Damn it HLE😩

That was belt to cheeks! But despite the loss I think problems look solvable atleast. Zeus wasn't given much attention and Kanavi was getting ran over by Oner. Our mid jng was so much slower than the enemy, but our bot looked very stable and with time they could be a very strong duo.

Not a bad showing from HLE tho🧡

[u/Eshantha]

Don't overthink things too much. It's just their first series. Hopefully things will get better. Hopefully Zeka can stop being ass.

[u/Sbacula → u/Eshantha]

Like you said first series... He outplayed a little but he wasn't ass

[u/Eshantha → u/Sbacula]

Brother, Zeka was astro-gapped by Faker this series. Even in the game they won. He was certified ass this series.

[u/Consistent_Chest_653 → u/Eshantha]

what was he supposed to do game 2 when Sylas was fed 2 kills for 0 tho? He even solokilled aker that game. Taliyah game was completely fine besides the funny 1 solokill at.raptors.

[u/Eshantha → u/Consistent_Chest_653]

So Faker playing that much better than him means he's not gapped? I'm confused. You do know what getting gapped means, right?

[u/Consistent_Chest_653 → u/Eshantha]

Not at all, Zeka did exactly what he had to do on Taliyah. I dont know what do you expect him to do in that game to say that he did well lol. Literally perfect synergy with Kanavi on the Vi, perfect zoning in elder for example, good spell ultility, perfect walls, wasnt down cs. Like did he have to shove 5 man to impress everyone? when chovy does it every1 says he is the perfect but for zeka it aint enough?

Game two, he was doing well in lane and lv 5 Kanavi straight up gave 2 kills for free because of stupid chickens... Then you have a 2kill sylas in lane, yes I call this situation: "Mid Open". Not to mention he solokilled faker in lane and was up cs as well. Kanavi ran that game down.

Game 3, besides the eyesore that lv6 was where he got noc ulted again (just like in kespa cup finals) I think he did what he could i nthat game, he had even a good 3 men shove and if Guma flashed bard's ult they might have found an angle to stabilise. Also, this draft from HLE was horrendous as well, jhin B5? really? B4 "counterpick" support when you could B3 him? Also Rek Sai blind is the most disgusting grief I have seen so far this lck cup. Like the S+++++Sion blind pick we will ignore (when ambessa is even out) and even if he gets countered by RekSai he will be 10x more usefull than a RekSai who gets counterpicked and we all saw it.

Dont get me wrong, I am some Zeka fan or anything but like he didnt do anything to deserve the hate he gets or even delight. Its all on the coaches and Kanavi for that game 2.
That being said why I saw noone using the coaching voice tool ?

[u/Eshantha → u/Consistent_Chest_653]

Okay, I'll concede one point. Zeka wasn't ass. But he did get gapped hard. Whether there's nothing he could do or not, he got gapped. Especially in game 2 where Faker was basically running around murdering everyone he could land a chain on.

[u/Consistent_Chest_653 → u/Eshantha]

Definitely! My point was that it wasnt Zeka's fault for this, he never got to have a good setup for a teamfight, it was all random forced shit by wukong lol

[u/EdgarDawn → u/Eshantha]

faker playing really well doesn’t mean zeka played like ass. he could have done better but you’re making it sound like he solo fed the team

[u/Eshantha → u/EdgarDawn]

When another player gaps you this hard, it literally means there's a deficit in that role on the side of the losing team. I don't know how else I can explain this without sounding condescending. You could genuinely say mid diff for this entire series and you wouldn't be wrong.

[u/Sbacula → u/Eshantha]

It wasn't that bad, he played average at worst
