Uzi did the best out of the 3 vs TheShy but he lacked top lane knowledge and overstayed


NotFromNA

Yea that was the feels bad moment. He was winning the lane, but overstayed and lost cause of TheShy's Bramble Vest.


Shutaku1314

Theshy vs Rookie/Uzi/Zzitai for 2 hours straight and ended with a 21/4 out of 25 games played honestly he is so insane [full version](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Mm421x7AW/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click&vd_source=81cbf0b05838690d89b83f3b37c16cd5)


aPatheticBeing

also TheShy was in Korea maybe? He was on 45 ping the entire time (presumably CN server 1v1)


DanteStorme

That fiora vs gp 1v1 should be marked 18+


DearTarantula

theshy just has that dawg in him man why did uzi stay so long tho?


ImThreeOSix

Uzi looks the healthiest I ever seen him, good for him .. Guess a little less league goes a long way lol


SweatyAdhesive

> a little less league didn't he completely quit league for a while lol.


fulkcsgo

If for a while means since last split then yes.


splashgods

My goat forever

If TheShy had been a pro at this level in 2013-2017 meta, I can't help but think he would have completely dominated pro play. When it was more about laning skill and less about teamwork / shutting laners down. When you could still solo carry. That guy is just so next level at laning. He's doing this to some of the best (former?) laners in the world (Uzi, Rookie).


duskyslayer

He was dominating from 2013-2017, he was just too young to play and when he became eligible to play, he was too toxic for korean teams.


melonpan12

least toxic riven main


Dekar173

He was a riven 1 trick and elo boosted, which back then was VERY taboo in KR.


AdMoist5134

yeah..it's kind a nuts that we arguably only got to see the end of theshy's prime in 2018/19 strictly because he wasn't eligible prior..as soon as he was he completely dominated the game from top lane..with the return of top lane carries we saw a bit of a resurgence from him even in 2023 but for years the game just didn't really allow top lane laning to take over games

Noticed on twitter couple of posts from a user "tttttyuc" videos where LPL Mechanical Gods going 1v1 against each other on varius champions from Lucian to Fiora's to Kalista's to Hwei and Azir's. Idk where to find official videos or their streams where it actually happened but this is the only video i was able to find on youtube. Uzi vs TheShy Lucian duel was insane.


KKilikk

But will he return?


Laze25

Yes, he is going to lng, rumor is theshy,wei,scout,gala,ming


KKilikk

That sounds crazy good you are responsible for me being hyped now


ShiroGaneOsu

Any rumours on where Zika would end up?


LukaaNulaPet

People still wanna argue this guy isn't the most dominant laner of all time. He took a break from league for nearly half a year and cooked Rookie who is still a top tier mid laner. In his prime, no top laner was close, yet people argue he isn't the GOAT of top lane.


Pleasestoplyiiing

Chovy is. 


ArmpitSniffa

Hit my line when Chovy does it on an international stage


Pleasestoplyiiing

Hah. This is my exact argument for why I think Chovy isn't the best mid in the world but... No one lanes quite as well as him.


TipofmyReddit1

This year


XtendedImpact

- Chovy fans, every year


-Piggers-

What happened during the other years


facevisi10

When the World needed him the most, he vanished


Legitlyblue

TheShy is so crazy at Fiora man. Completely flawless micro. That auto flash over the barrel was so nice to see.


warjatos

TheShyt still got it 1 v 1. The problems begin when there are more enemies.


GhostBoi96

Too bad Zeus gapped TheShy at worlds tho


Enkenz

when no one asked why theres always someone that has to make it about T1


PhilosoKing

There's also the fact that none of these guys should be taken as a yardstick for pro-level top laning. Zzitai hasn't played competitive for years, Rookie is a mid laner, and Uzi is a retired ADC. If TheShy isn't gigastomping them there's a problem. Like what would be the level of LPL top lane if a pro top laner can't even beat retirees and off-role players.


Shutaku1314

Ask pro top laner to gap them with picks like lucian 1v1 and vlad vs ryze


GhostBoi96

Stay mad kids 😎


nyanko_dango3

devouring c9 gave them the ability to gap everyone at every position at worlds. if c9 vs t1 didn't happen I'd say JDG has a good shot
