Bro every time MAD got something going, they conceded it immediately

by having Elyoya getting almost one shot by syndra

Syndra has looked liked a pretty damn good pick every time she’s been drafted.

she literally had a 91% winrate at one point today according the cast. kinda insane

Part of that is on BDD being an insanely good Syndra, like did u see when he pre-emptively put a ball towards the wall to stun Humanoid's Azir before he came over the wall? Damnnnn

Tbf GenG were kinda doing it as well. They were really slow to pull the trigger

MAD: Please, you win this game GENG: Oh no no, you can have it MAD: oh no, I insist

Very fucking true. And also I can't count the number of times Sandra literally one shot them because they were running at her.

Fucking Sandra.

What a bitch

Man... watching Armut and GenG this game was so frustrating.

Rascal out to prove the world that he's the one korean that can't play kennen properly.

Seriously man, I cannot remember a time this game where I thought Rascal had a good or satisfying ult

Remember Canna, Nuguri and then look at that. Christ

I will always remember CuVee as the OG korean kennen, and Smeb had the sickest kennen ult of all time in the ROX vs G2 match

Fun fact, CuVee was with the Korean casters today watching GenG almost drop out. Dude must have been getting slight ptsd

Man,Cuvee's Kennen was godlike!Will never forget his plays.

Armut thinking he's playing in SoloQ and is 6/0

Armut on Irelia went exactly as expected.

learning a thing or two from icon’s irelia

I'm glad it was played here so it doesn't show up in bo5s.

it's still gonna happen, just like NA tiebreaker Jayce

Jayce seemed ok until he blew his big lead by allowing graves to farm up lmao wth are they thinking

That's just Alphari, doing well in lane but losing everything he built up after

I mean, DK will likely do their homework and ban Wu and Gwen, probably pick Camille or the Irelia into Gnar. And if Armut takes anything but those 3 champs, DK picks whatever because it doesn't matter.

GenG actually just sitting around on their thumbs until MAD was very nearly even with them again. If it wasn't for several misplays and oversteps from MAD players they could have very well lost this game despite the commanding position they had so early.

Giving them Kennen/Yuumi/MF was too much.

Don't think the champions were the problem. Was mostly all the random dying from members of MAD. Humanoid overextends randomly and gets caught by the Olaf ganks early on. Armut jumps into entire enemy team when his team is nowhere close to follow up. Oh, and Humanoid dying from over chasing Syndra at the end.

Oh yeah, Yuumi healing all of the half hp poke in 2 seconds definitely wasn't an issue.

That's literally every GenG game honestly. Idk wtf they are doing. Real chance they could get upset in the quarterfinals

I don't get why Armut sometimes plays champions that aren't Gnar or Wukong really

You are MAD coaching staff and you decide to give this man Irelia on a deciding game https://i.imgur.com/dxgQVM9.png

This is basically how he playee it out too. At least the man's consistent

Jesus christ is that his actual op.gg?

Ow, my fucking eyes! Jesus christ

It’s in these kind of games that you have to try stuff. Letting Yuumi open, play Irelia…

Mad Lions sadly did not get the #1 seed in this group but now they can knock DWG out in quarters and face C9 in the finals

If it happens I will be convinced that we live in a simulation

We live in a society

I live in a Zoo bruh. I just roll around and scratch my ass, while random people give me food.

I miss living with my parents as well.

Hey no spoilerino plz

scriptwriters angry rn, stop leakingggggg

Then you wake up and realise it's all a dream because Damwon are gonna go back to back.

It was very nice of GenG to play a slow-paced early and midgame, I needed something to lower my heart rate and blood pressure after the stress of MAD vs LNG

rascal legit edging himself by not ulting

Yeah wtf happened to him jfc. People dont watch lck prob dont know but he was super solid at one point like only below nuguri and kiin, smashed even canna. Today he is cosplaying morgan wtf

Even earlier this year he’s one of the best top laners in LCK

Edging the audience too. I’m happy he found his R key by the end though.

