T1 ersattes av QO som analytiker
Maksym ShylovEsports organization T1 announced on social media that Dota 2 roster analyst Kim 'QO' Sun Yeob is leaving the ranks of the team. The 28-year-old specialist will replace Kartik 'Kitrak' Rathi.
The team from Southeast Asia thanked the former analyst for the work done and wished him good luck in future endeavors. QO has been with T1 for almost 9 months, he joined the club on January 14 this year.
During this time, T1 managed to show good results at the regional level. The team took 3rd place at DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division I, won silver at DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Regional Final. Whitemon and his teammates repeated the result in the second part of the season and went to ESL One Stockholm 2022, the first Major this year. There the team did not perform very well, stopping at 9-12th place. Arlington T1 Major missed out due to 5th place at DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I.
Kitrak's last job was the Forward Gaming team. The biggest achievements with this club in 2019 were the victory at the Qi Invitational Americas, which brought the organization $7,000, and the 5th-6th place at the OGA Dota PIT Minor 2019. Such rearrangements were made in order to successfully pass The International 2022: Southeast Asia Qualifier. The organization has previously signed former OG players and two-time world champions, Topson and ana.
The composition of T1 is presented below:
- ana
- Topson
