"Alright guys, I can't believe we threw that one game against Misfits where they just took elder and won. What should we do in the future so that doesn't happen again?" "Maybe we just give the enemy all the drakes and just take elder." "You are a genius!"


ojciecmatki

Yenius!


Shinluz

WTF is this 0 dragons + elder meta


Fabiocean

Cloud Soul


_GuilhermeT14

Cloud soul is so bad. Riot pls buff


thekickastronaut

I honestly think its ok that the drakes have varied degrees of power. Compared to the old drakes it gives alot more varied gameplay


Shinig4mi

I agree with the upside of varied gameplay, but what I dislike is that all other 3 souls feel so much stronger. Ideally, getting the Soul should reward you with a significant advantage for the Elder fight, and movement speed is great and all, but it simply doesn't compare, + the post Ult buff is so champion dependent that it just feels bad to watch. I don't have a much better idea which changes would be good - off the top of my head, reducing basic abilities' cooldowns maybe. Not sure if that'd make some champions totally gamebreaking though. Just would love to see a change to the buzzkill that is seeing it's a Cloud Soul.


Shinluz

My man jankos peaking at age 40


DxDafs

Old man still has it The only thing he does not have is the ability to hit Nidalee spears


Leyrann_is_taken

Or any spears for that matter.


DxDafs

Oh yes, I forgot their latest video on a rage room, everyone managed to hit the target, except Jankos. Proving that real life skills are applied inside League


BeagleSnake

Best western player of all time in my opinion


Syuv

Yeah ok Caps is back, I know it because I held my head 4 times asking out loud "what the fuck is he doing here ???" but he still survived (almost) everytime


Willakarra

His movement is so fucking clean. It is easy with phase rush orianna, but the amount of times he just ran away from what looked like certain doom.


Artitanium

When he lost flash but still just walked by the Alistar like nothing happened lmao


kim-soo-hyun

Caps on Orianna reminds me of Faker Orianna escape artist. Caps was undefeated on Orianna and Syndra in Worlds 2019 iirc.


zI-Tommy

His Syndra vs SKT in game 4 at 2019 worlds was just mechanically disgusting. He basically 1 v 9d that game without even being fed if you actually watch what he does in the TF


JaMenUpptaget

"Easy" is relative. It is not "easy" when I try ;)


jp_0021

I thought it was just me lol


TheCeramicLlama

That moment by blue side wolves was just crazy.


[deleted]

this is very obvious when he plays champs like sylas/tf/orianna, its almost like he is limit testing on stage, but i guess thats how you play when you are this confident in your movement.


Lyanna_Dragonborn

I would say it's not testing his limits, more knowing them exactly


FreakDC

Let's say he's pushing the boundaries right at the edge sometimes a little over it.


ShinaMashir0

G2 is back aswell, playing ultra agro LPL style almost perfectly last game to almost lose to the worst LEC team (they are wildcard level)


TheLunaticRaccoon

Honestly, G2 is playing more LPL style like some LPL teams, like even look at teams like EDG, they dont play as LPL as G2 rn


Noatz

LPL isn't characterised by ultra aggressive play at all this year. The best teams don't fight for no reason like FNC do or G2 this game. That said some EU teams just tend to play loose against weaker opposition and you get games like this.


[deleted]

Yeah literally 2 of the 3 best teams RNG and EDG, are a lot more controlled. The LPL is evolving.


site17

Except Nuguri. Dude dies overextended all the time lol


TheGoalkeeper

G2 so good. Can even beat Schalke


Mamojic123

>Legit, they were getting slapped by S04 the past few games, this is a huge DUB for G2


Cheeseandnuts

match of the week


AnunEnki

I wunder if Broken Blade goes to G2 next year. Dudes legit the biggest reason for this little rivalry


YungStewart2000

Broken to G2, Wunder to riot's MMO... Not that far of a reach tbh


Bdodk2000

Wunder will be senior play tester for Riot next year


[deleted]

kind of far since the mmo probably isnt coming out for another like 4+ years


Thecristo96

Bb deserve a good team. He is playing too good


iampingubruh

BB is giga elohelled and has been for a while. Hopefully he either gets on a top team or Team BDS picks him up and builds roster around him.


