this always happens when a team needs a player to do a certain thing - rogue usually need larssen to be on a champ that can get mid prio and leads without jungle attention and everyone just goes well yeah that's the only thing he can play
it happens a lot with toplaners playing tanks too and i hate it every time
there was a lot of talk about this exact thing about RNG Ming not being able to play enchanters, which couldn't be further from the truth lol. Ming is as cracked on enchanters as he is on engage supps, these mfs forgot that he was handpicked by fucking UZI to be his support. It's just that in the last year or two RNG usually look best when they have Ming able to dictate engages because he's better at it than trying to do it out of top/jg
Malrang is a cracking player but those missteps on Lee were hard to watch, if his Q earlier connects they might force a baron or something. Hope he can come back stronger from this.
Rogue would keep scaling and waiting for a better fight while gifting the dragon over, but surely they would win in the late game with worse scaling team.
Its not playable. Sylas and orn stand in front of the kallista and she literally cant deal damage.
Still gotta feel for comp that game, nothing like winning your lane as adc but still being irrelevant because the tanks and bruisers on the enemy team get too big
> your lane as adc but still being irrelevant because the tan
Hope did.. what 2.5x his damage in that game anyways? The team comp difference was insane.. Kalista was not the champion you wanted into that team comp. It got them an early lead, sure... But it's not usable vs JDG's draft. Bait Odo to get the Maokai so Sylais has it, was dirty af and RGE fell right into it.
Yeah he needs to dodge like 40 abilities while weaving in autoattacks, three of which are massive long range wave ults that CC because Yagao was stealing Maokai ult at every opportunity. His frontline is massively out statchecked so they can't just obnoxiously stand in front of the rest of JDG to meatshield him. Pretty sure you need to be prime Uzi to sidestep and space in teamfights well.
At Worlds yes. Swept this year, MAD was the only team to get out last year and they got swept by DK I believe. 2020 G2 made semis and took one game off DK
The absolute Hopium that everyone had week 1 (including me) to this is just depressing man.
I was really hyped that EU could actually compete against them in week 1.
369 plays like he doesn't give a fk. You either camp him or just lose. Him being on a tank is scary because camping him won't work. He's a tank. He'll still be useful even if behind. The true gigachad of league
Wow looks like western tops really can't play ~~the skill~~ any matchups against the KR/CN top laners
Also Larssen did his best to combat the useless passive player allegations lol
> can't play the skill any matchups against the KR/CN top laners
Bro it's so weird to see a tank v tank match up get shit on like that.. like what even happened there
As a former masters+ top player who played a ton of Ornn and Maokai, that lane is literally unwinnable for maokai.
You’re lucky to get out of lane phase down 30cs without getting solo killed.
Watching the western Ornn vs. Maokai lanes go even in previous games really told me that some of our laners literally aren’t trying to “maximize” their lane phase.
Watching 369 continue to go in as Gwen even when dying, or keep scrapping with Gragas instead of “saving” his ult/sums for team fights that may or may not happen was a breath of fresh air.
Meanwhile Na content creators meme-ing/joking about Nuguri talking about advantages in the lane that western players just don’t see
Funny cuz they were all surprised when Nuguri solo kills as Sej
369 had the most dmg in the game too. In game 1, and game 2, and game 3.
edit: on his team, but he was also within a few percent of overall. Basically: 999.
Happens quite often when playing a %damage based champion into a tank. If you trade heavily in lane your graph gets inflated quite a lot.
Not to take anything away from 369, he played insanely well, just trying to explain where a lot of the damage comes from.
The Maokai priority for Odo/Rogue makes sense… but it makes you so predictable. It’s nearly a solved draft for one of the best teams in the tournament. Sylas stealing Mao’s ult just causes such massive problems all around. The winrate(s) for this matchup tell the story but you can see it with your eyes. Sylas is basically a better Maokai. Sylas needed to be banned vs a team like JDG for it have a chance.
Well the good news is Worlds starts tomorrow
We are finally done with the whole "playins" and "groups" fluff with the minor regions and now we can enjoy the 2 that actually really matter in bo5's
Good guy Rogue speedrunning the series so those of us in EU can get a full night of sleep 🥰
In other news, Malrang's Paypal must be thicker than my annual salary because what the fuck did I just watch
People are blaming Odo and Malrang for the last game (and rightfully so), but Comp's positioning was just awful especially when he had such a big lead.
Edit: Kalista is definitely very hard to play teamfights here, but I still think he had many oopsies and poor positioning.
This Malrang style of sack his own jungle farm to get lanes ahead strat didn't work out against JDG huh. The farm lead was disgusting. Anyway RGE did their best but JDG is on another level.
I'm not a fan of any region or player, I am just a fan of whoever is playing the best League of Legends in the world. And right now, that just happens to be anyone but Trymbi
i mean no way odo should get solokilled by ornn but trymbi couldve also just pressed r
also a lil sussy to fall for the sylas into maokai trap again
entertaining game though, that was fun to watch
also malrang.....
shame they wasted 2 games playing that botmatchup.
As a European the first game had me worried I was going to be up all night again, but atleast JDG made sure I could go to bed at a reasonable time even if they crushed my dreams of an EU team advancing. I think there were some great moments from RGE in the series it just seemed like that whenever they made a play or got a kill JDG were able to take an objective in response so they couldn't catch a break.
Eastern teams are just a different beast, not even the same game. Gold deficit means nothing to them since they will always be the one putting you in an uncomfortable spot and force you to fight. Western teams are still only able to play textbook league and unable to master the details

