The Story of HuangFeng is one of the most intriguing stories in League of Legends Esports history. lolesports has plenty of different player stories throughout its history but perhaps no one has had to overcome more adversity than huanfeng. The LPL is one of the lesser known regions when it comes to western viewing in spite of all of the talent that they send to worlds every year. But one player had way more to play for than anyone else at Worlds 2020 on Suning.

Thank you so much for giving credit, and even more so for making this video! The different clips paired with the quotes and (especially) your narration really drove the story home.
I hope we get to see Huanfeng go far, whether it be at Worlds, the LPL, or just his life in general ❤️
iCrystalization would love to thank you for always translating lpl content! I enjoy the little tidbits of player interactions you share with the community on twitter!
Thank you! This was such an inspiring story ❤️
MrThisissonotfunny AW thank you!! It’s my pleasure, really! Thank you so much for taking your time to read them
+++ wishing on my stars for him!
I have to thank you for translating aswell, I am learning mandarin and often use them to try to practice some of my translating, even though I don't at all know enough characters to read anything in chinese yet hehe.
His story is literally the Hero's journey. Absolutely incredible.
@Barely It's Justin Y, his TH-cam viewing mechanics are off the scale, he watches videos at 3x speed with perfect comprehension.
Wait Justin plays league? Pog
@Barely Gbay literally said that this story has been published as an article and translated multiple times at the start of the video. This isn't the first time this story has been public.
Justin Y. plays League of Legends?
Haven't seen Justin Y in a long time
Funny how jdg rejected him and he now kicks their ass at worlds
that s kind of the most classic story that people like to see
Kicks their ass for money lol
Huangfeng’s style is radical, jdg has always been a stable team, and sn is more suitable for huangfeng.
tbf if i heard it correctly he underperformed while having the tryouts, no?
The most funny part is how Ig club manager traded him to Suning. That manager, named Su, Xiaoluo, now is the "GOD" of LPL. All four teams in S10 from LPL are benefited by Su, Xiaoluo.
Who's here after huanfeng actually gets a chance to win worlds this year
Yo who would've thought
I want SN to win so bad
Even better, who's here after using this video as a reason to have Suning win matches in their Pick 'Ems?
i'm here after suning beat top, but i've been following suning since the 2020 lpl summer playoffs
Here i am. Really want huanfeng to win worlds this year.
I wanted to release this while Suning was guaranteed to still have games left to play at Worlds so this documentary was a little rushed. But I hope you guys enjoyed it nonetheless :)
Never apologize for your work when you present it. It leads people to see flaws they would never see otherwise. This was an excellent story, with very classy source crediting at the start.
Gbay: *releases a documentary that had me tearing up at one point
Also Gbay: a little rushed
Couldn't really tell it was rushed. Very enjoyable.
dope stuff mister G Bay
Dude, u've grown a lot from a feeding Irelia player too Goldbay99 xD Love your documentaries, they're the best!
Who doesn't want a friend like Leyan?? He is a real one.
why?
@@lwx3655 you dumb?
@Andy Zhi What? He legit helped HeungFeng almost every step of the way.
@Andy Zhi Explain yourself, by this video we only get that thanks to him he got into two teams and thanks to that jump o the LPL, outside of that, yeah, could be horrible, it is? Tell us.
Casual League apparently Leyan had someone help him out big time when he was broken and team-less as well, and that guy is a streamer on Huya called Baozi. Baozi ordered him food, let him spend New Years at his place and allegedly helped him get into IGy(not sure about this part). But after Leyan became successful, Huya set up a streaming session starring the both of them like the old times, and Leyan barely spoke to Baozi, and was obviously not interested in the stream. When someone asked him who is Baozi, he said “oh he’s a streamer who plays Zed,” which is a stark contrast to the old days when he was very respectful and looked up to Baozi and called him “Bao Ge” (big brother Bao).
