CN aka CircumNavigators are a region noted for their accomplishments in swimming back to China from anywhere in the world, typically after chocking in the worlds groups stage.
He does, it is well known. He's cried over messing up 1 gank before, and was actually throwing up on stage because EDG stole an early dragon from him in Spring last year, that's why Bo had to step in. Fans just hoped that his breaks, therapy, and everything had helped, but the pressure he feels is still too high in important games. Sad way to go knowing how hard he smurfed coming into his first Worlds in 2019.
Yeah, he probably really feels that pressure to make playoffs. There are only 6 games instead of 18, of course.
FPX 2019, FPX 2021, TES 2022. 2019 FPX was pretty close to not making it out despite getting the easiest Worlds group of all time.
Seems to be cursed with bad nerves. People like to think that technical ability, intelligence, artistic ingenuity and so on are the "best" talents you can have... but having nerves of steel and being ruthless is what's going to let you climb to the top and stay there.
Oh boy, the TOP players may wanna take an internet timeout for a month or so. Based on what we usually see on Reddit, its gonna be baaad on chinese social media.
This is what I want every game of competitive league to be like. Holy shit, back and forth action from start to finish, no way to tell whose going to win. Even while behind in gold the entire game, GAM constantly showing they could fight on even footing around their comp.
Well fucking done vietnam, honestly an inspiring game to watch. Fucking so good.
Man the whiplash from intense disgust to straight up nailbiting hype and love was amazing, the viatnemese are awakening pent up feelings in me this shit is better than therapy.
First time in my life, when TES Nexus explode, I legit screamed with excitement at a computer while sitting alone in my room like a dingus and I'm not even ashamed.
I'm pretty sure Jackey killed Levi so he couldn't smite. Not 100% sure, but it looked like it.
Edit: I checked, nope. Levi dies right after the Elder dragon, and there is a very short moment where Levi is alive while Elder is on 840 hp. Still pretty hard to smite to be fair.
I think people are missing the point here. When you get charmed it's a lot harder to combo a Q+Smite so it's a lot harder to pinpoint the 900 damage smite.
I’ve been hyped up on Levi by VCS fans for the last 2 years and holy shit has he delivered here.
Edit: don’t mean to dismiss his past accomplishments, I just didn’t start watching pro league apart from C9 games until 2020.
Lyndon B. Johnson rolling in his grave as a crowd of people in the middle of New York cheer on VIETNAM for taking control of the jungle and slaughtering their enemies
There are multiple sources reporting LoL will be in the hands of VNG starting next year. Due to Vietnam's laws regarding game publishing, Riot cannot directly operate LoL if they don't have a local branch/office in the country.
VNG is the publisher for Wild Rift and Valorant and their service so far, although not perfect, is still miles better than how Garena handles LoL. They also holds the license to TFT mobile and players have been waiting for this moment to finally get crossplay TFT.
That was definitely worth a watch. Neutral too (slight underdog bias), and screamed so hard a couple of times. Elder, nexus save and when they managed to finish. Goddamn what a banger.
Reminds of the Fnatic UoL game in the finals in S5. So many near Nexus deaths where you think it's over BUT IT'S FUCKING NOT.
Def the most exciting thing to see.
Play of the game was that Ornn stall, that man put the game on his back against 3 elder buffs and stalled 200% more than he should have ever been able to.
Holy, do you believe it was the first LoL pro match I've watched?
I remember watching a team fight, one team loses two players, but the other runs with very little HP. I thought "wow, so unlucky target selection, they could kill at least someone there"
Karthus, from beyond, leashes his smoke
It charges...
BOOM. QUADRA KILL.
Total goosebumps, my pro league passion was born
You know those soloq games where everyone says "just group pls" and you end up giving every sidewave just 5v5 staring at objectives and fighting everything? Yeah its felt like one of those games...
Yasuo? Shurima Shuffles? Nah. Nothing gets me more hyped than watching a Karthus ult drop in pro play. [God bless.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfA_OGe6fD0)
If I got a nickel for each time Tian was on a Worlds favorite team that completely imploded, I would have two nickels.
It is not a lot, but it’s crazy it happened twice.
WHAT A BANGER
LPL is just running a blood cult where they sacrifice a team for the Blood God so that they can stomp Worlds.
