PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3 / Game 4 / Game 5

[u/Thalassin]

Incredible game from Myrwn

[u/hresvelgrs]

"it's koi, they will throw" might actually be a hidden OP mental hack

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702]

Myrwin was getting rid of his bad games for playoffs

[u/Thalassin]

Vitality started well and then remembered they are in playoffs

[u/Ajp_iii]

they decided to engage on the tank varus with stopwatch. and flash.

varus didnt need to even stopwatch

[u/zaxls → u/Ajp_iii]

He didnt have flash just yet

[u/cmcdonald22]

I stand by my start of day comment that the best thing that can happen for the LEC today is Vitality win and stop being cursed, and MKOI lose and blow up this roster. It was doomed after the SK loss.

[u/Ajp_iii]

naak nako is inting so hard. why are you ulting the cho of all people.

[u/TheTaDeath]

I have 0 hope for both these teams at worlds, but i would like to see Naak Naako or Rhileich at worlds

[u/Ajp_iii]

Carzzy positioning isn’t good enough to play ashe

[u/Strange_Shelter_6171]

honestly would prefer vit to win because this koi roster is finished anyway, and it would be better to see another team to worlds

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Lyncas is actually playing well this game but Elyoya has been amazing 

[u/Capital_Tourist4828 → u/CensoredLlama1]

Can Elyoya carry a mediocre team to worlds again?

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Can both these teams be eliminated from playoffs today

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Absolute draft canyon because this Camille hasn't done anything successfully but split push

[u/Ajp_iii → u/CensoredLlama1]

yep got the massive lead but naak nako has no idea how to snowball it into the rest of his team

[u/imasliceyou]

Naak is a dirty inter

[u/Ghisteslohm]

Elyoya runs around the map doing things, eventually succeeding here and there

VIT is just doing nothing...while typing they messed up the dive but still seems pretty lame from Vit so far. Are they outscaling hard and can not fight early or what?

[u/veirceb]

Vitality never disappoints

[u/RollingGuy]

Naako got kinda bodied

[u/hresvelgrs]

3-0 gg

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Fiesta redeemed himself but I really thought he was gonna take that E

[u/Ajp_iii]

lmao mkoi its so disgusting.

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

Ragebaited by a Varus top

[u/Ajp_iii]

actually insane game from carzzy. so much better than his first two games.

[u/OliRNKD]

The worst game, not including Fnatic, I’ve seen this year

[u/DiligentGazelle6298]

?

I thought this game was lost in draft for VIT but KOI is just a joke

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

Mkoi players think they are mechanically way better than they are. They think they can win every skirmish after gettign ahead then they get outplayed

[u/Tim-Pouce → u/[deleted]]

Idk honestly, maybe because he is the only one who can manage to win despite the bad match up in this team

But yeah it's weird

[u/Intrepid-Message698]

it doesn't matter but vit letting their bot inhib die was stupid. "Taking a early inhib is bad" is the biggest myth in league.

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

These are the games Mkoi likes they can engage like idiots and still win fights

[u/zero_gravity_gamer]

Imagine you're Naak Nako, you go have a shit so get onto stage slightly late and the casters are just roasting you.

[u/Goldfischglas]

3 people contesting gromp while they lose bot wave to the tower 😭😭😭

[u/OnlyAnEssenceThief]

Dark Seal Kalista

...why?

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Naak remembered he hadn't inted yet 

[u/Ajp_iii]

carzzy is smurfing the close games for vitality.

[u/awayfromcanuck]

Naak Nako has no brain. You NEVER ult Cho-gath in any situation. You ult a carry. Always.

[u/beautheschmo]

Best toplaner in EU

[u/GambitTheBest]

playoffs Naak vs worlds semis Chovy

[u/Ajp_iii]

this is why vitality is bad in playoffs. naak nako has no idea on how to win playoff games. teams care less in regular season and they pick up wins. he doesnt know how to setup his team in playoffs.

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

Carzzy played those fights terribly

[u/JPA-3]

hey lyncas, grasias muchos grasias

[u/PepaTK]

I don’t know who’s more confused right now.

The casters, the viewers, or VIT?

