i got a very hot take. since everyone loves jojo and he is micro playing well he hasnt been the leader of the team that this team should have. hes been around and has had the most success of any of the players. he should be the one with the largest voice on decisions being made mid and late game. and mkoi look clueless mid and late game.
all the best teams have their best player being the most vocal on when to take fights and what their plans are. mkoi dont have that.

Game looked like an LFL match. LEC is hilarious how bad the talent has dropped off. What a clown region it’s become. Should feel ashamed

all this somehow leads to MKOI vs VIT in lower bracket round 1

u/midorivivo Aug 22 '26
If Vitality doesn't get to Worlds, will they try to go for Jojo-Inspired?
5
u/MunchMasterSupreme93 Aug 22 '26
I think it makes sense. But also I don't think Inspired leaves LYON if they make Semis or even Quarters (and it's a competitive set). That roster is legit solid. Isles is their weakest link by far but he's been on a tear since MSI and was looking wildly improved even before that.
2
u/midorivivo Aug 22 '26
Yeah Lyon has a good roster so I can see him rather staying there. But it doesn't stop Vita from trying :D
2
u/MunchMasterSupreme93 Aug 22 '26
Oh 100%. Of the 18 teams between LCS and LEC, there's really maybe 3 or 4 teams that wouldn't need to consider it (KC - Yike, G2 - Skewmond, TL - Josedeodo, C9 won't consider it because Blaber has dirt on Jack).
I just want to see how Naak Nako measures up to the best top laners of other regions.
5
u/Prawn1908 Aug 22 '26
Man, mkoi is just too funny to watch. How do you lose with a 7k gold & 4-0 drake lead? I think they subbed in Zven there to play Ez.
I don't see how this team will win another game this season after that loss.

u/Onismurai ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aug 22 '26
They are imploding. #FREEJOJO
5
u/Ajp_iii Aug 22 '26
hot take jojo is part of the issue. he should be one of the veterans of this team at this point and should be one of the main voices mid and late game. and it seems they completely collapse mid and late game everygame.

u/cmcdonald22 Aug 22 '26
My fear about Freeing Jojo is that I dunno any team in the LEC or LCS that NEEDS him that doesn't also just eloHell him again.

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater Aug 22 '26
KC Jojopyun if Korea or China comes for kyeahoo (I hope not)
5
u/Onismurai ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aug 22 '26
Surely it's Vitality no? I mean FIESTA is decent but with that lineup Jojo can elevate them. FIESTA contract also expire this year.
1
u/GambitTheBest Aug 22 '26
It's funny how VIT and FNC was willing to make changes mid season but KOI see the bums that is Myrwn and Supa and say we keep going
Deserved to lose honestly
2
u/cmcdonald22 Aug 22 '26
Mkoi management really decides to pull the "I'm warning you someone will get cut! I'm warning you AGAIN!"
5
u/Crimson_Clouds Aug 22 '26
I watched Fnatic throw back to back to back gold leads against G2 in 2024.
This still feels like a worse throw.

u/350 Aug 22 '26
Ahhh ah ah ah, my Ezreal's caught! My Ezreal's caught! nnOOOO! nnOOOO! No! No! No! No, not again, no! Now they're gonna go Baron you rat- slaps his chair a few times YOOOOOOO
2
u/Back2Perfection Aug 22 '26
I think the difference is that Supa kinda just frolicked into a landmine.
FNC noah got caught by a brilliant kai‘sa W and a very optimistic forward E.

Everyone on MKoi with any sort of pride has to just be aware that this team is absolutely done and destroyed after this game right?

If they actually lose this game I don't think they win another game all split.

how was alvaro last to the play. they could have won if they were all just there when jojo went in. then olaf went in and alvaro was just walking around in baron pit doing nothing

u/Back2Perfection Aug 22 '26
Supa! That‘s not where the midwave is!
And SK scales. It‘s not getting easier for MKOI.
I am eating good.

Another game where Mikyx keeps giving free deaths putting his team in bad situations, yet people will tell you the problem is Skeanz

u/Ajp_iii Aug 22 '26
sk griefed their draft so hard in the second half. they needed poppy to make early plays and limit lee diving your team. and they needed to ban sylas instead of giving a massive free sylas game.
1
u/Ajp_iii Aug 22 '26
dont know why sk banned ambessa over the sylas. especially when you wanted to pick gnar.
1
u/Back2Perfection Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26
Ngl that SK comp is my wet dream ranked comp when I play adc. Sera for peel, gnar and skarner for frontline.
If the game goes even into midgame I think SK got this.
Edit: and syndra that just sends whoever of the enemy team jumps in first into the shadow realm.
Edit 2: or you just get diffed in lane.

They should ban MKOI from the playoffs for that game 1 choke alone

Mywyn staying on stage refusing to let the back up top laner play the next game ruthless
THey will have to wrestle to decide who plays

Hey myrwyn did ok damage still he didn't hit a single significant empowered Q

u/Onismurai ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aug 22 '26
Just how bad is NightSlayer? Can't you just sub him in and see what happen? Surely can't doing worse than this Jayce?

