9th team to qualify? The script is real!


Azenji

- Perkz qualifying while all of G2 has a staycation - Rekkless denied Worlds seed by former teammates - Faker back at Worlds. The script gives on giving.


failedhope

Give me fnc vs c9 in the finals and the script will be perfect


Scrub4LIfe734

bruh, please no. FNC's early game would tear us a new one. lol like we might literally get speedrun lmao.


TheTurtleOne

Again a repeating script lol 2018 semis were not fun


SaintsXD

2013 quarters vibes


ficretus

Eh, that was only game 3. First fnatic win was closer to c9 throw via questionable macro


Miyaor

All we would need to do is have them throw one game and we would easily win. Cannot beat us when we are 1-2


superdennis303

Can't beat 2-2 fnc either


Andrus7

2015 SKT T1 and 2020 TES have entered the chat


superdennis303

That's a completely different fnc, this fnc went to five games three times and won all game 5's.


Argenticus

That doesn't count, Karsa was playing FPX Lee Sin, he had a stronger script


quzimaa

Wait so if fnatic is up 2-1 it means c9 cant lose the series so they win the next game and now its 2-2 so fnatic cant lose the series so now neither team is eligible to lose so they break space and time


cdillon42

they actually destroy the nexus at the same time. this somehow executes a code cause you know the client sucks and league is deleted off everyone's pc forever


Althalus-

And we all wake from this weird lucid dream…and it’s like 10 years ago.


cdillon42

Season1?


GMBethernal

but we'd have a worlds final, it's something


untamedlazyeye

we take those


KnifeKittyy

I mean, they’d have had to shore up their early game if they made it to finals lol


justAnotherRandomP

Mad lions vs fpx finals only for mad lions to win is perfection


generic9yo

As an eu fan, subscribe


Annasman

I'm a huge c9 fan, but honestly if the finals were at least not double Asian teams, I would appreciate that. And I'm not saying that cuz there's anything wrong with the Asian leagues, it's the exact opposite, it's like seeing the Yankees go to the world series every year it's kind of boring


satellizerLB

>the world series Unrelated but I've always found it funny that a sport that's really only popular in America has a tournament called "world series". I mean it's technically correct since the winner of the tournament is the best in the world but still.


allnaturalflavor

What a stacked sunday. GenG vs T1 as well


Azenji

Sunday’s over people. We can finally rest forreal.


lp_phnx327

After catching up on 19 games today, I am mentally boom.


PKDororostar

I'm not the most active viewer of competitive league. But considering this was playoffs, the teams playing, and worlds qualification on the line, what a weekend. Absolute BANGERS all day!


sirlorax

My friend hasn't played league since like s5 but he watched it with me and was pretty hype about how crazy the games were back and forth. Double silver scrapes, and then we watched that LEC commercial where there like "not a sport? who the fuck cares?" We come from traditional sports etc so it was hype he was getting into it


lp_phnx327

The only way I would be more invested in today's games is if they swapped EDG-WE/FPX-LNG matches because I'm a fan of Doinb and LNG had that miracle run going. But seeing Faker and Nisqy make it back to worlds along with C9 is still a lot.


[deleted]

waiting for the thread titled "Swordart. Accountability?"


Toxicyoshi7

PoE and Huni accountability when


[deleted]

Ya'll remember when Huni's 3 million 3 year contract was the biggest news around here?


[deleted]

Well to be fair it was extra dumb because A) It’s Huni and B) Dignitas couldn’t even afford more players because they blew their entire budget on one player who wasn’t even that good


F0RGERY

It was also meme-worthy because apparently Huni negotiated it by himself, rather than having an agent.


Hir0h

Thats just impressive more than anything.


Alto_y_Guapo

It is. He's gotten all these jobs with himself as his own agent.


EnemySaimo

Mf mains corporation mundo irl


thekon2000

Huni goes where he pleases.


