This is a documentary on KT Rolster. A team who has built some of the best League of Legends rosters who've never been able to finish off a tournament. Well, almost never. They're a staple of lol esports history, but their rivals SK Telecom T1 (now just T1) and Faker have always outshone them. KT might be one of the most underrated teams in Korean League of Legends Esports, but they're also one of the most underrated teams in the world.

Respect for score for his unyielding loyalty
Kaozman and Faker for having to survive 2018 skt
@@theanonymouschicken169 Yeah faker too!
@@theanonymouschicken169 atleast faker won stuff. score NEVER won in 6 years before his first win lol
@@maxcormier7821 that doesn't really matter, Score stayed at kt with the ups and downs of the org. You would rarely find someone like that these days even on sports.
@@skrattaoppar9753 ??? im saying score went through more and deserves more praise in this regard than Faker, that's all lol.
Gbay videos are like solar eclipses, we don't get them often, but they're always amazing.
And if you watch them, you go blind. Still worth it though.
Why is the top comment always about complimenting his videos. Its more appropriate for the top comment on what it is being talked about on the video itself, smh.
@@froilanjosephpaz4941 because people agree on a compliment that is deserved.
no
@@cheyhey2170 it because no one cares about kt so theres nothing to comment
Exquisite documentary, you should be proud of this great work.
Agree, although insec popularized the style, not invent it.
As someone living in Buffalo, I thought "Man, these guys sound like the Bills." Then boom. 50 minutes into the video.
As a Bills fan can you explain the flaming table thing to me?
@@triburst Gotta get excited about something, especially if the game isn't it.
Man, I figured I would just watch 10-15min and lose interest, but here I am 55min later wanting more.
This was really well put together. Keep them coming.
Lies
“This would be a beautiful chance for redemption”
Me: yep, I know where this is going
*top 10 anime deaths. No.1 - KT Rolster*
-clocks in for work.
Needs a video.
Gbay uploaded a 30+ minute video.-
Ah shit, here we go again.
XD I am sick at home and enjoying this vid 😁
you cant say here we go again for a channel that uploads 4x a year.
"Yes, that Samsung, the company that made your phone, and your fridge, and your dishwasher." LUL
Samsung: from dishwashers to korean missile launchers
"It's not that the wildcards played well, it's just that the main regions played bad."
Sums up pretty much any salty EU/NA/KR fans tbh
Cn?
I mean alot of times its true besides na ofc cause they are a wildcard region aswell
@@yeah8709 This aged well
EU seeing their 4th seed not even making out of play-in and CN's 4th seed almost died in the sand, and dont forget TSM being the only team in the whole tournament in 2020 to walkout without a single win
As a KT fan... This hurts, watching the IG vs KT semi final was... hard my favourite LCK team vs my favourite LPL team, both teams I desperately wanted to win... Watching them loose was hard, wathcing 2019 spring... was harder
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly
Gbay99 is back
post that again in 3 months when next vid is out. I'll wait
Bacc*
As a newer fan of League, the one team I fell in love with was the 2017 KT Rolster lineup. At first, it was about buying into the hype, the "superteam" mantra the then squad was known for. But after every game, every loss, every hiccup, I realized the reason I loved the team was not because of their potential and ability to win, it was because after every loss, no matter how big or how small, they were always trying to get better in an endeavor to achieve greatness.
That best of 5 series against IG broke my heart for KT. To always know the truth of if they won that series, that roster would be at one time, the indisputable best in the world, and would go down in League history as legends. It hurt even more when I knew the players would disband if they didn't win the championship right then and there.
Ever since, I haven't really followed League anymore, because that team was the only reason I was following competitive league, and was the only reason I was trying to get better at the game. I followed that roster from the very inception of it, to its final moments, and I don't think I'll ever get attached and "excited" to a team as much as I was to that 2017-2018 roster. There was a certain draw and feel to KT at the time that I just haven't felt ever since. I believe that's the thing about KT, even when they lose, they look amazing and can very well be the best team there is.
