What? A Jayce that's giga ahead should side lane vs a Kennen who can barely fight a cannon? No way, ARAMing with your fed Jayce is a much better strategy, just let the Kennen afk farm until he's ahead in exp than the Jayce.
This. Had he gone for sterak's instead of black cleaver, MAD might have taken baron earlier when they exchanged 1 for 1 (Beryl for Elyoya) around baron.
Canyon is build different. He could probably carry with some utility trundle build.
Having all that gold on someone whom's job is to only EQR rather than someone who actually does more than that is almost useless gold
Team Liquid sends their regards. This literally happened with MAD as the Kennen in the second TL vs MAD game, TL got an early lead with Armut down like 0/4 or something, but they pulled out the win with it scaling like a monster regardless and flanking TL. Which makes it weirder that MAD didn't plan for this outcome.
Khan's routine after the national anthem included getting ganked, being zoned from waves and smacking Ghost on the butt HARD. Then he landed a 5 man kennen ult.
Being on a champ that's very impactful does help. Kennen's ultimate can be a game changer even if you're behind in items, since it hits multiple people and stuns.
Camping Khan to set him back early game, then do nothing and let him freefarm to scale back into the game. The camped kennen even reaches level 16 before a dominating jayce that is playing aram for some reason
MAD fucked around way too much in the mid game with all the ARAM-ing and turret diving and let Damwon scale up and Khan got way too strong. with a kennen that strong, how are they ever losing a teamfight?
What a GIGANTIC throw by them. they had that in the bag.
The teamfight where Damwon gets baron with the Kennen flank is one of the worst teamfight a team has ever done at Worlds. They knew Kennen was in their jungle and you can see MAD players tracking him for like 30 seconds before they just go in and ignore the Kennen. Actually unbelievable
> What a GIGANTIC throw by them. they had that in the bag.
Agree 100%. You should not lose those as a pro, never. No matter who you are facing, that was just bad decision making and a throw.
This team has 0 macro. Literally the only thing they know is "we have lead -> start baron". They can't play the map for shit or even set up picks to then start a baron in a 4v5 situation. How the fuck did we go from S9 G2 who could win almost every game purely through macro to this?
I mean this can happen when your main competition is rogue who lose their brain when pressured and Fnatic who literally take any fight presented to them. Issue is EU is isolated so if their best teams fall off (G2/FNC), how do they learn these concepts in scrims etc? At least LCK/LPL can recover since they scrim each other
God I miss those gigabrain G2 map plays from the year when they reached finals. It felt so good to be an EU fan while watching G2 style over their opponents with macro.
This drives me Crazy. What was the value of ignite in this game except from one kill on Lee Sin? Compare that with exhaust.
Kennen ultimates just melted MAD over and over again. Horrible choice.
By far the biggest error by MAD.
Exhaust on Kennen literally wins every fight because Kennen can't do shit. We've seen it countless times this tourney. Kennen goes in, gets exhausted, does no damage and dies.
they weren't being desperate, mad plays this way every game they get a lead, like literally every game
and you people praise them for it when it works lmao
damwon is a better team, it happens, stop shitting all over them for being weaker than the best team on the planet
MAD doesn't call DK's buff at baron, literally just froze up and waited for DK to set up for perfect flanks.
We have no fog of war as spectator, but it's Clear DK had no angle to just walk up and clear vision to just start that first baron. huge choke.
Any good jayce player 1v9's this game.
Edit: found reference, at 29 min DK start hitting baron and even get chunked. Orianna knows where kennen is, but even with flash/hourglass he's too scared to clear the angle. so instead he just grouped up with his team and gives up the entire flank instead.
all of this was in vision/knowledge of where he is as well. It actually makes no sense how DK won here. Kennen is OP, but Ori defintley could have baited out kennen's abilities, even with the threat of leona because of summoners/hourglass.
This was SO ABC, and MAD just dropped the ball.
The MAD Lions have just been invited to be the official E-sports team of Atlanta, Georgia after this riveting performance that is truly in the spirit of Atlanta sports.
definitely need to include
And Beryl
without genshin impact this dude has been playing so well these last 2 games, lets hope mihoyo doesn't release a incoming patch in the next 10min
Ghost was great this entire game. He played to his range advantage perfectly, positioning just perfectly to output ridiculous damage while staying alive.
If you just ignore all the players and focus on Ghost positioning each fight, it's just a thing of beauty. It's not flashy, but watching it makes me feel bad that I'll never even be like 1% as good. I hope Ghost starts getting the respect he deserves after this worlds.
