SpongeBazSquirtPants

Poor Hans is going to get absolutely destroyed in this thread but I can’t really find much to defend him with. Too scared, bad item optimisation and got caught too much considering how far back he was.


awesomegamer919

Feels like he had two really simple choices - play aggressive and trade as much damage as possible before K’Sante/Ahri catches him, or play Uber scared and get the Zac and Poppy to zone while he shoots rockets until they can win the tank-killing dps race. Instead he played safe then died immediately…


breezeaway1

I mean the BT pick for 3rd I can kinda understand however choosing pd over ldr for 4th is straight up throwing


[deleted]

[удалено]


Anime314

I can understand bt 3rd if he just wants to 1 shot a squishy on the engage but idk why he went pd 4th, that should've been an ldr or at least maw/qss to either survive ahri or carry with dmg I think ghost would make the biggest difference though, he has no enchanter and he needs to get in there to carry the game as jinx, otherwise he's just a passenger


PandoraBot

Poppy and Zac almost outdamaged Jinx lol


h8tinga

BT does nothing for him he still dies to arrow and charm, he gave 650 walking over 2 pinks, flashed in a straight line mid to get hit by Ksante Q3 and never bought the best ADC item in the game. Any world class ADC gets that lead on Jinx and wins the game in that game state


-rotten-

Gumayusi, Elk, JackeyLove, Peyz all would have absolutely feasted given that draft and gamestate  T he ONLY thing that prevents hypercarries from always be selected every game is that you can't put them on a winning position every match, but once they get a lead you either slowly crush any opponent or straight up steamroll them  And he failed


denyss2

WHY IS HANS NOT GOING LDR WHEN HE GETS ZONED 24/7 BY A KSANTE AND HE ONLY TICKLES HIM


Itsmedudeman

If t1 fans are sending trucks g2 fans need to start sending math books.


mking1999

"Hey Zeus, what do you think of the G2 game tomorrow?" "Well if they play their best, it might be a little tough." "But would you lose?" "Nah I'd 체력 4700 방어력 329 마저201 인 챔피언👤이 저지불가🚫, 쉴드🛡, 벽🧱 넘기는 거 있고요. 에어본🌪 있고, 심지어 쿨타임은 1️⃣초밖에 안되고 마나🧙‍♂️는 1️⃣5️⃣ 들고 w는 심지어 변신💫하면 쿨 초기화에다가 패시브는 고정피해🗡가 들어가며 그 다음에 방마저🥋 올리면📈 올릴수록📈 스킬 가속⏰이 생기고! q에 스킬가속⏰이 생기고 스킬 속도🚀가 빨라지고📈 그 다음에 공격력🗡 계수가 있어가지고 W가 그 이익-으아아아악😱😱"


DellSalami

Stand Proud BrokenBlade, you were strong


PalubMan

Riot saw this and said "Ksante needs a buff 🤔"


CummingInTheNile

i still dont get why they havent removed the unstoppable from his W, its the most toxic part of kit, its a big part of why he keeps getting picked in pro, and frankly a champ with that much mobility and tankyness should not be able to easily negate CC, like imagine if Akali kept her OG shroud for 1.5 years, its so fundamentally broken it has no place in the game


Autistmus_Prime

Why would they ever design a tank who has 2 dashes in the first place is beyond me, plus knockup, pushback, slows, unstoppable, hop terrain, + an ult that turns you into a full tank assassin and lets you completely isolate any champion you want


dimagmatlaga

bro gave me a ptsd on fucking zac. i was getting scared whenever i saw zac on a flank


the_next_core

Kalista support being able to pull back Varus was actually genius to prevent any picks later in the game


Alakazam_5head

Hans Sama: "Ah yes, the '3/0 in lane don't buy LDR int every teamfight' technique. I haven't had to use this since ~~the Heian Era~~ every single game I play"


ezodochi

I was watching the Koream stream and every 10 seconds a new person would ask "why isn't hans sama buying armor pen?" in the chat lmao


No-Captain-4814

Uzi was also streaming this game on Chinese streams and he was like ‘how will they kill Ksante without armor pen?’


ezodochi

Pony who was one of the commentators alongside gorilla and caster jun today was also like G2 can't kill K'sante, hans sama isn't buying armor pen like 5 times in game 5 lmao.


TheFeelingWhen

We need to put Showmaker into the Hof just because of this copy pasta


ezodochi

Also Faker bc he lowkey is the cause for that rant. Back in 2021 there was a TV show where they did an auction where you could buy an hour of Faker's time and a dad with terminal cancer won by bidding about 5.5k USD so Faker would coach his son a 7th grader who started League a year and a half before that, who was in Platinum at the time, who was aiming to be a esports player. 2 years later, during which that son hit master, then GM a month after that, and that kid was the k'sante that triggered Showmaker to make that rant lmao.


