deft after the game. “for 10 years I have gone to bed every night and dreamed of winning worlds…. I wanted to get the interview after the winning the last game and tell everyone that I am the best player in the world. When I got on stage today, I realized, being the best player didn’t matter at all. All that mattered was being the better team, and today we were the best team in the world.” Fucking. Legendary. Quote.
"I realized being the best player didn’t matter at all. All that mattered was being the better team , and today we were the best team in the world." goes so fucking hard
It's really frustrating as a T1 fan knowing that this quote wouldn't exist if they just banned Aatrox, it's bittersweet honestly, because I know Deft worked hard for the win but got carried so hard by Zeka and Kingen. He deserved it for all the years of hard work, but he also didn't really do much at all this series.
faker didn't show up. what was he thinking playing a no-suprises champ like Viktor? What happened to the zed le-blanc player that dazzled the opponents?
@@user-eh5qr9tj3y Agreed, and I am going to say it clear, Faker lost to Zeka and was a main reason why T1 didn’t win this tournament. T1 bot lane, Keria and Gomayushi are the best bot lane in fhe world hands down and I can truly understand the pain of Keria, he was insane. Oner was amazing as well. Game was lost mid and top with that weird meaningless Gwen pick.
You could see Deft hugging him as well. Pyosik is an emotional guy but I think in that moment he felt a sort of heartbreak knowing his victory came over someone he called a teammate at one point.
Damn the way that dude is shaking after that heartbreaking loss. Major respect to this sport, these guys dump their absolute heart and souls for us! Round of applause to the world champions!
Ker n deft were in the same team, Kerry said he's with deft and will help Deft win the trophy, but then left for t1. th-cam.com/video/2XYLA4zmPqo/w-d-xo.html 10:01
You can steal as many barons you want from them. You can have your inhibitor respawn when your Nexus is being burned to nearly 0 hp by them. You can be up 2-1 or 2-0 against them. It won't matter. Even after 9 years of trying and failure, Deft never broke. Even after half a dozen steals, Pyosik kept trying. Even after a heartbreaking loss at last year's finals, Beryl pushed forward. Even when facing the juggernauts of EDG, GEN and T1, Kingen and Zeka held their ground and proved themselves. DRX's mental fortitude was as unbreakable as the core of a neutron star. Well played, absolute banger of a series.
@@HELLios6 I agree, the comment needs pinned or voted up. I had no real words to say in my comment, but this sums it up. You wont get a better underdog story than this unless NA somehow wins worlds which isn't going to happen anytime soon. The mental mindset of DRX is definitely out of this world. I'm guessing just like the castors, analysts have all said, they are letting the pressure go and just playing for fun and it's working to keep their mental strong.
Came here after the 2023 Worlds anthem. The feelings during these games were so palpable. As always, Riot's animation and music departments hit it out of the park.
Came here after T1 won the rigged Finale, I don't believe they actually won fair, LPL was so strong and after watching these games it just shows that this year the Korean players on the LPL teams simply didn't even try to win and even TheShy, ffs a iron 4 player would have been better top xD
Seeing Kerias reaction is absolutely heartbreaking. The hugs from Deft and Pyosik almost made me tear up myself. What an amazing series, in the end the better team won
@@tbone9474 I can hear myself(If I were Keria's dad) rushing the stage. How dare you exploit my sons heartache in front of the world. Then I can see myself being placed into the back of a cop car, because I exploited the production team. lmao *btw* I am not a parent and still get pissed off really righteously when seeing stuff like that and especially the Pri DEMON th immortality pushed in school/everywhere else. Dads, get pissed the fuck off and stand up for your kids. Don't embarrass yourself by making someone without kids do your job as a parent for you. ///EndRant
@@libertyordeath7006 This is the sacrifice they make to play at the highest level man. There's vods of many legends crying over the years. There's no pride without price, and being top tier at anything that's in the public eye means your emotions are going to be documented. Showing him crying did the job anyway, it gave this worlds that little extra emotional involvement for people that aren't giant T1 fans.
Honestly I was pretty happy whoever won. DRX is the ultimate Cinderella story and seeing faker win again would be great. Honestly, one of the best worlds I’ve seen
Very bittersweet finale, no matter who you supported you've got to give it up for both teams for putting on such an action packed and absolutely spectacular finale. Seeing keria like that stung like hell but seeing deft and pyosik hugging him was very sweet. WP DRX
I've been playing LoL since beta, and been watching lolesports since its first competitive season. This was by far my favorite Worlds of all time. The DRX storyline being matched up against the resurgence of T1 and Faker's dynasty was truly a delight to behold. There have been plenty of amazing series in League history, but the emotions and narratives behind this one were just unparalleled. Now excuse me while I click play and enjoy it for the 11th time.
Glad to see Oner, after the loss, cheering up Keria like "Its ok our carers just began 2 years ago. Future is in front of us. Next year will be ours. Im a T1 fan, but im so happy for all of DRX players, and a very deserved win. Beryl Based locked in Bard for game 5.
@@user-ey9vq1rb2f Who knows, with faker or not. This team is promising, because they are not afraid they can force plays. i still hope for this team. We will see in 2023
we should to start to consider beryl one of the Greatest of all time honestly, 3 world finals in a row, 2 wins, with strong and weak teams alike... build different
it really does suck for keria I love the guy so much and it breaks my heart to see him lose to his friends like that but I hope t1 can actually do something next year and win drx gap was massive and it shows that faker and zeus need to either retire or learn to play smarter because both of top/mid lost lane
The more the tournament went on, the more it felt like a coach diff indeed, such good drafts, especially adaptating during the series, for example banning Yone that last game felt really crucial even though he wasnt part of their usual bans during the series
played t1 in draft? lol t1 played them self banning reneta instead of kingens aatrox and then picking fucking karma insted of cait or azir. I feel like bengi got big paycheck after the game
They defied all odds, literally defied being randomly trolled by inhibitor and getting baron stolen two times. I don't even know how they were able to compose themselves after that.... These players must be stone cold to not let that get to themselves... So impressive
That was one of the best 5 game sets I've EVER seen. What an incredible performance from both teams, on the edge of my seat for the whole run. DRX truly earned that win though staying strong even despite the titans that are T1 keeping them against the ropes over, and over. Plus that 1% pick of bard? Just top notch.
This is the best underdog story ever. Coming from 4th seed into the play-ins, defying every expectation and win it all. It is great to see how after 10 years of struggles deft finally made it. Props for Zeka and Kingen for stepping up, both completely outperform the opposing solo laners. Pyosik honestly played decent, but he does have to work on his smites xd. And for Beryl, he finally gets to go back and play genshin impact lmao. Great performance by DRX and its the best worlds run ever.
@@Sammysapphira yeaaa.. no. DRX defeated the 2021 world champs EDG in quarters, the 2022 Korean Summer Champs GEN.G in Semis and finally the 2022 Korean Spring Champs in T1. All starting from the wildcard stage. No one even expected them to win on Quarters lol
@@ruviclaggui6005 OG in 2018 where predicted to be the worst team in the tornament, came up from open qualifires ( quivalent to play-ins ) they had a roster that was asembaled 1mounth before the tornament and their midlaner was literaly a random guy who never played ranked only normals and never played a profotional game in his life. They also beat all the tornament favorites including LGD twice in semis and finals many of the games they had to come back from massive gold deficits. DRX where nowhere near the worst team coming in this tornament. EDG where not that great and was predicted that the series will go to 5 games which it did, they had TES who also colapsed in groups and GenG where very bad compared to summer because of the meta. How is DRX beating the run from OG in 2018?
No one should be disappointed in how they played in this game. What a treat to watch, everyone played their hearts out and it has made it one of the most entertaining games of league I've ever watched. Congrats to DRX for winning their title, but T1, you guys still played an incredible fucking game of league.
@@YCHTT Im a drx fan I bet on them even though I have higher expectation on T1. This is just the best game out of this Worlds. im glad im still a LoL fan to witness this.
If BeryL was a mid, he would be a fkin legend, but since he's a support no one cares. Like, he has been ruling LoL for 3 years and is less spoke about than Zeka
@@corentinm.105 Zeka is not that good, though he is another Azir player which is a rarity, though really Faker should have taken Azir then game was won, Azir had not lost in the finals up to that point its like no one paid attention to the Azir factor, unless Faker was too tired to pilot the Azir for one more round since playing Azir takes a lot of mechanical skill, that even I feel surprised Faker in his old age can still use that pick
