The highly anticipated second season of Netflix’s Squid Game surprised fans with a subtle but noteworthy nod to the esports world. During a fleeting scene in the new season, the logo of T1, the legendary League of Legends team, appears in the background, igniting excitement among eagle-eyed viewers.

In a dimly lit, a neon sign displaying the T1 logo briefly comes into view. Though the cameo lasts only a few seconds, it didn’t go unnoticed by fans of the team, which recently dominated the 2024 League of Legends World Championship. This nod seems to celebrate T1's cultural impact, especially as esports continues to grow in global popularity.

The gaming community quickly picked up on the Easter egg, with posts on platforms like Reddit and Twitter exploding with discussions.

This subtle reference underscores how esports is becoming a part of mainstream media. While the scene doesn’t directly feature the team members, the presence of T1’s logo is a testament to their influence beyond the competitive gaming world.
