#LeagueOfLegends
World Championship.
Full statement below:

I wholeheartedly congratulate your first World Championship in seven years, your fourth World…
Faker turned on stream:
@faker
: "I actually prepped a variety of contents today. I know you guys are alone at home at Christmas, so I wanted to hang with you guys."
Faker I feel personally violated
Keria: I don't know how honest I should be given how many fans are watching this interview right now.
But if I honestly express how I felt at the given moment;
The series made me doubt my entire life. I was so frustrated and angry, that is why I cried.
#Worlds2022
BeryL: "I'll be honest -- I asked the Riot skin design team whether I can draw reference to a character in another game [for my
#Worlds2022
skin].
They said yes, so I got embarrassed and showed the Riot skin team picture of my character. I got publically executed."
The youngest mid laner to win Worlds.
The oldest player to win Worlds, ten years later.
The first spring, the last river,
The highest mountain, the final horizon upon the sky
All roads have always led to him, and so will.
The South Korean football team has quoted Deft's famous
#Worlds2022
quote after beating Portugal:
중요한 것은 꺾이지 않는 마음
"The important thing is the unbreakable spirit"
#WorldCup
Korean fans have given
Antonio Mateu Lahoz, the referee for
#WorldCup
Argentina vs Netherlands, a new nickname: "Twisted Fate" for the number of yellow cards he gave away
"How is he keep drawing and landing gold cards after gold cards? Better TF player than ShowMaker."

Keria: OK, can I be super honest here? I THINK our eyes met. She told us fighting. Do you know what I think? Anyway, she told us fighting.

posted for the first time since
#Worlds2022
finals:
"It took a while for me to gather my thoughts and words.
I really wanted to hold back my tears, but when I had to face the [DRX] players and share congratulations, I think I was overtaken with emotions..(1/6)"
Deft:
"Keria used to always tell me that he will be the one to get me a worlds trophy.
It is time for him to keep his promise. I will win against him."

Faker in press conference, on whether he is sticking around:
"I am contracted, I will be continuing to work at
@T1LoL

I have been learning and growing a lot throughout my career as a professional player, it's a rare opportunity for a human being.
I will say I will continue…

@T1Keria
: "Look, I only thought about making a Lux skin. I never thought about any other skin. So I went to the Riot meeting and spent most of my time talking about Lux."
Keria: "I asked them to make it pretty, and they said they can make Bard pretty too. And I just frowned-_-"
A PLEA to
@lolesports
For next year's worlds, please make a RISE-esque music video but following Deft's journey throughout
#Worlds2022
and throw Arcane production team at it
Respectably, League fans around the world
24 hours after
#Worlds2022
, Deft finally shared his thoughts on winning worlds:
"Now that some time has passed, it hits me that none of this has been a dream.
Every day, I was told I won't win worlds. That I am done, because of my injuries, or because I am too old.. (1/3)
ShowMaker: After the series, I was zoned out for a while. But look, guys, that's life. Life has failures.
Khan told us this will be his last moment and he said he rather it be light-hearted. So we all came in here and decided to enjoy ourselves at this press conference.

#Breaking
I'm not a player. I do not know what it's like to be a player
To win, to take the noise-cancelling headsets off after a series and hear the deafening crowd cheer for you; or to lose, the long walk through the back stage then the shuttle home then the empty hotel room (1/3)
Zeus, aged 16. Former
@T1LoL
trainee.
He will be eligible to play during the upcoming LCK spring split
Numerous LCK players, coaches, analysts have quoted Zeus as "the top laner to keep an eye out for"
I've never seen a player get this hyped up before his debut since Keria

People will not be able to police another person's friendship
However, people WILL be able to feel dissapointed by that person's choice of friendship, the initiative to double down on publicizing it. People will be able to judge you and consequently G2 for it

T1 vs JDG
To this date
I still think about the fact that 2020 DRX players (Keria, Chovy, Doran, and Pyosik) would couch-surf at Deft's house for days
Deft would stream, and the five players would often do silly things like eat delivery food or lie on the bed and watch YouTube videos
T1 Keria's mother posted several "motivational quotes" on Insta:
1. You can focus on what you are good at, then do them better!
2. It's okay to be slow, it's okay to be fast. Everyone comes at a different speed.
3. You try, and fall; and that's how you learn to step back up!
I asked Faker "Is it true that you almost said
#LCS
is the best region in the world?"
@faker
: I think LCS is the best region in the world.
@T1Keria
: I think so, too, I agree.
Faker: They have the potential to be the best in the world.

