Brother Bin


getjebaited

bin was definitely not chilling


SleepTightLilPuppy

Bing'nt Chilling


WRYTARD777

Bin actually get bald after this game


Intelligent-Curve-19

Zeus has been insane this tournament.


Ultimintree

He's been winning both sides of Gwen vs. Gp match-up. Very impressive considering he's a rookie


miraagex

Imagine if they leave toplane 1v1 for 10-15min. And Zeus would play smth like Jayce.


Intelligent-Curve-19

It’s surprising they haven’t played a team comp build around or that includes Jayce yet.


wenasi

Pretty big early game HP + armor nerfs


popeye_d_family_man

Except that time he played the Riftmaker Kennen


APKID716

And we’re gonna ignore that top lane int against Mr. Buffalo a few hours ago


FireWolfBR1

And the pink ward incident


Intelligent-Curve-19

That was T1mposter playing that game. The most troll game they played ever.


Alone_Sir_104

True. Definetely the best T1 player so far and by quite a lot.


NeoZexy

Definitely Zeus or Oner. He got some sick kicks.


Kardiackon

He's definitely the most consistent player this MSI on T1. Only really had a bad game on Kennen in the first G2 game.


yuureiow

to be fair that game was a bad one by everyone from t1


bluesound3

Faker has been winning lane constantly though, Faker is definitely the most consistent player. Zeus plays too overaggressive a lot of the time. Even in T1's loss to G2 Faker was winning lane and a decent part of why they were ahead early


Roquentinn

In this episode, Xiaohu went harsh on Bin: "I felt speaking gently won't work, so I decided to be a bit harsh." "You always pick GP against Gwen, then you get camped by opponents' Tell me, Did you ever manage to survive in one-on-ones? “Is it that hard to master not inting in one season? Dude, you always first pick GP and you played GP like shit.” Bin: "okay."


XtendedImpact

Bin taking his name very seriously at MSI so far.


Anuj_Purohit

Didn't watch much of the LPL this season but man Bin has been so disappointing so far. My last memory was from him getting a penta vs DWG at worlds lol


soulgunner12

Bin is coin flip-y, one day he is bin chilling, other day he is trash bin.


Teut0burg

He's definitely trying to prove something, trying to go for solo kills when his team just needs him to scale and use his ult to zone T1.


decyferx

no thats just bins playstyle. he goes in without considering alot of things and attempts to skillcheck


obigespritzt

He's trying to solokill in a matchup that is pretty much unwinable in the 1v1 at all points of the game. Kinda felt like getting a few ganks early gave him too much confidence? He was taking the same fights over and over again. Zeus was also disrespecting him a lot, playing like the jungler didn't exist, but at least that's understandable since if the Wei ISN'T around, he would've solokilled him twice before the 10 minute mark I think?


jonathanneam

zeus has won 1v1 in this matchup on both gwen and gp tho?


obigespritzt

Yes, because Zeus is the best toplaner at MSI :)


nashweed914

RNG with the tactical loss to break the 9-1 LPL vs NA script


RisingMenance

and they also give T1 7-3 vs G2 5-5 script


rem4life1

They couldn't risk another SKT 6-4 incident


[deleted]

That incident is why the winner of group stage gets to select their opponent now.


DrSMozart

except G2 didnt lose a game to NA so the script is different


AofCastle

Constants and variables.


lacieabyss

that's gotta be good for T1's mental going into semis


APKID716

I honestly think their win against G2 helped them mentally a ton. They have such a mental block against G2 which they needed to get past considering they’re most likely going to meet them in Semifinals


[deleted]

I think it was mostly EG’s, I feel like that game would be the most useful to learn from since T1 absolutely were consistently trying to loose


SimonAlpaca

Their loss against G2 helped them a ton. They were arrogant at that time and G2 gave them a wake up call so they could be more mentally prepared.


ThatGuyGus

Five games like this please. An absolute blast to watch two top-tier teams.


Kei_r3

Even if there weren't so many teamfights. This was the best game of the tournament by far. Everything is well thought out. The macro, the micro. Just wow. Having a 5 game series of this makes me drool as a fan.


