T1, the third-ranked VALORANT team in South Korea, has made significant changes to its roster following a disappointing elimination from Group B in the VCT 2023 Champions. More than half of the team has been replaced, with three new players joining the lineup.
| Outgoing Players | Incoming Players |
|---|---|
| Byeon “Munchkin” Sang-beom | Kevin “xccurate” Susanto |
| Joseph “ban” Seungmin Oh | Lee “k1Ng” Seung-won |
| Kang “iNTRO” Seung-gyun | Ham “iZu” Woo-ju |
T1’s decision to overhaul their roster comes after a series of disappointing performances in top-tier events. The team failed to advance beyond the Round of 16 in LOCK//IN São Paulo 2023 and struggled in the Group stages of both Champions and Masters Tokyo earlier this year.
The new additions to T1’s roster include Kevin “xccurate” Susanto, a prominent CS:GO veteran from Indonesia, Lee “k1Ng” Seung-won, a seasoned player from South Korea, and Ham “iZu” Woo-ju, who has been teamless for the past three months.
K1Ng, known for his expertise in playing Killjoy and Cypher, has previously played for Gen.G and DRX. Xccurate, a former CS:GO pro, retired from the scene in 2022 and has now transitioned to VALORANT. iZu, a duelist main, previously played for Jadeite.
T1 hopes that these roster changes will help them improve their performance and achieve better results in future tournaments.
