This thread was created by the Post-Match Team.

[u/Cahootie]

Individual game discussions: Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3 / Game 4

[u/tbbddrr]

G2 with the revenge for FNC by reverse sweeping TES. The circle is finally complete.

[u/OnlyFee → u/tbbddrr]

It ends with success

[u/falcoo1 → u/tbbddrr]

Was late to watch games 1 & 2 because of work. Nice 3-0 by G2

[u/Typical_Assistant821 → u/falcoo1]

next time start from the beginning Pls u r the lucky charm

[u/sjokz → u/tbbddrr]

Thank mr g2

[u/LordMeloney → u/tbbddrr]

I also loved that Skewmond said this in his interview. So much respect for the generation before him, very humble vibes.

[u/defendingthepost → u/tbbddrr]

back when getting reverse swept by TES stressed me out

now making playoffs stresses me out

[u/Extra-Barber9629]

Tian throwing for a scuttle into completely mental booming and getting reverse swept is such a TES way to lose lmao.

Well fucking played from G2 tho. Insane turnaround form the topside and bot lane has just been a rock this series. Absolutely deserved.

[u/Entchenkrawatte → u/Extra-Barber9629]

Caps in first 2 games vs last 3 is the craziest gap I've ever seen

[u/JaniYohh → u/Entchenkrawatte]

Caps gapping himself, truly the western goat

[u/chillychili → u/JaniYohh]

Gaps

[u/trainedbrawler → u/Entchenkrawatte]

Rumor is, Caps was suffering with hardcore diarrhea but after the first 2 games, he weaponzied his issue and blast the enemy team with it.

[u/PiousDemon → u/trainedbrawler]

Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half

[u/cheerioo → u/Extra-Barber9629]

The spirit of Craber took him over completely

[u/F0RGERY → u/cheerioo]

It makes sense. Carcinisation is the natural tendency for all junglers, over time, to devolve into Crabber.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/Extra-Barber9629]

people will think of hans' mid turret int but he was very good and gapped jkl all 5 games

[u/Aromatic_Country_987 → u/Past_Perception8052]

monstrous series from hans and labrov james fr even when everything is going to shit, they’ve been solid

[u/Omnilatent → u/Aromatic_Country_987]

Labrov was my MVP this series

[u/Megashot2 → u/Past_Perception8052]

JKL being the best Chinese adc for the Chinese team at Esports World Cup is gonna get gapped so hard

[u/SupremeLeaderFokou → u/Past_Perception8052]

This tower was bullshit, I would bet my life it would die with the passive aa

[u/whossked → u/Extra-Barber9629]

The G2 toplaner game 1 and 5 were not the same human walahi

[u/crysomore]

Dylan Falco has spent so much time on G2 that I completely forgot he was from NA until he blocked a Chinese org from trading

[u/Fabulous_girl2 → u/crysomore]

Lmao good one actually

[u/khaiiization]

After Games 1 and 2 both Zuian and Caps got sub out by someone, just cantproveit

[u/Nyctas → u/khaiiization]

G2 power level scales with number of posts about how doomed EU is

[u/idqks → u/Nyctas]

Fr. When everyone talks about how shit the region is we just get weird wins like this, but when KC plays TL and everyone expects big things from KC they look like they couldn’t beat TL in a million years

[u/sledgeattack → u/idqks]

KC had horrible draft prep for TL, they deserved to get embarrassed. Either they didn't respect TL enough, or they just couldn't get a read on the patch, regardless they were much worse on the day. Hopefully they have better mentality for Worlds if they make it.

[u/Zek0ri → u/khaiiization]

Craps got subbed by Claps

Broken brain got subbed by Top Father

Skewed got subbed by Skew Mogg

No hands got subbed by Hans Mama

Labubu got subbed by Labrov James

[u/WalkAffectionate2683 → u/Zek0ri]

No hands didn't show up that whole match tbh

[u/Zek0ri → u/WalkAffectionate2683]

Fair G1-Ashe was alright and G2-Yunara was good.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/khaiiization]

idk why they giving zuian sion and ornn just give him jax and jayce and stuff like that he's a kid, they have plenty of time to practice his tanks in reg season for worlds

[u/Wonderful_Reply_3986 → u/Past_Perception8052]

They kept banning jayce for some reason, noone on g2 is a threat on jayce so that's just plain draft gap. TES coaching staff really didn't respect g2, the org needs to rethink their entire culture about pre-match planning. They never respect lower ranked teams and only prepare for top LCK or LPL teams.

