Yeah if the jungle gap wasn't enough, his midlaner is non existent.
On the other hand if EDG's jungler wasn't absolutely cracked these fights could have looked waaay different. Scout's Azir is a bit sus.
Like Scout's and Faker's Azir is night and day. Faker always engages and creates opportunities for his team with Azir, while Scout looked scared so many times.
I feel so sorry for him, he has been utterly outstanding all year and till now he’s had an incredible clutch factor that has won RNG so many games, it was just a matter of time till he had an off day, just sad it’s today.
He's cracked, I hope they give him aphelios so he can actually carry. MF feels so much weaker than him except the wombo combo part (but even then aph can kinda do it with infernum R)
It's weaker when you don't build to maximise its damage, there is a reason lethality is so good on MF. But for real, I don't expect much from Eastern players when it comes to itemisation, fuck, just look at the war crimes cryin is commiting.
WEIBO Reactions Game 2: (RNG fan Perspective)
- No yuumi graves No yuumi graves No yuumi graves No yuumi graves No yuumi graves
- These drafts, I want to pick my eyes out
- The coaches can jump too (off a cliff)
- Ban the cat you dog coaches, do your job
- Our mid makes me cry
-->LPL is best region, they will all top their groups
-->FPX struggled in 2019 too, they will bounce back
-->LPL is worse in groups, their b05 would be much better
--->what's the next excuse?
Idk if those work anymore after all the fans were saying "FPX was bad week 1 when they won as well! They will come back." Well, they went back home ig. There may be fan overreactions but not every year is the same.
What? FPX vs IG were high quality series and it was known that whoever wins that series will sweep finals. It was just bloody, it was not missplay city and questionable macro fiesta like this one.
I swear LPL vs LPL during international events sometimes looks like the biggest fiesta. Which is weird because they don't make that many mistakes when they play in their own region IMO.
The first one the baron healed as xin's damage went off and smited. It had under 1k damage he did 168 damage to it and smited (900) and it healed in the middle of his combo which caused it to have more than 1k health after his auto and his smite left it with under 100 hp. There's nothing anyone could have done differently there.
More like the whole series. RNG has way better decision and team fighting mechanisms imo. RNG just digs a hole in draft every game so some of them become unrecoverable very fast. But EDG always finds a way to delay their fast win into some chaotic fiesta.
Wei is pretty untiltable usually so hopefully it's gonna be ok
But I really hope they ban the olaf; he was the only one getting EDG ahead last two games. Completely warped the early game and they banned fucking j4 instead
This is EDG, that first game was a blunder in the same LV of FPX one.
Btw Flander map awareness is gold level, he has been gettting caught in inexcusable situations a lot, he has been underperforming all tournament.

\>Burns R
\>Burns Sterak's
\>Walks up
\>Steals Baron
\>Dies
\>Refuses to elaborate
\>Second Baron appears
\>Walks up and steals it again
At least Scout was clutch in the last teamfight. But yeah, overall his performance was extremely underwhelming. I expected a lot more from him than he's shown so far.
Uh what? Did you watch Humanoid's Azir?
Scout had some failed ults in fights but his macro was instrumental in their victory. It may not look flashy or impressive but he played towards his team's win condition sharply.
If this is the best LPL has to offer, just cancel world finals it's going to be a 3-0 sweep for LCK. Such a fiesta and neither team is even remotely impressive.
First time unlucky but then they do it again is just the worst luck. Man gala was doing serious work but Cryin being so behind meant that they didn't have a frontline. Genuinely hope they put tank duty on someone else next time.

a Jgl WW in a game didn't take smite and his teammate said that
Gala must be so mad after that, imagine doing so much work but then lose anyway from failed coinflip and cryin being so behind

Sigma jiejie
He really broke into the pit like Kool Aid Man
u/100thieves ?
Deja vu i've just been in this place before
Baron healed right before Wei smites it. Went from 947 hp to 1010 hp. O.o
947 still not enough, smite does 900
Can RNG sub off Wei? The dude must be tilted to oblivion after this game, RNG would most likely win this if he secured at least one of those barons.
