HLE Zeus defends reported decision to extend Fearless Draft in LoL esports

Fearless Draft has become one of the more beloved changes Riot Games introduced to League of Legends for the 2025 season. So much so that Riot has reportedly chosen to extend the rule beyond First Stand, meaning MSI and Worlds 2025 will now feature the format. And now a reigning world champion has come to the defense of that decision.

Zeus is one of the biggest stars in League esports today, having won multiple World Championships, and is now dominating the scene with his new squad in Hanwha Life Esports. The former T1 star is on course to win back-to-back international events, with HLE as a considerable favorite to take the crown. First Stand is the first international event to implement the Fearless Draft rule, and after his series against CFO, Zeus sat down with Dot Esports to speak about the reported decision.
