Scout is one of my favorite stories in League of Legends. From his early days on SKT to his historic career on EDG. He's accomplished so much in the LoLEsports scene. Not enough people outside of the LPL or LCK know his story. Today we're fixing that. Special thanks to the LPL for research help with this video.

Lived up to his name in the end
UberDanger in here, POG
Cool to know you still watch league videos, even if you dont play amymore
True lol
you son of a b, you got me

It's official. Gbay can predict the future. Any player he makes a video on like this reaches/wins Finals
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He edited the tittle though? :P
So is he at gun point if he tries to make a documentary about an NA or EU player?
Seriously though. If I knew all this beforehand I would’ve had a lot more faith in EDG. Their history and hunger for achievements, as well as Scouts’ obvious determination gives them such a mental edge over DWG. DWG were favorites with little to prove. Scout is just inspiring. His performance in finals was insane. He deserves this.
@@alfie3362 exactly
Just as a short note, a few people have pointed out I unintentionally glossed over Meiko (EDG's support) who's been with EDG this whole time too, even longer than Scout. This documentary obviously focused on Scout, but he also deserves credit for sticking with the team through their dark days until their recent resurgence :)
Some statements like the only good player and most veteran player when Meiko has been great as well rubbed me the wrong way. Good documentary regardless.
you're just really bad at journalism, like back in the day when you made the 3v3 video and only talked smack without knowing that lucian mid originated as a counter to mages in 3v3 or all the poe nashors roa builds that were mathematically correct came from there. the so called suppmeta in 3v3 was funnel years before it came to summoners rift. your documentaries are like cheap wine : no nuance.
i see why you can't identify in greatness and love underdog stories, you'd like to see yourself as the underdog, but sorry mate, this really just isn't a good piece of work. back to the drawing board.
@@Synday stay jealous of his success
tbf meiko is getting payed so much by the EDG org that he kind of has no choice but to stay XD
thank you for talking about this
Scout finally won Worlds! Congrats, EDG!
Edit: And he’s also a Finals MVP, I’m so happy for him 😄
Gbay has a talent for making me care about players I never even would've given a moment's thought to. First it was Huanfeng and now Scout.
C'mon man Huanfeng it is impossible not to root for
I used to root for HuanFeng and doinb, until I realise they were kind of toxic and were just like the cruel world, especially doinb flaming nemesis when he couldn’t even qualify that year and nemesis was having a bad time, just pettiness
@@dragonplayz6606 smoking that nemesis pack 🚬🚬
@@azrael8890 why are people so stupid? This is about liking someone, nemesis probably isn’t the best person out there, the cycle continues but this is about liking someone.
@@dragonplayz6606 usual eu biased fan lmfao , so nemesis can flame doinb for having bad laning when he can't even beat him at quarters and doinb can't flame him for picking velkoz at worlds ? Bet nemesis can't even qualify for worlds let alone qualify for playoffs if he's in the lpl. Go express your opinion at reddit or something smh
I came back to this video to tell everyone: HE IS GOING TO FINALS!
Edit: He just won finals against DW! And also got the MVP!
lmao I came here expecting new comments !! was not disappointed !!
i feel you, after qualifying to Semi and breaking the curse I came back !!
I just came here to tell ya he friggin did it, he is world champion bois
@@xylerDark lol beat me to it
He wonnnn
The Gbay Buff actually exist. So happy EDG and Scout won worlds this year!
EDG JUST WON WORLDS AND SCOUT WAS CROWNED MVP OF THE SERIES LETSS GOOOOOOOO !!
They did it....they finally broke the curse....by defeating DAMWON
Jiejie would've gotten FMVP but Riot didn't want to give it to a jungler 4 years in a row
"pawn started suffering from severe back pain..."
*Immediately sits up straight*
hahahhahaha
Yeah that MSI Championship really destroyed his back carrying the team becoming the champions 😅. Jokes aside Scout freaking did it they won worlds and break the curse for EDG 😁
the fact that gbay didn't talk a single time about Meiko make me hope there will be a documentary on him someday
Now he won worlds, seems like watching this before Worlds was a good idea
Scout did it, what a mad lad
Btw in the last EDG vlog, when the players took the bus to the airport, you see Aaron telling the players "Lastly, I hope we can make a promise to each other. Let's not meet in the next two weeks." and crying when the bus drove away
not two weeks, two months!
