Finals, Lemons, and DIVE AWARDS | The Dive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- Hello and welcome back to another episode of The Dive! This episode started off a little sour as Azael, Kobe, and Meteos each ate lemons (they all technically lost the bet). They discussed the ongoing VCS investigation, recapped the Spring Finals, and celebrated the Dive Awards!
Also, they had new awards to dish out this year, and some they didn’t have winners for - namely the “who was the best commissioner” award…
The Dive will be on break along with the LCS, but there will be some new episodes before MSI - so stay tuned for more!

Most deserving of an award: Dhokla. Playing a series after being in the hospital hooked up to machines earlier that day is heroic shit.
real shit
Legit
Just as Jatt worked hard to force golf into his content, Kobe was adamant in eventually shoehorning his lemon eating into league; and by god did he finally do it.
I appreciate Meteos voting for me
This was one of the funniest parts to me - I agree with the vote!
Also, the award to DL - I was surprised but, again agree!
Real talk, the VCS discussion was pleasantly grounded and honest. It was nice hearing some actual discussion on the matter, and giving some potential explainations for why its happening. I wouldntve expected that fromna riot-sanctioned podcast, so props
Perks of having real pros run the cast. They'll be honest
Check out @lastfreenation
LCS is fixed
KOBE is a fucking freak. Lemon eating ice bath taking, what a beast I love him. BUILT DIFFERENT
Kobe has been a jungler for last ten years I imagine not much can faze that man. He has been through the trials
have u ever been outside?
“Best single content piece” goes to Team Liquid for “Why we didn’t hire Doublelift”. 👏 👏 👏
Watched it yesterday lol its an amazing bit
Thank you honda
Thank you Honda
Thank you Honda
Thank you Honda
"Youre a sick fuck, what the hell" 😂😂😂 Azael popping off
Pro that deserves an award Award: Castle. One of the few bright spots on IMT that actually showed growth, whereas Tactical just kinda did his thing and never truly took that next step.
Tactical and just existing, name a better duo
I knew APA was going to carry the championship the moment he got 5 man dove with no minions around on his Ziggs.
He was living in their heads rent free 🏠🧠⌨️
@@Storm411z Right? He has to start charging them to live there
Betrayal of the split should certainly go to River for that blast cone in the C9 series...
Betrayal of the split is Berserker chasing penta and costing C9 the game 😅
i'm NGL I think that the Umti Jax Pentakill sticks in my head, especially after seeing how much the series meant to him. much love to all of TL
"You're a sick fuck" I've never laughed out loud so hard at the dive
Warheads are goated Kobe don't let their weak bodies shame you!!
I'm actually really surprised that the flyquest news about losing their strategic coach before finals was not mentioned at all. I felt like it was definitely a factor in their games as their drafts were garbage, and they missed a ban, probably lost a lot of prep that was done. Though it doesn't excuse the bad play from the players.
I was today years old when I learned this, but it makes a lot of sense. Not to make excuses or minimize TL’s win at all.
Shrug, don’t hire irl Jaxmains.
I think what he is accused of makes it hard to bring it up and they probably were told not to draw more attention to it.
I've been wondering ever since I learned about this how much that journalist was paid to drop the article about something from years ago right before finals.
@@Obzerver It's not that deep, this was an ongoing investigation for a while.
That Jensen tweet is legendary.
What did he tweet
@@tylerkay825 They showed it. It was a quote tweet of the "Can A Gold Player Survive An LCS Game?" or something and he says "Looks like he couldn't".
As soon as APA's father 👨 Palofox got eliminated, APA got it in the bag.
I think while you're at MSI, having guests on would be fun, especially if those guests are from TL or FLY.
Also, definitely agree with Azael. Licorice for most deserving of an award.
Incoming The Dive hosted by Meteos, with guests Doublelift and Sneaky
I hope they change the podcast name to "The Plug" for that episode 😂
No thx. I’ll take sneaky on there with him
That just sounds like Sneaky's youtube channel :D
The Dive have been so good this year. (it's always been, but there is something special about those episodes).
I'm not explaining, but my award goes to Summit.
It's the meaty toes
One thing I think would be fun next split is setting up a poll a couple of weeks before the end of the split to get some write in awards. Love the show!
Game of the split has to be the last regular season 100t vs C9 match. It was so swingy and fun and a lot of memorable moments like berserker penta and the base race at the end.
Love this podcast - perfect level of fun and analysis for me!
Wouldn’t be a great split without The Dive, everyone involved did such an amazing job! The UA-cam shorts and intros with some of the greatest bits from each episode were awesome, not to mention how great a fit Meteos is to the podcast. Shout out to you guys for putting on such a great product again, and shout out to everyone behind the scenes who made it happen. Can’t wait for the MSI episodes and Summer split!
This year's trash talk and banter were top notch. I'm a FLY fan and I've enjoyed Bwipo's banter, but how can I not love the interviews with TL after the finale? Amazing content. LCS is pumping top content.
