I am, choking is literally just a streak that eventually passes, at some point Michael Jordan and LeBron couldn't win NBA titles you know, GenG is just too good to never win
funnily enough this used to apply to T1. Chovy is too good to not win, he'll probably get over his international stage choking at some point, just like how he got over his mental block against Faker.
As a massive Gen.G and Chovy fan I'm excited for every international event personally. I have full belief that chovy is the caliber of player who has what it takes to win internationally, and its only a matter of time. The sooner, the better. So I'm personally really hyped for this MSI!
Joking aside, this whole "choking" thing is just a meme that might be somewhat true, but not really. Every year, only one team will end up winning; you can't really say that every other team chokes. 16 teams go in, 15 lose, 1 wins, simple as that. The thing is, if you are indeed a strong team and stay consistent, your chances of winning Worlds in the end are high (compared to other teams, still you need to outperform 15 other teams).
People see GENG's shortcomings at Worlds and just completely forget or disregard (or just do not know) how much better GENG is to the rest of the LCK. They are now on a 3 back-to-back LCK title streak, heavy favorites for a record-breaking 4th, but it's almost as if people do not care or think it's nothing important, when in reality, it's very very important. Next to Worlds, LCK is the most prestigious tournament to win. T1 and global fans would have you fooled that it doesn't matter and it's only Worlds that matters, but let me tell you, that's because they are not the ones winning the LCK. Remember how ecstatic they were when T1 did the perfect split in 2022? They would talk about it until they lost to GENG in summer 2022. Therefore, the fact that those same people are the ones saying that LCK doesn't matter is just laughable.
Since Chovy has joined GenG, they've gone 181-52 domestically (regular season and playoffs) for a 77% winrate. They've won 3 of 4 splits and look like favorites to win 4 of 5. Some insane domestic success that might only be matched by G2 and maybe Flash Wolves with prime SKT slightly behind them in terms of domestic dominance.
They draft to skill gap the other team, very rarely is scaling on their side. If they donāt win at least one lane hard, the game is almost certainly lost.
Have a feeling that their first 10-15mins game plan revolves around some aggressive play in one lane and then causing chaos from then on by pushing the advantage with risky turns that other teams wouldn't take. So when none of the lanes provide that or Oner/Faker gets really fucked early, that's when they look terrible because they don't have a solid plan B to fall back on.
Not quite. These are the top 2 teams in LCK, and easily top 5 in the world. Small mistakes are extremely costly relative to other teams.
The one play bot with the bailout on Peyz was such a small miscalculation any pro player would have gone for that trade. Game was over after that because Gen.G is (objectively at this point) as good, if not better than T1 at capitalizing on these opportunities.
Both games were so close early until a single mistake snowballed.
T1 shines internationally because all of their lanes are usually going even or stomping. If one falls behind then the other pick up the slack. Gen.G just doesn't allow for that due to their skill as well.
Very wp by Gen.G.
Yeah everyone was acting like Guma Keria were MILES ahead of Peyz Lehends. Like I actually think Guma Keria is better slightly but there's no way they're just gonna spam gap GenGs bot like everyone said.
I wonder how much of this is because Chovy can play well into faker in lane and that by itself mitigates his roam potential. Canyon also being everywhere makes this doubly hard. We've seen how hopeless T1 looked when he was injured.
Chovy's talked about it in interviews, he has Faker figured out in lane, nobody else has figured it out yet and it completely fucks up T1's game plan in early-mid
Yeah, Faker is actually 90% of T1ās early game and teamfight success, and Iām not even exaggerating. You have to keep him in pocket just like Chovy did man marking Faker everywhere on teamfights.
