A YouTube channel tests food from around the world and then shares its conclusions. During this process, the taste tester ends up in the rooms where Faker began his career as a professional in League of Legends – and doesn’t even recognize him.
What kind of expert is this? The host of the YouTube channel is Will Sonbuchner, better known by his nickname Sonny Side. He is an American food vlogger who travels the world, trying unique dishes to document the local food culture.
In a new video, he tests the food served in PC Bangs (which translates to computer room) in Seoul for 24 hours. These are internet cafes with high-end PCs where players can game. Many young adults in Korea spend their time in such places, dreaming of becoming legendary professional players like Faker.
The YouTuber tests food from both a cheap and a more expensive PC Bang. The expert notices that the pricier gaming venue belongs to a successful Korean e-sports team – but he doesn’t realize exactly where he is.
Food Expert Has No Idea About e-Sports, But Knows About Food
What is the food expert missing? After Sonny tests the cheap internet cafe, he heads to the PC Bang operated by the e-sports team T1. This is the most successful team in League of Legends from Korea, which also includes Faker.
The expert knows more about food than about the team whose internet cafe he visits. Right from the name, it’s clear he doesn’t recognize the “T1” at first and instead only reads “Base Camp”.
He reports that this PC Bang belongs to a “professional e-sports team” and also discovers cardboard cutouts of the team. He describes the members as young, attractive, and agile – but then jokes that they all look the same.
Overall, the tone of the video is more about poking fun at the gaming stereotypes:
- The food lasts longer than the relationships of gamers.
- The fans with air filters are crucial to keep gamers’ farts under control.
- He thought before the test that sad people would play sad video games and eat sad food. After the test, only two things were true: the food was excellent.
How does he rate the food? The food was consistently decent in both PC Bangs. He also received help from Twitch streamer Jimmy Kim aka deadlyjimmy, who is well acquainted with League of Legends thanks to his streams.
Regardless of the price, you can get decent food in both PC Bangs. So if you find yourself in Seoul and trust Sonny’s judgment, you can feel confident dining in a PC Bang.
However, little is said about the successful Faker in the video. He is a legendary LoL player who has set numerous records. The professional player revealed the year in which he actually played best – and it is not a year in which he won a title: LoL: World Champion Faker Explains Which Year He Played Best – It Was Not the Year He Won the Title
