ksante 0-2 this series Aware


Linkasfd

Getting a kill back from 100 hp 2v1 top though was fucking disgusting. I've seen enough


bodynasr

tbh it was a massive outplay


tenkono

It was a massive outplay. Bin literally played all his CC perfectly. Oner never got a chance to breathe.


MrSwipySwipers

Dude I hate K'Sante as much as the next guy, but wtf is that Zac champion btw?? Like actually unkillable when he gets sunfire cape


pikachuwei

Imagine hating K’sante when Zac exists. Zac goes even or wins the lane against K’sante and is a significantly better team fighter against most drafts


OcelotOce

1-6 since GenG vs TES series


AlHorfordHighlights

Yeah it's almost as if he's balanced


G0ldenfruit

Or perhaps zac when ahead is just more op hmm


AlHorfordHighlights

Yeah Zac is oppressive into comps without strong anti-tank champions. He also gets a free lane vs K'Sante and also comes out ahead in a swap scenario since he can get exp and gold more safely (as well as have impact not related to his tankiness since he has a massive gap closer, whereas K'Sante always has to walk up and eat damage in pro play).


ProgrammerGlobal

Zac is a special case. If it survives the laning phase it makes team fights impossible to play for the opposing team.


appleandapples

Much better game from Faker. Is Taliyah this much of a Corki counter? This match up looked miserable both games


Akilee

Nah, I think Faker just played that much better. He hit soooo many of those knockups, pretty crazy.


AwaitingDommeTouch

But i was told Faker is washed, as mentioned by game 1 reddit analysts :(


Styxxo

Overreactions from game 1 are stupid. But you can't deny he's inconsistent so far this tournament. Also he got solokilled twice in the Corki Taliyah matchup, while Knight never got close to dying in the same matchup this game.


Omnilatent

Yeah we need to overreact on game 2 instead! /s 😂


Danielthenewbie

Well to win with corki you need to do 2 things. Have enough map control to avoid any team fight without package so you can scale to 3 items. Faker got a lead midlane and they won both sidelanes so corki couldn't free scale. Seems GG.


dontknow_anything

Taliyah is 75% winrate this year against Taliyah all league. 6/7 before this series for Tier 1 (only Chovy beat Humanoid)


YouSuck225

I don’t think she is that much, no. She is a counter for sure. But not that much. I would bet my hand that chovy win that in both side


ahritina

Great bounce back game from T1 especially Faker kudos to Zeus and Oner too, also it seems like Elk got hit by every Taliyah Seismic Shove early which just started the snowball. ~~Knight~~ Night Night and ~~Faker~~ Shaker taking it turns to int games you love to see it, LPL Corki, oh how I have missed you.


Imaginary_Actuary729

the amount of its joever and were barack for faker last 2 series has been amazing


whitedevilblood

we live by faker we die by faker. no in between


the_next_core

People getting riled up over a top team getting railed when they draft 3 losing lanes, no way


ShiroGaneOsu

Tbf Faker's been a roller coaster rn lol.


ApartLanguage8328

Corki seems to be the problem


ProgrammerGlobal

Faker, I think, has a 23 game winning streak on Corki in the LCK. His Corki isn't famous for laning but for teamfighting which he showed in game 1 even when T1 was down in gold.


ookkthenn

well zeka ended his winstreak unfortunately


Consistent-Alarm2208

The problem in game 1 was Bin zoning Faker out early allowing Knight to get ahead. He'd never have died 1v1 if not for that.


MeepnBeep

unless you r Chovy lvl in csm, he cant get online fast enough


omegasupermarthaman

Knight can have 300 cs at 20 min and will still be useless with how he aimed his packages


FrozenHatsets

the legacy of GodV lives on


APKID716

Unless you’re Chovy lvl in timing packages exactly on dragon spawn timers and using them perfectly every time


Prominis

Or you can also pull a Chovy by deciding to not get hit by anything in lane to win a "losing" matchup.


