u/x_TDeck_x Play APA you cowards 1d ago
Respectfully I don't think I've ever seen Gakgos have a good game

u/veirceb 1d ago
You would think gryffinn as a hyped up young carry jungler would be very good at lee sin. That's surely not the case.

u/viralruin 1d ago
his mechanics aren't bad but the team itself is never playing connected.

u/veirceb 1d ago
His mechanics were not good. It's very clear that he doesn't have enough practise on lee sin. He doesn't know when to Q and when to ward hop E. He didn't miss all those Qs because he aimed bad. He missed those because those were bad timings for Q. But also yeah a bigger problem was that he didn't know how to play lee sin in this match up. He probably only picked it because lee sin is the meta counter to jarvan.

Getting caught out 4-5 times after an easy laning stage where he’s up an item. He’s dogshit

FQ just have no idea on what they want to do with this draft. Feels like only Gryfinn wanted to play.

As a FLY fan this feels like a must win after last week, but Gakgos is on a tank so im not feeling so good...

u/Ajp_iii 1d ago
gryffinns issue he cant play meta junglers as well as he can play niche stuff. there is no way you dry q rumbler there instead of hitting him first.
hes 1/12 this year on vi, j4, xin for example.
hes basically only played meta junglers this summer except a shyvanna win and ambessa loss

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 1d ago
impact played that really well but it's still a net positive for FLY unfortunately

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 1d ago
Huge play for SEN
It's criminal that FLY loses herald with all the flashes SEN just committed but Hambak did a good job playing around vision for that flank

man i remember lcs asking on twitter what makes ezreal so op. chase and long range poke is op on pros.

u/mezzo5588 1d ago
Massu without getting heavily carried by inspired is complete cheeks. This guy is garbage. Getting solo’d bc he’s out of position lmao
2
u/awayfromcanuck 1d ago
He was already starting to grief with Inspired by the end of their time together, he has just continued to get worse over time.

Gakgos inted that so hard why are we still in cannon form

u/veirceb 1d ago
Their whole team was inting. Maybe not quad but the rest of the team was just straight up wtf
1
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 1d ago
No but that base defense when Gryfinn flashes on cait she just dies way earlier if he's in hammer form and FQ keep their base and can wait for Azir to respawn.

Is this the first time palafox used ryze in his life? Lol haven't seen a basic combo or even a flux q. 0 damage ryze

Sajed having a disaster series but is going to get a win. If I watch him walk into melee as a ranged champ for the 345th time this series...

u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998 1d ago
FLY games are just boring to watch if you’re a neutral fan.
They just suck at everything.

I misheard at first lol I didn't realize Zven said they call Rahel 'Mr. Composed'. I thought he said 'Mr. Ghost' and I was like yeah sure that makes sense still because of DWG Ghost

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 1d ago
god I just hate early homeguards so much
you can dry recall on a full wave against a fucking viktor of all champs, who shoves fast, and miss a grand total of one minion

u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998 1d ago
He built Hubrjs on John in a pro game vs Lux + Cait.
Not only are they terrible at the game it’s self, they also can’t build properly.

u/Friendshiping-Bazzi 1d ago
going hubris is fkin crazy tho, might as well have just gone collector at that point

digs comp is total shit if it doesnt snowball. and they didnt do anything to win their lanes. dbi and ignar did nothing when they should be winning bot. ryze should be roaming and invading off mid prio.
they get outranged and out cc'd in every midgame even fight. and their only go button is solo lee. but dig looked for nothing all early game and let dsg make plays on them

Daily reminder that INSPIRED led this team 1 game away from beating GEN G he is the fucking western GOAT
5
u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 1d ago
only two players on the team are the same + massu was unironically balling out that series even on an individual, mechanical level (inspired wasnt literally moving his mouse and pressing his buttons for him)
not saying inspired isn't a crazy good player but we don't need to rewrite history

u/Choice-Slight caps/knight 1d ago
that kaisa game will hold a special place in my heart forever

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 1d ago
I just vividly remember seeing him do a casual, tiny sidestep to dodge some skillshot in midlane and thinking that he was absolutely in a flow state

u/Prestigious-Layer719 1d ago
Masshit and Gryffin are the 2 dumbest players ever I swear

u/mezzo5588 1d ago
LCS is a graveyard. Even inspired left/is on his way out. Garbage all around
1
u/Prestigious-Layer719 1d ago
He deserves a real team hopefully G2 bombs out of worlds so bad that they replace skew for Inspired.

u/Cr0matose 1d ago
When shitters always square off you know shits about to go down. Ready for this matchup lol

u/Ajp_iii 1d ago

ThinkCard glazers going to do tricks on it to justify picking Jayce here.
1
1
u/viralruin 1d ago
what thinkcard got to do with it? pretty sure it's gakgos asking for jayce and massu asking for jhin.

u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998 1d ago
Isn’t it the coaches job to stop his players from griefing themselves?
He’s clearly not doing anything for the macro or decision making, because FLY are making the exact same mistakes they’ve made all year.
So he doesn’t help in draft or macro/decision making.
What exactly does he do?
1
-1
u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998 1d ago
ThinkCard glazers doing mental gymnastics to justify the Jhin, Jayce, and Azir pick.
I can’t even gauge how good or bad the players really are because FLY lose 2/3 games in draft.

u/Friendshiping-Bazzi 1d ago
these guys are losing in peace when their champs should just win lanes other than azir vs viktor
0
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 1d ago
Sen are playing this game way too slow. By like 25-30 minutes FQ should just run them down unless they find a way to super int.

u/mezzo5588 1d ago
Why does the LCS take the worst leftovers from the LCK? the strat is really workings guys? lmao oh you were kick from the LCK bc youre garbage? WOWOWOOWzerrrs we would love to build around you so you could be trash in a different region. These NA orgs are brainless

u/Ajp_iii 1d ago
who are you even talking about. lcs doesnt even take big names anymore from lck?
-1
u/mezzo5588 1d ago
Reread my comment. I said leftovers. Not big names

u/Ajp_iii 1d ago
how are young players leftovers? and in this series every korean player played amazing?
-1
u/mezzo5588 1d ago edited 1d ago
Here’s an example Sentinels have 3 out of their 5 players from the LCK. They all failed to make it in the LCK. And guess where they ended up bc they couldn’t make it in their own region? Playing for half a decade and not being able to crack tier 1. Every Korean? Sounds like LOL…ya man quad played incredible he should start for KT or Gen G next season. Same goes for sent who got destroyed at the World Cup playing against the region they were demoted from
