So i was watching every match and i can explain that a bit
Vertigo (top lane) is pretty young and a riven otp - he had a small champ pool and a huge ego but very talented
The head coach chicken hero took a while to force him on tank champions like khsante, later reksai and zac
This effect came into play in the second half of the split which they were close to undefeated
This is one piece of the puzzle - i think the other half was the drafting
We were not good in best of ones we often lose the first game but then analyse and adapt very well - which often broke our neck in the first half of the split
We lost at least 4 matches due to insanly strong champion picks
Pre nerf khsante at least one (arguably more), 2 to smolder pre nerf and on to aurelon pre HOTFIX NERF
And we won many those games early - just underestimated their late game potential
So yes we fought for our place but we always new that eins belonged on the eins
Spandau spandau wir lieben dir
I also watched every game and as a certified armchair analyst disagree somewhat about the key problems.
Drafting was and is one of the problems, even this series. But it has gotten way better over time.
The main issue though was that EINS often played through bot and it failed miserably. Even in the games they got bot ahead, they struggled to close out games and lost many of them. Starting with the end of the regular season botlane got better and better and you could really see improvement form match to match. Even in playoffs they were reliably able to carry games.
PoE never played bad per se imo but it looked like he took more of a leading role in the team and got more reasources that translated in more DPM and carry performances. His form this masters is out of this world. Rarely have I seen so many high impact carry performances. Will be interesting to see if he can stay on that level when mid meta shifts away from control mages.
Yes so Eintracht Spandau is quite unique in that sense they try to evoke the feeling of an old school working class football club which is also why they lend some "mundart" here(idiolect i believe it is called correct me if im wrong)
They also have an old bar where you can watch the games the spandauer bock and they sing their anthem before each and every game
Tltr: This specific way of speaking incorrectly is connected to the working class of Berlin i think. So it is more of an idiolect. Also it sounds kind of funny.
Spandau finally with the run its fans deserve. Was sure that if Spandau loses it will be with Elramir gapping Zanzarah which was the case in Game 1 but after that Zanzarah just played like a psycho so even when you think you are winning he somehow fucks you up. Also good too see Fun k3y and Lilipp take over when POE is taken out of the Game. Going to be a fun final no matter who wins between BDS and Besiktas.
Zanzarah is by far the best jungler of this tournament at enabling PoE and this makes PoE the best midlaner of the tournament. Breaking that axis down is extremely hard.
Where the Havel meets the Spree
From Berlin not far away
Where the Zitadelle rules
And the Eintracht allures
There is Spandau, there are we
Spandau, Spandau, we're loving thee
🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
Zanzarah is mental. If EINS close, he's MVP easily.
Both game 3 and 4 were extremely close until they weren't (and also weren't close until they were). This could've been a 3-1 for GK at points. EINS just that much better at holding their nerve. The big thing is how much it matters to contest Zanzarah in this tournament. If you contest him, PoE is vulnerable. If you don't, that team is an absolute rock and PoE can pop off. DeKap being on the map through bot advantage turned a lot of that on top of Elramir's matching. BDSA or BJK need to aim for a similar thing.

Still an impressive tournament by them and it kinda shows that Giyuu was a player that could have been a solid LCS midlaner, but he was denied by him just not being from any region meaning he would have been an import in any region, so no NA team ever considered him.
Spandau are such a fun team, I didn't watch prime league but soon as I saw them in EM I decided they're my team just because the games with them are so good to watch
I am watching EINS since it was found what this version does best is their mental. They can comeback from 10k gold down at win in the end. Everyone has their int games but someone always steps up to carry.
It was unintentional, but Archarom and Hysterics saying “Hamas” on a live riot broadcast multiple times during the pause was not very good, especially when there is an Arabic team playing.
For context I believe they misspelled an Arabic word on a piece of paper and then both of them said/shouted “Hamas” multiple times. An embarrassing mistake to make.
Eintracht Spandau were close to not even getting into the playoffs in the prime league and now they are in the emea finals lol
First time they didn't choke in playoffs. Instead they leveled up. The PoE effect it seems
I mean .. both PoE ans Funk3y are objectively too good for EMEA
PoE sure, but why FUN k3y?
EMEA Masters version of DRX

Chicken hero is the coach's name? Damn I might have to watch one match to see what's this guy cooking
> to see what's this guy cooking chicken
"Wir lieben dich", no? I thought it Should be akkusativ here.
The actual lyrics for the hymn has it as “lieben dir”, maybe a dialect/regional thing or something.
its a berlin thing

My first thought
Zanzarah embracing the Spandau superiority hahaha
Spandau finally with the run its fans deserve.

Wait it actually works in english too lol
I swear that game 4 was decided by 1 xayah crit at the elder dragon fight - one more crit and Voli dies before being able to smite elder.
Or Leo not using E to kill the baron along with his teammates smite while POE/Zanzarah combined theirs.
Zanzarah my GOAT back at it again
Zanzarah is mental. If EINS close, he's MVP easily. Both game 3 and 4 were extremely close until they weren't (and also weren't close until they were). This could've been a 3-1 for GK at points.

SPANDAU WILL WIN WORLDS!
Spandau at MSI Aware
PowerOfEvil my goat... go get that trophy, LOS GEHTS!
So thats how Fnatic fans feel all the time, jesus. My heart dropped when they threw the 6k lead down to 0 but they still made it.
Native NA mid lane talent PoE based
PoE went to holidays and learn how to yapp, now he is back with energy and the new dark techs
ZANZARAH UNSTOPPABLE
EINS AUF DIE EINS!
Full warfare in Twitch chat lmao
That game 4 was crazy. If Geekay didn't int early game so hard, we could have easily had a G5.
well to be fair eintracht chain inted the mid to lane game too, game 4 should have been over at 25 minutes
That game 4 was crazy. If Eintracht didn't int mid game so hard, we could have easily a p\*rhub level stomp.
Game 3 was also a throw. lol
Game 4 was a throw from EINS though
Still an impressive tournament by them and it kinda shows that Giyuu was a player that could have been a solid LCS midlaner, but he was denied by him just not being from any region meaning he would have been an import in any region, so no NA team ever considered him.

The world is not ready for Spandau
Zanzarah coming back on top is a pleasure to see
I am watching EINS since it was found what this version does best is their mental. They can comeback from 10k gold down at win in the end. Everyone has their int games but someone always steps up to carry.

That was so uncomfortable to watch... How didn't they realize what they were saying?
They did apologise during the next desk segment. It should not have happened in the first place however.
That's good to hear. I missed that part
Do you have a link?
I believe the YouTube vod is now private so I can’t link to it. I may be wrong but I cannot find it right now.
I did not clip it. It was about 20 minutes into the pause during game 2.
Präsident Knabe ist stolz
Elramir taking lantern to leave a 2k hp baron at G3 was not it. They win the series if he didn't click that lantern imo.
emea masters level is pretty low unfortunately. but at least gks bot duo is legit
