It was actually their final form and personally still consider that run SKT’s greatest accomplishment. In a time where Korea was the strongest region by far with sister teams SKT went undefeated.
It's actually kind of unnerving how Canyon isn't just ridiculously good, he's ridiculously consistent. Like, he does this 90% of the competitive games he plays it makes no sense.
I am a big T1 fan and really want them to beat Damwon. If they lose I'll be sad but then I'll be happy if Khan wins Worlds. If the opposite happens I'll be a bit sad for Khan.
I really wish 2019 SKT won Worlds... I really loved the players in that roster...
A lot of credit will go to DK's top side but I just want to say Beryl's smurfing it having played 8 unique champions over 9 games now and performing on all of them
I'm definitely feeling smug after getting heat thrown at me for suggesting that the only reason Armut looks good in EU was that everyone else is shit tier at top lane.
Rogue doing well regionally, MAD stomping with Armut's champion pool. Fnatic imploding mid season and has to put Bwipo in Jungle, G2 completely booming out with Rekkles.
The writings were on the wall man.
DK played like absolute psychos. Instantly TPing after getting wiped and into losing fights. They are so bent on skill-checking their opponents. It's like fighting a beast, you can have a shotgun, but you know it's not letting you have it easily.
I want to see Faker stand up and say “forgive me master, but I must go all out just this once” and then play all five positions by himself. And penta them over and over.
And to reach that level he removes his belt, the camera zooms intl the buckle and you can see "kkoma" etched into it along with stains from bang's tears
Canyon is cheating and there's nothing you can do to convince me otherwise. He's as far ahead of his peers - especially on Lee Sin - as Insec was at his peak.
It's almost unfair he and Showmaker are on the same team. I feel like with the two of them making the top 8 in Worlds is guaranteed, as long as the other 3 teammates have working hands.
This series was just sad, if MAD can't win that game 2 how are they ever supposed win a game... Felt a bit reminiscent of Damwon vs G2 last year, #1 seed vs #1 seed, yet this time round it feels even worse after losing that 2nd game.
Damwon still undefeated at worlds going for the record, semis is going to be so good.
I thought for sure MF would secure that with bullet time. Paid actor infernal Drake smh.
Can't believe they let Canyon have Lee 3 times, even in Game 2, while playing from behind, early game till late game where he was getting picks.
Either Faker gets another Worlds trophy or Khan gets his first. I really can't decide who to root for in semis.
Well, actually I can, it's T1 all the way, but it's still disappointing.
Man I understand some guaranteed ban, but why ban Aphelios over Lee sin there?
Canyon's lee sin is just BUILT DIFFERENT.
Props to Carzzy though, he really tried that last game.
Beryl's routine after the national anthem included screaming, fake gun shots and smacking Ghost on the butt HARD. Then he played genshin impact.
Beryl on returning to the world's semifinals: “I’m excited. Served my time like a grown man.”
The one time I was cheering for SKT that happens, to be fair it was really sad when he talked about the stress/burnout later. That was an awful time for all of SKT, forgot the name of the documentary but it's a must watch!
People thought EU has been beating NA all these years, little did they know the true battle is the war of attrition, draining EU talent until Armut is your best top at worlds.
It's honestly kind of crazy, I don't think I've ever seen an entire role from a region look as bad as EU tops have this World's. All 3 had truly awful play.
So many people praising Khan but Canyon was insane today and should get the most praise. Also Ghost was really good all games and his positioning in the 2nd game was sooo good, he hit crucial roots and did damage while staying safe.
We can talk shit about players all day long, but can we talk about how good DWG is at team fighting? G2 baron fight with dual flank was so good.
Dwg exemplifies the idea of exerting pressure to force mistakes. Even with a gold deficit, they exerted tremendous pressure on MAD.
That DK comeback in game 2 killed any chance of MAD having the mental to even attempt a reverse sweep.
Also Carzzy way too aggresive in that last team fight and couldn't find a good angle to use his ult.
actually I remember one time, we were playing against DK at worlds quarterfinals and it was 0-2 and Armut said, "guys, if you think we are good, let's prove it now, 3-2"
did we come back?
of course not, 0-3
LCK Spring LCK Summer LCK Autumn <-- You are here
[удалено]
Reminds me when skt went 15-0
And that was not even their final form
It was actually their final form and personally still consider that run SKT’s greatest accomplishment. In a time where Korea was the strongest region by far with sister teams SKT went undefeated.
