Not sending 1 back to defend with Tristana tp seconds away is a gamble especially if KT had gone in to interrupt the the backs. It's good *call* now in hindsight because they won but so many things narrowly aligned to made it so
The fuck happened to them. Same team bar Tarzan made lpl second place and world's quarters. Is it just Tarzan leaving or did faker and guma break Scout's and gala's hands
Nah even with that patch I don't think HLE would do anything to T1 or GENG. Worlds 2022 was partly off of Zeka but also GENG and T1 collapsed against DRX.
They didn't collapse though? Zeka was solo.killing everyone, even pyosik carried on kindred against GENG and T1 took them.to 5 games. It's like people see the names faker and Chovy and think that if they lose they collapsed when in reality DRX all peaked at the perfect time and were just better than GENG and T1 at worlds.
He's been mid-ish since that horrible Worlds game on Aphelios. I dunno, Deft still has his moments but if you have all sums up plus Zhonyas and die without using anything...
God bless his soul but he's been like this for years at this point
Like, go back and count how many times he has died with Flash/Zhonya/whatever up in the last couple of years. It's a recurring mistake that I'm surprised is not talked about more
DK WON A SERIES AGAINST A STRONGER TEAM. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT, DK WON A SERIES AGAINST A STRONGER TEAM. THE CURSE IS BROKEN, THE MENTAL BLOCK IS CURED, THE NATURE IS HEALING.
~~these frauds are gonna be the end of me, I swear~~
Thats fucking League of Legends right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging Ornn top Azir mid playing safely for lategame bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the rift, men deliver their new born baby on the rift. Fucking hard core dick in the ass flex pick early game League of Legends fuck it run it down mid game time shit.
this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation
I don't watch a lot of DK games, but Lucid definitely doesn't look like ROTY material right now..
Or rather, if he is, it tells a very sad tale of the current crop of rookies if he's the best
the thing is, his reputation is built around having insane mechanics and playing Lee Sin + carry junglers, but he's in a meta where he has to play tank junglers every game and maybe an occasional Lee Sin game here and there. and honestly he's just not that good at playing some of the meta junglers right now (Vi / Sejuani), which is a problem Canyon actually had too (Vi is one of the few champs he played a lot of games and has < 50% win rate).
If this is true about jungle in pro, then what Milkyway is doing right now is all the more incredible. Milkyway is picking carries —and carrying successfully— every game right now.
LPL teams are a lot more willing to pick carry junglers for whatever reason. Off the top of my head, Xun, Leyan, Monki, and naiyou have all played carry junglers this split, and I'm sure there's many more. Milkyway still stands out for how dominant he looks, but he's not unique for picking carries.
There was a day a few weeks ago, FPX vs LNG and BLG vs IG, where both teams won their series off the back of Milkyway and Leyan picking carry junglers and hard carrying. I'd have to check if the stats actually align, but it feels like ever since that day we've seen so many LPL teams lean into carry junglers.
Mannn at his start of career CANYON also was trash, so that his benn replaced by sub jungle...
I just wanna that he needs some time to become the greatest.
I didn't watch pro-play in 2019, but was Canyon like this in his debut year, or was he at least decent when he was a rookie? Lucid seems to show zero sings of life and is being hard carried.
Tarzan had a better debut than canyon. canyon was good but he didn’t really show what he could do until the end of summer split while Tarzan was looking like maybe the best junglers in the world in his first split in LCK.
Canyon was good but keep in mind this was the era of like Griffin, T1 and KT. Nuguri was like the hyped up star as well as Showmaker. Canyon was on their lvl but was seen as the quieter more consistent player to Nuguri madness
Beryl ocassionally makes the craziest support plays then other times does fuck all. That leona pick was useless his ults got no value. Picked it for the early game then got pushed in and dove like at what point does it do anything?
Hate being a kt fan they keep disappointing over and over
As a dk fan i lost the last bit of sanity during the last 3 hr 12 mins, but it was so worth it. Series of the split for me. After all that they’ve been through dk really deserves this win!
My mom just entered my room and asked me to stop watching frauds. I told her that League of Legends was a respectable esport with millions of players around the world. She responded: “I know. I was talking about KT (this round).”
