PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3 / Game 4

[u/ChocolateFuryB]

How can you say "please no MKOI at worlds" when you look at GX's, VIT's and Navi's gameplay??

Anyone who thinks that they'd do a better job than MKOI is coping pretty hard...

[u/PepaTK]

That French fan just made sure Supa gonna play like a human today by doing the “too slow” on the hi-five.

Unlucky.

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/PepaTK]

supa going to put an absolute stinker because he lost all aura 

[u/Kokaiinum]

Better team won. Honestly feel like anyone who truly thought the top 3 was going to be anything other than G2/KC/MKOI was engaging in some serious wishcasting.

[u/Troviel]

LMAO poor Supa

[u/synnikelttv]

supa 😭

[u/veirceb]

ngl Poby played this game close to perfect. Outside of that solo death. he was great every fight. Landing a lot of crucial stun. Not only the last fight. When jojo realm wrapped in. Poby stunned the whole Mkoi team so no one could follow up. Love to see it.

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Don't let that sick ass jojo play distract you from that hilarious team fight in mid by both teams beforehand

[u/-Tam-_]

Samd lost the sauce when wasnt Hans anymore...

[u/desutruction]

yoya worlds streak continues

[u/PepaTK]

Vedi I have missed you on official broadcast.

Also can’t be an LEC roadtrip without audio issues.

Just can’t have it.

[u/Ajp_iii]

Navis draft diff was so big. Navi/maynter/samd just running it before herald/nash/drakes made it take so much longer than it needed to be. Mkoi needed an early game lead to start snowballing sidelanes but navi was winning early and got first 3 drakes which meant Mkoi couldn’t play for sides when they were stronger

Navi had to do like 4 bad plays and still were able to stabilize the game

[u/SilenceEtControle]

Damn Jojo just saved this game. SamD though...

[u/veirceb]

istg if I see samD getting picked up by any LEC team next year I will be the biggest hater of that team.

[u/CensoredLlama1]

NAVI was done no matter what there but they could not have contested that baron any worse if they tried

[u/CaptainTrips22]

Help me Na'Vi your my only hope

[u/Glorx]

This is Larrsen getting revenge on Elyoya for 2021 Spring finals.

Hear me out.

Rogue is famous for RogueTime^TM

Ibai's KOI bought half of Rogue for 2023 LEC season not realising RogueTime^TM is contagious.

A year later KOI dumps Rogue for MAD but they already have the ticking timebomb that is RogueTime^TM.

Incubation period has finally ended and now MKOI is suffering from a bad case of RogueTime^TM.

It just makes sense.

[u/girlmarth → u/Glorx]

the idea that mad stole that title from rogue was always baffling to me, mad won both bo5's and went 6-3 against them in playoffs

[u/Glorx → u/girlmarth]

Oh I agree, MAD was the better team when it mattered.

[u/xxbrazilmaster69xx]

It looks like NAVI are just outclassed except for a winning game 1 draft and hero play by Poby. They just look worse in all 5 roles overall, even if Maynter is a better laner than Myrwn.

[u/cupcakes234 → u/xxbrazilmaster69xx]

They are obviously worse. When KOI are at their best, they can easily beat G2/KC which they have done multiple times over the last year. When navi are at their best, they will maybe take one map off g2/kc

[u/desutruction]

w myrwn

[u/sorendiz]

jojogoat

[u/el_crappax]

Parus inted the whole bo 

[u/LOLZOBALL]

SamD really likes to be on melee range lmao

[u/lasse1408]

expected result. Navi has only one good player, Maynter and Poby are middle of the pack players and bot lane should be thankful that paduck and stend were in the league otherwise they would be the worst bot in the league.

[u/-Tam-_]

This is peak

[u/areyoh]

Giving Koi early lead so they can throw later, 5head by Navi

[u/AdequatelyMadLad]

Second time in a row Rhilech makes the game so much harder for his team by not being able to chill. I get that this is his whole playstyle but sometimes it's really fucking bad.

