Newly promoted European League of Legends Championship Series team Misfits have announced the acquisition of former KT Rolster and Invictus Gaming jungler Lee "KaKAO" Byung-kwon to round out their 2017 lineup. The team announced the move in a video on their YouTube channel.

KaKAO hasn't played with a top-tier team since leaving IG at the end of 2015, so a move to Misfits will provide him another chance to prove himself as one of the world's premier junglers. He is widely known not only for his strong performances on Summoner's Rift, but also for his personality, which he demonstrates in the team's announcement video.

The YouTube post featured the expected Misfits starting five, with KaKAO joining Barney "Alphari" Morris, Tristan "PowerOfEvil" Schrage, Steven "Hans sama" Liv and Lee "IgNar" Dong-geun. PowerOfEvil and KaKAO will represent new additions to the team looking to make a mark in its first season in the top flight, having changed ownership in June and subsequently dominating the European challenger scene, earning a spot in the LCS after defeating FC Schalke 04 in the Summer Promotion Tournament.
