The Stunning Performance of Gumayusi in a Different Light
In the recent loss of T1 against HLE, an unexpected situation caught the attention of League of Legends fans. During a skirmish near T1’s Blue Buff, Delight’s Renata caught Smash off-guard, forcing him to turn around and target Keria. This moment sparked debate among T1 fans, with many commenting, “If Gumayusi had been there, Keria wouldn’t have been in such a precarious position.”
Indeed, it has happened numerous times that the supports have been caught off-guard by Renata’s ability, and Gumayusi was no exception. However, there have also been moments showcasing Gumayusi’s sharp decision-making skills to ensure that the team doesn’t get affected by the impact of Renata’s crowd control.
For instance, fans recently “recalled” a clip where Gumayusi’s Jhin fell victim to Renata’s ability. At that time, Gumayusi was using Jhin with four basic shots ready, and the final shot would land after a potential hit. However, upon seeing Renata throw her final ability, Gumayusi quickly fired that last shot, and when hit by the ability, Jhin returned to a state of damage.
Gumayusi’s Support: Fans Need to Stay Calm
With the Fearless Draft on the line, T1’s decision to rotate Smash with Gumayusi sparked numerous opinions from T1 supporters and Smash himself. However, given T1’s current management style, even seasoned professionals find it hard to understand. Nonetheless, Smash had no issue regarding “replacing Gumayusi.” He simply might not have performed well during the match.
Many fans are currently very emotional regarding T1’s performance. However, supporters should avoid excessively enthusiastic actions. Gumayusi’s presence is essential, but also be cautious not to turn it into a blame game against Smash.