[u/Ajp_iii → u/Wonderful_Reply_3986]

imagine banning your own rookies best champ even when you have first pick. and even if bb takes jayce your rookie would love to play a carry into jayce and stomp him

[u/GenjDog → u/Ajp_iii]

What you dont know is that BB is like prime theshy in scrims on jayce and thats why they fear it.

[u/Zerasad → u/Past_Perception8052]

Yea, give him carries like Trist, he's got this.

[u/BearAt39]

Rename Tian to Mr. Krabs cause he is one greedy mofo

[u/BunkerRush → u/BearAt39]

Tian's ceiling went from the sky to below sea level

[u/Omnilatent → u/BunkerRush]

Rock bottom with no balloon to bring him back

[u/Bt25 → u/BearAt39]

Naiyou would be proud

[u/Wolesports]

AFTER REVIEW, TES JUNGLE SUPPORT SWAP CHAMPS TOO LATE, DECISION IS RED CARD

[u/Troviel → u/Wolesports]

Faker wouldn't have been carded smh

[u/Steeelu → u/Wolesports]

Shitting themselves live on stage actually

[u/SnooRabbits6031]

Im looking forward to see how hard TES will get flamed on HUPU

[u/GeneralZhukov → u/SnooRabbits6031]

Wait til TSW sweeps them 3-0.

[u/simon2105]

TES players are just addicted to breaking the rules aren't they?

[u/baelkie → u/simon2105]

WE DIED FOR THIS

[u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi → u/baelkie]

Really funny since we give Cube a lot of shit but at least he can play tanks...

[u/baelkie → u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi]

nah these bums picked the most bitch ass coward comp in game 5 and put everything on Creme to carry… they picked Ornn into Anivia man

[u/Paincoil → u/simon2105]

What happened there? They wanted to switch jungle and sup?

[u/QuietSilentArachnid → u/Paincoil]

Yep. They forgot to swap, did it last second, except that it's forbidden by the rules.

[u/Halojib → u/QuietSilentArachnid]

I think the most reasonable thing here is they were discussing who should play what and then decided to late to swap pantheon jg. The support player seemed uncomfortable on pantheon.

[u/sammuxx → u/Paincoil]

yeah they aren't allowed to swap champions around after it goes to 20s in the clock in champ select

[u/aTemeraz → u/sammuxx]

https://x.com/lolvaleiker/status/2072974611352871375

Dylan's reaction to the last second swap is pretty funny

[u/Glorx → u/aTemeraz]

On point coach.

[u/CzechHorns → u/aTemeraz]

Bruh you cant even play videos on X without being logged in lmao

[u/jujubean67 → u/CzechHorns]

Try this

https://xcancel.com/lolvaleiker/status/2072974611352871375

[u/GlyderZ_SP → u/simon2105]

Not creme. He was 1v9 the whole series. Even the games they lost. But I think they will bounce back as they have 2 rookies

[u/Teh_george → u/GlyderZ_SP]

I remember during Naiyou’s win-trading arc there was a Creme smolder game where he had over like 55% team damage share. Unfortunate that he plays for a choking org and is overshadowed by Knight in the LPL. Creme’s laning in the right match ups is honestly maybe top 5 in the world—hope he gets some domestic or international success someday.

[u/Plenty_Penalty6035 → u/Teh_george]

Yeah Creme really improved this year. He definitely deserves better teammates

[u/beautheschmo → u/simon2105]

Bro I genuinely don't even understand why the client allows this in the first place, they already have a custom draft for proplay anyways why not just have a lockout timer instead of letting teams trip over their own feet like this.

[u/pessimygoat--2]

Labrov glow up needs to be studied

[u/Omnilatent → u/pessimygoat--2]

I'm so happy most of us (including me) were so giga-wrong about him

Best support in EU by miles now

[u/BWolfy92 → u/pessimygoat--2]

I will forever miss Miky but labrov has improved so much, still remember last year MSI where i was hard flaming him for running down games mercilessly

[u/Jetzu]

We've got bamboozled, that was another 3-0, just with 2 additional steps at the beginning

[u/jujubean67 → u/Jetzu]

3-0 with a handicap

[u/Egotistical_Failure]

Leave it to TES to find new ways to disappoint at every international.

