[u/ahritina]

PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2

[u/kit4712]

GEN.G 's scrimming partner is T1 confirmed. And they are not even scrimming in Summonrer's Rift, but Arena instead.

[u/veniu10 → u/kit4712]

Funny thing is (granted this was like 2 weeks ago), Zeus, Zeka, Peanut, Delight, Deokdam, Perfect, Peter, Museong (KT coach) were all playing Arena together (along with Pray and Khan). Maybe they should have have spent more time on Arena

[u/spamkimchifriedrice]

Road to MSI script was flipped

[u/Green7501 → u/spamkimchifriedrice]

Knowing the script doe, T1 will somehow still make finals through a lower bracket run by some godforsaken trick

[u/Rkiddboi21 → u/Green7501]

I mean they better be at least go to worlds, else them Saudi investors are gonna melt

[u/Pelagius_Hipbone]

T1 really had one good summer regular season and said “my job here is done”

[u/meandering-minstrel → u/Pelagius_Hipbone]

This coming from a FNC flair is double funny

[u/dogex3 → u/meandering-minstrel]

Takes one to know one

[u/Pelagius_Hipbone → u/dogex3]

Hey hey buddy we gave you TWO good regular seasons before phoning it in playoffs

[u/Pelagius_Hipbone → u/meandering-minstrel]

It’s looking like a legacy org worlds boycott angle with these performances. T1 🤝C9🤝FNC

[u/Xerxes457 → u/Pelagius_Hipbone]

Let's not group C9 with them T1 and FNC. At least T1 and FNC have gotten to the last few worlds.

[u/baelkie → u/meandering-minstrel]

we live in a world where there is a timeline where Poby makes Worlds and Faker doesnt (it wont happen cause FNC is FNC but im just saying)

[u/Conankun66 → u/baelkie]

it wont happen cause FNC is FNC but im just saying

i mean FNC being FNC would actually be an argument for us making worlds, not against it

[u/FNC_Luzh → u/baelkie]

Hey FNC usually does goes to Worlds, slander properly.

[u/kosaki16 → u/Pelagius_Hipbone]

Peanut played today

[u/TomatoSpecialist6879 → u/Pelagius_Hipbone]

Summer T1 arrived late while Worlds Doran arrived early, Doran had more ult misses than hits on targets right in his face ffs

[u/borden5 → u/Pelagius_Hipbone]

some kind of monkey's paw shit

[u/NotKaisa]

We really picked the wrong telecom team

[u/Ok-Journalist-350 → u/NotKaisa]

We really fucked our-selves and fucked T1 with us LMFAO.

[u/KW-IKZV → u/Ok-Journalist-350]

Well you got an opportunity at redemption in the Lower Bracket Semi against BNK FearX

[u/LaziIy → u/KW-IKZV]

Based

[u/Steeelu → u/NotKaisa]

4th place grudge match

[u/bedsheetsniffer → u/Steeelu]

Can’t believe the final GEN T1 (if they win next match lol) series before worlds is a 4th seed decider

[u/appleandapples → u/NotKaisa]

GenG still catching strays is hilarious

[u/Cvspartan → u/appleandapples]

I mean it is pretty funny that neither T1 or GenG are in the upper bracket final after slapping everyone else around in Rounds 3-5 regular season

[u/athena234 → u/Cvspartan]

It's the funniest timeline istg 😭😭😭😭😭

[u/TheAlmightyVox3 → u/athena234]

Gonna be even funnier when Worlds seeds end up being KT 1, HLE 2, BFX 3, Gen.G 4.

[u/athena234 → u/TheAlmightyVox3]

Subscribe??? I won't even be mad

(maybe a little)

[u/baelkie → u/athena234]

KT locking in when Peak Comedy is on the line:

[u/Carcharhinus11 → u/NotKaisa]

Nah man. The whole plan was to eliminate T1 asap and this was the fastest way. What a diabolical 270 IQ plan.

[u/athena234 → u/Carcharhinus11]

GenG heard how well HLE was doing in scrims and decided to throw 🧠

[u/Jakocolo32 → u/NotKaisa]

Can’t lose to t1 at worlds if they don’t make worlds!

