Zeros is paying a hefty price for past mistakes, and Teacher Ba is going all out to assist his comrades during tough times.
In the Vietnamese LoL community, hardly anyone is unaware of Zeros' 'global ban' penalty. Even the international community is keenly interested in the former SBTC Esports top laner's verbal offense incident. Since then, Zeros' career has come to a halt. Despite his efforts, it seems unlikely that Riot and Garena will reconsider. Consequently, he has resorted to 'voluntary advising' for his younger teammates to compete effectively in the current Winter VCS season.
Before the official start of the Winter 2021 VCS season, Zeros made numerous attempts to return to the professional scene. However, none have been fruitful so far, with no signs from Riot and Garena indicating they intend to lift Zeros' penalty. Thus, he has transitioned to 'voluntary advising' for his younger teammates to compete effectively in the current Winter VCS season.
Despite no 'global ban' or any penalties from VCS organizers, Zeros continues to face exclusion from VETV. Specifically, he laments that his name 'Zeros' gets automatically deleted whenever mentioned in chat. Moreover, he is unable to access any content related to the VCS 2021 tournament copyright owned by VCS organizers (and VETV broadcasting channel) on his personal streaming channel. Zeros adds that even content related to SE is off-limits to him (mic-checks, highlights, etc.). In a subsequent chat, Zeros mentions he almost faced a 'copyright strike' for reacting to an SE mic-check.
In reality, it's common knowledge that content related to tournaments is copyrighted by VCS organizers and the VETV broadcasting channel. However, while teams and players can easily utilize this content, streamers like Zeros may find it more challenging. Nevertheless, the strict actions by VCS organizers and VETV are perhaps related to Zeros repeatedly violating rules and being under a global ban, effectively facing 'boycott.' Thus, content related to SE and tournaments is no exception.
Underneath Zeros' lament post, there were numerous expressions of sympathy, but apart from encouragement, hardly anyone had any constructive suggestions for the 'Dark Lord.' Personally, Dia1 also took the opportunity to urge, 'let us return.' As for Teacher Ba, he bluntly suggested that Zeros try his luck in the youth team and would provide him with opportunities immediately after the end of the Winter VCS season.
Certainly, Zeros' penalty for his verbal offense still stands, and perhaps, the time for Zeros to return to the professional LoL arena is still far off. And precisely in moments like these, Zeros is perhaps the one who regrets the most, but surely this player also knows that everything now is too belated.