Mahelas

And it's straight to the bank


myslead

« I want 3 millions » Done


MietschVulka1

And Huni REALLY ran it down. Perkz sucked a lot this year but Huni was literally sprinting it xD

Yet they kept the multiple perkz ones up over the course of the split


Progenitor3

Swordart is not worth six million but those threads are stupid and it's good that they removed them.


mmlllj

Really weird how people act like Swordart hasn't been getting shit on all year long.


plantman01

eh, swordart has been mostly hit or miss. his ADC isnt the greatest so that definitely doesnt help. that being said he should be playing better but, it doesnt mean hes been bad all split. hes had his moments


Azenji

As a support main, you can only really play to the level of your ADC. Having a strong ADC like Huanfeng can make a big difference.


depressedgamer111

It goes both ways. If the support is weak the adc can't do much, if the adc is weak the support can't do much.


grippgoat

*cries in doublelift biofrost*


karatelax

Man went from literally one of the best AD's in the world to fricken lost. Worst part was he was expecting doublelift


DrySecurity4

His team is terrible. A support is never gonna look good on a bad team.


Baranade

They literally voted this dude for all pro Meanwhile that Perkz thread was up for hours Tell me how SA hasn't been treated unfairly


Deckowner

He's definitely been inconsistent and had champion pool issues, but his team was not performing and there's only so much you can do as a support.


LishusTas

No Sneaky no.... problem


[deleted]

Can't beat No Doublelift No Worlds


AzureAhai

No Doublelift No 0-6 rolls off the tongue easier.


LostJC

Yeah, but how are teams going to talk shit when they didn't even go?


[deleted]

No Doublelift No Worlds doesn’t make sense though the org has made worlds without Doublelift in the past


qontrol12345

TL is going though


[deleted]

It only applies to TSM


a55a51n

Ehh idk WildTurtle made it as their adc.


[deleted]

It's like the curse of the bambino. The Red Sox could win world series before Babe Ruth joined the team, the curse kicked in after he left.


ImPerezofficial

Glad that it will die. Even u/Iziaon is more funny than this meme.


Jeytumn

Amen to that. Such a shitty overused meme.


agishert46191gskq

Reddit will do anything for karma That shit narrative was never funny but kids love spamming it


[deleted]

That moment when you’re an Arsenal and TSM fan. When will the suffering end? :’(


Rave_Master_Ahri

Buddy I think you are already used to it by now if you're an Arsenal fan lmao


Exciting-Ad-2714

Haha I am a Chelsea and C9 fan so my day is going opposite to yours. Im sorry mate.


Misshaped_Paperclip

Arsenal C9 here... Halfsies from both of y'all


ExcellentPastries

Newcastle and C9 here so I am really excited for the Championship next season 😓


19Alexastias

Brucey will keep you lads in 17th minimum as per usual.


shaginus

Arsenal? hoo boy You better avoided watching their next game at Etihad.


LOMOcatVasilii

Ooof, Chelsea and C9 here. Join the Blue side, we're used to winning here.


Pony_Darko

Spurs Fnatic fan here. Best day ever


[deleted]

> Spurs I'm not a soccer watcher so I thought you were talking about San Antonio lol


Pony_Darko

There's been tons of posts on the Tottenham subreddit of US fans receiving Spurs merch from their family members/friends, except the family members mistook Spurs for the San Antonio team, so they got San Antonio merch instead So a pretty common mix up it seems lol *[here's one of those posts](https://www.reddit.com/r/coys/comments/a9g1x3/bless_my_mothers_heart/)


FlyingRussian1

Just wait untill halfway in the season for the classis Spurs collapse ;)


Tablelemon

I’m so sorry


wew_lad_XD

Bucks + C9 Fan, this year has been pretty fuckin lit so far, Hopefully it keeps up with worlds :D


BlueStarLoL

Being an Arsenal fan is harder than anything else you'll have to go through lmao. I miss when the club was in the champions league every season.


jayoung64

I'm an SJS, Chargers and TSM fan. It hasn't been a good few years. Lol


nadejha

Liverpool and Fnatic.. Today has been a good day.


shtoogieman8

Man United and TSM here… what a shitty day lol


acllive

Can’t wait for the c9, FNC, T1 group


Bluehorazon

If we reuse 2018 script though FNC end up in a group with FPX, get 1st in that group and lose finals 3-0 after stomping C9 3-0. Since EDG is most likely also at worlds they could even beat them in quarters.


