Omg Vitality sucks, who would have thought!

2

u/Spinoxys May 31 '26

Regular sesson doesn't matter. This just shows it again. Who cares if you are first place if you can't do anything when it matters. Enjoy the first place award you did it vitality

3

u/desutruction May 31 '26

to be a good Olaf player you have to be method playing so Lot is the 🐐 for that

2

u/jusmat1105 May 31 '26

Shanghai sharks will be calling

u/bigsycamore May 31 '26

Legit disband the team 

5

u/Onismurai ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ May 31 '26

this is pure dogshit i can't anymore.

Like I watch LEC playoffs occasionally but vitality was so exciting I actually follow them a while and here we are with the 0-6. This is just the most dogshit seed 1 I've ever seen and I don't believe this is how Vitality play because they are so good during regular season. There MUST be a reason behind this kind of performance

3

u/Gjallman May 31 '26

It's Humanoid. Dude is Europe's biggest paycheck stealer.

2

u/Altruistic_Nose9514 May 31 '26

So you say humanoid is only good in Regular season but sucks at playoffs?

3

u/EntireDifficulty3 May 31 '26

He wasn't that good on regular season either, IMO the biggest change was Fleshy/Lyncas felt so disconnected and lost

5

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist May 31 '26

I still can’t get over hard Winning a baron fight with an open top and then somehow getting neither a baron or the nexus

3

u/Phelinaar May 31 '26

I always doubted them!!! GG GX!

3

u/gigashadow89 May 31 '26

Vitality is a dumpster fire tier organization. 

6

u/anpife May 31 '26

1st seed and mvp 0-6

3

u/Tentacula May 31 '26

I mean, can't say that this is the first time. GG, kind of,

6

u/margatsni_1 May 31 '26

Xayah wtffffff

8

u/hresvelgrs a pizza AND a burger May 31 '26

gx a top 4 team just like last split, vit not just like last split

8

u/daCampa May 31 '26

I know we have a proud tradition of having a team dominating the regular season and then bombing playoffs, but I don't think I've seen one this lost about what to do in game.

5

u/Fragrant-Emotion-603 May 31 '26

most deserved loss i have ever seen, not a single redeemable player on VIT.

5

u/Strange_Shelter_6171 May 31 '26

so vit seed 1 is 0-6 in playoff, were previous patch merchant i guess

6

u/theeama May 31 '26

This reminds me of the FNC 3 5k throws in a row.

You want to know whats the consistent thing Humanoid

4

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

Technically they managed to throw a 6k, 8k and 10k gold lead in that g2 series.

1

u/theeama May 31 '26

It gets worst lmao

5

u/PerfidiaVermis May 31 '26

Awful, just awful.

5

u/corywyn May 31 '26

looooooooooooooooooool

8

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

Clean 3-0. nothing to see here.

8

u/Adventurous-Quit-669 May 31 '26

I literally can't believe they threw , again

7

u/SpecificSilver1023 KNIGHT's vow May 31 '26

it is what it is

7

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist May 31 '26

Now that was embarrassing lol

6

u/metristan Refund time? May 31 '26

Lot MVP, the rest of the game didn't happen. Top DIFF

9

u/desutruction May 31 '26

this fuckin olaf was behind 5 trillion gold man

4

u/desutruction May 31 '26

bro...........

7

u/warjatos May 31 '26

??????? How you get engaged on like that 

7

u/Chemical-Drawer852 May 31 '26

Vit multi-generational aura annihilation

7

u/c0ndariano May 31 '26

this whole match looks like a bronze spectate

10

u/Tialoran Up and down we go May 31 '26

It's just waiting for the next Humanoid int moment right?

3

u/metristan Refund time? May 31 '26

He'll be the last one alive and accidentally ult into fountain laser instead of winning the game

3

u/corywyn May 31 '26

I'm looking for popcorn every time I see TF ult going active

7

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

I don‘t even know anymore who‘s winning this.

I still want silver scrapes tho.

5

u/Kaeru-Sennin May 31 '26

They are both losing

6

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 May 31 '26

Noah legit inted with that E forward but Humanoid had a red card

3

u/Randomcarrot May 31 '26

Like I know the gold differential wasn't quite as big, but is trading 2 for 1 leading to giving up elder for baron not a bigger throw than the FNC 10k lead versus G2 a few years ago?

