THE DARK SIDE OF FPX - IWD Reacts to "Make/Break - Episode 2" 

Tian tried his damndest to be pull himself and fpx together, it hurts that they fell apart so hard at worlds

How Fpx still did do well in both splits is incredible. Plus tian sure is a nice guy, watching nuguri just blank him when he attempted to try talk to him Korean broke my heart.

Nuguri: Comes in with the biggest resting bitch face Chat: "He's just shy, Dom."

TheShy didn't bother learning chinese but it didn't matter, he was always smiling and hanging around his teammates and interacting with them. Idk why people keep trying to defend nuguri, clearly he wasn't comfortable in his environment and he shouldn't have gone for the paycheck.

Dunno how I missed episode 1, but this is actually a damn good watch. I'm 100% watching LPL next season, not all of it cause thats insane but this league is SO much more interesting than NA.

Actually when the FPX episode came out in China, fans were critiquing the FPX coach staff and manager for not "scolding" their players enough. Which is true, compared to other LPL teams, FPX's coaching staff is rather "passive", they kinda let players do whatever they want. Chinese fans thought they could've been more harsh on Nuguri not being to blend in, or the Doinb and Tian incident. Tian is apparently going to TES with knight, which I think is really good because they've been friends for a really long time and they were both playing for YM before entering the LPL. Btw, the translator chose the words verbal beatdown but it just means yelling at them or scolding them.

I am glad Tian is able to move on to TES for the new season, hopefully TES won't shit the bed this time around.

Yes cant wait. Also my heart goes to Tian

Watched this on stream, and dom pointed it out but it still blows my mind how hard of a time nuguri had on fpx. Viper didn't say much, but you could tell he was trying his best to get along with his teammates, but nuguri straight refused to talk to anyone. I mean I guess viper got relegated from lck and then went 2-16 then next split and nuguri smashed the latter half of the year. But, it still blows my mind that he didn't try at all. Maybe going from canyon to tian broke him.

Side note, we dont get this type of content in LCS either. Like raw content like this showing who the players are, what trials and tribulations they go through. Failures, victories, all of this was good look on.

Hey at least when Regi starts berating Chinese TSM they'll all be used to it

i think Doinb and Perkz has the same attitude in the team. even if everything's going down the shithole they're the ones who'll try to lift the team's spirits up. all smiles, doesn't matter if it's a win or a loss.

"verbal beatdown" is a translation of "ma," which you could also say scold or reprimand, give a talking to, etc. But beatdown is pretty epic.

I don't know if the player facecams are synced with the game but the fact that Doinb solo killed Scout under tower and lived and then took a casual sip of his drink needs to be acknowledged. 19:51 is the timestamp if anyones wondering.

40:18 Nuguri probably got the verbal beatdown he so sorely needed.

It's sad to see this Champion team split apart and rebuild. But I‘m also glad to see these guys have promising future. Doinb with Ale and Tarzan, Tian with his best friend Knight, Crisp with Uzi, Nuguri back to his country. Sorry, I forget lwx.....

Depressing turn of events. We could get an idea but I didnèt expect Nuguri to literally close himself off that bad. Why even bother going to China then?

The algorithm saw fit to introduce me to your channel. As a new viewer, I've been seriously enjoying a lot of your content. Keep it up

The problem in NA is they want the end result without doing everything they need to make it there.

When people say “League is language” and language barriers don’t matter… Nuguri is a prime example of where they are wrong - The inability to communicate with your team can make you isolated and when you start to lose it will compound on those issues. This is why language barriers are a real thing and no amount of game knowledge will ever fix the language and cultural issues.

People like nuguri singlehandedly destroy teams, not just League but in every sport.

I've been watching Nuguri for years now and when he first went to FPX, my first thought was, how was he going to blend in with the different culture, language, everything. I would also say the same for Chovy. Chovy had also previously said in an interview that he won't go out of Korea because he knew that he would have such problems. The reason I say I was concerned about Nuguri is that even in Damwon, he was not the talker, in or out of the game. And he was also very stubborn with how he saw the game which I guess is the same for most players. Nuclear has said this and he had also said that Nuguri was the hardest working player he knew. The game is the only thing he knows. Also, I get why he would chase the bag too. He had said that what gave him happiness as a proplayer was that he could help his family at a young age and contribute to his parents' settlement. It's so easy to say "whatever" from an individualistic westernised perspective but it works so differently in the east. And he was excited for China too but things didn't go the way he planned and he ended up closing himself. Honestly, I still think that he pulled himself together very well in the games that really mattered Also, I guess even in Damwon, Canyon and Nuguri were the players I felt would not gel with a foreign team. Showmaker on the other hand has always been described by everyone as a perfect teammate/player. Also, Nuguri is my favourite player and I have been watching him since CK so I feel pretty bad watching him go through this and also the way he reacted to his situation.

Half the team was physically handicapped this year as well.

