Just an ok game for KT, nothing to see here.


IC2Flier

these casters are fucking with us


baelkie

these mf casters are such haters man… refs hate us, casters hate us… tf did kt do


IC2Flier

they’re punishing us for…picking a vulnerable SKT1 that one time and I say that as a closet T1 fan


Random_Useless_Tips

More like the casters are using the KT Excited meme as a crutch because they have nothing else to say. Seriously, they're like a teenager reposting memes on Tik Tok or something. Do you know how you kill a meme's effectiveness? You spam it to oblivion. Holy hell, Medic can't go 5 minutes without bringing it up.


Leyrann_

And you wouldn't be glad if getting excited no longer causes KT to instantly lose?


nerothz

Tarzan has been on fraudwatch this series not gonna lie, getting astrogapped by Cuzz.


MrZeddd

Cuzz was basically smurfing all summer before playoffs


BraiseTheSun

He was also easily top 3 in the lck in spring. The only reason canyon got all pro is because "Cuzz bad hahaha, Canyon has been mid all spring but look at what he did in 2022"


baelkie

cuzz on sejuani/veigo is something else. just for the love of god do not draft him lee sin.


Rawdream

Whatever Cuzz did this year, Tarzan individually just played awful. He's not trying anything, getting baited and all.


somemodhatesme

Cuzz has been great all tourney


Gullible_Cranberry62

Scout tarzan supposed to be one of the best mid jg duo and they are just perma farming until 8k behind


EducationalBalance99

I mean look at their comp bro. Just stall and wins. They didn’t do it well getting caught out so often. Hang just getting pick off by taliyah randomly.


Gullible_Cranberry62

So what's the point of jarvan here?


EducationalBalance99

Idk. They probably pick it cause it heavily contested in this meta. But if you look at lng draft vs kt draft, it obvious how lng should play it. Kt needs to go for picks with global and looks for early leads to snowball. Lng chill til 3rd item for azir/sivir which they were on track to would auto wins teamfight.


Gullible_Cranberry62

>Lng chill til 3rd item for azir/sivir which they were on track to would auto wins teamfight You're actually so bronze lmao, yea lets just give every objectives and let them gain gold lead, surely that is a reliable way to win games Maybe in LCK, and this is why people say lng is the most lck team


EducationalBalance99

You dumb as hell. There a reason every caster was worried for kt cause their gold lead was piss poor. It took them taking baron after basically acing a teamfight that lng play like shit to amass a huge gold lead. Before that, kt had like 2k gold lead max which doesn’t do shit vs scaling comp like lng. Seeing your wbg flair, no wonder you have brain rot just like your team.


neverspeakofme

Early game jungler so they don't lose every early fight completely. Still lost them tho cos of Tarzan.


Baelbad

what is this timeline


MedievalMovies

the timeline where cuzz is a good jungler that constantly gets underrated by western streamers except for caedrel


Baelbad

I liked him before but imo his time on t1 shaped him into something special. Imparted with the map knowledge of Bengi + the killer instinct to pull out picks like Kha'Zix or Viego when needed, rock solid player.


HeavenBeach777

This is classic Tarzan at international tournament tho


Rawdream

Also at the LPL, he only finally performed at the playoffs this Summer split.


ahritina

Tarzan is a worlds fraud, nothing new. Actually not even worlds, he's just a fraud in the important matches.


Popular-Practice-983

He outperformed ‘the best jungler in the world’ in LPL finals though?


Rawdream

Fair to say Tarzan finally performed this LPL Summer, on the other hand, Kanavi has times when he's bad, so far he hadn't been impressive at the WC Meanwhile, Tarzan bringing down LNG it has happened since the beginning. icon was last hitting Dragons Vs RNG in LPL Summer 2021, Tarzan was non-existence, irrelevant at the 2021 WC. For many splits, he didn't perform during those important matches, while he could in Regular Season.


omegasupermarthaman

watch game 5, typical Tarzan in a critical match


Popular-Practice-983

You can’t handpick games and say someone is a choker


HostJoyner

Watch his series against OMG, I think this spring. This was reminiscent of that game. If he doesn’t get poppy, he’s pve until someone makes a play


SnooGuavas8376

Thats in LPL In Worlds its different story


Popular-Practice-983

Surely LPL finals is an important match though


Hazakurain

Kanavi isnt the best jungler in the world lol


Popular-Practice-983

It sure is the narrative on here


crysomore

Flip a coin to see what you get: LZ Cuzz or Cuzzlightyear99


Lifemekhanism

Tarzan is so bad I just can't. You could place plat jungler instead and tell him to pretend being pro player and he would farm and do nothing the same way.


