So basicly SK Gaming lead by Ocelote had a sister team renamed later to Fnatic lead by Xpeke. Then Ocelote and Xpeke left their teams to form new organisations Gamers 2 and Origen respectively. That's impressive.
This brought back so many memories as a young kid watching these early tournaments and how much league progressed, you're by far the best content creator in the entire League of Legends RUclips scene.
It's so weird that this game has been going on for so long and still going on strong that we can look back and say I was a kid when that happen while some of us are starting families of our own. Never thought that I would play this game for almost 10 years and at this point maybe not as much anymore but going online and playing with the same dumb-asses I meet in HS all those years back and still bonding over it is something that I cherish and will never forget. Even though Riot Games has tried real hard to make me hate the game.
@@Fruehstuecksflocke96 No, Exil is not nearly as good as Gbay. He puts a lot of work into his videos, but ultimately he wasn't around for a lot of the things he makes videos about. Research about league can only get you so far if you don't actually know what the meta was like back in the day. He completely overstates how oppressive certain items and builds were in early seasons.
@@DiscipleGames no doubt about it, he really has a talent for storytelling. I've been watching Gbay even before he did these documentaries,but since he started to do them I haven't missed a single one. Truly one o f the best league creators on youtube.
Not gonna lie at first I saw the 1 hour mark and was like: no way im watching all this, its super long. And here I am, reading comments, after watching this hole well made documentary and can only say: It was awesome!
Hey, my name is Sauermilchgurke. I was a mod in Ocelote's Twitch and before own3d streams - and was and still am a big fan. Thank you so much for this great documentation. I am now 24 years old and follow this guy since before puberty. It was a wild, wild journey but it was all worth it. All the ups, all the downs, looking back on it, it was a great ride. Again thank you for the nostalgia.
I have always been a big fan of Ocelote. And say what you want about him, he is such a passionate person, and always gave so much effort towards his dreams... and see where its gotten him.
@@oldgrub He didn't pay LS for coaching Gamers2 at that time, He told perkz to contanct mithy and zven while they were still on contract/Not up for trade which is illegal. He also flamed his CS GO team on Twitter for No justified reason.
I fell in love with SK Gaming and ocelote back in the days. Loved to watch them. And i got heartbroken, when it was over. So heartbroken that in fact I would lose interest in League alltogether - focusing on other parts in life (girls and parties). Much later, a friend invited me to watch the 2019 Worlds with him. He was happy that an EU Team managed to get into the final and his happiness sparked my interest so we had a little watching party. I didn't know much about the team and even the game was completely different due to its graphics and gameplay changes. But then, at some point there was this guy that go interviewed. I had forgotten him already but at this special moment, it all came back to me. He had this joy in his eyes. This man was ocelote ofc and I still remember how happy I was for him. Realizing he made it to the worlds final and fulfilling his dream - not as a player, but as a team owner. Couldn't have wished for a happier ending for a player I once loved.
As someone who started playing League back in like 2010~ I remember watching all these events unfold and the title is so true. People hated Ocelote and I always felt like a lot of it was unnecessary. But at the end of the day, Ocelote came out on top I feel like. This video shows really well what a lot of passion,hard work and dedication can accomplish. Really well done video, and I really hope Ocelote enjoyed this vid.
It is completely unnecessary but the internet reveals just how toxic some people are though. It shows just how determined this guy is. His team is much better then the one he had been in
I'm a late comer to play LoL (2015) and to watch the professional leagues (2018). But is in someway the fans' rivalry between Fnatic and G2 some sort of heir to the Ocelot - Xpeke rivalry ?
I'm actually started to watch esports because of G2, I'm kinda new to this game and esports games at all, playing and watching only since second half of 2019. I'm so lucky to find this team! Thanks to Carlos for creating such a great team, fan for now and for a long time, wins and loses doesn't matter much, but I'm pretty confident in them with this roster especially, even if other teams improved pretty much since last year, but so are we. Let's get this wins, Carlos!
42:20 there is something extra tragic that is not mentioned here, I remember vividly watching that game live. You can CLEARLY hear Ocelote yell "somebody should stay! Somebody should stay!!" many times as his team storms down mid lane for the win (if you look up the clip it's still on RUclips), but sadly it seems the call was ignored for too long. Olaf only recalled as he saw Kassadin TPing to the base, and he makes it to the fountain barely as Kassadin enters the base, catching him already at the nexus. Had someone actually stayed from the beginning, he could have catched him as he was tp-ing in, possible waving some extra crucial damage. The tragedy is Ocelote would be massively made fun of for actual years, a play he predicted would happen, but the team ignored :(
well why didnt he stay behind himself then? his elise wouldve been the best answer for the tping kass for she couldve followed his riftwalk with her e and oneshot him with her nonskillshot q
@@kevinstrife7854 ur kidding, right?? This is old Kassadin, he had a point and click silence that would negate any chance for Elise to do anything, not to mention his absurdly high base magic resistance at that moment. There is no way an Elise could have done shit. You could have potentially left Cho behind and match him at the entrance of the base, not at the nexus when he’s already hitting it, and it would have been a completely different story. But the thing is there is no real option to match kassadin’s absurd rift walk (which was twice the range at that moment) and Tankyness.
"They assume that they are the smartest person in the room when it comes to decision making. They just have egoes that prevent them from admitting when they don't know something or admitting that they're wrong... But Ocelote has somehow managed to avoid these pitfalls". Oh Boy, that didn't age well.
Carlos/Ocelote and not blinded by Ego, that moment you knew this Video is a story teller and not reality summary lmao. It's a fun video but not to be taken seriously
@@dnvrhlrhe essentially posted a video of a party he was at with Andrew Tate present, and when criticized for being friends with Tate, he backed up his friendship and refused to badmouth Tate, thus he resigned because of being associated with such a controversial person.
