So is that 1 NA team out?

 

[Leezard]

Cody Sun wins the "most bizarre play of Worlds 2017" award, at least so far.

He just had to one-up Rekkles's play from their last game.

So is that 1 NA team out?

Nah they still have a chance. I think if Fnatic lose to GAM then IMT is out if they don't beat Longzhu, but if Fnatic win against GAM and Longzhu are undefeated, then it will be a three way tie.

 

[Kangi]

GAM has a chance (even though they're about to lose to LZ), let's gooooo

 

[capitalCORN]

My internet died during the game. What the hell happened?

Pobelter whiffs an ultimate and IMT lose a teamfight, next "teamfight" Soaz pulls the dumbest flank and just dies, final teamfight IMT starts losing it and Cody Sun pulls a Flash murder-suicide against his own teammate, FNC nexus rush and win.

If GAM beats both LZ and FNC, then IMT is out.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Thanks!

it was really sweet flash trist ult into mana-less Ez to IMT lose

The Urgot respect ban.

edit: Rengar Zilean

 

[RelaxedOtter]

And now a Zilean

 

[Imperfected]

"We just gotta play our own way!" Gigabyte Marines roar defiantly, not realizing their Urgot win was mostly due to the NA being professionals at throwing Week #2 of Worlds.

#GAMWIN

they are the lifeblood of Worlds

a non AC support

They are so fun to watch. Even going Galio + Zilean duo lane.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

ah zilean still gets AC

 

[capitalCORN]

Oh wow.

 

[Leezard]

Holy shit, GAM does a fantastic team fight.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Optimus killed himself durign that fight by the turret b/c he didn't realize he was being hit by it

 

[RelaxedOtter]

No way this is happening..

 

[cHinzo]

WTF THOSE SHIELDS!

 

[Leezard]

What a comeback from Longzhu. The game is so close.

 

[Garrett 2U]

LCK is showing why they are the best region in the world. These comebacks from 10k gold deficits are just an emotional rollercoaster to watch.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

man Sya is going to make GAM lose if he keeps screwing up his ults

 

[Makareu]

This game is so good.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

This game is so good.

yes but dam Sya ruined the win 10 minutes ago, have a entire strat that demands you be ahead in exp and gold then ruin it by bad ults

Yup. It's insane how Korean teams can consistently find a way back into the game.

 

[cHinzo]

Never count Koreans out guys.

 

[Kangi]

Feeling pretty good about GAM going into the next game, at least, which has been the one that really matters in terms of who lives and who dies.

 

[RelaxedOtter]

Feel bad for GAM as they got so close to beating LongZhu that game. But man, coming back from a 10k defecit with 2 inhibs down is damn impressive.

 

[Nightwing123]

GAM should be able to beat FNC and LZ should beat IMT.

 

[Garrett 2U]

If GAM beat FNC
-IMT beating LZ leads to a IMT/GAM tiebreaker, IMT losing to LZ leads to GAM advancing.
If FNC beat GAM
-IMT beating LZ leads to IMT advancing, IMT losing to LZ leads to a three way tie.

 

[Sol Mori]

If GAM beat FNC
-IMT beating LZ leads to a IMT/GAM tiebreaker, IMT losing to LZ leads to GAM advancing.
If FNC beat GAM
-IMT beating LZ leads to IMT advancing, IMT losing to LZ leads to a three way tie.

Honestly even if we end in a 3 way tie; because I don't expect IMT to beat LZ, I still think IMT will manage to go towards the World's 2015 meme.

 

[cHinzo]

Hey, if IMT doesn't make it, there is still TSM.

 

[Leezard]

From a post on reddit:

Context for tiebreaker scearios: (ONLY APPLICABLE IF IMT LOSE TO LZ):
GAM have the fastest game time, Fnatic is below them by 2 minutes.
This means GAM get the guaranteed bye in the 'winner's match'.
Ultimately, If IMT lose to LZ, they will play FNC in a match that determines the 4th place, and who plays GAM.
The winner obviously plays GAM for the 2nd spot in groups.
If IMT win vs LZ, they are 2nd

 

[Prototype Viktor]

this day doesn't make sense. why would GAM do so similar of a strat like that

 

[Stone Ocean]

man Soaz needs to leave league for awhile, how you 0/0/0 this late in the game

It's a start better than his week 1 KDA, at least

 

[Sol Mori]

LZ putting in a top lane sub to put GAM and FNC in panic mode. I honestly still don't see IMT winning with how many mistakes they've made today.

 

[Leezard]

Imt just look so passive. They really needed to find fights instead of just waiting and getting outplayed in the macro game.
This has been a super boring game.

It feels like so many teams are too afraid to do anything and just lose, because you can't expect teams at worlds to decide to fall over and die in the middle of a match.

 

[cHinzo]

Long game for Longzhu, but I didn't feel like they weren't in control the entire game for one minute. Pray did so much damage. Tiebreakers hype?

 

[Kangi]

Three-way tie. The dream.

Also, "Tristana outscales Varus". Nobody outscales Pray.

 

[IHaveIce]

From a post on reddit:

This is some bullshit. Why would ganetype be important

 

[Sol Mori]

Well Janna prevents anyone from getting on Varus and IMT doesn't have that much engage. LZ has Jarven and Shen and can constantly harass Trist.

Time for IMT to go 0-4, so does GAM have anything left to beat FNC?

This is some bullshit. Why would ganetype be important

If you mean the team with the fastest victories get first seed in 3 way tie breakers; how else are you going to do it?

 

[Leezard]

IMT's team comp is looking kinda like the no-cc comps I get to see in solo queue.

 

[SuperBowser]

Wait how did Fnatic make it to tiebreakers. I'm sad I missed the matches today.

 

[Kangi]

NA week 2 in full effect so far.

 

[cHinzo]

Wait how did Fnatic make it to tiebreakers. I'm sad I missed the matches today.

Won against Immortals and Gigabyte today and Gigabyte won against Immortals.

Fnatic is steamrolling this game.

Edit: Immortals just rolled over and died.

 

[Leezard]

What a terrible draft by IMT, and abysmal macro. They're so passive you'd think they were the old Alliance with the old Rekkles. They just wait for their opponents to take kills and objectives.

They deserve the 0-4 day.

This bodes well for TSM though! They also seem to be following the don't do shit and hope the opponent makes a ton of mistakes, so incoming 0-3 from them as well.

IMT does not have the macro ability to really pull off a split push and I honestly hope that every team that decides that they'll take Lulu into Janna loses. Janna is a much better team support and unless your ADC's name is Bang, Pray or Uzi fuck off with the Lulu for ADC support.

NA teams just need to draft a standard comp and stop being the biggest cowards and actually take a risk.

 

[Leezard]

Man, GAM knows to kill Soaz early to get a chance for some sweet tilt.

 

[ShdwDrake]

Just woke up to learn that the 0-10 has already begun... (I just hope I get enough points in my pickem)
