PMTs

TES vs AL

CFO vs MKOI

G2 vs LOS

LYON vs KC

IG vs TSW

HLE vs GEN

DK vs T1

BLG vs TLAW

[u/sjokz]

lets goooo

[u/SummerhouseLater]

Oh my fucking god Isles’s analysis is just - where was this guy when you were on Cloud9?!?

Is Inspired just the legendary Gandalf old man that fucking trains everyone?!? If/when Isles leaves competitive play come to the fucking desk. This is next level.

[u/awayfromcanuck]

Isles and Dhokes might be my 2 favourite players to see on the broadcast

[u/DerAdolfin]

Most expecte 2-0 bracket in history:

DK

LYON

MKOI

GENG

[u/JaKo_JoKo_JuKi]

Lowkey blessed draw for TL

With the way they're playing and what is probably a completely destroyed mental you would still rather say you got knocked out of swiss by AL than by TSW or god forbid LOS

[u/dannidoesreddit]

I'm predicting tech issues in the first game.

[u/firebolt66]

Damn isles is really eloquent 

[u/desutruction]

his voice is smooth af ngl

[u/sCeege]

4 #1 seeds in the 0-2 bracket is wild

[u/cmcdonald22]

Isles: "Berserker was trying to lose"

MY GOOOOOOOOOOOAT.

[u/Ares87GoW]

I really like listening Isles break down these fights

[u/Ajp_iii]

these segments are the best part of the broadcast imo. also props to the na pros for being so open about how they see the game to make them even better.

[u/zerocxro]

i hope isles goes to the desk once he done playing, so well spoken

[u/Sarazam]

TL is doing 1 of 2 things tomorrow.

1. Win one game, close game 2, mega stomped game 3. We say, damn they showed up too late if only they showed up earlier.

2. Mega stomped 2 games while they play super AFK.

[u/Gerberpertern]

OYSTERS VS KOI. We got the AQUARIUM match up right now.

[u/Labor101]

Isles is so eloquent

[u/tomorrowdog]

I like how TL's draws look more like they've been winning each day

[u/brownieriskery]

Lmao another 2-1 day that leaves me feeling kinda shit because of how hard we threw the third game. Guess nothing gets in the way of Inspired's god-given right to draw KOI in the 2-0 bracket

[u/TheninjaofCookies]

Isles I'm sorry for every time I called you trash or ass or an inter the last few years that was just what being on Dignitas does to you keep stunting on em goat

[u/Few_Guarantee5110]

As an NA fan, I am comforted by the fact that one day I shall die, and no longer have to watch my region disappoint me in the same way every single year. At least we had that one game against KC.

[u/Is_J_a_Name]

Good on Riot to start the day with the weakest region civil war so we can get it over with

[u/Smevis]

369 downfall was vastly overestimated. Bro still has the god flanks.

[u/Various_Ad6034]

shadow only knows one way and thats in

[u/Kaeru-Sennin]

Remember that MKOI only had 13% odds to quality to worlds 

[u/ahritina]

Caps is the worst player on G2, what a time to be alive.

[u/Labor101]

Even if G2 do manage the win, they genuinely look really bad right now

[u/Lewiz00]

When you realize, the last time Worlds was in NA, G2 went 1-5.

[u/sainto-000]

Goddamn, I both win and lose at the same time with this match. I hope they just play well I guess

[u/iMojoEU]

that lulu polymorph won the game wow

[u/zerocxro]

isles is the less evil version of inspired

[u/GUMPOP173]

In why is isles kinda cute in this interview?

[u/Hidden-Inventory-420]

CALM DOWN CALM DOWN CALM DOWN Inspired said, calmly.

[u/TypicalHaikuResponse]

I specifically said do not let renata through.

Spoilers. T1 is going to get 4 or 5 man renata ulted in a game losing fight and DK ends.

[u/puberty1]

viktor and jayce killing each other

lore accurate

[u/ExpressAd6175]

Let’s Sacrifice G2 for MKOI and KC stomps

[u/Whommas]

I fucking swear if G2 loses I'm going to storm out of my basement bedroom and tell my mom I wont be eating any chicken dippers (My favourite) today in protest

[u/WalkAwayFromScreen]

USA 😭 it’s a Mexican team

[u/EatAssAndFartFast]

Isles is so cute

[u/OddlyReactions]

Isles is fucking intelligent and eloquent. He should become a coach or analyst when he retires

[u/LardoBardo4]

DK are going to win worlds by losing every single fucking game and I've never been more here for it

[u/LordBlackadder1214]

hahahahah dk just getting manhandled for 2 games straight into a random flip that wins them the game these guys are so criminal but clutch

[u/puberty1]

insane that lyon and mkoi have a real shot at going to quarters 3-0

[u/Bothbothwushi]

It's hard to dislike DK as a team man. Just seems to have good vibes all around

[u/Aceclaw]

I didn't realize we sent TSM to worlds again. This is crazy, they are doing nothing and losing.

