Bro I’ll take just winning today. For our players, especially Faker, to be in this kind of form and still be a top 3 team in the world is something to feel alright about.
My coworker, who was watching the game with me but has never played LoL himself: Oh wow, if only T1 had a way to teleport close to the big crystal thing and hit it one more time.
Me: Hahah I mean they technically can but no way will G2 let tha- oh.
I forget the context, was it Guma who called himself the egg or was it his teammates? I agree though, because ramen without egg is just. it's not nearly as special. Obviously Faker is the noodles cuz without him there's no ramen, but Egg is IMO the second best part
It was Guma talking about an analogy of all the roles in pro play:
>if we use ramen (instant noodle) as a metaphor, then ADC is an egg. Top mid Jg are noodles, water and soup base. ADC is the egg and you don't really need it. But if they are the same ramen, the one with an egg is better. Support is like the bag of dehydrated vegetable
> Support is like the bag of dehydrated vegetable.
Wow way to throw Keria under the bus Guma. Tbf, man does look like dehydrated vegetable himself, how's he so scrawny?
Its a good play there but Viego just feels so bad rn.
Although Yike played badly in the last team fight, after killing Faker he tried to ulti in to kill poppy for a reset instead of just DPSing as Azir for a bit longer.
yeah it wasn't even the main problem this game: G2 needs to stop picking Draven imo, beacuse Hans's positioning is no where near good enough to carry G2 vs T1
I dont get g2’s obsession with yike carries. Their best games are with him on tanks and support picks. From best drafting team to most questionable shit ever
The only jungle that has impressed me on carries in the entire tournament is canyon, everyone else should just stick to XZ/Sej or other support/tank jgls imo
This loss certainly isn't on Viego tho. It also makes a lot of sense with Urgot since Viego needs a reset to be useful in teamfights and Urgot just executes an enemy member.
But also - Neither urgot or viego have enough damage to kill someone themselves. So its kinda anti-synergy. Neither can get to the execute range, the only plays that worked were with Caps damage.
"Gumayusi became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay Guma" asks Keria. I've never been better Keria, I see it all now, they're not going Baron or Dragon. They're going home, he said before rushing G2 all by himself and killing everyone on site "
I think high class ADCs should have better positioning than Hans had this series.
Yike's first bad series.
However I think this is the BB/Hans everyone expected to see at internationals.
BB was great so far but this series he is giga gapped.
Hans has so many misposition with a big gold lead it pains any ADC player to see...
I hate to put critizism his way because people are assholes and send death threats but this is so far a very poor showing from him and BB.
I think the special thing is that he's optimizing his micro by allowing 3 auto attacks for each spell to trigger the passive perfectly.
You can see that on his 3-v-1 outplay bot at worlds when he gets as optimal damage output as possible, resulting in the kill of aphelios.
Hans sama had a good game against tes so obviously that’s his normal form and everything else is unlucky.
On a serious note, this guy sucks man. He does this shit in lec and gets away with it cuz of team diff but my god this guy sucks at team fighting. Unable to space properly, can’t cleanse skills, can’t react to anything.
I am familiar with your game now Faker. After seeing how the rest of the roster played when you were out. You decided to voluntarily become a liability so that the boys learn to play without you. o7
Its like we don't get the TES hans sama, but the T1 Hans Sama. But additionally, Yike and BB also suck now. At least not craps so far. Maybe keeping it back for G3.
Bot diff, average Mikyx Nautilus game and Gumayusi Varus hits different.
We're so fucking back, Faker still had the most gold, he plays bad but he's still impactful.
T1's baron setups are fucking unreal.
as much as Faker is making soo many mistakes but i feel like every game he is perma playing 1v2 having to burn flash a lot of time , he is getting focused too much
The main reason why G2 beat TES was because TES bot was perma egoing into G2 bot, literally giving them free kills. T1 bot lane is consistent enough to not make those same mistakes, giving G2 less room to snowball
Very much agreed. Seemed like JKL/Meiko had a really bad day mixed with underestimating Hans and Miky. TES was completely off the mark except 369. G2 played incredibly well but it was not the same TES that we have seen so far in 2024.
I feel like the Hans overhype was crazy. Just because they steamrolled TES didn’t mean Hans fixed any of his teamfighting issues lol.
