I'll remember this World Championship forever. DRX vs. T1, GenG vs. DK, and DRX vs. EDG are some of the best series in Worlds history. Seeing Deft finally lift the Summoner's Cup is a dream come true. He is the GOAT adc.
@@BrototalNW That's cope because Deft's percentage of his jungle and team hovering him is the lowest consistently across all teams. Uzi made everyone play for him and he didn't carry as hard as deft at the LOWEST investment possible.
The best Worlds ever. Stories after stories and the best stories of all actually take it home! I've never been this emotional in my last few years of watching Worlds. They can easily make a documentary of Deft's whole career leading to his first Summoner's Cup!

This Worlds has defined itself from past worlds with the matches. I know Korea had like the majority of the slots going in but they honestly deserved it and watching DRX claw their way to victory was so memorable. I am still watching vids like this one because of the lasting impressions it had.
This was the best worlds finals ever. It had everything, so many hype moments. I wish I could watch it for the first time again. Great performance from both teams and congratulations to DRX for a well diserved World Champion title.
@@crownoscompilations same, I've been watching faker for 9 years and I almost cried watching them lose game 5, the baron steals made my heart rate explode
DRX won worlds in the most unexpected way possible. I also had zero expectations from them, considering they were just a mid tier LCK team, and I thought they would never make it past QFs. I think the team also had low expectations winning it all. Just amazing.
oh man, whoever did the editing for this video really captured the energy felt by all players, casters, and viewers. Really got my heart racing again just watching this and remembering all the emotions, upsets and steals that happened
I think 2019 Worlds also has a case for Best Worlds if only the Final wasn't so bad. Both metas were incredibly fun, the storylines were incredible, and the opening ceremony was way better, but this one had a FAR better final
I love how different they formated this worlds memories & moments videos. There was so much more storyline and narrative and so they catered the video to show that. Seeing Deft cry and his birthday cake into seeing all the buildup to what an amazing finals it was. Amazing video
Main reason for that is that there was so much more storyline and narrative this year than previous ones. This was by far the best worlds we've ever had, due to some of the best BO5's of all time, but also partly due to the amazing story lines.
The last few minutes of this video absolutely encapsulated what's special about this Worlds. It made me tear up. The intensity of emotions of both teams in the Finals, their dedication, their unwavering spirit to win it all, what a moment to witness. And the series before the Finals delivered that same intensity, too. Truly magical.
I got to see this finals live in a movie theater, it was an amazing night. I'll never forget the finals, best esports I've ever seen. Brought a tear to my eye remembering seeing the DRX boys running down mid to end the game.
As 6th in LCK, they almost never made it to regional Qualifiers because of KDF (they are tied in spring + summer points) but KDF placed 7th. In Regional Qualifiers, they were against KT (who they never won against in summer) but in quarters they won with a 3-2 match score. The game ended with a trade for a dragon to nexus lol. Just a day after, they had to beat LSB who looked way stronger than them. LSB were poised to win. But again, they won with a 3-2 match score. Its worlds, they are starting from play-ins. Deft said the highest achievement they can reach is probably quarters. In Playins, they went undefeated beating RNG in the process. In groups, they were against RGE and TES, people were writing them off as they are only LCK's 4th seed. Again, they proved them wrong by getting first. In quarterfinals, no one expected them to be EDG. Some even said that EDG had the easiest team. But against all odds, they won by reverse sweeping EDG. In semis, GenG is there, the LCK Summer Champions. They never took a game off them in 2022. They were 0-8 against GenG. But after game 1, they broke the curse by beating GenG 3 times in a row and punching their ticket to finals. Finals. They were against T1 who just had a dominating win against LPL's first seed, JDG. Many are expecting t1 to 3-0 DRX. But against all that, they WON. They won it all. Beating faker. Beating t1. Apart from this amazing run, Deft's story added some flavor to it. Deft had to beat KT, his former team and his former teammate and bestfriend, Rascal. In quarters, he had to beat EDG with Scout and Meiko, his old team. In semis, he had to beat Chovy and Doran who were his friends from 2020DRX. In finals, theres Keria. A kid who was a trainee in DRX for years. The kid who treated deft like an older brother. The kid who promised deft that he will give him a worlds title. Theres also faker, the kid from his former school who reached higher heights than him. More facts: - Also in 2020, deft had a back injury thats why keria was so desperate to give him a title. - Keria can be seen in the crowd in almost every DRX games to support Deft. starting from regional qualifies. - in LCK SUMMER 2021, DRX placed last place with a score of 2-16. - Kingen was the one who invited Zeka to play with him in DRX. They said they are just playing for fun since the team was previously 2-16 theyre not expecting much. - in their comms, you can always hear them say, "doesnt matter we win or lose, lets just have fun" this may be the mental that won them the whole tournament. - Beryl contributed alot behind the scenes. Hes the one helping with their gameplan strategies. - Beryl doesnt play Solo Q Sorry for my english, its not my first language :)
Deft's story cannot be made into a movie. Because if it was, people would be saying it's too contrived and too perfect to be true. His "rivalry" with Faker who he went to the SAME FREAKING HIGH SCHOOL with, all the former teammates he had to face on his 2022 run, Meiko, Chovy, but especially HIS BOY KERIA WHO NOW PLAYS WITH FAKER. It's just so perfect.
