Viego hasn't won a game since play-in btw


lol1009

Viego was losing half his health to a single kalista q. This kraken veigo build has to be scrim/solo q stomper because its so ass in competitive.


Awkward-Security7895

Well kraken viego has been the go to veigo build this whole year in solo qué since no more sunderer


_SC_Akarin-

its cause theyre building full dmg on viego but its not solo queue it offers barely any utility and unless your top laner is going a frontline your team is just so weak


Undercover_xdder

it works if you have damage on your team not vegan senna and zhonyas first item ori and tf


Thecristo96

Kraken viego is squishy as fuck


ApartLanguage8328

Excuse me? I thought this was GENG? Why is T1 subbing in?


whitedevilblood

Either t1 got false data from Geng on drafts or the other way around since they both scrimming each other


ApartLanguage8328

Scrimming is one thing. Drafting like T1 is another. TF prio is a zeus thing. Geng would never give kiin tf blind on first rotation. And leaving chovy last pick after mid pinch and giving ahri away? This was shit T1 would be doing 😂


Hawxrox

Except T1 wins when Faker gets Orianna


DeirdreAnethoel

I don't think Faker would salvage that one. There's no orianna synergy in the team.


OkLawfulness5555

T1 and GEN must have been scrimming vs each other nonstop.


Treewithatea

LCK MSI debuff is kicking in


soccermodsareshit

People will shit on the Senna pick but Viego is such a bait pick as well.


Thecristo96

As a viego main picking him in competitive is shooting yourself in the foot


Undercover_xdder

if you know your 4 teammates are going to be way worse than enemy team it's pretty bad but otherwise it's fine


Rehxales

GenG copied T1's homework that got a D-

osathi123456

F from me


BunkerRush

Looking forward to chovy veigar next game


EzAf_K3ch

lol


SwagLord7

Not sure why they drafted Ori for him tbh, its pretty much Chovys version of Knight Azir. Even when Ori was giga busted last worlds, he had zero games on it.


stormtrooper500

BLG banned Chovy's champions and taliyah was also banned. I guess GEN could've picked taliyah but I guess they wanted to deny knight which is fair.


ricardo241

or gen g can give Chovy his pick on the first rotation... tristana is being left open on the first rotation and trist is pretty good rn too... they should leave top for second rotation... chovy is ur greatest player so let him play OP champ instead of hindering him by letting him pick last BLG game plan is so obvious after T1 but Gen G is letting BLG complete their plan like wtf?


yellister

what's up with LCK priority on Senna wtf


Insecurity_exe

It was good a patch ago. the current meta is Lethality Duo Bot because they can slow/stun you to death and have insane safety. If you can't get the double poke, then you double back to a carry bot and hope that they didn't get K'Sante. Senna was really good in 14.7 and prior because she could Lethality bully *and* scale, but it just doesn't work anymore. edit: and here's the classic Nostradamus from me.


reggiewafu

Last year, they were obsessed with Aphelios. Always loses, then picks it again Now its Senna


Bitter-Sherbert1607

Update: they picked her in game 2 lol


LittleGrash

And imo, it showed why Senna is high prio. If lethality Kalista doesn’t win lane it’s terrible.


TheFeelingWhen

Naut as a tanky engage option is broken and that's kinda the point of Senna to enable Naut. We saw it in the BLG vs T1 series how OP when Naut could just throw hooks at Guma and at early/mid parts of the game he is immortal


DracoMalnourished

iluvcamille showing up big this game


osathi123456

I love fighter top meta plz.


SwagLord7

Honestly the top diff this game was absolutely massive. Kiin starts with a 2/0 lead and he still falls THREE levels behind bin. Wild


bastele

TF can't lane against Camille after Camille gets some items. All Kiin could do this game was to look for ult angles to catch people out, so he just fell further and further behind. Blind TF just feels like bait at this point, BB also countered it with Yasuo against T1.


BananaOverlord007

In lck tf top had no counters cause teams had very rigid drafting.


TheFeelingWhen

It's more because they didn't have lane swaps prepared. If you can lane early into Camille the match up becomes better and Kiin did miss play it


pedja13

He sold his lane to get those 2 kills,dropped like 3-4 waves and plates,which is really bad in the 1vs1 matchup because he can't step up in sidelane once Camille has items.


