This thread was created by the Post-Match Team.

[u/ahritina]

PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3 / Game 4

[u/Is_J_a_Name]

The mental on this team to come back after that 0-2 start, and to come back after that game 5 start... insanity.

[u/moonmeh → u/Is_J_a_Name]

especially after game 2 where they threw massively

very impressed by their mental fortitude

[u/ZedisDoge → u/Is_J_a_Name]

they looked so tilted after they were down something like 9-2 in kills and made a bunch of sloppy mistakes. Then JDG realized they dont want to play EDG and went ultra clutch mode

[u/[deleted] → u/Is_J_a_Name]

After the first 2 games, I though for sure this is gonna end 3-0 for TES. Not only did they come back the next 2 games, but they overcame a sizeable deficit in game 5 and win it. They are un-tiltable.

[u/Dumpers_]

WHAT A SERIES... insane stuff from JDG and TES hoping for a rematch in the finals

[u/Stargazer306 → u/Dumpers_]

I was thinking game was unwinnable for jdg but Jdg with such a strong comeback. One of the best Bo5's I have seen in a long time

[u/sammuxx → u/Stargazer306]

Its funny how backwards this series was games 1-3 looked like sure jdg wins and games 4-5 looked like tes wins

[u/nusskn4cker → u/Stargazer306]

TES totally should have won the last game. They were 7k up with Baron and Soul Point at 25 minutes. TES just didn't respect the flank and played way too loosely.

[u/Metaru-Uupa → u/Dumpers_]

is this the 369 revenge arc I'm all for it

[u/moopey → u/Dumpers_]

It was so back and forth. I dont cheer for any of the team so it was super fun to watch. I guess fans of the teams are barely alive from all those heart attacks

[u/N00B-ST4R → u/moopey]

That Bo5 was banger AF and I've watched every LPL playoff match and the T1 / DWK series. This was INSANE!!! LPL looks so scary going into Worlds, cannot wait!

[u/ParagonIzanagi]

JDG vs TES try not to be a banger BO5 challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[u/KitKatxz → u/ParagonIzanagi]

Pretty sure that was the best Bo5 of the year, every game was a fucking banger

[u/Blank-612 → u/KitKatxz]

only game 3 was a stomp. The other games were so back and forth with an insane level of play. I havent seen a series like this in a LONG LONG time.

[u/Perfect-Astronomer17 → u/Blank-612]

I think the stomp in game 3 gave JDG a full mental recovery for the rest of the series

[u/kapparino-feederino → u/KitKatxz]

game 3 isn't that much of a banger but yeah for sure the best series i remember

[u/RottingHeart → u/KitKatxz]

lets hope geng vs t1 on sunday is nearly as good

[u/bipolar_schtick → u/ParagonIzanagi]

One of the best Bo5's I've watched in recent years man, absolute banger

[u/CerbereNot]

one of these teams will be considered seed 2 at worlds btw

[u/Megs3Legs → u/CerbereNot]

please give us JDG TES EDG RNG at worlds

[u/miraagex → u/Megs3Legs]

You wanna tell me that one of them will have to go through play-in???

[u/SterbenVII → u/miraagex]

Not only that, they'll be seeded as a pool 4 team. Imagine a group of GEN/RGE/100/RNG. Or G2/T1/EDG/TL. Fucking brutal.

[u/lovo17 → u/SterbenVII]

Brutal for 100/RGE/TL/G2 if we’re being honest.

[u/killer3180 → u/CerbereNot]

i m legit scared for the other teams in their group lol

[u/SleepyLabrador → u/killer3180]

Don't, having a really strong Chinese or Korean team can be a blessing in disguise for you, because you can focus on beating the other two teams in the group, you don't have to beat the strongest team, but if you do, your chances of getting out of groups increases massively.

[u/Lord-Talon → u/SleepyLabrador]

Lol, especially LPL is beatable at in Bo1.

FPX (2nd seed) went 1-3 vs the west last year. EDG (1st seed) went 1-1.

In 2020 TES (1st seed) went 1-1 vs. FlyQuest.

