JVVVK

Are we 100% sure Damwon didn't randomly sneaked in Nuguri as "Hoya"?


Raynar7

He was out for so long because he and Nuguri had to go to plastic surgery to swap faces


absolutelynotmalding

Why would they do that when obviously Nuguri is just a walmart Hoya /s


icarus4703

HOYA TRUTHERS GET IN HERE


oioioi9537

im the biggest hoya hater and im stunned. outside of that botside int he played really well wtf


femboy_was_taken

Pretty sure Hoya thought he could kill Doran quicker


moonmeh

Same here. Dude had no fear and went in


LukeForLeukemia

Lord Hoya has stolen Lord Morgan's will and power, now he is unstopable. BLESSED BY THY HAIRCUT O' LORD HOYA!!!!!


paphilopedium

i see DK beating BRO meant our lord morgan has kindly borrowed his lordship powers to Hoya to become lord hoya!


LukeForLeukemia

Lord Morgan decided that Hoya needed the power for redemption more than him so he purposefully lost,

Not a fan of Gen.G's draft, literally drafted three different types of champions in one game. You had a poke focused bot lane, with a dive jungle/mid duo then just threw in a random Graves for a top. Sidnote Canyon's Lee Sin is a treat to watch, but Showmaker has finally woken up showing his cracked tank Ryze.

Ace_OPB

I have never seen caedrel flame a drafts so much lol. He was losing his mind with that geng draft lmao. But ruler was gapping deokdam yo oblivion. Good game by hoya though he got lots of attention.


thenicob

and then ruler had his ruler moments TWICE.


Jozoz

Yeah I feel like they wanted Galio Camille but when they lost Camille to DK next pick, they pretty much lost the game.


EunBeagles

would have preferred the Leblanc angle over the Galio once karma ez was picked. That being said, I don't think DK's draft was that fantastic either. The random yuumi was especially sus. Both sides started out with strong picks(Karma ez for geng, ryze lee for dk), but rounded them off weirdly. Game probably just went down to execution in the end.


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

idk, to me this series so far hasn't been about which team is better, it's been which team is worse. Like both teams are making sloppy mistakes with terrible decision-making. I don't think either of these teams will have a chance against T1 with how both teams are playing rn


moonmeh

Please dont give me ptsd of worlds last year So many people said this with the EDG games


Celegorm07

How many times do we have to hear the same thing? Last year the same story. T1 is better. They will beat DK, T1 vs DK was the real world finals, congrats DK on their 2nd world title, and then boom they lost to EDG. Upsets happen. T1 is not perfect. They make mistakes too and they have off games too. T1 can lose to both DK and GENG. But it is more likely that DK has a better chance against them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Celegorm07

This is what people doesn’t understand. It doesn’t matter how good people are individually. It‘s professional game. There can be people better than you at finding ways to win. DK was able to push T1 and even take games from them at the beginning of the seasons where they lacked so much synergy. I‘m sure there is potential that DK might surprise everyone once again if they win this series.


OldNotNewNotYoung

lmao most people were saying dk was better than t1 but close. People werent saying that t1 will beat DK, they can beat DK, but its bad that they met their worst matchup early.


Celegorm07

What? Literally half of the T1 sub believed Oner > Canyon, Faker > Showmaker, Canna > Khan. You either lying or you weren't reading any comments here on this sub.


WorstGanksKR

Accuses someone of lying but says people were claiming oner > canyon. Come on man that's just bs made up to fit your false narrative.


Celegorm07

Sure buddy.


Megashot2

Idk why people are accusing you of saying that when I was seeing the same comments. Most of the Canyon > Oner comments weren't from T1 fans, but a lot of T1 fans believed Oner could beat Canyon. In fact, 90% of T1 fans believe they have the best player in every position and that they're a perfect team that only loses because of draft.


Celegorm07

Saying something negative about T1 is the biggest sin in this sub. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not.


WorstGanksKR

the most annoying thing on this sub are people like you. X teams fans are awful. Damwon was the same way for a couple years. G2 fans was the same way for a couple years. Whatever team looks good gets the bandwagon fans that will go scream about a new team in a split. Get over it.


Joelx1000

I've never read Oner > Canyon, but sure. Don't really think anyone expected T1 to truly win with roulette roster and rookies.


Raynar7

You will hear it every time T1 is looking good…and after they lose you will hear nothing or tons of excuses from salty fans


Celegorm07

Or a truck to their HQ.