I think him finding perkz after pro play retirement is one of the biggest changing points in EU LoL history. Without that, who knows if perkz even gets the chance he got, that made him become probably the best EU player of all times, G2 finaly becoming the 1st worthy rival to fnatic. Amazing story and thanks for making this!
To be honest everyone knew Perkz was the guy. I remember him from when he was 15/16 and joined Millenium but barely could play because he had to go to school so they had to kind of let him go . I followed that team because I watched the French stream of some of their players, and every time Perkz could get the time to play, he was super dominant.
@@Cancoillotteman Maybe not started, but played in Millenium very early in his career. They had a pretty hilarious combination of prospects: some people who became French influencers and others who had insane pro careers. I don't remember the support, but the top was Gob, the jungler Shaunz, the mid Perkz and the ADC Kobbe.
Well done. I cant believe I sat through an hour watching a story about a game I havent played in over 6 years. Ocelote is one of those people who just sticks with you. His passion and his will to win is so incredible. He was actually never as skilled as most of the people he faced. He just thrived of tournament play, and his passion lifted him to greatness so many times. Just like you said, when the schedule became like a job, his edge was lost. Its nice to see him succeed behind the scene. He definately earned it. And great job on the video!
dont forget TSM Chaox, who got replaced after partying too much and being drunk or hungover on practises.. even sometimes didn come without saying anything^^
I might be a die heart fnatic fan, the sworn rivals of G2, but i have nothing but respect for ocelot and everything he has accomplished. He and his team have pushed the eu league to improve more and more and more. Can’t wait to see which of our team will be 3:0’d by lpl this year
SK Gaming used to be Shroet Kommando, a german Quake World(Quake 1 multiplayer) clan that then became a very successful Quake 3 clan and from there the CS scene took over and it later became SK Gaming.
Love this kind of content, hopefully you'll get more and more recognized for this and have more excuses to make this kind of documentarys. Hope is all well with you, Portugal (where I live) is already starting to recover from COVID-19 and everything will be fine! Keep the good work, will watch it later today.
Holy shit gbay I follow your channel since your early days and I'm so glad you moved on to do this kind of content. It's really well produced and I think anyone can feel your love for this game's history as you share the narratives that we all care about. Thank you for this and keep doing this awesome work.
i feel like you deserve so much more then 500k views on yt for a video like this, creating an hour long documentary , i cant imagine the hours or even days of work this took...
I didnt know the story of Ocelote and now, watching this, it can only make me wonder what was the feeling he got during quarters and semis of World's 2019 in Palacio VistaAlegre in Madrid when we were all chanting his name while he ran thru the place minutes before matches started. I'm so glad to be present in that piece of Ocelote history for him, he deserves it, he really was able to make wonders!
I have never watched a documentary that had this much suspense. Did not want to watch all of it today, but could not close it. Such a good video. Proud to have been around since S2.
I didnt even know ocelote was hated...i loved him back in the days and i still do. He is such a nice person man those haters really are incredible. Great work gbay i had chills many time watching this :)
Mizu there was an ls incident with sky where ocelots refused to pay ls and called him a faggot so ls leaked scrims and shit and sky just paid ls everything ocelots owed him
i don't HATE Ocelote but here's why i don't trust/dislike Ocelote: in 2014 EU challenger series, G2 wasn't doing all that great. At least compared to Ninjas in Pyjamas, which had a pretty insane roster at that time. The most famous players were Alex Ich, Freeze and Nukeduck but a lot of their success was helped by their very talented jungler, k0u. In the early games, NiP dominated the games with incredibly high KDAs on their carries. At some point however, the team started frequently misplaying, doing questionable calls and losing. k0u later left the team to join Ocelote's G2. Freeze then provided some insight via a facebook post explaining why their later games were looking so bad and turns out that most of their efforts were sabotaged by k0u. He mentions changes of attitude, including refusal to communicate during scrims, doing solo actions which backfired and the result of this was just feeding the enemy challenger teams. The sudden change reportedly started occuring shortly after k0u's meetings in G2's gaming house. This could all be on k0u. We can no longer ask him because he sadly commited suicide last year. Nevertheless, Ocelote poses as a very shady figure in this scenario. He may be a passionate player and he cares to reach success through hard work for which i respect him, but he is also a businessman and that's not exactly a field for sportsmanship. That being said, nobody is flawless and I may be biased because I really rooted for NiP back then but I also wish Ocelote and G2 the success they have reached since. Europe winning the worlds was amazing even for me and I don't even watch the competitive scene anymore.
I think the reason for some of the viewer's hate for Ocelote was a bit downplayed in this video. Ocelote at some point was actually a pretty toxic player in solo queue so much so that he actually lost an account, this fact was only glossed over in this documentary while it was highlighted even by Riot's own youtube channel in the past.
hahaha, he should be hated for good reason though. Honestly a mediocre player, and yes even back in the day he was mediocre. Comparing 5$ to a penny, sure the 5$ looks better, but its still 5$. Regi got lucky with the best NA import of all time, but the cracks are starting to show up as of late. But hearing from past players, TSM staff, its clear his garbage attitude was more than just on the RIft.
@@MushfiqueBinHossain I think you missed the point. The title of this video is wrong as fuck lol Reginald is the most hated player by far and Ocelote's not really even generally that much disliked tbh.
As a former WoW player and with a great competitive spirit, this video made me cry. The evolution of this wonderful man is nothing short of amazing. From a good arena player to owning one of the best, if not the best team in the world. G2 has always and will always be the team that takes out all the emotions from me, whether it's joy or sadness. Thank you Gbay. Thank you for making such great content that we can enjoy in this rough conditions. Keep up the great work!
@@carlosparra9527 I mean hurting your knee playing is so easy odds of someone tackling you or even just slipping over the ball and landing on your knees are very high i only play like once a week and hurt my knees multiple times and its not even in a league or anything we're just friends playing for fun
@@nagato2k633 I can attest to this. I was never injured playing ice hockey on a high level which is more of a contact sport but playing fotball out with my friends and in a lower division team on the side I hurt myself several times. Mostly kneecaps and other leg injuries.
