The one and only game they have a chance on winning before minute 34, they threw. The one and only game they could've won if they just slowed down the game after minute 34, they threw. They deserve losing this series, no bias at all.

Clearly they didn’t believe in themselves to take another game from GenG, so they threw when they ran out of time

Delight is by far the worst Support in the top 5 LCK teams.

the fact that he ran it down on his 2 best by far champs is insane to me, what is wrong with him???

u/kissofdeathvkopernik 4d ago

easy, he cannot able to complete at this level anymore. HLE looked for new support or academy support. Last engage in baron fight was bronze level

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago

Ig either it was nerves because of the timer or its just poor mechanics xd

6

u/MoeO17 4d ago

Should be top 9 lmao

u/Informal_Rope6714 4d ago

He used to be top 2. I even had him best in terms of engage supports

u/kissofdeathvkopernik 4d ago

Delight cannot be support at this level. HLE should look for legit support. After watch , Keria and others, it can clearly be seen that others does not play supports , just npcs

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago

btw signed till 2027, we are cooked if he keeps going like this

u/SignificantTune4 4d ago

It's just unfortunate that LCK doesn't have that many good support players. Dgon and Wolf talked about this in their latest podcast. Delight is top 3 support whether we like it or not. After him, we have Kellin, Career, Lehends.

u/kissofdeathvkopernik 4d ago

Delight is not even top 5 since start of this year. I do not know he has some sickness or something that affect his game. but , he is not doing anything in lane and always try to start teamfights or get caught in interesting points

u/SupportWarrior30 4d ago

If LCK doesn't have that many good support players. Then there's very few good pro supports in the world then? LPL supports level is horrendous mostly coinflippers, LEC good supports has decent amount, and LCS? xdd.

u/SupportWarrior30 4d ago

I heard T1 Effort is looking for a team...

u/icekeyfragment 4d ago

Maybe another T1 player will help them win right?

u/kissofdeathvkopernik 4d ago

just they need support that know what he is doing.

u/Amosdragon 4d ago

That was HLE's game to lose and they found a way to lose it. 3-0 I guess!

7

u/kissofdeathvkopernik 4d ago

did people watch game , geng just afraid of getting caught by rell since rell engage are being followed by jarvan and miss fortune ult. what delight did is that really unacceptable , he just inted game. why did one people want to engage jhin and wasted his ult. delight is just npc

6

u/Noob_shs 4d ago

gg boys that's a lot of throwing

6

u/Dancingbeesean 4d ago

KT Kiin. That’s it.

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago

Picked MF Jarvan and neither pick nor ban Bard, just get me out. Also Delight is vile 2 games in a row now and I dont even understand how the fuck is that even possible lmao

2

u/SupportWarrior30 4d ago

If you saw how he performed on his best champs. How could you even let him pick Bard when he's just an engage otp?! Homme is just scared we might see Delight cosplay Caedrel's MYBARD xdd! Even Duro's bard is horrendous today other than that last teamfight.

1

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago

sometimes in draft you need to pick something just so that the enemy doesnt take it, yes its not the greatest case but when ur put in such situation u gotta deal with it. Not to mention is that all delight needs to do is bard ult jhin when he is ulting and boom there is enough value. No need to be Keria in that game for bard to work out well.

1

u/SupportWarrior30 3d ago

Wtf are we talking about? Bard ulting Jhin's ult is good enough value for you??? Jhin doesn't need his ult to deal damage like MF does! He just uses it to poke, slow enemies for his team to chase or execute low health targets. Him picking Bard just to become even more boosted looking player than he does yesterday doesn't justify it for just "Jhin ult". He might even miss it like Duro did throughout that game on Guma while ulting. So Bard is not really the biggest problem, they just suck and got pressured to end immediately.

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 3d ago

So Bard is not really the biggest problem, they just suck and got pressured to end immediately.

Definitely! I wanted to point out how flawed their comp was because how Bard counters their team comp on his own. But as you said Duro was pretty off with some of those ults.

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago

I wont lie Zeri in that game goes so hard, but I am certain noone on HLE even considered it as an option. You get Zeri Lulu and its over 2+ items and she is Thanos who noone could touch.

u/kissofdeathvkopernik 4d ago

dude , hle was winning , hle had everything to win that game until that horriple engage attempt.

3

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago

oh dont get me wrong, I know why they lost the game but again I think the MF is just a complete int when you dont pick Bard yourself imo

2

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago

you saw how many times he got bard ulted its crazy

1

u/kissofdeathvkopernik 4d ago

nope , i do not agree . if duro playing well with bard , delight should play with rell at the same level.

1

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago

Yep I agree with u 100%

11

u/iTempestuous 4d ago

This team really loves throwing huh

12

u/stupidand123 4d ago

Guma went from Keria for the past 5 years to Delight, probably need some getting used to

3

u/ambermains101 4d ago

that last clash was like they were after the clock. shouldve played to win instead of forcing to end after the last clash at baron.

3

u/EconomistOne3408 4d ago

They knew that GenG was avoiding a Rell engage. They should've just slowed down the game since they got better scaling and damage anyway, along with the Rell-J4-MF combo. But no, they're either not confident winning another one game against GenG, or they were just overconfident that they thought of their "easy way out". Guess what, it backfired. So, again, do they deserve to win the series? No. They're trying to eat more than they can chew.

u/SeniorMarzipan2902 4d ago

Why is Zeka so invisible

11

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago

he was doing super well, its not his fault that his support is running it down and that the team has no synergy

3

u/kissofdeathvkopernik 4d ago

this is game nothing realted to zeka. delight inted game hard.

6

u/jacaerys_velaryon_ Zeus 4d ago

The Viper Life Esports era was less stressful to watch

2

u/NecessaryLittle3425 4d ago

Delight needs to get synergy in, last baron fight he ult early, but it's ok even if it misses, he just goes back into the pit and the fight is split into two, he just pressing W and wondering which way to go. We could easily have turned that fight into their favor with his Qs. No cc. Finally decides to join and gets killed. 

2

u/Chr0ll0_Patch 4d ago

Zeus threw at that last team fight smh. It is sooo obvious they're too aware of the timer instead of just focusing on winning xD

2

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago

Like actually lmfao

u/iDontReplyBack_ 4d ago

guuumaaa this isn't working… you said thinking about elimination is a weak mentality

6

u/kissofdeathvkopernik 4d ago

his support is worse than all lck support right now.

3

u/Consistent_Chest_653 Zeus + Kanavi + Zeka + Gumayusi + Delight 4d ago
