T1 Fall to BNK FEARX as kkOma Responds to Draft Questions

Time: 2026-02-15 15:00 (UTC)

A 1:3 loss to  BNK FEARX  in the second round of the LCK Cup 2026 Playoffs on Saturday, February 15, sent  T1  to the lower bracket, where the team will continue its fight for a spot in Hong Kong .

Head coach Jeong-gyun "kkOma" Kim answered journalists’ questions after the series.

Reflecting on the defeat, kkOma acknowledged the result and outlined the team’s next steps.

I’m disappointed with today’s loss, but we still have matches ahead of us. We will review the areas where we fell short and prepare well so that we can win the next series.

Speaking about the most disappointing aspects of the series, he pointed to the preparation gap between the teams.

During the preparation process, I felt that the opposing team prepared better. In the games themselves, it often felt like BNK was able to play comfortably.

Addressing questions about whether T1 ’s drafts in Games 1 and 2 were experimental, kkOma firmly denied the suggestion.

There was absolutely no experimentation in the playoffs. Every pick was made with the intention to win. In the preparation process, I think I may have set the wrong direction, and that likely led to this result.

Since we still have more matches to play, we will make the necessary adjustments and try to show a better performance next time.

LCK Cup 2026 runs from January 12 to February 28 in South Korea in a LAN format, featuring 10 teams. The top two teams of the tournament will represent the region at First Stand 2026.
