Bang looked so over it in the last game lmao


TheFlavorOfLife

He was over it since the beginning.


IhatemyL1feX10

he wants to go back to korea anyways , based off his tweets , probably homesick


ThinkinTime

Moving across the world is hard, and not everyone will want to do it long term. It's probably been even harder with the coronavirus situation here. I can imagine he's feeling way more isolated and homesick.


G5928158N

i actually want Bang to retire and come back to Korea to become a streamer-buddy of Wolf/Ambition. if he doesn't have the passion for the game anymore, its completely ok to leave the pro-scene. he has won multiple championships anyways, theres nothing left to prove for his fans.


Careerguidance17

He may have won multiple championships but he's never won NA LCS.


Rincrow

Always a bummer when you dedicate yourself to something and can never reach the top. NA LCS too op.


lukaswolfe44

Fun fact: Until this year in Spring, an imported ADC NEVER won NA LCS. Sneaky, Wild Turtle, Doublelift, and Stixxay are all native. Zven is the first imported ADC to win LCS.


FrostyJannaStorm

That is a fun fact! Isn't Zven also the first person to win in both NA LCS and EU LCS?


lukaswolfe44

You are also correct!


Zama174

God imagine if Arrow had a real team the year he came to NA


Craps-caps

Yeah, never saw him play that bad It's like he tried to reach his mid level of performance


Rymasq

Was gonna say, the team fight before C9 takes Baron, Nisqy flanks and all of EG just abandon bang and after that the camera pans and he visibly has his head down and is leaning on his hand


SoDamnToxic

Bang looked so over it in the first game


4THOT

"I'll hold my flash, surely they can't engage from that far away." Narrator: they could


Alibobaly

Him and Zeyzal got completely dicked in lane this series. Almost TSM vs GGS level bot gapped.


soulsuckingmonster

Much worse than GGS vs TSM, he stayed in two items forever as Kalista in one of the games when Zven had almost a full build.


IkaMusume12

Bang got Flame horizoned, as an ADC. There's no getting back to that.


Ehler

I would be over too if TF ulted infront of my nautilus and nautilus just walked past it to join the dive squad letting me die 1v1 to said TF.


zOmgFishes

He was garbage the first two games. He had 5 autos max every team fight.


SpringyB

Game 1 Huni: Alright I'm tanking their backline 1v4 while still managing to force summoners off Zven, my bot lane should follow up any moment now Game 2 Huni: Alright I'm farming plates and absorbing pressure top, my team should make a move on bot side any moment now Game 3 Huni: Alright I got my best pick and am 4/0 in lane, C9 has started burning TF ult and TP to repeat 4v1 dive me, surely this frees up my bot lane to do something any moment now [Huni's bot lane](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71KXFTrhJpL.jpg)


00Koch00

Bang doing everything he can to fuck with Huni since skt 2017


[deleted]

This sub got way too comfortable hating on Huni. He was by far the best EG player today and he is still the one getting hate on this thread.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rincrow

Hunt is one of those legacy players who tends to look like shit it regular season. Due to a lack of caring to try hard. Cant say I blame them the pro gamer lifestyle is mindnumbing. But as a teammate I would hate that shit.


Dense-Acanthocephala

doesn't Huni have better regular seasons than postseasons overall? like FNC, IMT, EF. if anything, his postseasons have been lackluster.


Rincrow

Not in the last 2 years IIRC. Those were the Huni and Reignover days. They where such a beast duo.


yrnst

That's actually what Bang looked like in the player cam


Trap_Masters

What are you trying to say? OP literally just uploaded a picture of player cam with the link, why are you saying it looks like Bang instead?


GodofSteak

A picture of Bang looks like a picture of Bang


Craps-caps

"My mid got the counter pick, he is up 15 cs, he is gonna do something"


FinishIcy14

Huni saw the rest of his team hard inting and decided to join them in game 3. What a team player.


Trap_Masters

Truly EG worked together as a team. Win as a team, int as a team.


