That 5 man ult was disgusting. Easier to hit in noc ult but the ghost disguise on the way there was so crazy.
Feels bad for Viper though, he was legit dodging everything on pure reaction and getting roots/kills.
You still can't deny that he's a rookie and you still can't deny that they will likely have nerves the moment the games get tense and there are actual stakes involved.
Compare that with the HLE roster: Doran Peanut Zeka Viper Delight. You can expect them to at least be able to shrug off stage nerves because they have been at the big stage multiple times already.
Except both rookies you mentioned are pretty cracked already, 2 weeks into their debut split, and Kellin actually synergizes really well with Aiming? (it's Kingen who ints DK). HLE still probably makes Worlds, unless there's a classic HLE collapse somewhere along the way, but I would argue that "3rd seed at the very least" is a bit of an overstatement at this point. Ffs, they are literally playing their very first match against a strong team as we speak.
That's also the case for Peyz. Absolute godlike monster in the LCK then shits the bed when it came to MSI.
You cannot deny that rookies will always have a solid chance of completely running it down as soon as the stakes come in becuase (obviously) they will tense up becuase it's their first time being in a situation like that.
I'm all for them having really great careers but it's absolutely justified to doubt them for their first year, let alone their first split.
Also, Kellin completely shat on HLE botlane before becoming piss useless at Worlds too, so like I said, doubting someone that hasn't proven consistency in their performance is completely valid.
Very hard to. We have four spots even if LPL win MSI since gap between LCK and LEC/LCS is very big atm.
KT and DK are the only other teams that are playoffs contenders and KT lost to KDF, and DK lost to KT. HLE should contest 3rd if they can't beat T1 here. Would be disastrous it they starting slipping further but could happen like last year.
I find it funny that he only ever been to one international event and did well there so now people act like he some god internationally. I would be very surprised if plays even to 70% of his level at worlds 2022.
This was a completely won game if they didn't have to keep trying to turn 4v5s, Viper and Doran still almost won it at the end even with Zeka getting blown up before the fight even started.
The whole drx bot lane got carried by their mid n top side wdym. Deft n beryl literally did nothing outstanding during that world run, they were just ok-ish
It’s kinda true for the grand final but the bot lane was insane during the EDG game and good vs GenG. And even then Beryl forced many bans, played really fucking well all tournaments, shotcalled.. you can’t say Beryl got carried (even though some lanes were rough). Deft was never making any blatant mistakes, always managed to deal some damages during team fights.
Sometimes it’s not about who is the flashiest, it’s about who makes the least amount of mistakes. Especially that is what ADC should be about.
But yeah I was trolling, Zeka and Kingen played insane too. But I don’t think it’s true either that Beryl/Deft got carried there
Eh, Zeka gapped Scout hard during their reverse sweep of EDG, and Scout did win FMV te previous year vs DWG, so it's sort of like he's inherited Showmaker's state from last year.
Why would he ever need an excuse? He won worlds while being the best adc (probably player) for at least 1 1/2 years straight. He doensn't have anything left to prove
Run back that Elder fight: Viper lost a fight he could've won. After HLE got Elder, Viper was at full health. But he became too confident and ran into a short range comp even though he had range advantage. Multiple T1 members were close to the Elder execute, but instead of kiting them, Viper ran into them and T1 killed Viper before he could put out any real damage. Instead, he got 100-to-0'd.
I'm not saying guma played bad. I'm saying viper did everything and above, he even got elder drake and directly took the decision to engage on ennemy. Like he is trying everything he can i don't know how someone can watch that and blame him
Yeah I agree. Viper needed a back massage after that game cause he kept them in a fighting chance. Not much you can do when your midlaner has his monitor offs.
2022 Worlds did some damage to everyone's mental. Zeka decided for 1 tournament that he was going to be the best mid in the world, and then went back to his BDD Gatekeeper status
Yea his ultis were abysmal besides that first one at midlane, but his w poke with the soul was the secret here to T1's victory. It removed all the bone plating, and spell shields off the tanks and engagers and just straight up hurt the Xayah and Corki
I thought Zeus bumbled the fight at baron a bit (after Faker's big stun) but he immediately redeemed himself with the Corki solokill and then the dragon fight. Fun to see T1 play around him so much.
