Fans of T1 in Vietnam “Go Big” Making Gumayusi Emotional
These days, it can be said that this is the most challenging phase for Gumayusi. Not only has he faced criticism regarding T1’s LCK Cup 2025 performance, but the 2002-born player has also become part of the drama due to the “unexpected behavior” from the management. However, T1 fans, especially Gumayusi’s supporters, have sent him encouraging messages. Recently, T1 fans in Vietnam decided to “go big” by donating over 5,000 balloons during Gumayusi’s stream.
Specifically, the donation event took place recently with the content: “Gumayusi, the ‘King of the Jungle,’ Vietnamese fans are here for you. Please take this money (the number of donated balloons) and buy food, eat and drink well; we will always support you.”
For those who may not know, the balloon packages during the stream where T1 players perform have considerable value converted to Vietnamese currency. For instance, a package of 500 balloons is worth about 1,050,000 VND. Therefore, with 5,000 balloons donated in just a short time, Vietnamese fans contributed over 10 million VND to Gumayusi.
Gumayusi himself was also taken aback by the “huge” donation. After thanking in Korean, he then expressed his gratitude in Vietnamese, which endeared him further to many T1 fans. On various platforms, numerous Korean fans have also sent their thanks to Vietnamese fans for supporting Gumayusi during this challenging time.
Fans of T1 and Gumayusi Can Only Escape the Drama until Regular Seasons
T1 has recently won two championships at the World Championship, but they have also been caught up in a whirlwind of drama, with Gumayusi being the most affected. Nevertheless, he maintains a professional demeanor, which evokes sympathy from many fans.
However, if T1 continues to remain silent as they currently are, the support from fans may not hold much meaning. It’s likely that only when T1 announces the roster for the upcoming Regular Season will both T1 fans and Gumayusi have a clearer vision for the future, especially as they look forward to the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025.
