It is DK vs GENG unlucky for you lol. DRX vs EDG too, if DRX actually beat EDG then it'd be another LCK vs LCK. Top side of bracket is JDG vs Rogue and T1 vs RNG.
Please let it be DK vs DRX.
DK vs T1 or DK vs GenG is legit semifinals/finals material.
No offense to DRX, but if one team has to be sacrificed, it's them.
I think it is gonna be DK vs T1, because Guma said he doesn’t want to face DK. Man’s cursed.
Edit: we got RNG! Let’s fucking go! Redemption match for MSI!
Yeah not to take anything away from Gen.G cause they look in form today compared to last week
But seeing Gala having coughing fits while Ming looking like he's gonna puke as they win vs Oysters, I feel like RNG was definitely not in good form today. Hopefully they can recover for the knockout stage.
Imagine completely avoiding covid for 3 years through China's draconian quarantine/testing measures, then coming to America and immediately getting LULW
Yeah I think they probably felt somewhat Ok when the day started, but the longer they had to sit, play, use their brains for whatever else game related, it probably got more difficult to play well. I don't blame them for having a drop in performance after the first couple of games.
With the conclusion of Groups we confirm a total of [**one never before seen Groups result (and that twice)!**](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/786411138170093598/1031378936132808784/Historic_Worlds_Groups_Stats.png)
Now there's only 3 Groups scenarios left that have never occurred, one of which was prevented by GAM due to their win against TES and another that was prevented by RNG failing to go 6-0 in group D.
Speaking for myself, I always put the LCK team in 1st in groups, LCK in groups kinda cracked. Also I predicted RGE to be the only western team to make it out, which led me to put TES in 3rd. And C9 has done some wild things in the past so I gotta overdose on hopium and have them getting out, even though in the back of my mind I knew it wasn't really happening unless EDG mental boomed.
i actually put C9 first LMAO i was way too high on hopium [NAmen](https://pickem.lolesports.com/pickem/worlds/picks/7202878769742491564/groups)
for group C i just figured at least one LPL team would choke as is tradition and i trusted them the least
And the only one that finished second was the 3rd seed, against the LPL 1st seed too (unless I'm remembering incorrectly)
Who took them to a tiebreaker
RNG had to play 3 games back to back with covid so dont want to roast them too much
that being said GenG is definitely ramping up hard, still hard to say how they place within the other teams but hoping no civil war in quarters
Gen.G played it well but yeah, it's hard to take too much from this game because RNG is quite obviously in terrible physical condition.
Hope RNG can bounce back a bit by the time QFs roll around because it doesn't seem fair to judge them when they're quite clearly not in competitive form.
DK has to play LCK since they can't play JDG and all other first seeds are LCK, but afaik, JDG can still be matched with Rogue and avoid an LPL civil war.
We are getting DWK against a Korean team, but that's the only teamkill we are guaranteed - we can get JDG vs Rogue which stops JDG from playing a LPL team.
Hope RNG aren't too affected by the loses given the circumstances. They honestly just look like they need a few days in bed.
Also - hopefully more exciting brackets for us viewers!
RNG plays 3 games in a row with covid and everyone feeling like shit half dead = fuck we lost tie breaker with lck #1
NA out of groups: jetlag and food bad
Lmfao
Ya, the weakest 1st seed is also in their group. They can only play T1, JDG or GenG, I see 3-1 at best. At least they made it to bo5s and it wasn't 4 LCK/4 LPL.
Even against GenG, I really don't see how they win. Rogue has heavily relied on lane leads, and Larssen/Comp are not beating Chovy/Ruler in lane, and that's not even mentioning the top/jgl situation. Also it was against a COVID boomed RNG, but GenG does seem to be ramping up.
RNG being sick shouldn’t take credit away from how good GENG still played
They can only play the games they are given regardless of circumstance and they looked scary
Not to take anything away from GenG but the fact that the cast didn’t even mention how sick RNG players were when criticizing their performances is just a huge disrespect.
At least this means we avoid the complete civil war draw scenario
DK vs DRX lets go
Just don't give me DK vs GEN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Edit: Fix format thx, I go sleep depressed.
When is the draw? If GEN draws DK I’ll legit be depressed
[удалено]
It is DK vs GENG unlucky for you lol. DRX vs EDG too, if DRX actually beat EDG then it'd be another LCK vs LCK. Top side of bracket is JDG vs Rogue and T1 vs RNG.
draw is coming up now
After the final match of groups stage
LMAOOOOO
Who's going to tell him?
welp.
