Gumayusi : Please don't be stingy with your praise for yourself, everyone is also very remarkable

Q: Which area of the T1 base do you like the most?

Gumayusi : The spaces I use most often are the cafeteria, KTV room, gym, training room, and streaming room. There are these five spaces. I used to really like going to the rooftop of our base, the view is beautiful. But now it has become a smoking area, so I don't go there anymore. Among these five spaces, I like spending the most time in the training room, which has recently been renovated, and it has my computer, my space.

Q: What do you think of the newly renovated training room and streaming room at the base?

Gumayusi : First of all, I was the first to go to work (the first to see the newly renovated training room), it's very beautiful, and there's a dressing room, the space is used very well. We used to have a roster of 10 people, with the training room arranged on both sides, so the space was not used efficiently. After the adjustment, it has now become a space for 5 people, and it has improved a lot.

To be honest, the streaming room hasn't improved significantly, but it's still better than before.

If the training room has improved from 1 to 3, then the streaming room has improved from 1 to 1.6.

The dressing room (lockers) can store personal luggage, but be careful not to store too much personal luggage, or it will become very messy.

Q: How do you save the phone numbers of T1 players?

Gumayusi : Recently, instead of asking how to save phone numbers, it's more about using Kakao Talk names as examples.

Yooji is Yooji, Minseok is Minseok, Hyuk-hyung is Hyuk-hyung, Hyunjun is Hyunjun. I just removed the last names. The coach should be Coach Kim Jung-gyun because I got the coach's contact information when I was still a trainee, and I respected him a lot at the time, so I saved it as Coach Kim Jung-gyun. Jaehyun-hyung (Coach Tom) is Lim Jaehyun, Kyunghee-hyung (Coach Roach) is Kyunghee-hyung. Is it saved as Jaehyun-hyung? I'll check, it's Lim Jaehyun, Hyunjun is Moon Hyunjun, and the others are as I just mentioned.

Jaehyun-hyung——Lim Jaehyun;

Yooji——Yooji;

Minseok——Minseok;

Hyuk-hyung——Hyuk-hyung;

Hyunjun——Moon Hyunjun;

Coach——Coach Kim Jung-gyun.

Why did I save it as Moon Hyunjun? Because I knew Doran Choi Hyunjun before, so I had to differentiate the last names.

Jaehyun-hyung? I don't know either. When Jaehyun-hyung first joined the team, I didn't know him, so I saved it as Lim Jaehyun, and I haven't changed it since.

Q: In the MSI survival series, Gumayusi introduced the books he was reading. Are you still reading recently? If so, please introduce the books you are currently reading.

Gumayusi : Actually, I didn't read those books much at the time, they were books sent by fans, and unfortunately, they weren't my style. I usually read books when my thoughts become complicated. Recently, to organize my thoughts, I read "The Courage to Be Disliked." I had read this book before, and it helped me organize my thoughts at the time.

Recently, during the holidays, I read "The Courage to Be Disliked," it's a very good book, I read 150 pages.

Q: Is there a moment when you felt very remarkable?

Gumayusi : I always think this way, for example, getting up and going to work today (very remarkable), I have always been very remarkable. Readjusting my mindset, deciding to continue working hard (very remarkable).

Please don't be stingy with your praise for yourself, everyone is also very remarkable. Did you go to work today? Very remarkable; didn't go to work? That's still very remarkable.

Q: Which victory has impressed you the most so far?

Gumayusi : Last summer playoff vs KT, I felt I played quite well, Xayah and Rakan, I played Xayah quite well. And we almost never won a BO5 decider, did we? Maybe we did. Winning a BO5 decider felt even better. We never reached a decider when we won the championship undefeated, nor did we in the World Championship.

Q: What is something that Gumayusi uses in his daily life that he absolutely doesn't regret buying?

Gumayusi : I often use gifts from fans, there are many useful things. What have I been using all this time without changing? Guess what it is.

The correct answer is an electric toothbrush, it's very useful. I brush my teeth often, about five times a day, and an electric toothbrush is great. I've been using the gift I received before. Although I don't remember who gave it to me, I'm very grateful. I've been using it, and it feels like it cleans better. The only hassle is that you have to keep brushing and changing the brush heads.

Q: When you're waiting at LOL PARK, you often look around. Are you looking at the fans' support signs?

Gumayusi : I'm not sure when the waiting time refers to, but I do look at the support signs. It's better than staring at the computer screen, right? I look at what’s written on the support signs. Actually, I also want to see what people behind are holding, but I feel shy, and the people being watched might feel shy too. Should I look? If I suddenly look back before BP starts, others might think "Why is he looking at me?" And I don't know if the rules allow it. Sometimes when I'm bored, I also look at the support signs on the other side.

Q: What are you best at within the T1 team?

Gumayusi : First of all, I'm the tallest; then I'm the cleanest, I think I'm the best in this aspect. Then social skills, my social skills are the strongest. Self-management? Everyone is about the same, there might be people who are similar, but from my standard, I work the hardest, but that doesn't mean others are inferior, just that relatively speaking, I'm better. If others are a 4 and I'm a 5, then I'm the best, right? That's what I mean. Then, I'm very good at conversations, not in terms of eloquence, but in making the other person feel comfortable and interacting with them, I'm the best in this aspect.

What else? I want to think of more things. (laughs) But everyone has their own strengths, so I'll stop here.

Q: You've been with T1 since the start of your career. Do you have any interesting stories during this time?

Gumayusi : I joined the T1 dorm at the end of 2018, it's been six years since I joined the team. Are there any interesting stories in these six years? How should I say it, there have been many tough times, and many things that can't be said on stream. If I have to say something interesting, when was it the most fun?

When we all used one dorm before, there was a supervisor, I won't say who specifically, I secretly used that supervisor's face wash, and he kept asking "Who secretly used my face wash?" I just pretended not to know.

Q: Every time we see T-hind, Gumayusi is on a diet, will your diet ever end?

Gumayusi : Self-management has no end, you have to keep it up until you die. Recently, everyone says I've lost weight, I deny it, but everyone says I've lost weight. (laughs)

I've recently given up on controlling my diet, it's a bit troublesome. And I don't want to feel stressed because of eating, I want to feel less stressed. When I'm playing professionally, I associate many things with training, sometimes even feeling that sleeping is part of work. So at least I don't want to feel stressed about eating.

If I sleep late, I'll be tired the next day, and if I'm not in good condition, training won't go well. Recently, I even feel that spending time sleeping is a waste, I want to play more ranked games, but playing one more game makes me tired the next day, I don't want to leave work immediately but for tomorrow I have to sleep early.

I don't know why, I feel I sleep a lot, I actually sleep for a long time, usually eight hours, but compared to the sleep time, it's not efficient, maybe it's poor sleep quality, or because my sleep time is from 4 AM to 12 PM, so it's not very efficient.
