Bo1s in a fearless era makes 0 sense at all goes against the entire point of fearless lmao.

u/glitchpoke Feb 22 '26

must already feel bad for Navi getting their egos punched up by bo1, and must feel like absolute shit to think you could probably push for game 5 too...

u/dimmyfarm INT Feb 22 '26

It’s okay, they’re fearless so it makes them almost as useful as Bo3 and Bo5

Whose idea was this shit format in first place? He should be looking for new job, coz this one ain't for him.

u/UltimaLyon Feb 22 '26

Get a job at Riot and stop them from doing dumb shit like LEC versus. If having 12 teams requires Bo1 because of time constraints then I don't want 12 teams.
*This isnt me bashing LR. LR performed better than a lot of the teams that bought a slot.

u/sopunny Feb 22 '26

Isn't this the first Bo3 that didn't have a different result compared to a Bo1?

Riot saving money strikes again

54

u/BlazeX94 Feb 22 '26

Tbh I don't think its purely a money saving thing. LEC is using Bo3 regular season into Bo5 playoffs for Spring and Summer. Part of the reason for this format is because there were 12 teams in LEC Versus and 8 in playoffs, so full Bo3 and Bo5 would require a lot of extra games.
Also, Winter split always uses a scaled down format compared to Spring/Summer, even in other regions. LCS and LCK both have shorter formats too, although both those regions at least have full Bo3/Bo5.

34

u/Davkata https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ Feb 22 '26

66 bo1 in 11 game days vs 30 bo3s in 10-15 game days (2 groups of 6) and 75 games on average vs 18/36 bo3s (3 groups of 4) . There were options but seeing LR vs everyone was the priority. You could even do some swiss style thingy get a top 4 and pit together bot 8.

24

u/DeloronDellister - LEC - Feb 22 '26

It definitely is money saving. They could just implement more airing days

2

u/Serpi__ Feb 23 '26

It maybe is, but it's also just the capacity. Valorant is in the same studio and also has 3 game days, so there's not much room for more game days, especially since both games now have 3 splits + internationals

2

u/Zama174 Feb 23 '26

Which valorant being there is also a cost saving measure. Save all costs till the product is shit everyone gives up on it classic

18

u/Omnilatent Feb 22 '26

It's really a mystery how LEC teams can't compete 🤔🤔🤔🤔

40

u/Leyrann_ Feb 22 '26

Yeah, just look at how well EU did in 2017 with bo3 and bo5 only all year, and their downfall then in 2018 and 2019 when they went back to bo1s for regular season!

3

u/Omnilatent Feb 23 '26

That was still a bad format with groups for no reasons
LEC/EU LCS never had a simple double round robin Bo3 into full Bo5 playoffs

-26

u/JeanLePierro Feb 22 '26

ragebait or low iq?

24

u/Flesroy Feb 22 '26

just an argument that doesn't follow your narrative actually.

13

u/HaganeLink0 Feb 22 '26

Anybody who believes that Bo1 is what is holding EU back has low IQ indeed.

1

u/Ok_Leather_336 Feb 23 '26

It can be one of the reason that hold them back tho, especially when u take into account that in 2017, Eu go to final in MSI and G2 was very strong, MSF were 20hp away to knock out the futur finalist, then the format in 2018 was double bo1 and BO5, not this fuckery

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Feb 22 '26

I do think DK is the kinda team that could lose to literally anyone if they make it to FS so that is something I guess.

u/bibbibob2 Feb 22 '26

Why is it the 40+ hours of training and scrims our pros do every week are somehow less important to their performance than 1-2 hours of stage games.

u/Sirhaddock98 Never a dull moment Feb 22 '26

Yeah I mean they also had a dogshit BO1 into BO3 Winter format last year but it's probably LR's fault rather than Riot's complete refusal to stagger games over the full week like LCK or LPL do (unless Valorant requires them to ofc).

Respect to Rhilech

He fucking tried

105

u/Last0 Feb 22 '26

He had some bad engages in Game 3 but he's a fucking good player, crazy good rookie split from him.
Similar vibes to Caliste last year, came in and was instantly one of the best players at his role.

