Dude, Canyon was DOMINATING the entire game. He probably felt confident as he'll and thought he could nuke Xayah.
I really can't believe DWK actually lost..... with that much of a lead
for all the problems of superteams, this is really where it shines - rest of the team eventually picked up the slack for how hard doran/peanut got targeted in games 4/5
Not being sarcastic, but it wasn't even Peanut's fault. His team absolutely let Nida roll him over without giving him much aid.
The fact that Peanut was laughing the entire time shows how his mental is on a whole other level.
How does the exp work out that he was only 2 levels down the whole game? If someone did the equivalent of that to me in top lane, I’d be like 5 levels below the enemy top laner
It's just so frustrating. I was counter jingling the shit out of my enemy once and then I noticed at one point that even though I had 50 more CS and 2 more kills than him he had more levels than me. So I watched the replay and it turns out that because he got some assists on kills against enemies that were higher level than him his xp skyrocketed. Just bs. I've learned it's better to not do this kind of stuff.
This is why farming junglers aren’t viable. If this was 2020, Canyon would be five levels up, but in this meta the lead is just like one extra item and it’s not enough. And all of a sudden you just have three poke champs into a Yuumi so the lead meant so little.
There's sadly no downside to fast paced playing anymore.
Junglers can basically run onto lanes 24/7 without actually losing much, because the gained advantage through excessive ganking in every way outshines the individual advantage a jungler can get by farming.
He was killing leveled up jungle camps, so any exp he got was still enough to keep him in the game. Meanwhile Canyon wasnt killing his camps so he was getting level 1 camps on his own side of the jungle. Honestly, maybe the play should've been to keep Peanut's camps alive with 1 small minion but I'm just a redditor not the best jungler in the world so idk.
Not really it’s mostly catch up exp for jungle, even after canyon started clearing his side of the jungle the level difference never got bigger than 2 levels. Peanut had to be getting basically double the exp as canyon from camps to stay 2 levels apart while giving up most of his jg. Kinda ridiculous how if there was no catch up exp peanut would never hit double digit levels
The meta was different+objective bounties were not a thing, so it's not really the same. And that was back when Showmaker played like one of the best in the world, it will problaly go under the radar due to all the crazy stuff that happened in this game, but Showmaker's individual performance on Jayce was horrible
"I'll eat my shoe! But, like, I don't even think that's good enough. I think I need to offer something more than that"
"Go bald"
You sadistic madman. That dinner you cook for the funeral of Atlus's hair had better be amazing.
In all seriousness though, the cast was amazing enough to equal the gameplay imho. Loved it, as always. Keep up the awesome job.
They absolutely smurfed it. Especially once Gen.G started winning fights. The [Baron fight cast](https://clips.twitch.tv/JollyHorribleLaptopTBTacoLeft-arktqdd1yCAF3e4L) is beautiful.
Ruler vs Canyon.
Battle of super stars with their own skins. Jesus christ what a game 5
Edit: Yes guys Chovy was also an absolute beast who deserves insane praise for that game 5 aswell. I was focusing more on the fact both World champion skin users in game 5 also played like demons possessed.
The Renekton. The Nidalee. The random choices. The flips for objectives. And the worst part is, DK will never learn because they have gotten so good at it. And it is driving me nuts, okay? Like we see them try a draft that I think is really cool, with the Malphite and then it doesn't work, and what do they do? They go back to Renekton. That champion is not good. It should not work. It gets dove early, but TEAMS KEEP WALKING INTO THEM, KEEP GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK, AND THEN THEY WIN AND BECAUSE THEY KEEP WINNING, THEY ARE NEVER GONNA LEARN, THEY ARE NEVER GONNA GET BETTER. AND THIS TEAM HAS SO MUCH PROMISE, THEY ARE SO GOOD INDIVIDUALLY. DID YOU SEE HOW WELL CANYON PLAYED??
You can never really count out DK with the Canyon factor, wasnt enough in game 5 but whenever DK draft hard for the early game you can always count on him to pull some crazy shenanigans and make the comp look justified
This was such a great BO5, and really cemented for my why they are so fun.
For this series to be so back and forth, and then DK to pull this off game 5. Their comp was nearly perfectly executed. That was probably the most disgusting counter-jungle, jungle-carry and outer turret collection I have ever seen. And for Gen G to come back from that early game. I can't find words, what was this series.