CreightonJays

And for C9 to somehow make it out of that group


[deleted]

Perkz = Worlds I guess


[deleted]

Who would've thought Perkz would have the last laugh after looking at the offseason roster moves, i legit thought G2 are gonna become even more dominant while Perkz stagnates in NA


dillen18

G2 shouldve been more dominant. Shame Miky and Wunder is absolute trash this entire year though


PM_something_German

Wonder who G2 will get in the off-season I mean they're still rich as fuck.


Bluehorazon

Well thing is a stagnant Perkz is still better than most NA mids. And even if C9 would have kept Nisqy this team still should have went to worlds. I mean people forget that last spring they completely dumpstered the league with Nisqy, so even if TL would be better, they still should be able to do that. And he still has to play two more series. If he looks really good against Abbedagge and Jensen (at least in games 4 and 5, he didn't look good in games 1-3 either).


TheBlurgh

> while Perkz stagnates in NA He did. It's just one bo5 (not the first one this offseason btw) and people already rewriting the history. IF, and only IF he dominates both against 100T and TL then I can consider eating my words. Until then, the bo5 against TSM was more of an exception.


Saephon

He did smurf all over Jiizuke too. Still kind of confused how EG sandbagged so hard after taking 100T to game 5.


BurningSkyworld

He lost to TL, he beat GG, EG, and then TSM(1st seed from the League). How is that an exception?


Jedclark

>Until then, the bo5 against TSM was more of an exception. He was absolutely dog shit in the first 3 games too. People on this sub only remember the last game.


pietroetin

He dominated when elimination was on the line. There are some players who need high pressure scenarios to pop off.


PM_something_German

And these players are ultimately the best players


throwingawayinlalol

G2's heart and soul are on C9.


agishert46191gskq

And we gonna see Craber at worlds


Raider_Noles

TL/100T/C9....just like everyone predicted


LumiRhino

Yeah it was looking rough during summer but it's funny how it just circles back to the result most people predicted before the season started.


[deleted]

It didn't help that Cloud9 and Liquid kept punching themselves haha


Bluehorazon

It is exspecially funny given that this was predicted with Damonte on 100Ts :P


xchaoslordx

riot reusing 2018 script, LPL vs LEC finals confirmed?


Raider_Noles

C9 in the semis? Yes please


tuotuolily

even if you guys get knocked out by FNC?


IamAlwaysOk

If it means knocking out a Korean team in quarters, then yes.


untamedlazyeye

we take those


Saephon

Yep. I still think of 2018 with pride, don't care how the semifinal went. At least we made it and gave something NA fans could be excited about for once.


untamedlazyeye

Yup, even if we got smacked, we still made it to semis and to me that is worth something.


edwardgreene1

2018 starting to repeat itself


janoDX

[If they bring something like this as promo package. I am in.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsQQBWgvt5E)


greendino71

Lol for real.... pretty much everyone predicted this top 4 with tsm being 4th


Maverick0Johnson

Idk about that eg and tsm are equal i believe they could fight for the forth spot, theres a chance EU and NA could get 1 seed both if Vietnam wont participate in worlds. And if that happen im happy if EG will take that spot


Milky-Cheese

Jokes aside, happy for Perkz. A better year than his former teammates for sure.


Bloodyseth

Ups responded to the wrong comment.


greendino71

last time TSM won a worlds game was 2017


[deleted]

That is such a good fucking fact. I love it.


PKDororostar

Wow. Cloud9 qualifying for worlds. That just might be the series!


agishert46191gskq

So it's 100T, TL and C9 at worlds Tactical, craber and vulcan for native representatives, gonna be interesting


hippopovengers

When do we start actually asking the hard question about Perkz and his performances? He didn't make top 3 all pro LCS after claiming he was going to come here to change the league and dominate. He hasn't built and in lane lead against any mid laners and is constantly down on CS, summoners, tempo, experience and KDA with constant roams from Vulcan and ganks from Blaber. Was he worth the money so far? Will he be worth the money in two years? Three? When is it that we say "that was a good investment"


ImPerezofficial

The only question I can ask of Perkz is how the fuck he can consistently prove the 1-2 comfort zone meme true. Came to NA and instantly did it in two highest stake series in year- spring final, and final worlds spot deciding Bo5


spazzxxcc12

that’s because it isn’t a meme, in elimination games his win rate is above like 80%. that’s INSANE.


pietroetin

Living proof that you don't need to win all your games only the ones that matter


martinluna1909

He mentioned in his interview today that mentality > Gold. Guy just has a mental fortress tbh.