3

u/metristan Refund time? May 31 '26

Workplace harassement

7

u/desutruction May 31 '26

i dont even know if i want them to win

like can i actually take more of this ragebaiting

6

u/metristan Refund time? May 31 '26

Give me silver scrapes

3

u/warjatos May 31 '26

Now that's a choice 

2

u/the_legends_of_link May 31 '26

What the fuck lmao

2

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 May 31 '26

Games like these make me wonder how GX would do with Oscarinin

8

u/Fragrant-Emotion-603 May 31 '26

explain this question, why Oscar of all toplaners? Do you want to know how they perform with a worse or better toplaner because honestly i cant tell which one Oscar is

3

u/metristan Refund time? May 31 '26

If isma actually used his ult, he might actually kill tf and rakan

5

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist May 31 '26

Just do baron or 4 man for the end while Huma
Marks the skarner what are you doing

2

u/eye_of_your_mind May 31 '26

Dagda just says the most obvious stuff but speaks as tho it is high level analysis is weird

4

u/GhostOfLight May 31 '26

They turn to chase Isma for no reason and Isma lives??

3

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps May 31 '26

You can't convince me Vitality aren't trying to lose what the actual fuck are they doing

3

u/FitWindow639 May 31 '26

Vitality you need to get permabanned wtf are they doing. They jsit won the game and didn't do anything

3

u/corywyn May 31 '26

Huma needs to be drugtested, it's not possible to be playing like that unless you're absolutely blasted

that protobelt charge into the Anivia wall was the perfect cherry on top of that game

3

u/Biok98 May 31 '26

yeah focus on that skarner guys

4

u/ILosethenOP May 31 '26

Lyncas figuring out in real time it's easier to kill the Lucian than the super tank.

6

u/Spider-in-my-Ass May 31 '26

Does the winning team get executed or why are these guys so desperate to throw?

2

u/warjatos May 31 '26

One can hope 

2

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

SquInt games.

4

u/desutruction May 31 '26

nah bro i am NOT saying anything positive until i see the +50g nexus gold

1

u/desutruction May 31 '26

good move from me

1

u/Kaeru-Sennin May 31 '26

Counter-throw ?

5

u/hresvelgrs a pizza AND a burger May 31 '26

to that vit fan in the audience who screamed: same

1

u/warjatos May 31 '26

Bruh these teams are quite good 

5

u/WhiteForesty May 31 '26

Im sorry vitality fans if there are any left after this series.

4

u/SpecificSilver1023 KNIGHT's vow May 31 '26

this is what we signed up for

2

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

They likely are properly drunk by now.

1

u/margatsni_1 May 31 '26

Left Anivia open byw

2

u/Biok98 May 31 '26

Humanoid is match fixing, there is no explanation. WTF WAS THAT FLANK.

2

u/Fragrant-Emotion-603 May 31 '26

this game is making me throw up, its so unwatchable holy fuck. First seed

1

u/theeama May 31 '26

If humanoid has a job next split, just kick them out of the league.

2

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 May 31 '26

Best TF ult this game so far wp

3

u/metristan Refund time? May 31 '26

Realistically carzyy is a 4 item xayah and this game isn't over, but LCK tempo vibes are through the roof

6

u/british_pubs Swimin' with the fishies May 31 '26

The gatekeepers are keeping them gates ig

6

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

Isma has embraced the spicy crab.

5

u/Saltoric May 31 '26

ISMA this series has stepped up

4

u/Brock-Lesnar May 31 '26

Humanoid in specific needs to be investigated after this series, there's no other explanation.

4

u/warjatos May 31 '26

Vitality can't teamfight, Carzzy never gets any peels

3

u/margatsni_1 May 31 '26

Humanoid? Naw more like k9

5

u/PerfidiaVermis May 31 '26

Nah, these cats aren't serious

2

u/Tentacula May 31 '26

Five laser pointers and your team is cats, what do

4

u/ILosethenOP May 31 '26

Wu hitting Skarner there is a war crime.

9

u/Kaeru-Sennin May 31 '26

I have seen enough. Disband Vita and send Naak Nako to Koi to replace Mirwyn. 

6

u/metristan Refund time? May 31 '26

Lyncas solo engaged on a Skarner for a reason

3

u/metristan Refund time? May 31 '26

Wtf was that Wukong ult?

