The world teaser's out.
OCE is absolutely cooked.
1 a.m.
P1faker, worlds no matter when or where, is our home ground.
Damn.
They want that luck skin.
They want that luck skin.
Chat, by the way, quick thing.
quick thing quick thing quick thing before we get into it. Two quick things we'll get the two quick
things done. Hold on. Two quick things then we're done. We get big pace. Let's go ahead and pin this
one thing real quick. Just so you know, displays are metallic posters so you can stick on your wall
they're super easy to set up and you don't need any tools or anything. There's over 200
officially licensed brands and millions of arts you can choose from. I got two right behind me
you can use code Cajal on the discount or go to display.com slash Cajal,
or you can do exclamation mark, display it in the chat right now, do it right now and say deal.
And yeah, you can copy stuff, some awesome displays, loads of things from League of Legends,
other than playing some games, anime, more and stuff like that. So check that out.
Deal? Deal. All right. All right. And final thing, final thing also,
This is not really an ad, but actually, I need to ask this for the world's giveaway hold on.
By the way, small feature is not an ad, it's actually really cool what they've done.
They've added a new feature on our DPML website, it's called head to head.
Here you've got esports, head to head.
You can now see the head to head between every player in the world, I think,
or most of the major region players right now, we're going to implement it for everyone.
So you can see all the times they play against each other,
what champs they play against each other, what their score is,
average like you know stuff is and you can see the games they played so if I
want to check like umayushi versus pays at the head for example well I can see
the win rates and stuff like that so we're adding in one more features this
another one we're adding really epic idea from the person behind it Juliano so
yeah if you ever want to see I think we're like building it up so if I want
to see like elk versus pays stats BLG Gen G that's the that's their
stats against each other. Okay, alright. Apparently there's a really good teaser
out chat. Do Cajal vs. Caps? I'm not on the list because I'm not an LEC player.
Okay, let's see the teaser chat. Let's see it. Apparently this teaser is
absolute cinema. Ooh, seven minutes long! Oh my god, I feel spoiled! I don't want to watch it
yet, chat, because not everyone's here. There's still two hours till Worlds.
We'll watch it in 30 minutes. Deal? 30 minutes, we'll watch it. Because
Otherwise people are gonna come in in 30 minutes and be like have you seen the teaser of the world's thing?
Have you seen the world's teaser? Have you seen the world's teaser? That's what they're gonna say
T10 said he'd be open to go to NA or EU if he was given a good opportunity
Faker caps first date. We saw that we saw that young as well as players who saw it. What is this?

I'm just gonna chat.
Chat?
I told you.
Chat, I trolled, I trolled, I trolled, I trolled.
We're gonna have to re-watch this.
I trolled big time.
Because I can see the ads are about to start.
We're gonna have to re-watch this.
I have to pause it.
I can see it.
I just went to the ads page to delay them and as I went there it said add in progress 255
which means they ran 5 seconds as I got there.
I knew it.
I knew that would happen.
I went there just to check and the second I saw it, it said ads.
We're gonna re-do!
Re-do!
Re-do!
Hey, it's a bit scuffed!
It's a bit scuffed!
We re-do!
We redo, but imagine getting ads in 2024 though, plus H.

Oh yeah, I should add a displayed in the tanks.
Your right chat.
Chat called that.
Wait, chat, you smurfed that.
Let me edit the giveaway.
Thank you LeBron, Jane.
Okay, the giveaway command is up, I think.
It should be working.
But don't spam it, though.
But don't spam it.
How many prizes are there, chat?
I think there is...
In total, there is...
Actually, I don't know how many prizes there are.
How many prizes are there? Hold on, let me count it.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 30 prizes.
Okay, done.
How will you all be able to announce the winners?
And so the way it works, we've done these giveaways like many times over the last few internationals.
This is actually the third.
International we've done a giveaway for
Basically, I can contact through um, I can contact through I get I get around the emails or I get your usernames
It depends on what you use if you use Twitter for example the way the back end of the giveaway works
It says MSI 2024. What do you mean? It says any MSI? What is MSI at the bottom? Oh
Shit, fuck. It's because we're using the same site for this alternating between the giveaways every year
It's because we did one we did one for MSI. That's why wait this chat is actually completely smurfing
Okay, I think I have everything I'm just get I panic sometimes with this shit because I feel like I'm missing
Yeah, the way it works is like so for example if you follow with twitch it gets your twitch username if you follow with Twitter
It gets your Twitter username
green tick
If you follow with wait, I should do the Twitter thing hold up. I hate being I'm not trying to stall
Just better for people to see
Don't fucking say...
Don't fucking say...
It's worldwide by the way.
Um...
Bro, I can't remember what I did, bro. What did I do?
Pajals, MSI, giveaway, 24. What did I tweet?
I forgot. I don't know how I fucking structured this shit.
Oh my god, that looks so much cleaner.
Why didn't I just fucking do that then?
Uh...
I hate doing this on stream. Normally I'll do this off stream, so don't cringe.
Okay, I got it.
Oh my god.
Okay, there we go. That's much cleaner.
Done!
Done!
Done!
Now all I have to do is add one more entry where you have to re-tweet this and then it's
done.
And then they can watch the teaser.
The mail you say when you enter, it says MSI, really?
Wait, why does it say MSI?
Wait, someone says, eh?
Mail you get when you enter also says MSI.
Why?
Oh, yeah, it does.
Why does it say MSI?
Why does it say MSI?
I can see it here.
It says...
It's not a scam.
It should still work.
why it says MSI. Hold on, how do I fix this? Oh my god. Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up.
Wrong URL. What do you mean wrong URL? Where? Where is the wrong URL? It also says notify
me of other Kajals MSI giveaway comments. Why does it say that? It's fixed now. I'm
not stalling, shut up! I don't want people to enter and it says, I'm going to put
on a signup so you're all yapping. Because I need to fix this real quick. I don't
where the settings are it's all correct it all works perfectly I think it's just
then for some reason it says NSI when you enter all the mom said I wish I could
do I'm actually fucking here my name is in a lot
messing the camera out is if we're not getting fucking ghosted beyond
belief oh we're not getting ghosted
I'm sure there'd be a very mean word in all that's crazy oh I found it
Lux bro, you almost died.
I fixed it, I fixed it, I fixed it, I fixed it, I fixed it.
You really just got out.
It should be fixed now.
It should be fixed now, chat. Thanks fuck for that.
Sorry for stalling like that, I completely shat myself.
I'm gonna settle, check it's all good, and then we're super locked in.
Okay, done!
Thank god! Alright, it's time for the teaser, chat. It's time for the teaser.
Sorry for being a yapper and sorry for jumping around everywhere.
It's done, we fixed it, I fixed it, I fixed it.
I for some reason tied it to the MSI giveaway.
So basically it's the worlds giveaway,
you got KJW.com.
Now at the bottom it says worlds giveaway.
It's all tied to the worlds giveaway.
Everything's worlds giveaway.
The branding was all fucked.
I also added the last one,
which is where you have to retweet the tweet.
And then if you wanna join with an extra entry,
you can quit the update.
All right, let's get to the teaser.
Ready?
Everyone shut up.
I wanna fucking watch this game.
We love the violin, violins, and pianos.
I have incredible passion for games.
Multiplied everything on the line.
It's a bit loud here, I like it.
And if I had like a dark bar, I think I'd be fine.
I don't squire, I don't squire.
I didn't see you through.
I don't know.
I don't know what to do.
If I see you on the other side, I don't have anything to do.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
I think I've definitely lost hope.
We are here to change that.
Remember me as a big hero.
There's a woman in the mirror.
Oh my god.
In 2019, I was a rookie.
It was my first World Cup.
I'm sure I can do something when I'm back in Berlin again.
I won the World Championship in Europe last time.
I will do my best this time.
You should never underestimate us.
You should do more than us.
Every player needs to learn a lot.
That's why I'm able to play now.
I've been through a lot this year.
What I want to do now is to get the best result.
I'm in the state of the world.
If you don't want to fight, you have to fight.
If you don't want to fight, you have to fight.
It's good, good.
Do you have the World Zincs?
When I'm on the show,
there are Zincs that the LCK
won.
Then, you won all of them
thanks to you.
That's right.
This section, that's 2019.
2019, 2019.
I've been taking the championship here for five days.
What's the point of coming here again?
To be honest, it's nothing.
Because time has passed so quickly.
If we can finish this goal here this year,
we should feel more injured.
I think the best part for me was seeing how happy my family was.
Especially because it took a lot of convincing
for me to help her because we're like a traditional air family so it was really nice.
What about you?
I am open.
I felt like the first time in a long time I could be myself.
I was just trying to win, but I was able to achieve my goal.
I'm the winner of the game, and I've done everything except laughing.
If I just do that, I can achieve my goal.
I like the peanut's taste.
I like the peanut's taste.
I like the peanut's taste.
I was just trying to win last year, but I couldn't do it.
I was just trying to win last year, but I couldn't do it.
It was hard to win, but I think it was a good thing to win.
I made it, man.
I can't believe I'm reacting to the call of the Brazilians.
It's a unique feeling.
We've been through a lot this year, and I think we can do it this year.
I think we can do it.
Because we've been winning a lot.
Yeah, I'm a fan of this team.
I'm sure we can.
I'm sure we can.
I felt like a shame to lose in the final.
For me, 2019,
the final just represents hope.
The notions of going on stage.
My dad, my mom, my siblings, all of them supporting me, like all of your was behind us.
It shows me that we can do it once again.
We are so fucking back.
Holy smokes, we're back.
I feel like those kind of teasers, the teaser for the first day of SWIS is always the hardest teaser, because you've got so many teams and stories, so getting that all into 5-7 minutes of content is so hard.
But I liked it, I liked it a lot, I liked it a lot. I liked the ending, obviously, where all the LPL says they want revenge, and you want there.
But I think the main stories for me this world is like, Peanuts, is he gonna choke again?
He has Zaka and Viper on a choke, but is he going to flop again?
Peanut, I love the peanut story.
Like when the peanut story was there, I loved the peanut story.
And like Zaka's by his side, the peanut story is great.
I also love the Chovy Night story.
That story is fucking insane.
The T1 story of like, are they going to do it again?
It's also sick.
And the LPL story against T1 is also crazy.
There's mega stories.
I think EUN&A are like, 2019, bitch!
And then we just fucking lose.
So we need to have more of that.
This 2019, listen guys, we've been sold this 2019 story for five years.
Every year it's fucked.
Every year it's fucked up.
We don't get the pace.
We need one year where we get the pace, and then the fans will say,
OK, fine, you can say 2019 again.
But if we keep losing, we can't keep saying 2019.
Guys, we've got to win now.
Otherwise it's cooked.
That was a good teaser.
I liked it.
Yeah, I really liked the Yamato teaser.
But I was, you didn't see it because I was streaming last night.
This teaser, I thought, was great.
Back to back to back to back

Alright chat.
Big shout out to Yamato Canon by the way. Check out his YouTube, check out his stuff, check out his stuff.
He's got really good stuff. Yamato does really good stuff.
A big shout out to Yamato.
Chat.
We have eight games out of us. Eight games.
Eight fatty games inbound.
We're going, we're going, we're going and going and going and going and going and going and going.
Let's talk matchups! Let's talk matchups! Where's my pen? Let's talk matchups! So
this is the switch stage by the way, this is switch stage. Winners quick thing
in the format okay quick thing it's quite easy the way it works is winners
play winners loses play losers okay so this might look complicated but it's
not it's actually not complicated at all. Whoever wins goes through to the
next round and they get drawn against each other whoever wins that gets
drawn against each other whoever wins that goes through it's best to
3 on 2-0 or 0-2. It's always best of 3s, no matter what. World starts in hour and 20.
Alright, BLG, MAD. This matchup, everyone's in a favorite BLG. Okay, it's quite an obvious clear
favorite. BLG are favorites in the tournament. It should be pretty easy game for BLG, right?
They're against Europe's third seed. The thing with MAD though is you never really know what
to expect from a team like MAD. Where's the... When MAD was in play-ins, they played
insanely well. Man has really good macro. Who was it they played against first chat? Who was they
played against? There's no stats for minivans. Play against that. Yeah they played against, uh,
they came in as VK. They might, like, if they, oh my god, I don't want to watch my highlight. I
don't want to watch my highlight. And why is it only highlights? Where's the game at? Where's
the full game at? Here it is. Now what you might expect from man is their degeneracy.
Like their drafting is weird. They might first pick middle, they might flex it. They might
play fucking random shit. The weird thing is against vk they play the same comp twice. I have
one concern for mad though and it's frescoey. I think in play ins everyone was pretty impressive
apart from i mean their jungle bots were really impressive like elioya their map movements their
macro was great they were they were on objectives early they were setting up well they were
just playing through their lanes really well in terms of micromanaging everyone around
sides the only like person who was like lustre i think in my eyes was was
Mirwin ran it down a bit, he got caught on sides.
Mirwin getting caught on sides and Fresca always lane phase.
And if you have those weaknesses against Bin and Knight,
I don't think it matters how well you're drawing on bot lane.
So I think Matt need to be mega creative, really, really creative.
What have they been up to? Have they been playing anything crazy?
Elioia has been spamming Nidalee, Skarner, he has a bit of Rengar.
Mirren's been practicing really hard on Aurora, which doesn't surprise me. Has he played anything crazy? He's been playing Nidalee top a bit.
I don't really think there's much you can do to cheese BLG, you know?
What could they do? What's the craziest things they've done? I mean, it is just the Nidalee top shit, but I think Bin will be fine against it.
I would say if Knight wins this, I would say it's one of the biggest upsets of worlds.
like a European third seed beating the LPL first seed is crazy this reminds me of
Vitality versus when Vitality beat Samsung Galaxy or was it Gen.G sorry
were they called Gen.G back then I remember what were they called chat yeah
they were called Gen.G like Vitality came in as the third seed I think for Europe
and they were against reigning Royal Champs Gen.G and they won that game and
like everyone lost their minds but it's happened before you know it's
happened before where like there's been a big upset. So I'd say mega favorite for BLG.
ASUK beats EDG in 2016 as well. Yeah, the third seed and fourth seed of Europe
randomly do these upsets. The thing is with the bracket and the way the
bracket works is if mad words beat BLG and go up, BLG goes to the 0-1
bracket, it's absolute degeneracy from the Netherlands. It is complete Armageddon
Because the way Swiss stage works is the feedback loop from losses and wins and upsets really takes its toll later
Like if BLG lose
They play against zero one teams and if they win they play against one one teams
And then that put basically puts a world's favorite in the middle of the pack, which is complete annihilation
I would say BLG heavy favorites top eSports t1
The big question is what is t1s form?
What if T1's form? The good news for T1 is Faker doesn't have to play AD carry
mint anymore. That's the good news. He can play Syndra Orianna. The meta for
mid right now is Syndra, Ori, Akali, Yone, Aurora, Leblanc.
This is kind of what the meta looks like for mid right now.
What is Faker when playing in his solo queue accounts? Has he been playing much solo queue?
He hasn't played any solo queue. He's played 10 normal games and that's it.
So T1 is... I don't want to say that. It's weird. I don't know how to describe it.
I feel like T1, are they hiding something? It's my question. Mainly because
Zeyus is running around playing DeGeneric champs, Karma top, Galio top in the
fairy jungle. He hasn't been in champs queue. Bong Bong Yu is owner. He has
zero ranked games as well. Taco Genius is Guma. He's been playing as AD carries.
I don't think that's too much of a surprise, but out of all the world's teams T1 is definitely the team that's just not playing solo queue
Like if I filter it by games played
You have showmaker. I think he was playing a bit though. Yeah, he did play a couple of solo games
And bin is also been playing a bit of solo queue as well. It's just not a plated
But it's all T1 here, right? All of T1 is here not playing solo queue
What's what's the top eastwards when up to top eastwards been playing a bit of solo queue?
so either
they're playing on secret accounts or they're doing a lot of internal practice
I will say and it's not a leak Faker was in a custom lobby the other day two days
ago he was in his own custom lobby on TR won't be wanting someone I don't know
who it was I think it was quad he was doing one-by-ones against quad so I
think some of the T1 players are just doing 2v2's and 1v1 practice against the
worlds players it's the right game stream live it is alive perfect let me get
that countdown up wait it's just this there's no countdown okay I'll keep it
open for the changes into the countdown because I'm sure they'll put a countdown
right sure they'll put a countdown right and top eSports the the actual
worry I have for top eSports kind of is 369 maybe I wonder how 369 is gonna do
in this top meta against Zeus I feel like Zeus is really favorite in lane phase
I think T1 should prioritize Zeus in drafting in 369 a hundred percent
um
And I do think that Renekton might be a big pick
as much I
um
As much I trust
369 on Renekton Kazanthi
Rumbles nerfed cannons nerfed these are champs that are kind of like not disappearing, but they're weaker
Whereas Zeus is just I mean he'll play anything. He'll play fucking Camille. He'll play Jace. He'll play yoni top. He'll play jacks like
Don't look at the win rates too much, because T1 had a bit of a rough year, but I think
topside I would favor Zeus.
Jungle, owners, playoffs were kind of mid, but the meta is also a bit better for owner
I would say.
I feel like owner is a good AD jungle player, Lee Sin, Viego, Vi, Xin Zhao, Poppy, Wukong,
these are all meta.
Maokai is gone, which was one of his crutch points, which is big for T1.
like Maokai has been a big pick for teams like BLG and his Maokai was always kind of shitty.
He didn't prioritize it as much, even though the champ was pretty strong and as though he
played champs like Sejuani, I think it's actually a favor for him that I think the best way
to describe it is right now the way jungle meta works and mid meta works is you need
AD jungle and AP mid or you need AP jungle and AD mid. These are two iterations right.
of summer we saw this one we saw Zyra we saw Lilia we saw Sejuani we saw Tristana
Corky, Xerri, Lucian, Draven, Yone whereas now the meta swapped around to AD and
AP so now it's mage mid and AD jungle and I think T1 is so much better on that
patch whereas cream for example is a player from top esports who kind of
fine-tuned the AD mid meta perfectly because cream's a player who was the
Akali Sylas guy and he was never really like a big mage person like he
wasn't like the Orianna or the Syndra guy. He was AD meta, kind of like, or
playmaker is a better way, right? Niko, Ari, Yone, Silas, Akali. So I think that
transitioning to mages, two mid laners struggled on this worlds, were
transitioning to mages. It's Cream and Zeca, who are the two psychopathic Akali
players. So I think that we'll see a lot of mealy
mids from from cream perhaps champs like Akali and Yone and Zeka also will be
playing champs like Akali and Yone as well I imagine which is amazing just you
know if you think of Syndra Orianna Zeka it's not really his wheelhouse you can
see he has like a 40% on Orianna all-time and Syndra is he even got
any Syndra games in his career yeah he has three so I would say mid jungle
meta like I'm gonna talk about form a little bit mid jungle meta is T1
favorites top meta I think Zeus wins there if they prioritize mid draft they
give him resources and they do invest in champs like Cassante then so I think top
side for T1 should be favorite in that matchup bot side I think is top e-sports
favorite mainly because Mako is just insane on engage supports but again a
A carry as a player where if you give carry a resource in draft he will punish you.
Like if you give carry a good Renata angle, he will annihilate you.
If you give him a good Renata angle, if you give him a good Bard angle, any kind of these...
If you give him even a good Rakan angle he will punish you really hard.
He can Poppy Flex.
It's just the things like Ash support, Lulu, Seraphine, Niko, Soraka, Karma, these range
supports he's good at are a little bit harder to pull out.
on the Milisport meta, I do favor Mako a bit.
But it's just a case of where does T1 prioritize their draft?
Do they prioritize their draft in bot lane
or do they prioritize their draft in top lane?
Okay, the time is up, hold up.
Let me add the scene real quick.
Add, wait, oops, add window capture.
We'll have that there.
So yeah, I would actually favor top T1 in this matchup.
GenG vs Webo. I'm convinced GenG is the team that is gonna 3-0 Swiss even though they lost the finals.
I think GenG when it comes to best of 1s and best of 3s, I would trust them the most when it comes to preparation.
I think Zhao who's had a pretty mid split so I think Choby's gonna face him.
I think jungle matchups pretty close, maybe closer than people would expect.
Oh shit, 0-7 sponsors.
I think jungle is a little bit closer than people would imagine, like Tarzan is insanely
good and I've done a breakdown on Weibo, the way Weibo plays it's very simple, they play
very heavy jungle to bot and that's where they play, they're the biggest worries, similar
to the BLG mad matchup is I think the top and mid gap in this matchup is tough, like
I think Keen is gonna smash breathe, breathe did not look good at all in their regionals,
got slammed by Zika. So yeah, and I think Keen's just one of the best tops in the world.
So I mean, this this LNG series, he got absolutely slammed and the Genie G series was, I mean,
we won't get into the series, but I think the main point is Breathe. Sorry, my brain
is completely everywhere because I'm absolutely skittling right now because it's world
through stage. Anyway, solo lanes for Gen G should gap. Jungle's a bit close,
But the biggest question is, similar to Mad, Waybo play a similar style to Mad in a way,
where they'll play something like Nidalee Jungle and Tarzan will just sit bot all game
and dive.
I did a lot of other reviews on the team tier list.
Frenek Damwon.
This matchup, speaking about it, unbiased.
Meta for Shoemaker is perfect, actually.
Shoemaker, for those who don't know, had a fucking horrible summer.
And this AD meta was terrible for him, he was fucking trash at this AD meta.
His Shershanna was good but everything else he had to play so many random different champs
to try and find a way into the meta with like Leblancs and TFs and Sylas.
It wasn't good, but you know Strollmaker, he will play Syndra.
He will play Syndra 100%, he will play Leblanc 100%.
His Sylas is good, his Akali is like fine, his Orianna is okay, so he's much better
in this meta.
Humanoid is also pretty good on this meta too as well though.
I feel like Humanoid kind of, if you know Humanoid from Mad Lions, he kind of made his
name in the Orianna Akali meta.
He played a lot of that.
In like the 2011's and the 2012's, he was a big, or was it 2010, sorry, I don't remember
what it was.
I just remember Humanoid and Akali Orianna were pretty big picks for him.
So mid-match up, I think both midlaners, 2010, no, 2020, chat, why do I always do
this?
Why do I always, why do I always say 2010, 2012?
So I swear I've done that like 15 times.
So I think mid lane is pretty close.
Jungle, Razzark's insane, Lucid's debuting on his first worlds, Lucid's mechanics are
good but Lucid is also someone who, I don't know, Lucid was annoying.
The way Dramon was drafting all year was tank junglers and Lucid is insane on AD carry
junglers like Lee Sin and Vi and Wukong.
So I also think Lucid gets a bit of a buff from the meta change as well.
Like he is so boosted it says you only Maokai.
No offense to him.
But his AD junglers are insanely good, his mechanics are insane, really really good mechanic
player.
And the reason that I say Damwon will make top 4 this year at Worlds is because, first
of all I think people underrate them a lot, second of all I think the meta shift is huge
for them.
Kingen has had an amazing split, I think Kingen probably wins that on top, so I would
say Damwon win that on top.
I think jungle is pretty even and mid is pretty even.
That's jungle mid for Damwon has been their weakest point actually.
But with the meta change, I think Damwon's favorite in mid jungle.
And for bot lane matchup, I think aiming in Moham are individually, one of the stronger
bot lanes in the tournament.
So I think Damwon win on bot as well.
So objectively I think right now I don't see any upsets out of these four in my opinion.
I think BLG should be mad.
I think T1 should be favouring in Top East Worlds, Gen.G should be Dwebo, and I think that one should be Phenenic.
TL LNG is a really weird one, because TL, they kind of had opposite kind of stories,
or opposite performance arcs, where LNG is never one of best of five really. They won one and got to Worlds
against a really weak Dwebo.
A lot of people think that LNG are frauds.
I don't know, there's a weird debate around LNG.
If you watch the LPL, they're fraudulent because their Spring Split was dogshit.
There's some irregular season was good, but then this remix is making me busy, but then they they showed up
they bomb that playoffs and they showed up randomly in the
Regionals and popped off and beat way both real
Whereas team liquids hot the opposite story where they kind of dominated all year and then just fucked up the finals big time
LNG has really good star players. I mean scout gala and zika are to me. They're like big stars
Hong's a massive inter and Weiwei is really inconsistent in my opinion, whereas Team Liquid is a very macro lane-swapy, get-lead through lane assignments.
This matchup will be pretty close, I think. Maybe close some people think. I think LNG is favored, but if TL can do their lane movement shenanigans, then they should be in a good spot to take the win.
I would say LNG top is probably even, maybe slightly impact-favoured. I would rely on impact quite heavily in an international like this.
Jungle, I would favour no one, because UmTee and Weiwei are both, I can't trust, they're both really consistent.
UmTee is like this reliable rock, but UmTee is a player that double downs really heavily on lanes, and he kind of puts himself behind at their cost, so I don't trust either of them.
I would slightly favor Weiwei.
Mid lane, Apa versus Scout.
Yeah, Apa's had a big improvement curve.
Don't sleep on Apa. He's improved a lot since last year.
He really has, but I think you can't sleep on a player like Scout in international.
And Gala, Hong versus Yee on CoreJJ.
You know, I would say Gala's better than Yeon,
but I actually think bot matchup combined because of Hong's inconsistency.
I would say 2v2 is pretty close.
2v2 is pretty close. I would say it's 5-50 in the 2v2.
So it's slightly LNG-favorite. You might think that's a crazy take, but I think 2v2-wise I think it could be close.
But Gala's in his own world, you know, like he's probably going to get inted and have to carry somehow.
I'm not coping. I'm not coping. Humm-Life PSG is probably a stomp.
I think PSG's going to get blasted.
I think Humm-Life would in every role. Other than...
Yeah, they would in every role.
I think PSG's going to get smashed.
PSG is taking the 0-7. Flike, these two games though are the games where I'm worried.
Because if you ask me these matchups before Worlds started, I would say yeah, Flike Western G2 win easy.
But now, it's quite odd because Gam look really good and quite a lot stronger than they normally do.
Because Gam of the past is like, who are they going to beat? You know, which team are they going to beat in an upset best of one?
So, Recency Bias, yeah, Recency Bias tells you that GAM is pretty strong, I think FlyQuest should still take it.
But GAM have looked really good.
And then the G2 vs Pain one has got me quite worried.
Just because of Pain's Champions Q games.
That's all the only information I have to go off, because Pain Gaming in Champions Q, they beat LNG, BLG.
And G2 in Champions Q.
And T10 in every single one of those games had like 15 kills.
I can't glaze hard enough to tell you how fucking crazy this guy looks, T-10.
They're AD carry, they're gonna put a lot of resources bot.
He's gonna play Lucian Nami, I think G2 maybe is gonna try and target Lucian Nami.
Or he's gonna play something like Ezreal.
Any champion that has self-sufficient dashes or playmaking, I think T-10 will play.
Or he'll do the Sire game like he did yesterday, if enemy team drafts a dive comp.
G2 though is kind of shrouded in secrecy, I don't know what they're cooking, I really don't.
G2 always comes into worlds with crazy picks or like internationals with crazy picks
For example, one of the things that's actually happening right now is caps is playing Camille mid
In champions queue and solo queue as a counter to these mini champs like Silas or Yone
He's playing Camille mid with grasp. So that could be something. He's playing Jarvan mid
He's playing Fiora like I don't really know what caps is gonna do with this international
He's been playing a lot of Yone in champions queue as well and Aurora of course the two meta mids that everyone's practicing
But he's also been playing Camille and Jarvan and shit, so it wouldn't surprise me if we come into this fucking international, because Yike is so good on AP junglers, I mean if you watch the G2 behind the scenes documentary stuff, Yike is a big AP jungle enjoyer.
And like we talked about, if you're playing AP jungle, you do need an AD mid. What AD mids are there other than Yone? Now that the AD champions in mid are kind of out.
it out it looks like caps is finding champs like Jarvan and Camille which could
be great like I can see it or Yasuo for example Tristana is still playable we've
seen Kled mid we've seen Camille mid we've seen Jarvan mids there could be a
world where G2's red side is some kind of like Jarvan 1 2 and then they play
like Brand on 5 and Jarvan randomly gets flexed to mid and they have Camille
in the draft and Camille gets flexed somewhere else and they have like an MF or an Ash, you know.
I really don't know what direction they're gonna go in because I think they might draft around
the Ike this international. I think they might draft around the Ike for AP junglers
but his Viego is good. His Viego is good. He's been playing Viego a lot in Champions Q as well
so they definitely have pivots back to AD junglers. But I just wonder how much is G2 gonna
play around the Ike. I feel like this international they might play around the Ike a lot.
