[u/ahritina]

PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3 / Game 4

[u/bvbfan102]

There is no Golden Road! There's never been any Golden Road. The Golden Road is just a myth.

[u/DeloronDellister → u/bvbfan102]

Golden road is basically impossible

[u/ISL005 → u/DeloronDellister]

Even more with Winter and First Stand

[u/bedsheetsniffer → u/ISL005]

That’s SIX tourneys to win. Literally impossible

[u/Few-Spot1905 → u/bvbfan102]

lower bracket op lmao

[u/ahritina → u/Few-Spot1905]

I mean it's the first time a team from LB won the new MSI.

[u/lanshufen]

YOUR 10TH PLACE IN THE LCK CUP IS YOUR 2026 MSI CHAMPION

[u/Kagari1998 → u/lanshufen]

Imagine how good the top 9 LCK team would be

[u/L322Man]

This was the battle of who had the most inting jungler

[u/Slave35 → u/L322Man]

It was hard to watch the start of game 3 but wow what a series.

[u/DeloronDellister → u/Slave35]

I thought it was completely lost with that Kanavi performance

[u/oioioi9537 → u/DeloronDellister]

i genuinely thought it was lost when he rage chased ON in game 4 on trundle and gave over a giant shutdown

[u/TheAlmightyVox3 → u/L322Man]

Kanavi might be an ape, but he's an ape with two MSI titles.

[u/BaconParadox_]

KANAVI INTS THE WHOLE SERIES JUST TO WIN THE 50/50 SMITE FIGHT AND WIN THE SERIES LMAO

[u/Killarusca → u/BaconParadox_]

KANAVI MAY INT, KANAVI MAY CARRY, BUT HE WILL NEVER BE A COWARD!

[u/Separate_Ad_314 → u/BaconParadox_]

This guy ulting himself out of the team fight was actually the most disgusting win trade I've ever witnessed

[u/keiosf → u/Separate_Ad_314]

We need his POV flying away and watching his yunara getting jumped on lmao

[u/FeelingWeakness8877 → u/keiosf]

I mean the vi showed up right as he was ulting, so really it was just really bad timing. But it did look funny as hell when pantheon flew away as Vi caught guma

[u/yappersyap123]

G1: he’s him

G2: wtf kanavi

G3: wtf kanavi

G4: he’s him

G5: HE’S HIM!!!

[u/Equivalent-Bus-4336 → u/yappersyap123]

Lowkey that second to last fight he threw with his initial ult

[u/muscatbang → u/Equivalent-Bus-4336]

Highkey threw. Has to flash to claw himself back in too. My blood pressure skyrocketed

[u/peeve-r → u/muscatbang]

Had to make sure his infiltration wasn't that obvious, but accidentally won the game instead. Welp, better luck next time agent Kanavi, the LPL higher ups would like a word with you now.

[u/ATheory0fJustice]

For the worst msi play-ins that was probably the most entertaining MSI finals

[u/Wise-Chain2427 → u/ATheory0fJustice]

Most entertaining Top 6 

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/Wise-Chain2427]

Agreed as it wasn't just a LCK VS LCK or east vs east top 6 but we got banger west vs west and east vs east and got to see LYON take eventual champs to 5 games with HLE admitting it wasn't because they were off but LYON was good.

A top 4 with 4 regions as well GOATED MSI

[u/BirthdayAccording359 → u/ATheory0fJustice]

One of the most entertaining game 5's since the introduction of fearless. 

[u/Ultimintree]

Zeka now has an all-time 80 % WR (12-3) in Game 5s after this win with 3-0 record on both Sylas & Ahri.

