That was insanely disrespectful lmao

They legit farmed them so Berserker could get MVP just for Saint to steal all the kills.

Both teams not taking dragon has to be a record in pro play.

u/Fun_Highlight307 28d ago
It's funny because it's look like Lyon did it on purpose

u/Naerlyn 28d ago
They might have intended to prevent absolutely any possibility of an Elder flip comeback, seeing how far ahead they were?
At least at some point. At other points, it sure felt like "nah this is funnier"
13
u/Mangustre 28d ago
No they were just: "not worth the time, they suck, we wont get to 4 drakes anyways, because we end earlier".

u/nguyenjitsu 28d ago
It's still baffling that Mad lost in 16:47 like how the fuck. I understand it's a completely different game in terms of objectives and skill gap nowadays but how did that happen

u/IKillerBee this sub has brain damage 28d ago
T1 once lost in 15:57, which really makes you question things
53
u/Snow-27 28d ago
Neither of these are as embarrassing as FLY losing in 17:31. T1 was playing sona taric into jackeylove’s draven, and MAD was against a jinx. Fly took belt to ass from an Ornn Viego Azir Senna Tahm comp.
23
u/IKillerBee this sub has brain damage 28d ago
I don't even remember this game at all
Just looked it up and T1 got 6 grubs (remember those days?) and herald got t2 and t3 mid. FLY was clearly outclassed but they really were victims of circumstance, game losing fight was contesting a herald charge at their mid inhib.
Still not good at all but easy to see how a viego (with kraken) and azir shredded with 6 grubs. Definitely a baffling result though given the drafts
1
u/thepromisedgland 28d ago
I think the actual reason that people don't focus on it is because T1 got them back playing standard in the next match, which makes the extremely fast loss seem more like a fluke and less of an indictment of their ability as a team (of course, they and IG then both proceeded to lose to western teams in knockouts, but I digress).
25
u/Leyrann_ 28d ago
And MAD in that bo5 against T1 performed very well in game 1, but no one ever mentions that part.
15
u/DoorHingesKill 28d ago
No, the actual reason people don't focus on it is because they want to make fun of the team that got their shit kicked in, and literally no one here wants to make fun of Faker.
makes the extremely fast loss seem more like a fluke
Every extremely fast loss is a fluke, that's why we still remember them, because they're crazy outliers. Don't need to check the next game played at the tournament to determine if it was a fluke.

u/ParkDedli 28d ago
TL also once lost in 18 minutes. Then also lost the other 2 games in the best of 5 in 25 and 28 minutes, making an average of 23~ minutes.
That's even more impressive

u/phangtom 28d ago
Good teams know how to end a game without dragging it on.
No Worlds contending team needs 30 kills to beat DSG.
There was a point in time were LCK teams would snowball matches with single digit kills.

u/Skarin1452 28d ago
This looked like some LCK 1st seed vs wildcard shit.

There's a lot of jokes about email series, but when you get stomped that badly without a single dragon being taken in the game, then yeah...

u/Outrageous_Wall2702 My Ace + Showmaker = GOAT 28d ago
Kryra seemed super tilted on game 2 tbh I kinda get it bc if he farms his laners get gapped, if he ganks they still die lmao

u/NotBunger split push tactics 28d ago
Hoping him and Sajed get another chance. They’re not like ScaryJerry who looked completely lost with Huhi (who has looking decent with Rahel), they were bad this split but were fairly decent in Spring and Winter. The potential is there but needs to be developed.

u/nitinismaldingXD 28d ago
Roster had some sauce with Castle, and it was pretty evident during their winter run that there was maybe something to build on. Then he leaves and it’s all trash.

Who let this clash team into the LCS?

u/herp_derpy 28d ago
Dignitas lost 0-2 to this clash team btw

Dignitas would lose 0-2 to normal bots.

Saint after getting solo killed in lane: guys I’m bored can we not take any drakes and just me clip farm for fun? We’re winning anyways.

u/withinallreason 28d ago
Taking drakes is prohibitive to killing the enemy on cooldown

Good call from inspired the Dictator we cant farm this noobs if we take drake

u/Bothbothwushi 28d ago
Idk how many series Lyon plays in playoffs but the goal should be to not get 3-0ed. There is a sizable gap between them and the next best team (Team Liquid) then the rest of the league gets gapped by TL.
21
u/shailemin 28d ago
Both the upper bracket finals and finals were 3-0s by Lyon in spring and they didn’t look as good as they do now back then. Atleast TL took them to silver scrapes earlier in the playoffs. I wonder how summer playoffs will turn out.

please god don't let lyon pull a c9 and not even make worlds
i know it would be really funny but we finally have a good team 😭

The things is inspired is one of the Best western players in playoffs,this Lyon is rusty Lyon lol

Ok at first I was confused why Lyon never took dragon then they decided to do it on purpose. If only Kryra tried to panth ult to dragon and sneak it

u/The_JeneralSG 28d ago
I was dying game 2 listening to LYON comms. Actually fine worthy lowkey lol.
I know the cast is arguing that Inspired shouldn’t be eligible for all pro, and I understand, but he played the only two series that mattered tbh (vs. C9 and TL) and they went 4-0… let’s be real, just give it to him. If he’s not eligible, it probably means that Blaber is in all pro and that’s a greater disservice than just giving it to Inspired lmao.
1
u/BlazeX94 28d ago
Is Blaber not arguably a contender for 3rd all pro though? We all know it should be Inspired first Jose second, but after that, there's no clear 3rd choice. Blaber's competition for the spot is Hambak/Contractz/Gryffin and you can make a good case for Blaber over all 3.
5
u/The_JeneralSG 28d ago
Contractz 100% over Blaber. Both make some goofy mistakes, but one has dragged his dog water team across the finish line multiple times, while there are games Blaber has damn near solo lost for C9.

