WHB as random esports-related moments

So. I have a new obsession right now (League of Legends and Valorant esports), which naturally means I'm brainrotting a lot about them. I've been watching a bit too much of the players, the games, and the streams, and I have an entire list of players and teams I support (very extensive list but Chovy and Oner are pretty much at the top). And ignoring some of the worse things going on in particular (holy fucking shit T1 LoL management + coaches PLEASE get your shit together) pro play is actually Really Cool! That first Gen G vs T1 match this LCK season was so hype it's insane tbh. Same with T1 vs G2 on Masters Bangkok (Valo).

One thing that I've definitely noticed is that a lot of the players are just...really funny and cool people! A lot of them have very clippable moments (looking at you Oner, Doran, ShowMaker, stax, t3xture, and more), plus their team's YouTube accounts and their own personal accounts (if they have one) often do a good job of compiling their moments. So I might be linking some of their vids too ahaha-

Which means...more tier lists, with explanations to boot. Based on vibes too, since it's been a while since I actually caught up on the main story of WHB. Apart from esports, Touhou is a VERY dangerous rabbit hole to enter yo.

Without further ado...

WHB characters' reactions to getting their pentakill stolen

A bit of context: since League of Legends is a 5v5 team game, one of the most impressive achievements one can get is a pentakill (often shortened to penta) - where someone gets the killing blow on every single member of the enemy team. A penta is 'stolen' when a teammate accidentally lands the killing blow on one member of the enemy team while their teammate is close to a penta (often when they're on their fourth kill).

Tier 1: self-explanatory, and probably the least toxic reaction out of everything else

Tier 2: self-explanatory, I'll let you imagine how bad their plotting gets

Tier 3: the LoL GOAT himself, midlaner Lee "Faker" Sanghyeok of T1 did this during their 2022 LCK Spring season match against KDF, when T1's jungler Mun "Oner" Hyeonjun stole his penta. No damage is done, sure, but still...

Tier 4: self-explanatory, also another non-toxic reaction

Tier 5: Gen G's ADC/botlaner Park "Ruler" Jaehyeok is INFAMOUS for having his teammates actively aim to steal his pentas and cursing his teammates out when his penta is inevitably stolen. Pretty much a meme now as shown in 2025 LCK Cup Quiz Ep 1, where several players (namely Gen G's toplaner Kim "Kiin" Giin and support Joo "Duro" Minkyu, HLE's ADC/botlaner Park "Viper" Dohyeon, Nongshim's support Son "Lehends" Siwoo, and KT's midlaner Gwak "Bdd" Boseong) had something to say during the question about LCK pentas about his tendency to demand pentas...and their dedication to stealing his pentas.

Tier 6: midlaner Son "ucal" Woohyeon of DRX, during the 2025 LCK Cup match against DNF, pretty much fell off his chair after he got his penta stolen and actually fired off a teleport while ON THE FLOOR before getting back up to his chair, all while apologizing.

Tiers 7 and 8: self-explanatory

2. WHB as moments in official LoL and Valo contents

So. I will preface this by saying that the LCK (Korean League circuit) and VCT Pacific (Asia-Pacific Valorant circuit) have some of the best official content within their reapective esports scenes. Part of this is due to their players being Absolutely Fucking Unhinged, as we will see right here...

Tier 1: the LCK season opening for 2025 is a for-fun tournament (not really because the pride of each role is on the line /j) involving all 10 LCK teams, with teams for the tournament being formed based on the individual players' roles. There are five roles in League, which are Top, Jungle, Mid, ADC/Bot, and Support. Team Mid's leader, Faker, drafted Gen G's midlaner Jeong "Chovy" Jihoon (who's a pretty flexible player known to be good at multiple roles - notably Top), with the translation for his reasoning sounding so incredibly wrong out of context (Faker means to say Chovy was a good toplaner and listens to his shotcalls when they played together on 2024's season opening, which was a similar format to 2025's season opening). Like they HAD to know, right...