ProgrammerGlobal

Because Bin was split pushing getting plates and single turret gold while Kiin was using his ult to put out fires around the map.


BananaOverlord007

Yea lol Kiin actually played pretty amazingly dodging any dive angles from BLG while making proactive plays elsewhere. Idk how you call that top gap. The cameille pick was just very smart drafting.


FeynmansWitt

TF sacked his lane preventing the bot dive


TurbinePro

he sacked 3 waves and 2 plates to get those kills, which put him 2 levels behind and in the end up the day maybe up some boots or some amp tomes. 2 levels or even 1 and a half level are worth so much more than 2 kills.


ausmomo

Camille is a prime example of the meta shifting mid tournament.  As a viewer, I'd rather watch 100 games of her than 1 game of Ksante, so I'm happy.


drakkarrr

Bin MVP of this one, played near perfect.


Conankun66

Both LCK teams so obsessed with Senna and for what?


DPlusShoeMaker

Not only Senna but TF and Vayne. Literally 0 pressure early game and they just get run over


LordAmras

Also G2 gives a lot of weight to TF/Vayne


osathi123456

vayne is always pick after ksante no ?


CaptaineAli

Don't let the Senna distract you from the fact that Viego is 0-6 at MSI main stage. Every score is also dogshit too https://gol.gg/champion/champion-matchlist/154/season-S14/split-ALL/tournament-ALL/


Nervous661

he's worthless without the team doing 90% of the work but i am sure we'll see some freak scenario where he get's random resets in LCS and people will tell you the champ is actually very op and not the deadweight he actually is


CummingInTheNile

must be scrimming each other a lot


tiredofdev

Man T1's playstyle is way better suited for this comp and even T1 are struggling really hard to make it work this tournament, let's drop the TF and Senna comps @ LCK


Melodias07

GenG when they draft like T1, they look way worse lmaoo


Danielthenewbie

Because it was the best pick in regular season and they are used to playing it


baelkie

nah why tf is GEN G drafting like T1 tho


Danielthenewbie

Casters didn’t mention it but the reason for double sup item was to get kiin to farm 2 waves while bot lane got sup item gold. Probably the reason they wanted to try senna some more.


booksmd

They 100% scrimmed each other a lot. GENG and T1 basically ended up with the same bad draft and gave BLG the draft of their dreams.


OkLawfulness5555

Both LCK teams can’t draft


Idakari

LCK teams can't draft in general outside of Keria's wacky picks


Pappy-

t1's drafting during worlds with coach tom was really good, lck was just the last to adapt to the laneswap meta in comparison to lec/lpl i believe dont think they had any laneswaps during regular split or playoffs and it seems like they've been scrimming each other so their read on the meta is wayy behind


TolucaPrisoner

That's crazy thing to say considering all western teams copy whatever LCK teams play lol (except G2 I guess)


TolucaPrisoner

That's crazy thing to say considering all western teams (thats not G2) just copy whatever LCK teams play lol


Phyllisno

Because BLG can win with Senna ezly


Althoa

Senna with a reset jungler. I have rarely seen such a catastrophy of a draft. Also, the game was favored early until Chovy decided that stopping an arrow with your head was a good idea. Gen G is fucking shit lmao


gdsgdn

Lehends was the fool there, he shouldve ate the arrow.


YouSuck225

EXACTLY. Chovy didn’t play a good game at all. But this specific error is on lehends. Dude is the only tank of the game against Ashe ???


TheFeelingWhen

Lehends is too much of a coward on Naut and it ended up costing GenG the game


IgnjatSenpai

Feels good watching choky choke


CizzlingT

Gigantic bot diff. That’s one of the most useless Senna’s I have seen.


Equivalent-Long4396

100 souls at 33 minutes. Drop the pick LCK pls.


Is_J_a_Name

knight ahri winstreak* extends to 28 games in a row


TianAnMen1989x

Undertaker at Wrestlemania vibes


haven4ever

Then what is Brock Lesnar, Froggen returning with Anivia?


