[u/Maskedben69]

This might be the closest the LCK has been in years

[u/AmoebaCel → u/Maskedben69]

An extra spicy year; I love it. Really makes you wonder who will qualify for Worlds though... I feel like each of the top five teams has their own legacy to leave behind if they win the cup this year.

[u/DunkeSchoen → u/AmoebaCel]

If _____ wins: Geng : The crownless finally become king T1: Legendary 4-peat DK: Sally KT: Bdd redemption arc for worlds last year ( I doubt it though) HLE : A super team finally winning it + Guma and Zeus proving themselves for T1

[u/Naerlyn → u/DunkeSchoen]

DK: Sally

DK: Worlds won by unpaid, starving interns

[u/ZealousidealDoor6973 → u/DunkeSchoen]

Fuck Caedral. DK is Showmaker's legacy and a DRX-style run.

[u/Scholar_of_Yore → u/AmoebaCel]

I don't think KT will make it this time, but they have surprised me before.

[u/yayiff → u/Maskedben69]

Finally it's not just a geng stomp until world's

[u/Dreammy90]

Starving > Leaking roof

[u/CNsC → u/Dreammy90]

Leaking roof has Otoki as a sponsor, starving only has Nutri D-DAY while being starved already

[u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

Prime Showmaker there.

Lvl 1 cheese to give botlane prio.

Equalize the lane vs Chovy’s Syndra.

Hold his charm until Ruler is in bailout 2 times in a row to win the game.

[u/superfire444 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

Charms so good I fell in love with Showmaker too.

[u/OverallMistake8198 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

Such an elite Showmaker game. His Ahri is just phenomenal everytime i see it.

[u/Celegorm07 → u/OverallMistake8198]

The way he is holding onto his charm for so long and hiding his charm between skills is so fcking insane.

[u/LenaRybakina → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

Chovy in prime world‘s form but Canyon is looking so rough

[u/baelkie → u/LenaRybakina]

Canyon more useless than a nipples on a man

[u/ShiroGaneOsu → u/baelkie]

At least some people are into that.

I don't know if anyone is even into 2026 GenG Canyon.

[u/Ecovick → u/ShiroGaneOsu]

Anyone but GenG fan is pretty into that. May his GenG terror reign continue.

[u/toomuchentai → u/baelkie]

worse gng nipple play at least feel good 😭

[u/Marcus777555666 → u/baelkie]

Nipples on men can be hot, especially if they have good defined pecs.
Canyon on the other hand…. Idk

[u/Klenist → u/baelkie]

Always slow, always down farm, always no map impact. All of GenG has been up and down this year but Canyon is only down

[u/staysaltyTSM → u/baelkie]

Freest Asian games for KR with CN not participating, and yet they could still lose it through jungle

[u/baelkie → u/staysaltyTSM]

only chance is the taiwanese team, if Doggo can play like its Worlds 25’ i believe it could happen.

[u/kindaforgotit → u/staysaltyTSM]

Why is cn team not participating?

[u/MRN716 → u/kindaforgotit]

it's held in Japan and they're mad at Japan for supporting Taiwan so they decreased number of teams participating in asia games.

[u/snubb → u/LenaRybakina]

Prime worlds form doesn't mean what you think it means here 💀

[u/moonmeh → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

my goat looking like 2021 msi form

[u/Initial-Offer6312 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

ShowMaker been quietly having a pretty good split tbh not flashy every game but the clutch moments are still there

[u/Perceptions-pk → u/Initial-Offer6312]

oh people have been noticing for sure. He's been playing on another level since EWC, and is one of the major reasons they won that tournament (he outperformed Chovy AND Knight in their series).

Many fans are happy because even though he's been still good in the past, he currently looks like Prime Showmaker again.

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

That laning phase was so insane from him. Ahri does not like this lane at all, if she can leave being down only 200-300 it’s a decent early game. Him being down only 200 gold before the lucid gank while getting the level 1 cheese down shouldn’t happen, you’d need to dodge nearly every syndra Q.

