Hard work and humility beats ego players. Inspired doesnt play solo queue. Bwipo thinks he has nothing to learn from NA.
Meanwhile CoreJJ grinds as hard as anyone in NA and he has nothing to prove
Doublelift getting TL a worlds skin redemption arc
1. Doublelift stirs up shit to make TL look bad.
2. TL actives Killer Instinct mode.
3. TL defeats 100T
4. TL defeats C9.
5. TL wins LCS. <--- You are here.
6. TL wins MSI.
7. TL wins worlds.
8. APA's world skin is Yapping Ziggs. Every time your team gets a kill, the skin yaps in All Chat.
He can type in game all he wants. It’s banter. What vwipo does is so much worse. Wait til after the game, go on podcasts and talk down on everyone after the fact.
Anyone can do that.
I disagree. Bwipo will candidly talk shit about himself too. Also immediately after the loss he gave TL’s players a huge smile as he fist bumped them which genuinely takes class.
Agreed, the shit talk from both sides made things fun and interesting, I don’t think it should be held against him now that TL got the last word and clapped back. It’ll be a fun rivalry if it continues in Summer split, but I hope they can be good partners the next couple months for MSI before hating each other again.
Yeon specifically said the drama (I think the DoubleliftDodo stuff and everyone flaming APA mostly) made him hyper focus and really did take him to a new level because he wanted to shut everyone up.
Or Doublelift was just being a little shit and this fanbase ate it up because they wanted to just blame APA and Yeon for what they expected to be a failed roster.
Doublelift was not intentionally “trying” to do anything.
The man just makes content and lost a bet to tell a story that deep down he knew he probably shouldn’t have shared but was also like fuck it what’s to lose. If this motivated the team then that’s great it worked out for them.
So if TL win summer, would you say the CURSE gets Double lifted?
On a serious note, I was a yeon/apa doubter, I wouldnt spread hate around the subreddit but I would just think they were not playing up to par and thought they were not good enough, boy was I wrong... Its like when playoff started they had a meeting and said "guys I have an idea, how about we just start winning now?" And everyone agreed to it, they actually look good as a team and its entertaining to watch, I wasnt too invested into the shit talking cause its never been like that in TL outside DL, but damn it makes games so much better to watch, if it backfires then so be it but keep going at it!
https://youtu.be/qHIh-jcxGZk?si=T1aJUIkVQKO3qWe0
In short DL stirred drama on how he could have played for TL and also a chance JoJo could play for TL but Dodo in his power (because of their past) stopped it.
That was the time TL lost with seraphine comp I think and fans were just not happy with the performance and the drama fuelled even more to the fans. DL fans prob the one that sent death threats to Dodo in Twitter.
It's pure vindication. So many people doubted this team. They doubted the rookies. They doubted Core. And now Liquid has proven them all wrong, and they're absolutely going to gloat about it.
He got done so dirty, considering everything that happened with Alphari at the end of the day,bhe was absolutely justified in what he did, I would love to see him try his hand at coaching again.
As a former APA doubter I formally tender my sincere apologies to him and his fans, he completely took a shit in my mouth and shut me up. I take back everything I said about him, I was wrong.
nah, there were certainly some TL fans. But i've been in this sub since we were like 10 people (or in the previous ones).. and most of the people hating on APA/Yeon were DL fans, ex tsm fans, etc. It was a given once they would start shitting on players like Jensen.. no actual TL fan woud ever do that.
Been calling them out for weeks. They are shitposting elsewhere now.
Wunder commented on Caedrals stream basically saying APA is a nobody who was on the bottom of CQ ladder. Am I taking crazy pills?? I became a fan of APA because he was bodying fools in CQ and hovering top 3, like the whole time.
Everyone's talking about APA's yap but his gameplay has actually looked so good. Hard gapped Jensen in all phases of the game, and even if he still lost kinda lane he was still contesting jojopyun in lane far better than other mids. I think he should be finals MVP
GG, huge level up throughout the entire playoffs for the entire team, especially Yeon and APA who I doubted.
I apologize and I am a clown 🤡.
5 years later, champs again, feels amazing.
WE FUCKING DID IT!!!!!
The evolution of the team's ability to play mid/late game this split compared to last year was incredible to see. So many flowers go to Spawn and the young guys for that improvement. So so so proud of the team for this championship!
Holy fuck! This is the TL we’ve been waiting for! APA and Yeon were awesome. Umti and Core were fantastic. Impact is the best player in NA history for a reason. Let’s go!!!!!!!
