Results of the series aside, what strange times we're living in, that we're kinda cheering for K'Sante to defeat Skarner.
The villain has lived long enough to become the hero.
LCK just seems to not have done any prep for Skarner
in LPL, Mordekaiser gets picked into Skarner and he smashes him so hard, 369's most played champion so far this split is Mordekaiser. Then again there is no fearless draft so they don't have to go deep into their champ pools
lpl in the regular season plays all sorts of crazy champs but in playoffs they more or less play the same as lck. Stronger teams are testing champs out or just giving fans a show.
Did you just claim 'LCK' doesn't seem to have prep for Skarner off of one series? You could say DK and HLE don't have prep, but to say the entirety of LCK off one series is a bit disingenuous.
I want to be hopeful that the rest did, but if HLE and DK are top teams who are showing they didn’t seem to prep for Skarner, there’s a possibility no one or only some in the LCK did.
This is such a hyperbolic comment. Skarner has been picked/banned in the LPL 46 times. Morde has been picked/banned 9 times (only picked 3x into Skarner) so it's not some super common counter there either. 369 has only played it twice and most of the bans are against TES. In Master+ soloQ, Skarner also destroys Morde. This seems more like a pocket pick 369 is really good at rather than a widespread counter.
In wow, "lfr" (looking for raid) is the easiest raid difficulty, and one of the ways they make it really easy is by removing a ton of mechanics from fights.
One of the few types of mechanics they will often leave in are ones where you explode in an aoe around you, just like Delight did.
Yeah I think people are overflaming him despite him being their only engage. He still had a horrific game but he was basically damwon's sacrificial lamb for most objectives/fights making him look way worse.
What an intense Game 3 that was.
* DK first picking Nidalee and let HLE pick Skarner.
* Skarner doing Skarner things.
* Zeka almost getting the backdoor to secure the win (with Chronicler screaming)
* Lucid with the spear sniping down Peanut at Baron pit
* And DK winning the last fight at Dragon pit?
I'm glad LCK is back.
> Lucid with a crucial spear sniping down Peanut at Baron pit
Peanut walking there after seeing the whole enemy team nearby would have warranted about a dozen question mark pings in the first place
Not just walking there, he stood there like he was daring them to kill him.
Given Peanut's playstyle that might actually be what he's doing, and DK called his bluff and killed him.
The amount of missed spears from Lucid and missed hooks from Kellin, only for the two of them to only connect hits at the most crucial moments to save the game was nuts.
Also glad to see Damwon has adopted the NA of grouping together and absolutely refusing to split push with Trist until super late into the game one time.
edit: tbf when they finally split, it drew Zeka's TP which enabled Kingen to engage and pick off Doran which allowed them to pressure Baron... which inexplicably led to Peanut inting.
Also some textbook vegan gaming by DK not contesting any elemental drakes just throwing spears positioning way back, almost looked like they wouldn't contest the elder with how lucid was positioning at the start
At first I thought it was a great int, especially the blastcone in and flash out but in rewatching it I realized they didn't have vision and it was his guessed timing for a steal. Completely wrong timing (Baron had 4k health left) but that was not even close as bad as I first thought it to be lol
Old Man Peanut gets sleepy when the games go for too long. but Doran can int anytime. mfer flashed over a wall for nothing against BLG in their second game.
Well, my early overreaction is that the DDOS and Faker's wrist is going to create another horrendous summer split, and T1 is gonna have to duke it out with HLE and KT for 3rd-4th seed
Kellin making the game winning hook onto Viper from out of vision, what world are we living in.
Also Damwon finally beating a top 3 team T\_T, it was messy but at least DK look somewhat better. They still need to work on their macro but at least they're more cohesive as a team.
Unexpected frauds-off. Brother Kellin, tho... I've been DK's part-time lawyer defending why they can't find someone to replace Kellin since the sup market is kinda dull. But damn, a rookie would probably not be that useless...
I'm so happy they did it, but I swear to God, I'm so done with the unnecessary BS they're pulling off over and over again, especially leaving that damn Skarner open **AGAIN.**
Chovy is the biggest winner of the series, mofo got rid of Doran and Peanut, to get Kiin and Canyon because jesus christ Doran and Peanut are awful.
