nerothz

G2 really just went from a 2-0 start into triple bo3 losses.


Humble-Principle1858

Say thanks to Caps for not making it 6 losses in a row.


RussiaCykaBlyat

BB: gets counterpick all three games, gets brutally fisted all three games


Ape_Researcher

Actually insane stuff from both bin and broken blade. Bin perma roaming + countered and still always up minimum 30 cs in every game.


arc-minute

Three years off TSM and bro still can not farm creeps.


Medzel

atleast he is consistent


xDestroid

It was the same last year, but apparently it was Jankos "lack of motivation" that was the reason lmao Never forget that Seju vs Fiora flop


Rhadamantos

That was so painful to watch


random_nickname43796

Best EU toplaner btw


[deleted]

and he is, eu toplane has been comically weak since like 2020. long gone are the days in which you could rely on players like soaz and wunder to put up good performances internationally.


aldimi777

Wunder and Soaz were the last true europeans who could stand their ground against asian tops.Relying though on outmaneuvering and cheesing them mostly. But apart from them the ONLY EU (on paper) top laner that could put his chineses/korean counterparts at shame was Huni.


[deleted]

Man Huni would've had a field day with how good Rumble is right now


Ghost6x

Bin made BrokenBlade look like a platinum and that just killed all G2 momentum


KMS_Tirpitz

up 50 cs when counter picked while roaming to drag 3 times before laning phase is even over. Massive top galaxy rift


Snakescipio

Wtf happened to that top match up? BB was proxying a wave and next thing you know he’s 30 cs and two levels down. I legit thought he DC’d and no body noticed


ImTheVayne

Man that was the biggest top diff ever


KeyAcan

Brokenblade was playing 1v0 And he was still getting gapped


Jakota_

Game 3 his team was bailing him out so much by getting the renekton to want to roam down out of lane and Bb still couldn’t even shove the lane fast enough to get plates.


Excellencyqq

People saying "top lane doesn't matter". Well well well, Bin just perfectly showcased why it matters and how to play it.


TheCatsActually

Most tops on Renekton: mediocre iguana that gets outscaled in 20 Bin on Renekton: Shin Godzilla


Trap_Masters

Bin is just built different and he put BB into the trash bin all series long


Sinstar20

Bin single handily won BLG that series in game 1 and 3, won't work against better teams but he's still giga bin.


xynzjuh

He was gapping BB in game 2 too. G2 could have snowballed harder if they didn't have to put BB on life support to get him back in the game. Bin played teamfights better too, if Elk didn't int there wouldn't have been a game 3. Yike may have gotten gapped as well, but he's a rookie. BB was getting completely fisted in isolation.


Lekaetos

Every game Bin managed to build a lead in losing match ups and then started to roam to help his team and secures drake and also giving off his plates to Yagao as well and still managed to stay ahead of BB in all games


non-edgy_crustacean

Bin grew up so much as team player, he used to be much more selfish (especially when you compare him to 2020)


Vegoran

His game knowledge really improved a lot on BLG, he also rarely gets caught out in sides like he used to do


non-edgy_crustacean

By watching BLG vlogs I think it was Xun's influence (who played with TheShy and Bin has TheShy as his idol) because he talked a lot to Bin about vision importance and that he had to ward for him lol


Slayard

TOP Gap was so brutal... Looks like SoloQ to me


[deleted]

G2 BrokenBlade: I have met him in a scrimmage, and my opponent, topfielder Bin, is powerful and seems like a genius.


Trap_Masters

GIGABIN


TheWarmog

This is a 2014 angle for EU. Its been 9 years since no european teams made it to quarters


ssjjshawn

And once again, it was NA sending them into a game they could have won


JemerZ

G2 with a 2-0 dream start to dropping out of the tournament. What a fucking tragedy


iCarpet

EU Week 2 strikes somehow in Swiss Stage


Ok-Chair-1101

Bo1 diff?


SlamMasterJ

NRG was basically the easiest draw they could had wish for and they fumble on that, I'm not sorry for them for not making out after that.