Gbay, I just gotta say, as a fan of League since Season 1, your videos provide two awesome things for me. First, nostalgia. I got into pro League around the S1 championship and I love rewatching some of those amazing moments that define the game. Second, context. I'm primarily a fan of NA, but I know a thing or two about the other regions. Despite this, you're able to provide awesome context to all these events, from old reddit posts, to video clips. I'll always appreciate your work!
Damn, I remember playing in Go4LoL back in the days, it was a chance to compete with one of the most famous teams for almost everyone, especially if your team was good enough to climb up the ladder. It was such a cool period.
Interview question: "Do you have brother/sisters?, etc..." Ocelote answer: "A brother, 14yo... he's joining the puberty: so he's becoming annoying." I laughed at that harder than I should have
Stories come full circle if G2 wins Worlds 2020: -They take the cup on Chinese soil as vengeance for when LPL won in European soil last year. -Ocelote finally gets to lift the cup 10 years after his great rival xPeke
China and korea scarier this year than last year. And china gets 4 teams now too..Pretty sure its gna be TES, FPX, IG, JDG and T1, DRX, GenG/Damwon. Eu has 4 teams but G2 is really the only good team followed by FNC that seems to choke a lot. Madlions hyped and yet to prove themselves more.
I just fall in love with your work everytime i watch the newest documentary you make. It's a master piece and i wish you would someday get the attention you deserve and opportunities to make even greater creations ! I really don't know what to say. Just the fact that i was watching the whole hour focused and everything shows how much you were able to create a great video ! Keep up the amazing work
Watching this the day of G2s semi-final loss against Damwan at Worlds 2020. G2 looked really good all tournament. Europe believes in you guys. Get em next year.
So basicly SK Gaming lead by Ocelote had a sister team renamed later to Fnatic lead by Xpeke. Then Ocelote and Xpeke left their teams to form new organisations Gamers 2 and Origen respectively. That's impressive.
Let's wait and see. Maybe, just maybe, Rekkles can adapt his play style to the team. But I am not a great believer in that. I actually weirdly have more hopes into Fnatic this year, because although arguably weaker individually, they play as one.
@@Cancoillotteman i agree with you, but i kinda have a good feeling idk man, maybe its the bald caps but i just feel like they will get their shit together and just absolutely destroy everyone
I remember that backdoor, I was watching that game with my friends and when everything happen, we were speechless, we couldn't understand what happened, we felt bad for Ocelote, but after he came with G2, I knew they were made to achieve things he didn't even knew, he is one of the main reason I keep playing league, sometimes he can be a douche, but he is an amazing person and take care about his players
Holy crap, the quality exuding from this video is insane! I went into this video having little knowledge of Ocelote, but this documentary kept me invested in his story all the way through. Keep up the good work man!
@@c0dy42 yeah, I'd say moderetly us a understatement they are the only team too have dominated pl so far. But u don't mind I don't expect every one too follow or know of R6 especially since I don't know anything about LOL
the years with sk fnatic and clg eu were some of the most fun ive ever had just watching professional league games. there is so much professional league today, you can watch teams compete every week in a dozen different regions. but back then, you watched your favorite 2-3 streamers and a tournament every few months. even seeing the old rift graphics feels so nostalgic, even though much of it is maybe only 10 years ago.
Dude honestly after seeing that whole documentary I feel bad that it was free- amazing work, didn't even realize an hour had gone by! super interesting part of the game's history that is never really talked about, but you and your team did exceptionally well at presenting every detail.
I love videos like this. It's so nostalgic. I remember watching ocelote back in season 2 and 3. I didn't even know what twitch was back then and I was watching his streams on his website. Him and Froggen were propably the reasons for me becoming a mid laner. I wasn't invested in e-sports back in season 1 but it is so interesting seeing the strategies ( champs, roles the champs were played in and builds ) and players. It's funny seeing Dyrus and Doublelift playing Soraka and Blitzcrank bot lane together. I never knew they were on a team together and the same goes for many others.
This brought tears to my eyes. I always love Ocelote. I would never forget his old nidalee plays. That made me main nidalee back in the days. I want to see him take the worlds.
Holy fucking shit did nostalgia hit me hard when replay started playing 28:18 cause I didn't remebmer this map but seconds into it I realized I watched it live streamed while being a SK fan. This match was so hype, I was so impresed by SK play, they timed all blue buffs so well and invaded every time it spawned denying all blues from froggen who was a god at that time. And those 2 triple kills in second game. This coudl have been the game that sparked my esport passion which carries on until today. God damn it Gbay... You did it again, You win YT gold again and again. How can You be so god damn good with those docu series.
God I miss old league. I was a washed up player, teaching my friend how to play. Now he's kissing the border of D1 and I couldn't be more proud. I just can't compete
This video is going straight into my favourites. The goosebumps this video gave me were crazy; so much history that I didn't know. Thank you, Gbay. I appreciate the work you put into these.
Been watching the LoL pro scene off and on since 2010, primarily EU and NA. Never understood the Ocelote hate. The guy's emotional, puts his heart into everything he does, can play/coach/make business decisions. He's the type of pro we need in esports. Saw the second loss to Fantic with XPeke's Kassadin moves live, and saw the pain oozing from this man. I haven't watched much in the last 2-3 years, but it makes me happy to know he took the time he needed and came back to a gaming scene he loves. Thanks for the epic documentary :)
imagine wunder right now, that plays wow instead of league .. now think about wunder back then, fully committed into league .. dear wunder please, drop wow only for this summer/autumn
@@emanuelerame2802 I mean, even playing wow he managed to sh*t on Bwipo and win another LEC Title... And as he said in one interview, he didn't need to warm up.