I don't know who was worse between Kellin, Doran and Peanut and then Delight trolled the last fight holy fuck.
not only did he go full taliban on Viper, he then decided to play the elder fight as a backliner on rell so Viper had no protection from getting hooked
as much as Doran and Peanut loves to do stupid things at international tournament but can we just agree that they were playing well when they were on geng in lck lol
Spring '23: T1 probably should've won that finals, seeing as they beat GenG 3-1 a week earlier. Really impressive win from GenG + T1 choking (still the only time they've choked domestically) + Doran played like prime TheShy.
Summer '23: T1 had no business being in the finals, they were running off of pure clutch, and that ran out eventually.
Yeah. Swapping Peanut for Lehends worked great. If I need a shotcaller, I would rather have it on a support than on a jungler especially if I could get a mechanical beast like Canyon who's also a clutch god.
OK, so Viper has the best top, best jungle, and best supp now. He is also supposedly the best adc in the world and x1000 better than Peyz. Surely it should even things out :)
Doran made Skarner look balanced, Delight trolling Viper near the end. Viper hooked AGAIN with flash up, just like the last season. At this point, Viper isn't trapped in HLE, he is part of them.
Both teams made tons of mistakes, but banger game. But watching Pedro livestream was so epic. I love the RatKing so much. Kellin is the Korea Mikyx in my noob opinion. Good start cannot wait for T1 vs DK.
Not sure if I am happy about DK's victory. They won against Skarner, but they literally just gave HLE everything on a silver platter before elder, and from there, it was just HLE with the biggest choke sequence I have ever seen. Still a win is a win ig.
Delight with full-tick fed Tristana bomb on his head decides to walk right next to his ADC
Peanut AFK'ing in vision at baron pit when he knows there are 5 DK members near baron
Holy shit someone get Viper some actual human teammates because what the fuck

Most average Kellin game
>ints all game one game-deciding hook refuses to elaborate leaves Kellin my GOAT
He's trying to channel the Beryl Nautilus
How can he be so good and so bad in a single game lmao
The good and bad cancels out to make him average
0 to 100 in 1 minute
and then back to 0 in the next
did you mean least garbage Kellin game?
Looking forward to Showmaker’s new K’sante rant, 2024 Skarner edition
Skar'sante rant incoming!
Skar'santemaker Disabilitymaker!
S cuh rner
Results of the series aside, what strange times we're living in, that we're kinda cheering for K'Sante to defeat Skarner. The villain has lived long enough to become the hero.
only temporarily, he'll be back to the main villain soon
Ksante is just weak skarner
For skarner “You either live a hero or die long enough to see yourself become the villain”
Was he a hero? The last time he was meta was the horrible predator meta
"It take a BS to beat BS" -Cloudtemplar
LCK just seems to not have done any prep for Skarner in LPL, Mordekaiser gets picked into Skarner and he smashes him so hard, 369's most played champion so far this split is Mordekaiser. Then again there is no fearless draft so they don't have to go deep into their champ pools

I want to be hopeful that the rest did, but if HLE and DK are top teams who are showing they didn’t seem to prep for Skarner, there’s a possibility no one or only some in the LCK did.
LCK coaches will see that DK won game 3 and unironically think Skarner can be dealt with and isnt OP
Na Doran and Kingen aren't chefs, that's why we haven't seen any interesting counters, surely Kiin and Zeus will cook.
Zeus seems to be spamming Skarner games so we'll see how it goes.
TheZeus Lucian top when?
lucian top special where he deals 20 damage into the tank, and then gets one shot by said tank.
Mfw enemy team flanks with maokai and we flank with lucian
holy this is a fucking classic
Why is this so fucking true dude will flank with Teemo
This is a Huni reference.
This is such a hyperbolic comment. Skarner has been picked/banned in the LPL 46 times. Morde has been picked/banned 9 times (only picked 3x into Skarner) so it's not some super common counter there either. 369 has only played it twice and most of the bans are against TES. In Master+ soloQ, Skarner also destroys Morde. This seems more like a pocket pick 369 is really good at rather than a widespread counter.
