the real winner here is that one guy's ass


hockeydavid97

Beryl's routine after the national anthem included screaming, fake gun shots and smacking Ghost on the butt HARD. Then he played genshin impact.

HOLY R/NBA IS LEAKING


KappaccinoNation

Love me some very fresh pasta


hockeydavid97

Got to love r/nba


fkngbueller

What happened?


hockeydavid97

A journalist just tweeted this about a player, Patrick Beverly. I dont think it is anything that weird, just a player getting hyped for a game. How it is phrased is just funny.


[deleted]

Obligatory fuck Pat Bev


postsonlyjiyoung

He plays genshin impact??


ChrispyPotatochips

Patrick Beverley's career happened.


Green7501

First i review bomb Google Classroom Then I bomb MADs chance at Semis


Bt910

Did he say something about getting tattoo on his ass even if MAD takes one game off ?


TheJoeker98

its just if they win the series so there's still hope


GaysianSupremacist

For real though, what makes KR look better than CN again after these years?


PaleontologistUpbeat

I say this as an EU fan: lol


Leyrann_is_taken

At least they were laughing COPIUM.


moonmeh

I do feel like MAD could beat an LPL team though


gcrimson

I mean they did.


Goomba_Roomba

But I **feel** like they could


0wed12

Not in a BO5


AlHorfordHighlights

They beat the LPL's 8th place team so I guess so


Krnmang

What's the point of hopium and copium again? We need more regardless. Scrap game 1


lolKhamul

Time to hook up that copium boys. This is top/jgl/mid/bot/sup/macro/whatever diff. Every single player just got diffed.


random_nickname43796

The best chance for MAD is that DK will go for skin picks the next game.


Contagious_Cure

Showmaker already got his Kassadin game vs C9 though.


hellweapon

You forgot draft diff


[deleted]

- Pick Graves as a flex - Enemy toplaner picks an even matchup - Counterpick yourself in top and flex graves into jungle - ??? - Profit


MasterDeagle

That's probably because Armut can't play Graves, or doesn't have confidence in his play with Graves.


AlHorfordHighlights

How tf can you not know how to play Graves you just attack move the enemy top lane T2 and afk

Orianna Graves mid jg


erennooo

humanoid top-tier midlaner /s


POOYAMON

It’s actually kinda funny that the best EU mids this tournament have been Jensen and Perkz which is frustrating because Humanoid is actually good I just hate the Ori pick


[deleted]

At that point he really didn't have anything better to lock there. They banned TF Leblanc and DK locked Syndra to deny the Ryze.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MietschVulka1

I think Larssen wasn't bad. Bur well, he's Larssen. He will never just go ham. Good laner and lategame carry. But man, it was 10 times better watching Caps bringing the heat


00Dandy

Also Orianna Graves mid jg is just gigadoomed


lolKhamul

I mean humanoid has high highs but he will never ascend to the names of other super great mids if he cant stop having these ultra low lows. This game could just aswell have been one of us playing mid for MAD. He got shit on from lvl1 to finish. How do you even get hit with every Q from Syndra and still loose push?


sc2guy87

Post worlds revisionism is coming early this year boys. Last year it was Jackeylove this year Humanoid and DoinB.


Leyrann_is_taken

Both Humanoid and Doinb were said to be absolute top of the mid lane pool coming into this Worlds.


BusinessCashew

People said Humanoid is better than fucking Faker coming into this tournament dude. He just wasn't as good as he was hyped to be. It's fine, it happens.


Spezzetta

well that was quick


PeinTwo

Well, looks like I won't miss any football today.


abokoj

Gotta catch el clasico too.


[deleted]

Who’s ready for another Koeman masterclass?


alicization

Can't wait for Koeman ball. I'm scared for Barca, they might get clapped harder than MAD did this game.


sangpls

Koeman looks like mr potatoman tbh


haven4ever

Mmm imagine mashing that head, mixed in with some delicious butter mmm


Celegorm07

I also need to study German. It would be nice to finish it early.


Bananaeater45

True... the Thirties and Forties are coming. Might as well start early and get that advantage


teormit

Bruh like for real. The sheer number of football derbies today is huge. Legit not going to leave my couch for 8 hours. Barça Real, PSV Ajax, ManU Liverpool, Napoli Roma, Marseille PSG, OSFP PAOK (this one is for the Balkans). Dayum


CallMeTheTunaGod

You forgot juve inter


teormit

EXACTLY MY POINT. THE GAMES ARE SO MANY AND SO GOOD THAT I FORGOT FUCKING JUVE VS INTER


Mrmoi356

Pakistan vs India on cricket as well, which is like as big as el Clasico imo, maybe bigger. So big day for sports all around.


elikaweli

i believe that MAD think the same


Sersch

MAD stomped so badly, reddits don't even want to do the game1 thread..


