The Story of Huni: The Original Lucian Top

Huni’s a name that brings a smile to your face.
It’s a name that doesn’t follow the rules
A name that has achieved.
A name that people remember.
But before people knew his name, his charmed story started with failure.
This is his story.

[@AR3Q]

That voicecrack when he was saying *Quadrakill* is the best thing that happened that season.

[@teddeyishere]

SQUAAAAWWWWWKKDRAAAA KILL

[@jevintan.gerine3613]

It was the worst crack I’ve ever heard

[@whatinthefahhhhh5532]

pretty much

[@billy9749]

1:19

[@jomartcanlas7631]

that moment was legendary

[@speirs2023]

it really hurts me to watch huni's trundle against ssg on the finals. You can feel thatvhe never wanted to give up and did everything on that last fight. But it's not enough.

[@velnirian2291]

@Douglas Renato It was the ardent's meta...

[@QC336]

At the end you can hear how much more fluent his English gets. Say what you want but the man works hard at everything he does, including languages apparently.

[@koy324]

His English is "as good as f" anyone get the reference?

[@gwappo4852]

Apparently?

[@luluw4289]

I thought he was American korean,isn’t he?

[@nothachimanhikigaya9921]

Who can hate this man lol

[@pingu8172]

Not Hachiman Hikigaya while he is in SKT everybody hate him. Idk why

[@pedoinspeedo5595]

i hate him cause he made me try lucian top >:^( kappa

[@endefisto123]

Dumb idiots who can't have fun hate him.

[@dusansa98]

Actually i don't like him at all

[@あか-k4f1y]

kKoma

[@thehsbgamer]

Fantastic video like always. I love these "The story of ****" videos.

[@teddeyishere]

Berten I can't seem to turn my language filter off. What'd you say after of? Edit: When you have to go back and edit in the /s

[@hassanrizki7755]

Teddey the stars stand for the name of the players like huni faker etc... it's done on purpose not to trash talk ^^

[@thehsbgamer]

Hassan is right. I should have wrote "The story of blank" but thats a problem :D

[@hassanrizki7755]

nice one x)

[@lol_RMS]

or the story of "x"

[@remybories3718]

my favorite toplaner : highly skilled, dedicated player and a great personality

[@fabianunknown2656]

great video. fun to watch. i didnt feel like i am watching 30min.

[@Jeezuzchrustus]

u didnt watch 30 mins u watched 27

[@TheOAKProduction]

Instantly came back to this after the announcement of his retirement 😢

[@vicgarcia776]

Same here 😢

[@iwanomorgan6557]

EU and NA was where we saw how Huni shined as one of the most unique top laners in LoL history, showing aggressive gameplay and joy as a Summoner in the Rift. I love the man---he gives a smile on my face. Wherever Huni is, I'd follow. He's such a happy man, but it hurts to see that smile fade when he lost the 2017 Worlds while being in the dream he always wanted to be in. It hurts, really, I feel the man. I hope to see him shine even further as the oddball I admire and look up to. Huni is the best.

[@dmitriykomarov694]

25:40 him saying "bang certainly doesn't" was so damn brutal and depressing.

[@seaslug7421]

And the desperation in defending the nexus

[@SoulLoveBase]

Great content guys. I don't typically enjoy watching these kinds of vids, but it was really well made and tbh made me appreciate the man they call Huni even more.

[@TraakSC]

I am sure the original Lucian Top was in some bronze v game.

[@sakyo_11]

Not really, they love Teemo and Nasus

[@smilinggeneral8870]

Sakyo yasuo?

[@sakyo_11]

I think they love Yasuo but MID

[@TheBroCouch]

Well, Huni did start in bronze...

[@froilanjosephpaz4941]

They said it was Cabochard that invented it in lcs.

[@cheekeebreekee]

I can still remember being at the 2015 MSI in Tallahassee, FL and hearing the crowd chant "Huni" throughout every game he played.

[@byjordi2185]

Seeing SKT falling in 2017 still hurts.. but the enemy SSG is now gone.. and Gen G is no danger anymore. But I still miss the older times of all teams in League of Legends

[@Cpiody]

This story series is really incredible and well put together. Nicely done!

[@popat997]

The production values are just 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@fruzzle3352]

I love your documentaries. Thanks for the excellent content

[@monopixel5569]

Such a great player and personality ! fun to see Huni's really fulfilling his life and career !

[@jsinclairrrx]

I see huni, I click ❤

[@oofed1980]

Huni needs a team like Fnatic or SKT to bring him back to his prime level. He is kinda getting wasted at Echo Fox.

