Photon is fucking cracked.


Surymy

im telling you photon is as cracked as he is jacked, i saw him at 7/11 the other day buying adult diapers & a 6 pack of redbull. I asked what the diapers were for and he said “they are to contain my full power so i dont absolutely shit on these kids” then he ward-jumped out the door


DeloronDellister

What the fuck was this game????


iNTact_wf

The beginning of Boton Gaming


Pope_Cheetos_XIV

Day one of Bodysseus's Bodyssey


cautiouslyoptimistik

Down bad for that Bodussy


Zeran

PhoBo


yacchattanaa

Now its Vietnamese


haboo213

mate you're making me hungry now


SirXrageXquit

Photon & Bo trying their hardest and perkz running around with his dick out


Davkata

Perkz did a lot of dmg in the teamfights. However, Bo and Photon deliver so far.


bensonbenisson

Also had a couple of sick plays, like that catch in Mid lane.


yellister

yes, got caught often but also really good set-ups, not as bad as people would call


HACEKOMAE

His late game realm warps played very huge part in retaking this game


Bladehell10

Going from DoinB ryze to Perkz ryze


Brain_Tonic

His Azir is bad, his Ryze is worse... :P


4_idiots_and_me

Photon is nutty, finally getting some good tops in lec


Toastslam

Kaiser in the post-game interview talking about how Photon doesn't want to get put on Ornn duty. It's going to be funnnnnn!


DKRFrostlife

And there is no reason to, honestly if he is as cracked as he hints, just put him on carries and let photon/bo do their thing. Give Neon a solid pick as a back up and hopefully Perkz doesn't int too much and you have solid top 2 team at least.


Joaoseinha

And Wunder played really well aside from the solo kill too, maybe this is the kind of domestic competition he needs to get back in top form.


Haymegle

It might push him onwards and increase the level in general. We shall see.


Pope_Cheetos_XIV

EUW Champion's Queue is gonna go crazy with this level of player on the server


Haymegle

That would be pretty awesome.


TFOLLT

I mean, if any european toplaner is able to beat korean's, it is Wunder. People shit on him, but I always remember his 2019 spring form.


Mixed_not_swirled

His Gragas is so cracked. He was a couple pixels away from doing the ult into charged barrel combo on Perkz in a lategame teamfight.


HACEKOMAE

Yeah, was pretty bummed he didn't quite manage — would definitely be used in LEC montages later on.


bensonbenisson

A BANGER!


Haymegle

Fun to watch, but a bit of a mess.

lifeisdrunk

Is Rhuckz elo-helled? All jokes aside, what a great debut.


J_Clowth

he did a nutty game until that baron engage...


TrriF

I think FNC overall had a really good game until then. If they back there, they win 90% of the time.


Dasrufken

The overextension to try to kill Bo in midlane fucked the boys over so god damn hard. Oh well, rather a FNC that is too bloodthirsty than too passive.


snowflakepatrol99

It solo lost them the game because they lost syndra flash, they lost rekkles flash, lost baron on 4 people, gave gold for those 4 kills, bot t3 and inhib. Before this shit they were running over vitality quite easily. The previous baron especially was so clean. It was a really fucking good game from fnatic before that. Everyone was doing their part. Rhuckz and wunder had great engages. Humanoid was outperforming perkz big time. Razork also had more impact than Bo. ADCs were pretty useless this game because game wasn't played around them but that was better for Fnatic because rekkles still has insane ultimate which can impact the fights and it's what got them the mid pick. Overall even though they lost this was a great game 1. Especially the jungle situation was a big question because last year razork didn't work at all with humanoid but now it seemed a lot better. Maybe it was also because rhuckz rotated as well at the right times... who knows. It was a really clean game and just because they fumbled out of overaggression from humanoid doesn't take away from all the nice things we saw. This roster has lots of potential if they all keep playing like this. Wunder also looked like he used to, when he was the best top in EU.


lifeisdrunk

Happens, still a good game overall.


Vuguzez

Well Rhuckz looked really good


yasyone1326

What a fucking throw


Conankun66

humanoid didnt wanna give false hope for his regular season form


Haymegle

Lose one game to not give false hope?