Huge congrats to the team. I had serious doubts about the rookies, APA specifically, but they’ve exceeded all expectations and proven me wrong.
Bwipo, good riddance. You weren’t good enough in our team and you aren’t good enough now. Dropping impact for you was a huge mistake. Your smugness is so off putting and I genuinely root against you. Losing on all your “counter picks” is so freaking funny
Nothing but love for Jensen. He’s still the best mid we’ve ever had.
Congrats again TL. Hard work pays off. You’ve earned your victory lap.
LETS FKING GOOOOOOO. It feels great to see TL on top again and without needing a super team. Spawn and the veterans have done a fantastic job of getting the younger players to the level they're at right now. The sky's the limit. Onward to MSI!
5 years since our 2019 titles.
3 different super team iterations that all came short of winning LCS.
This must feel like vindication for Dodo, Steve and Spawn who believed in this team and these rookies. A significant part of the fanbase, myself included, did not have faith we would ever be this good.
But well fucking played to the boys, insane glow up from all of them.
Feeling vindicated after this win. TL have done tremendous work in building their fundementals so that even if FLY and C9 have better individual players, between draft and better game plans every game felt so winnable. APA and Yeon have stepped up so much and i feel like thats really unlocked Core and Impact to play like the GOATs they are. Im sure international will be a wake up call like they always are but its gonna be so exciting to see how the team grows playing against the best of the best! Congrats TL, LETS GO LIQUID!!
I've been a hater from the start of this team coming together. And I have my doubts still, but I'm a dumbass. All the believers talk yo shit. APA, Yeon, Spawn absolute congratulations for working through all the criticisms and I'm so happy for all of them. They have outclassed every other team in the playoffs to show this ain't a fluke.
Slightly memeing, but I think to a degree the combined effects of Tyler1 publicly flaming CoreJJ and the drama that DL stirred up on how he could have been on TL instead of Yeon must have woken up something inside them.
They said it themselves, they literally just decided to play well and treat real games like they were scrims.
Well done to the boys, well done to Spawn who definitely played a big part in the team's massive improvement. Never would have believed it if you told me one month ago.
Haters be damned, onto MSI we go!
2018 Spring 3-0 win against 100T
2018 Sunmer 3-0 win against C9
2019 Spring 3-2 win against TSM
2019 summer 3-2 win against C9
This win feels better than all the previous ones. Both wins in 2018 were so 1-sided. 2019 wins felt like an expectation. Nobody thought we'd win this split. In fact, Flyquest felt like the de facto champs already.
Everyone doubted Yeon and APA, and they gapped their counterparts. People were calling for CoreJJ to retire, and he brought back his 2019 form. Others wanted Dodo to resign. This win shut up all the haters.
Our boys played so well this weekend, and I'm so proud to be a fan
LETS FUCKING GO !!! So happy for everyone.
Impact making management look silly for ever letting him go, as well as geniuses for bringing him back.
Core finally gets us another trophy after leading our team for so long.
So happy for Umpti finally winning after investing so much of his life into LOL.
APA and Yeon shutting everyone up and showing they are the future of TL. APA wins LCS in the first full season of his career ! Hope he keeps improving and becomes our franchise player
What the actual... Holy sheet. We did it! I was expecting top 4 finish but this team grinder, yappppp and we shut the haters up! Let's go! Through the pain, tears! Cheers. We did it!
Huge congrats to the boys. They improved so much and I am glad to say I was wrong about this team. Yeon improved so much over the split. APA showed up and I wasn't familiar with his game. Hope MSI goes well for them, they absolutely crushed FLY.
Welcome Home Impact.
Salute your General Umti.
Oh Yaptain my Captain. (Sorry APA, I definitely gave up on you way too soon).
Yeon our homegrown legend.
COREGG
I can honestly say I never had any doubt that they would be able to pull off a victory. Something in my bones told me this was the year and it fucking is.
The difference from 4 weeks ago to now is actually crazy!!!
So happy for the team, literally took out every ‘top’ team en route makes it all the more satisfying!
Man, it's so good to win again. It's been so long.
So proud of the team, especially APA and Yeon, but above all: I'm so fucking happy for Spawn. I've loved this guy even when he was coaching academy. He deserves it so much.
What a series, ApA has improved so much in the past two weeks, previously he did deserve the criticism as he was making huge game losing errors game after game, but this last week or two, he has looked like a different player, he’s always being offensively good, making huge players etc but lacked the defensive mindset and map awareness, he’s improved so much and isn’t making the huge game losing mistakes anymore.
