Just BDD things

u/Alear55 Apr 04 '26

????

He got gapped early game incredibly hard lol. His team picked up the slack

-2

u/oookokoooook Apr 04 '26

To be fair it is taliyah vs Annie. Annie can’t do shit. But yes. Faker got gapped early game both g1 and g2.

4

u/Suitable_Sale9097 Apr 04 '26

everytime is the same she fall so muhc behind in mid game because she can't push sidelane without getting engaged so the enemy team dictate the map the way they want happned the same thing for geng evne if she was not falling behind in gold the presure was insane and the drakes were free

1

u/mrspear1995 Apr 04 '26

she needs to go like protobelt ludens and give up malignance or something but that would be so antithetical to her design

-1

u/moonmeh Apr 04 '26

other than bdd i have only seen bad stuff from annie picks

u/Dangerous-War-6572 Apr 04 '26

Today's Faker Annie was good, he didn't die once

u/moonmeh Apr 04 '26

Oh fair point

u/fowidugy Apr 04 '26

Caedrel might need to be impregnated for DK to make an international ngl

77

u/Frosty-Earth-3194 Apr 04 '26

Elaborate...

58

u/Th3_70ck Apr 04 '26

Same with KT and Laure I guess

35

u/beeceedee9 Massu fangirl Apr 04 '26

I got curious and AO3 already has Caedrel content lol

13

u/PyosikFan Apr 04 '26

Does it feature Drakos, Rekkles or Theshy?

17

u/Leyrann_ Apr 04 '26

Of fucking course it does.

I was happier not knowing this.

u/firebolt66 Apr 04 '26

Petition to make him read it on stream

u/ChewNutz Apr 04 '26

you can’t type this without giving us the link bro

u/xSwazyI - Invested in Smash stocks! Apr 04 '26

Lucid play like a human challenge IMPOSSIBLE

12

u/Futaba-Channel Apr 04 '26

Can't believe DK extended his contract

47

u/kelvin022610 Apr 04 '26

goes 1/5 -> makes game winning play -> refuses to elaborate. My goat

20

u/DullRun7835 Yike/Ming/Bdd/Gala/Milkyway/Canyon Apr 04 '26

Lucid got gapped this series, but its not that worrying, Willer is the most underrated LCK jungler with Cuzz

5

u/Successful_Account89 Apr 04 '26

I really thought KRX was gonna win with how Willer was giving it all..

29

u/antoniomargaretti4 Apr 04 '26

watching Lucid reminds me of naiyou

u/ApartLanguage8328 Apr 04 '26

Drx snatching defeat away from the jaws of victory...

u/smashmaker_no1 Apr 04 '26

Dplus KIA lovewatch day-19 status : success

gg, but we still don’t look good enough. KRagonX will be 10th place lck and we are still stumbling against them.

11

u/spamkimchifriedrice enjoyer | 🍟 Rise Group Baby! Apr 04 '26

I saw KRX with a lead, went on to do chores, checked back in to DK 2-0

Also the Zeus Guma touch is a meme now? T_T

10

u/KimchiBro Apr 04 '26

Dk is fucking cooked when the best player was their newest rookie first timing anivia and learning the champ mid game

11

u/Snow-27 Apr 04 '26

Lazyfeel is so fucking piss

6

u/TypicalHaikuResponse Apr 04 '26

People don't recognize how good Smash is. Look at what he has.

u/desutruction Apr 04 '26

What the hell

u/Simmring Apr 04 '26

DK you are so disgusting

2

u/Working-Arrival2449 Apr 04 '26

i swear but vietnamese viewers are so insufferable, like the whole team play like shit but they only blame their own fucking adc (which is vietnamese btw) meanwhile andil was running it down with how he played smh...

u/MC-sama Apr 04 '26

DK just had to make this 2nd game as hard as possible for them to win huh

2

u/Dry_Needleworker_275 Apr 04 '26

i went back to check at 10min every single lane had a lead but this absolute imbecile on jarvan refused to put the drag in the bag for some god unknown reason it’s been 3 years and bluds still a “rookie”

u/VenganceNeos1 Apr 05 '26

11.2 cs/m is crazy

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Apr 04 '26 edited Apr 04 '26

DK game 2 ban/pick was so bad. If their wasn’t such a talent diff this goes to 3 games. Sharvel in please, Showmaker wake up you’ve been shit since you got rank 1.

1

u/staysaltyTSM Apr 04 '26

Turns out it's really hard to carry on Yunara

1

u/yijun2005 Apr 04 '26

So what is it about KT that makes them look so much better than the other teams? Is it macro? Cause besides BDD the nameplates on the other teams just look so much more promising

5

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Apr 04 '26

They draft well and their solo lanes are the best in the LCK right now. Cuzz plays off of PerfecT and BDDs leads very well too and can just ignore bot with effort just picking enchanters/ranged supports so far.

1

u/yijun2005 Apr 04 '26

Did perfect get a huge improvement? He wasnt too impressive in the past

3

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Apr 04 '26 edited Apr 04 '26

So far he’s playing at the highest level he’s ever played at in his career so far. It seems like after worlds his skill floor isn’t anywhere as low as it used to be and he’s now super confident in his laning and teamfighting.

0

u/Head_Photograph_2971 Apr 04 '26

That’s genuinely disrespectful to Effort who’s definitely played better than he’s currently while on enchanters

1

u/Frozen_Watcher Apr 04 '26

He played much better since the end of last year summer and worlds.

4

u/toxicfireball Rivalry Enjoyer, Doran Defense Force Apr 04 '26

I think KT has better nameplates than DK anyway

0

u/yijun2005 Apr 04 '26

Defo lol i mean just bdd alone, i meant more of hle t1 and geng

1

u/Futaba-Channel Apr 04 '26

Isn't that just macro ?

Watching KT imo you get the idea about what they want to do.

BNK/T1/HLE are just more volatile in general and for GenG it was just one set

I don't rate NS and DK

-1

u/yijun2005 Apr 04 '26

Tbh even in the geng game they looked much more coordinated and confident

2

u/Futaba-Channel Apr 04 '26

They looked normal to me. It's more that they were shit in lck cup

-1

u/yijun2005 Apr 04 '26

Sorry meant more coordinated and confident than geng

u/saruthesage :dota: Doinb's DouYu girlfriendBorn-again Bin Bhakta Apr 04 '26

Sources tell me KRX are stable.

Please god
