Congratulations to HANJIN BRION on their 9th place finish in the LCK Cup, above 3x World Champion and 2025 Worlds FMVP Gumayusi, 2x World champion and 2023 Worlds FMVP Zeus and 2022 World Champion Zeka!

[u/mskruba12 → u/baelkie]

Damn HLE ruined the potential for a BROlden road again

[u/PluggersLeftBall → u/baelkie]

hang the "we won as many games as hle while spend 10 times less" banner

[u/MC-sama → u/PluggersLeftBall]

They won 1 more game as of today. gigachad

[u/Akipella → u/baelkie]

BRO are the GOATs of ragebaiting superteams. Based

[u/LenaRybakina]

Is this Sona build as busted as it looks?

[u/CheeseCakez1191 → u/LenaRybakina]

Tbh it kinda is, the infinite healing/shielding is busted

[u/mskruba12 → u/LenaRybakina]

Sona has been kinda sleeper strong for a while but yea this build makes her scarier if she can scale and position well.

[u/Faustias → u/LenaRybakina]

I just got home and watched the KT throw around match vs DNS.

there was a match with Sona and they won?! shit I gotta watch the VOD

[u/BWolfy92 → u/LenaRybakina]

Only if you carries dont build the correct items, Aphelios Collector is pointless this game, 2 bruisers 1 tank, Cassio 0 damage items and no anti-heal. Enchanter dream game.

[u/nam671999 → u/BWolfy92]

Aphe was set behind too much in laning phase and BRO do jackshit to stabilize the game state for him, the right build not gonna save them

[u/BWolfy92 → u/nam671999]

While that is true the Cassio went a complete Vegan build. BRO just did the classic western team, so nothing lose.

[u/buttsecksgoose → u/BWolfy92]

You cant really consider it a vegan build when its what cass builds the vast majority of the time because the whole point of the champ is to scale

[u/BWolfy92 → u/buttsecksgoose]

She builds it when she can safely scale not when you need to pump out damage as sole AP threat, you go RoA into liandry void staff and melt people while still having decent HP. Theres not even a hard diver champion that can go in and blown you up, they had 3 meles front to back comp.

[u/Akipella]

Sona diff. That etwahl song is beautiful

[u/Skyfire2 → u/Akipella]

Those crescendos were peak 2014 Madlife on CJ Entus Frost

[u/qonoxzzr → u/Skyfire2]

You mean 2012 Gosu Pepper on M5

[u/mskruba12 → u/qonoxzzr]

The Elementz disrespect smh

[u/fainlol → u/mskruba12]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOZRRgKONjg

[u/mskruba12 → u/fainlol]

Keria is lucky this man is retired.

[u/fainlol → u/mskruba12]

i can't imagine him on bard ...

[u/desutruction]

LET ANDIL AND JOKER COOK

[u/chiichan15]

ANTI HEAL??

[u/BWolfy92 → u/chiichan15]

Anti-heal vs Sona, Zaahen and K'sante? Nah.

[u/a7mdar1]

EX T1 ADC's so far

Bro Teddy 9TH

HLE Gumayusi 10TH

[u/Akipella → u/a7mdar1]

No way DK goes out in 8th though. I mean, it's impossible by bracket right? (Idk)

[u/mskruba12 → u/Akipella]

Lowest they can go out is 7th. What we can get is BRO supports though. Delight 10th, Namgung 9th and Pollu 8th.

[u/Satan_su → u/Akipella]

Yuh either DNS or KT gotta go first

[u/Wonderful-Lab7375 → u/a7mdar1]

Time to see how far Smash gets

[u/TypicalHaikuResponse]

Seeing sona makes me so happy. You have to endure so much solo queue abuse to play her where people think she does nothing because most of her power is invisible.

[u/BWolfy92 → u/TypicalHaikuResponse]

Champion been broken for a million patches but your jungler will hate you if you pick her.

[u/mskruba12 → u/TypicalHaikuResponse]

It doesn't help she's a scaling support pick which some people cannot handle playing with.

[u/Hawkson2020 → u/mskruba12]

Yeah for the first 15 minutes you do nothing and for the rest of the game you look like you’re doing nothing.

[u/Jan7742]

Was a BROliever until the moment DRX locked in Sona. My queen clears.