Like look at his career all time.
Or his year sorry. As much as it's AP jungle meta, like the final source all about the Ike.
The Gwen jungle didn't work on the cooking. What is he actually? Let's just check what
the Ike's been playing. He's played of, oh he's been playing Jax jungle. I saw that,
I remember that. He played Jax jungle in champs queue. Yeah I think Wukong is also going
to be a big pick of the tournament even though he's coming at one game on it.
Wukong's in a big pick everyone's cooking everyone's cooking everyone and the way it works is there's two bubbles right now
There's the west bubble and
There's the east bubble and what they are is there different scrim meta reads
Okay, and what I mean by that is because LPL and LCK teams got here like four days ago
That means they were screaming each other
For like the last two weeks only and they came up with their own meta on this patch
Whereas EU and NA have been screaming each other
for two weeks, and they've got their own meta read as well.
So now when they clash at the opening day of Worlds, this is where teams either thrive or get blasted.
Has EU got the right read or has the LCK LPL got the right read?
Oftentimes, actually, and you might think this is crazy.
If you watch old Worlds, there's like group stages.
The LCK normally starts quite slow in these internationals.
And EU normally comes out the first week like pretty strong.
They either come out really strong or they obviously flop, but it depends who's got the meta read.
Obviously, as the tournament ramps up, LCK becomes fucking insane. LPL is a 50-50, I have no idea what they're like.
But Europe actually comes out quite decent on week 1s. On day 1s, week 1s, Europe comes out pretty decently.
So I don't know what these bubbles are gonna look like. These two different bubbles, like Europe tends to just go like this in international.
whereas the LCK kind of goes like this.
I just wonder what those two bubbles look like,
because the idea would be like, in the LCK LPL maybe Yone first pick is a big thing
and they practice a lot of Yone, from the outside it kind of looks like they have
Hyper on Yone and then Caps comes in and plays Camille mid into Yone and they
haven't played against that because no one in the LPL SK was thinking of
a counter pick to Yone like that and so that dynamic defines everything.
Who wins? Does the Camille mid win? If the Camille mid wins now all the LCK LPL teams
like shit maybe we need to either work on our yone blinds or we need to practice camille or practice
jarvin min or something or practice whatever jack's jungle they're playing and it's just that shift
is so important because either the european team loses and they're like shit these picks aren't
working let's just go back to meta or the european team wins and the lsclpl teams think fuck now
we have to work on the counters or we have to be a bit more caution or draft so day one decides
a lot for these regions of what they're practiced and how they play around their champs.
So it's going to be a fun day, it's going to be a really fun day.
We're going to see everything.
We're going to know every meta pick, that there's a lot of things that didn't happen
in play-ins that I thought would happen.
What was it?
I think for example Renekton Pryo in play-ins was decent, but it wasn't super first
pick heavy.
feel like if you're a game against BLG like bin bin I can't spell he is just
gonna first big Renekton it's gonna happen and you're gonna have to deal
with it rumble prior and planes was very high but LPL team suck at rumble they
do I don't I don't have a better way to say it like I can show you bin
champion pool yes three rumble games right not bad three six nine yes four
Rumble games. Zika has six Rumble games and Breathe has four Rumble games. Okay,
it's not that they're bad, it's just if you compare that to someone like Keen,
or not Keen, he has one Rumble game. Or like Doran for example. The LCK top laners
are very Rumble-prior, heavy. Like they love their Rumbles. So I mean you can
remember the MSI, right? Like all Worlds last year was it with JDG where
they couldn't pick rumble and they picked rumble game one and then they trolled
and then the rumble the rumble problem was like a they play rumble game one
three sign of terrible and then you go into game two and then you go into their
first draft against each other and they realize ah yeah maybe we're pretty bad
at it we'll just ban it instead and not first pick it so yeah LPL rumble I'm
not sure how it'll do I think Bin's rumble how good is Bin's rumble is
the question. Will we see Rumble? I think we might see Rumble if Jarvan Vi are in the draft.
I feel like without Jarvan Vi or Rel, I just feel like this champ, the lane phase just isn't
as strong as it used to be. They nerfed his lane phase. He still is really good at pressing
R. He's still really good at pressing R and then like teamfight happens. But that's
about it. Shall we know what they listen to? Where's my song at? Alright, 36 minutes
the world's chart chat. Anything else we need to go through? Can you see my pickums?
Yeah you can see my pickums. I don't trust top esports. TLDR my pickums, top esports
is gonna be frauds. I also think the safest, don't forget chat to do your pickums. You
have one hour to lock it, one hour. You have to pick eight teams you think will go
through Swiss and one team you think will be undefeated. I feel like I just trust
GenG to go undefeated. I don't see a world where I don't go undefeated. I just
wonder how much, the two biggest questions I have for this world is how much damage
of the plains team is gonna do? Likes of Pain, Gammon, PSG? How much damage the plains team's gonna do?
Is one question? And how good is T1? It's my second question. I really wonder how good T1 is.
Because when we get to top 8, if T1's looking good, I'm scared for LPL again. But if T1's looking,
if T1 bombs out and goes like 3-2 and scrapes top 8, this world is anyone's. It is. I mean,
I mean the favourites for worlds are Gen.G, BLG, right?
I mean, BLG even last year lost to Weibo, and Gen.G always seemed to flop out as well.
Like, they lost to the DRX in 22, they lost to BLG in 23, was it BLG?
It was, right?
No.
Yes.
It was BLG they lost to.
In quarters?
Top 8, they lost in the first round?
Yeah.
Yeah, worlds is great.
Worlds is like, it doesn't matter how many domestic titles you have or how good you were.
Like, the best way, someone phrased it to me the other day, it's like, you can be the best in the world
for
8 months every day. Every single day, every week, you can be the best in the world.
But if you're not the best in the world on one day that matters,
then your 8 months are fucking irrelevant. It doesn't, no one cares.
If you're not the best in the world for that one day,
it's over.
Goodbye, farewell.
Oh shit, I just have to update this team real quick.
Umm...
I forgot to do something, not bad.
Fired.
Chad, I kinda wanna watch the teaser again!
I kinda wanna watch the teaser again!
Is that crazy?
I like the violin.
Mmm...
Mmm...
I wanna watch it again!
And then we can see the live stream again!
For the third time.
It's not a violin yet, it's...
And the violin had like a...
Dark, dark, not an interesting...
Don't swear, don't swear. I'm just a trailer.
Firstly, I'm excited for everything.
I always promise I'm gonna win.
I think it's a different level.
We are here to change that.
I was a rookie in 2019, so I was the first World Champion.
At least we don't have a World Fire and stuff like that.
I've been playing for 3 years.
I'm not a pro, but I'm confident.
Last time I won the European Championship, I got the world champion.
This time I will still try my best.
You should never underestimate us.
No one wants this more than us.
Bro, this music goes kinda hard.
Every player has a lot of places to learn,
that's why I can play now.
I've experienced a lot.
What I can do now is to take out the best state.
And everyone thinks this is worth a lot.
Don't you think there's a world jinx?
Uh...
When I go to the world, there's a jinx that the LCK won.
Then you won everything thanks to you.
That's right.
I don't have any jerseys. I didn't go to Berlin.
I like it. This takes me back to 2019.
They play in Spelgine's first run.
I've won the championship five years ago.
What do I feel when I come here again?
I don't feel anything at all.
Because time has passed so quickly.
If we can play here again this year,
we will feel more comfortable.
So, your first finals, rookie year,
how did it feel?
I think the best part for me was seeing how happy my family was.
Especially because it took a lot of convincing for me to go pro because we're like a traditional
era family.
So it was really nice.
What if we put Bucks off in the Winter Worlds, thoughts?
I felt like the first time in a long time I could be myself.
It was a really good feeling for me.
T-Naut!
Last year, last year, when I lost to T-Naut,
I personally didn't have a chance to win.
This is such a dawn moment, man. The aura is crazy.
Faker's coach, Sonastin just dropped.
It's okay, it's okay. I can't win.
I was struggling to win, but I won again.
I was a good friend, so I think it was really good.
2018 was really important to me.
I felt like a mineral.
And I kept telling it until we did win.
We didn't win at all, but we got pretty close.
We'll see you in a month.
We'll see you in a month.
We'll see you in a month.
We'll see you in a month.
We'll see you in a month.
We've been through a lot this year.
We can do it.
We think we can do it.
Because we've had a lot of challenges.
I'm not sure about that.
I'm sure you're not.
You're right.
What was the final?
In 2019.
I think of the final.
And while it felt like a shame to lose in the final,
for me 2019,
kind of just represents
hope.
Oh, man.
The emotions of growing on stage,
my dad, my mom, my siblings,
All of them supporting me, they felt like all of Europe was behind us, it shows me that we can do it once again, music's mega now.
The Phoenix music, the guarantee.
The moment you are interested in people, it's very important.
And it's very important.
Let's go!
Let's go!
When will I win?
Fucking PEEEACE!
Holy shit, Chate!
Chate.
I don't ask this much.
But this graphic is crazy.
This is the picture for Worlds now.
This is us.
This is the rat sir down there. Can you see him? Can you see all of them?
Drop a like or a retweet on it. Any interaction?
There it is. World time, baby. Oh, chat, you know, I was like, I got food.
World time, baby. There's no new daily dose. Kiro did his predictions, did he?
Wait, Kiro's trying. Where is it? Chat Kiro's.
Where's this link? Is there any links? Is there any links?
Is there any links?
Do you want me to link MSI?
Do you want me to link me?
Kat, I think we're going to have to add it
Kat, I think we're going to have to add it
We need a Mickey XD for today
We need a Mickey XD
We need it for today
What is this?
Worlds 2011, Fnatic World Champs
Worlds in EU 2015, OG MFIs
Worlds in EU 2019, Ultimate Manganooks
Make them bleed, let's go MDK, Fnatic and G2
For the LEC, for Glory
In the worlds giveaway.
Oh wait, we have 20 minutes. We can do anything.
Do I want to watch the trophy rune episode 6, Jeff?
Do I want to watch the trophy rune episode 6?
I could watch a little bit of it.
It's got subtitles.
We never won a single match in the summer season,
but we won the game in the spring
and we won the finals.
I was hoping that we could win.
Is this the playoffs for the regular season?
This is where they got smashed.
I think it would be easy
We have to look at the left side
Oh no it's on the big stage
Okay it's on the big better, but still bad
How interesting
It's coming out on the left
It's coming out on the left
Did it come out on the back?
Did it come out on the back?
Did it come out on the back?
Sejuani is high, Sejuani is high
I'm dead
I'm dead
I'm dead
I'm dead
I'm dead
I'm dead
I'm dead
Now they have to run the regional
This is when they won that they would have meant it to, um, they would have meant it to
I mean, it's a world to do in that series.
I think it's important to have a good result.
The result is important, but I think the process is important.
I thought we were leading the game well in a difficult situation.
If we can go to the next round, we can start again.
The three champions were eliminated, and the second seed was confirmed, so the third and fourth seed haven't been decided yet.
We were going to meet the T-plus team before the third seed was decided, and we won the playoffs two years ago.
I think it's a situation where we can try to win the third seed.
I'll try to make a strong force
Ah, I see
It's not gonna be easy to get the ult
If I don't get the ult, I'll get the strong force
Ah, I'm dead, let's go back
Wait a minute
Ah, this is it.
Man, it was all downhill for T1.
You have to understand that Zeus had to carry really hard in some of his games.
Like, he had a lot of pressure because he was a huge carry.
It's a special mission.
I need to see the training, but I can't do it.
I thought it was a very advantageous game.
I'll try to win too much.
I think the game got smaller and smaller.
I think I made a big mistake when I saw the whole series.
I think it was a little hard.
I'm almost on the Asian side.
The next day, when the team members gathered together,
other players were a little brighter and more tensed.
They prepared hard for me, so I was a little more confident.
I was not afraid, and I think I was able to prepare well for the KT match.
I'm going to push you out now quickly, and you're good. I'm done eating.
I think I thought about it a little bit before the KT match.
This summer, I've been feeling a bit pressured about winning and that's what I've been doing.
I didn't feel pressured at all, but I think that's what I've been trying to do.
I think if you don't have a follow-up, you'll be able to play faster.
If you're going to play solo, you should focus more on the set and talk more about it.
But if you don't have a follow-up, you'll be able to play faster.
If you want to win, you can play solo.
If you don't have a follow-up, you'll be able to play solo.
We're ready to chat.
I think he's looking at me.
How low should I play?
It's supposed to be close, here.
Go back.
Go to the center.
Go back to the center.
Slowly.
Go to the center.
Go down.
Go to the center.
I can't use my hands.
I can't use my hands.
I'll go back.
I think we have a lot more experience than winning the All-Sets, so I think it's good for our teammates to have a chance to win the All-Sets.
I think I was able to focus on the game well because I was able to catch and win the game well with other players.
I love today's game, especially today's game. I think we can calm down like now.
We made this set so that we can calm down, but it didn't make sense.
Come on, Karrion.
Show me the pace.
First of all, personally, I think I was more nervous than I was in the game.
I think I felt the tension and pressure that I had felt so far.
If we lose this game, we will be given an Astralisks
Why is it so slow? Oh my god
I mean yeah, if you don't make worlds how...
It's really embarrassing right? Not making worlds after being world champs?
Actually yeah, the pressure is probably way more different pressure
You're not pressured to like achieve your pressure to like maintain
And that's much stronger pressure
Oh, Zeus Yone was incredible in this last game.
You make a go.
Messing with him dying.
Does he die here? I can't remember.
Hey, why did he skip to his death?
He popped off.
You have 10 million left in Japan.
He goes trying to clear it out, make sure that he sees on the dive there's a 3!
Trying to die!
I mean he was 1v3 though again.
That's one for one!
He's one for four but he's good defs.
Every def was good.
He's low.
Let's go for the camera, let's go for the camera.
Take the third one.
Take the third one.
Should I take the third one?
Take the third one.
Hey, do you want to take the third one?
Take the third one.
Take the third one.
Did you take the third one?
How much more do I have to do?
Let's go, let's go, let's go
One more time, come here, come here, come here
After the set was over, I was relieved
I feel so comfortable
and it feels like I'm living in a different life.
How did you feel when you first came here?
I was so nervous that I came here.
Realed him right in.
What was your wish?
I was so worried.
So I felt a lot of relief.
Come on, Red Boyz! Time to pop off of World of Soul!
I think it's a good chance to get a chance to get a chance to win the World Cup.
First of all, even if we win the World Cup,
I thought that the world wouldn't change that much.
Because we had the same spring, MSI, summer, and the same sky.
And we had a team that was not good for someone else.
I think that was the fun part.
What do you mean, we get a carry? Who said that? We get a carry.
He had to do so many things to just play the game.
That means they probably know more.
I tried to change my posture a lot, so I thought I'd try to look at the world and work hard.
I expected that it would take a long time to adjust, so I think it was a good experience for me this summer.
I personally think that I'm the one who can get the best results.
I had faith that I could do more in Chaeyeon.
And I was so happy to be playing as Chaeyeon's fans supported me.
But when I came back to Chaeyeon,
I was confident because I came back after my birthday.
And I was confident because I was going to the same team with my teammates.
I think it's really hard for a team that has a strong history to be able to do well in practice.
So I was wondering if I could do well this year as well.
And I was really thankful that I was able to trust the good members and the team.
We've been together for a long time, so I thought I'd like to win this year.
I thought there would be more difficulties than that.
There are still a lot of challenges this year,
but we still have a lot to do to win this year.
We still have a lot to do, so I think we can cheer up.
She won this back, maybe?
Okay, so we're gonna have to end it here because we're all just talking.
And hope it won't show I'm saying it's not but it's not I know
Age main event big time shocks on the ad talk to me
24 World Championship time for the Swiss stage. We are in the right games arena in beautiful Berlin, Germany
My name is shocks, and I am so happy to join everyone
Welcome Sean. Thank you. We're back.
I'm so excited. Who the fuck's that? He's still flying high.
I don't know how long he's going to last, but I'm here with Goldberg. Good job.
Um, and with Razzan, our first game is going to start pretty, pretty soon,
so we're going to get through a lot of stuff, Jack.
Absolutely. I want to start with play-ins, though, and for those of you who missed it,
100 Thieves played amazingly. They were incredibly dominant.
They didn't a proud. It's unfortunate that they opted out of Swiss stage
because they'd accomplished their goals.
No, that's incorrect. They got knocked out.
I was told we weren't fact-checked.
You know what? With how my teams have been doing in the last couple of years,
I'll allow you to make it. You're right.
Of course, these teams from the Plains will be joining our other part of the crop
coming out of the rest of the world, the best of the best.
So even if you did get them Plains, you're going to have to play a little better, I think,
if you want to beat these teams. They also have the patch to contend with.
We have a couple of takeaways already from Plains, Rath.
Which teams that we're going to see for the first time you think are going to be benefited or will suck more because of the patch
The bounce team to have it out for the horse
because unfortunately not only did they sting on to
Everything so they made a little bit worse, but also
So, APA was an amazing AD Carry mid, like he had his Corky, Tristana and everything.
So a little nerf.
Good point.
I like how your setting expectations low.
Just a tiny bit.
Yeah.
Where you're sitting actually.
He's getting his excuses.
I'm sorry to bring.
I'm going to say, and we saw a little bit of this in play, but I just want to reiterate
it, I think Mad Lines was actually buffed a little bit, partially from the mid lane
champion pool.
I think they really struggled with the AD Carry meta, and they looked a lot more
comfortable in this meta for me.
So I'm probably going to put them about here.
I think they might make a little bit of noise in Swiss.
all the help they can get. No, I like that. I mean, we're fine. Plans was easy cruising from at lines,
but Wales is going to be easy cruising here. I think it's going to be BLG. Yeah, BLG love this patch.
You know, they said, we hate Team Liquid. We love this team. It's about time they take a world
championship. Buffing the matches in the map. They're even better now. Did you see Knight's
champion pool? They're giving him an even better champion pool now. Wade is also really good
They do on the AD jungle jungle jungle, he's similar to the owner jungle.
How good this patch is for BLG.
They give buff jacks, they give buff jacks.
They are one of the favorites, maybe even more so.
I got some LCK teams, I got DK and T1 because I feel like their mid laners will benefit
or should be benefiting from back to the majors and the mid laners.
Shox did a research pro.
Showmaker favorite of this patch.
Showmaker the same, so I think it's going to help them.
There's other lanes that, you know, we're not going to talk about them now.
I want to see Faker, you know, he's never placed below top four in any of the
He's attended seven of them. So hopefully he gets a little bit of a little bit of
Yeah, I was a decent throw extra fire for like catch. All right, cool
So we'll see of course how everything develops
But I did want to take a look at what from our fan perspective are some of our favorite things
I think she reason she said seven is because in my world video breakdown. I said faker seven times instead of in nine
My bad. That's my fault. That's my fault
I remember saying the same things and everyone corrected me and I said, I put in the comments
and I said, my bad.
That's my fault, don't blame her on me.
I saw her Instagram story picture of my video, I was like, oh, that's nice, and I was like,
oh shit.
I did say that.
Rap boy interview.
total teams do well even if lck has more titles so i want to see if that gets even
out yeah i mean i'm going to index even closer on that for me it's chovie and
knight going up against each other i want this story like there's a million
storylines of worlds but the thing is we've only ever seen these two
play against each other 10 times for how good they are the two best midlaners
in the world right now i need to see more and i think when we come further
into the tournament these are the two players that we're going to be
following they want their world championship and i want to see
I'm looking forward to the Griffin reunion. That's gonna be a lot of fun. There was an interesting
The Griffin reunion.
Speaking to LeHens and LeHens saying well you're the only one who wasn't able to win.
So obviously you were you were the missing link but Griffin was insane. They were the
best team to never win anything.
We love the happy sharks. That's a great photo.
Thank you.
That looks fantastic.
The individual pieces are insane.
It's true. Looking forward to that, we'll see how they all end up.
Of course, Rath, how about you?
Yes, and for me, it's the fact that we've already gone through plans
and we've had a lot of unique picks, so in terms of unique picks per game,
it's the most of any playing out of the world.
Jack, you need to go down again.
Yeah, you gotta talk a little bit.
What?
Really?
Yeah, you can have a copy of the back of the ALS games,
but if you look at this last year, there's less games,
but also just more unique picks in general.
I think the benefit of it is some of the balance changes.
lane swapping is meant if you actually kind of hide what doesn't really matter
you know average per game there's 2.5 new picks hold this out photo
it's never coming back I've got a honor honorable mention rather because
worlds is in Europe and I was inspired by Goldberg is emphatic speech that you
made in Munich but when worlds is in Europe things go well in 2011 fanatic
won the world championship and it's you know it is it is on the graphics that
what happened in 2015 two teams made it to the semi-finals we won't say what
happened after that in 2019 all teams got out of the groups G2 made it to the
finals EU and EU is different you're thinking 2021 it wasn't supposed to be
here so I'm just going to discount that completely true cooking here stay one
anyone and everyone should be allowed to dream.
Tell me those stories, guys!
I can't forget about that.
Today's the day for coach.
Today's the day of belief.
Tomorrow also.
Chad, we only get one day of coach until everyone gets fished in, okay?
Let's coach one day.
Two days of Swiss.
Yes.
Have got to be two of the best days of any world championship.
We see 16 teams a day.
Yes.
Both days, it's insanity.
Yes.
It's crazy.
And some really, really fire match-ups as well, but as said, we are in the Swiss
stage.
We saw it already last year at Worlds.
And as we take a look at our bracket, Chad, there are some things that are staged
and some things that have changed.
Yeah, so a quick recap of how Swiss actually works
because if when you look at the big bracket,
it looks complicated, let's simplify it.
You beat three different teams,
you move on to the bracket stage.
We can get to the bracket as well.
This is just a schedule for the first day.
So here's the bracket.
You beat three teams, you move on,
you lose to three teams, you're eliminated.
And as you'll see here, some of these are best of threes.
If you're ever in a best of three,
It's for advancement or elimination.
Otherwise it's going to be a mess.
You understand how Swiss works?
I feel like a lot of people explain it.
Hopefully you understand it now.
So like a lot of people explain it, I just hope the chat understands enough.
Very likely we will see no rematches throughout the entire Swiss bracket.
Yeah, I think that's a-
No rematches are huge.
Awesome change, I think.
No rematches is a good change.
I think left wanting a little bit last year's worlds, right?
So with the no rematch rule, that was just good-voided.
Yeah, it's true.
Chad, look in your pickums!
Look in your pickums now!
Also remember to lock in your pickums!
Did you lock in your pickums?
I did!
Oh my god, no!
Anyways, we are getting free our very first match of the Swiss stage two days of Best of Ones
and it's BLG up versus MDK
And we're gonna start by introducing the LEC's third seed MDK. They did come from the Plains
But we got Mirwin in the top lane, Elioya in the jungle, Frescawe in the mid lane.
Madra good, they just have a weakness in the center lanes.
In the bot lane who have really impressed. And moving on to Derefonens, it's BLG the first seed coming out of the LPL
and huge favorites with Bin in the top lane.
It'll be there in a second, but you know already, Wei.
Well, you may not know that because we actually only joined as of recent and then night in the mid lane and then elk and on
Maybe we won't get the graphic or maybe we'll get it later. We'll see
And for me if you look at the the BLG squad they
Exciting to watch them because the three here have been elk and on have been together for so damn long
Says two hundred six hundred days. Okay, three of them exactly so
Mods check for rifle because their team that has made Mods adjustments
They haven't made big shake ups
They made adjustments so they can get over the hurl when they lost to label gaming and say finals of world
They're pissed off. Why couldn't you be so of course they bring in?
So cool, right brought on that bit of it's so weird to be in the LEC studio. How crazy is that?
BLT's in the LEC studio. That's so wild for the consistency and they allowed them to play through top lane
Okay, now let them stay I cannot put up the LEC with these things. I cannot make it a global
as for BLG for a few years now into the actual game.
There is always that growth you could clearly see
and then making the right decisions
in order to be able to grow further Goldberg.
And with Wei, that has definitely been evident in their play.
No, he was just what they needed
because they are psychopaths.
They can fire on all cylinders.
The problem is when your jungler want to fire
on all cylinders as well,
when they were playing with Shun,
you needed someone that brought in that stability
and Wei has done that.
I think the matrix is intact.
He'll be on.
Right now, in terms of setting his laners up,
You can play through a knight, you can play through a bin, you can play through a elf.
There is all the star players all around.
This roster now has just been built for one thing, and it's to win, not just a world championship.
Tarzan falls over here. No, don't cut it! He falls over. It's funny.
Absolutely. And if you look at the year they've had, or even just the summer split they had,
this is probably the best version of BOG.
He slips on the stage.
Especially in terms of their dominance in the LPL.
And then you look back at the last three international tournaments they've been a part of.
Second place at MSI, they lost in Game 5 of the World Semi-Finals.
And then second place at MSI. So weird seeing them in BOG jerseys though.
So now they're the best version of that team that was always either second or third at internationals
And they're one of the favorites of the whole tournament. Absolutely. I forgot that added caveat of last year
What happens we want to we want to make sure that doesn't happen again
Even if it comes down to us to
Stop a T1 we want to do that. It's super super exciting
And if we talk about the jungler for BLG we also need to talk about this
They are locking, they are locking.
Locked in.
Come on, yo, yo!
Show me the magic!
is incredibly impressive and that was just to make it to the world's playing
their performance in playing was downright impressive so i think even though
their first opponent should have happened i think there's a chance they have
but it feels you lose this game how crazy is
world 2021 first coming in this first world he was the young player surrounded by veterans
and now at this stage my favorite things in the keys we even see in
car pieces he's talking about he sees himself and some of the younger players on his team
the the trials and tribulations they go through throughout the year if he buys a
It is, and Goldberg Alvaro was really impressive in the play-ins, and I like to see that because for people who haven't followed EU that much this year, this bot lane has been confident from the get-go.
Goldberg just wants to do his pick-ups. He's like, come on, fuck you, he's doing this on the desk.
Oh, they said that this would be better than some players. I'm not going to name it right now, but I like that fire that Grinta and they showed it already here at Worlds.
No, absolutely, you know if you only watch EU any winter you probably would have thought Alvaro is the best support
But if you didn't actually watch spring and summer, that's where they had a dip down
But the impressive part comes down to when they finally got back to play and Alvaro had this series of his life
Not just against Vikings, but then again when they played against PSG
I love reading the comments in the beginning from the first series where they said lol these spots can have all the
Highlights they need for Alvaro in the first series then the second series happen as well
the alley start to go through.
You know the code, quick.
Every single time, things looked a little dicey.
I made a play.
Yes, but I made it myself.
I drew that.
I drew that.
Because Miron and Friskali were not playing at a Super
Highland.
Those two better than to succeed.
That is a great point, especially for B&G.
We are excited about M&K getting to play.
But we got to be honest here.
They are huge underdogs.
Now, there was a little bit of banter back and forth.
Bint said, well, Miron, I know
they love playing these weird champions
and some strange picks.
Save them.
you're gonna need them when you're 0-1-1
so you're saying he's thinking about it?
I mean, he certainly is
now this can come off as a bit cocky
if you don't know bin but he's feeling just
top lane in the world right now
so if anyone wants to see this, it's him
on the other side of the coin though
he is saying this because he's super
scared of mail-in
he's like, please don't bring these pigs out
he might as well not to
oh it'd be a shame if you did
just saying it for later
he's offering free advice
for your own good. He's recognizing how good Mad Lions can be,
same for the teams you can actually beat.
Thank you, but no thank you.
That's what we're saying over here.
We're going to bring out the range top laners.
Let's see.
I think we're going to just lane swap.
Oh, hey, we have a match against just going to continue?
Actually, Mad lane swap against BLG sounds pretty good.
It will obviously depend on the draft.
But if they go with an early Kassadin pick.
My one goal for Mad this game is Friscoey.
Just go even in lane. That's it.
They go even in mid Friscoey and Nights.
That's already enough for me.
I'm sold even if they get stopped he goes even the first 10 minutes in lane
That's fine. I'm concerned he's gonna get absolutely blasted in there
There's like you know, like that they actually saw a bit of that
So I think actually being in the plans really help
What if the lane swap bot lane gets kind of used to it a little bit more and practice some of the lane swap
So I think it actually helps them quite considerably. Yeah, we'll see indeed. Um, is there anyone you know what you're gonna predict mad lines
I'm just gonna. Okay. What's the percent chance that they win?
12%
I know you want them to win, but how likely do you think it is?
