Gumayusi Still Aims for the “Underdog” Status with T1 in the 2025 Season
In the context of T1 currently undergoing significant changes, it is clear that the competitive scene is intensifying, with the slogan “underdog” becoming prevalent. T1 is not lacking in talent compared to other teams, but their performance seems uncertain and lacks clear direction. Even the personnel decisions within T1 remain tentative. However, in this evolving landscape, Gumayusi appears to maintain a positive mindset amidst the ongoing drama surrounding T1.
According to reports, during a recent stream, Gumayusi shared some notable insights: “Arriving at the World Championship and using Fearless Draft will certainly create a significant impact. But it is crucial to have a solid draft strategy for the skins we choose.”
With this statement, it seems that Gumayusi remains quite optimistic about T1’s prospects this year. In fact, this is a key point for the team. Since the beginning of this season, one could argue that after Faker, Gumayusi is the most stable and resilient player. He continues to be a source of strength, often calming the fans of this team during difficult times.
However, the reality is quite challenging for T1, including Gumayusi
Despite everyone seeing Gumayusi’s unwavering spirit, it is clear that T1’s current situation is quite difficult, and Gumayusi feels the same way. The team is still uncertain about qualifying for the future tournaments. Additionally, T1’s chances of performing well at MSI are diminishing. Recently, HLE and Gen.G have shown very strong performances, while DK is also becoming a significant threat.
If the current situation continues, there is no doubt that T1 risks being “knocked out” of the World Championship. This year has been different, as there are many stronger and more stable teams that can make the journey to the World Championship extremely challenging. The factors that have weakened T1 could lead to significant changes within the team.
