|content=Following their 2024 Worlds victory, [[Companies/T1|T1]] has expanded its coaching staff with Mata, a legendary LCK player and 2014 Worlds champion with Samsung White. Mata, who previously played for T1 between 2018 and 2019, is now joining as a coach.

T1 made the announcement on X on Nov. 21: “Mata has joined T1’s LCK team as a coach. Show your support as he returns as a coach, and we look forward to building up the future together with him” (translated from Korean by X). Mata's addition may be linked to the departure of coach Roach, who is leaving due to mandatory military service.
