T1’s Management Again Takes Actions to “Irritate” Fans
After a relatively stable early stage in Rounds 3-5, T1 has experienced some hiccups since securing their spot in the playoffs. However, they still achieved victories, and aside from the KT match, T1 fans probably can’t complain too much. Nevertheless, ADC Gumayusi has become a target for the anti-fan group T1Gall. In addition to being “indifferent” to this negative wave, T1’s management has further “irritated” T1 fans in general, and Gumayusi’s fans in particular, recently.
According to reports, just a few days away from Gumayusi’s 5th debut anniversary, T1 fans in Vietnam are preparing a series of activities, including LED boards and viewing parties to support the player. However, after submitting a request to T1, the organization went… silent for over 14 days as per their own guidelines. Consequently, a series of LED boards had to be removed. The estimated damage is around 25 million VND.
It wasn’t until the Gumayusi fan community in both Vietnam and South Korea erupted in a wave of protest that T1 finally responded to the email and approved the activities. However, the financial damage incurred cannot be recovered. In fact, according to insiders, the compensation amount could be even higher if T1 had not responded.
Fans are likely predicting changes for T1 by the end of the year
With the developments that began during Zeus’s transfer window until now, T1 fans and the LoL community are likely anticipating significant changes from T1’s management. After a long period of calm, the team’s management has repeatedly made “ground-shaking” moves that directly affect both the players and the fans.
Major changes are almost certain to occur at the end of this season and may very well determine T1’s fate in the coming years, at least until Faker’s contract expires again in 2029.
