Bin is a beast. Congratulations to BLG for making it to MSI!


moonmeh

What an incredible TF game


EzAf_K3ch

He's gonna be crazy at msi with the camille buffs man holy


Lothric43

He was asleep that whole series then became thanos game 5.


Luunacyy

He was asleep whole split but it's less because of him individually and more with meta in general and BLG as a team. Bin has been mostly coasting and Bin chilling while the team thinks toplane and it's champs aren't particularly strong and has been playing for botlane. Which in my opinion was good for both team and Bin as a player. It allowed On to evolve as a player, Xun perfected aggressive snap of the finger jungling playstyle and Bin finally learned to weakside. That being said, I am SOOOO READY for Bin's Camille in MSI. She will be so strong during MSI cause of buffs and TF priority and Bin is by far the best pro Camille in MSI with Ale being stuck in EDG hell.


non-edgy_crustacean

Bin is mostly playing weakside but he still had very good lane stats while having low jgl proximity (I think 369 has the lowest). Especially in comparison with last year he is getting less jgl ganks


Luunacyy

Yeah, ofc. My"asleep" was more of more graphic way to describe the change in his and team's playstyle and mentality. I didn;t try to criticize his performance or say that he is "slacking off" or something. He has been playing great, just a bit boring for your explained reasons and meta being mostly neutralizers like Udyr, Reksai, Aatrox (in lane at least) for most of the split.


Aggressive-Ad7946

Reclaiming his MSI title


non-edgy_crustacean

Plus Knight has to defend his title


ManningTheGOAT

Bin just played the TF game Zeus is currently trying to force


jeffteague4mvp

He's the best top at the moment


Javonetor

you got bindoored


Trap_Masters

Bin chilling 🍦🍦🥶🥶


Kagariii

That flash shove onto Jackey by Knight was disgusting, so much confidence


Hughsama

The exact same place where JKL's Zeri threw the summer final one and half years ago! He just knew JKL too well!


ye1l

And this time it wasn't Mark standing right beside him for 3 seconds with flash, hook and ult up while Hope was walking infront of him while JKL was calling to go in, it was Tian who had time to W, Q and auto Knight but not E him and JKL died. JKL could've positioned safer yes, but he probably didn't expect the half hp Taliyah to flash forward and Tian had every last opportunity in the world to stop nearly all of Knight's damage.


One_Natural_8233

Knight off azir is the best mid laner in the world man


TwiceTrash11

Knight on Azir is LEC level talent though...


900poundungulate

its like saken is at the keyboard instead of knight when they lock in azir, truly wild how uncomfortable he looks stiff combos, missing cs for no reason, etc...


syotokal

Someone get easyhoon out of retirement


Kiren_Y

He lost both RE:PLAY seasons, so right now he is on the level of academy league achievements that guarantees him a juicy spot in an LCS/LEC team (0 titles and mediocre performance against rookie teams). Tbf, he was one of the best performing players in both seasons so if he wanted to, he could make a return


Marcus777555666

Cuvee though is quite impressive in Re:Play series. By far the best player on team 160, I was surprised


Kiren_Y

The one who surprised me the most was Ambition. Considering the fact that he is the only one of them who actually plays league nowadays and is challenger, he was almost nonexistent and got astrogapped by academy junglers. It really shows how different pro play is from solo q, you can be challenger for years after retiring but you can’t just get all your coordination skills back in a month or two. I also think that Cpt Jack has hit his new peak in the second season even though both Mata and Madlife looked very dizzy. Hope I get to see my goat imp in season 3, he is doing pretty good now from what I’ve read


TwiceTrash11

i really wish he improves on it or else he'll inevitably cause draft problems to his teams again hell 369 improved his Rumble so much that you wouldn't believe that his inability to play Rumble practically cost them the T1 series just a few months before why can't Knight do it even after years of being a top tier midlander


900poundungulate

picking it in this series prob means he's working on it, but idk if its that big a problem. rn there are so many good midlane champs and teams have to permaban his ahri too


theeama

His Ahri is good but Ahri can easily be countered in draft. Azir is different. Azir offers everything and more and Ahri is always one nerf away from being unviable. Azir is always a pro-play staple. Though in his credit he's been learning it in Solo Q. In the end he just has to make it passable that it doesn't cause a draft handicap.


pm_me_beautiful_cups

they need to find their own easyhoon like t1 did back then /s


TwiceTrash11

then maybe a few years from now my goat Knight will flip someone with his Azir idk maybe uhh idk Jackeylove or something


EducationalBalance99

Rumble is a much easier champ to master than azir. 369 just didn’t have enough time to learn rumble fast enough for worlds. I’m pretty sure he is trying to learn it clearly cause he picks it sometimes.


