5, 10, 20, years from now on and beyond, I think I will still listening to Red Velvet with warm heart..
Their song is beautiful, bring so much happiness and joy.. and also being Luvies, is one of the best era in my life, Iโm just grateful ๐๐๐๐๐
I've been telling so many people this but here's a small snippet summary of PS LoL's take on the game set 4 draft:
- T1 picked Lucian/Milio over Ashe/Seraphine due to previous upsets + Lucian has higher survival (solo) than Ashe/Seraphine โบ BUT was this the best choice? Victor + Ashe/Seraphine have much longer range than Lu/Mil. Then T1 must pick another long-range champion to make up for this pick. AND they MUST push lane harder than their opponents.
- In order to counter Renekton in the 4th set, with Gragas gone, T1 had to go for more extreme picks. Otherwise, T1's comp cannot withstand Renekton's power. T1 must earn more in the early laning phase to make up for the short range champs they have. Renekton is the ideal champ to stop this. So they had no other choice but to bite the bullet and pick Vayne. However, this is the worst situation that they made [through the ban/pick phase].
- Reasons why this was the worst possible matchup:
Vayne is also a short-range champ, she cannot make up for the lack of range in this comp. Victor/Ashe/Seraphine all out-range her and are in their comfort zone. BLG's pick was very obvious a TOP focused pick, and Wukong is a passive champ. Vayne must play very aggressively against Renekton to win lane. Doran basically is walking on a tightrope alone in this situation. It is very risky and difficult pick. Although in theory it's not understandable, it is difficult to say this was a good idea.
-Then what should they have picked? Instead of Vayne, Ornn, Mundo - but they lack value/dps, then we have Jax and Aatrox to prevent ganks and survive. But even then there is no control over the 3 lanes for T1. Then Kennen might have been better as a team-fight oriented pick. But seeing however there are so many discussions on this, I can only imagine that it would have been difficult to handle the draft in a live situation.
As a side note, Vayne picks are not valued favourably due to the nerf patch, really significantly dropping her value. Vayne herself, is not a good pick at all.
If none of these picks are satisfactory, then we have to go back to the point of picking Lucian/Milio when BLG's first pick was Victor.
Rather than saying T1's draft failed miserably, it was more like BLG were the ones in control, setting the stage to their advantage.

*You can turn on the subtitles for automatic translation to English, it does a decent job.
"Honestly, when T1 nearly came back to beat us in game 4, so many scenes flashed through my mind in an instant. But in the end, we did it. People say they ended T1's 13-game winning streak in Worlds BO5s against the LPL and got their revenge. But at the same time, it also made us realize once again that Faker has always been there, from the SKT days through to T1, standing in that spot and waiting for us to challenge him. Having such a respected opponent is also something truly precious and something to be grateful for. He truly deserves so much respect."
The greatness of faker makes this victory so much more meaningful for BLG
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.

โIf one day we beat Faker, let's not trash talk. Instead, we should show him respect and be thankful.โ
โHe could've easily retired at the peak of his career and left untouchable legacy. But he didn't, heโs still there waiting for us to fairly challenge himโ
Hupu Comment:
"Just because we have defeated Faker doesn't mean we should belittle him. On the contrary, we should respect him and be grateful to him.
Faker has already achieved everything there is to achieve, and he could have retired with honor at any time. Had he done so, we would have been left looking at his back for the rest of our lives, knowing we could never catch up to him. But Faker chose not to retire. He is still standing on the frontlines of the World Championship, waiting for us to challenge him. Thanks to that, we have been given the opportunity to defeat him fair and square.
As Faker himself once said, records are meant to be broken. No one can remain undefeated forever. A few years ago, when Faker was going through a difficult period, we belittled him, only to have those very words come back to haunt us. So, if we manage to defeat this legendary player tomorrow, I hope we will accept the victory with even greater humility and composure, without ever losing our respect for our opponent.
Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to Faker, to all the fans who follow League of Legends, and to the LPL players who fought until the very end and never gave up. It is because of all of you that we have witnessed matches worthy of being remembered in history. Those brilliant moments will one day become legends that live forever in all our memories."
