The “flip” screen is considered the most classic in the history of League of Legends: SKT T1 match

A few hours ago, Gen.G Esports made a spectacular “flip” against DWG KIA in the semi-final match 2. LCK Spring 2022. This can be considered as one of the scenes comeback the most impressive LCK in general and all awards League of Legends around the world at Spring this year. Especially when Gen.G’s opponent is not a strange name, but the defending champion DK – the team rarely gives opponents the opportunity to “turn the bet”.

The impression of the DK – Gen.G match is undisputed. But at the moment, with the Target Bonus function, Riot has also indirectly created conditions for teams to have spectacular comebacks. And if compared to the 5 most rated “flip” screens in the history of League of Legends, perhaps the DK – Gen.G match still has to… learn a lot.

5. IG – KT Rolster (2018 Worlds)

There will be many people who do not think that this is a true “flip” because KT and IG maintained an almost equal position throughout the match. But if we turn back that season to 2018, the money difference of about 3 4k in the late game is quite large, especially when the Fiora in the hand of “Shy ca” is really too strong. Not to mention, IG still has the 2 pillars on the wings and the main house KT is almost “ruined”.

But in the final base race phase, TheShy alone attacked KT’s main house and stopped him was Smeb. In the opposite direction, the 4 members of KT pushed straight into the mid lane and encountered the support of the IG members. However, Deft, Score, Ucal, Smeb and Mata made the most attractive base race in the history of League of Legends. As for the IG players, they can only regret that they missed the victory by a small margin. But anyway, after that, IG still won the overall and finally took the throne in Seoul. At the same time, becoming the first LPL team to win a World Championship, breaking the unique position of Korean League of Legends.

4. GAM – Longzhu (2017 Worlds)

The next comeback, which is considered the best in the history of League of Legends, features a team from VCS – GAM Esports. Only thing is, the VCS team is a “victim” and the team that makes the divine “flip” is a team from Korea – Longzhu Gaming. This is a game that leaves many regrets because if GAM won, it is likely that the situation of Group B that year would have changed completely.

When until the 34th minute of the match, GAM still led LZ by nearly 11k gold as well as the number of big projects and kills, everyone thought of a victory for the representative from VCS. But with incredible bravery, LZ had a really miraculous comeback. They gradually regained their advantages one by one and in the end, when their main house exploded, GAM and VCS fans could only regret for “holding gold and letting it fall”.

3. SSG – SKT T1 (2016 Worlds)

Speaking of Ambition, there are probably a lot of fans Faker in particular and the LoL community in general will remember Faker’s solo kill with Nidalee when facing Ambition’s Kha’Zix. It was also the first kill in Faker’s great career. And Ambition himself is also extremely “proud” to be the “opener” for countless future records of the legendary junior.

But about Ambition personally, unlike Ryu, he had a “revenge” against Faker while he was still playing. Specifically, in the 2016 World Championship final, at that time, the score was 2-0 in favor of SKT T1. But in game 3, Ambition’s Samsung Galaxy had a spectacular comeback despite being led by SKT T1 from the beginning, which started with Ambition’s Elder Dragon robbery. This is also one of the longest games in Worlds history when it lasted for more than 71 minutes. However, SSG then still lost in game 5 and saw SKT T1 become the first team to defend the World Championship.

This “flip” phase of SSG did not stop SKT T1 from taking the throne at Worlds 2016

2. SKT T1 – EDG (2017 Worlds)

At the last Worlds 2021, there was an extremely interesting group stage matchup, T1 – EDward Gaming. And when the time was close to that great war between China and Korea, many people recalled the most divine comeback in the history of League of Legends with SKT T1 as the main character and EDG as the “victim”. This “flip” is also mentioned often in later matches when people see the 10k gold milestone appearing in professional League of Legends matches.

At that time, SKT T1 was almost certain of the loss, until Rakan in the hands of Wolf and Faker’s Orianna made a combo that completely destroyed the EDG members. Rakan’s standard knock-out phase combined with Orianna’s Command: Sound Waves opened the comeback stage of SKT T1 members. And as you can see, once again, the Koreans have made the League of Legends community crazy with their out-of-the-ordinary handling at key moments.

1. CLG – RNG (MSI 2016)

But although the Koreans dominated 4/5 of the most classic comebacks in the history of League of Legends, the most attractive “flip” screen belonged to Counter Logic Gaming – Royal Never Give Up under the MSI 2016 framework. By the time mid-game was over, RNG had established a 17k gold lead. And with a team as seasoned as RNG, no one thought “Royal Legion” would be “overturned”.

But CLG has done the unthinkable. CLG makes good use of RNG’s mistakes in home attacks and teamfights to gradually regain the advantage. Then, after the teamfight that wiped out the opponent in the mid lane, CLG made the most spectacular comeback in history. And to be fair, this “flip” also involved a Korean, the mid laner Huhi with the very strong fighting general Azir.
