Faker Becomes Involved in the T1 – Smash – Gumayusi Drama
Recently, fans have been buzzing, especially after Faker’s comments following T1 VALORANT’s championship. The community eagerly awaits the Regular Seasons of 2025. Unfortunately, the LCK Cup has concluded, and T1 will not have the opportunity to participate in the First Stand. Meanwhile, the anticipation for T1’s roster changes is more significant than ever, especially with the upcoming important tournaments. However, a recent mistake by Riot has dragged Faker into a prolonged drama involving T1, Smash, and Gumayusi.
Specifically, in a recent update on Riot’s website regarding T1’s lineup, Smash unexpectedly found themselves in the supporting role while Poby was placed in the main roster. However, while Poby’s position was generally accepted, the error regarding Smash’s role caused significant controversy.
While many fans were delighted by Riot’s mistake, some T1 supporters were increasingly frustrated due to the ongoing drama, openly criticizing the organization or even suggesting that this was T1’s “scheme.” Regardless, public sentiment has begun to shift towards Smash, especially considering that he has effectively “called out” Faker in this situation.
Could Faker Also Be Unable to Unite Fans in This Drama?
Typically, in previous instances, Faker has often made statements to reassure his fans. However, at this point, despite having returned to streaming, he seems to be avoiding any comments regarding the escalating situation. It’s important to note that during the period when Zeus departed and T1 fans were solely critical of him, Faker even spoke up for his younger brother, making fans feel more sympathetic towards the departure of T1’s key player.
Whether Faker is reluctant to speak out or just doesn’t want to draw attention to himself remains a mystery. However, it seems that only when T1’s Regular Seasons lineup for 2025 is announced will we know if this drama will persist as one of the longest-lasting narratives this season.
