Gumayusi’s future becomes a top concern after leaving T1
Recently, contrary to the expectations of T1 fans and the excitement of the League of Legends community in general, the first “blockbuster” of the 2025 transfer season has exploded, bringing shocking news that Gumayusi has decided to leave T1. Thus, the final Marksman of the SKT T1 dynasty, the most deserving heir to carry on the legacy of the legend Bang, has also left T1. And now, his future has become a top priority topic.
Of course, leaving T1, with his established stature and status, Gumayusi is not lacking in interest from top-tier League of Legends teams. However, one important note: if Gumayusi wants to compete for a spot in the 2026 ASIAD, along with potentially being exempt from mandatory service if he wins a gold medal, he will need to stay in the LCK. Currently, HLE is a strong candidate for the “new home for Gumayusi.”
Regarding Gumayusi, this could also be the best place for him, ensuring many factors regarding title competition, a spot in the ASIAD, salary… Moreover, Gumayusi will still have the opportunity to team up with quality teammates. Of course, it may not have the deep bond like T1 – Gumayusi, but it will be better than other options, including moving abroad to the LPL.
A Surprising Name Mentioned to Replace Gumayusi at T1
Amidst the community still grappling with mixed feelings about the news of Gumayusi, a surprising name has been mentioned: Peyz. According to some sources from quite reputable names in the League of Legends community, Peyz may be the one to inherit the Marksman position at T1 that Gumayusi has left behind. This can also be seen as a quality and promising choice.
Regardless of Gumayusi’s choice and who T1 will have to replace the 2002-born Marksman, November 17, 2025, is a sad day for T1 fans in general and Gumayusi fans in particular. But this is Gumayusi’s choice, and perhaps fans need to understand and continue to support him on his future path ahead.