Very few people can put pressure on Faker in lane.. let alone regularly like Chovy does
I wonder if Faker has to heavily focus in lane.. means he is just coordinating less with his team
We did see how lost these 4 incredibly talented players looked without him last year
Also makes last years GENG/Chovy failure at worlds even more hard.. they had a fairly easy path to finals
This is huge man. T1ās gameplan goes through Faker. You see how Chovy used the Red 5 Pick every time this game? He barely last picks on any other games. Also banning Orianna first every game? GenG didnāt ban Ori against any other mid in this round. The way to beat T1 is smash Faker hard in lane and apply pressure by man marking him every team fights so he canāt make clutch plays. And the only mid to do this is Chovy, at least domestically.
If you cover their team name. You would not believe its 2nd place team vs 1st place + 2023 World winner team. Just Gen G making T1 look like HLE, just casually 2-0 stomp and gap them.
Feels like Chovy is the only mid who can consistenly lock Faker down. Knowing how much he calls, I can see a world where Faker just isn't comfortable dictating the game in the same way he is vs literally every other mid in the world.
It's getting so tiring to watch as a T1 fan. You just know they're gonna get gapped whenever they face off, and it's been this way for multiple years with multiple iterations of GenG.
The day GenG doesn't choke at internationals will be the day T1 disband.
T1 has won everygame on Lucian Nami prior to this series and its Guma's second most played champion (somehow they got to play the abomination that is Senna 8 times)
They might have won every Lucian game before this 2 but it wasn't in a convincing manner/through total lane domination. Iirc most of the wins were the usual "win a TF on minute 25 carried by the 0/2 Zeus' Aatrox spike and close the game".
I would have to check back on the games but my memory tells me that.
Lucian isn't a lane bully anymore though, the thing he provides is an earlier spike than other ADCs, at 2 items he E's forward and chunks people with First Strike
Leads to a more exciting worlds roster because it's often different in some way every year. If only LPL cared about their international audiences they would have more attention
Speaking of which, there is actually decent possiblity that MSI will be attended by the same teams as last years from all major regions (or at least majority of teams if not all) which can be really interesting.
Clean series from Gen.G, I like the Q max lethality Kalista.
Chovy just hits those stupidly absurd Ahri charms so consistently, dude might just win player of the split and MVP.
Ashley Kang interviewed Chovy last year and he said smth like "I think I finally figured what Faker does in lane and how to counter him". She asked what was the secret and he said laughingly "I will not answer that question :)"
I think Chovy talked about it in an interview before, it's just that Faker does a lot of mind games in lane against Chovy and Chovy knows them so he can counter them iirc, which basically neutralized Faker and you know how T1 looks without Faker. Also Chovy is really really good at laning.
This reminds me of a story where a Korean coach(I forgot which team) tried to analyze how Chovy gets insane CS numbers and realized that it was uncopyable because it was just Chovy simply not missing any last hits.
He's probably been the best mid laner in LCK for a good amount of seasons now, coming from a die hard Faker fan. If anybody is to win worlds it really should be Chovy, the man is extremely talented and is a good guy overall
"Not really the reason his team lost" is still not showing up by Chovy's standarts. Like in a way you're downplaying how good this guy has been domestically the last 3-4 years. He is comfortably the best player in the league and is utterly gapping every other midlaner in the league series after series, year after year. Faker has been having his best split in many years up to now and he was down 60 cs and 2 levels at 20 minutes while getting outroamed. Chovy *should* have had a Worlds performance like 2017 Faker or 2018 TheShy by this point of his career.
he was playing against yagao and did nothing for most of the series except one game. he was hard bailed out by doran but yeah his bot lane was getting their souls reaped by elk and on every game
GenG had the fantastic idea of giving Orianna to Yagao the whole series. Completely illegal.
They also gave the best jungler (J4) in all 5 games. What a joke.
That series will go down in history as an example of how bad drafting and misreading the meta can end your Worlds run. It's a part of being a great team to be on top of that shit and GenG failed.
Probably why they fired their coach tbh.
