And they were not worth at all, bin was so far behind after that and the only one ahead was elk but guma was keeping up by farming plates on the opposite side
Dude that series was almost a 3-1 win to BLG, but my god Faker refused to be deterred. His comeback plays for game 4 and game 5 were truly legendary. Bravo fellas.
Fr BLG know who to target all game they almost target zeus and guma only all games, they know if those 2 scales up God know what happen to them but faker decided nah you bully too much I step in
I haven’t watched league since like season 2/3 and this video randomly pops up on my feed. It’s crazy to see faker still dominating the world so many years later.
Really? I'm really on the opposite side here: I feel like game 5 was the worst of the BO because it felt more like BLG losing because they played poorly whereas all 4 other games felt like the team winning won for being arguably much better despite the ennemies not making (many) mistakes BLG' draft in game 5 was very questionable and On's performance as Rell was a travesty of what he offered in game 1
@@paimonisfood4986 not really, bin played pretty well again Zeus, I would say it's a 50 50, the biggest weakness of blg is probably their support and mid in the last game
Keria is the *Actual* mvp of this series. Not even a question. Faker just has his :"global taunt" and thats including fans haha. WIthout keria stepping up, there is no T1 victory.
@@Heightren As he does lol. That said, I genuinely think games 1 and 3 were some of fakers worst performances in professional gameplay ever. Like yea, he clutched it up and came through and that is a huge amount of it; the overwhelming majority; but it *is* fair to critique his performance in those games. Very subpar and put his team in deleterious positions. Game 5 looks great for faker, but my god that game was 100% the keria show. Faker pressed R at a cool time... Keria played amongst the best of his career here.
Very good play from him, but the game wouldnt have been won by BLG because of knights tp, sure the fight wouldve been won and maybe a top turret or 2 but t1 wouldve crossmapped cloud soul which is by far the strongest soul, also baron wasnt up and there still would be 2 members of t1 able to defend long enough for the others to respawn when they even have baron
Keria is the best support in the worlds obviously but knight tp will not win them the game , its still a good gold lead and BLG is still running a full on dive comp vs 4 peelers + xayah who is the best anti dive adc
I think Guma is more underrated. Keria was the most acknowledged player for t1 from swiss up until game 4 of finals. That's still including the 8 in a row deathless games by Guma and he's still the most underrated imo. And if I had to pick a tournament mvp, it would be Keria and it's not even close.
@@KappaChiino Even in finals, Keria was insane. Faker didn't die in the last teamfight because Keria interrupted Knight's TP. He might've been unsung, but he was a hero nonetheless. But yeah, Faker having his single best performance of the year at the Worlds finals is just straight cinema, and the reason why he is the GOAT. He most certainly wasn't the best player all year around, below Chovy, Knight and many others. But when it came to Worlds, when his team needed him the most, he rose up to the occasion. Many players underperform in these situations, some keep their wits, but no one can overperform in these situations as consistently as Faker.
Bro was in a coma when Faker traumatized RNG with his 5-game Galio in the semi-finals of Worlds 2017. And it was the ardent censer meta as well. Sure, they lost to SSG eventually but it was arguably the best solo performance of any player in Worlds.
thanks for the vid rival 20:15 this is crazy to me just listening to the crowd's reactions after each crucial teamfight spell was casted or after each takedown THIS IS WORLDS 🙌
I don't even watch League. I just sit at the sidelines and wait for cool shit like this to happen and watch the community's reaction to it all. Y'all are so enthusiastic about it and it's genuinely fun to watch a bunch of people get really psyched about something as innocent as a videogame. Puts joy in my heart lol
The final play was just immaculate. It felt like BLG had a chance but the entire play was perfect, Keria clutched that fight so hard, stopped Knight's TP which would've guaranteed the kill on Faker. Also if Elk didn't waste his flash during the play prior he probably could've lived and helped secure the kill too. Must've been cathartic for Zeus when he kept getting 3-4 man ganked in the later games to have that entire situation get flipped into T1's favor.
