Gumayusi performed extremely well in game 1 of T1 – DK match.
In the past, T1 has encountered many difficulties and they had to go down to the regional qualifiers once again to keep their hopes of participating in the 2024 World Championship alive. However, T1 also has a slight advantage in that they only need to win exactly 1 match here to go to London right away. And in the first match, T1's opponent, Dplus KIA, is also a tough opponent but they have never won against T1 with all members. In such a context, DK still caused many difficulties in game 1. The only thing is, T1 still has Gumayusi.
T1's ADC can be said to have taken the spotlight in this match. Not only is he the main damage dealer, he is also T1's “second Smite”. The two plays that brought T1 the first Earth Dragon and the Elder Dragon later helped T1 win against DK. It can be said that Gumayusi's Smite in game 1 was probably more standard than many Junglers in the LCK.
World audiences were also amazed by Gumayusi
Needless to say, the LoL community exploded at Gumayusi's performance. Many people were not afraid to say that Gumayusi was the real Jungler of T1 in the first game against DK. Because Gumayusi's two objective steals were extremely important. In particular, the Elder Dragon buff directly brought the final victory to T1 in the context of their difficulties.
And many T1 fans are looking forward to Gumayusi continuing this streak and bringing more victories to T1. It doesn't matter who Smite wins, but perhaps for Gumayusi, stealing objectives and bringing victory to the team is even more meaningful.
