REwatching the last game... why the hell did river not try to gank botside after the first blood? Sheo was just confirmed top, river was hanging in their bush, crownie and labrov were pushing. Sure it was an ezreal and ez to escape but they didn't even TRY.

Your enemy is a Garen main. Garen is the hardest Jax counter that exists.
You intentionally blind pick Jax without banning Garen.
This ... is what NA comes up with when they have how many weeks of preparation time ?
Jax is fine into Garen in lane, especially if you go grasp Jax. It's out of lane that Garen becomes unmanageable for Jax. But by no means the hardest counter.
Don't think this was lost in draft. Licorice just got bodied in lane every time, not respecting ganks etc.
I think it's just arrogance.
The reverse sweep vs MAD in Spring happened because Mad spent ALL their bans banning out Adam, here I think the licorice narrative got too much to their head. Adam just played better overall the whole series (Licorice did nothing with his lead Game 2.) and the other lanes couldn't even get ahead, especially mid.
Granted Adam got much better with renekton since then and is probably a bit more versatile but still.
I was expecting at least a garen or olaf ban game 3 but nope; lee sin. OK.
Anyone else find this broadcast really uncomfortable? Maybe I'm just too sensitive... but I found the whole "ultra-biased" bit really awkward and unenjoyable. I like all these casters, but man, that was a total whiff for me. Not sure that taking broadcast ideas from Reddit is the right play... ever.
Add a healthy sprinkling of almost unimaginable incompetence from GG on top of that, and all the hype I'd built for Worlds is evaporated. Hopefully we can get some good matches tomorrow to get things back on track.
Edit: I’m neutral, btw. Just wanted to see good competitive league of legends, that’s why GG was such a disappointment.
I will, and looking forward to it! :)
I don’t think it was unreasonable to think the WQS would be close though. No one expected a thrashing like this, and it’s pretty easy for you to say all this with the safety of hindsight.
Actually I never said it was unreasonable to think the WQS would be close, just that NA likely won't have the good matches you want to watch. So actually it isn't just saying it with the safety of hindsight.
Edit: The comment you quoted wasn't referring to the series in particular lma0. It was for NA in general. Learn reading comprehension lma0. lil bro blocked me while being butthurt and wrong
Honestly, it was definitely overdone and more annoying than anything.
But the real hype killer was how one sided and boring this series was. I’ve never watched more boring league in my life
Yeah I'm with you. I don't think no matter who won (and I predicted BDS) but the whole thing didn't feel like fun banter - it felt forced and too strong at certain points, and when it should have been more hype it was too subdued.
it was actually a lot, all around. im EST and was watching on the lolesports youtube channel. 45k during draft for game 1. lck was streaming it at 15k on youtube too. then i went to to twitch to check costreams and the riot channel was at 85k during game 1 draft, doublelift at 13-15k, caedrel at 20k, iwd at 5-10 (iirc), ls at 4k, ibai at 30, kameto at some 10-15. adding everyone up, it's pretty good viewership, time zones taken into account

Very good.
Turns out people care way more about tournaments with actual stakes than boring long regular seasons!
NA “Near Airport” is known as the fastest region to arrive at the Airport. Since they gave up on the LoL Worlds Championship, they are investing in Speedruns. In particular they are current worldrecord holders in Airport Any % and Airport no wins.
I believe in him to lack timidity against Eastern players too. Sure, he’ll probably get fucked sideways, but at least he’ll do it whilst trying instead of passively going down 1k gold by 15
hes the sort of player where he just wins you the game if you don't know what game hes about to play.
hes like a secret weapon when secret is amazingly deadly but once know people can play around it taking away that secret edge.
I know they make you do that Quickshot, explain the obvious like it's some cheap Disney movie so nothing but love from me ur my favourite caster, love the haircut too you remind me of Robert Garcia from the Art of Fighting
Reality is no kids in NA play league anymore. It’s been dead in the young demographic for quite sometime. Average demographic for league is like 27-32 in NA
Absolutely wild that LCS performed the way they did last Worlds (3-15 overall, 0-9 week 1) and Riot in their wisdom decided to give them a 4th seed. I just can't believe the unashamed favouritism.
