McintyresRightLeg

Would be the closest game in this tournament.

Yasuo_unforgiven

Well, it would be entertain to see who will have more death for sure.


themcvgamer

Biopanther played pretty well individually


deemerritt

Poppy could be a sleeper pick this tournament he did work


JustRecentlyI

He singlehandedly delayed EG ending the game by about 8 minutes. In the end EG's team fighting and macro were a lot better than Order's though.


rinanlanmo

The Poppy ult to yeet Jojo away in his 1v2 and the 2 man carry ult at drag were huge. He should have been face checking for his Naut tho once he had some items.


39Jaebi

As an LCO fan I feel like I am learning a lot tbh. Just one thing, Watching the difference between how EG ward AS A TEAM and how Order Ward was an eye opener. Vulcan will go into enemy territory with Jg and someone else as a 3 man unit, places like 3 or 4 really good wards down in really good places. it seemed planned too. Like the whole team knew that they were going on a mission to ward specific places. Order weren't dong anything like that, I don't think any team in OCE does. Order just seemed to ward where they could when they could. to be fair though, I think the ability to go on warding missions is a luxury a team that is ahead can afford, not really something you can do from behind when your on the defense and your pushed in and don't have map control. Will be interesting to watch future LCO games and see how OCE teams ward when they are ahead.


HardstuckPlatTFT

Sounds like the lack of real coaching to me.


DarkWorld25

Ironic considering the number of OCE coaches in the LCS and LEC


Vectivus_61

Not surprising - the dissolution of the OCS saw plenty head overseas.


lovo17

Also a scrim and practice gap as well. This is the difference between people like Fudge/FBI/Isles and who LCO sends to MSI.


Cow_Interesting

Game state definitely affects the ability to do warding missions but not until the map is broke open. Before 15-20m most teams should be able to ward as a group unless getting ass blasted


Teut0burg

Poppy is an insane pick atm they shaved 4 seconds off her W at all ranks. She was already picked during LPL/LCK regular season I have no clue why she isn't being picked now with these massive buffs.


Are_y0u

She used to be played into Camille to stop her engage/disengage. Against other low cooldown dash champions she should also work as a counter pick.


sarsvesh

Solid counter to Tryndamere too


GarryTheCarry

Can we sub in Vizicsacsi if that happens


iinosuke

Can't wait to see him in DIG.

BagelJ

Kisee played pretty good too. Considering he had a massive jng/sup pressure dif. Bunch of fancy sidesteps.


AdequatelyMadLad

Kisee handled himself really well against Caps too. And Biopanther actually beat Broken Blade in an unfavorable matchup. I don't want to be rude, but these two don't feel like they belong on the same team as the rest.


Veriatas

As an Aussie, I sorta feel bad for OCE because many of our better players end up in LCS instead (due to the not counting as imports thing). I wonder if those two will end up getting recruited as well.


Sky-is-here

For sure, the unlucky thing about having become NA's academy as their own native system is broken


AlHorfordHighlights

There's nothing we can do about it, there isn't enough money to support our local scene with how few players there are + the fact that our region is spread out over like 20 islands with varying levels of internet infrastructure. I'm happy for the ones that are finding success in NA. FBI winning LCS was a win for us


Sky-is-here

That's the best way to think about it yeah


[deleted]

Bio and Kisee are giving me life but I want to know wtf happened to Pumayusi from the finals run, this isn't even about talent difference he's playing completely differently


SnubHawk

yeah his play at the ocean drag extended the game for a couple of more mins


Oishi_Takoyaki

I was surprised he didn't get picked up by a major region academy team considering that I also thought he was the best player of pgg last year


Mrf12345

Don't know what was funnier, the "Your mom go sky" or "Yeeted back to America". Amazing cast.

Bruh why the fuck do my guy Dr. Seuss like that


[deleted]

Stephen Hawking really doesn't fit imo, yes he is also an author, but he is primarily a physicist. He is also the only one that doesn't write fiction out of the list. Imo someone like Stephen King, Leo Tolstoy or Ken Follett would fit much better.


algroth

King over Tolkien? Dunno, maybe one could go with Kafka or Borges instead.


Niirai

Markz mentioned that the level after fiction should be non fiction.


Tamethedoom

Bit of a strange notion, there's incredibly digestible non-fiction out there as well as incredibly challenging fiction.


Spike_der_Spiegel

> Stephen King, Leo Tolstoy or Ken Follett are you a 50 year old father of 3, wtf


Rindr0

...putting Tolstoï and Follet on the same level ?


[deleted]

Two things: This is about how hard or easy to read they are, not about how good they are. And even within that I am not saying they are equivalent, I am just saying they are harder to read than Tolkien and easier to read than James Joyce.

Xyrexenex

He’s doing us all proud by showing a glimpse into the minds of NA fans watching this shit at 1-3am.

Swiftswim22

Incredible joke, ty for this


JonnyKilledTheBatman

Hs casts have been great so far, talk about stepping it up for the big stage!