Well, honestly, I think it comes down to the fact that it's probably just a 50-50
True, you win or you don't win, and that goes for the entire world championship, everyone has a chance
But all jokes aside, you're a month of epicness on the Swiss stage, it starts right now
Oh my god, you threw an iPad at him! What?!
What?! Turn the shit up this shit goes mega hard.
This is the third time I'm watching this and I can't wait to watch it again.
The violin's crazy there.
Pigeon, what does the pigeon mean chat?
Is there hidden codes in there?
The violin like...
Very, very, not gonna be interesting.
Don't spoil, don't spoil.
I didn't see the piano.
It's spoiling our game!
I'm not excited for everything.
That's a cello?
We are here to change that.
No one wants this more than us.
Let's get it, Phenarik!
Not shoes!
Levi!
Every player has a place to learn,
so it's enough to beat them now.
This year, I've done a lot.
What I can do now is to take the best of myself.
And everyone will think that I'm worth more than this.
Scoot, scoot!
I think you have a World Zincs, don't you?
The Humble Life jackets are crazy.
If you play the World Zincs, you have a Zinc that won the game.
Then, you won the game thanks to you.
That's right.
Victory color.
This section, back to 2019.
2019 mentioned.
Schizo!
I won the championship here.
What do you feel when you come here again?
To be honest, I don't feel anything.
I think it's because I've been through a lot of things.
If we can do this again this year,
I think we'll feel better.
So, your first finals, rookie year, how did it feel?
I think the best part for me was seeing how happy my family was,
especially because it took a lot of convincing for me of the Hill Pro
because we're like a traditional air family, so it was really nice.
What about you?
I'm a little dog.
I felt them. I felt like the first time in a long time I could fool myself.
What's your goal while you're playing pro?
I've won everything except for winning.
If I win, I feel like my goal is achieved.
No, I've been a staying forever. He's a loud lead.
Last year, after I lost to Tyran, I was able to play against him without any failures.
Here comes the all-raddon moment.
I'm going to be a champion in 2020.
I was going to win, but it was hard to win, but I was able to win.
I was going to be a champion, so I'm going to be a champion.
Bro, I'm so fucking pumped!
2018 was really important to me.
I just felt like it was winnable, and I kept saying it until we did win.
We didn't win at all, but we got pretty close.
Get done!
Krispy Kreme, I was old. Zika, the boys. I wasn't there. In 2019, people will think that it's a final. The ending.
And while it felt like a shame to lose in the final, for me 2019 kind of just represents hope.
That's right! Oh, Perkz!
The emotions of growing on stage, by that, my mom, my siblings, all of them supporting me.
She felt like all of Europe was behind us.
It shows me that we can do it once again.
Let's go!
Lock in!
We waited 10 months for this!
It's a little bit more dangerous than I thought.
I'm going to win.
10 months! It takes one day!
To be the second best in it's over!
Nothing matters, just lock in and win!
I'm going to win.
When will I win?
Final boss.
Okay, it begins!
We finally fucking made it!
This world has some magic around it man, I can feel it!
this has magic I love it
16 teams that made it to this day for the next 10 days 8 will be eliminated 8 will
move on to the bracket stage you saw the audio full of these guys everyone has a
unique story everyone has a journey to get here world-class talent across the
board you always see who is the best I'm Draco's joined by videos for the
first four matches of the day and I mean they're all bangers each and every
It's a clash of ambition, dreams are on the line, and for all of these pro players, this
is what they've ultimately been working towards.
It's Worlds 2024, it's the Swiss stage, and we're starting off with a David versus Goliath.
The Titans of BLG will be going up against the underdogs of MDK.
Come on man, you have the chance to do the funniest thing ever!
You have the chance to do the funniest thing ever!
All the cards the BLG's favorite is acquiring this one best of one at the news.
this fucking World Championship. Everything is so stacked into their favor. Everything's
perfect.
It was super fun last night watching some champions queue games, seeing Knight and Ben
going up against each other, Knight getting a cheeky solo kill up against Ben. It was
clear that they were having a lot of fun last night and I'm excited to see what they're
bringing out today because the meta, I feel like that it's in BLG's favor. We're
gonna have a turn of center.
Yeah, heavily, heavily, heavily.
We'll get to see Knight back.
Heavily, heavily, heavily.
The most successful picks of all time as we're getting ready for the draft.
Get me in the draft. Get me in the draft.
Are they gonna ban the Nidalee from Elioya?
Are they just gonna ban it?
Okay, insta-banned.
Insta-banned.
I mean, they played Nidalee, Cassante, Syndra, Jinx.
Both, all four of them...
Okay, well, they took Jinx away as well.
Ziggs ban versus BLG is good.
I mean, first pick's less patched, Aurora, yeah.
Ash is not the first pick that they might have to ban, Matt.
Enemy team bans Ash.
I think Vi-Band here is pretty good. I would look for some kind of Vi-Band here.
Astral-Band.
That's kind of odd.
Okay, make sure you careful of Vi. I think Vi is in the slump here.
Can Matt play Zyra?
Into that? They get Skarner, but Tenne plays Zyra?
Vi unlocks Night Shampoo perfectly.
Think about it. Every champ for Night is slumped here.
It's Slammed here. He goes Syndra and he goes Auri and he goes anything here.
Skarner, yeah. It's the best jungle pick.
The question is, do they play Zyra on 3?
Here is a denial.
Surely they deny Night Syndra. You have to do that.
I think it's a must.
It's a must and then you're going to go Auri.
Yeah, I think it's the best choice. Seriously.
You give that guy Syndra, it's already lost.
Who is very vulnerable when she doesn't have flash or she doesn't have scatter, which is incredibly long for her.
She can be like 5, level 6, makes it pretty easy to find kills.
I think it's fine, it's fine, it's a strong blind.
I'm surprised it's going NAR instead of Renekton does.
One of the first times in history I've looked at what's on the map, and I'm sure Nite will go Auri here.
It's Nite's champ who'll seem to Auri.
I told you, if this is down he goes Auri with Viperseq.
It's really good for B.O.G. Vi-Auri.
Ooh, she's a bit scary already, but I think Matt did their best.
I don't understand the astral band though.
I don't really understand the astral band.
Yeah, he's one of his main champs. He's gonna build Majais.
Cassante top? Okay.
He doesn't want to go for something like Camille or Cooks.
Okay, Mad Ant's cooking as hard as I thought they would.
They're playing very standard.
I'm a bit scared to do that.
Kinben?
Yeah, true, actually. They might swap your right.
Kin Esfield, Zeke's, Ash, Jinx.
Is Varus just really OP now?
Yeah, Varus Lucian Nami, I think, or OP.
You're seeing 80 carry bands Varus Lucian
Elk Lucian is insane. I think Lucian ban I would ban Lucian I think here unless they want to take it
But I think Lucian Nami here is fucking OP. Yeah
Yeah, I think Varus is the strongest Varus MF
There's one two three four five six eight even I guess it's Varus or Xayah for man
But if they pick Zyra they go Varus
I think Zyra blind here, they go Varus
It's gonna be quite tricky
It's a hard pick here
Tristana, Bob? No, Syndra, Bob!
Where are they flexing Syndra, Bob?
They're flexing Syndra, Bob
That's not what I'm expecting
Kaisa-Rell, that's OP
Kaisa-Rell is really good for them
What are they cooking?
Oh, they're using Tristana on the swap on they chat
They're using AD Tristana with Pomolish on the swap
Or they're putting Tristana mid
I mean, obviously the easiest pick here for a man is Alistar
Because Alistar is always picked into rel
But I don't know what they're cooking.
It depends what this is doing.
Okay, that's going to be standard.
Chat, I'm going to run ads. If you want to avoid ads, you can use a tier one on Twitch where I'm subscribed to the channel.
You get no ads during the whole of the world. I have to run them before the game, so you don't get them during the game.
So I'll see you in a sec. Here's a big kiss.
If you want to stop to avoid them, go ahead. You don't have to go.
I'll see you in a sec. And we'll just run you back while the ads are going.
Where is it's Syndra going? It's Syndra mid.
It's AD Tristana.
It's Tristana AD on side lane with demolish. He's gonna go demolish Tristana.
Holy fuck, I've never seen so many primes in my fucking life. Jesus Christ.
What the fuck? Yeah, this lane swap. But what does BLG do against the lane swap?
Do they just target Mance and just follow them around? What do you mean by that?
Do they just predict the swap?
Do they just predict the swap?
I think it's not a bad idea to just predict the swap and go for it.
I don't think it's a bad idea.
Just predict the swap.
Jesus Christ, bro. Thank you all for the subs.
You're absolutely mentally ill.
Every single person who sub.
Honestly, I just have this is you for you baby
My heart rate you fighting that's right
Stepping out of what was there comfort zone domestically at least to be more about scaling to be less about
necessarily finding these early skirmishes and see if level one is really important here from that level one is super important
Remember when three you are through to the bracket stage lose three
and you are out to highlight it so beautifully earlier
of course any elimination or qualification games
What is match level one strat?
Are they just going to match lanes?
There's no way right?
Both side lanes don't look great.
Okay.
I don't know how Susanna AD carry goes.
So far, our ping's coming down.
Information trying to be garnered from both sides.
You can see MDK, MDK's bot lane
already hovering around the top side jungle.
Let me cut the camera a bit.
They need to keep track of any potential wards
being invested from either side.
There you go.
I'm already getting aggressive on Alvaro
We'll just try to walk him down
Rocking the platform would be decent
They're swapping, they're swapping
I think Tristana's playing Demolish as well
No, she's playing Sorcery second, so no Demolish
What?
Oof, mid is a horror
Oh my god, mid is completely lost
He has the base, NCP, NDS, no flash
The good news is on a lane swap
You can just hover one side, right?
So he'll base
on the match should we been should have known that this win clean stops coming
right very ambitious at the very least I've seen the lost TP and flash for on
some cross map is happening you can see the way he's already moved to the bot
side of MDK's jungle the map is gonna be split what is Alvaro doing
Alvaro's here still has his flash they're getting absolutely made fun of
I mean so traditionally what you'll do is you'll punish you if you walk up
And you try and be cocky, they will hit you.
They have mid is really hard.
They probably have double... no, don't...
How does... how does...
So Alvaro wants to enter bot here, so Kasam, they can TP.
but I don't think Vi will let him. He's gonna get engaged on. Vi's gonna stop Alistar from entering bot. Look, he's fighting him right now.
Wei gets the Gromp and then Alvaro goes to tower. Cassante TP's, I think they die on the 2v4.
How do they defend Botzer one?
Cassante TP's in, but they're both dead, are they? Are they both dead?
one else just gonna have to get a lot of work done Q finally gonna come out
immediately he goes down here perfect by BLG's XP first blood is there can
they kill mirror window is a big that much harder to dive as long as he has
W up it's really just me when I hear enough the pathmaker crucial dashing
through ball breaker coming in flatback from me with the plasma stacks are
already there just trying to get XP again I think he's does he still have W
it's like it's crucial that he gets the wave at the very least W when trying
Oh, he got Vi!
Now, yeah, Mirwin!
Oh, God, he got both of them!
Oh, my God, that's massive!
That's fucking huge for the game!
Absolutely saved!
Because Bean lost all this top wave as well.
Come on, Mirwin!
Show me the magic!
I don't know how he played that. I really don't know how he played that.
BLT must have fucked up the Juggle.
So let's see if he chunks on, how does On get aggro?
He tanks now auto attack, he hits 1, 2, On tanks to 3rd, but he's not getting executed
because he got tanked and Mirwin solo kills away.
Oh it's massive, that's massive.
He's there for all that XP.
Doesn't even matter if you get the smoke.
A small smoke, he can't be overconfident.
He knows, hey guys, I pulled this off,
but it's a big road to climb.
Getting an early lead is one thing,
but we've seen MDK find these early leads before.
The camera did go mid lane though, and then...
Only four minutes in, so they called us a lead.
But Nights already TP'd, which is good.
You can tell it's day one of warlords,
because the second anything happens,
we're like, that's the best play I've seen of all.
Which is technically true in Swiss stage, but...
Come on.
We can take a breath.
Also, Tristana's ahead in XP of Kaisa.
They have bot push.
Alvro is a little behind but tops in a great spot
Oh, he needs a push out really bad, he needs a push out
Get the push out on base quick
It's okay
It's okay
He's gonna lose a wave, I think if it's not cannon, and that's all that happens
In this matchup specifically that you can see how he's able to find these nice trades and he's able to get a nice health advantage
And the fact that for scoury doesn't have flash he's gonna be forced to go back
So so shoes first item I like that because he has no TP. He can run back to lane quicker
Boots are gonna come in from him as he makes his way back to lane as quickly as possible
But he's still behind though
Most of the wave here is the dragon now being started by BLG
I respect the call here from BLG
BLG are on drake and isn't aria on a base timer or she bought
You draw to snowball a bigger leave of my denying Drake's early they eliminate the late
Now we're just gonna use that Drake timer to go in for a lane gank
Hey, no
On that splash now
Oh the W didn't hit because he got pulled out of it. It's kinda scuffed
Shouldn't be too much more here than pushing in the wave to crash
They do get these night out of on but nothing else really
it's kind of scuffed but it's okay are they gonna base and swap now this will be
such a mad move to just swap oh the e was clutch it clutch that's okay cuz
TP's coming up yeah they're gonna swap again it's good I think I think it's
good it's crazy BLG can run from Drake to Grubbs and started as criminal
They're a bit late, but Elioya is going over the wall. Aria has no ult, Frescauia has TP. They should get two grubs here, man.
It's Frescauia gonna TP to that tower or what? Hello!
Is he gonna TP? Is he? Alvaro is just gonna die in here, guys.
Oh, Vyno flash!
That's a good kill!
Hey, Syngos coming, Syngos coming, Syngos coming!
Just slow it down, slow it down, Sinja carries here!
Knocked Flash away from...
SINJA CARRIES NEESON!
CALLON!
BLT are playing so greedy, what is that?
No ariels?
Vi no Flash, just fights?
Sinja didn't carry that, yes she did, this was almost good.
But if they kept fighting me, I would kill everyone.
Mdk so far in this game which in the context of everything that we have seen from them both in play and say in this year
It's not where you come on Superstar day is no flash on Elkie. You think of a super
No barrier either
Wait, they have a good map state. Look at both wave. It's pushing into them
Midley seems even they're top push as well. I've already getting a lot of goals here
That's some vision as Elioya makes his way up to secure the scuttle crab
It's a tense affair as mdk performing better than expected here in the other game super now a bit of danger
That's be careful pro act like rock jumping out doesn't want to risk
Wait, I'm trying to get a buffer with so much cc present on the rail Alvaro is only level three a little bit awkward
Not gonna hurt too much however as all you get grabs and scuttle crab taking a look at the gold still very close
Only two grubs picked up by mdk for the threshold that both teams are gonna be looking for in the next spawn in about three minutes
So for now a bit of calm across alvoro is level three. He's level four soon though. Yes, it's still very much favorite night
Fresco is kind of even though. We take that
It's BLG teamfighting where it's gonna get a bit sketchy
Mad need to make sure they're locked in for five. Don't fucking sleep on those numbers disadvantageous
They'll snap an engage on you quick teams looking to try and farm up as close as they can to that first core item
Wanting to secure level 6 is vision topside is great. We could map towards
The older BLG has is a little bit of vision for now
All night side step
Night side step the charm that the pushback sorry
This is what I was worried about
There's no both room in that they got it on the level one
They weren't able to punish it the first time around but this time they make it look clean night now
Now we'll secure the level 8 and as well get his first kill of the game.
Are we diving top here?
Are we diving top here?
RSTP timer but she zoomed so she can't actually see me now.
If they can mark up Elioia perhaps a way for him to escape.
Backing away now for the additional movements.
Oh the threshold!
El's just a build up but on nice here.
Great play.
Great play, great play.
Free access now to the place on the top side.
The Skyway struggling in mid but Elioia making a smart choice.
I'm just going to play towards where I know we have a strength.
Super's getting great trades. It's huge. What the fuck's going on? They're actually like doing well
Nearing respects the cross map
Super doesn't have demolitions fine
to punish their opponents but so far both teams being proactive on the sidelines
pretty even trades just keep it up keep it up man keep it up keep it up keep
the productivity up Tristana Alistar scarner wherever they go is the map is
run by that Mount Drake always a bit nerve-racking second grub spooling their
prioritizing over Drake I mean they have Tristana right so I guess that's what their logic is
get some plates on her they have TP on the
So much when you add anyone else to make it gets more and more chaotic
Oh, you're the only person on map to complete an item thus far will help them out a little bit at least when he has ultimate available Zeke's
Very cheap early purchase, but wait it's actually better for first Cali that he's scuttle crabs are in the clear outs in those vision is
Little weed side, but he's keeping it. I always talk potential grub spawn
I mean it looks like it became
Did just
Okay, we can't be doing that flash and he just flashed. We can't be doing that when Kai says no flash
Okay, it's okay
I feel like BLT just gonna come from drake the grubs and fight on me. I feel like that's such a BLT thing to do
For Dragon spawn but ways killed that dragon pretty cool. That's flash
They want to contest this objective
They'll be ready on the TV
Not bad no, that's not bad
That's one for one
And they got the grubs, they have five grubs
Don't die Superstar
Hey, beam, what's beam doing?
You can't really afford to make any gambles here, but he really needs some XP is on takes over to six
We have TP just take the base
Differences and the smallest margins of course just a little bit XP here giving on that level six allowing them to start the fight
Credit really tell yo yo and mirror one for just getting in there
Press galley has so much cc from his allies it allows him to connect a lot of those
Easy skill shots the dark sphere into this cat of the week and now doing pretty well on the stacks
approaching the second ability upgrade notice now that the gold shift has gone
over towards them he's been farming well he's been picking up plates and even
though me when finds himself with not bad it's not one you know but they're
even right the drake situation is gonna be tough three minutes they have to
fight the infernal soul point he was in he finds himself in a comfortable
spot big advantage we really see is for super who's getting close to us guys
guys don't let them walk up like that yeah fight them super to trade back
Oh my god, the knockback's not bad. Nice Alvaro, we're playing ping pong with Ari!
You got a good ult for me there, yo-yo!
Oh my god, it's Elk's movement, it's 2-3.
Oh, nice! Nice, you bastard! That barrier was crushed!
Wait, why did he die at the static shift?
He died at the static shift?
players leveraging their mobility to the fullest and they're able to find three
kills even if they started that big onto Alvaro very well played from them
they get a bunch of plates into mid they just made fun of us we look back at
this fight again no level six for Alvaro yeah that's hard for you down an
xp if you have six here he could cook but they knock back Ari twice which was
good on tonight to keep him at distance yo-yo goes in with the old look at
elks movements here oh my god and then he w flashes on the super and then
kills Elioa and static ship kills Tristana. Oh my god static ship is OP!
Mods the same as static ship for World of Moms.
Gods.
As long as the knight doesn't buy magi's we're fine.
Good macro, we got first blood tower.
We have 5 grubs so we pass there.
Superstar! Superstar!
Superstar! Superstar!
What? So no kill out to Elk?
Wait, that's massive. We got first but tower as well.
That's crazy.
Wait, the chem broke. Fuck!
Where's the chem at?
teams overall but team is built to make pics they're so good at finding these
creative angles as a team you highlighted in the draft their target selection is so
good as well and you can see for mdk from these team fights BLG so much more
comfortable weaving in and out of the fight playing on the edge finding these
small advantages and mdk not only are they gonna struggle in terms of gold
deficit here comes the sole point quite as quick to collapse on those
opportunities I mean they're also just good at setting up that sideways that
Super. The Rify combo. The single target.
They need to be careful for us.
TP play bot, TP play, TP play.
Are they trying to TP on bean?
Guys they're heralding mid, I don't-
Why are we going for B? They're gonna get three towers made!
Oh god.
Oh my god.
It's a horror, it's a horror.
Just, I can tell you it's a horror.
Yep.
Here comes another tower pop.
Bro, we're still going.
They will at least try to get that, but on us now here as well, Ben will finally fall, but BLG...
Now, if Syndra TP's gonna defend top tier 2, RETP's gonna fight the drake.
It's come C, it's come C. You know what I'm saying? So they're just gonna get top tier 2.
Cos Ante Basin goes top. If he goes top with no TP, we also lose drake.
Ah, hell nah.
He's gonna try and TP out on Syndra and get cancelled. Now he's not gonna TP out on C5.
That's one TV play bot just lost the map.
You can't do that against an MLG, they're just gonna make fun of you with heralds.
Yeah, game's a horror. Now they get soul points.
Why are we doing that? Why are we doing that?
What just happened on the map?
Am I really going to go 0-1 already on shirts?
What is this guy writing?
E-U brain so bad.
Your name is Donkey Punch.
Shut up!
Donkey Punch is his name just with the letters reversed and it says E-U brain.
Shut up!
he did because very often high-level League of Legends, it's trade for trade, hopefully
you're trading up in these circumstances.
But Binge has basically made that the worst trade deal ever for MDK by taking so much
time.
I'm ensuring that there were more follow-up plays and now, MDK, I mean, we've got good
frontline, but, um, enemy teams playmaking on single targets is too high, RE5 locks
down anyone.
And if we don't block all of it, then, I mean, the LG are just doing a really
good job of managing their side lanes.
Like, you can see it in terms of the acclimatization of both players, and the LG at night and
I mean, we have senior Tp, we could try and fight.
And now they set their sights on the top tier too, they're just meticulously tearing apart
what control MbK have, and even though there's deep vision on the side of MbK, their own jungle
is very dark and full of terrors.
Yeah, and beautifully highlighted by our observers just to show how little MbK see right now.
And they're fine, just letting this Syndra push in bot lane, they don't care.
They're really not worried about it, they're happy to play the 4-1.
Mio and Doohan are going to clear out the wave, but it's not clear enough as
Yeah, we defended the Nagon wave.
Oh, there it is.
They just find one angle for it instead of...
Night Aries, one of his best champs.
me that that's even the risky path right I mean this is the thing that the
pressure that BLG put down but it's exactly what that comp wants to do it's
completely lost he's gonna buy magi's in the second smite of that sucker are they
gonna go Baron on spawn? no they're not okay surely he'll survive magi's on base right?
don't do it nice we're not that bad come on don't buy magi's they will never know
tower and you can see now how much control you always buy some guys on
Ari that day he's addicted to it
looking a little one-sided unsurprisingly of course there are situations
where you know 4k gold leak doesn't feel insurmountable it is two fully
completed items for both 80 carries and that's two minutes 30 seconds on a
soul with Ari Vi but those are the big breakpoints the full completed items
but we lasted like 12 minutes that's not bad super at least getting a bit of
here down on the on and overall the angles of attack here for mdk becoming
more and more limited mirror at least has a bit of a flank will be spotted on
that control ward crucially they want to go for the collapse here and stick charm
everyone probably has to all have to save you but the layering of CC is flawless
from BLG good vision coverage just my bag of sand I guess I mean they're just
finding pics on everyone doesn't even get an opportunity on sidelane the
on tier 2's
it's crazy
if you see a map where they have pressure on both sides
you know the game's lost
if they can force baron and hit your bot tier 2 at the same time
you're in a lose lose
always
and they get both and they get a good fight
and they're gonna wipe us
oh fresco is cooking
bye guys maybe
what that seems like open no damage
he just healed him
Okay, and what?
Come on, bro!
Locked down focused up and destroyed BLG win another one-sided team fight with the Baron to boot
Keep your eyes on this night. Just kind of chipping away the health bars. The ultimate
Elk's vision is great. Nice Q flash, Malvul through the vision
Forced him out, but the barrier doesn't kill, 10% of the flash
He takes the damage at the very least trying to get something back
It's a bird in library it is!
Navigating his way around the stun means that he's able to get that kill
Superb is shut down
Leap comes
They dominate the fight certainly do and those situations
Are you kind of where you know you're getting out class a little bit when the gnar is mad even fight the soul takes a tower
And then in leisurely time shows up to fight with an advantage
The game is not going well for you and I think I'm a dice that read
Given the tools that they have yes if they can stall then get more items on super things might I knew we would do that
easier, but there's a kaisa re vi and if any piece of cc hit super it is so hard for them to peel for their
a carry
The most impressive thing to me about this game is it felt like the bill you just had no wasted movements
You know every time they reset back out onto the map
They were doing something productive and they were getting small advantages every single time and it was just such a
Now
now coming in from the buy front scouting lower and lower trying to get a kill in this team fight
and i'm happy
i've been still standing all the way for a scouting but then it's still alive
he just keeps hitting he's walking away that tiny urtle adding insult to the injury as blg
again just wipe the fight mdk look at these angles of fire last desperate moves with the
unplayable game unplayable night is 9 0 7 it's complete domination a 5 13 12 13 minutes
It was fine. And then it wasn't fine. It was not very ex-CVF for that.
He has 23 stacks on the Jais in 23 minutes after buying it a minute ago.
And they're playing it clinically as well. They're gonna base and go to drake.
And he just bought the full Morello like he's just enjoying his life, man.
It's like... This was third seed versus first seed.
It was expected to be a loss.
Like this is what G2 vs Wabble would have looked like right then.
It goes first B vs fourth B.
I can see the LPL fight in the chat.
You were all talks 15 minutes ago
He's fucking salty
When's our turn then if it's a turn base game, it's my turn
Rapidly going to fall behind me when grouping so much finding kills, but it was been farming on a sideline always trading up
Just that tiny bit. Oh the early lead that mdk found just did not mean anything
We just got question mark pinged by night
Find a stun maybe converted into something but the pressure is continuing them out
They don't have that top wave
Hey
3 lanes right now. M2K have to commit so much just to get close. Scatter the week really, they're only long range.
You know, engage tool. Other than...
Why is BLG playing so clean? What if we're all 3 inhibs? Infernal soul, sinking waves.
No engage, chipping them away. What is this guys?
Slow controlled finish coming in from BLG. Just taking their time.
Knowing they don't really need to force anything.
Why is it so serious? What is it? Worlds?
I know that there's a world where they could throw. I mean it would have to be quite a creature.
But even so come on throw jump in dive our nexus die. Hey
There's the play
Yeah
Well, at least it's off 16 minutes 47 am I right?
It's 26 minutes 47.
Hey, 10 minutes later the gap is shortening.
Alright Chad, next up we got T1 vs Top Esports.
That should be a close one.
That should be a big one.
What is T1's form?
We need to know.
Let me change my T1.
Game one, we're gonna send things over to the analyst desk immediately
What do you think of my drone T1 Jersey channel? I drew that then. I drew that things I learned they
Are so clean no because for the first five minutes this game was looking actually pretty scary for them
And it's crazy worlds pro games done five minutes break bang next game
There's an audio delay refresh your stream
Yeah, we're setting up for the interview, but I think some takeaways can all also be
I mean, you know it's gonna happen.
We did as well. You and I were just sat here. That's an Auri.
Now, we saw Vi first pick. We see a Syndra.
And I think I was a bit disappointed in the way that MGK answered a first pick Vi,
because by going Auri, you're just putting Fresco in a bad position.
He's never gonna have a good time.
The 2v2 with level 6 from Asgona and Syndra is not gonna give you that...
It's team one time, baby!
...that they had to get ahead from the early game.
And they did to a certain degree, but I think...
I love you, good level one, where everyone's just burning their summoners
and then obviously making them from the early game where they just go back.
You actually wanted it, it became really unplayable at a certain point in the game.
The drafts will be a big topic, and it's big enough big, it's big enough big numbers.
Knight's RE records, 51 and 9.
You want a 9?
Yes, it's insane.
That's half of what I like.
Because they went for the Vi and completely said, Skarner, OP, Syndra, OP, we don't care, we're getting the boy, the RE, and we're supporting it with the Vi, and we're bullying side lanes, they performed off of it, but I don't think it's going to be the standard one.
He won Verzi? No, I'm not forced to jersey going.
BLT loves those kind of dice.
Talk to me, Bean. Talk to me.
I can hear someone making a lobby.
Before taking on Mad Alliance, you said, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's be careful.
I can hear someone making a lobby.
So what was your understanding of Mad Alliance?
And also, can you explain the first 10 minutes of the game?
First of all, congratulations on your victory in the Riga.
Say we played really well for 10 minutes.
But what I want to ask is, before this game, you mentioned that you can't be clear about the entire team,
so I also want to ask you about how you understand the team.
What happened in the previous 10 minutes of this game?
We thought they would play us in a different way.
But this game is the same as we thought.
But when we were playing in the next month, we were in a different situation.