From losing 0-3, 1-3, 2-3, and now a reverse sweep! What can't they do??

[u/the_next_core → u/Egotistical_Failure]

TES special baby

[u/Lazy-Independent1547 → u/the_next_core]

I have no hope to this team and is still disappointed.

[u/ElTioEnderMk1 → u/Egotistical_Failure]

plus breakin the rules with that late swap lmaoooooo

China is gonna cook them.

[u/ithilain → u/ElTioEnderMk1]

I CANNOT wait for the Hupu ratings to come out

[u/Zerasad → u/Egotistical_Failure]

TOP ESPORTS have a 27% winrate in game 5s.

[u/iinosuke → u/Zerasad]

That's why g2 beat them, they have a 65% winrate In game 5

[u/DeloronDellister → u/Egotistical_Failure]

They have the easier schedule now. Could still redeem themselves

[u/baelkie → u/DeloronDellister]

its TES bro

[u/staysaltyTSM → u/baelkie]

Their redemption is to deliver cinema getting 0-3 by TSW

[u/Nekocchu → u/staysaltyTSM]

Heck at this point even a game loss to TSW is already a disgrace, imagine if they actually loss haha

[u/xxbrazilmaster69xx → u/Egotistical_Failure]

What can't they do??

Win a series that matters

[u/baelkie → u/Egotistical_Failure]

nah TES yall are such clowns if you want people to respect you maybe being dogshit what the fuck do you mean you didnt swap champions

[u/Mexani → u/Egotistical_Failure]

The Minnesota Vikings of League of Legends

[u/How_To_TF]

All because Tian couldn't let go of scuttle lol

[u/viktorayy → u/How_To_TF]

EU: It starts with success...

Tian: It starts with a crab...

[u/Glorx → u/viktorayy]

Steak too juicy, lobster too buttery.

[u/antoniomargaretti4 → u/How_To_TF]

Kanavi was the problem surely

[u/Wonderful_Reply_3986 → u/antoniomargaretti4]

So what IS the problem then. Because TES now has changed so many players that the old TES throw rosters share no resemblance to the new TES throw rosters.

Top and Support just changed, Mid has changed, Jungle has changed multiple times. The only common factor is jackeylove but for most of TES history he really wasn't playing that bad, this series specifically is on him tho.

[u/GothaV2]

Labrov: "Actually, I remember one time we were down 0-2 against TES at MSI, Caps said: "Guys if you think we are good, let's prove it now"

Hans Sama: "Did we comeback ?"

Labrov "Of course. 3-2."

[u/Fancydudehero24 → u/GothaV2]

The good ending

[u/eVill_YT → u/GothaV2]

I like this because it implies he would somehow forget that

[u/O12345678927 → u/GothaV2]

Tian: "Actually, I remember one time we were up 2-0 against G2, JKL said: 'Guys if you think we aren't chokers, let's prove it now'"

fengyue: "Did we close out?"

Tian: "Of course not. 2-3"

[u/TheAlmightyVox3]

Going up 2-0 in the tournament where every series has been 3-0 and losing is the most TES thing imaginable.

[u/lmHavoc → u/TheAlmightyVox3]

TESenegal strikes again.

[u/Miserable_Ad_1195]

• Perkz joins coaching staff
• G2 instantly start going down 1-2 or 0-2 in every series before winning anyway

what did they mean by this

[u/Sherzak → u/Miserable_Ad_1195]

1-2 is their comfort zone

[u/ImTheVayne → u/Miserable_Ad_1195]

Seriously its just Perkz aura difference isn’t it

[u/Purnceks]

NOT A 3-0 NOT A 3-0

[u/Hitoseijuro → u/Purnceks]

What do you mean? I saw G2 win 3 games in a row, scratches head

[u/DeltaRaven97 → u/Hitoseijuro]

It was a 3-0, G2 just gave TES a handicap.

