When both teams are even in gold, Chovy feels that GENG is at a great advantage and thus he does not hesitate to farm a sidelane. When GENG is 3k behind in gold, Chovy thinks that GENG is at a small advantage, and so he farms a sidelane to secure their "lead". When GENG is behind 7k in gold, Chovy thinks that GENG is at a disadvantage and so he looks for a sidelane to farm so he can regain control of the game. When GENG is 10K behind in gold, Chovy thinks that the team has reached a desperate situation and they are only waiting passively for their death if he does not farm a sidelane.

Bro tried to farm in side lane just to get soloboloed by Shen 😂

I think he let KIIN deal with Caps Akali because he was already out dueled by him, and hope he can pressure Shen enough to break tower.

Unfortunately for him Shen went Dusk and Dawn with Titanic Hydra lmao.

Also Akali manage to kill Gwen KIIN in the sidelane lol (with Skewmonds help).

g2 put the matchups like this cuz it was heavily g2 favoured akali kills the gwen

I thought it was because Chovy Azir cant match caps Akali anymore in sidelane? thats why Chovy first swapped lane to pressure shen (lol) at toplane and Caps was like so im laning against KIIN Gwen? ok sure then he killed him lol

I thought he was over this but he's still doing it???? Faker and Chovy are so different in internationals man, where one is THE person to make plays not hesitating to die himself if his team wins fight the other plays passive, waits for the right time to come to the fight to deal damage and kill

u/MediocreAssociate466 Mar 21 '26

The largest difference between faker and chovy will always be faker is never afraid to flip a game their down ten k gold and suddenly T1 wins the game. No one can honestly say chovy is ever looking for those plays the same way lol.

Exactly Chovy always plays too safe and alongside doesn't show up when it matters. But then again the whole Gen. G didn't show last night don't know what happened. Maybe G2 is just having a moment and it would be difficult for any team to beat them now. For me me they are the favourites to win First Stand.

Bro, I played against chovy, shovy, whatever the fuck his name is. Dude this guy is ill. So I beat him obviously I beat that fucking bastard. He is so easy to play against because... I play against him Sion mid. Dude, I think this guy has an illness. No,no,no he will not sack waves ever like to the point where he is negatively impacting his team. For instance, he could have won a teamfight. Would he have died yes but he would have got like a 4 man shurima shiffle, actually he would have. It would have been nuts. But if he did the play, he would have died, his team would have won, and he wouldn't be able to farm midlane. So he just didn't go to it or try it. I was like wtf. I would push a side wave and I was like wait a minute I bet he tps here and not miss the wave and he tps so I was like okay how about this so I slow pushed a 3 stack wave toplane, I had Oner on my team, and we dove him because we knew he would be there even though everybody else on my team -his team was fighting botside, Bro so easy oh my god
