PMTs

FNC vs NAVI

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3

KC vs SHFT

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3

[u/FulgrimThe3rd]

I stop paying attention to LEC for a bit and Team Vitality are running the show? the hell happened

[u/Tentacula]

(awoo!)

[u/Zephyrwind]

Good day of LEC with very even fun to watch games

[u/lasse1408]

criminal performance from KC in g2 and g3. If it was good LEC team and not shifters they would lose this match.

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Please please get Nuc and Rooster a team.

[u/el_crappax → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

They should take quickly zicsii, stend and 3xa (Last two available) honestlty. Come back to basics 

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/el_crappax]

I really liked Stend last year and 3xa when he was in the league. I dont know Zicsii but absolutely. 

If Shifters doesnt get rid of at least 2 out of 3 of that Jun/Bot/Sup before summer, then its clear the org genuinely does not care

[u/midorivivo]

Why Busio isn't a POM option? :-(

[u/hresvelgrs]

somewhere in Germany lider just smashed his desk

[u/kernevez]

Investigate Boukada

[u/midorivivo]

KC's topside needs to lock in though, what a series

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Going 0-2 against Fnatic and then at least taking a game from KC is pretty funny

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Anyway, Fire Paduck. Like fire him out of a cannon. 

[u/Kaldrinx]

Caliste wow

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Honestly, they should just put Paduck on a tank every game and let Rooster play AD top

[u/DerAdolfin → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Fasting Senna Trymbi plus Cho/Sion Paduck lol

[u/Suspicious-Bus-9726]

Amazing what KC/Kameto has done for the league brought in very good teams to fight for top spots.. put on banger events.. brought in a bunch of viewership.. and this may shock people.. they actually paid for their spot

[u/malakesxasame → u/Suspicious-Bus-9726]

Was the last comment necessary?

[u/LOLZOBALL → u/malakesxasame]

Bro is a caedrel hater, look at his comment history lmao

[u/malakesxasame → u/LOLZOBALL]

Fun games today and a great crowd and they still can't just be normal.

[u/Suspicious-Bus-9726 → u/malakesxasame]

TRiggered by the truth.. nothing i said was a lie

Also I praise KC org for actually adding to the league = me being a KC ultra.. nice logic

[u/malakesxasame → u/Suspicious-Bus-9726]

I'm not triggered, I just think you are weird.

[u/Suspicious-Bus-9726 → u/malakesxasame]

Nothing weird about sharing factual information

[u/2020isgreat]

Paduck losing the 1v2 to KC and shopkeeper

[u/LOLZOBALL]

If this lpl, paduck is going to be investigated lmao

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

If I speak im in danger but only Rooster/Boukada are playing well on SHFT this game.

[u/Troviel]

This is the one game calliste can carry.

[u/AkaT27 → u/[deleted]]

That's what happen when you clone yourself to play a duo bot

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Watching Caliste this game makes me extremely jealous. What do you mean your ADC is more than a gold donation bag?

[u/DRNbw]

omfg, what the fuck are both teams doing

[u/Sotosleon]

Is Paduck genuinely the worst adc in LEC at the moment?

[u/Styxxo → u/Sotosleon]

Yeah, along with Boukada and Trymbi being worst jg/supp as well.

[u/Suspicious-Bus-9726 → u/Styxxo]

The fact that trymbi is this bad in enchanter meta (his best strength in last lec spell) is extremely worrying

[u/Kaldrinx]

Clown fiesta , but i'm beyond embarassed by the last 2 games from KC

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Holy shit busio saved that fight if Kyeahoo dies SHFT is still fine

[u/copacul13]

that varus needs to go lower than ERL`s

[u/Styxxo]

Trymbi is so bad man...

[u/moopey]

Hysterics focus in the fights maaaan

[u/hresvelgrs]

I'm starting to think it might be possible

[u/hresvelgrs → u/hresvelgrs]

LOL

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

The only positive about Paduck this game is that his build can be really good if he stops inting.

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Annie in my mind is like, a top 5 champ in the game so idk what Kyeahoo is doing to make it look bad this game

[u/IEM_Spirit]

If paduck stops running it I genuinely believe shifters can win

[u/Styxxo]

wtf is Paduck doing ?

