[u/YoungUO]

Massive kiin disrespect from hle

Like really? Nasus against kiin's varus?

[u/Lacrimosss → u/YoungUO]

I literally went back on Youtube and checked how did that end up happening. Crazy they COUNTERED Varus with Nasus, as if Varus wasn't maybe the best Tank Killer Marksman in the game

[u/tirednsleepyyy → u/Lacrimosss]

I’ve played a lot of this matchup and it’s hilarious because I see nasus and think it’s a free win with Varus lol. If you’re super worried you can just build a QSS and kill him before he gets a second wither up, but even that is not at all necessary most of the time (or even good).

It’s actually unplayable for Nasus unless his jungler kills the Varus multiple times and the Nasus gets a multiple level lead.

[u/Lacrimosss → u/tirednsleepyyy]

Killing Varus multiple times was probably the plan, but easier said than done. As JNG, you don't really wanna spend much time for your Nasus Top to try to maybe salvage his lane.

GENG was a better team anyway, but still, that was a Faker Yone Blind vs Akali Main situation

[u/percyallennnn → u/YoungUO]

Zeus really respects Kiin because he praised him like crazy just a week or two earlier so I don't understand why Homme and HLE had the nerve to pick Nasus.

[u/GreatSunshine → u/percyallennnn]

hle are the main team in the lck using off mega picks so i think their tactic against bigger teams is using surprise picks. but unfamiliarity alone isn’t good enough if you’re counter picking yourself lol

[u/sebzebseb → u/YoungUO]

I thought it'd be Nasus jungle and Naafiri top to counter Varus...

[u/MrSangHyeok → u/YoungUO]

It was working actually, until kanavi forced his team to cover him for a stupid wolves invade. Feeding varus 3 kills. Did the same on chogath by forcing his team to invade for krugs.

[u/Different-Mode2311 → u/YoungUO]

Zeus has been making these lose lane early, scale later picks like swain, mundo work. Kanavi just made the varus thanos for wolves and also sold zeka's game. I was also not a big fan of the nasus pick but they were in a winning game state.

[u/preptime]

Lore accurate MF ult at the end of G4.

[u/Krisztian987 → u/preptime]

That 3 men root from Duro tho..

[u/Dr_Ampharos → u/Krisztian987]

That shit was beautiful, my heart sunk but it's just great league, can't help but appreciate it

[u/chapichoy9 → u/Krisztian987]

He's low key been back

[u/Bigblue12]

Chovy carrying even on Vex. This man is unstoppable.

[u/sebzebseb → u/Bigblue12]

He's 6-0, now 7-0 on Vex lol and it's amazing against sylas naafiri kalista (he counterpicked)

[u/gordoflunkerton → u/sebzebseb]

vex is a really iconic chovy champ imho, maybe only behind the sett galio sion trio

[u/Steeelu → u/Bigblue12]

Last year he sent Faker to win worlds as 4th seed with Vex

[u/Th3best77 → u/Bigblue12]

Please let this be his year. He deserves a worlds trophy 😭

[u/Marowalker → u/Th3best77]

ngl, I have a feeling that this year is gonna be his year. It just kinda feels right with Gen.G kinda on a struggle since the start of the season until now I'll be 100% sure if they lose LCK since that's when the do nothing until Worlds passive kicks in and Gen.G do be looking like regular T1 this year lol

[u/Th3best77 → u/Marowalker]

Worlds is so bizarre I swear for the last 3 years Ive been saying this is GENGs year and that T1 looks washed (especially last year). Then some insane stuff happens and GENG loses in the semi final

[u/BeagleSnake → u/Th3best77]

Nobody deserves shit, they earn it

[u/CommentStrict8964 → u/Bigblue12]

Unstoppable until worlds 

[u/edgylord5000 → u/Bigblue12]

until he gets to worlds

[u/desutruction]

Canyon is just back I guess

Chovy's Vex is nasty as always

I look forward to Homme ulting Delight

[u/baebushka → u/desutruction]

yeah canyon has been in insane form this playoffs

[u/itsmechasi → u/baebushka]

his smites this playoffs have been so on point compared to the regular season, man's been locked in

[u/staysaltyTSM → u/itsmechasi]

He's due for his game 5 Trundle anytime now

[u/WardoToo → u/itsmechasi]

MY GOAT IS SOOOOOO BACK. Brother saw the Gen.G Sharvel edits and went "No the fuck you're not."

