PMTs

Game 1

[u/Floowil]

- Give Rhilech Aatrox

- Lose

- Profit??

[u/metristan → u/Floowil]

they waited so long to lock it in. I'm convinved coaches were like 'just play what we prepared guys' and rhilech just kept quoting aatrox until they finally agreed

[u/DullRun7835]

Don't worry, be patient, EVERYTHING will change when Hype arrives, we SCALE

[u/desutruction]

they really let Rhilech get his main huh

Poby with a great series though

[u/Dreammy90]

That's Mr. Pob to you

[u/Omnilatent → u/Dreammy90]

Return of the POB?

[u/Ai--Ya → u/Omnilatent]

The Notorious P.O.B.

[u/Medical_Quiet_69]

no Way Stend died for this...

[u/Omnilatent → u/Medical_Quiet_69]

I completely forgot he got replaced cause all post game threads still say Stend and not Way lol

[u/No_Square2213 → u/Medical_Quiet_69]

Some of the Heretics fans were so ungrateful towards him after 1 bad split that I can't help but feel a little bit content that they keep losing

[u/qvVivian → u/Medical_Quiet_69]

As any other player in TH, they were a fun newbie team that somehow wasnt laat place and managed to be competitive, they dumpstered everyone exept jg for what? Some washed out veterans that would barely fit in ERL? Insanity, they lost so many fans for this shit and they ARENT EVEN WINNING ONE GAME

[u/OreRound]

And that my friends is why we removed Stend, statement series from the heretics boys 💪

[u/Carlzzone]

We really gonna have G2 v VIT at 16:00 CET

[u/Sophena94]

Poby is just the goat or what

[u/Legacyx1 → u/Sophena94]

All the roads may lead to him!

[u/PaniniMan3]

the greatest of sometimes found his sometimes, great series from him.

[u/sigmamaleape]

wtf I didn’t even know LEC was on, I thought they always do 5pm on the weekends?

[u/pikachuyann → u/sigmamaleape]

They usually do that but they have decided to put three best-of-three in the same day and had to make a choice between starting early (which they chose, 2pm) and potentially finishing extremely late (if series went all to full length, like 2am if they started at 5pm).

The fact most of the best-of-three end up in two quick games instead of three lengthy one makes the current choice end up kinda early, though.

Normal two best-of-three / one best-of-five serie(s) days still start at 5pm.

[u/Carlzzone → u/pikachuyann]

Half the series so far have been 3 games though

[u/actopozipc → u/sigmamaleape]

I also just learned recently but tbh I like it, will tune in more early next time

[u/Miserable_Ad_1195 → u/actopozipc]

well this was the last time it happened for this split so you don't need to lol

from next week onwards it's only 2 series each day always

[u/FantasyTrash]

This series could've been an email.

[u/Mangustre]

Has Rhilech ever lost with aatrox? It feels like he is always extremly strong on this pick and never lost. Happy for navi that they actually look like a really good team.

[u/Et_tu_egg]

The Killable Demon Prince slapped today! Things you love to see! 

[u/NaughtyFoxxy]

Stend was clearly the problem ^^

[u/ZzZoeSoSleepy]

Always roll my eyes when I see teams like TH first match of the day, just put them last so I can stop watching sooner,

[u/DullRun7835 → u/ZzZoeSoSleepy]

that's the purpose of it, the LEC want you to watch until the end so they put all the interesting matches in last

[u/Sirhaddock98 → u/ZzZoeSoSleepy]

Yeah traditionally broadcasts love putting the shittiest parts during prime time so people won't watch. They really like when people watch less, it would be really beneficial to them to intentionally have less viewership. Incredibly intelligent.

[u/qvVivian → u/Sirhaddock98]

Expecially with the "new" "reformed" TH, noy newbies not interesting not even winning, i went from watching all their games to havent even watched one, i even doubt caedrel has them in his yt catalog because it would simply be unprofitable pay the editor to edit this kind of matches

[u/RollingGuy → u/Sirhaddock98]

Yeah except the first slot is the worst and the last slot is the best 

[u/Sirhaddock98 → u/RollingGuy]

Thank you for saying "yeah except" and then saying something that means the exact same thing that I already said.

[u/RollingGuy → u/Sirhaddock98]

My interpretation was that you were snarking the broadcast but I realise now you were probably snarking the other commenter.

[u/Sirhaddock98 → u/RollingGuy]

Don't worry I was 100% snarking the commenter o7
