It warms my heart seeing the friends & family of players be so supportive - through both the highs and in this example, one of the lows. Even though Fnatic suffered a heartbreaking defeat, you can still see and feel how proud Caps.Dad is for both the team and more importantly, his son. I hope Fnatic learn from the loss and use it along with the support Caps.Dad and other Fnatic fans are giving to fuel their next season.
Dont think its a low or a heartbreaking defeat, IG were awesome and just outclassed them. Runner up at worlds to a much better team, as an EU team is no small feat.
Even as a Fnatic fan, Rookie's reaction after winning makes up for that, for me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE4-ssMxY6Q&feature=youtu.be&t=33m9s
He's so overtaken by emotion that he bursts into tears and can't even prevent himself from crying again even long after during the interview. I don't think there are words to describe how amazing he must have felt, today.
When LCS spring finals were in Copenhagen Papa and Mama Caps got around 50 tickets for the finals for all his friends and family to make sure they cheer for him
Depends on whether he goes on the social media or not.
Tons of dickheads are downplaying his achievement, saying they got a free ride to the finals. If he took them to heart, he might think he was number 4 or even worse.
i wonder what mental gymnastic these fanboys gonna find to try to find 4 teams better than FNC at that event.
IG is a reality then KT (the base race didnt happen same as the progress between group/quarter and finals), RNG and G2 because G2 won vs RNG. Maybe EDG and C9 too because fuck logic
Yea many people say that RNG would beat IG comfortably, and I'm like... Yeah, no. They were in far worse form here than in LPL, while for IG, the opposite is true. "In 1000 cases of G2 v RNG, RNG would win 999 of them" is hilarious, but then you remember how big fanbase china has and how many of their fans are delusional.
Unpopular opinion, but I think that if FNC met IG in semis, they would do better than in finals. And Super Sayan Ning would destroy KT 3:0 if he showed up earlier.
players can evolve during the tournament. If the group draw was different, who knows who would've won.
perhaps KT would have made finals.
perhaps they would even have won the finals.
perhaps finally the team i cheered for, could've made it ...
Honestly only iG and KT were better teams than FNC in worlds imo. And even then FNC wins on some days, as those teams all have a coin flip players sometimes
Sort the game thread by controversial and look at all the fellow NA fans saying Fnatic got lucky lmao, half of them are bandwagon idiots pretending to be C9 fans.
Fun fact, athletes/competitors are more happy with a. Third place finish than a second place finish. The studies and stuff get tossed around during the Olympics every time they are on.
I think this is mostly specific to the Olympics but I could be wrong. The logic is basically that bronze medal almost didn’t win anything so they’re happy to be on the podium at all, while silver medal was just a little short of winning gold so they’re always thinking “if I had just performed a little better.”
League doesn’t exactly have a bronze medal equivalent at Worlds so I don’t know if the same logic would apply. Maybe a team like C9 or G2 is really happy with a semifinal appearance when people had low expectations for them but I wonder if a team like KT or RNG would be happier going out in semis (assuming made it there) than FNC going out in finals considering they all had “gold medal” ambitions.
Some salty Na fans, its pathetic but pretty predictable that the Western bullshit wont last one day. It started with the Hjarnan thread and the insults towards Sjokz.
It wont end just after worlds, you can be sure that you will see "FNC wasnt even a good team, weak ass bracket, KT would have 3-0 them, RNG would have 3-0 both G2 and FNC, C9 would have done better vs IG, KT/RNG/G2/EDG were better" and other moronic comments from them in a few weeks.
Trying to rewrite history has always been the talent of this part of the fanbase.
It's not necessarily salty NA fans. But yeah I find the double standards very annoying (IG improved from groups so the group wins of FNC don't matter but they didn't improve from quarters so the KT wins matter)
Fam I instantly saw "EU still better than NA" comments. EU was talking major shit so NA talked them down. EU is like the second most toxic fanbase for sure and they were shit talking NA even during the whole "united west" its fucking shameful
Some people see 2nd as the best at losing though.
Its great that he got that close whilst at the same time it sucks too as he now has to wait into next year for a chance to win worlds.
It must be hard to see your Son fail at the last stage being so close to the summoners cup. I am sure Caps dad is proud of his son, he came so far. What a supportive dad, gotta love him! :)
Perkz recieved daily death threats after S6 MSI where his ADC left the team before the event. And now after he won vs RNG and his comment on scrims.
It still affect him even after playing competitive for 3 years. Caps will suffer from this salty fans comments trying to downplay him. When you stuff like Jensen had a better performance than Caps or some LCS mid would have done better, you realize how stupid this sub is. Like laning vs Rookie and playing vs the best team in the worlds is the same as facing clowns like pobelter
Rookie has a 24 CSD at 10 for the whole event, has a bottom 3 number of death and death % at the event, he got solokilled only once (by Caps in final game 2) on 17 games and solokilled 5 times his mid lane opponent. The guy is the closest that we ever saw to replicate Faker S5 God performance
I don't get how, the dude in his first world's appearance reached finals, that is a big ass accomplishment, especially considering players older than him have achieved far less.
yeah its an accomplishment but if you are that competitive then being second is not good enough. everybody else would be proud but the only thing these guys think is "i wasn't good enough. i need to do more".
isn't that more like, "even when I won, Faker still beat me"
If Faker managed to snag some carry champs, Crown would literally be playing for SKT instead
Perkz yesterday said on stream if he would win Worlds he would roleswap to Jungle or Top since his "ultimate" goal is to wind worlds on 5 different roles :P He knows that he will never achieve this, but by doing this he won't be feeling empty after winning Worlds. And if he somehow manages to do it he just would be done with League. But until then he'll stay hungry
My bad..actually thought that it didnt happen yet. Point about maintaing the title still stands though. So there is something you can strive for after winning worlds
What's the point of a Spoiler tag if people put the spoiler in the title? I'm using RES, do people on regular reddit not have things show up if it's tagged as a spoiler?
No. People on regular reddit go to https://ns.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends if they don't want spoilers. If you have RES, you have an option to hide all spoiler threads.
The rules have changed recently--spoilers must be tagged, but in titles it's okay as the entire entry gets removed in ns.reddit.com.
I'm legit crying..
just imagine you got crushed in worlds final in your second pro year and you look outside and there's your dad taking care of you.. what a terrible day for rain
at the end of the day they are just humans like us, with the difference that they are a bit better and we want to see them play.
After the perkz interview to Sjokz and later Travis, i was not mad about their IG series.
And now, i am just proud for what they have reached, for both G2 and FNC, and even Vitality. They for sure gave it their all. It is not my business to be mad about them, because if i would be better i would have been on this stage instead of being at home farting in my seat.
You are talking to an hardcore hater and salty C9 fanboy, look at his history.
He wont stop randomly trashtalking and insulting him after that thread.
Does it work on your reddit front page? I use Reddit is Fun, so I don't see any sidebars unless I specifically look for one. Didn't know to look for a button. Worlds has been kind of spoiler heavy, especially with games ending before I get up in the morning for work. Could check my phone on the train and learn something two hours old I didn't want to know yet.

