Dylan James Chang TBH. Would you be excited about a world championship where LPL never meets LCK (before S8)? Worlds is so great because it has stories to tell - a hard-trained warrior finally defeats the King. No king, no story, no need for warrior too.
Tactical Elite lol never.. most of Koreans always have cheered opponent teams of LPL teams! Koreans hoped that EU become a champion of worlds at Finals😂
@@candidaserpens i dont think it was the most hype because of the newer champions but because it was the first time european and NA teams actually showed up big
@@dVector13 Bwipo trashes talked way to much. Not only did he trash talk a c9 after a match instead of showing respect but then also calls out their top laner and brags about controlling the top side. Completely disrespectful. It's one thing to trash talk a team before a match as it builds up hype, but if you trash talk a team after the match you're just kicking a man while he's down. Anyway it doesn't matter. Baio got what he deserved: Theshy and Ning camped him hard and he went 0/5 at 17 minutes
Tbh I miss worlds 2016. It was how words should be. Sorry I can’t remember who SKT went against in the quarter but the semi and the finals..... ROX and SSG brought SKT to the BRINK. The BRINK of defeat. Honostly any of those 3 teams deserved to be world champions. Rox has that mf support pick and their overly aggressive style of play. SSG has some of the best comebacks ever (skt threw hard 2 games in a row). These last two years were kinda dissapointing. Once IG took out KT in game 5. They just went on a stomp, beating the European teams 6-0. If KT had won that game 5. They also would have just stomped the remainder. In 2019. Other than invictus. FPX had 0. Literally 0 competitions. While people complain about SKT and Korea winning worlds over and over, those worlds were intense, close. And even though Korea isn’t winning anymore, it’s just because China has so much of that Korea talent (like world champions, theshy, rookie, duke on the 2018 IG squad)
@@miketurns18 Well during the Korean reign, 2016 was the only one where the finals was intense. The KR vs KR in 2017 was 3-0 and in 2015 it was 3-1 but SKT was barely challenged. As for 2016, other than those two series, the rest were also pretty bland. Korean dominance didn't result in close series for the most part. And we saw what happened to China in 2015, when they tried to rely on importing korean talent. In reality, the reason why China finally won in 2018 is because they developed better talent in their own region. This is also why Europe is doing better now too. Europe and NA also both relied on korean imports starting in 2015 and not much came of it. But now full European rosters with young players are doing well.
Looking at this I can just feel all the emotions that went through me supporting Fnatic during the whole tournament, it makes me really sad for them, I loved every play they gave us to see, hoping that they'll come back even stronger
I think the most interesting thing in this season is that underdogs like G2 and C9 can actually advanced a lot after taking down lots of favourited teams. Once G2 and C9 get away, worlds not really feels as exciting as before. I think the most hype matches are G2 vs RNG and IG vs KT, more on the first than the latter because srsly, nobody expect G2 can do it at all.
The theme song of Worlds 2018 is by far the best song of Worlds so far! And this clip are insane! When Rise start to play in the last games until the final game are awesome! Every year before the Worlds i like to see this clip to start hype!
So pretty much everyone got what they wanted this year in a way. NA finally got a good run in worlds in a long time, EU "finally" proved that they are the best in the west, China with probably the biggest fanbase, got their first Worlds win after being in Koreas shadow for many years.
Worlds 2018 was amazing I really gotta say. Such good games, new stars stepped up, and we got another champion to see how they do defending such a difficult title. Congrats to IG and congrats to all teams that played. Dont let those hype beasts keep your region down, everyone played their hardest!
i come back every year to watch this. this worlds had so many memorable moments. c9 and vitality beating rng, g2 beating rng in that Bo5, the backdoor in game 3 of IG vs KT, jackey love flashing forward in game 5, the shy smurfing all over g2, licorice stealing nash with ornn. its just unfortunate that the finals was such a disappointment
I’m just happy I got to see C9 do well for once, and idc about the G2 series, the one I carried most about was the series against AF, unreal to watch last place NA team sweep the best Korean team.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE RIDE. Through it all, what a ridiculous journey for everyone involved. I had so many good hours with my dudes watching the tournament until we passed out on the couches and floor at 5 am, exhausted. I'd do it all again! STOKED FOR 2019. Grats to IG they got what they deserve; watching Rookie weep with a trophy in his hands about sums it all up.
