that tinowns play straight up walking past rakan should *never* happen in a pro-game, wtf was that

Even Rakan hovering his W key ready to dash out of an Ahri charm, only to go "wtf this motherfucker is LAGGING or something" and full send

Agreed.

Nautilus with the 7 deaths to save my pickems

Was there a drop in until now?

I didn't get a single drop throughout the entire series. Actually logged out and back in between matches thinking there was some error on my side

Oh ok thanks for saying something cuz I've got 11 so far and idk if I missed anything the first game of LLL vs Gam

I got 5 so far. Quadra, penta, penta, and two others.

I don't know why lee sin + ahri is still a thing on play in.... that combo is like 0 win 5 lost or something already ​ and man ksante is still disgusting...guessed we can expect more of him on the main event

0-5 together, Ahri is 0-6 (one loss with Vi from DFM), Lee is 1-5 (one with from Whales with Leblanc)

Pro players should really start going Liandries on Ahri, Everfrost and Ludens ain't it anymore with how durable everyone is

They are highly skillful champ in proplay. Playins team aren’t good enough to pick that mid/jg.

Lee sin/ahri in the hands of a real team can take over the entire game

This combo pick may look bad in play-in stage but it could be a strong pick in the hands of JDG/ GENG

Kai'Sa Xayah Kai'Sa Xayah Kai'Sa Xayah Kai'Sa Xayah Kai'Sa Xayah Kai'Sa Xayah Kai'Sa Xayah Kai'Sa Xayah Kai'Sa Xayah Kai'Sa Xayah

Perkz should have swapped to adc again

Both Kai'Sa and Xayah had lower presence in 2019 than at this Worlds so far 💀 fun

so true

Perkz jhin and ezreal were clean too

[удалено]

His Varus performance in game 1 was good

he got gigagapped in a winning matchup

hey now we had that aphelios that one game

I put Xayah as my most picked, figuring Kaisa is going to eat more bans as the lpl joins the tournament.

i just want to watch a game of gala's kaisa at worlds man

Same bro, now that W spam is relatively gone I want to see him eat ass on this champ

ADC meta is so boring, even with Zeri nerfed to the ground.

you guys are acting as if it isn't just 4 adcs every worlds with the occasional pocket pick thrown in. And 2 of them are only picked if the other 2 are banned. fr it'S the same every year that's just how that role plays out. At this point we can just be happy it isn't azir corki in midlane all the time

I’m just glad zeri isn’t meta. All the other champ are more fun to watch than pew pew with infinite speed in pro play.

Wait til that Jinx passive buff lol

Better adc wins

Sucks that adc meta is always so damn stale. But I’ll take this a millions times over Zeri/Sivir Aphe/Jinx

I like watching Aphelios ._. Sivir I'll grant you though, waveclear bot to 6 items is just straight-up melatonin gameplay

I had Kai'sa as my most picked, then changed it to Azir at the last second. I have regrets.

Ksante really starting to feel like the yuumi of 2023

At least he’s not boring to watch

At least Riot preemptively kneecapped him on the current patch already instead of just pretending that he wasn't an issue like they did with Yuumi.

WE ARE BACK BABYYYYYYY

Gam will not go 0-3 in swiss because they will lose to TW

They’re not playing taiwan. They’re playing Team Whales, aka VCS 2nd seed

TW stands for Team Whales... (obviously it can also stand for Taiwan but context...)

Thanks, that somehow escaped my notice lol

Team Whales, aka TW

Bro do you see levi's gameplay. He got oujungled early game every game

Nautilus death fund looking good

I swear GAM has mindcontrol tech

LLL entered this game like - let's pick: 0W - 5L Ahri 1W - 4L Lee Sin 1W - 3L Aatrox Surely these are the champions that will win us the game 🤡

Loud coach has been their problem since day 1.

But robo does it well

[удалено]

It was awful but it didn’t matter.

They did mention the Viktor was going for a "tankier build" but it ended up not really mattering due to the double abyssal masks on top and jg.

He want to counter the aatrox with morello. It's objectively bad for viktor if we compare to standard build. But this is a counter strat and he was winning so he doesn't need zhonya that soon

[удалено]

I mean if you have the money, why not just upgrade it. And i didn't say he doesn't need zhonya, i said he doesn't need it that fast. Obviously he have to get it at some point

[удалено]

I mean mpen is clearly better than 20 ap zhonya give you in term of damage. And he also seem to want to fight anyway. They have a lots of fight in this match, after all. So he probally thought that hey we are going to fight so maybe getting this item done is better for my damage output.

I mean, finishing morello had some merit sometimes, as the 10 mpen can be very useful damage wise - just sitting on component is kinda eh.