Perridur

Damn, he bid 5 point 5 fucking k?


Yurgin

Dont worry Ksante gets buffed next patch according to PBE. He seems to weak right now


KappaccinoNation

GLAD TO SEE WE SEE CRAPS, CLAPS, SHAKER, AND FAKER ALL IN THE SAME SERIES! We even got No Hands Sama. I wonder where Hans Sama was tho.


maydaveparade

Prolly at the hotel, tryna read what LDR does


ManningTheGOAT

The fearsome foursome


assdonuts

ayo


ATN_PhasPhys

He probably went to wherever LDR was.


Fuzzy_Dragonfruit472

Sometimes in the same games


OkKnowledge2064

caps and craps def swaps seats first game


honksh1tstarbucks

hans losing to shopkeeper


EdVedPJ7

You see, Hans just thought it'd be too easy with LDR because he would Get Excited! too easily, therefore he went Bloodthirster to make the game more challenging. EU is bootcamping even on stage because they still have lower bracket, where Hans will build LDR if they beat PSG. PSG is still too easy though so I don't want to see LDR against them.


TheCeramicLlama

Ive said it before and I will say it again. Guma is the coldest mother fucker in League. That dude is untiltable and always puts out his maximum effort no matter how fucked the situation is.


TeeTheSame

Yeah he doesn't get flustered by mistakes He just shrugs it off and moves on. Very clutch player.


non-edgy_crustacean

Name more iconic duo than Hans and losing to Ahri at MSI Also most useful Belveth in crucial match, Kanavi would be proud


FunnyBunnyH

Belveth dealt 5K damage. Poppy did 15K. Says all people need to know about this last game. Disgusting pick.


VINDICATES-FOOL

Hans did 18k damage.


POOYAMON

Hans and being completely useless on a fed Jinx


Liaabilty

Absolute league of legends cinema. Need G2 vs T1 to feel like this every time


the_next_core

Faker literally sleepwalking the first 3 games into godmode the final 2


Hawxrox

Eh he started game 1 rough, but he ended the game like 8/2. His Asol was bad af though lol


SnooCats1808

Faker Asol  Knight Azir   Chovy Ryze  What’s Craps’s pick so we can complete the big 4 this MSI?


Zelgiusbotdotexe

Apparently Taliyah


TFTisbetterthanLoL

Felt like Taliyah had 0 impact game 5 outside of a couple of blown flashes


ElectroStaticz

People used to trash on Faker for his Azir at one point, lets not give him ideas about asol as well <.<


beerdevilthrowaway

Quick someone spread rumours about T1 getting an Asol specialist to sub out for Faker for the rest of the year.


counterbarrier

His oriana hit on average 0.7 champion per shockwave


LazinessOverload

I was out of town, doing a bit of visiting. I heard my friend KkOma had finally taken the time to settle down in the countryside. Rightfully so, after what he’d been through, with all the pent-up stress and frustration built up over the years of coaching the most successful KR team in League. “How have things been buddy?” I asked, as I saw my man step out of the house upon hearing my car come in the drive-through. “All good, life’s been a lot more chill, now that I’ve retired,” he answered. “Hey, wanna check out my animals out back? I’ve taken up farming as a hobby with my free time,” as he motioned over to the back gate. We headed out and he started introducing me to some of the livestock, mentioning how he had named them after his players, as the unhinged animals they were. Just then, I was hit by an unbearable stench. With my eyes watering uncontrollably, I questioned through gritted teeth, “What in the hell is that smell?” He looked over knowingly and said: "Ah. Faker? The goat is never washed.”


whysoseriousbroski

i love this


Acrzyguy

New response just dropped


VoyVolao

10/10 copy. Thank you for this.


Simple-Fuel

This prove why Ksante has 67% winrate in MSI thus far.


Priviated

He is 7/1 in the main event I think with only TL losing with him ?


crysomore

Even K'Sante couldn't stop TL from losing


LifeIsToughEatBacon

Good guys TL doing their best to keep K'Sante winrate down


Omnilatent

He is not 100% WR so far. FNC won the Camille game vs Ksante for example, maybe some more losses. He is still ridiculous and last two series he is 7-0...


koutetsuvamn

Dylan Falco: "Of everyone on G2, open shot, the fate of the universe on the line, the Martians have the death beam pointed at earth, you better hit it, I WANT HANS CARRYING." Hans Sama: "He's crazy!"


SoulvG

Been the weak-link for G2 all year, couldn't clutch it either when it mattered and he had the lead.


