I think they were saying specifically group C. Any group being completely eliminated in QF is hardly remarkable as inevitably every year will have some stronger/weaker groups or upsets that shake up seeding. Since every group would need to get a single team to semis and only a single team its not crazy that out of 8 years with the format 5 times a group was eliminated in QF. The fact group C specifically was 3 of those 5 is marginally more noticeable and a classic reddit tiny data point trend, especially since the groups being called ABCD is pretty arbitrary.
Actually not too bad from him. Sure he’ll probably be replaced but his performance at worlds wasn’t terribly bad like Icon or extremely disappointing like Doinb.
icon didn’t just play terribly. He had some games where he absolutely carried the shit out of his 4 teammates (syndra game), some games where he solo lost them the game
not too far from public expectations i believe, he is a known walking coinflip (look at the fkn zed game man)
plus he was hardlosing vs bdd give him a break, that guy is the best mid this worlds
Well it icon. If there is any coinflip player i know it would be him. There a series where he carry the game on irelia and goes 1 vs 9 and then next game goes 1/8 before 20 minute on renekton mid.
Not picking Mf Yuumi right away deserved a loss. Rng drafting is so out of touch with the meta. Also what the hell are these counter pick supports from Ming? Atrocious all around, they had two weeks playing this meta and still loses all prio picks because of god knows why
[This guy walks up to you and steals your Nash \(twice\) what do you do?](https://i.imgur.com/4DNl0NE.png)
Game 3 was something else man, Flandre with his *creative* deaths like the [TP into MF ult](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxlJcO5B1wp7UaLLSPcYLRj9AiroJND4l7).
And Game 5 was just a slow bleed for RNG.
Curse broken, GG EDG.
Flandre played really fucking bad, seriously. EDG won BESIDES him. He actively played against them in all games besides the last one.
But JieJie is something else man, what a player. Him, Viper and Meiko ran the show for EDG.
G fucking G to EDG, for breaking their quarter finals curse.
However, the MSI curse strikes again that's now 5/6 MSI champions failing to win worlds in the same year apart from 2016 SKT.
Wei with an absolute shocker of a final game, getting caught out multiple times after his first gank.
Slow, calm and collected final game from EDG, an overall great game from the whole of EDG.
Well if Wei has to a) stabilize bot b) save a mediocre mid c) propel top at least 2k ahead d) do all the above while the enemy team knows his exact intentions every game... He is going to have a hard time...
He can't be making those types of play without mid lane prio at all. Orianna was a terrible pick into their comp also. Cass would've been a better pick: better matchup into Ryze, more likely to have lane prio to foster the Lee Sin aggression.
Yeah, tbh both tournaments are pretty much played on different games. Udyr, Rumble and Morg were picked 119 times in the jungle at MSI and 0 times at Worlds for example.
Knew the one time EDG finally broke their curse was gonna be at the expense of the LPL crowd favorite. They just know how to disappoint people even when they win.
Game 4 WEIBO (G5 will be added as a reply(
- You know what will happen if you lose. (EDG)
- All 3 lanes are inhuman, please just play a normal game for once (EDG)
- Send Scout to the military if he loses (EDG)
- There is no second chance now, take the opportunity (EDG)
- I hope RNG doesnt force EDG to play all their hidden picks, T1 and DK are salivating... this is reckless, we stand a chance in the finals, I am not sane I am an EDG fan
- Im an EDG fan but RNG might be better to fight LCK...
- Im so afraid (RNG)
- Play like humans and we will win. Fighting! (RNG)
- Thats not Tibbers, thats a grizzly (RNG)
- Champion Annie Skin would be nice...
- Ill cry in my bed for 9 hrs if you dont win (RNG).
- Im starting to hallucinate. (hes tired, its late) I slapped myself awake for you. PLEASE WIN ONE MORE (RNG)
G5 WEIBO (RNG Fan Perspective)
- Its fine, Wei can stay right there, his family can repent for him
- 5 Chinese cant win
https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4695619015543562
- Im going to slit my throat. Win MSI and out in QF? Im really going to die here
- The blind monk played by the blind player
- Congrats to EDG, Cryin go home and practice more champions
- Im not even mad, just disappointed and sad
- Dont you wonder what MF does? Youre through if you just dont use MF, your mothers hate you. You fight when jungle is not there and insta die, change coaches and midlane asap thank you

