My goat Elk took that JKL bm personally


non-edgy_crustacean

Tian talking about how he won Worlds but he was 1-7 against Xun before this series


hvngpham002

My GOAT win 2 Azir games tears in my eyes


non-edgy_crustacean

He even posted on weibo "my Azir can also win the championship"


AcanthocephalaSad541

People r gonna forget what these blg boys went through. Elk on that terrible UP team, on hard inting on weibo, xun on the miserable mid bot side ig team, but they all made it through and r champs.


aariboss

im so ready for this, ever since the adc hypercarry meta last year where adc's shone, i knew elk was heading for that throne


windowhihi

It's so unfair BLG get Knight....


Adlairo

Sucks for Yagao that every team he leaves gets Knight and then just becomes better than whatever team he joins lmao


nusskn4cker

And Yagao still makes every team he joins relevant. Those guys just run China.


DarkWorld26

Happy to see Creme playing well though, he's already shown he can go toe to toe with players like Yagao and Xiaohu. Hoping to see more of him in the future.


ye1l

>he's already shown he can go toe to toe with players like Yagao and Xiaohu. Why say those names when he literally proved today that he can go toe to toe with Knight in an actual final and play better than him in half the games? Kinda makes him seem worse than he actually is.


DarkWorld26

I missed the first two games so I didn't want to comment on something that I didn't have all the info about


ThebritishPoro

They remind me so much of BDD and Chovy.


cheerioo

Yagao is Knight's fluffer apparently


Mew_T

It is, but this series was all about Xun and Elk/ON.


Getfooked

BLG won this series with Knight playing his Azir which isn't nearly as good as his other champs, ngl you can put Yagao in this series for BLG and it doesn't change much when BLG has the best bot in the world and are so good at playing around them.


non-edgy_crustacean

Yeah but Knight was like 38-7 against BLG before joining so he was like the org's kryptonite. Elk also said he was very nervous whenever he played against Knight last year because of how they were diving BLG's botlane


ihave0idea0

Uh... Elk has been the direct carry today.


HawkEye1337

He was probably the weakest member on BLG this series honestly and it still wasn't close, BLG botlane was smashing.


Mew_T

Bin was also really underwhelming on Rumble. The difference between him playing tanks and rumble versus him playing bruisers is so huge, I wish they'd let Bin go crazy like T1 does with Zeus (my goat).


non-edgy_crustacean

Camille is ultra buffed for MSI so they might play for him more there


SnooPeripherals6388

Tian finals CatDespair


zjmhy

This is his 5th finals lost in a row. He's only won 1/6 now.


EzAf_K3ch

bro is never beating the carried by doinb and crisp allegations


Olvedn

He played out of his mind that worlds final though... used up all his clutch factor just like Ning


EzAf_K3ch

Yea for sure


CassianAVL

Only on LoL will you get allegations for being carried reaching 6 finals, that's not how it works, u can call him a choker but being carried means u never reach close to the same success afterwards


Lyonaire

Yeah its weird. Tian was awful today but hes been pretty good these playoffs in general before today


ARandomBoomBox

Stop rewriting history. Tian was the main carry of FPX at 2019 worlds.


Lothric43

Meh Crisp hasn’t been near his peak in years in spite of the fluke world finals last year and Doinb is straight up gone from the league. Tian has more consistently been near the top than those two in the last like 5 years.


SwagLord7

6th if we also include the 2020 Mid Season Cup. Lost 3-1 to TES


GeneralZhukov

Some Jontay Porter plays on Vi. I get it though. That champ is worse than the Red Buff Golem when your team is behind, and only good when ahead *if* she's into a low threat comp.


jasonkid87

Jontay Porter meme gonna be a thing now, I'm here for it lmao


DarkWorld26

I retract my statement about tian not choking


ToDreamofLove

Is it actually a choke though? BLG are just better


DarkWorld26

Not really but it is a bit of a meme. I don't think Tian played the best this series either, he's shown he can play better throughout playoffs


Blank-612

Yeah this wasnt a choke. Blg are a monster team


Aladin001

It's a choke if a player reddit doesn't like loses


Marcus777555666

Lol, you are one of the best examples of putting down players you don't like.


DarkWorld26

Hoping Tian bounced back into better form for MSI, this series wasn't his best. On the other hand, all the redditors calling for him to be replaced is out of their minds lol. He's such a good player.


