The clowniest, dumbest League of Legends series ever played wasn’t a random solo queue game. It was in the LPL, played by iG and LGD, two of the best teams in the region.
With playoffs on the horizon, and the invincible EDG awaiting the victor, both teams wanted nothing more than to lose.
The problem is that Riot doesn’t exactly love it when teams sandbag, and is always ready to hand out penalties. So the teams had to get creative.

seems like a normal NA lcs game to me
Throwing for placements or money, should be actually be a Def loss for those teams, even when the team makes it… There are 3. Pslce teams trying there hardest, showing the world community that u as a team be in charge of when and whom u want to play… Def lose
Booth teams should have gotten a DC in my opinion.. Same happen last world's when a China team that was fully under tendence sponsoring did the same
Vaevitci games in russia are also pretty "entertaing"
I wanted to watch this video then I remembered the the score posted that white power nonsense.
What a click bait title. This was one of the most beautiful things I have seen in e-sports.
Peenalized
I love how to hear those refrees telling them to stop fuking around
?
Anyone notice the Eve build?
gg get gud
Best* league series
Next time they should just settle this in a nemesis draft game :p
?????
1:01 THAT SIGN XDDDDDD
….. faker cried when he lost no cool man
so maybe next time explain they were trying to to win for a playoff spot to not play certain team 🙂
I still have nightmares of staying up all night just watching the 3 games series SKT vs JAG. Nothing can compare to that disaster.
Me and the other 9 players in my ranked solo queue game : went oscar night
Riot : Wait, that's illegal
idk about you but the legend tells that there was a team known as Mineski that played in worlds and didnt win a single game from anyone. This series isnt as bad as the folk tale.
God V or gold V
So basically lgd and ig tried to lose because they dont want to face edg in the play off? Do they use single elimination bracket? Because in double elimination/winner-loser bracket, yoi can get another chance at the play off on the play off. So it's not necessary to dodge edg
can't really call it a chinese superpower when they getting carried by koreans…
This was probably the last time Imp ever even tried to win…
didn’t EDG come into worlds as 2nd seed? They were in the same bracket as SKT and they were LCK’s first seed
The worst format ever in LoL ? wth
Rookie brought down to bench after "playing too good" in game 1 and replaced by Save (who mains top), but IG didn't know Save was an even worse actor than Rookie.
GodV (After not dying to Karthus ult and started baming the table): WHY THE FK DID I BUILD HEXDRINKER!
Worst part is that Renegades vs Dignitas in the NALCS came close to this. At least here the rift didn't get 4 executes on pro players.
