Gumayusi “challenges” the powerful Ruler
In the T1 squad, if you have to remind the most confident player in the present, perhaps most LoL audience will think of Gumayusi immediately. The gunner born in 2002 always keeps a positive spirit and is not afraid to show confidence in the opponents. Worth mentioning, what he does is grounded and recently, Gumayusi has a speech that is considered implicitly sent “challenging” to the Ruler seniors.
In terms of confidence, perhaps not much more players than Gumayusi
Specifically, in a recent statement on the occasion of LCK Cup 2025 preparing to start, Gumayusi shared: “I feel that the Ruler is even stronger than before. Many other gunners are showing very strong. But as the only gunner who is playing with two World Championships, I will try my best to protect my values.”
Gumayusi sent declaration to rivals and especially Ruler
It can be said that emphasizing the two World Championships is not only an act of asserting his talents from Gumayusi but also a “challenge” to target other gunner, especially Ruler. Because, Ruler also had a World Championship and in 2023, he also approached the second trophy in his career without Faker's “sorrowful” Shurima Shuffle and Gumayusi's great performance.
Without this Shurima Shuffle, the Ruler would probably have a second time champion World Championship
Gumayusi – Ruler will be a very expected confrontation
Back to LCK after more than 1 year, Ruler will still be an extremely formidable name. Because, during the JDG jacket, he showed the ability to “carry the team” strongly. Ruler's goal may still be Golden Road and now, his teammates at Gen.G are obviously more quality than JDG.
The audience is looking forward to this confrontation to be recreated
But since Gumayusi debuted and became an important factor of T1, Ruler himself was often his “defeat”. And when T1 confronted Gen.G, it is likely that the performance of these two superstars will determine the success or failure of the two most powerful teams LCK today.
