Just recent news, Guma is out in T1, maybe it's time to look forward in other teams too, I want to root LPL teams but most of them are backing out now. Hoping that AnyoneLegends could have a good run in the next year.

Dude wins 3 worlds back to back and then leaves the team.

Same thing with Zeus winning with T1 just to leave afterwards…

Obviously this probably has something to do with their salary, but I can’t understand much about those decisions.

Now, are there any rumors about who is going to be their next ADC?

FURIA won the BLAST Rivals Season 2 in an interesting way. They really found their rhythm now. And the best part is that there are other tournaments until the next major so they can refine and improve even more. I hope that the less experienced players can feel more confident using these smaller tournaments to train their emotional control.

Obviously that and lets face the reality here. Faker is the ultimate face from T1 so all these commercials would be lining up wanting Faker as their front compared to all the other players and yeah I guess its pointless to win anymore Worlds from here when they have already got 3peat

So yeah I guess Oner and Keria might soon leave the team next season as well to find another team that could atleast double their potential annually earnings rather than sticking on T1 that would always prioritize Faker

[ralle14]

Gotcha this gonna be so useful in the upcoming tournament. So which tournament are we looking at next on cs2? preferably the tier1 tournament though as less variances might happen in those top tier tournament

The next one should be the last biggest tournament of the year, which is the StarLadder Budapest Major, and it'll start next Monday. I'm also hoping we get some good promotions, as this tournament is on par with the Austin Major that was held a few months back.

Now, are there any rumors about who is going to be their next ADC?

One of the rumors I saw was that Peyz is going to T1, and I think it could push through since he had a solid season with Gen.G before moving to LPL.

Just recent news, Guma is out in T1, maybe it's time to look forward in other teams too, -snip-

Can't really blame Guma if he wants to leave and explore his options. Maybe he received some good offers from other teams as a free agent, since they knew that his contract with T1 is ending. He's already won Worlds in three consecutive years, and even got Finals MVP. When you've reached the top multiple times, you no longer have anything else to prove.

At first I thought they would go with Smash, but these are the current rumors from Sheep Esports:

• Peyz set to join T1
• Gumayusi expected to join Hanwa Life Esports
• Smash expected to join Dplus KIA

I also saw something funny in reddit about Gumayusi joining HLE

It would be crazy if HLE poaches one different T1 player every year until is ZOGK vs Faker.

It's a great strategy for them. And they can leave T1 earning 10x more easily. And if they go to a smaller league, that could increase exponentially, and they'll still be the best in the league. I think for Faker, it's about repeating the same thing to really solidify his career. The others are following Faker's path.

While browsing through Liquipedia for my pickems, I managed to find s1mple and friends facing Parivision for a spot in the ESL Pro League, and they got rolled. 

They're close to forcing OT in the first map, but one small mistake gave Parivision the chance to close it out in regulation.

I also saw something funny in reddit about Gumayusi joining HLE

With HLE willing to spend that much money to bring in good players, it's definitely possible unless the other players prefer to stick with what's been working for them.

I don't know if you saw, but this week wasn't very good for the Falcons. They lost four times last week and came in second place in four different events. Apparently, it's not the team's best time to win competitions. They lost in CS2, Rainbow Six, Rocket League, and Dota 2.

I caught those losses in both CS2 and Dota tournaments, but in the other two, I had no idea, as I didn't follow their esports scene. Still, that's an unusual coincidence, and it shows that each scene is very competitive.

Things are also getting interesting in PGL Wallachia S6 as the next three qualified teams were OG, Parivision, and Mouz. It's no surprise for Parivision to make it, but the other two are a bit surprising, knowing Mouz is missing two of their players, and OG was always the underdog in every series they played.

Following up on this, korean media revealed that T1 made internal plants to part with Gumayusi regardless off their World results, even if he was named Final MVP.

Original article in korean: https://m.sports.naver.com/esports/article/109/0005432772?sid3=79b

“Regardless of T1’s 2025 Worlds result, even if he were named Finals MVP, the internal decision was already made to part ways at the end of his contract.”

A source familiar with T1, speaking on condition of anonymity with G-Star, hinted at Gumayusi Lee Min-hyung’s future. As it turned out, his words were accurate: Gumayusi and T1 have ended their time together.

Guess there was nothing he could do to stay in T1.

Yeah there is really no reason for him to stay there. Probably it was due to him being benched before, I personally would be so pissed off as well if I am benched especially after winning 2 Worlds. Aside from that, Faker would take all the spotlight from all other players in T1 so yeah playing on another team with higher wage would be the best decision

Gotcha, gonna focus on dota2 for this week then

Only did notice this match on the daily feed popup today and that is certainly an eye sore to see bc.game who had him join up and can't even get a map off of paravision.
Time for s1mple to retire? Because there is nowhere else to go from playing in the lower tier group.