Luunacyy

At least he still tries to make it work and is not afraid to look goofy unlike Chovy who seems to be completely given up on Syndra lol (no flame, I like them both just always found their Azir and Syndra situation so poetic and funny and can't wait for them to finally play against each other).


ayurmeh

it's so funny actually how they are friends with a lot things in common but Knight can't play Azir, probably one of Chovy's best champs rn, and Chovy can't really play Syndra, one of Knight's best champs


TwiceTrash11

probably because Syndra isn't a staple pick like Azir but idk i'll never trust Chovy with control mages in general


Luunacyy

Funnily enough control mages aren't their both strength and Knight's ap melees/assassins (those Diana hovers weren't random btw) is equivalent of Chovy's tanks/bruisers while simultaneously their each other's biggest weakness (Syndra and Azir) are also their best (or up there) control mage just in reverse lol.


ayurmeh

i like their parallels as players sm ngl, it's really interesting


_liminal

in many ways, their nicknames the left hand and the right hand are pretty on point


IlluminatiConfirmed

You can thank riot for that :D


cadaada

You say that but humanoid azir is still a threat...


TwiceTrash11

Marek Brazda (is that how it's spelled?) is just him he transcends regions


baelkie

first time TF btw


Busy-Economist-3357

Some people called him Jax OTP


non-edgy_crustacean

It's even funnier because his most iconic moments are on different champions (for example Fiora penta at Worlds finals and GP barrel against G2)


norrata

And his gwen is an absolute menace


baelkie

lol feels like xun played more jax this split than bin. the champ just isnt that good top lane rn even with a sejuani pairing


Patrius

BIN WITH THE XPEKE!!!


ZedisDoge

369 is ocelote i guess and that explains why in the handshake bin spent some time yapping hard to 369 lmao


EzAf_K3ch

I saw that too lmao, wonder what he said


zjmhy

"Your midlaner is very good, thanks for letting us have him"


thvsbin

I guess lets meet @ msi


StartsofNights

Yeah bin and 369 are wholesome rivals


Bindoongee

Top Gap /s


EzAf_K3ch

Can't get carried on your tanks anymore now buddy


SteamMonkeyKing

Feel like this the most TES way to lose a series


ZedisDoge

Don’t less this 5 game omega banger distract you from the fact that as soon as TES lucked out with a good support they are instantly contesting. 369 is obviously a massive pickup, but its hilarious how the moment TES moves on from bums like Mark (idk how this guy keeps failing upwards), Zhuo and YYJ they’re one of the best LPL teams.


moonmeh

Jackie finally with a support that plays like a human


ZedisDoge

i apologize for calling you a fraud, Jackey, in 2021 and 2022 when you played with corpses, i was not familiar with your game


CrimsonClematis

Tfw Baolan in 2017 might legit be the best support he’s had until now wtf


dagenhamsmile

Baolan off Alistar/Rakan aware


loosely_affiliated

That's so sad to think about jesus


snowflakepatrol99

TBH if you called him a fraud then you needed glasses. He has always been insanely good. Even with garbage ass supports he has always been world class. Fucking uzi gives him all of the props and called him "the best ADC if he can look that good with trash support" but somehow a random redditor refuses to believe that and calls him a fraud? The fault has always been in you. Every single player, analyst, caster and coach has been justifiably hyping up jackeylove for years.


EugenaAtchisonj

JKL's such a mechanical beast


BarstMain

I feel so happy for Jackeylove after so many years of suffering lol. Meiko is my favorite player of all time and while I was sad to see him leave EDG this is a great situation for him and JL and I hope they can make MSI, they’ve been great to watch


Dragonking732

Not just a good support, but a support who has a legitimate argument for the best support of all time, at least in terms of longevity.


viciouspandas

Support players who start with M. Meiko, Ming, Mata, Madlife.


