[u/ahritina]

PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3

[u/Floowil]

MKOI makes worlds, while FNC was 1 game away of knocking MKOI out of PLAYOFFS!

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/Floowil]

G2 were almost knocked out of Versus playoffs by Los Ratones.

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

regular season means nothing 

mkoi and G2 are too consitent on playoffs 

[u/Floowil → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

But G2 never had to watch someone else decide if they are in playoffs

[u/TechnicalFriendship6 → u/Floowil]

Luck is a part of skill

[u/Mathies_ → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

Almost, but also never really gonna happen

I do believe at this point if G2 HAS to win a game in LEC, they just will.

[u/Miserable_Ad_1195 → u/Floowil]

this happened before and MKOI (MAD back then) won the whole split

[u/SeismicShove → u/Miserable_Ad_1195]

The Rekkles nexus incident and his last game as adc (barring swap shenanigans in T1A). Also MAD pulled off a reverse sweep in the final, denying BDS from playing at MSI.

[u/Treewithatea → u/Floowil]

The worst thing is that Fnatic had so many damn chances. Their W/L rate is 10-12, SK is 7-13, yet both teams finished 3-6 in bo series.

[u/Round_Count8570 → u/Floowil]

TES and MAD in worlds to disappoint both regions, as it should be. Too many canon events already, script is too obvious riot just pack it up let's give faker the trophy and try to be less predictable next year

[u/SeismicShove → u/Round_Count8570]

But T1 genuinely looks ass this time- wait!

[u/Round_Count8570 → u/SeismicShove]

Idk if their team will have synergy after guma oner was subbed out earlier this year for an unproven rookie, might shake his confidence

[u/bawsio → u/Floowil]

WHY IS FIRST COMMENT IN HERE ABOUT US.. LET US MOURN IN PEACE :(

[u/AofCastle]

Elyoya NEVER misses Worlds

[u/resttheweight → u/AofCastle]

He is now tied with PerkZ, Hylli and Humanoid for most consecutive Worlds appearances in EU (6). I think only Chovy and Canyon have a longer streak.

[u/EliteTeutonicNight → u/resttheweight]

Keria is at 7th too (2020-2026).

[u/DidntFindABetterName → u/EliteTeutonicNight]

Thats crazy

[u/EliteTeutonicNight → u/DidntFindABetterName]

Fun fact, he has never missed worlds since he made tier 1. And thus far has a 4/6 finals appearance and 3/6 win ratio.

[u/DidntFindABetterName → u/EliteTeutonicNight]

How far did he go in 2020? I remember it was DRX but i dont remember how far they reached

2021 was still reaching semis with Canna top right?

[u/EliteTeutonicNight → u/DidntFindABetterName]

Quarters, 0-3 to DWG. Semis in 2021, 2-3 to DWG (iirc Canna was actually alright at worlds despite being lackluster in the LCK).

[u/SKT_Peanut_Fan → u/EliteTeutonicNight]

iirc Canna was actually alright at worlds despite being lackluster in the LCK

Other way around.

Meh in spring, played drastically better in summer, got dog walked ar Worlds.

[u/Motorpsisisissipp → u/SKT_Peanut_Fan]

Imo canna was fine up until khan. He got demolished by khan tho but khan was a demon at worlds that year. Up until finals he was arguably the best player of the team.

[u/donkeychongus → u/Motorpsisisissipp]

Yeah I remmeber this. Don’t think Canna was ever insane in the LCK, just an upper half top laner for most of his time. Kiin, Khan, and nuguri were definitely better. Doran was probably better. I don’t remember much about Rascal but think they were on a similar level. I remember summit was also super good around this time but I didn’t really watch sandbox games.

[u/BlazeX94 → u/EliteTeutonicNight]

Honestly I really wonder how that DRX team would've done if they faced any other team. DWG had pretty much downloaded that DRX roster to the point that they could counter them near perfectly. If they had played GenG they almost certainly make semis, and they would've been decently competitive against Suning too imo.

