T1 bot laner Gumayusi (Lee Min-hyeong) has been named the OPPO Finals MVP of the 2025 League of Legends World Championship.

On November 9, at the Dong’an Lake Multi-purpose Gymnasium in Chengdu, China, T1 defeated KT Rolster 3–2 in a best-of-five thriller in the grand final. T1 dropped the first game but regained focus to come from behind and win the series, setting a record with three consecutive championships in 2023, 2024, and now 2025.

Upon receiving the Finals MVP award, Gumayusi said, “It still feels like a dream. I didn’t expect to win MVP, so I’m grateful.” He continued, “This year was a tough one for me. Every year I’ve been someone who has to prove himself, but this time I think it was a year where I had to prove myself to myself. Now I’ve done that proving, and I believe I’m the best AD carry in the world.”

Gumayusi also thanked his fans and family. “I said it was a difficult year, and without the fans’ support it would have been hard to endure,” he said. “I want to thank the fans who cheered for me, my family and teammates who gave me strength, and God.”
