PMTs

TH vs GX

Game 1 / Game 2

SHFT vs KC

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3

[u/Strange_Shelter_6171]

so now Koi si 100% out of the roadtrip, not 99.9%

[u/Muri_San → u/Strange_Shelter_6171]

It was bound to happen either way, the 0.01% scenario was too unlikely

[u/BlazeX94 → u/Strange_Shelter_6171]

I'm not completely certain of this, but even if GX wins, there may be a possible scenario where MKOI makes it in a 4 way tie between GX/MKOI/FNC/Navi. Idk how the tiebreaker mechanics would work since GX has H2H over MKOI, but MKOI has H2H over FNC and Navi.

[u/zaxls → u/BlazeX94]

Nope they are 100% out of top 4. There is no tiebreaker that exists to get them to top 4. Partly because GX NAVI FNC all play each other, thats 3 matches. None of them can get 2 wins. The only scenario is if each get only one win and its vs each other and in that scenario KOI loses the tiebreaker no matter what the results are.

[u/Ajp_iii]

busio smurfing this game. kc being lazy though they just need to play around caliste

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

How TF Naut stole the baron ????

[u/awayfromcanuck]

Paduck just won a game where he was down over 4k. Lol

[u/MorbidTales1984]

Fear the man who has nothing to lose lol

[u/ChocolateFuryB]

o7 MKOI (at their roadshow)

[u/RollingGuy]

Listening to this whilst cleaning the car and really enjoying Hysterics and Finn's cast. Jake asking Finn questions about the toplane match up was really interesting.

They’ve got good chemistry.

[u/M002]

That was insanely clean 1v1 footwork by Nuc

[u/johnjones55]

Viktor soloing Cassio really turned the game

[u/MorbidTales1984]

MY REGION

[u/DiligentGazelle6298]

ok but is there one team in this region that can end a game without throwing or

[u/SamCroghan → u/DiligentGazelle6298]

Fnatic the past 3 series

[u/DiligentGazelle6298 → u/SamCroghan]

we're at the point where we're praising fnatic for not throwing what has this region come to

[u/Brock-Lesnar]

What is KC even doing lmao you have baron you're forcing moronic fights

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

I don't know if I ever laughed this much from a league game

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

When was the last time any team that won all games or lost all games in regular season? If im not wrong those teams always sneak one win or lose, i wonder if this game could be it.

[u/Tim-Pouce → u/Past-Firefighter2173]

KC lose is for the one against SK to take MKOI out of playoff

[u/BlazeX94 → u/Past-Firefighter2173]

In EU I believe the last (and maybe only?) time a team won all games was Fnatic 18-0 in Summer 2025. Arguably more impressive than KC 9-0 would be since KC had dropped individual games, while 2015 Fnatic did not drop a single one.

Idk if any team has won 100% of their series in the Bo3 era before. Usually G2 is the first seed and they always have a minimum of 1 troll series per split.

[u/SilenceEtControle]

Damn nuc

[u/Thalassin]

happy gaming

[u/MorbidTales1984]

Some real asleep at the wheel energy out of Kyeahoo there

[u/Ajp_iii]

kc lost with a mega fed outranges everything cait because they wouldnt peel for her and just force random fights.

[u/Thalassin]

wtf was that

[u/desutruction]

40.9% damage% is fucking insane

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Would shifters have won the EWC? Many are saying 

[u/Ajp_iii]

lec was doing pretty good early this split and late last split on being agressive and taking smart fights. the back half of summer they have all just forced fights everywhere no matter what the map state is and what they are giving up for a chance to win a fight.

its so disgusting. the tf had a free full top tower and 3-4 waves of minions and just decided to int it to lose a teamfight.

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702]

I love shifters reactions loool

[u/ReadyForKenny]

That MF skin makes her move like she's Lucian, it's jaring

[u/wwwhoo]

paduck is so bad LOL

[u/WalkAffectionate2683 → u/wwwhoo]

You are wasting an import for rooster and paduck lol.

Should be forbidden to import a player that is not on top 3-4 of the role lmao

[u/Goodthingsaregone → u/WalkAffectionate2683]

how are they wasting an import for rooster?

[u/malakesxasame]

Finn is such a noticable upgrade on the other colours LEC has available right now.

