T1 vs DK was a bit of a letdown, game 1 started well but DK just don't have it in them to beat T1 atm.

LEC had the shortest and longest game of the split so far, seems the region still hasn't fully gotten a grasp on the meta yet.

Most will probably already know this, but a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a youtube channel with a lot of fun interviews with Korean LCK players/coaches (Zeus, Kingen, Score, Polt to name a few): https://www.youtube.com/c/KorizonEsports/featured

If you haven't seen it before, I'd recommend checking it out.

honestly think the return of nuguri has been so overhyped. hes obviously an upgrade on burdol/hoya but the real reason dk is doing worse is because they lost beryl. deokdam isnt good enough to be put in the same category as ruler/gumayusi/teddy/deft and kellin is just bad.
dk can either play top game and watch their bot duo get wrecked or play bot game and have nuguri on non carry champions, defeating the purpose of bringing him in in the first place

DK isn't perfect, but ShowMaker is so cracked right now.

Please nerf Zeri W to the ground though.

GennG vs DRX Game 1 is my biggest wtf game of the split so far. Game 2 was boring though.

Game 2 GenG vs LSB was insanity!

Vulcan is a secret clone of Idra and Santorin is the Thor version of Huk

And the rematch game 1 was even better imo. Shame that Sandbox probably didn't think the same, you could see the life sucking out of them after the first loss.

River traded to GGS from Dig. Guess Dig just gave up. Honestly was hoping Dig would send River/Bio to CLG so CLG could be a world's spot contender, not go to GGS where they'll get unceremoniously kicked from playoffs

Ruler really trying to make his case for best ADC in the world right now. Him and Gala have serious clutch factor so far this year, other players have amazing games too but these guys don't buckle under pressure ever.

Ruler is insane, GenG is insane. Chovy is just doing magic with gathering gold on the map.
Also: there haven't been more pentas on a single champion in a single year (or ever) than on Zeri, right? Shouldn't that be a sign of how absolutely bonkers moronic the design is?

She has become the new standard ADC because she has no real weaknesses, she can kite and reposition like no other champ. There is also the problem that enchanter supports (Yuumi and Lulu) turn her into a 700 MS hypercarry. I've watched too many pro games now where the solution to beating her is to catch her team (don't bother trying to kill Zeri, she runs Cleanse, Shieldbow and has Lulu/Yuumi ult to let her survive until she vaults over a wall). It's not very effective though, she is highest WR ADC in LCK and LPL with a proper sample size.

So I kinda spaced out... all year when it comes to esports. What's the Korea v China situation looking like?

If T1 and GenG don't show up, its over for LCK. GenG looking absurdly dominant though, moreso than T1 in spring.

There are numerous scary LPL teams, but I expect at least one of them to crash and burn. My favorites atm are RNG and TES, but the top 4 are fairly close in skill and there's a chance WBG and EDG end up being a dark horse in play offs. LPL will clap anyone not T1 or GenG.

What makes LPL so scary this year is that the players who joined 2-4 years ago have now fully matured, and can finally compete with top tier veterans like Xiaohu and Rookie. All 4 teams basically have nobody pulling them down, hence why they annihilate the rest of the league.

Sad moment for League. The person that devs and curates Leaguepedia isn't being recontracted and is leaving wiki management altogether.

Fandom wikis suck, when they changed the link I couldn't use it for a while because they would clear the page when you had ad block. But it's the place to go because the community actually keeps it up to date. Maybe Riot can step in finally?
