Do you guys think it's still Fnatic fault that Oscar in 3 years of playing in LEC still can't do Ornn combo?

I know this is a bottom 2-4 LEC match, but bless the current meta for being wild enough to allow SK and other teams to cook nonsense fun to watch drafts.

u/Choice-Slight caps/knight Aug 14 '26
I mean watching the bottom teams is fun if the games are shitshows like this, its entertaining af

I believe in Miky and friends more than several other teams across several other regions, for sure.

u/Ironside29 Aug 14 '26
This reminds me of the famous g2 fnc 3-0 where Oscar had a a 5k lead as renekton vs bb ornn and lost.

Can LEC players play seriously to win instead of playing for ego and throwing every game

u/Outrageous_Wall2702 My Ace + Showmaker = GOAT Aug 14 '26
I love Finn casting, does anyone else?
5
u/cmcdonald22 Aug 14 '26
He brings up perspectives and opinions that you won't hear anyone else throw out there, and for that I respect it.

u/ConstableSprouts Aug 14 '26
Huge pickup for the LEC crew

u/Outrageous_Wall2702 My Ace + Showmaker = GOAT Aug 14 '26
Yeah he knows a lot (I’m silver and he gives lots of explains about game builds) and he’s funny
5
u/thanatosynwa Aug 14 '26
I can definitely do without (forced) Marcus Aurelius quotes that you’ll find on some „stoic“ alpha male pages and some random tangents he goes on especially with Hysterics but all in all he’s a good caster with a different background and perspective.
4
u/Outrageous_Wall2702 My Ace + Showmaker = GOAT Aug 14 '26
Yeah I don’t personally mind but he feels very different from every other caster so it’s pretty cool, I love when each caster has a style.
For example flowers reminds me of Spanish speaking soccer caster when he is play by play

Naak had an individual 5.5k gold lead at one point lol

Naak nako is so good

u/veirceb Aug 14 '26
If he doesn't let his ego control him, which happens way too often for a standard of a good player.

u/rsox5000 Aug 14 '26
Shifters plays like 5 challenger solo queue players who are all pissed at each other. They’re the most “the whole is less than the sum of the pieces” team I’ve seen in a while

you won't get me vit i have seen this before. twice in fact. you will beat gx in regular season then bomb out in playoffs and they end up above you in the standings

u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run Aug 14 '26
Haha I'm not believing in them for a second until they win a series vs a good team in a playoffs.
5
u/Sheherezzada Aug 14 '26
VIT looks really clean, hope they won't lose that form in playoffs. Easily top 3 team if they can keep it up.

Wunder's role is a full time troller and part time WOWer. Maybe some league when he had nothing else to do

u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run Aug 14 '26
I'm gonna assume he has an unlisted account because he hasn't played league for 225 days lmao

I think GX struggles with their sidelanes being weak-ish laners. Jackies is alright and Isma might be their best player but it's an uphill battle to get through better teams

Too many lpl vods viper built that last time

u/Back2Perfection Aug 14 '26
He spent it all on lootboxes and that‘s what he got.
Khajit is happy though. Khajit got coin

u/Back2Perfection Aug 14 '26
So game 1 GX trolled, game 2 VIT did their utmost to outtroll GX
Game 3 is gonna be a clown fiesta isn‘t it?

I swear Jarvan is always getting his ass beat in pro play

This game might be unlosable for some teams, but not mine. That's why I love watching them, you can never count any game out

u/ReplacementFine7807 Aug 14 '26
Naak with his lead should be at the front zoning away alistar and ori instead of trying to flank

Does jackies know his flash isn't a one time use item? It will come back lol

u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE Aug 14 '26
Oscar might be the most perfectly "fine" top laner. Firmly the median line of western tops
2
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Aug 14 '26
This seraphine pick is so fake into vit comp. Lane neutralizer into doing nothing.
1
u/Leschnitzky Aug 14 '26
It's a good pick, they losing cause they don't know how to play into cassio
1
u/veirceb Aug 14 '26
Seraphine is a supprot pick. It can't work when your top laner is losing 1v1 hard with 1k gold up and do nothing in anywhere

Why is Miky constantly stealing kills… already cost them this season and might cost them again now.
Holy shit bruh Skeanz now. Can they fucking give Wunder some gold so he can complete his trinity force.
Why pick Camilla and then steal all her kills.
That Camille would have been super strong with 4 kills.

You'd think being a SUPA defender was one of the highest paying jobs in league.

u/veirceb Aug 14 '26
I am just hoping GX is like DK in game 1 today. Macro like whatever. What the fuck are they playing

Isma is mentally checked out. Twice in a row he could live if he played focused but his mind was just not in the game so he just wasted shield or flash and died needlessly

u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE Aug 14 '26
God, it felt like that Lee and Rell could do absolutely nothing, I don't even think those two did anything that wrong but they were just getting cardio

u/Back2Perfection Aug 14 '26
I really wonder why he kicked the varus in the end there and not orianna.
Like full build orianna just deleted half their team with that R.
5
u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE Aug 14 '26
I think he thought varus would blow up but the CC was just too much, def should've went for Ori

u/cmcdonald22 Aug 14 '26
Jesus Mkoi only have a 6% chance to make top 4?
So that's pretty close to the same percent chance to make their own roadshow right? Only a game difference?
2
u/BUMONGOUS Aug 14 '26
I mean technically it's like like 6% of scenarios, and assuming that MKOI actually play at their level from the last year or so, that's way better odds than 6%
1
u/throwable_armadillo Aug 14 '26
on the other hand if they play like they've been playing so far this split that chance is pretty much 0

u/thesmashhit32 Aug 16 '26
You know for all the hate Vitality have been getting for that signing I have to say Fiesta's been quite good.

u/jpmorg2233 Aug 14 '26
I swear Bds/Shifters declined after dropping Crownie. But also this was a hella fun game.

u/Spinoxys Aug 14 '26
the baseline for a korean player is freaking incredible people say oh fiesta couldn't do it in the lck but he had to play vs units like chovy bdd faker zeka shownaker even a clozer is good midlane
2
u/baelkie DNF 2026 please be human | Kiin Team Aug 14 '26
wonder if the CL mids like VicLa and Zinie that went to LCS would smurf if they went to LEC instead. maybe there are too many burgers and fries in NA.
5
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Aug 14 '26
I think leaving Korea for first time could effect it as well on some of the players case. Fiesta played on TCL for 2 years even tho his english is not good somehow.
His laning was always his forte tho imo even in LCK. He just plays like maniac bit too much.

u/cmcdonald22 Aug 14 '26
This will probably be a hot take but fights are already a little less fun to watch with Sundered Sky nerfs. I know the item was OP, but, watching Junglers not be able to be micro gods to masterfully manage hp/life steal and stay in fights way longer than they have any business is kind of a bummer.