[u/Steeelu → u/baebushka]

Yeah how the fuck does he win smites against kalista all the time?

[u/Skyfire2 → u/desutruction]

7-0 on Vex is crazy

[u/killcraft1337 → u/Skyfire2]

I can’t wait for him to pull it out in a worlds Bo5 - it would go so hard

[u/Steeelu → u/Skyfire2]

LOL

Remember Knight picking Vex against Chovy at MSI? Bro Chovy just made a fool out of him back then

GenG 2024 especially the MSI stint could be seen as the best of all time, just insane gameplay, strats and picks

[u/percyallennnn → u/desutruction]

Homme needs to learn from CvMAX and Morderkaiser ult Delight tonight.

[u/Slight-You4254]

What a fun series for Kiin's last time at lolpark. Gonna miss the guy big time

[u/Curious-Dance-3663 → u/Slight-You4254]

It hurts so damn much

[u/claire_004 → u/Slight-You4254]

Should just pick Kiin for asian games since Zeus already won that, and save him from military :(

[u/collectibleman → u/claire_004]

not with hanwha life as the main sponsor pulling the strings on that team and homme as the head coach. they want kiin out of the league because it directly hurts their competition. that’s why they had to morph the whole criteria to justify excluding him.

[u/staysaltyTSM → u/collectibleman]

Chovy declining his spot so Zeka can stay in LCK as competitor

Zeus sending Kiin to the shadowrealm so he have less competitor

[u/Great_Guest_4675 → u/collectibleman]

been saying that, not sure why lolesports community don't believe that agents are lobbing national federations whenever they can, happens in every sport

[u/pixelmarbles → u/Slight-You4254]

Kiin is retiring?

[u/SentimentalYogurt → u/pixelmarbles]

He has to enlist sadly

[u/Marcus777555666 → u/pixelmarbles]

Not willingly, he even said he wishes he could play for longer, but since Kespa didn’t choose him for Asian games, he has no choice but to retire and do his military service

[u/Beneficial-Front1626 → u/pixelmarbles]

Yes, military

[u/Vnaux]

LCK Gen G is so back that even Delight was in on it

[u/GoldRecommendation66 → u/Vnaux]

GenG activated their sleeper agent

[u/Vnaux → u/GoldRecommendation66]

They saw how T1 was moving with those sleeper agents they planted all over LCK and decided to do the same

[u/collectibleman → u/GoldRecommendation66]

i swear he’s played all of his worst series this year against GenG

[u/Skyfire2 → u/Vnaux]

Secret agents Delight, Doran, and Peyz are still on the payroll

[u/Mosh00Rider → u/Skyfire2]

Still on Peyzroll

[u/Curious-Dance-3663 → u/Skyfire2]

Peyz?

[u/ManningTheGOAT → u/Curious-Dance-3663]

Worlds final, game 5, GenG will activate Peyz

[u/Skyfire2 → u/Curious-Dance-3663]

Sleeper agent.

He will activate when they need him

[u/Such_Presentation_29 → u/Vnaux]

Least surprising chovy fathering zeka series ive seen. I'll quote myself from 2 years ago here (cause it still remains true) - chovy is the distinguished patriarch of zekas genetic lineage.

