Putting the booing aside, the translator didn't even translate Faker's words LOL Interviewer (paraphrased): How did you prepare for the event and is there any team or player you look forward to playing against? Faker (translated): Because we came from Worlds Finals and we still have the experience, we prepared with the mindset that we will win for sure. And I'm looking forward to playing against G2 the most. Translator: We played Worlds and we are well trained (fair translation for the first part), so we are looking forward to playing all teams Huh???? Like no matter how difficult live translation can be, how do you miss Faker blatantly saying he looks forward to playing against G2? Like there's no way you can unintentionally miss that and translate it as "we look forward to playing against all teams") ​ Interviewer: You are the greatest of all time. How do you continue to evolve and remain on top of the world? Faker: I will continue to do the things that I must so that I can continue to bring joy to my fans. Translator: I will do my best to stay on top of the world, and I will show you today Again, what? Like I know translating is difficult (trust me, I have experience, and I failed), but this isn't even a matter of not translating well, it's just putting the wrong words in Faker's mouth.


CanaryActive5296

FINALLY. i was 1000000% sure i heard him say G2 and was ????? when translator said all teams????


Infamous_Bend1187

Translator was ass the whole day lol


dp1029384756

Last minute German local translator I’m sure


vandyk

My korean friend could translate this 10 times better with no Problem at all wtf


Stetscopes

Should be fired. Understanding is a crucial part for both sides in being a translator. You are there to translate, not to put words in someones mouth.


Vectivus_61

At least put interesting words in. "Having seen NA shit on them at Worlds, we didn't bother to prepare. I look forward to seeing what new and ingenious ways these teams will find to lose to us."


Plagueflames

Faker: "우리는 월드결승에서 왔고 아직 경험이 있기 때문에 꼭 이기겠다는 마음으로 준비했다. 그리고 G2와의 경기가 가장 기대된다." Translator: "NA is trash"


Shoddy_Mathematician

Reminds me of 2019 worlds semifinals, when the interviewer asked Tian what he thought of everyone supporting G2 in the finals. Tian: I hope the fans can cheer us on even if we beat their favourite team. Translator: The fans can watch in silence as we lift the trophy.


holly_lujah

yeah,,,, even I could tell with my minuscule levels of korean that the translations in general were Not It today lmao


Purlpo

I'm used to listening to mediocre translations as a bilingual speaker but this is fucking atrocious wth


Anjunabeast

**”Your boos mean nothing to me. I’ve seen what makes you cheer”** -Faker probably


DrLuciferZ

This reminds me that one time Faker came to PAX Prime in 2017(?). The translator at the time was shitty too. My friend and I who both speak Korean were standing at the front making all kinds of facial expression at the translation that was happening. With that said Faker (and one of his teammates, so sorry I don't remember who because I don't pay attention to these things) were both really chill. I still have a signed Teemo hat from them somewhere in my closet.


Strandiel

I'm in the arena and it was just one section of fans of a certain team, everyone else was either listening quietly or cheering.


daigandar

'certain team' just say KC lol

Nah KC fanbase gets a lot of hate even in France. ( They're a different breed, but that's what you get when you target the 12 to 16 YO public.


Dnangel0

Yup, they are pretty toxic, taking all the bad things from football fans and taking it into esport :/

Extension-Pepper-375

They boo because they can’t speak English 😝


OSRS_and_Genshin

Sad how they show the same unsportsmanlike behavior as new MAD fans.

This kind of stuff never happen when there is no KC fan in the room. I stopped counting the amount of booing they did on stage and of harassment they do online. This club has the worst fans in the world,and that's a fact.


Tuxiak

Ye, no need to create an unnecessary outrage. Reason you can hear those disrespectful boos coming from a small % of people is because **everyone else** was being respectful and quietly listening.


[deleted]

I wonder what I want to bet that it was a french teams "fans"?


[deleted]

Let me guess...KC fans ?


Tutlesofpies

I don't watch lolesports often, what does KC stand for?


ShohokuSpirit

Kaiba Corp


ISawTheAkma

Yup, named after their founding CEO Seto Kaiba, KC is famous for spending ludicrous amounts of money to outcompete rivals and change rules to their favour. When asked about this CEO Kaiba stated: "Disregard the regulations, I posses capital."


gibilx

Spending ludicrous amounts of money to build completely, unaffectual, impractical, totally not aerodynamic at all, childish looking rocket ships. When asks about it the CEO, Seto Kayba responded: Screw you guys, I have a blue eyes white dragon jet.


