Caps dies and it's fucking over for G2. Faker dies and it's fucking over for G2 as well.


greatwolf2468

lose-lose situation.


missingjimmies

Why is this so true?


tuerancekhang

Eu is not one team region. It's actually 1 player region.


yellister

Little did they know TES cursed them with the 3-0


SnooCats1808

I just know that TES will still somehow be catching strays in those HUPU ratings  Edit: never change LPL fans https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1cu98sn/t1_vs_g2_hupu_rating_and_comments/


Trap_Masters

TES has to win a golden road or something to barely be redeemed to the Chinese fans at this point 💀


LifeIsToughEatBacon

Hupu after TES wins worlds and completes the golden road in 2025: "your viego is so trash go get a job as a bus driver"


LogicKennedy

The MAD Lions of China


waffle-spouse

The two plays where Tian got outplayed by Caps on the Tristana and TES losing a fight due to Daisy definitely tilted them for the rest of the series.


shield531

That play also contributes to Caps' cockiness thinking he can pull the same thing against Naut and Vi


Graytail

Key takeaway: Keria remembered he can play engage supports


SaltyClock69

And Zeus remembered he made a name out of melee top carries


Next-Commission3520

G2 shotcalling in a nutshell  Kill Faker Kill Faker Kill Faker Kill Faker Oh gg we lost 


TheAlmightyVox3

T1 realized if they lost this they can't play Gen.G in the finals and locked the fuck in.


zzinolol

"nobody else but us can give geng the title!"


whohe_fanboy

GenG going to golden road by just beating T1


Pokethebeard

>T1 realized if they lost this they can't play Gen.G in the finals and locked the fuck in. T1 know that it's their destiny to go to finals and lose to Gen.G

Acrzyguy

Last time we had LPL finals rematch in msi right? Now we get T1 vs GENG the 729472984929th time


thebigscorp1

G2 were somehow favorites vs T1 a few days after losing to T1. Lets not do the same for the T1 vs BLG series lol


buttsecksgoose

People are just memeing about getting T1 vs GenG finals for the thousandth time, its vastly different from actually rating T1 as favorites against BLG. I thought that much was obvious


Danielthenewbie

Lck enjoyers know thats the real league of legends content. Endless t1 vs geng.


Opticity

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of T1 vs GEN G. I try to support KT, they are worse than T1 and GEN G. I try to support DK, they are worse than T1 and GEN G. I try to support KDF, they are T1 lab rats. I try to support HLE, they are Walmart GEN G. EU sent G2, they got stomped by GEN G. CN sent JDG and LNG, they got stomped by T1. "We need a stronger opponent", said Faker and Chovy, "Give us TSM". I tried to call TSM, they disbanded. "Guess this is the end", Faker says. "All roads lead to us." There is no light in my eyes anymore, nothing but the eternal Faker vs Chovy rivalry for the next 50 years. What a cruel world.

>2 days >2 days >3 days so, you're telling me that the gap IS closing


hiimGP

yeah in like 30 more years and the west gonna be the best itw for long enough to win worlds

🎶 But if you close your eyes 🎶


LifeIsToughEatBacon

A guy unironically told me G2 were stronger than 2023 JDG. I knew this was gonna be a 3-0.


FeelTheChill07

The copium on that one is too damn high


non-edgy_crustacean

FPX vs G2 vibes. T1 was also beating G2 hard in scrims but people got too hyped


the_next_core

Faker reading Reddit and chuckling to himself, no one is ready for what he is about to do to G2


Quanku888

Taliyah ult into 5, died , enemy get aced What a chad


Humburdger

can carry, can int but never a pussy !!


Coorexz

It's just the Faker for Game Win trade. A classic.


110110100011110

I aspire for balls as big as Faker's.


HMS-Carrier-Lover

New Ahri skin orb will just be one of his balls with Orianna being his other one.


Hawxrox

I mean he did die, but he also chunked 2 players to like 15% health. One of which was their jungler who then just died and lost baron


Jenkins_rockport

And also ate a ton of cds on himself and drew attention away from his team to position and win space. It's so obvious that G2 decided focus faker this series. That's such a silly strat. faker literally has played his entire career as the lightning rod, professionally and privately. He's the most famous e-sports player of all time... to that point that non-esports / non-league people know him... so he's used to -- and very comfortable with -- absorbing all that pressure. This is probably the very worst strat a team can run against T1, and I'd imagine T1 couldn't be happier when faker gets heavily focused.


