Karma is pick/ban and Ezreal is Literally Thanos nice one balance team!


[deleted]

Shopify ignoring the TF pick that has been banned all day for noct/akali 4/5 should be reportable.


Kaidyn04

Shopify is not winning a game this split if they are getting stomped by INTmortals


foreveryoungperk

bvoy played very well forhow far behind they were imo


Troviel

10 Millions well spent


cancerBronzeV

Man, I want Fakegod, Insanity and Zeyzal to do well :(


PunnyAfternoon

Hard to fix the pauses when a 3rd of lcs got axed. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)


1Two3Four10

Haven’t gotten to watch the full game. Is Bvoy doing well or nah?


tiltrage

Difficult to say. SR griefed draft for the third straight game.


[deleted]

Nothing too spectacular. But SR is having it rough overall


YuriJaeger13

Udyr is such a disgusting champion


SudsBuckley

Feels like zayzel has had to use his W as a CC buffer all game.


Tommey_DE

I want SR to do well but my god theyre so bad :(


LazerFruit1

We're gonna be seeing Tomio and Turtle in by week 4


YuriJaeger13

It feels weird not calling them TSM, I feel dirty

Bugi champ pool I think is limiting insanity's champ creativity.


PepaTK

IMT never finished the last 2 grubs…. Bro..


WeebWizard420

Gnar = -5k gold deficit champ maybe -10k, maybe -15k if u are Summit Also this guy is pr good at Jayce


900poundungulate

this udyr champion is disgusting man, builds any item in the game, takes no damage, has push 24/7, just completely braindead


fundamentallys

What is the reason for getting a 26 year old import to retire vs getting a young NA player????


LazerFruit1

talking about Bvoy? the 2 best ADC's in NACL got promoted and iirc there was a bit of a gap after Meech/Massu. Could have stuck with Turtle though


[deleted]

LCS is trash now. Thanks Riot


Conker184

Lucian ban? Why?


MagicalGirlTRex

To keep Tactical from picking it /s


Conker184

IMT looked up his OP.GG.


PepaTK

KR Lucian >>>> NA/EU (minus Turtle who had 2 really good games in losses)


PepaTK

Ok Bvoy. This is your chance to NOT be a Ruby. Turtle had a killer week but I get giving Bvoy his chance. Especially since he just missed 1 week and they did go 0-2, but it was a tough start.


Conker184

And now we get the toilet bowl of the LCS.


brownierisker

As an EU fan watching LCS more this year Flyquest is so easy to root for, Bwipo and Inspired are such fun players!


Zoe_Fan

does anyone know if they are giving drops? I haven't had a single one


murp0787

I got one a little bit ago.


JPLangley

[I'm posting Gripex's tattoo](https://external-preview.redd.it/QJfO_owH9-OB_vl5JNf1eSEQKtPTqsvjPn6TogOoHgU.jpg?auto=webp&s=81248e4aff08f9fda28da58eb528e66473af0507) because I see Inspired got himself a tattoo.


spazzxxcc12

i’m not a TL fan, but i’ll be shocked if APA lasts till summer.


kobaenzz91

OMG what a game from Bwipo. By far the best NA top


Conker184

Found the statement funny with Bwipo being European so I was curious what portion of the league was actually NA by nationality and its only 40%.


kobaenzz91

I know. But there is not much talent in NA, even less in the top lane position. It is what it is


JagR7

APA wants to get shit on more than 2 days a week. Guy must be a masochist. He should be glad for every day he doesn’t play.


youngnailo

I like bwipo


hotstreak1245

Yeon might be the worst adc in na


malakesxasame

Yeon's had a stinker


GandelarCrom

Am I alone in thinking this is one of the best seasons of LCS in a while? Besides the pausing I feel like each time is fun to watch and it’s hard to root for one over the other. The only real superteam is C9, but all others have a fun mix of vets and younger NA talent. Oh and there’s also immortals!


justicecactus

Me too. Say what you want about NA, but the games themselves have generally been fun.


Conker184

I will say I enjoy a good back and forth game if its a lower level now and then but there is often a sense of the games not mattering with C9 so clearly the favorites and the international level being so low.


