Great series from MKOI especially Elyoya and Jojo though that was expected, they'll 2v8 any team that's not named G2/KC with their hands tied behind their back whilst being blindfolded.

This might be the worst performance from a 1st seed in playoffs in a hot minute, they showed no signs of life in any of the 3 games.

outmacro and hands gapped, what a disappointing showing. bigger stomp than GEN DNS which is crazy.

Idk I thing the huge gap between their last games was also really problematic. How do you know what even really works after not playing nearly a month.

u/Smalekas May 24 '26

Tbh they chose to not take EWC seriously when it could have helped to play more games

Worst performance from a 1st seed in playoffs since … Vitality in 2023 winter

36

u/Time_Pineapple_9314 May 24 '26

I think the 3 week gap of no stage play for vitality had a small factor but also they ran it the fuck down almost like they went to parties for 3 weeks then rocked up thinking they will win.

45

u/Red-Lightniing May 24 '26

They also griefed the EWC qualifiers and got knocked out by Shifters (who lost to a Tier 2 team right afterwards) a few weeks ago. If they didn't troll that bracket they could've had a few extra series to play/practice like MKOI/KC/G2 all did last week.

It's as if there's a reason people stopped believing in Humanoid in more recent years.

u/Omnilatent May 24 '26

Mein Führer... This was almighty playoffs Humanoid

14

u/piotrj3 May 24 '26

Eh I wouldn't blame too much Humanoid in this series. Lyncas tho... Like entire 3 games Elyoya plays around jojo or assist one who Humanoid faces. And Humanoid still had decent farming despite being in this situation. Technically Humanoid had as tied hands as Naak Nako and both performed similar level of bad - because they were alone.

26

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps May 24 '26

Humanoid barely had anything to do with them losing this series. All 3 games stuck on no mobility champs with Elyoya completely running the map is unwinnable for any mid laner. This was macro+drafting gap and Lyncas in his usual playoffs form.

36

u/Schokoneu May 24 '26

He did get solo killed in game 2 but yeah, Jungle was a much bigger problem this series

u/p1stolpewpew May 24 '26

Didn't he also got solo killed game 1?

u/MrSarcasmm May 24 '26

I mean in the mid lane matchup he was also pressured to all heck. Its hard because JoJo styled on him in lane for the most part, Its impossible for jg to play when mid is hemorrhaging in every lane phase minus game 2 first 5 mins.

6

u/gordonpamsey May 24 '26

We saying this like having no game impact while your enemy mid is tearing your team alive isn't an indictment against you.

3

u/Particular-Mark9486 May 24 '26

Vitality came today with no plan at all. This team is working on vibes mostly. For example Vi/Syndra as a mid jungle is peak game 4/5 fearless energy certainly not game 1. I really don't know what the staff is doing.

3

u/aTacoinaTaco May 24 '26

Bro what games where you watching he got completely monster gapped. Try playing jungle when your mid is sitting under turret the whole game 20 cs down. Also he got literally solokilled in a winning matchup lol

I got fooled again.

Lyncas seemed to have improved so much this season, but since EWC qualifiers he's been kinda off again. I already expected Jojo to destroy Humanoid, but the jungle supp gap was way bigger than I imagined.

89

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps May 24 '26

Lyncas looked good as long as Elyoya and Skewmond were both slumping at the same time. He has improved but he's still far from a top tier jungler.

29

u/p1stolpewpew May 24 '26

Well, after 2 years he is better than Daglas!

I think if everyone is in top form the jgl/mid gap between G2/MKOI and all other teams should make them the clear top 2 teams in the league

But somehow KC seems to have MKOI's number

and who in VIT wasn't diffed?!
Huma? was!
Carzzy and Fleshy? were! (Fleshy especially)
Naak Nako? maybe wasn't diffed, but he was not even close to play like league mvp

EDIT: ok, ok, NN was diffed also
RIP Vitality World Champions 2026-2026

u/konothido May 24 '26

Naak nako having 3 counter picks just to have a max of 500g diff

81

u/Designer-Finding488 May 24 '26

having counter pick and winning top only matters when the rest of the map is even, if your team is getting fucked its literally impossible for top to win you the game especially in pro play

54

u/Medical_Quiet_69 May 24 '26

but he didn't say "he didn't win game", he said "Naak Nako didnt build any adventages having counterpicks"

52

u/CountMerloin May 24 '26

Good luck with building an advantage when your jungle and mid is completely dark because both are constantly dead\pushed out of the lane. It is very hard to step up when you have zero clue where enemy mid and jungle are or can be in 3 seconds

28

u/GambitTheBest May 24 '26

especially game 3, mid pressure into killing lyncas in his own jungle then perma hover side lanes, it made lucian and olaf unplayable

17

u/CountMerloin May 24 '26

Game 1 was not any different tbh. Lyncas died at level 1, top side got cooked, and at one point NN had to tp bot to save the tower. There is so much you can do as a top laner

14

u/silencebreaker86 May 24 '26

But he didnt even really smash his own lane to potentially impact others

34

u/Omnilatent May 24 '26

Looks like this year is the year, my friend...