Everyone remembers that Zed play by Faker as the best play ever, We might have just witnessed a new contender An ult that won them a 2-2 Worlds final series win
It was funny watching all of the twitch chat spamming BOMBA emote when Zeus picked gragas, hearing from the commenters about how Zeus' gragas is very good and signature pick... And then in game it was all like this 20:26, LOL Anyway the chat was full of BOMBA emotes when Zeus did literally anything. So funny
If anyone was wondering In an interview T1 spoke about their potential worlds skins Zeus: admitted he had a pretty limited champ pool, either *Gragas* or *Camille* Oner: whilst having a variety of choices he narrowed it down to either *Xin Zhao* or *Vi* The GOAT: undecided but after his finals performance, either *Sylas* or *Galio* (probably Sylas) Gumayusi: either *Jhin* or *Varus* Keria: didn’t play Lux (missed opportunity in game 1) but said his choices are either *Renata* or *Pyke*
14:17 Oner is detailed af here He first dodges Rakan's and Ziggs's Q and forces out Rakan's ult (their models are colliding making it a guaranteed hit) After the charm ends, he E's Ziggs to dodge Sej's ult He then hit the honey fruit and eat them all up and managed to survive until ziggs is dead while renata's W is still active, reviving him and making him continuing on the fight
Zeus being blasted early game along with picking Ornn and the funny fight botlane in game 4 solidified him as the successor of TheShy. And reminder that TheShy blasted Bin last year.
Yep, definitely tournament mvp. It's just sad and cringe tho that faker haters (most of them are t1 "fans" even) are denying what faker did game 4 and 5 because of the ahri tp cancel by Keria which definitely was a great play, but it shouldn't mean faker wasn't the finals mvp and that all the "glazing" isn't warranted.
@@SoloKatOnly This T1 roster is best best ever and i think litteraly everyone delivered HARD. There's not a single player on T1 that didn't deserve that Trophy.
It's rough because kerias series was definitely tainted by his braum pick, a lot of the commentary and chat was focused on it being a reason for them. Keria definitely pulled it around towards the latter half of the finals though.
@@SoloKatOnly There are people on both sides who are denying what Keria or Faker did, and that is indeed cringe. Keria was prob the Worlds MVP, no doubt, having consistently insane performances all the tournament, even if some games from him he had a bad performance. But this last series would have been lost if they had any other mid than Faker. His games 4 and 5 were legacy games for him, in what probably is the most robust legacy that will ever exist in E-sports history, at the eleventh year of his career, and plagued by injuries all year. There is no need to deny anything on either side, it's these two showing up the way they did the reason that they managed to win Worlds.
Just a note; the tournament winning fight was won by keria. Not many people know about it yet but knight’s ahri which was 1k gold ahead and the carry teleported from mid to top for that fight, but keria ulted him away winning the fight as knight would have landed at top before t1 reinforcements came. IE keria won the tournament
Even though it's a great play by keria how is that the tournament winning play and keria should get the full credit? So Zeus and Faker didn't need to do anything and keria's poppy play is all that's required for winning the whole tournament?
@@glidersuzuki5572 so let me break it down for you. It’s not that they did not win the tournament, but if keria did not ult knight there. What will happen is this: 1. Knight teleports in time to Ult dash and charm faker. At most here, it’s a 2-1 trade in favour of BLG, the fight would have ended and the game would have carried on with an uncertain ending however favouring T1. Likely that knight’s ahri would have all 3 dashes after the fight even if the rest of T1 showed up. But because of the TP deny by keria, he created the opportunity for T1 to win at that moment because of it, and they won. Meaning Keria made the decisive move to win the tournament. Remember this is game 5 of a 2-2 series. Any team fight at this point could tip the scales in an already tense match. Blg was down but not out as we have seen their performance in game 1 and 3. That’s why keria won T1 the tournament. Because he created the opportunity and with that opportunity they won. Not to discredit the rest of the team, we all know everyone played phenomenally this is the best series in the the past 5 years at least. Edit: In truth, it’s not an outlandish 5 head play. It’s a skillshot on an immobile champion, even a bronze player could have done it. But because it happened that’s where the opportunity came from.
