Report: T1 exploring removal of DaZed

Hudsen

June 1, 2021

UPDATE: George Geddes has reported that Spyder is staying on the T1 roster. DaZed is still reported to be leaving the team. This article has been updated to reflect the clarification.

In a report by George Geddes of Upcomer, T1 T1 Korea Rank #3 stax Kim Gu-taek (김구택) Meteor Kim Tae-O (김태오) Sylvan Ko Young-sub (고영섭) BuZz Yu Byung-chul (유병철) iZu Ham Woo-ju (함우주) are reportedly set to split with Sam "DaZeD" Marine.

@GeorgeCGed

Sources: T1 is set to undergo further changes to its VALORANT roster.

In-game leader DaZed has been dropped from the roster, according to several sources.

The move follows a joint last place finish at the VCT S2 C2 event in April.

Read via @Upcomer: upcomer.com/sources-t1-val…

These changes come after the team made top 8 appearances in the Stage 1 Challengers 3 and Stage 2 Challengers 2 North America main events respectively. The team has not appeared in any tournaments since then.

The last time the team made a roster change was when they welcomed Lee "ANS" Seon-chang (이선창) to the team as their sixth player. He was eventually moved to T1's academy team alongside dawn , Eshotz , ASSERT , and HILTON in April.

A potential replacement for DaZed has not been named.

Should the roster move be confirmed, the roster of T1 T1 Korea Rank #3 stax Kim Gu-taek (김구택) Meteor Kim Tae-O (김태오) Sylvan Ko Young-sub (고영섭) BuZz Yu Byung-chul (유병철) iZu Ham Woo-ju (함우주) will be:

Tyler "Skadoodle" Latham
Timothy "autimatic" Ta
Rahul "curry" Nemani
Ha "Spyder" Jeong-woo (하정우)
David "dd8" Denis (Head Coach)
Cody "Stunner" MacLeod (Assistant Coach)

I'm gonna try to explain it, don't quote me on anything I could be wrong in some parts. Basically in the early stages, Spyder had problems with Ska and Dazed. They were being critical of how he played certain rounds while vod reviewing and spyder being a nice Korean person he didn't fully understand if they were bullying him or no, so he wanted to go back home a few times. Now everything has been solved and fixed between them, they are all cool with each other but their ex-coach Fraud tried to make a drama out of it I guess and that took off kinda.

( I could be misunderstanding or wrong in some places, so pardon me)

He was in T1 then he and azk got replaced by auti and curry. Signed by TSM, didnt get that much of chance, but wasnt really performing when the chance was given . So now he is benched and replaced by Bang.

Not surprised at all, Dazed has been known to be sort of a difficult personality since at least the tail end of his CS career.

As a T1 fan, this was for the best. DaZed did have his moments, no doubt about it, but he was always bringing the team down. His CSGO approach made T1 a very confusing team and they've underperformed when they shouldn't have.

I was watching the t1 comms videos from a few months ago, it really felt like curry was the only one putting effort into team play, Dazed didnt make any meaningful impact/comms as igl
t1 either has to work around spyder and curry (maybe auti too) or they can 100% find better teams

One thing T1 could do is -tim -dazed, keep spyder (if u can), curry, and ska (since he plays astra decently), and +ANS if he's ready for the main roster and maybe +b0i

The dude just switched to Valorant. I guarantee he'll adapt and be insane, on Spyder's level.

Personally if I managed T1, my roster would currently look like:

Spyder
curry
ANS

I would have kept Brax and AZK, but since they're gone and likely won't be back, I'd be looking into Jammyz, Sinatraa, and Dicey.

T1's management wanting instant gratification is why this team will never be good.
-food -crashies
+spyder +DaZed
-frod +dd8
-brax -azk
+autimatic + curry
-dazed

All within one year. I dont think any roster has undergone through this many roster changes.

This team is FUCKED; I dont see anyone on the team stepping up and making legitimate strats especially not their psychotherapist coach. And i bet part of the reason skadoodle has done well is from dazed micromanaging where astra utility went.

Yeah,, I think they performed really good in early Val period and put a lot of expectation on them. As they werent able to perform to the standard they set before, so the management committee trying to find their early glory by replacing players. Though i thnk TSM give a lot of time to their roster.
