This year, Coach Kim replaced Kim “kkOma” Jeong-gyu, who has been a part of the organization’s history for many years. However, Coach Kim has a legacy of his own, where not only did he go to Worlds with 3 different teams, he led one of them (Invictus Gaming) to become the World Champions. With the new and revamped T1 being led under Coach Kim, they finished 2nd in the regular season of the 2020 LCK Spring. 

 

Keria is a 17 year old Support player, who initially was with DRX as a trainee, then was called up to the main roster when the roster was reorganized last year. Not only did he show the aggressiveness and the innovation that is rarely found with a rookie, he was also recognized for his performance and was close to snatching the Player of the Split award away from Bdd.

 

 

The Player of the Split will receive 2,000,000 KRW (~1,630 USD), and the Best Coach and Young Player will each receive 1,500,000 KRW (~1,220 USD). Meanwhile, there are three categories for the LCK Awards that is yet to be announced, which is the All-LCK team, the Regular Season MVP, and the Finals MVP. The All-LCK team and the Regular Season MVP will be announced on the 23rd (KST), and the Finals MVP will be announced immediately after the conclusion of the 2020 LCK Spring Finals, which will take place on the 25th (KST).