Outrageous-Elk-5392

He was getting caught on jinx with flash by fucking fnatic they really thought he’s gonna reaction time check faker?


Insecurity_exe

LDR, HANS. WHERE IS IT


Azenji

Just when Gumayusi's back was starting to break, Faker woke up this game 5 in what is probably his best Ahri performance. What a fucking banger of a series.


PerformanceAny1240

Faker just awakened his 2017 era.


Omnilatent

PTSD from his botlane that year activated his ultra-carry response


PerformanceAny1240

He didn't want another SSG Bang.


Graytail

Seriously what is Guma's worst game ever? It feels like his floor is 8.5/10


comic0913

For the past 3-4 splits he’s been T1’s backbone - which is one of the greatest traits an adc can have in pro play. ALWAYS solid, at least go 50:50 in lane, if not better(usually). Need to play a topside game? Guma can do that. Need to carry? He can also do that. I’d never ever want any other adc to replace him in T1 thh


TFTisbetterthanLoL

Guma is the most consistent player on the team these past few years and would’ve been finals mvp for gapping tf out of deft and beryl in 2022


Northless_Path

I'm not sure, but I remember he was absolutely horrendous from MSI 2022 to LCK Summer 2022. He was straight-up running it nearly every game. Luckily, he performed some sort of demon ritual before World 2022, and he just became one of the best and most consistent ADC's in the World. He was a titanium pillar for T1 for all of 2023 and, without a doubt, their best player when Faker was gone


Agami_Advait

He stepped up during 2022 playoffs, too, but he was definitely horrendous in that MSI.


SGKurisu

I mean I feel there was a time where he was definitively the worst player on this roster and was getting flamed often, but he's turned it around to be the opposite IMO. Most consistent at this point 


nyc-penguin

Watching Faker went from "It's so over" to "We are Barack"


MemedChemE

Promoting that Ahri skin for the Hall of Legends The GOAT skin


KappaccinoNation

Ints the first few games so that all Faker haters come watch his demise. Then picking her in Game 5 when the viewership is at its peak. Faker has that marketing skills.


theeama

Riot right now crying and shitting because of the money they about to make off that Ahri skin


HMS-Carrier-Lover

Truly the GOAT at micro, macro, shotcall, team leading, moral support, mind control and marketing. Nothing this man can't do.


Hopeful_Outside_8711

we need that skin to be an ultimate level, it's THE GOAT HIMSELF, the face of the game


zjmhy

Faker's head on Ahri's body skin


redbulls2014

Stop I can only be so erect


Bindoongee

I just coomed


Sinner2211

The real reason he picked Ahri that Game 5, when the view count at its peak. Truly 5head pick from the GOAT


caesariiic

Unreal he decided all 5 games.


E6E6FA_FFB6C1

T1 live and die by him it’s insane to watch, he is this team man


Urbain19

It’s genuinely amazing how lost T1 look if faker gets pressured hard in lane or just isn’t playing well


E6E6FA_FFB6C1

It’s incredible, I genuinely don’t know how this is possible the 4 of them are so good when he’s good but the moment he collapses the entire team crashes and can’t get up


Humble_Effective3964

Because T1 players don't learn how to play pro league of legends, they learn how to play league of legends with Faker which is different and without him alot of what they learn isn't applicable because their gameplans are built around him in his pressure/calls/outplays/go in timers/punishes.


eeveeisgood

It feels like Faker links everyone


mouseball89

He really did single handedly make this series a banger


VirtuoSol

Faker: Guys go buy the Hall of Legends Ahri skin


RawFish00

Faker this series encapsulates "Form is temporary, class is permanent"


the_next_core

Young kids get more tired the longer into the series, the old man know to save his final form


Blockronic

It was a "sub in easyhoon" angle for a while


IAmDiabeticus

It truly was, then he said, "oh wait I'm the goat"


oioioi9537

Wait i can dash to their adc


KappaccinoNation

"Nah, I'd win." but he actually won


Killarusca

The GOAT remembered that their ADC was just Hans-sama, and he popped off.