@freddyfrog70 I know that much. But walking up to a stationary target and hitting poppy ult doesn't make him the finals MVP or the game decider. By your same logic, Keria ults away knight. But what if Zeus and Faker die because Faker doesn't kill elk. Now it's a winning state for BLG better than if knight cleans up
that’s not the point, I never claimed that he was the mvp. we all saw faker’s game winning sylas play at game 4 and his overall performance in game 5. But keria’s ult literally decided the outcome of the game
Faker played out of his mind this whole series. He's so invested in the game that he couldn't hold back his emotion after winning. Glad to see him happy like that.
Who is Faker? For the blind, He is the vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is the water. If Faker thinks, I agree. If Faker speaks, I’m listening. If Faker has one fan, it is me. If Faker has no fans, I don’t exist.
Notes from the Spanish stream: Until game 4 , losing team always had three kills and games were always over at 27 minutes. We called it the 3 kills curse xD What a final series. T1 went ham last two games.
Honestly this was a treat to watch, 4 games that were basically stomps from either T1 and BLG and the last game where the tension was super thick, both teams respecting each other, looking for an opportunity to turn the game in their favor, the last game was so even until both teams were forced to team fight and those last 2 team fights qere so tense, BLG seemed like they were winning the first team fight, but the jax using a flank TP and not being present for the follow up was enough for T1 to change the flow of things, faker really locked in for those last 2 games, he did some amazing plays, but everyone played super well, I especially liked Guma's ashe and kallista and Zeus' gragas, this was an amazing finally to worlds 2024 Edit: and of course, how could I forget, keria as poppy saving the finals by interrupting that TP in that very last fight
Game 5 was absolute cinema, as was the whole series. The back and forth. Chat going crazy the entire series. Then down 2-1 you can see a switch flip on and all of T1 lock tf in. Faker in that last Sylas and Galio game was insane,
Faker really said, ok guys I let you have your moments; it’s time to show you what a god looks like. Faker deserved that MVP. The complete trust T1 has in each other is insane. No one loses that game 5 river fight and thinks let’s reengage, T1 does and Faker turns a losing fight into a game winning sequence and puts the top lane cherry on top.
There might not be a better version of T1 than what we have today Faker: the general in his prime, with all the wisdom of 10 years of League within him leading what is probably 4 of the greatest, most prominent warriors of League as of today with Zeus, Gumayusi, Oner, and Keria
Hearing the O2 arena's crowd made the games more enjoyable to watch. Hearing them react live to the big plays so loud... It just makes things so much more exciting
@@wanderinguploadsBLG also win the game if Faker didn’t carry that Game 4. They don’t win the 2v4 in top of Faker doesn’t kill Elk. BLG wins if Faker doesn’t get the flash taunt on Knight. We can keep going on the list of plays that happen throughout a series
Last year, vs JDG, Faker used Azir's ultimate while the champion was screaming "Trust in me" This year he used his ultimate to win the series, the ultimate from Galio is called "Hero's Entrance" You cannot make this shit up!
When it was T1 vs an LPL team they could’ve just handed T1 the trophy. Faker simply refuses to lose against the LPL, still a 100% winrate. The King, The GOAT, The Unkillable Demon King.
