T1 defeated Gen.G Esports 3-1 on Saturday, earning about $165,000 and becoming the first team to clinch a spot in the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational.
The other members of the team and staff tested negative and T1 said “we will make sure they are safe.”
“Additionally, we will make sure that the T1’s HQ and facilities are thoroughly disinfected,” T1 wrote. “Once again, we apologize for causing any concerns amongst our fans and will do our best to ensure a speedy recovery for the team. We ask for your endless support during this time.”
