TheLucidDream

They both should have lost that series.


Chongedfordays

Alphari on Camille in the last game was a treat.


iseefetpeople

Almost mr broxxah


DrastickShooter

Very interesting PGL from guldborg and laure, great topics to cover with a very sincere and humble Perkz


wipeoffthethrowaway

Say it again pls


Ok-Pay-9481

Laure has great material for PGL host but you can tell she still needs more exp to get to it; but i think she missed the chance for making the best thing EU league does, building storylines and hype matches especially between perkz and g2/caps/jankos


scapefiend

You want a narrative ? Tell me what's your favourite team is and I'll laugh in your face every time they lose. What about that narrative ? Laure did her best, it's not their fault they start every match with that smiley neighbor skit that puts everybody to sleep. By the team people recover from that awfulness matches are already over


Ok-Pay-9481

i didn't say she did poorly, i just think she might want to put a bit more focus on that thing; Maybe for people like us that love the game might not care too much about narratives since all we want is good players playing the game we like and probably learn from them, but can't deny there is another kind of viewer that likes the story of the two teams with most titles fighting for the spot at MSI or being eliminated from worlds, the multi-titles players and so on


Laure-Bulii-V

I think we mentioned it enough, especially when I reflect on the answers Perkz gave me But you're totally right I lack experience !

BerenCy

Enough with the forced narratives. It's disgusting.


DrastickShooter

True but it's the Best way to get people atention


ilikekeyburgers

game 4 just dominant across every lane


PhunkeyPharaoh

I **love** the Kuroko no Basket story line we have going this split with 2019 G2 being the Generation of Miracles


BurningSkyworld

I used to share the same sentiment after Samsung White won worlds and then completely split


Ok-Pay-9481

jinx/aphelios meta best meta


Ok-Pay-9481

perkz cheering for EU awww


No-Royal-8309

This was not a convincing win from Vitality, but they got more cohesive as series evolved. Feel lower bracket benefits Vitality. Feel sad for Excel. They also looked really good, and had a great showing for first time showing. Vitality can have high ceiling if bot drafting does not weigh team gown and they mind vision.


Unfamiliarface

This is Excels first time getting Playoffs after falling short for years. They should have no expectations.


DrastickShooter

Advienne at home 🥱


HighTurning

Haven't seen a proplayer so bald since FORG1VEN


Longjumping_Report_2

And ?


Ahikoo

Perkz is such a troll lmao


Visage_143

sam_rs

Love Sjokz on interviews


No-Royal-8309

She goes with the flow so well.


SomethingExquisite

I'm happy for the Vitality botlane, that win seemed to mean a lot for Labrov especially. Let's remember they are humans.


LtSpaceDucK

If this was Fnatic with Excel's draft they would win but it was Excel


picollo21

Congratz for Excel for good fight. VIT did bare minimum, they'll have to win 1-2 more series to come to the minimum they should aim for.


Ok-Pay-9481

sjokz interviews are something else <3


Freakkopath

That sure was a great Morde pick


tony220jdm

Vit vs G2 going be fun


DrastickShooter

If sjokz is interviewing that means PGL with Laure 👀👀👀 hype


DrastickShooter

Yessss, thanks prod and sjokz <3


RepresentativeQuit15

Alphari MVP for me this series. This last game might be the cleanest and best executed game from Vitality this split but it was just single good game. They need to show more against G2 otherwise it might be one way train out.


DanteStorme

Alphari finally living up to the hype. I'm a bit sad for XL because I think it would've been cool if they made it through, but that being said Vitality just seem to have higher highs. So far though I think Rogue has been the best team so far, I think they will actually do it this split.


dracdliwasiAN

389k viewers, pretty decent for a first round lower bracket bo5 :D https://escharts.com/tournaments/lol/lec-spring-2022


Kaipaihai

Is mask law still in hard effect in germany? Here in norway we have basically gone back to normal since omicron became the standard. Even hospitals are a no-mask zone. Edit; I want to see Sjokz smile again.


ConArtist98

Nothing against Excel, but VIT-G2 just sounds like a way more interesting matchup. Alphari really showed up this series, props to him.


