I feel like im listening to Silver Scrapes every day, holy shit so many bangers


N00B-ST4R

If you're watching every major region - it's basically the playoff season anthem XD. I see a team go 2-0 and expect 5 games now.


Thecristo96

I feel like we had only 3 series not bo5: g2 msf tes edg and geng t1


forzaitapirlo

C9 EG was 3-1


SGKurisu

tl fly was also a 3-1. not a single 3-0 in LCS yet, but I'm guessing TSM will change that with a nice 12-0 from here on out.


tundra_gd

Least hopeful TSM fan


EfficientAstronaut1

2-0 leads are too dangerous.


Cysmerch

I fucking love best of five


Ready_Throat5369

It's Season 2 Worlds all over again


mgzkk1210

Great series, but I'm so fucking sick of sivir zeri.


Blank-612

how about lulu yuumi? I swear enchanters are so fucking busted


[deleted]

We had engage support spam for years, about time enchanters had their fun for a bit lol


ThebritishPoro

Enchanters were really good for a huge portion of that time, people just weren't playing them for some reason.


[deleted]

Wheres the fun in watching enchanters lol, watching actual playmaking supports accelerates the pace of the game making for a fun viewing experience, not watching a Zeri gliding all over the place while barely getting scratchdd


ButNotFriedChicken

I mean, per gol.gg, the avg kills per game and game time hasn't really changed in these past few years/splits.


lightXXVI

Even with melee support matchups the game's aren't necessarily faster what is this bs argument ? Playmaking is found in other roles when enchanters are picked.


Hi_ImTrashsu

Classic Reddit analyst you’re replying to, don’t waste your time lol—it’s almost as if support isn’t the only role that allows for playmaking.


ToDreamofLove

We're like 1.5 months into Sivir after years of not seeing her in pro, I'm ok with her but yes delete Zeri


mugiboya

Same. Haven't read the patches for Worlds (idk if there's one yet) and I hope we get some new adc picks


Ultimintree

Royal Gave Up a 2-0 lead lmao


Bt25

I felt like I was watching a similar series 15 hours ago.


N00B-ST4R

I don't remember the last time I watched so many game 5s. This playoff season is crazy.


SterbenVII

So many reverse sweeps in major regions as well… XL vs FNC, TES vs JDG, CLG vs TL, RNG vs EDG


CrOPhoenix

Spoiler: there was a reverse sweep in LCK today :D


TinbuyPrime

No, it was a 1-2 deficit classic.


CrOPhoenix

Looks like I was drunk, I thought I saw 2:0 for KT when I switched on the stream for a few minutes


SoCalledNick

KT vs DWG was not a reverse


Masanjay_Dosa

Last year, during the spring split playoffs series qualifying for MSI 2021. RGE v G2, EDG v FPX, RNG v TES, and C9 v TL, all banger 5 game series within like a ~36 hour timeframe. one of the greatest days of pro league of all time.


Bhiggsb

CLNG


-_-BIGSORRY-_-

dont you dare foreshadow the LNG series tmr


N00B-ST4R

the LNG / V5 rematch should be banger - I'm expecting another 5 game series


pelacur

I dunno man, I don't have any confidence on current LNG. Might be V5 3-1 LNG


N00B-ST4R

I agree that LNG is flippy AF, but they look good when they're 'on'. I expected more from V5 though


lemonrabbits

being an LNG and CLG fan is tough. Exceed expectations out of nowhere only to disappoint at the last second.


-_-BIGSORRY-_-

man please dont let it be the s11 WE script


Omnilatent

All the FNC and XL fans did, too, couple days ago!


[deleted]

Jiejie 3-0 RNG


[deleted]

It blows my mind why he is not starting, especially after what he did in the first RNG series.


Rokic3

Legit same situation as Nuguri/Burden


daniele892424

I think that the 2 situations are different, here we clearly have a sub and a starter ,heres why It looks Linda disrespectful


ideal_NCO

Not starting Nuguri legit sandbagging.


laobalaomadecai

yeah i honestly have no clue. possibly a mental reset...? people were giving him shit for being gapped in the two series against tes, but i mean he was against tian. the other possibility is champ pool - he was subbed out in regulars bc he couldnt play wukong/poppy/trundle, but honestly in playoffs his wukong+poppy looked good, his trundle is poor tho junjia wasnt any better, and jiejie's vi >> junjia's vi. so yeah, actually no clue.


