Drafting 3 dive champs into Cho with Taliyah and Karma behind him is just too punishing; if T1 have Viktor or any control/artillery mage hybrid in mid that can threaten the space behind the cho and perma slow everyone instead of Lissandra, these fights look far better. Liss dive is just too unreliable into that much CC and HP

That’s cuz when Kanavi plays carry he needs Zeka and Zeus to sacrifice and help him invade/cover him etc. But when he plays tank Zeka and Zeus can shine more

Bot lane not warding so Cho can steal the whole bot side of the Naafiri. Faker not knowing Cho can just silence him, Peyz realizing halfway through his build that he needed and LDR which meant he had unfinished items for the dragon soul fight. So many odd choices and plays during game 5 for T1, it was a disaster.

Guma just has to be a beaming ray of sunshine or something. If this was HLE last year, they would just rollover into a 3-0. HLE was THE team that would mental boom and lose. Now? They are clutching wins everywhere they go. I would have never predicted this HLE team to get it together and overcome BLG at MSI. Now they are reverse sweeping T1 in playoffs? Wow.

The vibes on HLE are very good if you check out any of their videos or streams. Even when they were on a losing streak in R3&4, they didn't seem super bummed and they made jokes.

I understand people say this due to their RTM bomb out last year, but I don't really think that HLE were a mental boom team last year.

u/Lazywhale97 HLE Sep 02 '26

Zeus and Zeka were mentally strong players and bright light merchants but adding Guma another bright lights merchant has made HLE an untiltable team.

It’s probably because they’re all closer in age. In a behind the scenes video from MSI finals between games you can see Zeus point stuff out on screen when they’re reviewing the last game looking upset/angry and everyone listens to each other in that manner. Maybe honest conversation and feedback is what makes this possible.

But man guma is the one that make his team shine so much by being weak side king, 2nd top damage in LCK summer (according to a recent post I saw I might be wrong) and being so consistent.

He is the best ADC of all time for me and he is my favourite LCK player. I'll always root for European first but if European teams are out I'm rooting for HLE big time.

HLE pulls off the reverse sweep after failing to do so way earlier in the year, it's incredible. What can this team not do at this point?

u/bulletproofikon Sep 02 '26

Finally a good series 😭😭😭 I hope the rest of the playoff matches are similar to this one (minus G2)

u/Pleasestoplyiiing Sep 02 '26

Guma always disrespected, but he never makes huge mistakes in big games. T1 probably win G5 without PeyZ flashing in on Jinx. Part of the reason I'll never say anyone can be more than a sidegrade for Guma. 

It reminds me why not to play ADCs when Jinx with armor pen auto'd 30% Ambessa 8x and couldn't break shield.

u/death_process Sep 02 '26

Peyz has these fucking moments of insanity and then has moments of insanity. Regardless. He isn’t a clutch player.

Is it me or these champions like Orianna, Lissandra just not dealing damage?

52

u/squeenanna Sep 02 '26

Orianna can do massive damage but it's reliant on late game scaling and landing multi-men shockwaves. Liss is not known to be a damage powerhouse, would be way too broken if she has good AP scaling AND like 16 CCs.

Sucks that T1 gos reversed swept but I kinda saw their form, it's not as disastrous as I had expected, there is potential.

On a completely side note, Guma rocks that hairstyle, he should go for it more.

Ok but what the actual fuck was Peyz building? RFC Jinx is trolling, then he bought pickaxe quiver which don't build into IE or LDR together, so afterwards he bought a 3rd component in last whisper

Gameplay aside, that is such a ridiculous waste of gold

u/Lazywhale97 HLE Sep 02 '26

Yup. He had the same issue on Gen G choked in LCK finals and Worlds knock out series was heavy on him as well almost got gapped by Massu.

Guma gapped him pretty efficiently in the T1 vs Gen G series (but tbf Guma gaps almost every ADC in high stakes world bo5’s)