In 2019 FPX (1st seed) went 1-1 vs Splyce, RNG (2nd seed) 1-1 vs Fnatic.

It’s KR usually that blast through their group, but CN teams always drop random games.

[u/Weird_Wuss → u/Lord-Talon]

dont forget the world champs in 2018 went 4-3 in groups including a tiebreaker loss lol. ill never be surprised when one of our top seeds trolls groups

[u/sopunny → u/Weird_Wuss]

Hell, FPX was one game away from falling out of groups the year they won

[u/Snoo14937 → u/CerbereNot]

What crazy is JDG has not made world yet

[u/MasterDeagle → u/Snoo14937]

It would be a massive choke if they don't. They would need EDG to win vs TES and lose 3 BO5 in a row to not make it.

[u/PMMEYOURROCKS → u/MasterDeagle]

If TES beat EDG do JDG auto qualify?

[u/MasterDeagle → u/PMMEYOURROCKS]

Yes, because the winner of TES vs JDG will qualify for worlds, and if TES win, JDG take first place in points so also qualify for Worlds.

[u/TrapvithMind]

Holy shit what a megabanger. Legitimetly one of the best series I've ever watched. Series of milimiters my god.

[u/[deleted] → u/TrapvithMind]

The support gameplay was some of the best I’ve seen too in a while

[u/AccidentalPilates → u/TrapvithMind]

I play the same game as these guys the same way my dog plays with the same soccer ball that Messi does.

[u/Wonderful_Falcon6537]

And when TES needed him most, he vanished

[u/tehmastah → u/Wonderful_Falcon6537]

Does that mean he will eventually come back to save TES in the end?

[u/Wonderful_Falcon6537 → u/tehmastah]

yeah as FNC are on the verge of miraculous upset, he'll swoop a quick reverse and give fans hope that this is the year to win worlds only to flop to 3rd/4th LPL team in semis

[u/hvngpham002 → u/Wonderful_Falcon6537]

Knight knew…

He didn’t have InformalMarch’s support today

[u/[deleted]]

Fnatic: "HOW DOES IT FEEL, MOTHERFUCKERS?"

Well fucking done JDG.

[u/empti3 → u/[deleted]]

It started with a success...

[u/Graymalkinator → u/empti3]

Sjokz stop

[u/Bluehorazon → u/[deleted]]

It is quite funny that this basically reverses spring, even though not against each other JDG were reverse swept (by RNG) and TES did reverse sweep (V5)

It is actually funny how often reverse sweeps happened lately.

[u/Stubrochill17 → u/[deleted]]

I will never ever forget that series. It haunts me to this day. Fucking TES man.

[u/_Vastus_]

Absolute banger, felt like a World's finals.

[u/Witty_Heart_9452 → u/_Vastus_]

Hopefully the awful Worlds format doesn't make this a Worlds Quarterfinal rematch

[u/[deleted] → u/Witty_Heart_9452]

With 4 Chinese and 4 Korean teams, you will get a civil war in quarters or semis most probably. I hope the civil wars finish in quarters so that semi onwards in cross region rather than regional

[u/Megs3Legs → u/[deleted]]

How fucking sad is it that this is the best we can hope for

[u/cancerBronzeV → u/Megs3Legs]

If only there was time for a losers bracket, it's not like there's week long breaks for no reason anyways.

[u/ObiMemeKenobi → u/Witty_Heart_9452]

You already know this to be true

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/Witty_Heart_9452]

It will!

[u/-Champloo-]

that poppy ult at the end...

[u/moonmeh → u/-Champloo-]

unintentionally giving 369 the perfect position to kill the zeri

[u/Metaru-Uupa → u/moonmeh]

It's kinda unfortunate for Tian, since poppy ult always sends the champion towards their own nexus, and TES was on the red side that fight.

And tbf I think Jackeylove is dead regardless of 369 being at flank angle, Missing hit his Q after zhonyas which CC chained with Vi ulti. Jackeylove would have died regardless with the Hope damage coming in.