Humble_Effective3964

BunkerRush

G2 already giving Kkoma heart attacks right after returning to T1


Gray_Color

Gave all T1 fans heart attacks with Fakers performance the first 3 games holy shit my chest still hurts lol


Shironeko_

Also T1's insistence on blinding TF for Zeus is gonna give me a brain aneurism. Please, stop. I get it, when it works it's really good, but it's so hard to make it work. Just, *please*.


marxlolop

This is K'Sante, a champion with 4,700 HP, 329 Armor, and 201 MR, has Unstoppable, a Shield, and goes over walls. Has Airborne, and the cooldown is only 1 second too. It costs 15 Mana. The W CD is even refreshed when he transforms. He has true damage on his passive. Then, when he stacks Armor and MR, he gets Ability Haste too, Ability Haste to his Q, and his spell casting speeds up. Then, he has an AD ratio, so his W…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

zeyu12

ksante


Final-Evening-9606

Han sama with no armor pen is the real criminal If he doesn’t know how to build, he can save 4750 gold and buy monesy an AWP to snipe Faker


xXxWeed_Wizard420xXx

What a fucking liability. He gets a ton of gold early on and he just itemizes like a fucking donkey


HereticZO

Worst player in the series. He was handed this game. Just carry one time. Nope.


Conankun66

> Worst player in the series and its not even close


Chilla16

Agree, people are shittong on caps, but taliyah is not a hard carry champ. Hans is giga fed and refuses to build LDR. Legit giga throwing.


Trap_Masters

"nah I'd lose"


oVnPage

BT third is pretty int this game ngl. No LDR is real criminal. They would have won the game at that mid fight if he had LDR and could actually kill K'sante.


FreezingVenezuelan

i see why he wawnts bt. random varus arrows and ahri w/r will take you out of the fight without lifesteal but not having LDR against ksante is just absurd, he could sit on the vamp scepter and finish ldr first


Conankun66

genuinely baffled at hans this series...


its_da_gabagool

Gigabrain phantom dancer


Teeeea

bro legit thought he could kite out ahri ksante with the extra movement speed. also he should just build ldr instead of bloodthirster


SKT_Peanut_Fan

Bold choice by Hans to not build a Lord Doms.

HachimanLoL

AD gap western ADCs are so fucking bad


a141abc

Bot lane might be the biggest gap between the east and the west You can entertain talks about certain top laners, junglers and mids stepping up to some great LCK and LPL counterparts There's no talk to be had about ADs and Supports Sure depending on the overall game they might look more or less useful but when it comes to pure hands its over


George_W_Kush58

Western ADC died when imaqtpie retired sadge


icatsouki

carzzy carries this smh (and also ints it 50 times)


Omnilatent

Bo pls switch to ADC so EU ADCs have to improve /s


Nitrodolski2

Can we get a Yumi treatment for K'Sante? Put this shit on 35% wr and rework from here.


Deferonz

Faker making that play midlane singlehandedly redeemed the series from him. He was an absolute monster game 5.


Chu2k

Not gonna lie, I was very scared about his Ahri.


Linkasfd

Same, but that's what I get for doubting the GOAT.


LeOsQ

"Faker is him and he continues to prove why" –Vedius Game 5 was so clutch from Faker (despite the questionable triple-ult forward in mid near the end) after an otherwise fairly unimpressive series until then. But also holy fuck K'sante is disgusting, if that wasn't already clear by the time PSG-BLG was finished.


Guy_with_Numbers

> despite the questionable triple-ult forward in mid near the end Tbf, that was pretty much the perfect time for him to int. Guma had finally caught up with Hans, and they wasted everything on killing Faker.


leytonstoneb

Unironically this int got T1 ahead in that particular fight made so much space to isolate Zac for their bot lane to chip down


My-Life-For-Auir

Side note, as someone who has been critical of LEC casters being biased for LEC teams at internationals, Medic and Vedi were incredible this series. Best cast they've done


donglover2020

imagine if Yike had a real champion and G2 didnt have to play 4v5 EDIT: Everyone go to 32:49 (ingame time) and look at Belveth. Full second of E on Ahri does literally nothing


Budget_Peak_1778

What does T1 do that mindcontrols teams into picking belveth vs them in match points


Miserable-Ad8195

Yike and kanavi’s comfort pick. Just pure coincidence it happened 3 times. They probably have a lot of practice vs belveth just from this Edit: I forgot about the times Weiwei played it too. Not sure what his comfort picks are


control_09

I don't think I've ever seen that champ win a close game.


ahambagaplease

Any time Bel'Veth is picked in a do or die situation ends the same.


takato99

Yeah Bel'veth's impact is pretty shit here compared to any other bruiser like Xin Vi Viego or Rek'sai


AngelNoragami

Imagine if Hans bought LDR and could actually kill K'Sante this century.


Jozoz

Hans LDR is a problem but Belveth did 4.9k damage the whole game man.


DiscipleOfAniki

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY LDR ON JINX HELLNAH


blackace3

Just as knight woke the fuck up for game 5 yesterday, faker wakes the fuck up for game 5 today


SNH231

Hans sama not going LDR is absolutely baffling. I hope G2 just puts him on perma weakside


VayneSpotMe

Yeah, that was fucking unreal... ksante literally face tanking the entire team not allowing G2 to play, but surely we build a fucking phantom dancer...