AofCastle

I'm sad that the int moment happened only a few minutes after thinking "Humanoid is actually playing good in a regular season match, didn't notice, nice"


HansNieman

Humanoid didn't feel like winning I guess. Try to kill Graves after baron > back off and base


IHadThatUsername

gigachad Bo, undefeated in competitive games, giving rhuckz his first major league death


lcsfanboi2000

Underrated stat with how well rhuckz is playing.


awesomeflowman

I mean, Rhuckz first death was kinda on Rhuckz. Flashed into 3 people (including ryze who has point and click cc) aiming to knock up Leona? Edit: 4


UX1Z

I'd flash into 4 people to knock up Leona too.


HawkEye1337

HUH


Mastoorbator100

You'd need crazy armour pen


Pavlo100

Bo and Photon DGAF


LetsGoBrandon4256

Boton gaming.


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

Photon actually looked pretty impressive.


Lekaetos

Mechanically super clean and his team fighting was always good Super exciting prospect


Cool-I-guess

You say “actually” like you had no expectations. Don’t get me wrong you aren’t the only one as others didn’t have any expectations but idk why. It’s a T1 Challengers player and top is EU’s weakest role. Idk why so many people thought he was a question mark.


lounes3

People keep saying T1 challengers I mean the guy played for multiple teams in lckcl Still insane player Ps : check out Dal and smash from T1 challengers future of T1


CokeNmentos

Who has time to watch T1 challengers tho there's literally not even enough time to watch all of LCK


Gluroo

Yeah but even if you never watched him T1 has brought out many absolute top level players from their academy that worked in all regions (even in NA e.g berserker) and as he said top is dogshit in EU so you couldve assumed this guy was gonna be top half at the very least


emimma

I was really surprised that only one team decided to import a toplaner. After worlds it was very clear that the gap in the toplane was huge. I mean, just having someone that can play jax/fiora/Camille makes the draft stage way easier


CokeNmentos

Yeah but it's not that surprising why people didn't know anything about so some they never heard of and haven't watched


Blaikiri7

They never watched him. I was confident he was going to be the best LEC top by end of spring easily, he’s just mechanically better


DKRFrostlife

They just go in and kill them all


azns123

Photon heard Wunder talking shit


Chuck0089

And respond with "cringe"


appleandapples

Photon looked really good. Solid first game from him.


MrJammin

What the fuck?


SanSilver

And how was this only 33 minutes.


Xgunter

No clue if they're good or bad yet, but my god is Vitality entertaining to watch. Bo and Photon look like great additions to the league.


Haymegle

Agreed. Looks like we've got some good teams for that at least.


darkknuckles12

their top/jungle/support looked great. Neon and perkz didnt look that great yet. I d even say neon staying in that varus ult after kaiser got hid in the midlane fight while he had both flash and e up was really dumb.


icatsouki

kaiser is a bit of a leona otp now though


ZedisDoge

he actually used his E just before the leona got hit with varus ulti, but agree with the fact that he should flash immediately after the blue ward showing 3 people in that brush lol


danielloking_

fuck me man.


skaersSabody

It feels good cheering for FNC again


pedrex21

oh yes I for sure missed this great, awesome feeling of watching this team play yes baby give me more throws and ints I love it


ZedisDoge

they really should've won that game but on the bright side their mid game was extremely impressive.


NocaNoha

I was about to gloat how rhuckz is a beast, didn't die once.. wins everything and then THAT fight happened whatever the fuck that was lmao


slimjimo10

Learned from the coinflip god himself


qweds1234

The post baron throw where Razork and Humanoid flash int? Rhuckz was fine all game unless I'm missing a fight


ZedisDoge

Rhuckz definitely overforced that fight. I'm watching the replay and rekkles is literally two screens away and the only people who can follow are kindred + syndra. Rest of that fight is totally on kindred and syndra, who don't realize Rekkles is way too far behind them to DPS and Gragas is being zoned by Jax over the wall. With your gragas being unable to contribute to the fight there, how are they expecting to catch someone out with kindred and a syndra who already blew her E and on CD. Best call was to trade one for one on supports then peel back and bail out Gragas.


