@@FoxGHosen26 i think they 'broke' league not in the sense that now teams try to copy their styles but in the sense that they were one of the firsts to disregard what was going on in the LPL and in the LCK (Korea pretty much dictated every meta since they got their own server) and played what they wanted, the last time something like this really happened and it was successful was back in the days of Moscow5 if there are even people out there who remember those days. Its not entirely true that the world follows G2s playstyle now, both Korea and China differ from the LEC at some points while they are the same elsewhere. One final and a single title is not enough to break the Asian dominance, only if the West can replicate these kind of finishes consistently. The West now holds 2 official international titles (Season 1 Worlds and MSI 2019) while Asia got everything else, its waaaay too early to talk about a western or a staright up european dominance. However I do agree with the original comment: I thought this video was going to explain why and how G2 was able to e.g. play mages bot consistently, flex Pyke into every position and make it work and how you can play funnel in your regions final and still dominate. Instead, we got a glorified montage with a clickbait title so EU fanboys click to celebrate and talk shit about other regions and NA fanboys click to critique and talk shit about EU. Yay.
@Anson Zhao The reason why I count it is because Fnatic is engraved on the Summoner's Cup since the trophy was made in 2012, TPA being the second to be engraved, which means that Riot has always regarded Season 1 as a real Worlds even if Fnatic got their skins later (2015 or 2016 I'm not quite sure) and even if the official name was Season One Championship without the actual word "world" in it.

i think moving perkz to adc was a genius move. generally speaking, adc is the position that requires the most mechanical accuracy as a player and perkz is probably one of the best purely mechanical players there is. his weakness in midlane was always that he was too aggressive and didnt have great map awareness often times resulting in him getting caught out (which would be the main issue in almost all of g2s losses). in bot lane he always have someone there to pull him back and control that aggression so that is gets used in the right moments. on top of that, scoring the best midlaner in europe to replace him wasnt exactly bad for the team either.
a year late, but moving a Mid to adc is still relatively bad move on their side, Perkz as a player is always a midlaner, even when it comes to his plays, compared to dedicated ADC players of this generation (like Jackylove of IG back in the day, LWX, who schooled him in the finals of 2019, or a better example the Adc he most recently lost the semis to, Ghost). Perkz Plays like a midlaner regardless of where he is, and it's not like Mikyx is doing anything to Reign him in too, if anything Miky facilitates most of Perkz more aggressive playstyles. if Perkz gets a better support, Maybe he'll be a better ADC. but as it stands he's just an assassin that borrowed a longbow from an archer and thanks to his skill is able to hit a few things, but compared to an actual archer would still look relatively child like. (as what happened when he met Dedicated ADCs that were actually better than him.)
@@harutothefriendlyodst7639 I wouldn’t say he plays as a midlaner but rather that he’s overly aggressive like he always is. You saw him struggle in the exact same way when playing against midlaners that were better than him. He doesn’t have an off switch. It would definitely have been good for him to have a support that kept the aggression in check.
Let's look at those irl stats. Oh, hey, London is beating New York in murders now, and is now 45% native white English. Must just be white people oppressing colored people by calling the police after people are -stabbed- culturally enriched multiple times.
@yGLeviathan Through their picks, how they play the jungle and especially how they play their bottom-lane. Griffin, TL, SK-T and many more have all gone on record and said G2 influenced them in how they're practicing team-comps and play-styles. It's the same reason why LCK for so many years set the meta. The succesful play-style will be analyzed and understood, and then you will either play towards countering or mastering it.
Every team that wins the most recent international title changes how the game is played. Going into Worlds last year, everyone wanted to be like RNG. Going into MSI 2019, everyone wanted to play like IG. It's just a cycle and will be the same for G2.

Noah Lee it WAS historic. This is probably the best MSI in League’s history. We saw the defending world champions and the greatest team in history get beat by two teams from the West. Doesn’t get much better than that from a viewer standpoint.

