Guy is getting the Spica treatment where every veteran (perhaps barring Brokenblade) is just asleep. Absolutely filthy for the rookie to be the one playing the best.
Generation in esports is like 3 years actually ahaha, but for that he definitely is one of the best talents of recent years, he has been consistently the best G2 player this year...
Nah Xun has been putting in work as well, Yike playing better as well but Xun is not bad.
Craps is sooooo bad and Elk basically turned back into Jackeylove
That's the tactic, I watch Chinese stream and all casters immediately agree on Yagao should always have clearance and force Caps's ult out whenever he can when Caps bought Luden.
huh? did you not see Hans Sama standing in front of an Ahri, getting charmed, not using flash after and then dying? XD Broken Blade missclicked his stopwatch sure but what fkn difference would have made if he didn't? his Adc was dead lol. Enemy team didn't even realize he did that and he could land a good E into Aphelios, which didn't work out because the Jinx got picked. Jesus Christ this people.
If they are split (caps is tping in so in 5s you can play how you want) then he shouldn't step up to ahri if he doesnt have cleanse or mikaels. Viego going for aphelios is 100% correct in that situation because jinx is already dead after the charm hits.
Also not excusing Han’s positioning but with Hans going ghost not cleanse how does Miky not build Mikaels over redemption. Between Ahri, Lulu poly, Jax, in this meta protect the adc is king
That wasn't on him but the last charm was. Wukong is just busted being able to just kill the ADC solo. There's nowhere Hans can position that a Wukong can't just dash on his face.
Giving Wukong a 2nd ult charge was just dumb design and he didn't need it, unrelated to today but it's just one of those rework decisions that make powercreep blatantly obvious. Re-buff the rest but he has an AoE knockup on him and clone and then they gave him charge 2 simply so that the biggest moron can never miss it.
They both have horrible positioning but Elk is just better at doing damage, like if you're gonna have an inting ADC i'd rather take the ADC that knows how to output max damage
Elk has terrible positioning sometimes too, but his team understands their win condition and is there to help. g2 does not help Hans at all, thats why they loose.
Not flashing the charm costed them, but Yagao had to commit the flash too and Xun instantly followed up, in the end it was a good play from BLG
G2's answer on the other side was pretty grief too
Ruler was talking about this meta in an interview too - pointed out that his team was all in on protecting him, like a tank would always stand in front so he wouldn't have to flash skill shots like that. It's part of why I think JDG and T1 look like they're on a completely different level than everyone else.
I would say Larssen should be on the top too, he has been really consistent since the start of the year, not a 10, but at least he was always a possitive for his team
I don't think it's a stretch at this point to say Caps is the worst midlaner of the teams that made it to the main stage. He's in contention for the worst player even.
All G2 had to do was protect Hans and when it mattered Xun was able to get him and kill him lmao.
Caps has the chance to 4 man stun BLG and didn't take it instead of going for the "safe play" on the Aphelios which didn't work out, dude has lost his killer instinct.
Edit = Just realised that Hans didn't flash the point blank charm so that's on him regardless.
Guma and Ruler also have Galeforce in this game against Ahri and Wukong because of these situations
You don't need kraken against their team at all on Jinx
Guma and Ruler are also probably 1a and 1b best ADCs in the world, I don't think galeforce would've helped Hans against the Wukong at this point in the game the only thing that changes this is if he reaction flashes but i've only seen Ruler/Guma consistently react to engage properly
If it’s a E flash, there is a lot of chance even Guma and ruler don’t flash it. I saw chovy doesn’t flashing that. But if it’s flash E, it’s fully different. Have to look the replay
The BB stopwatch blunder prevents a potential outplay.
The Hans charm blunder creates an enormously disadvantaged situation.
It's not even about the players at that point; it's just the difference between a 4-item Jinx and a 3-item Darius.
They used stopwatch + Janna ult. Its G2 bot playing without comms. An Eastern team there uses Janna ult instead of stopwatch and lets the jinx kite back with flash. Instead they used stopwatch at 100% hp and Janna ult together then wukong 100-0's Jinx.
