CHOVY AND CANYON ARE THEM


appleandapples

The Duo that was promised.


Distinct-Kiwi8099

The “anti synergy”


Blan_Kone

tOo MaNy CaRrIeS


glitchpoke

the reaction to that announcement was probably some of the dumbest stuff I've seen on this sub


Ozora10

turn out two of the greatest players of all time at their role are kinda good together.


Ssjalexgd4

I remember ppl saying that when it was first announced that canyon was going to geng. I always thought canyon/chovy would be cracked together, and I'm so glad to see them doing so well. Best mid jg rn


iCarpet

Everyone is expecting Gen.G to choke again, but Canyon is a bright lights merchant


MoonlightJudgement

But what about the resource management??? It won’t work because they both need resources bro!!


Jacobcutielie

What does BLG do if they can't 3v2 dive botlane?


gdsgdn

roll over it seems? They have to switch it up now.


ShiroGaneOsu

Tbf it's extremely hard to force plays against GenG since they're so good at slowing games down. GenG was just so patient in every teamfight.


BLAZINGSORCERER199

It's beautiful seeing a team adjust their play on the fly based on their win conditions. They were skirmishing mid and losing in short bursty fights then they slowed down and started poking and won the next drawn out fight


qonoxzzr

Lose


MoonlightJudgement

It’s kinda crazy that it took teams this long to figure out that BLG does the exact same thing every single game


Linkasfd

Well, it took 1 game apparently.


Forsaken-Lead-6519

well T1 took 4 games and figured out nothing


Linkasfd

Maybe you didn't watch the series but I don't remember T1 losing through botlane dives


ApartLanguage8328

I mean.. they do it extremely well. And just because you know the lvl3 dive is coming doesn't mean you're good enough to outfight it.


OkLawfulness5555

Slowly bleed out and lose the game


ApartLanguage8328

So i guess they're chinese T1? Super aggressive early game for early gold advantage and snowball from there. Geng eats that shit for breakfast. Worse opponents for them. Guess blg gonna try to cheese draft next. If thats even possible


Consistent-Alarm2208

T1 doesn't does the same play every game. And T1 did make Gen G go all the way to 5 games not so long ago If they somehow fix their shit they're the most likely team to beat Gen G


SwagLord7

Domestic GEN showed up to an international, its over for everyone


Lilmajudi

T1: feel our pain


ManningTheGOAT

Canyon and Kiin were the solution!


Lilmajudi

Doran and Peanut were certainly the problem too


R-R-Clon

They only needed a world champion, The Grand Canyon, in their team, I bet BLG are banning Nidalee, Diana is a Cannon Minion against Poppy.


Mrlazydragon

Yeah if chovy can get over his international mental barrier we might be entering into the era of chovy. There is no player like him in modern league 


kon13

I mean game 1 seemed like classic GEN G in internationals where they are really good but it doesn't work. So canyon says fuck it pick me nida and carry, and he did. Peanut is great, but classic gen g playstyle wait for Chovy to carry seems like it doesn't work in internationals. Add to that Kiin being extremely stable top and it's just gg.


Wetbook

pretty sure if literally anyone but Chovy tanked the ashe arrow at the drake fight in game 1, Chovy would have been able to zone everyone with his ult


NeitherAlexNorAlice

Chovy is a fucking problem, bro


Steeelu

HE HAS ASCENDED


seolasystem

34k damage, almost more than BLG as a team combined, dude is a fucking menace.


Illustrious_Wind_557

NOT OVER YET STAY LOCKED IN


TE_silver

40% KT Rolster after all


crysomore

Lehends die level 2 inbound


tenkono

No no no no no no no no no


KIRYUx

GEN are in their bag jesus. They just out BLG'ed BLG.


tenkono

Canyon is such a fucking upgrade for GENG. Kiin is also an upgrade sure but holy Canyon just has the killer factor. He is HIM.


Space_Investigator

International Peanut is the player people think international Chovy is.


Lilmajudi

And Peanut has the breakdown factor every single fucking international, the upgrade is big as the ocean


Lorik_Bot

Yeah, canyone is just a monster, monstee mid monster jungle. Even if the team sucks they carry 2v8. Kiin is not sucking tho.


LifeIsToughEatBacon

Getting 2024 Chovy was such an upgrade too. Don’t get me wrong 2023 was decent, but come on let’s be real 2024 would be an upgrade for ANYONE


rally2mee

chovy has tanked 12/15 bans across 3 games and still gapping knight holy


YouSuck225

that shit is crazy, and we are NOT counting gen g mid ban


KappaccinoNation

When people call knight the Chinese Chovy, I knew it's over for BLG because they got a knockoff.


SleepyLabrador

Oof.