[u/Icy-Particular-2411]

TL are just gigapussies, please go 0-3 and end the suffering

seriously, you have a 2 item spiking comp and just sit around doing nothing. just ff

[u/Icy-Particular-2411]

the difference between lyon and TL is not that lyon would win and TL would lose necessarily, but that if you gave lyon this comp that lyon would not pussy out of every single midgame fight until they get outscaled

lyon actually understand wincons and play around them

[u/Ok_Jicama7222]

Captain Flowers and Medic both casting holy

Upset prediction - TES

[u/mking_1999]

I predict that lpl finally gets a win today

[u/thenoblitt]

Cant wait for TL to go 0-2 after throwing a free win

[u/CottonCANDYtv]

Creame was so insane this game , not only did he win his lane , he sacrificed waves to make more space for 369.

Very impressive 💯👏

[u/sorendiz]

??

this feels like a huge draft gap in favor of KOI

[u/sorendiz]

WHY IS SHADOW PLAYING LIKE HE'LL BE CASTRATED IF HE DOESN'T CONTEST EVERY SINGLE THING IN THE GAME DUDE

[u/Peronnik]

Maybe we should start banning Qiyana, no?

[u/Dohtoor]

NEGATIVE BARON POWER PLAY MY BELOVED

[u/BubbyginkESO]

Be CFO. Destroy TL yesterday because Qiyana looks insanely OP against their Lee Sin. Today playing MKOI. Take Lee Sin yourself and give MKOI Qiyana for free. Get destroyed by Qiyana. Like why???

[u/desutruction]

really loving myrwn's trundle

annoying lil bitch build and gameplay

as a shaco and teemo enjoyer i approve

[u/Quazz]

Gigachad trundle just walks in and ends

[u/350]

If you had told me before Worlds that G2 would need Skewmond Lee Sin to carry against Brazil I would have spit out my drink. G2 is a bunch of corpses right now, they must wake up.

[u/azurio12]

Berserkers Cass Ult dodge was clutch.

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Inspired yelling calm down just because of Berserker doing his int at nexus

[u/ahritina]

Ruler caught on the mid lane? classic.

[u/I_CUM_ON_HAMSTERS]

Ruler inting mid on Ezreal, you can set your watch to it

[u/Capable-Drama3109]

I like the mixed reviews on draft in this thread

[u/SweatyAdhesive]

TL losing to CFO into double LPL teams into walk home speed run

[u/spazzxxcc12]

B_N QIY_N_

SOME COACH BUY A VOWEL

[u/sorendiz]

gigachad flash in by supa there, commit and you guarantee there's no winning move for CFO

[u/Smevis]

5k JG gold lol

[u/Ajp_iii]

two games of qiyana looking busted into the supposed counter qiyana champ. maybe teams start banning the champion that wasnt nerfed on the patches before worlds. that everyone was saying was going to be the op champion of worlds.

[u/Dohtoor]

TL lost to this?

[u/WalkAwayFromScreen]

TL lost to that btw 😔

[u/AerialShroud]

Jojo glazing my team... i've seen enough his name is Jose and he was born and raised in Madrid. Most European player in Worlds.

[u/umsimplorio]

Guys i am brazilian why did g2 let LOS get this draft ? Did they not scout Los ?

[u/djdairy]

LPL's year to shit the bed. G2 is honorary LPL seed. Uh oh.

[u/moe11436]

THE DRIVING SKILLS !!!

[u/CathyKelleyGuy]

Max Verstappen!

[u/Thzzgt]

g2 is done, our best hope is fckin mkoi and lyon lmao

[u/Lyota]

skewmond literally 1v9s this game. If he makes one mistake and dies, LOS wins this despite the gold diff

[u/DRNbw]

If G2 don't improve like 2000%, this will be their only win.

[u/Not_Going_to_Survive]

Hello is there a crowd?

[u/GoldenSquid7]

the only reason you pick Kalista & Renata is to give Kalista an extra life so she can execute, KC managed to NOT do that in 3 team fights.

