KT Rolster, along with UmTi, made an official apology for the recent controversy he was involved in. On February 11th, along with a picture of UmTi's handwritten apology, KT Rolster posted an official apology on their Facebook. The controversy sparked when UmTi used the expression, ‘Hyung-nim, hyung-nim, ya' during his stream, which comes from a meme that mocks the deceased former president of South Korea. Following that, UmTi was questioned about whether he was a member of ‘Ilbe', a notoriously toxic Korean online community, which the meme supposedly originated from. According to the apology, KT Rolster conducted a thorough investigation and found no evidence of UmTi being involved with the aforementioned community. They determined that UmTi did not have any negative or mocking intent when he used the expression from a controversial clip.

The future was looking bright for Endemic Esports in the Heroes of the Storm scene. Once the 2018 Heroes Global Championship circuit ended after BlizzCon in November, Endemic worked to put together their official roster for the 2019 season. It was settled. Josh “bkid” Choi, Sammuel “bigempct” Hua, Dane “Daneski” Coleman, Vi “ViN” Nguyen and Liam “Liam” O’Malley would be the squad that Endemic would rock and try to contend in the North American region with. Then, Activision Blizzard put an end to that dream with one swift press release on December 13, ending their support of the professional Heroes of the Storm scene. The community was shaken, organizations that had invested money into the 2019 season, furious, and players whose gaming careers relied on the income, lost. This past week, Endemic Esports, led by Chief Executive Officer, Michael Reilly, released a statement that they had partnered with ULT, an apparel company, to support the players who never got the chance to represent their org in the new year.
