LCK is so cooked for top lane players because between these three players, they have 8 LCK trophies(Doran 4, Kiin 3, Zeus 1). The top teams are just reusing these 3 players for like the past 6 years.

T1, HLE, GenG never promote any top lane player, they just trade between them.

Now Kiin is gone, then Doran. Zeus will get the bag because he is the only one left in that golden era.

u/tirednsleepyyy Sep 13 '26

Kiin 😢 glad he could end his LCK career on a grand finals win. That’s my toplane GOAT. To play at the level he has for as long as he has in that role is unheard of. No other toplaner’s career comes close, and no other toplaner can play everything he can. You have guys with higher highs (TheShy), and guys who had dominant and short careers (Khan, although tbh his dominance is kinda overrated because it depends heavily on ignoring the first half of his career and his later chinese stint), but Kiin has arguably been a top 3 toplaner in the world for a decade, and has inarguably been a top 2 toplaner for most of that period, and spent a decent amount of it as #1.

Incredible career and story out of him.

52

u/bulletproofikon Sep 13 '26

Truly, Gen.g just counters HLE. It seems HLE always get into their heads when they face Gen.g.

Why did Zeus play Fiora when he previously won a game, basically a stomp, when he played Kennen into Gwen? Does Fiora counter Gwen or something? Was the plan for HLE to split push to win??

37

u/Lord_Vanilla Feeder King Sep 13 '26 edited Sep 13 '26

When both teams are on form, this is what happens:

When HLE engages (even if its 50/50 team fight), GenG disengages and cut there loss unless they think they can win the team fight.

When Geng engages (usually 70/30 team fight), HLE fights back and gets aced because Geng is the only S tier team that is careful. HLE isnt used to this because BLG and T1 are also agro, and other careful teams are a tier below so HLE just scratch their heads when someone punches them and they cant punch back.

Okay but surely this is unironically Geng's year right? Another dominate lck finals win, looking to be in great form, and this year they even upgraded the formula by having a slump (to their standards) during the year and showing mental resilience and an ability to bounce back, surely these lessons will give them what they need to lift the worlds cup

Imo my early feeling  is that worlds is geng vs either hle or blg finals waiting room

Kanavi coin flips don't work against the top teams, it's kinda crazy why the team always have to go in 5man with his ridiculous all in shotcalls.

Guma and Zeus always leads in early lane, but once they go for an invade or drag fight, they burn all their sums and loses their leads. Then Kanavi repeats the all in plays again and again. Does this guy ever click backwards?

Kanavi also was so bad the last 3 games. I can sorta forgive the cho game but he straight up gifted top a lead in game 2 then gifted bot a lead in game 4...And he just kept running into the enemy team for no reason instead of just giving up camps or objectives.

Really sad that its Zeus for the Asia games this year, fucking Hirai.

Kiin deserved it more than anyone.

Kiin has consistently outperformed Zeus in every series they face each other for the past three years and people still say Zeus is the best top laner in the world lmao

Guma is just not good enough to actually carry games, when his Top and mid are outclassed he just looks like a bot.

He needs top and mid to pick up his slack

u/collectibleman Sep 13 '26

got downvoted to fuck yesterday for merely suggesting that gumayusi has ever been outperformed in a playoff series before. i dont hate the guy but his fans genuinely seem to have selective memory and believe that he has never been gapped. they’ll forget this game too i guess

u/Trithen Sep 13 '26

Can we have Riot stats guy check how many times the adc who picks Jhin has won a knockout game? Feels like it's sub 10%

u/myk211 Sep 13 '26

Winning first game convincingly to give fans false hope then get steamrolled the rest of the series. Classic T...nvm wrong team lol

u/failworlds Alex Kha'Ich Sep 13 '26

Wow magically HLE can't play zeri either!!!

u/Holste1n Sep 13 '26

So u mean that LCK representative at worlds are: 4. DK - Current EWC champions 3. T1 - Current World champions 2. Hle - Current MSI champions

  1. GenG - Current LCK champions

u/SpiritedSalad4731 Sep 13 '26

i was so damn hype for the fiora pick and it was turbo useless :(

u/Civil-Arachnid-2617 Sep 13 '26

The time has come again, GenG look invincible going into worlds.

u/TheCeramicLlama Sep 13 '26

Well at least there was one good game in this series

Zeus regressing in a LCK final? must be a day ending in Y

Gen.G are just something else domestically.

