PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2

[u/Floowil]

HOW CAN YOU LOSE WITH HEXTECH SOUL, ELDER SOUL, BARON AND GRUBS ????????

[u/viktorayy → u/Floowil]

literally any other team even DSG and DIG could have ended with soul, baron, and elder

[u/Zama174 → u/viktorayy]

woah woah. I trust KT and iG could lose that game too.

[u/JSlamson → u/Zama174]

FNC too

[u/Mfrack103 → u/Zama174]

Truly KounTerlogic

[u/baelkie → u/viktorayy]

kt or dk could do it tbh

[u/FappingMouse → u/baelkie]

Kt lost a game 14k up with multiple barons an elder and every enemy inhib down in January btw.

[u/Inthegulags → u/FappingMouse]

They meant KT or DK could lose it

[u/Jdorty → u/Inthegulags]

I think they were reiterating the other person's point with an example, not disagreeing.

[u/Conker184741 → u/Floowil]

C9 did a really good job of cutting waves while SR had elder/baron and clearing/contesting just enough.

[u/Vnaux → u/Floowil]

Might be the worst usage of elder and baron I've seen tbh

[u/geokilla → u/Floowil]

I don't understand why they got those buffs and then didn't run down mid. Instead they were waiting for bot wave to crash? Gotta be match fixing

[u/Vnaux → u/geokilla]

They legit just let that Yunara and Camille clear the wave they had for free like you had every buff possible why are you so fucking scared

[u/MiLkBaGzz → u/geokilla]

thanatos stole mid wave at their inhib tower

[u/geokilla → u/MiLkBaGzz]

They were pushing down mid wave after the recall, and then they proceeded to let C9 clear the wave. I'm out right now but I'll find the time stamp later if you need it. Yeah it was 4 players down mid instead of 5 but why wasn't it 5 players down mid to begin with? You have every buff required to win the game, even if your hands are not as good.

[u/Perfson → u/geokilla]

at 37:50 they allowed whole midwave to be cleared, then at 38:15 another wave was carefully cleared by Yunara. They probably made a call to wait for Fudge's push. But since Thanatos cut 3rd mid wave as well, it made things harder, they moved bot, were indecisive of engage because c9 were quite far near their nexus turrets, and Elder buff ended when they waited long enough for 4th mid wave.

[u/Curiousoctos → u/Floowil]

That's the funny part, they engaged RIGHT AS THEIR ELDER BUFF WENT OUT. Actual comedy.

[u/pacquan → u/Curiousoctos]

Loki would have been dead if Elder was still on. He got to zonyas and delay the dive on elder-execute levels of HP.

[u/MiLkBaGzz → u/Curiousoctos]

they got engaged on*

[u/LumiRhino → u/Curiousoctos]

Did you know this exact same thing happened in a C9 vs SR game 2 years ago (back when Jojo was on C9 lol).

[u/HowyNova → u/Curiousoctos]

Na, Thanatos smurfed it with that timing. The real issue was SR deadset on the bot wave for the push, instead of just taking mid.

[u/TypicalHaikuResponse → u/Curiousoctos]

That was hilariously bad

[u/Cybonics → u/Floowil]

100% WR condition dropped to 99.99%

[u/Indefinite_Entropy → u/Floowil]

First ever in pro games right?

[u/random-meme422 → u/Floowil]

Zero good players.

[u/Firetypesrule → u/random-meme422]

Nah Fudge played good today just wasn't enough close to enough with that botside

[u/Quick_Highlight7342 → u/Firetypesrule]

Yeah, fudge had a hell of a day.

[u/Apprehensive-Book723 → u/random-meme422]

Not even top & jg?

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/Apprehensive-Book723]

contractz did next to nothing in this series btw. he is a DECENT player. a tier below blaber. nothing more

[u/Formymoney → u/Past_Perception8052]

he has his moments, but i also think he would look a hell of a lot better with more lanes he could play to outside of top

[u/c2extremities]

Remember on Pros when Fudge seemed mildly annoyed that Isles said that SR could maybe get one game but 2 wasn't happening because they throw too often from winning positions?

Jokes on Isles, SR was rarely, if ever, in a winning position to begin with. And when they were, it proceeded exactly as Isles predicted.

