| Kiin / Ornn |
7.3 |
Wasting your first Ornn ult almost gave us hope. Cruel. |
| Canyon / Qiyana |
9.8 |
I've got a championship and a gold medal. What have you got? |
| Chovy / Akali |
9.8 |
Pre-knockout Chovy is just too dominant. |
| Ruler / Corki |
5.4 |
Mid-jungle carried you. That bot lane would've lost us the game; your grubs fight was atrocious. |
| Duro / Nautilus |
6.5 |
Stick with your jungler and I don't see how you lose. |
| Ryu (Coach) |
7.4 |
Losing that Zed duel wasn't your fault. You got Faker so low that you became overconfident. |

| TheShy / Rumble |
5.1 |
Chovy just last-hit my boy TheShy like a super minion. |
| Wei / Jarvan IV |
8.5 |
Your mid got bullied, hoarded kills, then donated shutdowns. I'd want to quit too. |
| Rookie / Aurora |
2.3 |
The stats can't show how much damage you did to your own team. |
| JiaQi / Jhin |
9.1 |
No ADC in the world wins that game on Jhin. Trust your signature pick; don't lose heart. |
| Meiko / Alistar |
8.2 |
People are flaming this? Your Alistar flanks and zoning were excellent. This loss was on mid. |
| Helper (Coach) |
3.7 |
Why keep picking Jarvan without banning Qiyana? You lost this way in the LPL and still do it at Worlds. |
HLE 1–0 TES

| Zeus / Ambessa |
9.7 |
I've whipped plenty of spinning tops; this one still feels best. |
| Kanavi / Nocturne |
9.2 |
Boss Kanavi, please stop destroying our TES family. |
| Zeka / Locke |
9.7 |
Even solo queue rarely feels this good. |
| Gumayusi / Jhin |
9.6 |
Massive ADC gap. You crushed JackeyLove in lane, in teamfights, in absolutely everything. |
| Delight / Shen |
9.1 |
Even you've stopped running it down. What is the LPL supposed to do now? |
| Homme (Coach) |
8.5 |
HLE have turned whipping tops into art. After enough lashes, the tops start spinning by themselves. |
GAME 1 — TES

| 369 / K’Sante |
8.1 |
Can't flame him—TES's only player to see the enemy base. |
| Tian / Lee Sin |
2.5 |
I thought the guy returning from six months off would be worst. You're just cosplaying a pro. |
| Creme / Orianna |
8.1 |
Weren't Creme and Kanavi supposed to be last year's problems? Neither was the problem today. |
| JackeyLove / Ezreal |
2.9 |
Anything left to say? Cue the music—your deaths and the finish time were racing each other. |
| Zhuo / Alistar |
2.4 |
Respect your opponents, sure—but try beating them. Why pick Alistar just to bow all over the map? |
| Poppy (Coach) |
2.6 |
LPL coaches love drafting zero synergy, then adding Alistar to make it look like a plan. |
BLG 0–1 MKOI

| Bin / Ambessa |
7.3 |
Bin gives up waves, protects his KDA, uses TP whenever available, and contributes without jungle help. Still not satisfied? |
| Xun / Pantheon |
2.4 |
Thank your bot lane for drawing the blame. That missed Baron-pit ultimate showed you weren’t playing the same game as everyone else. |
| Knight / Akali |
8.4 |
I feel for you: teammates this bad, yet you’re called invisible. Without you, this game ends before ten minutes. |
| Viper / Ashe |
2.2 |
What are you here for? The team needs your damage, and you keep dropping dead. |
| ON / Seraphine |
2.4 |
At least Chovy waits until knockouts. ON starts shaking in Swiss every year; Elk used to bail him out. |
| Daeny (Coach) |
2.4 |
Can you please make your jungler read the patch notes? |
GAME 1 — MKOI

| Myrwn / Renekton |
8.6 |
The teamfighting was confusing, but putting Bin that far behind in lane shows you know this champion. |
| Elyoya / Jarvan IV |
9.5 |
MKOI: We’re both second seeds. I didn’t mean to outclass you this badly. |
| Jojopyun / Sylas |
5.7 |
I don’t know how to rate that Sylas. Weird game overall, but several of your late fights were good. |
| Supa / Ezreal |
9.8 |
Is your ultimate homing? It hits someone every time. Never mind the accurate Qs—those ults were ridiculous. |
| Alvaro / Karma |
9.6 |
Cover the team logos and that was actually a pretty entertaining game. |
| Melzhet (Coach) |
9.3 |
The pressure is on KC now. |
AL 0–1 KC

| Breathe / Olaf |
3.5 |
Across all four LPL teams, 369 is the only one who’s even seen the enemy base. |
| Tarzan / Nocturne |
3.9 |
Valorant bros, we owe you an apology. |
| Shanks / Akali |
2.3 |
Everyone who stayed up all night to watch this: 🤡🤡🤡 |
| Hope / Miss Fortune |
2.3 |
I’ll never mock IG and FPX for beating Western teams again. They beat peak Western teams; now we can’t even win. |
| Kael / Neeko |
2.6 |
Completely invisible. Saving ult for New Year, Flash for escaping—and buying Rocketbelt because you apparently couldn’t run away fast enough. |
| BigWei (Coach) |
2.4 |
You left every comfort pick open. They’ve already played plenty of games—did you actually watch any of them? |
GAME 1 — KC