When I read the original story, I came out realizing there was no way I couldn't be a fan of this incredible kid and his success story.
grats on the win vs jdg : )
JDG not seeing Huanfeng's Potential was the biggest lost for them.
Our guy Gbay99 here gave Huanfeng a protagonist flashback buff so yeah gg JDG
Guess that’s why he worked even harder to guarantee a win in quarters. So he can win against the team that rejected him
bot lane in pro LOL is hard. AD carry need good SP (bang vs wolf,... for ex) , . this case is extremely hard, Huanfeng was abandoned son, he has problem in comunicate. luckily Swordart is the great SP and he got great teamnate. Huanfeng got some problem in spring season 2020 and ealy summer 2020 but his team mate trust him.
meanwhile ig who give up jkl and huangfeng: what ya say?
True
Me, a western TSM fan: NA WOOOO WE GOT THIS
*Gbay posting an inspirational story about a chinese player*
Me again: SUNING WOOOOOO WE GOT THIS LET'S GO
do you even have a brain ? tsm is scum org
Yeah TL was probably our best bet but they got eliminated :( oh well lol
I already rooted for Suning ;) (Because of SofM though, but I adore HuanFeng a lot)
@@StoneDeceiver True, I can't speak for others, but I only support the players.
@@mhwt565 whoopsie, sorry NA PepeLaugh
Who's here after Huanfeng's phenomenal Jhin performance in quarterfinals vs JDG?
Meeee
Me :)
Count me in 👍
me
Honestly he has the chance to win Worlds with Suning. Great potential too
SwordArt: Defeated his old teammate Karsa, and moving forward with the dream that they shared.
SofM: Carrying the hope of all Vietnamese league region.
HuanFeng: Climbing up from the bottom to the top of the world.
I really hope Suning wins, that’s gonna be such a legend.
With this their plot armor is very strong.
Angel: Never played in front of the audience since his career started two years ago. The first time he gonna play in front of actual people is this worlds finals.
@@WalterGao Apologies that I don't know about Angel so much. Thx for the informatmion.
@@WalterGao bin too, and also Angel was born with a silver spoon, but he still decided go pro which against his parents' will, this team's story is just amazing.
Well their plot armor wasn't strong enough I guess.
*He is not the 2nd Jackeylove, he is the first Huanfeng
Damn yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaa
this is it. after seeing what suning did in worlds this year i became a fan of all of them. i really hope they can overcome the struggle of the loss and become even better, they deserve that cup.
jkl is like a criminal and completely destroyed by ads from fly, fnc, sn, who, separately saying, is weak, afraid of uzi, and junior to him.
@@xiaochenbei4833 agreed. he is very good mechanically but still have a lot to learn from life, he still young tho
You see how jackeylove plays? Wouldnt want to be called an extension of him lmao
Up next: from Rags to Riches, a Story of huanfeng by the score esports.
LOL as he was giving credit to everyone in the beginning I was thinking "This is the opposite of what the score esports thieves do"
It would be much better if he wins worlds
god no i actually want suning to win
@@takeit1229 Lol. But you can't deny that their production quality is great.
lmao i hope not. Can't beat gbay's touch
Bro his story literally sounds like an anime. It’s fucking unreal how stories like these aren’t highlighted and told through professional documentaries from riot. Well anyways, thank you gbay for telling his story because now I’m rooting for him at worlds ❤️
you know there is an anime about e-sports though that story is i think more closely related to that of xpeke (even though it's not a real 1-1 comparison i'm just talking about the 1st season of the anime and the movie) just as an fyi the anime is also produced by tencent and is called the kings avatar
@@LIAuNXeNON It's got nothing to do with Xpeke, what are you talking about?
