Esports as Persona 4 Arcanas(2/3)
10.The Wheel of Fortune[Luck, Destiny, Chance]
Coinflip supports, need I say more? Both Hylissang and Execute bring both victory and defeat to their teams based on their play and luck of the day.
11.The Strength[Patience, Compassion, Courage]
Finn and Kingen, perhaps fittingly, are good friends! They are patient with the process, compassionate to others and have the courage to put themselves in the spotlight when things aren’t going well or to confront others.
12.The Hanged Man[Sacrifice, Release, Resurgence]
Upset has sacrificed a lot to get a chance at worlds. Friendships with teammates, countless hours of work, multiple Bo5s that ended in ‘not enough’ and yet, he did make it in the end. In the end, he achieved all he set out to, both in love and in his career.
Deft likewise has sacrificed a lot to win his title. Ten years of lows, highs and just barely not enoughs to the moment he finally held that worlds trophy.
13.Death[Endings, Transitions, Opportunity]
Caedrel ended his pro career in disappointment but transitioned effectively into being a caster and then a full time co-streamer and content creator. He’s now one of if not the largest creators in the space, turning his past into gold.
Roach also likewise ended his career prematurely but became a good coach through both hard work and skill. This eventually lead to him winning worlds as a coach and becoming an integral part of T1’s core staff.
14.Temperance[Balance, Purpose, Healing]
Trymbi is the pro with perhaps the most balanced life (between dance classes, shotcalling and mechanics). Yet he also needs to heal his own mind from the strain, and find where he needs to go next.
Nuguri was discouraged after worlds and after a truly horrid experience in the LPL where his own teammates threatened his family, came back to Korea shaken and defeated. It took a while for him to heal and come back into the esports space and now, he is trying to find new purpose through his podcasts.
15.The Devil[Rebellion, Freedom, Reclamation]
Miky is rebelling from playing Nautilus \jk. In seriousness though, Miky has been through a lot. He clashed with teammates, got put in contract jail, has had significant health problems, done a lot of growing and found his way at the top with Europe’s crown firmly on his head.
Bull was never supposed to be an LCK star. Bottom 3 ADC in the Tier 2 scene on a roster that had low expectations and he smashed those expectations in spectacular fashion. Literally, from the hell of LCKCL into the heaven of the west side of the LCK bracket.
16.The Tower[Upheval, Chaos, Revelation]
The most chaotic personalities from both regions; they are both chaotic in game with weird picks, aggressive play, constantly saying inflammatory or cursed things to their teammates, at least one case of crossdressing and so, so loud. That said, they are both also respected shotcallers and team leaders despite, or sometimes because, of said chaos.
17.The Star[Inspiration, Hope, Serenity]
Zeus and Yike stepped into a team with a legacy and everything to prove and succeeded. Zeus has stated in interviews that he views the pressure of upholding T1’s expectations is something he tackles head on and there are times he completely takes over a game because of his skill. Yike likewise, also stepped into large shoes and many doubts before proving them all wrong with some amazing performances.
18.The Moon[Fear, Growth, Acceptance]
On the surface, the similarity between Xerxe and Willer is their team colors and that they are junglers with odd pocket picks. A step further though, and they share a similar story of struggle and growth. Not long after their rookie debuts, they became discouraged and fell into slumps. They feared not being good enough and were laughed and scorned by the wider community. They needed help from others (Vizicsacsi, Oner) and to find something in themselves. Both of them grew into becoming team captains and accepted both their faults and their strengths, becoming well balanced, reliable parts of their team. Adorably, they also want to prove to their elders that they’ve grown up well.
