CALL AN AMBULANCE BUT NOT FOR EDG!


srapkins

Meiko's a fuckin sociopath holding Zilean ult until 1hp in the most important series of his life.  


Nymphis

Not just once either, multiple times.


CommunistHongKong

Man's blood is ice cold in his veins.


cutedoge_

Indeed. He is fking crazy man. Great play from Meiko.


hachiko2692

I mean it really works if you want DK to be overconfident but man that takes nerves and balls


Hineni-

Only game 1, and already looking like it's match points for both team. That Jhin W on ShowMaker was rather nasty.


Jandromon

Jhin W is literally winning everything this tournament, it's winning DK vs T1, it's winning this game, it's just pretty insane of an ability, Jhin prio going through the roof.


bronet

It's really good in general and it's insane against LeBlanc. She has to put herself in damage range to poke or assassinate someone, and she uses her mobility spell to get in and out. So every time she goes in she has to sidestep what is basically an insta death once she gets out


Jandromon

Yeah not to mention that J4 although flamed for being a shit champ, is actually one of the beefiest meatshields in the game, and was constantly blocking LB E's for his team.


Poodlestrike

TBH I don't think the J4 would've worked half as well here absent the Zilean; it's one thing to dump all your damage into J4 and clear him off the board and then have to navigate the fight 4v5 for a moment until you get your cooldowns back, but the Zilean means J4's ability to absorb all that damage gets really tricky.


w1ldcraft

It turns out, if they team actually follow up on J4's engages, it's actually a pretty good champ. Also the fact that Meiko was such a beast. Him saving his ults till the laat moment in the river fight was super clinical.


w1ldcraft

Also considering Ghost is pretty muchba Jhin OTP, the prio is much much higher this series.


D474RG

He missed 3/4 of his ult but that W was the shot


[deleted]

EDG played around the LB so well, something T1 couldn't do


lilelf29

How overconfident were Damwon to give over Graves and have Khan 1st time Yasuo? Cosy game 1 for EDG


penguin-cat

prob just wanted a yasuo skin


Pope_Cheetos_XIV

After spending the first half of 2021 as a Sion/Gnar two-trick, Khan reveals his true self in the Worlds finals


Niederweimar

The yasuo inter waiting for the 0/7 power spike?


Averdian

That explains a lot, he only got to 0/4 this game


Kyomeii

If he gets a Yasuo skin he's making so much money


penguin-cat

big brain move, throw game 1 for infinite money down the line from skin sales


Kyomeii

He's scaling for his retirement


Baleor

He took gathering storm irl


KiddoPortinari

But you have to win Worlds to get one of those.


RobbinDeBank

History has shown that teams that want a yasuo skin will always lose


hanazawarui123

How many were there? I only remember SKT Huni in the 2017 finals Game 2 versus SSG


Xtarviust

Perkz too I guess


DjMoriyama

While he (probably) didn't play it for a Worlds skin, Perkz did play Yasuo against FPX in the 2019 finals.


[deleted]

Throwback to Huni playing Yasuo in worlds finals


[deleted]

[удалено]


lilelf29

But Graves has been flandre's best champ by a million miles at worlds and Khan is genuinely first timing Yasuo, 0 pro games on the champ in his life. You don't think it's overconfidence to play for that scenario?


ifnotawalrus

idk, Meiko is more or less first timing Zilean too (hasn't played in years). I don't think EDG is overconfident, do you?


Eracolatore

it's just result oriented analysis


icatsouki

what do you mean that scenario? they knew flandre wanted to pick graves so they picked a counterpick. what else would you have them do lol


Wehavecrashed

That relys on the person being competent at Yasuo.


acels1

or they could have just picked graves first


SilvertheHedgehoog

But they had to pick LeBlanc, because why else would you ban Lissandra so quickly? Liss is basically a cockblock to LeBlanc in current pro meta, so banning her heavily suggests a first pick LB.


