The most important match of the most important tournament of your life is not the time to change the game forever.
When the stakes are at their highest, when everything is on the line, you’re not supposed to do the thing you’ve never done before. You’re not supposed to make everything re-think the way the game is played.
But the ROX Tigers couldn’t resist it. They were innovators, and they weren’t afraid to challenge everything people thought they knew about League of Legends.
But they were the world’s last hope to stop the Demon King from conquering the world.

Key word being “almost”
that patch is the fucking bonkers for zyra in the mid season revamp in all mages, zyra is the obnoxious of all to the support role
If SKT didnt exist, ROX AND RNG WOULD WON THAT
Things the score missed:
-Rox won msi
-Rox beat skt in regular season
-There was a 3 way tie in groups where rox went from going to be eliminated to first in their group
-Rox was 100% the favourites coming into worlds and the skt match
-Bengi never played nidalee professional before the game 4 where they were forced to pick it
-Not only was Smed considered the best in the world but Peanut was considered the best jungler at the time
I’m sure there’s more that I forgot but I’m not paid to research stories.
The bunny costumes and the entrance poses. Cringe
League is filled with soy boys apparently
Great video, make sure to tell 15/16/17 SSG story next time!
Basically they're OG in the LoL world
First world's I ever watched, I was devastated when Rox lost, and I was so sad watching peanut break in SKT, he deserved better
they should do a video on FNATIC during the R6 invitationals on how they came out of no where and bet some of the best teams in R6
Man everytime i watch that semi final match it makes me feel emotional.. I remember it so clearly
basically the korean G2
Where is Hojin right now?
11:21 Tigers Olofboosted SKT
Missing marin’s gnar :/
Damn who's cutting onions
I remember being at this semifinals live. I was so damn close I was watching the game from Peanuts monitor lol.
MSG was too good.
A bunch of misfits…
My mind: Team DC (TI6)
Make a video of it ffs!
I have never played league neither do i watch E sports, but this was nice.
Where's my boi Ryu?
Best Bo5 match in League of Legends history. You can't change my mind.
that lies ending was not what i expected
I will say it again and again WITHOUT bengi rox wins WORLDS 2016 and with/out bengi in WORLDS 2017 SKT cannot win worlds because bengi and faker is combo 100% winning rate at worlds
the best bo5 league ever had
17:03 damn theyd be pretty good as a kpop group
Give credits to bengi
He single-handedly 3-0 the tigers 🙁
Faker didn't do much last 2 games it was bengi who carried the team. Feeding faker enough so that they could win, bengi was always the reason they could never beat skt.
That was supposed to be a Grand Finals game. Blank Bronze Junglet. Bengi saved SKT.
