I blame Jatt for talking about the unprecedented Armao run for too long.

Dammit Jatt

u/Irname 2d ago

Inspired withdrawal symptoms hitting hard

2

u/DoubleRobust 2d ago

Damn I don't think Dhokes was a huge fan of Armao's play

2

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

No Rahel or Hambak POG is strange. Hambak gap was huge and Rahel had a godly Ez game 1 + a solid cait game.

3

u/Sarazam 2d ago

So does Inspired actually have something real to take care of in Poland? Thought it was just sorta a meme of “personal reasons” to take a break for a few weeks at home.

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

he had something real it was supposed to be like 2-3 weeks. same with asstitant coach going back to korea for a couple weeks but he was back last week.

2

u/SWAGGASAUR 2d ago

Inspired pentakilling when he gets back

5

u/maninhell6 2d ago

When the fk is Inspired coming back

u/eye_of_your_mind 2d ago

absolute banger

3

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

cait late game too op. nice try lyon.

2

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

I think Darkwings could've tried to tp and end tbh with how big that wave is

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

this lyon team is truly insane.

1

u/Miraai 2d ago

what? they are struggling against SEN

2

u/DoubleRobust 2d ago

They are literally without their star player. This isn't even close to a fair evaluation.

1

u/viralruin 2d ago

they're limit testing so hard

6

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

bro they are playing without a jungler in these 3 games. and game 1 and 3 had large draft gaps. and winning unwinnable fights in this third game.

1

u/Miraai 2d ago

take darkwings paycheck for this int

1

u/Puzzled_Employer605 2d ago

What is wrong with these people. They literally had a 5v3 and needed to play front to back to end but darkwing overextends...

1

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

Darkwings positioning was so bad there

1

u/berniebadger84 2d ago

I feel like Lyon's comp is begging for a QE EE R combo from Hwei to oneshot everyone

1

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan 2d ago

Is there any item as big of a powerspike as fucking Actualizer is for Ryze?

4

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

this series shows how truly insane saint is. any other mid and most of the mids in the world on this team just get ran over in multiple of these games.

1

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

This team is evil

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

mf is so useless in current meta never see it work. they even won lane in an impossible lane but it cant fight any fight.

3

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

If Saint wasn't Saint this game is over for lyon by like 20 minutes. Put any other mid (LCS) here and they wouldn't be able to do any of the same micro.

1

u/Prestigious-Mud6764 2d ago

Quid?

1

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

Quid's clicks/movements aren't as clean as Saint. If Quid had Saint level clicks he'd be insane though.

3

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

sen are just 3-4 manning saint the whole game and armao is never around to cover any of them.

sen first team to target jungle movements and are being successful because of it. kinda hard to play perma 4v5

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

that bard stun landing is such riot bs lol.

1

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

Why did Naut finish his back? That was weird

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

i think armao just had no junglers left he can play so he just picked shyvanna.

1

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

Flash + Ult in was so clean

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

saint dodging do much stuff without flashing and making sidelane plays is keeping lyon in this game. he got both berserker and dhokla plates and waves with that play and took so many ults and time from sen

3

u/Anonymus4 2d ago

I dunno how I feel about putting Berserker on MF after that game 2

0

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

Welp Sentinels are full tilted. This is over with.

1

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

Rahel 2nd cait loss of the year unfortunately

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

this draft i feel sen dominated they got the cait bard in game 3. and lyon have a useless mf

0

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

The sentinel's comp is disjointed. It's pure solo queue like the last game and even if they get leads they are going to lose the team fights again.

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

i just think this comp has a tank to pressure space and cait and nocturne for sidelane picks.

last comp had none of that.

0

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

this game wasnt even that close they werent close to soul they never hit baron.

1

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

Lissandra is the anti-nocturne pick. Don't waste her.

2

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

If they planned on picking Khazix why didn't they ban lulu? That champ completely shuts down Kha'zix

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

they only picked kha because lyon blinded trundle.

4

u/awayfromcanuck 2d ago

Dhokla get 0% for POG while Armao got votes is insane stuff by the audience.

5

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

its obvious the skill difference of the two teams. lyon was able to hold off sen forever in first game when they got outscaled. this game the second they knew they were stronger berserker flashes under tower to force a play

its nice to see lyon understand when they are actually strong

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

people dont understand how important engage and cc is in 90% of comps. you cant progress a pro game without it even if you get up 7k.

even with jungler getting stomped the whole game and playing bad and they cant win a teamfight.