I watched this whole series in theaters with my brother, and I can’t even stress. No other series has had me absolutely hyped or out of my seat since SKT Vs Rox tigers in 2015-16. This whole series. Was nothing but legendary and definitely history being made today! GG DRX!
this is my first Worlds experience and I will never watch another one again because I will always be disappointed by how highly contested this one was. fucking amazing
They did it... They won it all. I rooted for DRX from the beginning, and I can't believe they won it all! This will definitely go down in esports history. The most anime underdog story in human history. So sad for T1 and Keria though. That was absolutely heartbreaking...T1 deserved to win just as much and it leaves such a hole in me knowing Faker was so close, only to lose again. I hope they stay together for next season. Now that DRX and Deft concluded their miracle story, I'm fully rooting for Faker to reclaim his throne
I've been a Deft follower ever since 2014 and it's so amazing to see him grow as a player and realize his dream. And Beryl Bard is the most "checkmate" move I've ever seen in League, period.
2021? Semis and Finals whent to 5 games and it was all very clolse. Yeah we didnt have a strory like DRX but the competitivness was really high in the top end.
Chill :p no need to exaggerate. 'The best' with 7 losses? There were way better teams before and only cuz an underdog won it doesn't mean they are uncatchable.
This has been the perfect run and story for Drx. I was rooting for skt but when they got Cait though draft I was scared. But this was so back and forth. This finals has been perfect
Imagine the amount of pressure DRX would have gone through mentally to get their Barons stolen. Even though the team remained calm, I still was at the edge of my seat thinking if they will lose the final elder dragon because T1's GUMAYUSI was an absolute beast in stealing these objectives but DEFT had laid out the traps and they zoned as much as possible. It was truly one of the most intense game as it could have gone either side. GG to both the teams. Honestly, DRX Absolutely Deserved It
Tbh DRX was quite bad on maintaining mentality after something goes wrong. Take game 1 for example, things were going quite even but as soon as they lost 1 dragon to T1, their whole mental went kaboom and they ran it down giving T1 a easy win. It literally fell apart after 1 dragon was lost. Same thing in this game 5, after an objective is stolen, DRX loses mental and gives up kills for no reason, gets caught all over the map. DRX largely won in draft. T1 had little to no CC and engage.
I come back to this game once every couple of months. Just such an epic series and a game 5 for the ages. The casting was phenomenal. "They have doubted, they have been discounted, they have been dismissed" hits so hard
Was worth it to wake up early and watch all 5 games live, really congratulations to DRX, this is really the underdog story of the century And Deft!!! he finally did it!! Probably my favorite LoL Worlds of all time
This series was absolutely fucking insane, giving 2016 B05 finals a run for its money. I watched this live and the crowd going ballistic and caedrels excitement at 26:05 was something else
Rewatching this again makes you appreciate Beryl's Bard. He's the reason why Faker and Guma didn't have flash and ult (Faker) in the last team fight. His last ult also forced Oner to advance early proc'ing his GA.
I can easily say that this is the best series ive seen since 2016 ROX SKT...What a magnificent final...Its 8 in the morning here and i dont have one single regret about the lost sleep... #GottaLoveThisGame
Holy, what a banger of a series. So much back and forth, unreal mental from DRX coming back from 3 baron steals in one series. Who woulda thought that Kingen of all people on DRX would pull out his inner TheShy and completely gap Zeus in the last 4 games. Not to mention the insane draft adaptation in the final game. WP to both team, such a pleasure to watch.
That's the difference on a experienced player vs the rookie on the stage. Zeus might have been the prodigy throughout their run up to the final, but Kingen shows that he's the more seasoned player literally made the rookie sit down. I rooted for T1 this year, but after DRX insane run, I knew that even when I placed my pickems on T1 that DRX might win anyway.
@@vanquisher4700 t1s draft was interesting. They kept taking away Beryls Ashe and when they left it open game 5 he chooses BARD. They tried so hard to shut out DRX jungle and support when they kept coming up with answers. Idk why they didn't just ban aatrox. Despite the many mistakes from both top laners Kingen definitely came into clutch when they needed it. The deep flanks he had countless times in game 5 that didn't turn into anything serious ("pulling the trigger") gave DRX so much mental support and confidence to position the way they did overall it was insane
@@vanquisher4700 i think you dont' have neurons left lol, T1 had to ban botlane cause deft + beryl rampage over botlane everytime and oner focused topside more often but Kingen is actually skilled so he clapped t1 regardless. if they banned aatrox beryl/deft would play main champs which would also lose them the lane as you can't just ban 1 champion for botlane, you have to ban both or the lane is still even causing your ban to be useless on that 1 champ, regardless t1 got gapped so hard its crazy almost feel bad for em
@@ethantenorio6014 that's delusional, t1 wont even win lck, they won worlds only because they faced only lpl teams, otherwise they'd choke to other korean teams like usual, especially geng, which in 2023 are gonna be even more stronger than lastt years with canyon and kiin
LOL and T1 beat the LPL teams that beat the LCK teams who choked.T1 is the only LCK team in it's history to really be consistent at the world finals lol. You're on copium. T1 will win spring. Gen G is not as good as last year esp without Delight. HLE is actually better. Canyon is washed lol you're still mad T1 won Worlds LOL@@dominiclewis6522
Absolutely proud of DRX. From being a middle of the pack LCK team, then to barely making it to Worlds then finally, winning it all. So happy for Deft, after all these years finally got what he deserved 😁😁
@@aurelianobuendia5360 you can be a fan of other team and proud of the other team success at the same time, what are you on? you are full of hatred lmao.
I wasn't invested in either team for this series, I just wanted to watch some LoL as it's been a while, but this was one incredible fucking series. Going into Game 1, I did not expect to get so emotional from a series involving two teams that I'd never had any real feelings towards but by the end of Game 5, I couldn't look away. It's an incredible experience to see two of the best teams in the entire world face off against each other. After something like this, it's insane that people could continue to ridicule and disregard the esports scene as somehow lesser than "real" sports. This was a real showcase of real talent, and those were some of the most raw and real emotions I've ever seen coming from both teams afterwards. This was as real as it can get and if people can't see that, that's their loss.
3:42 Deft picked Bard and said "해? (Do you want it?)". And then, he locked in Bard, and he said "가자. (Let's go.)" You know, Berly's last Bard pick was in 2020. He has not even picked it in this year. But Deft trusted Beryl and Beryl made a return for it by his play. Wow.
Even though Beryl missed a decent amount of his Q’s and Ults, he gave DRX the space they needed and burned T1’s flashes. 👏 This final game was everything I could’ve asked for, and watching DRX’s rise to worlds was amazing. To see Deft finally get to play against Faker must have been exhilarating for him especially since they went to the same high school and he’s practically been in Faker’s shadow until now. Amazing performance by both teams and it put a smile on my face to see just how happy they were to win.
SO TRUE THO, like as a bard main i really like how he baited most of the T1's summs and positioning and just go out barely alive. What a treat to watch.
man every once in a while i just come back to this and just feel so grateful that i saw this in person. i feel like the crowd mix *really* undersells how loud it was-- when guma stole that second baron the fucking roof blew off the place. sickest live event i've ever seen, and insane crowd. although i was probably half the crowd noise for DRX lmao.
I am sad because the team I wanted to win didn't win. I am happy because the winners definitely earned this crown. Their play as a team was much better in these matches. Must watch.
@@tonyzhang361 You're happy T1 lost because you're an LPL fan and T1 shit on LPL 8-1 this worlds, just admit it already lmao. Trophy is back on Korea and T1 stepped on your whole regions neck.
Through out the whole season, Deft and BeryL has always been the stable duo for DRX to rely on. But at Worlds, Zeka, Pyosik and Kingen start to become more and more reliable, so that they can be the real TEAM. As Zeka and Pyosik has improved a lot, Kingen somehow still being the last piece of the team that haven't shined, but in the Final against T1, Kingen has finally made it, and at that moment, DRX became the strongest team, and they made history. It is sad that all of them can't play as a team anymore, eventhough they agreed the low amount of payment, it is still not enough, thus all of them seperate. The brightest star truly doesn't lasts long.
So glad for DRX and Deft. Congrats to them. DRX has done what some thought was close to impossible. Greatest runs ever! Worlds final and series to be remembered as the greatest!
@Jon Guiriba why is it always about money lol do you think NA players(at least the older ones who put effort) that are rich and endlessly grinded the game to win nothing are happy because they get paid a fuckton? They are not, it's very crushing and no money can fix that And if it can then competing is not your priority