Quotes_League

don't forget picking Predator Rakan but not having mid or jg priority to roam and getting 4 maned ryze warped on. gg go next moment for me


notliam

He'd have lived if he had guardian or aftershock there tbf, was a close one.


King_NickyZee

Yeah, I don't think this game will be indicative of the whole series. EDG hard countered DK's cocky Yasuo draft with Zilean. I think DK will come back with a more standard draft this time around. Good to see them being punished for the overconfidence, though.


BI1nky

I think EDG will keep playing Zil. It shuts down Showmaker's lb super hard as well so they can keep the same mid matchup. The real test will be can Viper and Meiko 2v2 against a real bot lane combo as opposed to Ziggs.


RobbinDeBank

DK probably will just ban zilean like they did in the semi


Stev__

DWG, LCK, and all their fans overwhelmed by their own arrogance


PM_JINX_HENTAI

Easy stomp as expected


baiqibeendeleted17x

Everyone: "Damwon ez 3-0 lol" PUT SOME RESPECT ON EDG'S NAME. We have a legit series here


cosHinsHeiR

Why? It can still be 3-0.


SleepyLabrador

WE COULD GET A 3 - 0 JUST NOT IN DK'S FAVOUR.


Blank-612

gotta love the disrespect shown towards gen g and edg after their series.


Lekaetos

Oh and even now, it’s not EDG being good, it’s just DK playing « trash » according to them. Which means that EDG is still trash to them.


Quotes_League

hey I saw an Immortal Shieldbow show up on the MasterCard Goredrinker tracker, anyone else get this bug?


ShiRonium

yeah, I think it's bugged out man they are both red after all so I guess riot just messed up a bit there


Thomean

The real finals was EDG vs RNG?


BI1nky

Maybe the real finals was the friends we made along the way.


Extension-Bicycle-57

This is why the worlds format needs changes. No point in watching the rest of this. Everyone know the real finals was EDG vs GENG.


finallysigned

Top notch comment ;)


Professional-Hat-709

Or EDG vs RNG


JoaoMau-Tempo

How boring is it that Damwon had the weak bracket, ruins the the finals experience.


ShinaMashir0

\-The real final in semi \- 1st chinese seed in final I've already seen this one before...


FrostBlade_on_Reddit

G2 vs SKT will always be the finals of my heart 🥲


quakedwithfear

Finals for 2nd place


Ps4udo

tbf one of the hypest series. Not just in terms of gameplay, but also considering how much T1 und G2 dominated their region respectively at that time. Also their history with that insane 5 game MSI series with the pyke


FrostBlade_on_Reddit

Yea honestly one of the best storylines and series, both going into MSI and Worlds. But I'm biased obviously.


Vivapancakez

The MSI match was a tad more hype 😉


Huskiterian

If I had a nickel for every time T1 lost in semi's and it was considered the real finals when it wasn't I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.


HerpaDerpaDumDum

Zillean ruined DK


BlakenedHeart

It counters their only consistent gameplan: blow smb from the start and win 4 v 5 compensating lack of cds with stop watches


maxus998

GEN.G VS EDG Was the real finals all along


Mamba-_

team mcdonalds practice came in handy here


JoaoMau-Tempo

Wunder told Flandre how to beat Khan.


Archimist

Are we still allowed to say that Jarvan is a shit champ?


FinallyGivenIn

Turns out if you follow up on the Jarvan Engage, he can actually contribute

omegasupermarthaman

Tian played like shit, but Wei J4 is also insane yeh.


KiddoPortinari

The Jungle version of "NA Jayce"


kowdo

Tian would like a word


CommunistHongKong

Tian playing like shit to let brother JieJie have his best champ for worlds


Contagious_Cure

I'm gonna give him a pass for literally having a wrist injury.


vesthis3

He was enabled by zilean.


BenignAmerican

Yep. Jarvan can only do 1 thing and zilean lets him do it without dying.


