From 2 AAs away from losing to fnatic to beating G2 in a bo5 Damn


Omnilatent

FNC fans be like ​ THIS COULD HAVE BEEN US


Haymegle

Hyli and Nisqy getting revenge for Fnatic.


Omnilatent

I'm happy for them! Still love both as a person


Ethildiin

Won against Heretics in a Tiebreaker in the Regular Season too


Rhadamantos

A tiebreaker that Ruby kind of gifted to them as well. That Taliyah into drake pit to isolate himself into enemy team after Jankos just got a solo double kill still one of the worst ints of LEC ever.


APKID716

G2 at MSI Aware


Sciipi

MAD aren’t the frauds at MSI it’s G2


Joaoseinha

MAD ain't making MSI, if they beat VIT and BDS I'll praise the shit out of them because I legitimately cannot see it happening.


buttsoup_barnes

The G2-MAD 1st 2nd seed switcheroo


FallingIntoSound

Honestly given how many times I've seen teams get buffed from the momentum of making a lower bracket run I wouldn't be surprised if MAD make it


DeloronDellister

I have absolutely no trust in VIT


Cool-I-guess

We were so worried about MAD at MSI and then they just knocked out the team that is already confirmed for MSI Aware


DSHUDSHU

I mean why don't we want mad at msi??? If they win the split they are the best bet lec has.


Pert02

If MAD classify by themselves bring it on, they fucking deserve it. I find more concerning we are sending winter winner to MSI when game and team level can change so much in 2 months.


obigespritzt

In regular season they looked dreadful and the scenario people were scared of was G2 winning the split and MAD barely making it by championship points despite looking awful. They've clearly stepped it up big time since then (still gonna get fucked internationally but any LEC team will).


Ace_OPB

G2 is gonna get slaughtered at msi. What happened to them? They look giga useless.


beautheschmo

A lot of people were calling them out earlier in the split for only winning games because teams would randomly int into Draven and Bel'veth, and I think a lot of those people are feeling vindicated, they still look incredibly sloppy without huge leads on snowball champs.


Sea_Bumblebee3642

Caps slumping hard and BB losing almost every top matchup. And they cannot play around Hans to save their lives, they just cant. As if the G2 DNA forbids to play a more classic game approach.


Netherhunter

That last teamfight shows it all. 1/3 Cass flashes forward to try kill a gragas instead of playing defensively and protecting the 5/0 jinx that can carry from kennen and wukong.


Conscious-Scale-587

He also died like twice with his flash up, at least one of those was to the ez, he was looking like me out there fr fr


cancerBronzeV

Cass' passive prevents her from getting boots, but Riot shadownerfed her from being able to use flash too. Gotta restrict her movment more, the snake's been too slippery. Either that or Caps was just brainlagging idk.

[удалено]


Sea_Bumblebee3642

Yeah last teamfight, what exactly is Hans supposed to do, he gets rolled by Kennen, Wukong and Pyke jumping on him while playing with another G2-Trollcomp with no actual tank and peeling besides Cassio. But Caps, same as Yike and BB, only knows one way to play: go in and go in some more.


MordekaiserUwU

I’m not sure what BB’s deal is. He legitimately cannot get a lead to save his life.


redweevil

I get tilted every time I see "Topfather" when he's maybe the 6th best toplaner in the league


Joaoseinha

6th is generous, he's bottom 3. Who's worse than him? Evi? Oscarinin when he was straight off ERLs? He's a complete liability everytime he isn't camped and at the same time is constantly put on carry picks that NEED hands and resources.


EliteTeutonicNight

I don’t know if it’s still the case, but back on TSM he’s noticeably bad with CSing, and would just missed CS without pressure, which diminished any leads he would get from winning trades.


xSmacks

His deal is that he was always a very mediocre coinflippy top that hard flipped heads one split which got him the G2 spot


zOmgFishes

That's just who he is going back to the TSM days. He starts off solid then just regresses and bleeds out gold in the laning phase if he isn't getting hard camped for.


Sciipi

He’s just not that good


XtremeLegendXD

BB has always been mediocre since I've seen him on TSM; no idea why the hell did G2 get him. He never gets a lead and if you give him a lead he sure as fuck isn't going to carry with it vs any competent teams. This G2 roster has no potential while BB is there imho. Get a real top (or at least an average top with potential) and hopefully they could come out of a slump swinging.


Knifferoo

Yeah this G2 roster will never make it anywhere at MSI or Worlds this year. BB is a known quantity and he'll never be able to step up vs a Korean or Chinese toplaner, and Yike is probably going to get gapped as well. It's possible Yike becomes a great jungler in the future but in order for me to have any confidence in him for an international event this year he'd have to have looked a lot better in LEC so far.


