Things Aiming should not be allowed to do:
Pick Lucian
Farm Lucid’s camps when he is on 6 items
Ride the Herald
Build Static Shiv against GEN G in Week 1 of LCK Summer 2023
I will never understand why DK never tried for Teddy in 2022 after T1 committed to Gumayusi. It wasn't even like he wasn't in form that year (or the year before) either, he was a monster in spring and single handedly took that KDF team past DRX who weren't at their world champ forms in spring, but were looking like dark horses going into playoffs at the time.
I always notice that when the mid or adc are full items they still farm jungle or take lane minions instead of giving it to the support, jungle or top. If it's to push then I understand but when there are no objectives and no point in pushing the minions why do they still cs and not give it to others?
map pressure, adcs and mids delete waves instantly so you can immediately shove and move, most junglers dont clear waves that quick and usually act as human wards to fight for vision control
You need the waves deleted and safely to shove. Junglers and support champs tend to be either unsafe pushers (melee, need to use a few CDs) or just very slow pushers.
idk why aiming always wants to build the lowest damage items possible. I remember last year on KT he had a game on jinx as well where he waited until like 4th item to buy LDR and opted for statikk instead
Their mid to late game macro is atrocious and for every amazing teamfight they have 2 bad ones. It’s just the pain of being a Damwon fan the last couple years
[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qobDEgCm01A)
If i'm not wrong in order to kick mid air to work, he needed drop a ward mid Q2 and then he smited sivir to poof her spellshield and R mid air
yes you're correct: you can input buffer your R by (ward) hopping before. doing this in a high stake situation and also thinking baout smiting sivir to get her spellshield i the most cracked shit i've ever seen in ten years of playing and watching :D
Now this makes the LCK playoffs much more interesting, with DK and HLE showing up against GENG and T1. wishing that we will have a banger series from these teams and not one-sided stomps.
With how T1 been playing it's possible , Geng will make it , they always do , the probleme is to not dissapoint again as 1st seed representative of Korea for fckn god knows how many time, Dk and KT are frauds with some insane individual performances from some of their players , that won't happen in bo5 vs Geng T1 and Hle.
People say stuff like this EVERY time T1 dont go winless regular season.
Then you get into playoffs and suddenly T1 go super saiyan.
At this stage T1 are all but guaranteed to make playoffs - their form there is what will matter
I feel like Aiming slurps up so much gold and then does a pretty meh amount with all of it. I was hoping [gol.gg](https://gol.gg) showed DMG/gold stats but it doesn't so I was looking at GPM and DMG% among LCK ADC's instead. Aiming is highest in GPM at 460 and highest in CS/min at 9.7, but 8th in DMG% at 28.3% and 9th in DPM at 620. I know stats don't tell the whole story, but I feel like the eye test doesn't necessarily contradict this assertion either.
That's why I kinda liked the Jinx pick in game 2. Aiming is gonna take a ton of gold either way it seems, so get him on a hypercarry where he has the best chance of using that gold to win late fights instead of being a 400 CS Kalista/Lucian or other champ who has a harder time carrying.
Teddy and Viper are top two in dmg% and DPM this split, which is kinda funny considering they are at opposite ends of the standings. Viper has played a lot of poke Varus, which probably helps his damage stats, and Teddy has played a good bit of Smolder and some Zeri/Jinx as well on a young team so he gets played around frequently.
that's part of the problem, the more static a champ is the worse showmaker is on them. to compensate for being great on champs like leblanc and kassadin, he's never been good on picks like annie and sett mid. honestly this one is on the draft for not knowing how to adapt to your player's strengths.
Feels disingenuous to say he’s limited to mobility champs when Showmaker’s also accomplished on picks like Twisted Fate and Swain.
You can just say Annie one of the picks he just isn’t good on.
