After the end of the Worlds 2025 of League of Legends, the professional teams will be properly mixed again. The Twitch streamer Tolkin shared his opinion on the departure of the ADC from T1 and criticized the potential new player of the best team in LoL.
What did Tolkin say? For the Twitch streamer Tolkin, the biggest shock after the Worlds 2025 was that the ADC Gumayusi is leaving the winning team T1. Gumayusi has been with T1 since 2018 and has won the last three World Championships in 2023, 2024, and most recently in 2025.
According to Tolkin, one of the reasons for Gumayusi’s departure could be that he had to prove himself every time anew. Furthermore, the Twitch streamer states that people would claim the ADC of Hanwha Life Esports, Viper, is better. And this is despite the fact that the ADC of T1 has won the last three Worlds in a row and even became MVP 2025.
Who is the possible replacement? According to sheepesports.com, the new bot laner and ADC of T1 will be the Korean player Peyz. The young professional is only 19 years old and has already won several titles in the Korean regional league with his former team Gen.G. Additionally, he was the winner of MSI24, one of the most important tournaments after Worlds. Currently, Peyz plays for JD Gaming.
Tolkin does not find the possible new ADC of T1 good enough
What does Tolkin say about Peyz? Tolkin was asked by a viewer what he thinks of Peyz as a replacement. His opinion was clear, stating that Peyz is not good enough and would be an ADC downgrade
for T1.
An upgrade or equal would, according to Tolkin, be the ADC Ruler. However, he currently plays for Gen.G and replaced Peyz as bot laner in November 2024.
What do Tolkin’s viewers say about Peyz? In the comments of the shorts on YouTube, one viewer disagreed with Tolkin. According to the user john9920-f4l, Tolkin is unfair to Peyz, as the young professional has already been able to win some important titles. Furthermore, the viewer writes that T1 can handle a switch from long-standing players. Just in November 2024, the 5-year top laner of T1 Zeus was replaced.
Even the YouTube viewer DemiVirus sees Peyz as the better player. According to him, Gumayusi was only an A-tier player before the Worlds and Peyz could have surpassed him in recent years.
Although Faker has already extended his contract with T1 until the year 2029, the Gamer Of All Time wants to become even stronger. In an interview, he revealed that he wants to take better care of his health, as performance improves with health as well: Faker is a 6-time world champion in LoL, now the greatest player of all time knows how to get even better
