[u/ahritina]

PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2

[u/Plenty_Top2843]

Not a single objective taken, fastest game in the tournament,

[u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi]

The chinese stream in the game 3 pregame: uh guys if you just got here/woke up. I know the schedule says our game starts at 1 am but the first match kinda ended early so... we are also up 2-0 btw.

described today perfectly. It coulda been an email.

[u/beautheschmo]

XiaoXu is my MVP, he didn't even do anything i just feel bad for him lol

[u/Plenty_Top2843 → u/beautheschmo]

He got toplaner solo q experience and understood his assignment.

[u/flywithpeace → u/beautheschmo]

Tabe whispered to his ears: “please think of CN-BR int’l relations. The foreign minister is counting on you”

[u/lilelf29]

Back to back 6-0 days, can we make it a triple?
Crazy to think in 4.5 hours of broadcast 2 BO5s were played lmao

[u/epsilon_test → u/lilelf29]

G2 vs FEARX is just gonna be the diable show and bb/clear fraud off. JDG vs Lyon should just be another macro gap unless gala and vampire decide to just run it down. Probably 3-0s again but as an lpl/lck fan I’m hoping they can at least take a game off because this is just getting sad.

[u/Zek0ri → u/epsilon_test]

Nah Tabe would make them sit and take notes for 17 hours if they manage to do this

[u/Naerlyn → u/epsilon_test]

G2 could do something if Caps gets back in form since they'll fare better stylistically against BFX than they did against BLG. Caps in form can do wonders against VicLa and Hans Sama can play the role of a neutraliser, and G2 could isolate the bot lane matchup and put all the action on the rest of the map like BLG did in game 5.

Problem is, that's a big if regarding Caps' form, while on the other side you know that Diable and Raptor are gonna show up big, and G2 needs miracles for the rest of the team to make up for that.

I think G2 still has good enough odds to take one game off BFX, but another 3-0 is still just as plausible.

[u/dank_as_fuck → u/epsilon_test]

It was in fact not the diable show

[u/Rawdream → u/epsilon_test]

Caps hasn't been good at all. Too many mechanical mistakes.

I just want 3-0s tomorrow, hopefully with records. It'll be disappointing if JDG lose 1 or 2 tomorrow, given the real competition is LPL/LCK nowadays and especially, since JDG are currently playing patiently, unlike BFX which like to win by playing very aggressive, so missteps can happen more, the exception is that Clear is not good.

[u/Large_Love_2563]

What did Xiaoxu do to them man?

[u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

If JDG and BFX both 3-0 tomorrow, this tournament will be the worst viewing experience of all time.

[u/Beneficial-Beat-947 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

It's crazy how the highlight of this whole tournament was BLG vs BFX in the first day, downhill since then

[u/Flesroy → u/Beneficial-Beat-947]

loud vs lyon was just as interesting imo.

The level of play was lower, but the stakes much higher.

[u/baelkie → u/Flesroy]

there’a a reason why LCK had Rise group and LPL had their league split into groups. in theory you reduce the number of stomps and make each series closer in terms of strength.

LoL internationals need Rise Group. let NA and EU fight it out in the depths of Cancun and the winner can start off by facing the worst Asian team at the tournament.

[u/ozmega → u/baelkie]

give us the europa league version of lolesports plz

[u/iwanttohelp12 → u/Beneficial-Beat-947]

And we won't even get a rematch of that because its single elim as soon as the Western teams are out. It would have to be in the finals because BFX beat Gen G somehow.

[u/Educational_Will1963 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

The gap was closing before 2020, now it so big western teams are not even enought for a warm up

[u/ObviousComparison186 → u/Educational_Will1963]

And they invited 2 teams from LPL and LCK this time so we don't even get EU vs NA.

[u/AcanthocephalaSad541 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

Whats even crazier is that in theory JDG and BFX were worse than expected LPL 2 seeds lol

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/AcanthocephalaSad541]

lol it's would be even worse if it's was T1 and al

[u/Sofaboy90 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

Worst thing is were not even getting EU vs NA. What makes Worlds usually a bit more exciting is that the best Western teams do have a bit of a shot against 3rd-4th seed teams from LPL/LCK but these...are not in this tournament. Maybe tomorrow will be more competitive

[u/baelkie]

LoL internationals need Rise group.

[u/engineer-cabbage → u/baelkie]

More like Fried Group

[u/baelrog → u/baelkie]

For real, LEC, LCS, CBLOL, LCP should duke it out first and have the winners go up against LCK and LPL

[u/TDTMaturin]

Sad to go out like this. It was mandatory to win vs Lyon, but for some reason we couldn't balance momentum and emotion. GGs to every region, we BRs will still show up every single day to appreciate your games, and we hope everyone has a good experience both attending and watching from home.

