Global esports organization T1 will present fans with a new level of offline complex cultural space when it soft-opens its third T1 Base Camp (hereinafter TBC) location in Gangnam on October 3, equipped with top-tier hardware and dining facilities across a 476 pyeong space.
Located just a 2-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station in Gangnam, Seoul, the Gangnam location boasts an overwhelming scale spanning a massive total of 476 pyeong. Its core spatial concept is 'Capital of Dominion,' expressing T1's accumulated achievements and dignity in a futuristic manner, and it was designed to embody the meaning of 'To Be Connected' to communicate with fans at the closest distance possible. This massive offline hub will serve as a key venue for meetings with players and influencers in the future. Inside, a new Trophy Room showcasing the team's glorious championship history has been established, where visitors can view player handprints, jerseys, an audio zone, and more, with a kinetic art piece modeled after living legend Lee 'Faker' Sang-hyeok's signature pose being revealed to the public for the first time.
To deliver the ultimate gaming environment, the 24/7 PC Zone equips every seat with an AMD Ryzen 9800X3D processor and a high-performance RTX 5070 or higher graphics card. Select seats feature high-end RTX 5090 models and Samsung OLED QHD monitors supporting ultra-high refresh rates of over 500Hz, providing users with an unrivaled high-level play experience. In addition, independent spaces tailored for various group sizes—such as Focus Rooms, Duo Rooms, Team Boxes, and an Arena—are arranged throughout the 476 pyeong venue. Through large LED screens that span the entire venue, visitors can enjoy immersive esports viewing parties from anywhere inside. Additionally, a Gear Experience Zone to try out the latest equipment and a dedicated T1 Racing zone—where visitors can experience F1 racing using Samsung Odyssey G9 monitors and Logitech simulation equipment—will also be operated.
Newly introduced alongside the Gangnam location launch, the premium dining venue Hide on Bouche (HIDE ON BOUCHE) is drawing attention as the head chef responsible for the players' meals at T1 headquarters personally oversees the menu. Operating from 11:00 AM to midnight (24:00), it offers a special culinary experience beyond simple meals with a menu featuring steak, pizza, and desserts, as well as an extensive lineup of alcoholic beverages including beer and cocktails. The official goods shop previously located at T1 headquarters has also been renamed the T1 Flagship Store (T1 FLAGSHIP STORE) and relocated inside the venue with significant expansion. Visitors can receive custom marking services at the newly established Creative Lab (CREATIVE LAB), while unmanned gachapon machine zones operating 24 hours a day are placed throughout the venue to provide continuous entertainment.
T1 COO Ahn Woong-gi said, “T1 Base Camp Gangnam will be more than just a space to enjoy games; it will be an arena of connection (TBC - To Be Connected) where fans can closely share in T1's dazzling history and the presence of the players,” adding, “Through the flagship store expanded and relocated from our headquarters along with the premium dining, we hope it will establish itself as a new landmark for global esports culture.” T1 Base Camp (hereinafter TBC) Gangnam will enter full operation starting with its soft opening on October 3, accompanied by various on-site visitor events.