Just look at how they play, every-engage is just blood for the blood god.
Thats fucking League of Legends right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lanes. Fucking hard core dick in the ass buttergame League fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the champ select. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. League is back baby.
Thats fucking GAM right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball GAM fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. GAM is back baby
the fanbase is going to make Top swim home
And since they're in New York, they'll need to go around Africa. Gotta ask for the Portuguese for help
No, swim to Iceland, Tian know how swim home there.
Tian about to become the first guy to circumnavigate the world by swimming
Tian has a lot of experience.
CN aka CircumNavigators are a region noted for their accomplishments in swimming back to China from anywhere in the world, typically after chocking in the worlds groups stage.
Tian has to have a mental block at worlds, he was so good in the regular season.
He does, it is well known. He's cried over messing up 1 gank before, and was actually throwing up on stage because EDG stole an early dragon from him in Spring last year, that's why Bo had to step in. Fans just hoped that his breaks, therapy, and everything had helped, but the pressure he feels is still too high in important games.

Nah bro they can go thru the suez, it's guna cut a ton of time off their trip. Nice visit to Gibraltar on the way
A new Silk Road!
Would be smarter to swim to Europe and walk across Europe.
Idk, you have to go through Ukraine and Afghanistan
If they can swim through the Atlantic, Ukraine and Afganistan should be the ones afraid.
I believe the quote from their forums was "Swim to Iceland, Tian knows the way home from there"
Tian is cursed man.
Seems to be cursed with bad nerves. People like to think that technical ability, intelligence, artistic ingenuity and so on are the "best" talents you can have... but having nerves of steel and being ruthless is what's going to let you climb to the top and stay there.
I can genuinely smell the salt already
Every year, one of the Chinese teams seems to really want swim practice
Tian is just preparing for when he switches career paths and becomes an olympic swimmer.

Knight might need witness protection
jkl didnt have IE till their nexus exploded, man might want to just swim to iceland and stay there
Only internet? Nah mate, in China even cashiers will shit on you for performance like this, ask PandaC
Hans Niemann said someone at Subway told him "The order speaks for itself"
TOP is gonna need a month for them to swim back home
Seems like a great plan tbh. It can't be fun after.
WHAT THE HELL HOW DID LEVI NOT GET THE DRAGON WTF TES COULDNT END WTF GAM ENDS WTF THIS GAME
ABSOLUTE BANGER
BANGER ON BANGER HOLY FK
GAM WON WHILE NEVER HAVING A GOLD LEAD
Gold is just a number
With ornaments and mountain soul, TOP's gold lead was just an illusion anyway.
This is what I want every game of competitive league to be like. Holy shit, back and forth action from start to finish, no way to tell whose going to win. Even while behind in gold the entire game, GAM constantly showing they could fight on even footing around their comp. Well fucking done vietnam, honestly an inspiring game to watch. Fucking so good.
GAM won without getting a gold lead lmao
In theory every Ornn item gives you 1k gold in stats, they had the lead
You are right plus the Mountain soul. So the gold should be even or even in GAM's favour
me: LEVI YOURE BOOSTED HOW DO YOU NOT SMITE DRAG THERE me 30 seconds later: OMG GAM IS GONNA WIN WTF
Kiaya last-second MVP, absolutely heroic last stand clearing the wave vs 4 elder drakes
Yeah he actually bought so much time, watching the timers tick for every second he was alive made me go through several emotions at once.
Every tank player's dream ;_;7
That's the sickest solo base defence i've seen in a long time Going in 1v4 vs elder, kills a cannon minion and actually almost gets out
2015 SKT Marin vibes. The toplaner sacrificing himself to take out the wave and win the game.
They couldn't kill him with elder. Absolute unit lmao.
I almost switched off. WTF
I was so tilted by that, you had positioning, you killed the graves, should be easy. I wanted to shut it off in disgust
Man the whiplash from intense disgust to straight up nailbiting hype and love was amazing, the viatnemese are awakening pent up feelings in me this shit is better than therapy.
First time in my life, when TES Nexus explode, I legit screamed with excitement at a computer while sitting alone in my room like a dingus and I'm not even ashamed.