Somehow, a part of me still believes that one day, that roster would be whole again, and the thought of that roster winning it all can't help but excite me. A part of me goes out to that original 2017 roster. Smeb, who at one time was being touted the player to finally be better than Faker. Score, the greatest roleswap player of all time, the greatest jungler in the world, the pillar for KT, THE franchise player. Pawn, the second coming of faker himself. Deft, the ADC superstar, Jinx God, Ezreal beast! Mata, the most profilic support of all time. Finally, Ucal, the new hope, the midlaner who finally brought score his title.
My heart goes out to all these players, and to KT themselves. No team will ever come close to you in my heart. In success, and in failure, you will always be my favorite team. Whatever you try your hand at next, I'll be there and I'll try my best not to get excited.
Hats off to you KT.
M e l a n c h o l y 憂鬱 i feel ya today i'm still rooting for them even after that bad spring season 2019.... and again we just lose against HLE :(
Whoever KT buys, it is a team but not 5 super talent inviduals thats what i see
:( hurts.
I don't watch proplay, but seriously, this broke my heart
These documentary videos are so beautiful and well made. Keep it up and thank you!
Gbay, the best player to never hit challenger.
Mad respect to score staying loyal to a team you never won with
"Good luck in solo queue, and have a wonderful day."
I missed this.
Amazing video GBae, continue making great content. Missed you :*
piggybacking to say same
What a masterpiece of a documentary. You made me fell emotional for a team that i have 0 fellings. Keep the good work Gbay!
Jurgen Klopp told a player 'stay and become a legend, or go there and be another man' - this applies to score mr KT
ハチドリ but in the end Coutinho left for Barca, and he is up for sale now
I really like how you focus on the stories that are not the main focus. You don't focus on SKT's amazing runs, you don't focus on Fnatic or just the best teams and players of regions, but more on the underdogs, the achievements that go unnoticed and the like. You really broaden my perspective on competitive League with every video. Keep it up!
25:25 oh the clasic "wtf 2 shens" and that classic faker outplay
You, sir, are a genius at making these documenary style videos. I anticipate the upcoming one if any. Great job gbay.
I forgot this channel existed since you upload so little. Great content though. Worth the wait imo.
He prob goig for quality > quantity now
Don"t care if it takes 6 months if it means you're making videos as amazing and that you like doing
he's been making more videos on his 2nd channel m8
LiAuN XeNON whats his 2nd channel??
@@sheepgoesmoo4281 gbay100
I really like how you went into the history of Starcraft.
All of the KT players are so iconic. No matter what team those players are on, I will always root for them. Amazing content and love the insight on the different time periods
I don't follow E-Sports at all, but I always watch your videos on it, and boy this one took me for a ride, great work as always Gbay. Keep it up!
Thanks for making a video about my team Gbay!
Gbay99. I can't say how sad it is to me that I don't see your videos on a regular basis anymore. With work I couldn't catch your streams often, so I'd just watch your videos. Your documentaries are fantastic. They're really well done, well researched and extremely well put together and every time I see another one, I immediately click on it. Your road to plat series inspired me to play more seriously and I ended up peaking at diamond at the same time you achieved your rank. You're one of my favorite you-tubers and I look forward to your next documentary :D
I completely forgot that Score was an ADC before Jungle. I've never realized how long Score's career was and it's incredible how he's maintained his skill this whole time even when switching roles
honestly, you deserve so much more, i cannot believe how much research and work you put into these documentaries. You might be the only person who i actually search to watch a documentary for fun. Such an incredible flow of story-telling that just grips you, and i am instantly and constantly interested in whatever the subject of the video. Well done. Amazing work.
KT exists.
Excitement: I'm about to end this teams whole career.