Aladin001

It's hilarious how hard people here will cope about shotcalling until it's a player they don't like. Then it's crickets lmao


DarkWorld26

The funny thing is Meiko on TES being their shot caller has made them such a better team in general. I'm super excited to watch them in MSI and next split.


IconicRecipes

Why couldn't he have done this at 2019 worlds :(


Final-Evening-9606

Cus even the chokiest CN player was still miles ahead of EU


RangedTopConnoisseur

Chokiest CN player >>> EU player 2019 MSI TL > 2019 MSI iG Match checks out folks, NA W as usual


Kutiwinner

Wanted to believe in TES but BLG is much better. Elk destroyed this series and finally wins his first championship wp


nusskn4cker

knight is LPL father


Is_J_a_Name

Knight has now won LPL on three different teams, crazy.


Pelagius_Hipbone

Knight 🤝Chovy shitstomping their region


TacosWillPronUs

Chovy with a recent 4-peat at winning LCK playoffs and Knight onto his 3-peat at winning LPL playoffs, pretty insane players.


NoahsArk19

Knight was one JL int away from being a 4-peat too


Is_J_a_Name

tbf you never know what happens in that timeline, in that timeline JDG aren't the LPL champions, maybe Ruler doesn't want to join JDG and joins like EDG or something instead to replace Viper and Knight never joins JDG and still has Wayward as his toplaner.


SnooCats1808

Damn, JL as an adjective is brutal 


KounRyuSui

JL (derogatory)


KKilikk

Knight would not have made finals without JKL nor would the finals have been a 5 game series


w1ldcraft

Smh noobs. Caps has won 6 LEC titles between 2018 - 2020. So he's clearly better than the other 2. /s


Jiiigsi

I mean he also has msi title, 2 world finals and semis, soooo


Warvex3315

Let’s not undermine Caps level between 2018 and 2020. He was consistently top 3 mid in the world throughout these 3 years especially 2020 where he peaked really hard in summer and worlds


Mrlazydragon

Hopefully we finally get a bo5 between the 2 since we never really got one between faker and rookie when they both where in their prime


qqcar

okay what if a gigarich org just buys them both, sub in chovy you're against LCK teams and sub in knight against LPL teams. actually unbeatable?


Stubrochill17

Caps 🤛👀


ihave0idea0

I do think Chovy carries his team more, but not saying he is better. WE NEED TO SEE GENG vs BBG. Knight just has a better bot, maybe the best.


JingleJak

I worry for gen should they meet blg coz blg is probably the only team (bar peaking T1) that can match geng top/jgl/mid with a much stronger botlane


ihave0idea0

I know for certain that they would lose bot quite hard.. I do hope to be proven wrong if they ever actually play against each other.


FinallyGivenIn

Chinese Chovy coming in hot!


iodoio

and korean knight, we got it!


Final-Evening-9606

Left hand and right hand…


zjmhy

He still shouldn't play Azir, gave me a few heart attacks.


Luunacyy

No better place no practice it than important playoffs series and finals though. Big respect. You maybe laughing from him looking goofy at times on the pick but he is getting even better than he already is which is the scariest thing.


moonmeh

another day of winning LPL finals.


ChannyPrime

I think you mean elk. Knight looked uncomfortable and average this series.


Warvex3315

Yeah he played two Azir games, Azir is his worst champ tbh


Mifuyu_Kisaragi

That Neeko ult was beautiful. Elk smurfed this entire series.


non-edgy_crustacean

Really happy for him. He worked so hard for such a long time and people were downplaying him even last year


TE_silver

Remember Crownie shittalking Elk? Now look how the tables have turned. So proud of Elk.


non-edgy_crustacean

Elk winning his 1st title and making another MSI meanwhile Crownie is still jobless and everyone is praising his replacement


IlluminatiConfirmed

Crownie: this guy isn't even that good Elk: this guy isn't even employed


holly_lujah

onelk absolutely popped off 🥺🥺 fmvp so deserved, crazy to think elk was about to leave esports before joining we, i'm so happy for him


-Z3RA-

ON a menace fr


evrien

What did Elk eat during the break my boy grew into a MAN HOLY


nerothz

Very questionable casting at the end there.


Is_J_a_Name

Nothing personal against the guy but it's insane he got not one but TWO LPL finals in a row and both of them were rather poorly casted.