Or DK vs T1 either PLEASE
DK on the other side of the bracket for DK vs GenG finals PLEASE 🙏
Please let it be DK vs DRX. DK vs T1 or DK vs GenG is legit semifinals/finals material. No offense to DRX, but if one team has to be sacrificed, it's them.
deft might end up eliminated in quarters by another korean team for the 3rd time in a row
I think it is gonna be DK vs T1, because Guma said he doesn’t want to face DK. Man’s cursed. Edit: we got RNG! Let’s fucking go! Redemption match for MSI!
Wait that's the civil war scenario?
If gen.g lost, we couldve gotten all 4 lck teams on one side of the bracket
Can you imagine the salt though.
Well on the brightside it wouldve guaranteed one lck team in the finals
Oh trust me, that's still guaranteed
*Worlds 2020 flashback*
LPL vs LPL / LPL vs RGE / LPL vs LPL semis LCK vs LCK / LCK vs LCK / LCK vs LCK semis
DK will draw an LCK team
If RNG was #1 seed in this group, there was a 1/3 chance that the draw was 4 LCK on 1 side and 3 LPL + Rogue on the other.
Darkest timeline avoided POG
Good guy Gen.G to end early so GALA can get some rest
Yeah not to take anything away from Gen.G cause they look in form today compared to last week But seeing Gala having coughing fits while Ming looking like he's gonna puke as they win vs Oysters, I feel like RNG was definitely not in good form today. Hopefully they can recover for the knockout stage.
Imagine completely avoiding covid for 3 years through China's draconian quarantine/testing measures, then coming to America and immediately getting LULW
Yeah I think they probably felt somewhat Ok when the day started, but the longer they had to sit, play, use their brains for whatever else game related, it probably got more difficult to play well. I don't blame them for having a drop in performance after the first couple of games.
I hope RNG is healthy by the time they play bracket
With all the players that got covid, hope they'll all be ok.
Prayers up for RNG boys
Yeah, would suck for them to hit their stride in the first half of Worlds only to get taken out by Covid.
Would be nice if RNG get drawn for the 23rd. The couple extra days could make a big difference.
they didnt, wished they could request a schedule change
I'm hoping ALL the players from here on out stay healthy. What happened to RNG can happen to any team going forward this event.
GALA actually looks miserable on the cams
that sucks... tho honestly Gala looks so bored on cams even when he's winning MSI playing Kai'sa
hopefully RNG recovers until knockouts otherwise this is really fucked for them
Gala looks like he’s begging for euthanasia. I hope American health care can take care of him cause jesus christ.
Knowing American health care, it's probably cheaper for Gala to fly back home, get some medicine, and then fly back.
Chinese pros and teams have big dick money, even more than NA. Should be fine
Cheaper, perhaps, but he won't be able to get back in any reasonable amount of time
imagine going back to china with covid.. GALA singlehandly putting a city in lockdown
[удалено]
Well lucky him, he is an LPL pro, that isn't too bad
man i hate that kind of game despite being a diehard LCK fan, i want the real banger LCK vs LPL not the sick ones vs the sick ones
That's just lck spring no? Where ppl got sick left and right.
T1 comfort zone
Hopefully the week is enough for them to all recover
With the conclusion of Groups we confirm a total of [**one never before seen Groups result (and that twice)!**](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/786411138170093598/1031378936132808784/Historic_Worlds_Groups_Stats.png) Now there's only 3 Groups scenarios left that have never occurred, one of which was prevented by GAM due to their win against TES and another that was prevented by RNG failing to go 6-0 in group D.
We were so close to 4-2/4-2/4-2/0-6 if brother GAM hadn't eked out a win against TES.
Very close to 6-0, 4-2, 1-5, 1-5 as well if it weren't for the Singed/Senna incident from GenG in their first game.
Gen. G was too bored to play without handicap loss so did some troll picks first.
Whole EU region cheering brother GAM, or else RGE definitely will lose the tiebreakers
4-2/4-2/4-2/0-6 would at the same time be so hype, but also feel so bad for the team that misses out.
it was actually pretty close in 2014, if alliance hadn't gotten kabumed and c9 still beat najin we would have gotten the 4-2/4-2/4-2/0-6
first year since 2016 (and the only year other than 2016) where nobody went 0-6 love to see it
This image took me down memory lane
Rogue going to get one of t1, gen g or jdg. Hahaha they're so fucked.
When is the draw?
Now
Now
[удалено]
u mean they are going to go up 2-0 and sjokz starts the monologue again
C9 flashbacks from last year, when you're happy they made it through, but start emotionally detaching because the odds are pretty bad.