@@oolegg9299 sry my bad
There's just something cool with someone dedicating their entire pro career to a team and actually be able to win in the highest stage as the most valuable player. Glad that someone has documented Scout's journey in the pro scene.
If I had a nickel for everytime i rooted for an LPL team I had no connection to because gbay made a documentary, I'd have 2 nickels.
Which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
aren't you a little too old to be using a Phineas and Ferb reference?
@@egcurioso2921 This meme transcended Phineas and Ferb and nobody even remembers its origin xD
@@netix2497 wooosh
Gbay99 buff is getting to finals at the very least
@@egcurioso2921 why yes. yes he is.
The one be forgotten? He is now the world champion! The junior of SKT finally becomes the legend of EDG!
the best part about this is that EDG actually has a nice shot in winning worlds when you think about it
pretty good chance
2nd favorite after FPX
As much as I want FPX to win again, Aaron fucking deserves the W.
@@justsomeguythatwantssometh9986 EDG has got to break their worlds duck. I didnt realize their poor worlds form before i watched the video.
This is their best roster in years, Scout doesn't have to solo carry games anymore, Viper is arguably the best ADC in the world right now, him and Meiko are absolutely insane as a duo, Flandre has performed really well this year in top as well and I haven't watched enough of JieJie to know whether he's good but looking at their regular split results I would assume so
I remember gbay99 making a story about Huanfeng last year. Then Huanfeng and his team went all the way to the finals. Although they didn't win, they still gave us one of the best worlds championship series ever, especially game 2. I also remember watching every game they played at worlds that year starting from the groups stage, all because of gbay99, and ngl they were one of the most exciting team to watch that year.
The Gbay99 buff for Scout will surely take him and his team to places.
yes, and they will beat RNG and C9/GenG to reach Finals!
This aged well
This aged REALLY well
Should have watched this documentary and read this comment before putting 3-0 DWG Haiz...
Lezzzgo! EDG!
2 seconds ago, they won 2021 WORLDS👍👍👍
EDG 3 - 2 DAMWON
What a game!
Congratulations scout and the entire edg team.
That was fast man!
GGWP !
If EDG wins worlds you need to make a part 2!!
Let's go part 2
Poor Meiko. Being forgotten every time when Gbay mentions the roster shuffles. Great docu nonetheless
ikr?
31:08 this made me almost cry man, EDG saved Scout and Scout saved EDG
same here, it is insane omg, such truth, EDG and Scout saved each other,
Just like watching Toothless and Hiccup
BRO IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE, THE MOMENT THAT GBAY DOES A VIDEO OF A PLAYER BEFORE WORLDS THEN THAT PLAYER REACHES TO THE FINAL - HAUNFENG AND SCOUT XD
Ikr this dude on to something. I'm waiting for his docu before my pickems next year.
If EDG loses, then I will be sure that Gbay knows the script.
At this point whatever team Gbay makes a doc on for worlds just becomes one of my favorite teams I think. First SN with Huanfeng now EDG with Scout
you mentioned scout was the only constant through EDG's history but Meiko was there all the years aswell (and he's also an LPL legend, probably one of the most influential supports of all time)
despite this, watching this after the 2021 world's finals give me the chills. scout finally got what he deserved after grinding for years, truly a heartwarming story
Everyone in these EDG roster needs a documentary himself, specially, Flandre, the man who tell jokes when it plays in tournament for maintain the cheers in his teamates
A Flandre documentary would be so dope. He is so underrated
That would be fantastic
He was also the one the coach yelled at first to set an example out of.
Today, EDG finally break the curse and redeem itself! Congratulations!
EDG used to curse other teams though. Anyone who knocked EDG out of worlds would not qualify for worlds the following year. The only time this curse was broken was in 2018 when FNC beat them but still qualified for 2019. And of course this year, no curse because no one knocked them out.
