Gumayusi “challenged” Ruler very strongly
In the T1 squad, if you have to mention the most confident player at the moment, perhaps most LoL audiences will immediately think of Gumayusi. The Gunner born in 2002 always maintains a positive spirit and is not afraid to show confidence before opponents. Worth mentioning, everything he did was well-founded and recently, Gumayusi made a speech that was seen as implicitly sending a “challenge” to his senior Ruler.
Specifically, in a recent statement on the occasion of the 2025 LCK Cup preparing to start, Gumayusi shared: “I feel that Mr. Ruler is even stronger than before. Many other ADCs are also showing very strong. But with the attitude As the only ADC currently competing with 2 World Championships, I will try my best to protect my value.”
It can be said that the emphasis on two World Championships is not only an act of asserting his own talent from Gumayusi but also a “challenge” aimed at other ADCs, especially Ruler. Because, Ruler also has a World Championship and in 2023, he will also be very close to winning the second trophy in his career if it weren't for Faker's “miraculous” Shurima Shuffle and Gumayusi's ultimate performance.
Gumayusi – Ruler will be a very desirable match
Returning to LCK after more than a year, Ruler will still be an extremely formidable name. Because, during his time with JDG, he showed a strong ability to “carry the team”. Ruler's goal will probably still be Golden Road and currently, his teammates at Gen.G are clearly much better quality than JDG.
But since Gumayusi debuted and became an important factor of T1, Ruler himself has often been his “defeated general”. And when T1 confronts Gen.G, it is likely that the performance of these two superstars will determine the success or failure of the two most powerful teams in the LCK today.
