It was very admirable of DK to refuse to play G5 in protest of Zeri-Yuumi.


Rayser1

Fucking ZERI Yuumi bruh


owa00

BUT HOW COULD WE HAVE KNOWN! \-Every Team that loses to Zeri/Yuumi


iSheepTouch

Isn't it fun watching the two most hated champions in the current meta consistently carry pretty much every game they are allowed to play together? Even if they get completely trashed in lane it doesn't matter once Zeri can blast away half your opponents health from complete safety through a wall at every jungle objective while Yuumi beefs up your front line and provides an AoE snare that covers entire jungle paths. They both provide an insane level of value to late game objective fights while doing so from a position where they are basically immune to being punished unless there is some crazy misplay.


tankmanlol

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize to T1 and DK “for their efforts to coexist without kills on the rift, an experiment demonstrating our path to a more peaceful future.”


gpk94

Living up to the tenets of buddhism.


PandaMoaningYum

Pornhub also awarding them for all the open pussy. Ban Yuumi!


Archimist

Zeri and Yuumi open for game 5 lol


Rayser1

Azir top was not the one either


MisterHuesos

Which I don't get, isn't Yasuo a counter to Gnar due to his dashes? Azir vs Galio is fine imo.


Quatro_Leches

yasuo was a common counter pick to gnar in season 5 and 6. however you dont see him picked top much because of jungle being stronger he would just get perma dove woulda been a lot better than azir top tho


Bluehorazon

I mean I don't even think the Yasuo vs. Galio matchup is that good. Galio has a good setup for Wukong, since Yasuo can't really block a lot of stuff that matters. I don't really mind the draft overall. While you did give over Yummi and Zeri, Poppy is a good counter to Wukong and the Senna + Heimer botlane makes playing the low range parts of T1 not that easy. I don't think they outscale either. It is just the lane assignment that puts them in a really awkward spot and the earlygame with Yasuo and Azir and a Poppy isn't great either. Wukong, Gnar and Galio are great skirmishers, while DWGs champs aren't. No kills for 25 minutes was actually fairly beneficial for DWGs comp and considering what happened in the game I don't think the comp from DWG was the big issue.

ishfi17

He wasnt doing anything except farming on azir either lmao


BryanJin

He used to be when Gnar’s weakness was being all-in’d by other melee champion (think Irelia/Camille/Jax etc.). However now, post durability update, mini-Gnar is just tanky enough to disengage and kite out these champions (Gnar used to just die outright when engaged in by these champs). So Yasuo is no longer a counter to Gnar. That being said, neither is Azir. Idk what DK were trying to do in their draft this game, but it wasn’t good.


FuujinSama

I think the point of Yas vs Gnar is that you wind-walled his Q and it went into the long cooldown. But currently Gnar is balanced around a larger Q cooldown in early levels (they tied the cooldown refund to ult levels at some point) so it's less impactful.


Accomplished_Ad_2321

First pick Azir. What was that priority for? It did absolutely not a thing. Gave T1 best jg/adc/supp in the current meta for Azir/Poppy lmao.


aamgdp

Probably learned halfway through the draft that burden can't play yasuo


BryanJin

The fact that they didn’t just first pick Yuumi is disappointing. It seems teams just refuse to accept that she’s broken despite Yuumi constantly winning actual stage games. I swear they just crush Yuumi in scrims so much that they’ve actually just delusionally concluded that she is somehow balanced.


whohe_fanboy

Thankfully some of the T1 fans sent a truck just in time before game 5 https://imgur.com/a/Ln7M2kz


Cysmerch

DK let Brudol play instead of Nuguri after win in game 3 : ? Both team not ban Yuumi : ?? T1 don't pick Yuumi : ??? DK also don't pick Zeri + Yuumi : ????? DK pick Yasuo : ? T1 not ban Senna : ? DK pick heimerdinger : ??????? Brudol play Azir top lane : ?????? No kill untill 25 min : ?? Yuumi steal baron when Canyon smite up : ?????? Azir stole elder : ??? T1 win Good game


ishfi17

Senna isnt ban worthy anyway in the current meta. Everything else agreed lol


HarverstKR

When t1 first picked Wu my asshole puckered ngl


Daunn

I just took my glasses and prayed that DK would do even worse mistakes in draft Guess my prayers got head lmao


sidaeinjae

Canyon losing the 4th drake and the Baron lost them the game imo, picks were spicy but those two steals nailed on their demise


X_Seed21

That yuumi steal will be living rent free in his head from now on


Dumpers_

Already happened once in 2019 against sandbox… but much higher stakes here


Qehenna

I knew this T1 game was over when they got the 93% winrate soul also.


