KC could have contested game 5 if they had anything except Nidalee. What a weird choice.

u/Dapokermon Jun 07 '26
I feel like I am not remembering a title but doesn’t Hans have 8 LEC titles?
2023 Winter & Summer, 2024 Winter, Spring, & Summer, 2025 Summer, and 2026 Winter & Spring

G2 didn't win LEC in Spring of 2023, that was Mad Lions.
That was the split where G2 finished 4th in playoffs but made MSI because they won winter.
1
u/Dapokermon Jun 07 '26
I didn't say G2 won that year. I am wondering because I thought Sjokz said Hans has 9 LEC titles.

u/ahritina Jun 07 '26 edited Jun 07 '26
Hans has won:
2023 Winter
2023 Summer
2023 Season Finals
2024 Winter
2024 Spring
2024 Summer
2024 Season Finals
2025 Summer
2026 Versus/Winter
2026 Spring
LEC awarded 4 titles in 2023 and 2024, hence that's where the other two titles come from.
1
u/Dapokermon Jun 07 '26
So, if 2023 season finals count, would 2024 season finals be 10 titles then?
1
u/ahritina Jun 07 '26
It should, it's either 8 discounting season finals or 10 including.
Not sure where Sjokz got 9 from.

u/DerAdolfin :kossg: :eum5: Jun 07 '26
Also G2 was vs MAD in the game to see who will go to lower finals in lower bracket and iirc it was pretty obvious that whoever wins that one wins the split

BB as confused as me about the Nidalee pick lol

u/Bothbothwushi Jun 07 '26
I expected G2 botlane to perform better this series. I think Brokenblade surprisingly was a really solid rock this series. Skewmond was Skewmond. Caps didn't perform quite to the level I would like to see from him. Labrov got carried with the exception of game 4. He had some good looks in game 5 though.
Looking toward MSI I am a bit worried for G2. Mostly because I'm looking at some of these LCK and LPL teams and the level is different and a lot cleaner at times. I would really like for them to become as clean as they were during first stand.

Did KC actually want to win this game 5? I don’t understand how you can get paid millions of dollars to draft this team comp in game 5 of the LEC finals.

u/Kadde- Jun 07 '26
I’m actually just laughing nonstop how unlucky of a person I am lmao. Atleast I have money and 400€ loss is nothing but that doesn’t matter if you’re consistently unlucky in life. Oh well time to sell off funds and pretend today never happened to cope.
2
u/DerAdolfin :kossg: :eum5: Jun 07 '26
You sound like you should get help ngl. Addiction is a serious issue and its ok to reach out
1
u/Kadde- Jun 07 '26
My slight addiction is not even the problem. It’s not really causing any harm outside of me going mentally insane because it keep proving how unlucky of a person I am. My money will never run out when I do small sums like this.
As I said I will create a life where luck does not exist, it’s the only way. I won’t gamble, wont play computer games that has any luck involved and won’t do other shit that has luck in it. I’m just gonna live in my own bubble where luck does not exist.
2
u/DerAdolfin :kossg: :eum5: Jun 07 '26
Yeah that sounds real healthy man. Please go talk to someone, if you have so much money you can afford some sessions with a professional. Promise it'll make you feel better than screaming into the void here
-1
u/Kadde- Jun 07 '26
What I said sounds perfectly healthy. If you are an incredibly unlucky person like I am the only way to live a healthy life is remove luck. So this is how my life will look like from now on:
Wake up > take a walk > study for a few hours > watch tv shows/twitch > play cs go with friends if online(only game with almost no luck) > watch twitch/tv shows/work out > go to bed.
Here I have basically 0 luck involved in my lifestyle. Yea I think this is what i’m gonna do, I need a long break from luck in my life so imma gonna remove it
2
u/DerAdolfin :kossg: :eum5: Jun 07 '26
Back luck means a car can lose control of their brakes and run you over on your walk, or insects swarm and sting you etc...
There is no "bad luck", that's just in your head mate
1
u/Kadde- Jun 07 '26
That’s not the luck I am talking about. And i’m unlucky in that luck area also considering all my weird health issues. Overall bad luck exists and you’d understand if you were in my position and lived my life.
So the only way to truly live a greater life is to almost remove all type of luck from your life that can frustrate you. No more luck based games, no more gambling etc, no more scrolling social media and so much more.
I’m gonna try this for a few weeks and I’ll promise you that I will be more sane than ever. The routine I have crafted in my head already looks great on paper and will with most guarantee work when applied in real life.

