Some additional context around T1 and Joe Marsh’s request for Gumayusi to start when the #LCK begins:

all I'm going to say if you want a 6 man roaster you should be giving every player the opportunity to prove themselves the fact that T1's GM Becker stated that guma and his agent were told after the 2nd LCK game that smash will be playing the remainder of the lck cup +

A new SUMO LEGEND rises. 🌆🍬 From the streets to the shelves, THCA-powered Sumo Gummies are taking over. Can you handle the power?” 🔥 10Kmg per jar 💪 Flavors that slap Tap in NOW 🔗 #HALFBAKD #SumoGummies #THCA

Based on the statement Joe said, I think he had the right to step in. It sounds like the coaching staff weren’t being fair to guma

Damn. 2025 is really an interesting year for T1 & its only just the beginning.. - Zeus left, Doran Signed - Guma benched, Smash Promoted - Announced 6 Man Roster (with Guma starting) Academy: - Guti role swapped - 2nd in T2 LCK - Cypher promoted to T2 (4-0 in AsiaMasters atm) Other Teams: - T1 Val won Masters (1st intl win) - T2 Val Upper Bracket Finals (T2 Tourney) - T1 OW 5th, T1 TFT 19th, T1 PUBG 2nd (atm) - Not sure how Tekken, EA Sports are doing

I don't believe for a second that this has nothing to do with the Fan outrage. If the something was just "not sitting right" with Joe, why wait until now with this statement? Why not communicate the starting roster directly after LCK Cup in February?

That wasnt a request and framing it as such I dont think makes sense.

I’m using their wording, not framing it in any particular way other than saying what was in their statement
