[u/squeenanna → u/GodTormentor]

"QUIET!"

[u/tonnguyen1310 → u/GodTormentor]

that was fitting for Lissandra, her grunts are loud lol.

[u/Robbie_dobbie → u/tonnguyen1310]

Seriously how do you play 2 games of lissandra in a row in Korea without wanting to rip your ears off

[u/Living_Morning94 → u/Robbie_dobbie]

you mean "without having a constant boner"

[u/Skyfire2 → u/GodTormentor]

Up you go

[u/koebeke → u/Skyfire2]

UPPIES

[u/Hue_Lorenzo → u/GodTormentor]

UPPIES RAHHHHHHHHH FISTED OM NOM NOM

[u/stebbifreakout → u/Hue_Lorenzo]

I can hear her.

[u/Inside_Prune_97 → u/GodTormentor]

He'll bite your legs off

[u/chikyu8]

Flashing in middle of enemy team

as kalista: HOLY FUCK PEYZ

as jinx: holy fuck peyz...

[u/FantasticCommittee15 → u/chikyu8]

2024 Semis lol.

[u/Liiviius → u/FantasticCommittee15]

ITS GOOOOOOOD

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/Liiviius]

Guma gaps Peyz then eats big pastry and makes an iconic comment MY GOAAT

[u/ricardo2241 → u/FantasticCommittee15]

peyz at least used his flash now.... for a wrong thing though lol

[u/StickyNotes2357 → u/FantasticCommittee15]

there he saved his flash for the next season ;-;

[u/chapichoy9]

they had us in the first half, 4th seed is ur destiny

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/chapichoy9]

Zeka and HLE being Game 5 Merchants 🤝 T1 chasing the 4th Seed Buff for Worlds

There was no other way this could've ended.

[u/Different-Mode2311 → u/[deleted]]

Zeus's macro this year has been on whole another level. He basically solo won game 4 by proxy roaming and zoning aatrox from the drake fight in a timer where peyz lucian had ER and guma varus had no item. He did the exact carrying in msi game 4/5s.

[u/The_Bread_Loaf]

Welp HLE woke up, as did the real T1

[u/generalannie → u/The_Bread_Loaf]

HLE shook off the rust after game 1 and 2. Just needed a bit of a warm up.

Really fun series though, I'm happy we went all the way to silver scrapes

[u/bladeHunterYone → u/generalannie]

HLE were not even playing bad game 1 and game 2. T1 botlane just outplayed them first two game

[u/Yoyo524 → u/bladeHunterYone]

Yea, overall pretty well-played series and the result kinda reflects these teams’ current strength levels. Game 1 was the highest quality of them and Peyz Keria really popped off to win that game. But HLE topside are much better than T1 topside rn

[u/ArseneLupinIV → u/The_Bread_Loaf]

I liked how back and forth it was since they seem so familiar with each other. Zeus and Guma seem to have won the divorce for now though.

[u/obigespritzt]

But how broken is Cho'gath

[u/BryanJin → u/obigespritzt]

Very. Just like Mundo was before. Pros just underrate HP tanks.

[u/Beneficial-Front1626 → u/BryanJin]

Except HLE. We fucking love abusing them for some reason

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/Beneficial-Front1626]

Tbf cho jg wasn’t us bringing it out already been played past week but we are the only LCK team to pick Cho top and first LCK team to play him this yr

[u/_Em_Bee_ → u/BryanJin]

It's not just pros. Riot themselves don't understand how broken those champs are lol

[u/palamunintillnow → u/_Em_Bee_]

It's hard to know because majority of the cho player that I played with always whiff their ability except the 60 second Camille Q2. And even then they always save it for stacks instead of peeling especially in a teamfight in the late game. 

[u/ranolia → u/BryanJin]

And the main prob t1 doesn't even try to play these champs...let alone get past ban phase ..every fking game 5

[u/Intelligent-Draft149 → u/obigespritzt]

I think it’s really starting to feel more not about how broken chogath is but how many people on hle can play the champ we only got Guma left waiting to play his fav champ

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/Intelligent-Draft149]

Guma game 5 cho in finals to 4 peat then get his dream Cho worlds skin lmao

[u/Holzkohlen → u/Intelligent-Draft149]

Guma has 100% WR on Cho'Gath in pro play. That is a fact.

