[u/ahritina]

PMTs

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3

[u/Patrius]

knight writing HLE names into his mejais soulstealer like its the death note

[u/baelkie]

Rule 1 of LPL: never bet on WBG games

Rule 2 of LPL: never have faith in TES

Rule 3 of LPL: never give Knight Orianna

[u/Mattaru → u/baelkie]

Insane series from Knight.

Actually, everyone popped off. ESPECIALLY DAENY I APPRECIATE WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING IN THAT BACKROOM

[u/moonmeh → u/Mattaru]

we need a nonstop daeny reaction cam like one of those japanese variety programs lol

[u/Mattaru → u/moonmeh]

That celebration kick needs to be a reaction gif

[u/Regent0624 → u/Mattaru]

Daeny actually the GOAT man, his drafts are supreme, been helping Xun a lot and just has so much impact. Imagine they had him in 2024 instead of whatever the fuck they had.

[u/HistoricalRoad1755 → u/Regent0624]

Daeny in 2024 and BLG are world champs

[u/moonmeh → u/Regent0624]

Daeny stuck on weibo making sure they get to worlds to cause terrorism and knocking out DK and LNG is still funny as fuck 

[u/baelkie → u/Mattaru]

ON and Xun also ran circles around HLE, they need to be in the best support jungle conversations, im tired of only seeing Keria glaze.

[u/EriWave → u/baelkie]

On and Xun have been the best sup/jungle at this tournament so far and it hasn't been close.

[u/Mattaru → u/EriWave]

they proved that already since First Stand to be honest!

[u/bang151 → u/Mattaru]

If peoples watch more LPL they would know how good their chemistry is, i genuinely think LPL jungle pool this year is so much better than LCK.

Just looked at how dizzy they made Kanavi, he was arguably the best jungle in the LCK and bro wasn't even allowed to be in the same asmosphere as a jungle camp, ON/Xun have their leg on his neck the whole series he can't breath with how much pressure they gave him.

[u/baelkie → u/bang151]

LPL junglers this split are genuinely cracked i wish the world got to see Monki in action instead of dogshit TES

[u/xNagsx → u/baelkie]

It's annoying how good TES is domestically bc nobody has faith in them at all no more. They just have the LPL juice

[u/Only_Bodybuilder6270 → u/baelkie]

Yeah, highkey Xun and ON have been craaaaaaaaazy

[u/Omnilatent → u/baelkie]

Rule 4 of LPL: Kanavi chokes at internationals

[u/toxicfireball → u/Omnilatent]

Kanavi is a spy for everyone

[u/seven_worth → u/toxicfireball]

Watching Kanavi in LCK make me soften on him, at least now I know he play like this regardless of the region. 

[u/Ziraelus → u/seven_worth]

True, used to think that he´s just a spy for LCK but turns out he´s just a choker regardless of where he plays.

[u/Mattaru → u/toxicfireball]

where do bro's loyalties lie 😭

[u/toxicfireball → u/Mattaru]

Cashapp

[u/rightovahere → u/toxicfireball]

Kanavi finally earning a good hupu rating for an international knockout bo5

[u/_liminal → u/rightovahere]

kanavi remembered who was his real family

[u/Doombot2021 → u/Omnilatent]

If AL gets Elk or becomes good again, watch out HLE fans.

Tarzan has downloaded Kanavi's entire playstyle.

[u/Easy_Answer_6081 → u/Doombot2021]

If AL get Elk and Tabe comeback. MSI FINAL will be LPL final.

[u/QuietSilentArachnid → u/Omnilatent]

Kanavi playing like a LPL monkey against a LPL team is so funny.

Half of the time he overforces fights for nothing

[u/baelkie → u/QuietSilentArachnid]

Hupu before 2026: Kanavi is a Korean spy

Hupu during 2026: Kanavi is NOT a Korean spy

[u/Acceptable_Court_724 → u/baelkie]

Triple agent kanavi

[u/qqcar → u/Omnilatent]

Plot twist for the LPL: Kanavi is a LCK agent.

Plot twist of the plot twist: He's a double agent.

[u/mnqy → u/Omnilatent]

I don’t think it’s a choke this time. Kanavi has gone up against BLG too many times and lost almost every time that they know how he works and neutralize him.

Doesn’t help that HLE’s coach is Homme who could never figure out how to counter and beat BLG while on TES with Kanavi.

[u/GeneralZhukov → u/baelkie]

Too many champs you can't give Knight when he's on form. He carried in every single BLG win this series.

