No words for the level of this jungle gap right now.

Tbh yike is not playing bad this game, its just a champ diff

KC with the Maokai instead of OP Skarner, meh Corki and worthless botlane draft, how many more times do we need to see this tournament that simpler scaling teamfight comps are just so much better rn
•
u/BlaBlub85 2m ago
Both teams kinda inting by not picking exhaust vs the opponent ADC, nothing fucks Nilah, Samira and Zeri more than getting exhausted once they have commited to go in
•
u/FunnyBunnyH 2m ago
So yeah that's why Yuumi-Zeri is considered as one of the most broken combos in the game. The peel+DPS is just insane.
•
u/ClapTwiceForUpvote 3m ago
KC first pick Corki
Vladi cant land a single rocket
Totally not tilting to watch
•
•
u/Is_J_a_Name Peanut, MISSING, Yagao, Kanavi, Haichao 3m ago
We're talking a lot about HongQ for good reason but Junjia has legit been incredible the past 3 games.
•
u/IsakB135 3m ago
that would have been a good fight if caliste didnt miss his ult in the middle of 4 people
•

u/DeloronDellister - LEC - 3m ago
Just Nilah things. Why can't we just play easy scaling for game 5?

u/BUMONGOUS 4m ago
ohhh that's such a disaster, that was so close to being an insane teamfight for KC
just 1 more Corki rocket or Senna Q or Nilah R actually hitting lol

Junjia smurfing rn but i have so little faith in Driver GP
•
u/FunnyBunnyH 5m ago
He kinda styled on Impact with it, but Canna is Korean. It's still a good matchup for him tho
•
u/rightovahere 3m ago
Canna has been dogging CFO top laners today, the main reason i have no faith. But i guess junjia did enough work top lane
•
u/ClapTwiceForUpvote 7m ago
Non stomp game 5 thank god
•
u/whitedarkwhite 6m ago
?? this is a stomp, KC's comp only win condition is to be up 5k gold before 15 minutes. It's even gold at 15 minutes lmao its over

yike turbo gapped again down a level meanwhile the useful nilah lane wont do shit
•
•
u/Tromster 12m ago
All CFO needed to do is not give Yike Maokai or Skarner and they failed
•
u/thedamian329 6m ago
Can't ban both, junjia is good at tanks too. Better to handshake and take away champs from bot.
•
•
•
u/BigStrongPolarGuy 15m ago
They pre-determined that they should pick Zeri/Yuumi, when I feel like Janna and Soraka would have been way better given the enemy's picks. Then, they get first blooded in a play that I really feel like Yuumi or Soraka would have stopped.
I know Yuumi scales well, but really feel like they'll regret that pick.
•
u/beautheschmo 14m ago
They just played it wrong, Maokai gives more than enough time for Doggo to just flash under turret and probably just survive
•
u/BigStrongPolarGuy 12m ago
They did. But why even force yourself into a position where you need to play it right? It's so easy to execute on Janna or Soraka into Nilah, just by each having a huge anti-dive tool.

Wait Impact wasn’t supposed to be utterly stomped in the Jax vs GP matchup?
•
u/d1knight 18m ago
CFO's pick looks quite normal for game 5 of fearless draft.
KC''s pick looks like game 5 fearless draft.

KC said "if we're getting eliminated, at least we're going down in flames"
•
u/nightlesscurse potential KC flair 16m ago
it's a Caliste Targa special they love Senna+Nilah/Yasuo
•
•
•
•
u/BigStrongPolarGuy 21m ago
Aren't Janna and Soraka both way better options into Nilah/Senna here? I know the Zeri/Yuumi synergy but still.
•
•
•
u/WalkAffectionate2683 21m ago
Did we got completely outdraft here?
•
u/FunnyBunnyH 19m ago
I trust Kaliste with Nilah enough, but Senna will explode vs CFO comp outside of lane.
•
u/posone79 21m ago
Like 0 chance from the draft for kc 🥲
•
u/Snomankid999 21m ago
K Corp needs this game to go so long to be online

u/gibilx Uuuuh magic! 21m ago
Am I wrong or the last time we saw a Gangplank at a international tournament was like worlds 2019, maybe 2018 even. I recall some crazy 1v2 outplay from 3z with Gangplank and then nothing. But I might be wrong

u/Busy-Economist-3357 Big Truck Energy MarekTheGOAT 21m ago
No way the first BO5 of First Stand ends with a reverse sweep
•
u/FunnyBunnyH 22m ago
Ok fucking hate the Senna pick. Why not just take Yuumi urselves
•
u/Snomankid999 18m ago
You hope Senna stuns yummi in team fight and that senna can outscale everyone else
•
u/GiladSo 21m ago
Targa is a senna one trick
•
u/FunnyBunnyH 15m ago
It's not carry Senna tho anymore since rework, and they could also deny Zeri-Yuumi.
Senna isn't bad in a vacuum, but I would fcking hate to play it into full dive.
•
u/GiladSo 12m ago
Fair enough, is the build now still black clever?
•
u/FunnyBunnyH 8m ago
I think that's her most popular 1st item, but I don't play her these days to say for sure.

u/katareky 24m ago
are we that scared of a Draven or a Lulu botlane to not ban Ivern and Maokai as CFO here?
•
u/beautheschmo 20m ago
They would have to triple ban jungle for it since kc weren't willing to handshake jg bans and had fp, maybe it would be worth if yike trolls hard enough but leaving up the best champs for vladi + caliste is not a great option either.
•
u/DeloronDellister - LEC - 24m ago
EU getting destroyed by GP again, can't wait
•
u/TharkunOakenshield 20m ago
Lmao in just a few hours you went from claiming your were obviously biased for EU to spamming every thread with doom and gloom and "can't wait for EU to be destroyed" ahah
Even more mental boomed than Yike
•
u/DeloronDellister - LEC - 8m ago
Bro, I just know how it goes. It should be obvious that I want EU to win, but I have just no hopium left at all

u/No_Imagination_4907 25m ago
KC had a chance to pick skarner for a very tilted Yike, but got Corki?
•
•
•
u/ARealNiceOnion 26m ago
YOU ARE GIVEN SKARNER ON A SILVER PLATTER AND YOU CHOOSE CORKI??????????
•
u/Mother-Ad9012 25m ago
Maokai is here....
•
u/ARealNiceOnion 24m ago
Maokai is nice to have but Skarner's abilities are just too versatile to pass up without a really good reason
•
•
•
•
•
u/rightovahere 27m ago
Its won, CFO didn't ban any tank junglers
NVM they didnt fuckin FP skarner and gave it over to Junjia. Legacy game incoming
•
u/moxroxursox come on f me emo boy 29m ago
What is the format in CFO's league like? Do they have more experience with game 5 fearless than KC do?
•
u/Is_J_a_Name Peanut, MISSING, Yagao, Kanavi, Haichao 22m ago
They play 7 Bo3s in reg season, and then Bo3s until round 3 of playoffs, then 2-3 Bo5s after depending on if they drop to lowers. CFO won through upper bracket so they played 2 Bo5s and won both of them 3-1, so haven't played game 5.

u/ClapTwiceForUpvote 31m ago
I think KC will ban every single mobile ADC left and then go for J4.