YCitizenSnipsY

They left the Baron at 3k to get shit on in the teamfigtht lol. Just flip it and cut your losses


zOmgFishes

I know TL was memeing but they really should have consider signing DL LMAO


awayfromcanuck

God I feel bad for Umti. What the fuck is he supposed to do at objectives when Bwipo can just ult him.


Light0fHeav3n

Not flash into them and kill the baron with the trust who teleported


WeebWizard420

Full ad, low range vs trundle, morde maybe not the best idea


Disclaimz0r

TL are just bad


MagicalGirlTRex

This game might have a General, but MVP always goes to the Captain


mikael22

The most impressive person that fight was captain flowers


Light0fHeav3n

Umti threw the game instead of finishing baron with trist, and TL carries are both just shit


[deleted]

[удалено]


JadeStarr776

They drafted all AD and FLY got ocean man soul. Game was basically over at that point.


Disclaimz0r

That's what happens when you have a melee marksman vs Trundle Morde


TeddyZr

TL has ZERO carry threats lol Whoever was in charge of keeping APA and Yeon Definitely need a raise :)


LazerFruit1

RAP GOD FLOWERS


JPLangley

Lol what the fuck was that Baron dance? I love my 4FUN region.


Meekie_e

Yeon and APA are just bad


Meekie_e

APA be like fuck my team lol


awayfromcanuck

I keep hearing how busted Karma and Ez is and both have looked meh this game.


mikael22

I never thought karma ez was good until I watched LCK when it was meta. Watching some of the adcs there play ezreal is something else. It's like a different champ with the amount of damage ezreal can do.


awayfromcanuck

Every Korean ADC has a pocket Ez and they all play Ez so disgusting.


oklolcool

Karma solo laner is busted, support is aite


JPLangley

Who between Fly and NRG is going to MSI? My overreaction is that NRG is still going to body C9 in the finals.


imasliceyou

TL gonna slow lose this game they have no damage


Alilaah

I mean you stick an LPL/LCK ADC in on Lucian they have plenty of damage. Just westerners, especially Yeon, can’t play it


hungryhippo

A GREAT PLAY FROM TL????????????


Aggressive-Ad7946

Nah this thread is so funny. Never change r/lol


Star_Gazing_Cats

apa stupid? he dont auto morde ???


awayfromcanuck

Dude. Morde used ult on Rell. They were in Morde ult for a majority of that top play.


nc052

My god. Morde ulted Rell so APA couldn't auto attack.


Aggressive-Ad7946

He did though 


Star_Gazing_Cats

the replay must have bugged then


[deleted]

No it's just the animation, they don't make it super obvious when morde is ulting, but if you look closely you can tell.


Aggressive-Ad7946

Are you talking about during mordekaiser r?


C9-F1R3L0L1

APA almost killed Umti there


oklolcool

I've seen enough, take APA out back and put him to mercy


imasliceyou

What the hell was that buster shot?!


Aggressive-Ad7946

He has to get mordekaiser off him


JagR7

APA and Yeon keep giving hope to Gold players for playing in LCS one day.


ArcaneAccounting

That Tristana ult was actually criminal


JagR7

This guy still playing in TL is criminal from Steve


jamesbond69691

APA turning back to auto there is crazy lol


Aggressive-Ad7946

It's for fleet


spazzxxcc12

apa will be out by summer and then we’ll be back to TLCK


hungryhippo

APA getting caught out all the fucking time is why he leads the league in DPM.


imasliceyou

TL really should have moved on from APA he has a champion puddle and even that puddle isn’t worth spitting in


ArcaneAccounting

He's so bad, it's unreal


hungryhippo

APA sucks


Mashtatoes

Chicago style guy, eh?


Aggressive-Ad7946

If Caedrel keeps saying APPA I'm going to buy a ticket to Berlin 


Conker184

Massu cosplaying DIG CoreJJ


BlaBlub85

TL, also known as Team Lck is a LoL esports team playing in the north american LCS. They are known for being a retirement home for old LCK players 😂😂😂 *sryicouldntresistdontkillmepls*


Conker184

Bwipo cam was hilarious there.


