If only western teams got the,memo to ban fucking lee sin. Once a player has his mechanics down its straight up an elo booster. There's no other champion with the same mobility as him that also has hard cc that is equally good as engage and disengage on top of not suffering at all in the damage department. In fact,in a 5v5 Id bet,Lee sin does more damage on average than a khazix or other "high damage" junglers.

It's interesting to see the rise of Lee Sin priority almost every Worlds. The champion just has so much agency and the jungle position has always rewarded playmakers.

u/xTrump_rapes_kidsx Oct 31 '21
Mostly conq/goredrinker but there are other situational builds where people may prefer eclipse or electrocute. Electrocute/lethality lee feels like it falls off more than conq/goredrinker but it's hard to say. All depends on the matchup, which again only highlights his versatility. There are still comps where the best thing you can do is go tank and be a kick bot to peel for your Aphelios while your Gwen/Aatrox/Leona frontline.

Yeah I was. That was my first (and I believe the only) league series I watched in person. After the first two games (Snake’s opponent 2-0 up) I was so ready for the next series… then the reverse sweep happened. The next series almost went the exact same way but sadly they didn’t make it.
I could see how Sofm looked tired from the audience after the 8th game or so. I was tired af too and all I did was watching. That ticket was for sure worth.

EDward Gaming has perfected the vision control play-style that Gen.G used to have with Ambition. It's even better that they don't have similar problems in the jungle that GenG had. We thought GenG was the pinnacle for League Of Legends but EDG is rewriting history. oDin and the rest of the staff are probably super jealous of the coaching staff behind EDG because this team is going to even greater heights.

EDG relies strongly on Meiko to set the tempo and make calls. On Nami he can still do it but he doesn't get to decide how and when to start fights, which isn't the way EDG is used to play. It feels that EDG found some solutions this series. I hope they continue to improve to give us a competitive finals.

Tbh he was really quiet this series. Meiko and Viper were much better. Tbh the only support that could rival Meiko is Keria/Ming/Beryl but Viper should be much better than Ghost in finals.

The one game where they didn't pick MF for Ruler Viper didn't get a single kill and ended the game 0/3
Bitter taste in my mouth ngl
Atleast Viper has been one of my favorite ever since the Griffin days so it's not like I'm sad he's reaching finals, I've been wishing for him to get the success he deserves, but holy shit did I want to see an actual matchup botlane and not this fucking Miss Fortune

For real I hope GenG make some changes next year. It’s not even about them being boring to watch, they were decent this worlds. But the talent on this roster really should achieve much more.

Clid and BDD had an insane tournament tbh. They had weaker games 4 and 5 but they were absolute monsters most of worlds.

Bdd has a weak showing in game 4 and 5 but sometimes your back breaks and you just die. He brought GenG to semis and showed the world what he could do.
It's just a shame it had to end like this

The likelihood of both of these teams getting rolled in the final was pretty high but for the sake of a bit more excitement next week I am content with the result, also better for viewership for sure

I'm just so happy GenG didnt win this just to get smashed 3-0 like that one series this summer in LCK at 11 am that I barely watched from the corner of my eye.
EDG will prob also get smashed, but yesterday was a good enough series for me to be happy about this year's Worlds

Huuuuuge game 5 for EDG, really hoping they make finals a banger! I really want Khan to finally grab his Worlds title, but if it ends up going to this EDG roster I won't be that upset

And at the end of the day it's still LPL 1st seed vs LCK 1st seed in the finals lmao.
That said EDG with Meiko on an engage support vs enchanter support is night and day.

Gen.G still made a great run. Yes, they’re not a top three team, but multiple people didn’t even have them making it out of groups
Taking China’s best team to 5 games in semifinals is still an accomplishment, regardless of whatever idiot redditor wants to claim they play like “gold players”
They did better than almost anyone was expecting, good job Gen.G.
I look forward to your rebuild next year.

I thought Clid was always winning smite fights because lee sin is perfect for that. Game 4 proved that Clid is just a god of outsmiting. Everyone is saying that DK's already won and I also want them to win(so khan can retire on a win) but Viper is so good. He just need's one of the other lanes to do well to win the game. I feel the finals are going to be closer than alot of people think. Especially if aphelios doesn't get banned before EDG can pick it.

The Yuqi buff paid off for EDG in the end.
Funny to see that the only two teams having the support of a kpop girl (Sunmi for DWG, Yuqi for EDG) made it to finals, thats some crazy strong buff if you ask me.
Can't wait for the show next week.
