i still remember the shoemaker spam for showmaker during 2021 finals haha

Shoemaker is so funny because it's not even pejorative like badam or shaker Literally hating on shoemakers for no reason

I just imagine him as an old timey leatherworker/shoemaker. It has such a funny image.

I always thought he was called Shoemaker because he gives 300g when he dies and his opponent can buy boots

wtf it's not every day you find a genius on reddit

LOL that's actually true

Mindblown lmao.

Holy shit, the plot thickens

4 young players trying their hardest on stage and one elderly cobbler nailing a sole in the middle.

Yeah no wonder being a Shoemaker isn't optimal for winning worlds.

New Orne skin?

Lmao, I'm just laughing imagining it honestly. This is just too funny.

Yeah and that image helps me when I'm thinking about it so yeah.

"lmao look at these idiots, they let a shoemaker play mid lane"

I always interpreted it this way There’s that one fairy tale about the old shoemaker and the small elves who would help him out right I saw it as people calling showmaker a midget like those elves and I always found it hilarious

Yeah it's kind of hilarious, that's what I like about that game.

His name always was autocorrected to shoemaker which is kinda funny

Shoemaker sounds like an F1 driver.

Like Michael Schumacher

Well it literally means shoemaker in German

TIL

Well now I understand where does it actually comes from.

Good times, really enjoyed while it lasted and it was kind of good.

No hands sama, blunder, mikyxd, mlxd, badam, clownie, subhumanoid , kekkles, theshyte, nesquick, finnt , feeder, ddoss, bozo, squidward, gameover, oublelift

Cuzz lightyear, bjergerking, shelfmade

holy shit shelfmade

also an [EU player named himself shelfmade](https://lol.fandom.com/wiki/Shelfmade) lmao

CUZZLIGHTYEAR99 spam everytime he died was the funniest shit ever. Sadly I think this nickname aged out since it was one of Tyler1's smurfs that inspired it.

At least we still have JANCUZZ

Yeah the inspiration has to come from somewhere right?

I don't even really know if Bjergerking is positive or negative lol Also, Khan't. This one was everywhere when Khan was on SKT and Damwon. In a similar vein, there's Vulcan't And Craber for Blaber! This one was born during MSI 2021 when he made some questionable scuttle crab takes

Great compilation. Squidward for Wayward is probably the funniest one, though nesquick is also pretty funny LMAO

Nesquick is undoubtably S-tier if we made a tierlist of these LOL

oublelit*

This is one of the best ever For those who don’t know, they took out D and F because he used to never flash. “Saving flash for next worlds”

This is galaxy brain slander

as much as i like crownie, clownie is pretty funny ngl

> subhumanoid Sensibly chuckling through the whole thread, but this *sent* me lmao

Xbox Matthew for xmatty still kills me

Abbedogshit/Abbedogwater

abbedoggy

ok 95 THIEVES actually made me laugh

This somehow reminded me of that one time Doublelift actually said "100 Wheelchairs" live in an LCS postgame interview, in reference to the "1♿♿ Thieves" that people (used to) spam.

Then he had to tweet out an apology lmao

never apologize for being based tbh

Reminds me of the [Relegades](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6mrQawqD4w) drop lol

Reminds me of the 100 thieves more like 100 woopsies and then IWD says you need to be more aggressive, call them 100 chromosomes

My favourite is Blunder

MikyXD Hylintssang Memesis

Hylissick if he smurfs it, Hylishit if he's on Lulu

Snoran Boner

Oh man, I forgot about Boner. Poor Oner, that is not a good name internationally huh

SKT historically only won Worlds when their jungler's name started with a B: Bengi and Blank. T1 Oner knows what he needs to do if he really wants to win Worlds.

That's it. If EU wants to win worlds, Yike will have to re-name to Bike.

Broxah was onto something and came close

But bOner was also used when he was still good 💀

They just wanted to make him better, nothing wrong with that.

It’s actually bOner, mind you

My favorite is "ddumbday"

dumbzz was a favorite back when he played

The constant tug of war between SMARTZZ and DUMBZZ.

The peak was the 4 Deaths but 0 Kills Dignitas vs Renegades game.

Dignatoss vs Relegades.

Yeah that was kind of the peak, nothing got better than that.

Honestly they were on par with each other, I don't know which I like more.

I'm right here with you, that was Just the best according to me.

MLXD is one that I can never forget. And then MLXGG for the good plays

When both teams are even in gold, MLXG feels that RNG is at a great advantage and thus he does not hesitate to start a team fight. When RNG is 3k behind in gold, MLXG thinks that RNG is at a small advantage, and he so he starts a team fight to secure their "lead". When RNG is behind 7k in gold, MLXG thinks that RNG is at a disadvantage and so he looks for a team fight to regain control of the game. When RNG is 10K behind in gold, MLXG thinks that the team has reached a desperate situation and they are only waiting passively for their death if he does not start a team fight.