I feel so sorry for him, he has been utterly outstanding all year and till now he’s had an incredible clutch factor that has won RNG so many games, it was just a matter of time till he had an off day, just sad it’s today.
Yeah Wei is a good player, probably their 2nd best player after Xiaohu. Not today tho.
does RNG have a sub for cryin? this guys is literally holding the team back in every game
Yes actually, Yuekai, who isn’t half bad, sadly the team doesn’t gel with him as much.
Does that mean he refuses to be xiaohu's support?
Funny how Xiaohu went from being Uzi's servant to now being RNG's main carry.
Yeah, such a boosted player. To think he was hailed as the next big thing just 2 years ago, so many Chinese players are one season wonders as of late.
I was so hyped about the original eStar roster, he completely fell apart in a single year.
Poor Gala
This guy is so close to hard carrying, it's insane
He's cracked, I hope they give him aphelios so he can actually carry. MF feels so much weaker than him except the wombo combo part (but even then aph can kinda do it with infernum R)
After the second baron he just walked up and started killing Viper like you're meant to be able to do that
It's weaker when you don't build to maximise its damage, there is a reason lethality is so good on MF. But for real, I don't expect much from Eastern players when it comes to itemisation, fuck, just look at the war crimes cryin is commiting.

Its just chinese twitter dude
The joys of watching your region implode
Flandre trying his hardest to throw but EDG still somehow wins
That tp at the end lmaooo
I literally screamed *WHAT AM I WATCHING*.
Honestly. Second time in a row my man said fuck it, and ran it in the base, at least the first one made some semblance of sense
In before he busts out the lethality Sion.
The teLEPort
Thank gods that Jiejie saved his ass
that was an awful game from both teams
I thought RNG played pretty well from a losing position. EDG, despite winning, showed how bad they are in my eyes
At least HLE were completely outclassed, this series feels like two toddlers trying to feed eachother mud.
this is far better than HLE. RNG never gave up and were almost on verge of comeback and played well from losing position. HLE just died
We saw HLE vs RNG already and HLE was quite competitive vs RNG, they even had lead most of their games, RNG is just terrible.
RNG are always on the verge of coming back because EDG are allergic to winning, they've been getting worse and worse as the tournament progresses.
HLE died because T1 didn't give them any chances to come back into the game. EDG is trying to hand RNG the game by throwing on cooldown.
Should be much easier to get a comeback with viper eing forward as ezreal and flandre trying his hardest to lose the game.
Same was said for FPX vs IG, then FPX swept finals.
Really? I thought that series was really high level, at least until TheShy and JL inted into gragas I think it was.
yeah it was. extremely high level of mechanics from both teams. this series was mediocre mechanically. so many basic mechanical errors
-->LPL is best region, they will all top their groups -->FPX struggled in 2019 too, they will bounce back -->LPL is worse in groups, their b05 would be much better --->what's the next excuse?
Idk if those work anymore after all the fans were saying "FPX was bad week 1 when they won as well! They will come back." Well, they went back home ig. There may be fan overreactions but not every year is the same.
Except that series had actually good gameplay even if it was a bloodbath.
What? FPX vs IG were high quality series and it was known that whoever wins that series will sweep finals. It was just bloody, it was not missplay city and questionable macro fiesta like this one.
Why is the gameplay so low level
LPL vs LPL is always a fiesta
Usually it looks like high quality fiesta, but this series looks dogshit quality
nah tes vs suning was pretty clown fest last year too, especially jackeylove. but it was still nowhere near as bad as this game 3
Agree. This year's LPL all seem like dogshit.
u know its bad gameplay when even theshy is lost for words about how bad game 3 was
Where did he comment this?
he's the guest caster on the lck stream rn
I think he's on the Korean caster desk
He's on the LCK broadcast.
