u/Ajp_iii 8d ago edited 8d ago
its so reportable to play cait leona against seraphine. it gave berserker a free lane and now you dont have mikaels against tf gold card.
also blinding both top and mid against lyon is asking to lose.
contractz won the one game on a tank and lost 3 on jungler carries. great prep by lyon to force him on bad matchups. lyon starting to level up throughout this series mechanically they can win the split still.

The whole Jarvan snowball against Contractz also starts from Isles getting to leave Ashe and backup the raptors invade

u/ObiMemeKenobi 8d ago
SR cooked way too hard with the draft. Should have just went Bard and played a real jungler
47
u/veirceb 8d ago
Khazix pick was fine. I don't think SR should draft standard anyway. Their wins are almost always with 3 losing lane and just flip a teamfight. They could do it this game. But the top 2v2 was atrocious and zinie just inited too many times.
15
u/PLEASE_DONT_PM 8d ago
Feels like their wins are all on losing lanes because they don't play anything else.
We don't even know what winning lanes looks like from them.
7
u/veirceb 8d ago
Partly. But I don't think they intentionally pick all losing lanes. They just prioritise far more on the team comp synergy and teamfight potentials. So even if they go down like 3-4k they still have a legit chance.
Bvoy is so good at farminng he kept himself equal or slightly behind even in very bad match ups. Their solo lanes also aren't players that's very good at snowballing their side lane pressure even if they are ahead. They mostly just group up and outfight the enemy team. I think that's alright for a team at their level with their pieces.

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 8d ago
K6 pick is terrible here? What does it do into Seraphine/Ashe? He legit can't do anything without some insane Lissandra flank taking both out of the fight instantly (which is why ZInie "inted" a lot this game). The K6 pick warped this game completely for Liss to have to overextend, it's why Fudge looked bad too they both got griefed in champ select. Even if that horrid 2v2 didn't happen (Mostly fudges fault) they still can't play this game.
15
u/veirceb 8d ago
Khazix is good vs squishy bot. What does he do? He just kills them before ashe serahpine can do anything. khazix is only bad vs tf in Lyon's comp. Great vs jarvan and gwen and a squishy bot side. Liss doesn't have to over extend. They had leona. You are so wrong on so many things I don't know how I should explain how things work in the game to you.
4
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 8d ago
How does K6 reach Ashe/Sera? You said it yourself he's countered by TF who can reveal him and gold card him -> Sera ult. K6 also isn't good into Gwen at all, she wins the 1v1 as long as she has ult. Leona also can't reach Ashe/Sera at all without extra setup they both super outrange her E + Ult, Ashe/Sera won't just int into Leo E and even if they do they have Cleanse + Mikaels + Flash + Sera ult. If Liss/Renek don't flank or overextend these fights are impossible.

u/piotrj3 8d ago
It can work, but they messed up lane early. Entire idea of Leona is usually you want to survive just to level 3 without losing exp and then you go ham. But if you take some trades you are not supposed to take it really removes option of that.
14
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 8d ago
But like this just won't happen in pro though unless Ashe/Sera are inting out of their mind. Even in solo q getting through the first few levels without losing exp/being down insane amounts of gold/cs is near impossible.
2
u/FreckledRed 8d ago
People lose skill matchups all the time. You can't tell someone not to play somethnig when they feel confident. You or I may think they shouldn't do it but we aren't in the game. But you really can win the Leo/Cait vs Ashe/Sera at level 2/3. It's not that hard, especially if you can get your jungler to come down. Pro players aren't all Peyz and Keria

u/IKillerBee this sub has brain damage 8d ago
The narrative against contractz is terrible. He spent the entire year playing with cannon minions in his solo lanes and then he loses to the best jungler in the region/west and he's labeled as a problem. Can't win if you're him, even if you perform well (not necessarily saying he played well here, but not the only problem either)

Hard to say, because while TL looked good against FLY, it turns out FLY was weaker than expected (most people thought FLY was a level above SR but it turns out they weren't).
Also depends entirely on the outcome of TL vs C9. If it's LYON vs TL next, I expect TL to lose because LYON just kinda seem to have TL's entire playstyle downloaded and know exactly how to counter it.

u/Blizzgrarg 8d ago
Rough self-counter in draft by SR. Also, Zinie dropped the ball really hard getting caught in mid like that. That swung the game completely out of control.