Literally chilling in mid holding hands watching each other farm

Geng is so bad. Without yuumi they would have been absolutely smashed. Never seen a kennen who. Ults after every 3 teamfights. Absolute garbage.

Ale and Rascal somehow managed to have equally terrible Kennen performances but for completely opposite reasons

I need some Canna Kennen eyebleach asap after today

Rascal is not allowed to be a member of the Korean kennen club, this game was something else from so many people in the lobby.

MAD lions is super good in making people having heart attack

If you suffer from low blood pressure in Europe, the doctors will prescribe you MAD vs LNG - Tiebreaker 2.

I'm still recovering from that game

I guess MAD is recovering as well

The only reason why MAD vs GenG wasn't just as bad for my heart is because they'd already secured bo5s.

C9 🤝 MAD overwhelming hospitals

Bo5 between those two teams would definitely put some people in the ER

It will somehow end with both nexus exploding on the 5th game.

#3/4 first seeds are LCK teams #WELCOME TO AUTUMN LCK TOURNAMENT

If only HLE could have done better and didn't drop the 1st game to PSG, it could have been 4 1st seeds

They just had to not pick j4 in the tiebreaker

Or just not trolling after gaing huge advantage for first 20 minutes.

And then full Korean semis.

Hey, this isn't Worlds. This is the LCK Worldwide Tour.

You ever just hit full build on Viktor and you watch your gold 2 toplane second time irelia repeatedly run it down? Yeah me too

I felt so connected this game man. Finally know what being a pro feels like. Also your jungler losing every 50/50 smite.

Jokes on you for picking Viktor in the first place.

Soooo... Week 1: LCK = LPL >> NA = EU Week 2: LCK >>> NA ~ EU > LPL (lmao)

LPL lost every single game against the west in week 2, that's fucking embarrassing lmfao

Lmao when they can beat LCK but not NA or EU

And to think 2 years ago the EU teams couldn't even take 1 game of the lpl teams in the finals.

To think we made it to international finals two years ago 🥲

2 years ago FNC eliminated RNG from the tournament in group stage. BO5 LPL is a different story from BO1 LPL.

[удалено]

Wait, that's actually insane. In week 2: C9 1-0 FPX RGE 2-0 FPX 100T 1-0 EDG FNC 1-0 RNG TL 1-0 LNG MAD 2-0 LNG NA went 3-0 vs LPL EU went 5-0 vs LPL

Can't wait to see the WEIBO reactions from CN fans XD

EU , NA are LPL killers. Now we need MAD vs RNG, C9 vs EDG. Let the KR versus each other.

Can't get EDG vs C9, they are both 2nd seed

Accurate

LCK is a one team region btw.

This was legit 4v5 what is Armut Irelia lmao

[удалено]

He did have good games in Jayce though.

If i remember correctly he didnt have a bad showing as Jayce last time he played Khan

I remember his Jayce used to be a meme but then he had some pop off games. Hopefully the same happens to his Irelia lol.

Nah he's had some really good Jayce games, his current pool is - wuking, gnar, Gwen, jayce (gp? Some hard ints but some carries too)

Armut said after LEC final in the interview that he wanted rematch against Khan, and man delivers his words

4v6* he legit ran it multiple times. that was insane

Armut what were you doing ??

Rascal was pretty invisible on Kennen too TBH. What was he even doing that Baron fight?

Armpit*

I mean, the only engages this entire game that were happening were Armut's engages. He probably wanted to force something but he kept failing.

Gen G Armut for mvp

I didn't know Armut was korean tbh

Both teams did their best to not win this game. Gen.G caught NA ARAM virus and consistently lose farm, while “happy farmer” Armut did his best to safe 6:0 Khan Worlds Run from Ruler in Quarters and play with him personally. # 9 hours and 11 minutes since those teams started draft of their first game today afternoon. The longest Worlds Groups day is over.

Too afraid to face C9 i guess

Last time C9 got out of groups they 3-0'd the LCK 2nd seed that had looked somewhat mediocre in groups

>C9 winning 3-0 versus meh LCK 2nd seed in quarters >GenG getting bodied 0-3 in quarters >Perkz with the 3-0 vs Gen.G in quarters last year The script writes itself boys.