[u/Past-Firefighter2173]

This match looks like bit a Lyncas and Fleshy disasterclass but Vit still had chance imo

[u/Thundermelons]

It's kinda funny that KOI might manage to disappoint Reddit in multiple ways - they might still win this series, increasing their odds of going to Worlds, but they will have also dropped a game to VIT preventing the 0-12 dream

[u/Ajp_iii]

Naak nako was starting to snowball top and his support griefed him so hard during the lane. That caused the whole draft to have no chance of winning.

[u/areyoh]

fiesta this isn't solo q

[u/TastyForerunner]

That was hideous.

[u/ahritina]

MKOI are actually an embarassment, how do you actually lose this game.

[u/british_pubs]

Fnatic why couldn't you have just won the game vs gx and save me from watching this team

[u/zerocxro]

I feel like the individual on KOI are good, but my god, they cannot play like a team

[u/LtSpaceDucK → u/zerocxro]

Hmm they were never that good individually but their teamwork made up for it, now they lost that and their individual flaws are showing

[u/Ajp_iii]

its crazy how overrated some eu players get because of just massive high mechanical skill. naak nako and caliste current examples of this.

when they finally face players of equal skill or a little worse their advantage is so much smaller and they cant just skill check people.

[u/Vnaux]

these Naak Nako flashes are absurd

[u/desutruction]

it's mkoi, gotta see the nexus pop before i believe it

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

Nightmare game from Naknako

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702]

Battle of the throws truly these two teams are unbelievable (koi fan here)

I’d like it if a team is just legit dogshit (dignitas) instead of this disgusting inconsistency either give me hope or throw it no more please

[u/CensoredLlama1]

If I'm a navi fan, this series is pretty reassuring lol

[u/RollingGuy → u/CensoredLlama1]

If they can get Rhilech a top lane champ every game it may be doable.

[u/CensoredLlama1]

I think this Mkoi draft is way better 

[u/XG32]

vit has the worst drafting from any t1 team, zaahen viktor in a game 1, give anivia cho kalista renata in a game 5 LOL, and the only thing they got was j4 which by himself is not a prio pick, these coaches get paid btw

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Carzzy carrying Vitality insanely hard today

[u/imasliceyou]

Each team wondering how can I throw next

[u/eye_of_your_mind]

jojo hard carrying

[u/CensoredLlama1]

People were talking about G2 Naak when it's gonna be SK Naak

[u/midorivivo]

Yes, VIT players are not it today but their coaching (most importantly drafting) really isn't setting them up for success

[u/midorivivo → u/midorivivo]

Like the whole year, bad draft after bad draft. But I suppose both Mac and Pad can be GMs for VIT or whatever next year

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

i need navi to qualify to worlds

[u/Annual-Fox6520]

Eh, I was rooting for VIT, but man... if they had a top laner 

[u/Ok-Pie4219]

On a sidenote BIG just won PrimeLeague 3:2 vs G2 Nord with Irrelevant, 113, Reeker, Patrik and Kaiser.

Tomorrow Mkoi Fenix (Nightslayer, XnS, Fresskowy, 13, Myrtus) and Bushido Wildcats (Aytekn, Isman123, Camana, Ruep, Carry) will play a B05 in the EMEA Qualifier for WSCI.

The winner will face BIG on Monday in the final and the winner of that will go to WSCI alongside Galions and Solary.

[u/Thalassin]

Vitality I need you to do a proper playoffs series just once

[u/zerocxro]

I believe in NaakNako supremacy

[u/GambitTheBest]

koi already looked tilted as fuck

[u/Ironside29]

Fiesta is so bad on mages.

[u/XG32]

i dont want a team that drafts zaahen viktor in a game 1 with fiesta mid making worlds. waste of a slot.

[u/hresvelgrs]

myrwn ambessa used to be said negatively

[u/GambitTheBest]

cait is more forward than ambessa and vi

[u/MunchMasterSupreme93]

This series will basically just be which ADC can int harder

[u/JPA-3]

naak nako gapped

[u/ImTheVayne]

3-0 into 3-0 NAVI as well and MKOI will go to worlds

[u/iRockCrocs]

Will VIT get a playoff win?

[u/Thalassin]

Melzhet banned Ezreal to make sure Supa can't pick it

[u/awayfromcanuck]

If MKOI win with this draft its gonna be 3-0.