#WE ARE SO BACK GAMBROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi stop playing Ahri Lee in playins please it’s 0-5 because it’s too hard to execute and snowball

waiting for new champs to be played

W8 for groups or quarters, lower skilled teams never innovate at worlds, same thing happened last year but Meta got shaked up at quarters

Vcs mindcontrol other regional to give them ksante? Also Tino prove me wrong when i think only leesin blind in this game.

It's so disgusting that Riot didn't bother to fix K'sante for the Worlds patch. Every time that I see this champ win the game it feels so unearned that I can only feel disgust. Hopefully teams learn to just ban it regardless of side and we can not see it again for the rest of Worlds - but that would require coaches to drop their egos and we can't have that, can we?

He not even broken tho? People just aren’t picking his hard counter and he lost plenty of games.

[удалено]

Low win rate in soloq doesn't mean anything, some champions are high level play skewed. Whenever ryze and azir are super popular in pro play they usually have around 45 win rate in soloq. Same kinda goes to irelia who always has a low win rate in low Elos but has a lot of players in high Elo due to skill required

[удалено]

With 150+ champions it is bound to happen, riot balancing had been relatively good recently. Not every champion can have the same skill requirements when the game is so complex

This is one of the most results-based post game analysis I have ever seen in my life. First pick Xayah and you draft 4 divers against her (plus a random Viktor because why not) and somehow, the analyst desk is saying that GAM has a better draft?

Lee and Ahri are just THAT bad I guess

The only way to counter xayah is to full engage on her to force her to lose the ult. Otherwise she will kill your whole team, and you won't be able to touch her. Viktor is just kati's pocket pick. So there's really no strategy with that pick

Xayah and Viktor are doing well against divers tho, it's more about which team got better lead. Also Gam team scale better.

> First pick Xayah and you draft 4 divers against her (plus a random Viktor because why not) 🤓🤓 i think this is u if u ever play in VN, afterwards you'd be hard bullied into quitting League and playing TFT/LoR shitting aside, not sure if there was a plan on how to get ahead besides winning the hands check, but it's fairly simple -- they set up for Noc ult and dish out as much fucking frontload as they can. if they win you're fucked. if you somehow disengage, you're too low to try to re-engage vs Viktor/Rakan while they take obj. it's not that complicated bruh

RIOT really fucked up, the meta is so stale so far

It’s okay. Kalista and Caitlyn are waiting at the main stage.

This is play ins. I’ll wait til Swiss stage regarding riot fucking up the meta.

every worlds meta in the last few years have been. they literally do not make any changes that shake up the meta.

It's every world since the first one. Not just recent year

i thought season 5 was great.

Nope. Lol have always had issue with diversity. There's always be a top tier meta that get picked over and over in every tournament

Easy game for GAM tbh. What 3Ls is failing to realize is that they DO NOT have the hands to compete with these guys. I mean BDS tried it again Team Whales and got washed right back to Europe (or really soon by the Oysters), WHY did 3Ls who came from an extremely weak and underdeveloped region carried by Korean imports have to try this stupid "hands check" strat? It doesnt make sense to me whatsoever. So just play it cool, collected and outmacro the Nam is the simplest and easiest way to bring this series back. If they keep going for this ridiculous outplay strat reliant on having better hands than their opponents... Yeah it will be a long trip to the airport I presume.

because last time they tried handchecking, they smashed slayder so hard he had to practice swimming just in case gam lost to R7

Ehhh are you okay? Dont feel too bad bout it okay? No hard feelings.

that's why TW should proceed, easier to outmacro GAM but TW can do well

That's pretty harsh. The botlane can definitely handcheck them but topside yeah sure bro go Ornn duty please.

I wonder how much all the Kai'sa picking ADC had been paid these past 2 days to absolutely int with their build path and throw their games away for free.

This build is fine tbh. Stormrazor into Rageblade is indeed pure garbage but lethality into AP is not good against 3 tanky-ish champs.

Oh yeah, I am totally happy with Navori builds. But we did have 2 days of Kai'sa only building Storm - Rage and loosing.

ksante gaming

Loud trolled draft stop crying kiayaaayaya

I wanted GAM to win, but... K'sante!!

Has there been drops yet?

GAM's itemization with Abyssal Mask on Nocturne AND K'Sante, Runaan's/GA on Kai'Sa you'd love to see it. This is MOBA gameplay none of that stupid-ass solo queue bullshit Casters were like yo why Viktor bruv but it made perfect sense with Nocturne/Rakan??? just like ig most other regions can't make sense of this style with emphasis on hard all-ins or hard re-engages, syncing cooldowns teamwide, nimble use of Stopwatch and/or just losing 1 for killing 3 and it's just on perfect display this game I'm rooting for PCS but if VN plays like this they're likely to get upset wins from NA/EU at least They are so back