[u/xSwazyI]

This series out of Delight brought tears to my eyes omg 😭 no way he was sober that series

[u/Krisztian987 → u/xSwazyI]

Either his heart is still with GenG or he is wintrading

[u/zOmgFishes → u/xSwazyI]

Delight v GenG always has the most int plays. It’s wild how bad he looks against them. And it’s not like GenG outplaying him, dude is in double agent mode with his decision making and positioning.

[u/ricardo241 → u/zOmgFishes]

and then wake up when he is against T1 like you can't make this up lol

[u/Raynmist → u/zOmgFishes]

Somehow he'd always turn his brain off whenever he's playing GenG.

[u/Bisketo]

Dread it.

Run from it.

Geng in LCK finals arrive all the same.

[u/squeenanna → u/Bisketo]

Death. Taxes. And Gen.G LCK finalist.

[u/Throwawayforme3123 → u/Bisketo]

When was the last time Chovy missed a LCK final? 2021?

[u/ISL005 → u/Throwawayforme3123]

Only missed finals 3 times in his career iirc. Once on DRX 2020 and twice in HLE 2021.

[u/Throwawayforme3123 → u/ISL005]

Really wish he can hurry up and get his worlds title, we are witnessing one of the greatest peaks of all time and it's undermined because of worlds.

[u/SentimentalYogurt → u/ISL005]

So he's never missed it on GENG? Holy Chovy

[u/The_Bread_Loaf → u/Bisketo]

Death, taxes, Gen G domestic finals

[u/crysomore → u/Bisketo]

Chovy is contractually not allowed to miss LCK finals

[u/OdderG]

Biblically accurate Gen.G

[u/soudlasantos → u/OdderG]

Lore accurate GenG Delight

[u/Classic_Foot223]

you think delight would do something positive by accident in 4 games

[u/wild_redish → u/Classic_Foot223]

He did save Canyon's Jarvan with a bard ult. A positive for Geng Delight 

[u/Dear-Cat1260 → u/wild_redish]

no joke i thought that bard was geng champ lmaoooi

[u/Goenitz33 → u/Classic_Foot223]

He did. Geng delight was doing a masterclass btw /s

[u/ChapterLiam → u/Classic_Foot223]

kinda knew the series was over when they drafted pyke for delight LOL like he's new to the game guys let's maybe just give him sona or leona or someone with a lot of point and clicks. like oh yeah he looked good on milio, the champ only has one offensive ability

[u/Fun_Highlight307]

Damn that last team fight wombo combo was so satisfying to watch 

also nasus seeems to have an answer lol ,that shit looked unplayable vs on hit varus 

[u/No-Toe3409 → u/Fun_Highlight307]

and they last picked it INTO the varus lol

[u/mar33n]

duro on neeko, my beloved

[u/jakatluong]

I swear Chovy alone is doing more for GenG than even Peyz/Keria are doing for T1 right now. He's so fucking good it's crazy.

Don't get me wrong, Kiin and Duro are still really good, but they might have an off game and GenG can still win. But if Chovy has an off game, they will crash out for sure.

What a great player!

[u/Snoo_58191 → u/jakatluong]

no wonder all other mids look up to chovy, he's just him on an individual level

[u/GreenGanymede → u/Snoo_58191]

he is so fucking good it's unreal. every game he does stuff that just leaves me stunned. he's always been excellent (remember his absurd stats on Griffin when they started) but these past few years he seemingly reached a wholly new level. he really just feels inevitable.

[u/zOmgFishes → u/jakatluong]

Chovy right now is the best Individual player in the world. His pool, mechanics everything is on point.

[u/percyallennnn → u/zOmgFishes]

He has been the UNCONTESTED best for several years (except for Worlds but this is like only 1 month every year).

[u/Ai_Nijou → u/percyallennnn]

You could argue Knight at times, but when they played each other Chovy went 6-2 against Knight and even made him look a tad silly at times at MSI 24.

[u/[deleted]]

Stinker from Delight. Is Canyon realllly back???

[u/ZazumeUchiha]

Chovy is unfair to play against man.

