When mentioning Gumayusi at this moment, nearly everyone must admit that he is indeed an exceptionally talented ADC and has the potential to become a legend of T1 as well as the LCK in the future. Gumayusi embodies a perfect blend of youth, resilience, and a mindset for creating breakthroughs. Moreover, he is one of the players who can maintain the highest form, regardless of the circumstances.
The most regrettable thing for Gumayusi is that he continuously misses out on major titles. Since officially stepping into the first team of T1, he has only managed to secure the LCK Spring Championship 2022. Subsequently, despite reaching the finals of various tournaments he participated in, Gumayusi has yet to celebrate another victory.
Notably, since joining T1, Gumayusi has defeated quite a few ADCs from the LPL or those competing in LPL at that time. Notable names include GALA, Viper, and Hope. However, in a recent statement, the former EDG manager expressed disdain for ADC of T1. In his latest remarks, he stated, “I would rather sign contracts with Uzi or LPL ADCs like JackeyLove or Viper. Gumayusi is just a 6th or 7th tier ADC.”
The remarks from the former EDG manager have outraged LPL fans. This is because the players he listed have not had a good season. Meanwhile, Gumayusi continues to shine even in Faker’s absence. Not to mention, JackeyLove and Uzi recently missed out on qualifying for Worlds 2023. Their lackluster performance is a significant reason why Top Esports and EDG will be staying home. Some even bluntly stated, “At least Gumayusi has not lost to any teams from VCS.”
Therefore, it seems quite unreasonable to compare Gumayusi with LPL ADCs. Moreover, Gumayusi has participated in numerous finals with T1, which is the most compelling evidence of his talent in the world of League of Legends.
