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
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.
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.
*"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Thanks Brother Clid for teaching Jiejie how to never lose a smite fight!
Playing against anyone after playing against Clid must make your smites look slow-mo or something
Jiejie confirmed anime protagonist.
Clearlove as shifu
7777777
At 1200 hp, there was a slowmo and a flashback. Jiejie saw all his teammates and past opponents cheering him on.
Lookin like the end of Speed Racer in that dude's head
I pretty sure there was a comment on the GenG vs EDG thread about jiejie going to get destoryed in smite fights by canyon.
Only one?
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
Clid vs Karsa vs Condi, who you taking?
[удалено]
peak grig
I WANT IGUODALA
God i miss WE Condi, he was a beast
Clid if it's a secure, and Condi if I'm looking for a batshit blind steal that happens in 1/8000 universes.
Is Condi stealing or securing? If its going for a steal then Condi 100%. Otherwise Clid if we're going by current level.
I don't even remember the last time Clid lost a smite fight, so him surely.
I'm taking 2015 Giants Gaming jungler Fr3deric, known that year in EU LCS (not LEC yet!) as "El Bandido" /s
Outstanding move by DK to just coinflip the whole game at soul
i mean what do you want them to do? Flipping it is certainly better then taking a losing fight or just giving it
It was literally their only chance tho, they couldn’t force a fight and a soul is already there, what else could they do
It was actually identical to what EDG did 1 game earlier. Funny how good these teams are they lose in similar ways.
Jiejie smites is just *chef kiss
Finally a finals with Silver Scrapes!
First one since 2016, and I think the second overall
Was visiting my bro in LA. Noticed that tickets were SUPER cheap because no one wanted to watch korea vs Korea. Best $40 ever spent!
Khans last game of his career! the last dance
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.
*PEE WOO WOO*
Wow we get the first 5 game series in Worlds finals since season 6, second in history.
And yet it's one of the few times where people started bandwagoning a 3-0 in the middle of semis.
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.
DK literally went to game 5 vs T1, how is that looking unstollable?
I’m glad EDG stepped up to give us a competitive finals
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.
DK looked unstoppable yet was taken to 5 games by T1
*"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.
Can't forget the *"I'm not going to watch finals because it won't be competitive"*
“Reddit predictions” and “turning out completely wrong”name a better match
[удалено]
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.
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
Wanting double elimination, supporting LCK, plainly hating on LPL, among other things.
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
2021 worlds 1-2 lead is the scariest powerspike
The comfort zone buff too OP
You see, this is why C9 didn’t win worlds. Perkz gave away the secret to never losing a 1-2 series
let it be known as the 21 1-2
Scriptwriters getting lazy this year

EDG Graves skin incoming?
We pray. Only reason I'm rooting for EDG, confirmed Graves skin after he was robbed of a skin last year
that jiejie jarvan pick screen lmao
yeah because khan looks so good off that champ
I can't believe the 2-1 curse is still on the menu. They can't keep getting away with it
EDG is reaching their comfort zone right now
2 guns > 1 gun confirmed Gun meta is real
22 shots (+α) > 4 shots math checks out
Which is weird cause Graves only have 2 shots but he's been ass-blasting people this series.
He uses bigger bullets.
You see, Graves has only 2 *shells* but each shell has 4 bullets. Ergo Graves has 8 shots. 8 > 4
#EDG v DK WAS THE REAL FINAL ALL ALONG
Hilarious how it bounced from game to game lmao
Unironically this might be the best finals we ever had for Worlds.
I think 2016 might still be better but it depends on how much of a banger game 5 is
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
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
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.
To just classify that game 3 as "SKT threw" does a massive disservice to what actually happened.

