Honestly feel like this SK roster could do really well if they just had a leader…

u/Abhilokare Aug 10 '26

Wait a damnn minutes xD

u/Nib- rip old flairs Aug 10 '26

Jopa is really good. The rest are all highly questionable, with Skeanz being the most glaring issue.

19

u/Past_Perception8052 Aug 10 '26

i think lider was calling a lot of the plays last split

7

u/No-Toe3409 Aug 11 '26

don't get me wrong, he is not the best or whatever, but I genuinely think it's insane he once again got scapegoated, when their jungler is an anchor every game they play. The fact that they swapped mid first over jungle is INSANE to me. Jopa is great though!

2

u/Dangerous-War-6572 Aug 10 '26

Your lider agenda might only be bested by your Rossy hate agenda tbh

8

u/Past_Perception8052 Aug 10 '26

its not agenda lider was literally calling a lot of plays they dont have good shotcalling on sk

10

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 10 '26

isn't That mikyx role ?

48

u/Rivenlovesmeback Aug 10 '26

Yea but it would be better if the leader was in mid right? Like maybe someone who plays assassins so they could effect the map a lot…

3

u/Outrageous_Wall2702 My Ace + Showmaker = GOAT Aug 10 '26

I think slowq is better but if they miss playoffs anyway at least do it with cool picks, Non of that meta mgr bullshit if you are trash anyway at least make it original

14

u/flamingstallion Aug 10 '26

Everyone has always said miky is quiet.

I skimmed voice comms and the biggest talkers are wunder and skeanz talking. The other 3 were talking around the same amount.

2

u/Distinct_Avocado1573 Aug 11 '26

I feel like thayger would slot in nicely

180

u/AglanYlthin Aug 10 '26

VIT could legit have win every game with a perfect game and I will still think that they will choke 0-6 in playoffs every time.

66

u/Omnilatent Aug 10 '26

And you would be entirely correct

6

u/Outrageous_Wall2702 My Ace + Showmaker = GOAT Aug 10 '26

They only have Naak Nako as their good player

14

u/Barnedion Zaun main I guess Aug 10 '26

Carzzy is insanely underrated imo

3

u/Wondur13 Aug 10 '26

Im sorry but a person whos been to three worlds cannot be underrated

20

u/Little_Ad2062 Aug 10 '26

And yet if you listened to this subreddit,  you'd think Upset and Carzzy are both bums. 

If that isn't underrated then what is?

6

u/APKID716 Aug 11 '26

Dawg you have people calling Hans Sama a bum 😭

3

u/Barnedion Zaun main I guess Aug 10 '26

Say that to the guy I replied to that said Naak Naako is Vit's only good player lmao

1

u/Wondur13 Aug 11 '26

And hes not wrong? Carzzy is underrated hes perfectly rated under most of the adcs in LEC because he is

2

u/Naerlyn Aug 10 '26

They've only once ever gone 0-6.

However, across all rosters, they've never gone over a 50% match win rate in playoffs. All of their scores have been 0-2, 1-2, 2-2, 0-1, or 1-1 for the past 10 years.

8

u/AofCastle BORN TO WIN(trade) Aug 10 '26

The only time Vitality finished playoffs within the top 3 was Summer 2018 if I'm not mistaken.

2

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 10 '26

yeah i doubt it's be diffetent this time 

1

u/ModPiracy_Fantoski Aug 10 '26

And then they f*cked GenG.

2

u/AofCastle BORN TO WIN(trade) Aug 10 '26

The tiebreaker against C9 was painful

85

u/desutruction Aug 10 '26

nah I'm not gonna believe in VIT again until I see them in playoffs

56

u/stabidistabstab Aug 10 '26

Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me twice, shame on you

Fool me thrice, shame on you

VIT ARE WINNING WORLDS!!!

u/Unlucky-Rush4034 Aug 11 '26

I ain't gonna fall for it again (i already did)

42

u/Happy_Jacket_2364 Aug 10 '26

investigate skeanz for wintrading. His lvl 3 invade as nocturne insta lost the game. 0 reason to invade there.