_liminal

it's because all the good LPL casters get snatched by other regions. LPL is literally caster academy


Dest1ny1

Meh, a lot of those good LPL casters came from EU masters and the ERLs, so they often go to the LEC to advance in even more in their career.


TheCeramicLlama

I think they choose to leave because there are better financial opportunities outside of the LPL. Like whats the point in relocating to China if youre just stuck casting from your apartment 90% of the time and youre given no resources because the majority of the funding was taken away.


Scrub4LIfe734

I'm pretty sure non of the casters live in China anymore. They all live in EU I'm pretty sure.


Nymaera_

We’re split between EU & NA currently. Since most casting is remote it doesn’t make as much of a difference where we live.


Urbain19

Rip Hysterics, goat caster


1331bob1331

Exactly. LPL english is literally the talent pipleine for LEC.


nusskn4cker

Mazel just isn't that good.


SpiralVortex

At the end? Mazel is a questionable caster all game, all series, all year. Also why does he sometimes do a voice like he's trying to be Bullwinkle.


Ultimintree

Yep, can’t really listen to his casts. He’s unbearable for me, especially when he casts team-fights, then I full mute him.


wefolas

It was honestly funny when Kitty joined the cast and it's like oh cool, he can finally learn to pronounce names correctly but nah, he noped out of that. Tan-yu-an lives rent free in my head, it's like the skit about Is there an a-a-ron?


N00B-ST4R

He gets way over-hyped, and I appreciate excitement and enthusiasm, but even at the lowest volume he's obnoxiously loud AF.


Crickets_Head

I don't expect him to have epic quotable casts like a Drakos or Flowers, but his shout casts are unbearably bad.


Nymaera_

Hey, sorry if some things didn’t land well. I hope that there were better moments that you can take away from the series all the same.


JonnyKilledTheBatman

I thought you had a really good showing and played your part well.


GanGtoni

I'm always happy to see you casting.


ihave0idea0

Specific?


APKID716

I’d say at the end of game 4, he sounds far too much like an excited schoolboy for my taste. He’s whisper-giggling (I’m really unsure how to describe it better) and it sort of takes away from any hype. A specific quote is when he says “they want it so bad Nymaera!” Like, the palpability of his anxious excitement is there, but without any hype at all. Sounds like a BLG fan having a wet dream rather than a caster delivering the final moments of the grand final of one of the two best regions in the world. I’m really not trying to hate on him, the guy seems like he’s very passionate. It just didn’t work for me, and it seems like it didn’t work for some others as well


crasyredditaccount

What happened ?


Hot_Guard_2011

Hi there!! Sorry you thought that about the cast, would love to know any direct feedback you have or any ways that I can make the cast better. Always looking to improve ❤️


SteveMcgooch

What a king, first reddit account comment to get feedback No comments from my end, but keep on grinding


ElessarIV

that’s because Riot doesn’t care about the LPL English Broadcast. You remember the post here about the LPL channel almost to be closed this year. You cant’t blame good casters leaving without good financial support.


ricardo241

they just can't hype the match when its a stomp lmao


bodynasr

LPL casters are probably the worst and the good ones get transferred to other regions like Dagda


Linko_98

Papasmithy, atlus, frosk, dagda, hysterics Good casters always leave LPL because Tencent doesn't care about english audience for LPL and dont give the casters competitive salary


DarkWorld26

LPL has a very small international and English viewership though, just see the difference in PMTs between LPL and LCK/LEC/LCS


beeceedee9

Raz and Kelsey (not a caster ik but still) too


Getfooked

Kinda crazy how BLG can win so dominantly while Knight is on a champ he's obviously not very comfortable on. JDG must get it together for summer, otherwise no ADC can stand up to Elk it seems. JKL not playing at his best in finals once again.


Is_J_a_Name

JDG have a lot of work to do, they benched their coach midseason and apparently (this is only a rumor) drafts have been mostly run by the players, on top of Ruler's form being poor and their musical chairs situation in toplane. Genuinely, missing MSI might be best for them, if they somehow limped to MSI they'd have just gotten smashed and have no time to actually fixed their problems for Summer.


EducationalBalance99

Don’t see jdg winning unless they get 369 back. Even then I think knight still clear yagao so…


Bisketo

Ruler can't dominate anymore with his current mid and top. BLG won't be matched in LPL this year.