@@RiotBrosGaming No "superteams broke the rules" its only 1 superteam that flex picked and changed LoL in MSI 2019. That is G2. TL had no answer in the drafts.
@@lukemifsud7219 Okay, did you watch the same video as me. Because as far as the title and content of the video, I assume the rule broken was that western teams dont beat eastern teams. Also, G2 isnt the only team flexing picks, they are just doing it to a higher degree (and arguably to a dumber degree).
Thats the thing they didn't change the way the game is played its still played the same way but when g2 plays they force the enemy to play their game they did make pyke top meta tho and TL did that ith lux
@@isaiahmorris9197 tl didnt to it with lux lol. Kr made lux support a thing, and even lux mid wasn't jensen's idea but froggen's. The game did change. A lot. Tanks are useless, except support, a nd like 1 sejuani in a 100 game, wards were nerfed and taken iut and nerfed and shit. This game has changed A LOT and thia g2 would probably be beaten to shit in s7-6 and before
The western team played their own style during the regular season and as soon as it goes to worlds, they tried to play like skt and failed hard. Now that they play their own style international, everyone has adapt to them and finally they can play on their conditions. I think thats the main gap for the best teams of eu/na.
Not really. What is more important is that the "control meta" that dominated professional League has been evened out. This MSI G2 was able to play weird picks like Pyke top and simply win despite heavier scaling on SKT's side. But don't forget SKT still pushed it to game 5. With an entire season to figure things out, Worlds 2019 will be the true test to see if Western teams can close the gap. I blame Invictus losing to TL squarely on a lack of preparation. They completely looked past TL, and basically spent all their time preparing for G2 and SKT. TL for their part was focused entirely on beating Invictus. Which translated into the shortest series ever in international tournament when G2 3-0'd them. NA has performed so poorly historically that I think people forgot they are still a major region. I doubt the same mistake will happen at worlds.
@@jyashin If there is no tank meta korea and china blows and i say it here and after worlds end come back here to like this comment if this will happen. G2 and second slot EU team with probably Kikis on their jungle role will play the final at the worlds 2019. xd

The thing is, people praise Khan so much but all he plays is toplane bullies like kennen and jayce. pyke is a counter to that cus he just soaks up all the poke and stays healthy, basically making pyke a counter to khan. Literally any pro top laner can win toplane matchups by picking kennen or jayce into melee's. Did Khan even play anything else other than those 2 and maybe neeko?
@@neeko708 agreed. Skt's coach really needs to step up because almost all their drafts are really bad and skt's macro in the early game is horrendous which is what all the teams that've won against them so far capitalise on and snowball the game such that skt cant win anymore without their occasional game changing teamfight. But besides that theres also the fact that khan is pretty subpar as far as a Korean player goes. The only games he has done very well so far are mostly when hes on either riven and fiora, much like all the soloq one tricks u see all over. He also doesn't even really synergize well with the team honestly. I've always thought that they should really swap him out for another top laner and skt might see a comeback as one of the top teams.
"For the double, for the ace, for the baron, *for the base."* cutting out the ending bothers me more than it probably should. I beginning to think that Quickshot is a rap god
I switched from league to dota maybe 6 yrs ago, but I never understood why Riot never addressed the region gap by just having more international tournaments. The reason why the gap between teams at the international level in dota isn't too big is because they get to play against each other frequently and make each other better, while still having their own distinct styles.
I am so hyped for the next worlds. G2 is playing amazing. Invictus is out for revenge. Skt is playing peak league of legends atm and they want that crown back.
frosk says "survive longer than Fnatic at worlds" and it just reminds me that everyone called fnatic terrible after they lost worlds. They got second place in the world. That ain't so bad
It's not that being second is bad, it's more how they lost against IG to be honest(fastest final in a World championship and they didn't play as well as group stage-quarters-semis Fnatic, as Fnatic took a game off from IG at Group Stage and they were first in their group If I remember well).
Its the same like Liquid in Final its nice they get there but they lost the hunger to win after semifinal and you can see it. Im self european fan but i expected a better figth from fnc at worlds as also from liquid at msi.
@@aleblasco39 They just weren't the same class as IG, they didn't play worse. They had a free pass all the way to finals, with 100T, Grex, EDG, and C9.
I always cheer for EU teams because they are the only ones that rosters genuinely represent their region. That also applies to KR teams but... I don't know why I just don't feel like cheering for them.
@@Ceece20 Could you rephrase, because what you said made no sense to me. Your top team consist of 3 imports, 1 american born in the philipeans and 1 american. Your number 1 team is only 2/5 NA
you know i’m not even a league player never tried it once but god damn underdog stories like this really inspire me so i had to give it a watch all i can say is keep up the good work
I mean, the only reason why NA sucks at MSI cause TSM was never capable at international play, only focusing on home turf wins. Clould9 was always the international hope in worlds (Just like this year).
I am a Dota 2 and CS:GO player and I watch pro matches and yes there are many hypecasts that really are beautiful. But I cannot deny that when I watch some Legue clips from this channel, I can't help myself from having goosebumps everytime I hear the casting, even though I don't know the details of what's happening in the teamfight (I don't play League, I just use my Dota instincts to determine who is winning the fight) Anyways, really great content theScore!
Well not really rules... more like trends (rules sound catchier though). First of, every time you had a "super" team anywhere it turned out to fail horribly. Second, that is arguably more of a rule, but they do not play standard meta, they play Pyke ADC with mage toplane and assassin mid, while having some obscure off meta jungler and it just works for them.
@@darrenfleming7901 That is true, but I personally enjoyed the matches in MSI more than the ones in Worlds 2018 in general. I myself was excited for Fnatic in worlds too(Broxa with that Lee Sin🔥) , it was a joy to watch them play but the finals were just heartbreaking. I hope we get to see more of Fnatic this coming worlds, maybe SKT will rise up and reclaim their throne, G2 might dominate and win it all, Liquid is going strong and C9 or TSM might as well give a good performance, and what about the other rising Chinese and Korean teams? Worlds 2019 just looks like old teams back at their top with renewed rosters, and new super teams ready to clash. I didn't mention lots of teams, but tbh I expect a lot from worlds 2019 and I'm sure we will get to watch some high quality League of Legends one way or the other. ✌🏻
@MasterC0bra98 Official tbh every new worlds just gets better and better, and I just feel like 2018's was not on par with its predecessors in general. Looking at the local leagues and the last MSI, worlds 2019 looks like it's going to be epic, let's hope we also get a great song this year(I agree that warriors has been the best one so far) . 👍🏻 🔥
@@falholt940 I just feel like most of the teams were not the best they could have been you know, but this year they seem to be back at it again, so maybe we'll get more action this year. 2018 had some really good stuff I can't deny, but it's probably what you say and thats why I didn't enjoy it that much in general.
Just the irony how c9 and Fnatic were about to win and had losses last year, so as a result both teams' mid laners switched to the "powerhouse" teams in their region (Caps moving to G2 and Jensen moving to TL) and both Fnatic n C9 brought in academy/rookie players who are Nemesis and Nisqy as their new mid laners
Honestly though, it was a very close call. SKT could've won the series against G2 to proceed to the MSI Championship against TL if they didn't make such a terrible game-changing play in the end. Lol
Haven't played League for 6 years now and don't regret my decision, but I gotta say. I really likes your video. Reminds me of the time when I used to go to my friends place and watch Worlds together. Ouh the hype and the fun. Timeless and priceless. Thanks for reminding me of the great time I had with this great game.