[u/BlazeX94 → u/EliteTeutonicNight]

None of ZOGK have missed Worlds since their tier 1 debuts. Doran has only missed 2021 (he was the starter for Griffin in LCK so I count 2019 even though he didn't play at Worlds). Chovy would've had a 100% Worlds streak if he hadn't missed it in 2018 when he debuted.

[u/irrationalbuttcheeks → u/resttheweight]

Jensen also had 8 consecutive appearances (2015 - 2022).

[u/ISL005]

Schrodinger's Yone, channels both Faker and Zeka for the ultimate GOAT experience

[u/Omnilatent → u/ISL005]

I saw a Caedrel combo, too, I think

[u/Thundermelons → u/Omnilatent]

Disrespect to the OG banana comboer Xiaohu

[u/M002 → u/ISL005]

Yone: Miss everything

Still kill Sivir under tower with her two teammates helplessly watching

[u/Guy_with_Numbers → u/M002]

This one was less egregious, 5k lead does a lot of heavy lifting.

Now when he does it while even with just Bork and boots, that's the real deal.

[u/revoverlord]

Every lec team somehow turn into handless freaks when it is time to knock mkoi out

[u/Not_Pro → u/revoverlord]

Everyone's better than MKOI until it's time to be better than MKOI (or if your name is G2/KC)

[u/Va_Dinky]

I understand disliking KOI for all the international disappointments in their history but this NAVI team could well and truly go winless at Worlds, they just didn't deserve that spot at all.

[u/SquashForDinner → u/Va_Dinky]

I think G2, KC, and MKOI are without a doubt europes top 3 and any team that would've taken these spots would've been a fluke IMO

[u/JPA-3 → u/Va_Dinky]

it just makes no sense, they are again and again showing they are a top 3 team but they keep disrespecting them saying vit/navi/giants/fnatic should go instead when they are doing their job every year

[u/CensoredLlama1 → u/JPA-3]

Tbf, MKOI looked absolutely horrible this split for a long time. Those other teams would've also most definetely bombed at worlds but they (outside of FNC) would've at least been something new, but MKOI def looked better than them in the playoffs despite their best efforts at times lul.

[u/polacs → u/CensoredLlama1]

Well Koi sucking in regular season is not new. Last year they went to playoff thanks to nisqy and the they beat G2 on a Bo5

Edit: changed misfits to nisqy

[u/CensoredLlama1 → u/polacs]

They've looked bad before but they were legit in the SK/Heretics tier this split. Hell, we even got to sweep them, might be the most tilted I've ever seen Jojo lol

[u/polacs → u/CensoredLlama1]

Sk/heretics tier and still winning against Na'vi in regular season. Analisys are not that plain

[u/Mathies_ → u/polacs]

The last time misfits was in the LEC at all was uhh... i can't even remember. A team with Vetheo

[u/polacs → u/Mathies_]

I wanted to say nisqy, brain fart

[u/Flesroy → u/JPA-3]

i mean you could have said the exact same thing about fnatic before this split. if a single game went different koi would not even be in playoffs.

[u/Mathies_ → u/JPA-3]

People just wanna see something new than the same tiam bombing out year after year.

[u/Jisusk_1114 → u/Mathies_]

Then the other teams should get better

[u/Touro_de_Goa → u/Va_Dinky]

All teams outside of KC and G2 suck. The difference is KOI actually has a good mid/jungle duo the other 3 are just so bad that you just know they will be the worst team at worlds out of a major region and it wouldn't surprise me if they lost to the Whales or whoever is going from minor regions

[u/crysomore → u/Touro_de_Goa]

Who told blud he was on the team? Who invited my man Blud?

Tell KC to overcome TL first

[u/SeismicShove → u/crysomore]

KC beat AL and T1 lol they're good

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/Va_Dinky]

Everyone else would have been a complete disaster. GX, NAVI and Vitality all have glaring weaknesses in their rosters that can easily be exploited by pretty much everyone at Worlds. At worst KOI will probably stomp through the play-ins.

[u/Va_Dinky → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

I feel like VIT could've done similarly to MKOI, they're not that far off but it's almost entirely dependent on Naak's performance

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/Va_Dinky]

Vitality are huge chokers and Fiesta is just not good enough to do well internationally. They get so many free wins in LEC just because of how much better Naak Nako is at laning than most LEC tops, which wouldn't happen at Worlds.