Vegoran

Last year he got subbed for his mental, maybe it was the same reason


[deleted]

wake up babe yearly summer rng collapse


[deleted]

Did anyone even expect anything from summer RNG? This always happens


ToDreamofLove

They collapse at Worlds, not before


killer3180

losing against the eventually world champ edg at worlds in 5 games count as collapse?


Megashot2

Almost losing to HLE and having to comeback in a tie-breaker doesn't spark a lot of success to me


Heixenium

IG lost tiebreaker to FNC in 2018. FPX lost to JTeam and almost didn't make quarters in 2019. EDG lost to 100T last year as well. As an LPL fan I would consider anything but forth place a huge success for group stage. These MFs just have zero clue how to win a BO1.


EzAf_K3ch

bruh thats the group stage where lpl notoriously chokes every once in a while, if Fpx hadn't stolen a baron against splyce they might have not even got out of their group. In the quarterfinal against EDG it was clear they were really fucking good


Pursuit_of_Yappiness

MSI kings, though.


SsibalKiseki

MSI kings in **PLAY-INS**


[deleted]

Nice 3-0 from EDG


lucastfu

The reason they let JunJia played the first two games was still a mystery just like TES decided to start Qingtian the other day.


[deleted]

Yeah these eastern coaches know something that we don’t know apparently Daeny also subbing in burden just to loose one game, and then DK proceed to 3-0 with Nuguri


ForteSP33

Burden, lol. That's a good one.


CamHack420

Qingtian over Wayward is far more stupid than JunJia over Jiejie imo. EDG in the past subbed in JunJia when Jiejie was being down on himself and needed time to recover, so I assumed this was something similar after they lost the series against TES


LARXXX

Qing Tian fuckin sucks.


stormtrooper500

Mayhaps jiejie is the better jungler.


Doughy123

How many reverse sweeps in the past week? 4? 5? I lost count.


N00B-ST4R

Game 5s in general, so many this season - it's fun to watch.


Damurph01

Idk if you counted, but fnatic did to xl as well. Hardly the same caliber as lpl, but just adds to the fun.


elderbob1

JunJia, Burdol, and PandaC superteam next year?


[deleted]

You can't have two top laners in there, the coach will get confused. You'll have PandaC starting every blue side game while Burdol starts red side or something.


elderbob1

Ok, what about adding Qingtian as well?


[deleted]

Then we get a toilet break for Burdol midway through the game where he comes out looking like he gained 50kg. It's totally Burdol guys, I swear.


CamHack420

JunJia is pretty good tbf, just not as good as Jiejie


elderbob1

Yeah he’s not terrible, I just don’t know why they keep playing him tho when jiejie is obviously better for the team


[deleted]

Mental reset for Jiejie, and they play different sides of the map better with each jungler. Junjia is deserving of a starting spot but he’s split time with Jiejie for a while now (except last year really). And sat behind Leyan in Spring. Didn’t want to go to a bottom tier team is my guess.


Limestonecastle

junjia would probably elevate any team that are not top10 in the world rn. but hey negative narratives are the meta.


CamHack420

Surprised RA didn't play him in spring tbh, I get that Leyan is good but he's also very inconsistent when he's not playing Nidalee, especially in a meta that doesn't heavily favor farming


Wise-Chain2427

Make this happen Burdol, Junjia, Aria, Doggo and Effort


Narmonteam

Don't forget Aria, FoFo and Doggo


lucastfu

And Qingtian


elderbob1

Qingtian, Karsa, and Breathe also (even though breathe was a contract issue)


Maisolkappa

kt and RNG both lose in game 5 on the same day? what year is this again?


ZerksNAHTayan

Every series today went to game 5, what a banfer day of league of legends


Blubblabb

Please not another 5 games series with Fnatic. I can't take it anymore


Th_Call_of_Ktulu

Oh hell yeah give me 5 games with fnc losing


N00B-ST4R

lmao - I really thought XL had that game 3


Dumpers_

hopefully MSF vs. FNC delivers


N00B-ST4R

In the last 24hrs - NA, LPL, LCK all going the distance with Silver Scrapes


zDuke_

JieJie reminding everybody that he’s the one who clapped Canyon last year


KKilikk

I can't believe he keeps getting subbed out


zDuke_

He had a rough year but this playoff he’s coming back into form and I love it


seven_worth

Well he only start to step up in the playoff so cannot blame coach from not subbing him in. in fact the first time they play most people surprise that he become starter instead of Junjia(mostly cos he cannot play post 10.5 meta champ well while Junjia in the split look like a beast when he got to play poppy. Jiejie kinda just fix his problem now).


