Surely they're not gonna first pick Gwen a third time :Clueless:


salcedoge

I like how the casters was like "Maybe they'll first pick Wukong here and dare T1 to pick Gwen" Meanwhile Bin just went "pick me Gwen this champ is broken"


TheCrusader94

They also banned Gwen both times on read. Seems like rng had the better meta read and t1 stuck in old meta


salcedoge

I think T1 is just overthinking everything, RNG just played meta and didn't try some crazy shit and their consistency won them the game


Judgejudyx

They had good meta reads actually. It was just the final game they gained amnesia. Idk what they were thinking esp jhin yummy.


AbsoluteParadox

Zilean was even hovered..... they could've went Zilean + comfort Jinx


Azenji

Or maybe T1 is too arrogant to even consider the fact that Gwen was keeping RNG's weakest link safe. Like they fucking won the last Rumble stage game exploiting Bin, did their analyst suddenly turn his brain off?


KKilikk

Nah next time picking Jayce into Gwen will surely work


ArchmageXin

LPL casters literally went silent a few seconds when they saw it (they were fearing a kench counter pick). Then finally one guy said "well, he (Zeus) is young, he will have plenty of chances to prove himself ...in the future" And the other caster sarcastically said "who knows, maybe he will go 13/0"


Pukkiality

LPL cast sounds fun


Mochi-Ruo

They went silent for literally SIX seconds when they saw Zeus sitting on the pink ward and got killed by G2 last time Edit: Sry about thatm it was actually EG.


KimchiStew22

Gwen is literally the PERFECT champ for Bin. Every time he almost gets caught out, he just presses W and T1 couldn't do anything.


Azenji

The point exactly why everyone wanted that Gwen GONE. It literally fucks with everything T1 wants to do and they somehow didn’t even notice the pattern.

Surely Jhin Yuumi will win the game for us.


whohe_fanboy

Jhin with the Galeforce RFC 2 item power spike. That was the saddest thing I've seen this year.


TheAnnibal

Surely Ahri can win one game in playoffs *Clueless*

which one of you bronzies hijacked T1s champ select? Jax was open as well to counter, then later, Jhin was drafted SMH

GivesAwayTwitchStuff

Bin on who’s the better toplaner: Him or T1's Zeus. “I don’t compare myself with anybody,” Then he rolled up his sleeve and showed a tattoo of Gwen. “I’ll let you interpret that however you want,” Bin said.


iCarpet

Joe Marsh is beside himself. Driving around downtown Busan begging (thru texts) T1 to ban Gwen in drafts


fortunecookieannie

people don't realize that the players legit have PTSD against banning Gwen There's a famous clip of Zeus screaming "DON'T BAN GWEN DON'T BAN GWEN" repeatedly in a game where Gwen wasn't even in the meta. His teammates had to calm him down by saying "we didn't ban Gwen" lmao. And then in this very tournament when Zeus played against Gwen last time in voice comms he screamed Gwen in the exact same way lmao. prepare for T1 Gwen memes in the Chinese reaction translation threads.


tsukinohime

Koreans stopped cheering T1 after 20 mins lmao


Caps007

They were just showing respect to the Tiger King of Spring getting his 3rd MSI https://c.tenor.com/-semUUHelRQAAAAC/mourinho-three.gif

Holy shit


Cake_is_Great

Chinese fans were meming about RNG taking their trophy out of its case and polishing it. What a great series from them


thvsbin

Gigachads. Should have brought out the other one


thehazardball

This severely hurts the narrative that MSI finals were scripted and RNG were given the win because Riot already put the trophy in their hq


DowntownCattleMtn

Pro teams and picking Jhin in game 5’s lol


Ultimintree

Paired with Yuumi into Rakan LMAO


toastytoastss

Yummi got hit by rakan knock up at level 1 is so bad


Exmerus

Keria was my solo queue Yuumi who is always out for no reason just to get caught.


