Peanut comes from Gen.G, where he spent the 2019 season. Before that, he played for Kingzone DragonX, ROX Tigers, and SK Telecom T1, where he reached the grand finals at the 2017 League of Legends World Championship.
ZanDarC had spent the last six years as a part of the KT Rolster organization. During his time there, the team won the 2018 LCK Summer Playoffs and reached three LCK finals. KT Rolster had a tough year in 2019, finishing the spring and summer splits with 4-14 and 6-12 records, respectively.
LGD Gaming has had its struggles in the LPL as well, finishing in 14th place during the summer after a 3-12 record. The first split of the year wasn’t much better, as they went 5-10 and finished in 11th place.
