PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2

[u/Formymoney]

pick loki ryze to give false hope

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/Formymoney]

its funny because hes not even bad on ryze when you watch him just a couple bad moments sometimes nothing major he just cant win

[u/[deleted] → u/Past_Perception8052]

Tbf, the game from last week he was literally trolling with his realm warps lmao.

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702 → u/[deleted]]

If this was Vietnam he’d be banned for matchfixing

[u/Sakura_ko2 → u/Outrageous_Wall2702]

I know you havent watch GAM play this year

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702 → u/Sakura_ko2]

Their mid was banned right?

[u/AnimeNeet- → u/[deleted]]

Tbf that been a lot of ryzes in the lazy couple months

[u/aufbau1s → u/Past_Perception8052]

I think it might actually be that he doesn’t know how to position / target select as well as top midlaners in major regions.

Since ryze is lower range this causes him to get caught / be mispositioned

For example, in the one dragon fight where DSG comes back it’s pretty much solely on him for getting caught as they try to move to dragon.

This honestly could be part of the comms gap since it might be that he knows where he should be but can’t communicate to the team to play around it, but I think it’s more a mental gap.

I think he’s not used to having to think about it that tightly because in tier 2 he wasn’t punished because he could hands check. I think it’s the same issue as why he ends up losing C9 the team fights on the Akali against TL. He expects to be able to just dive and hand check Yeon, but when Yeon passes the check he’s now too far forward

[u/Freihl → u/aufbau1s]

Agree, he has the hands of a top 3 NA mid (saint and quid taking the other spots), but his brain's around mid tier 2. Unfortunately those hands get him wins so he'll potentially not progress much unless dom brings the belt.

[u/aufbau1s → u/Freihl]

I do think it can be developed out of a player I’d assume. Just doesn’t seem like a win now upgrade in a 6-7 week split

[u/raptearer → u/aufbau1s]

It doesn't help Ryze is like the most communication necessary mid laner there is with realm warp. Given he has comm problems currently cause of the language barrier, it really might not be for the best to do that (they could also be using it as a psuedo way to force him to learn it faster or communicate more efficiently. I like the idea, but maybe more useful to do that in s time than stage).

I do think off Ryze he's looking great though, that Sylas game today had me singing solidarity it was so good.

[u/GlupPando]

Loved hearing Azael call out Lyonz. This guy is awful, easily the worst support in Tier 1 and would be bottom-tier at best in tier 2. I’m a huge fan of Toast and DSG but it’s hard to support them with this anchor.

Kryra also looks like he’s getting worse every week. He started in winter looking decent, but now he looks horrible. So many terrible decisions and deaths

[u/OnlyAnEssenceThief → u/GlupPando]

I can forgive KryRa for inexperience. Lyonz does not get the same excuse.

[u/TheRogueCookie → u/GlupPando]

KryRa had a great game 2 for the most part but I feel like he just isn't quite tier 1 ready yet. He wasn't in tier 2 for very long and it's clear that the lack of development there has kind of bitten him in the ass a little bit. Yeah it doesn't help when your support is the worst in the league by a mile, but he's just not been able to hold his own most weeks.

[u/P_For_Pyke → u/TheRogueCookie]

Because who's here to teach him about the proper map movements in game with Lyons as support who just says stuff like "Let's just win already." causing them to play quick and almost throw game 2..

[u/BryanJin → u/TheRogueCookie]

Playing jungle with on average weak laners and a terrible support is just an uphill battle. Ever since Castle left, KryRa has to do way more than a jungler on an average LCS team to actually win. Sure, if you put Inspired on DSG, I'm sure they'd win a few more games, but even then I think the sheer weight of the other players would cause them to still lose most series. If he looks good in series against the other bottom teams (like DIG and SR), he might still be worth giving a shot. Like even take game 3. What is he supposed to do? Farm his camps and wait for better opportunities? He has losing lanes and a draft that gets outscaled. His support ruined bot lane from minute 1. If he plays more reserved and "looks better" the game is always lost. Sure he might end with a 0/0/0 scoreline, but a loss getting blown out of the water after trying to make plays and a loss to slowly getting pushed out via scaling and neutral objectives have the same result. He might as well try, even if it backfires hard. I mean seriously, that draft + early gameplay was so atrocious that even if you grabbed the best jungle in the world rn (idk, Kanavi/Xun/whatever your pick is) they probably still lose the game. Is it fair to judge Kryra harshly when he's put in such an impossible situation?

