T1 secured a clean 2-0 victory over Nongshim RedForce in the second round of the 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) regular season at LoL Park in Jonggak on the 13th. 'Faker,' who was named Player of the Match (POM) after a standout performance—including a solo kill on 'Scout's' Viktor with Akali in the second set—said, "We've been winning a lot lately, so our momentum is good, and I'm satisfied that things went well today."

Regarding the team's recent three-game LCK winning streak and their positive momentum leading into the Road to EWC, he added, "The atmosphere among the team members is great, and it's positive that we are seeing a lot of improvement during practice." He also shared his thoughts on the Game 1 draft, noting, "The draft for the first set went similarly to our preparation, which gave us a strategic advantage."

Meanwhile, teammate 'Keria' Ryu Min-seok reached 6k career assists, and 'Peyz' recorded the first pentakill of the 2026 season. 'Faker' remarked, "'Peyz' is known for getting pentakills in the LCK, so I thought, 'He finally did it.' I also reached 6k assists recently, so I'm proud that 'Keria' achieved it as well."

On his solo kill with Akali in the second set, 'Faker' commented, "I went in knowing I could get the kill. I think the opponent overextended. Viktor grew quite strong later on, but given our team composition, there were many opportunities for me to make an impact."

T1 is scheduled to face Gen.G this Saturday. Concluding the interview, 'Faker' said, "It's important for each player to improve their individual form. Gen.G also has strong individual players, so if we stay focused, I believe we have a good chance of winning."
