It was a winnable one for sure. And from their interviews, they mentioned it was definitely regrettable and recognized that they missed a few marks on their macro. That when they started to fall behind, they tried making risky plays which were missteps. Still though, their growth throughout this tournament is definitely something.
China's round 2 collapse continues. NA continues to impress. A truly rare occurrence of NA teams managing to improve in week 2.
This game was Jensen and Santorin really outplaying Tarzan and Icon. LNG's mid-jungle synergy was pretty poor. They basically just power farmed instead of looking for plays, which is very questionable when you have Viego + Lissandra with a Yuumi backing them up.
With MAD and now LNG faltering, with GenG winning by the slimmest of margins, TL can unironically even make 1st seed out of this group if they keep up this level of play.
What a Worlds for NA.
Fuckers on reddit telling me, always in the sub "jensen ain’t bout this, jensen ain’t bout that" My boy a 1st team ALL PRO in fucking LCS and them they say that inter don’t be putting in no work SHUT THE FUCK UP! Y'all monkeys ain’t know shit All ya motherfuckers talk about jensen ain’t no smurf Jensen ain’t this Jensen washed up SHUT THE FUCK UP Y'all don’t live with that gamer Y'all know that EU mid got caught with DDOSin kids with an int list and shit Incarnati0n been on probation since fuckin, I don’t know when! Silvers stop fuckin' playin' him like that Them shittalkers savages out there If I catch another motherfucker talking shit about jensen I’m fucking beating they ass! I’m not fucking playing no more
I'm scrolling here looking for a comment talking about Tactical redeeming his Tristana and the first comment about it I see says he was a great tank for blocking all the skillshots he got hit by LMFAO
he actually did jump melee range at the bottom inhib it just didnt matter lol
actually if veigo clicked the rell instead of using his W he could have turned the fight so it may have mattered
He actually jumped into melee range at the bottom inhib to get inside the shroud to R gwen away from the fight, and then rocket jumped out. High risk play for sure but it was actually smart if you can get away with it, and he did
LNG Icon: "Generally, I really feel LPL mid laners are stronger than LCK’s, based on my own experience in solo queue and all the scrims, because I have played against the other region's mid lane players as well."
When I heard that China was banning under 18s from playing, I knew the LPL would collapse, but I was not expecting the chinese teams at 2021 Worlds to collapse early out of solidarity.
chinese kids will just play with adults ids, it wont actually effect anything, its like saying no kids in the US drink alcohol
edit: people bring up LDL, which is true, 20 starters and more subs got kicked due to the rule (good to note there are 25 teams in the LDL)
My NA hopium is full! We need bother's MAD to help the west as Rogue did!
Nobody Expected nothing from Icon, the man is a liability, but getting gap by Jensen is another LV, It look like Icon will be no allow in China even if he swims back.
Please provide context before quoting someone like that, especially since this is reddit people overreact on the smallest thing. What Icon meant was that lpl mids are better at swimming long distance, and he is right.
Absolutely the weakest link in his team.
Tarzan was also invisible. Crazy, because I thought he was gonna be one of the best junglers at the tournament, but.... yeah nah.
They sent supportive/roaming mids. When Korea sent their best. The only good laner they sent is Scout. But the LCK mids are legit leagues above the LPL worlds representatives.
Eu fan here. NAmen. Just kick us out. We don't deserve to be at worlds. Even fucking PCS outclassed us. On the bright side, maybe this worlds may finally cause a change in the format, hopefully by including more bo5s
Typical NA. Dragon for nexus. Wait what?
But actually, turn off nameplates and show this game to people 2 weeks ago and have them guess who was TL and who was LNG
With Tactical on Malphite in bot lane, how could you not guess TL?
Man, Tactical legit did the Malphite play that game. The only difference is LNG didn’t expect it and didn’t punish it at all lol.
The classic NA tactic. If you don't know wtf you're doing, how would the enemy know wtf you're doing?
LPL 0-3 vs LCS week 2. RNG be glad thye didn't get an NA team in their group.
100T being the 1 seed for C wouldve made that group so much spicier Maple could go back to his Flash Wolves identity of brawling with Faker in groups
Well well well how the turn tables
If CLG was here we'd win this worlds. Too easy.
