[하로 @alwaysdoran_]

TO MY CHOI HYEONJOON,

My top laner.

It was truly a difficult year for you, wasn't it? There were so many ups and downs, moments when things didn't go your way, moments when you struggled to find your footing, and moments when you perhaps weren't able to perform the way you wanted to. But there were also moments when you reminded everyone, including me, just how much potential you carry and how incredible you can be when everything falls into place.

I'd be lying if I said I was never disappointed. There were games when I wished things had gone differently, when I found myself frustrated with your decisions and performances. But I guess that's what makes this love and support mean so much to me. Despite all those feelings, despite the difficult moments, my affection for you never really wavered. Because how can I call myself your fan if I only choose to stand beside you when you're at your best, but disappear when you find yourself at your lowest? How can I hold your mistakes against you when I know that, more than anyone watching from the other side of the screen, you are probably the one hurting the most?

I hope you learn to be kinder to yourself, Hyeonjoon.

As this year comes to an end, and we find ourselves without another title to celebrate, I hope you allow yourself to let go of the mistakes you made on the Rift. I hope you don't spend too much time dwelling on the games you wish you could play again, the decisions you wish you could take back, or the moments when you felt you could have done better. Instead, I hope you take a moment to look back at how far you've come. Pat yourself on the shoulder. Give yourself the credit you deserve. You made it through another demanding year, carrying expectations, pressure, and so many things that perhaps the people watching will never fully understand.

Please know that somewhere out here, there is someone who remains incredibly proud of you. Not just for your victories, your good games, or the moments when you make everyone cheer, but also for the times you struggled, picked yourself up, and continued showing up despite everything. I am proud of the player you are, but even more than that, I hope you are proud of the person you have become through all these years.

And when next year comes, wherever life and your career may lead you, I hope you never doubt that there will still be people cheering for you. I will be one of them. Whether you stay or leave, whether you find yourself lifting another trophy or going through another difficult season, I will continue to wish you nothing but the best.

After all, you are the very reason I am here. You are the reason I found myself caring so deeply about this chaotic little world of competitive League of Legends. You brought me here, and somewhere along the way, supporting you became something I could never imagine giving up so easily. I don't know what the future holds, but I know that wherever your journey takes you, a part of my heart will always follow.

You did well, my Choi Hyeonjoon. Even if this year didn't end the way we hoped, I hope you know that it was never a wasted journey. I hope you find happiness in the things you do, peace in the decisions you make, and the courage to keep chasing the dreams that brought you here in the first place.

I am proud of you. Always.

I'm sorry for the times I let my disappointment speak louder than my understanding. Thank you for giving me so many reasons to stay, to believe, and to keep cheering. And I hope, in all the years that lie ahead, you will never forget that you are loved beyond the trophies you win and the games you play.

I'm sorry. Thank you. I love you, my top laner.

@AmanteCelestine @peyzranie No announcement yet.

I've been thinking about putting this account to rest after Doran's contract announcement and returning once the offseason comes to an end.

If the changes do happen, this account will most likely become dedicated solely to Doran's new journey and whatever team he finds himself on next. There will be little to no DOFPK content here moving forward, unless he's part of it.

Looking back, I specifically curated this account to be my safe place and personal archive for DOFPK, and honestly, I've had so much fun along the way. But at the same time, this account has always been dedicated to the player on my icon. So if he really does find himself wearing a different jersey next year, then this account will follow him into that new chapter, too.

I will never forget the memories I've made with DOFPK, nor will I forget all the moments and content I've collected and shared here. This account holds so much of what I've cherished over the years, and I will always look back on it fondly. However, depending on what unfolds next week, a major transition may be waiting for this little corner of mine.

To my DOFPK, you will always be one of my greatest treasures. No matter where the next chapter takes us, that will never change.

Thank you for all the memories. I love you, always. ❤️

I am not asking you to love him the way we Dotoris do. All I am asking is that you treat him with respect and kindness.

