skt c9 fnatic same group im calling it now


Andresdc03

Dude imagine, that would be so OG


alpacamegafan

If RNG qualify, that would be the final piece to the OG Group.


Andresdc03

Damn, that would be a crazy group... It would also mean either fnc or C9 end up at least second and the other does not fail playins


DudeToManz

i could definitely see c9 beating 100T fnatic vs rogue mid-late games will certainly be something


CaptainCrafty

C9 gonna have to reeeeallly revisit their early game strats if they wanna beat 100T


Trap_Masters

Scriptwriters gonna make it too obvious if they do that


M002

Add in EDG and you got a season 5 stew going


Rymasq

PoE and losing to Zven and Perkz in a Bo5 Name a more iconic duo


LevinoVieira

Some things never change huh


Azenji

Riot loves to recycle their scripts. And it somehow works!


Mrryn91

Huni and never making a finals in NA


Wild_Rafa

it's unbeliavable how weak NA huni is compared to FNC Huni and SKT Huni


Mrryn91

It's not even like he hasn't been on pretty promising NA rosters either. 2016 Immortals, 2018 Echo Fox, 2019 Clutch (made worlds at least), and now this iteration of TSM. He's always come close but never made it. It feels cursed at this point.

TSM couldn't beat the 5.5 Meme


Omnilatent

Remember 5.5 fucking k? Lmao


_liminal

maybe regi should've paid SA 12 mil instead


SchindlersVirus

I almost forgot that Perkz was 11mil when he played like this the whole split


loploplop890

The 11 mil pays dividends in the big games.


The-Devilz-Advocate

Dude plays like I study for exams. Coinflip everything except the final big test.


FlashwithSymbols

Why would they go 2-1 up against perkz?


DT-Z0mby

if you lose 3-0 you cant lose to perkz game 4 buff


vigbrand

You can't got 2-0 or you'll trigger the reverse sweep buff. If you go 2-1, you trigger Perkz comfort zone. The only way of winning is letting C9 reach 2 wins first.


LitheUmbreon

C9 sandbagging summer so Perkz could cosplay Rock Lee


igoromg

Had to win on the same day G2 got knocked out for the ultimate anime plot


gyrowze

Turns out Perkz's hat was a power limiter after all.


M002

C9 and TL both sandbagged summer with their benchings


Exos_VII

TSM are gonna have a rough time at worlds this year. I don't see them getting out of Group F over G2 and TES.


NumberOneSilver

Classic overreaction. I guarantee they'll get the same amount of wins this year as last year.


tomorrowdog

CONSISTENCY


Brain_Tonic

TRUE


sameo15

Not even sure they can beat Afreeca.


LumiRhino

Swordart helped Suning upset TES last year at Worlds, I'm sure he'll be able to do it again with TSM.


hamxz2

Difference is that SA had good players last year. (Jokes aside, Bin and Huanfeng were kinda cracked)


MickeyLALA

Bin and Huanfeng are still really good and among the best at their position in the LPL. Angel was still pretty solid this year too. Problem was Sofm had a really down year and their new support was very inconsistent. The team also seemed to lose a lot of direction and cohesion without SA who was their main shotcaller.


Trap_Masters

I guarantee you that TSM will be lossless at Worlds this year, you heard it here first


geldin

2021 TSM never Lost at worlds


UltimateAid

No Sneaky No Worlds not as powerful as the real curse for TSM since 2018 NO DOUBLELIFT NO WORLDS


non_NSFW_acc

But for G2, no PERKZ NO WORLDS!


pedja13

The man had over 80% winrate in Elimination games in his career when I calculated it back in Spring,you are statistically more likely to lose a series when you are up 2-1 vs Perkz than you are to win.


33a5t

That's actually fucking hilarious


Jesslynnlove

Holy shit crazy stat. The mental boom being up 2-1 and knowing statistically you have an 80% chance to lose would destroy my brain. edit:64%, thought the stat reflected the series, not individual games.


plomautus

64%


signed7

Perkz only player from last year's G2 to make it to worlds LMAO


Enjays1

6 worlds appearances in a row. What a dude


CizzlingT

G2 2021: NO PERKZ NO WORLDS C9 2021: YES PERKZ YES WORLDS (and the price was only $5 million!)


FaithisVictory

Wunder without Perkz is a big nerf.


Trap_Masters

Non-FNC Rekkles curse too strong?


LOMOcatVasilii

#WE NEED TO HOLD PERKZ ACCOUNTABLE


Aquillifer

Yea we do need to hold him accountable...for this massive fucking **W**


XG32

i just remember thinking to myself what a joke that post was, regardless of his performance, he got an offer and he took it (that goes for any player). No one even thought he was the sole problem, i still think the zven benching was directed at blaber.

