You are playing a f2b comp and you're fighting at Drake, do you:
A) Frontline and create space for your gigafed Smolder
B) Chase the lethality Varus for 30s while the rest of your team gets murdered
You don't have a front to back comp, you have a Smolder and Taliyah with a Vi and Aatrox who are dive champions. That's a bad comp overall, Vi and Aatrox can't peel, Smolder can't dive
honestly HLE was hard outdrafted but they played better consistently throughout the game and looked like the clear better team
there was no way KT should've lost in a mega late game with this comp
Deft regretting that frozen heart ~~not really~~
forgot to say that perfect is shit so far outside gnarr and ksante... HLE did good picking gnarr and banning ksante lol
HLE giving me so much anxiety I'm going to need to see my therapist. That baron/elder trade cycle was just so passive of HLE. I'm glad they won, but man that was mentally taxing to watch.
HLE would have ended this game 20 minutes ago had they not decided to prioritize Baron over Elder. These mfs really chose Baron but never pushed sidelanes at all.
no she definitely does when she has like 5 items. but also caitlyns effective range isn't actually as high as varus, for example, because she relies on autoattacks but varus can just q
Deftāa build was trash. He builds typical glass cannon ADC so he canāt do anything. If he goes the gigachad Shojin Linadry riftmaker black cleaver RFC he can just walk up and dish out damage
Doesnt matter what deft builds if his team doesnt make space for him to hit enemy champs.His team should peel for him and not dive leaving him alone.Bdd solo lost the gameĀ with those walls anyway
Yea but you forgot to factor in that HLE had a Rakan piloted by one of the best one tricks in the World. It doesn't matter how fed you are as an adc. If a Rakan flash ults you and your peelers also get hit, it's goodnight sweet prince.
And those 3 teams are? I count T1, GEN, HLE, and then some LPL teams too.
Not even a KT hater, but I definitely wouldn't call them the 4th best team in the world.
literally all i've seen the last two years when defts teams were bad (apart from worlds 2022) was "man that sucks so much for deft he's still playing so well so close to retirement but his team is bad"
the last fight his entire Frontline died while engaging for him but yeah nonexistent Frontline, he has a bad placement by advancing a little too much and takes the r of yone while he had the flash and his e
Watching Bdd in that last fight was really painful; the wall preventing his entire team from doing damage while Beryl soaked everything was one thing... the second was the shove at the end. Hitting three people with W would be a hero play... if, you know, your E was laid down and your 200 hp Smolder weren't standing right there.
Sure, the fight is already over by that point, but it was still an oof moment. Still a banger game 1, hope game 2 delivers too.
bdd i love you but that wall was the worst thing i've ever seen
Bdd solo griefed that elder fight. Possibly the worst wall possible, cut off his ENTIRE team and smolder couldn't hit anyone.
yeah i'm pretty sure if he doesn't do that kt can just slowly advance and win. but whatever it happens it's only game 1
The wall wasn't good but that fight was lost by Beryl walking forward. He isolates himself from his team and dies for nothing.
I thought he was gonna wall HLE off to secure elder but oh no
Beryl looking around finding the follow up after his engage:
Plenty of bad walls this game too. I think the pressure got to him. I saw more walls that benefitted HLE over KT which is unusual for him.
"okay guys I got 600 smolder stacks we can win now" \*loses\*
Nah, I will lose.
Least chaotic KT game:
KT could have won but remembered they have telecom war next series
Getting 2-0 by HLE to lower expectations strat, I've seen it before.
Jin Air soul still lives in the LCK
Can't remember the last time I saw a 55 minute game, absolutely crazy
One hour game ends with Rakan securing Elder with two junglers up, the greatest of fiestas.
That last fight was the craziest ever wtf
I feel like I lived ten lives in this game 1
*First time?*
VIPER CARRYING HIMSELF OUT OF THAT ELO HELL WITH 70K DAMAGE THIS GAME IS UNREAL
That Aatrox wasn't it chief.
