SBENU Sonicboom picks up mid laner Rem, SaSin moves to coach
According to a report in FOMOS.kr, SBENU Sonicboom mid laner Oh “SaSin” Seung-ju has taken on a coaching position. To fill the mid lane, SBENU have picked up Lee **“Rem” **Hyun-seo.
“SaSin was the team’s shot caller and since we didn’t have a coach I offered him the position personally,” SBENU director Park Jae-seok told FOMOS. “In the first round, new member Lee ‘Rem’ Hyun-seo is expected to play. However, if Rem cannot adjust to the stage, SaSin may return to play.”
SaSin is known for his eagerness to play any and all champions — he played a whopping 23 total champions this past spring. Moving the talented player off the starting roster will come as a bit of a shock to fans.
According to FOMOS, Rem is a solo queue player who caught SBENU’s attention during his recent return to the game after taking some time off.
SBENU finished the LoL Champions Korea Spring Season in ninth place with a 2-16 series record. They were recently swept 0-3 by ESC Ever in the LCK Summer Promotion, and will now have to prepare for the summer season of LoL Challengers Korea.
“With the team’s makeover, the salary situation has been remedied and the players have even received a car for them to use,” Park said. “I think it is time for us to put up results and we will show a good performance in the challenger series and set a good base for the LCK.”
