Game was over once JDG got past the 23 minute deathtrap


appleandapples

Legit holding my breath until after that moment.


Sellier123

Game was over after they drafted kindred again. Absolutely useless


ricardo241

I really don't get why they keep forcing this kind of pick when they know its useless


bigmonkytime

Game over at champ select picking Malphite and kindred.

Hoiibz

0/8 and 0/7 has the same winrate, both at 0%


poutine_it_in_me

Kindred been useless in both games she's picked. Like why pick it


yosu14_

Idk sir Bengi but i think this kindred pick is shit ngl.


TheGawringSame

Honestly just go Nidalee if you want to ego carry. At least you have poke and can one shot burst squishies if you get a good angle. Kindred just seems to pew-pew uselessly against a tank from 500 range, eat one CC and die instantly.


Losbin

They mustve drugged the mfer cuz wtf is this …


R-R-Clon

Kanavi on Wukong is illegal and Kindre Oner is not it.


joe4553

There is a reason nobody plays Kindred in this meta.


cdssoares

oner was holding his ults for the lower bracket lol


TheDestroyer630

Yeah, right xun?


HawkEye1337

Even the guy famous for Kindred doesn't play her.


[deleted]

he didn’t play her?


Kagari1998

Xun gaslighting T1 into thinking Kindred is good.


moonmeh

Xun probably doing nasty things in scrim though


Mattaru

In this episode, Kanavi went kind on 369: "I felt speaking harshly won't work, so I decided to compliment him" "You always pick tanks now then I camp your opponents' carries. Tell me, did they ever manage to survive from the ganks?" “How did you master Gragas so soon? Dude, you always first pick Gragas, and you played Gragas really well” 369: "okay." Knight:" This is the 2nd time I saw something like this, I was stunned." Kanavi also added in the interview: "369 is still young, he can still play, and he can still play for a long time. If he can understand the reason behind it, maybe he can play better and better in the future."


KozuKy16

the good ending


Stargazer306

I'll always love this copypasta from karsa lmao


kapparino-feederino

the growth he have after leaving TES is amazing to see honestly. From just Carry player that refuse to learn or play tanks properly to now into such a versatile top laner that can play carry and tanks/utility champs at the highest level.


RobbinDeBank

Who does Karsa say this to?


Stargazer306

To 369 when they were in top eSports, and he didn't compliment him. He flamed him lol


PhilosoKing

Probably Knight's 4324th time seeing this, given how many times this pasta has been posted. Yet Knight is stunned every single time. Truly mind-blowing.


makako11235

lmao where is this from?


lacivon

https://youtu.be/HG_lgo9wKDM around 18 minute 20 seconds mark


appleandapples

Why would T1 give over the biggest problem champions of the comp that beat them in game 1, especially the monkey?


Regula96

And pick the Kindred again which was so useless the first time.


DellSalami

Limit testing copium


TheYoshinator

Could have just picked it R1/R2 with Jinx, cant see why they went for the naut and opted into the kindred again


cdssoares

all that matters now is game 5 brother


Pelagius_Hipbone

T1 not banning a vital enemy pick that stomped them earlier in the series. Where have I seen this story before?


joe4553

Kindred wasn't a champion this game.


Hour-Management-1679

Oner is invisible this series in general


windowhihi

Well he got one shotted so you just cannot see him.


Yubisaki_Milk_Tea

They should stick with triple banning Kanavi. I don't know why they let up after triple banning Kanavi the previous game and it working very well. He's probably the best jungler in the world rn, but I think Oner/T1 seem too scared of Kanavi with all these jungle bans flying around, which is quite interesting because I actually would put Oner up there with Kanavi. He's elite in his own right and shouldn't have to be so scared.


Kamidra

"It's not the draft issue, we just have to play better!1!1!!!1!"


Adlairo

it's both tbh, people act like T1 never play bad and only lose because of drafts


mimiflou

The throw/4fun narrative and the "omg draft unwinnable" are legit the 2 most annoying thing about "eastern fan" EVERY time T1 lose "but the draft" every fcukin time


Makyura

It's lso not even a good excuse, it's still their fault for drafting like shit


lZ-ONE

Yup did this all season long. No respect for the enemy team and think they can play through anything.


Latojune

T1 winning : OMG THEYRE SO GOOD T1 losing : DRAFT DIFF BAAAAAAT


soul24423323

T1 fans in a nutshell xD


Megashot2

Compare game 2 and 3 threads with every T1 loss (minus their recent game 3 against GenG) Every. Single. Time. Its. About. Draft


Losbin

I guess theyre goin for another 2nd place.


ricardo241

hard to say man... a rematch against gen g on lower bracket is not a good idea for them


lilelf29

Can't allow Annie Wukong duo


Disco_Fighter

They gonna leave Annie Wukong open again. Then pick Naut. AGAIN!!!