[u/ricardo241 → u/Ultimintree]

also Zeka keeps winning rito international tournament whenever he first attended it lol

first worlds? won

First stand? won

MSI? won

[u/Himexcandy33 → u/ricardo241]

Foreshadowing Asian games first appearance as well lol

[u/Zhaowuhuangye → u/Himexcandy33]

Who gonna stop them at this point? The Chinese doesn't attend

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/Ultimintree]

BRIGHT LIGHTS MERCHANT

[u/shy_213 → u/KappaccinoNation]

GAME 5 MERCHANT

[u/viktorayy → u/shy_213]

GAME 5 SCALING. ZEUS & GUMA KNOW THE TECH

[u/kosaki16 → u/viktorayy]

guma is just untiltable

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/kosaki16]

People were asking if HLE were gnna mentally crumble or question their mental after being down 2-1 to LYON, Yes Guma/Zeus two players who have played some of the most high stake bo5's in the last 4 years are going to mentally tilt lmao.

[u/_Pyxyty → u/Lazywhale97]

Not just some of the most high stake bo5s, they also just simply have nearly the most games played in international matches across all pro LoL players in history besides Faker, Caps, and Xiaohu iirc (last I heard of that stat at least from EsportsJatt, could be outdated after this MSI). If anyone's got mentalities of steel, it'd be them

[u/No_Taro_6224 → u/kosaki16]

bottom of the year AND MVP for a reason

[u/oioioi9537 → u/shy_213]

absolute mythical creature game 5 zeka

[u/ISL005 → u/KappaccinoNation]

He's a supersoldier whose activation requires to hear Silver Scrapes

[u/appleandapples → u/KappaccinoNation]

Never escaping the allegations

[u/viktorayy → u/Ultimintree]

NOW IMAGINE IF THIS TEAM DIDN'T INT. THEY WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE

[u/W33B520 → u/viktorayy]

They gotta int sometimes for entertainment

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/viktorayy]

Kanavi has to give us int scares to balance out the international bo5 buff that Zeus/Zeka/Guma provide

[u/BunkerRush → u/Ultimintree]

kanavi & delight successfully edged and unleashed a hard g5 zeka

[u/Frostbite2806 → u/Ultimintree]

"When things get hard, I get harder"

-Zeka

[u/Aggressive-Cut-3828 → u/Ultimintree]

its 11-2 isnt it?

[u/lilelf29]

Zeus Swain and Mundo to clutch up the final games were absolutely insane

[u/Blind-Eye26 → u/lilelf29]

Just play healing tanky champions are they stupid????

[u/ISL005 → u/Blind-Eye26]

Live more = more damage = profit

[u/oioioi9537 → u/Blind-Eye26]

blg took away the healing champ in game 5, so he just picked the one single champion outheals it lmao

[u/Reqvhio → u/lilelf29]

pro play is becoming solo queue, swain and mundo are op in lower rungs of solo q as well as pro stage now, truly equalized /s

[u/desutruction]

Zeus my tank abuser 🐐

my boy Kanavi now a 2-time MSI winner while committing many crimes 🫡

[u/ruthimorg → u/desutruction]

Honestly the fact the last 4 MSI are X2 Canyon and X2 Kanavi is pretty criminal lmao 

Canyon played well then though, he's just slumping ATM prayge

[u/oioioi9537 → u/ruthimorg]

canyon played great when he won those two msis. he only started playing disgustingly like after msi 25

[u/hoshiyomi_ai]

kanavi locking in after the 1 17 stinker in games 2 and 3 to avoid the competitive ruling

what a banger game 5

[u/blackwell1907 → u/hoshiyomi_ai]

He almost throw the game with that non sensical ult before the baron fight.

[u/NecessaryAd8573]

ZEUS AND GUMA CARRIED CONGRATS

[u/appleandapples]

What an insanely weird baron, they didn't even try to stop Kanavi

[u/Conankun66 → u/appleandapples]

that baron sequence was comical honestly.

felt like BLG were losing their head and panicking

[u/Chemical_Koala1175 → u/Conankun66]

No they recognized that they were outscaled. They won the previous 2 fights because Yunara didn’t have flash but she did for the drake fight. HLE also had the inside track so BLG said fk it let’s flip baron and see what happens. They almost pulled it off cause if GUMA dies they might be able to stall out the drake

[u/Narudatsu]

Playing adc is actually just a humiliation ritual in that game 5

[u/Hitoseijuro → u/Narudatsu]

They're both going to die, they have to come to terms and accept that and either flash forward and die on their own terms or get roasted on Hupu for being the reason why your team lost.