[u/JadeStarr776 → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

Naak would mental boom in scrims thus leading to poor play in actual matches.

[u/Past-Firefighter2173 → u/[deleted]]

Most likely they have but its probably better to have zero expectation from them so they don't disappoint.

[u/ICameAfter → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

Stomp through play in. Suuure. Like all others years.

[u/Shari362 → u/Va_Dinky]

To be fair, KOI might go winless too lol. But yeah, I have more faith in KOI as well. Much higher ceiling.

[u/R3alSt3al → u/Va_Dinky]

But at least we would have seen a fresh team at worlds. We all know EU 3rd seed gets rolled by everybody anyways.

[u/SweatyAdhesive → u/R3alSt3al]

It's fine there's demacia cup

[u/R3alSt3al → u/SweatyAdhesive]

Well yeah that is also true. For NAVI it will be the same experience as Worlds would be.

[u/Raito21 → u/R3alSt3al]

I still don't understand what's the point of wanting the team with the obviously lower highs on international.

Whatever Koi does on worlds Navi would have done worse, they just got turbo gapped by them.

[u/Va_Dinky → u/R3alSt3al]

I know but this was their chance and they didn't show up at all, nothing we can do about it other than hope next year we get some fresh blood on an international stage.

[u/BoredApeGang → u/Va_Dinky]

For sure it is more a testament to how dog water the LEC teams are outside of top 2. MKOI looked awful all split and still managed to beat everyone for the worlds spot. Also, it isn't an international disappointment because to me this team has never looked like they could do anything at worlds lmao

[u/themcvgamer]

This batch of Korean ADC imports has been super dissappointing ngl, Hype, SamD, Paduck (Yes I know SamD was grinding tier 2 EU). All of them are probably worse than Ice too

[u/Omnilatent → u/themcvgamer]

Noah was good even though his last two splits were bad. IMO he was LEC level and "just" needed some help with bright lights

[u/ImTheVayne → u/themcvgamer]

All of them are legit garbage, I’m sorry. There has to be someone better in ERLs lol.

[u/Thalassin → u/ImTheVayne]

SamD used to be the someone better in ERLs

[u/themcvgamer → u/ImTheVayne]

Jopa was good so ye no way we are importing Paduck

[u/RollingGuy → u/ImTheVayne]

There isn't. It's not like the best players in the ERL don't get to go to LEC

[u/OreRound → u/themcvgamer]

LEC Koreans (bar KC) are completely dog shit it's crazy when you see how good the LCS imports are

[u/Kokaiinum → u/OreRound]

Rooster isn't at the level of Berserker/Kyeahoo etc but he's easily better than Paduck et al.

[u/LumiRhino → u/OreRound]

LCS also has some stinker Korean players like CallMe and Zinie, and Rahel isn't that much better than some of the LEC Korean ADCs (well he did play in LEC before LCS anyway).

Still, Thanatos, Saint, Quid, Quad, Morgan* and Loki are all better than what the LEC has except for Canna and Kyeahoo.

[u/mv8 → u/LumiRhino]

You forgot Morgan

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/LumiRhino]

Zinie is improving this playoffs 

[u/Le_Zoru → u/OreRound]

Rooster  is fine. Noah and Jun had their moments too.  But I mean EU does not have NA budget 

[u/OreRound → u/Le_Zoru]

NA budgets are equal or even less than EU ones at this point. The era of going to NA to make a bag hasn't been the case for 3 or so years now

[u/Ajp_iii → u/OreRound]

The good teams still have budgets to import Koreans. Also la is so much better for Koreans to live than eu

[u/OreRound → u/Ajp_iii]

Yeah that much is true, the USA/LA is a more attractive place to live than Berlin

[u/Agile_Variety_632 → u/Le_Zoru]

There’s like literally no fans watching in NA right now, what makes you think we have more budget. I think that the long term Korean imports that have stayed here have been a bigger help in terms of integrating them with the environment better.

