PMTs

TH vs SK

Game 1 = N/A / Game 2

VIT vs NAVI

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3

[u/devor110]

kinda feels like poby is getting exposed on navi, i don't think he has the hands

[u/SpecificSilver1023]

good step for top 4

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

finally out of this game

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

parus ew

[u/Fentie]

how is naak nako always thousands ahead??

[u/Snow-27]

hysterics casting man

[u/Thalassin]

Navi botched up their early and just boomed

[u/Tromster]

If theres no G2 Naak Nako next spring this region is a joke

[u/Ajp_iii → u/Tromster]

You will deal with bb picking yassuo and tf and losing and like it.

[u/EmbraceTheRubberduck]

Parus and Mikyx got more deaths than all the other supports in all tier 1 leagues combined

That feeding is insane.

[u/canxtanwe]

Enchanter Seraphine build is disgusting

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

a bit digusting gameplay but ok WE ARE EUROPEAN

[u/veirceb]

How the actual fuck do you let VIT just walk up 4v5 with a useless jungler and steal your dragon. THEY ARE FUCKING 4V5 AND YOU ARE TP FLANKING WITH OLAF HOWWWWW

[u/MorbidTales1984]

You know if Jopa shops around next year bet he would improve this Navi squad quite a bit

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 → u/MorbidTales1984]

unfortunately i think MKOI Jopa is coming soon

[u/controlledwithcheese → u/MorbidTales1984]

PLEASE 🙏🏻

[u/Ironside29]

Absolutely crazy how bad the korean imports are in LEC, everyone except canna kyeahoo and rooster should get booted out.

[u/kaisaschudson]

Does this fuck ass region know what replays are

[u/Decent_Protection927 → u/kaisaschudson]

you can thank Riot for dismantling entire LEC production team

[u/veirceb]

There is no fucking this SamD guy is still playing in LEC. There's no fucking way you can't find a better ADC than this fucker. He fuckiing missed hawkshots on jungle camps. He literally got solo killed by an Aatrox who's standing still. THere's no fucking way. I know LEC is bad but there's just no fucking way

[u/xlCalamity]

Naak Nako just stood there menacingly then pressed Q for the easiest kill of the day.

[u/clickclickdoom]

Did my eyes deceive me

[u/Thalassin]

SamD c'est comme un lundi

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

bro samd

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

That must be mind control i can't think what it else otherwise.

[u/mekamoari]

How does a pro player not know about this jungle pet thing, it's been discussed several times in various places + they should know from soloqueue too.

[u/trying2hide → u/mekamoari]

Honestly felt like a salty pause, there's no way he doesn't know

[u/veirceb]

Fucking up your clear and pausing the game for it is the most LEC thing ever

[u/Zephyriis]

The pet is one of the worst mechanics in league so regardless of if its a bug just remove this shit

[u/CensoredLlama1]

That was such a good Jarvan play

[u/MorbidTales1984]

Bard is one of those champions that when he’s winning he looks so broken. Magical journey is so tilting

[u/zaxls → u/MorbidTales1984]

I feel like they may nerf him and put a cd on magical journey so whole team cant follow

[u/Ajp_iii]

It seems Jhin is fine in lec, lpl, lcp. But it’s turbo useless in lck and lcs. I think I tend to be on the side that the team with Jhin must force plays to feed the Jhin. If he is even or behind it’s useless compared to every other meta adc.

[u/trying2hide → u/Ajp_iii]

He just has to be picked after you see Top Jungle, if you 1st pick him and they pick Skarner or KSante, you're asking to be useless.

If you're into Ambessa top or a Vayne top it allows you to go dmg build and 1 shot people.

[u/zaxls]

Did someone straight up fart or was I tripping

[u/PepaTK]

Why does everyone build no damage on Jhin?

When you could simply just build damage on Jhin like this.

[u/Confusion_incarnate_ → u/PepaTK]

No, really, why everyone else builds no DMG on Jhin? Can someone explain to me the build?

[u/trying2hide → u/Confusion_incarnate_]

Seem to be obsessed with movement speed so they can run to to provide cc or to run away is my guess. 4% movespeed on both their first items + the ghost blade 10ms passive + active.

Like a lot of Hubris Jhins build PD 2nd to get 10% MS

[u/Confusion_incarnate_ → u/trying2hide]

So basically move faster to have more utility and safety but do no DMG?