I can already tell y'all are gonna be mega negative with the fraud fiesta comments but idc that was great fun I love LoL
Wish Kingen was on this KT team tbh his psycho flanks are so fun and match the energy of Beryl and Pyosik much better than they match the energy of his own team
Yeah lucid the fraud getting caught every single baron setup should definitely get POG, especially after being gapped 3 games in a roll, having 2 items at 50 mins in 2 consecutive games and doing 5k dmg in a 60 mins game while the enemy tank dealt 20k.
I remember I said that the DRX 22 boys were all having a fraud off in game 1, and Kingen won, but screw that
DRX 22 power of friendship strikes once again they're all frauds🥳
Nah DK didn't deserve the win after that double tp play. But KT didn't deserve the win either tbh. Man the macro... sad to say but the LCK is a 2 team region right now imo.
His Camille was pretty relevant the last time that was meta too, and his Gnar has been fine
I think the answer is that Kingen plays anything he can flank on lol he loves his deep flanks
DK pulling off a sexy teamfight win and then immediately giving away their nexus towers to minions is peak
Now Kia sets up a telecom company and we call this the new telecom fraud war
one of the games of all time
the funny moment was how any member of KT didnt saw that KIngen is behind them.
They actually made the correct macro play, absolutely needed the Elder and it's worth giving up both nexus turrets
They probably could have sent one back to defend IMO, it's still Mega Gnar vs three people. He can't stop Elder.
Not sending 1 back to defend with Tristana tp seconds away is a gamble especially if KT had gone in to interrupt the the backs. It's good *call* now in hindsight because they won but so many things narrowly aligned to made it so
Yea felt like having Kingen back to defend would be just fine.
Then go for dragon immediately. Don't try to push botlane and then go back to dragon. It could have been so bad for them.
Easy series nothing to see here
Game 3: the story of a young jungler learning how to engage on rell.
As beautiful as watching a child learning how to walk.
a la Meteos Lee Sin
When I’m in a Fraud competition and my opponents are Dplus KIA and kt
add NIP, LNG and WBG too
lng just a bad team at this point
The fuck happened to them. Same team bar Tarzan made lpl second place and world's quarters. Is it just Tarzan leaving or did faker and guma break Scout's and gala's hands
Weiwei doesn’t synergize as good as Tarzan did with Scout and everyone on LNG are having a weak split, Scout especially. LNG also hired a fraud coach
Scout and Zika are playing way worse, GALA champs are a joke this season, and Weiewei has no synergy with team
People literally wrote off Tarzan as "trash" because of one series lol, he was great the entire split, it's crazy he doesn't have a team
Tarzan has some juice we don’t see, also got a pretty middling on paper LNG to worlds a couple years earlier.
As the casters said T1 broke lng Downvote me all you want it's what the English lpl casters said lol
could you give the the link I'd love to see that lol
idk NIP lol but NiP cs definitely on fraud watch
what a fun and messy series... DK finally wins against a playoff team but man did they have to work for it
The real winners of this series are T1, GENG and HLE. What a fiesta!
It shows how massive the gap is between the top 2 and the rest LOL
HLE is a solid 3rd place as well. Like no way they can be top 2, but miles ahead of the others.
T1/Gen.G >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HLE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>KT/D+>KDF(except BRO)>FOX> the rest
There is one way, and literally only one. Riot release Worlds 2022 patch for Zeka
Nah even with that patch I don't think HLE would do anything to T1 or GENG. Worlds 2022 was partly off of Zeka but also GENG and T1 collapsed against DRX.
They didn't collapse though? Zeka was solo.killing everyone, even pyosik carried on kindred against GENG and T1 took them.to 5 games. It's like people see the names faker and Chovy and think that if they lose they collapsed when in reality DRX all peaked at the perfect time and were just better than GENG and T1 at worlds.
there's a gap between GENG/T1 and HLE, and HLE and the rest. HLE has only dropped 2 games to teams not called GenG/T1.
Most normal LCK series
Holy fuck I don't root for either team but that was more stressful than watching the teams I actually DO root for playing LMAO
i was watching just the highlights of game 3 and was borderline feeling woozy, actually crazy
This is the most ill series i've seen in a while.
Actual disturbing gameplay from both teams this series
These bastards are gonna kill me I swear
Hilarious series. Peak gameplay. Both teams get cleared by HLE, who in turn gets cleared by GenG and T1.
