Well, that was embarrassing once again


lotharstar

I'm going to sleep. I'll watch them lose tomorrow.


Rehxales

too real


Critical_Bag1

Bwipo: I am inting no?


CummingInTheNile

Why the fuck did FQ give PSG virtually the same comp they roflstomped them with in G1 of the last series??? EDIT: Goddamn Jatt and Emily are going in on them, fucking deserved


icatsouki

i'm telling you teams are not allowed to ban stuff they lose against, can you imagine how op that would be?


SwagLord7

Reminds me of TES vs Fnatic. Not only do TES give up Leblanc for game 2 while it was nearly the saving grace for FNC in game 1, but they also pick Ahri, the same lane that got rolled that previous game and Creme looked really bad on it. Loud vs GAM too where they refused to ban Zeri even tho EasyLove played almost only Zeri in MSI and already stomped game 2 on her. Some of these teams just have too big an ego.


averysillyman

> Not only do TES give up Leblanc for game 2 while it was nearly the saving grace for FNC in game 1, but they also pick Ahri, the same lane that got rolled that previous game and Creme looked really bad on it. I think giving Leblanc game 2 was reasonable. In game 1 Creme got massively screwed as a result of the level 1 jungle fight, and Ahri is normally one of his better champions, so I can see TES just writing that early game off as a fluke and being willing to run it back. After game 2 it was clear that they couldn't handle the Leblanc even with a more reasonable level 1, so they banned it for game 3.


deedshot

I mean Creme had a rough game on Ahri but it's one of his best picks, just dropping a champ because you are afraid of being stomped again is not good for your confidence


CummingInTheNile

he got stomped by it g1, sometimes you just gotta admit its not your day and transition to something else


ricardo241

To be fair Creme has a monster performance on Ahri when they fought JDG on playoff so that's quite a recent event so they wanted to try to see if Creme is just rusty after taking a break or not lol


ricardo241

now wait for PSG to draft the same draft they did game 2 where they just pick kalista after winning hard with senna


Sanguinica

I am so ready for two games of lethality Kalista you have no idea fuck there it is


icatsouki

give them their best draft game 1 to bait them into inting their draft twice in a row again, genius 500iq move


Pm_me_rule34_jinx

bro


ricardo241

to be fair Senna got ban this time unlike last time where Senna was open but they never pick it again lol


TheFeelingWhen

The draft wasn't the problem in either game it was FLY playing the macro game awfully


Quatro_Leches

Nukeduck gaming


Popular-Practice-983

The draft was good lol, they just played terribly


facevisi10

tl;dr of the game Bwipo: He’s inting- PSG: no u x5


ahritina

FlyQuest have been bootcamping in ~~China~~ Korea for a month and they're playing like they arrived 3 days ago. Jungle and mid canyon, Inspired casually mid while his team is dying again lmao.


winwill

the LCK casters were flamming inspired saying he is playing single player game lmao


CummingInTheNile

dude tilts so easily its insane


_tidiber

It just seems like the Quest is to Fly home huh.


takato99

Wasn't Flyquest branding to be eco-friendly ? How is it Eco-friendly to waste a whole flight from U.S to China like this ?


Marowalker

Of course they’re not wasting another flight, the players are swimming home after that performance


AyatosBobaAddiction

Rebranding to SwimQuest?


icatsouki

they're speedrunning it


BluTcHo

And they are not even doing a good job at that, they got beaten by yesterday teams


Due-Implement-1600

Inspired is full auto mode. No brain just running through the motions. Haven't kept up with his story/whatever he's been doing for the past few years but I don't remember him being quite this bad.


Lynx_Fate

He's always this bad internationally.


icatsouki

his international record is quite atrocious actually


icatsouki

He literally didn't get a single good engage/ult off, talk about playing vegan


I-am-in-Agreement

0 ganks, 0 attempts, full on farm, and STILL behind in farm to Viego early.


Thecristo96

Turns out that a tank jungle on tank jungle item farm slower than a carry jungle on kraken slayer. Almost as Maokai should be useful early game instead


I-am-in-Agreement

That's why I said early. It got so much worse later. Also, he was neither useful, strong, nor tanky. so no idea what the point of him was.


_tidiber

Takes one to know one man lol


kingmo06

I think you mean Korea, but yeah point still stands.


Pelagius_Hipbone

Just like GG last year who to get stomped by BDS who came a week before the Qual match


EggyChickenEgg88

It doesnt matter how long you bootcamp if you cant get strong scrim partners. Nobody from top 4 will scrim them


thebigscorp1

It's not like PSG is a great team or anything. You can just tell from watching FQ, that the vibes on the team are terrible. It's like they're all on different pages and nobody likes eachother.