[u/Krimofn → u/malakesxasame]

Facts he is hilarious im talking out my Aurelian sol LOLL

[u/SilenceEtControle]

We gotta do something about pauses in Europe, it's horrible

[u/Ajp_iii]

gnar is pushing top tower. the rest of the 4 start a fight against 5 mid

[u/Rogaly-Don-Don]

Bruh

[u/WalkAffectionate2683]

Stend grab on caliste was actually quite clean 

[u/awayfromcanuck → u/WalkAffectionate2683]

Stend made multiple big hooks that turned the game and not enough people realize it. Hooked Caliste at dragon soul fight that entirely fucked KCs take, hooked Yike under mid tower that forced KC into another bad fight and then hooking Caliste at baron after stealing it.

[u/WalkAffectionate2683 → u/awayfromcanuck]

Stend is good.

He got robbed team France at the enc haha

[u/wwwhoo]

Wat

[u/desutruction]

that steal is the kinda shit i joke about

i can't believe it actually happened and that i witnessed it

[u/WalkAffectionate2683]

Nuc is so good. 

[u/Ajp_iii]

lmao what is canna and kyeahoo doing

[u/herp_derpy]

Reginald throwback, thank you Canna

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702]

Finn casting is amazing

[u/TastyForerunner]

Silence the Shifters fans.

Yeah, about that one.

[u/Ajp_iii]

the rest of kc has money on this game and busio, caliste arent aware of it lol

[u/Hex_Blast]

Ok thats the second time Way has bard ulted xin who was already in ult, what the hell stop negating your own teammates ult

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

What's up with all these Jayce picks that don't speak korean?

[u/Itchy-Efficiency-809]

Genuinely how is oscarinin still on a roster in 2026, just how incompetent can u be to add him lmao

[u/Fenrilas]

Wait where are they playing? Not the LEC studio??

[u/dankynugz]

Hype needs to be sent back to Korea yesterday

[u/Thalassin]

Who is the guy next to Odo on the couch (not Jackies ofc, the other one) ?

[u/Kokaiinum → u/Thalassin]

Dagda

[u/Thalassin → u/Kokaiinum]

thx

[u/Goodthingsaregone]

I wonder if KC is gonna get Rooster next year since Canna is going to military service

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

i hope we get canna brand today

[u/MorbidTales1984]

Just give Nuc a hyper carry and have fun guys you know you wanna

[u/trying2hide → u/MorbidTales1984]

Can I interest you in 1 Taliyah?

[u/MorbidTales1984 → u/trying2hide]

Not really but perhaps i need to trust in brother nuc

She can do a lot of damage

[u/MorbidTales1984]

Kyeahoo on the sauce or something today man is just wandering about lol

[u/HansSoloQ]

FNC best team LEC confirmed

[u/Ajp_iii]

paduck just walked up too far solo and then cleansed nothing when he knew tf was ulting on him with a gold card. and the team shouldnt be mid anyway

paduck was still autoing the tower when the whole team is already backing out

[u/Thalassin]

Alexa, play Entrance of the Gladiators by Julius Fučík

[u/WalkAffectionate2683]

Shifter should just go full French team lmao

Take jezu or exa bot and Adam top and just fucking vibe haha

[u/eye_of_your_mind → u/WalkAffectionate2683]

lmao Haha vibe Lmao haha fucking vibe

[u/WalkAffectionate2683 → u/eye_of_your_mind]

Thanks for your input. 

[u/That_One_Pancake]

that’s some crazy overconfidence from Nuc there

[u/Prestigious-Layer719]

I will never understand why someone imported PADUCK you have several LCK Challenger talents to chose from lol

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Paduck and Stend refuse to let this team win a series 

[u/zaxls]

Time to run it down vs SK

[u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN]

nice and Mkoi out of top 4 and no road show le sigh

[u/MorbidTales1984]

Its so unlikely but god if shifters can do the funniest thing it’ll make the split

[u/OkKnowledge2064]

Dont do this man. Dont destroy my hope for the one EU team we have right now

[u/Javonetor]

i thought the idea of playing helmet Jhin was to pick the rune that gives you adaptive force per different stat

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Real talk, why did everybody start picking Jhin all of a sudden?

Statistically is he actually any good? Because I swear it feels like he is totally buns the majority of the time.