Tbh id argue game 2 was even less close than game 1… at least t1 was somewhat coming back until a certain point in gsme 1. In game 2 t1 took lead and never let blg do anything
I remember when people started doubting fakers skill and if he can still hold the title of the goat but with this back to back world performance we can't deny it he came back to remind the world who faker is this game is so chilling men I love this series also kudos to blg they gave us a really good series it was better than last year which was too one sided
Faker might genuinely be THE best gamer of all time. Remember that guy who was famous because he beat PacMan twice or whatever? Then it turned out he'd faked it? Yeah, not that kind of Faker. This man might genuinely be the best we've ever seen. And it's not just about raw ability. He's been playing for how long? And what level? When has a single person ever had this much impact on his game, the games around him, and the people who watch him? It's genuinely insane.
15:19 that claw back turn-around against a non-interactive Ziggs / Smolder Poke Comp is giving me vibes of picking Leona against Ardent Censer back in 2017. >Ziggs uses W to execute the tower and doesn't have it back up , flash still on cooldown for a little while longer >Smolder flash still down as well > Faker-Sylas hard engages on Rakan, steals the ult, interrupts the knockup with his own, flash - protobelts in and wins the fight >Rakan had ult up, but uses it too late, when his team is already hit with Poppy ult Knock-up and Renata Ult Takeover. >Impeccable timing from Faker, legit turned around the series. People are wowing over the Galio in Game 5, but Game 5 doesn't happen without this Sylas Save.
> flash - protobelts in and wins the fight He actually R protobelt flashes so Rakan couldn't R him, by the time Rakan is out of CC Faker is already on the carries
not a fan of faker but holy moly I gotta give it to him. he played SO FREAKING WELL like that 3v4 galio play blew my mind... wp to the young man and T1 🥳
no shit this is ideal timing for me, I watched some f1 at 1am and noticed league starting but couldn't stay awake... and wake up to this, perfection haha
maybe more interventions/ur image appearing over the footage to point to details (even if not talking over it. which could be done some times by adjusting the tracks' volumes.) I think something like that would hit great.
you leave out (missed?) a lot of essential context. 8:53 the crab was less a "tempo on waves to attempt scuttle" play. and more kindred (xun) intentionally not killing the crab and warding enemy jungle instead. then on respawn they snapped on oner after he was on vision getting baited by that 13:00 Zeus getting caught countless times is a completely wrong presentation of reality. look at gnar cs. 1 cs at 4:30, while zeus got lots of xp. he was ahead in that scenario, especially when including the lead he gained for t1's other lanes here. 13 mins into the game zeus was even the only one with a big gold lead on the whole team - biggest in the whole match. have a good sleep though lol and thanks for the quick snap on the upload here
Xun would have still preferred to have the scuttle if possible for the mark but also knew that Oner would be there and they could probably kill him. Zeus's deaths still aren't good, they're just really not that bad and not the best use of resources for BLG. Or to phrase it another way, it would've been better had Zeus not died 3 times but despite that he maintained a lead, a poor choice from BLG and well played to T1 for making the most of the situation.
The whole downfall BLG had wouldn't happen if they didn't decided to keep ganking on just Zeus the whole series, they denied themselves all the resources to scale up
Keria with the MVP play in that final fight. Removing Knight with the ult, as he tries to tp in, stops what would've been a quick kill onto Faker, and allow's T1 time to get in and win the fight.
Props to you for managing to get the vid out at that hour right after worlds, how were you even conscious? XD I think I fell asleep at game 4 (SA start time was like 12:30am)
15:24 Xun misses Ult on faker here, that for sure would have made the difference this fight. In game 2, failing Grub smite, saving Faker with his ult (7:12), etc. Don't wanna put the blame on anyone and don't want to take away from the crazy performance of Faker, but damn, Xun inted it and his missplays made Faker shine even brighter.
Seeing Zeus dove 3 times in a row in game 4 was peak SoloQ experience
when toplaner does his job... thats what usually tends to happen
They were ahed because of it to they got grubs and gapped bin of exp cause cause blg keeps on diving Zeus lol😅
And they were not worth at all, bin was so far behind after that and the only one ahead was elk but guma was keeping up by farming plates on the opposite side
That last time we see the Bausian law ever probably 🫡🫡
i thought he was TSM Dyrus for sec there xD
the 3 v 4 galio play by Faker in game 5 was insane af! my GOAT
Lets not forget the whole fight was only this close, thanks to Keria canceling the tp from knight.

