Doublelift Reacts to This Esport Should Be Dead By Now

[@uva2344]

Bro didn't finish the video...when the last few minutes of the video was actually positive and was hopeful for our region

[@BG1435q]

he never finishes stuff he watches, its so annoying man. like when he watched msi or some other vids, he would just watch some games or like parts and stop before finishing, frustrating af.

[@trihard42069]

because there is no hope

[@scdocarlos1633]

This region is cooked, lil bro. There is no happy ending 😂

[@uncleruckus5686]

So.... Filled with lies and not worth watching?

[@thunderryu0494]

This type of stuff makes me legitimately emotional. I followed the League esports scene from the very beginning and it really was like lightning in a bottle. Such a grassroots following that grew so quickly with so many passionate players and fans... it felt like it would last forever. Watching all these pros retire over the years, especially the ones that defined the scene, has been a really tough pill to swallow.

[@shattered2137]

Ahh, its so cringe he didnt finish it, such an insanely well made video

[@FrostySnowman334]

@@BG1435q mans getting edged with no relief lmaooo

[@nickhalden374]

the lcs back then was literally just a bunch of gamers who got together, formed teams, and played the game for the sake of playing the game. it was grassroots, it was authentic, it was organic. nowadays, especially since franchising came about, everything is waaaay too corpo, where the primary concern is to sell merch and maximize profits. everything is way too polished, way too manufactured, and it all feels fake.

[@takumifujiwara300]

guy really said why it's all about me. lmao you are the face of the LCS bud you won way too much LCS Titles.

[@csanadtemesvari9251]

the title is this esports, so the question is valid

[@michaelwilliams8242]

​@@BG1435q buddy stop spamming

[@taylorbates4742]

To be fair, there were a LOT of clips, but majority of them were solely based around LCS and there wasn't much for other regions. Professional LoL isn't just one region, and even if NA disappeared from the scene completely, the eSport itself wouldn't disappear.

[@andrewli8900]

Still got scammed by the official lcs top players of all time ranking

[@etheth888]

Surely he finished the video later

[@BG1435q]

[@jxstified7558]

He doesnt finish any kind of video and just makes an opinion on it, same shit he did about LCK and LPL teams thinking Caedrel and Dom didnt know what they were talking about even though they watch everything LPL and LCK and he watched like 1 series and skimmed through it and ended up being proven wrong when T1 shit the bed.

[@RiverMCZ]

this video legit covered my teenage years man, nothing beats prime LCS, fuck man

[@postalcollapse12]

hes right, it really was the hype of the crowd. Team names meant alot more back in the day.

[@battleforgarp]

I agree also I remember getting into in s2 and all the way up till 2019 in my opinion was great to watch then went down hill from there I still watch but not with that same passion that I had when I was like 14 but I do like what Mark has been doing for us the past year

[@CJManning86]

I posted this on the original video... and I feel it's worth putting here. What... WHAT IS THIS AMAZING PRODUCTION!? Bro, it felt like I was watching a video from RIot... no, better, because in this video you acknowledged the mistakes and showed how we got through them. What a ride, what a video... wow. You've ignited my love for LCS again. Also, he's right, as fans... why aren't we held to the same standard. Maybe as fans we need to stop asking the pros to show up for worlds and maybe we the fans need to show up for them. They need us, they don't have the support they used to. Sponsorships be damned... they need our support.

[@cedrichofstetter4057]

He didn't watch the most important part of the video 😂

[@snowpt]

I miss 2016-2017 TSM man... Those were the times

[@aithney]

Well this is the same feeling I have about gaming in general, not just esports. Gaming as a whole evolved from being nerdy niche for a relatively small group of people to a mainstream entertainmant platform. Once that happened, more and more big corporations entered the market to min-max the $$$. Gaming went from an community driven artform to a mass produced good in a blink of an eye and the magic died with it.

[@NateO123]

Not to mention the bad actors who view it as an opportunity to advance their social or political agenda. Too much of the gaming industry isn’t about the games anymore.

[@aslemartinsen5284]

RIP Zuna. Such a lively personality with a huge passion for League and Heroes of the Storm. Gaming in general. What a character we lost.

[@ElReyDeNoche]

C9 finished season 3 summer 25-3 and went undefeated in playoffs. It was 8 teams and they played each other 4 times each. There were also like 2 or 3 super weeks with one of them being at MLG. I doubt people care but I was watching back then.

[@chefdougy]

50 thieves lol 🤣

[@allenwang2894]

i was there at MSG Finals CLG vs TSM jinx penta, good old times

[@battlebots1]

Thank you comments for warning me he didn't finish so I can save myself the anguish

[@binomis3468]

League back then was a labor of love and passion. That pure pursuit brought in crops of people who were eccentric. As the game gained mainstream attention and playerbase, the playerbase became more normie. Once the older eccentric players turned over, the newer upcoming normie players took their place.

[@markmyers8491]

Dash's goodbye brings tears to my eyes

[@zesha50]

I am super sad now... I looked forward to those days so much.

