Heartbreak

I watched the world championship finals for League of Legends last night... and I gotta say I've never hurt so bad watching someone else hurt. The team I supported (SKT) went down 0-3 in the most embarrassing fashion... and it's hard because it's literally what I'd predicted would happen. As the first game wrapped up (where the opponents almost had a perfect sweep of a game) I knew I was watching the beginning of the end.

The games were a rollercoaster of disappointment tbh- for a while I thought SKT would have a chance, and in the match-point game I thought they'd win... and maybe make another one of their miraculous reverse-sweep comebacks. Alas, they just fell 0-3 instead, and even though I'm not surprised, it still sucks. Then as the camera panned from the victors to the SKT members, I saw how the star player of SKT, Faker, buried his face in his hands and his whole body shook in the most heartbreaking way. He had to get up and shake hands with the opposing team, which would be the professional custom, so there was that moment of awkwardness where the other team waited as Faker was having a meltdown that's being broadcasted to millions across the world. Ergh

I hate seeing him like this because Faker has won 3 world titles and is commonly known as "the best player in the world". Everyone was bitching about how boring it was that SKT won everything, but I actually liked it... I liked the idea that there was someone SO GOOD that no one would be able to surpass him. To be real, in the end it wasn't like Faker was defeated by the other team, it was more like his own team betrayed him, and then they just shit the bed completely. People often refer to Faker as "God" of this game, and uh, I guess we all saw who Judas was on his team......................

Anyway, I hope Faker will rise again in biblical fashion, because watching him crushed actually hurts. It would be an amazing resurrection story (but he really needs his team mates to stop being dogshit).
