If there's ONE guy you don't want your series to depend on.... That's Oscarinin xd

Easy to blame Oscar there but its the same thing that happened when Flakked died, GX as a whole took the weirdest position ever.

Really good flank tps by Maynter (and Jun for the setup wards) this series

I thought Navi would struggle without an adc but I forgot that GX doesn't have an adc either

If GP can get IE it's winnable. The rest of GX is fake though they can't really touch Ziggs/Viktor without a good shuffle + Ziggs/Viktor inting.

Man elim time of year is mno fun, can't even root against Navi properly because I just feel bad about what it must feel like to put so much of your effort into the game and for it not to work out smh

OK BRO, FUCK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF THAT BARON

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Sep 11 '26
Parus is so weird if he was just consistent he'd be a monster. He had an insane ult at that reengage drake fight and then he misses the easiest ult on Azir on that dive.

u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run Sep 11 '26
As much as Navi is just KOI jr they probably deserve the Demacia cup spot

These teams desperately need the coach voice option so that they can have any game sense
1
u/Back2Perfection Sep 11 '26
Pretty sure the GX coach would rather get a timeout for the belt.
All they need to do is chill and scale for a win by default.

u/Back2Perfection Sep 11 '26
It is funny af. But why did GX contest this drake so hard? They could‘ve easily given the next 2 drakes and be fine with just scaling.

2
u/Sosijmonster Sep 11 '26
Am I crazy? GX did not need to base there and could have taken the drake? Sure Isma was low, but the GP could have tanked the dmg.
1
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Sep 11 '26
If Isma dies to poke NAVI have a way easier way to confirm drake. Isma was way too low.

Jackie's is griefing man 2 Drakes up into the mid game comp and my azir is shuffling in for what man?

he was inting last game too but poby out-inted him

crazy how this could've been over like a few hours ago had Poby didn't look like an Akali first timer

u/desutruction Sep 11 '26
rhilech just way too good on aatrox and old aatrox pro max

Was he an old Aatrox player? I'm not familiar with his champ pool history.

Feels like Rhilech is focusing too hard on putting a sejuani behind tbh.
She’s still going to be sejuani and do sejuani things even with a deficit in fights…

Navi would have omegagapped this draft ... if they just picked any sort of ADC imo, I am not seeing the vision behind the Ziggs here.

if this was two GENGs playing against each other I take NAVI comp every time. However, it is not. GX scale and win

Ok I am emerald but I don't like Navi draft

u/Back2Perfection Sep 11 '26
I am gold and I‘m fairly certain they will get zerged to death by caitlyn azir.
The only thing I‘m on the fence about is the oscar GP.
Also I don‘t want to see any playmaking azir shenanigans. Just hold that R for peeling and they‘re gucci.

that gp pick is so good, wins against both Jax/Aatrox so the flex doesn't matter

Someone needs to do a data analysis on negative vs positive comments on this sub I swear it’s 99-1 it’s fucking mad

Do you really expect people to post positive comments when teams play as shit as those two teams? There simply isn't anything positive you could say after those games so far,

u/OnlyAnEssenceThief Worst Kai'Sa NA Sep 11 '26
So does this final game boil down to which of the deadweights on each team throw harder? That being ISMA vs Poby?
3
u/cmcdonald22 Sep 11 '26
I'd love to see a run of a team that's just a patchwork of all the ELOHell'd people.
So like Tracyn, Rhilech, Jackies, Jopa.....

u/beautheschmo Sep 11 '26
Analyst desk living in 2019 Gwen is not a 1v9 ultra tank deleter anymore she's a secondary dps it's not that shocking that she can't just mow through a fkn Skarner Alistar especially when she isn't accelerated

Its hindsight now but idk why Gwen/Naafiri didnt just take the base instead of teamfighting dragons. I'm pretty sure no combination of 3 people could have outskirmished them on side lane

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Sep 11 '26
Maynter is playing these fights so weirdly/bad. Drake fight he shouldn't get caught like that, Baron fight he should've chased the rest of GX going towards top, and this fight in river he just eats abilities. Gwen should be stomping them but he's just super impatient.

he got hit by everything tho, 26:57 in game time
got hit by rell's flash ult, annie's flash w then naafiri's ult (obviously) and naafiri's q

u/beautheschmo Sep 11 '26
Yeah 3k gold lead on this comp just wasnt enough, these champs just fall off way too hard and I don't think Gwen is strong enough to salvage it.
Especially since all the gold was on the most useless champ lol

u/x_TDeck_x Play APA you cowards Sep 11 '26
Genuinely amazed that punting a Gwen into your carries worked out

Zdps in teamfights and the character who could provide that, Sivir, has to wait out Gwen's W before contributing. Seems tough

Naafiri will mow down anyone she sees and by the time she gets “outscaled” Gwen will take her place and mow down anyone she sees.

u/Choice-Slight caps/knight Sep 11 '26
the one game this series that isma is actually playing decent and jackies runs it down lol

u/veirceb Sep 11 '26
GX is playing so desperated
1
u/Back2Perfection Sep 11 '26
And they have freaking sivir. Wait until she has 4 items and the game is pretty much won. She has a shitton of peel and navi isn‘t that tanky.
1
u/veirceb Sep 11 '26
I think they are just tilted. Feels like everyone on the team calling for active plays all the time.

u/WhatIsSentience Sep 11 '26
I swear the only jungler pros play that builds ap items is Maokai. Is there a reason for this?

GX put a lot of resources to help mid but the jungle match up went out of control. ISMA was useless this game
1
u/Back2Perfection Sep 11 '26
I really want to know why pros are still picking locke over I don‘t know, fucking zed or something if you really want an assassin.
Jackies had fucking 10 kills and was not threatening at all because all locke can do is walk at your team.

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Sep 11 '26
Parus is legit finding ridiculous ways to die/get chunked this game if he just walks out or flashes early out of kennen ult, Navi just end the game.

u/cmcdonald22 Sep 11 '26
Generational Maynter performance.

u/gandalf45435 Dyrus Microwave Incident Sep 11 '26
The way he zoned Jackies in the fight top lane secured that game for them. Jackies just couldn't even join his team.
3
u/cmcdonald22 Sep 11 '26
Maynter may not make a single play as good as that play for the rest of his career and that would be fair because of just how amazingly well he did.

u/gandalf45435 Dyrus Microwave Incident Sep 11 '26
This game has been really fun to watch. The team fights have felt longer than usual, makes for some good momentum changes.
W LEC quality.

Maynter/Parus played that top fight as poorly as possible. No need for either of them to die but they just overstep and take all their HP.

It’s tough to put in to words just how bad Poby is

Kennen is such a useless champ without Zhonyas and yet 90% of the games it seems to be the item with the lowest priority for the top laner

u/Back2Perfection Sep 11 '26
20 minutes over and locke doesn‘t have a 4k gold lead.
This is a navi win.

I wish SR had Navi's consistency though. Like Poby is still FAR more stable than Zinie.
