dom had the best time of his life last week then it all crumbled this week LMFAO

I absolutely love how the episode starts with Monte grinning from ear to ear and Dom looks like he just saw a murder.😂

Dom saying Faker was slightly better than Knight is just a blatant crime. Knight was completely invisible the entire series. This isnt the performance you'd expect from the so called "Best mid in China". Also, no recognition for Zeus dismantling 369. Absolute no mention of Gumayusi's 1v2 at the end. No recognition for Keria gapping Missing. It felt like this episode was just excuses over excuses of how JDG couldve but never did. Pathetic honestly.

How the tables have turned now TheShy is Doms only hope

I think the biggest difference between T1 in finals this year compared to last year is that T1 actually has scrim partners. Teams like KT, GenG, KDF, and LSB are actively scrimming with T1 so that T1 can not only hide their strats from the LPL, but they can also stay somewhat sharp too. Last year, T1 players stated that they basically had no one to practice with during the breaks between quarters to finals because every team that lost basically went on vacation.

Shoutout to Dgon for still having a great quality mic while being abroad!

guma could stop a mass shooting at the worlds final venue and he still wouldn’t be mentioned istfg

I knew it's over when JDG picked Bel'Veth and Zeri because if someone watched LPL know these champs are picked when JDG is desperate.

Nah Dom is nasty, now saying that worlds is overrated, blaming all on kanavi when he wasn't the best but, missing messed up pretty bad, both 369 and knight were ghosts pretty much

Pure Cope from Dom the whole time lmao, and Monte and Thorin's(Yeah Thorin's not here, but I also watched Summoning Insight just now) constant arguments whenever T1 wins is always along the lines of T1 played well, but the other team played bad. So as of now, this is the third LPL team to get wrecked by T1, and at this time there should be a conversation about how T1 somehow makes LPL teams play like muppets, rather than genuinely taking away everything T1 does to their opponents, especially the intangibles. It's really disrespectful. I have the least gripe with Monte though, truth be told. Dude is intelligent and he argues both sides most of the time. But Dom though. Man's got enough salt to replenish the salt lost from the Dead Sea.

"LS essentially runs a homelesshelter for pro players"- i love this podcast

Monti insisting telling Dom the past podcast that T1 has the best meta read at this tournament thats why he predicting T1 to take the win over JDG then Dom just simply not getting it and still discrediting T1 and leaning to JDG with his recency bias lmao.. Now he saying basically T1 won just because its their meta... man getting out played and getting out performed on the day isnt just because they have a different perspective and won with it LOL

Is Dom really blaming Kanavi for the entire series? Like sure game 4 he was running it down. But game 1 is entirely 369's fault they picked a very strong rumble meta for him and he got clapped by Zeus. Knight was also invisible with akali in game 1. Oner invaded the red, raptors, krugs he took fukin everything because there is no vision from Rumble (369) and Akali (Knight) , nor even any response at all. Kanavi tried to recover some tempo by ganking mid, make faker recall, and took Oner's raptors, but Faker (Bard is also rotating at this time) is willing to cover for Oner albeit losing some mid tempo, but they are not willing to do the same for Kanavi so of course he will be behind this game. Game 2 was won by Ruler and Kanavi. Kanavi was smurfing that game with his engages. How can you even argue that this is not a Kanavi game. Sure 369 did a decent job, but this is mostly on ganks and engages from Kanavi. Game 3 they are winning early game with Kanavi's gank. He is actually playing good with Wukong here. Sure Varus is not that ahead, but Guma is freakin' turbo gapped in CS here. Guma Keria is getting clapped becauss of the early gank. Zeus as well is down because of again Kanavi's gank. They even dove him under turret. T1 just played better in teamfights this game. T1 just have better setups and engages. So you can hardly blame anyone in this game. Are you really going to blame Ruler for getting caught by Faker? No, right? It's a mistake and Faker just did his thing. So I don't get the hate for Kanavi. You should blame Renekton for not doing anything despite being ahead except when T1 overchased or even Ruler here for his mistake while shopping and getting caught by Zeus. So why is Kanavi the only one getting shit on here? Game 4 Don't get me wrong this game is entirely on Kanavi making mistakes. But you can't blame him for losing the entire series that's some hard cope. Aside from the K'sante and some moments in the Renekton game, 369 barely have any presence on the map, same with Missing and Knight. They're not making any game breaking mistakes, but they're not doing anything either. It's just ridiculous to blame Kanavi for everything

Funny how dom immediately started flaming kanavi as if guma didnt 2v1 ruler and 369 on the other side and won..