@Jon Guiriba i think this is mostly a cultural thing. Like I am assuming you are a westerner(much like myself) so we think about big championship titles and like "ehh they did well now they can spend their money on the off season" but like its just not like that in the East these guys constantly (aside from beryl cause lol) put in 10-14 hours especially the young guys from scrims to solo q and the like and most of them have been doing that for the last almost year(remember LCK starts in January with a 1-2 month break depending on playoffs). We are talking thousands of hours when all you really give a damn about is the title because money is kinda meh at this point. But to caveat hes on the most decorated teams we have in all of League(pretty much by a mile) so I am sure expectations were high as hell.
There's nothing more great to witness then these moments. Seeing a legend who deserves trophy finally getting it after years of falling just short. I'm so fucking happy for Deft
@Samuel Guite what are you on about? It's mostly top and macro/teamfight/draft gap. DRX was better at all 3. Not sure why faker is to blame when he is put in bad situations constantly. I was rooting for DRX but give some fucking respect you subhuman who lives rent free in the GOAT's head
Im not sure something like this will ever happen again...but destiny and miracle appearently exist. You qualify as 4th seed, you defeat RNG, you reverse sweep an ex world champion, then take out the number one seed, and lose 3 barons in a row but Still you force the greatest team of a competitive scene to kneel in front of you, well that is not luck cause luck can only take you as far as it can, that is a mixture of skill, mentality and destiny, and frankly it had to be this way, to make it the most memorable victory that will ever take place on a worlds stage.
What a great series. Usually game 5 eventually becomes incredibly predictable who will win by some ridiculous margin, but I had no idea who would take it until the very end. This game was so intense!!
best league game i have ever watched even if i had to watch it at 3am where im from i have no regrets and im sure ill still remember this game in 10 years
I'm a T1 fan. If there was ever a team to lose to, this version of DRX is it. So damn impressive how they fought for this win. Ice cold mentals, turning small opportunities into massive spiraling victories. I honestly can't believe how hard Kingen and Zeka snowballed their lanes, but it's really their teamwork that decided these matches. A legendary best of 5, where I had no clue who would win it. DRX is just slightly better than T1 right now. That might very well change as the meta shifts.
What an awesome worlds and finals series! Probably the best one ever. Really wish T1 had banned the Aatrox in game 5, Kingen was going absolutely nuclear with him and carried his team those last 2 games. Congrats to Deft!
What a story from DRX. The greatest run in playoffs I've seen in all my years watching esports. Even surpassing Taipei Assassins who were the real first world champions in my eyes. Let's check out this insane accomplishment. -Beat out LEC #1 seed Rogue and Top Esports in Groups -Took out 2021 defending champs, EDG -Took out HEAVY tournament favorites Gen G -Took out the GOAT and his squad of mechanical prodigies just unbelievable, this stuff only happens in movies. Absolutely tragic for T1.
Saing it like that is good but, GenG wherent that great at the tornament and the meta wasnt for them, also Chovy and Peanut choke at worlds ( it happend here too ), EDG where in terible form coming into worlds adn they didnt improve at worlds, RGE colapsed like every other EU team in weak 2 and in general where never wining a bo5 vs DRX. So yeah based on names they did great but based on form from their oponents it wasnt all that impresive, still great that they did it, they where one of my favorite teams coming out of groups. Also the win oer SKT was 100% legit.
Man this DRX team is something else. Came all the way thru play-ins and single handedly beat 3/4 LPL teams as well as Gen G and T1. They deserve this world championship the most and it’s not even close.
Пришла сюда после Гимна 2023. Это просто потрясающе, как Riot передали все эмоции от игры в клип... Даже характеры игроков в персонажах похожи, просто великолепная работа. А девочки из NewJeans, тут без комментариев) Я в восторге 😍
T1 roster ZOFGK being today the best team in League of Legends history, makes even more this worlds finals more legendary, DRX how did you do to shutdown reigning world champs + korea champs + T1 ZOFGK roster to win it all ???
Honestly. What a series! Personally a T1 fan, but here DRX clearly deserves the win. They've had the edge pretty much in all game but the first. They would have won in 4 if it wasn't for the double Baron steal of game 3, but even then, they still had the wind in their sail. T1 gave too much priority in the picks to bot and kinda seemed to forget all other lanes. I get the karma pick for the line prio, and it worked, but he should ve picked Cait for sure... Also, well, mid and top gap was too big for DRX. Faker failed to deliver, he got constantly caught in all games (I know he's being focused) but he often got picked out of position, which leaded to his flash being constantly down. He tried to make too many offensive flashy plays which unfortunately didn't get much success, but with azir. They should've prioed that pick for him. But zekka played flawlessly, so we have to give him that. And top lane, Zeus losing lane, getting picked last game, even his counterpick to aatrox with Fiora got shit on game 4. He only had a good game with Yone tbh. Aatrox should clearly have been banned last game, as all previous games with aatrox, Zeus failed to match and contain him. Also T1 forced way too many dragons and towers when they didn't need to, just because it was on their agenda, and that back fired quite often. Very good series for the rest of T1, and for DRX, well we can probably say that deft was carried, but that was his role in this series, since there's been so much focus in the picks by T1 bot. So yeah, T1 got out drafted, out played and out macroed... Even with 3 Baron steals they managed to lose the series, not the speak of the dragon steals as well. I also felt like the casters were overwhelmed by the stake of the series, and forgot to actually analyze the games. With all said and done, AWESOME series and run through World's, they much deserve the title.
Your comment should have the most thumbs up. I literally don't have anything to say and still thinking of words for my comment and agree to everything you said. However, Deft actually did well game 5 but was just overshadowed by the obvious top laner that crushed game 4 and 5, but the cait game was lowkey good. He did underperform all other games prior tho, but that is to be expected at this point. I'm happy DRX won, I'm gonna root for SKT next year because you won't really get a much better underdog story than this, last place team, play ins, 10 year history, same high school as faker, and the to beat the GOAT team and GOAT player as underdogs? Makes the story even better and it would be hard to top this. You had it all, baron steals, highlights from every player, comebacks, heartbreak and it just goes on and on.
Even though pyosik did badly for smites his set ups for picks with hecarim is something to behold EVEN though he got railed in the first couple of minutes because hecarim is a weak early game champ he still made some insane set ups. This is just to add coz I agree with your comment
Faker had a couple of good games, unfortunately just not when he wasn't playing Azir. As soon as I saw the Viktor lock-in in G5, I sighed and realized that DRX would win the championship. His Viktor hasn't looked good at all. Zeus, however, was getting outplayed in basically every game. His Yone game was pretty good, though. I think that T1 had worse drafting, overall, than DRX did. I think that Zeus underperformed. I think that Faker underperformed every game he wasn't on Azir. The T1 botlane played very well, even when you don't factor in the multiple objective steals from them. I think that Oner played better than Pyosik, but I also think that he left a lot to be desired even with HIS objective steals.
@@milandjukic4583 We call it "lose at battle but win the war." Beryl is the main player of making a team call. Yeah, he seems bad mechanically (compared to other pro players), seems to die meaninglessly, not overwhelming during lane phase. However, he knows how to win the games. And it makes him come Finals three times in a row as well as have two Worlds Champion titles. He is obviously not my first picked supporter, but we cannot but admit that this dude is one of the top-tier supporter players.
@@milandjukic4583 doesn’t matter how you do over the course of the tournament, it’s about showing up on the day that it matters the most. Faker and Zeus both played like shit, while Beryl and all of DRX showed up to play
@@Kai_soze are u dumb or somthin? If he doesnt play his best at quater and semis there is big chance he wont get to finals. Guy was biggest meme vs geng
It's interesting to see the difference in Draft phase for both teams throughout the series. T1 focuses bans/prio picks on Support/JG for team play DRX focuses bans/prio picks on Mid/Top and then plays around them great match regardless
@@zeroday7878 Yeah, I'm really hoping a bunch of those stuns were for zoning escapes, or t1 were just were out of their mind at dodging, because I only saw like 3 land the whole game. He kept missing flash-q, kinda odd ults, etc. As a support player looking for some plays, only the saves felt good.
DRX and Pyosik especially must have the strongest mentals in league history. I swear any other players would have mental boomed so hard, but they stayed strong the entire time no matter what. That in itself is very impressive to me.
NO SPOILERS!!!
well it was writteen from the start T1 were gonna win why is anyone surprised?

