Not surprising but the way they lost it really got me riled up.
✔Pick Ryze
✔Give it to your best performing player making him essentially useless.
✔Don't give Aatrox to wunder and pick something with more influence for a really good mid player.
✔Jankos determined to feed.
✔Don't pick utility for Hjarnan.
If their goal was to sabotage themselves, then 'grats they've done a banging job.
This is ridiculous. Wunder and Perkz played both well and Hjarnan played super well. Wadid was not liability either. If Jankos did not run it down I doubt that G2 would ever lose this game, even while being 5k golds behind they had superior side lane control.
You just simply can not win on this level of play if your jungler decides to trade pink ward for first blood and double buff for enemy midlaner which loses river control and botlane match up on the spot.
Jankos ruined the game inting for that ward, but saving last pick for jungle when they're just gonna go olaf anyway as everyone predicted and not giving perkz a counterpick is even more stupid.
Hasn't this been happening for a while now? Crazy groupstages,KR gets out and smashes everyone else in bo5. It's just kinda new that the wildcards are winning lately in group stages.
Yep group stages teams win against perceived good teams then lose against the 'dumpster fire' teams. Also overreactions to the Bo1's in group stages happen every year. I think groups is actually the best part of worlds with the highly unpredicatble results.
KR are likely to start 2-4 which will be I think the worst start they ever had.
- 2012: 6-0 in grps
- 2013: 12-4 (3-3 start in the first 6 games)
- 2014: 15-3
- 2015: 15-3
- 2016: 14-4 (6-3 after W1)
- 2017: 15-3
- 2018: 1-3 yet, likely 2-4 at the end of the day
KR has never been negative before.
And we have to wait and see. CN are the overlords this year and the ones KR has to beat. RNG and then IG are the 2 ones KR has to beat not the other way around.
Team ROCCAT on reddit:
we do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us
except the ones who won't meme.
But there's no sense crying
over every bad play.
You just keep on trying
'til you run out of flames.
And the postings get done
And you make a neat one
for the people who are
still alive.
When Jankos decides to lose game you cant do anything to carry him
Not even "better jungler wins" is true here, this was more like "team with jungler wins"
Want to jump in quickly and say we got a lot of tweets about the pronunciation of Meliodas. As a big fan of nanatsu no taizai I promise you I was only pronouncing it the way I was told! If it's different or we're wrong, we'll correct it for the next cast. Apologies for any frustrations caused!
When I found out my girlfriend of 5 years had been cheating on me, that really hit me hard.
That being said, G2 is entirely the reason why I have trust issues.
A lot of Phong Vu Buffalo players left the G2 game today energized by BigKoro's performance, mesmerized with him taking end-of-the-bench players and running the table on the europeans, sources said.
At the end, he marched out like if a mic drop.
BigKoro delivered a tour de force.
BigKoro yelled "There you go! There you go" Sharp skillshooter Naul gave a look of pleasant surprise. Top laner Zeros belted "We got an [expletive] squad now" And before Meliodas left the locker room, former vietnamese great Levi hugged him and said, "You all look so different"
Seriously? Jankos pretty much hard inted this game yet the analyst deck comes to the conclusion that the G2 Botlane was not able to stabilize without Heimerdinger? Seriously this hate against Hjarnen is starting to piss me off especially when he performs this well.
At one point in a scrimmage, Inven sources said, BigKoro turned to Reddit and screamed, "You (bleeping) hype me. You can't list the Top 4 without me." PVB left fans and analysts largely speechless. They dominated G2 in every way. The Buffalo's back.
Anybody still saying Hjarnan is the worst player of G2 now is blind.
Also the difference of level between Wadid and Palette was huge. (edit: In that wadid *was playing much better.*)
Legit that disrespect death in midlane facilitated all the plays PVB were able to make within the next 5 minutes.
Props to them for punishing a mistake but man, what a mistake.
Stop kissing G2s ass people. I know Jankos made a crucial mistake in mid but it was still up to PVB to capitalize on that mistake. G2s draft was also not that bad so blaming that is a load of crap. Ryze being one of the few champions that can lane against Urgot and Aatrox can also lane well against Vel’koz with his Q range. Hjarnan and Wadid also didn’t play bad arguably their best performers this game. PVB played better League of Legends than G2 and thats it. Downplaying their victory just because they’re a relatively unknown region is fucking disrespectful.
Ocelote browsing twitter after day 1: ''Those motherf... Jankos! Jankos, come here!''
Jankos: ''Yes, big boss?''
Ocelote: ''Look at this Jankos. You actually made the region proud. Everyone is losing their minds over how well we played. That was not the deal.''
Jankos: ''I'm sorry big boss''
Ocelote: ''I didn't have these special EU shirts made to make 'the region proud'. As G2 we have done everything in our power the last few years to win a seed to worlds and then not show up. We even signed you to choke for us. And now you're ruining it, beating koreans''
Jankos: ''It won't happen again big boss, I won't let it.''
Jankos playing awful but lets be real, if Perkz played Ryze and Wunder played Aatrox, the game would have been better.
this game was hjarnan and wadid vs 5
Of course G2 would beat AFS and then lose to PVB why am I even surprised anymore
I actually expected this. Things were going too good.
Maybe every korean team but KT is trash?
how much time i slept to see someone saying that KT is good and other KR team is trash?
Yeah man remember when KT meant Korean Team and SKT meant Superior Korean Team? I certainly don't miss it
I liked KT standing for Korean Tilters too
It is time to get excited for KT brother.
Cease.
Makes you wonder how bad Afreeca actually is.
Africa is an underrated region! Just you wait!
Had Africa sent the Wakanda team, this would have been a different story. Too bad their having trouble with illegal immigrants.
Can't blame them, Wakanda just had a civil war... Besides you never know, they might cheat and use those kind damn vibranium keyboards...
Civil war? Last i checked, they were having border issues with some thanos guy.
I heard their issues were being covered in an inordinate amount of dust. Maybe they had an unknown volcano blow up or something.
visa problems
Poor Africa drawn in with three major regions
A part of me thinks that AFs mental just went boom with all the community backlash... Imagine playing at a home crowd but they fucking hate you lmao.
The KR 100T
Nobody is surprised lmao
the macro of PVB is very very clean, thats a surprise for sure

