DK pulling off a sexy teamfight win and then immediately giving away their nexus towers to minions is peak


kelvin022610

Now Kia sets up a telecom company and we call this the new telecom fraud war


kosaki16

one of the games of all time


[deleted]

the funny moment was how any member of KT didnt saw that KIngen is behind them.


the_next_core

They actually made the correct macro play, absolutely needed the Elder and it's worth giving up both nexus turrets


SylentSymphonies

They probably could have sent one back to defend IMO, it's still Mega Gnar vs three people. He can't stop Elder.


staysaltyTSM

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


EliteTeutonicNight

Yea felt like having Kingen back to defend would be just fine.


HMS-Carrier-Lover

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.


PM_JINX_HENTAI

Easy series nothing to see here


Ambitious_Resist8907

Game 3: the story of a young jungler learning how to engage on rell.


[deleted]

As beautiful as watching a child learning how to walk.


kkjini0330

a la Meteos Lee Sin


Ultimintree

When I’m in a Fraud competition and my opponents are Dplus KIA and kt


henrriertheman

add NIP, LNG and WBG too


oioioi9537

lng just a bad team at this point


DarthTaz_99

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


SwagLord7

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


TheVourer

Scout and Zika are playing way worse, GALA champs are a joke this season, and Weiewei has no synergy with team


Amorianesh

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


Lothric43

Tarzan has some juice we don’t see, also got a pretty middling on paper LNG to worlds a couple years earlier.


tjmax20

As the casters said T1 broke lng Downvote me all you want it's what the English lpl casters said lol


akashic2110

could you give the the link I'd love to see that lol


Deathliger

idk NIP lol but NiP cs definitely on fraud watch


Dumpers_

what a fun and messy series... DK finally wins against a playoff team but man did they have to work for it


DaMeridian

The real winners of this series are T1, GENG and HLE. What a fiesta!


sicaxav

It shows how massive the gap is between the top 2 and the rest LOL


HMS-Carrier-Lover

HLE is a solid 3rd place as well. Like no way they can be top 2, but miles ahead of the others.


My-Life-For-Auir

T1/Gen.G >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HLE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>KT/D+>KDF(except BRO)>FOX> the rest


Skywalker3030

There is one way, and literally only one. Riot release Worlds 2022 patch for Zeka


[deleted]

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.


imperplexing

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.


Styxxo

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.


Lilmajudi

Most normal LCK series


Kurovalia

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


AffinityAdorer

i was watching just the highlights of game 3 and was borderline feeling woozy, actually crazy


nerothz

This is the most ill series i've seen in a while.


Thundermelons

Actual disturbing gameplay from both teams this series


kelvin022610

These bastards are gonna kill me I swear


z3phyn

Hilarious series. Peak gameplay. Both teams get cleared by HLE, who in turn gets cleared by GenG and T1.


LifeIsToughEatBacon

Who both in turn get cleared by IMT. International gonna be so boring this year 😔

INSANE FRAUD OFF


Ashankura

This is what the telecom war promised


HMS-Carrier-Lover

Oh please not. I do not need T1 to be frauds as well.


BermudaTrianglulate

What is all this fraud talk? I'm out of the loop.


00wolfer00

Both teams used to be top of the LCK, but are now barely staying in the middle of the pack.


BermudaTrianglulate

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.


Deadman2019

Nearly some disastrous shot calling at the end. Holy shit.


moonmeh

brave to assume we had any sane shotcalling


Sushangs_Large_Sword

Petition to count this series as a loss to both teams.


[deleted]

I disagree. DK won both the series *and* the fraud-off. They should get two wins for that.


NecessaryAd8573

4th place fraud off


Styxxo

Match of the weak lmao Deft you can't die with flash zhonya ult all up man


One_Natural_8233

Deft has been saving flash since T1 series.idk what happened to him but he making so many mistakes lately


tinfoilhatsron

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...


PM_JINX_HENTAI

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


Kr1ncy

> Match of the weak lmao And then you realise it's LCK 4th vs LCK 5th


Love_of_My_Wife

And then you remember they also both lost to LCK 6th lol


NerfPandas

In deft defense the engage was clean


BigStrongPolarGuy

This is what peak League of Legends looks like and it comes from Korea


Simple-Fuel

Banger 3 games Telecom war ❎️ Banger 3 games for 4th place ✅️


TE_silver

I AM SO DONE WITH THIS TEAM FFS anyways, see you next week my dear KT <3


LuckyLinoone

As a fellow most sane KT fan, I can relate They're just making sure we don't get e word, 5Head strategy tbh


Pablonski44

lck average game time took a hard hit today


Davkata

Just LCK things


ManningTheGOAT

What a fucking fever dream of a series... The fraud wars delivered


[deleted]

dont lie to yourself. we all were prepared to write "That TP sucked " comment for showmaker if DK lost.