That’s why keria won T1 the tournament.
Because he created the opportunity and with that opportunity they won.
Not to discredit the rest of the team, we all know everyone played phenomenally this is the best series in the the past 5 years at least.
Edit: In truth, it’s not an outlandish 5 head play. It’s a skillshot on an immobile champion, even a bronze player could have done it. But because it happened that’s where the opportunity came from.
@freddyfrog70 I know that much. But walking up to a stationary target and hitting poppy ult doesn't make him the finals MVP or the game decider.
By your same logic, Keria ults away knight. But what if Zeus and Faker die because Faker doesn't kill elk. Now it's a winning state for BLG better than if knight cleans up
that’s not the point, I never claimed that he was the mvp. we all saw faker’s game winning sylas play at game 4 and his overall performance in game 5.
But keria’s ult literally decided the outcome of the game
Faker just being Faker is insane
games 4 and 5 were some of the most exciting proplay games in years, especially because the stakes were so high
16:34 is such amazing movement by keria
Im going crazy this man won 5 worlds and 2 Times 2 Times in a row No one will ever do Something Like this ever again im Sure of IT
Faker made some crazy plays in the last 2 games. Well earned MVP
Faker played out of his mind this whole series. He's so invested in the game that he couldn't hold back his emotion after winning. Glad to see him happy like that.
Who is Faker? For the blind, He is the vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is the water. If Faker thinks, I agree. If Faker speaks, I’m listening. If Faker has one fan, it is me. If Faker has no fans, I don’t exist.
Notes from the Spanish stream:
Until game 4 , losing team always had three kills and games were always over at 27 minutes. We called it the 3 kills curse xD
What a final series. T1 went ham last two games.
Zeus might be the mvp for taking so much pressure and never collapsing
6:41 everyone is saying Keria's poppy ult was unnoticed but that renata pull on Elk and Xun trying to block it for Elk was gorgeous
Props to you getting the vid out, Rival. And thank you.
Thank you for the recap Rival!!!! What a BANGER HOLYYYY
All these games were "Faker survives somehow!?"
After the first 3 games
Faker is like “Fine, i do it myself”
The plays is crazy
I didnt get to watch these games due to work, So thanks again rival for giving me the rundown
Also Enjoy the rest haha
Honestly this was a treat to watch, 4 games that were basically stomps from either T1 and BLG and the last game where the tension was super thick, both teams respecting each other, looking for an opportunity to turn the game in their favor, the last game was so even until both teams were forced to team fight and those last 2 team fights qere so tense, BLG seemed like they were winning the first team fight, but the jax using a flank TP and not being present for the follow up was enough for T1 to change the flow of things, faker really locked in for those last 2 games, he did some amazing plays, but everyone played super well, I especially liked Guma's ashe and kallista and Zeus' gragas, this was an amazing finally to worlds 2024
Edit: and of course, how could I forget, keria as poppy saving the finals by interrupting that TP in that very last fight
Thank you for that recap. Faker is just the goat
Game 5 was absolute cinema, as was the whole series. The back and forth. Chat going crazy the entire series. Then down 2-1 you can see a switch flip on and all of T1 lock tf in. Faker in that last Sylas and Galio game was insane,
Faker really said, ok guys I let you have your moments; it’s time to show you what a god looks like. Faker deserved that MVP. The complete trust T1 has in each other is insane. No one loses that game 5 river fight and thinks let’s reengage, T1 does and Faker turns a losing fight into a game winning sequence and puts the top lane cherry on top.
Been out all day, so this video its exactly what i need it. Thank you.
Thankyou for staying up after worlds to make a video Rival you're the GOAT
That game 4 and 5 was insane, truly the Faker Show.