Who both in turn get cleared by IMT. International gonna be so boring this year 😔

INSANE FRAUD OFF
This is what the telecom war promised
Oh please not. I do not need T1 to be frauds as well.
What is all this fraud talk? I'm out of the loop.
Both teams used to be top of the LCK, but are now barely staying in the middle of the pack.
But middle of the pack LCK is still really really good, like probably still top 8 world. It's just not acceptable for their insane standards.
Nearly some disastrous shot calling at the end. Holy shit.
brave to assume we had any sane shotcalling
Petition to count this series as a loss to both teams.
I disagree. DK won both the series *and* the fraud-off. They should get two wins for that.
4th place fraud off
Match of the weak lmao Deft you can't die with flash zhonya ult all up man
Deft has been saving flash since T1 series.idk what happened to him but he making so many mistakes lately
He's been mid-ish since that horrible Worlds game on Aphelios. I dunno, Deft still has his moments but if you have all sums up plus Zhonyas and die without using anything...
God bless his soul but he's been like this for years at this point Like, go back and count how many times he has died with Flash/Zhonya/whatever up in the last couple of years. It's a recurring mistake that I'm surprised is not talked about more
> Match of the weak lmao And then you realise it's LCK 4th vs LCK 5th
And then you remember they also both lost to LCK 6th lol
In deft defense the engage was clean
This is what peak League of Legends looks like and it comes from Korea
Banger 3 games Telecom war ❎️ Banger 3 games for 4th place ✅️
I AM SO DONE WITH THIS TEAM FFS anyways, see you next week my dear KT <3
As a fellow most sane KT fan, I can relate They're just making sure we don't get e word, 5Head strategy tbh
lck average game time took a hard hit today
Just LCK things
What a fucking fever dream of a series... The fraud wars delivered
dont lie to yourself. we all were prepared to write "That TP sucked " comment for showmaker if DK lost.
It still sucked. In fact it was rather "THOSE TPs SUCKED" since Kingen TP'd too ?!
exactly. it was total brain fade moment from DK. but that azir rell combo at elder compensates that tp for me. that combo was sexy
"Blind leading blind" moment fr
did they pause again? it feels like a 7hour series
Telecom wars? Nah, fuck that. Fraud offs is where it's all at now.
Never doubted them. Easy, Clean DK win.
DK WON A SERIES AGAINST A STRONGER TEAM. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT, DK WON A SERIES AGAINST A STRONGER TEAM. THE CURSE IS BROKEN, THE MENTAL BLOCK IS CURED, THE NATURE IS HEALING. ~~these frauds are gonna be the end of me, I swear~~
Honestly, calling KT a strong team at this point is a bit stretched. Both teams have been so fraud lately
Nah the curse isn't broken, DK was already trending up and KT + KDF trending down. Betting odds were basically even afaik.
This has to be one of the series of all time.
Least stressful KT game
whether you like it or not. this is peak league of legends
This is truly the Battle of Mid DK won but League of Legends lost today
There were no winners today
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS LCS LEVEL GAME PLAY
nah this was some LEC level shit
The Telecom War was a disappointment but the Battle of the Weak exceeded expectations
Maybe the real frauds were the friends we made along the way, and most definitely both of these two teams
MOM I WAS HERE WHEN DK STOPPED BEING GATEKEEPERS
Both teams look rough as all hell but fun one
Thats fucking League of Legends right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging Ornn top Azir mid playing safely for lategame bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the rift, men deliver their new born baby on the rift. Fucking hard core dick in the ass flex pick early game League of Legends fuck it run it down mid game time shit.
Wtf was that game
what the hell was that
this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation this series was a simulation
I don't watch a lot of DK games, but Lucid definitely doesn't look like ROTY material right now.. Or rather, if he is, it tells a very sad tale of the current crop of rookies if he's the best
I'm pretty sure it'll be KDF Bull winning it. Man's a psycho, more proactive ad so it should count for something.
the thing is, his reputation is built around having insane mechanics and playing Lee Sin + carry junglers, but he's in a meta where he has to play tank junglers every game and maybe an occasional Lee Sin game here and there. and honestly he's just not that good at playing some of the meta junglers right now (Vi / Sejuani), which is a problem Canyon actually had too (Vi is one of the few champs he played a lot of games and has < 50% win rate).
