The period of time between Champions Summer 2014 and Champions Spring 2015 has been so action-packed that it’s easy to forget that KT Rolster are technically reigning champions back in Korea. Summer 2014 was a magical tournament for the KT Arrows, but with the departure of Lee “KaKAO” Byung-kwon and Song “Rookie” Eui-jin, KT arguably lack the flair they need to become champions once more.
It’s not all terrible news, though. After the dissolution of the Arrows and Bullets, KT management decided that veteran AD Carry Go "Score" Dong-bin was too valuable to lose despite Arrow’s superiority as a carry. As such, he was transferred to the jungle to replace KaKAO -- an intelligent move given his shot-calling prowess and tight teamplay. Score impressed on his first day in the jungle during the Champions pre-season, and remains a bright hope for KT.
Elsewhere on the Summoner’s Rift, Kim "ssumday" Chan-ho has been quietly performing in the top lane. He looks to be KT’s breakout player of the season, given the departure of many of his rivals from the Korean scene. Although his proficiency with skillshot-reliant champions still leaves something to be desired, his tank play has been nothing short of magnificent. Watch out for his flanking plays and bold initiation.
Spring will be a season of unknowns for KT. Not only is Score’s jungling still a relative mystery, KT have a revolving door of substitute players who are vying for some time in the spotlight. KeSPA rules state that each team can have up to 10 players on their roster, but KT have not officially named any for the Spring season thus far.
KT Rolster’s search for a strong, stable roster may continue well into the Spring season, but for now, their solid preseason performance and status as a top 3 Korean team nets them the No. 9 spot on our rankings.

You can tell these were ranked before champs spring started in korea ^^||
Ya well its called Preseason ranking for a reason its all based on moves you made in offseason and what you did during preseason! These have already been made 20 through 1 probably a week or two ago and they are set to go in automatically at a certain day!
Nagne is so terrible. Score done quite well adept to jungler. Now KT is all about ssumday carry.
Elements have barely played any games and are higher than GET?
You must be very salty if you are QQ ing about this even in an article about KTR.
I was wondering which the f**k is the K Rolster team.
