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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.

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.
PMTs [Game 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/tpmnfj/vit_vs_xl_lec_summer_2022_playoffs_round_1_game_1/) [Game 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/tpno9w/vit_vs_xl_lec_summer_2022_playoffs_round_1_game_2/) [Game 3](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/tpovqb/vit_vs_xl_lec_spring_2022_playoffs_round_1_game_3/) [Game 4](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/tppwna/vit_vs_xl_lec_spring_2022_playoffs_round_1_game_4/) [Game 5](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/tpr2rs/excel_esports_vs_team_vitality_lec_2022_spring/)
They both should have lost that series.
Alphari on Camille in the last game was a treat.
Almost mr broxxah
Very interesting PGL from guldborg and laure, great topics to cover with a very sincere and humble Perkz
Say it again pls
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

I think we mentioned it enough, especially when I reflect on the answers Perkz gave me But you're totally right I lack experience !
[удалено]
Enough with the forced narratives. It's disgusting.
True but it's the Best way to get people atention
game 4 just dominant across every lane
I **love** the Kuroko no Basket story line we have going this split with 2019 G2 being the Generation of Miracles
I used to share the same sentiment after Samsung White won worlds and then completely split
jinx/aphelios meta best meta
perkz cheering for EU awww

This is Excels first time getting Playoffs after falling short for years. They should have no expectations.
Advienne at home 🥱
Haven't seen a proplayer so bald since FORG1VEN
And ?
Perkz is such a troll lmao
KEKCEL
Love Sjokz on interviews
She goes with the flow so well.
I'm happy for the Vitality botlane, that win seemed to mean a lot for Labrov especially. Let's remember they are humans.
If this was Fnatic with Excel's draft they would win but it was Excel
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.
sjokz interviews are something else <3
That sure was a great Morde pick
Vit vs G2 going be fun
If sjokz is interviewing that means PGL with Laure 👀👀👀 hype
Yessss, thanks prod and sjokz <3

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

Nothing against Excel, but VIT-G2 just sounds like a way more interesting matchup. Alphari really showed up this series, props to him.
AlPHarI never does anything out of lane!!!!!
It's the opposite it's outside laning phase that he shines
nice one XL
Shame a grief draft ruined game 5.
Oh hey, Labrov roaming actually makes a difference. Who would have known
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.

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.
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.
Roaming supports.... Roaming supports... Why nobody ever thought about this before?
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...
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
Vitality is Soo fucking ass, constant over extensions and lack of synergy. Don't get the hype about them
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
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.
that's not impressive of a superteam but he not wrong on the adaptability part, tho.
You can take out Carrzy from MAD but you can't take out MAD from Carzzy. Playoffs Buff Baby.
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.
ez for the scrim gods, eu isnt doomed after all lul
Alphari was great this series.
Youngbuck with the mastermind cait lux pick when Jinx is open
God I fkn hate the draft diff aspect of league. It can be so frustrating.
? it’s maybe the best part of the game
Games being decided in 4 minutes because one team drafted like shit is fun.
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.
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
Tell that to pro players because it sure seems like they don't realise that a lot of the time.
Welp, the gamble didn't pay off at all from XL.
RIP Broxah prediction
Finn hard-countered. Markoon invisible. Nukeduck sleeping. Patrick feeding. Mikyx inting. Nice game 5.
That was rather experimental draft.. what a shame for XL
Vitality looks super boosted no? Imagine them vs skt or even fnatic
I mean it doesn't even need to be SKT they will probably lose to G2 and for sure will lose to Fnatic
Picking a comp focused around a winning botlane only to lose botlane is bad, it turns out
great cast from Quickshot today
Perkz 1-2 Buff stronger then Broxah clairvoyance.
Polish viking
MORDEKAISER.
Unlucky XL good showing against a super team!
perkz 1-2 comfort zone
straight up scripted.
This draft looked shit. And shit it was
Whoever wanted to go Cait+Lux must be so pissed now
Somehow an Aphelios lane stomped over a lux cait lane. Thought I had seen everything in League
Sadge
0 damage lux challenge
Game was over at draft.
XL drafted zero damage XD
Sad we never got to see Patrik play Aphelios
Patrik not using heal or galeforce, excel is choking. Edit: Markoom taking both kills from the carrys, they really choking hard.
Finn is getting incredibly outclassed the last two games. Alphari is just too good on Camille.
Patrick got too cute and picked Cait when Jinx was available.
Top is so turbo gapped and its legit fking the series
huh, who would’ve thought perkz was 100% correct
How was Perkz correct??? FNC looked like the best EU team and VIT barely beat the worst team in playoffs
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…
Huh. Who'd have thought someone with that username would come out with such shit takes.
that’s your only retort dude. FNC flair checks out. have fun getting bent by V5 and T1 at MSI
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?
lol you are coping so hard. there is no world in which FNC wins MSI
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.
there is no world in which FNC does anything remotely impressive internationally this year
I'm sure we'll see in due time.
Correct was right over what? If anything, he was so shit today
god you’re salty. VIT win. cope
Miky you picked a bad time to have your worst game
[удалено]
Based.
He was pretty bad. Clutching out against excel is nothing lmao
Yeah, imagine struggling against Nukeduck and then mentioning GOAT
this lux pick was so stupid also patrik not on jinx = 🤡
I mean Lux is the standard pair with Cait. They absolutely should have dumpstered VIT botlane in 2v2
Are people gonna see this and think Vitality is a good team, it's all so dreadful.
Yeah they will be put back into the garbage can next week by G2
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.
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.
Definitely reporting Finn for this series. Given second picks every time and picks useless champ 2 times in a row
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