Gbay for first lol esports historian? Love your docs man
I have never shed tears on a team I never rooted for before until now. It must have been so excruciating for them to suffer this end of the stick, getting so close but just couldn't make it.
I don't believe it! Speaking as an old kt fan and an old league of legends player even years after those heavy loses just a single video, that perfectly sums everything up, was enough to make me remember all those heartbreaking moments! It is truly unbelievable how much one team had to go through and of course the fans. Gbay bro we can only thank you for all this hard work and of course we wish you would keep it up!
The quarterfinals of KT vs IG were definitely not favourite vs favourite. KT as first seed from Korea was obviously a favourite, but IG had been beaten by FNC in their group and RNG were THE undisputed tournament favourites.
Yah that’s true but it was pretty clear after the match with KT that IG were going to win world. In the finals and semi-finals IG didn’t drop a single game. They dropped 2 to KT. But either way I think it’s pretty must accepted that that IG vs KT was the true world finals that year.
Thank you you for making that. Highly enjoyed.
I've been watching LCK since spring 2015, and it is definitely heartbreaking
watching KT at times. That 2016 gauntlet final vs Samsung was tough, particularly
since they were expected to win. And I agree that KT vs IG last year at Worlds was
basically the final come early.
Being a fan of SKT hurt me because that meant my inner KT fan was sad all the time. Always sorrow within the joy. I loved their prime years and the players a lot. Thank you for putting in amazing work to recognize them!
I fell in love with KT Rolster when I first started playing Lol in 2015, their play at Worlds that year somehow felt personable. I liked the players, their attitude, their effort. Watched LCK ever since. The "KT Roller-Coaster" is real, I've gone to bed disappointed -so many- times. The 2016 "10 hp" Baron steal by Smeb haunts me still. I follow the players of that roster, still cheering for Ssumday and Fly. I actually cried when Score finally won the finals last year. KT isn't a team you pick because you like to win, you pick them because you can identity with the players, and their story. No matter how much you get knocked down, get back up, and keep fighting.
@Gbay99 your documentaries series is the best league content I ever saw. I've followed you for years and I've seen you struggle to define your content, and I'm really happy that you found a format that suits you as well. Keep doing these and become the first league historian ;)
These videos always make me want to cry. 10/10 thanks for everything Gbay
EYYY GBAY, i forgot u exist. Nice that i got a video recommended from you
I absolutely love your transition from relatively low quality talking videos that don't last for more than 30 minutes to full-length documentaries.
Seriously, even though I loved watching your content, I knew it wasn't so good. I would have never expected you to make this kind of content.
It brings a tear to my eye to see the good ole days of Starcraft.....I wish RTS's would make a comeback.
honesty gbay, your one of the most wholesome people i have stayed subscribed to from the start of playing league. thanks for your all of your hard work
I always enjoyed the League commentary and tip videos you would put out but I think you've found something you're exceptionally great at with these documentary videos. The quality and effort you put into these videos is amazing and I hope they don't stop anytime soon. You've really found something you do better than any of the other League content creators I've seen and I'm glad to see you posting again (even if not very often lol).
Man, what can i say... i dont play league for almost a year ,after playing it for 6 or 7 years, and your videos are allways a river of nostalgia and emotions every time i see one; i stop everything what im doing to watch it, i follow you for a very long time and every video you make in this chanel is so special, you put a lot of effort and work in everyone you make. I hope you can make more of these, i really love to see you doing good.
Saludos desde Argentina. :)
Boy you deserve every single thumbs-up on these videos.
Keep up the amazing work, I can't believe I consumed an hour of e-sports history while never having watched a single professional LoL-game in my life, along with showing no interest whatsoever in any other sport. How do you even do that.
The new ASL appearences of Flash was not under KT anymore. But yeah he was a god and unmatched, the starcraft days were my favorite ever. Thank you for including this.
TBH Samsung Blue deserves their own mini-doc. A team that was so dominant in S4 and probably the favorite for Worlds before losing to White in a total implosion is such a wild story.
