An Unintentional “Beneficiary” Name in the T1 Drama – Gumayusi
In the midst of the ongoing drama surrounding T1, there are several characters directly or indirectly involved who may be facing a lot of backlash. Both T1 and Smash are being criticized by fans, while Gumayusi remains uncertain about his future, while T1 fans need to maintain their faith in the team. However, there is one unintentional name that has gained the label of “beneficiary” from this whole situation, and that is none other than Zeus.
Specifically, after the transfer in November 2024, Zeus became the “bad guy” in the eyes of many T1 fans. Even the Hanwha Life Esports team has received considerable criticism from their fans. This fallout has even affected Doran and, notably, Gumayusi. Many opinions suggest that T1, due to Gumayusi’s (poor performance, misfortunes…) actions, can no longer be signed with Zeus.
However, with the recent developments, many people have “changed sides” regarding the HLE team. While T1 fans in the LCK and internationally have stopped mentioning Zeus, in the VCS, community sentiment seems to lean more towards supporting this team. There are some who believe that Zeus or those representing him might have some information that led to the dramatic “outfit change” as such.
Moreover, Zeus himself might say that he is not affected by this drama, and he has just won the LCK Cup 2025 alongside HLE. T1’s star player won FMVP and is about to be a key player for the championship title at First Stand. In summary, after leaving T1, while the team is mired in drama, Zeus continues to maintain his form and personal success.
All Upcoming Matches Between Zeus and T1 Will Be Worth Watching
At the LCK Cup 2025, in the match between HLE and T1 during the knockout stage, a viewer count of about 1.9 million was confirmed during peak times. However, the drama surrounding these events continues to escalate, and undoubtedly, this matchup will be one of the most anticipated in the upcoming Regular Seasons 2025.
And if T1 continues to struggle through this turmoil, Zeus will maintain a high level of performance, and the results from their previous matches will likely be a decisive factor.