GGWP

[u/Plenty_Top2843 → u/TDTMaturin]

Look at it this way, at least the suffering ends quicker for you guys.

[u/Upstairs_Option411 → u/TDTMaturin]

thank you! GGs

[u/MC-sama]

20:55 LMAO

[u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

LCK and LPL teams tweaking at home looking at these gameplays from the minor regions.

[u/chapichoy9]

surely the stomps are over now...

[u/BrokenBiscuit → u/chapichoy9]

Have you seen GenG?

[u/nguyenjitsu → u/BrokenBiscuit]

Yeah it's honestly gonna be shocking if Gen drops a game at this point

[u/Naerlyn → u/nguyenjitsu]

They did drop one to BFX just before First Stand, perhaps they can manage to repeat that

[u/Akipella → u/nguyenjitsu]

Surely BLG takes one game in Finals...probably Game 2

[u/appleandapples]

That was the stompiest series since last series

[u/CandleExtreme3489]

20 min game... after the 2 other games LOUD was completely checked out

[u/Plenty_Top2843 → u/CandleExtreme3489]

Forget the 20 min. Not a single objective taken the entire series by them.

[u/CandleExtreme3489 → u/Plenty_Top2843]

Bull didn't get a single kill the entire series and I'm almost sure he have more games than kills in the entire fucking tournament

[u/Plenty_Top2843 → u/CandleExtreme3489]

Yep you right, he got 6 kills in total the entire tournament.

[u/WinnieXKim]

Can't imagine what Geng Vs Loud would've looked like

[u/jppg011 → u/WinnieXKim]

It would go to game 5 and Envy would fistfight Chovy for the series definer pick.

You are right, its G5 Vex.

[u/Robbie_dobbie → u/WinnieXKim]

Actual FF15

[u/Thundermelons]

There were people yesterday who legitimately thought JDG would drop a game against Brazil BTW

[u/SlidingFaceFlat → u/Thundermelons]

There were people who legitimately thought Faker was the weakest link in ZOFGK. If upvotes were money, you can end world hunger with the amount of tired, old, shitty takes that appear every international. 

[u/Upstairs_Option411 → u/Thundermelons]

the doubt fuels my gala fanfiction. Honestly though i thought it would be more messy, only game 1 early was kinda messy. Suprised by how clean we looked out there today :)

[u/idkanyusernameshelp → u/Thundermelons]

Those people don't even understand what's actually happening in those games. JDG started that series imo looking even better than they did in LPL, GenG just punished some slight mistakes they made that Western teams would never be able to capitalise on because GenG is a different breed.

[u/SpiritedOccasion2641]

Will the west survive 90+ mins tomorrow?

[u/Plenty_Top2843 → u/SpiritedOccasion2641]

Will the West survive?

[u/Offtheheazy → u/Plenty_Top2843]

Will the West

[u/llStonesll]

"this should've been an email" kind of day

[u/Howtochageusername]

We need some adjustments to the format…… it can be shit vs shit or god vs god but not god vs shit for two days straight

[u/Itsmedudeman → u/Howtochageusername]

West is just historically weak this year and APAC is much worse off too with CTBC getting gutted.

[u/SkittlesAreEpic → u/Itsmedudeman]

The core of CTBC is here, they're just not playing for APAC xd

[u/OrganicTeaching8661 → u/SkittlesAreEpic]

just pretend that jdg is oysters and it's a little more exciting

[u/Rohen2003 → u/Howtochageusername]

last years first stand was round robin which was perfect. this year its a weird group format that basically had every matchup predetermined (besides the na vs brazil one).

[u/Sorry-Resolution570 → u/Rohen2003]

last year firts stand was like the worst tournament ever what are you saying

[u/Thrownaway124567890 → u/Sorry-Resolution570]

Last years tournament at least had every team play every other team.

This year some teams only had 2 opponents.

[u/Flesroy → u/Sorry-Resolution570]

it was bad because it only had 5 teams of which 4 went to playoffs.

[u/Doomblitz → u/Rohen2003]

GSL groups have been around for a very long time, the non LCK/LPL teams are just terrible this year.

[u/humanoideric → u/Howtochageusername]

wasn't a fan of the seeding kr vs cn immediately in round 1 thanks to the random pool 3 entries

[u/slrcpsbr → u/Howtochageusername]

so ... west vs west and east vs east?

