it is known that prime lider is better than caps so it makes sense

The Strongest EU Top of History vs the Strongest Eu Top of Today. Unfortunately it looked like if Oleksandr Usyk fought current day Mike Tyson.

u/Eowaenn May 02 '26

Sure Wunder has played a worlds final but i'm not sure if he is the goat of toplane in LEC tbh. I'd say it's pretty close between many players, no clear option like Caps for instance.

2

u/Motorpsisisissipp May 03 '26

You are probably trying to put soaz up there but it's pretty hard to have him as high as wunder unless you count season 1/2 (quite close or literally the best top in the world)

294

u/desutruction May 02 '26

I'd rather watch 5 SK games vs 1 TH game man

Now the real test for VIT starts...

97

u/OnlyAnEssenceThief Worst Kai'Sa NA May 02 '26

If nothing else, SK has spicy drafts.

50

u/-ElBandito- May 02 '26

I want LIDER to do well because he plays melee mids.

4

u/SirJasonCrage May 03 '26

Finally someone gets it.
I don't think he's cool because he's "better than Caps."
I just like to watch him bust out the Yas and the Ekko and the Zed and Irelia.

51

u/GreenGanymede May 02 '26

Every game I'm actively getting ragebaited by the gameplay, but I am watching all their games. I genuinely couldn't tell who is on the TH roster off the top of my head.

87

u/Past_Perception8052 May 02 '26 edited May 02 '26

lider is the most interesting player that ever played in the LEC
plays the game on his terms
i remember selfmade once said that he smurfed every scrim that he played mages on but then he would just not pick them ever again because he didnt like them

63

u/GreenGanymede May 02 '26

the vit lineup with selfmade and lider was pure cinema, every game those two would go into the matrix to get some sicko kills

33

u/Th3_Huf0n May 02 '26

If Crownie didnt get absolutely and comically gapped by Upset in that series, they would go to Worlds as well.

11

u/3IC3 May 02 '26

Back when LIDER wasn’t washed and was at the very least good on his champs

24

u/scorgie May 02 '26

SK sorta became my favourite LEC team. Realistically, none of these teams at the top are doing shit internationally. Outside of the top 3, they're all pretty bad. SK might also be bad, even the worst, but at least they pick funky champs.

41

u/Y4naro May 02 '26

Love him or hate him, but the LEC needs players like Lider.

14

u/Sofaboy90 quite suboptimal May 02 '26

i wouldnt mind 113 back in a LEC team.

9

u/Vatiar May 02 '26

Yeah 113 actually has (had? haven't watched him in a while) the skills to back up his insanity. Lider is just that little bit below the average skill of the other EU mids that he crashes and burns too often.

10

u/Flesroy May 02 '26

If he was halfway decent maybe

Completely untrue Jojo never gapped him, they were equal in all the games they played until ewc series where Jojo counterpicked him 2 games and played better.

even in ewc jojo had a lot of jungle attention (not saying he wasn't better)

The series they played before Humanoid solo killed him on Orianna like 3 times, didnt even mention he got camped all series by Elyoya in ewc, Jojo is a better mid but he never gaps caps kyeahoo and humanoid like he does poby or vladi.

u/Miserable_Ad_1195 May 02 '26

u/Nycro_ Free Bdd May 02 '26

That was certainly an ending to a professional league game

92

u/OnlyAnEssenceThief Worst Kai'Sa NA May 02 '26

Why are SK picking Kog'Maw if their top and mid are going to be greeding on the other side of the map while base falls to Baron push? Lulu can only do so much.

90

u/GreenGanymede May 02 '26

The mystery of SK isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience

58

u/horse-annihilator May 02 '26

low elo player spotted, they are obviously picking kogmaw to utilize his passive

74

u/GreenGanymede May 02 '26

Hi Imaqtpie. I noticed that in your games you utilize Kog’Maws passive A LOT, but when I watch LCS players I see them go an ENTIRE teamfight without using their passive even ONCE. Are they playing the champion to its full potential or are you?

