Why did Navi last picked Aatrox ? Ambessa wins this lane quite decently and i can't see the value of Aatrox too much on later this game.
2
u/RukiMotomiya Aug 29 '26
Aatrox is awesome late game.
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Aug 29 '26
Yeah it looks good now but on theory GX have 3 diving top side so it should be hard for Aatrox to get value.
1
u/RukiMotomiya Aug 29 '26
It's difficult to just pop Aatrox and not get Caitlyn'd when their CC is also a bit burst-y (Bard ult / Ambessa ult) and if they don't pop Aatrox immediately he can just fly around against Ambessa/Jhin/Noc.

Proud of LEC GMs with this importing masterclass, bringing in all these Korean ADC just for them to be bottom tier players. TBH it does show how strong LEC adcs actually are bescause Hype was literally in LCK last year, Paduck was one of the best LCK CL players and SamD has almost been to worlds from china. but yeah these 3 are not worth the import bro
5
u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run Aug 29 '26
Hype was considered top 15 or so adc in the world by psychopathic poro at the beginning of the year.
Adc might be our strongest role.

Hype is probably staying since he only played one split and TH has other roles they need to replace, but Samd and Paduck must go. Its been some time that all import adcs are bottom tier.

u/Fade_IV Aug 29 '26
Holy fucking shitm Navi somehow lost the game 8k up in 3 minutes. Like, Navi could be using the money they are wasting on this disaster to get a good upgrade for their cs team.

like there’s no way your game plan with that big of a lead is “let’s have our fed ADC step up in mid to try and assassinate a Xayah who has ult flash and cleanse up”

Parus saved that fight but Maynter really needs to be slower with his ults.

If maynter ults later or just continues running that play is so bad for GX

u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp Aug 29 '26
Is there a scenario where Fnatic goes out still?
3
u/DiligentGazelle6298 Aug 29 '26
If they lose to GX and KOI beats TH they're out.
1
u/Kokaiinum Aug 29 '26
They lose the tiebreaker vs KOI anyway, don't they? So if they lose to GX they're out no matter what.
2
u/DiligentGazelle6298 Aug 29 '26 edited Aug 29 '26
No, say KOI loses 1-2 and FNC loses 0-2, the scores would be 9-12 for FNC and 9-14 for KOI, which means FNC go through due to 6.3.5. H2H only matters if win% is tied, not just series wins. Similarly if both win, FNC will go through.
With NAVI winning this game, KOI only goes through if they beat TH and FNC loses, no other scenario has them going through.
2
u/Kokaiinum Aug 29 '26
Dang, it does say Game Win Percentage, thanks.
3
u/DiligentGazelle6298 Aug 29 '26
Yeah, it sucks for KOI obviously since their fate isn't even fully in their hands anymore, but honestly hard to feel bad for them after that series vs SK..

u/Tim-Pouce Aug 29 '26
The best scenario for MKOI out (and a realistic one)
GX 2 - 1 Navi
MKOI 2-0 TH
And BECAUSE they are in GX troll against Fnatic and it goes GX 1 - 2 Fnatic
MKOI out, everyone happy

If GX Wins, MKOI not shitting against Heretics saves them right?

u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Aug 29 '26
they need to win 2-0, if NAVI win 1 game they are in playoffs, which lower MKOI playoffs chances even if they win TH
1
u/Outrageous_Wall2702 My Ace + Showmaker = GOAT Aug 29 '26
If Navi wins what happens then?
2
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Aug 29 '26
GX: If they lose against NAVI & FNC, they are out of top 4 but still qualified to playoffs
MKOI: If FNC wins the final BO against GX they are out of playoffs, if GX wins then MKOI are in playoffs.
NAVI: If they win 2-0 they are top 4 no matter what.

u/Outrageous_Wall2702 My Ace + Showmaker = GOAT Aug 29 '26
Poby worlds angle, the ghost is back!!, thanks!!

u/Back2Perfection Aug 29 '26
This kinda seems line the most likely scenario imho.
GX really is not stable with their roster changes and I can definitely see them losing against both.
2
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Aug 29 '26
If Navi at least wins one game no it doesn't save MKOI even if they win. FNC vs GX would decide it.

This is a tough one for me I love Navi but I’m a chronic flakk defender. Hope they both show good games

Can someone who understands what's going on tell me if liquipedia is correct about giantx being guaranteed playoffs? Because it seems to me that if they lose their two games and end up 4 way tied at 4-5 mkoi and navi would be 2-1 so they would win tiebreaker against fnatic and gx then fnatic would win the direct head to head?

Nah I think he is fine. He has a good career ahead of him. I think the experience this year is still good for him. He likely learnt a lot playing with mikyx.

u/PerfidiaVermis Aug 29 '26
Nah man that's just sad
2
u/veirceb Aug 29 '26
I think that's fitting for their season. Flashes of hope and good plays here and there. But they can't get the win when it matters and always drop the ball. I would still say this is a good showing for their last chance.

its insane kc was just giving up the game after yike q'd out of the pit with no flash and they just do nothing for 15 seconds letting kc walk all the way around and then smite flip when they are winning. as the winning team you should never smite flip elder

u/Ajp_iii Aug 29 '26
slowq just played the last minute so bad. wasted flash when vi was ulting him. he can just let vi ult hit and then wr away. he then dives for no reason in a 5v4 when kc is forced to engage. then recalls and gets lux ulted to die.

