- A small video on the history of how league of legends conquered the world. This was originally the introduction to my next documentary but slowly grew to such a large and interesting subject it clearly deserved a release of its own. Consider this a prequel to our next main documentary release!

It’s remarkable how you manage to create original League content after so many years in the scene. Flawless commentary, captivating storytelling and appropriate visuals (which must take a ton of editing and thinking). Great job as always.
A staple league youtuber! I coudn't agree more with you!
RIVER SHEN !
Couldn't have said it better myself
Oh God if Petu likes this it must be good.
@@taylorbrown3892 of course it is. It's Gbay!
It feels crazy how something as immense as League/Dota all stemmed from one guy making a mod. It's like a wildfire starting from the smallest spark.
I'm so glad you're back from the hiatus. It's easy to say your docs have become some of the best content on CZcams.
i think he very well explained exactly the opposite! it did not stem from one guy. it was one guys idea that he made open source and allowed people to build on. fucking legend that dude!
a lot of genres came from people making a fun mod for a game. Just look at battle royal
TBF that's how Pubg and Fortine was created. Or idea behind them, one zombie mode from soem Arma game.
he doesn't mention the big contribution from icefrog perfecting dota
@@RicKyngs can you explain it?
if crazy to see decade old footage of league with Malphite in it and realizing that he still has the same model and animations in 2022 lol
They had a rock solid design!
still farming drama in 2022.
Teemo, Cho, Shaco, Zilean, Veigar and many more.
Love the rich history of gaming and league of legends. Amazing doc thank you !
Yeaaaa Manco sup pal
yow i always watch your teemo vids ., im a FAN . 😁
Its Interesting that pretty much all of the biggest multiplayer games that are around today were originally community made mods for other games. Mobas (League and DotA) came out of mods for starcraft and warcraft. Tactical shooters (CSGO and Valorant) were came out of a mod for team fortress, Battle Royals (PUBG, Fortnite, Apex Legends) came out of a mod for ARMA. Its a shame that so few games have mod support these days.
also autochess
Wasn't cs a mod in halflife originally?
@@Lukeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii yes
@@Lukeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii yeah cs is a mod from half life and not team fortress lol
11:21 "This was a genre built by a collective group who were just trying to make something fun" - and that nails what I used to love about league, and the lack of which made me stop playing 3-4 years ago.
Still a fun game for me and I still love it, been playing since season 1 :)
@@Draxxuzownzu true, i feel the game didn't change (been playing since season 4) but i do agree that league is more fun when you don't know what your doing
You just cant take the heat of the competition. Its ok guy
@@beachlemon4845 Who're you talking to?
LET'S GO GBAY IS BACK BABYYYY
Enjoy while it last
And he does it again! Captivated from start to finish. Gbay mate, ur a legend, thank you. Cant wait for the next part
Gbay99 never fails to make a great documentary
I consider Warcraft III my favorite game of all time. I loved so many custom maps, but for some reason never liked DotA. Now I play League lol
So Wonderfully done, i couldn't think of anyone else to produce better documents then you did, so eager to watch pat 2 and 3 if it extends that long, so as league player who loves the game and community thankbyou for producing the doc.
Hey great to see you back man! I love the analytic/ documentary videos like this!
Seeing a video of yours pop up in my feed is such a Serotonin rush. I’ve loved every single video since you’ve made the switch to do more documentary-esc videos and it’s like waiting for the next video is like waiting for the next season of a show you love. Stellar job 💙
I do love how league is the perfect counterexample to corporate game design philosophy. It's incredibly dense with mechanics and depth to the point that you could play 200 matches that average over 30 minutes, and still basically have no fucking clue what you are doing and be worse than bronze. That's more than 100 hours and you still suck so bad that pretty much everything you are doing is wrong. It's also hyper competitive and people can really go very hardcore into playing it and trying to improve at it.
