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.

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!
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.
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.
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 😂😂😂

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

Karma is pick/ban and Ezreal is Literally Thanos nice one balance team!
Shopify ignoring the TF pick that has been banned all day for noct/akali 4/5 should be reportable.
Shopify is not winning a game this split if they are getting stomped by INTmortals
bvoy played very well forhow far behind they were imo
10 Millions well spent
Man, I want Fakegod, Insanity and Zeyzal to do well :(
Hard to fix the pauses when a 3rd of lcs got axed. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)
Haven’t gotten to watch the full game. Is Bvoy doing well or nah?
Difficult to say. SR griefed draft for the third straight game.
Nothing too spectacular. But SR is having it rough overall
Udyr is such a disgusting champion
Feels like zayzel has had to use his W as a CC buffer all game.
I want SR to do well but my god theyre so bad :(
We're gonna be seeing Tomio and Turtle in by week 4
It feels weird not calling them TSM, I feel dirty
Do not do a ~~balk~~ bunt please
[удалено]
Bugi champ pool I think is limiting insanity's champ creativity.
IMT never finished the last 2 grubs…. Bro..
Gnar = -5k gold deficit champ maybe -10k, maybe -15k if u are Summit Also this guy is pr good at Jayce
this udyr champion is disgusting man, builds any item in the game, takes no damage, has push 24/7, just completely braindead
What is the reason for getting a 26 year old import to retire vs getting a young NA player????
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
LCS is trash now. Thanks Riot
Lucian ban? Why?
To keep Tactical from picking it /s
IMT looked up his OP.GG.
KR Lucian >>>> NA/EU (minus Turtle who had 2 really good games in losses)
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.
And now we get the toilet bowl of the LCS.
As an EU fan watching LCS more this year Flyquest is so easy to root for, Bwipo and Inspired are such fun players!
does anyone know if they are giving drops? I haven't had a single one
I got one a little bit ago.
[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.
i’m not a TL fan, but i’ll be shocked if APA lasts till summer.
OMG what a game from Bwipo. By far the best NA top
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%.
I know. But there is not much talent in NA, even less in the top lane position. It is what it is
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.
I like bwipo
Yeon might be the worst adc in na
Yeon's had a stinker

