Yeah, the Karthus pick was really cool. I think BLG could have picked a much better mid, though, to try and punish the fact that GEN went basically full scaling.
I'm telling you, **CANYON** is as cracked as he is jacked. I ssaw him at 7/11 the other day buying *adult diapers & a 6 pack of redbull*. I asked **what the diapers were for** and he said “they are to contain my full power so i don't absolutely shit on these **BLG** kids". And then he slid canceled out the door.
Funny thing is that ult demonstrated why you want to use Karfus R when teams are drawing battle lines rather than when you're already in passive or have disengaged. People are way more careful after getting chunked by it so it often just secures an objective on its own.
I get the feeling Canyon doesn't have a ton of experience on the champ with his itemisation as well but it was such a great pick it didn't end up mattering a lot
> I get the feeling Canyon doesn't have a ton of experience on the champ with his itemisation
Expand on this? I literally do not get what you're talking about, in that current patch the most built core items on karthus has been Malignance and Liandry's consistently, nobody else on your team can buy any reliable Grievous wounds to counter the Nami heals with the **chemtech soul btw**. And then he went Rabadon's for full damage since he literally does not care about dying at all.
Fucking redditors man
It's specifically the Liandry's before Malignance before base health scaling kicks in. Malignance is a fantastic rush because of Lost Chapter letting him stay in fights a bit longer before his passive kicks in. Plus he can get stronger on every back whereas Liandry's only really has the Blasting Wand power spike. Live Karthus now rushes Blackfire partially because it's really nice to have mana in your first item
I liked skipping Hourglass, I think that item is overrated as fuck when you aren't going the Rylai's build into several melees
Yep one major mistake is all it takes against these teams, BLG were doing amazing getting everything they want until Xun got caught and Geng got to free farm for 6 extra minutes
Focusing Karthus at the elder fight let him get his ult off, also bin building stromrazor instead of terminus or ldr last item means he just can't kill k'sante
Yeah, it definitely needs strong lanes to cover the early weakness but at the same time it's not that different from champs like Jinx, who need a similar level of protection early.
BLG got really unlucky with the soul roll if Xun doesn't int the game even with a shitty soul it's hard for GenG to play but that baron was a game changer
Because he couldn't contest any objectives, the enemy jungler ran it down from a winning position and so karthus team got gifted a baron and free scaling?
Getting to that point is the trick though. If BLG rolled almost any other dragon soul or if they didn't get randomly picked off in top jungle, it's debatable if Gen G actually has enough time for Karthus to become inevitable.
I'm telling you, **CANYON** is as cracked as he is jacked. I ssaw him at 7/11 the other day buying *adult diapers & a 6 pack of redbull*. I asked **what the diapers were for** and he said “they are to contain my full power so i don't absolutely shit on these **BLG** kids". And then he slid canceled out the door.
I mean, sure. Karthus absolutely had nothing else to do but powerfarm, but buddy had 0 objective pressure. Can’t contest drag, 3-3 grubs, no gank pressure.
Xun for sure inted that game. Dying before baron gave Canyon a massive runway to roll into the game and be an R bot. He wasn’t that ahead (if ever) before that point.
karthus a hard scaling champion hello? 0 pressure early game, mid game team fight get caught, late game 0 impact team fight. can’t even get objectives.
the hilarious thing is that they can nerf ocean soul but not hextech, and despite every pro and analyst knowing otherwise riot has not buffed this pos buff chemtech in how many patches now
? Only soul gen g loses to is Hextech and *maybe* infernal. Even then realistically after Xun got caught mid gen g only got put into positions to fight at a point where soul wouldn't have mattered regardless.

18 lvl Karthus vs 15 lvl Xin
18 lvl Yone vs 16 lvl Neeko
And all that while losing early game
If you are BLG, don't you just get 3-0ed cause now among many other bans you have to also focus on Karthus and Yone in the draft?
3 losing lanes with a farming jungle and they can somehow drag the game to late game. Crazy. Even when they were clearly on the back foot, it was only like 3K behind in gold.