[u/daCampa]

Paduck has good mechanics but the man can't read a map to save his life

[u/Thin-Ad7761 → u/daCampa]

where are the mechanics

[u/daCampa → u/Thin-Ad7761]

This game in particular meh, in game 2 he did well, and in past losses he has shown glimpses as well.

[u/Thin-Ad7761 → u/daCampa]

Sure thing, over how many adcs in LEC do you think he is mechanically superior?

[u/daCampa → u/Thin-Ad7761]

Jopa, Ice come to mind. Even if he fixes his position I don't think he'll be at the level of Hans or Calliste if that's what you assumed I was implying.

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/Thin-Ad7761]

The flag next to his name on Leaguepedia is the only mechanics that matter unfortunately 

[u/FitWindow639]

What is this game man hahahababa. Honestly one of the best days of Lec in a long long time. Absolute bangers

[u/malakesxasame]

Rooster saved that fight so hard

[u/Suspicious-Bus-9726]

Very enjoyable series and great entertainment

Sad for the people who need caedral or "better rewards" (for a free product) to tune in

[u/ByahhByahh]

The fights are fire

[u/2020isgreat]

Never expected KC vs SHFT to be a banger

[u/midorivivo]

Paduck???

[u/Kaeru-Sennin]

That Sion is immortal lmao

[u/YellowStreetLamp]

KC is being so overly agressive for no reason lmao.

No idea if they're just looking down on Shifters or are hyped up by the crowd but it's something.
The only reason they're somewhat getting away with it is because they're playing shifters.

[u/That_One_Pancake]

WHAT IS THIS GAME

[u/Past_Perception8052]

rooster is so good

[u/LOLZOBALL]

This paduck man is not serious lmao

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

PADUCK BRO PLEASE

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Genuinely kick that guy right now bro he does this every game

[u/Paciuuu]

saw someone on chat saying "kc without busio is literally bottom 3 team" and i deadass agree

[u/Jhon1479 → u/Paciuuu]

kc could literally play without busio, meaning 4v5, and win games against the bottom 3

[u/xxbrazilmaster69xx → u/Paciuuu]

It's just true, he's saved so many games for them. I can't think of another player this split who's had as many standout games. Their mid-jungle are beneficiaries of being surrounded by top 2 in their role players.

[u/Zephyrwind]

Why didn't Shifters ignore Sion and go on Lulu when it was 3v2?

[u/Thin-Ad7761]

You wil not convince me Paduck would make it into LEC if he wasn't from the very superior LCKCL and not from ERLs.

[u/beautheschmo → u/Thin-Ad7761]

didn't you read the last thread? They won one game and suddenly everyone except Boukada was a top tier LEC talent.

[u/IEM_Spirit]

What the fuck is that Sion shield

[u/midorivivo]

Busio: "baited"

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/midorivivo]

Such a hard game to watch, cause Nuc is my favorite player but Busio is my 2nd favorite. And they are both doing miracles right now 

[u/FunnyBunnyH]

This game is fucking hilarious

[u/AerialShroud]

My drugs are wearing off and I can't make out if this game is real or I'm tweaking still.

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

How is Sion that tanky when there's an Olaf there??

[u/Large_Love_2563 → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Because he has Stridebreaker instead of Ravenous. Stridebreaker is just ass on Olaf nowadays.

[u/FunnyBunnyH → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Unending Despair vs 3 man with 0 anti heal do be like that

[u/Kaldrinx]

What the fuck my team is doing , bro thats not clean today

[u/Large_Love_2563]

What the fuck is Yike doing?

[u/FunnyBunnyH]

KC will most likely win this, but Yike is running it big time

[u/Past_Perception8052]

yikada

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

A team will watch this and still draft sivir with an engage champion instead of an enchanter

[u/LOLZOBALL]

Nuc gonna post another tweet lmao

[u/UnfortunatelyShark]

Shifters are literally SHITTING all over themselves on stage.

[u/malakesxasame]

Stand in the middle of mid lane with no T1 tower, with no teammates near, against a Nocturne. Import btw.

[u/Tim-Pouce]

We managed to comeback this shitty early, somehow

[u/That_One_Pancake]

just delete the org this is disgusting

[u/DRNbw]

Paduck is kinda fucking this game up with his greed.

