Going to Worlds finally made me understand LoL

As the five-man Weibo Gaming squad chased after a lone T1 player, the crowd inside Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome held their breath. 

His health slowly whittled away as he retreated to the top lane. It looked like Weibo could gain some much-needed momentum. Then, like a fist closing around a stress ball, the other four T1 players collapsed on Weibo and caught them in a kill box, wiping them all out in a flurry of chaotic attacks. The crowd erupted into raucous cheers as their Korean home team all but sealed their victory over their Chinese rivals. Sure enough, T1 swept the floor with Weibo at the 2023 League of Legends Worlds finals, and after seeing it live, in person, I finally understood the appeal of the esport.