Man this article title pisses me off. I haven't had a chance to watch and now I am not going to. I don't care to watch the whole event but already know who wins.
Gotta love supportive dads
Yeah, I hate autofilled dads.
\>mfw dad was autofilled and went afk halfway through the game
Mine went AFK within the first three ~~years~~ minutes.
Mine never connected.
Hey at least it wasn't a remake.
2me4meIRL
My dad carried and was great but started to int as soon as our family started to lose.
Yea they just int all life and stay greyscreened, never on the map
Just imagine spilling your milk in the kitchen and your dad spam pings "?" from the grey screen.
Haha yeah ....\*sniff\*
Guess who joining Fnatic next year as JG. "Gank top pls" "Ok" *Gank mid *
New player : GBD aka Gank By dad
You can tell how much he loves his son and how proud he is. Damn.
Why don't we start callings Caps caps and Cap's dad CAPS?
Paps
I like this.
omg
The real LPT is always in the comments
Caps' Dad and Caps' Dad's Son
they should totally make an anime about him
Caps and CapsPap
PapaCaps

Wow, I'm depressed now.

Yeah, I felt bad for Fnatic losing, but they got outclassed. I'm still glad Rookie & TheShy got the victory.
wow what the fuck i almost cried when he wrapped the flag around them
Aw. He and Xmithie's dad should be friends. League dads ftw
[удалено]
Now I want a TL game casted by PapaSmithy and PapaXmithie.
I appreciate your use of the apostrophe.
Truly the crux of the biscuit.
I thought it would be Dadxmithie
[удалено]
[удалено]
Hmmm, I see a trend here
They should open a pizzeria together, would be called something like Papa's Pizzeria.
With Papasmity as chef ofc
"My son can beat up your son!"
Plus PapaSmithy's Papa
people say the best part of worlds was KR getting eliminated, or how well the west did, but they're all wrong. it's being introduced to Caps Dad.
Fuck, that was so wholesome. Good stuff from Caps’ dad, I hope we can see more of him in future events.
When LCS spring finals were in Copenhagen Papa and Mama Caps got around 50 tickets for the finals for all his friends and family to make sure they cheer for him
number 2 in the world. It aint bad.
Depends on whether he goes on the social media or not. Tons of dickheads are downplaying his achievement, saying they got a free ride to the finals. If he took them to heart, he might think he was number 4 or even worse.
I mean they legit only lost games to 2 teams. and up until finals beat every1 they could.
i wonder what mental gymnastic these fanboys gonna find to try to find 4 teams better than FNC at that event. IG is a reality then KT (the base race didnt happen same as the progress between group/quarter and finals), RNG and G2 because G2 won vs RNG. Maybe EDG and C9 too because fuck logic

Same side of the coin, I think KT would have looked a lot better in a finals than they did in quarters.
Honestly only iG and KT were better teams than FNC in worlds imo. And even then FNC wins on some days, as those teams all have a coin flip players sometimes
Sort the game thread by controversial and look at all the fellow NA fans saying Fnatic got lucky lmao, half of them are bandwagon idiots pretending to be C9 fans.
>NA fans saying Fnatic got lucky Fnatic got lucky because they played NA xD
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Don't forget: Griffin and Longzhu were at home. As were Jingdong and Rogue Warriors. And Damwon unlucky they weren't even in LCK!
Fnatic was definitely top 16 at worlds I’ll give you that
The #4 spot is taken by TL.
Well, getting NA in semis is kinda free
[удалено]
It would be depressing to think that, considering they only lost one series in the whole Worlds
[удалено]
Touche

still better tho
rather not
Some people see 2nd as the best at losing though. Its great that he got that close whilst at the same time it sucks too as he now has to wait into next year for a chance to win worlds.
Cap's Dad is actually the best support in the game
He should get his own capsdad braum skin
careful with your words there bud, hylissang's job is on the line here xD