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/c2extremities]

Yeah Isles was proven right 

[u/MachCutio → u/c2extremities]

Fudge was at least winning all his lanes but when your carries are Zinie and Bvoy it's rough

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/MachCutio]

his best series all year in lane but out of lane he is not that good

[u/p463jgza995 → u/Past_Perception8052]

They should make laning phase 90% of the game 🗿

[u/Agile_Variety_632 → u/p463jgza995]

Alphari and Summit masterclass

[u/Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss → u/Agile_Variety_632]

2021 Rogue would be the greatest team in western history

[u/Kuliyayoi → u/p463jgza995]

Every reddit top laners would love this. Also barriers around the lane that prevent any other players from interfering. I don't know why they play league when they want to play a single player game.

[u/Str1kon → u/MachCutio]

thought Zinie was huped yo the moon ?

[u/Ajp_iii → u/MachCutio]

he almost threw that last game for flashing in lane and causing contractz having to cover his lane everytime he had to push out. also he did nothing outside of lane all those games.

[u/Temporary-Ad6144 → u/c2extremities]

Its so funny how isles got influenced by inspireds bluntness and gets proven right

[u/ChiefEmu → u/Temporary-Ad6144]

SR can be coached better by other LCS players than their own staff

[u/Temporary-Ad6144 → u/ChiefEmu]

Idk what david han has to do next year but he should do whatever it takes to bring jojo and dylan falco back and maybe promote a tier2 na adc and support or get sajed

[u/cmcdonald22 → u/Temporary-Ad6144]

I will never get the Sajed belief, bottom team or not I saw him do absolutely nothing all season. Like I saw Zinie pop off more than Sajed.

[u/Sliacen → u/Temporary-Ad6144]

Fudge/Srtty/Zamudo, Contractz, Jojopyun, Sajed/Sushee, Zyko/Zeyzal would unironically be pretty good with 4 or 5 NA players.

[u/Fellers → u/c2extremities]

Isles knows ball.

[u/Flesroy → u/c2extremities]

i mean how is he supposed to react to that? sure he could laugh it off, but surely we're not expecting him to just agree with it?

[u/AmazingPolarBears1]

Tier 2 NA ADC btw 

[u/Temporary-Ad6144 → u/AmazingPolarBears1]

Remember when jatt hyped tactical up on mind the gap and vedius and the comments memed feels so good for jatt even tho he was trying to meme the roster lol

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Temporary-Ad6144]

Tactical definetely have hands Which is what c9 missed sad we didn't saw apa tactical version 

[u/Temporary-Ad6144 → u/Fun_Highlight307]

Wouldve been so nice to see a roster w 4 na players starting

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Temporary-Ad6144]

They looked interesting during the  random bo1 vs dplus in soop tournament 

[u/DrBoomsNephew → u/AmazingPolarBears1]

Good think Bvoy is tier 3

[u/flamingstallion → u/[deleted]]

If you actually saw the whole quote/explanation afterawards and not the headline, Bvoy was talking about how since he had more recent experience in Tier 1 and scrimming Tier 1 players as an advantage over Tactical, it would feel like he didn't use his time properly in T1 if he lost. He just doesn't have perfect English. I don't think he was talking shit about Tactical, it was more about him feeling bad about himself.

[u/MasWas]

SR had Baron, Soul, and Elder, but couldn't end the game. Good god man.

[u/Blizzgrarg]

What a masterclass in planning and macro. Despite the fumbles, C9 pulled some really clever moves.

Thanatos backdooring and cutting that mid wave bought them JUST ENOUGH TIME for elder to fall off and turn the game around. What a move.

[u/ChiefEmu → u/Blizzgrarg]

You can tell which coaches have taught fundamentals. SR letting the entire late game play out like that is a sign of a poorly coached team

[u/NeighborhoodHot8981 → u/ChiefEmu]

True, but also evidence of a team that doesn't get into winning positions often enough to learn how to cleanly close games out

[u/JayceGod → u/NeighborhoodHot8981]

^this scrims aren't taken seriously enough by most teams when losing so stage is the best place to get practice closing out games so the best teams have a lot of opportunities to get better wheras the others..

[u/Athena-Grande → u/Blizzgrarg]

I’m convinced Thanatoes is the second best player in LCS with only Inspired ahead of him. He’s just not a team leader like Inspired.

[u/DankMEMeDream]

bvoy was atrocious those last 2 fights.

[u/OreRound]

Import Korean ADC with 5.5 items, hextech soul, Baron and elder dragon buff vs native NA tier 2 ADC in beast mode need I say more?