Thank you very much for such a beautiful trip into nostalgia. I've been oce's fan since the times at own3d tv. Its so cool to remember first seasons, i got goosebumps remembering how oce and ara would spoil kills because you could hear them screaming YEEEES before we knew it happened. It was amazing being able to watch sk scrims live. Fun times, im so glad for all the success carlos has had
An actual good documentary and story none of that score esports shit thanks for the content , been following Ocelote since OceloteWorld and what a ride it's been
Hey goldbae, I can only hope you'll read this but I gotta say you absolutely outdid yourself on this one. The content you're putting out currently is just on another level, this one especially. I wanted to watch another movie tonight originally but I'm happy I didn't, this was such a piece of art! Keep it up, it makes me happy to see you delivering to and exceeding the high hopes fans like me have always had and probably also the expectations you're holding yourself to. Thanks for the ride, I'm looking forward to more!
Wow, what a great documentary! Brought back really nice, old memories and made me appreciate the dedication those players put in back then. The editing was on point! I even had goosebumps at the end with the score and the interview and all. Really good work!
its always a no for the first 20 mins "ill watch half today and half other day" here i am, ive watched all of it, its 4:02 am and i have classes tomorrow xd
I've been very depressed and find a lot of time to myself during this pandemic. I've been flying through your League docuseries videos. They really get my mind off things, thank you so much for these.
It's amazing how much time you've put in to this all by yourself. There's a small amount of people on youtube who have this much devotion and love for their work to make content like this. Respect.
Gbay bro, you killed it with this vid. What nostalgia trip this was. I started playing league when I was 13, i'm 23 now and I remember a lot of these esports moments. Thanks for the beautiful storytelling and research put in for us to re-live the growth of lol esports!
Hey GBay99, long time watcher. I started playing LoL in 2012 and soon found your content like the "Art of War" videos. Have been out of touch for some time and now watched this documentary you did and I love it. Great job and you make a great narrator.
23:35 hey, thats kev1n - toplaner of the German super Team "Spandauer Inferno"...im so glad he can finally play with people who match his skill level and that there is nobody dragging hin down anymore
Damn I teared up a little remembering those early League days. I stopped playing some years ago but I remember watching live the IEM Katowice's game (xPeke's backdoor). I was an SK fan and I remember feeling the sadness after it.
After worlds this year I came back to these and man they never fail to deliver, mad props to gbay for all the effort put into these videos Sad how Carlos recently turned out, but a beautifully well told story nevertheless
Man, ive always respected the hell out of ocelote - that guy was one of the first big names in league, and even when his time was over, even after all the hate he got, he decided to build and train a team to finish his dream of winning the world championship. Never give up on your dreams - this guy is the living example.
I followed Ocelote since season 2, and although I am no longer interested in nowaday's scene, at any point did I ever throw hate at such a passionate and dedicated player as Ocelote. He may not be my favorite, but he sure earned my respect a long time ago
Dude,watching this video litterally gave me goosebumps ! I've been following compettive since season 1 world championship and always my fav player has been ocelote. His streams,playstyle,he is the one who basicly got me into grinding into LoL. And kept on doing it when he moved on to form Gamers2 now known as G2. Thanks you for bringing so much good moments !
a lot of professional soccer players go to mls to prep for retirement because their pace is a lot slower than any other league around the world especially if you came from barclays Premier league, that league if fast af.
Thank you for making this, even though I watched most of these early tournaments, I had no idea about what was happening backstage. When I realized the sk vs fntic was the xpeke bd one, I felt so many emotions.... I watched that live and played kassadin in almost every role for a while trying to do something like that. Anyway, thanks so much for the video, hope you'll do more of them!
Wayne Gretzky, regarded as the GOAT, has never led a team to a championship as a coach/executive. Mario Lemieux has won 3 Stanley Cups as owner of the Penguins. So, it is possible for superstars to make the next step up and find success. However, a majority of coaches/executives in hockey weren't superstar-level talents, they were players who simply worked really hard throughout their careers and learned the game inside out. A very interesting bit of LOL history, tyvm for the video.
I started playing league just a month ago, and your videos started being recommended to me. I got instantly hooked, learning about the upcomings of these famous teams is incredible to watch. when you unveiled that gamers 2 was G2 (even though i had an idea thats what was gonna happen) I got goosebumps! Love your work, keep it up!
I was always a Fnatic fan. I've watched those guys and knew little about Ocelote, since not many EU content is shared here in Brazil, but I've always liked the EU competitive LOL scene. I remember a few things in that first G2 season at the LCS EU and knew that those guys could fly high. After that first season I've started to enjoy every game those guys played. Ocelote worked his ass off, gave his sweat and tears and deserve the glory that his team reached throughout the years. Now after watching this video, I have to salute this guy, he is a living legend, and got another G2 fan here.
Thanks for this video. I remember watching Oce on own3d back in the day and had no idea that the super successful G2 of today is the team he started. As you mentioned, the community feelings weren't the most positive back in the day. Here's to you Ocelote 🍻
thank you gbay99, great video. and you are right we only know ocelote from the looser side in that xpeke backdoor he is what he is, he is probably the best ceo you can have. putting aside the banter, the "run it down series", the memes, g2 is still wining and that is because of him, that team and his friend Perkz, i dont think Luka will ever leave G2, and who knows, it doesnt seem that the others want to leave as well. and the thing that makes him so incredible is that he never, ever, put pressure on the players. that last interviw after worlds, no blame on players, nothing, you can watch jankos's face, how hes expecting some blame, something, and the inspiration and the trust he gives gives his players the posibility to walk further. if they had someone to blame anyone after fpx, i can bet the team would break apart. how id like to see a world championship final between Fnatic and G2 that would be amazing
So basicly SK Gaming lead by Ocelote had a sister team renamed later to Fnatic lead by Xpeke. Then Ocelote and Xpeke left their teams to form new organisations Gamers 2 and Origen respectively. That's impressive.
and both teams are doing quite fine, origin maybe not as good, but still, they are both equals as they are opposite
This makes the infamous Xpeke backdoor even more shocking!
@@runClimbCode I like the fact that Yellowstar was on the opposite side of it. I still wan't to know what he was yelling.
