In Korean and Chinese forums, most people consider Bang and Wolf the GOAT adc and support as they won 2 worlds and 2 MSI (Also Wolf was the 2017 MSI FMVP). They also think that Uzi and Meiko were not that good since Uzi didn’t win Worlds and Meiko has highly relied on his teammates.

On the other hand, Uzi and Meiko are often considered the GOAT, while Bang and Wolf are forgotten in Western communities.

I would argue that maybe East Asian people are more result-oriented from the cultural perspective. Also, Bang and Wolf didn’t perform well after leaving Faker, which is why people on Reddit ignore them.

But man, it’s been 13 years, and still, no team has managed to defend the world champion and win MSI and Worlds in the same Year. Isn’t that something? Faker-Bang-Wolf went to 6 consecutive international finals and won 4 of them with all the meta shifts. The best counter-example would be DK unable to win the 2021 MSI and Worlds, and T1 in 2022-2023 wining only one Worlds with such consistency and dominance. Isn’t Canyon, Beryl, Gumayusi and Keria good enough? We have to give some credit to Bang & Wolf Duo for staying at their peak consistently.

    2017 was the culmination of 3 straight years without a break for bang and wolf. They were both literally mentally destroyed, to the point wolf gets panic attacks from playing support on soloq. To boil down their entire careers into one tournament with 0 context is stupid as hell, when ardent meta is just one playstyle over the course of many different botlane metas.
