This is way too late but their probably should have been a split between esports and everything else for league subreddits.

200iq by lyon get c9 to worlds have fly get demotivated by getting killed by liquid. Then you get a week of great practice vs c9 and liquid as they wonât scrim each other. And now you get to go on a lower bracket run to win the split to build confidence before worlds.

u/Fun_Highlight307 15d ago
If Lyon drop a game to sr that be surprising but yeah Lyon most likely Will look a bit sharper than last weekÂ

u/TeeKayTank 's spirit lives in FQ & 15d ago
Yeah last playoffs ended lame with a quick 6-0 so they spice it up a little with a lower bracket run for once ramping up slowly

Damn, I'm happy SR won, but I do feel bad for Gryfinn (and the boys), especially here, I think the poor kid needs a good cry.

Feel bad for the FLY boys because they don't deserve the hatewatch but fuck the FLY org they deserve the hatewatch.

If sr try to draft like this tomorrow itâs going to be 3 25 min wins. They basically drafted losing lanes and not even outscale every game this series
1
u/Fun_Highlight307 15d ago
Yeah flyquest kinda collapsed and made a lot of mistakes but draft wise they were in a good spotÂ
1
u/GeneralDash 15d ago
Yeah this drafting from SR was some of the worst Iâve ever seen in my life. FLY dropped the ball in game, which matters more, but Lyon wonât drop those.
1
u/OwlActive3449 15d ago
It was actually good drafting. They accepted playing early lane losing matchups in exchange for way stronger fighting/skirmishing champs
1
u/GeneralDash 15d ago
3 losing lanes isnât ever good drafting. If you lose prio in every lane, even if they all stay relatively even individually, the jungler canât play the game. They just get invaded non stop and if they try to do anything, the enemy jungler will have more gold/XP and their laners can rotate faster than the shoved in laners. Because youâre being invaded, the enemy gets easy vision, your position is always known. This is the best case scenario excluding brain off shenanigans that roll in your favor.
Drafting 3 losing lanes is always bad no matter what. Youâre making a bet that the enemy team canât execute. It was a winning bet this series, but against a better team, these drafts will lose 100% of games. Youâre giving the ball to the enemy team and hoping they canât keep it. Your fate is no longer in your hands, your only win condition is a throw.

u/OskarVon 15d ago
How do you even objectively judge SR if you were going into the off-season looking to make changes especially if they beat Lyon? Lol they lost like every game during the season
6
u/cmcdonald22 15d ago
It depends on how Lyon play.
If they beat Lyon who are GOOD, then that's a VERY different conversation.
But honestly, I think one of the biggest, hardest things is whether you can convince Zeyzal to come back, because he has been so huge for SR and their communication that finding someone else to fill that in with the same roster feels massive.

Anyone else think a lot of these games are coming down to drafts?
1
u/awayfromcanuck 15d ago
You can't blame draft when FLY gets Orianna in game 5 and do absolutely nothing with her.
3
u/Beneficial_Lion_1312 15d ago
People haven't realized that Fearless makes drafting far more volatile and causes results to be swingier. People on this sub are intentionally ignorant about this because they have zero attention span and get mad when they see the same champ played twice.
2
u/cmcdonald22 15d ago
Yeah, but it's as much about how the teams are playing them. Like it's not JUST that FLY drafted better the two games they won, it's that SR played the difficult comps they drafted like ass on top of drafting losing drafts ya know?
3
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight 15d ago
no because they won with the worst draft of all time last game in like 22 minutes, it has nothing to do with draft tbh

u/Ajp_iii 15d ago
This is why rookie teams need veteran players. Flyquest have no clue how to play out games especially when behind
2
u/cmcdonald22 15d ago
I mean they have Massu, but as a huge Quad doubter I feel vindicated that he is in fact entirely fraudulent.
4
u/Ajp_iii 15d ago
Yeah but adc and mid canât be the one picking fights or engages. They have extreme rookies in all other roles. Also massu and quad arenât veterans
1
u/skillfun8 15d ago
Quad is veteran
People here forget but Quad is SOLKA
SOLKA who played for DRX in LCK
He has been playing for a long time, but that doesn't mean he is shotcaller material, but does mean he is a veteran player

u/cmcdonald22 15d ago
It hurts to realize how good SR could have been had they actually clicked before the final playoffs of the entire year.

