As I reported yesterday, Seven has joined T1's Valorant roster. I would expect Pwny to be announced soon as well.

The roster will go as such:
Seven - Jett/Duelist
Curry - Flex
Steel - Sova
Thwifo - Sentinel
Pwny - Smokes
nikoya [#2]Why pwny on smokes? He's not a bad player by any means, but there are other options such as YaBoiDre.
(also thank you for the report)
I have seen people say they should have signed YaBoiDre or WeDid but that would require T1 to complete a buyout with LG or KCP. It was much easier for them to just sign Pwny straight up. He was open to the switch to smokes and they were impressed with him in scrims. It was just a good fit for both sides.

I thought pwny played some sova. I’m surprised steel is going to sova when he would be a great chamber.
wowzerswow [#5]also if you know - what changed between T1 and 100T that allowed this deal to happen, reports were saying it fell through
From what I've heard there were issues in the buyout negotiations, which they resolved obviously.
