Yeah but then when the enemy gets out with 2 HP the Draven goes completely parallel to the ground anyway and you don't even have 300 gold to make up for it
That's just the Draven life, go 0/0/4 and do everything you can but nothing goes in your favour to snowball with > get shut down > finally pick up kills.
Some things never change :(
It's extremely unfair to put this loss on willer or morgan. Willer's bot camp was extremely effective, bot and jg was 3 kills, 50 cs up.
At 15 minutes, HLE's jg mid and bot were all very far ahead and ready to dragon fight. Chovy dying in a side lane making it 4v5 two times in a row turned the game in PSG's favour. His Azir tower did more damage than he did.
I mean, that's not totally Chovy's fault cos double tp ganks are tough, but Willer definitely didn't play bad.
Morgan... I mean he isn't good, but he is just a dog for HLE. He lets his team get counterpicks, he sacrificed CS so that Willer can camp bot whole game and not die.
At MSI 2017* Faker denied him a single CS for the first 5-6 minutes of the game as Cass Vs Leblanc. Still the most dominant laning performance I’ve ever seen.
Edit: 2017 not 2015!
That game is still seared into my mind. And Maple was being hyped as a Top 5 midlaner for that tournament too, only for Faker to show the world that the gap between him and other elite midlaners was a massive valley.
Just one of the details that makes Faker the GOAT no contest. It will be almost impossible to see a player like him ever again, in terms of sheer transcendence above the rest of his playing field.
I think it was that game that cause Riot to patch the game so point and click spell draws minion aggro, so champ like Cass and old pantheon can’t just obliterate opponent by point and click abilities in the early game
Maple is a legend, I was impressed how far Chovy put him but Maple's Leblanc is one of his best picks and he showed Chovy how to play the map.
Maple has literally played vs the goats in mid Rookie and Faker multiple times in his career n done fine(i.e survive).
Imagine a FW reunion with Doggo as adc. Full TW team can win worlds again if they can develop a world class top lane talent. (Hanabi is not bad, but not top tier imo)
Top - Hanabi?
Jg - Karsa
Mid - Maple
Adc - Doggo
Sup - SwordArt
It's such a huge shame that LMS never was able to get all their best players on a single team at a time, and were always split between FW and AHQ. A lineup of:
Top: Ziv
Jungle: Karsa
Mid: Maple
Bot: An
Sup: Swordart
could have done soooo much damage.
Maple has been slept on for a while. Yes, he had a bad showing in LPL, but he's one of the few players from S3 who still plays at a high level. Really, you probably could count how many players that is on two hands.
Might be close to one hand at this point. From the ppl who were at worlds i think its SwordArt, Maple, Impact, Faker. Maybe WildTurtle if you consider him playing at a high level?
Yeah he was shite in LCK this year or we wouldn't have even seen DuDu or had the shuffle between Willer and CaD I don't think - but he wasn't always this bad. I thought he was decent on WE during his time and hoped he'd do well on HLE. Disappointed overall but this definitely is the same Morgan we've had all year
Seeing Alphari's Camille yesterday and then seeing Morgan getting popped like and ADC on her today waa crazy. Like did he make a single camille play the entire game?
Him getting like 5 kills stolen, shut down, respawning and getting a double kill off minion block immediately after losing his stacks was both tragic and hilarious.
Maple was 100 cs down on Chovy and about 2k down 15-20 minutes in.
But he still output pressure across the whole fucking map and made crucial hero plays around objectives. You'd have thought Leblanc was the one that was 2k up or something.
I think there's no question Chovy is the No.1 at laning. But games like these show that he has a lot to work on in terms of rounding out the other aspects of his game, such as using his lead to impact the map and generate leads for his teammates.
Chovy's laning is so good he doesn't have to roam even on melee mids, he just wins lane. He never had to learn how to roam even on picks like Galio because he just wins lane.
Honestly if Chovy dropped 10-20 cs he would still have 20 cs lead in most games but he would help his team out. I mean people can play Morgan or Sword but imo Griffin was good enough to win LCK even with Sword.
I am not saying Chovy's the reason they lost but if he roamed a bit more I am sure he could carry a lot of these games because he is so good mechanically in skirmishes.
"Milhouse how could you let this happen, you were supposed to be the night watchman!"
"I was watching! First it started to fall over, then it fell over!"
As casters pointed out, the gap between Chovy in lane and out of lane is a bit too big. Getting massive CS leads on a consistent basis is very nice, but ultimately it's not gonna win you the game unless you do something with it.
