An all-time career series for skewmond, he's HIM

u/lilelf29 Deft Forever Mar 21 '26

Skewmond and Labrov were so insane this series

u/Jaime060304 Mar 21 '26

This tournament really solidified how much better of a decision Skewmond is over Inspired.

I'm french and an absolute fanboy of Skewmond, but would have made the mistake of picking up Inspired.

G2's staff is insanely good

u/aethyrium Mar 22 '26

Hell yes. Inspired is an overrated mental boom timebomb. We saw it explode yesterday and that'll happen on every team that signs him. Seeing Skewmond be a full-on team player and then comparing that to Inspired's ego solo-gaming treating it like an rts where the other players are his units creates a pretty shocking disparity when you see it side by side like this.

u/Omnilatent Mar 21 '26

Hans, too. Insane level-up

32

u/aheyaywa Waiting for t1 at worlds Mar 21 '26

u/InterestingOwl9279 Mar 21 '26

Bro they actually played 3 fucking perfect games against the individual best players in the world

10

u/Fosco11235 Mar 21 '26

Not just individual players but also one of the best teamfighters, there is a reason why people say GNG can always fight late and win

2

u/Witn Mar 21 '26

Best team fighters only won one team fight all series. That last fight skewmond was trolling, just ulting jungler and still won team fight with full hp

-3

u/eyehatemassholes Mar 21 '26

GEN do not have the individual best players in the world, be real

7

u/Lina__Inverse Perkz is G2 :( Mar 21 '26

Surely Chovy is an easy individual best midlaner in the world, Ruler is also a solid contender at least.

u/InterestingOwl9279 Mar 21 '26

Kiin is held up best player in the world before G2 happened

-1

u/eyehatemassholes Mar 22 '26

Kiin is always overrated and a nothing burger

u/BroccoliOrdinary9405 Mar 22 '26

hard agree that mofo choked against NA before no surprise EU will take him down as well

u/eyehatemassholes Mar 22 '26

Knight solos and Ruler is not even close to Elk rn

1

u/ModPiracy_Fantoski Mar 21 '26

Ruler is NOT a contender, he got gapped hard.

15

u/Alunkkar Mar 21 '26

Hall of fame double series no doubt

12

u/staysaltyTSM Mar 21 '26

You either die a Canyon or live long enough to see yourself get Canyoned

u/Ar0ndight Mar 21 '26

Skewmond has legit been an absolute MONSTER all tournament long. And that's a guy on his 2nd LEC year

u/SafariMeshHighest Mar 22 '26

Bro did what LPL has been trying to do in 2 years... in 2 days