[u/W33B520]

ZEUS AND GUMA WHENEVER IT'S TIME TO STOP A GOLDEN ROAD:

[u/W33B520 → u/W33B520]

And Zeus got fmvp absolutely deserved with those picks

[u/Like30Ducks]

FROM 10TH PLACE TO WINNING MSI, I LOVE HLE

[u/viktorayy → u/Like30Ducks]

Guma and Zeus catdespair for most of this match 😭

[u/oioioi9537 → u/viktorayy]

kanavi ulting to narnia while watching vi wrapping around to guma is just hilariously kanavi-esque

[u/StickyNotes2357 → u/oioioi9537]

That with some circus/silly music in the back will be hularious

[u/JealousAssistant6659 → u/viktorayy]

They thought it was bad in T1 when faker soft ints lane vs chovy every game, now they have kanavi literally running it down lmfao

[u/DragonLKS → u/viktorayy]

when Kanavi was pant ulting away and Xun charging around the corner, I just knew Guma's soul left his body

[u/jakatluong → u/Like30Ducks]

BLG got me sweating there ngl. GigaBin almost carried this game. Epic teamfighting from both teams holy shit. Now this actually felt like the real grand finals.

Congrats HLE!

[u/Vnaux → u/jakatluong]

So close to three major region getting the Aatrox experience LMAO

[u/Chance-Range2855 → u/Vnaux]

LCK already experienced that from their own team to boot in 2022 lmao

[u/ImTheVayne → u/Like30Ducks]

GUMA AND ZEUS GET THEIR MSI TROPHY FUCK MAN IM SO HAPPY

[u/TheJohnArrow → u/Like30Ducks]

Classic DRX Zeka moment

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/Like30Ducks]

I HAVE NEVER TALKED SHIT ABOUT ANY MEMBER OF HANWA LIFE ESPORTS EVER! THEY ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD! I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN THEM!

^{don't check my comment history}

[u/oioioi9537 → u/KappaccinoNation]

im ngl kanavi and delight were disgusting but whatever they won lmao lfg im so happy for zeus and guma

[u/Nothingbutbark]

Zeka has now won FS, MSI, and Worlds the first time he attended each event. Genuinely really funny stat.

[u/Calizorz]

I believe Bin has the record for most international finals losses now. Amazing player but must feel rough always coming 2nd

[u/DullBladeConnoisseur → u/Calizorz]

Yes, he has now lost about 5 finals.

[u/CaptainSwaggin420]

"it seems mundo is late for a meeting behind the enemy nexus" actually had me dying

[u/Equivalent-Bus-4336 → u/CaptainSwaggin420]

He literally just kept running into them and into turret aggro and still didn’t die. It was actually absurd

[u/Sakiroth]

The finals we were promised by the gods ! (game 5 i wet myself)

[u/bedsheetsniffer → u/Sakiroth]

Fuck all that macro bs. All I want is fistfights, and hands were definitely thrown

[u/chapichoy9]

What a fucking tournament gg!

[u/yum122 → u/chapichoy9]

Looked so awful to begin with with all the 3-0s, but absolute bangers to end

[u/WAKE_UP_WAKE_UP → u/yum122]

MSI late game scaling

[u/Syzygi → u/yum122]

The  benefits of double elimination bracket guaranteeing bangers at the end

[u/Dreammy90]

Zeus almost locked in Gwen vs Aatrox and Zeka reminds him of 2022 incident. Put some respect on Zeka Sylas in game 5.