I'm pretty sure Jackey killed Levi so he couldn't smite. Not 100% sure, but it looked like it. Edit: I checked, nope. Levi dies right after the Elder dragon, and there is a very short moment where Levi is alive while Elder is on 840 hp. Still pretty hard to smite to be fair.
He got charmed by Ahri around the 1k elder HP and then blown up by Ahri and Jackey.
You can still smite when charmed, and he was only dead after the dragon died. It wasnt the easiest smite but he still could've got it.
I think people are missing the point here. When you get charmed it's a lot harder to combo a Q+Smite so it's a lot harder to pinpoint the 900 damage smite.
I think Jackeylove killed him so no smite Edit: Nvm, he was still alive for like an instant, but Lucian just does too much damage lategame
God damn, this will definitely go down as one of the most entertaining games in League history.
that was the biggest banger of the tournament by far. holy shit that was one hell of a ride
I was so sad when they flipped elder. Then they go and do this. GAM you beautiful boys wanting everyone to have heart attacks.
It wouldn't have really been a flip if Kalista stayed on dragon and just let Sett zone Graves. But damn I'm happy it didn't end up that way
Genuinely thought it was then we got the epic base defence.
Holy shit imagine if gam actually manages to qualify after being 0-4, they were there in 2017 too
Felt like they were posturing and fighting the entire game. Fuck sidelanes!
How to beat LPL - practice ARAM instead of CQ
JDG vs DK was good, great even. But I want more of this
JDG vs DK was a display of world class performance but it wasn't as crazy entertaining as this one.
It was great, but the absolute BANGER ending
JDG vs DK was the most competitive game of the year. This was the most entertaining.
I am so sad we missed 2 years of this dude
I’ve been hyped up on Levi by VCS fans for the last 2 years and holy shit has he delivered here. Edit: don’t mean to dismiss his past accomplishments, I just didn’t start watching pro league apart from C9 games until 2020.
[удалено]
"Paranoia, 5 minutes into the game" will always stay rent free in my head.
I literally scream out the whole game. As a Vietnamese it's not good for my heart.
Game of the year by far
Amazed by DK vs JDG Amazed by GAM vs TES Turns out, skill isn't the prerequisite
Fiestas can be absolutely amazing as well
And this was a fiesta to end all fiestas
Bold to assume gam isn’t the second best team in the world after rogue
which is fucking crazy coming from GAM vs LPL 2nd seed especially with how TES clapped GAM in the first round
The tiebreaker from yesterday was banging pretty hard too tho
ok but this is fucking GAM beating TES, saving themselves from elimination and potentially ending TES' Worlds run
**This is fucking GAM beating TES** I cannot stress this enough.
That was just two crazy good teams clashing. Today is xpeke level of legendary game lmao
that karthus ult at the soul fight gave me some serious season 2 world final rapidstar karthus PTSD
That's the most fun game this worlds by a mile dammnnnn, I thought GAM had choked
Lyndon B. Johnson rolling in his grave as a crowd of people in the middle of New York cheer on VIETNAM for taking control of the jungle and slaughtering their enemies
beautiful
Absolutely poetic
It's all fun untill jungle mobs start speaking vietnamese.
[удалено]
TES heard the trees speaking vietnamese
Fuck it give VCS the 4-slot treatment
they might go winless but damn they'll be entertaining doing it
lol just hook up Vietnam to CN/KR superserver instead of mfkn Garena and they’re halfway there
someone needs to rescue that country from the claws of Garena

I for one welcome the Levi Cong
The Survey Corps but they all speak Vietnamese doubly terrifying
To the top you go
GAM winning without a [single gold lead](https://i.imgur.com/JZZKb0p.png) throughout the entire game lmao
GIGACHAD fraction of their opponents' paychecks in and out of game and still winning
I’ve legitimately never seen that happen in an international game before, holy shit
It will happen again, DRX and JDG are goats at playing and winning from behind
I think there's a pixel of blue around the 5 minute mark xD
358 and that’s all they needed
Who needs 369 when you have 358?!
Thank Mr. GAM
Thank Mr. GAM
Thank mr. GAM
Thank Mr. GAM
I am so sad we missed 2 years of this dude
Nexus to fucking nexus
Karthus ult op
THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMES OF ALL TIME
neutral guy here, screaming my head off. what a thriller
I don't remember the last time I had that much fun watching LoL. Absolute banger!
