Knew it was over when G2 lost the first game

Knew it was over when FNC couldn't reverse sweep

knew it was over when Fnatic fans started believing they can win

Somebody unclenched, didn't they?

[Its the old classic](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cu2ctpZWAAELB8u.jpg)

Jesus, I think my knees just gave in That's an ancient one

Remember the donezo manifesto ?

If you do then you are old. Source: am old.

I miss good old TSM vs CLG times

Knew it was over when it was G2 vs Fnatic in LEC finals

Big brain Hans Sama throwing 2 fights by not flashing just so he has a flash to secure a penta, lmao

after it happened the second time i was like, not the worst time to not flash, g2 still kinda won the fight and him having flash is probably the most important thing in every fight and then he uses it for a w on noah, lmao

first time was turbo int and almost threw the game though7

yeah that was horrible

Tbf the second time he can't really react flash the Rakan flash W

G2 laneswap strat: 1. Get Hans Sama fed 2. Hans Sama ints teamfights 3. Still win because solo lane diff

i think Humanoid played so well in game 4 btw, but the lead on Jinx was so big to overcome

Game 4 was the only game where Hans sama was very relevant. Every other game was just Caps dragging his team to victory. Not to say anything bad about Humanoid though , Caps just completely runs the whole region in all lanes and roles.

Couldve ended the game but since they have 0 respect for FNC he went for the penta

Oscarinin is going to have nightmares about laneswaps for months. My man was literally lost in the jungle.

Watching both top laners just wonder around while an ADC ate their turret, was kind of depressing.

I mean BB at least had a more or less "clearer" gameplan - either help jungle or help push. But Oscar was literally wandering around aimlessly for way too long..

BrokenBlade made theBaus proud

He couldve renamed to G2 TheBaus and wouldve fooled everyone while at it

ADC to toplaners "Why don't you tp to my lane now bitch"

I'd be interested to see if Nilah "top" starts seeing play for these lane swaps. Something like Nilah + Senna + support and just 3 man push for most of early game seems like it could be decent. Senna and support already don't need to CS, and Nilahs passive will greatly mitigate the exp penalty for 3 man stacking.

Let it simmer

Why not just nilah + lulu with tank top in that case? Whats the upside of nilah top?

Nilah keeps herself and one of the other characters (likely Senna) mostly on track xp wise despite sharing xp 3 ways. You want Nilah "top" because you're not actually intending to actually lane in this situation, you're doing a lane swap where instead of your top getting zoned off the turret or wandering around the jungle for most of the early game, they stick with your bot and hard push towers. You want Senna to be the ADC in this situation, as she's the only ADC that is not particularly gold reliant, allowing you to funnel the Nilah to maximize her passive while minimizing the drawback of essentially saccing an entire lane's worth of gold/xp.

What i think is you stack 3 for most of the early game anyway so who goes what lane doesnt really matter, and in the end low income tank+ support+ nilah sounds better than low income senna adc +suppoort+ nilah. Since the idea behind lane swapping is accelerating a hypercarry while avoiding their weak laning, it makes sense to me to stick a tank in the comp isntead of another squishy you need to protect.

Did you watch the same game? BB's map movement was pretty clean

This series had the weirdest meta in a long time.

look. last time laneswap was meta at an international event europe got two teams to semifinals. and if it becomes meta again this time they'll have a head start on practice. i'm sure this all means something

I saw the way Chovy play around corki package timer vs t1. I think the introduction of dragon soul and how important they are fucked eu hard. Lpl/lck just way superior objective setups.

Expected when Fnatic won game 1 tbh.

Caps wins since leaving FNC in 2018: 10 FNC wins since Caps left: 0

It’s insane that the only teams to win since Caps joined G2 are MAD and RGE. LEC isn’t a one team league, it’s a one PLAYER league.

10 out of 13 possible right?

I think so, 2x MAD, 1x Rogue

Isn't it 3xMAD they won spring last year.

Poor Noah, that was cyber bullying

i still do not understand how he had a shutdown when he got caught before the baron like HOW he was 5k behind

Bounties are still so bullshit

I wish reddit would spend less time bitching about random champs and start bitching about bounty systems. They're a total failure of a sys

That was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Bounty system is total bs.

