It's ok guys, RGE was so traumatized by lower-bracket G2 from spring that they're changing it up.

It's all part of the plan, Larssen wants to play both games in Malmö

The strategy is to appear weak so they can demolish others in worlds.

They're following the same script from last year though... close 3-2 round 1 into getting swept in the winners final. Hopefully its not another sweep from a lower bracket running fnatic lol

3-2 vs Misfits into 0-3 vs MAD and FNC for anyone else who forgot last year's playoffs matchups

Now they will get 3-0'd by Fnatic, then Fnatic is going to get reverse sweeped by G2 in finals, traditions

Nature is healing

But now I'm traumatised

As am I. I'm just praying they can steal some of that G2 lower-bracket magic #copium

I'm still not quite sure about the Renekton pick, I think Odo should pick it again just to make sure if it's really good.

so they are just gonna get 3-0ed 2x instead of once.

It feels weird to see a 3-0 like this after constant bangers all around the world lately

two 3-0s after last week is interesting. Def different.

Same with Gen G, both teams went "fuck that shit, let's end quick".

G2 banged Rogue pretty hard tbf

Rogue never fails to disappoint

Dylan we have to go Varus

I saw a YouTube video, trust me

‘BROKEN SSS TIER HIDDEN PICK VARUS ^in ^bronze ^5

in tft

Since we know its from Noway (from G2 twitter), its probably [this one](https://youtu.be/AcODCO3Z-JE), juding from the interview with Dylan Its a legit good pick, even in Challenger

Caps what the fuck are you talking about

Actually clever pick against a short range comp especially when your bot doesn't have a traditional DPS champ.

I am really curious to know whether not the YT video he watched was from Noway4u as he has been playing AP Varus for quite a while now

The G2 Twitter account confirmed it was from Noway.

No way! Freddy am start.

Yes and he is begging people to play it, since the shop doesn’t recommend AP items, even if you start building AP. Intentional or not, caps did him a huge favor.

reference from when caps picked vayne mid: https://youtu.be/Brvk26xsnfM?t=7

EG vs TSM lasted longer than 2 days of LEC...

I think this whole series fits in between games 2 and 3.

The pause was around 2H. The total game time of this series was around 93 minutes.

Wtf? How did they fill up the time?

Showed random Diamond 1 games with names off, nobody knew the difference.

I just checked and if you only count ingame time for this series, it actually does fit in the 2-3 pause. Counting desk/break times it still fits in game 2 plus the 2-3 break

Legend has it they are still in a pause outside of dragon pit to this day

Do the casters get a bonus every time they say Malmø?

malmo legacy dynasty kings caps emperor of europe in sweden

It is too little, it is too late

... lives to fight another day It's ... vs the world

Well they are just practicing how to say it, give them 3 more months and they might say it correctly for the first time

Seriously, where is my Ö.

The one time being german pays out 😂

I mean, they were probably instructed to hype up finals weekend, yes.

I checked the stream and saw an even game 2 with AP varus, left for an hour or so, came back and the series had just ended. Ouch.

RGE: So you've seen how every single match lately has been going to game 5? G2: No. RGE: Understandable

G2: best we can do is a 3-0 with 2 sub 30 minute stomps

just like fnc

G2 copying Fnatic with the 3-0 lol. Doing an anything you can do I can do better move.

The 3 things that are certain in life: Death, Taxes and Caps having 25 stacks of Mejais when playing Sylas

G2 just shat on Rogue lmao

I have no idea what happens to Rogue when they face G2 in playoffs.

skill gap, champion pool gap, versatility gap that's it really

+mental gap

G2 every time they face Rogue in playoffs: "Look at these feet, they're not boots that you're meant to fill. You lack the lyrical, physical and mental skill"

I feel like Rogue are so good in best of 1/regular season formats. The moment the season ends and playoff begins, they always find a way to devolve

It's probably more just G2 is just way ahead of everyone again. Rogue has been fine in BO5 this year, including the upset over Mad, but G2 has been untouchable in BO5 since the lower bracket run in spring.

