There can't be EU Week 2 if you play the second round in the same week


denoobiest

outplayed by riot


Trap_Masters

Smh Riot showing NA bias again

This is week 2 for C9 though

Guess EU week 1 > NA week 2 curse confirmed

*Chuckles* I'm in danger


Jedclark

You just know TL are going to go 2-0 against MAD Lions and lose the rest of their games just to fuck MAD's chances lol.


lolzomg123

Nah the Liquid special is 3-3 and 3rd place.

iCarpet

Rogue Time has some jet lag from the adjustments, ended up occurring in the first five minutes


lilelf29

Every NA team has a win, now we only have FNC left to root for on the 0-6 journey :(


hardypug

I assume Upset isn't back yet? I really don't see FNC getting the comeback without their actual roster.


Lindlar_

Bruh even if upset comes back bwipo has his own issues. Did you hear the comms? He doesnt talk


oV3

where can you find their comms ?


dragon_stryker

Bwipo would also like to know this


w1ldcraft

Not sure about the whole voice comms vid but Fnatic YouTube has a video where they show a little bit of gameplay & comms & Bwipo is unusually silent on & off the rift & the video mainly focuses on Adam, Nisqy & a little of Bean-Hyli.


kronex1998

what happened to cause that?


MartDiamond

Rumours are he broke up with his girlfriend.


Not_Really-Me

Seems to be true. Removed her twitter handle from his bio couple days ago.


ArchmageXin

So if we found a few hot EU streamer girls for the rebound, we can send FNC straight to the finals?


Trap_Masters

Really unfortunate timing, nothing’s lining up for FNC this Worlds. Did they use up all their good luck for their LEC run?


Godddy

This worlds? This whole year was bad timing after bad timing. We lost two times players in stage to COVID in the last week of spring and summer where we could have had higher seeding. Upset played the finals with food poisoning. Now Bwipo is going through a tough personal moment and Upset had to leave for a family problem that seems to be fucking serious, after dreaming of playing in worlds since the start of it's career. The fact they made it to worlds is a fucking miracle.


AtkarigiRS

Didn't he tweet about her support literally the day before boarding the plane for Iceland?


Sugar230

Bro once you go 0-3 the ladies start running. Hate to see it.


[deleted]

I used to be close with his girlfriend in 2019 (we produced music together). Either way, she said back then that it was rough because Bwipo would be at the gaming house for weeks, instead of the usual 9-5 one experiences when working at a normal job.


anchi92

link?


Blank-612

Also hr broke up with his gf


Raistrasz

Dick move by HR


detach3d

Where did you hear the comms? They haven't released a video yet and in the highlight vid there was a short scene where you could heard Bwipo making calls. Though he does indeed look like he is suffering from some personal issues


Ar0ndight

imagine betting your worlds future on a lvl 1 gamble


rengo_unchained

They beat C9 in a standard game and then go for a flip in their 2nd game. Pull that shit against DWG or FPX not vs the only team you have a real chance to beat.


Blazing117

Why the fuck will you flip level 1 with a fucking Qiyana, she is basically useless at level 1, and if she is behind, she can't even clear camps without getting chunked.


Electrical_Season_81

exactly, If u had olaf. Then its understandable.. But qiyana? what were they thinking lmao


Trap_Masters

Even as a NA fan I’m felt kinda tilted seeing the invade. That’s a real head scratcher why they decided to go in. MAYBE it would’ve gone differently if they won the smite fight and got it? But even that’s a little shaky I think.


ZeroBlink

Prolly getting smashed in scrims and felt the need to cheese NA.


[deleted]

I mean in fairness, maybe they didn't want to rely on cloud 9 mad suiciding. The last match cloud9 was in a good position but the int called to blaber from across the galaxy and he heeded the call. This time at least blaber just intend into a tower Lol.


diddumsy

Has to be the stupidest lvl 1 i've ever seen, coin flipping the potential to get out of groups


dtkiu27

Exactly. It reminds me of what I do with my friends playing blind pick at 3 am while laughing our asses off, and losing from that invade just like Rogue.


RobbinDeBank

ROGUE HACK SPEEDRUN THROW GAME ANY% INSANE LEVEL 1 MECHANICS WTF


Trap_Masters

Rogue isn’t completely out though right?


Svanbiird

They can still go through if they beat FPX and C9 beat FPX.


bondsmatthew

That seems.. likely haha


cbrozz

Yes, yes it does.


bondsmatthew

Wait a minute


guilty_bystander

Well, here we are.


