Lived up to his name in the end

It's official. Gbay can predict the future. Any player he makes a video on like this reaches/wins Finals

Scout finally won Worlds! Congrats, EDG! Edit: And he’s also a Finals MVP, I’m so happy for him 😄

Just as a short note, a few people have pointed out I unintentionally glossed over Meiko (EDG's support) who's been with EDG this whole time too, even longer than Scout. This documentary obviously focused on Scout, but he also deserves credit for sticking with the team through their dark days until their recent resurgence :)

Gbay has a talent for making me care about players I never even would've given a moment's thought to. First it was Huanfeng and now Scout.

The Gbay Buff actually exist. So happy EDG and Scout won worlds this year!

I came back to this video to tell everyone: HE IS GOING TO FINALS! Edit: He just won finals against DW! And also got the MVP!

EDG JUST WON WORLDS AND SCOUT WAS CROWNED MVP OF THE SERIES LETSS GOOOOOOOO !! They did it....they finally broke the curse....by defeating DAMWON

Now he won worlds, seems like watching this before Worlds was a good idea

"pawn started suffering from severe back pain..." *Immediately sits up straight*

the fact that gbay didn't talk a single time about Meiko make me hope there will be a documentary on him someday

Scout did it, what a mad lad

I remember gbay99 making a story about Huanfeng last year. Then Huanfeng and his team went all the way to the finals. Although they didn't win, they still gave us one of the best worlds championship series ever, especially game 2. I also remember watching every game they played at worlds that year starting from the groups stage, all because of gbay99, and ngl they were one of the most exciting team to watch that year. The Gbay99 buff for Scout will surely take him and his team to places.

If I had a nickel for everytime i rooted for an LPL team I had no connection to because gbay made a documentary, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.

Btw in the last EDG vlog, when the players took the bus to the airport, you see Aaron telling the players "Lastly, I hope we can make a promise to each other. Let's not meet in the next two weeks." and crying when the bus drove away

The one be forgotten? He is now the world champion! The junior of SKT finally becomes the legend of EDG!

2 seconds ago, they won 2021 WORLDS👍👍👍 EDG 3 - 2 DAMWON What a game! Congratulations scout and the entire edg team.

If EDG wins worlds you need to make a part 2!!

31:08 this made me almost cry man, EDG saved Scout and Scout saved EDG

the best part about this is that EDG actually has a nice shot in winning worlds when you think about it

There's just something cool with someone dedicating their entire pro career to a team and actually be able to win in the highest stage as the most valuable player. Glad that someone has documented Scout's journey in the pro scene.

Poor Meiko. Being forgotten every time when Gbay mentions the roster shuffles. Great docu nonetheless

Today, EDG finally break the curse and redeem itself! Congratulations!

Everyone in these EDG roster needs a documentary himself, specially, Flandre, the man who tell jokes when it plays in tournament for maintain the cheers in his teamates

BRO IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE, THE MOMENT THAT GBAY DOES A VIDEO OF A PLAYER BEFORE WORLDS THEN THAT PLAYER REACHES TO THE FINAL - HAUNFENG AND SCOUT XD

The most satisfying thing about this is the fact that at Worlds, Scout and EDG are in the same group as....Faker and SKT, now known as T1. Scout finally comes in as the better player of the two, with a chance to finally exact revenge. Unbelievable.

Who's here after Scout makes it to the World Final!? Edit: EDG just won Worlds!!!

They did it, they are now the 2021 world champion against DK the curse is over

At this point whatever team Gbay makes a doc on for worlds just becomes one of my favorite teams I think. First SN with Huanfeng now EDG with Scout

This feels like the hero story now after the last game today.

This video aged very well.

you mentioned scout was the only constant through EDG's history but Meiko was there all the years aswell (and he's also an LPL legend, probably one of the most influential supports of all time) despite this, watching this after the 2021 world's finals give me the chills. scout finally got what he deserved after grinding for years, truly a heartwarming story

SCOUT MVP FOR EDG ''' i got revenge for faker''

Videos that aged like fine wine.

I think it would be really cool to reupload an extended version now adding the story of this worlds to the end. From stumbling in groups by dropping a game to 100T, to breaking the curse against against the msi-champion in RNG, to almost loosing against the arguably worst team left, so they go into finals as massive underdogs just to somehow win it in a 5 games series. When EDG believed in him he payed them back and now when he believed in them and stayed with them they payed him back, by not only breaking the curse but also winning it all.

