These days, the community is highly interested in the moves teams are making to prepare for the new League of Legends season. Notably, after their championship win, T1 has three players whose contracts are expiring, all of whom are key members: Gumayusi, Keria, and Zeus. Meanwhile, other teams like Dplus KIA and Gen.G are also undergoing significant changes. All of this signals an incredibly active transfer season ahead, and undoubtedly, there will be plenty of “blockbuster” moves that will shake the League of Legends community.
Of course, there will be information that gets “leaked” beforehand by insiders in the area. However, if that leak comes from a well-known figure with significant influence who is still in office, it becomes quite unexpected. Yet, in reality, this has happened. Recently, T1’s CEO, Joe Marsh, accidentally revealed that Gen.G has recruited Canyon. The CEO of T1 even subtly “mocked” Gen.G: “Arnold (COO of Gen.G) always complains about being poor, and then his team recruits Canyon”.
This revelation has left many League of Legends fans, especially Gen.G supporters, quite displeased. This comes in the context of T1’s COO, Josh, having previously “pressed” a prominent journalist who was quite close to T1, as that journalist had leaked news about coach KkOma returning to T1. In fact, some netizens even directly “mocked” T1’s COO: “Josh really looks ridiculous in this situation with his boss.”

However, the information from T1’s CEO holds a high degree of accuracy. Shortly after, some reliable sources from LCK revealed an important detail: “Canyon has just agreed to Gen.G’s contract”. This suggests that Canyon and Gen.G have indeed engaged in extensive and detailed negotiations regarding an upcoming “blockbuster” deal.
The fact that T1’s CEO leaked internal information about another team, especially a direct rival of T1, is indeed quite sensitive. But this could make League of Legends fans even more eager for the “bombshell” transfers that are set to be activated in the coming days.