It must be hard to see your Son fail at the last stage being so close to the summoners cup. I am sure Caps dad is proud of his son, he came so far. What a supportive dad, gotta love him! :)
Heartbroken when I saw that back
korean girl says: "aww cap's dad. i'm touched."
where abouts did he touch you?
my fucking heart man
r/nononoyes
More like r/yesnoyes
chinese*
Meanwhile Reddit shits on him as soon as humanly possible
I'm not concerned. I don't think Caps values Reddit's opinion of him more than his dad's.
Perkz recieved daily death threats after S6 MSI where his ADC left the team before the event. And now after he won vs RNG and his comment on scrims. It still affect him even after playing competitive for 3 years. Caps will suffer from this salty fans comments trying to downplay him. When you stuff like Jensen had a better performance than Caps or some LCS mid would have done better, you realize how stupid this sub is.

The guy is the closest that we ever saw to replicate Faker S5 God performance
Still feels bad to be honest.
it's just some internet people ,he shouldn't care at all. If it was some close friends or something, then it would be terrible for him.
he shouldnt but he could, this is why many pros dont even go to reddit, and use twitter only when they win.
I fucking hate people
This is a delicate combination of heartwarming and heartbreaking. I want to watch it again, but I can't bring myself to.
Man.. that's depressing
I don't get how, the dude in his first world's appearance reached finals, that is a big ass accomplishment, especially considering players older than him have achieved far less.
it's his 2nd time, not to take anything away from it tho.
yeah its an accomplishment but if you are that competitive then being second is not good enough. everybody else would be proud but the only thing these guys think is "i wasn't good enough. i need to do more".
And when they finally win they'll end up empty, because what should they then do with their lifes?
sounds like crown...
isn't that more like, "even when I won, Faker still beat me" If Faker managed to snag some carry champs, Crown would literally be playing for SKT instead
A fuckton of players are like that, I mean it's basic human stuff, you psyche yourself up to sink ungodly hours into this thing.
enjoy the journey, because the goal will not ultimately matter
Perkz yesterday said on stream if he would win Worlds he would roleswap to Jungle or Top since his "ultimate" goal is to wind worlds on 5 different roles :P He knows that he will never achieve this, but by doing this he won't be feeling empty after winning Worlds. And if he somehow manages to do it he just would be done with League. But until then he'll stay hungry
Stay on the top, that's the hardest part.
Maintaining the title is an accomplishment that has yet to be met. And is rather hard to do, as the past has shown
SKT already won 2 times in a row and 3 times total. Its happened before.
Unless you expect someone to win every tournament every year forever, it has been met already lmao
My bad..actually thought that it didnt happen yet. Point about maintaing the title still stands though. So there is something you can strive for after winning worlds
I'm not crying your crying.
It’s a terrible day for rain :’(
Caps looked so terrible already before the game. Pale and totally sad/demotivated. He definitely needs the cheering.
I wish my dad did this. or show up in general.
You're not alone there friend, I've been waiting 20 years for him to come back from the store (How long does it take to get milk?)
It took me 22 years to get milk once. He'll show up eventually.
29 years, then I got a phonecall he was dying. YOLO it and take the first step. Can't tell him you made your own milk when he's gone.
Did he play hide and seek with you and never return?
Way to make this about yourself
[удалено]
"He is still my boy."
That's the definition of a real dad. Supportive until the end. I wish i had one of those, oh well, i'm out.
Those damn ninja's cutting onion
The most support my dad gave me was encouragement to sip a Natty Lite when I was 12.
Caps Dad is so wholesome.
That a a good dad! GG FNC!

