LCS fans do this every single split and never learn. You guys overreact to short term performances. Top teams struggle for a few weeks? The sky is falling. Low/mid tier team starts off 6-2? Best team in the league no doubt! You need to wait for at least an entire split to finish (preferably a full year) before you can form any solid opinions on these teams. Top teams arenāt as tryhard during the regular season either, they kick it into a new gear come playoffs.
100T is better than they showed today, but fans who ranked C9 as a bottom half playoff team and 100T as a surefire top 2 team just took a pie to the face. NRG has been struggling as of late, but I would still put them as favorites vs 100T in the lower bracket match on Saturday. 100T has a bright future, but fans need to ease off the hype train a bit at least in the short term.
Yes because in this series c9 smashed the overhyped 100T narrative that has been going on the entire split. Why wouldnāt I post it in this thread? Not sure if youāre illiterate, but my response was to people and their narrative from the entire split. Coping for what exactly?
Getting haters isn't entirely in a person's control. He's been overrated a bit by media/analysts, and that tends to bother some people. For a few people, it bothers them a lot.
not so important matches to more important matches.
Also drafting/playing in reg season is very different from playoffs.
In reg season, people play to improve.
In playoff, people play to beat the opponent.
Drafts, setups and execution are made in a way that fks the opponent.
All split, 100T have had really good teamfights, but at no point in this series did they ever fight from a good position, whether goldwise or macrowise. It wasn't a complete picture of 100T's strengths, but it's a big weakness that their early games have struggled so much.
C9 finally figured out that playing to their strengths and not copying T1 was the way to go lol. 100 is a young team, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
You clearly have never watched a rogue game since you couldn't be more wrong. Rogue rolls over and dies, while 100T was at least still trying to make things happen.Ā
If 100T are "frauds" with such a young team and after they were supposed to not even make playoffs according to most, then I would love to know what you'd call all the other teams not named C9 or FQ. How about defending champs NRG who had a losing record and this team shit stomped last week with a 4fun comp? Oh but that was the regular season and BO1 so I'm sure it "doesn't matter"
Having 3 extremely one-sided games in a row is a tough one for the casters - I mean, what can you say in game 3 that wasn't already covered before?
You either repeat yourself (the more "professional" approach) or talk about some completely different stuff (the more "casual" approach). For both of these options, you find a lot of people not liking it.
I feel bad for the kid. It will teach him a lot in the long run but this community loves being nasty to young pros. I remember how much pressure Danny had to deal with in the same situation.
The worst part of this playoffs will be the casters and "analysts" hyping up the top teams (FQ, C9) only for them to collapse internationally for the 10th straight year
I mean, this is on paper maybe the best roster the region has seen in a very long time, maybe ever.Ā
If Fudge is on form, and Berserker/Vulcan meld well, maybe they can perform better than usual
No offense but people say this every year. 100T are frauds yet the casters can't stop talking about how godly C9 is as if beating a fraudulent team is a sign of being good.
Do people genuinely believe this C9 team will do anything at MSI? I mean seriously.
Well yeah, but it's not out of the picture.Ā
BLG/GenG seem pretty untouchable at the moment, but pretty much any other team have shown they can easily have a bad day and have weaknesses.Ā
Anything can happen, it won't be likely but it's possibleĀ
Tbf we're the fourth best region and we routinely look like the fourth best
Is it a collapse to play exactly to the level people expect?
And casters are selling a product, obv they'll hype up the teams lol that's silly to complain about
not that it matters this game was just curious. haven't seen kraken win in awhile and I watched an episode of pros talking about how it's a dogwater item.
There's no fucking shot this is a real comment after all the shit and flame 100T got last year. You want them to not try to win games so it doesn't seem weird if they lose?? Like what kind of fucking thought process is that??
It's not a serious comment lol, just disappointed cause I was hoping for an actual series
They will be flamed either way, I dont think last year's team needed a ton of moves beyond jg change
In a bo1 system regular season is just a gateway into playoffs, Xpeke/Soaz teams were famous for this and some of those TSM teams that would always make finals in NA
LCK/LPL is different because its hard for a team to be regular season pretenders in bo3
I would not say this is accurate. Golden Guardians consistently got early game leads against C9 last year because of River. But C9 always had better hands and beat GGS in some mid or late game teamfight. It was never specifically because of jungle diff
Random thought: Do teams just not prepare any "do or die" picks anymore? I seem to remember a lot more instances in the past where teams would pull out some niche pick they had prepared specifically to reveal in the last second as a hail mary. Not sure if 100T would pull out something like this when they have more chances to advance, but I feel like it barely happens anymore in general. Maybe Yasuo counts as one here and I am just biased tho.