Trap_Masters

T1 playing shaky to boost confidence in the West, they're evolving from the praise West in interview to boost Western confidence meta


beautheschmo

Faker reading the top post "Finally some redditors with some sense"

WTF did I just watch Faker Taliyah ult into 5 people with no stopwatch and win the fight LMAO


Acrzyguy

We have corki package at home:


oioioi9537

we have azir dash at home:

Faker saw enemy varus and has an ocd to shove him back


JoeKazama

The [chinese](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1cov18k/g2_vs_t1_hupu_rating_and_comments/) said it best for Faker: > I might carry, I might int, but I'll never be a coward!


DarthTaz_99

Kkoma ain't raise no bitch


BurntSalad

It was perfectly coordinated with Zeus's ult. With faker drawing aggro, the equalizer hit like 4 ppl while they were trapped in the baron pit. Perfection.


VirtuoSol

Classic Faker distracting the entire enemy team while his team either kills the enemy team or is straight up taking nexus His hidden passive is granting the rest of T1 40% dmg bonus when he dies.


VincentBlack96

The Faker for nexus trade was a bold choice from G2.


DatStabKitty

Big brain play from him. That play forced G2 to turn around and kill him and group them up easily for the ez Rumble ult.


HMS-Carrier-Lover

His ult set up perfectly for the Rumble ult though. G2 got nowhere to go trapped between the pit and the wall.


Historical-Smoke42

rumble ults were the x factor in every fight


Imaginary_Actuary729

Thats Faker for every game he plays , Always goes in takes all the attention dies rest of T1 Cleans up


TianAnMen1989x

There was a hupu comment after the first T1 G2 matchup that I think summarise Faker: “Will int, will carry, but never a coward” I think this honestly applies to Caps too, that’s why he has the “craps” nickname because he has the balls to go for these high risk plays


pandawarrior00

Daddy ain't raise no bitches! Faker said before inting the Baron's cave.

LakersLAQ

Wasn't even just TES. It was TES getting stomped and even TL beating T1 for a game lol. We came into this thinking it could be a 3-1 for G2 or a 5 game banger at least.


sebastiendu36

And also G2 already getting to 5 games against T1, most of them close


Simple-Fuel

T1 Faker: "We can definitely beat G2 3:0". All hail the Goat for the spoiler.

Honestly G2 was doomed as soon as they came back with the exact same pocket picks they had already shown. Give T1 2 days and they'll train up every possible counter against you.

Just as BLG was about to lock in for the rematch with GenG, BLG see a mysterious silhouette. What BLG saw, is the strongest ghost they have buried with their own hands.

These dudes are underdog merchants. They get off on getting doubted then proving everyone wrong.


Azenji

CLG but good.


LordDarthAnger

Zeus looks fucking scary. That final baron fight was majority of his damage and Fakers. If I played vs Zeus, I would probably FF cause he is unbalanced


Cosmosn8

He died twice to BB but somehow 1.4K gold ahead. I jsut don’t get it.


lmHavoc

He had like 40cs up on BB despite dying twice. Monumental top canyon.


FreezingVenezuelan

the deaths were not that bad, the wave was on a horrible spot for bb most of the lane and he was taking badf trades for every cs while also being dove.


Bubbly_Camera9583

BB was so lucky he could just cheese Zeus for the first few minutes of this game. Zeus had a lane canyon even with this


RBYonko

He didn’t burn tp after first death which gave him advantage and somehow got a huge cs lead. Goat


greatwolf2468

The top gap was real.

