The inevitable has come to pass, with T1 officially confirming its Dota 2 <\/em>roster has disbanded following the conclusion of The International 2022 and ahead of a potential exit from the competitive scene.\u00a0<\/p>
It took just under a month for the decision to be made public following the departure of head coach march and captain Kuku on Oct. 24\u2014with the latter\u2019s contract expiring. <\/p>
This was almost a given considering Kuku\u2019s departure and his former Geek Fam teammates Whitemon and Xepher also announcing that their contracts had expired with the organization. The door was still open for renegotiation, but it appears after weighing its options, management within T1 has decided to pull the plug on the core that led it to its first success in Dota<\/em>.<\/p>
Along with the ex-Geek Fam trio, this means ana is back on the free-agent market again after a short stint with the team. His play over the two-month period with T1 was not exactly up to the two-time TI champion standard<\/a> some fans expected to see. Still, he is now free to explore additional opportunities if he wants to continue competing.\u00a0<\/p>

Unfortunately, a slow season in a relatively underpowered region forced the team to shake things up and it didn\u2019t pan out. Missing out on TI11 was just too much of a loss and now the org is potentially looking to move on from the game, as sources have noted Bleed eSports may be acquiring T1\u2019s slot in SEA\u2019s Division I<\/a> for the upcoming DPC season. <\/p>
As of now, T1 has not made any comments on the future of its Dota <\/em>division, but we know that Bleed has started scouting for a roster<\/a> and there is barely a month before the open qualifiers for the next season begin.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
