Not even a day after the recent news that support player, Won-sik “Closer” Jung, had been traded to the Dallas Fuel, the London Spitfire have signed 19-year-old DPS player, Hee-dong “Guard” Lee. Guard was formerly with Element Mystic, a Korean Contenders team, and had been a part of that organization for the past year. Guard helped lead Element Mystic to a third-place finish in Korean Contenders this past season, losing to league champion, Runaway, 3-1 in the semifinals.
As is tradition, the changing of the guard brings in fresh faces. Joining our ranks from @ElementMystic for #OWL2019, welcome to the London Spitfire @guard_ow! #AcesHigh pic.twitter.com/YTlpSWtxI2

With this addition, the Spitfire add a rotational Sombra and Tracer player to their DPS core of Ji-hyeok “birdring” Kim and Joon-yeong “Profit” Park. The Spitfire have their sights set on another championship this year and look to build around their current core of players.