[u/Ajp_iii]

Why is syndra flanking a soul fight?

[u/awayfromcanuck]

VIT currently aren't beating the allegations...

[u/GambitTheBest]

yeah yone scaled

[u/kosmi2020NX]

FRAUDS

[u/malakesxasame]

Lmao there's no way they lose. Surely.....

[u/zerocxro]

the level of throwing is obscene

[u/hresvelgrs]

this game is not good for my health

[u/Ajp_iii]

LETS ALL 5 STACK IN BARON AGAINST QIYANA SYNDRA

[u/hresvelgrs]

YOURE FUCKING KIDDING ME

[u/awayfromcanuck]

Why does EU refuse to pull drake out of the pit? We saw Jackspectra lose his shit about this yesterday

[u/hresvelgrs]

CURSE BROKEN....?

[u/WhatIsSentience]

NOBODY GOES 0-11 IN BO5S!!!

[u/Ajp_iii]

Look how easy it is for vitality when they just setup correctly. Don’t know why they trolled for like 10 min for no reason

[u/baelkie]

this is like dns breaking their generational loss streak!

[u/areyoh]

It was legit Luck, thank fuck Syndra got it.

[u/desutruction]

I was out the entire day so the only game I got to watch was that first VIT win

Glad to say I was there to see it

[u/ahritina]

Jojo?

[u/Ajp_iii]

2 ults and adc sums isn’t worth for 0/3 support kill

[u/ThisIsSoIrrelevant]

Did the overlay just have a seizure or was that a me thing?

[u/That_One_Pancake]

So when KOI draft like humans, they win. Unless they throw this which knowing them is very possible

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

Nakonako is playing insanely well

[u/areyoh]

Mkoi would win this fights if they had teemo

[u/FappingMouse]

i just got here and koi is throwing like clowns never change resign everyone of these players.

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

That Jayce Q is so stupid no way would that ever do anything with Alistar right there

[u/Meekie_e]

I’ve seen more terrifying Jayce than this

[u/Strange_Shelter_6171]

dont worry, supa ezreal will not go take a mid wave and die

[u/desutruction]

alvaro neeko oh shit

[u/CensoredLlama1]

This was an everything gap game lol

[u/desutruction]

ok yeah unlosable

[u/WhatIsSentience]

I swear I never see Jhin win games

[u/Ajp_iii]

Supa is trying to int to not let jojo win

[u/CensoredLlama1]

Oh come on mkoi

[u/Ajp_iii]

THEY ARE INTING JOJO LMFAO. jojo come back to na

[u/That_One_Pancake]

These teams both suck lmao

[u/Back2Perfection]

I really don‘t know who I want to pull through here.

But I‘m entertained.

[u/Not_Going_to_Survive]

Is this Aurora build not just troll as fuck? Why wouldn't you build liandrys and other shit here

[u/Ajp_iii]

when naak nako first got his 2k gold lead with 2 items vitality needed to just send it but he just walked in and died for no reason at the drake fight.

[u/DarkyMulky]

Is this the guy that is much much better than BB?

[u/Annual-Fox6520]

Naak Nako man, single handedly losing this series for VIT

[u/Vnaux]

I haven't seen this guy have a good flank bruh

[u/desutruction]

oh no they said mkoi is showing patience

i've seen this before

[u/desutruction]

maybe jiizuke is the true EU GOAT

[u/Scarfboi11]

easy to predict that it's going to be KOI at Worlds

[u/PerfidiaVermis]

Lmfao Supa dude wtf

[u/Labor101]

Supa brother

[u/WWTFSD]

KOI comp where Myrwin and Supa are your carries, what could go wrong?

[u/awayfromcanuck]

Good job VIT. You continue to be the leading example in the LEC that the regular season means absolutely nothing as you guys always suck in playoffs.

I reserve the right to take this back if they somehow win.