@@Ampaomike No ADC Meta has been the thing in the past. Watch 2018 LCK Summer. They usually have Vlad-Pyke bot, there was even Yas-Ali bot.

Video title: 'The Superteam that Broke the Rules and Changed League Forever'
Expected video content: 20 minutes about the rise of 2019 G2 and their achievements.
Actual Video content: 'Is the gap between East and West closing? Let's discuss it using G2 and TL as examples, and give them half the video each despite the fact the video title is clearly talking about only G2'.
trueeee
its still a banger watching the old g2 smashing just everybody. This Meta was so fun to watch
One thing I LOVE that you guys do: the intro in the Description
Dennis the menace extreme Why?
@@trentsinger6590 cause spme timesi miss the begining of auto play videos. Also when it comes to news or listicles its good to have some stuff well thought out in the description. Certain channels ive watched had the same description since 09. This atleast makes it more note worthy to me is all.
You guys go crazy with these videos.. the editing, the music, the story. I got goosebumps watching this
Amazing work guys
Yeah, and it makes it seem historic despite the fact that it was only like a month ago.
Noah Lee it WAS historic. This is probably the best MSI in League’s history. We saw the defending world champions and the greatest team in history get beat by two teams from the West. Doesn’t get much better than that from a viewer standpoint.
@@jacobwilske5665 You're right, maybe "seem historic" wasn't the right phrase since it really was historic... I think I meant more along the lines of "so epic that it seems like a legend from a long time ago" -esque vibe despite only being a month back?? IDK, kinda hard to describe
and they are incorrect to give na even a 1% chance to beat eu internationally na has never beaten eu or even done better than eu
Noah Lee I know what you mean
Title: The Superteam that broke the rules and changed League forever.
Thumbnail Preview: Team liquid
Me: .
It really should have been "Superteams"
@@RiotBrosGaming No "superteams broke the rules" its only 1 superteam that flex picked and changed LoL in MSI 2019. That is G2. TL had no answer in the drafts.
@@lukemifsud7219 Okay, did you watch the same video as me. Because as far as the title and content of the video, I assume the rule broken was that western teams dont beat eastern teams. Also, G2 isnt the only team flexing picks, they are just doing it to a higher degree (and arguably to a dumber degree).
@@lukemifsud7219 ig did it first..... TL just played worst against g2.
yea crap video i couldn't follow through I'm off now
Watching this after G2 gets to the finals, then proceeded to get 3-0 by FunPlus

