double elim stuff

otherwise, they could lose only once and be eliminated, unlike every other team in the bracket who had a second chance.

not a fan of it either.

to see one of the two go out here, it is sadge.

XIA 2-1 ONIC.

what happened I was watching FS VLT

weirdo

iirc a lot of the thai fanbase is on facebook, so I'm not sure riot will even see most of the stuff.

dude got the drip

I mean, I felt that they weren't playing as they usually do.

The only reason FS won that map is that VLT just couldn't shut down JohnOlsen and Thee. The util from FS was super bad, the teamplay was always fractured, and their map control was bad.

They just contacted into sites for like 10 rounds straight, and VLT read it - putting 3 defenders on the site that was getting hit at times. They still couldn't stop the execs, though, and lost the game as a result.

I'm not trying to take away from VLT - their strategic ability was better. It just didn't feel like the FS that played pretty much anytime other than early Champs.

GG

FS's haven looks very messy. maybe it's just that they weren't warmed up.

Split was miles better - they look like the normal FS again.

yeah, it's ridiculous that they didn't even give them the ~1.5 hours that the match would have undoubtedly taken either way. 30 minutes and they lose both maps.

not a fan of this decision at all, RIOT really need to revise their rules.

T1 won 2-0 against DRX. They are the first team EVER to go undefeated in an LCK split.

Clean sweep of the playoffs incoming

where the fuck did cs come from lmao

validation feels fucking good

Did that match break 100k peak? There was probably 40-50k on twitch alone.

FS wouldn't have won this map against a more skilled team. JohnOlsen and THEE are insane

so many duels went their way that wouldn't have against a top tier team like PRX or XIA.

VLT just couldn't hang with the big dog's fragging.

also, @ESIC

pros don't fake

VLT somehow can't deal with FS's execs now that JohnOlsen and the rest of the team is fired up. The execs feel super telegraphed too, with a lot of staggered early util, and no real presence on the other parts of the map.

VLT definitely read it, too, with 3 players on A. Yet, they still lose the round.

ngl even if FS win like this, I'm still disappointed.

it's just contact play after contact play. they almost lost a 3v2 post plant because they were all in a smoke in long

he diffy

yeah, I'm pretty convinced FS haven't practiced this map at all, or have flat out underestimated VLT.

these decisions are so odd - not using the sova ult in the 1v1 on a key round, not rotating after that initial engagement at A and general mismangement of the time.

yeah he's been clutch as fuck this map

33% of his kills LULW

Clueless Surely VLT win the round with better guns, right

MVP

I love that pistol round from VLT. The follow up didn't go as well, but it was effective nonetheless.

what the dog doin

that 1v3 loss lmfao.

statistically, Haven is their worst map. perhaps that has something to do with it. although that doesn't really explain the lack of teamplay.

full sense look rough right now

I'm not seeing the usual PTC util into JohnOlsen retakes, it feels super unrehearsed. I wonder if they underestimated VLT - individual skill is pretty obviously not enough to beat any APAC team.

not their fault

it was raining hard in Thailand, so Xerxia had connection / power issues. They went into a tech pause for like 15 minutes, then forfeited the first map.

~20 minutes later (would still be playing map 1) they forfeited the second map too.

MICKEY MOUSE WIN

glitch cam
pati injury
playing against VK who used a glitch cam
pati goes to OW
org stole the money (allegedly)
playing against X10, who also cheated
lost match to water

the SEA schedule is really tight, there may not be time to schedule it a day after.

fucked the whole group too

should've been ONIC and XIA making it out. now only one of the two can.

top 2 at least IMO.

they are the previous X10 team without patiphan (made top 8 champs, lost 2-1 to Gambit).

MICKEY MOUSE WIN

this is some fucking bullshit dude

it's so odd how many times this team gets involved in the ruling stuff, from the OG cam bug to the X10 stuff, and now this.

they were in the same group as Vivo Keyd too, lol.

are they just going to get flat-out DQ'd if they can't show up in time for map 2?

edit: there's no fucking way it makes sense to flat out DQ the team after not even an hour. they could literally be still playing map 1 right now. surely, at the very least, they wait for the game's potential runtime before resorting to such an extreme solution.

Cringe ass start to an otherwise gigabanger map

MASSIVE CRINGE.

like, what the fuck? just postpone the match

Boaster can finally shoot heads and play for him self, less micro managing more self care.

Boaster has always been a LAN demon, even all the way back in Iceland '21

Gambit v Fnatic finals, at Rekyjavik (if they can travel there). Fnatic win 3-2.

Derke is a crackhead already, with the LAN buff he's going to be a monster.

MF got god on speed dial

FS are a thai team too, I imagine they have similar issues.

I haven't either. There were 2 OTs in Sen v Fnatic @ Iceland, but that was a Bo5

both bangers, both at the same time

what do

Jetty TenZ goes +30 every game

but, all the other TenZ go -10

so they lose every match

ABAAAAAAATCHEST

jinxed it sadge