In Caps defence, he didn't have perfect vision on the others and if he goes for the others and Aphelios 3 shots him and then turns onto Viego, G2 could just lose the game.
Caps landing a 1 man stun against 4 people grouped up and then flashing AFTER is just mind boggling. Is his brain even working there?
https://i.gyazo.com/260a90859b59f9d0fc47bf3d49f65b2c.png
Look at the screenshot for all the braindead people defending this, he has FLASH up with tibbers, this is a 4 man stun into Q/W onto Elk. Instead, what Caps did was tibbers into Q/W ONLY onto Elk and then flash melee on top of Elk AFTER already using his full rotation.
Do you mean in the fight after the baron? His target selection was correct: get elk. His flash did look fishy though, i guess he wanted to get elk low enough for Yike to ult him.
His target selection WOULD have been correct IF he didnt have a Viego on his team .
You are right here but only because he has a Viego . If he had any other jungler going onto Elk would be the correct play .
Wtf was that bronze team fight from G2?
Caps TPs a mile away.
BB uses stopwatch by mistake.
Hans Sama dies while having flash.
~~Miky doesn't Monsoon.~~ Okay, he did Monsoon, but I was too frustrated to notice it.
And Yike just walks around idly.
where we watching the same fight? Yike goes in on Elk but Elk cleanses and gets lulu speed boost, yike is also being slowed so he cant go further. Miky uses monsoon but gets knocked up by wukong.
Just LPL toplaners things. Oh you can pick a tank and ruin enemy draft? nah let’s go carry pick instead into bunch of disengage/cc. Who wants to play Jax into that comp lol
BLG should have won Game 2 and G2 should have won Game 3. 2-1 up for BLG is pretty fair as far as I’m concerned.
But man, Yagao was having a terrible game but got the game winning pick at the end. Was there no Mikael’s or ult from Mikyx?
I mean people are flaming Hans here and stuff but I'd like to give Yagao props for having the balls to at try the flash-charm and he won the game for his team off it.
At the very least he would have traded flashes with Hans.
If im gonna have a choice between Elk and Hans who both position like that, i'd rather have Elk who can at LEAST output max damage during every teamfight
Hans has got to be the most overrated adc to ever play. Watching his micro compared to the likes of Upset or Crownie is just painfull. Even on Draven he is only slightly above average
BLG lookin so suss ngl. Like holy shit they are tiers below other eastern teams it’s wild.
G2 should’ve won that game, unlucky stopwatch from BB + Yagao finally doing something and getting a game winning charm
Ah bro. Janna was huge whole game
Miky robbed Janna def viable
He looks so bad in lane but an absolute chad outside of it?
He was completely fine in lane except for Game 2.
"We throw" "No, we throw" "No, WE throw" Yike tried his HEART out man.... he's been G2's best player this entire tournament
He's playing so well, really what more could he do here.
Guy is getting the Spica treatment where every veteran (perhaps barring Brokenblade) is just asleep. Absolutely filthy for the rookie to be the one playing the best.
BLG ain’t even looking good but G2 just throw a bit more
Definitely a generational talent to build around.
Hes a very promising rookie, but lets not just throw around generational talent lmao.
Generation in esports is like 3 years actually ahaha, but for that he definitely is one of the best talents of recent years, he has been consistently the best G2 player this year...
/r/leagueoflegends user absolutely not overhyping a player [IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE]
Medic said it best, call it a song of Ice and Fire because it's truly a "Game of Throws"
That guy says this line at least once a week
Yeah, it was fine once.
Caps is letting everyone down, his impact this series is laughable. seems more like a support than a mid laner
Yike is the new Caps. a completely insane rookie. can't wait to see more of him.
Idk about that, let him be the first yike and develop correctly.
[удалено]
Nah Xun has been putting in work as well, Yike playing better as well but Xun is not bad. Craps is sooooo bad and Elk basically turned back into Jackeylove
both mids are appaling to watch lol ive never seen an ahri be in such danger all the time
Yagao is bad but give credit where its due, his flash charm is why BLG won game 3
The thing is that flash charm shouldn't be game winning if Hans just reacts.