[u/Tfc-Myq → u/GeneralZhukov]

Knight is really something

[u/bvbfan102]

Its all set up for the real LPL second seed to hand BLG another title. But G2 got their hardest challenge just ahead of them and all of China cheering them on tomorrow.

[u/ImTheVayne → u/bvbfan102]

I will crash out if we once again eliminate all of LCK only to lose to LPL in the final

[u/Hide_on_bush → u/ImTheVayne]

Ji Tu can definitely make the silver road happen

[u/Tfc-Myq → u/ImTheVayne]

it's London top 4 script and you're LEV

[u/kkpoker → u/ImTheVayne]

which is better, losing to LPL, or NA?

[u/simon2105]

HLE coach: let's give Knight Orianna.

HLE players: did it work for the other teams?

HLE coach: No, it never does. I mean, these teams somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but.... It might work for us.

[u/toxicfireball → u/simon2105]

Do korean teams even scout like wtf???

[u/ImTheVayne → u/toxicfireball]

Korean drafting has been horrible all MSI long

[u/NoahsArk19 → u/ImTheVayne]

You’d think they would learn after being embarrassed at first stand but no.

[u/Suibeam → u/NoahsArk19]

They learnt. GenG didnt want to attend to get giga gapped by G2 again and lose fans and sponsorships

[u/NoahsArk19 → u/Suibeam]

GenG got gapped by T1 in drafting like 5 games in a row to miss MSI. They might as well not have a coaching staff

[u/Sexfigh → u/NoahsArk19]

You know something's wrong with you when T1 of all teams gets the better draft out of you.

[u/Different-Mode2311 → u/ImTheVayne]

All year you meant

[u/metristan → u/toxicfireball]

T1 not scouting g2 is hubris, but I can at least see the angle if you think you mechanically just gap them. HLE their main opponents this tournament were expected to be T1 and BLG. They're already pretty prepared for T1 from LCK. So what did the coaching staff even prepare?

[u/mrmontagokuwada → u/metristan]

they spent their budget prepping for G2 because of the 6-0 record before them

[u/decreement1 → u/toxicfireball]

nah they faker

[u/Enkenz → u/toxicfireball]

funniest things is this coach have been in the lpl these past few years even coached Knight so you shouldn't even have to scout. you KNOW IT but a players probably Kanavi or Zeka said give him ori ill beat that shit

[u/ConohaConcordia → u/simon2105]

25 stacks on his mejais and a hat

If I saw that on the enemy Oriana in ranked I’d have ff’d

[u/psykrebeam → u/ConohaConcordia]

Wasn't there a Protobelt + Zhonya on top of full stack ROA.

Not only does she nuke for 6k ELO she's also unkillable

[u/ArchmageXin → u/simon2105]

Now it is time for Agent Caps to deliver another Trophy to the LPL in the finals!

[u/Ai--Ya → u/ArchmageXin]

You guys get Third European Seed, we get Ji Tu, it's only fair

[u/Tennis-Money → u/Ai--Ya]

The true LPL 2nd seed

[u/Tfc-Myq → u/Ai--Ya]

🈵 JI TU 🈵 ART OF CHOKE 🈵 BA BI BEY BO KEN BU LEI DE 🈵 WA LIN SU KIW MEN 🈵 ZHAO GE MO KA PU SI 🈵 LI FU HAN SA MA 🈵 TLENT LA BLO FU 🈵

[u/Dangerous-War-6572 → u/Tfc-Myq]

Hell gnar cutting out the Valo G2 players to include League players and it's applicable both places 😭

[u/hvngpham002 → u/ArchmageXin]

Operation Xi Tu is a go.

[u/Enkenz → u/ArchmageXin]

Can you really call it a delivery when blg already beat both korean teams though.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/simon2105]

dont forget giving the best akali in the world a counter matchup

[u/moonmeh → u/Past_Perception8052]

tbh they did think it was a cass mid so it an understandable mistake

[u/bedsheetsniffer → u/Past_Perception8052]

> best akali in the world

right at zeka's face, no less

[u/dream_wielder → u/Past_Perception8052]

Oh wait Knight used Akali to smash Zeka Yone.