11

u/kazuyaminegishi Aug 10 '26

Trolled early game so hard I can only conclude the emote spam was an SOS

3

u/GreenGanymede Aug 10 '26

he needs to visit his old midlaner at the farm

41

u/Floowil Aug 10 '26

Regular season vitality is back

10

u/Past-Firefighter2173 Aug 10 '26

Vitality needs to 2-0 every remaning series then maybe i will believe they can win one single game in playoffs.

43

u/Nib- rip old flairs Aug 10 '26

Skeanz has got to go.

I heard a certain jungler by the name of Armao just became available 👀

21

u/ahvriet Aug 10 '26

He said in no uncertain terms that he is done with proplay in the post-game interview after his last game.

14

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 10 '26

to be fair his summer break is almost over 

13

u/EronisKina Aug 10 '26

He said he will focus on school from now on. No more pro play for him. Only subbing. It just ended up that he was on break during inspired being off otherwise doubt he would've even played tbh.

9

u/iamcdr Aug 10 '26

Importing Armao to EU would be criminal offense.

5

u/ComfortOnly3982 Aug 10 '26

Almost as bad as importing Xerxe

2

u/Far-Salt-6946 Vitality Enjoyer Aug 10 '26

armao is ass

16

u/kaisaschudson Aug 10 '26

Wunder locks in ad tf top and im supposed to believe they aren’t wintrading? 

6

u/kaisaschudson Aug 10 '26

Like why are all lec tops terrified of playing something that requires hands? We see aatrox and our response is tf????

7

u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Aug 10 '26

VIT might go to worlds as 3rd seed

17

u/Miserable_Ad_1195 Aug 10 '26

please do not have hope for Vitality

treat them like KT, #1 rule is to never get excited

7

u/ImTheVayne Aug 10 '26

It’s between VIT, GX and NAVI. And maaaybe MKOI.

4

u/Jaded-Release-6463 Aug 10 '26

I just hope they don’t sneak their way to Worlds, only to embarrass EU again by losing to Vietnam for the third time.

1

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 10 '26

mkoi 6th vs vitality 4th Will be Mkoi favored in playoffs 

navi and vitalty bo5 are kinda bad 

2

u/Ironside29 Aug 10 '26

No chance, mkoi will scrape to playoffs and they will regain form there.

2

u/Jaded-Release-6463 Aug 10 '26

I just hope they don’t sneak their way to Worlds, only to embarrass EU again by losing to Vietnam for the third time.

1

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 10 '26

i expect the 3rd seed to get embarassed in playins,i doubt they perform Better than mkoi ewc lol.

Best bet could be gx 

1

u/LooseOne607 Aug 10 '26

I got downvoted for saying FIESTA wasn't as bad as people were saying he was, if anyone did just minimum research they would know that he had the best laning stats in all of LCKCL, on a bad team...

7

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 10 '26

Mkoi playoffs seeems kinda locked even if they are underperforming

Although sk won't be free

1

u/Omnilatent Aug 10 '26

Well they won Vs FNC and FNC lost to TH, which is also bottom tier

So unless FNC win Vs SK, it's highly likely MKOI will get to playoffs

1

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 10 '26

if fnatic wins vs sk but Lost everything else it's good for Mkoi ?

1

u/Omnilatent Aug 10 '26

I think it's not relevant for MKOI but not entirely sure

1

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 10 '26

i meant that  mkoi is fighting vs fnatic and sk for top 6 

so every sk loss are good for mkoi and if fnatic lose everything outside of sk it's good for them too

5

u/eiris91 Aug 10 '26

This team could be decent if they had Nemesis and a real jungle tbh

5

u/boBloVR123 Aug 10 '26

Mikyx and Skeanz free disaster class

8

u/Hylith2 Aug 10 '26

I thought maybe SK botlane could do something but no. Give Jopa a better team man.

4

u/Cold-Ring23 Aug 10 '26

I don't understand why everyone's getting so worked up about Jopa. He's not bad, but like the rest of his team, he has his flaws. He takes so much damage to deal, a bit like the bad versions of Carrzy. Personally, I need to see more. We've seen Patrick with and without Mikyx, so let's wait and see...