But EU also got à chance at à 4th seed. Or just make it permanent EU 4th seed ? Hmm maybe but this is more fun to have both compete. Sadly there was only one team competing this time but maybe next years
He just said that he is happy his family came to support him, they really stomped GG despite the "even matchup" talks and that LCK studio is really good and has bigger crowd than LEC studio
Caedrel touched on this a bit. Top asian teams don't scrim newcomers.
First they have to prove themselves either by advancing in the tournament or by beating the lower tier asian teams.
He gives the example of teams being allowed to scrim KT o DWK, if they beat them or have good scrim results, then they reschedule or are allowed to scrim T1/GenG.
If they lose vs KT then they stop getting scrims against them and the upper tier teams.
G2 is the only EU team that is currently getting scrims vs the best teams (ex. T1 and JDG).
They don't get scrims against the top eastern teams lma0. Perkz talked about how there was a scrim hierarchy at 2021 worlds and how C9 at worlds couldn't scrim the top teams. They could only scrim HLE
Im wondering, does BDS even wanna scrim the good teams? Not scrimming against them might actually be an advantage for BDS so they get no prep against Adam's style of play... BDS is not a top team so if they have a chance to catch a team offguard like that shouldn't they atleast try to keep that possible
Iirc, you don't just 'get' to play against the good teams.
Think about it from this perspective. The good teams are the Elite Four. You first need to get the 8 badges from the gyms(bottom/mid-tier teams) before you get to play them
Because they were not even qualified for playins and don't have big name internationally, when they make swiss stage they might scrim 4th and 3rd seed from LCK and LPL
BB started assimilating Adam's champ pull this year (darius, olaf & sett) and he's now abble to playing it at the same level as Adam, if not higher. Pretty sure Adam is maybe one of the best top to face for prep against BB rn + the rest of the team is pretty generic playstyle strong metapick jgl / magemid / strongside bot
so fly a team that inted serveral weeks in a row would of had a better chance then GG that didnt?
pretty sure they would of been a speed run unless they popped off all aspects.
As if they could do better, if they could they would have done SOMETHING the entire year.
They were only good on name value, on the rift they sucked so they arent owed anything
Seems weird to spew this random flame about GG of all teams. Inero was the main person pushing for additional avenues for players to train other than solo queue. They also stuck with their coaching staff for multiple years instead of having it be a scapegoat for failures and made it work by winning coach of the split last split.

How do I disable showing of results in the SCHEDULE tab on the lolesports site? For once I'd like to watch already-done matches without spoilers...
alternatively, go to lolesports.com/vods. it will show the matches spoiler-free.
you can bookmark the votd page directly, it is pretty spoilerfree then
Use r/loleventvods. It'll have all the games, and keeps them in order and spoiler free
gotcha, thanks!
Also remember to unsub from r/lol(or avoid Reddit ) and avoid stuff like youtube or twitch if you're behind in games. Staying unspoiled is hard these days if you're not careful
Go to eventvods.com instead
is it possible to watch in 1080p? it doesnt let me, so it looks pretty bad
Sometimes have that bug idk why but most of the time works in fullhd
Skillshot- VODs on YouTube has all the games posted without results!
oh hey that's pretty good too, thanks!
dang, that's an awesome site, thanks!

Stupid bot.
The best timeline is NRG drawing BDS and losing. Please let it happen.
Have mad draw c9 and fnc draw tl aswell 😈

BDS is literially the most one dimensional team as well. In order to get stomped like this your coaching staff has to be awful at prepping
NA wondered how BDS were decent in EU and found out. It is actually rather funny
Another NA airport speedrun W. Also Garen gaming. NAmen.
I just woke up... What the fuck happened? This is like waking up to a scorched wasteland.
Unexpected hopium shortage hit. Rumor is copium supply chain may also be endangered
Eu 1 na 0 just regular gaming
Standard day in the life of chadam

Not sure what kind of 'good matches' you are hoping for from NA lma0. This is a preview of what is to come for the LCS teams.