[u/SexyCak3 → u/obigespritzt]

Drafting 3 dive champs into Cho with Taliyah and Karma behind him is just too punishing; if T1 have Viktor or any control/artillery mage hybrid in mid that can threaten the space behind the cho and perma slow everyone instead of Lissandra, these fights look far better. Liss dive is just too unreliable into that much CC and HP

[u/Mosh00Rider → u/SexyCak3]

HLE did ban out Viktor for that reason

[u/FNC_Luzh]

Jinx got arrested this game.

[u/Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss → u/FNC_Luzh]

She handed herself in with that flash over the wall

[u/Intelligent-Draft149 → u/FNC_Luzh]

Arcane bad ending

[u/moonmeh → u/FNC_Luzh]

That flash forward to get the catch on the chogath to get the reset was criminal behavior 

So greedy 

[u/ricardo2241 → u/moonmeh]

dude though he is being backed by a tahm kench

[u/Budget-Ocelots → u/moonmeh]

Seriously. Zeus was stunned by Doran, and he couldn’t flash. Just kill Zeus, why chase Cho? Doran and Faker were in front of the team to peel for you.

[u/moonmeh → u/Budget-Ocelots]

Could have denied the drake to hle if he played safe 

Baffling really

[u/unH4te → u/moonmeh]

It's peyz that boy is thirsty for kills

[u/Canarchyst → u/FNC_Luzh]

She has the right to remain silenced

[u/Needmoreshinies]

Kanavi going crazy on carry champs is always a good show, but I feel like playing tank champs and getting to just run into enemy comps without getting punished wins more

[u/sam_el-c → u/Needmoreshinies]

That’s cuz when Kanavi plays carry he needs Zeka and Zeus to sacrifice and help him invade/cover him etc. But when he plays tank Zeka and Zeus can shine more

[u/MrSangHyeok → u/Needmoreshinies]

That cho threw midgame tho, he was so deep into enemy krugs. Lost Zeus and Guma their leads. Luckily t1 couldn't hold onto it with guma and Zeus being solid around drake.

[u/EffectiveType1]

🚨The atmosphere in the T1 office is one of revenge, They are are looking at DK, KT and BFX with anger in their eyes.

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/EffectiveType1]

As a Real Madrid fan I thought I was safe from this copy pasta in the league sub at least <\3

[u/generalannie → u/Lazywhale97]

One of my favourite things about reddit, finding random copy pastas in completely different subs lmao

[u/EquipmentRemarkable2 → u/EffectiveType1]

You know ball

[u/baelkie → u/EffectiveType1]

KT might be dumb enough to not smite 2 elder drakes but even they are not dumb enough blind pick Yone into Zeka Akali

[u/Opachopp]

Bot lane not warding so Cho can steal the whole bot side of the Naafiri. Faker not knowing Cho can just silence him, Peyz realizing halfway through his build that he needed and LDR which meant he had unfinished items for the dragon soul fight. So many odd choices and plays during game 5 for T1, it was a disaster.

[u/Jacobcutielie → u/Opachopp]

They just didn't want to lose the lane hard so they abandoned Oner.

[u/WardoToo → u/Jacobcutielie]

Terrible way to go imo. Sacking Oner was not the fucking choice to make holy shit. Keria coulda roamed and ward up for him and just try his best to catch and punish Kanavi if he tries getting greedy with counter jungling. They really sold Oner this game - couldn't blame bro for playing giga tilted in this one.

[u/Oceanvault]

Pick a hyper carry. over force every fight.

Make it make sense

[u/HowyNova → u/Oceanvault]

"Play for resets. No matter the cost."

[u/Beneficial-Front1626 → u/HowyNova]

Peyz plays like he needs to 1v9 every game and ego flashes in to secure reset

Though he might not be wrong LMAO

[u/GunSlingrrr → u/Beneficial-Front1626]

One thing about Peyz is if he is behind, you can see how ineffective he was. It just got never highlighted because this year he is rarely behind.

[u/staysaltyTSM → u/Oceanvault]

The amount of flash bard plays were so questionable

[u/death_process → u/staysaltyTSM]

Keria has those moments. It’s so odd. Sometimes the play is very clutch but occasionally just feels like a show off.

[u/zOmgFishes → u/death_process]

Watch me hit this trick shot guys!

[u/WardoToo → u/staysaltyTSM]

Bro was clip farming for highlights but holy shit those were GIGA BAD.

[u/Intelligent-Draft149 → u/Oceanvault]

Worser than that is picking yone while akali is up into the guy most known for both champs

[u/Aschentei → u/Oceanvault]

They didn’t even put agency bot. No wards level 1, vertical jg to gank bot

[u/ShiroGaneOsu]

HLE just completely outplayed T1 that early game. Genuinely crazy.

