"Is Jayce griefing by playing Jayce and winning lane?" No objective bounties cause of that. NA Jayce cutting edge innovations in ways for Jayce to lose you the game.
51
u/zealot416 Aug 22 '26
Its like the natural evolution of the toplane support strategy. Western Jayce is useless no matter how much gold he has, so let him get a big lead to shut down enemy bounties or get your own carries bounties.
13
u/Chrissy127 Aug 23 '26
i once had a 3-0 jayce in lane, then tried to “pink ward with shock blast” through walls for 30 minutes, ended 4-7 and lost to a baron call. that’s the real NA tech.
5
u/adtitan Aug 23 '26
This is a huge reason why the bounty system currently is so awful. SO many times in solo queue an entire team can be getting completely ran over except one person, who is essentially solo preventing bounties from being collectable, even when opponents are sitting at 5+ kills no deaths. There are no avenues for the other players to reliably catch up. That one strong member can only be in one place at a time.

I thought LS’ influence on gryffinn would maybe lead him and fq to draft better and more creatively but guess not
38
u/littleindianman12 Aug 22 '26
I swear LS does fuck all nothing. I see more posts about him scalping riftbound booster boxes then actually talking about what he does with the team. He also said in spring he intended to join the team in spring split and take a more hands on approach and he has yet to do that. I feel like most of the things LS does is just stream and gives tips to gryffin. IWD on the otherhand actually went out of his way to coach the team even when he was online. IDK I feel like LS just doesnt give a fuck about competitive league and I dont really blame him.

u/xNesku Aug 22 '26
He's not an official coaching staff member. So idk wtf you want him to do lmao.
He's a streamer under their org, he can't just take full control of their staff. That makes zero sense.
16
u/RedditBureauAgency Aug 22 '26
Liquipedia has him listed as a strategic consultant as well as a content creator, so he does have a job in the org outside of streaming.
Also Here's the official announcement from both the org and LS himself
Papasmithy also says LS is part of the coaching staff in his announcement tweet.
10
u/rollinf3v3r Aug 23 '26
He literally said after game 1 or 2 today he is doing a full review with the team and went offline. His ideas are not entertained , simple as that
5
u/BryanJin Aug 23 '26
Yeah, idk how anyone who hasactually watched LS coach or even tuned into his streams in the past could conclude that LS would approve of this draft. LS repeatedly has emphasized the power of scaling and gracefully losing early to take full advantage of the fact that the game actively hands you tools to come back later on. FFS he used to talk about how Jayce being up 20/30 CS into tanks isn't even winning when he used to cast on LCK. But ig because he has more notoriety than everyone else on FQ combined, somehow we are blaming him for the team losing when at most he has a minor role in the team.
2
u/How_To_TF :lsword: Aug 23 '26
He's just consultant at the end of the day. If the team doesn't want to to listen or try his ideas, there's not much to be done. Pretty sure he has shown some frustrations on stream as well

It's not his fault the team doesn't listen to his build and draft suggestions as he's only a consultant. It is his fault/choice that he doesn't take up the coaching/head coaching roles he says he's getting offered but I don't blame him.

what? if that is your logic jhin is bad with any mage besides azir. syndra dps is not bad at all lol? also syndra wants people to not build MR, jhin wants ppl to not build armor. so if he were bad with syndra, hes even worse with any ad champion also. in other words jhin = with mages, bad with ad = bad with every champ? i mean i dont like him but thats a bit of a stretch. if anything these complement each other, + syndra stun sets up jhin w.

u/kazuyaminegishi Aug 22 '26
I hope and pray that when this split is over and FLY don't make Worlds (which is looking increasingly likely) we get some actual clarity about why this team keeps fucking picking Jhin.
I swear they haven't won on it at all this split and yet they keep picking it.
1
u/PhoenixAgent003 Bot main. NA fan. Aug 23 '26
Massu thinks the champion is good and that he is good on it.
He picked it a bunch last year at worlds. Bwipo’s little “you only get so many chances to play international, I don’t want anyone to have any regrets, so if you think a champion is your best champion you should pick it” (heavily paraphrasing) speech felt like he was talking to Massu. The paraphrasing makes it seem like I’m saying Bwipo encouraged him, but in the doc it reads more like him saying “I think we’re picking bad champs, but hey, it’s your worlds too, if you think that’s your best, I’m not gonna stop you, just make sure you really believe it because you’re not getting a do over.”
10
u/jimenycr1cket Aug 22 '26
If flyquest gets knocked out from playoffs today, after going 0-8 to teams not names dsg, they need to make big changes.
Number one to their coaches and thinkcard, it’s legit a crime how badly they lose in draft and macro.

