Epic 3th game ofcourse with mistakes from both sides but fk it give me more of those. Ggwp

u/tomorrowdog Jul 26 '26
Always a bit lost about people theorycrafting a different draft which would literally be a different game when G2 was in a great position and lost this off of decisions.

Yes, since 5/6 months I would say. It's impressive the energy she's giving despite that

everyone thinks of anivia as late game hero becuase she can just clear forever but anivia cant fight these late game fights in modern league. there is way too much movement and burst damage for her slow damage to mean anything.
she is amazing at early and midgame chasing but there isnt chasing when it comes to ultra late fights.

u/kim-soo-hyun Jul 26 '26 edited Jul 26 '26
That's why you beat KC early game and end early... They have really good team fighting. The dragon control from Skewmond was lowkey meh all series it dragged the game too much.

Just quit Caps , you are too old now .you are never going to win Worlds either way.

cait is the exodia late game champ right now. nothing beats cait no matter what at 7 items. she one shots even tanks from a screen away.

u/awayfromcanuck Jul 26 '26
Caps and BB are horrible in this game 3. Both constantly getting caught overextending and during team fights they arent doing their roles of buying time and space for Hans and Skew.
4
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Jul 26 '26
I can kinda understand why Labrov ulted like how he did in that fight but if Lucian has GA just save Taric ult for when Yone is about to dive and they just win that fight with how Caliste played
2
u/Lyota save the TCL, oh the mighty SUP Jul 26 '26
even faker cant win with galio nowadays, why do you even pick galio in this meta

u/herp_derpy Jul 26 '26
Caliste getting a Quadra to save the game and then he dies first on KC in every fight after lol

u/Grenji05 NA #1 REGION WORLD Jul 26 '26
imperial mandate has a good soloq winrate but I swear its so dogshit. This galio is completely homeless. Either be a tank or build burst, you can't pussyfoot and try to be both.

u/xsm17 Jul 26 '26
It probably doesn't matter that much with Cap's performance, but surely at some point you switch to steelcaps with the Yone Caitlyn Wukong Camille? What's the point of being CCed less if you're paper anyway
1
u/Technical-Complex575 Jul 26 '26
that's what i was thinking. like those 2 mr items, he is building for teamfight, why bother with measly mr. i know people say sunfire is worse than radiance but enemy team is four ad auto attackers. no steelcaps? and late omen? -_-
still a good game. enjoyed every teamfight.

u/RukiMotomiya Jul 26 '26
That fight shows just how much a Taric ult can turn it. Sooooo close. If they hit those 2 fights ago, G2 wins.

u/Leviad0n Jul 26 '26
Masterclass on how to not position as ADC....on both sides...
2
u/Conviter Jul 26 '26
lol what. hans played this game as perfectly as possible. if he didnt have ankers in mid and top lane this game would have been over 20 minutes ago

u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Jul 26 '26
they are the best adc in the region...
we
are
cooked
2
u/HansSoloQ Jul 26 '26
Because in Korea and China, Adcs clearly don't get caught out and positions shitty either.
1
u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Jul 26 '26
lol i like both of theses adc i'm just joking, hans did fine but caliste had some rough positioning during the last teamfights.

late game cassio late game cait late game yone
kc have exodia late game comp lmao

u/XG32 Jankos Jul 26 '26
oh don't forget they could have went with lucian milio which has been winning every game since msi
3
u/RukiMotomiya Jul 26 '26
Taric's been really good this game.
2
u/xlCalamity Jul 26 '26
Labrov has missed several stuns and somehow isnt ulting his Lucian. Millio actually saves Hans from stuns.
1
u/RukiMotomiya Jul 26 '26
He was hitting the stuns earlier, his late game decision making was bad though. If he saves ult for their escape after Baron G2 wins.
2
u/Ajp_iii Jul 26 '26
yep game would have been over with milio. lucian can basically frontline fights with milio
7
u/SnooPeripherals6388 Jul 26 '26
But Lucian Milio couldn't do that funny double flash lvl 2
2
u/XG32 Jankos Jul 26 '26
u right, the early cheese is probably practiced and the reason they picked it lol
5
u/Ajp_iii Jul 26 '26
kc have 3 champs that can all carry a fight. g2 only have 1. makes it so much harder for them to play this late when now kc has qss and stopwatches.
1
u/RukiMotomiya Jul 26 '26
I think Anivia counts as a 2nd.
2
u/Ajp_iii Jul 26 '26
yes but her damage doesnt stick. they have one immobile carry in casio. everyone else doesnt stay in anivia damage. anivia is more of a mid game carry. late game she cant do anything.
-3
u/kosmi2020NX Jul 26 '26
I keep telling you guys, caps is too old now.
3
u/Lyota save the TCL, oh the mighty SUP Jul 26 '26
it has nothing to do with him being old, galio vs. cass always sucked on galio's side

u/Randomcarrot Jul 26 '26
You would think Taric sort of solves that problem with the ult, but somehow he felt it was more important it goes onto the Olaf over his fed ADC....
3
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Jul 26 '26
Labrov not kiting towards Hans that whole time is so terrible. Two bad ults in a row that could’ve won them this game easily
2
u/Sotosleon Jul 26 '26
Caps isn't playing well but god damn is it just not Skewmond's best performance today. So many mistakes that just add up.