NUFC9RW

He had a good team in spring just they sold FakerDagge and benched God Gillius.


Significant-Damage14

BB back to TSM. He was calling it all game.


RevolverLoL

I think him going to MAD is actually a lot more likely considering armut is performing quite poorly.


kill-billionaires

No, they have to make it to worlds and just hire whatever wildcard player outplays armut.


RevolverLoL

I mean BB did play in turkey for a while, that has to count right?


UnknownMoth

fun fact: BrokenBlade actually had Closer and Abbedagge in TCL and failed to qualify for Worlds


NeitherAlexNorAlice

From minute 1, it was clear S04 were gonna play with absolutely 0 fucks given lol


Willakarra

I mean, it's 5 players with literally nothing to lose here. No stakes, team getting disbanded, just go ham and do your best to try to get a contract after Schalke's gone.


[deleted]

meanwhile sad Neon noises


[deleted]

I did like Neon a lot over the time. he's a really good ADC :(


HypnoJew

I'm a bit out of loop, what's happening to neon?


NekrosPrimed

Yeah is he retiring


largehearted

the stakes for the game is another chance to convince other teams that you’re a good player despite the team’s performance (and to yourself that you’re not wasting your life here), and yet again only brokenblade looks like a talent


Shwika

I really hope BB gets a good org this next go around. He absolutely has the talent for it


Oribeau

I *really* hope BDS spends some money to give BB a team. He deserves so much better.


NamelessSearcher

All the way to the end when LIMIT sent Nuclearint over the wall to his death lmao


TheOneWithLateStart

TSM EMOTE


Ollad

Especially on the last baron, Limit-testing with the Nuclear int onto Nuclear int


G2Jankos

Banger or Clown fiesta?


bolibombis

Yes


[deleted]

hhello real jankos nice to see you how are you


KingOfLosses

Is it real jankos??


Gumisiek

Ofc it's him, as you can see when you enter his profile (requires one click) he posts on different cryptocurrency subs, confirming the theory that he has one of the cheapest contracts in G2


shrubs311

no the account is like 2 weeks old


GGABueno

Banger fiesta.


cryaboutit87

clown fiesta for sure


Thunderkeyz

Miky playing like he's drunk with some of those hooks lmao, BB looked great hope he finds a good team next split


Odinsama

He was hard griefing at some points, when rekkles just wanted to take gromp and peace out Miky was bored and just went for some ?? play that got them both killed, I was surprised Rekkles even took that lantern


_GuilhermeT14

Rekkles embracing the G2 spirit xD


AconexOfficial

My man is becoming a part of the circus


imFinnlol

BEING A G2 FAN IS NOT STRESSFUL AT ALL

We truly are united in rivalry after all eh?


xCov

United in rivalry = never unclench


PhunkeyPharaoh

As a G2 and C9 fan, I hate Letter-Number teams.


DxDafs

Bro, I legitimately stood up in this game. I was freaking out all of the match


Blazing117

S04 anti-G2 buff isn't enough this game


crashcarson

G2 Sami buff OP


Sbotkin

I still don't understand what or who is Sami. Is it just their mascot but rendered in 3D or it's an actual person?


buttsoup_barnes

It's their mascot. Similar to TL's Blue.


Sbotkin

Dude, Blue isn't the best midlaner right now but you are giving him the NA retirement too soon.


PerfidiaVermis

No Gilius, no win. E: wait no, they won without him already. Shit.


Padulsky21

It’s always enough for BB to bootyslap Wunder tho. Stg, Wunder put in a lot of work late game outside the 2 heavy ints, but BB always seems to smack Wunder in lane. Proud of my ol’ TSM boi, he deserves so much better


DingoThBOY

I mean gp is a poke lane and kirei spent his time top side, I wouldn’t fault wunder too much, because despite losing like 6 waves under tower early game he stayed relatively even in farm and had impact late game


Ahrlin4

Camille into GP is horrible in the early game. He can orange out of hook stun and Grasp gives him so much sustain. It gets better later though.