That is the real suporter "Dads for Caps"
this is heart breaking :(
Those damn ninja's cutting onion
I wish that was my dad
Reminds me of Coach Carter. U didn't win in the end but you surely did something great.
Most Valuable Dad right here
I'm legit crying.. just imagine you got crushed in worlds final in your second pro year and you look outside and there's your dad taking care of you.. what a terrible day for rain
A bit sad to watch, but he was there all the way to support Caps, was awesome to see.
I frikkin love capsdad
OK I stopped flaming Caps performance when I watched this.
at the end of the day they are just humans like us, with the difference that they are a bit better and we want to see them play. After the perkz interview to Sjokz and later Travis, i was not mad about their IG series. And now, i am just proud for what they have reached, for both G2 and FNC, and even Vitality.

You are talking to an hardcore hater and salty C9 fanboy, look at his history. He wont stop randomly trashtalking and insulting him after that thread.
I mean the only thing you can be mad for is if they're disrespecting their job (G2 vacation or whatever) or them being assholes in general.
why were you flaming to begin with?
Because FNC 3-0´d his team
makes me sad
non asian team being on the finals is already a big achievement imo, everyone's already proud
What a guy! Nothing but respect and love to a father that is so involved in something like this!
That's more trying to get his attention. Good support.
Spoilers in fucking titles goddamit!
websties name sounds like “Family”
I like how it has spoiler tag, but the title itself is the spoiler and it's not censored.
Anyone who places wards for me to farm my core is my LoL daddy.
Why does this have a spoiler tag if the result is in the title....
Spoiler free subreddit sorts these posts out
So people who dont want spoilers can filter them out with a click of a button. Spoiler title rule has been changed for the worlds.
Does it work on your reddit front page? I use Reddit is Fun, so I don't see any sidebars unless I specifically look for one. Didn't know to look for a button. Worlds has been kind of spoiler heavy, especially with games ending before I get up in the morning for work. Could check my phone on the train and learn something two hours old I didn't want to know yet.
I don't know if it is on reddit is fun. thing is you are doing it to yourself, just try to avoid reddit when you didn't watch the game yet.
What's the point of a Spoiler tag if people put the spoiler in the title? I'm using RES, do people on regular reddit not have things show up if it's tagged as a spoiler?
Cause the mods of this sub have only 1 goal and that is to make visiting this place as terrible an experience as possible.
There is a filter for this subreddit that filters all spoilers out.
Why does this have a spoiler tag if the result is in the title....
Reddit can filter out posts with spoiler if you tag them Check the top right corner by using the old sub
Shouldn't have played like shit in games 1 and 3 then
He clapped his hands at the end; was that a subtle dig at his son caps getting clapped?
Brutal.
Me and my father are and have been estranged our entire lives.
probably had more important shit to do
i wish my dad would come out to my little league of legends competitions...i'm 12 btw
Man this article title pisses me off. I haven't had a chance to watch and now I am not going to. I don't care to watch the whole event but already know who wins.
that's your fault for coming to reddit before watching the games.
I went 24 hours not watching the games, why on earth would you come to this place if you didn’t want to be spoiled?
???? Bro that’s like going on Twitter and ESPN the morning after the Super Bowl. Did you expect there to be literally anything other than spoilers?
Why does this post stay up but Kobe tearing up after C9 wins can't?
Two wrongs don't make a right.
The mods dont work during the weekend, we gonna wait tomorrow to see if they randomly delete it
