It was a warm day in March when we met InSec. The purpose of our meeting: to have one last interview before he retired. We greeted each other somewhat awkwardly since it was our first time meeting him outside of a stadium. After brushing off the awkward greeting, we made our way toward a nearby cafe. We shared small talk as we walked down the street. Speaking to InSec in an informal context, he was more outgoing and talkative than we thought he'd be. He said that it's been quite a long time since he got interviewed in South Korea - yet he didn't seem nervous at all. By the time we reached the cafe, the atmosphere was much more comfortable and open. We mulled over where to start while we were waiting for our coffee. I had been debating how to go about this interview a whole week prior, but still hadn't found the right approach even as we sat down. In the end, I led with the most obvious question. Why Did He Decide to Retire?

It's now December, the final month of the year, and the trading window is in its last stage. Most of the teams have completed their team rosters and coach lineups, and have started their preparation for the upcoming year. During the stove league, we interviewed several players who will be facing new challenges with new teams, one of them being Sang-Yun “Sangyoon” Gwon, who successfully managed to renew his contract with Hanwha Life Esports. Hanwha Life Esports made some significant change to its lineup during the hot stove league. Among their top, jungle, and mid laners, the only player that got to stay was Tae-Hoon “Lava” Kim. On the other hand, all 4 bot laners, including the sub-members, got to stay. Hanwha completed their 10-man roster before any other teams could and began their preparation for 2019. Now Sangyoon, who has been with Hanwha Life Esports for 3 years now (including his time with the old ROX Tigers), will be entering the LCK with new teammates.
