Even Korean media also “accused” Gumayusi and T1 ridiculous
Recently, a newspaper title in Korea has made the League of Legends community in general and T1/Gumayusi fans in particular indignant. Because, the newspaper questioned the statement of CEO of T1 Joe Marsh that “must personally propose and discuss Gumayusi in the starting lineup of Regular Seasons 2025”. Even the article also decided to capture T1 CEOs for abuse and Gumayusi relies on the relationship to have a fight. The action can create a bad precedent that pulls the eSports background,” the newspaper accused Gumayusi and CEO T1.
A League of Legends community in Vietnam translated the article “Pursuing to kill” Gumayusi.
This makes even neutral League of Legends audience or not too much love Gumayusi feels difficult to understand if not pressing. Granted, Gumayusi sometimes plays less than expected, but if so that is to see this player as a rookie or a less talented man, perhaps at least 70% of the current gunner in League of Legends are not worthy of playing anymore.
While Gumayusi simply regained his right position – who was the reigning champion of Worlds 2024 and was the MVP of the semi -final against Gen.G.
Next, the article confirmed “Gumayusi is falling in form”. But in fact, in 2025, he only played 2 official matches at the LCK Cup. With 1 win – 1 loss result, that is simply enough to evaluate anyone. Even before and now, Gumayusi is still the reigning World Championship.
The media called for “fairness” but forgot that Gumayusi was reserve after only 2 matches with 1 win – 1 loss in the LCK Cup 2025.
An audience frankly said: “Still not understanding what to attack Gumayusi? Why is a player who is the defending champion Worlds, 2 Worlds Cups, returning to his position that he pulls the eSports downstairs? Gumayusi has not affects that level and the fact that Smash is not sitting on the reserve is not sure that T1 or League of Legends has failed.”
The audience is also annoyed with the article.
And as always, T1 still has no move for Gumayusi
Perhaps there is no need to say, the article has appeared for at least 3 days and T1 is still … silent as every other drama has exploded since the end of 2024 to the present. Maybe the team is also struggling with the troubles caused by themselves, or for another reason that perhaps only BLD T1 is known. But it can be said that beliefs are gradually exhausted for T1 fans and maybe many people are still looking forward to this season quickly passed so that the parties “liberated” each other.
