This LoL documentary is on the history of Marin, the hidden carry behind the 2015 SK Telecom T1 roster. As great as Faker may be, SKT wouldn't have been able to do the things they did in the LCK (and at Worlds) if it wasn't for Marin and his top lane carry.

Had to rush this video a little bit at the end so I apologize if it seems a bit unpolished. I've got a lot more exciting projects in the works though that I can't wait to show you guys :)
Thank you so much for regarding my video idea under your community post the other day. I love your documentaries and can´t tell you, how much I have anticipated a documentary about MaRin, especially, when it was produced by you
Hope the carpel tunnel gets fixed we miss you ♥
It was awesome!!!
I am interested in what happened to ssg after 2017
Regardless, this video was beautiful, and really showed what you are capable of as a creator.
I look forward to seeing all the other great things you can create on this channel :)
"is Marin Happy?"
"Former League of Legends player SKT1 MaRin is Married"
LET"S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
that was so cute, im glad hes happy lol
That's not a happy ending. That is a bad ending. -_-
@@bachelorsensei9437 ok cynic
I mean I doubt he’s that happy. Korean pros don’t get paid jackshit and he dropped out of Highschool which is really bad in Korea. I doubt he can live the rest of his life off his worlds skin but maybe?
Edit: actually he streams, so he probably makes a good living off that.
Marriage = Happiness? Something's wrong with ya' bro.
The last point is so true. He's got wife buff now, he should join back with a team and win Worlds.
Kappa what about the starcraft 2 buff, Idk if it’s still in effect rn
Imagine marin and doinb on the same team now. Wife buff x2
@@asmrrichard5914 isn't that a disrespect to marin? The guy clearly isn't a fluke right
@@dragonplayz6606 what?
@@asmrrichard5914 ?
Really glad to see someone cover MaRin. He definitely gets overshadowed by the SKT organization and even other SKT top laners like Impact, but he's doubtlessly one of the best. One thing I would've liked to see in this video, though, was the 2015 SKT vs CJ Entus spring playoffs series, a set that went to 5 games MaRin ended up saving by being the only member of SKT to have survived a team fight and teleporting behind CJ (who were barrelling down mid lane to end the game) and killing their minions, resulting in SKT winning a pivotal game vital to them winning the playoff title.
Oh man I still remember this so clearly. His Maokai was immaculate. There has never been another player quite like him for me.
Yeah, I feel like he's been SKT's best ever top layer, particularly when he gets ahead. He could push that lead so hard.
never thought he gets overshadowed by players like Impact/Huni/Khan or even Duke because ppl still named SKT2015 as the greatest team ever existed. and also SKT/T1 fans til this day still remember about Marin and wish someone can play up to his level in that 2015. They still want to find who is the next Marin for SKT/T1.
He’s pretty overrated
@@OMAR-vk9pi How so? He's only ever praised for his 2015 season, so in what way was he over rated? Did you watch his 2015 matches? Or are you just talking shit...
I think Marin was a player that needed a very specific team environment to flourish. I think SKT was one of the only teams that was able to provide him with that suitable environment and allowed him to be the great player that he was. SKT was also very patient with Marin, and still believed in him even through the tough losses and frustrations. Teams that Marin went to after his time in SKT simply could not sustain a suitable environment for him, or were not patient enough to keep him for the long run. You cannot have SKT without the legacy of Marin, and Marin cannot have his legacy without SKT.
exactly. so many western fans coping about marin and easyhoon when they're literally irrelevant without skt and retired in shame.
Alot of it had to do with the coach at the time. Kkoma is one of the most prestigious e-sports coach in Korea and he had a very good character. He was kind, humble and patient and he really drilled his team on importance of team chemistry.
@@gisubsim42 i remember the guy running when peanut was drunk on stream and every player are being "coach will be angry at us if we do this" the guy is really a professional at his job. MaRin will always be one of the best for me together with bengi and faker, they might change botlanes, but this 3 will always be on top for me when it's about SKT rosters.
now is 2023/24 he is still the best top laner that played for SKT/T1 . I will tell my grandchildren how GOOD he really was. @King Toucan
Don"t forget to mention that 19 yo Zeus was already a better top than MaRin ever was.@@gzzz231
2015 SKT was the GOAT SKT
It's like, "Yeah, you've managed to keep an eye on Faker but how about MaRin that poses the same threat as Faker?"
you mean GOAT team. i cant see anyone up to their status except for SKT2013 but that's clearly a weaker roster imo
I forgot but back in gbay100 he discussed how skt during 2015 world's never lost a tier 2 turret till the finals which is crazy showing the skill gap back then
No one has broken SKT 2015 world record 15 wins 1 lose literally GOAT Generation of skt
Bengi as well, he has the same threat level as Faker. As the video said, Marin struggles if he's not in-sync with the jungler that's why he didn't find much success on AF.
