    SKT vs G2 is the most viewed esports match ever at about 4 million viewers

    Posted: 03 Nov 2019 08:29 AM PST

    Its insane how popular this series was and we didnt even go to 5 games. Generally I feel like this world is way more hyped than any worlds before. Sure it helped that the most popular team in SKT played but still insane

    Wolf gets emotional after the G2-SKT game

    Posted: 03 Nov 2019 09:41 AM PST

    https://youtu.be/imsgQCxtGZc

    SKT's former support player, Wolf was casting today's game on his Twitch stream. After the final game, Wolf kept saying "G2 played well... G2 played well..." and suddenly he got emotional and started crying :(

    He seems to be concerned that SKT will get a lot of flack after this game. He keeps saying things along the lines of "Come on SKT played well too..." "This feels too sad...but the players are probably feeling sadder... Please give the players more support than criticism..." "G2 played too good... How are you supposed to beat that?..." "SKT played well... SKT played well..."

    edit: I think I've never seen him be so emotional even at times when he actually lost games on SKT. But now that he's watching games as another fan in front of his computer, I guess we can take a glimpse of players being more honest...

    I was pretty surprised because Wolf usually jokes around criticizing Faker a lot watching SKT games on his stream. It's cool that he's still so much attached to his former team and teammates after all.

    Weibo Reactions SKT v. G2

    Posted: 03 Nov 2019 08:48 AM PST

    https://s.weibo.com/weibo?q=%23SKT%20G2%23&page=2https://s.weibo.com/weibo/%23SKT%E8%BE%93%E4%BA%86%23&page=2

    https://s.weibo.com/weibo/G2%E8%B5%A2%E4%BA%86?topnav=1&wvr=6&topsug=1&page=6

    : Another 3-1, G2 won SKT. G2 is no longer that team that got made fun of by RNG. FPX needs to play with caution.

    : What the fuck was SKT playing today?

    : Unfortunately, the better team does not always win. Congratulations to G2 I guess?

    : Personally, I am not a fan of Perkz or Caps. However, the reality is they won. Congrats G2.

    : Why is nobody flaming Faker? When LPL players perform badly, they get flamed to oblivion. Double standard much?

    : Congratulations to G2 for winning 2nd place at worlds

    : The 3-1 script is going strong. Can we just say FPX 3-1 G2 already? What's the point of actually playing the finals? Waste of time. FPX would win anyway.

    : I don't hate SKT, but I hate Korean bandwagoners. So LCK losing makes me really happy.

    : [I know it's past Halloween, but] I want to share a spooky story: Perkz has 100% WR on Xayah

    : Congratulations to the "Happy team" [G2]! I am looking forward to that Yasuo skin aha

    : I am very happy G2 won today. They are my favourite team outside the LPL. Untiltable.

    : I am glad SKT lost. This is what they deserve for losing in groups on purpose to eliminate RNG. [Yes, many RNG fans still believe that unironically…]

    : Why does Caps look like Mr. Bean

    : Lol at some people in my friend circle. They are never fans of FPX/G2 until they win and then they say, oh I knew all along they were going to win. Is that really necessary?

    : Caps played very well this series.

    : Congratulations to FPX for being world champions 2019!

    : It really made me sad seeing Faker's hand shaking during that POV. ["Faker's hands are shaking" is now top 5 topics on Weibo] He knows his reign is over.

    : SKT is getting flamed so hard that their support player is only "ta" [It is common Chinese gamer's rage to say someone lost their mother - or ma in pinyin. Which makes mata to just "ta"...]

    Was quite a fun ride translating these reactions all of Worlds so far. I'll be back after finals! May the better team win!

    Korea's reactions to Worlds 2019 Semifinals Day 2

    Posted: 03 Nov 2019 02:05 PM PST

    Hello everyone, we're running towards the end of worlds. I'll see you next weekend with the last reaction post. Enjoy!

    Edit: Keep in mind Inven peeps are the same degens as us reddit peeps so let's keep it nice and just enjoy the salt

    Sources: http://www.inven.co.kr/board/lol/4625

    g2가 우승하면 안되는 이유 야스오 스킨나옴

    Why G2 must not win worlds: New Yasuo skin

    자야카이사 둘다 너프박아서 죽엇으면 좋겟다

    I hope both Xayah and Kaisa get nerfed to death.