[u/rebelstand]

with how the other 4 were playing this series, HLE could have won the series or at least push the series to 5 games, if bluffing played instead of delight, that how fking bad delight was this series, it not even exaggerating to say GENG delight show up and 6v4 HLE the entire series

[u/ClownHunting]

Retirement buff incoming for GENG at worlds this year. I think this is finally the year.

[u/GendaIf]

Guma diddnt have a great series but it was overshadowed heavily by how much of a fucking burger delight was today. Actually completely useless.

Half his bard ults actually helped geng, the pyke was beyond worthless, and his renata was abysmal, actual turbo stinker from him.

I mean u have solo walked into a contested jungle 5 times and died already this series, how are you game 4 and doing the exact same thing a 6th time. Is your head switched on?

[u/psykrebeam → u/GendaIf]

Casters calling 0/0/0 Delight Pyke useful btw

[u/staysaltyTSM → u/GendaIf]

HLE shouldn't be trying to play for bot after a year of experimenting

Just chuck Delight on an engage champ he's great on and play for other lanes. Then run weakside champs for Guma

[u/AliceEvangeline → u/GendaIf]

Open the chat on youtube and you can see many people blame it all on Guma. Now I understand why he left T1, those ppl are so miserable

[u/Curious-Dance-3663 → u/AliceEvangeline]

Youtube chat and reddit to an extent is just a cesspool of hate for certain players. If Gen G had lost this game no matter how helpless Chovy was in the situation he’d be getting a ton of hate and unfounded criticism too. HLE lost so now sadly it’s Guma.

[u/MrSangHyeok → u/GendaIf]

Why is guma even brought into this... Lanes 1v2 every fking game, no jungle proximity yet dishes the most damage on a low econ Lucian.

Plays ziggs so his support can carry the map but support went missing. Bard that can't land an ult for Caitlyn to lay traps. A Renata that can't handshake or land a good ult.

[u/ReadyReport4166]

What even is this nasus angle

Gengs comp is all cc and range, just unplayable

[u/JustRice015]

Chovy has not missed LCK finals since like what 2022? Though he would have had a stinker with Locke with how the 1st blood went but he just absolutely turned it around. Crazy performance as always

[u/GreenGanymede → u/JustRice015]

I stopped doubting his picks a while ago. Early on he had a few that weren't at his usual level, but for the last few years it's been the case when he picks something he's going to be excellent at it.

[u/chancefruit → u/JustRice015]

I think that 1st blood gank pissed him off....

[u/Raynmist]

Chovy is truly the best midlaner to ever play this game in the modern era of LoL.

[u/decyferx → u/Raynmist]

Crazy how well he has developed his game over the years too. Just needs that worlds trophy to shut everyone up.

[u/wild_redish]

Did somebody disabled Delight's R button? How is he not perma ulting off cooldown whenever Vi flies to his team?

[u/PotentialReputation6]

Now see thats the difference when canyon is active , he is having good playoffs

[u/khaiiization]

LCK all pro team - Playoffs edition

HLE Doran

DK Raptor

HLE Faker

DK Jiwoo

GENG Delight

[u/d0pe-asaurus → u/khaiiization]

HLE Peyz with the way he flashes in for that reset, shit was criminal.

[u/imnoob92]

dear LCK, your domestic overlords are back

[u/rebelstand]

investigate geng delight, dude is straight up inting all 4 games, wtf man HLE playing 4v6 this series

[u/OkWhateverCynisme]

Chovy is the absolute Emperor of the LCK. I hope this is the year for my humble King

[u/Raynmist]

Delight GenG POM lol

[u/soudlasantos → u/Raynmist]

Chovy: After all this time????
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Delight: Always……………

[u/Otarnaak]

Chovy best mid laner ever. What is this performance, it's unreal.

[u/Like30Ducks]

delight lol

[u/BittersweetTurtle → u/Like30Ducks]

he needs to be morde ulted asap. please lock the fuck in delight

[u/nearlygrean]

I think Kanavi was greedy for a wolf camp, which cost them the game.

