Coach Kim Ga-eul, who has now become so impressive,

When the team league of the StarLeague began and it was drawing a certain amount of popularity, the leading players at the heart of it were KTF MagicNs and SK Telecom T1 (formerly Dongyang Orions). These two telecom-affiliated teams displayed truly unbelievable performance, and at the same time they were teams that the star players of the era belonged to. KTF had Hong Jin-ho and Park Jung-suk, and SK Telecom had Lim Yo-hwan and Choi Yeon-sung. In the moments when the Proleague was gathering great 'anticipation,' only SKT and KTF were visible. Meanwhile, Coach Kim Ga-eul's Samsung Electronics Khan was truly an unshakeable fixture in the lower ranks. Then, by winning the KeSPA Cup, they began to show potential.
Coach Kim Ga-eul was a former pro gamer, and the people who played games with Coach Kim Ga-eul gave her the nickname 'Brother Ga-eul.' At that time there were almost no female pro gamers, and even those who existed could hardly display this level of skill. Kim Ga-eul was almost one of a kind. I was truly delighted when she won the Proleague. She is one of the very few first-generation Proleague coaches who remain and are still the most actively involved. When Lim Yo-hwan was in the thick of his pro-gaming career, T1's coach was Joo Hoon, but now, at some point, isn't Lim Yo-hwan sitting in that coaching seat? Time flies..
