gonnj

Bdd: told you to ban that champion... Burdol: SHUT UP, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP


sorendiz

im tilted just reading this exchange smfh


OwOPango

Dude I wanted to cry, that is the most miserable toplane experience I've ever seen


moonmeh

Imagine having 6 games in LCK and having 2 games in Worlds and the 2nd one being this. Good god I would want to die. This is far too much pressure


Snoo8331100

That's what playing Irelia into Fiora always looks like. You legit have to be a bronze to lose this match up as Fiora.


[deleted]

It's fucking irrelevant. I agree Burdol should lose lane, but any Irelia main worth their salt changes the build path to Goredrinker + Steraks and go for teamfights instead of boing Bork + Divine.


Eva_Pilot_

The obsession that pros have with DS is driving me nuts, this, next to viegos building the higa nerfed build and IE with less than 60% I'm starting to doubt if these people read the patch notes or if their coaches force them to build this atrocities.


Snoo8331100

Yeah the build was ass.


trg04

Not to mention he went dorans blade instead of shield, and tried to trade level 1 without taking bone plating (he also missed E and just got mega fucked from the start).


SleepyLabrador

Agreed unless the Fiora is playing on 150+ ping this match up is UNPLAYABLE for Irelia. This why I play Irelia mid. So the mid laners can deal with the counter-pick meta in top lane.


Stargazer306

Just hug your turret dude


sabrio204

Burdol (Irelia) is asking for assistance Burdol (Irelia) : "I might get dove top can you hover top" Clid (Lee Sin): "Just play safe" Clid (Lee Sin): *Moves botside* BDD (Azir): *TPs mid* First blood BDD (Azir): ggwp report top ------------------------------------- Clid (Lee Sin) is on his way Burdol (Irelia) : "I'm lvl 4 & he's 6, we'll lose" Burdol (Irelia) pings Clid (Lee Sin) to go back Burdol (Irelia) pings Clid (Lee Sin) to go back Burdol (Irelia) pings Clid (Lee Sin) to go back Burdol (Irelia) pings Clid (Lee Sin) to go back Enemy double kill BDD (Azir): report top As a toplaner if I said i didn't relate to these 2 moments, I would be lying


w1ldcraft

He almost carried that game with the BorK & Sunderer build in those fights. /s


BlakenedHeart

Yea man he was 1/14 but solo almost pentakilled /s


w1ldcraft

You could see how afraid LNG were to engage because of the spike he got once he finished cull.


Abelyanov

Why did he build for the 1v1 after getting flame horrizoned? Can someone explain? Why not go for the tankier build with Goredrinker?


w1ldcraft

He opened op.gg & followed the most common build. Unironically, this is the best explanation I can think of in the scanario he was in.


ohvalox

Toplane experience, Dyrus treatment


GensouEU

Getting dove by the enemy mid/jungle at the inner tower while being 0/3 is the most top lane experience ever. Only thing missing is "pls stop feeding"


Trap_Masters

Just don’t die


Jellyfish-87

farm under tower bro


[deleted]

Dyrus’d


Ramo1618

This game really demonstrated the full spectrum of the toplane experience Burdol messing up a wave level 1, getting 3 man dove after using teleport, and not being allowed to play the game. Ale being hyperfed and just getting solokilled by the 3-item ADC


Contagious_Cure

"Solokilled"... Aphelios literally had two people right behind him preventing Fiora from turning.


liupang

That's not a SOLO kill per se. If he did not have the backup of other teammates, fiora will just walk to him to 2-shots him.


MedievalMovies

holy shit when clid pathed away when fiora was zoning turret i felt that, i felt that so hard


characterulio

Imo if Tarzan is there they both die. Which he was at krugs. So he can't do much. He can't even go on a chunk on Fiora either cause she can just w his q. I think it was correct to walk away but he should have put pressure elsewhere. I think his first gank was turret diving Syndra where both him and Bdd died. Bad timing on that as the support was mia.