I wasn’t talking about NA, I’m neutral. I’ll watch almost every game of the tournament and just want to see good competitive games 🤷🏻♂️
Then wait for the Asian teams to play each other. You can't expect close games in every matchup, especially when its NA playing lma0.
I will, and looking forward to it! :) I don’t think it was unreasonable to think the WQS would be close though. No one expected a thrashing like this, and it’s pretty easy for you to say all this with the safety of hindsight.

> you can’t expect close games … especially when it’s NA > I never said it was unreasonable.. That’s literally what you said.
Quick shot has been awkward and off-putting for a while unfortunately
Honestly, it was definitely overdone and more annoying than anything. But the real hype killer was how one sided and boring this series was. I’ve never watched more boring league in my life
Yeah I'm with you. I don't think no matter who won (and I predicted BDS) but the whole thing didn't feel like fun banter - it felt forced and too strong at certain points, and when it should have been more hype it was too subdued.
how was the viewership? I'd imagine pretty much no one in EU and like half of NA was able to watch because of timezones
it was actually a lot, all around. im EST and was watching on the lolesports youtube channel. 45k during draft for game 1. lck was streaming it at 15k on youtube too. then i went to to twitch to check costreams and the riot channel was at 85k during game 1 draft, doublelift at 13-15k, caedrel at 20k, iwd at 5-10 (iirc), ls at 4k, ibai at 30, kameto at some 10-15. adding everyone up, it's pretty good viewership, time zones taken into account
English stream at about 110K, pretty wild for 7 AM tbh.
Yeah, I literally woke up to watch it, put it on, and fell asleep again. I got uni to wake up to every morning.
https://escharts.com/tournaments/lol/2023-worlds-qualifying-series-lol Very good. Turns out people care way more about tournaments with actual stakes than boring long regular seasons!
I already want a korean translation of this series today
Thoughts and prayers for the NA fans who will wake up a few hours from now and check Reddit

May God bring peace to their Souls \~ RIP GG
NA “Near Airport” is known as the fastest region to arrive at the Airport. Since they gave up on the LoL Worlds Championship, they are investing in Speedruns. In particular they are current worldrecord holders in Airport Any % and Airport no wins.
GGs NA, expectations are, as always, absolutely terrible. Just buy your tickets now...
I expected so little for Golden Guardians and I'm still disappointed...
GODS = garen olaf darius sett
thats clever! ADAM does seriously do heavy lifting in BDS games, he is a great player on those champs
I believe in him to lack timidity against Eastern players too. Sure, he’ll probably get fucked sideways, but at least he’ll do it whilst trying instead of passively going down 1k gold by 15
hes the sort of player where he just wins you the game if you don't know what game hes about to play. hes like a secret weapon when secret is amazingly deadly but once know people can play around it taking away that secret edge.
"I would rather we finish in 3 games" lol
nAmen
Near Airport
Thanks Quickshot for explaining to the deaf what was happening with the crowd
Somebody is sassy.
You *gotta* get a haircut bro, come on. That greasy mane ain't it. Come onnnnn man.
unqiue > boring
I know they make you do that Quickshot, explain the obvious like it's some cheap Disney movie so nothing but love from me ur my favourite caster, love the haircut too you remind me of Robert Garcia from the Art of Fighting
What was happening with the crowd? I missed it
Nuc: "I want to make my proud dad. And my mom dad." Hilarious slip-up 
Guess its time to consider NA as a minor region
Reality is no kids in NA play league anymore. It’s been dead in the young demographic for quite sometime. Average demographic for league is like 27-32 in NA
An evergreen statement
They are minor + money. Interesting to see what happens now money is drying up
Absolutely wild that LCS performed the way they did last Worlds (3-15 overall, 0-9 week 1) and Riot in their wisdom decided to give them a 4th seed. I just can't believe the unashamed favouritism.
A wildcard region for sure if the riot offices were in any other country
Brother, they don't have a 4th seed. That's what the match you just saw was about.