Tier 2: the ZERO/point challenge (VCT Pacific) is a just-for-fun faceoff between two teams where they essentially play with some silly challenges in place, randomly selected using a roulette wheel and only revealed to the other team at the end of the match. T1's Lee "carpe" Jaehyeok's aim with Chamber's skill wasn't the best, and as a result he ended up getting heckled by pretty much everybody (both T1 and Gen G), up until the end of the challenge, which T1 lost.

Tier 3: Know Your Enemy (VCT Pacific) is a mini-series where players that have something in common are put in a room together to chat and talk. Very chill and wholesome vibes overall. In the Young Guns episode, which involves some of the youngest players in VCT Pacific (and the youngest in their respective teams), DFM's Ibuki "Meiy" Seki reveals that he's a fanboy of DRX's Cho "Flashback" Minhyeok. Meiy requested that Flashback tell him if he ever changes his PC settings, and Flashback promised to tell Meiy about the complete details of his settings after the shoot. And, well, they're all just very sweet and wholesome, with Meiy being just so happy that they had the opportunity to talk like friends.

Tier 4: Talk-Back Time (LCK) is a mini-series released in 2025 where players new to each team's roster are interviewed with two of their teammates - only possible because for the first time in three years, every single LCK team had a roster change (prior to 2025, T1 had the ZOFGK lineup from 2022 up until 2024). And with Gen G being Gen G, Ruler being a yapper and menace combo, plus Kiin being more or less a tsundere? Chaos, as Ruler and Kiin ended up arguing about the etiquette of eating out with teammates (it makes sense in context) while Chovy closes his eyes as he tries to ignore the argument between Kim "Ruler is Gen G's dog" Giin and Park "Kiin straight-up curses at me now" Jaehyeok. The editors even edited in little Zs on top of Chovy's head!

Tier 5: Arena: Duo of Destiny (LCK) is a mini-series filmed near the end of 2025's LCK Cup (as in, only the finals between Gen G and HLE left), where eight former pro League players (whose identities were initially kept secret) were randomly paired with representatives of the eight eliminated teams from the 2025 LCK Cup to play the updated Arena mode. After the first match, the former pro players were revealed to the current pro players, with a possibility of having any existing pairs changed for match 2 by correctly guessing who the former pro was. Former pro player and current analyst Shin "Helios" Dongjin got last place while paired with T1's Oner during the first match, so he made a declaration of war against Oner for match 2 while paired with DNF's jungler Hong "Pyosik" Changhyeon.

Tier 6: the 2024 VCT Pacific Stage 1 teaser essentially had them all in an elevator leading up to the VCT Pacific floor with a brief stop at the Valorant Masters Madrid floor (IT MAKES SENSE IN CONTEXT I SWEAR), and Kim "stax" Gutaek (current T1 player who was playing for DRX at the time) yelling at commentator Clinton "Paperthin" Bader about how he "always goes" during that brief stop at Masters Madrid (DRX always qualifies for Masters). Unfortunately, stax (like at least 50% of VCT Pacific players) has a pretty severe case of ijbol-itis, so there were several outtakes of his ijbol-itis acting up, causing a chain reaction of ijbol-itis moments for EVERYONE (including, but not limited to, TS's Jessie "JessieVash" Cristy, now-former DFM player An "Medusa" Mincheol, and now-former TLN player Peter "Governor" No).

3. WHB as pro LoL and Valo player's rage and/or toxic moments

Listen. They're gamers, of course they're going to have toxic moments. Though do note that some players might be more toxic than others and VCT Pacific is generally much more toxic compared to the LCK. It's all in good fun though, because otherwise these clips wouldn't be so widespread.

Tier 1: pretty high tier rage/toxicity, and also one of the quintessential 2HJ moments (LoL). T1's Oner was in a solo queue match with HLE's support Yoo "Delight" Hwanjoong in the opponent's team. Several missed attacks later (which cost him the game), Oner ended up raging so hard he left his chair to yell while punching and kicking the wall behind him. Unfortunately, his toplaner teammate Choi "Doran" Hyeonjoon was in the streaming room right beside Oner's, and his stream picked up Oner's raging. Doran ended up closing the door to his streaming room because of that.

