League of Legends: Royal Blues sign Kang-Yun "Trick" Kim

„We decided to add an extra option to our League of Legends squad. Therefore, we were looking for a player who already proved himself at the highest level. Kang-Yun is an exceptional athlete with great potential and a high level of gaming intelligence. He also knows the European League of Legends competition. With his skills and rich experience, he will help us to continue to improve. We are glad that Kang-Yun has chosen Schalke,“ welcomes Dylan Falco, Head Coach of the miners, the 23-year-old.

Kang-Yung Kim played for G2 Esports from 2015 to 2017. As a member of the Spanish Esport organization he won the spring and summer split of the European League of Legends Championship Series (EU LCS) in 2016. In the same year he was appointed to the EU LCS All-Pro Team. His outstanding achievements have repeatedly earned „Trick“ the title of „Most Valuable Player“ (MVP). The South Korean is looking forward to the sporting challenge with the miners: „Schalke is a unique club that has done a lot for esports. I’m pleased to play for Royal Blue in the future and can hardly wait for the new season to begin.“ With the commitment of Kang-Yun „Trick“ Kim, the miners now have an additional option on the Jungler’s position.