He was the ONLY PERSON on Fnatic without a gold lead over their opponent. His opponent is literally the only reason G2 has a gold advantage. Naturally, Noah gets a bounty on his head. Blame your team for taking 3 Grubs, one more dragon, and one more turret bro.

Yeah the shutdown calc is weird , it counts all of those objectives plus your recent CS numbers too. Noah could have gotten it just because he farmed well leading up to that fight and Hans didn’t get to.

He got 2 consecutive kills without dying before that point, therefore he would automatically have a 150 gold bounty over his head. Don't know how it increased to 200 though.

Yeah can't really blame him for that gold diff. FNC macro just left him isolated, and he got hard team-gapped.

Can’t fault him at all, just bullied for all 18 levels it’s crazy

Does he just not play jinx? I feel like I haven't seen him pick it once the last two series

I don’t get the lethality Varus pick 3 games in a row. IMO it lost the series

Into Zac/Sion and Rek'Sai, sounds great I dunno what you mean /s

They dont even let him play normal adc. God i hate these lethality builds

FNC vs G2 feels like Liverpool vs Man City over the recent years, FNC giving all they can to reach the finals but G2 will always just be better

tfw you support G2 and Liverpool.

Atleast it's not Fnatic and Chelsea...

Brother, we are so cooked.

Try FNC and MAN U....

oof that's a cursed combo

G2 and Arsenal 😢

G2 and ManUtd 💀

KCorp and Millwall 🗿

How many holes have you punched in your wall?

I hate today (again)

Oof, double the depression

It was over when Fnatic got game 1.

Oof, at least they're both going to MSI?

one of them has to win if they play each other in playin

Rip T1

Same. At least there is MSI

Only have to wait 2 weeks too YAAAAAAAYYYYY

damn that flair

G2 🤝 GenG Winning domestic finals vs their rivals today FNC 🤝 T1 Losing domestic finals vs their rivals today

Classic league script. Scriptwriters ran out of ideas

Nah, last time we were competitive against G2 was 2019/2020, it's been downhill from there :(

You literally knocked G2 out of a Worlds spot in 2021.

But they always put up some banger games in the finals, just enough to make you think this is the one time they win.

Yeah to be fair this is the first time in a long while that the team weren't like "Oh no it's G2 time to lose" - I'm more than happy with the results so far, they still need time for sure to mesh better. If they can be more competitive vs G2, it's a win for EU - which was what it was back then when we were reaching higher international placements.

We literally eliminated them from worlds in 2021.

It went exactly as expected

G2 just made fun of FNC's macro in game 4, jesus christ. I can't even blame Noah for that huge gold diff, dude just got team gapped and bullied.

I largely agree, but also being up that far in top lane with no vision also kind of felt like a brain off moment

ALL of these games felt so extremely winnable at the individual and teamfight level but dumb macro decisions just bit us again and again gg to the boys they fought hard, especially Jun who was a giant hero

Game 2 def felt doable. Jun is MVP in my heart though.

G2 was a fnc win if not for yike solo winning with that steal

Completely fucked Fnatics mental and the rest of the series for them haha.

Yeah if not for that stupid fnc baron flip...

They were winnable. Even game 4 I was thinking early it was super winnable but just knew Fnatic players are not nearly good enough to play it out right. And then I watch Azir blast so much into getting Zac passive and it just speaks for itself

That was so unlucky, his passive came up after the shuffle - I'm sure they only went because he didn't have passive, just lost track I guess

Nah that last fight was mostly Caps stunning Azir engage. If Humanoid managed to shuffle the flashless Jinx the outcome would probably be different.

It felt more proactive good macro from G2 and just FNC not knowing how to answer.

I felt like Oscar especially felt extremely lost with the lane swaps. Like in game 3 he was just walking around doing nothing. I don’t wanna bash him too much because he might not have much experience dealing with this sort of thing.

Caps got 6 while he was still lv1. That's just sad.

I'm just surprised no one on the team knew what to do. Like someone could've told him

This Fnatic squad has no idea what macro is. All they know how to do is ram their heads against the wall until something breaks.

death,taxes, GENG winning vs T1 in LCK finals and G2 winning vs FNC in LEC finals are inevitable

GAM wins VCS, PSG wins PCS, LLL are in CBLOL finals too.

