Kevin "KonKwon" Kwon has joined Team Liquid as an "off-site" support substitute, the player told ESPN's Tyler Erzberger Wednesday.

According to Erzberger, KonKwon will not be rotating with Team Liquid's starting support Matthew "Matt" Elento and will instead be someone Matt can call for assistance and work with. However, it is unclear exactly what the nature of KonKwon's relationship to Liquid's LCS roster will be.

KonKwon announced his retirement from professional League of Legends in July, after playing for Apex Pride and NRG Esports. He was signed to Big Gods Jackals in December, but did not play any games in the 2017 NA Challenger Series Spring Season for the team before signing with Team Liquid.

"My main goal is to be starter in LCS for now," KonKwon told ESPN. "Obviously I aim to be top player but nothing will be possible if I don't get play time. I started playing again after a long break of 5 months or so and I am re-learning the game and it's been very enjoyable and helpful so far. I hope people can give me another chance and reevaluate my value as a player."

Team Liquid is currently tied for eighth in the NA LCS standings with a 2-6 record, while Matt currently has a 2.4 KDA, the third lowest of all NA LCS supports this split so far.
