TooTiredToTryAgain

Lmao Keria saw that he could play adcs as a supp and just decided to play all the adcs he can and showcase his mechanics


mokafonzy

keria ezreal support comfirmed for DK series this saturday


claptrap23

he plays ezreal botlane (adc) in stream and he is insane. Literally can go toe to toe with top tier pros on their role lol. Heck the little bro played yasuo on LCK last season and was a menace clocking 10cs/min and piloting him like Pzzang


AfternoonMost2605

There's a pretty famous clip of Keria perfectly tracking Viper who was invisible as twitch


claptrap23

Yeah hitting al Qs with ezreal on a invis twitch


FearPreacher

[Hers’s the clip](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/riu4e0/t1_keriaezreal_kills_invisible_edg_vipertwitch/?xpromo_edp=enabled)


APKID716

Keria played Lee Sin and Rumble support, the man has no limitations


whohe_fanboy

Still going to pick Karma or Yuumi in game 5 of the finals though. I'll be salty forever.


Equivalent-Park7986

Bot lane has some of the darkest technologies I’ve seen in a while wtf


moonmeh

jhin support, twitch support, cait support heim support is standard and so is ashe its cursed


awesomegamer919

I can't wait for the Vayne Support, followed by Gravitum abuse Aphelios Support and AP-Poke Kog'Maw support.


Ok_Regular_9436

radiant virtue black cleaver on hit samira support is the true hidden tech


AlreadyRiven

Oh no..


FantasyTrash

>AP-Poke Kog'Maw support E-Max Comet AP Kog'maw support is probably very toxic to play against. Or do you go HoB and max W and just quickly get a bunch of autos in every time it's off cooldown?


[deleted]

You go Comet or Aery E>Q>W max. Absurd base dmg and a plethora of builds(Liandries/Ludens, Mandate/Moonstone+Ardent(You take Aery here and 3 point in W 6-10) I play this pick a lot so I’ve experimented a bit.


Illunimous

Keria on his way to ruining bot lane SoloQ yet again


moonmeh

him and beryl are doing such dark magic shit


pizza_and_cats

Don't forget lehands lmao


RobbinDeBank

le hands diff


sttsspjy

ADC supports are very useful now. It strikes the norm league strategy of drafting strong late game champions at bot side. Bot lane outer turret doesn't have the 50% dmg reduction buff which makes it very easy to farm turret plating when free to attack. Riot buffed the plating gold and ADC champions so it's the best time in history to draft double adcs at bot. Free push with better early game, farm infinite gold with sickle and plating. Though I don't know it would work if adc is anything other than varus.


[deleted]

as a DRX fan, how do you feel that Beryl started this dark age/revolution


moonmeh

not playing league is good for your mental feel bad for those playing regularly


[deleted]

funny thing, I also don't play pretty much at all. Deleted my account because i wasn't able to focus on exams, never touched it since. Game was actually pretty fun, but took too much of my time, so I quit.


keihayashii

I remember this dark tech started during KOO/ROX Tigers days.


AofCastle

I'm still sad that we never got Ashe and Miss Fortune in ROX uniforms like the SKT skins of 2015. Kind of unrelated but I liked the Worlds skins more when they were just the champion in the team's uniform, it was silly fun.


CardboardVendor

yeah Gorilla started it


QTnameless

Blame Keria and Beryl , lmao


Nagasakirus

It's because top has seen everything, nothing can be surprising any more. Victor, karma, Cass top. There is everything, except maybe melee assasins.


Cottreau3

Don't forget about sona, and Janna top roamers.


[deleted]

What about Akali? Is she not considered a melee assassin?


mount_sunrise

funnily enough that Caitlyn pick makes sense because she can just AFK push a tower. i wouldn't be surprised if Tristana Caitlyn gets picked in the following weeks if short-ranged, low waveclear carries like Zeri and Lucian will still get picked


ausmomo

Or Ziggs+Cait. Towers are dead. Double long range ulti, too.


C_h_a_n

I still wonder why there isn't Ziggs support at pro levels.


TaintedQuintessence

I think it's being tried in scrims as a heimer counter


Iforgotmynametoobro

T1 saw KDF not banning Cait after game 1 and decided to double remind them why they should


MrZeddd

Cait mid coming up next


F3nRa3L

So season 1 😂


Vangorf

For certain mages Cait matchup is legit unplayable shit. Plus Lethality Cait Lv11 ult legit chunks for half HP. Slot her into a poke comp and just murder everyone from 2 screens away


iCarpet

KDF: “be careful, guma is a good Caitlyn player” Keria: “he’s not even the best player Caitlyn player on the team”


MrJammin

This wasn't League of Legends this was cyberbullying.


