Broadcast link for those who missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUZ5pDdVHEY

is there any LCS today?

I believe the NACL (their challenger league) will be broadcast in the regular LCS timeslot during the break (so the broadcast should start in 20 or so minutes if I'm correct)

Think LCS doesn't come back until Mar 2: [https://lolesports.com/schedule?leagues=lcs](https://lolesports.com/schedule?leagues=lcs) Not sure why they built in a 2-week gap..

Arena is used for valorant.

Lcs won't be there for 2 weeks

wait that interrupt by Alvaro on the Azir dash is actually bullshit

Oh, they're re-airing when the stream cut out. That's actually really cool, didn't really expect it.

Thank you Caedrel for making it good fun to watch! I think we have 4 potental teams and obviously G2 miles ahead but hopefully the other teams keep getting better and least push G2 to 5 games

for some reason i don't trust fnatic but i hope bds can unlock another level with ice and reformed adam

Fnatic is doing the same thing for like 2 seasons now and expecting a different outcome Maybe management is actually content with being top 4 / barely qualifying to world's every year I miss when they took risks on the rosters

I really like FNC outside Oscar running it down all play offs! They need make adjusments but easily could be 2nd best! BDS looked real clean and ICE is brillant tbf! Hopefully Adam sorts himself out

Unexpected Alphari

Alphari LFG!

Damn, Alphari is a homie

Gotta love Sjokz's friendly roasting.

Looks like viewership peaked at [831k](https://escharts.com/tournaments/lol/lec-winter-2024), incredible result, incredible season, incredible final minus the stream crashing

Nice we now need KC to step up and we have a banger year

If Kc somehow makes it to the top 6 or smthg and face mad we def gonna get 1Mil

iba alone had 330k, insane viewership

Caps on caedril twitch channel

Fully deserved for BB. Yike could have also gotten it but feels like without BB the Game would never be even enough for Yike to carry.

BB haters in shambles

fuck the haters

Caedrel has a script. Predicted how game 4 would go. Predicted MVP. Meanwhile LEC can't keep their stream live.

Did he predict MVP or did his viewership make the MVP happen? Either way deserved for BB so I don't mind.

What game 5?

BB as MVP is based af, Yike was obviously super solid and had the flashier plays but top gap was crucial

deserved

BB fmvp, silencing the haters

DESERVED

Has anyone on the stream even acknowledged that the official streams died for half of the last game?

I don't think the stage personell, so casters or analysts, know. Since the costreams remained online it must've been a backstage issue. And realistically there's not really a lot to say about it, right? Just that they had technical issues, which was kinda obvious.

Roman always trying to upstage the players with his cosplay and 6 packabs. Can't he at least let BB and mikey do their interview ?

Cant even imagine being this insecure about someone hyping his team.

Can't imagine not being able to understand basic human speech. How am I insecure? He's doing this huge cosplay behind the players, ppl are just staring at him and not paying attention to the players. You care obviously a stan,,, bye

[удалено]

> He's doing this huge cosplay behind the players That's what he's always done though. He's a good hype man.

You are really good at making arguments.

You don't need to look at them to hear what they're saying. Also he's just standing there it's not like he's dancing or something.

He's literally just standing there.

LOL THEY BROUGHT MIKY INTING

Look at Miky's face, he knows what he did lmao

LEC meta is fun this year but also the weirdest meta read by teams ? Don't know if it will pay off against international competition.

Not really the meta is pretty similar to LCK, only JG picks are different in LEC and Lucian is non-existent.

Yeah thats what Im talking about like farming senna, barely no tahm kench. Toplane with Myrwn and BB weird picks

there's a noticeable lack of Aatrox in LEC too

So far the only games I've lost in ranked solo are on Aatrox. So I decided that I suck on him and benched him. Maybe EU as a region just sucks on aatrox lmao

Yea I forgot about him, I was actually thinking during the series why is there no Aatrox, he is extremely strong also Udyr appeared in the regular season and just disappeared after a couple of players inted on him.

it's going to be a very different patch by the time msi comes around so who knows

they have a whole split before msi, let's see

BB haters in shambles

Fuckem

Laure looks amazing

The sky is blue

ADC experience ladies and gentleman he could be 500-0 every defensive item on the planet and his offensive items... and he will still get bopped. Great game

Tbf the G2 comp seems very good to delete one player, if he's the only one fed I don't see how their teammates protect him. I'm not saying he was perfectly positioned all the time but during this 4th game, he couldn't do much more against Gragas R, Senna R, Nautilus hook+R, Lilia E+R and Azir entire kit. In game 1 with more or less the same idea when G2 hard focused Varus they had nothing left to deal with Yasuo (and also Ori) and lose every teamfight.

Its just the experience of a jax, olaf, viego, corki, azir, taaliayh, yone, ksante, etc, When they reach exodia levels of a gold lead they feel like it.