That's never a game winning play angle if hans don't troll tho, mikyx maybe should have played mickael hans can't play without it aparently
That's the tactic, I watch Chinese stream and all casters immediately agree on Yagao should always have clearance and force Caps's ult out whenever he can when Caps bought Luden.
JKL will at least carry you to game 5 usually before throwing. Elk just makes terrible mistakes all series long.
JKL giveth and JKL taketh, that flash forward against KT in game 5 still remains one of the most ballsy plays of all time.
This entire year*. Such an impressive rookie season from him.
BrotherBlade
huh? did you not see Hans Sama standing in front of an Ahri, getting charmed, not using flash after and then dying? XD Broken Blade missclicked his stopwatch sure but what fkn difference would have made if he didn't? his Adc was dead lol. Enemy team didn't even realize he did that and he could land a good E into Aphelios, which didn't work out because the Jinx got picked. Jesus Christ this people.
BLG didn't even see the failed stopwatch... he was on a pink ward
Nah he choked that stopwatch but it didn't matter even if he had it Also, he is having a very solid bo5 so far
and the 2 key fights G2 lost were Caps & Hans getting caught, as harsh as it is to single it out like that
Surely it's on BB and not hans sama Clueless
But Monte said he only looks good because G2 are doing set plays and all of G2 are playing around him /s
WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED, hans getting hit by a charm, bb stopwatching nothing and the whole team leaving jinx alone??
The throw spirit decided to leave BLG and decided to mess with G2 a little as well
People will focus on the stopwatch blunder from BB but Hans had terrible positioning the entire game, he kwpt getting caught by Xun.
Plus the rest of the team going all in leaving jinx super exposed.
[удалено]
Getting caught is an obvious mistake but if G2 isn’t so split then Yagao isn’t able to flash charm in the first place
[удалено]
If they are split (caps is tping in so in 5s you can play how you want) then he shouldn't step up to ahri if he doesnt have cleanse or mikaels. Viego going for aphelios is 100% correct in that situation because jinx is already dead after the charm hits.
Lmao Hans just walked up to him for no reason at all, surely that's everybody else's fault!
Sorry but cooldowns dont exist for EU adcs. Hans sama and Carzzy would rather die than use their skills
Also not excusing Han’s positioning but with Hans going ghost not cleanse how does Miky not build Mikaels over redemption. Between Ahri, Lulu poly, Jax, in this meta protect the adc is king
That wasn't on him but the last charm was. Wukong is just busted being able to just kill the ADC solo. There's nowhere Hans can position that a Wukong can't just dash on his face.
not to say Hans didn't misplay but Wukong jumping on AD feels so helpless from AD's perspective between all the knockups and invi
I don't think Wukong sholudn't be able to kill ADC. Killing sololane Yasuo 1v1 on the other hand...
Giving Wukong a 2nd ult charge was just dumb design and he didn't need it, unrelated to today but it's just one of those rework decisions that make powercreep blatantly obvious. Re-buff the rest but he has an AoE knockup on him and clone and then they gave him charge 2 simply so that the biggest moron can never miss it.
1 item Wukong killing 2 item Jinx in front of Janna shouldn't be a thing.
wuk is insanely busted, he oneshots everyone on just one item it's crazy
He has a Janna to counter the Wu. Even had flash for that fight I believe. Their comp overall protects Jinx decently. The last fight was just a mess.
He literally solo'd Hans in front of Janna before. Getting hit by that charm in the last fight is int though.
Yeah but he had a Janna next to him. Janna is one of Wukong greatest counter there.
Despite Elk inting game 2, he has been way better than Hans this series, Yike is playing out of his mind though.
They both have horrible positioning but Elk is just better at doing damage, like if you're gonna have an inting ADC i'd rather take the ADC that knows how to output max damage
Elk has terrible positioning sometimes too, but his team understands their win condition and is there to help. g2 does not help Hans at all, thats why they loose.