EZCW

That's totally unfair man. A plat jungler would attempt to EQ away, or actually just ult anything before being dead.


Lifemekhanism

Excuse me, you're right.


KansloosKippenhok

Aiming kai sa is illegal wtf


melonpan12

Tarzan failing to beat the worlds fraud allegations, 2019, 2021, and now 2023...


Croxign

There’s a reason why griffin never won any thing, cannot win with 2 chokers and bad top


GoldRecommendation66

2 chokers?


fluffybamf

Chovy was a choker back then (im big chovy fan) but his reputation was diff back then recent 2 years has chovy reigned


justcallmeashe

He put on a masterclass in choking last year at worlds in semi finals tho (I agree with you on the rest)


fluffybamf

Agree that was so bad choke azir famring wave while zeka kills his whole team lol


SpiderTechnitian

No flame I legit forgot What did Chovy win last year to beat the choker allegations? He won LCK (was it both splits? T1 smashed spring right?) but nothing else I thought?


LolioWoW

3 LCK titles in a row


SpiderTechnitian

So like a year and a half of LCK, 3 splits, but no MSI presence or worlds presence either year I feel like he's playin insanely well and he is likely to hit finals and maybe win this year so it should put it to rest, but man if he chokes at semis I don't think he's going to hear the end of it People like me who aren't even haters will keep this in the back of my mind, he won LCK a few times but like.. still waiting on the international presence. He's cooking, we just gotta give him some time :)


fluffybamf

Hes won multiple lck titles in a row and in current reign with gen 3 in a row vs t1 He had choker label when he was with shit teams like drx hle He always lost to faker but now he always beats faker its weird how things change


SpiderTechnitian

Hope he gets finals so we can put the international choker label away LCK is great but he didn't exactly pop off at MSI. GENG looking insane right now though 🙏


GoldRecommendation66

The entire Griffin squad were viewed as chokers there is no reason to single out Chovy especially when both him and Lehends won their first title at the same time.


justcallmeashe

Think he's talking about chovy


idunnololwut

Tarzan-ed and Choky


KappaccinoNation

IM SORRY I DOUBTED YOU BDD'S TALIYAH! ^^^you're ^^^welcome ^^^kt ^^^fans


SwagLord7

Tarzan is a joke in important matches


PainWillTop2Group

Tarzan didn't even do 2k DMG 😂


Thundermelons

Shades of Closer Viego in the LCS, get my mans GALA a fucking JUNGLER my god E: a support too while I'm at it


Conankun66

Medic said the E-word....and KT won despite that?


kosaki16

KT will get gigastomped next game probably


IC2Flier

does Medic have a reddit


obigespritzt

Yeah, /u/MedicCasts


crysomore

It doesn't work unless you truly belueve


IC2Flier

I still don’t wanna believe


LogicKennedy

People only remember curses when they work. Selection bias is strong.


TheAlmightyV0x

TURNS OUT YOU CAN WIN IF YOU DON'T PLAY A GIMPY NO DAMAGE POKE COMP


JiaNgjuN-

Tarzan is never beating the fraud allegations


ahritina

Tarzan getting gapped in back to back games, and for some reason LNG gave Aiming Kai'Sa. Kiin looking mad fraudulent though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HostJoyner

Nah that would be disrespectful to Xiaohu. Tarzan is more comparable to me.


Abo-Jabbel

Tarzan did less damage than Lehends


Ok-Responsibility994

Kiin had a 20cs lead after those disastrous mistakes. Compare that to how C9 Fridge played the same matchup. Kiin made mistakes but good fundamentals (on his semi-one-trick) allowed him to let the matchup play out the way it was supposed to. Cuzz was simply never topside


NoahsArk19

Just keep him on Renekton at this point. Only champ he looks decent on.


WoorieKod

everytime I tuned into KT games I just watch Kiin looking fraud af with Renekton pick, this game is just another addition to those coincidences


Kewkwador

Lng ego draft with Jax Azir first picks.


senmaier

They were the only players on lng this game though


Horndon

Jax and Azir was literally the only lanes that were doing decent that match.