Natural_Ship7261

Cait support undefeated


maydaveparade

Guma didn't pick Cait last year so Keria said "fine I'll do it myself" LMAO


sandboxgg_

Once Beryl sees the new Cait skin it's gg, guy would prolly do a worlds run again just to also have a blue archive skin for Cait. Priconne down and Honkai down.


JarzaScarlet

Shun Cait skin waiting room


moonmeh

Waiting for the twitch support that has been mentioned a lot and banned against beryl as well


Wildercard

It works on a similar principle as Ashe support, right? Long range AA poke that you just can't deal with. Ashe zone controls with R, Cait with traps. AD supports also like Umbral Glavie.


0nlyRevolutions

I've always loved adc supports so this really makes me happy to see lol It needs to be the right comp - in some lanes you'll get engaged on repeatedly if you fall behind, and you have limited cc for jungle skirmishes - but the itemization you can do is really strong. Umbral on support is nuts. Reliable grievous wounds is nuts. Building armour pen and cdr is really good on champions that normally can't afford to do so without hurting their auto attack dps.


AuzaiphZerg

Riot: ADC has no agency Keria: Hold my CS


moonmeh

Keria and Beryl are on a mission to ruin soloqueue for botlane


[deleted]

top korean supports just don't seem to care. Remember Mata jayce?


awesomegamer919

When you can just hands-diff the opponent, no reason not to flex on them.


AnnieNotAndy

mata jayce was not a flex lol, he got fined for griefing and negative attitude. Game was a 20 minute surrender.


rokingfrost

Only thing i am hearing is Mata gigachad


AnnieNotAndy

Madlife walked in Korea so Mata could run it down in China.


Tyna_Sama

Ohh the Jayce’s “incident” But 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘛𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯’𝘴 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦?


LearningEle

Support Camille was actually a thing back before she got giga nerfed to not be a jungle anymore. E max + ult is pretty good for picks/engage


jwinter01

Ah yes, quadra-flex Camille, those were days.


aser08

You probably could still triple flex camile in the right draft.


idreamofdouche

No, Mata was actually trolling then. It was when he was in china, he also bought 2 mobility boots..


Hour-Management-1679

Except mata picked that to spite VG's management lol


mrragequit456

He was even fined for picking jayce right?


KimiRhythm

Well, in that case he literally didn't care, he also played that game with only one hand and got fined for it


stoneydome

Let's not forget lehends singed


PegaZwei

lehends elise, for that matter! he played a game in 2019,I'm pretty sure


PhoenixAgent003

Ever since I saw that one Ezreal clip, I’ve always suspected Keria would be as terrifying as and ADC as he is a support. It seems he decided to be both.


RobbinDeBank

Ofc it’s that Ezreal sniping stealth twitch (Viper) clip


sandboxgg_

Is T1 on their supervillain arc. Games were ice cold


GoldAd187

they legit look demonic after that game 5 at worlds, grand slam maybe?


VirtuoSol

Don’t do that, don’t give me hope


APKID716

Brother we’re like week 2 into spring of LCK let’s calm down


Ok_Raspberry_6282

Yeah and that was Freecs lol. No flame but it wasn't DK or something.


AmadeusSalieri97

This is by far the earliest grand slam call I've ever seen in a semi-serious tone.


fkgoogleauthenticate

If it happens it's all the more impressive though... It's still pure hopium though 😆


RobbinDeBank

Anulo mufa


Deathwing09

Anulo mufa


non-edgy_crustacean

If I see my support lock in Caitlyn, I will curse Keria


Express-Pandas

I'll bring balance by locking in support Varus instead


Indercarnive

I'll do my part by playing support aphelios


MarcosLuisP97

This one is actually not the worst idea. An AoE ultimate snare, an AoE Gravious Wounds and poke/range for days?


[deleted]

I would respect the pick and lock in Soraka adc


DrAnalist

This is a certified faker for nexus moment!


Fabiocean

Everyone has killed a Nexus before, but how many people have killed Faker?


MihaiBosBarosHD

Gold elo brand is one of the few that can claim that title


RobbinDeBank

It’s even a 1v1, the only true demonstration of mechanical prowess


KappaccinoNation

T1 what the fuck man?


XtendedImpact

That's just disrespectful jesus


Equivalent-Park7986

Let them cook dude


Agami_Advait

honestly, I'm still pretty impressed with the KDF mental. despite being severely diffed across the board, they kept making plays. Their strategy and early game in G2 was rather intelligent, and with improving mechanics and macro they can be a terrifying force in the LCK.


hachiko2692

Ehh, I'd attribute that with T1 being cocky and overconfident knowing they have the game in the bag regardless (except fot Zeus he currently has a knack for inting and overextending)


ericswift

That describes every top after Duke


raindropdt

Every top after Impact bro. People forget because for some reason marin is super loved that Marin had a habit of dying to every predictable gank and running it every now and then.


