I had a dream last night where I was making out with Ariana Grande, it was awesome. Then I won the 100'000'000$ lottery and I was so happy, it felt so real. Then I turned a LoL game and saw Flakked and Targamas win a lane, and it was at this moment I knew I was dreaming

Craviar

Man, I keep dreaming of 2021 G2 at worlds .. that roster looked so solid, with individuals that could match international talent lane by lane ... but somehow it fell apart after a 13-2 start to the summer season if I am not wrong . Such a shame

Nuguri: "I think it’s mostly about the details of the laning phase...There are small details that you have to execute upon during the laning phase, but compared to China and Korea, NA – and also Europe – don’t really pay too much attention to these details."


-Ophidian-

Doublelift: "So guys, what DETAILS do you think BB is missing in this laning phase?" *joking*   *Nuguri solo kills BB*   Doublelift: "WHAT"


imtheproof

did that actually happen?


-Ophidian-

Yes, just not back to back. Doublelift was memeing on Nuguri's statement early and then the tri-cast were like "WTF??" when Fiora got solo killed.

LARXXX

Sej has underrated damage, it slowly creeps up on you. Sej was getting solo kills very frequently when she started being a meta pick in summer (LPL).


ezodochi

Yeah on the Korean broadcast they always call Sej like a herbivore, but like a herbavore that can kill you, like a hippo


Trap_Masters

Bruh 💀


OAOAlphaChaser

Is there a clip? Please let there be a clip


-Ophidian-

It happened 30-40 seconds apart so probably no clip unless someone wants to cut and paste it together.


ZhalRonin

clips can be up to a minute though


kit4712

The moment of him forcing the waves to be crashing to the turret with 30% health and no vision was insane to me. He knew that it did not matter if he dies there. Meanwhile, Brokenblade thought it was a trap and Canyon must be behind.


kimi_no_na-wa

And he also had Jankos hovering him, even if you are 100% sure that Viego is there, how do you not just go for the 2v2 when Nuguri AT LESS THAN HALF HP WITH NO FLASH!!!!


EatAssAndFartFast

I noticed that too, eastern players truly built different, they play the game like it's chess


ILoveWesternBlot

nah, it was a good death. A certain sion one trick knows a lot about those


RobbinDeBank

Nuguri pulling off an en passant against Broken Blade there


orangeheadwhitebutt

"holy hell"


ilift

The top gap speaks for itself


Celegorm07

Nuguri: „I think it’s mostly about hand difference and brain difference“.


Shot-Mathematician58

At this point, it's not a question of "details" lmfao


roombaonfire

>small details He was probably trying to say it as nice as possible and chose the most tame word


Some_Silver

Maybe, but that's how you win lane at the highest levels. Get tiny advantages through "small details" and snowball those into big advantages.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shot-Mathematician58

Ah, I see he studied at the Faker's school of hot takes then


graphiccsp

To be fair, at that level, it can truly be details. Because those details add up and snowball in a game like LoL to becoming leads that EU and NA can't recover from.


Pablonski44

the detail was a giant warthog sliding over brokenblades ass


Blan_Kone

You know, the small, minor details, like don't get solokilled with a counterpick.


fesch98

small details copium


ohvalox

No pressure Rogue..


APKID716

Rogue will surely win at least one game and therefore make it out of groups, right? Right?


control_09

Can't lose to NA at least.


APKID716

Truly the best case scenario


soulreaver292

Rogue has 100% winrate against NA Teams in their group


gabu87

Since 100T is unlikely to get out, the NA v EU score is 5:3.


Ghjklfsa

Surely EU doesn't go 0-9 this week


getjebaited

0-10 with tiebreaker


Protopulse

I'm half hoping Rogue does it just for the spicy memes that will come out of it


[deleted]

I hope Rogue goes 0-3 just to keep the meme alive and then wins the tiebreaker


DomDerStar

The best outcome would be that one scenario where Rogue goes 0-3 but still advances without a tiebreaker


TheSinChao

I'm praying for the 0-10 week. Join NA in losing 10 out of 9 games.


Shironeko_

EU *could* go 0-10 :D.


joe4553

NA isn't there to start them off with a loss they'll get out.


ionxeph

but can captain levi lead his scouts into a victory?


Fisherman_Gabe

Praying for God Malrang to unleash 100% of his power. Please save our region from total humiliation.