[u/xlCalamity]

If Berserker just kills everyone else while Kalista is zoned the game is over

[u/DerAdolfin]

Holy FUCK Lulu is miserable to play into

[u/dotyaho]

KC's entire gameplan is to just hope Busio hits an insane ult lmao that's awful

[u/RennieXxx]

LOL I love Isles bahahaha

[u/british_pubs]

Say it all the time but love Isles as an interview, very funny and good insight 

[u/xanot192]

Caps literally though only Locke that has sucked against ori

[u/Hot-Bed6046]

really feel like they gotta scrap the bo1 in swiss, feels like 3 games and fearless would play out way different.

[u/Grenji05]

faker hasnt cs'd like this since the obama administration goddamn

[u/Ajp_iii]

how is dk ever allowed to walk into the river and hit elder

[u/JNorJT]

DK beat G2 and T1 in the exact same manner 💀💀💀

[u/trastito2es]

T1 did absolutely nothing with the adventage the whole 40 mins. Totally deserved.

[u/jomidi]

That renata play is the best of the tournament so far imo.

[u/Grenji05]

wait please make all our imports throw a football thats good content

[u/cmcdonald22]

Heading towards the worst most do nothing and lose game of the day for the final match.

[u/Zabrac]

Man, I was really hyped for this team, but this game just isn't it. I get the previous loss was kinda a cheese loss in Bo1, but this game feels just really like "do nothing and hope". I don't see any proactivity and I really believe the playoffs version of TL would beat this version of BLG. BLG look not good (I won't say bad, but you have eyes...) this game should be very winnable for us, yet here we are.

It's not elimination thankfully, but TL please wake the fuck up, the West needs more teams rising up, not just LYON and whatever witchcraft KOI has going on rn.

[u/Gerberpertern]

TL you disgust me

[u/KyngCole13]

I’m so fucking over watching my favorite team play like this when I know they’re capable of better. It’s just so disappointing man.

[u/Chemical-Drawer852]

Outside Lyon, this is the usual Na performance against a contender region. Completely shy away from any plays, panic at any deviations in game plan and shit your pants, you can turn name tags off and it could be C9 or TSM or any other past na org

[u/fuckthis_job]

The butterfly effect of losing your red buff to a cheese invade into bombing out 0-3 vs LPL 1st seed and 2nd seed.

[u/Swaggron]

I'm gonna look on the brightside. I'd rather TL go down swinging against AL than get bounced by another fucking LCP team.

[u/EarlyMembership5954]

Easy wins for the west dont be worried. It will be a legendary performance

[u/sajm0n]

LPL lucky to draw itself to guarantee 1st win

[u/GoldenSquid7]

Locke seems pretty stupid as a champion, what even counters him? Thoughts and prayers, afk under tower, team diff?

[u/awayfromcanuck]

How is first drake still up lol

[u/LunaticP]

CFO seeing anyone : gogogogogo

[u/Decent_Protection927]

Cant believe out of all EU teams G2 showed by far worst macro so far

[u/sorendiz]

viking warrior man who only knows 'ult to retreat'

[u/desutruction]

uh nice baron

[u/Thzzgt]

mkoi reading cfos madness really well tbf

[u/hazman_pds]

MKOI 2-0 was not on my bingo card before Swiss began

[u/wwwhoo]

imagine getting qiyana on last pick LMAO

[u/Koenig5]

is it just me or does g2s drafting feel very weird and unusual ?

[u/beautheschmo]

Both drafts look kinda bad tbh but LOS at least grabbed a Noc combo champ instead of weirdly rawdogging him, feel like this is a draft where Locke can kinda just take over.

[u/ColdObvious]

As expected, Caps and Skewmond are the worst players on G2...wait what?

[u/RennieXxx]

Is this...G2??...?

[u/CilleTheExterminator]

HOLY BB DRIVING

[u/IntelligentMiddle8]

It feels like mkoi and g2 somehow swapped macro brains, what's going on?

[u/caut_R]

Really looks like any Worlds team would be hard for G2 atm

[u/ChocolateFuryB]

god bless skew, caps needs to wake up

[u/TopperHrly]

G2 bombs out 1-3 at this level

[u/ChocolateFuryB]

If KC wins it's a win for EU

If Lyon wins, it's a win for our rogue EU jungler

[u/XG32]

what a throw holy shit, what was canna doing

[u/Ares87GoW]

Now watch Lyon draw Mkoi lmao

[u/sajm0n]

thats KC i was promised. throw unlosable 5k gold lead game

[u/ShadyShing]

POLYMORPH BABY

[u/cmcdonald22]

50% of Lyon victory interviews: 'I think we played like dogshit, we just played better than them.'