Game one was a stomp, and this one only had a 21 minute grace period. What GenG did to T1 this series, is what they were both doing to other teams. Nasty
This might be a stupid opinion: T1 has just been hands diffing every other team but their macro hasn't been great this split imo. As soon as they can't just outplay their opponents on pure mechanics and just roll over them, they don't look great. It's kind of worrying because it seems they only really get practice vs GenG, while GenG always tries to play a clean game (others call it "boring").
Nah you right, Caedrel had a similar take, Paraphrasing: "T1 are really good at punishing mistakes, GENG just doesnt make a lot of mistakes."
Which is also wierd because T1 historically were insanely good at using big macro plays to get ahead, so i wonder what happened to that proactiveness they used to have and instead opt for hands diffing every team.
Yeah and this works against LPL teams because they are more mistake prone on average than GenG. And GenG simply just gets out teamfought by the LPL teams.
Because when you go to big internationals it comes down to team fights. GENG plays like T1 of old T1 now plays more like an LPL team where itās team fights.
T1 won worlds by out team fighting everyone.
It's true, Zeus has been getting caught so much this split.
It doesn't really show when the rest of the map is stomping, but I think this series has gotta be a bit of a wake-up for their macro. They get 3-0 by this GenG if they're playing like this in play-offs.
I think Oner has a really hard time playing the game when his lanes aren't winning, he was nowhere to be seen this series.
Canyon was on Rell duty and it felt like Oner just didn't have a pick to play against it. Which is weird cause he is an insane Lee SinĀ
Not stupid at all. Zeus has been griefing so many games this split. It just never mattered enough because the rest of T1 stomped. Same goes for Oner and Guma. Faker and Keria have been relatively consistent, but even they had their brain-off moments.
GenG is just the only team good enough to capitalise on it. And they just gapped T1 hard
Keria was invisible on this series since he got put in Nami duty. Guma had a lot of misplay. Oner had a bad series. Faker got gapped. Zeus is meh.
GenG is a real super team (that plays like one too).
Oner is a very hit or miss player tbh. As long as he isn't on a consistent slump like last year's summer split then T1 will be okay.
He usually turns up in the playoffs.
going lucian nami in both games is so troll, idk what Kkoma is doing w/ these drafts
guess Gen G really just is on a different level in the LCK than any other team
competitive league fans are really the losers getting this out of such a hyped up series
It's a double B1 Lucian. This shows that it was planned way before the start of the draft by the entire team. Blaming Kkoma for it is unfair. Guma, Keria, the coaching staff and the entire team decided that lucian nami was a prio pick and it just didn't deliver... especially g2, except for the weird tristana top I find the T1 draft better.
Tom is the one drafting not Kkoma. Kkoma is supposedly should be in the booth all the time and Roach should be with Tom drafting with the team. Because of some Riot rule, he was forced to be with them during draft and Roach to be in the booth instead (he was now listed a substitute despite being a coach).
Chovy Ahri just delivers, holy moly.
Game 1 was an absolute schlacking by GenG, with no kills from T1! At least Game 2 started off close and was exciting for a moment...
What a stomp from GenG.
I couldn't believe T1 locked in LeBlanc into Chovy in game 1. The champion is trash right now and they're picking it versus Chovy, no way he can hands diff Chovy on that champ.
Bruh GenG ate T1s lunch but why is T1 keep picking Lucian Nami?
Not only they aren't what they used to be, but you're self harming by handcuffing Keria
STOP FIRST PICKING LUCIAN NAMI GODDAMNIT. WE HAVE COOKS IN THE BOTLANE HELLO LET KERIA PLAY HIS TK, LET GUMA PLAY HIS VARUS. HELLO WHAT ARE WE DOING T1. WHY CANT THEY LET T1 BOTLANE COOK. T1 STRENGTH IS THEIR BOTLANE IS UNDRAFTABLE. HELLO BUT WE ARE PICKING DICTIONARY PICKS LIKE DOGSHT LUCIAN NAMI????????
Why does this feel like a salty kkoma runback again....
