Samsung has teamed up with popular esports team T1 to promote its Odyssey OLED gaming monitors.
"People say a true craftsman never blames his tools. Who says that?," T1 member Faker kicks off the video.
Over a montage of high-energy sequences and stylistic scenes, the professional gamer reiterates that to become the best, you need the best tools.
Viewers are then treated to beautiful product shots of the Odyssey OLED series, which Faker says is "far more than just a tool."
Each member then takes their turn using the gaming monitor, sharing what Odyssey OLED means to them — confidence, strategy, power, vision, and most of all, a teammate.
"Epic screen. Epic play," the screen writes as the commercial ends.

The latest campaign from the brand and the sports team, who took first place at the 2023 League of Legends Worlds tournament, stretches back to their partnership that dates back to 2020.
Throughout the years, Samsung has tapped t1 to promote its state-of-the-art gaming monitors.
“We are proud to partner with T1, the leader in professional esports, helping them in their continued success and global growth as official display partner,” Samsung Electronics Senior VP of Visual Display Business Hyesung Ha shared during the beginning of the partnership.
What Is the Odyssey OLED G6 and G8?
The tech giant officially introduced the all-new Odyssey OLED G6 and G8 early last week, boasting brighter highlights and stunning colors.
On top of these, it has the Safeguard+ feature, which prevents burn-in by applying a pulsating heat pipe to the monitor.
Additionally, it contains OLED Glare Free technology that reduces reflections while keeping images sharp and a Dynamic Cooling System that condenses a coolant to diffuse heat five times more than older methods.
The Odyssey OLED G8 also marks Samsung's first OLED monitor with AI integration.
Its NQ8 AI Gen3 processor, the same processor used in the 2024 8K TV, improves resolution to nearly 4K when using Samsung Gaming Hub, as well as the monitor’s native Smart TV apps.
"Trusted by T1 as a game-changing teammate for over 4 years, and the official PC monitor partner of the Olympic Games, the best is yet to come from Odyssey OLED," the company wrote.
