Overseas fans are buzzing about NIP knocking out FPX: leave is too strong! jiejie is quite mediocre; he shouldn’t have joined FPX.

NIP defeated FPX 3-2 on the Knights' route to move forward to the playoffs. This match soon stirred extensive debate among international fans. Let’s see what they had to say!

- FPX was ahead with a 10-1 kill lead and a dragon at 8 minutes, but by 22 minutes they fell behind by 6000 gold, and the match concluded at 27 minutes—an astonishing outcome.

- This might be the most disgusting way to throw a game I’ve ever seen. It felt like watching a solo queue player versus a pro team.

- NIP’s lineup didn’t seem promising either; if they fell behind early, they really had no chance. I mean, mid and top were Sylas and Udyr. FPX threw the game wildly.

- I thought I was watching FNC versus G2.

- naiyou definitely carried NIP in the fifth game.

- Naiyou’s Nidalee made jiejie’s Poppy look helpless.

- Killing Jiejie solo right at the start—that’s a move aki could never pull off.

- doinb is on his way to the 2025 World Championship!

- IG and NIP, ROOKIE and DOINB, LPL’s mid lane saviors are back on stage.

- leave is truly a massive threat.

- I really want to enjoy Tarik’s amazing gameplay here. Jwei also has nothing more to prove; he played excellently.

- I hope to see Jwei join a top-tier team.

- What a comedy storyline!

- leave nailed the final coffin nail for jiejie.

- leave has always been spot on.

- For jiejie, this was a mediocre BO3; his teammates lacked synergy with him, the top laner seemed to have voice chat off completely, the mid laner’s hands suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, and compared to wei, jiejie’s performance on IG looks poor.

- jiejie’s Poppy and Skarner were really awful.

- naiyou and leave were absolutely insane.

- The solo kills were also impressive.

- I’m speechless. How did NIP manage to recover from such a terrible early game?

- FPX threw the game outrageously.

- The throws were disgusting.

- Every year I remind everyone not to miss any LPL playoffs.

- The fifth match was way more exciting than the 2022 World Championship final.

- So jiejie joined FPX just to play three games, lose all of them, and then end his season. I think his best move is to avoid FPX and focus on finding a new team for next year.

- Honestly, if NIP didn’t have Sylas, Tarik would have been a good choice.

- FPX’s decision-making is seriously flawed, causing them to collapse easily. You might think bringing in a veteran like jiejie at the last minute would help, but honestly, I can’t imagine he had enough time to gel with the team. After the season, they switched junglers three times (iyy, Milkyway, then iyy again, followed by jiejie), and you could feel the lack of coordination leading to their poor form in this event.

- Leave’s skill is so strong that even if his teammates keep feeding one after another, he still won’t lose.

- The jungler gap is huge.

- When your mid lane looks that bad and your top lane seems to have given up, the jungler can’t do anything.
