Keria reveals the truth behind T1’s underwhelming performance
Since the start of LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 until now, T1 has shown inconsistent form, only slightly improving after their Homeground series. Their current position still secures a spot on the Road to MSI 2026, but the defending 2025 Worlds champions’ performance remains disappointing. Explaining this, Keria admitted, “the team didn’t have enough practice time before LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 began.”
According to Keria in an interview: “The team didn’t perform well in the early phase. But it’s mainly because T1 started practicing later than other teams, so we probably warmed up slower.”
Additionally, T1 fans both overseas and in Vietnam have researched and compiled the schedule of the team’s stars since their Worlds victory. Excluding rest times and holidays, T1 players are facing a very tight schedule. Notably, a few years ago when Faker frequently had to attend events, the T1 fan community strongly criticized this, forcing the organization’s management to reduce the “God’s” workload.
T1 is making a powerful comeback
Despite a challenging start to the group stage, T1 has shown an impressive performance since the Homeground match and currently maintains an undefeated streak across all competitions. Once T1 is “in the zone,” it will be very difficult for any team to compete with the reigning Worlds champions.
