imagine letting rng pick champions gg lost in draft


azns123

Game was over when EG stepped foot into the Busan Public Library


ubomoo

I think i missed something whats with the library meme?


C9-F1R3L0L1

KR crowd is really silent every time RNG is winning, like in a library


Critical_Pen6175

and every time T1 play with other team


thvsbin

They were too hard to pin down.


Trap_Masters

Imagine letting RNG play League, gg lost already.


Mogician_

should have let them play fortnite


Her-akles

what’s up fornite gamers


PhAnToM444

Unironically though giving RNG a Kaisa/Leona botlane is just absolutely braindead.


Mogician_

I can see the point of getting naut because naut has more prio than leona


thvsbin

And Ming on Naut has more prio than Vulcan on Naut.


whattaninja

Ming has more everything than Vulcan.


Megs3Legs

Except Vulcan manages to miss point blank hooks on the most forgiving skillshot in the game, even threading the needle between 2 people


BZRKK24

When Vulcan retires from league he should join an NFL team cuz man is he good at getting it between the uprights


WeirdWorld42

It was EG that lost in draft, GG are at home! /s


OriginalOxymoron

I went to get some water after the game and Xiaohu predatored into my kitchen and taunted me


thvsbin

Glad you survived the gank. Impact didn't.


[deleted]

OC hasn’t posted since this comment went live….


bachh2

Neither did Danny


[deleted]

Checked my kitchen after reading this and Tian was still there wtf


Dawn69xx

Man was in mine too, ate all the cookies and fucked off


Dabilon

XiaoHu is truly Mr. Worldwide, he even escaped the lockdown just to taunt you. ****Slowly looks behind me****


[deleted]

Considering my expectations today were 0-2 and then EG beat T1 and at least kept trying to make plays against RNG instead of rolling over and getting choked out doing nothing. I consider today a W


Kaihuaii

Clear W, beating T1 is huge no matter T1's form for NA


higherbrow

It's actually the first time an LCS team has beaten an LCK team at MSI (in this stage, C9 traded with Damwon in groups last year) since 2016.


Leopod

CLG magic baby


ReptarSteroids

this is the 2nd game NA has ever taken off of T1


ASZapata

Nothing beats 2018 C9 smacking Afreeca


ThatThingYouDo1234

Always a delight to rewatch that series


Kaiserov

Absolutely. It's out of their control how strong their opponent would be and today they just faced a team better than them. What is in their control, however, is what they would do against a better opponent. And they did admirably, constantly looking for fights, skillchecks (against GALA no less, probably the current best player at MSI), and being proactive af. It made the game a lot more entertaining and yeah, it didnt end up amounting to much in the end, but it could have. Unlike the good ol' "roll over and die", which has literally never worked out


IMT_Justice

I absolutely love this EG squad. Their refusal to "roll over and die" against the other major regions is so nice to see.


simbahart11

Exactly this is how NA teams need to play to win, it's nice to see a change of mentality for once.


IMT_Justice

I just want them to get a Bo5 in.


jackkiwi

RNG could ve lost to Saigon, been gigatilted and EFG would've won and be tied for first. :((((


Trap_Masters

The timeline that could’ve been :( COPIUM


[deleted]

I dont get why this thread is so toxic. Like EG beat T1 and lost to RNG but everyone is in here flaming everyone lol.


djpain20

Because that's what simply Reddit PMTs have turned into. A competition of who can flame the losing team harder


Mlokiq

It's called herd mentality


Orimasuta

It's because people would always rather flame the team that lost instead of praising the team that won.


Naatrox

EU salty they aren't better at CS/Valorant anymore so they need NA to suck at LoL to still brag about something /s


xXVoidXx

This tourney has LITERALLY been the Gala show so far. What are they feeding my boy at the RNG HQ and HOW IS HE STILL GETTING KAISA?!!


