T1 announced the signing of South Korean Byeon “Munchkin” Sang-beom as it continues to overhaul its Valorant roster.
Munchkin, 24, comes to T1 from Crazy Raccoon, the Japanese team he had been serving as the in-game leader for since January 2021 after beginning his Valorant career with Cloud9 Korea. He helped lead Crazy Raccoon to the year-end Valorant Champions, where they were eliminated in the group stage.
