Gumayusi’s “Incredible” Achievements at Worlds
Thus, at this point, T1 continues to uphold their “tradition” every time they participate in Worlds, which is to never stop before reaching the Semifinals. In fact, T1’s victory was absolutely perfect in both gameplay and player performance. Top Esports had some reactions, but T1 was better and calmer. Especially in games 2 and 3 when T1 allowed TES to maintain a balanced game and struck the final blow in the decisive phase.
In such a match, every T1 player performed excellently, but the name that must be mentioned is Gumayusi. Specifically, throughout all 3 games, the 2002-born AD Carry was never taken down, even when he used a champion with relatively low mobility, Caitlyn. But the “God of War” Gumayusi is even more frightening, as the 3 games against TES have brought his total number of games without being taken down in BO5 matches at Worlds to 7.
Specifically, starting from game 4 against JD Gaming in the Semifinals of Worlds 2023 until now, Gumayusi has not been taken down again as T1 entered the playoffs, which means the BO5 matches. This is truly a remarkable achievement, and so far no other AD Carry has accomplished this.
Gumayusi’s Performance Can Play a Key Role in T1’s Worlds Journey
At this year’s Worlds, strong teams always have an AD Carry who can deal damage and position well in team fights. At the same time, the team ensures enough resources for that AD Carry to shine. In some recent matches, Gumayusi has been able to play according to this style, and he has not disappointed his teammates or fans. The 2002-born AD Carry will be a quality weapon for T1 in the upcoming Semifinals, no matter who the opponent is.
At this point, it can be said that T1 is in very high form. And witnessing T1’s victory over TES, perhaps Gen.G, FlyQuest, and other opponents in the remaining bracket are the ones who should feel anxious.
