T1 Esports has announced that Lee ‘Gumayusi’ Min-hyeong is leaving the team. This marks the end of a seven-year run where T1 famously won three League of Legends World Championships in a row, most recently claiming the title just a few days ago in 2025.
T1 fans were surprised when Choi ‘Zeus’ Woo-je left the team earlier in 2024, but Gumayusi’s recent announcement that he’s leaving feels different. His departure is happening very early in the off-season and comes as his contract with T1 expires.
Gumayusi Goes Into the Open
T1 recently announced that Gumayusi is leaving the team, expressing deep appreciation for his contributions over the past few years. They confirmed that the decision to leave was entirely Gumayusi’s own.
Thank you, Gumayusi.
Lee Min-hyung, known as ‘Gumayusi,’ is leaving T1 to pursue new opportunities. The trophies won and the legacy he created during his time with the team will forever be cherished by T1 and its fans. T1 expresses its deep gratitude for Gumayusi’s dedication, sacrifice, and brilliant performances…

Although Gumayusi was named MVP at the 2025 World Championship, he faced a difficult year beforehand. He was briefly removed from the starting lineup earlier in the season, and his team, T1, barely qualified for the tournament. This challenging period and the team’s struggles might have led Gumayusi to consider opportunities with a new organization.
There’s a lot of talk in the League of Legends esports world right now about where Gumayusi will play next. He might join Hanwha Life, or potentially Gen.G, but both teams are still making decisions about their lineups.
Okay, so everyone’s already talking about who’s going to take Gumayusi’s place on T1. It sounds like they’re moving fast to find someone new, and the big rumor right now is that Peyz might be joining the team. It seems like he’s the frontrunner to fill that spot!
Wherever he winds up, Gumayusi will be an asset to every roster he sits within.
