League of Legends: T1 releases eSports World Cup trailer, Gumayusi doesn't appear in one second

EWC 2025 will start on July 7 and will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia until August 24. Previously, a prize pool of more than 70 million US dollars was announced, which once again pushed the popularity of the event to another peak. It is almost time for each team to release a promotional video to boost their popularity and build momentum. After T1, a star team in the circle and the two-time champion of the World Finals, swapped top laners with HLE, fans were very curious about how the new video would be shot and who would get the most camera time?

Core players have the most shots

Faker, One, and Keria, these three players enjoyed all the spotlight moments and had their own individual shots. Their core status remained unchanged and they were the darlings of the club. However, after watching the show, I was surprised to find that a key figure was absent. If he hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about him and mistakenly thought he had been disbanded. Gumayusi didn't get a single second of shot time, which made fans wonder about the player's future and suspected that the management was using this to make their stance clear and hint that their contract would not be renewed.

Gumayusi has played the role of a substitute in recent seasons. Of course, he is not just an invisible back player, but has been an important member of the team for many years. With his qualifications and achievements, he fits in well with the original members of the championship team and their names are listed side by side. To some extent, he is the representative of glory and pride in the hearts of countless fans. This time, he was deliberately marginalized in the promotional video and inadvertently angered his supporters, who all flocked to the comment section to speak up for him.

Gumayusi's fate hangs in the balance

From this, it can be seen that this promotional video has been magnified and analyzed, and everyone thinks that the truth is not as simple as imagined. It is rumored that T1 CEO Zhao Mashi tried his best to ensure that Gumayusi would start, but in the match against GEN, his performance was hard to describe. He messed up the only opportunity to show himself, causing the management to lose trust in him. The promotional video was also treated coldly, causing the outside world to question his actual status.

Competition in the industry is fierce, and every second counts. There is no time to wait for you to awaken your talent. Talented people are emerging in large numbers, and young people have more capital and room to display their talents. Classic figures were once deified and received countless praises, but they were quickly replaced if they performed poorly. Everyone is worried about Gumayusi's future and believes that the T1 club intends to "fire" him.
