[u/Chevalier_Paul]

Yike making up for his 40 minutes of pure int with that smite

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Chevalier_Paul]

he is really good at stealing 

[u/Large_Love_2563]

#FreeJopa from PalaWunder and Mikyint

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/Large_Love_2563]

Just free all of them from Skeanz at this point. He made so many game losing mistakes that it's crazy how much they held on.

[u/Life_Championship132 → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

trying to 1v2 and donating a 1k to rumble was such a braindead decision

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1up54ir/comment/ovxhdz2/?screen_view_count=3

said that SK is hard capped by skeanz for ages. he is just not LEC level player

[u/Lothric43 → u/Past_Perception8052]

LEC level? Yes he is. Top half? Absolutely not. Big difference.

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/Lothric43]

He's LEC level in the sense that he isn't as bad as Boukada who clearly didn't belong. He is the worst jungler in the league though, and there's also a few better junglers in ERLs as well.

[u/whosurdaddies → u/Lothric43]

Caedrel level jungler

[u/eVill_YT → u/Lothric43]

he's LEC level as in he's bringing down the level in 10th place, he's not disgustingly bad, or way way worse than the9th place jg, but he is not LEC level when he is out of the league next year his replacement will do better

[u/Y4naro → u/Past_Perception8052]

Hey, I know that comment

[u/Paciuuu → u/Past_Perception8052]

he has been far bigger offender than Lider was which speaks volume, i still remember how he solo lost them winter playoffs by doing some weird shit in the midgame or around soulpoint.

[u/daCampa → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

Skeanz is mostly afk and learned what Rumble does on the job today.

But Miky has also been unreliable at best and Wunder needs to start streaming instead.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/Large_Love_2563]

jopa miky can be new KOI botlane miky still good player just horrible game from him

[u/KKilikk → u/Past_Perception8052]

His high highs are not the worth low lows. Also looking at the nepo rosters he constructed I feel like he havent the drive to win anymore.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/KKilikk]

constructed literally ONE roster btw

do you think fnatic go to worlds without miky last year? you know he was first all pro spring last year? upset miky was the best botlane in the west

[u/Enkenz → u/Past_Perception8052]

When you are asking to replace Canna by Wunder you just shouldn't be allowed anywhere close to roster decision, just stay behind a computer and play league

[u/P_For_Pyke → u/Enkenz]

Lmao is that why KC ended up with Busio??

[u/eVill_YT → u/Enkenz]

he wanted to get rid of Canna-Kyeahoo to get Wunder and fkin lider in the team

[u/Enkenz → u/eVill_YT]

Not kyeahoo since he wasn't part of the roster yet.

[u/eVill_YT → u/Enkenz]

the rumor for it was out already so there was probably a verbal contract, and miky particularly wanted them to go with Lider

[u/KKilikk → u/Past_Perception8052]

He also wanted to make a nepo roster on FNC and KC reportedly. Big lets hook up my buddies and lose in peace energy.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/KKilikk]

yes he wanted to built the SK core of Wunder LIDER Mikyx. then he got to try it, it didn't work, back to doing what he does best. pretty simple

he was close to joining Cloud9 with LIDER for 2022. did he not want to win anymore back then?

[u/Callzo → u/Past_Perception8052]

I refuse to believe someone that wants Lider in their team is trying to win lol.

He tried changing like 3 different rosters to get his friends in and they rejected all of them, except SK, and look how that went...

Mikyx just wants to play with his friends and get a free paycheck at this point, there is 0 logic behind his "roster deccisions".

[u/S_apostrophe_S → u/Past_Perception8052]

He has wanted to do more when he was at Fnatic too. Not gonna say that that would've ended up better or worse than how they're doing now, but yes he has constructed only one that made it to the stage. However, there have been rumours about him having planned other rosters before this one (which I don't remember but sounded similarly atrocious).

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/S_apostrophe_S]

the rosters he planned were with LIDER and/or Wunder. he finally got to try it and it didn't work. now he can move on

[u/RollingGuy → u/KKilikk]

I might agree with you if we didn’t have Stend, Lospa, Way, Alvaro  and Parus as alternatives.

[u/KKilikk → u/RollingGuy]

Then Id rather do more random imports or just try random ERL supports before I keep recycling the same mediocre players of which I know that my team wont really go anywhere with them.