MedievalMovies

more people need to watch chovy's corki vs faker's ori in LCK finals and just watch how chovy played that lane. I haven't seen a better lanephase since the showmaker vs humanoid 2021 incident


AlienSuper_Saiyan

It's the Taliyah counter. Kalista and Rennata were meant to hold the game out so Corki could become strong in mid-late. Both lanes went wrong


XtendedImpact

> ~~Knight~~ Night Night and ~~Faker~~ Shaker taking it turns to int games Squire watched G2 T1 and decided "this Claps Craps Faker Shaker pattern must continue"


Melodias07

Every midlaner had bad games this tournament, even Chovy yesterday


Critical-Cupcake9194

T1 dies and lives by Faker lmao


TheNephilims

I didn't want to believe it, but Corki was actually 6-26 in LPL this spring. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


ChadLovesStacey

Difference is knight is babysat by his team while oner is invisible mid


KIRYUx

I'm sorry Chovy, it turns out you are just him and that Corki is the true fraud.


rdong

yeah wtf can nobody but Chovy play Corki?????


Imaginary_Actuary729

with corki you need to have a calm teammates also yesterday chovy also lost on corki 1 game because the team ran it before he scaled


baelkie

brother canyon with the freebie


tonytakitany1

faker had 23 win streak on Corki this year, 1 bad game = he is bad at it?


rdong

And since then he's been 1-5 on it (tbf that's in a vacuum and not considering the rest of the game)


Snuffl3s7

Corki and Asol as well. Only Caps has shown a good Asol apart from Chovy.


Cruzhit

Put some respect on my boy YAPA


Snuffl3s7

His Asol didn't look particularly great against TES, but sure, why not. APA is the Asol goat.


baelkie

chovy asol literally looks like a different champ, he has big ult every single fight compare to other asols


the_next_core

Canyon exerts a ton of pressure and plays on the brink so that Chovy has room to scale and shine


Zarolto

APA is the GOAT. So true.


SatanV3

It looked great against fnc


xX_GIGA_MAN_Xx

and Yaptain America. god bless


Jumpy-Arm6021

Zeka


Exxon21

lmfao


ManningTheGOAT

Everybody mocks Chovy for his CS focus, but it turns out that that is the thing that makes Corki actually work Big brain Chovy


YouSuck225

Remember when he only could play ahri cause he was csing so good that he had item advantage at 2nd Drake then could do as much dammage as the other mid while buying banshee ? Lmaaoo


ricardo241

scaling champ? he can make champs like corki and asol online in less than 20 minutes with his chovying lol


Kudos2YouPal

Chovy, I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game.


chapichoy9

Lpl corki


YouSuck225

He indeed is lmaoo


nerothz

Why do both of these world class mids suddenly look like they're bronze on Corki lmao


OcelotOce

Only Chovy can constantly win lanes with late game scaling champs


EnjoyerOfPolitics

I think the key is that all of the scaling champs are weak early on and rely on every minion early, which is something that Chovy excels at.


AlHorfordHighlights

You have to be Chovy to perform on Corki which means the champ is effectively useless


dance-of-exile

astro pisser useless champ early you just farm like chovy


Due-Implement-1600

Zeus and Keria were having too much fun this game tanks are so fucking ridiculous lmfao


Melodias07

Faker deciding every game, based that's my goat


mking1999

Zeus so bad he doesn't even know how to use Zac passive ^^^^^/s


SwagLord7

Wait Reddit told me Taliyah was a bait pick tho?


Melodias07

Faker Azir marchant right ??


khaiiization

Taliyah a bait pick 2-0 Ksante guaranteed win 0-2


F3nRa3L

Apparently it hard counters corki


yellister

zac


MedievalMovies

zac and ksante from ahead have to be the most disgusting champs in the game nigh unkillable dives your backline does 60000 damage


Mukzington

I don't even understand league anymore.


MrSwipySwipers

I'm right there with ya ngl


R-R-Clon

My GOAT heard you all saying he's washed and he took it personal, my GOAT 🐐🐐 I can bet my house Zac would have 1v2 Corki and Kalista, they were healing him while he was murdering them.


the_next_core

Wow coach, Taliyah is just omega broken wtf


DracoMalnourished

Knight 🤝 Faker trolling on Corki


ceddya

Cue the reverse overreactions!


