The world of esports has been shaken by a scandal involving former NAVI captain Danylo “Zeus” Teslenko, who found himself in the middle of a controversy that quickly went global. His romantic involvement with a Chinese student during the Shanghai Major 2024 not only sparked widespread discussion but also led to real-life consequences — the student was expelled from her university after their relationship was publicly exposed.<\/p>
According to Chinese social media and multiple English-language translations, Zeus had an intimate relationship with a 21-year-old student from Dalian University of Technology during his stay in Shanghai in December 2024. He was attending the Shanghai Major as an honorary guest for an exhibition match on stage. It was during this time, based on eyewitness accounts and chat logs, that the relationship began.<\/p>
The biggest controversy erupted from Zeus’s own behavior. On his private Telegram (or possibly Discord — sources vary), Zeus publicly shared fragments of the affair and mockingly labeled the student as “Eazy girl,” igniting a wave of outrage. Videos and screenshots spread rapidly across the Chinese CS scene, triggering an intense reaction not just within China, but across global esports communities.<\/p>
