T1 starting roster and hot take

Izu duelist
Xccurate controller/flex
King sentinel
rossy controller/flex
xeta initiator

I think xccurate and rossy will be starting as controller or flex depending on map and if xccurate ops. Reason ? I feel like Saya player been a weak point in t1 recent games and Carpe was stated before to be 6th man for xccurate.

Hot take: I think this team gets top 2 in Apac. Izu has crack aim fit for duelist and with the backing experience of king as a lurking sentinel, xeta igl, and solid support of rossy and xccurate flex this team is gonna be scary.

ewww get these tier 3 NA bots (rossy and y0y) out of APAC

Rossy is good just wait and see.

Never in my mind to bench player like saya out.

Saya is ur perma duelist
Izu is ur controller
Xeta is ur initiator
Xccurate is ur sentinel + main OP
Rossy is ur flex

Put kingg for xccurate on map that doesn't require OP that much.

why would you bench k1ng when k1ng and izu are literally top fragging and doing so much for t1 since they been on the roster? Look at Saya impact as a duelist lately and you see why I think he's gonna get bench lol. The sample size is small cause off season but he's been mid as a duelist in their game and is one of the reason t1 is not able to sustain a lead. You have a sentinel main in k1ng that's working why replace that.

Because he will show up when real season start. Just like He did on last season. And for the other hand, because They say xccurate gonna be on main roster no matter what,and his agent pool is very minimum and similir with kingg.

That's why the whole add rossy thing is so weird and overcooked. I put kingg as flex before rossy added. Now They added rossy and said that he will be on starting 5 too. Its so confusing.

The thing is, I will never put saya on bench, izu is great on any agents but his duelist never been on big stage yet. Its a gamble. He look comfortable af on controller. Let him cook there. And he put out big numbers too on overwhelming roles. Thats rare.why change it into duelist?

I'm just gonna say you're making a bet on him showing up. His form been mid and has been mid for most of this year. T1 has been a mid team overall with the old roster they definitely need big changes. Rossy and xccurate already confirmed by autumn to be starting i'm filling in the the gaps.
You should watch more T1 games especially Izu the guy is crazy crack if you think that playing well in international off season tournies is not considered a good test/big stage compared to a regional APAC league idk what to tell you. He is literally their top frag mainly every map and It doesn't matter what agent Izu play he will be good. He's already the secondary duelist when t1 runs double duelist comps.

Ofc it isn't a good test. Or good enough test because it an OFF season. I agree with u, he is cracked , the thing is he is cracked on controller. That is rare. U put rossy on controller, he only play viper, u put xccurate on controller, he only play astra and its very RARE that he play astra. U banking all of them on izu to perform good and carry them. That is hard af. Not to mention izu is very clutch, I will personally not put him on entry duelist lol.

I didn't agree 100% with kingg on bench too, its just hard to believe for me that they will put rossy on main roster. Thats confusing af.

K1ng been such a stable for them.

yall are crazy, itll be Saya as duelist, Izu on smokes, K1ng as viper/sentinel, Xeta as Initiator and probably Xcurrate as flex

Xcurrate is the only one where I'm not sure but I vividly remember hearing he was gonna be on the main roster somewhere, but if rossy was to replace someone it'd be him

Autumn tweeted already confirmed that rossy and xccurate will be on starting roster lol. Unless xeta king or izu getting replaced for Saya i don't see it happening. K1ng and izu are the strong point for t1 atm. Xeta is the igl.

maybe they are in rotation with different lineups for different maps, cause he said lineups

nah i don’t like this
why didn’t t1 just keep munchkin? he was arguably their best player last season

k1Ng is the best sentinel in pacific. Munchkin also cause team synergy issue by always arguing with B*n.

T1 did not look good with munchkin man wasn't he the igl and they pivot toward xeta as igl? I think you have to realized that team synergy matters too sometimes players get replaced cause they don't fit with the other players.

nah this shit stinks, no matter who they replace it'll be a bad move, typical T1 L after some real big W's

i have watched k1ng since masters berlin when he played vs ACEND. He is one of the most stable aimers I have ever seen in Korean players and hell he is at least a level above xxcurate. He was even dropping numbers vs LOUD with GENG team that was made up for a short while and had to go through roster change. His viper/cypher/kj is one of the best in Tier 1 scene and i dont see xxc taking his place and IF he does, T1 is done and dusted

did they actually argue a lot or was that just a rumor

it's there in T1 Valorant YT channel documentary on each player, but visibly from Masters Tokyo and Champs, Ban kept making mistakes over and over apologising. Munchkin kept gaslighting and pointing out his mistakes to the point saya had to comfort him.

Coach autumn always known to be the positive vibe guy and he occasionally took ban out of group discussion meeting between games to make sure he didn't took it to heart. Imagine the things that are said not in the video.
