WTF
He was, he admitted his wrongdoings. fl1pzjder also apologized, they did to each other where Meteor became the middleman to settle the problems. For TenTen side, he already got his punishment from Riot, social punishment where he immediately got kicked out by NORTHEPTION at the time, he moved on, starting fresh, but you stuck in the past.
Update:Dep will return in two weeks

I mean, most JP teams are quite handholding in terms of their contract; and it's right at the start of playoffs, where teams with the better players are still pushing especially for it, which means teams are reluctant to release them.
In terms of their own academy, I think almost all of them are either right at the cusp just barely being 18 or below 18, so they're not able to be promoted for ZETA's main team.
Also TenTen have played in the JP system with both FAV and NORTHEPTION, so for a quick substitute, it's logical.