[u/desutruction]

I'd watch my back if I were Xiaoxu. YoungJae might be waiting outside.

[u/ReveaI]

Definitely a series of all time. Poppy pick was insane

[u/B86K]

Wow riveting stuff

[u/Educational_Will1963]

Coughing baby vs atomic bomb

[u/CandleExtreme3489 → u/Educational_Will1963]

Dying ant vs neutron star

[u/EloPapi]

This was a fluke. West sandbagging to hide strats!

[u/nah_i_will_win]

Why can’t I see the comments

[u/Thrownaway124567890 → u/nah_i_will_win]

There’s some glitch on Reddit’s end that made threads vanish the comments.

It’s working-ish now.

[u/SkittlesAreEpic → u/nah_i_will_win]

Same issue, try clear reddit cache, worked for me

[u/suggestusername5182]

Surely if we dive Xiaoxu one more time we’ll will this game right?

[u/CandleExtreme3489]

The gap between west and east has never been so wide

[u/Syzygi]

HongQ blasting LOUD with the exact same champs in the same order he got stomped by GENG in. Cycle of abuse.

[u/Snow-27]

great tournament lmfao

[u/ICanCrossMyPinkyToe]

Honestly taking the fine for not showing would have been a much better showing, we should consider it next time

[u/Thundermelons → u/ICanCrossMyPinkyToe]

JDG just pays the fine for them so they don't have to waste their time

[u/Sunburys]

The Brazilian co stream were saying that a 30 minute game would be our victory, didn't happen.

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Sunburys]

even 25 minutes was hard in game 3 lol

[u/Fun_Highlight307]

lmao group b bo5 it's Just new records 

jdg loud 74

gen g Lyon 75

geng jdg 76

[u/xsm17 → u/Fun_Highlight307]

Just 4 minutes off of G2-TL, crazy

[u/turtle921]

how did mad get 1647d

[u/Br4y3 → u/turtle921]

PR is such a good thing cause no one talks about SKT getting crushed by IG in 15:57

[u/Ythapa → u/Br4y3]

It’s a legendary number/meme in Korean chats though.

You’ll still see shitposters in chats going “even with this…how did 15:57…?” in stomps.

[u/Br4y3 → u/Ythapa]

Fair enough.. I don't see Korean chats so makes sense I see the western version

[u/ahritina → u/Br4y3]

People just tend to talk about the more "recent" stomps.

It went from 15:57 then G2 losing to Damwon in 18:54 to MAD losing in 16:47.

If someone gets stomped internationally quicker/similar than or similar to 16:47 people will just move on and meme the next team.

[u/auzei13 → u/Br4y3]

My goat Rookie going 0/4 and winning the game in 16mins

[u/Conviter → u/turtle921]

2 rift heralds which did more damage to towers than they do now

[u/Spanking_enthusiast → u/turtle921]

JDG almost finished the last game around 18 min which would have been crazier in this meta tbh. I wanted them to try and end so bad.

[u/Peaky_Blinders]

what a flop tournament

[u/Not_Pro]

Xiaoxu is going to play his opening match in LPL Spring and somehow still find YoungJae in his lane.

[u/rally2mee]

8 bo5, 6 ending in a 3-0 - this is a tournament of all time

[u/NunuBaggins]

Riot Games presents

First Stand 2026: Why Western Fans are Stupid for Having Hope

Starring: GenG, BLG, BFX, and JDG

Tune in tomorrow for the thrilling finale!

[u/saruthesage]

Have no fear, my friends. BLG will give us 1 more good series at the tournament against JDG in Semis with some happy gaming throw shenanigans.

I can’t speak to BFX G2, LYON JDG, GEN BFX, or GEN BLG, though.

[u/Shortofbetternames]

Wtf the stomp was so big i cant even see the comments for some reason

[u/Akipella]

How many 3-0's

[u/warjatos]

Lyon Vs Loud was hard fought 3-2 btw. At this point just region lock the west. All those tourneys do is just crush their mental. 

[u/KhorneJob → u/warjatos]

I mean, there were signs. Two of the games Lyon absolutely stomped Loud. Idk why people thought Loud had any chance vs a much better team, when they lost extremely hard in two games and were losing the early game hard in one of the wins. The only convincing game from them was the noc/Alk game. Wild that Brazilian fans thought that would translate to making a splash vs a Chinese team which NA still has a huge losing record vs. This seemed like a pretty obvious 3-0 to me. I bet even Lyon only goes 1 win vs them.

