Gumayusi's message to fans before HLE's final Worlds Swiss Stage match
Gumayusi: "I'm sure some fans are upset about the teams we've been drawn against, and falling to two losses along the way probably made you even more anxious.We'll do everything we can to put those worries to rest by winning convincingly and making it even further in the tournament.I hope you'll continue watching and supporting us."
Gumayusi talking about HLE's hard road at Worlds 2026 so far
Gumayusi: "I feel like we keep running into strong opponents, so every round has been difficult.And now it turns out we're facing BLG tomorrow, too. I think it'll be a fun match. At the same time, I can't help but wonder, 'Was the Swiss Stage always this difficult?"
Gumayusi: "It feels like we're getting the strongest possible opponent out of all the teams we could potentially face.Things don't usually turn out like this, so it's pretty surprising."
"But if we can overcome all of this and make it to the quarterfinals, I think it could set the stage for Hanwha Life Esports to become the main character of this year's Worlds."
Zeka's message to Viper before the HLE vs BLG match tomorrow
Zeka: I never would've imagined that I'd end up facing Viper hyung when we're both 2–2, but now that it's actually happening, I hope we can have a fun match. And then I'll send him home.
Zeka's thoughts on HLE drawing BLG at Worlds 2026
Q. What are your thoughts on facing BLG?
Zeka: Now that the draw has been decided, we absolutely have to win. I believe our team is playing much better now, and if we can win and advance, I think we'll be the strongest team.
And really, if you want to win the championship, I think the ideal scenario is to beat every team along the way. So in that sense, I actually think this is a good situation for us.
Q. Do you have any regrets or feel any pressure regarding your performance so far?
Zeka: I wouldn't really say I feel any pressure. When you're competing, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But I think what matters is how we respond to those losses and how we take them. Depending on how we handle them, things can turn out much better afterward.
When we lose, if we work even harder to prepare, review our mistakes, and keep improving, then as long as we don't get eliminated and continue finding our way back to how we normally play, we'll have more opportunities to compete.
I actually think you can gain more from losing than winning. Those losses can help us become even better, and I think they can push our ceiling even higher.
It looks like the LCK teams have been impressed with LYON at Worlds. Here is T1 Easyhoon praising LYON's meta read during Worlds 2026
"I think almost every team is pretty similar in terms of their overall approach, but LYON does things differently. I got the same feeling from FlyQuest back in 2024."
"Their interpretation of the meta was completely different from everyone else's, but it was still incredibly strong and effective. That really impressed me."

VENT
It shouldn’t even matter this much. I know that. I keep telling myself that none of this should be affecting me as badly as it is, but I can’t help it anymore.
Even thinking about League makes me feel sick now. It used to be something that made me happy, something I could look forward to when everything else in my life felt overwhelming.
Now I can’t even enjoy the things I love without being reminded of everything that’s happened. I get so anxious.
I’m tired of my family constantly pushing me when I feel like I’ve already given everything I have. All this pressure on me, what more do they want? I’m financially independent, I can take care of myself and them??!???
I don’t even want to get out of bed anymore. I just want to sleep and not have to think about any of this for a while. I wake up with and just dread even moving.
I’m tired of being anxious about what people might be saying, what else might come out, or what else I’m going to have to explain. It’s exhausting feeling like I constantly have to prepare myself for something else to go wrong.
I haven’t asked anyone for anything. I never expected people to forgive me, defend me, or even like me after what I did. I understand why people are upset. I really do. I know that apologizing doesn’t undo what happened, and I know that I can’t change how people feel about me.
I’m just tired of everything. This entire year has been so unbelievably awful, and every time I think things might finally start getting better, something else happens.
I don’t want to argue with anyone. I don’t want to defend myself anymore. I don’t want to keep explaining how I feel just to have those feelings picked apart, too.
I’m just so tired of this year. I’m tired of feeling this way. I’m tired of everything being so difficult.
The image is me, I did use ChatGPT for to help change the lighting. The prompt was to literally add lighting to my eyes and help brighten the photo .
But I am begging you, please just leave me alone. I literally crashed my car the day after, thinking about what I was going to say about the catfishing incident. Please I’m exhausted, and I just want to move on.

Hi guys, I know I should have addressed everything sooner, and I’m sorry for taking so long. I want to apologize to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed and clear up a few things about what happened.
For the first catfishing incident, I was honestly nervous about joining Twitter and putting myself out there. I struggled with my own insecurities, and instead of being honest about who I was, I chose to misrepresent myself. I understand that being nervous or insecure doesn’t justify lying to anyone, and I’m genuinely sorry for betraying everyone’s trust.
As for the following catfishing incidents, I really have no excuse. I wish I had a better explanation but I genuinely cannot think of anything, it’s embarrassing and really pathetic. I knew better, especially after what happened the first time, but I still chose to repeat the same mistake. I had an opportunity to learn from my actions and do better, but I failed to do so.
Regarding the K-pop fap posts found on my old Reddit account, I understand why people might have a hard time believing me given everything that’s happened, but I wanted to clarify that.
Those posts were made by my brother, not me. His activity on both his account and my account actually ended up getting everyone in our household IP banned from Reddit, and I spent weeks trying to appeal the ban. It wasn’t until shortly before I moved out that I was finally able to make another account.
I also want to make it clear that none of this was ever about making money. I turned down a sponsorship offer from Polymarket a long time ago and I made 0 dollars from Reddit all times. I know that doesn’t excuse anything I’ve done, but I wanted to clarify that money was never my motivation.
Again, I’m truly sorry to everyone I’ve hurt, lied to, or disappointed. You’ve all been so kind and welcoming to me, and I feel terrible knowing that I repaid that kindness with dishonesty. None of you deserved to be lied to, and I regret putting myself in a position where people can no longer trust me.
I understand if some of you want nothing to do with me anymore, and I don’t expect anyone to forgive me. I wish I had been honest from the beginning, and I’m truly sorry that I wasn’t. I know my words might not mean much right now, but I hope I can show through my actions that I’m genuinely trying to do better.