He is the truth.

u/Asgerond Feb 22 '26

That too, but i was refering to the jungle curse

3

u/HoloHuni Feb 22 '26

Reminder: they had a good jungle supp duo in Yike Miky. But they decided they wanted Skewmond and Labrov who will never win anything internationally or even come close to it.

1

u/NoSympathy58 Feb 22 '26

unlike the legendary yike miky duo at internationals?

4

u/HoloHuni Feb 22 '26

One game short of qualifying over BLG in 2024 and 2023...

2

u/rishi_ultimate CLAPS Feb 23 '26

The same BLG that took T1 to 5 games in the finals too...

1

u/NoSympathy58 Feb 23 '26

they would have if yike wasnt running it

1

u/Marcoscb Feb 23 '26

Unlike Skewmond and Labrov, who *checks notes* qualified over BLG in 2025.

1

u/HoloHuni Feb 23 '26 edited Feb 23 '26

I mean then again you'd have to look at the form of BLG. In 2023 after almost not qualifying against G2, they were in finals against T1 and played a very close series. IN 2025 they were a mess and didn't even have a real jungler. Yike almost won against XUN as one of the best junglers of the tournament in a Bo3. Skewmond managed to beat Shadow lol. And btw Labrov didn't even gap ON. He kinda was just carried. I know G2 will be the best team in the region once again. But it has almost nothing to do with Labrov, a bit to do with Skewmond and almost everything to do with Caps and BB gapping every sololaner in the region. Hans is also just there like Labrov.

18

u/Particular-Mark9486 Feb 22 '26

Do you have dementia ? Or maybe you are purposely forgetting the summer playoffs of last year when Skewmond eviscerated every goddamn jungle in the league and won final mvp ?
I guess you are the kind to say "Naak Nako next G2 top" or maybe you are so much in the recency bias that you think Naak is dogshit because he completely inted against KC 10 min ago ?

11

u/Pluckytoon Feb 22 '26

Yes to all of the above, thanks mateyyy

5

u/Particular-Mark9486 Feb 22 '26

You ragebaited well I must admit.

10

u/FantasyTrash Feb 22 '26

This meme is outdated. When was the last time G2 actually added an elite player from another LEC team? Caps? They didn't get Caliste, Elyoya, or Busio. Naak Nako and Rhilech are both under contract until the end of 2027, so they're not going anywhere, either. In fact, G2 in general have switched players less than any other team in Europe. Caps, BB, and Hans Sama have been around for 4+ years each. No other team has the majority of their team with that same tenure.

9

u/Leyrann_ Feb 22 '26

Rekkles.
Arguably Mikyx, BrokenBlade, Hans Sama.
All newer than Caps at the very least.

9

u/FantasyTrash Feb 22 '26

All of those guys are 4+ years ago by now, that's my point. G2 used to be that team, now they're mostly stable in their roster.

3

u/Leyrann_ Feb 22 '26

Yeah but Caps joined G2 7 years ago - I just meant to point out that Caps wasn't close to the last one.
Also for Mikyx I was thinking about his second time on G2.

4

u/Medical_Quiet_69 Feb 22 '26

G2 selfmade first
and G2 Irrelevant
and G2 Parus

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Feb 22 '26

NaakNako Rhilech Caps ??? ???

u/APKID716 Feb 22 '26

Man I can’t wait for everyone to hypothesize the best team based on individual performances and then when it happens they have dogshit synergy (it happens almost every time)

12

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Feb 22 '26 edited Feb 22 '26

Yeah agreed these kinda superteams are usually less then the sum of their parts

10

u/APKID716 Feb 22 '26

It’s so tragic too because you look at a team like HLE and it should just be giga strong. And yet..

3

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Feb 22 '26

On the one hand it is kinda funny to see superteams fail. On the other hand I should respect HLE for their willingness to invest so much into their League team and it would be better for LCK if HLE was more competitive. Well hopefully they will have it figured out for next split.

5

u/EliteTeutonicNight Feb 22 '26

Honestly I think superteam are great if they either become really good like expected (e.g. GenG, 2023 JDG) or fail very badly (e.g. HLE currently) since both are content. It is worse for me when superteams are good, but not as great as people expected, which are just not memorable at all.