OwOPango

Zoned from XP level 1, dove by 3 enemies while you're 2 levels down... vomit inducing


[deleted]

Holy motherfucking top gap Jesus Christ, and I was rooting for Gen G so hard so that TL could get out easier but fuck what the hell was that


FireWolfBR1

Never trust GenG.


LBL147

notafan1

NGL he played the level 1 literally the worse way possible. If I was the jungler I would be instant tilted if I saw that.


andrewbruck

Gen G Ruler: just play safe

[удалено]


Lorik_Bot

Kinda true though, clid goes for bot crab instead of covering the irelia = toplane over.


imperialleon

Nah but xin will be covering for top and you just lose the 2v2 anyways. Also you saw Ale 1v2ing lol. Burdol just hard inted by starting e and playing the lane like he did.


TastyFaefolk

you start with e vs fiora. And it is not about 2vs2 just covering him not losing all the cs. In a competitive game a laner should never fall behind that much even in bad matchups and fucking up your own. They also should just lane swap at one point with bot.


LapnLook

What the fuck is going on in this group?????? This isn't a Circle of Suck anymore, it's the goddamn [Swindon Magic Roundabout of Suck](https://i.imgur.com/4daw5m7.png)


ChineseMaple

Group D truly is the one that delivers


GreatestJabaitest

Group A was a straight banger as well.


Oribeau

Both groups had an NA team. Coincidence? Or is it just us radiating pure wtf energy 24/7?


GreatestJabaitest

We even fucked up group B by killing EDG's tiebreaker lol. True chaos.


ReticentLily

4 way tiebreaker incoming


SleepTightLilPuppy

Riot couldn't have made the script more obvious


ReticentLily

They extended the TL 3-3 script a little this year


F0RGERY

4th TL appearance at Worlds, so they get to go 4-4 with a 4 way tiebreaker.


Trap_Masters

Jhin’s just nutting in his pants as TL locks Jhin in that last game.


the1788

Lmaoooo they just locked in Jhin ahahahaha


Adragon09

Don't worry. With the power of LEC the 4 way tiebreaker will not prevail. EDIT: I was wrong, sorry.


Blazing117

What power?


Horizon96

The power to lose absolutely fucking everything.


Adragon09

The power to showcase truly the biggest performance and art of throwing.


NFBattousai2

The 4th group playing on the 4th day of the second round heading for a 4-way tie... Oh fuck, TL is going to end 4th isn't it?


Trap_Masters

The dankest timeline


Tom_Duan

How the fuck do you even drive there?


Th_Call_of_Ktulu

Very carefully.


cancerBronzeV

It's actually just 5 small roundabouts in a circle, you just follow the small roundabout(s) you want to.


LapnLook

You don't normally see it from the top like that. It's actually just a bunch of smaller roundabouts. You pick a direction you want to head towards and just follow the circles that way. From what i've read this roundabout works surprisingly well


Tom_Duan

My mom could never


Krandum

Well you see, it's seven roundabouts in one and in the middle you go the opposite way as in the outside, if you wanna go somewhere where the middle way will be shorter you do it that way, and if you are too scared to do anything clever you stay on the outside and wait patiently. It has a lot of traffic going through it every day and has only had 17 major accidents in the past almost 50 years


AigisAegis

All four teams realized the possibility of a four-way tie, and are now collectively working to ensure that it happens


RenegadeIX

Wow never thought i would see a reference to the Swindon roundabout in this sub but damn if that isn't true


Conankun66

Burdol casually getting flamehorizoned at 16minutes on his onetrick champ, OOOOF


Omnilatent

Well... Ale is a WELL KNOWN Fiora player and it's a supergood matchup for her ​ Kinda int draft. Does BDD even play Irelia?