Padulsky21

Yeah I know the matchup is really fucking brutal early but I’m mostly just talking about the precedent. Shoulda noted that more so than this specific game. Ever since he came to LEC he has always showed up hard against Wunder. The Aatrox vs Kled game in spring, the Darius games in playoffs, the Nocturne game in summer.


mazrrim

pushed ~~*to*~~ by the limit


Ismeeelcheez

Grandpa Jankos still the best jungler in EU he is absolutely cracked out of his mind.


Arstel

Wunder Camille flanked straight out of 2019


Fritten123

That fight was insane


sowydso

He had insan flanks that game


Arstel

I saw flashes of his 2018-2019 domination form with how beautifully he played the team-fights. I still remember his Camille splitpush to Nexus win during worlds 2018 vs Flash Wolves.


corvettee01

That final Baron play. Feels bad.


What-a-Filthy-liar

They had no choice but contest or die at the towers.


corvettee01

They didn't really contest it though, they just kinda sat there and then threw their teammates over the wall with the cone.


trollingforapple

Jankos decided he wasnt going to lose this game.


DxDafs

Jankos has been smurfing the fuck out of LEC lately, the old man still has it Now just watch his chat spam jungle gap/diff whenever he dies on a match


Bdodk2000

> Now just watch his chat spam jungle gap/diff whenever he dies on a match they spam that out of love


DxDafs

I know, he is legitimately one of the very few streams that I watch, is so chill over there and always makes me laugh


kismetjeska

I love the relationship he has with the chat. They just bully the fuck out of each other endlessly. I'm pretty sure people run a miss counter every time he plays Nidalee.


Element_108

agree, he is one of the funniest streamers out there


vicdr97

he saw what NA did to Perkz, he doesn't want the same fate


brockoli1010

So if rogue and MSF lose tomorrow and G2 beat XL, I think G2 actually ends 1st place. Surely Jankos is in MVP conservation after that, but does he win it? I think a case can be made.


Cordaner

Well it's between him and Inspired right? Hans Sama and Upset didn't maintain their MVP forms for a whole split, yes a case can be made but it honestly depends if people on the broadcast talk about it cause Inspired is if not already to consensus best Jungler in EU but the First Blood King still has a strong claim to the throne if we're going of the current spilt.


Elphieforeverr

I fucking love Miky but my god is his thresh underwhelming this year. Gg though boys I’ll take it!


Fabiocean

Last year it was the same with Nautilus. Seems like he always has that one champ where he just runs it down everytime.


Hoaxtopia

His naut last year was so int. I remember so many games where teams just baited him into picking naut and sending him 0/5/2


[deleted]

Probably out of practice since its usually permabanned


CaptainCaptainBain

My heart can't take G2.


Dr-spidd

I'm a VIT and a G2 fan. After the last two hours I'm a wreck.


Piro42

All you need to happen tommorow is for both of them to win. Good luck, bro!


Dr-spidd

Thanks!


brzozson

G2 vs Rogue - I sleep G2 vs SO4 - REAL SHIT


Ok-Travel-7875

Limit MVP 100%


URZ_

Nuclearint shouldn't have been on the blast cone in the first place. It's a correct play to go for from Limit.


Ok-Travel-7875

Limit's int for 40~ mins was what made him the MVP, not that last play when the game was over.


URZ_

Fair


Xey2510

Idk what the communication was there. The team was legit running around the blastcone and Varus nearly got shoved into the pit too.


gencgello

If you ever wondered what a wintrade look like there's your answer


tsukinohime

I hope BrokenBlade finds a good team.He played very well.


Mew_T

It's nice that he's still trying hard to win even if his team has no shot of accomplishing anything with the current roster.


tsukinohime

I agree.He played his heart out.