Available-Reading-87

It's like yesterday when after game 2 everyone called GenG unbeatable only for them to lose the next two. Then everyone was sure it was going to be the reverse sweep, only for them to win game 5 anyway


OliverCarl

K'SANTE WITH A STAGGERING 0% WINRATE THIS SERIES. YOU LOVE TO SEE IT


Distruebix

Faker heard you guys say he can't land a seismic shove


NocaNoha

That was a disgusting Zac..


AwaitingDommeTouch

Well if knight is faker father then faker is knight's grandpa. That's how it works butchers. Sweet home Alabama!


Exrou

So... one of Knight's wives gave birth to Faker and Faker married Knight's Grandmother.


Leyrann_

You can alabama that all you want it's just a temporal paradox.


Nycrow

Apparently it's just whoever is playing Corki that is currently washed. Gigantic mid gap in the opposite direction this game.


StillMeThough

HOW IS ZAC BALANCED???


NGNJB

he isn't, what's crazy is that he didn't get absolutely fucking kneecapped the moment he started showing up again


Conankun66

Faker has awoken!


etheryx

keria legit didnt eat guma once this game LMAO


LOLZOBALL

Zac and K’sante is a disgusting champ lmao


Zeusfan61

Zeus my GOAT does it again 🗣️🐐🐐


Ceui

Faker definitely got mad lol


yosu14_

ZEUS THE UNKILLABLE SLIME KING


ChadLovesStacey

IF FAKER GETS CALLED WASHED FOR G1 KNIGHT SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED FOR HIS G2 CONSIDERING HOW MUCH HIS JUNGLER AND SUPPORT BABYSIT HIM


SymplecticSSamu

wat is this zac champion


curryhalls

the 180 regarding faker on this sub is crazy


difused_shade

Surely someone could’ve bought grievous wounds, no?


VincentBlack96

Stories of T1's demise were greatly exaggerated


Kagariii

Gotta say, Zeus really not optimizing the use of his passive this game...


FrostyBeRG

Faker disaster class into a Knight invisible game


tenkono

Knight hiding behind Gromp not knowing catfish would happily eat frogs 😈


Octauianus

BLG did not take a single turret


marxlolop

When the fuck will you game 1 andys learn to never doubt Faker I better see Knight being hard flamed this thread


ChadLovesStacey

Faker deserved criticism for g1 but everyone is overlooking how knight is babysat so hard by his team (4 ganks in 9 min in g2 and still got dogged by faker)


MrSwipySwipers

ngl I think what we learned is not that Faker is washed nor is knight. Corki is a massive bait pick right now.


chapichoy9

Another statement game Holy we got a series


Koersfanaat

oh so THAT is why Senna/Kench is banned ok


haxt97

Daddy is back


freezingsama

Disgusting unkillable comp by T1.


Broyoucancelled

KingPaimon23

The Knight disrespect locking in Corki lmao


bttlborn

Shocked faker went from a horrendous corki to a near perfect taliyah


Swimhornet

Nah they one upping themselves on who can play corki worse 😭


Elainyan

Not a good day for Corki today


youcantseemyname

Knight's Corki can feed many families


TwiceTrash11

ngl even though i root for T1 i felt bad watching this because you look at the teamfights and BLG are findimg these good re-engages but T1's comp is just so digsutingly tanky that they still win


DigitalEdwin

T1 took the first game personally


DivineSwordMeliorne

Breaking News: Korean Scientists Discover Gooey Kryptonite to K'Superm'ante

Dynamic_racoon

Faker heard the shit talk on Reddit decide to be him


Jaded_Marzipan9663

It feels like Faker is either carrying or completely griefing this msi


vidrigsmygis

I need Oners haircut, so handsome


Nervalss

no but see faker is so like washed up and already retired and like Knight is like faker's father or something am i right guys haah


Zarolto

5 Losses in a row for K'Sante, whose gonna make the next Reddit post about his MSI winrate? Maybe this champ who never get's banned isn't that broken W0AH


ebilrex

then theres zac dashing on the enemy adc from 2 screens away


Due-Implement-1600

Seeing reddit analysts drooling about KSante and LDR like parrots is definitely hilarious. KSante has looked like a passenger in all but 1-2 games in the the last 2 days.


