The first "blockbuster" of the 2024 transfer window exploded when Zeus parted ways with T1 and Doran took his place.

Shocking transfer news for T1 - Doran - Zeus

It was thought that after the extremely successful 2024 World Championship, teammates had also extended their contracts, which would help T1 retain Zeus. But on November 19, the "blockbuster" exploded. T1 bid farewell to Zeus and welcomed Doran.

Doran's joining was really surprising and even the experts were stunned. On social network One netizen worried: "I respect their decision, but why choose a player that can cause you to be eliminated from Worlds?".

Zeus - Doran - T1 may be the most notable transfer deal

Perhaps when recruiting Doran, T1 expected a replacement similar to the old MaRin - Duke. At that time, Duke was also underestimated but was still capable of helping T1 win the 2016 World Championship.

With Doran, T1 will still have a strong enough upper wing. But the possibility of their success depends on the performance of all 5 members, not just Doran or anyone else.