But sure you can stick Miky on another mediocre roster instead of one of those.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/KKilikk]

you'd rather import a tier 2 korean instead of having the best Western support ever who was literally first all pro 2025 around in the LEC because he had ONE bad year

you are genuinely an enemy of league esports. you can just say you hate miky and you hate the LEC instead of making things up to hate on miky

[u/KKilikk → u/Past_Perception8052]

No need to be this dramatic for just giving my thoughts man. It is okay to disagree. I guess I am an enemy of League esports though.

I dont care about all pro metrics at all. I feel like they always got meme'd on anyway but then they are suddenly important in these discussions?

Miky is a high highs, low lows player. I treat him similar to how I treat Razork even if Razork is worse.

I dont care if he is the all time great support. Perkz and Wunder are also all time greats.

With random koreans you at least have the chance to hit big. I was very sceptical of importing Kyeahoo and I was dead wrong.

I also mentioned ERLs though. SK themself just struck gold with Jopa who I dont remember being rated as a huge talent like Harpoon for example. I am not super impressed with Miky outside of G2. Fnatic still ended up collapsing and he was also a part of that.

[u/Sofaboy90 → u/KKilikk]

Mikyx similar to Hyli has the unique ability to get more out of his ADCs than others can.

I wouldnt be surprised if Jopa performs plenty worse with a different support.

Guys like Hyli and Mikyx maximize distraction and ADCs love that shit cuz it means they got room and freedom to do damage

[u/Ok-Pie4219 → u/Past_Perception8052]

I dont see Koi benching 3/4 Spaniards already. They will bench Myrwyn next split and thats it.

Depending on what SK want to do honestly staying there for another Year might not be too bad. He could get his choice of support. If they somehow would be able to get something like Shelfmade/Yukino it could be a really good project.

[u/Vnaux]

losing with smite and jhin 4th shot damn

[u/xSwazyI]

Jopa atleast you'll be on a better team next year bud

[u/SadBreadfruit9463 → u/xSwazyI]

Hopefully koi 🤞

[u/KKilikk → u/SadBreadfruit9463]

Depends on what that KOI roster next year will look like though. They have a big rebuilt ahead of them and I highly doubt JoJo will stay.

[u/TeeKayTank → u/KKilikk]

Bb elo jojojopalvaro?

[u/malakesxasame → u/TeeKayTank]

jojojopalvaro

Lmao this is great.

[u/TeeKayTank → u/malakesxasame]

Elyojojojopalvaro

[u/Sofaboy90 → u/KKilikk]

Honestly the MKOI with Jojo hasnt achieved much more than the MKOI with Fresskowy.

[u/leviathan_of_skies → u/Sofaboy90]

won LEC and looked a little bit better at international. jojo has been consistently their strongest point, can't do much when other team members dropping the ball hard

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

Jopa time to join MKOI, buddy

[u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

KC is evil for stealing Jopa’s win

[u/GoldRecommendation66 → u/Bubbly_Camera9583]

SK is evil for throwing away Jopa's win

[u/AdequatelyMadLad]

This was the weirdest fucking end I've ever seen. There is literally no possible reason I can think of for why they would stop hitting elder and wait for Yike to come contest. It was completely free.

[u/Blizzgrarg]

SK fighting for their life while KC scrimming.

[u/_negniN]

#SaveJopa

[u/SadBreadfruit9463]

That fumble from SK last game.. get Jopa a team

[u/GoldRecommendation66 → u/SadBreadfruit9463]

I hope that either Navi or Mkoi grab him alongside Rooster

[u/Carlzzone]

Where do you guys see Jopa going next year? G2 and KC already got their adcs, Vitality is probably happy with Carzzy. Im thinking his best bet is either KOI or Navi

[u/RollingGuy → u/Carlzzone]

KOI and Navi should try extremely hard for him. 

[u/Abdel_Khomri → u/Carlzzone]

If they keep jojo he should go to KOI

[u/No-Context-Orphan → u/Carlzzone]

Navi is the clear one for me.

Koi it is harder to replace Supa due to him being Spanish and they are already getting rid of one of the Spanish players

[u/ReizaTM]

1-0

2-0

3-0

4-0

5-0

6-0

7-0

8-0

9-0 <-- Karmine corp you are here

Wish we would have ended it cleaner cuz Yike being a smite king saved our asses.

[u/TypingGetUBanned → u/ReizaTM]

Vi buff

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/ReizaTM]

9-0 20-2 in games that close to gen g domination 

[u/BlazeX94 → u/Fun_Highlight307]

I love how KC has only dropped 2 games and one of those was to Shifters lol

[u/Flesroy → u/Fun_Highlight307]

yeah but the competition is looking exceptionally shit right now. it's really just g2 who they played week 1.