Over the course of 6 years I have been subscribed, I have never been anything but amazed at your continued dedication to this game, the community, and esports. Every single documentary has been amazing and each one keeps getting better. You truly deserve more credit for the hard work and dedication you put into this community. You will always be my favorite League of Legends RUclipsr, always have, always will be. Thank you for the undying love for the community and the esports scene. You always have and continue to inspire me to keep at it, not just in league, but in life. Thank you Gbay, always keep being awesome!
RNG was the Buffalo Bills of League. KT is the Buffalo Bills of the LCK.
insec wasnt the guy who invented "the insec" there were people who did it before him, insec just was the first guy who did that on a tournament
as an KT fan this was hard to watch, but was also great to relive the good KT moments even tho they were few, i remember the first KT game i watched was 2014 IEM katowice when KT Bullets faced Gambit in the semifinals, i was watching with my friend that was a gambit fan and KT was up 1-0 then the 2nd game KT was winning but GMB attempted a huge comeback until KTB did a insane call to backdoor with 5 members, it was such a memorable moment i just instantly became a KT fan, then later on the year i ended up seeing the OGN finals SSB vs KT Arrows, i didn't really follow the OGN tho since timezones were too bad, but i watched that series and it was incredible and KT winning at the ending made me super hyped to see them at worlds, i thought they had already qualified to worlds after that so i was shocked to see a few days later thayt they were down 0-2 vs NaJin in the qualifiers and ended up losing, i was really sad but since was my first year watching LOLEsports i just kept looking forward to next year, i got the KT icon every single year it was available at the shop and rooted for them to win LCK 2015 Sadly they lost but still believed they could perform at worlds, ssumday, score and arrow were just so likeable players and they played so well they deserved to win more, 2016 was too much for me honestly seeing them finally conquer their SKT demons by defeating them in the semifinals gave me so much hope for them to make worlds again but the 2 HP Baron vs ROX and the loss to Samsung was just too sad, then ssumday and arrow left the team and i lost a bit of my kt love, but also got insanely hyped for the super team since Deft and PawN were also among my favorite players, but ofc in the end they missed worlds again in such unfortunate fashion, it's insane to think in 2016 and 2017 KT was the ONLY Team to manage to beat the eventual world champions in bo5, and yet couldn't make it to the big stage, 2018 was the redemption year and i felt a huge amount of happiness when they won vs Griffin and aparently after that series Griffin enherited the KT curse losing 3 straight finals... and just like KT in 2018 lost to iG in the quarterfinals of worlds, i remember watching KT vs IG and that game 3 backdoor was in my opinion the defining moment of KT as a team, as KT they SHOULD lose in 3-0 and not be able to win the base race, but they did and as i was screaming due to the insanity of that moment i was sure that was gonna be the turnaroud of kt and they will get the reverse sweep and win worlds, but ofc they just lost and that was the last time we saw a really good KT team making a huge performance, 2019 and 2020 were years to forget as nothing good came out of the org, i still hope one day KT Rolster will win worlds and i'll be abble to buy my KT skins, but i'll prob be waiting a looong time for that... anyways thanks for making this documentary i really wish i had watched earlier
When he said "Good luck in soloq and have a wonderful day" I legit chocked up. How you have grown as both a person and a creator :) incredible quality. Proud of you.
Woohooo! I love your Videos, they have such a good quality and are really entertaining.
What a great video. Thank you for bringing back some good ol memories of old league for me.
I like how this is still true 4 years later
now KT are getting desperate to win
They signed 1/2 of 2022 DRX roster, Kingen is in Dplus and Zeka is in Hanwha Life Esports
HAHAHA love how Gbay just shows Ryu's face when describing what kt is known for back in the day
Gbay99! I have been watching you since you started making videos! This content is great and I am glad you are back!
Watching this after this previous LCK Summer and Worlds makes the curse feel all the more real.