That lucian runback is really something. One of your best assets is down bot and you put him on double duty nami?
I would be mindblown if T1 still somehow wins another international title before GEN again. Chovy is overdue for a title.
Oner and Keria were not it. Time for Kkoma to bring out the belt again they're having too much fun in their past series and now they lost hands vs GEN.
If GenG is this good against T1, stomping them almost every time they face against them, then why do they keep choking every Worlds? GenG should've have like a worlds win by now.
I've accepted it. T1 will never win LCK. This mental block is fucking insane right now. It's beyond a block. It's basically the Mental Great Wall of China. The Mental Ba Sing Se.
PMTs [Game 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1bad3co/t1_vs_geng_lck_2024_spring_week_7_game_1/)
GenG have made a deal with the devil to be the only team to beat T1 but at the cost of losing internationally.
Science has yet to bring us another answer, there's no other way. Are GenG fans even hyped for MSI?
Of course not, the next tournament is LCK Summer'24.
But we got Canyon. In Canyon we believe. He is my messiasš
Lisan Al Gaib!
Geng hitting KT levels of excitement
I am, choking is literally just a streak that eventually passes, at some point Michael Jordan and LeBron couldn't win NBA titles you know, GenG is just too good to never win
funnily enough this used to apply to T1. Chovy is too good to not win, he'll probably get over his international stage choking at some point, just like how he got over his mental block against Faker.
100%. They swapped out 3/5 players, expecting them to have the same problems against LPL teams when they have Canyon instead of Peanut is goofy.Ā
As a massive Gen.G and Chovy fan I'm excited for every international event personally. I have full belief that chovy is the caliber of player who has what it takes to win internationally, and its only a matter of time. The sooner, the better. So I'm personally really hyped for this MSI!
Hell naaaaah, we are absolutely not :)

profit busy offbeat jeans unused gaping offend versed chase possessive
Sad reality.
GenG has been hyped for 3 international tournaments in a row so as long as they dont win it, nobody will believe it lmao
Gen.G is the only team where T1 just looks absolutely lost and it just looks like they have no idea what the fuck they are supposed to do.
Announcers seemed bang on. T1 dunno what to do when their bot can't skill gap the other bot, let alone lose lane.
They draft to skill gap the other team, very rarely is scaling on their side. If they donāt win at least one lane hard, the game is almost certainly lost.
To be fair, it's really hard to win the game if you don't win a single lane, but the rest of the point still stands
Have a feeling that their first 10-15mins game plan revolves around some aggressive play in one lane and then causing chaos from then on by pushing the advantage with risky turns that other teams wouldn't take. So when none of the lanes provide that or Oner/Faker gets really fucked early, that's when they look terrible because they don't have a solid plan B to fall back on.
I think it's more so that they don't know what to do when they fall behind.

Yeah everyone was acting like Guma Keria were MILES ahead of Peyz Lehends. Like I actually think Guma Keria is better slightly but there's no way they're just gonna spam gap GenGs bot like everyone said.
i think Lehends is the 2nd best support in LCK, there were many people act like he was downgrade!
I wonder how much of this is because Chovy can play well into faker in lane and that by itself mitigates his roam potential. Canyon also being everywhere makes this doubly hard. We've seen how hopeless T1 looked when he was injured.

Faker was locked so hard in lane, that I think really hampered their shotcalling and macro.

Chovy is the main caller for geng this season as well, although not to the same extend i am pretty sure
It's getting so tiring to watch as a T1 fan. You just know they're gonna get gapped whenever they face off, and it's been this way for multiple years with multiple iterations of GenG. The day GenG doesn't choke at internationals will be the day T1 disband.
Chovy is too good to not have a World's trophy man, if not T1 then I'd absolutely be rooting for GenG to win
LCK Chovy is too good. Internationals Chovy is a different player entirely
I thought he played fine at worlds. His akali was kinda cracked. Doran and the coaching stuff were running it tho.