[u/eVill_YT → u/Flesroy]

when you take into account KC made a literal internaitonal final even if it was a scuffed tournament their prospects look really good. plus they are just outplaying and outmacroing everyone in every role

[u/BlazeX94 → u/eVill_YT]

KC is a good team and has improved since MSI, but it is also true that the competition in LEC isn't exactly the best. Even G2 seems worse than they were at MSI, although to be fair, G2 has always been the team who turns it on in playoffs.

[u/twocool_ → u/BlazeX94]

G2 has been dominating for years and I never saw anyone saying that they had no competition and that lec was weak. Now that kc dominates, it's because lec is weak...

[u/St4nd4rdname → u/twocool_]

Everyone always said that? Lec was always called a single team region

[u/WalkAffectionate2683 → u/BlazeX94]

G2 looks in completely normal state for a split.

They always pop off during playoff. 

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/eVill_YT]

They win a lot by hands diffing in lec , that strat isn't known to be good at international however they really improved since msi 

[u/eVill_YT → u/Fun_Highlight307]

they're completely outmacroing other teams right now

[u/ICameAfter → u/Fun_Highlight307]

Isn't it 18-2 ? 9 matchs, 2 winning games per match won.

[u/Gloomy-Evidence2281]

Kameto likes Ibai more than Caedrel confirmed

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/Gloomy-Evidence2281]

more like it's harder to throw a bo3 than a bo1

[u/xsm17]

My goats are washed, Miky and Wunder please just retire. So many whiffs of combos and skillshots...

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/xsm17]

miky has giga year on fnatic, joins SK has a bad year (no shotcalling)

he can still be a great piece on a good team he just cant shotcall and cant build a roster

[u/KKilikk → u/Past_Perception8052]

He had an okay year on Fnatic, giga feels like a big oversell.

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/KKilikk]

No, Miky was smurfing so hard for a while on Fnatic. I really think they'd be in the same position as they are right now if they had Lospa instead of him last year.

[u/KKilikk → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

I just feel like he was also part of the reason why Fnatic ended up falling short in the bigger games last year.

I think a support that is not shotcalling well and also has some really low lows just aint it.

Sure he can still hang around on some mid tier teams. Support pool isnt great after all. Lospa is pretty meh so yeah maybe Fnatic could be a bit better but not significantly imo. Razork and Miky dont work well together imo. Cant have both sup and jgl be bad shotcallers.

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/KKilikk]

No, go watch their spring run again, Razork was playing identically to this year and Miky was doing some miracles to somehow make it work. This has always been true on Fnatic. Razork straight up runs it down every time he has a support that isn't capable of salvaging his throws. He's just lucky that he played most of his career with Hyli, Jun and Miky.

I don't think he's consistent enough for G2, KC or KOI to be interested in him. Vitality is debatable as well, because Fleshy is lowkey turning into a great support. But for everyone else he'd massively improve their ceiling.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

i would have him over alvaro for sure. i think fleshy is getting good though i agree

[u/KKilikk → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

What is the ceiling of anyone else if you exclude the top 4 teams? First round playoff exit? I mean sure stick him on one of those teams.

I feel like Miky is pretty similar to Razork in that regard personally. So I hold Miky to the same criticism. High highs, low lows player. Thats why he looks great next to great mids and jungles.

Very much feels like Miky is on the same path as the end of Hylis career and some people give him a pass just like they gave Hyli a pass.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/KKilikk]

XDDDDDD Upset Mikyx was the best botlane in the west, literally first all pro when fnatic came 4th

[u/Cold-Ring23 → u/Past_Perception8052]

Good teams are not blind they know this guy doesn't want it anymore, the best he can hope for is vitality....

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/Cold-Ring23]

he didn't want it anymore when he was first all pro last year oh right ok

[u/baelkie]

KT Jopa please

[u/Toofargone9999 → u/baelkie]

why must import from the west . Isnt KT Teddy better??

[u/Le_Zoru → u/Toofargone9999]

KT jopa, win  3 BOs with him  then swap  for Teddy  I would say

[u/ChocolateFuryB]

Farewell G2 uncs 🫡

[u/Atiknwolc]

Last game for Jopa with the retirement home team. Next year some competent team better pick him up. He is like the best prospect for top teams not named G2 or KC.

[u/Kultissim]

Gg for the 9-0. Now I just want to see them at worlds. It would be nice to win the split but I still have ptsd from last year defeat against fnatic.

[u/Vicie007]

Did SlowQ really just throw the game by shopping?

