T1 Esports Academy is a distinct education asset operated by the T1 esports organization. The public description establishes a specialist esports-education role, but does not disclose enrollment, revenue, capacity or a full curriculum.[1][2]

The September 17 agreement gives that Korean training infrastructure a defined Japan-facing route: localize T1’s development methods for the ZETA DIVISION GAMING ACADEMY curriculum and plan a special intensive course for ZGA students. The announcement is a basic agreement, so its long-term scope and economics remain undisclosed.[2][3]
