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.
Gumayusi is arguably the most consistent/reliable ADC in the last 2 years. He’s the type of ADC T1 needs for playmakers like Keria and Faker who constantly roam the map. While he doesn’t have the highs of players like Ruler, he can definitely match those players and may even outperform them on a good day. Sort of like Bang from 2015-2017 which allowed SKT to win so much titles except Guma is much more mechanically gifted. The only player that I can argue to be really as reliable/consistent as him would be Viper except Viper’s teammates are ass this season.