2015 SKT was 1 game from the golden road btw, how Monte missed this is crazy...

Sour translated in german means "sauer", which could either mean Sour or Angry. Perfect description for Dom

Faker is ready to activate his last Korean sleeper agent TheShy in finals. Hail Hydra.

Where was the guy last week that was claiming it was nothing but a JDG win

DOM is being such a prick and a biased analyst, it's crazy The fact he is singling out the KOREAN players especially the JUNGLERS when the CHINESE LANERS themselves shat the bed I mean MISSING went missing truly in the game yet he would corner only likes of KANAVI, like MISSING was just like how GHOST apparently won with DAMWON and ironic part is GHOST a world champion lmao unlike MISSING Point is both the teams which DOM dislikes read the meta better than his more liked teams, yes you can argue about people not playing upto the mark but then again WORLDS is where LEGENDS are born and never die Like the GENG (SSG that is) of old won WORLDS more than the new one because they clutched it better in WORLDS than the current one even tho they were pretty abysmal in REGIONAL COMPETITION And mostly the teams which win WORLDS are not generally regional champions cause some teams can evolve better at WORLDS than others Pointing out and singling KOREAN players in LPL team just when the whole team don't evolve is ridiculous, DOM should analyze games as neutral POV rather than having his LPL biased glasses lol

Gald to see Dom shouting out Oner. He really stepped it up and plays like a beast.

DOM always finding ways to blame korean players when Kanavi and Ruler was the only reason they were on that golden road. Knight and 369 choked all games 1,3 and 4 and the only thing he saw was Kanavi.

2016 SKT > 2023 JDG Are you guys seriously saying JDG's broken Golden Road of 2 Domestic and MSI is better than Spring, MSI, Worlds of SKT 2016, heck 2015 SKT is a better Golden Road than 2023 JDG.

Great choice to immediately upload after the weekend! It sucks to have to wait for analysis when the games aren’t as fresh in my memory!

All that matters is who win Worlds. Doesn’t matter if you are domestically dominant in football if you don’t win Champions League. Doesnt’t matter if you are 70+ win regular season NBA team if you don’t win playoffs. Nobody is mad that World Cup is single elimination, either perform on the day or shut up. JDG was the best team, until it mattered the most. I’m sure they would trade all of their other titles this year for winning worlds.

I agree Knight didn't play egregiously bad in this series, but it absolutely should be noted that his inability or unwillingness to play Azir creates quite a large draft gap in this series. You absolutely have to be able to pick Azir in most metas, and that is a huge disadvantage that he can't.

This worlds really exposed the most players, including pros, overreact to patches. The nerf to AD Supports didn't look strong enough to completely remove them especially for a team like T1 that mastered it. Ban Rakan and you have nothing else to worry about.

Say it with me, DOM IS A HAAATTEEERRRRR 😂

Did monte really say Faker's Sylas wasnt good ? When he destroyed LNG with it? Did this goofball watch the game or?

Dom still flaming Kanavi even though he was the reason they got that far in the series.

It’s so funny how fast analyst turn on teams as soon as they lose. Meat ridding all year

Dom is salty and super biased against T1 🤣. Watched enough Last Free Nation episodes to know that he spends like 90-95% of his talking points time about how his favorite team seriously underperformed or choked and never giving any credit to T1’s performance on the day; this is how haters tend to operate. This was consistent with Dom’s behavior even after T1 beat BLG 2-0, then LNG 3-0, and then T1 beat JDG 3-1. Now he’s coping super hard for a WBG win (when the team wasn’t really on his radar until T1 beat JDG) and still strongly believes JDG is the best team (debatable like Monte mentioned) without giving T1 much credit to their performance. Also, note that on the last episode of Last Free Nation (and even episodes before that), Dom seemingly refused to accept any of Monte’s positive points on T1’s strengths…including meta shifts and T1 versatility in drafts. Now Dom is coping real hard again that T1 won through meta shifts and drafts and not giving enough credit for their performance. Occasionally, Dom might sprinkle in some T1 praise on his streams when T1 seems like they are about to win the series to seem like he has some resemblance of balance, but those who have followed Dom’s past know that he’s just a biased T1 hater. That being said…for any fandom, there are extreme fans and anti-fans on each end of the bell curve and Dom definitely falls into the extreme anti-fan territory.

