When passion and sport meet, emotions overflow. During the League of Legends Worlds 2023 semi-finals, such a moment was captured, played by South Korean caster Se-jun "Jun". The victory of T1, the iconic team led by Faker, against JD Gaming (JDG), caused a wave of emotions, especially for Jun, who could not contain his tears.

Caster Jun, followed and respected throughout South Korea, was overcome with emotion. His collapse, captured on camera, symbolized the joy and relief of an entire nation. Especially since Dplus KIA, KT Rolster, and Gen.G, the other representatives of the LCK, had already been eliminated earlier in the tournament.

The confrontation with JDG was no small matter. JDG, winner of the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), was considered by many to be the favorite for the world title. But under the expert leadership of Faker, T1 defied the odds, once again proving their undeniable excellence on the international stage.