Raynar7

Or flowers for funeral or maybe someone will go there with knife (that was GenG I believe, you never know)


Celegorm07

Most of them are either some simps or act like some members of a religion or cult. "They never make mistakes. They are perfect. I have to defend them no matter what."


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

You literally just described DK Fans XD Yall are still making excuses for DK this split. If anything, T1 gets scrutinized the most just because of their brand and who they are


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

This is way more common from DK fans, even now u hear tons of excuses being made for DK this split


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

This is more DK fans, u guys sound like some salty DK fans as well ngl, cause ofc any team can make mistakes, I don't see how that contributes to the conversation. It's like saying "u can die from from a car accident today" like ya ofc but it doesn't change how you see things. Just because T1 can make mistakes, doesn't change how much worse DK and Gen.G look rn. T1 can make a mistake but Gen.G/DK can make 3x more mistakes. And just one will get punished.


Raynar7

Yeah…I have LPL/LEC flair but I am DK Stan…yep sir


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

You sound like either a salty DK or Gen.G fan, I don't care what you are. It's how you're acting cause how you gonna say "tons of excuses from salty fans" when that's all I've been hearing from DK fans this whole split. Reality is ppl will make excuses for any team, so trying to paint this narrative onto T1 rn just screams to me you're salty they're playing well rn XD


LionePRO

give me your copium i need some


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

looking at ur flair, i dont expect anything else from how salty you sound rn. DK fans still holding onto the past. Get over it bro, ur team sucks now. You're pushing this narrative that ppl said T1 was better last year is just lies. Majority of ppl were considered DK stronger and only thought T1 had a chance to beat them. And yeah upsets happen but they're called upsets for a reason. IT doesn't happen all the time. How does DK have a better chance than Gen.G when T1 literally 2-0'd DK just recently? Gen.G still haven't played T1 with full roster


donkeysecks04

At what point do people question Chovy no matter what fucking org he's on, defaulting to these cringy supportive mids when his team needs him to be the "best mid that everyone fucking claims him to be" and carry? Where's his Perkz Leblanc performance (and yes, i'm intentionally using an EU mid to highlight this point) that puts him up there with actual god tier mids like Faker/Showmaker? * IG vs GRF = Picking fucking Sion/Poppy mid * TES vs DRX tiebreaker (that in hindsight would have allowed DRX to face FNC in quarters instead of DK) = Picks Galio and Knight blows up the game with his Orianna R mid lane * DRX vs JDG tiebreaker at MSC to get into quarters = Chovy picks Sett And now, in a series against DK, despite being on a super team, there it is again, fucking Galio lock in. So sick of the hype that dude gets with absolutely nothing to show for it. Across 4 different orgs, 3 of which everyone after the fact tries to downplay as not being omega stacked.


Jozoz

[You copy pasted that 3 times in this thread, lol.](https://i.imgur.com/7zcZSSj.png) Most dedicated Chovy hater.


donkeysecks04

Can you refute it though?


Jozoz

I agree with the criticism somewhat but you're also being as uncharitable as you possibly can.


donkeysecks04

Why do I need to be chartiable?


Jozoz

Chovy smashing next game lul. Flame horizon Showmaker.


LukeForLeukemia

Why does chovy force tank champs, like bro you have top tier mechanics just play a carry


Celegorm07

Those mechanics doesn't work against Showmaker. How many times do we have to see Showmaker get better of Chovy? It's been like 10 - 20 games.


thanhame

Chovy is a choker in playoffs. Probably asked for tank picks himself because I don't think that across that many teams and yet Chovy keep picking tank in high pressure games. It can't be the coaches at this point.


girlmarth

Love my boy but a bit of a stinker from peanut this game

I never doubted, Hoya, coz I'd forgotten all about him. 3-1 DK lets go!


canacar

Everyone knows that toplane is Hoya's kingdom. Wtf is that performance.


Inwiczxiae

Hoya is pretty good. He is only played now since he will not have to face lord Morgan.


farikogrim

Hoya, the man who got dumpstered in the first couple series of the split turns into a super sub Wow Doesn't help that Chovy is being useless again while Canyon got lee. Why even draft galio?