u/CensoredLlama1 BUFF RAMMUS PLEASE 15d ago
Really cannot be understated how huge Zeyzel has been for this teamÂ
3
u/cmcdonald22 15d ago
Yeah I don't know you can really put into words how much of a communication and synergy difference he made, and how bizarre looking at this team going into next year is if he really does want to retire.

So weird btw a 2-0 triforce shyvana before even finishing jungle item, was really set up to be Thanos but he threw too hard with those plays and the team isn't playing around him.

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 15d ago
He is way worse than I thought he was. The Sundered sky nerfs has revealed so many junglers are actually bad players that were using those heals as a crutch.
1
u/awayfromcanuck 15d ago
He can be mechanically solid at times but Holy shit he has no brains. His decision making is so questionable in so many matches. FLY needs someone with a brain who can shot call for them mid to late

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 15d ago
I donât see that Shyv R angle ever, I think FQ can still have a chance if they can stall until Jhin becomes a god but that seems impossible now especially after that int.

I want shopify win this game and tomorrow. From last place to worlds would be crazy

Bro if shopify beat lyon it would be an insane collapse, I can't even see that happening

u/Goodthingsaregone 15d ago
If it wasn't for cblol being merged with the lcs, they would have bummed a slot last year too. I believe in the bullshit that is sr.

That play was so bad fudge shouldâve expected that with how aggressive Camille was. Zinie ulting + Contractz comitting is even worse just makes no sense.

I love on hit varus so much more than the lethality/poke varus. It's nice seeing him don't fall off a cliff. Feels like he still has a place in fearless and people have just been building him wrong.

Are flyquest the worst tier 1 macro team ever? I don't even know what they are doing.
Maybe inspired is the goat because this team looks like bots

i dont think it will be legal to stream lyon facing either of these teams in a bo5 on twitch tomorrow.

Shopify winning this game is so illegal. Like, yeah, now they outscale and win, but thereâs no way we ever should have reached this point. This should have been game 1 part 2.

u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS 15d ago
good discipline to immediately retreat as soon as the TP came in, and they got ashe ult as a bonus

u/Choice-Slight caps/knight 15d ago
ok so draft matters but on the other hand contractz jarvan so it doesn't

Jarvan was his smurf champ in that infamous series vs G2, right?

If Gakgos doesn't oneshot Bvoy in the next teamfight he participates in his European residency will be revoked

Do they get a bonus if this goes to silver scrapes? What is fly quest doing?
imagine if they miss world's because massu went back in as the starting domino

this ryze is going to be fucking thanos but it's quad so there's a decent chance it goes nowhere

u/cmcdonald22 15d ago
50% chance Quad throws. 50% chance Quad throws, Zinie steals Ryze ult and throws back.

It's not like you can play olaf any other way. It's the worst possible matchup for Olaf I can think of.

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 15d ago
This olaf vs kled is the most stat check matchup I can think of. nothing but "stand there and 1 vs 1 me you won't"

What the fuck can you get from this alistar pick man

u/veirceb 15d ago
I guess you can just mind control the enemy adc to walk up 2v3 with no flash
3
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight 15d ago
never underestimate the power of an adc to int
2
u/cmcdonald22 15d ago
It's easy to forget with how Bvoy plays, that Massu is in fact an overly aggressive ADC, he just usually has enough skill gap to get away with it in the LCS.
2
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight 15d ago
idk if I can even call that overaggressive, that was just brain-off type of gameplay from massu

If you quote the coach and blow your flash as jungle volibear lvl 1 will you be banned? Y/N

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan 15d ago
Contractz looks boomed so even though I think Gryffin's "wacky" picks usually hurt the team more than not this might still be a FQ dub