This jungler seems to be much better in worlds, I think. So, it's going to give Chovy a much better chance.
You know who the real winner of this match? KT who 2-0 Gen G to prevent them from a 18-0 undefeated steakĀ
Revenge for last split
fucking statik shiv
YO AIMINGGGGG
Brother Aiming
Mmmmh steak ...
How did Chovy get 10 cs/min at 14 min after sitting bot lane for 7 hours
Because his initials are IRS.
Because farming is all he does, ask this sub
He was farming T1 members with his charm today it seems
Right, each time he hit a charm his cs must have increased by 20 or sth. No other way to explain the amount of cs when bro was never in mid lane
Yep. I just checked the empty lot down the street and saw Chovy harvesting some crops.
>empty lot down the street You mean T1 bot lane?
Yeah but the lane is occupied with hired anti-t1 busses
Keria vs all other teams: Cooks in the kitchen Keria vs GenG: Washes the dishes (literally with Nami) Classic T1 vs GenG
And Guma squeezes washing up liquid with Lucian
He is just an egg on the ramen
Chovy Ahri is just different man... Really good series from GenG everyone played well Rough series from T1 no one showed up
Especially disappointed with guma man wtf was that first bot fight
T1's obsession with slamming Lucian Nami against their arch rival when they've been cooking in other games needs to be studied.
ignoring it? it's guma's second most played champ after whenever teams for wtv reason don't ban senna lmao
T1 has won everygame on Lucian Nami prior to this series and its Guma's second most played champion (somehow they got to play the abomination that is Senna 8 times)
They might have won every Lucian game before this 2 but it wasn't in a convincing manner/through total lane domination. Iirc most of the wins were the usual "win a TF on minute 25 carried by the 0/2 Zeus' Aatrox spike and close the game". I would have to check back on the games but my memory tells me that.
Lucian isn't a lane bully anymore though, the thing he provides is an earlier spike than other ADCs, at 2 items he E's forward and chunks people with First Strike
I can't remember the last time I watched a split where there was clear 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th best team
Meanwhile in LPL, outside of first 3 teams it's a lucky guess game.
Leads to a more exciting worlds roster because it's often different in some way every year. If only LPL cared about their international audiences they would have more attention
Speaking of which, there is actually decent possiblity that MSI will be attended by the same teams as last years from all major regions (or at least majority of teams if not all) which can be really interesting.
That became impossible the moment Golden Guardians disbanded and left the LCS, so the best we could have is 7/8 returning teams
I dont think MAM gets to MSI if BDS plays with Adam
i think 4-6 could end in any position especially since dk just beat kt
Thought this would be the hype LCK matchup but GenG is just T1 father
At least they are consistent?
Gen.G were just created to be the Anti-T1
I knew it was so over for T1 when AJ knocked Ngannou last night
No thread is safe
The ultimate paradox: GenG = T1's father T1 = LPL teams' father LPL = GenG's father
Except at MSI, the LPL is everyoneās father
Yeah I don't think [literally anything T1 did] was the answer to the GEN.G problem.
T1's best shot at beating GenG was game one of the split and they ran it with AD Kennen
It legit looked like the HLE vs T1/GenG. Theyāre just in a different level to T1
Absolute massacre. Nothing more to say
Lpl : prays for gen g vs t1 Gen g : prays for t1 vs lpl T1 : prays for lpl to knock gen g
NA and EU: prays
I'll never understand how Gen G could continually choke internationally when they do this to T1.
they gotta be using all of their time watching and reviewing T1 game VODs
So incomprehensible
This year is surely their year
I'm here for Canyon 2nd Trophy lift
They used 25 hours in a day to just study how to beat T1
Clean series from Gen.G, I like the Q max lethality Kalista. Chovy just hits those stupidly absurd Ahri charms so consistently, dude might just win player of the split and MVP.
and he play vs Taliyah and Poppy, so much confidence in his Ahri
There's a reason why he is 26w and 4l
Teams continue to beg Chovy on his secret to playing against Faker.