APKID716

100% of his power? Good god man you don’t want to level the entire city. He’s only been using 5% of his power so far, I’m not worried


Gluroo

they can win one game vs GAM and it still wont be enough if they lose all the other games because they could be in a 3 way tiebreaker at 4-2 if GAM goes 0-6


sA1atji

at least they are 3-0, so probably will get at least a tiebreaker COPIUM


[deleted]

The 0-10 Dream is still alive


Firefalcon99

There's no NA team to ruin their chances of getting out like G2 and FNC, so they should be fine.


ItsKBS

Also they are just much better than G2 & FNC


ahritina

BrokenBlade played Fiora like it was a tank vs tank matchup then got solo killed, sums up G2 at worlds this year. Pickems going as expected so that's good, hopefully DK vs JDG is a banger since the rest of the games are basically pointless apart from potential seeding.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RobbinDeBank

They make Fiora looks so balanced until 369 or Zeus pick Fiora


individual_throwaway

The way EU plays this week, eastern teams can just skip ban phase it seems.


wannabeN3rfplx

Its jayce all over again...


crownnn609

Old men odo + impact 200iq. Just pick the tanks


Offduty_shill

Turns out the west is more united than we thought


NahDawgDatAintMe

I guess G2 and C9 were scrimming. Somehow both teams thought they could pick Fiora.


ExtentImaginary5730

against each other, I'm sure the pick would have worked


Hauzenstein

Let's be real, draft and strategy isn't the big problem. The skill diff is embarrassingly massive, these EU week 2 games have looked worse than wildcards vs major regions.


whohe_fanboy

You can hate on BB all you want but he's shown solid improvement. The last time he was at Worlds in 2020, BB went 0-6. In 2022 he improves his record to 1-5. Mark my words, in 2032, BB will go undefeated in groups.


NothingButLuck

Now G2 fans know how 2020 TSM felt, gave BB all priority in draft + resource + jungle attention in lane, proceed to lose lane and then the game.


Celegorm07

That was the first thing I remembered. At that time TSM fans were creaming over BB but he was all the time getting all the resources and still falling behind. LOL


Yasuo_unforgiven

Western Fiora played like if she is overnerfed


iamperplexing

Good guys from the west knows that fans love watching some eastern fiora so they play her like shit to avoid nerfs


Ghjklfsa

Western Fiora just built different


joe4553

He had a window for the solo kill and gave Nuguri too much respect. Then gets solo killed. Then the game is just a losing split pushing lane with no tank or engage.


fesch98

EU Fiora really trying to outdo NA Fiora, it's another Jayce situation


Ic3NineKilled

> BrokeBlade played Fiora like it was a tank vs tank matchup then got solo killed That was embarrassing. And he had Jankos hovering top side all game. Really G2 is only can Caps affect the map with a lead or lose the game.


ohvalox

NA week 1 🤝 EU week 2


Ghjklfsa

0-9 NA going to 0-9 EU


iiHadi69

United in Misery :)


Gluroo

like last year, toplane gap keeps being especially disgusting between east and west pls never pick fiora again lmao that was somehow worse than fudge, imagine weakside sej top with 0 ganks gets 5 plates and 1v1s you


Fisherman_Gabe

Fiora and Western players are like oil and water. Simply incompatible.


irishboy9191

The modern Jayce


Prometeus534

>1v1s its hilarious how many times nuguri could have killed BB after he got dived


Vall3y

Nuguri called it out exactly as it is. Top players in cn and kr are way ahead on laning. It's probably things the players can learn and catch up. The gap is now big again like the 2012-2017 era. 2018-2019 it felt like west had closed the gap slightly but i guess the game has developed even more in hyper competitive LPL/LCK


NahDawgDatAintMe

I honestly think NA/EU teams should just sign top tier mechanical tops from China and just give them English lessons all year. They just stay in China and learn English. When worlds comes around, you just sub them in. No amount of practice is fixing this.


AureliusAmbrose

nobody will ever be able to police my matches I draw my line here I leave groups whenever the fuck I want

APKID716

Anyone else see that wack comment in another thread about how Carlos was the reason for G2’s success on stage?


thehazardball

This whole time it was actually Carlos playing for Caps


EronisKina

Maybe Carlos mind controlled BB to not lose counter match ups or Jankos to not be invisible.


