Fans of LCK juggernaut T1 have pulled a bizarre publicity stunt in protest at what they see as the poor management of the team.<\/p>\n

\n

T1 fans rented a truck. Messages read:<\/p>\n

“Reports of picking up an unproven head coach and a coach who’s caused public controversy”
“We demand the SKT T1 front office to clearly explain their thought process”
“there is no future for an organization that has abandoned its fans” https:\/\/t.co\/IjjVqDhMnA<\/a><\/p>\n

In a stunt that looked more like a political row over a supermarket coming to town than an esport organisation who have dropped their crown, T1 fans hired a truck to drive around Seoul with which angry messages denouncing T1’s management and future plans were displayed.<\/p>\n

The truck’s messages took aim at T1’s front office. (Picture: Shakarez)<\/span><\/p>\n

The truck reportedly started its journey at SKT Headquarters (the parent company of T1) and then driven past a number of the South Korean capital’s news outlets.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the truck followed this route, starting at the SKT headquarters (not T1 as I mentioned above, just SKT, the parent company’s HQ) and drove past locations where media outlets have officeshttps:\/\/t.co\/CPjYhEEKRL<\/a><\/p>\n

The messages were fueled by poor performances in the Summer Split which resulted in the team failing to qualify for Worlds 2020<\/a>, and unconfirmed reports<\/a> that Nick “LS” De Cesare and Choi “Polt” Seong-hun would be joining the coaching, potential moves which have only incensed the fanbase.<\/p>\n