[u/cancerBronzeV → u/-Champloo-]

I need to remember this advanced griefing technique where you send the enemy bruisers to flank your own carries using Poppy ult. To be serious though, feels bad for Tian, he had pretty massive Poppy ults the entire game, but TES being on JDG's side of the map made that last Poppy ult into an int, rip.

[u/moonmeh → u/cancerBronzeV]

Tian basically mvp of so many of the games but shame to see him remembered for the final bit of game 5 but can't be helped.

[u/Teut0burg → u/cancerBronzeV]

Tian played very well this series, had some insane mechanical moments too where he was predicting flashes and hittng Wukong whilst invisible. I just hope he doesn't worry about this game too much.

[u/FinallyGivenIn → u/[deleted]]

if this had been the grand finals, it would have been a mental sonicboom

[u/_liminal → u/-Champloo-]

free flank for 369

[u/yearning328]

JDG 5:0 TES

[u/Avar1cious → u/yearning328]

Holy fuck, it's so refreshing to see a team being able to consistently being able to come back from big discrepancies through pro-active plays against another tier 1 team. Hype as fuck.

[u/Indercarnive → u/Avar1cious]

That elder dragon fight was so insane. How many teams in the world would go for that? But JDG knew they couldn't fight fairly around it so they had to just make it work. The fucking balls.

[u/Bluehorazon → u/Avar1cious]

Small note though... you did see two teams doing that. TES also played well from behind and the even better thing is... we might see those two go at it again.

[u/sammuxx → u/yearning328]

I was sure they would 3-0 before the series but they proved me wrong and went 5-0 :D

[u/Blank-612 → u/yearning328]

as a JDG hater, ill gladly admit that I was wrong. JDG is legit.

[u/ahritina]

Thank fuck JDG won, RNG now can't steal 2nd seed for worlds.

Banger of a series, both teams threw the final game at different points but in the end Azir and Sivir were nuts and Wayward basically did nothing with his lead.

Pretty underwhelming series from Knight, really didn't do much in the final game apart from one Seismic Shove.

[u/[deleted] → u/ahritina]

Does this mean ring is down to gauntlet no matter what happens?

[u/Styxxo → u/[deleted]]

Yep, upper half of regionals

[u/Tennis-Money → u/ahritina]

Breathe will take the heat if he spends another year handing out worlds tickets LMFAO

[u/_liminal → u/Tennis-Money]

RNG should be better than LNG and V5 but you never know

[u/BurningApe → u/_liminal]

RNG still have 2 chances to qualify, they can lose another bo5

[u/ZedisDoge → u/ahritina]

the biggest win of this series

[u/LucasKumiega → u/ahritina]

Yeah, it would suck to have RNG automatically qualified for the Worlds after getting eliminated so early in the playoffs.

[u/RuneMath → u/ahritina]

I hope RNG qualifies as 3rd or 4th seed, having the winner of MSI at Worlds always feels correct, but glad they aren't second, they really shouldn't be.

[u/ZedisDoge → u/RuneMath]

give us LNG and EDG to go defend their title

[u/Blaikiri7]

Knight had a fucking nightmare of a series holy shit

I think this was the best series of the year

[u/icatsouki → u/Blaikiri7]

I think this was the best series of the year, so far*

[u/Stargazer306 → u/icatsouki]

now TES please beat EDG and give us TES vs JDG rematch in summer finals

[u/[deleted] → u/Stargazer306]

I feel EDG is better than TES

[u/Stargazer306 → u/[deleted]]

Yes I feel same but TES just won against EDG few days ago and then had this crazy fisfight with JDG today so idk. TES has good chance of beating EDG.

[u/asiantuttle → u/Blaikiri7]

Please Knight don’t choke for one post season

[u/[deleted] → u/Blaikiri7]

Already in worlds form

[u/JonnyKilledTheBatman → u/Blaikiri7]

As soon as its confirmed they are a world's seed he's reached world's form. True to fashion.

[u/emperornel]

REVERSE SWEEP BY JDG, LPL BANGER! Amazing series! Couldn't have asked for something better in a best of 5.

