HLV HLE Sparks Controversy in T1 – Zeus Drama
As we know, in recent days, the League of Legends community has continued to debate the drama surrounding the transfer of T1 – Zeus. While the transfer discussions seem to have concluded, the HLE side continues to make remarks that “poke the bear,” stirring up the community. Recently, HLV DanDy made controversial statements that led some T1 fans to perceive them as “dismissing” Zeus.
According to reports, HLV DanDy commented on the current situation: “I think Zeus is the most outstanding player in the current roster (T1) across both Worlds tournaments. Of course, other members also performed excellently, but Zeus was the standout. He has qualities and skills that no one can replicate, especially in clutch situations.” He emphasized that “it is very difficult to replace him, and he should not be underestimated.”
For those who might not know, DanDy is the head coach of HLE and will reportedly coach Zeus starting from the 2025 season. His comments have sparked reactions in the League of Legends community, especially among T1 fans, who feel offended by the remarks.
The League of Legends Community Reacts to HLE’s Coach Dismissing T1
Many opinions have emerged, stating that Zeus was the FMVP in the 2023 Worlds finals and contributed significantly to T1’s journey in 2024. However, calling him the best player is indeed a controversial statement that has drawn… “dismissing” T1. In the match against JD Gaming at the 2023 Worlds (considered a decisive game), it was Faker’s Shurima Shuffle that was the focal point that turned the tide against JDG.
Looking ahead to the 2024 Worlds, Faker again shone in the crucial match against BLG. If he performed better than Zeus, he would have been a strong contender for FMVP of the finals. Previously, Faker also excelled in matches against Gen.G and Top Esports.
While it’s true that Zeus made a significant contribution to T1’s championship, it remains a challenge to attribute the success solely to him, especially when considering the other four members of the team. Moreover, it is essential to recognize Faker’s pivotal role, as he has been a consistent performer in both Worlds tournaments where T1 emerged victorious.