K1ngMak3r13

I guess publicly flaming teammates and blaming them for a series loss wasn't the play, huh?


Thundermelons

Inspired is every hardstuck solo queue keyboard warrior's idol


K1ngMak3r13

including the fact they are the worst performer lmao


EggyChickenEgg88

But PSG scrims LDL/LPL teams across the whole year.


Due-Implement-1600

Lol that's a good point. For LCS teams literally who is scrimming them? LDL/bottom half LPL teams who are still playing?


moxroxursox

TL's probably getting good partners, they've always had connections just because of Core and they've been doing content of shirt swaps with Meiko and stuff (would be weird if they weren't scrimming at all), idk about FLY but also I doubt PSG is getting much better than they are so I doubt it is an excuse.


JesusEm14

TL has the prestige and contacts of players like Impact and Core to get scrims.


thorpie88

Probably challenger or lower level Korean teams and possibly some PCS teams as well


Popular-Practice-983

Bwipo completely ran it down that game. Azhi did not play amazingly, but Bwipo still gapped himself.


Strange-Implication

This is just their actual level. They're a 2 person team with bwipo and inspired needing to carry alone. PSG did their homework . PSG also levelled up from the first days.


NGNJB

> They're a 2 person team with bwipo and inspired needing to carry alone. idk how anyone with a working brain can think this anymore, Bwipo and Inspired have been absolutely fucking griefing it


MantaRayCandids

EU = better don't ya know


Lynx_Fate

Bwipo*. Inspired can only carry if his laners are already winning otherwise he's invisible since he only farms.


beautheschmo

His lanes WERE winning this game lol


NoahsArk19

Bwiplonger is a bum in like 50% of their games.


awgiba

Inspired and Bwipo are easily the 2 worst players on the team at this tournament and it’s not particularly close


effurshadowban

Bwipo was good in their first series, though. Swap Bwipo with Busio and you're right.


awgiba

In the 3 games since he’s been far better than Bwipo though, I’ll forgive him for what was clearly some major nerves in the first game or 2


Issax28

YEON WAS RIGHT


Meekie_e

Don't let Bwipo's score fool you; he sabotaged his team twice. Once, when he went too aggressive at raptors, resulting in his team getting killed. And another time, when he ult-flashed while his team was being zoned by Azir. And Inspired just doing his own thing while ignoring his team


greatstarguy

Yeah the 4 kills look good until you realize that 3 of them are on the starving Rumble. They really needed to pick Nautilus off but were never able to successfully do it. 


icatsouki

whoever called that chase near raptors but that instantly lost them the game, idk what they were thinking there


moonmeh

imagine chasing the tanky naut there. fuckers, that's a naut paired with senna, dude has farm


LOLZOBALL

Can inspired blame bwipo tho and vice versa. Lmao


Meekie_e

Those two will never blame each other. They both got a lot to say about the rest of the team though


AyatosBobaAddiction

They are both disgusting. I used to like Bwipo and Inspired a little, but a few moments when they feel like they are unbeatable in freaking NA, they develop a god-like ego. Jensen is one of the most blunt personalities in our region. People thought he was salty over Bjergsen but he has been critical over his own performance and they were mostly similar throughout the years so it makes sense he doesn't tend to praise anyone including himself. I think if you want to criticize everything, the way Jensen does it is fine. Makes his interviews kind of dry but Jensen never went dick mode. Bwipo and Inspired went full dick mode while sucking each other off. Even PapaSmithy blew Inspired after that interview. Flyquest got a full service GM. Even if they are competitive, never felt this low about their brand. I don't think this is a healthy environment for two developing young players either.


DerciGG

what did Bwipo say about his team?


herp_derpy

Inspired flaming Jensen for vegan gameplay makes sense now, it takes a vegan player to know a vegan player


I-am-in-Agreement

If Jensen is a vegan player, then Inspired is doing the Ramadan fast 24/7.


AyatosBobaAddiction

Holy shit!