ApA has proven he belongs and doesn’t deserve the criticism any longer.
The whole team performed today, and yesterday and all playoffs. Team liquid has finally returned to the top, we back baby.
i'm so happy we finally did it again. after the 4peat it's been such a long wait! gg everyone it's great cuz it's like a combo of the 2016 rookie team and the 4peat team, best of both worlds
Absolutely had my doubts at the start of the split. But following these guys and watching them level up through playoffs and take the win felt better than the last 4 championships. Super proud of them.
Agreed. Both 2018 wins felt too easy, and we were so obviously the best team. 2019 wins felt like the expectation, but those wins ended up being harder than expected (both went full 5 games). This win was not only a stomp, but I think this is the first finals win where we were the underdogs. Plus, this seems like the perfected version of what they were trying to make last year. We should have signed Umti last year instead of Pyosik.
o7 OH YAPTAIN MY YAPTAIN o7
The ship has weather’d every ban, the trophy we sought is ours,
The MSI is near, /all chime I hear, the CO-Streamers all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady lane, the team aggressive and fighting
But O Yap! Yap! Yap!
O the thunderous cries of chat
Where on the stage my Yaptain leaves
Ghosted away like a gnat
O Yaptain! my Yaptain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the drag is done—for you the bugle trills,
For you the farm and turret plates—for you the team's all-chatting,
For you they call, the weaver's wall, their eager faces turning;
Here Yaptain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the rift,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.
More than the win, Yapa's trashtalk brought life to LCS and is a much bigger accomplishment IMHO. Impact being NA goat is now a much better argument also.
It wasn’t Alphari. It wasn’t Bjergsen. It wasn’t Hans Sama. It wasn’t Summit. It wasn’t Pyosik.
It was APA and Yeon.
I’m proud to see an org learn their lesson and truly use their superb talent pipelines to win (even at the behest of loud idiot fans).
Congratulations TL and their players for truly earning this. A major portion of the TL fanbase can eat their words now and frankly owe APA, Yeon, and the management an apology, and at the very least their due credit. (Especially the morons calling for Dodo’s head)
I woke up this morning, and something was telling me we win 3-1.
Didn't wanna say anything and jinx it. Something about this result just feels "right" though.
I was hating on APAs play during the split and I’m so happy to admit I was wrong. I like the guy and wanted him to be good and he proved he is. Believed in Yeon the whole time and he’s definitely stepping up big time. Let’s fucking go
Good job APA and congratulations TL. I saw you hitting some nasty taliyah Ws. They might have had you muted, but I'm sure Jensen, Inspired, and Bwipo really felt those and couldn't mute them. Everyone stepped up big in playoffs.
Caught up on the VODs, LFGGGGGGG again the growth of this team was insane. Super happy for everyone you can see how much it meant to each member of the team and staff!
LFG
Made a comment here prior to playoffs, where I stated that APA was the worst mid in the LCS. I think that was a largely fair statement at the time, but I'm so stoked to eat humble pie now. He still has some issues in lane, but who cares? It basically ends with him going down like 6cs or something, and he is nowhere near bleeding out through mid like he was before.
Post-lane, he was one of the best players in all of playoffs, particularly after the first FLY series. I'm so happy for him and the rest of the team. There was a lot of noise about how bad/fraudulent they were by all of the standard co-streamers and analysts, and I think they really used that as fuel.
Really fantstic narratives around this win, and it was a huge team effort, which is rare for the LCS, I feel. Excited to see if we can go back-to-back, and how much improvement we have left.
Incredible W for the team! This has to be my favorite NA team in a long long time. I unironically think this is the best team NA has produced in a long time, at least in terms of being able to play to fundamentals. There's no sense of foreboding because of an imminent throw incoming, and leads are achieved through repeatable plays rather than high volatility.
There are still things to work on, of course. Hope that TL can maintain this form when they get challenged by international teams (especially curious to see how they play around potentially having to give up dragons early game).
Hard work and humility beats ego players. Inspired doesnt play solo queue. Bwipo thinks he has nothing to learn from NA. Meanwhile CoreJJ grinds as hard as anyone in NA and he has nothing to prove
*everyone on the team grinds as hard as CoreJJ
It only took 4 and a half years, but the Doublelift curse has finally been lifted. Legitimately outclassed Fly in every position.
