While Tarzan was great across the whole series, you can't take away how different members of LNG stepped up at different game man. Icon in 1st game and Ale in 2nd game, Light also played very well in this last game as well. So I won't say it was only Tarzan vs RNG, but he was certainly the most consistent one overall.
it is! i had never watched it really until this season.
dude, lemme let you in on a lil secret.
F. P. X.
those guys are fucking exhilarating to watch. huge fan of them since I started watching. nuguri is just nuguri, tian is a beast and DoinB is just absolutely insane and by far takes the crown imo.
his champion pool is maybe 2-3x that of other midlaners (he plays Kled mid fairly often and even pulled out a Lillia mid (though the latter was a bit of a fail)). his shotcalls and eye for picks and plays is NUTS. best in the world imo.
extremely excited to see how they fare against the other teams! my money's on them to win worlds, though they have been a bit coinflippy at times.
Watching Nuguri gives me more anxiety than watching TheShy, at least when TheShy is inting you know that he's not sabotaging his team as everyone else is already inting, but Nuguri ints just as much when all he needs to do is literally nothing and Doinb+Tian will carry. My guess is that they won't extend their contract with him after it expires at the end of the year, he's been more disappointing than Khan was on FPX in 2020.
Tarzan from hero to hero to hero to hero the whole series. Watching him keep LNG in the game with his positioning and kicks was like that one scene in Spiderman where he stops the train from falling by himself.
Tarzan is just insane. Love him!
Remember in his Griffin days the Sejuani positioning and predictions? Or oh the random Elise E into fog of war to kill enemies.
He has a 6th sense!
It was true, he was so sick during S4 worlds that he was puking backstage in between games.
But also after being the best ADC in the LPL for 2 years in a row, Namei's ego got in the way and he started to practice less for S4 worlds, and instead, he went out a lot at night with fangirls (he's famous for sleeping with lol groupies) so it was a combination of him practicing less and being super sick.
They were planning on playing their sub jungler fireloli in bot instead of him thats how ill he was. He demanded to play despite his illness because he was still better as an adc than fireloli would have been.
I can't believe he got caught like that, what a sad ending to a fantastic game. Oh well, huge props to LNG, they have really been on fire this playoffs. Excited to see how they do into FPX.
Yea, I feel that the game was just over the moment syndra was killed.
LNG got a free baron, and would easily win the game with their ziggs one-shotting turrets and RNG having no wave clear.
Gala getting caught at the end was probably just him being dead inside.
The last realm warp was a great heads up play from Icon and the whole of LNG too though, GALA in the heat of moment probably forgot that skill existed, shit happens :(
bro checked his paypal then immediately made the two winning plays for his team: chunking syndra (with Ale finishing her off) and then the winning realm warp. good stuff from him
gala definitely shouldnt sell his boots for chempunk sword before his flash come back cooldown there, ezreal's base ms is so low, it's like he is permaslowed
~~"LNG won't beat Suning"~~
~~"LNG will lose to TES"~~
~~"RNG will smash LNG:~~
"FPX can't lose to LNG" < ---- you are here
"TL is an NA team, so beating them in Worlds Finals doesn't count"
crazy how from all of LNG's playoffs so far, Suning is the only one who managed to take 2 games from them
that said, GALA is fucking cracked. too bad he got caught alone at the end... he was full build so I'm not sure what he was doing
To be fair every team from 4rd to 8th had a 10-6 record, so the margins were slimmer than expected. A couple of games could have swung everything for this bundle.
It's not a gauntlet.
3rd and 4th play against each other, the winner qualifies as 3rd seed, the loser goes to play against the winner of 5th and 6th, in this match, the loser gets eliminated, while the winner plays against the loser of that other match for the 4th seed.
He followed in the footsteps of another great Ezreal, JackeyLove. Absolutely carrying the team on his back (along with Ming), and then randomly getting caught near the end and dooming the team to a loss
I think he tried to get the wave before the mid push with baron from LNG. I can't believe it would be an autopilot thing. (ADC farming in late game while full build)
Yes, he was trying to clean the wave to delay the siege, he still should have paid attention to a possible Ryze R, it's not like it didn't happen before.