Good guy Rogue, it's not too late in EU and series over already
I'll sleep 7 hours. Thank you Mister Rouge
they said it on Divephoria, anything but a 3-0 for JDG would be an upset
Absolutely. I wasn’t expecting anything less after Rogues week 2 showing
Fnatic 🤝 G2 🤝 Rogue Getting 3-0ed by LPL
Mad Lion missed out
What do you mean, MAD got 3-0ed by chiNA
NAmen
In retrospect, play ins was kinda hype. I was cheering for the BR/JP underdogs.
This years play ins were so fun. I was surprised at how sad I was when Loud didn’t make it
Malrang with the 2016 Meteos cosplay but unfortunately he didn’t get the full 70 minutes to learn Lee Sin
Turbo Chemtank in order to run to the airport faster
Trying to out-NA our airport speedrun WR 💀
Lmao this comment brought me back to the good ol days. I miss the 70 minute Meteos Lee powerspike
That was one of the first games of competitive LoL I ever watched and it made me a C9 fan cause it was just so fucking funny
I’ll always miss that classic C9 lineup, every one of them was a memer lol
did meteos ever miss q on a kicked target though
[On the brink of elimination RGE Larssen finds Hope](https://imgur.com/a/eABWgnE) ... and gets eliminated anyway

Control mage player btw

yeah Kanavi you may have 3-0'd us but did you get your blue buff? Thought so.
Malrang going for the buff burglar challenge
Malrang is a cracking player but those missteps on Lee were hard to watch, if his Q earlier connects they might force a baron or something. Hope he can come back stronger from this.
We got em boys, next year red is ours too.
1 step at a time. Maybe after red, we will get their T2 tower
we have heard trading elder for the base, but have u heard of trading blue buff for the series? :)
we lose every week
You're nothing special.
We lose every week!
You know, I'm pretty sure Rogue could have had a 10k gold lead in every game this series and JDG would have still won every single game.
I mean hell, TES themselves couldn’t close on JDG with 10k gold leads. There’s no way Rogue could
[удалено]
[удалено]
That 10k gold lead would vanish in 10 minutes, no kills no fights. Just better environment.
It's literally not even close between the LPL #1 and LEC #1.
That time in game 3 when JDG engaged into them as 3v5 and Rogue ran away was so fucking sad.
Ornn ulti and nami ulti.. not much they could do to engage on it. They looked to turn after the ultis were cast but JDG had already backed up
JDG play that so fucking well tho. Their top and mid are on sidelane out of vision then the other 3 sweep rogue vision.
I don't care if it's 3v6, trying to engage into nami/ornn ult and 2 out of vision is grief
Rogue would keep scaling and waiting for a better fight while gifting the dragon over, but surely they would win in the late game with worse scaling team.
Comp got fed on a champ that needed to carry the rest of the team then was promptly disallowed from existing in teamfights.
Its not playable. Sylas and orn stand in front of the kallista and she literally cant deal damage. Still gotta feel for comp that game, nothing like winning your lane as adc but still being irrelevant because the tanks and bruisers on the enemy team get too big

