T1’s AD carry Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyung is leaving the organization and will test free agency as he embarks on a new challenge.

On the 17th, T1 posted a video titled “THANK YOU, LEE ‘GUMAYUSI’ MIN-HYUNG” on its official YouTube channel, officially announcing Lee’s departure.

In the video, Lee reflected, saying, “I’ve spent seven years at T1,” and added, “I was here because I believed that ‘the place where the best player should be is T1.’”

He continued, “From the moment I started my career as a pro gamer, my goal was to become the best pro player in the world,” adding, “With T1, I’ve put together an undefeated title run, won Worlds, earned a Finals MVP, and helped build T1’s dynasty while proving that I’m the best AD carry in the world.”

He went on to say, “Now I feel I’ve proven that to myself, and I truly believe that I am the best AD carry in the world.”

Lee then declared, “Now I’m leaving T1 and setting out on a ‘new journey to prove myself.’” He admitted, “It’s sad and a bit of a burden to leave a place that’s so familiar,” but pledged that “as long as I still have my fans, I won’t stop,” adding that T1 has been a source of “pride” for him.

Finally, he said, “I want to sincerely thank my teammates, the fans, and everyone at T1 who shared every moment with me,” and added, “There were a lot of difficult times, but I’m grateful to the fans who loved me and cheered me on. Please keep supporting me all the way to the end.”
