While the T1 - Zeus incident in the LCK has not been resolved, the LPL is also experiencing a transfer drama.


The suddenly explosive transfer drama in LPL left a team in a situation similar to T1


Accordingly, on the evening of November 24 (Vietnam time), much information spread on Weibo saying that JD Gaming had "broke the safe" to bring back the Scout - Peyz couple. Everything would still be normal if it weren't for this duo, one is still wearing the LNG Esports shirt (Scout) and the other has been updated as a rookie of LNG (Peyz).


In less than 24 hours, things changed so much that many audiences were truly surprised. According to Chinese media, the reason was that JDG gave the representatives of the two players a large enough amount of money to influence and force the clients to change their opinions. The representative of Scout and Peyz is no stranger, Supergent - a very famous representative company in the League of Legends world.

Based on sources, there was cheating during the off-season between LNG and JDG. Specifically, Scout and Peyz's representative companies have shown interest in both JDG and LNG. Both sides thought they were close to signing these players. LPL could step in but in the end, JDG got Scout - Peyz


For those who don't know, Supergent is the representative of many famous players, among them there are many former players or members still playing for T1, such as Scout, Keria, Ruler... Worth mentioning, Supergent This is also the reason why Scout almost failed to attend Worlds 2024 when this representative was ambiguous about money issues and Scout's contract with his former team Edward Gaming.

In addition, LNG's situation if the incident really happens and the deals are closed, is quite similar to T1 when they fall into the situation of "no one left to recruit". But if T1 still has a quality signature from Doran, then the possibility of LNG is much more tragic when there are not too many good people in LPL now.


Not to mention, according to some information from Hanyi - a quite reputable source in the LPL area, Supergent also "has one foot in two boats" when contacting both JDG and LNG at the same time. This can be considered a "night move" for both teams while Gen.G has not officially parted ways with Peyz.

That was also the case with Zeus when this player's representative expressed a hesitant attitude, wanting to use both T1 and Hanwha Life Esports to probe the other team's intentions in the recent transfer drama.


Unlike T1, LPL's transfer drama will likely be resolved quickly by Riot


Because, in the event that JDG actually "exerts force" to take people, LNG has the right to sue if there is evidence of JDG's transfer violations (if any). In addition, if LNG really loses Scout - Peyz, they will also face the risk of their squad breaking up. Therefore, if the incident really happens, LNG will definitely have to protect its rights.


According to some information from LPL, LNG intends to recruit Tian and one condition is that they must have a good enough squad for Tian to agree to join. Scout and Peyz are the "leverage" for the Tian - LNG deal to take place. If Scout - Peyz really cannot join, Tian will also be able to leave. And then, LNG has no one left to fill the positions.

Furthermore, JDG may also have trouble with the salary cap issue, if they really want to build such an "all-star" team. The LPL side is said to have "ceded" to JDG when they recruited more Ruler in 2023. No one knows whether Riot and LPL organizers will "ignore" this time or not, especially when JDG's tricks affect their interests. other team.


However, the incident until now has only stopped at the rumor level. And only when official information is released can the audience know the reactions of relevant parties.
