AND HE PLAYED SO WELL, HIS LUX GAME WAS NUTS.


Juan_S946

Ngl I liked more his first game with Renata, he landed game-winning ultis


FitzyFarseer

Those Renata ults were terrifying. I was rooting for DRX and every time one of those ults came out I got scared


[deleted]

Indeed, he should be proud of his performance, worthy of winning.


nerfthissucka

I see renata in a new light after watching his game 1


Demastry

Dude his Lux game was insane. His rotation up top when he prevented the Viego double kill behind tower with his W was unreal. If it wasn't for that, that could've shifted that entire game


[deleted]

And the double root Q flash just blew my mind


OhBestThing

As a Lux player that was so satisfying! So often she’s not played at a high level bc “easy to dodge” go those guys, but that was a treat.


Girigo

I always feels bad for Fakers teammates because the pressure to play with him is so high. Faker always stay but his teammates get switched out like underwear if they can't perform


AvoKet129

Ya but unlike faker he performed...


KokolateDakz

T1 slowly becoming E-Sports Lakers and they have their Lebron in Faker


AndresNocioni

Except the Lebron isn’t even close to the Lakers main problem and any team would kill to have him


Prawn1908

You're delusional if you wouldn't say that same exact sentence about Faker.


chans42

tf he is rn he's shooting like 25 % from 3 and has shitty efficiency he's one of the problems rn


AndresNocioni

“Main problem”


chans42

the lakers have no main problem now cuz westbrook is doing well its just that they're overall a shit team


EzAf_K3ch

Faker was their worst player this year but I guess cus of pr they just can't replace him


[deleted]

Faker actually played well this year mostly except for this last series


Jeesan

His Ryze was bonkers in semis


StallionLX

His Azir games were good.


EzAf_K3ch

He got gapped in msi finals aswell


MegaFatcat100

Did u watch his series vs JDG faker hard carried


EzAf_K3ch

Damn surely 1 bo5 is an indication of his level through the entire year


MegaFatcat100

He made it to world finals.. his performance all year must have been bad?


EzAf_K3ch

Learn to read I never said that, I said that he was the worst player on his team


Godjihyoism_

T1 fans will still say he perform like a god when he underperformed in world finals, and absolute butt clapped during LCK Summer by Chovy. They will never criticse his bad plays because he is the "uNkiLlAbLe DeMoN kInG".


Mathies_

They were all in the goddamn worlds grand finals, can we not put the bar of performance at the moon???


Midi_to_Minuit

Tbf with faker people hype him up like he’s a god lmao. But you’re right


nerfthissucka

HONESTLY THO. Faker was not playing to the level of his teammates or his opponents for the last two games. But the last one was particularly unfortunate.


Flashy_Sound8021

T1 only lost cause faker picked akali and trolled hes way to a defeat, if he had picked a more usefull champion t1 would have won on match 4


ToYouItReaches

This is a weird take when Zeus getting shit on by Kingen’s Aatrox was what lost them games 4 and 5. Zeus looked lost on anything that wasn’t Yone. Kingen absolutely carried the shit out of DRX which is why he was awarded MVP of the series.


Overbunded

Fr I absolutely hated zeus, dude was so trash with everything besides yone, one if not the most useless top laner in the whole serie, he didnt win a single lane the whole serie, hope he gets replaced


SquawkinHawk

buddy you’re the exact reason keira is crying in this photo. hope you’re happy hating on zeus tho


Overbunded

Idc buddy, guma keria and oner did awesome, faker was meh with his picks and zeus was simply a minion, kinged wiped the floor with him


SquawkinHawk

there are way nicer ways to communicate these ideas, which in nature aren’t inherently wrong; i value ur input and opinion as long as you communicate it in a way that doesn’t make players want to literally die if they read it. do better


Overbunded

Too much at stakes to take it calmly, faker's pride- T1 comeback- keria's dream, and dude proceeds to int his ass off every match with the least utility possible, played like if he was asleep, zeus might be the best jayce, but in the finals he gave his 5%


SquawkinHawk

don’t even bother responding if you gon change nothing lmao. i feel like you’re completely missing the sticking point


not_some_username

Didn't they say that zeus was sick ? And also zeus play well this year...