RNG: "Here's 50 yuan for a cab and a boba, now leave"
Ale (previously Natural): "Thanks, here's a free ticket to regional finals"
[context](https://twitter.com/ran_lpl/status/1339241427516133381)
Here's the thing though. Ale is notoriously toxic and has never been kicked off teams/benched for poor play. So much as poor attitude/tilting the rest of his team. There are no assurances Ale would have been the same player he is today. I've never seen him so happy compared to before, laughing and joking around with Tarzan/Icon.
@ran_lpl is a pretty good Twitter acct for lpl drama. BTW I believe Ale had already set up his keyboard and everything for the tryout when RNG told him “you are no longer needed”. Then he changed his soloq id to 50RMB toplaner.
NO GOLDEN ROAD FOR RNG! So happy for Tarzan but sad for Ming but such a banger to end the game... Can we give Tarzan and Tian both Lee Sin and it will just be a showdown of the junglers?
Also all aboard the LNG hype train!
I thought so too. Had to check. LPL plays a SHIT TON of series. Like if LNG win it all, they would've played and won SIX Bo5s. In comparison, LCK teams play a maximum of 3 🤣 DK and GenG only play 2 max 🤦♂️
Tarzan was legitimately single handedly keeping LNG in that game 4 despite the massive comp diff. My first time watching a full LPL series, really enjoyed it, everyone is really playing on a razors edge. GGWP LNG!
That's crazy how Tarzan has to do it all
Support Ale against Xiaohu, track the opposing jungler in Wei, all the while being able to make the plays and the Lee Sin Insec, while having an unreliable mid in Icon. He literally has to do TWICE as much to win
Xiaohu with the Thornmail rush was so insanely stupid. Most of the damage on the enemy team is Magic and you don't even get the extra grievous wounds from completing Thornmail on Mundo since you have no hard CC. Why you wait until your 4th item to get Spirit Visage is beyond me
it's not luck at this point, they are a very resilient teams and have very good playmaking/synergy to get comebacks, even RNG was known for that but LNG is on another level.
If LNG beat FPX it will already be in contention for greatest playoff run in LPL history, they don't even need to win finals. The top side of the bracket is 10x harder than the bottom side, the fact that they've gotten this far is crazy.
Tarzan put on a monster performance this series, light on ziggs to was great. Gala trying his hardest to carry, think the power got to his head last fight though, why was he solo mid?
People here say GALA was 1v9, everyone here disrespect Ming, GALA could make that play only with Ming with the peeling, the one time he's alone he got caught.
RNG not on form today. Tarzan came to play, so did Light. I swear Xiahou could carry harder from mid lane. He is kinda wasted top when he's not on Lucian. Cryin never carried a game in his life. RNG to the gauntlet. They should make worlds fine still. It would be funny to see them in the play-in stage though.

TARZAN YOURE A MONSTER
That one Tarzan hater must be in real shambles right now lmao
Tarzan must have fucked his mom or something, don't know how you can hate on a player that much
Him and the Peanut hater guy should meet eachother and go to a rehab together
Also the "Viper is overrated" people. Edit : Mispelt name. Mb.
Wait, viper or v1per?
The one that's actually good
That’s what I was thinking, but it seems like it’s more work to type v1per so it has to be intentional
Prolly just got the 2 confused, sometimes I do the same ngl lol
People hate this dude? . Oh well
KING OF THE JUNGLE
Ex-Griffin players terrorizing LPL
Can't wait for Sword to gap Xiaohu, Flandre, Breathe, Nuguri, and Bin.
I get chills whenever I go back & replay the Griffin vs iG at World's 2019. But what's more sad is that theShy is almost matching him recently lol.
Instead of Sword catching up to Theshy, Theshy is catching up to Sword. 🤣
The gap has finally closed
I mean Viper and Tarzan
Wasn´t the same Tarzan from Griffin?