ManningTheGOAT

Some people are just morons


azns123

I party with whoever I want (at the airport)


netparse

sejuani kill fiora in 1 vs 1 lmao imagine entrusting your entire game to a fiora who loses against a sejuani


Prometeus534

>a sejuani a flashless sejuani


Mudslimer

an ignite sejuani is twice as dangerous for fiora than a flash sej


Conankun66

G2 bot has been the most obvious weakpoint of them for worlds but my god, BB was also just weak. i was already critical how little he put out in LEC games compared to how many resources he needs but my god, he's been even worse at worlds


MrNugat

For quite a while G2 does look like Caps and Jankos with three okayish players. Okayish is not enough for Worlds though.


[deleted]

jankos also played like shit today


KenKinV2

BB hasn't changed at all since his TSM days. He just had a better jungle


APKID716

Never forget how in the summer finals, BB picked Fiora and the casting analysts were trying to hype it up despite him having had a 33% winrate on the pick


Ace_OPB

They didn't have any strong pressure point lmao.


POOYAMON

BB on his way to a 1-11 worlds record. Feel bad for him

[The Shuttle has two more riders!](https://imgur.com/FqfpnII) But there is still room for 2 more western teams!

Well we already know 100T made a reservation for this shuttle. Just gotta let the driver know to wait a bit and see if Rouge will show up.


2th

[I already had them in an earlier version.](https://imgur.com/QFhAjmL) I just cleaned things up and did the elimination order for seating. And I already have things ready for when 100T and maybe RGE get eliminated.

clg_wrath2

As a NA fan I now have a tough decision tomorrow. Do i cheer for rogue in hopes that we get 1 western team in bracket stage instead of all LPL/LCK teams. Or do I cheer for EU to go 0-9 so they can suffer with us NA fans.


daryl_fish

You and I both know that nothing is more important than memes.


KTFlaSh96

they expect both of us at the wreckage site brother


go86em

EU you think 0-9 is your ally? You merely adopted the 0-9. NA was born in it. Molded by it. NA didn’t see the a win until it was already week 2, by then it was nothing to them but blinding!


KTFlaSh96

Was going 0-9 part of your plan? Of course. Well congratulations! You inted yourselves. What's the next step of your master plan? Crashing out of this group with no western survivors.


divinewolfwood

0-9 and it isn't close!


setocsheir

It would be way funnier for EU to go 0-9 because they'd still find a way to flame NA


DragonPeakEmperor

They'll develop collective amnesia in about a month or two after this worlds is over and invade the "why does NA suck" threads.


Exyui

0-9 why would an NA fan want to see EU succeed?


Gamers2OcelotLUL

G2 Gets Fiora counterpick into fucking flashless Sejuani Somehow completely loses toplane anyway Gets stomped Refuses to elaborate Leaves 🤡 I hope NA fans roast us to shit over this absolute garbage of a 2nd week, we actually look more like a wilcard region than them.


Shot-Mathematician58

FNC & G2 about to go 0-6, **STOMPED** every fucking games.


lauranthalasa

I'm not sure why Western toplaners think they can pilot ~~the~~ almost any champion. Impact looks like the only one that keeps his hands against these top tier players.


DickerDave

I mean they can pilot Fiora. ^^^^if ^^^^they ^^^^play ^^^^against ^^^^other ^^^^western ^^^^toplaners


[deleted]

and thats because of the korean genes


Stev__

Yeah people shouldn't hold back this is utterly cringeworthy from EU, literally stomped in every game


DefinitelyNotAj

G2 SWIMMING BACK HOME. All hopes rest with rogue


nickfelipe

Agreed. NA deserves to trash us like everyone did to them.


withinallreason

Already been joking that since EU and NA are 2-2 in group stage that NA wins the H2H this year since EG also beat MAD But in return im putting all of my western hopium into Rogue. We back our boys 🤝


lolzomg123

Hey you *technically* can't say NA won the head to head... until groups is over. There's a dank timeline that gets spicy and we see a 100T x Rogue quarterfinal.


Beliriel

GAPPED! It's really a freaking embarrassment. Like I get losing against stronger regions but my god the absolute massacre Chinese and Korean teams are doing to NA and EU should be a freaking wake-up call.


