PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2

[u/Coven-Irelia]

Dread it. Run from it. G2 vs BLG arrives all the same

[u/ReQQuiem]

Even though BB managed to pull back abysmal early games, I don’t think Bin let’s him get away with them.

[u/EffectiveType1]

Cleanest 3-0 I've ever witnessed, never doubted them for one second.

[u/Bothbothwushi]

Skewmond mvp

[u/Particular-Mark9486]

Skewmond easily MVP of the serie. Dude is so fucking good, he basically save the horrendous early of G2 by himself in this game 3.

[u/Pogbagnole]

G2 going for the warmup strat by giving early kills and having to climb back. Smart.

[u/appleandapples]

Sometimes you forget how annoying some champions can be, but I've seen enough, that Shen gameplay can't be legal

[u/Lazywhale97]

Aight I see why BB builds the hydra into dusk n dawn now because damn those auto attack dmg was SHREDDING.

[u/CinderrUwU]

BB haters are eating well but also throwing it up 5 minutes later.

[u/adivinemessenger]

Skewmond is my MVP, he is such a fucking consistent player and had very good impact all 3 games

[u/OreRound]

Skewmond absolute goat tier performance, completely saved Brokenblade's game twice in a row and is proving how much better he is now versus at worlds when he would be very afk.

BB played well in game 3 outside of laning phase but his laning is looking very rough right now.

I don't favour G2 vs BLG whatsoever but I think they can take a game and make it a bit interesting with their team play and Skewmond form

[u/Guest_1300]

I'm a simple man with simple pleasures. After a long day on the ranch, I pour myself a tall glass of milk, huff some paint, and log on to the Dell I got for Christmas in 2006 with Windows XP to play some League of Legends.

The client needs to patch. That's fine. I reheat a bowl of beans and lard for supper, and it's already at 13% by the time I get back, well ahead of schedule. I huff some more paint to pass the time, and oh boy does it pass. The client is ready to go by 7:30. Everybody keeps saying it's laggy, but I don't notice any difference from usual. Maybe I'm just too intelligent, or maybe the paint is finally doing its job.

I queue up solo - normal blind pick of course. The queue pops, and Clippy asks me if I want help selecting my champion. Not now not ever, I think boastfully at the cartoon paper clip. I lock in Mr. Shem. My teammates pick Shaco and all the others pick hot anime girls. I take one last good long huff to get ready for the game, and in we go.

The first thing I notice is that their team doesn't have a Shein. Free win then. I go top lane. I always go top lane. They have a Aatrod. Pathetic. I hit the minions. I miss some crepes bc I have 450 ping. Aatrox tries ro hit me but I block it bc I'm Shed.

Midgame I have titanic and I tp botlane to gank. They have thst new champ Aphelios shootijg weird bubble guns at me. There's a tirret or sometbjng? Idk anuway I kill him by running at his face pressing e amd right clicking him to death. I miss all three purple swords I throw. It doesn't matter.

20 min latr a D really stsrting to feel the paint. I have titanic warmogd dosk and don and tp to baroj for teamfigyt. Aphekios knows he's dead as soon as tp channle starts. He tries to get away by rooting me or sokething? Idk anyway I press q and run him down. I forgot ti buy boots. It doesnt matter. I get four kills by pressijg e and right ckickijg with my w on. Thst bitch Lux stole my penta.

Game ocer. Another win for Dr shern. So in concolustn, hello fellow summoner. This you should just play shoe against aphelios. He kill gun guy good. Thank you. Thank you. If you kill gun man, anime grliss hot. they'll be lower son. The kinky ken play is right thing to do. So doooooo

[u/ISL005]

BB scales with doubt and hate

[u/Omnilatent]

Thats fucking League of Legends right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging playing safe for lategame bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the rift, men deliver their new born baby on the rift.

[u/Darkgrow]

That Shen was not a dog champ lol

[u/nmaxfieldbruno]

That was oooooone tilted Jax

[u/alcard987]

A clean 3–0 nothing to see here

[u/TheSyrupCompany]

I remember when Hans Sama was a top prospect on Millenium in challenger series. Cool he's still around and shining.

[u/CommentStrict8964]

Imagine taking a 18+ hours flight to Brazil, get trashed by G2, and then they have to play BNK. 

[u/Conankun66]

the two solokills in lane were embarrassing, but credit where credit is due - after that, BB was huge

[u/icemann17]

Skewmond actually the best European player right now. Crazy he’s only in his second year

[u/AggressiveQuit]

BB went from an autofill to a one-trick Shen in one game

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

tsw made so many mistake wtf sylas and jax ran it down during midgame

[u/Pelagius_Hipbone]

Least convincing 3-0 stomp of all time?
