He skimmed a lot towards the end because Bang was waiting for him so that they could play Overcooked 2

MISC stuff

He played against GEN.G and BLG with a cold

  • “I caught a cold during Worlds, was it the semifinals” I played while feeling sick and it lasted for quite a while, about 2 weeks. I keep coughing and had a runny nose so I became Runny Nose Hyuk.”
  • Says that Oner has rhinitis, so he is always sniffing

On Zeus

  • Looking at his friend list, wondered where Zeus went [because he was online] and to give lots of support to him
  • Later on, says “Hey everyone. How should I say this? Regarding our Zeus. Anyway, I personally think its fine to react and such. What's the word? Rather than criticizing too much, it would be good if we can try to approach each other with understanding. As our thoughts on the situation might be different so while someone can share their thoughts & another person can disagree with/ that, it would be really good if we could try to understand each other's differences. Our opinions can be different so in addition, the situation in reality could be different from how everyone views it so. That's always the case.”

On the opening ceremonies

  • Asks if the pigeon at the start of the Finals teaser is hired
  • Says that he is like Bin with how they both shared one PCs with their dads
  • Chuckles at Zeus saying that the Worlds 2022 loss made him angry
  • Says that Zeus and Oner are good at reading their lines, making it seemed not scripted
  • Laughs at Keria and Zeus’s nephews
  • Likes the Still here song but doesn’t know the story behind it
  • Says Zeus looks funny, Asks why Oner looks like he closed his eyes, says Gumayusi looks sleepy, Keria looks the most normal during the Finals Walkouts
  • Says he that when he first listened to Heavy is the Crown thought it was very Linkin Park style? Then learned that it was. Says that when he was younger, he listened to a lot of Linkin Park when playing.
  • Chat asks him if he was standing on tiptoes during the faceoff with BLG, he says that he couldn’t because he was standing next to short Keria

Funny donations

  • Listens to donations for 40 minutes to make sure he thanks everyone.
  • Donations eventually get delayed by more than 20 minutes
  • Says he hasn’t chosen a skin yet so there are lots of Yone and Galio fans begging for skins. He teases both of them
  • Asks isn’t Yone’s base skin the best? Then says he will do Smolder instead
  • Says there is a lot of Yone and Galio skins. Says that Aurora is pitiful because she only has one skin. 
  • Gets a donation with someone spamming Galio like 20 times
  • Someone asks him if the 6th trophy is for Doran
  • Got excited at a donation saying there is a new Jump King map

Skin Polls

  • Runs a skin poll with Yone, Galio, Sylas, Zilean, and Akali
  • Yone wins with 47%, Galio 22%, Sylas 18%, Zilean 8%, and Akali 5%
  • Surprised that Zilean got a lot of votes

On the Fan getting on stage

  • "Oh the audience who came up on stage? I didn't know who it was but he suddenly came up to us going, "Faker!! MY GOAT!!!" Then the security came and dragged him away. I said thank you to him and the guards. But suddenly he tried to kiss me so I dodged."

T1 vs TES

Game 1

  • He did things differently with Doran ring start on Sylas instead of doran shield/corrupting poition like what other people usually did. 
  • Took a good trade on Creme’s Tristana at 10 minutes, Creme ended up being 10 cs down because of it
  • Wondered why Keria’s Bard ulted the Tian’s Ivern. Keria was predicting the Creme jump
  • Teamfight at 22 minutes near mid tower could have been better but Zeus’s Camille got hit by the Leona ult and had to flash out
  • Said they got lucky at 25 minutes near baron when TES catches Oner’s Sejuani
  • Baron gave TES a slow so it took longer to kill Oner. Allowing T1 to then push TES away. 
  • If this didn’t happen, TES could have set up vision and push back T1 
  • Meiko was out of position at 27 minutes so T1 was able to wipe out TES in the top jungle
  • Mentioned that he said to the team that the game wasn’t over but the kids were too excited and wanted to end. They were too far from the Baron at that point so they had to commit to the end.
  • Called for the disengage earlier, but Oner and Gumayusi were pushing each other off the hextech portal so they ended up being late to the baron
  • Wondered why the fight was pretty close despite the game state, it was because the Baron’s lighting strike attack only hit T1

Game 2

  • Talked about his pick for first blood on Tian’s Viego, he walked around the rift herald pit and got into the river bush. TES must have thought he was walking through the top river so he was able to surprise Tian.
  • At 30 minutes, Opponents should have disengaged but Tian and Meiko’s Rell were standing around because they were desperate to not give up baron

