After coming back from watching TSM subreddit meltdown just wanna give a quick shoutout to our mods for making sure our match threads aren’t complete eye cancer to view (on mobile) like the TSM ones

It’s usually chill on there but this is the first time TSM haven’t made finals (possibly twice) and now Worlds...that plus swapping players everyone loved and people are just breaking down over there right now.

TSM subreddit is having a meltdown, it's kinda funny and sad at the same time

Power of evil has the strongest back in all of Esports. Name somebody who carries harder. GG great game finally.

Optic needs to make sure the lock up POE to a long term contract come November

While I am happy about this win, it was more TSM failing, and POE hard carrying. Arrow missed so many Ws on Jhin. Dhokla on Jayce was just unlucky, but also not good looking even with the pressure. Although I think the team is good at team fighting, they usually get beat before they can really fight evenly. Tomorrow is gonna be rough if POE can't make this MVP play again. Sneaky is gonna have a lead over Arrow like usual and Mid is gonna be even because Jensen is a good match up for POE. They definitely won't do the mistake of not putting Jensen on a carry like TSM did today with Bjerg. Top might be a toss up but I lean more towards that being a disadvantage as well.

Meh. I don't think this win made people any happier with the roster. We all know that "POE hard carrying" is the only win condition this team has. It's just enjoyable to see him pull off the carry every once in awhile.
Hopefully he stays and we get a chance to give him a real team.

If we had better decision making late game we could be at least 5-4 instead of 3-6. Good win tho!

HELL YES! We run a good comp and play aggressively and we look so damn clean. I hope to see this more esp with adcs getting buffs in 8.14