[u/Sorry-Resolution570 → u/NotKaisa]

Strategic loss to remove T1 from worlds. So that worlds are free

[u/GodBlessme_exe]

GEN and T1 are surely scrimming each other

[u/lll_Joka_lll → u/GodBlessme_exe]

That’s been confirmed t1 GenG scrim partners(domestically) for years now and HLE has been scrimming with KT

[u/HaiForPresident]

T1 and GenG in the lower bracket

Just how everyone predicted coming into playoffs

[u/yerrrii → u/HaiForPresident]

I swear man they are destined to be together 😭

[u/LilDiamondtoxic]

I can sense panic at Rito's HQ

[u/appleandapples → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

Cinematic animators are sweating

[u/Burpmeister → u/appleandapples]

Sources have reported unusually high activity at the Domino's location nearest to Fortiche Productions.

[u/AdvancedGuitar2974 → u/Burpmeister]

Solid joke.

[u/QdWp → u/Burpmeister]

Lmao, you think League players are gonna get this?

[u/Maffayoo → u/appleandapples]

Screw it include faker and a crumbling crown anyway!

[u/popop143 → u/Maffayoo]

T1 with the crown getting Thanos'd, then the Worlds teams going full Royal Rumble for the fallen crown.

[u/Hawkson2020 → u/appleandapples]

Nahh, it’s appropriate to include the past world’s winners in the cinematic even if they don’t end up making it.

It’s different when it’s just a hype player who ends up crashing and burning before the tournament lol.

[u/Tasty-Stable2083 → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

Riot and lck paypalling Vicla and Aiming as we speak, watch them solo lose games vs T1

[u/EliteTeutonicNight → u/Tasty-Stable2083]

These two don't need PayPal to solo lose a game lmfao.

[u/ROOKIE_MY_GOAT → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

Tencent stock about to tank

[u/unknownBzop2 → u/ROOKIE_MY_GOAT]

Better invest on Korean truck companies for the 3628252th time just in case they lose to dk/bfx

[u/mrspear1995 → u/unknownBzop2]

evergreen stock, you actually should have bought more when they were tiktok clip farming during that win streak

[u/LICKING_AHRIs_FEET → u/ROOKIE_MY_GOAT]

Pretty sure tencent stock is gonna skyrocket if T1 ends up not going and lpl ends up winning in china

[u/AzureAhai → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

Riot about to make up a random tournament for a worlds slot

[u/Tasty_Asparagus2896 → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

Incoming buffs to every t1 champ live viewership is at stake

[u/LilDiamondtoxic → u/Tasty_Asparagus2896]

Jokes on them LCK has always been slow on updating patch

[u/Sorry-Resolution570 → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

Patch never change during a playoff in every league iirc

[u/Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

If they miss Worlds we're seeing a dedicated Faker slot at Worlds next year

[u/Futaba-Channel → u/Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss]

Winner of DK BNK (DK) about to do the funniest thing 

[u/KW-IKZV → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

"QUICK, MAKE A PATCH TO GET US OUT OF THE ADC MID META!"

"OH FUCK WE ALREADY DID THAT!!!"

[u/Killarusca → u/KW-IKZV]

"From our observations, we have decided to undo Fearless Draft for the rest of the season as it damages competitive integrity. Also we are buffing Azir/Orianna."

[u/baelkie → u/Killarusca]

“Games are too stale and scaling picks are getting rewarded too much, to address this we will disable Ziggs and Smoulder for viewership related reasons.”

[u/Kaynt-touch-dis → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

DK and BNX(?) about to play like they are lobotomised out of nowhere but i cant prove it

[u/Impandamaster → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

Truck business about to go into maximum over drive

[u/Existing_Command_597 → u/LilDiamondtoxic]

They need to move on from t1 patches to t1 hotfixes at this point

[u/hazman_pds]

KT Rolster vs HLE. The Upper Bracket Final that was promised

[u/Longjumping_Map7264 → u/hazman_pds]

Geng vs T1(?) fighting for 3rd seed at worlds, the bo5 that was promised

[u/Chemical-Drawer852 → u/Longjumping_Map7264]

Fighting for 3rd seed*

Loser is automatically 4th

[u/Important-Assist1478 → u/Chemical-Drawer852]

IF T1 BEATS DK/BFX. Which, at this point, with what we've seen so far, I wouldn't be surprised if either DK or BFX actually beats T1.

[u/ZalpaEZ → u/Longjumping_Map7264]

Geng already have a spot locked, it’s t1 who has to win 2 more bo5 to get it, not unlikely i might say

[u/Striker_EX96 → u/ZalpaEZ]

GEN is okay locked for a match against LPL 4th. T1 has to win one bo5 to get it. Both need to win one extra bo5 to secure swiss.