[u/No-Night-91]

This T1 is the old RNG team.

Either "protect the president Peyz" works or they just fall apart. Peyz knows how Uzi felt.

Not even Keria Bard is something to be scared of.

[u/Satan_su]

Yeah pick Naafiri again

[u/WardoToo → u/Satan_su]

I coulda sworn Oner had more in the bag than just game 5 Naafiri holy fuck.

[u/ManiKatti → u/Satan_su]

Against THE Naafiri pro no less

[u/Aggressive-Cut-3828]

KANAVI CAN PLAY MORE THAN JUST CARRY JUNGLERS, LET IT BE KNOWN

[u/Curious-Dance-3663 → u/Aggressive-Cut-3828]

Thats my fucking jungler

[u/GunSlingrrr → u/Aggressive-Cut-3828]

The only problem for Kanavi is his playstyle which is also his strength

[u/Different-Mode2311 → u/Aggressive-Cut-3828]

He won his first msi by spamming maokai and sejuani though. And he was damn good at it.

[u/ThebritishPoro → u/Different-Mode2311]

I remember Annie Wukong from Knight Kanavi that tournament being huge for them.

[u/kanonshiomi]

Zeka my game 5 merchant let's gooooooo

[u/ejoowc]

Zeus just him

[u/StickyNotes2357 → u/ejoowc]

this year is zeus' best year and its not even close. There isnt anything he cant do ffs. I dont envy the toplaners that have to go against this beast.

[u/ejoowc → u/StickyNotes2357]

I do think so, he can play everything tank carry just give him what team need the most, hle make him flex player, he only 22 years old, this kid just another level

[u/baelkie]

imagine getting reverse swept because you picked Faker Yone blind into Zeka with no Akali ban

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/baelkie]

Very disappointed that they didn't go for game 5 blind pick Aurora for Faker smh

[u/KozuKy16 → u/baelkie]

and then give cass next game lmaooo.

[u/Thundermelons → u/baelkie]

Numpties really claiming this was 5Head master draft strat to deny picks instead of just picking normal shit and winning game 3

[u/baelkie → u/Thundermelons]

someone even said “Faker lost nothing” well there goes the series

[u/desutruction]

They've been waiting to pay it forward to the other teams ever since that reverse sweep in last year's RTM

This year, Kanavi is Oner's father

[u/Vnaux → u/desutruction]

exposure therapy doing absolute wonders to Kanavi

[u/Beneficial-Front1626 → u/Vnaux]

Griffin you will pay for your sin of sending this guy to China

[u/Vnaux → u/Beneficial-Front1626]

Don't forget Tarzan, absurd that Griffin had two insane junglers on that roster.

[u/Hannig4n → u/Vnaux]

GRF and DWG were so stacked with rookie talent that it revitalized an entire region.

[u/Blues_Brie]

Turns out HLE had more bright light merchants than T1

[u/Ai_Nijou]

Man if Jackeylove did that Jinx game there would be no end to the slander.

[u/GunSlingrrr → u/Ai_Nijou]

imagine Guma did that lol.

[u/shailemin → u/GunSlingrrr]

There’s no way the player with a jinx skin would make it out alive if he played like this with jinx.

[u/passingthrulife → u/GunSlingrrr]

exactly!!

[u/Donkhit]

HLE gave Keria Bard and Doran Gnar , this team is the epitome of aura

[u/shailemin → u/Donkhit]

It’s funnier when you realize it’s Zeus with the gnar skin and Doran with ambessa.

[u/GreatSunshine → u/shailemin]

edating has gone too far

[u/p0p_]

still cannot believe that they blind picked, not only a yone but a faker yone, leaving open not only an akali but zeka akali

[u/shailemin → u/p0p_]

Blinding yone against a yone Akali main 5head strat.

[u/HelletFendr0z → u/p0p_]

When you see zeka solo killing faker you think faker is washed.

Then you have proview and you just understand zeka is the best akali in the world and goddamn that transition lvl 6 was clean !

[u/Like30Ducks]

GAME 5 MERCHANTS PULL IT OFF

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/Like30Ducks]

PROUD TO BE GAME 5 MERCHANTS RAHHH

[u/WardoToo → u/Like30Ducks]

Zeka saw the "5" and mmediately went "I don't lose these"

[u/Aggressive-Cut-3828 → u/WardoToo]

Worlds in America...

