The Story of Uzi
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- In any game, there are names that transcend the titles, the highlights, the moments. Names that defied the odds and defined competition. Names that will triumphantly echo through the ages. Names that will never be forgotten.
Uzi’s name is already etched in the League of Legends history books. He was a mechanical genius in the game’s early days and was the first player to make consecutive World Finals. He was the poster child for his country’s esports scene, the face of China’s belief that it could challenge Korea.
Today, Uzi is the face of a new movement. China doesn’t need to believe they can challenge Korea anymore - they’ve proven that they can.
This is his story.

I think League needs a Hall of Fame, just like professional sports, to recognize players even though they haven't won championships. I feel like that would give them something else to look forward too as well.
can't agree any more!
faker cried tho. cause they didnt let him play carry lol
Faker, Uzi, Rookie, Doublelift, Rekkles, Ambition.
@@Leyrann soaz
Agreed! Only if it was super exclusive tho. Has to be the BEST of the best.
Uzi's call on the 10 sec QSS cooldown is iconic
knowing the enemy's spell and item cooldowns is actually very helpful and its very hard to keep track of small informations like that specially on a stage such as this one but he managed and thats a real pro player
He was so calm at that time. That's the key info for them to take down the ADC of KZ and to win the match with a 6K economy lag. The accuracy could be proved if you check the inventory of KZ. PraY.
I know how he did that, if you look closely. You can see how his own QSS is about ready. He probably used that as a marker to initiate the team fight
goosebumps
Its just epic ... So epic I was tearing up
I hate how these stories make me feel bad for teams I've rooted against...
So true, makes me feel the same way
That's better than people who have unjustified hate towards teams. Respect them
victory of one - tragedy of another
its called being a weak pussy
You learn a lot about people through their struggles.
Competition breeds struggle. The person comes out, typically is worthy of respect, regardless of his performance. :^) now go get a life >:O
"It's like protect the Doublelift, except more effective" lmao
Roi I miss Monte. lol
DL just hangs his head in shame, because he knows it was true.
@@GeekOfArabia for the longest time, DL alway said that hes Uzi's fan boy
Yeh it’s true but DL is a great player too.
@@JL-bx2uf haha lol lol lol
The name never give up seems way too accurate
This channel could be a TV show.
fr
Should be* haha
People still out there thinking TV is something better or above the internet?!
@@jem3588 no shit genius
Is it one already?
Gotta say the thing I liked about uzi si how he reflected how stressful it can be to be a pro player. He tended to feel more real then other players.
Bang and Wolf also said this. Watch their final SKT video in SKT T1 channel
Wait did they, alright ima look it up.
uzi really looks like a human, who has feeling and emotion-passion ,confidence, complaceence, drown, introspection, and never given up.
its iconic that his team name is rozal never give up
UZI has retired from League of Legends. UZI had Royal Never Give Up attitude & became the best ADC to ever touch League of Legends. A lot of people & I will miss watching him play. Best of luck to your future UZI, Legends never die! GOAT!🐐
Fast forward to 2023, he's returned and on EDG :v
i'm almost going to cry from this, so know even though i'm not fan i want him to win before he retires, like seriously he needs it
same idk why but i was tearing up at a few moments in this lol
nynetynyne 3>0
That qss call on pray is already like a worlds trophy tbh.
agreed I want him to win and finally make his dream come true
Wait he never won worlds
Who came to see this again after hearing about his retirement :(
😭
QAQ
here. uzi out
The King without WC
me。。。
He just retired. This is the second time I watch this, and I can't stop crying.
Shit. Just saw that EDG be eliminated,I’m cringing 😭
Uzi always been my #1 ADC, even before i knew of his past performance, i saw him play two games and knew he was a god. I dont have a favorite specific LPL team, because my favorite team is always the one Uzi is on.
Uzi and Mata are the two players I will always cheer for. 👍
First time I saw Uzi was 2014 in the SHRC vs SSW game, and I really couldn't bring myself to cheer for either team over the other since they both performed so well in their games.
Uzi: you guys need to frontline. I have to dive their backline
for an adc that sounds like suicide
But its ok because my mans is playing kaisa....
but he was right, it was the only way
even the other dude is like "REALLY?!?!" lmao
That's what low ELO ADC thinking about, standing backline forever.
yh i would have never known about his side of the story ever unless this video was made , since i am not a hardcore leauge fan but this made me feel so good for uzi
Uzi amazes me. Watching his games are amazing because as an adc his positioning is just incredible. I'm always saying "How does he do it?"
Implemented script in his head. :^)
well.... he is a legend, we are not, thats the difference
Genius plus masterful mechanics. But I think Uzi tilted on the Game 5 quarters vs G2.
This is almost the best esports channel I've ever seen. Thank you so much. I almost cried at the end of the vid. Uzi is my favorite player, hope he can win the world championship before retirement. He really deserves it.
han zheng 🙏🙏🙏
His only weakness: Wards