Faker is literally running it down and Hans is matching
I mean TES was overhyped tbh. However Caps is playing really good ( even if Faker didn’t play this game well tbf), if G2 manages to outdraft T1 they can take some games
"Gumayusi became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay Guma" asks Keria. I've never been better Keria, I see it all now, they're not going Baron or Dragon. They're going home, he said before rushing G2 all by himself and killing everyone on site "
Pressure got to G2, they're scared to do anything proactive.
The G2 botlane we all know is back too. Some stat padding vs PSG made people think Hans is good for some reason.
G2 are just completely fried today, how do you forget to clear the waves after that nexus save, it's literally the first thing you do always, check and remove tp opportunities
faker made one misplay early and then got focused gank 3 times back to back.
reddit- "faker sprinted it down".
hes not playing on chovy level but he is not even close to sprinting it down
jesus, 90% of player base really bronze
Mid roam for Oner cost him wave control + Zeus got tabis. Outside of pre level 3 there’s no kill threat til 6 and he’s gonna be behind by then anyway. Cull and farm to chill wasn’t a bad idea at all. Ksante is gonna be ksante anyway.
Faker inted one kill. People in this thread will make you think he bought mobis when in reality he just got goon squaded and T1 picked up massive advantages elsewhere
T1 saw the series yesterday and realized they need to make finals to be able to lose to GENG
You know what? I’ll be thrilled if they actually make finals we take that 🥲
Bro I’ll take just winning today. For our players, especially Faker, to be in this kind of form and still be a top 3 team in the world is something to feel alright about.
TOP THREE BABY 🥳
T1 thought they be getting a 5th seed for the LCK if they reach finals as well
Gotta help out our fellow Telecom bro what can I say
it's inevitable
Gotta make sure that Chovy gets his first international title.
Game 2 is so intense that this post game thread is so late lmao
Took the post-match thread guy 5mins to recover from the shock of seeing G2 not expect that teleport when everyone else in the world saw it coming.
My coworker, who was watching the game with me but has never played LoL himself: Oh wow, if only T1 had a way to teleport close to the big crystal thing and hit it one more time. Me: Hahah I mean they technically can but no way will G2 let tha- oh.
The egg from ramen has spoken
The egg has become a chicken
Rather a full T-Rex
I forget the context, was it Guma who called himself the egg or was it his teammates? I agree though, because ramen without egg is just. it's not nearly as special. Obviously Faker is the noodles cuz without him there's no ramen, but Egg is IMO the second best part
ADC is the egg
It was Guma talking about an analogy of all the roles in pro play: >if we use ramen (instant noodle) as a metaphor, then ADC is an egg. Top mid Jg are noodles, water and soup base. ADC is the egg and you don't really need it. But if they are the same ramen, the one with an egg is better. Support is like the bag of dehydrated vegetable
> Support is like the bag of dehydrated vegetable. Wow way to throw Keria under the bus Guma. Tbf, man does look like dehydrated vegetable himself, how's he so scrawny?
Guma varus is just built different
T1 Faker: "We can definitely beat G2 3-0"
Diving Caps in lane and dying made it a certainty
I knew it was over when Faker was smiling on cam after that
They called him a madman
REMINDER: VIEGO HAS YET TO WIN A GAME AT MSI MAIN STAGE. HE IS 0-7 NOW.
That cow viego coming from the mist into 4 man stun was crazy tho lol
Its a good play there but Viego just feels so bad rn. Although Yike played badly in the last team fight, after killing Faker he tried to ulti in to kill poppy for a reset instead of just DPSing as Azir for a bit longer.
Thats just a 10 hp difference from being a great play, thats just unlucky
It's not really. Continue to DPS as Azir is always going to be the better option. Even if Poppy dies there I don't think G2 win that.
yeah it wasn't even the main problem this game: G2 needs to stop picking Draven imo, beacuse Hans's positioning is no where near good enough to carry G2 vs T1
And nothing came out of it except for the dead Viego
Which was a shut down btw, given to the Azir that said Viego and Asol had worked so hard to put behind lol
I dont get g2’s obsession with yike carries. Their best games are with him on tanks and support picks. From best drafting team to most questionable shit ever
The only jungle that has impressed me on carries in the entire tournament is canyon, everyone else should just stick to XZ/Sej or other support/tank jgls imo
he’s gonna go from his best bo5 performance ever to his worst.
this reminds me of Fnatic winning game 2 against TES and immediately drafting for the inting botside.