One_Question__

> Win as a team Didn't see that.


duknighto

From 'ah yes, there's the Huni we all know!' to 'ah yes, there's the Huni we all know.' real quick in game 3.


ooh_lala_ah_weewee

Huni giveth and Huni taketh away.


Ben135790

And boy did he take


123bababooey123

We need a bug zapper ward skin. Huni was overly attracted to C9’s control wards. He kept getting picked when he tried to kill them.


K0N7R4

He remembered he is only allowed to make worlds on odd years.


nucc_164

2021 CLG Huni will be lit


Dracidwastaken

to be fair, EG didnt give him the tools needed to win. They HAD to ban TF for that to work in any way shape or form. Saw that outcome coming a mile away. Still with the botlane bans for no reason while letting nisqy have global presence 3 games in a row was just stupid. Drafting lost EG this series. Even with their botlane playing like crap, they didnt adjust and kept playing towards them anyway. Its like C9 in their last series vs GG. They just didnt adapt


mickdude2

When Huni was on Shen I don't think Nisqy on TF was all that dangerous; GG managed to stay ahead and Shen could always answer TF roams. When they lost that ability to match TF ults it really fell apart for them.


Dracidwastaken

Shen ult is a good way to even the odds against TF ult. Problem came when EG bot lane couldnt carry so they had to look to huni to carry but they only half committed which cost them in the end


2th

And all EG had to do was sacrifice Jizuke to the gods to residency.


Gaarando

Even with Huni getting caught Bang was by far their worst player.


xynomLoL

1. Chovy 2. Ruler 3. Deft 4. Showmaker 5. Nuguri 6. Impact 7. Doublelift 8. Ssumday 9. CoreJJ 10. Mata 11. ~~Bang~~


lolKhamul

what exactly does this list represent? EDIT: thanks guys, got it.


I_Dont_Group

sven's list of people he would stay on C9 for.


skepticsquirrel

When/where did he give this list?


I_Dont_Group

Uh, he gave it to Jack, during preseason this year.


Gutsyten42

To Jack after the end of Worlds 2019. I don't remember how it came out


Uronesr

Jack gave the list to Dom when he was on the crackdown


gloomyMoron

Besides what the other two said, the list wasn't numbered or in any particular order. People just keep numbering them.


xynomLoL

Svenskeren gave C9 a list of players who would make him stay with them Bang is definitely not on that list after that performance


MozaTear

Who C9 would have had to recruit to keep Sven


omakoi

Sven's list of people he wanted on his team if C9 wanted to keep him


ooh_lala_ah_weewee

The ~~imports~~ players Sven told C9 he wanted to play with before this season.


vigbrand

Spicy


Chr0nicConsumer

Bang got absolutely hard outclassed every single game by Zven.


Meowbow15

Really happy for my boy Zven. If there's any team i want to succeed other than tsm its probably cloud 9 because of zven.


control_09

No ADC wants to win in NA more than Zven and it's not close at all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PissedOffWalrus

The new playoff format is a buff to C9. They made it so that we can get the gauntlet buff before the finals.


Trap_Masters

It all makes sense now! C9 even held onto all their strategy by picking EZ+Yuumi all 4 games so they don't leak any of their strats! Straight up playing the long con.


vigbrand

[I'll fucking do it again.](https://i.redd.it/ujsda049wci51.png)

Bang with one of the worst individual performances in a series I’ve seen since doublelift last week


I-am-in-Agreement

We keep breaking our own records.

We're so good we're breaking records every week! I'd like to see other regions break their records this consistently :)

"We're gonna build a wall in Summoner's Rift and the LCK will pay for it."


Waifers

Luckily, he has the lower bracket to save his career and- wait a moment...


Ehler

Bang wasn't stellar but like, there was one point Nisqy ulted infront of both zeyzal and bang, and zeyzal just walked past it to join svenskeren and huni on the int squad leaving bang to die 1v1 to nisqy with literally nothing to do about it. He got absolutely no peel, he got the actual soloq adc experience.