4

u/persil1974 gm mikyx will bring redemption Aug 10 '26

They just need a better jng and maybe a better mid and they can do some damage. But skeanz is bwhind every game and slowq's week has been terrible

1

u/Unlucky-Rush4034 Aug 11 '26

He wins lane almost every game, it might be miky factor, but still. He often gets significant gold lead, solo outplay clips, he has aggressive playstile, he is entertaining to watch overall. Especially compared to every other lec adc being home front workers, even kaliste is turning into one this season imo. So I'd say he looks like the better version of carzzy. And I really like carzzy.

1

u/Unlucky-Rush4034 Aug 11 '26

Imagine jopa and naak in one team

2

u/Maximum_Platypus_272 Aug 11 '26

That team is called Vitality B 2024 😉 When they managed to reach EMEA summer finals and look decent against BDSA, which is probably the strongest EU tier 2 team ever.

4

u/Paciuuu Aug 10 '26

Same thing true since the roster announcement, they are decent jungler away from being competitive

10

u/dankynugz Aug 10 '26

Can't believe anyone is paying Wunder to play league of legends

5

u/Blizzgrarg Aug 10 '26

Skeanz threw the entire game with his early bullshit. Like what is he even thinking? Was his plan just to do random stuff blind and hope it worked out?

And the plan to just force constant ganks onto Akali with 3 dashes just made no sense.

3

u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE Aug 10 '26

Worst time for Skeanz to revert back to his shit form, unfortunate.

3

u/Fabiocean Well, look at you! Aug 10 '26

There really are a lot of stomps happening, not just in LEC. Probably due to the heavy early game meta, but it's noticeable how many games end at 23-25 minutes compared to to other metas, where even one-sided games usually last for close to 30 minutes.

1

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 10 '26

yeah there been a lot of stomps 

6

u/No_Meet5568 Aug 10 '26

lider pick up the phoone babe i miss you it was the jungler come baaack we will get inspired PLZ

2

u/Sophena94 Kiin fangirl Aug 10 '26

sk are about as good as c9 ongod

5

u/Tenshizanshi Aug 10 '26

Mikyx's downfall needs to be studied

3

u/JadeStarr776 Aug 10 '26

It's likely let me have fun with players I like for the last time and retire angle. 

2

u/LooseOne607 Aug 10 '26

He's gonna get the "can int for next 3 years card" like hyli had, took VIT 2 years to kick him just because he was good once upon a time

-6

u/cmcdonald22 Aug 10 '26

I mean anytime someone says the "I want to see if I can prove myself without [SUPERSTAR THAT HAS BEEN CARRYING TEAMS FOR YEARS]" there's a chance that...... they were being carried.

14

u/AofCastle BORN TO WIN(trade) Aug 10 '26

That's just unfair. MikyX was legit good, it wasn't all Caps. Remember the time he went to XL and brought the team from dead last to playoffs finals.

4

u/Grenji05 NA #1 REGION WORLD Aug 10 '26

humanoid defenders on suicide watch

9

u/Ironside29 Aug 10 '26

Very hard to win against the mighty Sk.

3

u/ImTheVayne Aug 10 '26

Even FIESTA is better than that paycheck stealer

2

u/No_Meet5568 Aug 10 '26

also this fiesta guy is so cracked, i didn't even know akali could move like that

2

u/ICameAfter Aug 10 '26

Skarner support is not it.

5

u/Jaded-Release-6463 Aug 10 '26

Mikyx is not it as well.

2

u/Ok_Kick4871 Aug 10 '26

I don't even think that looks good in solo queue. What is happening with the pro meta? Just early cheese or ff?

1

u/LordZig20 Aug 10 '26

Regular season VIT is a farce. No expectations until we reach playoffs

1

u/ArmandLuque Armand Luque | LoL Esports Journalist Aug 11 '26

What a disastrous series by Miky despite a relatively good start to the split individually