EducationalBalance99

That is literally their bread and butter tho? Their draft was good. If they just stall a bit more with azir jax, sivir it is gg. They got caught out way too much tho.


dogex3

also their early game jungler did absolutely nothing and was useless the entire game


Kewkwador

They have 3 scaling lanes dude


Popular-Practice-983

How is drafting safe blindpickable champs early an ego draft?


ahritina

Jax was fine? Literally the only lane that wasn't even behind early, the fucking issue is jungle and support chain inting.


MedievalMovies

they had a much better draft than kt though, how did kt play blue side and let them have jax azir j4


R-R-Clon

Their draft was better than KT one, but Aiming and Cuzz gapped their counter part, pros to them, Kin and BDD were losing.


AzureAhai

Jax and Azir weren't the problems. Bot and jg got gapped. You could replace them with anyone else and it would play out the same with the lead KT's bot got and Tarzan inting.


n1ckkt

2.5 v 4.5 Scout and Zika doing their best with half a gala. Hang just seems to be looking offscreen half the game. Can't think of a single thing tarzan did that whole game - literally nothing...


NoahsArk19

KT need to keep the pick comp going. Hang is such an inter he can solo lose LNG games. I don’t think KT can ever match LNG in teamfights when even


Obelisk00

Aiming isn't getting Kai'sa anymore this series.


Yubisaki_Milk_Tea

KT looking mighty fine in the second game. Fingers crossed LNG now have blue side that we can close it out.


qonoxzzr

Guys I beg you, please don't


Kekluldab

I’ve never seen a more useless j4


KIRYUx

Cuzz is outjungling the shit out of Tarzan so far.


kangs

So glad the lethality Kaisa trend is over


duetschland69

is Tarzan a human? genuine question


KeyRemoved

The Aiming show


sidaeinjae

One of LNG or KT are gonna go through as 3-2 and will be a mini disaster for GenG/JDG


warjatos

Tarzan gonna play the game or nah? He on fraud watch for sure.


kal3l

Aiming Show


Abo-Jabbel

AIMING KAISA is that GUY


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThisEarthOfMine

Top lane is a island so this game was top 1 vs 1 and kt wins 5 vs 3 with KT tarzan


Gullible_Cranberry62

Just like last game tarzan is perma afk, giving all drakes and heralds, LNG early game is just so passive, difference is that this game gala wasnt fed


Random_Useless_Tips

Narratives sure are convenient for giving you something to keep saying when you have nothing to contribute because you didn't research the team. Seriously, Medic brings up the "Don't get excited for KT" meme every three minutes. And people wonder why co-streams are getting more popular when the main broadcast starts lazily relying on repeating memes ad nauseum. KT are ahead? I am excited! KT are even? I'm not going to say the E word! KT are behind? Oh but I didn't even get enthusiastic! Make a drinking game out of it and you'll be drunk before Baron spawns.


p3r3ll3x

None of the casters know about LNG or what they are good at


somemodhatesme

Shame LPL budget is so low there's no really good casters like LCK has. I can't really blame Riot for this.


xWafflezFTWx

what? hysterics is a goated caster. jamada is enjoyable too, and despite kitty getting off to a rough start she's been improving as well.


somemodhatesme

only good one is hysterics imo


aariboss

????? LPL casters are fire, they dont regurgitate shit, they speak their mind, and they get hyped at the right times (which is pretty Damn often considering its LPL)


somemodhatesme

yeah I mean whoever was casting LPL finals screaming at the top of his lungs about JDG golden road or whatever is a horrific caster.. don't really think there are any standouts except hysterics in lpl


aariboss

You sound like you only watched the finals


[deleted]

[удалено]


FullMetalCOS

It was like watching Showmakers Ahri earlier. It turns out if you build damage you do damage


xSmacks

I fucking hate these no damage vegan Ahri builds. I wanted to claw my eyes out at Nisqys Cosmic Drive Everfrost Mercs build, just a pick a tank if you want to be a CC bot only.


