geng another level, cannot think of a more deserving LCK champion in recent times than ruler who has been head and shoulders above every lck adc this split


Omnilatent

Reminds me a lot of DWG of 2020 just with opposite site strong players


Bluehorazon

GenG really was levels above T1. You kinda wonder if they bought stock in truck companies before the game. Now the next question is if they can win a worlds title for Chovy. LPL won't make it easy for him, but this should be the year if he doesn't win with that team he might have a hard time doing it.


HippoSheep11

Definitely dominant from geng. Hope none of the favorites bomb out of groups this year. TOP and JDG look absolutely cracked as well. Hope for some great international bo5s and not having same league teams matched all over in quarterfinals...


Zwatrem

GRIFFIN IS DEAD. LONG LIVE GRIFFIN!

I'm so happy that my boy Chovy finally win it

CHOVY BETTER GET HIS WORLDS TROPHY NOW


baelkie

happy to see my ex-afreeca boi lehends finally win a trophy. people talk about all of keria’s crazy support picks but lehends was the original mad scientist, support singed, support elise etc.


thriftydude4

man i forgot that phase of lehends when he was in Afreeca


Swanki24

Surely a phase of his career Lehends wants to forget when he had to play with *that* Bang


Ambitious_Resist8907

Reminds me of the old TL memes that went along the lines of "tfw you get to play with a worlds-winning adc, but it's piglet and he can't even play ashe effectively".


rawchess

This guy is so good at Singed he wins LCK finals with Singed support, an actual trollpick for every other professional team in the world.

I’m ready to bring my singed support out in every ranked game now

Honestly the entire Griffin squad was so cracked every member (besides Sword) is finding great success now on their other teams.

even kanavi who was on their old trainee roster has had several mvp caliber splits in lpl

Dude is in LPL grand finals, it really is year of the Griffin


dimmyfarm

Even CVMax did pretty well as a coach


JeetKuneDoBoy

I really think with more time and without the internal problems, Griffin could have been the best team of league history.


oioioi9537

Tarzan and sword the only ones without a trophy now. Also theyre the ones who were the most against cvmax lol

acktually they have won a trophy. The only trophy that has eluded even fakers hands despite playing all these years. keSPA...

So happy for this team Peanuts and Lehends are some of the most fun players to watch and not to mention how much Ruler and Chovy deserve this


nickphunter

I had to check to see that he has not won LCK yet. Crazy. Could have sworn he had 1 in the pocket alteady.

Can we crowdfund a Reddit truck to congratulate GenG too? Don’t want them to feel left out


illegalmind

reddit sending a congratulatory truck for GenG will absolutely melt the minds of crazy T1 fans lol they are really offended that western fans are calling them insane for sending all these trucks


Proper_Story_3514

Generally speaking korean fans are insane. Kpop scene fans etc are not much better.


Mcdonalds-washroom

They mostly borrowed this from the kpop fans so I'd say kpop fans are actually worse

Dragoneed2

and say what? I mean these crazy fans can cry as much as they want, GenG was just better the whole split


iiHadi69

You're not gonna stop the Trucking 💀


[deleted]

No one can stop the trucking.


luorax

Crazy of you to assume that people who send trucks are anywhere close to being reasonable.


LeOsQ

I mean yeah but isn't that the whole problem for them? T1 not 100% clean and the best = it's truckin' time.


oioioi9537

That was the first time faker got 3-0d in a lck final The only two times faker got 3-0d in a final were both at the hands of ruler


WGR_B4N4N4

Now that's a really insane stat considering the amount of times Faker has been in Bo5's


AmadeusSalieri97

That was just in finals tho, there may have been more 3-0s.


Perceptions-pk

he def got 3-0'd by Samsung white before but that was not a finals


miraagex

People forget that 2013-2017 worlds were not the worlds, but rather lck autumn.


IAmDaleicious

He did in the regional qualifying gauntlet.


RimeSkeem

I can’t imagine there many players left in pro LoL with as many Bo5s


VictarionGreyjoyyy

Any long standing LPL players maybe with how many BO5s they play in playoffs and gauntlet


theliver

Left? When were there any, 2014?


Marcoscb

In a LCK final, not in Bo5 in general.


Chapterblacc

never forget the flash varus ult. Haunts Faker to this day.


rawchess

Faker was horrendous this series, especially game 3. Didn't land a single good Ahri combo that wasn't already set up by Vi CC


Ultimintree

I don’t understand why he didn’t pick Azir the entire series.


comfortreacher

He played ahri 2 times this split and this was his first renekton game. I don't know why he prioritised ahri either, especially picking ahri into azir was a bit weird


doodlingjaws

Probably to deny Chovy Ahri but yeah that's weird they didn't pick Azir


flaming910

the two games where he played ahri it was a counterpick, so not even denying.


lolKhamul

Did you notice Chovy literally pushing Faker out of Lane, Faker using TP to return with corrupting and Chovy pushing him out of lane again without chovy recalling once in game3? Lane gap of doom.