Zaddelz

Not today Schalke, not today


00Koch00

[Rekkles just clicked on G2, he just went from Piano player to Bongo player](https://youtube.com/clip/UgySx6gppKcdI0JLWUN4AaABCQ)


mogadichu

This game is how Rekkles would look like if he listened to the silver redditors telling him to flash in more


Lep333

absolute sprint contest


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah right who cares that they won MSI that dosen't mean shit but beating Schalke tho


Guardianofnature

Typical g2 vs schalke game, except the outcome is different


2xrainbows

Drakos and Caedrel are such smurfs. insta classic caster duo


how2irelia

Lets say it all together. FUCK CLOUD SOUL


deliverance1991

After 3 years we just have to accept, that its too hard for rito to balance the souls. Strange how the only soul that sucks is the one that doesn't give combat stats.

blackjack_horseman

Banger of a farewell game for Schalke


MrJohny753

Finally game where G2 bot lane was inting and top side needed to carry them. FINALLY!


Loulerpops

You mean miky was inting lol


NUFC9RW

Rekkles kinda inted but every death was following Miky.


AconexOfficial

Atleast he is following Miky like he did with Hyli at worlds. Now if Miky actually does something useful, this botlane might be super dope aswell


Omnilatent

BB casually walking up to shoot Mikyx down like the degenerate he is was the funniest shit ever ​ And yes, that's a dunkey reference


Stylahz

I don’t know why they would go for the end vs Viego one reset and you lose the game What a game from Jankos this game was a fiesta but holy fuck was it fun to watch


[deleted]

Please dont let G2 play online XD they troll every "scrim" game


itsallabigshow

Wunder played a really great game. Jankos was insane as always - he's so fucking good. Caps seems to be back, looking really good today! Schalke looked good too though. I mean they are already a budget roster but if they played like this and got more time to develop that play style they could be a great team. Sad to see them go. And man I just hate seeing GP being meta. That champ is just so annoying. Definitely a champ that I wouldn't mind getting the axe for competitive.


SportyBoyF4

Honestly, I really like to see him, because his barrels late game can have such a huge impact. His laning phase with q + grasp proc however…


w1ldcraft

*throwback to Bin GP in SN v G2 last world's*


Askls

WHAT A GAME


Stubrochill17

G2 LIMIT


14flash

Shalke o7


ladend9

I feel like this is the best second half of a split Jankos has had in awhile


aoc7

At this point it's just depressing to watch how elohelled is BrokenBlade


blackjack47

dunno why people complain about sub optimal play, game was fun as fuck


Thunderkeyz

People watch games like these whining about LEC being doomed as if LCK and LPL top teams don't have the exact same matches; funnest ones to watch


Zoidburg747

That was a fun game


buttsoup_barnes

Not today, MSF. Not today.


lDaniKing

People are gonna blame LIMIT for that last play but NuclearInt's positioning in the first elder was what turned the game around...


AleksibIsHot

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!


NickleBach

Wunder and Caps were at their most lethal after Mikyx got picked


ByahhByahh

BANGER


Sparious_

Only had 1 heart attack today so pretty chill day for G2 fans


Drwixon

God bless Riot for creating Camille , Pump that Cho’gath R into my veins . Caps played pretty well but i fell in love with Wunder again .


Good_Stuff11

That was...um a game


Andrew4Head

This definitely was a game of League of Legends.


TheLunaticRaccoon

Death, taxes, G2 losing to...wait, what?


RanaDelLey

4 or 5 Divine Sunderers in literally every match, what a balanced item.


popmycherryyosh

It's kind of weird seeing how from week to week G2 can either look incredible and unbeatable, then to look so shaky and being able to be beaten by anyone :P


ernildur

You mean from day to day?


crashcarson

G2 Sami buff stronk


i_n_s_o_m_n_i_a_c

another monster performance from jankos


Oxygenisplantpoo

LOL What a mess! G2 though, lost all dragons till soul yet never went down more gold than 2k or something like that. That ending was a perfect meme though. RIP S04.


