For many years, a duo in League of Legends was almost unstoppable. Together they celebrated huge successes until they separated after 5 years. Soon they will be back on the big stage playing together, but only for a short time.
Who is the most successful duo? When it comes to the question of who is the best or most successful team in the LoL scene, T1 is likely to be the answer. The team has already won 6 world titles and is home to the LoL god Faker.
Alongside him, the professionals Gumayusi and Keria played together on the bot lane for 5 years. The two players were considered the dream duo of LoL and could dominate the scene as lane partners. Together with their team, they were able to win three Worlds in a row and also achieve first place at the Esports World Cup 2024.
Apart from these great successes, the duo managed to earn several titles in the Korean league. Even though they did not take first place, they were able to achieve high placements at important and major tournaments.
The dream duo will be reunited for a short time
When and where will the two play together again? From September 19, 2026, to October 4, 2026, the Asian Games 2026 will be held in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. This is the Asian equivalent of the Olympic Games as we know them.
There is also an esports category where League of Legends will be played. According to Sheepesports.com, the team for South Korea is already:
- Top laner “Zeus” from Hanwha Life Esports
- Jungler “Canyon” from Gen.G
- Mid laner “Zeka” from Hanwha Life Esports
- Mid laner “Faker” from T1
- ADC “Gumayusi” from Hanwha Life Esports
- Support “Keria” from T1
Why are there two mid laners? Although LoL only has one mid laner per team, South Korea is sending two of them to the Asian Games 2026. One of them will be available as a substitute if another player is injured or cannot participate due to other circumstances.
Who will be the starting player in the mid lane is still unknown.
Why did the duo actually break up? After the Worlds 2025 in November of the same year, the contract with Gumayusi was not extended. He moved to Hanwha Life Esports and Keria got the young ADC Peyz, who has already achieved records that Faker might need a long time to achieve as his new lane partner.
Gumayusi says in an interview on Reddit.com that Keria said goodbye with a very long message that touched him deeply. Soon the two will be back on stage together.
The departure of Gumayusi from his long-time team has caused some unpleasant moments. Although he had already officially left the team, some “fans” continued to bully the ADC and even threatened him. This escalated to the point that a politician commented on the issue: Fans bully and threaten one of the best players in LoL, now a politician speaks out on this