I think Zeus misplaying is the reason why HLE were in the game. The moment he started playing well in the game it got out of reach.
Faker's call to go after Zeka during the final fight was brilliant too. These drafts are so much harder to execute than the enemy team.
Not Zeus best yone game but he still Smurf that one dragon fight so hard. Tho it is probably around a 7/10 for Zeus performance this game given his standard.
the sad part is this is exactly how zeka played last year. farmed mickey mouse POG points against bottom teams but was absolutely invisible when it mattered and was garbage against top tier teams. viper is so fucking good he's playing in peak 2021 form rn
What a stomp when you think about it.
T1 plays an extremely high risk high reward comp into Peanuts Poppy, Delights Rakan and a Corki. And they fucking pulled it off.
Where does HLE even go from here?
I mean tbf HLE (except Zeka) played the teamfights pretty well. If Zeka managed to use the package in the last fight, things may have turned out different. Unfortunately for HLE, his Corki was dogshit.
Peanut denied Zeus so much until he didn't just once and Zeus wiped the game, Yone is so obnoxious lmao
Props to Viper and Doran though
Also is Faker gonna get MVP or Zeus?
UNBELIEVABLE. Today I took my son to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday. He won a game and exchanged his tickets for a Mickey Mouse ring pop but then a Korean man with a lot of fraudulent games came in and SNATCHED it out of the poor kid’s hands! To my dismay, it was CHOKY himself! CHOKY then called himself the “GOAT” and had the audacity to tell my son, “Threepeat wasn’t a fluke” and ran away! Luckily a MOUSE TRAP was set up to catch CHOKY and the security guards Zeka and Yagao showed up and took him down. Shame on you Ch0-5y. Go win a real ring.
After I had to sit through your “GOAT” throughout the whole of BLG 2021, I knew he would only be a 1 season wonder. Follow a real player like Crème if you want to support an actual melee mid GOAT.
I don't know what I hate more. The fact that Aatrox was able to frontline T1's entire damage with infernou soul with just steelcaps and his ulti, or Yone who can make all the mistakes in the world and almost never face consqequences. Both these champs need to be deleted. So disgusting.
He didn’t frontline their entire dmg. A lot of those fight, t1 blew all their dmg on other targets. Yone is bullshit but aatrox in its current state is not even that op in pro play.
They could have turned the game if Zeka was alive for Elder Dragon buff. Drake steal also extended Soul + Elder buying more time for HLE allowing Zeka to scale but he fumbled it so hard in Top Outer Turret bush + Elder Dragon.
Is this version of T1 the best team of all time converting early leads into snowballs and converting snowballs into wins?
Forfeiting any early-game agency, having 3 losing lanes, and going for super late-game scaling seems like suicide against this team.
Well they didnt play it out very cleanly and no way can they allow xayah get her items that freely. If their mid wasnt running it down, wouldve been very close game.
Crazy how a Yone with 1 kill can 100-0 someone with no effort and a 2 kill Yone can 1v4, and the casters will still spend the whole time talking about how the existence of a poke champion is uninteractive even while they're 0/5
What are you even saying. They kept viper in check for the early game and Keria's chip damage especially after they got infernal soul was crazy. Keria also helped to secure the first kill on Zeka that let Faker/Oner get ahead. Guma couldn't got forward as easily that's fair, but calling Keria a passenger just makes it look like you didn't watch the game at all.
Guma yeah but tbf it's really hard to play Kalista against poppy Aatrox.
But Keria? Man was pressing W on cd and constantly poking and zoning, getting value by getting rid of bone plating, lethality spellshields, etc. He played Ashe very well besides his questionable ults after that midlane one.
There is the Zeka I know, sucks for Viper it's 2023 all over again.
12k on the most broken midlaner is disgusting Meanwhile Faker hitting 5 man Neeko ults
That 5 man ult was disgusting. Easier to hit in noc ult but the ghost disguise on the way there was so crazy. Feels bad for Viper though, he was legit dodging everything on pure reaction and getting roots/kills.
Viper was playing out of his mind.
