Team Liquid's 2026 MSI campaign in Daejeon has come to an end.

On the 1st, at the Daejeon Convention Center Exhibition Hall 2, Team Liquid failed to overcome T1 in the 4th round of the '2026 LoL Mid-Season Invitational (MSI)' Play-In stage. Following their previous loss, they were defeated 0-3 once again, missing out on a spot in the Bracket Stage.

Despite riding a wave of momentum after a clean 3-0 victory over KC, Team Liquid found T1 to be an insurmountable wall. In the post-match interview, 'Morgan' Park Ru-han shared his thoughts: "We missed opportunities in games where we had the advantage when we played T1 on the first day, and it was disappointing to see a similar situation unfold today. Our laning phase didn't go as planned, either. I felt the opponent was good at playing on the edge without avoiding fights; we tried to capitalize on that as much as possible today, but things didn't go our way."

When asked about the outstanding performance of his opponent, 'Doran', 'Morgan' said, "I felt that T1 had done a lot of research on how to approach top-lane champion picks after watching our games. They played well in that regard, and I think 'Doran' executed his role perfectly."

Having faced T1 many times in the LCK, 'Morgan' was asked about the difference in facing them as a North American team in an international tournament. He explained, "T1 definitely seems stronger in international events. I felt their momentum was different compared to when I faced them in the LCK in the past."

Reflecting on his MSI experience, he remained resilient: "This was my first MSI and my first international tournament in a long time. I had high expectations for myself and wanted to see how much I had grown. I gained a lot from this experience with my teammates, and I will prepare well for the next season."

'Morgan' Park Ru-han plans to stay in Korea for about a week to rest before returning to North America to prepare for the LCS. He concluded the interview by saying, "I was happy to greet fans in Korea through an international tournament after such a long time. Although our MSI run ends in the Play-In stage, I will work hard to prepare for the remainder of the LCS and make it to Worlds. Thank you to all the fans."