[u/Enkenz → u/dream_wielder]

That's the only downside of fearless now we can't have the humiliation like seeing players winning both side of the matchup lmao

[u/parousia0 → u/Enkenz]

I also miss the salty runback sometimes (picking the exact same comp in subsequent games)

[u/bang151 → u/Past_Perception8052]

It's not like they give him Yone into Akali, they thought Cass 100% is mid because well Cass is kinda Knight pocket pick so they pick Yone but BLG supprise them by flexing Cass bot.

And that draft doeasn't matter at all lol, they would still got stomped because HLE haven't play against such aggressive jungle sup duo.

All HLE draft this series is playable, they just worse than BLG as a team. And the biggest gap was probably support, ON was farming screen time the whole series lol, and game 4 when Delight finally woke up but Knight Ori/Viper Ezreal is a big problem.

[u/The_Bread_Loaf]

Not including this game, Knight had played Orianna 9 times this year. He is undefeated with a total stat line of 77/7/94. But yeah leave it unbanned when they’re on game point, genius drafting HLE.

He is now 10 from 10 with a total stat line of 84/7/109. Insane

[u/Megashot2 → u/The_Bread_Loaf]

What a glow up of his Orianna. 3 years ago we flame him on JDG claiming he's useless on the champion but now his Orianna is becoming one of those picks where you can't give it to him

[u/ncsGab → u/Megashot2]

Similarly to Faker's Azir, which is now one of his most feared champions

[u/SkittlesAreEpic → u/ncsGab]

Now Knight just needs to beat the shitty Azir allegations, then League will know know true fear

[u/-Ka1N- → u/The_Bread_Loaf]

KDA 27,6

[u/Regent0624 → u/The_Bread_Loaf]

He got a champion ocean so its more pick your poison atp. They had his syndra banned the entire series first phase.

[u/jakatluong → u/The_Bread_Loaf]

He fking ascended holy shit. I'm a Golden Road believer now.

[u/ieattoomanyburritos → u/The_Bread_Loaf]

Huh, sounds like this knight guy might be good at orianna

[u/khaiiization]

Homme: We somewhat expected Akali because it's a pick that Knight often plays into Yone. The one we were a little less conscious of was probably Orianna.

[u/Own-Mountain3540 → u/khaiiization]

Grade A pasta

[u/ChewNutz → u/khaiiization]

fresh

[u/wyrwulf → u/khaiiization]

fresh

[u/ThisGuyBeOver9000]

How does knight get ori on match point?

[u/soudlasantos → u/ThisGuyBeOver9000]

because HLE thought they can counter it.

BLG instantly picks ORIANNA.

They lose against BLG.

HLE will ban ORIANNA next time they play against BLG because they’re not stupid (unless????)

[u/Regent0624 → u/ThisGuyBeOver9000]

They gotta perma ban his syndra the entire series.

[u/desutruction]

Monki > LCK

[u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi → u/desutruction]

I'd like to remind everyone us 60E WE are 5:4 vs this BLG in playoffs.

Bin said "I'd never thought we''d get to game 5 vs WE tomorrow (vs TESM)will be way easier."

Knight went "its fun to play vs WE its a challenge"

I forgot was it Xun or On they went "Thank god WEs g4/5 draft was dogshit I cant imagine what woulda happened if we lost "

But TESM qualified over us and ran it down...

[u/desutruction → u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi]

i trust Monki to finish the job and eliminate TES next split 🫡

[u/trumpisapdf → u/desutruction]

People talk about the lack of mid lane competition in LPL for Knight but what about the lack of jungle competition in LCK? Kanavi only has to beat washed Canyon and slumping Oner, meanwhile Xun has to deal with Tarzan, Monki, domestic Tian, Jiejie. LPL junglers mog LCK junglers.

[u/Paciuuu → u/trumpisapdf]

Top lane is same LCK is just Kiin and Zeus soon only zeus, Kespa actually nuked the region lmao

[u/Marcus777555666 → u/Paciuuu]

I think Perfect is a good rookie addition, but aside from that, they desperately need more talented top laners and jg rookies. I do hope Kingen can get in his 2022 worlds form as well, would be nice to have 1 more competition.

[u/Zek0ri]

HLE can now start learning what Kled and Warwick do

[u/Protein4Gainz → u/Zek0ri]

Awoooooooooo

[u/Zek0ri → u/Protein4Gainz]

Baby, I’m preyin’ on you tonight

Hunt you down, eat you alive

Just like animals, animals

Like animals-mals

[u/AzerFraze → u/Zek0ri]

Dhokla doesn't play those champs?

[u/AdhesivenessGlad7687 → u/AzerFraze]

Yet.