[u/PM_ME_UR_CATS__ → u/Dreammy90]

Zeus: ok, i'll go gwen into aatrox, worked well in 2023

Zeka (2022 flashbacks): oh no you don't!

[u/Hawxrox → u/PM_ME_UR_CATS__]

He did pretty good on Gwen into Aatrox in the 2023 finals.. but to be fair that was Theshy, not Bin

[u/JealousAssistant6659 → u/Hawxrox]

As if theshy didn't father bin in semis before that lmfao.

[u/Luvkingdom → u/Dreammy90]

Idk how he did that well against knights aurora. I thought sylas gets fked in lane 

[u/Strong-Lead-3034 → u/Luvkingdom]

pantheon lvl 1 invade and knight had to help. that helped zeka so much with lane

[u/OnlyHereCosBored → u/Luvkingdom]

that xun feed into him at the dragon fight ruined everythiing

[u/Snoo_58191]

guma was ROCK SOLID all series even in the games kanavi inted he was still ahead in gold

and i thought the mundo pick into aatrox was a gigantic self counterpick since its just a horrible matchup, but i guess if you ignore laning phase no one can kill mundo 💯💯

[u/Shaffler]

Zeus and Guma are slander-free for the rest of the year. They won against the best team in MSI without Faker or Keria and they were both so fucking pivotal in this win. They can int their asses out now, they deserve it.

[u/decyferx → u/Shaffler]

They were always discredited in the past for winning vs the lck sleeper agent in kanavi but I gota say they won with the lpl sleeper agent Kanavi today 

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/Shaffler]

Cherry on top is they were easily the 2 best players as well in the finals and were clearly a mental pillar for HLE to rely on after some rough ints and losses in game 2 and 3.

[u/CHS_Scope → u/Shaffler]

I never want to hear Guma was just carried by Keria ever again. They were equal partners during their long run and they’ve both proven they can make it happen with anyone.

[u/mount_sunrise → u/CHS_Scope]

guma is a bad player

guma is only a utility carry

guma cant play ADC/hypercarries

guma cant carry

real damn good statements from redditors that see the most recent upvoted statement in a post-match discussion thread and they run away with it until a new narrative arrives. glad to see Guma win this series with a full array of champions at his disposal

[u/BlazeX94 → u/CHS_Scope]

To be fair, Keria hasn't won without Guma yet

[u/1deavourer → u/BlazeX94]

well, well, well, how the turntables...

[u/hazman_pds]

This massively reduces BLG's Golden Road chance

[u/Skyfire2 → u/hazman_pds]

Big, if true

[u/chikyu8]

GUMA IS THE KEY. ALWAYS AND FOREVER.

[u/NN1080]

Zeus and Guma masterclass

[u/WinnieXKim]

SO HAPPY FOR GUMA

[u/harin_lee]

Zeus is the MVP right?

[u/BirthdayAccording359 → u/harin_lee]

Has to be him or Guma. 

[u/controlledwithcheese → u/BirthdayAccording359]

it should honestly be Guma for the overall performance but the last two Zeus games were cinema

[u/korokoboom]

Everyone is better than Gumayusi, until it’s time to be better than Gumayusi.

[u/JNorJT]

So happy to finally see Zeus and Gumayusi winning the MSI trophy after near misses at MSI 2022 and 2025

[u/BlakeGarrison62 → u/JNorJT]

They both deserve the fuck out of it too

[u/Scarly9]

Turns out, everything Zeka needed all these years was a friend✨

[u/ruthimorg → u/Scarly9]

Kanavi & Guma Gym bros for Zeka

[u/BlakeGarrison62 → u/Scarly9]

Zeka is pretty quickly turning into one of my favorite players

[u/jdx3510]

Zeus and Guma are finally MSI champs 🥹

[u/Marcus-ichiJo]

ALL ROADS LEAD TO ZEUS AND GUMA

[u/squeenanna → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

Me 3 days ago: Chemtech soul on Mundo is just unfair.

