Beginning of the Stream

• Faker appears, the first few minutes are mostly him getting spammed by donations. 
• Many are congratulating him on winning Worlds, and a huge number are skin requests, especially for Galio, Aurora, and Mel. He teases all of them.
• Faker mentions that his hair ended up long at Worlds because he didn’t have time to cut it before the tournament. He finally got it cut yesterday. He’s wearing his Worlds uniform on stream because he considers this a special occasion.
• The donations are coming in so fast that he gets overwhelmed and so he pauses them.
• He says the skin vote will happen after they watch the Worlds games, so that the vote feels more meaningful and fun. He also jokes that he could play Jump King during the stream.

T1sooni

• Before they start watching the games, Faker talks about his Worlds victory pledge: if they won Worlds, he would do a stream with a fan.
• Chat keeps asking for Peanut, so Faker teases them, but explains the guest is just an ordinary fan who was selected, not another pro. The guest was chosen from among fans who bought T1 Homeground 3-day passes, who then got to go on a tour of the T1 offices, from there another draw was held.
• Faker introduces the fan or T1sooni. She’s very nervous to meet Faker and says she has been watching since 2014. Faker points out SKT started dominating in 2013, but 2014 results were a bit rough, so he jokingly asks how she ended up starting then. She says her friends introduced her to the game, and Faker jokes, asking if those friends were boyfriends.
• He asks if she played “pretty champions” when she first started, since that’s how many people begin League. He also talks about their age and life experience since they are the same age.
• And jokes about her being a kind of “church elder” among his fanbase because she’s been watching for so long and she’s the same age as him, a “96-liner.”
• Faker comments that his viewers are full of babies. He guesses that probably over half of the current viewers only started following T1 more recently, but his audience is very diverse.
• He asks what she thought of Worlds: She says she was extremely worried at first. But a fter they beat AL, she felt much better. During the finals, she thought: “If T1 wins game 4, then they’re going to be champions.”
• Faker agrees with her, chat jokes that is the typical T1 fan mindset. But he says that there were many moments where T1 could have been knocked out. Even in the Swiss stage, it felt like they were hanging on by a thread. 
• T1sooni says because of that she was superstitious and tried to do good deeds in real life to give them luck.
• Faker asks what kinds of things, and she mentions giving up her seat on the bus, etc. Faker thanks her and all T1 fans who do “good deeds” hoping to bring the team good fortune.

Mundo Pick, Responsibility, and Oner

• Faker brings up the Dr. Mundo pick, and asks T1sooni what she thought.
• She says that at the time, it felt like part of a prepared plan, but in the actual game, Mundo didn’t look “normal” because Oner kept dying so fast. Faker laughs and agrees that this wasn’t the “usual Mundo.”
• She says that if she were in Oner’s shoes, she probably wouldn’t have done it, since Oner would have taken all the blame if it went wrong. But she also found it funny that the team was pushing him into the pick.
• Faker relates to this, he says since they both have a sense of how things work socially. 
• Making that call means voluntarily taking on public responsibility.
• You’re choosing to be the one who gets all the arrows if it fails.
• Accepting that burden and going for it anyway is very mature and admirable.
• He says honestly he’s not sure he himself could have made that decision in that context, which is why he finds Oner’s mindset very impressive.

Do or Die match and IG Teaser

• Faker talks about the Loser goes home match and how she felt about it, since it didn’t exist before. T1sooni jokes that every moment felt like a loser goes home match.

• For the autograph signing, he mentions the team was squeezed very close together and it felt awkward since the big guys [Oner, Guma] behind the team were pressing onto them. 

• Faker says that he hasn’t seen any of the Worlds teasers. He literally had no time to watch any. He asks T1sooni if fans care a lot about it. T1sooni said yes, and that people literally wait for it because they wonder what line Faker is going to drop.

• The weather was foggy and rainy. But he avoided getting sick because his immune system is good. Everyone had their hands in their pockets because it was so cold, the director told them to do that. 

• Faker says the storyline is wild, IG vs T1 in a go home match. He asks T1sooni if she watched Worlds even when T1 wasn’t there. Like if knows about 2018 IG. T1sooni admits that she doesn’t.

• He says it’s strange seeing footage of himself from just a month ago because his hair was already long, and then he still couldn’t get a haircut for another month after that.

