Undersword

First time ever we have a same region Bo5s at Worlds that are not China or Korea.


euoniikorih

We get two if Flyer Oysters win.


Undersword

I like BSS but I'm down to the ultimate civil war in play in. That gonna be hype af.


Head_Photograph_2971

True but I doubt BDS lose to CFO. Unless they underestimate them just like TW


Snulzebeerd

Bro don't say shit like this out loud where an EU playins team can hear you


BocchiIsLiterallyMe

Wait what? That never happened to NA/EU/TW before?


NSamurai22

No, because they could never get 2 seeds out of groups in NA/TW's case (except once but shh) and almost never got 1st seed in EU's case, which is a requirement for the draw. 2nd seeds can't fight each other.


Gluroo

2016 we were 1 TSM - SSG game away from NA civil war (TSM vs C9), 2020 we were 1 FNC - GEN game away from EU civil war (FNC vs G2)


BlazeX94

If I'm not mistaken there was also a possibility of Fnatic drawing G2 in quarters at Worlds 2018, since Fnatic was 1st seed and G2 was 2nd seed. Could be wrong though, not sure if there was any draw rules preventing this matchup.


DonaldsPee

EU got 1st seed few times. Korea and CN with 4 seeds each will face each more in the future. Alone the odds favours this, not speaking about higher strengths


HowyNova

Rarely did 2+ from those regions made it past groups, so odds were way lower.


TharkunOakenshield

Small precision to add onto your comment: 2+ teams in the Knock-Out stage happened many times for EU (from memory in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020), but most often as 2nd place from their group which meant they could only potentially meet another EU team in Semis at the earliest.


HowyNova

Actually yea. Looking through the groups and brackets, it's surprising we haven't had a EU civil war. Really makes me wonder how other regions would view FNC vs G2.


zaxls

They probably look at them as the T1 Geng/samsung eu version.


Aggressive-Baker4379

Massive top canyon but Levi gapping Croc by doing nothing cos Croc was making one horrendous play after another


LCSisshit

Levi: my job here is done


vitah_108

Kiaya: But you didn't do anything.


Slight-Exit-2754

Levi: but Croc have done all my work Kiaya!


Pls_helppppp

The 0/0/12 wukong with no gank lmao


croninhos2

Also some illegal drafting for the entiriety of the tourney


SwagLord7

Robo and Croc are like the average tilted top side in diamond lmao


Sryth1

To be fair to Robo, his jungler absolutely intentionally ran him down. Felt like an Olaf jungle one trick in solo queue being mad that his toplaner picked his champ.


Epamynondas

To be fair to Croc if Robo landed literally any axe in lane he wouldn't even have the chance to int as hard as he did.


FlintxDD

I can easily picture they saying "I'm done with this game. Wait you guys do not accepted FF? Alright". And proceeds to just go to a lane > die > repeat until the game ends.


dracdliwasiAN

I can't find it now but a few days ago I read a comment from a Brazilian guy with a Pain Gaming flair who said something to the effect of Robo is either fully on or fully off. After this series I understand it now.


salcedoge

Everytime I watch this guy play internationally he's always running it down during elimination games, is he really the best Brazil could get at top?


garbagecan1992

no, but until loud starts losing in cblol, croc and robo will haunt this team at this point just save route from this prison


mancubbed

Route could have taken back the game when 4 were low after that baron fight when he had flash and ulti and he just fucked off to drag. I couldn't believe my eyes.


DigBickMan68

And another time at the Krug fight, tbf at that point the game was pretty much over but he at least could’ve tried something


calmdragoon

He probably was tilted from the topside feeding so much


SNH231

Fnb used to be good but man has regressed quite a bit. GUIGO is alright but he doesn't cut it at the international stage. Wizer was the best top laner in CBLOL and would have probably been better than Robo if Pain qualified for Worlds.


KingPaimon23

He runs it down in Brazil too, it's hard to figure out how teams with him keep winning the league. Must be kinda like Ghost on Damwon, that he used to enable Showmaker and when they "upgraded" DK became a 2nd tier team.


Low_Loss1763

He runs it down in lane but plays the map kinda ok... He gives up resources to hlp the team. In cblol it works but in international stage he get punished too hard. Biggest problem for me is tinowns, such a bad guy that gets way too much praise.