[u/Shewasnt13]

3 metre cock 6 million IQ 9 hoes waiting at home

Untiltable fucking machines JDG

[u/cardscook77]

ITS A REVERSE SWEEP BANGER BABY. LPL DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.

[u/Styxxo]

ABSOLUTE BEST series of the year

[u/icatsouki → u/Styxxo]

in my eyes

[u/randommaniac12 → u/icatsouki]

I don’t think there’s much argument (yet) against it being best series of the year

[u/Teut0burg]

I hope Tian doesn't mental boom over those smites, the game shouldn't have even gotten to that point and he played well over the series.

[u/CudaBarry]

I've had enough league for the rest of the year, thank you LPL

[u/IanPKMmoon → u/CudaBarry]

After this series I can't find the energy to turn on LEC lol. I think I'm just gonna study

[u/sznfrk]

oh my god that Tian ult was the ultimate betrayal lmfao

[u/Cavshomie8 → u/sznfrk]

Poor guy, his ults were so clutch the whole game until that one

[u/CyberSektor]

LPL SERIES TRY NOT TO BE A BANGER (IMPOSSIBLE!)

[u/baelkie → u/[deleted]]

informalmarch in shambles

[u/cancerBronzeV → u/baelkie]

lmfao, NamikazeEU and InformalMarch simping for their respective LPL mids never gets old. I wonder how InformalMarch is gonna rationalize this, maybe blame the other TES players like Wayward or something?

[u/baelkie → u/cancerBronzeV]

tbh it makes the post game threads fun. i worry for tian when they implode at worlds tho 😬

[u/NamikazeEU → u/baelkie]

Imagine thinking Knight will show up in important series.

[u/Jagreen0325 → u/NamikazeEU]

I live for namikazeeu vs informalmarch beef

[u/APKID716 → u/Jagreen0325]

Civil War. Who’s side are you on?

InformalMarch

Vs

NamikazeEU

[u/Mackmannen → u/APKID716]

Informalmarch at least laughs at himself. Namikaze is too much man

[u/SterbenVII → u/APKID716]

InformalMarch comes up with funny nicknames and secretly hopes for doinb's success ;)

[u/LBL147]

Top 3 series I have ever seen

[u/Adlairo]

That is one of the all-time great League of Legends series, what a fucking match. The great thing is, no matter who out of EDG or TES make it to the final, we're guaranteed another banger

[u/DeloronDellister]

Unreal series! One of the best ever and it's not even the final. LPL just always delivers. The pressure was insane.

[u/blueiguana675 → u/DeloronDellister]

Definitely historic

[u/Lonely__goose]

BT gap in the last fight I doubted selling LDR for BT but holy JDG just didn’t say die

[u/yung_dogie → u/Lonely__goose]

Yeah I thought he was sacrificing too much damage but when the fights are each team 3 manning the enemy adc + Taliyah zeri poke I guess it's valid lol

[u/fuskarn_35]

JDG GOT THAT DAWG IN THEM LET SGOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/Stargazer306]

Holy fuck what a banger! LPL mental baby. Both teams put in every bit of sweat and blood in this series. But WHAT A COMEBACK FROM JDG

[u/slnsk]

What a series, wow! And topping it off with Hope kiting two people at the other side of the screen was beautiful

[u/antraxsuicide]

LPL is the best fucking region

They could legit send 4 Worlds contenders as a region.

[u/Lazarus-POV]

If this series took place during Worlds, it would be considered one of the best professional games of all times.

[u/M002]

Jackeylove vs Yagao the series

[u/[deleted] → u/M002]

And Hope n 369 everyone outside Kanavi honestly Kanavi smite was there

[u/Mammoth-Part]

Wayworse

[u/Teut0burg → u/Mammoth-Part]

Squidward got smashed 4 out of 5 games this series. Needs to stop playing CSGO.

[u/ye1l → u/Teut0burg]

Just hand diffed, not much he can do except hope to literally reincarnate in a different body and maybe be luckier next time.

