Gumayusi's class is simply too different
In the match against Drx in order to open the recent Regular Seasons 2025 of T1, Gumayusi had a perfect performance with never being defeated. Although MVP is not (losing to Keria 1 votes), it can be said that Gumayusi's performance after a long time of the reserve is impeccable. In particular, the processing with Miss Fortune in game 2 also has a situation that shows the class of AD 2 World Championship.
Gumayusi has a perfect performance.
Specifically, it is a situation right in the Dragon and T1 cave being pressed. Gumayusi himself also had to choose the best corner to throw storms. Instead of discharging into a large target position but Braum's shield, he switched to using all the storms for Ahri to force Ucal to use the lake to escape. After that, Gumayusi immediately canceled the ultimate and switched to normal shooting.
Only a situation of adjusting the storm corner also shows the bravery, calm and knowledgeable generals of the T1 gunner.
Worth mentioning, all of the above actions and analysis take place for a few dozen seconds and in the situation T1 was pressed into the corner of the dragon cave. Gumayusi himself is also the one who deals the largest damage to this fight (more than 9k damage).
Gumayusi is also the one who deals the largest amount of damage.
Looking at Gumayusi, the audience immediately remembered Smash
Of course, all comparisons will be lame when Gumayusi is the player who won the World Championship twice in a row and is the second gunner in the history of League of Legends to make this achievement. However, many viewers think of Smash because: In the clip he was complained by his seniors, Smash also used Miss Fortune and chose an extremely … bad position.
Even Faker or Mata also expressed confusion when Smash chose the location of the storm discharge, which was easily pulled by Blitzcrank of Lehends. And Smash lost Ulti, then defeated early caused T1 to lose this fight.
While Smash was too hasty to discharge the storm without choosing the corner and let Lehends pull.
SMASH itself is probably there are certain potentials, so BHL T1 has chosen to play in the LCK Cup 2025. However, this player currently certainly cannot replace Gumayusi, if T1 really wants to aim for victories and titles.
