How a Family’s Sacrifice inspires an LCS Pro | DRIVE: Massu
Vložit

- Massu’s journey to the LCS stage has been unlike any other. Born in Iraq at the height of the Iraq War, he and his family fled their homeland when he was just a baby, after his father narrowly escaped a kidnapping attempt in Baghdad. Although Massu’s time in Iraq was cut short, his ties to his homeland remain close at heart.
Now, as he enters his first LCS playoffs, Massu reflects on the sacrifice his parents made all those years ago, one that has allowed him to pursue his dreams in the #LCS.

Massu has an amazing family. An immigrant family with a doctor for a father who is supportive of his son making professional video gaming his career? Even without the story they went through back in Iraq, this would be noteworthy. I am not a fan of FLY, but I hope to see Massu have a lot of success in the LCS moving forward!
What a wonderfully told story. Equal parts sad, touching, inspiring, and hopeful. Very happy to have an episode of DRIVE with one of the resident rookies, as I've thought a few times this split that I don't really know much about most of them. Also very happy that Massu and his family were willing to share their story. Seems like he's got an amazing family behind him, and it's always so touching to see a family / parents so passionately supporting their child who plays in the LCS. Great episode!
Massus Dad a hero ! First to survive and make it home to his family , then to move his family across the globe to secure a safe future . Also brave for him to allow his son to pursue his passion . Pro dad !
Just want to say, I may not be a Fly fan, but i'm a Massu fan now. ✊🏽
11:30 seeing his dad struggle to find words because of how much he missed Fahad, that's real man❤
Between DRIVE coming back (hopefully more in the future!) and PROs this has been by far the best year for off the rift content from the LCS. WP Mark Z, WP
now we just need Next Level to come back sadge
The part at 1:21 was so adorable, MY FEELS!! 🥺
His dad is awesome. Was already a big fan of Massu from watching him pop off last year in academy, hope he continues to be successful in the 2024 playoffs!
Thank you LCS & Drive for highlighting an Arab immigrant 🙏🏻♥️ really puts a smile n tears on my face to feel represented this way.
6:25 what a crazy story, holy... good on him. Gl Massu, your dad is a legend.
I’m not crying, you are!!!
Please make more of these, we need to get to know the players more.
I’ve watched since season 2 and there’s very little connection to the teams and players nowadays
Enough to make a grown man cry :') keep going Massu!!!
How can you not be a fan of Massu after this? Great series, Drive always delivers!
Such a story holly got me all teary even as a C9 fan gonna root for Massu hope he becomes the next doublelift
Massu has gained a new fan today. Rooting for you man keep it up
Finally best series of lcs time to rewatch all the old drives
Goddamn, nothing pulls at my heartstrings like supportive parents. Someone must be cutting onions because I'm in shambles over here. Thank you LCS for sharing this story with us.
Incredible emotional story. Really gives a dimension to the player. Please keep them coming!
One of the more wholesome things to ever come out of League of legends in a long time
حبايبي 💙 ربي يحفضكم، احبكم هواية و مشتاقلكم هواية هواية💙
My favorite LCS content series is back and it's about one of our new rookies! Most Challengers fans will know Massu (aka the "WiFi Wizard") and his accomplishments, but I didn't even know his family background nor what his dad did for the safety of their future. Incredible story, much love to your family Massu.
crying in my room for like 10 minutes straight from this story. the love and support of this family is amazing. i hope Massu succeeds in league and everything else he puts his mind to in the future. Im a fan
I'll be rooting for Massu!
I hope he finds long term success in LCS! He’s been great this year!
His father is a great man, world would be such a better place if there were more fathers like him.
The last time I saw drive was probably Akadian I guess. It's been years since that video was released and is still memorable. Keep these coming LCS, you guys are doing great.
This is one of the most incredible and meaningful pieces Riot has ever created. Thank you for this.
What a wonderfully touching story. I'm a C9 fan forever, but I am a Massu fan for life. Can't wait to see what else he accomplishes ❤
Holy moly, was already rooting for Massu as NA talent but now I am a fan for sure.
