At 20th of November KST, the biggest news yet in 2018 offseason hit. SK Telecom T1 announced that it is parting ways with seven of its members, including Bang and Wolf who have played with the team for five years.

After the news was announced, Lee “Wolf” Jae-wan went on his Twitter account and shared a message with his fans. The full translation of his Twitter message is as below:

안녕하세요! 정말 몇시간전부터 뭐라고 글을 적을지 고민하고 고민하다가 이제서야 몇자 적어봅니다

일단은 오피셜이 나온거처럼2013년 10월에 입단해서 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 총 6년차네요! 티원에서 지냈는데요 오늘부로 종료되었습니다 — Lee JaeWan (@LoL_Wooolf) November 19, 2018

Hello! I’ve been contemplating for a few hours on what I should write, and I’ve finally come up with a few words. I have joined T1 in October 2013, and I spent 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018…In total six years in the team. As it has been officially announced, this ends today.

It’s a team that I’ve spent six out of seven years as a professional gamer. It’s weird to be the person who’s walking away, after having sent off so many teammates myself. First of all, I’m planning to look for another team and continue to be a professional gamer. I’m not retiring, so do not worry too much!

I would like to thank my teammates who’ve been with me all this time. I would like to thank the staffs and the coaches, managers, players, friends, all my professional gamer colleagues. Most of all, I would like to thank the fans who have supported both “Wolf” the professional gamer and “Lee Jae-wan” the person.

During the season, I only thought of the difficulties of being a professional gamer, but now looking back, I can only think of the thankful things. I debuted when I was seventeen, and from eighteen to twenty-three, the time flew by so fast. Making mistakes, being told off, learning year by year. I keep repeating myself, but I am so thankful.

I want to keep typing, but then I might go on forever so I’ll end it here! Thank you for the fans who have loved SKT T1 Wolf so far. Please know that the support of the fans and your replies have meant the world to me.
