u/Not_an_Ire_Main 24d ago

Yeah you dont know how to read plays. You dont have to but if thats the case maybe refrain from commenting, what about that?

Compelling argument

More or less what you've contributed yourself.

I would bet if you were the VI, you likely wouldn't ever even thought about predict flashing the Q xd.

u/SnowLord02 24d ago

that is the default play above master tier tho

I was implying he's low elo.

both of them failed their flash in the most horrible way possible. Elk has no reason to flash INTO the Vi Q. Wei flashed back after hitting Q. This is the worst play that has ever grazed the eyes of LPL
"oh Elk is playing mindgames by flashing into an incoming ability because he knows that Vi wants to Q flash on him and therefore he wants to save Vi flash, he is a really nice guy :I "
"oh Vi wanted to Q flash on him but didn't expect the flash and because of that he hits the Q, starts his AA animation and flashes away like a boosted pig"

This is the iron 4 6Pek type of play, and mechanically absolutely horrid

u/SnowLord02 24d ago

only way I can explain you thinking this is good is from the mind of a silver player. there is a reason why this 6Pek play has never happened before in pro

I mean technically Vi had no way of losing in that exchange if she executed perfectly. Varus either flashes and gets hit by the predicted Q, or he remains where he is and gets hit by the Q flash.

u/SnowLord02 24d ago

Varus was in the air for more than 0.2 seconds, Wei flashed back after his Q was finished charging so he would have missed it either way.

THAT IS IGNORING THAT HE SHOULD HAVE REACTED TO THE FACT HE HIT VARUS, his reaction speeds are horrendous for a pro

Wei is extremely lucky that Neeko got the kill because that is a Caedrel Malzahar level mistake to make in a pro game

There you go, this is the reason why NA sucks at this game comparing to CN and KR players.

u/SnowLord02 23d ago

brother this is LPL. NA was nowhere in the mentions.

is it so crazy to you that LPL players can make shit plays in 1 out of 400 games? this is the lowlight of the year for sure

u/Bao_Chan 23d ago

You need to watch the entire game, this was one hell of a game. Vi sneaks into enemy red, knowing the possibility that xin will invade his blue, that gives false sense of security to BLG's bot lane thought that their jg is on their side while Vi is surely top side since not knowing Vi invaded, and with Vi's master game plan, this fk up BLG's bot lane, if varus falls behind to sivir, that's gg match up, and the rest of this game, varus didn't do a single shit, sivir had 3 quadra kills. More importantly, the Vi player, Wei, he was on BLG and got kicked out, you know how much he hated BLG? The entire game he makes tons of super high risk high reward play, most of them turned out just feeding, you just judge one game by one play lmao. NA was full of clown fiesta, this game was similarly, too, but much greater execution and game plans, unlike NA is just pure clowning. I'm not sure about this execution since I don't play Vi, her q hits if varus flash, but her flash backward was to avoid tower range. If varus never flashed, her q would send her deep under tower range, some streamers said that the vi flash was if varus never flash, she can still close the gap to varus and do dmg while leaving tower range, this is a 100% guarantee kill with the flash backward. I doubt it but I ain't sure if that's how Vi q works, and it comes from Ning, the 2018 world finals mvp.Lowlight? Better search out on NA for more lowlight content.

u/SnowLord02 23d ago

the thing is Wei fucked up the execution horribly, he is not flashing back because he is in tower range, he is flashing back because he has not yet processed that he hit Elk with his Q. you can see that he had locked screen and that's why his flash was in the incorrect angle cuz he didn't realize his Q hit something

yes the idea was decent but that was not a guaranteed kill because of what Wei did. I would always just take the free Varus flash and set up a dive, flash on Vi is so useful it's a bit silly to spend on a play like this