@@Zightz I didn't say it has anything to do with him I said that the animes storie follows more of the Journey of xpeke closer then the person the video disvussed
honestly, if we had more biographies of the players - especially new ones - the fanbase might be less toxic. getting to know the pros as human beings also enhances the connection between fans and pros, deepening the bonds within esports fandom/community and spurring further growth in the future.
not really though, children going through hard life do not afford to play video games, or perhaps never even get the chance to learn what a video game is, or perhaps don't even know what internet is actually. He had a very decent life in a society that helped him a bit also despite his family left him alone. But even when you are abandoned, if all he did was to play video games means that he was not really abandoned in the sense of what this word actually means.
i watched one of his interview, i was shocked on this kid. He is young but has really rich life experience knowing what is right, what is wrong. For example, the interview asked everyone, after worlds, what you want to do? people were like, have holiday, travel, rest etc. he was like, I want to have a chance to take some school, learn some knowledge. I think he grew up with strong sense of insecure, which made him always working hard, and only that makes him feeling secured.
whos here after HuanFeng hard carried Suning vs JDG
together with bin and sofm all three are such good players but whole team performed so damn good, look at sword arts aggressiveness and angels zoe im shivering xD
@@bamusalako yeah I seen this video whenever it came out and started paying attention to haunfeng and then he really performed today
@@bamusalako yea i rlly hope the finals is between suning and dwg
That curtain call.... FROM THE BASE
As someone new to League, stories like this inspire me to win my first game one day...
lmfao
noob
Duo with me, I’ll get you a win :D
Quit league bro before its too late. You need to be saved
Quit the game right now if you know what's good for you.
The player who climbed from rags to bitches.
funfact: he worked while in suning from 11am to 5am yet still managed to have those side chicks
Who's here after Huenfeng destroyed JDG with his flanking Jhin
Imagine being shoot from your own house xd
He had absolutely one of the nuttiest hard carry performances in that series that I've ever seen!
me i could see he was hungry for glory like doinb

That was an incredible play
Who's here after Huanfeng bot gapped Loken every single game.
damn u so fast bro. Btw his Jhin ult in enemy base was insane
@@d.manhphan4444 That was ART
Best Jhin I've seen, can see a few bans coming for him.
Yes
I am after Huanfeng's legendary Jhin play
You wanna bet if he wins at Worlds his parents will miraculously show up asking for money?
Yup
sad
Money's been the problem they left in the first place, believe me it isn't toxic- it's poverty. He'd know.
7000rp
@@alcejaylos.4257 So it's okay to abandon your child simply because of money problems? Id be fine if they actually got him with someone who could take care of him but they just left him.
Please please do another one on Bin. Same drive and talent, different story. Bin had everyone around him supporting his dream. Teacher telling his parent to let him skip part of school to get home practice; parents buying him a computer so he can play at home; his dad also plays the game and will call Bin to play for him if he is too far behind in a Bronze game......
I sent this to Riot. reported for boosting his father.
the true successor of Uzi, this kid is gonna go places
he is my age, and to hear that he struggled so much when i had everything i could ask for... i'm happy life is finally smiling to him
great video Gbay!
i dont think hes the one as long JKL is in the LPL
While I love Huanfeng and is rooting for him at worlds, he's simply not on the same talent level as Uzi. It's clear he got to where he is through a lot of grit, perseverance, and hard work. Uzi was just a force of nature.
In the current LPL the only ADC that can potentially carry on the torch from Uzi is JKL.
However, I do believe that Huanfeng still has a very high ceiling, and will likely have a great career, just not as a generational talent like Uzi.
@@drsatisfaction after his masterpiece performance against JDG, seems like a generational talent to me lol. And stop overrating JackeyLove. He's great but it's just too early for him. Get him to the conversation with Uzi once they win the whole tournament, because right now, I'll be favoring Suning if TES get past Fnatic.
@@vicnovicio JKL did win world championship in 2018 so he is not overrated mate. But i will admit that Jhin play is insane.
