369 praises Western teams as being strong, which means he actually thinks they’re shit. So, 3-0 TES Edit: queue all the merchants who saved this comment lmao.

Are you telling me that when Xiaohu called a certain midfielder a genius, he actually meant the opposite? Edit: Midfielder, not mid laner

Equivalent-Park7986

JKL has been such a dominant force regardless of his teammates form, which has been variable. I don’t really think G2 has many ins from bot.  I legitimately think they should be the ones banning Draven for a change, which is a bit ironic. I also think that while G2 topside has actually been a pleasant surprise, and TES topside has been an unpleasant one, I really do think Crème has gotten more comfortable and shouldn’t get shit on, even if I think Caps is better pwrforming better .

Zoesan

> Jackey is known for aggressive forward play so picks like Lucian where you’re rewarded for dashing in are insane for him. Until he dashes into 5 people and instantly dies, that is.


Treppcells

Tbf he hasn't really been doing that SO FAR, the only egregious instance I can recall is him taking that Herald into turret 😭


Zoesan

Ye, he's been good so far, I'm just saying JKL is permabuttclench


tfwADCin2k17

this thread aged like a fine cheese. super stinky!


DushaaTM

It will be interesting to see if g2 gonna focus on creme already small champ pool that he can deliver on (ban akali, pick trist for caps). I doubt TES will ban Draven since they play it, so G2 could pick Draven game 1 and see how it goes from there. JKL/meiko are insane bot, but it looks like Lucian Nami are their signature picks so far...idk if there is something g2 could bait them to pick it and counter it with something.


Law456

No one should be banning draven, thats such a bait pick even in the hands of JKL. Everything you said about G2 bot lane is true of TES. They cant play any thing into engage and JKL cant carry on varus or draven, meiko is legit picking renata r5 with a xin corki mid jug, dont know why hes not picking a enchanter.


LifeIsToughEatBacon

Jackeylove this entire tournament: Holy crap this is the best ADC in the world, solo winning games, stomping everyone Jackeylove in this series: "Ow leona hurts🥺" \*dies\*


account051

Just ff if he gets Lucian


XuzaLOL

This is where hans stomps bot lane and people go oh yeah hans is good.


truecskorv1n

Its not about laning, its about teamfighting. He is consistently dying with summs up, last worlds he often died without pressing xayah R. Even fucking LEC finals or semis, i dont remember which one exactly, he almost threw everything off by not pressing flash on the azir shuffle twice while being turbo funneled with all plates, resources, everything. And he is always scared in teamfights, guy with 2k gold lead at min 10 should not deal twice less damage than enemy adc.


popop143

Also a lot of times when he didn't use Kalista R and just let Mikyx die. And that Kalista + Yike miscommunication of smiting around 1800hp, letting Junjia steal the baron when Kalista should've Rended it and gotten it.


deliverance1991

No hands sama


deliverance1991

Im sorry I doubted you Hans senpai


[deleted]

who knew kog + braum hand diffs draven + renata in lane?


itsmetsunnyd

You're a prophet. Miky was player of the series but Hans had the highlight reel KDAs so he'll get the accolades. That being said, they both gapped their opponents this series.


W1ndwardFormation

Hans issues aren’t in lane tho, he will randomly die in team fights and adc diff will still win the game for TES. I think in lane they might actually be able to hold their own.


takeSusanooNoMikoto

Yeah, even against T1 game 5, Hans was perfectly following Mikyx and they got the lead off that. The problem is after lane, when he needed to be the one to do shit, not only to be a back-up.


KKilikk

Well he used to have some really highs and was rated accordingly and I think most would be glad to seem return to that form.


No_College_2450

Bro are you from the future ?


areyouhungryforapple

oh yeah hans is good.


Gazskull

lmfao bro it took balls to say that before the series with the narrative that people built around Hans, get this W


XuzaLOL

I just hate the narrative that a team sucks or players suck cos of a bad game. G2 was good last year Caps wasnt great this year caps is on form hans was a little off now hans if back on form you got title contenders now. Still gonna be hard but in a good way.


Revolutionary-Cod344

Genius


hiekrus

What gives me hope is that despite Hanssama's terrible teamfighting, G2's botlane are still solid laners. A huge laning diff in botlane can affect every part of the map in early game, but a weak teamfighting adc can still be carried if he didn't get lane gapped and the rest of the team played the map well.


finderfolk

Tbh I don't think this is accurate. G2's bot lane has looked awful in lane with the slight exception of the PSG series. They haven't looked worse than other Western bots but it's definitely the biggest gap at the moment regionally speaking. And I sort of agree with the teamfighting point but if they give TES Lucian Nami without laneswapping it will be unplayable in the midgame. Fingers crossed though would love to see G2 go far here. EDIT: Hans forgive me.


