League of Legends: The truth behind Zeus' departure is revealed, his ability is not proportional to his salary. (Part 2)

The biggest villain in the story was also whitewashed by netizens after many months. At the beginning, Zeus's agency did issue a statement, explaining that it gave priority to T1 and that it was better to do business with the familiar, but the conditions offered by the other party were really insincere, and they ended up parting ways unhappily. Due to the huge fan base of T1, facts speak louder than words, and no matter how many explanations are made, they will all be bad excuses in the eyes of black fans. In the past few months, Zues remained silent and carried the stigma of "traitor". Even though he was not favored by the world, he still insisted that man can conquer nature, and finally cleared his name in the 2025 Global Pioneer Tournament.

After winning the championship, announce the details of the negotiations

The so-called god team T1, without former teammate Zeus, lost early. After joining HLE, he, a Lone Ranger, had to work with four strangers to get used to each other again, but he made it all the way to the finals, won overwhelmingly, and proudly won the championship. The new team not only gained points, but also shone on this international stage and proved its strength. HLE's championship made a sensation in the city. The agency decided to take action and released the renewal timeline on March 22, adding more details, such as the communication records of both parties, the quotation and the negotiation process, and finally the truth came to light.

In November 2024, T1 offered a "3+1" contract with an annual renewal of 8 million, which was quickly rejected by Zeus, who asked for an extension date until November 19, when they received offers from other teams. It should be noted that several players under the HLE club, such as Delight and Doran, are not worth much, and their salaries are 15 million yuan.

The salary of the champion player is not as high as that of the supporting players.

Looking at T1's treatment, support teammate Keria signed a two-year contract for 9 million. However, this member of the five-time champion lineup, double champion, and FMVP player only has a salary of 8 million. Isn't it a bit disrespectful or even an insult to the other party's status and strength in the industry?

On the 17th, T1 changed the terms to "1+1", 9 million per year, indicating that the right to renew the contract for the second year is in T1's hands. If Zeus's performance declines, they have the right not to renew the contract and throw it away at any time. Zeus insisted on waiting for other teams to make offers. On the 18th, T1 used "1+1", 10 million per year, but still decisively rejected it. Until the 19th, they finally received the conditions offered by HLE, which was also "1+1", but it was an option, and the salary was 13 million per year. With such a comparison, how would you choose?

The nostalgic Zeus team first negotiated with T1 and took the initiative to ask for 2 years, 13 million per year, but was rejected by T1. The final offer was "1+1, club option, 12 million per year". Seeing this, Zeus' patience reached its limit and he turned to join HLE.