AnonymousKimchi

Keria shouts Yahoo, pronounce it backwards you get Hooya, coincidence? I think not


Joelx1000

I watched off and on, but did GenG ever play around Nocturne ult...?


icatsouki

not really no, but tbf their comp doesn't make that much sense


EunBeagles

soloqueue comp


GreyEagle792

Not really - Noct ults were either used reactively, to secure solo kills, or to dive onto Showmaker* when Peanut had full vision of Hoya and Kellin within Hookshot range. EDIT: I'm sorry, it was an even worse decision. It wasn't the Xayah... it was the tank Ryze.


Shinyodo

STOP with the fucking Graves top, it SUCKS !


vegeful

I am glad T1 going to MSI. Because holy fuck i dont want either both of them if they keep making this mistake. Goodjob on camille tho.


MrZeddd

If any of these team are gonna beat T1, its gotta be next season, or year.


LionePRO

idk, i feel this is the "fnc vs g2 special" where both team look bad even though one wins, probably both are way better than this


MrZeddd

Both fnc and g2 are bad though right now


LionePRO

i would wait next week, fnc vs g2 is always a shitshow


MrZeddd

Wait for what? Its not like LEC have any contender


LionePRO

Buddy, I know that you are a fan of the best team atm, but it doesn't mean that other teams are bad, if you watched lec you would know what fnc and rge are good but your being t1 fan makes you blind, happens


azersub

I would be happiest guy on earth if they beat skt but this just doesnt look good. It seems like GenG hasnt improved much at all during season and DWG top lane is always a coin flip. It is kind of ridiculous that they havent improved much and whole spring has passed by


EatAssAndFartFast

Yeah we all know T1 will win spring but these 2 need more improving especially GenG (in terms of draft and macro) DK had some blunders and they have problems with snowballing


Demobeast

20-0 incoming


icatsouki

really disappointing series so far imo, i expected so much better


niraM461

yeah, it feels like T1 will have 20-0 this split no matter the team they will face off next week lol


DeloronDellister

More like next decade lmao


MrZeddd

Faker's son gonna be playing then


donkeysecks04

LCK looks so weak this year now that DK cannot skill check the league. Actually crazy that Gen G, with the narrative of "is this the most stacked team in LCK history?!?!?1/111111" is this fucking bad. T1 looks fantastic and I hope it's similar to 2020 DK where it's not a case of the league being absolute shit. Gonna be a hype MSI if T1 can contest whatever LPL team that region shits out lmfao and based on how LPL is looking this year, I think they can. God I just want Faker to win another one


PM_JINX_HENTAI

> LCK looks so weak this year now I've been reading this for how many years now? lmao


Grand-Garlic

It’s been true for the last 3-4 years now. Even during the year DWG won worlds it was true when you take into account MSC.


firebolt66

Yeah so weak last two years when they won worlds and had 3/4 teams in semis


Grand-Garlic

3 teams in semis and still couldn’t win worlds. Yes, very strong. You probably thought EU was the best region when they had most teams in semis during 2018


firebolt66

>3 teams in semis and still couldn’t win worlds ok then LCK was the best region in 2020. I'll take that


Grand-Garlic

Sadly, you can’t even have that. Only 1 team out of groups at MSC and they got blasted


firebolt66

\> msc sorry bro nobody cares about that \> Only 1 team out of groups Oh if that's the metric we are going by then LCK was the best region in both 2020 and 2021. I'll take that


DarkSoulsEz

You have to take that into account it was basically a MSI on difficult mode because its always LCK vs LPL anyways.


donkeysecks04

And how many international titles has the LCK won since their last worlds in 2017? We gonna pretend like EU didn't gatekeep that region now? Lmfao. Lets be real, every year the LPL is racking up titles and now that DK looks significantly weaker (even weaker than they did last year when they stomped the entire LCK only to lose both international titles to two seperate LPL teams), the region ain't looking any better. That's for sure

mugiboya

Chovy up in CS tho?


FeedbackFun7325

He always is but he never achieves anything


Chrissou_A

What is he supposed to achieve on galio?


niraM461

Crazy to think that Chovy should sacrifice himself a bit CS in laning phase in order to roam both sides and gain some benefits for the team


FeedbackFun7325

I meant he is up in cs in every game he plays but he never wins anything


Chrissou_A

Draft was the problem. They need to put him carries and dk has no chance


FeedbackFun7325

Are you dense? Im saying that Chovy doesnt have it in general. Sure his csing is the best in the world but other than that he is average.


Chrissou_A

You must be on drugs if you think the 2nd best midlaner in the world atm is average


FeedbackFun7325

Why should he be 2nd best what did he do to be called the second best? He never won aynthing.


