After a tumultuous 2021, T1 were making noise ahead of VCT 2022 when they bolstered the roster with the likes of former 100 Thieves 100 Thieves North America Rank #8 zander Alexander Dituri Cryocells Matthew Panganiban eeiu Daniel Vucenovic Boostio Kelden Pupello Asuna Peter Mazuryk IGL Joshua "steel" Nissan, former XSET member Zander "thwifo" Kim, and up-and-comer pwny. Despite such additions, the roster got off to a rough start after forfeiting the first open qualifier of Stage 1 due to the use of unauthorized communication, and were subsequently eliminated in the second open qualifier. T1 failed to qualify for Stage 2: Challengers after being eliminated by NYFU NYFU Inactive oderus Chad Miller YaBoiDre Diondre Bond ShoT_UP Andrew Orlowski neptune Jason Tran JSUNG Jason Sung and VIRTUOSO VIRTUOSO Inactive King Aiden King Eley Zach Stauffer DBK Dylan Bazic-Kulangiev Blahst Nathan Brand snxper Louis Lama in the open qualifiers.

As a result, T1 went through a slew of changes. Johann "seven" Hernandez departed the roster and joined TSM TSM North America Rank #5 Recoil seven Johann Hernandez gMd Anthony Guimond vora sym Tyler Porter ahead of Stage 2; Rahul "curry" Nemani was traded to Cloud9 Cloud9 North America Rank #7 Xeppaa Erick Bach v1c Victor Truong mitch Mitch Semago neT Michael Bernet OXY Francis Hoang in exchange for Son "xeta" Seon-ho (손선호) and coach Yoon "Autumn" Eu-teum (윤으뜸), and T1 head coach David "dd8" Denis left the team. Up until this point, T1's last move was signing former Crazy Raccoon Crazy Raccoon Inactive star Byeon "Munchkin" Sang-beom (변상범).

ban joins from Knights, a team that competed in Stage 1: Challengers group stage after defeating Soniqs Soniqs Inactive in the open qualifiers. Knights qualified for Challengers playoffs after going 2-3, coming in as the Group B fourth seed, but the run was short-lived as they were eliminated by XSET XSET Inactive . After losing to 100 Thieves in the first open qualifier, the roster failed to replicate its success for Stage 2: Challengers, as they were one match shy from victory against Ghost Gaming Ghost Gaming Inactive koalanoob Gianfranco Potestio NiSMO Marc-Andre Tayar aproto Alex Protopapas brawk Brock Somerhalder johnqt Mohamed Amine Ouarid . Since then, Knights have been competing in the tier two scene, where they recently won NSG Summer Champs - Open 12.
