리그 오브 레전드 2023 월드 챔피언십 관련 밈/유행어

These memes have been actively used from October to November 2023, during the League of Legends World Championship, and continue to be popular even after T1's victory. Many memes were generated and spread, particularly fueled by T1's dramatic championship narrative.

The 2023 League of Legends World Championship, held in Korea and culminating in a victory for the LCK team T1, created numerous talking points and iconic moments. During this process, game content, player statements, and specific situations became popular phrases or were reborn as memes among fans. Key memes include:

• XXX 비상 XXX 따운 XXX 나와 (XXX Emergency XXX Down XXX Appear): Used to signal an emergency or call for specific action when a particular champion or player performs exceptionally, faces a crisis, or a specific situation arises. '비상 (bisang)' signifies a crisis or emergency, '따운 (dda-un)' means being taken down or defeated, and '나와 (nawa)' implies appearing or making a play. While its precise origin is unclear, it's a common pattern for expressing urgent in-game situations.
• 대(大)드립 (Dae-Deurip / 'Great' Joke): A term where '대(大)' (meaning 'great' or 'big') is prefixed to praise or, at times, sarcastically mock a specific team or player. It can be used positively, such as '대상혁 (Dae-Sang-hyeok)' for Faker, or ironically, like '대황젠 (Dae-Hwang-Jen)'. This expression didn't originate as a distinct meme but rather evolved organically within internet culture.
• 럼자오자레 (Rumble-Jarvan-Orianna-Xayah-Renata): This meme originated from the 2023 Worlds Quarterfinals match between Gen.G (GEN) and Bilibili Gaming (BLG). Gen.G repeatedly allowed their opponent to pick a powerful champion combination (Rumble, Jarvan, Orianna, Xayah, Renata) and subsequently lost. It's used to criticize 'drafting mistakes' or 'incompetent drafting' when a team consistently gives advantageous champions to the opposing side.
• 새삼 XXX가 대단하다고 느껴지네 (기습숭배 드립) (It makes me realize how amazing XXX is, all of a sudden - 'Sudden Worship' meme): This meme originated from a sarcastic jab at LeBron James's fandom within the NBA community and was adopted by the League of Legends community to mock Faker and his fanbase. It was used in phrases like 'Seeing this, it suddenly makes me realize how amazing Faker is, having played professionally from the early days of LoL until now...' to satirize the fandom's emphasis on Faker's consistency. However, after T1 won the 2023 World Championship and Faker delivered an outstanding performance, the sarcastic undertone of this meme diminished. It is now sometimes re-evaluated and used to genuinely praise Faker, taking the phrase literally. '기습숭배 (giseup-sungbae)' (sudden worship) was a variation used to tease T1's fandom for deifying Faker when the team was underperforming. During Gen.G's Quarterfinals exit, it expanded to terms like '상습 비난 (sangseup-binan)' (habitual criticism), '상습 박해 (sangseup-bakhae)' (habitual persecution), and '상습 폭행 (sangseup-pokhaeng)' (habitual assault).
• T1은 LPL에게 지지 않습니다 (T1 does not lose to LPL): This meme stems from T1's impressive record of never losing a best-of-five (Bo5) series against an LPL (China's League of Legends Pro League) team. It's used to highlight T1's dominance over LPL teams or to express confidence in T1's victory when facing an LPL opponent. The phrase originated from a statement made by T1's AD Carry, Gumayusi.
• 심판좌 (Referee-nim / The Honorable Referee): This meme refers to Riot referee Shim Seong-bo, who conducted the 2023 Worlds Swiss Stage draw. His calm demeanor and unwavering expression during the draw, even when faced with a challenging draw that resulted in five internal matchups, left a deep impression on fans, earning him the nickname '심판좌 (Shim-pan-jwa)', meaning 'The Honorable Referee'.
• 선행 챌린지 (Good Deed Challenge): A campaign where T1 fans participated in and certified good deeds, such as donations and blood drives, to wish for the players' victory. The positive influence of the players inspired fans to perform good actions, setting a commendable example for esports fandom culture.

Primarily used by League of Legends players and the broader esports fandom. It is especially prevalent and actively reproduced among fans of the LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea) and team T1.

Usage Precautions: The '대(大)드립 (Dae-Deurip)' and '88848' memes can be used negatively to mock specific teams or players, potentially causing offense to their fans. The '럼자오자레 (Rumble-Jarvan-Orianna-Xayah-Renata)' meme is also used in the context of criticizing a specific team's drafting mistakes, so it should be used with careful consideration of the situation and context. The '새삼 XXX가 대단하다고 느껴지네 (It makes me realize how amazing XXX is, all of a sudden)' meme originally began with a mocking connotation, but is now also used for genuine praise, making it crucial to understand the specific context.
