What is ZOFGK? Is ZOFGK the Strongest Team in T1’s History?
Nov
During the transfer window ahead of the 2025 season, T1 made headlines by parting ways with their top laner Zeus, marking the collapse of the once-renowned ZOFGK dynasty.
Fans expressed deep regret as ZOFGK has been considered one of the most stable and outstanding lineups in T1’s history.
However, what exactly is ZOFGK? Let’s explore the legendary roster of the reigning world champions as provided by The Sporting News.
What is ZOFGK?
“ZOFGK” is an unofficial nickname coined by fans to refer to T1’s roster from 2022 to 2024. The term is an acronym for the players’ names: Zeus, Oner, Faker, Gumayusi, and Keria.
This roster competed together starting in the 2022 season and became the longest-standing lineup in the history of professional League of Legends (LoL). Over three years, ZOFGK achieved remarkable success:
- Three World Championship (Worlds) appearances, securing victories in 2023 and 2024, making them the first team in LoL history—and T1’s history—to successfully defend the Worlds title.
- Victory in the 2022 LCK Spring Split.
- Winning the Esports World Cup 2024, the first edition of the tournament.
Is ZOFGK the Strongest Team in T1’s History?
ZOFGK was known not only for their exceptional individual skills but also for their flexible strategies, excellent game control, and strong team spirit. Thus, ZOFGK is undeniably one of the greatest teams in T1’s history.
However, determining whether they are the strongest lineup of all time requires considering multiple factors. T1 has had other legendary rosters that dominated the competitive LoL scene, particularly during the golden era of 2013-2017. These included iconic lineups such as:
- 2013-2015 Roster:
- Impact, Bengi, Faker, Piglet, PoohManDu.
- This lineup propelled T1 (then SK Telecom T1) to global stardom, winning the 2013 World Championship and establishing T1 as a dominant force.
- 2015-2017 Roster:
- Duke, Bengi, Faker, Bang, Wolf.
- This team made history by clinching back-to-back Worlds titles in 2015 and 2016, extending T1’s reign on the global stage.
Although these earlier lineups had shorter tenures compared to ZOFGK, they achieved great success and initiated T1’s era of dominance.