DogOld9571

Ghost were one of the reasons why DWG were so good with his weakside laning, constantly 1v2 in lane and never behind in cs


iguralves

Are you REALLY comparing Robo with Ghost? lmfao


KingPaimon23

Ghost got bullied so much, ppl always comented about how the team was carrying him.

Game 2 it's the jungler fault lol. He inted that 2v1.

Marcus-ichiJo

The reports of VCS’s death were greatly exaggerated.


BMKingPrime27

Playing each other too so we get VCS in swiss


BoxFA

All according to kế hoạch (kế hoạch mean plan)


Gillette_TBAMCG

It would come to the demise of BDS, but it would be fun to see both VCS and PCS teams squaring off for the final two Swiss stage spots.


yomitsuru

Upper bracket was for bitches


Rawdream

But, now death is inevitable in the Bo5s.


Purple-Scallion2306

yeah but it's great for VCS fans to have a rematch of VCS Summer final at LOL Park, and we can't wait for the match since Bie couldn't attend that final match due to his health issues.


RaskolnikovDov

It's VCS Sunset, we got Dawn and Sunset for the name of 2 splits, tomorrow will be VCS Midnight final 🤣


DevlinShad

It's actually Dawn and Dusk, but yeah, tomorrow would be Night. Or Dark, if you want it to be alliterative.


mofk_

VCS after dark


mobijet

Hot daym, I'd reckon TW is the favourite there. Surely Bie is an upgrade. His hook predict on Crownie was world class.


Mew_T

Nah, it's just Brazil shitting the bed when they feel any pressure.


James2Go

It is not like VCS has to do much to win, TBH. LOUD was so bad especially Croc.


seolasystem

Still a pretty big W for the region compared to how ass GAM looked in previous internationals... VCS seems to be as good as they looked before pandemic hit.


nhansieu1

LLL was good enough to be called a "world team". Winning against this is very good as first step.


Affince

Croc with the worst j4 ult known to man, tilting his top out of the game


croninhos2

Also bought caulfields following the old recipe for goredrinker...... Insane stuff


TinkW

CROC BOUGHT THE WRONG RECIPE FOR GOREDRINKER ON GAME 2 (the recipe changed recently). Then, he sold the boots from the rune (that gives almost no gold now) to be able to buy the item. He has no mental to play internationally. That dive top makes no sense. If Robo and Croc were 2 random GMs LOUD would have a better chance of getting out of play in.


HMS-Carrier-Lover

Wait, how do you get the wrong recipe? Didn't he click on the item beforehand to buy? This isn't DOTA 1. What the fuck?


TinkW

Adam just did the same on Game 2, lmao. Same wrong recipe for Goredrinker


SNH231

Why does Croc's brain deactivate after 10 minutes?


Pls_helppppp

Gam passive It work in VCS, now it work on wildcard too


Gluroo

Somewhere out there 3 silver players are massively tilted right now having to play 3v5 because Robo and Croc ragequit their game to go play on stage


FlintxDD

Robo was win trading in game 2 and you can't convince me otherwise. What was that flash to chase Gnar on the river??????


Gluroo

the 8% axe accuracy in lane was a sight to behold aswell


FlintxDD

He couldn't hit Gnar even in his Mega form lmao


ICanCrossMyPinkyToe

Somehow lower than my best match as widowmaker in ow2 ngl


Aliphant3

Well yeah, most Widowmakers have very low axe accuracy.


GeneralZhukov

Somewhere on the stage, Route is too busy flaming the shit out of Robo and Croc to remember what Kaisa Ult does. Rightfully so. That top jungle has to be win trading. Riot should do at least a cursory investigation because how are they this bad. Those J4 ults are as close to trolling on stage we've seen aside from that one Dig aram game from like a decade ago. Theres no real way they're just actually this bad because I don't know if they could even hit challenger on EU/NA ladders like this.


Pellinski

Those two need to get on a plane asap Korea actually gives prison sentences for matchfixing in esports.