Since seeing the voicecomms from DRX, Beryl was for sure the MVP for me. His absolute unwavering confidence in his shotcalling won them the championship.
Ikr. Even the finals moments, pyosik was like "after inhib, imma pull out" and beryl just goes "no, we push". That was the call before they went on to win worlds. These calls happened so many times throughout the tournament. "Lets go baron" "no, we end it now" and they win (forgot against who).
A lot of people had issues with the world's anthem then year, but I think it perfectly encapsulates what DRX went through and did to obtain this championship. How many times could they have thrown in the towel and said it was over but came back? Their mental fortitude was above and beyond anything we have seen in the history of League of Legends. And then I am reminded of the line 'Why worship legends when you know that you can join them.' And I think that perfectly reflects what Deft has gone through. He was always compared and contrasted to his fellow school mate, the worshipped legend, the unkillable demon king, Faker, and yet on this day their was no bowing to royalty by Deft he stood tall and cast down the demon and inherited his thrown; now a legend by his own accord.
They teach me how to be brave and keep going no matter how many times i failed in the past. Even now this is still the best Final to me. I love Faker and Deft, they have their own story and both of them are so reliable to us.
As much as how happy I am for Deft getting his first trophy, really sad for T1 as they performed their hearts out. They've been consistently at the top all through-out the year and mostly placed second in knockouts. It's a tough mental state to carry of being ridden with having to amp up your performance from failing, and only almost getting the seeds of your hardwork. This really is the best worlds we had so far in my 9 years of watching lol esports. Congrats to DRX!
I am very sad as T1 fan that we lost all the finals this year. I have rooted for both of the teams since begining of the worlds and seeing them both in finals was really hard. I just wanna say congrats both of the teams and I think Deft trully deserved it ! See you next year
I was kind of sad for T1 as well but at the same time I’m glad Deft got his trophy finally. Most of the T1 players still have many more years in which they can make it back and try again, but Deft was almost out of time
Its kinda every team won lul, t1 won spring, geng won summer, drx won worlds but t1 made it into the finals of every tournament this year. Quite unlucky for them since the pressure of winning on them was really high while drx had nothing to lose . Msi and Worlds final loss were majorly bcs of they got draft gapped in game 5. Hoping Bengi will learnt to be more strict as Kkoma was
Just when I thought last year's storyline couldn't be beat, 2022 gives us the most novella-esque sequence I've ever seen in competitive gaming. Our fandom probably sounds like a broken record at this point. Every year we say it's the best Worlds ever, every year we gush about how great everything is. That's because it's all true, it just seems like lol's competitive scene just gets more and more vibrant as the years go on.
Its such a legendary story of DRX winning worlds. They were 6th in lck and got worlds ticket as 4th seed. Beat depending worlds champion, EDG, and GenG who were champinlon in their region and finally T1, the most iconic team in lol history. DRX always lose game against T1 so worlds final was their first time beating T1. Just epic
This will always be my favourite year of Worlds. DRX are such a beautiful team. I hope to god they stay together for next year. No other team will ever have the run they managed to pull off this year. Truly incredible!!
