Stax led DRX to a third-place finish at Valorant Champions 2022. He was also part of the Vision Strikers roster that achieved a historic 104-0 game win streak in 2021.

The 24-year-old pro is expected to debut for T1 when the VCT Pacific League Stage 2 competition resumes on June 16, 2024.

T1 has not announced which player stax will replace on its current roster. Known primarily for his role as an initiator throughout his career, stax joins T1, whose previous initiator player was Carpe.

However, this does not necessarily mean stax will replace Carpe, as players often change agent roles after a roster change.