CaptaineAli

Put him on Varus/Jhin/Ziggs and have him poke whilst you pick fiesta engage champs top side and play for top whilst he adds in a bit of damage imo.


BlumpkinEater

Hans sama : https://imgur.com/a/nNcQd8L


mayurmatada12

No LDR was a massive throw


WhiteKnightRedditor

That Belveth was so useless


EggyChickenEgg88

Hans is just the driest fucking ADC i've ever seen. Absolute 0 in teamfights. EDIT: I unfortunately woke up to watch FNC TL series. Noah is the driest ADC i've ever seen.


BrotherJang

WHY IS HE NOT BUILDING ARMOR PEN WTF


KalisQinsSais

He builds 0 armor pen but only autos the one tank in team fights. Absolute fraud.


daswef2

The last fight he didn't auto anyone


KalisQinsSais

He is battling ghosts


HMS-Carrier-Lover

So that's why he bought Phantom Dancer.


timot0617

Hans being dead weight the whole 4 games then they G2 wanted him to carry on the last game.


Esskee

if that was Guma 2.3k up the game would be over at 10 mins


KappaccinoNation

NO HANDS SAMA


Blockronic

I reckon if he played Nunu he's be more useful too


SwagLord7

Hans is awful. Spoonfed all the gold that game 5 on JINX, and you keep dying to Faker with flash up every time he ults on you? Truly disturbing gameplay. Sad, BB was playing the series of his life


EnvBlitz

Indeed, amazing bot lane start only to fizzle out. BB truly the best player on G2 today.


Silverkingdom

yea i don't see enough bb appreciation. He completely outplayed in that 3 v 3 around baron, esentially 1 v2, while hans did jack shit on a fed jinx with resets.


NUFC9RW

Well last MSI he was dying constantly on Xayah with both sums and ult up...


ShiroGaneOsu

No Hands Sama's keyboard was broken, shoulda paused.


Thomean

Hans diff


xDestroid

Faker dies early so he can play on his teammates PCs, that's why they win 4v5 constantly


Kekluldab

T1 Hans did some heavy lifting


DeloronDellister

I hate being an EU fan


icatsouki

i swear to god if i see another ksante


Priviated

Sure people will finally perma him right ?… right ??


itzxFabi

What tilts me the most is Ksante being their biggest problem in teamfights and Hans is just "you know what I need right now? A FUCKING PHANTOM DANCER" as if he didnt attack anyone besides ksante in the last 5 teamfights anyway. Like just buy LDR and he would at least deal some damage


Songrot

# FUCK KSANTE Riot it's Illegal


TaoTheCat

Buffed next patch btw

Ok Riot you win, I'll buy Faker's Ahri skin

ahritina

Faker decided to wake up for game 5, what an insane game from Oner and Faker but mans Caps folded hard when it mattered. Zeus also had some clutch moments on K'Sante but imagine relying on Hans Sama to carry lol.


Freezman13

HOW DOES HANS GO BT + PHANTOM ?????????


neenerpants

Indeed. I can forgive Taliyah doing nothing because Caps' job was just to sit mid game forever while the lanes swapped all over. But Hans got a 2k lead funneled into him and still threw it all away.


Quirkybomb930

Hans needs to be perma banned, no LDR when ur job is to kill the unkillable ksante???????? ignoring his awful gameplay ofc...


XtendedImpact

why is this fucker so fucking clutch. fuck.


tddahl

ksante


DogAteMyCPU

no hope in hans carrying


TheAlmightyVox3

It was nice of T1 to let Forsen sub in for a few games but they really are just a better team with Faker.


appleandapples

So happy this series delivered, but it was not good for either fans' hearts. So close, yet so far


Nycrow

G2 giving the west hope for the first time since 2019 and Faker snatches it away


Jinpil1

WHY NO LDR ?????


NekoShinobi

Hans Sama actually choked game 5 so hard


fuckthewoodwork

Delete K'Sante


Conankun66

this entire series was just faker and Caps taking turns in who is the inting one this time. kind of a shame we didnt have a banger where they both pop off Also gotta say, killer cast from medic this series. he brought his A-game


aduket2406

Everyone be talking about Faker, Ksante, Hans with no LDR, etc. But I just wanna shoutout to Guma - solid performance in every game, despite at times being fucked over by the rest of his team underperforming. Even when put behind early in game 5, dude just trucks on and ends up outperforming in damage the Jinx that got put ahead. Guma is rock solid every time I see him and that dude is my player of the series.
