One of the best finals in LCS history! I was so lucky to be there in person, the hype was unreal.

[@Michaelthacrow]

The energy in the room was so great, I brought my friends who had a very casual view and experience of league and it was like watching kids at Disneyland how awestruck they were

[@Phnx327]

This is what the LCS needs. Not international success, but just teams we can root for domestically. Im a die-hard C9 fan since their inception, but Im also a fan of the LCS and I dont want to see our league be bogged down by all the outside noise. I dont care what people who dont watch LCS think of our league. But I dont want our domestic fans to feel the same way. Hopefully NRG's story creates new fans. Even though my team lost, Im more than fine with the result. This is honestly the best outcome for the health of the LCS.

[@davidrogers6987]

LCS needed a team like this that looks at the game differently. Challenges the narrative of NA teams playing slowly. They earned a fan here. 🏆I hope they take some games in worlds and do NA proud.

[@falsearbitrator2560]

They won't. At the end of the day while c9 doesn't deserve our hope. They are still the only chance

[@minmaxv]

@@falsearbitrator2560the last time C9 did anything at Worlds was 2018 and they seem to always get gapped during international events. Even at MSI Golden Guardians did better against international teams. NRG is gives us hope

[@royloh87]

C9 will give you false hope. This year they haven’t improved at all. They are a domestic focused team

[@youngbae5187]

They only 'earn a fan' when they became champions. Lol. You just bandwagon for a champion. If you truly care about playstyle, you'd root for them ages ago. Fake as s.

[@falsearbitrator2560]

@@royloh87 and yet they still are the only the only chance NA has. C9 playing well is the only team that has a chance to make it out of groups, even if that chance is like 10%

[@tsun1227]

HOLY DAMN WHY AM I BAWLING. Loving the drive and attitude from NRG. Contractz stepping up and leading his boys home 💪

[@SeiferSays]

Damn... the "DRIVE: Contractz" link at the end. I remember watching that one last time CLG came around to finals. So glad he got it this time!

[@ryanzhao8320]

That parallel shot of walking on as C9 Contractz vs NRG Contractz at 1:18 ❤

[@Daijinthetripod]

I love this content piece as an old clg fan this gave me goosebumps much love ❤

[@jamiewestwood7827]

This was the first live event I ever went to, and man, did it deliver.

[@utherx1]

They change they name, but the heart of CLG keeps going i love it, always teamwork never give up

[@saiallu9867]

I don’t know who that guy was at 10:30, but he is preaching the truth. Many people today believe that fudge is a meal and dhokla is a snack, but they are mistaken, it’s the other way around. We need more young people to stand up for important social issues like this. That guy also looks very macho, he must do rock climbing.

[@marttilaine6778]

So happy for Contractz!

[@centmeister4528]

Contractz mental after losing that first game. Is just on another level! Well deserved and congratz to nrg

[@ade1174]

This was the most fun LCS final in years. NRG is a great team.

[@truman268]

another iconic call from flowers to immortalize this awesome story for NRG

[@woodwest11]

Contracts passion is inspiring man he almost deserves this more than anyone else in the league GG NRG GG

[@김선희-y6g]

👍

[@NZ_YT]

This was so so so amazing to be in the arena for. LCS needed this win from NRG more than I could have thought. So excited for Worlds, so excited for next split.

[@gelolangit3660]

Lezzgo Contractz

[@iindengroeneveld681]

That end game call from flowers + seeing contractz reaction gave me goosebumps. Such an awesome story

[@bestyoutuberever7362]

Contractz is the main character for real

[@KilogramHours]

God damn dude its so frustrating that LCS is losing viewership because the product itself is better than ever before. This season was amazing production-wise and all of the people behind-the-scenes should be proud at what they've accomplished.

[@lizzb1065]

So much this!! I couldn't agree more!

[@grippgoat]

I needed this. Perfect bow to wrap up this gift of a season we've had this year.

[@L33DDL3]

A tier story, A tier peoduction, A tier NRG

[@d_dayne_e]

contractz going to finals when he was 17 is wild, when i was 17 i was just some high school kid working a garbage retail job lol

[@vitaleestarostin5031]

2:06 this dude came from the future to tell us about the game

[@Darium856]

Dude Contractz looked SICK pre-games 1/2 and as soon as that second game started it was calm focus. Congratulations bois, love to see an underdog crush a giant.

