Zeus Representative Speaks Out on the Controversial Transfer Drama Between T1 – Zeus
Accordingly, the representative for Zeus stated that they want Zeus to become a “free agent” to assess market value. Previously, according to this representative, they were informed by T1 about the overall difficulties in the LCK due to the salary cap. The Play (the representative of Zeus) also did not hide their intention to have the market evaluate Zeus to negotiate with T1.
However, The Play asserted that it was T1 who failed to make a decision, not them or Zeus. The Play confirmed that they simply wanted Zeus to become a free agent to “verify the accuracy of the information T1 provided about the market” and had no intention of imposing conditions or bargaining with T1.
In addition, The Play also continuously affirmed that on November 19, they did not schedule any meeting with T1. At the same time, this representative also confirmed that it was Hanwha Life Esports who requested the 3 PM deadline.
Additionally, The Play mentioned that Zeus suffered many disadvantages during his time at T1. The new proposal from T1 made it “difficult not only for us (The Play) but also for Woo-je (Zeus) to accept.”
“As I mentioned above, the 3 PM deadline was requested by HLE earlier, so we couldn’t prolong negotiations with T1 for too long,” The Play asserted in their statement.
Furthermore, this representative also confirmed that T1 parted ways with Zeus amicably. They also asserted that the information T1 provided about Zeus and the representatives delaying conditions during the exclusive negotiation period was false.
HLE Could Become the Villain in the T1 – Zeus Transfer Drama
With the statement from Zeus’s representative, HLE risks becoming the villain. This is because the CEO of T1 announced that HLE did not set any deadlines concerning the 3 PM timeframe as The Play previously stated. However, The Play’s announcement completely contradicts the assertions made by T1’s CEO and HLE.
If HLE truly has “issues,” this team may face considerable public backlash in the near future. But it can be seen that another side has been pulled into the drama, and this incident shows no signs of stopping.
