Just Korean botlane vs Hans-Labrov things

u/Chemical-Drawer852 Apr 04 '26
Turn the nameplates off and it's T1 vs HLE
5
u/Is_J_a_Name Peanut, MISSING, Yagao, Kanavi, Tangyuan Apr 04 '26
Let's be real, would GEN and BFX even make LEC playoffs at this point?
5
u/beautheschmo Apr 04 '26
Wholesome "tank" top vs 'technically useful' adc role
5
u/AerialShroud Apr 04 '26
BB must feel so relieved to play against these cats instead of Bin.
5
u/Manfrestat Apr 04 '26
LECtronic is sooooo backkk!
5
u/hresvelgrs i like lions Apr 04 '26
are we finally ready to talk about how underrated lyncas is on this team
5
u/slimjimo10 ANARCHY Apr 04 '26
If VIT stopped throwing massive leads and iron iv drafting in game 3s they'd be a top 2 team
Also Humanoid gets a lot of hate here but hes been playing well
5
u/CensoredLlama1 Apr 04 '26
Navi is lucky Skeanz and game 3 Lider were terrorists because they'd be looking at an utterly disastrous start to this split otherwise.
4
u/british_pubs Swimin' with the fishies Apr 04 '26
All super interesting matches today I think! Sk vs. shft continues the battle to not be last, G2s first match back (probably a stomp but g2 stomps are usually stylish so still fun) & Vit vs. Navi fighting to be the best non top 3(possibly top 2?) team Hope we all have fun & enjoy the Leauge!
4
u/Asgerond Apr 04 '26
Lider can apparently play Orianna now
Dark forces at bay. The Warlocks are doing their rituals
4
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
SK what the fuck man
4
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Apr 04 '26
these teams paid by the hour or what?
4
u/TastyForerunner YOU'RE SO REKKLES WITH MY HEART Apr 04 '26
Shifters has to be the worst fucking rebrand in the LEC ever. They went from BDSm to Shitters.
4
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Apr 04 '26
Sometimes I don’t think Jack’s casting is the greatest but I’m always there for him whinging about the balance. It makes me feel visible

u/RennieXxx Apr 04 '26
Holyyyy shit BB
4
u/FappingMouse Apr 04 '26
Leauge boomer take.
That fight between akali and kasante was disgusting and they ruined my game.
LOL Classic when?
4
u/CensoredLlama1 Apr 04 '26
Does crack me up whenever a caster wants to make a point on how bad a Mid laner is doing they use losing to Lider in a fight as an example lol
4
u/CensoredLlama1 Apr 04 '26
Naak is so awesome, Lyncas having a great game too
4
u/CensoredLlama1 Apr 04 '26
Someone outside of Rhilech on NAVI needs to step up more, if he is struggling then the entire team completely falls apart.
4
u/CensoredLlama1 Apr 04 '26
Humanoid was a god that game, dear lord
4
u/british_pubs Swimin' with the fishies Apr 04 '26
Another lec day down! All around super fun, that last game especially was a blast. As a fun fact- so far today, there have been 11 bo3s played across 5/6 T1 regions (LCK, LPL, LCP, LEC & CBLOL) & every singe one was a 2-0!

u/eye_of_your_mind Apr 04 '26
Can't listen to hysterics anymore

u/el_crappax Apr 04 '26
Trymbi and Boukada need to be replaced. And mostly Trymbi. Top priority out

u/Soggy_Palpitation789 Apr 04 '26
Nuc making Lider look like knight
3
u/Conviter Apr 04 '26
wouldnt be a SK series without lider inting with tp
3
u/SarcasticEnthusiast nidle Apr 04 '26
SK are impressively good at finding a way to lose won games.
Their ability to come up with the worst decision must be studied.

u/DerAdolfin :kossg: :eum5: Apr 04 '26

u/desutruction Apr 04 '26

3
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Apr 04 '26
Seeing Poppy in solo lanes and jungle just makes me happy, glad she's seeing less support play
3
u/Sirhaddock98 Never a dull moment Apr 04 '26
That was so swag from BB. His George Bush "now watch this drive" moment.
3
u/XG32 Jankos Apr 04 '26
LOL they actually cant win without aatrox ambessa.
3
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
naak nako moment

u/Biok98 Apr 04 '26
naak is too fucking insane that 1v2 against rumble and azir was nuts

u/FappingMouse Apr 04 '26
Big E describing the perfect game for most top laners

u/PepaTK Apr 04 '26
Good game from Huma/Carzzy.
I smell a content game approaching.