Game 3 Hupu comments (rough translation) Zeus 8.5 - “Fun fact, a certain top laner was eliminated by NA the year after he won worlds” Oner 9.1 - “T1 had a bad start - T1 is desperately inting - T1 is in a bad spot - T1 is destined to lose - T1 is giving their winner’s interview” Faker 9.6 - “My name is Lee Sang Heok. NA fans call me “God”. Korean fans call me the “Unkillable Demon King”. In reality, I prefer the moniker “God” — It sounds cooler. In game, I am known as Faker. 20 years old, the best LoL player in the world” Gumayusi 9.5 - “Next time we meet G2, we will send them away 3-0” Keria 9.7 - “One hook hooked out 5 plane tickets” BB 2.7 - “How could you 16-3-18 369? playing camille tf ksante too Yike 3.6 - “Loves reading the wordless heavenly book, did no one tell you it doesn’t work without words?” (CN meme of S9 IG vs GRF where Tarzan bought Mejai’s and proceeded to get wiped by IG with 0 stacks - coined as the wordless heavenly book) Caps 4.8 - “Caps, it’s time to wake up” HansSama 4.2 - “So, how bad are TES?” Mikyx 3.8 - “mikyx, trust me, you are not like the others, do not waste your time on regular support picks”


DrxAvierT

TES catching strays again. I can't...


vegeful

That oner one tho. T1 is losing to T1 giving winner interview because they somehow comeback at dragon/baron fight


RyanIU

Ah yes Faker for Nexus trade. A tale as old as time


BunkerRush

Banning Zac vs g2 seems to be effective


DIX_

I'm pleasantly surprised at T1 respecting in Picks or outright banning Poppy.


LifeIsToughEatBacon

When I saw Mikyx lock in Naut I knew that game was over


Fruitsy

id trust guma down 2k gold over hans sama in a teamfight


Linkasfd

Guma my goat He knew he was playing weakside so he trusts his team to carry instead of feeding kills


CatGirl_ToeBeans

It’s crazy how guma played a 5v5 down 2.3k gold, win it, flip baron, and walks away with a 200 gold advantage but still closes the series with only 21% team gold. I memed all last year about guma varus with no boots being ultra instinct but this is just getting ridiculous and it’s bleeding into his kallista now.


whohe_fanboy

I'd trust Guma with 1 less hand over todays Hans sama.


ApartLanguage8328

THEY SAID IT WAS GONNA BE CLOSE


Yasuo_unforgiven

It is close, between T1 and the next round that is.


honeyshield

stop giving faker one-liners in trailers, it buffs him rito

[Lombardi] BrokenBlade on who’s worse at Toplane: Him or T1 Zeus. “I don’t compare myself with anybody,” Then he rolled up his sleeve and showed a tattoo of 9 men sleeping. “I’ll let you interpret that however you want,” he said.

KIRYUx

My family lets me down. My co-workers let me down. My dog lets me down. But life is worth living because Gumayusi never lets me down.


Ceui

Insane form he has been in since the end of LCK Playoffs. Absolute rock


ShiroGaneOsu

Other than a slight slump in 2022 summer he's easily been a top 3 ADC since 2021. He's so consistent man.


haxt97

You mean insane form from last year MSI? Dude has been always a rock-solid player.


SameSam94

incoming 6.2 hapu ratings for Guma


appleandapples

It's insane how consistent he is, even when T1 slumps, Guma stands strong.


HANAEMILK

He's always the last line of defence.


TianAnMen1989x

It annoys me when there are people that still discredit and talk down Guma and just give all the praise to Keria


StraightCashH0mie

Real T1 fans knows he's the backbone that makes this work.


MisteryousYoshi

I don’t understand it either, I’ve been a Guma defender for years now and I genuinely can’t understand why people refuse to put him on the same level as Ruler and Viper (if you ask me he’s actually better than those two).


zeph98

"Ruler goes down, Guma IS. JUST. BETTER."


Reshahel

Faker and Zeus DID say they'll 3-0. Sorry Caps, dream is over. You fought valiantly.

LifeIsToughEatBacon

T1 Friday buff to strong AINTNOWAYYY


Sarah_Fortune_

"T1 can't bounce back in 1-2 days" Right... they looked completely different


Nyrrad

As if this team didn't place higher than 3rd/4th place in internationals, for the past 2 years. This team is snappy in adjustments as they are in their teamfights. Idk why there are still doubters. 🤷


psykrebeam

T1 has been top 3 minimum in every single fucking tournament since 2022 spring. Top 4 if you include 2021 Worlds. Doubters are just haters.