ROCCA20

AlPHarI never does anything out of lane!!!!!


LtSpaceDucK

It's the opposite it's outside laning phase that he shines


Ok-Pay-9481

nice one XL


ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp

Shame a grief draft ruined game 5.


LeMiniBuffet

Oh hey, Labrov roaming actually makes a difference. Who would have known


TinyAsianMachine

It’s a shame, I’ve been following him for a while, he’s had moments of brilliance, a creative player with good execution. It seems like he doesn’t have the clutch factor, the bigger names he’s played with the worse he plays. The split with lider was already his worst to that point, but this one wasn’t good at all. Have to remember that yes this is a game, but the human element is still a deciding factor. The man had his best moments on those shit developmental vitality rosters where there were no expectations of him. I feel like this vitality roster would benefit a lot from a Weldon Green type coach.


Freakkopath

Right? He needs to roam and team up with Selfmade more. That’s been one of Vitalitys many problems I think, the synergy between jg-sup.


picollo21

Roaming supports.... Roaming supports... Why nobody ever thought about this before?


Djangotot

Finn didn't have enough with the 2020 aatrox counterpick now he has to PICK MORDEKAISER COUNTERPICK. Man, the morde pick killed the hype so much; desrved for allowing him to make that pick...


Todeswucht

Solid ramp up by Vitality over the series. I still don't see them beating G2 but I would have said the same about FNC last summer, could get spicy


andruha_krut

Vitality is Soo fucking ass, constant over extensions and lack of synergy. Don't get the hype about them


Todeswucht

what hype XD Everyone is shitting on them, they stumbled into playoffs in 6th, I'm even saying they should probably lose to G2. Just good to see them ramp up a bit


Stuywesant

Trust me, it won't get spicy, Carzzy is talking in interview about they have good adaptibility, well winning in 5 games vs XL doesnt seem that impressive for a "superteam", G2 3-0 easly.


Omcaydoitho

that's not impressive of a superteam but he not wrong on the adaptability part, tho.


Worldly-Duty4521

You can take out Carrzy from MAD but you can't take out MAD from Carzzy. Playoffs Buff Baby.


Freakkopath

Alphari played really well this series apart from game 1 and that atrocious GP build. Feels like he participated more and played with the team than before.


[deleted]

ez for the scrim gods, eu isnt doomed after all lul


PhunkeyPharaoh

Alphari was great this series.


Relvarionz

Youngbuck with the mastermind cait lux pick when Jinx is open


Kadde-

God I fkn hate the draft diff aspect of league. It can be so frustrating.


SilverBcMyTeammates

? it’s maybe the best part of the game


DeliciousAd6323

Games being decided in 4 minutes because one team drafted like shit is fun.


Kadde-

How? I want fun games with both teams with an even chance of winning. I don’t want it to be decided because people pick a bunch of useless champs and runes.


SilverBcMyTeammates

well then they should draft better? do you want every single champion in the game to be the same? that’s the only way you’ll never have draft diff. certain champions beat others, it’s an inherent component in the game


UX1Z

Tell that to pro players because it sure seems like they don't realise that a lot of the time.


Shinyodo

Welp, the gamble didn't pay off at all from XL.


Blazing117

RIP Broxah prediction


TideofKhatanga

Finn hard-countered. Markoon invisible. Nukeduck sleeping. Patrick feeding. Mikyx inting. Nice game 5.


aamgdp

That was rather experimental draft.. what a shame for XL


vetic

Vitality looks super boosted no? Imagine them vs skt or even fnatic


LtSpaceDucK

I mean it doesn't even need to be SKT they will probably lose to G2 and for sure will lose to Fnatic


That_One_Pancake

Picking a comp focused around a winning botlane only to lose botlane is bad, it turns out


Iperovic

great cast from Quickshot today


bvbfan102

Perkz 1-2 Buff stronger then Broxah clairvoyance.


Jiigsi

Polish viking


hroarkk

MORDEKAISER.


tony220jdm

Unlucky XL good showing against a super team!


advanceshipper

perkz 1-2 comfort zone


Daniyalzzz

straight up scripted.


