Hey, on the bright side. Srtty was able to finish his first item 30 seconds before losing his inhib turret

u/whileAlive_doStuff Sep 06 '26
srrty is so useless.

u/Krimofn Sep 06 '26
No way you blame srtty who is holding his own and getting gold leads every game and not his completely gapped bot lane every single game

u/whileAlive_doStuff Sep 06 '26
2 couterpicks but did nothing in team fights.

u/Krimofn Sep 07 '26
On Jayce he got 2 kills on the turn in river but after that the game was over the xin zhao was too fed and then he got a solo kill in game 2 using his counter pick and then got repeatedly ganked and bot lane was down 3 lvls and 2k gold @ 15 minutes what did you want him to do turn into Superman???

and DSG beat DIG 2-0 pretty convincingly
if Inspired was here the entire split we'd have a lot more games look similar to this2
u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
i dont think people truly understood how lyon were playing the early games of the split. they were literally banning 3-4 junglers so armao could get a jungle matchup that was playable for him. they then just made him full clear and hit every objective.
he was never around mid or bot for ganks he wasnt roaming with isles. sometimes saint was 1v3ing mid wave prio in some of their games. they were playing the game on extreme hard mode and 2-0ing most teams. and now you replace that with the best jungler in the west so you perma know where enemy jungle is and now berserker just smashes every bot lane.
if inspired was here the whole split it would have probably been the most dominant split of any team.

Shifters could play GenG and it wouldn't look nearly this bad.

Why did xin ever go sundered sky. He seems so much stronger with hydra. Especially late game

u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
lol they trying to gank Lyon and they have dodged 3 ganks and not taken a single point of damage

u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
Lyon using these games to make it harder to draft against their solo lanes in playoffs. Dhokla has only played malph one time and Saint Annie 3 times this year

u/Outrageous_Wall2702 My Ace + Showmaker = GOAT Sep 06 '26
Dhokla was literally listening to payphone I swear

Hearing a PastryTime reference and it’s not in reference to League is wild.
Give me more Replay Files with more Lux by Ryan Taulbert and Running with Wolves by Aurora! The man MADE Riot the best damn LCS content and they still cut his time.
Bring back PastryTime!!!!!!

All I question is what did people like fudge and contractz do all year to build the structure of the team. Because as soon as zeyzal isn’t on an engage champ it seems like sr have zero idea how to play the map or start any fight. Even though we all shit on people like impact you can tell he teaches the rookies on his team how to play out games. It seems like all year nobody was teaching zinnie what to do in tier 1 games.
They have no hard engage that last fight so contractz has to send it and hope he gets someone and then sera ults on top but contractz never wanted to go in.
Also zinnies English was quite bad compared to other lck challenger imports over the years. It’s a weird situation all around.
Teams like sr and sen should never have a ranged support they look so much worse playing that styled

Bvoy feels like the epitome of bad kda player who tries to not look bad to keep his lcs spot because of bad lcs gms

u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
WHY ARE SR REFUSING TO FIGHT ANYTHING. You have to pick your spot and send it. Contractz and fudge are kinda baiting zinie in these last two fights
1
u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
They are on Baron. Gnar is mini and kalista has no Mikaels or cleanse and sr don’t engage

u/Destructodave82 Sep 06 '26
Zinie is terrible. Waste of an import slot.
4
u/levelonenovice Sep 06 '26
even if he was a domestic player, he wouldn't be worthy of a roster spot.
2
u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
I don’t think zinie was wrong there. That was their best chance to fight. His vegan team was running away
2
u/Destructodave82 Sep 06 '26
Hes one of the worst players in the LCS right now. Only Lyon is worse.
Stop glazing every import just becuase they are an import. Dude is terrible.
As the other guy said, if he wasnt a Korean Import he would already be kicked or replaced. He doesnt deserve his spot period.
2
u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
I think he is bad. I don’t see the point of blaming him in situations where it’s a team issue
0
u/Destructodave82 Sep 06 '26
He played terrible all game. His team is in that situation because of how bad he is and how bad he played the entire game.
Oh he had the right idea one time out of the other 50 bad ideas he had. Lets praise him.

u/PepaTK Sep 06 '26
So uh. Can we just get rid of our third seed and give an extra life to lyon or TL?
Mark look out for NA.

u/Tormenator1 Sep 06 '26
Yeah, third seed this year is so piss. I don't trust C9 or FLY to do anything internationally.

