Had to rush this video a little bit at the end so I apologize if it seems a bit unpolished. I've got a lot more exciting projects in the works though that I can't wait to show you guys :)

"is Marin Happy?" "Former League of Legends player SKT1 MaRin is Married" LET"S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The last point is so true. He's got wife buff now, he should join back with a team and win Worlds.

Really glad to see someone cover MaRin. He definitely gets overshadowed by the SKT organization and even other SKT top laners like Impact, but he's doubtlessly one of the best. One thing I would've liked to see in this video, though, was the 2015 SKT vs CJ Entus spring playoffs series, a set that went to 5 games MaRin ended up saving by being the only member of SKT to have survived a team fight and teleporting behind CJ (who were barrelling down mid lane to end the game) and killing their minions, resulting in SKT winning a pivotal game vital to them winning the playoff title.

I remember that exact korean finals in which faker was bench later on an interview he said that the reason he was bench is because Azir was so broken and he can't play Azir and Easyhoon was like the best Azir in the world and later that season Faker grinded Azir so much that he would still play the champion until now.

2015 SKT was the GOAT SKT It's like, "Yeah, you've managed to keep an eye on Faker but how about MaRin that poses the same threat as Faker?"

I think Marin was a player that needed a very specific team environment to flourish. I think SKT was one of the only teams that was able to provide him with that suitable environment and allowed him to be the great player that he was. SKT was also very patient with Marin, and still believed in him even through the tough losses and frustrations. Teams that Marin went to after his time in SKT simply could not sustain a suitable environment for him, or were not patient enough to keep him for the long run. You cannot have SKT without the legacy of Marin, and Marin cannot have his legacy without SKT.

Marin streams in AfreecaTv. Its actually fun he plays alot of Pubg. Afreecatv community is so diff from twitch and its really fun to see him lead a amateur league team aginst other legends like Smeb Crown Pawn and others

Everytime I find myself uninterested in competitive LoL, Gbay drops another bomb to draw me back in! Also Gbay if you're reading this, you made me a Afreeca Freecs fan! Lets go!

I just have to say that these kind of videos might not get the views they deserve now, but they will in time. You are documenting a very important era in gaming and in 10-20 years people will still look back to videos like this and enjoy them. Keep up the good work Gbay!

I remember when everyone thought the Fiora rework was trash and Fiora was considered to be trash tier. Marin pulls her out in worlds and does one of the most devastating split pushes ever.

Hell yea, Marin was awesome. I started playing/watching league in 2015. So season 5 worlds was very special for me.

I think we can all appreciate how you let him have some humanity at the end there. Sports fandoms don't let their players be fully fledged humans too often. Was welcome.

He brought them up to take a bow alongside SKT. This shit has me tearing up.

That part at the end where he had Bangkok Titans come bow with them really got me in the feels 😭

It's great to see that even 6 years ago the greatest Reddit analysts were providing their professional input.

Never forget that legendary semi-final vs CJ Entus when Marin saved the day by pulling the mid lane minions with MaoKai. To the date, that's one of my favorite plays ever.

And now an Other Legend Born in T1 Zeus and he also WON The MVP Titel of Worlds as a Toplaner c:

MaRin was my favourite member of SKT and my favourite top laner of all time. He is the reason I still play Rumble (although I am a jungle main now). Thank you for this wonderful documentary on one of my favourite players ever, gbay. 😭

Coming back to this video 2 years later to mention that we have 2 new top lane mvps. Zeus being one of them

Can we appreciate him for never making us bored

The ending to this documentary brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Gbay, I love your documentaries so much.

One of your best videos Gbay

And now he's the new Head Coach for the Team Liquid for the 2023 season! Had to come here and watch this after the announcement. Thank you for the informative and great documentary.

You have to mention how Marin stall the whole CJ team for 30seconds alone and lead SKT to game 5. It still give me goosebumps today, and he is still my all time favourite player

This is the most memorable Worlds for me, as me and my Friends went to our Local Cinema to watch it Live, 70% of the crowd knew SKT would win because of their dominant season prior to Worlds. I was mailny playing top way back and Marin Vs Smeb was a dream matchup to watch, Also loved the Free championship Kalista when you bought a ticket. Thank you for bringing this back. Good times...

He was there when it was Skt's prime. He introduced me to Renekton thus making me main him.

Thanks for highlighting MaRin and his career bro! I'm astounded by so much history that you manage to dig up - The stuff with MaRin and kKoma was fascinating :O

the most vivid memory i have of marin is how infuriating his fiora was at worlds

What a wholesome ending

Really good vid. Brings back good memories. 2015 Spring was when I started watching lck. I was a CJ Entus fan. That Bo5 series vs SKT in Spring was a heartbreaker...