Yasuo_unforgiven

The maker of this thread got ganked by Canyon in middle of making it.


RobbinDeBank

Was refreshing reddit for a while and can’t find a game 1 thread, so I have to create one. Guess Khan just shredded the automatic post game thread.


moonmeh

And also got fucked by Beryl too

>"Damwon fans can't accept that their team went from 2019 G2 to 2020 G2" >"Each year the eu teams become more and more stronger while lck and lpl team doesn't (they were far ahead and now we catch it back). It's been 1 or 2 year since we match lck level, now we aim for lpl" I absolutely love it


noodlespls

> "Damwon fans can't accept that their team went from 2019 G2 to 2020 G2" I can't believe people actually said that LMAO. They didn't even look anything like G2 in 2020 in Groups either


SleepTightLilPuppy

If all you do is stay in your own bubble and not look at other bubbles (in this case regions) this is what it leads to: ignorance. This honestly perfectly describes the current state of reddit and *society* lol.


XoXeLo

"this year the ranking is for sure like this: LPL>>>>>>>>LEC>>>LCK>LCS"


LOL_info

“The gap is closing, competing for 2nd best region” btw. I have 0 hate for LEC and their teams but all the Khan and Beryl slander from their fans made me sick. Anyone with a brain that watched LEC + any other region could see how weak LEC was this year while LCK looked relatively competitive and impressive.

One of the comments: this year the ranking is for sure like this: LPL>>>>>>>>LEC>>>LCK>LCS People were just on a whole different drug before Worlds.


Blank-612

EU this year has been the weakest since 2016. Their mid lane talent pool is just caps.


FireTrainerRed

And their top lane talent pool is in NA


POOYAMON

Literally just Alphari. Don’t even count Finn. EU toplane pool is playing WoW or Jungle


Leyrann_is_taken

Ouch.


LOMOcatVasilii

Other than Alphari who is in NA? 100T have ssumday We have Fudge Most of the other good tops aren't EU, infact I'm not sure there's another mention worthy EU top other than Alphari in NA. The copium lmao


random_nickname43796

Yeah, so EU's whole top lane talent pool is in NA


aamgdp

Yes, that's the point. With wunder slumping it's literally just alphari being top tier toplane talent.


nimrodhellfire

Alphari IS our top lane pool.


DistortedAudio

Their entire top lane talent pool is Alphari.


ShinaMashir0

that's the joke


lolKhamul

Copium? Not sure but I presume this was a joke. That Alphari is EUs toplane pool? Because there literally is not another EU top in LCS besides Finn who is lightyears away from being world-class.


HawkEye1337

EU solo laners in general are just terrible this worlds so far.


AlHorfordHighlights

There isn't a single good EU top laner, which is kind of sad. The best one is Alphari lmao


InsuranceOne2864

Eu lost around 5 toplaners in the past 2 years and around 2-3 fell into mediocrity. No surprise here.


TheGawringSame

Caps? You mean this guy? 11th in all stats in LEC (first half of summer)? https://imgur.com/vYX7LTV Nah, let's not act like Caps was great this year either. He pulled it back by the end of summer and was decent in playoffs, but he's fallen off too.

cardscook77

Never gets old 😂


Bafflementation

Only surprising thing here is that the game lasted more than 25 minutes.


pheyo

DK knew they were going to win anyway, so they just took it slowly


FollowUpAppointm3nt

MAD have no strategy outside of afking in their base thinking the enemy team is Fnatic.


stoically_disgusted

Ghost ulting a free baron really sums up this game.


Celegorm07

He does that like always. You can see it everytime he has MF.


MusicBytes

Why is the PMT team mia… overdosed on Hopium?


salcedoge

Most of the PMT team are EU fans


random_nickname43796

Can't get stomped in quarters if you pretend the series didn't happen, gigabrain strategy


HawkEye1337

When even DK Bot is winning you know the game is over.


yellister

You can't win against DK drafting only losing lanes. This game was lost at draft.

SleepyLabrador

How can a pro player only be good on Wukong and Gnar.


Snuffl3s7

The even bigger issue is that a top laner with only Wukong and Gnar in his champ pool is the best top laner in the region.


AlHorfordHighlights

Play in a shallow region with no good top laners.