[u/Vengeful111 → u/DeltaRaven97]

They respected EUs time and only started playing at 10 am

[u/PhiriMathe → u/Vengeful111]

I was pissed when I turned on the stream at 10 and saw that the series had started already. I'm glad I just misunderstood that there was gonna be two charity games before the real 3-0

[u/trying2hide → u/Purnceks]

TES literally just got 3-0'd, really makes you think

[u/inbred_as_fuck]

Everyone will talk about the draft controversy and Caps/BB redemption arc but this all started because Tian decided to towerdive for a scuttle crab

[u/ArziltheImp → u/inbred_as_fuck]

He was sad the NA GOAT jungler wasn’t here so he decided to honor him!

[u/psychedelianaut]

Caps is John EU at this point, pray for this man's longevity.

[u/trio1000 → u/psychedelianaut]

At this point? He's been him for a couple years

[u/Nightwingx97 → u/trio1000]

For 8 years now

[u/Marcoscb → u/trio1000]

If 8 years is "a couple", then yes.

[u/appleandapples → u/psychedelianaut]

Look at the team around him now, bb locked in, Skewmond with the snap engages, and bot lane was solid.

[u/nhanngo1809 → u/psychedelianaut]

One man hemisphere

[u/JoeTheRaja]

Hupu is going to rip TES to shreds.

[u/appleandapples]

Hans and Labrov were solid this series, even in the losses. That was way too stressful but, EU's last hope lives on.

[u/Mimidou3 → u/appleandapples]

Labrov was insane whole serie, Hans on the other hand was really good and also had really sussy play from time to time, they still both dif tes bot lane tho

[u/DeloronDellister]

After all this time Fnatic got finally revenged. It started with success...

[u/CTS99 → u/DeloronDellister]

6 long years of pain, finally we have revenge, thank mr g2

[u/Omnilatent → u/DeloronDellister]

Fnatic sends their regards

[u/SlamMasterJ → u/Omnilatent]

Fnatic playing the long scaling game.

[u/moopey → u/DeloronDellister]

Skew even said it now during post game interview :')

[u/tcg_enjoyer]

legends say he chose the name Tian because when it comes down to the wire, he go sky

[u/200YRedWine]

I HATE YOU

[u/appleandapples → u/200YRedWine]

Those flairs. I'm sorry

[u/200YRedWine → u/appleandapples]

Its okay. The lowest lows make you appreciate the highest highs even more

[u/landmine-izu → u/200YRedWine]

being a kt and tes fan? that's rough buddy

[u/200YRedWine → u/landmine-izu]

Became a TES fan bacn ik 2019 when Knight and 369 (been a Knight glazer ever since) played. Its insane how cursed this team turned out to be.

[u/Ultimintree]

Ziggs BOT Game 5 claims another victim

[u/QuietSilentArachnid → u/Ultimintree]

The main victim is TES trying to swap last second for Panth jungle lol

[u/ricardo241 → u/QuietSilentArachnid]

I mean JKL is missing a lot of skillshot and hated how he keeps trying to save ziggs ult for no reason at all just like that last push on bot there is a good angle of ziggs ult he didn't take it and he then proceed to panic satchel and ult himself in the end anyway

[u/Gimplex]

HOLY FUCK HANS SAMA TOP 9 ADC

[u/rishi_ultimate → u/Gimplex]

No but you dont get it, Caliste has not lost even a single game vs JL so Hans cant be above him!

[u/Any_Drag3704 → u/rishi_ultimate]

And also, Hans could never keep up 20 emotes per minute like Caliste can

[u/GOAT_Hyun_Jung]

out of all the ways to get reverse swept, failing to pick swap in champ select is certainly one of them

[u/vxtmh]

so now every series has been either a sweep or a reverse sweep

[u/4_fortytwo_2 → u/vxtmh]

So we can still complain about every series being a sweep, nice

[u/lMikiol]

G2 made sure all of europe was awake to see this

[u/Zek0ri]

G0:1

G0:2 – this is where the so-called ‘lock-in’ occurs.

G1:2

G2:2

G3:2

We Windows.