FPX was god tier but G2 hard choked it tho
@@russellwaelder3896 to think everyone underestimated FPX just because they didn't play like everyone else
@@russellwaelder3896 They deserved it.
G2 were having a bad day, they would have probably stomped FPX if they played like they did vs SKT
Flash forward to today and NA doesn't get out of group xD
I love you the score, thanks for the amazing videos
Your pfp tells me something different 🌚
👀
except for the video on the OKAY handsign
Kappa.
Great content, but the title didnt seem to match. The focus wasnt on G2 and what they did to change the way the game was played.
Exactly
In bird culture we call this: a clickbait
Thats the thing they didn't change the way the game is played its still played the same way but when g2 plays they force the enemy to play their game they did make pyke top meta tho and TL did that ith lux
@@isaiahmorris9197 tl didnt to it with lux lol. Kr made lux support a thing, and even lux mid wasn't jensen's idea but froggen's.
The game did change. A lot. Tanks are useless, except support, a nd like 1 sejuani in a 100 game, wards were nerfed and taken iut and nerfed and shit.
This game has changed A LOT and thia g2 would probably be beaten to shit in s7-6 and before
@@Storiaron Mate NA was the first to use lux competitively and what does it matter if g2 would of got beaten in s6? Thats not now
Dude 2019 MSI was amazing, finally just beautiful!
When you win the bo5 vs world champions in semi-finals, only to be stomped by your rival in finals with the quickest bo5 ever ^^
2023, the gap is even bigger than it was.
The western team played their own style during the regular season and as soon as it goes to worlds, they tried to play like skt and failed hard. Now that they play their own style international, everyone has adapt to them and finally they can play on their conditions. I think thats the main gap for the best teams of eu/na.
Not really. What is more important is that the "control meta" that dominated professional League has been evened out. This MSI G2 was able to play weird picks like Pyke top and simply win despite heavier scaling on SKT's side. But don't forget SKT still pushed it to game 5. With an entire season to figure things out, Worlds 2019 will be the true test to see if Western teams can close the gap.
I blame Invictus losing to TL squarely on a lack of preparation. They completely looked past TL, and basically spent all their time preparing for G2 and SKT. TL for their part was focused entirely on beating Invictus. Which translated into the shortest series ever in international tournament when G2 3-0'd them.
NA has performed so poorly historically that I think people forgot they are still a major region. I doubt the same mistake will happen at worlds.
@@jyashin If there is no tank meta korea and china blows and i say it here and after worlds end come back here to like this comment if this will happen. G2 and second slot EU team with probably Kikis on their jungle role will play the final at the worlds 2019. xd

@@DerpSenpai bruh i mean it is an amazing feat to beat what seemed to be the unbeatable IG(world reigning champions that 2-0 G2 in groups)
That deserves a lot of credit as the best upset in league.
João Cardoso they defeated ig they should atleast be given credit?
@@shinjimirou928 The channel considered the two teams as superteams. The changed the game forever one, I don't understand that one.
Maybe we didn't watch the same video, because I definitely saw G2 in this one, being depicted as a "superteam".
But would their superteam beat the 95-96 Bulls???
or the 85 Bears???
Or 2010 Barcelona?
Prob depends if they play League or BBall :P
Or the 2012 Moscow Five?

