Chae Gwang-jin, (born February 4, 1994) better known as Piglet, is a South Korean League of Legends player who plays mid-lane for Team Liquid of the North American League of Legends Championship Series. Piglet, playing AD Carry, won the Season 3 World Championship in 2013 with LCK team SK Telecom T1.
With Team Liquid he finished in 3rd place both in the Spring and Summer splits of the North American League of Legends Championship Series, but once again missed the World Championship when his team was beaten by Cloud9 in the final qualifying gauntlet.
Before Piglet played League of Legends, he was a semi-professional player of StarCraft. His family was strongly against him becoming a pro gamer, so he lied that he quit the game. Meanwhile, he went to PC bangs to play and practice. However, he felt that he didn't play well enough and gave up the idea of being a pro. After playing League of Legends Piglet wondered if it would also have a pro scene, and when he saw people playing the game on TV his interest in becoming a pro reignited. When the South Korean servers of League of Legends opened, he began to practice more. Eventually Piglet received offers from several teams, but he decided to only contact SK Telecom T1 (SKT). In February 2013 Piglet joined the newly created SK Telecom T1 #2 after successfully passing their tryout test.
Piglet and his team's playing debut was in OLYMPUS Champions Spring 2013, which put them in Group A together with CJ Entus Blaze, KT Rolster A, MVP Blue, MVP Ozone and NaJin Sword. The rookie team surprised by finishing at the top ahead of tournament favourites CJ Entus Blaze. In the quarter-finals, the team faced NaJin Shield which they swept 3–0, putting them in a semi-final against MVP Ozone. Despite being heavily favoured SKT was upset by MVP, who beat them 3–1. In the following 3rd place match SKT beat CJ Entus Frost 3–0.
