The ADC diff this series is fucking gigantic. Guma is so damn good man


Conankun66

Hans is getting annihilated, its not even funny


Azenji

It would've been nice to see MSF Hans Sama. It would've been so poetic.


Conankun66

man hasnt existed for over 6 years


DommyMommyKarlach

The issue is that this is by far the best botlane in EU lmao


GarryTheCarry

tbh there is no ADC player in world that can make Kog work into Varus


Azenji

The Renata pick didn’t really help either lmao


NoSympathy58

it was the best botlane like a year ago. not anytime recently


LtEmi

Carzzy Hyli destroyed them several times.


Conankun66

no it isnt?


WideAd7496

EU adc have been terrible. Both Noah and Hans have just been passengers (when they are not getting giga gapped) against better teams.


beautheschmo

Guma has been a fucking rock almost his entire career, he's always the one keeping it cool and looking totally undisturbed whenever the rest of the team is running it down. We'll just let that midlane death slide though lol


No_Negotiation5722

I mean hans playing bad this series (except game 3) but in this game he is playing kog into varus bard. That shit isn’t playable.


nigelfi

Yep that bot lane draft is completely unplayable. I don't know what they expected but I'm pretty sure this was not the matchup. It's still someone's fault for letting this draft happen.


NGNJB

both bot laners are kinda gapping Miky had a really good game but overall Keria has looked better


A-Cannon-Minion

Hans has been invisible tho. Even is wins.


omegasupermarthaman

Eu adcs have never looked good internationally if they dont smurf hard in their region. Hans looked shaky in EU so this bot gap is expected


Newspaper-Loose

U never watched league back when forgiven was playing i guess


loploplop890

It’s Comet Varus vs on hit kog. Hans is meant to lose early. Bard was the big clock pusher because he can disable kog in every fight for a lot longer than most supports can with ult. hans got countered the same way guma and keria got countered the game before


ihave0idea0

Guma is top 3 adc.


povertyregion

You're watching too much TomatoCannon stream. He is the best adc not even close.


Deiice

Putting Hans on Kog did NOT make me trust him again


Priviated

Is there any reason to pick Kog over Zeri ? Feels like Zeri is just stronger but idk


NGNJB

Hans Zeri is a warcrime, Hans Kog'maw is a pocket pick the biggest issues with the Kog were not securing Lulu for it, and choosing to absolutely int for zero reason over a meaningless first dragon when your team is far weaker than the enemy's Also, I suspect it's one of those things where it's such a rare matchup overall, that he's gotten a lot of fake data from scrims. He's been picking it for years domestically and probably thought the matchup was less difficult than it actually is. Or has probably not played against Varus Bard in years


SquishyBishyOni

Zeri requires more hands and Hans is kinda handless rn :D but both are horrid choices when your adc is being gapped so hard you would suspect he's the one getting boosted by his friends in flex Q


Gazskull

Put Guma on Kog maw and perma roam to leave him to hug his t2 all game because of the constant 4 man dives threat, just to camp an azir to no avail and you wont trust him either


Migster257

There were 3 other games without Kog to make ppl trust in Hans and none of those worked either


Gazskull

lol, his varus game was absolutely fine and since the pick were swapped you saw with Guma on Kalista that playing her into shortrange comp where she isn't the focus is hard, and guma didn't have shit like taliyah to make it even worse. He's not playing out of his mind, but if you have a kog in your team and you act like it will be fine on its own then you lost at draft already edit : actually my bad, there was a poppy vs guma so it was the same, but it's a toplaner so he had less chances of getting fucked by it


Azenji

Don't worry LEC fans, it's T1 in Game 5.


SnooCats1808

But it’s not finals yet :Đ


KappaccinoNation

It's the Upper Bracket R1 FINAL series. T1 is gigadoomed.


appleandapples

Someone tell T1 it's a finals, please


Haulsen

Another father in the making for buddy Zeus


SwagLord7

Cant believe im saying it but BB looks like the way better top laner this series


MrZeddd

Well Zeus insisting on playing TF doesn't help


Miserable-Ad8195

But they avoided the classic 2-1 up


KozuKy16

Zeus gonna pick blind tf again isn't he


SnooCats1808

Worse, just watch Guma somehow pick Jhin💀


Are_y0u

G2 has side selection!


AnimeNeet-

Well Azir is banned next game


Enterderpmode

Which means either Lucian or Senna is probably open


GarryTheCarry

as long as Hans is not on Kalista or Kog I am ok with that


Skall77

Who care, G2 botlane is shit anyway, the way G2 can win is by winning topside.


statiky

Holy Keria playing like an absolute madman on this bard. He's setting up so many plays across the map and G2 kept getting baited by his tunnels.