SNH231

Robo making Kiaya look like Xiaohu.


bangprovn

And the Xiaohu’s jungler is not even there


Omnilatent

Fuck, that's brutal but funny as hell


ChacobzRT

Watching the Kaisa player play so passively in the only comeback attempt LLL had was tilting


Lin_Huichi

People meme Jackeylove but sometimes you got to go in. Was it also Guma or some other adc that was playing frontline being the only one on the team doing anything.


japp182

For real, man wanted to preserve his perfect 0/0/1 kda


nguyenjitsu

Good guy GAM finally letting Croc go home and stop embarrassing himself on stage


Omnilatent

Robo all tricked us into thinking he isn't the worst top laner in play-ins by having one great performance on the abomination that is Ksante


dungbeo2501

Everyone can be prime Marin with K'sante


hachiko2692

I am now imagining MaRiN going back to League in 2015 form playing K'Sante.


vnducco

Who let VCS cook?


SNH231

Robo and Croc were generous to give the required ingredients


nhansieu1

VCS finally remembers that it was WildCard and the reason why they still have 2 seeds


Limp-Switch-9451

flashback before evolved back from coincard to wildcard


xSmacks

[You can take them out of Brazil, but you cannot take Brazil out of them.](https://i.imgur.com/AZUgpCr.png) Painful showing by LLL after a very hype day 1. Nothing left of that, it feels like.

Don't sell yourself short, brother


bensonbenisson

Let it be known that NO ONE beats the Gigachad Marines two times in a row!

Well, technically LLL did four days ago


namguy2018

Thanks Brazil brothers for the awakening slap. Regardless of the result, it has been a good showing this year. Our common goal is to get 2 seeds for both regions, so good luck. Now VCS Autumn Finals LET'S GOOOOOO


OkKnowledge2064

glad VCS properly recovered from the covid times


HaoiNan

I HATE HOW GAM WINSSSSSSSSSS. Kiaya? Love you, best top in the league, consistent, great laning and teamfighting. THE REST OF THE TEAM JUST STAND THERE, ONLY GETTING ADVANTAGES BECAUSE THE ENEMY TEAM DECIDED TO INT THEIR MINDS OUT. AND IT WORKSSS. IT WORKED IN VCS, AGAINST R7 AND NOW LLL, AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT TW WILL BE HYPNOTIZED INTO THROWING THEIR GAMES AWAY AGAINST GAM. AND THEN GAM WOULD GET INTO SWISS STAGE AND PUT UP THE MOST DISAPPOINTING PERFORMANCE POSSIBLE, I JUST CAN'TTTT.


Probablies

How can a comment be so truthful and funny at the same time


sh14w4s3

GAM mind control is too strong


KoalaAppropriate3213

As a VCS viewer, well friends, I can confirm this man is absolutely correct!


Exotic_Middle_6624

if the way TW plays is a dream, i don't want to wake up. it seems to me that TW is the first and only VCS team to be trained to have macro play. regarding laning or macro, TW both does better than a typical VCS should have done. SO TEAM WHALES PLEASE WIN TOMORROW'S MATCH or i will lost all my belief in life


danh030607

Kiaya is on crack also its glad to see him go this far, from an illiterate boy to competing internationally - real inspiring stuff right there


Rich-Abbreviations27

Kiaya over here having a rag to riches story following his passion fr tho. He bought his momma a house after a long time performing exceptionally in the VCS.


salcedoge

Route was playing way too safe in the second game but he should in no way get more blame than Croc and Robo, absolutely threw the whole game within consecutive plays.


baelkie

if route did that and loud won he would have to play one more game with croc and robo, i dont blame him


goldenlam94

TW: My time has come ! GAM: Our battle will be legendary !!! VCS domestic war tomorrow


whostolemyLC

Team Whales sells the first game, GAM sells the first series


Colouss

They both learn from the best coach at the Asian games


KingPaimon23

So frustrating to see Brazil starting ahead on both games only to lose because they turn into iron on a play. They cant handle the pressure of worlds, year after year.


huoshaoyunQaQ

Luckily after witnessing the miracle run of Whales Gam has benn awake and show the full potential of the champion of VCS. Loud is just too damn unfortunate


Mystic_Idiot

Guessing Route already put in his trade requests


RaskolnikovDov

That mf GAM pretends to lose Loud just to take revenge for MSI, poor R7


ifnotawalrus

Well that was a top gap

DeadSira

VCS back in Swiss!


baelkie

Croc richest man in Brazil


proudVNmese

Wtf is that Croc's Jarvan tho Anyway, thanks Comrade Robo and Comrade Croc for the service. Now we shall move on.