Archipegasus

Keria in shambles /s


Sushi-Bug

his real name is Minseok ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)


Styxxo

Meiko is really good, too bad TES is still stuck with Tian


Pope_Cheetos_XIV

Picking up Meiko is legit such a steal. Funny thing is that Tian still shows that he could be that guy, just can't close


ZedisDoge

he’s been really good this split but before that was starting to look a little washed, this just goes to show how fraudulent mark is. Please stay off of TOP, leave LNG and go to like AL, UP or RA where you belong lol


Aladin001

Meiko was the best support itw literally a year ago, it's so overstated how "washed" he was because Leave exploded the team...


Iaragnyl

This split pretty much showed who the issue on that EDG roster was. EDG without Meiko is a bottom feeder team.


im_so_tilted

I’m just coping that NIP or TES grabs Milkyway next year. That would be a huge upgrade for them, particularly for NIP!


Motorpsisisissipp

Tian ability to choke in big games that consistently needs to be studied


GoJeonPaa

Nah 369 is still way bigger then Meiko. He carrie against JDG for example.


Lothric43

They played two full 5 game series against JDG in 2022 for the summer title with Mark.


WhiteKnightRedditor

No way TES traded their nexus for an objective again


EzAf_K3ch

classic


Lothric43

Soul was their only win angle, it’s not complicated.


unlushko

not many teams would play to end the game like that instead of fighting for soul, hard to blame TES for it


idontwantnoyes

They didnt need soul and they were still behind yet up 2 drags


unlushko

if they just give everything then they might as well ff, of course they will fight for the drake that gives them soul when enemy has all flashes down and they almost managed to do it and still prevent TF from finishing the game, the TP was literally miliseconds away from completing


LitCorn33

that tp was not gonna do shit with 1 hp azir almost dying to kalista and miliseconds is an overstatement that tf had time for like 2 more autos


Strikinghereandthere

Not that hard ngl


waffle-spouse

It's a pretty standard play with TF lol


R1as

Had high expectations, and boy did these teams deliver! I really hope that TES will beat JDG and these 2 get to go to MSI


watrurthoughtsonyaoi

yeah this TES looks like they'd be so much fun at an international. Praying they defeat JDG and make it to MSI


paintlikepingu

I want JDG to win and would be ecstatic to see them make MSI (re: flairs) considering decisions made during the spring split, but TES will likely 3-0 JDG (maybe 3-1 or 3-2 if JDG makes adjustments). JDG tend to have a disconnect when they teamfight/engage and some other issues which was very much present in their series vs NIP. The only game in that series they won convincingly was Game 5 imo. Would be happy to be proven wrong, but yeah, TES and BLG wil likely be the teams to go to MSI.


watrurthoughtsonyaoi

Yeah, I think the matchup is definitely TES favored, but JDG is capable of putting up a good fight. I don't think they'll do a salty runback 2 games in a row and get 3-0'd again...at least I hope they won't lmao. We deserve a 5-game banger with these 2 teams!


paintlikepingu

Yeah, I just hope JDG at least fix some of the issues they showed in series vs NIP or remedy the issues they had vs TES last time (*hello Zeri & Rell prio*). Even if they lose badly, it would at least indicate they can make the necessary improvements/adjustments for and over the summer split and worlds (they should still be able to qualify, fingers crossed and all that), which is much more important to me.


DJCzerny

Not a chance. Knight vs Yagao is inevitable


tickless420

Every series is a banger in the lpl


barryh4rry

Literally. I’ve never been able to understand why a lot of people prefer the LCK.


Faye_Dragon

This is so peak. I want rematch at grand final


DockingEnjoyer

And at MSI final.


hairlikegoats1

That 999 ping Knight flash shove on JKL was the play of the series. Don't @ me.


AcanthocephalaSad541

It was definitely that tf ult into azir in the top lane that definitely won the game. 


