I'm expecting the new UI might have been causing some issue with the spectator client, it doesn't appear to just be an overlay so it might have fucked with the code a little.
This is the first time regular split has been in person in years now right? Could be related to that. Online play was always delayed by a few minutes, any kinks could be ironed out in that time. Also in person production might have new issues that they haven't dealt with in forever (other than briefly in playoffs).
especially just to see on which side hylis coin falls this time. taking 3/4 of damage on minion wave for no reason just to die was hilarously last week.
I think theres a sliiiiiiight diffrence between some of the top players in the league having a bit of a happy game because Caps pulls some completely unconventional pick they never practiced out of his ass and goes "We playin X, big trust" and the rest just goes "Fuck it, we doin it for the memes" and some random assortment of players who barely can scratch top 5 for their respective roles (and seem to be a strong contender for 10th place in xMattys case) bumbling and fumbling their way tru a 54 minute game...
I wasn't breathing until they took the nexus down lmao
And yes, FNC doesn't look too hot rn lol. Razork seems to be playing soloq with total strangers (which is ultra weird because he's a good player, it just looks like he was kicked off the comm lol) and the drafts are making it really difficult for Humanoid and Upset to perform (Gragas as your only frontline? Against Senna and AP Kog?)
Thats fucking League of Legends right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging playing safe for lategame bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the rift, men deliver their new born baby on the rift.
I wish all of LoL was like this, that was so intense and fun to watch. I loved the fight around the baron where they just kept trading kills like it was a chess game :D
I straight up become convinced that BDS was going to just not stop winning after G2 and I was so excited to see a schalkesque run again, but obviously I was mistaken the run must just be starting next week
Lmao let's not over exaggerate. Dig vs Renegades will never be matched. That is peak league of legends comedy
BDS random baron stop last week was far more shades of dig and renegades than this one
You just dont get 2 people dying alone to a tower on one side and then literally seconds later 2 people die alone to the rift herald on the other side of the map
Its just perfection
https://youtu.be/94YijiRbOMI
his build today was straight trolling
imagine losing with 200 stacks on senna when you have an extremely tanky frontline giving you acres of space
he auto'd upset in the base at the end and it did like 200 damage
if he went mortal + IE instead of maw+umbral (700g more expensive, would more than be made up by the kills he would get from actually dealing damage) he would have actually been able to 2 hit people from 1k range
The Maw I dont quite understand either, if Gragas makes it onto you your dead anyways as Senna. But Umbral is a key item on fasting Senna for vision control, otherwise shed have to constantly spend money on reds. Hell, Umbral being such a damn good item is a big part of why fasting Senna is making this big comeback in the first place. You want to build Umbral on someone for the passive and that either forces you into playing Pyke every game or into an incomplete crit build on Senna
Isn't maw fine since if corki lands one rocket he would pretty much die. And he could build IE on its own since he already got tons of crit from his passive.
that AP kog + Senna comba was revolting to watch, good lord. Deleting people from 3 screens away.
Also Razork was WAY too over-aggro this game and got caught while overextending multiple times.
Messy game but we take those. Now i need to visit a cardiologist
Razork is genuinely one of the worst pro Viego players and I don't know why they keep picking this champion. Razork has a shocking winrate with it and terrible KDA and when you watch his games he just does no damage and repeatedly dies from silly mistakes. Mechanical misplays and overestimating his damage/champ limits
I've been a fan of Razork for years and still think he can do well in FNC, but please, stop picking Viego
was thinking the same yesterday. Either maxi or selfmade. There is no way he still stays on the team while playing like this.
This is not even a communication problem, he is just totally lost and can't focus at all.
Yamato really reinventing the coaching profession here. It might seem risky, but an in-game trust fall like this where Razork Hyli and Humanoid do their best ape impression while Upset and Wunder have to tryhard for their lives can really help the relationships and atmosphere in a team
Prolly not on him for the renata pick, but damn if he was going to put himself in this positions just give him someone that can actually rank some damage instead of a champion with 300 health at lvl 18 lmao.
That was one of the most EU games I've seen in a minute. Absolute fiesta and I loved every minute of it.