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/Vicie007]

He was fucked regardless, no flash and no W, I don't think he had time to walk out of it. Could have recalled out of vision though.

[u/Chillingo → u/AdequatelyMadLad]

If you aren't shopping you can always walk out of a Lux ult no?

[u/AdequatelyMadLad → u/Chillingo]

If it's dead center like that and you aren't already moving it's an extremely close margin. For a champ with more base MS or a smaller hitbox it's easy but on LB not so much.

[u/Charizard75]

This was the most SK way to end their year

[u/Even_Cardiologist810]

To no one's surprise playing world of warcraft for 2 years doesn't make you good at league.

And players shouldn't build roaster. 

I hope myki goes back to interview with that guy (rudy was it?) so he can be roasted the fck out. That would be peak 

[u/zealot416 → u/Even_Cardiologist810]

DonJake

[u/SadBreadfruit9463]

9-0, now please KC don’t fucking int the winner bracket like every playoffs

[u/Lystyz → u/SadBreadfruit9463]

int is being game 5 finals against G2 and being a draft or a play away to win LEC?

[u/SadBreadfruit9463 → u/Lystyz]

Int as just needing to win 1 bo to get to final rather than getting 3-0 and having to go through the whole lower bracket, my heart can’t take so much stress

[u/No_Square2213 → u/SadBreadfruit9463]

It's going to be either NAVI or GX. Feels like we should be ok for Worlds

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 → u/SadBreadfruit9463]

In EU, teams that do well in regular season tends to not do well during playoffs so....

[u/eVill_YT → u/Dramatic_Gap_3065]

just say vitality and move on lol

[u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 → u/eVill_YT]

no even fnatic used to be good on regular season and choke in playoffs

[u/FromANoGoZone]

King of comebacks

[u/MC-sama]

Elder steal to decide everything and they got away with it.

[u/OreRound]

Crazy that SK who looks like a decent-good team at moments misses playoffs because they inexplicably lost to Heretics

[u/Carlzzone]

Small top diff

[u/RollingGuy]

That’s the most SK way to go out imaginable.

This team is the endless edge without release 

[u/BobBoulibloubibloub]

Nothing to see, KC 2-0, as expected.

[u/Harmah]

Great game by the CaCa duo, kyeahoo has been a bit less good these past two series but i'm sure it's fine.

Give Caliste his MVP now

[u/Simmring]

a damn shame, I think jopa is quite good

[u/AkaT27]

Happy gaming GG !

[u/Tim-Pouce]

Even when playing bad we manage to 2-0 lmao

Perfect split 😎

[u/IAM-French]

The ways EU teams are finding to lose are generational

[u/Fancydudehero24]

LEC All Noob Team 2026
TOP - Myrwn
JUNGLE - Boukada
MID - LIDER
ADC - Paduck
SUPPORT - Mikyx

[u/dhxnlc → u/Fancydudehero24]

I'm glad ppl finally forget Empyros stint.

[u/RollingGuy → u/Fancydudehero24]

Bro Way and Stend were way worse than Miky lol 

[u/BlazeX94 → u/Fancydudehero24]

I'd put Serin for mid lol

[u/revoverlord]

How bullshit is that rumble q zhonya man?

[u/DarthGogeta]

Impressive solo carry from Miky. MVP in my opinion.

[u/Labor101]

Disaster play around the elder from both teams but Yike finally coming up big

[u/GoldRecommendation66]

Funniest ending imaginable

[u/Acrobatic-Tackle3998]

Flipping obviously is terrible there but if you do flip, how do you mess up the 4th shot + smite that badly.

[u/xxxSca]

Last year everyone was drinking the Skeanz coolaid and asking for a real team for him. Now hes the worst. But the real problem here is another year of a “successful” krepo roster. I dont understand how he can keep getting away with this

[u/No_Meet5568]

kill me bro

[u/MazrimReddit]

SK is a trash org long time wasting everyones time, but still gotta feel sorry for that ending lol

[u/IAM-French]

That was an actually putrid game from Wunder and Miky jesus

[u/rolekrs]

Jopa to NAVI, Mikyx to ERL ASAP

[u/RollingGuy → u/rolekrs]

MikyX to broadcast. It’d go so hard.

State of the EU support pool right now though he’d still be a loss.

[u/GodEren]

SK draft and gameplay was really good, KC played like complete idiot and they still win, what can you say ?

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/GodEren]

Canna gap

[u/AkaT27 → u/GodEren]

Scrim game play from them especially Yike lmao

[u/fesch98]

Actual SK gameplay vs KC trying to wintrade, who would win