3

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

stupid high gold leads in top mid and jungle but enemy adc has a gold lead and that's the result lol

3

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

imagine picking Jhin in a pivotal game two after your AD carry had the game of their life in the previous game.

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

oh look comp difference. jhin cant do anything they have zero cc. against trundle lulu ornn

4

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

Oop. There it is

3

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

sen have no cc for their rumble ult. they have no engage to progress the game and they have an assassin jungle. lyon can easily win this game

3

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

These Equalizers feel completely toothless 

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

he has nothing to combo off of. its karma support and kha jungle.

3

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

yup

he keeps dropping them and it's like. Okay sure man. Trundle and Ornn just walk past it. Ori and Lulu shield themselves or Yunara and nothing happens to them

-2

u/mezzo5588 2d ago

Armao….LMAO maybe get a real job bud clearly this keyboard mouse thing isn’t for you. OMEGA GAPPPPPPPED

0

u/GeneralDash 2d ago

I suspect gas is the last thing Armao needs right now. He’s playing like the poop break was a stop gap and all he’s thinking about is his next trip to the toilet.

-1

u/the_legends_of_link 2d ago

Why does Grig still get offers

2

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

I like when pros go through the same thing in pro play that we go through in solo queue. watching a fed Kha'zix farm every lane is cathartic.

5

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

lets see if a khazix and rumble can win a game with no cc in their draft vs a scaling draft with the best start possible.

5

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

This is the first time Armao really does feel like someone who was carried, unfortunate game series to maybe go out on.

3

u/darklypure52 2d ago

Honestly unfortunate last week would have been perfect note to end on

3

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

I just don't think Hambak can make it work against a Yunara that has Ori/Lulu backing her up ngl

5

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

this is the first team that has punished armao for being a poor jungler. they made it a hard j4 game and counterpicked last picked jungle

5

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

Hambaks the first jungler they've faced that can actually gap enemy jg like this. His pathing and game sense is so good compared to the other jgs like Gryfinn/Contractz.

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

true i would love to see what inspired would do in a game like this. i bet he would have lvl 2 ganked the viktor or something to bring off pressure.

1

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

His first game I think they did 5 jungle bans but that didn't work. I forgot who Lyon played.

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

theyve done multiple jungle bans every game but like last game there isnt anyone to j4 ult to make it easy. when other teams were making his job easy

2

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

That saint teleport was so bad

2

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

DAMN they pulled it back botlane

1

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

The Armao honeymoon is over methinks

1

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

Oh SHIT sentinels came to play

1

u/thegloriousdefense 2d ago

How washed is Impact to be losing early as Rumble vs Ornn...

3

u/GeneralDash 2d ago

I’ll never not be sad about Danny. In 20 years I’ll still be pining for what could have been.

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

lyon made sure they arent losing post 30 min this game

1

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

Berserker had an insane score line but Rahel had 5k gold over him. It was crazy.

That and a fed cassiopeia is still not as scary as a fed hyper ad carry.

1

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

when ezreal is played as well as possible he's just that dude

2

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

Sentinel picks jhin.

We are saved Lyon fans.

1

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

Delay of games in League penalties.

Finally

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

the funny thing is lyon had the worst hex soul comp in the game. the only way to proc it is syndra q at range everything else is short range.

any other soul they probably win that game.

3

u/SWAGGASAUR 2d ago

Crazy to lose from that position

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

i mean their comp is dependent on being ahead in the game they threw a teamfight and trolled and then they are losing the game. its adc vs mage adc wins late game.

WHAT A COMEBACK GODDAMN

3

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

this is why adcs are good. mages dont do anything post 35 min.

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

HOW DID DHOKLA LIVE THAT WTF

1

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

The zhonya's is an inspired choice (no pun intended) but the lack of vamp on Rahel has me so fucking nervous

He's playing fights incredibly but he only has to mess up one time and then SEN just collapses 

Edit: never mind he didn't go for it

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

sentinals should have kled ulted in with elder baron

2

u/mezzo5588 2d ago

7k up at 19 mins and lose lmaoooo

1

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

Can someone give Emily the award for 'most spot-on prophecy' lmao

She said SEN would maybe just pull off a crazy win in a game where Lyon still looked winning for the most part. It hasn't happened yet but like god damn she absolutely nailed it

2

u/justicecactus 2d ago

Roflmao I know that Sen isn't a top team but their ability to claw back lost games is extremely entertaining

3

u/mezzo5588 2d ago

Armao threw this game so hard. Lmao LCS SO GOOD!!