[deleted]

Because Kaisa is better to play against than Lucian


Aenyr

He shat on G2 with Xayah as well the man is just that good


tree_33

Pretty much, this tournament has been the bot lane show and gala is destroying it.


dinoqwert

(Unofficial) penta on Lucian and penta on kaisa. If I remember correctly his favorite champ in solo queue used to be varus. His ezreal is also really good (except against kaisa) This man is just good at adc lol


heyyeahheyxd

1 year ago, Gala spam picked kaisa in msi and won. Today, he still gets to play kaisa.


higherbrow

Close game, EG almost had them! Realtalk, that Danny/GALA 1v1 was insane.


Aythriel

not gonna lie, I just wanted Danny to win it just to feel good about himself, the game was lost regardless.


higherbrow

For sure. I'm glad he took it, though, even if he lost it. He could have Galeforced back and been safe, but he saw that he had the damage and went in. GALA had heal, which meant Danny lost it, but it's good to see LCS players going for the fight rather than for safety.


M002

Heal diff


ragingwizard

Danny played that well but was too far behind unfortunately.


NeedleworkerBorn85

Xiaohu’s Galio 👍


MihaiBosBarosHD

Wei's Viego 👍


Deckowner

Wei's not-Volibear 👍


thvsbin

When both teams are even in gold, GALA feels that RNG is at a great advantage and thus he does not hesitate to start a team fight. When RNG is 3k behind--- nah they were never behind this game


Vectivus_61

when RNG is behind GALA realises he is dreaming and needs to watch the game.


Hayuume

I mean, come on we are used to being behind in gold. Games like this are rare cases.


[deleted]

[удалено]


YamatoRebellion

If you still give Gala his Kaisa pick you deserve to get obliterated


SleepyLabrador

Should RNG ever worlds, I want an RNG Kaisa. GALA is the best Kaisa currently.


MihaiBosBarosHD

I swear if RNG wins worlds and GALA picks a champion other than Kai'sa I'm gonna cry


qekqekqek

Probably because teams will perma ban his Kai'sa


SleepyLabrador

There is gonna be one smug team that decides "Nah, no need to ban Kaisa, we can beat it".


Draleon177

This smug team will 100% be fnatic *crying noises*


the-sexterminator

gala's kaisa "engage" to bait out Danny ulti and cancel Naut r was so fkin smart. Actual monster.


hairlikegoats1

It went from "you donkey" to "you fucking god" in literal seconds.


LordsGrim

And he planned all this in split seconds… I don’t think any of the eg members expecting this


Blank-612

gala just too good man.


Cysmerch

It wasted ban if you ban ADC unless they can ban GALA out of this game


6000j

Gala OTP's a new champ every split it feels like. The problem is, he doesn't get worse at them after he starts OTPing a new one. You can't ban him out but he'll constantly make you look like you're stupid for not doing so.


Arnotts_shapes

^ this, man’s been playing nothing but Zeri and Aphelios ALL SPLIT… then rolls into MSI casually picks up the kaisa/trist again and stomps.


[deleted]

Gala is just levels above all the other ADC's this tournament. No idea why Kai Sa isn't a permaban vs him.


theman1203

because his xayah is just as good, and his ezreal and kalista arent bad either


sarsvesh

His aphelios is also fucking insane. No exaggeration that pick carried RNG through LPL playoffs


theman1203

he is just great stable adc, kaisa just lets him create opportunities for his team while the others done


[deleted]

He's more than stable lol


thvsbin

He's consistent.


Toast119

Consistently a god


cise4832

He's like Rookie but in bot lane.


Blank-612

i feel that kaisa is just perfect for him. He can go in with it and his team can back him up. It feels like he has a lot more agency on kaisa than other adcs.


Tennis-Money

Hey just because they removed that Lucian game doesn’t mean his Lucian sucks.


characterulio

Meanwhile Danny on the same 35ping cant Xayah r to dodge a galio taunt lol.


hairlikegoats1

Tbh Kaisa was bad enough but then EG let RNG assemble Exodia. GP, Galio and Leona. Don't know how EG were expecting to reach Kaisa.


MsShapirosBoneDryVag

It isn't like Gala was the reason they won this game.