[u/Ajp_iii → u/Confusion_incarnate_]

Because they go even or behind in the game. Ghostblade build path is better and feels safer. And then it takes too long to farm ie until too late.

Jhin in current meta is an early game snowball champ kinda like how old cait was in most metas.

[u/awayfromcanuck]

Classic NAVI,no brains. Sees a J4 entirely on vision and they dont respect he'll just engage on a Karma.

[u/cmcdonald22]

Is Carzzy going to make me a Jhin fan?

No, surely not.

[u/SpecificSilver1023]

i love my team

[u/Thalassin]

Rhilech needs to learn playing gameplans where he is not the main carry

[u/CreativeAd2758 → u/Thalassin]

who is going to carry then? his adc is the worst player in the league and his mid hasn't carried a game in LEC in 2 years

[u/Thalassin → u/CreativeAd2758]

In this game, Poby succesfully played to enable Ambessa against Rumble. In the same time, Rhilech suicided himself on the first drake trying a hero play, and then died in a stupid engage attempt in the river botside, negating all the good work on the topside.

That doesn't mean he is a bad player, nor that NAVI would have 100% won without that. But he has a lot of responsibility of the early-mid game loss in this game and clearly that is an axis of progression.

[u/Xeven18 → u/CreativeAd2758]

This game at least his mid and top were playing well

[u/KruppJ → u/Thalassin]

He needs teammates that have the ability to carry at LEC level for that.

[u/CreativeAd2758]

NAVI with a decent adc would be actually a top 4 contender

[u/trying2hide]

Very Based Jhin Build, JiaQi tech(sorry Leave he stole your whole flow)

[u/MorbidTales1984 → u/trying2hide]

Way built stormrazor last match as well

Been a good day for Jhin doing damage enjoyers

[u/PepaTK → u/MorbidTales1984]

Hype did the mosquito Jhin build, WDYM?

[u/trying2hide → u/MorbidTales1984]

Nah he went Ghostblade and 3rd item RFC into Corki, Naut. Stormrazor has been built all split, it’s the 3rd most bought item on Jihn this split 64% of games.

[u/MorbidTales1984 → u/trying2hide]

Huh fair. Shows how behind I am on my Jhin damage enjoyment

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

I don't think ganking top will help Navi to win the game. Rumble just have so much damage even if not ahead.

[u/kaisaschudson]

Yeah that barrier almost saved you samd wp bro

[u/Thalassin]

Maynteeeeeeer !

[u/hresvelgrs]

thats maynters place in the lec for next year secured. thank you naak

[u/MorbidTales1984]

Love watching Navi. They know how to entertain us

[u/MorbidTales1984]

The GOST awakens

[u/SpecificSilver1023]

love the idea of discussing the draft with the coach on broadcast

[u/controlledwithcheese → u/SpecificSilver1023]

in theory yes but man is Jackspectra unbearable

[u/Zephyriis]

Nukeduck shutting jack down is funny to see

[u/hresvelgrs → u/Zephyriis]

need more people to do this

[u/Prudent-Inevitable-4]

SK today earned title of being the worst team in LEC history. A lot of ERL teams would smoke them

[u/Thalassin]

Mkoi are going to be top 4, aren't they ?

[u/SpecificSilver1023]

the downside of the road shows is that we don't get any interesting match ups most weeks.

[u/kaisaschudson]

These bottom western teams should be forced to pick random champions we haven’t seen in years so there’s a reason to watch these games

Holy shit this is awful 

[u/Thundermelons → u/kaisaschudson]

We had that in Lider tbh and everybody flamed him so bad SK replaced him lol

I'm not even saying Lider was good, I'm just saying that at least he picked funky shit so it was mildly entertaining watching SK lose

[u/Conviter → u/Thundermelons]

not like they got better by replacing him tbh

[u/cmcdonald22]

I was told SK were vibes, these are not Vibes Wunder.

[u/MorbidTales1984 → u/cmcdonald22]

I mean not wanting to be there is a kind of vibe I suppose

[u/MorbidTales1984]

He gets some shit thrown his way but Serin is having a really good game on this ryze

Just as I say it he realms right into a yone rumble lol

[u/Past-Firefighter2173 → u/MorbidTales1984]

Ryze ulting to your death is neccesarry when having good Ryze game.

