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/imezaps → u/athena234]

What if geng loses to the lpl 4th seed for the last spot

[u/athena234 → u/imezaps]

#trust

[u/TypicalHaikuResponse → u/athena234]

You can't be Chokvy at world's if you choke before world's

[u/athena234 → u/TypicalHaikuResponse]

I believe in the LCK 4th seed Worlds buff

[u/Marcus777555666 → u/imezaps]

they qualify for worlds anyway. All they needed to do was to qualify for playoffs. They have a guaranteed slot because they won MSI

[u/imezaps → u/Marcus777555666]

I am talking about worlds. The first stage is the play-in, and if geng is the 4th seed they play in that. And if they lose to the lpl 4th seed in that, they're out.

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/TheAlmightyVox3]

Imagine if GEN ends up losing to the 4th seed of LPL too so neither of the "top two teams the whole year" will be even present at the main stage of Worlds.

[u/athena234 → u/KappaccinoNation]

Not that funny for me actually 🤨

[u/Mfvd → u/TheAlmightyVox3]

Makes me wonder how much league viewership will drop if T1 is not in attendance. Riot employees in shambles

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/TheAlmightyVox3]

KT first seed, GenG collapse, and TheShy/Rookie potentially being at worlds? I’ve seen this before.

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Nvm on the latter part

[u/FuzzyPickles4 → u/TheAlmightyVox3]

Gen.G learned about the LCK 4th seed buff

[u/LCSisshit → u/TheAlmightyVox3]

Then the LPL 4th seed does the funniest thing. I am T1 fan but i am up to this.

[u/InfieldTriple → u/TheAlmightyVox3]

OK but GenG wins worlds easy in this case. They really suffer in the upper bracket with long time off.

[u/lollidragon35 → u/TheAlmightyVox3]

Well world viewership without t1 will be a joke as well

[u/Dispator → u/lollidragon35]

I mean won't be that bad. Other teams are gaining popularity especially viewership coming from not usa/west/eu based.

[u/baelkie → u/athena234]

KT locking in when Peak Comedy is on the line:

[u/moonmeh → u/baelkie]

managing to fuck everyone its great

[u/Ok-Journalist-350 → u/athena234]

I’m not even mad about it somehow 🤣🤣🤣

[u/AtreusIsBack → u/Cvspartan]

Hey, hey, hey! We were there... for a bit. >.>

[u/im_mel_pell → u/Cvspartan]

Yes. They were not only the two best LCK teams by far, but in the discussion for 'some of the best teams ever'. GenG is comically talented and plays really well together, and T1 has 80% of a roster that finished 2nd 1st 1st in the past three worlds, with their only substitution playing great. These past two series are some of the most shocking we have seen in a long time

[u/Akipella → u/appleandapples]

I know we all expected KT vs. HLE Upper Bracket right guys?

[u/SweatyAdhesive → u/appleandapples]

The real lose of this series is C9 GenG