Falcons do have the money to build these teams but to what end?
They brought s1mple aboard to their CS2 team and they let him go to bc.game below tier 1 play.
Their problem is finding talent that compliments the rest of the other team members for each different genre.

The stomp from Parivision was expected as i've heard that the team was bootcamping for quite a while in preparation for the upcoming major.

He's still getting paid a decent amount, so I doubt he'll retire soon. For now, it feels like they're just letting things pass so they can replace the other players one by one without decaying their VRS points.

Funny how this new roster of OG is playing right ? The SEA boys are bringing the glory back to OG team and I personally didn't expect them to play such great games but also having amazing drafts. They are currently playing against Mouz and I do have a feeling OG will snatch this series 2-1 and move further ...with real chances to catch the finals tomorrow.

They can still pay for his requested amount to be playing for a lower tiered team? Well they are sponsored by name of a cryptocasino, so why not.

Parivision must of been preparing for this matchup for quite awhile then. They finished them very easily in a blanking of maps.

@boltz
This is part of the matchup during the worlds for DOTA2 right?

It was a good run for them ending at 6th place for this PGL Wallachia. And this is the first tournament for this all-pinoy roster and they did well. Ceb and Notail are satisfied with how they did, compared to the past rosters of OG and this team did an impact.

@boltz

It's from PGL Wallachia, the new roster of OG is on hype because they have beaten top teams like Tundra and Parivision but they fell short against Mouz that eliminated them in the playoffs. And during the group stage, they only lose against Team Liquid.

Saw this like few minutes ago. Dang why they cant just stick together, I mean after winning 3 Worlds then T1 probably should have just keep the roster and offer higher amount of money to keep the player on their team. I guess they used up all those extra money to keep Faker on the team instead huh  its turning into a one man centered team at this rate

Guma having issues with T1 management, well if they can't protect his mental health then choosing peace is sometimes the best decision. I think it's worth it for me, I don't want to get stressed in a team where its fan is very toxic and the management aren't doing anything to stop it. And let's be honest, Peyz is really a good ADC too, maybe T1 is eyeing for a stacked team, if a good player adapted how T1 circus playstyle, you know it's gonna be a domination. Yep, faker already had a million-dollar contract before the LCK implemented the salary cap, that's why all the money are going to faker's pocket.

Also, HLE already announced Guma as their ADC and Kanavi as jungler, another stacked team.

Well, they had a good run. Also, it's their first so give it a time to polish the playstyle and comeback with a good gameplay in next tournament. SEA are now active again, OG peenoise LFG.

Just checked the latest news on this tournament and only found out today was the last day and they were playing in the grand finals!
https://www.hotspawn.com/dota2/news/pgl-wallachia-season-6-grand-finals

Looks like MOUZ beat out Team Spirit to win the $300,000 prize from the $1mln in the pool.
I think there was more attention during the Grand Slam IV tournament finals than this one because didn't see many people here talking about it. More about what was going on with the OG upcoming line-up than the play-offs with Liquid and Betboom too.

Yes!
Mouz was able to beat Team Spirit hand on hand in the grand finals. It's a 3-2 series so it means that it's a very close fight and well played for both teams. While there were some maps that are one sided and you know who's going to win. While the Blast Slam IV was a month ago, the OG roster and beating the other good teams also been hype. All of the matches were crazy and it ended that everyone enjoyed even if some of my bets have lost, I've won this grand finals though, they're all worth it.

Man, those die-hard T1 fans are just too much. But apparently, it's the management's decision not to renew Gumayusi's contract, regardless of whether he wanted to stay or not.

And let's be honest, Peyz is really a good ADC too, maybe T1 is eyeing for a stacked team, if a good player adapted how T1 circus playstyle, you know it's gonna be a domination. Yep, faker already had a million-dollar contract before the LCK implemented the salary cap, that's why all the money are going to faker's pocket.

Also keep in mind that Peyz is still young. If T1 can properly mold such a talented player, he could definitely turn into an even better ADC than Gumayusi. It might be hard to meet the expectations though, he's got some really big shoes to fill. As for Faker's salary, it's no surprise. He's the one who brings in the money anyway because sponsors are mainly after him. He's the goat of esports after all.

Also, HLE already announced Guma as their ADC and Kanavi as jungler, another stacked team.

Lots of interesting rosters to watch out for next year. I'm also excited to see how LR would perform in the LEC