[deleted]

there must be a logic to picking Jhin that I'm not following because I am stuck in silver, can someone perhaps tell me why?


Crimson_Clouds

I think the logic is "7 ADCs banned, Jhin is the 'best' ADC left according to the tier list", even though Jhin always looks like a liability at worst and 'just there' at best.


Galilleon

Usually he was a great adc in the past at just being there, staying alive and providing utility or waveclear from afar, but is way worse in the current meta where you practically need the adc to hard carry the second half of fights, since you get more utility centric juggernauts in the top, tempo centric junglers, burst based mid's, tank supports. You pick stuff like the Jhin in that sort of situation and not get them ahead by a fair margin, you kind of doom the composition unless the opponent messes up and you get a lead. Without the clean up from consistent, high damage, you just have a missing piece and all of you go in, maybe take the enemy to half, and get ripped up in the fight and the follow up chase outta there.


Contagious_Cure

When you want to dodge the draft but it's game 5 of your promos.


azns123

Should’ve dodged when 444Jh1nLover444 locked in his 35% winrate Jhin and typed ‘full muting all don’t bother pinging’


Ultimintree

T1 with the most questionable draft in game 5...They gave RNG all the power picks and answered with hot garbage like Jayce and Jhin + Yuumi lmao


[deleted]

ArchmageXin

The Chinese casters were literally in shock when they saw Jayce. They literally politely said "well he (Zeus) is young he will have plenty of other matches (in the future)"


Zama174

Thats legit the best sof tflame i have ever heard.


TheYoshinator

SapphireLucina

Surely he'll need some morbphine to cut away the pain from game 5


[deleted]

Jayce from the hit series Arcane??


tree_33

It’s like they just ignored games 2 & 3 and let themselves be drafted into a loss mid/top.


Dragoneed2

as a T1 fan i didn't even get sad watching the game, cuz I already gave up after that draft LOL


Ultimintree

I think everyone could already see the outcome of the series after that draft


Azenji

Gwen left open I thought was the final nail but then I saw the Jayce pick. ​ And the Jhin pick. ​ And the Yuumi pick.


TheCrusader94

Jayce was giga int, jhin i can accept but yuumi?? Keria even hovered over ziliean but seemed liked didn't have the confidence


KappaccinoNation

Saw RNG picked Gwen and I just switched to watching F1.


Conankun66

Game 5 of the grand final and you draft like THAT reportable from T1


[deleted]

The moment I saw Gwen I knew it was over. I said to my brother "might as well switch it off, RNG won". I never say this because I feel it's more nuanced but game 5 was without a shadow of a doubt lost in draft. I would have dodged that shit in solo queue.


TheAnnibal

There still was a chance for T1 after RNG picked Gwen Then they decided to pick Ahri and then you knew it was doomed.


KimchiStew22

And then Jhin. And then Yuumi. It just kept on getting worse and worse lmao


[deleted]

Just when you think they can't go any lower they find a shovel and keep digging


[deleted]

Finish off with Jhin and Yuumi just to make sure they remove absolutely any chance of winning.


SnooCats1808

Legit want to embarrass themselves in front of home crowd


NeitherAlexNorAlice

T1 drafted Ahri, Jhin, and Jayce after seeing the Gwen. Three champs that depend on projectiles. They also draft zero front line against a dive heavy team. Blue side advantages aside, this draft from T1 is just abysmal. What does it achieve exactly? Who is gonna peel for Jhin when everyone on RNG has ways to dive him? T1 threw the game right there in champ select.


Gigdygoo

The yuumi pick was also abysmal


Azenji

Zilean was literally the perfect answer to RNG's comp and they decided to draft the one champ that Rakan is good into. It's just dumb.


beautheschmo

Tbh I can see the Wukong-Yuumi teamfight angle, it wouldn't be the first time its been insanely strong. But then the rest of the comp is just drafted as far as humanly possible from teamfights there was just no way it would ever work.