Game 1 vs IG: Doesn’t want to hurt his teammate’s feelings

• At 2 mins, he says [jokes?] that bot laning could be better. T1sooni says they are getting hit a lot.
• In lane at 5 mins, he misplays by flashing too early against Ryze.
• At 10 mins at the dragon, he says that the fight seemed off but says lets skip forward. T1sooni says that he keeps saying that things could be better but never explains it.
•  Faker says that if he goes too deep, his teammates might get hurt. But goes into a bit of detail for this fight.
• Keria’s W direction was off; it needed to be more toward 11 o’clock.
• Oner’s Trundle pillar came out late. Oner shouldn’t be pressing R, he should have his finger on E, ready to instantly pillar. 
• Gumayusi’s ult was too late. He should have ulted as Alistar Q hits Rek’Sai. But he ulted 1.5 seconds too late. 
• Faker says that explaining everything would take forever and tells chat that it’s just the first game of Worlds.
• He misses W at 12 mins, and says that his skillshot could have been better. T1sooni and Faker try not to laugh. 
• During the sequence before Atakhan, Faker is quiet for a couple of minutes, just watching replays. 
• T1sooni  asks if it’s because he’s too disappointed to speak; he says yes. 
• He also questions what his teammates were doing around mid at about 24:30–25:00.

TheShy’s Rek’Sai Dive (Mid Lane)

• They rewatch the mid dive where TheShy’s Rek’Sai and Wei’s Qiyana tries to kill Gumayusi’s Sivir at 30 mins.
• Faker that play was more Wei’s fault since Qiyana went flash Q Smite. If Qiyana went Flash, E, Smite, Q then Gumayusi would have died since the Smite breaks the spell shield. 
• Even if the ult doesn’t hit, the 2nd Q would have been enough. But anyways they win the fight because of that.
• T1sooni asks Faker about his timing with Seismic shove to get both Rookie and Gala. Faker says that this was more enemy mistake. 
• Faker also says Doran’s play near the end of the game was disappointing when he dives in and dies.

Game 2 vs IG

• Faker says Rookie’s Orianna laning was very impressive this game
• At around 3:49, the fan asks where the misplay is because Faker keeps rewatching and saying Ohhh, ahhh, ohhh. But Faker says that particular play is fine.
• Faker calls his own Akali at 19 minutes in the mid lane really bad, and he’s very disappointed in it. He also says Oner’s play in the top lane near Atakhan was good.

Untara Joins the Stream

• Untara properly joins and breaks snacks + drinks.
• Untara jokes that during Reviews, Faker should try watching their wins. Faker says this game was a win. Untara says it wasn’t and watching Faker review this game hurts his heart. But it’s also kinda cool. Faker also jokes a bit by saying ahh this skillshot, it’s like to rage bait Untara. 
• Untara asks T1sooni whether she actually understands what Faker is talking about when he says “there’s a mistake here.” T1sooni says that she would like to know the details, since he heeps saying ahh there’s a mistake. 
• She says that sitting there she feels like Dormammu stuck in a time loop. Faker jokes and says that if he explains everything, it might take three hours.
• He reviews the next fight at 26 mins: 
• His skill usage was disappointing, Keria’s engage was also disappointing, Oner’s flash + ult looked a bit strange but worked, and Guma’s MF ult came out a bit late.
• They check the time and it’s been 37 mins since Faker started to stream and they are still on game 2. 
• Untara says that they should switch to a game that T1 actually won, so Faker he skims forward because after T1 get aced top as the game is pretty much over
• Untara says that they should vote to skip to the AL or KT series. Faker and Untara ask T1sooni  what she wants.
• Untara says the dopamine hit from the AL Game 5 was insane, and T1sooni agrees. Faker skips to the knockout stages. 

AL Teaser

• They watch the AL matchup teaser:
• Untara likes the overall vibe, especially the narrator’s delivery and tone. He asks if the background is green screen; Faker says it’s a real set.
• Untara says that even though T1 has a strong record vs LPL teams, he was still scared of facing AL. He asks Faker if he feels more comfortable playing against LPL teams. Faker says he doesn’t think about it.
• Untara then asks if Faker’s teaser lines were scripted . Faker says yes, there was a script.T1sooni  asks if they know in advance what the teaser will look like.
• Faker says no, he mostly just reads the lines he’s given. He has no idea what the other people will say.

Game 1 vs AL

• Untara asks if the draft is good and talks about liking Sion over Rek’Sai and Rumble. T1sooni agrees that she likes Sion the best.
• Faker mentions that he and Doran spent about three hours in 1v1s going over the Rek’Sai vs Sion matchup, with Faker playing both sides. Untara and T1sooni both laugh at this. 
• Faker points out that Oner’s first gank should have been a kill Untara explains to T1sooni that Faker should have held Taliyah W for when Oner stuns. 
• Faker jokes that the plays are so scuffed he wants to go play ranked to practice.
• At around 20 mins, Faker turns around to look at Untara. Untara says that the game looks good, Faker says it could be better. Untara then explains to T1sooni that Faker’s standards are extremely high. So for him to think something is good it has to be 100/100, even 1 mistake is bad for Faker.  At around 27 minutes, Untara says that the call made by Keria was sexy. Faker asks Untara how he knew Keria made the call. Untara says he watched all the voice comms.
• Untara also asks Faker, who says that he made the call to chase AL after the dragon because they had tempo advantage. 
• After that, he says, they snowballed the lead and closed out the game. Untara jokes that they should  skip games 2 and 3. Faker looks at him but proceeds to skip those games.