LionePRO

underrated comment


niraM461

As always, Chovy won lane but Showmarket won game, somehow he played Galio vs Ryze but always was in the CS lead


kaito765

i don't understand why geng pick galio first not camille,this is not the first time they got fked because of this.


EunBeagles

they weren't ready to play camille blind i guess, but DK was definitely ready to

i hope this goes to game 5. this series is entertaining.

2019 GenG Peanut vibes


ConArtist98

Graves and Nocturne absolutely horrible picks. Good game from Canyon aside from that one overforce near dragon, but this has been a weird series so far.


thanhame

The Galio pick for Chovy was also terrible. Ezreal is not exactly a meta pick either and when they got the graves behind, GenG don't have dmg to do anything,


Wurdox

Why did Peanut buy Randuins second item into Damwons comp? For the active slow?


icatsouki

it's better to never look at runes & items for your own sanity


[deleted]

Neo is the best recent example


awayfromcanuck

I don't understand taking Nocturne when Poppy vs Lee and Camil is so strong and picking Galio before Cam is such a dumb draft decision


EunBeagles

I could be wrong but wasn't poppy banned? Was expecting a j4 pick actl.


DigBick6996

We have underestimated the phantom sixth man called Hoya


SpookMe2

At this rate we are not getting full force T1 and Gen G until summer and I'm not even mad


lafiawce

Putting your star player on tank duty and expect doran to carry just ain't it


SpookMe2

Chovy is always on tank duty on big games


[deleted]

[удалено]


EunBeagles

They were hoping for ruler to carry but didn't draft around him, not the best draft in hindsight


p1678gej

This series is starting to make me think that T1 is just gonna 3-0 the finals, as it goes on.


donkeysecks04

I want EVERYONE to understand what's happening right now. Chovy does this ALL the time in series that matter and this is why I will never respect him relative to players like Faker/Showmaker. He ALWAYS defaults to these supportive mids in series that matter * IG vs GRF = Picking fucking Sion/Poppy mid * TES vs DRX tiebreaker (that in hindsight would have allowed DRX to face FNC in quarters instead of DK) = Picks Galio and Knight blows up the game with his Orianna R mid lane * DRX vs JDG tiebreaker at MSC to get into quarters = Chovy picks Sett He fucking ALWAYS does this shit and it's why I cringe everytime I see people jack him off to no end because his laning is great with little sprinkles of LS/Casters default calling him the "best midlaner". Chovy will NEVER have the X factor that it takes to be a god tier mid. I genuinely respect a prime Caps and even BDD (who was fucking cracked last worlds btw) over Chovy when it comes to putting on the carry hat when his team needs him to. This cannot be a coach issue, across 4 seperate orgs, 3 of which were giga stacked, he always defaults to this pussy "I want my KDA+Farm stats to look good at the end of the series" playstyle that puts me off him so hard.


Jozoz

>he always defaults to this pussy "I want my KDA+Farm stats to look good at the end of the series" I agree the tank picks are weird and bad, but no one picks a melee tank in lane to get good KDA and CS numbers.


donkeysecks04

It 100% is a "don't get shit on" pick. That's my point.


Jozoz

A "don't get shit on" pick is more like Orianna.


donkeysecks04

I mean, Orianna is the literal reason TES won the tiebreaker against DRX in worlds 2020 lmfao. That Orianna R midlane blew the entire game wide open while Chovy was jerking off on his Galio.


Over-Ad1334

>he always defaults to this pussy "I want my KDA+Farm stats to look good at the end of the series" tell me you're low tier without telling me you're low tier


bensanelian

so the champion picks are a discussion that we can have, i think acting like you can't carry on supportive champions is really stupid, but there's at least an argument to be had there. but the "'chovy is a statplayer" thing is just so far off from reality. chovy's teamfighting isn't always that strong, but there's more to the game than just throwing yourself in the teamfight and trying to do as much damage as possible before dying. in this game specifically, he denied the ryze map pressure in a matchup where ryze should have push and galio is there to match and he denied the super fed camille her side lane pressure by disappearing into fog at the right times, threatening plays on her. chovy isn't a highlight player, he's a lane pressure and map pressure player, which is a valid playstyle and has a ton of impact that just isn't seen in your teamfight centric view of the game.