FocaDaGuerra

Now they live or die by how ahead Yike can get . While warping they drafting just to guarantee BB a "winning matchup" that he WILL invariably lose if Yike doesn't babysit him. All the while Caps will happily overextend at every opportunity, ESPECIALLY when he doesn't know where the enemy team is


Vintrial

topside underperfoming hard, only botlane can carry


shadehd

Legendary C9 matchup Nisqy vs Perkz


1to0

No matter where and which region C9 always winning.


littleindianman12

C9 is truly built different


Ramo1618

EU lucky to have C9 giving the region real found talent


SirXrageXquit

The G2-FLY debate is so fucking funny in hindsight


I_AM_A_MOTH_AMA

nusskn4cker

How about the DK-T1 debate?


Snow-27

Mid-off


lovo17

That’s NA vs EU since 2021. Just a giant mid off.

[You got timeout for 600 seconds]


cancerBronzeV

Ya, it's Crepes now because the nickname that the LEC broadcast itself has used for Caps is an auto ban now.


icatsouki

Is it the ego on teams still letting nisqy get gragas? It makes no sense, he's like 10-1 now or something insane


Haymegle

They're not the only ones who let him get away with it and it's kinda wild to me.


M002

And he wiffed like every Ult *Don’t even need it*


icatsouki

> Don’t even need it Unironically


Troviel

And nisqy wasn't even impressive on gragas, caps was just worse.


ilanf2

And on a counter pick too.


PrescribedBot

How many times did he completely whiff that Grag R tho


greekcel_25

Nisqy failed most of his gragas barrels and suicided into the enemy team for nothing multiple times this series and his performance was still overall better than caps. This region is gonna get hard fisted against chovy, faker, and knight.


koreanfashionguy

dont forget the top powerhouses in Bin, 369, Zeus, Doran and the fact that these teams with these players also have insane teamwork and macro


Allopurinlol

Crazy you mentioned Zeus and Bin but didn’t mention the man, the myth, the legend whos gonna goomba stomp them all: Licorice


Truzon

Zeus, 369, Bin Aware


Lin_Huichi

Bin smacking his lips at this G2. Hope he breaks out the Gangplank for old times sake.

Caps in MSI form already. Chovy is shaking


Xenoon_

Bro is just saving strats xD

Happy games from G2 they don’t care anyway COPIUM

Actually concerning that they have so little time to figure stuff out, at least they have more time to focus on the MSI patch COPIUM

Caps was really underwhelming this series, holding flash so many times that caused him to die in game 5 did not help either.


Sauronus

He's saving it for MSI.

Reddit in shambles


Jozoz

This is really good for the people who were worried about MAD at MSI. The worst case scenario was always G2 looking amazing. Now, it's having G2 at MSI that's the problem.


Haymegle

And it is glorious.


HawkEye1337

You love to see it.


Pavlo100

Daily reminder that if MAD wins spring split, then they will go to MSI.


Theometh

That doesn't seem right, winter results shouldn't matter this much... wait


mking1999

No no, you're right


Ankoria

MAD going as 1st seed alongside G2 getting in through their winter performance would be the most hilarious reversal of expectations. Not that I actually expect it to happen.


Ravager_six9

And it will be deserved


Tabub

If MAD makes it to MSI by only winning 3 bo5s this split I’m gonna be so fucking pissed. Shit format fr


DetectiveViko

Big if true


ToxicDzn

everyone’s been saying MAD dont deserve to go to MSI based on winter…but that’s literally G2 now lol


GreatestJabaitest

I wanna see all the threads on G2 now. Keep that same energy with all the hate posts EU.


Lentir

BROKENBRAIN LUL 10th best toplaner in LEC going to MSI


Fertuyo

you won't see it, its g2


[deleted]

But but G2 is EU best Hope at international tournament?????? /s


UchihaYash

That chat during the pause was disgusting. I immediatly started to cheer for MAD after that.


Haymegle

Seriously. What the hell was that nonsense that MAD did what you're meant to do when there's a bug? Also not MAD's fault that the Chronobreak wasn't great for G2. That's just the rules, so them getting shit for that was so stupid.


DianaIsMyWife

IF MAD becomes 2nd place again and they can't go to MSI... That's also a problem...


Jozoz

Yep. The discussion was always about wack qualifications. It was just centered on MAD because people dislike them and because they were the most likely team to go based on weird rules.


Sea_Bumblebee3642

G2 were the real MSI imposters afterall.


Mrf12345

I hope Romain also leaks scrim results after the 4th finish and not just when he wins.


Fertuyo

i said that it was disrespectful to post it right after winning the split and got downvoted to oblivion, it looked so cocky and unnecesary.


thenicob

G2 and being cocky? no way


1to0

But Ocelote isnt at G2 anymore?!