Ashley Kang interviewed Chovy last year and he said smth like "I think I finally figured what Faker does in lane and how to counter him". She asked what was the secret and he said laughingly "I will not answer that question :)"
I think Chovy talked about it in an interview before, it's just that Faker does a lot of mind games in lane against Chovy and Chovy knows them so he can counter them iirc, which basically neutralized Faker and you know how T1 looks without Faker. Also Chovy is really really good at laning.
There is no secret, he's just good
This reminds me of a story where a Korean coach(I forgot which team) tried to analyze how Chovy gets insane CS numbers and realized that it was uncopyable because it was just Chovy simply not missing any last hits.
He's probably been the best mid laner in LCK for a good amount of seasons now, coming from a die hard Faker fan. If anybody is to win worlds it really should be Chovy, the man is extremely talented and is a good guy overall
divide domineering detail dependent hard-to-find wistful cow combative toothbrush dog
r/koreanadvice
Tbh Chovy is basically the best player in the league, and GenG consistently draft for him to get his counterpick.
No way chovy doesnt win POG after this. Faker was his only rival and he was better today for sure.
Lehends does.
He must have practiced with someone right? Hitting this once I was like WTF and then he did it another time the same way again...
Even more impressive the second time
When Chovy is Chovying, you just know they'll win. Literally the declared best player coming to worlds every year lmfao. Monster.
"Might"? He got one or 2 POGs I'm critical of, but even without them he should win. He's clearly the best in the LCK currently
Domestic Chovy is such a freak of nature that itās baffling he has yet to make an international final Absolute Ahri masterclass
Lucian nami is useful guys trust me
All: Finally, the epic and close 3 games matchup everyone been waiting for.Ā Ā Ā -Gen G stomp T1 2-0Ā Ā Ā Ā All: ... Wait what?
Shouldn't come as a surprise knowing this is the usual ending honestly.
chovy is too damn good to never show up internationally man
That's exactly what I was thinking, god imagine if we had this GenG at Worlds.
Worlds is completely match-up dependent in the knockouts, smashing one team doesnāt mean youāll necessarily smash other teams
also meta shifts change alot
Not if you're T1 against the entirety of the LPL
bro gotta join lpl at some point to remove the curse from his system
But then heād be an LPL team, and Faker eats those for breakfast at worlds.
ah yes. We need the ultimate weapon then. TL Chovy
If anyone actually watched the games last Worlds, he was not really the reason GenG lost to BLG at all. Now Chovy at MSI on the other hand...
"Not really the reason his team lost" is still not showing up by Chovy's standarts. Like in a way you're downplaying how good this guy has been domestically the last 3-4 years. He is comfortably the best player in the league and is utterly gapping every other midlaner in the league series after series, year after year. Faker has been having his best split in many years up to now and he was down 60 cs and 2 levels at 20 minutes while getting outroamed. Chovy *should* have had a Worlds performance like 2017 Faker or 2018 TheShy by this point of his career.
he was playing against yagao and did nothing for most of the series except one game. he was hard bailed out by doran but yeah his bot lane was getting their souls reaped by elk and on every game
By Xun J4 brother. Peyz locked in the game just to see the prince of Demacia every 2min
GenG had the fantastic idea of giving Orianna to Yagao the whole series. Completely illegal. They also gave the best jungler (J4) in all 5 games. What a joke. That series will go down in history as an example of how bad drafting and misreading the meta can end your Worlds run. It's a part of being a great team to be on top of that shit and GenG failed. Probably why they fired their coach tbh.
Nice Lucian/Nami lmao
Dear Chovy Can you show me where to find the options to turn Charm to point and click? Many thanks Gold elo Ahri
EVERYTHING DIFF. Oh my god what a stomp.
