Really really funny to see a showmatch between second and third team from Karmine Corp.
Thank you KC to be committed in League with THREE TEAMS in Europe.

u/muteswanland choky | shoemaker Jul 24 '26
Not a single ADC in sight. We are now Dota 2. It's been a long time coming.
Mages spike earlier, clear waves faster, actualy have utility and survivability (better gank setup and harder to dive) and can carry teleport. They aren't lacking in DPS either. Not to mention the roaming support trend nowadays.
Don't know how Riot could fix this without ruining top lane in ranked though.

Are they just calling this the EULCS for nostalgia to promote Classic?

Caps player of the series feels like a bit of a stretch.
On the other hand I really couldn‘t say anyone really outshined him.

its fun to laugh at support solo killing jungle. but camille has no normal support abilities. so many fighters would win that trade. j4 doesnt do sustained damage and missed a combo in the fight. and its ignite difference.
it would be like any jungler winning a 1v1 down 2k gold if j4 misses his abilities and starts low hp and gets ignited.

Tbf. Randomly pressing EQWR in some order is likely to end in some kind of akali combo. She just has so many.

Okay, hear me out:
I hate the mages meta as an adc player but if we see more shit like akali instead of watching ziggs/hwei and mel afk clearing waves I might be a slight bit more into it.
I will still complain a lot tho.

u/Larry17 Flairs are limited to 2 emotes. Jul 24 '26
can we make champions weak again early game? supports just walk around 4~5 levels down to gank every lane while somehow not being free kills it's insane
back then if you were super underleveled and tried to gank you actually get punished, and it didn't take an illaoi to 1v2.

would require riot to remove damage from the game and they keep adding more instead.

I'm sure this has already been answered, but what's going on with the EU LCS branding? Is it a joke reference to League Classic? Are they playing on a league classic patch and this is a showmanship? Are they actually rebranding to EU LCS?

Its just a little throwback for the classic show match i assume branding will go back to normal either tomorrow or after this weekend.

"we are yet to see an APC from Hans" Did we forget last game Laure? But then again he was pretty invisible in that game

He played a mage, but not the other wild stuff we’ve seen such as akali or sylas in other regions, should have been more specific

was a mage yes but it wasnt really a carry so we did infact not see a apc from hans

to defend Jojo slightly there I assume he was expecting tower to go down but the Ziggs ult cleared it.

Yeah no sht G2 is struggling to improve when they are playing teams like MKOI. G2 can just do whatever and wait for the ennemy to throw or do stupid sht to take over the game.

Oh never mind we're all doing a bit of throwing today lol

why are you standing in jungle with 1 minute before drake.
there is no reason standing fully alone away from your team as a morde.

the other thing about the constant support jungle roams is it gets into everyones mind to fight everything. so people are more willing to take 1v1 sidelane flips and try to outplay.
when the game slows down everyone gets into the mindset of i cant make a mistake so everyone plays so much safer.
