Coach HLE seemed to "add fuel to the fire" while the T1 - Zeus drama was still very tense.

Coach HLE made a controversial statement in the context of the still tense T1 - Zeus drama

As you know, in recent days, the League of Legends community has continued to debate the T1 - Zeus transfer drama. While everything seemed to be over, HLE's side continuously made moves to "fuel the fire" that made people excited. Recently, coach DanDy continued to make controversial statements that some T1 fans perceived as "putting down" OFGK to elevate Zeus.

The HLE side continues to "add fuel to the fire" when comparing Zeus with the rest of T1.

Accordingly, coach DanDy commented on his new student: "I think Zeus is the one with the most outstanding performances in the team (T1) in both Worlds. Of course, the other members also played excellently." But Zeus is the most outstanding. He has qualities and skills that no one can imitate, both in drafting and in handling matches. He is really annoying and not easy to deal with.

For those who don't know, DanDy is the head coach of HLE and will directly direct Zeus from the 2025 season. But his statement made the League of Legends community and especially T1 fans angry.

HLE coach DanDy said Zeus stood out more than his teammates at the two World Championships.

The League of Legends community believes that HLE's coach position intends to "destroy" T1

According to many opinions, it is true that Zeus is the FMVP for the 2023 World Championship final, as well as contributing to T1's journey in 2024, but saying he is the most prominent player is really a bit... "undermining" T1. Because, in the match against JD Gaming at Worlds 2023 (the match is considered decisive), it was Faker's Shurima Shuffle that was the key to defeating JDG both in terms of results and spirit.

Coming to Worlds 2024, Faker shined again in the most important match against BLG. If he was less outstanding than Zeus, he wouldn't have been able to win the FMVP of the final. Before that, Faker also played extremely well in matches against Gen.G or Top Esports.

The community objected vehemently.

It is said that Zeus contributed greatly to helping T1 win the championship, but it would be a cruel disservice to the efforts of all four remaining members to say that Zeus was the most outstanding factor. And even that was a move to deny the efforts of Faker himself - the one who had the situations that determined the outcome of the match in the two World Championships that T1 won.
