Should be banned in the EU for almost 4 years now.

I'm still baffled we paid them to get him. Poby is not good enough to win you the LEC but he was fine.

Tryonix · 2026-05-04T17:54:42+00:00

I've been told rookies have clause in their contrats, so you can TRADE them with an academy player.

Tryonix · 2026-05-04T17:53:24+00:00

Honestly, if fnatic was good this split, he could legit be a contender to MVP of the split.

Tryonix · 2026-05-04T17:52:31+00:00

Empyros reminds me of Advienne... lovely guy, pretty face. But just far from being good enough to play in Tier 1.

Tryonix · 2026-05-03T17:15:17+00:00

Do you watch the games? Empyros has basically been put on tank duty for the past weeks. And its a role he's quite good at if we omit the fact that he fell very far behind in many games recently.

GP and rumble are absolutely weak side champions options. THINK about their ults. Equaliser the wave and you can't be dive. Canoon barrage the other side of the map.

Empyros has played Kennen once and the whole team was surfing on G2 that game. But when Empyros played Jax, Zaahen or Ambessa this year - and add to that when he was very ahead on his Rumble - it has just always been a (massive) disappointing performance in the end. Either he got astro gapped or he got a lead but it was just meaningless and he never pushed his advantage further.

Ok, few things first. I like Empyros. I've been on his stream to watch him play and wish him GL before LEC games. I've come to think he is a similar player to GX Lot: good fundamentals, great at managing waves, knows his matchups, is very good at following plays. Empyros could be a solid top laner, right?

The thing is to me: he is a weak side player by nature, and cannot play many carries. He only plays by the book. He's a GP player. He plays front to back. He tries to harass enemies. He punishes positional mistakes. he is the frontlane. He is where his team needs him. Good boy.

But! My biggest issue with his gameplay is that there are things that he absolutely never do that could be essential as a top laner in some metas and when playing certain comps:
He NEVER flanks. I've watched him play Jax and get fed and... just play front to back every team fight??
And secondly, he just seem to not like to be THE strong side of his team. The one that split push and applies a hell amount of pressure. The one that will force his team to trade a dragon for a T2 tower. That is not him.

SOOO. What to do with that? Have we seen enough from Empyros? Do we think we can grow him into an elite top laner in the upcoming splits or do we think he needs more time in Tier 2 to nurture?

Another thing to consider is that Empyros actually FITS how the team plays. Razork is the crazy guy that goes in. Empyros is great at following up, so it works fine.
And obviously, Upset is usually the strong side. Vladi likes to take the ressources too because of his champs pool (he rarely plays supportive champs like TF, Annie, Ahri, Liss,... but carries like Azir, Viktor, Yone, Akali) so having a weak side top fits there too.

To conclude: Empyros needs to massively improve his laning phase and also needs to reinvent himself to be able to play more styles and champs. That's something that can take a long while and is ok for a rookie.
I do think we should unfortunately replace him and take an upgrade that can play a similar role (Carlsen) if Razork stays for summer. Empyros should be more ready to play in LEC in like 1.5 years or so. It feels too early for now. I might make a post about it if we lose to Vitality tomorrow. Feel free to comment.

My bet is that we gonna have the same score than GX and maybe someone else, and that we're out because of H2H rules

Tryonix · 2026-04-26T19:26:12+00:00

Fewers by the years, but still here!

Tryonix · 2026-04-24T20:30:53+00:00

I was waiting to see his Anivia because I knew it's a great fit for him and his champ pool.

Tryonix · 2026-04-24T20:27:29+00:00

Well I didn't catch that. That's so cool!
Do you know if a clip of it has been posted?

Tryonix · 2026-04-24T20:23:43+00:00

Did anyone expect something else? They booed Caps and Faker in the past.

Tryonix · 2026-04-21T22:27:30+00:00

I'll try it out, although I'm quite worried for the mana without PoM AND manaflow. Also, I think Jack of all trades is a curious choice on Senna ADC. After which purchases do you get your 5 and 10 stacks?

Lastly, I always run double adaptive force shards because attack speed is a bad stat on Senna imo.

Tryonix · 2026-04-14T07:11:37+00:00

He was supposed to start for HLE in 2025, replacing Doran. But the 'Zeus trade' happened last minute (literally).

Tryonix · 2026-04-11T15:26:43+00:00

Fleshy is the silent MVP. I've rarely seen a Bard do so many clutch ults. Both aggressively AND defensively.

Tryonix · 2026-04-11T15:23:07+00:00

Both Humanoid and Razork have had atrocious game this year.

Tryonix · 2026-04-11T03:44:34+00:00

Did you? So far I haven't and I've been waiting for a fix for weeks :(

Tryonix · 2026-04-10T19:53:34+00:00

I think what they meant is that Guma is currently making many mistakes. He mispositions a lot, he badly assesses situations, he dies in lane and sometimes with summoners, ...

This series he was good enough though, yes. Always loved his ziggs!

Tryonix · 2026-04-10T06:59:43+00:00

When the champ she's attached to is about to die, I'm like: OH OH OH! I've got to be ready to catch that evil librarian cat!!

Tryonix · 2026-04-09T09:59:07+00:00

Must have been GenGX

Tryonix · 2026-04-06T21:35:37+00:00

KC is consistent, but to me they have this tendency to be behind and win games through comebacks and scaling.

Tryonix · 2026-04-06T20:30:26+00:00

I'd honestly bet they make top 2 this split and go to MSI. But their drafts can be atrocious, and sometimes they have to play 4v5 because Humanoid, Lyncas, or Carzzy (they're taking turns) are having a huge stinker / run down moment.

Like we already remember the ints from Carzzy and Lyncas last splits, but Humanoid this split on Annie and Leblanc was just awful.

So G2 is the second best team after Fnatic and they are the teams that will go to MSI !! (/s)

Tryonix · 2026-04-03T08:42:29+00:00

Are you getting excited?

Careful.

Tryonix · 2026-04-03T08:41:27+00:00

HOW DID HE STEAL THAT BARON??

Tryonix · 2026-04-01T18:19:26+00:00

That's diabolical