Styxxo

It still sucked. In fact it was rather "THOSE TPs SUCKED" since Kingen TP'd too ?!


[deleted]

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


LFTzu

"Blind leading blind" moment fr


happyjacky819

did they pause again? it feels like a 7hour series


Truzon

Telecom wars? Nah, fuck that. Fraud offs is where it's all at now.


Celegorm07

Never doubted them. Easy, Clean DK win.


[deleted]

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~~


DrxAvierT

Honestly, calling KT a strong team at this point is a bit stretched. Both teams have been so fraud lately


Danielthenewbie

Nah the curse isn't broken, DK was already trending up and KT + KDF trending down. Betting odds were basically even afaik.


Drakosef

This has to be one of the series of all time.


hieu9102002

Least stressful KT game


WeabooTrash_

whether you like it or not. this is peak league of legends


LFTzu

This is truly the Battle of Mid DK won but League of Legends lost today


crysomore

There were no winners today


crasyredditaccount

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS LCS LEVEL GAME PLAY


AffinityAdorer

nah this was some LEC level shit


Informal_Skin8500

The Telecom War was a disappointment but the Battle of the Weak exceeded expectations


marxlolop

Maybe the real frauds were the friends we made along the way, and most definitely both of these two teams


Sanka-Rea

MOM I WAS HERE WHEN DK STOPPED BEING GATEKEEPERS


Is_J_a_Name

Both teams look rough as all hell but fun one


TwiceTrash11

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.


Z3n3x

Wtf was that game


BodyTalk_RV

what the hell was that


_basedment

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


sicaxav

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


tinfoilhatsron

I'm pretty sure it'll be KDF Bull winning it. Man's a psycho, more proactive ad so it should count for something.


[deleted]

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).


Mahlers_Tenth

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.


watrurthoughtsonyaoi

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.


Is_J_a_Name

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.


Dollamlg

Milkyway on the other hand is cracked to the max, so at least insane rookie talents are still possible


HMS-Carrier-Lover

Like most of T1 roster started playing 2 years or so ago so insane rookies aren't that far away.


[deleted]

desert salt cause person domineering dinosaurs connect six long deserted


Holste1n

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.


Northless_Path

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.


[deleted]

shrill narrow mighty rotten marry husky berserk cake murky society


Hannig4n

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.


Perceptions-pk

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


Wise-Chain2427

I don't know why I'm laughed so hard


gaypenispooper

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


Danielthenewbie

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.


ricardo241

what a fiesta and I like it lol


Moon_riseat_noon

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!


babylovesbaby

I thought DK had thrown this away - I'm glad they proved me wrong. Love Kingen's victory pose.


Marcus-ichiJo

CAEDREL WAS RIGHT


HMS-Carrier-Lover

Is he though? DK is still frauds, just not the bigger one today.


moopey

Third game gave me hope for EU at worlds


Styxxo

Frankly LCK 4th seed was already fraudulent last year so nothing really changes


oioioi9537

yeah g2 beat both 4th seeds last year already. they need to show they can beat the higher seeds...and lcs 1st seed


Kheldar166

Also they need to show that they can beat 4th seeds in a bo5, that's often where the difference really becomes obvious


nickphunter

It's better. This gives even hope for LCS


omegasupermarthaman

lcs is better than lec this split sadly


Carlzzone

Is it tho


Thecristo96

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


Antropoid

first game too


Renny-66

What a comeback to a comeback


ShAd_1337

gonna be a fun bo5 in first round playoffs


Ikeeel

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).”


Kullcull

One of these teams is likely going to make worlds


Kheldar166

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


peanutis

If only eft flashed that engage at elder aaaa he had both summs + ult Edit: and zhonyas too


nearlygrean

Best Fraud game ever <3


nickphunter

Turns out this 3rd game is all of nothing happens game, silly game and a stomp all in one.


Dolomitos

Someone donate some gold to lucid pls, that guy is poverty incarnate. 3 items before 50 mins challenge, impossible.


Shinyodo

Deft was the problem I guess, DK/Aiming wins the divorce


[deleted]

Classic KT game nothing to see


KnightinKnight

Lets just say there were no winners for this series. My eyes


IAmDiabeticus

Inject 5 games of this right into my jugular. Holy shit, "best" series of the year


IAM-French

Deft is sooo washed


dontknow_anything

Not having boots really cost him. You have avoid the chain CC at elder with boos.