@@henrynguyen2793 like i said, he's a great player. But I don't think he's on Uzi's level yet like many fans claim. And IG's championship run is all about TheShy and Rookie, then Ning taking over at finals. I gotta admit though that JackeyLove is looking a lot stronger now than he was with IG. But I'm still not convinced :) I need SN vs TES first lol
Who's here after Suning locks their spot in the world finals next week? Hope they win 🥺🥺🥺. Cheering for Huanfeng and his team all the way
i hope he can win
Wasn't his moment, but now he got a taste. He needs a confidence boost, he's probably the only member in Suning to not do flashy play throughout the 4 games.
omg thank you for sharing his story, ive supported him since his start in lpl and watching him grow to where he is now was and it still is one of the best journeys ive had in esports so far. thank you so much for this
guess I'll be rooting for sunning to make it out of the group tomorrow
Yup, same.
TSM isn't doing you any good huh
@@TheGladiatorsTv I root for all NA teams when it comes to international.
@@Shawn17WiFi NA team would never win
They made it as 1st seed from the group.
I wonder if his mother will one day find her son's name on this year's Worlds, and what her reaction would be. For that matter, I wonder what his father feels about this, since he was the one to give HuanFeng the last small push to go pro. Not my business as that would be highly personal, but I wonder...
I want to see his father's reaction more. he must be so proud of his son.
Just a side point. The LDL is such a great asset for Chinese LoL. They have SO many great players funneling into the academy structure every year. LPL teams are spoiled for choice with the amount of young hungry players in their lower leagues. Europe is starting to utilize their regional leagues to great effect in recent years but that presence is absolutely nonexistent in North America.
Yea because nobody's hungry in this country. They love all the free tax dollars lol.
Jkli li Dude you just proved his point how underdeveloped na is in the young players development
Jkli li white culture is interesting
It has to do with the low playerbase in NA. However this is not an excuse, they should be able to do waaaaay more with the upcoming talent with the amount of money that goes round in LCS. It sucks that this has been the problem for such a long time now
@@Yourpricecars NA money go into import, not young talent lol
No matter how much people blame Riot and their game all the time, you absolutely cannot underestimate the impact it has had on someone like Huanfeng among many other people around the globe.
With his grades he could have been great doctor
“Your story has an end, but my esports story will only end when I become top player in the world”, it’s come real with Jhin’s Huanfeng ulti in the base enemy today :-)
The story to be continue....
Good luck!
Man hearing that his parents asked those shitty questions when he was so young reminds me wayy to much of what I grew up with, I’m blessed to never have been full on abandoned but I relate way to much to him and how alone you feel with parents that don’t feel anything for you. I feel like he’s the Chinese version of me I want to meet this guy. I hope that I can go pro like him and I’m still young and full of energy.
Go go young man. Wish you can succeed someday.
This is recommended to me after SN-JDG match for a good reason
ah yes, this aged well:D
im two days older than this kid and im stuck bronze, sheit
LOL bronze
My highest achievement was hitting Diamond 2 @15
Wait wtf me too
Actually 2 days younger
3 months older and stuck in gold qq
shout out to Leyan and Guokui everyone needs people like them
SwordArt is known as the "mom" on the team for Suning, always caring for the players and brightening up the mood when things get hard. I think he makes the perfect pair with Huanfeng
The end literally made me burst out in tears
Gbay, your documentaries are amazing. Playing league doesnt feel exciting atm personally, but watching the competitive scene was always brought my friends/brothers (we all play league) together. I appreciate the amount of effort you put into these, because every esports player has a story of how they got there.
i cried. huanfeng you are an inspiration - your drive is incredible.
WOW. now im sitting here drinking my coffee and crying like a little baby while watching this. He is by far the most talented player on worlds 2020. i've never heard about this story but im glad u told us. thx for that. gl in life hunafeng. u deserve everything good.
WHOS HERE AFTER HE GOT INTO THE GRAND FINAL!
yup
I loved this so much. SwordArt is soooo underappreciated and I love him. Thank you for making this
Now that I got to the end I understand this and I agree. SwordArt obviously helped him get to the LPL level by giving him a path and improved his game to where it is now.