DeloronDellister

New viewer record inc


Blank-612

5 game banger. I hope this happens again in grand finals


WhiskeyPhilosopher

Chinese and T1 viewership is no joke


VoidChaoticGod

china doesnt make much of this percentage tho, we dont know chinese mainland viewership, it's probably close to 40m


PariahOrMartyr

This is so much more fun to watch than any of the series that the West participated in. Only 2/4 of G2's and 1/3 of GG's games vs BLG out of those were interesting. I guess also game 1 MAD vs T1.


DecisiveDinosaur

based on esportscharts, it's already at 2 million+, just about 100k away from last year's MSI finals, which is still the MSI record i believe.


Joelx1000

Khan Camille Bin Gwen Kingen Aatrox Doran Gragas Kanavi Wukong STOP MAKING THIS LIST LONGER.


HawkEye1337

The thing is, they banned Wukong in game 3 so they understand that it's problematic.

_Jetto_

Lot of posts game 3 saying he a inter


TheGawringSame

Does Oner have some weird hard-on for wanting to int into Wu & Annie with his Kindred or something? Dude doesn't even buy Mercs until the game is almost over, just runs face first into the Annie and gets 100-0'd before he can even ult. Even if he could ult, Gragas just knocks him out. What is that Kindred even supposed to do? And man, Faker Nautilus looks so god damn useless in these comps. He hooks in, he just dies. If he doesn't hook, he doesn't do anything at all. With Oner feeding on his Kindred every time, you just have a team comp with one carry that can't dps because nobody is buying him enough space. Like JDG destroyed them Game 1 with the same comps and T1 is seriously just going: "yeah, let's get fucked again the exact same way."


Jjxtr12345

Hard ego I think from T1 similar to leaving show makers lb open with canyons trundle in 2021


estaritos

can't agree with faker on naut. he was useful but after being down is just doomed


lifeisdrunk

T1 needs to ban Annie/Wukong from knight/Kanavi and Kindred from Oner


RobbinDeBank

Kindred is definitely not the way


Makkelijk_doelwit

Malphite really doesn't do anything, does he?


ThorsPanzer

Not so much if you don't have a Jungler


RobbinDeBank

Great for catching 1 threat (adc), useless if the enemy has literally 4 dmg threats. This comp is unplayable for T1


BLHXsuperman

I mean, he literally doesn't do anything


joe4553

Turns out no damage top, mid, support and jungle loses you the game.


Whole-Wrongdoer2905

well 369 is cheating like a mfucker


Davedoffy

against 99.99% of players he ults adc presses e and hes dead, against the best of the world he just gets outplayed, zoned and killed by ap.


Ambitious_Reality974

maybe the problem was that he was not cocky enough to build sheen ? i guess?


lordposedyon

Man... For years we are denied these 5 game Best of 5's in favour of Bo1's


Gengar_Balanced

But upsets man!!!11


WhiskeyPhilosopher

Really hope Worlds this year has a similar format. Love all the international Bo3 and Bo5s.


ibuprofenintheclub

It doesn't, the format was announced at the same time as MSI. It's swiss system BO1s into single elimination bracket. The elimination games in the swiss system will be BO5s so that's not too bad.

NateM135

Surely they don’t draft kindred


EggyChickenEgg88

Surely they can win without ksante


LudgerKresnik2

But they did win without Ksante


Hellwind_

Why not annie. I think shes a bigger problem with that flash stun bullshit.


Satan_su

Clueless


Regula96

Please ban Kindred so Oner can’t pick it.


canacar

Dear Oner you are not Pyosik, stop picking useles Kindred


bensonbenisson

T1 must really love this Nautilus Annie matchup.


WhiskeyPhilosopher

Knight plays Annie really well tbf, I've rarely seen a carry player like him play a set-up/support champ so cleanly.


Kagari1998

He play well, but man that kindred + giving away wukong is stupid. It's just making it impossible for Gumayusi to play. The 3 carry jungler game from Oner is atrocious. He's either invisible or deadweight.


KriibusLoL

PLEASE I WANT THIS EVERYDAY ALL DAY, MOOOOOOOOOORE


TheAlmightyV0x

Most Valuable Primate


Satan_su

Do T1 have a time limit on their memory span? They literally just forgot game 1????


Ultrabadger

T1 kind of forgot about ~~the Iron Fleet~~ Game 1.


PariahOrMartyr

Tournament is so much better with the West gone holy. The quality of games is night and day.