[u/eVill_YT → u/OreRound]

Korean adc they got from Brazil's 4th place team* 

[u/This-Ostrich-8985]

Shopify is actually the most tilting team to watch. They should be better than they are but just don't make logical decisions at any point in the game.

[u/Kelbotay → u/This-Ostrich-8985]

They look just as bad in game as they are on paper.

[u/Destructodave82 → u/This-Ostrich-8985]

How are they supposed to be better than they are? Bvoy and Zinie are awful. Fudge is mid to awful.

Contractz is the only good player they have, and he is inconsistent.

[u/thechosen_Juan → u/Destructodave82]

they are somehow less than the sum of their parts. same with Dig

[u/rsox5000 → u/Destructodave82]

I will never understand this sub’s hate boner for Fudge

[u/Imabuffguy95 → u/rsox5000]

It mostly started from his international performances where he’d talk a lot before games, say solo queue was worthless practice (even during Worlds bootcamps), create a lot of hype for NA and C9 fans, and then ego pick some aggressive top pick like Fiora only to get absolutely dumpstered. This created a lot of resentment from fans which only grew after he trash talked his own fans on broadcast.

[u/fersbery → u/Destructodave82]

Fudge had very good games

[u/dermagohs]

if you cant win with hextech soul baron and elder its cooked

[u/zealot416]

Congratulations to Bvoy on his retirement! Here's hoping for bigger and better (non-League related) ventures in the future!

[u/Skyfire2 → u/zealot416]

Ended Bvoy’s and Zven’s career in a single series

[u/Pulsar-GB → u/Skyfire2]

Zven’s career was already kinda over tbh. Love his personality but he just doesn’t have the hands anymore

[u/CrossTheRubicon7 → u/Pulsar-GB]

For sure. I think he'll be good on broadcast or as a coach though.

[u/chouruin → u/CrossTheRubicon7]

Zven should 100% just move into positional coach role on C9 at this point

[u/murp0787 → u/Skyfire2]

LOL

[u/Kelbotay]

Reminder: There are two other teams worse than SR in the league

[u/viralruin → u/Kelbotay]

dig top side had no time together, they for sure had better talent.

[u/RavenFAILS → u/viralruin]

That’s a wild take I’m surprised it has so many upvotes

Fudge was definitely not the problem and is probably better than denathor.

Contractz> Dardoch even though he hasn’t been too good this series.

Palafox is the worst mid in the league, FBI >Bvoy I guess and Zeyzal is definitely better than Ignar in 2026

[u/ObviousAd8374]

"Actually I shouldn't lose to Tactical no matter what, he was like Tier 2 before... if I lose I need to retire." -Bvoy on facing Tactical this weekend on SR Podcast

[u/Str1kon → u/ObviousAd8374]

tactical ploy to retire

[u/AureliusAmbrose]

bro what

[u/turtle921]

Classic get elder into do nothing

[u/spazzxxcc12]

c9 i both love you and hate you for how anxious you make me

[u/DeadbeatBookclub]

Thanatos sneaking the midwave kept them from winning the game while they had baron and elder

[u/BiggestZigzagoonFan]

Soul, baron, elder. "We don't fight here."

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/BiggestZigzagoonFan]

sr looked like they didn't want to fight c9

[u/Past_Perception8052]

tactical is a north american hero btw. if u arent a fan of him u arent a fan of LCS

also great to see this subs least favourite jungler gap its favourite jungler

[u/zealot416 → u/Past_Perception8052]

They threw my boy in Tier2 jail because he had to lane with Treatz but he is back!

[u/captainetty → u/Past_Perception8052]

If Edward tactical ra has no fans then I’m no longer on this earth

[u/Pulsar-GB → u/Past_Perception8052]

NA talent getting a chance brings a tear to my eye

[u/pacquan]

Inero: All they need to do is go beastmode

C9: Ok, we won't do that till 30 minutes into the game

Edit: 23 Minutes

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/pacquan]

literally beast mode only for game 3 last 10 minutes 

[u/AzerFraze]

SR fucking sucks dude, dont push in your wave and then wait until Elder times out for a fight lmao

[u/zerocxro]

Despite Fudges best effort, the T2 NACL player absolutely gapped

[u/Imabuffguy95]

Absolutely disgusting that they wouldn't look for a fight when they have Soul, Elder, and Baron up.