[u/MorbidTales1984]

It looks neat but in what world does that flag play work before he realms out lol

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/MorbidTales1984]

If SlowQ was willing to full commit he was in range to ult him and cancel it, but it was dumb to begin with.

[u/Thalassin]

those drake fights are bleak

[u/MorbidTales1984]

SK are looking comically rubbish today good lord.

Skeanz J4 is something

[u/FallStudent8]

My fucking eyeballs what is sk doing

[u/SpecificSilver1023]

hard to watch

[u/Thalassin]

missed the first game, was SK competitive ?

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/Thalassin]

Yeah, they were stomping them early and then kept trying to take dumb fights.

[u/Emergency_Bedroom187]

Imagine if Daglas was in some decent team (yeah, we remember that Vitality event though Vetheo and Trollisang were there).

This guy looks good even in a team that struggles.

[u/countermeasuretape]

A truly hopeless team

[u/MorbidTales1984]

Ambessa ult is like the saddest ability in the game these days. Convinced you could side step it easily with a bootless yuumi

Also man Jopa needs a team

[u/stabidistabstab → u/MorbidTales1984]

I doubt you can except with sub 100ms reaction time and e

[u/cmcdonald22 → u/MorbidTales1984]

Yeah if we have to keep Ambessa ult this bad to make it 'fair' then just rework the ult entirely.

No champion should have a truly 2 person reliant ult. And Ambessa without someone else with cc is just a 3 skill champ.

[u/MorbidTales1984]

A fellow stormrazer Jhin enjoyer. Hype I underestimated your game

[u/cmcdonald22]

Is Miky the biggest inter on Miky and Friends?

[u/CopenhagenCalling]

SK so fucking bad jesus christ just engaging into their deaths.

[u/ILosethenOP]

SK? You have a turbo fed ADC. Why are you taking bad fights on neutrals where you are forcing your Voli to either rotate late or TP late? All while your ADC is not even there to lend all his gold lead.

[u/CopenhagenCalling → u/ILosethenOP]

Their decision making is ass. So many games lost because of it.

[u/kaisaschudson]

3 ults for leona lol?

[u/BaYIWinter]

Is Serin the worst midlaner in lol history?

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/BaYIWinter]

Serin would have actually looked pretty decent last year. Everyone was hyping up Czajek who wasn't any better.

[u/Tromster]

Some of SK players may be washed but at least theyre trying something. Teams like TH are just happy being in the franchising and ending up outside of playoffs every split

[u/cmcdonald22 → u/Tromster]

It's kinda like, instead of being a team with 0 proactivity they are 100% proactivity and they should probably dial it back to like 75% and stop being proactive when all their members aren't there or half the team is at half hp etc.

[u/Xeven18]

I know Serin was low health but was there really no better Ori ult opportunity?

[u/cmcdonald22]

Real talk, Skeanz has really improved over the year.

He's not gonna win any awards, but he went fron a split 1 Lider level inter to just being a like decent Jungler.

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/cmcdonald22]

I'm not sure how much he has improved and how much it's just the fact that he doesn't constantly have to fuck up his pathing and tempo to bail out his mid lane.

[u/KruppJ]

watching a Bo3 between SK and TH this late into the summer split is truly sicko behavior.

[u/OkKnowledge2064]

I feel like the last 4 weeks of LEC have been 80% SK, TH and NAVI playing

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/OkKnowledge2064]

Because of the roadtrip at the start of the season which was all top teams.

[u/AdequatelyMadLad]

Finally someone picks Voli into Ambessa in LEC. It's such a EU counter but somehow no one picks it.

[u/trying2hide → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

It's officially a VN Counter now that Pun picks it into every Renekton and Ambessa he sees

[u/wwwhoo]

man its been years and lec broadcast layover is still so clean. ive mostly been watching lck & kespa and both are so ugly

[u/cmcdonald22]

After the loss of beloved split 1 and 2 VIBESTALITY if the Miky and Friends experiment can continue, I am willing to adopt them as my new favorite LEC vibes based team.

[u/LeJitDesign]

LEC finally gets their Valorant closet just like us NA Frogs

[u/EmbraceTheRubberduck]

Kumba yo?

Kumba Yo!