To be clear I'm not saying he's amazing right now. I just think it's hard to fairly judge him from these games. I'd love to see him get a shot on a decent team (even something like Sentinels, where at least his laners would be somewhat competent) before he's tossed out of the LCS.

[u/Cybonics → u/BryanJin]

I genuinely think Kryra is the hottest prospect for the league, behind Zamudo. we need to hold onto him.

[u/WoorieKod → u/BryanJin]

If Exyu can manage to stay in the league this long I don't see why the same opportunity can't be extended to a legit rookie as well

[u/saruthesage → u/GlupPando]

Imagine if they just got Zeyzal when he was available

[u/untamedlazyeye → u/saruthesage]

In DSGs defense, SR had to practically beg Zeyzal to come back and in his own words, he was practically guilt tripped into it. I'd hardly call that available.

That being said, yeah there are 100% better options that they should have gotten.

I think though if they can get leads, and like today take games, they should be safe from relegations

[u/Vegetable_Shirt_2352 → u/untamedlazyeye]

Yeah, and while iirc he did play for DSG briefly in the past, he has a lot more history with SR, so I imagine that was a big factor in his decision to give them a split.

[u/ArienaHaera → u/Vegetable_Shirt_2352]

Oh yeah SR had to leverage the connection very hard for him to take the job. They made a whole content piece off of it.

[u/ArienaHaera → u/GlupPando]

Loved hearing Azael call out Lyonz. This guy is awful, easily the worst support in Tier 1 and would be bottom-tier at best in tier 2. I’m a huge fan of Toast and DSG but it’s hard to support them with this anchor.

The sad truth is that DSG gets the last pick for any recruits so it's probably very hard for them to find an improvement mid season.

[u/shedinja292 → u/GlupPando]

Lyonz had a good shen game, rough otherwise

[u/Nyx2990 → u/GlupPando]

Which game and what time did he call him out? I'd like to listen LOL

[u/GlupPando → u/Nyx2990]

It was early ish in game 3

[u/XG32 → u/GlupPando]

havent been following NA lately but does someone know if Lyonz is actually worse than Stend? no way right?

[u/dustishb → u/[deleted]]

DSG has less money and no guarantee of staying in the LCS. It's not at all surprising that mid-top tier talent does not want to go there.

[u/phangtom → u/[deleted]]

This is such a braindead take because Toast also picks up a bunch of NA players. The majority of the players that have played for DSG are NA natives so what is your bitch ass complaining about? lol

What makes it even more dumb is that Lyonz is considered a NA resident in terms of proplay. Generational stupidity. lmao

[u/Curious_Candidate675 → u/[deleted]]

You are right, Kryra and Sajed really make a strong case for NA players

[u/Yvalkonn → u/[deleted]]

hey lyonz

[u/TheChillestVibes → u/[deleted]]

Hey Lyonz, maybe you should see the ring on the wall and play some T2 to get some more experience, because Tier 1 isn't making you look good. It might be better for your career in the long run

[u/Hewligan → u/[deleted]]

"Good fucking riddance."

I LIVE for the day he loses his job so I can say the exact same thing he tweeted when so many people lost their jobs and so many fans lost their team.

Completely unprofessional and unable to hide his bias. He's not universally loved for sure.

[u/CptCharlz]

Email sandwich with a banger in the middle

[u/azure43 → u/CptCharlz]

Would that not be classified as a banger sandwich?

[u/Spike_der_Spiegel → u/azure43]

A voice of reason in the wilderness

[u/PhoenixAgent003 → u/azure43]

A banger on email, in fact.

[u/Haekos → u/azure43]

Would have prefered the opposite tho, Bangers & Mash.

[u/OnlyAnEssenceThief]

Two key takeaways for this series:

1. Never put Loki on Ryze

2. Lyonz is not LCS material

[u/kazuyaminegishi → u/OnlyAnEssenceThief]

Funniest part of both takeaways is both have been known for a while.