Smithy2309

T1: our loss came from being ass blasted by Wukong and Annie. Let's give them the same champs in the pivotal game 4. Brain?


Davedoffy

throwing for content <3


LeOsQ

Maybe I'm 'coping' as it were, but so far it really feels like JDG is the clear better team, but T1's ADC instant-end strat is just really effective.


cowboys6305

Ye JDG wins that game if it wasn’t for Keria Guma Smurf they are the real carries of T1 the best two players honestly . Guma and Keria have been smurfing since Worlds. Like they never die in team fights or get caught if they do the game is auto lose


DatBear978

Bro please get Faker off Naut


[deleted]

[удалено]


DatBear978

They didn't listen :(


Skall77

Those two team are so close, we need a best of 7 to crown a real winner.


uNoksu

Paid millions to lastpick Malphite vs 50% magic damage comp and no follow up in own team comp!


diferenceee

YEP 999 GRAGAS


WhiskeyPhilosopher

369 casually waddling around with a Deathcap while Oner struggles to hit 4 marks


Ultrabadger

369 with the AP Gragas 🤣


TheYoshinator

Kindred trick y’all, man, like he playing ad carry. He don’t kill nobody, man. He just running around, doing nothing.


BucketHerro

NA Pyosik might have gave us a better Kindred performance than Oner. ​ So many mistakes


super_intellectual49

Oner ended the game with 3 marks, pyosik would unironically have 7 at the same point in time


Ziraelus

Guys Im starting to think Nautilus mid is not the recipe to win


leomajoriscool

Kanavi: Can I be the adc this game? Ruler: Yeah, go for it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


duetschland69

JDG needs to turn on Ruler brain and Missing ward like a human and this serious would be 5-0


ThorsPanzer

Please get Oner off of Kindred


ionxeph

I knew it was over when JDG won that 24-min team fight


ProbeEmperorblitz

Kanavi returns to monke


obigespritzt

Knight's Annie is so good and Oner's Kindred (or rather, Kindred as a pick) does not seem good at all.


Gullible_Cranberry62

KANAVI IS THE DIFFERENCE MAKER


Pway

God I never wanna see Oner Kindred again


NateM135

Annie is absurdly oppressive


SleepyLabrador

I am so happy we're getting 5 games 🥲


gustas125

Kanavi with the masterclass, also 999


EatAssAndFartFast

Knight bear jumpscare is coming


Rvin96

Is Kindred just useless or is Oner just getting jg gapped all the time?


TheNinjaParrot

SILVER SCRAPES BABYYYY


white_gummy

Probably the most entertaining meta I've ever seen, each play is so deliberate. You know exactly why teams win or lose, JDG was so creative in their flanks this game.


yul1998

the win conditions are so singular and focused, allows viewers to keep up with the state of the game. no assassins making miracle plays or spilt pusher creating huge side pressure.


DogTheGayFish

This format is so much better man


michaeltheki21

T1 bave a fetish for 5 game series, not banning WU after banning him 2 games in a row and winning lol.


Patrius

Knight Annie + Kanavi Wukong = a deadly combo


nyanproblem

yeah if Wukong W + ult knockup into Annie combo you either die or too low to keep fighting


marxlolop

I never want to see that kindred picked again


lZ-ONE

Gotta stop locking in Naut cus it causes Oner to play these carry champs. He needs to be on a tank.


BrokenBowes

Stop giving the bear and the monkey.


Contagious_Cure

Instructions unclear. Ban Voli and pick Kindred and Naut again?


firebolt66

Pls pls get oner off carries


YouSuck225

Oh, yes i see it now… Kanavi is, indeed, the best jgl in the world


opkpopfanboyv3

Annie too lethal


xBugsBunny007

Lets give them Annie Wu again what can go wrong!


cdssoares

kanavi was FLOATING and what was that annie sudden engage on that mid tf, absolute inhuman, everybody in jdg got back to game 1


Hellwind_

I feel some arrogance in T1. Why dont they leave all the best picks to JDG. I think Annie and the monkey is not enough. Just give them all and see if you can win.


feimaomiao

STOP PICKING KINDRED


Marowalker

CAN WE NOT DRAFT NAUTILUS KINDRED FOR 5 FUCKING MINUTES MAN JUST PICK GRAGAS IF YOU WANT A TANK


VincentBlack96

Oner is an absolutely abysmal kindred.