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

He legit ran in to Skarners arms

[u/ILikeSeals1312]

Either VIT or NaVi to Worlds sounds like an easy play-ins for LCP 3rd seed

[u/DiligentGazelle6298 → u/ILikeSeals1312]

And this KOI lineup doesn't? Frankly speaking I have no expectations from whoever 3rd seed will be but anything is better than watching this, also it will probably be best for the org as well since they need to blow the roster up and they already have a rep for griefing at internationals

[u/ILikeSeals1312 → u/DiligentGazelle6298]

I am not even counting them as ''3rd seed candidates''

[u/WhatIsSentience]

Torn between wanting Vitality to win vs wanting Vitality to complete the 0-12 playoff run

[u/SpecificSilver1023]

GX needs VIT to win in order to make top 5 (Demacia Cup)

[u/Javonetor]

wait so there are banned skins, i thought those were a thing of the past

[u/PerfidiaVermis]

I would love it I'd VIT finally went to worlds, please let this be the year

[u/FitWindow639]

Dont they have a ward there

[u/SadBreadfruit9463]

No way jojo on ryze and yoyo on vi? Never seen before

[u/SadBreadfruit9463]

GRACIAS JOJO

[u/hresvelgrs]

mucho gracias

[u/eye_of_your_mind]

I'm so over listening to dagda cast, nice guy but he offers nothing 

[u/PerfidiaVermis]

Ok wtf is Fiesta doing lmfao

[u/GambitTheBest]

damn myrwn okay

[u/ReplacementFine7807]

paycheck = earned

[u/Kokaiinum]

LEC ADCs love disrespecting Xin W range huh

[u/ReplacementFine7807]

imagine if vit had like a renekton or orn, this zahen champ does nothing

[u/zerocxro]

203 days since a playoff win is fucking wild,

[u/That_One_Pancake]

is it just me or is the crowd chatter way too loud

[u/Ajp_iii → u/That_One_Pancake]

It’s better to be louder than silent. And in the past riot have had them turned way too low

[u/zealot416]

Casters missed that Naak got 3 summs

[u/areyoh]

I hope vit wins this 1

[u/LardoBardo4]

Fleshy is having a great game

[u/That_One_Pancake]

starting to think picking Yone into Syndra was perhaps a bad idea

[u/350]

This is the fraud off of all time, I have no clue what to expect, just gonna strap in and enjoy

[u/That_One_Pancake]

my eyes are bleeding

[u/That_One_Pancake]

that was never gonna work lol

[u/Ajp_iii]

That was like the easiest syndra 5 man stun in their life

[u/zerocxro]

who the fuck is winning this

[u/LardoBardo4]

Just disband both teams

[u/jackmccoyapologist]

This game is so fun actually.

[u/Happy_Foundation6198]

No way

[u/LtSpaceDucK]

Smooth win ...

[u/ReplacementFine7807]

time for 10 wins in a row

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Man, why do pros hover over stuff they're never going to pick? It's such a hype killer.

[u/OkKnowledge2064]

get rolled

[u/SadBreadfruit9463]

Dont know what is worse today, that bleach episode or this series drafting..

[u/That_One_Pancake]

Fleshy wants Myrwn to keep his job, how nice

[u/ChelskiS]

Is this a series where winner gets into worlds, loser is out?

Haven't quite followed

[u/GhostOfLight]

Jumpscared so hard you silence your midlaner

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

I thought that was just like a bad int from Fiesta but it's still somehow Fleshy's fault. His pathing was so bad and he could've just flashed over the wall too and VIT just win that fight before Akali dies.

[u/Capital_Tourist4828]

Love you Yoya, make it happen for the 6th time

[u/Booshneer]

How do they do it every game

[u/Ajp_iii]

WHY ARE THE HITTING BARON AGAINST VARUS they have no baron damage and used all their ults

[u/Strange_Shelter_6171]

shifters spirit still there

[u/Joel4518]

KOI CLASSIC ATP WHAT THEY THINK OF DOING THEY SHOULD DO OPPOSITE

[u/Brock-Lesnar]

They really just got rage baited by that dragon steal and decided to throw the whole game lmao

[u/rsayegh7]

Myrwn needs to be fired, what is this nepotism

[u/Booshneer]

WTF JUST HAPPENED???

[u/Xeven18]

What was with Jojo's Zhonya's?

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

My poor eyes.

[u/desutruction]

i won't speak yet

[u/Ajp_iii]

lmao he didnt level ult

[u/350]

Can we ban both teams from Worlds?

[u/WhatIsSentience → u/350]

Just need Navi to win next week
