The SEA Dota 2 scene has all the time been enjoyable to observe as a result of it is stuffed with surprises. Although this area is but to win TI, there have been a few groups through the years that had been among the many greatest on the planet. 

Talking of one of the best, some Dota 2 followers anticipated T1 to turn into of the main names within the area. The legendary League of Legend group ventured into the Dota 2 scene and acquired among the greatest gamers within the area.

Following the disappointing efficiency, Karl and Gabbi are now not part of T1. This choice is unusual, to say the least, contemplating the truth that the TI 11 qualifiers in SEA are simply across the nook.

Gabbi grew to become part of the brand new roster previous to the beginning of this 12 months’s DPC when he took the place of Nuengnara “23savage” Teeramahanon. As for Karl, the favored participant was part of the staff for round 2 years.

Although these two gamers have confirmed themselves quite a few instances, T1 solely has round 273 DPC factors, which isn't sufficient to safe an invite for TI. As anticipated, the staff needs to do every part in its energy to attend the occasion, and it looks like all of it begins with a roster change.

Since T1 introduced these gamers’ departure a few hours in the past, we don’t know what’s subsequent for them. Nevertheless, as a result of they're well-known within the business, it's in all probability only a matter of time earlier than we see them on one other roster.

The staff

Following the modifications and Gabbi and Karl’s departure, T1’s roster seems like this:

• Carlo “Kuku” Palad
• Kenny “ Xepher” Deo
• Matthew “Whitemon” Filemon
• Park “March” Tae-won (the coach)

March has all the time been one of many well-liked gamers on this a part of the world, so we wouldn’t be stunned if he decides to compete but once more. Nevertheless, because of this T1 must seek for a brand new coach.

What’s fascinating is that there are a great deal of top-tier Dota 2 gamers accessible proper now, so T1 has loads of choices to select from. The staff may resolve to do one thing just like OG and get younger and gifted gamers. Nevertheless, we'd additionally see among the hottest names, equivalent to Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen and Anatan “ana” Pham.

Ana has taken half in a few occasions already, together with the PGL Arlington Main 2022. Topson, however, introduced that he needs to get again in skilled Dota and compete but once more. 

The qualifiers for TI ought to begin round September, so we've a couple of extra weeks to see what is going to occur. Who is aware of, T1 may turn into the most effective groups in Southeast Asia.