2015 SKT was closer to the golden road. They won spring, won summer with 17-1 record, 1 game away from winning MSI and won worlds with a 15-1 record. 2015 SKT one game away from the golden road

did everyone missed game 1 where ruler took magical journey accidentally like kanavi did and the whole team had to fight that dragon teamfight weird

I think the whole "Faker can only play 2 champs" narrative is kinda weak. Sure he has only played 3 all tournaments, but he's been unstoppable on Orianna and he won T1 the series on Azir, and has been the only player at worlds to win the match up with it vs Ori and done it 3 times. He's been spamming Akali and Yone in solo queue. I just don't know if there's a big reason for him to play anything else unless you force him to

The narrative that the meta fell to T1's pocket is disingenuous. Pushing botlanes was not a thing until T1 brought it out. After LNG got smashed by T1, the other LPL teams started copying the strat. Before that, the botlane meta was just Scaling ADC + Engage Support.

All four teams started playing ranged botlans bc they were all scrimming against SKT and getting shit on. It's not like all those teams were each in an isolated vacuum and just happen to all stumble across the same answers. It's not just some "random wacky meta shift that came out of nowhere". It's literally SKT's own read on the meta and how _they like to play_ on this patch. The meta shift wasn't gifted to them. They chose it.

No discussion on Missing's performance? was practically non-existent aside from G2

DOM tears are so delicious , thanks T1

IWD is the epitome of that KZfaq commenter that always highlights the one ridiculous, obviously troll comment and says “look this is what everyone is saying”

so shy can come back from a shitty start with rumble but there is no way to do that for 369? He got gapped even when he had the last pick, which he chose to go with renek. Whole jdg team is at fault, dont blame just one person.

dom going to insane lengths to solely blame kanavi despite spending the year talking about how JDG are "so good that even if someone is playing bad, everyone else would step up and carry"... why didn't knight, ruler or 369 carry in game 4 if kanavi was playing bad? straight up, they also got outplayed. and if they were playing worse than usual, why not call that out like Dom loves doing with T1 and them choking in finals? why not call out JDG players for playing bad and arguably choking? just crazy how Dom is so salty and goes on mental gymnastics to defend JDG and blame only kanavi. They call out Kanavi for missclicking on the portal, what about when Ruler did that exact mistake and led to a team ace? or how in Game 4 Ruler did nothing despite being funneled so much gold and having a 2-0 early lead? where was the "best player in the world" there?

Everyone saying 2021 LCK math when in fact it's actually originally 2020 LPL math when LCK was ridiculed as a 1 team region

One argument against JDG being the best team ever is how stable the meta has been for them. 369 in top carry meta is not very good. Kanavi in tank jg meta also not very good. Ruler in non-hyper carry meta is also not as good. They were allowed to play the same way all season until quarters worlds while other strong teams in different seasons had to adapt to multiple meta shifts

What happened to the definitive best top laner 369? The best Mid Knight? The best ADC Ruler? Kanavi died 2 times and this all star squad can't recover?

T1 single handedly changed the bot meta in the later stage of worlds which is insane.

tried to get a ticket for the finals. all are sold out lmao. still 5 days left

The amount of copium on dom lol. It sounds like he cares way more about players that have more egregious plays instead of highlighting the players that were invisible the entire series. Kanavi may have been the guy that ultimately lost them the series, but it's not like the other players were that much better. 369 was basically getting gapped by Zeus in every game except game 2. Knight, while not making any game losing plays was the most unimpactful player in the series. You could argue that Kanavi was the only one that was trying to win the series while the others just played to not lose. Missing actually wasn't too bad but he got gapped by Keria's champ pool. Ruler this series showcased his primary shortcomings which Gumayusi eventually exploited when he did his famous 1v2 outplay. Ruler has always been the clean up ADC whose best trait is that his positioning in team fights makes him extremely hard to kill. Players with stronger mechanics than him can easily outplay him in the 1v1. That being said, Ruler's ADC fundamentals are amazing so to beat that, you have to know how to find positions to kill him which only very strong teams and players can exploit.

