According to Sheep Esports , Peyz (Kim Su-hwan) will join T1. The young player replaces Gumayusi, who has just announced his departure from the team. This development continues to surprise fans when the world champion cannot re-sign the member who helped them win a series of titles.

Peyz is a player from the GenG training center, T1's biggest rival in recent years. After debuting in 2023, he has continuously won domestic titles and once won the MSI. This year, the young player left GenG and joined the Chinese "rich guy" JDG. On the other hand, veteran Ruler returned to his old home.

However, the player's first year in the country of a billion people was not successful. He did not have a championship or a chance to step into the world arena. At the end of the season, many rumors showed that this player's wish was to return to his home country.

Next year is crucial for South Korean athletes. The best will be selected for the national team to compete in the Asian Games. A gold medal at the Asian Games means exemption from compulsory military service, which can prolong a professional career.

Peyz is also the brightest choice for T1 right now if they want to continue competing for the championship. Ruler has a long-term contract with Gen.G. Meanwhile, Viper may leave HLE to go to China. The remaining marksmen are all downgraded compared to Gumayusi who just left.

However, whether T1 and Peyz can cooperate depends on the financial situation. The Korean Championship has regulations on salary caps for teams. The team faces a bloated salary fund with Faker, the most famous player in the game. In addition, the remaining 3 players are also world champions, requiring appropriate treatment.

With Peyz returning to Korea and aiming to compete for the title, a pay cut will help push the signing. In addition, T1 still has Smash, a player who is competing in the lower league. Rumors have it that the team could sell him to China's LNG. But with Gumayusi's departure, the opportunity opens up for this player.
