Faker took controversial actions on Smash on replacing Gumayusi
In the match against KT Rolster, T1 decided to push Gumayusi on the bench as expected of many people after the defeat of T1 against Gen.G. Of course, for a comprehensive weak player like KT, the victory for T1 is nothing unexpected. This is also a match that marks Faker's 1000 matches. Therefore, after the match, he was also invited to the analysis room while Keria was speaking on the stage about his title Pom (Player of the Match).
Faker celebrated the 1000 game milestones in his career at LCK on the day of competition with KT recently.
Worth mentioning, Faker has made a normal statement but at the present time, it is quite sensitive: “If possible, I will give one more of my vote to Smash. He has played well in important situations.
Faker wants to spend a vote for Smash and this is considered to be quite sensitive at the present time.
The audience also argued about Faker's speech
If in a normal context, Faker's statement may be just a common professional. But in the context of Drama T1 – Gumayusi – Smash is booming, many people are concerned that Faker's statement may be an excuse for Gumayusi's anti -Fan side to attack him if this player is given opportunities in the upcoming matches by T1.
However, there are many ideas that Faker simply shows professionalism and he wants to recognize Smash's contribution. In fact, if the LCK Cup 2025 is only booted and does not put a stature too important, then Regular Seasons 2025 is SMash's first official LCK match in T1 shirt. Therefore, Faker shows support is probably normal.
There have been many opinions from international fans about the incident.
However, perhaps now the external characters express their support or oppose against T1 and Gumayusi is no longer too important. The belief of Gumayusi fans for T1 has touched the bottom. And now, people are not too expected of T1 will allow Gumayusi to return in the near future, even sometimes this team really falls into the foot of the wall, the gunner has two consecutive World Championships to “make a comeback”.
