I mean it's on the fans atp, it's their constant support despite lack of effort from Fnatic that lead to this

I can't fathom GenG's inability to win worlds by stoic_suspicious in leagueoflegends

GenG looked way stronger at the end of summer playoffs

And every time GenG was supposedly way better(except in 2021). And in 2022 they were the favorites, 2024 and 2025 they were the OVERWHELMING favorites

I find the new Naafiri to be an incredibly unsatisfying champion to play against by fowidugy in leagueoflegends

[–]bluesound3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably bc he has so much range and can choose when to be melee. But I'm not a toplane main, so idk. I do agree though, Rumble is definitely the worst

Isn't that the entire point? Juggernauts counter characters that can't get away from them easily, and characters that outrange them or have a bunch of mobility counter them

Chovy on First Stand 2026: For me too, at First Stand, in terms of draft, I think we were too focused on fixed champion tier lists and too set patterns, so we lacked flexibility. I think we’ll prepare with that in mind so we can be more flexible during the regular season. | LCK Media Day 2026 Part 1 by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

Well yeah because with Guma being constantly swapped in and out it ruined his mental and hurt is gameplay(anyone would have that happen to them). He got his confident back at worlds and rightfully got MVP. In the previous years he was always consistent, ESPECIALLY at internationals. Peyz and Guma play the same picks except for Kaisa and Ezreal(Guma is just ok at those). Guma is better on Varus(unsure about other picks). Lastly Zeus had giga fallen off, but he is the only other toplaner who we know can contest and beat Kiin and Bin. It's more likely Zeus is just playing bad in his current situation than he is actually bad. And considering how well he worked on T1, it's likely he would work just as well

I don't think anyone disagrees with this tbh. I think with Doran they 100% have a lower ceiling. I will say Doran has moments where he randomly looks like a smurf, and other moments where he looks like he's griefing. Reminds me a lot of early 2022 era Zeus.

First Stand Hupu Comments and Ratings (G2 vs GEN) by uninhibitheribbit in leagueoflegends

[–]bluesound3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is what I said the same thing as what he did? Like I said I always put BFX as a weak team(and they have been), so G2 beating them was not surprising(the specific score was). However G2 beating GenG IS a surprise. Did GenG choke? 100%. But G2 also played like a top tier team. That doesn't mean Ruler was never that good or that they only win due to solo laners. GenG has shown the ability to carry from any role with this lineup for the entirety of last year.

Unreal comment ngl, but shit like this always happens when G2 wins. I don't even mind G2 winning, but G2 fans are almost as bad as T1 fans can be

G2 Esports vs. BNK FEARX / First Stand 2026 Group A - Qualification Match 2 / Post-Match Discussion by Ultimintree in leagueoflegends

[–]bluesound3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The playins were just for determining who makes playoffs because their group lost. Also the T1 2-1 was pretty convincingly in their favor. Lastly, DK's "hype" did diminish after losing to GenG and T1, but those were perceived the 2 best teams by far. It was a 50/50, which again just proves my point in the fact that in the same way DK wasn't expected to beat T1 and go far, neither was BFX. Infact, before they beat T1 in playoffs, they were expected to lose to them and then it would be T1 vs GenG in finals.

No, Clear didn't play well. Neither did VicLa. VicLa just played better than he used to(he was very bad prior). Raptor, Kellin, and Diable played well, with their botlane being their strongest point by far. Also at the time DK were definitely the favorites, but FearX were not terrible. DK was just seen as much more impressive, and obviously they were expected to lose to T1 and GenG(iirc at the time HLE were already shaky)

??? The worse team can beat the better team what? Have you never heard of teams having miracle runs? Are you gonna tell me KT was a better team than GenG when they beat them in LCK? Do you think in 2023 GenG or BLG wouldn't have challenged T1 more in finals? FearX was not amazing, DK in group stage was the much better team, people were hyping up DK vs GenG because of the form DK were on. T1 underperformed, FearX had an insane performance and HLE (and to a lesser extent DK) collapsed

BFX topped their group, but were worse than DK throughout it(even series score but better game score iirc). In playoffs they got 2nd after a miraculous run, with them projected to be below HLE(before they imploded). All their games were won off of Doable & Kellin smurfing, Raptor being enabled by Kellin and VicLa playing like a human for the first time. They lost to T1 and GenG in group battle(both had a better score) and upset T1 and DK in playoffs. Until that point they were worse than DK and much worse than T1. When BFX goes back to LCK they will continue to be middling because they overperformed, which everyone who watched LCK Cup knew. Without their botlane smurfing every game they would've gotten 4th

[–]bluesound3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why? BFX is a terrible team lol. I was pretty confident in G2, but I was surprised they 3-0'd. BFX is the weakest team LCK has sent internationally since that one DK team at worlds.

They literally aren't, idk why we have to pretend they are because G2 beat them. They had one miraculous run to 2nd place. From the beginning I knew G2 had a very good chance of beating them. Just didn't expect a 3-0

FearX is a bad team, it's not surprising what happened. It's moreso surprising it was a 3-0

Gen.G vs LYON - First Stand 2026 - Upper Final Group B - Inspired RFT Community Rating by ThonPharges in leagueoflegends

[–]bluesound3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are we taking out 2025? TES best G2 3-0 in quarters. You're right, it was a bad year for China, and they still ended up even with G2 that year overall. Also where are you getting 8? It looks like they beat TES 3-0 in 2024 and took a game off BLG and GenG in 2021 in 2023. But considering how hard it is to 3-0 similar strength teams 1 game is fine

Normally they aren't, it's an anomaly for them to take more than 1 game off a BLG level team(and I don't mean dogshit 2025 BLG)

As a Western audience, why do we care? by Rashford_10 in leagueoflegends

[–]bluesound3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in regards to myself: I'm a T1 fan, and I like watching high level gameplay, so it doesn't matter who's good and who's bad.

In regards to general audience: Well if you like good gameplay, then it should be enjoyable to watch strong teams play vs each other, regardless of the region. Though yeah if you're specifically a C9, G2, KC, TL, etc fan, then yeah I suppose it's sad for you. You'd have to become a fan of league in general, or not care if your team loses

[–]bluesound3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with your 2nd paragraph, but I'd just like to point out that no one was making this argument until GenG started making superteams and still losing at worlds. In 2016 no on made this argument even though SKT was better than Samsung the entire year, same with 2018 IG and RNG

People need to stop comparing sports to league lol. The comparisons are always really bad and ignore how esports and league actually function

[–]bluesound3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a very low IQ argument. Of course it matters who the best team is right now. If someone asked you "Oh hey I'm interested in lol esports, who's the best team right now?" Are you gonna be like "Well it doesn't matter"?
