T1 continues the “idolization” player in the middle of the drama
Perhaps no need to say frankly, the League of Legends community is also clear that T1 is one of the pioneering teams “Kpop turned” players. The players themselves like Faker, Gumayusi … also have to have activities to serve fans. But a recent move of T1 surprised their fans.
In the middle of the drama, T1 tensed the “money” move.
Accordingly, T1 officially launched a separate lightstick, not “gifted goods” as before. The LCK community also said that this lightstick was ordered by T1 for Hybe. And Hybe Group is not strange, when this is the host company of famous Kpop idols such as BTS, Newjeans …
Fans discovered the new Lightstick T1 price was sold up to 75k won.

However, the price for the new Lightstick made many people angry. Specifically, the price for these lightsticks is up to 75k won (about 1.3 million VND). This figure is even confirmed by Korean fans to be more expensive than many famous groups, such as BTS (about 33k Won), Newjeans (49K Won). These prices have not been charged to Vietnam.

The audience also could not help but annoyed T1
In fact, the fact that a League of Legends team in Korea makes lightstick is not strange. However, the price is making many T1 fans also difficult to understand. Maybe these lightsticks are high quality. But according to a fan, “While Newjeans lightsticks are also attached to the corner card, T1's nothing is attached.”
“Newjeans Lightstick also has an corner card, T1's lightstick is nothing.”
Kpop fans and T1 fans are also shocked at this price.
The “Idolization” player is a matter of almost all LCK (LPL) teams are pursuing and T1 is the most positive. However, this is also causing a lot of controversy, especially in recent times since Zeus's drama exploded, followed by Gumayusi's case and recently the Lightstick business at T1's “heavenly” price.
