Doublelift thinks he is in the same level as FNC and G2 LMFAO DELUDED AF

[@bonzwah1]

Well he did think tl was better than fnc. But he never claimed to be at the same level as g2, just near them. Idk, i still think dl is wrong, but what hes actually claiming isnt as ridiculous as you make it out to be. They did honestly seemed on par with fnc in their game

[@CURR1EGAMING]

bonzwah1 well said, I’m from NA and a huge TL fan and I agree you’d have to be delusional to this our team as a whole are on the same level as an FNC or a G2. But I do believe we deserve more respect than we get, the way perkz was almost talking down to doublelift in this interview seemed a bit salty to me. Doublelift as a player is in my opinion the best bot lane player of the three teams mentioned, TL just needs to work on their solo lane play and closing the skill gap in those roles as it is still quite large

[@christiantune]

@@CURR1EGAMING hope u mean TL/TSM/C9 cuz DL is not among the best between the EU teams tho.

[@matseigel1622]

@@bonzwah1 your not wrong but we cant ignore the fact that fnc subbed out their best performing player to give their sub some gametime who literally never played a game in the LEC before. If they had broxah, who knows how those 2 first ganks work out. Could be another 20min game not gonna lie.

I get that you always have to be confident but how can you stay confident after u lost against fnatic without broxah.

[@joeybrez1]

I think this was recorded before yesterday's match

[@brandoniannn]

To be fair bo1's dont always paint a clear picture but it definitely looks far in favor of FNC/G2 given the continued dominance.

[@kurstenfullington3565]

If you start to belittle your skill just because you know someone is better than you, you'll never beat them. Gotta try to stay confident otherwise you'll probably just don't even try. So I applaud DL's confidence even tho it's not justifiable by any facts. It's kinda like fighting depression and stress. If you alway doubt yourself and succumb to all the hard facts of reality without trying and optistism you might not ever break the cycle and stay stagnant.

[@teodorgeorgievski1148]

@@brandoniannn Yes b01 doesnt proove anything, but TL is lucky it wasnt b05 cause Fnatic might even play that one serious just to brake the G2 vs TL fastest b05 record...

@@teodorgeorgievski1148 tbf if Fnatic plays the same style as a TL they are just a better version of them . Every single position in Fnatic is like an upgrade over TL.

[@kurstenfullington3565]

He couldn't even look him in the eye while saying it. I think it's just a comment to give them hope. If they play like how we feel they'll lose even harder because they won't even try. SO i won't call it delusional, I'll call it a mantra to keep up their fighting spirits.

[@alexiosava6106]

"maybe fnatic " :DDDD come on DL

[@FreeziingFlame]

as an EU fan this video obviously aged PERFECTLY. you gotta respect that DL thinks highly of himself, but honestly when you compare him to the legend perkz himself, he might as well kneel down to him and admit he stands NO chance at all. at this point in time its like comparing faker to huni

Its not "mechanics" or anything to do with skill that seperates Perkz from most, its the agressive mentality, and no it cant be taught youve either got that mindset or not. JESUS.

[@Skittle_Kitten]

I think NA should use this as the best skrim session going into world, the meta has shifted they should use this event to try thing against it, when TL brought out Sona Taric again... pff get out of you comfort zone. I dont know about the skill gap but for sure EU is ahead on everything else.

[@KACE_BLUE]

nah the main difference is the skill and its so insanly big. na teams fall so far behind in lane already it feels like chally vs dia. they dont apply lane pressure. games were over before midgame even started.

Like DL is straight saying OG is far worse than them with 0 proofs and would love to hear him after OG smashes them. He isnt even putting FNC above them after yesterday thay got destroyed by them with the academy jungler(broxah is also the best player in FNC now)

[@Mordokaj-zs7ni]

Perkz is on another level

[@SuperMLeonardo]

Perkz is wrong the skill gap is between the junglers. EU is much better imo. Also NA for sure needs to work on their split push setups and map movement and the skill gap would probably seem negligible. No doubt EU is the much better region right now. NA should throw some money at EU coaches and support staff and try to get them to come over.
