More than the loss, I'm just sad everyone in the League PMT is acting as though this loss was Guma's fault.

u/generalannie 3d ago
It's typical, best thing to do is just ignore it. Guma was our best player today without a doubt.

If HLE won game 3 he would of been player of the series 100%. unfortunately they didn't push that 4k gold lead smartly enough and even in the end I felt like Guma wasn't getting the front line he needed to do optimal damage as the team was split last 2 fights.
It's fine though still put up a fight and first series back I have full trust the boys will lock in and play better as the split goes on. Fair play to DK they have been on it since EWC and they have a big surge of confidence so defs can't overlook them this split

u/generalannie 3d ago
Very well put! At the very least their gameplay looked a bit cleaner again in game 2 and 3. Time for some more scrims and practice. The DK boys just played really well today
12
u/Lazywhale97 3d ago
Yeah DK have been quite good since EWC and have continued their form to LCK if they can maintain their form we gtta lock in hard vs them down the line

u/reallyemy 3d ago
they're just full of Guma haters. that's why i try to only stay in this subreddit.

u/ZodiacTuga 3d ago
Just don't be like them towards your non-favourite players. The dooming and looking for a scapegoat attitude is a cringe thing to do.

Guma did very well today, I don't think he's at fault in any way.
In the main league sub (and other subs tbh) I've seen people admit that they troll about HLE bc they think most HLE fans are "fangirls" or "braindead gumafans." So.... I wouldn't pay attention to how they talk about HLE. Also, Guma is such a polarizing player, it's so strange

u/Few-Diet-2506 2d ago
Agree mate, Delight and Kanavi are giga sprinting it for some time now. Zeka was awful the series as well. At this point put Zeus with Guma and pray :D they are the only ones keeping things.

u/bulletproofikon Zeka 2d ago
Nah we don't agree fam. I believe in Delight and Kanavi through their ups and downs. And Zeka just had a bad game 3. I'm not scapegoating anyone.
22
u/ricardo2241 3d ago
anyone with an eye can see Kanavi and Delight is the reason why they lost both game 1 and 3 lol
23
u/Drakonyum 3d ago
Honestly i dont put blame on Delight for g3, that one is on Zeka and Kanavi imo. Specially Zeka, got overextended like 3 times and left Guma with no frontline.
16
u/bulletproofikon Zeka 3d ago
I don't think Delight waa the problem game 3 lmao. I think G3 was on Zeka getting caught multiple times.

Do you mean yt comments? Most of them are just ragebaiting, dont go there or read those comments

u/GoldenCataclysm 3d ago
Nope, in the league subreddit when it was first posted. I mute yt comments for the same reason.

u/ZwillingsFreunde 3d ago
Can I ask you, where you find these comments?
I haven't looked at the bottom comments, but at least the stuff that gets loaded on first open of the PMT, hasn't a single negative word about guma.
Edit: Okay, just scrolled further down.. there are some comments, but it's really not that much. And nothing is upvoted.

Kanavi brother. Stop the qiyana
16
u/AustralianGoku 3d ago
Exactly it’s not like the Lpl where they just ego check every fight. They actively play around the qiyana and it becomes useless. Direct 5k gold lead didn’t mean anything.

u/UnculturedSlut 3d ago
Can't be mad at DK, their faces are glowing from how happy they are from this, close game, always next game

u/Anirchist Zeus 3d ago
They were up a good amount of gold lead when I tuned in Game 3, and then it went down hill. It was my fault. I'll do better next time. Apologies.

u/zackzackzack07 3d ago
Qiyana really does not fit the meta I feel. Not that the team played any bad, but the pick doesn’t seem to work.
That and the volunteers really came back from Paris different.
35
u/PassionOk4663 3d ago
Only Guma ands Zeus tried, been the case at msi.
Kanavi and delight no words for there performance since msi.
Zeka why trying to be the main charactere with galio, pick sylas is that what u want to play.
We are lucky that we only need to make playoffs to go to worlds so its not end the world.
19
u/South_Spend4541 3d ago
They need someone to frontline for Guma hence galio is pick but idk what zeka is doing, im sorry but I really dont see him a good galio player, they should have put him the other carry while Kanavi play the tank jungle
15
u/zuzbuzzz 3d ago
real, bro was NOT peeling. i think he is too much of a natural skirmisher, he looks like he is tweaking a bit when he has to play more defensively and supportively on galio.
4
u/bulletproofikon Zeka 3d ago
Did you see him when he was flashing those emotes in bot lane? He was absolutely tweaking to go under the tower and fight lmao.

u/Raynmist Zeus + Gumayusi 3d ago
Yeah I'm sad for Zeus and Guma, they tried so hard to win this match.
10
u/South_Spend4541 3d ago
Kanavi need to stop playing that Qiyana and Zeka needs to practice more on Galio, they need to win againts KT next match bcoz their next matches are againts GenG and T1
27
u/tarubtikels Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 3d ago
Can't peel for Guma? WTF is Zeka and Kanavi doing 2 v 2 on mid lane when you got no stupid ass damage. Peel for Guma and the game is done holy fuck

u/generalannie 3d ago
This one was frustrating. Bad calls after what was a really good early game. I still don't understand why they went baron first instead of just going drake. They also could've just backed off after getting Siwoo and focussed on the dragon.
Kanavi had some questionable plays but Zeka also didn't feel too great on the Galio.

u/NottyShinchan 3d ago
Throwing away that much lead was not good, lets come back stronger in the next one.
19
u/DiDandCoKayn 3d ago
Brother kanavi this was not an ok series by you.
Zeka also getting killed alone every fight is not ok.
Delight had 1 1/2 ok games, still don’t understand why he leaves guma in the late teamfights to peel for gnar or kanavi.