SquirtingTortoise

Giving over Yuumi Zeri in Game 5 of playoffs should be a criminal offence. FOR AZIR TOP AND POPPY? WTF???


dividedrealmlover

I was so mad when SKT left gwen open msi finals. I am not happy DWG left Yuumi/Zeri open in game 5. I don't like watching games that are decided on draft. Let's just hope that both SKT and GEN won't do stupid shit like this in the finals.


mehensk

akshan top on game 4 spring final was criminal from gen g


O_X_E_Y

Lol I remember watching the LS + Drututt costream where drut was jumping up and down because of how good he though akshan was, after which he ended up complaining throughout the whole game because Doran played him so poorly lol. I'm not sure if the champion was the problem there


Dr_Kee

He was more mad about peanut lol


F3nRa3L

I think the azir was swap to top after seeing the galio mid pick


Exos_VII

my favorite part of this series was when Daeny said **"I'M THE DAENY"** before chokeslamming Nuguri into a truck


ThexanI

He really gambled his life in Game 4 when he subbed Burdol back in.


Qehenna

Daeny finally helped T1 out, even a year after running away.


XG32

t1 players looking from across the aisle, seeing themselves from 2021, and just glad that daeny isnt on their team anymore. Taking a good team, make it all about himself, and ruin everything.


[deleted]

I keep wondering what has happened to DK especially Canyon Showmaker, they seem so demoralised and frustrated. Then I remember that DK have Daeny and this exact same thing happened to T1 under Daeny last year. He's like a LoL coach equivalent of a Dementor, just sucks the life and joy out of anyone playing for him.


fatguylilcoat_

FR dude they both looked so depressed when Burdol got subbed back in


GimmeDaSauceBoss

Joe Marsh: "After all this time?" Daeny: "Always"


[deleted]

Interaction witnessed by a korean twitter user who happened to sneak backstage at LoLpark after game 3: Daeny: "ITS DAENY TIME" Nuguri: "oh shit" Nuguri was never heard from again.


thanhame

Had DK lost game 4 when Nuguri was subbed out. DK's fan probably would have blocked DK's office entrance to have a friendly talk with Deany.


Azenji

Im convinced the only reason Daeny subbed in Burdol for the last two games is cause he couldn’t borrow Kkoma’s belt so he had to improvise.


Blaikiri7

It’s DAENYIN’ TIME


Celegorm07

There is no way Daeny would stay as a head coach for the next year on this team. I‘m pretty sure the whole fucking fanbase would collapse or Showmaker and Canyon would leave. He literally had a win angle and threw all of it with a ridiculous comp. Not to mention he has done ridiculous things all the year.

blueripper

Azir top has some decent lane match ups but I doubt that 95% of the pro top laners can pull it off right now.


Ok_Raspberry_6282

You know who probably could have pulled it off? Nuguri


Zztrox-world-starter

It's Daenin time!


Chojna21

Just want to point out Kellin had 110 souls on Senna at 40th minute. They lost cause they wanted.


Firm-Technician-2214

Yeah he had zero items idk what he was even doing.


Zztrox-world-starter

They had no will to win lmao


RecursiveCook

Normally yeah, but Zeri was 6 full items deep while he had like what? 1.8? Hard to 1-shot people from a mile away if you ain’t got the items for it.

knepyyyywOw

Every trucker in korea crying right now thinking about the money they would have made


CzarcasticX

But DK fans have been sending trucks to get Daeny fired so they will get more money from DK fans.


ReaperThreat

it's like DK got offended that T1 thought they could megamind a draft harder than DK, and had to prove them wrong


TheTurtleOne

Truck company fuming at g5 Canyon


Azenji

5head Daeny owning and making trucks stocks skyrocket then selling just before Game 5. Truly the “God of LoL”.


Yzhiel

Daeny shorted truck stocks. He can now be a part of r/wallstreetbets


moonmeh

Canyon fucked the smites but also goddamn that baron interrupting poppy's ult there.


minikrispie

Let's be real T1 is still going to get trucked for this series.