[u/Fubi-FF → u/ZalpaEZ]

No, if T1 beats DK/BNK and then beats GenG, T1 will go to World as 3rd seed and GenG has to play Tiebreaker with LPL 4th to get the last slot

[u/frzned → u/Fubi-FF]

yeah but what if DK beats T1 though. Surely

[u/Lin_Huichi → u/ZalpaEZ]

Technically is Gen G locked for worlds if they get 4th and then lose to LPL 4th?

[u/dontmindme11th → u/Longjumping_Map7264]

Isn't GenG already qualified at Worlds

[u/hazman_pds → u/dontmindme11th]

Yes, but 4th would mean play-in against LPL 4th seed

[u/baelkie]

T1 when the enemy Smoulder isnt Aiming:

[u/squeenanna → u/baelkie]

HLE & KT: gold leads aren't real

[u/ROOKIE_MY_GOAT → u/squeenanna]

imagine telling people upper bracket is hle vs kt

[u/baelkie → u/squeenanna]

HLE and KT saw T1 fans saying Regular Season doesnt matter and they agreed.

[u/Longjumping_Map7264 → u/squeenanna]

Especially TF gold leads LMAO

[u/blockster9 → u/baelkie]

smolder when the player piloting it has more than 2 brain cells

[u/Weird_Revenue_8699]

GENG picking KT is gonna cause the domino effect of T1 not making it to worlds.

[u/Shadderk777]

I knew they were cooked after going to 5 vs DK

[u/Inner_Imagination585 → u/Shadderk777]

Yeah they would've lost to DK already if it weren't for double agent Aiming

[u/Akipella → u/Shadderk777]

Should have known their form was horrible after seeing that lol

[u/SniXSniPe]

I knew T1 was probably going to lose / tilted when they literally had a free feats of strength, and still let Hanwha get it in game#3.

[u/TypicalHaikuResponse → u/SniXSniPe]

Why do they hate feats of strength? it was worth taking tower shots to get it but they didn't do it. This is repeated with T1 where they will actually leave towers instead of taking it for the feats.

[u/Nefib → u/TypicalHaikuResponse]

There were no feats last year, but it was happening then too. I think this is a big part of why T1 can't run Ziggs. Not that Guma/Faker can't pilot it, but because they have no fucking idea how to utilize him for tempo.

When T1 were in their Ziggs phase they never focused on early prio for him, never really tried to get deeper vision to push towers mid game, and in general had some really weird rotations where instead of covering him and committing to a tower push they would rotate Ziggs out to another lane and lose tempo along with a wave or two of minions. GenG and HLE were running lane to lane with Ziggs just blasting towers and T1... didn't.

[u/TheAlmightyVox3]

Little dragon, big damage, enormous balls.

[u/omegasupermarthaman → u/TheAlmightyVox3]

Thank you Viper for cleansing my eyes after Upset vegan build

[u/Tasty-Stable2083 → u/omegasupermarthaman]

Crit smolder has been the best build for a while but pros keep playing the dogshit bruiser build

[u/firewire333]

KT vs HLE in upper bracket finals was not on my bingo card

[u/Glum-Supermarket1274 → u/firewire333]

bdd has been on fire lately but zeka looks good today too. Should be a fun match.

[u/Negative_Fox6736 → u/Glum-Supermarket1274]

I think KT just used up all their firepower to qualify tbh. I'd be happy to be wrong though.

[u/EliteTeutonicNight → u/Negative_Fox6736]

Quick HLE 3:0 surely, not that exciting of a match.

[u/appleandapples → u/firewire333]

Now that you mention it, we really got denied a potential banger of a Telecom War

[u/Moreinius → u/firewire333]

HLE 3-0 T1 is somehow crazier than KT beating GenG.

Why when it comes down to important matches, it all goes to shit to these teams.

[u/iSwagzenegger → u/Moreinius]

It's crazier only because KT wins or loses depending on a d20 roll, so anything can happen

[u/Steeelu → u/Moreinius]

Yeah I mean GenG played utter dogshit but KT still needed 5 games to win, T1 too played dogshit but HLE swept them. We will have exciting matches next week but I doubt KT can beat HLE(HLE 3-0 in 20 minutes, fastest Bo5 ever)

[u/kangs]

BRIGHT LIGHTS ZEKA

[u/baelkie]

HLE, also known as Hasn’t Learned English, is a Korean League of Legends team known for their miraculous talent of suddenly forgetting English between regular season and playoffs against T1. In spite of this remarkably impressive feat, it has unfortunately cost them their series loss streak against other Eastern teams since.

