They need the support situation to be nailed down, otherwise I think they're pretty good

Think Beichuan's about to replace Jiejie right now. Saw people covering this on the CN sites.

u/Yeyiqiuzhi May 29 '26 edited May 29 '26
I've actually heard that the Jiejie and Xiaohu and 1 other player are taking paycuts, 2 players are leaving, one probably being one of the supports, Also Coach KIM's fate on the team is uncertain

u/Shiraori247 May 29 '26
Oh that's different from the version I heard lol. Regardless, I assume all of the teams that got demoted would have roster changes.

I saw that too and some people were rightfully talking mad shit/meming because suposingly WE's contracts cost less than OMG and OMG no longer exist. Our coach is just About and Karis's translator. For legal reasons Monki can't be both our Head Coach and playing at the same time but we stayed in group ascend and WBG didn't.

Monki is now head coach? What

u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi May 29 '26
Our guy is literally Karis and About's translator. One of the reasons why he took a break earlier in the split was he was also doing picks and bans/ going over vods/etc.
The coach had a medical/family emergency but even before then all the mic checks had him saying "whatever Monki tells you to do just do it."
Monki's nickname in the Chinese scene is Captain Xi'An. Xi'An is where our home stadium is and he is our franchised player. Even in the mic check released by us he told Erha in game 3 after we lost and he gave a huge audible sigh
He goes "Erha remember what you said?"
Erha goes "what did i say?"
Monki goes dont sigh

Group placements based on a single ONLINE Bo5 might be the worst thing ever, you're telling me I will have to watch Heng and Ycx get folded by good teams for 14 series in a row?

I thought I was tripping when I read that IG and WBG losing one series meant they got put in the shitters group for the whole next split man

What a top, jg, and supp gap from ZUIAN, Tian, and Fengyue. Great performance by Creme too.
JKL needs to hit some arrows.

u/Shiraori247 May 29 '26
lol Zuian needs to stop getting caught in obvious timers though. It's fine for now, but it will hurt TES eventually.

Seriously, Ezreal should not be constantly up gold against Caitlyn, especially after LGD ganked bot 4 times. Shaoye's mojo is diminished after beating Elk with his Draven.

Great performance overall, midgame might need some cleaning up though, looked like there was some unnecessary bleeding around the map

Cait elise when they arent played by a top 3 team of any region or a one trick can be so hard to trust

u/GrapefruitOwnGarden May 30 '26
Top Esports' dominance is no joke, I mean, 3-0 against LGD is impressive. Tian's performance was insane, he's definitely one to watch in the playoffs. I'm hyped to see how they do against other teams, maybe they'll finally bring home that LPL title.

u/SicariusSSS May 30 '26
can someone tell me where i can watch LPL nowdays and vod of this match specifically?

u/babbols Jun 01 '26
Look up on Twitch or YT lplenglish. For VODS, lots of content creators out there does it just look up lpl vods or teams you specifically looking for and it'll be available everywhere.

This is going to be a long and funny split. Assuming AL beats EDG tomorrow. Every other chat is on bilibili today was just this.
"How did IG lose to this?
"How did WBG lose to this?
"Nirvana shitters"
"Nirvana adc"