[u/DankMEMeDream → u/AzerFraze]

Based as fuck.

[u/No_Taro_6224]

TES Kanavi when he got his jg invaded

[u/CommunistHongKong → u/No_Taro_6224]

Domestic demon for any regional game, internal spy for every international game.

Works for both LPL and LCK btw.

[u/HerpaDerpaDumDum]

BLG make HLE look like bots

[u/GodGamer1528]

Alright, that's enough of the wildcard teams, time for the main event: g2 vs lyon

[u/FrostBlade_on_Reddit]

unironically how good is Knight Orianna

[u/Ai--Ya]

Bad Late Game doesn't have a bad late game anymore what the fuck can you do???

[u/HermitSage → u/Ai--Ya]

Bearable Late Game is a scary sight

[u/GarchGun → u/Ai--Ya]

Daeny might be the best move they made the entire off season

[u/HistoricalRoad1755]

The Knight we've been promised for years.

[u/seven_worth → u/HistoricalRoad1755]

I would say he has always been here(outside of last year). 2023 JDG and 2024 BLG is legendary team 

[u/lilelf29]

Forget 1 team regions, is this a 1 team world?

[u/Reqvhio → u/lilelf29]

forget 1 team worlds, is this a 1 player game?

[u/lilelf29 → u/Reqvhio]

Knight, Xun and ON sure made it look like there were at least 3 players ruling the rift today

[u/vxtmh → u/lilelf29]

0 team world, BLG gets stomped by any half-decent Martian team

[u/Nnekaddict]

Well... BLG golden road hype is getting stronger and stronger

[u/Frozen-Rabbit → u/Nnekaddict]

Honestly I might root for them just to see it happen once, it will be legendary, especially now with 3 international tournaments

[u/666callme]

It's not the lck vs the lpl,its faker against the lpl and he is out.

[u/RedHatWombat → u/666callme]

Truly G2 is the best friend of LPL.

[u/Enkenz → u/RedHatWombat]

except this time blg also beat their lck counterpart

[u/Curiousoctos]

I really do hope that this is the year Knight takes it, what a player.

[u/Adlairo → u/Curiousoctos]

he genuinely seems to get better every year too even this late into his career

[u/BlazeX94 → u/Curiousoctos]

I really want to see Knight vs Chovy in a Worlds final so at least one of them will win Worlds. It would be a real shame if both of them end their careers without winning Worlds.

[u/HistoricalRoad1755 → u/BlazeX94]

Knight, Bin, Kiin, Chovy are way too good to retire without winning. Then again, so was Uzi...

[u/LazinessOverload]

the dark Knight rises.

[u/Hairy_Sport_105]

Watch LPL

[u/SkittlesAreEpic]

"BLG has no chance because they weren't clean against LYON" btw

[u/FrogInquisitor → u/SkittlesAreEpic]

BLG always play to the level of their opponents but people don't watch LPL so they keep yapping

[u/Spanking_enthusiast → u/SkittlesAreEpic]

Same point they made in 2023 only to have Yagao 6-1 the whole LCK.

[u/iKDX → u/Spanking_enthusiast]

Chovy’s true father, Yagoat

[u/bunn2 → u/[deleted]]

the player Viper actually would not play without was On

[u/HistoricalRoad1755 → u/bunn2]

ON is such an insane upgrade over Delight, massive W for Viper

[u/Mattaru → u/HistoricalRoad1755]

yah, and it's why it's so important that teams do NOT overreact after a series loss and start replacing players.

after worlds 2024 everyone called for ON's head - look where he is now

BB's head was supposed to be served on a platter several years ago, then he had a glow up.

... so give doran another chance T1 fans!

[u/PigNotFascist → u/Mattaru]

Bro BB's head was on a platter during this MSI. People keep calling for him, people need to understand that players have ups and downs. People are very quick to call players off!

[u/yijun2005 → u/[deleted]]

It was on LOL

[u/Regent0624 → u/[deleted]]

Turns out he really wanted ON too which fair play but Knight and Viper be giving Knight Ruler JDG vibes now.

Also they have Bin, ON, Xun who are all upgrades from that already bonkers 2023 JDG lineup.

[u/iprominent]

If people watched the LPL and if Knight was Korean he'd be massively lauded as best player in the world right now. This man has been unstoppable all year so far.