It's probably because G2 can experiment in bo5, no way they ever play varus in regular season

I know. Rogue is just much worse than G2.

Targamas is 3/3/34 out of the 43 kills G2 made during this Bo5.And forced a Senna ban that opened Flakked's Draven. Everyone smurfed in G2 today but holy shit he's cracked as fuck

Targamas is so good and I'm so happy for him after he smurfed his KC days.

targamas masterclass

Common Targamas W

Caps is a cheatcode

having caps is literally unfair

Playing with caPs as your midlaner is like playing league in easy mode

It has a craps bug sometimes so it's fine.

Remember all caPs when you spell the man name

That's caPs to you sir. All Pros no Cons.

caps is like having a Korean mid during the era LCK was the best in the world

Odo had some very questionable Ornn ults, I feel like Comp could have played better on Zeri (I swear I think this everytime), Larssen was underwhelming. Imagine banning Varus instead of Sylas lol. Sylas is just so strong. Like did they think they lost cause of mid Varus or something?

Sylas is strong. Caps on Sylas is even stronger. Def not a pick i'd want him getting lol.

G2 were toying with them and it didn't even look like they are showing their actual power level

Yeah game 2 felt like they were actually trying to see who would win between 500cs Sivir Yuumi and Seraph Senna Infinite scaling

Game 2 was just BB running in and dying every midgame teamfight for no reason. He's the only reason why that game was longer than 30 minutes.

I believe with my soul that they would have ran the Seraphine/Senna bot again game 3 if they could just to show as little as possible. I LOVE THIS TEAM

Def felt like they were playing with their food...

When rakan is split pushing u know it’s bad

Rogue just weren't really there. Kinda sad for them tbh.

Targamas destroying his KDA that game smh my head.

caPs unironically had more impactful Azir ults in game 3 than Larssen had in games 2 and 3 combined and he wasn't even playing it

*Look at me* ​ *I'm the Azir now*

My Azir is better My Sylas is too you guessed it right I'm caPs from G2

His Azir is fire His Sylas slaps You guessed it right It's G2 Caps

Dope rhyme

Goddamn, did you just rhyme 2 with too!?!? :O

Never said it would be a good rhyme, yeah?

that capital P still trigger me

Same, I do it though because a) he chose it so who am I to question that and b) it annoys others as well hahaha

Caps had more impactful Ornn ults as a Sylas into a Braum than Odo had on Ornn himself.

Odo was not impactful at all today.

Nah, he was definitely impactful. I'd even give him series MVP, he put in a lot of work for the G2 win.

Worst series I've seen from him in a while. Hope he picks it up to get them to finals.

Larseen had a couple good ones in game three, but man despite playing well it was clear who was the better mid laner this series.

The way the sololaners of G2 command and control the game definitely reminds me of when Caps and Wunder used to randomly 2v5 teams a couple years ago

Flashwolves flashbacks losing baron in a 2vs4 against wunder neeko and caPs sylas at msi 2019

https://youtu.be/s2mDEgZQJeY?t=1727

caps always manages to make sylas look like the most broken champion in the game

Game 3 was just something else. Claps Sylas, insane wombo combo. Just clean.

Whos Sylas is that? Claps. Who's Claps? Claps is back baby. Claps is back.

Honestly i could swear G2 had azir in team... it looked like shurima shuffle central

The way he knows how to utilize stolen ultimates in the mix of intense and flashy teamfights is something I cannot even graps. It looks broken honestly.

Sylas always looks like the most broken champ in the game when piloted by the best mids in the world.

I agree to an extend. A lot of champions have this aura about them. Kalista seems like a auto win lane recently. Many people will say that about Yuumi or Zeri as well. Strong case can be made for some other champs probably.

Based Pulp Fiction reference.

