T1’s Roster Shuffle and Trade with Cloud9
The signing of Munchkin comes as part of a larger roster shuffle for T1, as they strive to qualify for major events in VCT 2022. Just over a week ago, T1 made headlines by signing Xeta and Autumn. This move also reunites Xeta and Munchkin, who were former teammates on the disbanded C9 Korea roster. The trade with Cloud9, which involved T1 giving up Rahul “curry” Nemani, was first reported by .
The Future of T1’s Roster
While T1 has let go of several members who failed to qualify for VCT Challengers main events, it remains to be seen how many of the old roster T1 will keep for the next year. T1 CEO Joe Marsh indicated that the team wants to remain in North America, which could be good news for the players still signed with T1.
Munchkin’s Role in T1’s Roster
Munchkin is known for his aggressive duelist playstyle and will likely fill the void left by seven as the team’s regular Jett player. However, he is also versatile and can play other roles, adding flexibility to T1’s roster as it continues to take shape.