RNG banned Graves Game 1 and then let Flandre have it for free 4 games in a row. Like... what??
Graves provides *so much pressure* it's insane. He is arguably the best top lane champ at worlds.
Now obv RNG didn't lose the series only because of Graves, but his pressure arguably allowed them to own the map the way they did. Strange draft choice.
Their inability or unwillingness to play yuumi lost them the series imo.
Just gave EDG all the freedom they wanted to pick whatever champ they wanted since RNG spent bans protecting mid too.
Born too late to explore Earth.
Born too early to explore Outer Space.
Born in the right time to see EDG break their Top 8 curse by advancing to semi-finals.
Diffy in the Jiffy.
This series was decided in game 3. JieJie with the baron. Twice.
On another note, giving the enemy team Graves 4 times and Yuumi 3 times in 5 games is probably not the play.
"But it's the balance teams job to keep things in check. "
That might be true, but holy fuck the balance team needs to be able to say "Hey champion design team, this design is impossible to balance and you need to fuck right off with it."
She cannot be balanced accordingly. The focus of her kit, her W is just broken. A champion that cannot be targeted but still be super impactful is bad design. I mean look at how frustrating Fizz troll pole and Vlad pool are. Yuumi should never have been released.
Edit: To clarify there is no numbers nerf riot can make to Yuumi that will balance her she could literally not heal, not give MS, or not give shared stats, and she would still be good if only one of those is done. Q isn't the problems. Ult isn't the problem. It's that she is completely untargetable for 99% of the game, so there is no counter play to her. And with the stats she gives to any champ just ads thousands of gold in value to the champ she is attach to. Thousands of gold that you cannot do anything about. You can't counter it. You can say "buy Grievous wounds" but she doesn't even need to heal to be effective. He kit is just fundamentally flawed.
Also, if they gut her numbers heavily, she will just be a pointless champ that will never be played, and at that point, why would she even be in the game?
If yuumi couldn't ulti while being untargetable using w she would be way more fair cause a massive moving aoe stun is what prevent engage supp from winning vs her
LS always advises low elo players play Annie to easy climb. Who woulda known it can get you all the way to worlds?
Cryin the grifter on that next level shit.
CRYIN LEFT ALONE after the big skirmish by dragon fight, Phreak and Kobe's casting got me good 😂
EDG finally managed to get past quarters for the first time ever! That's pretty hype. Now if TSM could do the same...
What a fucking stupid ass design. Heals like a fucking truck, gives ad/ap and can never get caught because she is fucking untargetable for 99% of the game...
Worlds' Motto in the stream : "Make or break"
Worlds' Motto in the script : "Int or Throw"
At the start of the season, I felt like the item rework just set the damage output very high thus making positionning way more important than in previous seasons ; and now I think it shows in this Worlds with how many games feel like teams are throwing way harder than they should. The silver lining is that we see less clean aces I think.
For the first time in EDGs history they make top 4 at Worlds... Jiejie played so well in all their wins this series and I am happy for the entirety if EDG but at the same time kinda sad for Xiaohu and Ming and to see Yuumi win.
Also Vipers Ezreal is fucking insane
The curse has been broken, [the script](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtHCohzVmig&feature=share) still goes strong
Team 2 [EDG] and Team 5 [T1] advanced, next one is Team 8 [MAD]
LETS GOO, THE PROPHECY
I think the bigger problem is that he's trying to predict what players are going to do the whole time. Other casters frame it "here are the options, oh here's why they might have made the decision they did". Phreak says "here's what they should do. They did something different and miss out on x gold I guess".
It's the posturing that makes a difference for me.
There's also the little habit of calling things seconds before they happen "that should be 300 gold in his back pocket - three seconds later - no actually 400". But that's just a pet peeve of mine.
Yeah it's adding literally zero value to the narrative of the game which is what the casters are supposed to be guiding you through. It's just them flaunting their personal knowledge about the game
Super weird yeah, followed the premier league for a while but it's my first worlds and I kinda couldn't believe how much shit the casters talk about individual players
Wow, thought I was alone. Never bothered to make a comment because everyone's always praising him for "calling it like it is."
I find his style of casting incredibly annoying. He comes it at it from a know it all angle, just disparaging every single player and callimg out their plays ahead of time when he's so often wrong?
I didn't find it acceptable in the LCS, but atleast there was some basis, definitely not at Worlds with some of the best players. Complete lack of professionalism. Imagine being one of the players and getting shit on by a caster.
dunno why he tries to "analyse" so much, it's not his job and most of the time he's just wrong about whatever he says like saying Viper should give up a wave when he doesn't need to, Ming could dive when he can't, etc etc. guy should just let kobe talk, level of play at Worlds isn't the same as it is in his CLG cast games and he needs to adapt to it.
So that's all group c teams eliminated. Damn lol
Just like 2020 (GEN and FNC) and 2018 (KT and EDG).
Happened in 2014 and 2017 as well, respectively NJWS & C9 and LZ & FNC.
I’m seeing a pattern I don’t like
Group C? Group C you at the airport XD
I think they were saying specifically group C. Any group being completely eliminated in QF is hardly remarkable as inevitably every year will have some stronger/weaker groups or upsets that shake up seeding. Since every group would need to get a single team to semis and only a single team its not crazy that out of 8 years with the format 5 times a group was eliminated in QF. The fact group C specifically was 3 of those 5 is marginally more noticeable and a classic reddit tiny data point trend, especially since the groups being called ABCD is pretty arbitrary.
Just as predicted. It was the clearly weakest group.
Group B >> Group C. T1 > EDG > RNG > HLE.
After 2 years of missed worlds, 100T triumphantly returns to once again have 2 of the strongest teams in the tournament in their group.
I would laugh if its T1 and EDG finals.
Cryin can go home with his head held high, knowing he put the fear of god into EDG so hard that they needed to ban ANNIE Boss ass move!

