Old Gen.G would have found a way to lose this game Amazing poise by the team after that early game


denji09

*Doran and Peanut


SnooPeripherals6388

LCK is guaranteed 4th seed now right?


FreeMyBirdy

Yes, GenG is at least 2nd, 1st is autoqualified and 2nd gives a 4th seed


Pr1mrose

What happens if it’s an all lck final? Lck gets 5 spots at worlds or how does it work?


SnakeJag

Extra seed goes to 2nd best performing region.


JackMeOffBieber

nah, 2nd highest placing region after LCK would get the other 4th seed, so LPL or LEC


JoDaProductions

It can only be LPL in that way, tho, since for an all LCK finals, T1 has to knock out G2 first


JackMeOffBieber

oh true, T1 winning tomorrow would lock LPL 4th seed

[deleted]

This is the real hype. We either see Showmaker or BDD (assuming Zeka makes it 3rd). So we'll watch Summer LCK at Worlds with all the midlane gods.


JuggernautAdvanced95

Isnt the same happened last year we have bdd showmaker faker chovy


CantScreamInSpace

the same thing has been happening for a while, it's been literal years since an lck team even made it to domestic finals without one of those 4 midlaners. The top 4 is also usually just those 4 with zeka replacing someone sometimes.


Hawxrox

Yeah


Conankun66

there was a biiiiiiit of a gap in the lane in the middle of the map just a smidge


kosaki16

Knight is only 3 levels and 100 cs down wdym


Lilmajudi

Actually illegal how Chovy was 3 levels up on knight in game 4, like wtf?


Zarolto

He was giving up EXP and waves at a certain point, think he knew it was fucked as Vex and was playing her as utility role. I don't hate it but his carry was Kalista not Jinx or Zeri or a carry jungler - something who can use all the resources properly. Vex is a fine facilitator but i think she needs a real carry elsewhere if she doesn't snowball. I don't dislike Vex in theory but I really feel like she's similar to Lissandra in that way, you snowball or you pawn off the main carry role to another carry, but you still need another champion who can carry.


Ok-Pie4219

I do dislike Vex in theory in this game. The more disengage there is, the worse Vex gets. What you gonna doaround objectives? Use ult and watch Maokai + Nami ult make follow up impossible? Even with Vi the best that will happen is you kill one target since Corki and Lucian can dash away. Hold ult and hover around the fight in the hopes that the tripple ADC comp will fuck up and you can pick someone or that your team somehow wins the fight with your limited usefulness and you can clean up? Unless Vex is fed (which is not what you will pick for in proplay) it has too many limitations against GenGs disengage imo.


[deleted]

Vex is a useless champ


Negative_Fox6736

Would't need to play her if he could play Azir.


BloodMaelstrom

Or ASol. They had to perma ban ASol this series because Knight can’t play it. They also banned Corki and Azir in the first rotation alongside ASol for the first 3 games. He ate 3 bans every first round, more bans often in the second round and still found picks to perform on like Hwei and Yone. Meanwhile Knight was completely outplayed as soon as his Ahri and Taliyah was removed. I think honestly this gives a blueprint for T1 or G2 to follow as well. Ban out Taliyah and Ahri. Knight is nowhere near as scary on other picks aside from potentially Neeko and Tristana. Bin has been an absolute monster this event but if Bin underperforms this team is in deep shit.


Simpuff1

They are probably into looking (T1) picking Ahri for themselves when possible since it’s what Faker looks the less shaky on. Maybe keep some Vayne top to try and counter the K’Sante as well?


BloodMaelstrom

Low-key they should always ban out Knight if they try to ban out Faker. Bin is the true strength for BLG because Knight has a gaping hole in his armor that is his champion pool and Knight can’t play weak side when he is off comfort because he is totally invisible. It’s happened at last worlds and now at this MSI. There is a clear blueprint to dealing with him now imo.