The game was a bit difficult.
predicted but maybe the issue happened around the ball lane tower dive because
we played so messy around there so it's kind of put ourselves in a disadvantage
so it's kind of like warm your bill off. They were warming up that's it. They were warming up. That's why.
One thing that is always short with you is the confidence that you have coming
into the international stage. You keep on saying that you're the best top
laner in the world but I want you to give me specifics as what makes you
the baits are playing in the wall.
How much did you stand out?
Did you see fake coach up in the background?
Fake coach?
So, we need to be more aware of our own abilities and make ourselves stronger.
I believe that confidence is from your own ability.
Without your own ability, home is no matter what confidence you have, it's still useless.
So, what I really need to do is try my best to hold this confidence
and also put this as a motivation to become even more stronger in the future.
Some wise words here.
And I'm going to leave you the final words here on this interview actually.
Actually, it would not be a been world's interview without a special message from you in English if you want to talk to the fans
Now to hold your time to give our bingo
We always feel if I don't let you speak English, it doesn't seem to be a bingo
It's a interview, so there's nothing to say to all the audience who said that in English
Thank you
Ah, yeah!
Thank you so much, Ben. Amazing interview.
Wendy, thank you so much for the help.
Amazing to have you back.
And that's all for us here on the side of the stage.
We'll be right back for game two.

Oh yeah, should do hashtag giveaway
Uh, X-Mesh Mark giveaway on stream name
Na na na na na
I'll go to the steams cause it's easy
Someone keeps saying, why don't you have the official show to the teams?
Because all the teams send the jerseys to my...
Where I live in Berlin
But I didn't go to Berlin, I'm in London
So I don't have the jerseys
They're not here so I can make them with my pens my sharpies, okay?
That's why I went down and bought all these sharpies, okay? I made them. I can't get them here in one day
It's impossible go there and come back
What?
What do you go there and come back there?
The YouTube's gonna have a select few series every day. It's not gonna have every series
I can't put every see every series on YouTube. It's too much
And then release dates are too long at you too late
So I'll just keep updated with different things
Alright, this game's gonna be a big one, Chad. Toppiesports T1. What is T1's form? What is it?
Is it good? Is it bad? An example of G2 versus pain gaming? I am actually excited.
I'm actually excited. If T1 loses, my jersey win rate is trash.
Go straight into draft. Jump in. Jump into the player walkout straight away. Go.
Jump in.
One game under our belts that M.D.K. will want to forget very quickly and I surely hope that our next one
T1 versus TES will have a different gold graph perhaps a bit of a closer gold graph
That would be nice, but what a matchup immediately. We get our very first LCK versus LPL bout.
We do and it's T1 as well and we remember T1 from the world championship
We do have to say that they are definitely a different
French quality team now that they were then but they do have that muscle memory
right you never know if they're gonna be able to pull it back yeah but it's kind
of crazy because even when I posted on way well no one has fate everyone's
looking at t1 simply because of the fact that world gets to the boys that's my
rent my rent last month to LNG they took down JD, they took away but they did and it is still the same
roster they is in the top lane, Odin the middle lane, Faker in the mid lane,
and bot lane of Gumiusha and Kariya they are the defending world champion
Why is Kuma's photo like his hair is flying?
To Yan
Why did he say Chiye?
Chiye is the mid-laner of WE Old School, he's our coach
So that's that's that we already talked about it. I already kind of slipped it in there
But that's the talk that's it for the the Chinese fans the LPL fans
They look at T1 and said you literally just aced us at worlds to get here
It's insane
I will say the LPL fans are really scared of T1 because they always beat LPL
But if LPL was to beat T1 in round one, I think the Chinese fans would be like hold up
Is there are eight world champions in this matchup?
Eight world champions what Jack-O-Lan may go to and TNF course
No, it absolutely is and I think that's why you can never really count any of these two teams out because despite having a poll
That's my say from the T1 side
They're coming into this as a world championship where they've had a rough time when they came in last year and still they won the world
Championship, I will say I think this one is different because last year fakers about he came in
He had a little break that was not the case this time
He just struggled in general and I think coming into a world championship where the medicine can still have hope for faker because he is faker
Remove the jersey I'm begging you looking to rely on when you need experience
Yeah, never place under top four at world specifically and I think when you Hawken back to last year jet
It is because even then T1 wasn't the team you would have picked out of the LCK to win
In fact
Into those trust me trust me
Those final two matches rather so we know that they can turn it around the problem is how much do they have to turn
Around here talk to me about how worried we are and what is it that we're worried about out of there summer performance
So what is that thing around trucks wrists?
I thought that's called the gold thing.
It's not a bracelet, what is it?
Dominates early laning phase, then dies on his own.
Faker's laning phase is probably the weakest it's been,
and I don't even really remember a time
when it was weaker than this.
Yeah.
Bangal, what is that?
Their plarmor is so damn thick last year.
I don't know how thick it's going to be this year.
I mean it was thick when they went up against KT
and somehow managed to get through.
That was insane.
And yes, the early lanes for him,
I remember the Caitlyn games, the Tristana games.
I hope the crowd is loud for this game.
So when you saw that...
Did we hear the crowd much last game?
I don't think we did right, only after the game.
Like, Mages entirely, maybe that changes it all for them,
but you are right about Team Cohesion.
They are a lesser some of their parts,
they are so good individually.
They just need to get together.
But I am extremely worried about them going up against top Esports,
because I think it's not just all these things you're talking about.
Right, their laning phase can be solid though, right?
Keria and Gumi Ushie is one of the best 2v2 bot lanes
when they get to play 2v2.
Hasn't happened that much this year because of lane swaps.
You know a team that was very good at pioneering lane swaps and the LPL?
Top Esports! They've been loving moving around in the early game on the map.
Having Seyos versus 3609 is not so much going to be a lane matchup.
It's going to be an understanding of playing the swaps.
Seyos doesn't get to show why he's playing the best top laner.
Yes, he does. Seyos is the go-to.
So I think, yes, I'm actually more happy about Chaker on this patch.
And less happy about Cream on this patch.
But I still think coming into this and on paper, Top Esports are favorites.
And I like that you talked about the top lane matchup
and that there's also our featured matchup presented by Mercedes-Benz
featuring 369 and Zeus.
Can you set 369 chat?
In the first featured matchup presented by Mercedes-Benz at the first stage
we have one hell of a face-off.
369 versus Zeus in the top lane.
Top Esports versus T1.
The right boy.
369 has proven himself to be one of the best top laners in the world.
But for top e-sports to step out of the shadow of BLG, they'll need to dominate at Worlds.
Feeding the reigning champs would set the tone for their tournament run.
Zayus is no stranger to this matchup and has bested 3-6-9 more than once.
Who would T1 barely qualify into the World Stage? Do they have what it takes to replicate their 2023 success?
I think on the back they practice some space with a shockwave, it's clean!
And it comes the curtain call!
Chat with them with DPM on the website, you can see the head to heads.
It's 11-6 in favour of Zeus.
A lot of rumble in Reddick's and in Atroc's.
Damn.
Who will draw first blood in the Swiss stage of Worlds 2024?
It's not even a hashtag ad, I'm just saying.
It's there.
We'll see exactly who will draw first blood, and it's such a...
Oh it's such a loaded matchup in so many...
up and in so many ways do you want to do predictions because I feel like this one
really deserves it. I think it merits it. I'm down. Predictions? Who's starting? Well I can
start and I mean so it's T1 as worlds right I always have to give them the
credit because of how they've been historic here. I normally hate historic
and I lost this but with T1 they get the pass but I will say as well if I'm
not saying Top Esports wins this I am not doing them the respect they deserve
from the domestic season they had. I mean you normally see them as
chokers I don't think they're gonna do that this time I think they're
gonna win this one it's 1-0 for top eSports for me. I'm a big believer in
plot armor. Oh my god. I know that's like the biggest cop on answer but this is
decidedly different than what your summer split was. In the last like five world
championships when is the favorite, the actual favorites of the tournament ever
actually won? Yeah. So T1 is actually primed to make that improvement run. We'll
see if they do it. I think it will start here. I just can't bet against
Faker at Worlds. And I'm gonna bet against Faker at Worlds. I think it's gonna be top
top eSports predictions are flying in. I just think the meta shift is great for T1 and it's not the best for top eSports.
So I think it'll be a close match. Objectively, I think T1 should win.
Tien had an incredible season.
Yeah, exactly. But at the end of the day, people remember you for like your moments, the biggest moments.
the day when they lost away bow those type of things and so I'm still gonna
give it he's that he's the work of the predecessor of the shy what is it the
following the next one the next coming up that I like the next follower I don't
know the letters defending world he's that he turned out guy he's of the shy
crazy also did better than the team they're directly playing against now it's
been a while yes you know this is the first game of Swiss you know when it
It comes to that storytelling around TES, it's also, I make log lands for every team
and for me this one is when you want them to show up the most they show up the least
but this is the first best of one, they shouldn't be that stressed, you know, they have another
one tomorrow, they have a couple of last three, and we know the quality of TES, I think
you just have to close that guy with the performance, you want to send him a start
to get your answer right, Jack.
I hope so.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
I just, I'm really looking forward to getting this game right.
I feel like all the Chinese fans probably want them to beat T-Water already, come
on guys.
even though we have the doubt the confidence should be there the experience
is certainly there's such a good bot lane duo so that's a matchup I'm looking
forward to seeing them versus Karrion Guma. We have a little bit more time
apparently I've been informed so if you want to talk a little bit about those
bot lanes let's do it I think Goldberg already brought it up the way Guma
and Karrion like to play and own is sadly not the way that the games being
played right now in the bot lane. Yeah I mean there is gonna be some
exploring period but the fact that MF like Ash, Jin, these champions are the
types to I guess if the expected picks for worlds it's not really what you're
expecting you know T1 to really be performing on but I still have a lot
of faith in fact Guma is like a second jungler on the team with how many times
he steals, barons and dragons and his various pick and they make it work and
how creative Karrie is as a player so I'm expecting something to come up
some time to be cooked up in the draft so I would say never count them out
And I do think Guma is such a damn good player that he can work with any champion any meta
But but that like I don't mean I'm hoping that it's not just draft echo
I'm hoping that either for T1. I really want to see from them
So look at the time that is either we've become really good that lane swaps if you've adapted to what is currently meta
All you have then found out a style that's gonna break lane swaps that other teams are currently not doing right?
And I was speaking to Orcs about this and coincidentally Emily was also talking to it with Kelsey
But it's one of those things where I'm hoping that they found a way where they can trade plates down in that bot lane
And find a way to get dooma in a position where he gets so full of gold in the early game that they could then after rotate him around
The map I'm really curious to see if they're bringing a different strategy to lane sobs that might define
Or maybe I'm just overreacting and giving them more price than maybe they should be but I'm really hoping that they're bringing something out
That's gonna make them have a chance to stop the game. I mean on that note
I think we will be tracking lane sobs throughout the stage
I think in game one we saw
And they stacked a wave and they tried to dive with four people
I don't think T1's the type of team that should try to dive and I think the adaptation that I want to see next is the team that gets swapped on
Shouldn't try and dive. They should just collect plates
I've seen these dives go wrong so many times because teams have gotten extremely good at getting level two on a support or level three on a
Top lane
It's almost impossible to dive but the plates are so much weaker than they were before the last set of nurse and buffs and the
top lane plates are so much stronger. I think that's actually the plate. Just collect your
320 gold advantage on your AD carry and move on. I think that's actually, I don't want to
see too much.
One of those things, if you put too many members down, then there's too much gold being shared
as well. So I really wonder if it's like a two man situation with a snack wave where
they put more than just getting two plates with double demolish, triple demolish maybe.
You stack it until the cannon wave is ready to crash. You crash that huge wave in,
you let the top laner clear as fast as can, but in that time with just two people
you can take at least two plates.
It makes me sad. I'm gonna tell you. It makes me sad. It makes me so sad. You know why? Because one of the X-Factor's of T1 or Splash here does carry a heavy Toyota brakes left.
And carry up can be the one that says that. He needs to make sure he doesn't go toilet.
Change the meta myself. I'm actually gonna make you play different and make you play different things.
I just don't see the opening currently in the meta. And you know maybe time will tell of course. But that is like a huge X-Factor for T1.
Yeah, it was the next factor during MSI when swaps were happening and T1 was the team that was getting swapped on when they were trying to pick Vayne and Camille.
And thankfully for them throughout that tournament, they got a little better and they were able to still play those insane picks.
The problem for me when I look at top lane, is I think that 369 is a phenomenal week that I top lane and a lot of times if he's put in a swap position, he's pretty much happy about it.
about it. I think for the side of Zeus, the fact that he is so damn talented and he's going to get
those leads early. He's first and early like the gold difference at eight minutes in the LCK, like
he will get an early lead. The problem is the solo death that will happen to me later is especially
in a long lane. So if you're first at that and you're second at the death, like I think we
just need to see from T1 a lot more consistency in the mid game. If it's going to be a swap,
no matter what, if it's going to be a longer lane, your best player kind of has to be a little
a little bit more consistent.
It's this 100th game, it's international game.
Oh, yeah.
Zeus, I hear.
No, damn.
It's 100th international game?
Wow, that's crazy.
No, I mean the craziest thing about this
already one roster is Zeus is actually
like the newest addition to that roster.
Yeah.
Owner, Faker, Gu Makaria,
they were a world's finalists 2021.
Oh, wow.
It was a long time.
Right, so they've had this ridiculous run together
and I know you're getting up to an under delay.
No.
It's Faker restarting this PC again.
No, it's just asking another question.
I'd love to know what it is though
But sometimes we can't say it, you know, sometimes we can't share but I don't mind
I love that he said he does have to restart his PC. I think it is
I mean we talk about
It's up and he's looking that much. I mean eyes open you hear like an enemy sound you can go for an oria or cindra
It's more of his comfort zone, but we haven't talked about cream at all. He's a rookie on the world stage or a world's rookie
We should say we need to that technicality
And it's always a hard matchup usually versus faker
I think he's done a great job talking about cream in terms of adapting in the 80 carry meta mid lane
But he has been his bread and butter has been in the Akali. I think he has an exceptional
Yone. Yeah, we might get cream Akali mid this game
And I think if he is so good at that he should be happy with this meta if you're gonna be going up against
Do something. What do I do?
So it's a flight to Berlin.
Just being able to now.
Knock them in and fly back.
What are you on about?
An assassin counter.
What am I supposed to do?
I think that works well for Kream.
So that's a great note, because I think for somebody
as good as he is.
Come on.
To have a pretty poor performance outside
and wants to be able to prove himself
on an international level.
His carry on the toilet is great.
I swear, his carry is on the toilet and they're delaying
because he was so good during the regular season.
Is a great way to prove it to the international audience.
I mean, he has the best supporting cast ever.
When you look at them, they have all these champions
from these different eras, of course,
Jacky Love from 2018, Tien from 2019,
Mako from 2021, and then 369, of course, 2023.
Rekkles is in the studio.
In terms of kind of what you have around you.
He's gonna be backstage.
You should be so comfortable,
and that is where sometimes it is where
it disappoints people the most,
because that is all the quality you have on that roster.
And then when it's about to hit midnight,
you turn back into a pumpkin.
That's the point, right?
But if there's one of those things where it's like,
This sounds like the most consistent roster you can have and it's not!
That's like one of the things.
I do hope that they're able to show the domestic performance that they had in the LPL because
if you only watch internationals, you'll probably expect that.
Also if you watch the LPL sometimes.
Yeah, I mean true but they have so many games, right?
But I think for most of the part, their games this season has been defined as very, very good.
I am more worried about TN now going into a matchup now where there's maybe less of these AP junglers
But we're gonna have more delay. I wonder what it is. What is it?
Is it technically over? Normally they put it here.
Maybe over sending it a little bit. Historically, his vehicle has been through the year.
They haven't put it in any.
But I think this first game has to be such a statement game from both teams.
For T1, because they have to cement themselves like they're not just what they saw domestically.
And for top esports is, we are exactly what you saw domestically and we can be better.
So this first game is such a statement game for both of these teams.
And to the point, and I expect that...
Someone's gonna turn it back and see it.
these parts brought in Mako was the fact that he was going to be the babysitter
wrangling people in and sure it hasn't happened so much he would just put
tech issue right from EDG and all that where he's like stop no no pull back
that's a one fight already so I'm expecting a little bit more of that
yeah since we still have a little bit of time I think we've kind of exhausted
all the what-ifs right before we actually see this game playing out so I want
to zoom out a little bit if we can because this game is really emblematic
of what world is emblematic?
Is that a word?
Emblematic!
That's such a cool word!
Yeah.
Emblematic.
Serving as a symbol of a particular quality or concept.
I think to me the most interesting story line of the last, I mean like five or six years
ago, since the last time we've been in Europe when G2 played against FPX and FIDOS in 2019,
that moment it's only been lck and lpl teams and the finals and I think they're
right on a music that's how long the pulse has been so I'm put some beats on
for t1 I can spit it out would be it wouldn't even create looks like we
would have we would have had last year two I mean yeah teams would we're at
just last two years we've had two lpl teams and MSI finals right and then all
four lpl teams made it at a group stage three quarters of them made it
into the semi-finals, yet T1, as you mentioned,
based them out worlds.
T1 is Hodor!
T1 is Hodor!
No!
Hodor!
No!
Hodor!
Hodor!
No!
Hodor!
Hodor!
Hodor!
Hodor!
Hodor!
Hodor!
Hodor!
Hodor!
Hodor!
Hodor!
you winning this MSI but like what's after this game is it for like that one was after this game
with what T1 pulled off last year at worlds to really flip the narrative yeah and it's interesting
because as you say it never goes the way you think it's going to go based on pre tournament
expectations very very rarely we just have to bring up drx or T1 to prove that point exactly
and that is what always excites me at worlds and that is also what excites me if LPL is
is going to make this this this rush for the world championship again maybe it
isn't BLG maybe it is TES you don't know
I'm trying to start
literally every year there's a team that usurps those expectations 24 every time
we think there's no shot that Gen G is not gonna make it to the finals and then
they get to like this time I believe I believe it's an ad
Because they're the MSI champions, they already took over first.
Okay, but the counterpoint to this, right, when JDG came into that world championship,
you thought as well that this was just going to be their golden road.
No!
I was so impressed!
You know what I'm saying?
JDG at that time.
So I know it's like one of those things where we're looking at BLG, we're looking at
GenG, but you can't forget that there's been exactly like this in the past as
well, MSI title or not.
But they're not on a golden road.
Exactly.
No stress.
That's fair enough.
If you don't know, get into the next season, go and do it.
Go do it.
I dare you.
GenG, I'm like, all my life, I already took them out.
Yeah?
2G1 when they went up against them in 2022 it was a Zeke
So like there's always going to be like a question of like who does the best on the meta
And which team just gels the most and actually is able to go throughout the first game
Chat, should I just run the ads now? I'm scared the game starts though
I normally do them after drafts but I couldn't do them now so you can watch the whole drafting game
I'm scared if I run them the game starts
I think that's a pretty fat one as well
Yeah, also I'm a peanut fan
Are they? Is T1 even a dark horse?
Is T1 too bright to be...
Okay, I'll do them now because there's a lot of yapping
You can sub a tier on a prime to avoid these ads.
You don't have to sub a tier 1 tier, you'll be back for the game.
So if you sub now, you won't get ads for the whole world.
I'll see you in a sec.
If I run them now, you can watch the whole drafting game without any ads.
And it's much easier, I think.
It's probably much easier.
But if they toss a delay, in fact,
everyone will know what's going on.
So since we have...
We've talked about the tournament's favorites.
Fine, now we can go a bit lower.
Let's talk about NA vs EU.
NA vs EU?
Let's talk about team liquid
Team liquid. Yeah, okay
Raz we're gonna have different opinions. Oh my god. Okay. Go for it. Do it
Here's the weird thing with me about team liquid. Okay as some people are tuning in right now
They're like, why are we talking about it again? I'm ready for this anyway. Uh
They are a team that can definitely make it to quarters. I think yeah, I think they definitely have that potential
But I want to set reasonable expectations
agreement
We talked about at the top of the show like what could change at worlds that might change how you feel about this team coming in
And I feel like they had healthy bro
How are we on the team liquid Copa on what they were able to do?
That's those being two games being one of the best lane swap teams in the world
Yep, and then I feel like APA had really mastered the carry pool with the way that he's able to collect gold on
Sidelanes, but I feel like if we switch to this Ari
Cindra LeBlanc type mid, mid-mid, mid-mid, that's really cool I think. I think on top
8 best of 5 it's gonna be PogChampion. And I think even if lane swapping still happens
I think it's effectiveness is diminished based on the nerfs that they've actually given.
So they're gonna be like, if they were here, they're there, but they're still pretty good.
Okay, you know what that's a small difference. So like, overall I do think the questions
around APA's champion pool, even though at the very top of show I put that question out there.
Like he started his career off of what? Ziggs, Aurelian Soul, he even played Syndra of course
at the Last Worlds. Like he has mages in his pool and I think something that Team Liquid does
really well is being able to play through silence and even if he's on those more diminished
picks for him he's going to be able to support them. So I think from the TL side I'm happy,
FlyQuest side I'm confident. Wait, yeah, but why the TL? European side not so confident.
I'm kidding.
That series was actually...
We don't need your trust.
I mean, that series was just...
I think Black Quest 1, that series was inspired.
Chad, I want to hear Broke and Big Left.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I can start with controlling the game.
He was able to switch to different meta, like mid playoffs,
being able to switch between a supportive style with Ivern
or a hard carry style with any of the Power Farmers.
He was incredible in that tournament.
I love watching the inspired play,
and I love watching inspired talk and new interviews.
than that someone else has to come in and be like the nice guy like it's got a good cop bad cop
Yeah, yeah, here's the last thing I'll say about team liquid or fly quest chances or even TES or T1 chances
A lot of it's gonna depend on the draw because it is we know what happened to KT
Oh, yeah, we get the draw at the end of the day. Sorry. Yeah D plus last year
Getting nothing but hard opponents throughout all Swiss yeah, so if you lose this first game sure maybe you're gonna be able to play
some lower tier loser from the first round.
Excuse me?
I wasn't made the names, but a lot of this is going to depend on the draw, so these games
are actually very important.
Any crossing to a break?
We are going to have to take a five minute break, but we will be back after that with
the game.
What's the pause?
What's the pause, Kurt?
No we don't.
Carrier is showing an absolute nuke in the toilet.
What a face.
Bomba.
BOMBA!
Alright, well I guess we're chilling for a bit Chet.
Like I said Chet, if you weren't here, you can go to
KJWorldSkipaway.com
You can win loads of different prizes from signed jerseys to
get sets, PCs, all that stuff.
I don't know, we're in break time, so I'm just going to yap about it then.
I'm just going to yap about it then.
So what in Chet says, load up poker rogue?
The fuck do you mean load up poker rogue?
I'm not loaning a poker road.
Look at this guy's tweeter.
Start the game already.
It's too long between game shocks on a Lolliesports reckless poster.
My guy!
What do you want her to do?
Do you want her to play for them?
Oh yo, gam CEO commented on my tweeter.
He put on the world's tweeter.
He put it's Gantime.
Cool emoji.
It's Gantime.
My Drilla.
Honey.
Okay, T1's sitting up on stage. Anything else happening in the world?
Yes!
Welcome back to Worlds 2024. We are moments away from our second game.
We're lucky now.
A bit of time before our last one, so thank you to everyone who's stuck with us through
a bit of delays here today.
Fettys and myself, for another absolute banger. Love Swiss stage, man.
I mean, day one is like every matchup is good. Not always for the same reasons,
I'll be honest, but this one...
It's good to be home!
Last year at Worlds, it was BLG.
Then it was LNG, and then it was JDG, and then it was Waybo.
T1 have an opportunity to add another name to the list here today as they go up against Top E-Sports.
But perhaps Top E-Sports can be the first of many to get their revenge, because the question coming into this game is...
Why does it say placeholder T-partner?
There's doubt on the side of Top E-Sports, and there's hope and enthusiasm on the side of T1.
But if you close your eyes...
Basically the opposite because top e-sports had an incredible season with Matt Lines winning world T1
Barely limped their way into the world championship, but if you close your very excited to see what these teams are prepared for us today
I'm looking forward to seeing what they've got frozen the draft
What's going to be the priority? What are we going to see in mid lane?
Will we see the king return to his throne in the mid lane because he has been struggling?
Oh, I know as I watch that man play piano with a big old championship
So I feel and this is the problem right this is the T1 aura is that you're just like yeah
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt you're like but all the evidence and you're like I don't need that
I saw him open a lodge dole
I'm not already
Walk out as an emperor throw a k-pop spinus beer around and that might have been animated faker
Which means real faker probably like 10x
Was I mean it is valid right? I think there is always going to be this
Shut up, they're working on it.
They're coming from Slice, they're working on it though.
I don't want to say always going to be skepticism for Toppies,
but I don't think that that is fair to them,
but based on, you know, international performance,
based on even the series that they've lost to G2 at MSI,
there is still that healthy dose of skepticism
when it comes to what really is this team's consistent level,
because we've seen-
Wait, what is this?
Start it!
Start the game already, Sharks!
Start it!
Okay, oh, she's on it.
Start the game!
They're always the best performances just because it seems like they don't always adapt to the meta immediately.
And I love the point that Shox made on the desk because last year it felt like they had a very close series versus Team Liquid.
They almost lost that.
Right? And then they continued on and you thought, okay, they're getting better.
But then they defined the meta.
They were the ones that introduced and changed the bot lane meta.
And were the ones that said, hey everyone, this is what we think the best way to play the game is.
And then everyone was playing catch up to T1 which no one ultimately was able to do.
Come on, get me into the drafts.
Come on.
Oh, wait! I hear some noise.
People are cheering.
It's all about your frickin soul. Yes, right IG they're on so much about that
We'll have to see if the meta does favor T1 and if they can be faster and identifying
What their unique take on it is or what the best version of it is because you're right
Not every tournament for T1 people just remember the ending. They don't always
We need a goobie you she hairstyle check
Our teams take to the stage
Oh, he's got the head on him!
Damn!
Karius is so small!
Why did Zeus go? He went the other way!
And now Karius confused as well!
Oh my god, Zeus, you rat!
but it doesn't matter we're getting ready for the draft we're getting ready for the game
much anticipated matchup and the question on everybody's minds
Faker's in the LEC studio where's my chip let's get ready
what will the priority be game one we saw the guy's x9 dm crispy three jackey love
I love it.
Meiko!
Ratboy!
Oh nah.
Fake uh.
Guma Susie hairstyle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Put it up!
Put it up!
Put it up!
It's just so reliable.
And when you look at these two midlaners, I will say that neither of them feel like
the centerpiece right now of their respective teams.
This could be a game where we're focusing much more on the bottom side.
Maybe my personal hope around the top side of the map Zayas first three six nine
But again if we end up in a situation where based on the first game, it's a mega lot in you know
Nar vs. Cassante. I like Kuma's hairstyle too much jungle involvement
I don't expect it. Don't call me Fukibear
Ziggs, Syndra, Ashe, Aurora, Skanna, buy these more champions to immediately come to our minds
When we think about high priorities in the draft
There's likely gonna be some potential target bands who's one game one the nidalee taken away from aliyoya the jinx taken away from
I'm not your rookie back, but of course
You'll have money data on each other outside of what they saw in terms of the actual
Who gets side selection chef?
Qualification to the world championship
I guess top eSports right because they're higher seed technically
So I guess he wants on red side. That means they can get saved counter pick, poke champ
I'm not sure what they're going to ban.
Sejiwani, Yone, Orianna, interesting.
Yone's been targeted to Creme.
Orianna's been targeted to Teyka, of course.
Tristana ban.
Wow, they're targeting Creme in draft already.
Both of us ban here for Tess Narvan on Jeyus.
I mean, that's one of his best blind picks.
They're going to ban Aurora here.
They're going to invite Skarner.
What are they going to ban?
There's a lot of both of these open.
All you have Zeke's.
So, Vi first picking scutes.
Skarner first pick is good, Aurora first pick is good, Aurora yes.
So T1 have options, they have Vi, Skarner's decision,
Sin Trash open, Taker could play LeBlanc on 3, Ash is open.
Missing me?
Yeah, Aurora is strong.
I think Aurora with Jin Wukong is like really good flavor.
Nice
What is T1 been cooking they've been hiding Niko
Niko
What are they cooking?
What have these motherfuckers been cooking they've been hiding?
It's Niko
It's good into Aurora
I mean, if Keria can play it, Faker can play it.
I've seen a bit of Niko jungle, but I doubt that.
There's the Jhin.
Yeah, Jhin Wukong is amazing with aura.
