The Private Chef For Korea's #1 Gaming Team

  • T1 is a very well known name in the gaming world. Faker, Keria, Zeus, Oner, and Gumayusi are some of the most famous players in history, and command the popularity of almost K-POP idol-like status. But what fuels these top level players, whose profession requires them to sit for hours on end? What do they eat before competing at LCK Grand Finals?
    Meet Alex Kim, Head Chef of T1. Responsible for not only the T1 League Team, Alex and his two sous chefs, Jun and Jake, supervise the cooking and diet for the entire T1 organization. His cooking repertoire is vast, ranging from Japanese, Korean, Western, to Italian food, painstakingly tailored to the players' diets while maintaining optimal flavor.
    I had the wonderful opportunity to spend a week at the T1 HQ in Gangnam, Korea, where I got to see this culinary wizard in action and capture how things really worked behind the scenes at such a legendary organization.
    Thank you to T1, Josh Ahn, Alex, Jun, Jake, The T1 League team (Faker, Keria, Oner, Zeus, Guma), my translators Jess and Junho, and the lovely T1 staff for welcoming me with such open arms. I had a wonderful time seeing the heart that goes into feeding these players, day after day, and I am now a loyal fan for life.
    T1 Fighting!

      Romans 10:9-13 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

      Romans 5:8-9 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him
      Eph 2:8-9
      For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
      Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.
      All you must do is believe, once you do, you’re saved forever. You don’t earn it. And you can’t lose it. It’s a free gift by faith alone. You’re saved forever
      Heb 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

    @Chris_Tofu หลายเดือนก่อน +1369

    Now that I've finished watching, if I remember correctly, this was recorded at what was T1's 2023 "peak" before Worlds. They came into the 2023 Spring finals having already beaten Gen.G in the winner's bracket semi-finals after an already impressive regular season, but the finals ended up as shown in the video, and then the following Summer season was disastrous. Faker was unable to play for many weeks because of a wrist injury, T1's performances collapsed without him, and they were at real risk of not even making playoffs.
    It's warming to know more about the chefs who (alongside the other staff) were there for the players through the Summer season to help T1 back up through their stuggles, rally to reach playoffs, manage to place second regionally once again, and then were even able to fully support them during T1's home World Championships-with T1 becoming Korea's last hope from their quarter-finals match onwards as they romped on to become world champions once more. Not only did they erase the demons from the previous year's World Championship finals loss to DRX, but this victory also made them decide to stick together, as coming into the 2023 World Championships they had considered parting ways after spending many years together as a five.
    I can't imagine how overjoyed the head chef was after all of that.

  • @christiantoum
    @christiantoum หลายเดือนก่อน +477

    Kudos to capturing the vulnerable moment after the 2023 LCK Spring finals loss. It would be easy to film after a win when everyone is in high spirits but it takes a gentle soul to want to go ahead and capture the feelings of sadness after a loss where most YT creators would probably feel awkward filming. After all, not everyday is going to be rainbow and sunshines.
    This + the insane societal pressure/work ethnic of Asian culture. From the players to the chefs. I think I remember news about upset fans sending literal trucks to T1 HQ after a loss or something.
    Also here before this video blows up Alvin ❤

    • @Arthrexx
      @Arthrexx หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      The trucks were because LS got hired by T1 and the Koreans hate his guts for his strange, but sometimes correct, takes. Like that neither players nor coach really understand the drafting phase, which often leads to suboptimal picks and bans. Which is certainly true.
