The representative of T1 responded to the information of the Zeus side but made the “conspiracy theory” about the future of CEO Joe Marsh
Recently, the representative of T1, in the sharing with the Korean media, has responded to information from the Zeus representative. Notably, the T1 side affirmed the statements of CEO T1 Joe Marsh about the incident on the AMA section as soon as Zeus was gone were the opinions of the CEO and not representing T1. In addition, the T1 side also confirmed that there will be no correction or any impact related to the incident or Joe Marsh's speech.
T1 CEO is receiving consequences for his statements about the Zeus incident.
However, besides the affirmation of the T1 side as underground “losing” in the controversy surrounding Zeus, there is also a remarkable idea: the role of the CEO, if true T1 and The Play shared, it is very faint. The Play itself also affirmed that “not negotiating with the CEO of T1 when negotiating Zeus”.
As for Joe's role, when he shared about the drama within T1, his voice would be influential and then, he made very confident judgments. But now, with the new moves of T1, this team not only responds to The Play but also responds to CEO Joe Marsh himself.
It was T1 that denied his sharing in the AMA part when the Zeus incident exploded.
T1 denying the CEO's own statement in the case related to Zeus may be a sign that his position is threatened. This move not only helps the organization to avoid common responsibility, but also shows that the CEO will become “sacrifices” to soothe public opinion and protect the team image.
It is the CEO that also needs to be more careful. Because, his actions and superstructure have now lost many fans, including T1's intimate fans. The factor that holds him is probably because of the merits of the CEO in the past and good relationship with Faker.
One of the reasons for T1 CEO is probably in the past thanks to the past success that one of which is to retain Faker.
The CEO “very hard, crime” of T1
Since taking over the CEO position of T1, the CEO “is not less but also many dramas”. He had absolutely successful when looking for ways, including coming to Faker's house to convince him to stay at T1. In addition, he also built the image of ZOFGK brand image as a collective of 5 people creating T1 instead of Faker to occupy the visual of the team as before.
Branding ZOFGK is also a success of T1 CEO.
In addition, during the “crisis” eSports after the epidemic, Joe Marsh and his team also found every way for the team to survive and continue to have profit. This is undeniable or denied when the drama surrounds Joe Marsh.
But his “crime” is not less. From unreasonable personnel appointments (Polt, Daeny – Zefa) to the incident of ONER harassment. Tom was even considered a mistake of T1 when he was famous as the reigning anti champion of Worlds 2024. But Tom's contributions later smashed all doubts.
But he was also very drama and harassing oner was one of them.
Although T1 spoke out to clarify Zeus's case, the denial of the CEO's words made the public unable to question his real position in the team. Perhaps in the future there will be changes that fans themselves do not expect.