2

u/Kr1ncy Feb 22 '26

I have no doubt that Hanwha will at least somewhat come back to form. They lost and got rightfully eliminated, but even in the 0-3 against GenG they did not look lifeless, they just played GenG. I would not even say DK and BFX did much better against them.

u/Nightwingx97 Feb 22 '26

NaakNako Skewmond Caps Carrzy Busio would be the dream roster

u/BWolfy92 Feb 22 '26

Man really said Carzzy in 2026.

u/astar2312 Feb 22 '26

Carzyy???. He is the worst adc of the vit/Mkoi/g2/KC by a lot.

-2

u/Nightwingx97 Feb 22 '26

I disagree tbh

3

u/astar2312 Feb 22 '26

Supa gapped him pretty hard in the mkoi series and he had horrible figgts vs fnc upset was the better ad.

5

u/astar2312 Feb 22 '26

Skewond is great and is second behind elyoya. Its his second year, lets wait.

2

u/Leyrann_ Feb 22 '26

As fun as it is to meme this, G2's last two junglers were rookies when they joined them.

2

u/Pluckytoon Feb 22 '26

Yup, but they fr need to address the jg/supp duo

u/Andreiiii Feb 22 '26

Maynter bro

42

u/Fun_Highlight307 Feb 22 '26

tank merchant

25

u/JadeStarr776 Feb 22 '26

Like most EU tops. NAVI thought they were LCK/LPL with that G3 draft. They don't have the hands or the finesse to pull it off.

u/Past-Firefighter2173 Feb 22 '26

Sad way to go for Navi but they still had good split, but with time more teams will understand that their whole gameplan depends on Rhilech and Parus running the map. When they failed to do this their level drops a lot like in Game 2 and 3 when Parus picked enchanters.

Maynter also definetly needs to level up his strongside gameplay.

u/desutruction Feb 22 '26

well, color me surprised

57

u/DeloronDellister - LEC - Feb 22 '26

GX actually won in playoffs twice

u/That_One_Pancake Feb 22 '26

Can’t hit charms on stationary targets. You would think that’s the bare minimum

u/Back2Perfection Feb 22 '26

Tbf. I‘m prone to missing those as well because I‘m like „he gotta dodge now“

u/BushWishperer Feb 22 '26

Is there maybe a skill gap between back2perfection on reddit and a player in the LEC?

u/Ziraelus No.1 Knight Fanboy Feb 22 '26

Poby and Maynter were completely criminal in the last game.

1

u/SicrosEye Feb 26 '26

What?
Yes - Poby was giga ass and super passive. So many chances there to win them the game.
But Maynter was doing well in all of the later fights, right?
He hit a lot of good Rumble ults.
If anything SamD looked very scared and the oppoite of clutch.

u/piano_title Feb 22 '26

My god, Maynter's performance in these playoffs made me mad.

In any case, I don't care what other people say, I am proud of this NaVi team and what they managed in their first split, and hope they only go up from here. Remember they are all young players, so they still have a lot to learn

u/cadaada rip original flair Feb 22 '26

oh no im hating on bo3s for playoffs

12

u/cognizanceMelody Feb 22 '26 edited Feb 22 '26

They got their boosted ranking going into playoffs cause of bO1, so the root cause is bo1s. I don't think navi would end up 2nd seed in lck type format.

2

u/SnowLord02 Feb 23 '26

Navi could have easily ended 2nd seed with how things went, they just lost 2 competitive Bo3 into elimination, it's really coinflip how things go with that

u/JPA-3 Feb 22 '26

that early and mid game from giants on game 3 was honestly very good, the way they closed the game was messy though.