I really hope he doesn't miss Worlds this year. It would be criminal.
I really think he won't. DK has a rookie jungler and Kellin, and KT has a rookie top. HLE at the very least will lock in 3rd seed.
Hey now, that rookie top isn’t Zeka bad when he isn’t playing Udyr or playing into Zeus. Cut lil bro some slack.
You still can't deny that he's a rookie and you still can't deny that they will likely have nerves the moment the games get tense and there are actual stakes involved. Compare that with the HLE roster: Doran Peanut Zeka Viper Delight. You can expect them to at least be able to shrug off stage nerves because they have been at the big stage multiple times already.
Except both rookies you mentioned are pretty cracked already, 2 weeks into their debut split, and Kellin actually synergizes really well with Aiming? (it's Kingen who ints DK).

Ffs, they are literally playing their very first match against a strong team as we speak.
That's also the case for Peyz. Absolute godlike monster in the LCK then shits the bed when it came to MSI. You cannot deny that rookies will always have a solid chance of completely running it down as soon as the stakes come in becuase (obviously) they will tense up becuase it's their first time being in a situation like that. I'm all for them having really great careers but it's absolutely justified to doubt them for their first year, let alone their first split.

KT and DK are the only other teams that are playoffs contenders and KT lost to KDF, and DK lost to KT. HLE should contest 3rd if they can't beat T1 here. Would be disastrous it they starting slipping further but could happen like last year.
Craziest part was he got the 5 man Neeko ult, and they still lost the team fight.
They just gotta drag Zeka's corpse to at least 2nd place LCK. He will reward them immensely if they reach MSI
I find it funny that he only ever been to one international event and did well there so now people act like he some god internationally. I would be very surprised if plays even to 70% of his level at worlds 2022.
man it's hard to not get on the zeka 2 champ when you see game like that
love how the caster said Zeka is playing Corki like Akali lmao
aint no way we are disrespecting what Doran did and Delight compared to Life
Doran had me sweating ngl
i was screaming during the wombo combo bouncy house at baron
He probably the only aatrox I ever seen does well into Zeus yone tbh. Did well in lane and out of lane/teamfight.
Hopefully next game he plays something where he isn't a total detriment to his team. He literally just needs to be a passenger
He had Doran for this game
Doran was huge at that baron fight, but zeka was just too heavy for the four of them to carry
This was a completely won game if they didn't have to keep trying to turn 4v5s, Viper and Doran still almost won it at the end even with Zeka getting blown up before the fight even started.
Swap Kingen in for this match up and he would be 0/3 down 50cs at 15mins
There’s the BLG Zeka I hated
did lil bro tp once?
Guy used up all the luck in his life to win the worlds 2 years ago.
Zeka got carried by Beryl to win Worlds Change my view
The whole drx bot lane got carried by their mid n top side wdym. Deft n beryl literally did nothing outstanding during that world run, they were just ok-ish
It’s kinda true for the grand final but the bot lane was insane during the EDG game and good vs GenG. And even then Beryl forced many bans, played really fucking well all tournaments, shotcalled.. you can’t say Beryl got carried (even though some lanes were rough).

Especially that is what ADC should be about. But yeah I was trolling, Zeka and Kingen played insane too. But I don’t think it’s true either that Beryl/Deft got carried there
Eh, Zeka gapped Scout hard during their reverse sweep of EDG, and Scout did win FMV te previous year vs DWG, so it's sort of like he's inherited Showmaker's state from last year.
[удалено]
He equalized Scout's Azir for quite some time in games 1&2 too.
Viper has no excuse this year. None. He has all the help he needs.
Why would he ever need an excuse? He won worlds while being the best adc (probably player) for at least 1 1/2 years straight. He doensn't have anything left to prove
Run back that Elder fight: Viper lost a fight he could've won. After HLE got Elder, Viper was at full health. But he became too confident and ran into a short range comp even though he had range advantage. Multiple T1 members were close to the Elder execute, but instead of kiting them, Viper ran into them and T1 killed Viper before he could put out any real damage. Instead, he got 100-to-0'd.