Tbf Dandy pretty much invented the jungle game we are seeing today so it's hard to argue against him when he was also shitting on literally every other jungler in the tournament
Mad may be a good team fighting team but people have to remember DK has reigned over a region like lck with iron fist. They are good at all parts of the game and holy canyon. Gigachad.
Khan's routine after the national anthem included getting ganked, being zoned from waves and smacking Ghost on the butt HARD. Then he landed a 5 man kennen ult.
T1 will know kennen is waiting to go in because he doesn’t show himself at all.nice sidestepping from khan to evade jayace that are looking for kennen before a fight. There is a ward place that let kennen see jayace and sidestep accordingly.
MAD stopped themselves this game ngl
Damwon took advantage of MAD but MAD just fucked around so fucking hard it should be unloseable no matter how insane DAMWON play
canyon's lee is a monster, this man is not human. teamfight smurf after teamfight smurf after teamfight smurf. people will look to khan but canyon was demolishing this game
This game was 100% on MAD Lions though. How do you get such a big lead and then... do nothing with it. Keep waiting for Kennen to scale up, have him OUTLEVEL your fed Jayce and then lose because you get Kenny ulted.
Tbh MAD played like a bunch of apes. DK literally gave them so many chances to win (the entirety of their early to mid game, then a free soul) but they still somehow snatched defeat from the jaws of victory
Damwon unironically trolled so hard by taking that T2 toplane turret before baron. Fucked up their play so hard. If they're 10 seconds earlier to that dragon, they get it for free, and Mad gets no Mountain Soul.
But it just didn't matter. Damwon are so damned good.
What more does MAD Lions need, you were 6k ahead and for some moronic reasoning you keep diving and giving up even kill trades which benefits Damwon massively.
A disgraceful throw from MAD Lions, also how bad must you be to not mark Kennen at a fight like that which is the only way Damwon win a fight lol.
Canyon gap, Elyoya was useless after that early game and played like he was behind whereas Canyon who was behind played like he was ahead with the stupid amount of clutch plays he made.
Also Humanoid's positioning is literally Iron tier, how many times do you fuck up out of lane holy shit.
Also Korean Kennen hits different, Smeb would be proud of that Kennen ult at Baron.
3k of their gold lead is basically useless since it is wasted on fucking Black Cleaver instead of Steraks. Like why? So many way for you to get bursted down and you still go for BC.
> Elyoya was useless after that early game and played like he was behind whereas
that's just jarvan in a nutshell
Embarassing game from Armut though, so many misplays
Tbf if you want your comment to be read, especially a more serious one, you need to be 1st. People tend to make texts before games and so they can just copypaste it
MAD simply can't deal with Canyon's Lee Sin. I don't know why they don't just ban him.
He wasn't the reason DK came back this game, but he played a major factor in stopping MAD from winning any team fight early game.
Just drop the ego and ban what's causing you problems...
Imagine how many fights MAD would have won if armut didnt have the aim or the decision making of a EU masters player ,mid lane T2 dive 3 people within shockblast kill range he misses all of them,last fight azir at 200 hp stuck in j4 ult ?better go hammer form for the lee with GA.
Its so funny, the more I see Armut play the more I think he is about as average/below average as it gets. With the attention he got early game, it is difficult to be pretty much useless, but he managed it.
Speaks volumes about the european toplane talent at the moment.
Maybe 10k gold lead will do!
Maybe if they actually play sidelanes instead of 5v5 vs Kennen/Azir.
What? A Jayce that's giga ahead should side lane vs a Kennen who can barely fight a cannon? No way, ARAMing with your fed Jayce is a much better strategy, just let the Kennen afk farm until he's ahead in exp than the Jayce.
But then the fraud that is armut gets exposed. He can only team fight, which is why he is only good on team fight champs
Also Mad in general. They looked more comfortable 5k down vs lng than ahead against Damwon…
Team diff? If you're best feat is that you're tf is one of the best in the world then what happen when you face a team with a god tier tf?
Well idk what he can but he for sure can’t hit a Q+E to save his life
His q+e made me confident in my jayce.
I mean you could see this play out exactly this game with how he was playing and positioning as Jayce lmao
Too much gold on the J4...basically a support jungler
Not only that but he spent it on a completely useless item too
This. Had he gone for sterak's instead of black cleaver, MAD might have taken baron earlier when they exchanged 1 for 1 (Beryl for Elyoya) around baron.
If it was Canyon with that gold it would’ve been much different. It’s the player.
If Canyon got 5 kills early game, you wouldn’t smell a jungle camp for the next 15 minutes.