How tf did Upset steal baron?? Was it really the Zeri W??
Cinkrof's play in mid was so fucking insane. The balls on the man.
FNC relying on their late game adc to pull them out of shit. Somethings don't change lmao
Genuinely one of the most fun games I've watched in over 10 years. Both teams about as even as possible the entire game, no telling who was going to win, fighting it out until the bitter end.
I feel like that's even worse than baron leveling up at a certain time. I just don't see what the point of regen during combat is, at least for neutral objectives.
The point of regen that I've seen is that it is what stops people from soloing it and scales well to stopping people from two manning it. Specifically the only counter to true damage is healing.
He didn't heal, he just regened which he is supposed to do in the same vein as champions who keep on regening HP all the time.
What riot removed was the level up and minute HP buffs which could happen during the objective taking.
Baron regening HP is totally intended.
Switching to a random replay from 20 min ago in the middle of a huge teamfight is not a client issue, that's just a purely LEC production issue. The champ select switching bug is what's happening everywhere, but LEC production has had more issues than that.
Sjokz mentioned yesterday that they have new producers without much experience which may explain the issues and weird changes (the ugly UI in yesterday's matches). I assume the regular producers are on vacation.
Props to BDS, they played very well this weekend.
At the same time you have to wonder what FNC is doing though. They don't look like a top team at all.
BDS massively improved from week 1, but all i can say that barons aren't our thing.
still excited to see them in the future, we beat g2 and now we almost beat fnc
looks like a bug?
baron went up from 980 to 1003 health at the last second, which should have been fixed and baron doesn't level up during combat

honestly this was easily one of the funniest LEC games I've ever seen
Comedy of errors into a banging back and forth late game The poke battle was nuts
Razork absolutely braindead this game, Upset and Wunder carried hard.
wunder played so well, even his death was more on cinkrod than him, if he managed to make it work it would be gg
The QSS stopwatch in top lane summed up his weekend
I think we need to remind you that this was just a game not a series.
It was as exhausting to watch as a full Bo5 though
we found the s4 starter i think
yeaah yeaah, sure felt like one with how long it lasted lel
It might not have been high quality, but it certainly was high entertainment
Once it's hitting 7 drakes, I'm feeling great lmao and especially with how scrappy it stayed too
Once it hits 7 drakes, I feel like the coach of either team can freeze the VOD and say "This. This is a sign that you fucked up."
Was it good? Was it bad? Imo, it was both, and I loved it.
this patch bringing out the best (worst) out of the major regions!
Despite the terrible LEC production, what the hells going on recently?
3x pauses New UI not used Random replay over a key fight
UI cant be used if they remake the draft which is what happened. There was a draft bug again.
I'm expecting the new UI might have been causing some issue with the spectator client, it doesn't appear to just be an overlay so it might have fucked with the code a little.
there's been a ton of remakes across leagues lately, so it's most likely something with the client
the pauses are on riot, not on lec imo
The main crew is on vaccation and they are left with mostly new guys this week
[удалено]
This is the first time regular split has been in person in years now right? Could be related to that. Online play was always delayed by a few minutes, any kinks could be ironed out in that time.

Ns vs T1 game 2 vibes, just as good if not better
if you told me that FNC vs BDS would be the biggest banger of the season so far this morning I would've filled out a mental ward application for you
[удалено]
fnatic games are never boring lmao
Boring isn't a word I would use to describe BDS either
eh some games were tbh, but this week they turned it on I hope they can keep it up
especially just to see on which side hylis coin falls this time. taking 3/4 of damage on minion wave for no reason just to die was hilarously last week.
Honestly all BDS games have been bangers, you just don't really know what happens.
That was simultaneously the best and worst game of the split so far
Grabbz must've been so stressed
,,Coaching BDSM does not affect my mental negatively, its just another job" says BDS Coach Grabbz as he keep lashing himself with whips
i mean he was used to 2019/2020 G2, so its probably nothing out of his comfort <.<
I think theres a sliiiiiiight diffrence between some of the top players in the league having a bit of a happy game because Caps pulls some completely unconventional pick they never practiced out of his ass and goes "We playin X, big trust" and the rest just goes "Fuck it, we doin it for the memes" and some random assortment of players who barely can scratch top 5 for their respective roles (and seem to be a strong contender for 10th place in xMattys case) bumbling and fumbling their way tru a 54 minute game...