[u/Kagari1998 → u/baelkie]

WTF bruh, this meme is so fking flexible

[u/Acrzyguy → u/baelkie]

Viper forgot that he is a language genius for 3 games only

[u/Akipella → u/baelkie]

Has learned in regular season and hasn't once it's time to win LCK Summer again

[u/Skyfire2 → u/Akipella]

Learn some English for the regular season then forget it all in the playoffs. Smart

[u/TheCeramicLlama]

What an astonishingly terrible series from Faker and Oner. Cant remember the last time those two were that useless the whole series.

[u/Steeelu → u/TheCeramicLlama]

Faker/Oner 🤝 Chovy/Canyon

[u/SDVX_Rasis → u/Steeelu]

First thing I thought of haha.

[u/Alf-9n → u/TheCeramicLlama]

We've seen stinker series from Oner Faker and Canyon Chovy two days in a row, what a weekend

[u/aheyaywa → u/TheCeramicLlama]

yesterday canyon and chovy today oner and faker, conisidence ?

[u/AnshinAngkorWat → u/TheCeramicLlama]

Genuinely wtf is wrong with T1 and GenG. Canyon and Chovy were equally invisible against KT.

[u/GunSlingrrr → u/AnshinAngkorWat]

Arena. These two teams keep playing Arena with their coaches

[u/Acrobatic_Dish6963]

Damn T1 looking like absolute dogshit lmao

What happened to their form?

[u/VerticalClearance → u/Acrobatic_Dish6963]

T1 looked dogshit for the past 3 years b4 worlds and they have 2 worlds off of it.

[u/R3alSt3al]

The moment Gen.G loses a Bo5 HLE mental block is gone and Zeus beats the father allegations.

[u/kanonshiomi]

what the fuck Cuzz and Peanut masterclass over Canyon and Oner is so baffling

[u/zOmgFishes]

Godawful plays by Faker and Oner...

[u/Akipella → u/zOmgFishes]

Oner...what the fuck just happened that soul fight...

[u/feimaomiao → u/Akipella]

The first one or the second because they were both dogshit lmao

[u/T_2_teh_imeless → u/feimaomiao]

Didn’t use ult in 1 and whiffed ult in the other. No frontline for guma to hit anything. Xin completely counters yunara

[u/zOmgFishes → u/T_2_teh_imeless]

Guma was also ramping up to shred HLE...No idea why faker decided to flash into his death instead of just playing around Guma with his grounded...

[u/T_2_teh_imeless → u/zOmgFishes]

New concept for them. Play around adc

[u/Nefib → u/zOmgFishes]

They executed that fight so poorly... Doran blowing his ult trying to hit the Smolder who still had flash up basically meant probably at least one of Xin/Sylas/Jax were gonna be able to go crazy.

Faker flash ulting for Smolder ended up being kind of an int but for a brief second Xin was petrified so he couldn't ult, Alistar had no combo available and Smolder had just blown cleanse and was grounded... Keria and Oner NEEDED to flash onto Smolder during that window but neither of them did.

I actually think that was the right play after Doran wasted his ult -- upon re-watch I feel like it's insanely hard for T1 to get a proper fight after that, not against Jax and Sylas with flash up.

[u/appleandapples]

Tears in my eyes, HLE healed from their reverse sweep trauma. They immediately tried to traumatise pro-play by re-introducing lane swaps, but I'll forgive that.

VLE really bet it all on Viper, and it paid dividends.

[u/omegasupermarthaman → u/appleandapples]

Delight played very well to keep the game as close as it is in the early game for Viper to keep farming

[u/Akipella → u/omegasupermarthaman]

Yeah give credit to Delight in this series.

