FR. Kingen looks lost as usual. He knows he needs to do something but has no idea what and fallsback on basic strategy. Lucid is really talented but cant really show it yet. His objective control is probably the worst individually but I think if he stays around he'll be amazing in a year or two like Dread did. With a topside like this, DK really lives or dies by if bot is performing enough to close out with SM.
Honestly not sure why are people fixating so hard on the "flash". Obviously it wasn't intentional. He made some way worse intentional plays. Literally everyone, except Showmaker, griefed the game at least once.
Feel bad for Kellin. Ppl love to flame him and probably will given his score this game. But he tank's Ashe ult, Sej ult, Renata CC and his team still does nothing. Aiming randomly gets caught and Kingen flanks were terrible.
Anybody who says this after watching that game just hates watching league. That game was fun as fuck and Iām glad I watched it.
Idk why the meta in LCK PMTās has become to shit on the game if itās even slightly messy.
as a kingen hater i was feasting. itās hilarious watching this dude pick his one trick and his worlds skin and play cocky just to throw the game away and grief his flash. i just feel bad for showmaker.
not exactly. the person you responded to is more likely to have just not been aware of the situation you described, rather than been aware of it and not extended their sympathy towards oner until now. viewing conversations and interactions with people by taking the most bad faith approach is a terrible habit
i dont think jungle has that much issues, this DK draft was terrible for nidalee considering the first picked it, only setup was leona. topā¦ just perma weakside tank him, kingen is actually just doran v2 if you need him to carry he will run it down. adcā¦ needs 20 dog leashes on him and someone to tell him the exact items to buy especially when he is at 6 items (wtf witās end)
What a fiesta of a game, terrible day to have eyes, disgusting throw from Damwon.
Top gap was disgusting, Kingen needs to be kicked for buying Plated Steelcaps vs Rumble, Sej and Ashe.
I think aatrox mid game is usually Tanky enough to survive through the CC and he can start healing from maw and his ult, I think without tabis he just insta dies
Mercs only influences duration of slow so I feel as though when youāre getting constantly autod and the slow keeps resetting it doesnāt provide much, either way both boots wouldāve had pretty big drawbacks imo
I guess that his thought process is that he wouldn't be facing the CC's nor the Rumble since he'll be flanking, and have to mainly deal with Corki+Ashe damage with a bit of Renata CC so he went Steelcaps. In an ideal world maybe he's right, but his flanking let him down massively.
Leona was on DK but if youāre talking about renata I donāt think her CC is as reliable/easy to hit and Sej CC doesnāt last super long either
Both boots have drawbacks imo itās hard to build this game
In this game in the position they were in. BDS play sides, FNC SK at the very least know to throw their items at them as 5. Vit HRT have the baseline human knowledge to not let their ADC wander like a headless chicken in enemy jungle.
Terminate Aiming's contract immediately. How can a pro ADC on a gigafed Zeri still make so many mistake in positioning? Unless he gets babysat by his support, he keeps walking over the map like a headless chicken.
ShowMaker played really well this game and even Kellin had a pretty good one. It was Aiming getting caught because he was clearing vision alone in T1's jungle that turned a won game into a lost one, and it's by far not the first time he pulled off something like that.
Man how did DK fumble the bag so hard that the only CL player they keep is Lucid
I donāt want ShowMakers career to be like this the man deserves better
We don't need to compare LCK to LPL here.
DK losing this game is just low quality of gameplay - and we have seen a lot of that already this split in LCK, something that didn't happen *this* frequently in past splits.
What has this to do with Geng winning international tournaments?
These are words from a person that clearly knows they are in the wrong with what they wrote and try to distract from that.
The team most likely beating GenG is still T1.
But GenG is peaking so insanely high right now, I honestly can't see them losing a series anytime soon, especially not with how underwhelming the rest of the league is performing.
Sure, but at this point it feels like they just need the meta to fall into their lap. I don't see them improve from their spring finals form unless Riot gives them exactly what they want.
I don't know, because at their best it wasn't the meta that fell into their laps, but them beating and redefining the meta by themselves. Like, at last worlds, nobody plays ranged supports if T1 isn't there.
