TL's Rough Start and Historic Finish at MSI | Team Liquid x Honda Presents: Level Up

In League of Legends, international competitions are marathons. Our historic run had its ups and downs, but we pushed through to Level Up. Driven by Honda. #HondaPartner

[@dwei3045]

The mini SKT reunion with Impact, Kkoma, and Faker was strangely very heartwarming despite being brief. Thanks for keeping that in!

31:15 kkOma and Impact catching up on the bus was also very wholesome.

[@connbreezy6156]

I was hoping it would have that effect! I definitely wanted to keep it in for that reason, I'm glad that I did!

[@Hardrada_1066]

@@connbreezy6156 it's honestly even better to me than G2's aftermovie, big respects!

[@Kakuren]

Xmithe's family is incredible. The support they give him is something any "kid playing games" would love to have.

[@connbreezy6156]

It's truly amazing how supportive they are!

[@mattnoper3262]

They way Jake's dad greeted Peter was heartwarming too.

[@orangeoranges2777]

I love his whole family and how they treat Jake's teammates, past or present

46:14 Cain was sitting when everyone else's standing, and yet he's the first one to reach the door. He is so good at holding back on his emotions

I didn't even realize it was an hour, I was that into it.

[@mirarobin4096]

I'm throwing this video in a playlist to watch over and over again. This game vs IG was one of the most exciting things I have watched. I was up in the middle of the night, and I just yelled and cried. One of my favorite times ever. Watching this again brings all the emotions back all over again.

[@connbreezy6156]

I'm so glad that you had this reaction and could relive the event through this piece. That's why we (1UP) do what we do! Thank you for your support :)

[@spicycurry7238]

i will never forget the friday morning during which i was eating my cereal and team liquid made the impossible POSSIBLE !!!!

[@huyta347]

46:12 Will be my favorite moment of the video, because not only was it a nutty camera work but the fact that it was a genuine reaction that can't be recreated or recorded again.

[@connbreezy6156]

I'll let Nick (the one who shot it) know that you enjoyed it! I love shots like these as an editor :)

[@orangeoranges2777]

ConnBreezy it was perfect! I loved how unintentionally dramatic the door opening was and them all huddled up rushing out 👍🏻

[@GermanLoLVidz]

Same here my friend. Also shows Cain the more reserved guy, sprint to the door first. Which really shows his passion towards this team. Powerful moment.

[@phamduy278]

Never expected this to be 55 minutes long. Been there at MSI with them and this feels good.

[@GlitchxCity]

This was a treat to watch

[@Kokopelle]

WOW the music selection during semis was insane. Huge kuddos to the coaching staff and anyone helping out in the background, it's awesome to see all the support the team has off stage. I kind of get why there are so few views but honestly this is such a high quality video and was so worth the wait. TL had a great 2019 MSI!! GL with the rest of summer! :)

I have never seen Cain this excited! Man this got me hyped!

[@texasallstar6969]

OK the scene to focus on. the scene with doublelift and corejj right before IG and the hallway. The look on his face. when its time. time to get on stage and fight the defending world champions. With nobody picking liquid. There is a weight on him. I know he felt it. But moving on to the scene with corejj. This is why corejj is the best support for doublelift. This is not some cocky pronouncement from corejj. were the best. Its not even for himself. Its for doublelift. To tell him this before such a monumentally stacked game. to assure him that they are ready and most importantly that they can win. Olleh would not have said anything. Aphromoo would have said something but not with the weight of a world champions words. There is so much going on in that brief 10 seconds that blows me away. You can be the best adc in the world. but sometimes it takes the best support to help you realize that.

[@spicycurry7238]

i am a silver adc main and i just cant say anything to this but PREACH