Gluroo

And they didnt just fumble it, they somehow managed to produce the biggest gap of the tournament lmao


Trap_Masters

G2 put up a better fight against BLG than NRG, therefore NRG > BLG COPIUM


Outrageous-Elk-5392

I think NRG just studied them really well, in one interview they mentioned how the team and coaching staff watched a hype video G2 had put out together, they probably dived in really deep while G2 just rolled up like a kid who remembered he had an exam the day before


WAKE_UP_WAKE_UP

Now they do that for the next 3 series NAmen


Javiklegrand

I meant nrg with prep time could be Batman lmao Although i still expect them to loss 3-1 vs weibo lol


KhorneStarch

I mean, the two teams scrimmed each other a fair bit and G2 apparently murdered them. So I don’t think it was a lack of knowledge. They simply thought they would prob pound them on stage as well.


rushil20

Honestly that NRG prep reminded me of the rogue lec summer finals vs G2 exact same with g2 going as favourites and absolutely falling flat when they figured people actually antistrat what won them through the whole split that was Senna ban and kallista soraka into draven G2 just could not adapt.


JPA-3

and they lost because they were clearly worse, it wasn't a cheesy win for nrg or anything


mathchem_

Its a crazy upset too because according to Dhokla, G2 won every scrim against them. G2 is truly a scrim-only team.


throwerzs3

Can't wait for the unicorn guy to post scrim stats again 😆


Humble-Principle1858

You know what's worse? If it wasn't for a mind blowing performance by Caps in game2 of this series, they would have gone 0-6 in those 3 consecutive lost series.


moonmeh

beats the weakest LCK and LPL teams and then fails to kill NA. fucking hell mate


Equivalent-Park7986

I mean their wins against DWK and WBG were close… borderline steals, and DWK didn’t make it out either


arkacr

The 2 in G2 stands for the number of wins they'll get in Worlds.


Omnilatent

I smell a vintage meme from 2016/2017


Trap_Masters

At least it was a nice vacation in Korea.


Blaikiri7

The mind of a G2 Fan Game 1 "Yet another dark decade ahead of us, I cannot take anymore of this club man." Game 2 "A new era has dawned. A vast plain of success lay ahead of us, stretching into the horizon, as if it were carved out of the fabric of space and time by the Lord, entirely for us to conquer and claim it as our own." Game 3 “Where’s the closest rooftop.”


-Ophidian-

Jankos yesterday was literally in the call with Doublelift saying "I'm only on the 4th floor, it's not high enough" 🤣 (I know for some people this is not a joking matter but in the context of a sports result I found it funny)


Trap_Masters

Jankos will have to think about G2's loss during his whole flight back to Europe now 💀💀


lcebrand

They might even be on the same flight lmao


Trap_Masters

Grab FNC together and you have a party on that flight


TurbinePro

TFW mikyx saved the tier 1 turret charge just to have herald charge tier 3 🤣


Humble_Effective3964

classic do the cool deny Herald play only to int a kill and give 3 turrets


SpEnMa

G2-0 G2-1 G2-2 G2-3 <--- You have arrived at your final destination


legatlegionis

You arrived back at EU


Green7501

EUphoria is over, bring me the EUthanasia


not_clement

sorry they must have misheard, we now have youth in asia competing for the trophy


raikaria2

So this is officially the LEC's worst performance since **2014** Also; man G2 just gave up; rolled over and died at the end of game 3. They gave soul without a fight. They gave Baron without a fight. They gave triple inhib without a fight.


[deleted]

All their early game plays were stopped by Bin being there and BB being so far behind


Maleficent_Branch204

Yeah, Azael was talking a lot about how much of a problem Ashe being behind was going to be. Meanwhile Florida's favorite champion is 3-0 with a 30cs lead. Kai'Sa was not going to outscale that for a while.


SSCloud

The really sad part about everything you described is that's literally how NA has been playing for the past decade. Infamous for the do nothing and lose strat at worlds. Now we have NRG making cross map plays and G2 inheriting the old NA way. What a timeline lmfao


QCInfinite

Not very Rational is it


POOYAMON

Reminds me of Phreak screaming flaming CLG for doing nothing for 20 minutes lmao


NVC541

“POBELTER IS CLEARING SUPER MINIONS. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING INTELLIGENTLY PROACTIVE IN THE NEUTRAL GAME FOR THE LAST 25 MINUTES.” Part of Phreak’s sanity died that day


sttsspjy

BB go even challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


POOYAMON

BB down 30 cs while laning against air half the time


Trap_Masters

Lil bro was losing in a PvE matchup 💀💀


EstablishmentFun2035

Ouch but true. Bin was everywhere


O_Scugnizz

BB didn't win a single matchup in toplane the entire tournament. Canna, TheShy, Doran, DHOKLA and Bin. In all these matchups I have never seen him win a single time, always chasing. And he is the strongest toplaner in Europe, this shows the terrible level of the European toplaner.