It keeps the aura flex, and you have insane pick and good teamfight.
Yeah, Skarner Visor too. There is pretty good junglers open. Skarner Vi and Wukong.
I'm gonna make it all renekton blind. Yeah, that makes sense with the Narvan
Yeah, now this is a big pick for T1. Do you match top and keep the Niko flex? That's easy
But what top would he play red boy? Yes, Jace
Cassante
Yeah, yes, Jax
not the D.Go because they don't go and no one goes in there jacks okay
So they're keeping the Niko flex going to be uncounterpicking the top now banning is a bit strange because they get first choice on jungle
on 4th or P1
Unlike a lot of the matches we say this is one where the
I mean they have skarner vi and hooker on three they could try and pinch the pool a little bit in jungle
How strong he is overall but the later we go the scarier and scarier that jacks becomes especially on a side lane
I wonder if T1 will get rid of something like a job and you look at the
The ash is a potential target.
Jarvan Renekton is kinda shit.
I think Tropyban is not bad.
Now they could ban here Top E sports if I was them, they could ban Karius counterpick supports because it's likely that counterpicking supports here.
Jungle 1-3.
And there's 3 junglers open.
Yeah, I think Renekton ban is good. I would ban Bard actually as well.
I would also be careful of Nocturne on 4. Niko Nocturne is a T1 classic. What do you ban? Do you ban Bards? Do you ban Vi, Niko? Do you ban Nocturne, Niko? These are classics, Niko Nocturne for T1.
They also have the Ash flex as well, but I doubt they'll play Ash towards.
Anastar band makes it look like they want Rell on 4.
They have so many options here T1, they have Rell on 4, they have Noxion on 4, they have Vi on 4, they have Bard on 5.
I think this is Nico mid though.
If next down in priority order in terms of popular option for giving back over to come on obviously an incredible Viego player
I guess they could flex tracks jungle as well
But it's weird if they pick Rakan on four. It's weird to pick Rakan on four here
Because they could play Jin rel now
What are they doing they have something here with the Rakan coming down towards the box
Any team can take the rail now, which is pretty easy from the top these boards
I mean, what can they do?
Rell Wukong is good, Rell Skarner is good, Rell Jarvan is good, and actually I don't like Jarvan.
Why didn't they take the Rell?
I would go Skarner if I was Top Esports, this comp looks good.
It's such a powerful jungle as well.
Top Esports draft would be amazing with Skarner.
What is this reach from T1?
a little bit more magic damage on this team do we see a return to old junglers
there's scarner but the tank option always going to be a solid one are they flexing anything here how
can they flex anything jacks can't really go jungle nico can't really go top
for jacks but it will be the priority here it is what's going to be locked in
and five on the previous game a lot of those early scrimmages by nocturne
brook on yeah all good hmm i mean t1's playing a dive comp
especially around those level six fights chat i need to run ads after this draft again
because the fucking break was too long. There's 34 minutes on the ad run. If this goes past 34 minutes, it's gonna run.
So I'll run them quick. If you want to stop to avoid all of them, you can now. You can stop at a tier one on Twitch Prime to avoid the ads.
You don't have to stop if you don't want to be back for the game starts. I appreciate all the sub risk, and I'll see you in a second.
I'm serious. It's 34 minutes. 34 minutes is not enough time. This pause was super long.
They have engage, engage, engage, engage, flank and sideline. T1 has a really good engage comp.
Top Esports have good pick and great team fights.
Engage, follow-up, engage, follow-up, engage, follow-up, range, everything. They have everything.
So T1 have a I'm going in and Top Esports have a bit more options.
T1 have great options.
Sorry, Top Esports have 3 options.
Top Esports have really good options.
T1 are also a bit weak early. I feel like they get pushed in in all three lanes, and their jungle is not that strong early either.
Wombo combo is our composition coming out from T1.
I do think I like, I prefer the comp from T1.
I think they have side lane options.
I think they've got good T-fighting.
The pick potential is there.
But the biggest thing is the range.
Like, do I have your arm?
Jin can have some decent range later on to the game.
He's got a decent amount of hope.
Yeah, the 215K is not real.
When you run ads on Twitch, your viewers go up
and then they go down again for some reason.
I don't know how it works.
It happens to every stream.
So, top esports do have some strength in their games.
Specifically around the top side of the map.
Or they go down and then up again. It's really good odd.
I prefer Top Esports as come.
I feel like Top Esports have better lanes, better early game and more options.
T1 just have me go in, me smork, me fight.
So if they can go in and smork it, then they should be fine.
But...
Enemy team has good disengage. Sheen has good range.
Skarner, Renekton are going to be really tanky if they go Starex.
And Aurora has good escape.
I really did the LPL dirty last year with that run through the World's Bracket, but again, like if you're just an international viewer, if you only, if you're only
Airy, Niko, mid, are they lane-swapping? T1's lane-swapping, wow.
You mean LCK4T? No, we mean LCK4T.
Yes, T1 really struggled this split. They've had a really difficult road to get here, and they just barely made it.
Five games in the regional Bortlet versus KT, that form has not looked spectacular, but it's important to emphasise this because if they do turn things around at the World Championship, we'll be able to show how incredible this team has over five players really is.
During summer, already making some proactive map move with the long topside of 130. Looks like we will be seeing a laneswalk vision to try to spot out who will be coming to potentially catch that wave as the LCK classic.
That's a big disrespect from 369.
Good lane swap.
Top Esports look a little bit dizzy on this swap.
What are they doing?
The 2v2 lane setup which is of course really the else the case special, T1 no strangers to it
So let me gen G, we're really proactive in kind of bringing to the forefront
Makes sense when you're mid laner Shovey to give him a little bit more attention
But the same, you're true about Faker
As he remains a secret Niko
I think just happy to have a kind of better auto attack animation for as long as humanly possible
Faker 12 CS, give me this one
Desperate to try and get level 2 as Zayac and Gumi Ushii hover around the top side of the map
The idea is, and you're going to be seeing a lot of this year's World Championship is
Zayas will get level 2, Rakan has level 2 as well
So here's Rakan level 2 and Zayas can TP bot's classic
I don't think Tess can pull the dive cause 369 doing moves
My T1 are much stronger on this lane swap here
Here comes the Jax TP
Redboy's being really greedy here
But actually, they're giving level 3 the carrier
What is Redboy doing TP?
Why is it taking so long?
I think he wanted to deny the running for more minions.
By staying there longer.
It's fine, they traded flashes.
I think the reason was, that means 3-6-9 can't TP while Zeus is there.
I think he was making him lose a cannon or something.
The flash did have to come out from TN because he got tower aggro by getting up to carrier.
What are we doing here, carrier?
All three through from carrier. The base actually gonna come through from Xeus.
We imagine the same thing is gonna happen from Tumayushi.
Xeus looks a little bit dizzy. He wants to recall and buy.
I say that. Look at the top lane right now. He is just bullying out...
Tumayushi is the top laner. Xeus is the AD carry.
They've decided. This is the way they're gonna win worlds.
Level three now comes through.
Just being zoned away from so much XP. Luckily, as you are, it does have the level three now.
Things will get a little bit easier if you can get on top of Tumayushi.
They need to get Jax back top, but they can't. Ash is bullying Renekton, and Jax can soak XP himself.
3-6-9 has no flash, and he doesn't know where Wukong is, so it's really hard for him to just take minions.
he's in one sort of
you just got double melee charge to the left side
oh yeah
there's Ash in solo lanes for some reason
yeah T1, what they need to do is get Jax to base and get him top
his lupon space, so when he starts to get more pressure
his counter visits and Ash has no flash so she's gonna be forced back
so Jax is gonna catch this wave
he's gonna recall
actually no, is he? Grubbs are spawning in a minute
maybe he just stays here and Rakan goes top
I mean Gumiush needs to base
but he can run out top as well and they can play for Grubbs
We'll see where wherever Ash goes to the other side
Here comes a double base
Yeah, they're gonna send Ash back top. I think it's good on the grub spawn. Also Wukong's clear is up, isn't it?
I think it's correct.
Oh no, it's just been power farming.
I mean, this is the way they can get to the early game, right?
I think otherwise their lanes and jungle situation is not good.
Their lane swap saves a lot of it.
because he was late to the first wave.
A level 5 now for the A.
Oh, you killed my Susie.
Yeah, 369 is upset.
This is his lane opponent.
So Top B sports have to do Drake.
They don't really have a choice.
They need to go to the page check these grubs.
So grubs are getting picked up.
The response, of course, on the opposite side for TES
is to go for this Drake, which makes a lot of sense.
But ultimately, grubs have been
a higher priority for the LCK.
Just for the entire year.
They're so cocky, it's crazy.
It's not surprising to see T1
look for the top side on the Saturday trade.
Now they could dive jacks so jacks is gonna leave the lane
And now they can start hitting top tower with grubs because the sportifications fallen off right
Right boys in mid
Yeah, I think Zeus is doing the correct thing if he's bought just running a boat just run top and hit the tower with them
of the map so I'm not even going to bother sticking around instead I'm going to group up with my team
Thran a potential dive but also he's in a position to catch this wave, he has two plays over to
Gumiushi he can now look to reset path back towards bot if he wants to
I think xp just can be shared between the two of them don't take his farm don't take that cannon
well I think T1 has managed this very patiently very well in terms of the other game
369 in a similar position knows that he can't go to the top side of the map so he's getting
what experience he can they are chipping away at this tower leveraging the strength of the
the grubs the total number of plates exchange so these fours are basing but
they're so much faster because of the grubs they're actually getting a full
top tower normally these laptop circumstances when they're getting a full
top tower oh my god seven minute top tower I mean to be honest I don't want
to glaze but they're lane assignments and macro spin really clean I think
it saves TV bought a little bit earlier would be better but no complaints
members here to the mid lane but overall he won 2,000 gold ahead and their bot
tier one is still two plates. Wow.
Wow.
They don't do anything man. To the tower. They don't have back up either. So not gonna
beat Jack's ash on a tower taking contest.
No, you are not. Now Gumiushi returns to the bot lane. Again, he is a little bit
behind in CS. He's a little bit behind in XP but the gold because he secured that
first tower that's really way of starting to see that discrepancy build up.
Jax has a lot of free time. She could just run and bot and hit the tower with them now if she wants.
They cancel her base twice.
So Jax is just gonna go in and hit the tower once. Didn't take the cannon either. You have to mod us too.
Gives Fager a plate.
I'm gonna hit the tower, get a plate, and then I'm off.
They're gonna kick this man out of the buffet.
He's been eating plates for three hours,
so that's clearly against the rules.
Okay, we know it's all you can eat.
All you can eat is more.
It's a theoretical thing.
I don't want to actually eat all that they can eat, okay?
It tastes like there's a plate, man, I gotta eat it.
Yeah, he gets a big top plate.
He's also in good XP.
It's great timing.
I hope BLG won't waste any time with that map movement.
Sure.
I think you need to get the same.
Ah, it's flawless so far.
2v2 kill in bot.
Oh, the charm interrupts the scarner. The ult should hit though.
Guma's dead.
Because he's dead.
Keria can maybe get out.
And he's dead, he's dead, he's dead, he's dead.
Oh, flashed over you, because he's out. He has E, yeah.
Where have I seen it, man?
Whether it's Varus or Ash, she's playing cocky on that area of bot lane. He'll fight you.
He'll fight you there.
Yeah, there was no point in Jackalob flashing me out here, he would get them on a lot of points.
Cream base in TP's back, Faker spots good mid pressure.
It's the same position as the Varus. Remember the Varus?
Flash is over the rail, so now Jackalob can't flash anywhere.
to lock him down and secure the trade back to kill and if you fall behind in the trade against
the recon ashland the detritus all over she has been farming and farming and farming and farming
there's no real immediate even though scarner has a kill he's same gold so well played but
once they kill them as they re-enter bot tower it's a lot harder for tess to get involved in
the bottom side of the map we did see right as we were dropping grubs to try and kill the aura
she kind of looks and see the out focus green yeah it's an all nice use of the old
I've been seeing that more and more around the world the creep doesn't panic
Uses the ultimate so or a draw the circle whenever side she touches the TPC outside
Holy fuck. It's raining TPS. They just five men the reddit from TP Wow
They want that bot tower and now they can run and catch me
Wow, they're not even hitting top tower. Jin has to reload so mid power fine
This is the best early game I've seen from T1 in the last like six months.
I'm not even kidding.
Their early games have been disgusting.
This is by far their best.
Jesus, they have a 1k gold lead on Ash, a 1k gold lead on Jax, they've taken 2 towers in 12 minutes
They drop 2 drakes for this, this is all drake dropping what they're doing
They use their tempo for bot tier 1, they drop drake, they use their grub swap for top tower, they lose drake
They don't need to fight the next drake, if they can get the next drake then this whole sequence pays off
They drop the second set of grub for that tower, but they didn't lose anything, anything top, they lost 1 plate mid
T1's fault just because of that back plan where's my councils they have this
situation doesn't make things any easier now this is where they really want to
start fighting T1 these items are massive for their mid jungle they're
fighting now it's really it's really snappy you'll see them just click a
button and bang you're on top of the enemy team
can you find angles with the ultimate to get picks on side lane because we
know T1 just have so many tools if you misstep it's so easy for them to
find these picks to find these angles it takes a little bit more
They want to fight no matter what, now you'll see it. Ash arrow's gonna fly onto someone.
Top Esports need to be careful here.
There they go.
There it is, snapping gauge. Bang! Doesn't work. They should work with the items that they have.
They just got absolutely triple kill one shots. Oh my god.
Quadra kill for Jin. WHAT?!
Did static shift just annihilate them?!
The QW bounce auto? Just one-shot them all?
What? Well all their leads kind of gone now.
I need to see that replay because T1 got the snap onto Aurora
but they're four men groups while three men, Gumiushi was split.
Jin just one-tap them.
Let's see it. So they snap engage here onto the Skarner Aurora.
The Aurora Gold gets off when they get a three man Skarner Gold into a relic.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, the AoE from the Jin and the Aurora Combo before she died.
With the bounces and the trap on death.
Big fight there for Tess, they needed that because T1's flashes, are they going to be up for Drake on the Niko?
Bad news, every member of T1 has now picked a target.
They can't fight with Herald. I mean, they could try, but no Neko Flash is really difficult.
And Jhin has some stuff. This Jhin just got a full item of that.
He's 14 minutes in with two items. This Jhin is so much non-committal CC from the side of T1.
It's easy for them to just look for those angles.
It's a fight for Rift Herald. A lot of posturing.
They need to be careful of that Jhin.
He doesn't actually do that much damage yet.
When he has IE, it's when the Jhin is really insane.
Right now he's very heavy, he's finishing his Triforce, they're gonna fight this on the T1 with Jax Triforce
Oh my god, the Genercy
Feria has flash, he's the primary engage
He lost his shield
Owner's waiting
Faze's on the way
Let's see what 3-6 line can do, he has a good position here
Faze is gonna zone him
This position from 269 is a bit scary. Miko wants to flash in, but he doesn't have it.
Meryl dies.
Oner wants to stop them getting the buff.
T1 couldn't find an angle there.
One minute on drake. They should have Niko flashed. This next drake is going to be...
An absolute shitskest
Jack-o-Law is trying to get steel caps
Yeah, they don't have many consistent AP damages, they only have Niko Burst
There it is, the steel caps
Oh, that chain is huge. Using the level 11 as well
have been prioritizing these objectives very well only losing those first three grumps
Definitely and third Drake 20 seconds away
Fighting now for pushing the bottom side volume increase for the fight
I've been able to get this for you can see 369 happy to step up knowing the team will be there to back them up
He needs to fight with Zayas
Taking a look at the vision control right now
Can they land a dive onto gym? It's the question. Can Wukong, Miko, Rakan connect onto gym?
3C Stein, TN and NAKO have good peel, all our ult is also pretty good peel.
That's what T1's looking at. Top Esports are looking at zoning them away, keeping Jin alive.
We'll see how far back Jackie left place.
You can see them like circle around Jin.
There's bodyguards.
Rell has flash as well.
T1 needs 5 strikes.
They have a tough push.
Little bit of a trance.
He's basing T1s. If he has a good eyes on base, maybe he probably only has tunnel in base because he's on a ward anyway.
Second port dance. You highlighted it so well, right?
Zayus playing through bottom side, getting him access to that objective, having that angle of attack
whereas TES committed to the next game.
T1 don't commit enough members, they'll instantly lose that tower and it gets much harder.
But TES overcommit, it's so easy for Zayus to find that flight.
There they go, stepping gauge!
They got him!
But can they get out there?
Now go, Jackie!
What a snapper!
What a fed member!
God!
Faker dies.
An I.T.N. guy does not have a lot of attack.
Down goes to Skarner.
Oh, I love us at stepping gauge.
Who was that?
How did they find Jackie?
Jackie must have mispositioned there.
Was it Faker?
No, they needed that.
They needed this straight, no matter what.
Was that Faker?
How did he find that?
I think the Ash E must have come out, right?
Does Ash use her E so he can see it?
Yeah, the Ash E's on the side.
Oh, it was the owner.
Flash knocks him on faker's heat
Faker owner on drake fights in worlds
Feels strong man
They baited him with two wukongs, three wukongs. There was three wukongs running at him. Oh my god, what was that?
Okay, now if he won't come relax a bit. Now they can relax a bit and play on sidelines a bit
Wukong, there's four Wukongs!
He can make four!
True, the Wukong W with Faker W, there's four Wukongs.
Like, oh my goodness, crazy stuff.
Cypher playing fucking Black Mids Wukong with that passive where he summons threats.
And while 369 hasn't been the crux for TES, you can see all of the money
Oh, seeing Faker run around as Niko as a minion makes me minding me a pobi.
Shut up the pobi.
Finishing that kill and now 1.7k.
They're trying to make a bot tier to play 20 minutes into the game. This jazz is gonna work
This feels a bit crazy what he was doing thought of this game has been a target
They were putting tests away from me, but I feel like it tests was quicker here. They could have taken this
He hasn't been able to find these angles of attack at any of the fights
Yeah, you can see tests gonna zone them off
So they got a bit of bot tier to try to commit towers like 3% health, it's basically dead.
They're trying to use it to try and get tower damage on the sides.
Take care of the little wrap top, look at him.
They don't have Niko flash so Tess are feeling a bit confident, they're just going to engage.
Or is this good?
Owner kind of lids though
Oh! They're gonna be engaged on the road
Good turn!
Oh, Jinnol's gonna hurt
The static shift! Oh my god!
He missed the last shot
If that shot hit faker it was a complete wipe
Jackie has flash, don't underestimate Jackie's flash
He's a psycho
He won't got a good turn, but Jackie just murdered him with that ult.
Mid-tier 2 from that. These fights are close.
Fake res flash coming up, owner has flash coming up. They're gonna find Jackie again.
They need to find Jackie again.
Change that happens between the two teams cream is quick to throw out the alternate
So we start the issue so it's not good maker going on to owner
Let's go owner becomes the target and he takes a lot of scana all the scourge owner gets out
Terrier gets cancelled all kids to flesh out
Jackie loves one shot with a re
Here comes the static ship rock follow that up with
Don't forget your teammates can plot the static if they kill them
The Aurora has to bring a lot of damage in this fight. They're getting AoE down on the Engages.
If Jin gets IE, T1's in big trouble.
They're either repeated that Drake fight with the long attack.
Oh, they're getting such big items. Sterex.
This is going to turn into IE soon. What does T1 have?
as well. He's on three huge, but the first time we got to see him on the
international stage of course no rookie by any means domestically but as a player
he's really shown a lot of evolution a lot of growth initially known as this
kind of assassin type of player especially known for things like as Akali
but this year especially he's coming to his own he's grown a lot and now
showcasing the Aurora having huge impact in these fights I hope he can
maintain that performance getting a win against you Drake's up in a minute, popy sports is
barren damage isn't that reliable so they can't really turn and burn a
Baron on the drake spawn so it's probably gonna be a drake fight. TP behind Guma. TP on Guma.
They're a bit split here T1, they need Niko.
Does she have AI? Oh it's really bad then. That Jhin needs to die instantly.
He has to E. He should be fine his AI. No Skarner will dispeak.
Yeah, good hour by Guma.
Yeah, this genus insanely strong.
Does Tess just drop the drake? No way.
They have no relics though.
They're trying to force a Baron here.
I don't think they can do it though. Their damage sucks.
I think they have to bait it and they have Ash, right?
So it's pretty easy to find the bait.
Faker!
He went past Jekyllove!
Why did he not go on Jekyllove?
They get the drake, but now Top East force can force Siren. Now they can definitely force Siren. No Niko.
All of them bot sides, now they have to stop it I think, if they want to force it.
They're going to keep baiting.
I don't think T1 are scared of face checking. They have Niko up.
Wooy, wooy, wooy, wooy, wooy, wooy, wooy, wooy, wooy, carry out.
Carry out on our bit deep here.
They got 369 TP as well.
So what's happening is TES are stronger on midways, but T1 have both outers so they can push sides deep, and the sides will always bounce.
And they'll always get caught on the tower so T1 can catch the waves, right?
So they can play longer on sides on mid here, T1. They need these towers to be scored.
sports I mean historically they had that year where they were just the 20-minute
baron team like they also push out bot and he has so much free time
I think it's less for a while it was like the thing I think it's just less
emblem or this ace up on the toolkit though they can't really work with
sidelanes here but these words resets now coming out hey Guma has three items
Guma is insanely strong actually what he's matching gen items the next big
objective is this Baron and T1 I'm surprised to clear out some of this vision
potentially set a trap crucially the infinity edge done for Jack you love is
a huge power spike I don't know the cheaper but he's still really strong
like his I think the tower in the mid lane so low as Faker turns his
attention towards top creep does have a bit of an experience advantage over
Faker if he's able to catch that top wave you'll be a full level over him
Faker's been over grouping a lot to set up for plays with his team
Oh, Guma's ganking bot. What?
This is the thing, Guma can gank bot. You know why? Because Aurora's catching a tier 2.
He's got enough time to run back before she runs to Baron and force it.
Whereas if they had this and they had a push up here, then they could easily start a Baron.
So Guma has the time to do that.
Stop these sports, have a problem in top. They need to get that tower.
was a period in time where the gold at the top of screen was 444444 and I just feel like the
jinn would be proud of that. I'm just saying the jinn fans are eating the jinn skin. Most
certainly. You got quadra kill, falls across the board. Yeah. Counter minion checking. We're
setting up for the Baron and as you talked about, talking sports are hesitant to just
start it off. Sure. Because they have jinn. And as we already know, people, he kills
very good. Everything else. Zonius checks is pretty big. You know, we're in season
14 only four bullets he has to reload
Crazy with the what is Guma having base here, but BF sort he's in a very powerful position
And
What I will say is top e-sports I feel have very easy objectives on the maps to play
On the map, they're pinging out the bot tower right now
And I think that is the easiest one given how low HP it is
But also I'm sure they'd love to secure that top tower as well
They were able to get to in the mid lane, but these tier ones are crucial because it just makes it easier
Move into the enemy jungle right does it allows you to get deeper push on these side lanes
Which buys you I think but you're on my diet to me
You can then look for plays on the map, but I think you can see that 369 doesn't want to overcome it on side
He doesn't have TP they don't want us in cream to go up against the jacks and it puts them in this awkward situation
They finally get the tower, but it took a lot longer than they would apply
Let's see though. They might just look for a fight now the seven out just group in his front
She and just look at a bully his way and certainly has a big enough health bar
They have to be careful. The reason top esports have so much threat on midway is because they have a war with Jin.
Before I can lock someone, Jin W's instant death, they have a really good pick.
Whereas T1 don't have pick, the Ash arrow can't really be used for a pick. They have to all in.
They have big AoE spells. They need a fight.
Like here, Keria could die really easily to a Jin W. He's pretty careful.
Pretty much dead even. Gold dead even. Drake's are dead even.
30 seconds on Drake. He's only 1k down, it's not the end of the world.
Not always my favorite to see but I think when you have a Wukong against so much physical damage when he naturally already gets so much armor for
I mean, it's just execution now
Can he won't do what he did before and just land onto the gym if they can't get all of them
You just ignore so much of the damage the jack-me-up can put out now. Admittedly get it closer to complete an armor
No one really has a big ease. It's just execution might still be a struggle to burst through owner south bar in isolation
But I make magic now
And red popper owner as well wants to physical band make magic
Carrier is on the side, Jax is on the side, T1 are trying to like sandwich him a bit.
You might see them come back up here behind him through the dragon pit.
Look at this.
He wants to get bot tier 2 here Zaze, I think he's torn between a twirl.
He's slow through the drake now.
He wants to get bot tier 2.
The drake's gone, I mean Jax left the smite here some 2k.
Oh, the arrow was good. No flash on 3-6 time.
They used smoke on ult.
Oh no, it's not good for T1.
Take it?
Big engage! But it's not Jin! It's not Jin!
It's not Jin! They need Jin or it's over!
It's over.
It's over.
It's not Jin. Jin or Pusk.
Grima's kind of cooking though.
Is he cooking?
No, he's not cooking shit. It's over. T1 lost.
T1's gone. T1's gone. That's it. They lost.
There's 0-1 in the first round.
That is a 5 for 0-8, and Tracos, they can look to end the game right now!
The snapping gauge from Tess was too good.
Well, the snapping gauge from T1 was not good enough, rather.
They need Jin. No Jin, no win.
You can't kill Skarner or Aurora. Well, it's useless.
It's useless.
Their early game was good.
This is the first time in LPL speak T1 in a long time.
a very long time
That was a big game from Tess
Objectively Tess is a strong team very strong their team fighting there was great, but I do feel like
Maybe I'm I don't know I don't like T1's meta read Niko Wukong Ashe
They gave over Skarner, Aurora, Jin, Renekton, Rel
Well, these champs are insane.
Skarner's a first pick, Aurora's a first pick, Jin's at S tier AD, Renekton's an S tier top,
Rell's the best support.
They gave them so many strong champs.
Why are they playing Ash, Niko, Wukong?
What are they doing?
I'm not going to blame their draft.
Listen, if this is their meta reach, sure, their execution was terrible in that last
fight, but why are they playing that shit?
one mistake in this game and it was the drake fight. Other than that, flawless. Also, big shout out to TN. I think TN, good teamfighting to peel. TN had really good peeling. Like he peeled really well in those fights. And Cream's ults were basically everything they needed.
Good start for LPL, good start for Top East Wars.
Yeah, it's crazy. No static shift damage is nuts. You don't really think about it sometimes.
But if you're overgrouped on a static shift, bang!
Shreds you. Especially if you have no front-line.
But it was just on three bruisers.
Yeah, it was a user thought.
Also, Vulcan had no ult to follow.
I thought, oh, here he comes!
That was my stink, and I was ready for something.
I gotta say, there after that dragon fight, we were believing.
I mean, you've always believed that we were like,
OK, this is how it's going to be for the rest of this game.
I've been wrong in a lot this world.
It's a great thought if they just three-yowed.
Like, if they need to be some ops and downs,
you know, you can't let them have it all the way.
No, we are still waiting for the interview to get set up.
I'd love to get, like, can I tease who it's going to be?
Don't sleep on tests.
If they don't choke they're supposed to be top tier and so far so good.
Yeah, Jack in love interview please.
I'm 0-2 with the Shurks chat.
You didn't pick Tess?
What do you mean?
I said Tess's draft is better and I put them higher on the tier list.
I'm just being biased on stream because I'm fans of teams, man.
I wanted Red Boy to win.
for Rela the pick is like how are you going to find that one fight but that's a great
that's a great fight to have if you have a skarner that's grabbing two to three people
that's trying to engage. I'm a coach grabbing PSG and my pick is top 8. I think that's a great
comp but I will see for the rest of it. I mean it goes no ways because it's gonna come find that
but hold on, in case you find multiple people, Rael will drag multiple people together and then
you find the scanner ultimate so it's really they go hand in hand like that. They do and
it's Mako of course on Rela as well you know when it comes to finding engages finding angles
finding ways and we didn't actually we had a long delay we didn't even talk about it but it is
Every time you watch TES specifically and especially at worlds and
Wow, it's so crazy because we had our kind of pre-game expectations and our I don't have a horse in the next race
I just hope it's a good game
It's crazy from the LPL versus the number four seat from the lck if you take history
This wouldn't be a surprising your shirts are curses that I mentioned, you know, what wasn't that long ago?
There's no evidence. This is just that's yeah
Yeah, there's no evidence
Well, I definitely thought that the top we suppose was about to choke this one
We've built them up. We talked about that domestic resolve
They're gonna be a different beast this time around coming into the international stage and then that early game happened
I'm like, damn. It's kind of happening. Damn, but they managed to stabilize
Jack it up didn't flash this game once wait, really?