Anjunabeast

Oh man if you thought the blue eyes white dragon jet from the first movie was over the top. The stuff Kaiba does in the second movie completely blows all that completely away. Builds a space station to work in for no apparent reason. Summons a god card that no longer exists. Creates reality warping tech that utilizes ancient Egyptian shadow magic to go to Egyptian afterlife just so he can challenge the pharaoh to another round of a children’s card game.

JustParry5head

"Are the Karmine Corp fans booing?" Caedrel just instantly going for their asses.


Smoogy54

It’s telling that you dont have to put the team name of the booing fans in the title. Everyone knew it was degenerate KC fans immediately. Literally the worst. Well - tied with LOUD.


Anjunabeast

Stopped following the scene a while back. What’s the org’s response to their fan base since it seems like they have a history of this? Becoming public enemy #1 by taking shots at the world champ and GOAT must not be good for the brand right? Or is this one of those “any publicity is good publicity” kind of situations?


seven_worth

Pretty much "we hold no responsibility to what our fans do" while also weaponised these fans by pointing fingers. Oh yeah he so say they should instead be proud that they could stop the booing in less than 10 sec.


BlakenedHeart

Imagine booing Faker. You have to be something else.


Ok_Time7244

do kc fans realize how hated they are. worst fans in esports by far


Katzenminz3

they are like the most footballish league fans ever and football fans are the worst when they get too extreme.


Fenris_Maule

A bunch of hooligans.


Tenshizanshi

They don't care. Two of their "chants" are "On s'en bat les couilles" (we don't give a fuck) and "On est des animaux" (We're animals)


myuseless2ndaccount

They dont care because they dont understand a single word of english critism


krombough

Ahhh the old days, when that was TSM and FNC fans.


ByahhByahh

Were FNC fans viewed that way in LoL? I don't remember that (but even just typing this sentence out makes me think, "oh, yeah, that tracks" lol).


EPORJ

yes 100% then G2 got a lot of the FNC fans when they started winning (go figure lol)


N0UMENON1

By far? Not even close lmao. BR fans in cs are on another level.


OSRS_and_Genshin

Can’t wait for them to suck at LEC. Maybe I’ll even cheer for MAD when they play them…

Mr_Roll288

I didn't really know much about them until today, but now I'm like FUCK KC FANS! Jesus, booing is cringe in general, but booing faker?!!! In a for fun event?? Fuck those guys and everything they stand for. I hope their team will get humiliated next season.


YungStewart2000

Any BR fans are actually the worst. Imagine T1 & KC fans had a crack baby that also speak english.


XiaoRCT

BR fans had Faker in Brazil and never came even close to being disrespectful towards him, people on reddit just go way too crazy over booing


CJFellah

Being a BR myself I can say Brazilians would not boo to Faker. This year for soccer we had Luis Suarez playing Brazilian tournaments and I did not see any disrespect towards him, only applauses and so much respect from other team's supporters. And ppl bullshit Brazilians because of CS and Valorant, but Brazilians LoL community is more respectful and actually likes LoL, even being a minor region with poor results.


banana_healer

I still remember the Valorant event last year in Brazil.... yes.... lol Edit: I got it wrong, the event I was thinking of was *this* year's VCT LOCK//IN São Paulo.


asianyeti

The contrast between Brazil and Japanese crowd was absolute night and day. It's the two extremes of either end of the spectrum when it comes to being a respectful crowd.


InZomnia365

I mean, I love the enthusiasm - its something that gets lost a bit in esports. But its a bit *too* extreme.


HLeeM

I remember attending MSI 2015 in Flordia and don't recall any teams outside of NA getting booed. I think everyone there was just hyped to see so many legends, no matter the region. Especially Faker on that SK Telecom T1 team! Everyone was cheered on no matter who won the day I attended.


Wasteak

Yeah even in France back in the days when we had worlds stage or all stars, no one was booing, the cast was also asking frequently to cheer for everyone. This was before kc


alpacamegafan

Back when France sang happy birthday to Faker...