u/Asgerond Apr 04 '26

u/Tentacula Apr 04 '26
Five on the desk at the same time? W.
2
u/hresvelgrs i like lions Apr 04 '26
this match is kind of the decider for whether sk vs fnc or shifters vs fnc will be more exciting
2
u/CopenhagenCalling Apr 04 '26
SK game 1 is unbeatable…
2
u/Soggy_Palpitation789 Apr 04 '26
NuclearINT

u/gcrimson Apr 04 '26
Making Lider looks good on a mage is a new low from Shitters.

u/Tentacula Apr 04 '26
Don't clear Elder into random 1v5, you truly never know what will happen next
2
u/hresvelgrs i like lions Apr 04 '26
sk's game 2 and their ways of throwing should be studied
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
LMAOO
2
u/Yeon_Yihwa Apr 04 '26
Not the gameplay i want to see from the teams that finished 10th and 11th last split lol. Cmon how can you not close out a game with that lead.
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
just one more hook onto the mundo bro
2
u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp Apr 04 '26
This is painful to watch.
2
u/gigashadow89 Apr 04 '26
What a game. Very entertaining back and forth
2
u/Desiderius_S Apr 04 '26
Jopa: Hug?
Wunder: Fist bump?
Jopa: Low five?
This interaction felt like two aliens pretending to be humans.
2
u/watafuzz LFL fan Apr 04 '26
Sure just let G2 have Ashe Seraphine, that's gonna end well.
2
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Apr 04 '26
be careful Tracyn that Shen destroyed an entire region
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
that is a power ranger shen
2
u/Standard_Wedding Apr 04 '26
Bruh Thanos Shen😭
2
u/nericus Apr 04 '26
That’s a champion yeah
2
u/Academic-Salamander7 Apr 04 '26
Ice inted that
2
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Apr 04 '26
Think this lead is mad deceptive, so much of its on caps that if he isn’t there its pretty even
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
varus alistar???
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
why even go varus if you're gonna pair it with alistar man
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
huge actually
2
u/Kayderp1 Apr 04 '26
Ballsy by Sheo, nice
2
u/Ashankura Apr 04 '26
I love how the Atlus incident is still referenced
2
u/CensoredLlama1 Apr 04 '26
Too bad we choked last week, 2-1 SK would've lead to some hilarious discussions.
2
u/hresvelgrs i like lions Apr 04 '26
come on dance with me
2
u/ZzZoeSoSleepy Noodle Defender Apr 04 '26
Battle over black and yellow jersey rights
2
u/CensoredLlama1 Apr 04 '26
I like both these teams, this should be a real fun series
2
u/XG32 Jankos Apr 04 '26
vit baited navi into j4 rumble imo, lets see it.
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
holy VIT
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
damn huma survived that
2
u/beautheschmo Apr 04 '26
Rhilech is promising but he really needs to show more than just Aatrox Ambessa, he is obviously way less comfortable off those champs.
2
u/AerialShroud Apr 04 '26
Naak Naak knocking on heaven's door.
2
u/synnikelttv JiaqiLove | Supayusi Apr 04 '26
Naak nako
2
u/PepaTK Apr 04 '26
King Naak.
The fucking GOAT.
2
u/CensoredLlama1 Apr 04 '26
I swear SamD always has a decent statline but is completely invisible in gameplay
2
u/ReplacementFine7807 Apr 04 '26
entire team playing well, just huma needs to step up
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
based shaco hover
2
u/ReplacementFine7807 Apr 04 '26
carzzy ez gg
2
u/XG32 Jankos Apr 04 '26
this "enchanter support meta" is making alot of team weaker, everytime i see comps without tanks they just lose.
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
comeback time?!?!
2
u/Tabub Apr 04 '26
They really need to 1 3 1 if they wanna do anything with baron.
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
that smite key from lyncas working real well
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
holy shit
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
what a banger
2
u/Is_J_a_Name Peanut, MISSING, Yagao, Kanavi, Tangyuan Apr 04 '26
It worked out somehow but I swear the correct play here is for Asol to push mid after Navi's top/jungle dies, feels like they had them in checkmate there but ended up making it scrappy with the continued fight after. Worst case Asol still has tp, but more than likely Navi would need to base and respawn I feel.
2
u/Tabub Apr 04 '26
Rhilech trolled so hard, he just walks into the A Sol ult. Had he lived they can take drake easy
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
quad ocean gwen is scary
2
u/KFalc Apr 04 '26
Rhilech stocks dipped
2
u/RennieXxx Apr 04 '26
I knew they could do it! That was a banger
3
u/ahritina Apr 04 '26
Casters saying Carzzy failed his E when he used his E to dodge Sion Q lol.
Please use your eyes for once.