All that, and it was for a time the most played game out there and is still one of the most successful video games of all time. It's proof that you don't need to sand off all the edges of every game to be successful.
remember this game is free to play, but still makes tons of money on cosmetics
@@aoisora1445 its not free to play at all, you need to pay with real money or your times to unlock all the champ
I remember trading my LOL beta key for a HoN key because I thought LOL had sanded down Dota too much 😁
(I still agree with your comment, just a thought that made me smile while reading it)
league is inherently very addicting as a model even if you dont know what you're doing,the sheer amount of variables and constant new stimuli will make you enjoy playing it even if you are trash at it,but some people get weeded out because they quite literally have no idea what theyre doing ,but that's just their lack of reading
@@kristiandy2386 tard tier comment
Awesome and well written video Gbay! For someone who first started playing and learning about league at season 7, I found it extremely interesting to get a deeper look into the creation and early days of league.
You hit the nail on it’s head with this one.
Can't believe how it's been a few decades now since the first video game and so many games and changes that happenned over the years. I almost can't believe it that it all happened on my lifetime if I didn't live it. All those old games and the atmosphere back then feels like a different lifetime.
The commentary is superb as always and watching how you document these things feels like history is being chronicled everytime. Thanks for the amazing content as always!
This was great! You have always made some great docs. I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of this series!
Your channel deserves so much more love Gbay. Your work is amazing.
Honestly! Thank goodness youtube did something right and recommended this video. I had all but forgotten about my favorite LOL review channel. Awesome video. I hope the rest of your viewers get to see this on their home page.
Nice to see a video from you again! It was as good and insightful as always! Can't wait for pt. 2!
Wow this was incredible to watch, thank you. Looking forward to part 2
Fantastic!! So glad to see you back at it. Can't wait for the next video.
Another solid video Gbay! Your work is always so well thought out and put together. Looking forward to the continuation!
amazing. you have to keep telling the untold and foundational stories my man. love it
Glad you're back with more fresh content. Hadn't seen one of your videos in too many years but glad I searched for one. I was gonna pause and listen to the basshunter song and probably go to sleep but when you posted the clip of it I kept watching (paused to laugh my ass off) and thoroughly enjoyed learning so much more about a genre of game I've been playing for over a decade. Thanks gbay for the years and years of content. I hope your life is good my dude.
Really happy to see you getting another documentary out Gbay! Wishing you the best!
He's back.
Welcome back, Goldbay! Been playing league since Lucian came out in season 3, been a filthy addict ever since! love your work
Always a pleasure seeing you pop up in the feed! Great vid with the teaser...OOOF I'm excited
Even though I've stopped playing League for the third time (for more than a year), getting to know more about its story is great. Thanks for another wonderful upload, keep them coming!!
Reinstall you won’t
Great watch, ready for the next part!
This was amazing to watch.
Thank you for all the effort that probably went into this.
So cool to have a new documentary !
Wonderful documentary I missed your content and I'm so happy to hear your insights again
Fantastic work, as always
It's a joy when you release a video
Glad you're back GBay. Been watching you for years and you're truly on one of the best creators
just the other day i was wondering when the next gbay video was!
nice to see you back looking forward to it
Another well done documentary. I'm a big fan of how you present narratives and i'm looking forward to part 2!
Glad to see you back marking documentaries!
I was missing this kind of content, the fact that you left that cliffhanger at the end caught me off guard.
Keep it up Gbay, I'm a fan!
So happy to see you in my recommended feed!!!
Wow what an enjoyment this video was, legit didn't feel 16 min go by, cannot wait for part 2
I started playing League when Cassio came out. That was also the day I discovered I had a thing for Monster Girls.
Thank you, Riot Games
What’s your opinion on Bel‘Veth?
too based
@@philipp5756 dat Bel'Vussy got me acting strange

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GLAD MY BOY GBAY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How!? I get goosebumps every time you put out a documentary! Thank you for this one homie
What an incredible documentary, I'll be looking forward to the second part
Absolute banger. Been watching you since season 6 :3 not all your docs hit my interest but they are all extremely well done!
Underrated channel! You deserve more views and visibility. I love your content ♥️
Hooray!!! Welcome back:) Thank you for another interesting introductory video.... NEED MORE...