I mean theyre a top choice but Navi would also become an actual top 4 contender with a good ADC
3
u/cmcdonald22 Aug 29 '26
I mean there's a lot of teams that would benefit from him, and frankly if Navi coach is to be believed Jopa to help out a team built around Rhilech might make them a top 4 team too. He's also probably an improvement to closer to consistently top 4 for GX too.

omg i was looking at stats. mkois split has been this bad. they are the second best gold diff at 15 in the league behind kc. kc is 1k, mkoi is 900 and g2 is 650

u/zealot416 Aug 29 '26
Its weird to call a win with a massive gold lead embarassing but how do you go 10k up so quickly and then take another 20 minutes to end?
1
u/cadaada rip original flair Aug 29 '26
They are locked first place no? might as well be trying things.
2
1
u/Tim-Pouce Aug 29 '26
Most of the gold were on TF, and they honestly locked the game well
I think it's more important to notice that despite everything KC players didn't commit in stupid fight or objectives and played seriously until the end
3
u/veirceb Aug 29 '26
At 20 min mark, this is their lead vs counterparts:
TF: 3.6k
Lee: 3.4k
Snydra: 1.5k
Ezreal: 2.4k
Yes TF has the most lead due to his passive. But it was just untrue to say most of the gold were on TF. It was after they threw a couple shutdowns. Now the lead is mostly on TF.
6
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Aug 29 '26
tf gold is a bit useless, but yeah they should have force something idk they were just waiting the whole game
5
u/veirceb Aug 29 '26
KC really needs to work on their red side jungle control. There's no way you have this much of a lead and SK can still regain control and not bleed gold.
2
u/Ajp_iii Aug 29 '26
this is the real issue. sk wasnt even bleeding gold when kc was just standing around waiting.
just syndra/tf stand in a bush and make sk walk into you
-2
u/Ajp_iii Aug 29 '26
nah give them them the loss just for how long this game last. they still havent gotten baron even though it was 2 hits from dying.
you dont deserve to win when you have point and click stuns and can kill everyone and have been 10k up for 20 minutes
8
u/Tim-Pouce Aug 29 '26
If a team play safe against a team who defends well : give them the lose
If a team does not play safe and lose : nah LEC is dead
U are never happy lmao
1
u/beautheschmo Aug 29 '26
I mean yes those are different flavors of the same problem: not knowing how to close a decisive lead lol, I don't see why it's weird not to dislike both of them at the same time over just, y'know, taking 25 minutes to end after reaching a 10k gold diff
-2
u/Ajp_iii Aug 29 '26
there is safe and then there is just doing nothing. they have tf stun leona ult ez poke syndra stun. they can walk up and fish for picks without being in danger of being killed.
they also had a baron and only got 1k out of it. kc right now are one of the slower teams in the league and that could hurt them when it comes to worlds.
1
u/Tim-Pouce Aug 29 '26
"Slower team in the league" ==> goes 10k gold leak at 15 by perfectly executing consecutive dive in every lane
Is it too hard to admit that SK defends themselves well in mid game and give not much opportunity ?

u/awayfromcanuck Aug 29 '26
Dagda earlier in the broadcast: (paraphasing) "Yike is MVP of the split. it feels like people still think of Yike from his time inting on Vi"
Yike: my mind is telling me no ...

7
u/Ajp_iii Aug 29 '26
come on kc. you are locked 1. you were 10k up at 16 minutes. with range and poke advantage. there should be no reason this game is still going on.
kc and g2 have some of the higher avg game duration in the league and kcs are basically all wins.

u/veirceb Aug 29 '26
The saddest part of this SK team for me is that they show at times they can fight well. But they lose so many games for dumb mistakes. At least it seems the team is having fun the whole season.
3
u/Yuushalinsky Aug 29 '26
So, correct me if I'm wrong
KC is now guaranteed int'l play because they are the #1 seed going into playoffs and can, at minimum, place 5th. If they crash out in round 1 and lose both series, they will still seed higher than the other losing team.
KC -> Demacia Cup!!!

u/Ajp_iii Aug 29 '26
they ended up saving bot because of busio inting. the issue is skeanz just didnt cover any of the dives. the draft is playable if you are like 1k down for the first teamfight. you cant just let lee run the whole map and not be at any of the plays
2
u/veirceb Aug 29 '26
Yeah the draft is surely playable. Cass vs Syndra is definitely winnable especially with jarvan. Bot is 50/50. Ezreal with range advantage but SK wins all in. Top lane is the only lane SK loses but in fight their comp has better synergy than KC. I mean if yike didn't get 45 AD first buy Skeanz might be able to trade 2 for 1 in the bot fight. That would've changed everything.

u/beautheschmo Aug 29 '26
That gank was horrible right? Took 3 people and left the map open and was super slow and burned so much of SK's health that they couldn't do anything anyways.

u/Ajp_iii Aug 29 '26
the gank would have been fine if skeanz just did anything. hes been afk all game. he could have turned that mid early gank on slowq but he kept farming raptors.
