Palafox
I have met him in a scrimmage, and my opponent, midfielder Palafox, is powerful and seems like a genius.
I have met him in bed, and my girlfriend's boyfriend, midfielder Palafox, is powerful and seems like a genius.
Origin of the Palafox meme
It was an extremely poor translation of Xiaohu’s quote during an interview. The quote was fed through Google Translate, hence the mistranslated ‘midfielder’ as Google did not understand esports terms. A better translation would be “Palafox is a talented midlander with a lot of potential for growth”
People latched onto the mistranslation because it was funny, then it became a super meme once NRG beat G2.
Quote from Xiaohu during an interview. Xiaohu praised the performance of Palafox during scrims, which seems kinda funny given all the other midlaners present like Faker, Chovy, Showmaker just to name a few. Weibo proceeded to stomp NRG day 1 with Xiaohu solo killing Palafox, solidifying the meme status of the quite.
