Elk trolled so many games this tournament. Even the stuff you can look at outside of the game like builds he trolled. I wouldnt put him above Berserker. I wouldnt put him above Hans either but they're probably pretty close
@Joseph-mj1wk i don't remember hans doing anything that aggregious this tournament. Miky kinda trolled him this series. Im not even saying Hans is better than Elk tbh. Elk just played significantly worse. It probably doesn't help that Hans is also an already established name
@@aircatcher6891 elk has trolled many fights, but he has also carried many games. Western adcs dont have to skill to be ruler but also doesn’t take enough initiative to make an impact.
G2 lost fair and square. Sucks the west are so bad this year, but it is what it is. C9 being the hope for the west is not reassuring but its all we have left.
the west has always been the weaker team. even in the 'good' years where EU stood a chance, it was never a stomp 3-0 against eastern teams. they still had to fight tooth and nail. nothing new here, but cant wait for lck vs lpl. gonna be a banger. dont support countries, support good players :) the players make the team
@@tidus7081 while people should support players. Regional success being on repeat is also a fact. Maybe something we can learn from coaching or supporting new talent. Lpl has seen so many new promising players emerge year after year and the west is grinding with players on the verge of retirement.
@@Laine_SH fr man. There may be a good chance that there just isn't as much of a talent pool to pick from in the LEC and LCS, but I remember Rekkles or some pro-player once saying that you have a much higher chance of getting into pro play if you have connections. The same could be for LPL and LCK but they actually take care to foster new talent. Not to mention that whatever talent stays, its because they perform well and consistently. In the LEC, the rookie players that stayed that I can name off the top of my head are Trymbi, Targamas(to an extent), Adam, hopefully Yike after this, and szygenda. Meanwhile, you look at T1 in LCK and that's easily 4 rookies that found success. What the west need to do now is take risk with new talent from academy teams while keeping 2-3 veterans for experience. No more "super" teams. The work culture of the players need to change as well. I'm not talking about only league and no life, but rather coaching staff need to be way more hard handed with their players when they make mistakes etc. Its been proven many times how important momentum and morale is in E-sports, as well as team chemistry. If management focuses on that and players genuinely try to get better to aim for internationals, the west could start making semis again at the very least.
@@darrenkimberly2648 fully agree. For idk how much longer league esports will last. I hope the west can find some success sometime internationally. All the drama with the orgs definitely don’t help.
yeah he had all the time in the world, 4 people clumped up and flash. I cant believe how a proplayer at that level can tunnelvision that hard and ulti only aphelios instead of 4 people in that situation with the easiest and most straight foward combo in the game, they kill at least 3 easily. Not the only play where caps and g2 failed horrendously mechanicaly. Arguably the windwall at baron in the first game, the hans no flash or miky ultimates in third game could be worse
@@Sn-no7us my guy caps solo killed nearly every other top mid in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and always played off meta and is the only western player to make two world finals in a row. But yeah I’m sure he just got lucky with team mates two years in a row.
Unsure why reven is coping the entire time. Yes elk plays over aggressive, wastes flash a lot, but at least he plays proactive and puts the game in his hands in this jungler/adc meta. The last fight in the last game he straight up got flash e’d by gragas and then r’ed into caps ult range. Wtf is he supposed to do there? Sit so far back behind his entire team and output 0 damage, which is what hans was doing entire series? Elk straight up out damaged Hans every game this series
I understand that Elk isn't as good as Ruler, Peyz and Guma, but he is close and still really fucking good. Better than all of the western adcs regardless.
He saw Gragas on that river bush the entire time, still hovered wall in range of gragas E+Flash, and failed to reactively flash gragas ult. He made 3-4 big mistakes in this one sequence alone, and that pattern has happened all of MSI. I'm an LPL fan myself, but some of you guys simp for the most mediocre players.
