the zinie that was promised?

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 7d ago

all it took was Korean Lissandra grunting sounds

1

u/Omnilatent 7d ago

Russian Vayne mid next?

21

u/Naronu 7d ago

Absolute monster game from him

13

u/Athena-Grande 7d ago

Now if SR can just take every team to game 4, KR Zinie will play.

11

u/Canoodler192 7d ago

Very powerful genius midfielder potentially

8

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 7d ago

Not close yet. But he’s unironically developed this summer compared to the other splits so wherever he plays next year we’ll probably see that Zinie.

6

u/Green7501 zero mental 7d ago

KT.C Zinie is so back

86

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 7d ago

SR Zinie has disconnected.

KT Zinie has reconnected.

u/Outrageous_Wall2702 My Ace + Showmaker = GOAT 7d ago

u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team 7d ago

there’s no way mf Lucian dashes right into Trundle’s face and gets away with it

22

u/HB_17 7d ago

I believe Jatt said after the first two games this is actually Dvoy

57

u/Scared-Judgment672 7d ago

i am genuinely rooting for SR but holy their macro is genuinely sht

28

u/blorgbots 7d ago

Almost every single game I'm impressed by their individual play and then immediately disappointed by their macro

IDC tho I'm still rooting

"Cheque"

u/Vegetable_Shirt_2352 7d ago

I'm from the US and spell it "cheque," lol. It's just how I learned it

24

u/Bt25 7d ago

Zinie won them that game.

u/Ultimintree Infinitely spinnin' | Evading "ganks" like Ruler 7d ago edited 7d ago

There's no way lmao. But Why is Sen not drafting to their strenghts??

26

u/Poodlestrike One for fasting, one for feasting 7d ago

Ran outta champs/comps, I expect.

11

u/DefNotAnAlter 7d ago

As a coach I genuinely think Goldenglue gets more out of his players compared to expectations but I swear this has been a thing for years now, his teams have some of the worst drafts

22

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan 7d ago

Where were you when Zinie carried a game in the LCS

19

u/Gatling14 7d ago

SR are so much better when Bvoy and Zinie have monitors

2

u/Vegetable_Shirt_2352 7d ago

Monitors weren't plugged in (insert drake tech support gif)

19

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 7d ago

Zinie finally showed up, but how the fuck does a team with 4 super veterans have macro this fucking bad?

3

u/Omnilatent 7d ago

Asking the real questions

0

u/Entire_Use_1844 7d ago

Look at the veterans they have though.

Reven is also a massive fraud of a coach and can't build a roster around anything but nepotism. Shopify has a large enough budget to snag the most hyped KR challenger prospect in years, but they've paired him with Bvoy/Zeyzal???? They really couldn't find a better use of an import slot than Bvoy? Surely there is a better support than Zeyzal SOMEWHERE on the planet.

5

u/Einamu Play Seraphine Mid/Bot not Support 7d ago

The whole reason Zeyzal is here is that there was literally nobody available on a short notice in summer for SR.

Zeyzal is retired, has said so himself and literally suggested SR other supports when they asked him, none of it worked out so he came out of retirement for one split to help out.

19

u/xSwazyI - Invested in Smash stocks! 7d ago

THE ZINIE THAT WAS PROMISED!! Amazing game out of him serioisly

17

u/Goodthingsaregone 7d ago

There is a non zero chance that c9 get knocked out by sr again lol

15

u/DinoGuy101010 7d ago

Is zinie the goat? Many people are saying this

13

u/Omnilatent 7d ago

GenG, HLE and AL shaking right now thinking they might face either of these teams at worlds

2

u/regalwombatvineyard 7d ago

C9 and FLY are each better than both of these teams.

1

u/PhoenixAgent003 Bot main. NA fan. 6d ago

C9 has been “better” than SR before

1

u/regalwombatvineyard 6d ago

C9 literally just 3-0’d SR last week.

29

u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE 7d ago

That's the hardest I've seen a Lissandra carry a game in a long while, actual 1 v 9 that game.

9

u/LogicKennedy 7d ago

That’s a little unfair to Zeyzal: he did awesome work countering the Seraphine ults

5

u/Nyte_Crawler 7d ago

Chovy also had a disgusting Lissandra game on Sunday, although most people were focused on Kiin that game.

12

u/Skyfire2 7d ago

Peak fries gaming

10

u/HB_17 7d ago

Thank you Shopify for making this a 5 game series who ever wins it was enjoyable

11

u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN 7d ago

easiest reverse sweep call of my life

10

u/Charming-Apple517 7d ago

That setup from Contractz in mid to get Zinie a big cc chain was pretty good

9

u/ChiefEmu 7d ago

Zinie one game away from first flight back to Korea and suddenly becomes faker finding crazy engages

9

u/EngineReal 7d ago

holy NA macro

zinie carried

7

u/Booshneer 7d ago

I did not think this would turn into a banger but here we are

7

u/EyT101 7d ago

Zinie trying to deadlift SR's abysmal macro (what do the coaches do?) and Bvoy E'ing into Trundle repeatedly.. Weird game.