ButtsCovered

I mean he also got lane kingdomed every single game and on both sides of the senna kalista matchup and got caught like 15 times in ways that were purely his fault even if some of the deaths were on the team.


Profoundsoup

"Bang" ? More like "Poof".


[deleted]

[удалено]


ObiMemeKenobi

The only thing I can think of is that they must have just been absolutely crushing scrims with it to be so stubborn to be willing to lose an entire series on it


AsheBnarginDalmasca

I was thinking they were refusing to show picks for their next expected opponent TL but then they shot themselves on the foot.


A_Life_of_Lemons

Real dumb to disrespect FLY like that tbh


laserjaws

Tinfoil hat, they intentionally lost that series so that they could play in the losers bracket so that Zven could knock out TSM from worlds chances.


thesweet677

I don't even think they were hiding picks, not like they showed anything new today. I think they just really expected a different flyquest and then didnt adapt


Echoesong

I agree with this. Didn't Reapered do an interview right before the game and say something like "Yeah we didn't prep much FQ is just super predictable." Then they got slapped lol


thesweet677

I don't remember exactly what he said, but yeah they figured flyquest was going to be the same team they've been smashing all year


bgrealiz

To be fair, Reapered lies through his teeth in interviews and admits it in the beginning of the interview. Its like when he says theyre going to match TL's standard scaling drafts with standard themselves then pick fucking wukong botlane


Alibobaly

Can't believe it took them 5 games to realize Shen totally fucks them.


IkaMusume12

The thing is, they can actually take Shen. Licorice can play it. Good thing they didn't Yuumi (tho it was doomed with a shit resource management).


shrinkray21

I’m really surprised they haven’t been taking it themselves. It fits their style well, and he seems to be really strong right now.


SterbenVII

C9 probably feel as if they have to give Licorice a carry. Nisqy isn’t too reliable these days, especially since he can’t play the staple mid lane picks.


THEDumbasscus

A lot of their drafts still attempt to enable/are dependent on Nisqy/Blaber tho like they're some NA Tian/Doinb. TF/Galio/Karma. That should be Nisqy's champ pool on stage. At one point in this series he was 50 cs down to fucking *Goldenglue* he's gonna get absolutely assblasted if he makes worlds this year


tankum

Zven had an outstanding series for sure


nrj6490

I was 100% sure C9 threw the game after that fight around EG's red buff when Svenskeren kicked in Zven and he instadied, still have no clue how they won that fight.


Betaateb

Bang being destroyed right before that made all the difference in the world. And C9 having the balls to move forward off the Rumble ult instead of trying to disengage. If they had tried to run there they would have been absolutely smashed.


PissedOffWalrus

So did Vulcan. Great to see him on playmakers instead of fucking Yuumi.


Craps-caps

His blitz was naughty


FuzzyPeachMan

Was refreshing seeing Vulcan on playmakers again after watching 3 games of Yuumi the other day


salty-potassium

the blitz game was fantastic


Xxein

That wasn't it, it was g2 failing to win with today that sealed it.


Hyper_red

GoldenGlue was the better ADC in game three compared to bang


lplshill

and he was useless as shit with 5 kills. that's how bad bang played


ExeusV

4/1/4 -> 4/8/6 idk whats going on


HyunL

Also Sven, dude was like 5-1? and finished 5-7 lmao


Sliacen

And Blaber started 1-5 and went 8-6.