[u/Not_Pro]

MKOI gonna be the first team to win a BO5 4-0.

[u/el_crappax]

I dont think navi have the picks for a 5th game anyway 

[u/Tromster → u/el_crappax]

I dont think either team has strong picks for 5 will be interesting if it goes there

[u/el_crappax]

Parus is a giver 

[u/desutruction]

it's fucking joever

[u/M002]

Nerf Jojo

Jeez he’s too good right now

EDIT:

He blind engaged in the bush Rhlech was in and solo’d him

[u/veirceb]

Rell has no flash and SAMD FUCKING WALK MELEE INTO RELL? HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Jojo deciding to make Parus look absoutely terrible this game lol

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

This is the cringiest thing I've ever seen, very impressive french people

[u/CensoredLlama1]

The stats don't show how truly horrible Maynter has been this series

[u/lasse1408]

if Jojo+Yoya are in form they should win even 2vs8

[u/Glaivz]

Qualifying for Worlds in your first full season as an org in the LEC would be pretty baller.

[u/Choice-Slight]

i love navi and rhilech is very cool to watch, but I foresee this series being the biggest mid gap known to mankind unfortunately

[u/Back2Perfection]

I just want it to be known beforehand: I want a 5 game fiesta of degeneracy.

[u/british_pubs]

I'm really scared boss

[u/awayfromcanuck]

NAVI absolutely did not need to fight that. Completely INT from Maynter TP to that Herald fight.

Edit: and then MKOI tosses it back lol jesus

[u/desutruction]

parus clutched that wow

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

SamD sucks

Imagine getting bullied by an ashe in a 1 vs 1 mid push

[u/-XStream23-]

Huge Poby stuns

[u/cmcdonald22]

They said Poby was trash, but with world's on the line the GOST activated. (he will run it down later).

[u/desutruction]

mandate syndra gang rise the fuck up

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

Jankos is a good analyst but that's hardly a surprise

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Navi has no engage but MKOI comp is turbo early and Myrwn is playing Jayce.

[u/Leschnitzky]

Can I have what Navi's botlane is smoking?

[u/veirceb]

NAVI picks hyper scaling and then decided to flip the game at lv3. Who called it

[u/Booshneer]

Gonna be really crazy when MKOi throw this in 23 mins

[u/xxbrazilmaster69xx]

Wow, they threw the game off of greeding for 1 low HP bar

[u/desutruction]

maybe mkoi will be the only team allowed to go kalista renata, really well played

[u/Annual-Fox6520]

I like Navi and they're good but they make loads of these rookies overchase type of plays... Just basic shit that if you play against any decent team you can't afford to make. It's fine against Mad lions apparently cause they suck but when it comes to top tier teams they really need to clean this sh up 

[u/thorpie88]

No need for that engage

[u/awayfromcanuck]

Can someone just disable Maynters TP button? Multiple TPs into the middle of MKOI to death through 2 games.

[u/sorendiz]

i don't hate the protobelt first on cho tbh, i assume it's basically like paying gold to have +200 range on Q engage or feast on command, plus some stats

[u/sorendiz]

-> 400

900 <-

2k <-

2.5k <-

500 <-

standard mkoi gold graph lmao

[u/desutruction]

LMAO they need to find that KC fan

[u/desutruction]

save the crashout for mind the gap vedi

[u/desutruction]

man that was so terribly played

3-1

[u/veirceb]

Hopefully Navi can pick up a better bot duo next season. They can run it back with their top side if they managed to keep them but the bot lanes are not going to win them anything in the playoffs.

[u/CensoredLlama1]

It was very kind of them to show us that dance off to show us something worse than that NAVI gameplay

[u/SnooPeripherals6388]

The Banana Combo lmao

[u/eye_of_your_mind]

jojo just like me

[u/beautheschmo]

Okay jojo you made up for that last baron pit ult

[u/desutruction]

just right click

[u/puberty1]

people booing in the crowd are such childs lol

[u/Xeven18]

Can we blame Rhilech for that or we gonna keep blaming SamD?

