Samsung’s Victory Is Really Like a Sports Anime. A bunch of talented but unruly youths are united by an old sensei past his glory; in their first attempt they come second place and for a while seem lost; but they slowly grow as a team match after match, and finally win in their best performance.

> People forget that if Faker changes his position to Jungle and play for another 5 years, that will be Ambition now.

> Ambition Mid wasn’t at that level, is he?

> Ambition Mid WAS at that level, you fool.

Summary of 2017 Worlds.

> Even Peanut…Is now a mere ghost…

> The united ROX was scattered by SKT, and the scattered ROX is once more scattered by Samsung.

> Old ROX grinded to dust by Ambition’s bat.

> As an SKT fan, I’m sad and mortified, but no one can question how a great player Ambition is. Wait for us at that summit.

Huge Respect to Crown’s Mum.

Crown said “At mid lane, Faker is the best in the world. But my mother told me that when I go against the best in the world, I am also the best in the world.” He continued saying “Faker is really the best in the world, but today, I think I blended better with the team.”

> Respect to Crown that respects Faker~

> Crown’s Mum’s so cool!

> Sae Chae Mum

> Feels like Crown really reaped from his hard work. Congratulations, hope nothing but the best for you.

Do you know why it’s so shocking to see Faker crying? When Samsung came to shake hands, Faker, the player who cares about courtesy and politeness more than anyone else, could barely stand up because he was so overwhelmed with emotion and was crying. Makes me angry at Bang all over again.

> This is a player that hides his emotions and facial expressions so much, that it is meme’d upon…

> He’s crying because he is mortified. Mortified because he has to carry an ADC like this.

> Why does Faker have to cry? It’s Bang who should be crying, but he’s smiling.

> Maybe Faker expected this loss, all along. When he said in the interview after RNG that he thought “It was time for SKT lose because we no longer are desperate”, he would have foreseen this looming defeat. So he clenched his teeth and played harder then ever, but even he could not stall this powerless defeat, so he broke down.

Faker’s Tears.GIF Hurts my heart. Just like the lyrics of “Legends Never Die” I hope you step up and rise once again.

> This has not changed the fact that Faker is the Legend Itself. No one can deny this.

> Pissed me off to see Bang smile, while Faker is crumpling like that. ㅡㅡ

SKT’s “The Last Supper”.

When this went up on Reddit, many commented on how epic this is as well as comparing it to “The Last Supper”. I remember someone commenting then “Who is Judah, then?”

I guess we’ve found out today.

> Isn’t even his position where Judah sits?

> If this is The Last Supper, it also means He will rise again.

Ranked Game Commemorates Faker’s Tears.

Screenshot Translation: ALL: Faker cried…Let’s all buy Tear of Goddess to cry with him.

> In Solo Rank too, hahaha.

> Whoa, am I the only person awed by this? I know that (everyone buying Tears) was for joke and lulz, but the fact that everyone joined into it. It shows how great an icon Faker is among Challenger and Master players, someone they respect and look up to.

> I agree; it’s not Bronze or Silver, this is a Masters and Challengers game.

> Ryze’s the one that really benefited from this, haha.

> Nidalee planned this. She first mentioned it, knowing that her team benefits more from going Tears.

Faker don’t cryyy

I, Alpaca, no forward Flash. Alpaca no forward Vision. Alpaca no forward telelport. Alpaca no push enemy Varus to safety, no R into the air.

Alpaca no let my mid die while CSing. Alpaca die for my mid. Alpaca never ever play Jayce ADC.

Alpaca won’t let my mid buy Ardent Sensor. Alpaca buy Ardent Sensor if mid Lucian mid Corki.

Trust Alpaca! Alpaca protect Faker with life! Plz take Alpaca as your ADC!

> I actually do want to see this; Faker and Deft.

> High school duo, gogo

> They went to the same high school?!

> Yeah, same high school. Deft was a Challenger at high school but could not brag about it because there was someone with higher ELO in the class; that was Faker.

I’ll settle the “Best Mid In the World” argument once and for all.

Crown: Won the Worlds

Faker: Managed to take Bang to Finals

Can’t dispute what’s the greater achievement, can we?

> Accepted.

> This motherfucker makes me agree.

Faker’s Face After the Final Teamfight.GIF

> I can really feel his desperation from here T_T

> Must have been the angriest he has been as a professional player. It would have been so tough.

> Looks like he is about to release a series of curses, but has just contained it.

I can’t even begin to summarize Bang’s mistakes today. At match 3, they drafted Tristina and Fervor Leona against Varus and Lulu they’ve been losing as so far, and went 35 CS behind. During this process, they never checked Varus’s summoner spells and even set Varus free with a “Freedom Ult”.

Even after the rest of the team began to push the game to their advantage, in the teamfight he mis-positioned himself and got himself deleted with Cho’Gath ult. In the teamfight after that, he made a “Freedom Ult” to Varus yet again and completely lost the teamfight.

After that, SSG took Baron, and it was GG

For the last two teamfights, if SKT had just pulled of R from Tristina’s keyboard they would not have lost the teamfight so badly.

> I know I shouldn’t, but I legit threw up with disgust seeing Bang smile post-match.

> Even after he inted at Game 2 and Game 3, he looked so happy and lighthearted.

> Besides him his friend was crying his eyes off, and he was the worst player by far, yet that smile…

To all these Haters who are dissing Bang at the moment…

For once, you guys are at right.

> Funny thing is, it’s not only this time; Bang’s been sloping since Rift Rivals but all these “Bang Mums” has been licking his ass. Can’t forget that they’ve been flaming Blank, Untara, Huni, Peanut even to their parents.

Faker will raise his head once again.

> Watching Faker cry was almost scary. After winning so many times, he’s still so hungry to win. Next year and even the year after, he will continue to be the best. Faker, cheer up.

After the Finals, I realized that I wasn’t necessarily a SKT fan.

The defeat to Samsung itself, I did not feel anything. But the moment I saw Faker’s tears, I realized that I was Faker’s fan for life.

> If he goes to LPL next year, I support whatever that LPL team is.

> Maybe I’ve been supporting SKT because I didn’t want to see Faker lose?

> Been a LoL grub since 2013, and that makes me emotionally attached to Faker. He was always the one with the least emotional expression, and to watch him cry, I cry too.

> Because it was so obvious who was responsible for the result that made Faker cry, I am even more irritated as a fan. Never seen a Worlds Final defeat because a very specific member of the team threw, and threw extremely hard.

Faker was planning to go to the army after winning this year’s Worlds. A drawing by Faker. He goes to the army after 2017, and comes back at 2020.

> Can Bang go to army for Faker’s sake too, and serve for 42 months?
