Gumayusi “Goes All Out” Ahead of BLG
It can be said that T1 has kicked off MSI 2025 in a way that has taken many by surprise. After defeating HLE, no one expected Faker and his teammates to face a daunting challenge ahead against Bilibili Gaming (BLG). However, after achieving their first target, the T1 team is now gearing up for their next matches against a very formidable opponent – Bilibili Gaming. Nevertheless, in the post-match interview, Gumayusi remained very confident.

According to his comments, T1’s Head Coach affirmed, “We will give BLG a run for their money at the World Championship next year.” There are many who still doubt, especially after BLG managed to lead T1 2-1 after the third match. However, with the outstanding performance of all five members, led by Faker, T1 turned the tide and claimed victory, continuing their streak of second consecutive championship titles at the World Championship.
Additionally, Gumayusi also praised CFO and player Doggo significantly. “CFO really showed a very unexpected playstyle today, surpassing everything I imagined T1 would do. It can be said that even though each match had its own ups and downs for the losing team, we also had some valuable experiences,” he stated.

However, Gumayusi and T1 Can’t Underestimate
Despite having such confidence, they cannot overlook the strength of BLG, which is far greater than CFO. If it weren’t for some “clutch” moments from Faker, T1 might have had to accept defeat. Previously, in the MSI group stage in many recent seasons, BLG had managed to dominate T1 with Gumayusi’s performance. If this time the situation is repeated, it may not be too far-fetched.

However, before every match, it is hard to determine what the outcome will be, especially when both teams are in such a strong condition at this moment. As before, the T1 – BLG match will likely be decided by the brilliant moments of both teams’ superstars.