[@serenity9260]

rivalry and trash talk were insane back then. Can they do that kind of hype again?

[@litical3719]

The reason why the teams arent the same is because you soent alot more time with the teams, and North American teams were actually 100% North American. Plus the old stars are still streaming and taking attention from newer players (It not a bad thing it just a thing) and the lcs (until recently) rarely fielded new rising stars with high expectations on big teams

[@litical3719]

Honestly I feel like the biggest problem really is having some import players, LCS has no pride anymore.

[@Monkey_D_Buhlahkay]

“2nd place is basically the same as 10th.” DL has Mamba Mentality

[@Dameionaruto]

Aphromoo was his Shaq

[@Mawsdtheking]

I miss curses I still have my season 3 curse icon on. Liquid just isn’t the same

[@samuelho4771]

The magic is winning and being incredibly successful. That’s the magic and it always has been.

[@HaumxeebCha]

it stopped being about the game and became about the money. I'm glad that people got their bag but it's a shame that LCS got worse for it.

[@kingquesoIV]

Of course we remember Nientonsoh

[@yomu6285]

Anyone viewing this for the first time, watch the entire video. Doublelift didn't watch the best part of the video.

[@User-pu3lc]

The last portion of that video shows that there is actually a new era of stars being born. Shame he skipped it.

[@brennenmay2281]

DL for sure into edging the way he never finishes videos

[@daz4052]

I have the exact same pattern on my kitchen sink rug lol! Is it a picture hanging behind him? Funny to me lol

[@Monkey_D_Buhlahkay]

“2nd place is basically the same as 10th.” DL has Mamba Mentality Also 50 Thieves is fucking funny.

[@chefdougy]

doublelift trust me it feels even more crazy in the same way the older you get

[@flywithzeon]

Time to get real work to do, and improve world, improve humanity.

[@krzyazn212]

such a shame, DL what a fall from grace. Every time I watch him, it reminds me of the end scene of the movie Dodgeball where White Goodman is watching TV eating fried chicken.

[@P0kets]

funnier if it was 80 thieves cause thats 20% less than 100.

[@cusrsedstuff8043]

someone in comments said old graphics so much better then new/ LMFAO these players so delulu thye find any reason to sh*t on this game at this point

[@Daniel-ik6wi]

When a region isn't competitive at all

[@Cookedcookery]

watch the whole damn video !

[@BlueBuffAndChill]

is zac alright?

[@johnpang3576]

Idk why he didn't finish the video, maybe cause the onus was on him cause he came back to the LCS washed and realized 1. He doesnt have enough fan support or make enough money from LCS anymore so he streams 2.He is actually washed and even adcs like Yeon, Berserker and even FBI are better than him now. 3. He can't win anything cause he's a detriment to any team hes on cause the playstyle becomes too bot side focused on one dimensional.

[@B-RaD5oh5]

What a hype video. Gamers were just built different back then. Idk what happened.

[@Dameionaruto]

Aphromoo is a Goat. I feel like Doublelifts best duo

[@elephantisland695]

Doublelift not even finishing this video is so fucking lame

[@theSpiracy]

Nein never got enough respect

[@BG1435q]

he never finishes stuff he watches, its so annoying man. like when he watched msi or some other vids, he would just watch some games or like parts and stop before finishing, frustrating af.

[@devinlara5525]

Ya take any win you can get when you’re not a valorant player

[@TheFoxStalksHisPrey]

10:00 so fucking true sadly

[@jeffreyday84]

Nientonsoh was so fun to watch.

[@Onestonedbake]

Peak league was 2016-2018

[@michaelwilliams8242]

50 Thieves was funny😂

[@MrMertakhai]

I love Dyrus's weird zingers -- 3:37 "None of the other teams even _exist_ in my mind. Especially this one specific team called CLG, they _super_ don't exist."

[@Jeans11234567]

Chaox was rank1 in NA so why saing he is bad?

[@chefdougy]

DOUBLELIFT... WOULD YOU JOIN BRANDON SANDERSON'S NEW LCS TEAM IF ASKED?... UNDER WHAT CONDITIOINS ?

[@ssnn5711]

the video should be NA E sports should be dead by now

[@MartinG2109]

Nien was so good, role switching to everything 😂

[@twidelia4102]

TBH still funny. Good tweet.

[@finaljoses]

Doublelift half assin another thing. C'mon man get your shit together already.

[@indigorune]

the hell? why didn't he finish watching?? i swear, DL is actually so cringe.

[@yuurapik]

OMFG double you really stop ther smh

[@gurnt1154]

Love DBL, but changed by like to dislike because you couldn't be bothered to finish the last two minutes of the video. C'mon man. No one likes the edging bullshit. You stop it when you have a sponsorship coming up at the same time the video longer has to do with DBL? Convenient? I think not!

[@curatorx5702]

I mean mostly its about how NA is a failure so yeah i guess its a lot about you
