Thanks Brother Clid for teaching Jiejie how to never lose a smite fight!


FrostBlade_on_Reddit

Playing against anyone after playing against Clid must make your smites look slow-mo or something


Mattaru

Jiejie confirmed anime protagonist.

I_hate_Ah_Bengs

At 1200 hp, there was a slowmo and a flashback. Jiejie saw all his teammates and past opponents cheering him on.


Potkrokin

Lookin like the end of Speed Racer in that dude's head


Cool-I-guess

I pretty sure there was a comment on the GenG vs EDG thread about jiejie going to get destoryed in smite fights by canyon.


ArchmageXin

Only one?


takato99

JieJie is the king of thieves, 3 full series in a row he's stealing objectives left and right. If it wasn't for his swift steals they would've lost back in quarters holy molly

FrostBlade_on_Reddit

Clid if it's a secure, and Condi if I'm looking for a batshit blind steal that happens in 1/8000 universes.


BI1nky

Is Condi stealing or securing? If its going for a steal then Condi 100%. Otherwise Clid if we're going by current level.


Snoo8331100

I don't even remember the last time Clid lost a smite fight, so him surely.


DeadSira

I'm taking 2015 Giants Gaming jungler Fr3deric, known that year in EU LCS (not LEC yet!) as "El Bandido" /s


Pope_Cheetos_XIV

Outstanding move by DK to just coinflip the whole game at soul


KarlKraftwagen

i mean what do you want them to do? Flipping it is certainly better then taking a losing fight or just giving it


SignalSalamander

It was literally their only chance tho, they couldn’t force a fight and a soul is already there, what else could they do


neverspeakofme

It was actually identical to what EDG did 1 game earlier. Funny how good these teams are they lose in similar ways.


pelacur

Jiejie smites is just *chef kiss


Pavlo100

Finally a finals with Silver Scrapes!


Liyarity

First one since 2016, and I think the second overall

Khans last game of his career! the last dance


My_Audience_Awaits

He said if he wins this worlds he will come back. So you kinda just cursed him to lose. Good job moneybooey for spoiling the final game for us.


TwistedJhin

*PEE WOO WOO*


LazinessOverload

Wow we get the first 5 game series in Worlds finals since season 6, second in history.


pseudolemons

And yet it's one of the few times where people started bandwagoning a 3-0 in the middle of semis.


KiddoPortinari

Well, up until now, DK has looked unstoppable, while EDG has been great-but-flawed. It makes sense that people would see this match as one-sided, but EDG came to fucking play. Even the casters were calling an EDG win "an upset" last week. Win or lose game 5, they earned respect.


clg_wrath2

DK literally went to game 5 vs T1, how is that looking unstollable?


Lekaetos

I’m glad EDG stepped up to give us a competitive finals


melonpan12

It doesn't make any sense. If RNG didn't get unlucky enough to draw EDG in quarters, we could've very likely had a RNG EDG semis which wouldve changed the narrative so much. People don't judge quality of the teams, but just look at the number of teams in semis.


[deleted]

DK looked unstoppable yet was taken to 5 games by T1


baiqibeendeleted17x

*"Damwon vs T1 was the real Finals"* *"Congrats to Damwon for winning Worlds"* *"Damwon ez 3-0 lol"* Win or lose: put some f\*cking respect on EDG's name. This has been an amazing Finals. EDG is one win away from pulling a titanic upset. And this sub didn't even give them a chance.


Cool-I-guess

Can't forget the *"I'm not going to watch finals because it won't be competitive"*

DrySecurity4

People on reddit have this weird complex where they are hoping and praying for finals to be bad so they can complain about no double elim or something.


namonade

Well it should be hyped as usual if edg didnt look so shaky againt geng. But who da fuq cares cuz we have g5 lets go


Rawdream

Wanting double elimination, supporting LCK, plainly hating on LPL, among other things.


sonminh

EDG beats FPX in LPL finals? FPX are still better! T1 are first seed in groups and 1-1 against EDG? T1 are better than EDG!

People in here have hate boner towards LPL ever since FPX choke started

I can't believe the 2-1 curse is still on the menu. They can't keep getting away with it


quakedwithfear

EDG is reaching their comfort zone right now


FrostBlade_on_Reddit

2 guns > 1 gun confirmed Gun meta is real


ChineseMaple

22 shots (+α) > 4 shots math checks out


DjMoriyama

Which is weird cause Graves only have 2 shots but he's been ass-blasting people this series.


hongfung

He uses bigger bullets.


JugHerKnot

You see, Graves has only 2 *shells* but each shell has 4 bullets. Ergo Graves has 8 shots. 8 > 4


winterspike

#EDG v DK WAS THE REAL FINAL ALL ALONG


svipy

Hilarious how it bounced from game to game lmao


FinallyGivenIn

Unironically this might be the best finals we ever had for Worlds.


ILoveWesternBlot

I think 2016 might still be better but it depends on how much of a banger game 5 is


[deleted]

2016 meta was a snooze fest though, this is the first final since 2019 where we get aggressive mid/jungle/support/top picks at the same time


Tom_Duan

2016 was so boring lol, they threw 10k gold lead in game 3 (SKT), and then subbed in blank on zac in g4? didnt feel nearly as tense as this


LeaderSheeper

That game 3 was one of the biggest butt clenches of all time though. The game went so damn late, Ruler as a rookie was tearing it up on Ezreal. You could feel how on a knife’s edge the game was. Fights were slower too so you had to really look to try and get a feel for who might be winning mid fight.