This is what an absurd display of hubris over the course of a month gets you. GG to Invictus and the rest of the LPL, truly an amazing display through season 8. Looking forward to what season 9 holds for League.
As the casters said, it's not that FNC weren't humble. They had to show some bravado (it's basically policy in the EU lcs for riot made interviews, if you look at FNC own interviews, you hear Rekkles saying that if he loses he'll just try again) especially considering their opponent
@@Eliagiulio There's still a way to say things, "Bravado" isn't about trash talking everyone in semis because you had the easy draft. Look at how Rookie talked about every opponents saying they were crazy amazing so that in the end, it would be " not skills" but "dedication and will" that would decide the victor. Rekkles went and said everyone was below him literally downgrading his opponents. No respect deserves no wins. IG sportmanship's won the finals and they well deserve it.
@@senobi4618 He never talked down anybody, when we got to semis he was the best adc left in the tournament on paper. Saying that he can beat them isn't trashtalk. And he was one of the FNC members who played up to standards in the Final
@@Eliagiulio First, saying terms like I'm the best adc left would be fine, but let's define some things here. On the topic of the "best adc lef ton papaer", that argument has little to no back bone here. The first point that would explain why is simply who Fnatic had to face for those "statistic" to rely matters. So you got 100 thieves, G-Rex, IG, EDG and C9. Within those Fnatic drop 2 games to IG and EDG. It's easy to say Rekkles is better than Rikara, Sneaky, Iboy and the adc of G-Rex who's name evade me. Already his statistic will prove to be much higher than Jackeylove that has to go through Kt's bot lane, Doublelift and almost would've went again vs Uzi if it wasn't for G2's upset. Second of hand, it's excessively hard for Jackeylove to have stats like Rekkles when his solo lanes literally destroy games after games taking all the stats. Another argument is the champion pool, Rekkles never dominated anything, he simply picked champs that could push lanes until they were teamfighting were he was better, but honestly, caps and Bwipo did most of the work for the team to be ahead at that point. Again, going through easy teams would boost thoses stats. Jackeylove on the other hand played the most dominant champions in the meta and played very forward most of his game. Hi never played safe wave clear style. There's a reason why Uzi said he never wanted to scrim against him again because he was so intense no one could equal him in his best performing days. The third point is where lies the respect by the choices of words. Rekkles never said words like : I know I'm very good and I'll use this to make sure to win this Worlds. He said more words like : At this point, no one is has good as me so I don't see us losing. Have you any idea how much more competitive is China from Europe ? how much these players have to dedicate and work hard ? His basically saying that he's better then someone that went 37/5 in China and scared Uzi and won lanes vs Uzi constently. That in itself is insulting. To say other players are lower than you and horribly lose afterwards just show much a player he is. Rookie (who was considered by mostly everyone to be the best player of the tournement) always preached everyone he had to face and oftenly said they were just as good if not better but that his on dedication and will to win would prevail. That's what confidence AND respect his about. From the beginning, Rekkles and Bwipo has been saying a bunch of unrespectful comments towards other teams because they were excessively lucky for their draw. I understand that you're a big fan of Eu Lcs, but I do not preach teams that have horrible attitude like that. The fan basde really reflected Fnatic during the tournement, calling everyone trash on social media meanwhile people that followed G2 were one's of the best people I've seen. In the end, Fnatic were outclassed not due to "underperforming" but mostly because even on their best day, they were world apart from IG. Before you bring the Group stage part, Invictus had still so much doubt coming to this world. So at that point in the tournement, their own pressure was so high, Rookie puked almost everytime before he started a match. But once they won vs KT by the way they did, they realize they could just win it all and after that we all saw the level in which LPL is played. Teams like KT Rolster, Invictus, RNG and Griffin would've all win vs Fnatic.