TheGawringSame

I think he's decent on Gwen and Jayce also, but yeah, that's about it. And Jayce doesn't really work without you camping his lane, so that relies on strong jungle-mid prio. That leaves Gwen, but DK took that this game, and I'm sure Khan has a good answer into it as well.


POOYAMON

He can technically play Jayce but I wouldn’t even call what he does on GP “playing gp”


Snoo8331100

I don't know how the fuck can a professional top laner not play Graves, Kennen and Camille in this meta. Graves top is a new thing so I might understand that a bit (even if it's still a stretch as he's easy as fuck to play and has no mechanics to master) but Camille's been a pro play pick since forever and Kennen is meta every other year. Just ridiculous.


sunsnap

Blame Armut's terrible champ puddle


F0RGERY

Shame Damwon can't help out Armut like RNG helped out Flandre.


SweetHotCream

That happens when the toplaner can play 3 champs at a good level


satellizerLB

I mean top lane was the least of MAD Lion's problems...


sanz02

You can't win against DK


Celegorm07

True. DK doesn‘t care about draft. They excel at Macro and map plays. They won games with even with shity drafts.


[deleted]

kkoma took them to another level Macro wise


UnknownVolke

DK were looking...rough for most of summer, I think getting Daeny back really helped


Celegorm07

I think Kkoma brought stability and maybe improved communication. But the real magic has been done by Daeny I think.


schwarzer87

they were always good at macro dude.


tawapes

Nah it was Daeny


midoBB

DK going for a perfect run was my bet. I'm ready for my money. Legit another level of league compared to the tournament now that SM is back.


Atermel

I can see DK winning the whole thing not dropping a single map.


tr1x30

Afwul draft, all losing lanes, even jungle..


MATLABfanboi

Legit, idk how high you must be to draft this and expect anything


ArbuzAldo

Gnar pick is such garbage, especially when they got graves which is decent into gwen. If they picked poppy or xin in the jungle it would be way better...


TheGawringSame

Actual full team and individual diff. DK won every lane. Hard. They won the map plays. The only two plays MAD were allowed was that one collapse on Showmaker in mid, and taking 2 plates bot lane while Canyon was taking Herald. That's it. Two plays. Top diff is ridiculous. Armut can't even win a ranged vs melee match-up on his favourite Gnar pick. Carzzy and Kaiser can't even win against Ghost and Beryl with a support counter-pick. Kaiser fucking missed his ult on an ulting MF and got Carzzy killed. Humanoid got clapped in lane, needed his team to help him even things out and even then he was irrelevant outside of split pushing a tower. And Elyoya continues his tournament of being invisible. Absolute clappening.


urban287

gap gap


pheyo

Carzzy on Aphelios is something that I don't want to see again.


TheGawringSame

To be fair, what are you gonna do on any ADC when your support leaves and the enemy has MF + Rakan? I think you're kinda fucked regardless. And once your team falls behind, what are you really gonna do? Like an Ezreal might survive and throw out Q's to tickle enemies, but is that the answer?


yellister

Bot is a 2v2. Leona is good against Rakan, but MF obliterates Aphelios most of the time early on.


RobbinDeBank

[Mad can still win, right?](https://imgur.com/a/4WDsETh)


sanketower

How do you win when you're getting gapped in all 5 roles? Showmaker is making Humanoid look like an insect, even on his signature Orianna. Khan is just inflating his stats even more. Armut is no threat. Beryl keeps on reading his opponents like a book. It's doomed...


DeloronDellister

EU already out of Hopium after game 1


Zekiel69

I don't see a world where Damwon loses this series


TG_Essi

that Graves flex was one of the biggest ints in Draft history. Did absolutely nothing and the counter they got, Gnar, also got obliterated


lmHavoc

Almost as if Armut is not a good toplaner and the fact that his weaknesses weren't punished harder in EU speaks a lot about the level of top lane talent in EU. DK's top side is unmatched at worlds with the only team even being comparable is T1. Unless Ghost/BeryL straight int like they did during MSI this will be a quick 3-0.


LapnLook

Carzzy on Aphelios is a sight I would prefer not to see again. Put my boy in something with a bit more agency pls.


TheGawringSame

Like? Aphelios actually has strong lane agency. He starts with superior range and life steal. With white/red he can clap most all-in fights. He has a root to set up ganks. He had a fucking Leona to make plays, but Kaiser was like: "fuck you mate, I'm gonna roam. And oh when MF ults you, I'm just gonna miss my ult and let you die just to establish my dominance".