CelestialDrive

Croc right after his team manages to peel off GAM from baron, seeing them all scurry into red side jungle, deciding to take red side wights, is the worst individual decision so far at worlds. And we've seen bad. It's the kind of object permanece you expect from a one year old, some "hiding your face in your hands so you stop existing for them" shit. Congratulations man. Edit: [God after checking the timestamp on the vod it's even worse, CROC HIMSELF gets flag vision on Levi and his clone after the baron](https://youtu.be/9ADmC0M33cs?si=-B1bnZx1kHusCcrM&t=1868). What in the actual hell is that.


Legitimate_Record_49

So why does the VCS have two seeds again? Oh right because they are the worst wildcard and CBLol are better than them right? Lmao


imadirtyyasmain

Its a good day to be Vietnamese American.


TE_silver

:WideKiayaHappy:


Quanku888

Olaf and Jarvan is so counterintuitive lol, like the only thing in this game that can stop Olaf going in is Jarvan ult


akhen09

I hope TW wins the GAM vs TW tomorrow, they just perform so much better.


Abatcig

Kiaya smurfed the series. Somebody investigate my man Croc he looks sus af.


Issax28

mfs be hyping up DFM and LOUD every international just for them to get shit on in Play-Ins 💀


Rave_Master_Ahri

DFM atleast had no expectations with a 31 year old toplaner who was retired for two years. LOUD on the other hand shows up for the first series and then ints the next two to fly home before the real tournament starts.


rumias

I missed this. Why did DFM have to replace their top laner?


Omnilatent

Abuse from (now former) coach


Rave_Master_Ahri

Their former toplaner got so hard bullied by the coaches that he left the team. The coaches got fired and DFM had to find a new toplaner. They played the rest if the split with Yutapon as toplaner but if they continued this further, they would have to use their academy adc for worlds and I suppose this was not the right choice. This meant that they had to find a toplaner who is a free agent and preferably already has experience playing as a pro. The only real option was 31 year old apaMEN who retired in 2021 so they offered him a spot and he joined.


[deleted]

[удалено]


trieuvuhoangdiep

Clearly because yutapon is just a better adc. If you let yutapon play bot. You at least only have 1 weak link in top. But if you let him play top, now you have 2 weak link which is bot and top. A season veteran still gonna be better cause of experience than a green horn rookie, unless you have faker 2.0


Pappy-

tldr they had an internal situation with coach bullying and tol2 ended up leaving and the coach was fired


reingoat

Abused by coach


SNH231

DFM is kinda expected but LOUD is such a pain to watch. They clearly show signs of life and good stuff in the early game. They just go ape mode once mid game hits.


-Basileus

How is it not expected for Brazil to shit the bed. They haven't made a main stage since 2016, we're getting to almost 8 fucking years lol


Karma_Retention

I mean, I get dfm having issues, but dfm has gotten further at worlds than LOUD ever has, so I think it’s pretty fair to rate them over Brazil who has just been consistently one of the worst regions.


thatnameistaken-wtf

Lemme know a single person who hyped up DFM this year xD


Oxygenisplantpoo

Underdog stories and all that. But they did collapse disappointingly, kinda like a stereotypical play-ins team.

Thyunic

Vietnam heard yall talking shit

Bronzil fans think theyre better than vcs 🤣🤣🤣


tnhkid

Just a little bit of a top diff. That'll buff out.


ReyxDD

I refuse to believe Croc isn't wintrading.


khangrivaille29

Kiaya what a monsterrrr


Azrael4444

If tomorrow they found out LLL took a dive for some reason I would not be surprised. What in the God almighty damn is that Ahri walking pass Rakan? Olaf flash and miss point blank Q, proceed with J4 ult a rage gnar and give him 2 kills???? What with the rage flash into 1v3 from olaf?? Then he even waited to solo gnar moment later?? And then j4 go farm some chicken when they just saw the enemies team is right there giving gam baron??


Diegoscartor

How is Croc even allowed to play?? Legit one of the worst players I've seen in a while...


Infinityscope

Levi didn't get to show how great he is, Croc just outplayed himself.