@@aminkashif3520 exactly you get it. Such a shit show of an event better off watching wrestling at this point.

"I realized being the best player didn’t matter at all. All that mattered was being the better team , and today we were the best team in the world." goes so fucking hard
It's really frustrating as a T1 fan knowing that this quote wouldn't exist if they just banned Aatrox, it's bittersweet honestly, because I know Deft worked hard for the win but got carried so hard by Zeka and Kingen. He deserved it for all the years of hard work, but he also didn't really do much at all this series.

He was playing so well too. Right up there with Oner and Gumayushi.
@@user-eh5qr9tj3y Agreed, and I am going to say it clear, Faker lost to Zeka and was a main reason why T1 didn’t win this tournament. T1 bot lane, Keria and Gomayushi are the best bot lane in fhe world hands down and I can truly understand the pain of Keria, he was insane. Oner was amazing as well. Game was lost mid and top with that weird meaningless Gwen pick.
I bet he was thinking about old drx. Chovy, deft, keria, pyosik, that roster was bomb excluding cvmax.
Pyosik even started crying when he hugged Keria at the end. Everyone Feels for him. He played so well.
well he was a former teammate at when they both played at DRX
Pyosik also cried when Deft broke down during the EDG interview.
I think dude just cant handle seeing his friends hurting.
pyosik and keria was in same team 20 drx
You could see Deft hugging him as well. Pyosik is an emotional guy but I think in that moment he felt a sort of heartbreak knowing his victory came over someone he called a teammate at one point.
Damn the way that dude is shaking after that heartbreaking loss. Major respect to this sport, these guys dump their absolute heart and souls for us! Round of applause to the world champions!
He said he shook because he questioned his life until then, leaving deft after saying he's gonna help deft to that trophy, karma.
@@Timerooy Can you rephrase the last part of your comment? Sounds interesting, but I don't understand it.
Ker n deft were in the same team, Kerry said he's with deft and will help Deft win the trophy, but then left for t1.

