After a grueling five-game battle, T1 clinched the KeSPA Cup, lifting the trophy for the first time and kicking off the new season.

T1 defeated Hanwha Life Esports 3-2 in the KeSPA Cup finals held on December 12, winning their first KeSPA Cup championship in team history.

This is not only T1's first championship title since the tournament's inception in 2015, but also another important honor for the team. Following their victory at the World Championship a month ago, T1 has once again stood on the highest podium, completing their second championship trophy for the 2025 season.

It is worth mentioning that this victory is also the first KeSPA Cup title for all the current players, and the team's core player Faker has successfully completed this career achievement in his first participation, adding another important chapter to his legendary resume.

Throughout the series, T1 demonstrated the stability of a strong team under pressure. In the first two games, T1 quickly established an advantage with excellent team fight execution and map control, winning consecutive games to take a 2-0 lead. Although their opponents subsequently rallied to win the next two games, forcing a decisive fifth game, T1 quickly regained their composure in the crucial fifth game.

In the decisive game, T1 controlled the situation through successful mid-lane attacks, disrupting the opponent's plans with multiple crucial team fights and gaining a decisive advantage in mid-game team fights. The consistent performance of their core damage dealers in team fights helped T1 quickly widen the gap and destroy the opponent's base at 22 minutes, securing the victory.

With the new season about to begin, this trophy undoubtedly gives T1 a shot in the arm and makes the outside world full of expectations for their future performance.