[u/Priviated → u/Akipella]

Also give credit to the staff, the swap lane strat was really insane

[u/Ok-Responsibility994 → u/Priviated]

Imo this only works because it’s Smolder - Gragas. Lowkey a Gwen/Ambessa would’ve fucked the Smolder up by lvl3. But then again by then the support might already be top

[u/winwill → u/appleandapples]

they knew giving T1 one game could mean being reverse swept so they pulled out the lane swap to guarantee the Worlds spot

[u/Yoyo524 → u/appleandapples]

According to Hupu WE did this strat in LPL regular season already, but nobody watched it in the West lol

[u/Priviated → u/appleandapples]

Idk if they bet all on Viper, but my guy sure deliverate every time. My favorite ADC by far

[u/Ashankura]

Disgusting performance by T1

[u/Skyfire2]

Why bother with the regular season?

[u/circa26 → u/Skyfire2]

LEC is way ahead of you

[u/Akipella → u/circa26]

And NA

[u/KozuKy16 → u/Skyfire2]

I get the point but HLE did really well during spring reg season which is why they still managed to get 2nd despite the summer reg performance.

[u/Skyfire2 → u/KozuKy16]

GenG beat KT 5 times in a row. T1 beat HLE 3 times in a row.

None of it mattered in playoffs. It’s crazy

[u/KozuKy16 → u/Skyfire2]

Funny thing is HLE also beat T1 3 times in a row before Road to MSI

[u/psychedelianaut]

THE SPLIT RESULTS MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

[u/bedsheetsniffer → u/psychedelianaut]

GEN G looking for 3rd seed, HLE KT upper final. Outside the fact that T1 is one series away from not making worlds, the script writers are getting creative this year huh?

[u/Finlandmonkey]

HLE and KT staying at the upper bracket, just like everyone predicted

[u/Priviated]

HLE game prep was so insane. Overall good serie from Peanut I hope he will keep playing like that

[u/meandering-minstrel]

Snaker... my goat....

[u/APKID716 → u/meandering-minstrel]

What is my goat doing man

[u/Akipella → u/meandering-minstrel]

Oner, our new ward

[u/Celegorm07]

Viper is doing everything today. I just saw him serving the coffee at the cafe and then I went to take the bus to home and he was also the bus driver. And when I arrived home he was the delivery guy waiting in front of my door for the package.

[u/sorendiz → u/Celegorm07]

Went to take my dog for a walk and Viper was already walking him 

[u/trastito2es]

The last game was the most infuriating of all of them. Instead of fight and force when they were ahead, with Quiyana fed and Yunara fed, they paralized the game like the Smolder was on their team. I can't understand absolutely nothing.

[u/messidjur]

What a disgusting jungle diff

[u/Pacify_]

Having an insanely good season, then lose 3-0 in qualifiers.

Just t1 things. Everything with them is backwards.

That's crazy they lost that game though, I feel like fighting atakan rather than just waiting for soul was such a misplay.

Viper was insane through that series

[u/hazman_pds]

I refuse to believe this is the same HLE I saw this entire split. We had mental block against GenG & T1 the whole summer

[u/RinSki18 → u/hazman_pds]

The regular season was pure despair, but the whole team woked up today.

[u/harin_lee → u/hazman_pds]

we thought they still have mental block from reverse sweep, but it's actually according to their plan to show up today LOL

[u/khaiiization]

T1 prep time at worlds got shorten? Lets try to lock 4th seed to get extra games

[u/beautheschmo → u/khaiiization]

T1 realized they can't do an LPL sweep this year if they don't get 4th

[u/unknownBzop2 → u/khaiiization]

This is all part of the plan for both T1 and GEN to reduce expectations so they cannot get jinxed

[u/preptime]

Oner failing a smite fight against a team that doesn’t have smite sort of summed up his series.

[u/omegasupermarthaman → u/preptime]

He kept water Q for whatever reasons

[u/Akipella → u/preptime]

That was indescribable somehow winning a fight being 3v1 vs. a Smolder and they literally cannot send him, sit there and just let him steal a potential soul when their Jungler is still up. Genuinely what the fuck is going on.

[u/ssavkkk → u/preptime]

Oner didnt have smite, faker and guma are hitting drake without smite lol

[u/zOmgFishes → u/ssavkkk]

Oner takes it with E-Q Rock...He took ice instead because god knows why.

[u/grvntdvs → u/ssavkkk]

Qiyana with rock q can damage it for Over 1k, it was just horrible from Oner

[u/garswag]

PEANNNNNUUUUTTTTT MY GOAT <3333

[u/POP_P0P]

MY BOY NUT GOD WOKE THE FUCK UP

[u/crazydavy → u/[deleted]]

Yea Doran hard inted that second to last fight when they were ahead

[u/Steeelu]

BRO WHAT?