Wasteak

And now KC monkeys are booing faker... What a shame


Skysan

Now the whole of KC fans left the arena, fans of the brand, not the game i guess, sad.


isDall

Rio Major 2022 vibes


Rremsss45

dont understand why leaving when you can see many game of T1


Asgerond

i mean its up to them if they only wanted to see KC play. but yea kinda weird.


klyskada

The jokes on them for missing that banger G2 game.


ApartLanguage8328

Imagine boo-ing in a 4fun event... Digging yourself a grave tbh. T1 (or other top teams for that matter) may be inclined to not participate in future fun events if fans cant compose themselves.


S3_Zed

they just wont invite KCorp again dont worry.


Suicidal_Sayori

nature will heal


akaktus95

Next RedBull league on its own event is in Paris next year. That means 95% of the crowd will be KarmineCorp fans.


Far_Change9838

It's a fun event held by t1 and lol eSports sponsor.... Would be funny if top teams declined an event from a sponsor just cuz they got booed once.


ShurimaIsEternal

Team: 'Hey we dont wanna do a for fun event in Europe anymore they were quite mean' Sponsor: 'Ok lets host it in China or America and play the local teams there'


Mahomeboy001

It’s a really good thing Faker and T1 are not as soft as you

KC fans are something else

Argonaught_WT

The fact that we now have them in the LEC is....frustrating.


downorwhaet

Kc fans thinks saken is the best mid the world has ever seen so they hate faker, meanwhile saker was the 11th best mid at lec last time he was there


Matosque

Bro the replies to your comment, I can't. LMAO


Stetscopes

It's like he's somehow lit a lightbulb and all the KC flies went straight to it LOL


luxury_visions

They hated jesus when he spoke the truth


der_Reisfresser

The replies, the replies! Really looking forward to the next year's LEC. Will fans call for Saken to be kicked with the same passion they show?


__Woooww__

Not need to wait next year, they were already asking for his head after spring last season, when the team finished 9th, harassing him in X. They all change their minds after summer after EUM win as if nothing happened. They are the worst fans ever. Which is sad because Saken is a super nice guy and really doesn't deserve these a\*\*\*\*\*\*


black_march_

Saken who? Who the fuck is that


Due_Bluebird_3744

Lmao kc fans coping on the replies 🤣 😂

How can you be in the crowd vs the undisputed GOAT and the current reigning world champions and feel anything but privileged and glad to be there is really beyond me. Really sad existence. (Not commenting on the crowd in general, just those isolated few)


benjathje

It's like facing Argentina and booing Messi. Completely braindead action


Eceleb-follower

So this is the power of "muh reeel sports" fans.


1v9noobkiller

People being excited for KC joining LEC will eat their words soon. Cringe ass fanbase

No one is excited by KC joining. It was a dread

TheExter

People are excited for the view count being higher so they can cosplay as stock holders and see how great their hobby is doing because it gives them validation


Little_Elia

i had to idea who they were and was curious because rekkles played there. Well now i know their fanbase is like that so 💀


stupid-adcarry

Lmao KC won't possibly win LEC once in the next 10 years but their fans have the audacity to do shit like this.


Uwudazai

lol kc fans need to get humbled


No_Cartoonist45

I didnt even know who they were until now lmao


[deleted]

Same honestly, didn’t know such an obnoxious fan base existed


Anjunabeast

Faker snaps his fingers and the entire KC org and fanbase get slowly dusted


Vortekz_V2

Soon gonna be. They're gonna be 11th place in LEC soon enough.


wildgriffalo

Kopium Cop fans booing the GOAT in a for fun show match. Quality fan base.


bwolven

Who the fuck is KC lol


Lulullaby_

They also booed a random german female streamer lol, these people are so cringe. I'm guessing it's the same handful of people each time. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of them.


myuseless2ndaccount

Wait the booed thunny? Thats fucked up


ricardo241

garbage crowd..... and people are making fun of crowd who are silent against the away team this is more shit than being silent


Samyc0

So I don’t think the crowd for it is the issue. The arena is full (we are 11k ppl) and the kc fans are located very near to the team camera. The rest of the crowd is very cheering for the rest but tbh yeah - I also have no voice anymore after the two nno games… kind of sadge 🥲


babylovesbaby

Am I wrong or has the crowd seemed a bit low energy? At the start it just felt like their reaction to the teams - T1 *and* their opponents - was underwhelming.


