T1 and Gumayusi: The End of a Seven-Year Chapter
The organization officially announced Gumayusi's departure. Over his seven-year career at T1 , the marksman secured three consecutive World Championship titles, won the LCK Spring 2022, and established himself as one of the strongest ADCs in history.
However, the 2025 season was fraught with conflicts. Early in the year, the coaching staff temporarily benched Gumayusi, giving the spot to rookie Shin "Smash" Geum-jae. He managed to return to the starting lineup only after the intervention of T1 CEO Joe Marsh. Following this, the marksman once again reached top form, becoming the MVP of the Worlds 2025 final.
With his departure, only three members of the legendary ZOFGK lineup remain at T1 : Moon "Oner" Hyeon-joon, Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, and Ryu "Keria" Min-seok. Faker's contract runs until 2029, while Oner and Keria are tied to the club until 2026.
Peyz to Join T1 and Become the Team's New Marksman
By the age of 19, Peyz had won three LCK titles, became an MSI champion, received the Rookie of the Year award in 2023, was twice named to the LCK 1st All-Pro Team, and set a record for the number of kills in a single international match—28 kills at MSI 2024.
The 2025 season was unstable for him: after leaving Generation Gaming , he played for JD Gaming in the LPL , where the team faced a series of roster and coaching changes. Despite some strong performances, JDG failed to qualify for Worlds.
Joining T1 will give Peyz the chance to return to his home league and team up with Keria—one of the best supports in the world. This bot lane duo could become the most dominant on the global stage.
Potential T1 Roster for 2026:
- Moon "Oner" Hyeon-joon
- Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok
- Ryu "Keria" Min-seok
- Choi "Doran" Hyeon-joon
- Kim "Peyz" Su-hwan
