The news came after T1 flamed out of TI11<\/a> Last Chance Qualifiers\u2014a disappointing result for the SEA squad. Throughout the entire DPC season, T1 tried to find a solution to the team’s poor performance with roster changes.<\/p>
T1\u2019s endless shuffle started right after the team traded 23savage<\/a> for Talon Esports\u2019 Gabbi<\/a>. The roster\u2019s expectations of performing better were still crushed in the following season, however, as they failed to qualify for TI11.<\/p>
Heading into the regional qualifiers for TI11, T1 went for another roster change, switching Gabbi and Karl for Topson and ana<\/a>, two former TI winners. This iteration of T1 was powerful enough to make its way to Singapore but doubts followed them after a slow start to the group stage<\/a>.<\/p>
T1 bounced back for an upper brackets slot<\/a>, but they could only advance to the next round, where they\u2019d be beaten by the ultimate LCQ winners, Secret<\/a>, and Vici Gaming. Missing out on TI11 with high-profile names<\/a> in its roster wasn’t in T1\u2019s plans.<\/p>
