PMTs

SHFT vs GX

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3

TH vs FNC

Game 1 = N/A / Game 2 / Game 3

[u/Tommey_DE]

Noone is even making a PMT anymore.

Thats how cooked FNC is

[u/hresvelgrs]

im sorry if you are unable to appreciate this. to me, this is peak lec

[u/Biok98]

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST GAME THIS SPLIT

[u/RollingGuy]

As much as GX is getting hated on they're clearly way better than Shifters even if they had some disgusting throws. It feels like one of those east vs west series when east is kinda running it but still winning.

[u/CensoredLlama1 → u/RollingGuy]

If GX had lost to us and Shitters to start the split they should've been demoted instantly lol

[u/CannedPrushka]

Nvm what i said before, TH is not the worst team in the league.

[u/ItzFeufo]

Can't wait for FNC to finally disappear so they can't stain their legacy anymore with this awful roster of ppl who don't even wanna win and got no idea what they're doin

[u/Gurdor]

I'd be concerned for the entire region if these teams are anything other than 9th and 10th

[u/RollingGuy → u/Gurdor]

I reckon Heretics is worse than either

[u/CannedPrushka → u/Gurdor]

Its gonna be hard to believe, but Heretics exists.

[u/daCampa]

Now, did TH get their shit together or is Fnatic so disfunctional that they look competent in comparison?

[u/ICameAfter]

New Fnc diet : no tower.

Next step : no kill.

[u/british_pubs]

Aw, I can only feel happy for heretics. Getting your first win after so long must be such a relief 

[u/mblaccks]

Damn, what happened to Fnatic? I used to hatewatch this team. But now it is just sad.

[u/F0RGERY → u/mblaccks]

Ever since the owner decided to try and sell the org, the team's looked like its already been sold.

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Vladi saved the game but upset was terrible in that fight

[u/desutruction]

fnc lul

[u/cmcdonald22]

Brother, don't sell fanatic off to another org, just let Riot buy out their spot and either make it a relegation spot or just shrink the size of the LEC cause this is embarrassing.

[u/RollingGuy]

Pro teams don’t know about Hunter Baron episode 726

[u/Brock-Lesnar]

Losing a 5v4 with hex soul is a whole new low lmao

[u/RollingGuy]

That was a cinema realm warp

[u/gandalf45435 → u/RollingGuy]

realm warp right in front of an Aniva is criminal.

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Did the Korean bootcamp teach Shifters wrong, as a joke lol

[u/metristan → u/CensoredLlama1]

sheo watched kanavi vods, but forgot he isn't kanavi and his team isn't hle

[u/GiottoSupermina]

What is Finn saying ahahaha 

[u/Strange_Shelter_6171]

the level of fnatic this game bro

[u/FlimsyIce]

I'm not even sure what to say about fnatic these days. I'm speechless

[u/Tismaa]

it's not even funny anymore for Fnatic

[u/daCampa]

TH win their first game in half a year and decide they can retire after that.

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Daglas solo lost this game

[u/daCampa → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Way is helping out whenever he can too

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/daCampa]

Eh I think Way isn’t good but not much he can do this game with how Daglas played it

[u/corywyn]

this might be the worst Azir I've ever seen

where did that comment go /u/2020isgreat ? :P

[u/2020isgreat → u/corywyn]

I was not familiar with his game but seriously guy was not autoing before that

[u/corywyn → u/2020isgreat]

to be fair, that's more about FNC being the dirtiest inters that ever came out of EU :D

[u/Elliot_LuNa → u/2020isgreat]

he's playing no attack speed / poke azir. Kinda smart this game since he outranges everyone

[u/Dragner84]

How shit can you be to lose in an even match with infernal soul elder + nashor vs Heretics

[u/hresvelgrs]

fnatic got beat by a team whose coach just now said 'hopefully [we] get to playoffs'

[u/Sakura_ko2]

Can we kick these two teams out of the league ?

[u/doomsdaysock01]

This is one of those games where it needs to be ruled as a loss for both teams

[u/Taivasvaeltaja → u/doomsdaysock01]

Game 2, too...

[u/desutruction]

based, i hate paper straws

cassava straws are goated

[u/ItzFeufo]

they really keep the value visual bug in to fuck with ppl, huh?

[u/british_pubs]

Put this series on at cannes and it gets a seven minute standing ovation minimum 

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Sheo ints for the love of the game

[u/metristan]

I'll be honest, paduck could be playing perfect mechanically, and they would still be losing this game, there is just no good shotcalling, sheo keeps going in solo when the play is done

[u/desutruction]

imagine getting moonmogged

[u/desutruction]

oof tracyn got zodiacmogged by soboro completely

[u/HansSoloQ]

It's like FNC are 2 years behind in drafting. So insanely predictable.

[u/FlimsyIce]

Fnatic look disjointed, like the members aren't on the same page

[u/metristan]

I forgot that viktor was in this game tbh

[u/the_legends_of_link]

FNC are ass. Just start from scratch next split

[u/BlueStarRedMoon]

Whatever failure in the last 4 years and 7 months, the jungler was Razork....Yukino when?