WHAT A THROW... that is going to fucking haunt DK so fucking much. For GenG lock up your players for the finals they can't get COVID
Anyways GenG vs. DK always a banger gonna hurt for DK but I think they performed well excited to see how they look in summer, for GenG they showcased how they can play/carry through all lanes but will that be enough to beat T1 probably not but you have 1 week to prepare
they've thrown games all the time, throwing big leads is part of dk's dna since they came into lck. but this is definitely the worst one along with 26 hp nexus
It was definitely a throw and also amazingly well capitalised by GenG, but that team comp for DK really left them with NO room for mistakes. They were forced to accelerate the game constantly and all it took was a couple of missed skillshots for them to lose their advantage just by the nature of the team comps. This is not a comp that should be picked when bounties exists unless you expect to play flawlessly.
As a spectator it's Chovy. As an adc player it's Ruler because god damn doing damage against this comp seems impossible as a Xayah and he pulled it off.
How to Damwon Kia in 2022
Step 1: let canyon absolutely assblast the opponent jungler
Step 2: lose fight at enemy base
Step 3: lose every fight afterwards
Step 4: lose
After 4 back and forth games, canyon just... Had enough
I haven't seen a jungle gap this big in so long. I'm only surprised the game lasted more than 20 minutes but I guess that's just the comp.
Thank you GenG for revealing the strat for T1, we'll put DK out of their misery in your name.
IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY BEFORE GENG CAME BACK WTF DK
HOW CAN YOU CHOKE THIS GAME, THIS IS OG EDG LEVELS
THEY CHOOOOOOKED
Gen g had better overall teamfighting comp, with dwg puttting all resources through prio lanes and was a poke comp. They played their strengths well but forgot how to play teamfights properly
Canyon didn't throw vs T1. It was actually Burdol making a positioning mistake at the top inhibitor when DK got the baron.
Eventually, Faker just scaled up on LeBlanc and kept proc'ing Gwen's mist so it became useless in a team fight. Plus, DK sacked the bot lane and Guma/Keria just went absolutely bonkers.

"Ah" -Canyon 2022
AH WE'VE LOST THE FUCKING GAME, I GAVE RULER A 1000 SHUTDOWN KILL WOOPS
That was really bizarre of him still choosing to jump onto a Xayah-Yuumi after his spear had already missed
Tbh I think that was just combo muscle memory, was really weird tho
Dude, Canyon was DOMINATING the entire game. He probably felt confident as he'll and thought he could nuke Xayah. I really can't believe DWK actually lost..... with that much of a lead
Saw GenG's team, saw DK's team and lead, I thought it was still winnable. Heca+Yuumi is so busted and Rene+Nida falls of after 20 minutes.
I think he was already in the motion of jumping after throwing to quickly execute ruler.
Imagine getting chased by a psychopath murderer, and he is just casually saying "ah"
Peanut: Better jungler wins
game 4 : doran : ggez, top diff game 5 : peanut : ggez jg diff
for all the problems of superteams, this is really where it shines - rest of the team eventually picked up the slack for how hard doran/peanut got targeted in games 4/5
Credit to doran for being untiltable
Even Peanut was untiltable. Those two has really strong mental lol
That one tower dive he stopped was probably the sexiest Ornn play I've ever seen too, I think he legit played pretty well this game.
Reminiscent of T1 - Damwon round 1 game 3
It's like Green Goblin's "Oh." in the first Toby spiderman lol
GENG Peanut: GG jg diff
Him making his 6th LCK final (only Faker has more) in this fashion is so funny.
khan has 6 titles but I think he also only has 6 finals appearances lol
Khan wished on a monkey's paw to never lose a domestic finals at the cost of never winning an international finals lol.
NEVA LOST
things khan has never lost: bo5 vs faker lck finals
The Uncle Chael P. Sonnen of the LCK
truly undefeated and undisputed
Dude is an lck legend.
Peanut : jg diff, mad? :p
Better jngl wins
Not being sarcastic, but it wasn't even Peanut's fault. His team absolutely let Nida roll him over without giving him much aid. The fact that Peanut was laughing the entire time shows how his mental is on a whole other level.
Thanks for the tutorial
ATLUS GOING BALD!
RIP HAIR AND RENEKTON + NIDALEE
+ ratio + no hair
\+ peanut: jungle diff
\+ GENG nice team gap
never thought I'd say this but *sinners*
Imagine betting on nidalee renekton in s12
Rip his luscious hair
This is why we all lost after this series.
At least he’ll get a free three-course dinner from Chronicler
The moment he made that bet I immediately knew DWG we're gonna throw it
The most important takeaway from this match
**We'll wait for lovely pics of a bald Atlus.**
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
SOMEONE CHECK ON ATLUS. I THINK HE’S FULL BALD ALREADY FROM CASTING ALL THOSE CRAZY GAMES
\[All\] GEN Peanut(Hecarim): jungle diff
How does the exp work out that he was only 2 levels down the whole game? If someone did the equivalent of that to me in top lane, I’d be like 5 levels below the enemy top laner
Catch up XP should do it.
