Kim '@gabbidoto' Santos will be joining the DOTA 2 team as the stand-in for the upcoming Regional Finals as Nuengnara '23savage' Teeramahanon is moved to the inactive roster.

This move confirms the longstanding suspicion that Gabbi was T1-bound following his departure from Talon. However, there has also been speculation that two-time The International winner Anathan “ana” Pham was joining the T1. This was further fueled by Carlo “Kuku” Palad when he teased fans multiple times during his live stream.
For now, T1 has yet to officially address the ana rumors so members of the community have gone on to assume that they are still in the process of trialing both of these players.
Meanwhile, 23savage was loaned to Motivate.Trust Gaming for the upcoming BTS Pro Series 10: Southeast Asia.
