Yeong-han "Sp9rk1e" Kim is the most notable player to be signed by the the team. One of the most desirable prospects many had tipped for greatness following the conclusion of the Contenders season, Paris Eternal was an unexpected destination for the 17-year-old DPS star.
Multiple new coaching staff have been brought in to Paris Eternal. Also hailing from Element Mystic is Hee-won "Rush" Yun, while Jaeyoon "Aid" Go and Chung-Hyeok "Levi" Jeong will complete the trio of new coaches.

I'm joining @ParisEternal as a coach.
I have retired from being a player now
I'm very happy and excited to begin my new journey.
I learned many valuable lessons during my pro carrier and use all those to my coaching skills.
Thank you very much ! #FiatLux https://t.co/tK0HyW67CZ
