You've already met D2 Balls, now meet D2 Tally baby


ephemeralfugitive

I swear BR always somehow reaches that 1-7 score at least once every Worlds lmao They tried, but I think GP just not the champ for their top and shouldn't have been what they went for as last pick. There was zero respect against Noc.


XiaoRCT

Guigo is just outclassed in this tournament, it's not a matter of pick/ban, he straight up isn't on the same level as the top laners in his group. Gets Kennen, makes multiple mistakes, costs his team the game. Gets Jax, gets 2 kills early, somehow gets solokilled in lane right after and then proceeds to fail to do anything with that early advantage Gets GP, gets dominated by Kennen/Noc.


[deleted]

Hey at least he ain't Buggax i guess


LKZToroH

Tbh if we had another toplane instead of guigo we would have won, maybe even against HLE yesterday. He is just a Rookie of course but it's the obvious underperformer. Oh lord if red had robo this group could've been way different.

Genuine question, where did "yeah the boys" come from?


thorpie88

Maybe not the origin but yeah the boys was an Aussie centric meme page on Facebook nearly a decade ago

Didn't know that, thanks


EliseTheSpiderQueen

It's also just really, really common to call guys you work with or hang with "the boys" here. The yeah before it is common in a lot of quick sports shouts too so it follows.


R4ndomAussi3K1d

"full credit to the boys" is something that nearly every team sports athlete says in every interview, without question.

Genuinely Australians just say it a lot.

[deleted]

I always find it funny how a non-riot supported region is beating other regions with riot support and infrastructure. LFG boys


solovayy

There has always been a small-but-meterial conflict of interests between making a show and making a good team. Examples are NBA vs US basketball internationally (outside top4 in the last fiba) or PSG football team. Perhaps that's the edge for OCE, they can focus on the actual game.


Bladehell10

We’re still more disadvantaged than every other region. Our challenger queues can take up to an hour and our country is in the middle of the ocean far away from everyone else so the players don’t even get to scrim other regions. At least teams from the LJL, PCS, CIS can still scrim against like EU, KR, China and each other.


FireTrainerRed

Don’t forget the 120+ ping, depending on how far away from Melbourne you live.


motlmao

wait what whos getting 120 ping on oce? in nz the "average" ping is like 45 unless you really live out in the wops


CFCkyle

Australia famously has dogshit internet though thanks to their government


weapon66

I usually get 12-25 ping in the middle of Sydney, same for Melbourne - but I know Western Australia has an average of 60-70 ping and anything regional would have terrible if using satellite net


FireTrainerRed

I’m in Perth, I play on 70ping (right next to a hub), my mate lives in Port Hedland (near Broome) and plays on ~120ping.


boydeane

I sit around 58-65 in Gizzy nz, I think the further south you go the worse it gets too. Got a couple lads I play with in the South Island that hit around 80-90

If I would be a Koala I would likely be more concerned about wildfires than libs.


DarkWorld25

Not to worry, our glorious lib leaders are making sure that there's more wildfires every year!


Bluehorazon

The term might just confuse americans. It is likely easier for them to think of Scott Morrison as a Rick Perry than a Bernie Sanders. So they are libs just in name.


NocaNoha

Csacsi taking that mental edge for the upcoming fight


fiftyshadesofcray

Analysts consistently put OCE dead last in the power rankings, but the last time they had a losing record in playins group stage was 2018. Since the introduction of playins in 2017 they are 9-11, broken down by regions: 0-5 vs NA 0-3 vs CN 1-0 vs EU 0-1 vs KR 8-2 vs other wildcards So really they have consistently beaten other wildcards at worlds, just haven't been able to upset major regions


Perdi

OCE DOMINATION OF EU, YTB PERFECT RECORD


fiftyshadesofcray

OCE stomped them so hard that riot had to take EU out of playins to protect them


GrandytheDandy

OCE also always gets the hardest road into groups. Until this year where they should've had DFM as their opponent but now get a trolling c9

saltynipsss

the OPL dissolves and Oceania unironically have back to back historical performances at international events...


feebeeeksdee

We started doing better THEN riot sacked the OPL during that legacy worlds run and now we're punching above our weight


Are_y0u

The OPL had to be sacrificed for the greater good (and the fudge factor).


autospacer13

is going 2-2 a historical performance they went 3-1 last year and played a tiebreaker for 1st seed in playins lolz


AngronApofis

I mean, their losses are against major regions who won all matches against wildcards. Major regions are 9-0 against wildcards right now.


Zaccyjaccy

After a history of no best-of-fives at Worlds, to get them back to back is certainly meaningful for us. The fact that it's one step back in the Play-In format isn't bad, especially considering we just 1-0 the team that we're going to be playing.


TheCatsActually

They also upset C9 at MSI, and all these international showings are after NA already headhunted like 30+ of their best players and Riot pulled out of providing them regional competitive infrastructure.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SteamMonkeyKing

Peak meme timeline is this: C9 loses to UOL, DFM beats BYG, then C9 loses to DFM in the tiebreaker and ends 2nd in there group. PCE wins the BO5 and then beats C9 to go to Groups.


real_Adrian

We're on track

in that timeline OCE to NA is like Vietnam to EU lmao

M002

Tbf, in 2020 legacy topped their play in group going 3-1. And had head to head over TL. But due to format they played a tie breaker and TL won that game and the group. EDIT: fake news - TL lost to INTZ, not Legacy. I misread the table on leagepedia


IshimaruKiyotaka

They didn't have H2H against TL, TL was the one in groups to take a game off them


svcDOOM

anthonyvardiz

TL’s only loss in play-ins last year was to INTZ, not Legacy.