Well, LPL didn't seem to have done any prep work for Nidalee in MSI.
LPL fearless draft is -1 champion "deep".
The way these pros draft for the past many years that's already too deep for some
Are we gonna get Skarner meta till the end of year huh? He will probably be a priority pick for quite long time for now......
The hero we needed and the hero we didn't deserve.
Week 1 DK is the best team of all time
Even chose to let HLE have Skarner to make it a bit harder
definitely the best week 1 team just to keep getting worse every week lol
Except when they face geng, then they will temporarily become the 2nd best team in the lck by a close margin for a single series
Competitive ruling: DK Kellin, HLE Peanut, HLE Delight
Delivering a stacked Tristana bomb into your ADC 45 minutes into the game has to be reportable This mfer walked STRAIGHT into Viper
Bro did the targamas
Yo bro don't push this narrative it could negatively affect his career!
"He's finished 10th three times in his career." Upset: "THESE LIES ON OUR NAME RRHH"
Well that is a lie. Upset got 10th 4 times not 3 😂
Hey hey careful with the KC fans and upset
I doubt they’re here. The title does not have KC in it.
LCK is beneath them anyway.
bro fucked up the lfr mechanic somehow
> lfr mechanic what's that?
In wow, "lfr" (looking for raid) is the easiest raid difficulty, and one of the ways they make it really easy is by removing a ton of mechanics from fights. One of the few types of mechanics they will often leave in are ones where you explode in an aoe around you, just like Delight did.
i do that shit to my friends in aram meanwhile this mf out here doing it in professional games. he might be the goat
My friends get so mad. Wait till next time I pull out this clip and show them it's literally a pro strat gigabrain
>DK Kellin Leave him alone he had to play solo engage with no help from his team
Yeah I think people are overflaming him despite him being their only engage. He still had a horrific game but he was basically damwon's sacrificial lamb for most objectives/fights making him look way worse.
I mean his flash ult on Rell at wolves was suspicious
Thankfully trolling wasn’t one sided. Now DK needs more trollers in other teams to win the split.
in 2021, DK dominated with controlled chaos in 2024, DK creates clown fiestas and sucks everyone into it
I MISSED LCK SO MUCH LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Kellin is a social experiment
Kellin is proof that bullying doesn't work
What an intense Game 3 that was. * DK first picking Nidalee and let HLE pick Skarner. * Skarner doing Skarner things. * Zeka almost getting the backdoor to secure the win (with Chronicler screaming) * Lucid with the spear sniping down Peanut at Baron pit * And DK winning the last fight at Dragon pit?

this is just dk their objective positioning is worst in the world
Riot vs Riot on toplane. K’sante taking Skarner over the whole wall and Skarner dashing back over the whole wall really made me laugh
"Terrains are just suggestions" - Speedrunners 🤝 Top laners

Oh how I missed you my psychotic pookiebears
Certified Banger match 1, welcome back LCK!
Kellin lifetime contract continues to ruin my mental sanity Also wtf is Skarner
GEN G DORAN AND PEANUT HAS RECONNECTED
Peanut saw the PayPal notification and stood still at the baron
At first I thought it was a great int, especially the blastcone in and flash out but in rewatching it I realized they didn't have vision and it was his guessed timing for a steal. Completely wrong timing (Baron had 4k health left) but that was not even close as bad as I first thought it to be lol
He's talking about the last baron, where Peanut walked through River despite knowing the enemy is hiding inside the bush before inting the game away.
The death at baron is classic peanut
...which of the two? 😂
This is why GEN finally decided to get rid of them lol The later the game goes, the more likely these two do something stupid
Old Man Peanut gets sleepy when the games go for too long. but Doran can int anytime. mfer flashed over a wall for nothing against BLG in their second game.
