Ever since 2020, TheShy has been the ultimate meme as the spearhead for all the toplane inters out there. He was inting games so badly that people used to genuinely debate on whether or not the guy even cares anymore considering he already won Worlds and is set for life. Despite having arguably the highest peak out of any player at Worlds in history from sheer mechanical and absolute dominance, he’s become the figurehead for all the uncontained coinflippers who only play to limit test and 4fun silly billy plays.

Now through the power of what could actually be Jesus Christ himself, he’s somehow found a way to make it back into a Worlds final as LPL’s 4th fucking seed alongside fellow washed up players + Xiaohu after having the freest quarter-final and the use of shameless mind control in their series against BLG.

Then you look at T1, WBG’s opponent, who are playing like literal greek gods right now. Having already beaten LPL’s top 3 seeds (and directly knocking out two of them), it’s like they’re destined to win this Worlds on Korean soil of all places. After 10 years since Faker’s first Worlds win, he’s yet again back in the finals after last year’s crushing defeat to reclaim his throne once and for all after knocking out his ultimate rival to deny LPL’s sacred golden road.

Every human being alive at this point wants to finally see him win it again. A whole new generation of players are now watching and they’ve never got the opportunity to see Faker be the best in the world despite all the hype surrounding him, and now this is it. There’s also the strong possibility that this is T1’s final series together as a roster according to rumors and the players themselves. This might be their last chance, and at this rate their victory looks almost inevitable.

Now imagine despite all this, WBG 3-0 dickslap T1 off the back of an MVP 1v9 performance from TheShy.

Like I’m imagining this shit rn in my head and I can’t stop giggling. All that hype and excitement completely dead in front of a heartbroken audience around the world all because of TheShy. Like imagine the utter disbelief witnessing prime TheShy return again out of thin fucking air, astrogapping Zeus as he carries the rest of his team already suffering from massive gold deficits three games in a row. The confusion would outweigh anything else in the moment.

I don’t want this shit to ever happen though and I’m praying for a T1 win, but holy fuck it would be the funniest thing to ever come out of this game by far. I don’t even think Weibo had more than 10 fans entering Worlds. The golden road still got denied and every LPL team got utterly embarrassed by T1 heading into the finals, then WBG just wins it all in the end anyways. The match would be studied for years revolving around what the fuck even happened all while TheShy gets his 2nd Worlds skin after the atrocity that was 2021 and 2022. Like just imagine if this is Faker’s final chance to win Worlds before retirement, and at the final hurdle he gets denied by fucking TheShy, the man who has literal inting compilations on par with his highlights.