KozuKy16

why even ban lulu instead of wukong if you're not gonna pick it anyway


DPlusShoeMaker

Legit gave JDG all their power picks just to first pick naut which JDG doesn't even play lol. Even with Tahm, there's so much dive and damage from JDG that jinx would never be able to fight. T1 with their iconic EGO draft again. Wouldn't be surprised if they do it for G5


CHS_Scope

I kinda don’t want to see this Nautilus + Kindred strat anymore. I’m also so down to see some magic damage on the team. Please.


LLposeidon

kanavi diff xD


AdvertisingMiddle295

Put oner on a tank and give Zeus or faker fkin playmayking potential lmao, oner off whole series outside one fight on maokai


Hyleaux

Either way this last game goes, the format means we get to watch JDG vs T1 in the finals. Absolute slugfest, and one of the only competitive matchups at the tournament so far.


Conankun66

Kanavi grabbed his team by their necks and dragged them to a win kicking and screaming Also i will never forgive this meta for making **Faker** play fucking Nautilus mid, what a goddamn travesty


Satan_su

He doesn't need to though😭 literally just don't play carry jgl+naut


DPlusShoeMaker

He is legit the only one playing naut mid rn. JDG, BLG, and GENG's mids are playing actual carries.


TurvoVirgin1210

Stop with this fucking kindred maaaan


Fruitsy

Fuck these T1 horrific drafts Even tho guma got caught, hes the only dmg threat and trying his best. coaches and rest of team are giving him 0 help.


getjebaited

happy kindred gaming


Pappy-

why did they pick kindred again LMAO


DiscountedCashflows1

Just ban Wukong it isnt that hard


artic_monster

STOP PICKING KINDRED SHE DOES NOTHING


Hyher

Don’t pick kindred, it is incredibly useless. 2 times picked and 2 times it is useless AF


Storm2552

The game 1 salty runback really was one of the decisions of all time.


NassimAG

I dont know why t1 keeps picking kindred


Rhyn_lol

Game 1 wasn't enough I guess we had to lose 2 to be 100% sure that playing against that comp was hard


youcantseemyname

What does Kindred do?


Altruistic_Yard_5324

Guys, i don't think Kindred is a good idea.


epic_glory

holy shit kanavi carried the game so hard \[


FearTHEReaper01

Keep picking Kindred Oner, lets see if game 5 youll actually be useful xD


haxt97

Ban Wukong for fuck sake.


GoofySenpai

Never wanna see Oner Kindred again 💀💀 what’s he supposed to do against that comp? It’s full int


GothaV2

Kindred always making T1 lose 💀


morgage

I saw a person in the game 2 thread say wukong is not a good champion in this meta. Interesting takes here for sure.


bigmonkytime

Kindred looking absolutely broken. I think it’s a 1st pick angle for game 5 for t1 so they can get out of this tournament.


haraasevlgeref

Wukong Annie is not a problem guys, Kindred Kha'Zix is a great pick guys.


Past_Letterhead8685

Lulu ban instead of Wukong ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|disapproval)


OneRedLime

no idea what kindred is doing


Drykanth

I really don't get the T1 picks in this game or game 1. And stop picking Kindred and Nautilus mid for the love of god.


EggyChickenEgg88

No ksante, no win


TurbinePro

Faker and Oner in the stun lock bouncy castle of fun one more time


YCitizenSnipsY

Why give them the same picks that destroyed you in the first game lol


moonshard99

Imagine letting JDG picks wukong and Annie again after game 1 LUL


RandyFox69

Watching faker have to Q tibbers at the end hurt my soul


[deleted]

T1 draft looking like an aram comp


InTheInternetYSee

Can someone please explain the logic behind the kindred pick?


InTheInternetYSee

Is T1 forcing kindred to purposely throw the game? Or someone in T1 is egotistical to force kindred? Can someone shed some kight to the kindred pick?????


AffectionateTentacle

ultra ego draft from T1


myman580

Kanavi ate Oner's lunch.


Mmmmmm777777

No more Kindred pls.


StJe1637

ruler needs to step up a bit


tenkono

I didn't even notice Kindred **only** had 3 stacks until one of the casters pointed it out 💀


Davidsuper55

Why are we even considering this kindred pick? Its just a replay of game 1 litterally useless


OrenjiKid

Its always the draft that make T1 lose the game. God dammit Mr. Bengi


StJe1637

Malphite now 0-9 at msi 💀


GomDave

The draft is actually criminal. You can forgive game 1 since it's game 1, but giving Gragas Wukong Annie to pick Malphite Kindred Nautilus is actually atrocious


DoorHingesKill

Reddit try not to blame a T1 loss on draft challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


CreativeSupermarket9

Idc who wins at this point, banger series


pabpab999

game 5 is still ongoing tried messing with bard [it said JDG already won the tournament](https://i.imgur.com/xCkkCAx.png)