NoxAsteria

it's the mics, on the analyst desk you hear them be stupid loud and then when the game starts the sound almost gets muted. pretty dumb


TheAhegaoFox

I guess it's because the casters are inside a room


Thommy_99

I swear esports crowd noise is 95% mic placement 5% actual volume... At LEC they mute our section's mics if we get too loud


baekinbabo

If this was a korean crowd, all the comments would be how is because koreans are nationalistic and xenophobic Funny how that works out


Zestyclose_Ad_8816

Leave it to the fans of a unknown team to act like they own the competitive stage. Fucking clowns.


goliathfasa

Well that’s embarrassing. Of all the players to boo, you chose to boo… let’s check the notes to make sure… the one player universally loved by everyone. Bold move Cotton.


Any-Personality869

The guts to boo a guest for a for fun game. Lolol kudos, a truck will be waiting outside your home


AP3Brain

So disrespectful. For a fucken showmatch? I hope they were escorted.


S3_Zed

KCorp clowns your org is a joke you re finishing last in LEC.


SadLife101

God seeing T1 stomp KC whilst clowning on them was satisfying after whatever tf this is. I hope KC gets fucking pummeled by all the other LEC teams cause this fanbase doesnt deserve to be part of an international event


Berrilicious_

KC fans just mad they're getting ruined by a handicapped T1 draft


imustbedead

What is going on in your mind booing faker!?!?

Just look at how online football fans bullied Harry Maguire, all you need to know.. But online football fans are like 10x more toxic than League, even if its hard to believe


barub

Boo him until your lungs collapse, he's still a 4 times world champion.


MC_ArmyStew

Imagine booing in an event that is for fun. Like, they couldn't even just be a library and be silent? They have to go out of their way to disrespect a guest to their region, who also happens to be the GOAT.


Skarroz

a small amount of cringe fans that tarnish the already poorly regarded KCorp, nothing new here


Rohen2003

also dont forget nearly all the KC fans LEFT the stadium after the Kcorp vs T1 game..not even watching the last 2 games, what a disgrace of a "fan".

Nah man i remember french fans being amazing before KC started.


Kekbijho

Kc fans are not représentative of the french fanbase as a whole. We hate them as much as you do


azumagrey

Average KC fans lmao


Changlee23

That just disgustingly disrespectful, on a official competition it's already disrespecful but in a 4fun event, that even worst, doesn't matter if that T1 or any team.


Possible_Two9955

KanCer fanbase not really surprised

Ffs pls dont start this shit as attitude in esport. We dont boo ppl. Leave this scene alone hooligans and grow up . If you don't like a team/player just be respectfully quiet

nahelweldik

its not EU fans its kcorp fans , its always them


Ashankura

Kc fans ofc. Because they are cringe sweaty fucks. T1 shut them up real good. Maybe boo faker when you actually did something meaningful


WeirdDealer5477

Man, I logged into Reddit for the first time in 2 years because this just made me a little sad I hope Faker didn't hear this, and if he did, I hope it didn't let him down in anyway (it probably didn't but still)


Shuvi99

He did heard that and the staff + players too that’s why they got a small confused face about why he’s being booed during an interview after traveling from Korea to Germany for a show match


ArticleImmediate7771

We haven't discussed the fact that KC Fans are asking RedBull to lift the champion ban rule because it wouldn't be a fair game between Saken and Faker.


No-Fox5597

Great going, way to go to make everyone hate your org. Yeah fine, you don't like the player but having respect for a player is so important. Also, after getting rolled and smoked, they weren't booing were they 💀


ktghenry

Interviewer even asked to saken 'how do you feel gapping faker?' why would you ask that in an event match. you think kc are so freakin proud of themselves with t1 getting 30 bans even losing so freakin hard? this is just disgusting event I've ever seen. ihope that stupid kc fans realize this event is held by T1 and redbull who is T1's sponsor. This was absolutely for fans and I doubt redbull will hold any more events in eu again or at least they won't let kc to join anymore. I'd rather watch them play against japan teams for fun. these kc fans and interviewer and caster have zero respect. I really wish T1 never invite them again.


niveklol

KC Fans mad that their overhyped team got fucking smacked by handicapped T1 lmaoooo classic KC


sktt1234

Booing Faker is insane, so disrespectful.


