Renekton

It's really cool to have that kind of like passion for the game being shared by everyone.

And, you know, we get to see someone like our boy Peter win two best of Renekton's because he said he wanted to play the Croc, even though that deck is terrible.

Yeah, you know, I looked at it.

I'm like, hey, maybe.

And I remember at the very beginning of the game, one of the story points, I was like, oh yeah, and Thanatos on his Gnar.

You know, he hasn't been quite as dominant this split, so gonna have a magnifying glass to see if Thanatos on his like, you know, premier champion, you know, w- 'cause we always talk about his Gnar, Renekton-

Mm-hmm

... and Ambessa, um, you know, s- kind of signature champions, and especially the Gnar.

Guess what happened? He didn't perform.

And then Jiwoo pulls out the vein top and was popping off there on Renekton, bringing out the croc.

Was better there and held his own there with the Gnar into the M-Bessa, learning his lessons from the last matchup.

But this series, again, it felt like D-Plus was the main character and KT was trying.

to teach me about

Urgot and Renekton and all that.

Yeah, he's

helping a lot, actually.

No, it's actually a good question because starting from this position, I do want to match against the Zahen, right? I really want to match him because he has no MR while Galio is stocked up full on MR.

Renekton hard counters Galio, beats the shit out of him, and I beat the shit out of Zahen.

And I'm literally scanning right now and I'm commentating this live for...

I'm not sure if everyone watches it, but I'm literally saying, okay, look at my mouse.

Correct.

So I think I actually misread the fight here.

I think that this fight was winnable with what my Renekton was doing to them.

But because of me playing with the mindset of, hey, I cannot fucking die and cannot risk it, I just decided to just abandon ship, clear wave, and worst-case scenario, Renekton dies.

Like, leave Ornn on the weak side, go win bot, and I'll cook, right?

Probably the classic, I mean, I see this in coaching sessions all the time, the jungler ganks a Renekton, it's Ornn versus Renekton, you get 1v2'd or something like that.

Or they just do nothing and, you know, they're having like a staring contest.

Yep.

Like, Nasus is kind of the same thing.

He hits you with Q, but you see when he kills you and a lot of the damage is ult and the E because they're just percentage max HP magic damage or just a lot of flat magic damage ticking.

Like, the same thing for, like, Renekton, for example.

Like, you build armor versus him and then he...

Like just turn your goddamn chat off.

I literally had, I was reviewing one of the Jungle Academy VODs today and the top lane, the top lane Renekton was like typing an essay about why you're not coming to my lane.

And he was literally replying in chat.

If I go top here, what do you think is going to happen to the dragon? Is what he said.

Right.

You just get really good at dodging spells, hitting spells, managing the wave, taking space, what have you.

It's like, if I'm playing like Renekton Darius, for example, it's like, well, no matter what the fuck I do, that Darius is going to beat me level one.

How do I deal with that? At some point, my wave's going to bounce away from me.

Somewhere like people are sweating buckets.

I heard a story from one of my friends, Peter, Mr. Peter B., who won the best of Renekton.

um he played around where his opponent was like passing out and the judges were not like stopping the player from playing they were instead like holding up their stack decks and having them pick a card and they're like putting their head on the table and like falling like they could not keep like fully engaged uh but i'm sure a lot of people were doing our best to stay hydrated and I would say that the side event stuff was pretty tough as well I was like personally I didn't get into any sides partially my own fault right like I didn't wake up at 2am didn't expect literally everything to sign up to fill up but for anyone at home don't like learn from my mistake if you have got a ticket to an RQ the second that those side events drop buy everything that you want to play because they're not going to be around for long the ticket is I thought at very least the rebound, you'd be able to get in.

You know, you lose on day one, you get into the rebound.