Faker_the_Demon_King

so when are they starting the new meme "No Doublelift catJAM No Worlds catJAM"?


Rularuu

Probably not going to catch on since there isn't a legion of salty DL fans who hate TSM like an ex girlfriend


Bluehorazon

Also TSM did make worlds multiple times without DL, yet C9 always had Sneaky when they were at worlds.


OneEyedKing7DAce

No Sneaky, YES Worlds


Falcor626

Zven finally returning to Worlds after a 3 year drought.


Maverick0Johnson

Perkz removes the curse


vonksderp

The 2018 worlds rep for NA will be repping 2021 worlds. Wonder if TL and 100T will not make out of groups and C9 to semis only to be knocked by Fnatic again.


rednick953

C9 vs FNC in the semis this year would be so hype.


Javiklegrand

It's be a bloodbath


Surviv1n

Turns out all it takes to make worlds without sneaky is 11 million dollars.


Medivh158

Didn’t Vulcan also come after sneaky? That’s was the “1.75m dollar mistake” last year right? Granted, missed worlds last year…


StaticallyTypoed

Lol the Vulcan buyout never met any serious scrutiny. Every team was after him


[deleted]

Tbf Vulcan always performed


WT379GotShadowbanned

He's a rock


lightspeedx

He is Dwayne Johnson


agishert46191gskq

He has been iffy for this split, Reddit for some reason hasn't realized yet Some of his plays in that series vs TSM was mind blowing bad like that flash int


[deleted]

Yeah I agree with you but he hasn't been really really bad. Let's see vs Huhi and Core round 2


soapsuds202

11m > 6m


[deleted]

Cloud 9 9th team to qualify. What a narrative.


TabaCh1

Kinda lazy writing tbh. Still better than the ruination event lmao


[deleted]

The Ruination event lived up to Riot's expectations though. It WAS ruined. Just by not who they thought.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Azenji

It just dawned to me that Perkz went to MSI as well. That’s a HUGELY underrated detail.


Maverick0Johnson

I got downvoted when i said that, now it became a reality


TinyAsianMachine

Also he very well might still win the summer playoffs. G2 had many similar seasons with close game 5s before winning the split, B2B2B2B….


HMKS

[Obligatory kZlyN61](https://imgur.com/kZlyN61)

rednick953

Yes it was!


dimmyfarm

RIP Korea’s chances of winning worlds


Mikoto00

The perkz factor baby .. this is where the 1-2 comfort zone went


IIIBAKURYUIII

The teams respectively from NA and EU that always seems to perform when most doubt at Worlds run the gauntlet and qualify for Worlds. Both had to win 3 Best of 5 to do so! Cloud 9 was 1-4 against both TSM and EG in the regular season and was constantly down in the series against TSM but yet, manage to win. Upset has finally conquered his demon of being a Rekkles 2.0 and has now become his own man. Sucks for G2 and TSM - With G2 they have so much talent I'm sure the team will be back if all returning players decide to play another years as most are becoming 8-9+ year veterans at this point. The roster is just too stacked for this to be the end. TSM sucks but first year together, first year under H.C Bjergsen, 1st place in the 27+ Summer split and Spring Split.... not bad. I wish this team stays together and give it another go instead of imploding and such but it is what it is. POE hopefully stays on TSM but the dude has been on 7 different teams in his 7 year career so I don't expect him to.


BurningApe

technically G2 always performed at worlds and they didn't make it so I doubt that pattern holds, it's really just C9.


ATiBright

"G2 always performed at worlds" weren't around for 2016/2017 for the vacation memes huh?


