SK Telecom T1 Searching for New Jungle Talent
After a disappointing year, SK Telecom T1 is on the lookout for new talent in the jungle position. They have set their sights on former SKT jungler Han “Peanut” Wang-ho, according to a report from Korean esports media site Inven. Peanut previously played with SKT when they won MSI in 2017 but failed to secure a victory at Worlds against Samsung Galaxy. He then joined Kingzone DragonX, reuniting with his former teammates Kim “PraY” Jong-in and Kang “GorillA” Beom-hyeon.
Negotiations Underway with Kingzone
SKT has initiated negotiations with Kingzone, Peanut’s current team, through formal LCK channels. The outcome of these talks is yet to be confirmed, but the initial negotiations reportedly lasted around an hour.
Other Considered Players
SKT is not solely focused on Peanut, as they have also expressed interest in two other unnamed junglers. However, one player declined the offer, and the response from the other was unclear, according to a league official.
Peanut’s Return Would Excite Fans
Peanut is a fan favorite for SKT, second only to the legendary Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok. The potential reunion of these two players is sure to generate excitement. It is important to note, though, that no concrete decisions have been made so far.
