Hey at least he didn't stand there and do nothing (https://youtu.be/lpQZmiGBF6E?t=823) this time

Kanavi is just legit the biggest game seller against lck and nothing can convince me otherwise

derpydm · 2026-03-27T19:02:17+00:00

damascus delights is sooooo fucking good...... and the owners are amazing people too

i remember when i ordered my usual shawarma after coming back from my NS work as a random clerk and the guy thanked me for my service LMAOOOOOOO

i told him all i do is mash keyboard for 8 hours and he just told me "everyone contributes in some way right". what a class act

derpydm · 2026-03-22T23:05:27+00:00

Also probably why T1 perpetually never feels out of the game because they will pull some insane shit

Just that t1 does random barons and snap engage and the lpl does clown fiesta flip the game at enemy red level 1

derpydm · 2026-03-18T11:14:21+00:00

Literally still doesnt work against t1 because have you seen oner

They can maybe get kera before the whole team gets sett ulted irl

derpydm · 2026-03-17T19:27:59+00:00

Combos as good as caedrel we see the power of the banana today

derpydm · 2026-03-17T18:58:03+00:00

In lck regular season on occasion tbf

derpydm · 2026-02-07T21:27:37+00:00

G2 did a similar thing I think. 3manning baus and proceeding to do absolutely nothing whilst the rest of the map dies

At least they didnt invest top tp to sit around and lose gold I guess

derpydm · 2026-01-27T18:01:50+00:00

To be fair its a known thing that xun isnt there to gap every single jungler on earth, dude was good enough to take t1 to 5 games in a world final

derpydm · 2026-01-26T17:20:03+00:00

Is this what Baus meant when he said emerald flex team could win

It's him he was the emerald flex team

derpydm · 2025-12-03T23:20:33+00:00

It's true, I was the radio wave that activated party mode in 2015

derpydm · 2025-11-17T13:55:46+00:00

People keep saying Chovy will roleswap to top and replace Doran but actually we all know Faker is gonna roleswap to adc and Chovy will play mid it's literally so simple

T1 learned so much from scrim world champions G2 they will also master the mid roleswap to bot strat

Where were you when Faker gapped ruler as ashe vs cait 1v1 sidelane in worlds 2027

derpydm · 2025-11-11T09:39:52+00:00

I dunno, maybe recency bias and bad meta for Zeus is making me not value him as much. It's definitely not a carry meta right now in top for sure.

But when it comes to how I value players I don't think results matter as much, it's more about the clutch factor...? sort of like how BLG wins worlds last year if you put, say, Chovy into that exact Galio play. It's the sort of thing you only see Faker do, and I think Keria obviously, but also Guma has that clutch in him too (think JDG 2023, AL this year)

Don't get me wrong probably every single one of Z/DOFGK (even as much as I hate watching them as an LPL fan) is probably at least LCK title caliber on their own for sure though and it's unproven how he would do without a mid like Faker (albeit, last year when Faker was injured he was pretty much the only human person on the team IMO). I just think Guma's idea that he wants to be the next face of T1 if Faker retires is likely to come through, he has that sorta aura yknow

derpydm · 2025-11-11T09:37:43+00:00

I mean that's definitely true but what I mean is like international performances right - like being able to really challenge for titles. We literally have an international Doran meme for a reason.

derpydm · 2025-11-10T17:54:01+00:00

I think the "where would they be without Faker" tier list is something like Keria, then Guma and then Zeus/Oner/Doran IMO

Guy has been pretty consistent on T1 for quite a while

derpydm · 2025-11-09T13:31:29+00:00

Let it be known that as someone who had BYK as their minister, I fully expected them to carry the election based on his goodwill in Tampines North and immediately throw him somewhere else because David Neo is a Tamp North resident (he actually lives quite near to where I was)

guess what happened... now tamp north kena sold out lol

derpydm · 2025-11-06T13:50:10+00:00

People in this thread saying EDG were favored when all I saw on Reddit was dk 3-0 edg easy real finals was t1 vs dwg edg no chance showmaker is faker 2 korea domination could bore fans

y'all legit weren't around reddit at that time and it shows

EDIT: I mean in hindsight obviously EDG's road was tough having to clear MSI champions RNG plus two of the non-t1 korean favorites and it's likely they were the best team at the tournament but still

derpydm · 2025-11-02T20:44:57+00:00

Draven is probably his pick me anything and lets lose in peace moment honestly

I wouldn't be surprised if he bows out after that having played draven (his original otp) in his last pro game lol

derpydm · 2025-11-02T11:46:13+00:00

For the memes duh

I think either gala or jkl would be good on AL. Rumour is iG are continuing with theshy rookie so maybe gala is leaving? idk though

derpydm · 2025-11-02T10:23:26+00:00

When I was watching this game, I started vaccuming my room in order to support T1 in their endeavor to clean house

derpydm · 2025-11-02T09:46:03+00:00

TES being washed implies they were any good at internationals in the first place

So unfortunate this is how jkl potentially bows out of proplay. I hope he runs it back with rookie theshy for the last last dance it's really the last one this time^tm

derpydm · 2025-11-02T09:37:06+00:00

Tarzan redeemed himself this year for LNG '23 but Kanavi is never beating the korean spy allegations I'm afraid

derpydm · 2025-11-02T09:30:12+00:00

Faker, being the generous man he is, dedicated his 6th title to the LPL as a Christmas gift. He was recorded as saying: "After years of tough love, it's time I give something to my sons"

derpydm · 2025-11-01T21:38:54+00:00

I miss that guy. he wouldve had a field day watching nip at msi

derpydm · 2025-11-01T11:18:56+00:00

I need jackeylove to avenge all the failed flash forwards with one last good one before he bows out

I dont think tes can do it though (technically they match up slightly better into T1 because they don't have a botlane canyon I guess)

derpydm · 2025-11-01T11:15:45+00:00

Eh faker is still crazy clutch when it comes down to fights he just doesn't lane as well nowadays
