Since EWC 2024, it has been a “dark time” for T1 as the team has lost 3 out of 4 matches played. In particular, while the loss in the first round of the LCK Summer 2024 group stage against Hanwha Life Esports could be seen as somewhat fortunate for the opponent, the subsequent loss and the matchup against BNK FearX were entirely due to the performance of the players. In the match against HLE in the second round of the group stage, no one could see the semblance of a great team in the gameplay of T1 players. Therefore, it is completely understandable that they suffered a swift defeat against HLE.
After a series of criticized names, recently, the player considered the most stable in T1, Gumayusi, has also been “called out” by LPL fans. Some LPL viewers discovered that Gumayusi has recently been playing many games casually with a female account. Of course, with the “detective” skills of these “internet sleuths”, the identity of the girl playing with Gumayusi was quickly uncovered. Familiar to T1 fans, she is Hyera – a girl with a cute and lovely appearance who is notably the ex-girlfriend of Gumayusi.
– Gumayusi needs to reflect on himself because his performance in the match was affected when he played with that girl
– After losing to HLE, instead of reviewing the match and training, he went to play games with his girlfriend. So disappointing
– It’s understandable that Gumayusi plays games with a girl, but it’s unacceptable to do so right after losing a game
– No surprise that T1 lost to HLE. Gumayusi
For those who have been following T1 for a long time, it is well-known that Gumayusi and Hyera once spent time together. Although they have not officially acknowledged it, neither have denied the rumors. However, after breaking up with Gumayusi for a while, Hyera ended up with Willer. Unfortunately, Willer inadvertently revealed this on-air, leading to Hyera being criticized, and shortly after, the couple also broke up. With Hyera and Gumayusi gaming together, LPL fans are claiming that Gumayusi is not focusing on his competitive play, causing T1’s disastrous defeats.
However, in reality, Gumayusi remains T1’s best-performing player lately. Moreover, his lack of proficiency with Ezreal is completely normal, as it is nearly impossible for any player to master a champion they have only used a couple of times against top-tier opponents. Furthermore, League of Legends is a team game, and if a team goes in the wrong direction, the responsibility lies with all members of that team, not just any individual.
Moreover, the action of judging Gumayusi’s gaming with Hyera as the reason for T1’s failure indirectly negates the efforts of HLE and FOX players, as they clearly won simply because they played better than T1.
