Taipei, May 15, 2026: ASUS has officially unveiled a new collaboration with T1, built around two special editions branded "WE ARE T1": the T1 GeForce RTX 5070 and 5060 Ti OC.
A partnership built over the long haul
ASUS ROG has been T1's hardware partner since 2017. At the time, Derek Yu, ROG's Global Marketing Director, was already describing the team as "the most dominating team the esports arena has ever seen." Nearly a decade later, the partnership shifts up a gear with a dedicated series, capitalizing on T1's historic three-peat at Worlds 2025.
Two collector's items
On the design front, ASUS leans fully into T1's identity. The RTX 5070 embraces the organization's understated codes with a black-and-white palette accented by T1's signature red. The RTX 5060 Ti pushes things further with a bolder red-and-white scheme, channeling the team's jersey aesthetic.
The real selling point for fans plays out on the backplate: stylized portraits and signatures of the five-man starting roster, paired with themed stickers and a magnet in the bundle, plus an exclusive T1 skin for ASUS's proprietary GPU Tweak III software.
This isn't a new product, though: the two cards are in fact rebrands of existing regional models, two series sold until now exclusively in China and Taiwan. We're talking here about a collector's item for fans of the organization, rather than a product designed for raw performance.
The statements
Josh Ahn, COO of T1, accompanied the announcement with the following:
"We have joined forces with industry leader ASUS to fuse elite competitive spirit with cutting-edge performance."
ASUS, for its part, presents the operation as a "milestone for esports culture" and emphasizes the collector dimension of the product.