[@tylerlee8136]

Do more of this story videos! I love it!

[@CrystalisDota]

legendary work of art. love the edits

[@123MetalManiac123]

I am glad you appreciate the immeasurable greatness of the one and only GOAT and dedicate this entertaining video to him.

[@ivandong6474]

wow this video did not feel like 27 mins long at all, very well done

[@JungleVods]

Love the quality of the videos, amazing.

[@JimberinoILV]

I'm so hyped for this Huni has been my favorite player since Fnatic

[@cheuch]

Awesome video. Very thorough and well edited. Great job

[@victorvuong2438]

I miss the old Times When Fnatic used to steamroll the entire EU LCS

[@hoangng2370]

Victor Vuong well fnatic is doing pretty much the same now

[@jjiong1835]

Liked before watching

[@arcylite87]

Watched before not liking.

[@kevinroth2900]

Crazy to think he could actually win titles in EU, Korea, as well as NA and could be at worlds for 3 different regions. Great guy, great player

[@chongchiwei2519]

'I will teach this kid how to play league of legends' -Huni to Faker

[@lifedisconnected3549]

Back when the score eSports made best videos specifically about eSports

[@bangtansonyeondan511]

Thankyou for making these video

[@samuecchi]

Should've add that moment when there's an interview and Huni passes by behind him and everyone cheers, the interviewed glimpses back and says Oh, I know those cheers are not for me.

[@zenzaga2490]

sad that huni got dropped from skt when bang and wolf played like garbage at worlds

[@vaderglenn]

A True Goonfest not really sad aince skt is paying for it:^) they aren't even in top 5 lmao

[@alphablade8727]

I thought he left

[@dancody3126]

Ikr Huni actually did good while botlane failed to do anything for example Bang flashing in the dragon pit at finals.

[@Leafeonish]

bang actually looked like wintrading, his mistakes were so bad and so continuous. Huni saved skt in the other two bo5, he was a monster at worlds, but CuVee was a beast aswell, Huni and SKT couldn't win without Bang so they didn't

[@J0ker306]

He didn't get dropped, he leaved SKT same for peanut

[@franzmiguelxaviertrilles6933]

This video is so well made that it can be on TV as a documentary

[@lofytodo875]

hope he wins it this year with clutch

[@KneeCaps]

12:54 every poppy E ever

[@jjmmmmm8111]

Never expected to see you here

[@folarinadebo4443]

Great video unfortunately like many others about 2 years late. This would have been a great watch Hunis first year in Skt when I had to do all this research myself

[@richter9485]

Seeing ryze in the clips just gave me back my PTSD of how broken he was back then. Just 100-0 any champ in the game after 2-3 rotations of smashing your face on the keyboard

[@akkesm]

And now he's unplayable in soloq in plat and lower. r/RyzeMains is just a buch of depressed people memeing and waiting for the next rework

[@RyanMay94]

Man I feel for Huni been so close so many times let’s hope it happens soon

[@Zzzzzzzz7930]

Huni being at the best team lineup in the history of the west speaks for itself, my favorite top of all time

[@sunwukongmonkeyking5561]

26:00 Ruler on the left trying to get hugs. LOL that shit looks funny af for some reason xD.

[@shanty6953]

honestly this dude needs to make a hallmark Christmas card, his smile just radiates.

[@Monke-fj2qz]

This guy is so inspiring. He's a guy who started as garbage and grinded his way to the top while still being a good student.

[@ceoofsports]

i miss fnatic huni :(

[@hoangthinhvu6870]

Same

[@SlowlyLosinIt]

For real though, as much as I love these videos, you make it sound like every loss was Huni's fault. Especially when describing him playing for SKT. Maybe not what you meant (and I'm sure that it wasn't) but that's just how I perceived it.

[@Hollowberries]

One of the goats. Not afraid to play his way and win!

[@aniakondracka4247]

EU > NA confirmed by Huni

[@Zephyrdor]

Tak

[@bleppss2769]

Kr>Kr confirmed by Huni more like

[@gohugo472]

it funny that it the only region he did not win lol

[@kevinlanza2342]

What would it take to get Huni on an LPL team? Imagine making it to worlds from 4 different regions

[@MrCorando]

Bout the title: huni probably wasnt the one who thought of lucian top, he just made it popular (but hey hey, i aint hatin on huni or this channel/series of videos, i love both of em

[@Kireybishoujo]

Now i know how his english is being so good that he even cast in LCK caster along with the western caster, not korean caster xD Being a caster is a great next step carrer for huni cos his personality is so extrovert than the other retiring player that moved on to being coach.

