Gumayusi Continues to Face Unfortunate Events
As we know, this moment is extremely challenging for T1’s ADC – Gumayusi. He still cannot return to T1’s official lineup. In fact, even after moving with the team to LoL Park, Gumayusi was only allowed to sit in the waiting room with the coaching staff. The disappointment is clearly evident, from Gumayusi himself to his fans.
However, Gumayusi’s bad luck has not ended. Recently, after T1 resumed the livestream schedule for the players, Gumayusi was one of the four T1 members who would go live. However, while Faker was also livestreaming, Gumayusi got DDoSed while Faker continued to rank normally.
Although Riot has tried to help T1 resolve the DDoS attack issue, it seems that the situation is still not completely resolved. Unfortunately for Gumayusi, last week was also his birthday. One could say he celebrated his new age in a “rock bottom” mood.
Both Gumayusi and his fans probably feel a pang of sadness
Even though T1 and the fans threw a birthday celebration for Gumayusi, it is clear that he is not experiencing complete joy. The inability to compete and the DDoS issue only exacerbate the situation. Clearly, many things are not in Gumayusi’s favor, and it is hard for both his fans and anyone else to rationalize.
But perhaps, “after the rain comes the sunshine”. The upcoming match between T1 and Hanwha Life Esports will be a tense BO5, with the opponent being Viper. The HLE team will also have significantly more stability than Gen.G as all positions have ample experience. At that time, it will likely mark Gumayusi’s return when facing the reigning LCK champions might be a bit too much for Smash.
