As is known, recently, LCK Spring 2024 has officially returned and has started with two attractive couples. In particular, of course, all attention will be poured into the match between Gen.G – T1 – The match that has been considered the super classic of LCK is now more and more attention after 2023, when Gen.G is the defending champion of the LCK and T1 is the Tan Vuong of Worlds 2023.

However, even though it was just starting to start again, LCK happened. Specifically, according to a recent information from LCK media, the teams playing in the tournament have agreed to sign a commitment to speak out about the issue of profit distribution of the BTC award as well as reforms that will affect the tournament. Accordingly, on January 17, the teams said they requested the tournament to change for three years, but eventually fell into a situation that could not be solved peacefully and friendly.
But shortly after that, there were 9/10 LCK teams protested against the organizers because of the inadequacies in the management and operation of the tournament as well as dividing the rights of the teams
However, the problem arises when immediately, T1 announced that they did not attend this commitment. Accordingly, CEO T1 said: “Will talk privately with the LCK BTC and do not participate in these discussions or statements. We will discuss with Riot anymore, as a good business partner and will not hide fans.”. Thus, it can be seen that, in a certain aspect, T1 has been “insulted” by LCK media in the notice “all 10 teams in the tournament will oppose BTC”.
The T1 CEO confirms that the team does not participate in the other 9 teams because there are many inappropriate factors and will discuss with Riot, not as the media reported that “10 LCK teams participate in opposition”.
In addition, according to the announcement from the parent company of T1 (Comcast), the brand of this team is not always able to comfortably include official notices or not officially without the permission of T1 itself. In addition, T1 also said that they were aware of how tired the team players were. While one of the issues required by the remaining 9 teams is to solve the issue of the number of matches is much lower than other professional sporting events.

Obviously, T1 has a reason not to be in the same battle line as the remaining 9 teams in opposition to LCK. Not only is the brand issue, but it is T1 that is being fiercely opposed by the fans of the team when arranging the schedule, “running the show” dense, especially after the 2023 season ends.