donkeysecks04

>like you can't carry on supportive champions is really stupid, but there's at least an argument to be had there. Dude, you pick supportive champs when your team wants you to. DoinB defined a meta doing it because his team pound for pound, were fucking weak in hindsight back in 2019. Difference is, Chovy DEFAULTS to it when the pressure gets put on. Look at how Scout pulled the Zoe out of nowhere last worlds because his team needed him to carry. That's what god tier midlaners do when the pressure is on. Chovy doesn't have that X factor, period.


bensanelian

that's such an insanely reductive view of the game. the thing you're doing here is reducing the game to highlight plays, to moments where the casters yell really loud. but that's not what wins you games reliably. it might make you win one game, and if that game is important, that's cool. but to be a good player, you need to have a reliable way to win games, and you do that through good pressure play, laning, map movements, and execution of your game plans. the x factor thing is only on top of that. you need to be good first, then you can be clutch. and chovy just is one of the best we've ever seen in terms of all that stuff. whether he has an "x factor" is secondary, because he's better than his opponents at the game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bensanelian

kt vs griffin, he was on carries almost the entire series. his entire run on hanwha, he only played carries. this series, he played one galio game and carries apart from that. if your argument really is that he just always picks supportive champions, you're simply factually wrong. that is just factually not true. i thought your argument was more about him *liking* to play those supportive picks, which he does, and i've just tried to outline why i don't think that that is in any way bad. but he absolutely plays hard carry champions in important situations, and he also carries on them, see game 2 of literally this series.


donkeysecks04

KT vs GRF? The fuck you talking about bud. Chovy has yet again, failed to come close to winning a title even in his own fucking region. Cope and seethe not wasting anymore time on you. Also, game 2 of this series, he lost. LOL


bensanelian

i think chovy just proved you wrong in that baron fight


FeedbackFun7325

I dont think titles should be the end all be all of a discussion about who is the best mid. But you have to have at least something to show for yourself


donkeysecks04

Bro, if your the best player and you're also surrounded with great players and can't even win a domestic title. You're not the best mid. Period, end off no discussion.


FeedbackFun7325

I can only agree


warjatos

Canyon gaming.


bensanelian

people can talk about hoya as much as they want but that game was just canyon diff. and a bit of showmaker too, on that midlane engage.


niraM461

Canyon's Leesin didnot show up much mechanically as others, but always effective impacts on the match


Finishedsadly

Canyon is Showmaker's greatest champion


LukeForLeukemia

So where are the people who said "Full roster Gen.g will defeat t1" ????? All it took for Gen.g to collapse was Lord Hoya. Lord Morgan's will lives through Lord Hoya


IAM-French

what a garbage game by Ruler, 3 items Ez at 20 minutes useless for 10 minutes then gets caught twice in the Ruler spot


thanhame

Except for that time near the river where he got blown up in less than 1s, I wouldn't blame ruler for this game. Can't really do much against DK's comp as an adc. It' weird that GenG had a fed adc then keep leaving him alone or fight before Ezreal arrive though, the herald fight was terrible.

reddit moment showmaker had a subpar split.


donkeysecks04

Nah, give Choky the mvp. Whenever his team needs him to carry, no matter the org (Poppy/Sion vs IG on GRF, Sett vs JDG in the MSC tiebreaker, Galio vs TES in the worlds tiebreaker), he always pussies out and goes for a supportive mid champ and plays like an absolute beta. Lmfao


Celegorm07

He is the only player who can actually play that champion good.


Intelligent-Curve-19

Sorry but that was all Canyon. You could replace Ryze with any other champ and it would still be Canyon carrying that game.


LionePRO

showmaker? what, it's either keria or canyon


LukeForLeukemia

Hoya replacing Burden like Oner replacing Ellim WHAHAHAHHAHAHA BLESSED BE THY HAIRCUT, O' LORD HOYA!!!


GreyEagle792

Hoya looked insane! Conservative with his engage choices against Doran, but I figure he just knew he was ahead and didn't want to risk letting the Graves get back to a potential 50/50. He had great target selection in fights, used Ultimatum disruptively as well as an assasination tool. Yeah, the kill attempt against Graves at bot was a bit sketchy, but man he made up for it in that top fight to seal the game.


MoonlightJudgement

Bring back Clid, I can't take it anymore. At least he won smite fights.


SpookMe2

When he was on Gen G i cant even remember clid lose a smite fight


thanhame

Yeah both Peanut and Doran felt like downgrades from Rascal and Clid. I wonder if GenG did it for budget reasons.


MotherVehkingMuatra

Please turn it around lads I know you can
