As known, on April 16, APK Prince had their final match at the LCK Spring 2020, resulting in a 1-2 loss to DragonX. However, this match could be described as… unusual, as APK’s defeat was likened to the “happiest loss on earth.”
First, they had successfully secured their spot despite losing to DRX, but the joy was doubled when APK managed to win one game in the Bo3 series, thereby helping another team, T1, maintain their top 2 position in the standings.
Right after the match, T1 sent their thanks and congratulations to APK for their achievement and promised to send gifts including a box of Lotte ice cream and a 50% discount voucher for APK players who wish to… buy T1 jerseys.
In fact, T1’s manager immediately proved this was not just an empty promise. Because less than 24 hours after the announcement, a gigantic gift box was sent to APK’s Gaming House.
Moreover, the number of gifts that this team received was worth many times more than T1’s initial statement, including a box of Mentos candy, a box of WorldConLotte ice cream, 5 T1 jerseys, numerous beverages accompanied by souvenirs, and especially premium meals from the Korean beef brand Wootender.
On Twitter, both teams exchanged compliments, with T1 congratulating APK on completing the season with their relegation goal, along with a promise to perform well in the playoffs to repay this support, while APK also sent their wishes to T1 with a very concise hashtag: #T1WIN (T1 Victory!).