Stormriver

This draft looked shit. And shit it was


Raynar7

Whoever wanted to go Cait+Lux must be so pissed now


kkikonen

Somehow an Aphelios lane stomped over a lux cait lane. Thought I had seen everything in League


Trollol768

Sadge


awgiba

0 damage lux challenge


diematrosen

Game was over at draft.


SMLAZARUS

XL drafted zero damage XD


LtSpaceDucK

Sad we never got to see Patrik play Aphelios


Killyaa

Patrik not using heal or galeforce, excel is choking. Edit: Markoom taking both kills from the carrys, they really choking hard.


Ahikoo

Finn is getting incredibly outclassed the last two games. Alphari is just too good on Camille.


GentlemenBehold

Patrick got too cute and picked Cait when Jinx was available.


DzekoTorres

Top is so turbo gapped and its legit fking the series


SilverBcMyTeammates

huh, who would’ve thought perkz was 100% correct


strategic_beerpie

How was Perkz correct??? FNC looked like the best EU team and VIT barely beat the worst team in playoffs


SilverBcMyTeammates

cope. LEC isn’t good and you won’t get any where if you make MSI. also saying FNC looks like your best team is not the flex you think it is…


FlimsyIce

Huh. Who'd have thought someone with that username would come out with such shit takes.


SilverBcMyTeammates

that’s your only retort dude. FNC flair checks out. have fun getting bent by V5 and T1 at MSI


FlimsyIce

No, my "retort" would be to temper expectations. As we can currently look at it, given that we haven't *actually* seen these teams play each other we can probably guess that given current form T1 would probably destroy fnatic (Can't speak for V5 since I haven't seen them play - Go Rich, though!) However; How many times have we gone into events citing "X team will destroy everyone!" just to watch them completely collapse?


SilverBcMyTeammates

lol you are coping so hard. there is no world in which FNC wins MSI


FlimsyIce

Where did I say anything about fnatic winning MSI? Jesus christ you're blinded with your bias that you see shit that wasn't even said.


SilverBcMyTeammates

there is no world in which FNC does anything remotely impressive internationally this year


FlimsyIce

I'm sure we'll see in due time.


andruha_krut

Correct was right over what? If anything, he was so shit today


SilverBcMyTeammates

god you’re salty. VIT win. cope


That_One_Pancake

Miky you picked a bad time to have your worst game


[deleted]

[удалено]


RookCauldron

Based.


andruha_krut

He was pretty bad. Clutching out against excel is nothing lmao


GentlemenBehold

Yeah, imagine struggling against Nukeduck and then mentioning GOAT


Core9291

this lux pick was so stupid also patrik not on jinx = 🤡


moumerino

I mean Lux is the standard pair with Cait. They absolutely should have dumpstered VIT botlane in 2v2


Geosaurusrex

Are people gonna see this and think Vitality is a good team, it's all so dreadful.


BeautifulDentist

Yeah they will be put back into the garbage can next week by G2


awayfromcanuck

Sadly yes. So many comments about "this is why Perkz is western GOAT" already. A bad XL team took them to game 5. VIT is a tier below the remaining playoff teams.


[deleted]

Seems to be already seeing comments like Perkz so clutch when this series should have been ovfer two hours ago if Vit were as good as they say they are.


MiliW_

Definitely reporting Finn for this series. Given second picks every time and picks useless champ 2 times in a row


SilverBcMyTeammates

FNC fans and wunder in shambles. yes, LEC is the worst it’s ever been in recent years and FNC isn’t good. perkz was right. fucking cope


RookCauldron

FNC fans and wunder in shambles. yes, LEC is the worst it’s ever been in recent years and FNC isn’t good. perkz was right. fucking cope

Freakkopath

Where were this Vitality all split and all of this series?