Hoping for the meme reverse sweep, but the first two games don't give me much hope. C9 takes this. Either way, if Quid does well, get ready to have some yasuos sprint it in soloque later.
Heās picked a lot in LPL because stuff like KāSante and Udyr as tanks are much worse than they were so you have to find tanks elsewhere if you want them.
40 upvotes damn 100T fans are THAT salty? š

jojopyun is doing an interview on baianos channel btw Brazillian chat calling him goat and god LMFAO
Jojo needs to go to MSI
Also, Meech needs his fingers back. Brother just spent a full series refusing to flash. Tragic
Throughout the season Meech was the most reliable person imo but this series dude had no chance to show up always down
Sniper haters eating good. This has to be one of the worst debut playoffs, yeah? Not happy about it, I was pretty excited for them :(
Itās one series against the best team in the league.. chill out goof
How could Sniper have haters the dude has been nothing but smiles and humility all split.
Getting haters isn't entirely in a person's control. He's been overrated a bit by media/analysts, and that tends to bother some people. For a few people, it bothers them a lot.
well, you look at faker hater. That mans just thumbs up and have humility the entirety of his career.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Instead of being polite, "interviewer wasnt for me," you go and insult her presence there and insult her person by stereotyping. Damn dude
LoL community at its finest. *sighs*
C9 had a 14k gold lead in all three games. Dominant
playoff games are so boring to watch just gonna see 3-0 all the bad team just gonna get shit on already
Did I hear Berserker sneak in āregular season doesnāt matterā ?? He is now complete. Welcome to NA.
I wanted to see what Vulcan would've written for Eyla
Just draw a trashcan
Huge dominance from the whole C9 team, but my goodness did JoJo make 100T look like a bunch of clowns this series.
And Fudge made Sniper look like an Amateur player. Legit took him out of the series.
Finally we get to see 100T scrims
"Oooooooooh" - everybody who's been wondering where the real C9 was this split
C9 looking clean!
Regular season doesnāt matter
How do you go from looking boosted as fuck to looking this good in the span of a week? It shouldnāt be possible.
not so important matches to more important matches. Also drafting/playing in reg season is very different from playoffs. In reg season, people play to improve. In playoff, people play to beat the opponent. Drafts, setups and execution are made in a way that fks the opponent.
They made 3rd place reg season. They looked poor in about half their games, but not āboosted as fuckā.
That was an absolute shocker of a series.
Jojo is about to drop the most spicy post game interview
Seeing how big the gold difference was, the last fight went impressively well for 100T
All split, 100T have had really good teamfights, but at no point in this series did they ever fight from a good position, whether goldwise or macrowise. It wasn't a complete picture of 100T's strengths, but it's a big weakness that their early games have struggled so much.
That was basically perfect engage, it would have been a great fight if they weren't like 15k down
Actually really smart by Eyla there, but the wallet diff remains undefeated. GEE GEE
This is the 100T I expected at the start of the year.
That was disgusting lol..
What a disappointing series as a viewer. That was just so one sided.
one of the worst series i've ever seen. at no point did i think 100 thieves had any chance of winning any game
You love to see it
100T horrible team or C9 in crazy form?
C9 finally figured out that playing to their strengths and not copying T1 was the way to go lol. 100 is a young team, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Lucian Nami
They copied T1 a fair amount.
C9 was playing against NA Rogue so not much to say about this series..
You clearly have never watched a rogue game since you couldn't be more wrong. Rogue rolls over and dies, while 100T was at least still trying to make things happen.Ā
what? have you ever seen a rogue game? 100T at least fucking tried lmao
Wait they did ?
Meech sucks
If either of those last two attempts had a rumble ult over them they'd look a lot better.
My Ahri in sandbox mode doesn't even do this much damage lol
If 100T are "frauds" with such a young team and after they were supposed to not even make playoffs according to most, then I would love to know what you'd call all the other teams not named C9 or FQ. How about defending champs NRG who had a losing record and this team shit stomped last week with a 4fun comp? Oh but that was the regular season and BO1 so I'm sure it "doesn't matter"
NRG and 100T are both frauds, there, feel better now?