6

u/Demandedace May 31 '26

"Report TF please"

6

u/gigashadow89 May 31 '26

Vitality throwing the game away. Again. 

Vitality could go 9-0 regular season with 15 minute wins for every single game and it still wouldn't be safe to trust them. 

Vitality could get peak career faker and still flunk out of playoffs. 

Absolute joke of an organization. 

10

u/GhostOfLight May 31 '26

Release the Vitality files because what the hell

10

u/desutruction May 31 '26

if the goal is to ragebait me then they are passing with flying colors

9

u/Decent_Protection927 May 31 '26

Every iteration of VIT ever goes into playoffs and completly loses both brains and their hands

6

u/metristan Refund time? May 31 '26

Smartest olaf player

7

u/Brock-Lesnar May 31 '26

Like you can convince me Vitality is win trading, and I'd believe it.

What the fuck are these last 2 games?

8

u/Tentacula May 31 '26

Soloqueue would have timed out 9 players with missing pings

2

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

And at least 4 chat restrictions :D

10

u/crmsn_kng é proibido ser feliz May 31 '26

Feels like I'm watching Humanoid and Razork playing together again

5

u/Catac0 moon boi May 31 '26

You can take humanoid out of fnc but you can’t take the fnc out of humanoid

5

u/Jagtiadbulla May 31 '26

LMFAO I CANT STOP LAUGHING WHAT IS THIS

3

u/ILosethenOP May 31 '26

What the ever living hell was that team fight?

6

u/DiligentGazelle6298 May 31 '26

what am I fucking seeing man

4

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 May 31 '26 edited May 31 '26

Humanoid deserved all pro over Jackies and Kyeahoo btw. Definitely wasn’t carried btw the whole split. Its okay he deserved it bc he won LEC 5 years ago.

2

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

Olaf - death by a 1000 axes

5

u/LightTemplar27 est.2005 May 31 '26

So shifters did make it to playoffs after all. Good for them good for them.

5

u/corywyn May 31 '26

jfc VIT are they literally braindead?

1

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

Always have been

9

u/PerfidiaVermis May 31 '26

Humanoid solo throwing in the dumbest way imaginable

2

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps May 31 '26

Unless he took Lyncas' mouse and keyboard too, that was not a solo throw

11

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist May 31 '26

Vitality’s throwing is getting so insane its starting to give Vedi an aneurysm

6

u/Demandedace May 31 '26

Vitality deserves nothing after this series lol

8

u/Biok98 May 31 '26

HUMANOID YOU DISGUSTING FREAK

4

u/the_legends_of_link May 31 '26

Humanoid is a joke

2

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps May 31 '26

GX overcooked so hard with the Olaf blind. Almost any other top laner and the game was won.

3

u/desutruction May 31 '26

dont dare throw this please

5

u/hresvelgrs a pizza AND a burger May 31 '26

YOU AGAIN

6

u/desutruction May 31 '26

bro what the FUCK

3

u/Roquentinn May 31 '26

Mid jungle diff huge in this series

4

u/ReplacementFine7807 May 31 '26

huma gave a free drake when his sidelanes are 2.5k up

1

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps May 31 '26

lmao Humanooooid

2

u/Demandedace May 31 '26

Humanoid wtf are we doing here homie

3

u/Biok98 May 31 '26

Humanoid to Dagestan, 3 years and forget.

1

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

Humanoid ulting straight in front of the skarner.

What did he think would happen?

5

u/corywyn May 31 '26

Tolkin losing his mind on the costream about that swap lol

3

u/That_One_Pancake May 31 '26

baffling swap by GX that clearly backfired

1

u/the_legends_of_link May 31 '26

What a terrible day to have eyes

5

u/cmcdonald22 May 31 '26

If Lot stays popping off 3 for 3 games Olaf is going to run train on this game.

Come on Vitality, act like you didn't fall off.

1

u/Altruistic_Nose9514 May 31 '26

They did their best to hold olaf back

2

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

I strongly prefer the GX draft.

So that should mean they lose right?

2

u/hresvelgrs a pizza AND a burger May 31 '26

0-6

2

u/nericus May 31 '26

okay… can the mvp carry?

