Gumayusi’s Disappointment: T1’s Struggles Continue
After yet another defeat against OKSavingsBank BRION recently, Gumayusi and T1 faced their sixth defeat in a BO3 series and one game was swapped in during their match against BNK FearX. It can be said that this team is expected to surprise, especially if anyone brings them into the 2025 season’s playoffs. However, not only that, Gumayusi’s “disappointment” and inability to recover are prompting the team to seek out alternatives to T1’s strategy.
According to statistics, Gumayusi is likely to remain the target for blame in the top position, and the team will strive to find ways to improve their performance in the upcoming battles. Out of a total of 12 games that T1 participated in, he has secured victories in 6 (50%)—the highest win rate among all top players.
It’s not just about the statistics, but also the critical psychological aspect. Gumayusi’s tendency to play aggressively and frequently engage in risky situations could help his team secure important victories, but it can also lead to significant losses. Other players like Ruler and Aiming have effectively utilized this aggressive strategy.
Not Just T1, But Gumayusi Must Also Exercise Caution
Most of the scenarios where Gumayusi typically excels involve characters that can farm minions quickly and deal damage effectively, especially in the late game. Therefore, he could be seen as a key player. However, these scenarios often lack support, and if he chooses champions like Jhin, Miss Fortune, or Caitlyn, they are likely to fall behind.
Gumayusi remains well-known for his frequent misplays, which have significantly impacted the team’s performance. This is a critical point for this team, as both he and T1 have encountered challenges multiple times, often leading to unfavorable outcomes. Mistakes in the early game can be corrected, but sometimes the issues persist and lead to T1’s downfall, leaving Gumayusi and his teammates unable to recover.