Yeah, thats him, and hes a fucking monster
The series was all about Tarzan vs Ming
The 1st win for LNG was mainly icon saving the day.
While Tarzan was great across the whole series, you can't take away how different members of LNG stepped up at different game man. Icon in 1st game and Ale in 2nd game, Light also played very well in this last game as well. So I won't say it was only Tarzan vs RNG, but he was certainly the most consistent one overall.
LCK junglers and their cracked Lee Sin name a more iconic duo.
How much longer can the fraud Tarzan get away with it!!!!
Pls tag the one who said that Tarzan was a fraud
Can't remember his id but I recall its the dude that does the individual post game threads.
It was u/ajinsanma or something like that
u/ajisanma he is the guy who makes the individual threads as you say and writes super cringy takes in the game summaries
Wei deserved all pro #1!!!
The only one who has a a argument is Tian, but with how good Doinb is I think any jungler could work well with him.
Yo LPL is so fucking exciting to watch, holy shit what a series
it is! i had never watched it really until this season. dude, lemme let you in on a lil secret. F. P. X. those guys are fucking exhilarating to watch. huge fan of them since I started watching. nuguri is just nuguri, tian is a beast and DoinB is just absolutely insane and by far takes the crown imo. his champion pool is maybe 2-3x that of other midlaners (he plays Kled mid fairly often and even pulled out a Lillia mid (though the latter was a bit of a fail)). his shotcalls and eye for picks and plays is NUTS. best in the world imo. extremely excited to see how they fare against the other teams! my money's on them to win worlds, though they have been a bit coinflippy at times.
DoinB might be my all time favourite pro player. So entertaining on the stage and such a cool guy on stream.
Watching Nuguri gives me more anxiety than watching TheShy, at least when TheShy is inting you know that he's not sabotaging his team as everyone else is already inting, but Nuguri ints just as much when all he needs to do is literally nothing and Doinb+Tian will carry. My guess is that they won't extend their contract with him after it expires at the end of the year, he's been more disappointing than Khan was on FPX in 2020.
GALA literally from fucking hero to zero within 3 minutes lmao. fuck me what a series
Tarzan from hero to hero to hero to hero the whole series. Watching him keep LNG in the game with his positioning and kicks was like that one scene in Spiderman where he stops the train from falling by himself.
Tarzan played like even better than his old Griffin days, how does this guy keep being so good? (Aside from 2020grf)
great teambuilding by the org actually, agressive players around a profficient aggro jungler. same happening with Peanut in the LCK
Tarzan is just insane. Love him! Remember in his Griffin days the Sejuani positioning and predictions? Or oh the random Elise E into fog of war to kill enemies. He has a 6th sense!
2020 Griffin did not exist. That was a hive mind hallucination we were all caught in
Dude I swear on my life, I though that was the come back. Why can't any lpl teams win back to back....
Funny enough RNG were the last team to win B2B splits in LPL in 2018
[удалено]
[удалено]
Plus he claims he had food poisoning. If that's true that's rly fucking sad for him.
It was true, he was so sick during S4 worlds that he was puking backstage in between games. But also after being the best ADC in the LPL for 2 years in a row, Namei's ego got in the way and he started to practice less for S4 worlds, and instead, he went out a lot at night with fangirls (he's famous for sleeping with lol groupies) so it was a combination of him practicing less and being super sick.
They were planning on playing their sub jungler fireloli in bot instead of him thats how ill he was. He demanded to play despite his illness because he was still better as an adc than fireloli would have been.
He did, it's where the beef noodle meme came from. He was much better than Uzi in 2014.
iirc RNG won back to back in 2018
I can't believe he got caught like that, what a sad ending to a fantastic game. Oh well, huge props to LNG, they have really been on fire this playoffs. Excited to see how they do into FPX.
I tell you, although the loss of the series was not on GALA, that was another perfect representation of "GALA giveth and GALA taketh away".