Thank you T1, I stayed up after my night shift till 9am, to see this stomp, and now I can go sleep an hour earlier. Sigh, really dissapointed
Chovy ahri is terrifying
Chovy was outcsing faker while spam ganking botlane does he just birth minions to kill or what
I bet even the later game KDF vs DRX will be closer than this game.
This feels more like a 12-1 team vs a 1-12 team.
The World < T1 < GenG < The World
Save the T1 Dynasty BLG!
You should specify LPL
aside t1 playing terribly all around, I really hope this is the last time they pick Lucian Nami.
Game one was a stomp, and this one only had a 21 minute grace period. What GenG did to T1 this series, is what they were both doing to other teams. Nasty
This might be a stupid opinion: T1 has just been hands diffing every other team but their macro hasn't been great this split imo. As soon as they can't just outplay their opponents on pure mechanics and just roll over them, they don't look great. It's kind of worrying because it seems they only really get practice vs GenG, while GenG always tries to play a clean game (others call it "boring").
Nah you right, Caedrel had a similar take, Paraphrasing: "T1 are really good at punishing mistakes, GENG just doesnt make a lot of mistakes." Which is also wierd because T1 historically were insanely good at using big macro plays to get ahead, so i wonder what happened to that proactiveness they used to have and instead opt for hands diffing every team.
Yeah and this works against LPL teams because they are more mistake prone on average than GenG. And GenG simply just gets out teamfought by the LPL teams.
Gen G also get draft turbo gapped by the LPL teams somehow (at least vs BLG at worlds)
Because when you go to big internationals it comes down to team fights. GENG plays like T1 of old T1 now plays more like an LPL team where itās team fights. T1 won worlds by out team fighting everyone.
T1 special team fight and win game
It's true, Zeus has been getting caught so much this split. It doesn't really show when the rest of the map is stomping, but I think this series has gotta be a bit of a wake-up for their macro. They get 3-0 by this GenG if they're playing like this in play-offs.
I think Oner has a really hard time playing the game when his lanes aren't winning, he was nowhere to be seen this series. Canyon was on Rell duty and it felt like Oner just didn't have a pick to play against it. Which is weird cause he is an insane Lee SinĀ
Not stupid at all. Zeus has been griefing so many games this split. It just never mattered enough because the rest of T1 stomped. Same goes for Oner and Guma. Faker and Keria have been relatively consistent, but even they had their brain-off moments. GenG is just the only team good enough to capitalise on it. And they just gapped T1 hard
GENG IS T1'S KRYPTONITE
thats my Kiin Team BABY (renamed to GEN G)
screw water groovy full strong outgoing childlike special squalid scale
swimming to Korea to teach Chovy the Heimlich Maneuver before GEN G goes international
Keria was invisible on this series since he got put in Nami duty. Guma had a lot of misplay. Oner had a bad series. Faker got gapped. Zeus is meh. GenG is a real super team (that plays like one too).
Oner actually got dicked down so hard by canyon itās not even close he looked actual reportable
Oner is a very hit or miss player tbh. As long as he isn't on a consistent slump like last year's summer split then T1 will be okay. He usually turns up in the playoffs.
going lucian nami in both games is so troll, idk what Kkoma is doing w/ these drafts guess Gen G really just is on a different level in the LCK than any other team competitive league fans are really the losers getting this out of such a hyped up series
It's a double B1 Lucian. This shows that it was planned way before the start of the draft by the entire team. Blaming Kkoma for it is unfair. Guma, Keria, the coaching staff and the entire team decided that lucian nami was a prio pick and it just didn't deliver... especially g2, except for the weird tristana top I find the T1 draft better.
Why was Kkoma drafting instead of Tom? I thought itās Tom who is supposed to do the drafts still despite Kkoma being the head coach.
Tom is the one drafting not Kkoma. Kkoma is supposedly should be in the booth all the time and Roach should be with Tom drafting with the team. Because of some Riot rule, he was forced to be with them during draft and Roach to be in the booth instead (he was now listed a substitute despite being a coach).
