SK Telecom T1: Are they the New Super Team in LCK?
As the offseason begins, League of Legends teams are making exciting changes to their rosters. One team that stands out from the rest is SK Telecom T1 (SKT). Known for their consistent performances, SKT decided to shake things up and create a powerful roster for the upcoming season. They signed Kim “Khan” Dong-ha, Kim “Clid” Tae-min, Park “Teddy” Jin-seong, and Cho “Mata” Se-hyeong to join forces with the legendary Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok. This new lineup has already shown incredible potential with their recent victory in the LCK.
Previously, SKT struggled to find their rhythm with inconsistent performances. However, with their new additions, the team seems to have found their stride. SKT’s recent 2-0 victory against KINGZONE DragonX, including a nearly perfect game, has left fans wondering if they have reached a whole new level of gameplay.
The Rise of the Top Lane Carry
Khan, SKT’s top laner, has been a key player in the team’s improved performance. In the past, Khan’s gameplay was inconsistent, often making questionable decisions. However, in their recent series against Gen.G, Khan showcased his skills by playing champions like Fiora, Riven, Jayce, and Vladimir. On these champions, he has an impressive combined KDA of 17/1/18. SKT has put their trust in Khan, and he has not disappointed.
The Impact of Mata
Another player who has played a vital role in SKT’s success is Mata. Initially, Mata struggled to find his footing in the team, making wrong plays and getting caught out. However, in recent weeks, Mata’s decision-making has improved significantly. His well-timed initiations and shot-calling have turned the tide of battles in SKT’s favor. Mata’s performance on champions like Alistar and Tahm Kench has been exceptional, proving himself as a force to be reckoned with.
SKT’s Final Form
SKT’s roster changes have generated a massive amount of hype, comparable to the legendary team that included Uzi and Mata in 2016. However, SKT’s ultimate goal is to win the World Championship, something that eluded their previous team. With a lineup of experienced and talented players like Faker, Mata, Khan, Clid, and Teddy, SKT is determined to reclaim the Summoner’s Cup. While they still have improvements to make, their recent gameplay suggests that they have yet to unlock their full potential.