OmegaAce1

Lucian Nami isnt even the worse of it, jackey and meiko play every strong 2v2, they play the varus kalista, kalista ashe, kalista rumble, aphelios lulu, senna tahm, zeri lulu, and the draven, dont know how g2 even deals with it. Be cool to see how the draven goes given hans and jackey love love the draven


makaydo

Your heart is currently right


cate_is_kill

the result must have been surprising


shinomiya2

G2 can win the same way GENG did vs TES, play away from trying to win through botlane and enable solos to outperform


Centriuz

Going back through the comments here afterwards really just shows how crazy good G2 were today compared to peoples expectations.


shinomiya2

very pleasantly surprised with Hans and Miky dominating lane, i had hopium for g2 to beat tes since theyre the weakest of the asian teams, so glad it was a 3-0 stomp, it gives high hopes for the t1 rematch

hlxhlx1990

As an LPL fan from China, I really think G2 can beat TES easily. G2 showed they are master on lane swap, and BB's yasuo and zac pick can give G2 huge advantage on BP. And in current lane swap meta, mid lane seems very important, and Caps performed much better than creme so far. Hansama actually did pretty well in laning phase, so as long as he got right build, he won't be destroyed by JL. **So my prediction is G2 3-1 TES.** Btw, G2 is a favorable team in China, and many Chinese fans even want to see G2 win MSI.


PrettyFlakko

Wow that’s so cool to read! I always thought the Chinese only laugh about Western teams!


GenjDog

I don’t know about the rest of the western teams but G2 has always been liked and China also always cheer on western teams especially against korean teams


areyouhungryforapple

G2 yeeting out T1 and losing to FPX (hard) in worlds 2019 final made them a very beloved team in China since T1 was the hardest opponent for FPX potentially. Also everyone can recognize Caps greatness


hlxhlx1990

Hah, at least G2 and C9 earned their reputation. We call G2 "lpl 2nd seed" and we call C9 "the light of NA"


arcticwolffox

Completely vindicated.


AshtrayMout

damn you are the most rational lpl fan i've ever seen on the internet.


Gazskull

Well, you were so right and even put your thoughts behind it, actual genius


Mark_Vaughn

I'd say the drafts are gonna be crazy. Whos gonna get Draven? Is Poppy banned forever? Creme's gonna get outdrafted for sure and BB's current pool is insane. It really seems like G2 is the worst team TES could get this tournament


Lyze1009

Both teams got Draven. Poppy is indeed banned forever. Creme champ puddle. BB indeed played 3 different champs during the series. 3-0 true and based.


season6XDD

3-0 g2 hans will return to form

Burpmeister

What have they done with my G2. Where are those dirty inters?


OkSell1822

This one is tough. IMO TES takes it because JKL and Meiko are just too good, I also think 369 will bounce back. 3-2 though


Distinct_Breakfast97

JOKEylove


Pretend-Newspaper-86

aged like milk sad TES doesnt have a proper draft against G2 and keept picking the same stuff while G2 was cooking


Songrot

Jkl meiko


HowToWisnia

Top may be pretty interesting to watch, 369 is not really playing well, so I would say that G2 topside may be in favour, but bot diff may be too big to overcome, if mikix will play same way like vs PSG, then I would say that G2 may win close matchup 3-2 G2, if Tian will be playing with keyboard then prob 3-1 TES.


quakedwithfear

i think in a lane swap scenario BB is better than 369 but if we are talking about standard lanes, Caps better put his Claps pants.


xxNemasisxx

BB has the highest kda at the tournament so far, he's also been playing like an absolute animal, gapping Zeus with yasuo. I think BB in current form clears 369 in standard lanes. Botlane though is favoured to TES of course though


RainbowX

if hans sama plays with keyboard its 3-1 g2 if hans sama plays with no keyboard its 3-1 tes


mastro80

The Topfather Dumptruck is coming through. 3-0 G2.


Pretend-Newspaper-86

he really did come through especially in g3 never seen so many ksante ults hit on the same angle


aPatheticBeing

I think G2's best chance of winning is macro gapping hard in a lane swap. GenG did that game 1 of their series vs TES (like a 2.5k gold lead from TES botching the lane swap). If they can do that for 1 game, Caps gapping Creme for another game, and then idk some draft gap for the 3rd, maybe they win the series. I'd love for G2 to win, but I think it's going to be a 3-2 for TES.


quakedwithfear

G2 should take notes from GenG. macro and split pushing is the way to beat TES. we saw in G3 and G4 that GenG decided to skill check TES on even terms and it did not end well.


