Ably announced on August 13 that the T1 League of Legends pro team will be transforming into 'one-day rookies' for a new variety show, set to premiere on August 20 at 6 PM. The content will be broadcast via Ably’s official YouTube channel, promising fans a glimpse of the T1 roster in a surprisingly corporate light.

This content is titled 'Was I T1 and Now a Rookie at Ably?'. The show follows five T1 members—Doran, Oner, Faker, Peyz, and Keria—as they report to the Ably Corporation headquarters for a day of entry-level office life. Expect to see the players sporting staff ID cards and navigating the workplace, offering a stark contrast to their usual intensity on the Rift.

Ahead of the main event, a teaser was dropped at noon on August 13 across Ably’s official YouTube and Instagram channels, showcasing the T1 squad’s first day on the job and effectively cranking up the anticipation for the full release.

T1 and Ably Corporation previously signed an official sponsorship deal in November 2025, and as a lead partner, Ably continues to weave various collaborative efforts into their partnership.

An Ably official commented, "This content captures the unique charms of the T1 squad away from the esports arena and their experiences as rookie employees," adding, "We look forward to the positive synergy Ably and T1 will continue to build together."