Glad to see you back mate 😍
Loved the doc
Brooo! This cliffhanger, oh my god! Cant wait for the followup :) Good job Gbay!
I really love your content! You clearly put a lot of effort into it and it DOES make the videos that much better. This one was very interesting to me in particular because I never truly knew the origins of lol. I always thought dota2 came first. Looking forward to the video you are working on now :)
This video is amazing. The work and investigation you put in is astonishing. I really enjoyed it!
Great video, just as always! Can't wait for the next episode
im so happy to see you make video again! i've been following you since the OG road to diamond =) keep up the good work!
Another banger. Watching this flooded me with so much nostalgia for the early days of MOBAs. Looking forward to what's coming next.
You deliver like always Gbay. Thanks for the video on this fine Friday. Have a nice weekend :)
Glad to see you posting, goldbay
Here after the “to be continued”, a master piece. Love your editing style and videos.
The ending got me hyped! Keep up the amazing work, sir, you are one of the good ones!
has to be faker right?
Hey buddy, glad to see you still at it! coming up on 8yrs since I started watching you.... crazy
dude i genuinely MISSED you !! like ... i just love it when you post
Long time no see. Glad you're back with another awesome video.
Such an epic comeback from gbay. Awesome video
Glad to see Gbay99 in my recommendations again, haven't seen on of your vids in ages
love your vid quality
This video was awesome! Some other things that made league so amazing back then were the special gamemodes like:ascension, doom bots, legend of the poro king, black market brawlers, hexakill, etc. Login screens were always so hyped to see and hear, we had more community videos showcased by riot like: stickfigure spotlight, summoner showdowns, how to be annoying in league of legends series, etc. Its so crazy where league has come and gone to!
One other map thats not in this video was a special, magma 1v1 map!
Like always, greatjob on this amazing video! keep up the good work
Great video, can't wait to see the next one!
there better be a continuation! that was so enticing, i had no idea about the LoL development, very appreciated bro
love seeing you back man
Amazing quality doc. Thanks Gbay
Love seeing a Gbay99 upload!
Amazing dude, cant wait for the next part
Always a pleasure to hear from gbay !
Amazing video! Can't wait for part 2!
Fascinating video as always!
CZcams didn’t notify me about the video, I can’t believe I almost missed it
Saw on the patreon. Was such a great vid!
Love these videos keep em coming G!
damn that cliffhanger at the end, you've done it again Gbay, yet another great video.
You are back
GBAY happy to see content from you
The mad documentary man is back with a banger and he’s not gonna stop
Always much love Gbay, glad to see you here again!
This was really good! Can’t wait for the next video!
I WANT THE NEXT EPISODE. Damn Gbay you’re still an incredible content creator.
For real, I got goosebumps at the end.
Love the video . nice to see back again .
Off topic but I gotta say it, I thought of you a couple a day ago and here it is a new video, dope no doubt, but I went back to see the first Road to Diamond series you've made. To this day that is the best and most fun league content made. 6 years went by if I'm correct and nothing's changed. Thank you and cheers man!
Loved the video, you always find the story within the history
Another banger by the most consistent LoL documentary maker. Cant wait for the “to be continued” video
really well structured and interesting video as always C:
He's back! Missed you lad, hope you're well
Fantastic video gbay!!
Holy this is gonna be a big video I can already tell.
I've been watching you since you started practically, first video I saw was your 10 Tips and Tricks video for League of Legends and then your art of war Video
Just wanted to say I'm so glad you found your niche after so many years and you stuck with CZcams, thanks for the content and good luck in the future
PS: When I think of you, Yorick is the first Champion that pops in my head , not Irelia
Good video, nice visuals and great storytelling
It's good to see you posting again.
I have two comments on youtube (this is one). This video is so well done, captivated every second. The music, editing, way you present information. 10/10 content
YEAH BABY NEW GBAY VIDEO THATS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Welcome Back GBay. Always a lovely day when I see you in my notifications :)
This showed up late even though im subbed to you, amazing video as always!
another banger good sir!! very well done :)