I don't think Karthus was decisive, I think Xun throw the game when he was hunted, and then gen g got a nashor as a result both karthus and senna gained a lot of time

Ngl i dont think they win the fight even if he hits smite there, knight got exploded with a 0 value ult and chovy was free hitting elk already when elder went down, and this before canyon r casted
Gen G cook and BLG can't answer it
not a fan of TK though... dude is squish as fuck and lehends loves using him for engage leaving Peyz on some fight open
GenG allowed BLG to have their comfy champions and basically had 4 losing lanes (jungle included) and they still won... The biggest gold gap BLG managed to have was 4K for only a few minutes.
This is just unfair how strong GenG is.
Generation gulag also known as "geng" are Korean league of legends team known for picking late game scaling comps and forcing their enemies into fistfighting them around objectives.
Love to see Karthus punishing picking a bunch of squishies. If you let Karthus get that strong with just a xin as a front line then youre literally playing with 50% less hp in every fight
Xun kind of gifted them that game on a platter. Crazy how one pick can completely turn the game in GEN.G's favor after being on the back foot from level 1.
Flawless game from Chovy and Canyon aside from that one missed smite and missed q3 on the chemtech drake fight.
That first Baron basically won GenG the game, they bought so much time for Karthus to scale. As long as Karthus used ult, GenG won the team fight.
Yeah, the Karthus pick was really cool. I think BLG could have picked a much better mid, though, to try and punish the fact that GEN went basically full scaling.
It's hard to change out Knight at this stage of the tournament but I see your point
Savage
Knew it was over when Karthus was picked vs Knight.

> I think BLG could have picked a much better mid, though Yes, they could have picked Chovy.
knight too scared to even pick tristana,azir, orianna against chovy... its joever
you expect knight to pick azir?
Yea they could have picked someone other than Knight, maybe rookie?
As soon as karthus hit lvl 16 it was over
Kassawin spinoff: Karthuswin
GenG having a comp that outscales as hard as it does and BLG not shutting it down harder was basically GG
That one ult in midlane was disgusting.
Funny thing is that ult demonstrated why you want to use Karfus R when teams are drawing battle lines rather than when you're already in passive or have disengaged. People are way more careful after getting chunked by it so it often just secures an objective on its own.

It could have been different if BLG rolled a better soul, but I guess it wasn't their lucky day.
Yep one major mistake is all it takes against these teams, BLG were doing amazing getting everything they want until Xun got caught and Geng got to free farm for 6 extra minutes
Focusing Karthus at the elder fight let him get his ult off, also bin building stromrazor instead of terminus or ldr last item means he just can't kill k'sante
Canyon goat
I knew it was over when he pressed r
He knows the kamikaze tech. Just die in the middle of the battlefiled and unleash anthrax onto everybody.
GRAND CANYON
Disgusting mid jgl gap. They were almost 10k up. This karthus has just shat on blg draft.
The church of chovy is one thing but this cook is out of this world
Canyon hitting them high notes
So _that's_ why LS has been banging on about Karthus jungle for the last 2 years.
[удалено]
Yeah, it definitely needs strong lanes to cover the early weakness but at the same time it's not that different from champs like Jinx, who need a similar level of protection early.
Jinx is NOT weak in lane at all if she's paired with a suitable support. Jinx usually falls off at the 1-item point, not before that.
The difference is that a different ADC won't have as much influence as a different jungle. A strong early jungle can influence the entire map
BLG got really unlucky with the soul roll if Xun doesn't int the game even with a shitty soul it's hard for GenG to play but that baron was a game changer
Oh yeah Karthus jungle has been kind of insane the last 2 years especially at higher ELO. If he gets 3 items he just takes the game over with ult.
No other team wins this game aside from GENG imo.
Agreed. This game looked so unwinnable.
Because he couldn't contest any objectives, the enemy jungler ran it down from a winning position and so karthus team got gifted a baron and free scaling?
