History

When the organization was created in 1999, it consisted solely of a StarCraft team which was named KTF n016 Progame Team after its head sponsor, Korea Telecom Freetel. [1] In 2001, the team was renamed KTF MagicNs. When the sponsor merged with Korean Telecom, the organization subsequently went through several name changes and eventually ended up as KT Rolster (short for "Roller Coaster") in August 2009. The team transitioned to Starcraft II during the hybrid 2011-2012 Proleague Season 2. [2]

In October 2012, kt Rolster added two League of Legends teams with members from teams NaJin Shield and the recently disbanded StarTale. [3]

Having reached the quarterfinals of the League of Legends World Championship on three occasions (2015, 2018, 2023), the organization achieved its highest placement in international competition after making the finals of the 2025 League of Legends World Championship.