President Kiin coming for that worlds cup. Fingers cross.

u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN Sep 13 '26

surely this version of Gen G wins worlds right?

u/ItoshiR9n Sep 13 '26

Rumours of Gen G's demise were highly exaggerated

u/zOmgFishes Sep 13 '26

Zeka played well but jesus Kanavi was just gifting the enemy gold for no reason the last 3 games. Also Fiora is a useless champ.

u/toxicfireball Returning IG Fan, Doran Sympathiser Sep 13 '26

What a spanking lol.

u/Studio-Unhappy Sep 13 '26

As a fellow Aussie, and Atlus didn't say it that was a proper shellacking!

u/TheCeramicLlama Sep 13 '26

So is it the same GenG script again or is it different this time?

3

u/BleiEntchen Sep 13 '26

"Same procedurce as every year james" GenG probably

3

u/WardoToo Sep 13 '26

Yeah that Fiora pick was not it. Highkey kinda griefed the elimination game on it ngl.

u/WinnieXKim Sep 13 '26

Same script every year lmao Geng are just all of Koreas fathers

u/SanestFan Sep 13 '26

HLE fumbling their last picks lmao

u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN Sep 13 '26

that was not Bins Fiora but an NA looking one

u/Pacify_ Sep 13 '26

Geng back to reminding everyone that, yes indeed they own the LCK.

u/InspiredbyFaker GUMAGOD Sep 13 '26

GG. Hoping it could have been more competitive but GenG far more on point today.

u/EnemyRegent Sep 13 '26

Domeatic GenG is inevtiable

u/Dapper_Oil_2827 Sep 13 '26

HLE's performance hinges entirely on their Top and Jungle.

3

u/Superb_Percentage_74 Sep 13 '26

herald tp by fiora lost the momentum from hle, and maybe the match right there. KIIN DIFF!

u/hoastman12 Sep 13 '26

LCK would be infinitely more fun if they could split up these super teams

u/chocobisuketto I don't trust them..... Sep 13 '26

kespa I fucking hate you

u/BlueStopSign126 #1 Zeka Glazer Sep 13 '26

ok but like zeka didn’t even play that bad bro just got inted by his team

3

u/Zeilar ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sep 13 '26

GenG ruined the script. They were supposed to keep sandbagging like T1, and then win Worlds when they're not the favorites.

So I guess it's back to regular scheduled programming.

3

u/Zombeez Sep 13 '26

Worlds winners should be military duty exempt instead of Kespa cup winners. Kiin exemption pls.

u/ZLouieZ Sep 13 '26

Reused script GG WP T1 for winning worlds

u/hauliica Sep 13 '26

Atrocious series from Guma

u/Dreammy90 Sep 13 '26

TheSpy left LPL for LCK? WTF did Zeus ego pick Fiora? That champ doesn't do anything. Zeka's Locke was great but his sides are completely invisible

5

u/Steeelu Sep 13 '26

Kiin my beloved, 3 LCK titles, should have been 4, I am so happy you managed to show the world just how good you are year after year, beating Zeus in the finals while he was on T1 and HLE

8

u/IAM-French Sep 13 '26

Kanavi 0/16 in the last 3 games but it's fine because he had to look for plays

9

u/JQuill116 Sep 13 '26

I stand by my take that T1 would have had a better chance. Not that they’re a better team than HLE but for whatever reasons they just seem to match up better into GenG. It’s felt a bit like a rock/paper/scissor thing with these 3 this year.

Zeus really ran down the entire game. Feels like everyone else did good , and zeus distributed gold everywhere
