The representative of the KT Rolster team exchanged by phone with Kookmin Ilbo that there was a mistake while communicating between the parties involved in the division of cheering seats for fans on the field. Accordingly, the KT Rolster team is processing after consulting the parties.
The KT Rolster fans believe that the match at home T1 has violated the fairness and failed to comply with the basic principles. Meanwhile, KT Rolster's home match will not be held. Because the KT Rolster team does not have a private field, the home match takes place at LCK Arena. Here, the fans of KT Rolster are only 500 seats.
After arguing broke out, both T1 and KT Rolser decided to adjust the number of seats for fans. Accordingly, 500 seats for KT Rolster fans, 500 + α will be for T1 fans through the membership program. The remaining tickets will be sold to everyone.
According to Kookmin Ilbo, the LCK side announced the match on June 29 between T1 vs KT will be held at Goyang Sono Arena on June 29 under the name “T1 HomeGround – T1 home ground”. Here, T1 will be the home team and have the number of seats for fans to cheer more than KT – the visitors.
This is the first time a team at the LCK has been organized at home in the home field when the tournament conducts franchise. The organizers said they agreed with the proposal from T1 to create opportunities and conditions for teams to increase revenue and promote images.
Many KT fans were angry and thought that only T1 matches were played at home instead of rotating home – away. Meanwhile, the remaining matches are still held at LCK Arena – the common field ever.