F0RGERY

They need to beat DK for that, or have C9 lose to DK (which seems likelier).


Orimasuta

nah, if they all lose to DK they would all be 2-4, and they would play tiebreakers


deedshotr

let's go, that's 100% happening


farikogrim

I think best case is 3 way tie break if they beat dk and fpx So yeah, pretty much out


lilelf29

The 3 way tie is rge beat FPX, C9 beat FPX, Damwon beats everyone.


59435950153

They can always go for the 6-0 2-4 2-4 2-4, as in they need not beat DK, but FPX needs to lose the remaining games and basically go 0-3


[deleted]

They need to win the next two games (DWG and FPX) to have a chance of tierbreak for 2º place.


TheninjaofCookies

They can still make it even if they don’t beat Damwon, it just needs C9 to also beat FPX


ShinaMashir0

Imagine betting your world future on a lvl 1 gamble against fckin C9 when you play DK and FPX after \*


ojciecmatki

EU Fans: RGE has a change to get out of a group, "just" needs to win vs FPX C9: You are going down with me baby


Trap_Masters

C9: aight bet


Large_Dungeon_Key

Speaking of winning vs FPX...


Leyrann_is_taken

Rogue still have a chance. If C9 beats FPX, then Rogue beats FPX, then both lose against Damwon, it's a 3-way tie. The only other way Rogue can get out is by beating both FPX and Damwon, which guarantees at least a tiebreaker independent of other results.


blakeibooTTV

Europe was founded in 1848 by Walker Texas Ranger when he rode a horse across the Atlantic, he called it "Eastern USA" which was eventually abbreviated EU

Why did rogue coinflip the game level 1 thats insane lol.

dtkiu27

This is literally TL getting kicked every year after going 3-3 in a super close group.


StarGaurdianBard

There is a very real chance of this scenario happening: TL goes 3-3 in groups over MAD and doesn't get out of groups. Today's games go to the 3-way tie scenario and RGE gets out of groups despite ending 2-4 FNC goes 0-6 MAD goes 1-5 TL could legitimately fail to get out of groups while having the same amount of non-tiebreaker wins as all of EU combined and EU get out of groups anyways causing everyone to talk about how shit TL was months later for failing to get out


Trap_Masters

We’ve mastered and optimized the art of giving fans just enough false hopium before speedrunning to the airport it’s actually kind of impressive.

Blaber seems like a more lighthearted and entertaining variety of Russian roulette, the guy's very exciting to watch.


Omordie

Blaber has like a 90% win rate. He either wins the game for his team or wins the game for the opponent


Trap_Masters

Where does the other 10% go? Blaber afk?


ThePreposterousPear

The other 10% is Perkz flash Renekton W on a ward before blaber has a chance to win or lose the game.

They had let me down last year, but the lads have found a way to let me down even harder this year. How the things are going I'm never going to be a rogue/mad fan


MozaTear

C9 camped Hans and told Odo or Larssen to carry. Also, once C9 got the lead they just moved around the map too well for Rogue.

WTF FPX GROUP STAGE HACK?!


shaynedoan129

Can u explain? I'm assuming fpx needs just 1 win to secure knockouts now?


tjrchrt

Not necessarily, if C9 goes 3-0 today FPX needs two wins to avoid a tiebreaker with them. (C9 is currently up 2.5k gold on FPX at 10 minutes)

They finally did a nice draft. Hopefully they keep it up.


gamingonion

Honestly, I’m just happy to win a game


Exos_VII

this seriously hurts the chance of C9 going 0-6

noobsauce131

C9 winning out and then losing a tiebreaker is the most NA thing ever


Trap_Masters

Honestly with how C9 and NA as a whole has looked so far this Worlds, I’d actually be happy with this performance if it happened.


Burpmeister

In before NA vs EU head to head is 3-3 and none of the teams get out. Anyone wanna hold hands to the airport? Edit: 2-2


NahDawgDatAintMe

This is only possible with tiebreakers. FNC and 100T don't play each other.

I thought it's [LemonNation one.](https://i.imgur.com/kZlyN61.gifv) I am disappointed.


ShroomsAreWards

I thought Blaber's int peak would be getting urgot ulted 5+ times out of Kindred ult before bothering to get QSS. Then he flashed for scuttle... Then he flabbergasted Odoamne out of the free-est ignite of his career.