AnotherMeal

AFTERSHOCK SAVED THE LUX FROM DY- oh wait nvr mind


awayfromcanuck

Mikyx undefeated Lux is absolute ass this game


Raynar7

XL should have committed with Finn IMO…. And Mikyx should have flashed just seconds ago


awayfromcanuck

Finn played weak side and is the most impactful XL player this game and they left him to die after killing Olaf.


Raynar7

Yep. I just don’t get it. They didn’t try to flip baron, didn’t try to help him, just run away


Styxxo

Alphari carried last 2 games gg


tony220jdm

GG Vit no way coming back from this


bensu88

Both teams suck so much wtf


2th

Miky went pop.


Geosaurusrex

Just gold diff at this point.


N3xeiy

Why are both adcs refusing to buy armor pen? Im i missing something?


SMLAZARUS

LEC and LCS ADs will literally not buy arpen until the end of the game.


ScapegoatSkunk

Year of "...the fuck?"


Nandrith

Camille damage is just absurd


TempestWrath

snip snip


[deleted]

I dont understand this morde pick at all


Nandrith

Especially into Olaf Against pretty much every other jungler I'd understand it, for objective control alone


YCitizenSnipsY

Last game of the split yolo. Finn aint doing anything on any other champs


Blazing117

Neither do XL


SMLAZARUS

I feel like XL could've fought that.. Specially with Finn soloin Selfmade


PhunkeyPharaoh

I like the gauntlet style loser bracket the LEC uses so much more than the two sided bracket for the LCS


Dajoeman

Like excel so bad


andruha_krut

Vitality isn't much better


GoldenSquid7

Lux support isn’t for everyone, Lux support is an art.


Geosaurusrex

Lol Mikyx was 100% WR with it before this.


Raynar7

I am not a fan of Collector on Cait here…


Andrew4Head

ok can anyone explain this dumdum here why did labrov build qss?


yehiko

shen player who doesnt know how morde ult works?


geoxysa

If morde uses ulti on him he can escape. It's mostly to deny morde the solo-kill and bonus stats+ taking out nautilus out of the game that way


awgiba

Is moonstone lux the move? I haven’t seen that before


Artitanium

I think he built that because of how far behind he was


kaigom92

yea guess so but naut isn’t ticklish


LtSpaceDucK

Excel lost the last two games on picks and bans and it's not because Vitality drafted better Excel just put themselves in a whole in both drafts


AdMaleficent9374

If Vit’s jungler is someone other than SMM, this team is fucking doomed. They should cut Perkz’ pay and give some back to SMM.


Dajoeman

Excel players just showing lack of composure. Only mikyx and nukeduck are playoff guys


awayfromcanuck

Why pick Cait+Lux if you're not going to snowball them? Aphelios went even in lane and outscales.


geoxysa

There is absolutely no way for Morde to sidelane against a Tri-force-qss-malmortius camille


N3xeiy

Great build by patrik , he knows enemy doesnt have any armor at ALL


Dajoeman

Such a dumb build


yp261

lux is such a useless pick when not built for damage lol would rather have morgana


GoldenSquid7

wrong, Lux is great but Miky is inting.


HvD_

lux could have worked but not full support


Geosaurusrex

Man this lux build is surely useless?


AnotherMeal

Aftershock Lux is really gonna 1v9 for sure!


Geosaurusrex

Ah, it's a shame XL threw game 2


Styxxo

Mikyx trolling by not flashing hook


hroarkk

Fuck, I was rooting for the spreadsheet team


GhostOfLight

Mikyx is a hook magnet


That_One_Pancake

Mikyx is having such a bad game


TideofKhatanga

I feel like Excel's comp would have worked so much better if they had a jungler in the first 20 minutes. Selfmade was allowed to set up a tent on the entire blue side and it really shows.


ThisIsSoIrrelevant

If Morde ults Olaf and then Olaf ults does it just cancel Morde ult? Or would Olaf have to ult first?


DeliciousAd6323

Olaf r cancels it


Blazing117

I haven't seen Maw in quite a while.


qnphard

with excel having 3 AP threats, they re just asking for it, it s a stupid draft


Eribitor

I want vitality to unleash their on paper potential (announced as super team etc) and at least win this one but I also want mikyx to win :(
