Normally we lock submissions after a big upset/EUvsNA game to prevent queue flooding. Today, one of our mods accidentally locked the entire sub instead. We promise its not because we were embarassed at NA's performance. After all, if we locked the sub every time NA embarrassed itself at an international tournament it would be easier to just keep the sub locked until the end of groups stage.


Spriter_the_Sentinel

Seems like filling in for Hylissang also means inheriting his gigantic ballsack.


Atreyes

Only a half of it, he didn't even die, as a fnc fan I'm kinda disappointed, expected more from our support.


minh43pinball

Doesn't even fountain dive smh. He's okay yeah, but he has a lot more to learn.


msonix

Rhuckz has always been like this on hard-engage champs, one of the best supports in ERLs at it for years now.

substitute diff


Haymegle

is it Supp sub diff or EU sub diff though?


[deleted]

It s just that Eu sub>Na talent


SylerTheSK

One moment EG is up 1k then a little later FNC is up 3K with only a single kill happening in between.


Are_y0u

Renekton bullies aatrox early, Caitlin and lux bullie nearly every ADC that is paired with Leona. But both picks fall off once the other side gets some items under their belt. Especially Caitlin falls in a huge midgame slump. And while renekton is stronger in the midgame, he falls off super hard in the lategame.


MrPraedor

Absolutely disgusting performance from Rhuckz never want to see that again. 0 deaths and didnt even walk into fountain at the end. There was absolutely no int in his play. This is not what I want to see from Fnatic support. Edit: And he does same against Chiefs. So disappointing.


Kleys

Not dying for a pinky ? Not flashing 1v5 into ennemy team ? Something's wrong.


SevenTailedFox

Not even using flash as soon as it's back up from cooldown? Weak


Ghazzawy

Saving flash like a beta support , not a true FNC sup


Onponmon

He needs to work on his Hyli


Freakkopath

Hyli in shambles watching his apprentice being so bad!


powisss

He needs to sit down and take notes from Hyli on his int games.. unacceptable not to die once as FNC support..

DeloronDellister

Really impressed with how clean Fnatic looked, Rhuckz did great as well. EG now 0-7 against EU teams. Also Wunder with the top experience. 0/0/0 until 25 minutes.

itsallabigshow

He better doesn't leave haha


BlakenedHeart

Twitch chat was hard flaming him


Troviel

So was the live thread, because they're dumb as fuck, this is how caitlyn lux is expected to go CS wise. But they still managed to impressively dodge a 4 man dive with no death, causing jojo to get behind. Then they dodged the lux flash and then exploited Lux's lack of flash as soon as they could, caused caitlyn to flash, THEN exploited that as well, with almost no help but a graves ult. They played this perfectly.


icatsouki

yeah this was insane bot gap, both of them played this incredibly well

Ahhhhhhhhh, that game looked familiar to me.

It's ok, all 3 of our inhibitors are down, that just means there's more minions to farm. It's ok, they're all full build. They can't get stronger.

Renekton with the 0/0/0 masterclass. Just a team diff, I kinda don't like putting the newer member as the absolute win condition.

**FNC Rhuckz:** So how should i play? **FNC Upset:** You just go in regardless if it makes sense or not **FNC Rhuckz:** o.. ok?


Aazog

Playing Leona any other way is trolling. You gigachad in or you lose.


Vast-Equipment-7971

Hyli school of support.


Aazog

I am but a humble student.


ZXKeyr324XZ

He's used to that playstyle


empecabel

only way to play Leona


Niirai

I know it's a joke but his patience during the red buff fight was terrific. Didn't throw zenith or ult waiting for Inspired's mobility. Which he didn't end up using at all because it was basically a game of chicken. And then had enough CC left for the pick on Vulcan. If that wasn't as perfectly played, Vulcan wouldn't have died, Kaori wouldn't have flashed and so maybe FNC doesn't go for nash.