@@Timerooy Confirmed TheShy will win it again this year
You can steal as many barons you want from them. You can have your inhibitor respawn when your Nexus is being burned to nearly 0 hp by them. You can be up 2-1 or 2-0 against them. It won't matter. Even after 9 years of trying and failure, Deft never broke. Even after half a dozen steals, Pyosik kept trying. Even after a heartbreaking loss at last year's finals, Beryl pushed forward. Even when facing the juggernauts of EDG, GEN and T1, Kingen and Zeka held their ground and proved themselves. DRX's mental fortitude was as unbreakable as the core of a neutron star. Well played, absolute banger of a series.
Pin this comment pls.
@@HELLios6 I agree, the comment needs pinned or voted up. I had no real words to say in my comment, but this sums it up. You wont get a better underdog story than this unless NA somehow wins worlds which isn't going to happen anytime soon. The mental mindset of DRX is definitely out of this world. I'm guessing just like the castors, analysts have all said, they are letting the pressure go and just playing for fun and it's working to keep their mental strong.
I could not have said it better, especially this final series was absolutely insane. They fought tooth and nail for this Worlds win.

Those are the reasons why this year’s theme song is perfectly made for Deft.
*As long as he’s breathing, it is not over yet!*
Came here after the 2023 Worlds anthem. The feelings during these games were so palpable. As always, Riot's animation and music departments hit it out of the park.
@fyrewanderer2802 Same. Legendary game. I came to rewatch couple of minutes and stayed for enrite thing. Epic.
Seeing Keria in tears hits different after that music video
woah same
and hey, T1 won
Came here after T1 won the rigged Finale, I don't believe they actually won fair, LPL was so strong and after watching these games it just shows that this year the Korean players on the LPL teams simply didn't even try to win and even TheShy, ffs a iron 4 player would have been better top xD
Seeing Kerias reaction is absolutely heartbreaking. The hugs from Deft and Pyosik almost made me tear up myself. What an amazing series, in the end the better team won
No almost about it in my case. Deft also tearing up when he hugged Keria was very touching.

Showing him crying did the job anyway, it gave this worlds that little extra emotional involvement for people that aren't giant T1 fans.
Kingen played absolutely out of his mind this series. He really stepped up and carried the team when everything seemed to be falling apart

I've been playing LoL since beta, and been watching lolesports since its first competitive season. This was by far my favorite Worlds of all time. The DRX storyline being matched up against the resurgence of T1 and Faker's dynasty was truly a delight to behold. There have been plenty of amazing series in League history, but the emotions and narratives behind this one were just unparalleled.

The way Beryl and the coaches played T1 in draft is legendary.
The more the tournament went on, the more it felt like a coach diff indeed, such good drafts, especially adaptating during the series, for example banning Yone that last game felt really crucial even though he wasnt part of their usual bans during the series
True. How they trained the mental strength of their players is epic. Imagine not tilting after those frustrating Baron and Dragon steals.
Im glad people know that Beryl also had the say in drafts. Beryl is Heim incarnate
Beryl is def the unsung hero
played t1 in draft? lol t1 played them self banning reneta instead of kingens aatrox and then picking fucking karma insted of cait or azir. I feel like bengi got big paycheck after the game
This is the greatest run in all of League history, no team will probably ever do this again
This is the most insane run ever in esports probably
They defied all odds, literally defied being randomly trolled by inhibitor and getting baron stolen two times. I don't even know how they were able to compose themselves after that.... These players must be stone cold to not let that get to themselves... So impressive

That was one of the best 5 game sets I've EVER seen. What an incredible performance from both teams, on the edge of my seat for the whole run. DRX truly earned that win though staying strong even despite the titans that are T1 keeping them against the ropes over, and over.
Plus that 1% pick of bard? Just top notch.
Came back after the Worlds 2023 theme, it still gives me chills every time i watch this game, despite knowing the end
I feel disappointed and at the same time not suprised that Worlds 23 orchestra theme is not better than last 22 year.
This is the best underdog story ever. Coming from 4th seed into the play-ins, defying every expectation and win it all. It is great to see how after 10 years of struggles deft finally made it. Props for Zeka and Kingen for stepping up, both completely outperform the opposing solo laners. Pyosik honestly played decent, but he does have to work on his smites xd. And for Beryl, he finally gets to go back and play genshin impact lmao. Great performance by DRX and its the best worlds run ever.
Best underdog was OG 2018 winning TI8 from open qualifiers with a 1 month old line up.
Sorry but OG beats it by miles
@@Sammysapphira yeaaa.. no. DRX defeated the 2021 world champs EDG in quarters, the 2022 Korean Summer Champs GEN.G in Semis and finally the 2022 Korean Spring Champs in T1. All starting from the wildcard stage. No one even expected them to win on Quarters lol
@@adlibconstitution1609 no, wings is the one
@@ruviclaggui6005 OG in 2018 where predicted to be the worst team in the tornament, came up from open qualifires ( quivalent to play-ins ) they had a roster that was asembaled 1mounth before the tornament and their midlaner was literaly a random guy who never played ranked only normals and never played a profotional game in his life. They also beat all the tornament favorites including LGD twice in semis and finals many of the games they had to come back from massive gold deficits.
DRX where nowhere near the worst team coming in this tornament. EDG where not that great and was predicted that the series will go to 5 games which it did, they had TES who also colapsed in groups and GenG where very bad compared to summer because of the meta.
How is DRX beating the run from OG in 2018?
No one should be disappointed in how they played in this game. What a treat to watch, everyone played their hearts out and it has made it one of the most entertaining games of league I've ever watched.