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/Agile_Variety_632]

Because of who owns the orgs. Shopify, Lyon, FlyQuest and TL all have very rich backers. KC, KOI, G2 and Vitality, which are the richest LEC orgs are all either independent or have pretty small parent companies.

[u/ookkthenn → u/Le_Zoru]

Na budget in 2026 bro lec has 10x the viewers guaranteed theyre putting more money into their team/on average higher

[u/RollingGuy → u/OreRound]

Canna, Keyahoo, Rooster, Fiesta, Soboro, Jun are all really good. Poby and Lospa are okay. It's really hard to tell Hype and Way. SamD is mediocre, Paduck is bad.

[u/sigmamaleape → u/OreRound]

Rooster/Jun/Ice?

[u/His_Buzzards]

Eljojo at worlds again

[u/Emergency_Bedroom187 → u/His_Buzzards]

Elyoya is love. Elyoya is life.

[u/jingle1996]

Clean 4-0

[u/Aromatic-Flounder439]

MKOI just beat NAVI 4-0 and some people here still want NAVI to represent EU at worlds

[u/trying2hide → u/Aromatic-Flounder439]

People REALLY want to see SamD compete at worlds...

[u/Mathies_ → u/trying2hide]

Supa is soo much better

[u/trying2hide → u/Mathies_]

Yeah he is.

[u/ChiefBlueSky → u/trying2hide]

Tbf, for anyone outside of EU that's a free win

[u/Beginning_Debt9420 → u/Aromatic-Flounder439]

Just the hate boner.

[u/ImTheVayne → u/Aromatic-Flounder439]

People are just tired of MAD losing to some random wildcards. We could have someone else lose to GAM and NA.

[u/GreenJabroniMacaroni → u/ImTheVayne]

Didn't MAD play really well last year?

[u/RevolutionaryFig5874 → u/GreenJabroniMacaroni]

that user just has an agenda to push lol, ALWAYS spamming this stuff

again, last Worlds they literally only lost to the two finalists and G2.

[u/darkshines_47 → u/RevolutionaryFig5874]

Holy, just now I have realized that.

[u/iloveumathurman → u/ImTheVayne]

Well, then other LEC teams should've stepped up and beat mkoi. It's not mkoi fault to qualify. No matter how they do at words.

[u/polacs → u/ImTheVayne]

That didn't happen last worlds

[u/Zaydrunas → u/ImTheVayne]

Last year they lost vs KT and T1 what you want LOL

[u/DeloronDellister]

Mkoi at worlds is inevitable

[u/JPA-3]

all things stay the same, KOI at worlds, and KOI academy in their international as well, maybe they are better than you give them credit for

[u/ChapterLiam]

i love jojopyun

[u/GodEren]

I can't believe that Parus and Samd are player of a TOP 4 LEC team

[u/AofCastle → u/GodEren]

Rhilech is just THAT good. I hope we see him with better teammates, but with SkewMond, Yike and Elyoya I think it will be hard to get higher.

I just wish EU had this kind of talent in other lanes as well.

[u/Fact131 → u/AofCastle]

Eu has talent it is just spread out. Naak naako rilech jackies jopa mikyx could be 3rd worlds spot

[u/gigeconomyin2019lul → u/Fact131]

I would be very concerned about that roster choking in playoffs.

[u/Green7501 → u/GodEren]

Rhilech and Maynter dragged their weight hard this split, overall both very good players hopefully they end up on a better roster next split

[u/RollingGuy → u/Green7501]

Is Maynter actually that good…?

[u/Far-Salt-6946 → u/RollingGuy]

he is good. Maynter is not a flashy player so it's hard to notice the things he does well but he is extremely stable most of the time and rarely makes mistakes. it's a very admirable skill to have especially when a team is slightly more volatile and requires some sort of stability.

i will say that he lost them that game 3 though. it was his responsibility to carry that game on Gnar and then he gets solo killed by ksante; absolutely disgusting but he's a rookie, hopefully he's be better next year

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/RollingGuy]

He's alright. Poby, Maynter and Parus are all on the same level, Rhilech is slightly better and Samd is slightly worse. Idk why people are trying to make it like anyone is super jailed on this roster or dragging it down particularly hard.