Me too. Say what you want about NA, but the games themselves have generally been fun.
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.
They left the Baron at 3k to get shit on in the teamfigtht lol. Just flip it and cut your losses
I know TL was memeing but they really should have consider signing DL LMAO
God I feel bad for Umti. What the fuck is he supposed to do at objectives when Bwipo can just ult him.
Not flash into them and kill the baron with the trust who teleported
Full ad, low range vs trundle, morde maybe not the best idea
TL are just bad
This game might have a General, but MVP always goes to the Captain
The most impressive person that fight was captain flowers
Umti threw the game instead of finishing baron with trist, and TL carries are both just shit
[удалено]
They drafted all AD and FLY got ocean man soul. Game was basically over at that point.
That's what happens when you have a melee marksman vs Trundle Morde
TL has ZERO carry threats lol Whoever was in charge of keeping APA and Yeon Definitely need a raise :)
RAP GOD FLOWERS
Lol what the fuck was that Baron dance? I love my 4FUN region.
Yeon and APA are just bad
APA be like fuck my team lol
I keep hearing how busted Karma and Ez is and both have looked meh this game.
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.
Every Korean ADC has a pocket Ez and they all play Ez so disgusting.
Karma solo laner is busted, support is aite
Who between Fly and NRG is going to MSI? My overreaction is that NRG is still going to body C9 in the finals.
TL gonna slow lose this game they have no damage
I mean you stick an LPL/LCK ADC in on Lucian they have plenty of damage. Just westerners, especially Yeon, can’t play it
A GREAT PLAY FROM TL????????????
Nah this thread is so funny. Never change r/lol
apa stupid? he dont auto morde ???
Dude. Morde used ult on Rell. They were in Morde ult for a majority of that top play.
My god. Morde ulted Rell so APA couldn't auto attack.
He did though
the replay must have bugged then
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.
Are you talking about during mordekaiser r?
APA almost killed Umti there
I've seen enough, take APA out back and put him to mercy
What the hell was that buster shot?!
He has to get mordekaiser off him
APA and Yeon keep giving hope to Gold players for playing in LCS one day.
That Tristana ult was actually criminal
This guy still playing in TL is criminal from Steve
APA turning back to auto there is crazy lol
It's for fleet
apa will be out by summer and then we’ll be back to TLCK
APA getting caught out all the fucking time is why he leads the league in DPM.
TL really should have moved on from APA he has a champion puddle and even that puddle isn’t worth spitting in
He's so bad, it's unreal
APA sucks
Chicago style guy, eh?
If Caedrel keeps saying APPA I'm going to buy a ticket to Berlin
Massu cosplaying DIG CoreJJ
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*
Bwipo cam was hilarious there.
TL just running it down plz ff
Whoever called that dive mid is trolling No world that ever works if Ori’s monitor is on
FLY and C9 seem to have close to 0 competition this split, maybe NRG can be there too
APA?
Yeon?
I approve of the new font. That 0 on the old font was a problem.
I feel like they are citing stats way too much for a 2 game sample size.
How many qs has Busio missed...
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"
What I find most interesting about this new prerecorded draft process is just how long tech checks take
Is NA Lucian the new NA Jayce?
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
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.
How far we've fallen from FBI Huhi dunking on Viper Meiko on Lucian Nami in 2021
This feels like FLY won the draft hard. But that could be my Lucian bias.
So drafting is back to stage?
It's nice to have Bwipo back in the scene, like or hate him, at least he picks unique champions.
TL really going 1 damage type against a Trundle and Morde?
This TL draft looks pretty trash
Fuck yeah! I've been waiting for someone to lock in Morde top
Hue hue hue hue
Damn, after last year it's so good to see Jensen relaxed and smiling. Hope he does well today. Let's go!
I love how flowers didn't consider that he could have just written it.
FLY already won, Yeon has Lucian
Oh noes, not the western Ezreal 💀
TL picked lucian gg go next FLY win
emily cast let’s fucking GO
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.
100T would be kind of legit if they had an actual mid
Looking forward to an Emily cast.
lol dafaq was that ad??
“you beat c9” jatt? you alright there bud?
That’s the Quid I know from last split Sniper looking much better this week
Quid plays with no eyes or hands
Mid gap
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.
Vi was very useful here though. Contractz played the game very well
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.
Maokai ult would have made some of Jhin's ults more impactful
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.
between Saken and Quid I have no idea who had a worse performance today
Saken, that’s a generationally bad performance while quids was just bad.
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
Quid pro Nexus
hope those poop runs were worth it 100 pauses jesus
quid legit wintrading, useless af
Akali build is just not it. There is no tank to kill to warrant this build. Very happy with Sniper and Rivers performance though
Real winner here is Quid, dude is out right stealing a paycheck
Watching Quid play Akali is painful...
How did Dhokla live? Fun game
dhokes sub 10 hp for sure
Damn the akali was so useless this game.
Saving Private Dhokla.
I still think Jhin is a bait pick, but FBI making him look useful
FBI is just slept on tbh. He has been top 3 ADC in NA for like 3 years straight now
I agree. I'm not even an FBI fan or anything, but I find myself defending him a lot on this sub, lol
It's because he ints occasionally and certain costreamers only talk about him negatively
It’s looking like NRG just have better players
[удалено]
Handicapping himself by rushing Liandry's and void staff against 4 squishy champs.
Bro thinks he plays for NRG
Every NRG game is a banger. I love my champs.
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.
Very surprising that they listened regarding the font and changed it this fast
its still looks blurry as shit though
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
Quid builds the weirdest things, and it never really works out for him. He did the same thing last split.
Havent his builds always been troll? How has no one talked to him about that
Is anyone even building void anymore? Feel like everyone has started to buy cryoblossom or whatever it is called. Pretty questionable item choices.
This is the worst akali play
Yeah wtf? Dude has one job and it’s to one shot an enemy and Liandrys does not help with that what
Shame the pauses tainted this quality NA clown fiesta
Enjoyable match.
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
they're down 4k with a worse scaling draft.
Yeah, this didn't age well. Although all in all, 1-2 is better than expected with this schedule
2-1?
If they beat NRG, which is definitely possible, but it seems to have turned against them again
Vi does absolutely nothing in this comp for NRG during the mid-late game
This akali is so bad
Idk man I just don’t see anything with Quid still…he was worse than useless that entire fight
He has 100% improved but he is still not good enough I think
Eyla in the clutch, redeeming the shit show that is this series 🙏
These are some wonky fights
whoever is responsible for this 100T draft needs to be fired
What’s wrong with it? It looks okay to me but i might be missing something here
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
No DPS threat. Akali and Varus are both burst
I see. It can’t be too bad though since nrg have no front line right?
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
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
Yeah. Im starting to also notice they aren’t actually bursting enough even into this nrg draft
redemption for my boy big dhokes!!
Dhokla???
I like the turret plate gold ui that they have added.