[@willisbronze9984]

Wow lmao he played games alot and still manage to do good in school what a legend

[@natsuhelljoka8451]

He s coming back to the world with clutch gaming he did it again

[@hoangthinhvu6870]

Huni at fnatic is the most fantastic huni, imo , miss him so much

[@mrpixiledd2489]

I will never not have the utmost respect for Huni. The king of the agro-top laners

[@paulneun3356]

Most interesting, most fun to watch League player.

[@erinacchiiii]

Huni was a breather in the League. It's so cute when he twirls, dance and chuckles... He's such an angel 💓 P.S: i want Huni to be my younger brother *///w//* 💓

[@squash_is_here5500]

I love how both Huni and Reignover are just observing a hotdog at 2:54

[@hekhek2314]

Kappapride

[@Straw-Hunter]

This video was fucking awesome. Great job man.

[@colorx6030]

1st time I watched LOL esports, I was sooooo confused why I see Huni everywhere

[@Elchinodiabolero]

If you don't like Huni you are a hardstuck bronze 5 in real life

[@shravanpradeep8434]

I like huni but I'm bronze 4 :C.

[@sceptile4life246]

And now he made it to worlds with Clutch Gaming :D Only player to that with 3 different regions, as far as I know :)

[@agentebianco007]

SAY SIKE RIGHT NOW! omg.... yesss

[@ultraswagger4203]

* first minute of the video * * stops the video to give like * * unpauses video to watch and be amazed by Huni's story *

[@DISCODISCODISCO666]

this video was really good

[@learning2drawlol754]

Everywhere huni goes, they are always the best F

[@UnknownPichu]

Could you do a story about Bang and Wolf? would love to see that

[@brynxxx]

huni badly wants to play carry the way peanut wants too. but the meta, and the traditional skt playstyle won't let them do it. still hoping for them to comeback someday. nice video

[@prev9116]

This made me cry

[@goldentortle2484]

The positive carry of the team

[@BertrandMonsieur]

18:15 someone dropped their phone on the ground lol

[@gumpy29jones85]

Huni is the GOAT of all top lanes man he is class

[@emmvelop]

How can you not love this guy? I mean, it's Huni! You have to like him c:

[@managermaniac]

Score esports should do a story about CoreJJ. I think that would be an amazing story about how he was practically a nobody in Korea, then went to NA and couldn't make the impact and returned to Korea. One role-swap later = world champion

[@TheRogueVocaloid]

huni's back baybeeeee

[@akamochii_7548]

AAA i love this so much can you make the story of peanut??? I really enjoy these so much

[@tpat90]

There was a player playing active in NA - KR - NA - KR his name was Locodoco. Another player playing active in KR - NA - KR was Rush. So Huni wasn't the first, but he is one of the most successful players so far.

[@Flowerboy.flores]

I hope he does well this split. I miss him.

[@kymotsujason]

Seeing that stomp at Worlds 2017 finals, you can hear the SKT dynasty crumbling. Was pretty sad, as a SKT fan, but saw it coming from the beginning. SSG deserved that win, MVP goes to SSG Bang though.

[@mozan4469]

Adrian was also big part of Immortals perfomance in NA.

[@notoriousjraco5576]

His English improved SO MUCH!

[@faelreklaw8837]

With sadness I realize that after Huni nobody got chanted in Europe. In the States there were only Tsm chants that also stopped years ago after the te started to going downhill and now globally the crowd is somehow tamed. All these are pre Covid so its not that are related or something

[@mimism56]

Great video guys but you should have mentioned the MSI win with Skt that was a pretty big achievement if you think about it and it should be mentioned

[@endefisto123]

Skt had one MSI already, but it was Huni's first and only international championship.

[@Andres9562]

This was absolutely the fucking best.

[@youbestbequiet]

Glad he came to the majors now in NA

[@metalmichew2]

if i had a competing lcs team and one of my players would say skt wants them id tear the contract immediatly and say your going to worlds baby! imt seems like they understand exactly that which is needed to do

[@saigonrider]

sooo close to the cup. but bang shot it out of the window

[@joloadviento3029]

Well made 💜

[@recklvssrock9371]

Simply amazing

[@Clarity520]

His English has gotten so much better omg

[@AstolfoCh]

nearly got me to tears

[@hermanndurchunddurch4597]

Amazing Video!!!

[@dantes972]

Damn, im not a emotional type of guy but holy the tears are coming..

[@yuhuaa1843]

gotta love huni, what a story

Huni is what this game really needs