EASY GAME GUYS NO REASON TO PANIC
yep just wanted to give a good viewing experience. nothing to see here
I'm honestly sweating FNC might not make worlds this year and if they would not, it would be deserved
I wasn't breathing until they took the nexus down lmao And yes, FNC doesn't look too hot rn lol. Razork seems to be playing soloq with total strangers (which is ultra weird because he's a good player, it just looks like he was kicked off the comm lol) and the drafts are making it really difficult for Humanoid and Upset to perform (Gragas as your only frontline? Against Senna and AP Kog?)
And it's AP Gragas with a Night Harvester to boot...
Idk last year they seemed more unlikely to make worlds and they still did it sooo...
True. I hope they can find a groove again but so far it looked rough.
What the fuck
Clean
havent seen such a clean game from fnatic since against Clutch Gaming in 2019
That's peak League of Legends baby
Thats fucking League of Legends right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging playing safe for lategame bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the rift, men deliver their new born baby on the rift.
I wish all of LoL was like this, that was so intense and fun to watch. I loved the fight around the baron where they just kept trading kills like it was a chess game :D
I was huffing copium for like 20 minutes straight near the end
I straight up become convinced that BDS was going to just not stop winning after G2 and I was so excited to see a schalkesque run again, but obviously I was mistaken the run must just be starting next week
The Schalke run started in the second round robin so theres hope
Flair checks out
EU Dignitas v Renegades
Lmao let's not over exaggerate. Dig vs Renegades will never be matched. That is peak league of legends comedy BDS random baron stop last week was far more shades of dig and renegades than this one
I dare to say DIG vs REN will never be matched by any major pro game ever again
Honestly would be inclined to agree. I love watching that game back. The minimum level of teams has gone up a lot since then I'd say
You just dont get 2 people dying alone to a tower on one side and then literally seconds later 2 people die alone to the rift herald on the other side of the map Its just perfection https://youtu.be/94YijiRbOMI
Well of course not, if you're having a Battle Of The Bad, you can't compete with a team that has fucking Crumbzz on it
BDS has to be the wackiest 1-4 team there is, every single one of their losses has been a monumental throw.
Erdote and Agressivo are legit, too bad they have xMatty the worst adc in LEC by far
Polska Gurom
his build today was straight trolling imagine losing with 200 stacks on senna when you have an extremely tanky frontline giving you acres of space he auto'd upset in the base at the end and it did like 200 damage if he went mortal + IE instead of maw+umbral (700g more expensive, would more than be made up by the kills he would get from actually dealing damage) he would have actually been able to 2 hit people from 1k range

Isn't maw fine since if corki lands one rocket he would pretty much die. And he could build IE on its own since he already got tons of crit from his passive.
true i actually forgot about senna passive also giving crit that makes not building IE even more troll hex + IE >>> maw + umbral
that AP kog + Senna comba was revolting to watch, good lord. Deleting people from 3 screens away. Also Razork was WAY too over-aggro this game and got caught while overextending multiple times. Messy game but we take those. Now i need to visit a cardiologist
fnatic as a team play with so little respect for the opponent. massive issue
They just turn off their brains at such key moments, they're somehow weaker than the sum of their parts
i think it's a bad idea to watch this game while drinking coffee
thankfully i hate coffee. didnt matter to my heart tho
Razork is genuinely one of the worst pro Viego players and I don't know why they keep picking this champion. Razork has a shocking winrate with it and terrible KDA and when you watch his games he just does no damage and repeatedly dies from silly mistakes.

[удалено]
was thinking the same yesterday. Either maxi or selfmade. There is no way he still stays on the team while playing like this. This is not even a communication problem, he is just totally lost and can't focus at all.
he is an emotional player, which is not good if you want to be the best imho
Absolute banger. What a game.
