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

[@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?

[@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...

[@TheOAKProduction]

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

[@vicgarcia776]

Same here 😢

[@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

[@user-le1cn7uy2f]

kKoma

[@residentcuck9082]

It is so sweet that Immortals was just like "Oh SKT approached you? The team you have always dreamed of being on in your home country? Well we already have you signed but, you want to go play at home don't you?" Huni:"Yes, it would he a dream come true, but I don't want to disappoint my team" "Lets just check with your team *looks at phone as if to pretend to ask them and immediately looks back* yeah we all think it is best for you to follow your dream, go ahead and show the world what you can do from home"

[@remybories3718]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@dmitriykomarov694]

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

[@seaslug7421]

And the desperation in defending the nexus

[@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.

[@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)

[@ramus1063]

or the story of "x"

[@fabianunknown2656]

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

[@Jeezuzchrustus]

u didnt watch 30 mins u watched 27

[@cheekeebreekee]

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

[@popat997]

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

[@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.

[@fruzzle3352]

I love your documentaries. Thanks for the excellent content

[@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

[@jsinclairrrx]

I see huni, I click ❤

[@monopixel5569]

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

[@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.

[@JungleVods]

Love the quality of the videos, amazing.

[@CrystalisDota]

legendary work of art. love the edits

[@tylerlee8136]

Do more of this story videos! I love it!

[@cheuch]

Awesome video. Very thorough and well edited. Great job

[@Cpiody]

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

[@bangtansonyeondan511]

Thankyou for making these video

[@AsianSensationist]

Great video like always. Going to miss watching him play for SKT no matter what people say about him. Wish Huni the best of luck with Echo Fox. And I hope he returns back to Korea and win a world championship he deserves

[@jjiong1835]

Liked before watching

[@arcylite87]

Watched before not liking.

[@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

[@JimberinoILV]

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

[@ivandong6474]

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

[@RyanMay94]

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

[@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

[@prev9116]

This made me cry

[@MrTenacious13]

This video was fucking awesome. Great job man.

[@lifedisconnected3549]

Back when the score eSports made best videos specifically about eSports

[@vZirazy]

this video was really good

[@chongchiwei2519]

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

[@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

[@sunwukongmonkeyking5561]

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

[@ceoofsports]

i miss fnatic huni :(

[@hoangthinhvu6870]

Same

[@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.

[@paulneun3356]

Most interesting, most fun to watch League player.

[@KneeCaps]

12:54 every poppy E ever

[@jjmmmmm8111]

Never expected to see you here

[@123MetalManiac123]

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

[@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.

[@4YOURGAMEPLAY]

so good

[@AstolfoCh]

nearly got me to tears

[@v1lle-]

legend

[@shanty6953]

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

[@kevinlanza2342]

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

[@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

[@goldentortle2484]

The positive carry of the team

[@aniakondracka4247]

EU > NA confirmed by Huni

[@Zephyrdor]

Tak

[@bleppss2769]

Kr>Kr confirmed by Huni more like

[@gohugo472]

[@BertrandMonsieur]

[@natsuhelljoka8451]

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

[@yuhuaa1843]

[@Flowerboy.flores]

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

[@recklvssrock9371]

Simply amazing

[@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

[@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

[@colorx6030]

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

[@UnknownPichu]

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

[@zzed7571]

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

[@HomTolland69]

He's returning to Europe for Worlds

[@xxstrider3188]

Good way to pass the time at work

[@willisbronze9984]

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

[@mrpixiledd2489]

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

[@notoriousjraco5576]

His English improved SO MUCH!

[@liumatthew8428]

Hey could you do a video on Namei please? Keep up the good work!!

[@kakashithe6th178]

[@purplepotato9634]

How can you hate this man

[@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.

[@learning2drawlol754]

Everywhere huni goes, they are always the best F

[@squash_is_here5500]

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

[@hekhek2314]

Kappapride

[@mozan4469]

Adrian was also big part of Immortals perfomance in NA.

[@vindicatino]

still a legend

[@powerpaul1995]

Heartmelted.. huni is the real mvp

[@hoangthinhvu6870]

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

[@gumpy29jones85]

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

[@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.

[@lucas.h6619]

I cried

[@Mr4CS]

[@loveless062]
