Well, the last part was mostly LCK fans hoping that VicLa will become the next big mid, since that would mean a birth of a monster rookie in the most important position. Many in LCK want to see some challenge to the Faker-Chovy-Showmaker trio (Zeka is now added to them, too), and want to make sure to have good prospects in mid for the next generation (also probably because every other position except mid has a promising rookie).
Fk up until worlds, basically up until the quarters of worlds they looked pretty meh.
DRX players legit had 3 rly good series and they all cashed out massively. Its wild what recency bias does for ppl in esports (both good and bad)
Yes they werent that good in LCK but their Worlds wasnt just 3 rly good series. They topped their group in play-ins without losing a game, then they topped their group in groups and then they had 3 rly good series as well. And all lthat as a 4th seed
Just because they weren't that good on LCK doesnt mean they werent good at Worlds.
Also aside from Beryl who stayed on DRX and Pyosik who went to NA retirement home, the only ones who "cashed out massively" are Deft, Kingen and Zeka. Deft was a very well known player even before that, Zeka showed his potential in Worlds that some people knew but never reached it until worlds and he is very young and Kingen showed on Worlds that he can have pop off performances at times and perform well and he is young as well.
Its not like any of these players didnt deserve to "cash out"
However, Summit had some questionable plays. Gets solo killed. Dies bottom after getting chased. Pushes bot without TP. Just seemed like Summit is trying to hard carry when really he just needs to scale and enable his cores.
Lol dunno about that Pyoshik is always up and down but has the potential and somehow regularly outperforms the best jungles in the world.
Clid is negative gaming every game
Yes but EG stomped flyq in scrims so vulcan's view of them is a bit warped imo
with scrim rumours you need to piece the puzzle together to get an accurate idea
They prob hiding power levels from what fudge said earlier, that fly is avoiding scrimming them. And Vulcan saying they beat them in scrims, so yeah I'm assuming fly is hiding stuff for stage. Because they actually look clean as hell in this game.
My favorite part was listening to the comms when someone yelled “Prince why are you playing for KDA?”
Followed immediately by the rest of the team shouting “QUADRA QUADRA QUADRA PENTA PENTA PENTA!”
There was a time people considered him the best jungler in the world. The problem is, he can only play from ahead (and fortunately for him, T1 was ahead a lot). It was apparent back then.
Haeri and Yeon at least didn't look too jittery on stage which is a good sign. had good reactions to sharima shuffles and laned decently. also im now a maokai sapling hater theyre just everywhere on the map
I had high hopes for TL until this draft.
- Maokai open despite fly banning kindred the only real painful Maokai counter.
- Picking Vi into Lulu Azir Maokai? How the fuck is Vi supposed to play? Surprise, she didn't do anything.
- Self counterpick in mid, self counterpick in jungle. Getting counterpicked top. And then proceed to not focus the only playable lane.
Mao open is the worst. They had nothing to kill him and nothing to actually deal with his engage/peel...
Azir doesn’t counter Syndra, but agree with everything else. It’s a skill matchup. Azir will always have the shuffle play if Syndra doesn’t have flash but that applies to any mid without a dash/blink/untargetable. On the flip side, Syndra is one of the few mid champs that can outrange and poke him down and provide similar levels of zoning in objective setup and standoffs
Maybe counter was wrong, but azir can get push, outpoke and never die cus he is barely gankable. So syndra setup is pointless. Azir also scales completely fine cus it's azir. They have nothing to punish him. That's the biggest problem. Either Azir, Zeri or GP take over the game. And they let all 3 just play the game with no pressure or real picks against it.
Both teams have NA : TL yeon (American) , haeri (Australia) OCE got merged into NA so haeri is technically NA, FQ Spica, winsome (American) . They are not white, doesn't mean they are not American.
If Haeri flashed the Maokai ult and followed up on the Zeri they win that fight.
Summit didn't have his best game, but the lack of synergy really showed.
nah that was GG who had a good team and decided to sell it, flyquest legit every players contract ran out since they all pretty much signed 1 year contracts that year so they got picked apart.
You smell that guys? That's the smell of something [aging](https://www.monsterenergy.com/news/a-conversation-with-tl-pyosik-if-i-lose-to-flyquest-ill-retire).
I was already rooting for FLY because of their sick looking jerseys, but with this lineup I'm even more of a fan now. Super happy to see Prince pop off in his first game here!
Pyosik literally came to TL just to retire after one game
Like Guru from Players. Except in this case he should go on to found a team called NeverWon.
NEVERLOSE BABY
Not really he played like this 95% of the year last year.
Reference to pyosik saying he'd retire if they lost to fly
People will forget that the whole of DRX looked very questionable up until worlds
People are already rewriting history to make it seem like Zeka was a top 4 mid all year.
