The supporters of a team can sometimes be very extremes in their relationship with the latter and/or the leaders of the club. Modern sport, especially football on the Old Continent, is full ofexamples of overflows Of this genre. It remains for the moment much more rare in esports, although we could quote the attitude of some KC fans, or remember that HungryBox, one of the five gods of Smash Bros. Melee once got a crab in the head. Often this attitude seems to be more Western, but in fact fans from other regions can also be quite extreme in their attitudes. This time it’s the Korean T1 fans who got along in a questionable way.
The origins of the conflict
the disenchantment between the structure and part of the fans goes back to the end of the 2020 competitive season. When T1 and the coach Kim “Kim” Jeong-soo to separatethe names of Nicholas “LS” De Cesare and Choi “Polt” Seung-hun are then mentioned to replace it. However the fans don’t appreciate this change, believing that LS lacks the shoulders to coach the team, while Polt lacks experience in the League of Legends environment. They then express their dissatisfaction in various wayssome even going so far as to send death threats.
It seems to work, because ultimately these are Yang “Daeny” Dae-in and Lee “Zefa” Jae-min who join the T1, after having offered a title of World Champions to the DAMWON. The latter will not even stay a year with the triple world champions, becoming thank you in the middle of the Summer Split 2021. Polt and Kim “Moment” Ji-hwan then resume the reins of the teamfor the end of the 2021 season, then see their allocations extended for the year 2022.
The last reaction of the ultras T1
Despite their victory in the Spring Splitand the Mid Season Invitational final, the two coaches did not convince some fans. In particular, they are accused of not knowing draftand to be relatively useless, forcing players to have an additional workload. The fans then claim their outright resignationand have found a way to be sure that their message reaches the ears of the leaders of the structure.
To do this, they hired a advertising truck which passes in front of T1 officesby broadcasting not very pleasant messages. They claim including the recruitment of a coach who has already won a world championship, saying that after seven years of glory, it’s been three years that T1s have brought nothing but shame. If one can discuss the relevance of this kind of criticism, it is certain that this situation will not help the team to prepare for the playoffs. The dissatisfied will be delighted because a poor performance would be an additional argument in their eyes (even if they will be partly responsible), and given the recent performances of the T1s, it is not even certain that a world champion title would silence the critics.