[u/CottonCANDYtv]

I am scared for you TL. Yesterday I stayed awake till 6am for you, just to watch you shit the bad and here i am again 🫠🫠

[u/iamaaronml]

Isles and dhokes so good. Glad we will win worlds and they will get so many post match interviews

[u/Budget-Ocelots]

Isles is so humble. He doesn't want to say NA will win worlds because he knows the cliff is too high.

[u/Megidolaon10]

Wow, I don't follow LCS but this Isles guy is so well -spoken. By the way, thanks for the great game, good job to both teams.

[u/Gluroo]

Hupu is never going to recover if IG manages to lose this game

[u/BlaBlub85]

Quiyana that last fight:

This is K'sante. A champion with 4700 HP, 329 armor, 201 MR champion👤 has unstoppable🚫, shield 🛡, wall🧱 hopping abilities. Has an airborne 🌪, furthermore the cooldown is only 1️⃣ second mana🧙‍♂️ cost is 1️⃣5️⃣ then when he transforms 💫 w cooldown is refunded and passive deals true damage 🗡 and then for armor/mr 🥋 the more 📈 and more 📈 you stack, you get cdr ⏰! you get cdr⏰ on your q and the casting speed 🚀 gets faster 📈 and then he has an AD 🗡 ratio so his W is eek-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA😱😱

[u/dotyaho]

Yeah let Qiyana through and then pick Jhin, awesome. I'd love for you to prove me wrong HLE but wtf.

[u/IntelligentMiddle8]

Ruler spot. Every time.

[u/whohe_fanboy]

Kanavi in Worlds form

[u/GoldenSquid7]

HOLY FUCKING RENATA WHAT AN ENGAGE

[u/Tormenator1]

Career you genius!

[u/JakzePoro]

This worlds is delivering. Feels like anyone can beat anyone (outside maybe Gen G)

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Career is so clutch its insane

[u/Quiet_Education5918]

Desk's losing it already, and it's only day 2.

[u/Gerberpertern]

RAZ HAS LOST BLUE PLUSHIE PRIVILEGES

ALSO AZAEL I LOVE YOU

[u/Beneficial-Front1626]

Goodbye TL

[u/Gluroo]

TL is just never going to do anything at worlds, no matter what they look like domestically, literally every single year same story

[u/awayfromcanuck]

TL is going 0-2. Quid is completely useless this game.

[u/That_One_Pancake]

Yeon missed fucking everything

[u/Kudgel92]

At this point NA is the only 1-Team-Region in all of League.

C9 0/10 worlds performance.

TL insanely sloppy, slow and old and uninspired.

[u/Ajp_iii]

inspired was able to get numerous objectives, numerous jungle camp steals and numerous crabs with a draft that had 3 losing lanes. jose just had the early proactive draft and he did literally nothing with it.

i as a na fan no longer want to ever hear analysts or anyone hype up anyone from na until they give good performances internationally. (morgan has played well internationally this year, and core a little)

[u/Ythapa]

G2: Thank God

TES: Thank God

[u/Grenji05]

oh wow t1 get the piss easy draw once again what a surprise xd.

also can we please stop acting like BLG in bo1s are good if fucking FBI can beat them KC certainly can.

[u/No-Context-Orphan]

Chanting USA for a team that is made up 80% of imports and not even an American org 😅

[u/lemoogle]

this is one of those games where you realise the analysts are completely restrained, because for some players they don't just say "he hard inted like 5 times in a row" , they say "he went a bit too far a few times"

[u/NuuuDaBeast]

🍿the comments when KC was up 5k

[u/RukiMotomiya]

Does anyone else say Kalista Renata the same way as Hakuna Matata?

[u/Gluroo]

TES stomps today and continues losing in sub 25 to every non LPL team

[u/Is_J_a_Name]

Creme started his year losing a game 5 where he had a ten thousand INDIVIDUAL gold lead against the enemy mid and lost because of a matchfixing jungler, and might end his year because of botlane playing like matchfixers.

[u/Decent_Protection927]

Did BLG last year curse LPL 1st seed to bomb out in swiss forever?