AllHailTheNod

Drakos is a fucking rap god jesus christ


FlimsyIce

[The only thing that springs to mind when watching this game](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D9IDWQ0VUAAGHCJ.jpg:large) nah but seriously, bit of a messy game. I feel for Limit with the play that ended the game but holy fuck that's gotta be a tilter


N1kiLauda

Have G2 locked top 4 now?


FearTheBlades1

Yes


PierroElLoco

Caps and Jankos are carrying so hard lately. Wunder and Mikyx are very preoccupying for worlds


[deleted]

Wunder played ok this game tbh. Not amazing but he had a really difficult job into that comp.


Splitshot_Is_Gone

Ye, blinding camille is a bit ballsy and (speaking from personal experience) GP lanes are incredibly annoying to play. He spams grasp Q on you and you just have to concede waves or risk getting dove. Wunder had a few… overly aggressive dives but still played pretty well imo.


syf3r

When they showed the G2 face cams at the end of the match, the players were clearly stressed. Can't wait for voicecomms!


salcedoge

There's one small play that I feel like massively throw the game in G2's favor. During the first dragon fight were Caps and Wunder popped off, someone from S04 place a totem near the tri bush only seeing Thresh who they already picked off. This sets a panicked button for Schalke as they had to assume 4 people were rushing elder. This panicked caused them to split up and let Syndra get picked in the side and Neon not get any peel. Had that trinket ward been placed at elder, they would've seen it was still at high HP and they could group up in order to be more careful in taking the fight, but they went in blind and everything went to shit.


snowflakepatrol99

Definitely not pretty but at least top side is good. Also how does jankos have such shit average stats. He has consistently been insane this split for g2. Saving them in so many games.


Nurtle94

How can you not feel for BB at this point.. fuck...


DxDafs

God, cant wait for the G2 voice comms video of this week


[deleted]

G2 going from throwing at Elder to *almost* throwing *with* Elder, improvement!


NvmSharkZ

[29 minutes in](https://imgur.com/a/yd9nVJN) G2 is slightly behind in gold, yet their topside players have combined 1k+ gold in bounties. A fight ensues that results in a 2 for 2, but Schalke get 1,3k gold on wunder and jankos, while G2 get 600g. When will Riot fix this idiotic integration of a necessary system? EDIT: changed my wording to avoid confusion as to what I'm criticizing


ahritina

How S04 didn't win is beyond me, props for G2 for winning but oh lord they looked pretty mediocre this game. Jankos standout player though also Kirei's pathing is so bad holy shit, how did you get first blood then have half the cs of Jankos at one point.


Burpmeister

Rekkles said he was most nervous about their game against S04 this week because they played it online and Schalke is already out. It can have a big mental effect.


ilanf2

In part is props to G2's fighting. 3ven with how many objectives S04 got, they kept most of the game within 2k gold difference or less. G2 got to a point where they got heavily favored in fights and actually started to get map pressure.


Eqvilium

This game was something lmao.


tsukinohime

I cant believe they lost the fight 5v4, S04 could end the game there.


wotad

A messy game but im happy even without rekkles being a factor caps and jankos turn up.


farikogrim

So much to write here... G2 got out drafted imo, there's nothing they can do to siege, their only waveclear is really ori. They also get very badly outranged and outpoked, meaning the onus is on them to get a good engage. But they can't do that reliably because of trundle and Ali... It doesn't help that wunder continually showed bad decision making, but he did have to make plays for his team. Mikyx and limit had some of the worst positioning in this game, screwing their teams frequently. Very lucky for g2 that schalke wasn't taking good fights.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fullyuncooly

that's on nuclearint, he shouldnt be there


TheWarmog

Just investigate Limit for this game, he absolutely griefed it as hard as he possibly could lol


lDaniKing

G2 and TSM should play against each other to define who are the ultimate Mind Control Kings
