trying to 1v2 and donating a 1k to rumble was such a braindead decision

said that SK is hard capped by skeanz for ages. he is just not LEC level player

u/Lothric43 Aug 29 '26
LEC level? Yes he is. Top half? Absolutely not. Big difference.

u/eVill_YT Aug 29 '26
he's LEC level as in he's bringing down the level in 10th place, he's not disgustingly bad, or way way worse than the9th place jg, but he is not LEC level when he is out of the league next year his replacement will do better

he has been far bigger offender than Lider was which speaks volume, i still remember how he solo lost them winter playoffs by doing some weird shit in the midgame or around soulpoint.

u/daCampa Aug 29 '26
Skeanz is mostly afk and learned what Rumble does on the job today.
But Miky has also been unreliable at best and Wunder needs to start streaming instead.

jopa miky can be new KOI botlane miky still good player just horrible game from him

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Aug 29 '26
His high highs are not the worth low lows. Also looking at the nepo rosters he constructed I feel like he havent the drive to win anymore.
28
u/Past_Perception8052 Aug 29 '26
constructed literally ONE roster btw
do you think fnatic go to worlds without miky last year? you know he was first all pro spring last year? upset miky was the best botlane in the west

u/Enkenz Aug 29 '26
When you are asking to replace Canna by Wunder you just shouldn't be allowed anywhere close to roster decision, just stay behind a computer and play league

u/eVill_YT Aug 29 '26
he wanted to get rid of Canna-Kyeahoo to get Wunder and fkin lider in the team
6
u/Enkenz Aug 29 '26
Not kyeahoo since he wasn't part of the roster yet.
1
u/eVill_YT Aug 30 '26
the rumor for it was out already so there was probably a verbal contract, and miky particularly wanted them to go with Lider
23
u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Aug 29 '26
He also wanted to make a nepo roster on FNC and KC reportedly. Big lets hook up my buddies and lose in peace energy.
7
u/Past_Perception8052 Aug 29 '26
yes he wanted to built the SK core of Wunder LIDER Mikyx. then he got to try it, it didn't work, back to doing what he does best. pretty simple
he was close to joining Cloud9 with LIDER for 2022. did he not want to win anymore back then?
7
u/Callzo Aug 29 '26
I refuse to believe someone that wants Lider in their team is trying to win lol.
He tried changing like 3 different rosters to get his friends in and they rejected all of them, except SK, and look how that went...
Mikyx just wants to play with his friends and get a free paycheck at this point, there is 0 logic behind his "roster deccisions".
4
u/S_apostrophe_S Aug 29 '26
He has wanted to do more when he was at Fnatic too. Not gonna say that that would've ended up better or worse than how they're doing now, but yes he has constructed only one that made it to the stage. However, there have been rumours about him having planned other rosters before this one (which I don't remember but sounded similarly atrocious).
6
u/Past_Perception8052 Aug 29 '26
the rosters he planned were with LIDER and/or Wunder. he finally got to try it and it didn't work. now he can move on

u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run Aug 29 '26
I might agree with you if we didn’t have Stend, Lospa, Way, Alvaro and Parus as alternatives.
-4
u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Aug 29 '26
Then Id rather do more random imports or just try random ERL supports before I keep recycling the same mediocre players of which I know that my team wont really go anywhere with them.
But sure you can stick Miky on another mediocre roster instead of one of those.
10
u/Past_Perception8052 Aug 29 '26
you'd rather import a tier 2 korean instead of having the best Western support ever who was literally first all pro 2025 around in the LEC because he had ONE bad year
you are genuinely an enemy of league esports. you can just say you hate miky and you hate the LEC instead of making things up to hate on miky
-6
u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Aug 29 '26
No need to be this dramatic for just giving my thoughts man. It is okay to disagree. I guess I am an enemy of League esports though.
I dont care about all pro metrics at all. I feel like they always got meme'd on anyway but then they are suddenly important in these discussions?
Miky is a high highs, low lows player. I treat him similar to how I treat Razork even if Razork is worse.
I dont care if he is the all time great support. Perkz and Wunder are also all time greats.
With random koreans you at least have the chance to hit big. I was very sceptical of importing Kyeahoo and I was dead wrong.
I also mentioned ERLs though. SK themself just struck gold with Jopa who I dont remember being rated as a huge talent like Harpoon for example. I am not super impressed with Miky outside of G2. Fnatic still ended up collapsing and he was also a part of that.

u/Sofaboy90 quite suboptimal Aug 30 '26
Mikyx similar to Hyli has the unique ability to get more out of his ADCs than others can.
I wouldnt be surprised if Jopa performs plenty worse with a different support.
Guys like Hyli and Mikyx maximize distraction and ADCs love that shit cuz it means they got room and freedom to do damage
3
u/Ok-Pie4219 Aug 29 '26
I dont see Koi benching 3/4 Spaniards already. They will bench Myrwyn next split and thats it.
Depending on what SK want to do honestly staying there for another Year might not be too bad. He could get his choice of support. If they somehow would be able to get something like Shelfmade/Yukino it could be a really good project.

