T1’s Peyz voted Player of the Series against Team Liquid after dominant 3-0 sweep
The 17-year-old AD carry recorded 7 solo kills and his 15th career pentakill as T1 dismantled Team Liquid in the MSI 2026 Play-In stage
Kim “Peyz” Su-hwan just put the entire professional League of Legends scene on notice. Again.
T1’s AD carry was voted Player of the Series after his team’s flawless 3-0 sweep of Team Liquid in the MSI 2026 Play-In stage on July 1, 2026. Across three games, Peyz tallied 7 solo kills and capped the series with his 15th career pentakill in Game 3.
A series that was never really close
Peyz’s pentakill in the final game wasn’t just a highlight reel moment. It was his 15th career pentakill, extending a record he already held. As of May 2026, he had 14 professional pentakills, the most of any player in the competitive scene.
The youngest record-breaker in LCK history
Peyz became the youngest player to win an LCK title at age 17 in 2023. He also earned the Rookie of the Year award. His path to T1 included stints on Gen.G Academy and other Korean squads before he signed with the organization in November 2025. That contract runs through 2028.
What this means for MSI 2026 and beyond
T1’s dominant sweep of Team Liquid sends a clear signal to the rest of the MSI 2026 field. He’s under contract with T1 through 2028, meaning this roster has years to build around one of the most productive young carries the game has ever seen.
