Seeing the chance to swoop in and decide up among the greatest LCK expertise, DN Freecs have already grabbed each Search engine marketing “deokdam” Dae-gil and Jeong “Peter” Yoon-su to maintain the duo collectively.
Whereas deokdam had a tough displaying within the Grand Finals, each different match he was in at Worlds 2025 was stellar. Peter, in the meantime, lastly received on a superb roster after spending years on Nonghsim RedForce and earned the possibility to point out what he’s manufactured from.

KT will get bot lane downgrade after making Worlds 2025 Finals
KT Rolster was actually an underdog group going into Worlds 2025, with three of the 5 gamers on the group being benched sooner or later in 2025. Peter and deokdam have been each on that record, however they leveled up massively within the later components of the yr and delivered when it mattered most.
Now they’re ranging from scratch with a brand new bot lane. Essentially the most promising signing is Ghost, a 2020 World Champion ADC participant who’s performed with Gwak “Bdd” Bo-seong prior to now and is roleswapping to help.

Pollu, the second help they’re signing, has spent his whole skilled profession with OK BRION, who look like eyeing up big upgrades this offseason. And, whereas the group didn’t general have nice outcomes, that doesn’t precisely imply that Pollu is a nasty participant.
