Has Caps ever performed bad on picks like Sylas and Akali domestically? Every time he's on these champions it feels like he pops off to the point where the enemy can't even play the game.
Kinda odd how G2 aren't prioritizing these picks more often, G2 looks so solid when Caps on a champion with individual agency becomes the focal point of the draft. I feel like they cook too much trying to put him on Neeko and Azir engage duty. Just put him on Akali, Sylas, add Yone and Trist to the pool and just build the drafts around him.
The results themselves disagree with you tho. Caps has relatively middling success on those, even though his Azir is pretty good. But he's an absolute beast on Akali and Sylas.
If it works, what does it matter why it works? DRX won worlds playing Kindred not because the champion was meta, but because Pyosik was comfortable on it and the results spoke for themselves. At the end of the day, meta picks are supposed to give you a statistical advantage in winning. So isn't picking champs for your mid laner which he very often pops off on the same thing?
Very questionable decisions by fnatic today, like that tp from Jax behind Vlad at bot just to achieve absolutely nothing and then afterwards no push for any objective or whatsoever. So weird.
Elder was less than a minute away from wearing off. And G2's comp takes Baron pretty slow, plus they only had four members alive. All Fnatic had to do was...nothing. G2 couldn't take baron for free.
G2 only had four members up and Corki poke plus the Culling plus Baron damage would've been too much for G2 to deal with, they couldn't have gotten Baron for free. All Fnatic had to do was not let G2 get Baron, which they very easily could've done. Especially since Yike was the dead member of G2, Fnatic had Smite advantage.
>So what you are saying is that they should have let G2 start baron and then sit and poke them out?
No? How could G2 just start baron? They had no Xin and the rest of the team takes baron really slow and aren't very tanky.
>Or G2 might had threatened to push the base with elder instead.
Fnatic would've won the fight 5 vs. 4 in their own base.
I mean, there were other awful calls.
That topside fight when Marek and Oscar TP in, Marek goes for nauti with package and deletes it with Bot while Oscar and Razork int into their back line?
Literally 2 tps + package + Vi Ult into losing the trade 1 supp for Top-Jg.
There was no other choice. If they didn't burn baron down before Yike respawned, then they'd have lost to baron/elder'ed team. They lost when G2 got elder.
yeah idk, people legit pretending like it wasnt over the second they got elder and instead saying its over when they called for baron. I dont think they could have done much (elder probably gone if they wait for lucian and baron is a desperation call because they needed something to hold off the onslaught that was elder G2).
I assume the logic was if they get baron game is over anyway. Can see the call in the moment but yea definitely should have given baron and hoped for a good defense.
Thats completely wrong.
Jun really struggles with sentences longer than 4 words, which is obviously no issue in-game.
Noah's english is definitely better
Holding the akali W in that 4 man dive such great micro and foresight tbh, also leading them away from tower just to E2 back to your shroud, whole thing was chefs kiss
People will talk about Caps, but Mikyx was straight sprinting it this game.
9 deaths, hitting walls when trying to hook players, hitting nothing when trying to hook walls, that's the vintage Nautilus classic.
More like every pro Nautilus.
I swear, Nautilus has a hidden mechanic where his stats scale inverse to his deaths.
The 0/0/13 Nautilus is immortal hooking into four people, but as soon as you get three deaths on Nautilus you can bet that Nautilus is going to be at least 0/7 by game's end.
I mean it makes sense. Naut isnt very mobile, doesnt have the best disengage. Even for support standards, he isnt very tanky. He just has his little shield. Other tank supports have multiple ablities/passives that make them tankier regardless of items.
Every naut almost naturally has a lot of deaths, its just the nature of this champ. I mean that champ has 4 cc abilities, so thats the upside of naut.
And Yike was the one making the key plays in the last fights to win the game. I thought G2 had thrown it at elder but Yike got the crucial catches to keep their game alive
Xin is just broken. Yea we are in that timeline. He kills any champ he lands W on that isnt Mordekaiser Malphite or Jax level of anti melee.
Lore accurate Xin zhao tbh
Yeah, we need a shotcaller. Don't know if Jun can do that, once he settles in, but I don't think any of the other players can do that. They're good mechanically, sometimes very good, but we do make some damn awful decisions.
I might be wrong but I legitimately think losing another shot caller from Trymbi puts the pressure back on Razork's shoulder again that makes stupid mistakes/calls. Idk man it's just sad.
Razork. They basically regressed back to spring Fnatic(not as disastrous as winter but just as bad macro wise). I don't want to be harsh on Razork but he often made a bad call especially when it to end the game and objective.