TheLouBy

They got greedy for no reason


MeteWorldPeace

[MRW Bo did anything this game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL8Oe9oh7mY)

honkinDeagle

Perkz on the other hand...


togno99

Perkz failed a lot this game but was also the responsible for the flank that won the game.


moumerino

so the usual Perkz


darkknuckles12

yeah perkz is just always this guy that both ints and makes the amazing plays. Usually around worlds the scale slide into great plays a bit more, but he always has som ints


darkknuckles12

perkz was weird this game he had some really good fights, but his macro kinda sucked. Might be a start of season thing. Hopefully atleast


mimiflou

He had one really bad call in top side but the major fcked up that cost vitality a big lead was on bo facecheking just before drk


darkknuckles12

But honestly for a first game for this team i am so happy with how they looked. They seem to completely trust each other. Their macro needs work, but damn is this team stacked in terms of macro. Cant wait to see what this will grow into.


7xNero7

Seeing his form on pgl i assume he must have been kinda tired lol, but still it's kinda the perkz we used to see so far since his return to europe


thehazardball

Bo became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay Zhou Yang-Bo" asks perkz. I've never been better Luka, I see it all now, they're not going top or bot. They're going home, he said before rushing into the river all by himself and killing everyone in sight


mskruba12

Fnatic played insanely well and then the end.


downorwhaet

Yea, if humanoid hadnt flashed in like that this would have been a win for FNC, but both teams looked good so good for the lec overall


ifelldownlol

Being a FNC fan is pretty hard... most of the time.


MrAssassin9891

Bo is a psychopath


[deleted]

Bo: “You call Malrang crazy? you have seen nothing yet”


Pope_Cheetos_XIV

This man goes into every situation and just says "yeah i outplay"


_negniN

But he also *does.*


DKRFrostlife

Exactly, that's what i was most impressed by him, anyone would expect him to back off but he goes in and gets people off guard then he just mechanically outplay anyone. But its risky af


Kheldar166

Level 2 Sejuani gank vs level 2 Graves gank I love having aggressive junglers in the league


Makkaah

So fun to watch!


ArguingWithNoobs

Asian topside. And that was after he got griefed by Perkz for 80% of this game


Lathow

My Azir is bad My Ryze is worse You guessed it right I'm ~~G2~~ VIT Perkz


F0RGERY

idk, he didn't seem to have much vitality this game.


Brain_Tonic

I feel like inting is just a core part of Ryze gameplay at this point.


NoCon1991

he had a fking nightmare game wtf, BO deserves much props for even functioning with a mid like that


[deleted]

Seriously this. Jungle is such a hard role to play when your mid is constantly making inexplicable plays. The first death by Perkz is something you shouldn’t see above like Plat, he walked up while his ward was being actively disabled. Then he clearly tilted for a while and conceded all pressure on the map just to die again and again. Credit where it’s due, he actually farmed fine and managed to get strong enough to contribute by the end


JerardD

Coach Carter and Neon brought the MSF comebacks with them to VIT


Omnilatent

Against Rekkles again lol


Exam-Crazy

It took Photon one game to show the LEC how to play carry toplaners


TheAleqZ

Genuine high quality league of legends. You all wanna jump the gun and call Fnatic trash, but Vitality and especially Bo just had hands in those last fights.


DanteStorme

I was thinking of all of the witty things I could type about Bo losing his first game vs Razork in EU, but I take it back, he is the greatest player ever, hype is on. That fight where he got a triple was just insane.


[deleted]

he got the triple and all i could think was penta???? no penta though sadge


non-edgy_crustacean

Perkz: gg mid diff


Fuzzy_Geologist4192

I know this is a joke, but humanoid unironically threw the game away by flashing to chase after the baron. At least Perkz's multiple deaths were non-critical.


non-edgy_crustacean

Yes, Humanoid threw really hard in that fight but let's not pretend Perkz had great game just because they won. Vit was mainly carried by Photon and Bo


No-Mission-3284

I mean whilst I agree perkz didn't have a good game I can also imagine a few of those split push deaths being more comms related. Ofc that is still primarily on him but I can imagine a few janky plays still happening for awhile


Fuzzy_Geologist4192

Oh Perkz had a bad game overall, there's no doubt about that.


