In the last Spring LCK final of the 2024 Spring, it can be said that both T1 and Gen.G teams have devoted one of the most peak performance of the spring of League of Legends. In that match, one can witness all possible emotions of a heroic battle: From the superstar processing phase to the Macro Macro play style, the small mistakes also turn the match or the highlights that can make both the audience and the players also admire.
T1 has devoted a top match with Gen.G and they only lost at the last moments
Perhaps up to now, many viewers still dream about the Shurima Shuffle + Quadra Kill of Azir in the hands of Faker or the top performances of Kiin – who was chosen to be the MVP of the final. But in fact, Faker had a “sorrowful” performance that no one discussed only the context that was at the foot of the wall. The captain of T1 himself also has many situations of making mistakes, especially the messenger driving in the decisive game.
Faker's Quadra Kill situation
Or like Kiin, he shines when the whole Gen.G team is holding many advantages. Perhaps anyone who plays the game is understood, when the home team is overwhelming, they will have a more comfortable mentality and thereby show better. Therefore, many opinions are also straightforward that: not Kiin or Faker, Chovy, but Gumayusi itself is really the best player in the final. There is even a straightforward view: If T1 won, FMVP would be none other than “Prince”.
But it was Gumayusi itself that was probably the best player in the last final
In all 5 games, it can be said that Gumayusi is the most stable player and there are also ecstatic situations that help teammates gain advantages. First, right from the stage, he “shut down” completely Peyz's young gunner Peyz.G. Even, Peyz lost to the level that Canyon came down to help it did not work. Then the culmination of T1 forced the Gen.G to release the article when Canyon used Kha'zix in game 4 decided. The fact that Canyon does not use the Tanker champion is a testament to the gene. And it was Gumayusi who directly disable Peyz.
He disabled Peyz right from the stage even when other T1 lines were forced
And it is from disabling Peyz right from the road stage, Gumayusi also creates a premise for himself to shine at all times, when T1 is pressed or when he can discharge damage. Gumayusi's ability to ride always help him surpass Peyz from one or more equipment in the fighting phase. Worth mentioning, Gumayusi not only does this one game, but all 5 games he is better than Peyz. Throughout the final, the moment Peyz shined was probably the last 5 seconds before the T1 main house exploded in game 5.
The excellence of Gumayusi helps him to always be compared to Peyz and contribute more clearly than the junior on the other side of the battle line.
Meanwhile, Gumayusi is even considered with Faker to create hope for T1. Even, even in game 5 when all T1's lines lost, Gumayusi still showed how he tried to hold hope for the home team. Unfortunately, “Swallow does not make spring” and Gumayusi and T1 still have to accept the result of failure.
Gumayusi efforts but also “impulsive force”
Perhaps Gumayusi will be extremely regretful when his efforts do not bring the championship for T1. But it was from this performance that Gumayusi seemed to have sent a strong message to MSI 2024: “Crown Prince” is in the best form and every team should be careful but Gumayusi's shooting when he is full of hope to complete his title collection with the MSI trophy in the upcoming capital.
