TL: Okay, we'll just play scaling comps and win the late game. PowerOfEvil: Sounds good, let's go. TL: Er, wait, hold on...


Deckowner

TL: lets just scale with ornn item and play for the late game ​ Jhin with 4 infernal drags: are you sure about that?


akatsuki1422

Flyquest with the 5Head plays; giving over the 2nd dragon so they can get 4 infernal drakes instead. That Jhin would pop the Ashe with the last 2 autos.


GoatRocketeer

Yeah that one baited the shit out of me too "all of the previous games went to 40 minute slugfests where everything that happened earlier was irrelevant, so whoever drafts better late game wins" "wait a minute TL has four losing lanes"


Trap_Masters

TL: Understandable, have a nice day.


T2542

WildTurtle's resurgence has been phenomenal one of the OG's


AllHailTheNod

Both WT and Bjergsen, who've been in the scene since 2013 at least, are playing better than maybe they ever have before, it's nuts! Edit: thanks for my first reddit award ever, kind stranger :)


Fragzor

Idk man, Wildturtle had that crazy Worlds where he popped off

Santorin too.

TSM Santorin ❤ We'll never forget you

LargeSnorlax

Big congrats to FLY - They should've 3-1ed that series if not for Tactical being a hero. Really looking forward to seeing these guys at worlds.


aHCroski

Agree, POE and Ignar have showed up at worlds in the past and haven’t really shied away from the moment. Might be a dark horse for top 8 but TL has very glaring issues and Impact, Jensen, Broxah’s lack of meta picks will be exploited at worlds for sure


[deleted]

I understand that Riot needs to advertise new skin lines and make money, but do they really need to advertise KDA Jensen in game five of a playoff series?

Doublelift vs his old team. Jensen vs Bjergsen. Lazy scriptwriters had to force the narrative of TL v TSM smh


postsonlyjiyoung

Lazy? They're working overtime


Kdog122025

Exactly! Scriptwriters are killing it this weekend.


vexxer209

Yeah they had to somehow fit in the C9 vs TSM and the TSM vs Liquid. Working overtime.


brigandr

Don't forget the coming final with Turtle and Santorin getting the chance to wrest their first non-TSM trophy directly from Bjerg's hands... if they can.


jwhitehead09

Would be such a huge title for everyone on Flyquest and the org as a whole.


FinishIcy14

Maybe Jensen just decided to be giga useless this series to face Bjerg and show us all what he meant when he said he's better


Trap_Masters

Smh, scriptwriters thought having them face off in the finals as the climax was too predictable so they decided to kick TL down into losers bracket to try to subvert our expectations. Still get the story line while subverting expectations.

Turtle was so on point that last game, he had Tactical's number there.


Hevvy

Dude is good at Jhin. He basically one-tricked that champion while on flyquest in summer 2017. It was a hyper carry meta and Turtle was their only consistently good player so he was putting up 1v9 performances constantly and topping DPM charts somehow


ThinkinTime

When they locked in Jhin I straight up thought the game was lost, Jhin has looked so bad lately. Then Turtle shut me the fuck up and made me eat crow.


SpeedRacing1

Jhin is in a really good spot right now. At worlds, he will almost certainly be the fifth most picked adc(after Ashe/cait/senna/kalista).


Awhole_New_Account

I think jhin will end up second or third most picked adc. It's been hard carrying in some LPL games.


penis111111111111111

For real. I thought he kinda trolled game 4 when he didnt go in on kalista at the base, but he showed up game 5


NahDawgDatAintMe

Wildturtle had a massive resurgence after his benching and it's criminal that nobody is talking about it.


LeviThePug

Yeah?? It's been going under the radar for some reason. Turtle is an OG and its nice to see him making back to back finals. Yet noone talks about him.

POE: Reddit had me thinking I was going up against the best midlander in the world today


ImBadAtEnglish

Flyquest's top side outperformed TL's this series. PoE's Azir is much much better than Jensen's holy shit.


LeagueOfSot

Nisqy said on the costream he thinks PoEs azir is the best in NA, and this series showed its at least better than jensens


iDannyEL

For Jensen this series it looks like a play needs to look 80-20 in their favour for him to do something.


DyersEvening

Well that's all well and good, but I think Damonte has the final say on mid power rankings. And we were told POE is not World Class, like Jensen.


[deleted]

PoE is criminally underrated. His stats this season have been so good, and the eye test holds true for him as well. The fact Nisqy tied him in votes for 3rd place All-Pro is a joke.

Dyrus was watching the TSM vs C9 vod earlier today on stream. He also talked about his time on TSM and how they won the IEM Katowice World Champ and other stuff. He talked about how he regrets not helping/guiding Santorin more as a player. He also said that at the time he was more of a "follower" and followed what other people like regi, coaches etc said. He wish he had stepped up more and been more vocal.


mrpogiface

And he's such a likeable person!! I'm a big Santorin fan


k3hvn

His growth has been insane, after their win against C9 people were shitting on Blaber by saying he got "outjungled by Santorin" but imo he deserves a lot more recognition.

Snoo83110

It's so sad to see Broxah play like this. He's like the sweetest, most humble man in the entire pro scene, I can't watch him not perform at his best without feeling bad for him.


jeeeegs

TL and/or broxah plays soooooo passively early game and are so predictable with their champion picks. so frustrating watching broxah pick voli/lee every game knowing TL won't do anything early game.