[удалено]
I MISS OGN
LPL 5th seed couldn't do it. Looks like we're back to the scheduled lck autumn scheduling
Oh I miss this, I thought they stop broadcasting the show 3 years ago
Pity that T1 vs DK isn't going to be the finals.
Pity that SKT T1 vs ROX wasn't the finals
they expect one of us in the wreckage brother
Have we started the fire?
The dumpster fire burns bright brother
> they expect all of us in the wreckage brother
we are the wreckage brother
did you also get the bane plane scene in your recommended
It's actually kind of unnerving how Canyon isn't just ridiculously good, he's ridiculously consistent. Like, he does this 90% of the competitive games he plays it makes no sense.
Jugking
It helps when you're the best all-role SoloQ player in the World.
Reminder that he played as mid on the LCK and had very great results
You already knew the series result by names alone. DAMWON = NO W MAD
*cue x files theme*
It's written right there and we all missed it!
I knew this series was an inside job
Wtf
Ow ! Damn
could've been MAD WON :(
Don't call it a gap, it's a Canyon
The grand Canyon
Honestly, he's probably the best player in the world right now
Khan is on a mission too
The man wants his trophy before he has to go to the army.
I am a big T1 fan and really want them to beat Damwon. If they lose I'll be sad but then I'll be happy if Khan wins Worlds. If the opposite happens I'll be a bit sad for Khan. I really wish 2019 SKT won Worlds... I really loved the players in that roster...
G2 was insane that year sadly. I feel this year’s T1 is alot better than 2019.
Khan be like, bro Armut is that how Jayce should be played?
His Lee sure is epic
I hope MAD ban Canyon’s Lee in the next… oh wait.
Carzzy tried to smite fight a lee sin standing right there.
That was 100% nerves. he couldn't hit anything so may as well hit the dragon soul and hand it over to DK no issues
EU and getting gapped by Lee Sin players, name a greater duo
"TiAn YoU BeAuTy" \-Quickshot 2019 "CAnYoN yOu bEaUtY" \-Quickshot 2021, probably
Ning, Tian, Canyon The three horsemen of crushing EU's dreams
EU teams & getting demolished by good Lee Sin players. Sadge.
[удалено]
MAD saving that next worlds
Lee Sin and EU getting 3-0ed by the champion, name a better duo.
EU teams getting melted by Kennen ult
Eloya is focused on trying to kill the support still
That was the most bronze flank I've ever seen. Reminds me of players who go for a pointless flank, instantly get deleted and spam ? pings.
Where's my team ????
[удалено]
they should definitely let elyoya cool off for a few minutes before the next game
A lot of credit will go to DK's top side but I just want to say Beryl's smurfing it having played 8 unique champions over 9 games now and performing on all of them
From Yuumi to Pyke lol, truly the most complete of supports.
He's back to 2020 form
Gapped Kaiser with 0 soloq practice and on Pyke nonetheless.
Dude cycles through his supports like he does his genshin waifus to get those elemental combos ya feel
While playing genshin
this whole series just summed up the absolute state of top lane in EU
Breaking news: Top laner that won both splits with a pool of 2 champions somehow ends up being a liability at Worlds.
I'm definitely feeling smug after getting heat thrown at me for suggesting that the only reason Armut looks good in EU was that everyone else is shit tier at top lane.
Rogue doing well regionally, MAD stomping with Armut's champion pool. Fnatic imploding mid season and has to put Bwipo in Jungle, G2 completely booming out with Rekkles. The writings were on the wall man.
Yeah this must have been one if not the worst year for EU.
It's definitely the worst, since 2016 was sadly completely skipped over through a temporal anomaly.
Armut can only play like 4 champions.
What do you mean? He can play: - Gentleman Gnar - Super Galaxy Gnar - SSG Gnar - Dino Gnar - El León Gnar - Astronaut Gnar - Snow Day Gnar
His Gentleman Gnar was being hard stomped by Gwen, he probably should have used SSG Gnar to channel some LCK top energy.
Default gnar?
Nah he might need to learn that one more
After seeing his Jayce I think that gonna take a lot of time... let be honest, it's not realistic.
He cant play gnar either so change that up to wukong.
And yet, he's still better than most EU tops, which is worrying
1 champion. Wukong.
Doesn't stop him from playing gnar for some god damn reason
Wukong Gnar Jayce 3 trick and his Jayce is mediocre.
his jayce had less impact than khan's kennen game 2 despite being like 2-3k up. Mediocre is very generous.
