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, .^[1] 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.^[2]