Also the original XPEKE play was CLG vs SK! Doublelift was first!
@@hellowill no.
This brought back so many memories as a young kid watching these early tournaments and how much league progressed, you're by far the best content creator in the entire League of Legends RUclips scene.
It's so weird that this game has been going on for so long and still going on strong that we can look back and say I was a kid when that happen while some of us are starting families of our own.
Never thought that I would play this game for almost 10 years and at this point maybe not as much anymore but going online and playing with the same dumb-asses I meet in HS all those years back and still bonding over it is something that I cherish and will never forget. Even though Riot Games has tried real hard to make me hate the game.

that level looks like bronze for today's standards
It took me a moment. Once I saw the Olaf and the Kassadin in opposite teams, I knew. My heart broke a little bit :(

@@oldgrub He didn't pay LS for coaching Gamers2 at that time, He told perkz to contanct mithy and zven while they were still on contract/Not up for trade which is illegal. He also flamed his CS GO team on Twitter for No justified reason.
Same. Oce was probably my fav eu player. I remember watching him back on own3d.tv I always liked the guy.
I fell in love with SK Gaming and ocelote back in the days. Loved to watch them. And i got heartbroken, when it was over. So heartbroken that in fact I would lose interest in League alltogether - focusing on other parts in life (girls and parties).
Much later, a friend invited me to watch the 2019 Worlds with him. He was happy that an EU Team managed to get into the final and his happiness sparked my interest so we had a little watching party. I didn't know much about the team and even the game was completely different due to its graphics and gameplay changes. But then, at some point there was this guy that go interviewed. I had forgotten him already but at this special moment, it all came back to me. He had this joy in his eyes. This man was ocelote ofc and I still remember how happy I was for him. Realizing he made it to the worlds final and fulfilling his dream - not as a player, but as a team owner. Couldn't have wished for a happier ending for a player I once loved.
nice story bro!
And now? Hehehehh
Sadly, that wasn't the nice ending to the story...
Gbay's documentaries come outta nowhere and boy are they amazing.
Coming back to this video after Andrew Tate somehow put an end to Ocelote’s G2 journey is truly the wildest of timelines
Rip Carlos
If G2 were to win worlds this year I imagine it would be truly heartbreaking for Carlos
homie literally just had to say "my bad" and move on. He had a team to look out for but he put some guy over his team smh
@@geoffbettelhoffven11 finally a reason to root for G2
its not had to just not post a video together with tate so yeah his fault, especialyl after doubleing and trippling down
As someone who started playing League back in like 2010~ I remember watching all these events unfold and the title is so true. People hated Ocelote and I always felt like a lot of it was unnecessary. But at the end of the day, Ocelote came out on top I feel like.
This video shows really well what a lot of passion,hard work and dedication can accomplish.
Really well done video, and I really hope Ocelote enjoyed this vid.
It is completely unnecessary but the internet reveals just how toxic some people are though. It shows just how determined this guy is. His team is much better then the one he had been in
I'm a late comer to play LoL (2015) and to watch the professional leagues (2018). But is in someway the fans' rivalry between Fnatic and G2 some sort of heir to the Ocelot - Xpeke rivalry ?
@@Cancoillotteman Kinda, but ocelote stopped being one of the best after season 2.
I'm actually started to watch esports because of G2, I'm kinda new to this game and esports games at all, playing and watching only since second half of 2019. I'm so lucky to find this team! Thanks to Carlos for creating such a great team, fan for now and for a long time, wins and loses doesn't matter much, but I'm pretty confident in them with this roster especially, even if other teams improved pretty much since last year, but so are we. Let's get this wins, Carlos!
Forget history class, I'm muting the online class and listening to the history of League instead.
Why are you just everywhere?
@@tepakira9348 He is where he needs to be.
Ayeee same here
same haha
it is him
I'm a legit old dude for remembering pretty much all of this...
Same man I was 18 now I am 28 time flies fast
Yeah too lol
42:20 there is something extra tragic that is not mentioned here, I remember vividly watching that game live. You can CLEARLY hear Ocelote yell "somebody should stay! Somebody should stay!!" many times as his team storms down mid lane for the win (if you look up the clip it's still on RUclips), but sadly it seems the call was ignored for too long. Olaf only recalled as he saw Kassadin TPing to the base, and he makes it to the fountain barely as Kassadin enters the base, catching him already at the nexus. Had someone actually stayed from the beginning, he could have catched him as he was tp-ing in, possible waving some extra crucial damage.
The tragedy is Ocelote would be massively made fun of for actual years, a play he predicted would happen, but the team ignored :(
well why didnt he stay behind himself then? his elise wouldve been the best answer for the tping kass for she couldve followed his riftwalk with her e and oneshot him with her nonskillshot q
@@kevinstrife7854 ur kidding, right?? This is old Kassadin, he had a point and click silence that would negate any chance for Elise to do anything, not to mention his absurdly high base magic resistance at that moment. There is no way an Elise could have done shit. You could have potentially left Cho behind and match him at the entrance of the base, not at the nexus when he’s already hitting it, and it would have been a completely different story. But the thing is there is no real option to match kassadin’s absurd rift walk (which was twice the range at that moment) and Tankyness.
"They assume that they are the smartest person in the room when it comes to decision making. They just have egoes that prevent them from admitting when they don't know something or admitting that they're wrong... But Ocelote has somehow managed to avoid these pitfalls".
Oh Boy, that didn't age well.
Carlos/Ocelote and not blinded by Ego, that moment you knew this Video is a story teller and not reality summary lmao. It's a fun video but not to be taken seriously
Can you provide more context on this? Is it related to why he had to resign as CEO?
@@dnvrhlrhe essentially posted a video of a party he was at with Andrew Tate present, and when criticized for being friends with Tate, he backed up his friendship and refused to badmouth Tate, thus he resigned because of being associated with such a controversial person.