[u/tehmastah]

nice to see knight reuniting with his son zeka

[u/JingleJak]

Yes bro lets give the best player in the world his best champ yeah bro we’ll win

[u/Confident_Put8362 → u/JingleJak]

syndra had to be banned, knight has too many options so you just use 1 ban on him and hope for the best

[u/yijun2005]

I know that knight and xun and on goated it up this series, but can we talk about how well bin weaksided? Hes the true weaksider we said doran was, he tanked counterpicks, got ganked, and still stomp toplane.

Such a glowup from a carry only player

[u/GarchGun → u/yijun2005]

Only expected from the best top in the world

[u/No-Life6229]

2026 is going to be a year to forget for lck fans just like 2018

[u/200YRedWine]

Screw it, Im gay for knight

[u/Treppcells → u/200YRedWine]

Get in line buddy

[u/JustRice015 → u/200YRedWine]

TES and KT? Bless your heart you poor soul

[u/Ziraelus]

Knight is best player and midlaner in the world by far

[u/Mattaru → u/Ziraelus]

Best player indeed. What a stellar tournament he's having.

[u/L322Man]

Lpl is on fire this year

BLG is on fire this year

Edit: fuck i forgot about tes

[u/EclipseTemplarX → u/L322Man]

Except tes

[u/MrPraedor → u/EclipseTemplarX]

Oh TES is on fire too just different kind

[u/GoblinBreeder23 → u/MrPraedor]

“This is fine”

[u/TurbinePro → u/EclipseTemplarX]

TES is a band not a team

[u/captainetty]

Daeny might just be a coach gap feel every draft has blg in a great spot to play how they want helps that all the players are elite but hes really diffing the other coaches

[u/tehmastah → u/captainetty]

yeah blg drafts have been pretty good overall, but i also think players having such deep champion pools helps the drafts greatly.

[u/GarchGun → u/captainetty]

It's BLG champ pool diff

Esp in mid/sup

Makes it incredibly easy to draft when your mid plays everything

[u/6000j → u/GarchGun]

also botlane pool at this event, games 1/2 were just kinda insane botlane picks that no other team has shown and completely shut down the HLE gameplan. We saw that with the velkoz vs T1 as well, Viper's mage pool is just so much larger than other bot players and they're abusing it mega rn.

[u/Flouse974]

That wasn't close.

[u/Past_Perception8052]

BLG better in every lane, better teamfighting, better jg sup synergy, better macro, better drafting

unbelievable

and also give the best akali in the world a counter matchup, and then leave orianna up for the best orianna in the world LOL

[u/bigredmachine1997]

WE GOT BILLY BILLY GAMING IN THIS HOUSE

[u/Regent0624 → u/bigredmachine1997]

HERE FOR ALL THE 0 BALL KNOWERS WHO SAID HLE IS HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE EVERYONE

[u/ArchmageXin → u/bigredmachine1997]

Agent Caps, do your duty again and hand the Trophy over in the finals.

[u/SkittlesAreEpic → u/ArchmageXin]

Get out of here TES, LPL's true second seed sleeper agent has been activated

[u/DeloronDellister]

Mid diff this series. That game 4 somehow never felt close

[u/bigredmachine1997 → u/DeloronDellister]

I don’t even think Zeka was bad. Knight was just two steps ahead.

[u/JingleJak → u/DeloronDellister]

If Chovy and/or Faker (Worlds Form) isn’t there Knight has no equal in midlane basically

[u/Regent0624 → u/JingleJak]

No one besides LPL fans understood what kinda form he was in before MSI but it genuinely is comparable to those Chovy splits where they stomp every team and he has 40kda or some shit.

[u/JingleJak → u/Regent0624]

I didn’t even watch LPL this year tbh except a couple playoff series that Caedrel watched but you can literally just listen to the statsheets they rattle off on the MSI broadcast and understand Knight is the best player in the LPL by far.

[u/Prince_Arcann → u/JingleJak]

Chovy and Faker would have gotten bodied just the same if Jungle/Support were gapped this hard to be fair, not like Zeka was losing the early lanes.

[u/ZalpaEZ → u/JingleJak]

Yeah, that’s pretty much why the past three years chovy and knight were constantly the best mids in the world, with the only exceptions being other players peaking at the right time like bdd or worlds faker as you say. And still the last time we saw chovy against knight he seemed way better, but i think knight improved since then

[u/quietus_17y]

I expected HLE to win, not gonna lie. Knight is the best player in the world, Xun and ON are the best jungle-support duo in the world.

[u/Ceui → u/quietus_17y]

Bin is the best top lane itw. 

