T1 Esports has officially announced its roster for the Overwatch Champion Series (OWCS) 2026 season, confirming the six players who will represent the organisation as it sets its sights on another deep run toward the OWCS World Finals.

The lineup features a strong sense of continuity, with most of the core players from the 2025 campaign returning for another year. At the same time, T1 has made a key change to its support line, introducing a fresh face ahead of the new season.

Kim ‘Bliss’ So-myung has been unveiled as the team’s newest signing, joining as a support player. He replaces Kim ‘vigilante’ Joon, who departed the organisation in January. The move signals T1’s intention to refine its roster while maintaining the structure that brought consistent success last season.

Here is the full list 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

For the upcoming season, T1 will once again compete as a partnered team in the OWCS Asia region. The organisation stands alongside other top-tier teams such as Team Falcons and Crazy Raccoon, placing it firmly among the region’s elite heading into 2026.

As part of its early-season schedule, T1 is expected to appear at the OWCS Pre-Season Bootcamp in Seoul, South Korea. The event marks the first of several major Overwatch tournaments planned for the year and will take place from February 12th to 15th at the WDG Studio in Hongdae. Fans will have their first opportunity to see the refreshed roster compete live in a high-level environment.

During the 2025 season, T1 cemented its reputation as one of Korea’s strongest Overwatch teams. The organisation delivered consistently high placements across all three stages of the OWCS, finishing as runner-up in both stage two and stage three. These results secured qualification for the circuit’s two premier international LAN events, the Midseason Championship and the World Finals.

At the OWCS Midseason Championship, held as part of the 2025 Esports World Cup, T1 finished fourth out of 16 teams from around the world. The result saw them outperform several fan-favourite organisations, including Champions Clash winners Crazy Raccoon.

T1 followed up with a solid showing at the OWCS World Finals in DreamHack Stockholm. Competing against the best teams on the circuit, the squad placed between fifth and sixth alongside Weibo Gaming, finishing in the upper half of the 12-team field.

With a largely intact roster and a targeted new addition, T1 enters the OWCS 2026 season as a proven contender, aiming to build on last year’s momentum and push even further on the global stage.