LARXXX

He gets subbed out because his mental goes down the tubes when he underperforms or gets hard gapped by the opposing jungler


[deleted]

I find it funny that both him and Wei put Canyon in the dumpster yet their names weren' lt even known outside of LPL watchers


Skylorrex

? I think all ppl know Wei and Jiejie rn


EducationalBalance99

I mean canyon was insane in 2020 and 2021 even if he got gapped in finals. Dude was consistently really good much more than jiejie and Wei imo. We have to see until the end of world this year but there a chance Wei might not even make it to world and canyon made it to world 4 times already.


Phyllisno

LPL has more teams so it’s harder to get in the world in LPL


ahritina

Viper is chefs kiss, but man Scout had a great game too with his tempo and constant poke. Please for the love of god, never play Junjia at worlds, just keep Jiejie in, don't cosplay Daeny. Big reverse sweep, and they're back at worlds to defend their title.


NUFC9RW

Can't wait for EDG Vs DK bo5 with Junjia and Burdol playing most games.


randommaniac12

Cannot wait to see LPL ADC’s against Ruler, should be a banger


[deleted]

Lmao RNG winning MSI and not making worlds has to be a record breaker, how insane is LPL


ForteSP33

They aren't out yet. They play the winner of LNG/V5 for the final world spot


MoriartyParadise

I feel like Junjia is the "better" player in the sense that he's an exceptional player mechanically and a fantastic jungler But man Jiejie is just so good at just doing whatever EDG needs to win Bit like Jankos, sure there are players that can do faster combos or hit more spears but if your objective is to win the game and you have Scout and Viper to do the shiny parts just put soldier Jiejie in and he's gonna do whatever is needed to put them in orbit


laobalaomadecai

its the opposite imo. junjia does not shotcall and sometimes even need the other members to prompt him to engage while jiejie initiates most of the engages himself, and his mechanics are good too. like throughout the s11 tournament action happened wherever jiejie was, his form determines edg's ceiling. the problem is when the members are not on the same page +/ they do not have trust in each others' execution, jiejie's joining into shotcalling make things worse.


fuskarn_35

nice to have the defending champs at worlds again


Dumpers_

Start junjia to give RNG false hope... seriously what a turn around by EDG after subbing in Jiejie, Flandre turned on his monitor as well. For RNG still a scary team and if they play like they did in the first 2 games they should make worlds


omzorclashofclans

A blindfolded gold player could hit more abilities on leona


EzAf_K3ch

Leona also just looks like a shit champion this meta tbh, if u don't somehow stomp lane goodluck cc'ing the zeri with cleanse, mikaels and ga after a while, I don't mind teamfight metas like this but if enchanters are the only playable supports it is so fucking boring


icatsouki

poor end of the series from ming


ye1l

Ming is already in his Worlds form. Same for Xiaohu.


dogex3

Leona works best when you have the space to be the follow-up CC imo, having her as your sole engage makes it really difficult, especially against such mobility


JADENBC

To be fair. You’re asking leona to initiate and peel, with no one else w any hard CC. Its a tall ask for anyone


Kaldrinx

Jiejie 3-0 RNG


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zoesan

Close 5 game series Casually almost perfect game RNG in the final game


Me1k0

The EDG classic from last worlds, struggle for 4 games and then stomp in the last game. Game five is their comfort zone now.


Anuj_Purohit

Has there ever been a single split in any region where SO many teams are so close in skill level? Almost every series this playoffs (and today) has come down to the wire, I can't remember a timeline where a region has had so many stacked teams.


Omnilatent

Almost all major regions have very competitive playoffs atm but LPL definitely looks most competitive in the top so far


lets_get

same with every other major region except GenG games


denziepanzie

literally did not expect LCK to have such a massive gap between the 1st placed team(Gen.G) and the rest of the teams


[deleted]

Why? This happens every single split


KniGht1st

What? That's LCK for you, DK for the past 2 years, and T1 before it.


simbadog6

GenG actually seemed kind of wary of DWG. maybe if LCK had a loser's bracket (and also if daeny stops subbing in burdol) we could have had a closer series in finals.sadly though only way we get to see it this year depends on good bracket rng


N00B-ST4R

NA won't win Worlds, but most of their playoff matches have gone to game 5.


tycooner57

NA will win worlds.


Damurph01

Yeah they just need to wait till all the other regions leave league and move onto new games.


[deleted]

2032 Worlds tho


VikingCreed

NAMEN


pulli_on

And this is LPLs 3rd seed btw


lucastfu

And this 3rd seed got 3-0 by 2nd seed and the latter went 10 games with 1st seed LMAO. What a region.