Tier 2: less toxic and rage, but with an added touch of despair (LoL). The Gen G LoL roster in general had difficulty just getting into a solo queue ranked match in the 2023 off-season (even HLE's current jungler Han "Peanut" Wangho, who was playing for Gen G at the time, mentioned his queue had a 14-minute estimated wait time), so when Chovy finally got a match after a 28-minute wait, he was SO happy despite playing a role he wasn't particularly fond of (ADC/bot). Unfortunately for him, Doran (who was playing for Gen G at the time) was in the same team as Chovy and was forced to play support while he wasn't feeling it, so he dodged the game - much to Chovy's despair. His screaming only came later, after he confronted Doran on-stream for his match dodging. Also, why catdespair? Chovy's often represented with a yellow cat emoji, and just take a look at the thumbnail to this stream moment + his reaction to Doran's match dodging.

Tier 3: more frustration than anything, honestly (Valo). Gen G's Kim "t3xture" Nara invited his teammates to play 5-stack League of Legends in queue. Unfortunately, these Valorant pros forgot that they were playing League, which led to them entering the fight for the dragon objective essentially one at a time. Byeon "Munchkin" Sangbeom, the In-Game Leader/IGL of Gen G's Valorant team and jungler in this particular League match, ended up yelling out his frustrations at his teammates. They somehow won, which is honestly a wonder considering the dragon was killed by the enemy team. As a fun fact, the roles were as follows - Kim "Karon" Wontae as toplaner, Munchkin as jungler, Kim "Meteor" Tae-oh (playing for Gen G at the time, now playing for T1) as midlaner, t3xture as ADC/botlaner, and Kim "Lakia" Jongmin as support.

Tier 4: a show of supremacy at the end of the day, perhaps a bit toxic though (VCT). Regardless, it's an iconic quote from T1's Yu "BuZz" Byeongcheol during Masters Bangkok (Valo), who yelled it out while playing against DRX in the loser's bracket. BuZz had been playing with DRX until the end of the 2024 season, where for some reason his contract wasn't renewed for 2025. T1 picked him up and reunited him with his longtime teammate stax, former DRX player whom T1 signed halfway into the 2024 season. DRX prior to this was often known as the best team in Korea and one of the best teams in VCT Pacific, so...

Tier 5: it's toxic, yes, but oddly...wholesome, somehow, in a sense (VCT)? We welcome PRX, a SEA-based esports organization, and two of their younger members in their Valorant team - Wang "Jinggg" Jing Jie from Singapore and Jason "f0rsakeN" Susanto from Indonesia. During PRX's match against DRX in 2024's VCT Pacific Stage 1, f0rsakeN stole Jinggg's Ace (think of an Ace like a penta in League terms), leading to Jinggg complaining to f0rsakeN in Indonesian using those exact words. A rough translation of what Jinggg said is "Bro, my Ace! Fuck you! Ei, you bastard, my Ace!" ('bangsat lu' can be roughly translated as both 'fuck you' and 'you bastard'). Which is doubly hilarious when you realize that it's likely f0rsakeN HIMSELF who taught Jinggg all those curse words (and maybe Aaron "mindfreak" Leonhart as well since he's also Indonesian, but f0rsakeN is more toxic).

Tier 6: toxicity, followed by self-awareness (Valo). During a week where most of T1's players (in both LoL and Valo) were streaming at T1 HQ, stax was streaming Valorant ranked as a duo with his coach CheongGak, with their first game as a duo being an abject loss. He got so pissed at his other teammates that he ended up yelling incredibly loudly in response to a teammate's missed shots, before realizing just where he was - at T1 HQ, with his streaming room located right beside the much calmer and more soft-spoken Lee "Gumayusi" Minhyung's, ADC/Bot of T1's LoL team. Which is an issue because remember, Oner's raging and wall-punching shenanigans could be heard over in Doran's stream. So stax immediately started apologizing on-stream...