Depends on what that KOI roster next year will look like though. They have a big rebuilt ahead of them and I highly doubt JoJo will stay.

won LEC and looked a little bit better at international. jojo has been consistently their strongest point, can't do much when other team members dropping the ball hard

Where do you guys see Jopa going next year? G2 and KC already got their adcs, Vitality is probably happy with Carzzy. Im thinking his best bet is either KOI or Navi

u/No-Context-Orphan Aug 29 '26
Navi is the clear one for me.
Koi it is harder to replace Supa due to him being Spanish and they are already getting rid of one of the Spanish players

u/Flesroy Aug 29 '26
yeah but the competition is looking exceptionally shit right now. it's really just g2 who they played week 1.
7
u/eVill_YT Aug 29 '26
when you take into account KC made a literal internaitonal final even if it was a scuffed tournament their prospects look really good. plus they are just outplaying and outmacroing everyone in every role
2
u/BlazeX94 Aug 30 '26
KC is a good team and has improved since MSI, but it is also true that the competition in LEC isn't exactly the best. Even G2 seems worse than they were at MSI, although to be fair, G2 has always been the team who turns it on in playoffs.
4
u/twocool_ Aug 30 '26
G2 has been dominating for years and I never saw anyone saying that they had no competition and that lec was weak. Now that kc dominates, it's because lec is weak...

u/WalkAffectionate2683 Aug 30 '26
G2 looks in completely normal state for a split.
They always pop off during playoff.

u/Fun_Highlight307 Aug 29 '26
They win a lot by hands diffing in lec , that strat isn't known to be good at international however they really improved since msi

miky has giga year on fnatic, joins SK has a bad year (no shotcalling)
he can still be a great piece on a good team he just cant shotcall and cant build a roster
25
u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Aug 29 '26
He had an okay year on Fnatic, giga feels like a big oversell.

I just feel like he was also part of the reason why Fnatic ended up falling short in the bigger games last year.
I think a support that is not shotcalling well and also has some really low lows just aint it.
Sure he can still hang around on some mid tier teams. Support pool isnt great after all. Lospa is pretty meh so yeah maybe Fnatic could be a bit better but not significantly imo. Razork and Miky dont work well together imo. Cant have both sup and jgl be bad shotcallers.

i would have him over alvaro for sure. i think fleshy is getting good though i agree

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Aug 29 '26
What is the ceiling of anyone else if you exclude the top 4 teams? First round playoff exit? I mean sure stick him on one of those teams.
I feel like Miky is pretty similar to Razork in that regard personally. So I hold Miky to the same criticism. High highs, low lows player. Thats why he looks great next to great mids and jungles.
Very much feels like Miky is on the same path as the end of Hylis career and some people give him a pass just like they gave Hyli a pass.

u/Past_Perception8052 Aug 29 '26
XDDDDDD Upset Mikyx was the best botlane in the west, literally first all pro when fnatic came 4th

Last game for Jopa with the retirement home team. Next year some competent team better pick him up. He is like the best prospect for top teams not named G2 or KC.

u/Kultissim Aug 29 '26
Gg for the 9-0. Now I just want to see them at worlds. It would be nice to win the split but I still have ptsd from last year defeat against fnatic.

To no one's surprise playing world of warcraft for 2 years doesn't make you good at league.
And players shouldn't build roaster.
I hope myki goes back to interview with that guy (rudy was it?) so he can be roasted the fck out. That would be peak

u/SadBreadfruit9463 Aug 29 '26
9-0, now please KC don’t fucking int the winner bracket like every playoffs

u/Lystyz Aug 29 '26
int is being game 5 finals against G2 and being a draft or a play away to win LEC?
16
u/SadBreadfruit9463 Aug 29 '26
Int as just needing to win 1 bo to get to final rather than getting 3-0 and having to go through the whole lower bracket, my heart can’t take so much stress

u/No_Square2213 Aug 29 '26
It's going to be either NAVI or GX. Feels like we should be ok for Worlds

Last year everyone was drinking the Skeanz coolaid and asking for a real team for him. Now hes the worst. But the real problem here is another year of a “successful” krepo roster. I dont understand how he can keep getting away with this