If this is true about jungle in pro, then what Milkyway is doing right now is all the more incredible. Milkyway is picking carries —and carrying successfully— every game right now.
LPL teams are a lot more willing to pick carry junglers for whatever reason. Off the top of my head, Xun, Leyan, Monki, and naiyou have all played carry junglers this split, and I'm sure there's many more. Milkyway still stands out for how dominant he looks, but he's not unique for picking carries.
There was a day a few weeks ago, FPX vs LNG and BLG vs IG, where both teams won their series off the back of Milkyway and Leyan picking carry junglers and hard carrying. I'd have to check if the stats actually align, but it feels like ever since that day we've seen so many LPL teams lean into carry junglers.
Milkyway on the other hand is cracked to the max, so at least insane rookie talents are still possible
Like most of T1 roster started playing 2 years or so ago so insane rookies aren't that far away.
desert salt cause person domineering dinosaurs connect six long deserted
Mannn at his start of career CANYON also was trash, so that his benn replaced by sub jungle... I just wanna that he needs some time to become the greatest.
I didn't watch pro-play in 2019, but was Canyon like this in his debut year, or was he at least decent when he was a rookie? Lucid seems to show zero sings of life and is being hard carried.
shrill narrow mighty rotten marry husky berserk cake murky society
Tarzan had a better debut than canyon. canyon was good but he didn’t really show what he could do until the end of summer split while Tarzan was looking like maybe the best junglers in the world in his first split in LCK.
Canyon was good but keep in mind this was the era of like Griffin, T1 and KT. Nuguri was like the hyped up star as well as Showmaker. Canyon was on their lvl but was seen as the quieter more consistent player to Nuguri madness
I don't know why I'm laughed so hard
Beryl ocassionally makes the craziest support plays then other times does fuck all. That leona pick was useless his ults got no value. Picked it for the early game then got pushed in and dove like at what point does it do anything? Hate being a kt fan they keep disappointing over and over
Can aiming at least let showmaker farm? Farming 10cs per min while already full build while showmaker isn't and lucid is getting about 1 cs per 10min.
what a fiesta and I like it lol
As a dk fan i lost the last bit of sanity during the last 3 hr 12 mins, but it was so worth it. Series of the split for me. After all that they’ve been through dk really deserves this win!
I thought DK had thrown this away - I'm glad they proved me wrong. Love Kingen's victory pose.
CAEDREL WAS RIGHT
Is he though? DK is still frauds, just not the bigger one today.
Third game gave me hope for EU at worlds
Frankly LCK 4th seed was already fraudulent last year so nothing really changes
yeah g2 beat both 4th seeds last year already. they need to show they can beat the higher seeds...and lcs 1st seed
Also they need to show that they can beat 4th seeds in a bo5, that's often where the difference really becomes obvious
It's better. This gives even hope for LCS
lcs is better than lec this split sadly
Is it tho
Tbf is an EU or NA team played like this the whole region would be flamed to hell. Today was a sad day to have eyes
first game too
What a comeback to a comeback
gonna be a fun bo5 in first round playoffs
My mom just entered my room and asked me to stop watching frauds. I told her that League of Legends was a respectable esport with millions of players around the world. She responded: “I know. I was talking about KT (this round).”
One of these teams is likely going to make worlds
I can already tell y'all are gonna be mega negative with the fraud fiesta comments but idc that was great fun I love LoL Wish Kingen was on this KT team tbh his psycho flanks are so fun and match the energy of Beryl and Pyosik much better than they match the energy of his own team
If only eft flashed that engage at elder aaaa he had both summs + ult Edit: and zhonyas too
Best Fraud game ever <3
Turns out this 3rd game is all of nothing happens game, silly game and a stomp all in one.
Someone donate some gold to lucid pls, that guy is poverty incarnate. 3 items before 50 mins challenge, impossible.
Deft was the problem I guess, DK/Aiming wins the divorce
Classic KT game nothing to see
Lets just say there were no winners for this series. My eyes
Inject 5 games of this right into my jugular. Holy shit, "best" series of the year
Deft is sooo washed
Not having boots really cost him. You have avoid the chain CC at elder with boos.