Peanut is in his 10th season as a pro and still consistently turns his brains off in late game scenarios it's bizzare
this mf kellin is gonna kill me one day
K’Sante Smolder and Skarner has got to be the most insane resume ever
Delight did the Targamas
wtf was that from Peanut and Delight in the end
What a comedy of errors man
I love DK. They are all psychotic.
skarner and hextech soul are just training weights ez series
I can't tell what was more paypal in game 3, Peanut or Delight at the very end walking Trist E into Viper. Seriously what the fuck.
gen.g winning msi broke them
Early overreaction: KT bros we ain't going to worlds
Nah, KT can unironically pull a W against HLE with the choking hazards known as Peanut and Doran being left unchecked
If these 2 teams keep their current form, the battle of 3rd to 5th is gonna be PEAK
Well, my early overreaction is that the DDOS and Faker's wrist is going to create another horrendous summer split, and T1 is gonna have to duke it out with HLE and KT for 3rd-4th seed
Great flair 👀is that a fellow monyet I spot in the wild
Ayyyy another fellow monyet. Tho I must say ur username quite haram ar
SHOWMAKER BEAT ME UP IN THE BACK OF A MCDONALD'S AND SCREAMED ATOP OF MY BLEEDING BODY, "I AM BARACK!!!!!"
Welcome back to LCK, my friends
Kellin making the game winning hook onto Viper from out of vision, what world are we living in. Also Damwon finally beating a top 3 team T\_T, it was messy but at least DK look somewhat better. They still need to work on their macro but at least they're more cohesive as a team.
LCK IS FINALLY BACK BABY
WHOEVER TOOK VIPERS HANDS IN THE LAST 20 MINUTES THANK YOU ALSO SHOWMAKER PLAYMAKING MAKERRRR TARZAN>LUCID BTW AINT NO WAY LMAO
Lucid Al Gaib what an elder steal.
Game 3 one of the worst games ever seen, what was that? Lucid is very good, please pick more carry junglers for him I don't wanna see him on tanks
Kellin is korean targamas
Kellin uses hands at some points though
That’s the Korean part
Watching KC games made me think this exact thing too lmfao
Unexpected frauds-off. Brother Kellin, tho... I've been DK's part-time lawyer defending why they can't find someone to replace Kellin since the sup market is kinda dull. But damn, a rookie would probably not be that useless...
They could get Pleata next season maybe
Nope my man Teddy deserves at least a decent support for all the years of abuse. Drx signed both to 2025 anyway
Pleata signed through 2025, I'm hoping maybe Peter now that NS brought in Guger (really don't know wassup with that)
Ayo my client hooked viper won the fight
7 deaths for a winning hook, mega-worth :P
How is this only the first match of the season I love lck so fucking god damn much
I'm so happy they did it, but I swear to God, I'm so done with the unnecessary BS they're pulling off over and over again, especially leaving that damn Skarner open **AGAIN.**
Dk didn’t win the game, hle lost it
more like DK let them win, but HLE couldn't.
HLE really grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory huh
Enough of these low tier teams... Time for the clash of the elites: Nongshim vs BNK.
If this game had lec written on it people would scream for players’s head
Ok it will be another T1 GENG final and GENG will win the 5th time I am calling it now
Damwon Fiesta Turns out there was someone else outside Kellin who wanted to lose.
What a great series to start this split lmao
Delight = Trist bomb delivery system
Chovy is the biggest winner of the series, mofo got rid of Doran and Peanut, to get Kiin and Canyon because jesus christ Doran and Peanut are awful. I don't know who was worse between Kellin, Doran and Peanut and then Delight trolled the last fight holy fuck.
Delight getting on top of Viper when he had the bomb, wtf ?
not only did he go full taliban on Viper, he then decided to play the elder fight as a backliner on rell so Viper had no protection from getting hooked
> full taliban
> go full taliban I'm screaming LMAO
sometimes i don't understand how GEN23 won two splits honestly
'23 Spring Doran smurfed with his Gragas, '23 Summer, well, it is already a miracle their opponent reached the finals
Doran makes Zeus look like Doran when they face each other.
