@@WickedSL there is a reason why it's scheduled first
i think u were recording this while t1 was actually struggling to win against an 'fing smolder
Let's goooooo. It's our LEC dads!
The desk looks like a giant guitar pick and I cant unsee it
1:10:04 But that's what Jun did when he played Rell tho vs TH. It just gets brushed off because FNC lost that game
Hehe i like how u put first the saltiest comment for the Jun segment, which was mine :D Interesting points u had and i agree with them. I would also add to that, that Jun being good, not awesome, not "sticking out" like the Razork/Huma duo, doing his job properly in all aspects of the game and being consistent in it, is also why Fnc's mid/jgl duo is able to shine like that, because noone needs to quench any fires in the botlane, there are no big distractions and our bois are given more stability therefore more free room to do their own things and that is imo the reason why Jun should have been talked about more. Nevertheless this was a good podcast episode and i think we can also all agree with that Sk vs Kc segment :D Cheers!
what brand are those glasses, i really like em
NS vs T1 is a perfect example of how bad a champ smolder is. Shutdown and zoned off from 3 waves at level 3 but still ends up climbing back without issue. That champ needs major retuning before it should be allowed again. Just put it into the ground

As long as teams don't take scrims seriously the LEC is going to be the graveyard for midgames. A petition of all the teams to take scrims seriously might not fix everything but it's a step. A simple step that teams can't even commit too
I think you understate the amount of impact nisqy has on the losses. Nisqy is the biggest factor in their wins but he also throws every of his leads away within 5-10 minutes
Someone needs to do a filthy frank compilation of the broken new riot champions with Smoulder + Zeri etc. 'THIS NEEDS TO STOP" IT'S TIME TO STOP THIS IS NOT OKAY
watching the end of this after RGE beat G2 on saturday feels insane
Wunder and Jankos back to G2.
didnt you guys have a swear jar this season? xd

I disagree so hard with practice can’t replicate real games. It’s only an issue with esports. If a physical sport is failing at practice there’s massive punishments and they’re immediate. It’s on teams and coaches to honestly start training players to take it seriously or they’re not cut out to be pros.

I only know it from football but not a single practice is like a real game cause barely any team has 22+ players and there's higher risk of injury. So what you basically do is practice in ... practice mode.

I think its embarrassing we don’t use scrims as proper practice games because of mindsets that just aren’t willing. If I didn’t play seriously in the in team American football matches I wouldn’t even be put in the actual game.

Isn't it a good news for G2 at the end of the day that Fnatic is able to contest on side lane macro ? at least the get the challenge they need to progress. If they need to 'lose' a split to get better at worlds , I'm all for it. Btw MSI can not be good , it's a catchup session on asian gameplay for them to prepare for world. I don't think it is reasonable to have expectation for MSI.

But i disagree on FNC being good with macro. Every game they try to gain early leads & win the game around baron/dragon fights by having 3/4k gold advantage. They didn't play good macro vs G2. They were 13k gold ahead and were afraid to run smolder down so they took all objectives side lanes because they had to do something and wait for an opening to engage on smolder.

@@PastaDiMama44 They were "scared" to run at Smolder because Smolder would (and on multiple occasions almost did) wipe them off the map even at 13k gold lead. Yes, the champ is that broken that he can wipe your team even at such a disadvantage. The fact that they managed to win that game through sidelanes playing away from Smolder is a good thing regarding macro, you make it sound like it's a negative xD To an extent it feels like you wanted them to throw the game by running down Smolder and getting wiped in the process, and you're now just salty that they didn't throw like that. So yes, whether you want to admit that or not, their macro vs G2 was insanely clean, exactly because it didn't have to rely on running at people and teamfight them.

@@doomse150 i'm didn't mean to be negative towards FNC. But they play for leads early game by punishing enemy mistakes or enemy understimating FNC diving them (which is a good thing). Like when Hans Sama went back to lane after getting 2 kills & Noah killing him right after because he didn't reset. But its not that FNC wins games because of macro plays. They played away from Smolder late game because its OP. Smolder can't be in 3 lanes at same time so taking inner & outer turrets isnt hard at that point since they had a 10+k gold lead and owned the map. But they didn't get that lead because they played a good macro game. They won early. G2 kept forcing fights when behind & FNC punished them for it
8:55 bro play this machup and say it again, its counterpick in mid/late, in early is ksante favored

If you really good player, you can push Ksante, if you look at best players in world, Gwen is usually winning, but I agree its really hard to play her properly. Of course that Ksante can have windows, but no way that Gwen should get solokilled couple of times. Good player can just push Ksante and scale freely to the point, where you can beat him. Especially after the Ksante nerfs I’m not even sure, if you have the windows
Why No one hold Falco accountable for G2 draft problems ? I don't care how confident players are , you don't draft Ahri Leesin into locked Taliyah and famous Poppy player . Also you don't draft carry top and jng , when you have late game ADC . Falco drafting is bad and he keeps getting away with it because of G2 players mechanics . i do think best chance for G2 is promoting Duffman head coach

financial incentive for scrims, how about it boys?
@yusufali8364

Champions queue was ditched despite having financial incentive, what makes you think they'll take scrims seriously with financial incentive? It'll be useful for at most 3 splits before these lazy bums revert to their old ways. They are essentially being paid to play League, that includes scrim, solo queue, draft meetings etc. as well not just official games. If they really wanted it, they would take solo queue and scrims more seriously instead of complaining about it.
I disagree with the Varus/Ashe take, are these guys even watching the games. The only reason that no one in the LEC is playing it is because either Ashe or Varus are banned every game. It is unlikely that one or the other isn't banned.
Yeah our teams goign to MSI better bring a lot of lube with themselves for what is about to happen.
Still trying to sell Nisqy?🤡
