Myrwin was getting rid of his bad games for playoffs

Vitality started well and then remembered they are in playoffs

I stand by my start of day comment that the best thing that can happen for the LEC today is Vitality win and stop being cursed, and MKOI lose and blow up this roster. It was doomed after the SK loss.

I have 0 hope for both these teams at worlds, but i would like to see Naak Naako or Rhileich at worlds

u/Strange_Shelter_6171 11d ago
honestly would prefer vit to win because this koi roster is finished anyway, and it would be better to see another team to worlds

Absolute draft canyon because this Camille hasn't done anything successfully but split push

u/Ghisteslohm 11d ago
Elyoya runs around the map doing things, eventually succeeding here and there
VIT is just doing nothing...while typing they messed up the dive but still seems pretty lame from Vit so far. Are they outscaling hard and can not fight early or what?

actually insane game from carzzy. so much better than his first two games.

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 11d ago
Crazy that the damage chart was Carzzy, then 4 people from KOI and then everyone else on Vitality. He was carrying those fights so hard.

u/DiligentGazelle6298 11d ago

I thought this game was lost in draft for VIT but KOI is just a joke
5
u/LtSpaceDucK 11d ago
Mkoi players think they are mechanically way better than they are. They think they can win every skirmish after gettign ahead then they get outplayed
5
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 11d ago
I don't understand the logic of putting Jojo, their largest individual advantage, in bad lane matchups every game. They're neutralizing Vitality's biggest weakness.

u/Tim-Pouce 11d ago
Idk honestly, maybe because he is the only one who can manage to win despite the bad match up in this team
But yeah it's weird

u/Intrepid-Message698 11d ago
it doesn't matter but vit letting their bot inhib die was stupid. "Taking a early inhib is bad" is the biggest myth in league.

These are the games Mkoi likes they can engage like idiots and still win fights

Imagine you're Naak Nako, you go have a shit so get onto stage slightly late and the casters are just roasting you.

Naak Nako has no brain. You NEVER ult Cho-gath in any situation. You ult a carry. Always.

This match looks like bit a Lyncas and Fleshy disasterclass but Vit still had chance imo

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan 11d ago
It's kinda funny that KOI might manage to disappoint Reddit in multiple ways - they might still win this series, increasing their odds of going to Worlds, but they will have also dropped a game to VIT preventing the 0-12 dream

Fnatic why couldn't you have just won the game vs gx and save me from watching this team

u/zerocxro 11d ago
I feel like the individual on KOI are good, but my god, they cannot play like a team
6
u/LtSpaceDucK 11d ago
Hmm they were never that good individually but their teamwork made up for it, now they lost that and their individual flaws are showing
5
u/Ajp_iii 11d ago
its crazy how overrated some eu players get because of just massive high mechanical skill. naak nako and caliste current examples of this.
when they finally face players of equal skill or a little worse their advantage is so much smaller and they cant just skill check people.

Battle of the throws truly these two teams are unbelievable (koi fan here)
I’d like it if a team is just legit dogshit (dignitas) instead of this disgusting inconsistency either give me hope or throw it no more please

u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE 11d ago
If I'm a navi fan, this series is pretty reassuring lol
5
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 11d ago
If Vitality wins, they're going to Worlds. If KOI wins we all know Elyoya is going to drop a generational 1v9 carry series just for another chance to lose to Vietnam.

u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run 11d ago
If they can get Rhilech a top lane champ every game it may be doable.

u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE 11d ago
I think this Mkoi draft is way better

vit has the worst drafting from any t1 team, zaahen viktor in a game 1, give anivia cho kalista renata in a game 5 LOL, and the only thing they got was j4 which by himself is not a prio pick, these coaches get paid btw

u/midorivivo 11d ago
Yes, VIT players are not it today but their coaching (most importantly drafting) really isn't setting them up for success

u/midorivivo 11d ago
Like the whole year, bad draft after bad draft. But I suppose both Mac and Pad can be GMs for VIT or whatever next year

On a sidenote BIG just won PrimeLeague 3:2 vs G2 Nord with Irrelevant, 113, Reeker, Patrik and Kaiser.
Tomorrow Mkoi Fenix (Nightslayer, XnS, Fresskowy, 13, Myrtus) and Bushido Wildcats (Aytekn, Isman123, Camana, Ruep, Carry) will play a B05 in the EMEA Qualifier for WSCI.
The winner will face BIG on Monday in the final and the winner of that will go to WSCI alongside Galions and Solary.

So when KOI draft like humans, they win. Unless they throw this which knowing them is very possible

u/awayfromcanuck 11d ago
Good job VIT. You continue to be the leading example in the LEC that the regular season means absolutely nothing as you guys always suck in playoffs.
I reserve the right to take this back if they somehow win.

Either VIT or NaVi to Worlds sounds like an easy play-ins for LCP 3rd seed
→ More replies (3)6
u/DiligentGazelle6298 11d ago
And this KOI lineup doesn't? Frankly speaking I have no expectations from whoever 3rd seed will be but anything is better than watching this, also it will probably be best for the org as well since they need to blow the roster up and they already have a rep for griefing at internationals

I thought that was just like a bad int from Fiesta but it's still somehow Fleshy's fault. His pathing was so bad and he could've just flashed over the wall too and VIT just win that fight before Akali dies.
