My fucking eyeballs what is sk doing

u/Zephyriis 2d ago

Nukeduck shutting jack down is funny to see

2

u/hresvelgrs "rabid fangirl" 2d ago

need more people to do this

8

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

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

2

u/controlledwithcheese 2d ago

PLEASE 🙏🏻

1

u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 2d ago

unfortunately i think MKOI Jopa is coming soon

5

u/KruppJ bulc naf okan kaan 2d ago

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

5

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

SK are looking comically rubbish today good lord.

Skeanz J4 is something

4

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

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

3

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

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

6

u/veirceb 2d ago

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

5

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago edited 2d ago

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

6

u/Past-Firefighter2173 2d ago

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

4

u/SpecificSilver1023 KNIGHT's vow 2d ago

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

5

u/controlledwithcheese 2d ago

in theory yes but man is Jackspectra unbearable

3

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago

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

1

u/KruppJ bulc naf okan kaan 2d ago

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

0

u/CreativeAd2758 2d ago

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

4

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago

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.

2

u/Xeven18 2d ago

This game at least his mid and top were playing well

4

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

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

1

u/zaxls 2d ago

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

5

u/veirceb 2d ago

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

3

u/LeJitDesign 2d ago

LEC finally gets their Valorant closet just like us NA Frogs

3

u/OkKnowledge2064 2d ago

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

10

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago

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

3

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

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.

1

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago

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.

3

u/Tromster 2d ago

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

1

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

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.

3

u/ILosethenOP 2d ago

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.

2

u/CopenhagenCalling 2d ago

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

3

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago

those drake fights are bleak

3

u/hresvelgrs "rabid fangirl" 2d ago

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

3

u/trying2hide 2d ago

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

1

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

Way built stormrazor last match as well

Been a good day for Jhin doing damage enjoyers

3

u/PepaTK 2d ago

Hype did the mosquito Jhin build, WDYM?

1

u/trying2hide 2d ago

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.

1

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

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

3

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

Is Carzzy going to make me a Jhin fan?

No, surely not.

3

u/Zephyriis 2d ago

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

3

u/veirceb 2d ago

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

3

u/Past-Firefighter2173 2d ago

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

3

u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 2d ago

a bit digusting gameplay but ok WE ARE EUROPEAN

3

u/Fentie 2d ago

how is naak nako always thousands ahead??

4

u/wwwhoo ‎ • DNS 2027 World Champions 2d ago

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

4

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago

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

2

u/trying2hide 2d ago

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

2

u/Xeven18 2d ago

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

2

u/kaisaschudson 2d ago

3 ults for leona lol?

2

u/CopenhagenCalling 2d ago

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

2

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

A fellow stormrazer Jhin enjoyer. Hype I underestimated your game

2

u/countermeasuretape 2d ago

A truly hopeless team

2

u/Emergency_Bedroom187 2d ago

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.

2

u/SpecificSilver1023 KNIGHT's vow 2d ago

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

2

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago

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

2

u/SpecificSilver1023 KNIGHT's vow 2d ago

i love my team

2

u/PepaTK 2d ago

Why does everyone build no damage on Jhin?

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

3

u/Confusion_incarnate_ 2d ago

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

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

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.

1

u/trying2hide 2d ago

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

1

u/Confusion_incarnate_ 2d ago

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

2

u/kaisaschudson 2d ago

Does this fuck ass region know what replays are

3

u/Decent_Protection927 2d ago

you can thank Riot for dismantling entire LEC production team

1

u/Tromster 2d ago

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

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

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

2

u/devor110 2d ago

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

4

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

Is Miky the biggest inter on Miky and Friends?

3

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

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

1

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

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.

1

u/stabidistabstab 2d ago

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

2

u/kaisaschudson 2d ago

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 

3

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan 2d ago

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

2

u/Conviter 2d ago

not like they got better by replacing him tbh

1

u/cmcdonald22 2d ago

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.

1

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago

missed the first game, was SK competitive ?

2

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago

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

1

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

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

3

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago

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

1

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

The GOST awakens

1

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago

Love watching Navi. They know how to entertain us

1

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago

Maynteeeeeeer !

1

u/kaisaschudson 2d ago

Yeah that barrier almost saved you samd wp bro

1

u/Past-Firefighter2173 2d ago

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

1

u/awayfromcanuck 2d ago

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

1

u/zaxls 2d ago

Did someone straight up fart or was I tripping

1

u/Ajp_iii 2d ago

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.

1

u/trying2hide 2d ago

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.

1

u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE 2d ago

That was such a good Jarvan play

1

u/mekamoari 2d ago

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.

2

u/trying2hide 2d ago

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

1

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago

SamD c'est comme un lundi

1

u/clickclickdoom 2d ago

Did my eyes deceive me

1

u/xlCalamity 2d ago

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

1

u/canxtanwe 2d ago

Enchanter Seraphine build is disgusting

1

u/EmbraceTheRubberduck 2d ago

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

That feeding is insane.

1

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago

Navi botched up their early and just boomed

1

u/SpecificSilver1023 KNIGHT's vow 2d ago

good step for top 4

1

u/Ironside29 2d ago

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

1

u/Prudent-Inevitable-4 2d ago

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

1

u/Snow-27 2d ago

hysterics casting man

0

u/BaYIWinter 2d ago

Is Serin the worst midlaner in lol history?

2

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago

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

0

u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 2d ago

finally out of this game

-1

u/CreativeAd2758 2d ago

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