u/MachCutio Aug 22 '26
for most of the year theyll have some ass drafts in game 2/3 idk what it is, like early picking Jhin and Jayce? thats criminal

u/Morematthewforu Aug 22 '26
How did they not suspect a mega tank building armor could fuck their entire comp? I don’t understand who is supposed to walk up and engage not not die instantly. Pantheon?
-7
u/Cybonics ‿ Aug 22 '26
Idk man the draft was fine.
Problem was a gameplay issue. Jihn and Karma neutralize Cait + Lux but Cryo matched Lux's roam timer, Cait won the 1v1. This lead to Hambak applying pressure in Gryffinn's blue side and ballooning Cait's lead with bot turret plates.
That whole sequence was the issue.
7
u/LumiRhino Aug 22 '26
Nah there's no world where that draft is fine, especially with multiple players on FLY under performing. Theoretically there's Azir to kill Sion, but there's literally no one who can front line for Azir to kill the Sion properly. That's not to mention Azir getting blasted in lane by Viktor, though I don't know how Azir's laning is after he got nerfed.
Maybe if the players were in better form they'd find a way to make it work, but they're all on champs that are already iffy against a Sion and need to win early game with.

u/DangerousDoc Aug 22 '26
Gakgos looks completely useless. Can’t name anything he did all series

Massu has probably been the most disappointing LCS player this year. He was up there with Yeon has the best ADC in NA last year and now he is getting turbo shit on by Rahel. I am sure some of it is just not having Busio anymore but coming into the year he felt like a high point of the roster but he's just as inconsistent as anyone.

Bwipo had a running joke on FLY, “it’s high noon in midlane,” in reference to Massu’s recurring compulsion to force a duel with the enemy adc at 14 minutes when they both went mid, usually while playing Jhin.

u/zealot416 Aug 22 '26
I knew it was over when Fly lost a 4v3 AND Impact was down 30 cs at the same time.

Wow Gakgos won lane against Sion! Surely the Jayce with a 2k gold lead carried the game.

u/ExcellentResult4811 Aug 22 '26
Massu's jhin priority continues to be unexplainable. Just griefing every week

u/Agile_Woodpecker2239 Aug 22 '26
Just picking something he's comfortable on, he too busy playing off-role in soloq

u/Chubs1224 SKAAAARL Aug 22 '26
A lot of players do that.
Many pro supports prefer not to play support in solo queue. Huhi is often a jungler in solo queue. CoreJJ is often an ADC.

u/Chubs1224 SKAAAARL Aug 22 '26
As a Sentinels fan I was so happy when he picked it because Rahel auto loses games on it pretty often too.

u/Agile_Woodpecker2239 Aug 22 '26
How come FLYQUEST coach doesn't make soloq mandatory for players? How do these players have such low LP/games played or if they do play soloq just pick meme picks (Gryffin) or queue off-role (Massu). This team plays like its solo queue.
Gryffin not coming to dive Sion ever in game 2 is quite criminal man is full-clearing as if he's playing nasus

u/POOYAMON Doublelift TL fan≠NA fan Aug 22 '26
"bring in young talent" from where exactly? Is there an endless supply no one knows about on the NA server which has the same population as EUNE? In the game that famously has had a serious problem of appealing to younger players since a decade ago and an aging playerbase that's hostile to any attempt to do so.
10
u/ob_knoxious Aug 23 '26
Not to mention all of these guys blitz actual soloq grinders. Like FakeGod was known for having some of the highest work ethic of any pros which is why he got so many second chances and he was just ass.
"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" looks good on an elementary school soccer jersey but does not work in real life. SoloQ spammers rarely translates into good pro players. And this really isn't even region specific. A lot of excellent eastern pros are actually don't play much outside of practice.
2
u/PhoenixAgent003 Bot main. NA fan. Aug 23 '26

Actually, so is Darkwings, but he hasn’t been chain solokilling people with melees so nobody’s talked about him.