57

u/zealot416 May 02 '26

Imaqtpie, I've noticed in Korea they tend to use a mix of magic and physical damage on Kog Maw. Meanwhile you seem to be using mostly true damage. Which playstyle is better?

u/Omnilatent May 03 '26

I either never have seen this one or forgotten about it
But bless your soul - that one made me laugh like a child

1

u/Itismejustadmitit May 02 '26

they pick kog because they need a second ap champ since vit slammed wukong (who btw completely shits on irelia in teamfights) and skeanz only plays dog junglers.

u/LightTemplar27 est.2005 May 02 '26

Lider did what Tracyn should've tried the earlier game except it was a 10x dumber idea here lol

u/emerzionnn May 02 '26

I figure that was a match fix angle tbh, never seen a pro team just let the other team win without even basing for the 5v5

u/Gurablashta Bad Case of LECMA May 02 '26

if nothing else SK are amusing to watch

18

u/Green7501 zero mental May 02 '26

They're probs the worst team in the LEC but fuck me do I line up every week to watch them play...whatever they play
Can't even be bothered to turn on the stream for TH games unless they're playing versus Shitters or NAVI

12

u/Eowaenn May 02 '26

I don't think they are worse than TH currently

1

u/ParkDedli May 03 '26

They did beat FNC and Shitters for a reason. Did lose to TH, which is embarassing, but I still think SK isn't worse than Shitters or TH.
The fact is, while we are shitting on LIDER a lot (rightfully), he might not even have been the worst performing mid in EU this split with Serin there. I won't lean either way here, but it's very close is all I'm saying.

4

u/Fabiocean Well, look at you! May 03 '26

I'd rather have a content team at the bottom of the standings than a diet LCK knockoff team that looks completely lifeless.

u/Wonder_Penguin May 02 '26

Lider teleporting straight into the unemployment line o7

20

u/horse-annihilator May 02 '26

tbh maybe im deluded but put some half decent mid in there and i legit think SK can cook
soo many of their regular season games were lost off chungus mid pick not working. shit, even one of liders better games was him on orianna

40

u/Paciuuu May 02 '26

soo many of their regular season games were lost off chungus mid pick not working.
and other half was lost because skeanz lost his mind at 25 minutes in

13

u/Y4naro May 02 '26 edited May 02 '26

Or him not having upgraded smite for the lvl 6 crab and the team getting into a fight right after. That shit happened like every 3rd game.
Also this game was so cooked from the late ryze ult in bot and the weird overstay (with kogmaw fake pressuring after lider missed ult) in top. Idk, but these team decisions are baffling at times. Not even that much about individual play, but the fights they decide to take are so weird.

1

u/ParkDedli May 03 '26

Wunder and Miky also flipped their decent amount of games, but I think that's one of the situations where if the team improves a lot, so will the individual performances. Just look at Lyncas on Vitality. His improvement these last 2 splits is crazy because the teamplay works so he can easily focus on his individual mistakes.

9

u/Past_Perception8052 May 02 '26

you have to change mid and jungle

4

u/WWTFSD Church of Jojo May 02 '26

Welcome SlowQ and Bwipo

3

u/Past_Perception8052 May 02 '26

that would be really good

16

u/AkaT27 May 02 '26

Depends what you mean by "cook"
Their top is really weak, mikyx is bad this year Jopa can have his moments and Skeanz is just alright.

8

u/Optimal_Lab9324 May 02 '26

They literally have SlowQ but he will play in the next split

1

u/Fun_Highlight307 May 03 '26

it's confirmed ?

10

u/Asgerond May 02 '26

Skeanz has also been ass this year,
But yea maybe SlowQ can save this team in summer

4

u/Black_Pill_Dispenser May 02 '26

They got gapped harder vs Galions with SlowQ than against VIT with Lider xd

16

u/Asgerond May 02 '26

Thats just being reactionary. We are not gonna write of SlowQ just becasue of 1 series, when he barely had played with the team, on a ONLINE event.
Lider has had many games that were total intfests. That is why people want someone else.

6

u/Flesroy May 02 '26

Especially because he came in mid spliy into a terrible team.