There might not be a better version of T1 than what we have today
Faker: the general in his prime, with all the wisdom of 10 years of League within him leading what is probably 4 of the greatest, most prominent warriors of League as of today with Zeus, Gumayusi, Oner, and Keria
The best damned series I've ever seen. Stayed up to like 3:30am Korean time to watch it all!
Dude the Keira stopping teleport at the end there was crazy
The series was so good man. All amazing players!
havn't watched worlds in years. this was a great recap
Hearing the O2 arena's crowd made the games more enjoyable to watch. Hearing them react live to the big plays so loud... It just makes things so much more exciting
Faker MVP absolutely deserved.
Nah keria is the real mvp
@@wanderinguploads maybe for quarters and semis, but finals faker absolutely deserved it.
@@window9213 did u see knights tp that got canceled? Blg wins the game right there if that tp goes through
@@wanderinguploadsBLG also win the game if Faker didn’t carry that Game 4. They don’t win the 2v4 in top of Faker doesn’t kill Elk. BLG wins if Faker doesn’t get the flash taunt on Knight. We can keep going on the list of plays that happen throughout a series
I fell asleep attempting to watch it, also in aus, cheers for the recap you legendddd
The last faker play .. GOD💯LIKE 💯
Last year, vs JDG, Faker used Azir's ultimate while the champion was screaming "Trust in me"
This year he used his ultimate to win the series, the ultimate from Galio is called "Hero's Entrance"
You cannot make this shit up!
I feel like you should've covered the zone & freeze in g5 a little more. Seeing Guma level 8 and 40 cs diff to elk's level 6 at 19:54 is crazy.
Yea it was insane! I was there watching live on RUclips.
This was the best series I’ve ever seen, an amazing opening ceremony, and I got to see it live in the O2!!!! What an experience!!
When it was T1 vs an LPL team they could’ve just handed T1 the trophy. Faker simply refuses to lose against the LPL, still a 100% winrate. The King, The GOAT, The Unkillable Demon King.
I can't believe T1 won. Looking at the first games I even thought it was going to be 3-0 for BLG coz they made it look so easy at certain moments.
Tbh id argue game 2 was even less close than game 1… at least t1 was somewhat coming back until a certain point in gsme 1. In game 2 t1 took lead and never let blg do anything
I remember when people started doubting fakers skill and if he can still hold the title of the goat but with this back to back world performance we can't deny it he came back to remind the world who faker is this game is so chilling men I love this series also kudos to blg they gave us a really good series it was better than last year which was too one sided
Faker might genuinely be THE best gamer of all time.
Remember that guy who was famous because he beat PacMan twice or whatever? Then it turned out he'd faked it? Yeah, not that kind of Faker.
This man might genuinely be the best we've ever seen. And it's not just about raw ability. He's been playing for how long? And what level? When has a single person ever had this much impact on his game, the games around him, and the people who watch him?
It's genuinely insane.
agreed
Zip it up after ur done
KB! Just came up on my RUclips algorithm, 131k! Congrats mate, hard work pays off. Hope you’re well 🤙
THANK YOU FOR THE RECAP BOSS
T1 has been at Worlds 9 times. This is his 5th win. *He has >50% winrate at WORLDS.*
15:19 that claw back turn-around against a non-interactive Ziggs / Smolder Poke Comp is giving me vibes of picking Leona against Ardent Censer back in 2017.
>Ziggs uses W to execute the tower and doesn't have it back up , flash still on cooldown for a little while longer
>Smolder flash still down as well
> Faker-Sylas hard engages on Rakan, steals the ult, interrupts the knockup with his own, flash - protobelts in and wins the fight
>Rakan had ult up, but uses it too late, when his team is already hit with Poppy ult Knock-up and Renata Ult Takeover.
>Impeccable timing from Faker, legit turned around the series. People are wowing over the Galio in Game 5, but Game 5 doesn't happen without this Sylas Save.