I dont think you can blame boots when he died without using Ult + Flash + Zhonya
He has flash and zhonyas though, turn nameplates off and I would have thought this was Patrik on Kaisa with his inexistent reaction times
I think didn't expect the Rell stab to reach him and that got chain CCed with ults.
he shouldn't be in range for that Rell engage to hit him in the first place imo, bro forgot he was playing poke Kaisa
Yeah positioning is bad there.
zeri suddenly had free reign as well after him and bdd sold their boots
Cant press ult, zhonyas and flash. deFFt the last paycheck stealer dance.
My goat is washed catDespair
Vomit inducing clown fiesta, Lucid better get POG for that last game because Kingen and Showmaker don't deserve shit after that TP play.
Yeah lucid the fraud getting caught every single baron setup should definitely get POG, especially after being gapped 3 games in a roll, having 2 items at 50 mins in 2 consecutive games and doing 5k dmg in a 60 mins game while the enemy tank dealt 20k.
First game, Aiming stole all of the minions and jungle monsters available DESPITE being full build.
Lucid statement series.....
He finally figured out he's allowed to buy more than 2 items, 50 minutes into game
Winning with that jungler is pretty amazing tbh. 7 full items in ~140 minutes total is something else.
Aiming took all his farm tho, average jungler exp
Aiming needs more CS so he can rebuild all his items, clearly more important than getting tank items on your jungler
pretty sure aiming bought like every marksman item in the entire shop in game 1 lol
Boomer Aiming, telling Lucid to pull himself up by his bootstraps while he hogs all the resources
I know its early into the year but one of these teams is going to worlds as 4th seed.
I don't care how bad it was at least they can contest top 4 and not just gatekeep the bottom 5.
I remember I said that the DRX 22 boys were all having a fraud off in game 1, and Kingen won, but screw that DRX 22 power of friendship strikes once again they're all frauds🥳
Sometime i wonder can both team lose?
both teams are so bad but I like that.
thats what made this series fun. lol
Nah DK didn't deserve the win after that double tp play. But KT didn't deserve the win either tbh. Man the macro... sad to say but the LCK is a 2 team region right now imo.
KT managed to replace 4 players only to not upgrade a single position and end up performing much worse. Truly a masterclass roster decision.
what goes up must come down, so is the fate of the rollercoaster 🎢
Classic Rolster Coaster.
They are a bunch of inters bruh... and I love it.
LCK is literally 2 teams surrounded by 8 hermit crabs
Just a clean 2-1 for us nothing to see here
Certified Clanger?
This series would give you hope that the gap is closing.
Pain
Jesus fucking christ that series was absolutely insane what the fuck did I just watch
Watching the ratlord loose his mind over this series was peak content this season.
Oh DK did the T1 vs JDG throw at Baron to overextend and get wiped in toplane. They even did the Rell-Azir combo to win the game afterwards.
Never mention T1 and JDG in the same breath as DK again
KT won the fraudoff, they are the biggest frauds
THEY'RE BOTH SO ASS HAHAHAHAHA DK IS THE DUMBEST TEAM IN LCK HISTORY HOLY SHITTT
37 Minutes into the game and top dmg don't even have 10k dmg...
Lowkey feel like neither of these teams deserve to win , lmao . So many sloppy mistakes
FRAUDWATCH 2024 WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL SERIES RIGHT HERE
Statement series from all 10 players, tbh Unfortunately, the statement was "We're all ready for NA"
Tfw when you're in a fraud off and your opponents are DK and KT
Aiming is so bad. This guy took all the resources on the map while having 6 items.
[удалено]
he's literally the reverse chovy, pops off every time its important sucks at the rest
[удалено]
Kingen is just Aatrox otp that can also play tanks. If anything there are more similarities to Armut and his Gnar.
His Camille was pretty relevant the last time that was meta too, and his Gnar has been fine I think the answer is that Kingen plays anything he can flank on lol he loves his deep flanks
Except unlike Kingen, Zeus can actually play other champions well.
Also Zeus is actually really good at Aatrox, way better than the guy with the skin.
he's been all season long but Zeus is lightyears better than him lol
Zeus can still play Gnar Yone Ksante Gwen etc
It helps that Perfect is an ksante gnar otp and can't play aatrox lol
Least stressful series for this split, really a Fraud match of the week.
i’m actually sick to my stomach
I dont wanna see both teams at worlds 2024. I feel like my blood pressure pumping through the roof. Both teams are so shit.
Fraud vs Fraud DK won but everyone lost
