The drama transfer between T1 – Zeus comes from the responsibility of both parties
In the past few days, in the atmosphere waiting for the “blockbuster”, the League of Legends community was probably satisfied when the drama between T1 – Zeus exploded, leading to Doran also accidentally “spread”. Up to now, it can be understood that: Zeus has received a lot of suggestions, more suitable from Hanwha Life Esports while T1 failed with his effort to keep his superstar.
HLE officially recruited Success Zeus from T1
But is T1 really “victim”? As an extremely filtering team, T1 understands how negotiated with superstar like Zeus needs to be like. But they were constantly being passive. Not really due to T1 too poor, but simply: T1 subjective and also ready to replace Zeus.
They believe that Zeus, for some reason, such as sticking with OfGK; Or the stature and influence, the achievement that T1 can bring will retain Zeus. That may be true, if Zeus is not the second upper line in the history of League of Legends, there are 2 World Championships. Even Zeus was better than his elder Duke, when his championship was two consecutive consecutive.
T1 is passive because of the fact that they may be too subjective about the position of the two sides
Zeus himself probably only sees T1 as an option. According to an expert in the Vietnamese League of Legends village, Suppose Zeus also has its own ambition, like becoming the main character of ZOFGK and built to replace Faker gradually. Along with the issue of money, contract term … is also enough for Zeus to consider and prepare for a plan if T1 does not accept.
Zeus itself may also have its own calculations
And T1 does not accept it. Negotiations to increase money but reduce contract time (according to Naver It is from 2+1 year to 1+1 year) are not suitable for Zeus (or representative). Negotiate a tank. Simply one side keeps the intention and the other does not meet.
In the case of T1 – Zeus (representative), every party wants to benefit himself as the maximum. This is understandable because each side has certain positions. When the benefits are not parallel to become opposites, the separation is obvious.
When both sides want to maximize their benefits but the two benefits are conflicting, the conflict and separation is easy to understand
The role of the parts in the transfer drama T1 – Zeus
In the salary, each side has different roles. HLE is the catalyst and the best option if T1 does not accept the “claim” of Zeus. And finally, they became the stop of this player, with the offer that Zeus's representative was “better”.
T1 can be said to be “almost” to become “victims”. But if it was a team that really filtered the core and understanding the market, Doran really signed a lightning contract and saved T1 “a goal”?
Doran came to T1 as “Thien Thoi, Loi Loi, Humanity” and good for both sides
No one knows whether T1 targets Doran before or has what surrounding the two sides. But at least, T1 is ready to abandon Zeus, as itself Naver said they had targeted Kiin for the replacement of their players. That is, T1 was sometimes not passive when negotiated with Zeus.
As for Zeus's representative, as the expert also said that this player authorized his representative to do everything. But basically, they also only implement plans based on Zeus's wishes. It can be said that they offered a way to promote Zeus from T1, not to continue to stick with this team.
And only Zeus can answer the question “Do you really want to stick with T1?”
Nobody in this story has no separate calculations to ensure their position. But as mentioned, for the sake of conflict, so when one party achieved the goal, one side was damaged. In this story, it is the T1 fans who have loved ZofGK, as well as have made great efforts to own a series of great memories of this collective achievement.