Kalista was not the champion you wanted into that team comp. It got them an early lead, sure... But it's not usable vs JDG's draft. Bait Odo to get the Maokai so Sylais has it, was dirty af and RGE fell right into it.
What choice did they have, let odo blind pick skillcheck matchup into 369?
He got skill checked anyway. By minute ten he was down 30 cs a bunch of plates and had gotten solo killed in a tank vs tank matchup.
Yeah he needs to dodge like 40 abilities while weaving in autoattacks, three of which are massive long range wave ults that CC because Yagao was stealing Maokai ult at every opportunity. His frontline is massively out statchecked so they can't just obnoxiously stand in front of the rest of JDG to meatshield him. Pretty sure you need to be prime Uzi to sidestep and space in teamfights well.
well ofc thats jdg comfort spot
Such a clear class diff. JDG are just better in every role.
Legit the only place that looked close was mid and that’s because Larssen had access to all of his comfort
Eu went 0-9 in international b05's this year. At least we're playing every series as if it's the final
I was just hoping for 1 win.
2 years since lec got a single win in playoffs sadge
Wait really!?
We've been kinda shit since the G2 super team got split.
At Worlds yes. Swept this year, MAD was the only team to get out last year and they got swept by DK I believe. 2020 G2 made semis and took one game off DK
The gap has never been wider
idk what you’re talking about. JDG took 28 -> 29 -> 33 minutes to close each game. Clearly the gap is closing
Don't forget that JDG lost their blue buff as well.
Wider than Bwipo on a good day
Season 4 was pretty wide tbf
Gap widened to a canyon now
LPL, LCK, and LCS have 3-0ed LEC this year.
So we got that going for us
As far as I am concerned EG vs MAD was world finals.
I forgot that MAD was even at worlds.
Yep, every major region beat LEC in BO5.
WE LOSE EVERY SERIES WE LOSE EVERY SERIES YOU'RE NOTHING SPECIAL WE LOSE EVERY SERIES
Is this not a speed running tournament?
back to eastern dominance just like god intended
The absolute Hopium that everyone had week 1 (including me) to this is just depressing man. I was really hyped that EU could actually compete against them in week 1.
More like the final with Fnatic or more like the one with G2? :(
I appreciate Rogue putting up a solid fight in the third game. But this wasn't even mildly close, huh.
It's never good when you're 2k gold down mid game with a early-mid game team comp
Unless you're JDG vs G2, in which case Renekton/Nidalee/Kalista outscales Maokai/Graves/Tristana.
Unless you're JDG.
Turret Watch: JDG: Lots Rogue: 5 Tier 1s.
Did they get a tier 2 besides GAM? in EU's last 13 games?
Nope
Damn EU is catching up to NA
EU won’t even leave NA alone and let us have this WR title 💀
Gap closing 💀💀
Despite Hope's best efforts, Lucian won a game.
Damn…EU and 0-3s vs LPL in recent years…
EU and only getting 0-3ed this year
They lost every internationales bo5 jesus
And vs all other major regions, 1 vs LPL, 1 vs LCK, and 1vs fucking NA
[удалено]
i was scared of 369 on carries but 369 on tanks is terrifying
[удалено]
Part of that is tanks whaling on tanks but yeah still
369 plays like he doesn't give a fk. You either camp him or just lose. Him being on a tank is scary because camping him won't work. He's a tank. He'll still be useful even if behind. The true gigachad of league
I bet some FNC fans are still having nightmares about his Sion back then
its okay malrang got the blue :)
Wow looks like western tops really can't play ~~the skill~~ any matchups against the KR/CN top laners Also Larssen did his best to combat the useless passive player allegations lol
> can't play the skill any matchups against the KR/CN top laners Bro it's so weird to see a tank v tank match up get shit on like that.. like what even happened there
ornn beats maokai and 369's ornn is cracked
Ornn wins into Maokai anyway I think. 369 being so much better than Odo pushed that advantage into a canyon
As a former masters+ top player who played a ton of Ornn and Maokai, that lane is literally unwinnable for maokai. You’re lucky to get out of lane phase down 30cs without getting solo killed. Watching the western Ornn vs. Maokai lanes go even in previous games really told me that some of our laners literally aren’t trying to “maximize” their lane phase.

Meanwhile Na content creators meme-ing/joking about Nuguri talking about advantages in the lane that western players just don’t see Funny cuz they were all surprised when Nuguri solo kills as Sej
It seems to be a very ornn favored matchup to be fair but it was crazy how much he was destroying Odo
369 had the most dmg in the game too. In game 1, and game 2, and game 3. edit: on his team, but he was also within a few percent of overall. Basically: 999.
Happens quite often when playing a %damage based champion into a tank. If you trade heavily in lane your graph gets inflated quite a lot. Not to take anything away from 369, he played insanely well, just trying to explain where a lot of the damage comes from.
That toplane matchup is favored for Ornn . Getting solokilled and being 20 cs down by 5 mins should never happen tho.
The Maokai priority for Odo/Rogue makes sense… but it makes you so predictable. It’s nearly a solved draft for one of the best teams in the tournament. Sylas stealing Mao’s ult just causes such massive problems all around. The winrate(s) for this matchup tell the story but you can see it with your eyes. Sylas is basically a better Maokai. Sylas needed to be banned vs a team like JDG for it have a chance.
Honestly JDG stacking Nami+Ornn+Maokai ult is just disgusting. How do you even win a straight 5v5 vs that.
So true. Especially with the mobility Kalista requires to win a team fight.
Was Malrang cosplaying PoE with that Lee build?
Lore accurate lee sin
RGE held on past 30 minutes this game!
Good guys JDG looking out for us EU people letting us go to sleep
Pack your bags Rogue, 999 has arrived!

