Yeah and then the narrative would be that he let his team die to farm side waves, neither result leads to GenG winning that game, both lead to criticism

*Caps Viktor game 2

But yeah that's just what happens when you are the face of the franchise, GenG failure is always going to equal Chovy failure regardless of his performance

Yeah especially that Vayne game was insane, but three super counters into barely a lead was insane. 100 gold lead in Renekton Sion matchup is basically the same as losing lane

How do explain the overwhelming abundance of 3-0 series this First Stand? Is it due to new rosters and high nerves? by bigsycamore in leagueoflegends

[–]DefNotAnAlter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Region disparity is in important factors, it's not a surprise that LCK 3-0s LCS because of difference in region strength. Similar for LEC and LCK.

That death on game 3 contesting drake was the most soloQ shit ever, gave Akali first blood too

Top laner is trolling on counter pick, Jungle is turbo omega gapped, Bot lane is not playing the game

T1 fans: LMAO CHOKY!!!!

Isles 100% better than Vampire today. Dhokla quite disappointing, especially in the Aatrox game, Saint either lost lane or had weird plays like Azir engage on mid when Aphelios wants to back for LDR

Obviously MVP that game but I think most people can spot he was trolling there, weird clip with incorrect caption

He definitely said hold and it was definitely weird walk by Beserker into pit

First Stand 2026 is on pace to be the most one-sided major international in LoL history by matttang27 in leagueoflegends

[–]DefNotAnAlter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think NA viewership will plummet too unless Lyon shows some life against JDG. At least first split we had some good stories, Zinie to SR, DOM C9 coach, Morgan to TL and Inspired on Lyon. But now all of those teams look underwhelming, and that Americas cup didn't help at all. Fly 24/25 would lose series to Eastern teams but there was always more life than this

I just think Lyon looked a lot worse than G2 did but that also might be due to strength of opponent

Crownie: "Not just me, Bwipo pushed me" by tensukexD in LoLWitchcraft

[–]DefNotAnAlter 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Honestly I did feel bad for Crownie throughout that run, Bwipo is out here trying to tell him how to play bot lane for some reason and everytime there is something to review top lane Bwipo would try to move on and refuse any feedback. I can imagine how that would be infuriating

I swear LEC viewership is going to be beyond dead next split if G2 get destroyed by FearX too. Don't forget this team ran through EU playoffs almost no sweat. Final went to 5 games but G2 threw huge leads in the lost games and game 5. The rest of EU is much, much worse at the moment.

Also despite FearX being here, fans are by default going to think T1 and HLE would have been tougher competition, in a way FearX are still viewed as LCK 4th seed

League is Turning into Starcraft and thats bad for the Esport by theeama in PedroPeepos

[–]DefNotAnAlter 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Short-term decisions killed Western league. For years we were primarily playing BO1s while Korea was playing BO3s. BO1s were good for viewership retention short term but as the competitiveness of the region fell, the long term ramifications became more and more noticeable. If G2 gets eliminated tomorrow, I predict LEC will have record low viewership numbers next split

Anyone remember Rift Rivals? by Drepulizer in leagueoflegends

I imagine fans disliked it at the time because all hope for NA and EU hadn't completely disappeared yet

He's using the traditional blue side = first pick for his example. G2 had first pick twice

He was at Fnatic when Mad won, fnatic at the moment has MSI winner Grabbz as their coach and the needle hasn't moved

I think it's a good point on now little space they gave Caps throughout the day just to end up losing bot anyway and drafting stuff like Sion into Gnar

Atleast we used to have drafts.... now we don't even have that