People got excited, SKT got the energy and went from "Faker might need to retire." to "SKT are unstoppable monsters."
fr though KT picks T1 is just a legendary meme in worlds
Gbay... What an amazing video ! Great message as well - Thank you ! :)
kt: after all this time?
Rookie: lol no
How the fucc does this only have 4K views so far?? THIS DESERVES MORE
TEARS WHEN HE SAID GOOD LUCK IN SOLO Q
I love your documentaries, started watching them recently. And now I just discoverd you have a documentary on the team ive been cheering for since 2015. I already know these will be very emotional 50 minutes.
Flash isn't just considered the best SC:BW player of all time, he is the best player of all time. He's the current highest rated Bonjwa of all time as of the liquipedia article on Bonjwa's.
The new team who never wins is Griffin :
- 2nd in 2018 summer playoffs (2-3 vs KT)
- 3rd in 2018 regional finals (2-3 vs GenG)
-> couldn't qualify for Worlds 2018
- 2nd in 2019 spring playoffs (0-3 vs SKT) -> couldn't qualify for MSI 2019
2nd in 2019 summer playoffs (1-3 vs SKT)
Well this aged like milk...
Idc, every time, which is only so often, I get a little watery eyes hearing "good luck in solo que, and have a wonderful day". It reminds me of when i first starting watchin gbay99. When I was younger, when he was younger. When this game meant something else to me. How i changed and seeing him change as well. I want to sincerely say, Thank You gbay99, for all your hard work, TOP notch content, and making me want to become a better player in LoL and IRL.
2022 update: Deft, who was an integral part of KT in 2018 has won worlds with DRX
You can just tell how much effort Gbay puts into this and it truly has been an entertaining 50 minutes
As much as I miss the old "Completing league" and "road to X" videos, I have to say I do like the Docs. They're well made and I can tell it's a passion project. Something Gbay really cares about. And that's all that matters. I hope you really do enjoy making these, my dude. Keep it up.
I barely play league anymore, but I still make a point to watch all your videos, they’re all amazing
Your documentaries are out if this word, in 5 years I dont know when Faker retires I know that your documentary will be legendary :)
Wow, gbay ive been here since the very first guides. Became a fan ever since your runescape story of you getting 99 range.
Impressive how much your work has grown, you can really be proud of these documentaries.
Ill probably watch anything you put out, even silverware reviews but this.
THIS is where is subscribed for years ago
I watched this and I realized after watching the video that it was 55 minutes long. Man, this documentary was very entertaining.
Should've mentioned the unique story of G3 in the 2018 World Championship against IG, but a great documentary overall. Well done...
You gotta do one of these documentaries for CJ Entus, they got an interesting story too and with your style it would be another great documentary.
I find it amaizing how can a documentary like this be done by one guy, keep them coming!
Common misconception, InSec didn't actually invent the technique, it was already rampant in Korean solo queue. He was simply the one who popularized it pro play
I struggle watching most 10 minute videos. I watched this easily.
Long time League player here and while I root for SKT in LCK, I have great respect for KT, who's been in the pro scen for a long time, even if they never win.
I give props to Score for sticking with KT for so long, he's the face of KT just as much as Faker is to SKT and I'm glad he at least got an LCK championship before he retired for military service this year. Playing at a high level on a often losing team is a testament to his talent.
KT may not be doing well this year, but I pray that they nevet give up and keep fighting. I want to see the Telecom Wars go on for as long as LoL lives.
You have all these people that just love your creations, I'm one of them. You deserve much more views and subscribers, because it's just brilliant the content you're doing. DUDE YOU MADE ME CRY 2 TIMES, AREN'T YOU A LEGEND ??!
The 2HP baron steal was so hearbreaking even Gbay could not include it in his video
As an SKT fan since 2015, it's making me feel bad for KT through those years. 2018 was really their chance to win worlds since SKT was not able to qualify at that time.