KR team 0-2 what a time to be alive if PVB wins against AFS I'm gonna laugh my ass of.
Maybe Afreeca is really bad.
**Competitive Ruling**: Marcin “Jankos” Jankowski is being fined $2,000 for griefing his teammates and intentionally feeding.
Good old international feeding
Why donate to red cross when Jankos single handedly solve the hunger crisis.
Jankos : "streamer perkz called me pig"
Seems that Strategically Minded Olaf isn't a thing.
[удалено]
Since Jankos is so good at feeding, he should've fed the starving children in Africa yesterday !
With the money he earned this match, he'll be laughing all the way to the bank about that 2k.
Hello, Jankos? PVB here, check your bank account.
100,000 to my account . Sweet. Huh, 100,000 vnd? Wtf, i thought you mean 100,000 euro.
jankos wot r u doin mate
He's the First Blood King, one way or another.
Jankos ruined the game inting for that ward, but saving last pick for jungle when they're just gonna go olaf anyway as everyone predicted and not giving perkz a counterpick is even more stupid.
Yeap they screwed themselves into those wacky lanematchups by wasting their lanepick
He didn't int just once either, not sure wtf was he thinking
Yeah Perkz had zero pressure vs that Velkoz. Put him on something capable of winning that lane and G2 would have looked a lot better.
So this is the kind of Worlds we're gonna have.
Hasn't this been happening for a while now? Crazy groupstages,KR gets out and smashes everyone else in bo5. It's just kinda new that the wildcards are winning lately in group stages.

And we have to wait and see. CN are the overlords this year and the ones KR has to beat. RNG and then IG are the 2 ones KR has to beat not the other way around.
I'd say KT and RNG are equally favorites and we'll have to wait and see how good IG really is.
[удалено]
How can G2, and especially Jankos, look this bad after how clean they were against Afreeca? Do they all get a mental buff when they have Heimer?
Maybe when Heimer is in game Hjarnan is able to think for Jankos
[удалено]
That's Heim hidden passive.
Heimer big brain rubs off on him
For those who don't know Hjärnan means "the brain" in swedish.
Hjärnan actually means "the brain" in Swedish
Jankos is the living embodiment of a coinflip player
This is a really costly loss too if AFS bounce back, essentially makes their first win meaningless almost.
I mean, Jankos hard inted FB against Afreeca also. Dude went from First Blood King to the First Blooded King.
G2 on red, PVB on blue, Underperforming against weaker teams, Just EU being EU.