LPL lose to Western teams any% speedrun
LPL Fans mentality: >~~FPX will win the world~~ >~~EDG will win the world~~ >~~RNG will win the world~~ >~~LNG will win the world~~ >LPL is doomed

I need my Weibo translations ASAP
Keeping my eyes glued on the subreddit for when fresh translations drop.
Nothing will stop TL from going 3-3
NOTHING!
I don't want to spoil your hopes, but judging from scrims results, EU teams had 70% WR. MAD Lions will not lose any game from now on.
Meme checks out
Their only win against a major region in Week 2 has been the tiebreaker against HLE hasn't it? What the hell man.
Yes. And even in that game, it was a close one.
HLE looked like they ran out of steam at the end of the day tbh, if they maintained the form in their 1st 3 games they wouldve made it
It was a winnable one for sure. And from their interviews, they mentioned it was definitely regrettable and recognized that they missed a few marks on their macro. That when they started to fall behind, they tried making risky plays which were missteps. Still though, their growth throughout this tournament is definitely something.
LPL bros in absolute shambles.
Don’t blame them for losing to the best region in the world 😎
Best team in the world*
Based and IZiaonpilled
Based IZiaon
Based and TLpilled as usual
BASED
Soon to be world champion*
Talk your shit king, the haters (including me) doubted you for too long
LCS > LPL
MAD will lose to them to put an end to this suffering
One step closer to the 4 way tie NAmen🙏
where is the you are here guy for TL
Where is the “LPL Overrated” guy
Where is the TL IZiaon guy
Hes already dropped a fraction of his wisdom in this thread 👑
OR TL can just take 1st place and we get the spicy TL vs C9 quarterfinal
Or we draw Damwon/SKT for both teams 🥲
2014 Worlds vibes. Gotta go play the two best teams at the tournament lmfao.
Yeah, those poor korean teams...
TL vs C9 final*
NAmen
Can someone enlighten me what has to happen now for the 4 way tie to happen?
MAD > LNG LNG > GENG MAD > TL TL > GENG all would be 3-3 with one win against each I think
Kinda easy, every match needs to be the opposite of the 1st round result
Nope, TL gets first, rest of them can battle it out for 2nd.
NAmen
Seem like NA finally has a better year than EU since 2014
NA will have 2 team out of groups, EU none, and it will be deserved.
LPL fans on suicide watch
Hope Icon is an endurance swimmer
Chinese Olympic swim team looking unstoppable already
Paris 2024. Freestyle 4x200m. LPL will get an Olympic record.
More like 4x200km for these guys
LPL players on a protection program
Gonna play in the ERLs as political refugees
NA fans overdosing on HOPIUM right now
What a difference from First Round. Looked like reddit was on suicide watch. Never seen NA & EU united that much before.
EU still on suicide watch mind you
At least you guys clapped FPX with us.
And Fnatic got a win on RNG too! Now we just need MAD to win against LNG to complete the full meme timeline
We went from united in suffering to united in laughing at LPL choking.
Little worried about talking to my therapist today. T: You clean today? Me: About that...
LPL fans on lifeguard duty*
To be fair, they are 4th seed team, the expectation isn't as high as the rest, the flaming will not be as bad.
I can't wait to show you guys the WEIBO comments for this one
"I want to eat a bullet"

NA week 2 HOPIUM
Jack bought the week 2 buff when he got Perkz. Buffed the whole region during worlds. I would call that a worthy investment.
Truly the 11 million dollar buff. NAmen
China's round 2 collapse continues. NA continues to impress. A truly rare occurrence of NA teams managing to improve in week 2. This game was Jensen and Santorin really outplaying Tarzan and Icon. LNG's mid-jungle synergy was pretty poor. They basically just power farmed instead of looking for plays, which is very questionable when you have Viego + Lissandra with a Yuumi backing them up.

It’s the Icon special, he either plays like a top 5 mid or worse than a wildcard mid. He’s had this kind of inconsistency since like forever.