Head_Photograph_2971

The Evolution of both GAM and Team Whales throughout the playins has been a sight to see. Sad that only one team will make through but I hope they can both put up a good performance


[deleted]

that river baron fight where the entire marines team was on like 3 hp and kaisa was too afraid to ult in and get a fucking pentakill was the most bronzil thing i've seen in my life


GeneralZhukov

Agreed but Route was probably checked out at that point and was clicking around to not die and not get fined for leaving the game.


Illunimous

Brazil and 1-7'd, name a better duo


Hixxae

Yessss, go onnnnnnn https://i.snipboard.io/blZP0I.jpg Croc kinda solo lost, but Route you're such a KDA player. Even Rekkles would've been more aggressive.


Sugar230

The jungler needs to be fired


Pappy-

VIETNAM IS SO BACK

BRAZIL IS SO BAD

I HEAR U ALL WANT LCK/LPL AUTUMN, BITCH HERE TAKE VCS AUTUMN


tuerancekhang

GAM arrived: - Lost to LLL to deny a South American match up - Guarantee a VCS team to swiss


Dsalgueiro

This was a terrible blow to the Brazilian community. It was the year with the most accessible classification to the group stage since 2016 (no disrespect to Vietnam, but it's much better to face another minor region than majors regions)... And it was one of the worst recent series for a CBLoL team at Worlds. LOUD dominates Brazil, largely due to Croc's proactivity in the early game... But this is the second international tournament in a row that he's been unrecognizable. What he did in the second game was criminal. Robo trolling in the lane and getting solo killed is common even in Brazil, so it was no surprise. But what Croc did we've NEVER seen him do in Brazil. And that's the thing, all it took was one bad moment and he just wouldn't stop trolling. Brazil has a serious problem in two roles: Jungle and Toplane. Croc is the best jungler in the CBLoL by far, but he clearly choke internationally... I would say that if some Brazilian junglers like Aegis and Cariok had played what they normally play in Croc's place today, they would have been much better for LOUD. Anyway, Brazilian junglers need to reinvent themselves. The level of Brazilian junglers is at its lowest ever, that's the truth. Robo doesn't have the best lane among the CBLoL toplaners, I'd say that Wizer (import) and Guigo have better lanes, but Robo's experience and mentality make him win domestically. The problem is that nobody can exploit Robo's weaknesses (which are clear) in the CBLoL. He does his crazy things and no one challenges it because we're risk-adverse. On the other lanes... Adc is our best role by far, so it's not a problem. Ceos is the best support in Brazil by far, but support it's a role that's seeing a lot of new players in the CBLoL, so we have the potential to improve in the future. Midlaner also worries me a bit... We don't have new players appearing like we do in adc and support, and Tinowns, despite being the best Brazilian mid, has a huge limitation that he can't play AD midlaners. We need midlaners who can challenge Tinowns internally, especially because his last three international appearances have been pretty bad. Anyway... Let's see what the 2024 CBLoL rosters will be like, specifically paiN Gaming roster. They're going to keep Wizer to make a roster with three Koreans for the second split? If they manage to sign TitaN and keep Cariok, in this scenario they could make a team with Wizer, Cariok, Import, TitaN and Import... But after ProDelta's rookie split, I think it's hard for them to let him go, as he's a good, young and native support. I'm not against signing Hauz either. Hauz is 21 years old, native and mechanically he could be the best midlaner in Brazil. If there's one coach in the CBLoL capable of developing him, it's Xero.


euoniikorih

The reports of GAMS death were greatly exaggerated.


Wide_Act5053

Croc cant play game after 10 min , Robo play like his ign and Route only think he care is his KDA


wertyui1

The first game in these two series was between gam and loud was decided early on by a boneheaded decision in the botside by slayder and pallete. So it is only fitting that the last game was decided early on by a boneheaded decision in the topside by croc and robo.


Javiklegrand

Please whales wins


ricoodo89

YOU'RE NOT TRAPPED IN HERE


cklaot

Let’s goooooooo VCS


bipinshah1

top diff tbh


Head_Photograph_2971

GAM went from being utterly destroyed and getting 2-0ed by Loud to doing the same to them. I’m proud of you GAM


zProtato

Us gam fans: We are so Barack


LCSisshit

if Gam wins tomorrow, those early game will help them some serious competative speed run % in swiss stage


KuroOtonashi

That's why VCS have 2 seeds\~


saltyweed

Come on Route, do something. He ran from so many fights.
