Not sure if you follow MagiKarpUsedFly on Youtube (he’s a League streamer), but he basically said the same thing. He didn’t have any interest in watching Worlds Finals this year because it was two teams in which he had no stake, but that after seeing Faker’s emotion, it really made him interested in the next season.… Read more