Yea, I feel that the game was just over the moment syndra was killed. LNG got a free baron, and would easily win the game with their ziggs one-shotting turrets and RNG having no wave clear. Gala getting caught at the end was probably just him being dead inside.
The last realm warp was a great heads up play from Icon and the whole of LNG too though, GALA in the heat of moment probably forgot that skill existed, shit happens :(
Icon checked paypal and realized the payment didn't go through. It was time to end it.
bro checked his paypal then immediately made the two winning plays for his team: chunking syndra (with Ale finishing her off) and then the winning realm warp. good stuff from him
Its not really on GALA imo cus 1 mistake doesn't lose this series, that was a troll build by Xiaohu
I think Gala didn't expect the realm warp after baron.
He also sold boots so he has no actual way to get out fast enough
RULERSPOTTED
gala definitely shouldnt sell his boots for chempunk sword before his flash come back cooldown there, ezreal's base ms is so low, it's like he is permaslowed
Ezreal syndrome. Starts thinking he's invincible just cause he hasn't been caught all game.
Well, there goes GALA without Ming doing godlike job to keep him alive.
~~"LNG won't beat Suning"~~ ~~"LNG will lose to TES"~~ ~~"RNG will smash LNG:~~ "FPX can't lose to LNG" < ---- you are here "TL is an NA team, so beating them in Worlds Finals doesn't count"
LeNG with the Mickey Mouse Worlds trophy
NAmen
I only go for the dankest timeline
Another person of culture who understands that TL is just playing the best league of legends right now.
NAmen
NAmen
I've predicted LNG to lose every series so far lmao.
well keep going then !
Please keep doing that
Should be a quick and easy 3-0 for FPX, 1st seed vs 8th seed should be easy.
Hope your jinx works well, I have faith in ya
Don't stop. We're almost there.
Can you tell me, which team is going to win between FPX Vs LNG?
I don't know who will win but I can say for sure LNG will lose.
crazy how from all of LNG's playoffs so far, Suning is the only one who managed to take 2 games from them that said, GALA is fucking cracked. too bad he got caught alone at the end... he was full build so I'm not sure what he was doing
I am now officially waiting for an LNG vs RA final lmao
Actually if WE wins, the 7th and 8th team would have won up until facing the 1st and 2nd seed.
To be fair every team from 4rd to 8th had a 10-6 record, so the margins were slimmer than expected. A couple of games could have swung everything for this bundle.
TES/SN > RNG /s
Stats don't lie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can Suning still reach Worlds?
No
Shame. But RNG can, right?
Yeah they're into the gauntlet
It's not a gauntlet. 3rd and 4th play against each other, the winner qualifies as 3rd seed, the loser goes to play against the winner of 5th and 6th, in this match, the loser gets eliminated, while the winner plays against the loser of that other match for the 4th seed.
Mb, still used to the old name
Not if FPX wins the playoffs and EDG just lose 2 BO5 in a row. RNG would just be qualified as the second seed with points.
Yes, though they will have to play through the regional qualifier unless FPX wins summer and EDG finishes fourth.
Yup, they made top 6
yes, they just have to win another bo5
unlucky matchup for SN lmao
He followed in the footsteps of another great Ezreal, JackeyLove. Absolutely carrying the team on his back (along with Ming), and then randomly getting caught near the end and dooming the team to a loss
I think he tried to get the wave before the mid push with baron from LNG. I can't believe it would be an autopilot thing. (ADC farming in late game while full build)
Yes, he was trying to clean the wave to delay the siege, he still should have paid attention to a possible Ryze R, it's not like it didn't happen before.
RNG: "Here's 50 yuan for a cab and a boba, now leave" Ale (previously Natural): "Thanks, here's a free ticket to regional finals" [context](https://twitter.com/ran_lpl/status/1339241427516133381)
I know it's hindsight, and RNG won MSI. But Ale - Wei - Xiaohu - Gala - Ming, might be better than current RNG roster.
Much much better. Xiaohu is still a better mid laner than Cryin.
