“I’m really bad boy,” Huni says. “Probably I’m gonna break your heart.” While we get to see Kim “Reignover” Eu-jin nuzzling his new pair of undies, luckily we don’t see the him actually wearing them.
Note that while Huni, Reignover, and Wildturtle were made into caricatures for the video, Pobelter and Adrian played themselves—Pobelter, wearing his Immortals jersey railing off his League of Legends stats, and Adrian Ma, popping not one, but two collars.
Sadly, the partnership doesn’t include producing esports panties. Because the world needs esports panties.