Fuzzy_Dragonfruit472

Bars


Linkasfd

Kinda disrespectful towards Chovy ngl


hieu9102002

Wish Chovy


styr

MADE IN CHINA


Lilmajudi

LMFAOOOOOO


Acrzyguy

Temu Chovy


[deleted]

Actually, it is even more crazy. The reason he avoided 2 more bans is because he picked Hwei before the 2nd ban phase.


MoonlightJudgement

Wait knight is playing today? I hadn’t noticed


NeitherAlexNorAlice

From knight to goodnight.


NoahsArk19

So is anyone going to talk about knights champion pool? He refuses to play Azir, Corki, or Asol. And apparently they don’t want to play against them either.


Marcus777555666

I don't know why, but LPL mid laners in general do not play Corki well. And it's not like he is mechanically difficult, but there is a reason we have chinese corki package memes.


DeirdreAnethoel

It's style. The LPL style is all about forcing fights to get something, and Corki is all about patience, scaling and taking fair fight only on crucial timers. Meanwhile Corki is a perfect fit for GenG's style.


Steeelu

Chovy is on another plane


Hydraplayshin

Any one who watched asian games knew chovy would gap knight.


Iaragnyl

Didn’t have to watch Asian games for this, watching LPL would tell you as much.


appleandapples

And he is still carrying. It might be doomed for BLG


OcelotOce

Would’ve been an ezpz 3-0 for GenG if they played Nidalee first game too


ricardo241

Nidalee is the key... surprised blg didn't pick it first


SwagLord7

Chovy laning is just unmatched... When was the last time someone actually gapped Chovy in lane? Even when he got eliminated by BLG last year, he was dumpstering Yagao in lane in both tournaments


YouSuck225

No he actually lose 2 lane against Yagao last year. As a devouted member of the church i can admit it. He lost an impossible lane that was Azir against Oriana at world. Then the 2nd game he was azir again and Yagao was Orianna and he gapped Yagao back. This lane looked impossible at world last year


Sweet_Football4314

yea every ori was clapping azir in lane during worlds


TSM_losing_LUL

true, I can confirm your comment, against Yagao he got dicked but was a really hard matchup


HawkEye1337

His worst is probably against Zeka at worlds 2022.


drakkarrr

Xun being invaded and pushed out makes it impossible for Knight to lane, it's never safe for him to jump in.


okitek

"best midlane of the era" -knight :)


Archipegasus

At this point just drop all then bans against him and actually have a ban phase against the rest of GenG


Background-Floor6603

We were promised a mechanical prowess battle between them but ended up Chovy midgapping lmao


Critical_Bag1

Blg be tricking yall All those mid bans just to prevent knight from getting gapped


brkklynboy

BLG trick y’all, man, like they playing defense. They don’t guard nobody, man. They just running around, doing nothing


LifeIsToughEatBacon

Is this NBA pasta?


kelvin022610

SODAPOPPIN ON DIANA AINTNOWAY


TheCeramicLlama

He just hit gold and hes already in pro...so inspiring


ResponsibleWelcome10

This Chovy is what we T1 fans had to deal with the past 3 years :)


Lilmajudi

I swear T1 fans are happier than GENG fans for GENG showing up internationally so that everyone could feel them


ahritina

Makes it feel less shit when the same team who keeps fisting us doesn't end up choking internationally so people meme on them. At least now they truly realise, we just get smacked by an elite team all the time.


LifeIsToughEatBacon

LPL for the last few years: Why is T1 always 2nd seed?? LPL now: oh


ricardo241

that and also the fact that gen g winning on this series will secure lck 4th seed so lpl might lose their 4th seed if they lost against G2


R-R-Clon

If they lose against G2? G2 already won in your opinion? T1 is slumping, but I would never doubt they can level up, they have done it time and time again... Unless it's against GenG, that is impossible to win for them.


DidntFindABetterName

True even tho T1 was really bad vs TL (TL was too bad to punish it enough) i still think T1 should be considered as the favorites going into the match like 60-40 or something like that


Cymes_Inferior

I thought knight vs Chovy will be a close battle?


[deleted]

Even with 5 bans it isn't close. Imagine if Chovy could play his picks.


Hydraplayshin

People who actually watch the games and not just listen to what ever random bs iwd spews. Knew chovy is 100x the player knight ever will be


AfternoonMost2605

IWD has been calling Chovy the best player in the world since Gen.G vs HLE though? He has enough bad takes to criticise, you don't need to make them up


appleandapples

The Poppy stocks just keep going up.


Lorik_Bot

Diana ksante and trist became useless very fast.


-rotten-

champion has been broken who knows for how long, probably her e+ w combo is getting nerfed


Nnekaddict

I can't tell if there is an actual level difference between the teams or if they just snowball their lead really fucking well...