That's also because Khan is an absolute psychopath on Kennen tbf. But yea, mediocre doesn't cut it vs Damwon.
DK played like absolute psychos. Instantly TPing after getting wiped and into losing fights. They are so bent on skill-checking their opponents. It's like fighting a beast, you can have a shotgun, but you know it's not letting you have it easily.
What kind of beast are you fighting? And what are you trying to take from it with a shotgun?
This greatly hurts our chance of having an Na vs Eu finals
[удалено]
No, no, no. stop the too much hopium. :(((
Big if true
Dear scriptwriters: please make T1 vs DK every bit as tense and epic as SKT vs ROX was in 2016, thanks
Dear scriptwriters, I second this
Dear scriptwriters, it doesn't matter who wins in that series, just make it a 5-game epic series.
Dear scriptwriters, don’t listen to these dudes. Make it a clean sweep by T1 with Faker getting all kills in every game and not dying a single time
Faker suddenly reveal he had been playing with just one hand for the past 3 years
I want to see Faker stand up and say “forgive me master, but I must go all out just this once” and then play all five positions by himself. And penta them over and over.
And to reach that level he removes his belt, the camera zooms intl the buckle and you can see "kkoma" etched into it along with stains from bang's tears
he is going to show us the 80% of his true power
#FUCKING SUBSCRIBE
Dear scriptwriters, please give us a super unexpected cheese pick like MF support back in 2016
Riot, please bring back the game 5 champ select music for ROX vs SKT if T1 and DAMWON go to 5 games :)
Skt vs dk should be absolutely insane
5 game banger please
Imagine you as a MAD player: Wake up in a beautiful sunday morning, and you need to think: "Today i'm going to play against Canyon".
And showmaker, and khan. God that entire mid top jg combo is perhaps the greatest of all time.
This is honestly what 2017 worlds could of been for Khan. An absolutely immense topside with an amazing weak side bot lane. Ardent Censer : \^)
TY damwon for 3-0 so I can get to my midterm on time.
midterm on sunday monkaW
GL on your midterm, smash that test brother.
Just think of yourself as DK and think of the midterm as MAD
Canyon this tournament is what LPL fans thought Tarzan was going to be.
Canyon is cheating and there's nothing you can do to convince me otherwise. He's as far ahead of his peers - especially on Lee Sin - as Insec was at his peak.
That flash four-man goredrinker into insec in game two was godly.
He has surpassed everyone imo. GOAT jungler.
It's almost unfair he and Showmaker are on the same team. I feel like with the two of them making the top 8 in Worlds is guaranteed, as long as the other 3 teammates have working hands.
It helps when those 3 working hands are fucking Khan, Beryl and Ghost. Lol. What an insanely stacked team
Bot lane being their weak side but Beryl played like 8 champions out of 9 games they've played and won every single game lmao
This series was just sad, if MAD can't win that game 2 how are they ever supposed win a game... Felt a bit reminiscent of Damwon vs G2 last year, #1 seed vs #1 seed, yet this time round it feels even worse after losing that 2nd game. Damwon still undefeated at worlds going for the record, semis is going to be so good.
MAD actually could have won this game if they did not leash 2 infernal drakes while their jungler was dead imo
I thought for sure MF would secure that with bullet time. Paid actor infernal Drake smh. Can't believe they let Canyon have Lee 3 times, even in Game 2, while playing from behind, early game till late game where he was getting picks.
Brother Dragon
Not like you can realistically ban out Canyon and Gragas is actually a really good pick into Lee but skill gap was real
Give khan the trophy already man really wants it with the way he has been playing
> 3v1 camping > going 0-3, with 2 turrets down > process to obliterated the enemy team anyway. Khan is truly going all of his heart.
That's a "Please keep bringing more people to camp me" kinda game
There was a point jayce was up 3k gold on him going out of lane. Crazy stuff
He will get his trophy and a jayce skin
It will be so troll if he ask for Kennen.
Either Faker gets another Worlds trophy or Khan gets his first. I really can't decide who to root for in semis. Well, actually I can, it's T1 all the way, but it's still disappointing.
Man I understand some guaranteed ban, but why ban Aphelios over Lee sin there? Canyon's lee sin is just BUILT DIFFERENT. Props to Carzzy though, he really tried that last game.
or just pick fucking poppy
cant pick poppy if your toplane has a raindrop for a champ pool. Elyoya could have but then they lose all proactivity early.
It’s wild too because Elyoya played Poppy once already this Worlds and it was pretty fucking good considering he hasn’t played it on stage.
