Skadoodle, current professional VALORANT player for T1 has released a statement saying that he will be stepping down from the main VALORANT roster and will not be competing with them for the Pop Flash event. Here is his statement:
Skadoodle stepping down – What led to this?
T1’s VALORANT team hasn’t seen much success lately, as the team has been going through some very troubling issues with agent roles. Here are some of their recent results.
- 9th-12th in Pittsburgh Knights Invitational Gauntlet Series – 16th August 2020 – $0
- 7th/8th in FaZe Clan Invitational – 9th August 2020 – $0
- 5th-8th in PAX Arena Invitational – 24th July 2020 – $1,000
- 2nd in T1 x Nerd Street Gamers Showdown – 28th June 2020 – $15,000
As you can see from the list above, T1 were definitely one of the top teams when VALORANT launched, so what happened? We will never know until T1 releases a statement from their side, clarifying exactly what is going on with their VALORANT roster.
A few moments later, Skadoodle also attached a sub-tweet stating the following:
I have been grinding to expand my agent pool and overall impact with the OP and will be back with T1 when the time is right, but in the meantime am going to be practicing with other teams to stay sharp. I'll be back soon and better than ever

What does this mean for T1 VALORANT?
When T1 were starting to announce their VALORANT roster, everyone hyped it up, as it was one of the most talented rosters in North America, however their recent performances have shown otherwise. T1 will most probably be bringing in some fresh blood within the scene to help them get some better results until Skadoodle is up and ready again.