You don't have to love someone to respect them, nor do you have to be fond of someone to treat them with kindness.

@Mingzhao030 Good morning, Mingzhao. Yes, yes you can. I would appreciate it too if you could credit me to it if that's okay?

I hope you can translate it and convey my message beautifully.

Thank you.

@shastadaisy221 HAHAHAHAHA THAT WAS NICE!

@Edu_maroto2308 If you have a problem with me hoping that the world will be just a little kinder to a player I've wholeheartedly supported, then please, feel free to block me. I will never apologize for choosing to extend basic human kindness to someone I care about.

[하로 @alwaysdoran_]

Criticism is perfectly valid. Did I ever say otherwise? Am I treating him as someone who should be exempt from criticism simply because he's a player I support? No. I'm treating him as a human being who, just like everyone else, is allowed to make mistakes and be held accountable for them. But criticism driven by malice, personal attacks disguised as feedback, and outright cruelty are not constructive criticism. They are simply hate, and we shouldn't have to pretend otherwise.

Wishing for the world to be a little kinder to him doesn't mean I'm treating him like a child or putting him on some untouchable pedestal. It means I recognize that, beyond being a professional player, he is a human being who deserves the same basic decency and respect as anyone else. That should never be such a difficult concept to understand. I'm not asking anyone to stop criticizing him. I'm asking people to remember that there is a line between holding someone accountable and deliberately tearing them down.

May the world learn to be a little kinder to you, my boy. 🫳

Oh, my dear. I hope that in the next years, you'll look back to this year and tell yourself, "yea, I survive that."

Good job, Minxi! Let's keep trying again next year 🫳

🐿️ I think there were moments when I personally didn't perform as well as I wanted to since I believe that contributed to our loss I’m left with a lot of regret and disappointment.
🐿️ I thought we’re be able to put on a much better performance at this Worlds but unfortunately, things ended this way today.
🐿️ so I don’t really have anything else to say other than how disappointing it is.

🐯: hoo i came here way too late didn't i ?
🐯: and just like this, the year is coming to an end
🐯: this year too, thank you so much to all the fans that supported me
🐯: i feel such a deep sense of regret, but
🐯: i feel relieved that it's over too

Suhwan, I hope you know just how proud I am of the player you have become. We've been through so much together over the years, haven't we? I've watched you grow, overcome challenges, and find your place among the very best. And yet, even after all this time, every time you take your seat on that stage, you never fail to amaze me. There is always something about watching you play that reminds me why I believed in you in the first place.

This year was difficult, too. So many things didn't go as we had hoped. No trophy to lift, opportunities that slipped away, and disappointments that I know must have weighed heavily on you. But my son, I hope you don't let any of those moments overshadow how far you've come. Let this loss fuel you. Let it give you another reason to work harder, dream bigger, and come back with an even stronger heart. I hope you never lose that spark that made me fall in love with watching you play.

But above everything else, I want to thank you for coming to T1. Thank you for becoming part of this team and giving us another reason to look forward to every game. Having you here has meant so much, and I genuinely hope that this chapter brings you all the happiness and success you deserve.

Next year, we'll try again. And the year after that, too. We still have so many memories to make, so many battles to fight, and so many dreams left to chase.

To the best jungler I have ever known, I know this year has been a difficult one. There were opportunities missed, battles that didn't go our way, and dreams we had hoped to fulfill but couldn't quite reach. But please remember, you are the Owner of the Rift for a reason.

May this difficult year fuel the fire within you, strengthen your resolve, and reignite that desire to chase the trophy once again. We may have fallen short this time, but there will always be another opportunity to rise, another season to fight for, and another dream to pursue.

Next year, we'll try again. And the year after that, and the year after that. There is still so much ahead of you, Oner, so many more memories to make and victories to claim. I believe in your journey, your potential, and the greatness that awaits you.