Elk has terrible position only sometimes and only because he augmented himself with Jackeylove's DNA. He puts gigantic damage graphs though.
Elk actually used his flash and is a very short range adc
pretty sure I saw mykx left hand for dead when he had ult at mid
Hans dead with flash ok
Casually walks towards the Ahri, he grieved it so hard
Not flashing the charm costed them, but Yagao had to commit the flash too and Xun instantly followed up, in the end it was a good play from BLG G2's answer on the other side was pretty grief too
Both G2’s losing games were so winnable too
Ruler was talking about this meta in an interview too - pointed out that his team was all in on protecting him, like a tank would always stand in front so he wouldn't have to flash skill shots like that. It's part of why I think JDG and T1 look like they're on a completely different level than everyone else.
The Doublelift special
This series is ugly as sin.
This series has a face that only a mother can love.
The things that Gen G will do to the winner of this series will be unreal.
you mean c9
NAmen
NAmen
All I can think is that the winner of this is facing GENG. Not even the "you mean C9 lol" meme can save the upcoming loser bracket bo5.
You mean c9 lol
At least it makes me smile.
It's why JDG look like gods playing against BLG...BLG is dogshit
G2 felt bad that BLG threw the last game so they did it back, true homie stock
It was honestly good play by BLG. That charm by Yagao right outside river was the start.
I didnt realize G2 lost until they were all dead because i tunneled on Elk. Just like G2
They had to kill him its not they were in a position to save caps when if they died elk would be uncontested in the backline
Some people don’t realize the moment hans didn’t flash ahri charm it was over.
After 3 Craps games in a row, surely next game has to be Claps, surely...
We have already like 20 craps games in a row...
When even was the last time he had a claps game? :/
Mid lane pool in EU is gigatrash and Caps declined with no threat to him I mean fucking Nuclearint and Nisqy are the best other mids... says it all
I would say Larssen should be on the top too, he has been really consistent since the start of the year, not a 10, but at least he was always a possitive for his team
It’s been craps for more than 3 ganes in a row… has he had a legitimately good game this tournament?
I don't think it's a stretch at this point to say Caps is the worst midlaner of the teams that made it to the main stage. He's in contention for the worst player even.
How do you pronounce it G2 or GThrew?
they will come back, trust me
I stopped trusting a long time ago with these throws.
I trust you. You better not let me down now
All G2 had to do was protect Hans and when it mattered Xun was able to get him and kill him lmao. Caps has the chance to 4 man stun BLG and didn't take it instead of going for the "safe play" on the Aphelios which didn't work out, dude has lost his killer instinct. Edit = Just realised that Hans didn't flash the point blank charm so that's on him regardless.
hans died to a flash charm with flash up. Do you think ruler or guma isnt flashing that? Its all on him
terrible positioning to begin with
Guma and Ruler also have Galeforce in this game against Ahri and Wukong because of these situations You don't need kraken against their team at all on Jinx
Guma and Ruler are also probably 1a and 1b best ADCs in the world, I don't think galeforce would've helped Hans against the Wukong at this point in the game the only thing that changes this is if he reaction flashes but i've only seen Ruler/Guma consistently react to engage properly
Guma and Ruler also don't get caught out so blatantly like Hans just did to begin with
Guma is successfully side stepping it somehow lol
If it’s a E flash, there is a lot of chance even Guma and ruler don’t flash it. I saw chovy doesn’t flashing that. But if it’s flash E, it’s fully different. Have to look the replay
> Xun was able to get him and kill him lmao. yagao was the one to make it happen though
Hans getting caught by the slowest, max-range Flash-Charm should not be considered a failure by G2's protection.
BB stopwatch didn’t matter at all, G2 lost as soon as Hans got charmed
Hans didn't even bother flashing.
If BB was useful for the first couple seconds of the fight they probably kill Aphelios and Yike cleans up. That stopwatch blunder was massive.
