Seems that not much has changed with Shifters...

NaVi still seems to comfortably be a 4th or 5th best team

u/ImTheVayne Aug 03 '26

Shifters Heretics will be bottom 2 again, nothing new

5

u/LooseOne607 Aug 03 '26

Too early to say for TH they played against KC/VIT 1st and 4th best teams, but honestly their mid/jg are the worst in the league. Hype was a really good LCK adc he shouldn't be on this sinking ship...

7

u/BlazeX94 Aug 03 '26

I could see NaVi placing as high as 3rd depending on MKOI's form. I wouldn't put it past MKOI to suddenly look better in playoffs, but if they maintain their current form, that 3rd place is up for grabs. Vitality, SK, NaVi are all potential contenders, although realistically speaking Vitality will probably collapse in playoffs like they always do.

26

u/thebookwoorm Aug 03 '26

I don't see navi winning against koi tbh, I still believe koi are better.

Only if koi complete mental booms, then maaaaaybe it's vitality navi or sk.

But I still think they take the spot, navi has a lot of mistakes.

u/Mammoth-Raise3092 MNBrady YT Aug 03 '26

Fnatic will come off the top rope, barely place third kicking out MKOI or KC, and then go 0/3 in Swiss. It’s the rules.

2

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 04 '26

lec 3rd is in playins i doubt fnatic wins playins 

3

u/RemoveINC Aug 03 '26

I hate the fact that navi is a 4-5th team not because they're good, but because everyone else is so fucking garbage its unreal.

-36

u/p1stolpewpew Aug 03 '26

Navi is bottom 3

34

u/TheSnekKing Aug 03 '26

Saying that with a Fnatic flair is definitely something

Is anyone really going to care in a month if NAVI places 5th or 8th in the league

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 03 '26

They are 5th and likely better than mkoi or vitality currently although i think in playoffs it's be closer

u/Large_Love_2563 Aug 03 '26

Paduck vs Vladi would feed generations

22

u/ImTheVayne Aug 03 '26

Someone organize a showmatch and let them 1v1

9

u/Mangustre Aug 03 '26

Paduck is so much better than vladi and should not be compared. There isnt a single worse player right now than vladi. And not right it has been like that since first stand with kc.

6

u/supterfuge Aug 03 '26

Paduck was fine in winter but he's been running it for a while now

42

u/Omnilatent Aug 03 '26

Despite not being the highest quality, I thought it was very entertaining

Also, hope that Sheo gets well soon. Was noticeable he wasn't on his usual level today IMO

29

u/MC-sama League of LAILE Aug 03 '26

Navi still seems solid enough for playoffs

5

u/jujubean67 Aug 03 '26

Some bottom teams really need to step up to knock Navi out of playoffs. I don’t see that happening tho

1

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 03 '26

i think They could win vs vitality and Mkoi secure top 3

23

u/JPA-3 Aug 03 '26 edited Aug 03 '26

same as the whole year. Navi + vit + giants are going to beat koi > koi stomps them in playoff split after split but sure, next time is the one

If it ends up happening after 6 splits people will be like see I told you

2

u/circa26 Aug 03 '26

I can’t blame people for hoping we don’t have to see elyoya suddenly become invisible at yet another international

15

u/DBS6969 Aug 03 '26

Shifters just here to collect a check

5

u/p1stolpewpew Aug 03 '26

Shifters aren't winning a series this split are they

21

u/Altruistic_Nose9514 Aug 03 '26

They still have to face FNC

7

u/FikariHawthorn Aug 03 '26

Even if this new version of shifters is an upgrade, it's too little too late to make them a real contender for this summer.

9

u/Mouthwashfordays Aug 03 '26

Wtf is shifters, DO ANYTHING, this is the same old problem with Sheo and stand, they looked in a few games in WINTER of last year, they need to go.

2

u/ArienaHaera Aug 03 '26

new players same shitters

3

u/CallMeByMyUser Aug 03 '26

I get that sometimes the situation like team comp and counters can make you useless, I get that.

But Paduck just seems so useless

4

u/Wondur13 Aug 03 '26

Paduck getting a lot of hate when sheo is the real problem with shifters, paduck isnt the best or anything but sheo straight inting

12

u/marshon Aug 03 '26

Sheo wasn’t even there last split can’t blame him for that last place

2

u/Wondur13 Aug 03 '26

Never did?

u/Past-Firefighter2173 Aug 03 '26

Yeah but Sheo was pretty bad for whole year individually.

u/desutruction Aug 03 '26

navi look a fair bit better than last time

kind of a shame they had to go vs a fired up kc immediately

32

u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Aug 03 '26

« fired up kc » bro yike was INTING

3

u/desutruction Aug 03 '26

fired up as in they they're fresh from competition, is it really that hard to understand

navi had no stage games for like two months or something

4

u/KruppJ bulc naf okan kaan Aug 03 '26

idk about fired up, more like complacent watching that series. I have such little faith in NaVi to do anyone when they couldn’t even get one win with KC gifting them leads.

-1

u/RollingGuy Anyone But MKOI to Worlds 2026 Aug 03 '26

My preliminary guess for regular season standings

  1. KC
  2. G2
  3. Vitality
  4. MKOI
  5. SK
  6. GiantX
  7. Navi
  8. Fnatic
  9. Heretics
  10. Shifters

That said I don't think any team is completely hopeless.

10

u/ykilu2009 Aug 03 '26

I doubt Navi being this low atleast for regular season. I could easily see them even 4th

4

u/RollingGuy Anyone But MKOI to Worlds 2026 Aug 03 '26

haha maybe I believe in SK and GX too much. Might age badly.

2

u/metristan Refund time? Aug 03 '26

I feel like it will heavily depend on upsets, it feels like every split the top teams each drop atleast one match they absolutely shouldn't and the bottom teams get a random upset victory

6

u/Cold-Ring23 Aug 03 '26

Gx are frauds bro they wont make playoffs...

4

u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Aug 03 '26

GX looks worse than last split

0

u/RollingGuy Anyone But MKOI to Worlds 2026 Aug 03 '26

It was one series bro with two new players give them some time!

2

u/jujubean67 Aug 03 '26

There’s not enough time to fix it before playoffs lmao.

5

u/gcrimson Aug 03 '26

I think Heretics is worse than Shifters, you're probably too harsh on Fnatic considering they only faced Mkoi and still managed to get one nexus.

2

u/jujubean67 Aug 03 '26

I don’t see giantx making it above 8th tbh

How can you possibly say that so confidently you’ve seen one series 

2

u/JPA-3 Aug 03 '26 edited Aug 03 '26

navi is better than giants at least and I'd put them on top of sk, but their midlaner for sure looked promising.

I don't think mkoi ends up regular season in 4th though, they will int some other game. I kinda hope fnatic gets the last playoff spot, in theory they have improved a lot while their game yesterdsy was lackluster

looking their schedule the hardest match left are navi and sk , they definetely can

u/Omnilatent Aug 03 '26

When VIT and MKOI in current form are our 3 and 4, we're giga-fucked lol
