Only two players remain on KT’s active roster: mid laner Soo “Ucal” Woohyon and ADC Kim “Aiming” Ha-ram. The organization parted ways with top laners Song “Smeb” Kyung-ho, Kim “SoHwan” Jun-yeong, and Jeon “Ray” Ji-won, junglers Kim “Malrang” Geun-seong and Kim “BonO” Gi-beom, mid laner Lee “Kuro” Seo-haeng, and support Park “TusiN” Jong-ik.

KT had a lackluster year in 2020. They finished fourth during the 2020 LCK Spring Split and sixth in the summer. The team chose to start a few different roster combinations in the hopes of building better synergy between the players, but that didn’t work out in the long term.

KT’s middle-of-the-pack place in the standings didn’t give them a shot at this year’s World Championship. As a result, KT continued its streak of missing Worlds for the second year in a row.

While it’s unclear who will join Ucal and Aiming on KT in the debut franchised split of the LCK next spring, both players performed well last split and it’s clear that the org plans to build around them.