Previously we have Deft taught Meiko Korean so that they could communicate, Now we have Nuguri teaching Tian. Impressive

Chad Viper vs Beta Nuguri

Doinb mechanically cracked in game and irl

@32:00 i hope tian is all right with news that nugs is leaving and its not his fault and that he should not press himself thinking he did not do the max to get nuguri to stay or anything is his fault

i'm suprised you didn't make any comments on some of the things in the background. the large wall of electronics (i honestly have no idea what i was looking at) behind them in one scene, the mountain of water bottles stacked against the wall in preparation of a zombie apocalypse. can't wait for the RNG episode.

Now we know why the West can never beat the East at worlds. These players legit put everything into this game. Even their health and well-being. It’s honestly shocking how different the cultures are in respect to practice and the game from China to NA/EU.

Lpl’s gonna miss this when Regi starts giving them ptsd.

Imagine having Khan,Peanut,Doinb,Teddy and Gorilla as a team those guys would be meme Machine

I know that Doinb is kinda like the face of the LPL but I would kill to see him play in Korea for a year

Still pissed she never sent me the golden shower video

Ayy it's my birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better gift, thanks Dom and Jensen!

In china Azir is called "Yellow chicken" or "Goldend crispy chicken". No cap.

Nuguri: 😐

holy shit Doinb's teeth are literally perfect.

28:41 "comes from Taiwan China" 15+ social credit score 😁👍

Idk i still dont know the names but i think doinb is looking so much like an actual gekko its so funny not personal or anything but hes like the happy gekko meme xd

43:34 Not to mention Viper came off the worst season of his career from a wins perspective while Nuguri just had come off the best by Winning Worlds. I'm assuming viper had a reality check that year on Hanwa

18:39 "BOB ROSSUH!!!"

Hey dom can you react to the time you got reverse swept by lmq or 2015 gauntlet vs c9 and explain what went wrong? Would love to hear it from someone who had actually played these games! Video#10

next episode is about RNG

christ i never realized how fucking hilarious u are dom. that kfc part had me rolling

dom will you please react to the worlds moment and memories aswell from the beginning their really good watches and gave me really good nostalgia

Have to root for TES next split, TIAN FIGHTING!

Tian is my son must protect

man tht assistant coach seems in psychological distress every time u see him (the eyebrows and the nervous laugh to keep the illusion of him being all right, to not to shatter in a billion pieces), i feel so bad for all of them. cant believe people want to be pro players. shit is rough.

and one person will be crying after the game at the tsm louge

The Chinese language is very poetic.

Shout out to the thumbnail creator been making bangers for a minute

Nuguri has such a weak mentality. What a punk

Love this series, very fair review :)

That unhealthy chef comment took me out lmao

*verbal beatdown* 🥲

55:19 A wild Shenyi Sadge

Tian and Knight on TES will be a very strong team imo. I'm not too sure about the other members but considering that 2 members of the rumored super team are still in a team together I have high expectations

Wowie Edit: you can tell these guys want to win more than any team in NA last year.

EDG Staff diff

Love it Dom!

Wait, Doinb is Korean right? So he could actually communicate with Nuguri didn’t he? I’m not blaming him or anything, just surprised to think that Nuguri still don’t communicate even when there’s no language barrier (with him and Doinb).

Why do I start to feel NA is bad is not because of players it is because of fan.

cant believe im this early

Nuguri is really strong, but not suitable for FPX.

Dom, you didn't care enough about your own team to make you cry? You bring shame to ancestors!

Verbal beat down is just a bad translation of scold

It's official regey is just ahead of the gamr

Just comes out of the hospital , eats cancer giving disgusting 30 cent ramen noodles that will have him sh*tting blood for weeks. # efin Astro grief if ever iv'e seen one

The amout of taping on players necks and wrists is interesting. Dont think i have seen it used so extensivly on western players

I wouldn't blame Nuguri for his attitude but he wouldn't truly make a name for himself if he only wants to play with good teammates. True legends carry their teams, even if they are bad - that's how they make a name for themselves. He will only be known as the monster top laner like smeb and be forgotten afterwards if his mentality doesn't change.

The subs go by so fast I feel stupid

nuguri wtf???????????????????????????????? he needs some eq

I wanna watch at 2* speed but the subtitles are 2* speed at regular speed so it's unwatchable at 2*

28:44 Me: ". . . . . . . . . ., WAIT WHAT?"

After this documentaries I believe that Asian teams don't really feel happiness when they win internationally, but relief.

Imagine getting million dollar paychecks to act like a spoiled emo brat. It’s not even about whether he is an objectively good player or not, it’s about him being incredibly unprofessional and irresponsible as a grown man.

Scout diff taking in the fellow korean. Wonder how hard doinb tried.

Imagine Regginald giving Chinese players a "verbal beating" to the point that they start crying 😰😰

I wish they talked about worlds, it is the part I actually don't get at all how it happened

Pog

Im laughing cause they just puttered out at worlds immediately anyways lol

RIP FPX... The enternal chokers of the LPL.

Nothing will ever stop me from hating DoinB. His character, his way of playing, his champ pool, his appearance... Literally, every single thing about him I don't like

3rd

28:45 Taiwan China ???????

Always remember Taiwan is an independent country, not apart of China.

@IWDominate part 333333333
