T1 has announced that Lee “Gumayusi” Mi-hyeong has re-signed with the team for another year. Fans of the legendary organization will be thrilled to hear the news just days after T1 announced both Mun “Oner” Hyeon-jun and Ryu “Keria” Min-seok had also re-signed with the team.

With the star AD carry's signature now dry, T1 has now managed to retain 4 of the 5 players that secured the team to back-to-back World Championship trophies.

After T1's victory at the 2024 League of Legends World Championship, the only player who was already signed to remain with the team for the upcoming 2025 season was Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok. Now, the team stands just one signature away from securing themselves another shot at the title with the exact same 5-man roster that has now won the World Championship for the past two consecutive years.

"I'm so grateful to be with T1 and the T1 fans once again. I'll do my best until the day I become the best ADC in the world. Thank you."

T1 Zeus - The final piece of the puzzle

If the team gets Choi “Zeus” Woo-je to re-sign with the team, T1 and the legendary ZOFGK (Zeus-Oner-Faker-Gumayusi-Keria) will have a shot at extending their legacy even further in search of a third Worlds title.

Retaining a player of Zeus' caliber, however, could be no easy feat. During his relatively short career, the South Korean top laner has cemented himself as one of the very best players in his position not just at the moment, but perhaps of all time.

Now, with offers expected to rain down on Zeus from all parts of the world, returning to the professional scene in 2025 fielding the same entire roster would be a massive win for T1.