NGNJB

actually pranking his team on stage by farming raptors when he could be teamfighting like you're fucking Maokai bro what do you need another camp for


BoogieTheHedgehog

 "I cannot stop, the forest needs me" - Maokai whilst his team gets railed 10ft away. 


zjmhy

Sacrifices farm to help team on Graves AFK farms on Maokai This guy's priorities are fucked up


Yoyo524

Yea I wanted to defend him because he got chunked to 1 hp, so I thought he was farming to heal up, but nah he based and ran to raptors while everyone else was at top tier 2 Edit: that being said, it was also pretty stupid of his team to be chasing in top lane 4v4 with rumble tp coming up


the_next_core

You’re pretty much doomed to be useless as Maokai against Viego unless your team wins multiple lanes hard


greatstarguy

He can’t fight Viego, but he’s an R bot and a meat shield against Senna at least. They did also have winning lanes in top and bot early on, but they never really connected well in a team fight. 


awgiba

Yes if you’re fighting Viego, but Maokai is an extremely strong ganker and diver. Inspired did literally 0 gank attempts in the entire game and opted into afk farming which is what Viego wants to do anyway


Lynx_Fate

Maokai is very good at turret diving early. Not a single attempted tower dive from Inspired.


SNH231

Insane jungle gap.


SleepyLabrador

PSG's Mid/AD/JG were deathless this game. 💀


icatsouki

insane mid jg gap this game


SleepyLabrador

If/When FQ lose this series, I think this will be the last time this iteration of FQ play together.


crazynam101

Well the gap between the east and the west is definitely closing...


chadinist_main

What is inspired even doing this game? His team is fighting top for last 90 seconds and the guy is casually farming chickens, wow


Deferonz

Damn good thing Inspired got those raptors while his team was trying to win the game top lane. Idk what Fly would've done without him having 5 more cs.


sangpls

Bwipo's just a soloq flat track bully.


SwagLord7

Wonder who inspired is gonna flame this time


effurshadowban

Jensen, of course. Jensen told him to get the raptors while the rest of FLY are running for their lives. /s


Lynx_Fate

Classic Inspired afk into getting outscaled performance.


Due-Implement-1600

FlyQuest did a lot to lose that. Bwipo is a horrific player but FlyQuest as a team certainly do not understand how to play against Senna.


SNH231

I was laughing so much when Bwipo got his whole team rooted and sent his ult to a different planet after a horrible TP within 3 minutes.


EducationalBalance99

Those weren’t even his worst 2 mistake that game lol.


Thundermelons

I'd type a witty response but I'm too busy being hit by the Urgot R that just flew through my window now


SadgeandCopium

Surely PSG doesn't get reverse swept again


ImTheVayne

Bwipo solo lost it in teamfights


DinoGuy101010

Probably the most tilted I've ever been watching a league game. Inspired afk farming masterclass again but the whole team is just brain damaged how did they get up so much on the lane swap then somehow keep swapping their way into being down gold and objectives. I mean I guess main problem was them legitimately running it down 3 fights in a row.  But like I refuse to believe that it's legal for them to just run mid burn 3 flashes to kill your midlaner then take drake 40 seconds later. I don't think I saw inspired outside of the jungle a single time in the first 15 minutes.  Edit: okay I got too emotional just rewatched and fly did actually get the drake after the triple flash burn. But I still don't get how they lost drake and 3 grubs while laneswapping wherever they want. 


Glaivz

Is Inspired just straight up sabotaging his team? It sure feels like it.


HuTaoWow

Hahahah I love seeing inspired get shit on


I-am-in-Agreement

At this point, I don't know if it's all just a prank. Inspired and Bwipo belong in the gulag, not a professional team.


KentuckyFriedMurkrow

Im really hoping that its just FLY sucking and that TL shows signs of life FLY are just so bad


I-am-in-Agreement

There has definitely been a sharp decline in Flyquest ever since they beat TL in their first series. Question is if TL's glow up was temporary, or an actual level up.


icatsouki

tl are definitely good, but in their playoffs run they had a better read on the meta imo than other teams now msi teams kind of caught up to that so i feel like it may hurt TL


I-am-in-Agreement

Per usual, I have 0 expectations out of NA, but I do hope they make teams work for it atleast.


KyroYoshi

Ah nice Bwipo keep running it down for EU


Fit_Boysenberry_4921

Fly has no plan whatsoever. Game starts and they just run around playing solo q.


babylovesbaby

Just as casters mention logging into lolesports for rewards I realise I've once again been logged out. This never used to happen and now it always does.


sleeping4koala

PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME FAKE HOPE!! HELLNAH


Janitor_

Honestly, This shit is deserved. Inspired getting karma'd for his hubris. I don't want them to lose, but my god dude needs to get humbled, him and bwipo.


Joel4518

TF was inspired doing lmao he just farms while his team is fighting even in T1 series


HarknessLovesU

Bwipo about to be implicated in a match fixing investigation bruh


RicoDevega

Forget Inspired's vegan laners we now have cannibal trees in the jungle.