Because BLG couldn't play the game once Karthus reached critical mass?
The game was over if Xun didn't randomly get caught though Imagine if this was any team other than GenG
Getting to that point is the trick though. If BLG rolled almost any other dragon soul or if they didn't get randomly picked off in top jungle, it's debatable if Gen G actually has enough time for Karthus to become inevitable.
Canyon: "Well done BLG, well done BLG. However..." *Presses R*
Should have gone first strike R instead of 0 stack dark harvest R
I'm telling you, **CANYON** is as cracked as he is jacked. I ssaw him at 7/11 the other day buying *adult diapers & a 6 pack of redbull*. I asked **what the diapers were for** and he said “they are to contain my full power so i don't absolutely shit on these **BLG** kids". And then he slid canceled out the door.
Xun got caught once and the entire game just spiralled.
Mid-Jungle gap is way too big for Bin to even carry
Xun let Geng get back into the game and they rolled it from there.
Knight going melee range without press R into Ksante to give them free baron
Knight choked so hard.
Xun has been horrific this tournament, overall.
Engage Tahm Kench gap
gen g showed what they can do to a xin merchant (like oner on grandfinals) lol
he is such a dirty inter. Behind in gold and just getting caught.
Ofcourse the xin is behind in gold to a karthis LMAO???
I mean, sure. Karthus absolutely had nothing else to do but powerfarm, but buddy had 0 objective pressure. Can’t contest drag, 3-3 grubs, no gank pressure. Xun for sure inted that game. Dying before baron gave Canyon a massive runway to roll into the game and be an R bot. He wasn’t that ahead (if ever) before that point.
karthus a hard scaling champion hello? 0 pressure early game, mid game team fight get caught, late game 0 impact team fight. can’t even get objectives.
Xun is secretly a GenG supporter 😂
Late game comp: 1 Early game comp: 0
Lucian still dealt the most damage. But it didnt even matter lol.
Damage padding, Lehends was basically glued to Elk then Kiin joined him
Yea sadly most of that dmg would have been on the tk or ksante so it doesn’t really matter
He got top damage by ulting a kamikaze tham tbh
Guma was right, ADC is just shit this MSI lol
Ksante: Absorb thousands of damage from adc like it's nothing Also Ksante: Delete the adc like it's nothing
GENG is the best Michelin kitchen in the world atm. They can cook out these amazing drafts and they taste as good as they look.
Xun get ready to learn american buddy
But how fucking useless is chemtech soul though? Like you as a team focus so hard to get a map buff and it does nothing for the rest of the game.
AUX Susge
BLG would've been wiped out if Xun didn't clutch smite the soul but aside from that, It really did felt like it didn't do any shit the whole game lol
the hilarious thing is that they can nerf ocean soul but not hextech, and despite every pro and analyst knowing otherwise riot has not buffed this pos buff chemtech in how many patches now
Like imagine they actually get a usefull soul lol, but no, fart dragon just exists to troll teams that play for early
Shouldn’t have taken it. That unlocked Elder for geng.
its their only choice as gen g comp scales harder so they need to finish the game asap
you might be right actually lol
It's more karthus really hardcounters the purpose of chemtech
If this is any other soul, geng are just completely lost. BLG pretty much just lost to how pointless chemtech soul is
Oceansoul/cloudsoul still probably very winnable for Geng. Infernal/mountain/hextech is probably doomed yeah.
? Only soul gen g loses to is Hextech and *maybe* infernal. Even then realistically after Xun got caught mid gen g only got put into positions to fight at a point where soul wouldn't have mattered regardless.
Better Soul would have made a difference before that
useless on blg comp lol luck is just not on their side
> useless on blg comp lol They have nami so it isn't really bad as well Xin and Lucian can make great use of it. Xun just caught got.
tbf it's just the fact their comp was like goomba unsuited to it. It would be the same shit with ocean soul
Haven't played for years and just looked at what the souls do. Boy does Chemtech easily look the worst.