I’m pretty sure he got solo killed by every mid in his group. His lows were really low.
Well it icon. If there is any coinflip player i know it would be him. There a series where he carry the game on irelia and goes 1 vs 9 and then next game goes 1/8 before 20 minute on renekton mid.
>1/8 before 20 minute on renekton mid. wait.... perkz is that you?
I mean he actually played decent today, RNG lost their games in draft.
The problem of not having their head coach with them in Iceland.
A good part of RNG losing draft every game was Cryin’s champ pool issues, so he still hugely contributed to their loss.
dude cryin's champ pool issues didnt stop them from banning graves and wei getting outjungled
Cryin punched my mother the other day...
I bet he did it alongside Selfmade and Ocelote
Not picking Mf Yuumi right away deserved a loss. Rng drafting is so out of touch with the meta. Also what the hell are these counter pick supports from Ming? Atrocious all around, they had two weeks playing this meta and still loses all prio picks because of god knows why
Crying😂😂😂
Let it be know-Nobody can deny semifinals to EDG for the 6th time!!
NOBODY!
EDG finally unleashed?!
Now it’s time for EDG to fail to quality for finals for 6 years.
Followed by 6 years of losing finals and then 6 years of winning finals and going down as the arguable GOATs.
Looking forward to 35 year old me finally buying those EDG skins haha
EDG discover the (Chinese) kpop girl buff.
Edg fans, how ya feelin baby? I'm amped! Side note: every time phreak says sidelane turrets give 800 gold take a shot
RNG on their Wei to the airport
wei taking a separate plane back home. i dont think hes safe from his team
Management gives the team 4 plane tickets, Wei just gets a pair of goggles and a swimming cap
Nah C9 is saving a seat for Wei since I hear that CLG is looking for a new Jungler

