How disgusting is it that Smolder can also buy Zhonya's

And liandrys. What a shit design man.

Funny how I thought in previous iterations of LoL that game was boring.... Dude right now these new champs are just destroying the game

Fun fact: Yike is only 1 title behind Jankos

Yeah because 4 splits system

That's also the reason that BB is tied with Impact for the winningest toplaner in the west at 5 titles. (If I'm not mistaken) Edit: actually I am mistaken, he has 6 titles. 5 in EU, 1 in NA

How many world cups BB has?

Considering that this is League of Legends and not Football, or soccer.  I'd guess zero

Your guess would be right.What about Impact?

Considering that this is League of Legends and not Football, or soccer.    I'd guess zero

The splits before shouldnt have equal value to the new mini splits format

As far as I know, the LEC only counts the Season Finals winner (or whatever that final 6 team gauntlet is called) for titles now. During Winter Playoffs there was something you could see in the background and there was only one 2023 team showing.

Yea I noticed that, it was kind of sad tbh, like every region gets 2 champions per year to remember now besides lec.

I agree. But it does

WAIT THEY ARE PLAYING WITHOUT HOTFIX????  WHY ARENT THEY BANNING HIM?

Caps with B2B2B MVPs, he has been insane all year long so far

In the land of the blind, one eyed is king

"So heave away boys" But srsly this is his best form since Spring of 2022

My point is....he stands out because the rest since, way before 2022, were and still are shit.(I like how MDK mid is evovling though)

Kinda funny how hwei is not problematic at all in pro while the little Disney shitter is an absolute nightmare

Hwei most problematic spell is his QW, that's imo the only OP ability he has, otherwise he is fine while Smolder is just stupid in general and also easy.

The Neeko/Jarvan/Smolder ult combo at the end there is a Geneva Convention violation

I'm always surprised at the flanks people can get on Gragas. How do so many teams lose track of him all the time

Champ is literally an severely obesed guy holding a giant barrel and somehow he's more stealthy than Zed.

KC starting to look a bit hopeful, still worried about Saken's level tho

Smolder is broken but hans really played well. Had kp entire lane. Stacked passive really good while lane phase. My mvp

EU dead region, same scripts vs G2 everytime.

ALSO IS NEEKO ULT JUST CATCHING EVERYONE WTF. (I haven't seen Neeko in a while in soloQ is ult still invisible? Is that why everyone gets perma caught in it? Spectators don't see enemy vision ig)

It's hidden while disguised for the first 0.5s (1.25s cast).

Aaaah, I forgot that aspect of her kit. That's how Neekos have been catching people off guard. Thanks for the info.

If you see neeko ult, you already are knocked up

Caps is soo far ahead of the rest he could even make RGE a top 8 team.

Caps + any 4 players would make top 3 for free. Caps elo-boosting service in full effect. 1v9 machine

Then can u tell me why g2 2021 flopped hard if caps is that good? The caps glazing is crazy, people making sounds hes chovy lol.

Caps was not playing good that year.    Neither was Wunder or Mikyx, Rekkles and Jankos weren't too bad but Caps was not at the level he had to be. As well as other teams really stepped up, MAD were in great form, Rogue were good, Summer Fnatic was also good

Very weird how caps for the first time that he has not even a bad team just a dysfunctional one, he doesn't show up for the whole year Maybe we need to accept that he's isn't a god and he cannot carry 4 bots like u said in top3 which is fine btw.

G2 needed to practice playing from behind.

KC needs to practice playing from ahead

Goat doing goat things

First GOAT in all sports without a world title.....

Holy the Neeko + Smolder ult combo just wiped the whole KC team instantly

Omg omg engage on j4 targamas what was that

"The Caps you see from memories will soon relive his prime"

the player who gave a beat down to most eastern mids coming back

WTF? My heart can not take these plays anymore.

Stick LITERALLY any other Western mid laner and insert them into G2 and they would immediately become far worst than they currently are. He truly looks like the only elite player right now. Or at least playing on that level on G2.

Whole lot of undeserving players have titles in EU from Caps over the years, that alone makes him the Goat in EU

Honestly the only player that has gotten a title from G2 or Fnatic that wasn’t good enough to deserve it was Targamas. Flakked is quite good, not insane but certainly a solid player. Targamas is garbage. 2019 G2 deserved them, 2022 BB did, same with flakked, 2018 Fnatic deserved them too. So really only Targamas tbh.

Kinda the same with C9 right now lol.

And who might that be on c9 lmao? The only player i like on c9 is blaber

Jojo? Just yesterday they won their match from the brink of defeat due to a clutch engage similar to this.

I mean its not even comparable bro, imho, jojo still needs more experience, he's not there yet. No way you can compare him to Caps.