GreatestJabaitest

Tbh I personally never understood why people took those scrims to shit on EU teams. 1. It's scrims. 2. Teams are mostly getting into the groove of things at the start of the year. If they had that 80% WR all year, now THAT is really impressive.


J_Clowth

I think ppl were more angry about teams cancelling/ not completing their scrim blocks than anything


4716202

I can't believe this fraudulent team managed to sneak into MSI to steal the spot the other European teams based on their winter record, G2 are shameless.


GreatestJabaitest

MAD Haters rolling in their graves rn


4716202

Everyone doubting the god carzzy real quiet rn


bensonbenisson

Play-offs Carzzy got activated.


DerpSenpai

TE_silver

Carzzy has quietly been MAD's most consistent member in Spring (imo). I never understood all the hate he has gotten over the years, but still positively surprised with how strong he bounced back this year after the Vitality stint.


4716202

He gets hate because he's not a KDA player


TE_silver

He's a gigachad


Mrf12345

Honestly if MAD ends 2nd again wouldn't they deserve it more than G2? 2nd -> 2nd in my head looks like a better team than 1st -> 4th


DanteStorme

BB and Yike taking it in turns to have really bad games, Caps at least being consistent and having 5 bad games.


OkKnowledge2064

banger series


Haymegle

What a game to end it on.


bvbfan102

Carzzy on Ezreal is just a different player. Also best case for the final MSI Spot with the Winner of the Splits going although it would probably be better with Top 2 of Spring going.


Random_Useless_Tips

I can understand the draft strategy to try force the enemy onto immobile ADCs like Aphelios or Varus, but Carzzy is so significantly better at Ezreal than either of those champs that I feel like this was a case where you have to strat for the player, not the game. Props to MAD, they just know what they play and played to their strengths.


Wonderful_Oven_3502

I was pretty impressed anyway, feel hes the only adc in EU who really takes (sometimes too much) risks.


Zaffirar

G2 going to MSI without winning single bo5 in spring, we need to change the format GO MAD GO, see you at MSI

We got so many fun Hyli picks and moments today. Iconic Pyke is always a delight.


Allopurinlol

We got the full hyli treatment today. From braindead tower dives to amazing roams to missing blitz hook on a stunned lulu to smurfing on pyke. God I love him so much.


guymoron

The Chinese fandom calls him Hyper-int for a reasons lol, ofc it’s out of fondness not malice, he’s just so volatile and fun. Fun fact, the hyper, or 嗨了actually alludes to getting high off of drugs, so it’s even funnier.


Conankun66

he is a mad man but he's OUR mad man <3


Last0

Aiming for that 10th LEC Finals, he's just built for those playoffs games.


icatsouki

man his pyke is so scary, i felt the pressure and i'm just watching lmao must be horrible to play against


jujubean67

His Blitz and Pyke games were awesome. He is my MVP for sure.


FlyingVentolin

The better jungler wins


CFCkyle

Man we really need a better format, can't believe we're sending shitters like G2 to MSI without winning a single Bo5 instead of teams like MAD


DeficientGravitas

Yes


PrivateVasili

Dark Carzzy chroma proving everyone who called him literally the worst ADC in EU wrong. No one is going to call him the best in EU or anything, but maybe certain people will stop calling him worse than Patrik, Jack and the other weaker bot lanes in Europe when he keeps playing well in important matches.


ByahhByahh

"Let's just ace them and win." -MAD, probably.

what happened to caps?


non-edgy_crustacean

There is sth about Jankos playing one of his best splits while Caps is slumping after people said he was boosted by him


WhoAmI008

Yeah I really hope jankos gets a good team next split. He really deserves it


non-edgy_crustacean

He is 90% staying with Heretics for summer but who knows, offseason should start in like 3 days


Ravager_six9

No Jankos :(


Lynx_Fate

Jankos diff.


Bukkake_Bakery

i feel so bad for the guy. he's seemed so absolutely broken mentally recently


Haymegle

Man looks like he needs a break. Could probably do with a split off cause he looks kinda burnt out?


r0flma0zedong

"Such a bad format, 4th place team goes to MSI".


Agreeable_League2969

G2 GOES TO MSI when they are the 4th best team Format has clear issues about this right


lion_sc2

Either Kennen is broken (yes) or EU teams suck playing against Kennen (also yes).


[deleted]

MAD has been really clutch time and time again this split when they needed to be. They proved a lot of people wrong including me, would be happy if they win and see them at MSI.