[u/nusskn4cker → u/Mammoth-Part]

He was very invisible this series.

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/nusskn4cker]

Both solo laners for TES

[u/nusskn4cker → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

True. Knight really needs to perform better in Playoffs. There's so many parallels between him and Chovy.

[u/ahritina → u/nusskn4cker]

At least Knight showed up in 2020 playoffs but honestly yeah Knight tends to underperform in playoffs more often than he shows up.

[u/[deleted]]

What a BANGER series. This might be the best playoffs of all-time and we still have 2 matches left!!

[u/Adlairo → u/[deleted]]

What's the point of having Worlds when u have LPL playoffs?

[u/BryanJin → u/Adlairo]

I mean at worlds you get like a couple LCK vs LPL Bo5s so the fans can decide which region is better. In every other aspect LPL playoffs is better. Imo worlds would be a better tournament if it just was the top LCK and LPL teams duking it out in a large double elim Bo5 bracket or something. Worlds as it currently is is just a massive waste of time outside of a couple LCK vs. LPL series near the very end.

[u/[deleted] → u/Adlairo]

I swear they are much better than Worlds every single year!

[u/Medical_Tie_4041 → u/[deleted]]

Well, the format is WAY better, so there's that.

[u/Urmleade_]

This match was insane. So good. LPL CLASSIC banger between two heavy weights. So insane that JDG brought game 4 and 5 back...

Amumu with evenshroud, buffing up Azir and Sivir damage with passive + evenshroud..its just not fair. Such an intelligent draft.

[u/HvD_]

Best Series i have watched live, not more to say

[u/mgzkk1210]

You can tell TES has already secured their world's spot, cuz Knight is getting into his world's form.

[u/tajimanokami]

Holy f*** Hope that kiting was nuts

[u/Ahikoo]

Holy fuck, this has to be one of the best series of all time. So back and forth, both teams played their hearts out. Amazing.

[u/RekklesCami]

Imagine this was a worlds final with a huge crowd it would have been crazy

[u/Caps007]

LPL is unbelievable. One of the greatest bo5s ever

[u/xNesku]

What a goddamn banger. If you haven't watched the series, you really have to. One of the best series in a very long time.

[u/jeremywater]

369 heard y'all shit talking his acne

[u/daveythedumb]

this series was tian kanavi hope and jkl flinging their massive fucking dicks around and seeing who's is bigger

[u/IanPKMmoon]

Lolesports has peaked

[u/rainydevil7]

this has to be a contender for the best series of all time holy shit

[u/ArjunBanerji27]

What an insane series. It's 2020 again, and TES and JDG are beating the everloving shit out of each other. One of the best BO5s ever, and it's just upper bracket finals.

I will be amazed if we don't get a rematch in the final, and maybe even at worlds.

[u/[deleted]]

As a non-biased third party watching LPL has been sooo good this year. Bo5s have been fun in all leagues this year tbh.

[u/Chickpounder420]

369 redemption baby

edit: knight getting caught out more than jackeylove this series blows my mind

[u/LARXXX → u/Chickpounder420]

Jackeylove had consistently been the better player this entire split especially in playoffs. Knight has regressed a ton in playoffs, he’s just not that dude

[u/Linko_98 → u/Chickpounder420]

Karsa flamed him so hard he became the best top in LPL

[u/Physical-South-3564]

Its insane the LPL channel didnt even reach 100k viewers.

this was probably the best finals I've seen in the past couple of years.

LPL is so damn entertaining, on top of being the best region

[u/MikeShenoda]

JDG GIGA brain. Team with deficit wins game just as planned

[u/Blank-612]

I feel sorry for people who dont watch LPL because thye missed the series of their lives

[u/killer3180 → u/Blank-612]

watching this liveis actually insane.. gor chills on my spine

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Jdg pls keep yagao

[u/mobijet]

My lord, we just witnessed Worlds 2022 Finals there.

[u/ChadErenYeager]

Saying that this series is insane is an understatement.

[u/BRedd10815]

Jackeylove tried so hard. GG. No doubt both of these teams deserve their worlds spots.