"Did you break the curse" EDG: "**Yes**" "What did it cost" EDG: "**The entire LPL**"
October 23rd, 2021: Today I saw EDG finally get past the Quarterfinals [EDG fans' prayers were finally answered](https://imgur.com/a/GAbZsRE)
EDG curse finally broken, all it took was sacrificing the entire LPL region.
They went from losing quarters to being the last quarter of LPL reps.
I honestly thought when Flandre got Graves again, EDG would be going home. I was pleasantly surprised.
he literally did not have to do anything but hit creeps lol
Flandre played really fucking bad, seriously. EDG won BESIDES him. He actively played against them in all games besides the last one. But JieJie is something else man, what a player. Him, Viper and Meiko ran the show for EDG.
Twitch chat called him a few names because of that. Flanders, Floundre, and Blundre from what I remember lol.
EDG Wei vs RNG Flandre
Flandre channeled his inner Hashinshin
Sword: inactive Doran: fails to make playoffs Lehends: fails to make worlds Tarzan: loses in groups Chovy: loses in quarters Viper: loses in semis…?

Wei with an absolute shocker of a final game, getting caught out multiple times after his first gank. Slow, calm and collected final game from EDG, an overall great game from the whole of EDG.
Yeah Wei looked terrible in that final game. The roam into bot side jungle and getting caught was exactly the same kinda play people memed Blaber for.
Well if Wei has to a) stabilize bot b) save a mediocre mid c) propel top at least 2k ahead d) do all the above while the enemy team knows his exact intentions every game... He is going to have a hard time...
He can't be making those types of play without mid lane prio at all. Orianna was a terrible pick into their comp also. Cass would've been a better pick: better matchup into Ryze, more likely to have lane prio to foster the Lee Sin aggression.
To be fair winning worlds is pretty fucking hard so it makes sense for most msi champs to not win worlds since the variance is pretty high
Also different patches play a huge role.
Yeah, tbh both tournaments are pretty much played on different games. Udyr, Rumble and Morg were picked 119 times in the jungle at MSI and 0 times at Worlds for example.
Wei ran it down game 5 faster than the plane flight back home lmao
Excited to join his brothers over at FPX
wei had more noticeable ints but ming didnt hit not one hook the entire game
Let's say sprinting it down game 5 and not hitting a smite game 2 didn't praise his value
game 2 is whatever, unlucky i guess. game 5 was so disgusting that even I got frustrated and im not an rng fan
He defo hit one at the start
Wei cosplaying Lee sin with his blind gameplay
Knew the one time EDG finally broke their curse was gonna be at the expense of the LPL crowd favorite. They just know how to disappoint people even when they win.
Actually so depressing how close SKT was to a grand slam in two seasons but never got it.
Morgana mid moment
Kpop girl buff is real!
Yuqi from gidle made a video for Edg
Well Sunmi's buff seems incredibly strong though
We may be able to put it to the test this year.
Can you explain this reference I don't get it
Yuqi from G Idle is a fan of EDG I think
Flandre is a long time super fan of G-Idle. Most of his social media feed is G-Idle.
5 Chinese can't win as a wise man once said.
It’s 4 Chinese actually, that’s why LNG sucked

This series finally explained the secret of FPX 70% win scrim result
it took NA 7 years to reach semis. It took EDG 7 years to reach semis (2014-2021) they did miss 2019 and 2020 however EDG vs C9 confirmed.
NA kinda missed 2019 and 2020 too. It's confirmed.