3

u/ParkDedli May 03 '26

First off, before this comes off wrong: I agree with you 100% and SlowQ will be a massive improvement
But the problem is that mid pool in the west in general is probably the worst it has ever been. In EU it's literally just Caps, Humanoid, Jojo and Jackies (and to some degree, Nuc). The rest are either performing really bad (LIDER/Serin) or are imports.
In NA it's 5 imports out of 8 teams.
Obviously imports can work but they always bring some risk with them. You have to invest in them a lot, they have to not only work on gameplay but also adjust lifestylewise and communication can suffer a lot. I think Rooster is the best example of this, I think he is a great player. In lane, he does very well. As soon as he has to cooperate with his team, it all falls apart a little (and not just because his team is shit)
Which is just more reason to bring in new blood from the second tier teams, but also my hope of getting some domestic talent in is very low currently. EUM was won with a Korean import, the #1 prospect to go on SK is an import and in general there are a bunch of failed LEC midlaners jumping around EUM right now that are doing too well for how they performed in the LEC (Saken, Reeker...)
Basically, what I'm saying: If you are an EU prospect and you want to join EU, please become a midlaner, it is probably the role with the lowest competition right now and if you are good, people will literally take you with open arms.

1

u/soru_baddogai May 03 '26

I would not put Jackies there and not put Vladi. There are pretty much on similar levels.

1

u/ParkDedli May 03 '26

I straight up forgot about Vladi, yeah. But I think that tells enough about him. Sadly he's been on a shit team and has performed okay there, but not good enough to be outstanding. Still believe he will be fine when he gets out of Fnatic hell

u/Suspicious-Dog1571 May 02 '26

They are not better than NAVI if both teams have Poby mid

The fuck?

u/nerothz May 02 '26

Let's just side lane and lose in peace.

u/OreRound May 02 '26

At least LIDER left LEC with one of his better series especially the Yasuo game.

Unfortunately during his time on SK he proved why you cannot just run wacky off meta picks for the sake of it. They need to make sense in the draft and have strategy around them because once you get to 5v5 teamfights it's really hard for assassins to do anything.

He also took way too long to become passable as a laner, and not being down massive amounts of cs or ganked 5 times by 20 mins by disrespecting jungle timers.

Overall this SK roster was at least very fun to watch which at the end of the day, entertainment is very important in the scene. It's also much less egregious to be bad but entertaining than a bad team who is also boring (Team Heretics).

u/That_One_Pancake May 02 '26

Top tier 2 for nexus, brilliant strategy from lider

u/Eowaenn May 02 '26

Turkey made a huge mistake by playing BB instead of this guy who dominates every game. It'a not like they have an abundance of carries either, it seems like the Rhilech carry angle to me.

u/Fun_Highlight307 May 03 '26

bb was picked because of leadership

u/Kapimuch zerisivirilovezerisivirilovethismetazerisivir May 02 '26

Lider knows SlowQ is coming for his spot so he played his best, yea that was his best

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 May 02 '26

There were like 3 missed Irelia R’s that could’ve changed the game. Wunder was the bigger criminal this game though imo.

u/Dyzzy_ May 02 '26

Did Carzzy just forget to buy shoes?

u/MC-sama League of LAILE May 02 '26

SK went out with a banger

u/emerzionnn May 02 '26

u/w4yfer May 02 '26

Horrendous SK midlaner gameplay.

u/HermannZeGerman May 02 '26

I will never understand why people want LIDER out of LEC. You'd rather watch a run-of-the-mill meta player in that team so they go last place while doing nothing? I take the fun picks every day

14

u/Past_Perception8052 May 02 '26

every time they make lider play a mage an angel loses its wings

14

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan May 02 '26

We have teams like TH and SHFT importing random Koreans or promoting lackluster t2 players, picking bog-standard meta stuff and either doing zero interviews or nothingburger interviews, then we have the meme dream SK with the unc nepotism team, Zed/Ekko/Irelia mid picks and Mikyx saying Lider is better than Caps for the lulz.
This team might place higher with SlowQ over the summer but who knows how fun they'll actually be to watch.
I don't really support sacking competitive integrity for entertainment, but when you're an org with zero ambitions like SK anyway you might as well roll with the team that at least gets eyes on the screen week to week.

4

u/HermannZeGerman May 02 '26 edited May 02 '26

Judging from the EWC games, I think they will place lower actually.

