Gumayusi Won Worlds Last Year From This Same Spot

T1 were 1–2 after three Swiss rounds in 2025. They won both elimination best-of-threes 2–0 and didn’t lose another series.

4–0

Gumayusi’s Worlds record in best-of-three series

3

Worlds titles in a row for Gumayusi, 2023 to 2025

The Take

He has never lost a best-of-three at Worlds: one won in 2023, one in 2024 and two last year. The rest of that 2025 run wasn’t easy either, with two of T1’s four best-of-fives won from 1–2 down. Now he is 1–2 again, this time with Hanwha Life, and tonight’s best-of-three against G2 sends the loser home.

    After T1 won Worlds 2025, having come back from 1–2 in the Swiss stage as the fourth seed, Gumayusi said the year had again taught him that hard times lead to better moments.

    “I learned once again to shore up my in-game weaknesses, and that even when things are mentally hard, it is for the sake of a better moment.”

    인게임적으로 약점을 보완하고, 멘탈적으로 힘든 일이 있어도 더 좋은 순간을 위한 것이라는 걸 또 한 번 배웠다