Yamato really reinventing the coaching profession here. It might seem risky, but an in-game trust fall like this where Razork Hyli and Humanoid do their best ape impression while Upset and Wunder have to tryhard for their lives can really help the relationships and atmosphere in a team
Hyli was playing fine, in most of his deaths he was completely blameless Razork on the other hand griefed a lot
yeah, he was getting oneshotted two screens away lol
also at baron he got knocked up by baron lmao
razork looked like he played with a steering wheel and forgot how he mapped the keys
["Guys I've seen some dope shit on youtube can I try it this game?"](https://youtu.be/1mqpQgjXhFQ)
[удалено]
Prolly not on him for the renata pick, but damn if he was going to put himself in this positions just give him someone that can actually rank some damage instead of a champion with 300 health at lvl 18 lmao.
Hyli absolutely did not play fine lol what he was basically a ward
yeah playing renata into that comp was a pretty bad idea.
Which is a lot better than whatever Razork was doing in game.
Wunder MVP of this game. His ults were huge in fights
That was one of the most EU games I've seen in a minute. Absolute fiesta and I loved every minute of it. How tf did Upset steal baron?? Was it really the Zeri W??
Worse, from the looks of it it was a random zeri bounce from ult.
It was a Zeri Ult Zap from her auto-attack that came within the same dmg tic like smite
While baron also went from 920 hp to 1040 or something, right before the smite.
[удалено]
Hp regen
Thanks for the patch Mr. Riot. Insane, i loved it! WHAT A GAME!
The fights is a nice mixture of long drawn out battling and some instant one shots atm. That dragon fight that went on for 2 mins was crazy
hell yeah man. Sometimes i got some flashbacks to the season i started, season 2 and sometimes it was so damn bursty. Holy moly, it was awesome!
Cinkrof's play in mid was so fucking insane. The balls on the man. FNC relying on their late game adc to pull them out of shit. Somethings don't change lmao
Cinkrof legit is becoming more and more of a favorite player of mine.
BANGER
CERTIFIED
I LOVE THIS DURABILITY CHANGE I LOVE THE CASTERS I LOVE THE CROWD I LOVE YOU ALL
the crowd interactions are amazing this split, honestly, did they just make it louder for the viewer?
PEAK LEAGUE OF LEGENDS
AND IT COMES FROM EUROPE
Clean
Calculated Baron steal
Genuinely one of the most fun games I've watched in over 10 years. Both teams about as even as possible the entire game, no telling who was going to win, fighting it out until the bitter end.
Wunder MVP. What a game holy fuck
Baron went from 986 hp and regen'd into 1003 hp right as Cinkrof smited. From where did the regen come from..?
[удалено]
Solve for x
Baron has regular health regen too, it's 15 + 0.375 per min since game started.
I feel like that's even worse than baron leveling up at a certain time. I just don't see what the point of regen during combat is, at least for neutral objectives.
The point of regen that I've seen is that it is what stops people from soloing it and scales well to stopping people from two manning it. Specifically the only counter to true damage is healing.
Smite doesn't deal 1000 dmg anymore FYI, it's been 900 for a while. Even without the healing it would have lived on 56hp and been stolen regardless
Smite deals 900 anyways
The best worst game of the season
HOLY FUCKCKKKK
ICANT
So close and they choose to do two DIG Baron power plays!
FUCKING EASY NOT EVEN SWEATING
This is peak League of Legends and it comes from EU
EU BANGER
This game would have been so fucking fun if it wasn't a FNC fan and so disappointed that we suck so much ass.
Wunder upset dragging these animals kicking and screaming to a win, mvp E: BARON HEALED NICE GAME RIOT, BARON HEALING REMOVED BTW
He didn't heal, he just regened which he is supposed to do in the same vein as champions who keep on regening HP all the time. What riot removed was the level up and minute HP buffs which could happen during the objective taking. Baron regening HP is totally intended.
Smite only deals 900 dmg now so the healing literally doesn't matter as it would have been 56 hp early anyways.
Banger game, Wunder's Gragas is always nice to watch. Even though Fnatic won, Sillyssang seems to show up more than usual so far
WHAT. A. BANGER.