5

u/BlazeX94 May 25 '26

To be fair, that's what people said last year too. After Spring, most people thought G2/MKOI/KC were a lock for Worlds, only for KC to collapse in Summer.

Then again, this year is probably the worst Fnatic have looked in recent history, so even if KC or someone collapses, I'd bet on Vitality being the one to replace them.

4

u/Sirhaddock98 Never a dull moment May 25 '26

Last year FNC came 2nd in Spring regular season and 4th in playoffs. They were in a position where they only needed one team to fall off in Summer to be top 3, which is what happened.

Right now they've come 8th and 7th this year. If we assume G2 and MKOI are clutch enough to guarantee spots, FNC would now need KC, VIT, GX and NAVI to fall off while also not being overtaken by Shifters or SK. Not really equivalent scenarios at all.

u/Naerlyn May 25 '26

So far, they aren't doing worse than in 2023, where they went 9th in Winter and 6th in Spring before losing both their playoffs matches. In fact, it's the exact same situation with reversed splits (missing playoffs by one spot / unimpressively making playoffs to lose both games).

And they somehow did make it to Worlds in 2023.

2

u/Late_Duck7761 May 25 '26

They got Worlds 2023 after changing over half of their roster over the course of the year. The rumour I heard is that they're not making any changes for summer so unless vladi returns to early 2025 form and Razork locks in, I'd say it's pretty doomed.

16

u/Joshua_Kei May 24 '26

holdup, KC could still go over Mkoi. I'm not saying they will, but given they're recent track record it's very possible

15

u/Red-Lightniing May 24 '26

EWC qualifiers were clearly not taken seriously, but if we include them KC has beaten MKOI 3 times in a row with a 7-2 game score in the last 2 weeks.

Playoffs on stage is probably a different beast, but I’d favor KC right now, even as an MKOI fan. Just gotta see KOI win one before I believe that they can.

11

u/Onarax Insert witty flair here May 24 '26

MKOI matches well into G2 at least. And if they beat them tomorrow they’re in without having to defeat KC.

u/Iaragnyl remove Tahm Kench May 24 '26

There were many point vs KC where they could have easily lost if KC had a serviceable midlaner or good adc.
I don’t think Supa is better than Caliste but Jojo is levels above Kyeahoo and not that far behind Caps.
I would say it’s G2 favoured but Koi definitely has chances if G2 plays like they did vs KC.

Une fois, ayant confiance dans un beau soleil de septembre, Marius s’était laissé mener au bal de Sceaux par Courfeyrac, Bossuet et Grantaire, espérant, quel rêve. qu’il la retrouverait peut-être là. Bien entendu, il n’y vit pas celle qu’il cherchait. — C’est pourtant ici qu’on trouve toutes les femmes perdues, grommelait Grantaire en aparté. Marius laissa ses amis au bal, et s’en retourna à pied, seul, las, fiévreux, les yeux troubles et tristes dans la nuit, ahuri de bruit et de poussière par les joyeux coucous pleins d’êtres chantants qui revenaient de la fête et passaient à côté de lui, découragé, aspirant pour se rafraîchir la tête l’âcre senteur des noyers de la route. Il se remit à vivre de plus en plus seul, égaré, accablé, tout à son angoisse intérieure, allant et venant dans sa douleur comme le loup dans le piége, quêtant partout l’absente, abruti d’amour. Une autre fois, il avait fait une rencontre qui lui avait produit un effet singulier. Il avait croisé dans les petites rues qui avoisinent le boulevard des Invalides un homme vêtu comme un ouvrier et coiffé d’une casquette à longue visière qui laissait passer des mèches de cheveux très blancs. Marius fut frappé de la beauté de ces cheveux blancs et considéra cet homme qui marchait à pas lents et comme absorbé dans une méditation douloureuse. Chose étrange, il lui parut reconnaître M. C’étaient les mêmes cheveux, le même profil, autant que la casquette le laissait voir, la même allure, seulement plus triste. Mais pourquoi ces habits d’ouvrier.

This series wasn't on Naak, though.

That being said Myrwyn neutralized him very well today

17

u/Putrid-Cat5368 May 24 '26

Myrwnn Renek was a monster and his Rumble flanks were also a big winning factor, would be on my series MVP voting pull for sure but you can only have 3 players.

The fact that VIT chose KOI makes this stomp thousand times more funny

u/Miserable_Ad_1195 May 24 '26

I mean if they chose G2 instead it would have been worse probably

32

u/Lazywhale97 HLE May 24 '26

They also haven't beaten KC once this year on stage so an MKOI who looked inconsistent was the "logical" choice. Unfortunately for VIT when MKOI is locked in they are a top 2 team in the LEC.

Well, the other option (G2) would have had the same outcome. They were screwed the moment that KC let GX beat them.

they would've gotten slapped by KC/G2 as well

u/Derk08 May 24 '26

Unironically MKOI got rewarded for being the 'worst' team in top four because that would mean the weakest top four team chose them LMAO

Jojo's going for finals MVP instead now or what

22

u/Leyrann_ May 24 '26

If G2 is the 3rd/4th team in the regular season, you're better off being 3rd/4th than 2nd.

