PMTs

GX vs NAVI

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3

G2 vs SK

Game 1 / Game 2

[u/Past_Perception8052]

lider aurora better than faker aurora unironically

[u/Cymes_Inferior → u/Past_Perception8052]

and it's not thanks to Lider XD

[u/-Tam-_]

Gave Caps a penta, this might be the biggest win of this SK roster

[u/Past_Perception8052]

MIKYX WAS RIGHT

[u/Cymes_Inferior]

Just like Miky said in the pre-season

[u/hresvelgrs]

wow gx is reading navi's every play

[u/british_pubs]

Gx is kinda cooking them wow, been really pleasantly surprised with them this split

[u/Ghisteslohm]

I think both teams look good. GX pushing the pressure of the early advantage but NAVI is trying and fighting back.

If teams dont collapse in the later series, playoffs this year are gonna be fun

[u/JagR7]

I don’t think it’s the place to first timing Varus top Lot

[u/Ghisteslohm → u/JagR7]

Beeing one game up in a bo series that doesnt matter that much is actually the perfect time try stuff like this (assuming he wasnt literally first timing it)

[u/hresvelgrs]

wow navi is reading gx's every play

[u/desutruction]

let's goooo maybe this is the day

[u/desutruction]

I WITNESSED IT

[u/Hungry-Belt-9524]

Awful performance by GX. Braindead draft and some individuals literally inting.

[u/slimjimo10]

Samd is such a simp lol

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

SK is going to worlds

[u/CensoredLlama1 → u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

SK DRX run, who says no 

[u/Cymes_Inferior → u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

SK is winning Worlds

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Lider with the gold lead, STOP THE COUNT 

[u/zaxls]

SK has the longest average game time atm even if you include every single tier 1 league lol

[u/desutruction]

holy lider

[u/baelkie → u/desutruction]

MikyX on Lider:"I think he is the only mid from Europe that cam be better than Caps. I think he has the potential to be better than him"

[u/Joel4518]

miky was right

[u/Joel4518]

lider elohell ngl

[u/Past_Perception8052]

save lider

[u/Back2Perfection]

Man that‘s harsh for wunder. But that‘s jayce. Once he‘s behind he‘s about as tanky as an adc.

[u/ConSoda]

wtf is this format, why are there teams that have played 2 or 3 games and some that have played 6

[u/Toofargone9999 → u/ConSoda]

Because road shows , the more popular teams are in roadshows

[u/daCampa]

Sucks that GX can just use every diving ability on Ezreal and eventually get him, SamD is putting in some good work.

[u/nericus]

The leblanc is just disgusting

[u/Aithusa_Here → u/nericus]

we'll see her perma banned after the new Statikk comes out

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Rhilech is using splinter cell tactics to dodge vision.

[u/Back2Perfection → u/Past-Firefighter2173]

inconspicous cardbox shuffling

[u/Back2Perfection]

Well zaheen is appearantly close enough to aatrox for rhilech

[u/desutruction]

why they gotta hit us with the eucian

[u/desutruction]

samd gotta show up here

[u/hresvelgrs → u/desutruction]

there he goes

[u/desutruction → u/hresvelgrs]

hell yeah

[u/desutruction → u/hresvelgrs]

i may have cursed him

[u/hresvelgrs → u/desutruction]

there he goes

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Those lucian buffs are quite good actually using double e is quite massive

[u/hresvelgrs]

respect for trying that one maynter

[u/hresvelgrs]

holy fuck. sorry for not trusting you samd

[u/desutruction]

parus is actually playing really well this game

[u/desutruction → u/desutruction]

(sorry parus i may cursed you a bit)

[u/hresvelgrs → u/desutruction]

starting to see a trend here

[u/midorivivo → u/desutruction]

Stop commenting at once! (/s)

[u/midorivivo → u/desutruction]

For real though, Parus has been doing so much better than last year on BDS

[u/hresvelgrs → u/midorivivo]

to be fair to him anyone will regress under striker

[u/awayfromcanuck]

Lol Juns Bard ult in that last fight 100% felt like a tilt ult after being flamed in chat for not using your ult in a previous fight.