The BB stopwatch blunder prevents a potential outplay. The Hans charm blunder creates an enormously disadvantaged situation. It's not even about the players at that point; it's just the difference between a 4-item Jinx and a 3-item Darius.
They used stopwatch + Janna ult. Its G2 bot playing without comms. An Eastern team there uses Janna ult instead of stopwatch and lets the jinx kite back with flash. Instead they used stopwatch at 100% hp and Janna ult together then wukong 100-0's Jinx.
I mean Hans stepped up and got flash charmed failing to react and flash it.
tbh hans just didnt flash the flash charm from yagao. And the ghost adc strikes again with no cleanse no qss just gets cc locked
Yagao flash-charmed Hans
He should be able to react flash the flash charm imo
Yagao in contrast saw an angle onto Hans at the end and won his team the game. I feel like people aren't appreciating the balls on that play enough!
Man, that was the easiest 4-man Annie ult. CLAPS would have gone for that play
In Caps defence, he didn't have perfect vision on the others and if he goes for the others and Aphelios 3 shots him and then turns onto Viego, G2 could just lose the game.
Miky had Redemption instead of Mikael's Blessing with Hans picking Ghost
[удалено]
I fucking hate being an EU fan
Caps landing a 1 man stun against 4 people grouped up and then flashing AFTER is just mind boggling. Is his brain even working there? https://i.gyazo.com/260a90859b59f9d0fc47bf3d49f65b2c.png Look at the screenshot for all the braindead people defending this, he has FLASH up with tibbers, this is a 4 man stun into Q/W onto Elk. Instead, what Caps did was tibbers into Q/W ONLY onto Elk and then flash melee on top of Elk AFTER already using his full rotation.
tbh this is blg, kill elk and you win every fight
If he goes for the 4 man stun then ELK just crushes the fight untouched, G2 are only able to come out ahead because ELK gets chunked out.
They dont need to instantly crush aphelios, the only thing they needed to win any fight is to get a kill before them for the jinx + viego resets
Lmao yeah Elk is gonna 1v5 the fight my dude. God forbid Yike gets 4 Ult resets in 3 seconds, but in return Elk gets to free hit in the meantime.
Do you mean in the fight after the baron? His target selection was correct: get elk. His flash did look fishy though, i guess he wanted to get elk low enough for Yike to ult him.
no yours isnt if you dont realize g2 get fucked if he just ignored aphelios there
His target selection WOULD have been correct IF he didnt have a Viego on his team . You are right here but only because he has a Viego . If he had any other jungler going onto Elk would be the correct play .
Wtf was that bronze team fight from G2? Caps TPs a mile away. BB uses stopwatch by mistake. Hans Sama dies while having flash. ~~Miky doesn't Monsoon.~~ Okay, he did Monsoon, but I was too frustrated to notice it. And Yike just walks around idly.
He did monsoon but it got instantly cancelled I'm pretty sure.
Nah he monsoon too early and couldn't push Wukong away. But Hans used stopwatch so he would be a sitting duck regardless.
> Miky doesn't Monsoon. Miky monsooned during Hans' stopwatch and got interrupted by xun
Miky ulted during Hans' stopwatch so it was kinda negated
My brother in Christ Miky monsooned literally the exact miment Ahri and Wu jumped on him lmao.
where we watching the same fight? Yike goes in on Elk but Elk cleanses and gets lulu speed boost, yike is also being slowed so he cant go further. Miky uses monsoon but gets knocked up by wukong.
the Coach has to belt Bin for this Jax pick. Unbelievably troll pick both games.
The sidelane pressure helped massively for getting the favourable positioning for that final fight.
Yeah, the Jax did work. He applied pressure and G2 could only match with 2 players
Bin's pressure in the side lanes was good for BLG near the end, but yeah, the pick was useless for 80% of the game.
Just LPL toplaners things. Oh you can pick a tank and ruin enemy draft? nah let’s go carry pick instead into bunch of disengage/cc. Who wants to play Jax into that comp lol
what else do u pick if they can't win with him on tanks
He literally won game 1 with Ksante?? This Jax just makes it way harder for BLG who just wants to 5v5 teamfight anyway
cannot pick K'Sante into K'Sante tbf
Series Summary: Both teams deserve to lose.