And SKT
@@gokuhrealosa8672 uzi is retiring Bro. Rip
@@xplod012 wtf are you bullshiting, he is not retiring. I hate people like you who just pull shit out of there ass.
I just fell in love with someone I've never heard of in 30 minutes. I will have my eye on Uzi for the rest of his League career. An absolute legend.
The best adc ever. Period. Mechanically. Laning. And I just hope that next year, he wins it all. He really deserves it.
uzi背负的压力很大啊
he might retire this year. He is deciding right now
Legends never die.
They become a part of you.
Corvin worst boy lul
@Corvin worst boy then rise became the theme song when other region also rise
@the big s u c c Faker cried more than ever in his career
@Mirio Miro Mero I have another theory. If SKT never fell, the game we call League will probably not be so amazing as it is today.
@22:52 Did anyone else have to hold back tears of happiness for Uzi finally winning?
i was crying lol
Sadly,uzi retired today . League of legend official website even changed their forum to League of uzi. Respect shown
Happy retirement legend...It feels so sad :( Thank you for all the memories. Not many players were respected by everyone, but you were one of them. You are the greatest ADC Of All time.
he is cominf back next season maybe
@@faker3033 is there any gossip?
@@hornyakakoska he said so himslef there is a clip on yt actually
Uzi and rng bombing out of worlds 2019 group stage :(((( feelsbadman
sugal As a FNC fan , I have to say it really feelsgoodman
@@BubbleBrawler as a FPX fan, I have to say the same thing as u did. AND EZ GAME EZ LIFE. Peace
@@BubbleBrawler as fpx fans I feels really good they kick fnc
the runner up for the GOAT title and not winning the title he DESERVES to win really pisses me off, i stoped watching worlds after the loss to G2 last year and i stoped after that loss against FNC, i know its my problem and shit, but still, angers me so fucking much, literal rage lmao
i have issues
Uzi deserves a trophy lol
i remember the day well. I cried and shouted alone in my student accommodation. I was so happy my team finally won an international.
Uzi has the total respect of all the LoL community. Feels bad he didn't win a championship. Best adc for years !!
Watched over 20+ videos i never get bored you are awesome keep up the good work
Thank You Uzi for so many plays. Hope your health gets better, you will be remembered as the ADC God
I love you guys! Keep up the good work
Rewatching this during worlds 2019 and I can safely say I think Uzi will go down in the league books as a legend
unlucky how rng dropped out during groups yesterday so Uzi can't compete for the championship this year :c
I feel so bad watching this after 2019 groups just finishing and RNG not getting through there group against SKT and FNC.
I also saw LOL esports tweet that Uzi is crying after they dropped from groups . Feel bad for him.
their
the fact that uzi is the one who counted qss cooldown, not mid or sp, speaks volume of how great of a player he really is.
Season 3 was the birth of two Kings The greatest King and The Uncrowned King and 2019 they're gonna meet again in the worlds Stage
Sadly, history has been repeated again by his old enemy FAKER... R.I.P Uzi...
I don't care that he's never won a championship. Watching Uzi win MSI was one of the most memorable moments and possibly the sweetest in League history. When he hoisted that trophy over his head, everyone of us who has striven for and tasted defeat felt as though we were right there with him.
Truly a god in his own right. I also think that if the meta is kinder to adc's in this coming season, he may well win a championship.
Can we talk about this video's tag? Why does it have "lil uzi vert" LMAO
Uzi is by far history's best ADC since he's come in, I really hope he gets that World's title before he retires, but hey, he's still only 21.
2019 will be fun for every region I think, can't wait.
Is there anyone here who wants to be an esports professional? If yes I hope you make it and one day TheScore esports make a video like this about you! :)
Aura ty
:)
Thanks man
Tankis verry mache
you are toxic but I like it
I mean, think about it, in every single game he played, we all know adc's are focused down like they should, but in the case of Uzi that is like 2x worse, every team know if Uzi dies they win, the amount of focus he lived through all these years of league of legends, is insane. He truly can't be touched on the adc role ever.
Here after Uzi's retirement announcement. One of the greatest players in league history.
I was nearly crying when Uzi won his first title this spring! Such a good player, not only mechanically a god, especially his mindset, his hunger to win it all! If there is something like destiny, than he has to win the world championship some day!
And i thought he would finally be a world champ this year, lol
Although I play and mainly make videos on what people consider ''traditional sports'' but this stuff is exhilarating purely because of the strategy technique hand eye coordination. And the story itself is something straight out of a movie. These guys are unbelievable its only a matter of time till Esports players become household names
I love the emotion of uzi, and how he gets so emotional and hyped I love that
I love your presentation on this. I've never really cared about Uzi nor paid any attention to him past the worlds matches he was playing in. You genuinely made me want to see him succeed from watching his story.
I now realize that the stories in The Kings Avatar isn't that far fetched
You guys bring so much more than the casters and analysts do in that 30 min intro they always have before big events , they should really reach out to you so id actually watch the preview talks about the teams
How can you not like this guy after that video! I realy hope his dream comes true!
What I love about these videos not only cause you don’t have to understand the game to enjoy the story you also don’t even have to watch I listen to these when I make dinner
thescore esports: uzi may just be remembered as the greatest player period.
Faker: hold my beer
Antonio Gragasin the disrespect is real lmao. The kid hasn't even won worlds yet.
And with the new SKT 2019 night just be League of Legends: Korea Strikes Back
You all need to remember. Uzi has won over faker for the last 2 years in the all-star one v one tournament. Uzi as it currently stands is the best player.
@@weslemons9840 Faker hates 1v1 he even lost to bjergsen one time and he doesn't even care if he wins remember league is a team game does not matter how good you are alone when you can't work with your teammates.
Faker is past his prime tbh, even tho he's clearly the best player to ever play the game but uzi is still in his and is the best adc to ever touch the game and probably the best player after faker. The only other one that could take that seat is weixiao, but he retired too early to be remembered.
Uzi Is truly the Greatest player ever. Faker had difficulties as well, and had trouble a few years back.
But he never had the same struggle as Uzi.. I hope Uzi will hold the WCS Trophy in his hands one day.
He truly deserves it! Best League of Legends player, PERIOD!

