Gumayusi “boasts loudly” towards BLG
It can be said that T1 started MSI 2025 in a way that surprised many. After demolishing HLE, no one expected Faker and his teammates to struggle so much to overcome the APAC representative. However, with the first goal accomplished, T1’s players have every right to think about the upcoming matches, with their next opponent being equally challenging – Bilibili Gaming. Nevertheless, in the post-match interview, Gumayusi remained very confident.
Accordingly, T1’s AD Carry confidently stated: “We will make them (BLG) experience the nightmare from last year’s World Championship again.” Perhaps many still remember, at that time BLG was also ahead of T1 2-1 after the third game. But with the excellence of all five members, led by Faker, T1 came back and won as well as clinched their second consecutive World Championship title.
In addition, Gumayusi also praised CFO and Doggo personally. “CFO really showed a very surprising performance today, surpassing even what we imagined. It can be said that although each game was a one-sided match for the winning team, we also had some interesting experiences.”
But Gumayusi and T1 should not be complacent
Although there is a certain confidence, it cannot be denied that BLG is much stronger than CFO. And without Faker’s “godlike” plays, T1 might have actually faced defeat. Moreover, in recent MSI seasons, BLG has consistently defeated T1. If this happens again, it might not be too surprising.
But before each match, it will be hard to predict anything, especially when the opponents are all very strong teams at this time. And like previous encounters, the T1 – BLG match may only be decided by the genius moments of the superstars from both teams.