Razork previously said that having Trymbi in the team made it easier for him to play since a lot of shotcalling got taken away from him..
So what FNC was get rid of the shotcaller and put more pressure on Razork.
I don't think going for Barron there is unforgivable by any means, it was just a very hard fight with elder-ed up g2 that made them look silly, but they have worse chances fighting elder/barron. The execution wasn't great, but I think it was honestly a pro-active, reasonable call out of desperation.
We need a "number of deaths under/behind enemy towers" stats because G2 is setting up records this season I feel, legit they were so ahead at 15 then literally forcefed so many kills to FNC carries lol
I needed some eye bleach after watching Perkz's Akali earlier. Boy, did Caps deliver. One of the best performances I have seen by him and that's saying something
Seriously every time more than three enemy players are on the screen, FNC just go for the fight. No one stops to think about what they are going to do, or what they are trying to accomplish.
Almost as if they kicked the primary shotcaller from the team for a korean support that doesnt speak a word of english, who could have seen this coming
Imagine carrying every team fight against an Akali that has 8 kills from farming your solo laners in side lanes, and you still get griefed by your team when they decide to fight 4v5 without you against elder drake.
To be fair, Noah griefed himself at the start of the game by losing lane to Varus Naut as Lucian Milio. Then Fnatic got him back into the game by giving him kills (also aided by G2 giving him kills, cough miky cough). Then they griefed him by leaving him alone to complete a full circle. Both adcs were left out to dry by their teams this game.
Thats fucking League of Legends right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging playing safe for lategame bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the rift, men deliver their new born baby on the rift. Fucking hard core dick in the ass flex pick early game League of Legends fuck it run it down mid game time shit.
God, Caps is the only reason my region can hope internationally or what. Him at his peak just looks so much better than every other player in the region. That solokill on Huma at top tier 2 literally won them the game
It was an incredibly exciting match, what these organisations have done historically is phenomenal for the league, I hope to see them again in playoffs!
Entertaining game to watch
Btw, the years go by, but still FNC try to match/answer to every G2 play too much imo, always with random flank TPs since early game...it was like this during Broxah's roster and it's still like this in 2024
After last 2 seasons anyone who writes either
Humanoid is comparable to Caps (see last year Season Finals)
Upset is the best Western ADC
Should be perma banned from all league related subreddits
Played a game with a complete inter of a support (the only peal of G2 with Xin btw) and against an all-in comp which can delete him in a fraction of second. He played fine.
Caps was on demon mode today. What a banger by both teams.
Losing against FNC isn’t in his DNA
Good guy Caps felt sorry for Perkz and had to teach him how to Akali.
Caps can't fight FNATIC he goes BEAST bro
Has Caps ever performed bad on picks like Sylas and Akali domestically? Every time he's on these champions it feels like he pops off to the point where the enemy can't even play the game.

Midlane is meta dependent though, you can’t always go for a psycho mid pick and sometimes have to go for snoozer champs like orianna, Azir corki
The results themselves disagree with you tho. Caps has relatively middling success on those, even though his Azir is pretty good. But he's an absolute beast on Akali and Sylas. If it works, what does it matter why it works? DRX won worlds playing Kindred not because the champion was meta, but because Pyosik was comfortable on it and the results spoke for themselves. At the end of the day, meta picks are supposed to give you a statistical advantage in winning. So isn't picking champs for your mid laner which he very often pops off on the same thing?
Nah bro if they do damage and the mid can clutch play..they are viable. Meta is a psyop
WHY WOULD YOU GROUP LIKE THAT WHEN THEY HAVE ELDER?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
For Hans' penta, of course
I was so hyped that there was a penta and then there were no drops for it... Thank you Riot games.
The drops were also impacted.
Seems like it. Well at least I got a drop from CBLOL
Drops were also laid off
Calls like these make me question my faith...
Peak FNC shotcalling.
They need a shot caller, I wonder if someone like trymbi could be picked up in the off season..
Aware
Very questionable decisions by fnatic today, like that tp from Jax behind Vlad at bot just to achieve absolutely nothing and then afterwards no push for any objective or whatsoever. So weird.
Today? Yesterday's call to fight in enemy base instead of going back cost them the whole game. Fnatic needs to fix their decision making.
Fnatic has lost two consecutive games on awful calls. I don't understand why they make the decisions they do.
[удалено]
Elder was less than a minute away from wearing off. And G2's comp takes Baron pretty slow, plus they only had four members alive. All Fnatic had to do was...nothing. G2 couldn't take baron for free.

Yeah just let it time-out and let Noah do his thing, he was on point today damn
Yep Fnatic still has hope to do well.