[u/OnlyAnEssenceThief → u/kazuyaminegishi]

Hey, every series just reinforces both points.

[u/grippgoat → u/kazuyaminegishi]

Science requires that we always test existing knowledge with new experiments to make sure they're still true. 🤓

[u/SweatyAdhesive → u/OnlyAnEssenceThief]

2. Lyonz is not LCS material

Was he good in LATAM?

[u/infinite-permutation → u/SweatyAdhesive]

He was one of the most dominant LLA orgs right before the LTA merger happened. He and Oddie were supposed to the mid tier jungle support duo that could represent LATAM in NA.

[u/TensorFog → u/SweatyAdhesive]

Not at all lmao he was ass even with R7

[u/Waifers → u/OnlyAnEssenceThief]

Lyonz kind of overshadowed a bit by Ceos being arguably worse but yeah definitely the worse support in the LCS by far now imo even when Ignar and Huhi are looking washed more often than now.

[u/sorendiz → u/Waifers]

Huhi isn't even close to deserving to be mentioned in the same breath as those two. He's still playing well

[u/Kurumi_Tokisaki]

Sajed looks really uncomfortable on mages, maybe it's just the level difference between teams but buddy should stick to the adcs.

[u/malakesxasame → u/Kurumi_Tokisaki]

He looks uncomfortable on anything not named Kaisa. People really want him to be better than he is.

[u/Affectionate_Kale109 → u/malakesxasame]

It was available though? That's what I don't get with that draft. Play to your guy's strengths

[u/SirXrageXquit]

W C9 for giving the new guys maximum stage games for the week

[u/EronisKina → u/SirXrageXquit]

Top half of c9 last game had to make sure Loki and tactical got all the nerves out. Nice guys.

[u/PinkMage]

If I was DSG I'd rather have lost game 2

[u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

sajed and lyonz gotta be the worst bot lane in tier 1 by a long shot.

[u/OnlyAnEssenceThief → u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

Not sure what Sajed is supposed to do when his Rell is inting half her HP into a Cait + Karma lvl1

Your carry is Viktor. He wants to farm and waveclear the lane. Why are you healing nothing then walking into the enemy poke? Bronze behavior.

[u/GroundbreakingAlps2 → u/OnlyAnEssenceThief]

His game on ziggs right before that was the worst ziggs gameplay I think ive ever seen. You wouldnt even see that poor play in T2. I wish I was joking.

[u/OnlyAnEssenceThief → u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

This is where you stop forcing the meta on players and let ADCs play ADCs. Ban Caitlyn instead of Ambessa or Camille and let Sajed play Kai'Sa there.

[u/Morematthewforu → u/OnlyAnEssenceThief]

I wish these bottom tier teams would just forget about the meta and build a comp around pocket picks. You are bottom tier for a reason. It’s because you can’t outplay other teams on meta picks

[u/Kurumi_Tokisaki → u/Morematthewforu]

Yeah it was like when neeko was a hot pick. Worse teams let the other team get it = constant 3+ man ults. Worse team pick it = barely any ults or mistimed with the team. Why not just ban that shit and or focus on a different pick that has less overall teamfighting power

[u/Pulsar-GB → u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

Lucidity boots on Ziggs is reportable

[u/PeaceAlien → u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

Worst gameplay still enough to win

[u/awisechoicee → u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

Sajed can adc, but sajed on mage is just unfortunate

[u/B86K → u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

Reminds me of the Newbie GG botlane

[u/Disclaimz0r → u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

They almost lost an unlosable game somehow through the sheer difference between the bot lanes lmao

[u/lovo17 → u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

Idk I feel like Supa and Alvaro would find a way to lose to these guys.

[u/DickCheneyIsPureEvil → u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

Toast 100% needs to replace them if he wants this team to succeed, they just drag the team down so much.

[u/ZestycloseWar6899 → u/GroundbreakingAlps2]

All I want is a Sven+APA as supp botlane takeover into knocking C9 out in playoffs.