Man I loved watching that ANX run at worlds.
Score is one of those ride or die, be with you through thick n thin, always giving 1000% type of dudes. That's why KT is committed to not letting him go and I'm sure he doesn't want to leave.
Another point of tragedy is that KT missed worlds 2017 because their rivals SKT (after beating KT) LOST to Longzhu in the finals, taking the 2nd seed which would’ve otherwise gone to KT
It just feels great to see your videos man. It feels like its been so long since I have seen your face and it always feels welcoming and familiar to listen to you talk about anything or just your content in general.
someone who dont play league anymore, made the best documentary for us, who already stop playin league too
Even after making it to worlds this year 2023 after not making it for many years. They still had the worst draw ever in the new swiss system having to face all eastern teams to qualify ( BLG DK WBG LNG DK ) keep in mind one of the semis is BLG vs WBG . They qualified and still draw JDG ( the team that won LPL spring Msi and LPL summer ) and on their way to complete golden road . They have to face them in quarters tomorrow. And they are at the most stacked bracket with LNG ( the second best Chinese team after JDG ) and T1 in the same bracket with them . Man i am really starting to believe they are cursed .
Good luck tomorrow KT
"You might have played insane in the series, you might have been better individually. But you still lost. Others might view this as an insane series but two months from know they will only remember the result. I may be satisfied by the way I played right now but I will never be satisfied with the way I played two months from now"
- A pro player ( I forgot the name)
Your videos remind me of the good days of league, and it makes me want to really get into it again.
And then I log in and see where the community has gone, which is far downhill. Nothing but toxicity. No more dancing with the enemies at level 1, no more joking in all chat. I couldn't tell you the last time I had fun with someone in this game, or the last time I made a new friend through League. It sucks.
For anyone who wants to see more regular stuff in between the documentaries I've been uploading to our second channel quite a bit lately: ruclips.net/channel/UCu3DXINXASlKe_HGwEZd4zg
I should get the next documentaries out at a more reasonable pace though :)
Yo wtf more gbay???
Gbay99 do you still play league?
I dont comment much on youtube videos normally. But dayumm it has been an amazing journey seeing you grow and how you keep transitioning your channel. There is no other league or even maybe gaming youtuber who does who you do, you have discovered such as niche amazing spot for you and I hope that this is as fulfilling for you to make as to watch.
I started watching you all the way back with the art of war series, and have been following you ever since so its super exciting to see how you have transition from all kind ofdifferent genres and ended up here. You have definetly made a long term fan!
p.s One small mistake, at some point you state that insect is the first one to ever do an "insect" but even though he was the first one to do it on a proffesional stage, it was getting popular already on its own in korean soloQ in that time. Nevertheless an amazing video!!
where can i donate money ? These takes a lotof effort to do, i want to support you a little.
What do you mean??? IG and KT weren't the two favourites. RNG and KT were the favourites to win worlds 2018. The only problem was that G2 beat RNG, so that is when IG and KT became favourites
The only team I can think of nearing a a story like this is Team Liquid of CS:GO, choking painfully hard at quarters, failing at semi's, and not even making it to quarters losing easy games.
Honestly such an underated channel man such high quality videos you deserve so much more recognicition!
I absolutely love documentaries. A nice bit of take out and a good documentary is my idea of a Saturday night well spent. Ever since finding your channel, I have been amazed at the content and quality of what you put out. More than anything, it's the balance of relevant information that allows us to draw our own conclusions that work in tandem with your personal views. Understandably, it's near impossible to eliminate the narrator's/director's/writer's own personal bias, but you do a damn fine job of being both impartial but also passionate in your videos. I thoroughly look forward to seeing more from your channel. Keep up the phenomenal work good sir (Y)
Im a simple man. I see a Gbay video and I click and like. Then complain i dont get to do it more often. Good stuff.
I fucking love the Korean shoutcasters, so much passion and excitement