Can you please, please redo THE STORY OF FAKER. His story deserves more
Fantastic video. He's absolutely the BEST ad carry in my mind.
Thank u UZI
He really deserves a worlds championship win.
a king without a crown.
2019 worlds and Uzi didnt even make it out of groups. feelsbadman
Does anyone know the soundtrack/music played around 21:10 when they talk about IG? It sounds like it was straight out of a movie :O
the story of score & kt
Kedar Ram Stop it, he maybe pitiful, but as long as achievement goes, he doesn’t deserve one.
I've waited so long for this one. I love you eScore for recognizing one of the world's greats!
Who’s here after finding out that he retired?
royal never give up never gave up and it paid off, even today as they are the 2021 MSI Champions
It's a sadder story when you realize Uzi probably would have won with DoinB
very well made. Had goosebumps through the whole vid
Came back after uzi cried getting knocked out 😭
And now, world group with Fnatic and SKT.... that's gonna be EPIC
LeoAlbus R. And CG. Huni asks for it. This is going to be the best group of death in the history
@@ivierdp1951 ... Say sike right now... OH MY ZEUS.... That's not group of death, that will be group apocalipse!
I feel terrible. Whenever i look at that smug midlaner's face(G2 Perkz) , i really feel terrible.
LOL i had exactly the same feeling. Just happen to be reminded every youtube video i watched lately about Uzi or RNG. And then there is that RNG coach accepting the Coach of the year award for LPL, and he struggled with words, only to say he was very sorry for RNG not doing well at worlds. Terrible lol
Easy, ocelote. Lol
That RNG EDG game 4 spring split final was the best casted game I've ever heard. There was so much passion out of the casters from minute 1. What a game and what a story
Tanner Bolin I will always remember that game
Great video awesome job
LEAGUE needs a hall of fame. Call it hall of legends or somethin idk. This guy is one of the greats
You know, 4-5 years with out winning a championship isnt crazy.
Jedimindfunk for someone as mechanically skilled as him it’s pretty surprising though
Jedimindfunk it is when he has been one of the best players in China for the past few years
Actually for ESports, it is. Compared to traditional sports, careers of pro players are significantly shorter.
@@jamarmontehermoso2951 we dont really know that since the league industry has been going on for only 8 years and players like soaz have been there since the beginning and he isnt planning on retiring any time soon
But i know that guy who just cant win championship since 2010, and his name is soO. This sc2 pro player already have 6 GSL silver medal, WCS silver medal, GSL vs the word silver medal etc...
this almost made me shed a tear ALMOST!!!!! Still great content and I will cheer Uzi on
uzi has retired from pro plays, take care of yourself
It just cant be stressed how well these videos are put together, amazing job!
Best video ever
Nah, Story of Bengi is the best so far.
@@WasimulAkram probably for you it is the best, i admire uzi, so for me this is the best story.
The last few sentences in this video is the best part
15:30 i cried there
Whats even crazier is his injuries throughout the regular splits in 2018. Him taking breaks and coming back for playoffs just to dominate! Uzi is a legend!