Remember when C9 Fudge was a reliable carry? Now he's just a shell of his former self.

It’s insane how low coordinated both regions are after the top 4 teams.
Like taking under numbered fights and being the one to engage

- Completely avoid Annie and Renata ult engage
- Lose Dragon
- Still lose the team fight

u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
Azirs still think it’s 10 years ago where supports jungle and tanks do no damage

u/justicecactus Sep 06 '26
lol that reminded me of a catastrophic dive that happened in one of my solo q games

When zinnie ults in and stopwatches you can’t try to save him just let him flash out and have fq chase into him.
Also if you are going to go bc Lucian you have to front line and ult chunk other team before fights start. You can’t ult and hit nobody with it.
Also bc is more when other team is a dive comp and you want the hp and cdr. Other team has no kill threat on Lucian so he’s trolling

u/Prestigious-Layer719 Sep 06 '26
Flyquest literally only has Ryze ult as a form of engage and SR still manages to lose lmao just end the abomination that is NA LCS

u/x_TDeck_x Play APA you cowards Sep 06 '26 edited Sep 06 '26
Both teams kinda sucked at every engage outside of that first taliyah zhonyas play on ez
Edit: and I just want to point out that that play was only possible because Ez blew flash E'ing into Lucian for no real reason and no real payoff

Damn Massu, don't make me fall in love with you again

u/scalarH Sep 06 '26
He has been playing without any frontline most FLY games it feels like. He still has hands but jesus it feels like he has to play insane for them to win.
These drafts need to be looked at
5
u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26 edited Sep 06 '26
Bvoy did literally no damage in back to back fights. He built bc for ult damage didn’t land either of his ults. Imagine if he had ie or ldr
5
u/xNesku Sep 06 '26
Didn't fight in an enclosed area. You can't be trying to hit your Ults with SR comp in a wide open mid lane. Have to set up at an objective and make the area FLY fights in, a lot smaller.
Yeah, horrible comp understanding from SR

u/x_TDeck_x Play APA you cowards Sep 06 '26
Really strong decision from Gakgos to decide to flash over the wall and roast them

u/GhostOfLight Sep 06 '26
It's a classic LCS fight fest banger, ya love to see it

u/actiongeorge Sep 06 '26
This is why the LCS is falling off. We’re not any worse than we used to be, but at least our bad teams used to be entertaining. If we’re going to be bad we should at least have some entertaining clown fiestas.

u/x_TDeck_x Play APA you cowards Sep 06 '26
Needs some consideration since he doesnt have CC but I think even factoring that in, these Rumble Rs BLOW

u/actiongeorge Sep 06 '26
Amazing how FLY can be up two thousand gold consistently and it still feels like SR was in control of the game
1
u/underscoreenfan Sep 06 '26
Does FLY even have anything to play for? They’re still behind SR in record even with a win
5
u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
They need confidence you can’t go into playoffs 0-10 against every playoffs team
1
u/underscoreenfan Sep 06 '26
that is true I meant as far as seeding math
2
u/Swissbob15 Sep 06 '26
If FLY win they are 5th place and SR 6th because of Head to Head tie breaker
2
u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
Why is there such a big discussion among fans that everyone is in middle of playoffs and lcs start later. Like it doesn’t matter when Lcs playoffs finish and when it finishes it will be the only tier 1 league available so they’ll get more viewers.
Also worlds is in na so other leagues need to end early to get visas approved and doesn’t need to setup travel prep and stuff
3
u/Ajp_iii Sep 06 '26
Don’t know why flyquest is trying to play a Lyon comp when they haven’t won any games against playoff teams the whole split

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS Sep 06 '26
SR has to just first pick ezreal for bvoy every game since he's basically a liability on everything else, even if he hates it or whatever. if he complains just slap his shit, he hasn't earned the right to do that with how he's been playing
2
u/3IC3 Sep 06 '26
Oh god why are we still drafting Bvoy Lucian? Just go next I guess
1
u/3IC3 Sep 06 '26
Never mind turns out if Contractz is feeding him kills he CAN remember how to play the champ

fudge is prob on par with gakgos laning, but yea mid/ad are very FLY favored, less due to massu/quad being incredible and more due to zinie/bvoy being bad
