However, the organization would return to a world championship final in 2022—their first being known as "T1," where they went up against fellow League of Legends Champions Korea representatives DRX.

After having a 2–1 series lead, T1 would lose the next two games, ending in a 2–3 defeat to DRX, whom many consider to have completed a "cinderella run," having qualified for the tournament's main stage through the play-in phase.

[17] Following the defeat, T1 kept the same roster for the 2023 LCK season, finishing as runners-up in both Spring and Summer Splits and making the semifinals of the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational in London.

During the 2023 World Championship, T1 finished their Swiss stage campaign with a 3–1 record, losing only to the LCK's first seed, Gen.G in the 1–0 bracket.

Having qualified for the knockout stage, T1 went through teams from the LPL, winning against LNG Esports in a 3–0 sweep in the quarterfinals, defeating 2023 Mid-Season Invitational champions JD Gaming in the semifinals, 3–1,[18] in a rematch from the 2022 edition, and scoring a 3–0 sweep against Weibo Gaming in the finals to win their record-extending fourth world championship in their sixth finals appearance.

Despite losing their opening series to Gen.G, T1 ended up being one of the top teams during the Spring Split, finishing with a 15–3 win-loss slate.

In the said phase, T1 went 6–1 in games (winning 3–0 against Dplus Kia and 3–1 against Hanwha Life Esports) to advance to the Spring Finals against Gen.G, securing qualification for the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational in the process.

Having qualified for the main stage of the competition, the team secured a nail-biting 3–2 victory over G2 Esports but suffered a 1–3 loss to Bilibili Gaming (BLG) to relegate them to the lower bracket.

Here, T1 would have a 5–5 win-loss slate after the first five weeks but would go on to have a 6–2 record in their last eight games to finish the split, 11–7, placing fourth upon the completing of the regular season.

The squad would win their first playoff best-of-five series against KT Rolster, but suffered another 0–3 loss to Hanwha Life Esports, relegating them to the lower bracket in a similar situation as the previous split.

In the knockout stage, they would avenge their first round defeat to Top Esports with a 3–0 sweep,[25] before beating Gen.G for the first time all year in the semifinals to end their losing streak against them and to book their third consecutive trip to the League of Legends World Championship Final.

Following the 2022 LPL season, the team saw major roster changes, with jungler Peng "Xun" Lixun transferring from Invictus Gaming, ADC Zhao "Elk" Jiahao joining as its new midlaner from Ultra Prime Esports, and support Luo "ON" Wenjun switching teams after his brief stint with Weibo Gaming.

Prior to these changes, toplaner Chen "Bin" Zebin had already joined the team for its 2022 Summer Split campaign, transferring from Royal Never Give Up.

The newly revamped roster would have immediate success in the 2023 Spring Split, as despite finishing the regular season with a 10–6⁠ win-loss slate, the team would go on a deep run in the playoffs, including a victory against 2021 World Champions Edward Gaming (3–0) in the semifinals to make their first-ever domestic final and qualification for the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational.

[30] In the Summer Split, BLG had a dominant 15–1 record to place atop the standings, with their only loss coming against JD Gaming during the third week of competition.

With their record, the team started their playoff run in the fourth round, securing a 3–1 series win against Top Esports to advance to the upper bracket final.

However, they would lose to eventual champions JD Gaming in a 0–3 sweep and suffered a 1–3 defeat to LNG Esports in the lower bracket final.

The team would secure another victory against Fnatic, improving to 2–1 with one series win away from the quarterfinals, but they would lose to eventual champions T1 in the next round.

In Spring, the team finished the regular season with a 15–1⁠ win-loss record and went undefeated in the playoffs, defeating Ninjas in Pyjamas, 3–1⁠, in the fourth round, and secured a 3–2 victory over Top Esports to book their Finals berth and qualification for the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational.

The latter team would beat JD Gaming in the lower bracket finals, setting up a rematch against BLG, who would repeat as victors with a 3–1 win to nab their first LPL championship.

The team commenced the playoffs in the fourth round, much like the Spring Split, and went undefeated on their road to the Summer championship, with victories over Top Esports in the upper bracket finals and Weibo Gaming in both the fourth round and the Final itself to win their second domestic title and the LPL's first seed at the 2024 World Championship.

In the quarterfinals, the team nailed an upset against LCK Summer champions Hanwha Life Esports, 3–1,[36] and secured a 3–0 sweep against 2023 finalists Weibo Gaming to advance to their first League of Legends World Championship Final.

Prior to the commencement of the games, Riot held an opening ceremony featuring performances from musical artists who had collaborated with League of Legends throughout the year.

German singer Tiffany Aris and Mars Atlas of American-based band Forts then followed with a rendition of "Still Here", which was released in conjunction with the start of the game's fourteenth season (the players were first presented to the crowd midway into the song).

In between the song, the Summoner's Cup was unveiled at centre stage, with Mike Shinoda introducing the players from BLG and T1 according to their roles.

The Korean language streams were cast by Chun "Caster Jun" Yong-jun, Lee "CloudTemplar" Hyun-woo, and Jeong "NoFe" No-chul of the League of Legends Champions Korea.

The final was the last to be held under the two-split structure of the League of Legends professional esports scene, with a new three-split format to be applied to all regions and competitive calendar which took effect at the start of the 2025 competitive season, retaining both the Mid-Season Invitational and the World Championship and creating a new international event, "First Stand", which is expected to be the first international event to implement the "Fearless Draft" format.

[41] With Faker having extended his contract until 2025 at the end of the 2022 season,[42] Zeus would be the only player on the roster to switch teams, as he signed with Hanwha Life Esports for the 2025 campaign.

[43] T1 then announced the signing of Choi "Doran" Hyeon-joon as his replacement on 19 November 2024, transferring from the same team Zeus joined,[44] and marking the 2024 Worlds Final the last international series and the regional qualifier against KT Rolster the last domestic series for the "ZOFGK" (Zeus-Oner-Faker-Gumayusi-Keria) era of T1, after debuting the roster during the 2022 season.

[46] The team's substitute jungler Yan "Wei" Yangwei, who appeared in three swiss stage matches for BLG during the 2024 World Championship, became Xun's replacement for the 2025 competitive season, signing on a two-year deal.
