Saint and Inspired like each other, we promise 😬

LYON has just secured its place in the Worlds quarterfinals, and Inspired takes off his headset and rubs his hair. Saint walks over with something other than a handshake: a playfully raised middle finger. Inspired raises his hand back before the players gather for hugs.

That exchange explains the official LCS channel's teasing reassurance in the title, "Saint and Inspired like each other, we promise 😬". The Short drew roughly 300,000 views in its first day, more than thirty times the channel's usual start for the format.

The clip begins with the reason for the celebration. LYON pushes through LOS's base, finishes off the remaining defenses and clinches the deciding game against the Brazilian team. Then the broadcast switches from the match to the players, catching Saint and Inspired's greeting as the stage celebration begins.

Viewers are picking over that contrast between competitive tension and teammate teasing. Some ask LYON to release the team's voice communications; others imagine what the post-match replay review might sound like. The comment section was more than twenty times busier than on a usual first day.

The celebration has also spread across other LCS uploads. A Short about Dhokla's emotions ahead of the quarterfinals and post-victory words from Isles both drew unusually strong starts, giving LYON's players room beyond the match highlights.