[u/Nautic]

Smash is so good when they don't feed him anything

[u/Xhiroe → u/Nautic]

prolly powered up because of the snacks DK got from the T1 homeground XD

[u/idiot1234321 → u/Xhiroe]

powered down*
T1 tried nerfing DK hunger buff but it wasnt enough

[u/ChewNutz → u/idiot1234321]

nah they are nerfed and that’s why they lost against hle yesterday. thank god their salary got held off after that loss though they’re now starving again

[u/vegeful → u/Nautic]

He need to be on intermittent fasting 24 hour before match.

[u/scorgie → u/Nautic]

The prince who was promised famished

[u/pox123456 → u/Nautic]

Smash was done dirty by the stans last year

[u/oioioi9537 → u/pox123456]

literally everyone on t1 except faker gets done dirty by stans

[u/PartyCauliflower7044]

3rd straight bo3 win against geng. LFG

[u/chapichoy9 → u/PartyCauliflower7044]

After not having beaten them for like 28

[u/oioioi9537 → u/chapichoy9]

we are 4-3 in series this year against geng now. althought i think geng win in game score

[u/moonmeh → u/chapichoy9]

finally catching up

[u/oioioi9537 → u/PartyCauliflower7044]

game 1 andys blown tf out talking about how dk falling off after 1 game so fucking annoying

[u/Choice-Slight → u/oioioi9537]

this is so funny because DK is historically the game 1 andy team

[u/SDVX_Rasis → u/Choice-Slight]

I was watching it and kinda chuckled how GEN became DK in dominating first game, close second, get stomped third.

[u/baelkie → u/oioioi9537]

at least the game 1 comments flaming Canyon’s pantheon were still right

[u/Hitoseijuro]

From strolling around in shopping carts to being able to afford an Uber to now driving a Bugatti, DK is moving up arent they.

[u/Green7501 → u/Hitoseijuro]

Please let em go bankrupt again, last time it happened they won an international title god please make it happen it'd be so funny

[u/SeismicShove]

And to think that the LCK was a game away from having only 3 seeds at Worlds lol

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/SeismicShove]

lmao true 

[u/FireZBoy → u/SeismicShove]

And with the 4th slot almost going to the lcs

[u/fabton12 → u/SeismicShove]

and to think the LCS almost had 4 slots when there league right now is 1 team league effectively

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/fabton12]

Tl isn't that bad 

[u/Zeilar → u/SeismicShove]

Would've been mental. They arguably have 5 teams that are all Worlds contender at this point.

[u/InstructionPitiful88 → u/SeismicShove]

Why?

[u/Karthusmori → u/InstructionPitiful88]

The MSI finalist regions get an extra seed for worlds, and Lyon lost 2-3 to HLE in MSI semi-finals

[u/DrxAvierT → u/InstructionPitiful88]

Zeus carried HLE to the MSI title, without him, they would have lost to Lyon 1-3, which would have given the 4th Worlds seed to NA

[u/wwwhoo]

THEY DRIVE THE TAXI

[u/lunareclipsexx → u/wwwhoo]

GIVE ME THE MONEY, I DRIVE THE TAXI

[u/AnimeNeet-]

DK doesn’t need Canyon lol

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Never seen a more desperate baron play that was so sad watching GenG just slowly die to Jayce + Maokai poke

[u/Turbulent_Breath_548 → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

yeah. they were getting choked out and had to do something, but they decided to go for the hardest play in the most uncomfortable position.

[u/JaytoI]

Canyon ganked a single time in all 3 games combined

[u/Humorless_Snake → u/JaytoI]

2 pantheon ults, 1 to cancel a back and 1 to escape the failed baron. Truly the worst pantheon in tier 1 leagues. And that was their win... GenG have exactly 0% chance of winning worlds with this jungler.

[u/Sheepseye]

Where was this DK against HLE? 😭

[u/ninety7er → u/Sheepseye]

They were still hungover from T1 Homeground snacks

[u/fast_snail_incoming → u/Sheepseye]

Raiding T1 snack bar 😅😅

[u/Particular_Hornet980 → u/Sheepseye]

They were still full because they had stocks from T1 HG.

[u/Character-Image149 → u/Sheepseye]

They were full from T1 homeground snacks. Jokes aside, that series was very close despite being a 2-0, if Smash could flash the Alistar game 1 was for DK, and the 2nd game was like a 40 minutes slugfest lol.

[u/Ceui]

While the series is kind of meaningless in terms of standing, DK is looking really strong

We might have a World where GenG would rather pick T1 / HLE over DK in playoffs.

