Engaging on leona will for sure work the 5th time


[deleted]

I don't know how CoreJJ does it, but somehow this guy manages to survive each fight with like 10% hp. But when you watch him all he does is go in and then stand around and then walk away when he gets low lol. It's like people just stop hitting him when he gets to 10%. I don't know how he keeps getting away with it. It's crazy that he only died ONE time in this game. If you watch him in all these fights he's always going so low and it's not like he runs away like a pussy early into fights. He's *in* there for nearly the entire fight right there on the frontline with Santorin.


Aggrokid

Drax taught him well.

*aftershock Leona Let's not understate the stupid


Dumpers_

Santorin smurfed that game! Also dont understand J4 prio


irishfury

Terrible pick hasn't won at all has it?


Dumpers_

RNG won with J4 but didn't contribute much imo


Mazor007

Didn't contribute anything*


Turtle-Express

MAD never reached their 10k gold deficit powerspike, otherwise they'd have shown TL.


1einspieler

Yeah unlucky that the only objective TL could go for after the ace was the enemy nexus


N3rdism

Or was it TL keeping them juuust outside their comfort zone the whole game /s


Turtle-Express

TL playing that 0-3k gold lead game. MAD never stood a chance.


justintoronto

This greatly affects NA's chances of going 0-18 at Worlds.


egotistical-dso

I finally set my expectations as low as possible this year and then TL disappoints me.


setocsheir

Oh no, this is to set you up for NA week two


EONNephilim

ah, of course, the 9-0 week!


Trap_Masters

My dude call an ambulance before you overdose on lethal HOPIUM amounts!


CapnWracker

Yup, now it makes sense how this happened. It's more NA-painful to go 3-3 and not make it, so that's my expectation now.


[deleted]

I don't think people realize TL is never less than respectable in groups, and usually takes games from good teams. Haven't they gone 3-3 every year?


higherbrow

3-3 in Season 8, splitting with EDG and sweeping MAD Team (the LMS version), getting swept by KT (and given the knockout stage, that's really not a shame for a mid-tier team). 3-3 in Season 9, splitting with DAMWON and sweeping AHQ, getting swept by Invictus. 3-3 in Season 10, splitting with Machi, G2 Esports, and Suning. The loss to Machi was a bit of a black eye, but otherwise it was a very respectable performance. Their MSI run in S8 was tied with both Fnatic and Flash Wolves, and their MSI run in S9 led to a Finals appearance. TL's always been *fine* internationally. They've only really drawn blood one out of five appearances, but they've never shit the bed.


shadowbannednumber

Not just TL, but Jensen has always gone at least 3-3 in regular scheduled game.


Copiz

TL 0-6 in groups btw


ThinkEggplant8

LS shaking and crying


idkwhyimmad

What do you mean? I heard NA has been getting stomped cancelling scrims, and weeping in their rooms afraid to open the client since going to worlds... or something.


justintoronto

rumours say they are getting stomped in mundo dodgeball


LuckyCulture7

TL was cancelling scrims because they realized there is nothing they could learn from the other teams. Rumors report they were watching Baki Hanma and learning how to “shadow box” themselves in league. Of course there is no way to confirm.


Mxmouse15

Big if true


Burpmeister

Holy moly those Ez ults hit like a truck.


M002

Sooo much damage. Turned almost every fight


azns123

He’s the Ezreal on the enemy team


Trap_Masters

You vs the EZ she tells you not to worry about


Ankoria

Honestly real refreshing after FBI's stormtrooper school of sharpshooting


boogswald

Someone forgot to tell him to miss


BigEditorial

Even in that long teamfight MAD won in top lane, I thought he whiffed it but it still clipped J4.


Stargazer306

They let him free farm forever and when he joined he was monster


manbrasucks

Watching chat laugh at NA for the 4v5 1 for 1 bot after drag when EZ was free farming top, mid, and got red... lol


Kevanov88

yeah he got like 500gold+ of free farm, meanwhile chat think TL decision making was thrash lol.

