Hello guys,
I am sorry for the Gumayusi post that caused a lot of backlash recently. I wanted to hype up the upcoming T1 vs. HLE BO5, but I didn’t think about that post being used by haters to attack Guma, for which I want to apologize.
I also should have taken action earlier instead of allowing those hate comments to remain. That should have taken priority over me arguing about mistranslations.
In regards to the wording around core vs. part of the core, "저는 항상 내가 핵심이었다는 자신감이 있었기 때문에 나와서도 잘할 수 있는 자신감이 충분히 있는 것 같고"
I said user gumayusinism ignored nuance. This is wrong and I am sorry to her.
Different translators may reasonably arrive at different interpretations of the same sentence. I should have been more respectful of those differences instead of suggesting that another interpretation lacked nuance or that mine was the sole correct one.
For the feeling that I was using Gumayusi for engagement or contributing to negativity toward him. This was never my intention.
I genuinely adore and support every member of the 2022–2025 T1 roster, as well as the current rosters for both T1 + HLE. I strongly dislike the "won the trade" or "better replacement" narratives that get casually thrown around, and I would never want to contribute to that kind of discussion about any of them.
I also want to say that I am not a journalist nor do I make money off of this. I know a lot of people feel like I backstabbed them and I am genuinely so sorry to them.
The only thing I can really do is make sure to do a better job in the future at presenting context when translating quotes that can reasonably be interpreted in different ways. Thank you.

@Sheep_Esports lol, these comments are dumb af. What you expect him to say? “I hope T1 wins because i won 3 worlds with them”? Stfu its a competition and T1 is his competitor now. And the mfs who say “Kanavi and Zeka carried him” They are “carrying” coz Kanavi doesnt need to perm camp bot..
@HLEofficial Lets regroup for our final series against BRO this Sunday and push for first place with a 2-0! Some weird calls today but we can learn alot from it! Lets go HLE! 🙌🏻
