Woori Bank, having backed the LCK since 2019, solidified its commitment as the main partner once again during a signing ceremony held on the 12th.

The event saw key figures in attendance, including Woori Bank CEO Jung Jin-wan and Riot Games Korea Representative Cho Hyuk-jin. The bank has officially decided to continue its journey with the LCK, the premier professional League of Legends (LoL) league in Korea, which continues to dominate the global stage.

It is a long-standing partnership that has thrived since 2019. Thanks to Woori Bank's unwavering support, the LCK has not only cemented its massive popularity domestically but has also flexed its international muscle by producing world champions five times during this sponsorship period, proving it remains the gold standard in LoL esports.

Beyond the top tier, Woori Bank has been instrumental in grassroots development, notably through the 'Woori WON Banking High School LoL League,' which helps scout fresh talent. Furthermore, the Woori Financial Group extended its support to the national esports team during the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games, further cementing its role in the growth of the Korean esports ecosystem.

Riot Games Korea Representative Cho Hyuk-jin remarked, "Thanks to eight years of solid support from Woori Bank, the LCK has evolved into the world’s top LoL esports league and a sport enjoyed by multiple generations. We are truly grateful for their continued partnership and will do our best to maintain our status as the premier league."

Woori Bank CEO Jung Jin-wan added, "I still vividly recall the joy our esports national team brought to the nation with their gold medal performance at the Hangzhou Asian Games. I truly hope this partnership between Woori Bank and Riot Games continues to be a catalyst for the development and expansion of the esports scene."