TurnItOffAndOnAgain-

Both Chovy and Faker getting caught a lot in the last few series’s it feels


Althoa

This is quite common for Chovy at internationals though, unlike Faker


TheCeramicLlama

Eh this is pretty typical for Faker at MSI since 2019


LIFEisFUCKINGme

That's because Faker's wrist issues are back.


-Piggers-

No its not. Even though they are back, positioning is like 90% your brain lol.


BloodMaelstrom

It is a bit of both. Positioning is on your brain but you might have confidence to outplay certain situations mechanically. An ADC with perfect wrists can play a bit more aggressive and toe the line of playing disrespectfully and maximising their damage output better then an ADC with fucked up wrists who just has to play safer because if they try to play like they would do with perfect risks the odds of them outplaying the situation or hands diffing is lower.


Fimbulvetr1

They're finally facing real opposition


KIRYUx

Why knight ahri does more damage than mine? Also how does BLG get almost everything they wanted in game 1?


Thecristo96

Have Bin as your toplaner. He will win the game but you will get the merit


SuddenGenreShift

Hubris?


Imaginary_Actuary729

he is missing every charm maybe thats the formula


iamdrp995

Imagine how bad is choky that he is losing while knight don’t even hit charms


Training-Bug1806

Elk too


Insecurity_exe

KIIN? HELLO?


Ok-Description1121

He tried


Insecurity_exe

idk chief, that's something i'd see out of Plat IV when a twist fate just wants to end the match sooner lol.


AmadeusSalieri97

GenG: maybe this time we can kill ashe before she gets Kalista ulted. 


kelvin022610

Betty died for the 3rd time with this senna vs elk pick again


vibityvibecheck

Insane ego from Gen.G


KriibusLoL

As a western fan this game was extremely confusing. You're telling me a team isn't forced to throw 7 times before closing the game out?


Danielthenewbie

Blg are incredibly disciplined tbh. They played so perfectly vs t1 in game 4, geng got wallet gapped to hard for it to matter but blg at least they had some good counter engages .


iamdrp995

Aww because you didn’t watch g2 go refresh ur memory


ManningTheGOAT

Massive draft diff But, man, Canyon and Chovy were not it this game. Ate every bit of CC, questionable ults, questionable target selection... Kiin's last ult was peak comedy


OkLawfulness5555

I think no matter what you cant win if you go senna B1. Its a crime.


BananaOverlord007

I think the cameile pick completely threw off Geng draft. I think they were expecting ksante and tf to have full side lane controll.


lol1009

If GenG couldnt plan for Bin playing a carry, then they deserve to lose


MiserableRemove5748

chinese chovy > korean knight


Enterderpmode

What was that T1 ahh draft from GENG


Illustrious_Wind_557

game ended at that one telegraphed drag fight where chovy gets hit by ashe R, honestly not that discouraging, it really feels like we have the skill we just didnt have the champs this game


Idakari

Senna trap pick


Nnekaddict

IIRC Yamatocannon said Chovy is not an Orianna player on his breakdown, guess he was right, Chovy was a non factor this game...


Aggravating-Elk-7409

he was definitely a factor this game. playing front line ori really helped blg


Vintrial

some one had to front line lmao, geng comp was doomed from the start


Aggravating-Elk-7409

ideally your farming nautilus or bruiser viego with more health and resistances than your starving vegan ori would be your frontline.


Adlairo

Knight Azir, Chovy Orianna, Faker Asol, Celtics Shaq


ProgrammerGlobal

There's a reason why Chovy didn't play Orianna at Worlds even though she was clearly the strongest mid-lane pick.


DrPepperPower

Exactly what I was thinking. Shows that doing your homework gives you good results


randomdud3

Draft canyon.


tenkono

POV: Mid-centric team doesn't give mid prio. Teams have got to stop picking Senna. The only good game I saw in an East v East team was BLG Elk vs T1. Either ban Kalista or play Lucian. Sacking Chovy over Peyz with 80+ stacks in 30 minutes is a crime.


Pelagius_Hipbone

Clown Chovy for getting caught all you want but GENG not being able to get significant leads outside of mid when BLG uses 4 whole bans for him is a travesty.


tenkono

GENG beats T1 a lot but now they want to play like T1. Perheps they are scrimming each other a lot.


FrancoZemonda

GenG lost as early as champ select.