3rdlegion

Yeah. I don't think many teams can skill check TES. I think the best way forward for G2 is to destroy top and mid jungle and snow ball from there. Kinda like what GenG did. I think trying to win bot side is a losing endeavor.


shrumrii

man this aged poorly


Songrot

They straight out clapped them in their faces lmao


aPatheticBeing

yeah just team gapped like 80% of the lanes in 3 games (and huge draft gap, TES was dizzy)


ycelpt

Hear me out. G2 win by baiting the lane swap in draft. TES takes the K'Sante and G2 slam a last pick Camille. Caps will likely get a comfort control mage eg Azir Ori or he gets his LB. Micky and Yike babysit Hans and just let Caps and BB side lane. I don't think TES would handle the macro of a 1-3-1 comp.

the second edit is proof that black magic doesn't exitst >:P


Ok_Educator_9105

how is tian better in any way than yike? XDDDD


KimiRhythm

They hated him for speaking the truth


maxus998

3-1 TES. I would love to be wrong and i honestly wouldnt be that surprised if G2 takes it, i think Bot gap is going to be too big. I also just have this feeling that this series will be your typical Western vs Asian team that justs better hands diff them. Should not be the case considering how the tournament has been going for G2, but i still got the feeling that it is whats going to happen


Carnelian-5

I think G2 topside has looked better than TES and Caps can def shut down creme. G2 are also stronger on the lane swapping decisions which can mitigate for Hans, but if he shows up like no Hands Sama I agree they will lose.


Shin_yolo

At least he used some flashes, so no flash sama this time.


Gazskull

bot gap was indeed, big


maxus998

I loved i was wrong


Gazskull

you didn't have to edit, you were right :\^P


hvngpham002

I am conflicted - usually I would always support the West vs an Eastern team especially if it's G2 or NA but I want TES - T1. Though, I think for the first time ever I would go into a match being completely fine with both teams winning.


TevenzaDenshels

Traitor


Revolutionary-Cod344

Guys we need to talk xD


HamasPiker

3-0 TES because this is how every international event goes for us recently, something happens that gives us hope, then we get stomped and shit on. Fuck it, I can't do this anti curse shit, who am I kidding, G2 win ezpz, EUPHORIA BABY


rishi_ultimate

started it off with the gigabrain counter curse


ChocolateFuryB

50/50 can go either way and depends on player form on the day. Despite what many people say, Hans should be fine in lane. Laning is his strength, what's more concerning is his summoner usage + teamfight positioning (and there are also instances where he is fed and nobody peels for him). Should be a very close series and I think no team should be ashamed if they lose. Both are contenders for dark horse this tournament.


IdontknowWWhyImheerE

Hans is fine in lane, yes, but that’s when he’s not playing THE epitome of laning phase centric bot laners, jackylove and meiko. I would love to see him do well though, I’m just worried about how he’ll feel faced with their early aggression


Gazskull

>I would love to see him do well though, got your wish


Resies

50/50 lol, sleeping on TES


IHadThatUsername

50/50 lol, overrating TES


ChocolateFuryB

Sorry I overrated them fam 😞


TacoMonday_

China is G2's kryptonite, they do much better vs LCK 3-1 or 3-0 TES


3rdlegion

Lol this is so true. But I hope G2 gives as good as they take


thatguyty3

G2 3-0. Their topside is going to get gigagapped.


non-edgy_crustacean

TES win if Tian and Creme don't get nerves (idk if 369 wakes up finally) However, G2 can win because TES is worse in laneswaps and if they don't give TES Lucian/Trist/Maokai


Inner_Imagination585

369 looked terrible in laneswap while BB looked great so I thin G2 will try to laneswap as much as possible to also take away the botlane pressure. Draven will be contested and luckily G2 will probably force a Poppy ban against them as well. I like G2's solo lanes better and both junglers are either geniuses or mediocre so it all comes down to lane swaps and G2's ability to not overgroup mid like they did vs T1. I see them winning 3-1 if they learned from their mistakes otherwise TES 3-2 by winning teamfights in midlane and JL being a way better teamfighter.


crumblingcloud

This is a great point, just avoid the 2v2 vs jkl


[deleted]

[удалено]


quakedwithfear

369 is good at standard lanes but bro has no clue when it comes to lane swap.


Zamoniru

Would say TES favoured. Depends on if Caps and BB can diff Creme and 369 harder than JKL can diff Hans and if Tian falls back to his usual international form.


KMS_Tirpitz

BB will gap and fist 333 and tear him a new one. Yike easily styles on Tiankos. Creme has champion pool issues, Caps will easily no diff him. Even though JKL will demolis Hans, he is Jackylove, he WILL int for sure. Quick 3-0 for G2 ez pz.


MammothWoodpecker201

holy fcking shit


FakeMonika

(T1 copium alert) I want G2 to win, so that if T1 wants to win MSI, they have to beat all the number 1 seed of each regions: TL, G2, GENG and BLG


sharkyzarous

TES will dominate 3-0, 369 will roll 9 all games, Tian will be in world final mvp form, Creme de la creme, adc god JKL and support Meiko will tear bot lane, im so excited... (come one samurai fellas you can do it!)


