Opponent Coach Also Praises Gumayusi
At Worlds 2025, T1’s performance fluctuated until they reached the Knockout stage, causing concern among fans. In fact, during the crucial match against AL, T1 had to push the game to a fifth match before securing victory. This tournament also marks the consistent brilliance of Gumayusi. In the fifth game against AL, the performance of the 2002-born AD Carry deserves a perfect score of 10. AL’s coach Tabe praised Gumayusi without reservation.
According to Coach Tabe of AL, he admitted: “Varus was blind picked by T1. You know, for me, Varus is an average AD champion, but in Gumayusi’s hands, the difference is huge compared to the rest. In the match against us, he won with every precise arrow. Sivir can counter Varus, but just watch. However, if we reverse it, let us pick Varus and Gumayusi play Sivir, he would simply dominate, and you would have no chance at all.”
At the same time, AL’s coach believes that T1’s mentality is very strong and their spirit is remarkable. This is also a crucial factor that is considered to help T1 maintain their peak performances and potentially win the championship this year at Worlds.
Gumayusi Is Also the “S Tier” of the End-of-Season 2025 Transfer Market
With his performance, coupled with his contract ending on November 16, Gumayusi is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about names in the end-of-season 2025 transfer market. However, as of now, neither the player nor T1 has made any moves.
If Gumayusi chooses to stay, it will almost certainly be a lucrative contract, possibly with conditions that require T1 to protect this player from the negative pressure from T1Gall throughout the year. But if Gumayusi decides to leave, it would also be a “blockbuster” transfer and could significantly weaken T1.
