Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
T1 was beaten and lost by HLE in a recent league game, and the public opinion off the field exploded again, and the discussion about Zeus's departure and the rotation of players in the bottom lane has once again become a hot topic.
And in this process, T1's latest World Cup promotional video has once again caused a lot of controversy.
Here's the thing, last year Saudi Arabia hosted the first Esports World Cup, when T1 was invited to participate in the competition, and defeated BLG and TES two LPL teams in a row to win the championship without being favored, and after winning this championship, T1 won the championship of the World Finals at the end of the year, creating a new dynasty.
And this year's E-sports World Cup will continue, T1 was invited to participate again, and the date of the World Cup is getting closer and closer, T1 released a promotional video of the World Cup, and the content of the clip is basically some wonderful shots of last year's World Cup, including the picture of players winning the cup and receiving the award.
As a result, viewers noticed that in this promotional video, there are only three personal shots or close-ups about the contestants, Faker, Oner, and Keria, and Zeus and Gumayusi are missing.
Faker's close-up appears twice, and other than that, it's a picture of five people together.
This promotional video of T1 also completely exposes its true face, just a cold-blooded and ruthless club with interests at the core, especially under the leadership of an owner like Joe Marsh, T1 Club now looks a little sour.
The most incomprehensible part of the trailer is Gumayusi, and if T1 says it's barely understandable to avoid Zeus in this close-up shot with Zeus gone, it's chilling that the trailer doesn't even have a personal shot of Gumayusi.
Gumayusi did not leave the team this year, but was rotated to the bench, but that doesn't mean that the credit for Gumayusi's achievements last year can be ignored.
T1 had painstakingly managed the Zofgk brand, but as a result, it forced a price reduction in the transfer period, causing Zeus to enter the free market to accept the offer when he had a strong desire to stay with the team, and personally ruined his own brand.
The most outrageous result is that you are not willing to spend money to renew the player's contract, but also come out to speak out and guide public opinion to attack Zeus and his agency when the transfer period is a foregone conclusion, which makes the player and the company suffer unjustified disasters, and once blamed others for the interruption of their brand operation.
In the case of being ruthlessly slapped in the face by the brokerage company, he didn't dare to speak out, and finally could only issue a statement saying that all the content that the boss said before was just speculation and judgment.
After T1 won the championship last year, we all said that Faker and T1 have played the League of Legends finale, and the future of esports is not a confrontation between regions, but a combination of all teams in the world against T1, T1 has the strength to transcend the region and create its own myth.
But now it seems that this unsolvable dynasty of the T1 team is about to be broken from within, and I personally think that Joe Marsh has two biggest credits since coming to T1, one is to increase the team's budget and make T1 one of the richest clubs in the LCK.
The other is to help Gumayusi ascend to the throne in the previous palace fight.
But then Joe Marsh's actions were all about cheating the club, including the two coaches of the team that Faker had been tortured for, as well as Faker's departure, Zeus's departure, and so on.
T1 wouldn't be where T1 is today if it weren't for Faker's departure in the first place, and Faker forcibly corrected T1's direction by expressing his displeasure, putting T1 on the road to winning the championship, but now Joe Marsh has single-handedly lowered the price of Zeus and put the team in a huge predicament again.
This year, Guo Hao made a military order, bluntly saying that TES would resign if he couldn't get results, and I personally think that Joe Marsh should also make such a military order.