@@francisdiaz5213 their entire team was a monster. You couldn't counter any of them, because they had so much synergy.
Marin streams in AfreecaTv. Its actually fun he plays alot of Pubg. Afreecatv community is so diff from twitch and its really fun to see him lead a amateur league team aginst other legends like Smeb Crown Pawn and others
Yoooo thats good to know, all of those guys are legends, gods, even tho the dont got the greatness or community praise some others did, is good to know they all do decent and theres still having fun.
May I know what is Marin's username in AfreecaTV I can't seem to find him
mashallah
@@kryanknight i saw ur comment now. his user is chyarlmanu
I remember that exact korean finals in which faker was bench later on an interview he said that the reason he was bench is because Azir was so broken and he can't play Azir and Easyhoon was like the best Azir in the world and later that season Faker grinded Azir so much that he would still play the champion until now.
nah Kkoma is just being ass that time
Faker's Azir is a thing of beauty to watch. Like the other Azir players in competitive are like donkeys compared to his. He literally mastered it.
@@ajmamora6332 nah . Faker said Eazyhoon's better at playing control mages like Azir at that time . But he perfected the champ and carried SKT on worlds for the next 2 years .
@@nvk1425 Only for couple months , not even an entire split. After that, Faker literally skyrocketed into Infinity Wars Endgame.
2016 speaks for itself of how much Faker mastered all champs that he was benched for. On top of it, he even started trolling with Irelia, Master Yi and etc at mid and still smashing them.
@@nvk1425 nah kkoma is just being arse man we see no easyhoon in summersplit that year where Faker carried the team
Everytime I find myself uninterested in competitive LoL, Gbay drops another bomb to draw me back in!
Also Gbay if you're reading this, you made me a Afreeca Freecs fan! Lets go!
#GOFREECS
@@gbay99 ngl that looks like, GO FREE CS xD
mashallah
I just have to say that these kind of videos might not get the views they deserve now, but they will in time. You are documenting a very important era in gaming and in 10-20 years people will still look back to videos like this and enjoy them. Keep up the good work Gbay!
You was right
Your right
keep up the cope brother. zoomers don't give a shit about league. league will die with boomers.
Hell yea, Marin was awesome. I started playing/watching league in 2015. So season 5 worlds was very special for me.
That part at the end where he had Bangkok Titans come bow with them really got me in the feels 😭
I remember when everyone thought the Fiora rework was trash and Fiora was considered to be trash tier. Marin pulls her out in worlds and does one of the most devastating split pushes ever.
I wish it was included in this documentary. His Fiora was everyone’s nightmare. W
Mariin was a lane bully.
well Fiora is pretty trash now in 12.3.
already bad in team fighting and her items got nerfed as well
Oh God that's true fiora was reworked! Can you remind me of her skill set before the rework? I can recall her ulti being broken, but not the rest
I'm only here for arcane. I don't understand shit
@@le0nz that came out of nowhere an arcane watcher went to pro scene documentry before the game.
He brought them up to take a bow alongside SKT. This shit has me tearing up.
I think we can all appreciate how you let him have some humanity at the end there. Sports fandoms don't let their players be fully fledged humans too often. Was welcome.
Never forget that legendary semi-final vs CJ Entus when Marin saved the day by pulling the mid lane minions with MaoKai. To the date, that's one of my favorite plays ever.
MaRin was my favourite member of SKT and my favourite top laner of all time. He is the reason I still play Rumble (although I am a jungle main now). Thank you for this wonderful documentary on one of my favourite players ever, gbay. 😭
Same bro, I remember the 2015 worlds when it was SKT vs EDG an MaRin was zoning 5 people in topside blue so Faker and the others can take baron freely, that play made me main Renekton for a whole season
It's great to see that even 6 years ago the greatest Reddit analysts were providing their professional input.
The ending to this documentary brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Gbay, I love your documentaries so much.
Coming back to this video 2 years later to mention that we have 2 new top lane mvps. Zeus being one of them
One of your best videos Gbay
oh hey another underrated channel
@@ha1d0g true fax
This is the most memorable Worlds for me, as me and my Friends went to our Local Cinema to watch it Live, 70% of the crowd knew SKT would win because of their dominant season prior to Worlds. I was mailny playing top way back and Marin Vs Smeb was a dream matchup to watch, Also loved the Free championship Kalista when you bought a ticket. Thank you for bringing this back. Good times...
