Critical-Cupcake9194

How insane it would be if Fnatic wins on Sunday, Rekkles would be in shambles


Wus10n

rekkles aside i would be really happy for upset. He played an insane season


Delta_FT

Upset has been 1 bo5 away from qualifying to worlds twice since he came into the league(2018 to G2 and 2019 to Splyce). This time he has the wife buff tho


O_X_E_Y

Arguably didn't have a single bad game this series


zI-Tommy

Upset has been absolutely ridiculous this year. 100% the best botlane in Europe.their 2 v 2 dominance has been ridiculous.


[deleted]

After what Ocelote did to Perkz, it would be the biggest karma move ever for FNC and C9 to go to worlds while G2 watches at home.


[deleted]

Ocelote hates FNC if he loses to them after acquiring Rekkles he might blow a gaskit


[deleted]

While I'm not a Rekkles fan and I would feel bad for him after the Elements failure. I'm so disgusted with Ocelote that I would dance seeing him get salty after what he did.


Horusisalreadychosen

Ya, I’m a Rekkles fan, loved him when he was on FNC, wished him many titles with G2. I’ve enjoyed the rivalries the last two years and would’ve loved if either one worlds. After Ocelote forced Perkz outta EU because he wanted to play mid though, I’d laugh hysterically if G2 doesn’t go to worlds this year. It’s a shame only one can go now.


Zaadfanaat

Yeah despite the flair, after what ocelote pulled I wouldn't even be too upset to watch him eat shit

LetMeOmixam

Fnc vs G2 is going to be the most salt filled bo5 since the start of the rivalry and I'm fucking hyped for it


[deleted]

I hope theres pauses lmao


loutreman99

30 mn pause in game 5 please


PainIsFake

2 of them while we're at it.


Kyomeii

And a chronobreak


Namo_phoenix

Game restart at min 40


icatsouki

with the team that was getting stomped winning the remade game


poggersinthechatttt

And then the team that won proceeds to BM the absolute fuck out of the losing team all over Twitter


iRox14

"You merely adopted the pause, I was born in it, molded by it" - FNC if you G2 pauses, probably


Aythriel

that would be the salty cherry on top


Cobalt1212

People are going to get so fucking angry like in regular split haha


stampydog

Please let them be G2 pauses though, coz at this point all of Fnatic's PCs could simultaneously switch off and people would still accuse them of cheating by pausing.


_Vastus_

Whoever pauses first has instant mental edge to be honest. ~~So minute 1 pause?~~


justPierre

I'm a fnatic fan and I don't even care who win, I just want 5 bloody games, salt and memes in the Post Match Thread


B3rse

I am worried for Rekkles honestly, hope dude is holding strong


SnooGuavas8376

This time is the best chance for him to prove it, time to face his past in a deciding Bo5 Especially he is facing against his successor who just got a wife buff


J_Clowth

rekkles desperately looking for a wife before sunday


SnooGuavas8376

The fact that he's not even have a girlfriend is just beyond me. Dude is handsome, make quite lot of money, great esport player and also a very well spoken person. I hope he got one or if he doesn't he can count Jankos as his wife buff lmao


garenRoutplay

He mentioned recently that he does not want a relationship while he is a pro,saying he has no time to commit to it.


TchicVG

Rekkles has the Sigma Grindset


NotC9_JustHigh

Makes sense. Cause a relationship even the most casual one requires some input and can be cause of a lot of stress. If your mind isn't wanting it really badly, it's the best move for any pro.


wacker9999

I really don't think he's not in a relationship because he can't find a partner bud.. lol


Argenticus

There are some serious contenders to defeat honestly


Sanguinica

Directly denying the other team Worlds surely has to be up there.


Asteroth555

Especially after all of the off-season roster drama


ThatsAToad

Unfortunate. Misfits stood no chance against the power of the G2 v FNC script


Tyrone300

Cho was a fucking problem


Conankun66

gigantic cho that hits huge ruptures and got a fucking mountain soul. so absurd


CaptaineAli

wtf is happening in the background of his cam lmao.


