Every year, he dominates domestically.

Every year, he shows that he is laning personified.

Every year, he has shows that nobody, and I mean nobody can out-cs him

Every year, he shows that he has some of the greatest mechanics in the world

Teamfighting. S tier.

Vision control and flanking. S tier.

Beating up Faker. His hobby. S tier.

His aura. S tier.

It’s like Chovy’s entire existence is to beat up T1 and that’s it.

I am disillusioned after 5 years at this point.

    I’m a huge Chovy fan as well. I had them winning it all this year and it actually broke my brain how badly they lost to BLG. It was like watching NRG vs. G2 all over again.

    He tried to carry those last games against BLG on his back. It’s not his fault Peanut couldn’t show up to play on the most important make or break game. Even Dorans was going out kicking and screaming. I’m not trying to say it’s a JG diff but there was a large discrepancy in his performance.

    I have a feeling that just like domestically, one day it’s going to click for Chovy and he’s going to win an international.

    Chovy is a great player, but not a leader and doesn’t control the game the way other international caliber mids do. ’

    He will out CS everyone, out dps most people, win most lanes and play picture perfect, but he doesn’t have the unique play making.

    I’ve been calling him the Korean Froggen for years. He will absolutely stomp everyone who does the above things, but put him against someone as good as him, or more creative and he just doesn’t match it.

    He could absolutely win a world championship, but teams are building around him wrong. The game itself also doesn’t fit a mid who just farms and dps, Riot has nerfed the role repeatedly throughout the years due to its ability to affect the map.

    Now that i think about it all this could be summarized with, Chovy will win you his lane but you need the rest of the team has to win the game.

      Hard to win when you have your top laner show up to river, flash over the wall at random, then run back to his turret like nothing happened and recalls.

    Nah,Chovy was fine actually in their series vs BLG.Gen G as a whole just underperformed.Peanut and Delight failed to secure vision in game 1,2 and Xun and ON ran circles in early game and camped bot.

    Despite everything collapsing Chovy managed to either go even in lane or get a lead every time.

    I think Gen G had a real chance to win this series,but their early game was bad,jg/sup synergy was also worse than their opponents,and their vision was also lacking.

    I do hope Gen g can rebuild next year:keep Chovy,Peyz,Delight. Peanut needs to learn again how to jg on carries and get leads early game,rather than rely on his current style of playing tanky jg that lose early game.Doran also need to step up , although he had a great year,but he threw game 5 when he didn’t flash or stopwatch.

    I love Chovy, but even on Griffin it was starting to show he couldnt thrive under the pressure. Its not really his fault, its either you live for it or you collapse from it. Ill throw Peanut in here as well man gets gapped in higher stake situations. Idk maybe its the Gen.G curse to fail deep at worlds. You really hate to see it, ive liked Gen.G for a while and it really hurts as a fan to see them lose on the big stage at Worlds. Hopefully the changes if they do make any will keep them competitive

    Chovy is an amazing player but he’ll never win anything internationally in a team with Doran and Peanut as they collapse under pressure too much.

    IIRC in JLXP, Jatt says his forward% is 13 total this worlds, meaning he doesn’t exert enough pressure to make a difference early on in the game. He’s supposed to be the carry. GenG is straight up built around him, so he really needs to step up and show some international results.