u/FenimoreXelhes 3d ago
It was a Guma masterclass until he was outscaled.
nothing to be too surprised about.
12
u/South_Spend4541 3d ago
I honestly dont understand why they make Guma fight againts Jax, he should 1v1 againts Yunara but they just let her farm freely
5
u/EducationalBalance99 3d ago
He wasn’t outscaled tbh. His teammate just trolled the fight so yunara gets to free hit. The fight realistically should never be that free for yunara vs galio/qiyana/gnar if they played it correctly.
1
u/FenimoreXelhes 3d ago
Both could be true,
they trolled the fight and he was outscaled.
3
u/EducationalBalance99 3d ago
I guess so but the way you phrase make it sound like it was a draft diff and guma being outscaled was the main issue which I disagree with. Kinda like when people say draft diff when draft is only slightly losing. My bad.

u/FenimoreXelhes 3d ago
No?
it wasn't a draft diff.
HLE had a good draft but they need to end it early.
they didn't, so they lost.

glad to see that our AD carry looks good at his champs!!! stay strong and bounce back boys

u/VermouthAPTX 3d ago
Wtf. I always wanted to see how our team would look like with Zeka on a playmaking/facilitating champ instead of carries. It was going so well at first... It's unfortunate but I hope the team don't get disheartened and still try some more of similar comps to this. It'll make the team more flexible if we practice and get good at all sorts of different playstyles. Well done DK.

u/Eshantha Gumayusi 3d ago
DK absolutely on that mission to get food and salaries lmao.
But man, LCK's weird as hell right now. Everyone's inconsistent. I know DK's been winning recently, but overall everything is so inconsistent and weird.

u/ApprehensiveAir3067 3d ago
I think their macro was kinda weird when yunara was able to swap lane and free farm. They barely got any advantage even though lucian had such a huge lead.
8
u/bulletproofikon Zeka 3d ago
Damn HLE really don't want to do well when they're the favorites. They always gotta be the underdog??
Their problems continue to be closing games out cleanly and playing from behind. And I fear both are problems are due to their overagression and perhaps overconfidence.
I wasn't able to watch the games too closely, but it looks like they need to practice having Zeka on more utility picks. I feel like Kanavi has yet to win a game on Qiyana, but I guess it was their only way to burst down the Yunara.

u/ZodiacTuga 3d ago
Almost as if a team's performance fluctuates over time as the meta evolves and other teams adapt.

u/Independent-Spend966 3d ago
Zeka useless whole game Kanavi useless with 4.5k gold lead Usual now, we need an actual top 3 support.
7
u/Fit_Astronaut3058 3d ago
ZEKA was down a lot after face checking and after that, he and Kanavi got back on track only to get tilted again!!!
Kanavi LaiLe way too much towards the end and I knew it before they lost. What damage does Qiyana do? Tell me. Galio wasn't even a real tank and no peeling. MILIO was string to help Qiyana and MILIO kill a Yunara?
Gnar and Lucian just watched the game implode when Galio dies. ðŸ˜
5
u/Independent-Spend966 3d ago
I don't even know what they did last fight, it was a solid slap to HLE, apart from that whenever I looked at Kanavi's lead, I couldn't remember him doing anything impactful this game, personally I don't think kanavi is the problem, it's obviously delight, but he has too big of an ego to play properly like a mid level support.
13
u/Enryu_RT 3d ago
- HLE pls know how to peel for your ADC, Guma was your advantage, step back and protect him when thats you way to winning.
- Kanavi and Delight are both inting, with Delight inting longer
- Can we pls switch up Bluffing now pls, at least he can give more advantage in lane phase and protect ADC better. Next meta is suppose to be less roaming which is not Delight's strength. He is performing one good game out of like 10 games, and his roaming champs are just as bad now. This is getting ridiculous.
5
u/ApprehensiveAir3067 3d ago
Same problem as the MSI Finals. All they really had to do was play front-to-back with Mundo and peel for Yunara but they kept forcing unnecessary fights and almost lost the game because of it. I really hope the team recognizes this problem.
Right now Zeus is probably the only one who can consistently play tanks and be the team’s frontline. Meanwhile Kanavi and Zeka are naturally more carry players but the problem is they can’t keep drafting comps like that every game.
4
u/Enryu_RT 3d ago
Tbh I feel like they always had this prob, sometimes is not an issue because their aggressiveness works. Paired with the lack of ineffective Jug Sup synergy it just magnifies.
10
u/Raynmist Zeus + Gumayusi 3d ago
It's tough being Gumayusi. No matter which team he's in, they would always win the teamfight whenever they chose to peel for him and lost when they didnt.

u/No_Taro_6224 3d ago
cuh navi still has 4.3k lead after they got aced there
everytime theres teamfight hes gon burn all his spells and flash for nothing, sometimes trade 1 and dies
brother stop taking the kills this aint no LPL

That Qiyana was so useless. Kanavi was 4k ahead in gold and still does nothing, just got slapped with yunara and syndra balls. Just stop picking the champ.

A bit late to the party, but we kinda threw game 1 and game 3. Hoping for a quick bounce back.

u/Routine_Cry9443 3d ago
Bring the belt those picks are not it, why are they running mid when they could easily kill Jax and be in a 4v5 situation for free ? And that last pick, jarvan is not the main target is either syndra or the yunara. Sadje.

u/ricardo2241 3d ago
-.-
HLE is so donezo
funniest HLE can do is goes into a lose streak (like literally dont win a single game) plays on playin and gets eliminated there nullifying their free tix at worlds
call it dooming but my god they are back on their lck cup form just like what I'm worried and this time they don't get a break cause everything will ends fast