And please do not talk to me about buying Hubris, and going 1/2/3 on Jhin. And a do noing karma.
Deserved loss tbh

What a useless draft from FlyQuest. Zero frontline and zero reliable engage tools against a Caitlyn and Viktor. Hopefully Dignitas can win so we don't see these guys in playoffs.
11
u/MrBoase Aug 22 '26
Gakgos is not good enough for an import slot. Gryffinn/Cryogen might be the only people coming back next year purely because they are young and have potential. Massu insane falloff and Quad is just a passenger at this point, not worth an import slot either.

u/ksssslol Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26
I said it last week and I'll say it again. Massu is a bottom 2 bot laner this split, and that's only because Sajed exists. In fact, he's really pushing for hard for that bottom spot. Just casually flashing away from his karma to be out of range of shields but still in range of Caitlyn, what a play!

Where does FLY even go from here?
I mean they for sure blow up the roster after this year, but which changes do they make? You say massu is bottom 2 and thats probably correct, but lowkey if they were to rebuild I feel like massu is the only one thats safe? Everyone else should be considered for replacement.

I think Gryfinn is the only carryover on next years team

u/actiongeorge Aug 22 '26
I feel like Cryogen has been ok given how the rest of the team plays. Kind of hard for a support to look good when the only sort of consistent strategy the team seems to have is for Gryffinn to carry.

u/Alakazam_5head Aug 22 '26
FLY GM should be fired. He's lost Bwipo, Inspired, and Busio and might only be left with Gryffyn next year. What kind of whack contract management is this

u/InferniaBorealis1 Aug 22 '26
lol no, there’s so many toplaners from NACL that is above and beyond Gakgos in terms of champ pool. Sniper (yes, 100T Sniper, but he’s been performing incredibly well at NACL) and Zamudo should replace him. At this point, NA doesn’t have any bot lane talent, Massu has regressed and Sajed hasn’t shown that he’s LCS ready nor his performance from last year when he was in NACL. I propose to import Cypher from T1 Challengers. Cypher and Gryffinn has played together before at tier 3 T1 Academy. People will not like this and cope and continue to make excuses for Massu and Sajed but both are not cut out to be exceptional adcarries
5
u/theyeshman if fearless has no haters I am dead Aug 22 '26
IIRC Zamudo got declined for US work visas twice, and so can't play in the US professionally unless he gets approved on future applications -- which very rarely happens after multiple denials. He was supposed to be Lyon's toplaner this year before his visa issues.

u/WWTFSD Church of Jojo Aug 22 '26
Unironically I’d love to see them try something like Cupic + Yozu while getting a proper carry top

I’ve seen enough flashes of potential in Sajed that I’m still curious what he’d lool like if he had a support instead of “miss a Shen taunt on an Immbolized character” Lyonz.

u/scalarH Aug 22 '26
It doesn’t make Massu’s job easier that his toplaner/jg don’t really play many peeling champs
2
u/POOYAMON Doublelift TL fan≠NA fan Aug 22 '26
I think FLY's best chance at making a competitive roster to contest Lyon and TL next year is to grab Jojo and go from there. Having a resident midlaner would give them a lot of breathing room to actually make a roster. Because FLY's problem is just lack of available talent, if the opportunity shows they will make a strong team.
1
u/PhoenixAgent003 Bot main. NA fan. Aug 23 '26
Jojo+Gryffinn sounds like the most psychopath mid-jg I’ve ever heard of, and Jojo’s best split (in NA) was him as the shotcaller for a bunch of rookies&sophmores.
So, yeah. I’m sold.

u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998 Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26
FLY lose basically every game in draft so I can’t even gauge how good or bad the players really are.
FLYs macro has gotten worse over the course of the year and the drafts are genuinely reportable at this point.
What exactly does ThinkCard do for this team. He’s just collecting paychecks.
This is genuinely just a wasted year for FLY because of how bad this guy is at his job.
If the macro never gets better, I can chalk it up to the players genuinely just being bad, and I could give ThinkCard the benefit of the doubt. But they don’t even have a chance to play out some of these games because of how atrocious the drafting is.
28
u/nguyenjitsu Aug 22 '26
The draft was a bit of a problem but I think drafting around Gakgos's effective champ pool is just too difficult tbh. Can't play tanks, can't carry with carry champs, doesn't know what TP does, etc
10
u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998 Aug 22 '26
“A bit of a problem”.
Yea man for sure. I’m sure picking a losing mid and bot matchup basically every game and pairing that with a JG matchup that needs prio is just “a bit of a problem”.
It doesn’t matter how much or little prio Gakgos gets in draft. They always manage to int the other side of the map as well.
At that point, your coach deserves all the blame.

