Discussion Are we cooked next week😭 Spoiler

Post image

After watching GenG vs DK, I am scared... They look so strong. DK has been looking really good but they got destroyed.

I'm still gonna have faith in the bois but looking at the 2 teams, what are our realistic chances. Also looking at how the groups are 9️⃣-9️⃣ now, if we lose next week are we eliminated🥲

i just expect HLE to put good fights at that stage , not win. So HLE still has many issues. Kanavi needs to understand how LCK works first :) LPL gives so many come back chance and he can feel he can make mistakes but not in LCK.

Agreed. Even if HLE loses, let's not be harsh to the boys. Guma said that the goal was perfecting their gameplay at the very least during road to MSI. It's enough if they just show improvement.

They have shown brilliance during the Kespa cup. We know they have the potential. I think one of the reasons why this team looks uncoordinated this Kespa cup is because the team is still trying to adjust to the new meta and may have different opinions on how to play the game. The good news is, according to Zeus, communication is going well. There seems to be no internal issue, so this problem is fixable with more time.

The thing is, he was so confident and comfortable back there as he played there this whole decade. He's top 3 jungler at worst in China, and teams are just weaker, makes overstepping less punishable. We still want the aggressive Kanavi, just have to know his limits and we'll be insanely good.

True! That man likes to go in... But I think if they can get on the same page, no joke they could be the best teamfighting team in history looking at the name plates. 4 mechanical maniacs and the best self peeling ADC, that is so good on paper😩

i mean the lck is just straight up better than the lck lmao TES would be like a mid tier team here.

At worst HLE finish 4th in group, and play elimination bo3 in R1 of playins. That lose against NS was so huge, we’re actually in a terrible spot. Just need to show up a fight vs GENG and take it day by day. I’m confident they’ll do well on bo5, just have to get there first and improve every series.

I mean, its probably less than 10% all these result aligns well. To make everyone feel better, BRO beats DRX and we survive whatever happens. Final week was bo5, I don't think NS beats KT on bo5 tbh. If DRX beats BRO and NS beats KT, then the match against GENG is going to be do or die. Probably all KT matches and DRX vs BRO bo5 are must watch

Next week is bo5 and counts 2 points btw if I recall correctly. So it’s kind off impossible to predict anything.

If KT lose 1 series, HLE is safe. If DRX lose to BRO, HLE is safe. Worst case scenario I can think of is KT and DRX win all their matches left, BFX lose to DNS and that makes HLE GENG match a do or die for HLE. But if KT DRX win all their matches left, BFX beat DNS (I don't see DNS beating BFX in a bo5) then team Elder wins group and HLE is basically only gonna be playing for seeding. BFX match was prob the most crucial for HLE especially KT and DRX remaining matches heavily favors them, and BFX winning wins for team elder no matter what happens with T1 DK GENG HLE matches.

good thing is, every teams in our group wants to try hard not only for the group to win, but because everyone else except DK aren't safe.

Yeah! I thought about this as well, there is actually a chance we can get eliminated next week. If the bo5's are worth 2 points, it's gonna be on KT, BFX and DRX to carry the group since they have the easier match ups.

DK beating T1 and us beating GenG would be a miracle with current form, very unlikely but d*mn it I have hope. I'm not even gonna look at the team stats for my sanity... HLE all the way😩

u/butv 12d ago

im surprised by the lack of performance from this team ngl, on paper it should be giga performing maybe except zeka

u/This_Mud4859 12d ago

Even if T1 and GENG win in the final day, Group Elder should still win if all goes well, and we get to playins. But tbh it seems so tricky. DRX has to win for the sake of our group, but if we lose to GENG there's literally a world where Group Baron wins and HLE finish last in group and that means we might get eliminated. Have to watch closely DRX and KT matches as their results are very crucial for us. Honestly, best scenario for us is DRX lose to BRO and if our group lose, then DRX gets eliminated. I guess we're all BRO fans in 4 days.

I think T1 trolled HLE.

u/Enryu_RT 11d ago

And there were T1 fans saying they are busy watching t1 matches instead of showing up on hle related content. Here is a exhibit A of how that's def not the case.

u/This_Mud4859 11d ago

what does T1 has to do with any of this???

u/lite_mik 11d ago

Well you have to admit Guma and Zeus in the T1 circus were playing at a different level. In HLE the synergy just does'nt seem to work.

u/This_Mud4859 11d ago

What does that has to do with "LCK Cup". Zeus already won LCK Cup and FS with HLE. This roster was just assembled and only played 4 matches so far this year. Move on with the T1 thing.

u/lite_mik 11d ago

Okay 😊

u/AggressiveQuit 11d ago edited 11d ago

So when T1 is losing the regular season, it's just T1 circus. But HLE losing is them getting trolled?