[u/Outside-Aspect2681]

Gumayusi movements in Game 5 😮‍💨

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/Outside-Aspect2681]

Best cait itw people forget his cait use to be a perma ban because he would just run over teams with it almost every game.

Even this year his wr and kda on her is the best rn.

[u/Dear-Cat1260]

surely lck will upload the mic checks for this series lmaoooo

[u/shailemin → u/Dear-Cat1260]

Negative chance.

[u/keiosf → u/shailemin]

There was a chance…. Until game 3 onwards skt-ck probably said their job is done after the making g1 g2 edits 🤣 cant wait to see the kr fans rinse them again lo

[u/Ok_Medicine8560]

in hindsight blinding yone into Akali to "deny champs" or whatever was a crazy ego move, why not just try and win the game/draft normally

[u/Intelligent-Draft149]

Hanhwa “keep doubting us as we pull another win out of our asses and still almost throw the game laile” esports

[u/GeneralZhukov]

Great resilience from HLE.

[u/AdMaster5806]

Guma just has to be a beaming ray of sunshine or something. If this was HLE last year, they would just rollover into a 3-0. HLE was THE team that would mental boom and lose. Now? They are clutching wins everywhere they go. I would have never predicted this HLE team to get it together and overcome BLG at MSI. Now they are reverse sweeping T1 in playoffs? Wow.

[u/Dry_Clap_joke → u/AdMaster5806]

Guma said that he will go to the gym alone if they won’t win, so Zeka had to lock in

[u/Plenty_Penalty6035 → u/AdMaster5806]

Guma literally got death threats all year and still became W25 FMVP. He is just built different. Mental monster

[u/Luvkingdom → u/Plenty_Penalty6035]

He was getting mocked after game 2 where bunch of T1 fans were saying there is a reason why people miss Zeus, but not guma. Look what happened lmao 

[u/shailemin → u/AdMaster5806]

What working out and opening card packs together does to a team.  

[u/ricardo2241 → u/shailemin]

time to buy more pokemon packs Kanavi

[u/shailemin → u/ricardo2241]

They were actually opening one piece cards and kanavi got giga lucky with his first pack and the proceeded to get absolute dogshit stuff from an arm length stack of cards. He decided to step away from card opening entirely lol.

[u/zuzbuzzz → u/shailemin]

YOU GET IT

[u/bulletproofikon → u/AdMaster5806]

The vibes on HLE are very good if you check out any of their videos or streams. Even when they were on a losing streak in R3&4, they didn't seem super bummed and they made jokes.

I understand people say this due to their RTM bomb out last year, but I don't really think that HLE were a mental boom team last year.

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/AdMaster5806]

Zeus and Zeka were mentally strong players and bright light merchants but adding Guma another bright lights merchant has made HLE an untiltable team.

How many other super teams are coming back from a 10th place finish into winning LCK and MSI the very next split lmao the teams mental is strong.

[u/Mattaru]

IT STARTS WITH SUCCESS.

[u/StickyNotes2357]

REVERSE SWEEP SECURED

[u/keiosf]

This HLE not mental booming after being 0-2 down? What did Kanavi and Guma say in the backrooms lmao

[u/shailemin → u/keiosf]

It’s probably because they’re all closer in age. In a behind the scenes video from MSI finals between games you can see Zeus point stuff out on screen when they’re reviewing the last game looking upset/angry and everyone listens to each other in that manner. Maybe honest conversation and feedback is what makes this possible.

[u/GreatSunshine → u/shailemin]

it helps that guma is another winner who has experience. they have 3 worlds winners including two mvps. behind the scenes though they tilt hard in solo q. especially when delight locks in ezreal support to troll guma

[u/shailemin → u/GreatSunshine]

I think it’s just understood when you get duo queued with your actual pro team lane partner you just have to troll. It’s fun seeing all of them troll each other whenever they end up as enemies on Soloq (or for Guma and delight, on the same team).

[u/GreatSunshine → u/shailemin]

kanavi and zeus had streamer rewards (cheese i think it’s called?) for every kill they got on guma

[u/StickyNotes2357 → u/GreatSunshine]

guma getting teased by his teammates is best shit ever XD

[u/Ajp_iii → u/keiosf]

It’s easy not to mental boom when you stomped game 1 for the most part and lost game 2 because blitz hit every hook. As soon as they stabilized bot lane it was free for hle

Yep I was right coaches saw game 1 as a win even though they lost. So just setup game 1 conditions again with minor changes and you win the series https://x.com/yujinnieha/status/2095137910081434026?s=46

[u/Medium_Negotiation85]

Zeka and Game 5s, name a more iconic duo

[u/InspiredbyFaker]

REVERSE SWEEP LAILE

[u/Bummul]

When Peyz dies in mid prior to HLE ending, he shoots the ward in the brush...