Is really surreal because DRX's run seemed so impossible at first but after seeing how they played from play ins to finals, that team was just stacked. So massively underestimated.
I'm a T1 fan since 2013 and also for Deft since EDG 2015. I cried watching Keria cry and I'm also happy for DRX. This worlds is The best for me. Heartbreaking and also Heartwarming. Congratulations DRX
The final minutes of the video gave me literal chills. What an awesome combination of the background music, of the emotional bursts, of the caster's voice... Everything is in perfect harmony.
I'm hoping Gbay99 makes a documentary on this run. He does great work. I highly recommend "The Greatest Upset in League of Legends History". It's the story of the Taipei Assassin's worlds run.
Don't forget the analyst and fan predictions guys. DRX at playins were given a 50% chance to escape, in groups 60% said they would not get out. In quarters 70% said they would not get out. In Semis 80% said they would not get out. and finally at the Finals 90% said they would not win it all. Banger video above tho!! Great portrayal :))))
Самый эмоциональный финал из всех!! Очень рад за дефта,ставил на них и против ГГ и против Т1 чисто на интузиазме и топил как мог. Может кому то больно но эмоции зашкаливали,дефт заслужил наконец то свой титул
This world was so full of crazy moments. My favorites in no particular order: - Loud hype - group stage - Jojo banter - group stage - Upset penta and Rhuckz substitute - group stage - Crazy first week for Europe versus asia with 3/0 Rogue and Fanatic beating T1 - group stage - GAM beating TES and khartus bug - group stage - Canyon gapping Peanut so hard - quarters - DRX inhib respawn + reverse sweep + Pyosic hype - quarters - Faker Ryze escape EQEQEEQEQE Ryze mains EQEQEQEQ rejoyce - semis - Zeka kinda lowkey gapping Chovy frfr no cap - semis - CRAZY 5 game finals with lots of swings, literal rollercoaster - finals
This Worlds was something else. Even teams that fell on the way should also be very proud of themselves. Fantastic performances. But DRX, that was sensacional! GG WP kings. Also, to all production of Worlds 2022, congratulations. Well done, and see you next year!
This is my first world final. Watching Deft and Faker for the first time, DRX and T1 compete. Everything is amazing. It's past the world final but I can't stop watching videos about it
Deft is the Goat ADC Well deserved Championship King 👑 He finally Cemented himself as the Goat *Alpaca* ADC. LCK TITLE ✅ LPL TITLE ✅ 2000 LCK KILLS ✅ 1500 LPL KILLS ✅ MSI TITLE ✅ WORLDS TITLE ✅
I've watched this more than 30 times I think and I always manage to shed a couple of tears every time. It's so inspirational and makes me not wanna give up on what I want to do.
After years where worlds felt pointless there is a story to be told. No western team makes it, but an underdog faces champions to make history. No doubt this has been not only our best finals but the best tourney internationally since 2013. Since covid we have needed something like this to bring people together. What a great show from everyone, thank you Riot Games and LoLEsports
@17:26 « winning worlds made me realize it’s not about me playing the best… it’s about my teammates and my team being the best » -Deft, world champion 2022 This resonates with « my 3rd worlds title was for myself; the 4th one is for my team » - Faker, 2023
It's crazy to think that final moment of game 5 could really gone any two ways in an instant and no matter how it ended it would have been not only legendary as a World's winning play but to either be a fairy tale underdog story of one of League's greatest ADC player finally becoming a world champion , or seeing League's undisputed greatest player become the only person to hold 4 world titles with another completely fresh team. Really, it could have gone any way and it would still be an amazing story . I'm happy to be in this timeline where Deft won.