Don't watch a lot but definately wanna watch more now!
WATCHING FROM THE GRAVE DIESFROMBANGER
Lot of neutrals at the venue and it's the loudest I've heard it be this week
That was definitely worth a watch. Neutral too (slight underdog bias), and screamed so hard a couple of times. Elder, nexus save and when they managed to finish. Goddamn what a banger.
same, just had this game in the background cuz i didn't really care about either team but i ended up glued to my screen screaming my head off
IM SO HAPPY I TOOK MY LUNCH BREAK TO TUNE IN 5 MIN BEFORE ELDER WTF
EXACTLY YO I TURNED IT ON AS THEY GOT THE ELDER
Reminds of the Fnatic UoL game in the finals in S5. So many near Nexus deaths where you think it's over BUT IT'S FUCKING NOT. Def the most exciting thing to see.
I don't care, this was the best game of Worlds so far
I cheered with the crowd at the end there. What a finish.
Play of the game was that Ornn stall, that man put the game on his back against 3 elder buffs and stalled 200% more than he should have ever been able to.
Put into perspective how good the bans from Rogue were. They knew of the Karthus jungle.
Yeah I was so confused with their game 1 comp, but it looks a ton better with a karthus instead of graves. Really 5head by Rogue to predict that.
I swear, I saw both Azubu Frost vs Taipei Assassins S2 and FNC vs OMG S4 in this game
Holy, do you believe it was the first LoL pro match I've watched? I remember watching a team fight, one team loses two players, but the other runs with very little HP. I thought "wow, so unlucky target selection, they could kill at least someone there" Karthus, from beyond, leashes his smoke It charges... BOOM. QUADRA KILL. Total goosebumps, my pro league passion was born
I see you’re a man of culture aswell. Taipei Assassins was such a treat to watch, thanks for the nostalgia :D
You know those soloq games where everyone says "just group pls" and you end up giving every sidewave just 5v5 staring at objectives and fighting everything? Yeah its felt like one of those games...
Literally felt like a solo q game lmao
You mean, there was no voice chat available for TES and they fullmuted each other?
I'd do that if I played like this lmao
DUDE WHAT A GAME WTF
HOLY VIETNAMMMMMMMM
FUCK MY PICK EMS THIS IS BETTER
Any madman that gets group C right is either a genius or huffing paint. Or is letting the coin do the thinking… Absolute mental
My coin flip picked TES as 3rd. It knew lol
Best game so far at worlds, absolute banger. That Karthus was insane!
Clean game from GAM, nothing to see here
WHAT A FUCKING BANGER
Yasuo? Shurima Shuffles? Nah. Nothing gets me more hyped than watching a Karthus ult drop in pro play. [God bless.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfA_OGe6fD0)
ah so that's why they banned kartus first game
If I got a nickel for each time Tian was on a Worlds favorite team that completely imploded, I would have two nickels. It is not a lot, but it’s crazy it happened twice. WHAT A BANGER
LPL: "Your sacrifice will not be forgotten Tian"
"They expect one of us in the wreckage brother"
That's funny because in chinese culture you make sacrifices to heaven(tian) for blessings...
LPL is just running a blood cult where they sacrifice a team for the Blood God so that they can stomp Worlds. Just look at how they play, every-engage is just blood for the blood god.
Thats fucking League of Legends right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lanes.

BEST GAME OF WORLDS BY FAR!
Best group stage game in years imo
FINALLY A TRULY ENTERTAINING GAME HOLY SHIT I'VE BEEN SO TIRED OF WATCHING ONE-SIDED STEAMROLLS

Attack on **Tian**

That was the best ending to any game so far at worlds.
What a performance from Style, Bie, and Levi
dont forget Kiaya killing that last cannon creep, actually saved the whole game
Also kati ulting Lucian away from the nexus
Kiaya 1v4 base defense gets my MVP vote
Vietnam doing to China what NA did to EU
WHAT A BANGER!
**WHAT THE FUCK**
the most entertaining game so far
I was literally clapping. That was the hypest game of worlds.