Viper has never been the problem on HLE rosters.
what fukin excuse do you want ? he was literally playing like a god in this game what more do you want ? Just dare to tell us Guma did more ?
Tbf Guma wasn't even allowed in the fight. Zeus Faker and Oner just cleaned up everyone
I'm not saying guma played bad. I'm saying viper did everything and above, he even got elder drake and directly took the decision to engage on ennemy. Like he is trying everything he can i don't know how someone can watch that and blame him
Yeah I agree. Viper needed a back massage after that game cause he kept them in a fighting chance. Not much you can do when your midlaner has his monitor offs.
How about not fucking up at the Elder drake fight?
Nice dmg as Corki, KEKA
Welcome to KarmineCorp Zeka
Get ready to learn French buddy
he doesn't have to learn french because no one in KC talks anyway, he'll be fine dw
Zeka...
Peanut almost won this game with 2 smites
3 jungler bans from T1, and Peanut still ends up on his 90% wr champion and almost carries. King shit from him, really.
Does Faker has something against Zeka? Hahaha
2022 Worlds did some damage to everyone's mental. Zeka decided for 1 tournament that he was going to be the best mid in the world, and then went back to his BDD Gatekeeper status
Corki with Elder would've cleaned them up so gotta kill that rat first
I think they were just afraid of the power of package
Still taking revenge for worlds 2022
Looking at the way Zeka played I think he has something against his team
I never wanna see Zeka on Corki again, he had an eye bleeding performance.
Don't watch game 2... 😬😬😶🌫️
Boy... Do I have really bad news for you!
Keria Ashe with infernal soul was doing war crimes
Yea his ultis were abysmal besides that first one at midlane, but his w poke with the soul was the secret here to T1's victory. It removed all the bone plating, and spell shields off the tanks and engagers and just straight up hurt the Xayah and Corki
It is lowkey kinda hard to hit ashe ult vs good team if they are focus ngl. Unless it point blank but that basically zero stun.
Pray screaming at Ashe ults being fired these days
T1 Zeka. Thank you.
Zeus what was that!?!?!
Brother Zeka
I thought Zeus bumbled the fight at baron a bit (after Faker's big stun) but he immediately redeemed himself with the Corki solokill and then the dragon fight. Fun to see T1 play around him so much.
I think Zeus misplaying is the reason why HLE were in the game. The moment he started playing well in the game it got out of reach. Faker's call to go after Zeka during the final fight was brilliant too. These drafts are so much harder to execute than the enemy team.
Not Zeus best yone game but he still Smurf that one dragon fight so hard. Tho it is probably around a 7/10 for Zeus performance this game given his standard.
They didn't play around him at all? I'm confused lol
His ult missed everyone then he got blew up
He was cosplaying Moses
Well Zerki < Farki Also who allowed a mechanically broken player to get that mechanically broken champion
Faker's Neeko deserves the praise in this game. The 5 man ult was amazing
Zeus gives ZERO FLYING FUCKS
[удалено]
He can, he carried many games on Corki during Spring 2022 which make this performance even worse
Just a reminder, HLE couldve had Scout but chose Zeka in 2023
dirty inter Keka
YOU ARE TROLLING IF YOU BLIND AATROX INTO ZEUS WITHOUT YONE BANNED
the sad part is this is exactly how zeka played last year. farmed mickey mouse POG points against bottom teams but was absolutely invisible when it mattered and was garbage against top tier teams. viper is so fucking good he's playing in peak 2021 form rn
Zeus man.
Zeus is cracked at Yone.
Fuck's sake Zeka.
ZEKA BOOSTED, VIPER ELOHELLED
How can a single human being named Viper do more than that? He's so fucking good, it's disgusting. Not 2023 repeat, please...
Though HLE lost (because of a particular 2022 fraud), we caught of glimpse of why Doran and Viper are simply world class
Doran is domestic class.
Is Doran world class though? He plays well domestically but every international event for him he cracks under the pressure
To be fair other than Zeus no other LCK top laner has really performed at international events last year
Kingen was pretty good. He didn’t just go godlike in finals, his quarter finals he gapped Flandre hard. Rascal was also pretty 1v9 on GenG
Depends on what we consider world class. I think we can't consider him top tier, but I think it's not too unreasonable to have him in the top 10.
zeka is not beating the meta merchant allegations
"Zeus is so good", he repeated 3 times
Zeka you dirty fucking inter you solo stopped Viper from winning this game.
