At this point he's gotta be a paid saboteur, the question is who is paying him.

Game 3 Nongshim vs Liiv Sanbox was an absolute banger for anyone who missed it.

Will check it out. I just want to mention I really appreciate the skeleton crew of diehards keeping this forum from losing its pulse, and because I don't have the time to check out every game from every region, these recommendations are a true blessing!

I prefer getting a response once a month here over the bs that gets spewed over on reddit, especially because my last experience (I think 3 years ago?) I got attacked by one of the super users who have nothing better to do that 'strongly' disagree with any dissenting opinions. Also, I know some of our balance complaints are a bit whiny, but it's so tame compared to r/lol.

This week perfectly described AF: beat DK for a shot at ending the split 3rd/4th, only to lose against DRX, the worst LCK team by a hilarious margin.

true but they then lose to NS which doesn't help their chances

Losing to NS would normally be OK, they are looking like the best LCK team right now. The problem is HLE desperately needed to win that game to make playoffs, because they are 2 wins behind AF and only have 3 more games to play.

does anyone actually care about hle making playoffs? i dont think even the most hardcore chovy or deft fans would really care because the chances of them winning any series in playoffs is pretty much zero. theyre not winning lck or going to worlds anyway.
i just feel sorry for chovy. he got trolled by sword in a serious team and griffin had to squander a good chance at worlds, then he moved to 2 teams that didnt have teammates that could keep up with him.

Biggest disappointments for me this season were HLE and JDG, 2 teams that people expected to be contenders but instead are basically out of playoffs. I'm hoping that both teams either restructure hard or the top players go somewhere better. For example, I expect big offers from LPL for Chovy, especially with rumors that Rookie is finally retiring and RNG needs an upgrade. Or imagine if Chovy went to LNG to play with tarzan again

personally im hoping chovy stays in korea. the thing i really respect about faker is how he decided he wanted to build his legacy in a korean team as a korean player, despite china offering huge amounts of money.
chovy probably wont get that opportunity at t1 for a short while but hes undoubtedly the next great korean midlaner and i think the showmaker vs chovy rivalry would be incredible to watch if both stay in korea in successful teams.

I just want to see Chovy succeed, and I don't think he will get a realistic chance in LCK. I doubt NS, T1, DK want a new mid laner, heck even GenG might be happy with BDD. LPL has a lot of free spaces in the top teams.

I'm always torn when it comes to the players in LCK. On the one hand, I want to see them succeed wherever that is, but on the other hand I don't want LPL to just siphon all of the great LCK talent and leave LCK a shadow of its former self. Even if that shadow is still 2nd/3rd best region

Man, I thought that the GenG rookie was a good upgrade that the team needed (he's so aggressive!), but then Rascal subbed in and destroyed game 2.

And yet, neither of them could carry GenG to a win. Even Mountain Soul and Elder couldn't win them the game, just straight up outclassed. And with that loss GenG is now 5th.

Last week of LCK is going to be spicy. There's a real chance that Sandbox, Nongshim, T1, GenG and Damwon are all 12-6. Sandbox should beat KT, so if they lose to Damwon both would be 12-6, T1 should beat Hanwha and be 12-6. Nongshim have DRX and GenG, so a 1-1 is possible unless GenG continues to slide hard. GenG should be able to beat Fredit too.

Already one part of the hypothesis wrong. LSB losing to KT.

Yeah I didn't take into account that KT ruins everything forever

What a messy 3-0 by T1, but they are probably still glad that they can even win series with that kind of score.

Yep, choices for r2 are out and they avoided DK so that's good!