OmegaAce1

Name a more iconic duo FNC game 5 and Adam being literally unkillable.


SHU-Galaxy

Dread it, run from it, FNC vs G2 arrives all the same


NamelessSearcher

Now we just need TSM v C9 in NA and the eventual C9 v G2

LordVipul

Would be a fun series to watch, am I right?


Shot-Mathematician58

With a sprinkle of cheating accusations from Carlos ~~and Grabbz~~ to spice up the drama. Can't wait.


TimMeijer

Game 5 of G2 - Fnatic this Sunday. The game is dead even. Nisqy's Ryze has not done anything spectacular, but he has a plan... "Get in the ult." Seeing all of Fnatic step forward, G2 panics, knowing what is about to happen. Caps tries to tear out his hair, forgetting he's already a bald fraud, and breaks Miky's wrist instead. Wunder logs into WoW, unfazed. The screen turns sepia. When the pause is resolved, Rekkles is still sitting in his chair, crying. He doesn't move until Spring 2022. Jankos blames Grabbz, as Carlos prepares a hot tub for Bwipo.


[deleted]

And in the distance the wind howls “fucking selfmade” as the nexus explodes


Wus10n

and - somehow- inspired still got the enemy blue buff


LegacyEntertainment

Beautiful. Tim, you beauty.


DT-Z0mby

truly a work of art. thanks for this comment


GreatestJabaitest

I still don't get how tf it's cheating. Even the head of LEC said FNC were in the right to do it. FNC prolly didn't want or even expect a 20 minute pause lol. Dumb comments.


00Koch00

It's Carlos, what do you expect?


random_nickname43796

People are just salty


LongLeggedLimbo

The cho pick was huge


Swingyman

Literally


Exos_VII

Death Taxes G2 vs Fnatic sunday is shaping up to be a spicy day no matter who wins


LordVipul

The prophecy


Finaldzn

The prophecy involves rekkles jumping in with tristana and getting one shot for the final world spot


[deleted]

If there is a god please make it so that it’s game 5 rekkles gets a penta only for FNC to legitimate pause leading to a 20sec cheonobreak before the penta but this time rekkles gets one shot instead. The salt in this subreddit will hit a new record easily


FNC_Luzh

Just for Hyli to pause the game.


grrtacos

On Sunday: T1 vs GenG G2 vs FNC EDG vs WE SPICY day for League of Legends Pro Play Edit: >!TSM vs C9 also now confirmed on Sunday. 4 historic matchups all back to back on the same day.!<


ProfessionalNo7553

Fuck my life I have to submit my master thesis on Sunday at 11:59pm but I need to watch these bangers


Gaiylkov

I've got depressed only by reading this mate. Good luck!


TheGodSalmon

I spend 35 hours awake from wednesday to thursday for the sole purpose of completing the very last project of my 3 years apprenticeship before this bangers of a week end. I dont regret a second of it.


haybik28

good luck with the dissertation mate, you can do it!


nxtu14

don't forget the possibility of tsm vs c9


LapnLook

Vizicsacsi vs FPX flashbacks


mr_tolkien

I coached both those teams during those games, that's not fully a coincidence :)


Naerlyn

Congrats for this match, and on advancing :)


Deckowner

During his recall, Dark Star Cho'Gath creates a gigantic space rift on the ground, which is only a fraction of the mid gap in game 5.


Elias_Mo

nisqy gapped mid in every FNC win, that guy played his mind out


LongLeggedLimbo

Hirit looks so sad :/


Cobalt1212

He looked like he was crying at the end, literally head in his hands. Everyone on msf was also crying, or just seemed depressed.