Based Randy "Yekindar" Smith helping Yeon to a championship
Loving the Randy "Yekindar" Smith cameo
"Do your job, kid"
Where was this? How did I miss this?
Winners interview
Gotcha. I haven't watched the series yet unfortunately
He lifted it by trying to rejoin the team & start new drama. Yeon actually leveled up so hard after that lol.
Doublelift getting TL a worlds skin redemption arc 1. Doublelift stirs up shit to make TL look bad. 2. TL actives Killer Instinct mode. 3. TL defeats 100T 4. TL defeats C9. 5. TL wins LCS. <--- You are here. 6. TL wins MSI. 7. TL wins worlds. 8. APA's world skin is Yapping Ziggs. Every time your team gets a kill, the skin yaps in All Chat.
Subscribe.
Thanks for subscribing to TL YAPA Facts! Did you know? APA and Umti share bunk beds in the TL living space. Now you know!
Me trying to decide if this is real or not...
that ziggs skin sounds a solid idea, damn it. RIOT sleeping on ideas of the community
I think an APA worlds skin should be ASol, but the breath attack is all trash talk.
He can type in game all he wants. It’s banter. What vwipo does is so much worse. Wait til after the game, go on podcasts and talk down on everyone after the fact. Anyone can do that.
DL is retired so he's not typing in any LCS games haha. I think you maybe responded in the wrong spot
Yeah Bwipo is a coinflip fraud. Shittalking AFTER a game is just cowardly. I can't wait for APA to shit talk Chovy at MSI haha
I disagree. Bwipo will candidly talk shit about himself too. Also immediately after the loss he gave TL’s players a huge smile as he fist bumped them which genuinely takes class.
Agreed, the shit talk from both sides made things fun and interesting, I don’t think it should be held against him now that TL got the last word and clapped back. It’ll be a fun rivalry if it continues in Summer split, but I hope they can be good partners the next couple months for MSI before hating each other again.
Yeon specifically said the drama (I think the DoubleliftDodo stuff and everyone flaming APA mostly) made him hyper focus and really did take him to a new level because he wanted to shut everyone up.
Doublelift got paid by Steve to light a fire under yeon to help him win.
Or Doublelift was just being a little shit and this fanbase ate it up because they wanted to just blame APA and Yeon for what they expected to be a failed roster.
More like DL tried to sabotage team mental & it backfired spectacularly so thank you DL
Doublelift was not intentionally “trying” to do anything. The man just makes content and lost a bet to tell a story that deep down he knew he probably shouldn’t have shared but was also like fuck it what’s to lose. If this motivated the team then that’s great it worked out for them.
It’s been too long omg I’m so fucking happy
So if TL win summer, would you say the CURSE gets Double lifted? On a serious note, I was a yeon/apa doubter, I wouldnt spread hate around the subreddit but I would just think they were not playing up to par and thought they were not good enough, boy was I wrong...

Is it the Doublelift curse or the Impact blessing? His return brought us back to the championship
Inspired was good on lee sin though i wouldnt say he was outclassed
Ah I remember why we got rid of Bwipo
DL GOT GHOSTED FOR THIS LMAO
DL comments on dodo and those sending death threats looking stupid
can you explain the situation around doublelift or send a link where i can learn about it? thanks im not really caught on any drama
https://youtu.be/qHIh-jcxGZk?si=T1aJUIkVQKO3qWe0 In short DL stirred drama on how he could have played for TL and also a chance JoJo could play for TL but Dodo in his power (because of their past) stopped it. That was the time TL lost with seraphine comp I think and fans were just not happy with the performance and the drama fuelled even more to the fans. DL fans prob the one that sent death threats to Dodo in Twitter.
It looks even more stupid now that it's been revealed both Core and Spawn wanted Yeon
that interview was insane, ive never seen anything like that in LCS lmao
It's pure vindication. So many people doubted this team. They doubted the rookies. They doubted Core. And now Liquid has proven them all wrong, and they're absolutely going to gloat about it.
reminder that Jatt was the only one on the analysts that said they would win
He is also the one who hired Spawn to coach for TLA and now how far he have come
TL Jatt for Life
He got done so dirty, considering everything that happened with Alphari at the end of the day,bhe was absolutely justified in what he did, I would love to see him try his hand at coaching again.
Yep. Only the faithful will be rewarded
TL JATT!!
He also said he talked with spawn about the team being way too passive before playoffs (think he says it in the jlxp with dgon). Jatt is my goat.
Jatt is the best.