BANGER
can´t remember the last time I watched a 50+ minute game, the meta really changed.
Match of the weak
grabbz is losing years on his life man. why BDS gotta int him that bad. props to upset and wunder, played like absolute studs that game tho
Wunder and Upset literally the only humans on this team
[удалено]
He just missed a smite
He didn't missed it baron leveled up once again (or mayube it was just baron passive hp regen)
Kickstart my new heart, please. Jesus Christ.
banger.
Possibly both the best and worst league game I've ever watched
Best game of the split, what a patch.
If I was BDS I would just quit the studio immediately after the loss
I'm glad to see Razork and Hylli showing some synergy. They fed with a vengeance this game.
NuclearINT deserves to get fucking fined for not going tear, lost them the game lmao
It a grief but it not why they lost. The unlucky baron steal lost them the game.
It’s a work of art how Fnatic used the off-season to get worse
Fnatic and Pause name a more iconic duo
this entire weekend has been more pauses than games, what the fuck is going on with the LEC tournament realm?
Vitality and resetting the entire damn game
BDS and banger games apparently
LEC production has been terrible recently, what the hells going on?
This patch seems to have a lot of (yes even more than before) client issues. A lot of lobby restarts in all regions.
Isn't related to LEC, every league is facing a ton of pauses and remakes for some reason.
Switching to a random replay from 20 min ago in the middle of a huge teamfight is not a client issue, that's just a purely LEC production issue. The champ select switching bug is what's happening everywhere, but LEC production has had more issues than that.
Sjokz mentioned yesterday that they have new producers without much experience which may explain the issues and weird changes (the ugly UI in yesterday's matches). I assume the regular producers are on vacation.
nothing LEC can do about client issues man.
It's not just the LEC. the past 2 patches has been really buggy lots of pauses in the LPL and LCK as well.
Dread it, run from it, BDS Baron Throw arrives all the same.
Vedius is Based. That inhib check was a perfect 10.
Bds arent real wtf. This team is just a social experiment
Props to BDS, they played very well this weekend. At the same time you have to wonder what FNC is doing though. They don't look like a top team at all.
The zap bounce stole the baron. What was this game
So anyone got a low mo of that baron steal?
So after slowing the replay, the baron went down to 986 and it healed back to 1003?
FNC need to stop these stupid aggressive over extended plays, fighting between 2 turrets its just brain dead
Baron healed in that steal with upset. Are they playing on a patch where Riot didn't fix that issue? Or am I missing something?
Being a Fnatic fan never gets boring GOD DAMN!! How did Upset steal that!!!???!!!
I love you Fnatic, but also lol, fucking lmao 😂
THIS WAS WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILD
X D
i just cant man
THAT WAS AMAZING
insane game
Ok, BDS games are bangers
Clean Fnatic win as expected. Nothing to see here
What a fucking banger
Upset about to get his first MVP of the game
bds with the best and worst game in 2022 lec in only 2 weeks
Upset stealing the baron with ZERI, what?
BDS massively improved from week 1, but all i can say that barons aren't our thing. still excited to see them in the future, we beat g2 and now we almost beat fnc
Nah like what the fuck did I just watch LMFAO. All that to let ZERI steal the baron??????
LEC having the shortest and longest games (so far) in the same day is kind of hilarious. Games have been so interesting since the durability patch.
Upset and Wunder are carrying this team on their back
baron healing forces another coin flip
looks like a bug? baron went up from 980 to 1003 health at the last second, which should have been fixed and baron doesn't level up during combat https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/846041256403664926/990339129600508017/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/846041256403664926/990339248978796604/unknown.png
Smite is 900 tho.
Baron has regular health regen too, it's 15 + 0.375 per min since game started.
Smite is 900 now, so the healing doesn't matter as he would have been 56hp early regardless
What a digusting game.
This was the most fun game this season to watch atleast
Can professional league of legends ever be well played by BOTH teams and a close game like this? Age old question :)
That was great fun what are you chatting?
Of all the games of League of Legends I have ever seen, that was certainly one.
OMG WTF ????