11:59 when your big brother says you can't play with him and his friends xD
Well the GAP is way more obvious now than ever lol
EU and NA is just dead their top seats cant even beat 2nd or third seat of lpl and lck its just LPL VS LCK now
Well... the most important thing to remember:
eu > na
when the only competition eu has is the worst region because eu is the second worst region
@@StormDexter thats why they won msi xd
trashhunter yeah you right you right I take it back

Not just as a G2 and EU supporter, but also for the lol sport I'm happy with the last tournaments! It's really good for the sport!
bO1...
G2 showed SKT that game on bot lane starts since min 1 not since min 20 and that's what made them win, also pyke top was yikes xd
The thing is, people praise Khan so much but all he plays is toplane bullies like kennen and jayce. pyke is a counter to that cus he just soaks up all the poke and stays healthy, basically making pyke a counter to khan. Literally any pro top laner can win toplane matchups by picking kennen or jayce into melee's. Did Khan even play anything else other than those 2 and maybe neeko?
@@neeko708 yeah, basically evrything from Hashinshin hate list is in his champ pool xd
@@neeko708 agreed. Skt's coach really needs to step up because almost all their drafts are really bad and skt's macro in the early game is horrendous which is what all the teams that've won against them so far capitalise on and snowball the game such that skt cant win anymore without their occasional game changing teamfight. But besides that theres also the fact that khan is pretty subpar as far as a Korean player goes. The only games he has done very well so far are mostly when hes on either riven and fiora, much like all the soloq one tricks u see all over. He also doesn't even really synergize well with the team honestly. I've always thought that they should really swap him out for another top laner and skt might see a comeback as one of the top teams.

"For the double, for the ace, for the baron, *for the base."*
cutting out the ending bothers me more than it probably should. I beginning to think that Quickshot is a rap god
I switched from league to dota maybe 6 yrs ago, but I never understood why Riot never addressed the region gap by just having more international tournaments. The reason why the gap between teams at the international level in dota isn't too big is because they get to play against each other frequently and make each other better, while still having their own distinct styles.
This gave me chills. Excellent job guys!
A year later and the gap is once again an ocean , congratulations dwg for winning and sun for finding their roster for the future
I am so hyped for the next worlds. G2 is playing amazing. Invictus is out for revenge. Skt is playing peak league of legends atm and they want that crown back.
IG is looking bad in LPL they might now make worlds

2023 now and the gap is the largest it has been after msi
frosk says "survive longer than Fnatic at worlds" and it just reminds me that everyone called fnatic terrible after they lost worlds. They got second place in the world. That ain't so bad
It's not that being second is bad, it's more how they lost against IG to be honest(fastest final in a World championship and they didn't play as well as group stage-quarters-semis Fnatic, as Fnatic took a game off from IG at Group Stage and they were first in their group If I remember well).
Its the same like Liquid in Final its nice they get there but they lost the hunger to win after semifinal and you can see it. Im self european fan but i expected a better figth from fnc at worlds as also from liquid at msi.
@@aleblasco39 They just weren't the same class as IG, they didn't play worse. They had a free pass all the way to finals, with 100T, Grex, EDG, and C9.

Extremely well made mini documentary! I thoroughly enjoyed watching, thanks
can we please appreciate the style of commentary in this video? dudes building up real tension!
The big diff here is that G2 did it with 5 european players. You could say that the best 2 players of TL were Imports
Single handedly the most exciting League of Legends event of all time.
I always cheer for EU teams because they are the only ones that rosters genuinely represent their region.
That also applies to KR teams but... I don't know why I just don't feel like cheering for them.
hopefully it wont chanche
Can't really say that about NA tvh
Jacob Dudzik NA team had just as many NA players as any other region. That’s better than any Chinese team.
@@Ceece20 Could you rephrase, because what you said made no sense to me. Your top team consist of 3 imports, 1 american born in the philipeans and 1 american. Your number 1 team is only 2/5 NA
@@Ceece20 NA has like 4 out of 10 midlaners. And all of them are really bad. Someone even know a name of an america midlaner?

I don't play LOL but I respect LOL players. What really made me like LOL is their SFM's, League's cinematics which are so cool I love them.
The other teams be like: lets plan and win the game
G2: lets plan to break the record for the fastest game
I mean, the only reason why NA sucks at MSI cause TSM was never capable at international play, only focusing on home turf wins.
Clould9 was always the international hope in worlds (Just like this year).
NA more like NAt good. GOTEEM
G2 is a team that is crazy they are a monster in r6 and they are one of the best teams in league
The gap was closer in 2019 because alot of the top korean players retired and the younger talent were still in academy