Was Dgon with the pokemon comparison going for Ghost being good together with Normal type and good against Normal type? Ghost being weak to itself as a standalone fact doesn't really make it a good comparison to the J4/Orianna thing, as you need both a J4 and an Ori analogous type.

both Ghost and Dragon are super effective into themselves

another thing to look at was Legacy in MTG in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Players at the time would pick decks based off the "season" because the format would rotate between what beats the previous meta with having 3 major play styles.

Faker has and had some crazy achievements. He was like 20-0 on LeBlanc and undefeated vs LPL teams.

Dom simultaneously had the worst and best things happen in terms of league, China being the clear best region but his least favorite teams making it to finals lmao

I fkin knew Dom would just blame the korean LOL but lets not talk about knight and 369 getting giga gappped ... OLOLOL but hey whatever.

Knight got fisted and these guys are still talking about faker only playing 2 champs

It's a bit sad that the camera didn't hover to when Faker Solo Killed Knight. And am I the only one that thinks WBG vs BLG isn't a good series. Both teams are fighting who ints harder rather than play the better team. I can prove this cuz WBG luckily got Blue Side on game 1, BLG would be at finals if they got Blue on game 1. Non of them can play Red Side.

2015 SKT is still the closest any team has come to getting the golden road

I want T1 to win just so DOM can Mald. Serves him right.

Is it possible that we are actually on one of the best worlds patches ever and phreak is just the goat ever since he stepped in........ can't be right...

I’m confused about Monte’s comment of Keria potentially not pulling out Bard in that Game 5 against DRX but 1. Keria has historically played Bard such as 2022 MSI and earlier at 2022 Worlds 2. Beryl didn’t even play well on Bard in that game Crisp’s Milio has also been good.

Even though every lead JDG had in all of the games was due to kanavi doing good plays and finding opportunites some are ready shit on him for copage

I have reached a critical point where I am unable to stop buying and chewing the heads and bodies of trolli sour brite crawlers. The mind bending sour thrills have taken a stronghold of my purchasing habits (at least 50 bags at this point) That said, where can I buy the big bags?

Wow finally caught one live

T1 doesn't lose to LPL at worlds, but then again they were supposed to lose.

Monte's *criminally* brushed over joke about LS basically running a "homeless shelter for pro players" had me DEAD!!! 💀😝🤣💀a literal critical strike, I was instantly rendered incapacitated by crippling laughter. Highlight of the show for me - I can't believe how dirty they did you! shit deserved more shine forreal! pahahahahhah 👏

Never heard of this podcast, but it seems to be the only video talking about the finals matchup so far between T1 vs Weibo. I get Weibo hasn't been consistent all year but they have been doubted the entirety of worlds, every step of the way. Even when they faced BLG, people doubted and talked crap about their easy opponents throughout this worlds. But was BLG not a legit contender that people favored before their series? BLG knocked WBG out of the LPL playoffs last year to make worlds. BLG keeps on beating WBG but things changed. Even in this finals, T1 is heavily favored. I hope WBG smokes all their doubters (and all the wrong analysts who have doubted them the entire way)...the whole pack!

dgon looking like old school thorin😂😂

on the game 1 invade i wanna add that orner also took the krugs as well

Let's be real, Dom is a closet T1 fan he is excited for the t1 boys.

I dont understand the narrative about faker 3 pool champs. Not like is career isn't long and he hasnt played other champs before.

next weekend in Vegas is the F1 race so that's probably why they're there

Worlds is HUGE, its really important. So, to call JDG the best team in the world when they lost 3-1 doesnt sound right to me.