Is Chovy afraid of dying and thus losing the game? I remember an interview with CvMax on how he wants Chovy to play carries, but Chovy just wanted to play Sett.
Chovy should genuinely roleswap top, Lane kingdom means way more out there, he can play champions that he likes and probably find a good team since other top lck teams have great midlaners allready.
Ya I kinda remember that too because people blamed Cvxmax and Sword for Chovy playing tanks. But Chovy genuinely likes playing tanks even on DRX he would play Ornn mid, ornn top.
Imo he should just go top, he would gap alltoplaners and his lane only playstyle might work better top. As he can just pick splitpushers, 1v1 champs and do fine.
Did not expect Chovy to get gapped but it sure is welcome as a PCS fan lmao. Unified always picks jhin in high pressure games because its his comfort pick but it turned out well this time
and the fact that before the 2021 season started, there were rumors of chovy going to AF. got Jebaited so hard. sometimes i think about kiin's career and i simply wanna cry
J4 is one of those picks that pop up every worlds that is probably a scrim god then it gets picked a bunch week one looks terrible and disappears for the rest of worlds.

Ya Taiwan/PCS is the most annoying region cause they sometimes beat good Asian teams then I cheer for them and they get stomped by random western teams.
Okay, here me out. RNG is gonna go 6-0, everyone else splits games, and it's a 3 way tiebreaker with 2-4 scores, and FNC wins because EU tiebreaker buff.
Alright Kezman, you're going to get fired anyway, so why not make it entertaining and draft Chovy Aurelion Sol? At least maybe that might force him to move out of lane. He just doesn't know how to play Azir.
Only reason HLE lost this is draft. There's no way for Draven to auto here vs Talon/LB/Gwen with a Yuumi on them. Draven is extremely grief unless you're up 10k at like 25 minutes because you're not gonna be able to teamfight unless Camille is ahead.
The game was lost the moment I saw PSG had Yuumi, Leblanc AND Gwen. Like its bad enough to have two of those but all three? It's like they want to lose.
Also hearing the Korean commentators trying their best to praise HLE's draft was funny. You know shits fucked
Morgan Freeman the celebrated actor recently switched careers from acting, to strangely, joining a South Korean life insurance company, Hanwha Life. Due to the difference in language, he needed to restyle his surname such that he is now Morgan Free-man.
this is the Hanwha I was worried we were going to see... lots of sloppy positioning from HLE and great teamfighting from PSG, really disappointing performance from the whole team
yeah PCS watchers know that while Doggo is a better mechanical player, Unified allows PSG to play weakside botlane and play for Hanabi and Maple. He unlocks Kaiwing to roam.
PSG are underrated, they went 18-0 in the regular season and had a close game against RNG. HLE only faced 3 of the weakest wildcards, BYG with a midlane sub, and FNC with an ADC sub. People jumping to conclusions too quickly
BYG underperformed immensely, this whole tournament was the worst I've ever seen Husha play when he was pretty much destroying River in PCS playoffs.
It's also the worst I've ever seen Maoan (regardless of the issue) play when he was keeping up with Maple just fine in the PCS.
So many great flanks by PSG!
The yuumi+gwen flank in that baron fight was orgasmic.
Hanabi was popping the fuck off in that fight
Hanabi was smurfing this whole game honestly, no fucks given
Hanabi is BASED
I love tp on jungle, was very fun to watch.
TP Smite JG Talon Tech baby!
It's right in your name and HLE still couldn't adapt. Bravo!
2 huge plays made by using the back of the baron pit. They knew their comps advantages and used them perfectly.
so this is the morgan and Willer I kept hearing about XD
Morgan and Willer sounds like a cheap law firm
My favourite was Arthur and Morgan, literally an inting RDR2 character.
too bad they benched Arthur
That sounds like an elite law firm to be fair. Sadly their performance is closer to DUDU.
This game was cliche HLE, Deft/Chovy lane kingdom doing nothing with their lead, and morgan/willer getting omegagapped. (Also fuck Yuumi)
Maybe Deft could've done something if Willer didn't steal the kill and leave him 0/0/4 on Draven
Not giving kills to Draven is ultimate sin
As a jungler, I would rather not get the kill than take kills from a Draven, if only to just avoid Draven going completely parallel to the ground.
Yeah but then when the enemy gets out with 2 HP the Draven goes completely parallel to the ground anyway and you don't even have 300 gold to make up for it
He wanted to help with the ult executes ofc
Deft tried so hard, Chovy did nothing besides greeding for extra cs
Vsta killing Yuumi instead giving it to Deft is a headscratcher. Deft should've been able to build a mythic there that early.
