Not only was he involved in the transfer drama with T1, but before that, Zeus also had a fan "outplay" action.
The audience looked back at the past and discovered Zeus's "strange" actions
After the latest statements from Hanwha Life Esports about the T1 - Zeus incident were released, this drama once again caused fierce debate in the community. And while the worldwide League of Legends community is divided into many conflicting opinions, many T1 fans have discovered: Zeus "outplayed" them from a seemingly normal action as soon as Worlds 2024 ended.
The audience discovered how Zeus had been "outplaying" fans since before the transfer drama with T1 broke out
Specifically, just a few days after the team returned from London, while still having a rest schedule, Zeus was the first player to stream and interact with the audience without being part of T1's schedule. According to many fans, this was quite strange because "he's not the type to suddenly stream like Gumayusi or Keria".
Many fans at that time even thought it was a move that showed Zeus would stick with T1. Because, on stream, he did not reveal any plans, only shared about his past journey at Worlds with T1 and Zeus even shared about the fines for being late or violating T1's rules. and plan for using this money. The player born in 2004 also promised "to see you again soon".
Zeus went on stream to share about T1's journey and promised to meet the audience again even though there was no stream scheduled that day - a very unusual action by Zeus.
The audience was upset by Zeus' actions
Obviously, finding a destination that fully meets your wishes is understandable. But the way Zeus left is controversial. Even Zeus's "unscheduled livestream" and statements that attracted a lot of donations were judged by many fans as "trying to attract money from fans one last time".
"My thoughts at that time were that at least Top Lane (Zeus) would re-sign. I only had to worry about the rest. Now...," one fan admitted. Another audience said: "Normally Zeus never streams outside of schedule like that. Fans were overjoyed because they thought this kid would re-sign. What I'm most angry about is that I also donated that day."
It can be said that currently T1 fans have almost no sympathy for the player born in 2004
Of course, the important thing is still the way Zeus left everything behind. And perhaps right now, he is the player who makes T1 fans the most angry because of his ambiguity.