I am very sad as T1 fan that we lost all the finals this year. I have rooted for both of the teams since begining of the worlds and seeing them both in finals was really hard. I just wanna say congrats both of the teams and I think Deft trully deserved it ! See you next year
I was kind of sad for T1 as well but at the same time I’m glad Deft got his trophy finally. Most of the T1 players still have many more years in which they can make it back and try again, but Deft was almost out of time
T1 won spring
@@andyto4911 I know but most important ones we lost
for us t1 fans its hard but we also happy that deft finally win it. and its lck vs lck so we can trash talk lpl
Its kinda every team won lul, t1 won spring, geng won summer, drx won worlds but t1 made it into the finals of every tournament this year. Quite unlucky for them since the pressure of winning on them was really high while drx had nothing to lose . Msi and Worlds final loss were majorly bcs of they got draft gapped in game 5. Hoping Bengi will learnt to be more strict as Kkoma was
This is the most beautiful thing I have watched in a while.
I forgot how emotional 2022 worlds was. The stories, the casters, the teams. It's by far been the best worlds
Deft wins Worlds and Lionel Messi wins World Cup were the two best thing that ever happened in 2022.
Just when I thought last year's storyline couldn't be beat, 2022 gives us the most novella-esque sequence I've ever seen in competitive gaming.
Our fandom probably sounds like a broken record at this point. Every year we say it's the best Worlds ever, every year we gush about how great everything is. That's because it's all true, it just seems like lol's competitive scene just gets more and more vibrant as the years go on.
Its such a legendary story of DRX winning worlds. They were 6th in lck and got worlds ticket as 4th seed. Beat depending worlds champion, EDG, and GenG who were champinlon in their region and finally T1, the most iconic team in lol history. DRX always lose game against T1 so worlds final was their first time beating T1. Just epic
This will always be my favourite year of Worlds. DRX are such a beautiful team. I hope to god they stay together for next year. No other team will ever have the run they managed to pull off this year. Truly incredible!!
I'LL NEVER forget this finals coz its the best and the most wonderful lol matches ive ever watched
Is really surreal because DRX's run seemed so impossible at first but after seeing how they played from play ins to finals, that team was just stacked. So massively underestimated.
The resiliency shown by DRX. They were incredible. Like art. It was beautiful and outrageous
the best final and the best worlds ever, my god, this is incredible
진짜 2년이나 지났지만 아직도 내 삶의 원동력임😢😢
ㄹㅇ
그저 젠첩 ㅋㅋ

One of the best Worlds i've watched. From Playins to the Finals. Excited all the way!!
Definitely best worlds so far
Memorable moments already happened from play in stage. The final is the climax this time.
The beginning of the legend that I thought was the last dance....
deft will retire no?
@@Mondlichtfrosch I think he will play for 1 more year
@@Mondlichtfrosch IIRC he managed to figure stuff out and get 1 more year.
Doesn't he have a military issue?
@@apfneuzc8810 i thought he was exempt over a back injury
Who ever thought league of legends could be such a beautiful game
10:59 _I'm tears up... _*_You deserve the trophy Deft_*
Started from 10:53
I'm a T1 fan since 2013 and also for Deft since EDG 2015. I cried watching Keria cry and I'm also happy for DRX. This worlds is The best for me. Heartbreaking and also Heartwarming. Congratulations DRX
Hands down the best worlds final ever. I'm so happy for DRX. Looking forward to many more epic worlds final in the future
The final minutes of the video gave me literal chills. What an awesome combination of the background music, of the emotional bursts, of the caster's voice... Everything is in perfect harmony.
DRX need to make a documentary of this legendary run 🔥🔥
I'm in!
Drx 유튜브 채널에 다큐 있어요
You can watch all of stories of DRX in 2022 season with 'DRX Adventure'
I'm hoping Gbay99 makes a documentary on this run. He does great work. I highly recommend "The Greatest Upset in League of Legends History". It's the story of the Taipei Assassin's worlds run.
Don't forget the analyst and fan predictions guys. DRX at playins were given a 50% chance to escape, in groups 60% said they would not get out. In quarters 70% said they would not get out. In Semis 80% said they would not get out. and finally at the Finals 90% said they would not win it all.
Banger video above tho!! Great portrayal :))))
I’m gonna rewatch this every now and then until the 2023 worlds.
Then, Ima be disappointed and come back to this *legendary* series again.
와 편집이.. 이거 완전 울음벨이네.. DRX 우승 축하해!!
Fue uno de los mejores mundiales de lol en años, espero que el próximo año sea igual de emocionante y mucho más.