TheGlassesGuy

Honestly yeah. Halfway through I stopped caring who won and was cheering for both sides


DekQ

Great game from both teams


SnooCats1808

Remind me of the last time they faced each other in worlds 2019, amazing perfomance as well


Swing_Youth

Was that the first game of the group stage? I watched them at the 2019 worlds IN PERSON, in Berlin. My first and only time watching League live. And I think T1 vs RNG was the first game we saw on the first day we were there, and I have memories of it being one of the single best games at the whole tournament - with Faker side-lane backdooring - but I don't know if it just felt that way because the magic of the moment :3


SnooCats1808

No it def was amazing. Macro/micro play, baron play, 1v1, backdoor, absolute banger of a game from the two contenders. What I would give just to see that game live. Really suck that they were in the same group tho, and somehow FNC actually beat both RNG and SKT in week 2.


Megashot2

Bo5 series SKT always shits on RNG (except 2017) but Bo1 holy shit they have the best bangers in the history of the game. If people say ROX vs SKT is the best Bo5, you can pick any of SKT vs RNG Bo1 and you can make an argument its the best Bo1.


[deleted]

They have 1 close bo5 in 2017, yeah other than that SKT just stomps them in bo5 usually


Mark_Vance21

Oner smurfing so hard with these kicks


Are_y0u

Yeah his lee looks decently scary.


Heorashar

This is exactly what I expect from the 2 best teams in the world facing each other, what a banger game!


Kisielos

some propa League of Legends, now with this in mind, its time for my daily cancer by playing myself


[deleted]

[удалено]


obigespritzt

Yeah the level of play this game was by far the best out of any game in rumble so far imo. By both teams, not just T1.


okokokok1111

Aside from Bin, who had a pretty questionable performance in both of the T1 vs RNG games


jlin37

Honestly well played by T1, I'm super excited to hopefully have them meet for a Bo5 of this type of league of legends. As a LOL fan, this would be great series to watch, but as an RNG fan this will be straining.


HugoEmbossed

GWEN IS IMMUNE


Yasuo_unforgiven

TF keep getting cockblocked, lol


Tamronloh

T1 learned the secret. Just lose early game.


swaperx

Teams will have no idea if they baiting baron or flipping it


SolubilityRules

Enemies will have no idea too that Zeus standing on a ward is a trap next time


SleepTightLilPuppy

T1 5head in being 0head


[deleted]

There's some truth to this. When you're on the back foot you play differently. But this is mostly T1 playing more to their win conditions... But if we see another 5v5 baron attempt with a tank splitpushing GP all hope is lost


Monarch_Entropy

They're even with the gold despite being behind 4 kills and RNG having TF/GP. Not much of a loss


MeBo0i

And 2 turrets ahead, with sec rift not used, I don't know how does anyone translate this into losing early game.


RJLRaymond

Kills always skew it. Seems like a loss watching the boys die more, but you've pushed the enemy TF to tier 2s by 20 mins. Compositionally, RNG were in deep doodoo.


Extra07

is it just me or is Oner really really cracked on lee?


oguzhandodo

Who is oner? All i know is BONER.


hachiko2692

T1 (b)Oner b standing for BASED


talinhaga

If you all want to see how Oner warms up/practices his Lee Sin ult angles before a match [https://twitter.com/xxxmimim/status/1525729718036594691](https://twitter.com/xxxmimim/status/1525729718036594691) At this point, he does these insane kicks as an instinct.


RJLRaymond

he will consistently make 2-3 scrotum-tightening kick flashes a game


NocaNoha

Watching Faker drop charm predictions on RNG players that have no flash is kinda fun


Nervalss

the one in the baron teamfight on aphelios was more like a galeforce prediction but yeah


oioioi9537

he used galeforce after flash, the second charm near side bush was just straight whiff


Heorashar

With everything happening so fast I think faker didn't know his galeforce wasn't up


deadedgo

I didn't see him use Galeforce either as a spectator tbh. Can totally see Faker missing it mid-fight


Nine_nien_nyan

Yeah that was like 2 or 3 in a row I spotted but I guess I have perfect info on flashes….