I've been a rumble main for a long time and Marin was always one of my favorite players to watch. Seeing someone dominate on your favorite champion always feels good.

I main rumble because of marin 🥺 i miss the old league of legends

Amazing video. Also a lot of people may not know this, but Marin is one of the only two people in challenger who's over the age of 30( the other is Kotae who's the best irelia otp in kr)

I love these videos and even though they arent popular at the moment i have a good feeling you'll pop back into the spotlight for the community. You're leaving behind a legacy people can appreciate for years to come

I got chills multiple times during this video because of all the amazing memories that came flooding back to me. Great job, keep them coming :)

There we go, a new Gbay documentary! I have been looking forward to Gbay doing what he does best :).

Another great video! I got teary-eyed when Marin got MVP :)

This type of videos are my favorite from you Covering the story of a team or a player is so interesting I really appreciate when it’s about retired players, because the players that are still playing are still writting their stories

Hey Gbay99! Long time fan. I took a two year break from most social media and entertainment. My break ended when I flew back to my hometown after living in Tennessee for two years. That happened to be one day after you posted this. I was so excited to see all the content you have made. I remember when I first got into League of Legends and discovered your channel sometime during season four. You've always been entertaining, but with an informative perspective I have always enjoyed. Thank you for being genuine, and thank you for creating many memories for myself and many others revolving around your interests and League of Legends. PS: I grinned ear to ear when I heard music from The Beginner's Guide toward the end of this video. Nice touch!

A heartfelt ending. Really like the way you framed the honor he gave the Bangkok team .

When going through the stars left in Korea at 29.30 you missed Ambition playing with Madlife. Easily a top 5 player of all time

I got to briefly meet MaRin at PAX aim Seattle just after they won 2015 worlds. He was there with Faker. They were unsurprisingly pretty quiet. There was a brief moment where they signed, and everyone rushed Faker, but I went up to MaRin and he took the time to sign my badge. Being a top laner, MaRin was always my favorite on SKT, and it was really cool to get to meet him in person. My favorite MaRin play of all time was the Maokai clutch against CJ Entus

That bo5 at MSI 2015 between skt and fnatic is to this day probably the best series of this game I've ever watched. Remember watching it live because they were both my favorite teams out of their respective regions. It did not disappoint.

Here after the 18-0 of T1 in LCK Springs

Thank you so much for taking the audio out of the Tyler1 clip 😂😂

I love your documentary videos, specially waking up and finding one in the sub box. To be honest I personally don't play League anymore, regardless of that, I do have many fond memories from the time I did play back in the day and seeing these videos makes me relive the good times. I am glad I was there. Thank you for the hard work and keep it up man!

Banger video my man, really brought back some amazing memories for me, and i am sooo glad that Marin is doing well. Keep at it, hope you the best!

This video is so nostalgic in so many ways

I feel happy after this, thank you Gbay, did my guy Marin Proud

Thankyou so much gbay. I've waited for so long to have this content / video of my Favorite player of all time Marin and im shocked that we had the same in game attitude / emotion i think thats why i like him a lot as a player since then. The first league tournament i watch is the Worlds 2015 and thats the time i see him but i felt so sad when he left. I even argue with my friends saying that smeb was the best of all top players even though marin can't keep up anymore. He's still the best underated top laner for me.

Another great one.... It's crazy how all of this happened while I was playing league but I never really saw it or was aware.. thanks gbae

I started playing League because of him, I miss him in the rift. I will love you forever 💗

so interesting how after this video, the next two mvps of the world finals were top laners. (kingen and zeus)

Alright Gbay been a fan for a while now and I love these documentary videos you make on players that didn't really have a lot of recognition. I love Marin as well and really hoped he would have stayed in T1 for longer. The only gripe I have about this video is during the 2015 MSI between T1 and EDG. You played the narrative off as if T1 were completely outskilled the entire series when it was an extremely close finals. And that Game 5 deserves it's own video as well, because it was actually EDG who baited T1 into picking Faker's (then) undefeated Leblanc, in order to counter his pick in particular and shutting down most of what Faker could do around the map. Yes in that series both Bengi and Marin didn't perform great but they were by no means considered less-skilled especially considering how young that roster was at the time. Other than that love the videos hope you keep it up my guy

im so glad you wrote about MaRin, he was majorly under appreciated. He was the veteran commander

I dunno if I've ever said this but you've almost single-handedly gotten me into league E-Sports and it's really interesting, even to my bronze ass lol. Thanks for sharing the cool story.