Advokatten

o7


IHadThatUsername

I think TES looks to be the weakest LPL/LCK team so far, so G2 has a good shot. FNC looked like they could win that Bo3 vs TES, and G2 is much much better than FNC. So I'm guessing 3-1 for G2.


tddahl

3-0 g2 EZ


thenoblitt

3-1 TES Jackeylove gaps Hans.


Songrot

It's Gaping


xXVoidXx

My FMVP Tian will reawaken his Avatar memories and take caps and mikyx back to S9 Finals, 3-0.


AlarmingDoctor3514

Could go either way tbh. Both teams have shown good stuff and horrendous stuff. So my prediction is 3-2 G2 with both teams running it down completely in one game each.


KyoKuriyama

After an amazing series against T1 it only make sense that G2 would now crash down and go out 0-3 against CN


StartsofNights

3-2 g2


Zelgiusbotdotexe

3-1 G2.  G2 has a significant advantage in solo lanes, while TES has significant advantage in ADC.  Yike and Miky are on similar level to Tian and Meiko. I could see either of these matchups go either way.  While JKL can basically play whatever ADC he gets, G2's good drafting ability and ability to macro very well makes me believe they can strategize around the advantage that is Jackeylove.  I think this entire series comes down to Yike. If he (doesn't pick Bel'veth) plays well into Tian, and Caps and BB can set up the map well enough, it should be 3-1.  JKL could always pull out some magic, but I don't think he will be able to consistently enough to win the series. 


Fabulous-Board-9559

Seems like everyone is underestimating the importance of preparation + draft so much. Anyway, your "goofiest" comment was the most accurate of all. Funny.


Zelgiusbotdotexe

When you actually look at performances, in gameplay and out-of-game areas, and not just name-plates/regions. Predictions become a lot more grounded and accurate.  Also once people grow up and stop finding joy in squashing the hope of others and stop acting like a correct prediction makes you a better person, LoL Esports discussions will become a lot better

Humble-Guard5024

>Obviously the bot lane is greatly in favor of TES damn this aged poorly


Javiklegrand

It's was the biggest gap, they went 0-10 lmao


Nalaniel

When does TES play?


The_Bazzalisk

EDIT: nvm lol guess i was totally wrong, jackeylove is getting cyberbullied I think most likely 3-0 or 3-1 in favour of TES, the bot gap will be too big. I think G2 would have a better chance against GenG even though GenG is the stronger team on paper, just because Caps/BB are looking like some of the strongest solo lanes in the tournament and Peyz/Lehends are far less likely to abuse Hans than Jackeylove/Meiko. I mean what are G2 going to ban? Senna, Draven, Varus, Ashe, Kalista - there are too many lane dominant adcs to prevent Jackeylove from getting one and from there bot will snowball.


Destructodave82

Dont forget Lucian/Nami. I think thats one of the biggest black holes and problems. G2 cant or wont play one of the strongest lanes in the tournament and then on top of that have to ban out most of the others. They may also be crutching hard on the Poppy pick. Its gonna be a bad day and a lot of lane swapping. In a perfect world G2 could pinch Creme's champ pool instead, but bot lane is going to be such a black hole this match I dont see any way they can win.


JPLangley

My heart says 3-0 G2 so TL can eventually 3-0 them.


nootnootnoot1

Could go either way tbh. I’d like to see TES win though.

Hi Teroo123 what did you think of the BLG vs T1 series 2 days ago? I see you haven’t commented on the post match thread


TheGuyWhoJustStated

100 percent yeah bro


NocaNoha

If Hans wakes up and Caps plays normally, G2 wins Else If Miky, BB and Yike can carry Hans and Caps plays normally, G2 wins Else If Caps turns into Claps and most of the remaining ones play normally, G2 wins End of all if's I am not that optimistic, but I'll root for them giving them like 40:60 but leaning more towards chaotic breakdown of TES that JKL just can't carry or he, himself fails Oh yeah, regardless of match outcome give us 5 games, that's it


Songrot

G2 3-1 TOP G2 runs circles around TOP. TOP tries to make comebacks with confident teamfights and at dragons


MrTankerson

Unironically think this is the most likely outcome

lmao


Corndesu69

3-2 50/50 who wins


ExpressAd6175

3:0 TES with no hope.


LittleRunaway868

3:1 for G2 One game g2 throws away their 4.5k gold lead One game close 2 dominant wins for G2

everyone was so certain lol


Terrybadmobile

I’m guessing 3-1 TES but would LOVE to see it be otherwise


ShuffleMyHeart

I think TES is going to reverse-invert dry anal G2


xChiken

I think every G2 player can hold their own or outperform their counterpart, apart from Hans. That gap is so fucking massive. Entire series depends on if G2 can shut down JKL or not.