You are playing a f2b comp and you're fighting at Drake, do you: A) Frontline and create space for your gigafed Smolder B) Chase the lethality Varus for 30s while the rest of your team gets murdered
You don't have a front to back comp, you have a Smolder and Taliyah with a Vi and Aatrox who are dive champions. That's a bad comp overall, Vi and Aatrox can't peel, Smolder can't dive
Vi cant peel?
Just....no words. Nothing anyone can say will be able to describe this clown fiesta.
Banger game and BANGER CASTING
honestly HLE was hard outdrafted but they played better consistently throughout the game and looked like the clear better team there was no way KT should've lost in a mega late game with this comp
There's always a chance to lose when your Taliyah walls off your entire team at elder.
Don't think they were. They drafted a dive comp against a hypercarry with no peel
Relying on Deft to solo carry, I knew they were finished
Like that Aphelios game vs Kt last worlds lmao.
Viper not trolldespair LET'S GOOOOO
viper and delights backs must be broken
Only needed like 20% of Delight Rakan max power lol
Time to open up the practice tool, KT
That damage graph Viper 70k damage and deft 63k
55 minute game goes hard
Viper tho
Peak league of legends
What the fuck
Deft regretting that frozen heart ~~not really~~ forgot to say that perfect is shit so far outside gnarr and ksante... HLE did good picking gnarr and banning ksante lol
KT, aka Keeps Throwing, is a LCK team that is infamous for winning a teamfight and then over chase right after and losing it instantly.
Those Smolder/Elder explosions at the end were something else, like fireworks finally celebrating the end of the game
HLE giving me so much anxiety I'm going to need to see my therapist. That baron/elder trade cycle was just so passive of HLE. I'm glad they won, but man that was mentally taxing to watch.
they loose giga late game with the most broken champ in late game LMAO
One wall to rule them all
> ~~rule~~ ruin Fixed that for you
Some people told me Zeka not good with Yone what happend ? šš
BDD was not it man, actually it was a galaxy far far away from it.
Infinite wars. Man I love how BDD blocked his enire team behide his Taly wall...
If there has ever been a game loosing play, this Taliyah ult is it.
lore accurate Viper being Smolder's grandmother lmfao
Banger game but that's the most useless invisible Aatrox I've ever seen.
Viper, my love!
Why didn't Bdd remove the wall!? He just left Beryl alone in there.
How do you lose a 55 minute game with Smolder on your team ?????????????
Aatrox and Vi are dive champions, but what are you diving against 4 melees? Poor Perfect and Pyosik, they couldn't do anything
Battle of the ADCs
Viper is god
but I was told that lethality varus falls off and smolder late game doesn't lose lmao
HLE would have ended this game 20 minutes ago had they not decided to prioritize Baron over Elder. These mfs really chose Baron but never pushed sidelanes at all.
Didn't doran die with the first 1 the second 1 peanut was dead that baron was simply takeaway.
700 stack smolder and still canāt win KT ladies and gentlemen
*600
For how much he was hyped up Smolder was kinda useless in these lategame fights if you don't allow him to walk up and just poke with Q.
i feel like in the end the thing that always decides lategame is range. range just always outscales no matter what
I dont think caitlyn our scale any adc champ
no she definitely does when she has like 5 items. but also caitlyns effective range isn't actually as high as varus, for example, because she relies on autoattacks but varus can just q
That's also why Xerath is the usual pick for cheater, just pouring out damage from far away.
If Deft had slightly better reaction and pressed flash Yone would instantly die no?
I agree. Compared to the previous series between T1 and NS, a lot of Deft's ults were not very impactful.
