Korean Jungler Rush Makes Impressive Debut for KT Rolster
KT Rolster surprised fans in the LCK and NA LCS by fielding fan-favorite jungler Lee “Rush” Yoon-jae in his first competitive game in over a year. Rush, who last played for Cloud9’s challenger team in 2016, joined KT Rolster in December 2017 but had not made his debut until now.
Despite already securing their playoff spot, KT decided to play Rush and mid laner UcaL in their match against Afreeca Freecs, and they came out victorious with a 2-0 win.
In the second game, Rush showcased his renowned skills on Lee Sin, a champion he is known for playing in Korean solo queue. Fans can find numerous montage videos showcasing his Lee Sin play on YouTube.
Rush played a crucial role in KT’s victory, going deathless and contributing to eight of KT’s 12 kills. However, UcaL stole the spotlight with exceptional performances against Afreeca Freecs’ mid laner Kuro.
Throughout the match, Rush proved to be a constant threat to Afreeca Freecs, assisting his team in securing all objectives. Afreeca Freecs struggled to take down any towers, resulting in a decisive victory for KT.
With the conclusion of the LCK regular season, KINGZONE DragonX, Afreeca Freecs, KT Rolster, KSV Esports, and SK Telecom T1 will advance to the playoffs, with a chance to represent Korea at MSI 2018 in Europe.
The playoffs will kick off on March 31, starting with a best-of-three between KSV and SKT. The winner of that match will face KT Rolster in the next round, where fans hope to see more of Rush’s impressive performance on the stage.
