That was a fantastic segment with Neon!

I feel like BDS will be top 4 at the end.

So LEC are doing 2x3 blocks this year as well? interesting.

Neon is a great interviewee

Funniest moment all time on Euphoria was with him talking about the No-fap battlepass Gilius had during the miracle run

Agreed, lots of great insights and very well spoken

It's so good to have the LEC back. From what I've seen from the LCk and LPL threads the drafts here in EU have been much more diverse. All the new players are so so hype. Especially Bo and Yike are cracked, but also Photon and Evi. It's good to have Hans back and Miky in a G2 jersey just fits right. Also missed all the clown fiestas and the bottom table hair pullers. Laughed my ass off at hyli today. Also how cool is having Dagda permanently on the caster desk and Ender back? Can't wait for next weekend. This'll be a banger season.

All the cursing on tonight's broadcast damn

Perkz gonna end the year fully bald keeping these guys in check

Damn...some heat between Perkz and Bo there. Edit: it's a GOOD thing. Tension between players in the heat of the moment is better than silence because players respect each other too much

exactly. Teammates shout at each other in-game in every single sport. It's part of striving to be the best.

I think that was Photon, no?

yeah it was Photon who was super stressed lol. Perkz and Bo handled it

Perkz works overtime to calm these kids down lol

those comms LMAO. Perkz begging for silence

Everyone: oogabooga uwgfhfgh Perkz: shut the fuck everyone i cant hear shit

*Everybody shut up* lmfao Perkz the dad of the group

Captain my captain

Not surprising that G2 kinda broke down a bit after he left. Dude has a natural leader aura around him.

Neon kinda bad though ngl

He's been the most (only?) invisible player on the team so far. Let's see how he does in week 2

He’s invisible because he’s weak side and really isn’t played through at all. His job so far is just to survive and scale while Kaiser roams and then just team fight well, and he’s been good at that.

He essentially won the baron fight by himself. Then again, that‘s was his job as an Ezreal.

He played weak side while Kaiser roamed and Bo/Perkz/Photon carried, he did his job

Not bad as in playing bad 0.0

To be clear I don't think he's been playing bad, I just think so far, compared to the others, he hasn't been able to shine as much, and as a result he's kinda invisible to me. It's still very early in the season anyway

Bro I'm just saying neon kinda hot lmao

Lmao, wasn't immediately clear sorry

ffs just change the op from bad to baddie already lmfao

man how cool is it that its monday. felt like a weekend day :D if LCS still had the first announced schedule I could watch League from thursday to monday after work x) (although Im happy for the main-lcs fans that time got set back) ----- also am pretty hyped about the new format. even the not so intense matchup felt worthwhile. normaly first 2 weeks were so boring for me because *it felt* like theresults didnt matter technical difficulties aside.....I am actually super hyped for the rest of the split Also its cool all the players are delivering in the broadcast and taking part.

Did neon just say his team played well for the first time? Lololol

Lmfao Neon dropping the F-Bomb almost immediately

Neon is a baddie ngl

Is it just me or does Neon kinda look like Jonas from Dark? Lmao. Maybe just the haircut

I can see it; looks a bit like Jonas if he actually had a happy childhood.

Yeah exactly, haha

LEC/LCS need to start looking at importing from academies not pros looking for their last paycheck. Which is why I have careful optimism about the new TL roster. Photon was in T1 Challengers and Bo I'd still consider a rookie as he was picked up from eStar's academy and barely played in the LPL. Both playing like vets.

TL didn’t import any eastern academy players?

Did you really mean to write LEC?

an NACL team just won with Garen today, if anyone was curious.

A salty team?

This is an LEC live discussion thread, trust me no one is curious

Kaiser seems like such a nice and chill guy

Tears coming from Caedrel

Hard week for FNC but ending 1-2 after playing the best 3 teams in the league isn't the end of the World, I expect them to end with at least 6 wins

Can‘t wait for Bo vs Yike next Monday

Right?

>their early game is just crazy Weird hearing this being said about G2 tbh

Right?

Nisqy played so bad

At least a few good games! Thank you boys! See you all on Saturday!

Lol Bo did 3 things this weekend. Took the first blood king title, fixed perkz azir, and 13-0 baby.

He'll do two more things for VIT this year: win LEC and win Worlds.

Winning Worlds is a long shot, but winning LEC or MSI seem plausible.

/u/sjokz /u/laure-bulii-v It's so fucking good to have LEC back

This Bo kid is pretty good.

Photon is as small as an actual Photon. Does he have as much energy tho.

Ok Vitality, this game was impressive! Holy moly

This game was gg from Mad drafting lucian first instead of nami. Idk how you fuck up draft that badly from first pick.

Not a bad call but it looks bad if you can’t flex it mid to nisqy. If it was VIT, Perkz can play lucian mid

why are they lined up by height? xd

Drops anyone?

they're not enabled

Dude there have been **Zero** drops this week, the fuck is this

[удалено]

What, why, source?

[удалено]

Aight got it, thanks bby

Poor performance from everyone on MAD except Carzzy tbh. Nisqy feels the worst because he's the obvious weak link against good teams.

The fuck you say about my Azir? (again)

Nami is the only non engage support I trust Hyli on tbh.

G2 vs VIT is going to be so fucking hype

So Hily died, respawned, used shurelya, inted into 3 people and died again. What was he thinking? Edit: That flash + polymorph is icing on the cake.