You will never be forgotten. The best adc player to ever exist.
I've got to say that he's now really infamous in China for being toxic and arrogant, especially during the match against G2. No one was expecting an upset like that.
dude this was captivating, had me cheering like hell for the kid
love your content
as a Chinese ,I almost cry seeing your comments.thank you very much to support uzi.you have no idea how many nasty words did he heard in china.thank you
History of mata plz ... second best player all time the man with 5 challenger account in each role and the reason why wards got nerfs
Your avatar says it all. I agree though.
You bet i am a big fan of mata yellowstar bunny fufuu madlife kasing... best thresh players ever
Best Thresh for years.
I really love Mata and Madlife Thresh mechanics
I dont think mata is the best thresh maybe a top 5 sure. But he my fav player he got a macro and micro game super outstanding. For me the best thresh is bunnyfufuu mechanical cuz he basicly a one trick thresh. Madlife is a good thresh cuz he predict the people he so so good with every champ with hook and snares. Theirs a guy every year is number 1 with thresh in the world used to have guardian thresh but now is hook master sadly no stream :(
For me:
Bunny
Madlife
Mata
Yellowstar
With thresh
1 faker
2 uzi
3 mata

Will you do Forgiven ??
Dudes are adc IRL rn. LUL
he ended up his career with type 2 diabetis and chronic wrist pain, he was the hardest working player to ever touch league and he will pay that the rest of his life a price to high IMO
The only reason G2 won vs RNG was because RNG was way too cocky look at their reaction when they drew g2 & how they played. If RNG play properly next year they have a high chance to win Worlds.
not gonna hapens as this team is not going to be there..

I'm EU, but I support every team that are not korean or chinese (I support taewanese team) during world but I think that If Uzi won, I would be so fucking happy. He deserve a world champion title more than anyone.
2018 worlds quarter finals game 5 where uzi turned into a water gun.
If UZI is gonna win worlds sometime in his career.. I m gonna cry so fucking hard.
Story of ssw or imp please
Are we not gonna say the fact that Phong Vu Buffalos from Afreeca's and G2's group took a game off the Flash Wolves which gave G2 a chance to make it out of groups in a tiebreaker match which G2 of course won. Lets hypothesize here, If Phong Vu lost to Flash wolves, Flash would've ended 4-2 and G2 esports 3-3, with Afreeca taking 1st in a tiebreaker match, giving the second seed to the flash wolves, and in G2 place in the quarterfinals, RNG would've faced against Flash wolves with RNG winning and face iG in a probable 5 game series with RNG winning it letting them steamroll to the cup. the fact that phong vu got gave g2 a chance to make it out of groups and with g2 beating RNG in game 5 in quarters astonishes me.
Yep, PVB played spoiler and they helped G2 to qualify to quarterfinals. I think whether RNG had faced FW or AFs if the draw would have gone the same way (have to say it, the events would have completely changed, not another hour to play the tiebreaker, for example, it was going to result in a different draw), RNG would have won that, another thing that may have changed everything, it's if RNG had banned Alistar, the only champion G2 supp could play effectively, if they'd have done that, they may have won 3-1, losing that, it gave momentum to G2.
On the other hand, iG improved through the tournament, from the side of RNG, top and mid reached their limit, mentally as well, it'd probably have been a close series against iG, but, iG may have ended up winning this time. Teams that improve or impose the meta, always end up winning the World Championship, with RNG gone, iG also was the best fast paced team left in the tournament, a reason why they outclassed both EU teams.
15:52 At the corner of my eye on the Trending Stories: Neeko is gay...
Well spotted. You must be very sensitive or reactive to certain words.
For me, Uzi is the greatest ADC in LOL history, even though he's never been a world champion.
uzi should join faker in the esport hall of fame
that's probably only gonna happen when he wins worlds(but i don't see that happening with the new skt lineup)
lol cmon that lineup didnt show anything yet
its only fair to think they will, its a line up of ace players from top LCK teams. literally everyteam's best player in one team.

I'd love a Story of Mata, Imp, PawN. 👍
The fact that Royal Club are “Never give up” is so fitting
I still don't understand why he's called a "best player".
Sorry if I offended anyone.

oveerrraaated right? LOOOL
you are right, hes not even top10 this year, not even top10 in adc
he used to be good, in s3, thats it
Best adc player
What a journey he’s been through. He really deserves it man. It’s disappointing watching him play and lose, coming short is rough