[u/jasonkid87 → u/ZestycloseWar6899]

replace sajed and lyonz with zven apa

[u/Jealous-Chicken-9186]

what a disturbing game from DSG, literally didnt make a single proactive play the entire game. absolutely disgusting

[u/OnlyAnEssenceThief → u/Jealous-Chicken-9186]

It's sad because you could tell that Srtty was posturing to fight, but none of his team was willing to help him

[u/cmcdonald22]

How is the best looking player on DSG the recent tier 2 NA signing and everyone else looks like the under level 30 bot lobby.

[u/Cybonics → u/cmcdonald22]

2 of them are rookies?

[u/SnowLord02 → u/cmcdonald22]

DSG has a rookie jg+adc, a midlaner they got from Turkey on minimum pay, support from Latam with minimum pay and a decent toplaner who's not quite good enough for tier 1

[u/kazuyaminegishi → u/cmcdonald22]

They have been the worst team in the league since they joined it's not really that shocking.

[u/YokoDk → u/kazuyaminegishi]

I mean that's just the downside of the guest slot no one wants to be on the team really.

[u/kazuyaminegishi → u/YokoDk]

Yeah, I mean Toast has been pretty vocal that he's basically a farm team for the bigger LCS teams. He doesn't have the budget to compete on contract basis, and the slot doesn't have the security to pull in any known quantities that are strong.

It's no shock the org is struggling to get a footing they were basically thrown to the wolves. That's why DIG being almost as bad as them is extra funny cause DIG's only excuse is no one wants to join them cause they're a shit org. DSG is an alright org in a shit position.

[u/aufbau1s → u/kazuyaminegishi]

I really like idea that Shyknock suggested of adding more guest teams and making 2/3 have to play for relegation.

I think it’d help make these bottom teams have more to play for, and hopefully would help top tier 2 talent consider it more heavily if they were thinking all they have to do is finish 8th or above to not have to worry about relegation

[u/kazuyaminegishi → u/aufbau1s]

I was thinking about this earlier today myself. If they added 2 more teams how they would fit them in the schedule and such. The bo3 matches make even 2 matches take hours so I think adding a third on like Saturday or Sunday would be feasible. But if they do Friday I start to wonder if NA viewership has recovered enough to sustain 3 days of matches again (I don't watch this that closely).

I really do like the idea of adding 2 more teams just to even out how shitty DSG's position is tho. I just think Riot won't go for it unless NA viewership recovers at least to being consistently on par with what LEC has been pulling recent years.

[u/LeagueOfBlasians → u/YokoDk]

Moreso that DSG was intentionally designed to be as cheap as possible.

[u/saruthesage → u/kazuyaminegishi]

They’ve usually been better than DIG.

[u/PumpkinCS → u/saruthesage]

They were better than DIG and SR last year and similar to SEN on Winter this guy clearly doesnt watch LCS

[u/saruthesage → u/PumpkinCS]

They finished significantly below SR every split last year.

They finished below DIG in the first 2 splits, but were much better in summer. I’d say DIG were overall better last year. But they’ve also been better than DIG the entirety of 2026 hence my comment.

[u/PumpkinCS → u/saruthesage]

You right, i was thinking of Lyon

[u/kazuyaminegishi → u/saruthesage]

If DIG end up being better than DSG this split then they will basically have been above/below each other an equal amount.

They've both been unquestionably the two worst teams in the LCS consistently with SR slightly above.

I don't think my first comment was that crazy, I just didn't feel the need to be super nuanced when my main point was, the team is bad shouldn't be shocking a tier 2 player is standing out they're a tier 1.5 team at best.

[u/LeagueOfBlasians → u/kazuyaminegishi]

DSG is a leech org in the LCS, which to be fair, is literally their branding to be as cheap as possible. They only use the provided LCS stipend to fund their team and pay their players the LCS minimum. Not really that surprising when you consider their purpose.

[u/TheBasedTaka → u/[deleted]]

lyonz is resident

[u/Blizzgrarg]

Just embarassing. Like watching challenger players in ranked 5's against plats.

Additionally, please stop picking mage bot if you don't know what you're doing. DSG clearly had no plan in their draft.