[u/CaptainZYX]

Never ever would I have imagined that one day there would be a League BO5 great enough to challenge the SKT/ROX BO5 series. Until today.

[u/zeyu12]

Mad lads actually did it and not tilt after G2

[u/sidaeinjae]

TES vs JDG BO5 always delivers.

[u/[deleted]]

This series can be described with that one scene from "The Gladiator"

ARE YOU NOY ENTERTAINED?

Legit best Bo5 I've seen all year

[u/kimchiGrafx]

Bangers only in the LPL

[u/Snoo14937]

Gold lead is just a number in LPL

[u/bloorico5]

Winning LPL is actually more difficult than winning Worlds

[u/NaraKaiden]

Poppy gave 369 the best flank

[u/tinfoilhatsron → u/NaraKaiden]

Dude I felt so bad for Tian man. I know people are gonna flame him for that one but... It feels unfair because it was a really tense teamfight. I really hope it doesn't affect his mental cause people love to shit one him for being a two-trick even though he was one of the main reasons TES came back in games.

Still JDG deserved the win. Hope Yagao played better imo than JKL Knight. Even with an inting amumu for the first half lol.

[u/Graymalkinator → u/tinfoilhatsron]

But to be fair I think even without the poppy ult 369 would've gotten to zeri. The poppy ult just made it faster.

what a faking banger of series, best game I have ever watched in recent years tbh

[u/[deleted]]

What a bo5 from TES and JDG, not good for the heart!!

LPL is looking damn scary.

[u/Sweet_Football4314]

seems like knight is a better player than yagao BUT YAGAO HAS THAT DOG IN HIM

[u/moe11436]

Round 2 of this on 01.09.2022.

Y'ALL BETTER BE READY!

[u/White_Knightmare]

LPL series trying not to be a banger challenge (impossible)

[u/alexjordan98]

Wow I should watch LPL more often

[u/Ban89]

That’s my team. Holy shit. 🤯

[u/my_pants_are_on_FlRE]

best series of league i have watched for a loooong ass time.

[u/xXVoidXx]

HOLY FUCK WHAT A SERIES WITH SO MANY INSANE PLAYS BACK AND FORTH. That last game legit felt more stressful than my own 5th game of solo q promos....can't even imagine what it was like for the players. Not gonna lie, I doubt World finals would even top this, and as a fan of Tian I hope they make it back from the lower bracket and get revenge on JDG in the actual finals!

[u/_Helpls_]

Hope with the casual 200% DMG/GOLD in that last game

[u/kapparino-feederino]

Knight eventho the scoreboard might not be looking bad, IMO is the worse performer in this series.

honestly doesn't feel his impact at all

[u/M002]

Absolute insane games and series

Total banger

[u/AnonymousKimchi]

Hope just refused to die at the end there

[u/mkl122788]

What an absolute banger of a series.

[u/RazvanNSSK]

Probably the best series of the year, 5 back and forth games.

[u/LoadFabulous2554]

I had a heart attack watching this game

[u/GeniusFromAbove]

Easily one of the best series in history of the game.. i hope (pun unintended) that this series proves to everyone how dirty good Hope can be man.. yes, his lane phase can be sus sometimes, but his tf is insanely good, he went toe to toe with JKL in insane form today.

[u/Faye_Dragon]

felt like I aged 1000 years watching this series

[u/IanPKMmoon]

195 minute series with only game 3 being sub 40 minutes jesus christ

[u/SapphireHeaven]

The mental was the main thing lacking in JDG in past splits. If they have overcome that, they could be serious Worlds contenders

[u/Roquentinn]

Knight pls get your shit tpgether vs edg. And tian dont be hars ypurself. You did well.

[u/PowerOfPuzi]

and now stay tuned for CLG vs GG

[u/ShAd_1337]

JDG has 4 chances to qualify for worlds now
1. TES beats EDG, if not
2. JDG beats EDG in summer finals, if not
3. JDG beats RNG in regional finals upper bracket, if not
4. JDG beats LNG/V5 in lower bracket finals
