The 22-year-old and his former team Beijing E-sports Team parted company earlier today as he did not renew the contract after its expiration. While the speculations linking him with a move to top-flight teams such as Meet Your Makers and Mousesports have gone wild, mTw.PokerRoom have set the pace for a deal tie with the Night Elf veteran.
Check relished his arrival to mTw.PokerRoom in their official announcement:
"The reason why I decided to join mTw is that my contract with BeT has just expired and I was searching for a new team to play for," said Check. "mTw contacted me and after some negotiations, we have reached an agreement and it is a pleasure for me to join mTw. Therefore I will try to start out fresh again by practicing very hard and show good results in future. Thank you!"
After steering Beijing E-sports Team to WC3L Season XIII offline final following a successful regular season, which saw the Chinese based team become the only unbeaten ones, Check will be playing for his new team in the season playdown. Placing at ninth place at the end of the regular season, mTw.PokerRoom will have to battle against Fnatic for their place next season.
mTw.PokerRoom's current roster
Hyeong Ju 'Check' Lee
Johannes 'hanf' Morlo
Jonathan 'KiWiKaKi' Garneau
Yaraslau 'NightWOlf' Kavetski
Bernardo 'PaTo' Rodrigues
Lars Gerrit 'Protois' Reichelt
Tae In 'Rainbow' Kim

Earning more Money tha in BeT, I think :)
check simply had no other choice, this is the best choice for him i guess, tho even he will earn less money than he did in the past
I am pretty confident that Check earns more in mTw than he did in BeT.
Check is a top player and mTw is on "only " the 7th place in WC3L. Neither will Check help mTw achieve anything they couln't have done without Check nor do they give Check the chance to play with his full potential.