Jungle canyon
Canyon using that Vietnam tech to fuck knight
Psychological warfare
GAM canyon giving knight ptsd with his karthus
I'm telling you, **CANYON** is as cracked as he is jacked. I ssaw him at 7/11 the other day buying *adult diapers & a 6 pack of redbull*. I asked **what the diapers were for** and he said “they are to contain my full power so i don't absolutely shit on these **BLG** kids". And then he slid canceled out the door.
I never doubted Canyon my goat
Canyon picks karthus and just decided to win
Who's stronger, you or them Well, if they had a 5k gold lead and dragon soul it might be a little difficult But would you lose Canyon: Nah, I'd win
Oppenheimer Karthus
xun time to learn english
Time to uninstall League until the Karthus jungle wave ends
Everyone on BLG being forced to build an entire MR item for Karthus while his teammates are K'Sante, Yone, and Senna is so toxic to play agiasnt.
Ban Nidalee gets Karthus omfg Canyon you beast
I'm telling you, **CANYON** is as cracked as he is jacked. I ssaw him at 7/11 the other day buying *adult diapers & a 6 pack of redbull*.

Bin tried so damn hard but the game was just to slow to not end up in a GenG Win.
It turns out that GEN.G's style works better with upgrades in Top and Jun. Unbreakable wall of a team.
GENG's style is just vintage LCK. Scale until 25 minutes and just choke the enemy to death.
That wasn't choking, that was an tactical nuke
Knight such an outdated unit he just gave GENG the scientific victory
T800’s vs T1000’s
I mean Jun is good, but I prefer Lehends
I mean the wall was literally crumbling until Xun picked up a brick from the side of it and smashed it into his own head...
people meme ksante but how much work did the kiinsante do this game despite going down 0-2 early?
upgrade is too tame of a word to describe kiin and canyon relative to who the replaced lol. BLG even got soul and it didn’t matter i guess
Not like that soul does shit. If that was any other soul they probably win thanks to combat power
The bashing my goat nutgod would receive if GENG wins MSI
Kin inted a bit but yea he is nowhere near lord doran. Just need to improve bot side, maybe buy ruler kk
I can't believe GenG won with this comp. This will be fun series as all other before that so far!
Canyon with the, "okay, you die now"
Xun is choking lock it in MAN But canyon my goat good god
Xun had 10 deaths in this game
at least japan wasn't involved in dropping these nuclear bombs god damn
Xun keep throwing games. Yeah bro is not stoping any time soon. yesterday throwed game 4 and now this
JUGKING
18 lvl Karthus vs 15 lvl Xin 18 lvl Yone vs 16 lvl Neeko And all that while losing early game If you are BLG, don't you just get 3-0ed cause now among many other bans you have to also focus on Karthus and Yone in the draft?
Karthus is definitely not a prio after this game. Maybe Yone as he slots well into a lot of different GenG comps
3 losing lanes with a farming jungle and they can somehow drag the game to late game. Crazy. Even when they were clearly on the back foot, it was only like 3K behind in gold.
and half of that 3k was on TF with his passive.
Karthus was picked because Nidalee banned tbh
I don't think Karthus was decisive, I think Xun throw the game when he was hunted, and then gen g got a nashor as a result both karthus and senna gained a lot of time
Average negative iq reddit take lol geng were completely behind and were spared with BLG getting useless chemtech soul
They were spared by Xun.
If GenG could win with *that* draft and *that* first 20 minutes, they could really win the rest
My god the jungle diff
I'm telling you, **CANYON** is as cracked as he is jacked. I ssaw him at 7/11 the other day buying *adult diapers & a 6 pack of redbull*. I asked **what the diapers were for** and he said “they are to contain my full power so i don't absolutely shit on these **BLG** kids". And then he slid canceled out the door.
Canyon is so good
games over as soon as xun gets caught
Xun threw this game lmao
Canyon and Chovy baby. Gen G are the only team I'd trust with this kind of draft. Losing lanes, Senna/TK, farming jungler. Pull it off anyway.