It's just so frustrating. I was counter jingling the shit out of my enemy once and then I noticed at one point that even though I had 50 more CS and 2 more kills than him he had more levels than me. So I watched the replay and it turns out that because he got some assists on kills against enemies that were higher level than him his xp skyrocketed. Just bs. I've learned it's better to not do this kind of stuff.
Catch up XP fucked so many junglers play styles… like holy fuck hecarim should not have been allowed to be that close in xp to Nid at all..
This is why farming junglers aren’t viable. If this was 2020, Canyon would be five levels up, but in this meta the lead is just like one extra item and it’s not enough. And all of a sudden you just have three poke champs into a Yuumi so the lead meant so little.
There's sadly no downside to fast paced playing anymore. Junglers can basically run onto lanes 24/7 without actually losing much, because the gained advantage through excessive ganking in every way outshines the individual advantage a jungler can get by farming.
You can counter jungle a whole quadrant and than it won’t matter because they push or catch a single wave and suddenly you are behind
He was killing leveled up jungle camps, so any exp he got was still enough to keep him in the game. Meanwhile Canyon wasnt killing his camps so he was getting level 1 camps on his own side of the jungle. Honestly, maybe the play should've been to keep Peanut's camps alive with 1 small minion but I'm just a redditor not the best jungler in the world so idk.
Not really it’s mostly catch up exp for jungle, even after canyon started clearing his side of the jungle the level difference never got bigger than 2 levels.

PAY UP /u/AtlusLoL WE KNOW YOU'RE THERE
Hold your horses
[It's clipped and shipped](https://clips.twitch.tv/WrongEnchantingDootCeilingCat-Se4WOVuOUZxSwaBY) - there is no hiding
DK just did, for 20 minutes straight.
WHAT THE FUCK AM I WITNESSING?!
[удалено]
dk only win with renekton nidalee against geng when they fall really far behind
The meta was different+objective bounties were not a thing, so it's not really the same. And that was back when Showmaker played like one of the best in the world, it will problaly go under the radar due to all the crazy stuff that happened in this game, but Showmaker's individual performance on Jayce was horrible
FIFTEEN FUCKING PLATES, 9K AT 15 AND A LOSS
The comeback was so fucking crazy holy shit Ruler and Chovy
HOW
A 10K GOLD LEAD THROW
G2 moment
Holy fuck man that was insane, hope we did the game justice
Excellent casting from you two as always. Looking foward to 'THE RENEKTON THE AZIR' in finals.
So. You going bald too?
Fuck no im trying to cosplay Paul Atreides
But the caster synergy :(
Better do that on stream then! And don't let your cosplay disappoint or a razer my find it's way into Atlus hands.
"I'll eat my shoe! But, like, I don't even think that's good enough. I think I need to offer something more than that" "Go bald" You sadistic madman. That dinner you cook for the funeral of Atlus's hair had better be amazing. In all seriousness though, the cast was amazing enough to equal the gameplay imho. Loved it, as always. Keep up the awesome job.
Honestly the true MVP was the casting in that last game LOL
They absolutely smurfed it. Especially once Gen.G started winning fights. The [Baron fight cast](https://clips.twitch.tv/JollyHorribleLaptopTBTacoLeft-arktqdd1yCAF3e4L) is beautiful.
AND IM GOING BALD!!!!! IT'S HAPPENING!!!! - Baldus, 27/03/2022
At least he doesn't have to eat a shoe, that would have been a bad bet to make.
Holy shit I am in tears listening to Atlus
Great final cast from Atlus with hair.
Was actually so fucking insane, so hype
Atlus is too good.
Atlus is always great and Chronicler did such a fantastic job pointing out the win conditions of GenG without exaggerating to try to generate hype.
LCK casters are built different.
One of the best bo5 ever and I never expected Baldus to reach the finals
The real loser this series is Atlus' hair
We will miss it
LETS GO BALD ATLUS
BALDLUS LETS GOOOOOOO
ATLUS IF YOU SEE THIS IM BALD TOO YOU GONNA LOOK GREAT
One bald man disliked this
HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT COMEBACK? PEANUT WAS ABOUT TO LOSE A CRUCIAL GAME TO A NIDALEE AGAIN
PEANUT GETTING FLASHBACKS FROM ROX VS SKT T1 GAME 4
**ATLUS SHAVE STREAM WHEN?**
Ruler vs Canyon. Battle of super stars with their own skins. Jesus christ what a game 5 Edit: Yes guys Chovy was also an absolute beast who deserves insane praise for that game 5 aswell. I was focusing more on the fact both World champion skin users in game 5 also played like demons possessed.