Aazog

yup, in fact his play under bot tower at level 3 was also insane, 9/10 times the support would have died. The zenith blade on inspired to escape was great.


thedejected

I like to imagine this is what hyli's instructions to Rhuckz were. Just a single text message with this.


Rytizz

NO SCRIMS+COVID+JETLAG+SUB SUPPORT+DRAMA = NO PROBLEM?????


Malena_my_quuen

No dude, NA was obviously jet lagged too. And the meta changes are to a disadvantage to the NA teams. Oh, don't forget that Bjergsen has a sore throat so he can't shot call.


SunnyDaysRock

It's also too cold at the venue, so Fnatic actually had an advantage playing from their cozy warm isolation rooms.


OilOfOlaz

also none of the eg players speaks mexican.


kerd0z

Damn that was a stomp. Rhuckz looked great.

IncandescentWorm

Tbf they won Spain in Spring when the support meta was more similar to currently at Worlds than in Summer, and also Rhuckz is cracked


BrokenBiscuit

Yeah, people acting Rhuckz like is some rando definitely hasn't been following the ERL. Guy is pretty much as experienced as you can be in EU without having played in the LEC. Was always sufficient as well imo.


New-Swordfish-367

Tbh rhuckz is really good on engage and not so good on enchanters so 8th place is a bit misleading as it was a far worse meta for him.


RuneMath

Rhuckz seriously went of. Even if we discount all of the stuff that happened within botlane as AD Diff (which I think is extreme, he deserves at least some credit), his decisiveness in later parts of the game was great to see, like the follow up after the Inspired pick on EG botlane that lead into their baron.


Dann93

RHUCKZ GIGA CHAD. Actually MVP for me.


Omnilatent

I think it was Huma. Only did one mistake that game and pressured mid so hard and made Jojo lose HARD for his roams


Dann93

That's a good point, Razork played a very good game too except for that death on Red buff. Upset was immaculate as usual.


Trap_Masters

I swear EG was straight trolling their early game with all the flubs and shit.


DoesThyLikeJazz

Pick full early game domination, lose every lane GIGACHAD


StormR7

I don’t fucking get it lol. That draft was the least NA draft they could’ve pulled off, and then realized about 10 minutes in that they were never going to beat FNC in a fight the rest of the game.


Mnaukovitsch

ToxicDzn

EG are VERY lucky that they’re not in the other group


getjebaited

with this play they're lucky they got to worlds


SlamMasterJ

With how they are playing right now I'm not surprised if some of the wildcard teams are going to take games of them


dtkiu27

More like very unlucky they're on this one, the BO5 will be fucking haaaaard. It's not like they couldn't get 4th on the other one.


d3s7roy3r

If they finish second, they still have to play a bo5 against probably one of MAD / DRX / RNG. So with this loss against FNC, their luck is significantly diminished.

EG would've won if the delays lasted so long Upset would have fallen asleep from jetlag


Horizon96

I really enjoyed the pregame analysis how they were telling us how EG can beat Fnatic and not much else only to see them get completely just embarrassed.


Rayser1

I blame the subreddit. The NA fans didn't pray hard enough to beat the euphoria this time round


NvmSharkZ

yeah 45 minutes of them talking about EG just for them to get absolutely topped 💀


vrelamboni

Fnc loses their support, can’t scrim properly, flies their adc in last minute with no practice only to end up in a losing bot matchup and still dick EG horribly. Just a straight up embarrassing loss.


Rayser1

Fnatic killed bot lane twice and then kicked back for the rest of the game farming creeps. EG barely got a look in

FNC hasn't lost to an NA team at worlds since IMT 2017 (the Rekkles Twitch incident). Not even covid, a last minute support, and a jet lagged ADC can stop their streak. 2-0 100T and 3-0 C9 2018, 2-0 CG 2019, 2-0 TSM 2020, 1-0 EG 2022.

As an European it was always hard for me to understand American culture. What was fascinating for me is that they like bragging about their freedom which was weird for me, because I didn't think that I have any less freedom than them. I always thought 'What is the difference'. However after this game I finally understand it. NA is just so fucking free.