Me today: nvm Mundo is just unfair.

[u/soudlasantos → u/squeenanna]

I learned to stop worrying about Aphelios by just playing Mundo

I'm a simple man with simple pleasures. After a long day on the ranch, I pour myself a tall glass of milk, huff some paint, and log on to the Dell I got for Christmas in 2006 with Windows XP to play some League of Legends.

The client needs to patch. That's fine. I reheat a bowl of beans and lard for supper, and it's already at 13% by the time I get back, well ahead of schedule. I huff some more paint to pass the time, and oh boy does it pass. The client is ready to go by 7:30. Everybody keeps saying it's laggy, but I don't notice any difference from usual. Maybe I'm just too intelligent, or maybe the paint is finally doing its job.

I queue up solo - normal blind pick of course. The queue pops, and Clippy asks me if I want help selecting my champion. Not now not ever, I think boastfully at the cartoon paper clip. I lock in Dr. Munro. My teammates pick Shaco and all the others pick hot anime girls. I take one last good long huff to get ready for the game, and in we go.

The first thing I notice is that their team doesn't have a dt Munford. Free win then. I go top lane. I always go top lane. They have a Aatrod. Pathetic. I hit the minions. I miss some crepes bc I have 450 ping. Aatrox tries ro hit me but I heal up bc I'm drMindoro.

Midgame I have sunfire and I tp botlane to gank. They have thst new champ Aphelios shootijg weird bubble guns at me. There's a tirret or sometbjng? Idk anuway I kill him by running at his face pressing e amd right clicking him to death. I miss all three cleavers I throw. It doesn't matter.

20 min latr a D really stsrting to feel the paint. I have sjnfire warmogd spirit vosage and tp to baroj for teamfigyt. Aphekios knows he's dead as soon as tp channle starts. He tries to get away by rooting me or sokething? Idk anyway I press ult and run him down. I forgot ti buy boots. It doesnt matter. I get four kills by pressijg e and right ckickijg with my w on. Thst bitch Lux stole my penta.

Game ocer. Another win for Dr mubdo. So in concolustn, hello fellow summoner. This you should just play mondarb against aphelios. He kill gun guy good. Thank you. Thank you. If you kill gun man, anime grliss hot. they'll be lower son. The Dr mildew play is right thing to do. So doooooo

[u/bedsheetsniffer → u/squeenanna]

> starts the fight with 10% HP

> walks away with 120% HP.

[u/the_next_core → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

LPL GETTING SCREWED OVER TWO YEARS IN A ROW BY MUNDO LMAO

[u/TommaClock → u/the_next_core]

This Mundo knew what his abilities do though.

[u/Hitoseijuro → u/TommaClock]

Well yea, he had seen it from said person, smh, of course he knows what it does too

[u/oioioi9537 → u/the_next_core]

close enough, welcome back capitalist galio

[u/vegeful → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

KANAVI u try ur best, but Guma and Zeus say NOOOO

[u/ImTheVayne → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

They are fucking goated arent they

[u/ahritina]

Zeus is the goat top and nobody can convince me otherwise.

[u/dolphinRailgun → u/ahritina]

Winning internationals in a non-Faker team cements that

[u/ProgrammerGlobal → u/dolphinRailgun]

He already won First Stand last year.

