T1 defeated DRX 2-1 in the second round of the 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) regular season at LoL PARK in Jonggak on the 20th, securing their fifth consecutive win and reaching 11 victories for the season.

T1 acting head coach Lim Jae-hyeon briefly commented on the win, saying, "I'm happy we won." 'Faker' Lee Sang-hyeok, who joined him, added, "While the 2-1 score is a bit disappointing because managing game points is important, I am happy with the victory itself."

When asked about today's performance, Acting Head Coach Lim Jae-hyeon assessed, "Our performance was generally good. However, we had several mishaps early in the second set, including plays we had intended to avoid." Meanwhile, 'Faker,' who was named Player of the Match (POM) for the second consecutive time following today's win, replied, "We have improved since the first round, but there are still areas lacking, so I am working to raise our performance level as much as possible before the playoffs."

There was also a question regarding the Lee Sin pick that 'Willer' performed well on in the second set. Acting Head Coach Lim commented, "Lee Sin received a significant buff to his W ability. His tier has certainly risen compared to before, but I don't think he is a must-pick." They also asked 'Faker' for his thoughts on being selected for the Asian Games national team.

'Faker' stated, "I am grateful to have been selected for the Asian Games national team; it is an honorable position. As I am representing the country, I will do my absolute best. Since I have had a long career, I have been able to participate three times, and I will approach the games with a sense of responsibility commensurate with that."

Finally, Acting Head Coach Lim Jae-hyeon expressed his resolve, saying, "We will manage our points well and aim to win our remaining matches 2-0. We are targeting the highest possible ranking." 'Faker' concluded the interview by saying, "I am always grateful to the fans who support us."