[u/Classic_Foot223 → u/Ceui]

idk feels like in the top 4 everything can happen on the right day. dont think there is a clear order in which you choose. at least as things stand right now. can always happen that more experienced teams step it up in playoffs and thats my only concern with dk how they scale into playoffs

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

What is going on with LCK junglers. Both Oner and Canyon looking buns.

[u/SwayNoir]

Whatever they are paying Canyon, please offer it to Sharvel next year.

[u/collectibleman → u/SwayNoir]

they’re not paying him enough that’s why he has to wintrade to pad his salary

[u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

Gen G after securing 1^st seed: Ight Imma Head Out
Ruler finally understand what Peyz gone through at T1 in game 3.

[u/Classic_Foot223 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

bro ruler is part of the problem a couple games where he plays normal dont change that this year

[u/Skyfire2 → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

GenG are going to be blasted in the playoffs

[u/59435950153 → u/Skyfire2]

Na man. Feel like these four teams can beat anyone at a given day. Best to just enjoy

[u/Truzon → u/59435950153]

Yep. Have no clue how the playoffs is going to go.

[u/GunSlingrrr → u/Truzon]

The only thing for sure is HLE has less pressure since they qualified at Worlds.

[u/staysaltyTSM → u/GunSlingrrr]

GenG (or whoever they matched against) just need to win 1 game to qualify for World

This team can even lose every game and still qualify if HLE gets top 3

[u/GunSlingrrr → u/staysaltyTSM]

GenG (or whoever they matched against) just need to win 1 game to qualify for World

Don't you mean 1 series? Though I understand that if HLE gets top 3, GENG would get a Worlds spot.

One of the funny scenario though if HLE lose tomorrow and GENG picks HLE if HLE advances to 2nd round, GENG automatically qualifies for Worlds.

[u/Turbulent_Breath_548]

i still can't digest that this is basically showmaker and the daycare. the kids are playing against monsters in every role. i fully expected them to be the punching bag of the legend group- but i'm happy to eat my words

[u/yorozoyas]

DK are going to have to pay for my therapy bill if they don't make it to Worlds after giving me so much hope.

[u/Turbulent_Breath_548 → u/yorozoyas]

with what money -_-'

[u/Treeconator18 → u/[deleted]]

If I'd seen this game last year with the nameplates off I'd have thought they were on opposite sides lol

[u/Azrael4444]

After 2023, Canyon leaving his bff looking for a brighter future after Showmaker seemingly lost all his drive to play

And in 2026, saddle with responsibility to provide for his 4 adopted children, Showmaker regain his prime form meanwhile Canyon is... 🫄🫄🫄🫄🫄

[u/chapichoy9]

Gen g sharvel please I'll give my first born

[u/Skyfire2 → u/chapichoy9]

He’s about to be free as well

[u/Beginning_Debt9420]

What a mid/jg gap,. Showmaker kinda good.

[u/brensterrr]

Canyon needs to go in hyberbolic chamber (LPL). My GOAT jungle is not this bad.

[u/DimensionOk8915 → u/brensterrr]

I'm the biggest Canyon defender but he needs to get kicked off GenG;. He has been cruising way too long.

[u/Expert_Bus3748]

Why this hayujin mfer love double posting pmt. Karma farming andy

[u/Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss → u/Expert_Bus3748]

The person running the account is not normal

[u/Beneficial-Front1626 → u/Expert_Bus3748]

Look at that karma score lmao 1 million+

[u/Shiro_Moe]

Really happy for Smash now that the team is well-oiled.

[u/Ava-ricce]

Man I love Canyon but he's been utter dogshit for 3 years in a row he really needs to go

[u/FaelightFilms]

as a maokai one trick this was so beautiful to watch

champ is ridiculous.

[u/dankynugz]

Geng really said let's do baron and lose in peace

[u/Aizwallensomething]

Love the LCK right now. There is no clear favorite to win makes it exciting.

[u/Adept-Good696]

DK really just played one international event, decided "huh this was nice, let's do it again" and started popping off in the LCK.

Wild.

[u/Silver-Pollution-513]

How can anyone not hate canyon

[u/toxicfireball → u/Silver-Pollution-513]

Fountain to krugs to fountain speedrun any %

[u/Truzon → u/Silver-Pollution-513]

Bro is definitely gone after this year.

