The first tournament of the new professional season in League of Legends is over. Former ADC of Faker, Gumayusi, has only reached second place and says he is still the best ADC in the world.
What kind of tournament was this? The KeSPA Cup 2025 was the first tournament held with the major teams in South Korea. In the final, T1, the multiple world champions, faced off against Hanwha Life Esports, Gumayusi’s new team, (lol.fandom.com).
What exactly did Gumayusi say? In an interview after the KeSPA Cup, Gumayusi was asked several questions. One of them was whether he still sees himself as the best ADC in the world. His answer was simple: “Yes, I do.” (reddit.com)
Of all people, his rival Peyz, the new ADC of T1, rocked the tournament and set a record while receiving the most coveted title.
What has Peyz achieved in his first tournament with T1? The 20-year-old ADC Peyz has only been playing for a month at T1. In the KeSPA Cup 2025, he achieved the most pentakills in the professional scene as an active player. Overall, he managed to wipe out the entire enemy team 12 times, and that only in four years of his career.
Furthermore, Peyz was awarded MVP. This means he was the most valuable player in the final of the tournament and showed exceptional performance (reddit.com).
Peyz is one of Gumayusi’s biggest rivals
What else did Gumayusi reveal in the interview? Another question for the former ADC of T1 was who his major rivals in League of Legends are right now.
In addition to the ADC of GenG Esports, Peyz is certainly one of Gumayusi’s biggest rivals. The young ADC has not only taken his place but also shown that he belongs to the best team in the world.
What goals does Gumayusi have for 2026? Together with his team Hanwha Life Esports, Gumayusi wants to win many titles. Especially the fourth Worlds title is interesting for the ADC, as he has also won the League of Legends World Championships in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Gumayusi’s former teammate, Faker, also gave an interview during the KeSPA Cup 2025 and was asked for a few words about his former ADC. The best LoL player of all time was somewhat reticent and only found one word for him: Faker won 3 Worlds with his ADC, giving him only one word of advice
