            While we're having heart attack at home watching, the comms shows Zeus casually laughing and said "This is fun!"

            These kids are psychopath lmao

            [–]Ok-Wait-811 245 points246 points  (4 children)

            Its actually fun. Think back to our soloqueue games esp with friends. The close games, the back and forths. Discussing the game afterwards. That was peak league of legends back when I was so active. For someone like zeus whos a prodigy I doubt he has many games like these. They dont really have close games and korean soloqueue doesnt really have these insane comebacks.

            [–]silentBookWorm 95 points96 points  (0 children)

            ooh, now that you mention it, yea, being a player in this back and forth is actually really fun. I experience those games where my friends and I are looking for setups and pick and then the enemy them do the same thing. I miss those times. It's likes what league is what intended for and not just boring snowball win or insta lose because of draft or gold difference.

                Fuck they lost. NO WAIT.

                That audience member reaction cam during g5 when Faker picked Aiming but then T1 got wiped 3v3 at elder needs to be made into a reaction gif.

                  Keria snapped and landed a couple good flanks, then T1 out team fought, then Lehends snapped and landed a couple good hooks and KT out team fought, then Gumayusi snapped and landed a couple of good Xayah pulls and T1 out team fought, then Kiin snapped and KT out team fought, then T1 snapped and won.

                  Faker also got a lot of great gragas casks that won them the teamfight.

                  [–]hungrypucarip old flairs 20 points21 points  (0 children)

                  Honestly, I think only faker could have played and carried that last game. No other mid in the world could of played it like he did. Maybe other mids could of done things differently in lane or in early teamfights but fakers baits and casts were chefs kiss

                          What the hell was that roller coaster of a game 5, so many times where I thought it was over only for it to live for another fight.

                          The Telecom Wars keeps on giving.

                          [–]moonmeh 946 points947 points  (34 children)

                          I first thought it was over for KT. Then T1. Then KT. Then T1. Then KT. Then T1 and then it kept on happening in a matter of seconds in a teamfight

                          FUCKING HELL

                          [–]Undersword 116 points117 points  (2 children)

                          Even at the end I literally thought T1 would somehow manage to not end the game.

                          I thought kiin would win it for KT when he TP to T1 base.

                          My heart can't take it 💀

                          [–]silentBookWorm 106 points107 points  (5 children)

                          Yea like oh they caught oner, this is over, on not anymore, they also caught cuzz and then the cycle continue. Multiple times I accepted the faith that they gonna lose lol

                          [–]moonmeh 79 points80 points  (4 children)

                          The series of events of that first elder fight where eventually KT gets it, gets two inhibs, then T1 gets Baron because KT has two people use tp at bot and Cuzz uses flash to try to steal the Baron instead of blastcone.

                          Then T1 pushed, get mid inhib then leads to the whole dance around 2nd elder and then Faker dies, then Cuzz. Then another dance around elder until Faker comes back T1 wins a massive teamfight but Kiin tps top in an attempt to finish in a base race.

                          What a fucking ride.

                            One of the best rollercoasters for sure.

                            T1 fans at least woke up from the grave

                            KT fans are gonna be dead until the next series lol

                                    I thought for sure the pick onto Faker at the last elder was gonna be it, even Zeus going into GA but then it just keeps going man. Great series, one of the best game 5s in a long time.

                                    Game five at the end was basically KT repeatedly finding great picks before an objective, then Cuzz deciding to return a kill

                                    [–]NeitherAlexNorAlice 385 points386 points  (28 children)

                                    T1 forcing a baron while down 6k in gold and then winning the team fight was absolutely insane.

                                    [–]moonmeh 168 points169 points  (17 children)

                                    Yeah that was the turning point. Zero chance T1 had but they pulled off that miraculous teamfight

                                    [–]tawapes4 253 points254 points  (15 children)

                                    I usually hate when people hype Faker just for "being Faker" but holy fuck his engages during that play and throughout the entire game were phenomenal.

                                    [–]Hazzsin 249 points250 points  (5 children)

                                    Faker was 100% showing his goat mentality on display.

                                    His engages were game saving and game winning.

                                    Also, top and bot got behind early but Faker held on and even had full build first in the game.

                                    [–]TheAbyssalSymphony 142 points143 points  (0 children)

                                    Faker is a rock, I don't care how far behind T1 is in a game, as long as Faker lives, I hold hope for a miracle.

                                    [–]expert_on_the_matter 20 points21 points  (0 children)

                                    Crazy how Faker was already the undisputed GOAT in 2016 and is still proving himself over and over again in 2023.

                                        Although it does happen, it happens less often and I feel like most of the time ppl downplay fakers impact and "intangibles" that ppl can't see unless they truly understand the game.