The most satisfying thing about this is the fact that at Worlds, Scout and EDG are in the same group as....Faker and SKT, now known as T1. Scout finally comes in as the better player of the two, with a chance to finally exact revenge. Unbelievable.
Revenge on who though?
Faker? Because he was the best performing Mid laner?
T1? But Scout left SKT because of his own choice?
His storyline this year is proving himself and EDG instead of revenge.
@Georg Tolstoj Exactly
What is so fascinating to me with EDG's win at summer playoffs, was that it was not only redemption for EDG, and for Scout, but it was at this moment that a player long stuck on a team that almost made it, that almost made it to an international tournament year on year. With snake esports with his old pal SoFM, and with LNG after the rebrand. Flandre is going international baby. I am an LNG fan, but at my heart if EDG wins worlds I would be over the moon, Flandre has long been one of my favorite players and I am so happy he finally made it.
Watched this video on release and now I'm watching it again today after celebrating Scout and EDG's heroic victory at the 2021 League of Legends World Championship. No one in the history of this sport has struggled, fought, and persevered like Scout has. This was truly an anime-esque story arch for a player who will go down as one of the greatest players of all time and a true role model for aspiring competitors. Congratulations Lee Ye-chan, you earned it!
I think it would be really cool to reupload an extended version now adding the story of this worlds to the end.
From stumbling in groups by dropping a game to 100T, to breaking the curse against against the msi-champion in RNG, to almost loosing against the arguably worst team left, so they go into finals as massive underdogs just to somehow win it in a 5 games series.
When EDG believed in him he payed them back and now when he believed in them and stayed with them they payed him back, by not only breaking the curse but also winning it all.
great idea
This is the most epic worlds run with 3 silver scrapes in a row, the only other team to make such a run was KTA in OGN 2014 Summer
Who's here after Scout makes it to the World Final!?
Edit: EDG just won Worlds!!!
They did it, they are now the 2021 world champion against DK the curse is over
Amazing video ❤️🔥
Edit happy he made it to Semis 🌚🔥
Edit he won it 😭❤️
True ❤️🔥
The curse is finally broken.
FINALS NOW BABYYYY
They fuckin won it!
@@ichigoichie369 ikr told you scout ❤️❤️ so happy
This feels like the hero story now after the last game today.
Wow, I honestly was always a diehard NA fan, never paying much attention to the Eastern League teams, but this really opened my eyes to some amazing tales and I think I just might be an EDG convert now. Let's fucking go Scout
Beta male traitor
@@Etoka You're goddamn right
Lpl in general is such an amazing region to root for. You can go as deep as 9th place in playoffs this split and its still a team that can easily make a deep run in worlds (in this case it was literally TES which is insane)
@@Watermellowed good answer
They fking did it lol
Okay I want EDG to win worlds now
Hell ya i would fuck with an edg aphelious skin
smoking that EDG PACK TODAY T1 VICTORY!
nah wont happen they just lost to 100 thieves ending 4-2
@@holyknight9507 we'll see, depends a lot on the draw and how the other groups shake out
if RNG or GEN G top their groups they could go pretty far
I dunno, DK’s saying no
THEY'RE GOING TO FINALS HOLY HYPE
Gbay documentary blessing > EDG curse
It's a shame that Meiko was so glossed over because he has such a fantastic relationship with Scout. They're the longest-lasting teammates in LPL history (since 2016, so Scout's whole career in LPL Meiko's been his only team support). In that time between Summer 2020 and Spring 2021 splits, it was both Scout and Meiko's contracts there were up and both of them could have potentially left EDG but they both stayed. Scout congratulated Meiko in post-game interview for when the EDG support got his 6000th assist (LPL record) and said he hoped they'll continue playing together for a long time. Meiko also refers to him as a great friend in his Players Tribune essay (a fantastic read!). And now Viper (the ADC Scout scouted~ for the team) along with Meiko are often referred to as the best 2v2 bot-lane in the world.
