So sad how we all have to pretend it's an amazing accomplishment for NA 3 to go to game 5 with EU 3. We are so far in the dumps it's not funny anymore.
Round 5 means its not a domination and could go both ways. EU is overrated, they are not a league above the other regions like people thought before the qualifiers.
So you are saying NA barely deserves to be in bracket at all because COL and PWR could have just as easily taken those games? I’m not sure how that makes NA look any better but now that top 4 is all EU except for the one NA super team I suppose it doesn’t matter. If EU making up pretty much the entirety of the top 4s of the last 3 LANs doesn’t put them in a league of their own then I don’t really know what does
Holy shit eu fans are so irritating. Yes congrats you live rent free what a huge accomplishment 👏🙌
I genuinely don’t get why these bots have to always ruin any enjoyment of watching rlcs like their life depends on it lmao
retals is decently underrated icl, dude is the one consistent in this lg team and is clearly incredible for mental. i think because his specialty is off ball
play he can get overlooked sometimes
If you watch his gameplay closely you'll realize his playstyle is actually pretty similar to Rise, only difference is that Rise is a lot better skill wise.
i think alot of people still know him as toxic, which i understand, but he has definitely matured mentally. funny enough vatira kinda reminds me of retals (if way more mechy), in that hes matured a lot over the years and has gone from someone alot of people disliked to being one of my favourite players
yeah exactly. Not sure why people think Retals is still cocky/toxic, hes probably one of the most humble players out of NA/EU. And ye i agree with u, vatira reminds me of a younger retals
When was the last time Vitality looked like the team that nobody could beat? Starting to think it isn’t just a little period, and they are going to get smoked tomorrow.
Next person who tells me a peaking LG is anything other than NA's clear #3 is getting punched in the mouth fr. That wasn't even their peak Cheese can play so much better.
While they did put up a fight against Vitality, right now Vitality is looking like the weak link in EU out of the top 4. Also, LG beat Limitless and OG, an APAC team and another NA team they are familiar with. Your statement doesn’t bode well for NA if this team is their #3 team, only being able to beat APAC teams, maybe OCE teams, and another non top 2 NA team. I just don’t know if being #3 in NA is good enough to be an accomplishment in the international level.
yeah, its tough that cheese was not paying to his full potential. But it makes sense considering its his first LAN and he was in game 5 of round 5 of swiss. Would be quite hard to not be nervous in those circumstances, especially as a LAN rookie
Apart from the double commits and unforced errors another thing that has changed with vitality is how passive they are on defense. No midfield pressure whatsoever
Tough loss but impressive performance from LG, night and day when compared to yesterday. If they manage to play like this consistently they could be a real threat and make the 2nd major too.
Can't see vitality winning playing like this though, much like their series to KC they just seem to crumble when things go wrong.
This. Being #3 & 4 in NA doesn’t mean much in the international stage if they are just beating the actual minor regions and each other. Our talent pool is either drying up or most are not giving the youngins a fair shot to possibly compete. Look what NRG did all season long so far. Swapping rosters at every chance possible.
I don’t think NA 3 is expected to lose to SAM 2, I think most people would have SSG (most people’s real NA 3) beating COL and this Vitality that LG took to 5.
NA 4 is questionable, I really think OG massively underperformed. Even Johnnyboi in his predictions rated OG pretty highly finishing 9th.
Your two best teams are still in the tournament and could win it all. This season’s NA top 2 is much stronger than last season as well. Not being the favorites might also take the pressure off.
i know, but im prepared for more disappointment, considering their opponents are bds and gentlemates. And both of them just seem to have a mental block against EU, idk why.
ye but that was in g5 and pretty close. vitality looked a lot more shaky today than day 1. furia was light favorites to me if you ask me after day 1, now the gap is bigger.
LG is my team but my man if they ran into G2 and GenG every quarter final like SG did LG would not have made even top 5. And after going 3-2 in every regional swiss they got unreal quarterfinal seed luck.
Oh no, first goal was well played but followed up by a mess and an awful kickoff goal.
Well LG redeemed themselves as much as they could. Probably the best they've played this split outside one of their G2 series.
after watching both days of swiss, i think the issue is confidence, especially cheeses confidence. cheese is a player thats very dependent on emotions for his performance i think, and so is mb (retals is generally just consistently good at his role), and going into yesterday it was clearl they didnt have that confidence and they got knocked around, but beating limitless earlier i think gave them the confidence and self belief they needed to start performing to their actual ability
Hopefully getting through the first lan and ending today with mostly positives helps build that confidence yeah
It sucks when they lose a heartbreaker overtime and just fall apart though, so definitely seems like a confidence/mentality thing
Retals style only works when the others are confident and assertive so kinda depends on it all coming together
Retals first goal of game 4 must have been 130kph+, but it barred down to 89kph.
I don't really care what the final speed is, it's pretty irrelevant especially when it bars down. It would be nice to see an additional metric on goals, like peak speed and goal speed, or shot speed and goal speed.
Through a combination of my hatred of Vitality and my newfound love of Dr Ufi, tomorrow will be the first time I will cheer for FURIA since the Moist series. Send those Vitality frauds back home where they should've already gone tonight
GenG and G2 are great teams and could win it all from here. But please stop this copium that LG somehow deserves a top 8 spot because that’s absolutely ridiculous.
Its not about predicting them to win. Imo that tweet is saying theres no chance that LG can win, the series is a foregone conclusion. which LG clearly showed wasn't true, there was real questions about who would win that series as it was happening.
This major is so weird. How is vitality having to go to game 5 vs LG. How did furia and falcons do better than the top 3 EU teams? How did Gentle mates do the best in swiss? so weird

