T1 Worlds 2024 merchandise sells out in minutes, fans demand for restock

BBG News

As a dedicated gamer and long-time T1 fan, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and frustration as the Worlds 2024 merchandise sells out in record time. The jackets? Gone in just five minutes. The jerseys? Snatched up even before I could hit refresh on my browser. It’s a familiar tale for us T1 fans – we’ve been here before, with MSI and previous Worlds merchandise sellouts.

2024 T1 Worlds Merchandise is currently unavailable online, however, fans can find a way to acquire it in other means.

Without a doubt, T1 is undeniably among the most acclaimed League of Legends (LoL) teams, known for its vast fanbase primarily because of their remarkable four-time World Championship victories. It’s not surprising that their 2024 Worlds merchandise was eagerly sought after, but even still, fans were taken aback by just how swiftly it went out of stock.

As a dedicated gamer, I was thrilled when T1 unveiled their Worlds 2024 collection back on September 14. The collection included one-of-a-kind jerseys, jackets, pants, scarves, and even keychains. But now, it seems like I’m not the only one who was excited about these items because everything is listed as sold out on their official shop website!

Jackets sold out in just 5 minutes

On the wee hours of October 16th, I stumbled upon the link for a new jacket up for grabs at the T1 Shop – and within five short minutes, it was gone! Available in sizes from S to XL, the demand had swiftly depleted this stylish piece, breaking the previous record held by the jerseys that sold out on October 8th earlier in the day.

The jacket, retailing at $152, holds significant value as a collector’s piece, adorned inside with reminiscent images of T1 moments. Moreover, it bears the T1 20th Anniversary emblem, symbolizing a momentous achievement in the group’s history.

It appears that all items from T1’s 2024 Worlds Merchandise line, including the recently launched Uniform Jersey Keychain, have been completely sold out. At this moment, only the DIY Kit remains available, although some fans find it less appealing without the accompanying uniform.

Resellers mark up prices, fans demand restock

Worldwide supporters of T1, the esports team, have overwhelmed T1 Shop’s Instagram posts, pleading for more stock and voicing their annoyance at non-fans buying merchandise in large quantities to resell at inflated prices. Particularly sought-after jackets, particularly those labeled with “Faker,” can be found on Naver, a prominent South Korean online platform, selling for nearly twice the original price, with some even being auctioned off.

As a passionate T1 fan, it’s disheartening to find myself, along with many others, in a familiar predicament – the frustration of limited-edition item scarcity. It seems that the situation surrounding the latest release was not adequately foreseen, much like how it has happened previously during Worlds and MSI merchandise launches.

Currently, at the point of composition, there hasn’t been a response from T1 regarding the demand for more stock by fans. Yet, considering past occurrences, it appears that a new supply might be uncommon given T1’s practice of keeping their limited-edition merchandise exclusive.

Where else to find T1 Worlds 2024 merchandise?
