Surprisingly I didn’t see any thread translating Chinese reactions, so here they are:
李相赫，今年皮肤柜里面又添了件新衣服
Lee Sang-hyeok, you just added a set of new clothes in your skin wardrobe.
登神？Faker直接把自己焊在神座上了，皮肤选心心念念的阿狸了🐶
真晕了 本以为是最辉煌的一年，结果是黑暗的一年
亚运会开始就不对劲了
Become God-like? Faker literally welded himself onto the seat of God, he is going to choose his long awaited Ahri skin isn’t he🐶

决赛3把纯被虐，小插曲:5个F闪赢了5个D闪
硬实力上确实就京东还能摸到一点。。但英雄池和战术被完爆了。。skt目前可以说是独一档了
All 3 games in finals is pure bullying, as an extra bonus: 5 F-Flash beat 5 D-Flash
Reply: When it comes to skill only JDG can match a little, but champion pool and macro are too far behind, T1 is a tier on their own
冷知识：t1今年打lpl四个队的战绩是11：1
加上去年8：1吧，对手换了一圈就京东赢了两把，19比2
Fact: T1 is 11-1 against all 4 LPL teams
Reply: If you include last year’s 8-1, opponents are different but only JDG took 2 games, 19-2
3把碾压局，把把摧枯拉朽一般，真不知道wbg为决赛准备了些什么。
准备啥也没用 纯纯硬实力差距太大
3 games of stomps, every game is so rotten and crap, I have no idea what WBG prepped for this finals
Reply: There’s no point in prepping, the skill gap is too big
史上最勾八难看S决赛，没有之一。
没打之前就知道啊 打个抽签队而已 只不过我不知道为啥虎扑这么多人在那尬吹
This is the worst finals in the history of Worlds, no question
Reply: We already know this before the match. WBG only got here because of lucky draws. I have no idea why so many people here are hyping WBG up
最黑暗，s56了解下
s56是看不到希望，这是希望在你眼前被活生生抹杀掉，更绝望
Darkest Worlds ever, barring Season 5 and 6 [not sure about this translation]
Reply: In Season 5 and 6 you could see no hope from the start, this time around you are given hope only to have it taken away at the very last second right in front of your eyes, it’s even more hopeless
姜承録绷住了整个世界赛，并在四强回光返照让大伙愕然，可是，所有人都未曾想过，你能在决赛没绷住，梦回LPL下雨时代，3场本年度最重要的比赛，你交出了接近1-20的成KDA……
连续四个LPL队伍?没想到绝世好签竟是t1
TheShy…you kept your int to yourself for the entire Worlds, and in Top 4 you shocked everyone by carrying the shit out WBG. But, beyond anyone’s wildest imagination, you could no longer hold your int in the Finals. Throughout your time in the LPL, this is your most important series in 3 years, yet you nearly gave us a KDA of 1-20…
Reply: Got to play 4 LPL teams in a row? I didn’t know the one who got the lucky draw is T1!
恭喜T1，面对LPL一穿四。Oner是吧亚运会的气全撒在LPL身上了吗？？zeus，小k蜕变的一届世界赛，guma一如既往的世界赛限定。恭喜Faker重回神座，“下山的路有点吵，回来看看谁在叫”
京东是唯一的胜者拿了一小局
Congrats T1, they 1v4 against the LPL. Is Oner spreading the spirit of Asian Games to all of LPL? Zeus, Keria transformed into such great players in a year, and Guma is always performing well at Worlds. Congrats Faker for returning to the seat of God. “The walk down the mountain is a little noisy, I’m returning to see who’s shouting.”

T1只怕geng，其他的谁都不怕 [图片]
t1这状态，GEN来也白扯
T1 is only afraid of GENG, they are not afraid of anyone else
Reply: T1 in this form? GENG can never match them
LPL这次真的被打回原形了，估计热度以后会很低很低了
吹上天的上单被打成1/16，真的搞笑
LPL got beaten back to reality, I’m guessing our popularity will be much lower than before
Reply: The most hyped top laner got 1-16, this is a jokes
Sort of. Caedrel went over this in depth - 369 showing he can’t play Rumble forced JDG to ban it, his Aatrox isn’t that good and he doens’t play Aatrox counters (unlike Zeus), so yeah these posed big problems. But Knight not playing Azir was a very big issue when the meta is Ori Azir Neeko, it allowed T1 to ban Neeko then leave Ori open since they either take the Ori or soft counter it with the Azir as Knight can’t play it. And then Missing doesn’t really know how to play ranged support to the same level as Keria, with Missing’s Rakan banned Keria’s support pool in that meta was impossible to answer.
Basically this meta was absolutely perfect for T1 in addition to the players improving. I hope the roster stays together though because the meta will shift and I really wanna see if they’re now just better irrespective of meta, I mean it makes sense they would improve over time given that they were rookies previously crumbling under tremendous pressure and super high expectations, now they are World champs after overcoming this mental hurdle and every aspect of their play is improved. Oner especially being super proactive early against elite jungelrs was so refreshing to see given that up till this Worlds that part of his game has been the main weakness. I think if the meta shifts (e.g. tanky/engage supports or enchanters) we will still see this T1 be insane, they just need to persuade them all to stay.