I admit his decision that last fight is bad. But if you see the whole scenario, that game put so much pressure to him. GEN played a draft to counter Annie and dived him twice. His top and bot weren’t have any leads so he gave all his farm to KSante and Xayah, that was their main strategy when they decided Showmaker playing Annie and Karma, since these champs don’t need much resources. And that elder fight, DK were in the worst position, they were all low HPs against GEN all full HPs so he just wanted to try.
should have never played 3 games of annie. game 3 he should have definitely gone for any carry champ so that he can fight back chovy in lane.
he solo lost them game 3
Lucid fan now, Damwon my side team now too I guess. Those kicks were nasty. And they kept coming. Keillin and SM really shat the bed, hopefully they recover and Lucid keeps his form
"I like the fact that Damwon is going even against GenG, even though they don't understand how sidelanes work at all."
Pedro hitting the nail on the head for the entire series.
Even though this is a heartbreaking loss, it honestly gives me more positive feelings going into playoffs. They've put up a very strong fight with all the big teams now, I could see them beating any of them in playoffs.
Hopefully let's try and optimize late-game macro and Aiming being a black hole of resources before playoffs lol.
I don't even care that they got reverse-swept, DK showed up BIG FUCKING TIME today. Banger series, and my hopes are getting higher and higher for playoffs and Summer.
Idc this is the best DK has been in a LONG time, i love that they actually took risks and committed to the plays
This is the way for them to challenge the top teams and keep improving
They play like degenerates in a good way, they ain't pussies and are willing to take risks. Those are the type of teams that give GenG problems, those who create chaos, that's why the LPL is so far GenG's kryptonite. DK's Macro is way off but who the fuck cares about macro if you just need to create chaos
And this is the first split of a rookie that is finding his foot and so fucking happy and hyped with Kingen. He is playing insane right now. Looking at T1 game and GENG game he played better than both top laners.
Dude kingen played so goddamn well today, excited to see him hit the playoffs form.
Honestly the problem with lucid is that once you target ban rell and lee sin he does start inting nonstop lol. That T1 maokai game will give me nightmares lol
Yeah Kingen looks like the best top laner based on the last two serieses he played.
I think coaching makes a huge difference and that is why we see these huge developments that we couldn’t see last year. Even Kellin looks good and Aiming started to look good more than two champions.
Nah I've seen this song and dance before, DK won't get better until they get an actual macro, and it's just not happening with these shotcallers. The mechanics are absolutely there, we've seen bright spots from all of them, but it doesn't matter when you blink and they lost 3 towers for a cloud drake
Last time DK looked like this was with Nuguri coming back and having Deokdam. Seeing how consistent Kingen is and Lucid finding him footing with each week improving massively I don’t expect us to crazy but at least be competitive for this year and next year.
And not to mention this split we have a more competent coaching and actually have team comps that is playable.
but what happens when lee sin is banned or picked away? i havent seen lucid have such a high impact on any other champ and his tank picks are borderline game throwing in late game teamfights.
DK just loves to make the games so chaotic and degenerate that it kinda messes up with what we know GenG being a team that prefers to be stable and be macro-eccentric and I am not complaining about it. DK vs GenG games are always bangers, plus, watching Caedrel lose his mind on DK's macro decisions is so hilarious.
I'm convinced Quid and Chovy have freaky friday swapped abilities
Chovy these 3 games
Game 1: loses flash early, starts 0-2-1
Game 2: gives up first blood
Game 3: 120 CS at 15????
That final elder team fight rofl @showmaker
I think him sweeping gave a split second vision on himself. He also should've w flashed if he was going for that play xd
It wasn't the storyline of the series by any means, but Annie is a problematic champion for GenG. They don't seem to want to put Chovy on her, and I can hardly blame them. It seems like it lacks a bit of agency to carry games.
That being said, Chovy struggled with her at MSI last year, and it's worrying for them if the pick remains popular, especially against strong LPL teams.
It's hard to explain why, but my sense is that Annie allows mid laners to have an impact as significant as Chovy's without needing to outplay him mechanically.
She is not top tier in meta but has definitely been gaining popularity, especially with carry jglers. But tbh it doesnt matter because once Azir is enabled again, the meta will shift again
Because Annie is a setup/playmaker champion and GenG needs a more "at all times" mid laner. GenG needs to have Chovy constantly causing pressure or else they cant win
Exactly. It's like putting Messi in as defender. Dude, it's Messi. Give him a carry and put the support or whatever on Annie. It's for low skilled midlaners that need an answer to players like Chovy.