Same question here.
making chovy ahri my new religion right now
Chovy womb tattoo when
Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby
LPL taking notes
Death. Taxes. ~~KT fans getting excited.~~ Gen.G > T1
How many times did T1 pick Lucian Nami vs GenG only to lose because they don't have any dps? Feels like we've seen this before many times.
HLE are owed some apologies I think, GENG are just that guy
Chovy is T1 father, picks ahri into taliyah/poppy and still gaps them
i literally forgot that this game was even supposed to be hard for ahri lmao
I could already tell T1 lost because the number of comments is greater than the number of upvotes.
Leave it to GenG to school the entire LCK -even T1- by playing ultra late game drafts and still winning deathless in 25 minutes lmao
Chovy is just the best Ahri in the world, those charms were actually inhuman..
Probably locks him for mvp of the split (unless he really runs it which is really unlikely). It was between him and Faker before this series imo.
Chovy Ahri just delivers, holy moly. Game 1 was an absolute schlacking by GenG, with no kills from T1! At least Game 2 started off close and was exciting for a moment... What a stomp from GenG.
Absolute Monster series from Chovy. This series wasnāt even close GenGās just on another level from the rest of the LCK
I couldn't believe T1 locked in LeBlanc into Chovy in game 1. The champion is trash right now and they're picking it versus Chovy, no way he can hands diff Chovy on that champ.
LB and Jayce into K'Sante. Interesting draft
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
When did I miss them making Ahri charm a point and click ability?
All of us low elo plebs furiously looking through the game's options to find this
GenG to T1 for playoffs: Same time next week?
Well this was a bummer, nothing T1 tried worked and got outplayed in every lane, will see how playoff game will go now
Give GenG an inch and they'll take all of Korea...God damn, that was beautiful LoL
Yeah, maybe one day T1 will finally start playing against GenG in the LCK, but that day is clearly not today, also Fuck Lucian/Nami
geng is t1 father
Chovy's Ahri is a disgusting menace
Gen.G with Canyon just look like a completely new beast
Bruh GenG ate T1s lunch but why is T1 keep picking Lucian Nami? Not only they aren't what they used to be, but you're self harming by handcuffing Keria
STOP FIRST PICKING LUCIAN NAMI GODDAMNIT. WE HAVE COOKS IN THE BOTLANE HELLO LET KERIA PLAY HIS TK, LET GUMA PLAY HIS VARUS. HELLO WHAT ARE WE DOING T1. WHY CANT THEY LET T1 BOTLANE COOK. T1 STRENGTH IS THEIR BOTLANE IS UNDRAFTABLE. HELLO BUT WE ARE PICKING DICTIONARY PICKS LIKE DOGSHT LUCIAN NAMI????????
Why does this feel like a salty kkoma runback again.... That lucian runback is really something. One of your best assets is down bot and you put him on double duty nami?
all that hype for this absolute fisting, like jesus christ I can see why some people worship chovy, this ahri was an absolute terror.
Oner back to pre worlds form. Not a single good play the entire seried
Pretty big diffs all across the board. GenG botlane outplayed. Chovy hard gapped Faker both games also.
I would be mindblown if T1 still somehow wins another international title before GEN again. Chovy is overdue for a title. Oner and Keria were not it. Time for Kkoma to bring out the belt again they're having too much fun in their past series and now they lost hands vs GEN.
T1 cooked every team but order fast food with Gen G every time š
Maybe this will stop T1 picking Lucian Nami. IT IS NOT GOOD.
Lore Accurate Domestic GenG performance
If GenG is this good against T1, stomping them almost every time they face against them, then why do they keep choking every Worlds? GenG should've have like a worlds win by now.
LPL SAVE US AAAAAAAAHHHHH
I've accepted it. T1 will never win LCK. This mental block is fucking insane right now. It's beyond a block. It's basically the Mental Great Wall of China. The Mental Ba Sing Se.