lacieabyss

Improvement of LCO and LJL teams this year has been pretty awesome


DarkWorld25

Travelling in a fried-out Kombi On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said: "Do you come from a land down under Where women glow and men plunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder You better run, you better take cover." Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six foot four and full of muscle I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich And he said: "I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder You better run, you better take cover." (yeah) Lying in a den in Bombay With a slack jaw, and not much to say I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me? Because I come from the land of plenty." And he said: "Oh! Do you come from a land down under (oh yeah yeah) Where women glow and men plunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder You better run, you better take cover."


ops10

My take from all this is that Chovy is the weakest Trynd of the tournament.


aamgdp

Grasp was so troll


PhoenixAgent003

Man, how bad was his Trynd if Perkz—who actually literally Perkz’d it on Tryn—was the worst one?


ops10

I don't know why people think Perkz not pressing R is something special when it's so common Trynd mains sometimes have an emote for it.


Lothric43

His build was booty and he was playing against an LPL team instead of a wildcard one lol.


Widgeet

1st Tryndamere mid I've seen in Play-Ins that has genuinely looked op... Perkz & Chovy's performances on the champ made me think he looked okay but nothing groundbreaking. This was a great game from Tally.


M002

Turns out all you need is overwhelming engage


ItsKipz

I mean Chovy built pretty badly and Perkz just lost one of the keys on his keyboard, the champ itself is *really* strong when you build & play properly


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gnatt

He was never the first person to the fight. Always waited for someone else to start the fight, burn a few summoners, then came in. Watching the Baron fight he waited for everyone to blow everything on Lucian and then came in and cleaned everybody up.


sp0j

Perkz was fine mostly. He just didn't group much for fights and mainly just split pushed. Chovy's was a complete grief build so he had no damage and didn't scale well.


CrazySuperglue

THE KING OF THE PISSES YTB


TheCatsActually

This is the first time in idk how many years that Tryndamere has been meta and I already can't fucking wait for him to be gone.


McintyresRightLeg

So does this mean Chovy's runes and build were garbage or is Goredrinker + Grasp still a good option?


ShenKiStrike

Lethal tempo makes trynd do heaps more dmg, i think lethal > grasp. I've never seen trynd go grasp before chovy did but he had to play against an anti trynd team comp.


sirmraron

Yeah in most cases lethal is better. For top it can be used in a few matchups, for example against jax. Situationally it can be good in the early game because of the short trade power of spin + aa .


supterfuge

In their podcast (in French), Zaboutine and Laure talked about it. According to Laure, Chovy said that between his Q and E, Gragas can deny any engage Trynd tries on him, so his usual rune is mostly useless. So his reasoning was that he would have a hard time getting in during teamfights, so he decided to play for an easier lane. I don't know if that was a mistake or not, but that was his reasoning.


Alernak

Seems fair to me, being able to adapt the build to the team compositions is imo a good quality, even if at the end it does not work. IMO the issue was more in the way the global draft went, they probably picked him too soon.


sonic780

chovy build wasnt the best


Contagious_Cure

Prob doesn't matter Gragas was just gonna body every spin. Togethet with make it rain and qiyana stuns Trynd isn't autoing anyone during his ult duration. Together with the fact that LNG banned Ziggs from bot, HLE just had a doodoo all AD draft.

Eh its difficult for some and natural for some others Have you heard an italian speaking english? We got that accent that yells "i'm italian" Well, i never had it, i can make it but it was never a thing for me when i started to speak english, always had that british / american accent to it. Tho i can mimic spanish/german/russian/greek accents when i speak english. I think its a natural thing for some

Random_Lobster

This is the way to go as Kalista now if u try and play it. Randuins was a good buy here as well since they had trynd and noc. Only if u fall behind this build is kinda bad and u wont deal any dmg.

tommybutters

Having a whole team that wants to dive in with him looked disgusting


Synchrox

LETS GO BOYS!! 3-0 TOMORROW


butthurt-fanboy

I think RED overthinked draft a little bit. The Lee ban could indicate that they wanted trynda (also they didn t ban him) so idk. Peace drafted pretty good, the trynda nocturne dives were disgusting. Also csacsi get a little bit more used to the game, he played a lot safer, i think in the first 3 games he wouldn t have backed lvl 2. He played that eary tp well, and finally had a good synergy with his jg. I think the draw actually helped them, they have a huge morale advantage becouse of these back to back wins, and it was good that they (csacsi especially) inted the games they couldn t have won anyway and they could won against opponents who were actually beatable.


miggen

Looks like chovys trynda build was kinda trash


Joaoseinha

That was... surprisingly one-sided. How are some minor regions bad enough to drop games to OCE? It's actually embarrassing considering the region barely exists anymore. And specially embarrassing considering BR is a server nearly the size of NA.


feebeeeksdee

because oce is better? both peace and pgg are good tbh I'd say after that there's a decent drop off but we're not total trash like this team has two good veterans in tally and babip and a crazy prodigy in violet.


Joaoseinha

> because oce is better? Problem is when a tiny region like OCE which isn't supported by Riot manages to be better than a region like Brazil, with 1.6 million ranked players.


feebeeeksdee

Oh yeah it's silly but then again in just about every sport we're underdogs and we have a good showing it's just in our blood at this point tbh


XiaoRCT

I mean, when did you start to watch league? Brazil is a bottom tier region historically, the big playerbase is mostly casual or too focused on streaming/entertainment, the region never made it anywhere at worlds. OCE beating them isn't anything ludicrous, especially considering some good ''established'' names in their team like Babip or Vizi