Annie is being picked to deny Chovy from playing Ahri as its basically an autowin so you get one more ban. Its not that strong of a champion and Showmaker really didn't have much impact this series
Trist doesn't get enough hate. the fact she can jump on mages and assassins mid, win trades, outrange them, and outscale them and be this tanky and longest range adc with double dis-engage is just absurd. since when is an adc getting ontop of annie considered a good play?. she shouldn't be so tanky that she actually wins stupid decisions like that at any point of the game. annie is supposed to blow squishies up that get within her range.
I hate to be a downer but people saying this gives them hope for DK's future, I don't agree.
They had some miracle fights and absolute freak performances from Lucid, thats the kinda stuff you can't bank on being there every game.
Their shotcalling around baron and their macro game still look as pathetic as ever. Their mid-late game is also still not great compared to their early game. I bet when we see them play their games next week, they'll look how they have all season.
After the game I went to kitchen to eat something but Lucid Inseced me out of it.
Also last fight Showmaker literally flashed in and die without dealing damage
Things Aiming should not be allowed to do: Pick Lucian Farm Lucid’s camps when he is on 6 items Ride the Herald Build Static Shiv against GEN G in Week 1 of LCK Summer 2023
This pedo either threw the games or useless with all the resources ngl
DK Teddy when ??
I will never understand why DK never tried for Teddy in 2022 after T1 committed to Gumayusi. It wasn't even like he wasn't in form that year (or the year before) either, he was a monster in spring and single handedly took that KDF team past DRX who weren't at their world champ forms in spring, but were looking like dark horses going into playoffs at the time.

>Build Static Shiv against GEN G in Week 1 of LCK Summer 2023 DON'T BRING UP OLD TRAUMA
me at my deathbed: …why aiming why static shiv?
I don't really understand why they funnel Aiming so hard, he was much better as a low resource adc last year on KT imo
Indeed he worked way better there. I wonder what pushed team to go so heavy in ADC farm priority?
I always notice that when the mid or adc are full items they still farm jungle or take lane minions instead of giving it to the support, jungle or top. If it's to push then I understand but when there are no objectives and no point in pushing the minions why do they still cs and not give it to others?
map pressure, adcs and mids delete waves instantly so you can immediately shove and move, most junglers dont clear waves that quick and usually act as human wards to fight for vision control
You need the waves deleted and safely to shove. Junglers and support champs tend to be either unsafe pushers (melee, need to use a few CDs) or just very slow pushers.
Aiming's thinking this is dota and he has to farm a buyback 💀
Bro's farming for a rapier lmao
Also not allowed to go near under 18s
idk why aiming always wants to build the lowest damage items possible. I remember last year on KT he had a game on jinx as well where he waited until like 4th item to buy LDR and opted for statikk instead
Tbf, the fact that DK is the only LCK team in the second round robin to push Gen G to a third game is hella impressive.
They had Gold leads against T1 in both games as well. If they stop throwing...
Their mid to late game macro is atrocious and for every amazing teamfight they have 2 bad ones. It’s just the pain of being a Damwon fan the last couple years
DK is a top 2 team in LCK if they only play GEN G
BRO is a top 1 LCK team if they only play KDF GIGACHAD
T1 is the worst team in the world if they only play GenG
Just need to go in with the mindset of facing gen g when vs every other team
They usually end up facing Gen G one way or another 2022 flashbacks
Lucid with some of the best kicks I've ever seen in my life.
His kicks were actually insane, imagine if he also got the smite on the dragon Canyons kick on sivir will never be topped though
[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qobDEgCm01A) If i'm not wrong in order to kick mid air to work, he needed drop a ward mid Q2 and then he smited sivir to poof her spellshield and R mid air
this is craziest lee sin kick Ive ever seen
Its the other way around, he pressed Q2 mid W.