This channel needs to hit 1 mil before 2020
I am a Dota 2 and CS:GO player and I watch pro matches and yes there are many hypecasts that really are beautiful. But I cannot deny that when I watch some Legue clips from this channel, I can't help myself from having goosebumps everytime I hear the casting, even though I don't know the details of what's happening in the teamfight (I don't play League, I just use my Dota instincts to determine who is winning the fight) Anyways, really great content theScore!
I must've missed it, but how were the rules broken?
Well not really rules... more like trends (rules sound catchier though). First of, every time you had a "super" team anywhere it turned out to fail horribly. Second, that is arguably more of a rule, but they do not play standard meta, they play Pyke ADC with mage toplane and assassin mid, while having some obscure off meta jungler and it just works for them.
basically its not a rule as it means, it's the rule about asia always win international events, they explained it onto the video.
Allan Patrick Murmann Knebel still technically true since worlds is basically lol’s TI
MSI 2019 was more exciting than worlds 2018, so I expect a lot of worlds 2019. What a time to love competitive League of Legends!
but worlds 2018 was fucking amazing tho, especially for an fnatic fan.
@@darrenfleming7901 That is true, but I personally enjoyed the matches in MSI more than the ones in Worlds 2018 in general. I myself was excited for Fnatic in worlds too(Broxa with that Lee Sin🔥) , it was a joy to watch them play but the finals were just heartbreaking.
I hope we get to see more of Fnatic this coming worlds, maybe SKT will rise up and reclaim their throne, G2 might dominate and win it all, Liquid is going strong and C9 or TSM might as well give a good performance, and what about the other rising Chinese and Korean teams? Worlds 2019 just looks like old teams back at their top with renewed rosters, and new super teams ready to clash.
I didn't mention lots of teams, but tbh I expect a lot from worlds 2019 and I'm sure we will get to watch some high quality League of Legends one way or the other. ✌🏻
@MasterC0bra98 Official tbh every new worlds just gets better and better, and I just feel like 2018's was not on par with its predecessors in general. Looking at the local leagues and the last MSI, worlds 2019 looks like it's going to be epic, let's hope we also get a great song this year(I agree that warriors has been the best one so far) . 👍🏻 🔥
Andres Romero worlds 2018 was like the Best international event at The time. Their was just a huge amount of upsets.
@@falholt940 I just feel like most of the teams were not the best they could have been you know, but this year they seem to be back at it again, so maybe we'll get more action this year. 2018 had some really good stuff I can't deny, but it's probably what you say and thats why I didn't enjoy it that much in general.
"Let's put the 5 best players on a team, they will probably be terrible..."
and here we are 2 years later with the final 4 teams in Msi which had 2 Chinese teams, 1 Korean team and 1 European team.
Just the irony how c9 and Fnatic were about to win and had losses last year, so as a result both teams' mid laners switched to the "powerhouse" teams in their region (Caps moving to G2 and Jensen moving to TL) and both Fnatic n C9 brought in academy/rookie players who are Nemesis and Nisqy as their new mid laners
TaeTae's Tofu17 and g2 stomped tl in the same way as fnc stomped c9😂

Honestly though, it was a very close call. SKT could've won the series against G2 to proceed to the MSI Championship against TL if they didn't make such a terrible game-changing play in the end. Lol
Carefull, some people could actually beliece that to be true. i mean there are a lot of morons out there 😂
Haven't played League for 6 years now and don't regret my decision, but I gotta say. I really likes your video.

Ouh the hype and the fun. Timeless and priceless.
Thanks for reminding me of the great time I had with this great game.

Amazing somehow a video about G2 includes almost third of the duration on an NA team, well done thats some pretty focused and unbiased documentation right there...just call it "The Gap" next time you are going to do this.

Remember when two far right mass shooter did the ok sign ? In new zealand right before killing 50 people, and in canada in his police picture ?
Tatatatatre remember when they also drove a car? Remember when they brushed their teeth? Remember when Hitler painted pictures?? Why are doing those things acceptable to you? Oh right...because you understand that just because someone shitty associates with or does something, doesn’t automatically make that thing evil. You seem to want to live in a world where literally anything a bad person has ever done in their life must be labeled as unacceptable and can’t be tolerated ever again, even if there is literally nothing wrong with it. Fucking moron.
@@Bonobo_JoJo The OK sign was SIGNAL. If you don't understand how signals are different from day to day activities I can't do anything for you.

How is this comparable to him brushing his teeth off camera the day prior ?
Can you at least, at the very least, understand why a corporation after such an event would ban such a sign ?