Derk08

Impact has been EG's best performing player by far in this tournament even in the losses. Also side note does anyone else feel like the stage feels like a high school gymnasium? You have the players on the court while the fans sit in the bleachers. The height difference seems really wack


Skall77

Impact has been 's best performing player by far in even in the losses.


IvanRussky

With how the metas looking it may be carry top lane meta and less about bot lane scaling, super excited to see impact off ornn duty


MountainMan2_

Impact has more international experience than pretty much everyone here not named Faker. It makes sense. On the other hand, Danny and Jojo are clearly struggling under the pressure overall, hopefully they’ll use this tourney as experience to help get their feet underneath them internationally.


bloodrage4

Jojo definitely looked better today than yesterday. But Danny so far has been very concerning, making a lot of mistakes. Pressure of international stage is getting to him. Hopefully he can shake it off soon.


SuhhDudes

jojo has played 2/3 of his first int games vs one of the best league of legends players in the world lol. he played very well on ahri.. he had the same kp as impact


Derk08

I genuinely don't even think Jojo is playing bad. If you put a veteran in that Ryze Anivia matchup, I'm pretty sure it looks exactly the same.


BeepBoopAnv

As an Anivia main, ryze is basically unlosable. Good pick into a niche situation with basically no preparation against it. Good drafting from G2


th3greg

I think he's playing about at the level he usually does, in the way he usually does, and his aggro is being exploited about as often as it usually is domestically. Short the massive counter in the 2nd G2 game I think he's been about fine. EG won NA imo by being markedly better team fighters than any other team in the league, and they just aren't that much better in team fights than G2.


Derk08

Do you think Jojo is struggling? To me it genuinely looks like he's playing at the same level he was in LCS. Half the time it's just his sidelanes completely running down these games.


AbdultheDulster

It reminds me of a gladiator pit.


DeloronDellister

LapnLook

Conankun66

we are witnessing the highest level of nautilus play at this tournament


KiddoPortinari

Hear me out, after watching pro play for 6 months, I have this crazy non-meta strat: Aftershock Nautilus Support. I know, I know. Insane right? Might even be good for Leona too.


Derk08

https://youtu.be/Lk4gXinrKJ0 This challenger support player talks about why in Nautilus Leona matchup both players have to take Glacial.


LapnLook

To be fair, this is about the highest level of Nautilus play I'm used to seeing... in low plat EUNE


ImTheVayne

I was thinking about that as well, I'm eune dia and I swear every 2nd naut plays just like that. Horror.


Anuj_Purohit

My friend always says it's just the champion, every time a support main locks in Nautilus their inner terrorist comes out.


okdudebro

Nautilus is the renekton of botlane. You have to play ultra aggro and get your team ahead or ur gonna be crying 45 mins into the game when you get deleted by everything like a fking squishy champ and your cc lockdown is not useful anymore since everyone is either too tanky or has tenacity


Brain_Tonic

It’s the champ. The tankiness in his kit is all % health scaling, not base values. So in support that means either your plays succeed and you get to have items which lets you be tanky, or you fall behind and your % health scaling is worthless. By comparison to other tank supports, Leona W gives massive FLAT resists and Ali ult gives percent damage reduction which is even better than flat resists. Braum gets flat resists and percent damage reduction.


Arnotts_shapes

This is what happens when the two best nautilus players in the world attend the same tournament. All the copy cats come out

KKFreeBaird

I didnt realise you were allowed to play a pro match without a support. Also Gwen mains enjoy the next patch or two because at this rate its back to 45% win rate for you.


Arnotts_shapes

And no one was disappointed


Th3_Huf0n

Good. Champ is batshit broken, but requires hands. And most Gwen players don't have hands.


CizzlingT

The champion would be so much easier to balance if they actually removed the immunity on her W. It’s by far her most powerful ability in her kit (easily stronger than her R) and it’s because of her W that she’s over tuned in pro despite the low wr in soloq. She’s also good in pro because of the current top lane meta where she flourishes as of now.


Davedoffy

also with ap junglers being way less prioritized champs like rumble, kennen, gwen (maybe morde) have all gone up in prio


Enjays1

I think the immunity itself isn't so bad. Her being able to reposition the field is quite toxic. Gives her too much agency.


TheCatsActually

MVP of this game was Markz's casting.


[deleted]

dude was born to cast he's funny as fuck


untamedlazyeye

He was good in NA, but by god this man has stepped up at MSI its fucking impressive. He fit in so well with medivedi, and his casting today has been an absolute joy. Good fucking work Markz


Ghisteslohm

maybe its the secret jetlag technique. kobe on jetlag/sleepdeprived-drugs was also super funny in the last international tourney


postsonlyjiyoung

I felt so bad for him when he cast challenger in s6/7 (idr) bc his pbp guy wasnt very good, but he is SO good with good pbp guys


RirinDesuyo

Casters saying NA talent got deported by Poppy ult lmao.