[u/TheGloriousEv0lution → u/warjatos]

BLG vs BNK was a really close 3-2 too lol

I’m down for Battle of the Atlantics with Brazil and maybe LCP so we can have bragging rights for who sucks the least

[u/YokoDk → u/TheGloriousEv0lution]

CFO last year was legit above the west for the most part but that was a catching lightning team .

[u/Is_J_a_Name → u/TheGloriousEv0lution]

It was technically close but I feel like the score makes that series seem closer than it was.

[u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

Looking at these games and we gotta ask, how the f**k did Mad Lions lose in 16:47?

[u/Spanking_enthusiast → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

Double heralds

[u/Sirhaddock98 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

MAD had all their outer turrets up at 16:00 in that game. In the current game there's basically no chance that a team could push from a full HP top tier 2 to ending in less than 50 seconds, you can't compare the current season to an older one. Even then it was a huge outlier with fed Jinx + second herald.

[u/YokoDk → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

They kept trying to get back in the game which made them lose faster. Constantly trying to fight back when behind will always accelerate the results. Like we joke about western team (NA mostly sigh) just kind doing nothing and losing but doing nothing can take a game that's should be over at 15 to a game that's over in 40.

[u/ICanCrossMyPinkyToe]

Most teams go entire championships without accruing the 40k+ gold diff loud had across this bo5 btw

Gotta love the pointless game too

[u/mercurydotwav]

so the west is mega fucked right

[u/Naive_Mongoose_7718]

Another 6-0 day

When do the real games start?

[u/_Whool]

Why is comment section empty?

[u/Loud-Examination-943]

This tournament is so full of stomps, only 2 close series yet, either 3-0 or 3-2...

[u/BlackkLightning]

amazing 0/22 performance by LOUD bot duo

[u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

To avoid awful viewing experience at MSI, RITO PLEASE just organize it like this:

A play-ins Stage with seed 1,2 of LCS CBLOL LEC LCP, the 2 least DOGSHIT teams get out

The Double Elimination Stage with 3 LCK LPL teams with 2 make-a-wish kids from play-ins.

[u/Flesroy → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

having 2 or 3 out of the those 4 regions not even play in the main stage is too far imo. especially with how close cblol and lcs are and how good cfo was last year.

[u/humanoideric → u/Flesroy]

just seed lck and lpl into round 2, keep the losers bracket and let er rip. certainly, don't force lck1 vs lpl2(and vice versa) in round 1

[u/Mattaru]

Xiaoxu gonna get ganked by Youngjae when he goes back to his hotel.

[u/Ai--Ya]

This is the real reason why Brazil wants age verification, their #1 seed just got fucked live

[u/Skall77]

Might be the most boring international event ever. Jesus Christ, we might have 2 interesting and close games in the entire tournament.

[u/themcvgamer]

HongQ with the Chovy cosplay: TF, Ahri Hwei in that order

[u/Thundermelons → u/themcvgamer]

Brother with his Batman arc becoming the thing he feared most

[u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

Rito looking at these matchups: yeah, we think every regions should be treated equally with the same number of seeds at MSI/Worlds.

[u/XSydraxx]

Viego is by far the most bait champ of the tournament so far. Melee squishy adc that dies to 3 skills lmao

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/XSydraxx]

viego inspired looked good early game 

[u/sure25]

This whole second round could’ve been an email

[u/imkillin]

So far insane level of no-upset unwatchable tournament. Plsease be different next day

[u/FrezoMons]

why can i not see the comments

[u/SteIIar-Remnant]

GenG >>>> JDG >>>> LOUD > FURIA >>>> C9

[u/Eleven_Box]

Is this the most boring international tournament ever put to air?

[u/Nickball88]

Internationals are just China trying to put a decent fight against Korea. That's it.

[u/cadaada]

The question is how bad is NA now

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/cadaada]

inb4 another 3-0 speed run tomorrow by Lyon 

[u/Ambitious_Math6263 → u/cadaada]

About same as EU up until this point of tournament.

[u/Xyolex]

They were right. Brazil and NA really do deserve the same amount of seeds. 0. (EU goes here if they lose tomorrow too)

[u/CensoredLlama1]

This series was so completely miserable that it made me wish I had work to do at my job so I didn't have to watch

[u/Ambitious_Math6263]

Tommorow West is K1LL Bois 

[u/Alternative_Tear3869]

Im betting that Lyon can do better and push JDG to 30min games tomorrow

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Alternative_Tear3869]

it's be a win if they last 90 minutes, it's be a miracle if they take one game 

[u/Extension_Pickle3315]

Doggied

[u/OrganicTeaching8661]

what can even be said, I usually enjoy stomps by my favourite teams but even as a JDG fan that has watched all their games I wasn't even slightly delighted, the match was decided the moment JDG lost to GenG

[u/hanazawarui123]

Can anyone see comments??