@@t3152 stating that Tate is an abuser or acknowledging his massive misogyny isn't badmouthing him lol
I think him finding perkz after pro play retirement is one of the biggest changing points in EU LoL history. Without that, who knows if perkz even gets the chance he got, that made him become probably the best EU player of all times, G2 finaly becoming the 1st worthy rival to fnatic. Amazing story and thanks for making this!
To be honest everyone knew Perkz was the guy. I remember him from when he was 15/16 and joined Millenium but barely could play because he had to go to school so they had to kind of let him go . I followed that team because I watched the French stream of some of their players, and every time Perkz could get the time to play, he was super dominant.
@@daisychain5125 Perkz started in a French team ? I didn't know that !
@@Cancoillotteman Maybe not started, but played in Millenium very early in his career. They had a pretty hilarious combination of prospects: some people who became French influencers and others who had insane pro careers. I don't remember the support, but the top was Gob, the jungler Shaunz, the mid Perkz and the ADC Kobbe.
6:01 "any tips for players?" "don't play solo q" still relevant in season 10
I dont know why people thought Yellowstar was yelling at Ocelot, he was clearly yelling at the jungler for failing to stop doublelift
GrimK71 yup!
Just those Ocelot haters back then
@@Orinap Back then? they are still around, they are G2 haters know.
He was yelling at Ocelot after he stood up, Yellowstar was yelling at both of them.
I want Carlos to make a reaction video on this one, that would be sick!
His tears of nostalgy would be so heartwarming
Not gonna lie, Carlos' voice crack in the end always makes shed a tear.
his speach is so powerful, im impressed for sure
umad
timestamp?
@@ibrah1mm its not a voicecrack, and this niffa is hatin'.
ibrahim 1:05:38
Well done. I cant believe I sat through an hour watching a story about a game I havent played in over 6 years. Ocelote is one of those people who just sticks with you. His passion and his will to win is so incredible. He was actually never as skilled as most of the people he faced. He just thrived of tournament play, and his passion lifted him to greatness so many times. Just like you said, when the schedule became like a job, his edge was lost. Its nice to see him succeed behind the scene. He definately earned it. And great job on the video!
I'm pretty sure TSM Reginald was hated much more than ocelote, and for a good reason.
Yes i remember that, but i can remember why he was hated
@@123haxman He was an asshole, or at least that was the general perception of him in the community.
People were either Ocelote fanboys, hated him, or at least enjoyed his failures. Regi was and is a complete asshole but TSM fans loved him
dont forget TSM Chaox, who got replaced after partying too much and being drunk or hungover on practises.. even sometimes didn come without saying anything^^
@@123haxman He hurt our boy Dyrus
I might be a die heart fnatic fan, the sworn rivals of G2, but i have nothing but respect for ocelot and everything he has accomplished. He and his team have pushed the eu league to improve more and more and more. Can’t wait to see which of our team will be 3:0’d by lpl this year
That comment made me smile :D Much love from another die hard fnatic fan.
SK Gaming used to be Shroet Kommando, a german Quake World(Quake 1 multiplayer) clan that then became a very successful Quake 3 clan and from there the CS scene took over and it later became SK Gaming.
Love this kind of content, hopefully you'll get more and more recognized for this and have more excuses to make this kind of documentarys. Hope is all well with you, Portugal (where I live) is already starting to recover from COVID-19 and everything will be fine! Keep the good work, will watch it later today.
Holy shit gbay I follow your channel since your early days and I'm so glad you moved on to do this kind of content. It's really well produced and I think anyone can feel your love for this game's history as you share the narratives that we all care about. Thank you for this and keep doing this awesome work.
Being able to hear Ocelote yells through the commentator's mics at 29:48 is pretty crazy.
Anyone else came back to this after what happened?
...And then everything changed when the Korean nation attacked.
Greatest dynasty, most hated player... for the West maybe, but both are exagerrations if we're talking all of League.
Nah G2 beat Korea every time, it's China that's the thorn in their side
hahaha
@@CSDragon hmmmmm
@@CSDragon well theres always bits of Korean in the winners of worlds like doinb or ssg with ambition or invictus gaming with theShy OR. SKT/T1
i feel like you deserve so much more then 500k views on yt for a video like this, creating an hour long documentary
, i cant imagine the hours or even days of work this took...
I didnt know the story of Ocelote and now, watching this, it can only make me wonder what was the feeling he got during quarters and semis of World's 2019 in Palacio VistaAlegre in Madrid when we were all chanting his name while he ran thru the place minutes before matches started. I'm so glad to be present in that piece of Ocelote history for him, he deserves it, he really was able to make wonders!
I have never watched a documentary that had this much suspense. Did not want to watch all of it today, but could not close it.
Such a good video. Proud to have been around since S2.
I didnt even know ocelote was hated...i loved him back in the days and i still do. He is such a nice person man those haters really are incredible. Great work gbay i had chills many time watching this :)
Mizu there was an ls incident with sky where ocelots refused to pay ls and called him a faggot so ls leaked scrims and shit and sky just paid ls everything ocelots owed him
He was extremely controversal. Xpeke just had a bigger fanbase, thats why it seemed that they hated ocelote
i don't HATE Ocelote but here's why i don't trust/dislike Ocelote: in 2014 EU challenger series, G2 wasn't doing all that great. At least compared to Ninjas in Pyjamas, which had a pretty insane roster at that time. The most famous players were Alex Ich, Freeze and Nukeduck but a lot of their success was helped by their very talented jungler, k0u.
In the early games, NiP dominated the games with incredibly high KDAs on their carries. At some point however, the team started frequently misplaying, doing questionable calls and losing.
k0u later left the team to join Ocelote's G2. Freeze then provided some insight via a facebook post explaining why their later games were looking so bad and turns out that most of their efforts were sabotaged by k0u. He mentions changes of attitude, including refusal to communicate during scrims, doing solo actions which backfired and the result of this was just feeding the enemy challenger teams.