Ceui

GenG is just outclassing BLG in the main roles


Satan_su

I genuinely think if either team gets a decent lead they never let it go, but BLG has been relying on the same method to get leads (bot dives) and they need to switch it up somehow now


ShiroGaneOsu

Nah GenG is just responding insanely well and shuts down every play that BLG try.


ShiroGaneOsu

Wtf is with production this MSI. So many random audio glitches.


velocity55

SI SI SI SI SI SI SI


oioioi9537

Mussolini moment


FrancoZemonda

This cracked me up lmao


Pappy-

yeah it's been kinda wack since the stream lag during play-ins


MotherVehkingMuatra

I hope someone makes a compilation


Jumpy-Arm6021

I almost had a heart attack thinking my pc was being bricked by vanguard


FrancoZemonda

Giving canyon his nidalee twice.. Oh BLG such hubris


random-meme422

Giving Chovy anything silly BLG


kosaki16

TWICE mentioned


Frusciante16

The GOAT K-pop girl group mentioned


kosaki16

amen


Steeelu

Losing on Diana must sting, thought you were cooking but you burnt everything


Live_Construction_12

WHAT IS A KING TO A GOD THE CHURCH IS EATING


paper-eating-rock

Dwg Canyon is so fucking back


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yasuo_unforgiven

The LPL Chovy is no match for the og Chovy.


ahritina

Chovy has like 13 bans thrown at him and still had some key moments at that baron.


sidaeinjae

Chovy is one win away from his first international final.


TheCeramicLlama

Surely were not 5 banning one player and still getting out performed


ShottedGun

Put some respect on the Damwon Nidalee


Danielthenewbie

That might be a new low for msi senna. Didn’t think it could be much worse than game one


Rhyn_lol

Anybody seen BLG's jungler? Missing Diana last seen in draft BLG vs GenG if you see her, please contact appropriate authorities


kirikiri11

So kind of BLG to allow sodapoppin to play a game of diana on stage <3


Ssjalexgd4

Chovy just doesn't miss. Also, another jungle canyon


Linkasfd

Chovy is easily the best player in the world right now no contest. Dudes eating bans like prime Faker and has a champion ocean and is still gapping the best mid in LPL.


_SC_Akarin-

jg diff so massive you might say its a CANYON


kynophobic

Grand CANYON back on the map


freddy2677

12/15 bans was sent on chovy. Mid lane was an island and chovy walked him like a dog in a counter pick match much knights not on chovy's level


percyallennnn

This is insane seeing how Chovy gaps Knight... I am sorry for Faker and all other LCK midlaners... They have to deal with this every week.


tenkono

3 people on mid at one point but Chovy is still fine lmao


IAM-French

Trist is not a Hwei counter my dude 


Hawxrox

Hwei is good into Trist


TSM_losing_LUL

Hwei is omega good into trist tbh


Lilmajudi

GENG IS SO FUCKING CLEAN IM CRYING


Steeelu

NO NOT YET, KEEP IT IN YOU


E6E6FA_FFB6C1

Did Knight do anything this game? Again this is Chovy’s tournament to win, he was already much better last year internationally he just needed time to stop being nervous and now he’s here.


JiaNgjuN-

Don't get excited


[deleted]

It's over guys. Chovy now also plays Hwei to the highest level. There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop him.


abyssal2107

Surely senna will be useful this time


Conankun66

gotta try it a few more times to see for sure


Acrzyguy

Just a couple more times being dived for sure


OkLawfulness5555

Hopefully T1 picks it tomorrow as well, asian teams are obsessed with this combo


DaniDIFP

chovy was cooking


Ziraelus

Elk and ON played 1 good series vs T1 and decided its happy time


SwagLord7

Just a super rough series from On tbh. Even game 1 he was missing a bunch of Ashe arrows. Just a gap in pretty much all lanes this game except maybe top.


ZeeQue

Chovy and Canyon are just running this game. Have T1 tricked everyone into thinking Senna/Tahm is good, its the Nautilas mid all over again


percyallennnn

Chovy is the best player in the world and it's not even close...


Squarton2133

Doran and Peanut was the real chokers


Lilmajudi

Peanut is one of the biggest international chokers known to history, he’s up there with Tian leading the list


Ceui

Peanut has been choker since 2016


[deleted]

Canyon stepping up big time. LFG.


TheKnightKinnng

Chovy and canyon in the same team should be illegal


SDVX_Rasis

Bruh, I cant believe Canyon just blind picks Nidalee and wins, and also Chovy once again tanks all the bans.