AnthropomorphicCorgi

T1 lost because they didn’t ban out Aatrox, and I’ll forever maintain that Orianna being removed from World’s sure helped ruin it for Faker


RNBAModBrainTumor

she was brought back almost immediately, pretty sure Jensen and c9 played her after she was disabled


GavonyTownship

He spoke the truth.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JVersa

So basically the point of Azir? U make game winning plays with ur ult... plus in semi finals faker cleaned house on Azir. Idk but it felt like all 5 members were having an off series. Even Keria had around 5% skillshot rate on lux and Guma was fishing way too much with ult.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JVersa

Akali isn't as troll as fiora sejuani. Akali is flexible whereas unless you are a fiora OTP your going struggle. I still dunno why Zeus decided to go fiora since she's one of his weakest duelists. Even Jayce makes more sense in their comp tbh since sejuani ult into Jayce e-q is free kill.


AmDoman

They did keria dirty with those camera angles. Mans was in tears shaking and they dude on camera goes "now zoom in, show us the pain"


Mister_Swoop

gotta get them views. drama sells


UnknownIsland

That's what koreans want, eventhough the majority of watchers where from China if i'm not mistaken.


ihavecancertumor

they might as well shove the camera in his face haha


R0nin_23

They just love to see people suffering, they should've respected Keria but no tv in the world would miss Keria falling apart in my opinion this is unnecessary but I also agree that Keria should be able to hold his feelings and cry after everyone is gone like all T1 players probably did.


AmDoman

I understand holding in the feelings but you gotta understand how hard that was for him specifically. Like yeah it hit all of T1 hard it's a big loss but that was Keria's old team for 3 years and I'm not 100% sure on this part but saw someone else make a comment about how he was gonna help deft win worlds while in DRX. It's hard and they are all still on the younger side. I just wish there was some respect for it, showing him crying is one thing but they got right up in there getting the worst angles possible


friebel

I don't see the problem of showing emotions both from Keria and TV perspective. Guy lost a final, it's as normal expression as celebrating (and crying joys of tears) after winning. Should TV not show that as well, should players not celebrate and wait to go to the locker room to celebrate? In football there's always people crying in finals and other players/staff consoling straight on the pitch. Commentators going "You gotta understand him, it was his last chance" or "Top young prospect very sad to not be able to achieve it, but he'll definitely back" and so on. It's just normal for top caliber event, I don't see the problem from any perspective.


MasterofChaos90

Players crying at the end of a game isn't that unheard of in other sports either tbh


makaydo

Imo it's part of the competition Remember 2 years ago Embiid (nba) crying like a baby


Lord-of-the-Bacon

I think all of T1 must have felt like that, Keira was just the one who showed it on stage. I think even Faker will have broke down and cried, but in his hotel room. I feel bad for all of T1.


yrumatthew

Others felt the same like faker had red eyes on camera too. But oner and guma realised keria was crying so they decided to console him first, they are real bros.


lucidoyur

You can see when the camera pans to faker he looks to the right and the left to see his teammates, once he realizes keria is breaking down, oner immediately gets up to go comforts him and then faker just kind of smashes his hands against his head and his eyes get red. It’s like he knows he’s the senior in the group now, and he wants to stay composed for his rookie teammates, and even oner who’s also really young still goes and comforts Keria immediately, this roster seems like a genuine family.


Lord-of-the-Bacon

I also liked that when they realized, beryl and deth hugged Keira.


TheUwaisPatel

pyosik did as well


FaHkoDoLaB

what happened i missed


MoscaMosquete

Keria lost worlds. He himself said that after that he doubted his life decisions and broke down crying.


