T1 Adds VALORANT Star TenZ to 2027 Roster

T1 has added Tyson “TenZ” Ngo to its VALORANT roster for 2027, bringing the former professional player back to competition after a two-year retirement. T1 is scheduled to play at VCT Kickoff 2027, which begins Jan. 14, 2027.

TenZ became one of VALORANT’s most recognized players before retiring and focusing on content creation. He joins an international T1 roster led by Austin “crashies” Roberts.

T1 has retained its Korean core of Yu “BuZz” Bung-chul, Kim “stax” Gu-taek and Ham “iZu” Woo-joo. The announced five-player lineup consists of BuZz, stax, iZu, crashies and TenZ.

Gustavo “Sacy” Rossi is also reportedly connected to T1’s 2027 project, but he is not part of the announced lineup. Sacy and TenZ previously played on the team that won Masters Madrid.