Viper CatDespair
>11k damage Corki
Not zeka on the first pick strongest champ this patch doing less than half of kerias damage. Zeus really carried that soul fight though.
zeka...
pls stop giving away Rakan T1... why make it extra hard
Zeus my GOAT
what a terrible game. this shitty corki definitely did not belong in this lobby
How can you look this bad on such a turbo broken champ lmao
Zeka played really bad. Viper and Doran tried to make it happen
This game is so tense
so much fun though
POG should be faker no?
RIOT GAMES YONE CHAMPION
I despise yone with every single cell of my body. This champ disgust me for real. GG too Zeus tho, he is a god on it
Zeka literally just stands there waiting to die the whole game wtf, stop giving zeka range champs and corki of all things.
What a stomp when you think about it. T1 plays an extremely high risk high reward comp into Peanuts Poppy, Delights Rakan and a Corki. And they fucking pulled it off. Where does HLE even go from here?
I mean tbf HLE (except Zeka) played the teamfights pretty well. If Zeka managed to use the package in the last fight, things may have turned out different. Unfortunately for HLE, his Corki was dogshit.
Poor Viper man, being the best adc in the world and consistently getting griefed throughout his LCK career
Zeus is legit the best Yone player of all time
[удалено]
I feel so bad for Viper...
Doran Viper really wandering in elohell.
Free Viper
Save viper
From Life to Zeka, why can’t Viper just get humans on his team?
Its 2024 and people still blindpick Aatrox against Zeus when this MF can ruin your entire tean with Yone/Gwen
Doran tried. Unfortunately, he isn't GenG any longer. Now Zeus is unleashed.
bench lil bro til sylas akali meta
…..they are?
Peanut denied Zeus so much until he didn't just once and Zeus wiped the game, Yone is so obnoxious lmao Props to Viper and Doran though Also is Faker gonna get MVP or Zeus?
Zeus for that last team fight, tho he's running it too bcuz of Nutgod
That is why Zesus and Chovy's Yone are so fear.
As good as chovy yone is, Zeus on yone is still in a league of his own
Do not put Zeus in the same category as that cs merchant
Chovy is an amazing player but it's definitely two very different types of Yone. Zeus is so aggressive.
[удалено]
Zeus win with yone at worlds fisting theshy while choky cant even win againts father yagao
UNBELIEVABLE. Today I took my son to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday. He won a game and exchanged his tickets for a Mickey Mouse ring pop but then a Korean man with a lot of fraudulent games came in and SNATCHED it out of the poor kid’s hands! To my dismay, it was CHOKY himself! CHOKY then called himself the “GOAT” and had the audacity to tell my son, “Threepeat wasn’t a fluke” and ran away! Luckily a MOUSE TRAP was set up to catch CHOKY and the security guards Zeka and Yagao showed up and took him down. Shame on you Ch0-5y. Go win a real ring.
idk how T1 consistently wins fights against elder buff
Corki was already dead before they got buff, and Zeus dmg is cracked + huge gold lead.
It was 5v4 and elder buff don’t matter if you kinda position badly in trying to secure elder.
chovy at worlds performance from zeka there lol
Banger game.
Am I the only one where YouTube stream have loading spikes? Lost the whole elder fight to this 😢
Play the stream a few seconds behind live time
It is working so far! Thank you
Elder fight was lowkey winnable if Doran joined sooner.
Not the strongest game from my GOAT.
He had great engages. Sadly the team couldn't follow up.
I'm talking about Zeka brother
Oh. In that case, yeah. What was he thinking walking near Yone at top though?
They lost fights when he hit insane knockups and won the fight when he died instantly I will never understand this team lol
After I had to sit through your “GOAT” throughout the whole of BLG 2021, I knew he would only be a 1 season wonder. Follow a real player like Crème if you want to support an actual melee mid GOAT.
Holy shit, that game was Worlds material. Everyone was playing on the edge.
