T1 announced today that support player Ryu “Keria” Min-seok has signed a three-year contract extension, keeping him with the organization through 2029. This announcement came as a surprise at a home-ground event at Inspire Arena in Incheon, South Korea, for the fans, securing one of League of Legends‘ most decorated support players in esports history.
“I’m very grateful that I can share this happy news with the fans in such a meaningful setting. I still have many dreams and goals left. I decided to continue because I believed that, together with T1 and together with the fans, I could achieve them. I’d be grateful if the fans continue to be with me on the journey ahead,” said Keria, thanking the fans for their support.
The announcement ensures one of the most mechanically gifted support players in League esports will continue his journey in T1 colors for years to come.
Keria has become one of the defining faces of T1’s modern era, earning praise for his elite laning, sharp map awareness, and ability to pilot a wide range of champions at the highest level. In a game where midlaners and ADCs earn praise for their flashy plays, Keria has made support from a low-impact role to something that defines the outcomes of the teamfights.
The veteran support’s re-signing through 2029 is massive news for T1, especially when paired with Faker also being signed through 2029 and Oner locked in until 2028. That means T1’s three-man core could realistically stay together for seven to eight years.
He has delivered countless highlight moments, but one of his most iconic came at Worlds 2025 with the defining 200 IQ Wolf play. The moment showcased everything that makes Keria special: elite game sense, perfect timing, and the confidence to make a split-second call under the brightest pressure.
Since joining the team in 2020, he has played a central role in the team’s domestic and international success, helping the organization win multiple titles, especially the recent three-peat at Worlds.
The long-term renewal is also a major statement of intent from T1 and a huge sigh of relief for fans, who have watched established pieces like Zeus and Gumayusi depart from what once looked like a settled T1 squad in recent times. For fans, this means more years of Keria’s highlight-reel engages, creative picks, and clutch performances on the biggest stages.
