“The Fan’s ‘Phantom List’ of Zeus and the Backlash from Teacher Ba Against KOLs and Commentators
As we know, a few days ago, a sheet was released in the League of Legends community featuring familiar names, including some prominent figures. According to some information, the creator of this list is a fan of Zeus, and the purpose was to support this fan community by calling out certain individuals mentioned in the list. However, the reasons behind the sheet’s creation remain unclear. The only notable point is that names highlighted in the list, such as Teacher Ba and commentator Van Tung, have received backlash.
While famous commentators like Van Tung, Hoang Sama, and prominent personalities or fan pages remained silent or stopped streaming, Teacher Ba continued to go live and maintained an assertive stance.
Specifically, the most well-known streamer in the Vietnamese League of Legends community stated: “Zeus left because of money, while fans of Faker just talk about expressing their feelings. I’m not saying Zeus leaving is wrong, but it’s clear that he left for money.” Moreover, Teacher Ba also mentioned Faker as a crucial factor in situations where it’s not always necessary to be decisive for a team.
Additionally, Teacher Ba firmly stated: “If you fans of Zeus want others not to talk about you, then there are times when you should consider Zeus; you should not bring other teams or players into the mix. As long as you can commit to that, I will also refrain from mentioning Zeus or HLE again.”
The Ongoing Debate About Zeus in the League of Legends Community and the Implications for T1 Fans
The debate has been ongoing since November 19, when T1 officially announced Zeus’s departure, and it is likely to continue in the future. Both sides have their reasons, and it’s mainly the fan community that holds significant weight in this discussion. According to the arguments presented, Zeus is not entirely wrong, and when The Play released the evidence, many opinions suggested that Zeus was indeed justified in his decision.
However, if we consider the previous cases before the announcement at T1, or even the current situation involving Zeus’s teammates like Keria, Oner, or Gumayusi, there may be factors that Zeus has yet to confront compared to these players, and his departure is believed to be largely influenced by these dynamics.