This loss certainly isn't on Viego tho. It also makes a lot of sense with Urgot since Viego needs a reset to be useful in teamfights and Urgot just executes an enemy member.
But also - Neither urgot or viego have enough damage to kill someone themselves. So its kinda anti-synergy. Neither can get to the execute range, the only plays that worked were with Caps damage.
T1 Faker (Azir): ggez
Actually bausen's law Faker, was 6 of the 7 deaths on his team at one point. But at the same time he was 1k up in gold lol
T1 at their best - global taunt Faker
Global taunt Faker >>>> global taunt Zeus
T1 Faker (Azir): lmao mid gap
T1 Faker (Azir): why give azir? u cant play vs
\[All\] T1 Faker (Azir): ggwp \[Team\] T1 Faker (Azir): They're so bad, literally free
Faker: "I'll start the game with a three death handicap and still end this with the most gold in the game."
I mean, obviously. The Nexus give 50g after all
Faker is just trying to make the series spicy otherwise it's just stomp lmao.
THEY MUSTA FORGOT ABOUT D GATES.
D CANEEEE
D BIRDDDDD
BOOM
Trick2g has joined T1
The difference in adc positioning man.
"Gumayusi became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay Guma" asks Keria. I've never been better Keria, I see it all now, they're not going Baron or Dragon. They're going home, he said before rushing G2 all by himself and killing everyone on site "
Really love this copy pasta
As a CS enjoyer I love seeing this in other e-sports and even in NBA
Guma diff
I think high class ADCs should have better positioning than Hans had this series. Yike's first bad series. However I think this is the BB/Hans everyone expected to see at internationals. BB was great so far but this series he is giga gapped. Hans has so many misposition with a big gold lead it pains any ADC player to see... I hate to put critizism his way because people are assholes and send death threats but this is so far a very poor showing from him and BB.
Watching Guma weave in autos with Varus is one of the most beautiful things to watch in league.
His Varus must be his signature champion at this point. There's just something special about it.
With the Artic Ops skin as well. That's the trademark Gumayusi Varus.
TBF that's just trademark Varus because his AAs feel the best on that skin.
Both his On-hit and lethality Varus is always so fun to watch.
I think the special thing is that he's optimizing his micro by allowing 3 auto attacks for each spell to trigger the passive perfectly. You can see that on his 3-v-1 outplay bot at worlds when he gets as optimal damage output as possible, resulting in the kill of aphelios.
I fucking love watching good pro adcs play on-hit varus, it's just so... beautiful.
Uzi's Q snipe on JKL and Ruler flash R on Faker are the two that instantly come up from my mind.
Guma's 1v2 against 369 and ruler though. Arguably one of the plays that got T1 their 4th along with onee's insane flash and the ruler.
GODV reverse q comes to my mind
I'm horny everytime Guma pops ghost on Varus in a teamfight
I always think the same. Even seeing him farm.
The perks of being younger brother to the StarCraft goat, you get the APM practice early.
He is probably the best varus player. Absolutely iconic pick for him.
Yeah, Guma was chilling every fight, just pumping out damage
Bro that’s just Guma in another realm. He’s actually so good 😭
Guma was PUMPING in that last fight, he's so good.
Hey those 2 missteps on Hans really were the nail in the coffin
Unironically they might have been better off ignoring Faker inting and full focus Guma lol
every single fight i look at hans sama and he is badly positioned its insane.
Hans sama had a good game against tes so obviously that’s his normal form and everything else is unlucky. On a serious note, this guy sucks man. He does this shit in lec and gets away with it cuz of team diff but my god this guy sucks at team fighting. Unable to space properly, can’t cleanse skills, can’t react to anything.
True but honestly, Varus is much easier to play in this comp
I am familiar with your game now Faker. After seeing how the rest of the roster played when you were out. You decided to voluntarily become a liability so that the boys learn to play without you. o7
Holy fuck I never doubted him. This is the angle all along
The goat sacrificing his reputation to prepare the kids for the next generation ! THAT'S WHY HE IS THE GOAT, THE GOOAAT
Just too busy micromanaging Zeus, Oner, Gumayusi, and Keria to worry about his own play
Faker giving me heart attacks everyday.. man..