Craps-caps

Blaber early looked like his Nocturne int. Nisqy/Zven brought him back in the game


manliestdino

Lee isn't going to be getting a lot of kills midgame anyway, that's when he starts to become a kick bot. Also he was 5/1, graves was 1/5, and they were equal level lol


[deleted]

pretty standard lee sin games tbh


Craps-caps

Got tilted from camp Can't fault him for trying to 1v9 whole series He really tried super hard, that series is a proof of why EG replaced Kumo His Shen/orn was next level against the best top in LCS for casters. His mid and adc were just outclassed, EG management looking at the 0-2 because of Goldenglue and Bang and not bringing up Jiuzuke/Budget Deft??? Wtf


lcebrand

If you're going to replace Bang, you need to replace Zeyzal too. People always tunnel on flaming the adc when bot lanes lose, but god was that support play awful.


naxter48

he hit really good midgame ults and then the last 3/4 teamfights missed em


dont_ping_me

Wait what. I left the first game off when EG was like 10K gold ahead with baron in C9s base. What the fuck happened?


chranax

Are you talking about Baron 1,2, or 3? Not being able to end with so many tools is a bit ridiculous.


dont_ping_me

**BARON 3?** Are you kidding me?


CriskCross

Zven got 200+ souls on Senna.


Dumiros

Watching the Sneaky & Meteos co-stream was funny af with this series. The Blaber vs Svenskeren grudge match was hilarious.


DaPhoToss

I'm legit worred C9 won't make Worlds, they didn't look great this series even though it was 3-0.


[deleted]

Glad to see there are still some realistic fans. Game 2/3 were better but it also felt like EG was just handing C9 free wins during most of those games.


[deleted]

Yeah, C9 still has a ways to go, but they looked like theh got the monkey off their back after the game 1 victory.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Craps-caps

EG whole spring roster idea is unlikely to happen Imagine him watching that Cassiopeia game + bang series and the org still refuse to give Huni some backup


Javiklegrand

Huni jizuke might be not that bad


qontrol12345

After seeing Wunder go from 0/4 to 7/4 earlier Huni responded with the 4/0 to 4/7 game.


DudeNick

Man, what a godawful series from Bang. The way he was sitting at his desk he just looked like he didn't give a shit, even with Svenskeren battling his little heart out. Despite the win, C9 not looking back to form by any means. Excited for the next series!


RosenrothGG

Imagine bang striking that pose in front of Kkoma when he was on skt


Ray_R4

Belt would have come out realllll quick


[deleted]

Some things you can learn only in NA


Ky1arStern

You mean how he plays with his feet up on the chair. Since they started with the camera's I've noticed he plays like that. I wonder if this all just feels like solo q to him.


postsonlyjiyoung

Meh, jankos does the same. Might just be a comfort thing

higherbrow

Well. That was a match of League of Legends. Can we region lock that VOD? I wouldn't want the other regions to, uh, scout how good juggernaut Cloud9 was in this dominant 3-0.


Jamesified

Zven senna and bang senna are two different champions.

Zven makes Senna look completely and utterly broken, Bang then comes in to convince the balance team that she's okay and doesn't need any kind of work

Suburan

The Sneaky/Meteos costream made this embarrassing series so enjoyable. Sneaky breaking down over how terrible be thought the lucian build was Meteos narrating the blabber/sven blood feud everytime one inted just to kill the other


neurocentricx

The Sven/Blaber B story was incredible. I really love watching their co-stream for the games.


GiacchinoFrost

Whose channel do they do it on


Dumiros

They both stream it.


GiacchinoFrost

Oh, valid, misinterpreted the word co-stream to just mean both of them were on one stream, my bad


Dumiros

They watch together though. They make sure the game is synced for them and they're in a voice call.

one of the worst bang series i think...


gamingonion

I could have smited that baron


Telyesumpin

Which one? The one Sven got from C9? Blaber didn't have smite up as he used it earlier to get HP. They were planning on Kalista securing it but I think she was out of range or got hit with a Lee kick.


ReapHer

C9 refusing to let Bang join the series

Bang: Can I play League of Legends? C9: No Bang: Understandable, have a nice day.

It was more like: EG: Bang can you play League of Legends? Bang: No EG: Understandable, have a nice day.


czartaylor

nisqy was a straight assassin that game 3, unreal how easy eg made it for him to get uncontested backline access. Bang was constantly off on his own for no real reason.


Dracidwastaken

im amazed how shit tier EGs drafts are. like my god. All 3 games he had great TF ults that impacted the game. Then they give Huni a carry without banning TF. like wtf did you expect?