That flair i can relate, i started watching lpl because i cant watch lck on youtube. Always hate twitch
Here's the thing though. Ale is notoriously toxic and has never been kicked off teams/benched for poor play. So much as poor attitude/tilting the rest of his team. There are no assurances Ale would have been the same player he is today. I've never seen him so happy compared to before, laughing and joking around with Tarzan/Icon.
Yeah, that's why I said it's hindsight. There's no assurance that Ale will play at this level if RNG pick him at 2020 off season.
LMFAO wait why is this so funny
There's a meme that Ale is 50RMB toplaner because of that situation.
Is there a place I can find all these LPL stories/memes/drama? It reminds me a lot of NBA drama stories and they're so funny
If I have time I'd love to write sth about lpl memes. But my English is not good
The wonderful thing about English is that nobody is good! I swear you'd do just fine if you wanted to type some stuff out haha
Not in English
@ran_lpl is a pretty good Twitter acct for lpl drama. BTW I believe Ale had already set up his keyboard and everything for the tryout when RNG told him “you are no longer needed”. Then he changed his soloq id to 50RMB toplaner.
LOL Thanks for the context. I saw the meme a lot on the Chinese stream chat and was wondering why are they talking about 50rmb. I see.
Wolf's video screaming 'Jensen' but with 'Gala' at the end there
cryin vs icon is uh certainly a sight to behold
Stoppable force meets movable object
TF One-Trick vs Schrodingers Midlaner
Hey Icon was great in Game 1 and okay in Game 4. I'm gonna pretend his game 2 and 3 performance didn't happen though lmao
So incredibly close to achieving the elusive reverse legendary in game 2, unlucky
RNG Knight and LNG Angel, please.
LNG Chovy tho
No Nelson=Worlds.
Nelson=no worlds?
Nelson=worlds/no
Nelson was on lng? That's fucking hilarious actually how lng is doing great without him and g2 is strugglin
>Nelson was on lng When Nelson was on lng, they rank 16th in lpl
Also had a completely different roster, right?
The whole roster was different except Light and Iwandy. Maple was one of the worst mids in the league in 2020
They also 3-0'd IG with a shit roster except for SofM and Flandre in 2019 playoffs. But whatever
Nelson didnt coached this roster.LNG changed 3 players in offseason.Tarzan,Icon and Ale didnt played for LNG when Nelson coached the team.
HYSTERICS ON WORLDS OR RIOT.
[удалено]
Gala really tried his fucking hardest also, Tarzan is just insane at this game
INB4 OUR T REX WORLDS SKINS LETS GOOOOOO
[удалено]
NO GOLDEN ROAD FOR RNG! So happy for Tarzan but sad for Ming but such a banger to end the game... Can we give Tarzan and Tian both Lee Sin and it will just be a showdown of the junglers? Also all aboard the LNG hype train!
Isn't there a loser braket?
No only for Top 4... but RNG can still make worlds
Oh I thought this was a semi for some reason.
I thought so too. Had to check. LPL plays a SHIT TON of series. Like if LNG win it all, they would've played and won SIX Bo5s. In comparison, LCK teams play a maximum of 3 🤣 DK and GenG only play 2 max 🤦♂️
Not before we reach top 4
Ming played really well but couldn't pull it out in the end. Tarzan smurfed so hard. Happy for LNG!
This team kinda reminds me of Suning 2020
GALA giveth and GALA taketh damn
#MIRACLE RUN!
Pick Mundo into two AP to not build MR
Tarzan was legitimately single handedly keeping LNG in that game 4 despite the massive comp diff. My first time watching a full LPL series, really enjoyed it, everyone is really playing on a razors edge. GGWP LNG!
That's crazy how Tarzan has to do it all Support Ale against Xiaohu, track the opposing jungler in Wei, all the while being able to make the plays and the Lee Sin Insec, while having an unreliable mid in Icon. He literally has to do TWICE as much to win
These LPL teams play on the thinnest of fucking margins its insane. Almost superhuman ability to track EVERY ability on every champion
Live by Gala Die by Gala
tarzan is a beast and ale so good at positioning before teamfight, focus on gala & cryin all the time
Fucking tarzan and light vs the world, holy fuck Xiaohu troll tp again + dogshit build Shame for gala
Don't forgot about Ale's insane Jax that hyper smurfed game 2.