Can we appreciate him for never making us bored
the most vivid memory i have of marin is how infuriating his fiora was at worlds
dude can 1v5 fiora with fuckin ease I SWEAR
And now an Other Legend Born in T1 Zeus and he also WON The MVP Titel of Worlds as a Toplaner c:
There we go, a new Gbay documentary! I have been looking forward to Gbay doing what he does best :).
I love these videos and even though they arent popular at the moment i have a good feeling you'll pop back into the spotlight for the community. You're leaving behind a legacy people can appreciate for years to come
What a wholesome ending
And now he's the new Head Coach for the Team Liquid for the 2023 season! Had to come here and watch this after the announcement. Thank you for the informative and great documentary.
Another great video! I got teary-eyed when Marin got MVP :)
Thanks for highlighting MaRin and his career bro! I'm astounded by so much history that you manage to dig up - The stuff with MaRin and kKoma was fascinating :O
I got chills multiple times during this video because of all the amazing memories that came flooding back to me.
Great job, keep them coming :)
He was there when it was Skt's prime. He introduced me to Renekton thus making me main him.
You have to mention how Marin stall the whole CJ team for 30seconds alone and lead SKT to game 5. It still give me goosebumps today, and he is still my all time favourite player
Hey Gbay99! Long time fan. I took a two year break from most social media and entertainment. My break ended when I flew back to my hometown after living in Tennessee for two years. That happened to be one day after you posted this. I was so excited to see all the content you have made. I remember when I first got into League of Legends and discovered your channel sometime during season four. You've always been entertaining, but with an informative perspective I have always enjoyed. Thank you for being genuine, and thank you for creating many memories for myself and many others revolving around your interests and League of Legends. PS: I grinned ear to ear when I heard music from The Beginner's Guide toward the end of this video. Nice touch!
I've been a rumble main for a long time and Marin was always one of my favorite players to watch. Seeing someone dominate on your favorite champion always feels good.
A heartfelt ending. Really like the way you framed the honor he gave the Bangkok team .
I main rumble because of marin 🥺 i miss the old league of legends
Really good vid. Brings back good memories. 2015 Spring was when I started watching lck. I was a CJ Entus fan. That Bo5 series vs SKT in Spring was a heartbreaker...
This type of videos are my favorite from you
Covering the story of a team or a player is so interesting
I really appreciate when it’s about retired players, because the players that are still playing are still writting their stories
so interesting how after this video, the next two mvps of the world finals were top laners. (kingen and zeus)
I wonder where is the guy who posted on reddit saying Marin, Bengi and Wolf werent ever going to be world champions lol
I love your documentary videos, specially waking up and finding one in the sub box. To be honest I personally don't play League anymore, regardless of that, I do have many fond memories from the time I did play back in the day and seeing these videos makes me relive the good times. I am glad I was there. Thank you for the hard work and keep it up man!
Thank you so much for taking the audio out of the Tyler1 clip 😂😂
If only Marin didn’t leave to LGD ;-;
Chinese teams offer millions a year they had to leave xD
@@user-ne7uj3uc6m can’t really blame him for chasing the bag, but imagine what could’ve been if he stayed with SKT
@@Dirk-kun yea if korea never lost players they wouldve been the best region forever I am pretty sure. Even if u see NA and LPL all their best players are all imports
Acutally I think it was a good choice. Yeah, he couldn't find success as a player, but as in the film was said. The careers aren't very long, so he earned a lot of money in China and found happiness afterwards with his wife, so he can have a good life now with the Chinese money :)
I wish Marin stayed with his home countries team despite me being Chinese because I like the feel league has with people of a nation rooting for their teams, kind of like a world cup. But at the same time I am also happy he is making more money and securing his future financially.
Imagine NA saying that korea would be 2 years behind forever.
Doublelift ... what a clown
When going through the stars left in Korea at 29.30 you missed Ambition playing with Madlife. Easily a top 5 player of all time
I got to briefly meet MaRin at PAX aim Seattle just after they won 2015 worlds. He was there with Faker. They were unsurprisingly pretty quiet. There was a brief moment where they signed, and everyone rushed Faker, but I went up to MaRin and he took the time to sign my badge. Being a top laner, MaRin was always my favorite on SKT, and it was really cool to get to meet him in person. My favorite MaRin play of all time was the Maokai clutch against CJ Entus
This video is so nostalgic in so many ways
Here after the 18-0 of T1 in LCK Springs
Well… almost…
@@tz11tz26 then the following year came
Banger video my man, really brought back some amazing memories for me, and i am sooo glad that Marin is doing well.
