@reishiki8682 I actually like this strategic side of Poby more, he pushes sidelines(depending on the champ) to free some pressure that would otherwise be directed at bot duo or guwon, or he hovers lane/go with the bot duo for more coverage freeing up gueon to contest. Tho, as Caedrel said, itd be better if his laning phase was better so that at least his later wouldn't snowball or be strong mid- to late game
rekkles is not a newbie. the dude has been a pro players for years. it is amazing how fast he adapted to a different country, culture language and role and giving us such impressive performances with his adc. this is not the same team we saw in the spring. also there is a chance the meta favors their playstyle but we have to wait and see for that one.

Guwon my goat. Seems like he's gotten over his fears and is starting to actively improve. I believe the day will come when he can proudly say he's now a player in the LCK proper.
Honestly he looks better than Keria right now on traditional supports. Don't know what happened with Keria; he used to be godlike on traditional champs and now he looks like a double bot abuser.

@@chickenmane3319 poby of all ppl didn’t even look half bad skill-wise in LCK last year, but leadership and cohesion plays an important role in professional league. T1 was 1-7 just by Faker absent alone

@@ashygfriend6784 rekkles is one of the few players that have gotten furthest from the lec, hes been to the worlds finals, he was the best botlaner in the world 2020, hes looking promising on support after just a couple of months in a new country, culture, team, if he went back to the lec as support hed be at the top, and its also not a 1v1 game, its a team game, last time rekkles was in the lec he had the worst support in the league and still did okey and him and smash are great togheter without being able to communicate
@@ashygfriend6784 wdym Rekkles can't survive LEC when he's literally one if not the best bot in LEC in the past.... everybody also forgetting that FNC team huh
Fearless Mode it's the best change Riot has made in many years, I abandoned to play the game but I'm going back to following and watch these lck games...
ye, as much as people cry about how sh*t will the 5th game in a BO5 be, I believe this is better and shows who is actually better as a player since they can play more champs and also less about abusing op champs, since we clearly have balance problems, at least this way we get rid of those op champs in like the first 3 games for sure
Imo fearless draft is a GREAT addition. The champion pool is ever-expanding and they won't "delete" champions, so by effectively banning more champions per game, they add a lot of novelty by having teams be more creative. At the same time it prevents the game from becoming "stale" for viewers and (to a lesser degree) players by not always seeing the same 15 champions in rotation.
They're 3rd because they dropped a game against Gen.G CL, so it's KT CL at first then DK CL at 2nd (pending, since they have 1 match point lead til their third game).
surprised me there to see a gnar ban , it's something you didn't see in regular lck since 2021-2022 against zeus , zeus has been looking amazing on it , idk why they aren't considering it into skarner , it has so much engage and turn around value in teamfight compared to twisted fate , im genuinely asking myself why aren't T1 considering it as a pick against skarner in general or ksante , zeus is great on gnar , even aatrox (i know gnar need to manage his gnar bar to be useful , but it seems how the teamfight against geng are going Gnar could easily fill up his bar before hands or even during the fights against GenG) aatrox got less prioritized since the removal of duskblade but i feel like zeus didn't give it a try during season 14 , his twisted fate has been really weak against GenG tbh , rell should be considered too for teamfights , oner has been one of the best even the best rell player i have seen due to the value of his plays
Zeus kept picking (and often blinding) aatrox for like 90% of the spring split, he only stopped right before playoffs and started permapicking tf, idk why you think he didn't play it this season. Also Oner can't really play rell anymore, riot removed all the monster damage modifiers (basically killing her jungle clear) and she's just not viable anymore
Ady is a freaking legend. Dude plays his own style completely refusing to follow the meta and hitting rank 1 with Taric top. Coolest league player in existence
i feel like i have been watching league for years but never heard of fearless draft XD could someone explain it? is it just the players deciding this? or is it actually part of the season that the players are required to follow these rules? O:
I know we hype up Smash a lot, but Rekkles looks like the perfect duo for him, experienced, calm and willing to play 100% the champs which enables Smash. Hope one team brings them as a duo in LEC or mid LCK team
agree that smash and rekkles compliments esch other in terms of aggression and passiveness. rekkles has a very good understanding of the game and how lanes are played. while smash has this youthful fire passion and mechanics to execute. only thing would like them to see and improve is that if theyre put in a losing lane. and rekkles playing tank engage
ayo can't believe i'm saying this, but i enjoy watching T1A more now compare to the main roster. i will skip watching T1 main until it's BO5. for now, DK/KT/KDF/NS/T1A is my homie.
I will wait until keria gets sick Rekkles be subbed in to lck T1 wins their games with rekkles Becomes the very first non korean to play in lck (technically he wasn't first as before lck, champions ogn had like some western playin in league for a whole split)
T1A biggest problem was snowballing and converting advantages into wins, seems that they have really worked on their mid game macro, hope they could keep it up and have something to show in playoffs.
Wasn't Ady the top laner who Baus thought was very good during his time in Korea - I specifically remember top lane Leona as one of the picks - or am I mistaken?
he plays clean and calculated as always thats why he doesnt take bad fights as an adc, which i think support role suits his playstyle more because of his vision and game knowledge.