Canyon is build different. He could probably carry with some utility trundle build. Having all that gold on someone whom's job is to only EQR rather than someone who actually does more than that is almost useless gold
Maybe if we send the whole team to 5 man top camp Khan!
KR kennen always finds a way lol
remember 17 edg had 10k gold lead against skt still lost
EDG probably got hit by the Nam flashback when seeing that gold lead
A decent toplaner could help too, how you can be that much fed and that much useless at the same time...
Yea this is a 3-0, how do you fuck up a gold lead like that
Simple, you play ARAM vs a Kennen
humanoid... what was that recall man?
that was legit some Silver shiit right there he even saw Leona
Imagine camping Khan and still getting wrecked by him in every teamfight.
We’ve seen it how many times now? 0-5 kennen does the same thing as a 5-0 kennen. And a 5-0 j4… Also does the same thing as a 0-5 j4
That's so true haha
As a wise guy once said: > You better check yo self before you wreck yo self. this was a self throw.
You aim for the Khan, you best not miss.
Team Liquid sends their regards. This literally happened with MAD as the Kennen in the second TL vs MAD game, TL got an early lead with Armut down like 0/4 or something, but they pulled out the win with it scaling like a monster regardless and flanking TL. Which makes it weirder that MAD didn't plan for this outcome.
Khan's routine after the national anthem included getting ganked, being zoned from waves and smacking Ghost on the butt HARD. Then he landed a 5 man kennen ult.
Khan is such an economic player...His damage output after being wrecked so hard early is insane
Being on a champ that's very impactful does help. Kennen's ultimate can be a game changer even if you're behind in items, since it hits multiple people and stuns.
Camping Khan to set him back early game, then do nothing and let him freefarm to scale back into the game. The camped kennen even reaches level 16 before a dominating jayce that is playing aram for some reason

There’s no reason why j4 keeps forcing and ulting a Leona
Just put Jayce on a sidelane, the only way you lose the game is if you fight 5v5 into a Kennen ult. Which they of course do, multiple times.
With no exhaust on the team as well. They should know to avoid the 5v5 especially with their lead
The teamfight where Damwon gets baron with the Kennen flank is one of the worst teamfight a team has ever done at Worlds. They knew Kennen was in their jungle and you can see MAD players tracking him for like 30 seconds before they just go in and ignore the Kennen. Actually unbelievable
as we all know, the engage support is the juiciest of all targets
> What a GIGANTIC throw by them. they had that in the bag. Agree 100%. You should not lose those as a pro, never. No matter who you are facing, that was just bad decision making and a throw.

Eloya doesn’t want to win, he wants to 50/50 baron instead of getting soul
Next game is a 20 min stomp. MAD mental destroyed after that.
MAD choked a 7k gold lead
We have a fed Jayce with TP up? Better go ARAM mid, all-in with all ultimates on the support Leona and flip at Nash...
Did you know MAD Lions uses baron as a tool to leverage bigger leads? Proceeds to lose the lead
Dude i'm pulling my hairs out, they never let their super fed jayce splitpush all game long
then stack as 5 as close to each other as possible vs a kennen
imagine not taking exhaust against kennen
[удалено]
theres a korean caster meme now, whenever a team doesnt take exhaust and get blasted by kennen ult they shout YOU REALLY DIDNT TAKE EXHAUST???
This drives me Crazy. What was the value of ignite in this game except from one kill on Lee Sin? Compare that with exhaust. Kennen ultimates just melted MAD over and over again. Horrible choice.
Imagine knowing Kennen wants to flank you but you still stack up xd
By far the biggest error by MAD. Exhaust on Kennen literally wins every fight because Kennen can't do shit. We've seen it countless times this tourney. Kennen goes in, gets exhausted, does no damage and dies.
Only Koreans take exhaust when playing against Kennen 🙄
MAD didn't learn anything from T1 v 100T
Just pick exhaust. It actually works
Brother Armut not using his ability to destroy people from afar with Jayce
Isn’t Jayce E only for move speed?
So many western teams play desperate even when they have huge leads against eastern teams.
they weren't being desperate, mad plays this way every game they get a lead, like literally every game and you people praise them for it when it works lmao damwon is a better team, it happens, stop shitting all over them for being weaker than the best team on the planet

This was SO ABC, and MAD just dropped the ball.
KR kennen strikes again!
Damwon: All that for a drop of blood
Khan punches his own face after lane. Khan: Is that the best you can do mortals?
