Doran’s New Attitude Sparks T1-Zeus Drama
As we know, alongside various factors related to salary and contract terms, one piece of information leaked from Zeus’ agency reveals that he expressed dissatisfaction when he left T1. This dissatisfaction primarily stemmed from the continuous streaming methods, which were perceived as restrictive. This situation has notably upset many T1 fans, especially those who frequently donate to the players. Recently, the rookie Doran took action that seemingly upset Zeus, indicating that he had a legitimate grievance.
According to reports, during a live stream, Doran, feeling excessively fatigued, decided to take a break while on air. Many viewers in the chat suggested that the T1 players should stop streaming altogether. However, as the stream wasn’t finished yet, Doran attempted to stay awake and continued his work.
After the 2025 LCK Cup, T1 players had to revert to their usual streaming schedule. It is worth noting that despite being a rookie, T1 wanted to boost Doran’s visibility, leading him to have the most streaming days among the team members, with five consecutive days (from February 15 to 19). Particularly on February 18, Doran streamed during all three time slots as per the schedule.
Challenges Faced Upon Joining T1
With players already familiar with T1’s demanding work schedule, the continuous streaming over several days was certainly an adjustment for Doran as a newcomer. However, his strict streaming regimen is not uncommon. Notably, prior to this, T1 had faced DDoS attacks, which impacted their streaming schedule significantly, forcing players to adapt to “toughening up” as a regular occurrence.
Despite these challenges, there are still many opinions that suggest Doran’s situation reflects his commitment to improving and not wanting to fall into a cycle of excessive rigidity. Doran himself was previously a member of HLE, and if he were to transition to T1, he would not want to find himself in a state of over-exhaustion like this.
