T1 missed the international stage 1

After HLE eliminated T1 3-2, the six-time World Championship team also missed out on the first First Stand International this year. Due to the large number of fans around the world, many people began to find reasons for T1's defeat after being out, and the most unavoidable of them was Zeus, the double champion who debuted from T1 youth training and became famous from T1 Academy. Last year, Zeus entered the market as a free agent, and T1 did not go out of their way to keep this new era hero, and finally signed by HLE and left the team, which caused an uproar in the industry. The two sides also disagree on this matter, and with this year's newcomer Smash replacing Gumayusi, the final result is that T1 of the championship team no longer exists.

Is it really because of the money?

First of all, let's review the most important transfer event at the end of last year. Zeus contracts expire and enter the transfer market, which is a normal process in line with the regulations, and T1 also said that it will actively communicate about contract renewals. Following the opening of the transfer window, a number of clubs approached Zeus and its agency. It was rumored on the Internet that HLE was willing to pay a huge luxury tax for Zeus, and when T1 officials did not move for a long time, many people thought that they might want to abandon Zeus.

T1 was the first to officially announce the signing of Doran, and at the same time said that Zeus left the team. HLE then officially announced that Zeus had joined. However, it didn't end so simply. The CEO of T1 suddenly jumped out and accused Zeus's agency of being an obstruction, causing T1 to fail to negotiate with Zeus. Zeus's agency immediately issued a long article refuting T1's CEO's statement, because the new contract proposed to T1 by the brokerage company on behalf of Zeus was not accepted, and T1 gave them intolerable conditions, which finally led to the signing of HLE with better terms. The brokerage company said that everything was legal and compliant, and what the CEO of T1 said was not true.

When the wood was already in the boat, the two sides did not bite each other any longer, and the matter was over.

To put it bluntly, it's because of money

Zeus helped T1 win the World Finals for 2 consecutive years, debuted at the age of 17 and won the double championship at the age of 20, age and technology are at the peak, and it is understandable that his value has skyrocketed and he wants a higher salary. HLE offered an extremely tempting offer, and if T1 did not join the auction to keep Zeus, it was realistic to say that Zeus had no reason to stay in T1.

T1, as a big club with SK News Agency and Kongscart subsidiaries behind it, cannot be short of money. It's nothing more than that they don't think Zeus is worth paying the more expensive luxury tax on their own. Because it's a T1 youth training background, I want to play the emotional card, brother LOL, logging tired LOL, but Zeus is a more realistic type. Even though T1's COO said before the transfer that he would keep the roster even if he paid the luxury tax, this is not the case in their actual actions.

The bottom line is that there aren't that many twists and turns, it's just that T1 doesn't want to bid on Zeus with HLE. This is also a way of thinking that we still can't understand.

The high value is not Zeus' fault

Esports players don't have long careers, and it's rare in history that there have been long-term combinations like Faker and T1. Zeus has played its value in recent years, its value has skyrocketed, and it is understandable to pursue better treatment. Not spending a lot of money to keep him is a problem for T1's own management, and if this Bo5 is not HLE, but T1, then how will they attack the double champion? T1 pays for its own transfer operation.

Zeus's behavior also left enough for himself, and he also said that T1 was definitely his first choice during the transfer period, but the outcome was regrettable. After defeating T1, he also behaved like a gentleman, and as an old club that made his debut famous, not celebrating is the greatest tribute. With such a player who is now so perfect in terms of both strength and work ethic, T1 is giving it to others, and HLE is really going to laugh out loud.