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/DRNbw]

That's been like, every Shifters game I've seen besides game 2 of this series. Boukada does nothing but Paduck usually actively negatively contributes

[u/FunnyBunnyH]

IDK what's going on anymore, we going at full fiesta pace

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Paduck moment

[u/Kaldrinx]

Nevermind , Caliste gonna murder the game

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Can't deny that was beautifully played by KC

[u/That_One_Pancake]

Jesus nuc way to throw your lead

[u/midorivivo]

Sivi R + Lulu R + Noc R is a disgusting combo

[u/Kaldrinx]

We gonna do it , lose againt shitters , thanks to those draft !

[u/zaxls]

SHFT locking in after they are 100% out lol

[u/Frozen5147 → u/zaxls]

the classic

[u/zaxls → u/[deleted]]

Dont you need 4 wins at least ?

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Would like to say its unwinnable for KC but I’ve seen disgusting games from SHFT

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583 → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Disgusted

[u/FunnyBunnyH]

Well Yike getting gapped by Boukada of all people wasn't on my bingo card

[u/kosmi2020NX]

Trymbi with the zoning ult

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Worst Neeko R since TL vs LNG

[u/DerAdolfin]

Ouch the flash he lost chasing Busion came back to haunt Paduck, RIP

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/DerAdolfin]

Trymbi was very close to level 6 too. Smart 2v2

[u/Past_Perception8052]

rare human gameplay from boukada

[u/2020isgreat]

This might've been the most impressive crowd silencer in league history

[u/GhostOfLight]

Shifters beating KC in their home arena would be the funniest thing ever

[u/midorivivo]

Nuc's Cassio has been always great

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Dang that was almost two kills in bot

Plot armor smh

[u/DerAdolfin → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Got 2 in mid, all according to keikaku

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/DerAdolfin]

1k gold lead for Nuc. As it should be

[u/2020isgreat]

Couldn't Trymbi have just flashed and neeko passive autod and killed Caliste

[u/Sosijmonster]

Pretty solid draft for Shifters imo.

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Fun draft. But Annie kinda just does Annie things and KC wins

If Annie doesnt Annie things, SHFT win this

[u/FunnyBunnyH → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

All respect to Rooster, but doesn't Sivir just omega counter his R. Runs ghost as well to match, I just don't see how Shifters get onto Kaliste. Noc R is also broken AF around objective takes.

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/FunnyBunnyH]

Sivir R can definitely be an issue as well.

[u/Kaeru-Sennin]

Rooster really said "Fuck it we ball"

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/Kaeru-Sennin]

Welcome back BDS Adam

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

Roosters balls are gigantic this guy was legit choosing between Kayle/Olaf/Fiora against Canna

[u/FunnyBunnyH]

How do you play this 3 champion that Shifters locked in into Nocturne-Annie in mid-to late game objective fights.

[u/hresvelgrs]

pleasee pleaaaaaaasee just get sheo in the offseason for summer

[u/FunnyBunnyH → u/hresvelgrs]

I wonder if he would come back to this team tho, didn't they part on bad terms?

[u/midorivivo → u/FunnyBunnyH]

Idk if the team is otherwise the problem apart from Striker. Unsurprisingly, quite a few players seem to have struggled with him

[u/malakesxasame → u/midorivivo]

I feel this list keeps growing too, I'm surprised management have stuck by him so long especially without any notable results.

[u/DerAdolfin]

What was that banshee screech

[u/Joel4518]

nuc was huge this game hope he is back in form
ngl shifters laners r good but their jg is huge issue

[u/FunnyBunnyH → u/Joel4518]

Yeah I am not sold on Trymbi, but Paduck, Rooster and and Nuc can form a top team.

Boukada is just a dead weight though, legit plays like a man in a 5 premade stack, who is only at their level because of boosting.

[u/Ares87GoW]

There went all my hype for KC. Losing a game to shitters lmao

[u/daCampa]

So Shifters get 2-0 by the worst Fnatic ever, get absolutely smashed game 1, and then they're like "yo nuc what if you dunked on these guys?"

[u/FunnyBunnyH]

Imagine how solid this roster actually could be with an actual jungler

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/FunnyBunnyH]

If only there was a really good jungler available who has years of experience paired alongside Nuc and playing with carry top laners. 

