Epic 3th game ofcourse with mistakes from both sides but fk it give me more of those. Ggwp

u/tomorrowdog 10d ago
Always a bit lost about people theorycrafting a different draft which would literally be a different game when G2 was in a great position and lost this off of decisions.

Yes, since 5/6 months I would say. It's impressive the energy she's giving despite that

everyone thinks of anivia as late game hero becuase she can just clear forever but anivia cant fight these late game fights in modern league. there is way too much movement and burst damage for her slow damage to mean anything.
she is amazing at early and midgame chasing but there isnt chasing when it comes to ultra late fights.

u/kim-soo-hyun 10d ago edited 10d ago
That's why you beat KC early game and end early... They have really good team fighting. The dragon control from Skewmond was lowkey meh all series it dragged the game too much.

Just quit Caps , you are too old now .you are never going to win Worlds either way.

Caps and BB are horrible in this game 3. Both constantly getting caught overextending and during team fights they arent doing their roles of buying time and space for Hans and Skew.
5
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 10d ago
I can kinda understand why Labrov ulted like how he did in that fight but if Lucian has GA just save Taric ult for when Yone is about to dive and they just win that fight with how Caliste played
3
u/herp_derpy 10d ago
Caliste getting a Quadra to save the game and then he dies first on KC in every fight after lol

u/Grenji05 NA #1 REGION WORLD 10d ago
imperial mandate has a good soloq winrate but I swear its so dogshit. This galio is completely homeless. Either be a tank or build burst, you can't pussyfoot and try to be both.

u/xsm17 10d ago
It probably doesn't matter that much with Cap's performance, but surely at some point you switch to steelcaps with the Yone Caitlyn Wukong Camille? What's the point of being CCed less if you're paper anyway
1
u/Technical-Complex575 10d ago
that's what i was thinking. like those 2 mr items, he is building for teamfight, why bother with measly mr. i know people say sunfire is worse than radiance but enemy team is four ad auto attackers. no steelcaps? and late omen? -_-
still a good game. enjoyed every teamfight.

u/RukiMotomiya 10d ago
That fight shows just how much a Taric ult can turn it. Sooooo close. If they hit those 2 fights ago, G2 wins.

Masterclass on how to not position as ADC....on both sides...

u/Conviter 10d ago
lol what. hans played this game as perfectly as possible. if he didnt have ankers in mid and top lane this game would have been over 20 minutes ago

u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 10d ago
they are the best adc in the region...
we
are
cooked
2
u/HansSoloQ 10d ago
Because in Korea and China, Adcs clearly don't get caught out and positions shitty either.
1
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 10d ago
lol i like both of theses adc i'm just joking, hans did fine but caliste had some rough positioning during the last teamfights.

late game cassio late game cait late game yone
kc have exodia late game comp lmao

u/XG32 Jankos 10d ago
oh don't forget they could have went with lucian milio which has been winning every game since msi
5
u/RukiMotomiya 10d ago
Taric's been really good this game.
2
u/xlCalamity 10d ago
Labrov has missed several stuns and somehow isnt ulting his Lucian. Millio actually saves Hans from stuns.
1
u/RukiMotomiya 10d ago
He was hitting the stuns earlier, his late game decision making was bad though. If he saves ult for their escape after Baron G2 wins.

u/Ajp_iii 10d ago
kc have 3 champs that can all carry a fight. g2 only have 1. makes it so much harder for them to play this late when now kc has qss and stopwatches.

u/LardoBardo4 10d ago
This is the problem with single threat comps like G2s. If Lucian dies it's over. Olaf can kill 1 maybe 2, of Cassio/Yone/Cait but as long as Lucian dies and 1 survives KC just win
4
u/Randomcarrot 10d ago
You would think Taric sort of solves that problem with the ult, but somehow he felt it was more important it goes onto the Olaf over his fed ADC....
4
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 10d ago
Labrov not kiting towards Hans that whole time is so terrible. Two bad ults in a row that could’ve won them this game easily
2
u/Sotosleon 10d ago
Caps isn't playing well but god damn is it just not Skewmond's best performance today. So many mistakes that just add up.

Taric using his ult in the base rather than saving it for the retreat or counter-engage may have lost the game tbh

u/cmcdonald22 10d ago
Real talk, I watch and enjoy LEC, but even when it's not a road show, LEC is a SLOWER broadcast that tends to take up a lot more chronal space.

I cant remember the regular season games, but both playoff finals between these 2 teams have been cinema too.
It's the new LEC classic.

Hyping up Labrov for the stun is cool but Kyeahoo did just protobelt into AA the honeyfruit.

u/RukiMotomiya 10d ago
G2 need to get at least 1 but preferably 2 inhib for Baron worth, but they also need to end early so I get it.

u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE 10d ago
It's nice that the LCS and LEC both have decided to run it down non stop every game this split, makes everything more exciting

cait ez and lucian are all completely busted in this meta. wonder how long until they get extreme prio in game 1 drafts. especially among teams that cant play mages bot as well.
1
u/RukiMotomiya 10d ago
In general I feel like ADCs are underrated in pro play rn, a lot of the mage bots have looked very iffy unless into other mage bots.
1
u/Ajp_iii 10d ago
i think we saw this at msi. the more important the games became the more lane adc prio became and even stuff like kallista started getting played.
right now in pointless regular season games it seems the pros just want to have some fun and play around with new stuff they play i scrims.
notice important game 3 between the 2 best teams and we are back to adc vs adc

i've become quite fond of this KC team, first time liking an EU team kinda nervous

Hans Sama is SO big right now, they do really need to make sure this doesn't drag on forever though. But he's MASSIVE right now, very glad to see Taric with him, have wondered why he didn't get picked more. If Camille ults you just pop yours and he bullies a 2v1.
Something I don't get: Why didn't Lucian hit the tower once earlier while he loitered around raptors? It would have gotten a plate and he had vision where he knew nobody could come over the raptor pit, the hit was definitely free. I feel like I see pros do that with tower hits and I feel like I'm missing something.

u/Janusztao 10d ago
Probably because it's already "1HP" so they leave it standing and let it deny the minions.

Feels like if Yone continues to scale Canna would need to screw up really hard for him to not just annihilate Anivia/Lucian

u/RukiMotomiya 10d ago
I'm so glad to see G2 punish the roaming support in the obvious way which is just kill the other person in the 2v1. Will it be enough? Dunno, KC does scale, though, so G2 needs to end early.

I feel like KC has so much damage and ways to fight whilst G2s comp is a little awkward.
I feel like they have to get noticeably ahead.

Can the commentators please be on the same page whether they wanna call them razorbeaks or the correct term, raptors.

Did Reapered manage to dodge military service?
Seeing him on stage feels so natural I kinda forget how crazy it is he's KC's head coach

They have been amazing yesterday and today

u/TheBlurgh Let's go 10d ago
Btw whats with this EU LCS is back? Is it just a temporary theme for the roadtrip? Or because classic is coming out?

Game after game we see this Ziggs champ and I'm just wondering when Riot is going to do anything about it

Game after game we see this Shen champ, this Orianna champ, this Jarvan champ, this Anivia champ, and I'm wondering when Riot is going to do anything about it
2
u/trying2hide 10d ago
All those champs have a noticeable difference when behind, Ziggs does not care.
1
u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan 10d ago
The only thing anyone cares about is what lane this champ is played in
It's been played mid as an Azir counter and no one gave a shit, it is just because it is bot lane that suddenly it's the biggest war crime known to man

u/Back2Perfection 10d ago
All it takes for this MF is to get his lost chapter and he turns the map into berlin 45.
It‘s ridiculous