                                        faker made so many fucking incredible plays. one at baron and the one in blue jungle where he acted as bait

                                        equalized the game for T1 when it was at an unwinnable difference.

                                        Man everyone stepped the fuck up that last game. People will criticize players getting picked, but the engages on both sides were amazing. Both teams played really well and it was one of those long games that wasnt a fiesta and actually teams finding great picks and great team fights. Honestly such a fucking banger.

                                        So glad Faker has backup the last couple of years. He is a much better player when he trusts his teammates.

                                        ​

                                        The couple years/seasons where he wouldn't leave mid to not lose CS were hard. He wasn't washed, but he certainly wasn't playing for the team.

                                            Faker whiffing body slam into the middle of their whole team just to hit the godliest cask and stopwatch was one of the best bait plays I’ve ever seen. If that was on purpose it’s legit the best gragas plays of all time.

                                                People will talk about his engages which were great but the difference maker was him actually playing for himself and taking gold instead of giving it up for oner/guma which got him fed enough to carry the midgame fights. I wish he continues playing this style

                                                Yeah seeing him actually play super hard for sidelanes and take all the resources he can so he can actually carry shows how integral he really is to T1. His flexibility is still unmatched truly the GOAT.

                                                Well he was on gragas. With galio you cant really do that, even with gold you dont really scale.

                                                Nah he wasn't doing it even with stronger carries like azir LeBlanc in regular season. This game he was actively trading gold so that he gets ahead despite his team falling further behind in the early game

                                                That game 1 against hle in the second round when he was on azir and he was like 2 items behind at the end because he gave up resources. I was so mad. Like they would have won that game had he been fed.

                                                            i really hope the team keeps the mental up and gives us some more great series

                                                            and hell, im even glad for T1 that they had to show their ability to play from behind and it won't be a situation where they just walk through playoffs uncontested and then MSI is where they have to l earn to deal with adversity.

                                                            but most of all im so fuckin' glad we've got double elim i cant wait for MORE PLAYOFF GAMES HELL YEAH

                                                            also fuck the T1 haters lol, I hate that even when KT is doing good, the threads are full of all these people who come out of the woodwork to be like "actually T1 is terrible and I knew it all along." fuck you, no, sure they're not playing 100% but also KT stepped the fuck up.

KT is famous for cosplaying a rollercoaster and sending their fans to the emergency room department for heart palpitations and cardiac arrest. KT has a few signature moves well loved by LCK fans, namely the patented "Kiin go kill", "Clean 2-0, nothing to see here", "Lehends die at level 3" and "BDD Azir TF”. They also regularly participate in a circus act called the "Telecom Wars" where a variety of circus tricks are performed in front of a large korean audience.

                                                                                in all seriousness though for Guma, game 5 showed why he's an insanely good ADC for his team. a lot of people ragged on him in last year's MSI (justly so) and a little bit this regular season because he had little presence (how can you when his team snowballs the game 20mins to end), but his ability to play under pressure and act as a wincon for his team in case the game hits late is amazing. the only underperforming player here was Zeus in game 5 imo but that was mostly because of the forced E level 1 which fucked the lane hard. Gnar was also a terrible pick into the long-ranged comp + Taliyah that KT had.

                                                                                Keria also showing why he's an incredible menace on engage supports. even his failed engage at the baron pit where he got Varus ulted had a 2-man CC chain on KT's two carries was very insane but unluckily got hit by a stray Varus ult.

                                                                                incredible showing as well from KT, too. the telecom war never disappoints

Longest game this season, 60 kills, non stop heart attacks for 55 mins, constant inting and, stupidly god mode engages by Keria and Faker, BDD clutch ultra instinct mode, agent cuzz activated, Faker GOATED as always. Banger match that gave people excitement, disappointment, heart attacks and more. Fucking Hell of a game and I'm here for more. #telecomwars

                                                                                    At the end of the day a bo5 is a game of endurance and seeing how tired I'm feeling after just watching the games, I can't even begin to imagine how tired the players are.

                                                                                    I guess the only thing we can say for sure is that the T1 players deserved the win for being able to maintain their focus until the end.

                                                                                    GG T1. GG KT. Hope to see you both again in the Grand Finals.

                                                                                                    KT massively leveled up from the LSB series which made a clear banger series.

                                                                                                    Kiin played so well this series until he ran it down in back to back fights which let T1 get back into the game otherwise KT would have ended at like 30 minutes.

                                                                                                    Keria whilst unwell had some great Rakan engages but was poor given his standards, Faker had great ults and props to T1 for not mental booming after the early game.

                                                                                                    I'm sorry for the KT fans who got excited after the early game lead because they threw the whole series.