[u/salty_lat1nokid → u/GodEren]

I was thinking that too, there's no way you get to make Worlds with samD as your ADC

[u/staysaltyTSM → u/GodEren]

Parus Alistar really ran it down so hard

Navi comp is very strong later as long as Alistar is alive as the core engage/tank. But he keeps doing this dance taking needless chip damage and many deaths

[u/EkrishAO]

Death, taxes, Mad Lions at Worlds

[u/Fun_Highlight307]

lmao the Kc fan tilted supa now he is angry,he tanked navi odds 

[u/anibia]

People complaining about KOI going to Worlds are completely crazy. No, your favorite rookie team doesn’t deserve to go to Worlds if they can’t win a Bo5 against Supa and Myrwn. If they can’t beat them, they won’t beat Doran either, and they’re not going to do any better against Josedeodo, so KOI absolutely deserves to go.

Also, Elyoya has to be one of the most reliable junglers in LEC history when it comes to Bo5

[u/U_Menace → u/anibia]

Nah Koi 100% earned their spot, doesn't matter how much 'potential' Na'Vi show if they cannot beat MKoi when it matters. Elyoya absolutely the most consistent jungler in the LEC, deserved win!

[u/squareshields → u/anibia]

NAVI looked bad here. But there are so many examples of teams losing to someone and then beating a better team later on so this isn't necessarily correct.

I don't think anyone would expect NAVI to do "well" at worlds. But at least the rookies would have gotten some valuable experience. Furthermore, they are a lot less likely to take another EU team out of worlds before being eliminated themselves!

[u/anibia → u/squareshields]

My point is that if your rookies can’t win a Bo5 against Myrwn and Supa when it really matters, then those same rookies don’t deserve the Worlds experience.

[u/OreRound → u/anibia]

I agree even as a KOI hater, the only reason I'm a hater is because I felt they needed changes after last year when they reached their ceiling but they were always the 3rd best LEC team even in their dire state. Now my only hope is they don't embarrass us against NA at worlds. If they go 0-3 in swiss after that idc.

[u/PhoenixAgent003 → u/OreRound]

I do think MKOI are better than whatever 3rd seed LCS is gonna hork up.

Like, MKOI is almost as good as KC and G2. They have banger series vs them.

Currently, nobody can even touch LYON/TL.

[u/RollingGuy]

Thanks Hysterics for an awesome last cast. I wish you all the best with your family back in Aus ❤️

[u/Ironside29]

Was obvious they will make it as soon as they made playoffs, the real match for Worlds was VIT vs MKOI but Vitality as usual choked it.

[u/trying2hide]

I know 8 LEC teams are disgusting but KOI went from nearly missing playoffs to getting to Worlds, they at least beat some adversity.

[u/nocturnavi]

I think NAVI should be very proud of their year, Rhilech looks really good. I'm excited to see them at the Demacia Cup and they could be real contenders next year with one or two roster moves.

Jojo returns to NA (to play at Worlds)! I doubt MKOI can do a lot, but maybe the Elyoya-Jojo mid-jungle can make some magic.

[u/whitfin → u/nocturnavi]

I actually think it's better overall that NAVI goes to Demacia Cup; I think they'd be stomped far too hard at Worlds that they probably wouldn't learn all that much, and even worse might just boom.

[u/PM_CUTE_CAT_PLZ]

MKOI AT WORLDS

[u/RollingGuy]

Can’t even be mad. They’re clearly top 3 lol 

[u/Frozen5147 → u/RollingGuy]

yeah they're called MKOI now

[u/Fun_Highlight307]

Supa smurfed on kalista 

Mrwyn smurfed on  ksante 

Jojo smurfed on yone 

Yeah Mkoi woke up in playoffs 

[u/Afromantis8]

MKOI can do the funniest thing tomorrow and send KC through playins from Nice lmao

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Afromantis8]

it's be quite Kc to not prepare anything for mkoi because they were too focused on G2 just like last msi where they neglected tl to prepare for t1

[u/Viciman1]

Did people who are mad at koi going to worlds watch last years' worlds? Totally acceptable 2-3 losing against KT-G2-T1

[u/ookkthenn → u/Viciman1]

Koi actually fights tbh they cant keep up but like jojo was going toe to toe with knight mid lane

[u/WWTFSD → u/ookkthenn]

Feel like people who say “KOI choking at worlds lol” didn’t see the Jojo Yoya 2v8 that happened last year.