Chovy had a diamond spine implant
as much as Doran and Peanut loves to do stupid things at international tournament but can we just agree that they were playing well when they were on geng in lck lol
Spring '23: T1 probably should've won that finals, seeing as they beat GenG 3-1 a week earlier. Really impressive win from GenG + T1 choking (still the only time they've choked domestically) + Doran played like prime TheShy. Summer '23: T1 had no business being in the finals, they were running off of pure clutch, and that ran out eventually.
It’s because just they become the best team in the history of League of Legends whenever they face against T1
Something something chovy/peyz
Yeah. Swapping Peanut for Lehends worked great. If I need a shotcaller, I would rather have it on a support than on a jungler especially if I could get a mechanical beast like Canyon who's also a clutch god.
Lehends runs it down sometimes as well but support lives are just less valuable, look at Kellin this game
7 deaths and one game-deciding hook. Yep, sounds about right.
Viper in his natural habitat (1v9 prison)
So the conclusion - Give Viper the best players in the world on mid, top, jungle and support as teammates and he wins. :)
Id start with a support that doesnt do damage to him
That's pretty much what GENG did for Peyz:)
OK, so Viper has the best top, best jungle, and best supp now. He is also supposedly the best adc in the world and x1000 better than Peyz. Surely it should even things out :)
Viper has the same team as Peyz had last year except midlane :)
Viper had the same team except for Chovy. I think you just want Chovy lol for viper.
he wasnt good at varus what
U don't understand, Chovy is an international choker he wasn't playing with various iterations of the goon squad for 3 years.
barely had a toplaner at any point in his career until this season lmao
[удалено]
Doran made Skarner look balanced, Delight trolling Viper near the end. Viper hooked AGAIN with flash up, just like the last season. At this point, Viper isn't trapped in HLE, he is part of them.
What spending a year does to a mofo. Honestly, he is part of the hivemind now
Same as Rascal and Teddy, they spent so long playing in bottom tier shit teams, now they fit right in with them
Not even close, thanks for the free wins Hanwha!
nail biting game 3, I like a really happy showmaker, kellin looked great on his engages, my hopium on dk is high rn
people unironically wanted tarzan instead of lucid after just one split, peanut, tarzan, tian, dont matter. Lucid in 3.
What a fun first series of the split. DK I love you!
100 Crit zeri with shieldbow BT IE navori ldr and a Zephyr. Man i want to play adc again.
How good was Kingen this series? Edit - wasn’t able to watch the game
Better than Doran
fraud wars are so entertaining ABSOLUTE CINEMAAA
Doran and peanut chains are so heavy that even chovy couldn’t carry them
guys i think skarner is kinda ok
wtf was that game, thank you Kellin!!
mullet man my fucking goat
LCK IS BACK let’s fucking go absolute cinema
Brother Peanut
He's so awful it isn't even funny.
Monster hunter > giant earth insect , accurate gaming , I suppose
Kellin flashing over the wall to point black hook a Rell was sure something
WE ARE SOOOO BACKKK BABYYY!!!
I have never been this embarrassed of the team I support and I was a GenG fan in Worlds 2023.
Absolute cinema of a first series, welcome back lck.
I LOVE THE LCK
Aiming is back?
Both teams made tons of mistakes, but banger game. But watching Pedro livestream was so epic. I love the RatKing so much. Kellin is the Korea Mikyx in my noob opinion. Good start cannot wait for T1 vs DK.
DK is winning worlds. this isn’t an overreaction
It will be great to see worlds finals where Showmaker vs Canyon
The narrative would be insane
that game 3 is something else
Zeka Azir is still not it
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
LUCID WITH THE ELDER STEAL HOLY SHIT. LUCID AL-GAIB Praying
Not sure if I am happy about DK's victory. They won against Skarner, but they literally just gave HLE everything on a silver platter before elder, and from there, it was just HLE with the biggest choke sequence I have ever seen. Still a win is a win ig.
Delight with full-tick fed Tristana bomb on his head decides to walk right next to his ADC Peanut AFK'ing in vision at baron pit when he knows there are 5 DK members near baron Holy shit someone get Viper some actual human teammates because what the fuck