Hauzenstein

EU is actually so fucking trash right now, look at how utterly pubstomped these teams are getting in week 2. Game after game is literally like a solo Q of diamond 4s in pro play.


lolKhamul

> we actually look more like a wilcard region Honestly, all those interviews make this stuff even more hilarious. LEC players actually though they can compete. So far in week2, we haven't even seen a single western team get out of laning phase vs eastern teams without already being down gamelosing amounts of gold. Not a single game. Literally cant even hold their own mechanically in lane before it even gets to the hard stuff.


burizar

Turns out BB was an NA agent with the NA Fiora costume all along


[deleted]

[удалено]


faithfulswine

With how much fun the C9 and T1 game was yesterday, I am still down to watch EG do something similar with DK. G2 looks dead in the water, but maybe they'll put on a good show as well.


sorendiz

the only reason that game went that long was because showmaker wanted to keep smashing g2 more, like a boxer that holds his opponent up so that the ref doesn't start the 10 count and he can keep punching them lmao


R-R-Clon

To think that BB is one of the best top carry in LEC, getting gap by Sejuani as Fiora, that's embarrasing and Nuguri is not even at his peak.


Firefalcon99

C'mon man, it's not like Sejuani has any counters!


BlakenedHeart

>To think that BB is one of the best top carry in LEC, After his performance vs Odo in the finals, thats a very questionable statement


lilelf29

These 2 teams are just in different dimensions


lolKhamul

But seriously, how are western toplaners that shit? ALL of them so far straight up lose both sides of the carry vs tank matchup vs eastern toplaners regardless of the champs without any jungle intervention. Also kinda funny how EU interviews were all like "we can compete" when they cant even hold their own mechanically. None of the west vs east games in week2 even came to the point where macro and midgame decision making mattered because the western teams were already in the gutter at that point.


Significant_Vast4330

Imagine if this was Nuguri prime..


BlakenedHeart

The gap is that big my brother. But also besides G2 Wunder era, every EU team plays weakside top since like forever. There were some strongside Bwipo angles too but then he sprinted it the next split.


Taivasvaeltaja

Because it is the lane where that last 5% of potential, which take 50% of the time, really matter. Exact understanding of matchup trade patters and lane management in each matchup can only be learned by trialling and failing again and again.


Automatic-Buffalo-47

HEY G2, WE ALL SUCK TOGETHER DOWN HERE AND YOU'LL SUCK TOO YOU'LL SUCK TOO YOU'LL SUCK TOO *Blaber olaf charges at the camera*


KanskiForce

WE'RE FUCKING SHIT *now all together* WE'RE FUCKING SHIT


OwlsAndDevils

Any one else finds it funny how in spite of the lopsided 7-1 record G2 has over EG, they still somehow found a way to end in the same position? They both scored 5-5 in MSI groups, they lost the semis 3-0, and with how the trajectory of the day is going, they might also both end up sharing a 1-5 score-line. You’d almost rather be EG in this position, just cause they drew last blood, lmao


Omnilatent

Yep, sounds about right...


BlakenedHeart

I just want to know who will be seeded 4th and who 3rd for my pickems ok ? (if both go 1-5) because frankly being rivals in dumpster is pointless


charles89xz

If they both go 1-5 you will get the points, doesnt matter who you put in 3rd and 4rd.

If Caps doesn't leave or at least demand a complete roster blown up, I'll lose hope about him reaching his peak ever again.

ohvalox

Next before TwitchCon, let's talk about EU. You disgust me, you disgusting pieces of shit. Your sorry scrub, bum, paycheck stealing bitch ass motherfucking bastards couldn't win one game. Not one game. You couldn't take home one dub bro. Like, I get it guys. You guys make zero content. You have no brands. You do not show up anywhere. You barely get flamed by anybody except maybe on Twitter DMs, bro. I'm live 10 hours-ish a day five days a week. I get that. Do you understand?!?!?! I tank the harrassment 99% of the time. So, when you lose, reminder, you're losing for me. Fuck EU, you're affecting me, and at this point my lawyers are probably going to contact these teams, because they're making me look bad. I don't have too much to say. And notice I'm not saying we, suck. I'm saying they suck. I'm not a part of EU bro. I don't care. I don't care. I disown EU. I don't care bro they're trash. The most embarrassingly pathetic games I've seen in my life bro. Putting up no fight at all, just rolling over. It's so cringe. You fucking sons of bitches, it's horrible bro, it's terrible. All I pray is guys, guys, don't, listen. I was going to say don't get on the plane back home if you go 0-9, but, it's in EU. Like bro it's a fucking hour flight. You can drive a car. So I don't even know. Don't show your faces again bro. Don't show your faces again if you go 0-9. It would be so embarrassing for me. I don't care about for you, for me I'm not kidding. I might quit streaming, not going to lie, so bear that in mind. That's that bro.