Game 4 vs AL

• Untara says that Faker’s level 1 trade was good. Faker says that the trade could have been even better, and that he should have had an extra 100 gold in value. But it's a Viktor vs LeBlanc trade secret / business secret, so he won’t reveal the details.
• Overall, Faker says Game 4 was really good and felt very solid. The game is essentially over by around 12 minutes after the top dive, so Faker wants to skip ahead.
• T1sooni insists there’s still Keria’s play to watch, so they stay a bit longer.
• Faker acknowledges Keria’s clone fake as the best possible play in that scenario, and they all lightly clap for it. After that, Faker skips to the end.
• Untara tells T1sooni that at the very highest level, having a 2k gold lead with certain comps means the game is basically decided, because the early game matters so much in pro play.

Game 5 vs AL

• At around 2 minutes, Faker invades raptors and is annoyed that he didn’t steal the big raptor. Untara calls Faker a greedster.
• Untara mentions that Oner later said his own level 3 pathing was a mistake, he should have taken bot-side crab or started around bot, but instead Tarzan ganked their bot
• Untara says he heard Faker mention Mundo W in the voice comms and asks him what it does. Faker answers that he should just read the skill description.
• Untara jokes about Oner’s Mundo going viral at 8 mins for missing a lot of Q’s in a row. But he tells T1sooni that as long as Oner positions for bot to safely push it doesn’t really matter if he hits the Q’s. Faker says at least Oner hits the last Q. 
• Untara clowns Oner for ulting at half HP at 2nd dragon.
• At the river fight around 14 minutes, Faker says their focus was split, so there was no way they were winning that fight cleanly.
• Untara talks about how he thought the Atakhan fight was going to go badly for T1. He asks Faker to point out all the mistakes in that teamfight; Faker just says “okay” and moves on without going into detail.
• Faker criticizes Oner’s build as very bad after he gets blown up at 25 mins. Before the game, he told Oner to build Spirit Visage. Instead, Oner went for Despair, so he kept getting blown up.
• Faker comments that there have been a lot of misplays during the Baron fight at 26 mins but maybe that’s inevitable in a Game 5. Says that Guma had a penta kill angle but he won’t go into the details because that’s a secret.
• Untara talks about the Elder fight, how people were saying that with AL’s comp and a 4k gold lead, the dragon soul didn’t matter. 
• Untara sees Faker stutter for a bit and move with his team. Untara is saying that Faker probably noted that he didn’t have enough time to cancel Aatrox from backing so he decided to move with his team. 
• Faker tells Untara that it didn’t matter whether Aatrox TPs in, he had already calculated they would win the fight, so he decided to group with the team.
• They skip to the end of the game. Faker then asks if they should do the skin vote now, since there isn’t much to watch in the semifinals from his perspective, because those games ended so quickly.

KT vs T1 History Recap

• Untara almost trips in his chair.  They move into the KT vs T1 rivalry recap.
• Faker jokes that Zaahen and LeBlanc (casters/hosts/performers) must have pulled a lot of all-nighters because their eyes are so red.
• Untara asks Faker if he remembers much from his early SKT days; Faker says not really.

• She says back then it felt like SKT could never lose to anyone. Now it feels like T1 could lose to everyone.

• Untara starts talking about how people should go back to watch the old games to fully get immersed the story

• During the autograph signing for the Finals, the pen wasn’t working so Faker had to press down hard to write

Finals Opening Ceremony 

• Faker actually watched the opening a bunch of times
• Faker asks Untara if Chrissy was singing live or if she was lipsyncing. Since it is very hard to both sing and act that well with your face at the same time. He also asks if lipsyncing is illegal in China
• Untara and Faker continue, Faker thinks it is lipsyncing while Untara asks him if he has tried. Faker says no way.
• Faker says the Atakhan during the finals is scary. During rehearsals he was thinking people are going to be scared of this guy. Zaheen was also scary at the end
• Faker asks Untara if G.E.M is wearing a Yunara cosplay
• Untara tells Faker and T1sooni  he was looking at the Xin Zhao in the background, when G.E.M was singing, because he was slightly moving, everyone laughs.
• Faker laughs at Doran’s face, he looks scared
• Faker cringes at Oner’s wink and asks Untara if Oner was winking. Untara said that Oner said his eyes were itchy. And it seemed truthful because of the way Oner said it. Faker but Oner winked so casually, so he doesn’t believe him.
• They argue and eventually ask T1sooni  and she said it was a wink.

