T1 extended its winning streak to two games Friday, sweeping Japan’s ZETA DIVISION 2–0 at Inspire Arena in Incheon, South Korea, during Valorant Champions Tour Pacific Stage 2 Week 2 (July 25–27). The victory marked the first mid‑season home‑ground event in VCT Pacific history and boosted T1 to 12 Championship Points, second only to Singapore’s Paper Rex in the race to Champions Paris.

Playing before a partisan crowd, T1 seized early control on Map 1, Corrode, behind standout Omen play from Kang "DH" Dong-ho. T1 closed the first half with an 8–4 lead, weathered a brief ZETA rally, and finished at 13–8. Map 2, “Sunset,” belonged to in‑game leaderKim "stax" Gu-taek, whose Sova picks and strategic recon pushed T1 to a 13–6 win and kept ZETA star Kim "TenTen" Tae-young from outdueling his older brother, Kim "Meteor" Tae-oh, on opposing teams.

In Group A, Korea’s other VCT contenders produced mixed results. Gen.G and DRX both notched 2–1 records this week, while Nongshim RedForce fell in a reverse sweep to Paper Rex and slipped to 1–2. Gen.G rebounded from a 3–13 loss on Icebox against Global Esports by routing Haven 13–3 and then stunning the previously undefeated squad with a 13–7 Corrode victory. Every Gen.G player posted a positive kill‑death margin in the decider.

DRX delivered a textbook performance against Team Secret, winning Icebox 13–8 on the back of Jett specialist Song "HYUNMIN" Hyun-min’s 22‑11 line, then closing Breeze 13–4 courtesy of Viper wizardry from No "freeing" Ha-jun.

Nongshim’s campaign faltered after taking Map 1 on Pearl versus Paper Rex; the Stage 1 champions rallied to claim Maps 2 and 3, handing Nongshim its first setback of the season. With the week’s results, Gen.G sits third in the Pacific standings with 11 points and DRX holds fourth with 10. Nongshim’s four points leave it in eighth place, facing an uphill battle to reach Paris.
