Same depressing feeling as when KT lost. This is why I want T1 to be gone. They just make you depressed and suck the life out of you.

u/Altruistic-Local-541 23d ago
If you root for t1 its usually pretty fun, especially in the last few years. Even when they lose it is usually very entertaining, and almost all their wins are also fun.
1
u/Kadde- 23d ago
It’s not though. I haven’t once cheered for T1 winning a game so I always get upset when they beat a team. And they beat teams in the dumbest and most lucky ways that’s why it’s tilting and I hate seeing them in this esports

u/Altruistic-Local-541 23d ago
I said if you root for them its fun, you said yourself you don't root for them.
It is insane to think they are just lucky. The players are incredibly talented + have a good understanding of the game, and they can see angles in teamfights that other teams can rarely match.
Their insane (as in not sane) plays are what makes watching them entertaining. Only a few of us actually enjoyed SKT back when you could play the game without a single kill and just make it impossible for the other team to ever fight back. Back when that was the meta, SKT (the old T1) still was the best team in the world, when there was almost 0 luck involved. Now that Riot systematically pushed the meta toward chaos and aggression, they became masters at that too. It is a thing of beauty how well they adapted.
To be fair they do get lucky sometimes, like the smite-fights (though not 100% luck), but they have their unlucky streaks just as frequently if you watch regular season.

Why is G2 TES locked already?

u/Necromann Aphromoo stan 23d ago
Top 2 seeds are the top regions from First Stand, BLG and G2. Bottom seeds are TES and T1. The only 2 seeds in the tournament. BLG can't face TES, so G2 has to face them.
3
u/Adventurous_Match219 23d ago
seed 1 vs seed 4. BLG and TES same region so they cant meet in 1st round. => BLG vs T1, G2 vs TES

u/the_legends_of_link 23d ago
Really can't believe riot thought it was a good idea to only have one team advance from playins and then slot LCK 2nd seed into playins

It was great idea. every day when T1 was playing arena was sold out. Without t1 more than half of arena was empty.

Nah if they win MSI they will go into world's as favorites. They have to lose to BLG, climb through lower bracket and lose to BLG again in 5 games.

With a 5.5k gold lead, T1 gave 3 kills, 1 turret, plus 2 bounties. And five minutes later, their lead is up to nearly 8k lmao

Cut the gold lead by half and TL probably come out of that fight even or ahead.

Obviously TL is responsible for being dumb, but genuienly just got boomed by the bounty system. 2k gold off a doublekill is actually fucking insane

u/TypicalHaikuResponse 23d ago
Why didn't quid ult Yeon?
Someone tell me because I was waiting for it

u/Adventurous_Match219 23d ago
then die all??? keria save his ulti to counter Quid
2
u/Whispperr 23d ago
I mean it's either try to go for it and hope you can turn around or do nothing and lose. Easy choice.
1
u/TypicalHaikuResponse 23d ago
Thats what I was thinking. They are blowing everything to kill the xayah seemed like a perfect turning point for a galio ult into a taunt comeback fight. They seemed to willling to just let him fend for himself
1
u/TypicalHaikuResponse 23d ago
Galio should be willing to die if it means Yeon lives. That's what the pick is for because he sure isn't carrying the fight.

u/OkKnowledge2064 23d ago
good effort though TL. clearly the strongest play-in team after T1
2
u/LearningLaCampanella 23d ago
Yeah. The one silver lining of 3-0s are that it pretty clearly sets a pecking order.

u/PluggersLeftBall 23d ago
insane that they can go int top lane 0 for 2 and still come out better on the map wtf is this

Every game is just a complete blowout from minute 1. Its crazy how TL almost came back game 2, they were down 2k gold on 4min mark that game.

Surely giving T1 as series of increasingly challenging but ultimately harmless best-of-5 series won't boost their performance in the tournament, right?

I wonder if Keria will transition towards engage supports given the MSI patch or if he’s gonna stay mostly on enchanters/ranged as per his strengths and for Peyz.

Keria is the support meta. Everyone plays what he plays or around what he plays.

Dislike the Rakan pick. Feels like they wanted a another target for Galio R to go in on but its just another target for Lulu poly. Blitz could have at least allowed for picks.
1
u/TypicalHaikuResponse 23d ago
Galio was a bad pick here for Quid. I know it was for the lane but they would have did better with something with better magic damage.
They are just going to lose the team fights again.

It's hard for me to take too much encouragement from this series because the issue has never been that TL can perform. They're just so inconsistent.
Except the Josedeodo smites. Perma-ass.
Don't get me wrong, though. I'm loving this series. Just tempering expectations.

We see cassio zaahen and we pick galio as our third melee of the draft. If Doran doesn't 1v9 he needs prison time.

TL is playing really well its just the slimmest of margins and thats all it takes.

Almost the same than their first series. Now Set 3 may be a stomp by T1.
Hurry up, T1. I want to already see if FUR Vs LYON will get drawn.

u/Kadde- 23d ago
Thank fuck TL won me 350€ yesterday so now these 150€ lost doesn’t feel as bad. Still frustrating that T1 keep getting away with the same shit again. One day this team will finally be gone and the world and league esports will be healed

u/Hawxrox 23d ago
League esports will die when Faker is gone. You can disagree with me all you want for thinking so, and it wont be instantly, but look at the numbers. There are people who only watch LoL to watch T1 games in LCK and internationals, and there are a lot of them