[@lizzb1065]

Top tier content, LCS. Congratulations NRG!! What a finals that was... I'm so happy for Contractz and the whole NRG squad!

[@benjamindinkey]

Love seeing NRG's rise to the top, as well as Contractz growth as a player and a human, there's a level of calmness emanating from him that really gives a sense of the 'these boys are actually going to take games at worlds' sort of copium. Also, huge props to the creative director/producer and editor's of this, genuinely great piece of content.

[@cartilo2619]

One of the best Eyes On I have watched!

[@lawfulneptune14]

Made me cry all over again, so happy for NRG

[@agentcodybanx8909]

That sigh of relief as Contractz hoist the trophy up, thats such an awesome moment

[@samueleriva2265]

great content, love this type of video

Great Video especially on Contractz's birthday! 🎉

[@MarioMassac]

Spicy 3-1 NRG prediction 😜

[@pandaforce6162]

always a c9 fan, but always a contractz fan. Unlucky to lose, but happy to see him succeed after so long

[@thebluesnivy]

idk what it is with this one but it gives u the feels good shit to NRG

[@김선희-y6g]

👍👍👍

[@mero3604]

Oh man, C9 Impact, Contractz brings back so many memories. That was the "Sword and Shield" era with Ray and Impact (If I remember correctly)

[@cedrichofstetter4057]

the whole finals weekend was so awesome

[@paul_bellini]

The music at 8:11 got me pumped

[@VegasLyfe]

As a long LCS AND CLOUD 9 STAND! I HAVE to say the 3peat would have been the best historical achievement, but in my heart i wanted NRG to beat goliath to complete THE ANIMIE ARC and c9 was the villans in this documentary

[@TheTalkingCorner]

Unbelievably well made video. Perfectly captures Contracts story, the flow of the series, the narrative surrounding the finals and the player experience. Well fucking done LCS.

[@minmaxv]

NRG winning is a good for the LCS

[@FantomMind]

Bro, you still a young kid! Stop making me feel like a fossil!

[@DearlyBeloved.]

so proud!!!

[@ElicastEffaenrys]

What a story, what a video

[@dangerdev3495]

banger video! let’s go NRG!

[@juddtrump3292]

hope they can get one win at international stage

[@yamiRic]

Such a great storyline

[@michaelp8357]

This is awesome

[@Dennis-cl8dh]

Every time the observers would show Dhokla when he would lose. Now he gets to show them the reaction of a Champion

[@MichaelLeder-he2rp]

awesome video, much feels

[@gamingfunnel]

Bro ngl im so dumb. The title was eyes on New Jersey and I thought that they were releasing a new jersey for winning

[@joeboganexperience]

Okay straight up wish I could have a world where Contractz and Blaber win. Overall I think this is good for the league. C9 won’t be the villains as much and they can have a redemption arc.

[@JamesColeman12]

I switched from AT&T Fiber to Spectrum Fiber because of NRG's finals victory btw. clearly Spectrum is better than AT&T as you can see here in this video. also it saved me like $60 cause i combo it with my wireless plans too.

[@vascogamero530]

Great congent

[@ink2467]

amazing video

[@jacktaylor4241]

Choke9 is back baby!!

[@johnpauljonesisabadass8134]

Yeah, LEC kinda trash tier this year

GO NRG Subvert expectations.

FBI finally beating C9 in a GF 😢

[@Teldaru]

One of my favorite finals to ever watch. True anime shit right here

[@fiveten2791]

SHIVERS

[@acatwithwiskers9273]

I count this as one last championship for CLG

[@H4xreaper1]

Im calling it rn, nrg wworlds champs. This year. 2023.

[@redsun7365]

just putting this comment here to see if the eyes on curse takes hold of NRG now in worlds

[@doing63]

cool

[@ZackYXW]

RIP NRG at Worlds. The Eyes On Curse takes another victim. Unless The Eyes On Curse counteracts the First Seed Curse. Does two negatives = a positive?

[@schobaxt.8781]

NRG reminds me of heretics.

[@24Dodgers]

The casters really wanted C9 to win 😆 😆 It was funny they were so obvious

[@Bluriness]

not kobe. He's always been a clg fan since he was a clg player before

[@c_spare]

I really don't think they "wanted" it as much as they "expected" it. This was the first seed Cloud9 coming off two back to back titles, playing a team who they had already 3-0'd vs a team whose largest accomplishment to this point was taking c9 to 5 games in Spring of this year. This was a massive upset, probably the largest in LCS finals history.