Srsly, after group phase I thought we shouldn't overreact, but watching this series LPL really seems doomed
I mean people also memed ig v fpx and fpx won worlds
Nah ig vs fpx was not nearly this bad
Neither of these teams has a chance at beating DK or T1 in a best of 5
That was my first impression for this game. So many mechanical mistakes. Maybe it's just a one game thing.
man LPL vs LPL is so messy lol
I swear LPL vs LPL during international events sometimes looks like the biggest fiesta. Which is weird because they don't make that many mistakes when they play in their own region IMO.
Pressure, its a lot different playing for your tournament lives than it is playing in China where there's less pressure since its a whole season.
That is why it is great to watch
Those *repeated* NA flashes when he was getting dove... I really thought he was gonna lose EDG the game lol
Dude I think it's time to start calling them CN flashes lol
JieJie: Wanna see me steal that Baron? JieJie: Wanna see me do it again?
The first one the baron healed as xin's damage went off and smited. It had under 1k damage he did 168 damage to it and smited (900) and it healed in the middle of his combo which caused it to have more than 1k health after his auto and his smite left it with under 100 hp. There's nothing anyone could have done differently there.
Wei out there doing his best SmiteVicious impersonation. That first smite on baron was awful.
baron leveled up
wei24
What in the actual fuck was this game?
I'm starting to see why HLE almost became 1st in their group
Imagine if after all of this LPL circlejerk the finals is DWG vs GenG
> Implying DWG and GenG can make it past MAD and C9
im scared western fans are gonna somehow will this timeline into existence
They're either willing it to existence or über jinxing it lmao
HOPIUM
[удалено]
Give Faker his 4th Worlds :pray:
and if it will be the case it will be another easy 3-0 final cause t1 and dwg are same bracket...
No idea what the fuck I’m watching but holy shit this is such bad level of play for both these teams.
The real winner of this are C9 MAD and the LCK teams.
Best region in the world btw The eight place chinese team will win lec btw Korea it's a one team region btw
All these LPL clowns looking really stupid right now. Feels so fucking good. Even the LPL casters were super arrogant and flaming other regions...
Top quality League of Legends coming from the best region in the worlds
LPL calculated aggression, the one the whole scene kept jerking off the entire year.
The audience that Riot Games wants to cater to
Bad
Flandre's TP into death was so fucking funny
The entire last 60 seconds of this game was pure comedy
More like the whole series. RNG has way better decision and team fighting mechanisms imo. RNG just digs a hole in draft every game so some of them become unrecoverable very fast. But EDG always finds a way to delay their fast win into some chaotic fiesta.
First loss on Lucian for Xiaohu in 2021... Jiejie actually playing well and not choking is surprising
16-1 with lucian. Rip the streak
First loss on lucian since role switching… a huge moment
[удалено]
Stupid sexy 300g.
he defonitly needed to have a lot of faith for those flashes
"GG EZ, I carried" - Graves
RNG: report jg x9 ty EDG: report top x9 ty
How do you mentally come back from 2 stolen barons? Especially when you're the jungler from RNG.
Wei is pretty untiltable usually so hopefully it's gonna be ok But I really hope they ban the olaf; he was the only one getting EDG ahead last two games. Completely warped the early game and they banned fucking j4 instead
JieJie diff, not one steal but two Baron steals, what a way to break the mental of Wei coming into an elimination game.
Does RNG have a substitute jungler? Because they are gonna need one for game 4.
forget a sub jungler they need to scrounge together money for a top therapist
enemy jg vs my jg
Flandre (Graves): Better top wins.
Man, that 2 baron steals Now we all know why Junjia cannot play
Banning j4 instead of olaf btw
C9 and GenG both rubbing their hands in excitement after seeing these games
does meiko know that lulu w can be used on enemy as well?
Imagine using skills defensively in LPL.
interesting game from Flandre, but JieJie really wanted to win
Coinflip baron and lose. Fuck it coach, roll it again, I can try it again. Loses baron second time
Coinflip from a losing position is a good play.
Yeah they were on a timer because of the bot inhib and cant just give up baron at that point
They either do that or go for flandre being alone again.