Horizon post game interview
Wait, Jackie love?
Let's keep going!
Okay.
Tien, thank you so much for joining me after this first win at the World Championship.
I want to start by asking you about Scarner, because it was one of the most banned and prioritized champions in the playing stage.
But you can see it rather late.
What is your priority of Scarner and how much do you think it's going to be a central pick here at Worlds?
I think this hero is the highest ban rate hero in the play-in phase.
But when the team chose B.P today, it seems that the hero came out later.
So how do you see the priority of this hero?
Or what is the rank of his hero?
First of all, I think this hero is very strong.
Then, when the other heroes are learned, the hero is more prominent.
And then, this hero, he hasn't really improved much, so maybe the priority is not that high in our team.
They got really strong camps.
The second question, I want to ask.
What's their names?
Yeah, TN can't understand that. It's not a smile.
One is me, TN.
I want to ask, are they using your classic lines?
What do you think of them?
I think my teammates are always looking at me, they want to see me in 2019.
I think many people in Europe want to see me in 2019 too.
So first of all, I think my team is kind of a joker.
And I think they really want to see the 10 of 2019.
And I'm sure that audience here also wants to see the 10 of 2019 version.
It is a perfect transition to my last question, you won WALS that year.
How does it change the expectations you had about the upcoming run at WALS, you're going to have this year?
I think we can do it in 2019.
Now I am a new team and a new identity.
I think I can do it in 2019.
I think we can do it in 2024.
in 2019. Now I'm in the brand new team with a brand new role. I think I can make it in 2019
and this time it's gonna be the same script. Wishing you the same success you had back in 2019.
Thank you so much for the interview. Kristina, we can't see you but thank you so much for the
translation and that's all for us here. Thank you so much. Hoping for the best,
hoping for the same since 2019 speak for yourself take second place again
once you've been to a couple of finals you wouldn't get it then yes we would
like to have that form of 2019 in fact you know when you look at TES and also
Also how they played in this first game, including Jackie Love, it was phenomenal when it came to taking back control over this game and I would like to take another look at it.
Yeah, if Toppiesports informed this worlds is going to be a... take one.
It also depends on Weibo and NG, because if they're also in good form, it might be JNG and Humble Life.
It's really just about how they turn around your war
It might just be that
Yeah, I mean, it's the bouncing grenade together with that static prop
The mid fight as well. Yes, crazy
Okay with that
Okay, it's where you got to see the full
And we saw it a couple of times after the game we roll into our replay
I put on my pick-and-stay wins roles
So this fight three six nine has no flash
But owner
So he's here
And now when faker goes in he only really finds their front line without who come old
Anyway
It's completely useless
And at this stage, I think they're already pretty far behind because of the fight that happened mid lane
So it was like a great engage not a great
Are there any DK believers in chat or is it just me?
I think it goes of course in tandem with the draft that TES decided to field, you said it all around
Already about the Aurora. What were you wowing about?
Just the difference, the big pop-up
It's just you how it was
Did the most damage in this game is a little bit surprising
So much of that damage is hard to see because we saw all the kills from Jackie
key, but when everyone was so grouped up, everything Aurora is doing is AOE, and it really
just added up throughout the game.
And this goes back to me, because when we're looking at the whole tournament expectation
of what the draft is going to be, that's a lot of the move that they've been asking
is, what's the draft priority going to be?
And it's the Aurora.
We've seen a little bit of it in Champions Q in Europe, but it's just how flexible
it actually is between mid and top lane.
You can go grass and all these things.
And then just in those fights that we saw, yeah, T1's engaging.
Where's the shirt?
It's Gen G Weibo.
I don't really have a horse in the Gen G Weibo train.
I guess I would, uh, I mean, I slightly lean towards Gen G because I like the LCK, but I
also slightly lean towards Weibo because it's the old school boys without the shy.
I don't really mind two wins.
I'm down for both.
A lot of learnings, but when we come back, Gen G is taking on Weibo.
We'll be right back.
It's the boys from last year, and it's Gen G from the LCK.
I'm here for both.
What's the schedule actually?
So we got Genji Weibo, and then it's Phenatic DK!
Bro, it's crazy, no chance.
We're only two games in, we got six more, we got another, then another, then another, then another, then another, and then another.
The ending of the day is actually kind of nice.
Alright Chad, big pace now. Hopefully no more delays.
Genji Weibo is a great matchup, mainly because of mid jungle.
Tarzan and Xiaohu versus Kenyon Chovy.
That's a really good mid-jungle matchup.
I'm gonna toilet real quick, BRB on second.
BRB on second.
Gives you wings.
Shadry, we start spinning.
Say yes.
Right-handed on me.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So this series, Genji Weibo,
maybe a lot of Western fans don't,
I mean, I don't know how much Western fans watch
L-ScalePL, but it's actually a really good game.
Even though it's second seed versus fourth seed,
really good game to watch
if you like some good quality League of Legends.
I think what you'll notice is...
Weibo Gaming will play very heavily jungle bot side.
And Gen.G, I mean, they can play through all lanes,
but mostly you just need to keep your eyes on where can in show we play the game.
Paislehens 2v2 is very strong actually.
People on the raid Paislehens 2v2,
but their 2v2 I think is actually one of the best in the world.
Check Reddit real quick.
Okay, we have 50 seconds.
What is it?
I need to watch that edit.
I think it's a thousand bit quicker.
Henio is watching the game.
Aw, cat!
scoring a takedown against any champion on lisa lightning shock 270 mighty damage each
yeah time for t1 to plazig a weapon reckless a singular static proc from
jinn wait really holy fucker who would get at least one pen steal world so
close yet so far hey mother sucker I have super I have super I had a dream
last night the test BT1 my dream came true ain't no way they subbed in
You can sign on Tess, huh?
DDX, eight games a day with the ladies,
it was 24 hours in League of Legends, finally.
All right, let's get into it.
Let's get into it, Genji versus Wabo, come on,
pull me up, is there analyst desk?
Welcome back to the world's 2024 Swiss stage,
where we are moments away from our third game of the day,
Genji versus Wabo, and get me in luck.
We're all just wondering,
is Genji still the best team in the world?
Can we still say that and is Waybo ready to upset those expectations because again we talked about it coming into this tournament
Waybo is a team that's pretty constantly discounted by everybody, but K-dral
This is a team that despite that last year
Yes, they lost to T1, but they did the impossible on upsetting I told you they were good last year
No, I believe me. No believe me. I mean finals
I really think the introduction of Tarzan is some wonders for the waybo roster like he is an incredible jungler
It is a pleasure to watch him play and think he's a large part of
They lost so they bought up to in the world last year back
Weibo top two in the world last year fight
We're out of friends gone bro
Choby show who light-paste
Chris Flihens Canyon Tarzan
I think top matchups gonna suck for way both but Danny
What are those shoes Danny?
How did C1 lose? Did you work them? No.
Listen, T1 lost fair and square, don't say yap about this and that.
They drafted a comp that had very high execution bar, they didn't execute, they lost.
Checking up, clapped them.
They need to go back to the drawing board and figure out a different comp or a different
style.
I'm gonna call a T1 hater, I'm gonna get full T1 bias, I'm gonna get full T1 back.
Gen.G are the best team still coming out of Korea.
He'll be fine. I think he'll all be fine. They should make it out of this.
They should make it out of this.
HLE was better on the day, but Gen.G is still the better team.
And it's on the stand of all that are in my country.
Especially when you look at how...
If you have audio desync, just refresh your screen.
What is the expectation?
Was that they would sweep through the house.
I'm 0-2 with Jersey now, so I'm not cursing anyone.
This is just anyone's game.
Gen.G should win though.
No surprise, the six gonna be taken away from base Orianna and Renekton.
Orianna banning in Shahu. I want to see Chou via Kali.
Aurora ban? I think Aurora is a must ban on Riftside, you know.
It looks like Skyrim bans are falling off a bit, though.
I'm surprised.
What's the last bang? Is it Scarner? Kenny was playing a bit in the finals.
Yoni.
What have they got first pick? They've already launched it.
Scarner, Vi, Syndra.
Smolder first pick.
This is what I mean by scrim bubbles. What the fuck is that?
First pick?
And then it was bound away a lot.
Yes.
What is that?
It doesn't have a lot of poo.
Smolder first pick.
But the talent of a mid laner here is...
Surely you just draft a Viacombe instead.
Poppy flexed on red side.
It's a scripted comp stuff.
No surprise that Gen.G wants to kill us up.
But remember it can be flexed.
Something that can be moved between mid lane, top lane,
and even AD carry,
even though we don't see it in AD carry position very often these days.
And always nice to have kind of that late game maturance.
Not as insanely powerful as it once was.
It's not as simple as you get two 25 stacks
You just win the game, but still I like poppy flex on red side a lot. Is it Tars and nidalee?
It's a bit weird to pick nidalee here though because you lock in poppy support top. You could just do Shindra
What is this draft poppy jacks one two?
That does sound a bit horrific for smaller to play against, but still
Malkai! What is Shenshi doing? They're drafting like it. Malkai rumble!
You're just coming to the world to hide, and you're repeatedly rambling.
You're drafting like it's the finals!
This is the playoff meta!
This is not the world's meta!
This is what Genji were drafting in their playoffs, domestically.
This is what I mean by LCK's slow into new patches.
They think that the test is going to be...
Are they fucking crazy?
...in contrast to Genji, just not ready.
Did someone tell them of patch run?
...just sticking to what they're reliable and confident in.
Bro, what is happening? My brain is getting fried apart.
They can't be real.
I mean I'll wait till I see it. Gen.G's been screaming for weeks and they think that the playoff's patch is still the patch, they don't even notice or that big of a deal.
This is the first team where I've seen them triple down on the old patch.
And a core part of how they've been able to find so much success seeing him go up against Paze is gonna be an exciting one
You ban Nami, I guess you do with Blitzcrank fan, right?
Weibo likely looking to try and secure
Well PSG did rumble. They didn't do smolder Maokai
Given that Poppy can't always flex there and they know that the smolder is really going into the mid lane
Which means they ban Nautilus. What are they gonna ban you? Weibo?
It's been weird to ban Nautilus, but I mean Lehens does like his Nautilus. Rell is really good for a 10G though
Yeah, you can see one tournament playing Syndra in multiple roles, right?
We have three incredible Syndra players at this tournament, between Nite, ShaoHu, and Shoemaker.
I take off Jin.
Iconic Syndra, it's not that there aren't other people who can play it.
So it would be a treat to see it.
That said, Jin banned the way.
I mean, Jinji, what do you play on FOIA?
Surely they're not going to do MF, right?
Are they really going to do MF?
ShaoHu.
It's Lucian.
The problem is you show up into a game with so many veterans in a new match.
There's no way they're going to do MF.
they're gonna do MF. I mean, Sergio Arnie is not bad for Wave ult, but then you're giving
away the Poppy Flex, right? What do you pick AD slash mid here? Could do like a Zyra, but
yeah, Jinx. I mean, MF rel would be a Gen.G classic here,
No? With this team comp?
But what happens then? Poppy goes jungle, you pick Tumkeng on 5?
Don't do MFRL, don't do it. Do Kaisa instead.
Kalista, Renata.
I mean, that's pretty OP.
That's pretty OP.
What do you pick support here?
Mortalists?
I don't know.
Ah yes, Poppy supports into Kalista and Arka.
I for you.
Shat, I'm gonna run out, you can subscribe but if you're 1-0 to this problem you don't have to stop me the 1p in the rest of the game, Shat, here's the big kiss.
Get a drink, get a snack, feed your cat, feed your fish, take it for a walk with...
We're looking for this next game.
Gen.G are drafting so strangely. They put Poppy support into Kalista Renata, which I don't mind, but with Jinx AD,
Lucian mids,
Ivern's good into Malkai, but...
I mean, I hope for Gen.G's sake,
Wayba wins this so they get a reality check. You can't be drafting Smulder, right?
I feel like if you did the smolder first pick first BLG, they would slam sinja by and that smolder condoning
I'm worried about way both damage the solution though. They're very ad heavy
That malchai is gonna be a bit tanky. I think maybe a bit too tanky
Keep that in mind as we watch. He's not able to find those trades. He's not able to find those leads, but of course the lane swap.
Number one thing on our minds, expected, seems likely for Waybo.
Yeah, I chose Gen.G to go undefeated in Swiss.
So I kind of need Gen.G to win for my pick-ends.
The amount of damage that it can do is still something to be respected.
And Gen.G's drafting like this.
I'm surprised they're drafting like this.
your third game of the day our second LPL versus LCK showdown of the day and the
beautiful thing about this matchup is you highlighted it.
WABO is unpredictable. There are teams that you genuinely don't know the level
they're gonna deliver on the day. WABO is weird. PTA, Lucian, PTA, Jinx, they're not
lane-swapping, surely they lane-swap, right? PACE is Gen.G gonna swap,
Expecting Waybo to swap? I would imagine so, right?
It's quite odd to lane swap as Kalista Renata into poppy support with Aftershock.
Waybo's just not gonna lane swap, or?
I think they are, Jinx is basing. Gen.G's gonna match the lane swap.
Of course lane swap great, but it looks like Gen.G practically trying to gain control of the topside because they want this 2v2
They are so much stronger than 2v2 the second they see Chris has aftershock
They know they just body that level one breathe wants to come behind them
That will be a bit in where the jinx is going to go where light is pace wants to swap
But he's not sure they've seen the jacks so they think that the jacks is on the top side of the map
But yeah, the jacks bait has made it so Gen.G go standard lanes
So wave will get the swap off to avoid the lane
He's trying to avoid any potential wards.
Think of this from Gen.G's vision, right?
All they see is Jax.
Oh, it's so smart.
Vision, breathe walking in.
Just to try to be disruptive.
I mean, this is also a very classic top lane move, right?
To interrupt, get in the way.
Chris now making his way over will be the number
that's required for Gen.G is not expecting.
This Chris could E him here into the wall.
Why don't they E him into the wall?
Manages to get away.
Chris might have had the angle if he stepped forward
take the fight. This is really important for Ivarin, Ivarin needs camps and it's very
hard in a lane swap for Ivarin to get his camps. Okay, so Ivarin's going to get the
camps it looks like. Two in mid is good for smolder stacks, yeah but actually yeah it
is a mid champ. So the smolder can't hook a little bit on that, but I don't know how
Wave is catching the spot wave, it's Poppy on the way
Yeah, there's no TP in 2v1
Ooh, the hand's missed the Q
Here's Crisp and they catch
Does Genji pull the 3v2? No way
They do have Kalista, Renata though, they do get the reset, think about that
It's very hard to play it against Jax though.
Maybe if they get Jax's counter strike early they can play it.
They could dive, get Jax E, re-dive after the drop.
The wave's too small, they're not going to dive.
Yeah, if you remember the last game T1 had Ashe top into Renekton and Ashe could bully
the Renekton. But Jinx can't really bully the Rumble, so Rumble's kinda fine. They need
to get Jax out of bot lane quick here, Webo. This demolished Renaka is murdering a tower.
He's gonna get cancelled by Kalista Q, man.
You can see the Jinx now recalling.
Of course, no Jinx available.
Not the best lane swap for Weibo. Jinx really turned out that good.
Keep doing a good job of just getting farm and experience on the top side of that.
Here it is, the one that benefited the most from this exchange.
Looks like they're gonna keep the swap. They're actually gonna keep sending the Jinx top.
It comes back to that point you made in the previous game round.
Perhaps the priority is around the grubs.
Nothing else you're getting solo experience.
Small to 21 stackstats. You can see it here.
They couldn't win out on the 2 vs 2 and the threat of a dive is very real.
What though?
Isn't Jack just...
...falling behind the lot here?
They want to stay away from the Calista though, with Jinx trying to get her some time.
Does Jinx base have to stop waving one bot in a way?
Light is a world-class AD carry.
So yeah, the problem is he's against Rumble Malkai, which kind of sucks for Genes.
Tarzan has no sweeper.
Smolders kind of scaling for free.
Genji love these games like this. They have pushing lanes and they can just do like grubs for free and just
any kind of scaling is great for Genes.
They will out-mackery really easily if they get to a good game state.
Find themselves in a 2v2 that is difficult to play.
This is the thing they've been doing their best to avoid.
The gold advantage that Paze sits on is because of the plates that were secured early.
Jahu finding advantages in the mid lane 1 versus 1.
They have good mid push here, Wibble, because they fight the Grubs.
Do they fight the Grubs?
If they get culling on Lucian, they could try. They just don't see anything right now.
They have no vision.
Waving a neutral state, forcing Light and Chris to push out if they want to come down.
No, they're just gonna push out top and base, I guess.
They take this fight, they're very late.
Intervention Grub's just a big buff to Kalista because she's so good at securing and taking control of objectives.
Now Peso really wants that farm, it's not certain that this fight is going to be over.
No Kana's smite, they got all three.
Smiting the last one away trying to get the hell out.
They hit the Grub so quick there.
Nice flash by Canyon.
Rocket gets blocked.
I mean, it's good for Gen.G again.
and
good flash from Canyon respecting the
mouse guy flashed for three grubs super words
honestly I forgot
where's the shine
he recognized that
alright I need to get out of here
but he secures objective videos after
three grubs locked down
and Genji's still able to leverage the
strength of the spotlight
two versus two
he's able to secure that level six as we already know
so the very least
Can't carry this game though. He just needs to get ahead.
Jax is taking brother trouble inside lane though.
They don't have any AP damage, so this Maokai is going to get so tanky.
the GenG see an opportunity for more plights and frankly the mid lane you've
got a smolder who's chilling right chovy weathering the storm nicely early
plated steel caps to mitigate in your shadow is a P or is it really great
let's protect they're actually find our food truckers solely play around mid
or try to support any early advantage the Lucian could have you found the
solution that's it I don't know when the mid lane yeah so I mean GenG is in a
great state but to be honest webo did the right thing the jinx is even with
Kalista if they play 2v2 this jinx is down 30 CS under her tower screaming to
help but I can tell you when I see it on my screen if that's not the play-by-play
life I don't know what is chubby flaps out to safety and we go now ready to
commit a bit more resources around mid lane trying to help shout who get the
push so they can look towards this Drake Genji have already reset look at
XP in top. He's a full level down.
Crispy Train?
Kaze is ahead. That's really good for Gen.G.
Kaze being ahead is like his best spot.
He's still... when he's even or behind he's still really good but when he's ahead he's very good at snowballing the game.
Chat, don't say no way. That's just the way Pace works. When the team's even or behind Pace isn't that superstar you would want.
In my opinion. But when he's ahead, he is that superstar you would want.
If you watched our games, Niels K. would see it.
Wait, a head equals good? No way!
He gets no practice from behind with his teammates. True.
about them up could get a lot of work done just missed at the team did you just miss
that very comfortable game pace that has continued to favor them the gold yes
within touching distance but you talked about the late game scaling insurance the
fact that can just been able to pick up this early lock it's going to have to
show who still plays the game quite easy for Gen G to navigate I wasn't my only
concern for Gen G is I'd say they're engaged isn't the most reliable but
I guess you make the same argument for Wayvo but like who really starts the
fight some of you both pray the other side to start the fight
Malkai were not off their face or Poppy ult them out.
Yeah, you kind of... you...
I'm deciding if it's better for you to be the first one.
Alright, here we go. Grub fight maybe.
Kalista doesn't have blade, so it's probably good to take, but Keen's gonna TP in early.
Malkai has flash. This looks kinda hard to fight.
Also looks really hard to fight.
Oh my god, Krispy Kreme.
Is Swayboy FKs? Can they fight anything?
Oh, we're not done with this clutch.
Not like Rispy Cream.
Wait, he's alive.
Wait, Rispy's kinda good.
Wait, Chalm's kinda cooking him from behind.
Wait, hold up, where's the Jinx rocket? It could do big work here.
Kenny, no flash.
No kind of sold either.
It's one second cooldown.
Okay!
Okay, Webo.
Chalm, we no flash.
Okay, Webo, you didn't get a grub, but you got some kills.
Harder it is to approach especially the things like the Renata ultimate and the Maokai ultimate
But ultimately those tools we use I mean Jack's Poppy are really annoying champs for Kalista and Daisy as well
I'm a really nice angle for the re-engage with a good TP flank coming in from breathe
So you'll notice the side of this fight tools were used to mainly try and get a pick on to Chris
Chris died to small heroes didn't he?
So there's the Renata ultimate, there's the Maokai ultimate
And in combination with the rumble ultimate too, it's forcing them back
But that's three ultimates now gone and now the re-engage comes in
I mean he did the musta, he's at the back of the...
And this is why Genji is forced to scatter and disengage
A nice ulti from Chobie is able to do a very decent deal of kill
But...
Small draw from the back of the...
I think they're able to get away still with three and all of the grubs
A great situation for Genji
Yeah, six grubs
Not normally allowed
In competitive rounds
We see an LCK and LPL, right? Teams will fight to get four
And they need IE, they need color, they need trysource
likely and it can be very high risk to
Hear Gen. G really set up to just start pushing out these lanes show you again very comfortably scaling a hundred nine
What the grubs do they give you more damage to towers steal the arc
And I think that we need to kind of see more from from weibo in these fights because giving away six grubs
Very frustrating because close to normally not the best chafing in the game of taking towers
Not always in a position to match Jinx, but when you have six grubs it feels a lot closer
Play to the rune came being completed for pay
Yeah, pay is as played now, pretty strong
This is a very scary spot already
Genji, taking their time, they find themselves on a slight gold deficit, but it's nothing really to be too worried about
Yeah, Wable is kind of fine in this game
We think about next objectives they can play for
Today's got to have an upset, right?
Right into the mid lane
It's Genji losing to Evo, that's gotta be the upside of the day if this happens.
Surely G2B is playing right?
And slide by speed scan right?
Now Chovy returns, just trying to keep his options open, waiting for that wave to be pushed in by Xiaohu
Any poppies will be played in jungle once, and then the pickings are GG
So can come to the objective, as Wei Bo now move into the river, start to take control around the bay here
12 seconds before the objective responds
Oh top, sorry, is it top?
to enter I should say at the top river get a bit of deep vision lights gonna have
access onto this midway push this one out this pays about like the waves he
looks for a pic there's the engage going to go I take it back it's not ever
alive it's a questionable statement especially when a war exists flash
for lands very well positioned to make it over the traps with the knockback
still coming through is not quite able to find the roof of childhood starting
objective here she was doing no damage only hit there chovy just continues to
stack and genji will be able to at least threaten this tower you can see in the
meantime can you happy to just start up the objective they already got one Drake
willing to concede the Herald it would seem yeah Herald for Drake only second
economy snapshot it was fine to either side but they're okay for now
Actually really good for now jinx's game stage is fantastic against Calista like look at jinx stays against Calista
You wouldn't think that would you against Calista or not? Like a jinx is up
two waves and up a level
With an eyebrow and a poppy spawns Calista actually wave was game states insanely good
They get first ball tower mid as well now should just be able to break this one down wait
This is insane for a bow. Where's the crowd dragons at though?
Drives it away, and we'll now use it to at least push slightly more favorably
Jammu has moved off to a sideline himself and is putting some pressure down onto Keen on the top side
With all the vision invested on this top side of the river as well
Keen has to be careful about who actually I hope Genji lose this man
Which is why he's showcasing that respect going back to base tping bots to match up into the jacks
Knowing that he should have a slightly easier time if they win the game with this draft the rest of the tournament
They're gonna be playing this dog shit. This can't be good. I refuse to believe it
You can't just copy paste your summer game strapped. I hate when things do that
But if Genji lose this that means in the 0-1 bracket, there's T1 and Genji
to any really bad fights in fact they've been able to find that good fight around the hell of themselves so
We talked about the scaling of the smaller something that is always going to be terrifying to deal with but the
The strangest thing about this game is going to be about how they start fights
Because I put the way boys my dark horse right it's going to be crucial being first on the objective
I think the enemy is going to be forced to form into you and that means you're the walking into a puppy
Who can knock you away? You're walking into the range of a jacks flank
What do you mean Doc Horse DK?
DK is on the Doc Horse, they're winning, that's top 4.
That's on the Doc Horse, that's a golden horse.
No trophy winning horse.
I'm not going to stay there observers wonderful hiding breathe debating if you wanted to leverage that canyon or enemy cannon minion
Fuck me this game slow come on andries, but it's a good point, right? So objectives that are going to be big
Throughout the entirety of this game because if you can force the enemy team to come to you
You'll be finding a much more popular one position Gen G's me and bought zero on
Drake's in two minutes.
Man.
Jinx is going to have two items before Drake as well, maybe.
Hold up, let Weibo game and cook.
He's going to deny the cannon from Chovy.
He's not going to like that Chovy.
Chovy minus one cannon.
CS as possible from Chovy. An interesting game state, it's just cross maps continue to come through,
both these teams just kind of waiting for those spikes, waiting for those major objectives to
respawn about a minute and a half until this... I bet you Weibo like wins this game then goes on
to the next round and loses to like PSG or something if they win. Or GEM. We're getting closer
and closer to some of those big spikes, first items across the board already been completed
for a while. The narrative will be oh my god Weibo beat Gen G but they're losing to
to all the bottom teams what the fuck
light and crest doing what they can
I can see as long as Tarzan's there it's pretty easy for light to walk up
doesn't really matter if he takes 100 to 200 damage
Jesus this jinx is insanely strong
more than enough to protect him
and she has an iron and she has a poppy support
which can knock away the malkine and stop the calisthen
we'd love to do so before the next major objective
you highlighted a minute and a baron minute on the drake
both teams pushing out to side
and I'm gonna be honest bettys when we started this game I thought we were gonna have time
to talk about
Wow, Chovy vs Shao.
There's just another being about who played the map there.
Mikhail's on the Ivern.
Yeah, still exciting, but...
Holy fuck, chat.
I know you're in bed right now, but you're going to need to wake up in 30 seconds.
Because you'll see everyone gravitate this way.
But overall, Weibo, despite difficulties early on with those objectives, still...
This is where we'll get our first fucking fight.
Still in a pretty positive position, you can see the win probability very, very close.
I mean, yeah, it is very close.
I actually think I favor Wibble.
I don't like Genji's dive, they have Rumble with Malka or SmallBall, it's a lot of AoE, we're not all AoE.
But I don't think they have like the damage to kill someone.
on for two components the zeal and the last whisper but I'm not brief the tp
earlier but he's greedy for a top wave chovy is here in the meantime
breed is gonna start he's teaching behind them does have a tp of his own
will show up on the bottom side of the map waiting in the brush genji do
spot him show me some 93 stacks for the 5050 Genji are they gonna take
Oh, Malkai sent to Narnia. Rumble is not bad though, Jahu took a lot of damage, but they don't have the damage to kill anyone.
Kines Flash, Breeze feeling it. The Jinx also not bad. Renato is going to kill the Jax, Jax is down here.
He got a lot of work on the Pace pal. Kines Flash, you can cook them all.
They're desperate to get something else for life, Chris. Knocked down into the wall.
No reset for Jinx.
Jinx can't kill the Malkai.
We're out, they can flash out.
Oh, he died for this in the best solution.
One for one.
Great for Webo.
Great for Webo.
That was a very slow fight. No one wanted to go in.
I saw point away from Genji and it's just a one for one, but no fucking matter my
Genji's gonna fuck up my pick-ups in the first game
Getting him out of the fight the combination of the Mark Elton the rumble also looks promising to start with
But this difference between the range look at how light ships away at Chobe's HP bar the
Redemption doing work for Tarzan and Jawa on the backside and then breathe working
Well by going into the 1v3, but then the Renata ultimate zoning the rest of vapor away from the exchange
But now there's just no more I
Copied a those pickings cat despair
Yeah, it's hard for life to go into minigun form there for a little bit
I'll stay in range form just to make sure we have to step up
Wait, holy fuck they have an army backstage and it's important to understand that like Genji have to play that fight
That well or it gets much much worse light only gets the first reset only gets the first pass and frock when they're already
Over the wall that it happened sooner that you can see Jinx is going
a LVR second because I mean they're gonna stack armor like fuck.
Smaller is stacking though.
It's crazy the stream is on 270 CS at 22 minutes against Kalista Renata.
It is absolutely mind blowing.