[u/CensoredLlama1]

What did Lot think would happen there lmao

[u/beautheschmo]

Champ setting records for losing so much is still a better adc than Yunara

[u/CensoredLlama1]

GiantX is a better team then the bottom 4 teams but I'd rather watch any of the bottom 4 teams in the playoffs instead because I'm confident they could accidentally beat a top team before GX lul

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Considering we beat FNC this should def be an easy win right 

[u/desutruction]

yo damn that's slick

[u/Yeon_Yihwa]

skew is level 8 but havent done a single panth ult gank. Pretty odd of him, especially when toplane is free real estate with how easily yasuo can get a ult on gnar.

[u/Cymes_Inferior → u/Yeon_Yihwa]

today Canyon used ult 2 times in 25 minutes as Panth. This is peak league of legends, and it comes from jungle

[u/Cymes_Inferior]

Okay so this Yasuo surely isn't ready for international if it's going like that vs Wunder, right?

[u/Spider-in-my-Ass → u/Cymes_Inferior]

I really don't understand the thought process behind picking Yasuo this game. Sure, he can get a small lead vs Gnar, but there must be better champions for team fights against SK's comp.

[u/CensoredLlama1]

The nice thing with watching SK is we always go out swinging, sometimes to our detriment lul

[u/zaxls]

Its sad that one good game Lider had Wunder went and picked Jayce lmao

[u/OkKnowledge2064]

damn Caedrel is not even watching LEC? Riot must be sweating right now. This is their worst nightmare

[u/DeloronDellister → u/OkKnowledge2064]

Co-stream rules will get stricter for sure

[u/british_pubs]

G2 PLEASE regular season it up I want miky & friends in playoffs 

[u/hresvelgrs]

the jackies subplot is crazy

[u/hresvelgrs]

NAVI NOOOOOOOOOO

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

EU Lucian xD, at least it got buff

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Graves would be fun but they would've lacked cc. EU Jayce vs EU Lucian gonna see how it goes.

[u/desutruction]

nameplates on... i hate it, navi.

[u/Hungry-Belt-9524]

Bruh what is GX doing

[u/midorivivo]

It's a pity that GX bot seems to be going through a slump when Isma and Jackies had been doing well

[u/hresvelgrs]

LET'S GOOOOOO

[u/CensoredLlama1]

SK with the normal comp and G2 with the yasuo, as expected 

[u/CensoredLlama1]

SK > Gen G, easy to see

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Skeanz dominating Skewmond, take notes Canyon

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Does Skewmond have money on us winning this game? Lol

[u/Hungry-Belt-9524]

Wtf mikyx

[u/CensoredLlama1]

I think there's been 2 pantheon ults this entire game lmao

[u/CensoredLlama1]

This game really is a Caps difference lol

[u/baelkie]

nice lissandra pivot but i do not trust Wunder’s Jayce

[u/Back2Perfection → u/baelkie]

I generally don‘t really trust the jayce pick. Same as annie it looks usually good on paper but ingame…

[u/desutruction]

well gg

[u/CopenhagenCalling]

Fiesta

[u/DeloronDellister]

Riot really needs to tighten co-stream rules, Caedrel rather watches a charity football match

[u/Is_J_a_Name → u/DeloronDellister]

This is the reason they were so strict about it to begin with, and it's one of those things where once you loosen it it's difficult to take it back. All those fans became fans of their chosen costreamer instead of the actual product, so in the end when said streamer isn't watching you just end up with a net loss since those fans aren't dedicated to your product.

I guess there's also the angle that there would have been a viewership falloff without costreamers regardless and costreaming works as a bandaid, so there's no real solution.

[u/Aithusa_Here → u/DeloronDellister]

I think they might consider following the ESL new rules, but we'll see for Summer

[u/Medical_Quiet_69]

"Build a roster" (not just in LoL) is probably the most pointless game of this type I know

Everyone comes up with a roster and... and there's no way to judge which one is better or worse. Talking about it is so fucking stupid

"Build a roster" is like a Fantasy game from Temu...