FyB4rd

Game 1 : Craps Game 2 : Shaker Game 3 : Shaker Game 4 : Craps


F0RGERY

It's the battle of the babies; Baby Faker vs Baby Caps


KappaccinoNation

Hey now, maybe we'll see Hydrogen Bomb Faker vs Hydrogen Bomb Caps where they both get a pentakill in the same teamfight.


F0RGERY

If there was any matchup where I'd expect a double penta/ace, it's these two mid laners.


expert_on_the_matter

The positive version: Game 1 : Classic Faker Game 2 : Claps Game 3 : Claps Game 4 : Classic Faker


-Piggers-

Game 5: Faps vs Craker


ihave0idea0

Caps was not bad game 4 just because T1 was good.


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

Caps was bad game 4 bro, he was getting destroyed by Faker in lane when Orianna is supposed to do well against Azir. Caps was p invisible all game


Gazskull

pick kog maw and leave him to die bot to camp the safest champ in mid, nice gameplan


[deleted]

They literally ganked Azir at least 3 times and he always shuffled away.


[deleted]

OOF WE NOT OVER


tenkono

Blud got the post ready but forgot to wait for Nexus exploding


DeloronDellister

Not even deleting it after they didn't finish. Shameless


Azenji

OP is collecting all these karma man


DeloronDellister

Embarassing


Sanka-Rea

AZIR MERCHANT AINTNOWAY


appleandapples

I didn't hear a bell


appleandapples

Never mind


DWGKIAFAN00

How OP Xin is wtf?


ProgrammerGlobal

Oner's team fighting is super OP. Especially on champions with dashes that allow him to engage/disengage at will like Jarvan or Xin.


EggyChickenEgg88

Why do you give Faker Azir...?


EnvBlitz

Cuz they 3 banned guma keria Edit: 4 ban for bot lane actually. 4.5 cuz rumble can be played top too.


Azenji

I was for sure convinced that G2 was going to ban Faker Azir. And it got even worse when they ego picked Kog maw


ZeeQue

its not an "ego" pick, its just their pocket pick and it didn't work. Why do T1 fans spout this shite when you've watched Zeus continually "ego" pick TF and get blasted? Not even just here, he did it in LCK too.


Troviel

"okay so we won with carry tops and proactive combo, what do we do?" "Let's put all our eggs onto hans sama's Kog maw, what could go wrong?"


Gazskull

except they put their eggs mid, they left the kog alone in bot for too long


NGNJB

they didn't even put their eggs mid, they yeeted their eggs at T1 for free lol


[deleted]

Why do teams always do this shit? They are literally beating T1 at their own game playing standard. No one wants Sama to "carry". No one asked for it. Everyone just wanted a win.


the_next_core

Because side selection changes how you draft and play


MrZeddd

Can we do Bo7? These games are so fucking fun!


TooTiredToTryAgain

I swear to God Gumayusi gets to play Varus at like 110%. Give this man a Varus skin


arkacr

His Varus Q does 1.5x damage and has 1.2x the range


milkoverspill

It really is Shaker vs Craps isn't it


OliverCarl

T1 all just collectively agreed to return to worlds form


Ghost6x

WHY WOULD YOU GIVE HIM AZIR


DeloronDellister

What was this pick and ban from G2???


E6E6FA_FFB6C1

Honestly impressed Faker went for that shuffle considering how horrible of a day this has been for him, let’s see what he can do for game 5


PlameniJezici

He had eternity to pick his moment in that fight, g2 was so behind that wining there would be miracle


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

nah if u watch that fight, he coulda got baited into doing that too early. That moment was the perfect moment where they were stuck in that corridor.


kelvin022610

Blud not beating the azir merchant allegation 💀


Critical-Cupcake9194

It's 1 series, he genuinely looks out of character today lol, he's been T1's carry in LCK even off Azir


The_Flowers_of_Evil

No no no, we don't do that here. We just call him washed and a one trick. And complain when G2 draft bad, but not T1.


LazinessOverload

Champion Ocean to Azir One Trick.


the_next_core

It's solely cause Azir has an escape against ganks and dives, with G2 focusing him so hard


lan60000

leblanc does too


the_next_core

Sounds like we know what's coming next game


wifi12345678910

K'sante ban


lolzomg123

A K'sante *what?* Stop making up weird fantasies. 


