Test MID1

Sungbum Kwon, known in competition as Test MID1, is a South Korean mid laner who developed within the T1 Rookies environment, the trainee structure connected to one of the most decorated organizations in League of Legends history. As a mid laner, he occupied the position that traditionally sits at the creative and mechanical heart of a team.

The Mid Lane’s Central Role

Mid lane is where games are often shaped. Positioned in the middle of the map, the mid laner has the shortest routes to both side lanes and to the jungle, making the role a hub for roaming, coordinating ganks, and controlling the flow of the game. Mid players are typically expected to combine high individual skill with strong macro awareness, whether they favor aggressive playmakers, precise poke mages, or scaling carries. It is a position that demands both moment-to-moment mechanical excellence and a broad understanding of tempo and map priority.

Growing Within T1’s Structure

Training as part of T1 Rookies means learning the game inside an organization synonymous with excellence in the mid lane and beyond. T1’s developmental pipeline is famous for its rigor, and a rookie mid laner there would be measured against the exacting standards that have made the region and the organization dominant forces. The emphasis at this level is on refinement, consistency in practice, and the steady accumulation of the habits that separate elite Korean players from the wider talent pool.

Test MID1 is now retired, and his professional identity is rooted in this trainee chapter rather than an extended run on major stages. Concrete competitive achievements are not part of his documented profile, and it would be inaccurate to attribute specific results to him beyond his role and affiliation.

His story nonetheless holds meaning within the larger picture of the sport. South Korea’s continued dominance is built on deep development systems like the one that shaped him, and every prospect who trains within a top academy contributes to the environment that produces world champions. As a mid laner in the T1 Rookies fold, Sungbum Kwon was part of that foundation.
