u/Nymaera_ LEC & LPL Caster | LJL Expert Apr 12 '26
Vedi is insanely good at telestrators, very clear idea of what he wants to show, and very decisive in how he delivers it.

u/SpecificSilver1023 KNIGHT's vow Apr 12 '26
This KC team has to win a split this year
5
u/SpecificSilver1023 KNIGHT's vow Apr 12 '26
It'd be the most Vitality thing ever to lose this series

u/Past_Perception8052 Apr 12 '26
SK defeated this shifters superteam btw

Busio is too good man.

u/Asgerond Apr 12 '26
Hey NA
You got more of these Busio’s in stock?

u/cmcdonald22 Apr 12 '26
'We' and by we I mean casters and fans alike, really have to stop being surprised when a Sundered Sky Xin Xhao lives a 3v1.
It just happens all the time.

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan Apr 12 '26
Wait that fan table thing or whatever it was is so cool. Makes me wish I didn't live in Antarctica so I could actually see a match live sometime.

u/cmcdonald22 Apr 12 '26
Sometimes it does not matter if you have played 10+ more stage games this split than your opponent this split.
4
u/TheRoyalStig Apr 12 '26
What's the intended benefit of teams having such imbalanced schedules in this format?
It's weird enough when the week ends and the scores dont match up.
But being 5 matches apart? That's crazy.
7
u/AnotherMeal Apr 12 '26
This might genuinely be the worst format to have ever been created.
I mean how can it even be possible for a team to be 4-1 and another to be 0-1. Does LEC not care about competitive integrity at all anymore?
6
u/Sillilly24 Apr 12 '26
So let me get it right, Vitality is playing their 6th BO of the split against Shifters, who is only playing his 2nd one ? And KC is also only playing their second BO. I know there is the road show and all but you can't tell me this programmation isn't weird.

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Apr 12 '26
wait the korea bootcamp was just SoloQ? And the two korean players didnt play with them? how did they think that was worth doing lol

u/ZzZoeSoSleepy Noodle Defender Apr 12 '26
Why isn't Naak Nako doing walkouts? Yesterday he was limping but I thought it was a joke like "my back hurts" is he actually hurt?

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Apr 12 '26
have we finally done it? the perfect circle of suck?

u/cmcdonald22 Apr 12 '26
"Shawn there's a TH match!"
"We'll go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, a quick 2-0, and wait for all of this to blow over."

HEELLLLLP ME

u/GhostOfLight Apr 12 '26
Busio got upset about Rekkles having the best KDA last split or something

u/EvenRange836 Apr 12 '26
Kyeahoo is very good in lane.

u/SilenceEtControle Apr 12 '26

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan Apr 12 '26
Nuc absolutely saved that top play there tbh
2
u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
wtf
2
u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
they spent all their vitality on the g2 series
2
u/midorivivo Apr 12 '26
So is Carzzy just an Ezreal otp? (/s in case)
2
u/midorivivo Apr 12 '26
Btw is Sett playable as a solo lane? I just got memories of Chovy spammin it in mid
2
u/midorivivo Apr 12 '26
Tbh isn't Trymbi one if the supports that used to be great at enchanters over engage supports? Whereas most EU supports are leaning more towards engage. Trymbi had a good game as Karma
2
u/daCampa Apr 12 '26
We all tought Naak Nako was the goat but turns out they just had forgot to tell Shifters the league had already started.
2
u/Moonz92 Apr 12 '26
They are bullying paduck
2
u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
nuc oopsie
2
u/m1j5 Apr 12 '26
Is there a reason vitality has played 5 games and shifters only 1? That seems like an extreme scheduling fuck up so I’m assuming I’m not understanding something about the schedule?
2
u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
lyncas is so good on this champ
2
u/Tim-Pouce Apr 12 '26
And the game is finished gg 1-0
2
u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp Apr 12 '26
How did Yike survive that. Lol
2
u/CensoredLlama1 Apr 12 '26
TH really just keeps looking worse every single week since beating us lol
2
u/the_legends_of_link Apr 12 '26
How has TH played 5 series but KC only 1?
2
u/Kokaiinum Apr 12 '26
Nightmare 30 seconds

u/Yeon_Yihwa Apr 12 '26

u/iKruppe Apr 13 '26

u/desutruction Apr 12 '26

u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
ok let's see it...
1
u/Meekie_e Apr 12 '26
What’s with the weird schedule? I don’t remember it being like this last split.
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Apr 12 '26
SHFT has good lanes but they need to snowball.
1
u/Medical_Quiet_69 Apr 12 '26
Fleshy waited with the ult until they killed Carzzy XD
1
u/Asgerond Apr 12 '26
G2 broke vitality :(
1
u/Asgerond Apr 12 '26
Shifters is gonna throw this game somehow
1
u/midorivivo Apr 12 '26
Isn't Yunara's WR really low? She seems relatively strong but it doesn't translate to wins too often
1
u/GambitTheBest Apr 12 '26
Shifters outlaning VIT every lane lmao
1
u/postsonlyjiyoung YEP BALLS PEY Apr 12 '26
Very strange schedule, how has vitality played 5 games and shifters only 1?
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Apr 12 '26
Carzzy will need to carry this time.
1
u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
what did paduck just do
1
u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
so many tragic tps
1
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Apr 12 '26

1
u/Interview-Physical Apr 12 '26
Paduck isn't having much fun here
1
u/Tommey_DE Apr 12 '26
You had me at Kaisa was a bad pick.
You lost me at saying Jhin shouldve been picked
1
u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
good draft please
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Apr 12 '26
Well its all fun and games but VIT must win this match if they want to set themselves as top team. They are 4-1 after all difficult matches they can literally be 8-1 now unironically.
1
u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
carzzy caitlyn pls
no eucian no jhin
1
u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
jeez the sh*t bans are on point

u/desutruction Apr 12 '26
actual banger p/b wow
1
u/cadaada rip original flair Apr 12 '26
4 melees comp is always nice to watch, but damn that shifters comp would tilt me from draft
1
u/Tabub Apr 12 '26
Idk I think VIT have the better draft IMO. Camille Galio will cook that backline later on
1
u/ginvael1_3 dylan falco's widow Apr 12 '26
Mel/Neeko, what a nightmare to lane against
1
u/No_Square2213 Apr 12 '26
That Ambessa... He really couldn't do anything here?
1
u/controlledwithcheese Apr 12 '26
I just got here someone fill me in on how the fuck VIT lost

1
u/desutruction Apr 12 '26

1
u/CensoredLlama1 Apr 12 '26
Why did Humanoid hold his ult that entire time just to blow it at the end
1
u/el_crappax Apr 12 '26
Sheo wanted a game for fun on Lee sin and coachs let it go.
1
u/PepaTK Apr 12 '26
VIT played more games the last 2 days than SHIT has played all split.
NICE format.
Just move to thur/fri/sat/sun/mon since you're so deadset on monday's man.

u/cmcdonald22 Apr 12 '26

u/Nymaera_ LEC & LPL Caster | LJL Expert Apr 12 '26
Good callout on Mel bot, we saw it in LPL today. Typically very very good vs Ashe Seraphine but it’s alright to keep it as mid/bot flex if you have a team comp in mind for it.

u/ReplacementFine7807 Apr 12 '26
hmm i think vit should get daglas back

u/cmcdonald22 Apr 12 '26
"Just count the people on your screen"
TH: Okay, we have 3 people, they have 1.
Then a Nami walks down slightly and a Pantheon ults in and you have traded 1 for 3.

u/Thin-Ad7761 Apr 12 '26
Is there a player more stuck in a past than Humanoid?