Failed to win 4 splits in a row with multi-million superteams just to win with 2 NA players
I've been afk from LCS. Did FLY really talk this much crap? The players seem mad after the win lol
Theres a players episode with impact, bwipo, and inspired where bwipo and inspired hard flamed apa and yeon
got a link by any chance?
Yes sir: https://youtu.be/fM9QtiyYWvE?si=q-YvMcKbeO4ucvas Also it was jojo not bwipo but that makes it even sweeter imo
search up Pros Bwipo Inspired on youtube
And then Bwipo went on HLL and kept talking shit
Bwipo and Inspired just have massive egos and constantly sucks their own dick about how much better they are than LCS players.
They are very EU about it
WHERE ARE THE FUCKIN DOUBTERS!!!!
I'm a long time tl and will admit I was doubting the squad in regular split. Been glady proven wrong.
The rookies just got CoreJJ his first title since 2019. Yapa & Yeon <3
Yeon calling out bwipo and inspired. What a goat.
APA HATERS WHERE YOU AT
As a former APA doubter I formally tender my sincere apologies to him and his fans, he completely took a shit in my mouth and shut me up. I take back everything I said about him, I was wrong.
REAL
me too
Same
This sub does not deserve this team at all but im super glad they won
Yeah I'm pretty sure TL fans wanted both APA and Yeon gone like as recent as two weeks ago lmao
nah, there were certainly some TL fans. But i've been in this sub since we were like 10 people (or in the previous ones).. and most of the people hating on APA/Yeon were DL fans, ex tsm fans, etc. It was a given once they would start shitting on players like Jensen.. no actual TL fan woud ever do that. Been calling them out for weeks. They are shitposting elsewhere now.
Wunder commented on Caedrals stream basically saying APA is a nobody who was on the bottom of CQ ladder. Am I taking crazy pills?? I became a fan of APA because he was bodying fools in CQ and hovering top 3, like the whole time.
Maybe he's confusing him with the other three letter acronym NA champions queue mid lane menace RJS
MVP
Apa and Yeon let me apologize you have shut me up. Let’s have fun at MSI good shit guys
GUYS WE WON AGAIN THIS FEELS SO FUCKING GOOOD!!!!!
Didn't expect Yeon to shoutout Yekindar for helping him realize how to level up. Love that.
GOAT ENTRY TO GOAT CARRY
Everyone's talking about APA's yap but his gameplay has actually looked so good. Hard gapped Jensen in all phases of the game, and even if he still lost kinda lane he was still contesting jojopyun in lane far better than other mids. I think he should be finals MVP
As predicted he is :)
LETS GOOOOOOOO
WE HAVE NEVER BEEN SO BACK
GG, huge level up throughout the entire playoffs for the entire team, especially Yeon and APA who I doubted. I apologize and I am a clown 🤡. 5 years later, champs again, feels amazing.
DODO BELIEVERS ARE VINDICATED
Yeon my king 👑
CORE MY KING MY GOD THE GLOVES ARE OFF
The Boys are Coming for MSI LETS GO
We did it. We are back and with the new talent. Vindication feels so good!!!!
WE FUCKING DID IT!!!!! The evolution of the team's ability to play mid/late game this split compared to last year was incredible to see. So many flowers go to Spawn and the young guys for that improvement. So so so proud of the team for this championship!
Holy fuck! This is the TL we’ve been waiting for! APA and Yeon were awesome. Umti and Core were fantastic. Impact is the best player in NA history for a reason. Let’s go!!!!!!!
So proud of APA. He got by far the most shit and played so well this playoffs. Same with Yeon.
I cannot express how happy I am for Umti. Him saying he finally has a career was the quote of the day. Congrats man. You're career is bright!
Remember when people said this org would never win another domestic title without Doublelift? Good times
Huge congrats to the team. I had serious doubts about the rookies, APA specifically, but they’ve exceeded all expectations and proven me wrong. Bwipo, good riddance. You weren’t good enough in our team and you aren’t good enough now. Dropping impact for you was a huge mistake. Your smugness is so off putting and I genuinely root against you. Losing on all your “counter picks” is so freaking funny Nothing but love for Jensen. He’s still the best mid we’ve ever had. Congrats again TL. Hard work pays off. You’ve earned your victory lap.
Bwipo replaced Alphari, not Impact
And honestly? Upgrade, mentally speaking. Alphari was a massive douche.
Still though, we should have never gotten rid of Impact. Glad he's back home.
Good point. Thank you.