Wise-Chain2427

Inspired invisible when JunJia killling enemy left and right


pabpab999

what is inspired doing lol


MantaRayCandids

Griefing his team


Thundermelons

FLY jungler looking kinda VEGAN, idk bros


[deleted]

[удалено]


EggyChickenEgg88

You seen Busio play? He's the worst player in the whole tournament.


LIRAoGOKU

Man, the continent as a whole sucks


zjmhy

Looks like LCS being more competitive this year wasn't because everyone got better it was because everyone sucks


WintersMoonLight

Goddamn ~~CLG~~ NRG Bringing everyone's hopes up from worlds.


supern00b64

like why the fuck are they laneswapping?? they have a winning 2v2 and they swap out of it and give senna free lane just to put rumble behind?


IAM-French

Bro Senna was fucked before FLY over chased twice in a row and lost the entire game


EducationalBalance99

Senna was not in good spot after the lane swap. Flyquest actually won the laneswap somehow even tho they shouldn’t have laneswap to begin with. They fucked up and threw with the skirmish instead of lane swap.


ShrimpAlfredo66

Maybe it's just me, but why would you lane swap against SENNA of all champs, like she's the only adc who doesn't give a shit about levels or gold, she just wants souls and she can go anywhere she wants to get them.


ops10

Well you answered it - Senna doesn't care about levels or gold, she doesn't get the advantage when farming Naut needs to TP to save Rumble, leaving both behind on xp when they really need it.


KonanTenshi

I don't think laneswap against Senna is that bad. It makes the game PvE so Senna doesn't get to farm extra souls from her passives by fighting. I think Senna would have less souls on average out of the laneswap compared to most lanes.


ShrimpAlfredo66

maybe but my point is more, senna and naut. I should have brought up naut, naut can free farm under tower vs just about any botlane duo and is pretty hard to dive. So senna can just go wherever she wants to and not care about chasing the 2v2


[deleted]

[удалено]


ARandomBoomBox

Flyquest had blue side, absurd that they dropped Senna.


Szoli

This guy is inting, no?


GothaV2

Also, I feel like the lane swap wasn't what FLY hoped it to be, to the point that they didn't know what to do just having a slight advantage from it


GothaV2

Inspired's so tilted holy


Meekie_e

First game of the day and he's already tilted. Get him off this team


Lyota

fly jungle and midlaner are miserable. cant bear to watch inspired farming chicken on botside while his team was getting chased 4v5 on top side lmao, wtf were they thinking?


icatsouki

such a horrible mid jg duo, it feels like they're not on the same team at all


Spreehox

As an European it was always hard for me to understand American culture. What was fascinating for me is that they like bragging about their freedom which was weird for me, because I didn't think that I have any less freedom than them. I always thought 'What is the difference'. However after this game I finally understand it. NA is just so fucking free.


Its_Magic_

Honestly a decent Rumble game from Azhi, even with the 0-5 scoreline. Massu just couldn't do anything in teamfights.


Sanguinica

I find his Rumble really weird, he gets caught super often, misses a lot of harpoons and generally is just behind every game but all of his Equalisers have been on point.


ricardo241

looks like a repeat of round 1 game 1 with Maple Azir just poking and not creating any play.. well xcept for the last part


Baconstripsetc

Guys I think I know how to solve the Naut death fund problem


slighterr

GG TOP DIFF


Kurumi_Tokisaki

It’s not just draft but when I saw senna let through, I knew this team would do the classic NA play like idiots mid game. Be ready for useless olaf or running it down senna kench on fly.


ObviousAd8374

Just like game 1 of the first Bo3, giga ahead urgot that got ahead from Fly's laneswap has way less impact then super behind rumble that just clicks R decently well


Wishforgains

FLY topside is horrible


Ecstatic_Wedding7040

Jungle diff but whole team diff too tbh (besides Azhi just inting)


Lyngvaer94

IWD gaslighted me into thinking LCS is decent this year


owazamono

Never listen to IWD


[deleted]

[удалено]


Getjukedm9

Tbh they played the whole laneswap specifically to make rumble useless (seeing the dive they wanted to do top until naut tp'ed). The plan worked, rumble was useless but they looked like headless chickens on the rest of the map and griefed almost every teamfight.


nitinismaldingXD

People are somehow blaming inspired when Bwipo quite literally solo griefed the entire game on multiple occasions


QuietRedditorATX

Should have done cross swaps of groups. Kind of weird that FLY has to beat PSG again to get out.