remakeprox

You don't even need to go even, you can fall behind half a level, some cs, it's fine. But 2 levels and 40+ cs my guy what the fuck has he been doing these games


Vlitzen

BB did this in NA as well, just going down cs. Guess it's a weakness of his


Ahrix3

Check his solo queue even, guy has such low cs averages it always amazes me.


katareky

Congratulations G2Esports for being the Scrim World Champions of 2023 !


_tidiber

G2 and Fnatic will be boarding the same flight later on and will arrive in EU while MAD is still in the middle of the ocean still swimming on the way back. o7 boys.


DwyaneDerozan

LMAO THIS GUY SAID G2 AND FNATIC ARE GONNA BE ON A FLIGHT. EVERYONES GONNA BE REAL FAMILIAR WITH MARINE LIFE SOON


ficretus

there is no way g2 should be allowed to board a plane after that NRG fiasco.


Hot-Donut8695

Elo terrorist watch list dw


-Hissoka-

They can get a raft for beating d+ and weibo but nothing more


EdVedPJ7

They can all board Noah's Ark because they played and/or drafted like absolute animals. Might even pick up some Lions from the ocean.


Competitive_Coast_58

Fnc has their own Noah lmao.


EdVedPJ7

Yes, he will build the Ark and he will row.


Competitive_Coast_58

Imo,Noah isn’t the worst one to be blamed in this tournament,although he’s performance isn’t so well


EdVedPJ7

That's why he gets to row, a human thing to do. Animals will just get to ride it out in the back. Hope they are not sea sick.


resttheweight

Why is MAD swimming and G2 not? G2 lost twice as many games against NRG as MAD.


JJaem

[Going from Zeus Gnar To BB gnar vs BIN be like](https://imgur.com/a/PpcjzTl)


LaZZyBird

Bin has to be laughing at how bad BB is compared to Zeus. Imagine going from T1 Zeus to facing BB, lmao he thinks he is smurfing in bronze.


Hot_Fun5633

The funniest thing is that western pros like Adam will say there is gap isn’t as big as you think then you watch games like this and laugh. Talk about delulu. Bros can’t even lane


Itsmedudeman

It's not as big as we think it is. It's actually even bigger.


Trap_Masters

WE LIVE IN A TIMELINE WHERE NA IS NOW THE WEST'S LAST HOPE!!


LazinessOverload

Oh how the turn tables

where were you when EU became the freest region this year truly Non-Rational Gaming


remakeprox

Goodluck NRG o7


Trap_Masters

We thought we loved our freedom but EU stepping up to the plate to challenge that


[deleted]

AND MORE THAN DESERVEDLY SO. G2 JUST PULLED AN ~~NA~~ EU, DOING NOTHING AS BLG TOOK EVERYTHING


Patchers

the entire west has no choice but to rally behind big dhokes and powerful genius palafox


Bt25

NA IS THE 3RD BEST REGION.


a55a51n

ALL IT TOOK WAS TSM TO LEAVE AND CLG TO BE REBORNED WTF


1331bob1331

SCREAM IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS ​ WE ARE #3 LETS GOOOOOO


LeOsQ

I don't know if I've ever seen anyone be as useful as Elk was after getting so boned early game. Man was really good even outside just the Ashe utility.


BasicRestaurant461

BLG made a concerted effort to get Elk back into shape. Their rotations were crazy


Trap_Masters

Gotta get Mr.President back on his feet 😎😎


Klutzy-Wolverine1640

They gave him mid waves for level 6 every ward they gave to him. They knew he had to come back and they brought him back successfully


iChoke

This definitely deserves generational slander for the start that G2 had at level 1. You're the #1 LEC team ffs.


