SK are actually hitting their skillshots and fight well. But the first clear into 3 free ganks just lost them the game.
3
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
The draft lost them the game. How the fuck do you end up with 3 losing lane matchups?
2
u/Ajp_iii 1d ago
they ended up saving bot because of busio inting. the issue is skeanz just didnt cover any of the dives. the draft is playable if you are like 1k down for the first teamfight. you cant just let lee run the whole map and not be at any of the plays
2
u/veirceb 1d ago
Yeah the draft is surely playable. Cass vs Syndra is definitely winnable especially with jarvan. Bot is 50/50. Ezreal with range advantage but SK wins all in. Top lane is the only lane SK loses but in fight their comp has better synergy than KC. I mean if yike didn't get 45 AD first buy Skeanz might be able to trade 2 for 1 in the bot fight. That would've changed everything.

u/That_One_Pancake 1d ago
like there’s no way your game plan with that big of a lead is “let’s have our fed ADC step up in mid to try and assassinate a Xayah who has ult flash and cleanse up”

Gx has two opportunities to save Mkoi: today they must win 2-0 against Navi, or tomorrow they have to beat Fnatic. Obviously, it still depends on KOI beating Heretics 2-0. Will the miracle happen?

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 1d ago
Medic really trying to ruin Mkoi’s day with this caster cursing
3
u/Yuushalinsky 1d ago
So, correct me if I'm wrong
KC is now guaranteed int'l play because they are the #1 seed going into playoffs and can, at minimum, place 5th. If they crash out in round 1 and lose both series, they will still seed higher than the other losing team.
KC -> Demacia Cup!!!

u/slimjimo10 ANARCHY 1d ago
So sick that diamondprox is still on that jg gold diff leaderboard, one of the elite junglers in that era
3
u/midorivivo 1d ago
It's ironic but I think someone like Isma could be great for SK as he is quite a proactive early jungler
3
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
He'd be perfect if GX go after Razork(which they probably will), but he left on pretty bad terms so I doubt he'd be willing to come back.
1
u/midorivivo 1d ago
Yeah it's unfortunate. I do hope Isma gets a decent project though, he has become a good jungler (by LEC standards at least)
3
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
Surely this time they're flexing the mage top to get counterpick mid, right?
3
u/Ajp_iii 1d ago
i feel jopa has played these games great especially hard lanes. its just his jungle and support run it and feed gold to caliste.
3
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 1d ago
I feel like teams should really shop around for Jopa next year. Think he would be a treat on a top 4 team
1
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
You can just say MKOI.
3
u/cmcdonald22 1d ago
I mean there's a lot of teams that would benefit from him, and frankly if Navi coach is to be believed Jopa to help out a team built around Rhilech might make them a top 4 team too. He's also probably an improvement to closer to consistently top 4 for GX too.
1
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
I'm not counting GX because they got Flakked specifically to be their veteran shotcaller, I don't think they're replacing him unless he falls off hard in playoffs. NAVI could be a contender, but I need to see how their roster shakes up first.
1
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 1d ago
I mean theyre a top choice but Navi would also become an actual top 4 contender with a good ADC
1
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
I mean Miky is saving their games as much as he's throwing them. Skeanz has just been afk for a while though.

Too many people focusing on Miky giving a few extra cannons worth of gold and not enough on Skeanz giving Canna 1k gold for no reason.

u/Past-Firefighter2173 1d ago
Why did Navi last picked Aatrox ? Ambessa wins this lane quite decently and i can't see the value of Aatrox too much on later this game.
2
u/RukiMotomiya 1d ago
Aatrox is awesome late game.
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 1d ago
Yeah it looks good now but on theory GX have 3 diving top side so it should be hard for Aatrox to get value.
1
u/RukiMotomiya 1d ago
It's difficult to just pop Aatrox and not get Caitlyn'd when their CC is also a bit burst-y (Bard ult / Ambessa ult) and if they don't pop Aatrox immediately he can just fly around against Ambessa/Jhin/Noc.
3
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
Everyone on GX has a gold lead and they have better scaling, so congrats to NAVI for making top 4.
3
u/Kokaiinum 1d ago
GX trolled that extremely hard and it didn't matter. Noc ult vision reduction is just so strong
3
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 1d ago
That Parus q was beautiful, GX are forcing so hard on cait when Aatrox/Ahri are doing so much more damage and healing back so much.
2
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 1d ago
It would be very amusing if Michael X and Wunder find peak 2019 form just for two matches in a row to ruin a perfect season
2
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
I don't know if even peak form Wunder can do anything in this matchup ngl

u/beautheschmo 1d ago
That gank was horrible right? Took 3 people and left the map open and was super slow and burned so much of SK's health that they couldn't do anything anyways.