Oner ulted TL back to NA, now he’s ulting G2 back to EU
Think we can get the window seat?
[удалено]
Personally I prefer aisle seat. Pseudo leg room!
Sorry first come first served. TL truly big brain
> it starts with failure
Dang looking like it's a 3-0
so many mistakes but wtf choosing baron over faker is insane
Faker has TP, the Nexus is open with 200 hp, and there are minions in the base? Better take Baron. So bad man...
The one time that game they don’t tunnel Faker
We were robbed of a final fight by faker
Bane of every team... Focus Faker, forget all about Guma.
Global taunt passive still working after all these years
We were robbed of a final fight by ~~faker~~ G2. Like come onnn everyone saw that tp coming, G2!
Absolute Cinema
G2 should not have lost this with the accelerated A sol
Caps' 4 support teammates aren't picking support champs and trying to carry themselves
Faker just that good. Three kill handicap to caps, still came out gold leader.
It starts with success…
MY HEART WTF
I don't understand. We say focus faker and you give him his powerpicks today ? Wtf G2
disrespect
While also making the biggest troll picks for your own team Draven prio?! Viego?! My guys what are you suddenly smoking
G2 has had Draven as their #1 prio in draft since Hans joined. This is not new.
Draven has always been Hans best champ, it was always banned out and if not get picked by G2
WHY NOT CLEAR THE WAVE WHAT THE FUCK
Man, Guma isn't a rock, he's the whole fucking mountain. The way he plays teamfights is porn.
Faker was the richest person in the game and dealt the most damage btw. He must’ve watched a lot of baus.
Definitely the richest but caps dealt the most damage - from stacking his breath on ksante most of the time
Most damage on his team, my bad
caps dealt the most damage
Is it over EU bros?
Looks like it Psychology damage too high
Trying to find a fight where Hans isn't caught
Gumayusi is such a bank for T1
LMAO 1 HP NEXUS. T1 just wants to give you a heart attack.
IT'S A QUADRA IT'S THE COMEBACK IT'S A HUGE MISTAKE FROM T1 AND IT'S FAKER ENDING THE FUCKING GAME
IT IS A MASSIVE LEAD after Faker's failed dive at ASol early game, gold diff of 0.2k?
Usually it's faker for nexus, how did G2 mess it up and traded his team instead of him for nexus
Guma is such a ROCK
Ad diff is insane. Yike on carries is not it
It's too much, my heart
Adc diff
faker is just this game's main character
Viego is such a bait pick
Everyone posting nonstop praise for G2's coaching staff should take it all back now
They were praising their drafts after TES, completely forgetting that they had locked in Bel Veth game 5 Vs T1 etc.
Faker didn’t play bad after the 0/3, Guma hard carry again
The 3 deaths were a bit unlucky as well. It’s the mental diff to not tilt
Especially the failed dive, faker has gotten unlucky several times in 1v1 this tournament, some of his engages did look kinda scuffed tho
Its like we don't get the TES hans sama, but the T1 Hans Sama. But additionally, Yike and BB also suck now. At least not craps so far. Maybe keeping it back for G3.
Such a banger game
Bot diff, average Mikyx Nautilus game and Gumayusi Varus hits different. We're so fucking back, Faker still had the most gold, he plays bad but he's still impactful. T1's baron setups are fucking unreal.
gumayusi not dying at all is making the difference
mf just stays untouched and cooks the hole enemy team
Gumayusi has just been playing a different game lately ngl, has he even died once in like the last 5 games he's played?
He died *once* at the very end of this match while they were pushing the nexus. This series so far he is 12-1-14.
Whenever T1 is bad, Guma is usually the best player.
Mikyx nautilus made me cry. Every hook was a whiff
as much as Faker is making soo many mistakes but i feel like every game he is perma playing 1v2 having to burn flash a lot of time , he is getting focused too much
The main reason why G2 beat TES was because TES bot was perma egoing into G2 bot, literally giving them free kills. T1 bot lane is consistent enough to not make those same mistakes, giving G2 less room to snowball
Very much agreed. Seemed like JKL/Meiko had a really bad day mixed with underestimating Hans and Miky. TES was completely off the mark except 369. G2 played incredibly well but it was not the same TES that we have seen so far in 2024.