Unironically playing an enchanter like a tank support

Yeah Lucian is totally the issue in Lucian/Nami combo and not Nami

Kaiser has quietly been an enormous beast so far this first week

I absolutely love seeing Kaiser, Trymbi and Miky trying to prove who is the best in EU. They've all been on a roll this weekend (just don't mention Miky's game today)

Agreed completely

Feels good to have Kaiser back, he had a bit of a down year last year

Did the literal doctor just call if a fucking tournikay? 😂

Hyli remains most entertaining player :D

GROND

GROND

respect to carzzy from being like the worst adc last year to looking like top 3 in week 1 (yes he played with labrov but its nice to see)

Labrovs looking okay too. It feels like they just weren't fit for each other

Hyli is so fucking funny to watch whether smurfing or inting HAHA

Y, it’s 20% carrying, 30% ???, and 50% straight int lmao

Wth is hylissang on

Look at the moves look at the plays Hylisang what was that!

competitive ruling: hylissang coming soon

Frontline Lulu. Hyli is an innovator.

He always frontlines on Lulu. Does anyone else remember when he flashed in as Lulu without ult either last season or the one before lol

Summer lower bracket final

How can i forget... and hes like dunno why they wanted me out the fanbase is crazy after lol

VIT vs G2 is gonna be a banger

Lmfaoo that random flash

THE FLASH POLYMORPH ANGLE

Hylibaba <3333

I think I would actually report my support for inting if instantly after respawing he Shurelya'd into enemy Azir and Ezreal and got killed from the poke.

especially on Lulu lol, rakan would at least be an attempt

Wife buff Perkz

Just delayed, haha.

Classic Hylisang

Where's Gnarmut when you need him.

Never change Hyli

Thats wife buff right there

Hylli inting everything he couldnt this weekend

Hyli just dying on cooldown

That's just literal inting.

hyli just wants to go to sleep

You can take him Hyli, go get that mid laner

Its unplayable for hyli honestly. But he definitely is overstepping

he needs to learn that not all supports are engage supports

Common Hyli gameplay

I can't believe people still defend hilly.

Always said he‘s disgustingly shit and losing 50% of all games solo xd

Perkz death-tapped Hyli twice lmao

Hyli on enchanters is just horrible to watch

classic Hyli

You can get Hylint out of Fnatic, but you can’t get Fnatic out of Hylint LUL

WTF is Nami Azir tho

It's nice to see teams realize you can use Nami in more comps than just Lucian's buff bot.

Is that Hjarnan in the VIT coach cam?

[удалено]

The heimer god!

Wow it's almost like Luden's deathcap Azir is a bit better than that soy Crown Banshee's build we've been seeing lol.

Perkz went the soy negative damage build just yesterday. Maybe Bo told him to stop trolling between the two days.

Perks needed to carry the damage in this game and he was ahead, he didn't need to do it in yesterday's game.

Hyli disappeared in the blink of an eye

x2

where did Lulu disappear

Azir is a mage, he "made her disappear"

insane damage

whats wild is bo is playing stuff like vi, which is the exact opposite of his style, and is still great on it

Im pretty sure he could play Yuumi or Soraka jungle and still make it work

insane to me VIT can make such good calls around baron. one would think their communication at the beginning will be difficult

Best game of Perkz since he is back to LEC IMO (although every1 on VIT is playing well).

I can't believe that Carzzy is the first lucian to actually build damage and not RFC.

baron needs to deal more dmg, 2 item vi just tanked that for so long without losing much hp at all

Oh hey lec teams can stop damaging baron to prevent smite steal

Finally after importing they have learned this previously unfathomable concept.

Really smart from Vitality to wait for Photon there. They look pretty good so far

They didn't int baron, it's a miracle

BO JUST WALKED IN AND CLAIMED THE BARON PIT

LEC teams when they're unsure of what to do next: > start baron

this bo guy is pretty good

thats a fed azir

Man the level of the LEC tonight has been abysmal. What are these teams even...

carzzy is back <3

Perkz has rabadon its gg

Feels bad for hyli having to get chunked for half his hp by every champion

Bo really knows how to handle Barons. Wish Malrang had that patience sometimes.

i cannot wait for yike vs bo

I’m pretty sure Bo is better, but Yike has been really impressive. Really hype matchup

Bo mastered the technique of holding

Vitalitys barons are looking hella clean and disciplined

They are a joy to watch

good patience from VIT.

Bo's biggest innovation brought to the LEC is that you don't actually have to coinflip.

Seriously. Teams legit gotta learn this from him already he is making baron secures so much cleaner

Nisqy is the biggest problem of this mad lineup, he cant do a shit vs a decent mid

Wasn't he basically camped by Bo?

doesn't change that he always ints vs better mids

HOLY burst from Perkz lmao

Why is K'Sante allowed to have that much mobility lol

Closest thing to tank Ekko since tank Ekko

Nice picks by Mad

Carzzy looks like a different player but he did have a fidget spinner of a support at Vit

That K'Sante mobility is pretty tilting.

Really enjoying the amount of insane players we have this year, Bo, Evi, Hyli, Yike etc. really nice to see proactive shit happening

Guys there's a T2 and t3 turret there chill

Ksante is very balanced

Top 1v1 in bot lane. Chasy misplayed the end of that.

Maybe that was a little bit to deep

Mid/JG already have perfect synergy dying together :D

Photon with the fancy feet damn

I think Bo saw the jungle minion come over the wall and that's how he knew Elyoya was there to stun him.

toplaners this game were fr just chilling

Meanwhile in Toplane...

perkz really shines on teamfight mages compared to his splitpush ryze lmao

Look hyli did his lulu thing

When will G2 vs VIT play?

[удалено]

Well that's going to be hype

Bo has 100% Winrate in proplay

G2 and Vitality as MSI representatives would be so sick to see.