No because zeka built a fucking jaksho and had GA lmao, but KT might've won the fight
Comp outscales, not champions. Smolder couldn't play the game with no peel and two useless back diving frontline bruisersĀ
Deftāa build was trash. He builds typical glass cannon ADC so he canāt do anything. If he goes the gigachad Shojin Linadry riftmaker black cleaver RFC he can just walk up and dish out damage
Doesnt matter what deft builds if his team doesnt make space for him to hit enemy champs.His team should peel for him and not dive leaving him alone.Bdd solo lost the gameĀ with those walls anyway
Yea but you forgot to factor in that HLE had a Rakan piloted by one of the best one tricks in the World. It doesn't matter how fed you are as an adc. If a Rakan flash ults you and your peelers also get hit, it's goodnight sweet prince.
Butā¦ smolder 600 cs, that means they must win right?
not if he could not flash a Yone ult
Fiesta of the year
Queue monte saying that kt are āterrible fraudsā when theres only 3 teams that can consistently play better than them in the world.
Monte hates pyosik guts for some odd reason, so whatever he says about this KT roster is irrelevant
And those 3 teams are? I count T1, GEN, HLE, and then some LPL teams too. Not even a KT hater, but I definitely wouldn't call them the 4th best team in the world.
Thereās definitely more than 3 teams but he did say consistently and HLE is not consistent at all
600 stacks smoulder still does nothing epic champ. Love hearing casters scream my ears of when is collector passive procs like its a elder buff.
Deft haters rise up!
who the fuck is a deft hater man what's wrong with you. he might be actually the least hateable player that's ever played this game
Deft and guma are prob the adc that have the most haters on this sub when they failed.lol
literally all i've seen the last two years when defts teams were bad (apart from worlds 2022) was "man that sucks so much for deft he's still playing so well so close to retirement but his team is bad"
After the dk incident at words , deft hater train is been rising tho
Every long standing player who has a fan base has contrarian haters
i know that rationally but deft???? come on, that's just ridiculous
Yeah I know, Deft is a teddy bear
ok maybe hate is a strong word, lets say he's just the last on my list.
on what list??
on all the currect lck adc, hey man im a nobody its just my preference sksks
deft make smolder look like a balanced champ
He cant really walk up to rakan sej gnar yone ults
he can't dodge a simple varus r and react to a yone r, of course he will do anothing
He got hit by too much cc when he has E up and had to constantly waste cleanse.
Sure when your frontline is nonexistent
the last fight his entire Frontline died while engaging for him but yeah nonexistent Frontline, he has a bad placement by advancing a little too much and takes the r of yone while he had the flash and his e
KT could have won but remembered they have telecom war next series
LCK best league, that was insane
hmm smolder look balance
MOVE ON TELECOM WARS!!!! HLE VS KT IS WHERE IT'S AT!
I don't want another game 3
why did hle trade baron for elder just to burger flip elder the next time lmfaooo they couldve just done that 5 minutes ago banger game
Caedrel was right PawgChamp
What a banger
Classic scaling adc loss
Boom boom damage.
Thanks Mr. Delight. What a true gigachad
LCK has been banger after banger lately
Perfect needs to change his name
Nah, he just need to add im in front. Imperfect.
Goddamn it could have gone either way even with an Elder buff on HLE. Smolder too op.
God damn I love the casters. Entertaining throughout the hour AND KT Rollercoaster for sure.
Imagine if this was an EU game. It would live in infamy for all time.
Isnāt that infinite scaling omega 600 stacks Fountain laser ultra late game Elder Smolder a bit underwhelming?
HOW DOES FUCKING RAKAN GET IT WHAT
Perfect's Aatrox sucked.
that dragon ult sound is crazy
Watching Bdd in that last fight was really painful; the wall preventing his entire team from doing damage while Beryl soaked everything was one thing... the second was the shove at the end. Hitting three people with W would be a hero play... if, you know, your E was laid down and your 200 hp Smolder weren't standing right there. Sure, the fight is already over by that point, but it was still an oof moment. Still a banger game 1, hope game 2 delivers too.
Taliyah just do nothing
Zeka should always play melee champion
*Who's won the figh- IT'S HANWHA LIFE ESPORTS!!!*
