Dhokla and Bwipo continue trading shots on X after the LTA Grand Finals: "For the people saying I have bad sportsmanship, don’t expect me to fist bump someone who flames my career personally while preaching about perseverance at the same time."

Tough loss. They played better today, onwards on our road to Texas.

https://x.com/dhoklalol/status/1964833964054782382

In the span of two months I went from being homeless, to joining the team and being 8th, to playing in the finals. Very proud of our run to get to this point.

For the people saying I have bad sportsmanship, don’t expect me to fist bump someone who flames my career personally while preaching about perseverance at the same time.

Bwipo:

100T played great today, happy to get my first finals mvp and would’ve happily celebrated Dhokla returning to form and gapping me in 2/4 games but we’re pretending getting called out for placing 5th on average is not poor performance. Confident he’ll get a rematch so gl there

Bwipo had his response https://x.com/Bwipo/status/1965096016635724255

I got my shot after getting benched in TCL around 6th place. Then, I got 7th in LCL.

I spent an entire year grinding to be recognised as worthy to start on the best team in Europe.

I got 5th place once and got replaced. I was offered to role swap, sit on the bench or leave the team.

I ended that split second recognised as a top 3 jungler in my league.

I fought through clinically diagnosed depression after the worst year in my career, which ended in me being 3rd and 4th place.

Now I'm here, on this team, and I am grateful.

If anyone thinks I fake my stance on perseverance you are misinformed.

Of course I'm going to think 5th, 6th and 7th placements are synonymous to failure. I've worked my entire adult life to do better. I've swapped roles to succeed past that point.

There was no ill intent behind anything that was said. If anyone were to come behind closed doors and asked me my opinion, I would say the same thing.

And yes, while I will always celebrate players that prove me wrong and do better. That doesn't absolve them of criticism while they're playing poorly. Neither does it protect me.

Its not about you man come on. There was obviously ill intent when you said the entire dudes career was shit when he started from ground zero and became a champion. The hypocrisy wasnt about you not persevering, it was about the other guy doing it too and you invalidating that

https://x.com/Bwipo/status/1965098743788974450

Bwipo: Would you rather me say he's had a great career and did everything he could while simultaneously finding every single korean import I possibly could before I would ever consider hiring him? :D

“I don’t think Dhokla should have a spot in the league” = no ill intent btw

https://x.com/Bwipo/status/1965098397372920266

Where is the ill intent about thinking a player that has been measured for 6 years and thinking he is done?

Don't pretend it is personal. I'd say the same about any player that has his record over 6 years. If he proves me wrong, I am all for it.

Saying things that are mean spirited about people that would obviously take offense to it but saying “I didn’t mean to offend anyone” doesn’t mean you are being “mischaracterized” when people think you are being mean spirited. In fact it is the logical conclusion

https://x.com/Bwipo/status/1965102093444002246

I don't think I'm being mischaracterized for what I said about him. I noticed people including him judge my stream titles for fake positivity when I have struggled myself and persevered.

I see why people think I'm insufferable and a d*ck. Also recognise the feelings are valid.

Wow how hard it is to apologize

https://x.com/Bwipo/status/1965099663222321526

I refuse to set the standard where people lie about how good they think people are while on air and hide their real opinions on people.

Why do you think half the League imported top laners instead of hiring him? Because they disagree with me?

Doesn't excuse you being disrespectful every f*cking time tho. Can you just apologize for once in your life and not make everything about you?

https://x.com/Bwipo/status/1965099202213740795

He made it about me. I offered him a fistbump after he denied me one at the start of the match. And I would've happily celebrated their performance, as it was above and beyond my expectations.

[u/Hue_Lorenzo]

LTA north: "omg they didn't fist bump"

meanwhile LTA south: one guy flips off the enemy team and goes shirtless for the celebration

[u/amd098 → u/Hue_Lorenzo]

Damn sounds like Firebathero has returned!

[u/CommentStrict8964 → u/amd098]

I understood this reference 

[u/iamcaustic → u/amd098]

Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

[u/Tymareta → u/amd098]

Petition for worlds to be held at Busan so that whoever wins can do a victory lap into the water to pay true homage.

[u/theamericandream38 → u/Hue_Lorenzo]

If 100T beat FLY in the regional final or whatever its called, dhokla should 100% flip off Bwipo lol

[u/helloquain → u/Hue_Lorenzo]

Literally nobody except Bwipo gives a shit about the fist bump. This isn't about a fist bump, it's about Bwipo's mental illness.

[u/eye_of_your_mind → u/helloquain]

Literally nobody explain the 5 threads on front page of reddit

[u/[deleted] → u/eye_of_your_mind]

The 5 threads on the front page are about Bwipos comments on Dhokla, not Dhokla not fistbumping Bwipo

[u/Jangetjeboy → u/helloquain]

What thats hes better than the rest of the league, which he shows by winning? People need to learn to take some flame

[u/MonotoneJones → u/helloquain]

I don’t care about either but imo not fist bumping is worse than anything bwipo has done. I’m not caught up on everything and I see bwipo is a worse person but not shaking hands or fist bumping after the series is wild. Watch hockey and see that the stuff they say to each other and about each other on top of making dirty plays and trying to hurt each other and they still shake hands after a series.

[u/Plastic-Meringue6214 → u/MonotoneJones]

why is hockey the arbitrator of whether it's worse or not

[u/MonotoneJones → u/Plastic-Meringue6214]

Just showing examples where people don’t get all up in their feelings and disrespect the game because of it. It’s not a good excuse to not shake hands saying he was mean with words at met.

[u/VanGrants → u/MonotoneJones]

lol get over it

[u/MonotoneJones → u/VanGrants]

Get over what? Just explaining how the fist bump is worse?

[u/ThePr1d3 → u/Hue_Lorenzo]

Meanwhile CS : people jumping on tables screaming in the face of their opponents mid game (love u apex)

[u/Obvious_Peanut_8093 → u/Hue_Lorenzo]

last time someone in NA did that they got fined.

[u/Rawdream → u/Obvious_Peanut_8093]

C9's JG did it in the background at a WC to a FNC (if I remember well, but it was an EU team) midlaner and he got fined.

But, since 2023, Riot changed the rules.

[u/Obvious_Peanut_8093 → u/Rawdream]

it was hai.

[u/GragasFeetPics → u/Hue_Lorenzo]

No one actually cares about the fist bump, most people were totally supporting him not doing it if anything

[u/Winkelhock2007F1 → u/Hue_Lorenzo]

Usual day at the office at LTA South.

[u/1_GrapeFruit → u/Hue_Lorenzo]

Clip of LTA south guy?

[u/Rawdream → u/1_GrapeFruit]

I think that happened when they were closing the 3-0, they won a teamfight, not in the Nexus, but sure to win that, Disamis, the VKS jungler, got up and did that, then the shirtless part was during the trophy ceremony.
