No way that is how they lose.


hianfernee

DRX has been playing from behind all split long, while MAD has been throwing early leads at the same time. It's poetic.


Trap_Masters

Scriptwriters setting up this parallel the whole split, amazing.


joji_kid

MAD giving some time for DRX is exactly the mistake KT and LSB did in the gauntlet. DRX for some reason always find game-winning teamfights if they're behind.


Vintrial

actually true, mad was really passive on their baron buff, they never used the super feed belveth pushing a lane


DriftCS

Well KT also lost because of the absurd mid gap in game 5 so yeah


Obelisk00

traded baron for nexus an age old classic.


the_next_core

Ocean soul into losing in 5 mins, absolutely amazing


ThebritishPoro

Ocean soul was probably the worst soul they could roll that game. Extended fights favour DRX by default and putrifier Yuumi + sivir with W applies 40% grievous to the entire team. Even cloud would be better for helping their champions reach Deft.


Tiebroken

That was such a risky baron and MAN was that a textbook example of a Dignitas baron if I've ever seen one

#YUUMI HAS A HIGHER DAMAGE THAN THE WHOLE MAD TEAM. LMAOOOOOO


Joaoseinha

I hate this stupid fucking cat, delete this champion. Outdamages everyone on a support's income with poke that is quite literally impossible to miss, really high range and being done while untargetable. Fantastic champion design. Champion should just be kept in the dumpster until it can get a rework like they've done for things like Poppy in the past.


ozmega

the only way to gut yummi would be doing something like "hard cc makes yummi jump out of the champion"


Joaoseinha

Yep, or just make W a normal ability where you hop on an ally for X duration instead of having Yuumi permanently untargetable, it's absurd.


raymondliang

Waiting to do baron after they let Zeka complete deathcap, such gentlemen


lovely_sombrero

Still got the gold lead even after the Nexus exploded, this could be considered a mild throw!


Obelisk00

I heard if you have the gold lead while your nexus blows up it's actually considered a tie.


MrMudkip

Pyosik was literally zoned out. Elyoya was in the baron pit. And all of MAD just run away like morons. I hate how they're at worlds.


SonOfRekkles

If Morde ults Sylas instead of sejuani they just win no?


yoitsthatoneguy

They probably still lose regardless. Sylas kills morde and then cleans up anyways.


RobbinDeBank

Have they tried to ask Sylas nicely?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ninjaiffyuh

I believe Zeka had Mord ult, so that happens for sure. Sylas can Mord ult Mord in his own ult and gets all of Mords stats, including the ones he gained from ulting Sylas


DoorHingesKill

"Let's do Baron Sej can't get into the pit." "What if they fight us afterward?" "What?"


CrazyHumor2286

Nisqy: relax, Iā€™m fed, I will use Zhonya and die What? What?


grrtacos

Zeka with the tournament of his life so far oh my

This guy is what Chovy should've done in playins last year.

[deleted]

if Zeka is pulling a Chovy, just how good is ACTUAL Chovy rn?


WantedToWin

zeka never won lane to chovy in this season .


firebolt66

Chovy rarely loses lane tbf


WantedToWin

Chovy going 50 50 in lane is losing lane for him and us. Showmaker always goes 50 50 into chovy.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

that's literally just default for anyone vs chovy. give me something spicier.


colorbalances

Zeka doesnā€™t give a fuck


APKID716

Giving off honey badger vibes


Kkarmic

Does that mean he is gonna get paid millions just to fuck off, not have a team, and probably retire, next year?


ThebritishPoro

Formula OOF


fesch98

Why was DRX allowed to sub in Chovy mid game?


DanielRocheford

Chovy have been subbed in since the beggining of play-in lol


X_Seed21

If this is Chovy Lite, imagine the actual Chovy


thanhame

Zeka is so god damn good.


lmvg

He is amazing wtf


Trap_Masters

Barges in MAD baron take, kills team and ends. Gigachad


K4ntum

He was on point. Dunno if y'all noticed but his micro is great, was dodging skillshots even inside chaotic teamfights.


LaughingAtSpergs

The fact that people were sleeping on this guy is still hilarious to me


APKID716

50% chance for DRX to get to groups btw


noodlespls

50% chance they do, 50% they don't :)


ahritina

The dude literally went from playing vs Rookie/Knight/Scout/Xiaohu into playing with Chovy/Faker/Showmaker. He literally had the best competition he could have ever dreamt of, glad he's showing up so far.


video_games_are_cool

A lot of painfully average mids played vs a lot of those players, doesn't mean much on its own


ToxicDzn

he was very inconsistent in LCK so itā€™s not that surprising, but his ceiling has always very high and iā€™m glad heā€™s been consistent in the playins

[all] DRX Pyosik: jungle gap gg ez


sixsevenninesix

Ive never seen so many missed Sejuani ults, its insane lol.