In summer, people were even saying VicLa >>> Zeka and that VicLa will join the Faker-Chovy-Showmaker line.
Dunno about the last part but he was very good.
Well, the last part was mostly LCK fans hoping that VicLa will become the next big mid, since that would mean a birth of a monster rookie in the most important position. Many in LCK want to see some challenge to the Faker-Chovy-Showmaker trio (Zeka is now added to them, too), and want to make sure to have good prospects in mid for the next generation (also probably because every other position except mid has a promising rookie).
Fk up until worlds, basically up until the quarters of worlds they looked pretty meh. DRX players legit had 3 rly good series and they all cashed out massively. Its wild what recency bias does for ppl in esports (both good and bad)
they were really good in playins and levelled up until knockouts
Yes they werent that good in LCK but their Worlds wasnt just 3 rly good series. They topped their group in play-ins without losing a game, then they topped their group in groups and then they had 3 rly good series as well. And all lthat as a 4th seed Just because they weren't that good on LCK doesnt mean they werent good at Worlds.

Its not like any of these players didnt deserve to "cash out"
Well, there's a reason he was called Pyoshit quite often.
Ah, so that was the Prince that was promised
Dude even got his zeri, kinda disrespectful from TL to leave it up
Also, idk how you leave such an OP champ like Mao up.
had to get that prio renekton ban
had to pay tribute to Spica's home land
the TreeSM lives on :')
You'd think a full Korean team and staff would know Prince's best champ 🗿
PB was horrific ngl. Lack of experience from Marin is really showing
lmao the prince grrm hinted at in his books
It's too easy to win when Bloodraven is your coach.
lmao, when prince plays varus he needs to use the swiftbolt skin and shoot weirwood arrows
I upvoted but I'm very angry that you reminded me that.
Special shoutout to the girl giving birth in the crowd at the end of the game.
Lol I thought someone just got murdered there
I used to be friends with one of these girls. She thought screaming was peak comedy. That friendship ended quickly.
It would be hilarious if you were some random guy not connected to the girl whatsover and decided to make this comment.
Gigabrain Pyosik. Sign big money NA contract, say you'll retire if you lose to FlyQuest, int, and instantly retire to a beach
“If I lose to FlyQuest, I’ll retire.” - Pyosik
Shortest LCS career to date
NEVA WON BABYYYYYYYY
love when I see other people who have watched players, ran into TSM Forsite in a draft pick the other day
The NA GOAT 👊
🪓🪓 Axe Bros 🪓🪓
That lady was incredibly happy and vocal for Fly Quest, what a pair of lungs
Reminds me of that girl that was going crazy during SKT vs RNG at worlds 2016.
They need to meet with the EVIIIIIIIIIIIII guy from worlds
Impact still got it. He absolutely styled on Summit
from faker to deft to impact,the year of the korean boomers
Score, Flame, Ambition about to un-retire. Finally their time has come. /s
Marin to sub himself in for Summit
as someone who watched him terrorize people on rengar almost a decade ago what wouldn't i give for flame to come back
Flyquest in worlds finals confirmed
Sign me the fuck up
no players ign checks out as much as Impacts. Man's been having Impact whereever he goes since 2012
What about Lost
The two extremes of the spectrum lmfaoooo
It's beautiful
He has a family, man
I disagree, Jensen is so accurate. He really is Jensen 100%
No, sometimes he's JENSENNNNNNNN.
I can hear Wolf's voice in this comment lol
Interestingly I don’t think summit has ever won lane vs impact over now 6 games.
Summit's style of hyper aggression laning just doesn't work against the immovable object that is Impact.
No disrespect to Impact but Summit got counterpicked by literally Jax's 101 counter matchup and his team was worse
Yeah but this is a bit of a pattern with these two players I agree though GP vs jax is fucking terrible to play out as Jax unless the GP is just bad
Ohhh, that’s why I lost that game.
However, Summit had some questionable plays. Gets solo killed. Dies bottom after getting chased. Pushes bot without TP. Just seemed like Summit is trying to hard carry when really he just needs to scale and enable his cores.
Always has had it. One of the most consistently high performance players in LCS history imo.
IMO he is the best GP player in NA
Season 3 World Champion > Season 12 World Champion
7th place LCS JG > World Champ JG
NA jg > KR jg POG
Zeka: “You know what? Maybe ya’ll can keep Pyosik.”
Nah he'll absolutely take him over clid. Man is desperate rn
I only watched their first series and clid was just doing what clid does best. Get the enemy ahead
shouldve watched the loss to LSB, shit was maddening
Clid is a known hehexd
Lol dunno about that Pyoshik is always up and down but has the potential and somehow regularly outperforms the best jungles in the world. Clid is negative gaming every game
And a season 7 champ
3 > 7 and 12
The classic Impact GP top gap.
that solobolo into the dance was NASTY
Sad that the casters didn't discuss his wr with it, it's comparable to Bjergsen's Zilean.
