T1 announced will host a home ground event from July 25 to 27 at the Incheon Inspire Arena, featuring two LCK CL matches with T1 Academy facing the academy rosters of Gen.G and DRX, as well as two LCK matches where T1 will go up against Gen.G and Nongshim RedForce. The event will also include a VALORANT showmatch and a VCT Pacific match between T1 and ZETA. Musical performances will also take place each day throughout the event.

This isn’t the first time T1 has brought its massive fanbase together to celebrate the organization and the players who represent it. The team has a history of hosting large-scale events that strengthen the bond between fans and players, creating memorable moments both on and off the stage. Similar initiatives have also been led by the LCK, such as the recent roadshow in Busan for the final BO5s of the Road to MSI, which drew thousands of passionate supporters. In that context, it's clear that T1’s popularity across South Korea is not only enduring — it’s unmatched.

Exciting matchups ahead

The first day of the Home Ground will start strong, featuring T1 Academy vs. Gen.G Academy in LCK CL, followed by the exciting LCK matchup between T1 and Gen.G as part of the Round 3–5, A clash that consistently delivers a remarkable show and high-level League of Legends between ten outstanding players. To close out the day, singer and dancer Kim Jun-su will take the stage with a live performance.

Day two will spotlight VALORANT, beginning with a showmatch and leading into a VCT Pacific clash between T1 and ZETA. The 24-member multinational girl group TripleS will perform on stage. On the final day, League of Legends returns with T1 Academy facing DRX Challengers in LCK CL, followed by a second LCK match between T1 and Nongshim. The event will conclude with a performance from Beatpella House at the Inspire Arena, which can accommodate up to 15,000 fans.

Getting closer to the fans

Riot Games competitions are often held in studios located in Seoul, Los Angeles, or Berlin, but the publisher is increasingly trying to break away from the usual venues by organizing events in various locations to attract larger audiences, since studios can only accommodate around a hundred people. Recently, in the LEC, we saw successful roadshows in Madrid and Paris that drew thousands of fans. Fanbases of certain teams like Karmine Corp, Movistar KOI, and here T1 are highly engaged, and events like these work well—for Riot, the teams, and the fans alike.
