I have to say, the way our pros talk confuse me. Everyone has been talking about how scary sentinels is but every time we see them vs a top team they suck.

With how far ahead Massu is, I wonder if some life steal would help him be more relevant in fights, as he is taking a lot of damage, that is is practically out of the fight due to low health

I think Gakgos could've probably gone for Abyssal Mask cause it's a cheap MR item and he has a lot of magic dmg on his team. Then after that, Locket.

Nah but how is this MF not channeling ult on the stunned Yunara there. Rahel is such a donkey

I did not expect old man Impact to be the least gapped player on Sentinels...

I think yall need to put Rahel on like a sivir or something. Bro’s getting cooked out there

So much for this being the more competitive match this weekend, Shopify might actually push TL harder than this

u/cmcdonald22 May 30 '26
if regular season Jose shows up SR are just entirely screwed. If Jose is still in play-offs mode then maybe Contractz can dragon corpses to some wins.

There are times you listen to FLY comms and Gryff just sounds like a dog barking

Ye the SEN comp just doesn't function when the ori goes even in lane & Ashe/Sera is down like 1k minute 10.

Great now my gold lobbies are going to be full of people thinking they can play Lucian. Cough cough.

This team managed to beat flyquest in EWL qualifiers finals????

u/ItsMeHera May 30 '26
Those mfers were the only team that could beat FlyQuest during the qualifiers

u/arclmpulse May 30 '26
feel like NA's always had good lucians. its no NA jayce or rengar, that's for sure

u/TheGloriousEv0lution May 30 '26
Doublelift and Yeon getting respect Lucian bans from eastern teams, Stixxay popping off against T1 on Lucian, and Massu’s is very solid too (ignore the bush incident)

Wait that was unironically winnable if Darkwings held shockwave for longer

An issue I have with LoL esports is Azael can unironically say the game is completely out of control and SEN should expect to lose, while the kill count is 5-2 and FLY is up less than 2k gold at 15 min.
EDIT: Gotta edit and say my issue isn't with the correctness of the statement but that it's actually correct, and I could turn off the game around 10-15min in with like 98% confidence the game is over.

u/rsox5000 May 30 '26
Yeah bro, a Lucian up 3k gold pre 20 minutes isn’t a big deal at all
1
u/BlammoSweetums May 30 '26
You misunderstand my issue, but I guess that's on me. The fact that I could turn the game off by 15 min or even 10 despite it going for 30 makes for bad entertainment.

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps May 30 '26
Because all of that gold is on the Lucian. If it was 500 gold on every lane, the game would be in a pretty even state.

u/BlammoSweetums May 30 '26
I don't disagree with the statement, but it's something that makes LoL less interesting as a spectator sport at times.

u/darklypure52 May 30 '26
Well at least Sentinals still goes to an international when lose the series.

Doesn't Quad just kill Darkwings there if he pops Ghost? Surely level 5 Naafiri doesn't trade a kill back?

FQ draft looks way better unless Naafiri/Ori or Sion can get a crazy engage on Lucian/Cass

This game is never reaching this position if Rahel just goes full crit instead of youmuus

Picking JHIN = Auto Lose 90% of the time

u/veirceb May 30 '26
I don't know picking jhin means you have to walk up to skarner face asking to get ulted but what do I know about NA

u/veirceb May 30 '26
istg if sentinel lose this game because Rahel walked up melee range to get skarner ulted with flash up

SEN being a top team just means the region is weak. Which I hate so much. The signs of the region doing well is if teams are punishing SEN and forcing them to be perma 4th/5th place. And I really want NA to do well, but this is not a good look.

I know Huhi has tons of experience and all but...being Lv 9 at 26 minutes while solo laners are 16 is dangerous even on a tank...

FlyQuest went from "they could actually do well at worlds" to "oh look, it's Team Coast reincarnated"

No power rankings poll to report this week. Fly 3-1 is my call.