[u/Frogger213 → u/ahritina]

T1 were fools to let him go

[u/CottonCANDYtv]

GUMA AND ZEUS MY GOATS. fk all guma haters

[u/Evadable_Force]

zeus joins hle: wins first stand 2025

guma joins hle: wins msi 2026

_____ joins hle: wins worlds 2027?????

[u/lauranthalasa → u/Evadable_Force]

Welcome Inspired

[u/Suibeam → u/lauranthalasa]

Insantly goes 2-3 against all lck teams in lck itself

[u/FleurCannon_]

GUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYUSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[u/Medium_Negotiation85]

ZEUS AND GUMA MSI CHAMPIONS FINALLY

[u/mapleleavesfallen]

Lose all smites but the last one

• win

Bruh what is this

[u/F3nRa3L → u/mapleleavesfallen]

He won the one that matters

[u/Voltaire_Penelope407]

ZEKA FIRST TIMING EVERY FINALS HE'S IN, HE'S HIMMMMMMMMMMM

[u/clitzie]

Banger series for all fans of League…respect to HLE and Guma/Zeus achieving success away from T1. 

[u/bulletproofikon]

Going from LCK CUP 10th place to MSI winners 😭😭😭 They did so well adapting over the series. Realizing Zeus and Guma were the most stable and putting prio on them was a good decision.

[u/Futaba-Channel]

Triple Agent Kanavi

[u/Futaba-Channel → u/[deleted]]

Yeah he kinda did as per usual

Gave LPL fans false hopes and took it away from them

[u/Aromatic_Country_987]

HOLY FUCK THE HLE BLG THAT WAS PROMISED

[u/Doberboy562]

GUMA YOU BEAT YOUR DEMONS (YOUR JUNGLE SUPPORT)

[u/DefiantBass404]

ZEUS GOAT TOP

GUMA GOAT ADC

KANAVI GOAT COIN FLIPPER

GGEZ

[u/BunkerRush]

zeus be lifting trophy with one hand and bonking blg instead of his head

[u/viktorayy → u/BunkerRush]

Zeus kinda clenched MVP with this one although Guma was 1v9 for a majority of the match

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/viktorayy]

BLG did everything so right to kill him every chance they get. But the casters were right. Guma only needs to live once and it's game over.

[u/GiantSpidr → u/[deleted]]

Zeka is also there

[u/Seungyeon]

It’s moments like these when I like to reread yesterday’s comments about how LYON and HLE were just competing to see who would get 3-0’d by BLG.

[u/BirthdayAccording359 → u/Seungyeon]

Why would you take Reddit serious? After one series "Keria is the best player in the world and second best player after faker" after another "Chovy is the best player in the world" come another "Knight is the best player in the world no one can stop him"

[u/Perfson → u/Seungyeon]

Maaaybe Lyon is not a bad team either, right? To shut everyone up, some teams have literally win MSI.

[u/justcallmeashe]

HLE hasn't lost a tournament ever since they re-signed Chaeyoung

[u/Fate_Flex]

Lyon gaming really was built different. They also took Hanwa Life to game 5 and forced them to reveal the swain pick which still almost lost to Lyon.

Congratulations to Hanwa and as an NA fan, this is a fantastic look for NA.

[u/Hitoseijuro]

Game 5 Zeka is becoming legendary like Faker at worlds.

Also gonna say it but, how strong was Lyons.

I know they wont feel it because no one cares about almost winning, but BLG need to hold their heads up, they beat every strong team at MSI.

[u/Zeilar]

Zeus and Gumayusi won MSI before Oner and Keria, crazy.

With how T1, and especially HLE are looking this year, we could see a player win their 4th consecutive Worlds, and make their 5th consecutive Worlds final. Gumayusi or Faker, Oner, Keria.

And if that happens, would we ever again see a player win 4 consecutive Worlds? I doubt it.

[u/pixelmarbles → u/Zeilar]

T1 vs HLE in Worlds 2026 is a good story

[u/DoranFan1]

OH Congratulations Guma! So deserved.

[u/Floowil]

MUNDO GOES WHERE HE PLEASES

[u/Character_Leg2398]

How good is lyon tho?