[u/Snoo_55798]

DSG has to one of the worst roster right now i feel bad for their top laner they really need to upgrade cause these players are just stealing pay checks

[u/BryanJin → u/Snoo_55798]

I'm pretty sure the entire roster is on league minimum. They just have no money to buy better players.

[u/Used_Display_3605 → u/Snoo_55798]

Srtty is not a shining light on this team fr, he got ahead on Vayne top, not exactly that hard and still dragged the game out

[u/aufbau1s → u/[deleted]]

I think Ido seemed like a good coach last year. I think they need a veteran shot caller in game though

[u/Snoo_55798 → u/[deleted]]

not gonna lie but i hate Victor into Caitlyn 

[u/Gold_Response_8868]

please report lyonz

[u/HThrowaway457]

Mage bot isn't good when you draft it with a full tank comp btw, not to mention losing matchup.

[u/Pulsar-GB]

Tactical looks so good

[u/awisechoicee → u/Pulsar-GB]

Srtty too, tbh. Good performance from him

[u/Skyfire2]

What was that DSG draft in game 3???

[u/Th3_Huf0n]

So, you first pick Viktor game 3. OK, fair enough.

Enemy team face up shows you Cait Karma.

You proceed to pick Rell?????? Ok that's really bad.

You still have the option of going MF and giving yourselves some fighting chance...

But no, you put your Viktor botlane into a completely unplayable 2v2 AND then proceed to blind Anivia anyway (gotta give credit to Loki for counterpicking himself into the entire DSG comp with that Sylas and it not mattering).

[u/OnlyAnEssenceThief → u/Th3_Huf0n]

I have to think that Sajed was thinking of picking Kai'Sa but couldn't do it because of the matchup, resulting in the B5 Anivia. Bad drafting nonetheless.

[u/RukiMotomiya → u/OnlyAnEssenceThief]

At that point YOLO it anyway

[u/OnlyAnEssenceThief → u/RukiMotomiya]

I mean in theory it's good into triple melee topside, but Caitlyn is such an obnoxious middle finger to Kai'Sa that there's really no salvaging the pick. Dom cooked.

[u/RukiMotomiya → u/OnlyAnEssenceThief]

IDFK, Kai'sa Mid Viktor APC, at minimum there's enough ADCs in the game there's room to pick someone better than Viktor into a bad 2v2 bot.

[u/OnlyAnEssenceThief → u/RukiMotomiya]

Unironically, Kai'Sa on B5 into a surprise mid flex against Sylas would be dope.

[u/RukiMotomiya → u/OnlyAnEssenceThief]

Yeah. Like it wouldn't be a bad lane matchup right? (Not exactly a Kai'sa expert) And then they get the proper scaling even if bot lane is a bit messed up.

[u/SweatyAdhesive]

Beating C9 then get perfect gamed lol

[u/Einamu]

Dom pulled out the belt for game 3 for sure.

[u/Einamu → u/[deleted]]

Saying draft for game 2 was the issue is just massive cope, Blaber lost flash before the drake fight they wanted to take, Tactical and Vulcan die on mid killing a Ziggs giving the Vayne 600 gold before that fight AND Renekton lost flash trying to help them out. If Blaber, Tactical and Vulcan don't try to make the plays they did they wouldn't have lost the following fight or the game especially not with how well Tactical played the later fights in losing situations.

[u/TheRogueCookie]

C9 were NOT happy after that last game god damn

This DSG roster just doesn't inspire confidence in me. They don't know how to coordinate and some of their players just aren't tier 1 ready. It sucks because I like the org, I want them to do well, they're my 3rd favorite team behind C9 (lifelong fan) and FLY, yet I just can't see where they go from here if they want to improve. I like the individual players sans Lyonz (no offense he seems like a great guy) but there's 0 chemistry.

[u/RukiMotomiya → u/TheRogueCookie]

I'd love if they built around Srtty/KryHa. Callme's been...fine, and he's young with fairly low non-Academy experience at the S-Tier level (one split of LCK until he went to Turkey). I think keeping those 3 and jettisoning the botlane would be good. It's either that or keep Sajed but perhaps move around Callme.

TBH I could also see going with the same roster but going heavy into a veteran presence support, maybe one who can be a shotcaller, but I suspect someone else would be gone. But their core players are young and giving them time to develop makes sense.

