Felt like crsip was better on senna than light, his soul count was much more on pace(before they started getting rolled over)
They need to rebuild a superteam around him. Caps/Miky was the only player actually keeping up while BB was sprinting it and Yike was a non-factor.
Wasn’t 2019 arguably better? 2 lpl teams in semifinals+lpl won that year vs 3 lpl teams in semifinals no win.
Yup Nuguri quickly comes to mind. FPX were probably paying him a shit ton, but he got burned out so quickly playing in lpl. Still saddened by what could’ve been damwon contesting T1’s legacy to nuguri and showmaker become a husk of their previous selves.
Honestly, why don’t top sions build radiant virtue? I get that Heartsteel gives you a lot of dopamine, but I feel like you get so much free health anyways and you’ll help your team so much more with the insane amounts of healing.
You see there’s a korean in every lpl team minus BLG so T1 must’ve activated their sleep agents!(ignore T1 2-0ing blg during swiss)
And there were 3 lck in semis last year, what’s your point? Comparing regional strength between lck and lpl at this point is moot they are both very strong, it all depends on draw. Dk got eliminated via civil war and kt got eliminated by arguably the strongest lpl team(which got 3-1 by T1). Only team that you can argue choked was geng.
I don’t get how they didn’t just take 5 plates as ashe heimer vs aphelios bard. Is bard supposed to be able to match heimer in lane?
People here wanting a close series but I just want Faker to raise the trophy one last time. LPL can take the next 10 years worth of international trophies for all I care after. T1 3-0.
I agree, but I think the point is that it’s ok to say JDG were overrated a bit. If they truly were the best team in the world, or ever, I feel like they should have either A. Been able to adapt to the meta or B. Say fuck the meta, and play their usual front to back composition and win anyways because they are individually that much better(personally would’ve preferred the latter tbh because 369 looked so shaky on Rumble and Aatrox).
I also generally don’t remember Faker really being spectacular on the pick on the rare occasions he’s busted it out in recent years.
Man does no one remember the sick azir ult dodge faker did with akali e against HLE? That shit was sexy af.
How well a team can adapt to the meta is also a testament to their strength, and lack thereof is also proof of weakness. Obviously JDG aren’t a bad team by any means(at least top 4 at worlds if not higher) but I do feel like their strength has been overplayed throughout the entire year, when they literally have one playstyle: 369 on tanks, ruler on hypercarry and knight contributing via winning lane or making plays.
Syndra, xerath, kassadin, yone, leblanc to name a couple that could be picked in pro.
While I would trust it I wouldn’t really be happy either. I feel like T1 are better playing “scaling engage” rather than smorc end the game by 20 minutes engage. Akali just looks giga-useless late game compared to orianna and T1 would be on a self-imposed timer(kalista too, altho ik this is an unpopular opinion)
Tryndamere underrated for 1v1 scenarios. Nobody gets full value out of the 5 seconds.