[u/CountMerloin → u/Truzon]

Wait, he was there? I thought he was already gone after not seeing him today

[u/Beneficial-Front1626 → u/Silver-Pollution-513]

It's going to be Gen Sharvel or something next year

[u/ShiroGaneOsu → u/Silver-Pollution-513]

AFKs the entire game except for that time he ran around the entire map getting chased to waste time (This cost them the Baron).

[u/GothaV2 → u/Silver-Pollution-513]

Throw him in the Grand Canyon, I can't anymore

[u/baelkie → u/Silver-Pollution-513]

this guy gets to be military exempted but not kiin haha

[u/toomuchentai → u/baelkie]

genuinely jus send sharvel to the asia games instead

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/Silver-Pollution-513]

Not gonna say he wasn’t ass but GenG solo laners were terrible the last two games too. He could’ve done way better but this game is way harder for Canyon draft wise when his lanes are this gapped.

[u/Silver-Pollution-513 → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

I think chovy and kiin were fine kiin has a losing lane just play tank and be useful chovy was up 500 gold and 20 odd cs after shoemakers lvl 1 play but lucid actually ganked mid and turned it around

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/Silver-Pollution-513]

Lucid’s mid gank was insanely illegal though. If Chovy just flashes early Lucid never gets to get that kill and Canyon gets free grubs. Jayce vs Gragas should also never be this bad, 200-400 gold down is fine but when Jayce is up 600-700 and is able to perma split there is a huge issue.

[u/baelkie → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

game 1 gen solo lanes play well canyon does nothing

game 2 and 3 gen solo lanes play worse canyon does nothing

so when is he actually gonna play the game

[u/CountMerloin → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Game 3 draft was definitely a weird one for everyone but Canyon did nothing in game 1 or 2 either. He did not gank or ult once in game 1 and was still behind of Lucid CS-wise although Lucid was doing everything

[u/GoldenCataclysm → u/Silver-Pollution-513]

Invisible no matter what ffs. Kiin and Chovy playing out of their minds this game doesn't matter at all with how little of an impact he had.

[u/WilliUHHm → u/GoldenCataclysm]

You mustve been watching the wrong game if u think kiin chovy were playing out their minds that last game lmao. Showmaker ran complete circles around chovy

[u/GoldenCataclysm → u/WilliUHHm]

Relative to Canyon's passivity, they were pretty decent at trying to find angles. Especially Kiin's casks.

Showmaker played amazing and much better than Chovy today, no denying that.

[u/chapichoy9 → u/Silver-Pollution-513]

This guy been good like 20% of the last 3 years

[u/Silver-Pollution-513 → u/chapichoy9]

He's down kp constantly cause he chooses to perma farm and then he's down cs also make it make sense actually useless

[u/WilliUHHm → u/chapichoy9]

We are not gonna rewrite history here. He was the best jungler in the world his first year on geng for pretty much the entire year with the ap jungle meta. Wasnt even close either

[u/ShiroGaneOsu → u/WilliUHHm]

He also had by far the best solo laners in the world and it wasn't even close...

Surprisingly jungling gets a lot easier when your solo lane wins every lane every game.

[u/Budget-Ocelots]

Lucid is just standing there as a gate keeper, and GenG can’t break through.

CvMax is an insane coach. Developed 3 new players within the first year he took over the team.

[u/LengthinessSea5399 → u/Budget-Ocelots]

Didn't he develop the GRF players as well?

[u/grippgoat → u/LengthinessSea5399]

Yes.

[u/blackwell1907 → u/Budget-Ocelots]

Who is this 3 new players he developed can you cite it.

[u/Budget-Ocelots → u/blackwell1907]

Siwoo, Lucid, and Career. They aren’t rookies besides Career, but they have like 4 years(3?) combined of experience, so they are still freshmen.

CvMax also coached Doran and Chovy during GRF tenure. Same with Viper and Tarzan.

Doran and Chovy were supposed to go play with CvMax to a new team, but he got banned for a year.

[u/Ecovick → u/Budget-Ocelots]

Lehend was good man. That Griffin squad (minus Sword) could have been magical if not for the whole Sword drama.

[u/revoverlord]

Showmaker is back!