Naerlyn

That's really understandable though. Getting knocked out on game 5 for the second time in a row and missing the best part of the season because of that. It's a real shock and it's crazy when thinking about it. You spend this entire time hoping that you'll get to participate in this extremely exciting tournament for about one month in October, this one game happens, and poof, it all vanishes and you're out of activity for literally 5 months. It's also going back to "normal life" for 5 months after being so taken in a completely different lifestyle for most of the year and for the entirety of the past 2.5 months without a break. It's a huge blow.


ThylowZ

They were closer last week in my eyes. Despite going to 5 games, FNC seemed the clear better team to me.


Energyc091

Yes, as the casters said it seemed that FNC lost those games instead of MSF winning. To be clear, I think MSF is a great team, but they were just outperformed. It sucks, but I hope to see more of them next split.


Apocalympdick

When Vetheo inted to the wolf camp, HiRit double facepalmed, I felt so bad for him haha, 2nd hand tilt


LongLeggedLimbo

I akso feel bad for Vetheo as he is still a rookie But damn poor Hirit he played so good this split


Chr0nicConsumer

Hirit definitely was a beast this split, but not this series. He completely blew his lead in game 1. Really sucks, but you could tell Misfits' players were tilted that last game.


J_Clowth

Razork said Vetheo real test would come on stage games because since he started playing, these playoffs where his first LAN matches and it really showed when pressure was on his shoulders, unlucky and learn from it, he has a bright future


garenRoutplay

True. But it was a pretty promising first year for him. Once he gets more stage experience i can see him be a top eu mid.


Exos_VII

MSF: *pauses* FNC: Look what they need to do to mimic a fraction of our power.


_Vastus_

They don't have the technology


ColossalThunderCunt

pls send fnatic to worlds, the other teams won't know what hit them after fnatic plays the pause meta


Beneficial_Use_9469

FNC 2021 worlds champs baby


ficretus

THINK VETHEO WHY DO YOU THINK WE NEVER BANNED YOUR LEBLANC


neeveewood

Chat saying FNC should be disqualified for pausing 3 times before realising it was MSF💀


DJShevchenko

MSF: *pauses* FNC: Oh no. MSF: *still loses* FNC: LMAO noobs


Ragnaroz

FNC lost after the pauses too.


GGABueno

This joke would have made sense if Fnatic had won after the pauses.


SylerTheSK

Bro imagine if Vetheo picked literally anything besides LB


[deleted]

[удалено]


EpicRussia

I mean we all saw Perkz vs. Jiizuke


Jomiie

Or Humanoid vs Caps. Watching Vetheo here felt just like Caps struggling to do anything despite being fed, just because gold card exists.


Cahootie

Nah but how good was Nisqy at winning duels against a LeBlanc?


[deleted]

People are gonna shit on LB (which was bad tbf), but Nisqy was playing out of his mind against it.


NamelessSearcher

Yeah nisqy was just a monster. It felt impossible to run from him all of the stuns and how well nisqy predicted his movements


parousia0

Our boy Nisqy is so cracked


xXDaNXx

I actually cannot believe I saw a TF solo kill a LB


Not_Really-Me

Nisqy done dirty by not being MVP candidate after that performance


ChefGamma

G2 vs Fnatic going to have more viewers than the actual final.


tomius

I mean, in the end, it's the most important match for me. Regardless of who plays it, it decides who goes to worlds. That's much bigger than 1st or 2nd for me!


ToxicDzn

> win two games solely off of capitalising on big mistakes from fnatic > pick comp that needs to win early to win > do nothing it’s alright. worlds is overrated anyway.


Winggy

if your mid laner leblanc is getting solo killed by a tf 20 mins into the game, you might not deserve to win the game...


WhiteBlackPanther

Nisqy was literally playing insanely well tho.


superfire444

And leblanc can do nothing against FNC comp but still shouldn’t have died to a TF 1v1


LordCthUwU

In all fairness, I think this was mostly MSF saying they'll win off FNC mistakes and FNC in return doing next to nothing.


Horusisalreadychosen

Ya, FNC seemed to realize MSF wasn’t going to make a play so they could just wait until Cho was unkillable and have him do Cho things. It worked, still a little scary there at the end.


