In the match between T1 and Afreeca Freecs during the LCK Spring 2020 group stage, AF made a stunning comeback to defeat Faker and his team with a score of 2-1, and what stood out the most was the dominance of Mystic and his teammates in games 2 and 3.
Regarding Mystic, he was the most crucial player in this victory, shining brightly in game 2 to help AF equalize the score, and performing exceptionally well in game 3 to completely overwhelm T1.
Although always known as one of the top marksmen in League of Legends in Asia, Mystic’s explosive performance against a strong team like T1 was something few could have anticipated. And immediately, his fans figured out the reason why.
Just hours before the match took place, Mystic’s wife brought him the happiest news. The couple has officially welcomed their second child. The ultrasound photo shared by his wife on Weibo immediately received thousands of well-wishes from Chinese fans.
Since marrying in 2018, Mystic has risen to the top of the world rankings for the most titles of “dad of two”, achieving the feat of having two children in three years. Meanwhile, his opponents in the recent match, the T1 players, saw their oldest member, the captain, and mid-laner still without a romantic partner. Just looking at that disparity shows the overwhelming difference in circumstances.
Speaking of Mystic, we can’t help but think of the “WIFE Buff” – a type of advantage that can be considered unmatched in League of Legends. Ambition won the World Championship once he got married, Doinb, a family man, easily shattered the G2 circus, kkOma missed his chance to marry before the World Championship, leading to SKT’s elimination, and now it’s Mystic’s turn. Just hours before the grand battle against T1, he received the news from his wife that he had been promoted from “dad of one” to “dad of two”. How could Faker and his teammates possibly cope with that…