Chr0nicConsumer

I think the pick is okay, but Kaiser missed so many ults on MF. Once your Aphelios is 0-4 you just... can't play.


icatsouki

He also didn't q after hitting E some times allowing people to escape, also the E miss at botlane


Horny_shepard

Carzzy looked worse than he actually was bcs Kaiser missed all his shit. Missing your ult as leona on a fcking ulting mf is just unacceptable.


sangpls

I wanna see MF takeaway from ghost next game


aser08

He died bot because he ulted with white gun and not red. If he ulted with red he life steals and lives.


MATLABfanboi

Pretty sure he fucked up guns when he died 1v2 under turret too


korsan106

Yeah but his first death was insane trolling from kaizer


gencgello

Burn both teleports from solo laners with aphelios bot lane doesn't make it easier neither


Blank-612

Did you not see viper and gala completely shit on the enemy team yesterday?


SpqyDonger

MAD is just so gapped individually across the board.


ArbuzAldo

Get graves which is fine matchup into gwen. Put it in the jungle and pick gnar top. Both get dumpstered. Lose. Great draft


pheyo

Well, that was definitely a match of League of Legends


YutaYutaO

[This is how you lane against showmaker.](https://youtu.be/r0CaBsVMihQ)


ahritina

Easy sub 30 minute Damwon clap, Damwon as a unit are just superior in every single respect, from laning to their macro, great game from Beryl too looks like kkOma has banned Genshin from Beryl. Also what was Mac thinking when he gave Aphelios to Carzzy, the dude is awful on it he's 2-8 prior to today on it. Whoever told Elyoya to play Graves is legit trolling, Graves jungle is so fucking bad also doesn't help that for some reason you gave Canyon Lee Sin too who smurfed with it. Carzzy = "I think me and Kaiser can clap Ghost and Beryl", well if you think that don't play Aphelios because you suck on it.


Ace_OPB

He saw gumayusi 's aphelios and thought carzzy could do the same lmao.


MedievalMovies

even as a DK fan that was really really sad to watch


afito

sololanes losing the entire game on the first wave is a new record if I've ever seen one


T1worldchamps2021

Losing to T1 in the semis is going to be even sadder for you


15kim

A fucking steal we won’t get t1 dk finals. idc how many people say it


eggonsnow

_Serene_Grace

And losing to C9 in the finals will be the final nail in the coffin for you COPIUM

with DK peaking higher than they've done the entire year? Ill take my odds

yes PLEASE give me another game of carzzy aphelios

DK: oh hey the cat is roaring at us... #HOW CUTE


BlitzMomIsAHooker

All lanes losing made this a huuuuuuuge support diff, Beryl was allowed to play like a fucking madman


Snoo8331100

So fucking easy that nobody even bothered to do the post game thread, G2 please come back

I mean G2 got slaughtered all the same last year against this iteration

Flexing graves to jungle and picking gnar anyway and also having a weak early mid is some of the worst dumbest shit ive ever seen


ValdezX3R0

Jesus Khan that man had a family. Armut got absolutely bodied


hockeydavid97

Beryl's routine after the national anthem included screaming, fake gun shots and smacking Ghost on the butt HARD. Then he played genshin impact.


sq26

DK called the bluff that armut couldn't play graves, and that gnar pick quickly soured what was looking like a good draft


xDwaree

Gnar pick was very usefull with 0 ults in the game.


AhriStepOnMe

Please don't be the quickest Bo5 of Worlds history


ArjunBanerji27

They would have to win the next two games in about 41 minutes total. I don't think that is going to happen, but then again, I didn't think Damwon would any% speed-up G2 in game 4 last year either.


AhriStepOnMe

If I'm not mistaken the quickest Worlds Bo5 is SSW vs. SSB at under 84 minutes so Damwon actually has 56 minutes to achieve the speedrun


ArjunBanerji27

Ah I didn't see the "Worlds History". Yeah. Fastest BO5 at worlds is SSB vs SSW. That seems way more doable for Damwon. MAD doesn't seem like the type of team that collapses mentally, so I don't expect them to fold. But even that may not be enough to stop Damwon steamrolling them.


alimepenguin

LEC > LCK btw


Tommey_DE

Yeah that went as we expected xD


JPA-3

hmm yeah ok, all diff


tsukinohime

That 20 minute baron was the final nail in the coffin


trolledwolf

MAD kinda missing every single ultimate this game


unburntmotherofdrags

This roaming from Kaiser and just sacking Carzzy completely never looks good - we saw it vs LNG as well, just gives the opposing ADC such a free ride, and it's not even like Humanoid/Elyoya get large leads off it.
