Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
One of the main themes of the T1 team this year was the substitution turmoil, with champion AD player Gumayusi playing as a substitute for young player Smash, and in yesterday's game, T1 changed their starting line-up, and Gumayusi was replaced after only two BO3 appearances.
T1 easily took away Team KT with a score of 2-0, and Smash still played quite well.
Gumayusi was the team's starter in the second stage, and after beating DRX in the first game, there was a problem in the game against GEN, and everyone was speculating that Gumayusi would be killed after playing GEN, and sure enough, T1 went straight to replace Gumayusi.
You must know that the reason why Gumayusi was able to get the team's start in the offseason was the result of owner Joe Marsh strongly recommending the coaching staff, because of this incident, Joe Marsh was bombarded.
The T1 coaching staff definitely wants Smash to start, and they will inevitably make substitutions whenever they get the chance.
For Gumayusi, the cruelest fact is that Smash has performed well since his debut, and even if the opponent he faces is not so strong, the blow to Gumayusi will not be reduced in the slightest.
In the first game against KT, Smash's Kaisha won a 14-0 infinite supernatural record, and T1's Nosuke played very well, Oner's rhythm flew up, and Keria still performed well in the case of changing partners, and was directly elected MVP with two consecutive wonderful performances.
It can be said that T1 created an egg tragedy in the first game of the change of starters, and Gumayusi, as the founder of the egg theory, became the only victim.
It is worth mentioning that yesterday's Faker player was evaluated by the audience as an egg pegger, the reason is that Faker's performance in the two games was relatively not so good, relatively invisible, and the second game also gave some opportunities to be killed by the opponent, but T1's hard power lead was still too much, and the situation was directly rewritten after a wave of team battles won the dragon, and the game lost its suspense.
After the game, the audience commented that Faker had tried his best, but it was difficult to stop the mysterious Oner from killing on a killing spree.
In addition, Faker also ushered in a milestone of 1,000 games yesterday, and the official list also listed a series of statistics to show the heroes that Faker has used the most times in his career.
On the Gumayusi side, there is also a rhythm outside the court, that is, during the live broadcast of Smash and Doran, Keria's picture was shared with Discord software, revealing the dialogue content of the review, Tom sent the content of the review to Xiao K, and although the contestant hid Discord, he was still intercepted by sharp-eyed fans.
In the review session, Gumayusi asked rhetorically, "Is it only me who can fight the dishes", Tom was talking about the policewoman's plane bombing the line, Tom's words were in the front, and Gumayusi's rhetorical question was in the back.
This matter was also attacked by fans, saying that Gumayusi had a hard mouth.
What many viewers don't know is that Gumayusi's status in the hearts of T1 fans is the lowest, even in the case of winning the championship, many viewers, especially Faker fans, can't get used to Gumayusi, on the one hand, Gumayusi's performance on the field, and on the other hand, his various rhythms off the court, including things like hanging on the field.
Therefore, when Gumayusi was substituted, many T1 fans were supportive, while websites in Europe and the United States were more supportive of Gumayusi's debut, and there were also fights between fans in different regions.
Personally, I think Gumayusi's strength as a two-time champion is definitely obvious to all, but whether the current state is really more suitable for T1 than Smash, the answer is likely to be no, especially with the introduction of Doran by T1, the team may need a character like Smash more.
Smash is essentially a team big core ADC, the advantage is that his output ability is strong enough, Gumayusi's output data is weak, maybe because the lack of this part in the later stage will cause T1 to lose the key game of the high-intensity duel, so T1 has to try Smash's first plan.
Of course, it is not yet possible to conclude that Smash must be strong, and it will take longer and more games to test, and work the premise of taking results as the core goal, which is the decision that T1 has made now.