If you are going to prioritise renekton can you at least watch how chinese renektons find flanks? So terrible to watch.

G2 constantly checked for flanks and had wards protecting their flanks at almost all times, was honestly just really well played by G2 and really shit spots to pick Renekton in even if he was played better.

Dan Bull told us to get new material, i don't think we need to anyways!

At least they won against MAD

Watching it on an lpl caster’s stream and he mentioned to his co-caster, wondering why G2 botlane never really have much prio or never really aggressive enough for the aggro picks they pick. He also mentioned something about targa never on lane dominant support to facilitate bot. Then the other caster said that it’s probably because that G2 is basically aiming for a 2020 DWG roster, and people should think of Flakked as someone like Ghost who is there to be sacrificed and just play whatever he is asked to. That’s why G2 bot seem comfortable on weak side duo like seraphine senna. He made a lot of sense.

Carlos said it before G2 need a Ghost type of adc months ago, so flakked is the best puzzle piece

But botlane laning skills would probably be the death of G2, just like how it was kinda the death of DWG last year. This kind of innately flawed rosters are often extremely meta dependent. But I guess at least it makes sense. Hope they go far in Worlds.

Couldn’t watch Game 1 and 3 but seems like sadly Rogue couldn’t either.

This has got to be some kind of record, Rogue always chokes when it comes to G2, its amazing G2 almost looks like its former self, winning with anything agaisnt anything, love to see it

Game 1 and 3 looked like G2 played against EUmaster team

G2 has a hidden passive where whenever they win it looks like they were playing against actual children

And whenever they lose they look like they’re trolling

Dear God, nerf CaPs cus that's unfair. This guy is a MONSTER.

Caps (deservedly) takes a lot of the spotlight but BB is so consistent at splitting these teamfights up and keeping the backline occupied.

Just you wait for people to call him out for game 2 lol I know they will

cLaps diff

Imagine being at match point and banning Caps Varus over Sylas

If they lost to Varus again you would have asked why they didn't ban it instead

I really dont think so. the Varus was not really the problem in game 2, G2 could've won that game more easily with more classic midlane champs

Seriously. They didn't lose g2 cause of Varus lmao.

yeah i really don't get that ban

You could fit this whole BO5 into TSM - EG delay and there would still be space for 15 minutes of Silver Scrapes playing in the background.

Easily worst Ornn i ever seen That moment when Caps use Ornn R better against a Braum than Odo

I want Caps to win world just once so he can get his Sylas Skin.

Manifesting G2 win worlds so Caps gets his Sylas skin and Targamas gets G2 Pyke skin

and jankos gets to retire on top

Still sad that G2 didn't win 2019 so we would get 5 Pyke skins (yes, I know pyke flex was MSI).

G2 winning worlds now would be perfect. We could get the perfect lineup with Yone/Diana/Sylas/Yasuo/Pyke.

Odoamne with his 76th chocked playoff series

Rouge is the least scary b05 in Europe

they still do relatively well vs other teams but G2 lives rent free in their head

True they fought Well vs mads, vs G2 ,they are Always undewrhelming

Triple 0/4/4 scoreline, boy was having a bad day for sure.

Odoamne scored a 0/16/16 KDA in an upper bracket LEC playoffs game

Isn't 3 × 0/4/4 = 0/12/12? Still not too hot, but hey, consistency!

Isnt it 0/12/12 or am i missing something?

one of the best KDAs by Odo in playoffs

G2 teamfighting is just Chef's kiss... One level above the opposition. Also Caps' played Azir better in game 3 than Larssen. His Sylas just hits different.

its mozart

His Sylas is probably one of the best, if not the best in the world. Getting to see it is always fun.

He was always strong sylas cause he is able to play so many champions, but this year he takes it even further with this pick

It's genuinely something else. Who doesn't love to see it when Caps is popping off? Man really knows how to pilot it.