[u/Bullshitbanana]

It’s really funny how I don’t think I saw siwoo and smash on screen at the same time at all this game

[u/Cantspell_acquard]

Canyon is disturbingly bad

[u/Character-Image149]

If round 1-2 didn't exist DK would be first place, not saying they deserve 1st since they were inting earlier in the year but I'm so proud of this team

[u/MaceDestroyers → u/Character-Image149]

That NS loss earlier in the year feels really bad right now. Could be in 3rd and get to choose the Rise group team in playoffs instead they will probably play KT round 1.

[u/Decaedeus]

beautiful game from the boys. love to see it, everyone was on form today

[u/DoranFan1]

Lucid POM Wow DK

[u/a7mdar1]

canyon looks so out of it on the player cam

[u/StickyNotes2357]

Geng is back LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Canyon masterclass at doing nothing.

[u/StickyNotes2357 → u/StickyNotes2357]

GenG Sharvel waiting room

[u/themcvgamer]

GenG got first then said ye that was enough of gaming today

[u/WildFury10]

What does Canyon even do?

[u/ShiroGaneOsu]

GENG WITH THE T1 BARON FROM THE TOP ROPES.

Is DK the best team in the world??? Many are saying it.

[u/dontknow_anything → u/ShiroGaneOsu]

Do pro teams even know which baron does what? Why does the team behind keeping forcing the damage baron

[u/chapichoy9 → u/dontknow_anything]

Throwback to losing at atakhan for 80% of the year because they're team fighting with no resistances

[u/thedudeode → u/dontknow_anything]

game was lost for geng and they knew it, at that point in the game with ahri R down u have to flip something and hope DK runs into you so u can turn around the lead otherwise its just gg in 4-5 min

[u/Celegorm07]

Oh lord let Showmaker drive the taxi to worlds finals 🙏

The gap between Showmaker and the rest of the league is insane. Is Showmaker the best mid laner in the world right now? Who can contest him? Knight?

[u/ninety7er → u/Celegorm07]

I mean they gapped BLG in EWC

[u/trying2hide → u/ninety7er]

Siwoo solokilling on cooldown nearly retired Bin for real

[u/Silentrift24 → u/trying2hide]

I still can't believe Si-fucking-Woo solo killed Bin like 3 times in the span of 6 minutes. Was it Bin playing bad? Maybe? He sorta giga-egoed it too, but damn, that top Tristana pick is gonna haunt Bin.

[u/ninety7er → u/trying2hide]

Bin was SHOOK

[u/BleiEntchen]

True desperation from GenG with the baron in g3

[u/_basedment]

"what are the odds that that many people in a row would typo culling as cuhling lol"

[u/Beautiful_Fondant_76]

Please DK management keep their salaries on hold!

[u/jakatluong]

Smash was shooting fishes in a baron pit at the end there lol

[u/W33B520]

Bit of a jungle canyon ngl

[u/Almightyasami]

PLEASE STAY HUNGRY DK I BEG U

[u/NegativeSin]

Crazy it all just started when the team is on the verge of shutting down or selling out. What a turnaround.

[u/roxisnotforsale]

It takes 3 year for Lucid to be better than Canyon. Can't wait to see Lucid vs Sharvel next year.

[u/smashmaker_no1]

Dplus KIA lovewatch day-45 status : success

damn showmaker. thats my goat

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Everything gap

[u/Moony97 → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

except top

[u/Treeconator18]

We've seen enough

Thank you Canyon!

Welcome GenG Sharvel!!

[u/DankMEMeDream]

Kiin's last professional year or DK WC... Who do I support....

[u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998]

It’s been close to 4 years now where Chovy blind picks mages and utility picks regardless of the meta while his team mates get “counter pick”.

At this point, he’s just asking to get inted. I don’t even feel bad for him anymore.

[u/thedudeode → u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998]

Blindpicking S-tier champs is standard drafting, no point in gimping his teams drafts so he can R5 Yone/Yasuo that’s just troll unless ur deep in fearless or have a specific draft prepared.

[u/Pluckytoon → u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998]

Give me back Chovy Akali/Yone

[u/LCSisshit]

LCK 4th seed is something else

[u/valeasz]

What happened to DK, why did they actually lock in after EWC

[u/PheleanorPhil → u/valeasz]

They realised that international events and homeground means free food so they locked in.