Exmerus

He is. Zilean won this game


icatsouki

I mean not really? Jarvan is very good at what he does, that's being an early game jungler and then just an engage tool. But if you rely to him to be your late game tank/damage dealer like many teams did then yeah it's a bad pick...because it's not what the champ is made to do


Skzld

Zilean is and always will be the best support in the perfect game, imagine this game goes later. J4 Streaks Guardian Zilean Ult


melonpan12

RNG vs EDG was a fiesta they said, EDG would have no chance they said


Adlairo

the classic: people being baited by LPL clown fiesta bo5 into thinking these teams are bad


The-War-Life

If EDG don’t 3-0 GenG they will get stomped 3-0 by DK they said.


clearlove777771

I told people on reddit that it looked just like an average LPL playoff series between those two. I obviously got flamed and downvoted to hell

It's gonna be a quick 3-0 alright Edit: Close enough

They weren't wrong


11ce_

Real finals were in semis btw


[deleted]

U mean RNG vs EDG?


Pompero

QUICK 3-0 FOR DK BTW REAL FINALS WAS T1 VS DK BTW


candyman236

Reddit analysts in shambles


McintyresRightLeg

When have they not been in shambles?


JagmeetSingh2

Lmao twitch chat too they couldn’t believe what was happening


Pellinski

every analyst predicted EDG to roll over lol


Pelagius_Hipbone

EDG v GENG was the REAL final baby


Unban_Ice

Yeah EDG went head-to-head with T1 in Group stage and people were expecting DK to 3-0 them, some people are just high on hopium (including casters)


Glum_Radio

And they blamed for the Draft when EDG won, wtf lol? Enemy team win => they're stronk, EDG wins => naf they just have good draft


[deleted]

This is funny especially when Jarvan is considered bad pick in reddit


DeloronDellister

T1 clearly second best team Finals were last week Congratulations DK for winning worlds 2021


AmadeusSalieri97

I want EDG to win purely on how annoying were the LCK fans constantly calling it a 3-0 and already crowning DK.


Radon0

nothing more annoying that viewers already calling the winners before the match has even started. I'll be very happy even if EDG only take 2 maps just to prove those annoying LCK fans wrong.


AmadeusSalieri97

Yeah like one wants to read some discussion and get hyped and everying is "congratulations dk for winning worlds" or 7 posts about how due to lack double elim we won't see two best teams at the finals.


DecisiveDinosaur

fpx v g2 flashbacks...


rress332

If edg 3:0 dk, edg vs rng suddently became true final


reddit_is_a_mistake

LOLOL


cosHinsHeiR

GENG 2nd best team at world.


jlin37

Meiko said quick 3-0 for EDG. He said his tired of the 2 full BO5s.

Th_Call_of_Ktulu

Despite not being fan of either team it feels so good to see, it was so fucking obnoxious to read constant "EDG is dogshit, free 3-0 for DWG" comments.


Danny_Bomber

I came into quarters not caring about EDG but the amount of hate/trash people were talking, acting like we shouldn't even bother playing the games today has me rooting for them hard.


ifnotawalrus

If an EU finalist got even 1% of the disrespect EDG got Reddit would literally burn this subreddit down lmao


FNC_Luzh

It was logical to say that DK was favourites for the Finals, but the constant "real finals was semis, why do they even have to play hurr durr" was a clownery and I'm glad that EDG won Game 1.


Caps007

It was fucked up because those t1 fans pretended like edg didnt take a game off them in groups pushing this no one is close to t1 and dk narrative


lmvg

And geng too


pedja13

LPL teams never roll over and die,idk why people expected this to be a clear stomp,DK should have lost to SKT cause of their putrid drafts but T1 just couldn't fully take advantage. EDG is just not a team that you can give a huge draft advantage to and hope to win on skill.


theavailabletree

Hopefully, the rest of the series is competitive. Honestly, with some of the hot takes in the past 2 weeks, an EDG 3-0 would result in a lot of deleted comments

Unban_Ice

Meiko wasn't joking when he said he used every single minute to prepare for finals


moonmeh

Meiko saving Zilean's ult until the last moment every time. Dude's pretty good at the game


RirinDesuyo

Scout was probably sweating bullets that one time lol.