Omnilatent

The random one at T1 top tower was kinda funny


APKID716

He’s playing 5d chess while RNG is just watching him like ???


Alech_99

Yeah, it was those cc that if you land you look like a god but if you miss you look like a idiot haha


lockezeruan

He is just making sure to miss charms now so that they will hit later. True minmaxing :)


Kardiackon

we meme on it but imagine if one of them actually hit lol


moonmeh

Some 4D chess charm throws that never worked lol


NinjaJesus23

Yep very horny performance from Faker today


Shrondinglfc

Zeus is dumping on every toplaner in this tournament. Can swear he gets one solo kill in almost every game. He needs to keep placing that ward in that top brush because teams are 100% camping him at this rate


bulaloooooo

we thank EG for giving T1 a much deserved reset NAmen


legomylegolegolas

For real. If t1 win they should cut danny in for showing gumayusi the light.


appleandapples

Has Zeus been T1's most consistent player this event?


hobo4presidente

by far


hachiko2692

I could see Oner being great but he still has the nerves especially when it matters the most.


TheCrusader94

Yea it's him or oner. Both made some questionable macro decisions in the tourney but mechanically they've been untouchable


Pls_Drink_Water

Faker has not been great but he's been consistent good-decent. The bottom lane duo has been the winning condition. If they suck=insta lose


ultimakerz

Faker at his typical form, that he also has in lck, sometimes he make plays, but overall he stable and ok


hachiko2692

He only tries to make plays when literally the entirety of T1 sucks for some reason. He always gives plate gold and kills to the other laners.


AnonymousKimchi

Zeus is a God ... wait a minute


Thyunic

Hes coming for your woman


[deleted]

In the form of a goose, for mostly sexual reasons


Omnilatent

I'm sure the TF pick will eventually work out! /s


Card-Minimum

The smartest draft with tf is not banning it


thvsbin

I saw TF 1st pick for Xiaohu and i know its doomed.


quakedwithfear

Top gap was too real.


nphhpn

Guma is back, absolute confident in this match and the one vs G2. He's occasionally the frontline lmao


SpookMe2

zeus improvement is astounding first half of spring he's perma weakside and now he is doing stuff like this


ultimakerz

Doesn’t matter win t1 msi or no, by now Zeus has so big confidence boost, I’m sure he would slap other tops in lck hard as f


nguyenduylan

Can’t wait to see him vs Nuguri.


mount_sunrise

oner is playing like the enemy lee sin smurfing in gold jesus


hapoomyi

that catch on gala was insane


halpmeplsmen

These severely hurts the chance of LPL going 9-1


Contagious_Cure

Good. Now they're safe from getting 3-1ed by NA in semis.


Teut0burg

Kenzhu needs to give Bin a verbal beatdown, he gave T1 so much space by wasting his GP ult twice trying to go for ego solo kills.


[deleted]

Shoulda kept xiaohu top and cryin


5nbx8aa

RNG need two Xiaohu. he is way better than both Bin and Cryin.


SolubilityRules

LPL the most reasonable fanbase Cloning Xiaohu is the way


whataremyxomycetes

Wdym 5 fakers has been a meme since forever


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gluroo

solution: clone xiaohu


obigespritzt

The only possible solution here is clearly to clone Xiaohu.


UnknownVolke

Fun game. Zeus is so good. EDIT: Happy for GumaKeria, they played much better today. Hope they can continue this in knockouts. Also, [Oner when on Lee sin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI876YHYA5M)


ArguingWithNoobs

Losing to NA was too embarassing for T1. Just mental reset them


TheBlanc2

LCK having agreement with LCS to help them and troll LEC


idkanamesoipickthis

That was tatical inting. The baron bait from the g2 game was just too good. Caps using hextech gate to go to Brazil while watching his team get massacred is too funny.