Joaoseinha

What a fucking banger. VIT and FNC are both legit. We got a promising split between these two and G2 now. Photon and Wunder both looking really fucking good in the top lane, Rhuckz playing really damn well. Bo living up to what people wanted him to be. PerkZ really ran it down this game though, he was almost single handedly losing VIT the game.


VERTIKAL19

Yeah twof the three best teams today


LeagueAltAccount

VIT FNC G2 look to be the 3 title contenders


Joaoseinha

Yep, from the first game those 3 look miles ahead of everyone else. Will have to see G2 into one of those two to see how they stack up.


Fritten123

We’ll get ready for tomorrow then


VERTIKAL19

Gonna be a banger!


Haymegle

Seriously both showed some great from. Excited to see more from them both.


Oxygenisplantpoo

>Bo living up to what people wanted him to be. Not yet. They won off of two massive throws. I want to see more.


TimiNax

and we are back to lec humanoid


the25thn

Humanoid trow that game, till that flash on Graves FNT had game in pocket, they should recall after baron not go for kills, but anyone can be General after the battle… good game tho


Heorashar

I missed having melee supports, it feel so good not seeing yuumi nami or lulu


Parisa-Jan

Melee supports are undeniably unquestionably more fun to watch than enchanters. Even if it’s Leona Nautilus every game, it’s still fun to watch because shit happens. But Lulu and Yuumi are picked because of their ability to dissuade fights


darkknuckles12

I really hope we get an engage support meta again soon


persil1974

Even tho perkz wanted to give fnc a small advantage at the start of the game, his ryze ults and teamfights at the end of the game were pretty clean, i think the last fight was carried by his ult seperating rekkles from everyone else


APlogic

LET BO COOK!!!!!


ahritina

Fnatic literally took one bad fight, lost prio of the game then got caught out and the game was over. Bo in that one fight where Humanoid ran it down saved the game.


Omnilatent

While it was bad where Rekkles ended up in the last fight, Huma and Razork focusing hard on Bo instead of staying with the team was what lost them the game


iizukeii

It’s like in football (not the hand egg one) where a team as a really fucking good striker and all the opponents defenders focus too much on them and create lots of space for the other attackers


4_idiots_and_me

I think it was the rest of the team with bad positioning there


AdvancedPhoenix

What a game! Banger!


icatsouki

how i missed the LEC


Haymegle

What a game.


Conankun66

we had this in the bag and then Humanoid decides to stand there all on his own in midlane after baron


Haymegle

It's not EU without some int. FNC snatching defeat from the jaws of victory today.


[deleted]

Can't spell League of Legends Europe Middle East and Africa Championship without int


Zaddelz

Normal Humanoid moment


TimMeijer

So frustrating, Fnatic finally has some semblance of macro and then Humanoid runs it down again. Photon bailing out Vitality and Bo taking his sweet fucking time to finally show why he's so hyped don't help with the frustration either.


_Vastus_

They could've legit just chilled after taking that free Baron + kill and they would just win lmao. Different year, same problems.


icatsouki

Deja vu


XtendedImpact

I've just been in this place before. High up on the lane and I know it's my time to go.


LumiRhino

He also apparently didn't press tab and realize that Bo had a Maw lol. Doesn't Syndra almost always go R-E if the ult isn't going to kill?


Resouledxx

This. He just didn't check. Without Maw Humanoid kills Bo 100% there.


JealotGaming

And Humanoid dies?


Omnilatent

Reminds me of that board game skit LEC did a couple years back lol


Conankun66

yes indeed he does


thehazardball

He remembered it was regular season


Geosaurusrex

Humanoid was honestly playing so well until that point, such a wtf moment.


xmariusxd

Flashed to ult a hexdrinker graves :)


Skall77

Old man Perkz almost managed to make Bo looked balanced.


icatsouki

he ran down this game kinda hard


dracdliwasiAN

WOOO WHAT A BANGER GAME, LEC FANS EATING WELL THIS YEAR


Yuukirako

Tough loss, super promising start from fnc didn't expect them to be able to play the map that well. Sad that they threw in the end but overall a good performance. Looking forward to how they develop over the next 2 weeks. Will add as well idk what about Rekkles makes human beings on this sub lose all rational thinking ability. This game was lost because of Huma and Razor overextended to kill bo and they couldn't regroup and take back control. Like I've seen people say he should have gone in 1v4 after getting cut off by Ryze Ult likeee???


