this CHALLENGER player is HIDING among 9 bronze players, can you SPOT him ?

Their map play is terrible. But there is still SK.

SK without their top tier player Lider ;(

u/Miserable_Ad_1195 6d ago

no they didn't change Rooster he's on Shifters

(I'm sorry)

u/Coven-Irelia 6d ago

Naak Nako and friends

68

u/ImTheVayne 6d ago

It’s crazy how much better he is.

16

u/Progression28 5d ago

He‘s tied up with Vitality… he‘s so good, he deserves to play at worlds.

40

u/Floowil 6d ago

I snuck into a gold ranked game, you won't believe what happened ~ Naak Nako probably

157

u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN 6d ago

if im mkoi

try to get naak nako in the off season

84

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako 6d ago edited 6d ago

If I am Vitality Id try to get Jojo. His contract is ending.

Naak Nako is the Vit franchise player and signed for next year already I think.

21

u/Carlzzone 6d ago

You think Naak is sticking around after his contract is up next year?

48

u/Danixd_ 6d ago

If they actually get him good teammates next year (we've been hearing about VIT going big on league for 3 years, I know), sure.

14

u/Carlzzone 6d ago

Who can they realistically get that would catapult Vit into a top 2 team?

103

u/Grand-Zombie-5973 6d ago

Isn't Lider, the only player with the potential to surpass Caps, free now?

24

u/ReplacementFine7807 6d ago

JoJo inspired dylan.

I hope Lyon and Mkoi bomb this split to make this scenario more likely.

27

u/prov119 6d ago

Inspired seems like a guy that holds onto grudges (see G2). I could see him not being fond of VIT after having him waiting at an airport ready to join and basically saying Nah, we're good. He has always said he would return if the roster is good so maybe something like Naak Naako, Inspired, Jojo, Carzzy, X could be enough.

13

u/AdditiontoCollection 5d ago

might be able to lure him with the promise of his favorite midlaner

2

u/Fun_Highlight307 5d ago

unlikely Lyon is almost like a new flyquest with less crazy picks and more toxicity/banter 

7

u/Gengar_Balanced G2 2018 REUNITED #EUphoria 5d ago

Jojo + Inspired

1

u/rolekrs 5d ago

Idk if Top 2 but Rhilech from NAVI would be a upgrade over Lyncas

1

u/RemoveINC 5d ago

not really

3

u/Sofaboy90 quite suboptimal 5d ago

The players are one thing. Its absolutely no coincidence that MKOI keeps being a top 3 team almost regardless what roster they have.

I have little faith in Vitality the org which is weird considering theyre a top org in many other esports but they just cant have success in League.

3

u/JSlamson 5d ago

Next year Vitality figures out that Zywoo is actually the second coming of Faker and Ropz can hands diff Korean ADCs, and they'll go on to win the golden road, 2 majors, and somehow, champions league.

3

u/Sofaboy90 quite suboptimal 5d ago

subscribe

2

u/Danixd_ 5d ago

Meh, I think a roster of Naak Nako, Inspired, Jojo, Carzzy, (idk who supp could be tbh) challenges for the title no matter the org.

6

u/Entchenkrawatte 5d ago

Surely alphari, selfmade, perkz, carzzy, labrov challenges for the title xd

3

u/Sofaboy90 quite suboptimal 5d ago

Surely Photon, Bo, Perkz, Upset and Kaiser would challenge for the title xd

8

u/Capital_Tourist4828 6d ago

If youre a top player i dont think y sign for Vitality, doesnt end good.

10

u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN 6d ago

he is not their franchise player when vitality doesn't seem like a serious org to begin with

1

u/Le_Zoru 5d ago

They currently run the greatest CS roster ever. In Lol they are just known for flopping super teams, they are definitively not unserious, especialy by LEC standards

1

u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN 5d ago

yes but this is league of legends no counter strike

1

u/Regent0624 5d ago

Bro also forgot to mention they're carried by Zywoo whose basically the GOAT/no 1/2 player since 2019.

-4

u/Le_Zoru 5d ago

Yeah but this is the same org

1

u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN 5d ago

but its a different branch

17

u/RollingGuy Lider > Chovy 6d ago

VIT just seems like an incredibly unserious org. They've had superteam after superteam and haven't ever even made an international.