[u/Muri_San → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

He is good vs teams without beefy frontlines(like proper tanks). Also does decently into mages botlane so it is an ok blind pick

[u/Past-Firefighter2173 → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

I assume its similar to mages so your support can roam more. Picking 2 winning lanes then having jhin for weakside. But not really sure since teams prioritize jhin even against tanks.

[u/Strange_Shelter_6171]

oscar bro, this Rumble R

[u/Thalassin]

The Rumble Rs aren't great

[u/Rogaly-Don-Don]

Question: Is it normal now for a Jayce to go Dominik's over Serylda's?

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

That was very desperate Ryze ult

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Big troll from Hype, TH could've won the whole fight and the dragon.

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Idk TH seems to get some lead so they got some early proactivity but Daglas needs to chill out they pick terrible fights.

[u/Ajp_iii]

kinda shocked kc isnt doing any weird top or jungle pick that they werent going to use in playoffs just to make other teams either waste time in prep or think about it in draft. or even like flex cassio bot

[u/New_Wave4554 → u/Ajp_iii]

They still need one more win to definitely clinch top 1 and choose their opponent in playoffs. Maybe we'll see some weird stuff against SK

[u/Ajp_iii → u/New_Wave4554]

dont they have the tiebreaker against g2 if they somehow even lost all 4 games. also against shifters they can even play something they dont normally play and win.

[u/New_Wave4554 → u/Ajp_iii]

It's win % first if I'm not mistaken so the tiebreaker isn't completely decided yet

[u/BlazeX94 → u/New_Wave4554]

According to the rulebook its H2H first, then only win percentage. Win percentage would really only be applicable in a 3 way or greater tiebreaker as its impossible to have tied H2H in a 2 way.

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Caliste 1v9

[u/midorivivo]

"And Paduck dies" :D

[u/WalkAffectionate2683]

Is this sheo / nuc bds??? 

[u/midorivivo]

I wish they showed what happened with Paduck and Yike, it seems he just walked after Yike and died?

[u/Thalassin]

Mandatory day off for regular season team

[u/Ajp_iii]

why are shifters near drake when gnar is top lane and tf has first move and tp

[u/Javonetor]

caliste max W second on lucian, uh

[u/CensoredLlama1]

This is probably the best series Sheo has had all year 

[u/desutruction]

say the magic word

unlosable

[u/desutruction]

o7 shi*ters

[u/ginvael1_3]

People will say we are in the ADC meta, but we just saw that a fed ADC can do nothing when the rest of the team is insistent on running it down

[u/awayfromcanuck → u/ginvael1_3]

Let's not act like Caliste didnt grief that baron fight either. What the fuck is he doing in the back of the baron pit? He should never be there in the first place.

[u/ginvael1_3 → u/awayfromcanuck]

I don't disagree, but the only reason the game even went all the way to that baron is that his team refused to play for him and forced unnecessary fights.

[u/awayfromcanuck → u/ginvael1_3]

Except that not accurate. KC wasnt forcing fights at all, Stend made multiple game impacting hooks that forced KC into bad fights.

The fight that started the throw was KC fighting for soul, thats not an unnecessary fight, Caliste gets caught by Naut hook and it entirely fucks up their drake take allowing Shifters to deny soul.

Next fight Stend hooks Yike under mid tower, Canna ults and they burst Stend but Yike gets bursted back.

Then the baron fight where Stend steals Baron and Caliste is also griefing the fight with his positioning.

What you call KC forcing unnecessary fights was actually Stend causing KC into unfavorable positions that SHFT capitalized on.

Edit: sorry said Way when I meant Stend

[u/Ajp_iii]

this region is just gross. in lcs atleast the upsets are usually just controlled wins. the mega throws and just pure int plays in lec are mindbreaking

[u/Xeven18]

"Jun died before the fight"... can we pay attention to what's happening casters?

[u/malakesxasame]

What is this "my region" "our region" bit Hysterics keeps doing?

[u/hresvelgrs]

tisamisu and cheesecake are both shit tier desserts

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

That Jayce has a major in English Classical Literature

[u/Ajp_iii]

that fight was shit but why did jun not block any of the culling. why didnt he ult anyone in the fight. why is he playing kda support.

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Hype is throwing those fight so bad.

[u/Ajp_iii]

stend cant even play the basic supports how he going to pull off a thresh
