The organization from South Korea was not initially called T1. It happened in 2012 when the sponsor appeared and the League of Legends roster was signed. Since then, the organization has become one of the most successful in this discipline, having achieved victories at many LoL Tournaments. It has not missed the main trophy. The team became the world champion three times with different rosters, holding the record in this discipline. Let’s take a look at the top five victories of T1 in history.

T1 confidently outplayed the opponent on all maps. The Korean team picked Jax three times, having relied heavily on this champion. The victory brought not just the championship title but a record-breaking million dollars as winnings.

The victory over Samsung Galaxy at Worlds 2016
T1 managed to become champions in the following year. This time, there also was the South Korean derby but it could not be called an easy one. The match against Samsung Galaxy was extremely tough. At first, T1 opened the score, having won two maps. They were one step away from the third championship trophy. On the third map, Samsung Galaxy managed to come back, having won the long map that lasted 71 minutes. This had a positive impact on their morale, so T1 lost the next map too.