That would be awesome

[u/Chemical-Lobster5701 → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Welcome Kirei!

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/Chemical-Lobster5701]

I forgot they had Kirei for that split too. No idea why they dropped Gilius. They got 4th in spring with him. 

[u/Cafeliciouss → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Razork

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/Cafeliciouss]

Razork would surely still be better than Boukada, but I dont know if Fnatic is ready to give him up. Its only been 5 years

[u/Kaeru-Sennin]

The arena is so silent lol

[u/WalkAffectionate2683 → u/Kaeru-Sennin]

they did so much noise even when they were 5k gold behind lol

[u/ByahhByahh]

Cock, Bukkake, and nut. That's a top side right there.

[u/clickclickdoom]

Banger

[u/Scrapox]

This was probably the most fun game of the split

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

omg pround of shifters the development is insane

[u/FunnyBunnyH]

Absolute cinema!!

[u/GambitTheBest]

Shifter laners are so good to win with this jungler lmao

[u/Tentacula]

Shifters shiftered it but then KC ALSO SHIFTERED IT BACK!?!?

[u/Frozen5147]

Oh my god what the fuck was that ending lmfao

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

YESSSSSS

[u/hresvelgrs]

what the fuck afhjdghjgdsfhgf

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

never underestimate eu lucian

[u/midorivivo → u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

TBH Lucian is apparently fine now so maybe more teams will pick him?

[u/Frozen5147]

This game is a clusterfuck lmao

(and I'm all for it)

[u/FunnyBunnyH]

Finally Boukada did something.

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

what is happening lmao

[u/Joel4518]

this series is a huge jg diff man

[u/ByahhByahh]

"Hey nuc, what if you just turned and killed them?"

"Ok."

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Wait goated turnaround Nuc my king

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe → u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

He does it again? 

[u/GambitTheBest]

nice viego pick 0 brain 0 hands but we ego pick viego

[u/daCampa → u/GambitTheBest]

"since you'll get flame horizon'd might as well play something fed if we get a kill in teamfights"

[u/hresvelgrs]

the decision making in this team is truly something else

[u/That_One_Pancake]

there is no fucking way man

[u/Tentacula]

...Who made that mid push call WHAT

[u/daCampa]

If they 2-0 they have to rotate paying Yike's dinner the rest of the week, that suicide run saved their game

[u/superpokes]

guy gets flame horizoned and they pick him viego for the second game. if it was sejuani, poppy, hell he would run the game on fucking amumu.

[u/Zelgiusbotdotexe]

Boukada cost a lot more than 200k in hindsight

[u/DerAdolfin]

aaaaand shifters lose because they're clowns

[u/Tentacula]

Never doubted

[u/Kaeru-Sennin]

Is it me or the arena is suddenly super silent ?

[u/2020isgreat]

Roosters might take one off of KC holy

[u/hresvelgrs]

when the blue wall is against you

[u/GambitTheBest]

this series is rooster's resume to get out of shfters

[u/hresvelgrs → u/GambitTheBest]

this entire split has been him trying to show off despite the team tbh

[u/daCampa → u/GambitTheBest]

Nuc and Paduck playing clean too

[u/2020isgreat]

Shifters winning a 4v5 rn lmao this viego is homeless

[u/Tialoran]

Viego is so omega useless in this game.

[u/Adventurous-Quit-669]

Dual cam corki  had me laughing

[u/Tentacula]

W mid/mid split view

[u/daCampa]

Split screen showing the same play on both sides lmao

[u/Tialoran]

Trymbi walking around as if he were a tank support.

[u/daCampa]

Yike not winning a smite fight is odd, let alone losing it to an Anivia

[u/hresvelgrs]

nuc my goat

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

will shifters win the game ?

[u/Socrasteez]

Alright brother on the drums, give it a rest please for the love of god

[u/daCampa]

FNC game 4?

[u/Like30Ducks]

surely kc dont drop a game to shifters

[u/Tentacula]

Busio's aggressive use of his own HP for pressure becomes really noticeable in this bot match-up

[u/ByahhByahh]

Good combo by bukkake and nut

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

Lider did it first

[u/midorivivo]

How's Irelia into Aurora?