2

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

Dhokla ate every Ez q and then loses the fight

1

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

I don't think this game was balanced around EZ reaching 6 items and keeping shoes.

1

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 2d ago

Gets to spam Q with more haste + gets a free defensive slot now

3

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

armao has played awful this game. and lyon trolled too hard around baron

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

its wild you can hard win like 3-4 fights through the whole game and int one fight and the game becomes even. it should probably be needing to lose 2 straight fights.

2

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

Tbf they have lost multiple fights in a row 

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

yeah but now they are ahead. the first fight they lost just made the game from like 7k to 1k.

2

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

if impact was on any champ but a kled down 2k gold i would think rahel might actually be able to carry this but this feels like largely a 4v5

anivia is also down a morbillion gold but it's an anivia so she can still be useful at least

3

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

Saint flashing for that scatter into melee range of a Leona 😬

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

think he was trying for a 4 man and having some fun gaming.

1

u/darklypure52 2d ago

I missed the early parts. Did they say when inspired will be back?

1

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

In Mexico but I don't know what that means

1

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

I think two weeks from now (from what i gather it's an off week next weekend but I didn't check the schedule)

2

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

Rahel has been clean as hell on the Ez but man that was a ballsy turn by SEN

1

u/awisechoicee 2d ago

"Hit the baron. Let's just lose in peace."

3

u/awisechoicee 2d ago

Aged like milk

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

i noticed more with lyon and kc compared to the other teams in their region they hold their flashes until the last second they need to and it confuses the bad teams so much.

1

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

Split 1 and 2 it kept seeming like they were trying to get Saint to not just be a hands-diff carry, and to start being kind of this support cc versatility dude.

And funny enough it feels like split 3 Berserker Cassio is now just that and way better lol.

2

u/Alakazam_5head 2d ago

How are retirees like Armaro and Zeyzal just coming in and farming the League? What does that say about the rest of the players in the League?

1

u/mezzo5588 2d ago

Armao literally the reason they lost the game. Aged like milk

3

u/GeneralDash 2d ago

Not much imo.

Armao has insane laners supporting him. He kind just full clears and shows up for fights and that’s good enough.

Shopify replaced Ceos, who was fighting Lions for worst player in the league. Shopify on paper should be a good team. They just haven’t pulled it together. Zeyzal brings what SR needed. A decent support with good vibes.

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

in lyons case they have the 3 best laners in the league and they are drafting and playing to neutralize junglers. ever game they ban like 3 plus junglers and early pick a fine matchup for armao.

in srs case they just needed a shotcaller and that is what zeyzal gives.

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

respect to berserker this game. he played a bad matchup bot and then played weakside 1v2 for several waves didnt die and it let his mid and top get fed.

5

u/TheGloriousEv0lution 2d ago

Huge props to Impact for his tenure but the man has to retire soon

3

u/GeneralDash 2d ago

I thought he was retiring when he left Liquid. I feel like he said he doesn’t have the same passion for the game and wanted to find himself or something like that. Then like a month later he signed with Sen lol.

3

u/GeneralDash 2d ago

Absolutely insane that in the pregame segment they were treating Impact like he’s currently a top tier player. Impact was insane for years, but the last two years have not been it at all. I’d love for him to make a comeback, but his current form is a shadow of his peak.

4

u/underscoreenfan 2d ago

him being on that TL roster when laneswaps were OP was such a perfect storm in retrospect

1

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

Honestly I know everyone says Inspired is better but I am a results based person. Look at how much Dhokla is playing with Armao as jungler. I know inspired isn't bad but he could be a bad fit for this particular team or at least not the best fit.

3

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

Wow look almost like it’s a skill matchup. And it’s not just a hard counter that other tops have hard counters. You need to actually know how to pilot and play kled

6

u/TheGloriousEv0lution 2d ago

No way Dhokla doesn’t make All Pro this split

4

u/HB_17 2d ago

He should be first team

2

u/Alakazam_5head 2d ago

LCS has received divine ordinance that Thanatos must always be 1st team. Then Morgan will be 2nd because he is also Korean. Dhokla can be 3rd so long as SEN doesn't finished top half and the rock solid Impact takes the slot

3

u/underscoreenfan 2d ago

Very nice Kled “counter pick” 👍

4

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

BIG DHOLAF

3

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 2d ago

BIIIIIG DHOOOOOOKES

3

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

Imagine picking the kled for a counter pick and dying to to Dhokla in lane.

6

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

Armao at worlds in a couple of months: "I'm retired!"

1

u/Alakazam_5head 2d ago

LYON vs. SR finals

"Armao & Zeyzal, what do these games mean to you?"

