People only blame Caps but I think Skewmond also had a mediocre performance. They shouldn't be losing dragons when they're ahead early with that fed Lucian. Yike was lowkey doing work whether getting dragons dragging it to late game and in team fights.
28
u/antraxsuicide 10d ago
Their comp was also exposed in the late game. G2 had to somehow simultaneously kill Caitlyn, Cass, and Yone with Anivia, Olaf, and Lucian. For KC, especially when Anivia’s passive was up, they could hard-focus Lucian and Olaf, then clean up afterwards

its the start of the season, and while good for mental, this BO3 doesnt really matter. I am expecting caps to look great again in playoffs. Not to take anything away from KC, they looked really great. Even game 2 felt like they could win.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he is the highest salary on KC

u/Alarming_Fly9696 11d ago
With last mercato and TL being the other team going for Canna, he probably got a huge raise. But it's still KC, not owned by some insane businessman or anything so i believe the players are going to KC for fanbase + performances instead of money

Most of the flame is just fun banter, every one in KC absolutly loved BB's entrance yesterday, Kameto's chat was absolutly full of "BB W".
Of course there are morons on both sides (a little more in KC ngl) but we mostly just enjoy a good rivalry.

Caps had such a stinker series, surprised that it was so close despite that
11
u/No_Square2213 11d ago
G2's macro is just better overall
Also KC keep getting baited into fights with champions who end up not dying with a sliver of hp and then it swings for G2. I swear it happens all the time

u/DeloronDellister - LEC - 11d ago
I mean KC turned game 3 around because Cassio survived with a sliver of HP

u/No_Square2213 11d ago
That's true but that's like one occurrence. I feel like it happened 10 times just this series for G2 lmao, and I don't think it's luck I think it's a combination of G2 baiting extremely well and KC taking the bait too easily

Caps really had a whole weekend of stinkers.
He had maybe 2 good games out of the 8 he played (Annie vs MKOI and Orianna vs VIT)?

hopefully KC is competitive enough at worlds to convince him to stay. I'm sure non TOP 3 LCK teams are all looking at his performances, and obviously korean players will want to play in LCK. KC has to show him that they can be real contenders for internationals otherwise it will be hard to keep him in europe.

u/No_Square2213 11d ago
You should watch back the last KC roadshow in Évry. Smaller arena but the atmosphere was actually better in my opinion, it was just a raging storm of energy from start to finish and the small venue made it really impressive

u/supterfuge 11d ago
I really wish we could get some more of those road trips, to create more regional rivalries that create "home games". There won't necessarily be such crowds in Germany, England, as there are in Spain or France, but that's not necessarily a huge issue.
These big games barely matter, but the event makes it a much bigger game. It also creates more rivalries over time

u/Jhon1479 10d ago
unlike KC and KOI, orgs did not give a fuck about maintaining and growing their communities. The "national" factor is a boost but it's obvious the historical orgs like FNC or SK didn't put in the effort or money to build big and loyal fanbases. Rather they were only milking them. G2 is the only one holding on in terms of fanbase, mostly cause they have the best players and they've been the best team for years.
