A T1A source confirmed to VLR that the move is on a permanent basis.

DH joined the T1 Academy ranks this past offseason, joining from Japanese Challengers side CREST GAMING Zst CREST GAMING Zst Japan Rank #11 bazz KEN Jan Shin Dong-yeop (신동엽) Anthem Yoshitaka Enomoto yutaro . He joined Crest in 2024 shortly after making his professional debut with REIGNITE REIGNITE Japan Rank #17 . He was a Duelist player during his brief stint with REIGNITE, but upon joining Crest, took up the Sentinel and Controller roles, too. Playing alongside current DRX DRX Korea Rank #2 MaKo Kim Myeong-gwan (김명관) free1ng No Ha-jun (노하준) HYUNMIN Song Hyun-min (송현민) Estrella Park Gun (박건) BeYN Kang Ha-bin (강하빈) Duelist HYUNMIN , he helped Crest to a 5th-6th finish in Challengers League 2024 Japan: Split 2. With T1 Academy, he played as the team's Sentinel and secondary Controller while current ZETA DIVISION ZETA DIVISION Japan Rank #4 TenTen Kim Tae-young (김태영) SugarZ3ro Shota Watanabe CLZ Hikaru Mizutani Xdll Yuto Mizomori player TenTen was the team's main Duelist.

T1 Academy finished third in Stage 1 of WDG Challengers League Korea, with DH playing some maps as a Duelist in double Duelist comps towards the end of the team's tournament run. When TenTen left for ZETA, T1A added a new Duelist player in Pkm , but still had DH complementing him as a Yoru in multiple comps. Among players to play more than 100 rounds, DH finished with the stage's second-highest rating and third-highest ACS.

DH joins a T1 roster with a lot of roster flexibility. While BuZz has been the team's main Duelist for most of the year, iZu and Meteor have also flexed to play the team's Duelist role. DH's experience on Sentinel overlaps the most with Meteor, who has played a lot of Killjoy, Vyse, Iso, and Reyna in Stage 1. Towards the end of its Stage 1 run, T1 appeared to run into some complications with roles, with Meteor shifting onto Tejo, a role that iZu played more frequently earlier in the year.

carpe , who was benched this year, is expected to continue as the team's substitute, while T1 continues with a new six-man roster including DH.