Keep at it, hope you the best!
Thankyou so much gbay. I've waited for so long to have this content / video of my Favorite player of all time Marin and im shocked that we had the same in game attitude / emotion i think thats why i like him a lot as a player since then. The first league tournament i watch is the Worlds 2015 and thats the time i see him but i felt so sad when he left. I even argue with my friends saying that smeb was the best of all top players even though marin can't keep up anymore. He's still the best underated top laner for me.
I feel happy after this, thank you Gbay, did my guy Marin Proud
I dunno if I've ever said this but you've almost single-handedly gotten me into league E-Sports and it's really interesting, even to my bronze ass lol. Thanks for sharing the cool story.
Alright Gbay been a fan for a while now and I love these documentary videos you make on players that didn't really have a lot of recognition. I love Marin as well and really hoped he would have stayed in T1 for longer. The only gripe I have about this video is during the 2015 MSI between T1 and EDG. You played the narrative off as if T1 were completely outskilled the entire series when it was an extremely close finals. And that Game 5 deserves it's own video as well, because it was actually EDG who baited T1 into picking Faker's (then) undefeated Leblanc, in order to counter his pick in particular and shutting down most of what Faker could do around the map. Yes in that series both Bengi and Marin didn't perform great but they were by no means considered less-skilled especially considering how young that roster was at the time. Other than that love the videos hope you keep it up my guy
Great stuff Gbay! You make the type of documentaries that even though I don't know/don't care about the subject, I just can't stop watching. Keep it up :D
Amazing video. Also a lot of people may not know this, but Marin is one of the only two people in challenger who's over the age of 30( the other is Kotae who's the best irelia otp in kr)
Whenever you're down Gbay, remember you do not have to believe everything you think and you are not your thoughts.
Felt the need to share this. Keep up doing what gives you energy!
Thanks for this, Gbay :)
Watching MaRin play got me hooked in League :) even if he didn't win a Worlds title after 2015, he did leave a legacy a toplaner can emulate :)
I've been watching Gbay for a long time now and this current type of content is just brilliant. Another great video!
I started playing League because of him, I miss him in the rift. I will love you forever 💗
This legend is finally talked about.
Another great one.... It's crazy how all of this happened while I was playing league but I never really saw it or was aware.. thanks gbae
That bo5 at MSI 2015 between skt and fnatic is to this day probably the best series of this game I've ever watched. Remember watching it live because they were both my favorite teams out of their respective regions. It did not disappoint.
Marin and Kingen now hold the distinct honor of being the only top laners to win MVP at Worlds :)
As to that claim or assumption about MaRin's toxicity during the MSI, I think it's true because Bengi recently stated on a reality/interview show that Faker and MaRin frequently shouts and argues.
Great video! I feel like the next one is going to be about Smeb in order to follow and finish the other half of this tale
im so glad you wrote about MaRin, he was majorly under appreciated. He was the veteran commander
Ngl the year he left skt was probably a hit or miss if he never left he would've helped skt win that year again cause the meta that year was thw juggernaut meta where top laners can solo carry games given the chance he should've never left skt but you know that's life
They won worlds the next year with duke.
T1 is just one Bengi away of winning worlds
This is too true
I wouldn't say that. Maybe "of qualifing to worlds"
@@davidchandra8722 T1 has a 75% winrate of winning worlds with Bengi.
@@hanyuu8672 no it isnt. T1 looks terrible they need way more than a decent jg lol
@@thedragonruffy4023 isnt it 100% winrate? 2013, 2015 and 2016? T1 didnt get to worlds in 2014 and bengi was off team in 2017.
This is amazing! Solid documentary with amazing stats! I would love to see something like this for someone like Ambition, I think a lot of people would love to see that.
Holy shit. When KKOMA walked into the booth in a T-shirt @14:56 was the first time I realized ive never seen KKOMA not in a suit.
Wow someone else appreciates Marin, fantastic I thought I was the only one
11 mins ago posted but already liked the vid, its going to be a banger aa always 🔥🔥
Dude, this shit had me having some crazy nostalgia. Flashbacks to this team not losing a single T2 on World until Smeb went full split with Fiora in the Finals...
Good video gbay i love these vids talking about the old teams in league
Love the content, my dude.
Comments for the almighty algorithm!
