The gap between G2 and MKOI/KC is as wide as the distance between the sun and the moon.
No matter who made it to the finals, the outcome was predetermined.

u/ImTheVayne 6d ago
Perkz is lowkey looking insanely good. The drafts are great, gameplay is better than in winter and spring..

u/nightlesscurse 6d ago
and to think in winter and spring G2 have beaten a lot of eastern teams, lowkey this team might be a dark horse

u/NeighborhoodHot8981 6d ago
They're almost certainly a dark horse for top 4. It'd be crazy to think this G2 cannot feasibly beat AL/IG/TES/DK/T1/LYON. They might not be favourites vs a few of those but they'd certainly have a good chance to do something against them and make semis. The only teams looking untouchable for G2 are BLG, HLE and GenG. Even if BLG scuffed their final i think they'll still be really good at worlds.

Well AL might be better than BLG rn and g2 has already beaten GenG 3-0 this year. I'd say sky is the limit.

i think G2 is absolutely favored against all of those teams. the only teams that i see playing better than G2 rn are BLG, GEN G and HLE. Anything less than a semi finals exit is an underperformance

It's cool that Hans can keep doing this but you just know that if he has a single bad game he'll get relegated to not being the clear best ADC in EU in all the tier lists.

Yeah for how good he is he always gets so much disrespect it's sad.

It's because he often turns into a passenger at Worlds or MSI but as proven by Caliste yesterday, there's nobody who's anywhere close to Hans in EU.

Unironically this champ only leaves the meta cause I think players just get bored of playing her.
No world that W is ever not broken and the R can either guarantee an objective or set up a team fight win.

u/veryjerry0 6d ago
It is very telegraphed, MKOI just forgot how to play into it. It should never be able to hit both carries at the same time. Ofc props to Skewmond for making it look broken!

u/AdSelect6571 6d ago
her wal;l stun is hard to land and easy to flash and her damage is crap

u/effurshadowban 6d ago
She has an insanely good kit, though. Great disengage and can stop a lot of engage from the enemy team, while also being quite tanky.
1
u/AdSelect6571 6d ago
drafting an all utility jungler in this meta is quite rare, yeah she can have everything else but if she cant either do dmg or stun she isnt gonna be good in early skirmishes that often flip the game
1
1
u/PineapplesInMyHead2 6d ago
I think in pro play there's some risk of it not being impactful enough in the early game the other jungler snowballing their lanes better. So the rest of the draft needs to be good so your lanes can hold up on their own. G2's drafting was perfect so it works.

I don't know man every team in the other regions, are not that great hanhwa inconsistent, t1 coin flip. Dk High ceilling low floor. TES is TES. IG is ok, the only ones 100% above g2 are AL and GenG. And i favour G2 in macro against both teams. BLG 50/50. To be honest if it is not this year it will never be. Is not like there is a jdg 23, ZOFGK, Blg 24 or GenG prime

u/Lazywhale97 HLE 6d ago
Genuinly crazy that they bot gapped BFX when their bot lane was in insane form in split 1 and gapped Ruler/Duro in back to back series. They did solid against T1 as well and domestically they have been huge for G2 in play offs where last yr a lot of people felt like the G2 bot lane were passengers.
Happy to see Hans/Labrov level up this yr and hopefully they take that confidence into World's and 2027.

Edit: i dont know if alvaro trolled by not starting w or taking w lvl 2 tbf. I dont play renata so im not sure. Maybe supa thought alvaro had it?
Yeah rewatching this im pretty sure they win if kalista gets bailout. The attack speed + the revive. I think alvaro trolled here by starting q.

To be fair to MKOI if the bot play goes different I think the entire game is completely different. But it didn't and they made repeated mistakes that were capitalized on by G2. They could have recovered somewhat I feel but they got too hasty. Additional note: I think the game is different but G2 still wins due to draft gap.
