T1 names Tom interim head coach as kkOma moves to inactive status
TL;DR
Tom joins T1 as Interim Head Coach. kkOma: T1 Head Coach [Coach]
T1 promoted Tom from coach to interim head coach on March 22, while kkOma, the club's head coach, was moved to inactive status.
The change is internal, not a transfer. Tom will assume head coach responsibilities in an interim capacity, taking over daily coaching and strategic duties previously held by kkOma. The club listed the status change without detailing the length of Toms interim term or the reasons behind kkOmas inactivation.
For T1, the staff shuffle hands leadership to a coach already inside the system, which should limit disruption to practice routines and in-game preparation. Toms promotion signals trust in the existing coaching pipeline, and it puts the onus on him to steady the team during the transition.
kkOmas move to inactive removes him from day to day operations. The announcement did not specify whether this is a temporary leave or a longer break. Until the club clarifies kkOmas status, T1 will operate under Toms interim direction.
On the international side, Bilibili Gaming appeared on lists for First Stand 2026 alongside G2 Esports. That entry was noted without accompanying roster details. No player signings or departures were announced for Bilibili Gaming in this update.
T1 fans will watch for an official timeline on kkOmas return or a permanent appointment, and for how Toms approach reshapes T1s in-game style while he holds the interim title.