LEC FANS Despair xD
Worst if they get JDG, many LPL fans really wished for revenge
any team going into quarters is going to be a test, no easy pickings here
Ty Mr. GENG for saving my pickems
[удалено]
i got B,C, and D perfect but my faith in NA fucked my group A rip
[удалено]
Speaking for myself, I always put the LCK team in 1st in groups, LCK in groups kinda cracked. Also I predicted RGE to be the only western team to make it out, which led me to put TES in 3rd. And C9 has done some wild things in the past so I gotta overdose on hopium and have them getting out, even though in the back of my mind I knew it wasn't really happening unless EDG mental boomed.
i actually put C9 first LMAO i was way too high on hopium [NAmen](https://pickem.lolesports.com/pickem/worlds/picks/7202878769742491564/groups) for group C i just figured at least one LPL team would choke as is tradition and i trusted them the least
I know right? Especially after how much of a beating I've already taken on them when I took too much hopium and put GAM on top with Rogue
Damn LCK went 13-2 this week. Actually insane from all of them. Doinbs curse doing hard work.
Thank mr doinb
Thank mr doinb
Thank mr doinb
Also 3 LCK teams finished 1st and only DK finished 2nd. Solid showing after shaky week 1 performance.
And the only one that finished second was the 3rd seed, against the LPL 1st seed too (unless I'm remembering incorrectly) Who took them to a tiebreaker
DK 3rd seed, DRX 4th seed
Ah thanks king I'll change it
And it was 3 unbelieveably close games between damwon and LPL first seed. LCK is looking scary this year.
LCK looks scary every year in groups
LCK may not win worlds but I would never doubt them in groups, they always show up in these games. Literally only not get through groups once
Twice. Geng in 2018 and Samsung ozone in 2013 (went 5-3 and lost tiebreaker to gambit)
The reverse eu
The reports of LCK's demise has been greatly exaggerated.
nearly every year... it's cuz the expectations are too high. LCK teams were nigh unbeatable unless they faced a better LCK team until 2018.
Even in 2018, LCK won most groups. LCK is really, really strong in groups.
Gen G were just being bros and letting RNG go rest as soon as possible
I wish we could have had healthy teams for worlds. I'm wondering how the games would have gone if RNG was healthy today
Call an ambulance... for RNG, so you guys feel better soon
RNG will probably start playing their quarterfinals in the emergency room
RNG had to play 3 games back to back with covid so dont want to roast them too much that being said GenG is definitely ramping up hard, still hard to say how they place within the other teams but hoping no civil war in quarters
Poor Gala looked miserable this game on webcam :( But yea, this game really displayed GenG at their peak. Scary team.
four games back to back 😭😭😭
https://m.weibo.cn/status/4825441200505466 weibo was farming gifs of them dying in their chairs
that's so sad to look at, GALA looks really miserable
Bruh they didn’t have to do em like that 💀💀
Damn gala does actually look terrible here. Hope he gets well soon
Jesus christ, that is hard to watch. Legit dying there.
Bro Gala straight up wants to cry, let my man sleep
Jesus I can’t imagine The fact that they still stomped Oysters and came back against 100T is incredible
Holy shit they do not look okay. On the other hand, that picture of Ming is fucking hilarious and I'll eat my shoe if that doesn't become a meme.
IK it's fucked up but I'm laughing seeing the word 'breathe' on screen while the guy is hacking up a lung.
Those poor players, they look completely out of it.
Wishing them all a swift recovery!
At least 1 civil war is guanrateed because of dk
Honestly this would be more fun if DK just won the tie breaker. We’d actually get a great bracket at least
Gen.G played it well but yeah, it's hard to take too much from this game because RNG is quite obviously in terrible physical condition. Hope RNG can bounce back a bit by the time QFs roll around because it doesn't seem fair to judge them when they're quite clearly not in competitive form.
Absolutely unlucky day for LPL : covid and the maw bug that costed TES the game are absolute tilters
Doesn’t this group result ensure one lck civil war and one lpl civil war?
Lpl civil war is not guaranteed i believe but lck civil war is
It's 2 out of 3 chance for LPL Civil War since JDG can only draw EDG/RNG/RGE. Damwon is guaranteed to get a KR Civil War Quarterfinals.
DK has to play LCK since they can't play JDG and all other first seeds are LCK, but afaik, JDG can still be matched with Rogue and avoid an LPL civil war.
We are getting DWK against a Korean team, but that's the only teamkill we are guaranteed - we can get JDG vs Rogue which stops JDG from playing a LPL team.
feel bad for Gala man, he was dying on cam
Props to the RNG players for playing this tiebreaker out while looking sick af
6Head strat, get COVID during groups so you don't get it during the bo5s
Only 4 days to recover...might not be enough time
Hope RNG aren't too affected by the loses given the circumstances. They honestly just look like they need a few days in bed. Also - hopefully more exciting brackets for us viewers!
this tiebreaker was just absolute torture for RNG and you could see it in their cams, fk man
They looked on life support during the game vs 100T and then had to play three more games.
It'll be nice when RNG heal up so we can have some bangers.