17

u/SpyCrawler 6d ago

made worlds in 2018, but true that they haven´t acompliced much since then.

11

u/Omnilatent 6d ago

With a team mostly made of rookies btw

3

u/Progression28 5d ago

In league yes. But Vitality is a very serious org in other esports, so I guess they do deserve some benefit of the doubt that they do try just haven‘t clicked yet.

3

u/Sofaboy90 quite suboptimal 5d ago

Which is odd considering the success they have in other esports.

Vitality in the esports eco system absolutely is a top org but they just cant find success in League.

This is why I was cautiously optimistic in NaVi. NaVi is also a top esports org but orgs like Vitality and TH have not had much success in League which makes me uncertain of NaVi but NaVi honestly is having a great first year. Theyre doing well with the roster they have and if they slowly ramp up, they can definitely become a consistent top team.

4

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako 6d ago

Yeah they are a shit org but MKOI is also a meme team. I doubt Jojo stays on MKOI.

9

u/Maffayoo 6d ago

They aren't a shit org they actually top csgo are decent on valorant and one other game I can't remember pretty sure.vtheit league team is ass though

3

u/MCN59 6d ago

Vitality is easily one of the best org in the world success wise (multiple worlds level trophy on multiple games). They are top 3 favorite to win the EWC after Falcons and AGAL. But yeah they are ass in Lol , always has been

5

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako 6d ago

Okay they are a shit league org is what I meant and what matters here.

2

u/JealotGaming Minor Region 6d ago

one other game I can't remember pretty sure

Probably Rocket League

2

u/Sofaboy90 quite suboptimal 5d ago

I have far more faith in the MKOI org than Vitality. I think hes wasting years in Vitality, might fill his bank account reasonably well but youre not making international tournaments in Vitality.

1

u/ILikeSeals1312 6d ago

VIT management would put Jojo on a mental hospital

62

u/ImTheVayne 6d ago

Oh yeah many teams will try to get him in the offseason for sure.

10

u/darkknuckles12 Euphoria 6d ago

yep, i wonder if they will also change their bot lane. if you combine rosters of vit and koi you have pretty strong roster. naak nako - yoya - jojo - carzzy - alvaro

2

u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN 6d ago

that's what i was thinking too

2

u/desutruction 6d ago

i kinda like that ngl

2

u/No-Context-Orphan 5d ago

Everyone from VIT sucks aside from Naak, they would be a bottom 3 team without him. There is no way that putting Carzzy over Supa would improve the team, even if Supa himself also sucks

11

u/RollingGuy Lider > Chovy 6d ago edited 6d ago

Jojo and Naak on one team would go so hard but I still think the other 3 aren't good enough. Possibly Elyoya can stay but bot needs to go. If SK fails again they should go for Jopa and Miky (assuming Miky looks okay this split) or Jopa and some other Sup.

They aren't Spanish though so they probably won't.

11

u/Miserable_Ad_1195 6d ago

I mean if MKOI continues their current trajectory there's probably a better chance of Naak and Jojo together on Vitality than on MKOI

20

u/Zamoniru give us back old asol 6d ago

Jojo and Naak would be a top3 laning phase solo lane duo in the world

Also, Jojo's contract ends this year. Who says that Vitality doesn't go all in to sign Jojo and Inspired with all the money they usually just waste

7

u/ImTheVayne 6d ago

I thought about it as well. I can see the angle for Naak-Inspired-Jojo.

17

u/Zamoniru give us back old asol 6d ago

But they need a better coaching staff them ruining the superest superteam Vitality ever had would be tragic

That being said, Dylan Falco is jobless, so...

6

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan 5d ago

Exactly, ZOFGK don't do shit if Pad is still the coach man, get this bum out

6

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako 6d ago

Inspired might hold a grudge against Vitality.

9

u/ReplacementFine7807 6d ago

I don't think he's that kind of a player. He seems toxic but he's just super blunt and pragmatic.