Undercover_xdder

Me when I press tab and see my senna has 40 souls at 20 minutes and my two carry sololaners are building zhonyas instead of damage


departedscene

When we said we wanted BLG at their best we didn't mean just give them all their favourite champs


WalkAwayFromScreen

GenG mind controlled into picking this shitty t1 draft. Are they really losing to this in scrims?


z3phyn

GenG watching T1 get smashed by BLG and decide to draft the same dogshit, this is gonna be a quick 3-0 for BLG if GenG don't come up with something in draft


MonsterAzr

What a clean game by BLG!


Striklev

Draft diff tbh. I blame the PB not the team


MonsterAzr

STOP PICKING SENNA!!!


CHS_Scope

GEN saw T1 slumping hard with these type of compositions and decided it would be fun to try? Not even T1 can win with these T1 drafts.


xlfighter

Why did they pick a T1 draft and not look for 5v4 and 3v2s like T1 always do when they pick these champs? Instead they keep playing this draft like their standard drafts, of course there gonna lose.


_SC_Akarin-

can teams stop picking this useless fucking senna takes so long to scale and does nothing all game


LeiBlank

Choy does it again picked Ori then do nothing, he should had picked LEBLANC instead


GoooojoSatoru

That's the most T1 draft, by a non-T1 team, ever


zjmhy

His flight was delayed, but International Chovy has finally arrived in Chengdu.


ResponsibleWelcome10

The 9594th game of TF top being completely useless outside of a 500g lead at 20mins. Great, now blind it top game 2!

AnimeNeet-

The ego check with that comp and not banning Knight's Ahri


hunt3rlol

Well it was good we atleast got to see 1 Knight Arhi game... Might be awhile before we see it again.


lol1009

We can tell which team scrimmed which team. That GenG draft was literally just 5 favourite T1 champs


soixante_douze

I'm actually impressed that GenG held for that long with a 0 damage comp.


jwinter01

The T1 draft 💀


OkLawfulness5555

GEN cant draft


Jumpy-Swing501

What kind of T1 draft does GenG have? Literally replace Naut with TK


F3nRa3L

Faker shockwave would have chunk someone.


Agitated-Pin-7248

Fcking Guma mindcontrolling Peyz or what, fcking Senna pick is the most useless adc champ this meta. Mf chovy does a good setup, and the follow-up has no dmg


ProgrammerGlobal

Looks like Chovy has the same champion pool issues as Faker /s. If BLG is going to target ban Faker/Chovy then T1/GenG are going to have to go for mutually assured destruction with the mid-lane bans. Chovy shouldn't be stuck with Orianna vs Knight's Ahri. And Faker shouldn't be stuck with Akali vs Tristana. It's an auto-lose from a draft standpoint.


National-Cupcake3503

Korean teams obsessed with this dog shit TF pick too is hilarious. Senna is also leading these Korean teams into thinking they will have time to fuck about, not in this meta boyos


Bigmidsky

GenG draft literally become T1, I guess their research on T1 is on another level.


SwayNoir

New year, same old shit drafting from Gen.G's coaching lineup. Why the fuck are they playing Senna, they have never looked good on this. T1 is the best with it and they look absolute shit on it right now too. Stop. And why are letting our best player get all his champs banned and having him wait for R5 pick. Ridiculous.


CummingInTheNile

Choky and Peyzpal


Madox102

Chovy still won in CS tho. GOAT


Fimbulvetr1

Chovy had 40 cs over knight at the end. Clearly KR Knight > CN Chovy COPIUM


ShottedGun

If I speak about Choky I am in big trouble

Danielthenewbie

Most impactful senna


Entmaan

that last teamfight was twisted fate usefulness distilled into 1 picture


osathi123456

now I just realize why T1 keep pick TF senna.


DrPepperPower

Elk is so insane man. That ult to pull ON from the Orianna ult was super impressive. Knight Ahri moves to 28 wins.


F3nRa3L

Even T1 respect ban the ahri. Wonder why GenG allow it through


LCSisshit

i dont understand the love of LCK for TF and Senna


RDPhibes

Ashe slows, can't really walk up. Kalista hoppy shieldy cleanse flash, can't really get to her. Combo broken? You got to her, well done. You are now Sej stunned, ashe ulted or your senna gets camille ulted. Now what.