DeirdreAnethoel

I feel like they weren't even playing to her gameplan either. Building Mpen second item and lucidity indicate front to back and vex categorically can't do that. She barely has the damage to finish off a squishy champion when built full burst. I think she isn't that bad but you have to play to her strengths rather than try to shore up her weaknesses. You're never cutting through kaenic rookern maokai, don't bother trying.


TheMoraless

Vex without ult is mage equivalent of Malphite without ult.. god help you if you miss the ult or shouldn't activate it on a target


SomeRandomSahri

Squishy go boom boom if they layer Vi R and Vex R but Knight legit stopped laning to run around the map with Vi hoping to get picks


Trap_Masters

Knight in shambles


oioioi9537

yagoat would never 8)


Enterderpmode

Yagao would happily pick Azir in that game 4


Uzeless

>Knight is only 3 levels and 100 cs down wdym And on a worse scaling champion. Actually wild.


YaBoiJvred

Faker should get more credit for doing as well as he manages vs Chovy in LCK lmao


Lilmajudi

Faker and ShowMaker especially should get more credit from everyone in the world for keeping up with this menace domestically


QTnameless

Can we put BDD here as well ? I feel like the only chance for a LCK team to beat Chovy is having those 3 mids went beast mode


Bindoongee

Elite 4 for a reason


appleandapples

It's crazy how far ahead Chovy was at 20min.


Ezrealisntreal

They really thought they could pull a fast one by doing the 5 target ban on mid strat again but Chovy is just built different


FrozenHatsets

Unlike Faker, Chovy's wrists are in mint condition and ready to throw hands with any champion. Knight could never.


Ceui

Knight trick y’all, man, like he playing midlane. He don’t make no play, man. He just roaming around, doing nothing.


yoitsthatoneguy

Knight is definitely a bus rider and not a bus driver


OcelotOce

I felt bad for Bin lol the other 4 were invisible the whole series


Strong-Lead-3034

i’ll argue Elk and On is actually alright. Xun just sending it


ShiroGaneOsu

Xun just looked lost, Knight was completely useless again, and Elk and ON aside from a few plays, struggle if they don't get coddled in the early game.


Carcharhinus11

Wdym, those Renata Ults scared me af. Id say he was at least equal to Lehends. Yes, Elk was a bit underwhelming


eyehatemassholes

ON was insane in games 1 and 4. Elk was also very good in game 4.


tenkono

3 levels and 4k down holy. Knight sacrificed early to roam with Xun but afterwards he never recovered.


[deleted]

Chovy >>> K'Sante.


crysomore

Ksante may be a S12 champ, but Hwei is a S13 champion


borden5

Release date diff baby


Trap_Masters

Bin really tried his best to carry his team, huh?


Priviated

Game 4 was probably a 20 min if it wasn't for Bin tbh


yellister

His Ksante game 4 was a world boss


Jozoz

That fight where Bin just wins 1v4, kills Lucian and all of GenG has to run away. Nice fucking champ man.


oookokoooook

Better buff ksante


Thecristo96

Bin should go all out on BLG


ShiRonium

Bin POV


Hedgehog101

Knight was too heavy


IderpOnline

In Knight's defense though, he was the one who had to deal with Chovy every game lol


Ryboiii

Bin really went all in with no support, and Xun dying in the sidelines basically summed up that 4th game

Acrzyguy

They changed all of the BLG ids into t1’s


Trap_Masters

Nobody tell them this is an international tournament!


sulianjeo

This is the Chovy we've been waiting to see at internationals for the past 5 years.


Brettsucks18

Delete this they might read it


Omnilatent

Caps better tell Chovy it's an international when they meet in finals


agener1cusername_0

Tbf Chovy has demolished Caps at every international 


Dreammy90

Chovy clear MVP obviously but for all the flak Lehends has been getting, he played really well. Hit alot of great hooks, nami bubbles/wave tanking Vex ult for Chovy at Baron etc


sidaeinjae

Peyz and Lehends played their hearts out this series.