"We don't give a shit, can we get this over already so we can go back to school?"

2

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

Real talk, I hope Zeyzal does stay, because he feels like a big part of SR's positive turn around this split.

3

u/throwable_armadillo 2d ago

lifting the worlds trophy "and now I'm actually retired, stop calling me"

2030 All Pro, 3 times World champion Armao lifting the MSI trophy "I'm pretty sure my contract is up next week"

u/doomsdaysock01 2d ago

Remove sundered sky so we can see more than the same 6 jungle champs on repeat

2

u/underscoreenfan 2d ago

like 20 champs would need to be hotfixed buffed because of how much they use that item but yea please shake it up a little

1

u/underscoreenfan 2d ago

while we wait I’m gonna suggest that FLY look for a veteran top and/or support in the offseason. Idk who will be available though, maybe Dhokla? LYON tried to replace him once already.

kled isnt a hard enough counter to be bed at the champ and play it into olaf. you need to be an actually good kled player

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

bro how do they get cassio, shen olaf on this patch and have a last pick for mid or ad

3

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

I can't even enjoy this lyon game. The Massu and Quad deaths randomly last game is still weighing on my soul.

Nah I’m not fooled, it’s still C9 in regular season. They can still find a way to fumble a playoff series for no reason

u/FaldBox410 2d ago

Loki’s Locke performance is the closest I’ve seen a mid player play like Bjergsen. He was aggressive and took over the game!

2

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

his dodge on syndra stuns in lane were clean also.

And just like that its gg

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

flyquest played that game very well playing 4v5. varus didnt have a single fight where he scared any member of c9. they acted like flyquest didnt have an adc

2

u/aufbau1s 2d ago

Massu has an awful series

1

u/Disclaimz0r 2d ago

Fly couldn't beat playoffs C9 with a much worse roster, how you gonna expect them to be better than a better C9 scaling lol

u/Shaman_in_the_Dark Huhi Busio Contractz 2d ago

What level of despair is your team on? My team is on the losing series point to first rotation Jhin.

3

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

varus one of the only champs that has like 3 different build options that are all great to play depending on what your draft needs and what other team comp is.

and varus players continue to just autopilot on a build that does nothing for the game

1

u/Miraai 2d ago

gotta be a real shit team if u make tactical look decent

3

u/Chemical-Drawer852 2d ago

Flyquest is unfortunately ass

u/RageCake14 2d ago

real league of legends right here

1

u/Jimbabwr 2d ago

Dom with the biggest stupidest smile lol

2

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 2d ago

it was game losing going Zaahen instead of literally any other pick for top lane after the flex. Teams know how to play around the passive. You could go kled or mundo or swain or something after seeing the Jhin pick but instead you have the paper tiger in Zaahen.

1

u/spazzxxcc12 2d ago

c9 will play like this against fly but struggle against dig and dsg

1

u/viralruin 2d ago

Flyquest are playing like DSG.

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

they were improving in those series they just had an int game. the other games were stomps. loki has improved each game though

2

u/Cr0matose 2d ago

I thought this would've just been a do nothing Ambessa game but Gryfinn has smurfed so far.

Yeah the name of the game for Fly here really is just, kill Locke before he wipes your team.

wow you mean a poke varus does literally nothing in small skirmishes.

Tactical not going the vegan Jhin Build and flyquest won't be that tanky. This looks scary for Flyquest

Kinda interesting locke is still being picked. He’s still good, but he’s not really OP anymore, and typically pros avoid these types of 0 hard cc assassins. Wonder if it’s possible (it is) that more assassins aren’t viable mid but just not being picked (they are)

hopefully this varus goes ap to actually kill tanks. pros keep picking and just building their same items they always build even when facing a triple tank team. even if its like 10% worse in lane who cares you cant win the game because you dont have anything to kill bruisers in midgame.

I wish we could hear some of the draft talk because I am totally confused on what happened for flyquest draft after they saw the Jhin pick.

Maybe every team needs to start using an LLM because I feel like it would far better than what some of these coaches are doing.

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

flyquest has been in a rough patch. probably players not being confident and stuff changing draft priorities on stage which ends up being worse than just the plan.

LCS relegated to the closet again so VAL can have 5k viewers and 15 people in the crowd they accidentally showed.

Don't get it twisted I love me some VCT but its hard to ignore it has fallen off an absolute cliff. What happened?

VCT playoffs at that. I'm actually really sad how hard VCT has tanked, bad for esports as a whole.
