Unexpected perspectives surrounding the drama T1 – Gumayusi
In the last days of the 2024 lunar year, the League of Legends community was “upset” by the T1 – Gumayusi drama when this team suddenly benched the ADC born in 2002 without prior notice in the match against KT Rolster. Besides the controversy, many viewers have also come up with “conspiracy theories” behind T1's “strange” actions.
Gumayusi's incident made many fans think “conspiracy theory”.
First, in a positive way, on social network In the period after having a rather forgettable 2014 season with SKT T1, SKT T1 then used Faker – EasyHoon alternately. By 2021, Faker continues to experience the feeling of being on the bench.
There is an opinion that T1 did this so that Gumayusi could practice his bravery like Faker in the past.
Although the reasons for each period are different, it has been shown that even Faker may have to play alternately to serve the coach's tactics, and Gumayusi is no exception. According to some audience opinions, this could be a “preparation” move for Gumayusi if in the future T1 will indeed build him into a new visual to replace Faker.
However, with some more negative fans, there are predictions that T1 will let Gumayusi return in the upcoming match against Gen.G. And of course, with a very strong opponent like Gen.G, the possibility of T1 failing will be higher. At that time, the pressure on Gumayusi will be much greater. It may even be an action to “legalize” T1's rotation for this Gunner.
But it's also possible that T1 will let Gumayusi play in the match against Gen.G and “legalize” the roster rotation.
Regardless, Gumayusi will still take on a big challenge at T1 in the near future
Not only the results, Gumayusi himself will probably also have to fight for his official position if T1 maintains its intention to rotate the squad. However, this is a challenge that perhaps every player needs to face to improve their own abilities.
And this is also the time when Gumayusi needs to prove his bravery. If he can really overcome the difficult period, perhaps then he will truly be recognized as worthy of inheriting Faker's role at T1 in the future.