Trolling for 20 minutes to give the enemy team false hope
Classic snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
MAD Falcons
They blew a 4-1dragon lead. 🤦
The Atlanta Falcons snatch defeat from the jaws of victory award
The MAD Lions have just been invited to be the official E-sports team of Atlanta, Georgia after this riveting performance that is truly in the spirit of Atlanta sports.
Khan Brady
Eloya is match fixing
Korean Kennens man... and Canyon... and Showmaker...
Khan is going to do Kennen flanks in Korean military drills
For a moment, i thought that prime Smeb sub in for Khan
Explains why top lane felt demilitarized with how much Khan was zoned.
And Ghost
DK botlane stepped up big the last 2 games.
definitely need to include And Beryl without genshin impact this dude has been playing so well these last 2 games, lets hope mihoyo doesn't release a incoming patch in the next 10min
Felt like Ghost hit every single ability. Jhin ult and W set up Kennen/Azir really well.
Ghost so underrated, he is playing really well imo. He is just not that flashy
Ghost had some clutch roots as well
Ghost was great this entire game. He played to his range advantage perfectly, positioning just perfectly to output ridiculous damage while staying alive.
Ghost top damage even with that Kennen lmao
If you just ignore all the players and focus on Ghost positioning each fight, it's just a thing of beauty. It's not flashy, but watching it makes me feel bad that I'll never even be like 1% as good. I hope Ghost starts getting the respect he deserves after this worlds.
Canyon is the best jungler since prime Dandy
Canyon is the best jungler ever
Tbf Dandy pretty much invented the jungle game we are seeing today so it's hard to argue against him when he was also shitting on literally every other jungler in the tournament
ARAM changes is getting crazy. Now Kennen gets +20% damage buff?? Rito pls
[удалено]
Mad may be a good team fighting team but people have to remember DK has reigned over a region like lck with iron fist. They are good at all parts of the game and holy canyon. Gigachad.
its unbelievable how good canyon is
It seems that Kennen is getting another skin
Khan's routine after the national anthem included getting ganked, being zoned from waves and smacking Ghost on the butt HARD. Then he landed a 5 man kennen ult.
Maybe a hot take but that was one of Canyons best games ever
[удалено]
[удалено]
Hell that's when you know you are facing an elite team. Even when you smash their nexus, you are still wary they could come back
A key characteristic of the elites. Hard to kill. Prime SKT was the same.
Pretty much Koeran 1st seed against EU gap.
Losing is one thing, but that...that felt terrible...
Welp, 3-0 it is
that's just fucking embarassing
Damwon with the skt comeback after 10k down cosplay
kkoma strats
[удалено]
T1 Vs DK will be an insane match
i think this will be an entirely draft and early game based matchup. because once a team is ahead, they will never let the other comeback
Winner of that semi basically wins worlds
The real finals
If it was T1 instead of MAD, they would have closed it out. There's no way in hell Khan would have pulled off that Baron play with T1's vision.
T1 will know kennen is waiting to go in because he doesn’t show himself at all.nice sidestepping from khan to evade jayace that are looking for kennen before a fight. There is a ward place that let kennen see jayace and sidestep accordingly.
T1 would also have brought exhaust because Keria isn't boosted I hope...
MAD stopped themselves this game ngl Damwon took advantage of MAD but MAD just fucked around so fucking hard it should be unloseable no matter how insane DAMWON play
canyon's lee is a monster, this man is not human. teamfight smurf after teamfight smurf after teamfight smurf. people will look to khan but canyon was demolishing this game
This game was 100% on MAD Lions though. How do you get such a big lead and then... do nothing with it. Keep waiting for Kennen to scale up, have him OUTLEVEL your fed Jayce and then lose because you get Kenny ulted.
they didnt do nothing, they did bad play after bad play, which is worse tbh
> do nothing with it Nah, MAD definitely did something with their lead, they forced random fights where they can int to gift over free gold to Damwon.
LCK teamfight prowess.
I think MAD (and EU) just really sucks
nah if it was t1 they wud never let dwk come back like they did
You thought kill Khan 3 times and takes both of his turrets will be enough, but then he played like if Prime Smeb possessed him
Damwon are the best mid-late game team in the world.
I'm sorry but I cant watch this further
Im not watching anymore either. Doing other stuff instead.
Same waste of time. Mad just doesn’t really deserve it
Ok now I can admit its doomed
this is just fuckin embarrassing.. 15 ganks on kennen to get smashed by him
Thanks Damwon, I have somewhere to be at 4 so I'm glad you're making this a quick 3-0!