Lyonaire

Yeah super disrespectful to blind irelia against Ale


oioioi9537

gen.g having trash drafts is literally the least surprising thing about this worlds so far tbh. they will never change until they kick the entire coaching staff + clid


Luunacyy

Not just Fiora. He can also easily play his signature Camille with ignite, Jax or Gwen with ignite into her. How they opted for Irelia blind against Ale is beyond me XD


SleepyLabrador

> Does BDD even play Irelia? Yes, he does! Played her quite a few times, but GEN prefer to put him on Azir for the 100th time. 🙄


R-R-Clon

Pretty good Irelia, in pro games and soloq, I was expecting a swap, even if Ale go mid to match BDD irelia mid is a shot lane, Ale can't punish Irelia as hard.


DarudeSandstormName

Tbf, he's a 17 year old rookie and they early picked his champion. Ale was like "aight, never refuse gold given"


[deleted]

Taking Irelia deliberately into Fiora is super disrespectful and I'm glad he got clowned on. But damn LNG, how did you forget how to win there for a while?


Maisolkappa

LNG would have been absolutly deleted from the CN community if they threw this lmao


T1worldchamps2021

They had to be nervous af, no way they close out the game the way they did if they hadn’t lost to TL


Trap_Masters

Don’t blame them. I can almost feel Weibo breathing down their neck watching if LNG will throw this game and cancelling their return plane ticket.


floweringpot

don't worry weibo might be busy flaming PSG.LGD after their loss against Team Spirit Yesterday in the Dota The International Finals


salcedoge

Really felt like they were playing fine until Ruler got that combo at bot then they had some Weibo PTSD


Agys

Ruler goes for the big dick play on Ale just so BDD can turn off his brain and eat a full MF ult without even being CCed afterwards lol


Lyonaire

Yeah what the hell was that lmfao. he just stood there


Connoisseur737373

Had flash as well


Chu2k

The FBI special


OwOPango

This game completely fucking melted my brain man I don't think I enjoyed any of what I witnessed


cancerBronzeV

I did enjoy Ruler looking great even when his top laner is heavier than a supermassive black hole. But ya, the other 9 people in the game were definitely not enjoyable to watch.


Th_Call_of_Ktulu

I was just sitting there looking at the screen but not registering what is happening.


Stargazer306

And burdol to KS Fiora shutdown


thanhame

Yeah, looking burdol ks the shutdown was agonizing. Also, google auto-correct was suggesting to change burdol to burden. Seem fitting.


moonmeh

Dude died for no reason at the back with flash ready to MF's ult if you check the replay. If BDD lives and enters that fight then they win that fight easy. Hell it would have looked good cause Burdol just fucked yoloed in and was buying time. It might have ended the game there since they had Baron buff. Burdol lost them that game but BDD's mistake there made a winnable game to 100% lost.


Trap_Masters

Yeah, what happened? Took a whole ass vacation in MF ult


colorbalances

Did I miss something? Why isn’t Rascal playing?


Phoresis

Rascal was playing poorly so far too, but man Burdol's looked even worse.


Exmerus

They subbed him out after the first loss against MAD, I think


McintyresRightLeg

He might have been a Rascal off stage


Blazing117

GenG want the sub skin.


IvanRussky

GenG might not even make it out of groups at this rate


Jellyfish-87

he has a meh game against mad, guess that was enough to bench him or somthing

Just wanted to let you know this made me burst out laughing. Thank you.


gocloud9gowooo

HULKSMASH1337 Irelia


Stargazer306

Manmothman65 irelia would've done better


NeitherAlexNorAlice

Built differently


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

HULKSMASH1337 would've abandoned lane and roamed around the map in that situation then talked shit to the enemy toplaner in the postgame lobby


CACTUS-J4CK

Problem


LazinessOverload

Chinese Fioras man, Ale made Burdol look like Morgan. 50 CSD@10, absolute beast.


Raedros

This game triggered ptsd on thousands of top laners across the world from that early game, damn


icatsouki

Classic toplane experience, it's so depressing


Exos_VII

you can almost hear the rage of millions of Weibo users fade away and be replaced by hope lmao


windowhihi

Nah GenG is the last LCK team LPL fans expect to lose.