@@senobi4618 yea hjarnan and breeze are insane adcs, and btw the only good adc jackeylove played against was deft and that was it. Doublelift has never had a good performance internationally so you cant tell me hes good. And fnatic also went 2-1 vs IG too so rekkles was probably a bit better than jackey after semis tbh
Cocky? That was the perfect self confidence a sportsman can have. Thats exactely what i wanted to hear from my Fnatic boys. Atleast they represented their region as the first seed unlike some other first seeds that didnt even made out of groups but still talked very big. All i want to say is that I am proud as an EU fan.
I think there is some weird psychology thing going in their heads. Its like their mouths say they won, but their brains say they are not focused or ready yet.
Yeah it's weird, he's always so humble, he always mentions how Uzi is better than him. But in this worlds, he just got super confident, he did make it to the finals though, so credit where credit is due, but I think he failed to see how good IG was.
@@oskarelysee9076 I see you get this in recommanded after 5 months aswell ...in EU , there is a thing that make you stop working hard to achieve a goal if you have to get through the same obstacles, It is bassically a european "disease" , in this case FNC beat IG twice in group and they thought they can do it again,they probably thought they already won and that is where the mental boom comes after losing the first game . Thank me later and dinate to help EU find a cure for this disease, i think it is called laziness in modern language .
@@16DarkOne16 I'm European myself, also I really don't think this is true. IG was performing way better in the final, they had improved great strengths over worlds. Fnatic had unfortunately not. Also in Rekkles case, he seemed to have forgotten about the "janteloven"
Watching League highlights/music videos makes me want to play again and feel the rush of being good; until I actually do it and I'm like NOPE! MISTAKES WERE MADE I AM DEFINITELY NOT GOOD!-
This is a riot! I've never seen professional gaming competitions! I'm sure I would be much more impressed if I did nothing but play this game for a couple of months!
watching the moment and memories videos from s5 to s8, it's really hard for any, any team in the world to shut korean teams down in world's. Finally someone did it.

This Worlds perfectly sums up season 8 as a whole. Underwhelming. I’m not sure if it’s just because SKT wasn’t in the running, but Worlds this year just didn’t even feel like Worlds to me.
If you don't play with confidence, you will never be the best. However, if you have no respect to the opposition, you can't rise to the top. I think this worlds prove that. What a worlds.
Alexis Bonte yeah? How about skt , their jgler has always been bad， you will always be trash no matter who you play with， it‘s not like playing with Faker the only god exist makes you a god， it makes no sense
Guess what, the solo laners of IG didn't even get a chance to show themselves cuz Ning finished fight already. Jackeylove for the Quaters, TheShy for the Semis, and Ning for the Final, so at the end of all, it wasn't Koreans carrying Chinese but the other way around.
For China and probably Korea a bit 2 it's all about IG. It's just about FNC for westerners. And it was pretty much only Rekkles being cocky and he himself did show up, it's just the others didn't. What a shame.
Subbing Soaz in game 2 could also be a bad choice. Theshy can play tanks and even threaten to solo kill you even though he is a tank or play a carry champ and destroy you in lane. while Soaz is only known with his Tank champion pool. while Bwipo he has this aggressiveness that FNC put on their trust that his playstyle can be on par with theshy. but theshy was on another level same with rookie.
Caped Baldy FNC has beaten IG before. It's not like IG is so good that no one had a chance, but FNC got too cocky and underestimated their opponents 🤷🏻♂️
The ultimate EU over NA moment was 2018 worlds. C9 vs FNC to see who would get to the World Finals. Can't believe C9 was that close to getting NA to the World Finals for the first time Instead there was 0 competition in the World Finals and IG got an easy win. GGs to them
Might not have been the result that the West wanted, but this worlds, the west showed that they can compete with the "best", I'm excited for next year!
Im very sad that Fnc dont do it but in this BO better team win so pls FNC dont give up anyhting and continue to make us dream you have been totally insane duri,g this tournamant so GG WP and see you next year with the cup in your hands
Best and Crazy year for the wildcard team also the start of lpl dominant and also the start of eu rising to the top and for the first time lck team is being destroy.