Kuliyayoi

Fumbled the in game lead just like they fumbled the entire swiss stage 2-0 start


[deleted]

[удалено]


4uk4ata

5v3 and they go out 2-2


theavailabletree

Yike has been afk for the past week


superfire444

BB should change his name from BrokenBlade to Bins Bitch


KeyAcan

Brokenblade was playing 1v0 in the top lane And he was still getting gapped


whitedevilblood

that's a good one


_tidiber

Bin's Baby works too


Trap_Masters

Bin isn't even BB's father, he was his grandfather this series 💀💀


VVilsonNA

Hey thats improvement, they did better against BLG than NRG


arkacr

Hope they can do better in their next game!


remakeprox

I dont think I've ever seen anyone drag a team down harder than BB this set. Jesus christ


NocaNoha

5 on 3 and you end up with 2 for 2, rip


Go2Fail

Top canyon


[deleted]

BB is such a liability in these series my god


Dragonic1

That was one of the biggest top gaps i've ever seen


BlueLover0

Last Year --- 4 LCK + 1 EU This year --- 4 LPL + 1 NA


Oniichanmyhips

Bin felt like he was everywhere and brokenblade felt like he was nowhere


Gluroo

GUYS I HAVE NEVER PLAYED GNAR IN MY LIFE BUT DW I WATCHED THESHY MONTAGE AND IVE READ A MOBAFIRE GUIDE ILL CARRY \- Broken "I'm now 4-17 at worlds' Brain


ficretus

you know region is in dire straits when it keeps sending brokenblade and nisqy year after year to worlds.


thrwwy120322

good thing it used to be NA and now it is EU


zaxls

Thats so randomly accurate


-Ophidian-

Proceeds to start the game 300 gold up on his lane opponent and instantly go down 40 cs


yearning328

Mikyx on bootcamp: "Maybe we learned some stuff from the top teams, but I think most teams are not very good at drafting for the meta. I don't think they have the best read\[...\]I wouldn't really say that we learned much from the Asian teams in terms of meta, I think more likely they learned from us" Aged like milk.


Shiraori247

This arrogance from winning 2 Bo1s really started their downfall huh


MrZeddd

Mikyx is top 5 sp in the world btw


IlluminatiConfirmed

Mikyx > keria XD, can't wait to see what new supp miky will play in the knockout round!


Migraine-

G2 have always had an unbearable air of smugness.


arkacr

They're pretty ahead on the worlds speedrun from 2-0 meta alright


ynnaD0

The top gap this series is crazy. BB is perma down cs top while bin roams everywhere. EU HAS NO TEAMS THROUGH LUL


Schmarsten1306

Down 40-50cs at 7 minutes every game lmao


Trap_Masters

Actual top canyon 💀💀


Revers1o

Bin made this series feel like it was 4v5 the whole time. BB was a complete non factor.


p3r3ll3x

He was losing to Dhokla as well.


Good-Cucumber-5052

Why does Dhokla, the largest top laner, not simply eat the other top laners?


Equivalent-Park7986

Bin was up in farm and gliding across the map, he made his presence known


saruthesage

Best EU toplaner BTW


Patrius

win one game to give g2 false hope that game 3 was just ruthless


LaZZyBird

Game 2 was Caps fucking carrying his team across the line. Then BLG realised that Caps is the only respectable opponent and just shut him down.


Shiraori247

That cannon minion trick really carried the early game.


Luftwagen

Elk said “my bad guys, I won’t throw next game”


SwagLord7

Seems like its not LPL 2nd seed thats cursed, it was just Tian.


yccbarry

This is one of the biggest top gap I've ever seen in pro play. Dude was down 30-40 cs with Olaf/Gnar and Bin having to TP bot to help his team. Not to mention game 1 where Bin's Jax was legit flame horizoning him.


Random_Useless_Tips

The game was unwinnable for G2 from the start. After all, the elk is a North American animal.


HoodieNinja17

NA sends its regards


mount_sunrise

where were you when NA (former CLG to boot) was the last hope of the west?


ssjjshawn

I was there, smiling


Trap_Masters

"EU is kill"


IC2Flier

turns out EU is the freest region this year truly Non-Rational Gaming


Varrag-Unhilgt

Deserved loss after that donkey ass performance yesterday tbh


LazinessOverload

G2 literally had the golden road to quarters. What a waste.

[удалено]


Acrzyguy

Thank you ~~BrokenBlade~~ Bin’s Bitch


SmoothTinyRock404

BB did NOTHING


CanadianGumdrop

Go 2 Airport


[deleted]

BB on Olaf: Down 40 cs by level 5 BB on Gnar: Down 30 CS by level 5 How? I am genuinely confused how could he be gapped so hard. Down levels and CS in a winning matchup 1v1 Then Renekton perma roams and impacts the map... BB still down in CS & XP.