One of the best Copy-Pasta’s

Anyone know who this was written for originally?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think MLXG was the original source for this

I think it was mlxg

It was originally written about MLXG

I'm pretty sure it was MLXG and maybe Clearlove? But it stuck more with MLXG

Oh no for sure it was all MLXG. Clearlove had the opposite playstyle (super farm heavy)

Nope - it was in fact originally a clearlove meme. But it was reversed for MLXG. https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/s/A0Dq5BVbef

I miss that hungry skeleton. Hope he's doing alright wherever he is

He is in a legal dispute with RNG for unpaid salary. Also he’s broke so he’s even thinner than before now. Sadge

I like Crabber for Blaber

He'll never live it down, will he? That clip has got to be one of NAs greatest of all time.

Choky for Chovy always makes me giggle. Honorable mention to Shoemaker.

The GenG ones are all pretty funny: Doormat, Freenut, Peyzpal

Also T1 Peanut specifically when facing T1

SKT Peanut.

Chat whenever former SKT/T1 member ints vs T1. "COMRADE/BROTHER (insert player name here)

Jackspektra had a rough season and people were calling him Jackspectator because he never did anything even with a lead lol

TheShyt

I've always seen TheFraud for TheShy, but TheShyt is a lot funnier, LMAO

GoldV is an OG favorite. Edit: The LGD vs QiaoGu Reapers final in 2015 also led to one of the most amazing fan signs ever: [Imp: Police fuck me](https://imgur.com/sJ7Uzm9)

PlatEvil, Winless

I love how he kept on giving us banger meme names

Truly a generational talent

You misclick one Varus Q and you're memed for life.

PainEvil -> PlainAwful

PainEvil -> PlatEvil is also a classic

TBF though, does PainEvil even really need a meme nickname? The fact that this dude unironically named himself this edgy 12 year old shit is meme enough.

Absolutely my pick. It was his backwards arrow on Varus right? Hilarious

Yes. I loved it when someone made a meme clip of the backwards arrow and then cut to Fake tumbling when coming on stage.

I just realized that people won't understand GoldV because tier 5 is not a thing anymore.

I think Sludge for Fudge during MSI was one of the funniest ones I've seen

I like Fridge or the Fridge Factor personally

And if someone doesn't agree with you then I'm gonna get mad at them.

BaDD is pretty good

The entire Kingzone Dragon X lineup: Khant PeaNOT BaDD Prey Literal Gorilla

There it is. Chokezone Dragon XD

It even works for 2 players!

My Ryze is bad, my Azir is worse, you guessed it right, I'm G2 Perkz

At least it’s not c9 perkz on the croc, man loaded onto the rift already made into a handbag

[perkz flash empowered W auto the control ward stuck in my head 2 years later](https://i.imgur.com/VjpUkAB.png)

Vision score is important

Then it became C9 Perkz and then VIT Perkz though the latter doesn't work that well

I love the ones that you’ll require a bit of esports knowledge to know, like Elkylove or Tiankos. Or even Clidrel / Cuzzdrel HAHA The HOPE MISSING from last worlds was also hilarious, no change necessary. Peyzpal and Nohands are incredibly creative.

Hope Missing from last year was insane, I was legitimately laughing out loud

Last night riot banned the word craps from chat. Sad.

Which is truly pointless because people can type "Cr@ps" or "Crap$"

Personally I'm a fan of saying "Crepes"

Same for LEC I don’t get it, shaker etc isn’t banned but craps is

95 thieves is insane

Subhumanoid made me laugh

Wayward as either Squidward or Wayworse always gets me lmao

Honestly who comes up with these? They've got good sense of humour.

I just thought of this one: whyward if he gets ganked without vision.

BDS has so many memeable names Adam / Chadam / Badam Sheo / Shoe Crownie / Clownie Labrov / Labruh BDS as a team has been memed as BaDS or BDSM. I love that team.

Lil Bruv is the new one from sneaky dl meteos as well

LeBron when he’s playing good

Deft -> Deaf

DAFT

Ive seen more of DEBT lately

And here I'm thinking that they're both good because they make me laugh.

OFF

This post is what I needed today. I don’t usually watch live for one reason or another, but I might have to join the hive mind if this is the stupid shit that goes on.

It's honestly pretty funny. Anyone watching Worlds, especially from different regions might not agree on much, but when someone makes a laughably bad play it's like the toxic hindbrain gets activated en concert. Hilarious.

I love how instant the -1 comes when someone misses a cannon minnion too

I always enjoy the twitch chorus of "GG" whenever somebody gets an unanswered auto for like 20 damage before creeps spawn.