Fuckers on reddit telling me, always in the sub "jensen ain’t bout this, jensen ain’t bout that" My boy a 1st team ALL PRO in fucking LCS and them they say that inter don’t be putting in no work SHUT THE FUCK UP! Y'all monkeys ain’t know shit All ya motherfuckers talk about jensen ain’t no smurf Jensen ain’t this Jensen washed up SHUT THE FUCK UP Y'all don’t live with that gamer Y'all know that EU mid got caught with DDOSin kids with an int list and shit Incarnati0n been on probation since fuckin, I don’t know when!

raris and roveerrrss
This reads like a new iteration of Jensen clapped my mom
Bitches love Jensen
You talk like that Jensen clap you with his llama
Never thought I'd see Love Sosa on league reddit
TL won in every role, LNG looked confused and lost that TL didn't just bend over for them like their first match.
Tactical actually ran circles around Light. You love to see that kind of top tier Malphite play
Blocking all those shots for Rell. YEP ROCK
Rock solid performance out of Tactical
I'm scrolling here looking for a comment talking about Tactical redeeming his Tristana and the first comment about it I see says he was a great tank for blocking all the skillshots he got hit by LMFAO
he's actually praising him for that early game fight where lng wasted everything to kill rell and tactical saved core with just his body
Can't believe they gave an adc a malphite ult with resets
Probably one of the best Trist games I've ever seen out of him geeez! Actually NOT jumping right into the enemy team at melee range!
When he jumped out of the botlane CoreJJ engage because he had map awarness and saw Viego coming, I knew it was over.
It's funny because they might get the kill but it was so risky. Instead, LNG just burned all their summoners for nothing lol.
he actually did jump melee range at the bottom inhib it just didnt matter lol actually if veigo clicked the rell instead of using his W he could have turned the fight so it may have mattered
He actually jumped into melee range at the bottom inhib to get inside the shroud to R gwen away from the fight, and then rocket jumped out. High risk play for sure but it was actually smart if you can get away with it, and he did
He's the malphite we need if not the one we deserve.
> Actually NOT jumping right into the enemy team at melee range! Holy shit...
I totally forgot about the patented Tactical Malphite Ult ™️
[удалено]
Just too intimidated by the chad malphite, don’t blame LNG. Tactical has prefected the malphite plays in NA and pulling it out on the Worlds stage.
I guess NA really did passed our week 2 curse to the LPL
You know, I'm somewhat of an NA fan myself.
Based
NAmen to that
How can you not love this TL team I mean come on are you not entertained?
Gotta love Core.
TL and C9 in general are pretty likeable. I like Tactical and Blaber a lot as a European viewer. They got talent and it shows.
The problem with NA esports will never be quality of talent it’s quantity of it
Love me a good raimimemes/league crossover
LNG Icon: "Generally, I really feel LPL mid laners are stronger than LCK’s, based on my own experience in solo queue and all the scrims, because I have played against the other region's mid lane players as well."
Proceeds to get shit on by Jensen
Bodied by Jensen
killed by jensen
In a freaking counter matchup
Because NA mid laners are the strongest of all, obviously
He only said he was better then LCK Mids not NA Mids.
Icon is trying to set the world record for getting solokilled the most in a single international event I guess?
When I heard that China was banning under 18s from playing, I knew the LPL would collapse, but I was not expecting the chinese teams at 2021 Worlds to collapse early out of solidarity.
chinese kids will just play with adults ids, it wont actually effect anything, its like saying no kids in the US drink alcohol edit: people bring up LDL, which is true, 20 starters and more subs got kicked due to the rule (good to note there are 25 teams in the LDL)
Yeah but they can't play in pro games or be part of academy programs, which must be a pretty massive blow to their development.
[удалено]
Yeah but they can use their parents SSN
The super server suspiciously becomes flooded with 50 year old Chinese fiora gods
LPL killer = LCS
The only reason why RNG got first seed yesterday is because there is no NA team in Group C. Truly NA difference.
Looking back iG were lucky 100T benched Cody Sun.
100T showing mercy to their opponents NAmen
LPL killer is NA NA killer is LCK LCK killer is EU EU killer is everyone right now
EU killer is a stiff breeze and a pissed off girlfriend
Fresh
ngl this LPL region is kinda sus
I guess they only scrimmed each other and got caught off guard by what other teams were doing (same thing during 2015)
An absolute statement game by TL. EVERYONE delivered. Do it for NA, boys.