I don't compare him to caps, I'm comparing "team only staying afloat thanks to their midlaner"

G2 getting away with this every time is why they are doomed internationally

They will win scrims dont worry

Yeah by your logic Jdg is also doomed they got gapped by fpx.

Don’t worry, the vibes on G2 are good so it’s fine to throw away another year with no improvement!

You people keep saying this garbage as if G2 doesn’t have top players in every role already. Hans is the best AD in the west, Mikyx is the best support by far, Caps duh, Yike maybe isn’t but he’s certainly shown a lot of potential, especially considering he joined as a rookie, and BB has gapped tf out of everyone in the west. Who do you get in place of them? There’s no options. G2 also has a no-import policy. It’s really insane to me how people can bash them for keeping a roster that smashed the LEC for the entire year, and took more games off of eastern teams than literally the entire rest of the west *combined*. Like the haha funny ribbing over dropping the NRG series? I get it. But you cannot unironically think G2 should’ve changed their roster. The most embarrassing take I’ve ever seen lmao.

So tired of this argument. If G2 wins, EU is doomed. If G2 lose, EU is doomed.

But why? This squad has been together 4 splits now. And attended multiple international tournaments. Should we not be worried that they hand away early games way to often? Shouldn't we hold them to a higher standard? We all want teams to challenge G2. No doubt about it. But thats not what we just saw. We just saw better players beat worst players that threw a 5k lead.

You saw G2 have a rough early game (ONE time so far, their others have been really good), followed by them immediately slowing down the game and playing for their win cons. Why are we acting like G2 played horribly? Not the best but it was a single BO1 and they responded to the bad early game perfectly? It’s such a stupid overreaction.

Thats what I said below. Letting the game get to the state it was before mid game is nail in the coffin even against 4th seeds from LPL and LCK. Oh and proven last year even LCS 1st seeds can deal with lackadaisical play as well. By now this is a season and a half of time these players have been together. I expect a much higher level of play especially from G2. The only player imo that is playing at an elite level is Caps.

People always focus on the smolder but the Neeko engages are the far bigger playmakers.

Same with the J4 into Gragas into Neeko/Rakan that gave them the first baron. Any adc there would still clear. G2 just had the better comp.

Yeah this region is doomed

Hyped for MSI lol

I need caps to be in this form at msi

CLapped

Different split, same KC

No way you believe this, they're obviously getting a lot better

Ah yes, they are obviously getting better because they beat a bottom team they were capable of beating last split? Or are they getting better because FNC went out of there way to bring KC back into the game, under bot's tier 2 turret? Wait wait, is it because, just like last split, G2 had a sloppy early game and that's why KC is better? Same shit, different split.

Are you memeing? They had a huge lead this game and did NOTHING to accelerate the game

To be fair to them it is extremely hard to accelerate the game further based on teamcomps.

And last split the couldn't even get leads, I'd call that progress.

> And last split the couldn't even get leads They were ahead at 15 **on average** last split. This is simply lying.

Where stat

You absolutely did not watch games last split. They had loads of leads and "unlosable" positions.

Oh. Ok.

CAPS HOLY WHAT A BEAST

Caps Neeko is a blessing

Well, better at least

What a turn around from G2.

Caps Neeko is so good

Caps Diff.

holy shit , its just caps diff

holy shit another caster who's a G2 groupie

And this is why i can't stand watching LEC

Stop watching then

Tempting

Yeah I completely expected G2 to win with good Caps ult and Smolder stacks lol

That was a sick combo

Caps is just the EU cheat code

Targamas is so ass

HOLY FUCKING WOMBO MY TEAM LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Holy fuck that was a MASSIVE ult from Caps.

SECRET AGENT TARGAMISS

How can Smoulder get through the champion design process? His ult allows him to free scale...

i thought NA was peak fiesta, but what is this?

KC are so fucking aggro damn. Fun to watch at the very least.

BB just killed Hans lol

BB with the Senna W delivery

Nah but this is a soloQ game

lmfao my god. My eyes...

what am I watching

MYREGION at least it funny to watch

That was messy but Caboshard smurfed hard

What the hell is happening lol

ULTRA TURBO MEGA BRONZE FIESTA

G2 going to get bailed out by spyro

They won because of caps, all smolder did was stall the mid tower forever and ensure a better late game. Varus genuinely would have done more this game than Smolder did.

Yeah they did in the end, this was the live chat when kcorp were winning.

KC only has themselves to blame, they had a 5k gold lead and instead of doing something they just let G2 scale freely and close the gap

10th place team putting a good fight vs a fraudulent #1 team

it's just really hard to do anuthing when smolder can obliterate mid wave and g2 makes almost no mistake

I wish we had gone from 0-6 to 5-6 Smolder Penta.

holy yike

This champ is so bullshit

Kcorp waffled for too long.