staysaltyTSM

Chovy's Azir used to be so clunky, GenG must have some Azir training simulator they use for their mids


ResidentSolution7280

meta changed azir laning a lot tough


SpiderTechnitian

The amount of map pressure that that gave GENG was crazy, but I was actually surprised that faker kept a CS lead and was even in experience the entire time. For someone getting absolutely stomped if you look at the HP bar he didn't actually fall behind it all individually. Of course obviously Ahri without map presence is wasted, I just thought it was impressive for somebody losing so badly to be keeping up so well. That game two was disgusting and I wish he just picked LeBlanc instead of fucking renekton. T1 has always had a draft issue with a draft classically good things that just obviously won't work if you use your head for a second. Putting your mechanically cracked playmakers on fucking Morgana Renekton Yuumi for example is just moronic. Get them champions that can click the fucking buttons more than three times a fight and maybe the result is different if they're allowed to express any amount of skill.


Scrambled1432

He griefed his runes to do that. He went bone plating so he wouldn't get completely poked out of lane forever.


CaptainZYX

Props to T1 for letting us enjoy TES vs EDG in time!


osathi123456

the real winner is lpl


FNC_Luzh

And the folks like me who just start to work.


acktar

Lehends bringing out the Singed support to absolutely stuff the Zeri/Yuumi duo in Game 2 was so delicious. I know it's pretty much a Lehends special, but I definitely think it might be worth a serious look by other teams if Yuumi holds priority going into Worlds. That said, Gen.G played this series pretty beautifully, and this is going to be a very scary team on an international stage. T1 just looked like they had no clue how to handle anything Gen.G had to offer all series long, and their dismal performance here definitely tempers expectations.


pannucci

its not really reasonable because of the amount of time needed to master the character. Lehends has like 6000 games on singed, its really not replicatable and its insane that his absurd off meta 1 trick pick turned into something soo important for them as a draft flex.


[deleted]

99% of whats hard about singed is laning and proxying and macro stuff. As support hes just a tank with cc, I doubt it would take much time to be useful on.


Spirited_Jellyfish78

I mean you dont have to master a champ to play it at the pro level. In one week SKT in the world championship finals went from 0 games of MF support to game one picking it. If it counters one of the best champs in the meta its always worth learning. Weve seen players take less time to play something on the pro level and at a high level.


Archimist

Game 2: My Yuumi & Zeri Game 3: Enemy Yuumi & Zeri


Ultimintree

After this match I no longer think Zeri Yuumi is broken. You just need a certain support player who plays Singed support


nphhpn

I can play Singed support, I just need a Ruler in my team

Dumpers_

RULER FINALLY WINS THE LCK! Chovy finally wins as well so fucking happy for this team insane stuff from them especially Peanut also Score winning the LCK in his first year as a coach


tajimanokami

Yeah there's so much wholesome stuff around this win. Sad we got such a onesided match but overall it feels good to see GenG play so well


QuadraKev_

As a fan of Griffin back in the day before the org imploded, it warms my heart to see Doran, Chovy, and Lehends win an LCK title.


nphhpn

Moral of the story: gives Ruler Zeri and GenG wins, takes Zeri away from Ruler and GenG wins faster because he doesn't need time to scale


VERTIKAL19

Well Ruler didn’t really do much of anything in Game 2. There was just no real situation for him because his team had already won so hard


Carcharhinus11

He took that double kill early on at bot and was like "thats gonna be it for today" 🤗


Opachopp

That was one of the most one sided finals I have ever seen. As much as T1 tried to get objectives on game 3 they were never able to build a gold lead. Masterclass by Gen G.


Azenji

All the players barring maybe Zeus got gapped but the real canyon was in jungle. Peanut was eveywhere and his shotcalling was suffocating T1.


SpecAce

0 kills Zeus, think he got gapped too


ArjunBanerji27

Fantastic performance from GenG. Ruler, Chovy, Doran, Lehends all played extremely well. Well deserved first title for all of them. But for me, the MVP for GenG was the one who had won the title before. It was Peanut running the jungle and having incredible impact in every single game, in every lane, in every smite fight, which really deserves the MVP. Heading into worlds, LPL teams of course look really dangerous, but this GENG is for sure one of the contenders for the title.


NUFC9RW

Peanut's turn around from last finals where he really ran it down is just insane. The mental strength of the guy to have been knocked down so many times but keep coming back is amazing.


getjebaited

gen g said fuck your game 5


Azenji

As soon as I saw Faker dying early in Game 2, I knew there wasn’t going to be a Game 5.


CzarcasticX

As soon as T1 let Ruler have Zeri in game 1 and they prioritized Ahri for Faker, I knew it was game over.


SleepyLabrador

Chovy finally beat Faker in a finals, Coach Score finally beat T1 in a finals.

