Updated: 12/10/2025, 8:47:20 PM Wikipedia source
T1 (previously known as SK Telecom T1 or SKT T1) is a South Korean esports organization operated by T1 Entertainment & Sports, a joint venture between SK Telecom and Comcast Spectacor. The team that would become SKT T1 was originally founded in 2002 by StarCraft player Lim "BoxeR" Yo-hwan under the name Team Orion, which was later renamed to 4 Union in December 2003. In April 2004, South Korean wireless carrier SK Telecom began sponsoring the team, officially creating the team SK Telecom T1. T1's League of Legends team has won a record six League of Legends World Championship titles (2013, 2015, 2016, 2023, 2024 and 2025), two Mid-Season Invitational titles (2016 and 2017), one Esports World Cup title (2024), and ten League of Legends Champions Korea championships, also a record.