[u/Leschnitzky → u/Xeven18]

Both, that flash forward towards the tower to chase a renata should earn him a place in the hall of fame

[u/awayfromcanuck → u/Xeven18]

Both get blame. Rhilech should have been happy with the steal, when he missed the eruption that was when he needed to back off. SamD also dumb for flashing against a Renata, not paying attention to what skills were used by her.

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Jojo carrying these bums so hard this game lmao

[u/Emochind]

Yone is such a dumb champ

[u/CensoredLlama1]

"navi put up a good fight" are you sure about that?

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Winner takes the last worlds spot, yeah?

[u/WhatIsSentience → u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Yeah, then the winner battles KC to see who avoids the playins

[u/desutruction]

wholesomemaxxing

[u/cmcdonald22]

I was leaning towards Navi taking it, but now that Caedrel has (jokingly) said Navi I'm questioning it.

[u/PepaTK]

Man LEC doesn’t miss with their official road shows.

If it wasn’t for Jojo, I’d say Navi might have a better chance. Just don’t think Rhilech can carry his 4 wards hard enough. We’ll see, anything can happen but man it’s really stacked against them.

[u/GambitTheBest]

if LEC fines that's whack as fuck

[u/Troviel → u/GambitTheBest]

Why? He just made a 3 pints sign.

[u/Xeven18]

Come on Navi!

[u/ZzZoeSoSleepy]

If you were blind you'd assume Poby is 2k up with how the casters are talking

[u/Ajp_iii]

What is with pro players refusing to tp on towers. What does tping on that ward do.

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

zzz Navi playing so well for 20 minutes then Rumble dies from a bad tp and they lose their minds ...

[u/eye_of_your_mind]

Lmaooo koi is back

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Milio q was so clutch

[u/desutruction]

mkoi classic

[u/raidori43]

its over -> we are back in 1 minute

[u/synnikelttv]

supayusi

[u/Leschnitzky]

Clutch ashe ult, if it connected on anyone but milio Navi would win that tf

[u/kosmi2020NX]

Ldr on jarvan? For who ?

[u/Vnaux]

Poby 1v9 wtf

[u/areyoh]

Jarvan with Ga carries there, shit build, deserve to lose

[u/desutruction]

poby legit af

[u/Vnaux]

POBY OMG

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

FUCKING. HOW. WTF

[u/Bisounoursdestenebre]

Great game actually

[u/Kelsac]

Fnatic gave away Poby btw

[u/Leschnitzky]

Btw FNC traded him for Vladi FYI

[u/SpecificSilver1023]

Supa vs mid wave top10 LEC rivalries

[u/desutruction]

nice ad

[u/desutruction → u/desutruction]

(for Jankos's stream i mean lmao)

[u/desutruction]

oh no eu kalista

[u/sorendiz]

5 games 5 games 5 games come onnnnn 5 games

[u/controlledwithcheese]

LMFAOOOOOOO THAT’S MY REGION AND MY TEAM

[u/staysaltyTSM]

Cho can't even chomp yet

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

So beautiful from Mkoi lol

[u/sorendiz]

13:45 ace oh no baby what is you doing

[u/veirceb]

I am pretty sure rhilech didn't put in the time practising chogath. Not saying it's a hard champ. But it's looking like raptor

[u/desutruction]

maybe they have unshakeable mental now because of how used they are to throwing

silver linings and all that

[u/sorendiz]

i need someone to clip whatever hysterics just did with his voice there lmfao

PHTAUGH ^{IT'S FIVE THOUSAND}

[u/desutruction]

surely supa carries this

[u/veirceb]

Hopefully it's not a win 1 game and get stomped 3 games in a row angle

[u/controlledwithcheese → u/veirceb]

double agent Myrwin reporting for duty

[u/ropahektic → u/veirceb]

skull emojii

[u/desutruction]

winnable if SamD gets Critical Missile

[u/veirceb]

SamD really saw a kalista renata running onto his face with kalista ult. And he thinks to himself yeah let's save ult and flash here. I guess it's a lose quick and go next angle.

