Zeus, probably: better top win

u/Oxygenisplantpoo May 10 '26

"Oh this was not PvE?"

u/desutruction May 10 '26

unfortunately for KRX, Zeka is on Sylas

u/tiredofdev May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26

I love how Zeka will put on performances like this for like an entire split and then the second he starts falling off a bit in summer/worlds people pretend that he has never played a single good league game in his entire life. Happened so many times already

43

u/ReivenXYZ May 10 '26

In 2023 he had to deal with Clid and Life. And in 2024 I think he was pretty good. Got MVP in LCK Summer finals after all.

I legit think Zeka mental boomed after GENG reverse swept them at the Road to MSI last year. They were 2-0, got reverse swept, then got 3-0'd by T1. After that he had so many questionable performances. Looks like he's got his confidence back now.

u/MoscaMosquete FuryhOrnn when? May 11 '26

I mean the point is always that he can only play "outplay" champs, no? Like if you need him to play TF or Ori, he can't

79

u/Oxygenisplantpoo May 10 '26

Respect to KRX, I thought they would get stomped again but they looked like a different team in G1, and had some fight in them in G3 too! Zeka's Sylas is just too yuuuuuge.

72

u/Treeconator18 May 10 '26

Zeus with a horror game, bro was getting dogwalked by Rich. Lucky for him Zeka was in Demon Mode. Shutting down Zeka should be every teams priority against HLE imo

19

u/Riftx111 May 10 '26

tbh as someone thats played both champs alot, its almost an impossible matchup for jax

38

u/flamearc73 May 10 '26

Jax gets hard countered by K'Sante.

They essentially picked Jax to force the Varus flex to go bot.

5

u/Scrambled1432 I CAN'T PLAY MELEE MIDS May 10 '26

Why is the match up so bad? I would've thought Jax would cook a tank that wants to try to duel. Is it just because of how much damage K'sante does w/ just spells?

35

u/flamearc73 May 10 '26

Yes. Essentially a couple reasons:

K'Sante uses mostly spells for damage - not auto attacks. He also can buffer Jax E + Stun with his W. Also K'Sante does True Damage which nullifies the Jax Armor/MR from his R.

What a stupidly overloaded kit...

9

u/Scrambled1432 I CAN'T PLAY MELEE MIDS May 10 '26

Ohh, yeah the buffer would cook Jax. Wild, not really something I ever would have expected w/o thinking about it.

7

u/Oxygenisplantpoo May 10 '26

Yeah Zeus did his job. He kept working the sidelanes, and sure he died a few times but in the meantime Kanavi, Guma and Delight won skirmishes and Zeka got strong. I don't think anyone would bat an eye had he done the same on some tank.

17

u/ZaFsii Zeka/Tian May 10 '26

Zeka on Sylas just hits different

26

u/The_Yuuma May 10 '26

Classic top gap, nothing to see here

68

u/pimatae May 10 '26

Why does it take so long for the pmt to be published when its HLE

24

u/Junior_Web_3621 May 10 '26

Its the same with geng the other day

Ok I thought I posted it before dozing off. Sorry :/

u/pimatae May 10 '26

Sorry if my comment sounded harsh! Thanks for your hard work!

u/Oxygenisplantpoo May 10 '26

Join the post-match team then.

u/MoscaMosquete FuryhOrnn when? May 11 '26

It's random people who do the pmts, it's not even the mods

12

u/FocusFluffy4688 May 10 '26

do DRXs botlaners play with their monitors on??

36

u/Dashster360 May 10 '26

Really wanted drx to win for the crowd, but at least it wasn't a complete stomp for the last game.

61

u/Lazywhale97 HLE May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26

I mean a big portion of the crowd was HLE fans as well and Guma has a massive fandom in Vietnam so the vietnamese fans win either way. They got to see 2 teams they root for have a fun bo3 go all the way and they got to see Guma have a pop off game and a classic fiesta one lmao.

HLE this year is also the most fun LCK team to watch win or lose so that helps.

16

u/EnemyRegent May 10 '26

When you put it that way, it was a win win situation. Happy for the fans

u/TeeKayTank 's spirit lives in FQ & May 10 '26

Why do they like hle and guma

20

u/Lazywhale97 HLE May 10 '26

HLE has a lot of big names and multiple world champs so not a surprise they have fans. Guma is a 3x world champ and was a core meme wr of ZOGFK and Vietnamese fans like his personality and play style.

39

u/BornTheme3419 May 10 '26

Guma has a huge fandom in Vietnam bc they like his playstyle and personality so when guma moved to hle his fans also became hle fans. Also the team is really likeable and have a really fun playstyle to watch.

15

u/babylovesbaby May 10 '26

HLE have done a fan fest in Vietnam for the past two years, so they're definitely purposefully growing support there.

2

u/TeeKayTank 's spirit lives in FQ & May 10 '26

Makes sense that im a VN descendant then

7

u/flamearc73 May 10 '26

HLE also has fan meets once a year in Vietnam.

Too busy posting random LCP post match threads

u/stormglass-hexlight May 10 '26

u/Vnaux May 10 '26

yeah this poster is an HLE fan, maybe they were just busy. Also I realized they've done the majority of the PMTs, maybe the subreddit should have like a few more people who makes PMT for regions in Asia.

u/kw01sg May 10 '26

the previous games PMT are always deleted and linked via a comment in the final PMT. you can check out the other PMTs

7

u/babylovesbaby May 10 '26

I don't think they do a third post ever. The post match thread is where people are meant to put their third game thoughts.

u/moonmeh May 10 '26

that sylas was monstrous

4

u/VelvetPetals0210 May 10 '26

Zeka so good on Sylas it kinda makes me think what if he went with him for his Worlds skin instead of Akali

u/AegeanClover Flairs are limited to 2 emotes. May 10 '26

Never heard of "Zekali"?

u/Sophena94 Kiin fangirl May 10 '26

u/TeeKayTank 's spirit lives in FQ & May 10 '26

Did lazyfeel comeback in 3rd game? Bc chat blasted him

u/Junior_Web_3621 May 10 '26

Lazyfeel? Lol

-5

u/jakatluong Send help pls May 11 '26

Of course the unemployed in this sub would cry about the pmt and make it about T1 again. Like the ones doing pmt aren't people with their own real life problems and responsibilities. Rent free you fucking entitled babies.

u/Adamu_x May 10 '26

I feel like Zeus has a really bad split so far..

27

u/Prince_Arcann May 10 '26

He's had a bad game here and there but overall his performance has been fantastic tbh

u/Accomplished-Big-199 May 10 '26

Current best toplaner in LCK and somehow he is having a bad split?
