League of Legends: The truth behind Zeus' departure is revealed, his strength is not proportional to his salary.

Last November, just as the legendary club T1, which had been firmly in its position as the top club, won its fifth League of Legends World Championship, its strongest lineup that had won five consecutive championships suddenly announced its disbandment and exchanged top laners with HLE. In other words, almost all members of the original team renewed their contracts, leaving four without one, and only Zeus left to take up another position.

Zeus left the team and won the championship, netizens helped to clear his name

They were unstoppable. The whole world was certain that they would fight for another year. Such an achievement was unprecedented and will never be repeated. It was like a boy band that had debuted for many years and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Fans and clubs alike hoped that their deeds would not stop one day and become history. However, Zeus's solo flight dealt a blow to everyone's dreams and crushed their fantasies with his own hands. Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, the entire network pointed the finger at him, believing him to be the culprit and accusing him of not remembering his roots.

The transfer caused a lot of uproar, and the motives behind it made people wonder. A person would not change owners for no reason. People on the Internet had different opinions, and no one found the truth. Conspiracy theories were spreading wildly. Some netizens said that the agency was interfering, or that the salary was not satisfactory. The two giants issued a press release to start a war, but in the end the matter was left unresolved. Until now in March, Zeus won the 2025 Global Pioneer Championship for the HLE team, so the discussion has resurfaced, and we are one step closer to the truth.

The ability is seriously underestimated, and the supporting role does not deserve a high salary

Zeus' departure angered the T1 club, which is understandable. From the company's perspective, his contract renewal will help promote the lineup. Moreover, it was revealed earlier that before the contract renewal, future plans had already been customized. With the image of five people, they created a brand in exchange for greater commercial value, and by then they would make a lot of money, have a brilliant record, popularity, income, and championships.

For the players, e-sports is a profession and a skill, but in essence it is a commercial activity. To put it in a mercenary way, the company must use the lowest cost to make the most money, so it naturally hopes to complete the contract renewal at the lowest price, thereby implementing its money-making plan. However, it happened to raise a disobedient employee, and Zeus became a thorn in the side of the club.

As one of the heroes, the boss of the rice team also had to behave himself according to the other party's mood, because good horses are rare, and it was imperative to stop at the edge of the cliff, he would lose a lot of money, so he coaxed and begged, negotiated patiently, and was willing to raise the salary. However, the other party was not satisfied, so he distorted his character into being greedy and made him the biggest villain in the story.