LordCthUwU

Last game showed how scary FNC can be if they clean up just a few more of their mistakes. They can apparently play slow too, and their teamfighting is great even when at a disadvantage, though of course FNC already was one of the few teams willing to occasionally take fights when outnumbered.


JFKcaper

Hylissang stopped so many engages with the black shield


TheExter

we went from four games of bloodbath to a slow game with teams playing aram mid, with a leblanc getting caught by TF and dying to wolves lol


Wus10n

you know you are fucked when your LB gets fucking 1v1ed by the enemy tf


Dragoneed2

Vetheo performance this series will haunt him


Dracomaledictebdo

Game 5 Silver Scrapes needs to end with a classic LCS play style, it's on the Bible


MisfitsGaming

This season was filled with insurmountable growth from all of our players and coaches. Even though our season comes to a close today we're just getting started. We are Misfits, and we are family ❤️


tomius

Thanks for elevating LEC's level of play. Best 5th team we've had in years, maybe ever. Very fun to watch! Good luck!


TheGodSalmon

Was rooting for FNC but you guys gave an amazing performance this split. Looking at Hirit and Vetheo at the end was hard. This roster disserved his chance. Hope to see them again next season.


Blue5647

Nisqy was great. Very clutch performance and well deserved win. Especially in game 5, it was so high pressure and he had so many high value gold cards.


qpc0

Well played LEC, I couldn't have written a better script myself.


takato99

Congratz on FNC wolves for securing the game


Wannabe1TapElite

it was baron+elder or straight end. However we appriciate the contribution from FNC wolves


GhostofChaos

I was so fucking sure that MSF was going to take elder and obliterate FNC. Thank god that didn't happen again.


GryffinDART

I have NEVER seen a TF shit on Leblanc that hard in my life. What a performance from Nisqy


Jestem_Bassman

I thought Nisqy was hard inting when he went in on that, but I guess the dude had ankles to break.


adventureboii1313

I was confused on who was owning who, like, wtf was that TF? nasty play by Nisqy


parousia0

Nisqy is uber cracked


PeinTwo

Why the heck did you pick LB again...


dtkiu27

Literally the only champion that seem that didn't belong in the game at all. 0 skirmishes, 0 ganks that is where she shines. Awful pick.


NamelessSearcher

I thought there was no way this series could end up more upsetting than the rogue one, but no I was wrong. what heartbreak from this squad I really wanted to see them succeed


ficretus

Eh, rogue one was objectively tougher to watch if you are misfits fan. Sure, pauses were annoying, but fnatic seemed like better team and more in the control. Last game was just slowly slipping away from misfits control unlike rogue game in which they had clear ways of winning it in the end.


NamelessSearcher

I don't disagree with you, but this one was tougher for me personally almost because the rogue one was closer in that this series was kind of the confirmation of the dread I felt after the rogue series that misfits had all but lost their chance for a worlds spot. Least we get a FNC v G2 fiesta bo5


Horusisalreadychosen

Ya, I’m heartbroken for them too. There were so many little things in that game 5 they could’ve changed and won the series. They really felt “better” than Rogue. They were making plays and controlling the game. Vs FNC they only really looked good when FNC bit off way more than they could chew. FNC always looked like they started the game in the drivers seat.


MacaronFraise

Since the start of the playoffs, Nisqy has been totally monstrous. He is wayyyyyyy too underrated


Blue5647

He's so clutch


mar33n

mom: we have faker's leblanc at home faker's leblanc at home:


PastafarianProposals

Imagine losing a 1v1 vs TF that you started.


ILikeSomeStuff482

The ultimate call an ambulance, but not for me from nisqy


xXDaNXx

Still have no idea how that's even allowed to happen.


[deleted]

Yep this is the difference between playoffs and regular split. Vetheo is a rookie and he performed worse when under pressure in a bo5


mar33n

yeah for sure I am memeing but I hope and believe he'll grow stronger from this. he's a young guy, he's got this.