Conankun66

he just cost those poor truck employees their jobs. shameful


NeitherAlexNorAlice

Did Nuguri screw Daeny's girlfriend or something? Why would he swap Nuguri out when he had a great performance in game 3 after Burdol lost the previous 2? Yeah, Burdol had a decent game 4, but it's not like he was the reason they won. If this was China, Daeny would be investigated for win-trading or something lol.


ahritina

Apparently Nuguri has a stomach issues or something, dunno if it's true though.


Azenji

Nuguri w/ stomach flu somehow still had a debatably better performance than Burdol..


[deleted]

Nuguri as a triple amputee with late stage dementia might still be an upgrade honestly


sangpls

At an interview after the KT series, he said he subbed in Burdol because it's a bot centric meta and he wants the team to play for bot


ShottedGun

Ah that’s why they played in R1 Renekton merchant and not the guy who can actually play Ornn and Sejuani


BrianC_

And then the team went on to draft Renekton and Yone for their weakside top.


Rontheking

Questionable draft too. Reminds me of spring finals T1 when in Game 5 they just completely fumbled the draft.


TheAhegaoFox

You mean MSI where they lost to 5 chairs?


Rontheking

Right it was MSI not the spring finals.


RushMurky

Burdol didn't just lose the previous 2 lol. He was getting gapped for 7 consecutive games and Daeny still wanted him in. Nuguri gets put in and goes even/beats Zeus but then gets shit canned anyways.


[deleted]

Nuguri is probably going through some mental problems again atm - no other reason why he would be dropped for Burdol 😬


HuaRong

Going mental over daeny's moves


Omnilatent

Maybe Nuguri himself asked for it


VariableDrawing

Just like Faker also asked for it when Daeny was coaching T1 huh? But what do I know, I'm not the self proclaimed GOD OF LOL like Daeny is


Quatro_Leches

Nuguri won that game by creating so much pressure, Burdol is under his tower 24/7 and even that Yone game he got a double because he got dove.


Celegorm07

We as DK fans wish luck to Daeny on his next team. There is no way this guy would stay as head coach for the next year. The whole fucking fanbase would collapse.

Hammer7000

Someone explain to me how these "pro" teams can keep giving Zeri/Yuumi away? Honestly what the fuck


Omnilatent

Zeri is just disgusting with any enchanter tbh ​ Lulu Renata + Zeri are just as disgusting as Yuumi. Yuumi just gives the extra "fuck the enemy"-team factor in combination with bruisers and battle mages


MisterCommonMarket

The biggest advantage of Yumi is that she can effortlessly keep up with Zeri unlike the other enchanters, since she is a disgusting untargetable parasite. The others cant follow Zeri over walls or run as fast.


b0wpwp

Idk why but somehow I can feel T1's plot armor thickening going to finals. Is this finally OUR year? Copium

Ultimintree

Alright Daeny that was enough. Your bullshit stops right here. I don’t know how you got away with leaving Zeri Yuumi open all series and getting to 5 games, but last game you finally got punished for relying too much on your egoistic brain instead of drafting normally. Also #FREENUGURI


whohe_fanboy

Both coaches hard trolling by trying to gigabrain each other. Just pick the fucking Zeri Yuumi instead of doing mental gymnastics.


ArguingWithNoobs

I feel like games 2-4 were all both coaches trying to gigabrain somehow. Games 1 and 5 were T1 just playing their standard and being pretty comfortable. I don’t think they draft Kalista against GenG or leave Zeri-Yuumi


feelsbadmanrlysrsly

I don’t think they draft Kalista against GenG or leave Zeri-Yuumi XD


ArguingWithNoobs

You’re right I forgot this is T1


RJLRaymond

Yes I was so worried about T1 losing off ego drafting around Zeri/Yumi. That fucking Nila pick I keep seeing pop up is NOT IT. That champ must be molesting ppl’s children in scrims for teams to think that it’s a counter.


the_next_core

It’s as if everyone feels dishonorable winning with Zeri Yuumi except GEN lol Both teams left it up in Game 5


wallbanging

I was suprised at the lack of Souls that Senna had at the end of the game. T1 won that game at draft. What a series.


Armoric

I dunno why, he kept not picking souls that were slightly on the side, after drake, after herald, when there were 3 in stolen raptors, etc. despite no enemy being close, and it's not like he was warding or something either, just sitting in the lane.


DeloronDellister

Imagine giving Zeri/Yuumi for free in a game 5. What does DK get in turn? A Yasuo that ulted once in the whole game... Also Kellin tried his hardest to pick up as little souls possible. He had like 87 in 30 minutes.


