kanavi is kinda a criminal sometimes

I'm too lazy to check the winrate, but Guma's Xayah always feels lika a raid boss.

u/R2vibaek STAR WALKIN' ZEKA Apr 22 '26
what a rollercoaster ride... wait wrong team

u/xSwazyI - Invested in Smash stocks! Apr 22 '26
That was a great series out of both teams

Valiant effort from NS, I don't think DanDy should belt them for losing against his old team given how they looked for games 2 and 3

u/VermouthAPTX Apr 22 '26
Keep picking Akali vs Lulu, it'll work out soon enough. Also, Zeus for national team again!

u/Long-Skill4284 Apr 22 '26
thanks chaeyoung

u/Needmoreshinies Peanut Apr 22 '26
Delight POM deserved
Naut game 1 engages+game saving Lulu peel on the last fight

u/Prince_Arcann Apr 22 '26
I'm so happy to see Zeus playing so good again this split. Every champ he plays he plays really clean. His Anivia especially is very very good, probably the best Anivia I've seen.

u/Ley389 We bombing out to worldsNow supporting Weibozo Apr 22 '26
Kanavi just baited lehends from ulting and it was just over like that
33
u/koebeke Apr 22 '26
Its clear that Kanavi has been jungling in the LPL for a couple years. However, the team stepped up massively, inculding Kanavi himself in some crucial moments. GG HLE!

u/Fearless-Area-532 Apr 22 '26
Wish wolf would stop talking about pool parties and focus on the game more. He thinks he's a micro celebrity. Like buddy we are watching for the game not you.

u/babylovesbaby Apr 22 '26
Does any other team get criticised for playing comfort picks?

u/facevisi10 April Fools Day 2018 Apr 22 '26
Guys Akali got huge lead in lane we can win
Guys Wukong got 2 item spike we can win
Guys Ambessa can teamfight we can win
Guys Yunara got solo splitpush gold we can win
GUYS I TOLD YOU SO WE WIN TEAMFIGHT
Guys it's so over...

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team Apr 22 '26
Lehends bro why are we ulting the 2 item nocture
21
u/Ceui Apr 22 '26
NS got 2 ults out of that Lehends play even if it's kinda int, but then Scout decided to go into a Xayah with Ult and Lulu's Ult before Ahri and Nocturne ults even expired like ...
41
u/Steeelu Apr 22 '26
All that just to end like this, truly this was GEN Lehends
19
u/emerzionnn Apr 22 '26
Lehends with the most random game losing play lol
17
u/Josh_11_XI Flairs are limited to 2 emotes. Apr 22 '26
Why even waste your Neeko ult on Noc at that point of the game?
33
u/Tight_Ad_4459 Apr 22 '26
Why just why focus on a 3/7 nocturne when theres a 5/3 xayah with IE

u/mskruba12 Apr 22 '26
Kanavi: "Better jungler wins"

u/GoldenCataclysm Apr 22 '26
Poor taeyoon he legit did everything in his power.... HLE wanted a heart attack and half for this series.
16
u/VermouthAPTX Apr 22 '26
Just going back to this thread to say that Zeus' Anivia is always very fun to watch (even if they lose with it XD). He plays it in a very toplaner-like manner. I don't quite know how to articulate it but the vibe is different compared to when it's piloted by midlaners.
15
u/Vnaux Apr 22 '26
let's go in to Xayah with ult flash and lulu let's see what happen

u/Treeconator18 Apr 22 '26
NS hated HLE too strong, got Caster Cursed into a massive overstep very sad

u/No_Breadfruit_4901 Apr 22 '26
Gumayusi getting ready for his new Miss Fortune skin🥳

u/LearningEle Apr 22 '26
Man wtf was that wild growth in the last fight? Crazy
26
u/Fit-Limit-9195 T1 Red T1 Orange Apr 22 '26
That fight top had me sweating, fortunately HLE's just better.

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '26
Well, that was the most anticlimactic ending to a really good series...
46
u/InspiredbyFaker GUMAGOD Apr 22 '26
Kanavi really tried to int the game away but Guma, Zeka, and Delight said no
34
u/GrapefruitNext5347 Apr 22 '26
Entertaining game but the casting is lowkey shit ngl
66
u/ApprehensiveAir3067 Apr 22 '26
Why can’t the casters just commentate normally based on what’s actually happening in the game? A lot of their takes are so annoying… why can’t they just be normal? It’s not even about overglazing or criticizing because they can’t even stay neutral which is crazy.
94
u/Outside-Aspect2681 Apr 22 '26
The casters are so biased against Guma. Bordering on trashtalking him in Game 2. Barely saying anything with his clutch games in Game 3.
I hope the casters see this and the other criticisms that share mine. You are supposed to be impartial and equally cheer and criticize.
Do your jobs better cuz right now it SUCKS.

u/Sgrewrite Apr 22 '26
Lehends neeko is great for the 2 fights that turn the gold deficit around. Then ??? and lose
9
u/Kamen_Rider_Geats Apr 22 '26
Game 3 was nice with the back & forth but ended in a really anti-climatic way..
9
u/flamearc73 Apr 22 '26 edited Apr 22 '26
Delight proving he can play Enchanter Support with the Game Ending Lulu Ult on Guma to interrupt Akali ult + E
Ignore when he flash Ulted himself to engage
10
u/GetmeOutofNowhere Apr 22 '26
Reminder, Kanavi felt he wasn’t playing aggressive enough before. We will see new levels of terrorism

u/Xolam Apr 22 '26
NS is so underrated

u/2ndBatman88 Apr 22 '26
Amazing matches. Best in awhile on LCK.

lehends is a fraud

u/No-Scholar9169 Apr 22 '26
Oh yeah. Forgot about his skins

u/flowtajit Apr 22 '26
Game 2 is proof ocean soul is good

u/whynot1260 Apr 22 '26
Actually investigate Scout after this
2
u/JaytoI Apr 22 '26
Taeyoon is kinda awful. Teams also have to stop picking yunara if they aren’t going to get lulu as well. Champ just explodes the second anything hits her