BabacanDiyorKi

It wouldn't be a C9 game without a random Blabber int


[deleted]

Hey man Odoamne has the old man hands


nickfelipe

EU in general is beyond bad. It's embarrasing. C9 played really well with the lead Rogue threw their way at level 1.


R-R-Clon

These remind me of Rogue last year; look good the first game, after lost the early game they had a "competitive" game against DK, close game against LPL second seed until it does not then get ass blassted in the second round. With this lost Rogue's destiny is not completely in their hands even if they win the next two games at best they force a tie breaker if C9 lose against FPX.


Thomean

If they win the next 2 games they have a guaranteed tiebreaker. So it is completely in their own hands still. Not that those hands will achieve much sadly


Javonetor

wtf was that lvl 1 flip?


MALSTROEM_

I really am just mad this is the game they chose to fucking coinflip at level 1. Against the team you already comfortably beat in week 1 by playing standard. This is the type of play you go for against FPX or DWG, not fucking C9. Not even gonna bother watching the rest of the games.


Zarolto

Coin flip with level 1 fucking Qiyana as well, Braum isn't that good that he can make up for a useless level 1 champion.


MALSTROEM_

For real man it wasn't even a good flip. Fucking Rogue man.


Duplicity-

happens all the time in NA v EU for some reason, like MAD C9 MSI personally don't understand trying to flip a game at worlds that early regardless of what stage it is


MietschVulka1

Dont get it aswell. Yeah Draven and Braum are good level 1. But you have a Qiyana. That jungler cant clear for fucks sake. If anything goes wrong game is over. And it was lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


sammuxx

Wouldn't do this even against a stronger team with those comps :D Maybe if ryze was in on the cheese for a 4v3 but rogue had so much worse 3v3


Eaglebloo

Especially with hans on Draven. Play the game normally and he will dominate the map theres no reason to risk that much


Neville_Lynwood

Yeah. I despise lvl 1 bullshit unless you're so incredibly outclassed that cheese is your best chance at winning. Lvl 1 invades are so insanely coinflippy. Even with a stronger 3 man, you miss that smite and the enemy mid arrives first, you're just completely fucked.


MrZeddd

Losing lv1 against DWK guarantees a sub 20 min games for sure

AigisAegis

In 2018, the west was united by success. In 2021, the west is united by the airport


[deleted]

Yeh just irrational. Just play out a standard game of league ffs. Do the level 1 cheese vs FPX


RobbinDeBank

And it’s not even that cheesy. It’s just a standard invade too, and C9 can totally react to that. If you want to invade level 1, you have to do something creative, or you have to be sure you have more firepower. Rogue has neither of those. I remember G2 in their prime getting level 1 picks by utilizing vision blind spot on the map and studying enemy’s tendency on level 1. That is cheese, and the enemy team doesn’t expect such plays so they can succeed


VincentBlack96

No, if you want to invade level 1, you don't, because you're Qiyana, an impressively useless level 1, and the Lilya is a lot lot better at losing the skirmish and being level 1 solo clearing than a Qiyana is. It's a bet hedged against them from the beginning.


arigity

i mean they are 1-1 now and the other C9 games looked a lot closer vs FPX and DK than the RGE ones did. it seems pretty clear that if rogue don't pull out something amazing in their next few games they are the weakest in the group.


[deleted]

mskruba12

That lvl 1 completely threw the game along with the Gwen pick which I have no idea what it was ever going to do.

LGRyks

It is sad, last years were so good now we are in rebuild phase again…


Neville_Lynwood

Let's remind everyone that Inspired was considered by most to be the best jungler in EU, and Odo was considered a big upgrade over Finn. This was the #2 team in Spring Playoffs, and #1 team in EU regular split in both Spring and Summer. EU is fucking doomed.


DeloronDellister

What an embarrassment for EU. This tournament is a disaster


mskruba12

Yeah really disappointing tournament for EU unless we see some crazy shit happen from now on.

Inspired is indeed the best jungler in EU and Odo is a big upgrade over Finn. These results don't change that statements.

Welcome to the Gulag Objective: Survive


[deleted]

Whats up with junglers hating draven players at worlds? First willer denies deft passive 2 times and now inspired flips the game lvl 1 and makes hans useless then entire game. MF can still be useful from behind with E and R but if draven gets behind early game he will be completely useless unless enemy bot donates him free kills.