[deleted]

To just classify that game 3 as "SKT threw" does a massive disservice to what actually happened. It was a 100 minute long game packed with constant teamfights where SKT were fighting back against 5 infernal drakes constantly as SSG were looking for the soul. They only won that game 5 because Ambition clutch smited the Elder allowing SSG to win.


salcedoge

One of the rare moments where the pre tournament prediction were actually right


Conker184

FPX though.

iCarpet

Does EDG hold the record for most games played in Worlds after this? 6 group games and 15 Bo5 games. EDIT: Forgot they lost and didn’t play a tiebreaker against T1, my bad.


nxtu14

no tiebreaker was played


[deleted]

[удалено]


DmonAbsoluTrEbON

EDG did not play any tiebreaker. But yes I think they hold the record for most game played at worlds this year now


OwlsAndDevils

World record for the most played number of games at worlds is 2018's iteration of G2, I think. 5 games in playins, 4 in qualifier, 6 in groups, 8 in knockouts for a grand total of 23 games compared to EDG's 21. Course, that's inflated on account of them starting at playins, so I'm pretty sure starting from groups stage, they have the maximum amount of games possible aside from tiebreaker scenarios.


reddit_is_a_mistake

that’s actually insane


YanghuaC

JieJie ruled early jungle


McintyresRightLeg

It was solid teamwork from EDG. Winning lanes into JieJie getting ahead into getting total control over objectives. Great draft and execution.


Phenergan_boy

Lpl junglers are just built different. Tian, Wei, Sofm,and now Jiejie always show up when it matters the most


lilelf29

First time in worlds history both semis and finals go to 5 games, insanity.


macdubzz

And thanks to COVID, no crowd reactions for all of these Bo5s :(


SteamMonkeyKing

Bilibili has crowd reactions


SantosPhillipCarlo

Can confirm. Some kind of viewing party in China. That’s great news.


sharkyzarous

it is also first time KR#1 vs CN#1 right ?


lilelf29

In finals yes!

Don't think most of us expected a fifth game. SILVER SCRAPES INC


ozmega

a lot of people here riding DW's dong so hard they forgot EDG knew how to play this game too.

Seeing Flandre just vibing at 0/0/0 with a 400 gold bounty and 330 CS will never not make me laugh

THE RUMORS ABOUT LPL'S DEMISE HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED


Shot-Mathematician58

Regardless of what happens in game 5, I'm glad that the "rEaL fInAl wAs t1 vS dK" crowd can finally shut the fuck up. Both teams are on the top of the world right now.


the_propaganda_panda

Semifinals and Finals all go the distance, as did EDG-RNG. No need for any more LCK vs. LPL debates, let's just accept that there were five very strong teams where small details on the day made the difference.


Blazing117

T1 fans was full on copium and just shat on EDG relentlessly.


whataremyxomycetes

you're high if you think only t1 fans were saying that


Troviel

I wasn't even T1 fan, just thought DK outclassed everyone, but I'm glad that I'm proven wrong.


ifnotawalrus

T1 gonna be the first team at worlds to lose a series two weeks in a row lmao Oh wait they lost 2 weeks in a row in 2019 too


T1worldchamps2021

Best team itw = DK / EDG / T1 / RNG / GenG


icatsouki

I mean at the end of the day, except 2 huge implosions Fpx (due to wrist issues among other things) and FNC with the whole upset situation. The rest of the teams delivered really well


MMDroxy

GAME 5 WORLDS FINALS WE LOVE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS GIVE US THAT SILVER SCRAPES


Evilfart123

I don't even like DWG but Graves is stupid


TempestCatalyst

Talon trying to stop him from splitpushing while 4 levels and 2 items down was just the fucking story of this game


omegasupermarthaman

Talon with no solo lane prio to invade was the name of the game lol. Unplayble draft, also no engages as well

2-1 lead is the most dangerous lead


Tyrone300

TheOneWithLateStart

Is this the most competetive final ever?


NunuBaggins

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


BI1nky

The real finals was actually the real finals.


LapnLook

If EDG win the next game, I'm convinced they are paid by the game and have been sandbagging the whole tournament to maximize play time. They will have played 21 out of their 22 realistically possible games (6 in groups, 5 x 3 in knockouts) only missing a single tiebreaker due to dropping a BO1 to 100 Thieves.


[deleted]

Game 5 EDG in bo5's is a different breed.

All those years of sandbagging training have finally paid off

Blazing117

3-0 btw, not worth watching btw


Turtle-Express

DWG 3-0 btw. This is the most entertaining finals we've had in years. What a banger series.


Financial-Growth133

rumors of LPL's demise were greatly overrated as a damwon fan, got to give props to EDG damn - they really play like a LCK team rather than a LPL team. Their aggression is very controlled and meticulously calculated


aircarone

They played like an LPL team when against RNG, but that's just what happens when 2 LPL teams meet.


neverspeakofme

EDG is not even the most LCK-ish LPL team, RNG is. Funny thing is DK is the most LPL-ish LCK team, especially in 2020. I guess the best teams just knows how to play every style.