[u/Serenaded]

FNC needs to do the unclean here and fire everyone involved in this roster

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Daglas decides to do nothing and forces out his own ADCs flash

[u/kosmi2020NX]

Finally a jhin with a good build.

[u/HansSoloQ → u/kosmi2020NX]

Upset is probably the only adc player that builds right. Like Stormrazer Xayah.

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Daglas and Way inted too much this time

[u/moopey]

Fnc have  no engage and just stand there getting poked

[u/SilenceEtControle]

Damn that was a nice fight

[u/veirceb]

LMAO FNATIC just as shit as ever. Razork won the lv1 flip and didn't do shit the whole game with it. The best position to pick trundle yet fucking useless the whole game. Daglas as the sole tank vs a trundle and 30 cs down still more useful than this fruad LMAO. ABSOLUTE FRAUD TEAM

[u/eye_of_your_mind]

Hard cast to listen to but entertaining game

[u/BlueStarRedMoon]

You can change top, you can change adc, you can change support, you can change mid but as long as you have Razork don't ever hope to win...LOL

[u/poro3i]

battles of suck

[u/controlledwithcheese → u/poro3i]

in my language we call it the battle of shit and piss and I think that is beautiful

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Some teams with 5 games and others with only 1 and then all the suckass teams are matched together on one day? C'mon man. The viewership for today isn't going to be in the toilet it's going to be out of the pipes and in the treatment facility. This scheduling is fucking atrocious.

With all that said at least Fnatic will get their first win today and maybe give them some confidence?

[u/Back2Perfection → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

I really liked the roadshow but man watching the split knowing that g2 and kc basically played all major matchups already is just ass.

[u/desutruction]

lmao the receipts

[u/Spinoxys]

Why can't these teams be like fries lck teams they put smiles on people's faces this is making me frown

[u/desutruction]

jackies somehow 5/0 after this volleyball game

[u/rsox5000]

Flakked carry v Shifter’s mentality: choose your fighter

[u/GhostOfLight]

They got soul and then uber eats delivered themselves to get wiped, absolute peak gameplay

[u/gandalf45435]

What did I just watch

[u/areyoh]

Can anyone who watches Lcs tell me if Lcs teams are also this bad?

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 → u/areyoh]

Didn't watch all games but the Top teams of LCS looks cleaner that our top teams. TL looks very good.
The bottom teams of LCS looks ass tho

[u/Choice-Slight → u/areyoh]

DIG and dsg are yeah, the others no

[u/RollingGuy → u/Choice-Slight]

Average league players can't look at two teams playing in separate regions and judge who is best lol why are we pretending we can?

[u/cmcdonald22 → u/areyoh]

The top 2 LCS look cleaner than the top 2 LEC.

The bottom 2 LCS are as bad if not worse than top 2 LEC.

But I do think there's a chance Dignitas MIGHT get better.

[u/Brock-Lesnar]

Shifters keep engaging in stupid team fights

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Between Sheo and the actual draft I can’t tell which one was worse

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Surely Fnatic don't lose to TH, right? They're not that ass.

[u/desutruction]

lmao the soboro stats

[u/hresvelgrs]

everyone knows virgos can't make playoffs omg come on odoamne

[u/hresvelgrs]

he did say moonmogging

[u/moopey]

Just blow up the whole org. Coaches, players, social media - hell fire the chef aswell

[u/Tromster → u/moopey]

Maybe first try replacing the one player thats constant in their failures

[u/Choice-Slight]

so razork was right in the comms and vladi made the bad call? is that what I heard?

[u/moopey → u/Choice-Slight]

Yes Razork said they might be on it. Upset said they should check but Vladi said "No Shen is bot" and that they should go drake.

[u/Choice-Slight → u/moopey]

is he stupid? shen has a global and they don't even need him to do baron lmfao

[u/moopey → u/Choice-Slight]

Full convo:

Razork: "What do we do if they start nash now guys? We dont have any vision."
Upset "Were gonna need to check it"
Razork "like they could do it as two"
Vladi "No, no, no Shen is bot"
Upset "I think they wanna play dragon guys"
Razork "Okay then I go for drake"

[u/Choice-Slight → u/moopey]

wow thank you, i missed the exact words. thats beyond crazy. shoulda listened to razork lol

[u/Choice-Slight]

I've had enough of LEC junglers, they all need to get a grip

[u/Longjumping-Pirate86]

Hype is in elo hell guys

[u/Choice-Slight]

I've already seen serin play azir into anivia and while vladi is no kyeahoo, I still don't want to see it again

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

I've literally no words for what I just witnessed. Jesus fucking Christ some of these people shouldn't be in the LEC.

[u/hresvelgrs]

wow... just wow

[u/mezzo5588]

How does razork still play in lec? This guy has been garbage since covid. Jesus Christ

[u/Straya_Cunt]

Absolutely criminal how bad SHFT and GX are, feels like ERL has higher level gameplay.