I really hope scout wins worlds this time, he's a LEGEND.

What is so fascinating to me with EDG's win at summer playoffs, was that it was not only redemption for EDG, and for Scout, but it was at this moment that a player long stuck on a team that almost made it, that almost made it to an international tournament year on year. With snake esports with his old pal SoFM, and with LNG after the rebrand. Flandre is going international baby. I am an LNG fan, but at my heart if EDG wins worlds I would be over the moon, Flandre has long been one of my favorite players and I am so happy he finally made it.

Gbay documentary blessing > EDG curse

THEY'RE GOING TO FINALS HOLY HYPE

Watched this video on release and now I'm watching it again today after celebrating Scout and EDG's heroic victory at the 2021 League of Legends World Championship. No one in the history of this sport has struggled, fought, and persevered like Scout has. This was truly an anime-esque story arch for a player who will go down as one of the greatest players of all time and a true role model for aspiring competitors. Congratulations Lee Ye-chan, you earned it!

Wow, I honestly was always a diehard NA fan, never paying much attention to the Eastern League teams, but this really opened my eyes to some amazing tales and I think I just might be an EDG convert now. Let's fucking go Scout

Most underrated player at worlds tbh

And he is now a World Champ, Grats to Scout and EDG, ggwp

And now. The World champion finally

Okay I want EDG to win worlds now

Well Today he, and his team made it to the 2021 semifinals :D

I think you need a second Video on edg now! Cant wait!!

HOLY MOLY GBAY IS A PROPHET. I AM SO HAPPY FOR SCOUT

HE WON HE FUCKING WON OMG!!!!!.

"hopefully finding a better team to play for that wasn so cursed" proceeded to join kt

scout finally getting the recognition he deserves as worlds champion and finals mvp

And he did it.

Quick note: Chinese fans call scout 小學弟，which in context means he’s the understudy （to faker) . I hope this year’s worlds he can show that he’s his own unique mid laner, and one of the best in the world

Meiko definetly deserves one of these docs too! Absolute beast that stayed with EDG for pretty much the entire time.

Amazing video ❤️🔥 Edit happy he made it to Semis 🌚🔥 Edit he won it 😭❤️

There are a lot of players I would want to see a documentary next, namely smeb, khan, and others but honestly I really want to see Deft, in terms of longevity he is only second to Faker, arguably the 2nd greatest ADC of all time, and the greatest ADC Korea produced, he has MSI, LCK, and LPL, 1K kills in LCK and LPL, the only thing he does not have is a worlds trophy which seems that every year he gets a chance to get one, he blows it everytime, and now that his career is losing time, his desperation to win a title shows by his work ethic and even if he has back problems which causes him pain in game, he never stops to try and reach his goal, Deft docu would make my year honestly gbay! only halfway through the scout vid but ik this is going to be a banger

Watched this documentary before Worlds started. Couldn't be happier that a player this dedicated to his organization not only won Worlds, but also won MVP.

Won worlds and won MVP! GJ SCOUT!

It's a shame that Meiko was so glossed over because he has such a fantastic relationship with Scout. They're the longest-lasting teammates in LPL history (since 2016, so Scout's whole career in LPL Meiko's been his only team support). In that time between Summer 2020 and Spring 2021 splits, it was both Scout and Meiko's contracts there were up and both of them could have potentially left EDG but they both stayed. Scout congratulated Meiko in post-game interview for when the EDG support got his 6000th assist (LPL record) and said he hoped they'll continue playing together for a long time. Meiko also refers to him as a great friend in his Players Tribune essay (a fantastic read!). And now Viper (the ADC Scout scouted~ for the team) along with Meiko are often referred to as the best 2v2 bot-lane in the world. It's such a great narrative and like~ Meiko really adds to Scout's lore Also some of my fave insights on Scout come from Frosk's casting of 2021 LPL Spring EDG in the Playoffs when they 3-0'ed TES: he's a quiet god of the midlane, as he has always been greatly overshadowed by the World Champion midlaners he's subbed for (Faker, PawN) and by the other big World Championship players in the LPL (DoinB, Rookie, etc.). He grew into his own as this quiet god of the midlane who does the job his team needs him to and doing it well. It's such a cool title imo~ The Quiet God. (Pretty accurate too as he's the least chatty in the team comms. Even Viper who's still learning Chinese is more talkative in game or in streams.) Now he's a World Champion himself with a skin for a champion he really likes (Zoe~ incidentally Frosk also referred to Scout as the best Pro Zoe player in the world and now he has the skin to show for it). So like, yeah~ 加油Scout！加油EDG！ 2v2

