EPTLG-IM coach interview (Korean)
LG-IM LoL team members interview (Korean)
LG-IM, one of the premier Starcraft 2 teams in the world, now has a League of Legends division.
Main points in the articles:
- The LG-IM League of Legends team members:
Jungle - Jeon HoJin AKA "a Lilac", formerly from team OP.
Bottom AD - Choi Hyun Il AKA "Paragon", also former team OP member
Mid AP - Park YongWoo AKA "Mid King"
Bottom Support - Lee MinWoo AKA "Tatu", no previous professional gaming experience.
Top - Jeong YoonSeong AKA "Ring Troll", no previous professional gaming experience. Korean ELO: 1964, NA ELO: 2125
- The forming of the team has been on the works since September 2011. LG-IM is now fifth professional LoL team in Korea, after Startale, MiG, Najin e-Empire and Xenics Storm.
- The team members will join the LG-IM house on May 15th, and will officially debut in the OGN's "The Champions Summer" Preliminaries.
- a Lilac and Paragon will finish this "the Champions" season as team OP members. They will play all the remaining matches with their former team.
- a Lilac will be the jungler, unlike in team OP where he played top lane.
- a Lilac was handpicked by coach Kang to be the leader of this team.
- Tatu apparently was a very famous WoW Arena player. He was introduced to coach Kang by a close friend of his.
- The other three players (MidKing, Paragon and RingTroll) were suggested to coach Kang by a Lilac himself.
- Going to IPL5 is a possibility. Foreign tournaments are somewhat a priority.
EDIT: Looks like MVP wants a slice of the pie too...

Recent developments (May 17th): TIG source
1. Tatu out for the season due to personal reasons.
2. Lee Sang Jung AKA "CornSalad" (former team OP) in for LG-IM.
3. Tatu is still on the team, but CornSalad will be subbing in for him just for this upcoming season.
4. Since LG-IM got 3 former team OP members, it now has the rights to claim the team OP's seed for the next season.
- Oh well, hope he rapes.