    너무 딜러게임 됐음 탱템 빠방하게 둘러도 성장 잘한 원딜 하나 딜 못버티고 딜러가 많을수록 겜이 편하니까 들이미는 케릭들 리스크는 커지고 결국 살아남는건 생존기 빠방하고 딜 미친 자야, 카이사 어그로 핑퐁되는 무적류나 타겟팅 회피류 캐릭들, 은신 암살챔 아니면 딜 존나 쎈애들 밖에 없고 나머지는 한타때 스킬 한쿨씩 돌리면 삭제 혹은 전장이탈이라 뭔가 오랜 호흡의 한타를 보는 경우가 너무 드물다

    This game has become too damage oriented. Even if you have a bunch of tanky items you can't survive the damage from one fed ADC. The game becomes easier the more dmg dealers you have so it becomes more risky to pick tanky champions, and as a result we only have champions that have high survivability AND crazy damage output like Xayah and Kaisa, or champions that buy time through invulnerability, untargetability, invisibility , or just straight up crazy damage. The rest are either deleted or get kicked out of the fight after one skill rotation so it's becoming more rare and rare to see a long, coordinated team fight.

    세대교체는 이제 시작되는거지 뭐 쟤들도 몇년간 두들겨맞다가 엑조디아 만든거고 혹은 한국인을 수입해서 퍼즐을 완성한 팀도있으니 세대교체 문제로 가장 곤란한팀은 SKT일듯 후임이와도 반드시 제2의 페이커 꼬리표처럼 수식어가 달리고 부담감 엄청날듯

    Nah it's about time for a new generation. G2 has been getting beat up for many years and finally completed the Exodia and other teams finished the puzzle with Korean imports. I'm just worried about a new SKT because whoever comes, they'll have a Faker 2.0 title and that comes with a lot of pressure.

    상대팀한테 바론 내주면 좋다고 냅다 꼬라쳐박는데 욕심낼 필요가 있나ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 바론 먹기까지 skt가 겜하다가 바론 먹자하자 진에어로 돌변하던데

    There's no reason for G2 to feel pressured to take Baron LOL SKT plays up to Baron and turns into Jin Air after getting Baron

    슬프네 이번 롤드컵에서 페이커 부활할줄 빛났던 그시절처럼 SKT왕조재건 이제 안되는건.. 안되는건가보다. 현실은 만화가 아니라구

    I'm so sad. I thought Faker was going to revive this year at worlds. Like the good old times in the SKT empire. But I guess it won't happen… Real life isn't anime

    우지도 내년이 마지막이라 안했냐 페이커도 내년이 왠지 마지막일것같은 느낌이 씨게 온다

    Didn't someone say next year is Uzi's last year? I get this feeling that it's also going to be Faker's last year.

    북미가 못하는건 어쩔수가 없지 못하다 보니 스노우볼 굴러가서 점점 못해지는거임 리그 관심 떨어져서 텅텅쓰되고 리그 수준 낮으니 게임 접속자수 점점 감소하니 선수들 질은 점점 떨어지고 애초에 야구 농구 미식축구같이 자기들이 다해먹는 스포츠만 인기있는 미국인데 자기들이 조빱인 리그에 관심이 가겠냐 우리나라도 매년 이렇게 털렸으면 롤이 지금처럼 혼자 다해먹을정도의 인기는 절대 아니었음 13년부터 내리해먹었으니 점점 인기가 올라간거지

    It's no wonder NA is bad. Being bad snowballed into a worse and worse league. People start paying less attention to it, and the region loses players and therefore talent, and the country only cares about sports within the country like baseball, basketball or football anyway. What country would pay attention to a game that it does bad in. We only care about it cuz we've been taking everything since 2013. If we lost every year like this it wouldn't be this big

    졌으면 상대를 인정하고 더욱 분해해야지 피지컬 말고 팀적인 움직임도 결국 실력이지.

    If we lose we need to give our respect to the opposing team and be more angry at ourselves. Skill doesn't just mean mechanics.

    분해서 잠이 안온다

    I'm so angry that I can't sleep

    스크는 고집이 있는거 같음 예전부터.. 예전 고릴라 미포터 한테 두번 질때도 인정안하다가 두판지고나서야 밴함

    I think SKT has been a bit stubborn for a long time now.. They didn't ban MF support until they lost twice to it either

    어차피 내년에도 똑같을거임 어차피 라이엇도 와드로 존나 숨막히게해놓고 아무것도 못하게 만드는 그런 메타 다신 안만들텐데 또 난전이나 창의적인 무언가를 해야하는 메타 만들게 뻔한데 그런점에서 lck는 답이없음

    It'll be the same next year too. Riot isn't going to give back wards and bring back the suffocating macro meta, and is probably going to make another dog fight meta or off meta meta. LCK doesn't stand a chance in those metas.