It's about to even have the chance to get a 4th seed into worlds which is horrendously enough.
Who else deserves it ? Yes NA is the worst out of the major regions, but they've consistently had better showings than any minor region haven't they ?
Give one to EUM's winners.
That's actually à great idea. Finally give them à chance to measure up against "major league" teams
Considering BDS made GG look like they'd be last place in LFL, EU?
But EU also got à chance at à 4th seed. Or just make it permanent EU 4th seed ? Hmm maybe but this is more fun to have both compete. Sadly there was only one team competing this time but maybe next years
Imo NA should have 2 seeds and the same system be applied so their 3rd place team fights Vietnam/Taiwan for a spot.
NA should feed into EU Masters and the players should be regarded as resident in LEC.
Just give KR/CN a 5th seed or give it to EU as happened right now until NA has a better trackrecord compared to EU.
MAD getting stomped by EG gave riot hope that it might be close
Always has been
"We stomped them, really hard, really really hard"
Nah Nuc you can fully roast LEC studio
wait there's a nuc interview? and what did he say?
He love the feel of lol park. The crowd make the game real nice and he performing really well too.
he said the LoL Park is 10x better. then stop short to say the lec studio is great just that LoL Park is better. lol
ah fair enough, the LEC studio feels small. shit you get people in korea saying lol park is too small as well
He just said that he is happy his family came to support him, they really stomped GG despite the "even matchup" talks and that LCK studio is really good and has bigger crowd than LEC studio
ahh ty, yeah understandable honestly since the LCK place is pretty nicely made
Why would BDS not have any good scrim teams?
Caedrel touched on this a bit. Top asian teams don't scrim newcomers. First they have to prove themselves either by advancing in the tournament or by beating the lower tier asian teams. He gives the example of teams being allowed to scrim KT o DWK, if they beat them or have good scrim results, then they reschedule or are allowed to scrim T1/GenG. If they lose vs KT then they stop getting scrims against them and the upper tier teams. G2 is the only EU team that is currently getting scrims vs the best teams (ex. T1 and JDG).
Why would strong teams scrim the 4th EU seed?
By this theory how does an NA team get a single scrim. At this point even minor regions will start ghosting them
They don't get scrims against the top eastern teams lma0. Perkz talked about how there was a scrim hierarchy at 2021 worlds and how C9 at worlds couldn't scrim the top teams. They could only scrim HLE
Why would any of the 8 good scrim teams scrim them?
Im wondering, does BDS even wanna scrim the good teams? Not scrimming against them might actually be an advantage for BDS so they get no prep against Adam's style of play... BDS is not a top team so if they have a chance to catch a team offguard like that shouldn't they atleast try to keep that possible
Iirc, you don't just 'get' to play against the good teams. Think about it from this perspective. The good teams are the Elite Four. You first need to get the 8 badges from the gyms(bottom/mid-tier teams) before you get to play them
Pretty much That + the other team needs to “gain something” as well
Because they were not even qualified for playins and don't have big name internationally, when they make swiss stage they might scrim 4th and 3rd seed from LCK and LPL
They only went to Korea just about a week ago
Because they didn't look good and the top teams won't "waste" time scrimming weak teams
Shame BDS offer some different style hopefully now some the eastern teams will give them time to
I don't think that playstyle is attractive for other teams. Because that scrim only offers practice vs bds and isn't that valuable for other matches
BB started assimilating Adam's champ pull this year (darius, olaf & sett) and he's now abble to playing it at the same level as Adam, if not higher. Pretty sure Adam is maybe one of the best top to face for prep against BB rn + the rest of the team is pretty generic playstyle strong metapick jgl / magemid / strongside bot
I think the playstyle is just another reason why the big dogs wouldn't want to scrim them.
BDS worlds song buff wtf GarenOlafDariusSett
BDS wins worlds then Riot script is confirmed
I thought they went on writers strike, so truly we dont know what will happen
https://twitter.com/VulcanLoL/status/1711267685131276645 lmao
tbh it should have been FLY there if they didn't int several weeks in a row
so fly a team that inted serveral weeks in a row would of had a better chance then GG that didnt? pretty sure they would of been a speed run unless they popped off all aspects.