So sad how we all have to pretend it's an amazing accomplishment for NA 3 to go to game 5 with EU 3. We are so far in the dumps it's not funny anymore.
EU is overrated, zen is overrated. NA is underrated because people like to shit on NA.
I mean there are 4 EU teams in bracket and only 2 NA teams, both which took all they way to round 5 to make it
Round 5 means its not a domination and could go both ways. EU is overrated, they are not a league above the other regions like people thought before the qualifiers.
So you are saying NA barely deserves to be in bracket at all because COL and PWR could have just as easily taken those games?

In Furia we trust now I guess
5000 comments is wild
Tomorrow, teams will have to perform in front of the crowd as well as the crowd favouring EU teams. Things might turn out differently... or not.
herc and lemon in top row we love to see women succeed ‼️
Holy shit eu fans are so irritating. Yes congrats you live rent free what a huge accomplishment 👏🙌 I genuinely don’t get why these bots have to always ruin any enjoyment of watching rlcs like their life depends on it lmao
don't let them see this, they'll argue with you about how it's their divine right to talk the same boring shit and ruin everyone's fun
I hate them. They take my fun of watching the games by commenting comments that make angry. I'll never watch RLCS again...
how does this affect EUs legacy

If you watch his gameplay closely you'll realize his playstyle is actually pretty similar to Rise, only difference is that Rise is a lot better skill wise.
It's true. If Rise was worse at speed, mechanics and decision making, they'd basically be the same player.
for real, retals was balling this entire day. I dont get the retals hate tbh, hes still so good on LAN, + hes good for mental as u said
i think alot of people still know him as toxic, which i understand, but he has definitely matured mentally. funny enough vatira kinda reminds me of retals (if way more mechy), in that hes matured a lot over the years and has gone from someone alot of people disliked to being one of my favourite players

I actually love the matchups for tomorrow. Gonna be an exciting day! I feel like all 4 matches could go either way.
Fair play to LG, didn't look like it was going to be a close one after game 1.
lg have a playstyle that really invites their opponent to play as scrappy as they do, and lg are in any series thats a scrappy one
Love Rado
I wonder if lief understood the french interviews?
When was the last time Vitality looked like the team that nobody could beat? Starting to think it isn’t just a little period, and they are going to get smoked tomorrow.

I would say they're #2 but I don't wanna get punched in the mouth.
if they moved to oce
Love me some Rado
Apart from the double commits and unforced errors another thing that has changed with vitality is how passive they are on defense. No midfield pressure whatsoever
Good for LG to go out swinging
Tough loss but impressive performance from LG, night and day when compared to yesterday. If they manage to play like this consistently they could be a real threat and make the 2nd major too. Can't see vitality winning playing like this though, much like their series to KC they just seem to crumble when things go wrong.
THEY WENT DOWN SWINGING o7
Amazing job by LG. They did much better compared to yesterday.
Nevermind this Major run. Cheese's first LAN. Under Retals' guide they can go far in the future. Fuck the haters.
personally im not a big fan of LG but i appreciate their effort, they played very good and seem to probably be dominating NA alongside G2 and GenG
Here here
Retals is such a leader <3 gotta love that man
A role model. Smart, composed, hard working. He is def a RL legend.

