Gumayusi’s Heartfelt Actions After T1’s Loss
In a match that stirred the emotions of many fans, the BO5 showdown between T1 and Hanwha Life Esports unfolded dramatically, drawing approximately 60 thousand viewers. T1 faced a disappointing defeat with a score of 2-3. Despite not achieving victory, Gumayusi emerged as a prominent figure, particularly with his heartfelt actions at the end of the match.
According to reports, Gumayusi made an appearance after the match to support his teammates. Notably, he also wore the jersey of Doran, T1’s new recruit for 2025. This match marked the first official tournament for the HLE star in a T1 jersey. Despite the team’s struggles, Doran’s presence could not lead T1 to victory.
These actions, though subtle, carried significant meaning and were especially comforting to Doran, leaving T1 fans deeply moved. Many fans expressed their disappointment over T1’s performance, particularly in crucial moments where they failed to deliver against some of the leading players in the league.
Gumayusi’s Potential to Return to T1 in Regular Seasons
With his impressive performance at the LCK Cup 2025, T1 has recognized the strengths and weaknesses of their current roster. The players must remain adaptable as the competition intensifies. Notably, Fearless Draft is currently undergoing extensive testing and is expected to be officially implemented by Riot for all tournaments starting from 2026.
Thus, Gumayusi has every opportunity to rejoin T1 for the upcoming Regular Seasons. The T1 team must focus on maintaining their core identity, as the upcoming matches will require a consistent and strong presence.