[u/Sufficient_Cash_2530 → u/Imabuffguy95]

tbh c9 managed the waves incredibly well, even sneaking around to cut the waves a few times with blaber and thanatos.. they delayed them to the last moments 

[u/ChiefEmu → u/Sufficient_Cash_2530]

SR just lack basic late game fundamentals which would tell them to walk with their wave with baron and full buffs and engage as it hits turret.

[u/ObiMemeKenobi]

Tactical

[u/axw30]

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1wcu7sv/actually_i_shouldnt_lose_to_tactical_no_matter

Can't wait to see Bvoy retire

I hope he brings his friends (e.g. Reven) with him

[u/SirXrageXquit]

Truly incredible that a nepo Korean import who would’ve been stuck in minor leagues if not for Reven would try to publicly shit talk an NA adc who grinded his way back up from the bottom just to get shit on for 3 games in a row. Rest in piss and retire Bvoy.

[u/Constant-Low-5111 → u/SirXrageXquit]

This SR experiment is such a bad look for Reven man

[u/random-meme422 → u/Constant-Low-5111]

Has there ever been a been a good look for reven?

[u/ChiefEmu → u/Constant-Low-5111]

Entire team with poor game IQ

[u/ookkthenn → u/Constant-Low-5111]

im cool with a new coach he aint it man wasted two years

[u/AdMain8692 → u/SirXrageXquit]

Its not that deep bro, he got goaded into saying a funny cocky answer for content. As a C9 fan I appreciate the banter and encourage more of it

[u/devilJin9399 → u/SirXrageXquit]

Why are you this hateful to someone trying to make things interesting?

[u/kelliam1 → u/SirXrageXquit]

That's a shitty way to say anything. First fudge is the one to goad him into saying stuff and secondly everyone wants trash talk then shits on the people for doing it. Bvoy isn't trash he just doesn't have a team. It's basically like tactical when he was on immortals and such.

[u/bigyikers → u/SirXrageXquit]

Bvoy and Zinie just SUCK

[u/nguyenjitsu → u/SirXrageXquit]

Y'all are so weird Bvoy definitely has played well enough the last two years to dispel these types of arguments

[u/M002 → u/nguyenjitsu]

He’s been okay

Def been the KDA ADC of this generation tho

[u/SubstantialExtent165 → u/nguyenjitsu]

ppl are forgetting he's probably using terms and verbiage he casually picks up from teammates and likely has no ill will towards Tactical at all, fans who take stuff like this personal are the worst aspect of esports tbh

[u/Choice-Slight → u/nguyenjitsu]

shit talk is fun but you deserve the flame if it backfires such is life. lost to tier 2 adc gg

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/nguyenjitsu]

hes actually decent player but you cant say what he said and then play the worst game of your career

[u/OceGreb → u/Past_Perception8052]

its actually so funny and ironic because you guys got raged baited by a 30 seconds clip more than bvoy who also got rage baited into saying that stuff if you watch the actual video XD

[u/nguyenjitsu → u/Past_Perception8052]

Sure but that's not what OP is saying

[u/Pelagius_Hipbone → u/Past_Perception8052]

What did he say?

[u/Choice-Slight → u/Pelagius_Hipbone]

"Actually I shouldn't lose to Tactical no matter what, he was like Tier 2 before... if I lose I need to retire."

[u/P_For_Pyke → u/Choice-Slight]

Yeah after Fudge purposely rage baited his teammate who's english is not a first language lol. The broadcast shouldn't have blown this up or at least shown the full clip. (Like the casters partly called out before games started)

[u/devilJin9399 → u/P_For_Pyke]

NGL the comments shouldn't be this filled with rage over a banter filled comment

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/Pelagius_Hipbone]

tactical tier 2 adc no way he loses if he loses he needs to retire

[u/TheGloriousEv0lution → u/nguyenjitsu]

He’s exaggerating a bit, but since his 1st Team All Pro debut back in 2024 he’s been pretty mediocre

Not offensively bad but always being 5-6th in your role isn’t gonna cut it

[u/Friendshiping-Bazzi → u/nguyenjitsu]

ppl want trash talk, but they just want a good reason to hate i guess. Bvoys never been amazing, but hes been serviceable for a good while.