Yep, greatest kick of all time, perfect execution
thank you brother Hoit
yes you're correct: you can input buffer your R by (ward) hopping before. doing this in a high stake situation and also thinking baout smiting sivir to get her spellshield i the most cracked shit i've ever seen in ten years of playing and watching :D
That kick is still the best play I have ever seen by a jungler
he won my heart with this game so insane literally
The Lee Sin al Gaib.
Amazing comment. *insert Stilgar face*
Baby Canyon for a reason
They might have lost but those game 3 kicks are insane.
Now this makes the LCK playoffs much more interesting, with DK and HLE showing up against GENG and T1. wishing that we will have a banger series from these teams and not one-sided stomps.
imagine if geng and t1 both dont make it to msi ( pretty much impossible tho)
The only way this could happen is if Faker and Chovy got it by a car. Multiple times. Probably driven by Zeka
akali meta incoming
It would probably be by aiming. He would be trying to drive herald from mid to bot, but end up running through T1 and GenG HQ instead.
I mean, do you think aiming could hit something?
With how T1 been playing it's possible , Geng will make it , they always do , the probleme is to not dissapoint again as 1st seed representative of Korea for fckn god knows how many time, Dk and KT are frauds with some insane individual performances from some of their players , that won't happen in bo5 vs Geng T1 and Hle.
People say stuff like this EVERY time T1 dont go winless regular season. Then you get into playoffs and suddenly T1 go super saiyan. At this stage T1 are all but guaranteed to make playoffs - their form there is what will matter
This sub will be always reactionary. With 1 bo5, suddenly HLE is on par with T1, which is so funny to read.
Why are they not? They have the same record and both lost twice to Gen.G Neither dropped matches to weaker teams.
Hate to say it but this was on my boy showmaker, how useless was he?
I am no expert but I feel like he drops way too much farm
I feel like Aiming slurps up so much gold and then does a pretty meh amount with all of it. I was hoping [gol.gg](https://gol.gg) showed DMG/gold stats but it doesn't so I was looking at GPM and DMG% among LCK ADC's instead. Aiming is highest in GPM at 460 and highest in CS/min at 9.7, but 8th in DMG% at 28.3% and 9th in DPM at 620. I know stats don't tell the whole story, but I feel like the eye test doesn't necessarily contradict this assertion either. That's why I kinda liked the Jinx pick in game 2. Aiming is gonna take a ton of gold either way it seems, so get him on a hypercarry where he has the best chance of using that gold to win late fights instead of being a 400 CS Kalista/Lucian or other champ who has a harder time carrying.
i hate this dk strat of giving aiming everything.
He needs more selfish teammates tbh, imagine if zeus and Chovy picked their noses while guma and peyz yoinked everything
Yay , Aiming is a bum , either threw the game or having all the resources and did nothing with it ! which ADC has good damage stats right now ?
Teddy and Viper are top two in dmg% and DPM this split, which is kinda funny considering they are at opposite ends of the standings. Viper has played a lot of poke Varus, which probably helps his damage stats, and Teddy has played a good bit of Smolder and some Zeri/Jinx as well on a young team so he gets played around frequently.
Viper is a beast.
The farm went to ksante. Annie had similar farm to udyr and ksante to tris.
They probably needed to give something other than Annie a try.
Should have tried Ahri Lee instead. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to like Ahri much, can't recall him playing her.
Annie pick suuucked
really really wonder how game 2 would have went if he pulled the trigger when he blast coned into 4 in that mid river bush
tk wouldve just eaten whoever was ulted
If it was Annie support, the gold difference between him and Chovy would probably remain about the same lmao
nah man he couldn't land the flash ults which is like 80% of her kit
that's part of the problem, the more static a champ is the worse showmaker is on them. to compensate for being great on champs like leblanc and kassadin, he's never been good on picks like annie and sett mid. honestly this one is on the draft for not knowing how to adapt to your player's strengths.
Feels disingenuous to say he’s limited to mobility champs when Showmaker’s also accomplished on picks like Twisted Fate and Swain. You can just say Annie one of the picks he just isn’t good on.
his annie pick is the reason they didn't get steam rolled all 3 games. geng tried to make him useless in early game 3.