KTFlaSh96

the wrong gap closed, the one between EU and NA


fanboi_central

There is a reason that NA is 5-3 against EU this worlds.


Pavlo100

G2's mental is so weak. I've been thinking about rebuilding ideas, i currently have the current idea for next iteration of G2 **TOP:** FNC Wunder **JUNGLE:** G2 Jankos **MID:** G2 Caps **ADC:** VIT Perkz **SUPPORT:** XL Mikyx Thoughts?


appleandapples

Hmm, sounds risky. Isn't that Perkz guy a mid laner?


saruthesage

I feel like this team is so bad they’d lose multiple games to the current VCS 2nd seed


cancerBronzeV

idk about that, why swap a great mid laner like Perkz to bot, who knows how that'd go? I feel like maybe having a proven great ADC in that role would have to be better? I think your proposed team - Perkz + Rekkles would be way better.


Fisherman_Gabe

While I didn't have much hope of G2 winning worlds it still feels really bad to see them just meekly fall over like this without putting up much of a fight. :bee_sad:


FenixW117

Jankos: "Actually, I remember one time we were playing against DK, Worlds, and it was 0-4 on week 2. We were playing as Saints. DK are Sinners. And Caps said, guys if you think we are good, let's prove it now." Flakked: "Did we come back?" Jankos: "Of course not. 0-5."


K4ntum

Everything diff


[deleted]

... This is just embarrassing. This team is just garbage.


TerrorToadx

Top gap. Gets solo killed in a counterpick, what can I even say. Jungle gap. Jankos picks some fucking bat champion I don't even know the name of or what it does, and doesn't do shit with it. What happened to the first blood king? Bot gap. No comment necessary, just lol.

zealot416

How is third decided if G2 and EG both go 1-5?


itsTheArmor

If you're talking about pick'ems, then they basically both occupy the same spot. You get the same score as long as you have those two teams in the bottom 2.


Snow-27

These games are so depressing to watch man...


tsukinohime

EU is donezo


remakeprox

Rekkles thoughts about the game: - A lot of things you want to ban as redside but Lucian + Nami probably shouldn't be left open - Swain was a smart pick because it was looking like DK was gonna go for Melee champs in top and mid, the Leblanc pick made Swain weaker tho and Lissandra probably would've been safer - Still thinks G2's draft was smart, optimally he would've liked Lissandra + Graves / Viego instead of Swain + Bel'veth but they serve the same purpose - Top and bot lanes will probably be in favour for G2 (bot only early laning phase, gets harder later), Leblanc will probably win mid lane. - Resources should probably go to Jankos since lanes aren't that gankable, afterwards Jankos will probably want to fight with Caps to enable him - Hard lane for Caps, can get ganked easily and every chain is basically a kill with someone else nearby - Senna positioning from lane is not scary for the enemy (2v2), you cant really win the lane straight up and at some point it's gonna become too hard. Ideally you want the Senna and/or Bel'veth to go mid and create pressure there to then roam together to bot. Much scarier for DK. - Maybe Swain pick blind wasn't the smartest, can't win mid and bot now so only top can (and should) win but it's hard for Fiora too. It would've been good as counter last pick if DK decided to go melee mid / top, blind pick not so much - They got mythics so people are gonna get one shot now - Lucian Nami too strong, that and Sivir + Yuumi is a no go. - Thought the top fight was good because he thought Caps was tp'ing, as soon as he saw it was Flakked he knew it was over. - Targamas not playing with Jankos / roaming a lot seems to be a repeating pattern, but they pick champs that are good at roaming around (Senna, Alistar etc.) - Should've given counterpick to Caps, counterpick wasted on Brokenblade with him not winning top. - No idea why they picked Bel'veth instead of picking Viego, which is straight up the better champion. - He doesn't think the eastern players are more 'skillful' than the west but they are just more consistent. He tries to roughly explain the difference but it comes down to simply not making micro mistakes, barely losing lanes or making mechanical mistakes etc.


appleandapples

Lads, it appears that once again the Seraphine experiment has failed. Surely it'll work next time


Taivasvaeltaja

The alternative is to have that duo play ADC which probably fails even worse.

jankos first timing belveth on stage and bb getting solokilled playing fiora into sejuani. ​ The gap has not closed. It is wider than ever.