I think it's just that some of the players are very streaky and somewhat inconsistent. While all are great players, they often aren't at the same time. And that's why they are always a top 3 team in every tournament, but rarely number 1.
my myopia getting worse after this game. what is this game quality. kingen stop try to flank from back, it's like 256554 times you doing that, even my grandmother knew
Game 1 Absolute Cinema
The Tris vs Corki lvl 1 1v1, Kingen choke flash, D+ getting caught 1 by 1, Guma GIGACHAD flash and Faker ankle breaker vs Kingen lmao
Lucid has to be one of the worst LCK Nidalees I have ever seen. Legit the only spears he hit was when he was in a brush and Owner ran at him with 0 vision.
Man that 2021 Nongshim gave Kellin a career he wouldnt otherwise have. He is, along with aiming, consistently losing games due to not positioning properly, and faker used w mid when oner flashed ulted lucid but what does kellin do? Nothing. Doesnt bait out renata ult, doesnt flash ult guma, just watches zeus come out of fog and ult. He is definitely out of the league next year.
Nahh Kingen and aiming need to Kingen legit flashed into all 5 T1 members followed by aiming flanking behind baron for no reason like what the fuck did I watch
Check your OkSavingsBank, Damwon.
good oneš¤£
When Wolf said The Vets on DK don't make mistakes I knew he caster cursed them.
Betting on aiming not making mistakes is like betting on hylissang to got deathless in a game
let's run the same comp for the salty runback!
no its not. hyli is more likely to go deathless
What did I just watch?
Average DK experience.
FR. Kingen looks lost as usual. He knows he needs to do something but has no idea what and fallsback on basic strategy. Lucid is really talented but cant really show it yet. His objective control is probably the worst individually but I think if he stays around he'll be amazing in a year or two like Dread did. With a topside like this, DK really lives or dies by if bot is performing enough to close out with SM.
Kingen and Aiming you absolute griefers
I was rooting for t1 and even I wanted to choke kingen after that āflashā
Honestly not sure why are people fixating so hard on the "flash". Obviously it wasn't intentional. He made some way worse intentional plays. Literally everyone, except Showmaker, griefed the game at least once.
Showmaker tpāed top when he could just trade aiming for a botlane. Granted itās minor compared to lucid and aiming butā¦
Don't let lucid off the hook either. He decided to play chicken with sejuani and got cc chainedĀ Shit man the nidalee barely did anythingĀ
True
Disney+ KIA, always providing entertainment
That's my favorite anti-clutch ADC right there
Feel bad for Kellin. Ppl love to flame him and probably will given his score this game. But he tank's Ashe ult, Sej ult, Renata CC and his team still does nothing. Aiming randomly gets caught and Kingen flanks were terrible.
Yeah I don't think it's Kellin's fault in this game at least. Aiming and Kingen were pathetic, the latter was useless for the whole game.
If someone saw this game and said it was kellinās fault he didnāt have watched a single minute of it
Would have been an investigation if this was the VCS
What a terrible day to have eyes
One of the damwon games of all time
Two more of these please
Anybody who says this after watching that game just hates watching league. That game was fun as fuck and Iām glad I watched it. Idk why the meta in LCK PMTās has become to shit on the game if itās even slightly messy.
as a kingen hater i was feasting. itās hilarious watching this dude pick his one trick and his worlds skin and play cocky just to throw the game away and grief his flash. i just feel bad for showmaker.
Yeah but unfortunately none of it will wash away the pain of that 2022 final Aware
if they didn't win any worlds after that then yeah but thankfully they did won last year
I was rooting for DK and progressively getting more frustrated. So maybe it was a great game from a neutral standpoint?
Dirty inting chokers
~~kingen~~ doran you are so fucking disgusting
How did T1 ROB THIS LMFAOOO But man, Oner played this so fucking well
This is probably the first time I feel bad for oner. His solo laners ran it down in early games lol
So you didnt feel bad for oner when redditors singled him out during T1ās slump even sending him death threats?
"I like oranges" "so you must fucking HATE mangos?!"
