Peyz to Join T1 as New AD Carry After Gumayusi’s Departure

SEOUL, South Korea — Kim “Peyz” Su-hwan, a 19-year-old star in the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), is set to join T1, following the exit of Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeong, a three-time World Champion. This major transition comes as the competitive scene anticipates how it will affect T1 and the league.

Peyz, a three-time LCK champion, cultivated a remarkable career at Gen.G. He gained accolades as the LCK Rookie of the Year and was named Finals MVP in Spring 2023. His explosive performance included a record-breaking 28 kills during the MSI 2024 Finals, showcasing his potential for greatness at a young age.

The departure of Gumayusi marks the end of an era for T1. The team recently won its sixth World Championship title, securing its place in esports history. Despite early struggles in 2023, which included being benched, Gumayusi returned to star form, earning MVP honors at the World Championship.

T1 is currently navigating changes, with only Mun “Oner” Hyeon-jun, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, and Ryu “Keria” Min-seok left from their iconic roster. Gumayusi’s exit creates a significant shift, leaving an opportunity for Peyz to step up.

After facing difficulties in the 2025 season at JD Gaming, where he struggled with team dynamics and lineup changes, Peyz is eager to start fresh at T1. His partnership with Keria in the botlane is highly anticipated, as both players are known for their aggressive play styles.

The League of Legends community is buzzing with excitement as Peyz takes on this new challenge, hoping to lead T1 to new heights and maintain their competitive edge.
