T1 Loses Legendary ADC Gumayusi After 7-Year Reign
17 Nov
Summary
- Gumayusi departs T1 after 7 years, seeking new challenges
- Gumayusi was integral to T1's modern dynasty, winning 3 Worlds titles
- Gumayusi and Keria formed one of LoL's most iconic bot lane duos
In a major shakeup for the League of Legends esports scene, T1's star ADC Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyung has officially parted ways with the Korean powerhouse after spending seven years with the organization. Gumayusi has been an integral part of T1's modern dynasty, playing a key role in the team's unprecedented three-peat, which included three consecutive World Championship titles and multiple domestic trophies.
Gumayusi's recent peak came in Chengdu at Worlds 2025, where he delivered one of the greatest bot-lane performances in tournament history, earning Finals MVP after T1's victory over KT Rolster. Alongside support Ryu "Keria" Min-seok, Gumayusi formed one of League's most iconic bot-lane duos, defined by their explosive laning and unmatched synergy on the world stage.
As T1 prepares for the 2026 season, the organization will have a big task on its hands to fill the roster's one of the most important roles in the AD carry position to pair them with Keria. While Gumayusi's next destination remains uncertain, he could also make his way to any LPL teams for the 2026 season to start a fresh page and make his legacy outside T1.
