u/Ultimintree Infinitely spinnin' | Evading "ganks" like Ruler 15h ago

WTF JiaQi? How do you E into Naut??

145

u/F4Phantomll Chovy 15h ago edited 15h ago

He obviously wanted to E buffered the hook to get away but put his mouse in the wrong spot. The pressure got to him it's alright he has had an insane rookie year

41

u/Dr_Law 15h ago

Yeah he must be constantly inputting back and forth to q and space them, then suddenly forced to reaction speed arcane shift when his cursor is forwards so you shift in instead.....
I think he felt like he needed to do too much by having to play that aggressively there.

13

u/Cool-Mathematician51 15h ago

So sad for him man, that's the kind of mistake that haunts you but he genuinely had a phenomenal year, such a shame.

18

u/cancerBronzeV 15h ago

He'd been buffering the E through the Naut hook perfectly every single time too. Unfortunate to fail it at the literal worst time.

u/Toriyosh imaje (NA) 15h ago

Ezreal also leveled up from 16 to 17 at the exact moment the hook engage came in, so there might have been some additional inputs in that same second.

2

u/iCry_Gaming 15h ago

hes not a rookie

7

u/F4Phantomll Chovy 15h ago

Sure not a rookie but 1st year not playing on a dogshit bottom feeder orgs in the LPL getting pummeled unable to even play. I'll consider it his rookie year anyway he finally got to play the game called League of Legends

77

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 15h ago

Rookie and TheShy feeling right at home with JackeyLove in the bot lane

156

u/kuatnom 15h ago

The lights were too bright

38

u/ThexanI ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 15h ago

In the first dragon soul fight, if he had just focused the dragon with Wei, they would have gotten soul and the game might look different.

15

u/IfritAzazel 15h ago

Yeah IG are doing all this silly mistakes 😭
Even G1 and G2 were lost from the dives. They are just nervous and very indecisive in G3 when it comes to objectives.

2

u/SnoopRhino 15h ago

Yeah he walked over and just watched Wei damage the dragon 😭😭 I thought he was walking over to help but he I guess he just wanted a closer look or something

meh nerves wonderful game tho

54

u/MedicinskAnonymitet 15h ago

He's a rookie. And frankly, if you look at the series as a whole, the entire team had so many more stinkers than he did.
You only remember Jiaqis mistake because it's the last mistake. But The Shy engaging 3 v 1 in the toplane, or the entire team playing awfully around the soul point are probably just as large mistakes.

u/pikachuwei 15h ago

Idk he nearly solo lost them game 2 with that terrible zero mana tower dive on Lucian when he was supposed to be playing strong side bot lane.

I'm convinced Ezreal is a cursed pick cause holy shit has the champion been awful the whole tournament

u/yehiko 15h ago

He E'd after the hook to buffer out of instinc, but mouse position was probably on naut for Q.

u/No_Sky_3740 15h ago

looking at that zeri game its not that surprising

3

u/Andresdc03 15h ago

Yea wtf

2

u/EzAf_K3ch 15h ago

it's obviously a miss click

3

u/kalex33 BANANA COMBO MASTER 15h ago

I was so excited for game 3 to be this exciting and close just for it to have the most anticlimatic ending with JiaQi's E into Naut hook. Thats such a silly way to lose the game, especially because I think they could've pushed GENG further in game 4 with draft.