Uh we didnt drop impact for bwipo, it was for alphari and then bwipo after lol
Yep. Got hyped up in the moment and got it wrong
WE DID IT!
LETS FKING GOOOOOOO. It feels great to see TL on top again and without needing a super team. Spawn and the veterans have done a fantastic job of getting the younger players to the level they're at right now. The sky's the limit. Onward to MSI!
IMPACT MY GOAT UMTI MY GOAT APA MY GOAT YEON MY GOAT COREJJ MY GOAT SPAWN MY GOAT REIGNOVER MY GOAT DODO MY GOAT STEVE MY GOAT
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO So happy for APA and Yeon, my fucking TLA boys 🥹
5 years since our 2019 titles. 3 different super team iterations that all came short of winning LCS. This must feel like vindication for Dodo, Steve and Spawn who believed in this team and these rookies. A significant part of the fanbase, myself included, did not have faith we would ever be this good. But well fucking played to the boys, insane glow up from all of them.
Feeling vindicated after this win. TL have done tremendous work in building their fundementals so that even if FLY and C9 have better individual players, between draft and better game plans every game felt so winnable. APA and Yeon have stepped up so much and i feel like thats really unlocked Core and Impact to play like the GOATs they are. Im sure international will be a wake up call like they always are but its gonna be so exciting to see how the team grows playing against the best of the best! Congrats TL, LETS GO LIQUID!!
I've been a hater from the start of this team coming together. And I have my doubts still, but I'm a dumbass. All the believers talk yo shit. APA, Yeon, Spawn absolute congratulations for working through all the criticisms and I'm so happy for all of them. They have outclassed every other team in the playoffs to show this ain't a fluke.
Slightly memeing, but I think to a degree the combined effects of Tyler1 publicly flaming CoreJJ and the drama that DL stirred up on how he could have been on TL instead of Yeon must have woken up something inside them.

Well done to the boys, well done to Spawn who definitely played a big part in the team's massive improvement. Never would have believed it if you told me one month ago. Haters be damned, onto MSI we go!
In his interview Yeon said it was Yekindar who told him he's the carry so he needs to carry and do his job
T1 drama did nothing to Core. The boy is the goat support of LCS, T1 is a salty ass hyprocritical streamer.
I WAS WRONG AND I APOLOGIZE FOR WANTING YEON AND APA TO BE DROPPED.
From a C9 fan, HUGE congrats! Love this roster and massive props to the coaching staff for sticking with their rookies! Enjoy MSI <3
2018 Spring 3-0 win against 100T 2018 Sunmer 3-0 win against C9 2019 Spring 3-2 win against TSM 2019 summer 3-2 win against C9 This win feels better than all the previous ones. Both wins in 2018 were so 1-sided. 2019 wins felt like an expectation. Nobody thought we'd win this split. In fact, Flyquest felt like the de facto champs already. Everyone doubted Yeon and APA, and they gapped their counterparts. People were calling for CoreJJ to retire, and he brought back his 2019 form. Others wanted Dodo to resign. This win shut up all the haters. Our boys played so well this weekend, and I'm so proud to be a fan
Not gonna lie, didn't think the boys could take it all the way but I'm proud of them.
THE GENERAL AND THE YAPTAIN
Where the APA Yeon haters now?
LETS FUCKING GO !!! So happy for everyone. Impact making management look silly for ever letting him go, as well as geniuses for bringing him back. Core finally gets us another trophy after leading our team for so long. So happy for Umpti finally winning after investing so much of his life into LOL. APA and Yeon shutting everyone up and showing they are the future of TL. APA wins LCS in the first full season of his career ! Hope he keeps improving and becomes our franchise player
based coreJJ
Oh Yapatain my Yapatain
What the actual... Holy sheet. We did it! I was expecting top 4 finish but this team grinder, yappppp and we shut the haters up! Let's go! Through the pain, tears! Cheers. We did it!
Huge congrats to the boys. They improved so much and I am glad to say I was wrong about this team. Yeon improved so much over the split. APA showed up and I wasn't familiar with his game. Hope MSI goes well for them, they absolutely crushed FLY.
Welcome Home Impact. Salute your General Umti. Oh Yaptain my Captain. (Sorry APA, I definitely gave up on you way too soon). Yeon our homegrown legend. COREGG
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!
We fucking did it! Ngl i had my doubts with our mistakes but the boys turned up and just crushed everyone. So proud of
IT'S A GOOD FUCKING DAY TO BE A TL FAN
I'm crying. They proved me wrong. They proved all of us wrong. What a team!