" The Toplaner that carried Faker " we all saw that title why did you edited it 😂😂😤
I don't know? I literally wouldn't have clicked this video if I realized the title change. Other title is way better, if it gets disliked bomb still way better for his channel. Gonna draw way more clicks.
Yeah, Faker had a good year too, but Marin may have been the absolute carry, as well as their captain.
@@maestrothemage6063 because redditors are mad crying to gbay in this video's thread
because it's not true. Faker had his fair share of carry and Bang also play really good. The team as a whole was still really really strong and dont need anyone to be the main carry threat since all 3 lanes can take over the game in any given day.
Why wouldn’t it be true that Marin carried Faker?(in the meta where he’s supposed to carry the game with his role). After all, we all know that Faker is a dirty Lulu and Karma 2 trick who do nothing but wait for his teammates to carry his dead body, again and again, for nearly a decade. The time he played anything else, it was Marin who possessed Faker and played both roles at once with his supernatural spiritual power. Yep, definitely not over pushing clickbaity title at all, it is just straight fact. 😤
I don’t play the game anymore, but I deeply respect the work you do to document the history for players to come.
I dont even play league anymore but your videos are the only league videos I still watch. Keep it up, love the Content!
FINALLY SOMEONE MADE A LONG MARIN APPRECIATION VIDEO!!! 😭 MaRin is so underrated and oftentimes gets overshadowed by Faker but one thing we should know about this guy is that he's a great leader and shotcaller. His decisiveness and ability to remain calm against formidable opponents and tough matches made me admire and love him as a player. It's no surprise he's the only top laner who has won the Worlds MVP. Thank you, MaRin for bringing SKT T1 to where it is now.
Edit: It's funny to think how MaRin, known for being a rager in CCB becomes so calm when he became part of T1. It shows how he's grown as a person in a right environment and management.
Many people say bengi was better
he is not overshadow by faker, but in 2016 he join other team, and in that team he can't do his best, while faker achieve his 3rd world champions, don't use faker as an excuse marin underrated, cause marin in 2016 not underrated duh. And the fact he decide to stop being pro player is no one fault. And the fact faker is still aktive after 2016 is not faker fault
Marin still plays, he is so underrated.
Not professionally.
do you know if he streams?
he used to stream in twitch before he got married. one of the comments above said he's now on afreeca tv
@@ebi8903 oh shit thats whats up
so crazy that they have short span of fame, but will still go down as legends
You’re my favorite creator. It always makes my day/night whenever you post. You’re the reason I’ve been a pro league fan for so long.
his fiora was INSANE. the man was a freak of nature. probably the best top laner SKT ever had
Now in 2023 you can remake this Video. The top laner that carried faker, T1 Zeus
Whoa that was unexpected player 😯😯 Hvnt watched the video, but I know it will be great 🔥🔥
one of my favorite top laners ever. thank you for making a video about my boy marin!
Absolutely amazing video once again! Keep up the amazing work you do! Riot you need to hire this man take videos on leagues history!!!!!
At this point of League of Legends, the game started to be won through the meta, so, you couldn't depend only on a player to win it all, in the World Championship 2015, it was a top meta for the most part in the individual role, while the other aspect was the lane swap that needed a right tempo to snowball out of control, so, of course, MaRin had to carry, it was his duty, meanwhile at that time, Faker had to play champions like mid Lulu. Also, these days, it's all about your whole team performing, mechanics and individual performance can only take you until a certain point, your whole needs to contribute in their respective roles in the meta, in order to win it all, sadly, Riot's marketing strategy, it's keeping pushing the idea of super stars, franchise players, so, the credit doesn't go where it's due.
SKT as well as all the korean teams merged their teams as riot dont allows teams all over the world to have sister teams at the same level of competitions. Talent was never a problem for koreans. Riot got this rule out due to korean teams by having stable sister teams would create a lot of in house tactics which was actually too strong for other regions.
glad to come back to this after back to back worlds mvps were top laners
Yay glad to see you again Gbay!
Marin starting every match no matter what reminds me of Keria mot gonna lie
Crazy to believe he’s now Team Liquid’s coach, best of luck Marin!
All of the names of these pro players gave me nostalgia. It reminded me of when i first started watching competitive league. I was watching EDG vs SKT inside a internet cafe and the people beside me were screaming during the teamfights. Fun memories
Thank you so much for making quality videos that are genuinely interesting.
Me and my friends have always agreed on Marin being the best toplaner SKT ever had, he was at the same level or higher than faker in 2015
I think you can do a video about T1 zeus lol
Always nice seeing you posted
Quality content! This was a nice trip down memory lane