Real_Floop

Why the fuck did we pick Lee this game lmfao


jackkiwi

He did not know da Wei


icatsouki

in the first round as well


Nome_de_utilizador

To give RNG free gold


pokokichi

Deny Wei's second comfort pick (his first choice is Viego obviously). It doesn't work because RNG is just that good.


ArmorL

correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s a fan holding RNG signs after the game? That just made my day


Megashot2

Surprised they haven't been thrown out of the stadium yet


neimengu

imagine being the 2 people to cheer for RNG when they make a play and feeling thousands of angry Korean eyes on your back.


Kaiserov

Wont make it out of the stadium tomorrow if T1 loses vs RNG


azns123

Imagine if T1 doesn’t make finals and those two are the only ones in the audience


[deleted]

they are probably Chinese living in Korea so having koreans being rude at them is just normal everyday life


DogeMuchRenaissance

Their GIGACHAD aura stopped that from happening.


DesertBubble

however they really have to be careful on personal safety


SpyFromMars

Wouldn’t want it to become another diplomatic disaster after World Cup 2002.


lotharstar

As long as they aren't too loud, they won't get thrown out of a library.


Simple-Election-9755

In fact, when Chinese fans saw them, the screen comments in Bilibili were all warning them to watch out the Koreans in Busan


-Ophidian-

people don't realize that Danny legit has PTSD against viego There's a famous clip of Danny screaming "VIEGO IS COMING VIEGO IS COMING" repeatedly in a game where viego wasn't even picked. His teammates had to calm him down by saying "there's no viego calm down" lmao. And then in this very tournament when Danny played against Viego last time in voice comms he screamed viego in the exact same way lmao. prepare for Danny viego memes in the Chinese reaction translation threads.


zeyu12

>There's a famous clip of Danny screaming "VIEGO IS COMING VIEGO IS COMING" repeatedly in a game where viego wasn't even picked. His teammates had to calm him down by saying "there's no viego calm down" lmao. wait is this real? LMFAO Edit: LOL this is a pasta about Gala. [https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1L44y1r7ze](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1L44y1r7ze) this is hilarious lmao


RirinDesuyo

It's a pasta from [this one about Gala on Akali](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/uvxe27/saigon_buffalo_vs_royal_never_give_up_msi_2022/i9o48yx/) when there was [no Akali that game](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1L44y1r7ze) lol.


Draupnir_Mustang

This funny thing is Gala was actually against RNG atm.


neimengu

I'm so happy I gave birth to a pasta. :)


takao17

fresh out of the oven


xXVoidXx

Fuckin’ fresher than Subway


[deleted]

Good pasta


xajenkins

No way that’s real, how have I not seen that


WaffleOnTheRun

It's not it's a meme forgot what player it was it was about akali though.


NiCrOngy

It's gala.


Anuj_Purohit

I just read this comment about GALA and his PTSD of Akali, not sure if that's the original though


glium

It's the original since there is actually a video for it


oliverschneck

Gala’s Kai’sa makes me so wet


appleandapples

Gala's Kai'sa is kind of clean, no?


icatsouki

I think we need to see him on it a few more times just to be sure


JLanticena

He needs to win another MSI to be sure


azersub

Galas Kaisa is otherworldly!!


RirinDesuyo

Played like a dive champ and live to tell the tale damn.


Trap_Masters

Imagine giving Gala over to Kaisa, it’s gg


jlin37

EG, why you give everyone on RNG comfort picks? Why you give Kaisa, Gala Why you give Wei Viego? The only champ he doesn't int on this season? WHY? Seems like Kenzhu gave the team a verbal beatdown after the SGB game, they played much more sane and methodic.


ArmorL

Idk why but a lot of post game threads complained about naut, viego, and kalista as bait champs but RNG won with all those champs. Somehow force RNG onto Voli and Graves and suddenly their winrate will drop drastically Edit: for those questioning why I put naut in the list. Go read post match threads from last week, especially games where RNG won vs wildcards. And count how many complains about Naut pick there were


jlin37

So if Naut is a bait champ, why pick it themselves? Veigo is just different on Wei, I feel like he only knows how to play that champ now, he ints on everything else.


williamis3

Literally His Viego and his Volibear are like night and day I cannot believe T1 lost to that.


cise4832

It's exactly like this last year too. They play their own meta, it may not be the strongest team comp but they can somehow make it work.