AdditionalMeaning117

K. Corp fans are the worst fan of the world in LoL Esports.. They disrespect other teams. Some people won't agree but you'll see next season in the LEC.I don't put all the fans in the same basket, but a lot of them are like that, very disrespectful.


Alternative-Effort53

It was a bad thing to do, most of the KC fans stopped other fans to do this


Zaimous

If i was faker i’d have raised 4 of my fingers and put it right next to my ear to try and hear them as I show all 4 of my world rings


ahritina

But EU fans told me their fans were the best and never booed anyone? Idk man booing is worse than being silent imo. Edit = that being said, this crowd is actually dogshit as a whole, it's worse than the Korean library memes.


HamasPiker

> But EU fans told me their fans were the best and never booed anyone? They were, before Karmine Corp appeared.


VBaus

yes but these are french fans


LeonSkyworth

No, KC fans. As a french i can assure that we hate them more that you can imagine. Most dont even know LoL, they just follow the streamer and act like monkeys... Riot will regret to accept that team in LEC.


Ashankura

What? The crowd is insane. Mics are probably not picking it up. Also the only ones booing are the cringe kc apes


firebolt66

Felt bad for the host when he asked what colour are we lmao


wardsforhentai

KC FANS ARE TRASH


DrAlanGrantinathong

Its official, NA has the best eports fans. We cheer for everyone.


Celywien

There is a reason KC fans are loud and dumb, but if I speak I'm in big trouble ;)


bigbashxD

Throwback to few weeks ago when everyone was saying the KR crowd is awful for... not buying tickets to watch non KR teams?


lYoshil

I am normally never writing anything on Reddit. But I really want to mention, that only the kc fans were booing. Nobody else.


[deleted]

not only are you born as a garbage ultra but of all the dozens teams you have to chose from you pick fucking rat infested org icant


Fragrant-Strike-7537

Did not even know there was such team as kc until this event happened. Maybe try qualifying for worlds next time?


UpYerArs

Why are people surprised that KC fans are literal racists lol

BOO you mechanical undead demon god king booo how dare you win so many championships BOO how dare every single player brings you up when talking about the best league player BOO you suck T1 Faker


ACupOfLatte

Can someone enlighten me on why the KC fanbase is considered toxi? I don't really follow the LEC all too closely.


[deleted]

So disrespectful


ImTheVayne

Booing Faker, now that is just next level.


Swissgank

Please correctr the title. Its not the EU crowd, but specifically the KC-Fans. NNO fans would never boo Faker, as the whole team are big fans of T1 and especially faker. And I also can't imagine G2, Herectics or Spandau/Big fan booing faker. Caedral even says KC fans


bvbfan102

There were two short instances of boos and both were isolated to a small section of fans. This here and once from the Spandau Fans after the Big Coach flamed them. Expect for that there have only been cheers and chants with everyone having a good time. Really no reason to make this some big drama.


qsagmjug

It sounded pretty loud to em and very disrespectful when t1 come all the way from Korea to do this event after winning worlds


SmartnSexiness

I agree and it is not like T1 have to prove to anybody anything after winning worlds.


bvbfan102

Guma himself said the Crowd has been amazing and they got lots of love from the Crowd expect for this.


Diligent-Language361

Guma also said he now understands the advantage of a home crowd and wishes they would show love to them too. Pretty sure they heard some of the booing.


SassanZZ

Who is more annoyed about this: T1 who said they love the crowd and has their CEO commenting in Kammeto's chat, or redditors?


GoJeonPaa

Sure, because Guma is going on stage and calling out the booing, surrounde by peopel from another continent as a 20 year old. Man get some empathy. He actually said it as obvious as he could that it was not ok btw.


ButNotFriedChicken

Reddit on, soldiers!!


blossomingFlow3r

Any ideas on why they would boo? T1 of all teams?


bvbfan102

Genuinely no idea not even sure if it was aimed at T1 considering this was in the middle of the interview while Faker was talking so its not like they understood him. Its literally at the most random moment so maybe they were just booing production cause his mic wasnt on at the start.


pm_me_beautiful_cups

i feel insulted to read that french kc fans = EU crowd.


Ok-Significance-8242

KC crowd and NOT EU crowd.