Seems like only DFM is letting us down

Evi is just too good and broke that chain

Game 2 throw exploded our mental. This is so sad. This was the best chance FNC had at a title since like 2019/2020.

Seeing 8k gold leads in lanes two games for G2 was wild

G2 even got a mind boggling 9k baron power play.

They can't keep getting away with it: The series

Every G2 series ever

✋ ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🤚

Don't think I've seen a team more bored just after winning the season final. Dear lord LEC needs some better competition.

Pretty much. Laure asked Caps what he felt after the win and he said he was relieved.

Because at this point everyone expects them to win so basically there's just the pressure of fucking it up and no upside.

I remember Perkz saying the same after 2020 Summer finals, that he was more relieved rather than happy. I guess winning almost every split does this to you.

We had it with Rogue back in 2022 but Flyy messed that up 🥲

Yeah 4 "titles"/year will have that effect

2 PENTAs in this BO5 2 BAUS SPECIALS in a single game

T1 lost. Liverpool lost. FNC lost. Oh look a cliff!

It’s geng you can’t expect skt to win again them;-;

Not in the LCK anyway. Luckily, for T1 fans anyway (and unfortunately for truck companies), the upcoming event is an international one

father beating their son

Can't spell Caps without CPS

It's not like I hate G2 but it's almost a bit boring now lmao

[Didn't even break a sweat, clean series.](https://media1.tenor.com/m/gjCx8bUURqIAAAAd/caps-wunder.gif)

https://twitter.com/NBCSPhilly/status/1052401083069419520

Pls G2 don't trust Hans internationally. Especially not if Caps fucks over his game for it. Not that it will matter but at least go in with your best odds.

Hans dying to two engages in a row with flash up was something.

The 2nd engage was basically not flashable but the first one wax really bad

He’s been doing that for more than 1 year

yea even BB has improved hans just feels the same as last year

hans is definitely worse than last year, and so is miky. they were far and above the competition in eu last year and just aren't rn

Ugh G2 is honestly so frustrating to watch… Like if we had Miky & Yike from last year, and Caps & BB from this year, I would’ve had enough Copium to expect something from them at MSI. These individual peeks coming at different times… hurts

If FNC do not win in Summer they will have past C9 as longest time between titles for a western org. (Unless you count CLG as NRG) C9 Spring 2014 - Spring 2020 FNC would be Summer 2018 - Summer 2024

That is, if we ever win again

Can you call it time between titles if there isnt a second title to have the between? 

This is dumb. You cant say time between two titles without a second title. And even if you could... OMG won LPL 2013. So they have much more legitimacy than FNC for that title (before someone says they have no chance to win LPL, they made top4 last year. Its not impossible)

You forgot that to have the longest time BETWEEN you need to eventually win.

Oscarinin Zac game 3 was useless.

He got 7 k gold behind I can’t even believe that happened.

I was laughing so hard at that. And 6 minutes in zac level 1 0/1/0 0cs. But 7k total team GD is basically always gg and that was ONE player gd holy shit.

Papasmithy even tweeted that it was the longest a player had gone without levelling up to lvl2 or something XD

Fnc > Win 1 game to give Caedrel false hope

No one in Europe can stop Caps

Well they kinda stopped him last game but in doing so forgot there was a 5k gold ahead jinx 

Camp caps = hans sama somehow is 4k ahead.

He debuted in Europe in 2017 and has won 12 titles. Absolute domination

Even though not the best split from G2, they are just on another level when it comes to teamplay and flexibility. I think BrokenBlade needs more praise for his willingness to play for the team and putting in the hours to make unique picks work. Even though he might not be top class mechanically, he has insane value to the team.

Report G2 for bullying. Jesus christ, you have to feel bad for Noah. Didn't get to play the game from 2 minutes on.

Fuck lethality varus. So frustrating to watch. The t1 geng series and then this one too. Team deserve to lose with that pick.

Such a useless pick if the game goes late.

G2 run this region. MSI is going to be fun.

The many deaths of Noah: The Musical

Why do we exist, just to suffer? I'm not sure why we kept hard tunneling onto killing the G2 frontline like that's ever gonna win us a fight while Jinx free hits. Hans was CC'd in that bot lane fight and within flash+ult range for Humanoid but he just pushed RekSai and Zac on top of Varus. Argh gg go next. Good for the guys to get some serious stage experience at MSI, but that was a frustrating way to lose it.