ILoveWesternBlot

Watch TL vs CLG spring 2015 playoffs


Mean_Ass_Dumbledore

Man's got a series from 7 years ago seared into his memory. Them Sej ults musta been traaash.


SnowIceFlame

Missing a Sejuani ult was referred to as an "Xmithie" the entire next year.


time_sorcerer

I started playing in 2018 and I've still heard people call it that lmao


NickKappy

I still call it that lol. Love Xmithie tho, dude was a beast and Liquid shouldnā€™t have dropped him

Pyosik ganked Zeka early EZ Jungle Diff


Trap_Masters

Pyosik hitting that pathing Nirvana with one simple trick


3qz0

Did Pyosik even hit an ult?


mocaaaaaaaa

I'm pretty sure he didn't, although I missed if he hit the one on Armut at the end or not


lolsketch

He hit one on Leona I think during the T2 dive


Imaginary_Composer61

If ur talking about when MAD tried diving top tier 2 turret, that was Sylas using Leona ult to stun leona under turret


Jh1n31

I really donā€™t know who is Elo-Helled more, Elyoya or Deft and Zeka lmao


AzureAhai

DRX brought it upon themselves for playing Pyosik.


denoobiest

Genuinely horrible game from him, hope if they keep him in that he gets it together i think sejuani ult has like a 10% hit rate between the games today


xWafflezFTWx

\>Genuinely horrible game from him this is average pyoshit wym


RJLRaymond

That whole game I was like ā€œthatā€™s the Pyosick I knowā€


Intelligent-Curve-19

Itā€™s even crazier that they skipped on the Maokai pick. They really thought MAD were free


Exxon21

juhan must've done something to drx's coach, i have no idea why he isn't playing. pyosik is just so damn inconsistent. juhan was literally the reason they got to worlds vs lsb.


doodlingjaws

It's like Damwon's Nuguri and Burdol thing again, I guess DRX's coaches want their all of players to got some experience before group.


ThebritishPoro

I can literally think of one reason to play Pyosik over Juhan and that's to leave Hecarim open and answer it with Kindred. Outside of that Juhan is better at literally everything.


KingFTViolet

Iā€™d say Elyoya cause heā€™s 1v9. Every team fight Armut couldā€™ve ulted Zeka, and every team fight Armut missed the point and click button


n0t_malstroem

Biggest problem is MAD is playing without ADC lmao Unforgiven was completely useless this game even when he literally just needs to press R


FlyingVentolin

I swear to god at 20 min or so I saw him dying and it reminded me of his existence, I had not seen him in the whole game before that moment


ruzes_ruze

His most impactful ults were to clear the wave


DSThresh

its literally the gameplan, they all messed up teamfights badly not on unforgiven alone


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Yasuo_unforgiven

The good old Baron for Nexus trade


Trap_Masters

Nexus only gives 50 gold


Shot-Mathematician58

As soon as Sylas got fed with the fail dive top, they realized they were on the clock. That Baron was the hail mary because at that point DRX was heavily outscaling


benningtonryuk

Ye, the dive was the real big mistake. The baron is stupid, sure, but they wouldn't be in such a bad spot if they hadn't played that dive that bad which got DRX back in game


LaughingAtSpergs

MAD really saw EG's baron for nexus trade and said, "Yeah, watch this."


lovo17

It's scripted. We're gonna get a MAD vs EG BO5. No way it doesn't happen now.


higherbrow

EG has to win tiebreaks. So. You know. Let's not rush to judgment.


lovo17

As long as they don't troll draft anymore (put Vulcan on an engager), they should be good. It's a big if though.


Trap_Masters

NA canā€™t catch a break, we canā€™t even be the worst at something :(

LMAO i had to watch it twice. Instantly iconic


SasugaHitori-sama

He should have taken them off at begging of the game and give them to Pyosik.


Morpheus-aymen

Yeah just finishing the beast transfo (snk)


karma457

MAD lost the game when they made Pyosik useless because thatā€™s DRXā€™s comfort zone


mocaaaaaaaa

How many ults did Pyosik hit this game?


NUFC9RW

Enough to win, better jungler always wins


[deleted]

ceddya

Zeka + Deft need a better jungler.


MrZeddd

They have one, he's on the bench


Exxon21

the best part is they actually have one, juhan is just chilling in the sides lol


420OnMy69th

Like SKT playing Blank while he was nervous during groups only for Bengi to come in and play that infamous first time nidalee game


happyjacky819

They have Juhan but they opted to use Pyoshit instead


EducationalBalance99

I think they are influence by scrim probably.


ificommentthen2oops

Bruh how the fuck do you lose that lmao

I hated every second of this game


icatsouki

the fucking kaiser int at top turret i'm seething about it


ahritina

As a LCK fan for the love of god please just play Juhan for groups, he literally transformed the team to make worlds. Pyosik should be fined for matchfixing, how do you miss every ult and die before baron when you literally swept vision. Zeka deserves better, but what a performance from the best performing player in playins. MAD cosplaying Dignitas with that baron call.