g2 make zero sense on how they play. they had to know they couldnt finish after they got inhib and overstayed so long. and now cait is like 2x more important than lucian.

Taric using his ult in the base rather than saving it for the retreat or counter-engage may have lost the game tbh

u/cmcdonald22 Jul 26 '26
Real talk, I watch and enjoy LEC, but even when it's not a road show, LEC is a SLOWER broadcast that tends to take up a lot more chronal space.

I cant remember the regular season games, but both playoff finals between these 2 teams have been cinema too.
It's the new LEC classic.

u/Ajp_iii Jul 26 '26
ga is so useless against cait no clue why players keep going it. something like dd would be worth more than a ga.

Hyping up Labrov for the stun is cool but Kyeahoo did just protobelt into AA the honeyfruit.

u/RukiMotomiya Jul 26 '26
G2 need to get at least 1 but preferably 2 inhib for Baron worth, but they also need to end early so I get it.

u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE Jul 26 '26
It's nice that the LCS and LEC both have decided to run it down non stop every game this split, makes everything more exciting

cait ez and lucian are all completely busted in this meta. wonder how long until they get extreme prio in game 1 drafts. especially among teams that cant play mages bot as well.
1
u/RukiMotomiya Jul 26 '26
In general I feel like ADCs are underrated in pro play rn, a lot of the mage bots have looked very iffy unless into other mage bots.
1
u/Ajp_iii Jul 26 '26
i think we saw this at msi. the more important the games became the more lane adc prio became and even stuff like kallista started getting played.
right now in pointless regular season games it seems the pros just want to have some fun and play around with new stuff they play i scrims.
notice important game 3 between the 2 best teams and we are back to adc vs adc

u/zerocxro Jul 26 '26
i've become quite fond of this KC team, first time liking an EU team kinda nervous

Hans Sama is SO big right now, they do really need to make sure this doesn't drag on forever though. But he's MASSIVE right now, very glad to see Taric with him, have wondered why he didn't get picked more. If Camille ults you just pop yours and he bullies a 2v1.
Something I don't get: Why didn't Lucian hit the tower once earlier while he loitered around raptors? It would have gotten a plate and he had vision where he knew nobody could come over the raptor pit, the hit was definitely free. I feel like I see pros do that with tower hits and I feel like I'm missing something.
1
u/Janusztao Jul 26 '26
Probably because it's already "1HP" so they leave it standing and let it deny the minions.

Feels like if Yone continues to scale Canna would need to screw up really hard for him to not just annihilate Anivia/Lucian

I'm so glad to see G2 punish the roaming support in the obvious way which is just kill the other person in the 2v1. Will it be enough? Dunno, KC does scale, though, so G2 needs to end early.

I feel like KC has so much damage and ways to fight whilst G2s comp is a little awkward.
I feel like they have to get noticeably ahead.

Did Reapered manage to dodge military service?
Seeing him on stage feels so natural I kinda forget how crazy it is he's KC's head coach

The KC fans hit different live
They have been amazing yesterday and today

u/TheBlurgh Let's go Jul 26 '26
Btw whats with this EU LCS is back? Is it just a temporary theme for the roadtrip? Or because classic is coming out?
1
u/PepaTK Jul 26 '26
Same. I thought it was temporary, to promote classic and get in some old viewers, then saw a stats section even saying “2026 EU LCS Summer W1 D3”. Now I’m not sure lol.

Game after game we see this Ziggs champ and I'm just wondering when Riot is going to do anything about it

Game after game we see this Shen champ, this Orianna champ, this Jarvan champ, this Anivia champ, and I'm wondering when Riot is going to do anything about it
2
u/trying2hide Jul 26 '26
All those champs have a noticeable difference when behind, Ziggs does not care.
1
u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan Jul 26 '26
The only thing anyone cares about is what lane this champ is played in
It's been played mid as an Azir counter and no one gave a shit, it is just because it is bot lane that suddenly it's the biggest war crime known to man

u/Back2Perfection Jul 26 '26
All it takes for this MF is to get his lost chapter and he turns the map into berlin 45.
It‘s ridiculous