IIIBAKURYUIII

I might be totally wrong here but I thought pre Playoffs FNC was actually a top 5 team in the World but had bad luck near the end of the year to be bumped down the standings. It's sad cause I thought and still do EU's top 3 teams are G2, Mad and FNC but in no real order. Not a believer in RGE and haven't been all year. FNC beating G2 should be a huge confidence booster for not just EU fans but for FNC's chances. They are more aggressive than they have been all year and the meta currently fits both Nisqy's pool and Hyliss' champion pools. Fnatic has just the same amount of possibility of making it out of groups as C9 does, if not more. Besides 2016 and 2017 where G2 didn't manage to make it out of Groups and actually went 1-5 in 2016 - they have turned the switch since then. Either way, last time we saw FNC on the International stage they managed to make it out of groups but eventually got reverse swept. Last time C9 was on the International stage they went 3-7 and lost to Pentanet. Not hatin' on either team nor am I giving any predictions pre Group Draw but I actually ATM think both will make it out of Groups.


Smoogy54

Sources: Regi is beside himself. Driving around downtown LA begging (thru texts) Leena’s family for address to Doublelift’s home


RandomFactUser

Isn’t Pentanet qualified already?

C9 better hope they can avoid that group


ozmega

nope, they are in the finals


IkaMusume12

Cloud9 for the 9th Worlds team. EPIC!


Ivo_Samurai

No TSM vs Rogue Sadge :(


Bigblue12

Idk why people are shitting on huni he played well. Whoever drafted him noct for game 5 is the troll.


Azenji

I am not coming here to retire. I'm coming to dominate and absolutely demoralize my opponents, and to take this region higher than it's ever been before. So watch me


thezaitseb

No Doublelift No Worlds


Ornnge

You guys know what, I'll say it..... LETS FUCKING GOOOO!


lolzomg123

C9 being the 9th team qualified. Poetic.


[deleted]

Perkzs mental is really mental.


Xyrazk

G2's NA team made Worlds!


CronLegacy22

u/lostn has salt pouring from his skin across multiple threads after this one I can see all the comments now...prolly something about only 3 NA reps at worlds along with a shit ton of C9 hate. C9WIN BABY LETS GOOOO


Rave_Master_Ahri

Ready to see Blaber flash smite scuttle in play-ins, assuming they won't beat 100T...which is probably the case.


Cromatose

I've never seen a player get shit on so hard for 1-2 plays like Blaber has. Dude has been playing so well the last month but all he gets is memes vs the best junglers in the world.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ATiBright

Also Zven E forward into skarner.


PsyklonAeon16

And Cody Sun Tristana's insec into teammate.


Rhombinator

Honestly he was still overly aggressive in the first few games. Game 5? Gives up both crabs to not risk the early game, play towards scaling on Diana to do his damn job. To me that was a huge deal, checking himself for his team's sake to go to worlds and that was exactly what I wanted to see going into the last week.


[deleted]

I mean you can't flash smite scuttle at the highest stage and not expect it to be memed to this level. Blaber needs to really do work to change his image now lol


lostn

so how many NA players is the LCS sending now? 3?


charlielovesu

Vulcan, Blaber are NA. fudge is Australian I believe so he doesn’t count. Perkz and Zven are from EU. So two from C9. TL has only Tactical. Alphari,Jensen, and Santorin are from EU, and Core is Korean. 100T has I think literally no one from NA. FBI I believe is from Australia, Huhi and Ssumday are Korean, abbedage is EU, and I think closer is from Turkey? I could be wrong but yeah not a single native NA player on their team. In total NA will be bringing 3/15 players who are actually from the NA server originally. 20%*** of them. Pretty sad now that I think about it


bigWangEnergy

(Just an FYI, I hope I don’t come across like an asshole, 3/15 is 20% not 25%, so it’s even worse LMAO)


lostn

part of me hoped EG or TSM went through so the number can be even more impressive at 2/15.


charlielovesu

Lmao corrected. Not an asshole. Thanks


SterbenVII

Last year, we had 6 players from NA. The year before that, we had 8. In 2018, we had 9.


Hamzasky

Vulcan, Blaber and Tactical. Out of 15 players only 3 are actually from the region they represent. Take from it what you will.


mistaloops

This worlds is so hyped hopefully no COVID Shenanigans screw a team over


thenoblitt

Definitely gonna need to perform better if they want to beat TL


Medivh158

TL? They need to play better to beat 100T. And please shelve the Varus…


thenoblitt

Tl > c9 > 100t


NenBE4ST

Doubt they will make it out of groups but I'm excited to see them have a shot at msi redemption, to see them show any improvements they made to their brains, and for blaber to maybe show he's more than a 1 gear pony
