This is Daniel Park. He flew a thousand kilometers to Armesan in the middle of Downtown Toronto. Why? Because three months ago, I decided to gather the most niche Internet community the world has ever seen. People named Daniel Rank. And after some pondering, I decided to find the best one through a League of Life experiment. After a week of intense battles from Daniel Park's all around the world, we're a winner. So I bought his plane ticket and flew him to No. And the rest is history. Discard. Maybe he got, like, a bicep check? Yeah. One go. One go. One go. Go. I didn't come here to lose. This best of three is the best of three for a reason. Yeah. I got here. I got here. Yeah. Both of the biceps and changes. Two, one, go. Yeah. Oh. That was a great match. That was a great match. Play League of Legends. Play League of Legends. Download League of Legends now. Shut up Riot Games for, making all this happen. We flew out to draw a game. Shut up Riot. Like I feel like I feel like one day we'll take over the world and, like, cut out an explanation. I think I have to do it. Yeah, I worst. But maybe it was never about which Janno Park won. Maybe it was about all the Daniel Parks we met along the way. This might be the end of the series, but we're not done. Maybe we take over the world next. I'll catch the next one. Tier out.
