T1 seems to have learned a very valuable lesson after the Zeus incident.

T1 has a decisive move with coach Tom

In recent days, the transfer scandal surrounding Zeus and Doran is receiving a lot of attention from the community. Accordingly, some sources believe that Zeus's representative company "played badly" and prevented this player from re-signing with T1. And as a way to regain fans' trust, T1's homepage recently confirmed that coach Tom will continue to work with the team after re-signing the contract.

Furthermore, Tom's new contract with T1 will be for a very long time with the goal of continuing to conquer the title in the future. This is like an affirmation of T1's strength in the transfer market as they completely have enough strength to retain their heroes. Furthermore, retaining coach Tom also shows that T1 also has many ambitions in the new season in conquering titles.

T1 almost lost coach Tom to HLE

It is important to know that right before announcing the contract with coach Tom, many T1 fans had to face "bad news". Accordingly, some sources at the FmKorea forum have revealed that HLE really wants to own this coach and is willing to offer extremely "huge" compensation. Even the number given by HLE can be up to 1 billion won/year (about 17 billion VND) and this is a rare remuneration for a coach in the LCK region.

Previously, coach Roach of T1 was forced to leave this team when he needed to perform military service next year. If T1 loses coach Tom, this team will face countless difficulties in preparation before the upcoming 2025 season. Fortunately, they had the decisiveness necessary to retain their attack in time and, most importantly, not let their opponents (HLE) get stronger quickly.

T1 may have learned a great lesson after the Zeus incident, so they were more decisive in re-signing with coach Tom.

As for T1, the decisive move mentioned above has regained some love from fans after the recent Zeus scandal. Even when Roach left not long ago, Tom and KkOma are still experienced coaches and capable of leading T1 in the near future. Even if Doran plays well and develops himself when joining T1, this team can completely think about competing for the LCK title or even MSI and Worlds next year.