Wonder what he can do for Lost. This will be lit
@@datscrazy4095 hella excited
This makes me support Suning for worlds, damn nice story Gbay ;D
Jhin, *red team's base.*smiling.
😂nice baby
I remember I started watching Gbay, when I was just starting to get into LoL, and wanted to learn more about the game. Its amazing to see how far your content has come. I hope you continue to grow and thanks for all the quality content.
Huanfeng makes me want to actually be better at lol, even though I never even heard of him before 2020 Worlds...
you could start to watch LPL bro...
wow, every time u feel like "oh finally we are reaching the good part" he had another unfortunate situation, such a touching story. great documentary gbay, my personal favorite. I guess I'm gonna root for sunning in worlds now.
I cried, this is really emotional. I hope he is already proud of himself with everything he has accomplished being this young... and all the hardships he endured. I wish a bright future for you!!!
Did you see Huangfeng's flanking Jhin ult from inside JDG's base?! That was incredible!!
Ya know what, being a big G2 fan, I saw him as the opponent. But now I see him as someone with something to prove. Nothing but respect now, and he's got my support for winning it all.
Thank you so much for taking his story to the world ! I am a Chinese LPL fans, happy to see foreign friends to tell our stories! Thanks!
And now He's worlds' 2020 finalist. Goodluck to you Huanfeng!!! 💪
How do you go from one of the most beloved pro players in the world to probably the most despised one.
And now hes a finalist
His story is like a movie
Whether he wins or lose this Saturday, his story will remain as one of the most inspirational
I’m a simple being: I see a gbay documentary, I watch, like, and comment to support the release of more high quality long form content
dude went from anime protagonist to hentai protagonist
Review this video and cried again. Now huanfeng really goes to final
Not sure how ppl feel about the title of the article but it’s such a beautiful and lonely scene that I could picture immediately and feel the mood myself. Their worlds performance is my favorite so far and I can’t help recalling this story over and over. Wish they could go as far as possible
*_HuanFeng's Jhin in JDG's inhibitor turret._*
_"Finally a worthy performance."_
Loved this one Gbay, keep your head held high and be proud of your work!
I appreciate you so much Gbay
Riot, make a esport series or anime out of this. this story deserves this and hella i would watch every episode of that!
Been waiting for this, most people who haven't watched LPL don't know about his backstory, now he can get some more publicity (actually idk if its good or bad, some people dont like publicity)
I think is a good thing, his story attracted alot of fans rooting for him, even western fans, this will make his brand huge and hopefully he will land a contract that will set him for life because he deserves it
Honestly this is so motivational, just what I need! I'm here complaining on being stuck in Platinum with big lose streak while HuanFeng went through a lot to become one of the best. Thank you Gbay! I feel like I want to support Suning now!
So, great friend Leyan.
I'm a brazilian LoL fan and love to watch your videos. For me, the whole point in following LoL pro scene is what you give to us: watch how players and orgs grow across time, to be able to watch their history been made. This is what push me forward to create content and tell these magnificent stories of hard work and dedication. Thanks for the amazing content and your incredible work
Some friends of mine don't speak english and i'd like to make brazilian portuguese subtitles for this video, to share this amazing road with them. There isn't this kind of content in our languange and i think it'd be awesome to spread them on my country. If you want, i can make english subs as well (just the transcription, i know hahaha)
Looking forward to your answer - if I receive one hahaha
Thanks 4 ur attention
Thats great!
Hope he sees this
This is going to be so good, just watched the first 3 minutes, and it's already heartbreaking but also inspiring, knowing how far he's come since then.