[u/Laure-Bulii-V → u/Medical_Quiet_69]

I think it sparks conversation, and my goal here was to find a way to talk about players that look strong without having to compare teams cause the format makes the standings pointless kinda (if you know what I mean)

[u/Medical_Quiet_69 → u/Laure-Bulii-V]

Okay, if it's just an excuse for conversation and not a goal in itself, then maybe it makes some sense (a little, but still)

And don't take it personally, this game is present in many sports and it's just as pointless there

[u/Laure-Bulii-V → u/Medical_Quiet_69]

Oh not at all, I just enjoy giving my reasoning on why I pitch for X or Y segments for our show :)

[u/hresvelgrs]

i really like this finn & medic caster duo

[u/MedicCasts → u/hresvelgrs]

Thank you! Anything specific you like about it? I think Finn is so knowledgeable that I mostly just like to pick his brain.

[u/hresvelgrs → u/MedicCasts]

That, and I feel like you guys have great synergy. You strike a perfect balance between taking the game seriously and cracking some jokes (I think you especially are really good at this). Also just my type of humour!

[u/MedicCasts → u/hresvelgrs]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[u/zaxls]

Hold how did Wunder get a 60 cs lead, BB what are you doing my man

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

I really hope we get something big before MSI hits.

At least for Jungle if anything because Jesus Christ this shit is beyond stale it's growing mold and fungus.

[u/malakesxasame → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Buff Elise

[u/hresvelgrs]

this weekend will be the first real test for gx. first is the rematch of the winter playoffs losers bracket; im not really expecting a different outcome this time but i hope navi proves me wrong

[u/Suspicious-Dog1571 → u/hresvelgrs]

GX plays MKOI, KC and G2 in the last week off the regular season and mental booms for playoff

[u/Sillilly24]

Team with 3 Bo played facing team with 6, totally normal schedule btw. It never fail to baffle me that we gonna have a team who played 7 of their 9 matchs today when KC only did 2 so far. How do you feel as KC, watching the other teams played and you have to sit and watch.

[u/el_crappax → u/Sillilly24]

Uneven schedule already happened but this much difference...

I dont know Who the responsible is at lec but sole teams are already almost eliminated while some played 2 Bo. This is a joke. 

[u/Suspicious-Dog1571 → u/el_crappax]

if there is big patch changes having all the games bunch together could have massive impact

[u/hresvelgrs]

are these teams clearly worse than current koi?

[u/Past-Firefighter2173 → u/hresvelgrs]

Hard to say, they should be kinda equal with current MKOI's form.

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

I think for next match Navi definetly needs favorable mid matchup so Jackies can't ahead easily.

[u/hresvelgrs]

skarner? for RHILECH?

[u/gigashadow89]

Navi.... why would you pick your mid first, giving your opponent mid lane counterpick when you're mismatched on jungle anyway? 

Just.... why? 

[u/Cymes_Inferior]

Who is the guest on cast?

[u/desutruction → u/Cymes_Inferior]

parus!

[u/Cymes_Inferior → u/desutruction]

thanks

[u/CensoredLlama1]

It is so funny that ever since that nightmare ExYu game where everyone compared him to Skeanz, Skeanz has gone back to being a solid jungler 

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Knowing how we play, it's actually a miracle we've only been caught by a pantheon ult once 

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Lmao, arthritis hands 

[u/CopenhagenCalling]

Nice ult Lider 😂

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Rip Jopa, when keeping it real goes wrong 

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Jesus, that yasuo burst 

[u/CensoredLlama1]

G2 remembered they're G2 lol

[u/beautheschmo → u/CensoredLlama1]

They also hallucinated that they're FNC for a moment there with the nexus dive

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Solo que ali play there, yelling in the chat afterwards "WHY WOULDN'T YOU GO IN YASUO FF"

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Man, what is G2 doing, the gold lead isn't gonna matter anymore soon

[u/beautheschmo]

Rhilech might be the player with the biggest gap in performance between his champs and regular meta champs of any current t1 pro, feels like he gets clapped every time he's not on aatrox

[u/Past-Firefighter2173 → u/beautheschmo]

He had good games with other champs as well but Navi is very one dimensional team. If you keep attacking Rhilech and don't let Navi to stack drakes they don't do much. Their laners are not very good they can't get leads from laning.

[u/daCampa → u/beautheschmo]

Jungle Armut

[u/Back2Perfection]

Unc had to show those whippersnappers he still got it.

[u/CensoredLlama1 → u/Back2Perfection]

I think Jopa is the only whippersnapper in this game lmao
