T1 has “tricks” towards smash and confusing actions related to Gumayusi
As is known, in the Regular Seasons 2025 season, there have been many players who achieved Pentakill. This is a memorable achievement and a milestone in his career and among them, there is Faker – who has had a pentakill after 10 years. However, recently, a T1 Challengers player also has a pentakill that is Smash and this has led to a “trick” of T1 itself. Accordingly, T1 held a big event in Membership to celebrate Smash's pentakill, held from 17-23 May.
T1 organizes Pentakill Celebration for Smash recently.
Worth mentioning, Smash is not the only player of T1 Challengers to win pentakill since Faker had a “sorrowful” performance with the general Ahri. Since Faker has Pentakill to the present time, Poby – another player who is also familiar with T1 Challengers also has Pentakill with General Viktor. However, Poby did not have any welcome events.
While the original event was considered by many fans to celebrate Faker's Pentakill.
Because Poby himself made Pentakill before Smash but did not have any welcome events.
Worth mentioning, this welcome event was organized for Faker's historic Pentakill and even received the support of the League of Legends community. However, when Smash itself received a welcome and Poby did not explode the anger of many T1 fans. The most calm fans asked the question: “The Anti-Fan Gumayusi group is always annoyed because Gumayusi receives support. But now what T1 does with this Smash? I don't understand T1's logic. Does this make Smash more negative reaction?”.
Fans also expressed confusion about T1's actions because of “inconsistent money”, proved to be clear of Smash compared to other players in T1 Challengers and easily dragged the negative reaction to this player.
In addition, according to some information, this T1Gall also sends a letter to the candidate for leadership position in Korea to criticize the CEO T1 requesting to put Gumayusi on the list of Regular Seasons 2025 and call this action “destroying eSports. However, this incident currently only spreads in the online community of kimchi. And of course, the upper floor T1 did nothing.
Perhaps “underground waves” still exist in T1
At the present time, despite being stable in terms of the starting lineup, it can be seen that “underground waves” are still happening in T1 and any bad results can make controversy shortly thereafter. And so, perhaps T1 fans should not be too expected this season, when even internal problems that T1 himself cannot solve.