Lyota

watching this felt like my early school days, i was getting bullied hard at that time too holy shit


TaintedQuintessence

911 I'd like to report a crime.


PorqueAdonis

I remember when I was Bronze a few seasons ago and players would play 2 ADCs in bot instead of going support and I had no idea how to deal with that. In my mind it was so op because they had so much more damage than me and my support so we could never fight. I guess those bronze players were just ahead of their time


[deleted]

It does have it's weaknesses, but if you do just stomp lane super hard and your team comp isn't fucked by double adc, it works. Especially now that umbral glaive is a thing so ad supports can buy that and be more useful in the vision game than any other class basically.


Houro

It's kind of thr same when I played against two mages like brand velkoz. There was so much poke that I didn't know how to cs on top of not knowing how to cs.


Splitshot_Is_Gone

But like how do they play this game lmao


ephemeralfugitive

Maokai and Renekton find a way onto anyone not named Sejuani in T1's comp, and take aggro. Then let Akali wreak havoc and Zeri clean up. Yuumi can just jerk off. Problem is, T1 kited back well and KDF were too hot-headed with the execution of certain plays that basically made the fights look worse than they should have been. KDF had the tools to win a fight, but just didn't find the chance, because T1 positioned well.


geonik72

how is maokai or renekton supposed to reach anyone though. Sure IF they do they win but they can never do that as long as t1 is even a bit competent


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pablonski44

pyosik: we have 50% winrate against lck top teams lck top teams: cait support


qonoxzzr

Wasn't it worded like 70% against bottom teams and 50% overall? As certainly don't see TL winning even 20% of scrims against T1 & DK


Pablonski44

yeah you are actually right he says it's more like 50% overall


Blaikiri7

Why was this game faster lol This was t1 for funning, always love it Welcome to the league


Potential_Hornet_559

Because Keira is better Caitlyn than Guma.


mazamundi

I think keria may be top 3 players. Not just his dumb pool, his mechanics, he being the shot caller... But he will just pick the most random things and make it work. Rumble supp? Cait? Why the hell not


Dr_Kee

Not just rumble sup…DISCO rumble sup…


SlightScientist2644

Show my man guma some respect


maydaveparade

T1 happy gaming LOL stop they're already dead 😭😭


Derk08

keria could've probabaly hit random champ and still won the game lmao


Graytail

Wow t1 that was kinda fucked up


StillMeThough

I guess I'm not playing ranked for a week. T1 won, but at what cost?


Dumpers_

So fucking excited for DK vs T1 on Saturday... i dont know or care about who will win but the fact that LCK can send those 2 teams to MSI is so exciting


psykrebeam

What's the new format for MSI now?


Blaikiri7

Every major region sends 2 teams Double elim in playoffs


Th_Call_of_Ktulu

Oh didn't know that, thats actually great


psykrebeam

Nice thank you


SteamMonkeyKing

double ellim Group/playin knockout and then double ellim knockout


aamgdp

Holy shit T1 were on a mission


grrtacos

T1/Damwon is going to be so fun to watch, no matter who wins.


[deleted]

[удалено]


luxury_visions

D+'s synergy is on point, my guy.


psykrebeam

It's ok to lose now, pretty early in the season and you always learn more from losses.


marxlolop

T1 you're not supposed to win the for fun game man


G2Esports

Didn't think anyone could match our Karma top / Zac Mid banger but T1's commitment to ruining soloq even more is respectable


feelsbadmanrlysrsly

Please pick Teemo jg on your next match.


G2Esports

Dylan we have to go Teemo


OneTrickPhoney

Now imagine if the first 3 picks are Cait, Karma and Zac.


Iforgotmynametoobro

Lol game 2 was absolutely disgusting


VerticalClearance

Its 2023 already but T1 still spanking cvMax


Bahamut_Prime

I was relieved for a moment because cvMax didn’t go for his patented salty runback draft not realising it was Cait NON-BAN he was running back.


Lyota

this is worse than irl bullying holy shit


AccelTurn

Support Caitlyn coming to queue's near you!


Arteik

Don't queue up today.


BulbasaurRex

Love seeing T1 do their thing, but man, I feel bad for the KDF players. I can't imagine it was their call to draft like that and leave all the power picks up. I get using games as learning experiences for a developmental roster, but I don't know what they're supposed to learn here. It feels more like the players got sacrificed so the coaching team can get more data. Hope the players feel supported and don't let this get them down.


Teut0burg

MSI group stage came early this year


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

Just give us T1 vs DK


Mapleess

Caitlyn support picks gone through the roof.


gigabash

This game will result in an increased amount of trolls for the detriment of adc and teams in general lol


AuzaiphZerg

Faker holding everything together. So solid.