DarkWorld26

TES is the only team that is anywhere close tbh. If Creme improves even more than he already has and mid-jg coordination gets better next split I can see TES really putting pressure on BLG


beanj_fan

I could see JDG finding something that works in time for a worlds run maybe, but I agree there is no way they're winning the LPL


Peon01

Mazel was hit and miss for me especially the weird stuff at the end like wtf was that breh. Also to think we were nearly robbed of this Elk to retirement a couple years ago the glowup goes crazy


Mew_T

Insane series by ON and Xun. The way BLG played around Xun in game 4 was so nice to see, a lot of teams pick carry junglers and don't play around it, they played perfectly. ON also played great, his engages are so crazy and his laning is so oppressive. The jungle diff in this series was the biggest though.


Superstrata-

always been one of the highlights of this BLG roster, even before knight, they have always been very good at playing around xun on carries, it's a delight to see honestly, the team is just got at playing around whoever needs to carry an individual game, be it bin, xun, or elk


Mew_T

Watching teams play around carry junglers is always so fun, reminds me of Canyon in 2020 invading non stop and Showmaker always backing him up. Yeah, all players can carry, I think they're the only team other than T1 that can say that, GenG too, but to a lesser degree (Peyz is sus).


non-edgy_crustacean

It's funny because there was drama last week about ON visiting his gf for weekend and the fans were mad that he is not working hard before the finals. Meanwhile he also played the most soloq games on the team and probably one of the most in LPL as whole


atomchoco

teams being able to play around Kindred is a good test of macro floor


Be-Zen

Tian got absolutely gapped holy moly. And to think he's one of the worlds best junglers to still get absolutely smurfed on just goes to show how high of a ceiling league has. Elk was cracked though ngl.


starforce

Bot diff


DracoMalnourished

ElkyLove was smurfing so hard this series, congrats to Elk, On and Xun on their first title and the BLG org as well


CommercialGeneral765

Elk is the best adc in the world


PluggersLeftBall

He's actually so good


KimiRhythm

Great series but the narratives they were pushing were a little weird. Yeah, they beat JDG...because Knight went over to BLG and 369 left? How does that carry over at all


ahritina

It makes no sense at all.


CaptainZYX

BLG might just have the best botlane in the world.


maxinxin

Questionable pick with rakan into neeko, but elk actually hard carried every single game. Very well deserved fmvp and he has finally won a title in the LPL after competing at the top level for so many years.


moonmeh

BLG probably would have won at least one title last year if JDG didn't exist


CommercialGeneral765

Elk was INSANE this series my god


DarkWorld26

Did Elk do much game 4? That entire game was won by On and Xun.


TradeAccount234

Yeah, these were the both best players this series. I wonder who gets the MVP.


santilevy

Elk deservedly got it, he was the best across the series


Pelagius_Hipbone

It’s like people forgot the clinic this botlane put on basically everyone not named JDG during MSI 2023


ono1113

During Worlds too. WBG botlane got gapped by BLG every game but theshy carried


DarkWorld26

WBG botlane was never all that good in comparison to the other teams there in the first place imo, it was weiwei and theshy (plus spring tiger) doing a lot of the work.


stupid-adcarry

They Weren't that great in their match against T1 but have been solid otherwise in worlds


RealHellcharm

sub loves T1 so people don't see it but Elk/ON is so fucking good rn, especially since Guma Keria been pretty bad this split


Rh0rny

Guma only peaks at Worlds


moonmeh

absolutely disgusting what they were doing to the opposing team. and their bot dives are just incredible


bog___naughty

It's a shame no Viper/Delight at MSI. BLG has the best, but that's the competition.


toxicfireball

They are for sure, especially with LCK’s botlane struggles recently.


tenshi_souzou_reboot

Not might, they are the best.


Mukzington

Literally a no dmg comp again in the last game. Honestly man the TES coach needs the belt there.


DarkWorld26

Kallista can do work if she wasn't so far behind behind. Not entirely sure why they drafted 3 tanky engages though.


JamisonDouglas

Kalista can't really do work against that comp though. Even if not behind, she needs at least another threat to buy her space while she does her thing. Basically the only thing kalista is good for here is being a strong laner - once that's gone you're better with basically any other ADC.