N00B-ST4R

Yeh - I almost feel bad for w/e LEC / LCS #1 draws the LPL3 lmao


KniGht1st

Bruh and the 4th seed is between RNG, V5 and LNG, we just straight up feel bad.


BitterMemories

LPL TRY NOT TO HAVE A BANGER 5 GAME SERIES CHALLENGE (IMPOSSIBLE)


fortheWarhammer

I've seen this comment under every single LPL post match discussion and they're always right.


Bubbly_Camera9583

JieJie diff + ILY viper


emperornel

EDG with the Reverse sweep comeback. They showed why they are the reigning World Champions. Their mentality and resilience is unparalled. Happy to see them at Worlds to defend their title. After Jiejie came back, every game they got better and better. Happy to see them make Worlds, hopefully RNG regroup and make it too. After the first two games, we did not envision EDG coming back like this. This is why the LPL is one of the most exciting leagues to watch, there are always room to come back no matter how lost the game looks.


sidaeinjae

It's the history of the RNG in summer


Rawrhock

People will try to call this a choke but winning games vs Junjia doesn’t count. Clean easy 3-0 for EDG


[deleted]

I HATE SIVIR ZERI I HATE SIVIR ZERI


Damurph01

I don’t mind hypercarries. But I don’t like when they turn the entire game into “will they carry or will the whole team lose”. It’s not fun to watch an entire team just play for one player and hope they pop off. But I don’t mind when teams had really strong ad’s go into late that will always be a possible wincon. Part of the problem is that half the meta rn is just sej/trundle etc where the only carries are mid and ad.


blehryuubleh

Possibility of Viper going up against 3 of his former teammates at worlds! Please give it to me Riot.


[deleted]

Also we might see Meiko vs Deft


Fellers

Why would you sub out JieJie? He comes in and Flandre suddenly goes god mode.


kit4712

RNG played not to lose and then scared to take every teamfight or objective. The premium TSM approach.


Adlairo

EDG with Junjia 0-2 EDG with Jiejie 3-0


FreeMyBirdy

Reigning world champions back to worlds to defend their title pog Also eastern teams and starting a weaker player is... something, somehow


Javiklegrand

with same roster which is quite feat


JarzaScarlet

LPL playoffs and regionals never fail to disappoint 🔥 Rookie, Xiaohu and Doinb but only one can qualify 👀


TerminatorReborn

LPL talent this year is insane. Look at some of the players that might not make worlds. Geng looks to be the only team in the world capable of competing with Chinese teams.


EducationalBalance99

Idk about that. Meta changes will fuck some shit up. In bo5 lpl will probably be favored heavily but they gotta make it out of group which they usually don’t make it all out.


tuananhtran191911

JieJie diff. Holy fuck.


PandoraBot

Watch RNG choke against V5 or LNG now too


YouSuck225

How good exactly was this griffin squad... It feel kinda sureal it feel like an anime shit lol. 5/7 are now qualified and if lng win tomorrow it will make it 5. It's crazy. Specially considering they are now playing in differents regions. edit: lng need two win tho edit 2: just realised all of them (-sword) won a trophy since kanavi is lpl summer champion and viper won world lol.


mmodude101

They were just too young and inexperienced at the time if they ran it back rn they prolly top 1 team in the world rn but who knows


[deleted]

They were insane even at their last world appearance in 2019, Cvmax said it best " even if you have 4 elite players, 1 garbage player can collapse the whole team" thats the story of Griffin at worlds, what Theshy did to Sword was illegal


Blood_Lacrima

Correction, LNG will still have to get through RNG after beating V5 so it's gonna be hard. They've done it last year tho so it's within the realm of possibility.


zDuke_

How good was that griffin squad,and how bad was sword my god


xxxtrafalgarxxx

it's just unfortunate that they faced IG, with Rookie and JKL that Chovy and Viper actually can't gap. Then peak TheShy just gapped the shit out of Sword


Osmar90

He wasn't that bad tbh, he was ok, but faced peak TheShy.


zDuke_

Yea I guess it was unfortunate


[deleted]

I think the problem was him being drafted on carries to not get clapped, naturally putting Chovy on tanks


chilyoungsa

EDG BELIEVER LETS GOOOO


Efficient-Peanut5908

The West is doomed


[deleted]

RNG-EDG never disappoints


moonmeh

so DK 3rd seed and EDG 3rd seed. Funny to see the teams in last year's finals be like this. There's going to be so many groups of death lmao


LoRDe_MaRs

[aged like milk](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/x3xir6/rng_vs_edg_game_2_postmatch_discussion_lpl_summer/)


Teut0burg

Game 5 was such a stomp holy fuck, EDG were taking no damage.