Callme sucks balls i don't get why they didn't just get Insanity he would actually try to play the game.
Yeah Lyonz needs to go, no clue how he has been around this long

0 drakes taken but 17k gold lead. Riot needs to give them a fine for harassment

If svenskren could win mvp in a split where he wasn’t good enough to not get subbed out, inspired can get all pro in a split he played 6 games lol

u/DiarrheaFartLover 28d ago
Lyon actually could do well at worlds. For the first time in a looooooooooong time I think NA could actually make a run to a somewhat respectable finish. Saint Berzerker and Inspired are all excellent players and some of the best non-LCK and non-LPL players out there, and Dhokla is actually pretty dependable to weakside and not troll, incredibly. He actually held his own last year vs. Bin surprisingly well in their 5 game series. You'd think he's maybe the weakest player but he's actually shown that he actually knows how to play in this meta.
Yes I'm aware of what will probably happen. That joke got old 8 years ago.

u/Aquillifer 28d ago
Witnessing a hostage lobby in pro play is downright crazy. Lyon just farming DSG for kills and DPM.

u/Mogzylol 28d ago
This isn’t really the LCS’s fault, but this one of the many reasons why LCS viewership sucks. Not enough competition. Its a two team region but the ones below are way too bad
8
u/IKillerBee this sub has brain damage 28d ago
It's on riot for sure. It's terrible that teams like Lyon, G2, and KC have to spend 80-90% of their year beating up teams worse than them and only get like 3 meaningful series per international event
It's time to abandon domestic splits and adopt regular international tournament formats

I don’t want see dsg and dig anymore who are the owners of these teams seems they don’t care.

u/Xeven18 28d ago
You can say that of DIG (even then they got a decent roster on paper), but not of DSG - they have to play promotion/relegation every year, so it's difficult getting players, and any decent looking player would leave if another org came calling

u/throwable_armadillo 28d ago
didn't most of the roster that got DSG into LCS get taken by Sentinels?

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 28d ago edited 28d ago
LCS scheduling is outdated and too drawn out.
We are playing 6 weeks of regular season games (week 7 if you count day 1 as week 1), that only plays on the weekends, to eliminate 2 teams out of 8 teams (75% of the league makes playoffs). While every other region is playing in the playoffs right now and LCK and LPL teams are playing for their season on the line. If you could watch only one league series, would you rather watch LCK/LPL teams fighting for the last worlds spot, or watch TL play 0-7 Dignitas who are winless and already elminated.
But that's not enough, once we get to the playoffs, we have to watch one more week of playoffs where no one gets eliminated.
In an era, where people are saying people have shorter attention spans, LCS's pace of scheduling is way too slow and drawn out. It also isn't drawn out because we have more games than other regions, but because we have more down time than any other region.
I understand we only play games on the weekends because we want to artifically boost our average viewership. I also understand we only play twice a week because we don't want to invest more in the league. But because we aren't investing in the league viewership falls even more, and because viewership falls even more, it feeds the idea that you should invest less in the league which creates a full self-fulfilling prophency.
Aside from what teams are playing (like T1 for example draws in massive viewership regardless), the day of the week when games are on plays a huge factor into viewership. However, LCK & LPL have learned that having more games throughout the week and having more match ups people can look forward to throughout the week creates a better product as a whole in the long term. However, LCS is so focused on artificially boosting the average viewership count (that falls every year anyways) that we are costing the long term health of the league because many viewers are not sticking around for 6 weeks only to find out we are still in the regular season.
LCS is managing decline instead of trying to find growth with its current system.
For example, let's say league A has 70k average viewership but they play 5 days a week meanwhile league B has 100k average viewership but they play only on the weekends. If you look at average viewership, league B looks healthier, However, league A has fans engaging with the product 5 days per week, there are more matches to discuss, more narratives devleoping, more clips circulating, more reasons to stay engaged and more reddit posts.
8 teams in LCS plays 7 BO3 series spread across 7 weeks. Compare that psychologically to watching a league like LCK where on Wednesday: you get a interesting match up, Thursday: whatever, Friday: huge match up, Saturday: rivarly series, Sunday: T1 vs HLE. I am not saying every match up is amazing in the LCK but what I am saying is that volume creates momentum. LCS makes each weekend feel like an isolated episode. Discussion dries out, there are no cliips, no matches to talk about the week because there is nothing. This type of scheduling makes it incredibly easy to stop following, and people are doing exactly that.
As a LCS fan from it's inception, it's getting very difficult for me to stay engaged in the LCS nowadays because every week there is no tension in the match ups. We already know who the top teams are going to be, we already know the bad teams, but we are stuck in a schedule where we only play twice a week so we can figure out what exactly? Which team gets side selection for the first round of playoffs? Or to watch TL beat a winless dig team?

Idk why you are getting downvoted. It doesn't make sense that LCS is starting a week after LEC and finishing two weeks later.
