    Know what I love about GBay’s videos? He explains everything in a manner in which a five year old who has never heard of League of Legends could still watch, without being condescending to the rest of us. It’s brilliant.

      Yes, very great point lol
      For me, I experienced it as a refresher and nostalgia. I can't help but to feel butterflies seeing moments played out I watched live so long ago. I'm rooting like I'm watching it for the first time live again on the edge of my seat over other people playing a video game I already know the conclusion to, and yet Gbay makes it feel just as entertaining and enjoyable as seeing it through fresh eyes.

      This is one of the reasons why i think winning worlds is overrated in a way. There have been great players that have never won worlds. Unfortunatly it doesnt only take emence skill, but also requires u to be on the right team at the right time. Some players get dragged along the finishline. Some deserve it more then others. Sometimes its just not ur day. Some who deserve it, not unlike deft, never make it. Yet the fans will only remember the winners. Since they are just in for the storyline and not properly analizing everyones skilllvl.

    • @Kepitano
      @Kepitano Před 4 měsíci +9

      @@ChoB1den I agree mostly but fans DO remember players for their skill. Chovy and Doinb make a perfect opposite example imo. While Doinb won worlds, it seems like nobody talks too much about him or remembers him. On the other hand, Chovy has never won a worlds title but he is still very much praised for his mechanical skill.

    • @ChoB1den
      @ChoB1den Před 4 měsíci +3

      @@Kepitano ive talked to enough people who say chovy is not as good as other mids, bcs he didnt win International events. He is consistently shting on lck mids wich is arguably more impressive though. These people are obviously completely wrong. Its seems like they take only outcomes into consideration, rather then actually analizing the player.

    • @Kepitano
      @Kepitano Před 4 měsíci

      @@ChoB1den yeah. the majority of fans are lower rank than Emerald (and a huge chunk don't even play ranked) so it's not a surprise they don't have an accurate understanding or make an analytical argument for pro players. I'm not saying you can't have an opinion on them but surely the Diamond analysts at the desk would make a more valuable point of view.

      ​@@ChoB1den well ultimately what happens in the LCK stays in the LCK. People don't care so much about what happens far away. The problem with Chovy isn't that he never won Worlds, it is that he consistently underperforms in international events. Most people who only watch these events naturally think he's overrated and you can't blame them.

    Absolutely the best documentaries and essays about League of Legends esports out there. Captures the history, the emotions, and the stories of this sport and all of the players and orgs involved in the most true and real way imaginable. I've been watching LoL esports since Worlds 2014 and I always well-up when watching your videos Gbay, because you really do tell the stories and histories in the sport in the way they deserve to be told.
    P.S. Deft is my personal favourite player of all time, easily best Ezreal player ever in the world by a light year, and there is not a story in LoL quite like his.

    I love these documentaries, you format it so well. One criticism I have for future documentaries, which isn't even anything big, is that as a narrator you end some of your sentences at a higher pitch. It makes it sound like you're asking a question whereas if you instead lower your pitch at the end of the sentence (you do this half the time) it makes you sound more authoritative and knowledgeable about the topic. I think it's some sort of public speaking psychology trick. Again, not a huge thing, just a small change that could help I think. Keep up the great content!

      ​​@@jerrytang5888it feels more like they filmed and released it because fans were complaining about there being none, rather than them actually planning it in advance, which is really disappointing. the fact there was none of his actual former or even current teammates in the docu was bafflingly funny, yet sad to me. a lot of t1 fans act like they're the management sometimes, way too much, but in this case, they're right. not planning out a documentary for the 10 year anniversary of the player who is basically your whole organization and the goat of his game, is just really bad. even if faker doesn't care about it, which i'm sure he doesn't, it would just be the right thing to do. if i was in t1's video team, i'd be planning that thing since january 1st 2023 and release it on his anniversary date exactly. it would have been my priority. that would be the only sensible thing to do. but i guess t1 don't care enough for that. very odd organization when it comes to video content and fan treatment. i just like that they treat their former and current players well financially and job stability wise. that's all they've got going for them. the video content? not it. the guma documentary was two times longer and so much better made - it's the documentary guma deserves, i loved it so much and i'm so happy he got it, but it begs the question of why this one was so lacking.

    Very nice work, loving your series so far 😁 if I may interject one critique, it's that during some of your narration, you end a sentence in a rising intonation, as if you were asking a question, but it was just a statement. Definitely not horrible, but it can be distracting sometimes.

    This is a great video. For context (if I remember correctly) the world championship was a wild one due to the Juggernaut patch right before worlds. This patch made huge changes to Garen Darius and Mordekaiser. Along with GP and Fiora reworks a patch or two prior the meta completely shifted to a top lane meta. Teams qualified for worlds on a bot lane centric patch and then we’re expected to play around these monstrously broken top laners. That could have been an issue for Deft and EDG at that worlds.