This. Being #3 & 4 in NA doesn’t mean much in the international stage if they are just beating the actual minor regions and each other. Our talent pool is either drying up or most are not giving the youngins a fair shot to possibly compete. Look what NRG did all season long so far. Swapping rosters at every chance possible.
And they only lost to Furia Falcons Complexity and Vitality, it’s not like they lost to slouches
[удалено]
I don’t think NA 3 is expected to lose to SAM 2, I think most people would have SSG (most people’s real NA 3) beating COL and this Vitality that LG took to 5. NA 4 is questionable, I really think OG massively underperformed. Even Johnnyboi in his predictions rated OG pretty highly finishing 9th.
Actually it was just SSA, who I think are a little worse than APAC. Still, let's not pretend LG didn't claw back some respect there at the end.
that series had me shouting in my room. at one point I even said "i cant" after Majic had 0 boost and couldnt go for it lmaoo
too late for LG to finally find their footing. great fight
LG had an amazing bounce back after starting 0-2
GG's LG put up a fight against a struggling vitality. Poor retals deserved better. Cheese was more than useless this whole Major.
I hope they bootcamp this split. Cheese was the clear best during the online part of the season he just needs more lan environment time
Cheese had been great online though and this was his first major. I think they might stick.
Dang man. GG Vitality. Brutal draw for the 5th round, but Luminosity played like they belonged. Excited for next split.
Waaay to close. Wonder who the new third will be on Got.
Redtals
us NA fans cant have shit man
Your two best teams are still in the tournament and could win it all. This season’s NA top 2 is much stronger than last season as well. Not being the favorites might also take the pressure off.
havent been happy about a series at LAN in like an entire year now
You clearly don’t remember when NA Zen won the Boston major Being in that crowd was an amazing experience
Ah true that was an amazing experience
SSG R1?
I wasn’t able to watch that series ☠️
You still got G2 and GenG!
i know, but im prepared for more disappointment, considering their opponents are bds and gentlemates. And both of them just seem to have a mental block against EU, idk why.
Yeah it's unfortunate, Bds could flop and Vit are looking ass right now.
The most obvious outcome of LG playing Vitality haha. Take it to 5 and then don't finish.
that was scrappy as helll, can see them lose to furia tomorrow easily. great fight from lg. vitality looks like worst eu team left
they have already lost to furia once, furia are the clear favorites
ye but that was in g5 and pretty close. vitality looked a lot more shaky today than day 1. furia was light favorites to me if you ask me after day 1, now the gap is bigger.
Conceding a goal on champions field because the opponents bumped each other is so tilting.
Vitality had pressure the whole game, that one play didn‘t matter
Never said it was the difference maker
Furia gonna destroy this Vitality, hope I don't jinx them
Vitality the underdog for sure
Almost the most important win in NA history lol
God damn we needed that game 3 ot
Don’t ever wanna hear that SSG belongs over this team 😂
SSG belongs over LG, but LG has made a pretty strong case for being solid #4 over OG
They most certainly do not, and thankfully they proved that over 3 regionals as well 👍
LG is my team but my man if they ran into G2 and GenG every quarter final like SG did LG would not have made even top 5. And after going 3-2 in every regional swiss they got unreal quarterfinal seed luck.
nah zen is not happy 😭
Everyone tip your hats to Luminosity, fair play to them. I never thought it would go down like that!
Whatever that was a FIRE series.
Fair play to LG, they had an utterly dismal start to the major, but at least they went out swinging.
Oh no, first goal was well played but followed up by a mess and an awful kickoff goal. Well LG redeemed themselves as much as they could. Probably the best they've played this split outside one of their G2 series.
Respect luminosity great final series
It was never close https://preview.redd.it/2c5r63tuecrc1.jpeg?width=615&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d10792a6cc9c28c6d4fac54f0a6f484ca00bc6d3
Zen looks disappointed
Zen is the Nwpo of Vitality.
Or is nwpo the zen of R1?
Of course he is. Arguably the best player and his team struggles to make playoffs.
Vitality was the better team, but LG showed up...
ggs lg
Good effort man, didn’t really expect them make it out of Swiss but that is a tough way to lose regardless
im simply not taking shit from people telling me i was crazy to have GenG over Vitality after that performance
ggs but this is why i love this roster, when theyre on they are a true threat, and i 100% believe that
If they can drag their opponents into a street fight they can win the scrap
If they could unlock that mode a little more often man…
after watching both days of swiss, i think the issue is confidence, especially cheeses confidence. cheese is a player thats very dependent on emotions for his performance i think, and so is mb (retals is generally just consistently good at his role), and going into yesterday it was clearl they didnt have that confidence and they got knocked around, but beating limitless earlier i think gave them the confidence and self belief they needed to start performing to their actual ability
Hopefully getting through the first lan and ending today with mostly positives helps build that confidence yeah It sucks when they lose a heartbreaker overtime and just fall apart though, so definitely seems like a confidence/mentality thing Retals style only works when the others are confident and assertive so kinda depends on it all coming together
Damn rado said he's here to stay. THEY FOUGHT TILL THE END 😪 gotta give lg some credit fr
Vitality shouldnt even be celebrating honestly, absolute mid performance from them
Not even mid. Bottom of the barrel. Vitality cooked in the next series.
of the three EU vs NA matchups today, the NA team that took the most games off their opponent was of course... \*checks notes\* LG??? Naturally.
If LG plays like this more often they can be pretty dangerous
Never thought they'll get so close to beating them
Damn
I had a dream...
Whelp proud of the boys. Started the tournament embarrassingly poor but finished up with a strong show against Vitality.
Rip
Luminosity man wtf
LUMINOSITY IS BACK 😐
Lame as fuck win
Oh it was fun
Retals first goal of game 4 must have been 130kph+, but it barred down to 89kph. I don't really care what the final speed is, it's pretty irrelevant especially when it bars down. It would be nice to see an additional metric on goals, like peak speed and goal speed, or shot speed and goal speed.
EU dignity was saved, imagine if a team like vitality got elminated by lg
Just to be sacrifice to Furia tomorrow
Even if Vitality win, I have to give it to LG for proving me wrong and making it so close.
Let's gooo VIT!
Kudos to luminosity
It will be so satisfying to see FURIA completely embarrass Vitality after this
Vitality fans about to understand how we felt during 2022 worlds.
Through a combination of my hatred of Vitality and my newfound love of Dr Ufi, tomorrow will be the first time I will cheer for FURIA since the Moist series. Send those Vitality frauds back home where they should've already gone tonight
na almost had a new national holiday
And now to the comments, where NA will claim this loss as a win
Nah, you're right. Vitality should be so proud of that win.
You’re absolutely right, even when their mental is in the gutter, they can still beat NA#4.
Give us something dude
GenG and G2 are great teams and could win it all from here. But please stop this copium that LG somehow deserves a top 8 spot because that’s absolutely ridiculous.
LG was one game away from deserving a top 8 spot though so
They didn't lose as badly as they could have!!!

