Okay, so the other day, this question popped into my head, maybe I saw it somewhere online, I don’t quite remember: “Why did Zeus leave T1?”. Seemed like a big deal, right? T1, Zeus… you hear those names together all the time, especially after big wins.

So, naturally, I got curious. First thing I did, I just went online. Opened up my browser, typed in something like “Zeus T1 leave” or “Zeus transfer news”. You know, the usual stuff you do when you’re trying to catch up on roster moves.
I spent maybe twenty minutes just clicking through search results. Looking at esports news sites, fan forums, that kind of thing. Expected to find some official announcement, or at least some solid articles explaining the situation. You know, maybe contract disputes, wanting a new challenge, the typical reasons players move.
Digging into it
But here’s the thing, the more I looked, the less sense the original question made. Everything recent I found had him right there with T1. Winning Worlds, signing contracts… it was all pointing towards him staying, not leaving.
This got me scratching my head. Did I miss something huge? Or maybe the question I saw was old? Or just flat-out wrong?
So I switched tactics. Instead of searching for why he left, I started searching for if he left. Looked specifically for:

- Official T1 roster announcements for the current season.
- Zeus’s own social media, see if he mentioned anything.
- Recent match VODs or highlights – was he playing?
Spent another chunk of time on this. Watched some clips, read through official team posts. Checked the league databases for player registrations.
The outcome
And yeah, after all that digging around, turns out the premise was shaky. As far as all the official sources and recent activity showed, Zeus hadn’t actually left T1. He re-signed with them after their Worlds victory. He was still listed as their top laner.
So, the whole process of trying to figure out “why” he left turned into figuring out that he apparently… didn’t. It’s weird how rumors or maybe just outdated information can float around and make you chase ghosts. Maybe someone was just speculating wildly, or maybe I just saw some clickbait title based on nothing solid.
Bottom line: My little investigation journey led me to conclude he’s still with T1. It’s a good reminder to always double-check the source and the date when you hear esports rumors. Saves you a lot of confusion!
