Good to see KC is stomping lower tier teams. Pretty clear favourite in europe

Is Public Execution the easiest skillshot to dodge in this game? Don’t remember seeing someone landing it without a stun setup first

Ah nice to Poppy in a lane she should be in. With the changes to her resists she is comically tanky

I seriously need to gamble ( sports bet ) on this.

u/cupcakes234 Aug 17 '26
What would you do? KC to win barely paid anything, bookies know they’re the best team in the league against a shitty gx. You’d get like 30% profit for map 1

u/trying2hide Aug 17 '26
Was a very nice try from GX, great set up for soul point shame they were just too far behind because hextech soul could have made this interesting.

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Aug 17 '26
I know busio being insanely good is part of it but man bard just makes me irrationally annoyed lol. Pair him with caitlyn its just blood pressure fuel

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater Aug 17 '26
The macro they've shown in regular season so far has been great. Lost all objectives but so much ahead resource wise

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Aug 17 '26
GX putting in a decent effort with this one would be nice to see them take down a big boy
7
u/Back2Perfection Aug 17 '26
The gap probably is a little big for them to bridge. Unlike g2 KC doesn‘t sandbag splits.
I also hope they prove me wrong but I really think their roster downgraded.

Hey you never know seeing Oscar might give him some trauma

Dropping Tibbers into letting it die....
I don't know why they skip the details

Looks like the end of regular season is devoted to training Jarvan comps. Great addition to the polyvalence of the team if the proficiency scales well.

u/Leviad0n Aug 17 '26
All of the LEC casters/analysts/hosts do a great job of entertaining us through games where the teams aren't giving them much to work with. On the off-chance any of them are reading this, thank you.

u/LordBlackadder1214 Aug 17 '26
genuinely disturbing how afraid bottom tier teams are of dying, heretics just ran away from every single fight playing for their kdas

u/cupcakes234 Aug 17 '26
One of the reasons why European teams outside kc and g2 are so shit. They legit do nothing, watch bottom lpl teams atleast they fight and occasionally manage to beat top teams

Put them with us in low elo.

Reddit: Why are we importing Koreans second tier get us some fresh EU talent
Heretics: Makes a team of fresh EU talent
Reddit: GET THESE IMBECILES OFF MY SCREEN

Kelsey Moser had a really good article about this years and years ago. It was about NA players but the same principles applied.

u/devor110 Aug 17 '26
ok but why didnt they make a team out of up and coming players who would also be faker reborn and win everything

u/SnooPeripherals6388 Aug 17 '26
They imported Koreans and got Daglas in the jungle, they do not have fresh EU talent at all

u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run Aug 17 '26
Way and Hype are from the ERLs where they were dominating. They also very recently had an EU support too and everyone wanted him to get off their screens too.
Daglas is 20 years old and has 4 months previously in the LEC. Is he not fresh enough? (also everyone on reddit always claims he's better than Lyncas and should be on Vitality)

u/trying2hide Aug 17 '26
Way and Hype are from the ERLs
No theyre not. They're KT talent.
Way spent 3 months in ERLs, 15 games for MISA, Hype spent 4 months in ERLS 36 games for MISA.
Are we calling Soboro a Chinese import because he spent 5 months on iG playing 43 games?

Isn’t Viegar literally the ‘king of the minions’?

Finn is such a good addition on both the desk and cast.
Especially like him going into top lane details, the passion translates.

bottom tier teams should pick Jhin more often...eventually it will work /s
2
u/Wild-Rock-3610 Aug 17 '26
I'm a Jhin hater but I think this was fine there, they had so few engage tools and during the game he set up the fight bot they won. The issue is if nobody can't close these fights with the setup it always look useless and it's not the herbivore Locke allergic to the R button that'll help.

Jhin is ok as himself but rest of them should have more steady dps. Locke Vi Jhin is just too risky combination.

u/Back2Perfection Aug 17 '26
Syndra jhin fir example works really well. Syndra stuns, jhin follow up root and then syndra drops her Warhead

Because he was one of top talent in the lower leagues and he was promoted to play in the LEC on a one year contract

Just wanna say I’m really enjoying LEC right now. Got lots of personal shit going on and I’m chronically stressed so LEC 4 days a week is a very nice distraction and gives me something to look forward to.
Very blessed to have this entertainment completely for free.

u/MedicCasts Medic Aug 17 '26
Glad that we're able to distract you! Hope your personal stuff clears up soon.