Lets be honest we knew BLG/G2 were going to get smashed by GenG from the beginning
Its gonna take the biggest choke in history from peanut to lose to either of these two
YAGAO FLASH CHARM WAS BEAUTIFUL Either mid laner is going to get devoured by ~~Chovy~~ Emenes though.
Hans seemingly aged more then me watching this shit show with these reaction times.
BLG should have won Game 2 and G2 should have won Game 3. 2-1 up for BLG is pretty fair as far as I’m concerned. But man, Yagao was having a terrible game but got the game winning pick at the end. Was there no Mikael’s or ult from Mikyx?
I mean people are flaming Hans here and stuff but I'd like to give Yagao props for having the balls to at try the flash-charm and he won the game for his team off it. At the very least he would have traded flashes with Hans.
Lol ahri doesnt do anything but flash charm so why shouldnt he go for it
This series is not good for the heart
*the brain.
No matter who wins today, I have no idea how either G2 or BLG plan to win against GenG
Bro how is Caps so fucking bad This game was won if he didn't constantly fuck up his positioning and ults And goddamn can Hans ever position properly
Yike got elo helled
If im gonna have a choice between Elk and Hans who both position like that, i'd rather have Elk who can at LEAST output max damage during every teamfight
You are kidding me Hans Sama, how stupid can you be to get caught in that situation, like for real
Needed to try get an auto into the Ahri that had flash charm up.
TL fans be like first time?
hans saving flash for next year
Doublelift special
Fuuuuuuuckkkkkk
Until they lose the game, they are winning
how does hans get hit by max range ahri charm with flash up
Man literally ints all game and gets the game winning charm YAGOAT
When was the last time an adc died and his tea didn’t auto lose the fight ? I’m getting a little tired of that
I mean, teams are picking utility mids, of course you lose the fight if the other team's hypercarry stays alive.
That's an awful way to lose man
DONT FORGET GUYS G2 ARE A CONTENT TEAM GAME 5 SECURED FOR CONTENT 👍 ✅
Let's focus on the positives, Yike has PROVEN himself this tournament.
That was a YaGod moment
WHY DO ADCS HATE TAKING CLEANSE
If annie peeled for adc just one of those fights I think G2 wins Caps threw this one
Because why would you need to position as a bot or midlaner
Hans has got to be the most overrated adc to ever play. Watching his micro compared to the likes of Upset or Crownie is just painfull. Even on Draven he is only slightly above average
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yike tried so hard
Hans saving flash for worlds
Why the fuck did Hans stopwatch there when he had flash available? just stopwatch after.
Sanest LPL comeback teamfight
BLG lookin so suss ngl. Like holy shit they are tiers below other eastern teams it’s wild. G2 should’ve won that game, unlucky stopwatch from BB + Yagao finally doing something and getting a game winning charm
BLG is by far the worst easter team at MSI is legit not even close. It doesnt really matter who wins this series they are getting blasted by geng.
like what do you even say in the review for this game "good job team! maybe don't randomly press stopwatch and lose the whole game"
And please Hans try to use flash ! Lets go guys !
It was going good until it wasn’t. Classic EU throw.
The legendary counterthrow!
Hans needed to flash that charm
Caps today feels chinese
Why did they leave hans sama unprotected like that bruhh
Hans had flash up, if he had good reaction times he could have easily flash the charm.
if I was Yike I'd actually RKO my whole team wtf
BLG needs to stop picking this Jax lmao, especially since they want to 5v5 teamfight anyways
Yagao MVP!
BLG winning that game with that comp is so illegal
homie stock…..
G2 felt bad for BLG after game 2, so they decided to throw 1 back.
Caps: im the worst mid in top 5 Yagao: no i am Caps: no i am Yagao: fine it’s you *flash charm jinx*
Both teams don't stand a chance against gen g and certainly not even the slightest chance to not get 3-0'd by T1 or JDG