Самый эмоциональный финал из всех!! Очень рад за дефта,ставил на них и против ГГ и против Т1 чисто на интузиазме и топил как мог. Может кому то больно но эмоции зашкаливали,дефт заслужил наконец то свой титул
DRX has written its name in the history of LoL. Astonishing, breathtaking series
6:10 One of the most impressive upsets.
"Don't ever say it's over if I'm breathing"
Now we truly understand the meaning of the song🫡
Any team would tilt with so many steals , in so many games. Still they keep fighting. Big respect, DRX
This world was so full of crazy moments. My favorites in no particular order:
- Loud hype - group stage
- Jojo banter - group stage
- Upset penta and Rhuckz substitute - group stage
- Crazy first week for Europe versus asia with 3/0 Rogue and Fanatic beating T1 - group stage
- GAM beating TES and khartus bug - group stage
- Canyon gapping Peanut so hard - quarters
- DRX inhib respawn + reverse sweep + Pyosic hype - quarters
- Faker Ryze escape EQEQEEQEQE Ryze mains EQEQEQEQ rejoyce - semis
- Zeka kinda lowkey gapping Chovy frfr no cap - semis
- CRAZY 5 game finals with lots of swings, literal rollercoaster - finals
This Worlds was something else.
Even teams that fell on the way should also be very proud of themselves. Fantastic performances.
But DRX, that was sensacional! GG WP kings.
Also, to all production of Worlds 2022, congratulations. Well done, and see you next year!
This is my first world final. Watching Deft and Faker for the first time, DRX and T1 compete. Everything is amazing. It's past the world final but I can't stop watching videos about it
Banger from quarters to finals. Best worlds so far. One for the history books.
It was unbelievable to witness this moment as a fan of DRX...
11:20 I never thought I'd see a birthday celebration on stage at an eSports event. That's awesome. Y'all have a great community here.
The most emotional world championship we've ever had in this decade
Deft is the Goat ADC
Well deserved Championship King 👑
He finally Cemented himself as the Goat *Alpaca* ADC.

I've watched this more than 30 times I think and I always manage to shed a couple of tears every time. It's so inspirational and makes me not wanna give up on what I want to do.
After years where worlds felt pointless there is a story to be told. No western team makes it, but an underdog faces champions to make history. No doubt this has been not only our best finals but the best tourney internationally since 2013. Since covid we have needed something like this to bring people together. What a great show from everyone, thank you Riot Games and LoLEsports
This reminded me how unbelievably strong DRXs mental was throughout worlds
결승전이 진짜 역대 최고였음 긴장감지렸다
@17:26 « winning worlds made me realize it’s not about me playing the best… it’s about my teammates and my team being the best » -Deft, world champion 2022
This resonates with « my 3rd worlds title was for myself; the 4th one is for my team » - Faker, 2023
NOW THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A WORLDS MOMENT AND MEMORIES. MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT FROM LAST YEAR'S!!!!
If this isn't in next year's worlds cinematic imma be pissed
love how DRX was screaming at the top of their lungs and there’s Deft’s lowkey soft “Naisu..!…” That was his reaction winning Worlds 😂
He is just chilling alpaca, always been like this. It is may be good for adc be calm like this c:
The only bad thing about this finals is knowing nothing else in the future can ever live up to this.
I almost cried 😭😭 It was so emotional watching DRX from play-ins to the finals
Playing since Season 2 and these Finals were UNBELIEVABLE, like nothing I've ever seen. Made me remember why I Love this game.
Great stuff!!
“The most important thing is the unbreakable heart.”
BEST WORLDS SO FAR
It's crazy to think that final moment of game 5 could really gone any two ways in an instant and no matter how it ended it would have been not only legendary as a World's winning play but to either be a fairy tale underdog story of one of League's greatest ADC player finally becoming a world champion , or seeing League's undisputed greatest player become the only person to hold 4 world titles with another completely fresh team. Really, it could have gone any way and it would still be an amazing story . I'm happy to be in this timeline where Deft won.
This is mythic. This DRX reaction to winning is the best thing
Best worlds, best team DRX was legend💙
I felt the emotions all over again. Best WORLDS ever
