[@Dikkiedank]

@@brandonbaca1251 If Hans has Last Whisper there instead of Zeal, Zeus cannot frontline like that and jinx gets to push into backline. That fight looks totally different. But Miky + BB engage on the backline with no hp was still questionable, but if jinx can get in there its a lot better. That fight decided the game as T1 got 2 inhibs off it, so Last Whisper would maybe not have won G2 the game, but it definitely would've saved it from being ended there.

K'sante wasn't the problem. If anything Poppy and Zac were more of an issue. Zac's ridiculous base damamge and cell division passive and sling shot that allows him to basically be immortal. Poppy has some sort of CC in all of her abilities that can lockdown squishies easily. It was positioning and team fighting that made the difference. Also, hans not building any pen allowed K'sante to literally sit in front of Jinx without any threat.

[@cdbboy]

Upvote: "" The Day G2 Almost Beat T1 ""

[@Dysceme]

Whether Hans builds LDR or PD wouldn't have changed a thing in this game. Between 30:20 (buys Zeal) and 37:27 (Hans' last death), he AA'd Ksanté 13 times... and not even a single AA when he had PD fully built. So those 13 AAs would have been with +16% arm pen, which doesn't make much of a difference. What WOULD have made a difference is banning Zeus's K'santé instead of Vi or J4 in 2nd ban phase and get another jungler than Bel'veth (there was a good Xin angle and it was left open??).

[@zero2champion419]

Bel'veth seemed literally useless the entire game, did he do ANYTHING?

G2 easy throw, no armour pen and constant solo man dives into a meatgrinder. This just cements what EU fans worried about, G2 cannot carry an early game lead into a win

[@lordpaulphilippfernandez9904]

Played so well? Game 1 Caps's biggest contribution is solo-killing Faker, and even then the latter somehow got 8 kills despite going 0/2.

[@Lorokun]

Poppy was poppin early - mid. Gets melted by varus , kalista and ahri in the late game. They weren't able to setup an engage with zac becuz t1 knows from game 3. And that's why i see them separating zac or engaging before zac comes in first. Belveth was kind of useless unless he melts ksante or lee sin. But fighting the other three is difficult. Even follow up for belveth is difficult since T1 comp was so mobile. Taliyah would work for g2 if they had focused on vision and setup for zac engage early on.

[@pulsaltinglynx3627]

Today, I want to honor g2. They managed to completely target the bottom of t1, which seemed like they couldn't beat. This is a paradigm shift. With the wide range of picks and the superiority of mechanics, t1 has always won, but they couldn't control the eerie wildness that g2 brought today. Today, G2 solved the difficult situation with proper counter-avoidance and mikyx's decisive clutch play, and in an easier situation, they never let down their visibility and object pressure, bringing a lot of difficulty to t1. As a result of G2's intelligent and anomalous tactics, t1 eventually had to pull out a superhuman play that came out of themselves at the moment of crisis as well. We've always wanted a game like this. They're all monsters.

I don't understand how teams still don't understand that Ksante is literally the most broken champ in the game. Nothing else matters, ahri could have gone 0-20, jinx could have gone 20-0, and T1 would still win bc they got Ksante. The champ makes everything else irrelevant, it is literally a 1v9 champ. Please learn. PICK OR AT LEAST BAN KSANTE EVERY GAME OR ELSE YOU LOSE.

​@@stephanschoonwater1481 i think they'd prio faker since he has the most mobility and opt to that was more attckspd, and to protect i guess the poppy being there and zac as a frontliner. thats why they didn't think about zeus since his scaling throughout the game was mr. yeah they clowned it, i thought hans sama could flip it up too :>

[@Leogos281]

Nobody claims that, he really isn't, since Rogue he hasn't been on top EU level, Upset, Carzzy and Flakked are way better people to have, Upset (someone who can compete on meta picks), Carzzy giga gamble and agressive lane (budget JKL/Meiko), Flakked huge champ pool and solid performance on every meta pick but maybe no high highs but still a lot left in him. Honestly Mikyx BB and Caps are a solid core, JG and ADC need to be replaced, ppl think Yike is good but in reality he is just Bo from aliexpress and all "brain" plays are coming from G2 amazing Staff, any top jungler can execute this, and the issue is his "hands" haven't transitioned well from EUM to LEC, as soon as he plays against someone better or equally good he no longer has hands, this is why I say Bo if integrated properly would be the best jg they could get cuz he is just Yike but better, only issue would be comms but idk Yike doesn't seem like a comm carry so yea.