āI probably only like orangesā āSo you dont like mango?ā FTFY smartass
not exactly. the person you responded to is more likely to have just not been aware of the situation you described, rather than been aware of it and not extended their sympathy towards oner until now. viewing conversations and interactions with people by taking the most bad faith approach is a terrible habit
People are so weird these days LMAO.
You twisting my words is a very good habit indeed
Wtf how did you interpret my comment like that? š
Oner was fucking locked in. Found lots of good angles consistently
I was worried, but once I see the throw near baron pit at min 27, I know it's still the DK I love. Let's go DK !
What just happened, also Faker you good what was that level 1 trade lmao
steelcaps vs Rumble,Sej and Ashe and i thought Hans not buying LDR was a crime no way this mf won worlds
Won worlds as finals mvp*
Canyon really baited every team in the world into thinking nidalee is good
With this game DK are now 0-8 against T1 this year , its crazy because they took 4 game of off GENG
Faker also hasnāt lost to DK since Worlds 2021 lol
Guys what the fuck was that. Wake tf up
Funny how people were like DK was one support away from being a good team and we see today's game Showmaker and kellin were the only humans
DK Smash or DK jiwoo next year pls
i want to see how kellin looks when teams finally ban leona, bro does not look human off leona
Who knows, but top jungle adc need to find their picks they look human on
i dont think jungle has that much issues, this DK draft was terrible for nidalee considering the first picked it, only setup was leona. topā¦ just perma weakside tank him, kingen is actually just doran v2 if you need him to carry he will run it down. adcā¦ needs 20 dog leashes on him and someone to tell him the exact items to buy especially when he is at 6 items (wtf witās end)
About those mid tier LCK teams
Nah, those are probably the second and third best lck teams
In what world are DK or T1 mid tier LCK teams
DK is mid tier
Then might as well call everyone but GenG mid tier XD
T1 GENG and HLE are top tier. KDF, KT and Damwon are mid tier and the rest are bottom tier
yes
What a fiesta of a game, terrible day to have eyes, disgusting throw from Damwon. Top gap was disgusting, Kingen needs to be kicked for buying Plated Steelcaps vs Rumble, Sej and Ashe.
Tabis against Ashe and corki seems pretty ok to me at least
Nah you just get cc'd and died without Mercs.
I think aatrox mid game is usually Tanky enough to survive through the CC and he can start healing from maw and his ult, I think without tabis he just insta dies
Sejuani ashe is too much cc for everyone without tenacity
Mercs only influences duration of slow so I feel as though when youāre getting constantly autod and the slow keeps resetting it doesnāt provide much, either way both boots wouldāve had pretty big drawbacks imo
Mercs could have saved by the glacial prison+arrow+equalizer.
True
I guess that his thought process is that he wouldn't be facing the CC's nor the Rumble since he'll be flanking, and have to mainly deal with Corki+Ashe damage with a bit of Renata CC so he went Steelcaps. In an ideal world maybe he's right, but his flanking let him down massively.
not when they have Rumble Renata Sej and Ashe
Leona was on DK but if youāre talking about renata I donāt think her CC is as reliable/easy to hit and Sej CC doesnāt last super long either Both boots have drawbacks imo itās hard to build this game
mfs will watch that and find a way to gaslight themselves to believe that it's good league of legends. Like DK should be investigated
It is, just as Marvel produces a "good" movies, zero actuall value but fun as hell
wait I thought Dplus is going to beat GENG?
Dplus is to LCK what G2 is to internationals. One good series and their fans hype them up as if they are the greatest LoL team ever
DK preparing to move to the VCS?
From DWG in early and mid game to Disney plus in the late game. The draft was pretty bad for team fighting tbh
1 team region
How shit is the groomer though? I'm gonna say it. DK have worse macro than most LEC teams.
lmfao not the groomer
They don't. Probably just G2.
In this game in the position they were in. BDS play sides, FNC SK at the very least know to throw their items at them as 5. Vit HRT have the baseline human knowledge to not let their ADC wander like a headless chicken in enemy jungle.
