^DES used an old picture.

KT Rolster pro-gaming team will engage in off-season training from 24th to 26th April at Jeongseon district in Gangwon-do.

From 24th April, KT will spend 3 days and 2 nights at the High1 Resort (http://www.high1.com/eng/Hhome/main.high1) in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do to get ready for the upcoming season.

After departing for Jeongseon on the 24th, from the afternoon onwards, KT will take part in a survival game/motor-bike experience in order to foster team work. On the 25th, the players will be divided according to their BW race to discuss concrete ways of preparing for next season. On 26th April, they will take part in various light physical activities including hiking and playing ball games.

Coach Lee: "There will be big changes in the upcoming season but there isn't much time to plan for it so although it was a pity that we didn't win this season, we must make it our mission to capture the winners trophy next season. Because of this, the off-season training will be of real importance."

KT winning back to back proleague grand finals has improved the company faith in the players ability with increased salary I can bet you they can afford more than just an Ipad . Especially Lee Young Hoe ....

Early May is what I heard from Korean fans. Not yet confirmed.

One of the perks of being on a Kespa team is going on "training workshops". Every player looks forward to these because it's more like a vacation.

Yeah, it's a new picture, from their survival game yesterday.

Hery is a coach for KT, that's why he's always in the team pictures.

It's always a pleasure to read these "off-season training" articles. They're always more like "fun/awesome/silly shit that progamers do when they're not playing starcraft".

And those IPads, haha. Thanks Ryo.

As a paintball player, I am extremely appalled by the lack of safety at this event.

Really, you don't have socks or plugs for your markers? And these guys were holding the barrels up. What if the guns had extra paint within the barrel and they accidentally fired the markers?

Other than that, it sounds like it was a fun event.
