[Knowing Bros] How I debuted as an E-sports gamer, overcoming parental opposition😲 (Thanks to Faker)

[@maverillion4610]

It’s pretty impressive that Guma’s dad actually gave him a chance and said, do it if you can. Most Asian parents (like mine) would instantly shut it down and say stop wasting your life

[@hermansnazzledorf2950]

Since his older brother had already become a pro-gamer, his father knew it was a possible career but also understood better than most how low the chances of succeeding are.

[@Deymetrey]

his father is part of the starcraft generation of koreans after all

[@jieldcroas]

Also, there was faker that already famous at that Time so it was possible if he have skill

[@hjupi8440]

It is believed that asian parents would reject the decision like that but if you are really commited to your decision they would definitely support it. They just dont want you to waste your life by making stupid decisions.

[@jarinemarrane]

Guma's dad was the one who encouraged Innovation to go pro because he was a Starcraft player himself and recognized his talent for esports. He wasn't as familiar with LoL so they set a deal with Guma before letting him join as a trainee.
Guma's siblings have careers in art too which is quite admirable since a lot of parents would rather have their kids be in corporate/law/medicine.

[@kuroro4958]

Faker dropping the "wasn't a thing during my time" is so legend coded

[@lordmerikh]

Its like... "I was there when it was written"

[@asakiesan4444]

@@lordmerikh he's the start of legend hahaha

[@mr.fortunewr8399]

Faker is 28 years old and still dominating worlds. What a Chad. 🗿

[@giovanidejesus9100]

oh, the Korean age

[@llyonnel2847]

in other country he is just 27

[@Dyna1One]

Honestly there’s f1 drivers quarterbacks and other athletes in their mid 30’s early 40’s, as long as he keeps his passion for the game and continues to work age really doesn’t matter that much (yes you slow down.. by mere percentages over a decade)

[@reysolo3672]

27. Korean age or chinese age is just b.s

[@thestoebz]

28 is super young

[@123playwright]

Normal Asian parent: Get an A+
Guma's dad:

[@lixarion1885]

I mean, his dad is a gamer so he understands how the game works 😂

[@tuanrumah4766]

I always like Oner's confidence, that's how a jungler should be, always confident and not afraid to take risks.

[@chckmp]

Think about it for a second, there's an alternate reality where Faker never went pro and maybe became a Doctor or a Businessman. Just wild.

[@AlexNY999]

I like how Guma said "Say less" to his father and then proceeded to get to challenger 😂

[@nolascobeca]

4:52 Keria struggling with informal speech was so cute lmaoo

[@sennataylor592]

Very happy to see T1. Congrats on winning 2023 Worlds!!!

[@AndreggvilJammer]

[@bccchn]

[@MuhdAmier-iv8pr]

[@jcguidotti5934]

And you know rekkles was a godtier support on T1A

[@EmikoZue]

@@MuhdAmier-iv8prI mean, all t1’ second team members are from the academy and their ages are between 16-18 years old lol. His case is a really special one

[@DanteLovesPizza]

And now he's a Worlds champion with his name etched on the Summoner's Cup.

[@muggs105]

what a great way to know more about the team.

[@Arthurdoar]

6:22 Faker: Pro-gamers usually reach the peak of their careers in their late 10s and early 20s mostly.

[@ryugaroxas]

THANK YOU FOR AMAZING CONTENT , T1 talk is the best

[@earthorigin8212]

Whos here after they won worlds back to back?

[@julia_likeschicken]

[@TMeiMei0021]

Yes.

[@rayaqin]

[@ardentares1167]

[@jms6935]

[@rinxelovault4858]

They reach the challenger in middle school at top tier server, when I am struggling in master on low tier server at 27 years old 😂.

[@leaguefixesyourmatches8259]

You got this bro. You can do u it!

[@kim_lia457]

Faker looks so young. I thought he is younger than me hahaha

[@winwings2277]

Our GOAT FAKEEERRRRRR

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

[@gabriieIl]

[@clouduniicorn]

t1 aaaaa

[@nothingjustchillinn]

Guma Dad : Prove it.
Guma : And he did prove it by winning 2 world back to back. GIGACHAD for a reason. ❤
(context T1 VS Gen G teaser world 2024)

[@yanstrato449]

Oner achieved challenger at 12th grade and Zeus laugh at him. But still, oner was selected as the star player of T1 and has been dominating the game as their Jungler.
Take aways: it is never too late to become the person you always thought you could be. 😎

[@max-7404]

he didnt laugh at him he laughed about the joke he made of himself

[@mochou_u]

Zeus said himself that oner is a prodigy

[@_Yagyaseni]

Everything is nice but I am fan of godlike team❤ 😅

[@zuzu7308]