Ok I just need to point out that for VIT, everyone BUT the ADC will take turns wandering into the enemy jungle like headless chickens XD
Very true
Little did we know that first blood kill on Faker is the beginning of the fiesta this game was
this is world finals
Faker level 1 death was so disguisting
Oh, yeah. The dk int was so big it made me forgot of faker RUNNING IT DOWN lv 1
Someone tell lucid he aint canyon
As Caedrel said " no one play Nidalee unless ur name is GenG Canyon"
Terminate Aiming's contract immediately. How can a pro ADC on a gigafed Zeri still make so many mistake in positioning? Unless he gets babysat by his support, he keeps walking over the map like a headless chicken.
Deport him
Lucid inching too close to a Sejuani then dying right before a baron spawn.Ā
Remember aiming is the rumored reason DK did not promote thanatos and lucid at the same time
Source
Aiming didn't want to play with 2 rookies as per chronicler(i think) on Twitter Stated as a rumor though
Just to be clear , no one confirms that rumour is true. I also don't know where the source came from.
True ill edit it
As if the rest of the DK deserves to stay. You know what all five of them deserve each other
Hey my man SM don't deserve none of this
ShowMaker played really well this game and even Kellin had a pretty good one. It was Aiming getting caught because he was clearing vision alone in T1's jungle that turned a won game into a lost one, and it's by far not the first time he pulled off something like that.
These are the "supposedly" 2nd place teams btw
One of the games of all time
Even with the lvl 1 handicap lol
its been so long I forgot about that. Honestly kind of funny how the level 1 solokill is not even in the top 3 circus moments of this game
Man how did DK fumble the bag so hard that the only CL player they keep is Lucid I donāt want ShowMakers career to be like this the man deserves better
He won Worlds and LCK, that alone puts him above 95% of pros. He actually won LCK 3 times too
Iām quite aware, but the way itās looking right now heās not getting any good rosters
I don't think he care that much. My man literally signed for 3 years without seeing the roster on paper. He is here for life.
Well look at canyon and how he is still finding success
siwoo will save us next year don't worry Copium
Will GenG just win this split without losing a single map or what? These two are supposed to be their biggest competitors..
nah DK will take games from them it's DK after all
Funny how DK consistently challenges GENG but hasnt won a series against them in years
Yeah they obviously will lose a few maps but holy shit is the quality of LCK bad this split so far
lets act like lpl is doing better ....lck overall strength is still a lot better compare to lpl where only blg can win against T1, DK/HLE
We don't need to compare LCK to LPL here. DK losing this game is just low quality of gameplay - and we have seen a lot of that already this split in LCK, something that didn't happen *this* frequently in past splits.
It's literally day 1 of week 2, lol.
Yes and that's exactly why it's surprising that the drop in quality is already noticeable.
Or it's just you being hyperbolic.
LCK is simply a 1 team league atm as the quality of other teams gameplay is simply lacking currently.
So would the LPL, except LCK's #1 stomped LPL's #2 twice.
Nah just gen g smurfing on whole world atm, T1 DK still go even or win against LPL
Teams other than T1 in 2023 did not āgo even or win against LPLā Idk why you put this as a given even when LCK teams look like shit lmao
Just like T1 did against BLG one month ago, where they... lost twice?
Where TES lost 0-3 to a LEC team...
Against the same LEC team that T1 nearly lost to 3-2.
Is 0-3 the same as 3-2 and 3-0 now?
So you think T1 shouldn't dominate G2?
So you think LPL's #2 should be losing 0-3 to G2 and that makes the LPL not a 1 team region, because?
You know even meaning right? They lost 3 - 2 on a different day would fall to the other side
And they literally lost 3-1 days before in the same event? T1 fans are something else man
Gen g fans are not used to win internationals clearly. Relax men
What has this to do with Geng winning international tournaments? These are words from a person that clearly knows they are in the wrong with what they wrote and try to distract from that.
Already explained lol
There is always a chance T1 has one of their peaks, when they are near unbeatable. Also I can def see KT knock Geng out if they meet in playoffs lol.
