On the 14th, T1 lost 2-1 to Dplus KIA in the first match of the '2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK)' Team Roadshow Home Ground, held at the KSPO DOME in Seoul's Olympic Park. Despite a promising start with a win in the first set, they were unable to stop the momentum Dplus KIA built starting in the second set.

Appearing at the post-match press conference, Acting Head Coach Lim Jae-hyeon summarized the day, saying, "So many fans came out to support us, and I am sorry we couldn't reward them with a win. We had advantages in the second set that we failed to capitalize on, and the third set featured a composition that was difficult to execute."

'Keria' Ryu Min-seok shared a similar assessment. "We had many favorable turns in the second set," Keria said. "Instead of capitalizing on them, we took losses, which made the game very difficult. In the third set, it wasn't just about the composition; if we had played with more awareness of the opponent's designs, the outcome could have been different. We were caught out too easily and collapsed."

T1 will play their second home ground match against Gen.G at the same venue in two days. Acting Head Coach Lim Jae-hyeon said, "It is very disappointing that the things we discussed before the match didn't translate into our gameplay. If we focus our feedback on those areas, I believe we can win."

Finally, Keria expressed his resolve, saying, "We are playing on home turf during a critical time. I know many fans came to support us and had high expectations, so I am deeply sorry for our disappointing performance and the loss. We have one more chance on Sunday, and we will make sure to show a better side of ourselves then."