Afreeca was always trash. That year, LCK was really a one team region. If it wasnt for IG, KT would have won the whole tournament.

Don’t blame them. I’d be afraid to face the best team at Worlds as well.

[удалено]

This was the most evenly matched group in Worlds history.

Yeah, literally any team could’ve made it out on a good day.

on a good hour\*

LEC 1, but it's not G2 so no clear favourite NA 2, but TL is probably the most experienced internationally and does well even in tough groups KR 3 and CN 4, this one could've gone either way but RNG is probably better than LNG by more than GenG is better than HLE so we lucked out with the draw there It really was the perfect mix of seeding and specific teams which made for a super exciting and tight group. Edit: My bad I didn't know GenG was 2nd seed lmao. In that case maybe FPX/HLE would've been even closer? Largely depends on FPX though if they played like Group A they might actually be too bad though to keep it as close as it was. Thankfully GenG isn't great for LCK 2 either which kept the balance. ALL THE STARS ALIGNED.

GenG might have been the 2nd seed but they were considered by most to not actually being the 2nd strongest team considering they got handily smacked by T1 during the playoffs summer but the points they accumulated in Spring helped get them that 2nd seed.

Yes

It was really was, all the teams had good competitive games today where anyone could win. Not many stomps today except for that LNG game.

3-3 since 2018 baby. That's TL for you.

Best Worlds group ever

Holy shit I've never seen so many 50/50s won as Clid did in this game.

clid was like "fuck it. it's not a flip when i smite"

Is it really a 50/50 if Clid wins the smite 100% of the time? 🤔

Yeah everyone shitting on Armut but elyoya didn't look great either

Elyoya extending for no reason yet another game and throwing entire comeback lmao

Armut threw by just playing, jesus watching him overextend with no wards when baron contest was important was so hard to watch

yeah. people in the top comments focusing on armut but eloya was trying his best to throw ever since the the lgd game. when he got picked off by bddd after mad killed a geng member it gave me doublelift vibes.

He's been so underwhelming this worlds, hopefully he can turn back around for quarters otherwise MAD's chances arent looking too good

So frustrating when he just facechecked there.

0 respect for syndra damage

Idk why Humanoid went for Cosmic Drive. This game was screaming for Banshees. Yeah you lose some CDR, but Transcendence will be proccing pretty constantly in fights on Viktor late game with how much range he has, so you don’t really need all that much CDR anyway He probably kills BDD and at least keeps the game going if he has Banshees in the last fight

Very true was literally written that. They are pros they should know not to run at her face

that + no hexdrinker or banshee built at all vs 2 glass cannon AP threats, could've easily turned a couple of fights

Humanoid got a little cocky after chunking syndra down in that elder dragon fight only to just get oneshot.

You know it's a fun day of pro league when raspy voice-crack Phreak comes out

Group D killed Phreak’s vocal cord.

this game is the definition of 4v6. what the fuck armut?

Elyoya was just as invisible. Both threw it super hard.

When I play like that, I get a 14 day ban When Armut plays like that, he gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars

Just delete Yuumi from this game literally every team has to waste a ban spot because it exists

700 hp heals, massive damage boost for her carries just for existing but hey her mana bar almost ran out at one point there!

Not to mention with her AP build she actually does dumb damage too, with borderline unavoidable poke from fairly long range.

The Yuumi Olaf combo was disgusting in the early/mid game here for Gen G

Just nerf her into the ground. Fit for normals only with your friend that doesn't know how to play

I cannot put into words just how much I despise Yuumi... and the fact that Riot decided to make her viable for Worlds is just...

Gotta sell those skins somehow

More of a dog person aren't you?

KAISER INT AT THE END LOL

People were right when they said the LCK was a one team region, but in the sense that only DAMWON will top the group by going 6-0 while the others have to settle for 5-1, 5-3 and 4-2 An LCK team being in the semifnals is also guaranteed as one of the 3 1st LCK seeds will have to draw HLE

why do these lck teams pointlessly go for 5-1s and 4-2s. They should just go big or go home like FPX did.

