Gumayusi Left Another Mark on His Official Farewell from T1
As of now, many T1 fans have likely come to terms with Gumayusi no longer being a member of the team. However, it can be said that since Faker, it has been a long time since the League of Legends community has witnessed a player from T1 who has created as much impact and reputation as Gumayusi did. Notably, on the very day he announced his departure from T1, Gumayusi also made a mark: he became the player with the most viewed clip in T1’s history.
Specifically, as of now, the clip of Gumayusi officially announcing his farewell to T1, which is also the last clip he recorded in the colors of the reigning champions of the 2025 World Championship, has surpassed 2 million views. This clip is now the highest viewed in T1’s history since the team created their YouTube channel. Previously, this record belonged to the clip announcing Faker’s contract extension until 2029, which garnered over 1.4 million views.
T1 is Not Only Losing Gumayusi but Also Losing a Brand
Since the launch of the T1 youth team, Gumayusi has built an image as a talented yet confident player. It can be said that he is almost a younger, and somewhat more boastful version compared to “Uncle” Faker. However, Gumayusi has shown that his confidence is well-founded, making even neutral fans admire this marksman. On the day Gumayusi left T1, even fans of rival teams might feel regret for the 2025 World Championship MVP.
Of course, replacing Gumayusi in the marksman position is a straightforward task, and Peyz will be able to take on this role. However, with what Gumayusi has left behind at T1 and for the League of Legends community, this story cannot be achieved overnight. It may take a long time for T1 to find a player with the necessary qualities to become the future visual if one day Faker truly wants to leave the professional scene.