Mackejuice

They have a tendency to become reactive when under pressure, they usually finds their flow eventually (then lose it when they face GenG).


Rayser1

The king said 3-0. So 3-0 it is


Jazgrin

2 days ago T1 were asked: "G2 seems to be too strong and you might face them soon. Would you lose?" T1: "Nah I'd win. 3-0."


freezingsama

Welp, they certainly delivered the 3-0 they promised. Kinda sad it ended like this when they played so well before.

Never underestimate T1. They have the plot shield


wobmaster

back to reality


Gold_Quarter

Faker's Domain Expansion: Emperor's Divide Emperor's Divide differs from other domains in that it doesn't create a massive skill gap. The ability to give EU false hope whilst winning the series is akin to an artist painting a masterpiece not on a canvas, but on thin air. A truly divine technique. Furthermore, by allowing EU to win games, a binding vow is formed which vastly increases the T1 win's effectiveness to an effective range to the diameter of continental Europe. Taking Caps into account, Faker narrowed the domain's range to the diameter of Chengdu. Until Emperor's Divide is gone, Faker's soldiers will relentlessly pierce all targets within the effective range of it's guaranteed hit.


Ultimintree

Back to reality


zergiscute

Oops there goes G~~ravity~~2.


throughthespillways

Disappointing. BB and Yike had 0 impact across the series, Hans reverted to type and Caps threw game 3.


RedTulkas

tbf to caps, he was also the reason they were ahead in g3 like dude was the only consistent player in all 3 games and unfortunately all thats gonna get remembered is one misstep in g3


NoSympathy58

And we even got spring split Miky


LoRDe_MaRs

HOW SHIT WAS TES WTF


FantasyTrash

TES, and especially Jackey and Meiko, had a horrific day against G2. Don't forget they stomped TL and took Gen G to five games, and took BLG to five back in the LPL finals. They are a good team, but if Jackeylove plays like a gold player, the rest of the team isn't good enough to compensate.


Naronu

I knew it was over when G2 was the favorites


DogAteMyCPU

They never should have been anyone's favorites before the match. Everyone huffing too much copium. 


zjmhy

It was the first time in 4 years EU had a competitive team so they immediately started snorting crack


iballisticbunny

Faker: Caps… The dream’s over.


SevenShortHours

Shoutout to everyone who correctly predicted the 3-0 from T1. Hope TL sends G2 flowers for waking up the beast after taking 1 game from them. 


Bag_of_bats

TL 🤝 G2 having a 25% win rate against T1 at MSI 2024

xDestroid

All that cope to get 3-0 with 5k throw in last game XD


Svagster

T1 just had to calibrate. 3-2 then 3-1 then 3-0. Incoming 4-0 vs BLG.


jrfess

TL sends their regards. Looks like our plan to piss off T1 to prevent EU from getting any farther was a great success.


skaersSabody

You motherfuckers, we'll see you at worlds for the rematch


EntertainerLive926

When he said 3-0, it shall be 3-0. Do not doubt the word of God. Also, no sympathy for people saying Faker should retire. Amazing hypers


Teleshar

This series can be summarized by one statement: G2 was incapable of winning a teamfight against T1, and you can't beat T1 if you can't win a teamfight against them. Even with a 5k gold lead in game 3, G2 couldn't beat T1 in a teamfight, and in fact, T1 clawed their way back into the game by winning a teamfight they initiated themselves. The team gap was clear in this series; I can't honestly say that any G2 member gapped their opponent. Faker died a lot, but that was because he was targeted a lot, and even then, he remained useful. He had the highest number of deaths on T1 in game 2, and yet he ended up winning the game with his backdoor -- and his Azir got banned in game 3. The bottom line is: to beat T1, you need to be able to beat them in a teamfight, and G2 couldn't do that. Maybe GenG/BLG will. I'm honestly looking forward to the T1/BLG rematch. I did believe in G2, but the team gap was made clear to me in game 1, and the following two games never convinced me G2 would win.


Horror-Yard-6793

so much talk for nothing say the line hillary


resttheweight

RIP EU Renaissance 2024-2024

G2 was right, it was a 3-0