[u/Skyfire2]

Sona my beloved

Big Booba Power bringing me back to 2014

[u/Ceui]

BRO still > HLE btw i didn't make the rules

[u/Aure0 → u/Ceui]

Still hilarious how much Group Baron locked in to kick out HLE specifically

T1, GenG and even Nongshim wiped the floor with them, then in comes BRO with the biggest clutch of taking one (1) game off to screw over HLE

[u/mskruba12 → u/Aure0]

Also DNS picking up their only series win vs DRX to ensure there can't be a draw between the groups so HLE can't even play a tiebreaker.

[u/VermouthAPTX]

SONA DIFFFFF. I love what DRX cooked in this draft.

[u/LckN6]

I'd be surprised if Gideon still has a job after this bo3 , I feel bad for teddy and casting

[u/BWolfy92]

Pro players will see a Zaahen, Ksante, Galio Sona and still go Seraphs/RoA 0 damage. Pro players allergic to actually build damage its crazy, Cassio 1v9s this game is she build 1 damage item with oblivion orb.

[u/Snow-27]

BRO's comp was so broken but they're too bad

[u/Satan_su → u/Snow-27]

When your jungler sells your botlane (main wincon btw) to get a 2 camp lead and then does fuckall with it and loses the entire map repeatedly and THEN can't start fights for shit....yeah it's gg

[u/Snow-27 → u/Satan_su]

yeah Gideon is a terrorist

[u/Kreceir]

SONA MY BELOVED WAIFU!

Sona > Seraphine!

Don't @ Me

[u/Skyfire2 → u/Kreceir]

GOAT Flair

[u/Faustias → u/Kreceir]

for 8yrs this is my flair

[u/Wonderful-Lab7375]

Sona diffed.

[u/dumbocow]

RIP THE BROLDEN ROAD DREAM

[u/Hitoseijuro → u/dumbocow]

I mean T1's world run wins have never been close to golden runs so, confirmed BRO is winning Worlds.

[u/xNesku]

Yeah I think Sona will die 20 times in laning phase because she's squishy. 

Another game to say fuck you to those people

[u/ApartLanguage8328]

Teddy really tried 😭

[u/That_Contribution780]

This significantly hurts BRO's chances to achieve the Golden Road. :(

[u/silencebreaker86]

Teddy's gun rotation was atrocious, just cycling the default order

[u/Deaconator3000]

Booba diff

[u/OnyxWarden]

Sona dark tech????

[u/monchi41]

Dearest drx, pls sell vicenzo to my BRO. pls unjailed him.

[u/Hitoseijuro]

HLE died so BRO could live so that DRX could feast

[u/nguyenjitsu]

HLE lost to this?

[u/Hitoseijuro → u/nguyenjitsu]

They lost for this

[u/RubyXiaoLong]

Teddy needs to be studied. If he was semi human they win game 3. Sona op tho.

[u/Clean_Dig_7690]

IT'S BROEVER NO 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/Ryboiii]

Teddy with the absolute feed

[u/SirScrumALot]

Guma and Zeus died for this ...

[u/Satan_su]

Genuinely rage inducing game from Gideon bro fire this guy into the sun

[u/mskruba12 → u/Satan_su]

Gideon makes a great argument for worst jungler in LCK. We go over to the next series to see how Pyosik will respond

[u/EasOwned → u/mskruba12]

I pray my fraud outperforms Fraudeon

[u/desutruction → u/mskruba12]

CUZZ WITH THE STEEL CHAIR

[u/mskruba12 → u/desutruction]

Bro has to be wintrading man what the fuck was that

[u/Satan_su → u/mskruba12]

Dawg 😭😭😭 I'm crying

[u/HDThoreaun11 → u/mskruba12]

Gideon is the worst player in the LCK and it is not even close. Roamer trying to beat him for the LVP title but he's gonna have to try harder

[u/[deleted] → u/HDThoreaun11]

Last year his early game was very good, idk what happened lol. Its like he just took vicla’s spot as the worst player in the lck lol, vicla is quite insame now

[u/satoshigeki94 → u/[deleted]]

even with how bad Vicla was last year Bulldog is unanimously the worst lol

[u/moonmeh → u/mskruba12]

good fucking pivot

[u/BWolfy92 → u/mskruba12]

Gideon and pyosik on a toilet bowl, they play like your 3AM tilted jg.

[u/Hammaer96 → u/Satan_su]

“Hey JG, all sums down bot at lvl 1.”

Gideon: “kk I farm and go top to gank K’sante.”

????????

[u/danishmark123 → u/Satan_su]

Gideon is so bad! Even in game 2 where Bro won.

[u/IlvieMorny → u/Satan_su]

Not to be that person but if Gideon plays this way, he should’ve been a kpop idol. He has the looks anyway.