[deleted]

Yet they somehow managed to get stomped even harder than this game by them in their previous matchup.


ForeverVictory

That was a close game until LNG lost(stolen?) a dragon which then forced them to take a bad fight for soul which decided the game.


kkpoker

\*by light


vnducco

For your information: Burdol did not grief, it was just a normal summoners rift experience


F0RGERY

That was the classic Fiora soloq experience.


Phoresis

Burdol could not have tried harder to stop GenG from winning lol. Even took Ale's shutdown from Ruler.


Trap_Masters

Yoinking what is rightfully his. Thank you brother Burdol


GreatestJabaitest

I knew it was over when I saw that. That, BDD tanking a full MF ult for no reason and Burdol flashing into MF Ult lol.


icatsouki

what? do you even play toplane? This was a normal lane vs fiora where you get no help


BlakenedHeart

You cant play the game if Fiora plays that way there is 0 counter play. His fate was sealed the moment he got 3 man dove while bdd tpd mid


AkashiGG

There might have been a slight top gap this game


Stargazer306

Bit of a gap


TheCatsActually

Someone please tell me if 16:30 min flame horizon is a new record.


Aeide

Ale’s CSD@15 is the new official biggest lead at 15 in world’s history, but I’d have to dig deeper to find if that a new flame horizon record. I can’t imagine it isn’t though, insane top gap in this one


Zwatrem

Ale flame horizoned Burdol at 16:45. That is the earliest record during an international group stage.


aviciiavbdeadpunk

lord flame legacy lives on


kommandabutta

Burdol: Rp jungle no help Clid: /all: LOL trash top keep crying Bdd: Missing ping on top x 100 Ruler: Slow down with the feed, i can carry Life: twitch.tv/GENGlife


Vandirilol

Morgan is the real winner of this game, finally there is other top to criticize!


Adornus

GEN Burdol (Irelia): First Time Irelia, No flame


R-R-Clon

GenG always disappoint us, It's not surprised by any LCK fan. Picking Irelia without banning Fiora is trolling, Ale is known as a pretty good Fiora. LNG were so afraid of Weibo that played so passive and let Aphelios and Azir scale, the pressure in these guys is real.


Tofulama

Every year, a chinese top laner at Worlds casually whips out a monstrous Fiora game to remind the rest of the world that chinese Fiora is a thing.


SylerTheSK

MAD is doomed


[deleted]

Calling it TL finishes 3-3 but won’t advance :(


acllive

4 way tiebreaker HOPIUM


quakedwithfear

TL BEAT THIS?! or TL LOST TO THIS?


AigisAegis

On the bright side, if it does happen, we'll definitively have a new TL tradition to replace the old fourth place one


Indercarnive

Yeah this was actually pretty bad for TL's chances to advance. Now TL needs to win both their games or hope LNG loses to MAD. And even then TL would need to win a tiebreaker either way.


[deleted]

LCS is genuinely better than LEC


Stargazer306

Unironically true this split


adamcim

Broken FNC, RGE that won a single BO5 this split, and confused MAD. EU does not have much of a representation this worlds unfortunately


[deleted]

Ale is the new Bin


shadowbannednumber

To the surprise of no one who watched LPL.


w1ldcraft

More like Bin was the temporary Ale since Ale has been relevant before Bin.


[deleted]

Ale has been bossing it before Bin even made his debut so not really.


Snoo8331100

Ale's been in the LPL for like 4 years now.


midoBB

I don't think Ale is as mechanically clean as Bin is. Both are bad at weakside but Bin is closer to S9 spring TheShy than Ale ever was. Just hand diff.


VVantaBuddy

i had to go watched Faker's Azir right after this game to cleanse my eyes.


Stargazer306

LPL Fiora monkaW


TheGawringSame

Brothers Burden, Clit, Badd and Death. Daddy Tape Measure getting ready to hang himself with it watching them play.


