"I am very happy that I will be able to continue playing in front of T1 fans wearing T1's uniform. Skills are important, but I think that if you are a T1 player, your external appearance is also important. I will show you that I have grown both internally and externally."

‘Keria’ Ryu Min-seok once again expressed his joy about signing a three-year extension with T1.

On the 29th, Inven met ‘Keria’ at Jonggak LoL Park. It was right after T1 won the Nongshim Red Force match in the first round of the 2026 LCK regular season. First, he expressed his joy over the 4-game winning streak and then continued talking about this contract extension.

'Keria' expressed his honest thoughts, saying, "I will be working with T1 for three more years, until 2029. Thankfully, we got along well and were able to sign an extension. I am very happy that I will be able to play in T1's uniform in front of T1 fans in the future."

The news of the contract extension was announced in a video at a fan meeting held after the game at home ground, and fans were impressed by the twist that seemed to hint at a breakup. In addition, the fact that he played so well that he dominated POM on his home ground also improved the completeness of the narrative.

'Keria' said with a smile, "I wanted to make an announcement at my home ground, but T1 told me about it first and prepared it before I spoke. At first, I received a concept, but I was a little worried. I was wondering if it would be okay since they said they would give it a twist with 'Thank You'. Still, I'm glad that the response was pretty good."

He added, "Actually, our performance on Saturday was a bit shaky, and BNK Peer

With this contract, ‘Keria’ will continue to accompany T1 for a whopping 9 years. When asked if he thought he would stay with one team for this long, he started by saying, "Even before I became a professional gamer, I thought a lot about wanting to stay with one team for a long time, but I didn't think it would be easy."

This was because I tend to be influenced by the environment a lot, and I thought that if I stayed in one team, I would fall into mannerism and my development would slow down. However, my experience at T1 changed that thinking.

'Keria' explained, "What I felt as I continued to be with T1 was that the direction was flexible and suited me well. I was so comfortable and happy being on the team that my thoughts changed a lot. Since the welfare and fandom were strong, I wanted to repay the team by continuing to leave unforgettable memories. That's why I think I will continue to stay in T1."

In addition, I was able to hear his thoughts on the title of the world's best supporter. He said, "I honestly think it would be a lie to say that the title is not mine. However, if you keep thinking that way, you may become arrogant. Although I think I am the best, I still try to always retain the will to improve."

When asked what more she would like to fill, 'Keria' replied, "Inside the game, I think there is always something to fill in as each patch changes. Outside of the game, I now want to pursue a direction that is more helpful to the team than a direction that is helpful to me, and I think I am doing that recently."

Lastly, 'Keria' concluded the interview by saying hello to the fans, saying, "I have so many happy memories while playing for T1, so I am always grateful to the fans. I will continue to show good performances like now for the next three years. Skills are important, but I think external appearance is also important if you are a T1 player. I will show you that I have grown more internally and externally, so I hope you will continue to support me. Thank you."