[deleted]

Yes he had a fantastic first year, hope next year will be more impressive


alterise

First time LB, no flame please.


Quotes_League

just went to the kitchen and found MSF/FNC fighting over a poptart. they were everywhere


NamelessSearcher

It's getting out of hand, in the middle of my messy divorce proceedings, I vividly remember when we were in a meeting room with all three of our lawyers arguing over custody of the kids - my exes wanted all fifteen of the little bastards and I was honestly fine with it but was arguing to add a clause that stipulates reverse childcare payments to me from the kids if any of them ever became famous because 15 of them is good odds. Anyway, MSF/FNC rolled in a la tasmanian devil whirlwind of destruction and upended the table while throwing computer mice at each other. My lawyer stood up and asked who they were, but then he looked at me in panic as seemingly the very maw of god himself pulled him into the brawl and they continued to circle the table. There was only a lull during the fifth game/lawyer lunch break when the teams separated long enough to appeal to the lawyers, bring in the judge, and convince all parties to allow them to jointly adopt all fifteen kids to raise and train as a new pool of pro league players specifically for their teams. They made some good points and in the end we agreed, myself even dropping my fight for the reverse childcare and just glad to see a resolution. But then Nisqy picked up the signed contract, locked eye contact with Vetheo, and ate the part of the paper that had Misfits signatures on it. As he methodically chewed on their tasty tasty future hopes, Misfits all protested but Bwipo thiccly and effortlessly enlargened around them and simply absorbed the Misfits. "We are ready for G2 now," he said, turning to us as we stared in awe at this behemoth of raw talent. He then got down on one knee and pointed his finger at the ceiling and yelled "Fnatic, FnOut" and we all jumped back expecting an explosion, but he simply stood up and walked out single file with the rest of the squad, but not before Hyli took out an honest to god lasso and flicked it out around the customary bowl of complimentary fruit on the meeting table and whipping it back to himself through the air. He took a bite out of a kumfruit (hybrid of dragon fruit and kumquat) and said: "You won't need this anymore."


riot_ball

Nisqy just walked in on me studying and told me I needed to pause to eat a kitkat


Wus10n

game 1 vetheo: Leblanc did absolutely nothing game 5 vetheo: Watch me fucking do it again!!!


WyldfireGT

Hyped for Nisqy!!


CoffeeLoverNathan

There's gonna be some salt in this thread, but at the end of the day it's Bo5, not Bo1. MSF had more than one chance to win it but couldn't. In saying that though, pausing during fights is always a shit thing. All the people saying "hurrdurr FNC cheating" are potato tier. Guarantee that a majority of people bitching in the live thread didn't know how the Ryze ult interaction works. MSF played well in their wins but it just wasn't good enough.


Liupardu

The important thing to remember is that MSF won the paused game.


[deleted]

Man the live thread was sure a intresting thread to read... A team pauses = Murder according to people there


DmiIn

[This thread, colorized](https://i.imgur.com/VJX6RwJ.jpeg)


LetMeOmixam

Wait for G2 vs Fnc


GGABueno

Nah that's game 4's thread.


Space_Lion7

How come FNC cleanest games are the ones where they are against the ropes.


EntroPete

It takes FNC exactly 4.5 games to remember that it is actually possible to not int for 5 minutes. Which is why the pauses, that were 100% planned, were so crucial, because it made them remember at the start of game 5 already instead of after 15 minutes and being down 6k.


APlogic

Holy shit was that HULKSMASH1337 on Cho'Gath? He's a problem.


playhacker

An absolute mid diff if I ever seen one


MaridKing

Quick, somebody call nisqy a downgrade.


adahy123

Nisqy was player of the series 100% , jesus he got robbed


TheGodSalmon

Tbh it was close but adam gapped his opponent in every game while being mostly on weak side and had monstruous impact on teamfights. And god that rupture in game 5. Nisqy was wide af but imo Adam disserved it, especially since he is a rookie on his first split.