That lane top did wonderful.
was kind of chubby and chubby yeah exactly right that's my point the jow who is the other man on the
side lane all right she's had a big item here keep this pressure up meanwhile like this soaking up
every single wave in mid he's also being donated farm from his jungler like if lpl wins this lpl
is too low against the lck but just farming incredibly well and while gents you're trying
to find plays they're looking for a pretty render please we were just passively picking up a lot of
gold by maximizing the amount of farm that they're able to get on the map so they now find
themselves with a 3k gold lead without finding any significant team fight it's
another LPL CK they've secured all of the energy FTO and they're in a great
positioning so no we talked about how we both is a team that just surprises
Gen G is a team but when the four teams in their finals they are MSI
champions they are touted as one of the teams to win this whole tournament
And he's Weibo, with a 3K goal lead!
They are the epitome of unpredictable, because they have stable players, they have great playmakers,
and they're a team that are very often difficult to judge.
And I feel like so far in this game they're proving why.
They have a nice lead, they're in a good position, they now just need to be able to close it out,
which is a tough thing to do against Genji.
Smolder stacked up in three more four more. They're trying to oots to get the tower
But light doesn't give a fuck. We're just gonna hit the wave in his face. Lucian is big
Lucian has some big items
What if they flash on your shower? I don't have no flash. No drake for a minute. Krispy Kreme, what to do?
Oh my god, Smolder, Smoldering Shed.
Oh, light damage is big
Smolder, Smoldering. Fuck, do I want my pick-ups to do well or do I want them both to do well?
Scaling now pick them
Genji just fine
But you can see all creditors
Because about little engaged they have they're just chipping away that waiting for someone to overstep make mistake
Sightlings are all right spacing without the spacing rumble spacing lights probably gonna have to base
That one top lane not really pushing super hard
So neither side losing out on a lot of CS or gold to just hang out in the mid lane and posture
He's gonna get his base cancelled though
But a very awkward right, because these are teams who normally you're like
Oh, they're pretty precise engages, but they just, they don't have the tools
No, they don't
And honestly this benefit split pushes more than they know how to
If those infernal synders don't forget to pick them up
They get engaged on it mid lane
It doesn't matter if you're on the base or small
Because this jinx is gonna look at you and be like, okay, cool
It's such a changing thing to do to rock up to the first game of Worlds
and play the exact same comp you're playing in summer no matter what the patch change is.
That's the most genji thing ever.
They could have Jax just solo, the dragon by the way while keeping pressure.
You know, we practice this all year, this is good.
You're trying to contest this mid wave as the calling comes out from Jowee Goodee.
Holy moly, Jowee Goodee.
We could have a damage.
We still have some.
Ooh, he is dashing, dashing.
Tenana, flash.
Tenana, flash.
They have Mikael, though, so they could Mikael's flash the Uffan out and then
the Malphite's talking.
This is the way we're deciding not to.
He's hesitant about the potential engage, but...
It's such a good game, but it's such a goofy game, buddy.
Because they just, you're right, they cannot engage on each other.
The calling looks great, but it's just both sides trying to see fish for an angle.
It's Ivory Q with Wabos engaged.
For a Flash W for Canyon, for a Root and Tarzan, for someone to overstep, but they
shouldn't be.
Chris maybe finds a Flash E into a wall.
Or someone starts an engage.
I mean, Genji just getting pushed out.
They don't really have control of their mid lane.
Yep.
They'll get pushed first.
Wabos in a very commanding position.
Recalls are now being forced out.
Genji have decent vision around the objective, but Chris kind of shepherding them like a border collie up towards the top side of the
Stop the recall
Wabo the TV's gonna come out from the smolder as well
And now they can just walk away
Get the push in mids. The wave does get caught by key and they now have clean access towards the dragon
Well, all this has been happening
I do think they could have just kept breathe there
But I guess the fact that he doesn't have the TP was the biggest thing that they were concerned about in the event that a fight did kick off
Either way though
Now I do wonder if you will but I wonder if Gen G's gonna force Baron looks like it will be fine
Yeah, okay. I was worried because with breathe they're gonna force Baron Gen G
I think she had me an opportunity to reset after all that. I don't know if it's good though
You could then look for an engage, but I say that this is the window
So that's poppies and they're going for this now knowing that someone really trying to pick up that farm on the bottom
wave it will cost webo to be here to be present in this play pop y'all gonna be
oh mark iw the queen by clenion
keep it in the play
they're gonna finish it with kalista
they're gonna stick the baron down they won't do so breed now with no man's land
ulti now used by the glist of breed locked up for a brief moment
the culling's not bad but the zonya is also not bad
keep going from chow who doing the whole hell
jenji need to get out
try to try to chase but chovy
oh nice dash from christy creams
trying to try to bail out the bailout
not enough breed sending it
still going chow who is still going chow
light spacing can you space them
with full confidence but chovy
carcen mcales was clutch
the shield he's gonna dive to the queue
1 for 2
They got Nash there though
They wanna chase this even more
Canyon has no flash
They could try and hunt Canyon but he might just base out
I think now is an overzealous TP play for sure.
He thinks he's being chased by that.
Yeah, look at his flash from Chris.
He's team Zonyas' and then he overheats when he W's here.
And now he can't even ult, so team dies with flash ult up.
the river but ultimately it's a Baron secured for Genji now here's the biggest
problem with what has just happened now the team hasn't engaged the team they're
so left in it's crazy so Jinx has sums up and so does Mulder I think we go
again yet no engage just look at each other and right click
wave that they do have and they're gonna siege off to this tower, produce the Baron, they're
gonna be moving into the topside jungle, and they're gonna shoot the Dynastrode, and they're
gonna do the longage of sitting in mid, concentrating back on the floor, and they're trying to get
more elsewhere on the map.
So when we get some kills, we're gonna get rid of Baron, and towers now starting
to fall, keep in mind about two or three waves of CS were also deleted in bot lane
in the midst of that entire Baron play, so the gold is basically equalized, only
about a two-capped difference in my team.
I'm sorry, serious?
Kalista is pretty strong now.
So is Jinx.
Malkai will show who needs to get in the tails here, yeah.
Oh my god their tanks are so disgusting.
This Maokai Rumble smolder-old combo is disgusting.
Oh he palesed over the needle hit.
Yeah and scale hard enough I guess.
Criminal.
Breathe on the side lane, gonna knock down this tier 2, but...
How does TPing on them?
Is he still flanking Lucian?
Yes, sir, it is.
Let's go on the Blaine now.
Oh, he is dead.
Yes, no flash.
He comes, breathes right here too.
Genji actually has to be careful, but their TP's coming in,
but it's gonna be a little bit late if we look at...
Now Keen's TPing.
I might be able to get something done,
but now it's Keen behind him, like,
gonna be a little bit late.
Mega play by Keen.
What can ShaoHu do? He shoots it.
I mean they just stale haven't they?
Big fun by Breeze but no follow-up
Chovy scaled too hard. My pickums might be safe Sheth
Oh he showed!
This is a 750 gold kill for Chovy
Chovy though
Hold up
Hold up because you have Dash with Reptifier
He has Grasp on Smolder. He's quite tanky.
30 seconds on Drake. It should be free soul point for Gen.G. I think they've got the game in their control now.
This 4AV comp, they're gonna have Randuin's on Kalista.
Maokai's in Sene-Tanki, Zonya's the steal caps. They lock it.
We're getting caught up in the moment that discipline paying dividends as you can see
Waybo
Man genki's winning, but I just don't like the way they win games force to engage force to make the play
You're pretty disadvantaged in the house. Don't like the way they win games great disengaged will so many threats that can blow you up
Yeah, I mean I think I mean it's good. They're winning right my pick and just say to them happy for them
But ah and it's basically just our our our our just scaling scaling scaling wins
They're playing fights well though, their range control is good.
But my biggest question now, moving forward, does this comp beat Vi in Syndra?
If this comp can beat Vi in Syndra, then yeah, I mean it's strong.
Smalled root, Malkyled, tower dead, runaway, weight roots, Rumble ult, smalled root, tower dead, weight roots
It's a slow way to win, but it looks quite solid
quite solid
now we came into worlds like Akali, Syndra, Yone
we had mega pace games and then they decided yep
you've had enough fun now guys
we're scared
let me show you how to win a game
We see both teams setting up to be objective. They also have no magic damage at all.
Yeah, so Gen.G with this randomness Kalista, I don't really think Paze can die now.
We still have 4 deaths in the context of the game, but he's just been building up to the level of all of this entire game, and he doesn't get away with any of the tiny bits of magic damage from Tarzan or from Shalva's passive whatsoever.
So a lot of the things in this game, these little edges favoring Gen.G, whether it's the scaling of the smolder, whether it's the range on these ultimates, or the full AD kind of composition that Webo have brought together.
Yeah, I just noticed that the Rando wins on Paze as well.
Yeah, Rando wins on Paze, big.
That's basically just an additional 25% damage reduction for everything.
Because basically everyone is quitting.
What you mean hating on Gen G?
How am I hating?
I was hating that they're drafting the same thing from summer, but
I'm happy for them that it's working.
I just don't know if it's gonna work for the whole tournament.
That's why I'm asking. I'm asking, does the Speed Syndra Viacomps?
If it does, then it can work, you know, but it doesn't work.
Decent chunk, mid prior in favor of Weibo for a brief moment, they're now trying to use it to collapse onto Lahans.
Lahans is kind of caught for their palestials, Pace is coming, he can probably ult him out.
Wait, he ulted him out in the bailout.
Does he get the reset?
Wait, the stun is good from Chris.
Wait, what if Canyon just do, he just flashed in?
Shall we find the kill? Pace finds the kill there onto Chris.
Shao Huo has flashed
They went 2 for 2 which is not bad for Weibo but
I think Canyon just kind of flashed in and died
I think he got rooted by Ivan, I think he tried to flash W
There, Talistar is secured
He'll be back from Lucian
He has Culling up soon, I think Weibo can play this maybe
Shahu flashed in a bit too early, or like Dash didn't, Pace just kills him, we randomly
used him, unkillable.
They needed to play around Jinx there.
One minute thirty seconds on soul.
Lightest flash coming up, cancel on the base.
Does Pace just last item a GA in this game?
Just buy some little bit more time 36 minutes in
You could go DT, but I kind of like GA
When both teams just keep going back and forth pays nothing but confidence as he dived in for that one
He has a good one too
True. I was wondering why he took so little damage from Xiaohu
But it's just since you're already like I can't get to you that Kalista's health bar
And I am both the hunter and the tank
Come at me Xiaohu
QSS on Chovy
He doesn't want to get hit by any stuns.
Yes, stuns as well, so...
Yeah, how does Wabo kill their carries?
400 stacks, Mulder.
Wabo's in a forced baron on WAPI's position, he's terrible.
They have to full-snash.
Lucian could get...
pulled on the side here.
They have no stuns to flash on him, but...
needs to play the bit before the coming is rubbish.
Ooh, it's not bad.
But Paz is there to try to save them.
Is he in range to hit?
Angle coming in for the knockback poppy.
Oh, we got Choby.
They have to rush Baron quick now, then.
They want to try and force.
Rumble will just kind of fry them.
Watch this Rumble, small rules.
But it's melting with double AD carries.
Canyon, can he get into the pit?
Altie coming in fighting.
There's the smolder.
Where's the Rumble?
Ooh, their health box.
Not the worst.
Perhaps he used redemption, though.
Nice flash from Light.
Why didn't he go on to his lens?
They couldn't get him. He is finished.
Light's got a good position here!
Choby?
Ah, he's got some of them.
Pace down, die.
Choby?
Choby, die!
Light didn't die to execute, and the roots hit Pace!
They got Baron.
It's a 2v3.
They're gonna lose soul.
Jinx is gonna get six items, but they're gonna lose internal soul.
Ah, they got Baron, but it's not good.
also for themselves and wow what a back and forth the craziest thing about that last team fight
Daisy got a three man knocker like I really hope we get to see a replay of that one because it
was a chaotic team fight chobi with an ambitious flash to shut down light and he almost got the
execute but he died just before he was able to get enough damage and surely a full charge
Yeah, this fight, this, the smaller rumble of the redemption, which negated a lot of the damage, and Crisp Insta died, but I think LaHen's a bit too deep here.
He gets Jinx flash, but he ends up dying to the Jacksolt.
Chovy one shots the Luton. He can't finish light though.
Who wins six items Jinx with Ivern or this comp from Gen.G? I think this comp from Gen.G wins with Infernal Soul, Hardcore.
And it's a six item smolder. Ivern helps the Jinx a lot, but I think smolder is just gonna be 2-0 B now.
Smolder lost his AT ratios, but you just don't go Leandru's anymore. You just play the crit build.
Jinx also has no flash.
carry meadow well it's just not that much utility yeah like few stuns that like what
there's a route there's a slow there's a stun like this or ad build rather both sides dancing
that's why positioning is so crucial if you overstep you're gonna get one shot but now things
become much harder for way but you're so annoying due to the presence of this infernal soul
on the side of gen g he thought small to hurt before well now he just hurts a lot more and so
So, navigating these fights is not a good job.
I mean, there's so many abilities in this game that I think it's necessary to end this
games rapidly.
Right?
There's no cleanse on light right now.
Hostile takeover.
I think the 80 carries here likely means they instantly kill their team.
Yes, Tarzan does have access to the Mikaels, but it's going to have to be quick with
it.
Now, the opposite side, Papiol, right?
If Chris can knock the carry out of the fight again, I guess Lucian needs
to die and then descend this.
Yeah, Page went for the GA.
day. Longest game, no the longest game is sport 5 minutes game already. Just show who
have I, I think they're falling for it. You know it doesn't have it yet. Malkai, Small
There's Mikael's
Yeah, Gengi just have to wait for Baron
Grau who's basing the CFIE, he's peeling the base
Yeah, he does
He's pretty strong now
Max HP this free vision control is still just so massive for Genji
It's the setup around the next mission books here much easier. We are two minutes away
It feels like it's probably going to come down short of some sort of sign lane pick. Yeah elder or a baron fight
Crazy the role in the old game three there's five more games
D-plus Kia after this one, which you know you thought that engaging was a problem in this game
I'll tell you engaging every problem in that day
The Baron does spawn a bit earlier right so JG can't just look to rush it, it's not like
they're giving up too much position, it was a bit closer in timing so it's harder to do
that.
They're triple Randwins.
Yeah, okay. Well, Brian, it's like if you guys had figured this out three times ago, we wouldn't have had to take 80s out of mid lane entirely.
Okay, so it's JG once again with control of a mid wave. Unsurprisingly, Breedpud's itself in a sidelane pushing.
The Jack's trying to get some work done. If they can continue to stall, which they're doing a good job of so far, they can even put some pressure onto that tier two.
But Keen is gonna go and answer
Some are all up
Yes, no grubs. So
555 full strength from both sides. I asked for a leave tomorrow at work. You're such a generous
See rumble respond feel confident. They could step forward as a four-man core
20 seconds on the Baron
Amended on the elder elder the great equalizer no matter what lead you think you have
Team gets elder pretty much instantly start winning fights
What is we were doing that's not threatened some kind of bot porch to pull Gen G away from the Baron
From my pickings
He knew there to defend about
TP mid for RuneShin, Chovy stanking the Jax and I see that, so Weibo have bit of position.
No one has engaged.
The cameraman stresses me out when he zooms in like that.
The smolder has...
Bree just got clicked by Keen.
I think
That's keen water over the wall or flash from the hands to force crisps flash
He got the base off. It's an elder flip
It's an elder flip chat. Yeah, who doesn't have TP. I think it's just done. So isn't it?
This is so done. So they're gonna get the elder guys on the way in rumble equalizer
You got interrupted by the henceq for Chris pay starting to step up all the coming in from chobi. I'll take over life
They're gonna commit on the jinx here, maybe
My pickings are saved
My pickings are saved
To close it out here. Yes
Melt away way bow as the elder was enough to secure the fight
God for that once again five for zero and it took a while
Well, that was a very slow game. Jesus.
Alright chat, now it's time for Fnatic Dunlop.
No, that's going to be a degenerate game.
Take down Weibo.
A close back and forth between Gen.G and Weibo.
Hold on, let me go change my shirt, BLV1's on.
Let's quickly toss it over to the analyst desk.
Thank you so much, Petty.
Of course, you need to keep your energy in check
for this long day, but exactly Gen.G, even
up the score again between the LCK and the LPL
with their victory.
And they did it by saying, we don't care about patch 14.18.
We can't read it.
No, we were picturing.
Our entire top side will be the Nerf drum ball, the Nerf Maw guy, the Nerf Smolder, but that
doesn't always mean everything.
No, it certainly doesn't.
I think the Genji macro is still very much prevalent, despite how many issues they had
in the early game in terms of finding a gold lead, they still found the six drops.
They didn't.
They found not just the first, but the second dragon as well, and you just put them
in such a position where they have such a late game composition, but they were
allowed to have that late game composition because there was nothing
waiting to accelerate the game even further. They had to sit around, get that
fur drake, still lose to fight and it was just so back and forth.
Yeah, I mean Gen.G was this patient and it felt, I mean it really felt
demoralizing because you could just see the stack coming up.
You're like, oh god, we're actually getting to the 500 stack mark. This is
the type of game we're having. How did they actually kind of come back into it?
And it felt like they had to find some sort of play, but even when
when Smulder was topside they were just getting covered by canyons so I was like yeah, I don't
know about this one, is this Gen G though? Like is this really going to be Gen G at Worlds?
It might be.
I hope this is maybe there, let's try this first.
I hope so. I hope this is like we're don't want to give away anything. We got our new
picks for later rounds of Swiss when it really matters.
Are you not pleased?
I'm actually not because that was tense.
That was tense.
What do we always say about the LCK?
They might not come in the sharpest with the best meta reads,
but the later you get into tournaments, they rank up.
This one, you just got to win it, Jack.
I mean, true. And at the same time, you think about how much better this would have been a month ago.
Like, they would have really downed it this game a month ago.
They would have crushed them.
Yeah, if the champions are actually strong.
So in that case, it's impressive.
But I just, I really don't like the meta read.
I understand why you're going to play what you're comfortable with in the first day of World Swiss.
Swiss, but I think as like them and BLG and HLE are the three tournament favorites
Yes, and that did not look like a type of performance. It's gonna win worlds
I know that's a high bar and they did win and we should be celebrating
That's a long way off for sure
I want to see a little bit of after games
Alright, let's see if Keen has asked about that in the Verizon postgame
La la la
La la la
And welcome back to the World's Swiss stage for this Verizon postgame
Introduced here with Keen and Yonatan, thank you so much for training me
This game was messy in terms of I don't I don't quite understand what is the meta right now because neither of you guys had hard engage
It felt like the game was really difficult to close out. What is your take on the meta right now and this game overall?
I'm very curious about the meta now. This game was really a difficult game.
And both teams didn't have a chance to win a game, so both teams finished the game, but it seemed like they were a bit weak.
How about Gen.G's meta now?
It's our first game, so we don't know what the opponent is going to do, so we decided to pick a good champion.
We wanted to learn more about the meta.
We're also unsure what champions, what kind of strategy the opponents are going to bring, so we wanted to focus on the picks that we're thinking that's really good.
Also, I think we're still in the stage of kind of reading out the meta.
Of course. First day are absolutely understandable.
But in that sense, let's talk about Rumble.
Because the expectation was Rumble was not going to be a strong pick coming here at Worlds.
It was picked during the playing stage.
You played it today and added a lot of impact.
How would you rate the champion right now?
I'm curious about your opinion on Rumble.
Many people may not be able to play Rumble anymore, but the playing stage has been released.
You showed Rumble today as well.
How do you feel about Rumble?
At first, there was some damage nerf, so the lane phase has become weaker.
But the more items you have, the more damage you have.
So I think it's a card that you can use to match the game.
is a little affected. The laning phase is not as strong, but also I still think that as he picks up more items,
he's almost the same as the old Rumble, so looking at the comp, you think Rumble is right, you can go for it.
Alright, the champion we could see more than here at Worlds. Last question for Yuuki, and you're one of the tournament's favorites,
but I want to know about the synergy between you guys. How has Lehen been treating you recently?
what?
why he being so weird?
why do I feel like there's tension?
guys relax, it's fernik damwon, shut out there
hold on one second
RUNNING THE ELGAR IS TAKEN DOWN IN INSTITUTELY
AND THE PLINK OF AN EYE FOR A GENGINE

Why is there a meme so strange for them?
Who gives you wheeze?
See that?
It's fucking hot in here.
Wait, Planet or Gen Gen? What the fuck?
I'm a streamer for Planet.
I'm part of the Planet fan.
I'm a European blood.
Relax.
Come take a breath together. Ready? One, two, three.

Wow. You're being strange.
The Damwon Jersey is right here.
There we go. We need more of this attitude in the chat.
I believe you Mark. Okay, you wouldn't like me.
We need more of that attitude.
What is Phenetic Tweeting?
There's nothing!
There's nothing under the Jersey.
There's nothing.
Hey, relax.
Hey, Phenic. Listen.
And hey, I love that one. They're my favorite team, but I also love Fnatic. They're my beloved.
This is the host game breakdown of our previous game, Gen.G versus Weibo.
GP describe it in five words.
Five, one, two, three, four, five. Wait, that's six because it's five, two times.
That was a really bad guess.
Yeah, it's when you said use five words, my brain already goes into, I don't know, nothing.
But that game was a roller coaster, and that was ten, as we said.
We got outscaled!
Oh, they didn't have any, you know, pick potential with that.
It's sad, it's sad.
But hey, it's time for something really, really special.
We've got a double feature up in our cinema.
We're gonna watch, I think, two amazing movies that are incredibly back and forth.
We're gonna start with Fnatic versus Diploskea,
and then we're going into TL versus LNG.
I mean, in terms of kind of storytelling, impossible, passion, and back and forth.
I love cinema.
It has it all.
It should.
Absolute cinema believe in the show. Yeah
GB, you know this like both these teams you've lived it especially from fanatic side
I mean definitely left side we've failed at multiple times before I mean I already love this because the Twitter slogan the teams are going for as well
So I think this not only reflects what they want to prove here at the world championship
But it also kind of reflects their play style from fnatic. It is absolute cinema. It's back and forth
It's a plotline. You're not expecting and I remember seeing the
All of the PGB's we had from the G2 series as well if you remember back to summer finals not season finals
But also a little bit but summer finals specifically for people that have missed it. Yeah, I mean it was a tragedy
This is fanatic second seed and the LEC second seed. That was a bad intro. I said it was a tragedy
This is LEC second seed fanatic Oscar in and razor humanoid Noah and June and we will
Talk a little bit more about kind of what our issues were with fanatic
I feel like this year, but we will also introduce LCK's third seed in the plus Kia with Kain Lucid showmaker aiming and moham
And I think our
Traffidation comes from the fact that if fanatic was 10% better in the entire year
They probably would have won one of the titles that they were in contention for but in crucial games
They couldn't drive it home
And I feel like the same thing goes for D plus Kia and saw their game. It's one of those things
I mean you can see it on your screen right here that if you can't finish a game domestically
You have a lot of question marks when you start going into the international stage because when you play against the best of the best teams
They know how to solve it your bad early game and make sure you can win through make a great macro
What are you doing with that?
Through mid to late game
But one of the things that you don't believe in suddenly is when there's a team that starts throwing these things
You need to be able to know how to close out a game when you plan against the best of the best
Yeah, and it's frustrating one and that's the thing like you've already talked about it from fanatic side
how unpredictable they can be because they can get that early game league
that thing else is a movie like I for me watching in North America I don't know
what I can get out of a fanatic versus G2 or fanatic versus anyone for that
matter and for dumb for DK plus like the process for me my brain's not
working properly but for D plus the thing for them is the same kind of
storytelling they have incredible individual players for me Lucid has
It's been so fun to watch and you know, ShowMaker is as much of a playmaker as you can get,
but then the leads they have, you just can't expect them to hold it.
No, that's the thing because that one has kind of been the team in the LCK as well where
it's fallen apart in that mid to late game session.
They've had some oopsies as well where they're kind of just,
I showed them that one.
They're looking around, looking at their opponent, then we start a fight, or maybe it wasn't
the best.
Yeah.
So I think there's a lot of fans coming into this game who's going to feel like
Static is going to get completely dumpstered and they're definitely coming in as underdog
against D plus for sure but it's one of those things where D plus is not perfect
team either. They're a team that also has had some issues with the meta as it
currently was at the LCK domestically. I think the hope for a lot of LCK fans though
is that they are gonna be more comfortable coming into the mid lane
meta that's now happening with Lucid who's already been a great jungler
surrounding showmaker 2. The 2v2 from the mid lane is gonna be what I'm
having my eyes on today because I think it's gonna be defining the
series. It absolutely is. I mean I think bot is also gonna have
something to say about it but you did mention the meta and we have to talk
about showmaker being back in the fact that he had a pretty miserable time in
the ADC meta right the return to kind of what he is known for could be a big
boon for D plus KIA. Yeah I mean he literally named his account
Syndra like he is ready for it and you can already see both these teams are
ready for it. The boys. Let's watch the movie. The boys.
voice here we are for the cinema for the show movie the movie baby let's get it
there's already loud let's go
up against DK and no not Donkey Kong D plus Kia although they're actually here
for the draft I'm nervous Chad I'm nervous Chad I can't do this I'm too
nervous
I'm always gonna quote it more of a
I mean, this is the game. I'm genuinely been the most excited about which worries me a bit because I'm like about overhyped it
You're being weird you are there's nothing on this earth. Would it be a movie if someone had an over
You've got two teams that have incredible talent domestically
They've showcased they've been able to compete with the best the region has to focus on the game
But their macro is back, it results in sexy bans, crazy side lanes, flip-flop dives, it's all sorts of chaos, and we think back to the summer season ending for Fnatic, the fact that they didn't get a single win against GZ.
What's wrong with smiling? I'm happy. It's a good series.
In contrast to D plus Kia, who recently had a nail bite at best of five against T1 and it was a spectacle for sure.
So that's the impression that people have of both of these organizations.
And so I'm excited to see...
Mega Base chat. Mega Base. Good series.
For the purpose of entertainment, I hope they haven't improved at all.
But obviously we want to see these teams get better.
But we want to see them adapting to the metamore with majors returning into the mid lane obviously the previous game
It's not a great indicator of that and we're hoping that that doesn't set any precedent for the rest of the tournament
And look I'm gonna say is I feel like the best version of both these teams
Riding that mid jungle 2v2. Oh, yeah
To close it out the game and that doesn't always been the cleanest version, but like you look at showmaker lucid
That is actually much better with a morning chat to go showmakers ready to go
It's a similar story for Razor can keep my yes, but I could try playing towards violin
You're Mr. Cocodile
Wait, 100 gifted?
Are you ill?
100 gifted?
100 gifted?
Yo Chat say thank you
We're fucking ballistic
Chat say thank you if you go along
Yo thank you so much for that
Wow!
Another 50 guys stole gifting holy shit
He's had some incredible games that you have to get
100 things for 50
I can't say thank you if you got something
I'm coming into today's best spot
And we'll see
That's the team that has been very defined by momentum
For so much of this year right
When they're in a good mood to do a good headspace
You can tell they play well
We're into the draft
So the importance of this first one is not a series
We don't play against tomorrow
You're going to have to pick it first.
What about Shoemaker's Leblanc?
What about Shoemaker's Leblanc?
Shoemaker, Syndra, Shoemaker, Leblanc.
They dodged. They dodged.
I don't use it.
His two most played across his career at least in Fire, right?
And we've seen how effective I can be in the meta.
The Aurora Band gonna come to you.
Ivern Band.
Aurora Band.
Is Fnatic first picking Sinja away from Shoemaker?
The respect being shown to you.
He'll pick it.
He'll pick it.
Plus Kia, round things out on their sides.
Skana still available, Ashe still available.
As you're listening, we've seen Noa lean on a lot, especially when he's looking
to try and play more on the weak side and Fnatic have more of a mid focus.
Ben and they're laughing it's going to be the small removal they saw the
Indra Yone's up you know we don't want to see humanoid that possibility
the Yone's fine pick coming from the Yone first pick
hey we don't typically see it from Oscar we did see a few games of it from
humanoid throughout the season finals yeah and it was one of the big
improvement points for Finan- no Dumbledore going to get Skarner
Syndra no no no is that good very few options
compared to the rest of the league, but had a fantastic glove on the Yone, now going to be the prioritized first pick.
Obviously, a champion that everyone has high expectations of, picking it up in terms of being given over.
At the very least, the Skarner, high priority, I'm going to say jungle pick, but technically a flax can be taken top lane as well.
What's Razor going to do with the Yone situation?
This Yone pick is definitely interesting for them to want to boost.