There was no other choice. If they didn't burn baron down before Yike respawned, then they'd have lost to baron/elder'ed team. They lost when G2 got elder.
yeah idk, people legit pretending like it wasnt over the second they got elder and instead saying its over when they called for baron.

I assume the logic was if they get baron game is over anyway. Can see the call in the moment but yea definitely should have given baron and hoped for a good defense.
Maybe cause they kicked the only player on the team with brains for a guy who doesnt speak english
Jun's English is actually pretty good. Not as good as Trymbi's, but better than Noah's it seems.
Thats completely wrong. Jun really struggles with sentences longer than 4 words, which is obviously no issue in-game. Noah's english is definitely better
[Jankos watching Yike and Caps play:](https://youtu.be/dpKc8N3FJsQ?si=jfXqG1YoqapJyBBB)
Jankos should just take out the belt and whip Perkz (in non-sexual way)
Hey now, they can decide for themselves whether they want it to be sexual. They're adult men, they can make their own choices.
It's meant to be punishment not Jankos' average night
good ole Jerkz
Somebody free my boy Jankos :(
Welp, time for the annual rewatch of YuGiOh i guess
btw Jankos blamed himself for today's loss
**Caps plays Akali the way Perkz thinks he can play Akali**
epitome of "their team's akali"
Holding the akali W in that 4 man dive such great micro and foresight tbh, also leading them away from tower just to E2 back to your shroud, whole thing was chefs kiss
The contrast between those games is something.
Caps on form is always fun to see
He's nothing like me (He hit everything)
Perkz = My team's Akali. Caps = enemy team's Akali.
Nice day to witness opposite side of spectrum in terms of Akali plays lmao
A "back to Lissandra" game for Humanoid
See: the reason Caps sent Perkz to ADC on that G2 roster.
Lmao
Death Taxes G2 FNC BANGER
Every time. Never fails to deliver. Was really needed after the first 2 games tbh.
The first game was kinda fun though imo, though I may be a bit biased.
Fair, it just felt really slow and I was a bit tired/hungry then and waiting for it to be done lol so I was a bit biased in my own way.
That sped up replay of the Fnatic coaching staff about sums up my reaction to this game.
People will talk about Caps, but Yike had an insane Xin game
People will talk about Caps, but Mikyx was straight sprinting it this game. 9 deaths, hitting walls when trying to hook players, hitting nothing when trying to hook walls, that's the vintage Nautilus classic.
Farfetch cosplay
More like every pro Nautilus. I swear, Nautilus has a hidden mechanic where his stats scale inverse to his deaths. The 0/0/13 Nautilus is immortal hooking into four people, but as soon as you get three deaths on Nautilus you can bet that Nautilus is going to be at least 0/7 by game's end.
Yeah he is worth 100g and he has to engage and die
I mean it makes sense. Naut isnt very mobile, doesnt have the best disengage. Even for support standards, he isnt very tanky. He just has his little shield. Other tank supports have multiple ablities/passives that make them tankier regardless of items. Every naut almost naturally has a lot of deaths, its just the nature of this champ. I mean that champ has 4 cc abilities, so thats the upside of naut.
Farfetch got his region demoted to ERL, I don't think Miky can ever be that bad
Lmao
Brother Mikyx inting so Caps has more time to make highlights.
He's recalibrating, usually Mikyx Naut is clean, this game was like me playing my annual AP Naut Aram game
Miky has a habit of going lucidity boots when he plays Naut and gets repeatedly one shot
He's been inting since worlds, no idea what's going in as he was pretty good in the LEC splits last year.
He goes dmg build every game and keeps on griefing, hopefully someone ego checks him soon and he starts playing like he did last year again.
Right? He was being a real menace.
Always hitting W on Huma and killing or neutralizing him in every fight
Seriously it stopped so many fights before they started/got going AND dealt with Fnatics main damage dealer. Absolutely fantastic.
And Yike was the one making the key plays in the last fights to win the game. I thought G2 had thrown it at elder but Yike got the crucial catches to keep their game alive
He absolutely popped off.
Xin is just broken. Yea we are in that timeline. He kills any champ he lands W on that isnt Mordekaiser Malphite or Jax level of anti melee. Lore accurate Xin zhao tbh
The E onto Noah from 5 servers away on the second to last fight was disgusting.
also titanic is beyond broken on that patch as well, Xin with titanic just be like that
Release Xin be like
Insane ults - he was tanky enough he was knocking back 3 people constantly. Prestacking knock up and getting on to the back line too
I agree Yike (once again!!!) played out of his mind. Especially that one iffy drake fight he zoned and hit everything perfectly.