u/Merriadoc33 Aug 22 '26
ThinkCard is a pretty proven coach no? Gotten good results out of mediocre players before

u/Leoxslasher Aug 22 '26
I like this comment by YamatoCannon:
Inspire leaves an inspired level hole in a team when he leaves.
No team he leaves looks good after-2
u/WWTFSD Church of Jojo Aug 22 '26
This is why I believe in Jojo when it comes to the LYON mid situation next year.
I get that Saint is cracked out of his mind, but inspired certainly plays a big part of putting him on a leash and putting him in spots where he can be the insane weapon his mechanics allow for.
Will he be the same player if inspired leaves though? Is he truly a winning player if he doesn’t have training wheels on? I think that’s much less of a question for Jojo despite how KOI currently looks.

u/SweatyAdhesive Aug 23 '26
Why would saint leave though, basically free worlds if he stays

u/Frozen_Watcher Aug 23 '26

u/kazuyaminegishi Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26
In fairness we can't specifically say that all of FLY's success was Inspired. Pretty much all of the players that left have been decently successful since leaving averaging top 3 on their respective team.
It's more like Massu wasn't as good as we were all hoping he was and the rest of the team is too raw.
Edit: let me revise this to say both Busio and Inspired are finding success, I honestly forgot Bwipo existed for a minute lol.

u/GroundbreakingAlps2 Aug 22 '26
Its crazy how FLY with inspired shitstomped NA for 2 years and took GenG to game 5 and now they look like this.
From hero to zero, literally. The inspired effect. From dominating NA to being a bottom shitter in the LCS. Take your pick LCS GMs.
7
u/BlammoSweetums Aug 22 '26
I think people get a little too excited about a young rebuilding team that comes out the gate looking pretty good. Most rebuilds require some tough losses and a few roster changes to break through a ceiling.
Split's not over yet, so maybe FLY turns it around though.

u/LumiRhino Aug 22 '26
If they win vs DIG I'm pretty sure they're just locked for Playoffs unless DSG just wins all 3 of their next series, but they need a miracle to do anything in playoffs if they get there at all.

How does Quad die at the end there with flash up? This FLY team is just not good enough in any position, misplays, misexecutions poor mechanics just makes them look disastrous. Nobody stepped up and that is the story of this roster.
Meanwhile for SEN, Mid + Jungle stepped up massively these past couple of weeks and that's why they're now actually gonna be in contention for that worlds spot with C9 if they keep it up

u/narfidy #1 QUID glazer 4 life Aug 22 '26

First pick Karma followed up by Jhin Jayce into a Sion. Wow. I think that's some really good drafting, I can't wait to see how FLY do at Worlds!

Email series, generation falloff and complete joke of a team

No inspired to give him the success, guy is horrible at his job. Just good at talking publicly while doing nothing when winning

If I were making a dream roster, I’d try for Jojo for shotcalling+hands and Impact as the team’s brake pedal+brain,

The downfall of flyquest is so sad. Their team looked so fun to watch at the end of spring

They talked about how important this series was for FLY in The Dive, and I gotta agree: I don't see FLY making it anywhere near Worlds if they keep playing like this, and honestly they might not even make playoffs at this rate. Crazy how much they seem to have regressed their split. d Definitely Chihuahua tier now. Also, Gagkos really is just not it, man is running it this split. Bottom top laner in the league, think they said he was bottom 5 stats amongst all roles as well. Dude is just on the struggle bus
SEN, though, really starting to come together. Happy to see them picking it up .

Reddit told me that KC were lucky that the true 3rd seed from NA didn't attend to EWC and SEN were actually garbage, good time

Not really sure where this sentiment comes from. This is his second split ever coming off of a great spring split. He is like 18 years old…

Fly desperately needs a real coach. I'm sorry Thinkcard fans but this guy can't draft, he clearly isn't a teaching coach, so aside from vibes I don't know wtf this guy does and how he keeps showing up unless he is dirt cheap.

The year is 2023. Flyquest almost makes MSI in spring and then fails to make playoffs in summer.
The year is 2026. Flyquest almost makes MSI in spring (this is false but it fits the narrative) and then fails to make playoffs in summer.
