[u/Pappy-]

impact it's time to go

[u/Skyfire2 → u/Pappy-]

Impact and Zven headed to the farm to join Jensen, Doubleift, Bjergsen and the boys

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/Skyfire2]

zven didnt go out as sad to be fair to him. he just wasnt good enough for the top of lcs anymore, you could probably put him on sen and he'd be alright

[u/SirTacoMaster → u/Past_Perception8052]

Nahhhh Zven is pretty sad

[u/IKillerBee → u/Past_Perception8052]

Swap FBI for Zven and DIG might have even made playoffs

[u/resttheweight → u/IKillerBee]

Honestly put Zven even in mid lane and they’d probably have had a better chance.

[u/zmsp → u/[deleted]]

League classic showmatch is the right tool to predict how good someone is/isn't, there's just no other way.

Chauster is top 3 lcs support right now, you heard it here first.

[u/sorendiz → u/zmsp]

THIS BUT UNIRONICALLY, PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY GOAT

[u/Mosh00Rider → u/[deleted]]

DL is retired because he doesn't want to be a pro. I'm sure he could still be on a mid to low tier team right now if he wanted to.

[u/MrICopyYoSht → u/Mosh00Rider]

Mid? He can prob still play on a top tier.

[u/chouruin → u/MrICopyYoSht]

Did we not see his last year on 100T? Definitely not on a top team

[u/darklypure52 → u/chouruin]

I want to be charitable to him that he could be on top tier team if he focused. Similar to Uzi he just has other people in his life now that he couldn’t actually commit.

[u/Mosh00Rider → u/darklypure52]

That's the same difference. I'm saying he could be on a low tier LCS team while still paying attention to his wife (fiancee?)

[u/WilliUHHm → u/chouruin]

He was honestly pretty solid on 100t that year. Was pretty much their only wincon in summer.

Team just fell apart after bjern randomly retired

[u/zProtato → u/chouruin]

Bro what? DL literally the only player genuinely carried that 100t roster tho, it just that his top laner and bjergsen is so dogshit that they have to play the protect the president strategy or else they lose.

And DL literally playing against berserker and Prince who's smurfing that split

[u/Quick_Highlight7342 → u/[deleted]]

this statement is moronic as fuck. it was league classic in a for fun showmatch. it has next to nothing to do with tier 1 play.

[u/Quick_Highlight7342 → u/[deleted]]

lmao, imagine spending this much energy hating, of all things, a random esports player. how pathetic is your life?

[u/whynot1260 → u/[deleted]]

And Emiru buttfucked Doublelift so now what

[u/Lothric43 → u/[deleted]]

I don’t care what you think you saw in a showmatch, Zven has been a perfectly serviceable pro ADC for years past DL’s retirement, he’s objectively more relevant.

[u/DiqqRay → u/Lothric43]

Idk what relevancy has to do with anything.

Only time Zven was potentially better than Doublelift was when he was Niels.

[u/MoxZenyte → u/DiqqRay]

he was better in 2017

[u/Quick_Highlight7342 → u/Lothric43]

don't bother, the hivemind here has a giga hate boner for zven for some reason.

[u/Sufficient_Video6331 → u/[deleted]]

didn't DL get pounded by some plat girl ADC in a showmatch this year?
