In the Spring LCK period 2022, T1 can then be considered as one of the pioneering teams with the Gunner game support. This tactic of T1 is extremely unique, helping their versatile support is Keria to maximize their ability in each match. The rule of this game is also extremely simple: Gumayusi will use a mobile gunner general or capable of “buff” (specifically Senna, Kalista) and to Keria also use a gunner or tanker as Tahm Kench as a support. Keria will move continuously and Gumayusi plays safely. The gameplay will then move up to the upper wing to maximize resources for Faker and Zeus.
T1 once won the impressive unbeaten achievement thanks to the Gunner game supporting and the trend of moving resources on the wing
However, there is a clear truth: T1 does not change its play even though the meta has passed many updates and the player's performance at the time of up and down. Of course, if the level of the players is extremely high, any meta will be able to adapt, playing a regular strategy will be able to help the team “unbeaten” if the tactic is operated at a perfect level. But T1 is currently not having the most important factor: the skills and performance of the players.
But over time, everything has changed except … T1's gameplay
There are even many opinions that the audience pointed out that T1 let Gumayusi play the form like Senna too many times have made the ability to “carry the team” of this player and the teammates of Gumayusi are no longer familiar with the playful resource play for the gunner. If you look to Gen.G in the last match, they can distribute resources very well to Canyon, Chovy and Peyz. In fighting, the players pay attention to the life to Peyz with early equipment. Then at the end of the match, the Ezreal of the young gunner on the gene side.
“T1 probably forgot how to play for the gunner. Keria does not support Gumayusi anytime. They are having the gunner in the best group but they do not know how to give him the best condition.”
Gumayusi himself played stably, but with generals like Senna, he could not carry a whole team that lost better than the opponent. Gumayusi's teammates themselves did not create the best conditions for him to show the quality. And that may be one of the important reasons that T1 defeated the defeated MSI champion.