BeryL ascending to goat support status.
If BeryL was a mid, he would be a fkin legend, but since he's a support no one cares. Like, he has been ruling LoL for 3 years and is less spoke about than Zeka
@@corentinm.105 Zeka is not that good, though he is another Azir player which is a rarity, though really Faker should have taken Azir then game was won, Azir had not lost in the finals up to that point its like no one paid attention to the Azir factor, unless Faker was too tired to pilot the Azir for one more round since playing Azir takes a lot of mechanical skill, that even I feel surprised Faker in his old age can still use that pick
I watched this whole series in theaters with my brother, and I can’t even stress. No other series has had me absolutely hyped or out of my seat since SKT Vs Rox tigers in 2015-16. This whole series. Was nothing but legendary and definitely history being made today! GG DRX!
Just got back from the theater that I want to with my gf and some friends. Shit was crazy hype! So happy Drx won, whole theater was screaming, haha.
I was at SKT ROX at MSG and I was thinking there is no way they top that. Man was I wrong.
Yep skt vs rox in 2015/16 was great but this was actually even better
this is my first Worlds experience and I will never watch another one again because I will always be disappointed by how highly contested this one was. fucking amazing

I've been a Deft follower ever since 2014 and it's so amazing to see him grow as a player and realize his dream. And Beryl Bard is the most "checkmate" move I've ever seen in League, period.
Man DRX really woke up the beast inside T1
History is written! These are by far the best World Championships we have ever witnessed. Unbelievable!
2021? Semis and Finals whent to 5 games and it was all very clolse. Yeah we didnt have a strory like DRX but the competitivness was really high in the top end.
The finals were trash, they both played like trash, the playins were more fun.
T1 didnt win so not the best to me.
Chill :p no need to exaggerate. 'The best' with 7 losses? There were way better teams before and only cuz an underdog won it doesn't mean they are uncatchable.
This has been the perfect run and story for Drx. I was rooting for skt but when they got Cait though draft I was scared. But this was so back and forth. This finals has been perfect
Imagine the amount of pressure DRX would have gone through mentally to get their Barons stolen. Even though the team remained calm, I still was at the edge of my seat thinking if they will lose the final elder dragon because T1's GUMAYUSI was an absolute beast in stealing these objectives but DEFT had laid out the traps and they zoned as much as possible. It was truly one of the most intense game as it could have gone either side. GG to both the teams. Honestly, DRX Absolutely Deserved It
Tbh DRX was quite bad on maintaining mentality after something goes wrong. Take game 1 for example, things were going quite even but as soon as they lost 1 dragon to T1, their whole mental went kaboom and they ran it down giving T1 a easy win. It literally fell apart after 1 dragon was lost. Same thing in this game 5, after an objective is stolen, DRX loses mental and gives up kills for no reason, gets caught all over the map. DRX largely won in draft. T1 had little to no CC and engage.
I come back to this game once every couple of months. Just such an epic series and a game 5 for the ages. The casting was phenomenal. "They have doubted, they have been discounted, they have been dismissed" hits so hard
now Keria is back to back champion winning the game 5 clash by cancelling Ahri tp during zeus/fakers vs 4 top fight !!
Was worth it to wake up early and watch all 5 games live, really congratulations to DRX, this is really the underdog story of the century
And Deft!!! he finally did it!!
Probably my favorite LoL Worlds of all time
This series was absolutely fucking insane, giving 2016 B05 finals a run for its money. I watched this live and the crowd going ballistic and caedrels excitement at 26:05 was something else
Chase center is fking incredible
did the commentator say 'what the fuck?'
ladies and gentleman, the best worlds finals ever.
I just keep coming back to this series. Truly unbelievable. I was so wow'd by DRX.
Rewatching this again makes you appreciate Beryl's Bard. He's the reason why Faker and Guma didn't have flash and ult (Faker) in the last team fight. His last ult also forced Oner to advance early proc'ing his GA.

Holy, what a banger of a series. So much back and forth, unreal mental from DRX coming back from 3 baron steals in one series. Who woulda thought that Kingen of all people on DRX would pull out his inner TheShy and completely gap Zeus in the last 4 games. Not to mention the insane draft adaptation in the final game. WP to both team, such a pleasure to watch.
That's the difference on a experienced player vs the rookie on the stage. Zeus might have been the prodigy throughout their run up to the final, but Kingen shows that he's the more seasoned player literally made the rookie sit down. I rooted for T1 this year, but after DRX insane run, I knew that even when I placed my pickems on T1 that DRX might win anyway.
It's not hard to be a carry when your champ is absolutely broken and T1 doesn't have neurons left to ban it.
@@vanquisher4700 t1s draft was interesting. They kept taking away Beryls Ashe and when they left it open game 5 he chooses BARD. They tried so hard to shut out DRX jungle and support when they kept coming up with answers. Idk why they didn't just ban aatrox. Despite the many mistakes from both top laners Kingen definitely came into clutch when they needed it. The deep flanks he had countless times in game 5 that didn't turn into anything serious ("pulling the trigger") gave DRX so much mental support and confidence to position the way they did overall it was insane
@@vanquisher4700 i think you dont' have neurons left lol, T1 had to ban botlane cause deft + beryl rampage over botlane everytime and oner focused topside more often but Kingen is actually skilled so he clapped t1 regardless. if they banned aatrox beryl/deft would play main champs which would also lose them the lane as you can't just ban 1 champion for botlane, you have to ban both or the lane is still even causing your ban to be useless on that 1 champ, regardless t1 got gapped so hard its crazy almost feel bad for em