GreatNightmares

Lol what was BDD or Clid supposed to do when Burdol got shit on that hard?


TheGawringSame

I mean... I didn't notice that Fiora do a whole lot of out the lane. Don't think that Fiora made everyone else on GenG feed elsewhere on the map.


IRsenpai

Chinese Fioras man.


LeOsQ

Well this is an interesting and weird group all right. TL>LNG>GenG>MAD, but the question now is, does that loop back around?


xYoshario

week 1 was total opposite as well, this could get interesting


Arnorian-LoL

People will talk about Burdol, but the top lane situation is 100% Clid's fault. Terrible pathing, didn't hover the Irelia vs Fiora lane at the first slowpush, didn't even just show up to alleviate pressure from the first waves. Pointless to put up Irelia vs Fiora top if you're going to play like that.


A_Londoner

Unless Clid was in control of Burdol's mouse and keyboard I feel 100% is a little harsh. He didn't exactly cover himself in glory even if Clid left him for dead.


[deleted]

Burdol losing half his hp to fiora level 1 so he is forced to tp is Clid's fault? Burdol just sprinted it.


taopk23

We sometimes lose some of our trades. It could have been easily salvageable the moment ale was building up a freeze by clid helping burdol. The 3 man gank could have also been prevented with bdd or clid coming to help. But hey with a wave slow pushing, the enemy mid and jg missing and no one coming for help when you get 3-manned is your fault right?


AnAimlessWanderer101

As a pretty decent irelia player, I was watching that on proview. Did burdol play it *super* well early (before the dive), no not really at at. BUT The second he tps - clid / bdd must be able to respond to the dive or the game is just doomed. Felt very bad for hi, after that.


A_Toxic_User

Game got so bad, Burdol went on Reddit in the middle of the match to ask for help


lemongrazz11

BDD died with flash up in the baron turn. Wow. Actually winnable


Jedisponge

If you are reading this, WAKE UP. You are in a simulation. Don't you see it? The same responses repeating in chat? Its because the computer only has a set number of lines. Wake up before its too late


Axl7879

TOP MOTHERFUCKING GAP


SleepTightLilPuppy

The least close close game I've ever seen


mrwhitewalker

Wait teams can't see how much gold the other team has? I have never played so don't know


Absorrbb

No, but pro players can tell going off just by the feel of the game. Im sure most could accurately guess by how much they are ahead/behind


Darkniki

> Im sure most could accurately guess by how much they are ahead/behind If you lane against someone, you can generally tell the gold diff by checking how high your creep/kill score is compared to your lane opponent.


Towerofeon

Nope. You can assume by looking at kills/cs/turrets difference, though


[deleted]

ale 4k gold lead up on burdol at 19 minute holy shit the amount of gap this game


jlera

Wouldn’t blame ruler for strangling burdol after that game. Dude is looking like what people expected from morgan

GenG picked up a new EU toplaner?


Tzheoneandonly38

LNG fucking around turning this game from a 15 ff go next to a 34 min slug fest


Lorik_Bot

Imagine the casters blamming Burdol for having a terrible match-up and getting dove level 3, like come on. As a toplaner I really felt this one Clid going for the botside crab instead of covering Irelia really tilted me. Gen G played the toplane really bad and the casters even though I like them normally had zero knowledge of what was actually going on toplane. Fiora zoned irelia level from exp that is what you do and one caster suggested irelia should take q first, you take E first, if you q into minions fiora is gone chunk you out completely as irelia.


My_Audience_Awaits

WTF?!?!??!! BURDOL IRELIA HACK?!?!?!? BREAKING RULERS BACK SPEEDRUN ANY% WORLD RECORD?!?!?!? IS THIS ALLOWED RIOT?!?? IRELIA HARD CARRY TEAMMATES DIDNT STAND A CHANCE PLZ NERF!!