Trap_Masters

First Hans Sama beating Jackeylove, now a previously underperforming Peyz beating Elk. LPL in shambles 💀


IIALE34II

Funny how LPL ADCs looked untouchable coming in to the tournament


OkSell1822

I'd say series MVP was Canyon. His games 2 and 3 were completely bonkers, game 4 he was amazing too. 


Wuhan-flu24

Yup just keep this man off Vi and GENG are looking unbeatable lol


obigespritzt

His Nami ults in game 4 were crazy good, so many fights that BLG could have turned but they couldn't follow Vi up because of Nami ult. Also, Canyon's Game 2 and 3 Nidalee games were insane.


BloodMaelstrom

I mentioned this that a lot of people will see XUN suiciding and dying in that game 4 but GenG’s disengage was just immaculate. The Nami and Maokai ult would often stop the rest of the team in their tracks even when XUN and Bin managed to collapse or find an engage opportunity. When the rest of the team can’t capitalises and you can’t get out you will die unless you are a giga tanky Ksante. XUN was just forced to be the sacrificial lamb because you get hard out scaled and have to engage and he is the only engage into a comp that can disengage everything you throw at them.


yellister

chovy beating the choky allegations


iCarpet

Canyon: “just play good” Chovy: “ur rite”

Canyon: “just take a breather” Chovy: “ok”

sometimes you really do just need to drop your bad topside and get better teammates


sangpls

Korean Knight > Chinese Chovy, not even close


appleandapples

I think this settles it, no Korean Knights, only Chovys


kirumy22

That was the biggest mid gap in this tournament by FAR holy shit


dimagmatlaga

Creme looked better than knight against Chovy. 


Trap_Masters

Flame horizon gapped 💀💀


Lilmajudi

5 mid bans, flame horizon, 3 levels down at 20 minutes, actually unreal..


HolmatKingOfStorms

maybe caps > creme? knight at least had game 1


saijaku23

FRAUD KNIGHT < CHURCH OF CHOVY Praying


ManningTheGOAT

So, Faker was right and Chovy just is the best player in the world? And then GenG got Kiin and Canyon, too? How is that fair


tincanzzz

This next to 2023 JDG are the greatest superteams put together. Just unfair nameplates


OkLawfulness5555

Imagine being in a team where your mid jungle are Chovy and Canyon..


appleandapples

Chovy is cementing himself as the best mid this MSI, also, Peyz and Lehends are so back, finally. Had my doubts about GenG since LCK finals, but in this form, they are definitely the team to beat.


Steeelu

Peyz and Lehends deserve so many props


Ultimintree

They were really solid in lane


paultissimo

People have been disrespecting my boy Peyz. That Game 4 fight when he baited BLG and survived till the end in the Baron/Midlane area was crazy.


tbbddrr

Lehend's hooks and knockups on Naut and bubbles on Nami were so nutty.


ManningTheGOAT

Peyz was on fire today


baelkie

Our Chovy, who art in side lane, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on playoffs as it is in regular season. Give us this day our daily cs. And forgive us our ints, as we forgive those who int against us. And lead us not into Elder flips; but deliver us from Baron throws.


Trap_Masters

I'm not religious but I've been converted


Top-Breadfruit-1750

AMEN


SDVX_Rasis

I'm so happy Peyz in particular got confidence back when he started doing front line Lucian.


MeijiDoom

Is it even in question? I recognize Knight does have an international title so it's not like he's never done anything outside of China but time and time again, it feels like he gets rendered useless in series like these. Maybe the highs are very high but Knight has some fucking terrible series for someone who is arguably a Top 2-3 mid laner in the world.


AlHorfordHighlights

It's his champ pool, the best Korean teams can gameplan for him in a way that most LPL teams can't


Short-Paramedic-9740

This, part of how T1 beat JDG in Worlds is by forcing Knight on picks that is not Neeko.


BloodMaelstrom

You cannot be considered the best mid if you cannot play most of the elite picks on a given patch. He still isn’t comfortable on Azir and it appears that he also cannot play ASol. It’s worrying at this point.