So glad to finally get a finals recap episode btw, and also, the chinese meme of ‘X Player’s father’ is fucking hilarious 😆
I think my play of the split was the 100T C9 game where the 100T held the remaining living players of C9 at Dragon, and it was a base race between JoJo and 100T. The awareness to 1, go for the base trade, and 2 deny the backs of C9's players was huge. That game was also my game of the split.
The social awkwardness between them as they eat lemons and do normal shit like open a bottle mid convo lmao, love them tho
Everybody before this split: TL hasn't won a championship without DL
Everybody now: TL hasn't won a championship without Impact 👀
There is ACTUALLY NO WAY that APA didn't get trash talker of the year. It's the biggest snub I've ever witnessed! Even when APA hits Jensen with "Losing finals to APA" as he actually claps him in the grand finals". APA had so many bangers just for one Jensen tweet to steal the well deserved award.
APA's trash talk was way too forced and heavy handed. Also he wasn't really funny with it at all, more like some annoying guy in solo queue spamming
@@DrakertonTheShredmeisterthat shit was hilarious. whole league shit talked him only to get sat down in playoffs while he ran it down in all chat
@@DrakertonTheShredmeisterHe literally was the funniest one, he had real pros chasing him down under tower no minions 1 v 5 how is that not hilarious
@@DrakertonTheShredmeister L take
@midgevong41 idk I just feel like it was never actually clever at all. Like flame if you want but I think someone who puts effort into making it funny / clever deserves to be acknowledged more than someone who just had the highest volume of flame
omg I have loved the dive and the pros thank you so much guys
The bet of the TL was the second year that was talked about I had faith on the second year!!!! Always glad I did
Been watching the dive for a long time and its probably my favorite League content; this has been the best season yet. Azael, Kobe, and Meteos are legends. Loved watching Meteos in the jungle on C9, he's why I jungle, and now seeing him on the dive and killing it there too---love it. Azael and Kobe are awesome together as always. Both of them, (and Captain Flowers), rocked it casting the Finals. Best casters and their synergy is OP. Keep it up guys!
Huhi deservers an award! He's my favorite support, and when he went full tank Naut and got nearly unkillable I was laughing so hard every fight.
Lets go MSI!
Never clicked on a dive podcast this far before
Agreed with Meteos about how trash talk should be funny - even JoJo said in that interview that, “it WOULD be funny if Apa kept me from international competition again” 😂
it is still wild to me that even after winning spring split and earning finals MVP, all the comments about APA are still from the perspective of him being a niche NA midlaner with a narrow champ pool. looking at him from the perspective of "ziggs, tristana, and a-sol all have much stronger off-laning than other midlaners, and allow TL to apply faster and effective pressure to side lanes. this pushing power, paired with the new neutral objective void grubs, which amplify this pressure, gives APA a more dynamic champion pool than other midlaners." APA's ability to play taliyah throughout the entirety of playoffs really dispelled the notion of him being a "ziggs or a-sol one trick" to me, and actually reinforced my opinion that NA midlaners and teams as a whole are inflexible in dealing with the accelerated macro pressure that he can apply. Unfortunately, i don't see eastern teams having issues with dealing with him, as eastern teams seem to have a much more unified direction and are quicker at punishing, then pivoting to maintain momentum. it will be exciting to see how TL does at MSI, i personally like the regional brash flavor that TL demonstrated during spring playoffs and hope they carry that to the international stage.
I watch the LCS so I can enjoy the Dive. Love you guys
Bet Idea: Take a bite of a Pig Blood cube, Wear a "freeHugs" sign at next LCS event, Raw Garlic, become a yummi main for (x) amount of time
Those lemons looked scrumptious
Biggest betrayal has to be the River and Eyla blast cone at baron
I was really surprised no mention ofthe jungle pentakill in the awards.
UMTI.... no need to explain. The general deserves an award
JoJo saying APA's not a Taliyah player than APA smurfing on Taliyah after that has to be considered the best motivational trash talk
Meteos randomly getting interrupted at 15:44 cracked me up and the lemons added to the chaos lmao amazing
Kobe and his pointing finger when he wants to say something kills me. Love when it pops in frame when they are on Azael or Meteos single shots .
Since I'm a C9 fan I've developed a "hate" for APA, but honestly I think that's great. Having a heel in a league can be such a boon for engagement and I'm praying for the day when Jojo can dumpster that fraud. A lot of my best sports memories are random games where we get to screw a rival team or player. Being more serious, kudos to him for sticking through the criticism from worlds. Seems like he kept his head down and grinded, then popped back up to talk shit. I can respect that. Still crossing my fingers for international mids to humble him
The birthday hats were a nice touch
Give Zven an award! More Dive hell yes. Bet idea: sit ups, even people in great shape hate doing sit ups.
TFW The Dive actually had a Lemon Party.
Most impactful person of the playoffs: phreak for allowing the mess up of azir for playoffs
Either cutting to the original recording of , or just briefly mentioning the exact terms of, the lemon bet would have been nice.
I get none of them predicted TL to win (who did tbh?) but I don't get the "you lost first"/"you lost the most" - did they try to predict the entire split and only the person that got the winner right would win?