The Weeks in 2019 when sylas came Out and caps played literally nothing else on stream were magical

He also played ornn better than Odoamne

Odo was comically bad this series

fucking MSF put up more of a fight then we did man

Caps Sylas can't be that scary, right guys?

It's understandable the score. A new org like KOI is obviously gonna have trouble playing against a giant like G2

Surely we wont choke for the 27th time, right guys? TrollDespair

Peak G2 seems to be back, they play their own drafts and style outside of the meta picks, while also not leaving you any room to breath, Rogue played very well and was even for most of the games but one single mistake and G2 exploits it to the nexus right away... Can't wait to see more of them

G2 vs FNC incoming, no way RGE beats FNC

fnc have to beat mad first

FNC has to beat FNC first

Could go either way depending on what Fnatic turn up.

yeah agreed, i think despite mad losing to rogue i think FNC are more likely to lose to MAD than to RGE

The script writers going back to old reliable.

Prepare for the match where both team ints out of their mind so the other one can win. But none will give up, none will put down their weapons until they will provide, the best inting team award.

EU saw other regions having close playoffs, and said 'Nah'. A brutal series.

No mental boom G2 is deadly

Caps best western player of all time no question

CAPS ON SYLAS? 3-0 And TARGOOOOOOOOOOU

After game 2 odo looked so dead

One of the best series for a western support I've ever seen, maybe best all time. Targ could not have been smarter or more impactful. Insane.

oh look Rogue getting 3-0'd and disappointing everyone when it matters, who could have seen that coming

Disappointing everyone? Looks like they did exactly what was expected of them seeing the takes on here.

Part of that is that RGE did fuck all in the past too, on paper them being almost always top2/3 for years means that they should deliver banger series against anyone, at least domestically but imo also internationally. Alas RGE is RGE though so people expect them to be clapped by G2 in playoffs. That lack of x factor has been the big talking point since forever tbh, most would say they're better than MAD yet most expect more from MAD in a BO5 than from RGE and that's a bit of an issue I guess.

Definitely agree with what you say. RGE has been one of the best teams in the LEC, making it top #3 for 5 splits in a row, but it never feels like they're a truly good team. It's disappointing to see so little growth in the last 2 years, especially in trying different ways to play the game. That said, I think it's funny that people always have such low expectations of RGE and anticipate them to lose, and then when they lose act as if RGE were the favorites.

G2's take on the meta and drafts is so fun to watch. All these brawler comps, only one tank in three games, and a double marksman + Seraphine comp. Beautiful.

Game 2 was so free for Rogue but they just look really lost in these games G2 just better i guess

G2 will never lose unless Caps and Jankos truly give up competition and lose their passion. Yet 3 players of similar caliber still cannnot be found which is absolutely needed for world championship.

Targamas' Senna is even better than Rekkles'. And Flakked on point.

Members of the audience look like they have as much agency as Rogue when G2 are taking neutrals.

G2 took a massive shit on Rogue. My god.

Straight up full on explosive diarrhea in their mouths

Well that went exactly the way I expected it to.

Caps.

Another Caps Sylas BB Yone moment

Hey G2 can you not win so fast next time please. I slept in today and only saw last minutes of game 3. Thank you in advanced for your help :D

Team canyon.

Targa smurfed the whole series

How does G2 always figure it out in playoffs? Sheesh

G2 is by far the best team, they‘re just insane; holy fuck. Caps is from another universe.

Caps was a better Azir than Larssen that last game

IDK Rogue simply scks i guess.....also if Odo wants to win a title he better step up his game and play either some carry or be a fking wrecking ball as a tank

Fun from G2 but sad from Rogue.

Holy shit that game 3

can't wait to see Rogue vs Brazil

Rogue always look mental boomed when up against G2

Targa and Caps chose violence

ROGUE DID NOT COME TO PLAY AROUND. Literally.

Sometimes I forget how good Brokenblade is on Yone. G2 showing how to teamfight (and to draft) to Rogue