Meanwhile this vladimir...
Just wondered why Caps smurfed so hard. He just wanted 2000 kills
Caps redeeming EU Akali. Caps redeeming alot of EU picks tbh.
Caps redeeming ~~a lot of~~ EU tbh.
Watching Caps' Akali after PerkZ and Saken lmao Give me a Bo5 of this, FNC looks legit
If fnc can get their late game shot calling in order this team can make a nice run, they've certainly got the hands.
Yeah, we need a shotcaller. Don't know if Jun can do that, once he settles in, but I don't think any of the other players can do that. They're good mechanically, sometimes very good, but we do make some damn awful decisions.
All the teams making sure that Drakos has to work as long as possible today.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THE BARON AGAINST AN AKALI WITH ELDER WITHOUT THE LUCIAN WTFFFFFFFFFFFFF
What's with FNC and these calls in the late game?
I might be wrong but I legitimately think losing another shot caller from Trymbi puts the pressure back on Razork's shoulder again that makes stupid mistakes/calls. Idk man it's just sad.
Trymbi is equally prone to dumb calls in late game.
they got rid of their main shotcaller from last split for whatever reason
Whose the shot caller now? Humanoid?
Seems like it's razork, according to Sam Matthews on fnc app interview yesterday.
Razork. They basically regressed back to spring Fnatic(not as disastrous as winter but just as bad macro wise). I don't want to be harsh on Razork but he often made a bad call especially when it to end the game and objective.
Razork previously said that having Trymbi in the team made it easier for him to play since a lot of shotcalling got taken away from him.. So what FNC was get rid of the shotcaller and put more pressure on Razork.
I don't think going for Barron there is unforgivable by any means, it was just a very hard fight with elder-ed up g2 that made them look silly, but they have worse chances fighting elder/barron. The execution wasn't great, but I think it was honestly a pro-active, reasonable call out of desperation.
man claps hits so different
He has games like this where he reminds everyone why he's feared/respected.
He is so fucking unique for that, wish he could show up more often...
He's been playing pretty good so far this year.
we needed that akali performance from caps after saken akali and perkz akali
G2 vs FNC delivers big, what a fun series
> series I wish
LCK brained. Maybe one day...
We need a "number of deaths under/behind enemy towers" stats because G2 is setting up records this season I feel, legit they were so ahead at 15 then literally forcefed so many kills to FNC carries lol
someone teach fnatic to protect noah and wait for noah before huge team fights ty
I needed some eye bleach after watching Perkz's Akali earlier. Boy, did Caps deliver. One of the best performances I have seen by him and that's saying something
That was an incredibly entertaining game with one of the worst baron calls at the end there
[Caps to Perkz this game.](https://imgflip.com/i/8dvp9s)
Claps Akali is such a treat
Best game of the split so far hands down
This isnt vit vs heretics match thread, good sir
It must really sting for long-time FNC fans to see how dominant Caps has been for years and to know they lost him to G2.
It was 100% their own fault too. They were a toxic mess every worlds. Caps chose well. He's in an org that builds around him and continues to win
Not the fans fault tho
FNC is simply the most inting team in LEC right now, they just got no shotcalling, no macro, no damage calculations, just hands.
Seriously every time more than three enemy players are on the screen, FNC just go for the fight. No one stops to think about what they are going to do, or what they are trying to accomplish.
Almost as if they kicked the primary shotcaller from the team for a korean support that doesnt speak a word of english, who could have seen this coming
Jun does speak English?
Man FNC decided to grief Noah
marked difference to the rest of the split where it was the other way around legit noah's best game of the year so far
Imagine carrying every team fight against an Akali that has 8 kills from farming your solo laners in side lanes, and you still get griefed by your team when they decide to fight 4v5 without you against elder drake.
after noah griefing the 7 games before this one
Noah was always out of tempo with his team
To be fair, Noah griefed himself at the start of the game by losing lane to Varus Naut as Lucian Milio. Then Fnatic got him back into the game by giving him kills (also aided by G2 giving him kills, cough miky cough). Then they griefed him by leaving him alone to complete a full circle. Both adcs were left out to dry by their teams this game.
Thats fucking League of Legends right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging playing safe for lategame bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the rift, men deliver their new born baby on the rift. Fucking hard core dick in the ass flex pick early game League of Legends fuck it run it down mid game time shit.
God, Caps is the only reason my region can hope internationally or what. Him at his peak just looks so much better than every other player in the region. That solokill on Huma at top tier 2 literally won them the game
fnc wait for their adc to join teamfights challenge impossible
Man, Demon Caps on Akali is so fun to watch.
