It’s been a while since the event, but here are just a couple of reactions!
Incredibly positive and happy, as expected.
Chinese Comments from Post-Game Thread
硬实力上确实就京东还能摸到一点。。但英雄池和战术被完爆了。。skt目前可以说是独一档了 = It’s true that capability-wise, JDG can match a little bit. But the champion pool and tactics are out of the question. SKT can be said to be one of a kind at the moment.
Translation of this giant Faker praise: Faker is amazing in that he has never lost his loyalty to his team, he remains quietly humble, still strong and capable, works hard, is thrifty, and enjoys reading as a hobby. Ordinary people who win will start to decline, but he won three yet remains at the top, and makes it to the finals very often, it’s like a script. Although I don’t like Korea as a country, Faker, as a Korean, deserves respect. He gives the game so much to talk about. Disregarding his video game skills, his lifestyle is worth looking up to.
Not going to lie, these longer Chinese comments are pretty emotional and very respectful toward T1 and Faker. I’ll post two more.
All the Respect from Chinese Netizens
You once had the best teacher leading you, the best ADC helping you create results, the best support helping you in sticky situations, and the best jungler helping you create resources. Now you still want to move forward, so you started to lead and picked up the burden of moving the team forward.
You told the world that humans could fight time. I once was at the top of the mountain and was also at the bottom of the valleys. This is the best way to describe you.
Last year, you lost the championship. This year at summer split, you were 1/7. Now at this year’s Worlds, one against four, this T1 team deserves the World Cup. Congratulations, you all demonstrated that you are, unquestionably, the strongest five players.
Congratulations Faker for four championships, and congratulations to the other T1 members for their first.
Success is temporary in life, failure is the main theme. However, how you face failure is what sets people apart. Some people get crushed by failure, and others continuously get back up and keep on going. Real maturity isn’t chasing perfection, but facing your own shortcomings.
From S6 to S13, now standing on top of the world once more.
The first three championships were for me.
The fourth is for my teammates.
Absolute talent makes him the king of mechanics, but only unrelenting dedication and passion can make him the wall of the forbidden army. I am the Chosen One and the Only One.
Congratulations, Faker! Congratulations, T1!

Real-Time Comments from Korean Netizens
작년에도 저거 만들어뒀을거 생각하면 마음 한켠이 쓰리네 = When I think about making it last year, I feel sad.
Translation of this comment: Zeus barely spoke or changed his facial expression throughout the match, but in the last minute of the third set, he pushed the nexus and his expression relaxed. Like he was really focused
작년에 우는거 너무 슬펐는데 드디어 웃는구나 = It was so sad to cry last year, but you’re [Keria] finally laughing.
이새기들 표정보니깐 걍 재계약 각이네 전원 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ = Looking at these faces, everyone seems to be renewing their contracts.