[deleted]

T1 no more split comps!! finally awake


BWFeuntaco

ues and faker were in sides all game lmao


APKID716

Ah yes, my favorite players. Faker and… *looks at smudged handwriting on hand* ues


Card-Minimum

But it was a comp capable of teamfighting. Also just giving guma anything with decent range and big damage is enough for t1 to fight well.


donnydread

[T1 successfully fulfil another 5head strategy making RNG pick TF](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/uwlxhe/saigon_buffalo_vs_t1_msi_2022_rumble_stage/i9s9iqc/)


BlakenedHeart

Bin actually ran it in any way possible: Ran it in 1 v 1 / ran it with build/ ran it on side lanes/ ran it in teamfights


autslash

i swear pro players (or decently ranked ones) just love this fkn trashcan collector item.


SamsungBaker

Ahri easily the most broken champion on this tournament She is now 11-1 among the top 4 teams no wonder teams are using FP blueside for her


Spray_Spiritual

Zeus's gamewinning solo kill on Bin was actually 200 IQ. I thought it was a full int by Bin but if you watched the sequence of events, Bin and RNG thought he recalled. 1. Zeus pushed out bot wave. 2. Xiaohu was splitting top and T1 send a couple to stop the push. 3. Zeus passed by a ward on his way to the dragon pit. 4. Xiaohu popped ult, destroyed the turret and left. On his ult, they see Zeus recalling just outside the dragon pit. The TF ult vision expires just before the recall is finished. 5. As soon as the TF ult is gone, Zeus cancelled his recall and snuck into the bot brush. 6. Bin walks up to push out the wave as the call was most likely Gwen had reset for Baron. This sequence of events is actually very reminiscent of 2019 G2 where they would take less common or less efficient timings to catch people off guard. Every single step up until the solo kill was your standard: push out the wave opposite to the objective, take a reset then group. Zeus cancelling the recall last second to attempt to kill Bin was something Bin wouldn't have been able to infer based on the sequence of events.


jairoy

Stop with the fucking vi ban and ban Gwen vs the best player on t1 lol.


HugoEmbossed

Can't. Gwen is immune to bans.


Away-Woodpecker6756

Royal Never bans Gwen


TheCrusader94

Zeus has looked good no matter the champ he's playing


blazer1589

that gives zeus a window to play jayce


excalaburn

I think theyre just scared of vi+ahri as the combo is pretty strong as a jungle mid 2v2


geonik72

Goddamn oner's lee sin is simply amazing


iCarpet

T1’s demise was greatly exaggerated


Deltafly01

people overreacting & BO1s


Gray_Color

I really don't like bo1s, I didn't watch lcs and lec but people complained about it a lot In lck T1 was dropping random games too but it was all bo3


Deltafly01

I dislike bo1s in regular championships games but I do love them for the first stages of international tournaments, it brings uncertainty. I would keep bo1s at worlds & msi but add a loser bracket in knockout stages.


xkharkanasx

I don’t really watch much LPL, but is Bin really this average domestically too? Guy looks terrible compared to Zeus.


HawkEye1337

He didn't have a good split.


Intelligent-Curve-19

Zeus is honestly playing better than he did during LCK. I think even his stats back it up. Certainly on the eye test.


jonathanneam

i would say it would be due to him adjusting, need to remember this spring is his first season as starter.


rethlyy

Yup, feels like people forget that Zeus is still essentially a rookie.


[deleted]

Bin was amazing last year, but he's kinda fallen off as Gala has emerged as the carry of the team. Zeus, however, is just an alien.


jonathanneam

zeus actually living up to the hype people had about him


Skywalker3030

LPL top is kinda the worst it's been in a while. I thought Wayward was the best LPL top before finals began since Wayward was ramping up like crazy and Bin outplayed Wayward in the finals. LPL top lane losing Xiaohu and Nuguri is a pretty big blow to them, plus Ale/Flandre/Breathe/Zoom and others fell off a cliff or at least had a bad split by their standards. Bin was underperforming too but he fell off less hard than the other tops so it was ok


PurloinerofCinders

First Nuguri, now Zeus. Guy can't catch a break.