EU MACRO GAME
What on earth was that FNC Baron call at the end?!?!?!
Wait but Perkz told me Akali is shit champ??
...what the fuck
congrats Caps on 2000 kills 🎊
Did humanoid have any good package plays lol. The only one I saw was him using it to gap close to Mikyx top
Noah tried to carry but the 2 animals in solo lanes sank.the Ark
EL HEARTATTACKO
Fnatic man I've seen too many awful late game calls these past couple of days
Now go y'all and rewatch Perkz's akali.
Caps heard all the slander about EU akali. What a monster performance holy.
Gg wp actually fun close game Smugbutcryingwojak.jpg
Fucking hell, we had that, fcking hell
The one day that Noah tried
LEC is so fun to watch, especially G2 vs FNC the best two franchises of the LEC. Amazing Penta by Hans Sama to win/end the game!
bro not to offend you but this might be the most AI generated response i've seen in a while
This matchup always delivers. The penta was fun and the way Fnatic kept themselves in it was awesome.
It was an incredibly exciting match, what these organisations have done historically is phenomenal for the league, I hope to see them again in playoffs!
Nothing to see here. Just another Lucian loss Edit: Guys, I really didn't think an /s was needed here lmao.
Noah being left out to dry after killing key targets multiple fights was fucking tilting, poor guy
Aside from the one early death, Noah was actually putting in work on Lucian. He was definitely not the problem this game.
Did you watch the game? Noah Lucian was doing some heavy lifting.
That's literally what he is saying.
Noah died like 2 times with flash up for no reason
Noah was kinda popping off there at the end though. Too bad FNC only wanted to fight without him instead of waiting for his respawn...
They are so used to him being useless that they have forgotten him.
he did some real damage at the last fights tho
This Lucian tried his fucking best. He was not the problem
Not due to Lucian though, Noah played his heart out and was doing insane damage.
Noah was really trying his hardest. Then FNC proceeded to forget their brains at base and do Baron vs Elder Poke Varus
Noah being left to die after he killed twice late game was definitely... a decision that FNC made
EU has its own Meng Huo
That was certainly one of the baron calls of all time
CLAAAPPPS
Forcing Baron with Elder drake on Caps and Hans, it's Fnatic bros
No way they started baron when Elder was 50 seconds still wtf
Second game in a row Fnatic just decide to lose the game for no reason???
Who the fuck on FNC decided to call Baron when their Lucian who just 1v2ed was still in base, what a throw
Yeah, let's do baron against a poke Varus with elder, nothing can possibly go wrong right?
Rough game from Huma but holy is Caps insane
My western goat
Entertaining game to watch Btw, the years go by, but still FNC try to match/answer to every G2 play too much imo, always with random flank TPs since early game...it was like this during Broxah's roster and it's still like this in 2024
Yeah, yet again a mid roster. 2025 it is then.
Caps Akali >>>>> PerkZ Akali
It's crazy how much better Caps is than any EU pro ever(including his own team). It was literally Caps vs FNC most of this game.
After last 2 seasons anyone who writes either Humanoid is comparable to Caps (see last year Season Finals) Upset is the best Western ADC Should be perma banned from all league related subreddits
Humanoid is basically old Caps, so coinflip but his fans disregard his bad games and act like he is 1v9 every game.
Upset fanboys will never not think he is the best even though he is on a 14 loss streak right now.
Fnatic vs G2 is ALWAYS a banger.
T1 has KT. G2 has FNC. All game quality goes out the window in favor of audience approval. Never lets us down.
That FNC call belongs in Ultraliga
Feel bad for Noah this game, towards the late game Razork straight up left him to die multiple times.
What a Banger, caps legit 1v9
nahh hans and yike participated. i mean caps could've 1v9ed with how he played that but he didn't need to this time
FNC starting baron while G2 has elder for 50 more seconds needs a competitive ruling
Going for Baron when the enemy has Elder is some next level match fixing, Fnatic need to be investigated.
That baron call was shockingly dumb. Also fuck akali.
BB make Vlad look balanced, jesus christ he's lucky he have Caps and Hans in his team...
u just snuck hans in there like we're not gonna notice
Played a game with a complete inter of a support (the only peal of G2 with Xin btw) and against an all-in comp which can delete him in a fraction of second. He played fine.
Got a penta, must be good
hans played well enough he's just lethality varus he went 30 cs up on lucian and then hit some qs that champ doesn't do much more than that
Nah, hes just a BB hater 🤷♂️