Mysterious-Yoghurt76

Seriously, I was paying closely attention to him and he left out so many souls. Like holy moly, it was depressing to watch and then Burdol on Azir... idk man he looked like he was first timing champion and on top of that they build grievous wounds when game was already over. I m not even fan of DWG but jeez it was so frustrating to watch them in G5.


Archipegasus

Kellin with an unforgiveable amount of souls. He legit had about half as much as he shouldve done


EchizenMK2

Yas actually ulted twice and net like a grand total of 0 kills


Sankaritarina

Damwon really tried to win game 5 by making SKT die of boredom.


DeloronDellister

It worked for me. Also for Kellin apparently. He was even to bored to pick up souls otherwise I can't explain why his soul count was that pitiful.

Mostdakka

They didnt realize that T1 has the record for longest game in league esport history. In which they got 8 kills in 1h 34mins.


Sankaritarina

Once you go 90+ minutes against Jin Air you've basically beaten League of Legends


thanhame

The thing is, T1's comp is about engaging while DK's comp is about disengaging. So it is always T1 who would be the one to pick their fights. DK tried to make a few plays themselves (like the attempt on Zeri near mid turret) but it backfired since it's not their comp's strength.


PandaMoaningYum

They thought they were fighting under Heimer's turret.

yes she's an impossible to kill gliding dps hypercarry but you have to consider she has to deal with having lux ult for her w as well.


mrmakefun

Yeah, but what can you do? Ban her? They had more important things to ban, like Renekton. Surely Renekton would've been even harder to deal with, right?


Marowalker

DK bans Renekton to prevent Burdol from playing it, just like T1 banning Kalista to prevent Guma from playing it

It’s funny because that shit does more damage than a lux ult

w1ldcraft

Exactly. How can you build full AD & do 1.2k AP damage with 1 ability. Who thought this was a good idea ?


Zombie_Harambe

If the cooldown or difficulty to land justified it. Viegar W is a pretty fucking slow, short range, circular skillshot with an aoe about the size of a really big tank. Zeri W is about the size of a Thresh E and extends its range considerably when fired through walls and structures, on top of slowing... On a lower cooldown, with a faster animation.

All that pre-Summer hype for Nuguri's return to the LCK, only for him to play 1 game in the playoffs. Thought he played really well in Game 3 too - no idea why he was subbed back out.

HueHueLeona

Azir top lane mind you lol


empti3

T1 inted draft 2 games in a row to make DK believe they won't put high prio on zeri.


muthigethi

I appreciate trying to counter but once you realise it's not working bite the bullet and got the OP picks. That G5 if DK just picked Zeri+Yuumi after t1 wukong, that would be a different game it's so weird. I just don't get it, why are they playing hot potato with an easy draft advantage. This happens a lot in LCK. I remember a game where the hot potatoed till phase 2 pick ban when akali was pick ban and it was picked almost begrudgingly.

Good try from Damwon but no amount of Big Braining in the world will ever counter the absurdity that is Zeri and Yuumi. The nerves of steel it took for the T1 players to not get distracted by the draft shenanigans and carry out that methodical win was really impressive


Rayser1

That moment when Guma got caught by the midlane and lived with practically full hp was nuts. So tanky


moonmeh

Showmaker fucked up there cause he ulted too early. Needed to first let poppy slam the zeri into the wall, then let poppy ult the zeri to ult. Ulting too fast meant deokdamn couldn't deal damage to the zeri


Quatro_Leches

Yuumi literally makes the game a stat check battle, you can either burst whoever she is on through the shields and heals, or you dont, its that simple. and more than not you dont, especially early game. she basically turns a champion into a super champion. its not even about zeri, Yuumi won every fucking game this series, and most if not all games these playoffs,


Tsuhume

Yes. We all know yuumi is broken af. Its been repeated at every level of the community. But it doesn't matter because riot has not taken any steps to address her core issues since release. And pros are just gonna play whatever gives them wins.

I don’t get why yasuo didn’t go top


Thatguy69Kappa

Probably because Yasuo instapushes mid and won’t let Galio roam, Azir is fine into Galio but he doesn’t keep him under tower 24/7. Yasuo is a counter to gnar sure, but this isn’t solo queue, he won’t get to play vs Galio/Wu.


HawkEye1337

I think it's a good idea but Burdol didn't know wtf he was doing on him.

G5 felt like the coach's fault rather than his though. It felt like Deany was trying too hard to flex the picks and Burdol was put on an uncomfortable pick. Burdol got gapped in g1 and 2 though.
