Gumayusi Reflects on T1’s EWC Win and G2’s Nerves: “It Started from Bot Lane”
So, let's talk about what went down at the League of Legends Esports World Cup 2025. While Gen.G took home the championship title after a nail-biting 3-2 victory over Anyone's Legend, T1 wrapped up their tournament run with a solid third-place finish after sweeping G2 Esports 2-0. And right after that match, T1’s star ADC, Gumayusi, had some interesting thoughts to share about the game and the performance of G2—especially Hans Sama.
In the post-match interview, Gumayusi gave honest feedback about the European squad. He pointed out something that most of us watching probably felt too: G2 looked nervous, especially in the first game. According to him, that shakiness may have cost them their usual flow, even though Hans Sama had a good laning phase. He didn’t come off as overly critical, just real about how the match unfolded. In fact, he praised Hans Sama for his individual play early on but mentioned how T1 were able to capitalize on better timing and drafting in the second game.

And for those who remember Gumayusi's now-famous "ramen theory" from back in 2023—where he compared ADCs to the egg in a bowl of ramen—he gave us a bit of an update. Back then, he said ADCs weren’t the main ingredient but could elevate the whole dish. Now? That egg might just be the whole base. Gumayusi explained that in the current meta, the bot lane is more than just a win condition—it’s where everything starts . He said, “Just like you have to boil water first to make ramen, the game now begins in bot lane.” That’s a poetic—and pretty accurate—way to describe the meta’s shift.
As the EWC wraps up and T1 heads back to South Korea to continue their LCK journey, Gumayusi left fans with a short but heartfelt message: “Today I win G2, thank you for everything, cheers!”
T1 might not have lifted the trophy this time, but their performance, especially in that third-place match, reminded everyone why they’re still one of the most formidable teams in the world. And as for Gumayusi—he continues to be not just a mechanical beast in the game, but one of the more thoughtful and entertaining voices in the scene.