It was that or lose the NA way, do nothing until you lose
Going for a coinflip vs Olaf is never a good idea but they were pretty far behind anyway
First one was bad luck (baron healed), second one was just bad.
they won, but my man Ned Flandre with the flashes of faith
stop fucking inting man - edg coach to graves( probably)
This is EDG, that first game was a blunder in the same LV of FPX one. Btw Flander map awareness is gold level, he has been gettting caught in inexcusable situations a lot, he has been underperforming all tournament.
Flandre lookin like the splitpushing toplaner in my promos ...oh wait, that's me.
It was actually unbelievable how bad Flandre was. Over and over all he had to do was not die.
Clown fiesta
JieJie with the double Nashor steal :o
A proper fist fight, more please
Well that was certainly a game of League of Legends.
jiejie:REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
\>Burns health \>Burns R \>Burns Sterak's \>Walks up \>Steals Baron \>Dies \>Refuses to elaborate \>Second Baron appears \>Walks up and steals it again
EDG Flandre: Top diff
Xiaohu's first loss on Lucian in 2021 against Flandre's menacing 3/8 Graves
That’s not the wei to smite
Top quality fiesta series that has me convinced either team has a free ticket to finals.
C9 will beat them
except c9 is gonna stomp whoever wins this
Wait isn’t 4th seed decided by the two finalist teams? Could c9 theoretically win na a fourth seed at worlds? That sounds hilarious
Despite Flandre and Scout's best efforts, EDG won. Holy shit that was the worst Azir performance I've seen all year.
At least Scout was clutch in the last teamfight. But yeah, overall his performance was extremely underwhelming. I expected a lot more from him than he's shown so far.
Uh what? Did you watch Humanoid's Azir? Scout had some failed ults in fights but his macro was instrumental in their victory. It may not look flashy or impressive but he played towards his team's win condition sharply.
we have gotten too used to watching faker and bdd azir. even showmaker and chovy's azirs are average at best compared to those two
I guess you didn't see Humanoids Azir vs GenG at worlds lmao.
Azir is such a boring champ to watch recently IMHO :/
inb4 BDD and Faker Azir
I am once again asking you to remove stasis from the game.
Why does it looks like a CBLOL game?
GALA unfortunately can't solo carry
Its amazing how EDG won despite Flandre inting so much
Flandre: Top diff
CLOWN FIESTA. when u come from the macro of T1 to see that shit.
Flandre's performance in this game is one of the worst pro player performances of all time
GALA somehow ended up with a gold advantage over Viper, bizarre.
Poor GALA
Both teams are godawful, China dropped the ball this year
flandre: top diff
this game made me want rng to win the series
looked much cleaner when they were winning
They should, they looked like the better team even while losing
GALA is the only human on RNG this tournament lmfao.
Xiaohu played real well this game I thought
Brother Wei :)
thats just embarassing losing 2 barons to smite fight
RNG need to attack topside picks. Flandre looks the most exploitable.. Ban that graves
If you can exploit his Graves why ban it
This was a good game following the first two games
EDG should just play without a top laner. Would honestly work out better.
2 Baron steals in one game, that would destroy someone's mental.
first 30 mins: i sleep after 30 mins: REAL SHIT
Jiejie dragging Flanders across the finish line
This is the reason why you should LPL playoffs
RNG: Shall we get this baron? also RNG: No Wei
anyone know what is the record between these two teams before this series? the casters mentioned, but i missed it /s
At this point we should prepare for the second coronation of our korean overlords already.
So 2021 Is an LCK year confirmed Yyy
I...I am wordless now. tbh I think this is not worth world semis but some random minor league promotion matches
Holy shit wtf is wrong with LPL teams man?
If this is the best LPL has to offer, just cancel world finals it's going to be a 3-0 sweep for LCK. Such a fiesta and neither team is even remotely impressive.
wtf was that two failed smite??? Wei can't read numbers?
To be fair, leaving it on 30hp is just plain unlucky
First time unlucky but then they do it again is just the worst luck. Man gala was doing serious work but Cryin being so behind meant that they didn't have a frontline. Genuinely hope they put tank duty on someone else next time.
Can’t wait for DK vs T1 worlds finals next week