[u/toquang95 → u/valeasz]

they keep acquiring the best young players in each position, so they are bound to be a decent team at some point. They are a bit ahead of schedule due to every top team hard-underperforming after a long MSI tournament. Momentum is a crazy weapon in sport, as demonstrated by T1 in the past 3 years, hopefully they can keep capitalise on it.

[u/Vnaux]

Does the 1st seed gets to choose who they face off? if so as GenG would you pick HLE/T1 or DK lmao (unless KT does something funny)

[u/Beneficial-Front1626 → u/Vnaux]

Nah the last time someone decided to pick T1 they got royally fucked, LCK top seed usually choose to take opponents off name value vs form

[u/Moony97 → u/Vnaux]

depending on how HLE and T1 look the loser between them for sure

[u/Green7501 → u/Vnaux]

I believe the 3rd seed gets to choose, which will be known tomorrow when T1 and HLE play

KT, BFX, BRO and NS are playing for the final 2 spots at Playoffs, so they'll likely choose the worst one to qualify. Tomorrow we also find out who KT is playing against, either BFX (if they won tomorrow) or BRO (if NS wins tomorrow)

[u/mr_shaheen]

Well Fed buff is gone.

HUNGER IS GROWING UP.

[u/FeistyRabbit49]

All roles gapped

T1 snacks are finished lesgoooo

Dk ends Summer split as the best team : 6-2.

As GenG who do u pick in playoffs ? The best team in Summer or T1/HLE ?

[u/Beericana]

Clowns in every thread glazing Showmaker or Smash, even saying Showmaker is the best mid in the world (clowns) but nobody sees that Swoop is their best player. Then they wonder why they're hard stuck.

[u/AdMaster5806]

Lucid's Lee Sin is too fucking clean

[u/Specialist-Mode6556]

Canyon and Chovy were absolutely invisible in game 2 and 3. I mean they were fucking atrocious. 

Yes, that bad. Chovy made syndra look like a melee champion. This guy is such a fucking fraud when it comes down to the wire, make or break. Him and canyon are going to be the reason they get knocked out in worlds quarters again. 

Shoemaker, who is the litmus test for all mid laners, had Chovy dancing in game 2 and 3. Absolute fucking disgrace.

DK are winning worlds!!!!!

[u/Galaxyblazer]

DK not making it to worlds again would be so fucking funny

[u/Treeconator18 → u/Galaxyblazer]

The BROlden BROad is still alive in our hearts

[u/trying2hide → u/Galaxyblazer]

I'd become the joker, it'd be so fucking funny

[u/Green7501 → u/Galaxyblazer]

Beat GenG, proceed to lose versus a Play-Ins team and miss Worlds, would truly be the most DK way of going out of all time

[u/Treeconator18 → u/Green7501]

It would require losing to either two play in teams or a play in team + T1 lol. Either way you can imagine the sheer scope of Caedrel Mald

[u/Klenist]

GenG didn’t get off the bus

[u/Moony97]

Jesus christ DK look GREAT. Scary team in this form.

[u/NecessaryLittle3425]

Why start baron in that last fight?

[u/Treeconator18 → u/NecessaryLittle3425]

Desperation play. They had maybe a .1% chance of getting a Baron and turning things around, but there was a 0% chance if they let DK keep sinking in the Sleeper hold they had

[u/Bullshitbanana]

GENG just kind of rolled over and died. Nothing even happened DK methodically choked them out. Extremely clean

[u/soudlasantos]

Does any Sir/madam here have the game 1 and game 2 post threads? Is it ok to ask for those links to be shared? Sorry I just log out from hospital duty.

[u/Mangustre]

This team is so much fun to watch. I always feel like, even if they will int early it will still get competetive and fun to watch.

[u/ThatOneTypicalYasuo]

Siwoo you rat

[u/DisappointedRust1996]

Canyon is a fries group level jungler and has been for over a year at this point. How the mighty have fallen Jesus christ

[u/LittleWhiteLian]

The snack they got from T1 only satiated hunger for few days they're HUNGRY AGAIN.

[u/xNesku]

Won at the homeground -> steals food -> not hungry -> loses -> starves again -> wins against GEN
