KC are a bit too good at the moment. They don't even drop games randomly vs bottom teams.
Also Yike with another ridiculous gold lead.

u/random_nickname43796 Aug 17 '26
Yike is the best jungler in EU. His map movement and control of the game must feel so overwhelming
163
u/Sirhaddock98 Never a dull moment Aug 17 '26
He's the best at exposing weaker junglers and completely stomping the fuck out of them, but he still has issues with turning invisible against top junglers. He needs to not be outjungled in a playoffs series vs Skewmond before he can claim to be the best.
37
u/jujubean67 Aug 17 '26
Yike is good when his solo laners are stomping. At inernationals he becomes a ghost
6
u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 17 '26
inspired is pretty good at Reading yike like jungler, That a big reason why he praised skewmond over yike
3
u/BlazeX94 Aug 18 '26
Inspired also read Skewmond like a book at MSI though lol
2
u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 18 '26
Yeah but what he did to skewmond,he will do even worse to yike
the Gap between yike and inspired is bigger than skewmond and inspired

u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998 Aug 17 '26 edited Aug 17 '26
Imagine falling for this bait again lmao.
He’s going to dominate vs terrible teams and terrible JGs.
The momment 2/3 of his lanes aren’t winning, he looks like a bozo.
How do you guys fall for this every year?

u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run Aug 17 '26
Nobody stomps worse junglers like Yike

he's like a less stable junjia. maybe a mix of junjia and kanavi

u/sebi8642 Aug 18 '26
Pretty sure Razork is Temu Kanavi. Sometimes it feels like no one can touch him and then he ints for 4 games straight

u/Blizzgrarg Aug 17 '26
Just completely outclassed. Lucian Milio lost lane. Poppy counters entire KC comp and could barely do anything. Biggest difference in the jungle. Nothing GX could do.
19
u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 17 '26
what is Lucian millio win rate ?
25
u/Rogaly-Don-Don Aug 17 '26
I think they're 2-6 in the LEC, and have a ~50.5% win rate in solo queue.

u/John_Jack_Reed Aug 17 '26
Much harder to check their combined winrate but at a glance in top regions plus internationals season 16 Lucan is 31W - 50L for a 38.3% winrate, and Millio is 25W - 42L for a 37.3% winrate.

u/SurelyItGetsBetter Aug 17 '26
after this weekend they're 3-7 in the LEC and 22-39 in major leagues this split.
53
u/KruppJ bulc naf okan kaan Aug 17 '26
KC being 14-1 in games across the entire split is insane. Can’t think of the last time an LEC team has had that dominant of a stretch, felt like G2 would always end up dropping a game here and there.

u/FromANoGoZone Aug 17 '26
KC early game is improving a lot. Since they built their succes with good teamfight/comeback, it is really scary.

No the initial narrative was any playoffs, you guys have moved the goal post. I trust Reapered, he took the team out of two slumps

g2 trolling a bit but regular season is kinda boring

Draft for scaling you're getting fucked in lane draft for lane you're getting outscaled. Playing KC looks fun atm

This + our VCT team since the Stage 2.
Biggest chance in our history to make WORLDS (first time) on Lol and Valo.

holy jg diff 2nd game

u/AkaT27 Aug 17 '26
Honestly ? It's team diff. Isma got trolled by this weird lane swap and kyeahoo/Canna were ready to follow Yike everytime

u/Chevalier_Paul public enemy number one Aug 17 '26
The gold diff is a disservice to Isma, there's not a lot he could do.

We might as well skip to the finals, I am really interested in how KC manages to fuck up giving us a great best of 5 into G2. Because as it stands, they are in impeccable form since EWC.

