Introduction: The S16 season competition has officially begun, and it is believed that most players have been following the recent matches. The LCK region's matches are extremely intense. Recently, T1 team has become a focal point of discussion among many netizens, especially after their home match concluded. The atmosphere was fantastic, with cheers from the fans rising wave after wave. Even high-ranking officials from Korea attended T1's home event, gathering various data. It is evident that the current situation in the LCK region is not particularly favorable. During the recent home event, T1 team officially announced the renewal of their contract with support player Keria for three years. K-Doctor even shed tears on the stage, marking the emergence of a world-class mid-support duo who have battled for nine years, surpassing all other players.

Faker and Keria have been battling together for nine consecutive years

It is believed that most players are quite familiar with T1 team. As a top-tier powerhouse in the LPL region, they have maintained stable popularity and high rankings over the years, shining brightly at the World Finals each season. This season, T1 team underwent roster adjustments again, with core AD player Gumayusi joining HLE team and acquiring young AD player Peyz. During the first stage, their overall coordination and teamwork were quite stable, but by the second stage, T1's rhythm encountered issues, and their current performance is relatively average, with rankings leaning toward the lower end.

With T1 team's home matches officially starting, it is clear that LCK's popularity is steadily recovering, with packed crowds at the venue. Amid the fans' excitement, T1 team announced a thrilling news at their home ground: support player Keria renewed his contract with T1 for three years, essentially dedicating his entire career to T1 team. Honestly, over the past two years of competitions, T1 team's numerous comeback victories largely relied on Keria's outstanding performances. K-Doctor stands out uniquely in the support position, even pioneering many unconventional strategies, including support Camille in the bot lane.

Keria was also deeply moved. He expressed gratitude for sharing this joyful news with fans in such a meaningful setting. He stated, "I still have many dreams and goals to achieve. I always believe that if I continue with T1 and the fans, we can accomplish them together, which is why I chose to keep going. I hope fans will continue to accompany me in the upcoming journey. Thank you all!" While speaking, his eyes were filled with tears, showing that his decision was heartfelt and sincere. He truly wishes to accompany Faker until retirement and achieve the FMVP title.

After this contract renewal, a world-class mid-support duo in League of Legends history has emerged. Faker and Keria will fight together for nine years, a bond likely unique in League of Legends history. K-Doctor has dedicated his entire career to T1 team, and it is hoped that fans will continue supporting him in future matches. Recently, T1 team's rhythm has indeed improved, and their performance is steadily recovering. Could they recreate the classic scenario of last season? However, it seems Peyz hasn't fully integrated into the team yet. He is a strong AD player but struggles to carry as the core late-game damage dealer.

Final thoughts

Who would have thought that Keria would renew his contract with T1 team for another three years? As a top-tier support player, he is undoubtedly highly sought-after in the League of Legends market. Even if he came to the LPL region, he could likely secure a massive contract. This renewal essentially spans his entire career. Unless unexpected circumstances arise, he will likely remain with T1 team until retirement, just like Faker.