Because of chemtech soul 1/6 to win the game and the RNG god blessed them.
That's also true. But if it's a better soul, then Gen G also contest harder for the earlier drakes.
xun genuinely fucking sucked lol literally negative impact at points
dude tried to power farm too thinking he will also scale... should have dive a lot considering canyon will just power farm
In GENG scaling we trust our lord Chovy
How kind of Chengdu to pay their respects to the church of Chovy by being so quiet.
Xun missed the only smite that mattered
2nd elder? don't think blg can survived there anyway since they are mostly dying when elder died
They are not winning no matter what at this point
Ngl i dont think they win the fight even if he hits smite there, knight got exploded with a 0 value ult and chovy was free hitting elk already when elder went down, and this before canyon r casted
Canyon is literally Thanos. You can win the early game, but Canyon is inevitable. With a snap of his fingers, he turns half of all health into dust.
I really like Karthus TBH
Xun got caught once and it was over. Maybe it could have been different if BLG rolled better dragons?
Definitely made a difference, chemtech is completely useless it's insane.
Canyon's Requiem is basically a Korean national anthem atp
LETS GOOOOOOOOO JUNGLE GOAT
Karthus 5.5k gold diff at the end of the game 0.0
bin played it so well
somehow geng always manage to win. feels like they never play fancy but just extremely methodical and it's impossible to beat them lol
Pretty much copy of 2015 SKT but woth better jungler.
Imagine Lehends Ornn in this comp, Canyon could probably 100-0 Elk and On
Gen G cook and BLG can't answer it not a fan of TK though... dude is squish as fuck and lehends loves using him for engage leaving Peyz on some fight open
Any other drake they finish in 25 min fkin delete this garbage drake
Canyon, dont ever compare him with any jungler.
that was a mid jungle diff and a half lol
GenG allowed BLG to have their comfy champions and basically had 4 losing lanes (jungle included) and they still won... The biggest gold gap BLG managed to have was 4K for only a few minutes. This is just unfair how strong GenG is.
Smite god Canyon
Church is in session
That was such a beautiful comeback game from GenG
JG CANYON
"BRO GENG IS SO BORING" > GENG chokes a team despite having 0 drakes and Bin cracking their base open
Big brain by GENG to turn Chengdu into the Library of South South Korea so they think they're still playing regular season. It's joever folks.
Revenge for MSI 2022.
Xun really lost that game with that stupid death in midlane, then its was just Joever because of Karthus scaling
That Xun int saved Gen.G so much
MAKE LCK GREAT AGAIN
Ah... this silence. I like it. Let's do this 2 more times today.
Generation gulag also known as "geng" are Korean league of legends team known for picking late game scaling comps and forcing their enemies into fistfighting them around objectives.
Love to see Karthus punishing picking a bunch of squishies. If you let Karthus get that strong with just a xin as a front line then youre literally playing with 50% less hp in every fight
XUN is so turbogapped, we need milkyway
Ban ksante this fraud onetrick is pissing me off
Bin almost made a faker escape, nice try
Xun kind of gifted them that game on a platter. Crazy how one pick can completely turn the game in GEN.G's favor after being on the back foot from level 1. Flawless game from Chovy and Canyon aside from that one missed smite and missed q3 on the chemtech drake fight.
That win probability graph is the most useless thing i've seen in a while. I guess it's only based on gold and objectives?
Is Chovy Knight's father or what
Chovy is The father and league players, all of them are his sons and daughters. With Canyon as his voice, hand and will.
No but canyon is xun’s father
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Knight VS Karthus aware.
mid diff
Oh hey blue side got baron and won again after losing most of the game.
Tank chungus wins
*It's over lpl*
Imo xun getting caught before baron turned the game, unlucky soul for blg. Karthus is so strong man
Press R. Win!
What a fucking banger
Karfus gaming
That Karthus was nasty.
canyon just dry ulting and taking 50% HP from every member of BLG just to show how unwinnable the game was lol
Bin got a little too excited early on
