The transfer drama between T1 - Zeus - Doran accidentally reminds one of the most "brain hacking" deals in the history of LPL and League of Legends.


The transfer drama of T1 - Zeus reminds of a similar deal of LPL


Thus, the transfer drama of T1 - Zeus has new details, when the former Top Lane of the 2024 World Championship champion officially transferred to Hanwha Life Esports. No one knows whether the drama has come to an end or not, but it can be said that up to this point, the team in a passive position is T1 and the possibility of the incident not settling down in the short term.

But from this drama, experts assess that the situation may remind of a transfer drama in the past and the top "brain hack" of LPL, which is the Royal Never Give Up - Weibo Gaming - Bilibili Gaming deal.

At that time, BLG wanted to recruit Bin from WBG while RNG wanted Breathe (who was playing for Team WE at that time). But WBG did not want to help the "rich guy" at that time become stronger. So, one of the rare times, two LPL teams "cooperated" to surpass WBG. From there, Bin joined RNG until the end of MSI 2022. Meanwhile, BLG recruited Breathe. After MSI 2024 ended, these two teams immediately exchanged players. WBG was "overtaken" in a very simple way.

The position of T1 - Zeus is somewhat different from the LPL transfer drama


Unlike the case of WBG - BLG - RNG, the drama at LCK only includes one team being "overtaken", T1. No one knows whether HLE is really connected with Zeus' representative or not, but it's clear that the LCK Summer 2024 champion is the only team that will benefit. They have players they like, and have not been included in the discussion topics in this drama.

Meanwhile, T1 or Zeus both have certain damages. Even, according to some viewers, T1 has erased Zeus's record among the players trained from its academy while Oner and Gumayusi still remain. T1's "breaking of ties" action can be seen as clearly showing this team's attitude towards Zeus's drama as well as predicting that trouble will continue in the near future.