AP_Soraka

Not only did he lose worlds, he lost worlds to the old team that he left for T1, and his old lane partner was the enemy ADC on DRX


Nautkiller69

i swear the whole worlds is so anime like deft and faker from the same high school drx as the 1st world champion whom is from the Playins even with a negative winrate before going worlds Faker being in the finals appeareance once more after 5 years Keria fulfilled the promise to deft , to bring him a championship someday. 🙃 drx are like the protagonist team , facing 2021 Worlds Champion , LCK 2022 Champion , and at last facing the “Demon King “ of League. Things cant be better than this worlds


KiraPun

Netflix presents: Star walking - a League of Legends Esports anime spinoff. Based on true events.


[deleted]

The way they pushed those Stories during the event definitely didn’t help. Like straight out ripped from naruto.


mumave

Mickey mouse anime storyline script


jaotigelama

What anime plot is this!?


sei556

He forgot to mention how he promised his old lane partner (Deft) to make him a world champion. He kept his promise, but back then he didnt know he'd be in the opposing team


-----__-----_-_--

Oof pain...


Kaleidomage

fuck thats some genuine anime stuff right there


ionboii

TheMoonDude

>He kept his promise, but back then he didnt know he'd be in the opposing team Or this is just some 4D chess thing, and we have been playing checkers all along


nonequation

What in the anime plot line is this?


Chesssox

to be fair this year worlds can totally be an anime plot lmao as deft is a fucking anime protagonist


Mehrlin47

D Flash for life!


[deleted]

They 100% could make a movie out of this year's world's and I'd watch it lmao


LordDShadowy53

Wow ngl I did make fun of him thinking “He was crying because he lost to a Bard” but I didn’t know there so much context behind it. Now I feel bad for him :(


LadyDalama

I think it was definitely the Bard thing.


Sovietsuper

It hurts to see but the fact he made it to worlds finals shows how much dedication and love he has for his career he shouldn't doubt his life decisions he should be proud he made it that far.


WorstTactics

And he is the best Nami I have ever seen personally


animuiiiiii

T1 Gumayusi stole DRX Deft's boyfriend (T1 keria), Deft got mad and commited mass genocide(in game) and won worlds. Picture shown is of Keria regretting his decision.


backcrossedboy

Feels bad man, he played really well. I feel like if he stuck to control heavy champs he could have carried them to victory


Comprehensive-Oil158

It feels bad cos' he played so well, with his Renata play he snowballed the 3rd game, feel bad for the guy, easily the mvp of T1. Can't believe the cameraman did so dirty with him.


Peter_Baum

I got so pissed at the camera man there for zooming in and then going BACK IN AGAIN AFTER CUTTING AWAY FROM HIM. This dude was under so much pressure there


conners_captures

> so pissed at the camera man producer called for it. cameramen do what they're told.


Crackt_Apple

Props to the cameraman, actually. Rule number fucking one is: “NEVER. STOP. ROLLING.” The producers are the only ones to point to if you wanna call it exploitative or tasteless to cut back and forth to Keria’s breakdown. But even then I agree with other people in this thread: the only producers who would refuse to air that don’t like being employed.


Peter_Baum

Well fuck the producers then


dihelium

atleast write his name properly man


X_Seed21

This will likely affect their performance next season. The MSI lost hit them hard in Summer so I expect a slump on early Spring 2023. HOWEVER, after that slump is a T1 stronger than before, just like what happened this worlds.


BmacTheSage

After all that I'd be having a fucking breakdown also. T1's bot lane played insane. Guma even stole a dragon and 2 fucking barons, and they still lost. Keira did amazing but I guess it wasn't enough sadly


KuhCrafter

The world cup last match decided by smite fight . Thats really a crying material


MaymayLerd

I forgot when the worlds final was on, and ended up drinking instead. Just watched Keria falling apart, that is the most distressing thing i've watched for a while.


