T1 Peyz Takes On Team Liquid: KeSPA Cup 2025 Groups Revealed
The 2025 KeSPA Cup threw everyone for a loop when they announced that historic LCS organizations Cloud9 and Team Liquid would be joining the tournament. With every team from the LCK in attendance, it was clear the tournament was not going to be an easy test. Now, things just got a whole lot harder for the two LCS squads as the 2025 KeSPA Cup groups have been revealed.
Team Liquid Takes On the New T1 Squad
The offseason started off with a bang when it was announced that Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong was exiting T1 after winning three consecutive Worlds titles with the team. In his stead, the reigning champs brought on former Gen.G ADC Kim "Peyz" Su-hwan.
Now, we'll get to see how Peyz adapts to a team that is so used to winning on the big stage as T1 takes on Team Liquid in Group C of the KeSPA Cup 2025. Both teams will be fielding new players on their rosters, so if you're excited to see the new squads in action, make sure to catch Team Liquid vs T1 on Monday, December 8th, at 2 am PT.