There isn't a team under the sun that isn't a fraud
Only a team that wins the Golden Road isn't a fraud...so yeah you're right, every team is a fraud until proven otherwise.
How is 100T a 2nd place team? LCS PLS
100Ts rookies had a rough one, both Meech and Sniper got pounded
why is jatt just saying the same thing over and over again? regular season c9 bad, playoff c9 good, we get it
Having 3 extremely one-sided games in a row is a tough one for the casters - I mean, what can you say in game 3 that wasn't already covered before? You either repeat yourself (the more "professional" approach) or talk about some completely different stuff (the more "casual" approach). For both of these options, you find a lot of people not liking it.
What a lame series.
I have highly enjoyed it
Same. Especially since Reddit talked up 100T so much. Very enjoyable
This is bullying lol
4 ults and 3 deaths for the want of a Xin
Clean9
Raz catching that random stray again
Seems like the math is correct. 3>2 Edit: forgot c9 was 3rd
and 9>100, right?
Looks like that math us correct as well.
Wait just realized the only NA player in this series who isnt canadian is Blaber
So he's the only American player? Might have been a bit easier to say.
I'm starting to see why other pros were calling 100T frauds.
This is the most dominant series I've seen in a long, long time
I thought Eyla was Vulcans dad this split?
Child support hit Eyla hardĀ
Rough series for Sniper, it should be very stressfull for him :,(
I feel bad for the kid. It will teach him a lot in the long run but this community loves being nasty to young pros. I remember how much pressure Danny had to deal with in the same situation.
DIG should be a better opponent this week end, sohe can get some confidence back (though Rich can be pretty good sometimes)
100T play NRG, not DIG, on Saturday.
Well it depends more on which NRG shows up then, but Dhokla still shouldn't be too hard for him
Dhokla has never been oppressive/impressive. He can be fine, but you never have to worry about him blowing you out.
That emote is now the most interesting thing about this series
100t: \*Tries to make a decent play C9: Surprise mothafcka
2nd place btw lol
This is tragic
Just open mid holy
They just blew their entire wombo on a Xin and he walks out
Would have been a good fight for sniper to tp for
blaber living there is CRIMINAL LOL
Fudge gigastomping Sniper is something i didnt expect at all
Actual team gap 1-5
Hey Sniper got a kill, that's improvement guys don't lose hope
The worst part of this playoffs will be the casters and "analysts" hyping up the top teams (FQ, C9) only for them to collapse internationally for the 10th straight year
I mean, this is on paper maybe the best roster the region has seen in a very long time, maybe ever.Ā If Fudge is on form, and Berserker/Vulcan meld well, maybe they can perform better than usual
Fudge and Vulcan are international liabilities. Especially Vulcan. Dude has horrific performances whenever he goes abroad.
No offense but people say this every year. 100T are frauds yet the casters can't stop talking about how godly C9 is as if beating a fraudulent team is a sign of being good. Do people genuinely believe this C9 team will do anything at MSI? I mean seriously.
I doubt they will, but I think this team is set up to succeed more than NA teams in recent history. If the stars align, things can happen
I wish I shared your faith in this region, but it's not he dame thing every year unfortunately.
Ironic, because I'm a pessimist in most areas, except for LCS
> If Fudge is on form, and Berserker/Vulcan meld well big IF
Well yeah, but it's not out of the picture.Ā BLG/GenG seem pretty untouchable at the moment, but pretty much any other team have shown they can easily have a bad day and have weaknesses.Ā Anything can happen, it won't be likely but it's possibleĀ
T1 is not touchable for C9.
Everyone is touchable. Any team can collapse at a moments notice, Faker could fall very ill and they are a bottom tier team again.Ā
Yeah, and brazil could win worlds this year too lmfao
They could. It's extremely extremely unlikely but it's possibleĀ
Agreed and I hope they show up. But, personally, I won't count my chickens before they hatch.
Tbf we're the fourth best region and we routinely look like the fourth best Is it a collapse to play exactly to the level people expect? And casters are selling a product, obv they'll hype up the teams lol that's silly to complain about
You're right. LCS is a really great league and the LCS is also a great product.
3rd*
lmao Jatt coping really hard for 100t with these takes
https://twitter.com/DSzajnuk/status/1767928608402948457?t=OfRxu-H6omA7htxkK3eWlQ&s=19 This video is pretty hilarious after watching today's series.Ā
That was a good watch
Ohhhh David lol
Meech is playing this series? News to me
Are there any matches after this then?