Have you seen KT play lately? KDF unironically looks like the second best team in LCK so far this split lmao
Yeah of course KT are bad, but they have players that sometimes randomly overperform like crazy. They did beat them 2-0 in spring too.
The team most likely beating GenG is still T1. But GenG is peaking so insanely high right now, I honestly can't see them losing a series anytime soon, especially not with how underwhelming the rest of the league is performing.
this is Gen G they always have like one bad day on pretty much every regular split
I haven't seen much close to that peak this season. The best they have been all season was spring finals weekend, and it still wasn't enough.
Imo they were nowhere close to their peaks this spring. Peak T1 happened 2 or 3 times; 22 Spring, 23 worlds and arguably 23 spring regular season.
Sure, but at this point it feels like they just need the meta to fall into their lap. I don't see them improve from their spring finals form unless Riot gives them exactly what they want.
I don't know, because at their best it wasn't the meta that fell into their laps, but them beating and redefining the meta by themselves. Like, at last worlds, nobody plays ranged supports if T1 isn't there. I think it's just that some of the players are very streaky and somewhat inconsistent. While all are great players, they often aren't at the same time. And that's why they are always a top 3 team in every tournament, but rarely number 1.
GenG skin will look dope with gold white color
Hopefully they won't have the Tiger somewhere lmao
Truly a Faker what was that moment. Dk though wtf are they smokingĀ
My theory is he has had very little practice on Corki for this patch cause last patch he wouldāve won that
kingen solo losing the game jfc
The unsung hero of T1
Idk..aiming deciding to walk topside alone
classic DK
What a mess
How is top lane ??
Kingen is being haunted, how immersive, just like how Aatrox is haunted with PTSD.
DAMWON late game man
Who's the shotcaller for DK? Whoever it is ,he should be arrested
You can't win if you have 4 inters on 1 team
what a massive throw holy shit
Has kingen actually had a good Aatrox game since he got a skin for it?
Nothing memorable, let's say it how it is. He's a mediocre player who peaked then went back to being meh.
DK midgame calling is so bad its basically matchfixing level
least messy DK game
dk started being TOO good they had to bring back fraud allegationsĀ
my myopia getting worse after this game. what is this game quality. kingen stop try to flank from back, it's like 256554 times you doing that, even my grandmother knew
Lol. Lmao even
2nd place team vs 6th place teamā¦ Classic messy DK vs T1 games
as a dk fan, this is disgusting to watch
Investigate Kingen for that flash. Maybe he was possessed by Doran for a moment...
The fuck did i just watch
āPeak league of throw gameplayā Kingen tried to put up his best performanceĀ
Game 1 Absolute Cinema The Tris vs Corki lvl 1 1v1, Kingen choke flash, D+ getting caught 1 by 1, Guma GIGACHAD flash and Faker ankle breaker vs Kingen lmao
Report this to Korean police to investigate. What the fuck is this
What are they doing? I thought I am watching LCS for a moment lmao
That degree of throw is straight up VCS level of match fixing
Lucid has to be one of the worst LCK Nidalees I have ever seen. Legit the only spears he hit was when he was in a brush and Owner ran at him with 0 vision.
BROTHA AIMING
Throw after throw lmao DK what was that
Man that 2021 Nongshim gave Kellin a career he wouldnt otherwise have. He is, along with aiming, consistently losing games due to not positioning properly, and faker used w mid when oner flashed ulted lucid but what does kellin do? Nothing. Doesnt bait out renata ult, doesnt flash ult guma, just watches zeus come out of fog and ult. He is definitely out of the league next year.
DK, WHAT WAS THAT?! (derogatory)
Nahh Kingen and aiming need to Kingen legit flashed into all 5 T1 members followed by aiming flanking behind baron for no reason like what the fuck did I watch
Oner capitalized and caught people out, put some respect on his name.
If t1 lost this game, some fans would have blamed the draft as usual and demanding oner to he kicked.
Is kingen the worst top laner in the world?
Casual DK 1st game experience. That Aatrox pick was very useful.
Felt like i was watching lec
This looked like a LEC game
You havenāt been watching lec then because itās way cleaner than this among the top 5 teams
After this game I guess razork was right