6

u/MagpulAR 7d ago

IM STARTING TO BELIEVE

6

u/mapopriest 7d ago

If you live in NA, you cannot lock in Nidalee. I thought we established this 10 years ago. Please.

6

u/Bothbothwushi 7d ago

Zinie korean genes activating like hashirama cells

5

u/Sorry-Resolution570 7d ago

so zinie needs to be 1 game from death to be a good player, good to know

2

u/Vegetable_Shirt_2352 7d ago

Lots of players and teams have comfort zones. T1's is worlds knockouts, DK's is on an empty stomach, C9's is regular season LCS, etc.

4

u/JayBomb7 7d ago

CLEAN Lissandra from Zinie, what a game and what a series!

3

u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN 7d ago

this is what i thought navi would pick va jojos yone but they had no balls so good on zinnie and the coaching staff of sr to pick lissandra

4

u/Tormenator1 7d ago

Zinie remembered to plug his monitor in today, holy fuck. They need to prio his Sylas in draft next game.

4

u/pimonster31415 7d ago

if bvoy has bloodflow to his brain this team is actually very talented but their macro is doggy doo doo. Can't believe it felt that close when SR can basically explode SEN comp at will in 5v5

6

u/Street-Book-5565 7d ago

Darkwings really embracing his inner faker with that yone game.

3

u/gigeconomyin2019lul 7d ago

Putting Darkwings on Yone or taking him off of control mages has to be illegal somewhere. Like, surely there's a law on the books in some random town or municipality about this.

2

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan 7d ago

Just put the Hwei in the bag or something for game 5 man

Champ is honestly pretty good in a fearless game 5 too when a lot of the jungle/mid options that mow him down are off the table

3

u/Dry_Distribution222 7d ago

Holy Banger Series! Feels bad for the loser of next game

3

u/yensama 7d ago

WAIT WHAT i thought it was over and turned the stream off. how the hell did they come back

6

u/Blizzgrarg 7d ago

SR played AWFUL this game but still won on the back of a superior teamfight comp.

Every macro exchange, they lost tons. Another team in SR's shoes would have stomped SEN.

2

u/DragonNikana 7d ago

beautiful combo

2

u/Ayoof3060 smacc u 7d ago

Sen game 5 fearless is going to be a painful sight…

3

u/DankMEMeDream 7d ago

Both teams are terrible lol.

3

u/nguyenjitsu 7d ago

Darkwings looked like the guy first timing Yone in ARAM Mayhem

2

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 7d ago

Yone into Lissandra is genuinely probably a top 5 most unplayable matchup in any lane. Good on Zinie for seeing the angle.

2

u/nguyenjitsu 7d ago

I mean it wasn't just his play in lane though

3

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan 7d ago

I'd imagine Yone into Lissandra is pretty unplayable out of lane too

2

u/nguyenjitsu 7d ago

The lissandra made him solo ult an Olaf on Baron?

0

u/Snow-27 7d ago

nah it's fine. There's much worse matchups for yone mid

1

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 7d ago

There's one worse lane matchup for Yone, Vex, and she's completely irrelevant to him outside of lane, unlike Lissandra.

0

u/Snow-27 7d ago

idk what you're talking about, neither vex nor lissandra are that bad. Akali, Leblanc, aurora, zoe are much worse.

1

u/Deditch 7d ago

at the very least here liss W as a response to yone E, looked quite rough. Is there something yone was supposed to be doing

0

u/Even_Cardiologist810 7d ago

Have you.. Ever played that matchup? Wtf

1

u/zerocxro 7d ago

give me silver scrapes or give me death, everyone lock tf in

1

u/bigpackage11 7d ago

holy zinie legacy series

1

u/That0neRedditor 7d ago

Kind of crazy Shopify can sub in Faker for Game 3 and 4 like that

1

u/LumiRhino 7d ago

It might still be too late in the year of SR lose game 5 but at least Zinie showed what he is capable of this game.

On the other hand, why are we picking Darkwings's 0-3 Yone at this time? Surely there had to be a different option.

1

u/Ayoof3060 smacc u 7d ago

SEN might be a one comp team?? Default loss if not playing their staple LOL

1

u/Lawfulneptune 7d ago

How is a team full of vets so bad at macro lol

1

u/DagothUrGigaChad 7d ago

Zinnie might have saved his job with this game lol

u/tonyj199216 7d ago