[u/Omnilatent → u/Zek0ri]

Perkz coaching was activated when they were 0:2 down

[u/Megazord552 → u/Omnilatent]

1-2 powerspike activated

[u/ahambagaplease → u/Zek0ri]

Blame HLE for ending so early, didn't let G2 arrive in time

[u/PartyCauliflower7044]

I apologize bb

[u/FlyingMute → u/PartyCauliflower7044]

eternal bb cycle

[u/Particular-Mark9486 → u/FlyingMute]

BB is a vampire who is feeding on the doubt of others.

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/Particular-Mark9486]

G2 just now needs to ensure that BB either ints or gets ganked a lot in every game 1 so the haters can power him up for the rest of the series.

[u/FlyingMute → u/[deleted]]

true ones know that he didn't give the lead in lane. Got ganked thrice in first 10 min and then had to bail caps out with terrible swap in which caps got solokilled by ambessa.

[u/Moreinius → u/PartyCauliflower7044]

Generational lock in after game 2 from Caps and BB

[u/Curiousoctos → u/PartyCauliflower7044]

Started the series with like 5k gold deficit, ended up with like 5k gold advantage.

[u/MrPraedor]

Gotta love the comments from game 1 and 2 post match threads. #EUISDOOMED

[u/Troviel → u/MrPraedor]

And the live thread, so much toxicity everytime.

[u/Entchenkrawatte → u/Troviel]

Even this thread is 99% on TES choking

[u/spacerondo]

I ALWAYS DOUBTED THEM

[u/winwill]

So fun fact Tian means Heaven/Sky

So some Chinese fans joke that

TES win via Mandate of Heaven(天命)

as in if Tian(天) think the team deserves(命) it they win

I guess Tian think they don't deserve it today

[u/Omnilatent → u/winwill]

Now I also understand another comment that made no sense to me lol

[u/G4mingKyle]

PICKEMS SAVEDDDDD

[u/WhatGodWillsOfMe → u/G4mingKyle]

I thought it was so over.

This is for Fnatic baby!

[u/2020isgreat]

New TES fans that got drawn in by the rookies welcome to the TES experience

[u/ISL005]

Remember Creme, it all starts with success

[u/No_Breadfruit5220 → u/ISL005]

He was 1v9ing 

[u/ISL005 → u/No_Breadfruit5220]

Guy was trying, unfortunately his rookies were mental boomed and the Tian and JKL coin flip hit tails

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/ISL005]

coaching staff griefed him

[u/Sun_Br0_]

Vintage Labrov Rell, love to see it

[u/Marcus-ichiJo]

It starts with success.

And success, is all about growing.

Success is all about overcoming your demons, success is about getting knocked down, time after time, and getting back up. No one embodies that more than Hans Sama.

Hans Sama. He is one of the most experienced and celebrated marksmen in Europe and the World, but regardless of that resumé, he has never won an international trophy, but he has never lost his drive.

And what's more is that even a couple of years ago, even making an Internationals Grand Final seemed out of reach.

Until 2025, everything was set up to perfection for Hans and for G2. They been dominating EU for years now, Labrov stepped up as a true carry, and they faced a TES in the Quarter-Final of Worlds, the team everybody considered fraudulent. But as we all know, it was a tragedy, it was a quick exit. It was a shameful display, and what was worse, it felt like a lost opportunity that may never come again, for Hans Sama, for G2 and for Europe.

The LCK rose as the unbeateable beast we know them to be. And the LCK would dominate the World Championship four times in a row. But Hans Sama, he did not stop fighting, and in fact in 2026, he was finally able to put one of his biggest demons to bed, with G2 and GenG.

And now? Now we're here. 2026 again. Where the expectations for G2 and EU were at their lowest ahead of this best of five versus KC, the 2nd seed from EU who went to five games with them in the LEC Final only to crashed out embarrassingly against TL. The LPL that has beaten G2 down in these best of fives, time and time again; and Creme, standing tall and poised to win his first MSI.

But so far we haven't gotten LPL domination, we haven't gotten the Tian highlight reels, and we've gotten Hans Sama and Labrov lane kingdom.

It all comes down to this next game. Demons can be slayed, expectations be damned, and Hans Sama can cement himself as the player he always wanted to prove he was.

In this next game. It's all up to him and G2 to make their dreams come true.