I wasn't invested in either team for this series, I just wanted to watch some LoL as it's been a while, but this was one incredible fucking series. Going into Game 1, I did not expect to get so emotional from a series involving two teams that I'd never had any real feelings towards but by the end of Game 5, I couldn't look away. It's an incredible experience to see two of the best teams in the entire world face off against each other. After something like this, it's insane that people could continue to ridicule and disregard the esports scene as somehow lesser than "real" sports. This was a real showcase of real talent, and those were some of the most raw and real emotions I've ever seen coming from both teams afterwards. This was as real as it can get and if people can't see that, that's their loss.
3:42 Deft picked Bard and said "해? (Do you want it?)". And then, he locked in Bard, and he said "가자. (Let's go.)" You know, Berly's last Bard pick was in 2020. He has not even picked it in this year. But Deft trusted Beryl and Beryl made a return for it by his play. Wow.
Even though Beryl missed a decent amount of his Q’s and Ults, he gave DRX the space they needed and burned T1’s flashes. 👏 This final game was everything I could’ve asked for, and watching DRX’s rise to worlds was amazing. To see Deft finally get to play against Faker must have been exhilarating for him especially since they went to the same high school and he’s practically been in Faker’s shadow until now. Amazing performance by both teams and it put a smile on my face to see just how happy they were to win.
SO TRUE THO, like as a bard main i really like how he baited most of the T1's summs and positioning and just go out barely alive. What a treat to watch.
not only did he bait out summs, but they won most teamfights because he baited out most of faker's and keria's abilities.
man every once in a while i just come back to this and just feel so grateful that i saw this in person. i feel like the crowd mix *really* undersells how loud it was-- when guma stole that second baron the fucking roof blew off the place. sickest live event i've ever seen, and insane crowd. although i was probably half the crowd noise for DRX lmao.
same here lol. the crowd and the energy in the stadium... it was so hype it was amazing

Through out the whole season, Deft and BeryL has always been the stable duo for DRX to rely on. But at Worlds, Zeka, Pyosik and Kingen start to become more and more reliable, so that they can be the real TEAM. As Zeka and Pyosik has improved a lot, Kingen somehow still being the last piece of the team that haven't shined, but in the Final against T1, Kingen has finally made it, and at that moment, DRX became the strongest team, and they made history.
It is sad that all of them can't play as a team anymore, eventhough they agreed the low amount of payment, it is still not enough, thus all of them seperate.
The brightest star truly doesn't lasts long.
Why cant they? Haventbeen in the loop

@Jon Guiriba why is it always about money lol do you think NA players(at least the older ones who put effort) that are rich and endlessly grinded the game to win nothing are happy because they get paid a fuckton? They are not, it's very crushing and no money can fix that
And if it can then competing is not your priority
@Jon Guiriba money is great but its more about lifting the trophy for these guys
@Jon Guiriba i think this is mostly a cultural thing. Like I am assuming you are a westerner(much like myself) so we think about big championship titles and like "ehh they did well now they can spend their money on the off season" but like its just not like that in the East these guys constantly (aside from beryl cause lol) put in 10-14 hours especially the young guys from scrims to solo q and the like and most of them have been doing that for the last almost year(remember LCK starts in January with a 1-2 month break depending on playoffs). We are talking thousands of hours when all you really give a damn about is the title because money is kinda meh at this point. But to caveat hes on the most decorated teams we have in all of League(pretty much by a mile) so I am sure expectations were high as hell.
Keria I feel you man, being the best the whole year to lose when it matters most.
There's nothing more great to witness then these moments. Seeing a legend who deserves trophy finally getting it after years of falling just short. I'm so fucking happy for Deft