Deft on stream today:
"We all went to Grand Canyon by a helicopter. But while I was on the helicopter, I got the feeling we'd crash and I would die. I felt as if -- me dying then and there would complete the story, a perfect ending.
Well, I didn't die. Nice."

@T1Keria
has been doing better with every single Worlds 👀
2020: Made quarterfinals, got eliminated by DWG BeryL
2021: Made semifinals, got eliminated by DK BeryL
2022: Made finals, got eliminated by DRX BeryL
2023: No BeryL ... Wins finals?!

Gumayusi:
"I think Faker might pick Ahri for
#Worlds2023
skin. Oh, it's a spoiler? Didn't he say it at the interview? Well, he may pick Ahri, or he might pick something else ..."
After the
#MSI2023
GEN vs C9, I saw
@EMENESlol
deep in conversation with
@j1hu1V_chovyI
I later asked EMENES what the convo was about, and EMENES said he was getting feedbacks from Chovy and which areas he himself could improve upon
A huge respect for EMENES; winner mindset
Oner: I don't know what will happen with this roster next year, but I am already [happy] that the team with these five players have lifted Worlds trophy.

"I've been playing NA solo queue. They have been much more difficult than worlds. So I believe NA had a good chance next year."

@T1LoL
During my
#LEC
appearance, I got comments from a minority of the Korean community that I look too fat to be on the broadcast, that they don't like seeing a she-hulk on stream
I do realize that they are an extreme minority
But it's difficult to meet their beauty standards
Faker: I feel happy.
To be honest -- I was just grateful that I could play in front of these people. To be honest, whether I won or lost today did not matter too much. I was just grateful that I could play.

Narrator: KT Rolster chose

as their opponent in Round 2 of the
#LCK
Playoffs.
Faker: "Thank you for all the Christmas gifts. But I'd prefer you guys send me letters than physical goods; it's difficult for me to use all that stuff.
And rather than giving me physical gifts, share that around with people around you. Your thoughts are good enough for me."
Theory: Players elected to
@lolesports
Hall of Legends will receive their OWN skins, to be forever memorized in League history.
This is why Faker is not getting an Ahri for his Worlds skin. Ahri will be Faker's Hall of Legends skin.
Throughout history, we saw players ascend to the highest levels. But now, a new tier is born.
Introducing the Hall of Legends.
Where greatness will be immortalized.

Today with Zeka
@gun8952
:
- Zeka, why do you keep using your Yasuo ult on Heimedinger?"
Zeka: "... I didn't know you had to place the cursor on the target I want to Yasuo ult on, I didn't know it was a thing on Yasuo. Only found out after the game"
- ... Wow
The amount of people who are talk downing
@T1LoL
or pinpoint certain players on T1 - Zeus was terrible, Oner tilted, Faker dipped - Is astounding
T1 played extremely well and definitely at the calibur of a worlds finalist. It simply was the case DRX was strong; extremely strong
Thank you for having me,
@LEC
It has been a surreal experience to be able to stand on the

TheShy on Hanni being a top laner:
"My favorite [NewJeans member] Hanni, happens to be a top laner.
I appreciate it.
My advice to Hanni on playing Garen is -- It's a champion that requires one to play aggressively and with pressure. So my advice to her is to not be afraid and…
Year 2013: Yasuo is yet to be released, old graphics Baron, razorbeaks are wraiths
Faker is the GOAT and breaking records
Years 2022: Zeri and Renata have been released, Hextech Dragon exists, League grew into a multi-million $ industry
Faker is the GOAT and breaking records
I will be appearing on the

broadcast today. It will be my first time in my career appearing on a live broadcast in person
I am scared
Wish me luck