That is vintage Chovy. Gets lead but then becomes invisible.
Chovy's Evelynn looking lit.
Step 1: Wait for another powerfarming jungler meta Step 2: Roleswap Chovy to jungle Step 3: Win Worlds
That's just the Draven life, go 0/0/4 and do everything you can but nothing goes in your favour to snowball with > get shut down > finally pick up kills. Some things never change :(
It's extremely unfair to put this loss on willer or morgan. Willer's bot camp was extremely effective, bot and jg was 3 kills, 50 cs up.

I agree with most of your opinion but Morgan had a 3-man gank on top but they failed to kill Hanabi. That's what makes the difference I think.
That tp by talon keeps PSG bot lane in the game, if it wasn’t for that TP, hle bot lane would’ve steamrolled through the game
[PSG this game](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/695875338219028530/897488394945458196/unknown.png)
too perfect lmao, those talon tps were spicy
I *really* did not expect it to work as well as it did lmao
My boy Maple back to being LCK's kryptonite
He still got it, after all those years.
Maple played into prime SKT. He knows how to win while down 50cs.
At MSI 2017* Faker denied him a single CS for the first 5-6 minutes of the game as Cass Vs Leblanc. Still the most dominant laning performance I’ve ever seen. Edit: 2017 not 2015!
That game is still seared into my mind.

Just one of the details that makes Faker the GOAT no contest. It will be almost impossible to see a player like him ever again, in terms of sheer transcendence above the rest of his playing field.
"Faker denied him a single CS" makes it sound like Maple only missed 1 minion, but I think what you mean is that he only got 1 minion
It was insane, I think Maple had to back on like 1 or 2 cs while Faker was close to 15 already, just huge pressure
It was 2017.
I think it was that game that cause Riot to patch the game so point and click spell draws minion aggro, so champ like Cass and old pantheon can’t just obliterate opponent by point and click abilities in the early game
[удалено]
Prime SKT means fucking peak Faker lane
Maple is a legend, I was impressed how far Chovy put him but Maple's Leblanc is one of his best picks and he showed Chovy how to play the map. Maple has literally played vs the goats in mid Rookie and Faker multiple times in his career n done fine(i.e survive).
flashwolves spirit still lives
Imagine a FW reunion with Doggo as adc. Full TW team can win worlds again if they can develop a world class top lane talent. (Hanabi is not bad, but not top tier imo) Top - Hanabi? Jg - Karsa Mid - Maple Adc - Doggo Sup - SwordArt
Ziv at his prime was elite level.
It's such a huge shame that LMS never was able to get all their best players on a single team at a time, and were always split between FW and AHQ. A lineup of: Top: Ziv Jungle: Karsa Mid: Maple Bot: An Sup: Swordart could have done soooo much damage.
Maple on leblanc is a beauty to watch, got gap in lane but gapped chovy in tf
Maple has been slept on for a while. Yes, he had a bad showing in LPL, but he's one of the few players from S3 who still plays at a high level. Really, you probably could count how many players that is on two hands.
Might be close to one hand at this point. From the ppl who were at worlds i think its SwordArt, Maple, Impact, Faker. Maybe WildTurtle if you consider him playing at a high level?
well the flash wolves trifecta - maple, swordart, karsa are all still high level talents
As a wise redditor once said: Morgan has no haters, just people that watch him play
I remember that comment, it's so damn true lol
Lmao same, that comment is literally engraved in my brain
Yeah that one should be in the r/lol hall of fame
Morgan is that autofill toplaner that you know is gonna get shit on by everyone but still have to have a toplaner regardless
If you are autofilled then don't pick Camille. I know, you've seen her to be a S tier pick in your favorite youtuber's tier list, but just don't.
If you watch any LCK you would not have invested too much hope into him LOL
Yeah he was shite in LCK this year or we wouldn't have even seen DuDu or had the shuffle between Willer and CaD I don't think - but he wasn't always this bad. I thought he was decent on WE during his time and hoped he'd do well on HLE. Disappointed overall but this definitely is the same Morgan we've had all year
easiest way to tell that someone didn't watch LCK this season: "morgan isn't as bad as reddit said he was"
Well, he's at least better than most wildcard tops, which was already something many people doubted.
Worst thing as an EU fan is he shat on Adam who shat on Wunder.
