Guma has now arguably been the best performing adc at three straight World Championships (2021, 2022, 2023). Has any other player in the history of LoL ever been the best at their role at three different Worlds? The only one I can think of is Faker.
He also straight up gapped Gala & Ruler. The word “gapped” has been so overused/misapplied lately but this is an instance where he was straight up outplaying the 2 best adc’s in the world (e.g. Varus outplay on Gala, 1v2 play on Ruler/369)
The guy has only been playing for 3 years and already has LCK + Worlds + 3 insane worlds performances. Maybe it’s a hot take but I already think he’s the greatest adc that T1/SKT has ever had, and is a top 10 adc all-time already.
I’m not even a T1 fan either (I generally root against T1 because of their fans), I just think international performance (performance, not placement) matters a lot and Guma is basically Uzi 2.0 in that he gets a worlds buff, but I hardly see anyone giving him credit for it.
Guma is the best ADC in my mind.
No one else at Worlds was even close to his peak, like in those 2 plays you mentioned (I frequently mention both of those plays myself). He even went deathless in the final.
People go on about how great Ruler was this year, but;
Guma also played the most champs of any ADC at Worlds.
The only possible downside to Guma is he does get to play with Keria. That would make me look good!
Don’t know why youre getting downvoted but youre absolutely right. Ruler is a top 5 ADC itw but honestly he was extremely overrated. At worlds he was extremely mediocre only having like one or two pop off games and he was drifting along the rest of the games. In the LPL he was either last (spring split) or near the bottom (summer) in damage share stats for an ADC. He also had a lower DPM in the LPL summer final than the enemy top laner Zika who OTPed Ksante for most of the series. Ruler glazing was insane, and this is three years in a row where Guma was the better ADC than him at worlds. Even last year he was by far the best ADC and just barely lost out on worlds too. It’s not like Ruler had a bad support these last 2 worlds either.
And vs T1 this worlds, Ruler was just trash. Game 3 he completely ruins JDGs whole game plan of fighting at 2 item spikes after he gets caught out in his infamous ruler spot by Zeus, leading T1 to a free baron. Then in the same game when the game state is really good again for JDG he greedily steps up for Q poke DESPITE seeing Faker on vision and his whole team was moving back during the siege, letting Faker Azir shuffle him, throwing the game. Finally in game 4 he gets spoonfed a shitton of gold on his comfort pick and yet he still gets out teamfought by Guma and misses several point blank zeri Q’s on him. Ruler is probably the worst “best player in the world” ive ever seen