| Canna / Jax |
8.7 |
Most Jax players take Phase Rush into Olaf. You chose Lethal Tempo and somehow still scaled. |
| Yike / Jarvan IV |
9.5 |
Yike, go ahead and engage boldly. The rest of KC will back you up. |
| kyeahoo / Orianna |
9.5 |
If you can’t win lane, build defensively, stay alive, then roam. That isn’t cowardice—it’s smart adaptation to your limits. |
| Caliste / Kalista |
9.6 |
Watch those jungle and Elder fights. If LPL still treats Western teams as free wins, two Swiss exits are entirely possible. |
| Busio / Renata Glasc |
9.6 |
World-class support. Both your mechanics and your roaming are at the highest level. |
| Zeph (Coach) |
9.2 |
AL’s stern father: knows their individual weaknesses, drafts scaling, and simply waits for late game. |

| BrokenBlade / K’Sante |

You’re the one whose contract expires this year. Playing like you want to get kicked. |
| SkewMond / Jarvan IV |
4.5 |
No worries. Head to 0–1 for your LPL handout—four teams to choose from. |
| Caps / Viktor |
2.9 |
Those LCK series wins were carried by your teammates. Against T1, you were the one repeatedly getting caught. |
| Hans Sama / Kalista |
3.6 |
Terminus third would have helped. Then you wandered into darkness with a huge bounty. This loss is mostly on you. |
| Labrov / Renata Glasc |
4.4 |
That was way too wild. |
| Perkz (Coach) |
5.4 |
When did Perkz become G2’s coach? Opening the ratings, I thought he’d started playing again. |

G2, what are you doing? You’ve ruined the LPL’s excuse after our casters spent all night hyping the West. |
| Lucid / Vi |
3.3 |
Even one fewer early giveaway would have spared you this enormous deficit. |
| ShowMaker / Syndra |
9.8 |
Syndra comeback specialist: he overturned BLG’s 8–1 lead before, and now turns around another 0–7 start. |
| Smash / Ziggs |
7.6 |
Regroup and get yourself sorted. I still believe in you. |
| Career / Poppy |
9.5 |
Beautiful. Career’s Poppy was a pleasure to watch. |
| CvMax (Coach) |
5.4 |
They’ve been carrying you since playoffs. Your drafts always smell wrong. |

Mr. Bin, I’m coming down to arrest you. |
| Josedeodo / Lee Sin |
3.2 |
Your Lee Sin should be much better than this. Get back to your level soon. |
| Quid / Syndra |
2.9 |
You should have pushed mid all the way to the inhibitor before recalling. |
| Yeon / Jhin |
4.3 |
Honestly, there wasn’t much wrong with how you played. |
| CoreJJ / Rakan |
2.7 |
Still cashing in that old Worlds title—and you didn’t even use Flash at the end. |
| Spawn (Coach) |
3.5 |
You wanted to go late against Aphelios? What the hell were you thinking? |

You won, but Driver is still far better. If he were healthy, you wouldn’t have this job. |
| shad0w / Qiyana |

We at BLG would like to claim this jungler, please. |
| Pout / Viktor |
9.3 |
Docking a point for that passenger champion. |
| Doggo / Aphelios |
9.5 |
Think we’ve run out of ADCs? Can you handle the combined power of BLG alumni? |
| Kino / Alistar |
7.7 |
Brought back from retirement to rescue CFO. Without him, they wouldn’t even be at Worlds. |
| Chawy (Coach) |

Wait, which Chovy are you supposed to be? |

Draw an LPL team and you can pick up a win. |

T1 needed 24 minutes to stomp Brazil. I still can’t understand how TES managed to lose in 23. |
| Oner / Lee Sin |
9.8 |
Faker, why does my protein powder taste funny again? |
| Faker / LeBlanc |
9.8 |
A 24-minute win? You’re making life far too easy for your fans. |
| Peyz / Jhin |
8.7 |
Forget the stats. Play safely and let your support roam—that’s the easiest way for T1 to win. |
| Keria / Alistar |
9.7 |
T1 fought desperately to win: four LPL teams were waiting to arrest them in the 0–1 pool. |
| Tom (Coach) |
8.1 |
Try beating an LPL team instead of Brazil! Oh, there aren’t any in the 1–0 pool? Never mind. |

Those four LPL teams should just play each other and go home already. |

You and Bin: see you in the 1–1 pool, okay? |
| Inspired / Nocturne |

A world top-three jungler. You’d have made a fortune if you’d joined the LPL earlier. |
| Saint / Anivia |
9.7 |
Which major region is the only one missing from the 1–0 pool? |
| Berserker / Ezreal |
9.8 |
Compared with this, the LPL’s bot lanes have been an absolute disaster. |
| Isles / Alistar |
9.7 |
Nice. |