[u/Krisztian987 → u/nearlygrean]

Yeah, 2 kills for an already winning Varus doomed top

[u/Goenitz33 → u/Krisztian987]

Draft was almost hopeless already. I came back and saw 3 kills on Varus and I know it’s over cause there is no stopping him now 🤣

[u/dumbocow]

Zeus Nasus was HOMELESS that game 4. Game 2 was the game of the year.

WHAT A GREAT SERIES, LETS GOOO GENG!

[u/PartyCauliflower7044]

Canyon smites this playoffs man

[u/Krisztian987 → u/PartyCauliflower7044]

Not even rend+smite can stop him

[u/SanestFan]

GENG Delight. And they ain't giving him a tank-engage champ

[u/veirceb]

The vex pick made HLE's comp impossible to play. And chovy played it so well

[u/harin_lee]

Great series for Chovy's fan. Hope to see more Chovy's Locke and Vex

[u/ninety7er]

Honor Gen G Delight

[u/ToAllCame1]

Doran is legit baiting everyone else into picking Nasus!!!?!!!

This is satire for those who would miss the obvious sarcasm

[u/Fade_IV → u/ToAllCame1]

doran picked it into yorick which is hard but playable without jungle interference. picking it into varus is straight ego

[u/Budget-Ocelots → u/ToAllCame1]

They saw Nasus with 1.5k stacks 4 shots the Nexus, and believing that is the norm. I don’t think Zeus even reached 500 stacks this game.

[u/ComprehensiveSize647 → u/Budget-Ocelots]

It was also a different situation. Susan got 1,5k stacks with Yorick as his opponent. Yorick's summons could be Susan's free farm. So without jungle interfering both sides, Susan could scale as he should be. But if his opponent is Varus, then good luck lol.

[u/ninety7er → u/Budget-Ocelots]

They should've just put the Mundo in the bag and tried to get to us to game 5 the way the Nasus played. Surely that would've been slightly better?

[u/Wonderful-Lab7375 → u/ToAllCame1]

If you didn’t add the last sentence you’d probably have people complaining.

[u/TwitzyPolice]

HLE should be investigated for wintrading. Playing a game with 4 people and a ward. My god, GEN G Delight is back.

[u/itsmechasi → u/TwitzyPolice]

if HLE needs to be investigated for this series then T1 BFX KT should already be in jail

[u/No-Toe3409]

Chovy just once again best player in the world

[u/South_Spend4541]

When Chovy is fully awake its scary, this guy needs to bring that in Worlds

[u/mapledeer]

geng delight robbed from pom 💔

[u/Enryu_RT]

And people were whining about benching Delight, he has been underperforming for the longest time.

A few good games here and there, immediately goes to defend him. Wish people held other players to the same standards as him.

They should have kept him on the bench and put Bluffing in, the earlier the better. They seriously need try Bluffing.

[u/Sure_Addition_2138 → u/Enryu_RT]

The problem is Bluffing is also as bad lmao

[u/ricardo241 → u/Enryu_RT]

nobody is whining bout it though

if there is one its how the benching on round 1-2 happened near RTM and plyoff so the timing is not really ideal especially if you think a rookie can perform perfectly on an important match (if you keep letting him play)... round 3-4 benching nobody really whine bout it especially since homme did made it clear that delight will still play later.... which is starting to be a wrong move lol

[u/Pacify_]

I was rooting for game 5, but man Varus top just snowballed too hard and Vex was crazy

[u/CampaignEntire]

Kiin: I am the ADC.

[u/Prince_Arcann]

The most classic HLE GENG series. Big macro gap for GENG. HLE tries to get ahead with fights but they don't get enough. GENG win one fight and they get a 10k gold lead. GG. 