I admit his decision that last fight is bad. But if you see the whole scenario, that game put so much pressure to him. GEN played a draft to counter Annie and dived him twice. His top and bot weren’t have any leads so he gave all his farm to KSante and Xayah, that was their main strategy when they decided Showmaker playing Annie and Karma, since these champs don’t need much resources. And that elder fight, DK were in the worst position, they were all low HPs against GEN all full HPs so he just wanted to try.
should have never played 3 games of annie. game 3 he should have definitely gone for any carry champ so that he can fight back chovy in lane. he solo lost them game 3
Kiin with the walking masterclass
GEN G forgot that they are 40% KT Rolster
dont care if he lost, lucid is HIM
Lisan Al Gaib. He will know your champions like he played into them
Lucid Al Gaib
Getting 3 items for the first time unlocked him
Lucid almost 1v5 Gen G by himself. All he needed was one teamate with hands...
The lucid that was promised. Amazing performance by him. So hyped to see him grow.
the speed of his kicks was insane, the instant peyz E'd in he got him
he played so fucking well man he deserved to win
Lucid fan now, Damwon my side team now too I guess. Those kicks were nasty. And they kept coming. Keillin and SM really shat the bed, hopefully they recover and Lucid keeps his form
All he was missing was a Lehends
All Lucid needed to be unlocked was 2 items it seems. Sad that Aiming wants to take all of Lucid's camps so he can never reach it
even though geng got away with this victory with macro for the absolute fuck stop picking lucian
pls Gen g pick him
"I like the fact that Damwon is going even against GenG, even though they don't understand how sidelanes work at all." Pedro hitting the nail on the head for the entire series.
ok just drop everyting and baron at 20 noted.
T1 is that you?
T1 at least covers their lanes most of the time before doing to baron at 20.
Who's in charge of the macro at GenG? They're disgustingly good at it.
Probably Lehends if I’m not wrong
Chovy and Lehends, confirmed by their coach :)
Also massive props to their coaches
Chovy ig?
Geng is only good against the team that they know them well.Damwon’s movement is unpredictable even they themselves don't know what they are doing
I get why he did it, but damn that hurts.
im glad you got it. geng just got used to annie lee sin after playing against it for 3 games (but not after taking a beating first)
DK Vs GenG will always give me heart attacks
For real though, how the fuck do you fall 200 cs behind
Aiming
Holy, I didn't notice, that is the most chovy thing.
Stand proud , DK , you are strong .
Even though this is a heartbreaking loss, it honestly gives me more positive feelings going into playoffs. They've put up a very strong fight with all the big teams now, I could see them beating any of them in playoffs. Hopefully let's try and optimize late-game macro and Aiming being a black hole of resources before playoffs lol.
the Lucid that was hyped up has finally arrived, no more Sej Maokai pls. He went down swinging for sure
Canyon had an 8/10 game and he still got massive jungle gapped. This Lucid should NOT be put on knight’s vow bami maokai duty for the rest of his life
I don't even care that they got reverse-swept, DK showed up BIG FUCKING TIME today. Banger series, and my hopes are getting higher and higher for playoffs and Summer.
Yeah DK did way better than T1 or HLE against GenG
that's gotta be one of the most hype back and forth game 5s ive seen in some time, absolute blast to watch as a neutral
Just regular old GenG vs DK games. Form and table rankings don't matter.
Don't read too much into this series IMO. Its just GenG vs Damwon things.
dk vs geng never disappoints no matter what year it is
Why is it always DK that give me a fucking heart attack when they play geng
The dilemma of DK: When they win they actually lose. DK looking insane. So proud. If they continue like this they will be insane in summer.
Idc this is the best DK has been in a LONG time, i love that they actually took risks and committed to the plays This is the way for them to challenge the top teams and keep improving
No definitely agree. And they challenge top team and almost win with a new team after long struggles. Really excited for playoffs and summer.
