yeah it was a really dumb pick. 100% useless in team fights, even after he won a lane he shouldn't win.

their botlane were walking bags of gold, faker's leblanc isn't any normal leblanc otherwise I'd agree that it was a silly pick, it is utterly ridiculous how much he did in that game.


what did he do, exactly? waveclear? buy a mejais and do some damage to alistar? it didn't work. the comp was really bad. even if bang played better, what was the win condition? swap sivir somehow and give faker the kill? it's a comp with bad team fighting, no waveclear/siege, no real late game. it's snowball or bust. I guess they used a similar comp in game 4, but this one was just worse, and EDG was ready for it. credit to them, even if the salt here will never let them have it.

He bullied his lane, he forced a multitude of skillshots that would've hit pretty much any other midlaner considering how dangerously and forcefully he played. Also, we are talkinga about performances, not pick/ban/win condition, even if we were, isn't that the third consecutive game wolf goes 1/7? Hard to carry man.


he dodged skill shots in lane (he got hit by some too), ok, great, but every team fight that mattered (besides the one he wasn't in) he got hit by the bind and had to cleanse and back out. and no we're not talking about performance. you said it wasn't a silly pick "because it's faker." that's a pretty dumb thing to say, and it clearly wasn't true.

The thing is though
China isnt the strongest region
Yes they won MSI, but they won it 3-2 and it wasnt too decesive.
Heres what will decide who wins worlds
NAs best hope lies with TSM not fking up, TL not fking up, and C9 mixing in with new mid
Eus best hope lies with super agressive playstyle (OG FNC and UOL mayb GMB with forgiven)
Wildcard is screwed
SEA needs to not depend on mid, as this worlds there will be too many good midlaners to have ur main carry be a mid laner
And KR and lpl
I expect the same matchup in finals of worlds tbh
Tips for KR- skt would have won that game had wolf and bang played passively. Skts only weakness as shown by msi is early game
If they either fix that or learn to play passive EDG doesnt stand a chance. However that is very hard to master
Gj on edg for winning. China however isnt the strongest. They barely won 3-2, so worlds could still go either way. EdG needs to get smarter drafts to put them ahead early so they can use that great early to win.
My power rankings for the world
1.EDG/SKT- either could have won that last game, need to be more decisive to show whos better. If deft doesnt show up like he didnt when they played skt in group stages thats bad
2. CJ/ LGD- if LGD lost 2-3 to EDG, i expect them at semis in worlds. Cj might choke as usual, but they usually do well in new patch
3. Other regions gotta step up not very decisive (we will see as time goes on)

Ripperonis faker leblenk, at least he's still got riven :>

He was the mvp of this game, he pulled absurd weight to try and keep SKT just one more minute in the game, their bot lane is just garbage.

Pawn also got utterly dominated.


can we ease up on the dick riding for at least a few minutes.

not really dick riding, that's what factually happened.

I'm not even much of an SKT fan, I just root for the underdogs, which they were.


He didn't get dominated. He never even died. He contained Faker and kept him at his turret at opportune times while also being more important during team fights. Pawn es numero uno.


you dont really play LoL do you


? He's right.


Having a 30-40cs lead is getting outplayed and he landed what? a single dark binding meanwhile Bang ate 18 of em and Wolf just didnt wanna win the game

Also Morgana is a counterpick to LB and anyone that is above Silver would know that

^faker was supposed to shit on mid or other lanes which he didnt manage to do i agree they expected lb pick and had prepared strategy against it, edg outplayed them + wolf sucked

sorry but ~30 cs advantage against your lane counter is shitting on mid sir

It's not a lane counter. Morg has no kill pressure on lb in lane and morg's wave clear works against herself in lane. It's a teamfight counter.
Anyway, champions like morg eve are not picked for a reason. They are weak in raw power. We should respect the team who makes them work.

Watch the game again, I lost count of how many skillshots were dodged during teamfights, that's wasted damage which could've been capitalized on if SKT's secondary damage dealers didn't shit the bed and nautilus weren't so starved that he got three-hitted.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Morg is a counterpick in that she shouldn't ever die in lane to LB, and can farm safely in that lane.

LB can outplay morg much more than morg can in that matchup, and can also play aggressively.

Faker did the best with what he was given, the bot lane was just way too heavy.

BTW Faker had bigger teamfight presence (suprisingly) even when all pawn has to do is flash r to complete his role.
Faker bullied a lane that shouldnt have been bullied
Out csed a champ thay should not be out csed
Had bigger teamfight presence than a champ that should have had much bigger
That was a faker leblanc because no one in the world could have done as well as he did, even pawn could not have done that well.

The most interesting thing in this MSI was that the days of peeling ranged supports seem to be over. No Jannas. No Namis. No Morganas. No Lulus.

Only hard engageing supports, primarily the tanky ones (but also Annie).

I feel like Koro would have been MVP if he didn't get blasted in game 4.

was it retarded to pick leblanc into such a lineup? Yes. Was faker's performance on leblanc absolutely beyond this world given the circumstances ? Yes. That's all.
