The “Gumayusi” Challenge by Im In-hyung has become a hot topic. “Faker” Lee Sang-hyuk also shared his witty impressions after seeing it.

Led by coach Kim Jeong-gyun, T1 won 2-1 against OK Savings Bank BRIAN in the “2024 LCK Summer” at Roll Park in Seoul’s Jongno-gu on the 10th at 5 p.m.

Continuing their momentum from winning the Saudi e-Sports World Cup (EWC), T1 added another victory following their defeat to KT Rolster on the 29th of last month. With their 5th win (2 losses), T1 climbed to 3rd place.

After the match, Coach Kim met with the press and expressed his thoughts on the victory, stating, “The opposing team prepared well. I’m glad we won today. We’ll prepare well for the next match.” Faker Lee Sang-hyuk said, “I was worried because I couldn’t adapt to the time difference, so I’m relieved that we won.”

T1 ascended as the invited champions of the EWC. Coach Kim shared his thoughts on winning, saying, “It was a short-term competition. Players and staff researched various combinations in line with the patches. Even if we continued to win 2-1 (with difficulty), I personally thought it would be a good result. Winning was meaningful and I’m very happy. Thanks to the players who worked hard.” Lee Sang-hyuk expressed satisfaction, saying, “I had a great experience during the EWC week. It’s even better to win.”

Asked about their gains from the EWC, Coach Kim replied, “We brought home the championship cup. We had a rigorous schedule for a week. We need to readjust well and adapt to the league.” Lee Sang-hyuk said, “I was worried about the league after losing and then traveling. Winning gave the players confidence among themselves. It will be very helpful for the Summer season.”

Coach Kim talked about the preparation process for the day’s match, saying, “It was a patch version similar to the Saudi Cup. We used the remaining time to prepare little by little. There wasn’t much time left, so it was even more so. I also get tired if I sit still. I think the players will feel more tired. We need to give them some rest.”

Lee Sang-hyuk said, “I’ve never felt physically lacking. It may not be the best in terms of performance due to the time difference.” He explained, “I’m doing my best as a professional player.”

Reflecting on their performance that day, Lee Sang-hyuk said, “We won, but I’m not satisfied with our performance. There were mistakes in the middle. We’ll improve next time.”

Recently, Im In-hyung’s “Gumayusi” Challenge video has become a topic of discussion. Im In-hyung captured the hearts of LoL fans with graceful dance moves. The video gained significant attention, coinciding with T1’s victory.

In response, Coach Kim commented, “I didn’t watch all the videos. I watched one. The outfit, dance moves, and everything suited him very well. I think he did well. Compared to others, I think In-hyung did the best.”

Lee Sang-hyuk joked, “I didn’t watch it because I wanted to. Im In-hyung’s actions were surprisingly modest. I couldn’t watch it properly because I was angry.” When asked if he wanted to try it, Lee Sang-hyuk humorously declined, saying, “Thank you.”