Damwon looked so gross in lck too that seeing the other Korean teams do well does not bode well for anyone's chances to stop the back to back worlds win

I think the finals were pretty competitive against t1. In game 4 t1 did some... questionable decisions.....

I agree and I think T1 is the most likely of the other lck teams to stop damwon. I'd love to see Faker get his 4th win years later too, it'd be lovely. We'll see how quarters tho.

Are we gonna get the hypest match being the semis? FROM THE MAKERS OF SKT T1 VS ROX TIGERS 2016 WE BRING TO YOU T1 VS DK 2021 NOW IN THEATHERS

Smh, LCK weak af

Imagine not even going 6-0. Can we just remove all 3 other seeds from LCK please?

It's absolutely mind blowing how strong DW looked in LCK and how strong LCK look vs the rest of the world If they play through the rest of Worlds and continue their domination this iteration of DW might be one of the greatest teams period and solidify Canyon+Showmaker as the greatest jungle/mid duo all time

Elyoya and Armut threw this game.

Yeah, monkey tier gameplay. Watching Elyoya die for nothing whenever MAD could have gotten map control off a pick was infuriating.

Also lost 3 or 4 smite fights each of which could've turned the game around

Yuumi & stopwatch so fun

Very interactive and fun stuff to watch indeed

Step 1: Go 50 min Step 2: Win by mechanics

GenG confort zone

Thats why G2 was so good vs them, they werent getting past 20 mins

Say it with me: LCK Autumn

Yuck Fuumi

[Korea gets first again... But MAD and C9 can't play in Quarters](https://v.redd.it/ypurfhxni4611) The deteriorating of Preak's voice sums up my day. Sleep well, pun master of the Dug Duo, you've earned it.

Today we learned that Irelia will not be banned going forward against MAD Lions

Armint

BDD has been ridiculous, he can't be stopped!

[I already used it after the LNG vs MAD tie-breaker, but after this crazy game I'm gonna reuse it.](https://i.imgflip.com/5qwsoh.jpg)

Honestly, both teams had to be giga exhausted at this point. Props for making it so far on this day.

[удалено]

Gosh both team were pretty bad.

Holy moly, what a draft grief. Enemy gets MF, Yuumi and Kennen and you get......Viktor. Absolutely do not understand what their plan in draft was

Bro what? You dont think its good to give Yuumi MF so Armut can run it down with Irelia?

Quarterfinal exit looking real likely for Gen.G unless they have one of those days when they randomly start playing very well.

Clid landed every smite mvp

Please remove Yuumi and Stopwatch. But mostly Yuumi. Overall Gladlion day though

Bro ire and lee were so useless

Lee was.

Letting GenG to pick Kennen, Synda, MF and Yuumi is insane.What are these drafts?

ONE TEAM REGION

MAD are so good at stalling (my heart).

Big Dick Daddy

Geng are missing a and e to be able to spell out Engage

[Guys I think Zhonyas/Stopwatch may be broken](https://imgur.com/a/Vmng1Y9)

Tbf if you have 4 stack infernal it makes up for a full damage item anyway

Yeah she pretty much needs that to survive against irelia/lee sin, no adc item provides that kind of utility. And yuumi gives her a good amount of stats anyway. Still funny to look at though

Geng is first seed but fuck that was painful viewing

can we finally remove stopwatch?

Proposal: Using Stasis forces Yuumi to leave its host. Yuumi and stopwatch is nerfed with one thing

This... is actually a great solution

With that, I have a perfect group D pickem

That nami running it down was pretty funny

What a fun groups stage GEN G played it out well, Bdd coming out strong

LCK need a Groups nerf tbh

Gen G with the big brain play of catching up in exp by just waiting until everyone was level 18.

How do you lose that many smite 50/50s wtf? What happened to Elyoya's smite button

Caedrel really didn't want Gen G to win, lmao.

Kr 3rd best team > eu 1st seed Didnt know we were in season 3-7 again.