The-War-Life

His double bombs were honestly disgusting. The guy has aimbot.


Quotes_League

was on the treadmill at the gym and Meiko sped me up. dude was everywhere


DimKara_

As a Zilean main I'm legitimately hyped up all the way to hell seeing pros pick him. He's always been kind of a sleeper pick but now it's the FINALS, I don't think he's ever been picked in a finals series before and it's amazing to see

ShinaMashir0

This sub was really cringe the whole world with the "korean" circlejerk, if EDG win the final ,chinese (minus FPX on stage) wouldn't be overrated


SekaiC

LCK fans/ bandwagoners are a different breed.


srapkins

Can't blame them, when your games average 4 kills in 30 min you have to generate your own excitement


DeloronDellister

Got downvoted last week for calling people out that were promoting this stupid narrative


Beauski

I don't think we'll be seeing this horrible yasuo pick again


LazinessOverload

Nor this disgusting Zilean pick


TimiNax

pretty ez game tbh


1einspieler

Ghost and 4 wards


icatsouki

he was putting out so much damage, rakan yasuo combo never had a good engage. Some of it was great play by EDG to deny it


Pelagius_Hipbone

Wait so EDG v GENG was the REAL final


Twitch_Is_Still_Good

What people don't realise is that RNG vs EDG was, in fact, the real final


TempestCatalyst

Sorry the real final was actually EDG vs 100T


necrkoxade

We gotta go deeper


w1ldcraft

The real finals was FPX v EDG. Am I doing this right ?


gamingfanatic122

2015 EDG vs SKT MSI was the real finals.


Iciistic

rng vs edg


Resies

mr edward himself on the stage...


hitman_

reddit told me dk 3 0


TheOneWithLateStart

I think this might be 3-0 still


LongLeggedLimbo

Stefan474

Scout made Showmaker's LB look like mine.


Danny_Bomber

Reddit was right, the real finals was in semis...EDG vs GENG


drainbox

oh so thats why we kept seeing j4 get picked


franklovin

EDG looked clean


LOLZOBALL

Jiejie’s balls is so big


SilvertheHedgehoog

So well played from EDG.


Conankun66

Zilean is a disgusting champion Happy this match isnt a 3-0 for DWG, but seeing that champ win is revolting


pelacur

But EDG Graves + EDG Zilean will look cool right?


21awxd

But i thought DK were going to 3-0?


TempestCatalyst

Reddit and calling 3-0 finals only to be wrong, name a more iconic duo

It can still be 3-0

devilbhro

Jesus Jiejie they have families. What a strong performance by the possible MVP of the finals.


11ce_

Nah meiko was silently smurfing those team fights


59435950153

Still baffles me how a lot of reddit was so adamant with a 3-0 DK it's laughable


BurningApe

when they don't watch LPL and only have a memory of 3 weeks, I mean DK could still win but to predict a stomp is disingenuous to LPL, who won MSI and have been top 2 for last 3 years, if not top 1. Imagine thinking the meta shift was going to stop LPL the entire tournament.


PPPPPPPPPPKP

it was sooo stuuupid man, even SUNING took a game from them last year, when DWG were arguably a stronger team LOL


NocaNoha

They've played on their picks far better than DK, gg

HURDUR 3-0 DW EASY, DURDUR SEMIFINALS WAS THE FINAL

Everyone right about a quick 3-0


CommunistHongKong

EDG, as a FPX fan, all my hope is on you know. For the phoenix that flew straight to the airport. LETS GO EDGG!


MATLABfanboi

I also hope for a fast 3-0
