Gumayusi has a surprising reaction to the attacks from anti-fans
As we know, in recent days, alongside the T1 fan community and Gumayusi’s fans eagerly awaiting the celebration of this player’s 5th debut anniversary, we cannot forget the attacks from his hardcore anti-fans on T1Gall. As usual, funeral cars and wreaths accompanied by provocative banners and messages flooded T1’s headquarters. However, this is the first time Gumayusi has publicly addressed the incident.
According to Gumayusi, he has also seen the series of funeral wreaths and protest banners against him but was not affected at all. The T1 marksman shared: “When I went out to get my hair cut, I saw those wreaths. Fans often remind me to focus on the positives, so I just let it go. The only thing is when I got home, I saw those wreaths blown over by the wind, it looked quite funny.”
Gumayusi’s optimism shows that he may have been aware of these incidents for a long time, but they no longer impact the mentality of the T1 player. Moreover, anyone who has followed T1 for a long time knows that Gumayusi has one of the strongest mentalities on the team, perhaps only second to Faker. During T1’s decline in 2023 and 2024, only Gumayusi consistently livestreamed to reassure the team’s fans.
Gumayusi is in a challenging phase
After a period of explosive performance and extremely stable gameplay from the Road to MSI 2025 up to the match against Gen.G, Gumayusi and the entire T1 team are showing signs of stagnation. Specifically, in the return match against Gen.G, it witnessed for the first time since his debut, T1’s bot lane lost lane in almost all three games. Only in game 2 did they have a slight advantage in the first 5-6 minutes of the game.
The upcoming playoffs and then the World Championship will be extremely important for Gumayusi and T1. If they win, it will not only help T1 break their “drought” of domestic titles but could also be a good foundation for the mission of defending their World Championship title in China soon.