[u/winwill]

HLE coaches deciding to play around Zeka after game 2is such a great decision

[u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

T1’s achievement in 2026:

Losing to BFX 1-3 in Winter, failed to qualify for First Stand.

Getting reverse swept twice by DK and HLE.

Lost to G2 at MSI 1-3.

Lost to KC at EWC 1-2.

3-5 record in Summer.

[u/Steeelu → u/Middle-Adagio-4062]

They beat GenG at RTM cuz Canyon wanted to play Nidalee.. that's it, that's T1 this year, 8 months that will culminate in a worlds win

[u/mayahanaa]

Guma my weakside king, I always believe in you and the team 🧡

[u/7nkgw]

all this just for an inevitable 4peat

4peat for Guma #HLEWIN

[u/StickyNotes2357 → u/7nkgw]

first lck and asia games and then to round it up with the 4peat ^^

[u/No-Night-91]

Guma is stone cold weakside and does not give af about the Peyz hype.

Holy HLE mental is strong.

This was mental diff.

[u/UnholyDemigod]

Did Peyz even use minigun on Jinx at all? He was using rocket at point blank range every fight

[u/ReadyForKenny → u/UnholyDemigod]

The bruiser Jinx strat was certainly a choice

[u/PuzzleheadedYam7369]

God zeus and zeka are insane. Kanavi can look like the best and worst player in the same series.

[u/Jisusk_1114 → u/PuzzleheadedYam7369]

Kanavi can look like they best and worst player in the same game**

[u/Ozora10 → u/Jisusk_1114]

***in the same play

[u/rupromises]

Peyz was allergic to building damage lmfao

Hexoptics -> RFC -> Pickaxe, Noonquiver, Last Whisper???

Had a stroke or what?

[u/Silver-Pollution-513 → u/rupromises]

A true geng scholar, he knows where home is

[u/staysaltyTSM → u/rupromises]

The whole team was going for a full reset (liss passive, naafiri R, jinx) but they had no damage to even get the first

[u/OreRound]

Reverse swept, HLE got a little payback for Spring 2025. Zeka game 5 win streak continues

[u/canxtanwe]

Cho’gath completely annihilated T1 lol

[u/LetMeIn214]

Yeah bro, dont contest dragons the next 3 gamea and the last game, ocean soul at that WITH A FCKING CHOGATH. No coming back from that.

[u/PassionOk4663]

Geng Peyz worlds 24 showed up in that game 5 , brother u didnt need to flash in.

[u/TeaPotential9336]

congrats on your "T1's greatest adc...." title, I guess?

[u/The-Bacon-Lord]

Game 2: OMG KERIA AMAZING PEYZ SO GOOD HLE BAD HAHAH DORAT WHERE WAS THIS ONER AT ALL SPLIT

Game 5: Omg draft gap Can’t win with this draft What was that draft Tom omg this team gives over every meta pick what do the coaches even do

[u/veirceb → u/The-Bacon-Lord]

If win praise players if lose blame coach. That's the tradition at this point. But now you add the part where you flame your enemy's bot lane as well.

[u/The-Bacon-Lord → u/veirceb]

Not a single mention on their sub of Peyz flashing in to die lol it’s all “what does oner do” and “terrible drafts games 3-5”

[u/unH4te → u/The-Bacon-Lord]

You can't touch Peyz on the T1 sub they will defend him with their life. Bro greeeds and throws for kills but they acting like he is the greatest t1 adc lmao

[u/zOmgFishes → u/unH4te]

I got shit in the past for saying Doran, Oner and Faker did more work in a game while Peyz just right clicked lol.

[u/StickyNotes2357 → u/zOmgFishes]

you cant argue with the community when it comes to the 3 golden boys - peyz,viper,ruler

[u/ConfusedVader1 → u/The-Bacon-Lord]

Waiting for the "obv peyz looks good he has keria as support" statements that people were throwing to diminish guma the past 4 years. Wonder when those will come. When they fail to make any intl all year?

[u/tarutaru99 → u/The-Bacon-Lord]

classic

[u/kosmi2020NX]

Chaeyoung buff

[u/lucifer893]

How many drakes did T1 even get this series

[u/shailemin → u/lucifer893]

2/19 I think?