Doms excuse for both LNG and now JDG are a shame. First LNG just ran it down and now JDG, who was the best team in the world, had a jungler paid off lol

I am a T1 fan but I am also a fan of good league of legends gameplay by pro teams. But these jokers here are so anti T1 and this two espeically never lets go of a chance To diminish t1 achievements

I wish worlds had double elim so there was more going on and the tournament could actually be about who's better and not just who's been better on the day.

Maybe Bin actually broke his hand punching that machine and thats why he got smashed by theshy later on

Dom excuses are hilarious... This happens for every fight.. along with the bard stun over the wall on ori.. wasnt fakers q on cool down so he couldnt eq combo that? sooo ya.

That will be very interesting, will T1 blind pick Aatrox as they always do, against someone like TheShy that has answers. If T1 does win with blind pick Aatrox, I can see how the rest of the series will go.

Surely T1 can't fumble the second biggest layup they have received.

Why does the LOL fanbase no get that you can have a close series that isnt a 3-2? The first two games both teams stomped each other.. but game 3 and 4 either team could have won it.. but T1 (Faker) clutched up in game 3 and Kanavi fumbled game 4 for JDG when they had good position A great series by both teams

So all of sudden dom is underestimating Worlds? WTF?

is Dgon actually doing an EDG Graves cosplay?

for some unknown reasons, T1 makes all LpL best junglers looks so bad against them? (Tarzan is beyond bad tho), BLG Xun, LNG Tarzan, and JDG Kanavi who's known as best Jungler of 2023. is it because of Oner's pathing? Keria keep roaming or Faker's magical wards?

Would be interesting to see WBG ban azir, rell, neeko, leaving up aatrox, pick ori and then ksante/ornn and Ashe/kiting bot lane to counter armorpen aatrox and see if faker can play other champs

I am here for Dom's tears 😂😂. Love you guys but it has to be said that it's hilarious finals are TheShy vs T1, his worst nightmare

2014 c9 is my favorite team comp of all time, followed by skt with marin (can't remember the year sorry).

I would love to see a whole year without patches. I believe the meta development would be so interesting. Look at games like melee. No patch in 20 years and things are still changing.

Its funny how cvmax watches vods and says knight is the worst performing member of jdg while everyone blaming kanavi since his mistakes stood out.

Dom is so salty he almost wants to cry from how hard monte is rubbing it in

DGON, Is the embargo'd thing related to Hearsteel?

The thing is, the people saying "t1 has been the best the whole year" don't actually believe that. They say that to get back on people that say "t1 doesn't stand a chance". Dom and a few others always does these exaggerations but can never accept the rebuttal. This is why Caedrel is the best.

The loser bracket works only if the team who reaches the final form the winner bracket loses there is a rematch, because i wouldn t be fair for them to not have a 2nd chance while the other ones who lost got that 2nd chance

What interests me now. Was then chovys games vs blg that horrible ? I have to rewatch it but I remember chovy doing some very bad mechanical misplays on akali or yone but there is nothing he could have done in the azir games no ?

IWillCopinate 369 played way worse than Kanavi. But yeah let’s blame Kanavi for « solo losing the golden road »

Chess is a better example of a patchless game that has ever changing metas

RNG 2018 is a team everyone forgot because they got upset at worlds. But they were dominating the whole year

Gotta love when Dom gets proven wrong

Stop coping. JDG got dumpstered

I will say, I don't think the narrative that T1's opponents choked or inted is fair. It's all fun and games for the memes and lulz, but the people who are legitimately saying T1's road was a cake walk while Weibo's weren't didn't watch the games with their brains turned on.

nobody mention jeus has covid last world final

1. JDG lost because of a Draft Gap. I don't know if its because A. Missing and Ruler that can play range comp, or B. 369 and Knight can't literally play Rumble and Azir. The Velveth issue just came out because of those 2 reasons. A jungler that can carry and also engage squishy backline instead of shitty sololaners. And once you lean so much on one player, they collapse. 2. Meta change does not benifit any team as a whole. Maybe individual player with individual champion pool. And big champion pools are one aspect of greatness of pro players. You can also say JDG's players benefits from all the Meta of Spring, MSI, and Summer for favoring Value/Late Game 5v5 over Lane prio. Would they ever have won MSI if the patch was fixed to early spring? I can definitly say no.