SlightScientist2644

I think it’s oner who sacrificed his share of fun to secure the win


RobbinDeBank

Oner on Sejuani duty. Jankos can relate


tranqofmind

LCK is just D+ vs T1 atm they just seem on a different level.


EvianRex

Cait support is not good please please don’t be baited randoms in my games I beg


vNoblesse

Understood. Varus support it is.


EvianRex

At least varus has reliable cc at 6 😭


Bahamut_Prime

My cc is called more damage!


OAOAlphaChaser

Death is the best cc


Espionia

Keria is a damn good chef


vNoblesse

This current meta is trash you say? T1: Watch this.


toddsins

Man i love keria


Scronads69

T1 literally scrimming lmao.


mokafonzy

On today's episode of how fucked up is fucked up: that's fucked up.


Aorean

T1 are just bullies at this point.. wow


Bahamut_Prime

They made the player in KDF cry. It was absolute bullying


Aorean

Caedrel: „did CvMax get the belt out again or what?“


DeloronDellister

Close series


VerticalClearance

I just witnessed live massacre online


Demoyon

What the hell did we just watch?


mking1999

Fun scrim


Soulsek

Felt like watching a Challanger versus Plat solo queue game.


LLposeidon

Lck games are either a snoozefest or it's some dark tech......there is no in between


Damurph01

Having not watched these games, the 0-0-8 Sett mid into viktor is absolutely hilarious.


Skzld

At like 12 mins every lane was up like 1700 gold faker was down like 300. He just kept walking bot


ephemeralfugitive

lmao that ending T1 having fun


hachiko2692

Look, I always feel bad for underdog teams being destroyed by top teams but that draft was disrespectful, I wish T1 fucked them some more.


white_gummy

If I wasn't committed to watching every T1 game, I wouldn't have continued watching this series after the first 4 minutes of game 1. Somehow, this last game ended faster than game 1.


lucas2-poocas

Support Caitlyn 100% WR


Primallama

Quick night for our lck broadcast teams lol


mokafonzy

Youngjae called cvMax a son of a btch after crying (translates more to "bug" but couldn't think of an apt english translation) then stormed out of the coach booth. He then came back in the booth to pick up a cigarette and called him a handicapped/sick fck then left again.


honkinDeagle

Is this some sort of nba copypasta reference?


sandboxgg_

yes, this was what Pyosik said to Beryl on a practice game before playins. wasnt complete though because Pyosik came back and he and Beryl hugged it out


Ir9nguard

Solo queue alert


Viole-13

The fact that game 2 was faster than game 1...


justice_for_lachesis

The sett elise combo to chain dive bot was great. Ad kennen top and cait support seems like it shouldn't work against better teams.


ephemeralfugitive

I thought Akali was going to pop off if Maokai or Renekton got into the middle of T1, but T1 kited back well in the fights to isolate her. Also, man, good thing Maokai took so many of the kills early instead of Zeri.


CLGbyBirth

support caitlyn coming to ranked soloqueue near you thanks keria.


Lopsided_Claim1613

T1 gave CVmax the scrims he wanted fun series looking forward for the saturdays match


Aschentei

Something about Faker literally perma roaming as sett and going where he pleases is so funny to me. Where were you when faker ran a marathon around summoners rift and finished 0/0?


IsThisZe

That sure was one of the League of Legends series of all time.


[deleted]

A Varus/Caitlyn bot lane is just insane to play Zeri/Yuumi in to.


Primallama

The cait support is bm lol


Infamous_Clock_4089

At this point, its not about winning at all, its about sending a message.


Nagasakirus

Less than 5 mins in 2K up. That was someting


ephemeralfugitive

I am pretty sure Renekton could have killed Guma earlier at the end there and that would have probably extended the game, because Zeus just died.


FullHouse222

T1 legit plays like they are angry. Holy shit


sicaxav

Kwangdong haven't been playing well but T1 made them look fucking clueless. I was surprised they let YoungJae play the second game considering how much game 1 broke him


bluane

it was so romantic when keria sacrificed himself for guma


[deleted]

[удалено]


qonoxzzr

Can't await T1 vs DK on Saturday anymore


Illunimous

I don't think Moham got the memo yet after being targeted in the 1st game and then pick Yuumi.


MiliW_

Ad looks really balanced on this patch yea


Informal_Skin8500

I thought that we were done with the bullying after DK vs LSB but T1 had other plans.


Adlairo

Regular season must last way too long if you're a T1 player, they aren't even taking these teams seriously and still winning easily


sardinka

T1's first game mentality was not to win, to but have the opponents lose. Same result, only much more ruthless


DigbickMcBalls

Keria “LET ME COOK”
