@@taylorwolf7958 I'd say 2-3, but it's not about EU or NA going to quarters or semis, it's more about EU or NA winning a few games against KR and CN - let's be realistic 😂 I still believe G2 could advance to quarters, but finals will probably be HLE/GEN/BLG/LNG

Infinite stacking damage in a game of "skill" is so fun and logical

[@alejandrosenacarballo7658]

seems like you dont understand the game, is not a game of skill, is an strategy game, skill its just a part of it.

[@davidmirzayi1289]

An infinitely scaling champ shouldn't have lots of tools. He deals physical, magic and true damage so it's very difficult to itemize against him. He has a dash, burn, execution and he deals AoE damage. His design is so OP. I think Aurelion Sol is also OP. I don't know why they designed these infinitely scaling champs who deals lots of AoE damage. These two champs only need to play carefully early game and farm until they dominate the game. Veigar is an infinitely champ but he doesn't have many tools, unlike the infinitely scaling dragons

[@shmurflHD]

that macro plays at the end from caps and mikyx was a bit weird; i know smolder was strong but i think G2 had a really powerful teamfight in this game.

[@LettuceDeerwig]

Looking for some sort of outmaneuvering/backdoor play was really their only option (not to mention that it probably would've worked if Smolder's TP got stopped). G2's comp could never win an honest fight against HLE's. Lillia needs to play slowly on the edge of fights, Varus is the only backline DPS threat, and Yone needs to either play like Lillia or be a diving assassin. Adding in Poppy solidifies that G2's comp is strong in either drawn-out, mid-range skirmishes or quick picks. Unfortunately, HLE's champions make it impossible to play for the former and extremely difficult to capitalize on the latter. Sejuani/Braum have the tools to check Lillia and Yone as they run around, while the double backline threat of Ashe + Smolder will always out-DPS Varus. This leaves G2 with finding flanks and diving onto the carries as their only options, which they have Rell to help achieve. The problem is that, not only are picks not good enough unless you get the Smolder, but Ashe is still there as a backup carry even if you do. And if you commit to the dive, Braum and Sejuani can easily switch priorities to defending their backline against the sole dive threat of Yone. And if Yone can't catch Smolder separated from Braum and delete him, G2 is going to get run down by permanent slows, repeated stuns, and low-cooldown nukes. G2 needed to win early so they could control vision and enable these dive scenarios, but Mikyx whiffed an engage at 14 minutes and subsequently donated the Herald, which HLE used to break open mid lane. From that point on, G2's comp was functionally shut off. It's extremely impressive that they were able to find so many clutch plays to work around this disadvantage, but early map control was so integral to the comp's ability to function that all they could really do was tread water once mid fell. As soon as Smolder got too tanky for Yone to 1-shot, G2 was out of miracles.

[@Praymaina]

@@taylorwolf7958 Do you even know what a Baron flip is? Why would a 2-3 exit be considered an overperformance? Do you even know what you’re talking about? The game was already done before the first Baron, and yet G2 still found good plays for another 20 minutes and managed to avoid teamfighting. And copying and pasting your opinion 50 times doesn’t make you any smarter; it just shows how little you actually know about what you’re saying.

Well played G2, great showing again, even with the loss a good start in the tournament. Keep on going!

[@averagephonkenjoyer7021]

wow smolder still needs more nerfs, what a broken champ

[@boggart1062]

He's 100% going to end up in the Zeri/Azir zone, too dumb in pro play to be viable in solo q. They could change his stacking mechanic to only work on champions rather than champions and minions, which probably kills the champ anyway since as an infinite scaler his early game has to be bad.

@davidmirzayi1289 the problem is, as a scaling champ and with his "weak" early game, he bullied Caps out of the lane. That should not be viable or possible as a stacking late game champ.

[@boggart1062]

@@averagephonkenjoyer7021 Nah, Caps was barely behind on CS and equal on levels. If he was playing something with more power 1-5 he would've been ahead. The hp bar makes it look worse than it is but with second wind, d shield and fleet it's almost impossible for smolder to actually get the kill or really pressure him away from farm, you hit like 300hp and then just sit there. Having said that, yeah smolder's early game should be even weaker given all the tools he has late.

[@TheTTrickz]

Wow what a game

[@TheSirLancelot2]

That was a close game from G2. In the end they lost to a ultra scaling champ in Smolder and a great game from Zeka. I can see G2 beat Weibo and go on to playoffs if they have a little bit of draft luck. Even if they loose to Weibo they still have the chance as long as they then avoid to draw the looser from T1 vs BLG.

[@rmxevbio5889]

Take a sip mate

[@allbies]

G2 were given a way back in by HLE after their poor early game, however vs any other champ but Smolder it seemed like G2 would've won that won in the end. Someone said 'Playing vs Smolder is like playing vs this clock in chess', and I agree with that a lot. It's not as though in LoL champions take 40 minutes and a complicated strategy to scale, it's very fast compared to DOTA scalers for example and often not difficult to get them in their scaled states. It doesn't feel good to watch games with or play versus that champion.

[@trstnhn]

You change things in an event everything else to play out the same? If Zeka was on something other than Smolder, the game would have played out identically? Lol come on dude.

[@allbies]

@@trstnhn Did I say that? You can do that either way. If Zeka forced a mage mid he might've underperformed compared to an AD and give G2 an early lead. We can paint a million scenarios. My point is no other champion in the game puts you on a clock like Smolder does, and the part that feels bad is it's relatively easy for good teams to get to that point, even vs other good teams.

[@JoannaFalkowska]

But it's common knowledge that vs Smolder and the like you're really playing vs the clock. If the teams know that and still don't make sure to have the tools to end before ~30, that just means they lost in draft and it's on them. IIRC, typically you'd need to pick early champs and lots of hard cc to force early skirmishes, and in midgame try to hold/disengage 4v5 with side lanes pressure when possible. G2 tried to do that here, all of their picks support this strat, they just got outplayed.

[@allbies]

​@@JoannaFalkowska I'm not arguing whether or not it's on G2 to know their possible win conditions or to change their draft if they don't think they can beat Smolder. As I said originally, I think champions like Smolder are boring for the game and the viewer experience, particularly because LoL is a far simpler game in terms of getting a champion late enough in the game to which it reaches it's win condition. I'm not saying G2 deserved to win and were robbed, if anything HLE threw a commanding position in the first place.