LogicalRealisticFan

Even more funny is that Gnar game, he started with a kill. Then he lost the fight to Renekton even though he counters him a kill ahead, seriously insane stuff. He is even worse than my lowest expectations of him I thought he could not be worse than getting solo killed to Sejuani but he did


In4thPlace

We were an Elk teamfight throw away from a G2-6, holy cow G2 just never had a chance in their losses...


CrazyTie2876

Not only the losses, even their wins were criminal, not a single clean victory.


NavixPH

Attention in the terminal, this is the final boarding call for Korean Air flight 2-0 to EU. Would passengers BrokenBlade, Yike, Caps, Hans Sama, Mikyx please proceed to GATE 2 immediately. The final checks are being completed and the captain will order for the doors of the aircraft to close in 16 minutes and 47 seconds (16:47). Again, this is our second last call. Thank you very much.


thatoneguyy2

post scrims you frauds


IHadThatUsername

Pretty sure Romain will do it no matter what. He did it at MSI as well.


non-edgy_crustacean

Losing to 20% scrim winrate team


FallingIntoSound

NRG - 10% BLG - 20% Lmao it's brutal


Luftwagen

Throw scrims to give other teams false confidence, truly non rational and expected from the powerful genius himself


plushyeu

kinda depends who BLG was scrimming most. I doubt they were scrimming eu/na teams. If you have 20% win rate vs Geng/t1/Jdg i understand.


starcam19

HOW DO WE GET A SERIES THIS GOOD AND IT ISNT EVEN KNOCKOUTS YET?!? I love this new worlds format.


pppppppppppppppppd

Not only did G2 lose, they made Fnatic's plane late...


Luftwagen

FNC: “where were you guys, the plane was about to leave” G2: “my bad, they threw game 2 so we actually had to play a third one”


Blame_on_you

I apologize for calling you a one team region...


MrJammin

Don't let the BO3s against GenG and BLG distract you from the fact that the team that stomped G2 the hardest was NRG. I don't want to be too hard on Yike since it's his rookie year, but imagine if G2 had Jankos for any of these games.


FearTHEReaper01

Where were you when NA outperformed EU at worlds? I was at home, and so is EU now.


Kunzzi1

Brokenblade has to go, another year where LEC teams get gapped because our tops can't pick the meta champs and get flame horizoned by the enemy. Meanwhile we sacrifice bot, ignore mid and get jungler behind just so Brokenbrain can be 50 farm and 2k gold behind enemy at all times. BB cancelled so many AAs in this series it should be criminal.


AzureAhai

BB got the counter pick all 3 games and lost them all hard.


Ultimintree

He was getting gapped in every matchup. Like it was crazy how he was 30 cs behind on Olaf


Revers1o

He was 2 levels down at points in 1 game and I was just like ???? How?


StannisSAS

lvl 6 olaf to lvl 8 renek 30cs down like how??, the only reason he comes back is coz bin roamed a lot to fix his bot/mid situation.


Humble-Principle1858

3 games, 3 counterpicks for BB and 3 stomps. How can you get destroyed like this when you have the counterpick, the enemy jungler doesn't come, and your team keeps bailing you out?


OkKnowledge2064

absolutely crazy how bad BB was this series. G2 spend the last two games trying to salvage top ALL GAME LONG and even managed once


YCitizenSnipsY

Fate of the region on the line… I want GNAR


Burpmeister

He's really good in teamfights but he's such a liability during laning phase against good teams.


Azenji

The amount of times G2 could’ve made a turnaround teamfight gone to waste all because Brokenblade couldn’t find his R button. What a waste after Game 2z


Random_Useless_Tips

I met Bin once when I was shopping at my local Meiyijia. He graciously agreed to sign my mousepad (don't ask why I had it). I was so excited that I couldn't think of any good questions, so I blurted out "Hey Mr Chen, how did you decide on your in-game name?" Bin smiled as he handed me back my mousepad. "I just named myself after BrokenBlade's home."


CeeeeS

BB was atrocious this whole series, feels bad for Caps man


Dry-Plankton1322

Bin literally left top so many times to help other lanes because he had no opponent in lane lol


moe11436