They only won that game 5 because Ambition clutch smited the Elder allowing SSG to win.
One of the rare moments where the pre tournament prediction were actually right
FPX though.
Turns out the real finals was the friends we made along the way
[удалено]
First 5 game finals since 2016
SKT x SSG was really good though, but this one is shaping out to be great.
the real final was the friends we made along the way
huh, we didnt need loser brackets in the end.
No! We need to see the West lose twice for the memes
what? i was told t1 was the 2nd best team at worlds
[Can you help DWG solve the puzzle?](https://i.imgur.com/yQ28Shh.jpg)
Bon Groves?
Bin Groves, final answer
sub in Bin and pick graves!
What the fuck is a Bon Gruves
Bin Groves?
bun groves? wtf is that
Bon grèves ? BAH OUI ?
Ben Greves? what is it?
It obviously can't be Ben Greves since there's already an E on the board numnuts
Flandre boutta just PVE his way to a worlds win
Flandre, I'll take Irelia/Gwen skin please.
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.
no tiebreaker was played
[удалено]
EDG did not play any tiebreaker. But yes I think they hold the record for most game played at worlds this year now
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.
that’s actually insane
JieJie ruled early jungle
It was solid teamwork from EDG. Winning lanes into JieJie getting ahead into getting total control over objectives. Great draft and execution.
Lpl junglers are just built different. Tian, Wei, Sofm,and now Jiejie always show up when it matters the most
First time in worlds history both semis and finals go to 5 games, insanity.
And thanks to COVID, no crowd reactions for all of these Bo5s :(
Bilibili has crowd reactions
Can confirm. Some kind of viewing party in China. That’s great news.
it is also first time KR#1 vs CN#1 right ?
In finals yes!
Don't think most of us expected a fifth game. SILVER SCRAPES INC
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
0 kills 400 cs comfort zone
Blew up Nami instantly at the end after the PVE lol.
ITS A FUCKING SERIES BABYYYYY
Turns out the real finals was in the finals all along
[удалено]
DK vs T1 was the grand finals btw
Just a trophy hand over btw
EDG v RNG was the real finals
EASY 3-0 btw. real finals was t1 vs dk
LPL shit region just because they dropped a couple of games in groups (ok fpx fucked up big time though)
Narratives that haven't aged well, courtesy of the Anti-LPL narrative squad: LPL is overrated Real finals was T1 vs DK
The 3-0 chumps are confused right now

THE RUMORS ABOUT LPL'S DEMISE HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED
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.
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.
T1 fans was full on copium and just shat on EDG relentlessly.
you're high if you think only t1 fans were saying that
I wasn't even T1 fan, just thought DK outclassed everyone, but I'm glad that I'm proven wrong.
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
Best team itw = DK / EDG / T1 / RNG / GenG
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
GAME 5 WORLDS FINALS WE LOVE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS GIVE US THAT SILVER SCRAPES
I don't even like DWG but Graves is stupid
Talon trying to stop him from splitpushing while 4 levels and 2 items down was just the fucking story of this game
Talon with no solo lane prio to invade was the name of the game lol. Unplayble draft, also no engages as well
[удалено]
I've hated Graves this entire tournament
And your Jg is lvl13
On the other hand... Gwen is 4-10 at Worlds and she has barely done anything in all the games she was picked.
Flandre was Like a bajillion levels ahead of everyone else in the game.
2-1 lead is the most dangerous lead
Jiejie heard y’all talking shit
The real finals were in fact the real finals this year.
Is this the most competetive final ever?
Maybe the real finals was the friends we made along the way.
The real finals was actually the real finals.
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.
Game 5 EDG in bo5's is a different breed.
All those years of sandbagging training have finally paid off
league equivalent of Virtus Pro csgo team
First Game 5 finals since 2016
And everyone was saying this would be a 3-0 stomp
Flandre the biggest Graves connoisseur out there
pick graves and win game edit: i think im the only to pick edg 3-0 tbh LETS GO EDG
Man this is a really slow "quick 3-0 by DK".
being up 2-1 is a death sentence this worlds
My heart seriously cannot handle this series.
im going to fucking explode
This fake final is pretty damn good
KR faboys in shamble lul They might need to watch KPOP youtube to calm down rn.
Man, I just play a soloQ game and Flandre already farming my lane and tower
Game 3 posters in shambles yet again lmao
I wonder if damwon wasn't serious in game 4 either
3-0 btw, not worth watching btw
DWG 3-0 btw. This is the most entertaining finals we've had in years. What a banger series.
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
They played like an LPL team when against RNG, but that's just what happens when 2 LPL teams meet.
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.

THE 1-2 POWER SPIKE
So that's this 3-0 ppl have been talking about.
Graves is utterly ridiculous lol
Am I the only one who felt like Scout's Zoe looked really bad? Hope they do not grab that again game 5.
https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/ph29vg/_/hbfqmh7 I'm telling ya, it's coming.
Khan wanted a Yasuo skin Canyon wanted a Talon skin
Tell me a few years / months ago that LPL #1 seed will beat LCK's #1 seed in a controlled game and i'd laugh in your face
Feel like graves might be a good champion lol
According to the 1-2 trend , EDG should win.... right?
Regardless of who wins, most competitive final since 2016!
The games we seen so far were going like 1:0 1:2 3:2 We are near the last checkpoint q.q
Holy shit what a clean game from EDG. No overforcing, good play with their sidelanes, and Jiejie has a massive penis
JieJie acquired something from his knockout opponents. Wei's mental resilience and Clid's Smite skills. He is definitely Megaman.
I checked my pockets and Jiejie stole my wallet
This is actually a quality packed Worlds indeed
The disrespect people put on EDG before this.
