kt wiz lifted the regular season championship trophy after 7 years of joining the first team of professional baseball, setting the record for the shortest season win for a new KBO league club. In particular, he left a record of winning the first place in the regular season for the first time in a single league.

KT defeated the Samsung Lions 1-0 in the first place match of the Pro Baseball 2021 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO regular season held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 31st. The two teams recorded 76 wins, 9 draws and 59 losses over the course of 144 regular season matches, taking the first place in a single match.

With this, kt wiz won the regular season championship for the first time in 7 years since entering the first team stage in 2015. Previously, the NC Dinos (joined the first team in 2013, won the championship in 2020) and the SK Wyverns (joined the first team in 2000, won the championship in 2007) had won the regular season for the first time in 8 years.

Except for the ‘first-year member’, which was founded in 1982, no team has won the regular season faster than kt after joining the first team.