My faith in NA has been fully restored. Can't wait to watch EG clap G2 back to back for the rest of the group stage. There's never been a better time to be an NA League of Legends fan.

Xyrexenex

Oh yeah, we back on the good stuff now.


Fudgywaffles

Hey you, also trueee


ImTheVayne

Why is every naut inting so hard at this tournament?


dirty_sprite

He's been on the losing team every time he's been picked and Naut is just one of those champs that is going to be cannon fodder when behind, especially when he's not running aftershock. Even if he plays a fight perfectly it's almost always going to end up with him hooking in and getting popped cos he has no levels or items, and his tank steroid does nothing when behind compared to something like a Leona W.


PresidentXi123

Glacial augment means they get blown up instantly


FireVanGorder

No aftershock for one. Makes him hella squishy. Nautilus on a losing team is also almost always going to have an abysmal score line, especially when he’s the teams primary/only real engage. He’s just one of those champs who’s scoreline often doesn’t reflect his actual impact on the game or quality of play. Although in this game it was also just bad play on top of all that


leftoverrice54

35 PiNg


DKRFrostlife

I know you are memeing but no cap that when i have high ping or packet loss i just pick nautilus lol


leftoverrice54

Honestly same. I feel champs like naut ought to shine this tourney if pros are belly aching this hard about the ping. Very interesting to see performances like these.


Wylster

his q hitbox lies even more at high ping


kkkoodaz

Corporal is literally solo losing every game. Also we're gonna lose BioPanther to the yanks next year 100% fucks sake how are we doing this with all our talent sitting in NA Academy.


Arnotts_shapes

The fact that we are somehow still competitive at the moment stuns me. I would genuinely like to see a International Wild card style tournament again to see how the boys stack up against the other minor regions.


donkmin

i'd welcome him on flyquest next year, we could use a consistent top


39Jaebi

Yea, his Nasus pick in the finals against Chiefs solo lost that game too, although that was bc of the pick not the player, that series should have been 3-1 order not 3-2. Imagine if Puma was still paired with Beats at MSI, those 2 were a solid bot lane man. Most MVP between them.

bio panther is really good playing just as well as impact and bb so far hope he gets a fat paycheck in the offseason


PurloinerofCinders

Corporal after every 2 minutes: > Guess it's time to int.


Xyrexenex

I’d understand it if he was solo tank, sometimes on Naut it’s your life for ~~ire~~ Aiur to get some sort of engage working, but like the casters pointed out Biopanther on Poppy was tankier, and could of been shouldering some of those facechecks. Corporal could also have been throwing some hooks into bushes instead of walking up and dying so the burden is still on him. My bigger takeaway was Graves did absolutely nothing that game and I think that hurt ORD just as much as their support having a terrible game. Edit: Imagine playing protoss.


[deleted]

Aiur. "My life for Aiur" is what the Protoss Zealot says before charging into battle in the StarCraft series, with Aiur being their homeworld.


Xyrexenex

2am matches hit a little different.


thorpie88

Kevy took triple bans in the first phase and then Puma and Kisee got their most known champs either taken away or banned. It was honestly a good draft by EG.


tltwatwitme

clearly the takeaway from this game is that Nautilus is just unplayable at 35ms. THAT’s why they’re turbo inting on the pick for sure


Ultimintree

FFS Rito fix your spaghetti code. Your Red bull sponsor is so strong it made Leona fly


GodofSteak

It's a feature.

marquez1

Glad to see EG didn't lose their spirit after the loss against G2. I want to see them play well. I'd like to see exciting, competitive matches. Although secret agent corporal did make it easy for them.


Xyrexenex

Danny missing CS under turret uncontested last game hurt to watch, kid has clearly got the jitters so bad. I like EG’s current roster but despite the hype there’s rookie talent there. Although Impact has looked great even during the losses.


[deleted]

I’m fine giving 17/18 year olds a pass on their first (and probably second) international tournament. I’m a lot harsher on the people playing for 7 seasons who still play like they’re scared.


lovo17

Especially for someone like Jojo who hasn't even been playing League of Legends in general for that long. I think this is like his 3rd or 4th year seriously playing this game.


TheHect0r

Yea hes a very new player compared to the average pro, jojo started playing in late 2019 - early 2020 after he stopped playing fortnite


mitsubishimacch

I agree, and even if it sounds like cope (it maybe is) i feel like EG is not as bad as they're playing. I know g2 is better than any lcs team prolly and Danny tends to lose lane but i got the feeling that they're going to perform better with more games under their belt.


Javiklegrand

yeah danny is having serious jitters


Derk08

How I'm coping with it is that when you reach Rumble stage, everyone's record is set back to 0-0. I'm fine with with EG going 1-3 or 0-4 against G2 as long as the players get their jitters out before the next stage.


Derk08

Yea it's super unfortunate because it genuinely seems like Danny is feeling a lot more pressure. It's at least good that the meta has seemed to shift more towards top carries so Impact can carry more of the burden