Teams like KT Rolster, Invictus, RNG and Griffin would've all win vs Fnatic.
@@senobi4618 yea hjarnan and breeze are insane adcs, and btw the only good adc jackeylove played against was deft and that was it. Doublelift has never had a good performance internationally so you cant tell me hes good. And fnatic also went 2-1 vs IG too so rekkles was probably a bit better than jackey after semis tbh
I think IG vs KT is early finals championship 2018
Never act cocky.
Yhea that was the mistake from fnatic ...(also they become to overconfident)
so true
Cocky? That was the perfect self confidence a sportsman can have. Thats exactely what i wanted to hear from my Fnatic boys. Atleast they represented their region as the first seed unlike some other first seeds that didnt even made out of groups but still talked very big. All i want to say is that I am proud as an EU fan.
“I dont see myself loosing this tournament”
“JackeyLove can’t stop me”
Proceeds to get 3-0d and look questionable with his champion pool of: Sivir
Orusuka hey, are you a fnatic fan? If not, where is your team at? Probably not playing at world finals, of that im certain.
Holy Moly that quarterfinals , is so sick amazing
2 EU and 1 NA team in the semis. how high up our hopes were. look where we are now
The moment Lol esport changed forever, before it was map control but from this year we see more action more brawl
"I just don't see us losing this tournament " Rekkles 2k18 LUL
"We've already beaten them twice. We've basically already won"
-Rekkles
I think there is some weird psychology thing going in their heads. Its like their mouths say they won, but their brains say they are not focused or ready yet.
Yeah it's weird, he's always so humble, he always mentions how Uzi is better than him. But in this worlds, he just got super confident, he did make it to the finals though, so credit where credit is due, but I think he failed to see how good IG was.
@@oskarelysee9076 I see you get this in recommanded after 5 months aswell ...in EU , there is a thing that make you stop working hard to achieve a goal if you have to get through the same obstacles, It is bassically a european "disease" , in this case FNC beat IG twice in group and they thought they can do it again,they probably thought they already won and that is where the mental boom comes after losing the first game . Thank me later and dinate to help EU find a cure for this disease, i think it is called laziness in modern language .
@@16DarkOne16 I'm European myself, also I really don't think this is true. IG was performing way better in the final, they had improved great strengths over worlds. Fnatic had unfortunately not. Also in Rekkles case, he seemed to have forgotten about the "janteloven"
I fell in love with everyone on C9 this year, I hope they keep the roster together because they can polish up and make it all the way.
4:43 the best moment this year
the things i'd do to have these times back
Watching League highlights/music videos makes me want to play again and feel the rush of being good; until I actually do it and I'm like NOPE! MISTAKES WERE MADE I AM DEFINITELY NOT GOOD!-
my birthday is the day this video was published (also worlds finals). its always the best time of year, watching worlds and then my birthday
Na fans shed tears this year, Both of joy and heartbreak. I think that’s something special
amazing editing omg I loved this video
proud of ig!!!!!!!!the shy jackylove are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Getting hyped for worlds 2020
This is a riot! I've never seen professional gaming competitions!
I'm sure I would be much more impressed if I did nothing but play this game for a couple of months!
Fnc lose because of eyes on curse and jatt's prediction. This is so sad can we hit a default dance
Jatt predicted 3-1 IG
Idc he still favored ig
FNC did lose because IG Was much better. Simple thing
Jatt also predicted in semis C9 3 - 1 Fnatic. But that was wrong. Its more like because of eyes on curse.
@@fabiohaller5692 he changed it to fnc 3-0
Not just a game, it’s sports
Kt vs IG maybe its the only bo5 that can reach the hype of ROX vs SKT
Nothing will ever top this Worlds in terms of hype
That was epic, still waiting for the 2019 song.
watching the moment and memories videos from s5 to s8, it's really hard for any, any team in the world to shut korean teams down in world's.
Finally someone did it.

TheAbleGaming Cpt Flowers over Monte,Doa and Deman? Hmmm
No love for ma boy Yamatocannon? I don't think we'll ever get a speech like that again.