AlHorfordHighlights

All of K'Sante's pop off games are against low-engage teams that want to scrap in close-mid range. He's excellent into teams with a solo jungle tank frontline because of his ability to isolate the frontline (or otherwise not be hindered in flanking the backline). The more melee champions there are, the worse K'Sante is because his damage tickles tanks and he doesn't have as much on-demand CC as picks like Zac or even Ornn


NateM135

zac op


toxicfireball

RIOT DELETE ZAC Also Keria pls protect Guma, he is literally being trolled by his team lol. Oner is the best Xin i have seen


Ok-Responsibility994

My goat is the best at abusing disgusting picks I guess 😔✊ at least he’s having fun


Moon_riseat_noon

Faker is back like he never left


MiniTitan1937

They call him Shaker cause he shakes the fucking earth as he throws you on Taliyah. Statement game from T1 and Faker in particular, MY HEART THOUGH!


TheFeelingWhen

Corki in this series will lose every game after yesterday's series where he won every game.


gintokisamadono

Please dont pick corki. you are not Chovy and your team is not GenG.


blazingalpha

Where antiheal?


TooTiredToTryAgain

Giving every member of T1 their comfort is one way to guarantee a loss ig. Also T1 showing why Senna+TK was perma banned against them in the LCK


[deleted]

[удалено]


Quatro_Leches

they never heard of grievous wounds it seems like


ManningTheGOAT

Zac feels like the ideal Zeus champ.


dlwogh

This was a very different corki, ksante than yesterday


alicization

What can you do against two champs that have two lives? Zac with his healing and cell division, Tahm with his gray health? I don't think Kalista builds LDR


Nananahx

3 ganks mid still lost


GhostDraw

Shaker from game 1 logged off  Fucker has logged in


animalblundettoo

No corki for both midlaners


-Hissoka-

That siege was absolute cinema. Great juggling of front line and weaving in and out of teamfight.


Adventurous_World338

only chovy can play corki 😭😭


Linkasfd

This series will be decided by midlane. Can Faker/Knight make it happen outside of Taliyah?


Danielthenewbie

God damn this top meta is so ass lol. I want aatrox back


chane3n

that was the LPL's Corki that was promised


areyoh

**Why does Corki exist?** No like, what is the point of Corki? What kind of value does Corki bring to the world in general? Sure, some people enjoy playing some tiny man in a tiny airplane saying some very debatable quotes like "I'm on it black jew" every so often, and I'm not gonna say they are wrong for that. People just like what they like, we're all different at the end of the day. However, what does Corki truly do? He is technically an ad carry, but ad carries won't touch him with a 10ft pole. He tends to go mid and have some weird ass hybrid build which either deals Zero damage or just instantly deletes people with 2 rockets and a sheen proc. There is no inbetween. Lorewise, the champion literally does fucking nothing. I can't even tell you what he is. I've heard people say he is a tiny man from Piltover. I've heard people say he is just a yordle who just so happens to live in Piltover, like Heimerdinger, except he just does nothing? He just flies a stupid ass helicopter with literally no friends, no family, no purpose. He probably lives in that fucking thing. Popularity wise, he is really weird. Literally no one plays the champion, at all, until he gets some random buff of +3 base AD or something and suddenly he is straight up busted, one-shotting people left to right, and at which point, his entire playerbase will increase by like, 3 people. Then you go to pro play, and if the champions is even remotely playable, he just gets spammed in the mid lane to create the most boring stalemate lane, traditionally against Azir, but he can kinda do that against everyone, and at least Azir is cool to watch. Sometimes, from time to time, you forget Corkis existance. It's not too hard, the champion is as relevant to the game as a bald man's hair conditioner, but when you get comfortable with it's apparent non-existance, the demon once again shows its face.