"Have the team play around me, I'll be the carry" especially true after that quarterfinals game
And here we are now watching HuanFeng on his way to make an anime protagonist run in world finals. thanks to this, I'm fine with either team winning as long as they give us a game 5 banger
HUAN FENG TAKE MY ENERGY
just watched the man flanking and ulting from the enemy base to t1 turret. he really deserves everything
I read the article in Chinese. Happily to watch the same story in English documentary. Thank you.
This is both heartbreaking and so absolutely bloody amazing. What an immense story..... wow.
I can't imagine having this much perseverance. It really shows how much he deserves his spot in Pro League history.
JDG rejected him and he kicked them out of worlds in style
I'm here again after his Jhin performance at worlds!
As a kid growing up in Guangxi, I still remember I was having tons of fun playing at the beach in Dongxing on a family trip
He wont be jackylove, he is HuanFeng! Best series ever worlds 2020 Sunning vs JDG
Knowing this encouraging story and how this guy persevered and fought despite having everything against him until he reached this instance... I will root for him and I will always praise for his best in whatever he does in life, in e-sports or in anything else. Only those people who does not give up despite having the entire world against deserve the best life has to offer.
Wow. This is really good stuff. Never thought i'd get huanfeng's story from an english source.
Mad props to these young men as they follow their dreams. After seeing this doc I think I could be happy seeing a team like Suning going far this year even tho I usually only care about the NA teams...
I'm not crying....you're crying (great documentary as usual gbay, amazing and inspiring story)
This video deserves so much more attention. Amazing job as always Gbay!!!
And SN-Bin’s story are so different，he started play LOL with his father...
I delayed watching this video because I knew I would cry so much, and I am glad I watched it now just as Huanfeng and Suning qualified for Worlds 2020 Finals. People like him make me very happy and grateful I get to watch competitive League of Legends, he is a true hero and an inspiration. I wish him all the success and happiness in the world!
And here he is, at the grand final of worlds 2020
I was rooting for him after this video
Saw a Suning interview the other day and I swear to you despite what HuanFeng had gone through he is amazingly wholesome
Just saying, 'won' is a Korean currency, it's actually 'yuan'.
I don't think he was calling it '200won', it was his accent. He's not a Chinese speaker so it's very likely he pronounced 'yuan' like most Americans do, sounded like 'juan' (think Spanish)
@@rennardish nah more like yoo-an
@@virusj216 Nah more like Woo-han
or just say RMB, the offical name for the Chinese currency.
@@combo9571 I know a similar one "do you know the difference between USA and USD? It doesn't have 'Aids'."
wow.
im speechless, huanfeng is such an amazing person.
i see that some of the pro players have the hardest stories, but the stories that gives satisfaction to everyone else, to see how much they've accomplished.
well done my boy.
Being from NA I was rooting for Liquid to make it out of Group A this year, and was disappointed when Suning managed to win and knock them out. After listening to this young man's story though I couldn't care less about any other team this year and I'm wholeheartedly rooting for this team to really make a run for it and win 2020 Worlds. Still a long road ahead of them but after securing first seed in their group I believe they can do it, and it'll be fun to root for him from an ocean away! ❤️
Now he has many girlfriends
海鞭少年哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
i read this story, beautiful. I love that league can change people's lifes, its so touching
This left me teary eyed and I'm not even done watching.
I like how that dude's Twitter has a 3 year gap in posting and his pinned tweet is DL going "we will win" while going 0-6.
Hope to see you in the final!goodluck!
SEA KING harem god
I have but respect and admiration for him.
Also, one of the most visible points of change were from "He's shy" to telling the coach "Have the team play around me, I'll carry"
When the shy guy on the team starts calling shots, you know it's getting serious!
This is such a beautiful story, he has a new fan.
I don't even play League anymore let alone follow the pro scene but I never miss a Gbay video, I absolutely love all the stories you choose to tell and how you go about it, this is a really nice one.
Suning gave it their all at worlds and some may even say they're happy to see at least one win from them. All in all, it was a good show for the crowd and DWG certainly deserves the win. GGWP.