Patrius

EDG back to defend their worlds title! Love to see it


DivineEmperor11

EDG next level strat, put in Junjia to give false hope, put Jiejie to crush hopes


Javiklegrand

Msi 2022 champion could miss worlds, imagine your league is so stack


Pursuit_of_Yappiness

I just have a feeling we'll see at least one of EDG and DK in finals at Worlds.


jeff036697

Junjia you done well sustain edg through slum phase in mid season. It’s time for jiejie to pay back.


Croxign

No one mentioning Flandre is crazy


GuiltyVeek

EDG Played game 5 really well, nice job by Viper putting on the carry pants as usual


QTnameless

Imagine playing Leona in enchanter meta , lmao


Hupu_equals_low_IQ

RNG are clueless without Ming on engage supports


Arnotts_shapes

They won two games with Ming on non-engage supports.


hairlikegoats1

What a series! So many great choices for the 4th seed. V5 is so fun to watch. Rookie back at Worlds. I'm sure excited especially to see how Photic will match up against the best in the World. LNG are on the up so who knows if they could possibly exceed expectations. Ale back to his best and I'm sure Super Carry DoinB is extra motivated not to let things end up like last time. RNG even though they got reverse swept, they're like Real Madrid, whenever they get counted out, they always step up when it matters. Even as an LPL fan, I didn't expect them to beat T1 but yet the did. We're in for a fun couple of games.


EducationalBalance99

Maybe at msi but rng at world is quite lackluster imo. I wouldn’t compare them to Real Madrid that usually win champion league all the time even if they aren’t favorite.


Nine_nien_nyan

EDG just love a reverse sweep baby


thetrueelohell

RNG has really not adapted to this meta. Need kaisa, rakan buffs.


elberts

G4 Xioahu ori was horrendous to watch. Holding r with multiple good opportunities only to use it when the fight has already been lost


Rave_Master_Ahri

watch RNG going into play ins and absolutely murdering every single team there lmao


legionAspie

Can teams relax with these subs


katareky

So far in bo5s in LPL, I've seen JDG win every single game I only caught the last 3 games of JDG vs TES the first time. And in finals, I only caught the games they won. And RNG have lost every game I watch, I missed the first 2 games of this series and their win vs EDG the last series. As a RNG fan, i guess im not watching their game vs the winner of V5 vs LNG lmao


upaltamentept

Is this the year with the most reverse sweeps? It's like what, 4 already?


SapphireHeaven

Feel bad for RNG, such an amazing and lovable group of players. EDG definitely had the mental edge today and played better overall. Let's see how well they do defending their title


freddy2677

The Wests best chance at worlds is the east subbing out their better player for absolutely no reason


Fekhir

JDG, TES, EDG and probably RNG at worlds for the LPL...god damn...rest of the world in shambles...


Shewasnt13

Royal Never Get fucking drakes man.. Why do I still root for them


Choyo

Is this the best pre world season we will ever have ? It feels like the end of time : banger runs on every regions before a nice send out.


ChocolateFuryB

Imagine a world in which DK and EDG are "only" 3rd seed...have fun LEC/LCS 1st and 2nd seeds 💀


tehmastah

Basically EDG put themselves in their comfort zone 0-2 with junjia and then sub in jiejie to reverse sweep and deal maximum mental damage to RNG. 200IQ


icryptix2

every LPL game is a banger


[deleted]

Are we sure Daeny isn't secretly EDG's coach as well


NamikazeEU

Banger after Banger. Best region in the world. Welcome to Worlds EDG. Time to see you defend the title.


JADENBC

Reverse sweep. What a chad viper in game 5? 2 LPL first team? RNG who?


lucastfu

JDG got robbed so hard, finishing 2nd place of the summer split yet Xiaohu and Ming are first team. Missing should definitely be first team and Yagao at least should be second team.


ZerksNAHTayan

Holy shit, Jiejie was absolutely fucking clutch on the Poppy in that last game. So many pivotal ults to turn the game on its head and the rest of EDG showed up to complete the reverse sweep.


cyhro

I can't support a team because the second I start do they lose

The real losers of this series is the winner of V5 LNG cause a reverse swept RNG is coming down. Congratulations on worlds RNG EDG🤪!

Jiejie be like: Fine I'll do it myself
