I found this T1 roster announcement when they got announced for the first time. Kind of funny looking at the comments now. Where most teams usually buy veterans or cracked players from teams, almost this entire roster minus Keria (He was with DRX for a year) was nurtured by T1 from the start. They didn't get immediate results but they didn't need to. Time speaks. They trusted these four and now they are arguably the best roster that has ever been assembled. Academy rosters when nurtured properly can yield great results.

That being said, their current class is not really looking impressive.

Only PRX and EDG, and I feel like they're the only two examples in the scene