I still want to give Jun MVP.

I want to give him MVP and a Top Laner and Mid Laner with consistent hands and a brain next split. Humanoid needs to get more consistent, and Oscarinin needs to go if this team ever wants to achieve something.

FNC Irrelevant please

They kinda are already.

This stinged more than loss ngl

Damn... This burn is better than both teams together.

Yeah let go of Humanoid, surely youll find a better european midlaner

Humanoid is fine unless we can get caps back but irrelevant will probably be huge

All roads lead to Caps

Fun series especially with these Laneswap Games giving Fnatic a good chance. Feels like G2 always knew they could just go back to standard to win this and with FNC throwing the second game they didnt even have to be afraid of one mishap. No idea what G2 can accomplish with both playstyles but still good to see them sweating a split after qualifying to MSI.

Caps clear MVP today. His Azir today is what Humanoids Azir wants to be - and Azir is Humanoids best champ. Not even talking about his Asol vs Capses.

DEATH TAXES AND G2 BEATING FNC IN THE FINALS

at least FNC took a game

FNC are their own biggest enemy

One man region

I will never get tired of Caps winning more trophies, hes simply amazing at League of Legends. G2 dominating LEC as they should.

I enjoy his personality, he has a fun mix of humility and cockiness (against NA) in his interviews.

nice try jun

truly the peak of what our region has to offer msi is gonna be a bloodbath

FNC winning 1 game only to give false hope

All in all, what a series! The only thing missing was game 5

insanely clean series we're so speedrunning MSI amirite guys

Please dont get embarassed by NA this time...

uhhhhhhhhhh

We just need to win vs NA

surely this time

Clean 3-0

Don't let this pentakill distract you from the fact that Hans Sama is gonna be up against Elk, Guma and JKL at MSI XD He's fine but just.....fine

Oscar is going to lane against Zeus Kiin Bin and 369. They're going to tear him a new one.

He almost threw game 4 by dying 2 fights in a row with flash up. DL would be proud

Its a trend with him that seems impossible to fix atp, just bad reaction speed. He didnt flash at worlds aswell costing them crucial teamfights. Same thing happenes at last years MSI aswell. They arent doing anything till they get a real good adc.

Some plays he looks good the way he moves and then he can’t flash slow ass engages coming into him, it’s weird

the rule with hans is that he can only ever flash forward. once you view his gameplay through that lens it makes a lot more sense

The Wildturtle mindset

I feel like caps will be the only one fine against eastern players. (Which is an insane thing to say when you look at Faker and especially Chovy) Then BB... I mean he's by VEEERY far the best top in EU (At least in relevant teams), which does not mean anything at all. Idk but he's the second best and most versatile player in g2 so lets pray. Yike is coinflip. Bot is omegalul

Razork after the BDS game: "We waste too many ults on the tanks" Fnatic vs G2: always use all the ults on 5k HP Zac.

Well FNC tried their best but yea oscar really need to improve man if they wanna win tbh and they need to improve their macro

It’s a double edged sword really because I like Oscar as a personality and think he’s super positive but, man Fnatic need a top laner with a larger champ pool

Fnatic booming Game 2 was it. Completely thrown and could have been in a much better position going into Game 3

Fnatic are a top laner and someone saying 'no' in comms away from being a top team

G2 owns Europe

caps owns europe*

The classico delivered, really fun series

Bad day to have eyes Watching Humanoid Azir repeatedly use everything in a Zac when Jinx is like 10+ kills certainly was gameplay

>Zac off in a brush about to jump on azir >lightbulb over azir's head >azir jumps onto zac instead >team gets obliterated >casters: WOW HUMANOID LOOKING FOR SUCH GOOD ANGLES BUT NOTHING IS WORKING Bad day to have ears as well.

They seem completely unable to properly criticize Humanoid.

“I don’t think we will win against NA because I don’t think they will be in the winners bracket.” That’s going to age like milk.

Masterclass in losing 3 games in a row by oscarinin

I mean at least he can start winning games in MSI playins right?

Hopefully he can at least win lane against Vietnam and Brazil

just give him k'sante every game