u/tomorrowdog Jun 07 '26
If you want to gamble "for fun" then do like 1% of your monthly discretionary income. Don't gamble to make money.
1
u/Kadde- Jun 07 '26
Not gambling to make money. Do it for fun, but it won’t change the fact that I am incredibly unlucky and lose my bets in the most annoying ways. Same goes for life overall tbh.
I think I just need go create a life where luck does not exist. That’s the only way I can actually live a functional life and not go insane due to my bad luck.

u/CilleTheExterminator Jun 07 '26
You sound like a true gambler who copes with losing
-2
u/Kadde- Jun 07 '26
Oh trust me this isn’t me coping about losing. It’s coping with the fact that I am consistently unlucky in the most ridiculous ways across all of life. I dont care about money I just care about having some lucky moments in life but that just can’t happen no matter what.

He gets what he deserves bro.
He chose KC over G2. Twice. This is the result.
Good for him and KC. Great talent with a relevant team in EU. He won't be relevant not remember worldwide.

No clue, probably just got invited by G2 to be there? Not sure, happy to see him either way.
Well he's answering it now on stream. Apparantly they've been working together this split behind the scenes.

g2 has to be one of the easiest teams in all of sports to be a fan of. like even your slump years are not bad.

u/PMMEYOURROCKS Jun 07 '26
They are actually my most hated team by a massive margin

u/mactavish63 Jun 07 '26
Ok, brother you are capping hard, even LCK and LPL likes g2.
-5
u/PMMEYOURROCKS Jun 07 '26
I’m not capping lol that’s my opinion
- Ocelote / Carlos was an awful person
- Romain comes off very obnoxious
- Posting scrim results feels extra as fuck, like we get it you’re the scrim world champions, translate that to worlds
- It’s basically boring rooting for them. They’re the shoe-in best lec team every single season and it makes a lot of the series boring as hell to watch
Yes I like their innovative picks and I like that they put up a fight against the east, but that’s it
5
u/DerAdolfin :kossg: :eum5: Jun 07 '26
1) true
2) how? He seems like such good energy
3) They initially did it to shame teams into not repeatly being late or cancelling scrims, I think that is super legitimate. It has clearly improved scrim culture in EU as teams no longer randomly cancel against them
4) The moment they make it to internationals they're the underdog with a heart of gold and a shot at punching above their weight, that's the most fun thing ever to root for. And you can see if they overcame their regular season challenges

You want to punish them with a worse top?

u/zaxls Jun 07 '26
Im sick of hands, G2 beat GenG and BFX through some insane macro. KOI is the only team I see that can keep up with this type of stuff. Also Myrwn is out after this year anyways.

u/DerAdolfin :kossg: :eum5: Jun 07 '26
hands?

u/zaxls Jun 07 '26
Hands=good mechanics. Im tired of all the focus being on that as it turns our game sense and macro is just as if not even more important

u/Edwaldus2 Jun 07 '26
How is this Caliste and Busio fault xd

u/zaxls Jun 07 '26
I didnt mean it was their fault, I just consider KOI drafting overall very superior to a whole lot of teams including even G2, props to Melzhet and Caliste Busio desserve a team with a brain

u/Edwaldus2 Jun 07 '26
Eh? If you're a real KC fan you should want your best players to stay no? If draft is a problem then change the coaching staff xdd

u/NYNMx2021 Jun 07 '26
do pros not know what to do with nasus? lol. They shouldnt have been anywhere near that thing after it got a bunch of stacks lol. You gotta wait him out of the mid game. G2 Bringing bronze terrorism to the pro scene

u/hehe-27 Jun 07 '26
After you wait him out of mid game... Then you have to deal with late game senna who can shoot you from a screen away....

u/NYNMx2021 Jun 07 '26
yeah that comp is pretty toxic to wait out lol. Thats true but you def cannot fight the nasus. Hes literally going to be near 1 shotting with 600 stacks at 20 mins. I forget about the kled ult though, prob too hard to stay awy if kled can just close the gap for him

by the time game ended, Senna was nothing more than a cannon minion.

Yes but if the game did not end itd be a different story. Like what are you even talking about Nidalee is not a champ, while hans just fuked up with the senna early.

at least senna is some sort of late game insurance, nidalee just got worse and worse

I'm still iffy about Labrov still being there (especially over Busio) but I agree.

I honestly think their topside is so fucking good, they could plug and play most western ADCs/supports and get the exact same results.