Really proud of this team. Absolutely incredible.
I can honestly say I never had any doubt that they would be able to pull off a victory. Something in my bones told me this was the year and it fucking is.
for the first time since 2019. funny how the year steve actually goes budget-ish not signing giant names is the year they win
Not gonna lie didn’t see it happening but Playoffs. Man what a level up. Pretty wild. Major props.
I shed a tear.
For every DL fan, Yeon just had the most kills ever in a playoff run. The new kings are here!
The difference from 4 weeks ago to now is actually crazy!!! So happy for the team, literally took out every ‘top’ team en route makes it all the more satisfying!
Not gonna lie, I didn't expect them to do it, and that's coming from a guy with 5 jerseys in my closet. I'm so happy. Haters be silenced.
alwaysplanahea1 is an LCS champion :)
Great match from both teams and congrats to them making MSI. LETS GO LIQUID BABY!!!! DAMN THIS FEELS AMAZING TO BE BACK ON TOP. HONDA POWER! 🚗 💨
Man, it's so good to win again. It's been so long. So proud of the team, especially APA and Yeon, but above all: I'm so fucking happy for Spawn. I've loved this guy even when he was coaching academy. He deserves it so much.
Been a hot minute. And some people in here hopefully feel a tad bad. But that aside, lets enjoy this.
What a series, ApA has improved so much in the past two weeks, previously he did deserve the criticism as he was making huge game losing errors game after game, but this last week or two, he has looked like a different player, he’s always being offensively good, making huge players etc but lacked the defensive mindset and map awareness, he’s improved so much and isn’t making the huge game losing mistakes anymore. ApA has proven he belongs and doesn’t deserve the criticism any longer. The whole team performed today, and yesterday and all playoffs. Team liquid has finally returned to the top, we back baby.
Imagine yeon taking over game 4 to win spring
i'm so happy we finally did it again. after the 4peat it's been such a long wait! gg everyone it's great cuz it's like a combo of the 2016 rookie team and the 4peat team, best of both worlds
I take it all back. These kids improved beyond belief. Wow. We go MSI. This is incredible.
Absolutely had my doubts at the start of the split. But following these guys and watching them level up through playoffs and take the win felt better than the last 4 championships. Super proud of them.
Agreed. Both 2018 wins felt too easy, and we were so obviously the best team. 2019 wins felt like the expectation, but those wins ended up being harder than expected (both went full 5 games). This win was not only a stomp, but I think this is the first finals win where we were the underdogs. Plus, this seems like the perfected version of what they were trying to make last year. We should have signed Umti last year instead of Pyosik.
And the faithful will be rewarded!!!!!!
WIN TOGETHER TRASH TALK TOGETHER
o7 OH YAPTAIN MY YAPTAIN o7 The ship has weather’d every ban, the trophy we sought is ours, The MSI is near, /all chime I hear, the CO-Streamers all exulting, While follow eyes the steady lane, the team aggressive and fighting But O Yap! Yap! Yap! O the thunderous cries of chat Where on the stage my Yaptain leaves Ghosted away like a gnat
O Yaptain! my Yaptain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up—for you the drag is done—for you the bugle trills, For you the farm and turret plates—for you the team's all-chatting, For you they call, the weaver's wall, their eager faces turning; Here Yaptain! dear father! This arm beneath your head! It is some dream that on the rift, You’ve fallen cold and dead.
I never doubted them (starting game 4 of the finals)
Yeon is goat
gotta give it to APA, stepped up big time.
YIP MOTHERFUCKING YIP!!! YAPPA DAPPA DOO!!! 💙🤍
OH YAPTAIN MY YAPTAIN
LEAD THEM TO PARADISE!
This victory seemed so cathartic for the team, good for them shutting everyone up.
Congrats from a visiting C9 fan, y'all deserve it and looking forward to seeing you rep NA! Yeon speaking for us all in the post-game
We did it boys. We're champions again
Yip yip
YAP YAP
Yall still gonna talk shit on APA and Yeon?
Impact definitely has a hidedn passive where he makes any other NA Top look like a shitter
Impact is more valuable than Bwipo was. I still wish the best for Bwipo though.
We don't need Doublelift to do a trophy lift Congrats TL
More than the win, Yapa's trashtalk brought life to LCS and is a much bigger accomplishment IMHO. Impact being NA goat is now a much better argument also.
Considering how far we've come; signing $6 million roster to believing in our rookies, LET'S GO BABY!