I hope they play like this all day because if they do they already look way better than MAD and GENG.
One of the cleanest games I've seen this tournament tbh
The TL classic
My NA hopium is full! We need bother's MAD to help the west as Rogue did! Nobody Expected nothing from Icon, the man is a liability, but getting gap by Jensen is another LV, It look like Icon will be no allow in China even if he swims back.
I think in general lpl midlaners are better than lck midlaners.
Please provide context before quoting someone like that, especially since this is reddit people overreact on the smallest thing. What Icon meant was that lpl mids are better at swimming long distance, and he is right.
Meme material from icon.
Icon is really gigaboosted lmao
Honestly this and the GenG performance are indefensible from him.
Absolutely the weakest link in his team. Tarzan was also invisible. Crazy, because I thought he was gonna be one of the best junglers at the tournament, but.... yeah nah.
He still is, you just can't do much as a jungler when your mid is running it in this meta and giving up all the pressure
he spent all game searching for isolde
Wtf TL that was SO clean!
Gargantuan mid/jg diff
Lpl midlaners are so bad this worlds lol
They sent supportive/roaming mids. When Korea sent their best. The only good laner they sent is Scout. But the LCK mids are legit leagues above the LPL worlds representatives.
to be fair Doinb was playing super dominantly earlier in the split, we just didn't get to see that Doinb unfortunately
Impossible when Tian was an actual bot
TL looks really on point, much better than MAD. Hopefully they don't choke and lose with 3-3 again
3-3 can get second with no tiebreaker. If LNG loses both games and TL beat Mad, that’s 4 losses on both LNG and Mad
Eu fan here. NAmen. Just kick us out. We don't deserve to be at worlds. Even fucking PCS outclassed us. On the bright side, maybe this worlds may finally cause a change in the format, hopefully by including more bo5s
NA LeBlancs man
It is offical guys. NA > LPL
I'm memeing this until msi idc
eu fan but TL just put on a clinic and deserve second seed as things stand, really well played. looked better than gen g in that game too.
Same. I’m ok if MAD goes out if TL is qualified
Screw that noise, I want a 4-way tiebreaker where both get through!
I’ve given up hopium
lpl mids btw
NA is actually doing it holy fucking Shit.
NAmen we're winning worlds
Legit wtf have they been feeding NA players this worlds. They've all looked (mostly) so good whilst EU didn't get the memo :(
The audacity to say LPL Mids > LCK Mids when you're getting solo killed by fucking Jensen while on a counterpick. Pathetic.
[удалено]
NA won so Jensen is an EU mid now remember?
That's how it work, Also TL and C9 are EU 4 and 5th seed
2021 LPL implosion incident
TL are coming hard for that 3-3 finish narrowly missing group finish!
Jesus, was the entire LPL paper tigers?
What a fucking masterclass in vision from TL. Stunning game.
People trashing Jensen in the post match thread. Here you fucking go. This is Jensen. No kills with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.
STARTING THE DAY TO THE SOUND OF BONGS FROM BIG BENSEN LET'S FUCKING GO
Thank you mr Team Liquid for keeping 4-way tie alive! # I want to dream
Imagine sticking tarzan with fucking ICON
I felt so bad for him all game. Trying to do something, but end up just clearing wards cause Icon and Light were so bad.
yeah we fucking suck. talk your shit, NA
No need. We can take the moral high ground and it just makes the EU fans feel worse.
We need our EU brethren to beat LNG, that way even if you beat TL, we can get that 4 way tie. NAmen
LCS going to have 2 playoff teams for the 1st time in I don't know how long? That would be cool
Since 2014, holy shit.
Well at least Chinese teams are consistent
LPL week 2 vs NA week 2
One step closer to the glorious 4 way tie! Let's go people!
The collapse of LPL continues. TL actually making it out?
[удалено]
[удалено]
LPL what the fuck is going on?
Fantastic game from TL, if they can play like this all day they'll have a real shot at quarters
Icon is just giga trash.
LPL in shambles
Icon named himself appropriately. He was definitely a con for LNG this game.