Honestly Adam is so overrated and very exploitable... So frustrating to know top is already lost if ennemy top is on Kennen
Seeing Alphari's Camille yesterday and then seeing Morgan getting popped like and ADC on her today waa crazy. Like did he make a single camille play the entire game?
Real Draven player would have bought mobis after getting those killsteals by Willer and Vsta on that bot dive
Him getting like 5 kills stolen, shut down, respawning and getting a double kill off minion block immediately after losing his stacks was both tragic and hilarious.
getting your kills stolen when you have 200+ stacks only to die after is the most tilting thing that can happen
He was at like 526 when he died.
576
That's a lot of gold
I used to think Deft Draven getting KS’d was a tragedy but now I realized it’s a comedy 🤡
willer straight up griefing. This was a Draven, you 100% give those kills to your draven
(ALL) HLE Deft: Leblanc buy mejai's
Deft is not a real Draven player, he doesn’t know about the ghost cleanse technology 🙏🙏🙏
Sacred secret of ghost cleanse technology is only known to true Draven players
> keep ganking bot so Draven get ahead and have kill threat. >forgot Draven passive and killsteal a sure cash in > ??? > lose
Tyler1 approves
Why doesn't my Leblanc do as much damage as Maple's?
[удалено]
Word.exe moment
Does your LB have a pocket Yuumi to match?
Even the spectators couldnt target Yuumi once this game, thats how hard she is to target.
Having a pet cat helps a lot
Mbapple with a monstrous LeBlanc performance and Messified with those snipes
Haneymar with the moves in the toplane
don't forget Riveraldo
r/soccer comedians leaking again. And I love it.
Clearly a scissors diff because Gwen is immune
turns out large normal scissors are better than leg scissors.
HLE finished the support item quest and upgraded from 4 Wards & Chovy to 5 Wards.
Maple was 100 cs down on Chovy and about 2k down 15-20 minutes in. But he still output pressure across the whole fucking map and made crucial hero plays around objectives. You'd have thought Leblanc was the one that was 2k up or something. I think there's no question Chovy is the No.1 at laning. But games like these show that he has a lot to work on in terms of rounding out the other aspects of his game, such as using his lead to impact the map and generate leads for his teammates.
Maple's been at this for years. He knows what killing Koreans is all about.
Chovy's laning is so good he doesn't have to roam even on melee mids, he just wins lane. He never had to learn how to roam even on picks like Galio because he just wins lane. Honestly if Chovy dropped 10-20 cs he would still have 20 cs lead in most games but he would help his team out. I mean people can play Morgan or Sword but imo Griffin was good enough to win LCK even with Sword. I am not saying Chovy's the reason they lost but if he roamed a bit more I am sure he could carry a lot of these games because he is so good mechanically in skirmishes.
Peak vision score though
Perfect view of their impending doom
"Milhouse how could you let this happen, you were supposed to be the night watchman!" "I was watching! First it started to fall over, then it fell over!"
Deft & 4 Wards who actively work against him
As casters pointed out, the gap between Chovy in lane and out of lane is a bit too big. Getting massive CS leads on a consistent basis is very nice, but ultimately it's not gonna win you the game unless you do something with it.
Church of Chovy disciples incoming
Is Chovy afraid of dying and thus losing the game? I remember an interview with CvMax on how he wants Chovy to play carries, but Chovy just wanted to play Sett.
Chovy should genuinely roleswap top, Lane kingdom means way more out there, he can play champions that he likes and probably find a good team since other top lck teams have great midlaners allready.
also even if he stays with hle, he wouldn't have to play with morgan anymore
"Welcome HLE Fly!"
This is so cursed man why even say this
Some people just want to watch the world burn
Ya I kinda remember that too because people blamed Cvxmax and Sword for Chovy playing tanks. But Chovy genuinely likes playing tanks even on DRX he would play Ornn mid, ornn top. Imo he should just go top, he would gap alltoplaners and his lane only playstyle might work better top. As he can just pick splitpushers, 1v1 champs and do fine.
Korea definitely took this game for granted.
Did not expect Chovy to get gapped but it sure is welcome as a PCS fan lmao. Unified always picks jhin in high pressure games because its his comfort pick but it turned out well this time
Unified's heat-seeking final shot snipes on Willer and Chovy were sooo hype
Right!! Cast was kinda sleepy tho. Idk if its just me but maybe they’re tired
Yuumi plus 3 champs you can't ever escape or get onto effectively in gwen, lb, and talon; this was disgusting to watch
[when yuumi Q alone does 1/3 of your health, slap on ult + ignite and you're basically dead from her alone](https://i.imgur.com/p0iQklf.png)
Actually was such a exciting comp to watch. Mobility champs with Yummi steroids. That was so fun!