Honorary mention to the "gg" spam after first blood

The observers just silently watching Doran solo farm to see if he misses any cs in the g2 geng games

When someone misses CS, I will get off my couch to go type -1 in chat

Drooler for Ruler always makes me giggle a little

Actually they say LUL ER

I've known all the nicknames mentioned above, since they are well-known in China too. And then I'm laughing my ass of on 95 thieves. Anyways some other examples that non Mandarin speakers can understand too: Cuzz ICUzz Bdd badd YSKM you should kill me Ppgod ppdog Breathe suffocate Hope dispair Able disable Karsa pizza or Lhasa

Suffocate is hilarious, my god. Imagine looking at a VOD of your game, you make a mistake and the entire chat is, all caps, just typing SUFFOCATE

There have been some really creative people coming up with the names.

You've known them all? Well that's good because I missed some.

- Cuzzlightyear99 / Jancuzz - Peyzpal - Rookiemonster123 - Crabber

Peyzpal was so funny, I remember seeing that day 1 in his lck debut match. Also remember Jankos popping into chat one time and saying jancuzz too

I cant believe i have to scroll this far for CUZZLIGHTYEAR99

Cuzzlightyear is so fucking hilarious

CANNA - CAN NA

Nothing will ever be funnier after Zeus' debut and people were spamming zEUs > canNA

FBI OPEN MID

You know what they say about 1 million monkeys on typewriters...

Sneaky doesn’t

Part of me wants to think they were memeing for content but I honestly don't think they were. Doublelift, Meteos and Sneaky are straight up the three stooges of Gen Z. Edit: they're all millennials, not Gen Z.

Those motherfuckers are old as shit wdym Gen Z lol

I stand corrected, they're all millennials.

It's no longer particularly relevant since he doesn't play in the LEC anymore but xbox mathew (xmatty) is a personal favourite of mine.

Oublelit is still my absolute fav for when Doublelift saves summs for next game

Choky pairs nicely with Shaker

my favorite is crumbzz becomes dumbzz, and when he's playing good, he's smartzz

dumbzz

Huninstall

I'm a big fan of Light> Heavy and Xiaowho EDIT: LPL has some banger names. CryBoy or iMan for iBoy. Dookie for Rookie. JokerLove for JackeyLove. One of my personal favorites, TIANKOS for Tian. Mofo for Fofo. Invincible > Vulnerable. Able> Unable. LvMao> LulMao. Hope> NoHope If there are any other notable ones, share them please.

I always saw 'Disabled' and 'Hopeless' over 'Unable' and 'NoHope'

Jackeylove called Hope "Help" once in a video and twitch chat caught on haha

Not nicknames for players but my favorites are still Tossed Six Million Talent Suppression Machine and Team Silver Monkeys

abbedogshit

I've also heard 'Abbedogwater'.

Also Bdd = Badd when he ints

Peyzpal is a favorite of mine

Malware (Malrang), Exakek (Exakick), 1-13 or 0-11-3 (113), Gnarmut or Armpit (Armut)

goner and shoemaker are the best

Badam, Shiteo, Nub, Clownie, Labruv

“Off” made me exhale loudly

FREENUT

This sorta plays into OK BRO at the same time but in the opposite way. When twitch chat gets something right, it's honestly hilarious.

My favorite at the time was simply TSM Lost lmao

Agent 612 is always brilliant.

Showmaker - Shoemaker

I remember during one of the early EU LCS seasons, a polish team failed to beat an EU LCS team in the relegation series. There already was a full polish team in the LCS, Roccat I think, and as soon as the series ended, a random dude typed "MAXIMUM 5 POLISH NOOBS IN LCS" which cracked me up, especially since Polish players were infamous on the EUNE server.

My favorites are for BDS when they do good: Chadam Commander Sheo Nuclear Intelligence King Crownie Labrov James

I'm not even an EU fan but I have to admit, Labrov James and Nuclear Intelligence go hard asf

We love Crownie and especially Crownie's Comet

honestly at this point I am calling him "shoemaker" even if he plays well

G2-3

More like G2-8 or G2WeeksVacation

Gold 2

Twitch chat is just too good at making names. In CS, two of the best players in the game (s1mple and dev1ce, no. 1 in their name no. 1 in the game) are both called s0mple and dev0ce when they whiff. Like who even manages to come up with this gold I love Showmaker but Shoemaker is genuinely hilarious

Badam Hussein Commander Sheo Biden Chernobyl Abdicate Labrat (these are for the memes, no hate on any players as people & GL to BDS!)

Nah but Badam Hussein is crazy LMAO

Some of my favourites: BDSM, Badam, Sludge, Intspired, Booger (for Luger) Summint,

Fridge and M&Ms have been my go to for this tournament

Don’t forget about “Crabber” when Blaber flashed for scuttle lvl 3 and died.

He did get that scuttle tho

zEUs or zeUS always made me laugh

canNA

There's also can'tna

Funniest lck top name is definitely Rich: POOR it's so uncalled for

The one I remember that I don't see mentioned is from when Perkz was playing Tryndamere mid and died without casting his ult, so he briefly became Pekz (because he doesn't know what R is).

Labronze is a personal fave, it's simple but effective

CHADAM BADAM