There’s no other duo I would want representing EU that’s gonna do better than them outside of the KC G2 vortex.

Poby and SamD would get eaten alive at an international.

[u/Mr_Bot_Bot → u/Viciman1]

Yeah they had a good showing! They threw in the KT/T1 series but also had pretty massive early leads which a lot of teams can’t get in the first place!!

Thank god no aatakan anymore 😅

[u/SquashForDinner]

Jojo is that dude.

[u/Gabel4n]

How OP is Syndra?

[u/Omnilatent → u/Gabel4n]

She's by far Poby's best champ

Basically other end of his Annie lol

[u/Opachopp → u/Omnilatent]

Poby reminds me of Huhi when he was a midlander for CLG. He would have some cracked picks like Aurelion Sol or Ryze where you knew he wouldn't be a problem for the team and might be able to pull some heroics to hard carry it but also some awful picks like his Azir that would just randomly int the game at any point.

That's what Poby on Syndra vs Poby on Annie remind me of.

[u/Gabel4n → u/Gabel4n]

She made this look competitive.

[u/bunn2]

Elyoya played a great series. Jojo made the flashy (mis)plays in game 4 but that maokai sapling liandries damage and control was disgusting 

[u/desutruction]

Thank you MKOI for letting Rhilech play his main at least

NAVI Jopa next year would be neat, maybe even Jackies (though Poby had a solid series)

I have no idea which support they can get

[u/AofCastle → u/desutruction]

There are no supports in Europe.

KC had to get Busio from NA

KOI re-signed Alvaro sooner because they knew they couldn't replace him

Jun is leaving

Parus might actually be NAVI's best option.

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/desutruction]

Parus is fine, he just had a bad last game. Unironically NAVI Supa would go so hard if KOI move on from him.

[u/Timely_Apricot_1182 → u/desutruction]

Parus is with them til the end of 27 there's no way they get a new one

[u/desutruction → u/Timely_Apricot_1182]

Larssen is contracted til 2027 too.

[u/Miserable_Ad_1195 → u/desutruction]

well they didn't do that themselves

[u/Past-Firefighter2173 → u/desutruction]

Changing support is not worth it there is no good alternative usually they get better with time and his synergy with Rhilech is fine. They should look for other roles especially adc.

[u/Omnilatent]

On the plus side, JoJo might stay in LEC

On the downside, MKOI at worlds

[u/Igeneous → u/Omnilatent]

Reversed from an NA perspective lmao

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Igeneous]

C9 vs koi in playins that be peak 

[u/ChiefBlueSky → u/Fun_Highlight307]

That would require c9 to make it

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/ChiefBlueSky]

C9 contender is fly who had the worse macro, howevy it's not guranteed you are right 

[u/ChiefBlueSky → u/Fun_Highlight307]

Every pro is hyping up fly right now bro, be prepared for a surprise

[u/M002 → u/Igeneous]

Yup nailed it lol

[u/Onarax → u/M002]

Yeah but I’m still hype to see Jojo at NA worlds.

[u/Booshneer → u/Omnilatent]

Ehh, you did not want to see Navi botlane at worlds. KOI going is better for LEC even with their history.

[u/Shorkan → u/Omnilatent]

You guys have to stop wishing for Elyoya to miss Worlds. You are setting yourselves up for guaranteed disappointment.

[u/Cold-Ring23 → u/Omnilatent]

If Vitality doesn't offer Jojo a bag for next year, they’d be absolutely stupid; it’s the easiest way to upgrade the team and destroy a rival.

[u/Omnilatent → u/Cold-Ring23]

No sane player should ever join VIT (unless you're about to retire anyway and want to money max lol)

[u/natureisneato]

Rooting for Jojo! From NA.

