Reader's Guide
T1 has secured the LCK Spring Grand Final Banner numerous times, establishing themselves as the most decorated franchise in the tournament's history. Their victories span multiple eras, from their early dominance to their modern resurgence. In several key years, T1 defeated formidable rivals like Gen.G and DAMWON Gaming (now Dplus KIA) in intense best-of-five series.

Each victory awarded the team the official championship trophy and a massive cash prize, but more importantly, it secured their spot as Korea's primary representative at the international Mid-Season Invitational.