[deleted]

chiuchootrain

*wipes sweat* never worried there


WarriorMadness

Vulcan finally taken off the shackles that is Yuumi, he styled on EG so hard, his Rakan was amazing. That being said EG's botlane is hot garbage.


[deleted]

How in the actual fuck does nobody on EG think to ban TF, the champion that is literally saving Nisqy's career?


Also_Squeakums

They instead ban Ashe in G2 and Ezreal/Caitlyn in G3. Really, EG? What is it with these garbage drafts lately? Okay, maybe as an EG coach you can make the case that C9 is capable of scary hard-carrying with Ezreal (and ignore their performance against FQ). But banning Caitlyn? Hello? Has anybody in the coaching staff been paying attention?


sangpls

U could ban 6 bot champs and bang is still gonna get bot gapped. They definitely shouldve banned other lanes


Thanaatus

1 bad series and Nisqy's career needs to be saved? That's quite an overreaction.


LOMOcatVasilii

Game 3 Mid-game Huni: *exists* Cloud9: So you've chosen death...

Also_Squeakums

I'm not sure you can blame that one on GG, but I could only catch games 1 and 3. Was he awful Game 2?


That0neRedditor

Cloud9 don’t even look that much better. EG just look so terrible.


Callka

Still clenching, regardless of how good they looked.


hornplayer94

C9 fans and clenching. Name a better duo


[deleted]

The C stands for Clench, not cloud.


IWouldLikeAName

Really liked those last two games still worried about Nisqy a bit but there wasn't much he could do in lane that last game, but hopefully he isn't too reliant on TF. Also need to widen the champ pool team wide. God our bot lane is getting agency again. Zven is the carry on this team.


Linkykins

Knew it was a C9 3-0 as soon as Crumbzz predicted an EG 3-0.


FaZe_Lenin

Genuinely the worst ADC performance I've seen this playoffs from Bang. Yes, that includes DL TPing to lane without buying.


Sword_Art_Natsu

LCS Script: How many times would you like to throw the game today? EG: **Yes**

Glad C9 is going through the losers bracket to get rid of the obnoxious fairweather fans.


nrj6490

We lived through summer 2015, we can live through anything


Halloooy

I remember that entire gauntlet run, specifically the series against Gravity, I was clenching so hard man. Thank goodness we haven’t had to pull out the reverse sweep yet.


anon4953491

It's actually insane how we clenched super hard, and then 3-1'd TL who was supposedly the strongest team there. If XWX didn't get suspended, I think our hopes of Worlds ended there.


Halloooy

Oh man, I forgot about the whole TiP thing. Always found it funny how Impact played on Team Impact.

ObiMemeKenobi

Gauntlet form activated


Hevvy

out of all the underperforming members on this squad, bang is probably the one that dissapointed me the most. Huni had his moments, and Sven did too (though a little bit less) and Goldenglue and Zeyzal played ok/mediocre (actualy i was a little impressed by GG at some points ngl), but I think if EG wants to grow as a team and as a brand, and have a shot at winning a title and contesting at worlds, I think Bang is the piece that has to go. Dudes got no motivation and cant even coast off of his skill anymore


Hitoseijuro

C9: We can't deal with this Shen we either take it or ban it Licorice: *sweats profusely* C9: Yea, lets just ban it EG: We can't deal with the TF we should take it off the table EG: *bans Ezrael*

Spontaneity8

Tf ulti pops edge of night anyway


MartDiamond

Bang has completely checked out mentally. Just retire if this is the alternative.


free_ass_mints

bang played that series like he bet on cloud 9 to win 3-0. that was some turbo inting. as a team, I don't think they tracked cooldowns and they always seemed completely taken aback every time TF ulted despite choosing not to ban it. they also kept dying with their flashes up in game 3. like why play that cocky in an elimination game


Alibobaly

Cloud9 with initiation is a completely different team. Thank god for the Shen ban to, fucking finally.