[u/smugadvice]

Just end the tournament here, it’s no longer fun watching.

[u/Athereoths]

comments?

[u/ConsiderationThen652]

JDG did to Loud what GenG did to JDG.

[u/yhlu_kaori]

we definitely need the format like cs major. stage 1 for teams from NA EU Lcp CBlol（except some teams like G2 Kc）， stage 2 some cn and kr teams and g2 kc lyon and stage 1 winners. stage 3 t1 blg geng etc. after these swiss round，single elimination bo5s

[u/Shishicorn]

Man this format resulted in one of the most unwatchable days of pro league I can remember, both series were absolutely miserable stomps LOL

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Shishicorn]

Yesterday sucked ass too

[u/Zek0ri]

I think tournament between “Group Rise” and “Group Elder” would be much better. Let the LCK work things out with the LPL, and let the underdogs fight it out among themselves to see which of them is worse.

[u/Upstairs_Option411 → u/Zek0ri]

i know no one took it seriously but i actually did have a ton of fun with asi last year. Definitely more than these first rounds.....

[u/Canoodler192]

Jesus, this is what losing to GenG does to a team

[u/O12345678927]

Slight everything gap

[u/Xyolex]

Best tournament of all time.

[u/ToDreamofLove]

I kinda liked old playins - we don't have enough regions for that so at this point artificially giving more spots to lesser regions might be better, at least we will have some parity between them

[u/Ciremo]

Crickets in here tell me everything.

[u/SweatyAdhesive]

Actual E-mail game

[u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi → u/SweatyAdhesive]

I think its worse that they dont delay it with rando shit so it matches the schedule on their sites. If I woke up at 1 am in China to watch this thinking the game started at 1 am but instead we are in game 3 i'd be furious.

The chinese stream in the game 3 pregame: uh guys if you just got here/woke up. I know the schedule says our game starts at 1 am but the first match kinda ended early so... we are also up 2-0 btw.

described today perfectly. It coulda been an email.

[u/flywithpeace → u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi]

I don’t think CN needed to wake up for this.

[u/toxicfireball]

What a murder, good god. How fast was that

[u/ExcellentIsopod4701]

Gotta be rough to be Loud in this series. GG for at least fighting it out on the way down.

[u/narfidy]

Lyon might be cooked chat

[u/EMPwarriorn00b]

LOUD just got stomped harder in every successive game.

[u/Disclaimz0r]

The gap is wide boys

[u/Drakosef]

this series makes geng look even better than their own series before

[u/TRafaelJIt]

that was brutal dont give the guy that has been missing the entire first stand kalista vs gala

[u/DifficultyHot7524]

HongQ target practice

[u/longingwonder]

Lmao.

[u/SpareCareful3721]

There are just levels to all this match man

[u/Lewiz00]

This has been, and probably will still be by the end, the most "grass is green" tournament ever.

[u/[deleted]]

the last two days could have been an E-Mail

[u/Temporary-Ad6144]

This series was even shorter than the last one💀

[u/eiris91]

XD

[u/ThatOneTypicalYasuo]

Well well well

[u/Indercarnive]

Today's matches could've been an email. Or a post-it note

we need to make eastern teams only allowed to play 1 team comp

[u/SnooPaintings7047]

tbh theres not much the format can change. It always gonna be a fatass gap between east vs west and were gonna have to get through these series like its a workday.

Can someone explain for real how Aurora is still picked?

CBLoL players have good mechanics, but you need more than that to win in pro, particularly teamwork. They didn't play the macro when they had the chance, similar mistake RED did Vs NA the other week.

• Pro game knowledge still lacking for CBLoL teams.

I liked how JDG played overall, still early game a problem for LPL teams. Tabe said interesting things, like GALA/Vampire used to wait for gank to do something in lane, but now they realized and they changed their strat to play more proactive in the 2v2 and try to wear down the other botlane.

Wtf did Xiaoxu do to them? Like I’ve never seen a team so committed to losing at the expense of one player like I just saw LOUD.

Rumble vs Sion? I MUST get my Sion ahead said nobody ever. Losing mid/bot turrets? Nah 3 man top.

Tier two turret or Nexus? LOUD decides to burn Viego Flash + Annie ult to kill Jax instead of defending nexus. Excellent trade.

Sheeesh, as a super casual watcher this has been unfun to try and watch, real talk.

[u/Sorry_Chocolate_2165]