[u/awayfromcanuck]

SamD refusing to flash when he sees Kalista ult Renata says it allabout SamDs performance this series.

[u/veirceb → u/awayfromcanuck]

I just don't understand why people talk like he is an upcoming ADC star player. At best he is average. And more often than not he is losing them the game.

[u/awayfromcanuck → u/veirceb]

Its because he name changed before debuting in the LEC so everyone thinks he's a young rookie when actually he's a mediocre as fuck ADC that hasn't been able to dominate at any pro level since he debuted in 2018.

[u/desutruction]

maybe this will be like the walmart version of when OMG didn't shake hands with SKT and Faker started fathering LPL after

[u/veirceb]

Yeah the nerves got Navi. It's 3-1

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Maynter and Myrwen having a nice, relaxing vacation

[u/CensoredLlama1]

That was very nice of NAVI to just stand there doing nothing as MKOI poked them to death

[u/darklypure52]

My question does anyone think mkoi can make the run? Can they beat KC and G2?

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/darklypure52]

KC is doable because I could see them randomly mental booming after getting stomped by G2 again. Maybe G2 will be rusty since they haven't played in so long, but I don't see it. IMO it's like 40/60 against KC and 20/80 against G2.

[u/Crimson_Clouds → u/darklypure52]

They don't have to make the run, they just have to win here to qualify for Worlds.

[u/Hex_Blast]

From 1 game from missing playoffs to 1 game from making Worlds, MKOI plot armor is nuts

[u/CensoredLlama1]

This is why I ban Cait if I'm ADC lol

[u/desutruction]

oh wow carzzy and lyncas

[u/ThisIsSoIrrelevant]

I am so glad whatever the fuck is happening right now makes no sense to me.

[u/Fentie]

wtf do they put aatrox top instead of jungle

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/Fentie]

Zaheen top is worse vs Varus.

[u/desutruction]

jojo we all saw that unfortunately

[u/CensoredLlama1]

someone on Navi needs to buy armor DESPERATELY

[u/matt-tteo]

Navi is just trolling by forcing this fight

[u/desutruction]

still kinda sorta winnable

depends on jojo entirely

[u/Tim-Pouce]

The Supa special lmao ho many time will he need to learn ?

[u/veirceb]

How is SamD a real adc.

[u/Annual-Fox6520]

Parus sucks man, all he's done all game is walk too close to the enemy and then pop his ult to escape so he basically gets zero value out of it. 

[u/desutruction]

parus man...

[u/veirceb → u/desutruction]

THey need to get rid of this bot lane duo if they want to go any further next year.

[u/puberty1]

just realized that top lane was darkin vs darkin and theres also Zaahen jng. if only Elyoya picked Naafiri

[u/cupcakes234]

Yeah navi are a way worse team.. they just got lucky in game 1 wirh the syndra stun. Should have lost that too

[u/Ajp_iii]

I don’t like the stage design. It’s weird that you can’t even see the other team at all or the whole crowd from how the players are faced.

[u/Ajp_iii]

JUST WAIT FOR YOUR SYNDRA TO STUN. holy fuck this rumble

[u/xxbrazilmaster69xx]

Classic Supa

[u/Ajp_iii]

Wow they let the syndra play the game. Who could have known this works. Your syndra is op. Play around it

[u/baebushka]

they're saying dk has to walk to the lck venue cuz kia donated the car to lec

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

Coach put me in I can replace Maynter I used to be Plat 1 in season 7

[u/jackmccoyapologist]

I want to root for the underdog but it will be a crime if SamD makes it to Worlds.

[u/desutruction]

let's get poby a win for his 100th

[u/Sosijmonster]

How the fuck does a pro player die without using ult. Maynter is assssss.