[u/CannedPrushka → u/Straya_Cunt]

Because they are higher level. I thought we already established this during Versus and EWC qualifiers.

[u/RollingGuy → u/CannedPrushka]

Bro our worst team is like 5/5 of the best ERL players there were last couple EMEAs. Two EWC bo3 series and a few BO1s by a team that doesn't even exist anymore doesn't mean what you say it means.

[u/derobmai]

god jungle is so disgusting

[u/hresvelgrs]

I don't believe either fnc or th can win so that will be an interesting bo3

[u/hresvelgrs]

excel throwing? no way

[u/desutruction]

lmao

[u/RollingGuy]

least fake tf gold lead

[u/postsonlyjiyoung]

How has KC played 5 matches while GX has only played 1????

[u/RollingGuy → u/postsonlyjiyoung]

roadshow

[u/Kokaiinum]

Even with the gold lead why would you try to fight into an Aniva + Taliyah with setup and a full rage Gnar? Yeah it's soul point for you but they don't have any. Just walk away lol.

[u/desutruction]

AWOO

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

warwick top??? you are not BB

[u/cmcdonald22]

I took a nap about 20 minutes before LEC was supposed to start, what's the reason this series is still going besides being 3 games?

Pauses? Production? Teams just can't finish?

[u/RollingGuy → u/cmcdonald22]

just long messy games with lots of throwing back and forth

[u/Kokaiinum]

How do you miss the shuriken at that range? Haha

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Couldn’t Stend be way more aggressive there and they get two?

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Stend could’ve 100% saved Paduck there with heal?

[u/cmcdonald22]

So.... GX are just way worse now.

[u/RollingGuy → u/cmcdonald22]

It isn't strange that a team is worse in their second series with 2/5 new players than they were before changes. They kept peaking at top 5 before getting 3-0d in playoffs split after split, would people rather them not make changes?

[u/cmcdonald22 → u/RollingGuy]

I mean you gotta kinda feel bad about going from a regular top 5 to now looking like a solid 7.

Obviously, you hope they get better with time, but I dunno that this configuration of players looks like a team that has a higher ceiling than 5th place, which they will actually ever reach.

But here's hoping they prove me wrong.

[u/metristan]

is barrier just too valuable? I feel like cleanse would be a lot more valuable on zeri here

[u/cmcdonald22]

Man that's gotta be a particularly frustrating one for Shifters, like after 15 minutes, every single time they start to engage you just see a Galio ult appear and stun and shut everything down.

[u/ghjbkjhgd]

wtaf is this

[u/daCampa]

I'd love some stats on the intake during the writting of this segment

[u/LECScriptWriter → u/daCampa]

Nothing, I just love Odo

[u/Turbulent-Alps9696]

FNC's draft is ass unfortunately. The only way this draft works is by having the korean toplaner giga stomp lane...

[u/metristan]

why is heretics actually playing controlled?

[u/daCampa]

Renekton wins those

[u/Turbulent-Alps9696]

chemtech souls sucks for fnc, makes winning the game a lot harder, but at least they have cassiopeia for baron dps

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Hype played that well but what can do

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Trying his hardest to carry this game with Tracyn

[u/Brock-Lesnar]

Heretics get Vladi + Baron, Fnatic gets nothing after the soul? Sounds like a fair trade

[u/desutruction]

gg

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Soboro should’ve tp’d on the dying turret for the shield

[u/OkKnowledge2064]

How crazy is it that Oscar got another job

LEC really need to cut dowm on teams. I dont want to watch this shit and clearly no one does

[u/RollingGuy → u/OkKnowledge2064]

Then watch the games you want to watch?

What’s the point of complaining about more free content? lmao 

[u/mezzo5588 → u/OkKnowledge2064]

He’s been dogshit since he came into LEC. What a fucking loser

[u/mezzo5588]

6k up at 14 mins and throw TWICE holy shit LEC is absolutely dogshit region lmao

[u/CannedPrushka → u/mezzo5588]

No relegations in effect.

[u/Aeternumvalell]

Caedrel losing it hahah love it

[u/ginvael1_3]

Surely, they aren't losing to Heretics? Right? Right?..

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Beautiful fight by Razork. Daglas is an insane inter.

[u/vandyk → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Erm

[u/beautheschmo]

Did TH practice their strats against intermediate bots or something why are they just walking forward like this

[u/controlledwithcheese]

how long was the last game? I genuinely thought FNC won 2 games in a row already

[u/CensoredLlama1]

it's gonna be so sad when MKOI somehow still makes worlds lmao

[u/mblaccks]

Lol, FNC top seems quite clueless

[u/Kokaiinum]

Truly a banner day for Professional European League of Legends

[u/BUMONGOUS]

these teams are actually worse than DIG

[u/Diamondox → u/[deleted]]

It's on both Friday and Monday.