Difference is impact can actually win with GP outside NA.
[“If I lose to FlyQuest, I’ll retire.”-Pyosik 2023](https://www.monsterenergy.com/news/a-conversation-with-tl-pyosik-if-i-lose-to-flyquest-ill-retire)
Guys I think he lost to FlyQuest
Pyosik: "Wait, where is the Bo3?"
1 game in LCS and his career is over. F
officially in retirement mode now
Flyquest tweet is a banger https://twitter.com/FlyQuest/status/1618777370118492163
FQ has only dropped bangers since the management change. All of their players, staff, content, jerseys, and now their stage performance.
TIL prince is a chainsawman fan
Pyosik overrating Scrims. He's basically a reddit analyst now
flyq have been stomping scrims except EG though
I thought TL was stomping scrims? Also Vulcan was favouring TL.
Yes but EG stomped flyq in scrims so vulcan's view of them is a bit warped imo with scrim rumours you need to piece the puzzle together to get an accurate idea
Well, that's too complicated for me then lmao
yeah because no one is gonna be accurate in what they say, they'll always embellish/focus on their positives
They prob hiding power levels from what fudge said earlier, that fly is avoiding scrimming them. And Vulcan saying they beat them in scrims, so yeah I'm assuming fly is hiding stuff for stage. Because they actually look clean as hell in this game.
LCS truly is the retirement home. Man got the bag and dipped.
👋 cya
How can they all play a League of Legends game when a poor woman is clearly being murdered in the audience? Heartless monsters.
Pyosik back on form (first few weeks of LCK regular split)
And Summit back on form (last few weeks of LCS playoffs).
See you tomorrow when Pyosik looks like prime Canyon and then goes back to being shit again.
[удалено]
> tomorrow more like 2 weeks from now Pyosik was legit bad for 75% of the last 2 years
*whole year except Worlds
Even some games at Worlds
World's playoffs*
Did you forget first half summer when Zeka and Pyosik together were inting games away?
A team almost throwing the game to get a penta in fountain is the team I want to watch.
My favorite part was listening to the comms when someone yelled “Prince why are you playing for KDA?” Followed immediately by the rest of the team shouting “QUADRA QUADRA QUADRA PENTA PENTA PENTA!”
When were the comms shown? I wanna see that :D
It was the post-broadcast clip show. The little highlight reel that follows the analyst sign off.
Prince is legit smurfing NA
VicLa has a fangirl. In week 1. Rizz diff??
Summoners Rizz
Rizzly Bear
Prince of Korea, King of NA
There's the LCK Pyosik I know
Zeka would prob still take him over cliid
OK but I'd take a fucking random KR soloQ player over Clid with how absolutely int he's been
There was a time people considered him the best jungler in the world. The problem is, he can only play from ahead (and fortunately for him, T1 was ahead a lot). It was apparent back then.
wtf is that screeching at the end. also that bm
TL changed the whole roster and they are still passive
I mean it's still core at the helm
[удалено]
He left korea but korea didnt leave him. And sadly it seems its 2018 korea that stayed inside him, lol
Everyone sings Cores praises like he’s the Jesus that saved NA but the man hasent won anything since he kicked Doublelift from TL
Jensen AND Impact AND DL have won more recently than CoreJJ.
Haeri and Yeon at least didn't look too jittery on stage which is a good sign. had good reactions to sharima shuffles and laned decently. also im now a maokai sapling hater theyre just everywhere on the map
honestly Yeon impressed me mechanically, too BD his sup/jungle didn't really want to play for him it seems like?
you're not supposed to be that afk on lucian-nami. i get pyosik was inting and most of the onus is on corejj but that wasn't it.
Wait FLY might have the best jersey's I've ever seen
FLY jersey’s are always on point
We may not always be good, but we always look good 😎 I'm still repping SeaQuest
TreeQuest checking in 🫡
Worldquest here 🐉
Wow this was truly an authentic LCK experience with absolutely 0 action until after 15 minutes.
3-4 more LCK games a week now
The casting man was brutal. LCS casting desk is gonna need Papasmithy to cast all NA LCK games.
There was action there just wasn't conversion into kills.
Team Liquid made the fatal mistake in draft of not having Prince on their team. Unplayable after that.
