Esports organisation T1 entered a new competitive arena yesterday, March 11, picking up a Rainbow Six Siege team for the very first time. The all-South Korean roster, which formerly played under the banner of OhHamMa, was signed up to represent T1 in the APAC League North Division, of which the first stage kicks off next week.
However, T1 has already suffered a major setback after announcing the departure of one of its new Siege players just a day after signing them. Kim 'Demic' Daeyeong is no longer with the team after his contract was terminated, according to the organisation. This announcement comes just 31 hours after T1 revealed its Siege roster.
With just a week to go until Stage 1 of the APAC League North kicks off, T1 now finds itself in a tricky spot. Due to Ubisoft's tournament rules, each team must have a minimum of two players on a roster that qualified for or played in the same tier that the team is currently competing in. With Demic departing, T1 now only has one player that fits that ruling, so must pick up another player that has played at the top regional level.
