South Korean organisation T1 has unveiled its roster for the Overwatch Champion Series (OWCS) 2026 season.
Six players will once again represent the organisation, from long-time members to new additions, as they compete across multiple stages in a run to reach the OWCS World Finals later this year.
UPDATE 06/02/26: T1 has since announced that Gael ‘Poko’ Gouzerch has joined the organisation’s Overwatch team as a partner streamer. He is a Tank main who has been playing professionally since 2016, and boasts 188,000 followers on Twitch.
The majority of players who competed for T1 in 2025 have remained for another season. However, Kim ‘Bliss‘ So-myung has been revealed as the latest addition to the roster as the new support player, replacing Kim ‘vigilante‘ Joon, who left the organisation back in January.
Here is the full roster of active Overwatch players representing T1 in 2026:
- Kim ‘DONGHAK‘ Min-sung – Tank
- Hong ‘Proud‘ Suk-jin – Damage
- Kim ‘skewed‘ Min-seok – Support
- Kim ‘ZEST‘ Hyun-woo – Damage
- Jeong ‘jasm1ne‘ Jong-min – Tank
- Kim ‘Bliss‘ So-myung – Support
As it stands, T1 is a partnered team in the Asia region for the OWCS 2026 season, standing alongside Team Falcons, Crazy Raccoon and many more.
As such, the team is likely to appear in the OWCS Pre-Season Bootcamp in Seoul, South Korea, the first of many planned Overwatch events in 2026. Eager fans will be able to see the team live in action in the tournament taking place from February 12th to 15th at the WDG Studio in Hongdae.
T1 in Overwatch Esports
In the 2025 season, T1 established itself as one of the top-performing teams in Korea. Its high placements in all three stages of OWCS, including runner-up in stages two and three, resulted in the team qualifying for the two biggest LANs of the circuit: the Midseason Championship and the World Finals.
In the OWCS Midseason Championship, held during the 2025 Esports World Cup, T1 placed fourth out of 16 international teams, outperforming fan favourite organisations such as Champions Clash winners Crazy Raccoon.
T1 also had a decent performance in the OWCS World Finals in DreamHack Stockholm, placing between fifth and sixth alongside Weibo Gaming out of the 12 teams that participated.
OWCS is shaping up to be another intense year of Overwatch esports, with LAN events planned for Japan and China, but only time will tell whether T1 can showcase a stronger performance this time around.
