Gumayusi to Leave T1

18 November 2025 10:26

T1 Esports has confirmed that Lee ‘Gumayusi’ Min-hyeong is leaving the team, marking the end of a seven-year run that included three consecutive League of Legends World Championship titles. This includes their recent 2025 victory, which came just days ago. Gumayusi’s departure feels different from previous exits, like Choi ‘Zeus’ Woo-je’s controversial exit in 2024, as it comes earlier in the off-season and coincides with the expiration of his contract.

Despite his MVP-worthy performance at Worlds 2025, Gumayusi’s journey this year was far from easy. He faced significant challenges, including being benched earlier in the season, and T1 barely managed to qualify for Worlds. The struggles and tensions within the team may have played a role in Gumayusi’s decision to leave, seeking new opportunities after a demanding year.

As expected, rumors are already circulating in the League of Legends esports community about where Gumayusi might go next. Some suggest he could join Hanwha Life, while others believe he might make a move to Gen.G, with changes to their roster potentially on the horizon.

Meanwhile, T1 Esports is moving quickly to find a replacement for the superstar ADC. Early speculation points to Kim ‘Peyz’ Su-hwan as a potential new addition to the squad.