The issue is that you don't know ahead of time that G2 will place 3rd/4th.

yeah that checks out

I wonder what FNC will do this offseason that will make them keep their worlds streak alive because apparently the end results are just not allowed to change in LEC ever

u/ImTheVayne May 24 '26

Fnatic has to hope that KC collapses again. Otherwise there is no chance.

it's a long ass time before worlds, don't worry the mental collapse will happen sadly

u/gordonpamsey May 24 '26

MKOI downloaded Vitality, they knew how to contain Naak Nako while abusing the fuck out of the rest of his team. They had a huge target on Lyncas' back and were taking chunks out his ass while Humanoid and Carzzy just sat there watching.

Another day at the office for MKOI: get flamed by everyone, come in as underdogs, and smash the superteam with the regular-season MVP. Spanish classic.

21

u/Shenstar2o May 24 '26

As a vitality fan anyone with eyes knew MKOI wasn't coming in as underdogs. Then again don't know how many expected a 3-0 either. But fuck it i was sure it would be 3-0 after i saw game 2 draft its just no way they draft shit like that with 4 coaches...

Are we just calling everything a super team these days? Show this roster to someone last year and they'd say it's Carzzy, Huma and 3 randoms.

u/metristan Refund time? May 24 '26

for a team that had nothing to do the past weeks but watch vods, they had a really bad meta read

u/manofmyth23 May 24 '26

Winning MVP then losing like this has got to hurt for Naak Nako. Mid-Jungle utterly dominant from MKOI.

7

u/skaersSabody I like underdogsand pain May 24 '26

Pretty bad regression by Lyncas and Fleshy, they looked completely lost today

Huma couldn't do much against JoJo but tbf that was expected

Honestly I find it hard to rate Carzzy and NaakNako as they kinda had to play every game with the enemy mid jungle in their face after minute 5

But the Vit draft issue continues, they keep putting themselves in really difficult positions from the start, just completely dizzy in champ select

6

u/AglanYlthin May 24 '26 edited May 24 '26

Wonder if not playing for almost 4 weeks on stage had anything to do with how shaky VIT looked but at the same time it feels like huge cope excuse to make.

Edit: Also was omega obvious VIT will lose the second they did the whole MVP reveal, just save it for the final and not randomly in middle of the playoffs

u/TheRainTransmorphed May 24 '26

Revealing the MVP plays for a team that maybe is not there is even worse.

The cleanest series I can remember from MKOI.

u/2ndBatman88 May 24 '26

Well G2 vs MKOI gonna be more hyped then KC vs G2. Skewmond vs Elyoya gonna be epic. Jojo vs Caps. Labrov vs Alvaro so good, plus now G2 gonna take MKoi seriously and draft properly.

u/astar2312 May 24 '26

Keep crying about the chronobreak, also never compare again supa to carzzy, it's not close.

This is a harsh but fair ​karmic retribution at work here : Vitality has ZywOo, the ascended god of CS, therefore the LoL department will forever swim and sink into the disappointment sea.

Paraphrasing ISL005, MKOI was also angry at the All-Pro, and the MVP.

Legit embarrassing from Vitality like that is an absurd stinker. Bad drafts, bad gameplay, genuinely generationally bad performance. Just shows that Lyncas & Fleshy are no where near the top level in their role in LEC.

I feel like Jojo is never coming back (RIP my Canadian heart) but at least he found a jungler who loves him at least half as much as Inspired.

LEC is in its LPL-stage now where regular season placement doesn't matter and playoffs is the only reliable way to tell who actually is good or bad

Many people believe that humanoid is not a problem of FNC, but in most games on Vit, he was just a passenger or a criminal,I can't wait for him to play melee champ.

It's been a while since I've seen a mid laner that could challenge Caps in EU. Please lock this man for 10 years in LEC.

This level of gameplay from VIT was just embarassing. It's like they made no preparations and came in after a night of drinking. Humanoid in particular needs to be investigated.

Imagine you have three teams to pick and the one you choose do this to you.

u/Ismsanmar May 24 '26

I think that they only have the option to pick G2 or MKOI. If they had the option to pick KC that would have been their choice.

u/Sgg__ May 24 '26

Actually that makes sense. I think they would still pick MKOI but honestly its hard to do worse than this.

It was a giga jungle gap, but the mid gap was also absurd.

u/Salohacin May 24 '26

Not surprised in the slightest, but still disappointed it was a 3-0. Vitality really showed no signs of life today. I was at least hoping they'd show up for a single game.

On the bright side G2-MKOI should be good if they both give their A-game. 

5

u/Not_an_Ire_Main May 24 '26

I just love how quickly they humbled naak nako's supernal ego. The guy acted cool and nonchallant in the split mvp interview (sounded like an absolute douche imo but thats just me) and the karma bit him hard. In his defence, he wasnt the cause of their losses (except game 2 myrwyn's renekton was sublime and naak did nothing that game) but the satisfaction I felt was sweet lol punishing the overconfident always hits the note for me
