Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.

The professional leagues in the China and South Korea divisions all played yesterday, and the LPL side played the focus battle between AL and TES, while the LCK side also had a traditional news agency battle, with SKT vs. KT.

The most surprising aspect of this match was that SKT opted to press Gumayusi to the bench.

Faker has reached the milestone of 1,000 games, and T1 has ushered in a sea change

Yesterday was another milestone in Faker's career, the number of battles in the LCK arena officially came to 1000, and the 1000th matchup faced the old rival KT, and the people around him were changed batch after batch, and the opponents of the year were all gone, but Faker was still standing.

Faker also won his 1,000th game, with a terrifying 667 wins, but the T1 team has seen a sea change in this milestone battle, with champion Gumayusi being pressed directly to the bench by the coaching staff and appearing on Smash, a young player they have cultivated.

This move is bound to cause huge controversy, especially since T1 fans are divided into two factions, many viewers know that there are a large number of Faker or T1 fans who are quite dissatisfied with Gumayusi, Gumayusi has not been really recognized by these people, and the other part of the team fans will find T1's move inexplicable.

T1 boss Joe Marsh also posted a news release saying that KkOma will explain the matter after the game.

KkOma was also asked about this question after the game, and his answer was that the season is very long, and he tried to use personnel rotation to get more valuable data.

Smash does his best to become a god, and GUMA has bad news

KkOma was then asked if he was satisfied with his performance in the first Smash game, and KkOma said that it was difficult to make up his mind at the moment, this was his first game, and he would have to observe further in the future.

"It would be very good if Smash could perform like it did against KT in the future."

This is undoubtedly bad news for GUMA, because Smash's debut performance can indeed be called a perfect score, and he was elected MVP of this BO3 after the game, and all three games showed a good look, especially in the second game, Smash's EZ tried his best to play the whole game when T1 lost.

In contrast, in the second game, Oner's leopard girl looked very spicy, with a personal record of 0-7 in the whole game, from the beginning to the end, it can be said that Smash is trying his best to save the situation, but Oner is purely dragging down the team.

After this match, it is foreseeable that the next T1 game will most likely start with a rookie player, and Gumayusi may have to wait until there is a problem with Smash if he wants to get another chance to play.

Analysis of the reasons for Guma's departure, which is related to the team configuration

Now everyone is speculating about the reason for Guma's substitution, and there are currently two theories, the first is that Gumayusi's level has declined, Juncai has caused himself to enter the bench, and Gumayusi was beaten by ShowMaker as the only player in the field to play his position in the preseason exhibition game.

Although it was an exhibition match, this kind of performance was also quite outrageous, and then after the start of this year, Gumayusi's state was not very good, combined with the data of several world championships, Gumayusi was indeed a little off the beaten track compared to several other players in the team, and because of these points, fans questioned it.

Another theory is related to the top laner position, in Zeus took T1 is one less C position, Doran is biased from the performance of the first few games, did not meet the expectations of the audience, and Doran has no way to carry, Gumayusi, as a non-big core AD, is difficult to give the team more help in the middle and late game team battles.

Personally, I think that in terms of the performance of the first few games, Zeus's departure has indeed had a big impact on T1, and it is understandable that T1 tries to change the bottom lane, because T1 does have such a talented player, and the season is indeed long enough, with a relatively large margin for error, just like KkOma said, trying through rotation is conducive to helping T1 find the right version and lineup answer.