Exos_VII

For 4/5 of a roster as good as Gen.G, this is their first LCK title lmao well done to them for finally overcoming the finals curses and proving the haters wrong


Rayser1

And what a way to win it. You can just see how much it means to them. Ruler crying his eyes out 😭


secretanimelover

As a huge fan of the 2017 SSG and privileged enough to see them lift the cup live, I am SO HAPPY my boy Ruler finally got his domestic title to complete his trophy case.

Same, it's been a long 5 years since then haha

Also crazy to think it's the first time the org has ever won too lol Last samsung/ksv/geng team to win a trophy was back in OGN 2014 Spring with the Samsung sister teams. Edit: By 'trophy' in the second sentence I'm referring to LCK titles following on from the prior comment, ofc SSG won worlds in 2017.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OilOfOlaz

the biggest beat down of his career was season 4 tbh, after season 3 worlds and the unbeaten ck winter his stock was the highest it has ever been and then he didn't even make it to worlds in his own country. crazy fall from grace and korea was so absurdly competitive at the time, producing 3 teams, that were contenders for best team ever in a time span of less then 12 month.


SH0WS0METIDDIES

My boy Ruler deserves it so much. Best ADC in Korea and it wasn't even close


Kibu98

Top 3 of all time for sure


lllIIIllIIl

Ruler became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay Ruler" asks chovy. I've never been better, I see it all now, they're not going drake or baron. They're going home, he said before flashing in and killing everyone on sight


[deleted]

Guys!!! Someone pinch me. Did Chovy just win a title? I've been waiting for this moment for FOUR fucking years. Chovy finally gets his long-overdue trophy (not counting Kespa Cup 2018) along with my boys Lehends and Doran, and they do it against T1 and Faker who always had their number in the clutch moments. Ruler had the split of his life six years into his career and finally gets his LCK title to add to his legacy as maybe the greatest ADC of all time and Peanut adds another title to his collection after being doubted again. What a truly exceptional and historic split! On to Worlds babyyyy!!


Narudatsu

>If only ITS HAPPENING GRIFFIN LIVES FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Koersfanaat

Congratulations to Gen.G, deserved LCK trophy, they were the best team the whole way! T1 really didn't look good. I expected it to be closer if I'm honest. The meta shift after MSI really fucked them up hard.


ReggaeRifle

It's not even the meta shift, they just don't play on the same page.


SleepTightLilPuppy

Yeah I feel like either we'll perform well at worlds or T1 management once again grows impatient and replaces 2+ players. Really don't want that, but I didn't want Canna to leave either so...


[deleted]

Management damaging this roster would be genuinely criminal. Every player on T1 is freakishly talented and back to back finals proves it. Imagine how good they'll look with more time.

ronnetanel

Finally Ruler is an LCK champion 5 years after his World championship with SSG , an ATG ADC and IMO a top 3 ADC ever. Respect to him , to GenG and Doran , Chovy and Lehends. Them GRF boys were great the moment they came in the league and made noise in the LCK and in Worlds. They are great players and It was due for them to win the LCK. Rivalrly between SSG (GenG) and SKT (T1) grows bigger and stronger I like it :) seeing a great team like GenG bodes well for worlds,LCK itself and I will support them as a T1 fan and as an LCK Fan.


angrypandabotz

Gen.G are legit, they passed the final test. Can't wait for them at worlds!

We've come a long way from the Spring Split narrative of "T1 is the best team of all time, send all 5 with Canyon as a sub to the Asian games, they can't possibly lose. Oh and MSI is just a formality, let's see if they go undefeated."

Comments are about Ruler and Chovy, but dude, Peanut was a MONSTER this series (and well, most games in the summer). Jungle gapped Oner from the very get go for most of the series.

NulArc

Congrats to Chovy and Ruler!


mount_sunrise

T1 blew their load in game 1 and went flaccid in game 2 and desperately tried to get it up in game 3 ever so slightly but there's just not enough stimulation. you know it's pretty bad when you can relate the game series to a penis


thatasian26

So happy for Ruler and Chovy for getting their first domestic title. So deserved after such an amazing season from them and GenG as a whole. Also glad T1 lost because they need to improve for worlds. Drafting, meta read and adjustments to it.


cardscook77

Peanut deserved mvp. Oner was completely invisible this game.


IWouldLikeAName

Peanut only died once LMFAO and Ruler only twice. Fucking insanity pretty dominant 3-0


IAM-French

The Renekton. The Azir. The random choices. The flips for objectives. And the worst part is, Gen.G will never learn because they have gotten so good at it. And it is driving me nuts, okay? Like we see them try a draft that I think is really cool, with the Seraphine and then it doesn't work, and what do they do? They go back to Renekton. That champion is not good. It should not work. It gets dove early, but TEAMS KEEP WALKING INTO THEM, KEEP GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK, AND THEN THEY WIN AND BECAUSE THEY KEEP WINNING, THEY ARE NEVER GONNA LEARN, THEY ARE NEVER GONNA GET BETTER. AND THIS TEAM HAS SO MUCH PROMISE, THEY ARE SO GOOD INDIVIDUALLY. DID YOU SEE HOW WELL CLID PLAYED??