At least it got to a game 5...
Why didnt banned aatrox 😾
@Samuel Guite Faker ints way too much 🤣
@Samuel Guite what are you on about? It's mostly top and macro/teamfight/draft gap. DRX was better at all 3. Not sure why faker is to blame when he is put in bad situations constantly. I was rooting for DRX but give some fucking respect you subhuman who lives rent free in the GOAT's head
i just watched 2023 finals and i just want to wash my eyes with this..
There wil never be another LoL championship or worlds run quite like this one. This was history to watch…incredible😊
T1 really first picked Karma and didn't ban Aatrox after getting steamrolled by it twice in a row.
Worst 1st pick ever... karma
damn it hurt to watch Keria cry but seeing Deft finally win after so damn long was incredible. greatest Worlds finals ever. no question.
49:16 that hug between Pyosik and Keria man..!!!
Im not sure something like this will ever happen again...but destiny and miracle appearently exist. You qualify as 4th seed, you defeat RNG, you reverse sweep an ex world champion, then take out the number one seed, and lose 3 barons in a row but Still you force the greatest team of a competitive scene to kneel in front of you, well that is not luck cause luck can only take you as far as it can, that is a mixture of skill, mentality and destiny, and frankly it had to be this way, to make it the most memorable victory that will ever take place on a worlds stage.
THE COMEBACK, I GOT GOOSEBUMPS! I HAD FUN WATCHING THE MATCH!
Beryl locking in Bard game 5 against the best team in the world is the ultimate GIGACHAD moment.
What's with the Bard? I don't play LOL. Is bard not in the meta thing?
@@heartfilialuxie4641It's one of the most difficult supports in the entire game, if you play that champ bad you are trolling 😂
@@Justharddvd20 oh thank u for explaining
I think it was one of the best picks EVER. He also played Bard brilliantly in this game, constantly getting attention and surviving.
What a great series. Usually game 5 eventually becomes incredibly predictable who will win by some ridiculous margin, but I had no idea who would take it until the very end. This game was so intense!!
I went to worlds Live in person for the first time ever and witnessed this, THE greatest game in LOL history
best league game i have ever watched even if i had to watch it at 3am where im from i have no regrets and im sure ill still remember this game in 10 years
I'm a T1 fan. If there was ever a team to lose to, this version of DRX is it. So damn impressive how they fought for this win. Ice cold mentals, turning small opportunities into massive spiraling victories. I honestly can't believe how hard Kingen and Zeka snowballed their lanes, but it's really their teamwork that decided these matches. A legendary best of 5, where I had no clue who would win it. DRX is just slightly better than T1 right now. That might very well change as the meta shifts.
If you start playing the GODS music video at 45:06, the last chorus lines up with the nexus explosion. Thank me later
What an awesome worlds and finals series! Probably the best one ever. Really wish T1 had banned the Aatrox in game 5, Kingen was going absolutely nuclear with him and carried his team those last 2 games. Congrats to Deft!
Man, this was up there with season 6 and 8 for my favorite finals. Phenomenal.
Keria so sorry for him, he didnt know he will be next two times world champ in a row 😊
my fellow humans this is what peak league of legends looks like
As a guy who just heard about this today, was rooting for no team in particular and hardly plays league, this was epic
What a story from DRX. The greatest run in playoffs I've seen in all my years watching esports. Even surpassing Taipei Assassins who were the real first world champions in my eyes.
Let's check out this insane accomplishment.
-Beat out LEC #1 seed Rogue and Top Esports in Groups
-Took out 2021 defending champs, EDG
-Took out HEAVY tournament favorites Gen G
-Took out the GOAT and his squad of mechanical prodigies
just unbelievable, this stuff only happens in movies. Absolutely tragic for T1.
Dun firget drx start their world journey from play-in instead of group stg.
Saing it like that is good but, GenG wherent that great at the tornament and the meta wasnt for them, also Chovy and Peanut choke at worlds ( it happend here too ), EDG where in terible form coming into worlds adn they didnt improve at worlds, RGE colapsed like every other EU team in weak 2 and in general where never wining a bo5 vs DRX.
So yeah based on names they did great but based on form from their oponents it wasnt all that impresive, still great that they did it, they where one of my favorite teams coming out of groups. Also the win oer SKT was 100% legit.
Man this DRX team is something else. Came all the way thru play-ins and single handedly beat 3/4 LPL teams as well as Gen G and T1. They deserve this world championship the most and it’s not even close.
Insane games.... Best championship in League history. Congrats to DRX
Пришла сюда после Гимна 2023. Это просто потрясающе, как Riot передали все эмоции от игры в клип... Даже характеры игроков в персонажах похожи, просто великолепная работа. А девочки из NewJeans, тут без комментариев) Я в восторге 😍
Согласен 😢!
T1 roster ZOFGK being today the best team in League of Legends history, makes even more this worlds finals more legendary, DRX how did you do to shutdown reigning world champs + korea champs + T1 ZOFGK roster to win it all ???
Honestly. What a series! Personally a T1 fan, but here DRX clearly deserves the win. They've had the edge pretty much in all game but the first. They would have won in 4 if it wasn't for the double Baron steal of game 3, but even then, they still had the wind in their sail. T1 gave too much priority in the picks to bot and kinda seemed to forget all other lanes. I get the karma pick for the line prio, and it worked, but he should ve picked Cait for sure... Also, well, mid and top gap was too big for DRX. Faker failed to deliver, he got constantly caught in all games (I know he's being focused) but he often got picked out of position, which leaded to his flash being constantly down. He tried to make too many offensive flashy plays which unfortunately didn't get much success, but with azir. They should've prioed that pick for him. But zekka played flawlessly, so we have to give him that. And top lane, Zeus losing lane, getting picked last game, even his counterpick to aatrox with Fiora got shit on game 4. He only had a good game with Yone tbh. Aatrox should clearly have been banned last game, as all previous games with aatrox, Zeus failed to match and contain him. Also T1 forced way too many dragons and towers when they didn't need to, just because it was on their agenda, and that back fired quite often. Very good series for the rest of T1, and for DRX, well we can probably say that deft was carried, but that was his role in this series, since there's been so much focus in the picks by T1 bot. So yeah, T1 got out drafted, out played and out macroed... Even with 3 Baron steals they managed to lose the series, not the speak of the dragon steals as well. I also felt like the casters were overwhelmed by the stake of the series, and forgot to actually analyze the games. With all said and done, AWESOME series and run through World's, they much deserve the title.
its fakers year
Your comment should have the most thumbs up. I literally don't have anything to say and still thinking of words for my comment and agree to everything you said. However, Deft actually did well game 5 but was just overshadowed by the obvious top laner that crushed game 4 and 5, but the cait game was lowkey good. He did underperform all other games prior tho, but that is to be expected at this point. I'm happy DRX won, I'm gonna root for SKT next year because you won't really get a much better underdog story than this, last place team, play ins, 10 year history, same high school as faker, and the to beat the GOAT team and GOAT player as underdogs? Makes the story even better and it would be hard to top this. You had it all, baron steals, highlights from every player, comebacks, heartbreak and it just goes on and on.
Even though pyosik did badly for smites his set ups for picks with hecarim is something to behold EVEN though he got railed in the first couple of minutes because hecarim is a weak early game champ he still made some insane set ups. This is just to add coz I agree with your comment
Faker had a couple of good games, unfortunately just not when he wasn't playing Azir. As soon as I saw the Viktor lock-in in G5, I sighed and realized that DRX would win the championship. His Viktor hasn't looked good at all.
Zeus, however, was getting outplayed in basically every game. His Yone game was pretty good, though.
I think that T1 had worse drafting, overall, than DRX did. I think that Zeus underperformed. I think that Faker underperformed every game he wasn't on Azir. The T1 botlane played very well, even when you don't factor in the multiple objective steals from them. I think that Oner played better than Pyosik, but I also think that he left a lot to be desired even with HIS objective steals.
Bruh what they literally won cause t1 doesnt know how to do draft and bans correctly and lost this game cause of broken elder buffs
Beryl needs to be mentioned more. Winning world's on two different teams is very impressive
and getting to 3 finals in a row
He was very bad almost entire tournament lol
@@milandjukic4583 We call it "lose at battle but win the war." Beryl is the main player of making a team call. Yeah, he seems bad mechanically (compared to other pro players), seems to die meaninglessly, not overwhelming during lane phase. However, he knows how to win the games. And it makes him come Finals three times in a row as well as have two Worlds Champion titles.
He is obviously not my first picked supporter, but we cannot but admit that this dude is one of the top-tier supporter players.
@@milandjukic4583 doesn’t matter how you do over the course of the tournament, it’s about showing up on the day that it matters the most. Faker and Zeus both played like shit, while Beryl and all of DRX showed up to play
@@Kai_soze are u dumb or somthin? If he doesnt play his best at quater and semis there is big chance he wont get to finals. Guy was biggest meme vs geng
It's interesting to see the difference in Draft phase for both teams throughout the series.
T1 focuses bans/prio picks on Support/JG for team play
DRX focuses bans/prio picks on Mid/Top and then plays around them
great match regardless
coming here after wbg v t1 to remember what a good final looks like
At least T1 vs JDG delivered
2022 is probably one of the best Worlds hands down.
BeryL is an amazing support, three consecutive worlds finals and 2/3 ! Amazing performance by DRX, they held their composure and earned the W.
he got sooo lucky that last game
@@zeroday7878 Yeah, I'm really hoping a bunch of those stuns were for zoning escapes, or t1 were just were out of their mind at dodging, because I only saw like 3 land the whole game. He kept missing flash-q, kinda odd ults, etc. As a support player looking for some plays, only the saves felt good.
DRX and Pyosik especially must have the strongest mentals in league history. I swear any other players would have mental boomed so hard, but they stayed strong the entire time no matter what. That in itself is very impressive to me.