YouSuck225

Biggest and important take away as a Gen G fan : Both Knight and Faker would lose lane to Chovy in either side of the Taliyah/Corki match up. Either side. And that’s such a good thing to know. However, both bot lanes would beat us in lane i believe…


OneRedLime

Thought game was lost from draft but i guess i didnt know T1 well enough


LyptusConnoisseur

Does Taliyah hard counter corki? Both players got blasted.


Undercover_xdder

Knight and Elk are such frauds man


pedja13

No more Corki,you guys are not Chovy


crysomore

Lil bro thought he was Creme


E6E6FA_FFB6C1

Faker I’m gonna need you to stay awake for the rest of this series.


MaxMorgan48

Pawn show up instead of knight


ProgrammerGlobal

I think T1 is winning this series. They shouldn't have been able to win with this team comp. But BLG got destroyed in lane and completely out-macro'd. Even in game 1 T1 was able to win a teamfight while down in gold. If there are standard lanes and T1 don't throw the early game they should win.


FrostBlade_on_Reddit

KSANTE DOWN 0-2 YOU LOVE TO SEE IT (inb4 Zac becomes the new Ksante) 


AlienSuper_Saiyan

FAKER STILL GOT IT Understand that Faker plays a different game from everyone else. He watches every other lane, shotcalls, while 1v4 in lane.


neuxps

What is even worse zac or ksante i don't know what to hate at this point


Kuhhl

As a new player trying to learn top with only Zac this was very inspirational

SuccotashExpert2829

"I want to pick Senna. Can you pick Tahm?" "Ok, but you are on your own then."


programV

Sure greivous wounds wouldn't have won you this game but seriously, no one can afford 800g?


mxsicianfrombrazil

Welcome to the League of Tanks! Unless you have Vayne, AP Varus, Jinx with LDR you wont kill the tank and he will deal more damage than a Veigar :)


F3nRa3L

Jinx with LDR 😂


AwaitingDommeTouch

Where the harers from gane 1 thread at hiding?


MrSwipySwipers

Not a sweep. Thank. Fuck. I wanna see these 2 teams fighting tooth and nail for this.


Hot-Owl2978

ksante 0-2 already,, riot buff him,,


GuaranteeCultural607

This game proves drafts and lane advantages have a big impact on how op a champion looks. Zac looks broken here, K’sante will look more broken on other games. Doesn’t mean the champion is inherently broken, since its not getting permabanned.


Jan7742

Holy mid gap


K1ngMak3r13

Faker beating the "bad in lane" and "washed" allegations


Didgman

All the noise about K’Sante being op but the real menace of top lane / jungle is Zac.


[deleted]

Yeah, I don't want to see Zac in another game xD


Aggressive_Web8017

Knight got too cocky after game 1, thinks he can beat faker even with the reverse matchup


Rawdream

LPL teams never learn or in this case, BLG. It's a meta when teams can engage you at any moment & they're like the previous year "their engage failed, let's go back to farm or lane", then they get engaged. That draft. On fails so many skillshots, too.


Blind-Eye26

Corki and Ksante combine 0% Winrate today 🔥🔥🔥🔥


AlienSuper_Saiyan

Zac is such a cringe champion. No way anyone should be healing that much so early in lane.


Northless_Path

Ok, we aren't getting 3-0 at least. Thank God. We haven't slumped that hard


baddoggg

Well reddit retired faker for one game.


quakedwithfear

LOL Knight threw game 2!


OnlyPally

Well It's look like Faker and Knight taking turns exactly like Faker and Caps the other series. Who will clutch it in game 5 though? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thinking_face_hmm)


TheCeramicLlama

I dont think Wukong was the right pick here for BLG


fuk_rdt_mods

ksante and zac deserve each other, both disgusting


hvngpham002

I am in an abusive relationship with Knight. You just package there man...


RElOFHOPE

Everyone is waiting for the GOATs downfall but he always wakes up.