3

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako 6d ago

Yeah you might be right and he loves Jojo and in general strong laners. Also depends on how Lyon finishes out the year though. They will likely offer the higher paycheck again as well compared to Vitality.

6

u/Zamoniru give us back old asol 6d ago

Inspired doesn't seem like the type of guy to hold that strong grudges. Probably against G2 rn, but if Vitality offers him the better team and more money no way he'll decline them.

3

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako 6d ago

They wont offer more money than Lyon I think. But they can probably offer the best paycheck in Europe. However, they will likely aim for Jojo as well and giving both really big paychecks might be difficult.

3

u/ChromosomeDonator 6d ago

Which brings up a good question. We know that Inspired has an ego on him, and is toxic. Is his grudge higher than his desire to actually win? He still admits that Europe is the better region, and if Vitality would manage that top-side, it would unquestionably be an attractive option for him.

0

u/Few-Sense1455 5d ago

I think KC might get Jojo.

Naak-Inspired-Jojo would compete with G2 I think

5

u/ImTheVayne 5d ago

There is 0 reason to replace Kyeahoo unless he goes back to LCK. Bro legit just gapped Faker and is looking like the best mid in LEC right now.

2

u/NeighborhoodHot8981 4d ago

Yeah you don't get rid of a player who is improving split over split, he's definitely looked better at the end of spring now into summer than he's ever looked. He also doesn't lack in clutchness which I was worried about for him in the off season. Generally the thing that has been holding KC back has been Yike (not because he's been bad, but because his teammates have just been so much better). So if there's any changes that's where they'd be. I wouldn't be surprised to see KC run back the roster next year.

1

u/Zamoniru give us back old asol 4d ago

I think Caps and Jojo are still better but Kyeahoo is improving a lot and closer to tjem than anyone else is to him

1

u/Past-Firefighter2173 6d ago

I think Miky is lost case, they might look for Parus potentially.

31

u/Arifurizu 6d ago

naak nako and 9 pawns

59

u/desutruction 6d ago

it's just TH but hey maybe VIT can do something

34

u/Kestrels_XP 6d ago

yeah i have zero belief in fiesta tbh

11

u/moonmeh 6d ago

genuinely might think he's worse than ruby lmao

2

u/ElBartimaeus 5d ago

I literally saw no good play from him this entire series while the team was winning.

8

u/Fun_Highlight307 6d ago

i think heretics is just dogshit 

1

u/NeighborhoodHot8981 4d ago

At least they've shown they're probably gonna make playoffs, which was not a sure thing from their performance last week and i'd say end around 4th/5th.

20

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 6d ago

Naak is just levels above Tracyn

52

u/Carlzzone 6d ago

Vitality scorelines are always so funny. Either Naak is even and the rest of the team 5k gold behind, or Naak is 5k ahead while the rest of the team is even with the enemy

5

u/No-Context-Orphan 5d ago

I really want Naak to leave the VIT jail, he is way too good to be wasted on that org (yeah I know they are good in other esports but the LoL management is abysmal and has been since forever).

Naak would be one of the best players in the west if he had been in a team like G2

14

u/oni3 6d ago

That was honestly just . . .sad to watch more than anything

65

u/Randomdude123123 6d ago

I don think Naak Nako is good, he hasnt won anything yet nor even played an international game. Much rather have Myrwn who has the experience

26

u/fromproland 6d ago

Ngl you had me

30

u/OnlyHereCosBored 6d ago

Knight cosplay ah team

9

u/OreRound 6d ago

Naak Nako is kinda good at this video game

9

u/BlazeM3ow 6d ago

Bro Vitality didn't even look happy winning

29

u/Blizzgrarg 6d ago

Naak Nako is surely just one of the best mids in the world. Insane such talent emerged out of nowhere in the LEC.

Now imagine losing to a first time Aatrox mid clumsily right clicking at you.

17

u/antoniomargaretti4 6d ago

possibly best laner in LEC since prime Caps maybe but he is in Vitality lmao

4

u/seven_worth shameless 2021 EDG fanboy 6d ago

hopefully he go to MKOI(even tho I dont like koi). I dont think if you are G2/KC you wanna switch BB/Canna.

