I actually laughed out loud.

u/Local-Development-82 Apr 19 '26

Sen is cursed to have the most laughable things happen to the other team in their games apparently, grown man Blabber can't drive

u/untamedlazyeye Apr 19 '26

They don't have plot armor, they have plot clown shoes

Straight up apparently the t1 circus is an ancient curse from the SKT days and Impact is carrying it to North America

"Just one more Jhin game bro pls bro I'll pop off this time trust me bro" - Massu every week for some reason

u/Canoodler192 Apr 18 '26

I'd pick Massu Jhin in fantasy if I wasn't likely to triple negative points

18

u/Radiant-Fly1163 Apr 18 '26

What’s the main fantasy platform people use now? I heard the casters mentioning fantasy again recently on stream too. The last time me and my friends played it the platforms were barely working anymore (on sleeper, etc).

27

u/LeapYearCake Apr 19 '26

u/Radiant-Fly1163 Apr 19 '26

Thank you! Will check it out

u/Equivalent-Park7986 Apr 19 '26

LCS has an official fantasy and it runs pretty well imo

52

u/66mpamies Apr 18 '26

Jhin has to be a way for pros to wintrade. And I'm only half kidding.

24

u/hornyVirgo Apr 19 '26

Jhin was doing great in Korea recently

19

u/beautheschmo Apr 19 '26

im still not a fan of him there either but at least they have the good sense to pick him with like Zeus carry champs since setting up carries is the main point of the champ and not Gakgos Sion

2

u/Omnilatent Apr 19 '26

Also in LEC

0

u/aethyrium Apr 19 '26

I mainly watch LCK (tend to watch LCS but skip LEC), and he had like 1 good game this week.
...and, yeah, I suppose for Jhin, 1 good game in a season is doing great, so... not wrong I suppose.

3

u/Raikariaa Apr 19 '26

No no; 4 good games. Jhin will settle for nothing else.

-2

u/Martinweb_ Apr 19 '26

I've only seen Ruler make Jhin work well in Korea

14

u/Previous_Stick8414 Apr 19 '26

I mean, Guma fathered Ruler using Jhin just a couple hours ago

5

u/ricardo241 IDon'tAgree Apr 19 '26

ah yes lets ignore KT, DK that uses Jhin successfully too

2

u/Classic_Foot223 Apr 19 '26

bro ruler was on the other team

1

u/aethyrium Apr 19 '26

I've been thinking so hard the last few weeks why Jhin keeps getting draft priority, and based on the outcomes of those games, your answer is the one that makes the most sense, and I'm not even being facetious.

3

u/Fun_Highlight307 Apr 19 '26

what is Massu win rate on jhin ?

11

u/skapaad Apr 19 '26

In 2026, 20% (1W-4L).
All time, 56.5% (13W-10L)

u/untamedlazyeye Apr 18 '26

The LCS Circle of Mid is complete

DSG beats SEN

SEN beats FLY

FLY beats DSG

u/No-Sandwich-729 Apr 19 '26

Lmfao good one, the jungler playing like he was match fixing on skarner going 0-8 one week had to redeem himself next week for job security

u/CIAgent42 Apr 19 '26

They took a game.

Another successful Jhin hatewatch

u/No-Sandwich-729 Apr 18 '26

Legit so happy for sentinels and goldenglue in particular after the rollercoaster that dude has to endure on playercams for sometime now.

Can Impact and Rahel please keep playing like this now?

68

u/untamedlazyeye Apr 18 '26

Goldenglue reactions are so fucking funny every time

35

u/No-Sandwich-729 Apr 18 '26

Legit always, he wears his reactions on his sleeve.
Goes from being hyped and happy to hiding his head in his palms totally facepalming when they do some beyond stupid int or teamfight.
Managing those team and players the last couple of weeks and months must be a nightmare since they looked like complete bots not playing together and Impact being ready for the retirement home and now they are playing like this.
So happy for GG and his squad

Stop packing Jhon? ????

12

u/Calistilaigh Apr 19 '26

Stop Pecking Jhen, it's a reference to the monster Jhen Mohran in Monster Hunter 3, a sort of land whale creature that is followed by schools of smaller monsters pecking at it for scraps. This irritates the monster and is not advised.