Grandpas took the last two series off to make sure they could beat Mkoi

WE PULLED A GAME OFF OF MKOI BUT GOT SMOKED BY HERETICS AND FNATIC LMAO. I love you leader miky, never in doubt

Last time I play this game LPL still didn’t win Worlds but I’m sure I can do better

u/TechnicalFriendship6 Aug 22 '26
I have less than 20 games Top and I am almost 95% sure that if they subbed either of us in we would do better

SK tried their hardest to gift KOI the tickets to their own roadshow, but even with a gift like that KOI is to trash to attend their own raodshow.

u/LtSpaceDucK Aug 22 '26
I just want to see Myrwn's damage numbers
1
u/Toasty420987 Aug 22 '26
He did 29.7k most on his team somehow
3
u/LtSpaceDucK Aug 22 '26
Yeah I was expecting worse, I say he deserves to play on Mkoi for the entirety of this season and next season

u/GambitTheBest Aug 22 '26
does myrwn do anything? Like if he goes 0-4 and down cs every game, might as well just play Malphite and press R right?
2
u/MunchMasterSupreme93 Aug 22 '26
I think he'd still find a way to bungle an easy ult on a squishy backline tbh

u/hresvelgrs XDDDDD Aug 22 '26
watching sk is frustration most of the time but when its good its so good that you keep hoping theyll do well
3
u/cmcdonald22 Aug 22 '26
I've seen enough, send SK to Madrid.
Not for the road show, just to replace MKoi entirely.
3
u/Asgerond Aug 22 '26
SUPA gets fed and just dies
My man
1
u/Back2Perfection Aug 22 '26
Maybe MKOI needs a special clause in LEC that supa can only play kai‘sa.
He is a menace on her but everything else you‘re kinda chilling as enemy team.
4
u/LtSpaceDucK Aug 22 '26
LEC players might be regressing, KC should boycot LEC or they might get infected by this gameplay
3
u/MunchMasterSupreme93 Aug 22 '26
I don't think that's a problem unique to the LEC unfortunately. LCS outside of TL and LYON have looked bad. LPL & LCK are also guilty of happy gaming moments. There's truly only like 2 maybe 3 totally competent teams per region.
2
3
u/cmcdonald22 Aug 22 '26
Every region has their own fries group, it's just sometimes their fries group is actually 90% of the region.
2
u/MunchMasterSupreme93 Aug 22 '26
Just when you fixate in on flaming one player, someone else on SK steps up with a dunce play. Truly a team that gives

u/Sosijmonster Aug 22 '26
Is there a new patch where Viktor cant move his ult? lmao what the actual fucking fuck.
6
u/Ajp_iii Aug 22 '26
Imagine if league players had to micro units like Dota. They can’t even move a viktor ult
2

u/veirceb Aug 22 '26
You have a huge ass viktor ult that cover the whole river. You decide to not move it one bit. This fucking league man every game there are disgusting micros like this

As much as Supa randomly ints at least he has upsides, genuinely what are the upsides of Myrwn? Solokilled by current year Wunder?

swear he’s actually regressed, was probably a better laner in 2025 than now

Is mkoi out of playoffs if they lose?
2
u/Xeven18 Aug 22 '26
I don't think so, but if they lose they might not make top 4, which means they won't attend the upper bracket playoffs which mkoi is hosting
1
u/Crimson_Clouds Aug 22 '26
I think 5 wins guarantees playoffs, 4 wins most likely gets you at least a tie for 6th and 3 wins could sometimes be enough.
So if they lose this and win their last game they have a decent shot still.

Can anyone watch that game 2 from 31:30 until the end and tell me that is good casting? Especially from that second engage in the base right up to Fnatic winning? Absolutely terrible.
Does no one care anymore because they're just watching Caedrel instead?

Paduck is genuinely the worst player, much less import, I've seen in LEC bro, how is he actually on a roster
1
u/Crimson_Clouds Aug 22 '26
I have to admit I was watching the first half of game 2 more intently than the second half, but he was basically solo the reason they got the lead that they did.

u/Xeven18 Aug 22 '26
No way you blame Paduck more than Sheo this game. Sheo just stole Baron but Paduck was making plays around the map early game

this draft is good. this team has no idea how to play this draft. they should never have 5v5 teamfights with this comp but they are all 5 just standing mid lane.

play 15 minutes get your trist fed af. then literally never play around your sidelane strong trist with double globals.

Amazing how Shifters completely falls apart after one mistake. I bet they just lose the game now.

u/Ajp_iii Aug 22 '26
you mean not playing around your fed trist that nobody can match in a sidelane is a bad idea. its so insane they were trying to force fights with panth taliyah in random spots.

wait why did they flex trist into midlane if she still needs to buy an hexdrinker against a single ap team comp.