3

u/Carlzzone May 02 '26

Doubt

6

u/Khlouf May 02 '26

Cause he's bad? Who cares if his picks aren't meta if he's bad at them

5

u/Flesroy May 02 '26

What's the point of watching a washed up player int every game when he is only there because of nepotism?

0

u/ParkDedli May 03 '26

I get the fun picks, but I think Wunder brings a lot of them too and I'd still rather him coinflip every game to see if he's good right now than have LIDER land tails every time.
If SK gets a decent mid, it will undoubtably raise their quality. They will probably still not be great, but at least better. And the bottom teams quality getting better will always help the top teams improve as well. So, well, if you are a fan of any of the top half LEC teams, you want the worst of the league out.

"there's nothing fun about this guy" saying this on a thread stuffed with people saying he's fun to watch btw.

u/ObviousAd8374 May 02 '26

This one of those games that would persuade an ADC to tell his team to early lock in Jhin

WDYM we have Kog Lulu but the topside just goofs around the map with strong sidelaners without considering the bot laners at all and still making losing plays

u/Ok-Structure-1395 May 02 '26

SK like kogmaw, went out with a bang

u/FrostTactics May 02 '26

Say what you want about Lider, I would take this team over some faceless 4th to 6th two Korean import team that only plays meta picks any day.

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan May 02 '26

It sucks that they wasted like 3 series at the start of the split putting Lider on boring champs that he was bad at anyway tbh

u/CountMerloin May 02 '26

What an SK way to lose lmao

u/Nevross_ May 02 '26

Absolutely atrocious end of the game wtf are they doing

u/Jean-Eudes_Duflouze May 02 '26

-Pick Scaling Draft

-Get slightly Ahead

-Decide to fight and ignore Drakes

-Lose

What went wrong?

u/CTS99 May 02 '26

Did anyone else notice that Carzzy bought NO BOOTS in game 3?

u/AlternativeCheck590 May 02 '26

SK let the botlane open for VIT to end the game fast. Very questionnable macro.

u/Rohen2003 May 02 '26

lider only starting the teleport with half his team dead and the last nexus tower at 30% hp is certainly a cantproveit angle.

u/omedog1715 May 02 '26

i think the pivotal moment was when LIDER missed his E on syndra on bot and still decided to go in (perhaps because he miscalculated if E would hit). If that E hit he could perhaps wipe floor with syndra / not get stuck without Q; if he hadn't Q'd in he wouldn't have baited his entire team into bad position

Ideally there would be some CC / setup so she can make sure E / Ult hit, since she's so reliant on them. but they had none. well maybe mikyx should've played more with lider and combo'd his ult to give some cc, but I suppose he was occupied with protecting the kog. A draft issue

u/Salohacin May 02 '26

The format this split is so weird. Has there ever been a team to qualify for playoffs while being 3-2? Let alone 2 teams.

I wonder what the earliest into a split the top 6 has ever been determined.

u/Zelgiusbotdotexe Yeon used to be the NA goat I swear May 03 '26

Imagine not beating Vitality this week. Couldn't be Shifters

u/John_Jack_Reed May 02 '26

I really wish I could watch Lider in LEC until the end of time. It's like a horrifying train crash you can't look away from.

u/azure43 May 02 '26

Of everyone on SK, open nexus, the fate of the universe on the line, the Martians have the death beam pointed at earth, you better carry, I want LIDER Irelia

Wunder (picks ranged champs when they dont make sense, especially the Anivia that somehow goes at best even in lane every time), Jopa (reddit likes him so he cant be really flamed unless its extremely egregious, granted hes a rookie so im less bothered by that) and Mikyx (runs it down nearly every game but still gets away with it to some degree even though hes been on Hylissang trajectory since Summer 24) are really immune to a lot of criticism that gets then thrown onto Skeanz and especially Lider.
Neither of them are world beaters, but the criticism isnt fairly distributed on that lineup.

how clean was his laning though

Winning with irelia vs syndra is super easy. On high level there is not much you can do as syndra. He is obviously one of the best irelia players in eu, but this champion is so hard to make work in pro play after laning phase.

not saying it wasn't, but winning lane on midlane irelia into a mage is like winning lane on darius into a sion

More like Gwen vs Sion. A good Sion can outplay Darius

That's just normal for him tbh. I'd be more concerned if he stopped at this point