Finals teaser

• Faker didn’t get to watch the teaser. He says they took a spaceship to go film the teaser, 3 days before the Finals. Untara asks how they can breathe. Faker says that there is a set in the space station. T1sooni asks about the Gravity and Faker said he was scared of falling down.
• Faker jokes that for the T1 vs EDG play, rather than say anything about Wolf’s engage, it  should be Orianna’s Shockwave, that’s the rule. Untara argrees and even mentions he knows how the English cast called it too. 
• Faker asked T1sooni and she was like Huh. He says it’s ok because she’s a support player
• Faker said that Him and Keria were crying because they got dust in their eyes
• Faker says Cuzz congratulated them a lot after the Finals and that he’s a good person.
• Faker gets ragebaited by Untara after Untara says there are people in the chat that believe that the teaser background was real.
• T1sooni points out the star detail in the teaser. Some players have stars in their eyes so they are trying to keep them while others don’t so they are trying to reach for it.
• Faker asks why Doran has stars in his eyes then. T1sooni says its because T1 said they gave him their strength in the teaser.
• Untara calls her a real T1 fan for noticing details like that

Game 1 vs KT

• Untara says the early game was rough because you could feel T1 constantly losing early ground.
• Faker was wondering how Bot lost their early lead. Gumayusi died after his TP.
• He was aware of the scary ashe arrow in the mid lane
• Untara asks Faker what he was thinking during the comeback Dragon fight, or if he was just focused on the fight. Faker says yes
• T1 got a big lead after the Atakhan fight, Faker mentioned that he reviewed that fight on Doran’s stream. Game was over after 30 mins

Game 2 vs KT

• Faker asks if Untara and T1sooni want to skip to game 4. 
• So he skims through most of the game except for his Zhonya’s at 35 mins
• Usually he has Zhonyas on 2 but this time it was on 3. So he presses it by mistake when Sylas E’ing.
• Faker says the last teamfight was very close, T1could have won the last fight. But Deokdam’s reaction was very good, he was able to arcane shift and flash a very hard to react Sylas chain. So that was very well played.

Game 4 vs KT

• Untara says Anivia was so good into their comp, Faker says it was fun. Faker says he’s missing quite a bit of CS in lane. He shouldn’t have died for first blood, so that’s a bummer
• At 11 mins, Untara says that Faker mentioned that this fight was bad. Faker agrees, and says it’s a secret. 
• Untara is telling Faker that it is impressive that Faker dodged all the Morde Q’s inside his R. Faker jokes and says that dodging doesn’t matter if his teammates lost the fight. 
• At 22 mins at the Dragon, Faker says he made a mistake. Untara jokes with T1sooni  about another trade secret and scolds chat saying that they don’t need to flash. Faker says that he didn’t need to flash there.
• He jokes with Untara and asks if he should explain it or keep it a secret. Untara tells him they have kept everything a secret so far so it will feel wrong to only reveal this one
• Faker then says he will keep it a secret
• Faker says the game was over after Ocean soul. If the gold lead is over 4k with that type of comp you don’t have to watch the rest 
• Faker skips to the end
• Untara asks Faker one more thing. If he was even a little bit scared with Bdd’s 3 man ult at the end
• Faker says no. Asked what he said in comms [ which was “it’s fine”]. He said that because there was 0 kill threat. If the game was close, he would think about things like that, but he didn’t need to.  

Game 5 vs KT

• Skim through most of the early game with them just watching Doran laning until Oner ganks PerfecT for first blood. Untara is analyzing the play and  Faker says not bad.
• At 17 mins, Faker says hmm. So Untara asks Faker if he can reveal a trade secret. It doesn’t have to be the full 100%, just something small like 20%. Faker says No! They all laugh.
• For Doran’s death at 21 mins, Faker says he gets what Doran was trying to do (Doran was trying to buffer Camille Q while E’ing way but Yorick wall blocked his E). So Doran is declared not guilty.
• Untara asks T1sooni  if she was still nervous after T1 aces KT at 22 mins. She said yes because she was still focused on the game.
• Faker just says from there on out the game is over and they all laugh. The game was in such an advantageous spot that they could just close the game out. 
• During the lead up to Guma’s MF ult, not using Galio ult ended up being the right call because if he did use it, KT would have backed off.
• He didn’t use Galio ult there because he knew Camille wouldn’t die and T1 was already set up so it was hard for KT to walk in so it was more of a KT misplay.
• He skims to the end and they all clap at the end
• And that ends the review. Faker thanks the guest, Untara escorts her out.
• He turns donations back on and again gets spammed by skin requests