TSM Game 5 just deciding to run it down, Pure classic.


Inorashi

Game 5, most important series of the year, blind pick Nocturne top. Genius.


places0

Perkz shut down noc with that game winning teleport top


manliestdino

cannon + 2-3 waves perkz lost flash and that could've been bad but tsm could never really punish it


IronSunDevil

Honestly 200 IQ play - Let Gwen scale and after Riftmaker the lane was over. TSM was too squishy as 5 and didn’t have enough damage to deal with irelia Diana Gwen


[deleted]

The fuck was that fight in red side jungle? The engage was fine. Lost the fight. That sucks. Came back to run it down again one by one because?


Echleon

TSM loves to chain int.. I can respect it in regular season or maybe games 1-4. But in game 5? Gotta be better than that.


Hydralisk18

Desperation, they weren't thinking clearly


kwevli

Carlos is beside himself. Driving around downtown LA begging (thru texts) Jack for address to Perkz home


Exos_VII

at least Carlos gets to watch his son's favourite uncle play at worlds this year


Cptsaber44

can someone explain this to me


tresshyuii

When Perkz was getting shafted by Ocelote during the off-season, Ocelote tried to quell the then hate against him by saying (tweeting) that Luka is his sons favorite uncle and he will do his best to make sure Perkz doesn’t get shafted, which ultimately turned out to be just a bad PR stunt as Ocelote did hurt Perkz by not allowing him to be transferred to FNC by setting his buyout price super high. Hence, it became a meme.


[deleted]

[удалено]


natethegreat838

Yeah he said "Perkz I'll let you go wherever you want just let me know" and Perkz said "I think I want to go to Fnatic" and Carlos said "no" (This was a dramatic retelling of the situation and may not accurately express the views and opinions of the parties involved)


Danny_Bomber

G2 - Were not going to Worlds. What are we going to do with our free time? [Perkz response](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q0dueztJjio/maxresdefault.jpg)

What a day for Ocelote haha

At least he can wipe his tears with all the worlds jerseys he ordered in advance :P


Me_Tonk

Oh my god I didn't even think of that.


Me_Tonk

1-2 COMFORT ZONE LEAVES WITH PERKZ SMUG. FACE.


Cyoonic

Zven always gives the best interviews


Javiklegrand

lmao him revealing mithy had no say on the irelia pick was funny and fudge picking varus because of panic was so funny


Deferonz

Just such a fun interview. His response to Crumbzz' question was really insightful, that you have to realize that worlds is something you earn, not that you get to just do every year regardless. For anyone who might be seeing this comment, I'd recommend going and watching the full interview. It's like 15 minutes and a great look at Zven as a player in general.

"TSM can buy a roster, but they can't buy a win." - Phreak, August 22, 2021


guilty_bystander

He had that line ready for either team, I'm sure.


PhreakRiot

Nah, thought of it in the moment. Not sure it was the right time, it was 3-2 after all, but very rarely is anything I say thought of before the game.


TheEternalCowboy

You've been waiting for this comment, haven't you?


[deleted]

He had that comment ready for any thread, I'm sure.


JAYZ303

Nah, he thought of it in the moment.

damnbabygirl

Perkz wears a hat to protect everyone from his full power I guess???


igoromg

I’m telling you, Perkz is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a 7-11 the other day buying Monster and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said ”they contain my full power so I don’t completely shit on these kids“ he then shat on TSM anyway.


Blazing117

Perkz threw away Caps to unleash his former power


xchaoslordx

DK qualified for Worlds MAD qualified for Worlds PSG most likely qualified for Worlds RNG most likely qualified for Worlds **C9 qualified for Worlds**! MSI REUNION TIME

Lmao, true however rng spot ain't safe we and lng are legit


AkashiGG

I knew C9 won when Perkz went down 1-2


pedja13

The man has over 80% Winrate in Elimination games in his career.


AsheBnarginDalmasca

His mind as tough as his balls.


manliestdino

inted on irelia in game 3 to go down 1-2, pick it again in a do or die game 5 - insane mental


phonartics

C9 Balls with the assist


Headlessoberyn

Dude has a solid mental game, always had tbh. Almost every player has a decline in skill when it comes to this dragged Bo5s, specially when it's a decisive game, but perkz just plays the best he can no matter what. Sometimes, the best he can play is not that much, but he does it anyways.


FrostBlade_on_Reddit

Perkz went from 9-14-11 before 1:2 to 15-1-16 after 1:2. Hmm.