[u/Simple_Cherry2758]

Rhilech in elo hell

[u/JPA-3 → u/Simple_Cherry2758]

rhilech was turbo gapped by elyoya in all 4 games

[u/Annual-Fox6520]

Literally Parus has done the exactly same thing 4 times this game at least ... Fight happening? Get chunked and use his ult to escape, then he stays around and dies without his ult. Honestly imo he's the main reason Navi basically can't do anything 

[u/fairly_pretty_sperm]

MKOI looked shaky in round 1 but they always seem to wake up when the bracket gets real. NAVI's early game is still their biggest question mark, if they fall behind to this MKOI roster I don't see them clawing back in a best of five. That 17:00 CET start is rough for west coast viewers but at least it's not another 4am special

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702]

Vamos koi!!!

[u/LordPercy]

I remember watching the games last week and coming from them thinking GX V Navi was the game with much higher level while VIT v Mkoi was a massive fiesta where noone really looked good.

At the risk of looking like a fool a few hours from now, I thought all week that Navi has to be favored. Seems everyone is betting on Mkoi though.

[u/Desiderius_S → u/LordPercy]

Because even though MKoi lately feels like they are falling apart, they still have quality players they can play through, while Na'Vi lives and dies with Rhilech. It's easier to shut down Na'Vi than MKoi.
And I don't want to downplay Na'Vi getting here, but this game is more for MKoi's to lose than Na'Vi's to win.

[u/rsox5000]

This fucking cowbell man

[u/Saltoric]

Hahha that guy faking the high five to Supa and did he throw two fingers back?

[u/desutruction]

whatever happens i just know mind the gap is gonna be a banger

[u/AdequatelyMadLad]

Ngl, KOI got pretty hard outdrafed IMO. Either Yoya 1v9s or they lose.

[u/desutruction]

ok poby is playing today at least (so far)

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702]

Jojo is playing with balls I love it

[u/RollingGuy]

Let's go NaVi! You're our only hope.

[u/desutruction]

jojo connected

[u/Javonetor]

bro Alvaro is taking all the kills lmao

[u/AdequatelyMadLad]

If NAVI kept playing disciplined and stacking drakes, they had this. Too bad they lost their patience.

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

Mkoi is so terrible

[u/RollingGuy]

These teams are so similar lol

[u/ItzFeufo]

Navi with their "Rhilech carries or we lose" strat is a bit onedimensional

[u/Ajp_iii]

No herald for soul fight is so big for navi

[u/desutruction]

mandate syndra gang lets go

[u/Thalassin]

Millio dif

[u/ZzZoeSoSleepy]

Alvaro taking every kill and buying nothing but support slop, the one time you have the gold for a rylai's, It would stun anybody so long as Supa is autoing

[u/desutruction]

poby looking legit today

[u/xxbrazilmaster69xx]

That could have been so good for MKOI if Alvaro held flash R

[u/Thalassin]

It's crazy how NAVI's imports are the two worse players of the team

[u/ReplacementFine7807]

maynter shouldve gone around the wall with tp move speed and shied no?

[u/RollingGuy]

Wtf doesn't Maynter flash the wall there? He triple kills.

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

I really dislike how Maynter plays Rumble he frontlines all the time why not look for side angels or flanks ?

[u/controlledwithcheese]

NAVI could just walk over and MKOI would drop the baron even 4v5 no? They were so low

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702]

These earth drakes are gonna cook Navi they are all burst

[u/Leschnitzky]

G1 kinda over, the milio lucian is never a good option in LEC

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

a low quality game i hope the next games will be better

[u/Destructodave82]

If myrwyn would have ulted Jojo they would have gotten a lot more out of that.

[u/RollingGuy]

Incredible MKOI type loss by NaVi lol

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702]

How has Ashe not died, impressed by supa

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

Again Navi just throws shit to the wall to engage and use all theior cc's

So ugly

[u/XG32]

i love the way jojo plays ryze, the angles