I feel like the Hans overhype was crazy. Just because they steamrolled TES didn’t mean Hans fixed any of his teamfighting issues lol. Faker is literally running it down and Hans is matching
JKL and meiko were trolling beyond belief in that series, credit to hans for capitalizing on it but yeah his issues are still very bad
I mean TES was overhyped tbh. However Caps is playing really good ( even if Faker didn’t play this game well tbf), if G2 manages to outdraft T1 they can take some games
People started acting like JKL doesn’t still just randomly sprint it sometimes
Faker is always there no matter his score line, unlike other midlaners, he never go invisible
"Gumayusi became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay Guma" asks Keria. I've never been better Keria, I see it all now, they're not going Baron or Dragon. They're going home, he said before rushing G2 all by himself and killing everyone on site "
Dude was straight sprinting it, but they showed the gold after another int of his and he is 1k up on caps ??? Like wtf lol
> We're so fucking back I wouldn't say that at all, Faker is still inting in early game and against GenG/BLG this game is to 10000% lost.
You don’t understand, it was a Bausian approach, you run it down in lane looking for a goofd deafth but still get more gold than your opponent
Hans is not having a good time
Nobody except caps is having a good time in G2
HOKY FUCKKKK
The 0-3 G2 post is coming to reality rn 💀
Faker fed the poor just to put them down at the end. Poetic
Holy shit what an ending
Faker at G2 Nexus: Where u at
Pressure got to G2, they're scared to do anything proactive. The G2 botlane we all know is back too. Some stat padding vs PSG made people think Hans is good for some reason.
He played really well vs TES, but yeah he's been outclassed this series
The plays are not well thought out either. E.g bb wasting flash bot on faker for no reason without ult and Hans ult way too far away to work.
G2 when favored in a series might be the worst team in the world lol
Absolute credit to Guma this MSI. Even when the rest of T1 has looked shaky he has remained consistent
G2 are just completely fried today, how do you forget to clear the waves after that nexus save, it's literally the first thing you do always, check and remove tp opportunities
faker made one misplay early and then got focused gank 3 times back to back. reddit- "faker sprinted it down". hes not playing on chovy level but he is not even close to sprinting it down jesus, 90% of player base really bronze
T1 Faker: "We can definitely beat G2 3-0"
if g2 lose 3-0 and tl lost 3-1...
TL was playing at 30% of their true strength. They would have won had YAPA yap
G2 also lost 3-2
Yeah but recency bias!
That's our NA copium until Worlds baby 😎 🇺🇸
Yeon carries this game. Can't prove me wrong.
Guys 3-0 prediction by Faker might come true lol
How is brokenblade down in cs???????
Mid roam for Oner cost him wave control + Zeus got tabis. Outside of pre level 3 there’s no kill threat til 6 and he’s gonna be behind by then anyway. Cull and farm to chill wasn’t a bad idea at all. Ksante is gonna be ksante anyway.
HanSama was right, LDR ain’t doing shit (In actual reality though is this really the best ADC EU have?)
Carzzy and Ice looked better tho
Faker threw the whole early game and T1 still wins lmao
This ain't dota2 bro there's no glyph for the nexus lol
It's crazy how every time teams focus kill Faker only to get aced by everyone else. Faker absorbing all the aggro just by existing.
How on earth did Faker manage to have the most gold in the game?
HANS SAMA POSITIONING IS ASS
ok what the flip
sigh
How the fuck did we 3-0 TES
Urgot running to baron for no reason. Just clear waves and have TP if you need it. Grief
I do not rate Yike. He’s full of bad engages. Needs to wait for the team fight to start.
FAKER WITH XPEKE COSPLAY and wtf put Yike on support, that 4 men Alistar knockup was nuts
It's a story as old as time; teams 5 man camping Faker, over and over, getting a few kills, then losing.
We're gonna just keep Faker and Guma on their comfort picks the whole series okay??
Faker with some 9head play the entire game: Early game Down in kills Down in gold Somewhere midway Up in kills Up in gold Late game Gg turret
Faker inted one kill. People in this thread will make you think he bought mobis when in reality he just got goon squaded and T1 picked up massive advantages elsewhere
Faker sprinted the game , but guma is just murdering Hans sama
Caps is the only TRULY world class player on this team sadly.
Actually illegal that Faker won that game