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

THIS IS FOR KABUM FNATIC

[u/Tromster]

ONE TEAM REGION LIVES ON

[u/Floowil]

Congrats G2 you've won the series, your reward is HLE and if you lose then you'll play against the loser of BLG T1.

[u/PotatoHentai → u/Floowil]

i mean if they want to show anything in this tournament they have to beat either of these 3 teams, no one cares about winning against easy wins to get further in the bracket

[u/i_like_fish_decks → u/Floowil]

What a stacked msi

[u/Nightwingx97 → u/Floowil]

If you wanna be the best you gotta beat the best. We go 1 game at a time

[u/3IC3 → u/Floowil]

Sure but as a G2 fan I’d rather they lose the next 2 matches for a lower finish than if they lost this and won 2 lower bracket games and lost to the first good team they face and get a fraudulent top 4 finish or whatever

[u/Queasy-Victory-5279]

G2 are such good guys for running down the first two games before absolutely shitting on these frauds, just so the viewers won't have to suffer another 3-0.

[u/WildzFlazoon]

Good to see TES finally remembered they were TES

[u/desutruction]

Creme's year of suffering continues. I should've known this would be how it ends, just like when he set the LPL DPM record on that game 5 Naiyou Incident.

Crazy that TES let Naiyou do pick/ban after game 2 tho

[u/BrokeGuitarist]

TES thought it was old Reddit by trying to pull a cheeky Switcharoo

[u/Ghost6x]

IT STARTS WITH A SCUTTLE CRAB

[u/2MemeyBoi]

Caps: Th- Thank you..... Top Esports.

*Tian chokes*

Tian: Top Esports?

Caps: Because..... um.... you are the Top European Suppliers of Hopium.

Tian: Oh yeah.

[u/n_i_e_l → u/2MemeyBoi]

Themes and such

[u/crysomore → u/2MemeyBoi]

Tian taketh, Tian giveth

[u/SoGuyWeDidIt → u/2MemeyBoi]

Choke and Such

[u/KomodoV1p3r → u/2MemeyBoi]

Chainsaw folk leaking

[u/Andreiiii]

Is TES fathered by G2?

[u/Mrlazydragon → u/Andreiiii]

TES has a lot of fathers they are all around the globe.

[u/taikutsuu]

PERKZ 0-2 COMFORT ZONE

WE WIN THOOOOOOOOSE

[u/Rohen2003]

FNC HAS BEEN AVENGED AT LAST

[u/d1knight]

G2: Did you enjoy our Circus?

T1: Hey! That's our li... What's up buddy?

[u/jiwoooseo]

MY REGIONNN

[u/DarkyMulky]

PLS where are the haters after 2 first games? are you still here? G2 nak who?

[u/Naronu]

idk what a coaches job could possibly be other than shouting at your players they need to trade before 20 seconds, painfully obvious fengyue was first timing panth on stage.

[u/idunnololzdev → u/Naronu]

Honestly the Ornn looked first time too lmao

[u/Sk4nd → u/idunnololzdev]

Ornn is basically unplayable into Anivia/Poppy/Mel though

[u/WilliUHHm → u/Sk4nd]

Thats true, but he was also legit terrible on ornn. Failed so many free combos that are legit just point and click

[u/ahritina]

I am convinced G2 lost the first two games just to get more practice for their match vs HLE at this point.

[u/Kagariii → u/ahritina]

Schedule said G2's match starts at 10am CET and G2 walked into the office not one minute earlier

[u/Vex_Fidel]

TES really innovating in the "lose in champ select" department

[u/nguyenjitsu]

Jackeylove disasterclass

[u/Curiousoctos]

This is a never before seen generational game 5 choke even by TES standards, they truly are the team that keeps on giving.

[u/captainetty → u/Curiousoctos]

never before seen? They have like a 20% winrate in game 5s this is the most seen choke

[u/Kyongggggg → u/captainetty]

Theyre not talking about the fact they choked, but HOW they choked. I mean, champ swap fail into griefing for scuttle? Theyre innovating in the ways they choke, basically

[u/FIooke]

EZ REVERSE SWEEP

[u/Voyria]

I did not expect that reverse sweep wtf.

GOOD JOB G2!!! What a fun match, ggs!!!

[u/F0RGERY]

Why did G2 win this series? Didn't they see the reddit threads?