It's such a great narrative and like~ Meiko really adds to Scout's lore
Also some of my fave insights on Scout come from Frosk's casting of 2021 LPL Spring EDG in the Playoffs when they 3-0'ed TES: he's a quiet god of the midlane, as he has always been greatly overshadowed by the World Champion midlaners he's subbed for (Faker, PawN) and by the other big World Championship players in the LPL (DoinB, Rookie, etc.). He grew into his own as this quiet god of the midlane who does the job his team needs him to and doing it well. It's such a cool title imo~ The Quiet God. (Pretty accurate too as he's the least chatty in the team comms. Even Viper who's still learning Chinese is more talkative in game or in streams.)
Now he's a World Champion himself with a skin for a champion he really likes (Zoe~ incidentally Frosk also referred to Scout as the best Pro Zoe player in the world and now he has the skin to show for it).
So like, yeah~ 加油Scout！加油EDG！
2v2
I really hope scout wins worlds this time, he's a LEGEND.
Aged well!
@@angeloegrubay178 He fucking did it boys!
He just did
SCOUT MVP FOR EDG
''' i got revenge for faker''
HOLY MOLY GBAY IS A PROPHET. I AM SO HAPPY FOR SCOUT
This video aged very well.
Meiko definetly deserves one of these docs too! Absolute beast that stayed with EDG for pretty much the entire time.
And he is now a World Champ, Grats to Scout and EDG, ggwp
Watched this documentary before Worlds started. Couldn't be happier that a player this dedicated to his organization not only won Worlds, but also won MVP.
scout finally getting the recognition he deserves as worlds champion and finals mvp
Most underrated player at worlds tbh
Agreed
Videos that aged like fine wine.
And now. The World champion finally
Well Today he, and his team made it to the 2021 semifinals :D
Thank you for making this documentary Scout deserves a lot of recognition.
I think you need a second Video on edg now! Cant wait!!
Hell yeah, I was hoping you'd put out another video like last week. Glad to see this hasn't disappointed, and even more glad that we got a documentary with a cliffhanger.
Quick note: Chinese fans call scout 小學弟，which in context means he’s the understudy （to faker) . I hope this year’s worlds he can show that he’s his own unique mid laner, and one of the best in the world
who's here after EDG won worlds?
These documentaries are sooo good. I find myself rooting for these players and teams solely because of your work. Love them Gbay!
Amazing video Gbay99, this makes me really happy that I'm working on a profile story for one of the collegiate players for my university and your work is always such an inspiration.
There are a lot of players I would want to see a documentary next, namely smeb, khan, and others but honestly I really want to see Deft, in terms of longevity he is only second to Faker, arguably the 2nd greatest ADC of all time, and the greatest ADC Korea produced, he has MSI, LCK, and LPL, 1K kills in LCK and LPL, the only thing he does not have is a worlds trophy which seems that every year he gets a chance to get one, he blows it everytime, and now that his career is losing time, his desperation to win a title shows by his work ethic and even if he has back problems which causes him pain in game, he never stops to try and reach his goal, Deft docu would make my year honestly gbay!
only halfway through the scout vid but ik this is going to be a banger
Arguably first
@@ryankirkpatrick8489 agreed.
Deft is arguably the ADC goat, he even beat Uzi when he was in lpl
And he did it.
"hopefully finding a better team to play for that wasn so cursed" proceeded to join kt
Pawn right xd?
@@Kurtofon deft also joined them
yea lol KT is the EDG of Korea i feel like.
Edit: and after leaving that comment they win worlds....
Not the first time i had a few tears in my eyes from a story of yours and hopefully not the last time. The loyalty of scouts is moving, truly.
Thanks for making this video. As a fan for scout and EDG I am almost in tear. I really hope they can get what they want in S11. Scout has been waiting for a world champion a long time. His talent needs to be proved this time.
To be honest, Viper is hardly a star when he was recruited. GRF lost LCK seat the year before. The case is very similar to their top laner Flandre. EDG's ability to hire good players from the underdogs is phenomenal.
Flandre's improvement in game and outside of it is very commendable.
HE WON HE FUCKING WON OMG!!!!!.
