Faker’s Incident Shocks the League of Legends Community
As we know, right after the recent match against Gen.G, the news surrounding T1 mainly revolves around the surprising actions of Faker in the team meeting. The community is buzzing as this may be one of the rare moments they can witness a calm King of Demons lose his composure like that.
Notably, this is not a time when he is young and inexperienced, but rather a seasoned player who has experienced numerous ups and downs. Of course, in the context of this player displaying emotions, one of the factors that the audience is most interested in is the reaction of teammates and the coaching staff around him. Immediately, the response has given many people a glimmer of hope for T1’s future.
Quick Reaction from Gumayusi to Faker
Specifically, right when the Demon King was harming himself, Gumayusi was the quickest to react, as he tightly hugged his elder and pulled him away from the wall. While other members were still in shock, Gumayusi continued to calm his senior. It can be said that Gumayusi’s actions were not only timely but also showed T1 fans the semblance of a true leader for the future. Because, the Demon King will certainly retire in the not-too-distant future, and typically, calming players is the job of the coaching staff or the leader. In this case, Gumayusi excelled.
For his part, Gumayusi is gradually showing the necessary composure and confidence of a top player in a major team like T1. Moreover, in recent times, he has consistently been the name maintaining the best form, regardless of T1’s ups and downs. Even when he had to step back to play the role of “ADC bait,” Gumayusi still performed his part to the best of his ability. In the recent match against Gen.G, Gumayusi was also the top-performing player in both games and received the highest ratings from the LPL audience within the T1 lineup.
Of course, while the Demon King is still around, it is too early to say that Gumayusi will be a leader of T1. But perhaps, T1 understands that they need to focus on developing their player to prepare for a future without the Demon King. And perhaps no one is more suitable than Gumayusi – a name that has fully demonstrated the qualities of a true leader and deeply embodies the T1 culture.