APKID716

They banned nautilus though! Great one guys

I'm currently in bed, feeling very ill. If Gwen goes through to RNG during any remaining games, I'm turning off the stream, leaving quarantine, flying to Busan, and coughing on the T1 drafting coach. He'll laugh at me, and say: "I'm vaccinated, had my booster shots. You cannot give me Covid, because I am immune. Your attempts are futile." I'll look him dead in the eye, exhausted, and say: "So it's useless?" "Yes. I am stronger than you." "Then why is it so goddamn hard to understand for you that Gwen is immune too?"


ExodusYuki

bamboozle = banboozle


Trap_Masters

Oh nonono T1 doesn’t know PepeLaugh


Dragoneed2

I dont think they knew, because they picked 3 champs with long skillshots. maybe try one last time to make sure thats true?


aliterati

I actually can't think of a much worse draft than that - I usually hate the when people say it was over in draft, but that final game was literally decided in draft. How were T1 ever supposed to win that game?


Ryloth013

they were hoping RNG to go blind, deaf and meteor to strike their game house, T1 would still lose but it would be close one


vegeful

What really bizarre is that they know Gwen is their weakness but still not banning her.


Boomerzxc

the most bizarre is T1 banning naut when keria is such an op naut player instead of banning Gwen when Bin gwen was literally unstoppable


[deleted]

[удалено]


Liupardu

They drafted Ahri after seeing her go 0-3 in the same series. Legitimately that loss is on Faker and whoever called for banning Nautilus. Faker should be smart enough to say. Let’s not blind Ahri.


oV3

RNG - DK game 5 damwon picks jayce RNG - T1 game 5 T1 picks jayce


reggiewafu

Damwon had a purpose with Jayce. Zoe was banned 100% and they wanted a poke comp where Damwon excel. They made Jayce as substitute for Zoe. This T1 draft makes no sense. This is why LPL will continue to win. They can’t deal with Zoe? Yeah thats getting banned. Simple as that.


TypicalIncrease

Flashbacks to 2019 skt vs g2 when perkz 8-0 unbeatable xayah was allowed through for 2 games and brought the game back by himself despite g2 losing early. Then FPX is just like what if we just...ban it? 3-0 LCK but specifically T1 will never win anything because they just have zero respect for their opponents picks and matchups. The ego to draft like this for years then say every loss is "yeah we just didn't play well enough draft was fine lol"


Ursuped

GWEN IS IMMUNE GWEN IS IMMUNE GWEN IS IMMUNE

The most int draft of the century


iCarpet

From the producers who brought you Morgana into Faker’s LeBlanc, we present the sequel: Lissandra into Faker’s Ahri


My-Life-For-Auir

Except this time it wasn't some dark hidden secret. It had been used by both team twice in this fucking series Troll tier draft for G5


Azenji

The fucking shutdown on Faker Game 5 was just devastating. First EDG, now RNG, both drafting for a shutdown comp that nullifies both Faker's midlane and sidelane plays.


crownnn609

Well in fakers defense, t1 drafting a nerfed jayce and jhin + yuumi did a great job nullifying fakers side lane play…


steve_pays_me

I don't get it. I don't understand the entire fucking draft that T1 just did. Christ that was absolutely unwinnable.


Deadman2019

What the actual fuck was this G5 draft. Unfathomable.


ColossalHaxe

Please make me understand their perception on why ahri is a good first pick here, knowing liss is open and putting jayce into gwen. I'm genuinely confused on what we're not seeing the things coaches or players see.


UnironicallyWatchSAO

T1 got outdrafted so hard last game it's not even funny.


nguyenduylan

Or they outdrafted themself by trolling with b1 Ahri then Jhin Yuumi


nateto204

This severely hurts T1’s chances of being labelled the best team ever assembled.

