I’ve always played a lot with Ahri. She was one of my favorite champions and I made a play with her at Worlds that became really famous all over the world. Even today, if you ask anyone in Brazil about my play or that game, everybody will remember. KBM vs ALL 2014 World Championship - Group Stage Singapore I chose Ahri not only because she was one of my best champions at the time, but also to take it away from Froggen. She was a champion he used a lot and was very comfortable on and I knew I co
uld make a difference in the game. In Singapore, there were a lot of people supporting us. Any play we made, everybody would start screaming, “KABUM, KABUM, KABUM” and that was really nice. And there were Brazilians there, with a Brazilian flag. Everyone was supporting us and wanting us to take a game off the big teams. Before the Play, we had a fight in mid. If I am not wrong their support died and I hadn’t used my ultimate. I don’t think Alliance paid too much attention. I ended up going to th
eir jungle with Danagorn. We were clearing the wards and everything I think I told Danagorn to place a ward inside their base because I had my ultimate and he knew that. We realized after my play and a fight in mid where we took the inhibitor that we could win. From then on, everything went well for us and we saw that we could beat them. When we won, I couldn’t believe it because the day before, they had a perfect game against Korea. The fans were very welcoming, of course. We took a game off t
he European champions during Brazil’s first trip to Worlds. It meant a lot to us. Everybody that came to take pictures with me would talk about the Ahri play and the game against Alliance. After all of this, having played so much with her, and the play, I decided to get it tattooed. For my career, it was great. A historical moment. Not only the play, but the win against Alliance. Even today, if you ask anyone in Brazil about my play or that game, everybody will remember so it had a great impact
on my career, and also motivated me to play more because I know what it feels like to be at Worlds, to be at the top, and I want that again.

@accretiaempire2

I can't wait for Worlds Classics: NA 0-10

@ThatGuyWithUnderwear

All you people saying that "This isn't impressive" were definitely not watching this game live or knew how chaotic this group was during the tournament. This game happened after Alliance (the EU super team who were the first team to win a split in EU that wasn't Fnatic) defeated Najin White Shield without dying or losing a single tower. Alliance had so much momentum coming into the game and lost to the wildcard team that hadn't even won a game yet. That play basically put the nail on the coffin for Alliance and secured Kabum a win. Also, with the loss, this gave C9 and Alliance the same amount of wins in the group and if C9 beat Najin White Shield (no one had faith in C9 to win) then C9 would be the second team to get out of the Group behind Najin. C9 then proceeded to beat Najin in the final teamfight of the game thanks to an INSANE rumble ultimate (go watch that teamfight) and C9 ended up taking 2nd place in the group over Alliance, who were the favorites to get out of the group along with Najin.

Tatoo is super awesome. I always knew League Of Legends champions could make great tatoos.

"THIS ISSO FOR KABUM" Amazing momentos !!

@DeltaRaven97

And thus, the rise of the Wildcard Teams began

@SpookyFeety

I remember this moment, I was there live. I didn't know much about League at that time but I went just to accompany my sister. I didn't know many of the teams or the players besides C9 and FNC. During this match I randomly chose to support KABUM over ALL. When this play happened I was in awe and this play inspired me to play Ahri and League in general.

@GluezCraft
