You turned your head to check on your little brothers, and this time, they were all smiles. So Sanghyeok, did your shoulders finally become lighter? ❤️
OP: “Right away, he looked around at the little brothers to confirm the state they were in, only after that did he work hard to keep his emotions steady. But the downcurved and tightened lips still betrayed you. Sanghyeok-ah, did your shoulders become lighter? It’s OK to cry…”

“If the team lack a toplaner he can play toplane, if they lack a midlaner he can play midlane, if they lack money he can be sold immediately👍”
These are just a few examples of the most foul copypastas that Chinese LPL fans have been sharing about Xiaohu vs Faker 😭😭
Faker, on being the last LCK team standing:
“Worlds is a showdown between teams, not between regions. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t really pay much attention to such matters. I think things are fine as long as I can learn new things and have a good experience this Worlds.”
Faker: KIDS!!! I killed three people by myself!!!
Zeus: Hyung! You have so much money!! Can you buy a gun for me? Buy it for me! Buy it for me!
Faker: I’ll buy it for you!!!
Zeus: NICE!

Scout, on his “nice tactical pause lol” post vs C9
“Their player seemed to have a keyboard issue, so they chronobreak’d. They’re an NA team, right? Because of that, I probably just posted it after we won as banter. I was just trying my hands at some NA culture (laughs).”
Oh my 🥺❤️
Faker flashed his signature 👍 pose at the camera man right after their win against JDG. The camera man signaled for him to do a 👎 pose instead, but Faker shook his head and kept the 👍
(cr: )
“Hello everyone, I’m Scout. I’ve caused everyone to feel discomfort and anxiety during this period of time, and for that I’m terribly sorry. I’ve now resolved the exit ban, and confirmed I can participate at the 2024 League of Legends World Championship with my teammates--
Meiko’s hand shook like crazy while trying to do a heart with this fan lmaoo
It’s so cute tho, she said she’s been a fan of him for 8 years already ㅠㅠ
(cr: )
Tian on his conversation with APA in all/chat:
“He actually kept typing and asking if our midlaner was feeling a little nervous in the queue, before we got in-game, and that he [Creme] looked very scared, so I told him “shut up” because I wanted us to focus on the game.”

