T1 brought the festivities to a spectacular close on the 26th, securing a 2-0 victory against BNK FEARX in their 'Home Ground' match during the first round of the 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) at Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon. Despite the grueling schedule of playing two consecutive days following their match against Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) the previous day, T1 was fueled by the support of their home fans to silence BNK FEARX's counterattack.
The following is the full interview with the T1 roster after concluding their 'Home Ground' schedule.

Q. How do you feel after winning your second 'Home Ground' match?
'Doran': I am grateful to the fans who provide so much support and give us such a great experience every time.
'Oner': I'm very happy to have won 2-0 on the second day as well. I believe we won thanks to all the support. Thank you.
'Faker': I think we won because my teammates played well. It’s a valuable victory.
'Peyz': I'm very happy to have won both yesterday's and today's matches. I'm leaving with a great experience.
'Keria': I'm happy that we were able to secure two consecutive wins in our 'Home Ground' matches.
Acting Head Coach Lim Jae-hyeon: I'm very happy about the winning streak. It's also great that we won 2-0.
Q. It was a tight schedule having to play two days in a row. How did you prepare?
Acting Head Coach Lim Jae-hyeon: Our team has to handle many commitments outside of the matches, and I'm grateful to the players for doing so well in that regard. After yesterday's match, there was no time to practice separately for today's game. So, we just did a quick pick-ban preparation and went into the match.
Q. (To 'Keria') In the middle of Game 2, the kill score difference was over 10, and the opponent's Akali was well-fed. How high did you rate your chances of winning at that time?
'Keria': I thought our team composition was good and that we could buy time because we had stacked dragons well. I had faith that if we played slowly as a team, we could win, and personally, I didn't really think we were going to lose.
Q. (To 'Faker') You played your first 'Home Ground' match of the year. How was the experience of receiving support from such a large crowd.
'Faker': Just the fact that our fans were cheering so hard for us at our 'Home Ground' was a very valuable experience. I think we were able to finish well because of the help from the staff and many others who always work hard for these 'Home Ground' events.
Q. (To Acting Head Coach Lim Jae-hyeon) The performance felt much better today than yesterday. Was there any specific feedback given besides pick-ban?
Acting Head Coach Lim Jae-hyeon: I think there was some nervousness yesterday as it was our first 'Home Ground' match. Our scrim process is improving day by day, but yesterday, things didn't go as prepared. Today, however, the performance came out well.
Q. (To 'Peyz') This was your first 'Home Ground' match since joining T1. It must have felt different compared to when you experienced it as an opponent.
'Peyz': It felt like a past final to be playing in a large arena surrounded by fans after such a long time, so my heart was racing. I felt good and had fun while playing.
Q. (To 'Keria') You showed incredible performance today, following yesterday. How do you evaluate your current form?
'Keria': In the past, I tended to have good skill shots but lackluster macro, or decent macro but lackluster skill shots or laning. Recently, I think my skill shots and laning form have improved significantly compared to my macro. My macro still needs more refinement, but I think my form is good enough to fully pull my weight.
Q. Was there any performance or event during the 'Home Ground' that left the biggest impression?
'Doran': I enjoyed watching Zion.T's performance before the match yesterday.
'Oner': Today's 'Legends Never Die' performance was the most memorable because the atmosphere was so great.
'Faker': I also really liked Chrissy Costanza's performance.
'Peyz': The performance before today's match left a deep impression on me.
'Keria': All the performances were impressive, and the people who cheered for us, including the cheerleading captain, worked very hard throughout the weekend. It was also fun having them play the drums.
Q. (To 'Faker') Looking at recent LCK matches, there are many comebacks and chaotic brawls. What do you think is the cause?
'Faker': I think it's because of champion patch changes and the fact that it's early in the league, so each team is in an adjustment period. As the differences in each team's picks and game direction become more pronounced, it seems like we are seeing more chaotic brawls.
Q. (To 'Oner') What are your hopes for the second 'Home Ground' match in August, and what are your thoughts on the individual player cheer songs?
'Oner': I think the most important thing is for us to do our best and show great matches in August as well. I was familiar with all the cheer songs except for ('Peyz' Kim) Su-hwan's. After hearing Su-hwan's song today, I think it's the best one.
Q. (To 'Doran') Many ranged champions are appearing in the top lane recently. How important do you think laning is?
'Doran': Laning has always been important, but the ranged champions appearing recently are squishy, making them easy to die from a single mistake. So, I've become more sensitive, and playing well has become more important.
Q. Lastly, a word for the fans, please.
Acting Head Coach Lim Jae-hyeon: I sincerely thank the fans who traveled from afar and always support us. We will continue to show you good performances in the future.