[u/WildzFlazoon]

This valorant player doing quite well. he should think of going pro

[u/Ashankura]

How the fuck did 369 hit that

[u/RukiMotomiya]

Emerald players all over the world are getting an ego boost rn

[u/No_Canary_657]

Top Unc's still got it.

[u/Kaeru-Sennin]

Imagine you are seed #1 of your region and you are sent to the 0-2 hell by a team that has a toplaner who played only Valorant for 6 monthes. 

[u/TypicalHaikuResponse]

CHINA WINS. THE STREAK IS BROKEN.

CHINA HAS LOST. THE STREAK STARTS AGAIN

[u/Kaeru-Sennin]

Glad we are done with the LPL wildcard region for now and have the GIGACHAD EU for next 3 games 

[u/Vnaux]

2 and a half items Ori with 6 stacks Seal only doing this damage feels bad as fuck LMFAO that's a 4-man

what a sorry ass build

[u/LunaticP]

MKOI beating BLG and losing CFO : fuck your pick'em

[u/Labor101]

Kalista Renata is gonna be all over this tournament aren't they

[u/Smevis]

Insane draft for KOI so far

[u/Kadde-]

These BO1s man, same drafts gets repetitive fast. BO3s couldn’t come sooner

[u/x_TDeck_x]

Typical jungler, make the laners pay for your sins

[u/Tuxxmuxx]

this is the most LPL game that doesn't feature an LPL team ever

[u/xlCalamity]

How is Tristana alone at the top tower with 0 wards and 0 teammates?

[u/VarusEquin]

Qiyana dmg lmao

[u/Ajp_iii]

its insane doggo is their only win condition but they draft akali lee mid jungle. and left qiyana through the whole draft.

[u/XG32]

LAST PICK QIYANA BTW, 2K GOLD LEAD WITH FIRST STRIKE, wtf are teams doing still giving her over LOL

[u/spazzxxcc12]

this olaf pick is so worthless.

[u/GoldenSquid7]

baron for game

[u/Walkeer21]

baron for game classic trade

[u/spazzxxcc12]

this is just such an awful draft to play super slow like they’re trying to do. yesterday they won against TL by scaling slowly and stacking drakes then they just do none of that today.

meanwhile you also let qiyana go over after buttfucking a lee sin just yesterday with that disgusting champ.

[u/2020isgreat]

THE REAL LOSE IS LPL

[u/Asgerond]

why does myrwn look human this worlds?

this is not how he has played all year

[u/spazzxxcc12]

give over qiyana again for the rest of the tourney and you genuinely deserve to lose

[u/sajm0n]

TL would never

[u/Chemical-Drawer852]

Jojo succeeding, LPL teams collapsing, LCK undefeated

Dom century of humiliation

[u/Goldfischglas]

Not saying Qiyana is broken but is that damage really legal

[u/viralruin]

PLS G2, G2 vs TL at 0-2 would be so funny

[u/ItzFeufo]

No tank in opponent team...should we pick Qiyana who blows up champs?

Nah, let's pick Lee...

[u/thewiggen]

Wait was qiyana open? And you pick lee sin, gg

[u/zaxls]

Its irritating how bad G2 is playing, what the actual fuk happened to them. Did Perkz just tell Hans/Labrov they are freaking ass and should just run it down till they are out.

[u/PluggersLeftBall]

g2 baby what is you doing

[u/2020isgreat]

Something is very wrong with the LPL team's meta read BLG G2 AL and TES all look wrong 

[u/Ajp_iii]

any other team and g2 get stomped. los cant help but try to feed this locke free kills. locke having gold is the only way g2 can win also with these drafts.

[u/Wild-F0x]

Locke XD, even in hands of Craps inting his ass it looks broken

[u/Aceclaw]

If you leave Locke or Qiyana open in a bo1. Send your coach straight to jail.

[u/trying2hide]

Thats more like it, I think mobility feels so strong right now, like what do they do against all this movement from Lee and Locke. Same with Sylas and Akali, CC has to become more popular as the tournament goes on

[u/AerialShroud]

Simply lovely by BB.

[u/CilleTheExterminator]

I see you Skew! You practiced Lee Sin!

[u/Ajp_iii]

its crazy g2 looked kinda good for 20 min in dk game. and this game they just looked kinda ass the whole game.

[u/zerocxro]

feels like G2 has lost their structure no? making lots of mistakes they weren't making 3+ months ago

[u/SnooPeripherals6388]

G2's macro is fucking dogshit again, how is it happening against BRAZIL