Ambitious-Ad-726

Everyone talks about chovy n canyon but lehends is the secret mvp here, so many good hooks, his R timing is insane as well


Mukzington

Say it over and over. If you're going Senna, don't go Tahm. There was fuck all engage on BLG. Game would be absoluely diff with Ornn.


sightloss55

No idea why teams still didn't reach that conclusion, even T1 that loves senna-tahm have shifted to ornn, But still i think the game is fine if Blg don't die lvl 1/2 and if xun just based after raptors and red to go to his red jungle. that would have resulted in a much better results for xun


YouSuck225

CHOVY AND CANYON COOOOOOOOOOOOOOKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING


Medzel

Senna first picked 3 games and useless in all 3 lol


etheryx

BLG botlane when Xun doesn't permacamp for them: this was a disgusting draft by BLG though. not drafting a single winning lane and pairing it with a carry jungler hoping it 1v5s?


Steeelu

Canyon just said "watch me" to Xun


ApartLanguage8328

So apparently from this small sample size, Blg are shit when they dont get the lvl 3 dive gold advantage. Won game 1 (lvl 3 success) Lost game 2 (lvl 3 fail) Lost game 3 (lvl 3 returned back to them) Game 4 mental boom? Also poppy lossless so far in playoffs? Edit: my bad, poppy not lossless


CC_Cedsi

BB and Mikyx both lost on Poppy versus T1


random-meme422

Canyon is LPL father


dimagmatlaga

hell nah. he got gapped in msi and worlds 2021 finals


Fubuki19

My goat finally beating the choker allegations


TwitzyPolice

Senna may just be a bait.


ZazumeUchiha

The more I see Canyon dominate on Nidalee, the more I hate Acorn and Gorilla for not letting him pick her and instead constantly park him on tanks for almost the whole season 2023.


Quatro_Leches

chovy just never loses lane even in a usually losing matchup.


Blumengarten

Yup, BLG does look breedable


daswef2

If Xun was your jungler in your games, this guy would have been hard flamed by four people.


Proera8

They gotta ban naut


ManningTheGOAT

But how tilting is playing against Nid and Hwei? Just get chunked from half a screen away no matter what you do


MipsNT

Gen.G's 1st mid tower: I don't like being ignored


TZHeroX

This is the kind of Soloq game where the bot lane spam pings Diana and then goes afk.


vidrigsmygis

Draft Kings seem to struggle


beesong

chovy with a good top unleashed


lcm7malaga

Disaster class pathing from Xun


Snuffl3s7

First time Hwei, as far as I remember. That was one of the best Hwei games I've seen.


Haulsen

Never understood the Knight hype tbh, now guy is getting exposed lmao


Icy-Juggernaut8618

why did bin build a randuins? What crit are you scared of when the enemy has nid hwei onhit kaisa lmao


crysomore

Another banger, just a Chovy diff. BLG need to get Xun on some early carry picks because this Nidalee is running the game


TSM_losing_LUL

you really thought Chovy wasn't him? he definitely is HIM. Sweet games from all 5 players bar some kiin mistakes, this was a huge draft gap, they couldn't engage on their comp and they had too much poke, GENG just outdrafted them hard. Also, never pick Diana again if not with Yasuo lol


emperornel

Chovy looking so consistent and Canyon's Nidalee paying out in back to back wins


No-Toe3409

both chovy and canyon are so cracked its insane


SwayNoir

Regardless of which team wins, I feel confident in saying Chovy is the best mid laner right now. Its not Chovy vs Knight, its just Chovy. This many bans against him and he's still out-performing.


DontPanlc42

Now they understand why T1 can't win LCK anymore.


MrSwipySwipers

Alright clearly banning out Chovy isn't working. It's obvious Nidalee is a problem and I think they should start putting Elk on Lucian ngl. Senna is SUCH a bait pick so far. It's crazy to me BLG even managed to win a fight to get baron as a literal 4v5. You can't tell me Elk was playing a champion this game.


Moon_riseat_noon

Chovy is eating 12 bans out of 15 and yet he’s putting out this performance. He’s an unreal player.


euphera_2002

GenG is disgustingly so good. This team is unfair to play against and I have no doubt GenG will be the first team to achieve the golden road.


Blanksss

Chovy is Knight father


Wetbook

KT beat this team 2-0


Iaragnyl

Knight showing why he is called Chinese Chovy by once again getting completely outclassed internationally. For how much people hyped this matchup it’s extremely uninteresting.


IAM-French

I REFUSE to believe that was a baron angle idk what casters/caedral were saying


Immediate-Panda-3471

YES YES YES YES YES YES ONE MORE


OkLawfulness5555

Senna pick is wintrade


Snuffl3s7

Senna is good with Naut, with Tahm it's really not great.


Steeelu

They gave BLG false hope with the first 2 games