Some of casters in Lol are good tho...When i watched a match ig vs kt...i was really impressed about him..almost Rap God level
TheAbleGaming well I loved Monte because he was such a triller. His SKT train in 2013 was amazing, and he could make Jin Air games interesting)
No rox vs skt 2016?
Thanks for this great Worlds ^^
5:04 legends will fall and new one will RISE! that song input at that moment tho lul
Better memory video than NBA playoffs lol
Anyways the editor of this video is just brilliant!!!
This Worlds perfectly sums up season 8 as a whole. Underwhelming. I’m not sure if it’s just because SKT wasn’t in the running, but Worlds this year just didn’t even feel like Worlds to me.
congrats skt for becoming 2018 world champs after a close 3-2 series against tsm
The hypest worlds to date
If you don't play with confidence, you will never be the best.
However, if you have no respect to the opposition, you can't rise to the top.
I think this worlds prove that. What a worlds.
MVP NING For The Win
It's easy to play jungle when ur sololaners are gods
Alexis Bonte yeah? How about skt , their jgler has always been bad， you will always be trash no matter who you play with， it‘s not like playing with Faker the only god exist makes you a god， it makes no sense
Guess what, the solo laners of IG didn't even get a chance to show themselves cuz Ning finished fight already. Jackeylove for the Quaters, TheShy for the Semis, and Ning for the Final, so at the end of all, it wasn't Koreans carrying Chinese but the other way around.
rookie,theshy>=ning>jackylove>baolan
@@laisensei6984 jackeylove is the most underrated adc in the world
Can't believe 5:27 happend already 1 year ago. I remember jumping in my seat. (EU Fan btw)
CAPS dad at 5:52 the biggest fanboy of caps not even us fanboys can compete with. Love his dad!
Im so excited on this year’s worlds
Who else had chilled the whole time?
Awesome production
Worlds 2018 was more so a story of how FNC lost worlds, rather than how IG won. FNC's egos were out of control and they got stomped.
For China and probably Korea a bit 2 it's all about IG. It's just about FNC for westerners. And it was pretty much only Rekkles being cocky and he himself did show up, it's just the others didn't. What a shame.
Never had a chance anyway, IG stomped G2 3-0 easily.
Subbing Soaz in game 2 could also be a bad choice. Theshy can play tanks and even threaten to solo kill you even though he is a tank or play a carry champ and destroy you in lane. while Soaz is only known with his Tank champion pool. while Bwipo he has this aggressiveness that FNC put on their trust that his playstyle can be on par with theshy. but theshy was on another level same with rookie.
Caped Baldy FNC has beaten IG before. It's not like IG is so good that no one had a chance, but FNC got too cocky and underestimated their opponents 🤷🏻♂️
.-.-_- being cocky =/= being confident
5:57 now that was badass
IG the Champion! LPL the Best!
From 2012~2018 LPL >>> LCK
장성기 come on. LCK still very good regions. LPL this years just outclassed LCK. Korean will come back strong.
@@user-kh8cn5td4d no, LPL> LCK this year, LCK> LPL overall
u got it wrong bro. EU is the best
@@titor8413 lol we will see in 2 months how hard G2 will crash and burn at worlds
The ultimate EU over NA moment was 2018 worlds. C9 vs FNC to see who would get to the World Finals. Can't believe C9 was that close to getting NA to the World Finals for the first time
Instead there was 0 competition in the World Finals and IG got an easy win. GGs to them
I really wished for that C9 finals 😢
The real Final was IG vs KT
Nope KT got ripped off so easily anyway
장성기 so easily? Have u really watched the game, IG vs KT or u just wasted electricity.
@@SY-ej1wf ig almost sweeped kt.
David hang KT almost reversed-sweeped IG
@@juaneduardolo7758 Not as close as IG almost sweeped kt. The shy was two hits away while kt lost the last game by a good amount
can't belive west was this good at one time
Might not have been the result that the West wanted, but this worlds, the west showed that they can compete with the "best", I'm excited for next year!
Probably my favorite worlds overall. Sad it ended in a whimper tho :/
2:17 zeros from Vietnam of PVP is the best top laner of Vietnam