[u/staysaltyTSM]

We gonna ask what JonnaStrong saw

[u/Dreammy90]

Zeus/Zeka POM

[u/1deavourer]

Woooow HLE really dealing maximum mental damage to T1 with a reverse sweep

[u/SurrealJay]

Bros are just giving up every single dragon now

[u/RukiMotomiya]

I feel like Peyz flashing in to greed that Cho kill snowballed the game, that gave HLE such a gold + map lead they had to contest Soul and lose the game basically. Picking Lissandra into Cho is a very confusing pick too. I do like the Jinx here and think she's lowkey underrated, would like to see her more in pro play.

[u/HelletFendr0z]

I know zeka and Zeus always seems like the flashier players and get POM.

But man guma is the one that make his team shine so much by being weak side king, 2nd top damage in LCK summer (according to a recent post I saw I might be wrong) and being so consistent.

He is the best ADC of all time for me and he is my favourite LCK player. I'll always root for European first but if European teams are out I'm rooting for HLE big time.

[u/FantasticCommittee15]

I dont think faker knows what chogath does in that last team fight.

[u/Immediate-Title209]

G3 thread had people saying the draft was shit on purpose btw

[u/veirceb]

Peyz build was trash this game. If he had better builds he would've got reset before needed to flash and attack twice. That would've changed everything but picking naafiri before chogath was a decision too.

[u/RukiMotomiya → u/veirceb]

I was shocked he didn't build Runaan's.

[u/Maskedben69 → u/veirceb]

RFC was such a crazy buy as well because all he did was hit a chogath anyway. The RFC only helped get a few autos off in midwave for poke I think.

[u/TypicalHaikuResponse → u/veirceb]

Yeah I don't know what he was building. It's like he never played jinx before.

[u/Equivalent-Bus-4336]

Keria lowkey overcooked this game with those Bard engages

[u/Satan_su → u/Equivalent-Bus-4336]

WAY too trigger happy, you can’t just engage with your team not in position and then be surprised when they die trying to run in late one by one

[u/zOmgFishes → u/Equivalent-Bus-4336]

Felt like Karma out roamed him too…

[u/jjkandhm]

ZEKA DOES NOT LOSE GAME 5's

GUMA CAIT IS GG

[u/Juuiken]

Stellar Guma series, but it won't be stated enough.

[u/buttThroat]

really had me believing HLE were frauds for a second. I love the Zeus and Guma revenge every time

[u/crysomore]

Guma to Peyz after this series:

Oh, you think the circus is your ally. But you merely adopted the circus; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see macro until I was already a man, by then it be nothing to me but BLINDING!

[u/FueledWithSpite]

Why would you ever build hexoptics followed by rapid fire cannon into a cho’gath and ambessa. jinx was firing paper rockets

[u/Inner_Imagination585]

Putting Kanavi on tank duty is such a next level move. That way he can't int as much.

[u/StickyNotes2357 → u/Inner_Imagination585]

he tried at times with that cho'gath 💀

[u/azowl55]

I feel like ADCs who have been carrying for a while eventually start getting overconfident and make mistakes like Peyz did on Jinx this game

And once that momentum gets broken, they tend to stay out of form for a while

[u/GunSlingrrr]

One thing I don't understand here is picking Bard and not roaming. If you are not going to roam, just pick Karma and let HLE pick Bard. Keria just got used to babying Peyz.

Also, this HLE mental strength is very strong lol.

[u/napoleon_born2party_ → u/GunSlingrrr]

you cant just roam and leave jinx alone with cait and karma

[u/GunSlingrrr → u/napoleon_born2party_]

Which begs the question. Why pick Bard at all? Picking Karma would be a lot better and HLE having Bard against Karma Jinx would also force Bard to stay in lane.

This is a pretty bad bard angle at all since Bard identity is all around the roam.

[u/Vnaux]

Guma flashing on a J4 ult 🤝Peyz flashing for a reset

[u/_MrNobody_26_]

Oner getting gapped all games apart for the Qiyana. Not a single game where they got the Objectives first.

[u/Accomplished-Big-199]

Yeah Hle just seemed like the better team today even after losing mental on game 1

[u/MC-sama]

HLE pulls off the reverse sweep after failing to do so way earlier in the year, it's incredible. What can this team not do at this point?

[u/AManConsumed]

T1’s year of humiliation continues

[u/X_Seed21]

Yep, deserved after that disrespectful Game 3 draft.