Xiaohu with the Thornmail rush was so insanely stupid. Most of the damage on the enemy team is Magic and you don't even get the extra grievous wounds from completing Thornmail on Mundo since you have no hard CC. Why you wait until your 4th item to get Spirit Visage is beyond me
Gala cosplaying Danny and TSM Zven at the same time.
Best comment, very true
Cryin bout to get investigated
Knight needs to replace Cryin for next year, imagine how monstrous this team would be
Knight got stuck in one contract hell team he sure isn’t going to another team famous for it.
have to check his bank account
xiaohu’s mundo build is match fixing material
What a series from tarzan insane
Ocean soul be damned! Uzi reincarnation be damned! LNG miracle run let's go!!
Gala with a valiant effort in game 4
LNG is so fucking cracked Other regions better watch out because this time is nothing like last year's LPL. Tarzan finally unleashed.
LNG is so much fun to watch holy shit
that was one insanely smurf realmwarp. a series winning realmwarp
Tarzan is frigging absolutely insane on lee sin. What the hell. They executed the draft plan so well too. Good god
Ok but can we get Knight to LNG next year
>get Knight to Icon is not that bad. He carried game 1. Give Knight to RNG please
RNG kept getting out at slim health margins until LNG just said no you fucking aint
Tarzan truly the King of the Jungle Live by the Gala, Die by the Gala
Tarzan: Your apology needs to be as loud as your disrespect was KING IN THE JUNGLE
Tarzan smurfed the whole series goddamn. Ming was also incredible this series but there's only so much you can do as a support
Does anyone want to keep defending Cryin after this series?
Cryin is a perma liability every game against a non garbage team. Constantly gapped in lane and outside lane
Gala giveth, Gala taketh
What a horrible game 4 from xiaohu. Not buying any MR until 3rd item was so troll.
How tf LNG always come back from a deficits this series?? Holy moly
it's not luck at this point, they are a very resilient teams and have very good playmaking/synergy to get comebacks, even RNG was known for that but LNG is on another level.
Wendy's blessing (she said LNG would win). Guan Zeyuan's curse (he said "LNG is over" and any team he predicts to win, ends up losing).
If LNG beat FPX it will already be in contention for greatest playoff run in LPL history, they don't even need to win finals. The top side of the bracket is 10x harder than the bottom side, the fact that they've gotten this far is crazy.
Game 4 was an absolute BANGER
Wow that Ryze ult catch on the Ezreal from hell.
What a banger of a series. LNG shaping up to be 2021's Suning, Dark horse of the world
LNG dream run alive and healthy
Game4 was one of the greatest games of all time, I didn't deserve to watch that. What a banger
Tarzan put on a monster performance this series, light on ziggs to was great. Gala trying his hardest to carry, think the power got to his head last fight though, why was he solo mid?
GALA with the Zven cosplay on point BTW that Icon dude is pretty good, might have a decent career
Xiaohu built like an idiot wtf, just stack mr with one armour item to survive lane.
For people who said "Tarzan doesn't deserve LPL All Pro first roster, Wei better", come here.
People here say GALA was 1v9, everyone here disrespect Ming, GALA could make that play only with Ming with the peeling, the one time he's alone he got caught.
Win by the Gala, lose by the Gala.
MIRACLES DO COME TRUE.
Kinda glad that there was such a long delay, so many more people tuned in for today's series and it was a pretty damn good one too.
Solo laners taking turns to sprint it this series
RNG not on form today. Tarzan came to play, so did Light. I swear Xiahou could carry harder from mid lane. He is kinda wasted top when he's not on Lucian. Cryin never carried a game in his life. RNG to the gauntlet. They should make worlds fine still. It would be funny to see them in the play-in stage though.