Game 3

  • Creme’s Sylas should have killed them all at 9 minutes in the top lane if he used his abilities
  • Zeus’s Gnar and him saw the angle and turned the fight
  • Was wondering why JackeyLove’s Kai’sa got hooked by Keria’s Pyke in the mid lane. JackeyLove thought that the Cannon would move down so he was “offside” and died.
  • 23 minutes in said that the fight should have been better

T1 vs GEN

Game 1

  • Called Peyz’s Ziggs cute when he failed W over the wall, said that it must have been nerve-wracking, being in the Semi-Finals
  • Said that they should have went on Kiin’s Renekton at 11 minutes but they weren’t on the same page
  • Wondered where everyone went at 19 minutes, they should be focusing tower but Oner’s Skarner and Zeus’s Gragas were running away so he was left alone. Wasn’t too bad, Chovy’s Sylas also burned his hourglass which was big.
  • Said snowball happened because of this, Chovy was trying to steal the Baron but didn’t see  Yone’s third Q was up and died
  • Later complained about Gumayusi and Zeus not using ults at the game-winning fight to get a better angle but it didn’t matter

Game 2

  • Said he made a mistake using stolen Kai’sa ult when he got caught out and the game became hard
  • Reviewed for 1 minute and then left for the restroom and told the chat to review game 3 as homework

Game 3

  • Said he didn’t play the laning phase well, should have had a huge advantage so it was disappointing
  • Thought that the voidgrub fights was free when Chovy’s Ahri showed in the bot lane but Gen.G fought anyways and got a huge advantage. Game was over.
  • Said whoever dies is a criminal in their game state, called Oner and Gumayusi criminals 
  • Gen.G went for a bush camp but he used Akali E to check the bush and found Lehends’s Rell. Said he made a mistake using Shroud too early, but it didn’t matter game was over

Game 4

  • Trade on Chovy’s Tristana went really well, the Ahri vs Tristana matchup should not go that way
  • Wondered why Lehend didn’t Maokai W at 6 minutes, instead he got hooked and died. Mentioned that even if he intended to get hit he should have moved back to dodge the Pyke E.
  • Same thing in the top lane at 7 minutes
  • At 17 minutes when Varus ult caught him, Lehends should have used Maokai ult but thinks that because he was 0-3. He chose to save it. Game was already over at that point.
  • Wondered why his charm went out weird at 20 minutes, it was because of Maokai Q
  • Was wondering how he got caught at the game-winning teamfight, he said it was because of the edge of the Maokai ult so he was more focused on that. He should have reacted to Poppy.

T1 vs BLG

Game 1

  • Early trade on Knight’s Sylas was good, but the next trade was bad. Wondered why he didn’t use Yone e sideways or W too late.
  • Bin’s Rumble made a mistake during the gank allowed Zeus to Gnar E out. Xun also made a mistake by not Skarner Eing Zeus upwards.

Game 2

  • Mentioned that BLG should have killed him at Herald fight but they made a mistake and the game was just over

Game 3

  • Oner should have walked the other way but even despite BLG burning 3 flashes. Game was screwed.

Game 4

  • For the Ziggs solokill, said he was wondering why Ziggs was playing like he had someone behind him. He called the bluff and Elk uses his Satchel so he went for the kill.

  • Complaining about someone in his team saying that Elk and Knight had flashes up during the Sylas Rakan ult play. Said if he knew that they didn’t have flashes he wouldn’t have used flash

  • Thought that they were in trouble because Zeus was messing around in the mid lane instead of running to Baron.

  • Takes a moment to chuckle at Keria facepalming

  • Said Sejuani was too fat so he couldn’t see her stacks when he dove in the bottom lane so he died

Game 5

  • Knight didn’t need to flash
  • Said he flash went off in a weird direction then got annoyed that BLG question marked pinged him
  • When he saw Knight bought Hourglass thought that they would win, wasn’t a hourglass game for Ahri
  • For the dragon fight at 28 minutes, Keria’s Poppy was trying to E Elk into a wall but he took too much damage because of Kai’Sa’s E.
  • Ward in the River also died before he could TP to it. If that TP had gone off the fight would have been much better but the fight quickly went downhill
  • Annoyed at Zeus leashing Scuttle for Bin, annoyed at Zeus using Gragas Q too early on the Scuttle, annoyed at Zeus mistiming his Gragas R on Knight’s hourglass
  • Called everyone weird in the team fight, said that only Gumayusi was playing naturally, doing everything she could besides early Xayah R
  • Knight made a big mistake tunnel visioning on Oner
  • When he made the turn thought that Ahri still had her hourglass up so he went for the kill as fast as possible. Kai’Sa also got hit by everything
  • Said that if Kai’Sa didn’t have hourglass, Zeus and him would have 2v4 BLG
  • mentioned he checked if Zeus’s head was bleeding, then goes to play Overcooked 2