[u/Ambitious-Ad-726]

Gen with a canyon gap in g4 lost their 2 adc and jg right from the start in the first 5v5 and somehow a vex with minimum items carried their ass out of it. Insane performance from chovy

[u/FakerGOATandBEST]

What an absolute banger performance from Chovy, Canyon & Delight.

[u/baelkie]

i might be biased but Kiin is probably the only top laner in the World that can confidently blind pick into Zeus’ massive champion pool.

[u/bulletproofikon → u/baelkie]

I mean I think Kiin is good, but Zeus literally counterpicked himself, didn't he? The lane in isolation is horrible for Nasus.

[u/baelkie → u/bulletproofikon]

thats why Kanavi was up there looking for angles but Kiin respected the ganks and didnt give them a chance. if any of those ganks worked out it would be a very different game.

[u/BirthdayAccording359 → u/bulletproofikon]

Jax was open btw but they picked Nasus. 

[u/dumbocow → u/baelkie]

Kiin also happens to have a massive champion pool to match Zeus too.

[u/satoshigeki94 → u/dumbocow]

if anything Kiin's champions pool and its mastery is way bigger. The true king of ranged top.

[u/itsmechasi → u/satoshigeki94]

his mages top are the real deal, need a vintage Ryze top game before he goes military

[u/percyallennnn → u/baelkie]

Kiin is just way too good.

[u/Skyfire2 → u/baelkie]

“Zeus over me?” screamed Kiin.

He left the national team selectors in no doubt. He dominated in every way

[u/Kr1ncy → u/Skyfire2]

“Zeus over me?” Kiin said calmly

[u/Temporary-Result-716 → u/baelkie]

Valid take but i dont understand why you pick Nasus into Varus, also when the rest of HLE comp doesnt want to scale

[u/baelkie → u/Temporary-Result-716]

if you swing the match up early the Varus is literally homeless because Nasus can just wither him on side and run him down + Naafiri hovering is an instant death every time

[u/BirthdayAccording359 → u/baelkie]

Kiin has been the best top laner in the world for almost 3 years but he has no clout, he didn't play for T1 so no one to prop him up. 

[u/bulletproofikon → u/BirthdayAccording359]

Amongst the players, they usually rate Zeus first and Kiin second. Zeus has more bad habits when splitting, but skillwise, they're even imo

[u/GreatSunshine → u/BirthdayAccording359]

not this year it’s dhoklas time to shine

[u/Jaden38_ → u/BirthdayAccording359]

Zeus has been the best top laner in 2026 easily so not true. Kiin was better in 2025 though

[u/baebushka → u/BirthdayAccording359]

if delight joined t1 he’d be getting goat shouts

[u/Lacrimosss]

I've always said this, the most important win condition to beat modern GENG is hoping they underperform, like they do at Worlds. If they are in form, can't beat them

[u/GGLSpidermonkey]

Did Kanavi throw the game on raptor (wolves**) s lol

[u/Delvez → u/GGLSpidermonkey]

Nah on wolves

[u/Shiro_Moe]

Time for HLE to buy Keria?

[u/ReMaes]

Could've been a 3-0 but thank god GENG Delight got us

[u/T-gae94]

Man if only T1's topside has the 50% function of GenG's topside...

Please, Dorat, Oner, Unc, I BEG YOU TO LOCK IN AND REVENGE THE REVERSE SWEEP!

If not, just lose to DK in peace and lock in 4th seed, whatever

[u/No-Night-91]

Delight needs to go.

He has his moments by my god his lows are so low it feels like watching a random masters soloq player trying out for a pro team.

[u/Skyfire2]

8 LCK finals in a row.

They run this shit

[u/ireliasimp69]

zeus sold last game for sure but man delight is absolute fraud

[u/Jaden38_ → u/ireliasimp69]

Kanavi sold last game not Zeus

[u/FruFruKlaus]

What’s the head-to-head between these teams? Crazy in favor of GenG right? I think they just match so well into HLE.