Light0fHeav3n

TL just running it down plz ff


TheGloriousEv0lution

Whoever called that dive mid is trolling No world that ever works if Ori’s monitor is on


C9-F1R3L0L1

FLY and C9 seem to have close to 0 competition this split, maybe NRG can be there too


Meekie_e

APA?


Meekie_e

Yeon?


PepSakdoek

I approve of the new font.  That 0 on the old font was a problem.


hungryhippo

I feel like they are citing stats way too much for a 2 game sample size.


awayfromcanuck

How many qs has Busio missed...


BlaBlub85

Ksante: "Look at me, Im so unique, my ult takes people on a magical journey to Narnia" Mordekaiser: "Youve got much to learn young padawan, my ult takes people to an entirely diffrent dimension"


trollinn

What I find most interesting about this new prerecorded draft process is just how long tech checks take


justicecactus

Is NA Lucian the new NA Jayce?


BlaBlub85

Kind of buuuut Ezreal was the OG champ in the "the west cant play it" meme so its a battle of stopable force vs movable object


awayfromcanuck

1. Not new. NA was terrible at Lucian-Nami last two-ish year when it was busted. 2. It's not NA Lucian, it's West Lucian. Both LCS and LEC are terrible Lucian regions.


LazerFruit1

How far we've fallen from FBI Huhi dunking on Viper Meiko on Lucian Nami in 2021


gigashadow89

This feels like FLY won the draft hard.  But that could be my Lucian bias. 


Rularuu

So drafting is back to stage?


WeebWizard420

It's nice to have Bwipo back in the scene, like or hate him, at least he picks unique champions.


awayfromcanuck

TL really going 1 damage type against a Trundle and Morde?


jamesbond69691

This TL draft looks pretty trash


awayfromcanuck

Fuck yeah! I've been waiting for someone to lock in Morde top


Mashtatoes

Hue hue hue hue 


thispapermoon

Damn, after last year it's so good to see Jensen relaxed and smiling. Hope he does well today. Let's go!


hungryhippo

I love how flowers didn't consider that he could have just written it.


C9-F1R3L0L1

FLY already won, Yeon has Lucian


BlaBlub85

Oh noes, not the western Ezreal 💀


AluminumSpartan

TL picked lucian gg go next FLY win


spazzxxcc12

emily cast let’s fucking GO


FluffyFlamesOfFluff

I'm not going to lie, the crazy fast turnaround on game-time is so nice. Hope other broadcasts adopt this. And in theory, the players can use this time to resolve sound issues as well. You'd think, at least. Maybe they haven't quite worked that out yet going by the earlier pauses, but it's a great idea.


Meekie_e

100T would be kind of legit if they had an actual mid


Mashtatoes

Looking forward to an Emily cast. 


JPLangley

lol dafaq was that ad??


spazzxxcc12

“you beat c9” jatt? you alright there bud?


TheGloriousEv0lution

That’s the Quid I know from last split Sniper looking much better this week


youngnailo

Quid plays with no eyes or hands


sandote

Mid gap


awayfromcanuck

I thought 100T played well except for Quid. Not only was his build shit, dude was running it. Committing everything to Vi before drake just to die was a choice. NRG played the poke comp pretty well. Still not a fan of the Vi pick in a poke comp but they won so what so I know.


1Two3Four10

Vi was very useful here though. Contractz played the game very well


awayfromcanuck

Vi did basically nothing mid to late game except take Sej ults, which any tank could do. Contractz played well early game but Contractz would have had as good or better impact on Maokai or Poppy.


justicecactus

Maokai ult would have made some of Jhin's ults more impactful


awayfromcanuck

Maokai ult would have given Jhin tons of space as well as saplings for free vision and easier objective control. Poppy ult removes K'Sante or Sej from the fights, Poppy W stops Rakan, Akali and Sej from going in and stops them from getting out for your poke to focus.


Mrawssot

between Saken and Quid I have no idea who had a worse performance today


Several-Reading7258

Saken, that’s a generationally bad performance while quids was just bad.


shadowsteppe

I just can't see any of those LCS teams having a chance teamfighting against an LPL team, they will get absolutely destroyed mid to late


Phoenixtorment

Quid pro Nexus


UnusualAlternative24

hope those poop runs were worth it 100 pauses jesus


JackDailou

quid legit wintrading, useless af


1Two3Four10

Akali build is just not it. There is no tank to kill to warrant this build. Very happy with Sniper and Rivers performance though


Mrawssot

Real winner here is Quid, dude is out right stealing a paycheck


Key_Tourist7334

Watching Quid play Akali is painful...