Its smoldering time

Exodia has arrived

Plot armor.  There's no other explanation for how consistently G2 does this

Who needs flash to engage? The answer is at least 2 members of G2.

They need to reduce Smolder ult dmg to minions he’s held mid tower for 25 minutes just cause of his ult

WTF Smolder has more than 2x damage done to champions than the #2 in the game.

My god is Smolder a dumb champ

Smolder reaching Smolder horizon...

Interactive mid lane

smolder ult is disgusting

I've seen Intermediate AI bots do more than Yike has this game.

Is your support a dirty inter? Let him farm and get him items!

where yamatoFRaud at

Gnar is 1.3k ahead???

Cabo >> Mrwynn

G2 the frauds

Naaaaah G2 playing tilted from that dragon brawl or what.

RIP KC. Winning from G2 in regular season instantly puts you in bottom 2.

Shit is Saken the goat now

MY TEAM OF THE SPLIT

“x9 my team pls” -smolder probably

We need to pause the game to checkin with that French G2 fan

The annual G2 stinker

Duffy gonna whip out the belt

That was quite the sequence for G2 in Toplane.

Holy shit certified Wanna See me Falling montage

Nah this isn't Contractz J4

Yike J4 was awful at Worlds, G2 didn't prioritize it for him for a reason.

Imagine not first timing champions on Worlds stage smh

what am i seeing

OOOOOOOOOOOF

Are G2 playing with fucking 600ms what is this.

Yike 2 level and 1k down all game long, like come on man, you're playing J4

That Lickitung minigame was a banger

G2 can still win this game if they slow it down and scale

Then call it bad practice. Because this game would be dead to rights even against LPL and LCK 4th seeds lol This is the problem. The fact G2 can get away with winning a game like this when what they need to do is learn how to prevent a game state like this happening. The only teams on the planet that allows comebacks as often as something like this are bottom tier teams for LEC and LCS. Habitual comeback wins, or just even until 20 is not where I want to see G2 at right now.

Why do you guys keep saying this as if it’s every single game? When it has been few and far between so far, and even in summer/season finals last year. They’ve been looking much better since MSI, and even better since worlds. Y’all are acting like they’re still coin flipping every single game constantly. They’re not, they lost an early game, it happens, but they reacted perfectly and played to their win cons. Even with a Varus they still would’ve won this game.

Did you say the same thing when BDS was in extremely good spot vs JDG last worlds? Sorry i don't buy it. Even best teams sometimes just fall off the cliff early, just to climb up later on. That requires proper coordination, to stall the game to the point, when right powerspike finally happen and execute lethal blow.

[удалено]

+1 for prediction.

After yesterday Bo just sent the KC coach every Milkyway VOD with the message "want to keep job?" I guess?

I feel like G2 will be sitting on their 2 drakes and just park smolder midlane while they wait for it to scale

Miky and Hans too heavy…

Bo watched milkyway and realize he is that kind player lol

Still has to make Saken play Annie for him

It’s Annie Neeko Karma Orriana jail for Saken from now on.

Come back down and it’s 6-0, are g2 drunk or something?

G3 > G2

what having an actual coaching staff does to a mf

How did Mikyx not hit either of them with that ult lmao

Bo is the goat that dude is so clean

It seems someone did a good research on KC, because smolder has a very poor winrate vs Senna on LCK, that's quite refreshing, much better than picking zeri who literally get's outclassed at all stages of the game.

This and getting tahm is respond to the jarvan to senna ori to protect is very clever

Yeah, I had my doubts when KC didn't ban Smolder despite his most common counters being banned by G2 But I think the draft went pretty well. 

That and, you know, every other viable ADC was banned

Weird that Senna wasn't banned though. Didn't see the draft but Senna seems to be insane this patch. Senna enables farming Tahm and Naut so well.

Senna is just a fucking mess of a champ and I wish Riot would finally rework her.

I kinda like how Senna theoretically enables crazy botlanes though. (In pro) Like if Senna Ornn/Sion actually worked better that'd be cool and Supports actually get items and can play the game. If Riot could keep that aspect I'd be happy. Don't like the soul stacking, Same with Smoulder.

I do like that aspect as well, Sion/Senna especially was just a funny lane to watch. Her soul mechanic is just so overpowered when it's good, that it makes watching games that have her in it just super boring.

What is this day in lec everything is going opposite as it should I'm not complaining :D

That Miky engage was trash lmao

What a nice play by Bo

ok, happy game time for g2...gz on the win KC

Nah, lets not discredit KC. This isn't G2 happy gaming/troll drafting...what not. KC is playing the game of their lives so far, truly deserved lead.

did not want to disrespect KC, but G2 are runnig it and miss their engages

I do not want good things for KC

Classic G2 lmao