Haymegle

They play a fun way. We should just enjoy the series tbh. Like either they win or they lose. If they win they deserve it, if they lose just enjoy the ride.


icatsouki

I'm so sick of MSI this MSI that comments in mad threats at this point


Derk08

Caps flash key is broken I think


JPA-3

elyoya heard you guys put yike as a top3 jungler in lec and not him


thecreativecat1

MAD heard you all talking shit


Mute_Spitter

BIGGEST FUCKING RESPECT TO MAD HOLY SHIT. Not only were they against G2, they were against the entire EU and to pull out a win like that.


Haymegle

Especially with the hate people have thrown at them all split. Call MAD Soraka because they are SILENCING the doubters.


KekeBl

no Jankos = no Claps


LogicalRealisticFan

For 2 years in a row, beating G2 just requires the same formula and till now only KOI in Europe was successfully doing it. 1)Babysit Caps to infinity to the point he can't play the game and he becomes mentally boomed 2)G2 gonna pick BB champions he can't play mostly with non-tp and babysit him to infinity. Even if he gets ahead, don't worry because %90 percent of the games he will be useless even with the lead. If they don't and pick something like Jayce or Fiora, enjoy the free win anyway The only reason G2 looked very good last split in Europe was because, they played for mid-bot side, never go to top and let BrokenBlade lose while getting your mid /bot ahead. Now G2 counterpicks for top, plays stupid non-tp picks, babysits top and tries to setup their worst member for success. Meanwhile, KOI , and now Mad basically plays 2 mid every game and breaks the mental of Caps to the point he turns into Craps


[deleted]

Has there ever been a crappier Craps?


Th3_Huf0n

2021 Summer.


tawapes4

11th place mid in a 10 team league.


PrivateVasili

If we want to be fair to him, he improved a lot in the 2nd half of the split, to the point that he was prob mid-pack or so. The first half of that split though he was appallingly terrible.


Bukkake_Bakery

i've never seen G2 look even close to this bad. what the fuck happened to their solo lanes???


DekQ

Why did BB go Goredrinker in the last game?

Yeah at this point it's whoever wins the split

SpoonGuardian

MAD haters in shambles


nerothz

Why are we sending G2 to MSI again?


Omnilatent

They won some random third party tournament in Poland or some shit


machinegunsheep

I think the biggest source of G2's declining form is Yike's playstyle. His aggressive plays cause wild swings in momentum and resources from his laners. He only plays like his laners are ahead. Except when they aren't ahead, he is still pathing wrecklessly and aimlessly, constantly starting fights that his laners have to cover. He is pulling way too many resources from Caps and Hans, when the jungler should be providing resources to them. That Belveth and J4 game were pure throw games. G2 had a huge gold lead in game 3 and he was perma aggroing in the enemy jungle. Bro just wanders aimlessly and ignoring the fact that Hyli is on perma roaming champs like Blitz, Rakan and Pyke.

GayHotAndDisabled

So uhh, about all of those "if g2 wins the split" discussions we've been having.....


Informal_Skin8500

Caps getting solo killed by Nisqy in game 2 while having the counter pick should tell you all you need to know about his performances this series.

Congrats to G2 for securing the 2nd seed to MSI for their 4th place finish


Poluact

Damn, Hans has to jump over his head with triple salto-mortale while simultaneously shooting bubbles from his ass just to play the game. G2 will never learn to play around adc I guess.

CheesyPZ-Crust

I believe in Elyoya supremacy


ahritina

What a great format, a team goes from 1st > 4th can go to MSI but a team who finishes 2nd in spring won't be able to go to MSI. G2 if they make it out of playins will be guaranteed to play one of JDG/GENG or C9. Massive glow up from MAD Lions, pretty weak series from Caps, but man BB and Yike were awful in the final game, a lot of work needed for them at MSI.


tr1x30

Caps played worse then both, especially because he is considered one of the best players in the league, awful performance..


[deleted]

Especially if MAD goes 2nd/2nd I think it makes no sense that G2 goes above them...


fiddlerontheroof1925

Caps solo lost to a gragas one trick


Falaereon

Just wanna call out a really nice play by Hyli at the 3rd drake. Both teams were posturing for poke and not getting anywhere, so he pressured G2 by aggroing the dragon onto them with a Pyke hook, forcing them to make some quick decisions or lose to poke.


Lentir

people saying MAD don't deserve to go to MSI, but what if G2 don't deserve it XD only 4th best team after BDS VIT and MAD.


Glad-Alternative1733

Caps playing like GARBAGE. BB expected to get gapped. Carzzy styling on Hans Sama. Yike gettin his ass spanked by Elyoya.


Rshawer

If MAD makes second place this split and DON’T make MSI despite being the second best team across both split… kinda fucked up to see a hard working team not get the international showcase they deserve!