Massu really gonna be something special, what a crazy story.
Wow, I'd wanna just give them a hug.
Let us pray the DRIVE curse doesn't strike once more.
I think the curse is on "eyes on" no on drive
Contractz won even though he had a drive about him. Yeah it was a bit after, but still.
I don't know if the curse should be applied to drive or flyquest
I’m kinda praying it does because I always pray on FLYs downfall
@@ZaddySeeBot average 100t fan brain
Much love to Massu and his fam ❤ Ramadan Mubarak to them and to everyone who is participating ❤
I thought for a second that this is a Dune 2 promotion video with Timothy Chalamet :D didn't know lisan al gaib is on FlyQuest
💀
I had the exact same thought from the thumbnail haha
Fly fan and great to see Massu’s story and what a loving family he has. Hope y’all win this weekend 💚
A very inspiring story. May God bless Massu and his family for every ounce of struggle they have been through. And I wish you well in playoffs :)
This is awesome! Super excited to see more from Massu!
DRIVE back with a wholesome family story. Wonderfully heartwarming.
I hope his family will be there in studio to watch his playoff run 😊
amazing video, huge props to his family for doing this! Massu and Sniper have mega plot armour so cant wait to see them in the final!!!
Well damn... I guess I'm a Massu fan now... Great video!!
Wow, that was a really touching story.
Not just your parents but anyone who's family has had to start over from zero can take comfort in the next generation (you) making the most of it ! Keep going !
What an awesome story - already love this FLY roster, love it even more now knowing more about this bloke and his fantastic family. FLY Fighting, Massu Fighting!
Did I just find my new favorite player in the LCS?
omg who is not going to be a Massu fan after this
Missed drive one of the best league content format ever
Thank you LCS team for making this. What absolutely beautiful content and I'm so excited to watch Massu and Fly on friday!
Well now he has to get rookie of the year.
oh i hope massu stays in the lcs for a few years and grows. He def has some ints in early lane but first place for his first split is something. bwipo, jensen, and inspired could be a rock that finally lead to another dominate lcs team like tsm, TL of old.
We need more episodes of the drive
Haven't really been watching this year. NA is the only Bo1 region now, and I personally find that boring. But this was actually inspiring. I'm watch all of the playoffs, and I'll be rooting for FlyQuest. Something about self-sacrificing fathers really gets to me. I cried twice in this.
So glad Drive is back! What an inspiring story. More of these videos please!!
To think that he is going to China and MSI and could be an LCS champion. Great story!
Pretty incredible story. Crazy to see the sacrifices parents make for their children.
Such an awesome entry. Thank you DRIVE for giving us more insight into an incredible new rookie 🙏
As always, the DRIVE series is GOATed. We need more of these!
beautiful story. i am happy massu and his family are safe and doing great :)
need to make more videos about player stories, it really helps us develop a connection with the players. Beautiful story.
LCS Content has gotten so much better. I am going to assume Mark is behind it all and thank god. You're the man! keep it up! LCS has been fun to watch this season.
Massu fan for life
I’ve got so many memories from my three years deployed in Iraq from 2004-2009. I loved the local friends I made. I wish to see them again. This story I was waiting to see before bedtime. Now I can meditate and relax about my good memories of my time there. 🇮🇶 Thank you to your family, and you for your sacrifices and hard work. I am sorry for any pain our occupation may have caused you.
Love this series and love this story in particular.
Great story. Best of luck Massu!
Beautiful, I'm not crying you're crying
What a story! Best wishes Massu for you and you family. Also super happy to see the DRIVE series again!

Beautiful story and family. I feel blessed just getting to watch this. Thanks.
Very good episode. We need a monthly drive
Honestly loving these new content vibes. This really let's us love the players for being the players. Teams change year after year. But our love for the players are so much stronger.
Great way to bring in playoffs
So happy to see a Drive about Massu!!
Big LCS W can't believe Drive is back.
Thanks Mark!
Really nice story, thank you LCS