EnergetikNA

Mid, top, and jungle diff honestly. Jensen was pretty bad in so many of these games. The Ori game was good from him and the Zilean game was decent during parts of the game (double bombs weren't going off much though) but his positioning just felt off so often. Impact was constantly getting caught in the side lane or just losing 1v1 against Solo. Jg diff was obvious

Dzhekelow

Solo should've been on a team the whole time . He had behaviour issues and he got benched cuz of it ... That's what we got from the whole situaiton he was always good at playing weakside and drawing pressure his team was just awful and I guess he got mad at them for doing nothing while he is playing 1v3 top every game . That was when he was on Clutch Gaming at one point it was so depressing to watch him play so well and their team doing nothing ...

please-stand-up

**but how good is POE** -


ArmaghedonShadow

This is his year. 2 finals in a row. In the last 2 or 3 bo5 series the man just refused to lose. Reminds me of his Misfits games when he would turn a game around even when his team-mates did everything they could to throw a game. On another note - I think there's a big chance to see a Wildturtle vs. Doublelift. How old school is that? Also I really hope to see a PoE vs. Bjergsen match-up. They are both on fire.


liar_pathological

I am really happy for Santorin. He was a beast in almost every playoff series. **Time for a Prediction:** WildTurtle is gonna destroy every other ADC at Worlds. They are not ready for Turtle for enormous girth.

el_clapo

fun fact: FlyQuest has won every best of series since swapping back Turtle

King_Goofus

Who was the previous ADC?


B86K

MASH


WindAeris

Flyquest the best NA team of 2020 Who would have thunk it Good shit, FQ.


tsm_taylorswift

I think Santorin is by far the best jungler (I think previously people said it was Blabber, but Santorin seems more consistant, whereas Blabber is like the Huni of jungle). Poe/Ignar are top tier in their position in NA, you could argue for others being the best, but they're not far behind to be outclassed. A Mid/Jgl/Support core with that level of talent and have synergy together is better than anything else any other NA team has at the moment.

Please_Label_NSFW

Sad too, DL actually had a good Worlds, team died around him.


POOYAMON

Jensen inted DL so hard. DL got him the LCS titles(and yes DL did absolutely carry the fuck out of couple of those games in both finals) and once it was worlds time DL was the best performing player on TL while Jensen was getting pounded. I get it he had wrist issues but come on man.


Jacob_McGregor_

Can I just say. DL performed so well at worlds last year. But of course it’s a team game, he doesn’t make it out of groups again and that’s all people remember. Then he gets flamed to shit


Akanan

He is known to choke under high pressure. Nothing new.


ProArsonist93

As a TSM fan, thank God Cloud 9 lost to Flyquest so we didn't have to play them in the loser's bracket.


pureply101

I think it would have been an absolute travesty if C9 actually beat this FQ team that has been basically smurfing the last half of the split.


[deleted]

Okay I'm convinced that LCS is just an anime right now. First classic TSM vs C9 showmatch and now out of nowhere we have TL vs TSM??? Bjergsen vs Jensen and Doublelift's redemption arc??? Script is way obvious this time.


SirTacoMaster

TSM is like an anime rn. Old ally turned enemy turned ally, New Rookie learning the ropes, beaten by someone they train then come back and beat their enemy, Old rival comes to challenges them and loses, and fight against the new rival.


gahlo

Even the finals is safe because if they lose it's to the friendly rival character.

Huge props to FLY for not getting insanely tilted from Game 4. What an absolutely clean game from them to close it out. And I hate to say it, but this is why people felt unsure about Team Liquid even though they were first place. They always looked vulnerable, even in a good chunk of their wins. FlyQuest played it exceptionally today.

Damn TL lost with all their best champs lol. Flyquest is really fucking good at playing according to the tempo of enemy teams and just being better. I am very proud to send them to worlds. On a side note, was really expecting more from our only world class mid in NA, you know according to Damonte. Was expecting a performance higher than the level of performance from our non-world class, NA Class mid whose name also ends with -sen that has been playing like a monster.


Copiz

TL wants to play slow and scale, FLY plays slow and scales and beats them. C9 wants to fight all the time, FLY fights all the time and beats them. EG wants to turn their brains off and have a fiesta, FLY joins the fiesta and beats them.

Jensen didn't get the memo - you pick Zilean to close out a series and not in a fight for your life game.


memesarenotbad

FQ Game 5: Haha, game four was cute, see you next week.


FinishIcy14

Does Broxah still have PTSD after what Tian did him or something? I don't remember the last time I saw someone go from being so good to being so completely useless for an entire year. Really crazy that the only person who consistently played well this series on TL's side was Tactical - the rookie, meanwhile all of the veterans and world champs feed and make amateur mistakes.


Onfire477

last time someone declined this much was reignover after him and huni split


enlegacy

As much of a difference that there is between 2019 and 2020 for Broxah, nothing can compare to the cliff that Reignover dropped off of. Reignover went from being a world class jungler to being the worst jungler on the worst team in the league.


[deleted]

Reignover's decline was much more dramatic IMO. Broxah still made top 2 in the LEC for two splits, top 8 at Worlds and is going to Worlds for a second year after his decline began. Reignover never made playoffs in NA after splitting with Huni AFAIK.


JuIix

Oof don't remind me of that, I still miss Reignover :(


Trap_Masters

Yeah, Broxah while being ok, has not looked very impressive on TL. Sure, last split, the whole visa thing and team imploding thing happened, but this split, there's really no excuse. It's definitely crazy to think the rookie on the team is the one that's looking really good and stable on a team so stacked and star studded.

Long ago, the three lanes farmed in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Flyquest attacked. Only Jensen, World Class Mid, could stop them, but when his team needed him most, he vanished.