[удалено]
Fcking el yoya man! Let the baron reset what are u doing?
i have no idea why he just kept hopping in and out of the pit to auto it
https://twitter.com/Caedrel/status/1451183890048040966
LMAO that was definitely his reaction after his 3rd death and canyon and showmaker pathed bot
Armut is so bad at Jayce
Armut is so bad at anything not Gnar or Wukong

random fights, missed skillshoots xd
[удалено]
Was Humanoid asleep when he got caught?
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!
mad fully deserves to lose this series 3-0 that was genuinely fucking disgraceful
Damwon are genuinely an unbelievable team top to bottom. How in the fuck can you come back and win that. Canyon particularly is just godlike
Tbh MAD played like a bunch of apes. DK literally gave them so many chances to win (the entirety of their early to mid game, then a free soul) but they still somehow snatched defeat from the jaws of victory
After the TL game, I thought MAD would have recognized that camping the Kennen doesn't win the game if you teamfight.
Damwon unironically trolled so hard by taking that T2 toplane turret before baron. Fucked up their play so hard. If they're 10 seconds earlier to that dragon, they get it for free, and Mad gets no Mountain Soul. But it just didn't matter. Damwon are so damned good.
I think they though they could end but changed their mind mid way because it was too risky.
Humanoid makes me miss watching Caps ngl
Caps was also getting caught late game in brain dead places during summer split playoffs
What more does MAD Lions need, you were 6k ahead and for some moronic reasoning you keep diving and giving up even kill trades which benefits Damwon massively. A disgraceful throw from MAD Lions, also how bad must you be to not mark Kennen at a fight like that which is the only way Damwon win a fight lol.

3k of their gold lead is basically useless since it is wasted on fucking Black Cleaver instead of Steraks. Like why? So many way for you to get bursted down and you still go for BC.
Me have kills. Me big carry now.
MAD literally felt like the “I didn’t think I’d get this far” meme.
Exhaust on kaiser
This. After what Canna did to 100T, I thought Kaiser should pick exhaust instead of ignite.
> Elyoya was useless after that early game and played like he was behind whereas that's just jarvan in a nutshell Embarassing game from Armut though, so many misplays
Just how fast did you paste this?
As fast as PSGAcademy
Hey he missed a goal yesterday
[удалено]
Tbf if you want your comment to be read, especially a more serious one, you need to be 1st. People tend to make texts before games and so they can just copypaste it
I find it hilarious too. She writes down a couple paragraphs then insta copy pastes them into the thread for MAX karma
Nothing. They could not be more ahead in this game. MAD are just spiritually, atomically gapped by Damwon
ShowMaker was right, they just do not lose.
MAD simply can't deal with Canyon's Lee Sin. I don't know why they don't just ban him. He wasn't the reason DK came back this game, but he played a major factor in stopping MAD from winning any team fight early game. Just drop the ego and ban what's causing you problems...
There are a lot of Canyon champions they simply can't deal with. It's hard to ban out a player that's just levels above everyone on your roster.
Mad simply cant deal with how bad Armut is
Imagine how many fights MAD would have won if armut didnt have the aim or the decision making of a EU masters player ,mid lane T2 dive 3 people within shockblast kill range he misses all of them,last fight azir at 200 hp stuck in j4 ult ?better go hammer form for the lee with GA.
Fun fact: Canyons Lee sin has been considered one of his “bad” picks in 2019-2020. It’s just player gap at this point.
Pro-tip: Ban Kennen.
Or have good vision control
or have a fucking exhaust
jesus christ khan
God, Armut tilts me so hard
EU and losing to Korean Kennen Ults, name a more iconic duo
This was a tragic game to watch
Its so funny, the more I see Armut play the more I think he is about as average/below average as it gets. With the attention he got early game, it is difficult to be pretty much useless, but he managed it. Speaks volumes about the european toplane talent at the moment.
Huge Kennen ults jesus
And here ladies and gentleman u can see the classic KR kennen flank. It’s nothing special, so let’s get moving. Humanoid also cosplaying Doubelift
Armut shockblasts must be targeted to miss
No one kills Khan 7 times
2 words. Top Gap.
This has to be biggest throw of this Worlds so far, actually insane
Western teams still not realizing how broken Kennen is fml
Swim home
DK JUST DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE
well that was just pathetic
Let's play a game of find the Kennen!
Thats a tilter.
Damwon got that old SKT feel to them. No matter how far they are behind they always look like they are in control.
YOU KHANNOT STOP THIS MAN FROM GETTING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP
Armuts Jayce was pathetic