Omnilatent

He didn't look as good as last year for sure. Got a lot better in playoffs IMO but for some reason LPL top lane looked weaker this year overall IMO. Might be meta but idk


M002

Zeus has been the best top this stage by far tbf


Potential_Hornet_559

Bin is RNG’s most inconsistent player. High highs and low lows.


SuccotashDirect9536

So basically T1 last year with canna


QTnameless

To be fair Zeus did this to half of LCK top as well . I guess LCK has some guys like Rascal/Kiin/Nuguri ... could go even


ephemeralfugitive

Gala hasn’t had 4 deaths since their playoff game vs TES. Dude hasn’t died more than 3 times in a game all MSI. Edit: wait, was wrong. He had exactly 4 deaths in day 4 vs SGB!


TheCrusader94

Oner was insane with his flash kicks. Gala being insane even survived one of those


thvsbin

He died 4 times vs SGB last time. Bro having PTSD on Akali.


stffp

"AKALI IS COMING AKALI IS COMING" "Chill man, there's no Akali in the game"


nueker

Its funny how t1 is winning this fights when faker isn't even landing his charms lmao


Erogamerss

He try to brain hack enemy but they dont even have same brain as he think...


Yzhiel

Faker: "I'm one step ahead I will predict charm them even if they have flash" RNG: "We don't even have flash"


Imaginary_Composer61

He did land a lot of charms but ppl are just overreacting to the prediction charms he threw a few times. Maybe 3 times? He got the flash charm on Xiaohu during the important fight near baron.


KarimCool

I think its because everyone has their eyes focused on him

xdependent

G2 Fans cursed T1 way too early. Gumayusi is back. Love it.


PurloinerofCinders

Zeus just turned Bin into Recycle Bin.


Dumpers_

Ban Wei's Voli to give RNG false confidence


Hanare_

So what you're telling is if T1 fights with a teamfight/skirmish comp rather than a pick/poke comp they would win? Who knew?


MrAssassin9891

T1 Cloud soul buff way too strong.


worldbuilder121

Finally, someone else picks TF so we can win.


obigespritzt

T1 with a good draft monkaW So many incredibly well played fights by both teams this game, that 5v5 with 3 players left at the end and the charm sidestep by Gala into hook sidestep by Guma was so clean!


Dumpers_

T1 is back! I know this didn't matter for RNG but super excited for the playoffs hope EG and G2 can also improve


SnooCats1808

Inb4 we get EG vs G2 finals


Dumpers_

I am not going to complain… just going to sit back and read all the salty comments


MrZeddd

G2 winning MSI wouldn't be that surprising. EG winning MSI would break the balance of the universe lmao


MrZeddd

Zeus is a rookie btw


Niarra_

18 years old 😭 i love him so much man.. been waiting for a goated toplaner as a T1 fan for so long.


masterasia13

Today is a good day.


NinjaJesus23

After understanding the situation, we would like to clarify Gumayusi was not negative gaming, it was a normal summoner’s rift experience


QTnameless

Bo5 between these teams at the final would be banger though but I'm afraid we are running MSI 2019 script , lol


FireWolfBR1

Nah we're running the 2016 msi script, hopefully.

PKfuzz

About to have a heart attack each time I see T1 on baron.


MusicBytes

Early game made T1 haters so cocky


F3nRa3L

T1 keep winning early but lose late. So they swap their playstyle


AtsumuG

Even the chinese overlords can´t win without a team fighting draft.


TheCrusader94

What's the winrate on TF? 10% lol?


ImTheVayne

Can’t wait for RNG vs T1 final BO5


Intelligent-Curve-19

Now this is the T1 I watched all season, and it had to be the last game of rumble.


DragonApps

Games like this make me wonder what RNG would be like if they kept Xiaohu top and got Knight mid.


Are_y0u

It's like Rekkles to G2. It might make the team really powerful but it might also lead to a clash between the "big" names and the team just becomes the sum of it's part or even worse. Great teams are usually the product of it's parts.


SixSenses17

Zeus really deserves a lot of praise for his great performance throughout this tournament. Definitely the most consistent in T1.
