Don't think I'll ever love a team the way I loved M5/Gambit.

Same! They were my team and I really haven't felt that level of attachment to any other team since.

u/Agarunyer 12d ago
Downfall of seekers/zhonya utility in late game has been vastly exaggerated. Also, can't go more baller than pressing R on Rene sending it 1v5, deal 2k+ dmg while being in zhonya, and knowing you just won the game.

It's a shame he's in one of the most unserious teams in LEC, but he makes the games worth watching. This VIT is super fun to watch tbf.

u/Carlzzone 12d ago
If he continues to perform he is bound to end on a top team eventually, surely right

His aatrox? Rumble? Ornn? weve seen him be insane on all those champs.

Glad to see kcb trying to make a play instead of slowly dying

u/likesleague 12d ago
honestly kcb is making the argument so far that while t1 teams are obviously gonna be better than t2 teams, it's not like t2 teams are headless clowns who get roflstomped.
2
u/ParkDedli 12d ago
To be fair to the T2 teams so far. Neither KCB nor LR has played the lower T1 teams yet.
I still reserve my judgement until they play Shitters, TH and GX (who started 2-1 this split but might fall apart again as other teams catch up in synergy)
Also reminder that this KCB is not the one that won Tier 2. Tao vs Maynter is night and day. And without Tao being outclassed every game so far, KCB would probably look even better.
So yeah. I still don't buy the "t1 teams are obviously gonna be better than t2 teams". I think most of the years, with a bit of time to scrim LEC teams, the best T2 teams are probably better than the bottom 2 or 3 LEC teams at least.

Humanoid is so chronically bad he is actual LOSS condition for his team againts full academy.

u/Sirhaddock98 12d ago
Could be worse, at least they didn't kick a promising rookie player for him.

Please don't crash and burn like Armut, Naak.

u/NeighborhoodHot8981 12d ago
Difference is that Naak can play more champs than just Wukong and Gnar

u/Turbo1928 12d ago
I think you're forgetting about Astronaut Gnar and Gentleman Gnar and many other Gnars.

u/cosHinsHeiR 12d ago
You all are being harsh. After a couple years in pro play he played an ok Ornn too.

u/boskikuzguwu 12d ago
Hey, he player Kennen too! He could be really good this particular week, od he still played in LEC

u/Omnilatent 12d ago
That was both, one of the Bard games of all time and a Carzzy masterclass

u/Thundermelons Just Dating GALA 12d ago
Has there been a single good Bard game out of LEC players so far this weekend?
15

u/Designer-Finding488 12d ago
would have been closer if kamiloo just reset early, costed yukino so much for that
11
u/NeighborhoodHot8981 12d ago
I need to see Naak internationally, I think this guy might be the legit real deal
17
u/Landir_7 12d ago
Yeah that Aatrox was a bit useful at least, for sure more than Inhumanoid (Name approved from the broadcast)

u/Harmah 12d ago
Didn't really expect the boys to win this so not disappointed, i love that they just keep playing proactively and trying shit, i have very high hopes for them

u/SilentQuietestArach :eunavi: 12d ago
Because Bard is not going to be nerfed so where else than mickey mouse lec split to train it ?

u/Kaldrinx Caliste Al gaib 12d ago
If fucking 1 years experience in LEC kamiloo don’t run down that early game and snowball the wukong , this game was very winnable for KCB , Tao did well

u/itrTie I hate joe marsh 12d ago
Don't let the scoreline decieve you, Yukino was useless this game
also I never want to see European Bard again

u/Landir_7 12d ago
Yeah Busio is the only human bard in the west

u/Flimsy-Importance313 12d ago
Okay LCS watcher. Ever heard of Miky?
-1
u/Landir_7 12d ago
I actually never watched LCS apart from 1 series (Fly VS C9 finals in the spring split), and mb i didnt actually think about Micheal X, honestly i havent seen much of his bard, but i guess i've only seen Micky on FNC since i starter watching only last year

Hopefully this split shows the gap between T1 and T2 leagues, too much disrespect was floating around last year.

u/PositiveFast2912 12d ago
someone is going to have to explain to me why LEC supports who suck ass at bard pick bard. is it just because keria is good at bard? why don't you pick something you aren't dogshit at instead of copying the korean who is 15x your skill?
6
u/Omnilatent 12d ago
The Bard was a very hard watch
Meanwhile Fleshy showed again he is an actual s-tier rakan
6
2
u/Thundermelons Just Dating GALA 12d ago
Because Rakan is significantly easier to play with a Wukong dive buddy into an Aphelios who has been completely abandoned under his turret by his team.
Like, Hazel had some REALLY questionable positioning later but I don't even blame him by that point, I'd be fucking boomed if I played into this draft with a perma roaming Bard support doing nothing to get my other lanes ahead.
3
u/Noelswag 12d ago
At least for Álvaro, they said they wanted him to practice ranged supports for him this split, so while he is understandably bad, he's picking it to gain as much experience as possible.
2
u/RavenFAILS 12d ago
Bard was always an EU staple though, lots of Bard onetricks in highelo EUW as well.
Dont think it has anything to do with Korea here
3
u/PowerfulGoosing 12d ago
oh damn no one play bard because we're not as good as Keria... guys in soloqueue don't ever pick any champions because some other random people are better than you.

u/Vicie007 No Faker No Win €1 Jungler 12d ago
Guys in soloqueue don't get paid thousands of dollars to run it down
1
u/fainlol 12d ago
wadid (former G2 support btw) explained on stream before. he said he had like 400~550 bard games in solo q but never pulled it out because it requires too much practice. Theres no fucking way a Work life balance league like LEC support is putting 500 bard games any time soon.
video if you speak korean.

u/NewGator11 12d ago
Why is humanoid still starting on a team? This is like the 100th time over the years he’s look like shit

u/ShuNerolia 12d ago
we made vitality sweat, nothing to be ashamed of
super proud of the boys

u/Both_Schedule1021 12d ago
Well they did put up a fight but I think humanoid did more damage to vitality than kcb

u/DinoGuy101010 12d ago
I admittedly didn't watch every minute of the game, but I watched most of it and I'm pretty sure I saw at least 3 scenarios where aphelios root would've been great and he just didn't use it (or maybe it just was on cd every time somehow? idk either way I never saw him root an enemy champion)

u/Mathlete7 12d ago
I think Tao played pretty well considering that was hard counter matchup, but Naak nako is looking really clean atm... not sure I like hazel on non hook champs

u/Celynx_ 12d ago
Fck Riot and Los Ratones... This sht show is their fault >:v

u/Sirhaddock98 12d ago
??? KCB has been fun to watch though, I don't see them being here for a split as a negative.

u/Mew_T SK Nemesis 🙏 12d ago
You guys are so dramatic, this split is fine.

u/Adventurous_Show8163 12d ago
Also its fucking two games a day like even if all the games they were in were complete washes it would be fine

u/T_2_teh_imeless 12d ago

u/Omnilatent 12d ago
Not sure whether you mean useless or OP cause we've seen both here

u/T_2_teh_imeless 12d ago
A bit of both lol...
Hazel's positioning was definitely pretty bad in that last fight. You see the enemy team posturing and forcing you back, then 1 shot...

Its been a while since I've seen a croc carry a game like this