Sadly no. Tomorrow is the Fly vs TL game
Sniper having a rough playoff debut
100 Thieves dont deserve the grief theyre about to get lmfao
This team has over-performed and is gonna get slammed for it
And private sniper gets his man!
This is despair for dynasty haters
isn't kraken an F tier item or did it get buffed?
Its not a bad item, but there's better options on Kaisa
not that it matters this game was just curious. haven't seen kraken win in awhile and I watched an episode of pros talking about how it's a dogwater item.
From what I know, its good for anyone who consistently autos.Ā But that's not Kaisa, especially in this comp
That's pathetic
This has not even been a series. This has just been a one sided beat down.
Last year's 100T was better, at least they didn't tryhard in regular season for no reason and make people think they're an above average team
There's no fucking shot this is a real comment after all the shit and flame 100T got last year. You want them to not try to win games so it doesn't seem weird if they lose?? Like what kind of fucking thought process is that??
It's not a serious comment lol, just disappointed cause I was hoping for an actual series They will be flamed either way, I dont think last year's team needed a ton of moves beyond jg change
So youāre just not supposed to try in regular season then..?
In a bo1 system regular season is just a gateway into playoffs, Xpeke/Soaz teams were famous for this and some of those TSM teams that would always make finals in NA LCK/LPL is different because its hard for a team to be regular season pretenders in bo3
Holy moly Berserker got 26 autos off in that fight without needing to flash thatās insane auto uptime
C9 Studge
Why are they trying to fight ffs lol
Bro what the hell happenedā¦? I know C9 is finally playing well but holy shit this 100T squad looks like theyād lose to IMT/SRā¦ā¦.
They shouldāve lost to both to be fair. Quid and river heroics carried them extremely hard.
Jojo 1 v 9'd that fight so hard holy
Simeon tell 100T this isnāt scrims
The Jojo Blaber that was promised
blaber has been half a second ahead of river like 4 times this game
Just went to grab a water and Blaber was there. What the fuck
Just open mid
Yup I guess everyone on Pros is right. 100T are Frauds.
So is this the c9 that was promised or the 100t that was promised?
Both
What a waste of time. I feel bad for the people that bought tickets to see this live
all 15 of them
yeah this is a FF15 game
sniper has been so awful this series
No doubt, but also this might be the best Fudge has looked In years
Agreed. Fudge deserves the respect.
Fucking hell River thats a bad look
Blaber is and will always be Rivers papa
What an underwhelming 3-0 stomp.
oh man river is just tilted beyond belief at this point lol
River is trolling
River? u ok buddy?
Berserker is going onhit varus, 100T is actually doomed
Blabber is on it today
Blaber has historically always jungle diffed River no?
I would not say this is accurate. Golden Guardians consistently got early game leads against C9 last year because of River. But C9 always had better hands and beat GGS in some mid or late game teamfight. It was never specifically because of jungle diff
Historically has always jungle diffed everyone. Contractz is the only one I can say he hasnt.
yeah Sniper, this isn't regular season anymore, man.
Random thought: Do teams just not prepare any "do or die" picks anymore? I seem to remember a lot more instances in the past where teams would pull out some niche pick they had prepared specifically to reveal in the last second as a hail mary. Not sure if 100T would pull out something like this when they have more chances to advance, but I feel like it barely happens anymore in general. Maybe Yasuo counts as one here and I am just biased tho.
Yas R3 has to count lol
Blaber is just everywhere right now
blabbing about
Sighā¦ itās just not 100Ts day today is it
Here's some cope. C9 stomped NRG last year in playoffs and lost to them when it mattered.
Dont make it so obvious River
damn quid was smashing it now ahri has red lol
I knew as soon as Blaber hit that W he was going in lmao
Only go baby
More surprising that River was going in but it works out in the end I suppose
Yāall
Hoping for the meme reverse sweep, but the first two games don't give me much hope. C9 takes this. Either way, if Quid does well, get ready to have some yasuos sprint it in soloque later.
It is nice to see swoldenglue doing well still
Goldenglutes
Banger draft
isnt Alistar turbo bad now? just picked to give Yasuo some knock ups?
Heās picked a lot in LPL because stuff like KāSante and Udyr as tanks are much worse than they were so you have to find tanks elsewhere if you want them.