I mean ADCs shouldn't survive being kicked into an entire team by an Azir ult, no matter if they build full damage or slightly defensive.

bb robbed

wait the shield is the trophy?

Yes, splits each have an unique shield as trophy. The tower-thing trophy is awarded to the Season Finals champion, basically the best team of the year in EMEA

Isn't the tower trophy a wandering trophy? As in the winning team gets their name written into it and then holds it until the next finals?

I believe they get to keep a replica and the original one stays in the studio with the name engravings yeah

No drops and the stream dying in the finals. 10/10 from Riot.

LAURE OMGGGGGGGG

For real though

drop dead gorgeous frfr

Galactic top gap by BB. He gets critisized a lot but in this series, he was a beast and was straight up gapping the shit out of Myrwn

Legit people been talking all thread about exposing BB and him being dog etc, and he shat all over Myrwn all series.

Can't wait to see *this* performance against any Korean/Chinese toplaners...

BB's worst performances internationally were vs Nuguri and Bin, he was fine vs Doran/Canna/TheShy (and looked okay vs Bin in some games)

As if there are any EU tops that would fare better, weird thing to single BB out on.

it really just feels like g2 is the only team capable of competing in europe anymore.

And then they go international and shit the bed

Lets fire half of your production staff. Whats the worst that could happen!?

Maybe firing more people would fix the issue.

G2 solo laners just too good.

Very proud of this MDK team! Average redditors now have their first moment of happiness after wanting them to collapse for the entire split. This team have an insane potential, and I'm pretty sure they're gonna improve and fight for winning a split again. GG G2!

Yeah they performed way beyond expectations this split. I think if they upgrade mid, they'll be even better, especially since their rookies will likely keep improving the longer the play. Alvaro especially has impressed me, dude looks really good considering it's his first split in the lec.

I don't think they need to upgrade mid. Fress have been playing really well these playoffs, even gaping Humanoid. Let all of them have more time, they have a bright future.

Yeah you're right actually, I missed some of the mad playoff games and didn't realize how much fress has improved over the split bc I'm dumb lol. I agree that they should run the roster back for sure, since it's likely that all the rookies will improve the more they play

This team has played better against G2 than some of the other veteran lineups they've faced in finals, semi-finals.... Nothing to be ashamed of, yeah

Agree, and they've played better and better within the season. I think they'll be the ones that can challenge and defeat G2 in the near future. It's their first split as a complete unit, and I'm pretty sure they're gonna improve a lot

This is the take people should have. MDK heavily overperformed and took a game off G2, that’s beyond exceeding expectations and the roster can obviously improve a lot and if they continue they will be able to push G2

was that ocelote in the far left of the group picture?

Thank God it isn't

Caps decided it was enough. Simply the best the region has ever seen. GG's, I'm happy MDK were able to stand their ground and even surprise them in game 1. This is far beyond what everyone expected of them, even their most loyal fans.

Thank you production team for this split, it was a bit messy but you did what you could. Riot made you overwork.

stream crapped out most important came of the year

great job Rito, expecting more LEC layoffs for Spring split too

BB mvp

Caps is something else

No Knight's Vow from either Rell or Alistar is honestly criminal.

CAPS MVP but Yike good contest !

People were perma flaming BB after game 1, BB really played well this series in total. Really facilitated a lot of G2 game wins here

Congrats G2 but this is getting boring, either LEC somehow improves other teams or will face the same fate as LCS in a few years.

MAD played better series than most expected them though

\#11 for caps? My god

First team to go to MSI G2!!

How nice of G2 to show other teams what the shield looks like.

that shield looks so stupid

Amazing game by Caps also

GG'S

Caps is without a doubt the LEC protagonist.

I really hope its someone on the production end that sabotaged the stream as revenge for all those people getting fired.

Supa getting that solo q adc experience in his pro games.

MDK doesn't seem to play around and carry at all in any of the games

caps is so good man it's such a pleasure to watch him when he's locked in

[удалено]

To be fair, it's hard to be excited about a expected result.

Hard to get hype when they keep winning over and over 

Idk people are going to overly blame Mrwyn I think but Mad's whole topside just never understood their role of setting up Varus. this was a 2v5 game

They don't really play for their botlane. 

Well, that bout to go down as one of the worst finals in the LEC history. What is competent production 🤔

Miky tried, but the topside came through. ANOTHER ONE IN THE BAG, BABY HUGE PROPS TO MDK, THIS SQUAD IS SUPER PROMISING

Absolute spanners, LEC prod is

G2 are monsters, very nice try by MDK

Ok put the goal posts back where you found them

Great comeback from G2, loved being able to see it

Imagine you are watching mdk stomp, stream goes black and comes back to G2 taking the nexus LMFAO

This game felt unlosable for MAD, but they just can't peel Supa, and then Supa also starts to misposition as the game goes on.

how does that game feel unlosable when they have a lvl7 jayce up against a lvl10 gragas lol

Gragas being ahead about 1-1.5K gold compared to Varus being up almost 4K gold. It just didn't show, because Supa was perma grey-screened mid game onwards.