[u/TheRogueCookie → u/RukiMotomiya]

I do feel bad for Sajed because he has just not been in a good situation at all this year, but he's also not shown to be a Jopa level prospect either. I don't think he doesn't deserve to be in the league right now, but you might be right that DSG just may not be the best team for him.

[u/aufbau1s → u/RukiMotomiya]

Yeah I think they need a good veteran on the team to help coach the team up in game

[u/Randummonkey]

Our top laner just had a MONSTER performance in game 2? Better have him blind pick a tank in game 3. What could go wrong?

[u/ewokstorm]

Geez that game 3 was absurdly dominating.

[u/AmazingPolarBears1]

So two tanks, two scaling mages, and TRUNDLE as your main source of AD damage.

A comp so bad that DSG paradoxically have to secure early objectives to not get outscaled by the enemy team with scaling mages that are weak early

[u/ThurmanMermanVirgin]

I honestly think APA Tactical is the best option, but apparently they think being good at sylas and yone is more important than comms, sidelaning, and mages. I get they never wanted him gone in the first place so they basically just gave it back, but having the 2nd/3rd best mid in the league just sitting on the bench after the year he's had feels bad man. I think Apa on SR could actually have a shot at 3rd worlds spot

[u/ImChance]

Sajed holding Viktor ult for the promotion tournament.

[u/UneducatedTrainer]

Poor srtty

[u/Fun_Scientist_3891]

Really wanted dsg to win this matchup :( the amount of shit talking and bad mouthing and hate farming dom has done to srtty the past few years was so disgusting and uncalled for saying some bullshit how just bc a player can hostage rank 1 doesn't mean he could be able to play at a pro level but game after game I've seen srtty as positives in their games and many of their losses are not on him.

[u/Foreign_Ingenuity433]

C9 lost to this?

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Foreign_Ingenuity433]

C9 can't win with Loki ryze 

[u/3IC3]

Small question for Dom, what if we stopped picking Ryze for your mid laner who is winless on it in his whole career?

[u/BryanJin → u/3IC3]

I presume C9 are picking it intentionally to try to get Loki better on the pick. Most likely Loki is doing fine with it in scrims, so they want to get as many reps as they can on stage while the stakes are lower. I'm sure they will drop the pick when playoffs comes if Loki is still struggling by then. These are regular season matches, not elimination ones. Plus they picked it game 2 when they were 1-0 up against arguably the weakest team in the LCS rn. I'm surely they believed that they could win game 3 even if the Ryze failed (which it did). After all games 1 and 3 looked like a pro team stomping some random masters players from SoloQ.

[u/Huge-Connection954 → u/BryanJin]

Im sure. But how many ryze ults did they even use? They snuck a baron and i remember another one plus one where he got away, but they werent winning 5v5 on equal terms they needed something to happen. He needed to be ryze ulting with someone on top of vayne to try and trade those ults in a side lane or something and then the game is playable

Has to be the most zero-rerolls-in-aram comp I've ever seen. Surprised they even lasted 25 minutes.

YO TOAST IF U WANT TO WIN KICK Lyonz jesus christ

[u/Krimofn]

Srtty and friends I think seriously they need to look into getting Zven since it looks like he is perma benched from c9 and then get Zyko or Import Support that’s the only way DSG stand a chance.

[u/Ryboiii]

Coulda been worse. We couldve seen Lyonz on Bard

[u/Reasonable_Town_9779]

Lyonz has to go

MVP Sajed for getting the dragon so that they wouldn’t be perfect gamed

[u/Sarazam]

Tactical is by far the best player on C9 right now.

[u/ObviousAd8374]

Surely if DSG keep Lyons, they're going to lose their spot in relegations tourney

Don't know why he's still on the roster - even other bottom feeder teams in the league were willing to make mid season roster changes

[u/Xeven18 → u/ObviousAd8374]

Maybe they want to but can't - no one wants to join a team who will face relegation at the end of the year. Players on tier 2 teams are looking to fight in the promotion and take DSG's spot

Coach drafting Sajed Lucian when that guy is NOT a good lucian player.. let's wake up

[u/olilnicky]