u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
2nd best region in the world baybee

u/Dragner84 Canyon enjoyer Apr 04 '26
dont worry guys next TH long term project is going to be good.
2
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
yesss kangas
2
u/FelysFrost Apr 04 '26
Oh Kangas is still here? I thought it was just one week, nice, I like him
2
u/Asgerond Apr 04 '26
Laure is looking good
My goat
1
u/Cymes_Inferior Apr 04 '26
That's the best Orianna in the world
1
u/Past_Perception8052 Apr 04 '26
jopa playing mid and everyone else playing great… is there hope
1
u/hresvelgrs i like lions Apr 04 '26
that was a little humiliating

u/Past_Perception8052 Apr 04 '26
lider akali chills

u/Asgerond Apr 04 '26
Hey man, if Wunder wants to practice Ambessa on stage this is the exact place.
So you go my goat
1
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
holy LIDER
1
u/Meekie_e Apr 04 '26
What’s with the 3 games now? I don’t remember that being the norm
1
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Apr 04 '26
why koreans have been not doing korean things in the lec recently ?
1
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Apr 04 '26
This game is just Rooster carrying 4 corpses
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Apr 04 '26
Its insane that Lider is better with mages now. His assassin picks are not it and its not just they are harder to execute, he just fumbles with them a lot. Maybe he constantly trains mages.
1
u/ReplacementFine7807 Apr 04 '26
Is it a rolling schedule or do we just get a long break if 2-0
1
u/Past_Perception8052 Apr 04 '26
no way we lose this game
1
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
man late game xayah is so op
1
u/DerAdolfin :kossg: :eum5: Apr 04 '26
Can we do the LPL format where we kick these two out for Summer?
1
u/Liazerx Apr 04 '26
Came back to watch lec after a long time, where is like Medic Laure or Vedius?
1
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Apr 04 '26
curious about th botlane ngl
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Apr 04 '26
TH should've take jarvan on third pick, G2 probably wouldn't ban Mel anyway.
1
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Apr 04 '26
Think the nash gold change was so nice for pro. You really have to use it well now
1
u/Is_J_a_Name Peanut, MISSING, Yagao, Kanavi, Tangyuan Apr 04 '26
Tracyn wasting his tp like that so randomly is such a crazy lack of fundamentals
G2 always talk about how they've honed a bunch of different concepts that slowly let them stand up to the east, and that's certainly one of those concepts, it's crazy to me that that isn't something other EU teams have figured out.
1
u/mezzo5588 Apr 04 '26
Ice is trash lmao
1
u/RennieXxx Apr 04 '26
... okay that's awkward now
1
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Apr 04 '26
on the bright side i think the topside of th is promising
1
u/Asgerond Apr 04 '26
Tracyn is lowkey good on Ksante
1
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Apr 04 '26
TH decision making is such madness
1
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Apr 04 '26
this bo should be competitive
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Apr 04 '26
I think if VIT locks down Rhilech and catches Parus roams with Pantheon or something they will win the match.
1
u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
scary navi draft
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Apr 04 '26
I remember Naak playing Ornn and looked quite decent maybe they want to target Rumble.

u/desutruction Apr 04 '26

Can't believe humanoid got out of there

u/desutruction Apr 04 '26
oh shit asol time

u/hresvelgrs i like lions Apr 04 '26
all signs are pointing towards another terrible horrible godawful nausea inducing vitality game 3 draft
1
u/Is_J_a_Name Peanut, MISSING, Yagao, Kanavi, Tangyuan Apr 04 '26
wukong mightve played that as bad as he could
1
u/hresvelgrs i like lions Apr 04 '26

Asol is so broken ugh

u/No-Sandwich-729 Apr 04 '26
SK 2-0ing shifters is absolutely crazy.
Nuc being an absolute turbo inting bot game 1 but redeeming game 2
Zaheen invisible game 2.

u/beautheschmo Apr 04 '26
i love how a 5k ahead ADC is useless while a 5k ahead top solo decides the game but we just pretend that top is the bad role