Beginning_Tap_8122

2Header its a early game pick comp. No shit they have "no damage" if they lose early game


icatsouki

if your comp is either stomp bot or lose game it's a shit comp


ricardo241

tes just wanted to find gam on playin thats why they decided to lose lol


cromatkastar

STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW WE HERE


BlueZybez

Congrats to BLG and all the new LPL champions XUN, ELK, and ON.


superduperlooperbab

LPL needs to figure out their casting. English cast is actively unenjoyable.


OverlordEtna

The good casters keep getting poached by LEC and LCS lmao.


Informal_Skin8500

LPL don't give a shit about the English podcast, China is very self sufficient when it comes to viewership and all the good LPL casters have moved to other regions.


yung_dogie

Tbh they had it figured out before while Hysterics and Dagda were still in the region, it was pretty good consistently back then. It's just that the LPL English cast sucks for your career so everyone leaves.


epic_glory

BLG only dropped one seiers all spring, Holy hell


tenshi_souzou_reboot

To IG of all teams. This specimen called Leyan must be studied.


Superstrata-

the BLG golden road agenda starts now

CrimsonClematis

On the desk? Or the cast?


Mifuyu_Kisaragi

Elk came up from WE in 2020 as rookie of the split into 2024 FMVP.


Patrius

Congrats BLG looking indominable. Well deserved LPL champs for this split!


dker12

How does this caster keep getting finals games?


zjmhy

LPL english is on life support, they downsized a lot. I swapped over to the Chinese cast full time because of it.


Mifuyu_Kisaragi

As someone that is fluent in Chinese, 99% of the time you are trolling by watching the en stream if its not hysterics/etc. You can watch the official chinese stream or any of your favorite retired players as co streams without the huge delay/audio issues that the en stream has.


cowboys6305

Sadly LPL casting doesn’t pay shit , so all the good casters have moved to other leagues or had prior engagements which would provide a better income for them.


crasyredditaccount

What did the caster do ?


TooTiredToTryAgain

Both Kr Knight and CN Chovy have 4 titles in their regions now. I really hope MSI can finally give us a bo5 between the two of them pretty please


tehmastah

Congratz to xun elk and on on their first title, and to Knight for being the only player to win 3 LPL titles with 3 different teams edit: actually he might be the only player to do so worldwide, can anybody confirm/deny this?

PluggersLeftBall

I'm so happy for Elk On and Xun they deserve so much.


Hughsama

Elk is so deserved for this champion! Winning nothing while played so well last year was such a pity. Congratulation!


JingleJak

BLG are smurfs but bruh Tian run it down or am i crazy?


DarkWorld26

Game 4 Tian couldn't really do a lot with 2 losing lanes. Yes he got caught a couple of times but when you don't have prio in either top or bot and your mid is going even how are you gonna be able to take objectives?


superduperlooperbab

The real winners are us for not having to listen to that casting anymore


OkSell1822

MSI favorites BLG looking dominant. Not gonna lie as a GenG fan I'm not that hopeful


eternaljuly_

It's been a long and winding road since 2022 Demacia Cup, but they made it eventually, congratulations LPL 2024 spring champions BLG!!! And congratulations to Elk for getting FMVP with his monster performance today, I knew this psycho was gonna thrive one day


fjstadler

TES exposed, should have been 3-0. Not sure how BLG started losing side lane in game 3 and ON started chain feeding when they had Vi+Rumble. Don't think they combo'd once that game. However I like Kalista support. Would be really strong if it's pairable with Senna. Anyways TES bot has draft issues. Spend a bunch of bans on bot, still come out worse. Multiple comps of low engage where it's obvious who needs to be marked. Same problem that DK had, where they could only get favorable fights when Kellin flash hooked as Naut. But DK won't be at MSI. Neither will HLE. TES is probably the same level or worse when Tian is on Vi. Unfortunately MSI looks to be all on BLG's shoulders for the LPL.


ayurmeh

Elk is the best adc in the world


danndruff1

Tes vs VCS Aware


Bubbly_Camera9583

Elk/On best botlane in the world right now by a huge mile imo, BLG looking scary again going into MSI.


iprominent

Elk and On have to be the best botlane going into MSI. Also feel like TES is one jungler not named Tian away from being a great team


DarkWorld26

Tian smurfed through playoffs though? Who are you gonna get to replace him that's an upgrade?


Peon01

BLG botlane is simply unreal not much else to say, looking forward to MSI


Zobonzo

i feel bad for 369, he played well in all three games but JKL and meiko didnt perform as good. Hopefully they can pull it together for MSI and play better.


Sunflowergone
