CAEDREL REACTS TO FPX VS G2 WORLD FINALS

[@JeremyMYG]

Doinb's Nautilus mid was such a fucking flex. I was sad the perfect year dream died, but this final was epic.

[@giannidavies3594]

I just remember Perkz saying that if caps went a Norma mid like ori they would be so fine that game

[@tutowo7304]

S9 had the most fun meta ever where every single team can play its own unique draft, if this finals was a 3-2 it could be the best finals ever

[@Vinsmokedu]

Both bo5's G2 had vs SKT at MSI and Worlds in 2019 were some of the best series ever imo. SKT the classic LCK controlled team with strong fundamentals vs G2 playing a very onorthodox style ingame where they traded alot instead of contesting objectives and ofc had very spicy drafts.

[@karlrose405]

Even if FPX played against G2 10 series on this exact day of the final, FPX would still win all 10 series, and most of the times they would win cleanly 3/0 or 3/1... G2 was simply not showing up to the final at all. They got gapped since min 1 from game 1 to the last min in game 3... It was sadly a diagusting performance. It really hurts, but that's just how the cookie crumbles, sometimes you just can't play well... On this Final, none of the G2 players played well sadly, just unlucky

Something that really stands out to me in watching this series is the lack of dragon soul. The end game for game 1 feels so different since teams aren't forced into all or nothing fights for soul drake. And without soul it still felt like G2 could come back in the game if they found the angle.

Games evolve, for better or for worse. I'd rather have a constantly developing game than an unchanging one.

[@Ecaea]

Its actually because roaming actually matters instead of game being fixed on draft and bot lane being dumbed down to a few champs. I rmbr i hated and love this meta the most as a jgler since midlaners either pick galio sylas , tf sylas or pyke vs ___ mid. And most jglers r either kz , evelynn , lee or j4. Just everyone nuking 1 another , counter jgling 2v2 in the middle of the river all the time. Perma top prio for herald to rush 1st tower. And i perma banned graves. Good time.