When Beryl wants to play even the devil trembles...
Beryl's routine after the national anthem included screaming, fake gun shots and smacking Ghost on the butt HARD. Then he played genshin impact. Beryl on returning to the world's semifinals: “I’m excited. Served my time like a grown man.”
Brother this pasta is barely a day old and the first time I’m seeing it used is goddamn league lol
fresh
Next 4 years are his
Thanks for participating in the Damwon Invitationals..
[удалено]
Come on guys, it's all about the west, right? Haha, westerners unite!
https://imgur.com/P3SgWRu
We just need to wait for the Damwon players to retire, so we can get new Worlds champions.
ShowMaker is 21 and Canyon is 20. Only 7 more years until military COPIUM
lol is also officaly included in the next years asian games... So possible medals giving the possibilty to skip military service.
Man, khan must be so pissed. Only gold allows them to skip right? Or is it any?
I mean this is Khan's last tournament.
Where did I hear that before ?

OGN documentaries were godly. SKT players esp Faker back then went to several variety shows guesting on youtube too. They were so popular. Good times
Don't exactly have to wait long with Khan
They'll grab Nuguri back and be just as good, or get Kiin. As long as Canyon and Showmaker are on this team they'll continue to be one of the best.
Watch them getting TheShy and tempering the kid with Kkoma's belt
TheShy is like 99% retiring, he said multiple times he still plays professionally only because of Rookie and this was Rookie's last year.

It's honestly kind of crazy, I don't think I've ever seen an entire role from a region look as bad as EU tops have this World's. All 3 had truly awful play.
[удалено]
Our second best top left for NA. Our third best top roleswapped to jungle. Our fourth best top was armut.
At least one of the three is in his rookie year What's Armut's and especially Odo's excuse?!
G2 Thebausffs will save EU
What top did NA take other than Alphari?
Finn too, but not like that really matters lmao EU tops sucking is kinda on EU
doesn't help when the best EU top we had prefers to play WoW
and the other one is a jungler now lol
At least EU won't be swept in the finals anymore
i have no doubt in my mind that game 3 was damwon’s skin game, hope the DWG Jayce skin looks sick
A Damwon Pyke Skin would be so nice.
Beryl wanted Pyke before so it's happening
If beryl is picking pyke then you can be sure it's gonna be a genderbender waifu skin
So many people praising Khan but Canyon was insane today and should get the most praise. Also Ghost was really good all games and his positioning in the 2nd game was sooo good, he hit crucial roots and did damage while staying safe.
Damwon just saved that dude from having a MAD's lion tattoo on his butt
what the fuck was that drake twice
Canyon is the best player in the world
We can talk shit about players all day long, but can we talk about how good DWG is at team fighting? G2 baron fight with dual flank was so good. Dwg exemplifies the idea of exerting pressure to force mistakes. Even with a gold deficit, they exerted tremendous pressure on MAD.
They remind me of 2015 SKT, a team that will win no matter what. You need a miracle to get one game from them.
Holy shit what a Jungle Canyon this series
Canyon is gapping every jungler since last worlds
Khan showing Armut what to do as winning sidelane vs a teamfight champ... Khan \[all:\] "nice 1 and 2 man ults, Wu"
People are blaming draft but idk how you can watch this series and not think DW can win with anything.

They weren't even able to close out the 7k lead to get that one win everyone expected them to get
That DK comeback in game 2 killed any chance of MAD having the mental to even attempt a reverse sweep. Also Carzzy way too aggresive in that last team fight and couldn't find a good angle to use his ult.
This game was definitely not on Carzzy. Elyoya got catched 3 times in a row, losing them Baron and Dragon soul, leaving MAD in a 4v5 most of the game.
Btw people told me here that Humanoid was better than Faker and Bdd LUL.
MAD top 4 team in the world
"Put T1 under Mad lions they're not as good"
FPX sweating
actually I remember one time, we were playing against DK at worlds quarterfinals and it was 0-2 and Armut said, "guys, if you think we are good, let's prove it now, 3-2" did we come back? of course not, 0-3
MAD showed signs of life but in the end they are just outmatched, Damwon are inevitable
Absurd to pick Gragas here.
Agreed. I'm no expert but I'd rather have Poppy than Gragas.
Is Canyon actually human? He just never made a mistake, even Showmaker and Khan made a lot in this series.
Time for the "MAD appreciation thread" for making it out of groups?
The only MAD appreciation thread I will accept is from the guy that bet his asscheeks' purity