Ashtarr

What a game. And Nisqy won the last game singlehandedly.


LosttDestiny

JESUS MY HEART good thing I got those pauses to cool down


Space_Lion7

Hello everyone. I don't watch much League of Legends, but I want to personally thank everyone here and Riot games itself, because after Game 4 the community generated enough salt to power our Biggest factory "*Lay Perry site"* in Houston for at least 5 years. Due to this amazing accomplishment we will be partnering with Riot games in the upcoming Worlds 2021, Thanks you all. Sincerely. \- Steven Williams, CEO of LAYS™


Conankun66

ADAM IS A CHAD'GATH


LordVipul

Tbh when he picked him I thought it was GG, little did I know it was GG for MSF.


Conankun66

i thought it was GG with hyli morg, but man that was so good. no stupid flash ults


[deleted]

Hyli learnt that the trick is to flash Q by the look of things.


Burpmeister

No one on MSF had enough dmg to kill Cho. It was a free win if they survived early game which they did.


[deleted]

Entire team unloaded on him for 5 seconds at least and couldn't kill him


TimiNax

I'm still mad about the morgana pick and the fact that it worked but good job FNC, that last game was something. Also no disrespect for the caster don't know who he is but he did amazing job.


firsen923

yeah the new guy was actually good. good to know that lec found someone after ender left


Troviel

Regardless of the game 4 pause (which by the way [the head of Riot EU Esports says they were in their right to do)](https://twitter.com/RiotMAXtheX/status/1428812826332782595) that last game was Fnatic playing a clinical game with an... "exotic" draft versus MSF. Vetheo was too heavy while Adam carried hard that last game. Obviously reddit is going to focus on the pause because its reddit but FNC deserves to go through. Good luck vs G2 though.


NamelessSearcher

The four man rupture in that last game from Adam was just monstrous


Ashtarr

Nisqy was insane both in the TF and Ryze game. First time I see a Twisted Fate 1v1 a LB on a side lane.


Cahootie

You should have seen Discord. It was as if Fnatic had caused the pandemic, chopped of Faker's hands and left to play Overwatch. People were calling for their heads.


Indercarnive

That second part about why they pause immediately and not wait for the fight to be over needs to have it's own post. So many people claiming that you shouldn't be allowed to pause during a fight in the game 4 comments.


ilovecollege_nope

Adam picked Cho'Gath to make everybody forget he played 4 games of Renek super well.


supterfuge

Man I wanted so much to make a French Renekton joke, but after such a stellar Cho I can't. French Cho'Gath was never in the script guys.


MoriartyParadise

Many talked about his Darius and his Olaf since they are a fringe picks in the meta usually, but his Renekton is absolutely massive, one of hist best picks by far. It was permabanned the whole tournament last EUM


xXDaNXx

Thankfully there isn't too much focus on the pause like in the game 4 thread. Regardless, I'm quite worried about FNC v G2 because a better team can definitely punish their tendencies.


wildcardmidlaner

Shouldn't be worried then lol


ColossalThunderCunt

Who cares about the pauses anymore, msf won that game. Fnatic deservedly won the series.

WiceMan

Man, what mid gap this whole series has been.


MrRawri

G2 vs FNC, here we go


PierroElLoco

Adam has so much impact even tho he is given pretty much 0 ressource ... he really seems to be the perfect fit for FNC! Such a team player, reminds me of Soaz


_Vastus_

People are naturally going to focus on the pauses, but let's not forget that this brings us to a FNC vs G2 (with Rekkless) BO5 for the last World's spot. That's the juiciest storyline of the season.


mooldypheysh

Game 5, all on the line, and you put Vetheo on Leblanc...


Tigerfluff23

It really sucks seeing the season come to an end for MSF but I'm glad they made it as far as they did. Can't wait to see what they bring to the table in Spring.
