Overseeing the team as head coach is Kim “Kim” Jeong Soo, who has a breadth of experience winning Worlds in 2018 with Invictus Gaming and leading DAMWON Gaming.
The Korean team still stands as the only team to have won the World Championship title three times, becoming one of the most dominant forces in the League Of Legends scene.
This year however saw the team get eliminated by G2 Esports in the semi-finals, who were later trounced by FunPlus Phoenix in the Paris final.