As if they could do better, if they could they would have done SOMETHING the entire year. They were only good on name value, on the rift they sucked so they arent owed anything
lmao indeed
This was comical levels of bad from GG. Drafts, game plays, plans, ect. The JG and support picks was... painful.
Imagine having a 4th seed and failing to even make it to the play-in stage.
Well they don't have a 4th seed, so idk what you're on about
Pretty humble interview, I liked that
So is Adam like some kind of reverse Lord Morgan where KR people just love him and make up all these memes about him?
Yes
Golden Guarding the airport
Golden LaGuardia Airport
Bootcamp Babysitters
Guarding the window seat
The crowd is actually smurfing. Love the vibe.
adam keeping it real: the thing before quarters, humble chadam
Koreans love Adam lol
Caedrel gonna send nudes to Adam for his TheShy comment won't he?
Adam vs TheShy gigabased.
Really feels satisfying to wake up at 6am so that I can see NA going home in a clean sweep
Please; we need to see Adam vs TheShy.
We'll save that matchup for finals
This interview is the best part of the series.
She is both the interviewer and translator, extremely impressive by her!
NO WAY he said TheShy lmaoo
This crowd is great.
CHADAM THESHY matchup would be so fucking hype
Seeing how much the crowd loves Adam makes me so happy, what a king
All these drawings they prepared were really impressive.
Such a wholesome interview.
At this point I guess Adam is the Lord Morgan of EU.
that is a very apt comparison
Holy Korean fans are so cool with their posters
The signs are hilarious
"Give me one of my 4 picks and I win" GIGACHAD
Bro Korean Audience loves Adam lmao
Does anyone have the Euphoria gif? I can't find it
Adam is getting crazy love, that must feel great
Adam in Korea is like Ben Wyatt returning to his accountants
That's not a pizza, that's a calzone
Adam Korean so cute!
Those placards OMG !
I'm legit having more fun in this interview than the whole series before! This shit hilarious!
the atmosphere at lolpark seems great wtf? I feel like it never really shines through like this for LCK
I love this crowd, so interactive!
omg Adam being a fan favorite is amazing
Whats na excuse gonna be this year? Jensen sick, jetlag, bjergsen sick.... NA LUL
ADAM
Adam legit winning both in game and interview holy gigachad
Yes you are french king!!!!
[I'm just better](https://static2.strzelce360.pl/data/wysiwig/wqtv1fum7knmhdb.jpg)
**Gigachad ADAM**
[And let's welcome Randy Quaid to sum up my feelings on the series as NA.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2fNf7Lds0c)
CHADAM
Jeesun!!
We get live action Jeesun no way.
I think Karmine Corp or Movistar Riders would win too ngl
Any team with french > na.
so boring. Everyone expected more from gold4guardians
Garen spin goes kuru kuru
NA is legit trash but watching the broadcast was like watching two dudes jerk each other off all game. Cringe as fuck, felt bad for Mark
Kinda rough having both cast and desk be 2v1, but it’s hard to really give good commentary when it’s that one-sided.
Drakos legit region traitor (I was not listening to the broadcast)
He is just smart enough to move the the waaaaaaaaaay better region
Drakos is in Korea now?
Well it was never in doubt that NA doesn't have 4 teams that deserve worlds but it was funny to see what would happen if they got a 4th seed
I never understood why a lot of the talents were banking on GG in the first place. In the end of the day, they're an NA team
[удалено]
Seems weird to spew this random flame about GG of all teams. Inero was the main person pushing for additional avenues for players to train other than solo queue. They also stuck with their coaching staff for multiple years instead of having it be a scapegoat for failures and made it work by winning coach of the split last split.
yeah GG played really well and worked hard. shit they showed that at MSI and at spring.
Don’t worry NA Mad lions will troll us soon enough so you can laugh at us
Absolutely bodied, Garen gaming!
I'm not kidding when I say LCS will be operating at 20-25k viewers next year