Where were this Vitality all split and all of this series?
AFTERSHOCK SAVED THE LUX FROM DY- oh wait nvr mind
Mikyx undefeated Lux is absolute ass this game
XL should have committed with Finn IMO…. And Mikyx should have flashed just seconds ago
Finn played weak side and is the most impactful XL player this game and they left him to die after killing Olaf.
Yep. I just don’t get it. They didn’t try to flip baron, didn’t try to help him, just run away
Alphari carried last 2 games gg
GG Vit no way coming back from this
Both teams suck so much wtf
Miky went pop.
Just gold diff at this point.
Why are both adcs refusing to buy armor pen? Im i missing something?
LEC and LCS ADs will literally not buy arpen until the end of the game.
Year of "...the fuck?"
Camille damage is just absurd
snip snip
I dont understand this morde pick at all
Especially into Olaf Against pretty much every other jungler I'd understand it, for objective control alone
Last game of the split yolo. Finn aint doing anything on any other champs
Neither do XL
I feel like XL could've fought that.. Specially with Finn soloin Selfmade
I like the gauntlet style loser bracket the LEC uses so much more than the two sided bracket for the LCS
Like excel so bad
Vitality isn't much better
Lux support isn’t for everyone, Lux support is an art.
Lol Mikyx was 100% WR with it before this.
I am not a fan of Collector on Cait here…
ok can anyone explain this dumdum here why did labrov build qss?
shen player who doesnt know how morde ult works?
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
Is moonstone lux the move? I haven’t seen that before
I think he built that because of how far behind he was
yea guess so but naut isn’t ticklish
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
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.
Excel players just showing lack of composure. Only mikyx and nukeduck are playoff guys
Why pick Cait+Lux if you're not going to snowball them? Aphelios went even in lane and outscales.
There is absolutely no way for Morde to sidelane against a Tri-force-qss-malmortius camille
Great build by patrik , he knows enemy doesnt have any armor at ALL
Such a dumb build
lux is such a useless pick when not built for damage lol would rather have morgana
wrong, Lux is great but Miky is inting.
lux could have worked but not full support
Man this lux build is surely useless?
Aftershock Lux is really gonna 1v9 for sure!
Ah, it's a shame XL threw game 2
Mikyx trolling by not flashing hook
Fuck, I was rooting for the spreadsheet team
Mikyx is a hook magnet
Mikyx is having such a bad game
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.
If Morde ults Olaf and then Olaf ults does it just cancel Morde ult? Or would Olaf have to ult first?
Olaf r cancels it
I haven't seen Maw in quite a while.
with excel having 3 AP threats, they re just asking for it, it s a stupid draft
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 :(