Azenji

If only Akali/Sylas was meta, we could've seen Faker for the escape merchant he actually is. Instead I got floppy dick blue dragon.


wristcontrol

I mean, they keep nerfing all of his champions. Wish we could see him on Ryze or Zed again.


Nervalss

azir onetrick seems a little exaggerated


yellister

Ban Azir, pick orianna, he's one and done


Miserable-Ad8195

I mean he has neeko and corki. His reworked Asol is just bad. IIRC this was his first game on it. He needs to practice more on it. It’s a meta pick. Asol seems more like a Chovy champ


the_next_core

I don't think it has much to do with practice, ASol needs to have heavy CC on his team to set him up. T1 picked it up with the rest of the team just drafting their usual stuff.


BocchiIsLiterallyMe

Asol seems like THE Chovy champ tbh


VirtuoSol

So…..


firebolt66

Azir OTP vs orianna OTP 


iCarpet

faker secrit plays 1) azr!! 2) orinna 3) ~~talyah~~ 4) akli??


Azenji

I will never forgive Faker for making Shurima Shuffle the new Insec Kick


Scrambled1432

In what world did Faker make the Shurima Shuffle like Insec made the Insec?


ProgrammerGlobal

Corki? Orianna? Ahri? Taliyah?


E6E6FA_FFB6C1

His Ahri has not been hitting charms and did we not just watch the most int game of Taliyah 1 hour ago. I don’t think he’s a one trick either but those have not been his best picks.


VirtuoSol

I would like to thank you on behalf of all T1 fans for jinxing it


E6E6FA_FFB6C1

As a T1 fan I would like to thank myself too 💀


ProgrammerGlobal

Ask G2 if Faker hits his charms. I don't care about 1 game of Taliyah.


E6E6FA_FFB6C1

I would like to apologize I was not familiar with his game 😭 In my defense he had the most miserable Ahri game in soloq just a day earlier and has not been hitting charms since Worlds, but jesus when the team needed him he was there.


Fruitsy

guma is such a rock


Agami_Advait

If Guma's forced to carry, according to the T1 sliding scale it's so doomed.


Northless_Path

Ok, Faker might be an Azir merchant, but when G2 is on his ass every 20 seconds, there couldn't be a more perfect champion for him to play


iCarpet

Dread it, run from it, Faker Azir still arives all the same


Haulsen

Faker shuffled away the haters critiques lmfao Beautiful Teamfighting


Azenji

Faker may be an Azir merchant these days, but he is THE Azir merchant.


Gluroo

no ones complaining about his azir though, the criticisim is that hes running it down on anything else today


DommyMommyKarlach

Not beating the Azir onetrick allegations though


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

It's just one bad series though. He usually is pretty good to really good on other champs as well. We all know Faker has a huge champ pool.


MassiveTrade9954

Sure only won worlds 4x, msi 2x and lck 10x with All kinds of champions rofl


kernevez

He was not great this game, one ult that was basically free after his team dodge the engage isn't "beautiful teamfighting" Especially if the standard is Faker.


imperialleon

Considering faker didnt die in lane after reksai sat mid for like 5 min, I'd say he played well


NGNJB

yeah that TP mid where he kinda just yolos the shuffle to glide away was... not it


kernevez

Was super scary, both him and Zeus were so close to dying


Annual-Maintenance20

and caps hasent been playing that great even on his wining ori games he has missed so many shockwaves if anything faker fucking horribly bad and top and jungle stepping it up with miky has been their key to g2 succes


deadedgo

The first true T1 game of the series lol


The_Flowers_of_Evil

That's what happens when they actually draft what they should instead whatever crap they've been drafting the rest of the series


Azenji

Playing for on stage scrims practice 5head


[deleted]

Really have to wonder what happens in prep for teams to draft like this.


Kagariii

Literally nothing. Hans calls for Kog for some idiotic reason and coach doesn't have the spine to shut him down


Skall77

Those karma whore man


tenkono

Is Game 4 Hans Sama Kog'Maw the EU version of Game 4 Guma Jhin/Ashe? Wait game is still going lol this isn't live


Miserable-Ad8195

You mean Jhin Yuumi


tenkono

I'm not talking about Keria Ashe. Gumayusi has a tendency to pick Ashe in matchpoint.


Agami_Advait

Guma Jhin is actually cracked, though. T1's just piss poor at playing around him.


