announced they have parted ways with coach
Daeda
, who has been with the organization since February 2024.
The decision, according to Daeda, is one that has been on the cards for a while.
“Going into the T1 project for 2024, I was fairly confident early on that it would be my only season with T1 as rumblings of a domestic focus was planned for 2025,” he said, revealing some insight into what the offseason may look like for T1's roster.
Daeda also announced he is looking for a staff role in a team, whether it be as a coach, analyst or manager.
He also stated that he is “looking to support another project going into next year, regardless of level or region.”
Before joining T1, Daeda worked as a head coach for

The move is one of many in what's been a busy offseason for T1, which began with their failure to qualify for Champions Seoul. Before the beginning of Pacific Stage 2, the organization picked up restricted free agent and long-time DRX player stax , while benching Rossy .
Since then, Sayaplayer has announced his restricted free agency, while Rossy also announced that he is looking for a team.
Rossy announced that while he is a restricted free agent at the moment, the organization will be terminating his contract in the near future.
The team also announced the contract of long-time coach Stunner coming to an end on Sunday, too. Stunner has been LFT since July, following the team's elimination from Pacific Stage 2, and has been looking for a new role since.
