According to the report, brax will replace Sam "DaZeD" Marine, whom T1 has not been practicing with, and was previously reported to be dropped from the roster. The original report also stated that Ha "Sayaplayer" Jeong-woo (하정우) would also be leaving the team, but that point was later corrected to reflect the changing situation. No information regarding Spyder's reason for departure from T1 was provided.
The move would mark brax's second time joining T1, as he was a part of their original Valorant roster before the Valorant closed beta had even been announced in March 2020. He stayed with them through February of this year until he was released alongside Keven "AZK" Larivière. He eventually found his way onto TSM as their sixth player, and had a brief stint with them in Stage 2 Challengers 1.
Another report last month stated that TSM were benching brax and exploring the addition of Sean "bang" Bezerra to their roster, but no changes have been announced yet.
dawn would be the second player to depart from T1 Academy; just two days ago Lee "ANS" Seon-chang (이선창) announced his departure from competitive Valorant to return to competing in Overwatch and the Overwatch League. dawn's departure leaves T1 Academy with three active players: Evan "Eshotz" Rodriguez, Andrew "HILTON" Hilton, and Dylan "ASSERT" Romo.
Should the change be confirmed,