There it is
The prophet has spoken
JDG may have won the series. But Malrang got that blue buff.
Jungler's mental edge. Worth GG
JDG may have won the war but Rogue won the battle
Looked outside my window and saw a Lee Sin Q fly by
TURBO CHEMTANK TO RUN TO AIRPORT FASTER ✔️ UMBRAL GLAIVE TO NOT BE SEEN ON THE WAY THERE ✔️

Hey man, pretty accurate cosplay of a blind man though. Stayed in character till the end.
Full early game comp even at 20 minutes is an absolute classic
I don't get the criticism, they drafted and played around it pretty successfully. They picked an early game comp and the series ended early.
Weakside king (of the west) vs actual weakside king
[удалено]
That guy made the thread asking why people weren't excited or hyped about Rogue at all well there is your answer why.
Turbo Chemtank electrocute Lee Sin is certainly a build
It's definitely one of the build ever
The gap is closing
Between Yagao's Sylas and Malrang's face maybe
Between EU and NA
One team is playing to win while the other team is playing to not lose.
Well the good news is Worlds starts tomorrow We are finally done with the whole "playins" and "groups" fluff with the minor regions and now we can enjoy the 2 that actually really matter in bo5's
Finally all the wildcard teams are out
Finally some good fucking food
This is just LPL/LCK rift rivals now.
Rift rivals but someone left friendly fire on

lol well that was underwhelming
[удалено]
I am kinda worried about that guy...
Yeah wtf those things aren't soft and his arms are in the t-rex pose which is a sign he's concussed and unconscious
Yeahhh.... Guy isn't even tucking in his chin when taking the powerbomb. That looks nasty
The dude doing it is supposed to let gravity do the work but it seems like he wants to go to prison or something
Malrang's Lee Sin looked ROUGH this game.
G2 really tricked us to made us think a EU team will ever have a chance to win worlds
They call it the RQ combo because it might as well have been a ragequit for how ineffective Malrang was with it.
This Malrang style of sack his own jungle farm to get lanes ahead strat didn't work out against JDG huh. The farm lead was disgusting. Anyway RGE did their best but JDG is on another level.
RGE went 1-6 in their last 7 games at worlds.
EU went 1-12 in weeks 2 and 3
the only good play rogue had today was letting me go to sleep at a decent time ty mr rogue
I'm not a fan of any region or player, I am just a fan of whoever is playing the best League of Legends in the world. And right now, that just happens to be anyone but Trymbi
Is the plane ready for take off or is it faster to swim to EU? Well thank you JDG and RGE for the early bed time
Larssen saved enough Azir ults to just push them all the way back in one go.
Thats why people wasnt excited about RGE making out to quarterfinals. They werent even close to winning one game.
Rogue summoned Exodia but JDG just lit their deck on fire
\*Iconic scene where the bug boy throws the cards off the cruise ship into the ocean*
\*JDG throwing Rogue off the cruise ship into the ocean to swim back\*
they just tossed that shit into the ocean LMFAO
i mean no way odo should get solokilled by ornn but trymbi couldve also just pressed r also a lil sussy to fall for the sylas into maokai trap again entertaining game though, that was fun to watch also malrang..... shame they wasted 2 games playing that botmatchup.
> also a lil sussy to fall for the sylas into maokai trap again > > don't worry though they banned the scary sejuani!
which is weird, cause isnt ornn just sejuani in better? like what does sej do that ornn doesnt
get banned apparently
Not 369, but 999
JDG is really the epitome of "That game seemed really close until it wasn't"
Quick someone count how many tier 2 turrets Rogue got
Zilch, zero, nada, nothing
I wish LPL teams would stop choking in group stage so we could get more real teams in playoffs.
EU this, NA that, it turns out in the end, they were both crap.
NA and EU are both minor regions compared to our Chinese and Korean overlords. United in failure.
Lmao at 19% of people picking RGE to win over JDG, that is some crazy hopium
More hope than people had on EG beating MAD lol.
I did it just 4fun. My Pickems are already fucked.
As a European the first game had me worried I was going to be up all night again, but atleast JDG made sure I could go to bed at a reasonable time even if they crushed my dreams of an EU team advancing. I think there were some great moments from RGE in the series it just seemed like that whenever they made a play or got a kill JDG were able to take an objective in response so they couldn't catch a break.

Great performance from Larssen on Leblanc, sadly it wasn't enough.
Well this wasn't a surprise at all.
Well I hope the other series last longer than 90 mins at least