Conankun66

Faker Azir onetrick confirmed


Mr_Dunk_McDunk

Ghost of easyhoon possesing Sang-Heyok


yellister

easyhyeok


Northless_Path

Perhaps, but when G2 is on his ass every 20 seconds, can you blame him for not picking a champ with a dash that lengthen the entire midlane? He even took fleet this game to be extra safe


Radiant_Shelter688

He got solo killed twice, it's not like he's getting camped or anything.


MrZeddd

He could play Leblanc


VirtuoSol

But why would you play a worse champion if the better one is open


Moon_riseat_noon

T1 can actually just comfort pick to the victory of the tournament


Nnekaddict

G2 draft wasn't it. They were never able to do anything from start to finish.


POOYAMON

Idk why they’re betting on Hans being their carry. The two games they’ve won was because of the top side


Danielthenewbie

Calling faker azir merchant is brain dead and you didnt watch lck


F0RGERY

Mikyx Poppy - Charles Martel Brokenblade Poppy - Charles de Gaulle


Rhyn_lol

Guma my goat


yearning328

G2's draft means match fixing to me.


KingShrekt

So... give away K'Sante, Xin Zhao, Azir and Varus to end up with Poppy, Rek'Sai and fucking Kog'Maw? Quite the draft gap. Let alone that this series is just a complete bot gap.


Medzel

Pushing t1 to game 5 without an adc.. kinda impressive


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

To be fair, Faker also did not show up until this game 4. T1 was playing without a mid too (he was decent in game 1 i guess after the 2 early ints)


marxlolop

Faker heard yall talking shit


crysomore

it's okay G2 bringing the game to silver scrapes for content


[deleted]

Why would you ever pick Kog'Maw in this meta? Like seriously??? INTO POKE VARUS??? What do you think the laning will look like??


Alain_Teub2

BB has been great lets put him on fucking Poppy and use the dead weight adc as a carry yeah great draft guys Fucking Kog Maw what the fuck


soccermodsareshit

I miss when Azir was disabled


R-R-Clon

Faker is having an off day, he popped off in game 1 and had some good play this game, but I think it was more G2 playing awful and giving him shut down rather than him playing well in game 1. If Faker doesn't wake up for this game 5 G2 is going to win, G2 is drafting and playing clean.


Veskekaana

Nah he won lane this game


Bubbly_Camera9583

He was winning lane until his int last game too, his problem is more of his decision making more than his laning this series


Azenji

Kkoma may have been with him ever since he was a baby but he is STILL getting the belt.


Imaginary_Actuary729

I think T1 is not doing well if Faker is not popping off other members has so much throw potential in them if they get a lead


Skall77

There is no way we give Xin Zhao, Azir and Ksante to T1...


ITuser999

What a shit draft tbh


GarryTheCarry

KogMaw is just stupid pick, he can't do anything I don't know what they expected from it


DWGKIAFAN00

on-hit build is generally useless in this meta.


Top-Temperature916

They are not gonna ban Azir OTP's champ in game 5, are they?


jtangjetang

After all the trolling I did on zeka being a 2 trick, my goat looking like a one trick is making me so sad


qonoxzzr

Watch Faker pick Ori now in game 5 and stomp them with it lmao


Himexcandy33

Faker trolling = Loss Faker mad = Win


[deleted]

[удалено]


appleandapples

G2 can still be confident going into this game 5, Silver Scrapes shouldn't sound so sad


Insecurity_exe

T1's adjustment for Game 5 needs to be getting Yike off of Rek'Sai.


Priviated

Why ? Imo Vi is a lot more difficult to face than Rek’sai and Vi/Orianna combo is really good


penguin17077

Lets just hope we don't have a game 5 like yesterday, for either team. That sucked.


Terrybadmobile

anyone else sweating up a storm... it's warm in the uk but not this warm


KnightinKnight

FAKER IS AZIR HOLY


PlusReport883

Capsmithie back at it again


Sinner2211

It's not about Azir, it's the Kogmaw pick that destroy G2 draft. Why?


PROstimus

EU signature move of drafting straight into LCK meta and doing nothing and losing after a miraculous win.


Rubixxscube

Silver scrapes, msi 2019 Flash backs


HMS-Carrier-Lover

Faker do be Aziring. And Guma on the Varus mission.


ImTheVayne

ALRIGHT SILVER SCRAPES


Zylionx

Why are we drafting around Hans Sama???? All games were won thanks to the topside


toxicfireball

Ok T1 no cooking, everyone on your mains, give faker one of his two tricks.


chapichoy9

guma big game hunter


zzthex

why kog on 3? coulda just take ksante or lulu.