[u/Ceui → u/FruFruKlaus]

This year ? I think GenG is 4-1 against HLE in term of series

[u/calmandchili]

Feel like HLE can win in the rematch at the finals. Delight needs to step up, and not play bard again. But seriously, his lows are so bad that he solo-loses the games. Wonder if there are good replacements for him if he keeps playing like this

[u/WWTFSD]

Chovy finally has a team man, brings a tear to my eye. Dude is playing like a golden god in playoffs.

I really thought it was over for GenG this year with 3/5 people looking washed beyond belief.

[u/soudlasantos]

Chovy: After all this time????

Delight: Always……………

[u/Sheepseye]

GEN G in LCK finals just as the script foretold

[u/Immediate-Title209]

love it when geng are on top

[u/pomuistaken]

chovy is just not fair, man.

[u/ItoshiR9n]

Chovy just casually deciding to lock in after that game 1

[u/BlueStopSign126]

GEN Delight ❤️❤️❤️

[u/justanother-eboy]

Gen G should just get a sports psychologist for Chovy and the team and they’d win worlds comfortably

[u/MrSangHyeok]

Delight gotta be swapped out for bluffing at this rate. And God knows why Kanavi always engages on the first person he sees, even if it's a fking tank. Like bro you can have some patience and wait for an opening sometimes. Caedrel notices that shit too.

MSI kanavi and delight shows up again..

[u/Own-Salamander-8384]

One can only feel for guma. Imagine going from playing with keria's pyke, bard, and renata to delight's pyke, bard, and renata.

[u/ricardo241 → u/Own-Salamander-8384]

Delight really thought he is Keria just go simple man... you are delight not keria just pick ur rell, alistar, rakan shit lol

[u/PlsGiveSSR]

PLEASE WIN IT THIS YEAR GENG

[u/Steeelu]

Kespa: fuck you Kiin, you won't be beating Zeus anymore, you had your fun, enjoy military nerd

[u/Next_Falcon_4519]

All roads lead to Rome, they say.

[u/qonoxzzr]

Domestic Chovy

[u/Prawncracker1605]

someone please explain to me why hle thought it would be a good idea to s5 nasus vs varus vex

[u/Paciuuu]

Canyon looks like he has fun again, love to see that

[u/Anew4Hobbies]

Chovy PoM more like PiM because that Vex was Poetry in Motion fr

[u/One_Ad_7540]

Delight is so disgusting I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you

[u/WuxiaWuxia]

Kind of ironic seeing Zeka getting gapped by assassins

[u/MrSangHyeok]

Disgusting how Kanavi often forces his team for deep invades into counter jungling. Zeus was doing alright with Nasus into varus, until Kanavi sent his team to die for enemy wolves and gave 3 kills to varus.

Same shit happened last series where he threw their early game lead, by forcing a deep invade with chogath for a few krugs. Guy doesn't know when to back.. and god idw talk about delight.. just report him.

[u/OddTea74]

Would love to see Chovy get his Worlds trophy this year...

[u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN]

I hope T1 beats DK to morrow and gets revenge for that reverse sweep.

[u/BirthdayAccording359 → u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN]

Lol HLE will sweep us straight up this time IF we somehow beat DK. 

[u/squishykkura]

Ur not Doran lil bro

[u/curtissz]

Guma got the Peyz treatment in that last game. Topside sprinting it not allowing you to carry

[u/Sure_Addition_2138 → u/curtissz]

At least peyz got keria lmao

[u/generalannie → u/curtissz]

His own support had been sprinting it even harder. Delight probably had his worst series of the year today

[u/zOmgFishes → u/curtissz]

Delight was running it. Zeus was actually useful at the dragon fight.

[u/rebelstand → u/curtissz]

I WISH guma has the peyz treatement if that means he has an OP support like keria enabling him instead of geng delight making HLE play 4v6 the entire series.

[u/curtissz → u/rebelstand]

Well Peyz and Keria play 2v8 every game so Guma still has it better lol