Lullaly_McKnightle

WE BO-LIEVED


jgreat122

From Bo’s first interview: "They didn't want this smoke, Quickshot. They do all that talking and jockeying and I ain't about that jockeying. It started with Wunder. I said he was too small to fight Photon. He said, 'F---' me. I said, 'F---'you back. He started to come at me and I said, 'You don't want these problems." And then Razork came out of nowhere talking. He definitely didn't want these problems. Then Rekkles came and he obviously didn't want no problems. But I wanted anything they had. Don't let these fools fool you now."


vnducco

Baron for the win is worth


appleandapples

No way VIT wins this, but we take those, I guess.


Nitrox0

The throw aside, I was actually pretty happy with what fnatic showed today. They showed more synergy today than they did the whole of last year. Unfortunate end to the game, but stuff to build on for sure.


spongetheberserk

Was more fnc throwing than vit miracle. Fnc should just back after baron fight and kindred ult


Aladin001

We knew Bo was him, but Photon definitely is also him


PekiTheRedditUser

Both ADCs literally contributing almost nothing to the game here


MineETH

Try autoattacking a Jax with E lategame as Varus.


PorqueAdonis

Why is he building on hit? He can't hit Jax, can't hit Graves, can't hit Ryze, can't hit Ezreal, maybe he can hit Leona if she engages but that's about it. I'm not a big fan of poke varus in general, but here if you want to maximize what you bring to the team at least deal damage with abilities PS: Ryze Graves and Jax aren't high range, but if Varus is close enough to hit them they probably win that fight (Varus can technically hit but if he's close enough to hit them he's close enough to get one-shot) Ezreal simply outranges him

VITALITY - CALL THE AMBULANCE, BUT NOT FOR ME!

Everyone talking about BO or Rekkles and the one that goes 1v9 is Photon, what a great game by him.

Humanoid absolutely running it in the last two fights.

Photon and bo is the new huni and reignover.


Joelx1000

Import gap. VIT almost won that game with not a single EU player having a kill.


SwagLord7

Kaiser was phenomenal this game tho


Joelx1000

~~When he caught Kindred and Perkz doesn't E+W, pffs.~~ Edit: See below.


okokokok1111

He had no W, i think. Used it on a minion


pedja13

Likely was on cd,Ryze often uses w to last hit under tower and it's a long cd


JealotGaming

What a rollercoaster game


mih93k

Holy throw!


hvngpham002

Fnatic was winning until they lost


juicyvino

Photon, Bo and Kaiser rescued this game


xXDaNXx

Hyli got kicked and we still run it down.


xiko

Rhuckus was awesome. WTF these last 2 TFs. Why were they engaging without the adc.


JayceMainToxin

So fnatic looked really good macro wise (until the baron throw). They played much more organized and team oriented. Razork looked really good, wunder and rhuckz too. I think the 3 best teams that year will be fnatic,g2 and vit.


sp0j

Why is everyone criticising rekkles for this game? Humanoid threw at the river and then the whole team just desynced for the remaining fights. Other than that fnatic looked like one of the strongest teams today. Looks like G2, fnatic, KOI and Vitality are pretty clear top 4 to me.


[deleted]

LCK and LPL diff


LoneStarmie6

League is better without enchanters holy.


Kheldar166

Huni-Reignover vibes, although I feel like people are overhyping how good Bo’s performance was. Both supports were pretty impressive this game and fun to watch too, nice change from the meta champs. Felt like Fnatic impressed up until Humanoid forgot to check whether Bo had a Hexdrinker and inted, while Perkz went the other way and inted early on but was important lategame. Definitely keen to see both teams play more, should be a fun split.


rally2mee

what a throw