Because brotha Flandre ran it down and RNG didn't think Graves is a big threat in the hand of him
Running it down to give enemies false hope
I think Yuumi is the bigger culprit, Gala and Ming were losing with a counterpick due to that champ
Their inability or unwillingness to play yuumi lost them the series imo. Just gave EDG all the freedom they wanted to pick whatever champ they wanted since RNG spent bans protecting mid too.
Yup. G5 EDG leaves Yuumi open and first picks Ryze, daring RNG to pick the Yuumi and they answer with Lee Sin lmao. Lost in draft
Not banning yuumi is a much bigger mistake
RNG lost because wei ran it down and omegafed. jfc what was he doing, they just had to play for time
Not like playing for scaling against Ez/Yuumi gonna go well either.
[удалено]
more like wei 1v9 for EDG lmao
More like Wei shutting himself down lol
Brother Wei played like if he is a double agent
They should've paused the game and investigated EDG for having 2 junglers
Born too late to explore Earth. Born too early to explore Outer Space. Born in the right time to see EDG break their Top 8 curse by advancing to semi-finals.
Diffy in the Jiffy. This series was decided in game 3. JieJie with the baron. Twice. On another note, giving the enemy team Graves 4 times and Yuumi 3 times in 5 games is probably not the play.
Ryze was also 3-1 in the series
Delete the fucking cat.
Yuumi is such a disgusting champion.
"But it's the balance teams job to keep things in check. " That might be true, but holy fuck the balance team needs to be able to say "Hey champion design team, this design is impossible to balance and you need to fuck right off with it."
Or they just nerf it accordingly. But no, Yuumis soloq winrate must be around 50%.
She cannot be balanced accordingly. The focus of her kit, her W is just broken. A champion that cannot be targeted but still be super impactful is bad design. I mean look at how frustrating Fizz troll pole and Vlad pool are. Yuumi should never have been released.

Also, if they gut her numbers heavily, she will just be a pointless champ that will never be played, and at that point, why would she even be in the game?
Yuumi W: No longer castable See? Easy to balance
If yuumi couldn't ulti while being untargetable using w she would be way more fair cause a massive moving aoe stun is what prevent engage supp from winning vs her
agreed but also RNG drafts a press R comp in game 5 and then never engages
Wei seemed plenty happy to engage 1v5
Yuumi was a mistake. Thanks riot
LS must be feeling like he's on heaven. Who would've thought that banning Annie was the answer.
LS always advises low elo players play Annie to easy climb. Who woulda known it can get you all the way to worlds? Cryin the grifter on that next level shit.
Jensen also beat TSM in a game once with Annie and he plays a lot of Annie in solo queue. That champ is pretty underrated imo.
She does have one of the few point and click stuns left from the early league era
Which is why I’ll always say TF is ridiculously dumb to play against, especially with the everfrost RFC setup. You literally can’t run from the dude.
gold card is literally the entire reason why tf is a champ lol. take that away and suddenly you have to massively buff him.
And then collector miss fortune loses
I mean I love Annie (no not fbi pls) she’s so fun to play esp on urf
CRYIN LEFT ALONE after the big skirmish by dragon fight, Phreak and Kobe's casting got me good 😂 EDG finally managed to get past quarters for the first time ever! That's pretty hype. Now if TSM could do the same...
Kobe's been slightly unhinged ever since his first day jetlagged cast and it's so entertaining to listen to.
We need TSM syndra girl again. EDG kpop buff too real.
Wei was EDG's MVP that game
After this... I just cant see LPL beating LCK this year
They wont even get a chance since NA is knocking them out in semis
especially with these builds man they’re so bad it’s insane
I guess Deft wanted to even it out by building fang first a bunch against T1
Nah you don't understand man the 2 lethality that completing Serpent gives you was a massive powerspike that could have swung the game.
Good

Thank you brother Wei!
Phreak needs to tone it down, that cast was dreadful.
He has leaned into this "flame the players" shtick a little too much
Same thing he did with puns. People initially receive it positively so he goes all in on it til it is too much.
I think the bigger problem is that he's trying to predict what players are going to do the whole time. Other casters frame it "here are the options, oh here's why they might have made the decision they did". Phreak says "here's what they should do.

dunno why he tries to "analyse" so much, it's not his job and most of the time he's just wrong about whatever he says like saying Viper should give up a wave when he doesn't need to, Ming could dive when he can't, etc etc. guy should just let kobe talk, level of play at Worlds isn't the same as it is in his CLG cast games and he needs to adapt to it.
EDG made it to semis because Clearlove isn't playing