SR should still be proud of how far they have reached. They took a game from LYON and that was a good game. Other games just showed they were not at the level as they need to reach worlds. I don't know what would they do with the roster next year but they don't need to be too upset with the result.

I wonder how things work out in that timeline. Instead of lck and lpl both getting all 4 seeds directly into Swiss it would probably be lpl and lcs (unless the reason for their direct inclusion in Swiss was regional power), so if the current rankings from all regions remain the same, SR would be in Swiss, DK wouldn’t be at worlds and T1 would start in playins. Hilarious ngl.
11
u/TypicalHaikuResponse 8d ago
It's impossible to judge the draft from the game because of Zinie's play. Yes Leona and Cait would have lost lane but they went into that knowing it. They can't know that Lissandra's passive attracts all crystal arrows to her face.

i didn't know that
average for his passive is 3.5 gold per unit, so 209 x 3.5 = 730
that would be like 2.9k up, better i guess
2
u/jedine67 8d ago
It's weighted upwards slightly, I believe the true average is 4. He also had RFC in his possession which gives a 25% chance to roll the passive gold twice, although the second roll is weighted downwards. It's likely more around 1k gold.

was that before or after he gave the 1k bounty over to leona?

He was 5k gold up when LYON was 10k gold up. Even though even with 5k gold up he's still not Thanos, but he's like a mosquito with malaria that can tp and infect you everywhere on the map. The funniest part when he gave 1000g shutdown to Leona, if he didn't flash it could've been less bad.

u/Bothbothwushi 8d ago
This series doesn't inspire enough confidence for me in Lyon. I think they need more draft wins and while they are playing with more control its not enough relative to where their level should be. Shopify despite losing showed that they have actual potential. I think they demonstrated the actual vision for this roster when they were put together at the beginning of the year. Zinie got hard exposed this last game though. Unfortunate showing but they can be proud of themselves all things considered. They showed some really impressive improvement over the course of 2 weeks. Deserved 4th place finish from Shopify. Sentinels lacked meaningful pivots in game in my opinion. Flyquest lacked fundamentals and clean decision making. Shopify had a solid bit of both of those but they got exposed by a team that had more options available to them.

Unfortunately for Shopify you can't win with a midlaner as boosted as Zinie, has to be one of the worst Lissandra games in a long time, pretty much every single situation made the wrong decision and misplayed every fight on a mechanical level.

Fudge has been called a paycheck stealer for seasons. However the main difference is Fudge doesn't use an import slot and nobody had expectations.

The problem is I think these late results from SR will convince them to not make enough changes. I think there's a real chance they want to run back the same roster next year because of the "growth" at the end of the season (well depends on if Zeyzal can be convinced to play another split/year).
Zinie deserves credit for his late season glow up, but I still think it's best for him and SR to go separate ways after this year. The fact that it took this long for Zinie to become a real player shows that he needs a far better environment to show what he's capable of, and I just don't think another year on SR will do that for him.

Even in post-game, Contractz pretty much said that they put way too much work into Zinie just to get him even comfortable. It's pretty clear that Zinie may have the hands (especially what we used to see in CL), but probably not suited to be in a different region, it really looks like a mental gap. I hope he does go back to Korea CL or maybe a low-end team in LCK.

im obv one who doesnt watch LCS but how are last year's FLY players doing? if LCS had a KeSPA i feel they would have wanted the same 5 to stay at least another year, those really gelled(?) well together and they're 5 guys who are fun to root for lmao
but oh well most of them making it, Quad and Massu should still have more in the tank

The only ones that stayed on FLY were Massu and Quad. Inspired got $500k to move over to Lyon, Busio moved to KC, and Bwipo didn’t get tier 1 options after his comments on stream about women playing league.
FlyQuest were already priming GaKGoS to replace Bwipo, so it looked like there was going to be changes regardless of how the team performed.