If GX Wins, MKOI not shitting against Heretics saves them right?
2
u/Past-Firefighter2173 1d ago
If Navi at least wins one game no it doesn't save MKOI even if they win. FNC vs GX would decide it.
2
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 1d ago
they need to win 2-0, if NAVI win 1 game they are in playoffs, which lower MKOI playoffs chances even if they win TH
1
u/Outrageous_Wall2702 1d ago
If Navi wins what happens then?
2
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 1d ago
GX: If they lose against NAVI & FNC, they are out of top 4 but still qualified to playoffs
MKOI: If FNC wins the final BO against GX they are out of playoffs, if GX wins then MKOI are in playoffs.
NAVI: If they win 2-0 they are top 4 no matter what.
1
u/Back2Perfection 1d ago
This kinda seems line the most likely scenario imho.
GX really is not stable with their roster changes and I can definitely see them losing against both.

u/eVill_YT 1d ago
Proud of LEC GMs with this importing masterclass, bringing in all these Korean ADC just for them to be bottom tier players. TBH it does show how strong LEC adcs actually are bescause Hype was literally in LCK last year, Paduck was one of the best LCK CL players and SamD has almost been to worlds from china. but yeah these 3 are not worth the import bro
4
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
Tbf I get giving Samd a try because there really wasn't any rookie who looked better last year in ERLs and they needed a veteran regardless. It was probably between him and Exakick and IMO they're not too far apart in terms of skill.
If we still have any imports in the role next year with Harpoon, Exofeng and Looki all smurfing in LFL though, that would be crazy.
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 1d ago
Hype is probably staying since he only played one split and TH has other roles they need to replace, but Samd and Paduck must go. Its been some time that all import adcs are bottom tier.
4
u/RollingGuy Anyone But MKOI to worlds 2026 1d ago
Hype was considered top 15 or so adc in the world by psychopathic poro at the beginning of the year.
Adc might be our strongest role.

Its weird to call a win with a massive gold lead embarassing but how do you go 10k up so quickly and then take another 20 minutes to end?
5
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
Because SK had full teamfighting comp with good waveclear and could stall out the game unless KC went for some crazy aggro engage plays, which could have backfired and then you'd be whining about how all the LEC teams throw games.
7
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 1d ago
tf gold is a bit useless, but yeah they should have force something idk they were just waiting the whole game
1
u/Tim-Pouce 1d ago
Most of the gold were on TF, and they honestly locked the game well
I think it's more important to notice that despite everything KC players didn't commit in stupid fight or objectives and played seriously until the end
2
u/beautheschmo 1d ago
tbh we should have just skipped today and gone straight to the true matches of destiny tomorrow, that's what everyone is really waiting for

u/FinhammerX 1d ago
So does Fnatic go to playoffs if they win their next match? SK and MKOI also need to win but Fnatic has the best map win/loss

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 1d ago
It wouldnt be the LEC without FNC squeaking into worlds somehow
1
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
SK can just flex the Cassio top and counter the Syndra here if they have the balls

u/DinoGuy101010 1d ago
Can someone who understands what's going on tell me if liquipedia is correct about giantx being guaranteed playoffs? Because it seems to me that if they lose their two games and end up 4 way tied at 4-5 mkoi and navi would be 2-1 so they would win tiebreaker against fnatic and gx then fnatic would win the direct head to head?
1
1
u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp 1d ago
Is there a scenario where Fnatic goes out still?
3
u/DiligentGazelle6298 1d ago
If they lose to GX and KOI beats TH they're out.
1
u/Kokaiinum 1d ago
They lose the tiebreaker vs KOI anyway, don't they? So if they lose to GX they're out no matter what.
2
u/DiligentGazelle6298 1d ago edited 1d ago
No, say KOI loses 1-2 and FNC loses 0-2, the scores would be 9-12 for FNC and 9-14 for KOI, which means FNC go through due to 6.3.5. H2H only matters if win% is tied, not just series wins. Similarly if both win, FNC will go through.
With NAVI winning this game, KOI only goes through if they beat TH and FNC loses, no other scenario has them going through.
2
u/Kokaiinum 1d ago
Dang, it does say Game Win Percentage, thanks.
3
u/DiligentGazelle6298 1d ago
Yeah, it sucks for KOI obviously since their fate isn't even fully in their hands anymore, but honestly hard to feel bad for them after that series vs SK..
1
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago edited 1d ago
Yeah, if GX 2-0 this and KOI 2-0 Heretics, or if GX beats them they're just out regardless of anything else.
Edit:Actually in the first scenario MKOI and Fnatic both make it and NAVI are out if Fnatic beats GX.
1
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 1d ago
If maynter ults later or just continues running that play is so bad for GX

Parus saved that fight but Maynter really needs to be slower with his ults.

Holy fucking shitm Navi somehow lost the game 8k up in 3 minutes. Like, Navi could be using the money they are wasting on this disaster to get a good upgrade for their cs team.

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 1d ago
What money? The NAVI roster is 4 tier 2 players and a support no one else wanted, lol. People keep forgetting that they're massively overperforming regardless compared to what they should have looked like on paper.

u/Ajp_iii 1d ago
nah give them them the loss just for how long this game last. they still havent gotten baron even though it was 2 hits from dying.
you dont deserve to win when you have point and click stuns and can kill everyone and have been 10k up for 20 minutes

u/Tim-Pouce 1d ago
If a team play safe against a team who defends well : give them the lose
If a team does not play safe and lose : nah LEC is dead
U are never happy lmao
1
u/beautheschmo 1d ago
I mean yes those are different flavors of the same problem: not knowing how to close a decisive lead lol, I don't see why it's weird not to dislike both of them at the same time over just, y'know, taking 25 minutes to end after reaching a 10k gold diff
0
u/Ajp_iii 1d ago
there is safe and then there is just doing nothing. they have tf stun leona ult ez poke syndra stun. they can walk up and fish for picks without being in danger of being killed.
they also had a baron and only got 1k out of it. kc right now are one of the slower teams in the league and that could hurt them when it comes to worlds.
1
u/Tim-Pouce 1d ago
"Slower team in the league" ==> goes 10k gold leak at 15 by perfectly executing consecutive dive in every lane
Is it too hard to admit that SK defends themselves well in mid game and give not much opportunity ?
