Renowned coach Kim “kkOma” Jeong-gyun is making a highly anticipated comeback with T1 for the upcoming League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) 2024 season. After taking a year-long break in 2023, following his time with DWG KIA (now Dplus KIA), kkOma’s return has generated excitement among fans ahead of the LCK 2024 off-season.
T1 has not only brought back kkOma but has also made changes to the coaching staff. Im “Tom” Jae-hyeon, who previously served as interim head coach, has transitioned to the role of coach, working alongside kkOma.
KkOma’s return to T1 holds great significance due to his long-standing history with the esports organization. While he initially started as a jungler in 2011 with StarTale, it was his transition from a pro player to a coach that truly showcased his talents. From 2012 to 2017, kkOma played a crucial role as a coach for T1, leading the team to secure three World Championships in 2013, 2015, and 2016.
His coaching prowess extends beyond the LCK team, as he also led Team Korea to a gold medal in the League of Legends category at the Asian Games 2022, a multi-sport event held in Hangzhou, China.
Here is the updated T1 coaching staff for LCK 2024:
| STAFF | POSITION |
|---|---|
| Kim “kkOma” Jeong-gyun | Head Coach |
| Im “Tom” Jae-hyeon | Coach |
| Lee “Oliver” Nam-hoon | Manager |
| Moon Kyung-nam | Manager |