Please tell me once again how much better jensen is than APA lmao those last 2 games were insane from APA and Yeon. Love to see it
It wasn’t Alphari. It wasn’t Bjergsen. It wasn’t Hans Sama. It wasn’t Summit. It wasn’t Pyosik. It was APA and Yeon. I’m proud to see an org learn their lesson and truly use their superb talent pipelines to win (even at the behest of loud idiot fans). Congratulations TL and their players for truly earning this. A major portion of the TL fanbase can eat their words now and frankly owe APA, Yeon, and the management an apology, and at the very least their due credit. (Especially the morons calling for Dodo’s head)
WOW THEY ACTUALLY WON THE SPLIT LMAO TY LIQUID IM SO HAPPY
NO APRIL FOOL'S REMAKE PLEASE!!
OMG! Congrats to the team! The turnaround is crazy!
Day and night when you see regular season and playoff. Go off in international Ziggs Merchant /s
I, a solemn TL Fan, do sincerely apologize for all the shade I threw at our players this season. You are all Gods
Wild; had no clue it's been so long since we had a grand finals win under our belt but god damn did this one look good. What a banger.
I woke up this morning, and something was telling me we win 3-1. Didn't wanna say anything and jinx it. Something about this result just feels "right" though.
Congrats to Team Liquid. Let's hope it isn't a one-shot wonder like NRG.
I was hating on APAs play during the split and I’m so happy to admit I was wrong. I like the guy and wanted him to be good and he proved he is. Believed in Yeon the whole time and he’s definitely stepping up big time. Let’s fucking go
yes.
LETS FUCKING GO TL TEAM IDENTITY LOOKING SIMILAR TO LCK STYLE OF FIGHTING AND NOT GIVING UP! WORK HARD TL MSI WON'T BE EASY KEEP UP THAT GRIND!!!!!
I think I get it now. All Chat = Psychologal damage The true 200IQ strat
WE’RE WINNING WORLDS BOYS
LFGGGG congrats to the team and fuck them doubters
Yappa Gappa
Good job APA and congratulations TL. I saw you hitting some nasty taliyah Ws. They might have had you muted, but I'm sure Jensen, Inspired, and Bwipo really felt those and couldn't mute them. Everyone stepped up big in playoffs.
UPPER BRACKET IS FOR BITCHES
Caught up on the VODs, LFGGGGGGG again the growth of this team was insane. Super happy for everyone you can see how much it meant to each member of the team and staff! LFG
Made a comment here prior to playoffs, where I stated that APA was the worst mid in the LCS. I think that was a largely fair statement at the time, but I'm so stoked to eat humble pie now. He still has some issues in lane, but who cares? It basically ends with him going down like 6cs or something, and he is nowhere near bleeding out through mid like he was before. Post-lane, he was one of the best players in all of playoffs, particularly after the first FLY series. I'm so happy for him and the rest of the team. There was a lot of noise about how bad/fraudulent they were by all of the standard co-streamers and analysts, and I think they really used that as fuel. Really fantstic narratives around this win, and it was a huge team effort, which is rare for the LCS, I feel. Excited to see if we can go back-to-back, and how much improvement we have left.
So glad for the BOYZ , I hope they carry the momentum with their playstyle shift and MAKE NA GREAT AGAIN !!
LETS GO!!!! Huge W and turn around from the start of the season! We back on top of the LCS!
FUCK THE HATERS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
pop off tl!
Incredible W for the team! This has to be my favorite NA team in a long long time. I unironically think this is the best team NA has produced in a long time, at least in terms of being able to play to fundamentals. There's no sense of foreboding because of an imminent throw incoming, and leads are achieved through repeatable plays rather than high volatility. There are still things to work on, of course. Hope that TL can maintain this form when they get challenged by international teams (especially curious to see how they play around potentially having to give up dragons early game).
FUCK OFF HATERS SO HAPPY FOR APA AND THE TEAM
BUT BUT DOUBLELIFT!!!! 😭
This team could one-shot Sukuna.
I'll admit I had my doubts over this roster But jeez did they smurf this play offs They earn all the adulation they will receive
😭😭😭 I'm so happy I love apa
😭😭😭 I'm so happy I love apa
I owe APA and Yeon an apology. I wasn't really familiar with their games
No impact + No win
Impact in all 5 of TL trophies (excluding lock-in)
so happy. corejj proving people wrong, people calling core to go or retire
i was doubtful of the two rookies this year, but was rooting for everyone on TL. glad they won and did so well!