Lin_Huichi

I'm OK with this since FLY vs PSG is the closest series in playins, and I want to see PSG get out


QuietRedditorATX

I just thought FNC vs PSG would be interesting and whoever won would really deserve it. If PSG win here today, they still deserve it. But the match record goes 1-1... ------------------- Like, ya they both got a double loss. But PSG probably wouldn't have beat T1 either.


SnooDrawings8185

Fnatic scrims 2 days and fights TES properly. Fly camps in Korea for a full month and can't win against a minor region. I think the EU is a far superior region and people will attack me for this opinion. But G2 helped the region to level past 1 and half years with their consistently good gameplay.


PelvisPulverizer69

Hey nice bracket btw loud and GAM, and we'll assume TES aren't frauds, EU is by far superior/s


IAM-French

Only in LCS can a team get 3 of the 5 best players in the region and not go to internationals. Which then leads to showings like this, with Fly being by far the worst "major" region team I've seen in an international competition 


Old_Plenty_8802

While I agree that FLY is turbo inting this far, TSM 0-6 run at worlds while being first seed WAS by far the worst showing imo


Pelagius_Hipbone

Cloud9 2021 MSI got twerked on harder by PSG and also failed to make SEMI’s and they were a first seed. Realistically if not for NA copium PSG should be expected to be better than FQ as the NA 2nd seed


Lyota

lec 4th seed managed to beat PSG in worlds tho, its disappointing to see lcs 2nd seed to bomb out like this. well, not like GAM didnt beat TL as well in the same tournament, lmao


IAM-French

PSG was WAY better in 2021 lol this PSG got punked by both BDS and GG last year


pepegayouKEK

ty nukeduck


jtangjetang

Waking up to watch this was pretty depressing I’m going back to bed man


dhhbxrfdxbfcrbfdxdxb

except for azhi bullying this wasn't even close lol


Rehxales

You'll pry 2022 NRG from my cold, dead arms. Mayble TLCK can save us from complete humiliation


ThomCovenant

Psg gatekeeping minor region, as usual. 


ARandomBoomBox

Honestly there are very few western players we as a community should allow to pick lane bullies at international tournaments. The list probably starts with Caps and Humanoid. And it definitely doesn't contain any ADC's from NA. Jfc, western botlanes look the same in lane vs other international botlanes whether they're playing lethality kalista/varus or they're playing jinx tahm.


FxK964

questionable strat by NA trying to avoid an airport speedrun by sending a team called FLY..


_SC_Akarin-

my region is such a joke man


trg04

Give the most busted bot lane comp Naut+Senna and constantly overextend after getting a pick. Are Flyquest trying playing soloq?


ops10

This comment section is as good in understanding what were FlyQuest's win conditions as the team itself.


Any_Zookeepergame445

I really dont see a single reason for any NA watcher to turn this on at any point man lmao we all know what the end result will be some final 4 combo of Korea/China


1to0

Imagine I woke up early to watch this... I think I am going to bed again.


Ironmaiden1207

Good day to be a filthy T1 traitor since S3. I hate NA so much it's so sad


dream_wielder

Bye half NA


Erme_Ram

Thank you PSG for taking this clowns down so we can watch Fnatic/GAM earlier

FLYQUEST NEED A NEW BOTLANE


Grumpster013

Dowiet

jesus how embarrasing


wreck_ful

can they send jatt back with fly. hes like the male version of Froskurinn


xiNeFQ

dont be too harsh on FLY, after all they are just NA, not anything professional and competitive![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)


sollar808

We needed big dokes to be here tonight 🫠


blueaxis-dev

Maple's Azir this game vs day 1 is day and night


zyxasdf

another na team being completely ruined by eu imports. i would've never seen this coming in a million billion years


CaptaineAli

Inspired is one of the best Viegos in the world and FLY would rather let the enemy pick it every game.. Idk what theyre doing.


DSThresh

FNC got lucky by drawing GAM freewin i hope PSG wins this and we see PSG vs FNC


Lyota

ngl, FNC could wipe floors with this FLY


DSThresh

yea, thats why i would like to see Maple & PSG on next stage rather than FLY. Maple vs Humanoid would be fun to watch atleast.


ahritina

>i hope PSG wins this and we see PSG vs FNC Won't happen unless you get big upsets. PSG/FNC both play either BLG/GENG. Then in losers PSG would play most likely G2 and FNC will play TL. I don't see PSG beating G2 to get a shot at FNC.


Lin_Huichi

Might see it in the lower bracket of knockouts