> flash - protobelts in and wins the fight
He actually R protobelt flashes so Rakan couldn't R him, by the time Rakan is out of CC Faker is already on the carries
The commentary was brilliant too
not a fan of faker but holy moly I gotta give it to him. he played SO FREAKING WELL like that 3v4 galio play blew my mind... wp to the young man and T1 🥳
Video's like this are what suck me back into LoL, only to be reminded that 99% of players are hot garbage at the game. (Including myself)
That nocturn dive was perfect, absolutely perfect
Faker is Him, and Zeus neutralize every top laner this worlds is one of the key for them to win
no shit this is ideal timing for me, I watched some f1 at 1am and noticed league starting but couldn't stay awake... and wake up to this, perfection haha
maybe more interventions/ur image appearing over the footage to point to details (even if not talking over it. which could be done some times by adjusting the tracks' volumes.) I think something like that would hit great.
I love the fact i saw poppy i main her recently and got 100k points shes fun
Faker the Stalwart King!
you leave out (missed?) a lot of essential context.
8:53 the crab was less a "tempo on waves to attempt scuttle" play. and more kindred (xun) intentionally not killing the crab and warding enemy jungle instead. then on respawn they snapped on oner after he was on vision getting baited by that
13:00 Zeus getting caught countless times is a completely wrong presentation of reality. look at gnar cs. 1 cs at 4:30, while zeus got lots of xp. he was ahead in that scenario, especially when including the lead he gained for t1's other lanes here. 13 mins into the game zeus was even the only one with a big gold lead on the whole team - biggest in the whole match.
have a good sleep though lol and thanks for the quick snap on the upload here
He still had 1 CS by 5:30 right before Zeus died a 3rd time.
Xun would have still preferred to have the scuttle if possible for the mark but also knew that Oner would be there and they could probably kill him.
Zeus's deaths still aren't good, they're just really not that bad and not the best use of resources for BLG. Or to phrase it another way, it would've been better had Zeus not died 3 times but despite that he maintained a lead, a poor choice from BLG and well played to T1 for making the most of the situation.
Insert *THATS WHY HE IS THE GOAT* meme
The whole downfall BLG had wouldn't happen if they didn't decided to keep ganking on just Zeus the whole series, they denied themselves all the resources to scale up
A new era, THE SAME EMPIRE!
-Medic
Unkillable Demon King, Unkillable ONCE MORE!
Keria with the MVP play in that final fight. Removing Knight with the ult, as he tries to tp in, stops what would've been a quick kill onto Faker, and allow's T1 time to get in and win the fight.
im a little new,
@ 18:18 did oner use the random wolf to dash in with poppy? if so thats so insane
Props to you for managing to get the vid out at that hour right after worlds, how were you even conscious? XD
I think I fell asleep at game 4 (SA start time was like 12:30am)
I would go as far as to say this was potentially the greatest Bo5 to witness in full out of all the finals I've seen
just total goosebumps this entire match
The 3v4 mid was the real game winning play
And then the unkillable demon king unkillabledemonkinged all over the place.
The "T1 is the past, the present, and the future!" line by the commentator sent shivers
Bin is put in the bin, xun is slowed down, knight is relieved of duty, elk is back to the slaughterhouse and on is turned off.
Bin is going back to being a trash bin and eating garbage
game 4/5 were so good
That was a real fucking Final, the atmosphere during Public Viewing was insane.
real question now: galio or sylas skin from faker? im excited!
worlds 2024 lived up to its theme song for sure. t1 esports legends
Game 4 Zeus give them a taste of the BausenLaw
I'm so happy for Rekkles, he finally won worlds
When they needed him the most, he showed up.
15:24 Xun misses Ult on faker here, that for sure would have made the difference this fight. In game 2, failing Grub smite, saving Faker with his ult (7:12), etc. Don't wanna put the blame on anyone and don't want to take away from the crazy performance of Faker, but damn, Xun inted it and his missplays made Faker shine even brighter.