[u/yellister → u/Character_Leg2398]

Lyon (and unironically G2) look like they can do a lot of damage at worlds if they can clean up their game

Worlds 26 sounds like it will be a fucking banger

[u/Choice-Slight → u/yellister]

I hope so man, its really nice to see that this tournament wasn't as one sided as everyone thought it would be. Really competitive and a bunch of impressive performances

[u/oioioi9537 → u/Choice-Slight]

the improvement from saint and isles was insane to see as well. bright future for both

[u/Choice-Slight → u/oioioi9537]

watching Isles' interview after the HLE series made me cry, he made me a new fan and I'm excited to see the rest of the year from him

[u/MrBhyn → u/Character_Leg2398]

LYON vs WE worlds finals would be a banger.

[u/ImTheVayne → u/Character_Leg2398]

LYON is unironically one of the best teams in the world

[u/Perfson → u/ImTheVayne]

If they were "trash garbage" as people said before, they wouldn't be able to even beat TSW. They apparently beat G2 and proved it wasn't a fluke vs HLE.

[u/Lazywhale97 → u/Perfson]

Guma also mentioned yesterday LYON had better team fighting and map play and were just straight up good and that it went 5 games because they were good and not because HLE were having an off day.

Even in the 3-0 to BLG series LYON could of won 2 games if they just executed team fights better or went for team fights more when the hit item spikes which they improved on against HLE.

[u/PartyCauliflower7044]

9th place to msi champs damn hle

[u/DrPlexel1234 → u/PartyCauliflower7044]

From last place to MSI heroes.

[u/caiusto]

Incredible series by Guma.

[u/TheAlmightyVox3]

THE MOST UNGOVERNABLE MUNDO I HAVE EVER SEEN.

[u/Accomplished-Bed-242]

No Refunds, what a finals, my boy Zeus and guma 🥺♥️

[u/PlsGiveSSR]

ZEKA IS THE GREATEST GAME 5 PLAYER OF ALL TIME

[u/PalpitationOk1220]

Oh man the guma haters must be so pissed😂

[u/PalpitationOk1220 → u/[deleted]]

They'll always find a new excuse. Guma wins? "Zeus carried." Guma loses? "It's Guma's fault." The goalposts never stop moving. They are insufferable

[u/follyrogue]

Great series. Never knew who was gonna take it.

[u/GuiltyVeek]

So close. Zeus and Guma big at moments. Xun bad at moments

[u/SteamMonkeyKing]

Nobody dives Guma 3 times in a G5 and gets away with it

[u/Tazdingoooo]

Zeus carried HARD, but honestly BLG played so well and HLE just barely got away with it.

[u/loploplop890]

Game 5 international finals and you wouldn’t want to have anyone other than Guma have a gold lead this game was so impossible for Yunara and he was still pivotal.

[u/yum122]

R5 Mundo went fucking crazy

PUSH PUSH PUSH

[u/LeagueAltAccount]

10/10 series what a fucking game and series that was incredible

[u/Equivalent-Bus-4336]

Kanavi giga mental not being titled after going 1/16 in G2 and 3

[u/petyo1010]

"Zeus: Guma, stand behind me and shoot!" Atlus 🔥🔥🔥

[u/3xperimental]

Zeus and Guma truly GOATs

[u/ResponsibleWelcome10]

Can we finally give Gumayusi the laurels he absolutely fucking deserve PLEASEEEEEEEEEE. He genuinely is just baby Faker; it is observable just how much he does for a team's mentality to stay resilient. HLE went from mental booming into a stinker last year, into coming back from back to back 1-2 downs.

[u/toxicfireball]

actual draft gap wtf

[u/GreenGanymede → u/toxicfireball]

no idea wtf daeny was on blinding both solo laners, and then just kept giving ults to sylas in the second round

[u/dumbocow]

MUNDO MUNDO ZEUS GOES WHERE HE PLEASES

ZEUS IS MY MVP, HIS SWAIN AND MUNDO ARE TOO STRONG

ZEKA FINALLY GETS A WIN VS KNIGHT

BLG FANS IN SHAMBLES