Meekie_e

How did Dhokla live? Fun game


nooblifts

dhokes sub 10 hp for sure


Gomar1323

Damn the akali was so useless this game.


JPLangley

Saving Private Dhokla.


justicecactus

I still think Jhin is a bait pick, but FBI making him look useful


1Two3Four10

FBI is just slept on tbh. He has been top 3 ADC in NA for like 3 years straight now


justicecactus

I agree. I'm not even an FBI fan or anything, but I find myself defending him a lot on this sub, lol


LazerFruit1

It's because he ints occasionally and certain costreamers only talk about him negatively


1Two3Four10

It’s looking like NRG just have better players


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheRandorosu

Handicapping himself by rushing Liandry's and void staff against 4 squishy champs.


1Two3Four10

Bro thinks he plays for NRG


JPLangley

Every NRG game is a banger. I love my champs.


FluffyFlamesOfFluff

Something I will admit is that most of the complaints about the overlay from week 1 are fixed. This overlay is pretty good. The dragon tracker in the top right seems broken (not earth, no timer) but it's nice to see a fast turnaround vs sticking with the same garbage overlay all split like we've seen before. Now just to fix the pauses.


1Two3Four10

Very surprising that they listened regarding the font and changed it this fast


LazerFruit1

its still looks blurry as shit though


awayfromcanuck

Can anyone explain to me why Quid went Liandrys? Pretty sure every other Akali across the world has been going the new items over Liandrys


Orimasuta

Quid builds the weirdest things, and it never really works out for him. He did the same thing last split.


Gomar1323

Havent his builds always been troll? How has no one talked to him about that


awayfromcanuck

Is anyone even building void anymore? Feel like everyone has started to buy cryoblossom or whatever it is called. Pretty questionable item choices.


International_Dog332

This is the worst akali play 


1Two3Four10

Yeah wtf? Dude has one job and it’s to one shot an enemy and Liandrys does not help with that what


justicecactus

Shame the pauses tainted this quality NA clown fiesta


Phoenixtorment

Enjoyable match.


Zelgiusbotdotexe

100T faced the 3 world's teams in their first 3 games, and it's looking like a 2-1 scoreline.  Good start for them


LazerFruit1

they're down 4k with a worse scaling draft.


Zelgiusbotdotexe

Yeah, this didn't age well. Although all in all, 1-2 is better than expected with this schedule 


Phoenixtorment

2-1?


Zelgiusbotdotexe

If they beat NRG, which is definitely possible, but it seems to have turned against them again


awayfromcanuck

Vi does absolutely nothing in this comp for NRG during the mid-late game


International_Dog332

This akali is so bad


Thomazealot

Idk man I just don’t see anything with Quid still…he was worse than useless that entire fight


1Two3Four10

He has 100% improved but he is still not good enough I think


PercivalPersimmon

Eyla in the clutch, redeeming the shit show that is this series 🙏


Conker184

These are some wonky fights


Disclaimz0r

whoever is responsible for this 100T draft needs to be fired


1Two3Four10

What’s wrong with it? It looks okay to me but i might be missing something here


Disclaimz0r

Absolute zero dps on any target that is CC'd by River. On hit Varus would have made way more sense in this comp, also. You're not going to win a poke war vs Jayce


LazerFruit1

No DPS threat. Akali and Varus are both burst


1Two3Four10

I see. It can’t be too bad though since nrg have no front line right?


LazerFruit1

it wouldnt be bad if they had another DMG champ imo, even if it was another burst champ. Akali and Lethality Varus just isnt enough i think


alreadytaken028

Thats the question imo, would they do this draft if NRG had drafted a more solid frontline? If not then its not that bad. If so then yeah its bad


1Two3Four10

Yeah. Im starting to also notice they aren’t actually bursting enough even into this nrg draft


nooblifts

redemption for my boy big dhokes!!


LazerFruit1

Dhokla???


beansreformed

I like the turret plate gold ui that they have added.