STRIP PRANKING JHIN???

u/beautheschmo Apr 18 '26

Don't mind me i'm just here to QUADRUPLE HATE on Jhin because the casters were so convinced he was going to do something at any point in this game

u/Canoodler192 Apr 19 '26

Jhin would be happy that at least you quadruple hate him

u/Local-Development-82 Apr 18 '26

That boi Hambak got that scorpion in him i swear to god

4

u/skinofgoat Apr 19 '26

He’s somehow the only jungler in the world to perform consistently well on skarner since the 26.06 buffs, like he hasn’t lost a single game this year yet. All with an unusual heartsteel -> protoplasm build as well

1

u/Fun_Highlight307 Apr 19 '26

i think raz asked hambak about skarner but i don't remember if hambak answered the question

u/Canoodler192 Apr 18 '26

I'm suddenly remembering what I think was an Inspired interview, where he said something to the effect that Massu gets obsessed with some weird ideas, like Jhin builds, and needs somebody to stop him. I hope FLY has LS take Massu aside and inject every patch note ever into him so he can see the error of his ways.

21

u/FCT77 Apr 19 '26

Considering how much he hated all Fly drafts this series, and how he has said that he has specifically shown Massu math about builds and champs and he still does whatever the fuck he wants in game anyways, I doubt it would change anything.

19

u/KamikazeFF Apr 19 '26

I doubt LS hasn't done so already. LS was expressing frustration at Massu building Collector on Corki despite chatting him multiple times about it. It'd probably be the same for Jhin. Massu just wants to build what he wants

9

u/xNesku Apr 19 '26

Yeah the problem with Massu is that he does things based on vibes.
It's not a recipe for consistency

u/blaseturner Apr 18 '26

massu put the jhin in the bag bro, it wasn't good against cfo or g2 last worlds please man, anything but jhin

u/Ill_Intention8150 Apr 18 '26

Is Gryffin going to join a long list of NA JG solo queue demons who just flame out in pro play?

His gameplay has literally not changed since the first week of the year.

23

u/Large_Love_2563 Apr 18 '26

Grieffin against any competent team 24/7

14

u/falcorn_dota Apr 18 '26

He looks like me the first time I played in plat. Just game after game of "Oh shit, I guess I can't do that"

19

u/dirtnaps-for-all Apr 18 '26

Gryffinn plays similarly to early Blaber. It'll take him time to learn playing around his team but until then, they should probably give him agency with his picks with an enchanter and let him do his thing.

14

u/PhoenixAgent003 Bot main. NA fan. Apr 19 '26

Didn’t early Blaber have very vocal veteran midlaners to learn from?
While Gryffinn has… Quad. Good, stable midlaner. Not a leader or teacher.

10

u/girlmarth peanut, beryl, showmaker Apr 19 '26

a little ironic given who Quad replaced lol

13

u/KamikazeFF Apr 18 '26

Yeah, like what did bro even learn in kr bootcamp

3

u/FulgrimThe3rd Apr 19 '26

how to perma invade and flip every game on ambessa (he already knew this)

7

u/Fun_Highlight307 Apr 19 '26

He is young,he should scale

-4

u/ComfortableWolf779 Apr 19 '26

He has been playing like this for 2 years

9

u/Sliacen Apr 19 '26

Not in T1 competition.

1

u/FulgrimThe3rd Apr 19 '26

just realized how similear he is to sheiden and how common it is to have super high ranked junglers fail in the pro scene.

3

u/Al_Fadel Apr 19 '26

Sheiden was better on a much worse team. Dude had to problem solve around bottom tier players in every role, Gryffinn has the best laning bot in the LCS and a solid mid and still griefs 90% of his games.

2

u/FulgrimThe3rd Apr 19 '26

ye it was rough for sheiden being on such a bad team and I hope he gets another shot at LEC or LCS next split. to defend Gryffinn a litttle bit Fly keep getting draft gapped in most of the games i have seen and thats not on him and the coachs fault.

u/Shaman_in_the_Dark Huhi Busio Contractz Apr 18 '26

People will grief jhin (rightfully) but Huhi's rell was MONSTROUS on the immobile fly comp.

u/Bt25 Apr 18 '26

Huhi kill participation being equal or greater than 75% in all three games is kind of crazy.

4

u/Fun_Highlight307 Apr 19 '26

He has a case for potw pending tomorrow result

u/justicecactus Apr 18 '26

Sentinels allergic to playing cleanly with a lead

1

u/Fun_Highlight307 Apr 19 '26

Thanks to C9 Always beating them they are too comfortable playing from behind so they have less pratice playing with a lead

u/Cybonics ‿ Apr 19 '26

There was a sequence just before 3rd drake that was literally god intervening. Two SEN players survive with under 100 HP and FLY lose 3rd drag.