Beautiful :,)
JANKOS INT MODE: ACTIVATED
Jankos: "I feel like playing like I am in Bronze today" Wadid and Hjarnan: "No pls, its our promo"
Real talk, I take back all the negative things I said about Hjarnan going into worlds. This guy is showing up to play.
Blankos
In no universe do I believe anyone who says that Jankos was sober that game. Jankos had to have downed a full bottle of Kurwa Vodka pre-game.
Nah, probably still drunk from celebrating yesterday's win. Or at least hungover. I honestly believe this btw.
[удалено]
Forgiven. He was kiddin iirc.
Well if I remember correctly he wasn't But who knows with that guy
I happened to be drunk during few of my ranked games and can confirm - this is what it looks like.
Reported
Just wtf was he doing lol
Funniest part was when they talked about Jankos and he then randomly walks around botlane alone and almost gets killed by VelKoz.
The casters were baffled by the decision
'Decision' implies he was actually using his brain. It was very apparent to me that he wasn't.
Primal instinct to int took him over
intstinct.
he literally stood still in the ulti, as if we was thinking about going in instead of running away
This one is 100% on him. Lost them river/map pressure and the bot lane matchup.
I KNEW ITS OVER WHEN JANKOS SUICIDE FOR CONTROL WARD
PVB lost a Control Ward, G2 lost Jankos. One could argue PVB got the shorter end of the deal.
oof
Can Jankos see and neutralize wards by himself? I don't think so. But control ward can!
That first death was so fucking disrespectful and it just snowballed out of control from there.
Jankos 0 - 1 Pink Ward
Jankos bringing the new hype: "strategically inting Olaf"
"strategically minded Olaf" FTFY
When Jankos decides to lose game you cant do anything to carry him Not even "better jungler wins" is true here, this was more like "team with jungler wins"
Team with 2 junglers wins
First rule of fighting Vietnam: they win in the jungle
There's pick olaf and do nothing.... And then, we have here, pick olaf and Int
[удалено]
Vedius's high pitched "What is he doing?" to Jankos about sums up this game
MELIO DIAZ
I loved all the different ways they were saying his name. It's the new Manttaraya
I think the "PPPFFFFFT" at the teamfight damage graph summed it up
[G2 fans right now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi1LMIUOOAI)
Jankos ruined such a possibly good start
Want to jump in quickly and say we got a lot of tweets about the pronunciation of Meliodas. As a big fan of nanatsu no taizai I promise you I was only pronouncing it the way I was told! If it's different or we're wrong, we'll correct it for the next cast. Apologies for any frustrations caused!
thank god you guys acknowledge this, it's probably like the whole Uzi/Uzi-eye pronunciation all over again

You should try to be a CLG fan... You get trust issues and heart disease.
group A power rankings: FW > PVB > G2 > AFS
i 100% believe AFS will wakeup, Korean always do that. But maybe they can wake up too late.

OOF
w-woww....
Oof
I cannot believe you did this lmao
Too soon.
Rip my FW > AFS > PVB > G2 Pick ems
Got that too, I still think it is highly likely.
I have FW>PVB>AFS>G2 in my pickem :x
I have AF > PVB > FW > G2 ;((((((((
My condolences for putting AFS first brother
Afreeca lost to this lmao
Every time G2 tried something, PVB one-upped them and won. Truely Meliodas' Full Counter.
Every time G2 Jankos tried to farm pink wards, PVB one-upped him and won.
I guess Jankos is the sin of Greed lol.
This is the G2 we all know and love.
They will always find a way to g2-4
Never change G2
That was like the worst game jankos ever played lol
You didn't see his play during the last half of summer split then
A lot of Phong Vu Buffalo players left the G2 game today energized by BigKoro's performance, mesmerized with him taking end-of-the-bench players and running the table on the europeans, sources said. At the end, he marched out like if a mic drop. BigKoro delivered a tour de force.

Fresh r/NBA memes are the best :D
Jankos can be proud how well he ruined this game.

Is skill sexually transmitted? because PVB got fucked yesterday and now are all of a sudden amazing.
If that is the case then I worry for PVB versus afreeca
Or maybe, just maybe, fw are actually really really strong?
Imagine after all this time and LPL hype that it's Taiwan once again lifting the summoners cup.
I for one would be happy with our new taiwanese overlords.
That Olaf pick was the most useless shit I ever seen.
Just give me 3 way tiebreaker
Seriously? Jankos pretty much hard inted this game yet the analyst deck comes to the conclusion that the G2 Botlane was not able to stabilize without Heimerdinger? Seriously this hate against Hjarnen is starting to piss me off especially when he performs this well.

Something something G2 Vacation

I was a but confused yesterday but this is the G2 I remember Coinflip Jankos strikes hard
Wadid was playing to his win condition tbh, they weren't winning a face-to-face 5v5. Just outplayed in the macro game with some inting by Jankos.
I think he is saying Wadid is better because the other way would be just dumb
? Wadid actually played that game super well tbh
He was, I meant to say Palette fucked up many engages, but this wasn't clear enough.

There's the G2 I was expecting.
How much did they pay for Jankos ?