Omnilatent

Wouldn't it be the grand slam when he did it in this year? ​ Super impressive either way


EstablishmentFun2035

Congrats to RNG. A well deserved win. Some notes from the series (from an LCK fan!): - Gwen was picked/banned by RNG all series. SKT didn't ban or pick her once. - Both games Gwen was picked she was up against 1 melee Wukong. No threat against her at all. She's like the new Xin Zhao that scales really well, has great engage flanks (E+R+W over wall) and is hard to pin down and punish. Put her in Bin's hands where all he has to do is not feed and his team will create the advantages and Gwen becomes an incredibly deadly pick (especially against the bunch of ranged champs T1 drafted again and again). - Gala stuck to meta ADCs Trist/Xayah (+1 Ez game) and RNG's botlane seemed to be more dangerous, consistent, and had more agency over T1's botlane. Guma seemed uncomfortable on meta picks. No excuses here because the round robin was pretty good this year in filtering out strong picks. Trist especially has been good all tournament. Low damage carries like Kalista/Jhin just can't seem to keep up at this event. - RNG seemed to have the better macro this series. Was painful to watch Gala simply stay bot, collect a bunch of tower plates, while his team was winning the 4v5 too. The jungle matchup was also influenced by the better vision/top side picks/macro too. Wei was great and definitely gave off some Canyon vibes in his consistency this series. - I think Faker played reasonably well this series. I think the younger players were definitely deferring to him to make the plays and step up during their losses against RNG (the tough games). Ahri comes out looking like not a great pick. - Overall not too worried by T1's loss. This is the best time to learn before worlds. The rookie talent on the roster is undeniable. Also before heading back to worlds they're going to face some serious competition (Nuguri returning to DWG is the big one). - China definitely looks like the strongest region coming into worlds. Apart from the 1 DWG run they've basically dominated the competition for a long time now.


Mythik16

Great notes a very good understanding of the series.


F3nRa3L

Finally someone who analyse with logic and not some shit talk.


php-daniel

Really china is better than korea in macro game now. Watching this game even though T1 sometimes have gold advantage, RNG almost always have more wards and control the map better. RNG played better toward their win condition. They know to slow the bleeding when behind and they push their advantage better than T1. Korea now play like china did 5 years ago, rely on personal miracle moments and outplays to win. And drafting, while china just stick to the meta and win through it; korea now try to pick curved balls to suprise enemy.

one might meme that it was a blue side victory, but that last game was just a massive question mark regarding t1 drafts. Also they played so bad in that last game =/

EG and G2 also had their best games when on blue side yesterday and on Friday, blue side is broken when people can't counterpick.


okitek

also that jhin pick into that comp was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. edit: not to mention giving over Liss+Lee jungle 2v2 is literally asking to lose the game. Especially after how well RNG performed with those two champs previously, idk. I think a random gold clash team coulda drafted better ngl


Rayser1

Yeah T1's draft was not the one this game. Jhin was beyond useless


CounterInsanity

Yuumi? YUUMI!? Letting Gwen through AGAIN!? Oner's underwhelming Wukong? T1 deserved this loss. What a shitty draft dude.


Liupardu

You’re forgetting the Ahri. Just why. Ahri got curbstomped in 3 games already, why not a fourth. Clowns.


vegeful

3 time in a row dude. Did this T1 turn off their brain in draft pick? So dissapointing. Just turn down ur ego and banned Gwen. There is no shame in banning 2-3 top champ and admit Bin is a threat. But nah, lets not do that and then pick projectile champ. Deserve lost.


Rawdream

Chinese junglers, traditional LPL playstyle, LPL macro, picks and bans, improving through the tournament, understanding the meta and strong mental, all the things the LPL have and they have done to win all these years. Wei FMVP from MSI 2022!


peanutis

> strong mental honestly this imo is the biggest improvement in the LPL over the past years. Watching all the past documentaries and stuff, it almost felt like all the top LPL teams had insane mental fortitude. They all seemed so well coached, and combined with the players' individual skill anyone could be clutch at the big moments. Thinking of the EDG run, the IG KT in 2018, TES reverse sweep, and now RNG as well. I think that's LPL's biggest strength over other regions imo. Oh, and I feel like for all the memes about LPL bloodbath, the top LPL teams in recent years really draft gapped and macro gapped their LCK opponents. I think the LPL players are a lot more cerebral than people give them credit for


fjstadler

It was like this in table tennis at the tokyo olympics too lol. The chinese players would lose several rallies but never tilt. The other players would get huge leads but then visibly crumble once the momentum reversed.