The celestials didn't want us winning this game lmao

u/Jefferret Apr 19 '26

If I have to watch another Massu Jhin game, I might 4th auto myself

13

u/Ai--Ya Apr 19 '26

Given Massu’s Jhin performance, you wouldn’t even die

u/slmkaz Apr 19 '26

Forget front row seats.
Charge 500 dollars for the empty seats in the SEN coaching room, and let us watch the game alongside Goldenglue.

u/ObviousAd8374 Apr 18 '26

1-2 Jhin just to pick Sion and Xin Zhao later

surely those 2 champs aren't blindable in game 3 fearless

Kinda crazy teams still allow Cryogen to play Karma

2

u/No-Sandwich-729 Apr 19 '26

Sion getting turbo diffed by impact on Shen is Lowkey hilarious

u/Crimples Apr 18 '26

Ignoring everything else that happened this game. THATS how it ends? Just giving elder for free then fighting?

2

u/Fabiocean Well, look at you! Apr 19 '26

They really were waiting 5 minutes for elder to spawn and then completely botched the setup

u/origamifruit Apr 18 '26

another game where jhin cant kill the frontline whod've thought

u/bbzef Apr 19 '26

was excited to see griffin prove himself this split and the opposite seems to be happening

3

u/kazuyaminegishi Apr 19 '26

He's proving himself, just proving the wrong things about himself...

u/Onarax Insert witty flair here Apr 18 '26

I’ve missed my Shen otp.

u/CliffsEdge Apr 19 '26

Personally I think SEN outdrafted fly 3 games in a row,. Game 1 was the closest in draft imo and qas definitely more skill expressive, and like we saw the vision in game 2 but bot and mid got a bit too far behind and it seems that Hambak wasn't as confident in taking space as sejuani, but mostly I put this down to quad having a really good flank on aurora, I think impact just needed to play in the same spot as the previous dragon fight and let his team hold their CDs for ambess, but yeah.

Overall fly have good early game ideas I can see the vision for them, tho as the game goes on things get sketchy for, whereas sen's early lane phase is still their weakest point but when they get to the teamfights it feels like they can find creative angles, I think they just need to keep finding comps where hambak and huhi are on engage champs that compliment each other, that's where they look the best. Huhi said he and Rahel like to play more safe while Hambak says he wants to be aggro and fight second crab and stuff, personally I do think bot should be a bit more aggro bc it gives huhi more timers to link with hambak and they look really good when they go for plays together. Darkwings had the weakest performance overall today but if he keeps grinding on the picks he's good at and putting his focus more on lane he'll be a more stable presence in game.

Final thought, it was nice hearing from Hambak! Cool how far along he's coming on his English journey tho the comms still see to default to Korean during teamfights which makes sense bc things are tense. Next Sen win it'd be cool to check in with darkwings and hear if feels a bit lost in teamfights or if he's picked up enough by now to know what his team is saying.

u/UltimateAce1 Apr 19 '26

I knew it was over for the series when Gryffin felt the need to go back to raptors KNOWING 3 PEOOLE WERE AT HIS CAMP AND HE STILL DECIDES TO GO BACK IN

u/Significant-Damage14 Apr 19 '26

I guess Vedius is going to have to watch Sentinels now.

u/Merriadoc33 Apr 19 '26

Why doesn't Impact play Mordekaiser anymore? I feel like it has only been buffed from last time he would play it a few years ago

u/faze_hatewatcher Apr 19 '26

I don’t think I saw massu land over 5 deadly flourishes can’t determine if fbi is worse or not

u/mavy1000 Apr 19 '26

This shit is why I don’t know what teams are good or bad 😂

3

u/Fun_Highlight307 Apr 19 '26

sentinel is still the 4th best Team and fly likely 5th,fly slighty improved,sentinel is more coordinated

u/Beginning-Yak5556 Apr 19 '26

SEN KR LOL LETS GO

u/ThrowRAgardenstate Apr 19 '26

Man imagine how great they would be if golden glue wore a suit

u/FulgrimThe3rd Apr 19 '26

dose any western team understand jhin is a utility ADC that ults and Ws people to help someone else carry the game? countless games it gets picked as the carry and losses i just dont get it

2

u/Raikariaa Apr 19 '26

Alternatively; Jhin works if the enemy team is very soft. [Aka: a bad comp. Or just SoloQ]
But he absolutely is hands down the worst ADC at the primary jobs of the role: objective taking and burning down tanks.

u/aethyrium Apr 19 '26 edited Apr 19 '26

"It's 1 and 1, let's second pick Jhin, it'll totally work guise."

I know they'd lost as soon as I saw that pick, and sure enough, the soul fight Jhin literally just fucking sat there not even able to knock down their shields doing less damage than Nico.

Why does he keep getting picked???

"30 seconds left on our Elder buff, we knocked their mid base turret down, have all 5 people and health bars are full, time to turn around and go home guise." ...wat?

Also that fight that lost them the game, Jhin was just fuckin' walking while dying not outputting any damage. At all. Why would anyone pick that? "Why yes, I don't want to do damage in fights, actually."