The sudden change reportedly started occuring shortly after k0u's meetings in G2's gaming house.
This could all be on k0u. We can no longer ask him because he sadly commited suicide last year. Nevertheless, Ocelote poses as a very shady figure in this scenario. He may be a passionate player and he cares to reach success through hard work for which i respect him, but he is also a businessman and that's not exactly a field for sportsmanship. That being said, nobody is flawless and I may be biased because I really rooted for NiP back then but I also wish Ocelote and G2 the success they have reached since. Europe winning the worlds was amazing even for me and I don't even watch the competitive scene anymore.
I think the reason for some of the viewer's hate for Ocelote was a bit downplayed in this video. Ocelote at some point was actually a pretty toxic player in solo queue so much so that he actually lost an account, this fact was only glossed over in this documentary while it was highlighted even by Riot's own youtube channel in the past.
'League's Most Hated Player'
Didn't know Reginald plays competitive Pokemon
hahaha, he should be hated for good reason though. Honestly a mediocre player, and yes even back in the day he was mediocre. Comparing 5$ to a penny, sure the 5$ looks better, but its still 5$. Regi got lucky with the best NA import of all time, but the cracks are starting to show up as of late. But hearing from past players, TSM staff, its clear his garbage attitude was more than just on the RIft.
@@MushfiqueBinHossain I think you missed the point. The title of this video is wrong as fuck lol Reginald is the most hated player by far and Ocelote's not really even generally that much disliked tbh.
@@MostUndignified he was very disliked back then though
@@MostUndignified did u see those reddit threads. people so toxic to him lol
they were both hated, regi more in NA and oce more in EU
As a former WoW player and with a great competitive spirit, this video made me cry. The evolution of this wonderful man is nothing short of amazing. From a good arena player to owning one of the best, if not the best team in the world. G2 has always and will always be the team that takes out all the emotions from me, whether it's joy or sadness. Thank you Gbay. Thank you for making such great content that we can enjoy in this rough conditions. Keep up the great work!

@@nagato2k633 I can attest to this. I was never injured playing ice hockey on a high level which is more of a contact sport but playing fotball out with my friends and in a lower division team on the side I hurt myself several times. Mostly kneecaps and other leg injuries.
I used to be a football player like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee.
Gbay, I just gotta say, as a fan of League since Season 1, your videos provide two awesome things for me. First, nostalgia. I got into pro League around the S1 championship and I love rewatching some of those amazing moments that define the game. Second, context. I'm primarily a fan of NA, but I know a thing or two about the other regions. Despite this, you're able to provide awesome context to all these events, from old reddit posts, to video clips. I'll always appreciate your work!
Damn, I remember playing in Go4LoL back in the days, it was a chance to compete with one of the most famous teams for almost everyone, especially if your team was good enough to climb up the ladder. It was such a cool period.
Interview question: "Do you have brother/sisters?, etc..."
Ocelote answer: "A brother, 14yo... he's joining the puberty: so he's becoming annoying."
I laughed at that harder than I should have
Stories come full circle if G2 wins Worlds 2020:
-They take the cup on Chinese soil as vengeance for when LPL won in European soil last year.
-Ocelote finally gets to lift the cup 10 years after his great rival xPeke
Thats some crazy anime storyline shit right there.
Holy shit
We can only hope
Nah t1 will rise agn
China and korea scarier this year than last year. And china gets 4 teams now too..Pretty sure its gna be TES, FPX, IG, JDG and T1, DRX, GenG/Damwon. Eu has 4 teams but G2 is really the only good team followed by FNC that seems to choke a lot. Madlions hyped and yet to prove themselves more.
I just fall in love with your work everytime i watch the newest documentary you make. It's a master piece and i wish you would someday get the attention you deserve and opportunities to make even greater creations ! I really don't know what to say. Just the fact that i was watching the whole hour focused and everything shows how much you were able to create a great video ! Keep up the amazing work
What do you mean he *WAS* handsome?
Watching this the day of G2s semi-final loss against Damwan at Worlds 2020. G2 looked really good all tournament. Europe believes in you guys. Get em next year.
So basicly SK Gaming lead by Ocelote had a sister team renamed later to Fnatic lead by Xpeke. Then Ocelote and Xpeke left their teams to form new organisations Gamers 2 and Origen respectively. That's impressive.
Let's wait and see. Maybe, just maybe, Rekkles can adapt his play style to the team. But I am not a great believer in that. I actually weirdly have more hopes into Fnatic this year, because although arguably weaker individually, they play as one.
@@Cancoillotteman i agree with you, but i kinda have a good feeling idk man, maybe its the bald caps but i just feel like they will get their shit together and just absolutely destroy everyone
@@Cancoillotteman 👀
I remember that backdoor, I was watching that game with my friends and when everything happen, we were speechless, we couldn't understand what happened, we felt bad for Ocelote, but after he came with G2, I knew they were made to achieve things he didn't even knew, he is one of the main reason I keep playing league, sometimes he can be a douche, but he is an amazing person and take care about his players
Holy crap, the quality exuding from this video is insane! I went into this video having little knowledge of Ocelote, but this documentary kept me invested in his story all the way through. Keep up the good work man!

the years with sk fnatic and clg eu were some of the most fun ive ever had just watching professional league games.
there is so much professional league today, you can watch teams compete every week in a dozen different regions.
but back then, you watched your favorite 2-3 streamers and a tournament every few months.
even seeing the old rift graphics feels so nostalgic, even though much of it is maybe only 10 years ago.
38:05 We all know what XPeke is going to do
Dude honestly after seeing that whole documentary I feel bad that it was free- amazing work, didn't even realize an hour had gone by! super interesting part of the game's history that is never really talked about, but you and your team did exceptionally well at presenting every detail.