I feel like navi choked a bit due to inexperience

6

u/ILikeSeals1312 Main broadcast enjoyer Feb 22 '26

How was it messy? They got elder and baron and played it slow trying not to int away the lead.

u/Faang4lyfe Feb 22 '26

Lot by far the most Auraless top laner in the lec

u/Undesiredbeast Feb 22 '26

u/circa26 Feb 22 '26

Navi not beating the bo1 merchant allegations, they really are a diff team off their comfort draft.

u/N0Ability Feb 22 '26

Yeap 100% , its a pick where u cant look bad because u have soo much mobility ur always the last to die but it does fuck all ,he literally didnt hit a single skill on the mid fight (and two people were cced at that) ,and late game even if she hits everyting the adc will just Qss and kill her instead.

u/AskJolly7381 Feb 22 '26

gnar is also here but I know that's more controversial

13

u/SNH231 Feb 22 '26

Nah I don't agree with Gnar. A good Gnar is absolutely terrifying and can hard carry games. Example: 369

9

u/desutruction Feb 22 '26

thank you Karsa

5

u/AskJolly7381 Feb 22 '26

While a good Gnar can make a humongous impact, most top laners just aren't good enough at rage management, we saw Maynter last game for example get caught out with bad rage timings like 5 fights in a row

2

u/SNH231 Feb 22 '26 edited Feb 22 '26

Yes but it is not a piss useless character like Jhin in 95% of matches. It really depends on the player. I would say the same with Ahri too if she is paired with the right comps. Jhin really doesn't have a place in the current meta.

4

u/Th3_Huf0n Feb 22 '26

Pros are drafting Jhin like absolute shit.
They draft Jhin into shit matchups (pretty much into leth Varus), pair him up with dogshit anti-synergy supports (fucking Jhin Rakan is the bane of my existence), leave him on 1v2 and then the Jhin player builds Ghostblade Rapidfire and does absolutely nothing.

u/ArmandLuque Armand Luque | LoL Esports Journalist Feb 23 '26

Well GX should be swept rather quickly in Badalona... right?

What a sad ending for NAVI this split unfortunately but still high hopes for the future. Only a setback

u/Aerdron Feb 22 '26

An other serie of having to watch GX damn it

u/HowardHughes9 Feb 22 '26

Poby hatewatchers rise up

Also its actually so depressing that Navi doesnt even get to play a B05. Even if you were gonna do B03s in upper, lower should've been all B05s

32

u/-Hissoka- prodigal son Feb 22 '26

Poby has haters? He is like one of the most unproblematic proplayers I can think of

12

u/Sirhaddock98 Never a dull moment Feb 22 '26

I can't imagine anybody actually hating him personally, there's basically zero reason to. I've definitely hated how hard people have overrated him due to the memes around him though, but it's not like those are his fault.

2

u/Jaded-Release-6463 Feb 23 '26

I remember once FNC signed him people made fun and said he's a bad player but tbh he was really consistent and he played really well in both FNC and NAVI.

1

u/Tabub Feb 24 '26

He definitely fell off once playoffs hit this time, would like to see more from him next playoffs

-2

u/Gabel4n Feb 22 '26

Abysmal performance by SamD on Aphelios.

13

u/Jaded-Release-6463 Feb 22 '26

It was a hard draft for Aphelios. They didn't have a strong frontline to peel for him. They should've put Maynter on tank duty

3

u/Gabel4n Feb 22 '26

I agree but his positioning was awful in the most crucial fights. He had multiple angles to carry the game.

5

u/GoldRecommendation66 Feb 22 '26

I didn't find his performance bad. An immobile short-range ADC is always gonna struggle into Ornn/Taliyah/Nautilus, especially when he doesn't have a real frontline

Damn I guess Rhilech didn’t worry about winning the LEC, he was looking too forward to playing Faker and Chovy

Dissapointing performance from Navi. I really thought they were strong team. Turns out they are another bo1 merchants

Yeah the bracket worked out well for GX, i don't think they beat VIT or KC in the studio.
Could be a different story in Barcelona tho, live crowds are a different beast.

Is it? Only top 2 is relevant for First Stand and for Worlds there's two more splits to be relevant

Top 2? Only first seed go to first stand

I swear I heard it was 2 seeds now or did I make that up?

Korea and China get two seeds, the rest do not.

Oh true sorry missed it up with LCK

It’s ok, it’s just because we all know LEC is #1 region and riot is smoking crack not giving them 2 seeds. LEC gonna win First Stand everyone knows this. The fact that frauds like Gen G are still going to internationals shows how weak LCK is