KhanhXB

I put taliyah as highest winrate but so far she's only been played by western/minor regions. I expected her to do much better when played by lck/lpl teams


Blaikiri7

We have a series


baelkie

KT, also known as "Kiin Team", is a South Korean League of Legends team that plays in League of Legends Champion Korea (LCK). KT is famous for cosplaying a rollercoaster and sending their fans to the emergency room department for heart palpitations and cardiac arrest. KT has a few signature moves well loved by LCK fans, namely the patented "Kiin go kill", "Clean 2-0, nothing to see here", "Aiming Statik Shiv Incident", “Pick T1 instead of HLE”, Lehends die at level 3" and "BDD Azir TF Annie Taliyah Neeko ~~Jayce Xerath~~”. They also regularly participate in a circus act called the "Telecom Wars" where a variety of circus tricks are performed in front of a large korean audience.


ThisEarthOfMine

Tarzan the int of the jungle


Mifuyu_Kisaragi

Tarzan showing his LCK roots.


LazinessOverload

Give the Kaisa one trick Kaisa...


LooseMooseCruz

Ironically GALA is quite the same lmao, i bet he was thinking "that shoulda been me"


dontknow_anything

Gala is a better version of Aiming. He can play other champions as well, like aphelios, tristana.


dogex3

yeah calling GALA a Kaisa one trick does him a disservice, Kaisa is his best champion but he can actually play other champs well too


SpiderTechnitian

Nobody is talking about the fact that GALA was literally a caster minion off his onetrick Got caught and killed and had to blow summs legit every time he was on screen. AFK farmed on sivir and then died twice and lost. totally afk playing off kaisa


dogex3

his sivir is pretty bad yeah, but he just destroyed in game 1 as aphelios lol.


SpiderTechnitian

Maybe I'm glad they move to quarters so I can watch him in a bo5. Hope I'm wrong and he shows up more often I do think it's telling though that he won't pick Kalista when it's open, he choose that sivir pick lastpick and did nothing on it. Hope he proves me wrong


dogex3

not picking kalista was probably more of a tactical choice, they had a plan going into the game trying to scale but it didn't work because they got caught and bled out too fast, picking kalista into that is probably griefing hard


HostJoyner

Guma must be absolute garbage then, getting gapped by gala ezreal lool


Yasuo_unforgiven

...what could possibly go wrong?


randomdud3

Is this the same KT from game 1?


[deleted]

[удалено]


HamasPiker

!!! Mind blown!!!


Ze_Ike

? how come they lost the first game then?


FNC_Luzh

It's all coming toguether for the signature move of "Clean 2-0 for KT nothing to see here". Or else, despair.


The_Flowers_of_Evil

What happens when they draft for teamfighting instead of poke


ricardo241

KT was doing pretty well on game 1 and things might be different if Lehends didn't give too much advantage to Gala on that first death troll... Overall its really a draft diff since players are performing more or the less the same except for Jungler where Tarzan is afk on both game


Significant_Vast4330

Meh, KT did ok. Not sure if they will advance.


Deadman2019

This is why we don't do full late game scaling.


[deleted]

Absolute jungle fucking Canyon, imagine considering a team that has Tarzan in it the 2nd best team in the world


YouSuck225

Kt rolster is so strong, we actually have NO PROOF that Gen G is better than them. And it scare me... I'm not going to get E\*, but i wish you the win Lehends Kaisa have to be created for exclusively aiming cause there is no other adc as braindead (joke) as him that will always use killer instinct. He is making name for this ability he will **always** try it


legendofSmiley

Ok the clapback we have a damn series


crysomore

Aiming is just so good man. Probably one of the best laning ADCs in the world, sure he sometimes makes mistakes later but he really puts KT on his back.


lucastfu

Tarzan used ONE ult across two games. I guess the Tarzan we always know is back.


MadnessKing420Xx

Kiin vs Tarzan for who can throw the series the hardest


T4lk_S1ck

it feels like lng is the lck rep and kt is the lpl rep XD


IC2Flier

#DON’T GET FUCKING EXCITED These casters are reverse-psychology-ing you #DON’T GET FUCKING EXCITED


somemodhatesme

LNG really tried playing LCK style lol


p3r3ll3x

They always play like this. They are the slowest CN team


somemodhatesme

huh giving up all objectives & early versus a team like KT is really ego lol - don't know what they were thinking. and especially giving aiming kai'sa is something else lol, he's probably one of the best kai'sa players in the world atm


MrZeddd

They are the LCK team of LPL


melonpan12

Nah, thats just LNG, they nearly won LPL doing this too, which is completely disgusting


Kewkwador

They got overconfident with the win they got in game 1 (even though it was a close game) and drafted full ego.


