Gumayusi Expected to Leave T1 for Hanwha Life Esports After Winning Worlds MVP
Gumayusi, the renowned AD carry and three-time World Champion with T1, is expected to transfer to Hanwha Life Esports ahead of the 2026 season. The move follows his standout performance at the recent World Championship, where he was named the tournament's most valuable player (MVP). Gumayusi's departure marks the end of an era for T1, where he has been a key player since 2020, contributing to their three consecutive World titles from 2023 to 2025. His move to Hanwha would replace Park 'Viper' Do-hyeon, signaling a significant roster shakeup in the LCK. The transfer has caused a stir among fans and analysts, with many mourning the loss of the popular bot lane duo with support Keria. Meanwhile, T1 is preparing for a roster overhaul, with reports indicating they will sign new AD carry Kim 'Peyz' Su-hwan for 2026. The transfer highlights the ongoing roster reshuffles in the LCK offseason, reflecting the high-stakes competition among top Korean teams.