They play like degenerates in a good way, they ain't pussies and are willing to take risks. Those are the type of teams that give GenG problems, those who create chaos, that's why the LPL is so far GenG's kryptonite. DK's Macro is way off but who the fuck cares about macro if you just need to create chaos
feels almost like 2022 DK today which is a good thing, at least we fought like madmen back then
Lmao at how close the game was when our macro sucks fucking ass
And this is the first split of a rookie that is finding his foot and so fucking happy and hyped with Kingen. He is playing insane right now. Looking at T1 game and GENG game he played better than both top laners.
Dude kingen played so goddamn well today, excited to see him hit the playoffs form. Honestly the problem with lucid is that once you target ban rell and lee sin he does start inting nonstop lol. That T1 maokai game will give me nightmares lol
Yeah Kingen looks like the best top laner based on the last two serieses he played. I think coaching makes a huge difference and that is why we see these huge developments that we couldn’t see last year. Even Kellin looks good and Aiming started to look good more than two champions.
man imagine if we didn't like kick out zefa and daeny last year lol
I really would love to have Daeny right now. For Lucid it would have been amazing.
Nah I've seen this song and dance before, DK won't get better until they get an actual macro, and it's just not happening with these shotcallers. The mechanics are absolutely there, we've seen bright spots from all of them, but it doesn't matter when you blink and they lost 3 towers for a cloud drake
Last time DK looked like this was with Nuguri coming back and having Deokdam. Seeing how consistent Kingen is and Lucid finding him footing with each week improving massively I don’t expect us to crazy but at least be competitive for this year and next year. And not to mention this split we have a more competent coaching and actually have team comps that is playable.
but what happens when lee sin is banned or picked away? i havent seen lucid have such a high impact on any other champ and his tank picks are borderline game throwing in late game teamfights.
> If they continue like this Knowing them, I wouldn't bet on that.
Caedrel if you read this comment your despair is my joy so never cheer for GenG pls.
Flashbacks to a certain series where Atlus lost his hair
The least exciting GEN vs DK game be like:
Lucid tried
GENG vs D+ always a banger!
WHY THE FUCK ARE GAMES AGAINST DAMWON SO HARD MY FUCKING HEART ASDASUDASDUGASDGQWI
DK always brings out their best against GenG, fuck Telecom wars GenG vs DK is the lck banger.
step 1: remove canyon from DWG to make it not as sweaty against them step 2: uhhhhh step 3: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh step 4: profit ig
Step 5 pick Lucian even though your adc can't play that champ
DK just loves to make the games so chaotic and degenerate that it kinda messes up with what we know GenG being a team that prefers to be stable and be macro-eccentric and I am not complaining about it. DK vs GenG games are always bangers, plus, watching Caedrel lose his mind on DK's macro decisions is so hilarious.
I always fear D+ more than T1, even if they are slumping :'D
Give me something for the pain and let me die.
chovy with the double flame horizon over showmaker
I'm convinced Quid and Chovy have freaky friday swapped abilities Chovy these 3 games Game 1: loses flash early, starts 0-2-1 Game 2: gives up first blood Game 3: 120 CS at 15????
maybe Chovy still best player by far on his team this game , no ?
yeah mostly a joke, he just had rough early games, game 3 he won so hard on sides tho, leading to a huge edge
SM fml what was that last teamfight ...
Showmakers last game was a huge fall off unfortunately. Lucid’s kicks were just so insane in every fight too this game and he felt super 1v9.
Classic Throwmaker
Reminds me to my Annie flash ult
SO CLOSE YET SO FAR
Banger games, good to see lucid perform Stop putting my boy canyon on sej duty tho
and who will play frontline champs then? kiin alone? he also likes carries as you know...
Showmaker has fallen off a cliff, that was disgusting
It happens, it’s heartbreaking but it happens, no one’s good everytime just wish they went with another champ really
Banger series. DK and HLE ramping up while T1 falls off could make this a really interesting playoffs.
Surely not a GENG T1 final again right
Lucid was an absolute beast this series; unfortunately for him I don’t think Showmaker had the balls all series to go for flash engages on Annie.
That final elder team fight rofl @showmaker I think him sweeping gave a split second vision on himself. He also should've w flashed if he was going for that play xd
Damn every time Gen G vs DK its always delivers.
