History
When the organization was created in 1999 it consisted solely of a StarCraft team which was named KTF n016 Progame Team after the head sponsor, Korean Telecom Freetel. In 2001 the team was renamed KTF MagicNs. When the sponsor merged with Korean Telecom the gaming-organization subsequently went through several name changes and eventually ended up as KT Rolster (short for "Roller Coaster") in August 2009. The team transitioned to Starcraft II during the hybrid 2011-2012 Proleague Season 2.
In October 2012, KT Rolster added two League of Legends teams with members from teams NaJin Shield and the recently disbanded StarTale.
KT Rolster reached the Quarter-Finals of the 2015 League of Legends World Championship in 2015.
