[@qwertdwlrma]

I was out of town, doing a bit of visiting. I heard my friend KkOma had finally taken the time to settle down in the countryside. Rightfully so, after what he’d been through, with all the pent-up stress and frustration built up over the years of coaching the most successful KR team in League. “How have things been buddy?” I asked, as I saw my man step out of the house upon hearing my car come in the drive-through. “All good, life’s been a lot more chill, now that I’ve retired,” he answered. “Hey, wanna check out my animals out back? I’ve taken up farming as a hobby with my free time,” as he motioned over to the back gate. We headed out and he started introducing me to some of the livestock, mentioning how he had named them after his players, as the unhinged animals they were. Just then, I was hit by an unbearable stench. With my eyes watering uncontrollably, I questioned through gritted teeth, “What in the hell is that smell?” He looked over knowingly and said: "Ah. Faker? The goat is never washed.”

In faker's scrims against caps as asol, he got solo-killed two times, his asol really isn't good. But you know what he wasn't good at in the past? Azir. Easyhoon put faker on the bench due to him being a better azir player than faker in the past, the T1 skin of azir is made for him, not faker. But do you know who played the impossible play as azir in Worlds 2023 against JDG ruler? Faker. Being the goat does not mean being the best forever, it is the clutch, the willingness to improve, to win. And after 10 years, Faker is still trying to improve, trying out new possibilities on champions he has yet to master. One day, maybe, asol will be his next trump card.

Such a treat to watch them play, im so proud of G2, T1 was absolutely insane as always in internationals.

Is that true? If so, that's neat, I've been hearing that EU viewership was down significantly, but it seems like G2 is an exception. I wonder how the viewership is divided, how many of those viewers are tuning into watch g2, and how many are there to watch T1. I also wonder what the demographics are as well, how many are Korean, how many are EU, and so on.

@@evedael Wait what?? Where have you heard that EU viewership is down? Not to flame you brother or anything, i mean, this year LEC has had the highest viewership ever, 800k-1mil+ viewers, same as LCK (except LCK finals), LEC and LCK are by far the most watched leagues and they walk hand to hand by viewers. But to anwser to your question, i think ofc that more fans are LCK, but in twitch streams there are mostly EU/NA fans, (remeber that asians might watch from bilibili also), and that number doesnt count the Chinese viewers because China is China we know, Riot knows the exact numbers but for us public the numbers are around 2,5mil+.

@leevimasalin2301 I don't watch Twitch, so I usually just watch cadreal stuff on KZbin, and In a video he mentioned how the production budget was down for the lec compared to LCK it was a 20+ min video unedited where he was watching the LCK production content with all the teams or players in a specific role. My assumption was based on that, and all the pro games I see for LCK, LCS, and EU are from KZbin, which isn't a great indicator for viewer numbers since they are almost always low. Out of curiosity, has riot released what the numbers are for Brazil? Brazilians tend to be pretty dedicated when they watch football , and I assume it will be similar for league.

Hans not building armour pen but still focusing K'Sante is criminal, it's as if he expected K'Sante to never be in his line of sight during teamfights. Doesnt take away from the drafting though, in 2 of their loses the jungler was useless and was obvious from the draft to begin with. I get they are Yike pocket picks but both games effectively turned into a 4v5 because he couldn't ever do anything.

[@marcusmarfe5514]

In all fairness, ksante was the only one with armor and has one armor item at that, the reasoning behind PD is the snowball, belveth execute + jinx passive + pd makes Hans an inevitable death. It didn't work out but it had thought behind it

[@oshhhhh]

@@marcusmarfe5514 agreed. I don't think it's fair to blame hans for the build considering their draft - the moment faker dies in team fights the game should be over for T1 and, in all fairness, that very nearly was the case - they just didn't go baron and instead kept fighting. I think the game could have gone to either of the teams in game 5 to be honest. It was a lot closer than people seem to think - and ldr would not have changed that. The level one in the bot side jungle at the beginning is probably the reason g2 lost - I think you said it well with the execute from yike, jinx passive and pds. The thought was there and they knew what they were doing going in, so ldr wasn't really an option.

[@the_lord_nick]

BB played so damn well in this series! I'll be the first to admit that I had not bought into the hype that he is the best EU top laner, I would watch some of the games throughout the season and I guess I only saw the ones where he was just doing alright or being a role player. But he straight-gapped Zeus in the first three games and showed up big in the 5th game. I've been a LOL fan since season two and I stopped caring about the NA vs EU years ago and just pray a Western team pops off again. This got my hopes up and can't wait to see if G2 makes the lower bracket run!

[@Drock1891]

This was the most insane series. As a T1 fan, I was rooting for a banger, but my blood pressure didn't want it at all. Looking forward to seeing G2 coming from the bottom.

[@kswitch0611]

Honestly respect G2, as a T1 fan since 2013 that was an insane series, G2 rlly pushed T1 to the limit. One could say t1 underperformed with Faker struggling but the way G2 was so quick to just take advantage of that was insane. Honestly GGs

[@Kiiiurself8482]

I think it's because of G2 insanely aggressive play style, they just aren't used to it since they don't have many teams like that in Korea

[@teemopanda02]

You learn more from failures than victories. Faker now knows which champs are most effective for him in this tournament, and you can see him changing his style from going all-in to playing with caution and making picks. Guma and Keria now know how to fully adjust against hyper aggressive bot lanes and deal with lane swaps. Oner knows how to counter jungle against mud fighting teams. And Zeus knows not to mess around with champ selection.

[@tofupowda]

i genuinely say this with no malice but this series is undeniably in g2's favor if they have an adc who could actually impact the game. hans sama was absolutely invisible. i went into this expecting BB to be the weak link but it's by far hans. g2 with a top tier adc can easily make worlds semis edit: i love all the backlash im getting for this. ironically, im a huge T1 fan and was rooting for them all the way lol

Idk Imagine Carzzy in G2 Yes he trolls some games and euns ir sometimes down but so does miky, I think he would kinda fit G2 And Carzzy actually completely carries many games and another advantage over hans is carzzys reaction time.

@@nirvash241 I'm confused at both of you referencing surprise picks? The only surprise pick was kog maw, which went horribly. Poppy was not a surprise pick by any means, at sup? maybe, but it's played about as much as camille support is or rumble. It's a niche pick, which they used a second time, not catching them off guard surely since they just faced it? Bel veth, went horribly, idk what surprise picks you're referring to that went in G2's favour tbh.

[@teemopanda02]

The major issue for other teams is that because G2 pushed them to the absolute brink, T1 would now be able to fully identify all their flaws, weaknesses and crap champ picks. G2 basically gave them a buff for future games. We saw it happening after they were dominated by HLE and then were able to become a major threat in the finals
