KOREAN FANS ARE A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN

[@Lorrendogge]

Thank you so much for this quality content! I want to point out: when I first saw the all caps title of this video, I thought it was some “omg you won’t believe this!!!” clickbait that is so prevalent nowadays and scrolled past several times. I only clicked it now after realizing it was produced by One Esports. This video should have more views 👍

Thank you for watching the video! We want to make more quality content on KZbin, so your support means everything

SK really does do a lot for the fan experience and exposure, they acutely know what the fans like and thus drive the market..I do hope this could be learned by the other leagues and study their fan bases and cultivate the fan experience in their own flavor. Edit: The 20th Anniversary documentary released by T1 explained a lot about their own move about the fan experience- they wanted to be self-sustainable. I believe the COO said starting 2019, T1 as an organization has its own profits (as of the documentary, they have 20 brand partnerships)…and can operate independently (which is so forward thinking especially about the budget cutdowns this year by Riot) that is why, compared to the other leagues who are now affected by the Riot budget cutdowns (the off season battle happening now with other leagues whose teams are off Worlds has been trending in the community)…T1 will not be affected by this, nor the LCK in general. There was even an article done with a Gen G affiliate that said T1’s Base Camp (PC room, cafe, events and merch center) is so successful that they are targeting to duplicate it.

[@ONEEsports]

Hope this documentary gave some insights to that as well! Thank you for watching 🐵

People feel weird for the Kpopization this org go. But,this concept is for the fans who can afford it. I live far away from Korea. I can't even buy their uniform because of the expensive tax. What's wrong for the org to sell something to make money for themself. ZOFGK is a brand. The individual player can sell their own merch and make profit. Not all team can do this. Do you know,sometimes fans comment at Faker live broadcast to stock some goods. T1esports is 20years old org,this is the best the org can do to feel closer to their fans.

[@psy_99]

T1 is probably one of the few profitable eSports teams today. I think their ability to capitalize on their players stardom is a big part of that. Having the GOAT of the game also doesn't hurt.

[@starlight-os7lj]

what a nice documentary. thank you for creating this. T1 is where the best belong ❤

[@ONEEsports]

Thank you for your words

[@is_ppk]

I am a Singaporean fan for 20 years of t1. I learned about Starcraft Korea e-sports because I like Lim Yo-hwan When it was difficult for people around the world to use the Internet, I was surprised that Korea used the national high-speed network Internet from the late 1990s, PC rooms were created, and e-sports was the first country in the world

[@kkisafakerfan]

T1 24 worlds fighting! Let’s go T1! Let’s go ZOFGK! I will always cheer for Faker no matter what. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@haroentmimi]

I think stuff like this is really important for the future of e-sports. We are still in the baby phases of e-sports, the longer these organizations go, the more fans they'll have, and the more successful e-sports will be.

[@ONEEsports]

Everyone in the scene plays a crucial role - from the orgs, fans, media. Thank you for your comment!

[@lkm2458]

As someone who participated in the beginning of e-sports, these are not the early days. The real beginning was during the Lim Yo-Hwan era when the StarCraft League was held, and compared to those days, the scale has now expanded greatly, so it is considered to be in the mid-stage.

[@pko_2.0_pop7]

​@@lkm2458in Korea, yes. The beginning of competitive gaming/esports in general was the establishing of grassroot competition of Fighting Games and Arena FPS which were a years before Starcraft. Even the "Cyberathlete Professional League" event had been around before Starcraft competition too. These were the jam. No matter how downlow these category compare to PVP MOBA & Team FPS these day, FGC & Arena FPS have my honourary credit.

6:25T1 added the win, making it 5 stars. I should add from the four stars tattooed on my ankles. But I don't see any extra space.

[@eyaangel618]

Hey fellow,nice to know you. I'm also a T1 fan. The tattoo is very beautiful. If I may suggest you can add the star on top of the other stars

[@goddessathena6940]

To further add context to this documentary, also watch the T1 documentary with RedBull, the fans' drive to support the only Korean team left with Worlds being held in their region was so monumental that they conducted voluntary community service as a way to gather good Karma. It was so prevalent it made to news

[@lovelyn2947]

ZOFGK❤❤❤ as a fan of this roaster I hope they’d stay together.. i will cry if even one of them let go.. ZOGK please stay with Faker..😭😭😭😭😭

Seeing Elliot's 3 stars really made me think T1 has gone a long way since now they have 5 stars

[@tonyhart2744]

unlike in many country, in korea "esports" its real job even have same social prestige like kpop star, this is not the case in many country thats why korea always been a powerhouse to esports in general

LCK are kind of like the Premiere League in football, with fans all over the world, not just in Korea. Quality, creativity, hard-working teams and interesting personal stories make them the best to watch.

[@lewisk3725]

As a long time support of SKT org. I feel very uneasy about the Kpop-ization of T1. I know eSports orgs are hurting for money to fund their team, but Kpop scene themselves are having second thoughts about milking the whales for money.

[@maize09blue]

LCK fans - Full of pretty girls West region fans - It's a bloody sausage party... The East gets Championships and the hot girls as well. It's not even fair.

12:20 oh cmon he cannot be THAT naive? They are most likey resellers looking to make money, NOT some dedicated fans. Please🙃

[@haeyin]

then why not buy all the players merch?

[@xKyreLx]

you'd be surprised with some fans.. I know someone personally who doesnt mind having multiple duplicate merch maybe not as much as 50.. but she did have around 30 of the same small item merch... not saying resellers aren't real... but obsessive fans are real and i have seen a number of them IRL.
