The biggest controversy surrounding the South Korean esports team T1 is their decision to field only one player for the League of Legends World Championship in 2020. This decision was heavily criticized by many in the esports community, as it was seen as a blatant disregard for the competitive spirit of the event. Additionally, some felt that T1 was sending a message that they did not believe they could win the tournament with a full roster, which many saw as a lack of faith in their own players.
This controversy was exacerbated by the fact that T1 went on to win the tournament, proving that they were more than capable of winning with a full roster. This led many to believe that T1 had made a mistake in not fielding a full team, and that they had ultimately cost themselves a chance at winning the title.