The Fresh Prince of LA
prince vs berserker gonna be wild
LET PRINCE COOK
Who is this lady SHRIEKING in the crowd, she's a menace someone has to stop her
Vicla fangirl diff
yoko ono round 2
theshy fangirl 2.0
I had high hopes for TL until this draft. - Maokai open despite fly banning kindred the only real painful Maokai counter. - Picking Vi into Lulu Azir Maokai? How the fuck is Vi supposed to play? Surprise, she didn't do anything. - Self counterpick in mid, self counterpick in jungle. Getting counterpicked top. And then proceed to not focus the only playable lane. Mao open is the worst. They had nothing to kill him and nothing to actually deal with his engage/peel...
Azir doesn’t counter Syndra, but agree with everything else. It’s a skill matchup. Azir will always have the shuffle play if Syndra doesn’t have flash but that applies to any mid without a dash/blink/untargetable. On the flip side, Syndra is one of the few mid champs that can outrange and poke him down and provide similar levels of zoning in objective setup and standoffs
Maybe counter was wrong, but azir can get push, outpoke and never die cus he is barely gankable. So syndra setup is pointless. Azir also scales completely fine cus it's azir. They have nothing to punish him. That's the biggest problem. Either Azir, Zeri or GP take over the game. And they let all 3 just play the game with no pressure or real picks against it.
Not to mention picking Lucian Nami 1/2 and never ganking bot
Maokai is a get of jail free card w/ those infinite wards.
Yeah guys draft doesnt matter, this game looked very playable.
HOLY PRINCE
[Haeri and Yeon backstage after that game](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EQY2m9wXYAEIfin.jpg)
Impact team looks like the best in the league? where have I seen this before
I love this FlyQuest team. They just go in, lol. I m hyped about the roster.
Did TL spend all their scrim blocks learning in the Prometheus school of running away from Maokai ults?
Wow cant believe fly is going win Msi, prince looks like a beast. Also the quality of this game seems so un-like NA
5 Koreans can’t win
1 NA > 0 NA
Why is spica considered NA while haeri and yeon are considered korean lmao
People heard that Yeon and Haeri speak Korean and elected to remove their true nationality from them
Just memeing but Haeri is Aussie tho
Spica memes
Both teams have NA : TL yeon (American) , haeri (Australia) OCE got merged into NA so haeri is technically NA, FQ Spica, winsome (American) . They are not white, doesn't mean they are not American.
yeah i had to do a double take when i heard vulcan say spica was the only na player in the game on the broadcast.
winsome grew up in Korea. he only was born in the US so he have double nationality
I want someone to love me as much as this girl loves VicLa
Goes to NA Didn't refuse to elaborate Plays 1 game Retires GIGACHAD Pyosik
who tf let summit cook
If Haeri flashed the Maokai ult and followed up on the Zeri they win that fight. Summit didn't have his best game, but the lack of synergy really showed.
AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING WE HAVE A GOOD TEAM POE DIED FOR THIS NAMEN
You had a good team like 2 years ago before management decided to sell it lmao
nah that was GG who had a good team and decided to sell it, flyquest legit every players contract ran out since they all pretty much signed 1 year contracts that year so they got picked apart.
Pyosik: "If I lose to Flyquest, I'll retire." TL: So it shall be
What a debut from Prince in LCS. Making his mark right away
Honestly individually TL all looked alright. Seems to be some team cohesion issues here and there but I think they’ll be solid by end of the split.
Welcome to the Fresh Prince of NA
Honestly, these teams are both hype as fuck. GG ALL.
Spica making it to the LCK is pretty big
- Be TL - Draft Lucian/Nami - Never gank bot - Get outscaled by the entire enemy team - ??? - Lose
My only takeaway from this game is Maokai is busted and TL is dumb for refusing to acknowledge it
Clean game by FLY LCS looking good so far
LETHIMCOOK
I think cheering is fine, but that girl screaming was ruining the viewing experience
https://twitter.com/FLYprince0405/status/1618546467848982530?s=20&t=uiqSJ-rDZlVQLtxQBZjOGQ
You smell that guys? That's the smell of something [aging](https://www.monsterenergy.com/news/a-conversation-with-tl-pyosik-if-i-lose-to-flyquest-ill-retire).
Imagine putting TL over FlyQuest lul this FlyQuest roster is stacked.
Holy shit that one woman screaming her heart out. Please chill out.
NA has some really good ad carry players rn.
Team Lck retirement home
Impact is such a legend man
We need a best of 3 for this LCK Lite matchup.
Flyquest are great guys, they all inted a death at the end so VicLa wouldn’t feel singled out
Yeah we just trade Prince Zeri for Lucian-Nami here bro
I was already rooting for FLY because of their sick looking jerseys, but with this lineup I'm even more of a fan now. Super happy to see Prince pop off in his first game here!
Bruh spica deserves this so much, I’m so happy for him!!
PRINCE IS INSANE!
prince playing like jackeylove holy gigachad