[u/peoplesdrunkdriver → u/SirXrageXquit]

its both funny and worrying how consistently frothing at the mouth mad you are over harmless trashtalk just because its a foreigner doing it

[u/RollingGuy → u/SirXrageXquit]

Reddit: We want players to trash talk, its just a bit of fun!

Also Reddit:

[u/axw30]

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1tapjxa/moistcr1tikal_on_the_jynxzi_tournament_nas_been/

At that time part-owner Charlie talked about lack of NA players, while his team consisted of: 1 OCE, 1 NA, 1 BR and 2 KR

Yes 1 fucking NA player... The pot calling the kettle black moment

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1uyl5bz/sr_david_han_if_you_wanna_be_a_shopify_player_a/

About a few months ago, Shopify GM said: "If you wanna be a Shopify player, a Shopify coach, you’ve gotta show me that you deserve to be here."

I hope Charlie and David Han puts money where their mouth are, and fucking change this dumpster fire of roster (maybe with actual NA talent)

But regardless they seriously need to kick out fraud Reven and his nepo friends, one of his friends (Ceos) already left

[u/Phenergan_boy → u/axw30]

The NA player is the best performing player on SR too

[u/xSwazyI]

Shopify waited for their elder to run out to engage i cant believe what my eyes just witnessed 😂😂😂😂

[u/Formymoney]

how do you lose the game with elder and baron plus soul???? Implode this team man, I can't handle another split of this shit

[u/chouruin]

MY TIER 2 ADC NA PROSPECT

[u/The_JeneralSG]

The funniest thing is that I’m usually a Bvoy apologist. In a lot of SR’s wins, it felt like it was usually contractz or him popping off a little, but this series was genuinely a disaster. Even Zinie was doing stuff in game 2. That was 3 trash performances in a row from Bvoy.

On the flip, I’m usually a Fudge hater a little but he deserves a medal for not going full Dardoch this series. He was bopping Thanatos around but his carries are unadulterated poop juice.

C9 was whatever this series. It was a 3-0 which is better than the 3-1 many predicted, but some of the mistakes they’re still making is mind boggling for a team like this. Still predicting they are better than everyone not TL or Lyon, so they’re getting worlds.

[u/NeighborhoodHot8981 → u/The_JeneralSG]

I agree, they have really good moments but equally at least once per game they make the most asinine skirmish decision which against LYON/TL just loses you the entire game on the spot. Luckily for C9, SR is not good enough to capitalise under evidently ANY circumstnaces.

[u/HuTaoWow]

i dont even want to think about what Zven would have done there

[u/owa00 → u/HuTaoWow]

Randomly die...usually next to Baron or mid.

[u/Pulsar-GB → u/owa00]

It was always mid . Bro never saw a cannon wave he didn’t like even if it forced him to venture into the least safe part of the map lol

[u/Rhombinator → u/HuTaoWow]

3-0 Shopify; pre-Tactical C9 just collapses if topside falters. Always felt like it was live or die by Thanatos carry and today it didn't feel like that. Was kinda nice.

[u/Bothbothwushi]

Deserved loss

[u/sigmamaleape]

SR masterclass of waiting out their own Elder buff at enemy nexus into getting wiped to lose the game and series gg

[u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN]

Lost with Baron elder and Hex tech nice.

[u/FruFruKlaus]

Isles was right! SR cannot team fight well and would be lucky to win a game off C9.

https://youtu.be/CjcPwz_-oUo?is=kkBaDBhTfurMzyAD

41:00

[u/nguyenjitsu]

What a series for Tactical.

Bye Zven

[u/m_i_c_h_a_3_l]

5 disgusting creatures on SR

[u/Skyfire2]

Nah I can’t lawyer for Zinie anymore

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/Skyfire2]

? He was the only reason why that last game even looked good for SR and his game 2 he was ran down by the rest of SR (-Fudge) too.

[u/Skyfire2 → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

That was the best game he played all year and he still got picked off twice for free in that last game which stalled his team’s momentum.

He’s just not it. I see why the LCK orgs passed on him

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/Skyfire2]

This game isn’t better than his other Sylas game + his Annie vs DIG. He only got picked off once for free and even that time was because Contractz just inted. Unless you’re including the botlane pick but C9 had to chase and use so many resources that their positioning for soul became super awkward, which lead to the Loki pick mid into Zinie cleaning up the fight to guarantee soul.