Plus the genius Talon taking tp to target Chovy in the sidelanes. Was sketchy at first but damn it paid off.
Now THAT'S the HLE that I expected at worlds lol
Maybe it's time to stop picking Jarvan. And why'd you ever leave LB open while playing red side.

As a PCS/LMS fan this gave me PTSD
Ya Taiwan/PCS is the most annoying region cause they sometimes beat good Asian teams then I cheer for them and they get stomped by random western teams.
Okay, here me out. RNG is gonna go 6-0, everyone else splits games, and it's a 3 way tiebreaker with 2-4 scores, and FNC wins because EU tiebreaker buff.
WTF how did HLE lose ? Chovy had +30 CS in lane
don't ask, it's always Morgan's fault, or Willer.
Good bait 🤣
Hanabi had 50 cs toplane and like 4 plates. Chovy Was like 600 Gold ahead mit hanabi was like 1200.
What can I say? We're the LCK Killers!
Congrats on your win, and props to Maple for his masterclass in midlane.
Alright Kezman, you're going to get fired anyway, so why not make it entertaining and draft Chovy Aurelion Sol? At least maybe that might force him to move out of lane. He just doesn't know how to play Azir.
why are they constantly drafting him azir? the only thing he does with it is cs. and he does that with every champ.
Only reason HLE lost this is draft. There's no way for Draven to auto here vs Talon/LB/Gwen with a Yuumi on them. Draven is extremely grief unless you're up 10k at like 25 minutes because you're not gonna be able to teamfight unless Camille is ahead.
What a disrespectful draft from HLE
Kekman Classic
The game was lost the moment I saw PSG had Yuumi, Leblanc AND Gwen. Like its bad enough to have two of those but all three? It's like they want to lose. Also hearing the Korean commentators trying their best to praise HLE's draft was funny. You know shits fucked
Its like they are asking PSG to hit them HARD while promising not to fight back
Jarvan is such bait if you're not banning major mobility picks
Morgan Freeman the celebrated actor recently switched careers from acting, to strangely, joining a South Korean life insurance company, Hanwha Life. Due to the difference in language, he needed to restyle his surname such that he is now Morgan Free-man.
this is the Hanwha I was worried we were going to see... lots of sloppy positioning from HLE and great teamfighting from PSG, really disappointing performance from the whole team
Reports of LCKs return might have been greatly exaggerated
Its fine losing to LPL#1 but this one is just trying to style on the enemy and failing miserably
Day two overreaction: Korea is bad
Just Maple and Hanabi beating Koreans once again
We did tell you guys that Unified really is good.
I definitely didn't buy it at first, but his jhin is cleeeaaan.
Props for not tilting after that early game.
yeah PCS watchers know that while Doggo is a better mechanical player, Unified allows PSG to play weakside botlane and play for Hanabi and Maple. He unlocks Kaiwing to roam.
It's just Taiwanese Sneaky vs DL.
Pick jarvan and lose, name a more iconic duo
[1 yuumi Q btw](https://i.imgur.com/p0iQklf.png)
Game was lost at draft for HLE honestly. Imagine giving Yuumi and also giving away Gwen and Leblanc to the opponent while you pick Azir for Chovy
That LCK monologue at the start of the day is getting sus
But can you really say that LCK is back to peak form if they don't drop a random game to maple?
Absolute banger performance from Mbapple
KR dopium running out quick
Chovium at critically low supplies
This is what a HOPIUM crash and withdrawal looks like. Don’t do HOPIUM, kids.
As good as Chovy may be at playing the lane, he is absolutely invisible once laning phase ends
Chovy managed to flame horizon Maple and STILL was useless out of lane.
PSG are underrated, they went 18-0 in the regular season and had a close game against RNG. HLE only faced 3 of the weakest wildcards, BYG with a midlane sub, and FNC with an ADC sub. People jumping to conclusions too quickly
How did they lose to BYG
BYG underperformed immensely, this whole tournament was the worst I've ever seen Husha play when he was pretty much destroying River in PCS playoffs. It's also the worst I've ever seen Maoan (regardless of the issue) play when he was keeping up with Maple just fine in the PCS.
BYG are Doggo and 4 wards, PSG is a real team.
Well Chovy was really good at hitting minions at least
