T1 Sets October 3 Opening for Gangnam Base Camp

T1 will soft-open its third Base Camp in Gangnam, Seoul, on October 3. The approximately 1,574-square-metre venue combines a 24-hour PC gaming zone with a Trophy Room, flagship merchandise store and premium dining. Located about two minutes from Sinnonhyeon Station near T1 headquarters, it expands the organization’s offline venue network beyond Hongdae and Busan.

The Gangnam branch is designed as more than a row of gaming computers. T1 calls its concept ‘Capital of Dominion,’ while the wider TBC slogan means ‘To Be Connected.’ The organization expects the venue to support fan visits and future meetings involving players and influencers. That goal explains why competitive history, retail and food occupy substantial space alongside the PC zone.

Gaming areas range from solo seats to an arena

The gaming floor will operate 24 hours and include Focus Rooms, Duo Rooms, Team Boxes and an Arena. Large LED displays can support viewing activity, while trial areas let visitors use different peripherals. An F1 simulation section broadens the venue beyond League of Legends. Standard systems are described with AMD Ryzen 9800X3D processors and RTX 5070-class graphics or better, while selected seats add RTX 5090 graphics and Samsung OLED QHD monitors rated above 500Hz.

Those specifications should not be read as a promise that every station has the most expensive listed components. Reporting distinguishes the broader hardware baseline from selected premium seats. T1 has also not published prices, reservation procedures or complete entry rules in the available announcement, so prospective visitors still need an operational update before planning a session.

Trophies, retail and dining shape the fan space

The new Trophy Room will display handprints, jerseys, an audio zone and other material from T1’s competitive history. A kinetic art installation based on Faker’s signature pose is planned as a first public reveal. These features turn the branch into an archive and brand exhibition rather than treating team history as decoration around the gaming floor.

T1’s headquarters shop is moving into the venue as an expanded flagship store. Fitting rooms will allow merchandise to be tried before purchase, and a Creative Lab is intended to support custom marking. The relocation concentrates the organization’s main retail experience near the new gaming and exhibition areas.

Hide on Bouche adds a separate dining component. The restaurant is overseen by the chef responsible for meals at T1 headquarters and is scheduled to operate from 11:00 AM to midnight. Announced categories include meals, desserts and drinks. Those hours apply to the restaurant, while the PC zone is the part described as operating around the clock.

October 3 is a soft opening, not evidence that every long-term service and event program is already running. T1 said visitor events will accompany the opening, but the available reports do not establish ticket prices, booking requirements or a final daily schedule. Visitors should confirm those details through the venue before travel.

• Soft opening: October 3 in Gangnam, Seoul.
• PC zone: planned to operate 24 hours.
• Main additions: Trophy Room, flagship store and premium dining.
• Location: roughly two minutes from Sinnonhyeon Station.

T1’s Gangnam Base Camp brings gaming, team history, retail and dining into one large venue near its headquarters. The confirmed date is an October 3 soft opening, with the PC zone planned for 24-hour operation. Prices, reservations and complete visitor rules remain important details to verify before attending. The distinction between the venue’s round-the-clock gaming floor and the restaurant’s separate hours will be especially important for late-night visitors.