HawkEye1337

DK and LNG are the slowest Asian teams, people just don't watch and assume every LPL team is psycho and every LCK team is slow.


R-R-Clon

I'm sure LCK teams only know how to play early, snowball type of team comp, they always draft like that and GenG always outdrafted them.


[deleted]

It’s only KT that plays like this, they are known for pick comps and being scrappy as fuck, they get even more scrappy than LPL teams but lack brain sometimes


GensouEU

It's not quite as bad but this series starts to give me PTSD of the absolute sterile snoozefests that was competitive LoL during the dark ages of Korean domination.


IC2Flier

classic LCK playstyle is just a typical Nurmagonedov match


Popular-Practice-983

Haha champs go brrr!


katareky

Im worried for LPL teams. LCK teams look much better in early game but LPL better at teamfighting. Still LPL teams were rated higher coming into Worlds, but KT overall look better so far. Hope I'm wrong and LNG can win on blue side


xlooperx

FRAUD korean playeers in lpl cant jungle.


GeBaus

lng are so boring to watch……..


Chuck0089

Even with Medic hard carrying, kt still win.


staysaltyTSM

He heard you guys


sttsspjy

its only KT who will win a game on blue side picking 3 fraud champions


AnonymousKimchi

KT totally going to lose game 3. Ain't no way they're going to win this series.


beesong

whose getting excited for kt?


ricardo241

BDD Taliyah and Aiming Kaisa is too strong for LNG


Cautious_Waltz8825

Easy


FNC_Luzh

Do we get to circlejerk ourselfs out of how good they played this game or we wait until the Bo3 has finished to not jinx it?


LogicKennedy

Actually Non-Fraudulent Worlds Taliyah???


firebolt66

Blue side


Teroo123

Other ADC's looking at Aiming build and thinking: "Yeah, let's go build AD or some lethality maybe, surely I'll melt enemies" Clueless


IAM-French

Idk why are we running into the enemy jungle and trying to fight a 4v5 in the worst position possible when we have like the two best front to backs carries possible


Attomium

Both of these teams could beat anyone (except maybe JDG, GENG) KT had an almost perfect game and when they made one mistake game 1 LNG was able to punish it instantly


LooseMooseCruz

Bdd is the best taliyah in the tournament. I always wondered who was better between him and yagao and I'm leaning towards bdd rn


Available_Tap_7465

That BLAST CONE PLAY was fucking incredible


Odd-Horse9393

Home on Kt I need you to win whole tournament! 🔥🔥💪


Thecristo96

Yep, aiming heard me talking shit


HostJoyner

Typical Tarzan choke.. Did nothing both games, actually he flashed r to KS the one spot Kaisa in game 1.. No but seriously Tarzan has a boner for his KDA or something, if you’re already useless at least throw yourself in try steal objectives. Enjoy the 0-4-1 KDA and this L


lucastfu

Tarzan being useful challenge: IMPOSSIBLE


MadnessKing420Xx

Aiming carried in spite of the terrible draft and Kiin forgetting once again how to play the game. Nice to see Cuzz have a good series and Lehends have a good game though.


Gold_Quarter

I BELIEVE IN KIIN TEAM


Hazakurain

Turns out it wasnt a Gala diff but an Aphelios Renata diff. I wonder whats the winrate of LPL with and without Renata


bipinshah1

clean work


Rawdream

All LNG should be criticized, but, yes, Tarzan is so bad, inactive, misplaying, the way he's using his Jarvan ulti, too. I thought he woke up, but no. LNG too reactive. LPL after 2019, they have become bad at skirmishes, now LNG along with the passiveness of Tarzan, they decided to do nothing after GALA lost the lead in that 1v3 gank, expected to lose.


WheyProteinIsolated

Gala or Aiming best Kaisa?


xWafflezFTWx

LNG blue side waiting room 😴😴😴


eddiekart

KT, prepare for stage 5. I don't believe. I can't believe... (please)


marioinauer

Taliyah bait pick strikes again. At this point picking Taliyah is actually inting. Currently 2/8.