Game 1: G2 has big draft gap g2 should win. BLG wins Game 2: No way G2 can come back from this. G2 wins Game 3: Game is over it’s too hard for BLG to win. BLG wins
BB threw that game 1 so hard. How do you hold gragas ult for so long on so many teamfights? That baron play was supposed to guarantee a win but he threw his cask onto no one and I don't see anyone pointing it out, they could've lived there had he pressed R and not allow wukong inside the pit.
i agree but the windwall is 10 times worse than the cask imo. caps walled at the worst time and angle, literally just pressed W for fun without a single thought in mind. Plenty of super basic mechanical mistakes from g2 idk. In game 2 on the toplane dive they missed like 4 abilities, caps missed w+q combo and then another q, also ultied into the zhonnyas and miky missed horrendously the tornado against a standing target. Then in game 3 hans didnt flash the charm and miky ultied horrible, not only in that play but also a couple of times before
It's funny that LS always is wrong with his predictions. In Game 1 he said "G2 will win" and they lost, then he said "G2 has no chance of coming back" and they won game 2, then in game 3 he says "G2 is actually going to win this game" and they lost xD
I have no idea who reven even is. I understand critiquing the gameplay of players but one of them just seemed so arrogant and flaming elk as if they are better. Hurt to listen to.
Someone should really explain how yasuo works to pro players they have the skill to play him but they lack th mechanical knowledge. Someone needs to tell them that they should never immediately ult a knocked up enemy yasuo r can still be casted right when the enemy make contact with the floor by delaying cast you prolong the cc same thing when gragas ult people into you they shouldn't r immediately just wait for gragas ult to push them max range to you pr tower than ult to prolong cc and damage out put.
agree, the windwalls and instant ultimates on a single target were pretty bad. With that many high level yasuo onetricks in all servers it´s hard to believe this level of play on the champ by skilled pros
Game 1: Holy shit G2 are losing in the stupidest way possible Game 2: OMG I'm so happy I'm not one who's put a cent on BLG Game 3??? PSA: This is not a dumb reditlike "joke", I'm actually curious how this series pans out based on 1,65 games watched 🐫
Well he supports lck first obviously, then he’s literally friends with and well connected with most western teams so he supports them next, then lpl. Every streamer has an order ls just happens to have lpl at the bottom. If you want someone who roots for lpl there are plenty of other streamers.
@@willmollard9078 lol none of the English-speaking streamers root for LPL. They can respect them like IWD does, but they won't root for them. That's just the sad truth of the political landscape affecting all aspects of life. However, if OMG makes it to Worlds... this can change.
@@silent-v1896 ? They were literally 1 summoner away from winning a game and stole game 2. If half the games played are close on who wins it’s clearly not a 3-0.
Caps is great but isn't the same from 2019, G2 tries to maintain the same style that Caps did with Jankos cuz Caps is kinda used to play like this (imo thats why G2 took a while to fit the roster).

That mess up my Brokenblade cost them game three so bad. I dont know if he fat fingred and was trying to flash stridbreaker E, but him messing them up and SWing lost them the game, and from their they just lost momentum
they all inted - yike got caught out, didn't play for yasou game 1 and missed some major maokai ults, hans got caught game 3 and inted game 4, Hans/miky stunted caps game 2 early game so hard, caps messed game 3 annie up and the windfall game 1 wasn't good, BB messed up game 3 as well getting caught in bush before drake and was useless game 4.. 3 of them failed flash or to escape in that baron ace game 1... BLG counter inted a lot but elk usually ints after putting down sooo much damage on aphelios whereas some of G2s ints game at the back of doing nothing, outputting no serious damage before it happens
BB stopwatch wasn't thr problem. It was hans sama getting caught by the flash charm. Hans is the MOST IMPORTANT G2 player in that game but he didn't flash away and got charmed. All of them played bad in that moment but Hans played the worst.
@@Bloo1_ True but without brokenblade doing that they would not have been able to go in. He basclly self cced himself and him being their only front like with him out the way was a green light to just go all in.
@@drectanbns266 Bro did we even watch the same game? Hans was in range of a flash charm. Brokenblade was so far how in the world would he stop that engage? It was Hans who walked up to Ahri to auto.

I get that you want to say that Brokenblade misplayed really hard, but why are we blaming a top laner when the adc goes in range of a charm flash??????
@@Bloo1_ Again..If BB is their and is not swed if ahri goes in she gets instantly pulled by darius and killed then you have given Jinx, and Veigo resets to chase down your team. HE WAS THEIR ONLY FRONT LINE the only reason he could go for that and know he would not die was becasue darius was not their...How are yall not understanding that if Ahri goes in with darius around she dies and the team fight is lost even if you kill jinx if darius and veigo get resets your fucked. BB fucked that fight hes their front line his Job was to always be head of Hans and rather then do that he left hans, and then SW so he was not even able to maybe turn the play around.
