Really glad to see someone cover MaRin. He definitely gets overshadowed by the SKT organization and even other SKT top laners like Impact, but he's doubtlessly one of the best. One thing I would've liked to see in this video, though, was the 2015 SKT vs CJ Entus spring playoffs series, a set that went to 5 games MaRin ended up saving by being the only member of SKT to have survived a team fight and teleporting behind CJ (who were barrelling down mid lane to end the game) and killing their minions, resulting in SKT winning a pivotal game vital to them winning the playoff title.

Oh man I still remember this so clearly. His Maokai was immaculate. There has never been another player quite like him for me.

[@kingtoucan4271]

I think Marin was a player that needed a very specific team environment to flourish. I think SKT was one of the only teams that was able to provide him with that suitable environment and allowed him to be the great player that he was. SKT was also very patient with Marin, and still believed in him even through the tough losses and frustrations. Teams that Marin went to after his time in SKT simply could not sustain a suitable environment for him, or were not patient enough to keep him for the long run. You cannot have SKT without the legacy of Marin, and Marin cannot have his legacy without SKT.

Alot of it had to do with the coach at the time. Kkoma is one of the most prestigious e-sports coach in Korea and he had a very good character. He was kind, humble and patient and he really drilled his team on importance of team chemistry.

SKT as well as all the korean teams merged their teams as riot dont allows teams all over the world to have sister teams at the same level of competitions. Talent was never a problem for koreans.

At this point of League of Legends, the game started to be won through the meta, so, you couldn't depend only on a player to win it all, in the World Championship 2015, it was a top meta for the most part in the individual role, while the other aspect was the lane swap that needed a right tempo to snowball out of control, so, of course, MaRin had to carry, it was his duty, meanwhile at that time, Faker had to play champions like mid Lulu. Also, these days, it's all about your whole team performing, mechanics and individual performance can only take you until a certain point, your whole needs to contribute in their respective roles in the meta, in order to win it all, sadly, Riot's marketing strategy, it's keeping pushing the idea of super stars, franchise players, so, the credit doesn't go where it's due.

24:36 This game was literally bait for Faker and his LeBlanc because until that moment he was undefeated in his entire career with LB. Pawn and whole EDG did really good job there :) Anyway, really nice documentary. Even though I was at that time really hooked to league I didn't know some of the information, escpecially from MaRin's CCB career. Thank you for this type of content :)

[@CrixCz]

Just to emphasize how genius was the Game 5 draft from EDG at MSI 2015. Faker at the time was 10:0 on LeBlanc. LB was his comfort pick, his series winning pick. But EDG knew that and they made sure to bait Faker to pick her and then to neutralize her with their draft (mainly Morgana mid, but also pre-rework Maokai). This truly 5Head strat (and of course its great in game execution) was in my opinion the main reason EDG won that Game 5. It was truly a shock to see Faker lose on his signature champ.

All of the names of these pro players gave me nostalgia. It reminded me of when i first started watching competitive league. I was watching EDG vs SKT inside a internet cafe and the people beside me were screaming during the teamfights. Fun memories

[@TurnAroundJ]

Loved MaRin! Used to watch lck so much back then. The msi loss was brutal. They shoulda played faker in every game.

[@jhinpotion9230]

They got baited into having Faker pick his then-undefeated Leblanc into a full LB counter comp too, remember.

[@TurnAroundJ]

@@jhinpotion9230 yeah haha I remember the bait 🤣

[@bettering6065]

I love these videos and even though they arent popular at the moment i have a good feeling you'll pop back into the spotlight for the community. You're leaving behind a legacy people can appreciate for years to come

NA being cocky without winning any international titles lol

[@Koudy111]

Thats NA for you. In everything. Overconfident people over they. They are ingrained in their superiority over all.

[@yikes5046]

@@Koudy111 That's a bit rude, and kind of ignorant. Not all of us like that, some people are just assholes, like everywhere else in the world.

now T1 produced 2 mvps who are top laners

[@willnguyen3149]

Best player? Marin? What a joke 😂 he can’t even compare to Khan or the shy he just happens to be the in the best roster that totally compatible to his play style. He can’t even play like that before 2014-2015 or after when his skill has some recognize. I don’t blame him for leaving T1 cuz it’s proven that T1 still strong with or without him. Bengi is someone that should get some attention not marin

[@Azakir25]

Ye the reason could be so great was because Bengi perma camped his lane, while Faker had mid prio the vast majority of the time without JG presssure. But even at worlds 2015, by most metrics Smeb was already a better top. Anyway, as far as SKTT1 top go Khan was better and Zeus smokes MaRin even though he's only 19.

[@Jektastic]

The finals vs Tigers wasn't a weird decision, it was an Azir meta and Easyhoon was absolutely cracked at playing Azir and against him. The switch gave SKT a gigantic draft advantage.

11 mins ago posted but already liked the vid, its going to be a banger aa always 🔥🔥

[@diego5145]

I even remember an announcer of worlds 2015 saying that when SKT faced OG in the semifinals that was the first time for skt in the tournament that a team took down a second turret in the same lane. Crazy

Love the content, my dude. Comments for the almighty algorithm!
