[2023] Faker turning around T1 to the finals reminded me of Hai doing the same thing for C9

Young'uns might not remember, but back in 2015 C9 brought in Jensen (aka Incarnati0n) to play mid, and they sucked. I think they were all the way down in eighth. I remember watching the games and thinking, man this team has no life in them. Then they brought Hai back, role-swapped to jungle, and suddenly the team remembered how to play. They ran the gauntlet and made it all the way to worlds with two reverse sweeps and a 3-1 over liquid.

Both Faker and Hai got tons of "lol shotcaller mind controlling 4 people" jokes made, but it really is astounding the effect 1 player can have on a team, without ever showing up on the stat sheet.
