<![CDATA[I got into LPL through anime and now I understand sports completely differently]]>Genuinely never thought esports would become my main sport to watch. I started watching LPL because a content creator I followed from anime YouTube made a video about Faker and something clicked. The narrative structure — team chemistry built over years, young players arriving and disrupting hierarchies, veterans fighting for one last championship run — is exactly the same as the best sports anime. What I didn't expect is that watching LPL taught me to watch sports analytically. The commentators explain macro strategy in real time. Now when I watch basketball or F1 I see the game within the game in a way I never did before esports.

Their win rate with Faker at 100% vs 80% health is dramatically different.