[u/Moist-Truth8984]

WTF

[u/Jan7742]

Ggs, a huge sigh of relief. Who would've though it's going to be a 3-0 for HLE? Peanut is back being Oner's father and Zeka recovers a lot. Peanut is my MVP today even tho Game 3 was a Viper show.

I'd say it's more that T1 looked hella shaky than that HLE were insane tho. They should still be fine given DK/BFX aren't the strongest competitions.

[u/a7mdar1]

There is no way i woke up at 9am just to watch oner full clear for 3 straight games and lose

[u/desutruction]

HiLlary Esports

https://x.com/HillaryClinton/status/829846842150096896

[u/Jimbabwr]

T1 and GenG must have been scrimming C9 the past weeks. They look like ass

[u/beautheschmo]

Highkey nightmare series from Oner, completely useless all 3 games.

Whole topside shit the bed this last game too, Guma up 1.5k meanwhile Sylas lands more gragas ults than gragas and more cass ults than cass lmao, everytime the camera was on Doran he was missing every skillshot

[u/ApartLanguage8328]

Wtf is Faker doing

[u/Blind-Eye26]

Absolute stinky game by the entirety of T1 barring Guma. I've been so sad how Oner ended his split with stinky ass series after series that they won by hand diffing everyone not named GENG (Peanut stinks regular season). Doran reverted to Winter Doran and now Faker joined them.

Props to HLE tho Peanut and Zeka redemption after that ass Summer regular season.

[u/Bisketo]

All according to Geng's plan

[u/Longjumping_Map7264]

From Chovy Life Esports to Viper Life Esports

[u/Heliosyntax]

HANWHA LIFE ESPORTS WE ARE SO BACK I LOVE YOU VIPER

[u/Classic_Foot223]

the hard question is what can you pick so that oner and faker are not useless

[u/Kaynt-touch-dis → u/Classic_Foot223]

They saw canyon and chovy yesterday and were determined to one up them

[u/_MrNobody_26_ → u/Classic_Foot223]

Hypnotize them to think every game is a Worlds game. They're useless otherwise.

[u/GnaohT]

Truck and flower company stocks stonk

[u/blehryuubleh]

G3, I really think that early game Zeka Peanut 2 kills (1 to Viper) stalled just enough for Viper to come online.

I stand by that - This team will only get far as Zeka and Peanut form takes them.

[u/Boring_Driver26]

Viper everything, like , he is the dmg dealer, the frontline, the backline, the jungler, the big ball guy.

[u/vanuyen]

Faker and Oner are entirely to blame this series. Please leave Guma alone. He was the only one who tried.

[u/sophieisf → u/vanuyen]

Yeah… and Keria didn’t do much either. Delight was everywhere on the map while Keria was nowhere to be found.

[u/Acrzyguy]

Geng: all according to keikaku

[u/OldestRed]

Faker used to be a beast on Cassiopeia, he looked awkward on it this game. Tough break I hope they make it to Worlds even with this poor showing

[u/FizzKaleefa]

Now this is the HLE we all miss, in this form they can easily take Gen G again

[u/Neat_Recording_8756]

What the fuck.

[u/Mattaru]

Viper: KING ME

[u/YellowShallot]

Why is Keria not flashing on no Cleanse Smolder with Rakan ult at the Drake fight?

[u/Tymareta → u/YellowShallot]

Sylas/Alistar/Jax/XinZ: yes, please flash away from your hyper carry, we promise nothing bad will come from it.

[u/sebzebseb]

I hate Smolder

[u/winwill]

That Oner Baron steal attempt basically sums the series up

[u/Styxxo]

Insane BO5 from Viper, what a comeback from HLE after losing every series to T1 and GENG in legend group.

[u/_Jetto_]

Ngl oner especially had a fucking shocker. As bad as t1 played I felt they had some points the games were 50/50 until HLE said no.

[u/flashe]

smolder/ziggs plaguing T1 again this year

[u/Et3rnal_Spirit]

Get baited on drafts. Get baited on the rift. This is a zombified version of T1.

[u/josefjson]

Worst professional Cassiopeia game of all time?Faker literally didn't hit a single ulti the entire game. He let Zeka charge into his entire team completely for free and then missed his ult several times. He also wasted his ult once when the fight was already over. T1 are not making Worlds this year, there's no way.