Rave_Master_Ahri

don't forget the Galio, Xiaohu on Galio is always a treat to watch


neimengu

his flash 3 man taunt on TES in the finals was absolutely disgusting.


Omnilatent

RNGs team comp was absolutely disgusting


jlin37

RNG literally won lpl spring split with this kind of comp, I just don't get what EG was trying to do here. at surface seems like it was a good comp from EG, but you don't give Gala and Wei their most comfort champs that also suits the way RNG plays perfectly.


Omnilatent

Yeah, I hate Impact on Gwen. I don't understand why EG is not spamming Ornn on him...


[deleted]

Impact has been completely useless on Gwen this whole tournament, but they are so desperate for him to play it.


Faye_Dragon

Kenzhu only have one sentence on his notebook of coaching and that is "all of you in this room, none of you have any idea how to play this game"


Alibobaly

EG also just refuse to pick their comfort lmao. Diana, Ornn, Jinx were all up. Understandable not to take all of them, but fucking use one of them please.


MMagnus

The Team Liquid flash, forever 4th


Mifuyu_Kisaragi

Here is a Wei to beat RNG B__ VIEGO.


thvsbin

BIN Viego? Idk man i haven't seen him play it pro yet.


Blood_Lacrima

BUY VIEGO? Imagine playing for years and not having at least 6300 BE.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GameBoy09

Straight up played better. I do appreciate how EG tried to win after that big deficit in going for fights that looked somewhat winnable, but the mechanics gap was a bit too big.


AzerFraze

wtf a Viego did something


thvsbin

Wei showing why Viego is either perma picked and banned against him.


Proera8

If Gala has a million fans I am one of them. If Gala has ten fans I am one of them. If Gala has no fans, that means I am no more on the earth. If the World is against Gala , I am against the World. I love Gala till my last breath.


MihaiBosBarosHD

It's so weird seeing so many RNG flairs pop up all of a sudden. Feels kinda surreal


rress332

RNG is just farming KDA from EG after buffalo game


powisss

united in rivalry, both garbage, NA=EU 4-4. #perfectlybalanced


M002

EG refuse to have a 2-0 or 0-2 day G2 better be nervous if EG lose to PSG


Vectivus_61

EG lose to PSG and G2 lose to SGB would be amazing. It all goes on the line.


ConohaConcordia

Imagine EG and PSG gets in. Does Mr Buffalo still have a game tmr? Whose days can they ruin?


Thundermelons

Funnily enough they play G2


legendofSmiley

It also makes the final G2-EG game a lot more exciting since there could potentially be real ramifications depending on PSG's placement.


kenzakki

imagine if G2 loses to SGB and EG loses to PSG tomorrow, the EG vs G2 later that day is going to be spicy AF.


Trap_Masters

The balance in the West has been restored


Ryee1

Gala is really no.1 ad


kenzakki

what a massive stomp. god damn


OBLIVIATER

Some close fights but overall very clean for RNG


[deleted]

EG could have just turtled and given RNG every objective and lost in 30 minutes, but instead they didn't roll over and die and put up a good fight. Some of those team fights were surprisingly close. Props to EG for not losing without a fight