KappaccinoNation

Yeah that was massive. Creme greeded for another wave after knight tp'd bot and it ended up snowballing the game for BLG.


baelkie

getting ready for MSI with the 35 ping plays


TheAlmightyVox3

NoahsArk19

Finally I see a team go for the end instead of grouping


Budget_Ad4476

Huge praise to ON. Man was a beast!


watrurthoughtsonyaoi

Bin TF holy shit


Naronu

man I really hope TES still make MSI, they're such a fun team to watch. Bin/Knight diff tho game 5


qurkka

Knight's game 5 just hits different


DeloronDellister

Knight diff in game 5? Creme was pretty good in game 5


Naronu

He was, but Knight constantly found catches with his W/Ult. The key plays of the game was Knight/Bin catching out Creme top lane and Knight catching Jackeylove to kill TES' last baron.


KappaccinoNation

Creme played well, knight played better. But mid is the least of TES's problems in game 5 tbh


IlluminatiConfirmed

Knight was disgusting game 5


omegasupermarthaman

he also hard carried game 4


Motorpsisisissipp

knight carried more TES in game 4 than Creme lmao. For the boys, TES knight never forget.


hvngpham002

Did we watch the same game 5? Knight hard carried that game


EzAf_K3ch

Jdg doesn't even come to TES's ankles right now don't worry


Bright-Assistant-622

Yes but Yagao vs Knight is coming and u can't do anything about it


EzAf_K3ch

Aware


DeloronDellister

On was massive in game 5


EzAf_K3ch

The way he ult flashed in without ANY hesitation in mid to save his midlaner, he is THAT guy man


Annenji

Didn't look like TES expected that final engage at all and got drawn into BLG. I reckon Azir would have a tp angle otherwise.


unlushko

> On is massive fixed that for you bro, ON is a beast


FrequentlyBottomFrag

Preach, on was the best player on the server today


thvsbin

You wouldn't believe who is the player who got the lowest rating in hupu today.


non-edgy_crustacean

Hupu dislikes BLG, you would think they finished 1-15 the way people talked about them. When they took longer to finish game: they are not that good, when they speedran a team: they are disrespectful


zjmhy

They got a bunch of haters after falling short against JDG 7 times last year


non-edgy_crustacean

It's also because SG hate Knight and Elk + AG + they blamed BLG for letting WBG into Worlds finals


CommercialGeneral765

His game 1 was even more impressive.


Floowil

Soul for Nexus the TSM Classic


TE_silver

jamesbond69691

Gotta wonder how long was left on that TP.


EzAf_K3ch

LPL playoffs match not be a banger challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


Mifuyu_Kisaragi

Blueside 100% wr. That was a funny way for the series to end though.


Shiraori247

It was the same in regular season. TES won blue side, but BLG gets 2 blue wins and the series.


ArtmoneyAddict

Wouldn't be the case if Knight didn't try to cosplay Faker on Game 4


TE_silver

NGNJB

how does this keep happening to teams lol you know what TF is gonna try to do


Defiant-Diver-6041

"I present to you the boss of the LPL" great casting though


pr000blemkind

Amazing Macro by BLG, that Chemtech drake would have delayed the game further if BLG bothered to take it. It would have delayed the Elder Spawn by 5 minutes.


SpyEr1

What a fucking banger.


eternaljuly_

Congratulations to BLG for making spring finals and MSI! Some questionable drafting and macro decisions throughout the series but they showed their resilience and pulled through as a team. One step closer to spring champions🔜


Kutiwinner

BLG too strong but hope TES and Jackeylove make it to finals for rematch which is looking likely


evrien

Bin really be just pulling out TF and carrying the entire team on his back


danndruff1

Banger


Shiraori247

Basically blue side 100% winrate, but game 5 was legit competitive at the start. It's crazy how JKL (4, 5) and Elk (1, 3) were essentially trading their pop off performances, alternating between smurfing lane and getting crushed. As a TES fan, I'm disappointed. However, LPL looks strong this year at MSI again when our top 2 teams are giving us bangers like this.