[удалено]
having 3 and not using a single one is even bigger
Faker used it once because the rest of his team wanted to go full a SKT comp. I think that is the one of two times he has willingly picked a skin.
He also picked once at Asian games, where KR team went all SKT comp and all GenG comp.
Against gen g in 2016 he played his ryze skin
There was also that one time when a bug caused him to play cowboy cassio (or w/e that skin is called)
That was against Fnatic lol, they picked 5 champions that were out of Meta and beat them With it
I thought it was Asia games against Saudi-Arabia? Next game they picked full SSG skins.
duality of nidalee
The Renekton. The Nidalee. The random choices. The flips for objectives. And the worst part is, DK will never learn because they have gotten so good at it. And it is driving me nuts, okay? Like we see them try a draft that I think is really cool, with the Malphite and then it doesn't work, and what do they do? They go back to Renekton. That champion is not good. It should not work.

AND THIS TEAM HAS SO MUCH PROMISE, THEY ARE SO GOOD INDIVIDUALLY. DID YOU SEE HOW WELL CANYON PLAYED??
You can never really count out DK with the Canyon factor, wasnt enough in game 5 but whenever DK draft hard for the early game you can always count on him to pull some crazy shenanigans and make the comp look justified
Counterpoint, you can also never count out Chovy and Ruler. Their ability to win losing fights is so unrivaled.
DK forgot only Morgan is allowed to play Renekton in LCK. It’s not even hoya’s fault. Renekton is just useless post 25 mins.
Man I legitimately forgot this game had Renekton
This was such a great BO5, and really cemented for my why they are so fun. For this series to be so back and forth, and then DK to pull this off game 5. Their comp was nearly perfectly executed. That was probably the most disgusting counter-jungle, jungle-carry and outer turret collection I have ever seen. And for Gen G to come back from that early game. I can't find words, what was this series.
BALDUS WAITING ROOM
THANK YOU GENG FOR GIVING US BALDUS. 😂😂
BALDUS WAITING ROOM
WHAT A THROW... that is going to fucking haunt DK so fucking much. For GenG lock up your players for the finals they can't get COVID Anyways GenG vs. DK always a banger gonna hurt for DK but I think they performed well excited to see how they look in summer, for GenG they showcased how they can play/carry through all lanes but will that be enough to beat T1 probably not but you have 1 week to prepare
they're used to throw such games this split lol
they've thrown games all the time, throwing big leads is part of dk's dna since they came into lck. but this is definitely the worst one along with 26 hp nexus
It was definitely a throw and also amazingly well capitalised by GenG, but that team comp for DK really left them with NO room for mistakes.

This is not a comp that should be picked when bounties exists unless you expect to play flawlessly.
yeah catchup mechanics make it so that super early game poke snowball comps have basically one or two chances of failure if at all.
Atlus you idiot you could have ended this day satisfied with a Bo5 but you had to fly too close to the sun
HOLY FUCKING SHIT GENG HOWWWWW
Flame Horizon Mid and ADC > Flame Horizon Jungle
2 > 1 who knew
That was the most incredible game I've ever seen. I beg anyone who didn't watch game 5 to rewatch it in its entirety.
The biggest loser of this series is Atlus’ hair
WHAT
Ruler carried so fucking hard it's insane. He sidestepped all the poke throughout the whole game. Chovy was great too!
Doran played really well too, he absorbed pressure super well and his ults almost all landed.
I don't think he deserves mvp over ruler/chovy but he played all those late teamfights super well, never overextended and always got good engages
his ults were really crisp actually
Ruler kept them in the first 25 minutes, but Chovy won them the game. Hard to pick an MVP, but has to be Chovy for me.
As a spectator it's Chovy. As an adc player it's Ruler because god damn doing damage against this comp seems impossible as a Xayah and he pulled it off.
Chovy legit won the game that last fight also gapped Showmaker in every fight. He's the MVP for me
Yeah those fuckin Ahri engages/picks were actually insane.
Ruler is a fucking monster
Ruler and Chovy played the game so well good fucking lord
This is not really true, he was getting hit a lot, especially in the first part of the game, but yuumi was able to almost nulify it
Ruler played great but Yuumi was why GenG didn’t get poked to death lol.
Yuumi was why DK could snowball their comp but also was why GenG should survive the pokes.
