Asus has teamed up with South Korea’s T1, the League of Legends powerhouse best known for Lee ”Faker” Sang-hyeok, to launch limited-edition GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5070 graphics cards with team-themed styling and bonus giveaway prizes. The T1 Edition cards keep the familiar hardware underneath and dress it up with a campaign that hands out cards and trips to South Korea.
The special models are called T1 Edition. The RTX 5070 comes in a black-and-white finish, while the RTX 5060 Ti uses a red-and-white palette. Asus is not pretending these are radical redesigns; the cooling hardware appears to be borrowed from existing Asus TX Gaming and Asus ATS Megalodon cards, which is exactly the sort of sensible repackaging you’d expect from a limited run aimed at fans rather than frame-time obsessives.
T1 Edition cards reuse existing Asus designs
There’s a small wrinkle that makes the RTX 5060 Ti model more interesting than the badge suggests: it is based on the 8GB version, not the 16GB variant. For League of Legends, that is plenty, and it also underlines what this launch really is – a fan object first, a spec sheet second. Asus has not published full technical details, but the cards are expected to match the standard Asus TX Gaming and Asus ATS Megalodon versions.
What fans get beyond the GPU
The cosmetic treatment is only half the bait. Asus is also bundling magnets and T1-style stickers in the package, then tying the launch to a ”WE ARE T1” campaign that will give away four RTX 5060 Ti T1 Edition cards, four RTX 5070 T1 Edition cards, and 10 two-day trips to South Korea. Asus says it will cover food, hotel stays, and local transport, but not the flight, which is the sort of generous asterisk marketing teams seem to love.
The contest runs from 15 May to 30 June. Asus has kept these special editions largely tied to Mainland China and Taiwan, so the giveaway may end up doing more for global FOMO than for actual availability. Expect more of this from GPU makers: when the underlying product cycle gets repetitive, the easiest way to create buzz is to bolt fandom onto the chassis and call it limited.