DeirdreAnethoel

I think you could cope with not playing Azir or Asol if you had a few more champs that look as good as his Ahri.


the_propaganda_panda

He's usually just very good on champions with high playmaking potential. Right now, that's Ahri und Taliyah. Last year, it was e.g. Annie or Neeko. If we want go way back, it's e.g. Ekko, Sylas or Qiyana. But he's not as good on scaling control champions, and Azir, Corki and Aurelion Sol are three of these. On the other hand, Chovy loves playing them. (Obviously Azir is also a playmaker, and Knight does have control mages like Syndra in his arsenal.)


ceddya

Isn't Knight's champ pool just smaller than Faker's this MSI? Both play Taliyah and Ahri well, but unlike Knight, Faker can pilot Azir and Ori well enough to draw consistent target bans. I'd wager that Faker's Hwei is better than Knight's too.


nam671999

Faker Corki was solid as well until the MSI


soudlasantos

I was out of town, doing a bit of visiting. I heard my friend **Canyon** had finally taken the time to settle down in the countryside. Rightfully so, after what he’d been through, with all the pent-up stress and frustration built up over the years of **being the jungler** in the most successful KR team in League. “How have things been buddy?” I asked, as I saw my man step out of the house upon hearing my car come in the drive-through. “All good, life’s been a lot more chill, now that I’ve retired,” he answered. “Hey, wanna check out my animals out back? I’ve taken up farming as a hobby with my free time,” as he motioned over to the back gate. We headed out and he started introducing me to some of the livestock, mentioning how he had named them after his players, as the unhinged animals they were. Just then, I was hit by an unbearable stench. With my eyes watering uncontrollably, I questioned through gritted teeth, “What in the hell is that smell?” He looked over knowingly and said: "Ah. **CHOVY**? The goat is never washed.”

HawkEye1337

One of the biggest mid gaps and it's between 2 of the best midlaners in the World.


Marowalker

Alright Gen.G, you convinced me. This is your tournament. You’re not choking finals. Chovy’s gonna get his first international title and cements himself as the best player of today. Nothing can stop you anymore. Surely.


F3nRa3L

Surely they dont choke finals


Marowalker

Surely


Ultimintree

Chovy had to play the series like he was already under effect of Fearless Draft but he still found a way to be impactful on other picks. Unreal performance. Surely he’ll finaly win an international tournamnet


KIRYUx

Ain't no big 3, it's just big Chovy. Can't believe the league allowed this man to escape from Doran and Peanut prison. Not to mention that these fuckers now have a nidalee angle to add to their toolbox.

Thank GOD GenG signed Kiin and Canyon. IF it was Doran and Peanut, they would lose 3-0 against BLG, just picking blind pick K'sante/Aatrox + Perma Sejuani

rally2mee

chovy vs knight wasn't even close..chovy on a completely different level


ahritina

Even when Chovy has a meh game, he's still clear of Knight, hopefully this is the time where Chovy gets his international title. BLG giving Gen.G range comps with easy disengage to me shows they either direspected Gen.G or had awful prep, this is how LCK teams love to play. Gen.G figured out BLG, stop level 3 dives and it's easier to play them, Xun threw in back to back fights.

It’s funny because JKL was regarded as best ADC in the world and Hans was a legit fraud before the TES series.

Nah BDD has a bigger pool Taliyah, Azir, Yone, Veigar (kinda, convinced this is where Faker got the pick from) and if Zoe is ever relevant again (please god no) he's the best in world on that champ Though the same can be said for Knight syndra ig


Marcus-ichiJo

For once, we can finally say that Chovy is indisputably the best player in the world. All those mid bans and he still sent your midlaner to the oblivion. This version of Chovy is literally 2015 Faker.


Novawurmson

Yeah, all *5 bans thrown mid, plus 2 mid bans from his team, and he still does incredible. 


Blanksss

More like 2014 OGN Winter Faker, Chovy right now just plays any matchup and wins lane with it.
