T1, one of the most storied organizations in competitive gaming, has parted ways with Lee “Carpe” Jae-hyeok as the player steps away from professional competition.
Carpe, who was born on October 14, 1998, made his name in the Overwatch League playing for the Philadelphia Fusion from 2018 to 2022. He transitioned to T1 in late 2022, bringing years of top-tier FPS experience to the organization’s VALORANT roster.
A pattern of roster optimization
This isn’t T1’s first significant roster adjustment in recent memory. The organization also parted ways with players Sayaplayer and Rossy in 2024, part of what appears to be an ongoing strategy of squad optimization as competitive seasons demand constant adaptation.
T1 operates at the highest tier of competitive gaming globally, historically fielding teams across League of Legends, VALORANT, and other titles.