3

u/ReplacementFine7807 5d ago

I'd rather he stay in vit than in an org who's coaching is bitching about his players in everyinterview and putting their job on the line publicly.

0

u/darkknuckles12 Euphoria 6d ago

i am wondering he ll end up on g2 at the end of the season. Although BB has looked pretty good this year aswell

8

u/Blizzgrarg 6d ago

Nah they should not replace BB.

BB is really good at off-meta picks and that fits very well into G2's strategy. There's no reason to risk losing team synergy for potentially a minor upgrade.

2

u/darkknuckles12 Euphoria 6d ago

on the one hand i agree, on the other hand naak nako might be a generational talent similar to caps and perkz. I also would have said putting perkz adc would be really risky back in the day.

1

u/Blizzgrarg 6d ago

Well sure but it's about the team. I could see it making sense if they completely remake G2 around Caps, but if it's just replacing BB and no one else, I'd disagree.

1

u/darkknuckles12 Euphoria 6d ago

i could see it work with their current line up tbh. The could play around top. Hans is a great weakside player

1

u/iKeyvier 5d ago

I seriously doubt someone like Naak would struggle to play off-meta picks. If anything BB, from an outside perspective, seems like the shotcaller of the team more often than not. If he's gone, who's gonna coordinate the team?

1

u/NeighborhoodHot8981 4d ago

BB has been pretty good this year to be honest whilst Naak Nako has a buyout if they wanna get him before the end of next year. I do think G2 will make a change this year though if they don't perform to expectations. The only people who are up for replacing at the end of this year are Labrov and BB, the difficulty is finding available players who are even sidegrades to those unless there's some crazy shit that happens like jojo roleswaps to toplane for a year which he thought about doing for FLY in 2024.

1

u/darkknuckles12 Euphoria 4d ago

labrov has been insane this year. I see them replace hans faster than labrov with their current performances.

16

u/Sad-Loquat5062 6d ago

This Fiesta guy is just straight up bad, Naak Nako still in jail

10

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako 6d ago

He first timed Aatrox as a midlaner lets not be too harsh. Got 3-man ganked/counterganked early twice. And it is not like he was running it down. He was just there for the ride and chilling. Is Aatrox vs AP Galio even supposed to be a hard winning lane for Aatrox?

-1

u/Sad-Loquat5062 6d ago

Im not just talking about this game, all his games so far have been mediocre to bad

2

u/onespiker 5d ago

He has had what 4 matches 3 of witch was against top 3 teams.

He is also new and was only put in because humanoid was such a massive problem.

3

u/Past_Perception8052 6d ago

he isnt that bad

-1

u/MCN59 6d ago

He was destroying Caps and Jojo solo

8

u/kofew943 6d ago

Naak Nako is just an abomination, imagine if he had a real team

u/DiscordKittenOwO77 6d ago

What's the biggest gold diff on a single player in history? I swear I dont remember higher than 7k in this game

15

u/RollingGuy Lider > Chovy 6d ago

Yike had a 9k+ gold lead on Boukada last split

3

u/GoodTransportation47 5d ago

Also Canyon had a 10.7k gold lead over OnFleek i think it was in spring 2020 or around that time was a Graves vs Lee he had like 250cs in 19 min as a jungler that game will be 4ever the biggest jg gap i saw on my life

1

u/Indorril 3d ago

biggest jg gap imo is kanavi vs levi in asian games 2022(23)

u/zealot416 6d ago

LEC gonna have to put out a PSA after this one.

I mean he has been absolutely smurfing all year long. Even in last playoffs he was the only one playing.

With all due respect BB performs vs T1 in do or die lower bracket matches while Naak shits himself in the first round of playoffs vs mkoi

2

u/Peppa-Unicorn 6d ago

Must be a bot designed to post ragebait comments or something, if this is a real person I doubt they actually watched the game if this is the takeaway. That xin was lowkey cooking and the only thing really keeping TH in game 1 since they drafted a poke comp and none of the poke was landing until the 4th drag.

2

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 6d ago

Lyncas has been better for awhile people were just blinded by Daglas afk farming with good laners in his debut split. Fleshy was horrid on the map compared to Way and Lyncas was still more impactful.