And now the curse is broken. Congrats to LPL and EDG!!

who's here after EDG won worlds?

Thank you for making this documentary Scout deserves a lot of recognition.

I'd love a follow up to this following their worlds victory vs an on form dwg, I'm sure I'm not alone in this! Such a compelling narrative

Both times you made a video on a Worlds player their team makes it to finals. Maybe Gbay was the real script writer all along.

just finished watching edg win over rng in the courter final and they broke the edg curse 😂👍👍

back here after scouts first worlds title :D

7/11/21 - SCOUT AND EDG ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!

Came back here after EDG won their 1st worlds congrats scout!

I swear this guy predicts who wins worlds through his documentaries

Would love to see a documentary on Peanuts Rise/"Fall"/seeming Rise again

Instantly thought of this video when watching his MVP Interview. What a great story and great bit of content.

And now he is a WORLD champion. This is a true example of consistency!!

To be honest, Viper is hardly a star when he was recruited. GRF lost LCK seat the year before. The case is very similar to their top laner Flandre. EDG's ability to hire good players from the underdogs is phenomenal.

Came back for this

Hell yeah, I was hoping you'd put out another video like last week. Glad to see this hasn't disappointed, and even more glad that we got a documentary with a cliffhanger.

It’s a good video but I have to figure out that Meiko is another veteran in this team. Both Scout and Meiko carried edg forward in those difficult days.

Damn, this is one of your best videos ever. That's 2 years in a row now that you've single handedly got me interested in watching worlds after quitting league 4 years ago.

And he won! Scout is a champion and MVP of the finals!

Not the first time i had a few tears in my eyes from a story of yours and hopefully not the last time. The loyalty of scouts is moving, truly.

watching this today. He didn't really EDG let them down.! salute to scout ! a long journey! A WORLD CHAMPION!

Imagine an SKT / EDG finals where Scout finally get's true redemption. Unlikely, I know, more because of how good DWK looks, but anything is possible in esports.

Man is a prophet.

Amazing video Gbay99, this makes me really happy that I'm working on a profile story for one of the collegiate players for my university and your work is always such an inspiration.

These documentaries are sooo good. I find myself rooting for these players and teams solely because of your work. Love them Gbay!

This aged like fine wine

This aged well.

I don't know how you do it but these documentaries are some of the few videos where I have to cry. Thank you for such emotionally engaging videos.

vids like this makes u appreciate the game so much more and its players even more. great vid

OMG I've been a fan of EDG since like 2014-2015 ish and as a fan I am so glad I stuck with them despite the insane odds against them. Congrats EDG for winning worlds! p.s scout really did return the favour by winning worlds xD

Thanks for that video, and for all others. Really love your documentary subjects choices. I'm big fan of Scout his story is really amazing, what a great video !

Coming here to say that I truly love your videos, that I watched this documentary and most importantly to say that Scout just won Worlds today just minutes ago(november, 6th)

Thank you Gbay for making this amazing video, this made me change the team i cheer for this worlds because now i know how badly scout wants to win and i would be so happy for him if he does win.

Thanks for making this video. As a fan for scout and EDG I am almost in tear. I really hope they can get what they want in S11. Scout has been waiting for a world champion a long time. His talent needs to be proved this time.

its insane how EDG was just a usual team for me and now im seeing myself being biased towards them in their matches, simply because of this video. great series!

Holy shit the goose bumps I’m getting from these videos man, props to Gbay, very few documentaries get this hyped up

I think we always find great stories way more relatable than great players. Amazing job as ever Gbay :)

Your best one so far, I think. Great job!

Video actually aged well

you are the ultimate content for league

Watching this after Worlds 2021 is some major story arc for Scout.