??????!?!???
TheShy, what the hell is this????
Comments:
It’s aight, it’s TheShy~!
i don’t know about ya’ll but maybe don’t make signs with the literal words “i love the smell of NAPALM in the morning” in an NA vs VN matchup, and maybe don’t film it on broadcast?
nervous? play sunflower - post malone & swae lee
angry? play sunflower - post malone & swae lee
sad? play sunflower - post malone & swae lee
stressed? play sunflower - post malone & swae lee
tense? play sunflower - post malone & swae lee
happy? play sunflower - post malone & swa
Ruler is so unintentionally funny 😭❤️
After he did a hand heart with the fan, he bowed at her, and she bowed back, and then he bowed again, so she bowed back, and then he bowed AGAIN so she had to bow back 🥺♥️
(cr: )
San: “I think Faker got very emotional, I think he was very moved by being able to pull off such a play.”
San’s an ex-OMG player who casted T1 vs JDG. I think, if anything, pros know that feeling the best. The feeling that “I still got it.” ㅠㅠ
ruler’s stream was so freaking sad… he started crying all of a sudden and the tears just kept coming.. he really didn’t want to leave and if he couldn’t be on geng then he wouldn’t go to any other lck team… ㅠㅠ
(cr: )
the way faker spoke of their defeat, how he didn’t feel sad because everyone worked so hard, how he praised the lil brothers on his team, how they learned a lot from this and will come back next time, he’s rly become the big brother.
Q: Gumayusi looked like he was very sad after losing yesterday’s game.
Ruler: I’ve also been through that many times, I understand very well how painful that feeling is. Although I know no matter what I say, it’ll be hard to comfort him at this time, I still want to tell him…
me: wow you’re tall
thresh: thanks?
me: how tall are you?
thresh: i dunno like 6’6”, 6’11” with the horns?
me: [twirling hair] omg “with horns”! you are SO funny
Viper got a 5,200,000 won (~USD$ 4050) donation asking if he could meow like a kitty ㅋㅋ
“Huh? Say what? Meow like a kitty? Meow… How do I do that- MEOW! MEOW! THANK YOU! 🙇♂️🙇♂️ THANK YOU! Ah, what to do- Meow, doing it like a kitty, meow! 🙇♂️🙇♂️ I learned from our house kitty!”
"It’s been ten years now. You have, just as always, maintained your love for League of Legends, and I have already begun my own job [...] Success allowed me to meet Faker. Failure allowed me to meet you as well, Lee Sanghyeok."
A beautiful comment left by a Chinese Faker fan.
Q: Most memorable scenes?
Deft: The scene where Heo Su (Showmaker) kills me was pretty memorable, with Minseok (Keria) blocking and dying in my stead. But in the following scene I’m fighting against Minseok, and then I kill him. I felt a bit uncomfortable watching that scene.
Meiko: Gimme a speed boost!
Tian: Speed boost? How come I didn’t know this champ (Ivern) has a speed boost?
JKL: Bro, your E has a speed boost!
Tian: E’s a speed boost? Bro, where is it?
JKL: There’s no speed boost?
Tian: You’ve got me here reading the abilities, I don’t even-
Doinb: What’s your ID? I’ll add you
Yuyanjia: My ID’s Korean, what do I do?
Doinb: Just send it to me, I’ll add you
Yuyanjia: I don’t know how to copy it
Doinb: Send a screenshot on WeChat, I know Korean, I’ll add you
Yuyanjia: Oh, you know Korean
Doinb: Yeah, I know Korean
Q: “You didn’t cry compared to the finals 5 years ago, how has your state of mind changed?”
Faker: “In the past, I felt remorse over that kind of result because we were crushed 3:0, so there were many shortcomings, and I felt that feeling of sadness. This time, all our players-
Keria: How long until Ori’s and Sej’s ults are up?
Oner: Um… In like one and a half minutes?
Faker: Ori 80 seconds. Sej 100 seconds.
Keria: If they’re not up yet, we can try to start Baron right away, kids!
(cr: )
Deft: “If there are rumors that my teammates don’t practice or don’t play soloQ, I’ll always do my best to explain the situation to everyone… But BeryL just doesn’t play League…”
(cr: )
Uzi, on what this comeback means to him:
“For me to just be able to stand on this stage (tears up) Thank you everyone for your support, I will continue to do my best, and I think this is what I ought to do. This is the determination of esports players and what they ought to do.”
Caster Jun: I want to say—under my own name and not in the position of an LCK caster—thank you to Faker. I was really worried before the announcement… I personally want to say to you, thank you for staying.
Faker: I feel very grateful towards my team and the league (LCK), and-
Q: “Many FNC fans were at the venue, did their chants have any influence on you?”
Crisp: “Somewhat, the chants made me a bit angry because they were so noisy. I wanted to shut them up a bit.”
Dopa said on stream that Kanavi told him he wanted to play jungle Nautilus at the MSI finals, but he had never played Nautilus before, so he watched YouTube tutorials 10 MINUTES before the series started 💀💀
(cr: )
this chinese fan kept donating a bunch during viper’s stream and when he saw he’d gotten 1 million won (~$USD 755) he started bowing crazily and speaking chinese like “what champ do you want me to play? i’ll play whatever you want! just say the name, boss!” ㅋㅋ
jesus christ folks on weibo are saying jackeylove’s the first “grand slam loser” cause he’s now lost a bo5 to all five major regions (lpl, lec, lck, lcs), it really do be your own people,
Faker: “We lost the series this time, we had a lot of inadequacies that we need to reflect on. It’s a pity. I hope everyone can witness our growth next time.
This time Deft won his first Worlds championship, he’s extremely qualified to win this trophy, I congratulate him.”
The LMS interviewer pushed through the interview despite feeling so sad, props to her and I wish her and the region nothing but the best!
Also props to Sjokz for giving her such a big hug, thank you for looking out for each other ❤️
(cr: 一村那点事儿 @ Weibo)
it’s kinda surreal how ruler and faker played together in both the 2018 and the 2023 asian games rosters, first one ended in silver and this one ended in gold ㅠㅠ
Crisp: “Tian cried cause of scrims once, straight up cried at VOD review and ran to his room. Why? Lwx inted too much. I laughed as soon as he cried, it was so absurd. He didn’t cry cause he wanted to improve, it’s cause he felt his teammates were so bad yet kept blaming him.”
Iris: Hey, you guys 2:0’d GENG this time! Very cool, very cool, how does it feel?
Meiko: It feels- It feels like they just came here to sightsee
Iris: 🤣👏 Hey wait up, how long did it take you to come up with that?
Meiko: No but we actually just came here to sightsee too ☺️
Keria, on being LCK’s last team:
“I didn’t really feel [the pressure] that much before the series, but I never thought all LCK teams would get eliminated in quarters, that was a big surprise, and because of that we might have felt we had to play better!” [1/2]
i’m dying xiaohu cussed out his soloq teams on stream without realizing the first adc was gala, and the next adc was light who sat RIGHT NEXT TO HIM while he called him “f*cking idiot” and things got so awkward after he figured it out
Match fixing is absolutely rampant in LoL esports.
LPL is regularly match fixed. Community is going to lose their minds when they see some of the Korean and Chinese player names that are likely going to come out sooner rather than later.
VCS? How about former World Champions.
Deft’s reaction to his Worlds skin ㅠㅠ
“It’s my first time seeing it too. Wow, isn’t it so well-made? I have to see it again. (laughs) What’s with the alpacas? It hasn’t come out yet, right? It’s on the PBE, right? Aaah, my skin… It’s my skin after all… How come it’s on LOL?”
Faker dropping by the T1 members streams [1/3]
Oner: Sanghyeok hyung’s here with me~~ Sanghyeok hyung’s in my room~~ (silence) Did you re-sign?
Sky: (laughs)
Faker: I can’t talk about it now~~~!
Q: What do you think of Mata and Smeb saying you got carried by Zeka to a championship?
Deft: It’s whatever if Mata hyung says so, but Kyungho hyung (Smeb) hasn’t even won one. Since when did those who haven’t won a championship get the right to comment on champions?
DEFT PLS..
Ovilee: Who would you like to face-
Huni: I WANT TO PISS OFF KKOMA I WANT TO SEE HIM SCREAM AT SKT AND I WANT TO CRUSH KHAN I THINK WE CAN RIGHT?!?!?!?!
Lira: yea sure
“You know the saying, ‘Put two idiots in a room and they smile even when their eyes meet’? Yeah, I guess EDG was a story of five idiots, who were all mad about the game. We’d be scrimming, but burst into laughter just because we looked at each other’s faces.”
ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
nah it’s actually so tragically funny how xiaohu never made worlds finals thru the many rng iterations but this supposed superteam glued together with sticks and a prayer is what gets him there
T1 x Valorant(?) ㅋㅋ
Faker: Wanna play Valorant?
Zeus: Valorant’s no fun, I don’t like Valorant.
Faker: If you play this [Overwatch], Riot won’t be happy.
Keria: Let’s play! Let’s play Valorant!
Zeus: Minseok hyung says play Valorant, do you know how to play hyung? (…)