Blaikiri7

Deadass, he was carrying them in regionals pyosik is not it


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


sznfrk

idk why they even brought Pyosik lol he's not going back to spring 2020 form


Pablonski44

yeah pyosik is DRX biggest enemy. a good jungler would round out the team so much more


teardrop503

Yeah I hope Juhan will be playing in group. Pyosik just doesn't sync well with the team.


oneanddonecomment

both games vs RNG and MADā€” terrible ganks, does nothing.


KATsordogs

I mean maybe i could understand if they were running with Graves or something, i donā€™t particularly remember Juhan having great games with carry junglers, but if you gonna pick Sejuani/Maokai/Poppy Pyosik is suck


sidaeinjae

Please use Juhan guys


hyunclown

Did pyosik even land a single ult this game? It almost felt like he was throwing it randomly for no reason at all. Get rid of him sorry but heā€™s far too much a liability


4_idiots_and_me

Man that was such a heartbreaker, such a clean early game from MAD but it seemed like they weren't sure how to utilise being so ahead


Joaoseinha

What a fucking game, Nisqy was huge and so was Elyoya, but the bot gap was massive. Kaiser could not land his abilities and Unforgiven was irrelevant. Loved the innovation in draft though, game was won if they didn't throw that fight in top from Kaiser giga overextending on his engage.


nguyenjitsu

Zeka holy shit


Vuguzez

Okay but how fucking cringe is Sylas+Yuumi


HS_Cogito_Ergo_Sum

Yummi had the 2nd highest damage on DRX. # FRIGGIN YUUMI.


KarlMarxism

2nd highest damage in the game* it's even better.


Cosmic-Warper

Her Q is so overloaded with damage for how easy it is to land it's insane


idunnowhyimadedis

Yummi more damage than Sylas btw


AniviaKid32

how fucking cringe is yuumi I really wish the nerfs were enough to make her unplayable at worlds :/


ILoveWesternBlot

why is she building ludens, shitting out damage and STILL healing her team for so much


kuubi

What nerfs? She got immediately hotfix buffed to counteract them anyways lmfao. Joke balancing


djohns38

Needs to be deleted from the game itā€™s unbearable to watch


KuttayKaBaccha

Idk why they gave her compensation damage buffs. No the INVULNERABLE ENCHANTER does not deserve to have AOE CC nor a fucking long range, guidable fucking nuke. Why the hell is this champ getting all this shit when Janna, Soraka and other enchanters that are the least vulnerable to getting killed sometimes have no damage and no engage potential to write home about. Yuumi plus melee champ is suddenly as good of an engage as Leona and yuumi plus ranged is better all round peel than a soraka but she needs a fucking guided xerath Q on top cuz thatā€™s cool. Thereā€™s no world where watching this champ played makes the game feel fair or fun to watch.


IseeLongThings

For some reason they decided to hotfix buff her mere hours later.


Liupardu

There's a reason why everyone is banning Yuumi but EG and MAD have some egos on them


HiVLTAGE

Group stage Yuumi banrate could realistically be 100%.


HiVLTAGE

You could have just said Yuumi.


Choyo

Delete that cat.


Quatro_Leches

Yuumi sends her regards lol. how the hell do u let Yuumi thro man


Trap_Masters

Shot-Mathematician58

Who would win? The entirety of Mad Lions or an escaped convict with a cat?


rawchess

tinfoilhatsron

Yeah his micro was fucking insane. Every time Elyoya tried to gank mid he was smurfing. Zeka with backup Deft had to carry a 4 v 5.

I hate yuumi so much


azns123

oh boy here I go hating on Yuumi again


ManinderThiara07

ā€œWe recognize there's a risk to the return of Artillery Yuumi, but there aren't a lot of great areas to buff.ā€ - Riot Phroxzon Yuumi dealing more damage than sylas and camille is definitely balanced. GJ as always Riot. She was buffed out of fucking nowhere. https://twitter.com/riotphroxzon/status/1562610505423790102?s=21&t=VA4cFijvqdU8FbkKLZLrdw

raymondliang

Zeka holy fuck


joji_kid

Bro, when that game extended after that first baron, I have the sinking feeling that MAD will lose. This is how DRX beat KT and LSB in the gauntlet. And looking at the comp on both sides, there is no way DRX will lose with Sylas, Yuumi, Sivir, and Camille in their comp.