Damn, this is one of your best videos ever. That's 2 years in a row now that you've single handedly got me interested in watching worlds after quitting league 4 years ago.
Thanks for that video, and for all others. Really love your documentary subjects choices. I'm big fan of Scout his story is really amazing, what a great video !
I'd love a follow up to this following their worlds victory vs an on form dwg, I'm sure I'm not alone in this! Such a compelling narrative
Won worlds and won MVP! GJ SCOUT!
OMG I've been a fan of EDG since like 2014-2015 ish and as a fan I am so glad I stuck with them despite the insane odds against them. Congrats EDG for winning worlds!
p.s scout really did return the favour by winning worlds xD
Instantly thought of this video when watching his MVP Interview. What a great story and great bit of content.
It’s a good video but I have to figure out that Meiko is another veteran in this team. Both Scout and Meiko carried edg forward in those difficult days.
And now he is a WORLD champion. This is a true example of consistency!!
I think we always find great stories way more relatable than great players. Amazing job as ever Gbay :)
vids like this makes u appreciate the game so much more and its players even more. great vid
And now the curse is broken. Congrats to LPL and EDG!!
its insane how EDG was just a usual team for me and now im seeing myself being biased towards them in their matches, simply because of this video. great series!
I don't know how you do it but these documentaries are some of the few videos where I have to cry. Thank you for such emotionally engaging videos.
Thank you Gbay for making this amazing video, this made me change the team i cheer for this worlds because now i know how badly scout wants to win and i would be so happy for him if he does win.
Your best one so far, I think. Great job!
watching this today. He didn't really EDG let them down.! salute to scout ! a long journey! A WORLD CHAMPION!
Holy shit the goose bumps I’m getting from these videos man, props to Gbay, very few documentaries get this hyped up
What an epic documentary to make the worlds feel more euphoric. Last month, I rooted for skt t1 to win worlds, while low key supporting edg because of this video. Thank you for this documentary, it will be one of my core memory.♥️
Coming here to say that I truly love your videos, that I watched this documentary and most importantly to say that Scout just won Worlds today just minutes ago(november, 6th)
As mandarin speaker, I was confused by "多此一举", "guide the lily" , "were gonna have to reinvent the wheel" part, it's 3 completing different meaning.
What a great video! It is very clear you enjoyed making it. Keep up the good work an thank you for the incredible documentaries.
Welcome back! I'm really happy to see you uploaded. Hope everything is good and hope you're happy!
7/11/21 - SCOUT AND EDG ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!
just finished watching edg win over rng in the courter final and they broke the edg curse 😂👍👍
Prior to Worlds Semis, I've seen this video and after watching it, I hoped Scout can win it all, especially from knowing nothing about him and to see the growth and the sacrifices he made to even stay on EDG for so long. And this video is even more satisfying to see given that he has won it all. Thanks Gbay99.
You're videos are so so good man. Telling us incredible histories we wouldn't know other guy. Thanks.
Yo, finally another banger documentary from my favourite TH-camr.
Imagine an SKT / EDG finals where Scout finally get's true redemption.
Unlikely, I know, more because of how good DWK looks, but anything is possible in esports.
After the 3rd game I was sure that skt would win the series.. Then Showmaker happened totally a different breed he is the best midlaner in the world at the moment
Well anything is possible. They won!!!!
@@code_with_ali YES! AND IM SO HAPPY FOR SCOUT MEIKO AND VIPER!!
don't know how you do it Gbay but every time I watch one of these documentaries I tear up.
This documentary deserves so much more recognition it's insane. Despite not knowing much about Scout beforehand, he has earned my complete respect and now I feel bad not picking them as favourites going into Worlds 2022
I already respected EDG a lot because of their dominance and how prominent and loyal players like clearlove and meiko were and this just added a lot to it. I never knew how much of a carry he was past 2017 I always just thought he was solid. Great video as usual gbay and I hope edg performs well this worlds
How to get hyped for worlds even more ... Thx Gbay, this is a masterpiece !
I genuinely thought the view count was bugged when I first saw it. This is for sure gonna blow up bro. Great video!
Amazing video. Thank you for putting this together 🙏
