The T1 - Zeus - Doran transfer deal may not be as smooth as many viewers thought when drama broke out overnight.


New details surrounding the T1 - Doran - Zeus transfer case surprised many people


Accordingly, in the early morning of November 20, the Korean League of Legends community in particular and the world in general were shaken when new details surrounding T1's Zeus - Doran transfer had drama. Specifically, Korean media said that T1 was "played badly" by Zeus's representative and was almost unable to recruit a talented Top Lane.

The T1 - Zeus - Doran transfer deal is not as smooth as many people think


According to Naver, T1 has prepared a contract with generous terms for Zeus and the top goal is still to maintain ZOFGK. But this player's representative deliberately did not negotiate definitively. Some negotiations were even conducted only over the phone.


Worth mentioning, T1 has mentally prepared for the possibility of Zeus leaving and the replacement choice will be Kiin. However, Zeus's representative is the same company (only different on paper - according to Naver) with Kiin's representative. This causes T1 to lose options with Kiin when this player has agreed with Gen.G, while negotiations with Zeus are at a deadlock.

Korean media said that T1 was "played badly" and delayed by Zeus's representative, causing them to lose their choice of Kiin.


Naver quoted T1's side: "At 3pm yesterday, they unilaterally announced the case of player Zeus. We had to immediately go to Incheon to handle and even negotiate by phone in the car. But when we arrived At 3:40, they announced that Zeus had completed negotiations with another team. The amount of money as far as we know is the same, only the contract terms are different." T1 also said they arrived in Incheon just a little after 4 o'clock and everything was over.

According to information, when T1 went to meet Zeus directly on November 19, everything was over


It is known that the negotiations of T1 - Zeus encountered difficulties when this player's representative continuously delayed negotiations. The latest offer that T1 made to Zeus was a "1+1 year" contract, with increased remuneration compared to the original offer. However, Zeus's representative is said to have only agreed to a "2+1 year" contract with the newly increased amount of money.


T1 can "counterattack" with representatives of Zeus


The T1 2023 - 2024 brand has brought this team a lot of profits. Zeus himself is also associated with many advertising and sponsorship contracts of T1. Therefore, failure to maintain ZOFGK could be dangerous for this team.

T1's side may consider a plan to sue Zeus's representative


According to Naver, T1 can "counterattack" if this team decides to file a lawsuit. But as for Zeus or his and T1's fans, it turned out that things were not peaceful and the separation probably happened in the least expected way.