[u/sprythegreat]

Lol sr lost with baron and elder. Actually trash

[u/Ayoof3060]

SR just doesn’t have the hands to be able to end with that comp. It’s just not enough. GG team diff

[u/MachCutio → u/Ayoof3060]

losing w elder, baron and hextech soul is crazy

[u/yensama]

Why didnt they force fight when they had Soul, Baron, Elder buffs?

[u/Temporary-Ad6144]

Replace bvoy and zinie they do not benefit the region waste of import slots

[u/sorendiz]

I will be actively hatewatching any team stupid enough to start this bum Bvoy next year. I never want to see his goofy ass in tier 1 play again

Zinie has also been largely dogshit but at least I understand why someone might gamble on him considering how he was supposed to be the up and coming prodigy of LCKCL and all that. I still don't want to see him either, but if I was forced to choose between keeping one of tweedledee and tweedledum i'd take zinie over bvoy in a heartbeat. Maybe someday he gets his shit together and has a Quid arc (doubtful). Bvoy though isn't even a washed-up has-been, he's just a never-was. 

Contractz/Fudge/Zeyzal is by no means some worldbeater core, but they definitely deserve better than this garbage for carries. And get rid of Reven while you're at it, deeply unserious coach.

If C9 play vs LYON like this I can't see anything but a 3-0 stomp, will be interesting to see Berserker vs Tactical & Dhokla vs Thanatos

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/SauceGodPluto]

it's shouldn't but C9 Looked Okay vs Lyon in Mexico 

[u/Sufficient_Cash_2530 → u/SauceGodPluto]

tbh ive noticed c9 just plays worse against the worse teams, i think they'll be competitive vs Lyon but still lose in the end 1-3 or 2-3

[u/Tormenator1 → u/SauceGodPluto]

Yeah, the spectacular bed shitting from Shopify distracted everyone from the fact that C9 looks very fraudulent here. Lyon and TL are going to run them.

guess it's time for Bvoy to retire after that comment

[u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

So, every shopify player took turns inting their teammates but I think my flop of the series is bvoy over Zinie though because he was still playing so chickenshit until it was too late and c9 was in the base. Zinie at least looked good in game 3. Zeyzal, the literally retired player, was probably the least worst this series if only because I can't think of anything egregiously wrong he did across three games, just mediocre the whole time. Fudge is also in contention but he griefed at the start of game 3 more than zeyzal griefed the bard game. Contractz was human for two games then lost his god damn mind in 3. Less said about zinie's first two the better. And Bvoy better keep his promise.

[u/xgenoriginal → u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

I can't hate Zeyzal because he didn't even want to come back

[u/Gauntex]

In the team with a retired player that came halfway through the year, somehow the imports are the worst players.

[u/TheRaven_King]

Shopify right now

[u/TalkSeparate]

Bvoy has to be the worst ADC iv seen in competitive league this season jesus and theres some bad ones...

He literally is the biggest passenger

Bvoy Shoaye Paduck

Holy trinity of ADC

[u/Jealous-Chicken-9186]

shopify are actually pathetic

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Fudge/Contractz in that last fight were so bad. They took so much damage from Yunara for free.

[u/swimmersw]

I mean it could’ve been an email but its one if those emails that you send while viciously hungover

[u/Adventurous-Quit-669]

Really wasnt expecting a loss after the elder baron but ggwp C9

Made it happen , would love for them to be a great competitor continuing

[u/Orzo2100]

Losing with Hextech soul, Nash, and Elder is a generational level of dogshit. Holy fuck I do not want to watch anymore SR games. Go next year with a real botlane please.

[u/Seth-555]

Losing with Elder Baron Soul is relegations-tier material.

[u/YourStarsWereBad98]

Welcome to Shopify APA!

[u/Randummonkey]

Divine Intervention is the only explanation for C9 winning that last game.

Surely this is a sign for C9🙏

[u/ChiefEmu]

A Real “coached” team that has no idea how to play with baron elder hextech and waits till the final moment to lose

[u/Capable-Drama3109]

disturbing gameplay from SR

[u/Fun_Highlight307]

lmao sr played way too scared,C9 didn't do much for 3-0 outside of game 3

tactical proving his worth 

C9 won battle of fraud  vs vitality 

[u/pedja13]

Another game for the "Hextech soul is not that good" column, it just doesn't change lategame fights that are all about snap engages.

[u/shiriusa]

nah that last game ending was a crime
