T1 parts ways with Canna following contract dispute
After a tumultuous few weeks, T1 and Kim “Canna” Chang-dong have gone their separate ways, ending a short-lived contract dispute between the League of Legends team and the player.
The top laner, who occupied a starting role throughout the better part of the year, had signed a two-year contract with T1 in 2020 and was due to re-negotiate his salary leading into the next season.
A verbal agreement between Canna and the former COO of T1, John Kim, who died on July 16, had promised that if both parties failed to come to an agreement regarding salary, the player would be released from the team as a free agent.