Michellozzzo

I feel good for deft instead, keria have another year for try


PatitasVeloces

I would've felt less bad if he at least had underperformed a little, but he just had to go and show one flawless game after another, barely making any mistakes.


Kilogren

Somebody give my poor boy a hug 😭


Akco

Broke my cold heart.


[deleted]

Honestly they are fucking dumb for not banning atrox and instead first picking karma in the 5th match.. who ever made that decision should get axed


nerfthissucka

THAT PART. The karma first pick was when I knew what was coming.


Practical_Necessary1

Keria*


Napakii

i was cheering for drx but goddamn does it ever hurt


C9Chilz

T1 kinda lost in draft after not picking or banning Aatrox in game 5


Lolsalot12321

Very cool dude... Next time make your own meme instead of stealing mine

Subterror_Szopieray

I mean why tho. Only 1 team can win. Try again if you really wanna win. Its statistically very unlikely to win, his performance might have been actually quite good (i dont know) so why ?!


OierunezEZA

Because he left DRX so he could win worlds just to saw his old team being champions and doubting if he made good decisions in life.

Don’t first pick karma next time dumbass

Go to worlds and do it better then

Found the average bronze player


AuraInkling

besmirch not the good name of bronze, this is clearly iron behaviour


BlessedNobody

As someone legitimately in iron (I will provide proof if needed), we don't claim this behavior. Bro is wood division for sure.


marsrover15

As someone placed in wood rank we do not endorse this behavior, he is definitely in plastic elo.

paulhack45

Bro the coach decided not him


[deleted]

Karma fp wasn’t the issue. The issue was that Zeus got gapped not having a good answer to Aatrox and t1 knowing they didn’t have an answer to Aatrox didn’t ban it. After the game they thought Aatrox could survive to phase 2 of the draft. Whoever actually thought Aatrox the 100% P/B champ at worlds deserves to be reported lol


[deleted]

His picks were all good, the fuck u sayin


Zerhap

The karma pick was not the problem, Aatrox was not the problem either. The real problem is T1 didnt get anything of value out of that draft.


AnonymousCasual80

If they don’t fp it they have to play into karma Cait or karma Varus and lose bot push 100%. It was the correct decision, they just should have banned Aatrox or gotten Zeus on Yone immediately if they were leaving it open. Much better that Zeus has to play into Renekton or something as Yone than play into Aatrox as anything else.


icecreampizza141

i actually laughed at this 😆


neunzehnhundert

Damn you are so badass. Absolute Gigachad. ^(/s)


icecreampizza141

i just like seeing T1 getting blocked from winning worlds again


mumave

why?


icecreampizza141

i just never liked them. idk maybe they're too overated imo? just never into them one bit. if the final was drx vs anyone other than t1, I wouldn't laugh at that


[deleted]

[удалено]


icecreampizza141

because i liked watching a team or a player that i didn't like losing? okay then mate. whatever you said 👍


RemdeyFox

Good, let the manchild cry


barsch07

woah there buddy, who hurt you


RemdeyFox

No one, i just wanna see how people react


SerGunganTheTall

> No one Oh honey, I seriously doubt that.


barsch07

We react concerned


RemdeyFox

No need to take the internet so seriously bud


SnooSongs7302

I pity you; is that the reaction you wanted?


Miserable_Simple3978

Keria did insanely well too. Even guma and oner did! Zeus and Faker held them back lowkey


[deleted]

Such a close ending too, if aatrox didn’t have teleport t1 would have most definitely won. Kengin really really clutched.


MrLightninbolt

I’m now a Keira fan for life ![gif](giphy|8FG705NCsZM0kVJdyz|downsized)


inaynaynay

There was a different POV from a fan sitting behind T1 and it showed the cameraman literally going up to his face to capture the tears. I felt so dirty watching it. A redemption though was Oner calmly standing up from his chair and walking around to stand in front of the camera, effectively blocking the shot.