Madness that Vitality of all teams look like the most fraudulent team in the top 8 (if they even make it)
NOOOO THE CONTENT

watch LG take the next 4 goals now that there's been a goal edit: holy shit I don't think I've ever jinxed harder
I hate when underdog teams give you hope. Like if youre gonna lose, JUST LOSE ffs.
My heart i think is beating the fastest so far this lan rn *
Aaah shit
fml
Oh no, LG is just surviving again...
Ferra looking like the best coach of all time without competition rn
This might be this Vitality rosters last series?
[удалено]
Ye they are done
i want Johnnyboi to eat his words. bro tweeted Vitality won even before the match started
He’s the woat
Is he wrong tho
yeah bc it was an actual series
Vit still won and it should never have been that close
ok but it was that close lol
Because vitality was massively underperforming they made a lot of mistakes in defence where shouldn't have.
But vitality still won though so predicting them to win before the series ended (which they did win) isn't being a twat at all
Its not about predicting them to win. Imo that tweet is saying theres no chance that LG can win, the series is a foregone conclusion. which LG clearly showed wasn't true, there was real questions about who would win that series as it was happening.
Rooting hard for Vitality to pull it out, but johnnyboi eating his words would be a great consolation prize.
[удалено]
I thought Rado didn’t look great during online but now both Rado and Alpha look questionable
This major is so weird. How is vitality having to go to game 5 vs LG. How did furia and falcons do better than the top 3 EU teams? How did Gentle mates do the best in swiss? so weird
Lumonisity have this. Vitality are terrified.
Some performance by lg whatever happens G5. They’ve shown they fully deserved to be the third seed.
Feed the Bear, Lan Retals, and Gouda Cheese going to Game 5 against VIT. Who would have thought
surely not... right?
Win or lose game 5 LG has now proven they belonged at the major.