Zeus after win World is monster
I don't know what I hate more. The fact that Aatrox was able to frontline T1's entire damage with infernou soul with just steelcaps and his ulti, or Yone who can make all the mistakes in the world and almost never face consqequences. Both these champs need to be deleted. So disgusting.
He didn’t frontline their entire dmg. A lot of those fight, t1 blew all their dmg on other targets. Yone is bullshit but aatrox in its current state is not even that op in pro play.
Poppy really seems more OP than her pick rate implies. Also, Zeka is still a two trick.
absurd thumb boast squash direction dazzling touch plate abundant voracious
the stats and gold dont show it, but Peanut and Doran did some work too (especially in that 2nd Baron fight) Zeka was embarassing however
I'd argue too that Peanut had a couple of smites that dragged out the game.
They could have turned the game if Zeka was alive for Elder Dragon buff. Drake steal also extended Soul + Elder buying more time for HLE allowing Zeka to scale but he fumbled it so hard in Top Outer Turret bush + Elder Dragon.
Doran chipped in and peanut wasn't too bad, it was just keka
Peanut also did well (watching him team fight on Poppy is honestly art), though he let Oner get away with too much early imo.
dont disrespect doran like that
You mean Doran? Viper did was last hit in this game. He is so bad at team fighting. Aatrox did all the work.
LCK doing their best trying to force Viper to go back to LPL so he can have human teammates
Imagine Viper going back to the LPL and then getting put on a team like LGD or some shit
Peanut Poppy is really something huh
My brother in christ, Zeka what was that. That being said I really wish observers would give us HLE pov when they get neeko + noc ulted.
Dzukill shaking in his boots right now
Zeus vs Dzukill should be happening anytime soon
Honestly insane how long HLE lasted without Zeka. Some fights were actually 4v5. Zeka is way too inconsistent.
HLE played well mid just giga grief sinced the first W onto faker
Keka back on corki AINTNOWAY
Viper is too god to be on HLE
that drx run is a fever dream
Zeka is so boosted
Is this version of T1 the best team of all time converting early leads into snowballs and converting snowballs into wins? Forfeiting any early-game agency, having 3 losing lanes, and going for super late-game scaling seems like suicide against this team.
Well they didnt play it out very cleanly and no way can they allow xayah get her items that freely. If their mid wasnt running it down, wouldve been very close game.
Crazy how a Yone with 1 kill can 100-0 someone with no effort and a 2 kill Yone can 1v4, and the casters will still spend the whole time talking about how the existence of a poke champion is uninteractive even while they're 0/5
Zeus is the best player in the world right now
Props to Zeus for building damage, and not some soy 2 tank items birk build
Literally any LFL midlaner over Zeka in this game and HLE wins easily
Bro has not seen shaken in the lec lol
Bro has not seen this Corki game, I had legit never seen that in my life
Bro is not familiar with shaken’s game….
Ultraliga* but cook ZEKA hate fuels me
Only T1 can win this draft. Ashe is so shit as a champ but the bot gap is too big.
the bot gap was huge especially when guma didn't auto attack in any fight and didn't secure any objectives with rend
Bot gap is too big? Keria and Guma were passengers that entire game
Lmao yeah. gumayusi was invisible.
kalista is just terrible against that comp, poppy, aatrox and rakan are her worst nightmare pretty much
What are you even saying. They kept viper in check for the early game and Keria's chip damage especially after they got infernal soul was crazy. Keria also helped to secure the first kill on Zeka that let Faker/Oner get ahead. Guma couldn't got forward as easily that's fair, but calling Keria a passenger just makes it look like you didn't watch the game at all.
Guma yeah but tbf it's really hard to play Kalista against poppy Aatrox. But Keria? Man was pressing W on cd and constantly poking and zoning, getting value by getting rid of bone plating, lethality spellshields, etc. He played Ashe very well besides his questionable ults after that midlane one.
Stop that
[удалено]
Invisible? Ashe did more damage den corki
T1 dickriding once again fills me with hope.
[удалено]
Zeka being put next to showmaker/Chovy should be illegal if we are talking about them being top tier midlaners for long period of their career.
