📝 T1 Overwatch roster for 2026

T1 have announced their full roster for the 2026 OWCS season. The Korean Partner Team have re-signed the entirety of their remaining 2025 roster and added former ZETA DIVISION support player Kim “Bliss” So-myung to the squad.

This follows the news of Kim “vigilante” Joon and Lee “Viper” Jung-woong leaving the team in January. This iteration of the roster sees T1 directly replacing their main support vigilante with Bliss, however, the team will be relying solely on Hong “Proud” Suk-jin and Kim “ZEST” Hyun-woo for DPS duty, opting to rely less on double-flex compositions that Viper enabled.

Known for his aggressive and risky Lucio style, Bliss is a veteran main support who’s been competing since 2019. He played most of 2024 for Twisted Minds in EMEA and most of 2025 in NA, where he played for Spacestation Gaming. He finished 2nd in OWCS 2025 Stage 1, qualifying for Champions Clash, then a 4th-place finish saw him and the NA side miss out on the Midseason Championship. Bliss then moved to his home region and played for ZETA DIVISION in OWCS Stage 3, finishing once more in 4th place and failing to qualify for the World Finals.

Leading the spearhead are Kim “DONGHAK” Min-sung and Jeong “Jasm1ne” Jong-min on tank duties, where DONGHAK specialises in Wrecking Ball and Winston, while Jasm1ne covers the off-tank options. Behind them stand the continued partnership of Proud and ZEST, the former being a hitscan specialist and ZEST proving himself as one of the world’s deadliest Venture players during the 2025 World Finals. Kim “skewed” Min-seok completes the roster on support next to the new signing, Bliss.

The team has also kept their coaching duo from 2025, Yun “RUSH” Hee-won continuing his duties as head coach and Kim “Fleta” Byung-sun as coach.

T1 are the biggest esports organisation in South Korea, and as such, they’re expected to field a team that will consistently challenge the top. The core of the team, which includes DONGHAK, Proud, skewed, and ZEST, has been playing together since the start of 2025 when T1 announced its return to Overwatch after a two-year hiatus.

The team’s return fell a little flat. During OWCS 2025 Stage 1, they finished in 5th-6th place and failed to qualify for the Champions Clash. The team brought in vigilante for Stage 2, finished 2nd in Korea Stage 2 and 4th in the Midseason Championship. Jasm1ne joined for Stage 3, and helped the team to their 2nd consecutive silver finish and a 5th-6th finish in the 2025 World Finals, ultimately falling to regional rivals, Crazy Raccoon.

With a proven strong core and an experienced coaching staff that have been playing together for over a year, and plugging the hole left by vigilante with Bliss, T1’s ambitions are clear. The team has already proven its capabilities on the international stage and will look to make the final leap to the top in 2026. We will get a sense of T1’s strength during the OWCS Bootcamp, where head coach RUSH and newcomer Bliss will face off against their former team, the Dallas Fuel, on February 13.
