Superstar T1 suddenly accepted Riot's warm praise
Since the 2025 season started, Gumayusi was the player with the fate of T1's fate as much as T1's performance before the series of Road to MSI. Having just won two championships in a row with T1, the gunner born in 2002 was posted on the bench after only 2 matches. He did not even get scrim but could only climb the rank to “hold hands”. But after all the storms, Gumayusi returned and played more and more, becoming an extremely important factor in the journey to help T1 win tickets to MSI 2025.
Gumayusi played excellent, especially the Road to MSI period.
But recently, Gumayusi became one of the rare players who were reminded by Riot's owners with warm compliments. Accordingly, Max Perlman – who directly designed and developed the new champion Yunara confirmed that he wanted Gumayusi to be this general and “Yunara designed for gunner like Gumayusi”.
He said: “Yunara will be the general for those who love the play of a real, classic gunner of League of Legends. Throughout his career, Gumayusi has shown this role very well. Therefore, if asking who is the player we want to see Yunara, it is probably Gumayusi.”
Riot admits the general Yunara will promote well and suit the gunner like Gumayusi.
It can be said that this is a “privilege” of Gumayusi. Because in the past, Riot rarely mention a general associated with any player when the general has not even debuted a professional arena. It can be said that Riot seemed to have “measured shoes” Yunara for the T1 superstar.
Gumayusi's play in the T1 squad seemed silent but very prominent
In fact, in recent seasons, T1 played with the weak gumayusi formula or the road to Keria – Oner Island Gank support Faker and Zeus/Doran. The ability to lane and make the most of Gumayusi's resources helps T1 operate this game well. But perhaps playing like that for too long, many people forget Gumayusi is the traditional gunner, the form of “just putting resources, creating space and Gumayusi will do miracles”.
The audience may also expect Gumayusi to bring Riot's new champion to play.
Therefore, if T1 can reopen this possibility and give Gumayusi the necessary conditions, they can completely trust their gunner. Especially when he was still the second gunner, after the state, winning the World Championship twice in a row.
