After announcing his free agency and departure from KT yesterday, legendary Support player Mata shares his time with KT, having cried for the first time as a professional player and being a part of the team as one of the best times of his life.









Translation:





After getting runner-up in the spring of 2017, everyone gathered backstage. We said that if we work hard again, we can win the championship.





After losing the Regional Qualifiers for Worlds, I cried for the first time as a professional player.

When I saw everyone's tired expressions, I thought it was just a game so why does it make people feel sad and tired?





When it was confirmed we would participate at Worlds, I was very happy and excited and lucky at the same time.

When I feel the support of countless fans is exactly why I am glad I went on the path to be a professional player.





In the past 2 years of my career with my team members and staff as well as the fans, I was able to learn a lot.

The time I spent in KT was very blissful for me and It will be the most important time of my life.





From KT Mata, thanks all for reading. I am currently looking for a team, you can contact me via Facebook message or KakaoTalk.





This heartwarming message was also met by replies by both Score and Deft with emoticons.





This is especially heartbreaking for fans for KT as this iteration of KT has been one of the strongest so far. Losing Mata can certainly be a huge blow to the organization, however, we wish the best of luck to him in finding a new home where his abilities can be used to produce the results he is looking for.