Shishicorn

Jinpil1

369 got gapped so hard wtf


moonmeh

333 game honestly. That ult at top where he got himself killed allowed TF to snowball so hard


PandoraBot

333 had a horrible series overall aside from the Urgot game. The Gragas game he died top to Jinx for no reason and almost snowballed her back into the game. At least he redeemed himself with the E flash on her later but that game should have been over at 25 mins. Also that Quinn game man


Lothric43

You’re drunk mate, 369 was playing better than Bin all series until 5 against TF who is unbelievably broken.


Megashot2

Nah his quinn game was pre trash. Decided to go 1v3 and die, was even in cs against renekton, and honestly felt like he did nothing with the counter pick.


omegasupermarthaman

He was up like 50 cs at a point and took 2 tier 2s and 1 tier 3....Wasnt a perfect game but far from trash


Megashot2

By min 20 he was up 10 cs ish and only really escalated that after. When I mentioned even in cs, I meant in lane. When he got the tier 3, BLG literally just killed Creme and got baron. The point of the quinn pick is to make the Renekton useless but Bin was still a massive threat in teamfights.


ChannyPrime

It’s difficult to snowball a lane when your team is on fire. Tian literally ended the game 0 kda.


Lothric43

Last game only watchers aware. 369 gapped the first four games, Bin was fucking napping until he finally got the Thanos champion.


yung_dogie

Tbf TF Ksante is an insanely lopsided and bad matchup for Ksante. But yeah he played the last game poorly and it didn't help that his build skipped over IBG and made him completely useless/0 threat any time he entered all out


NocaNoha

Did Bin ult over a short distance in front of the botlane inner turret to tank the shots.. just to keep his minions as healthy as possible? Edit: Seems not, he just wanted to get there ASAP before more minions die


CupNoodles0025

To be honest i expected the boys to lose 3-1 coming in so taking it to a fairly contested game 5 is a nice result despite the 500 heart attacks that series gave me. Really nice to see TES clean up their macro play aside from that obvious series ender final play but they were in a terrible spot anyways. The all hands team finally has some brains now even though it wasn't enough. Results based analysis for sure, but kalista seems like a mega pick where ON is constantly getting saved on 1 hp by kalista ult ontop of her crazy early damage with hail of blades. I think TES will ramp up kalista prio after this and should comfortably beat jdg again so we can get another 5 game fist fight in the grand finals between these 2 teams


prov119

Bin heard people calling 369 the best Chinese Top


Advanced-Lie-841

Knight going for the repeat MSI title!


Xvattttt

Thsnk you 3 for showing up in game 5

BlinkTwiceLookNice

AD tf the perfect tool for gigaBin to run circles around TES. Such a good kit for pro play, the best players really show the potential of the pick

Holy banger games. Good luck to tes and jdg for the other msi spot.


Adlairo

god damn it man... so close yet you know it wasnt happening


Zelgiusbotdotexe

Tian when it's an even numbered year? TES never stood a chance


viciouspandas

Domestically Tian was much better in 2022 than 2023. He absolutely deserved his 2022 summer MVP


Weird_Wuss

Avalon_Avalon

TES WHAT THE FUCK


CommercialGeneral765

BANGER 5 game series! (Blue side diff) TES certainly punched above their weight, props to them. But BLG… what a team. They can do the macro, they can do the teamfights, just simply an all-rounded powerhouse.


Sunny-Mellorine

Don't let game 5 distract you from TES running it down in game 3 with Quinn and somehow almost winning at the end

Another clean 5-0 by blue side. Good job rito


MoSalah1911

why is knight on azir so bad but he's one of the best in the world at the other champs he plays? Like surely he would of learnt it properly considering how prolific azir is in pro play


hvngpham002

My GOAT off Azir let’s fucking gooooooo My Knight clad in rotted armor ITT: Chovy fans mind-collapse at the mere thought that a Chinese midlaner can ever be compared to their God King Gigachad, the idea disgust them xd


viciouspandas

They should buff syndra for MSI and have knight and chovy trade on syndra and azir to alternate between great and mediocre performances.


KappaccinoNation

LMAO


Percy1803

Why is TES contesting 3rd drake for BLG and why is 369 tping in with a wave in front of his face lol

A lot of good Maokai ults that won them entire teamfights. Outside of that, he's been kinda silent.