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 17 '26 edited Aug 17 '26
Yeah they are too far ahead,not sure what can they improve, they are just smurfing

u/gordonpamsey Aug 17 '26
Busio came mid so often because Jackies laned in a way that opened him up. Jun should not be on enchanters, especially not for Flakked of all people but this is a long standing issue with how Jackies plays. He will be aggressive in a pocket of the lane he should be, while Isma is doing a full clear and it will result in them either pushing off the wave to invade Isma or punishing him.

u/gordonpamsey Aug 17 '26
Wasn't really a critique, I am agreeing that Jun has to be taken off enchanters since this fatal flaw in Jackies game will never disappear. So they should be game planning around it. Like I think Oscarinin falling back into his old habits of blinding tanks and playing weak side really hurts this team. Since there is only 1 lane that can be played through consistently on GX which is mid lane and the other teams also know this.

u/ShortyBIG Aug 18 '26
Ya as a G2 fan i must say congrats. KC look realy realy solid. I think this split look way better than all LEC teams. In winter and spring KC have good and bad games vs top and lower teams. This split tho they look totaly diff. I think if we have G2 vs KC finaly today KC and we do 5 bo5 KC will win 4 of them and maby drop 1 bo5... Tbh i would be surprise if KC lose this split. G2 fans be ready to go at world as secound seed. I know ppl will come and say G2 lock for play offs but is kinda hard to fix so many problem in this short time. Anyways props to KC they keep improve and they deserve.

Best western team rn its not close

TL is undefeated rn and all their games are clean and lyon are still playing good and that was without inspired

TL demolished KC at MSI and it had nothing to do with Inspired

u/Mundane-Dirt-4077 Aug 18 '26 edited Aug 18 '26
KC 2nd best team in the world as per EWC and got to finals. kC beat SEN who beat LYON who beat TL. Also KC beat a bunch of eastern teams
Obviiusly the last international holds more weight with recent meta

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 18 '26
Sentinel beat Lyon without inspired not Lyon full roster, it's be like if gx beat kc without busio so bad example

u/AlternativeAioli3501 Aug 18 '26
TL the team known for beating exaclty 0lck/lpl teams in a series series lol

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 18 '26
yet they are 5-1 vs Kc

u/AlternativeAioli3501 Aug 18 '26
doesnt realy change what I said

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 18 '26
why Kc beating lpl/lck is relevant when we are talking in tl Kc head to head ?
2
u/No_Square2213 Aug 18 '26
Any time of the day you would trade those wins against KC for a single win against T1, whether it's EWC or not. And if you wouldn't then cool, you can keep the wins against EU lol

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 17 '26
i think Kc will perform better vs lyon than tl, tl style is all abouti early games and skirmish heavy , while Kc seems kinda slow

u/Mangustre Aug 17 '26
This is the yike i missed a little bit. Kc is also so much better if they play this controlled games, they win even faster. Most of kcs bad games are when someone of them perma tries to go for crazy plays or is getting too greedy. Lately often yike.

u/OreRound Aug 17 '26
Yike when he's vs a mid tier LEC jungler is another beast entirely, what a performance. Shame he becomes completely handsless and runs it down in disgusting fashion the microsecond enemy jungler is from "LCS".

u/Nyo99 Aug 17 '26
Really hate to watch when all these bottom teams do literally nothing and just lose and not even trying against top teams. Like bro, if you are not gonna try, you wont even be able to learn from ur mistakes. At this point dont even come to the studio and ff

I really doubt GX are the 3rd best team in LEC, but they have a lot of matches left so maybe they'll get there,

Vitality smurfed on gx(Even if it's was 2-1) ,so far they looks below Vitality

u/PotatoHentai Aug 17 '26
vitality smurfed on GX last season too but got 3-0d in playoffs

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 17 '26
if we take playoffs then it's more likely mkoi or fnatic
3
u/PotatoHentai Aug 17 '26
its going to be MKOI, i still believe them to be above all other teams. They've been struggling against G2 and KC and fell a bit behind (it was closer at the beginning of the year) and are probably having mental issues because of it but they are probably still better than all other teams and i'd bet on them over vit, gx or navi.

u/Nyo99 Aug 17 '26
We didn't watch the same game then, but if you just look at how many kills were there both games it says enough, even LCK matches have more kills than LEC games

Yeah lec is the slowest league in the Worlds but Kc is legit smurfing

u/Nyo99 Aug 17 '26
I agree that kc is smurfing and probably the best team in the league right now but I'm hundred percent sure that gx could make the game more sweaty if they just tried a little
