There is information that the gunner of VCS decry T1 and Gumayusi
At the present time, T1 is facing many doubts and especially when they have just lost to Hanwha Life Esports in playoffs to raise hope in the losing branch. But anyway, T1 still has a chance and that Dplus has long been no longer a name that can make T1 tremble. However, on many forums, there have been many criticisms towards T1 players. Recently, one more character (temporarily called C.) – the veteran gunner of VCS is said to have shared towards T1 and especially Gu Gumayusi. However, this person's share has quite a lot of negative implications for Faker and his teammates.
The audience quoted a share on the stream of a character who used to be a former professional gunner of VCS
Worth mentioning, one of the shares cited by the community, with the current T1 content if the disband will no one looks at the remaining players except Zeus. In addition, this person thinks that the gunner is still the current champion of World Worlds is just a player “only know Spam A and never know how to play Zeri” so it will not be comparable with Viper (HLE's gunner and has just won against T1 of Gumayusi). The sharing of the former VCS player immediately caused fierce controversy in the Vietnamese League of Legends community.
This person specially shared directly on Gumayusi
And caused the community to argue fiercely
The reality of t1 and gumayusi
First, it is necessary to affirm, throughout many seasons, Gumayusi is always considered the most stable player of T1. If in the summer of 2024, T1 somewhat decline in form, then in the previous spring, HLE was not the opponent of the defending champion of Worlds. Even the only victory of HLE against T1 in the spring tournament is also extremely scratched. And in all the confrontations in the spring of 2024, Gumayusi completely superior to Viper. Only in the summer of 2024, when the entire T1 squad slipped, of course Gumayusi himself could not resist. Especially when there are many matches, he himself has to use the generals that are not really pure ads, such as Seraphine in the recent match.
T1 in recent seasons is not the team that revolves around the AD
The next important thing, T1 in recent seasons has never been the team that chose the game around the gunner when they have too many names that can “carry” damage, such as Zeus, Faker or even Keria. Therefore, Gumayusi's parameters are not really as beautiful as many rival colleagues. Even when the gunner Meta ascended the throne, T1 almost refused this game and Gumayusi itself in the summer of 2024 has many times only used Senna – a “Semi ad” general that needs a lot of resources to become effective.
Many generals of Gumayusi were chosen because of the team's tactics rather than his forte
Meanwhile, Viper from returning to LCK has been defaulted to be the center in HLE's gameplay. Only thing, this player himself does not always maintain high form. Moreover, his teammates around him can only beat well if they meet the appropriate meta. Right in the 2024 Summer group stage is the example when HLE shows signs of decline in the final stage. And the match against T1 is only the latest bright spot of HLE recent matches. They really caught up and how Viper will show it, perhaps the match against Gen.G is the right reagent for HLE.
Meanwhile, HLE has been consistent with the game around Viper
There is still an opinion underestimating Faker's role at T1
An evidence cited by the fans from the former VCS gunner is “When Faker injured, the remaining 4 players played poorly so no one would need the remaining players of T1”. However, this evidence is completely inappropriate when there are many cult characters of the experts of League of Legends also identified Faker's role in T1 not only a mid lane or captain Call Team like players like Peanut (HLE), Lehendss (Gen.G). In T1, Faker is simply the soul and the brain of the team, as well as the spiritual leader. Even when Faker was present, he could imagine him also radiating a “Haki Ba Vuong” so that other opponents had to humble T1.
Fan's quote also pointed out that the former VCS player said that the T1 members left the team will not accept because they lack Faker, they beat poorly
Therefore, when Faker is absent, not only T1 is somewhat like “snakes lose their heads” but their opponents themselves are also more confident that they will win. Not to mention, a cohesive League of Legends team is the match of all 5 members. Just a rhythmic link, all will go in the wrong direction. Poby himself at that time was both inexperienced, and burdened the pressure to replace Faker, and in a bad form (T1 Challengers at that time was ranked near the last LCK CL ranking), and unable to coordinate with Oner. With such a middle axis, T1 has poor competition is also understandable.
But in fact, Poby in the 2023 phase is clearly not replacing Faker in any respect and the remaining 4 members cannot “carry” Poby is normal.
Conclude
T1 and Gumayusi are experiencing a difficult period and they themselves have just defeated the weak battle against HLE, this is the truth that no one denies. However, perhaps it is necessary to remember clearly: Even if the period they suffered suspicion from the League of Legends community (even the T1 fans themselves), they won the World Championship. Now, that doubt may be more. But when the matches have not happened, it will be too early to make any comments, especially the negative ideas no matter what the purpose is.