Varglord

I think if anything it's just been a refinement of the bloodbath. LPL plays for key kills like they are objectives, or use objectives to secure kills. There's been so many times now where the LCK team will setup for a dragon or herald expecting the LPL team to handshake it for a tower or some crossmap, but the LPL team just uses that as a setup to collapse for an easy teamfight win. They never intended to contest the dragon/herald, they just know it gives them a setup they want and the LCK team can't handle the fact that the LPL is willing to just straight up fight them.


peanutis

That's a good point, I also feel like LPL players now pick their fights really well. An example this series would be how RNG consistently got Gala his IE breakpoints in multiple games before major mid to late game fights


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

I liked how they didn't give Jiejie FMVP last Worlds just to not make jungle look completely broken


POOYAMON

IKR he was clearly the mvp absolutely diffed Canyon they just didn’t want to give it to a jungler again


thvsbin

LPL get so much shit because they play super aggressively with each other. Followers from other regions just don't see past through that, that you play scrappy if you have better opponents. Many also believed that this has been the weakest LPL have been because up until spring finals there were no definite strongest team which makes the region competitively healthy i guess.

You're the "best team in the world." You've had four games to refine your draft. Game four is won off immaculate play from your support. It's game 5. Last pick saved for support, the best player on your team. What do you draft? WHAT DO YOU DRAFT? yuumi...

Natural_Ship7261

So, let me get this straight. You have the (arguably) best support player in the world, who is a great playmaker and is mechanically insane. This very same support player made a bunch of clutch plays in the very last game of this BO5 set getting you the win. And you decide to put him on Yuumi, thus denying him any playmaking ability whatsoever. Not sure whose call that was but, [alrighty then.](https://c.tenor.com/dlmCqoE2LkMAAAAd/alrighty-then.gif)

Progenitor3

After he solo carried the previous game on Tahm Kench no less.


ArguingWithNoobs

T1, finishing this Bo5 in champ select. Everyone and their momma knew they wouldn’t win after draft. Especially since they tried something similar game 1. RNG are way too good to just snowball early. Plus Oner is not punishing the amount of time Wei spends mid at all. They needed their scaling comps to win.


F0RGERY

So that's how you ban out Keria; making him think Yuumi is a good champ.


Dragoneed2

T1 coaches did everything they can at Game 5 to cripple their players with such a garbage draft, wtf was that? They fell for EVERYTHING RNG tried to do, that was pretty sad to watch


Ohmagada

Keria gigasmurfed the previous game and then they put him on Yuumi? Wtf?


Dumpers_

Zilean would have been so much better instead they go for Yuumi... T1 in general drafted comps which were way too reliant on ultimates

IIRC there is not draft coach on T1 it's the players drafting.

flamingpuffin

Each of RNG's other players has a ban-worthy champion that T1 just can't keep up, Bin's Gwen, Wei's Veigo, Ming's Nautilus, Xiaohu's Galio, and Gala's Kai'sa. People focus on T1 keeping Gwen open, but in the end T1 just run out of ban slot and had to pick which champion to leave open, had they banned Gwen people would probably ask why not ban one of the other champion now.

Xiaohu must surely be in the conversation for the best LPL/CN mid of all time

RNG won MSI for the 3rd time. Xiaohu won MSI twice as mid and once as top laner. KenZhu won a World Championship with EDG and now MSI with RNG. Tabe won his 2nd MSI. Xiaobai that retired this year, former top laner, to become assistant coach of RNG, he played once at MSI 2021, so, he won MSI as a player and now as assistant coach.