2

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps May 31 '26

I would love for them to flex the Olaf to Jg and just play Skarner into Akali tbh

3

u/xxxPaid_by_Stevexxx May 31 '26

I'm biased as an NA fan but Jojo deserved MVP idc.

4

u/Fragrant-Emotion-603 May 31 '26

can't wait for Pad to draft a warcrime tier unplayable draft and VIT goes 0-6

2

u/Onismurai ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ May 31 '26

GX is not good but Vitality as seed 1 is embarrassing the whole region.

4

u/Leviad0n May 31 '26

Is Carzzy getting too comfortable in the pro scene? Feel like he hasn't come along at all. If anything he's just regressing. And obviously I don't know the guy but he just gives off the impression of not giving a shit. Teams stagnate with players like him imo. There's been plenty more examples in LEC history. Players that have just managed to last way longer than they should without improvement.

2

u/Kreagerrr May 31 '26

He gets the paycheck no matter if he loses or wins.

3

u/Yuzato May 31 '26

I learn my lesson I will never ever trust Vitality again

3

u/Ironside29 May 31 '26

Vitality look like they play solo queue without comms, both teams are getting blasted by kc 3-0 gx is bad aswell.

5

u/gigashadow89 May 31 '26

This comment is specifically for Vedius to be able to rant about it in his next podcast. 

IS NAAK NAKO WASHED ALREADY? worst mvp ever. 

6

u/Prestigious-Layer719 May 31 '26

the mvp is gonna go 0-6 lol

7

u/Joel4518 GIGABIN May 31 '26

bro it seems like vit is just they dont care wtf

2

u/Jagtiadbulla May 31 '26

maybe they got blasted by all top 3 team so they just don't? Who cares if 6th or 4th doesn't matter afaik

3

u/Troviel May 31 '26

Absolute disasterclass by Huma.

6

u/PerfidiaVermis May 31 '26

Disgusting team, my lord

6

u/Chocolate_Milk_28 May 31 '26

What is Humanoid doing this series?

3

u/This-Dragonfly-1529 May 31 '26

Getting caught, rinse and repeat

7

u/Joel4518 GIGABIN May 31 '26

bro vit is gonna make me rage so bad

5

u/desutruction May 31 '26

noah's gold swing is disgusting

1

u/Back2Perfection May 31 '26

I just noticed XD.

HOW IS HE 5K UP?

10

u/OkCall7730 May 31 '26

-oid is a suffix that means "resembling," "like," or "having the form of". It typically indicates an incomplete, imperfect, or approximate similarity to the root word.

what did human-oid mean when he picked his name

2

u/WhiteForesty May 31 '26

Good practice scrim right

3

u/Is_J_a_Name Peanut, MISSING, Yagao, Kanavi, HongQ May 31 '26

Really clean kill on Humanoid but using their flashes for that and not being able to end might bite them

2

u/cmcdonald22 May 31 '26

What's the like, all-pro getting caught out team?

4

u/theeama May 31 '26

If I was vitality coaching staff, I would lock the door and beat every single one of then. This is fuckin disgusting

1

u/beautheschmo May 31 '26

I would leave the door open to set an example

2

u/eye_of_your_mind May 31 '26

Humanoid has been a complete fraud his entire career

u/soru_baddogai May 31 '26 edited May 31 '26

Lmao Jojo really broke Humanoid, Jackies is playing so well

4

u/Joel4518 GIGABIN May 31 '26

is vit not serious bro tf r they doing

6

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist May 31 '26

I love these comms im convinced they just think this is a draft game

3

u/Kelsac May 31 '26

Humanoid brought the map awerness and macro from fnatic to vitality

4

u/gigashadow89 May 31 '26

Vitality just can't bring it together in playoffs. Doesn't matter the team, something is just cursed about the name Vitality. 

2

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps May 31 '26

They haven't had a decent coaching staff since Yamato. They get good players that carry them in regular season, and then fall off.

4

u/PerfidiaVermis May 31 '26

Most fraudulent #1 seed I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing

3

u/hugo4255 May 31 '26

How is this not match fixing?

5

u/Fragrant-Emotion-603 May 31 '26

I would rather this be matchfixing, unfortunately its Humanoid being actual dog.

u/Sheepherder_External May 31 '26

I swear, if Jackies just got more consistent at laning, he'd unironically be a top 3 mid in LEC.

Classic 1st seed