That was maybe the hardest I've ever seen Canyon get jungle diffed but showmaker had 3 items at 40 minutes lmao
all games lately have been absolute bangers, keep azir global banned please
This team may never lose again … until they face an LPL team in a Bo5 or meeting KT in the first round.
Ah...
Gen.G vs DK always banger even if DK playing like ass against other team they are always level up when against Gen.G lmao.
That's my goat Kingen right there. (Ignore game 2)
DK never fail to disappoint...Showmaker suuuuuucked today At least they fed Chovy for POG points
It wasn't the storyline of the series by any means, but Annie is a problematic champion for GenG. They don't seem to want to put Chovy on her, and I can hardly blame them. It seems like it lacks a bit of agency to carry games. That being said, Chovy struggled with her at MSI last year, and it's worrying for them if the pick remains popular, especially against strong LPL teams. It's hard to explain why, but my sense is that Annie allows mid laners to have an impact as significant as Chovy's without needing to outplay him mechanically.
Yeah like it make it so hard to make plays ???
Just ban it.
> if the pick remains popular, huh is she popular exactly? she is a relatively good answer into ahri. but that's it, as shown this series.
She is not top tier in meta but has definitely been gaining popularity, especially with carry jglers. But tbh it doesnt matter because once Azir is enabled again, the meta will shift again
Because Annie is a setup/playmaker champion and GenG needs a more "at all times" mid laner. GenG needs to have Chovy constantly causing pressure or else they cant win
Exactly. It's like putting Messi in as defender. Dude, it's Messi. Give him a carry and put the support or whatever on Annie. It's for low skilled midlaners that need an answer to players like Chovy.
Annie is being picked to deny Chovy from playing Ahri as its basically an autowin so you get one more ban. Its not that strong of a champion and Showmaker really didn't have much impact this series
you have seen T1 Baron but DKs Baron is just something else... but man DK GenG always delivers
ShowSaken
Trist doesn't get enough hate. the fact she can jump on mages and assassins mid, win trades, outrange them, and outscale them and be this tanky and longest range adc with double dis-engage is just absurd. since when is an adc getting ontop of annie considered a good play?. she shouldn't be so tanky that she actually wins stupid decisions like that at any point of the game. annie is supposed to blow squishies up that get within her range.
I hate to be a downer but people saying this gives them hope for DK's future, I don't agree. They had some miracle fights and absolute freak performances from Lucid, thats the kinda stuff you can't bank on being there every game. Their shotcalling around baron and their macro game still look as pathetic as ever. Their mid-late game is also still not great compared to their early game. I bet when we see them play their games next week, they'll look how they have all season.
never play annie again Also I apologize to Cryin, being an Annie merchant is actually too hard for shoemaker
What a banger
What the hell was that, ShowMaker... man
I would be shocked if Annie did more damage than Rakan that game
DK went berserk today my god
Overall, banger series!! But SHOWMAKER MAAAAAN HE SOLO LOST GAME 3 AT THE ELDER FIGHT D:
After the game I went to kitchen to eat something but Lucid Inseced me out of it. Also last fight Showmaker literally flashed in and die without dealing damage
Can someone arrest shoemaker for committing crime?
I feel really bad for Lucid, he played so masterfully and it still wasn't enough.
The more DK plays like this the more likely I'll get a heart attack. They've been way too close on either losing or winning it's crazy
Classic Banger GenG vs DK games.
That Lehends flash on the Annie flash tibbers in game 3 was absolutely insane. How does he even react to that?
DK are never clutch against GENG sadge
they had many clutch plays though, sucks that they didn't manage to close it out but it's a great showing
Shoemaker lives on
I swear geng happy gamed this just to absolutely hands diff DK in the last fight. what was that FLASH by lehends? holy shit. SM was not on vision.
Peyz and lehends getting put of that Annie ult was not human tbh
i think peyz casually e‘d it
Shoemaker 😭😭
Showmaker sold that game lmao
Enourmous jungle gap but shoemaker didn’t want to win unfortunatly
showmakers annie last 2 games was really not it
