Thanks so much to the LPL for this project! It's been a long time coming for this video. They 1st reached out to me before worlds started and we were looking to do a video on one of the star players in the LPL. We were looking a lot at RNG Xiao Hu but when he got Eliminated by EDG we decided on Flandre instead. Hope you guys enjoy the video. Thanks so much for another great year!

I was in China in a bar next to a big chinese university watching the match when we won worlds. It was absolute CHAOS in the streets after the win. College students were running in their underwear in the streets waving the EDG flag with fans following them. the police where not even bothered chasing them out, most of them play league as well. You had motorcades of fans on electric scooters waving the EDG flag and shouting EDG NIUBI it was absolutely mad. The EDG fan base in china runs way deeper than the RNG, IG or FPX fanbase. EDG was literally built from the ground by Clearlove who was one of the OGs in team WE who was alongside OMG one of the first chinese teams to make a mark on the global league scene. People who in S2-3 were supporting WE where most likely supporting EDG right after the whole team left. The wild celebrations after EDG won worlds was one of the first ever times I've seen true nationalism in china. Not a bunch of old lost generation boomers waving the flag for some CCP propaganda olympic win, but a new generation of people who as a nation are proud of the accomplishments of our people and not of the communist party.

@@luowilson7536 because Chinese Olympic medals are usually a product of the Chinese system and not because the athletes actually want to be there. I read that some of the kids who eventually become Olympic gold medal divers don't even know how to swim when they are selected for the Chinese Olympic team, because they have "good body control and steady feet". Then the Chinese scouts go to their parents and essentially "buy" their children in order to put them through some really, really tough training, that isolates them from anything that isn't the sport, in order to achieve perfection. The end results are pretty impressive, but then we get things like the random interview in Beijing 2008 where the athlete was asked about her family and she said "they're not here, and this is not important for me". LoL, and Esports in general, is something that Chinese players actually enjoy and choose to play for themselves. That's why this is actually an accomplishment by Chinese people doing the thing they like, rather than "CCP factory-assembled gold medalists".

@shingon666 ugh what you read is pure bullshit, there's no so called “buying” involved, I have my criticism regarding Chinese sport system, but not this out of space fantasy western propaganda bs. In china we have sport school(体校) that for people purely focus on being athlete, they came from family with nothing that tried to change their fate doing what they love or good at, it is exactly like the NBA players route, and Chinese system gave them a great chance for success, and they improved their livelihoods after that, stop with the fake narrative of they are being forced into doing something they don't like, it's different and hard due to the size of Chinese population, it doesn't mean that they don't have a choice, in fact many of the unaccomplished players retired and still doing decently as coach for children.

I'm personally not sure if they were the second or third seed, but they were definitely widely acknowledged as the second best Korean team. In addition, Korea had 4 seeds and hle was definitely the play in team. But otherwise it was quite interesting to learn about Flandre so thanks for the video. Also another unconfirmed tidbit is that dwg was actually consistently losing to edg in scrims throughout worlds.