Crazy to believe he’s now Team Liquid’s coach, best of luck Marin!

glad to come back to this after back to back worlds mvps were top laners

Great stuff Gbay! You make the type of documentaries that even though I don't know/don't care about the subject, I just can't stop watching. Keep it up :D

Whenever you're down Gbay, remember you do not have to believe everything you think and you are not your thoughts. Felt the need to share this. Keep up doing what gives you energy!

This legend is finally talked about.

Thanks for this, Gbay :) Watching MaRin play got me hooked in League :) even if he didn't win a Worlds title after 2015, he did leave a legacy a toplaner can emulate :)

I've been watching Gbay for a long time now and this current type of content is just brilliant. Another great video!

As to that claim or assumption about MaRin's toxicity during the MSI, I think it's true because Bengi recently stated on a reality/interview show that Faker and MaRin frequently shouts and argues.

Imagine NA saying that korea would be 2 years behind forever.

I don’t play the game anymore, but I deeply respect the work you do to document the history for players to come.

Great video! I feel like the next one is going to be about Smeb in order to follow and finish the other half of this tale

Marin and Kingen now hold the distinct honor of being the only top laners to win MVP at Worlds :)

FINALLY SOMEONE MADE A LONG MARIN APPRECIATION VIDEO!!! 😭 MaRin is so underrated and oftentimes gets overshadowed by Faker but one thing we should know about this guy is that he's a great leader and shotcaller. His decisiveness and ability to remain calm against formidable opponents and tough matches made me admire and love him as a player. It's no surprise he's the only top laner who has won the Worlds MVP. Thank you, MaRin for bringing SKT T1 to where it is now. Edit: It's funny to think how MaRin, known for being a rager in CCB becomes so calm when he became part of T1. It shows how he's grown as a person in a right environment and management.

This is amazing! Solid documentary with amazing stats! I would love to see something like this for someone like Ambition, I think a lot of people would love to see that.

Good video gbay i love these vids talking about the old teams in league

If only Marin didn’t leave to LGD ;-;

T1 is just one Bengi away of winning worlds

Holy shit. When KKOMA walked into the booth in a T-shirt @14:56 was the first time I realized ive never seen KKOMA not in a suit.

I dont even play league anymore but your videos are the only league videos I still watch. Keep it up, love the Content!

I wonder where is the guy who posted on reddit saying Marin, Bengi and Wolf werent ever going to be world champions lol

Marin still plays, he is so underrated.

All of the names of these pro players gave me nostalgia. It reminded me of when i first started watching competitive league. I was watching EDG vs SKT inside a internet cafe and the people beside me were screaming during the teamfights. Fun memories

one of my favorite top laners ever. thank you for making a video about my boy marin!

Ngl the year he left skt was probably a hit or miss if he never left he would've helped skt win that year again cause the meta that year was thw juggernaut meta where top laners can solo carry games given the chance he should've never left skt but you know that's life

11 mins ago posted but already liked the vid, its going to be a banger aa always 🔥🔥

Great story, cool video. Never heard about Marin, was fun of BANG, but never notice that beast on toplane. Thank you for telling me that great story!

CANNOT WAIT for you to make a documentary about this years worlds

Love the content, my dude. Comments for the almighty algorithm!

Whoa that was unexpected player 😯😯 Hvnt watched the video, but I know it will be great 🔥🔥

Always nice seeing you posted

Quality content! This was a nice trip down memory lane

Wow someone else appreciates Marin, fantastic I thought I was the only one

I think you can do a video about T1 zeus lol

Yay glad to see you again Gbay!

this was beautiful man. I almost cry in the end

Now in 2023 you can remake this Video. The top laner that carried faker, T1 Zeus

Just to emphasize how genius was the Game 5 draft from EDG at MSI 2015. Faker at the time was 10:0 on LeBlanc. LB was his comfort pick, his series winning pick. But EDG knew that and they made sure to bait Faker to pick her and then to neutralize her with their draft (mainly Morgana mid, but also pre-rework Maokai). This truly 5Head strat (and of course its great in game execution) was in my opinion the main reason EDG won that Game 5. It was truly a shock to see Faker lose on his signature champ.

bro i've been a marin fanboy ever since 2015, but not a lot of people knew him, thank for making this video!

Absolutely amazing video once again! Keep up the amazing work you do! Riot you need to hire this man take videos on leagues history!!!!!

Finally people know how godly Marin was that season. Literally best player world back then.

2015 skt t1 will always be the best team ever, whenever a lane is losing, the other two lanes will carry the game, that's why they almost never lose during that summer split and worlds

So glad to see the old names of league and Montecristo commentating. Another amazing video Gbay!

Dude, this shit had me having some crazy nostalgia. Flashbacks to this team not losing a single T2 on World until Smeb went full split with Fiora in the Finals...