    오늘 진이유 가르쳐 준다 못해서 짐 못해서 뭐 말이 더 팔요함?

    Here's why SKT lost today: they played badly. They're bad. What more do we need to say?

    와우 클래식해서 롤잘해진거아님? 와우 클래식 빠르게 숙소가서 설치하시길

    Did they get better by playing WoW Classic? Hurry up and download it in the team house

    SKT 승리패턴= 클리드가 잘함 SKT 패배패턴= 클리드가 못함

    *SKT win pattern: Clid plays well *SKT loss pattern: Clid doesn't play well

    클리드 바짓가랑이를 잡고서라도 붙잡앗음 좋겟음

    I hope SKT holds on to Clid if it takes grabbing onto his pants

    SKT 캡스 안돼나? 페이커 주는돈 1/3 만 줘도 더 받는건데

    너같으면 오겟냐 뭘보고와

    Can we make SKT Caps happen? Even if we pay him a third of what we pay Faker he'd be getting paid more than what he does now

    You think you'd come if you were him? Come to Korea for what

    이적시장이 젤 궁금하다

    I'm just excited for the transfers and FA market

    내가 보는 각 리그나 팀들의 특징 LCK : 어떤 가능성을 아예 배제해놓고 플레이 해버리는 경우가 잦음 저쪽팀이 이 때는 이렇게 나오겠지 라는 어설픈 확신 LPL : 이 새끼들은 감코 피셜로도 많이 나돌았는데 안싸우면 안되는 상남자 본능이 강함 8강에서도 나왔는데 바론 먹고 타워 부시는 운영하면 되는데 어 ? 한타각 나오네 해보자 이게 단점일수도 있는데 상대방한테 부담도 될 수 있음 LEC : 여긴 그냥 지투 말고 좆밥팀이라고 하는 게 맞음 기복이 존나 심함

    Characteristics of each league:

    • LCK: They eliminate the possibility of some plays. They imperfectly make an assumption that the enemy team would play like how they think it would
    • LPL: These crazy fucks have tendencies of a macho. They can't not fight. This was apparent in quarters too but even when they have baron and can just win off of macro if they see an angle they just fight. This could be a weakness but sometimes is a strength.
    • LEC: Nonexistent besides G2. They have too many ups and downs.

    How to actually have fun in U.R.F with full tank fiddle

    Posted: 03 Nov 2019 09:08 AM PST

    Is it too late to play LoL?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2019 08:12 AM PST

    I used to hate LoL without a reason but now after watching my first game (G2 vs SKT1) I feel like it's an amazing game. Is it too late? How long does it take to become a good player? I'm not type of players who are okay with loss or wants to play for fun. The only way I get fun is then I win. (I'm pretty sad about it). What should I know before playing, any tips? Also what channels I should watch that helps to improve.

    Posted: 03 Nov 2019 09:55 AM PST

    Phoenix or Samurai!!!! Like how amazing is that?

    I know this is not the thing on a lot of people's minds but it's something I look forward to every year when the champs are crowned, regardless of whatever champs the players pick. I'm extremely excited to whoever takes the crown although I'm rooting for G2.

    Rioter states "this isn't something that I can change" in regards to racist online status

    Posted: 03 Nov 2019 08:08 AM PST

    Over this past weekend I noticed a player on my friends list with the online status of "kill black people". Because this was not noticed in a post-game lobby I submitted a support ticket to report the player. However the response I received from Riot Mumbino was surprising to say the least. Apparently blatant racism can go unpunished and riot seems to be apathetic about the issue. Has this happened to anyone before? Does riot not care what get's posted in online statuses as a long as it passes the filter?

    My response to those saying 'just remove them' or that 'I'm playing a victim': https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/dr2ga1/rioter_states_this_isnt_something_that_i_can/f6e8rxe?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

    There's a chance for 2 people getting the perfect Pick Em for the first time in Worlds history!

    Posted: 03 Nov 2019 09:39 AM PST

    With G2 beating SKT, we are down to only 3 perfect Pick Ems and according to the analyst desk, there's only 1 person who picked FPX to win it all, which means the other two picked G2. So if G2 win Worlds this year, 2 people will get the perfect Pick Em.

    Wasn't it last year that everyone got knocked out of perfect Pick Em contention after quarters?
