As predictable as it may be after all these years, SK Telecom T1 are the champions again, this time at the 2017 LCK Spring Split. It may be getting hard to recall just how many Spring titles have went to SKT at this point, but with the exclusion of 3 members - Faker, Bang Wolf - this prestigious award is fairly new to the majority of the team's members.

Peanut seemed to be one of the most emotional players at the winner's ceremony. While he seemed to be fully integrated to SKT on the Rift, he is only a couple months removed from the disbanding of one of the most beloved teams in the world, the ROX Tigers. And while their trash-talking and banter in the OGN's pre-finals segment may have been fun and all, he made it a point after the game to give his utmost affection to his long-time friend, Smeb. During Akshon Esports' coverage of the LCK Finals, Peanut said the following in his post-game interview:

I want to take this time to thank the coaching staff of SKT, as well as my teammates. After the finals, Smeb came and happily greeted me, and I want to tell him how unbelievably thankful I am. Finally, I want to tell my non-Korean fans that I will be there to meet them soon (at MSI). - SKT Peanut

I wanted to break the perception that I was weak on the big stage. I have had problems with stamina last year, so I worked out to make sure I improved in that area. If I didn't win this time around, I was about to tell kkOma that I just might not be talented enough, so I'm so happy to have won. I'm excited to see our foreign fans at MSI. - SKT Peanut

As evidenced by former ROX jungler Hojin's facebook, 6 members of the 2015-2016 ROX Tigers met up in a get-together after the LCK Spring Finals, putting to rest any controversial rumors surrounding the nature of their break-up and resentment between certain members. And once again, we look back at the glory days of the sponsor-less, KeSPA-unaffiliated bad-asses known as the ROX Tigers - Smeb, Peanut, Kuro, PraY, Gorilla. We are an entire season removed from their era, but it's clear their magic hasn't dispersed from us.
