Professional Dota 2 player Forev parts ways with T1

T1 have announced that they will be parting ways with their offlaner, Lee “Forev” Sang-don. Here is their statement:

금일부로 T1 DOTA2에서 활동한 Forev 이상돈 선수와 상호협의하에 계약을 종료하게 되었습니다. 이상돈 선수의 새로운 도전을 응원합니다.

Today we part ways with Forev. We highly appreciate his contribution to the team and wish him all the best.#T1WIN #T1Fighting pic.twitter.com/heiTyjDYvK

What led to this decision?

The decision to part ways with Forev was definitely taken in line with their recent results in the ONE Esports Dota 2 SEA League. T1 placed 7th during the Round Robin stage, which meant that it was not a good result. However they managed to climb back up during the playoffs stage, up until the 3rd round of the lower bracket, where they lost 2-1 to GeekFam. This loss meant that they had achieved a 4th place during the league, which was certainly not a good result for the T1 organization.

Who will be his replacement?

T1 have not hinted anything with regards as to who could be a replacement, however rumor has it that ex-Fnatic Nuengnara “23savage” Teeramahanon will be T1’s newest pickup in the offlane role. We will just have to wait and see for a confirmation from T1, which should be arriving sometime soon!