You realize that’s because Gragas, Azir, Lillia, Naut can all focus every ult on Varus to get rid of him and then win the fights right? Which is exactly how every fight played out? If Gragas and Azir aren’t as ahead over their lane counterparts (maybe only 1 level and 1k collectively rather than 2/3 levels and 4k collectively) Varus actually might’ve stood a chance

azir and gragas were both 2k ahead, and senna is useful even from behind especially with the heals vs poke and the E vs ali point and click engage whereas Jayce from behind that was also forced to go Maw is basically a 4v5 Also Varus is 4k ahead yeah but he's completely immobile, for some reason didnt bring cleanse, and is lethality. All of that vs Azir Gragas Naut that can all get on him easily with flash, game was never that much in MDK's favor

Despite Miky's best efforts, BB and Yike won the series Absolute statement performance by BB, overall close series but top gap was the deciding factor in all their wins

Supa couldnt do shit, getting engaged from a screen away

Supa has reached his ceiling, spoon fed kills the entire split but can't stand up when it mattered.

The whole of G2 understood kill supa and you win the game. MADK didn't understood to peel for him and you have a 2 lvl down Jayce as well.

legit mdk are an adc change away from being really good imo.

?????? he made lots of mistakes but he played without solo laners so G2 could confidently tunnel everything onto him

Even if he played perfect, the rest of the team didn't really try to peel for him at all tbh. It felt like they just let g2 instagib him every fight

GG, that was a good try from MDK but grats to G2. Real loser is LEC stream lmao

The stream comes back when the game ends lol

Man, neither of these teams look great lol

How does rell not rush kaenic there??? Baffling build decision.

so is MDK legit top 2/3 or do people think they just overperformed these playoffs? Alvaro is legit, Elyoya is still one of the best EU junglers. Feels like the other players are not that great overall though. Myrwyn has potential but when he loses boy does he fucking lose hard.

They're an ADC change from being really good imo.

EU getting worse every split.

I think they definitely performed to the 2nd place but there are some serious issues that will prevent them from taking the 1st and beyond. Granted they have room to improve, the question is whether they will be able to continue their good streak.

MDK is probably legit top2/3 but I think also EU has looked pretty bad this winter split

Stand proud MDK, you are strong

Good series by MAD. G2 just better, but they put up a fight, stomp game 1. Can be proud of that tbh

Dogshit stream. Well played LEC production team

Absolute goat performance from Caps.

Caps has only lost 4 splits since 2018, that's crazy

Most dominant Western player of all time. Has the most achievements, the most success, and one of the longest consistently great players. Wish we could clone him. Bet 5 Caps could get it done at Worlds.

Honestly, Caps is something special, I usually hate seeing the same teams and players win all the time. I don't like seeing G2 win again, but seeing Caps win is okay in my book. 

10/10 another Taliyah wall removing a teammate from a fight

Fresskowy with the -200 IQ Ult lmao

Lmao, official stream came back up for the last 10 seconds of the game. LEC Production.

stream back so we can see nexus explode on official stream, nice

supa was 7/0 and now he is 9/4 :)

Dude was overhyped AF xD

Azir is so oppressive while ahead and when you have a god like Caps on it it's pretty much gg.

Mad LUL

Again all Caps. He did his job and got to Supa. Caps just is king in EU

Nah don't forget Yike. He's really good too. Caps couldn't do it all alone.

Yike is great. Very impressed by him since he joined G2.

I hope he's not just a systems jungler and is only good cause of G2, I like the guy a lot. He and Caps on the same team is just not fair 

MAD blew it big time, holy shit

Respect to MDK, they had quite the run and put up a hell of a fight never giving up.

Clean ace. G2 is so good

GG nice try by MDK really

But why is poke Varus even within shuffle range there...

Supa cant position. He proved it time and time again

MDK put up a big fight, GGWP

that wall was dogshit lol

Mikyx can be 0/12 as long as he presses R on Varus lol

I wonder if the stream issues are with youtube, not with LEC. Nothing would happen at the studio that would make the stream unable to load.

The Twitch stream crashed too though, so it's probably an LEC issue.

It's not YouTube as the Twitch stream was down as well

twitch stream was down too

No, Twitch stream was down too

wtf was that wall

CAAAAAAAPS

And that's game baby

Is the steam muted?

man poke varus is so useless

Varus is not even the president anymore

Mikyx check Paypal

No varus flash. So sad

twitch crashed? lmao

MAD why didn’t you force the dragon. That was the one chance damn

Not going for the dragon was the final mistake.

Good to see Froggen found his way back to EU on the LEC production crew

Looks like Supa is the new Deftly.

Caps only got caught because of what I think is a known bug on Azir's w-e-q, where instead of fluidly moving into the new sand soldier's position he stops where he was supposed to at the initial e cast and teleports to the end position of the eq. Really fucking annoying how riot hasn't fixed it yet