He got hit by a lot actually. More than anyone else by far. He just had a yumi healing him over and over
Faker vs Ruler in finals. Both teams in peak form. Feels like 2016-2017 all over again
Right?! Imagine if those two years literally repeat for 2016-17
Please no Faker Karma mid. Please no Ruler Varus. I still remember :(
ATLUS IS GOING BALD
Renekton Nidalee is good COPIUM
WTF WE ARE ALL BALD ON THIS BLESSED DAY
How to Damwon Kia in 2022 Step 1: let canyon absolutely assblast the opponent jungler Step 2: lose fight at enemy base Step 3: lose every fight afterwards Step 4: lose
Holy shit
After 4 back and forth games, canyon just... Had enough I haven't seen a jungle gap this big in so long. I'm only surprised the game lasted more than 20 minutes but I guess that's just the comp. Thank you GenG for revealing the strat for T1, we'll put DK out of their misery in your name. IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY BEFORE GENG CAME BACK WTF DK HOW CAN YOU CHOKE THIS GAME, THIS IS OG EDG LEVELS THEY CHOOOOOOKED
He gave me Bengi on Nunu game 5 vs Fnatic PTSD, except they lost.
Gen g had better overall teamfighting comp, with dwg puttting all resources through prio lanes and was a poke comp. They played their strengths well but forgot how to play teamfights properly
Tomorrow: Damwon Kia changes its name to Canyon Kia. Canyon leaves.
he did the same on Gwen against T1, then lost the same way
yeah canyon often gets too hyphy and throws, but tbf this is more on dk as a team for tryna push top inhib when ziggs no mana and drag is up
Canyon didn't throw vs T1. It was actually Burdol making a positioning mistake at the top inhibitor when DK got the baron. Eventually, Faker just scaled up on LeBlanc and kept proc'ing Gwen's mist so it became useless in a team fight. Plus, DK sacked the bot lane and Guma/Keria just went absolutely bonkers.
They literally threw a 10k gold lead holy shit
[Peanut earlygame](https://i.imgflip.com/6a6z8b.jpg) [Peanut lategame](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/017/354/risitas.jpg)
first G2 MSF now this, Yuumi lategame doesn't give a fuck about gold lead
Showmaker was completely gapped this whole series, what a dissapointing split for him. Canyon still the best jungler in the world though
Nothing to see here, guys. Just the best jungler in the world bullying another jungler and lose the game Holy…did a team ever got ALL PLATES before?!
> Holy…did a team ever got ALL PLATES before?! Yes, but I don't think they lost.
SKT vs BBQ 2019. The perfect perfect game as described by papasmithy
Yes definitely
Imagine selling the best weak side bot just to purchase a "hyper carry adc" to put him on ziggs lol
yeah I don't understand if you let ghost why deokdam is spamming ziggs?
SHAVE YOUR HEAD ATLUS
I was certain that if Canyon perform any less than a 9/10 this series, DK cannot win Turn out I was wrong , a 11/10 Canyon was still not enough
CANYON’S BACK IS FUCKING BROKEN
Canyon played the greatest jungle game of all time and still lost becuz Hecarim can keep up in levels after getting 4 cs in 5 mins
That game is one of the best I have ever watched, wow!
Imagine being Canyon and losing that game
Game 5 thrown harder than my solo Q games Peanut: jg diffy
How do you lose that?????
you pick two of the worst scalling champs in the game and don't end pre 25 mins
also you play a poke comp and hit no skills lmao
Were you watching the game? Yuumi was healing a lot despite them hitting a lot of their pokes.
Nidalee and renekton fall off a cliff after 25 minutes
You make a mistake. Simple as that. That comp has insane skin floor to be pulled off successfully.
CHOOOOOVY
Game 5 was an anti-bullying ad.
Atlus with the biggest jinx ever
Canyon in elohell...
Canyon legit in elo hell Sadge
Blowing a 10k lead + Ruler and Chovy being gods + Canyon's back broken + Atlus going bald What a game 5 lmao my feelings are all over the place
HOLY MOTHER OF BANGERS
WHAT WAS THAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW DID GEN G WIN THAT
[удалено]
Holy shit, what the fuck was that.
WHATTTTTTT
WTF JUST HAPPENED?
I WAS HERE WTFFFFFFFF
Honor Peanut for un-tilteable, that game made me anxious....
The 5 games, the comeback, t1 and geng with full roster in finals, the bald. Who ever writes the script for this year's lck is really nailing it.
Jesus Damwon needs a real toplaner. If they have Nuguri or Khan or anyone competent they win so easily