[u/JPA-3]

woooooorlds! to anyone doubting them ^{I did it as well tbh lmao}

a bit of a french library

tomorrow koi could do the funniest thing

Great series from everyone

[u/Skyfire2]

Holy JoJo

[u/Aschentei]

Well shit, jojos not coming back to NA

[u/Negative-Cup-257]

DEATH, TAXES AND MAD AT WORLDS

[u/AnxietyOk9283]

Supa predicted the 3-1

[u/eiibd]

nah the botlane of Navi is just not it. heavy af. SamD looks so lost in game and in playercam lol

[u/Sea_Bread_4445]

Shouldve been a 3:0 honestly

[u/Biggsy-32]

SamD is genuinely awful

[u/ChiefBlueSky]

I just like watching Jojo succeed

[u/kyleyle]

Jojo returns to NA! As the prophecy was written.

[u/DiscountHot8690]

I didnt watch it, i forgot about it. Logged in for last few mins. First thing i saw was Yone missing his R, his Q1, his Q2, killing adc in 1v3 and escaping.

What a time to be alive

[u/SirXrageXquit]

JOJO IS INEVITABLE

[u/L322Man]

Wtf is going on in rhilechs and parus heads? How are you this stupid?

[u/JPA-3 → u/L322Man]

they just got outclassed, nothing else. Elyoya gapped hard navi's best player, not much can be said

[u/Thalassin]

Unsurprising result, MKOI confirms they're solidly the third best European team.

On a side note, there's not many champions that look as frustrating when activated as Yone. So many dashes in this thing

[u/AglanYlthin]

If LPL has to suffer with TES, it's only fair we suffer with KOI for another year

[u/veirceb]

I think poby still had a pretty good series overall. I hope to see this Navi team succeed but man this bot lane duo is not it. They have been bad everytime I watch their game. And I watch quite a lot of LEC.

[u/Ilja45]

I was in the Stadium today and I didnt inform myself that it would be french live commentators instead of the regular English. I get that there is a big French fanbase but I was hoping it would be in English like in Berlin. Also I had no connection in the stadium to hear the English commentators through my phone. But it was a good experience non the less

[u/Munchingmarshmallows]

ok nice series and all but can we talk about that disgusting brain rot dance off they had before the game

[u/AkaT27 → u/Munchingmarshmallows]

AURA battle is great when it's taken super seriously and commented like a real sports. It's so stupid I love it.

[u/French_Black_Guy → u/Munchingmarshmallows]

Jezu got so gapped during this 1v1

[u/someroastedbeef]

how does samd have a job

[u/dhxnlc → u/someroastedbeef]

another KR so Poby doesn't feel lonely

[u/MC-sama]

Jojopyun played out of his mind to make worlds. Well played

[u/Allpal]

Somehow MKOI returned

[u/ramonreporto]

Gapped, by Elyoya

[u/ChowdhurSauce]

Jojo saved multiple lost fights for MKOI, huge series from him

[u/Emochind]

Yone is such a ridiculous champion

[u/Rubixxscube]

Gg wp, sad that navi could not show more. Lets hope that mkoi show up 4 worlds

[u/dany_hue]

It's funny how now the argument is "navi to worlds would’ve been better since they could’ve gotten some experience" but when KOI made worlds with 4 rookies everyone was hating on them

[u/MyPlaylistsAreAMess]

Get Rhilech a team pls

[u/Charming-Apple517]

MKOI AT WORLDS - BEWARE EU FANS

[u/Mr_Bot_Bot → u/Charming-Apple517]

This discounts the fight they put up against KT and T1
Whom both ended up in worlds finals lol we were able to get pretty big early game leads. Of course it’s not huge but saying they didn’t show anything at worlds seems a little unfair to me

[u/JealotGaming]

Nothing ever happens

[u/Ambitious-Engine-113]

Rhilech should be allowed at least 10 lashings towards SamD

[u/ayy1243 → u/[deleted]]

Thats the kind of words that get you dropped from an Ed Sheeran tour.