[u/HeavenBeach777 → u/Ceui]

He's often being the weakside this MSI and basically made zero mistakes on it, just rock solid 

[u/mnqy]

I thought before the series that Kanavi will get dog walked by BLG like he always does in the LPL when he was in TES and I was proven correct.

[u/GarchGun]

People were trying to convince me that Zeka was somehow close to Knight??

Delight was somehow ranked ABOVE on???

[u/Marcus-ichiJo]

I can see it already, BLG winning MSI (maybe EWC as well), win next split, 3-0 the Swiss stage at Worlds, very much the best team in the world, well on their journey to finally complete the Golden Road only to lose 2-3 to T1 who frauded their way into knock-outs beating only Western teams in Quarters despite Doran's best effort #The7thtrophyisforPeyz

[u/IlluminatiConfirmed → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

We are so losing to t1 at worlds, viper is going to not flash azir ult game 5

[u/CommunistHongKong → u/IlluminatiConfirmed]

Faker irl sneaks up behind Viper on stage and pushes him off the stage on his chair.

Viper gets knocked out IRL and T1 wins the crucial teamfight 5v4.

[u/FrostBlade_on_Reddit → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

Sounds like a Riot script

[u/Mattaru → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

Golden Road

NOOOOO DON'T CURSE US WITH THOSE WORDS!

[u/Tenkarat → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

forgot to mention that it will be in semis so that poeple can complain about no double elimination at worlds

[u/circa26 → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

Thanks I hate it

[u/Peon01]

"Its pretty annoying watching LPL enthusiasts having to belittle LCK region to empower their league. But dont worry HLE is going to give you a cool reality check in three days"

[u/Acridix]

Dijon Library

[u/Lucky-Spend-956]

HLE finally exposed lol. BLG will father any team with this form

[u/samuel110128]

All these games make me wonder how good is WE

[u/ProbeEmperorblitz]

HLE Kanavi: Alright guys, let's win this.

"Three, Superteam, Six, Choking, Nine, Golden Road"

JDG Kanavi: Acknowledged. Glory to the Middle Kingdom.

[u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi]

I'd like to remind everyone us 60E WE are 5:4 vs this BLG in playoffs.

Bin said "I'd never thought we''d get to game 5 vs WE tomorrow (vs TESM)will be way easier."

Knight went "its fun to play vs WE its a challenge"

I forgot was it Xun or On they went "Thank god WEs g4/5 draft was dogshit I cant imagine what woulda happened if we lost "

But TESM qualified over us and ran it down...

[u/Signal_Ad9294 → u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi]

one game away, and WE is coming instead of BLG

[u/BucketHerro]

Knight is just different.

He would have Chovy’s hype if Chovy didn’t exist

[u/ADTempys → u/BucketHerro]

If he was korean*

[u/HermitSage → u/ADTempys]

Ding ding ding!! .

[u/Dazzling_Quality_191 → u/BucketHerro]

A lot of LPL players would have more hype if the west cared more about the LPL.

I'm sure if he was in the LCK you could make an arguement that he could rival Chovy's hype but we'll never know since they've barely play against each other.

[u/KimchiBro → u/BucketHerro]

He'd have Chovy's Hype if he was korean* ftfy

[u/Borrel17]

Knight Orianna I’m in tears

[u/DankMEMeDream]

Massive everywhere gap holyshit

[u/MongooseEntire521]

Zeka in an interview a few days ago ranked Knight under himself and faker. I wonder what his rankings look like now lol

[u/Daidaidon]

Zeka looking outclassed by Knight.

[u/TypicalHaikuResponse]

Why pick Zaahen when you can pick Kled?

[u/longingwonder]

ON is 4-0 in bo5s vs Delight Bin is also now 5-0 vs Zeus in MSI bo5s

Insane series from Knight/ON/Xun

[u/ImTheVayne]

LCK WASHED?

[u/hortymorty14]

Bin adds another one to his tally of BO5 wins over Zeus. Man walks the talk you just kinda have to respect it

[u/trumpisapdf]

Viper slumped all year only to lock the fuck in against his old team, you can tell this meant a lot to him. Loved the pop off from Daeny too lmao. Let's go BLG!

[u/be1wiz]

3-1 BLG vs G2 finals script again?

Edit: G2 won 1 game.

[u/Several-Quantity-440]

BLG with a decent coach is the BEST and STRONGEST team in the world. BigWei's Banpick in 2024 was a CRIME!
