People often say “Lam Dang Don’t Save the Hero” – that is, seeing someone in danger but not saving, is not called a hero. This sentence can be applied to Gumayusi’s current situation, when T1 is in the moment of needing him the most, but he cannot “save” T1 as expected. This is increasingly evident in recent matches, especially the loss to LSB, when it shows the fact that Gumayusi is just a “prodigy” out of time, the hero role proved to be too much for him. .
To clarify the above point, Game4V would like to invite readers to the following content of the article.
Labeled “Prodigy” since debut:
Since his debut in T1, Gumayusi has always shown himself to be the new “Prodigy” in the bottom lane position. Having to compete with stable performance Teddy, “Crown Prince” Gumayusi still proved his effectiveness in the T1 lineup. At its peak, T1 Gumayusi helped T1 set a record of 24 consecutive wins in the 2022 LCK.
But not to let the fans rejoice for long, his form immediately became problematic at important stages. In the final stage of the LCK second leg, “Thai Tu” seemed to be losing himself, his weak performance made T1 regretfully lose in the T1 vs GEN great war in the second leg.
In the “Golden Target Era” meta, it is very important to have a “powerful” bot lane to compete for the target. The first week of the LCK 12.14, T1 Gumayusi was once again disappointing when it was “crushed” by LSB Prince – the AD carry holding the MVP of the tournament.
The stats are also not supporting Gumayusi, it seems that Crown Prince Gumayusi will break through in the match. But no, Gumayusi and the T1 team could not stand the pressure when “out of the gunner”, receiving a 0-2 white defeat against LSB.
Gumayusi’s mistake led to T1’s defeat in game 2:
After the defeat in the first match, T1 went to the decisive match with great faith in Gumayusi.
At the pick and ban phase, T1 chose for themselves the squad that had made a historical record – the lineup revolved around Gumayusi. With all four tank positions, setting the stage for Jinx to be played. LSB chose for themselves a two-pronged lineup, with Azir for Clozer and Aphelios for Prince.
After 10 minutes of peace in the bottom half, LSB began to exploit T1’s key position, Gumayusi. An “indiscreet” phase of Gumayusi, when no one was around, he still stubbornly stayed at the tower to join the soldiers. First kill for Prince and 2 early turret splits.
It seemed to have “removed” from T1 with 3 kills for the upper wing, but Gumayusi was once again exploited by his excessive confidence. Despite knowing that LSB had just eaten Dragon with Trundle, Tahm Kench, but the Crown Prince still stood very tall, the second kill went to Prince.
The turning point of the match, T1 decided to jump the tower to take the “shutdown” of Aphelios. Everything is going according to the script, then the name Gumayusi died “immediately” by … the shooting tower. Ice turrets with all 5 members, but the one taking turret damage is Jinx’s main source of damage. Losing Jinx early, T1 broken, Prince became a “monster” when he owned 6 kills.
Then there was the destruction of LSB Prince, an easy victory to set the score 2-0 for LSB in the 23rd minute.
As the main trigger of the squad, Gumayusi’s form does not allow him to take on this role well anymore. Gumayusi’s weak damage when he has a “cabinet” champion is the main reason why T1 suffered a bitter defeat against LSB.
Compare with former T1 ADCs:
ADC is always the key role of the squad in the post-match phase. And T1 is one of the most seasoned teams in terms of achievements, in order to do this, T1 has produced a lot of “burly” ADCs like Piglet, Bang, etc. Remembering SKT Bang, he always ensures his damage, his performance throughout the time he played in SKT.
Surely everyone remembers SKT’s ability to carry Bang’s team with Twitch, Ezreal… Even when SKT was “in danger”, Bang was always the leader, leading the squad to victory with equanimity. his calm, careful. The eye-catching “flip” screen when leading by 5-10k money is like a “specialty” of SKT.
Sadly, it seems that Gumayusi has not been able to take on the “heavy” responsibility left by the seniors. When he repeatedly made very basic mistakes about keeping his position, his ability to perceive danger, … and then “laying down” in front of his teammates. This is partly due to the guy’s “excessive” form and confidence after the season like “to the top”.
Conclude:
The PlayOff phase is near, T1 desperately needs a “Prodigy” of marksmen like they used to have to conquer the top. Of course, Gumayusi’s performance is always a big question to solve from the T1 team. And if they can, the Crown Prince returns to his inherent leading position, T1 will definitely have a great opportunity to “lift the trophy” of the LCK summer 2022.