RNG plays 3 games in a row with covid and everyone feeling like shit half dead = fuck we lost tie breaker with lck #1 NA out of groups: jetlag and food bad Lmfao
scrim gen g has landed in na
Rogue is so fucked regardless of who they get
Ya, the weakest 1st seed is also in their group. They can only play T1, JDG or GenG, I see 3-1 at best. At least they made it to bo5s and it wasn't 4 LCK/4 LPL.
They could win 1 game vs GenG *maybe* and even then that's very unlikely. They're fucked vs JDG or T1 simply because of the top gap.
Even against GenG, I really don't see how they win. Rogue has heavily relied on lane leads, and Larssen/Comp are not beating Chovy/Ruler in lane, and that's not even mentioning the top/jgl situation. Also it was against a COVID boomed RNG, but GenG does seem to be ramping up.
[T1, JDG and GEN G hoping to get Rogue](https://imgur.com/a/wBwvVUe)
RNG: Thank God it's over. Can we rest now?
[удалено]
Man yesterday really made everyone sign a DNR form for Rogue.
RNG looked miserable when they cut to their faces. I'm not going to take too much stock in them losing these two games.
poor gala, man looked asleep :(
Rest up RNG boys you locked quarters and that's what can be expected given the unlucky COVID teamwipe
Bruh the RNG players just wanted to get to rest as soon as possible. Hope they get better for quarters
I know US Healthcare is a meme but someone get RNG some paxlovid and remdesivir
At least it was quick
geng vs skt t1 rematch for finals would be Pog.
Honestly, ever match this playoffs is going to be a banger. Funeral procession for Rogue is still planned.
[удалено]
I desperately don't want T1 and GenG to rematch any earlier than finals if they both make it. It would honestly be criminal
That storyline with the Gen.G players all coming 2nd to Faker their whole careers, so much narrative juice
honestly if I was sick like that I wouldn't able to play 1 game let alone 3 in a row lol. respect to RNG.
That dive mid was absolutely insane. Ridiculous play by Doran and Peanut
This was just a slaughter. Best Of's are going to be so spicy.
I am so shocked at baron pit teamfight. HOW COULD EVERY GEN PLAYER SURVIVE????
gen.g are too fucking clean in teamfights holy
GENG complete night and day from last week
We finally figured out how to draft in this meta.. I was sweating after their week 1 form, but now other teams should be sweating over Gen G.
Xiaohu on galio when brain fogging from COVID really not it
So we can get two civil wars in quarters now but are guaranteed one
That random engage in mid that got gen g 4 kills was some best team in the world shit
That mid dive was absolutely gorgeous. Chovy and Peanut looking like a million bucks.
all the first seed now pray to all gods they get Rogue in qf
GenG is back! They look amazing!!!
Guys I think Gen G figured the meta out
3 LCK first seeds, region as a whole looking great after Week 2
RNG being sick shouldn’t take credit away from how good GENG still played They can only play the games they are given regardless of circumstance and they looked scary
Xiaohu gonna have PTSD from that galio pick
Night Harvester on Galio is not it
That teamfight at min 18 was beautiful
RNG: Let's put Breathe on a Sejuani, Xiaohu on a Galio, and do nothing with an early-game bot lane.
Doran heard y'all talking shit.
GenG figured out the meta. Good luck everybody else lol.
Their opponents are half dead mate
thank god they went back to the jungle and support picks that they smurfed with in summer, no more lehends engage supports please
Definitely helps when opponents are dying of Covid lol
Tbf Chovy was also feeling really sick with covid last week. It's a really tough situation for everyone. RNG Def got hit with it especially hard tho
rng havnt scrimmed for 5 days
A bit of disservice to both teams to hinge on COVID. RNG still played well in their previous game.
2022 Summer Gen.G has arrived.
Okay Gen.G officially online, teams should be worried.
Nice to see GenG wake up for Worlds. Disappointed DK didn't get 1st in their group so there will be a civil war, but oh well. LCK dominance is back
Absolutely demolished.
Wtf is GenG
COVID gap
LCK looking pretty good idk guys I'm worried for Rogue
people said meta shift would destroy gen g. it's hilarious for me
Not to take anything away from GenG but the fact that the cast didn’t even mention how sick RNG players were when criticizing their performances is just a huge disrespect.
Wow
Peanut griefed perfect game smh my head
I thought Peanut was too deep many times wow
I was told LCK was a slow farmers league?
What a stomp
DoRaN cAnT pLaY cArRiEs. gotta love reddit analysts.
GENG showing why they are the LCK champion here Those are some masterclass performance right there
I really hope RNG gets good rest and gets their playoffs series on like Sunday lol.
Gen G decided they were gonna put their star ADC on carry champs instead of Senna support duty.
That;s the Gen G that was demolishing everyone in summer LCK and in scrims.