Summit deserves an award award 😂
For bet ideas: LCS cast day in a bald cap dressed like Azael, or if it’s Azael he wears a wig and dresses like Kobe or Meteos
The Lee Sin kick for "Play of the Split" is just a clip of the wrong kick from that game lol
I would be totally fine with shorter 15 to 30 minute dive episodes during MSI to cover topics like player interviews etc. I think that would be really fun and hopefully be easier to accomplish in the short time. You guys have appreciate the content keep it up.
You guys should get a mobile mic kit like dji and do the podcast in short burst and then cut them together at the end of the week of play.
Cheers, guys.
I unironically like eating lemons lol. Would be the perfect bet for me. If you cut them into circles, you can put a notch in the circle and kinda unwind them to make them easier to eat, since they separate into little easy to eat triangles inside.
i have NEVER thought about the segments of a citrus turning into triangles when you unwind slices like that... you truly are a connoisseur of the craft
@@walkeroneandonly8188thanks lol. lemons are a nice replacement for sour candy enjoyers, and good for you :)
Shopify vs C9 in second round robin was the game of the split IMO. was literally crazy
Meteos has been phenomenal on the dive this season!
Game of the split, for me, was 100T vs TL is playoffs. Forget which game it was, but it was the game that was so incredibly bloody. There really should be an effect on the river when you get to 50 kills in a match.
LemonNation needs an award.
I recommend a dive episode on the plane ride there and back.
I vote Licorice as well!!
Kobe is unhinged this episode LMAO
Award for best guest commentator/caster: Doublelift. He was one of the few ones who actually felt like he wanted to be doing commentary and adding to the broadcast.
Damn I haven't seen Meteos in a minute. Bro when from a single meteor to an asteroid belt.
Bwipo did indeed ult top and then just watch it. Deserving of the Focus Up award!
EXTREMELY important to underline that the 32 players are only under investigation so far. You *really* don't want to ruin a player's future prospects by "simplifying" the truth until it becomes a widespread lie.
Most deserving of an award: Inspired
Castors learned to poke during this, poor Meteos lol.
Gotta be honest, I literally eat salted lemons as a favorite snack.
So began the LemonNation
How is the play of the split not Umti’s PENTAKILL
My award goes to "the lemon" great content
“Pro that deserves an award” award, Pobelter
Meteos is my pro that deserves an award awardee ☄☄☄
Wondering why we aren't talking about the flyquest strategic coach controversy happening 2 days before the finals, and after flyquest looking horrible with their strategies in the match. Might be relevant to them getting smashed by TL in game and in draft.
I guess the subject matter around his removal is probably why. I can also see FlyQuest requesting it not to be mentioned.
Guest caster/analyst award!!! I vote for zven. He killed it. Loved all of his nonsense takes. He always holds people accountable and is very straight to the point.
For the “no candidate for best commissioner part” near the end, them not mentioning Mark, is that kind of shot at Mark? I might be totally oblivious to something and it’s just me.
Divies Award idea: most creative draft
Honorable mention for Glow up: Yeon. Everyone wanted to get rid him. He had carried all split.
Cousins and I used to eat limes with salt or tajin as a snack, this lemon sounds like an easy task
Just have a live episode! Someone can follow y’all around and do a live episode!!!
I love how Kobe always points at Meteos lol
31:00 meteos trying not to laugh here LOL
I've heard of match-fixing being a logistical problem of a different variety. We've had some people be blackmailed into match-fixing, and then being blackmailed into more match-fixing through the previous match-fixing.
It seems a lot to me like the purity of every player will always be questionable. If they're not winning, they need to make money somehow, and that's where these problems come from.
i really have no idea why they didn't ban out apa. he looks great on taliyah ziggs and asol
One could almost call it a lemon party 😂
I watched finals with friends who weren’t super familiar with LCS and after the interviews the said it felt like the villains won
I love meteos on these talk shows, i miss the one he used to host where he had random streamers and other pros a like from different games that was so cool wish it would come back
Personally I think (and hope) that C9 just needs time to gel as a team. All solid players, and the potential for them is huge. Jojo and Blaber in particular mesh really well on paper, just didn't happen for the team this split. I hope they don't do too much this off-season and focus on the potential of the team given time.
most deserving of an award: wild turtle
IDK if this is a new camera setup, but yall are lookin extra handsome and HD.
I actually love eating lemon slices. Am I the weird one?? Lmao 🤣😅
I think Bvoy deserves an award
As a kid I used to eat limes with salt, sugar, and chili powder.
Y’all should add lemon condiments in the future.
Lemons and Meteos in one podcast will be the closest thing we'll get to LemonNation Meteos again lmao
My vote is Yeon, every time he decides to talk its a banger.
Meteos looks sooooo high in the thumbnail lmao
I 100% agreed with Yeon. I haven't been nearly as sold on Inspired as a lot of people have been. I thought Bwipo has been good but my fan vote for top lane went to Impact. And I was very glad to have Impact do a great job of showing how I was right. But I was so glad that TL cooked so hard.