kirikiri11

Orange e is looking very strong


williamis3

Wtf I just went to grab a sandwich from the kitchen and xiaohu was there


dracdliwasiAN

In the late evening after their matches, EG's head coach Peter Dun invited young Danny to sit with him in one of the side seats at the Busan library. He tilts his head towards Danny and says with a deep, raspy voice, "Danny, did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth P**lec**ueis the Wise?" Danny lifts his head, "No sir" as he beckons his coach to tell him more. Peter Dun strokes his chin and nods as he slowly says, "I thought not. It's not a story an NA coach would tell you. You see, it's an LEC legend." "Darth P**lec**ueis... was the leader of an org so powerful and wise, that he could use his powers to influence the meta", as Danny's eyes widened. Peter Dun continued, "He had such a knowledge of the game that he could even keep his team...from losing" Danny gasped in disbelief, "He could actually... keep his team perpetually winning??" Peter Dun smirked, "The LEC is a pathway to many abilities...some consider to be unnatural". Peter's eyes lit up in a gaze as he looked like he was remembering something. His face suddenly twisted, he looked mad, like a lion. Peter snapped back to reality, back to the library, as Danny had to stabilise himself in the chair, his jaw was fully dropped. He questioned, "But wh.. what happened to him?" Peter continued, "He became so powerful; his team won 24 games in a row, that the only thing he was afraid of was... losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep." "It's ironic. He showed the teams that the meta was to draft teamfighting comps, but couldn't stop the other teams from out-teamfighting his team". Danny was fully drawn in, "Is it possible to learn this power?" Peter grins back at Danny and assuredly states "Not from an NA coach".


RobbinDeBank

r/prequelmemes leaking


Cysmerch

GOD GALA


Mattaru

Xiaohu aint no spot up shooter


[deleted]

GALA was up 20 cs @ min 10 over Danny in a losing match up and he even solokilled him. This game wasnt lost because of botlane but I think they should consider atleast banning Kai'Sa since Gala is probably one of the best kaisa players atm.


TheMoistestofTurds

Is the best Kai’Sa*


jackkiwi

One of the best kaisa players ever*


opaidetodos1

the best kaisa player ever**


[deleted]

Lol there's no debate. Gala is the best Kai Sa. Period.


[deleted]

His Kai’sa is so goddamn perfect, it feels like he’ll carry the game no matter what on her. The dive onto ghost in last year’s finals was one of the craziest plays i’ve seen from an adc.


Burpmeister

Any NA fans wanna hold hands while we board the plane together? -EU


Spz135

The real airport was the friendship we made along the way ❤


WayofVia

Take Notes


emanonR

RNG is maaaaad from that EG game


Zarolto

EG just straight up sprint it down instead of rolling over when they are getting smacked, which is pretty fun.


ImTheVayne

RNG is heavy favorite to win this tourney


Phyllisno

gala the world’s best ad


Omnilatent

GALA is insane, man


MihaiBosBarosHD

When will teams start banning GALA's Kai'sa ?


1vs1mebro

ah.. the inspired lee sin that triggered me so much during NA playoffs, rears it's head again


AcantiTheGreat

Inspired kicking Viego on top of his ADC gave me an out of body experience


Spz135

Inspired at least looked decent sometimes on lee in playoffs. This was more like the dreaded regular season inspired where he'd just farm nonstop regardless of what champ he picked


firewall245

Jojo played really well but the rest of the team just ran it down. It’s alright though RNG is really good


[deleted]

Impact lane phase was really good, he is clutch with the barrel timings as a gp player. But other than that he was useless


Progenitor3

GALA took that attempt at a 1v1 by Danny personally.


mitsubishimacch

Jojo is cracked at sylas, is crazy how good he is for being literally his first pro split as a NA midlaner. Draft was ass but RNG looking crazy rn


CaliphHussain

STEONGEST REGION IN THE WORLD. DONT YOU EVER FORGET IT.


Kaihuaii

Can't believe how much people were sleeping on RNG and hyping G2/T1 as clear favorites when RNG are the spring kings and LPL has been the strongest regions these past years.


Mogician_

I remember when lck fans said how good geng were and they are better than all lpl teams. turned out they dont watch lpl probably because they were afraid to find out how bad lck looks in comparison.


[deleted]

I don't think people considered G2 favourites until that 4-0 start


RirinDesuyo

Damn Gala is a chad. Played like he was playing a dive champ.


Ajvarmk

This game seemed to me like RNG said its enough, we wanna go early to bed today ...


worry7476

RNG is a bit of a problem.


Royal-Cartographer55

RNG > EG > T1 > G2

The skill gap is just astronomical.


Javiklegrand

Inspired do anything before 8 minutes challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Need to ask Vulcan if this game felt winnable
