After a long time since Choi "Zeus" Woo-Je officially transferred to Hanwha Life Esports (HLE), Zeus's management agency has spoken out about the Zeus deal, correcting the client.
The Zeus dealing from T1 has greatly affected the world League of Legends community when fans believed that the team would keep the squad as the world championship. However, Zeus finally left the team on November 19 after the contract expired, T1 recruited Doran instead and then Zeus moved to HLE. At that time, the rumor of Zeus had left due to dissatisfaction with the T1 salary.
Zeus's Agency spoke about rumors with T1
However, after Zeus went to HLE, the CEO of T1, Joe Marsh, "stormed" public opinion with the response to Ask Me Anything (AMA - Ask anything) on the Korean FMKOREA forum. He criticized Zeus's Agency that was dishonest in negotiations with T1 and Zeus was affected by that, which led to leaving T1.
Recently, the Agency The Play has officially spoken about this issue. A large channel specializing in handling the problems of the gaming industry is g 식백과 giving information about this incident. Agency stated that as soon as the incident, they asked the Korean Electronic Sports Committee to correct false information, but there was no response until now, so they have to contact this channel.
The Play has required correction of false information related to Zeus
In addition, the agency has sent the entire chat history between them and T1 here with the timeline, only a few can be shared in the video/article due to the security terms. Later, this channel asked T1 to interview to verify all the things that the Agency said but T1 has not made any feedback.
The channel has announced the detailed information negotiations between The Play and T1, including the day Zeus left the team and the two sides negotiated the last time. Specifically, both T1 and Zeus confirmed that the contract extended, but the negotiations continuously did not come to agree on the salary.
Until 9am on November 19, Zeus's contract expired and the teams began to propose to recruit. After reviewing the suggestions, The Play sent a request to T1 but still did not come to approve. Finally, T1 asked for a direct call for Zeus and this upper line said without the salary difference with other teams, they would continue to sign with T1.
The Play says Zeus still prioritizes re -signing with T1
The organization continued to request a direct meeting and immediately went to Zeus's location at Incheon but HLE also made an appointment for Zeus at 15:00. Therefore, The Play said that if T1 wants to ask, it can be said directly by phone. However, after many agreements, the two sides did not agree and Zeus announced that they would sign a contract with HLE for T1. At the end of 16h, T1 came to Incheon to meet Zeus but the contract was successfully signed and the two parties parted.
From the view from The Play, both the Agency and Zeus were very active to re -sign a contract with Zeus, T1 also wanted to complete the contract early but the negotiations were unsuccessful. The Play even gave information that there was no contractual fee because Zeus would be re -signed with T1.
Since then, The Play confirmed that the information that CEO Joe Marsh made that the Agency "lured" Zeus to join the HLE to get extra fee is completely wrong and asked the T1 side to correct but not answered. However, this incident has not ended and the parties are constantly updating information about these incidents, especially related to the message between T1 and The Play during the time of negotiation to extend the contract.