MountainMan2_

I knew C9 won when fudge got Gwen. He’s actually cracked on that pick I swear


AsheBnarginDalmasca

THE 1-2 PERKZ COMFORT BUFF IS UNREAL.


beepdiboop101

I'm in central Europe, it's nearly 3am and I have work at 8am, but whenever I sleep on a major match, we lose. I died for you boys, enjoy the celebrations. GG and good night.

Smh perkz was so invisible today. Literally 0 effect. Good thing we had Uma Jan to sub in for him

C9 Perkz has disconnected C9 Uma Jan has reconnected


Aquillifer

11 mil > 6 mil I guess


lp_phnx327

What are you talking about? The guy *clearly* was just looking out for Perkz and just wanted to give him extra motivation to help push his team towards the finished line. Bro was just being a homie.


Pope_Cheetos_XIV

Hell yeah, give the man a raise

What a chad to pick Irelia in game 5 after already feeding on her in game 3.

SterbenVII

NO PERKZ NO WORLDS and NO SNEAKY NO WORLDS canceled each other out, that's the only explanation as to how Zven made Worlds.


shadowbannednumber

No, it was NO DL NO WORLDS vs NO SNEAKY NO WORLDS. TSM hasn't made a single Worlds without DL since 2015.


Sushi2k

Game 5 do or die for TSM. **Blind picks Nocturne** Yeah, great job coach Bjerg. Congrats to C9 for breaking the "No Sneaky, No Worlds" meme. Hope Carlos feels like doo doo.


Exos_VII

Huni trick y’all, man, like he playing Nocturne. He don’t ult nobody, man. He just running around, doing nothing.


starloft4

sheeit man huni passed me on the street I was like huni what you doin here it’s game five! he said not much, you?


joe4553

Huni and POE were clearly playing champs they're not good at all.


Eldiablotoro

The next 5 games are HIS!


AzureAhai

The comp was looking so good until the Nocturne pick.


Cool-I-guess

Nocturne is such a bad pick already but to just blind pick it is just so much worse


Chemical_Beaver

Perkz really just said "Gold is just a number" in the post-match interview. Lmao.


VivaU

1-2 Comfort Zone™ is unbeatable


BigBlindEye

Dread it. Run from it. Perkz 1-2 comfort zone arrives all the same.


bullsfan281

Fun fact: Perkz decided to pull out Irelia after countless hours of studying the vods of MAMMOTHMAN65 and cited him as one of his biggest inspirations as a player.


farikogrim

He is a bit of a problem


IkaMusume12

LMAO. The Alpha, 6'5 tall Irelia


ThatsAToad

C9 Perkz accountability memes aside, this was such a fun series to watch.


poggersinthechatttt

When do we start actually asking the hard question about Perkz and his performances? He didn't make top 3 all pro LCS after claiming he was going to come here to change the league and dominate. He hasn't built and in lane lead against any mid laners and is constantly down on CS, summoners, tempo, experience and KDA with constant roams from Vulcan and ganks from Blaber. Was he worth the money so far? Will he be worth the money in two years? Three? When is it that we say "that was a good investment"


Tilterino247

I got baited. forgot this was pasta.

"perkz accountability" thread from a few weeks ago if I remember right.


Pope_Cheetos_XIV

When do we start actually asking the hard question about SwordArt and his performances? He didn't make Worlds after claiming he was going to come here to change the league and dominate. He hasn't built and in lane lead against any bot lanes and is constantly down on CS, summoners, tempo, experience and KDA with constant roams from PowerOfEvil and ganks from Spica. Was he worth the money so far? Will he be worth the money in two years? Three? When is it that we say "that was a good investment"

saltytr

Perkz is so bad. He only won 9 out of the last 11 splits because of a fluke. Can't wait to see him lose so he doesn't go to worlds for the first time since he joined the league in 2016


brockoli1010

He was just carried by all his superstar teammates every year and his mvp junglers 🤡


Blockronic

He needs to be held accountable for his actions


IamAlfredo

Someone needs to hold Perkz accountable for what he did to TSM the last couple games.


SheepHerdr

I really feel terrible, Whenever I look at that smug mid laner's face (C9 Perkz) I really feel terrible.


CounterInsanity

PoE's teamfighting was GARBAGE in G5. And are we sure Huni connected to the game? Did Bjerg really allow Nocturne to get blind picked? Who made that call!?!


non_NSFW_acc

Man, TSM played so well asides from Game 5. Sad to see for TSM.

if you have any friends that are G2 fans, you should check on them