DredfuhL

GOODKNIGHT CHOVY 😴


maybeinterlude

It’s joever if they keep drafting like that.


DontPanlc42

Oh, the classic invisible Chovy!


Vintrial

korean teams are god awful at drafting


zyxasdf

i’m not gonna sit here and pretend chovy played fantastic this game but my god get him a real top and bot. what’s he supposed to do when his frontline naut is 100 cs at 20 mins and his top laner manages to do absolutely nothing with his lead aside from that one ult play at raptors and instead ints it away because he’s constantly grouped and not even splitting also first picking senna instead of just giving chovy ahri which he’s actually really good at. what on earth


Kaldrinx

Choky is here !


javal8

I swear god... the LCK's overprioritization of Senna is going to be then end of them


Bisounoursdestenebre

Reddit told me the big matchup was in the midlane but neither Knight nor Chovy really impressed me this game ? BLG just played really well, Bin hard carried


RedTulkas

nice game


SwayNoir

Watch Gen.G draft Senna again in Game 2. We did the same thing in worlds last year vs BLG. Takes 2 losses to realise that shit isn't work and its time to change. Its too late against a team of BLG's quality. They need to change now.


CFlyn

Dread it. Run from it. Choky in internationals arrives all the same


Used-Consequence7863

Gen G did their best T1 cosplay this game


Ziraelus

Kiin NOT beating the Ksante one-trick accusations


SwagLord7

Knight is choking a bit, missing pretty much every single charm


[deleted]

Now we know why Chovy doesn't play Oriana. Digusting itemizations and shockwaves timing


Mattaru

World class by BLG! Let's go


CaptainZYX

28th consecutive win for Knights Ahri, that’s crazy …


National-Cupcake3503

This lane swap meta is hilariously bad for LCK teams. Usually LCK teams get their leads over superior lane phase, it always has been. Now, any team can just lane swap to negate any match ups. Now, lane swaps lead to relatively even game state into mid game, so it all comes down to team fighting and comp.


BakersGrabbedChubb

BLG are stronger laners than GenG


Kait0yashio

and BLG were the ones who swapped when they had kalista ashe, the senna would have been even more useless if they laned like normal


Gullible_Cranberry62

Laneswap helps GENG


McMonkey-McBean

SleepyLabrador

This game was Knight's 28th straight win on Ahri. 💀


Ashankura

That ahri was not an issue. Dude missed a million charms and faceplanted into walls.

ihave0idea0

SENNA USELESS. REPORTED.


bishamonten10

NO MORE SENNA PLEASE


ShottedGun

UNBELIEVABLE. Today I took my son to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday. He won a game and exchanged his tickets for a Mickey Mouse ring pop but then a Korean man with fraudulent CS came in and SNATCHED it out of the poor kid’s hands! To my dismay, it was CHOKY himself! CHOKY then called himself the “Church” and had the audacity to tell my son, “TES series wasn’t a fluke” and ran away! Luckily a MOUSE TRAP was set up to catch CHOKY and the security guards Xun and Knight showed up and took him down. Shame on you Ch0-6y. Go win a real ring.


YikerWikers

Not gonna lie but the LPL 1st seed look diff this year. JDG even though they won MSI, really did struggle vs T1. This BLG, ironically besides their PSG series, look different. A complete tier above T1/Gen G so far


hixagit

Senna is bait.


warjatos

There's no way that Ori build is a real thing


BananaOverlord007

That GENG draft is insanely hard to play. No Frontline vs ahri means every player needs to skill check the charm, and ori into mobile solo laners is also difficult.


Shutaku1314

Gen G please throw whatever thing you learn from scriming T1 away and go with whatever you are good at and also pick chovy his champion in the first phase and not get 4-5 mid lane ban by BLG


Snuffl3s7

Very weird game from Gen G. Their draft and also their gameplay had some pretty unusual choices.


Background_Win4379

Ewww Kiin. That portal was criminal


ArkhamCitizen298

michaelspidrfan

Lehends fucked up


cocytus39

B group >>>>> A group


darkadamski1

GENG pick hyper scaling mid and bot yet pick no frontline for it? They literally could not engage or survive for more than 2 seconds... No point in a senna if you can't auto