I love videos like this. It's so nostalgic. I remember watching ocelote back in season 2 and 3. I didn't even know what twitch was back then and I was watching his streams on his website. Him and Froggen were propably the reasons for me becoming a mid laner. I wasn't invested in e-sports back in season 1 but it is so interesting seeing the strategies ( champs, roles the champs were played in and builds ) and players. It's funny seeing Dyrus and Doublelift playing Soraka and Blitzcrank bot lane together. I never knew they were on a team together and the same goes for many others.
i remember both the backdoors that left him crying
This brought tears to my eyes. I always love Ocelote. I would never forget his old nidalee plays. That made me main nidalee back in the days. I want to see him take the worlds.
Holy fucking shit did nostalgia hit me hard when replay started playing 28:18 cause I didn't remebmer this map but seconds into it I realized I watched it live streamed while being a SK fan. This match was so hype, I was so impresed by SK play, they timed all blue buffs so well and invaded every time it spawned denying all blues from froggen who was a god at that time. And those 2 triple kills in second game. This coudl have been the game that sparked my esport passion which carries on until today.
God damn it Gbay... You did it again, You win YT gold again and again. How can You be so god damn good with those docu series.
God I miss old league. I was a washed up player, teaching my friend how to play. Now he's kissing the border of D1 and I couldn't be more proud. I just can't compete
This video is going straight into my favourites. The goosebumps this video gave me were crazy; so much history that I didn't know. Thank you, Gbay. I appreciate the work you put into these.

27:21 that's the man himself, real legend Puki Style
Been watching the LoL pro scene off and on since 2010, primarily EU and NA. Never understood the Ocelote hate. The guy's emotional, puts his heart into everything he does, can play/coach/make business decisions. He's the type of pro we need in esports. Saw the second loss to Fantic with XPeke's Kassadin moves live, and saw the pain oozing from this man. I haven't watched much in the last 2-3 years, but it makes me happy to know he took the time he needed and came back to a gaming scene he loves. Thanks for the epic documentary :)

@@jakobfreelemba what? He is Not Even in the worst 1000000 humans ever. Maybe you humans like Hitler and Stalin and Mao etc etc ? WTF 🤣
Man, ive always respected the hell out of ocelote - that guy was one of the first big names in league, and even when his time was over, even after all the hate he got, he decided to build and train a team to finish his dream of winning the world championship. Never give up on your dreams - this guy is the living example.
I followed Ocelote since season 2, and although I am no longer interested in nowaday's scene, at any point did I ever throw hate at such a passionate and dedicated player as Ocelote.
He may not be my favorite, but he sure earned my respect a long time ago
Dude,watching this video litterally gave me goosebumps ! I've been following compettive since season 1 world championship and always my fav player has been ocelote. His streams,playstyle,he is the one who basicly got me into grinding into LoL. And kept on doing it when he moved on to form Gamers2 now known as G2. Thanks you for bringing so much good moments !
42:45 ... dude, that's litteraly confirming the "washed up player" theory.

I watched that live and played kassadin in almost every role for a while trying to do something like that.
Anyway, thanks so much for the video, hope you'll do more of them!
wait wtf i watched the whole thing before i noticed i just sat down for an hour to watch a documentary about ocelot
@Gbay99 You just popped into my recommended randomly and omg you are pure childhood nostalgia, i love you
Gbay I love these videos. As a huge fan of modern competitive league, its fun learning the origins of players and teams
Wayne Gretzky, regarded as the GOAT, has never led a team to a championship as a coach/executive.
Mario Lemieux has won 3 Stanley Cups as owner of the Penguins. So, it is possible for superstars to make the next step up and find success. However, a majority of coaches/executives in hockey weren't superstar-level talents, they were players who simply worked really hard throughout their careers and learned the game inside out.
A very interesting bit of LOL history, tyvm for the video.
Wait, they won less price money for coming second at worlds than they did for coming 3-4?
yes because 2018 worlds had a prize pool of 6m $ I believe, while the 2019 one had only 2m $ prize pool so
I started playing league just a month ago, and your videos started being recommended to me. I got instantly hooked, learning about the upcomings of these famous teams is incredible to watch. when you unveiled that gamers 2 was G2 (even though i had an idea thats what was gonna happen) I got goosebumps! Love your work, keep it up!
And now he is probably the most hated team owner
So why is he hated so much?
I was always a Fnatic fan. I've watched those guys and knew little about Ocelote, since not many EU content is shared here in Brazil, but I've always liked the EU competitive LOL scene.
I remember a few things in that first G2 season at the LCS EU and knew that those guys could fly high.
After that first season I've started to enjoy every game those guys played.
Ocelote worked his ass off, gave his sweat and tears and deserve the glory that his team reached throughout the years.
Now after watching this video, I have to salute this guy, he is a living legend, and got another G2 fan here.
1:37 is that perkz on WoW
Haha thought the same ^^
So beautiful Gbay, thank you so much for putting such great effort and compassion into these documentaries, you do a fantastic job every time.
17:40 i recognize the face on the right. That's n1vek (He is still a pretty popular german streamer)
Thanks for this video. I remember watching Oce on own3d back in the day and had no idea that the super successful G2 of today is the team he started. As you mentioned, the community feelings weren't the most positive back in the day. Here's to you Ocelote 🍻
Sad that these doesnt get the million of viewers they deserve to get. Will like and comment to show a small portion of the love
thank you gbay99, great video. and you are right we only know ocelote from the looser side in that xpeke backdoor
he is what he is, he is probably the best ceo you can have. putting aside the banter, the "run it down series", the memes, g2 is still wining and that is because of him, that team and his friend Perkz, i dont think Luka will ever leave G2, and who knows, it doesnt seem that the others want to leave as well.
and the thing that makes him so incredible is that he never, ever, put pressure on the players. that last interviw after worlds, no blame on players, nothing, you can watch jankos's face, how hes expecting some blame, something, and the inspiration and the trust he gives gives his players the posibility to walk further. if they had someone to blame anyone after fpx, i can bet the team would break apart.
how id like to see a world championship final between Fnatic and G2 that would be amazing
Saved my tuesday gbay, Thank you!