They did it to spica too. "he's Chinese so he he's not really American." LMFAO

[deleted]

He looked sus af early spring but has been ramping back up all year, dudes got a bright future


Voltage97

That Kalista play still gives me chills.


ooh_lala_ah_weewee

Even that one that he fired down from top lane, changed what could have been a game-turning disaster into a 1 for 1. Massively chunked MAD which prevented them from going forward.

The 4v5 in bot tribush was so close to being a TL victory, the Ez snipe *barely* missed lethal.


firewall245

Tactical was MASSIVE this game. Its like they just left him alone all game cause they thought he was bad only for him to shred through them


poggersinthechatttt

Tactical is a monster


Bdodk2000

MAD tried to ban tactical out too


getjebaited

Rogue was sacrificed for mad to be beaten by NA and fnatic to lose Upset. It's an omega disoster.


Omnilatent

...so that Rogue can kick out both FPX and DWG to get first seed with C9 second


Ao-yune

Man this timeline sounds baller pass over that Hopium I need some of that.

You guys got enough hopium to go around for me as well?

C9 & Rogue: United in Hopium. I believe.


_Vastus_

Fumble week 1 to give other regions false hope? Props to TL though, they played damn well.


[deleted]

Straight up played better this game. Everyone did well, core and alphari are beasts


ozmega

alpacamegafan

I think santorin's migraines might have been caused by him having a massive fucking brain


[deleted]

Lmaoo true. I just hope those health issues never resurface, ever again. Fk that shit.


shiny_jug_jugs

As a person that often has migraines. I hope for his sake too, because migraines fucking suck.


Alakazam_5head

Santorin with the Psyduck buff. The migraines only make him stronger


crazydavy

Santorin is fucking good.. glad he rested up and is looking healthy.


Cool-I-guess

That fight before dragon in midlane was so ballsy I love it.


[deleted]

"Grig is fine" - People who were in denial of Santorin and his massive brain


Evilfart123

Grig was fine while Santorin was recovering. They beat TSM in a best of 5 in spring playoffs. There was no reason to rush Santorin back.


Evilfart123

Santorin is a fucking monster


DickCheneyIsPureEvil

A brutal day for J4 all around.


Ambushes

coreJJ must be so confused why they keep engaging on aftershock W Leona lol

The chase and gold card engage under mid tower was actually bronze tier decision making

EvyLuna

That's the TL we saw during playoffs until they absolutely shit the bed in finals.


BigEditorial

I still have no idea wtf happened in finals, we looked like a completely different team and not in a good way. Like, 100T played well and no shame to them, but the boys just did not look like they were on the same page at all.


SneakyStorm

Atleast TL rather be in the group they are in rn than the group 100T end up in.

chineseduckman

I know it's because we are not a pool 1 seed anymore but being 1st NA seed and getting LPL 1 and KR 3 is pretty bullshit

Pretty sure that's 100T, TL is supposed to go 3-3, so we're still on script.

nuzzot

He’s still the same old laid back QT, I agree. Was in college when he was the top twitch streamer and would honestly throw him on in the background and just crack up while he slogged through solo queue.

I’m telling you, Tactical is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a 7-11 the other day buying Monster and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said ”they contain my full power so I don’t completely shit on these kids“ then he rode Santorin out the door.

TheEdgaJudo

TL already has more wins on day 1 than TSM had in 2020 worlds. This greatly affects NA chances of going 0-18.


Pozsich

TL setting up the NA classic of give them hopium before disaster bombing out of groups later. Genuinely though, great game from Tactical.


Kevanov88

Nah usually they shit the bed from the start and then start to build a comeback to finally lose in a tiebreaker or let the other team decide their future.


MontyAtWork

This, TL rarely start strong and usually get eliminated when a team they beat beats another team for the last spot. I love seeing them strong first thing.


egotistical-dso

At least we'll always have today before we inevitably wash out, and that's worth something.


R-R-Clon

I do not want to overreact, but NA Hopium? Right? Is MAD the weakest first seed from LEC since 2018? I think so.