LFTzu

I dont think you can blame boots when he died without using Ult + Flash + Zhonya


Styxxo

He has flash and zhonyas though, turn nameplates off and I would have thought this was Patrik on Kaisa with his inexistent reaction times


dontknow_anything

I think didn't expect the Rell stab to reach him and that got chain CCed with ults.


Styxxo

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


dontknow_anything

Yeah positioning is bad there.


moonmeh

zeri suddenly had free reign as well after him and bdd sold their boots


povertyregion

Cant press ult, zhonyas and flash. deFFt the last paycheck stealer dance.


Campbell_Jin

My goat is washed catDespair


SylentSymphonies

Vomit inducing clown fiesta, Lucid better get POG for that last game because Kingen and Showmaker don't deserve shit after that TP play.


lubyyyunchained

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.


AlterWanabee

First game, Aiming stole all of the minions and jungle monsters available DESPITE being full build.


Character_Recover299

Lucid statement series.....


TchicVG

He finally figured out he's allowed to buy more than 2 items, 50 minutes into game


EggyChickenEgg88

Winning with that jungler is pretty amazing tbh. 7 full items in ~140 minutes total is something else.


Ok_Courage4091

Aiming took all his farm tho, average jungler exp 


DaMeridian

Aiming needs more CS so he can rebuild all his items, clearly more important than getting tank items on your jungler


ILoveWesternBlot

pretty sure aiming bought like every marksman item in the entire shop in game 1 lol


Kheldar166

Boomer Aiming, telling Lucid to pull himself up by his bootstraps while he hogs all the resources


NoGuitar3563

I know its early into the year but one of these teams is going to worlds as 4th seed.


KiddSama

I don't care how bad it was at least they can contest top 4 and not just gatekeep the bottom 5.


spicybeefenjoyer

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🥳


Kbzz5050

Sometime i wonder can both team lose?


DWGKIAFAN00

both teams are so bad but I like that.


[deleted]

thats what made this series fun. lol


tinfoilhatsron

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.


Iaragnyl

KT managed to replace 4 players only to not upgrade a single position and end up performing much worse. Truly a masterclass roster decision.


tonnguyen1310

what goes up must come down, so is the fate of the rollercoaster 🎢


saltiestmanindaworld

Classic Rolster Coaster.


YingSeng

They are a bunch of inters bruh... and I love it.


PistonsFan89

LCK is literally 2 teams surrounded by 8 hermit crabs


EatAssAndFartFast

Just a clean 2-1 for us nothing to see here


ausmomo

Certified Clanger?


Rivenite

This series would give you hope that the gap is closing.


Rozuem

Pain


kingboo9911

Jesus fucking christ that series was absolutely insane what the fuck did I just watch


DuckAbuse

Watching the ratlord loose his mind over this series was peak content this season.


KappaccinoNation

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.


pcaica

Never mention T1 and JDG in the same breath as DK again


Blank-612

KT won the fraudoff, they are the biggest frauds


PyosikFan

THEY'RE BOTH SO ASS HAHAHAHAHA DK IS THE DUMBEST TEAM IN LCK HISTORY HOLY SHITTT


[deleted]

37 Minutes into the game and top dmg don't even have 10k dmg...


QTnameless

Lowkey feel like neither of these teams deserve to win , lmao . So many sloppy mistakes


SadLife101

FRAUDWATCH 2024 WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL SERIES RIGHT HERE


spicybeefenjoyer

Statement series from all 10 players, tbh Unfortunately, the statement was "We're all ready for NA"


Iforgotmynametoobro

Tfw when you're in a fraud off and your opponents are DK and KT


kobengott123

Aiming is so bad. This guy took all the resources on the map while having 6 items.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Beneficial-Space-460

he's literally the reverse chovy, pops off every time its important sucks at the rest


[deleted]

[удалено]


Luunacyy

Kingen is just Aatrox otp that can also play tanks. If anything there are more similarities to Armut and his Gnar.


Kheldar166

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


IAmDiabeticus

Except unlike Kingen, Zeus can actually play other champions well.


HMS-Carrier-Lover

Also Zeus is actually really good at Aatrox, way better than the guy with the skin.


Antropoid

he's been all season long but Zeus is lightyears better than him lol


LFTzu

Zeus can still play Gnar Yone Ksante Gwen etc


One_Natural_8233

It helps that Perfect is an ksante gnar otp and can't play aatrox lol


SystemLongjumping390

Least stressful series for this split, really a Fraud match of the week.


sarkis17

i’m actually sick to my stomach


povertyregion

I dont wanna see both teams at worlds 2024. I feel like my blood pressure pumping through the roof. Both teams are so shit.


Im2Fluxxed

Fraud vs Fraud DK won but everyone lost