R1-2
What's wrong with smiling chat it's a good series
Zyra Yone
Renekton, ooh I like it. I like it. They're definitely no syndrome though, right?
the world championship but razzle saying i think it's still good yeah showmaker cindra classic
the strong top side is the humber from showmaker showmaker i think it's much of it's really good
for the cindra by the way it's interesting because before he came to e us solo queue and named
himself cindra he had an interview with cry the esports with ashley where he said actually i
think it's only good in like a couple circumstances and it's not that great the e cool down sucks
What? They went Ezreal?
They're dropping showmaker. What did he have? Yes, Syndra, Leblanc and...
He has a third. He has a third somewhere. Maybe like a Kali or something?
Now comes here from the side of the plus here
Showmaker a guy who was vocal about not being super comfortable in the double AD meta AD with an AP jungle
I also didn't fit lucid. I think the best the guy who likes to be on these much more proactive playmakers
So would be a shame for him to come in on a new patch a new tournament have to go right back to ADs
And then we'll see though what they want to go
Silas, he's not gonna play Silas
Both the more lane dominant options taken away
Probably the bad now from...
Oh, well, he has LeBlanc easy now. He has an easy LeBlanc on 4
Maybe they're not enthusiastic about the gym. I could probably pay kaiser kaiser well kaiser north kaiser
We've already seen what can happen if you don't have that engage and so far did this get already lacking on that front
We've both the scarner and the Nara available. They could lock in the Ralph for themselves. Yeah, there it is
Classical maker
You dumb on drafts pretty stacked
They must be Kaisa and ult here, but they're against Ezreal and Braum, I think, in the next spot here.
Braum is okay, it's not the best.
Not the best.
Kai'Sa, well, yeah, no shocker
Jin
Chat, I'm gonna run ads, if you wanna run ads, you can use your tier 1 or 2 for him, you don't have to sub if you don't want to, you'll be back for a game start, here's the big kiss
I appreciate it when he does sub
I think the Fnatic draft is a bit, it's good though, it's good drive, it's just not good lockdown onto the Blanc Ezreal.
I'll see you guys in a sec, much love, appreciate all the subbers, you'll have no subbers, no Ezreal as a world of subbers.
You look like you're sweating a bit, nah I'm okay, I'm okay.
Why do they have to play against each other in round 1?
Why do they have to do that then?
How annoying is that then?
Yeah, Tanks comes really good. It's just it lacks lockdown versus the Blanc Ezreal. It does.
They lack so much lockdown.
I wonder how good humo is. I'm surprised they didn't take a brown by trying to go nautilus
but maybe they could take extra nautilus, they're reliant to it.
Bankjores in the back, respect.
Respect.
Fix the camera, what's wrong with it?
You accept it in the middle?
There you go.
You should be excited as well. I'm hoping we get a lot of brawls and a lot of fighting.
Our team's making their way out onto the Rift already.
D.F.S.K.Y.A.
They keep that presence known and the Fnatic bot side jungle.
And I like this. Overall, early contests on the raptor spawn, knowing the brawn gives them the much stronger level 1.
How has it been a year since we've been here with Webo G2?
Why do these teams have to play in the tournament? Why does Fnatic have to play in the tournament?
There are my two favorite teams in the tournament. How stupid is that?
Stupidest that wireless riot put them in the first fucking game
They can't rematch though right chat?
Once they play once they can't rematch ever right?
Unless it's top 8
Fnatic going for the Schwab. I think I might be like a really yes the game
I'm not sure what we'll need to see. We're new to Fnatic.
Hopefully we don't throw leads.
Hopefully.
Hopefully we don't throw leads, hopefully.
Hopefully we don't throw leads, hopefully.
I think it might be really fast to game.
I'm not sure we need to see where new Fnatic, hopefully, we don't throw leads.
And then he said, hopefully, one more time.
Which I'll undermind, I think, a little bit the sense of it he was trying to say, but
Fnatic aware of their own chaotic team, aware of some of the struggles that they've had.
I think it is a similar story.
For DK, D plus Q on the opposite side is...
We've now got the 2v2. Those range creeps are good for Marek Graska.
I don't know, they're not gonna let Rel re-enter bot.
I don't know if June will get the bot lane time to cover the dive.
He cropped Aster shock with the plant as well.
Oof, they might get murdered under this tower.
The TP can come in from Oscar. He can catch that wave.
Looks like that was on a little bit of a dive.
It's really awkward though, because his aftershock was propped by him hitting the blast cone, I believe.
On the mohawk.
There's the TP from Osterini.
Which means if anyone hits him, he is likely dead, but Oscar is here.
Oscar should get level 3.
He's gonna take over to level 3 off of this.
He's taking his time.
And Osterini gets level 2. Nice. Saved.
He didn't get the XP. He wasn't in range.
Ooh, he had the Q. He had the W out there.
Oscar, can you live this?
Oscar?
Oscar!
Oscar is making this dive easy as Oscar tries to make it out of safety.
Oh, rail flashed in front of this corner! Huge flash by Juni!
Level 2, block!
Foreman recall into a match here.
That is not good for Phenomenon.
The blocks from June were good.
Block on the E, I mean that month's hour that I was pretty clean.
And a juggle here, from Lucius.
Even doesn't have to flash
Wait, they didn't even use any flash on that bot dive, salmon. They just used Ignite
Aiming early game lead is dangerous. I don't know, I feel like Leblanc Estreol's too mobile for Flam's comp like Zyra sucks into Leblanc Estreol
What does he do?
Yone lost flash as well, yeah.
He can't walk up.
Why are you saying such a clean fuck off?
that monica for so long without any results to back of the statement like that
I need some good team fighting here
because that was kind of the saving grace of some inconsistencies in his performance
was that when it mattered he did show up if that's no longer there
uh you know so this can't be a big test in him as well like so far he
started off the lane pretty well you can see the stacked wave that he's
gonna have to catch underneath the towers d plus kia already gonna secure
that track pushing for fanatic there plus can now base and
KSW, basic trade for Grasp
Marek Grasp, he's playing Fleet, I think Grasp's on play on this lane, right?
Even though the tank's in us, we'll be nice to constantly proc it
Come on Frank, lock him, lock him
Oversteps here
Yeah, you locked in or not
Lucid a bit of a risky
Two gross attack not bad
an aggressive choice but does at least pay off a little bit
notice though that while all the chaos has been happening in the other game and
D plus Kiya have been able to find these advantages
Ratsuk's level 6, he's just been power farming his way through the other game
and already with that ultimate available, it's in a very scary spot
Fnatic swap their bot lane to top
gonna unlock some plates for themselves
the idea was here you swap and then be in a position to secure the ground
so as Lucio already started then they're already able to do that
The swap is going to be matched.
Yeah, swap is okay, but...
I can't really gain even the swap.
His matchup mid is not good.
more attack speed and more magic resist but for now we'll walk still very much
running the show, Oscar able to push in King in but you can see Lucid there to
support ready to punish if Oscar overcommits. And so far nothing too
crazy outside of that initial dive. DeepLisky did a really good job of you
know reacting to the lane swap as you're supposed to ultimately when
you get to that point of the dive it all comes down to execution and they
were able to out execute that of Fnatic and in terms of the other
Objectives though, it's pretty even lucid now with the level six himself as full players continue to come across the board
John is
On the top side is showing it's a very nice trade. You're seeing it is over game
How far away it's a flash out Q3 there for you
That's a kill maybe the flesh from razor King
Come on man
Come on man. I'll play from the main jungle of D plus Kia
Ultimately it was a bit of an over-commitment. Fnatic were a bit disconnected on the play
because Razzle couldn't quite get in range in time, which meant that he wasn't able to
land that...
They lost Zyra flash, Rell flash. They didn't have the damage.
Got the Blanc flash and lost the kill.
...was pulled underneath the tower, and the chains connected as well. The tower shots
were enough to trade back the kill.
And what's frustrating there is that while John was there for the play, that was
a 2v3 where Fnatic and Mohan were in the game, and you can see now the price
of that play is that aiming and mohan just get to get two plates uncontested as Noah is forced under
tower he's gonna need to reset soon only half his life bar remaining two kills now for lucid this
gun is gonna become a very serious problem with the right screen is up and go pushing the top
side for the bot lane of dk as they secure themselves a few more plates lucid coming can go
through the wall they don't have good vision coverage don't have tp though as soon as he
He uses the ish dog. No, I mean shit kind of hard to dive step up here at all. They'll be in trouble
But Razor is there. So you wish hello mods
slowly, but surely
You can't just building feed off to leave. They're just finding these small opportunities the lanes are going their way as well
The farm is just slowly starting to build up in their favor
And again like it comes back to what we talked about in the regular season
You have no one to blame for this but yourselves. What do you mean me? How was I supposed to know that they're gonna play against each other?
You know, early game leads something that they're not strangers to. It's the mid game where sometimes we see some questionable decisions
So to find themselves with a lead like this, you should have a surprise.
I saw the static shift clone bounces are like really appear some shit. Those are posts about clones. The Blanc has a clone.
When they start setting up around these barons playing for the neutral objectives.
And how often can we respond? Because truthfully, Fnatic's macro is one of the biggest question marks to them.
should mock to them. Definitely has. Can always be difficult when they fall behind.
Noah has finished the statics so we'll be able to at least match a bit more of the wave
clear that aiming can bring to the table which is ultimate.
Now they're losing Drake. Now I got five Grubzo. In a much better position to do so,
but it will at least this time...
But they have two mini solo laners, so hitting towers is kind of impossible. They get
some plate top Kaisa. For the threshold again, that really matters and they'll
be able to grab it. If Drake is killing a throne, it doesn't
Are you sure?
It's not important about the numbers of it.
Also, there's been no Cloud Souls or Dragons all day. Absolutely bugged it.
Yes, Flash.
Oh my...
Why is that Snipe from Skarner?
I thought it would be aiming that finds the Q-Connect, but by Jordan blocking that projectile, he couldn't block the projectile from Lucid.
A nice angle comes in from the D-plus gear jungler, and he's gonna put 3 on the board, 4-0 now, the kill-square favor of DK.
Lucid 3-0?
What?
A good position as well to make sure the humanoid could not use that ultimate to get out for free.
DK now, positioning that pressure topside. Showmaker already pushing in, and this is such a comfort zone for DK.
There's no flash Razor. It's mega fucked here, or?
They have Kaisel. Actually could be a big fight for them.
No joke. They have to hold in here. They have to hold in.
Kaisel, where is he going?
There's no way they're all out here. That's absolute trap. Skarner's 100% dead.
They get one kill.
Maybe he will not TP spot them this time.
Which one's the real sure maker root is there and show maker will just dash out to safety
It's gonna execute. Are they really not gonna get anything? Is he gonna get the execute?
John
Actually, that's not serious right kills for fanatic
DK they're able to get the kill on to John they're able to spread out and they walk away without giving over anything to fanatic
3k now the gold lead in the early game and Fnatic are very quickly falling apart
but couldn't kaisa just ult in somewhere anywhere completely unafraid
they don't have a proc on anything I swear I saw like 10 cc's
but this is a terrifying position only Noah and Razor have completed an item
thus far you've got Triforce Ludin's heart steel on the three middle
members of DK it's gonna be really tough for them to contest anything and
It's a minute away from the hell.
They need to go, man. They need to go.
They are just being brooded in the early game.
He hit E?
By just Lucid's presence being everywhere on the map.
He's been involved in every single kill that DK have been able to find for themselves.
They have a 2.5k gold lead, and it's just evenly spread across the map.
Even the Brawler has a 600 gold lead.
I don't think that one's important.
That one's less important, obviously.
But, uh, Kingen, he is a full level down.
I wasn't keeping track of how he ended up falling so far behind.
But ultimately he's still gonna have value and relevance with these fights coming up
And also we already talked about it Renekton up against the Braum
Well Renekton had to find a way to fight Drake without TP's
Especially with how strong Lucid is this frontline is gonna be so difficult for Fnatic to find their way past
And if Kusov blows Braum's pass, it's just a different way
If Fnatic GD wants to die, you can't throw this and not DK them for a fifth
You will eventually get stunned no matter what you do, it's humanoid
It's a soul unbound back Q3
We tried to set up some control on the bottom side of the map, but you can see in the mid lane Noah slowly getting pushed in aiming with a pretty clear range.
You're making me out of play here, the pressure is obviously stuck on the mid power.
Jon and Razor debating if they want to go for a play here. Some resources burned on the bottom.
Oh, no!
Noah trying to start things off with the aiming, but there is Lucid waiting, trying to hand deliver. Noah, watch him over to get the kill! At least gets the one for one!
Not bad, they killed Bram on both.
As he does end up trading one for one in the mid lane, and Lucian not been there, maybe he could have got more favourably for him.
Meanwhile on the block side of map, Kingen getting zoned away from his tower.
A showmaker finding advantages from himself from the top side, pushing Oscar in and out of the lane.
But the Herald still gonna go in the way, going favour, sorry, of D plus Kia.
You can see here in the, in the Kongi snapshot.
Ah, it's pretty favourable right now.
The side of D plus Kia Oscar and getting something back, but again getting I hate games like this
I hate I hate games like this. Hopefully he'll be able to stick to those targets is
But then I go first one tower that top side thread
Only have one grub, but still putting so much pressure down
I think when it comes to expectation setting right we talked about how TK should come in as the favorites
While they can't be a chaotic team so far this game is largely been very clean
And look, we talked to Chronicle, and the thing Chronicle said is,
if you want to understand if you care when you're in the game,
what's the conclusion is?
Chronicle has a big choice, and I want to keep it objectively.
There's a Drake spawning, and they just team top-tier one.
Take a look back at this sequence.
There was a pick on side.
This was during the Noa 1v1.
Do you know what it was?
At least able to kill Baham.
Where are they in the replay?
A valuable and much needed kill as well,
as Fnatic continued to fall further and further behind.
They're taking top-tier one, they're dropping Drake.
Razzle getting zoned out! Razzle against the left, don't make her now chasing!
He's not dead.
He's not dead.
I can't fight Drake, they're on soul points, which means Razzle just barely gets away with his life, but the mid-tire still goes down.
Human ulti!
They get bot tier one, they get mid tier one, they get mid tier two.
They're not going to slow down here, they still have the Herald, and they want to put some pressure down onto this C2 vision.
Yes, five grubs.
But they don't have any damage!
They have the Blanche, you beef a cop.
Trying to get DK to back off, take your time, aiming will knock down the tower.
And now with the push and bought they can smoothly rotate over to the dragon
This is gonna be the third one macro
PUNCH EM
Keep his pressure into the top lane as king and commits the TP to try and stop him
Knock up there from here
Now TP is more coming in from Fanatic is gonna be 2v2 on the top side
Oscar is here as well they're trying to lock up showmaker
Turning as much damage as possible Oscar taking the top lane
We're deleted
Now Humanon is going and trying to get showmaker
Oh my god
I'm here to interrupt
Oh my god
Fanatic Q3 back at the very least gets a kill
And I still lose straight though.
I feel really bad though, like,
every single one of these fights from Fnatic is a horror.
What is this?
Every fight is actually just unlucky as fuck.
Eh?
They know that they're not in a position to contest the dragon, so instead they go for the cross-map.
Once, once Showmaker TP's in to help defend that top tower, it's a 2v2, but Fnatic just over-forced.
They're convinced that they're able to one-shot Showmaker, but they just don't quite have the damage instead of Oscar Loose.
But! Control 8-game lead if you don't get ahead.
They still able to kill King and because Razor and Juna are able to make their way up towards the top side.
Ultimately, they get the top tower, but they still find themselves about two and a half, nearly three K.C. all down.
Well, now DK are on soul point, which is very terrifying to me, and I'm against Leblanc and
Ezreal also double scary, as Amon continues to be relatively unfazed in the mid lane.
No, it did find that all in, but it was still very close even without Lucid getting
involved.
See what the setup on the next objective is going to look like, two minutes, tell
that Baron, can't imagine that either team is going to rush for it, and Oscar just
shepherding in this bot lane wave.
What is that clipper?
What?
I think the game's over. I actually don't think that I can win. It's unwinnable. They have Yone Kaisa, Zyra against Leblanc Ezreal.
Enemy team has two blinks, slash dashes against Yone Zyra. They have more range, they have poke, they have better frontline, they have better side lanes.
They're on soul points.
I just... It's unwinnable.
Ironically, no curse. Completely unwinnable.
If they had a Northlist, maybe it was playable, but Braumnastik and the Northlist is already GG as well.
Maybe they can make some magic though.
The Blanc no flash.
If somehow Rel can Q flash the Blanc, she has no mercs on.
Ulter W, I don't know.
And it's the game slipping.
Actually, the most unlucky thing for Fnenec would be to lose this game and then go into the draw at the end of the day and then throw T1.
Oh my god.
That would be mega-cooked.
Please don't do that.
This is the problem when strong teams face each other in the first round.
a lot of the CC or the side of Fanatic makes it easier to make it to the top.
Maybe that is something they can leverage to try to find a better or more favorable fight.
Baron's now on the board, DK with really solid topside control, strong side laners as well.
I mean this Ezreal is spiking so hard right now as well, that's one of the
most concerning things. I think Noh is still quite a ways off.
Second someone rides over me, I have the left.
From the Rageblade.
And it's really tough to play this one out because even if you do get that Rageblade,
Right mom is there and you're in such a lead for the side of DK that you really can't just save that unbreakable
But when Noah does decide to go in or Razor tries to burn all those cool downs
Two out of three on a is a big breakpoint
Strive breakers are probably strong. I like
Maybe that is enough, but so far this time thinking of three letters
I've really just been running the show and I have not been able to find a fight
That's very favorable for them at all right now
You're all fucking bullseats crazy
Enable a humanoid to farm on a side lane which on the one hand is fine
But dragons a minute away you're gonna be shifting your perspective towards that objective
You cannot afford to give soul over towards a Leblanc and an Ezreal. Yeah one minute on soul
That's my breast I have stridebreaker maybe picks top way if he has it
The rate plate now finish for no which is a good upgrade I
Think there's a second Zyra walks up to lose their flesh complete the stridebreaker before the fight
They're essentially uneven footing in terms of item completion. That is what matters
I don't believe it's all these XP relatively close.
If Phenonix can somehow win this Drake fight, the nice old point to get Mithra won, the game is playable.
But with all these seconds, and they have no setup right now.
But I have a feeling that they're just going to wipe, or they're going to poke down, and they're going to be TPing back from the fight, they'll be late.
Okay, is that the stride raker completed?
No. Yes it is. Okay, so this is what they were waiting for. They're now going to be, I mean, it's the best circumstance to try and take a fight,
But now they've got to make their way into the river, which is gonna be no easy feat
They were always gonna be at a disadvantage there to choose between set up or itemization. The poke is crazy
Leblanc WQE will be tricky. The showmaker just lingering constantly harassing
The poke's too much
An attic moving in observer showing us the vision they see really nothing. Oh
She didn't she lost vision there. That was actually really good. That was so unlucky for your maker
I mean, I'm gonna get this.
That's the best thing they could ask for.
Oh, he stole it!
What?!
Okay.
Slow it down.
That was a monster smite.
They don't have a side gameplay here.
No shot, they have no ults.
DK could force Baron here and get double TP out of Fnatic.
I didn't know on Bram.
Okay, so Fnatic by 5 minutes. We'll take 5 minutes.
If Kaisa can get Nashor, she can actually poke back a little bit.
Why is he saying Wii? Question mark.
Why is he saying Wii?
DK not really a strong enough to do the jersey thing or I knew that health bar quickly would take quite a lot of time
And both TPs are available for the fanatic soul laners. So all things considered
Across the board, you know DK. Yes, they're still on soul point, but not too much more advantage
They're 2k gold lead. It's very spread out really aiming the only one with a significant individual lead
And this is turning into a pretty close game all things considered
Yeah, I mean the good news for Fanatic is the lead hasn't grown bigger right DK having successfully been able to
Converted into any additional objectives outside of the ones they were
Nice direct game. They've done some good damage onto that bot tier 2
But ultimately the arse just not close nothing. That was yet
I still stand strong. It's not going to be an easy see for them
Especially with the low-range champions of Yone and Kaisa
So they're gonna need to find a fight or some top of winning natural sky side
ASAP
23 hard steel stacks on this whole scarner
This guy is Starex by the way
Hello
Hello
They need to catch top tier 2, what is Fnatic doing?
Get out, good stuff
Good stuff
They won top tier 2
King in no flash.
Really contests humanoid either, the great thing about this Yone is to scale exceptionally well
because an absolute menace to deal with in the side lane.
And that is a decent amount of HP now as well, thanks to the stridebreaker.
Yeah, the sustain, the dash on the Q3, the ability to mitigate so much CC with the soul unbound.
It's difficult to match. Of course, Sheldonmaker probably has the tools to do it decently well, but
King is certainly going hot.
What's on that shelf?
Shut up.
I'm going to die to humanoid.
That's for sure.
Unless he fully commits everything.
I'd never be surprised if he did that.
Aiming now three items and that is a problem for the side of Fnatic.
Noah only just got the blasting wand.
Fnatic is still ready to fist fight for this setup.
He said, we'll win.
That's my fight.
Alti from aiming, chucking out Razorg.
Both sides posturing.
with humanoid playing in bottom lane he will have a bit of time to try and hit
that tier 2 never will need to have me and that side pressure and TP on that
Yone they can't hit Voltaire too much much closer DK's baron's up that fast
both teams the good side they're gonna get behind Volkwashers
and drake in one's very is kind of hard for them on to contest Narno no flash
it's really hard to put side in they're scared of baron though they're on it
wow they're all Voltaire what are they doing they all set three manning raptors
Hello?
There's three men right there!
Blow a bit!
Blow a bit!
What the fuck?
Oh no, it's DK, macro time.
I mean, I-
DK or dog shaked it, didn't have to end the game!
Get out, stumble the game!
HP and now fnatic because
I bet a position over mid giving them access to the castle. It's a mess. I
So yeah, they fished and they said, you know what this is safe enough instead. We're gonna go back to base
So we're having a pit-up on the shop
Fnatic's in a similar position as much as they can
Ingen chunked
Does have the team know it doesn't have national system straight punch. I'm gonna see get this wave on basis
No, yeah
It's just so hard to step up against Ezreal right?
He just gets hit the way for free with mystic shot. Nice. I'll base you always have to put yourself in jeopardy
It's not the best fight for Fnatic.
S-Fuel's on a mega spike.
Volume increase.
Volume increase.
They're gonna get the drake here Fnatic. The scarner's too far. How do they get control of the dragon pitted?
What?
Oh, big Engage!
Oh, now I gotta get hold of the N-Skill!
Oh no, I've got to get my gun!
I need to get down!
They could get Nash off that then.
Well, some mega Engage from Humanoid.
What? How did they even get hit by that then?
Relax.
Relax.
They need to be careful of LeBlanc here.
The TP, she can chunk out Noah easy.
Hey, Lucid, show me!
You're mine!
I'm not dead!
He's showing!
Why is he doing that? Why is there shit behind him?
Lucle Blank!
Runnig is in the dive. Here's Nesterix.
Or is he?
King is dead!
Oh, the S-Wolf's gonna hurt!
EWWWWW!
No, it's cooking though!
Everything get out, can you get out?
Braum has Q flash.
RUN! RUN, YOU RUN!
That Baron was close though!
That Baron was close!
If the S-Wolf didn't come out, they could actually put that way harder.
Oh my god.
Because Oscar could side step the denor- the no-cute.
Smile! Smile! Smile! Smile!
Smile!
Yeah, they have- this is big. The reason this is big is because they've opened some breakpoints where a poke doesn't matter now.
Pysad's poke, BX shield mo-
We have some big icons to stop the post!
Maybe mid-tier one now! Now!
Heyyyyyy!
Hey!
The side pressure trade!
Oscillus, Oscillus T2!
Oh, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
Ah, it's mega, that piece of mega fuck!
Close!
It's just a big misplay. The rest of his team is disengaging from the end.
Why is he dead? That won't get a lead, they throw! Fredrick, get barely died!
That won't get a lead, they throw! Fredrick, get barely died!
You don't need these to lock in for the sake of fanatic, because...
You don't need to lock in, you better just stay there.
All it ultimately does is neutralize the game. They're not able to convert it.
They would have loved to be able to unlock this mid tower,
because you so much more access into the enemy jungle.
But instead...
Yes!
That is what's happening!
That's someone Fredrick right there.
All right, well you can't say that it's not a banger whatever else you want to say about this game
It is a 300 gold
Baron power play or a bull Baron power play excuse me, which means they've lost
About 1,100 gold since they got that Baron which doesn't make sense because everybody
I need me to your one they have 10 seconds of barren buff
They're not really just trying to leverage. They can't get it a few seconds of barren and power
It means to push it mid, but it doesn't work mid lane tier one is still up
Betty yeah
It is hi some might have Sonya some base
Nope, she has to need this.
Ah, you know what's good for Fnatic?
One minute on Drake.
Where this is the silver linings for Fnatic casts.
Why, just for context, DeepLiskey is still winning.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's only a hundred dollars to get midtail on Drake to go in the favor of this game's over.
Oh my god, that stream was longer than my career, no joke.
Again, we have a situation where it looks very likely that D.K. are going to be first on objective setup.
Yes.
And Fnatic are going to have a long-term joke to try and contest.
And while they've gotten the last two Drakes,
Now they have to hit the poke back now. They got a bit of artillery.
30 seconds on the spawn.
Oskie don't get chunked.
He's getting chunked.
Oh, he didn't lose a stack, so...
Where's the Kaisa W? Show me.
locked on this tower
They finally secure it, but it's still D plus Kia
Everyone shut up
They're trying to fuck Winnickson Sterex
He didn't lose it
Oscar face quick
They're going to lose in front of us all here I think
They can't get in, they can't get in
Oh my god it's gone
They're TPing on it though
It's gone guys, it's gone
It's gone
We're the Xyros come play for Slip Link
But it's John with an incredible ultimate to engage followed up by humanoid that set up my god
Humanoid found that angle big time
Look at the damage from showmaker
I mean John also found the angle
John on no HB goes in, gets a three-man ulti connection
No it means he follows up, humanoid follows up
They force aiming out of the fight
And while Razork does fall, the chase comes through from Noah
He's able to get a snipe with the W
And he walks away with a triple kill
We talked about how coming into this game. I shall get the beam
I know what is showing up today. I mean he persevered
QSS on humanoid was taken early game all things considered humanoid though still
Bringing it so much damage doing so much work in those moments, and you could see aiming while he is not
Caged in terms of itemization
It's so hard for him to play fights once any piece of CC hits once he's marked it all by Noah
He really just runs out of space
Why is this game so ill?
They have extra Laplacian frontal soul.
It's fine, just gonna rush Nash.
Oh!
Oh!
Ah, it's over, it's over. Is it over?
They found another angle!
He's making a dead end, you know?
Oh, flash, flash, flash! You went up, not sideways!
Oh my god, no.
No! Oh, no! Oh, it's lost, it's lost, it's lost, it's lost.
It's lost.
It was a nice try though.
They're gonna admit it.
It was a nice try.
If you lose solvers as to the block with Triceratops, it's completely unplayable.
Completely.
Completely unplayable.
You can't move.
How do you move?
You face-check anything, you're just half HP, you have to force.
I know I played really well, don't play me with pets.
available wasn't an overstep the answer seems to be as Oscar dead way
so I'm gonna go back to court there for a few more years to get their first
100 close that's pretty good clean that's pretty good like that that's pretty
good is over D plus gear getting the better of an attic final fight a crazy
back and forth some high some lows but ultimately it's decided on a single
fight. I don't even know what to say about that one. Yone looks very good. Great moments,
questionable moments, but that's enough from us here at the Gashadetsu. I'll send it back
over to the AD to break that one down. That was a good game. Thank you so much. We promised
you absolute cinema or, uh, I forgot. I mean, they were against one of the best
teams in the tournament. You lost track, didn't you? You didn't believe. They
They were against one of the best teams in the tournament.
They were against one of the best team in the tournament.
Wasn't nice try.
Fnatic, good showing.
Look at Fnatic's tweet, what did they tweet?
What's that there?
Isn't that the back of the Fnatic jersey?
No one's getting into that one. It's definitely a rough one
But I will say I was saying at the start. It was calm control by them. If they don't have to lead
Then the problem actually became they got a lead and then suddenly what they had a lead
They started throwing but then
It was really whoever had to lead really didn't want it
AI was kind of crazy and a lot of it for me was just how Austin Yone was getting picked in fight
But here with the play, Noah and Five Guys, it was really tough for the guy who left his wicks.
He doesn't even get a burger out of it.
He doesn't.
What?
Ah, but that's...
What?
I'm gonna zag.
It's okay.
What?
This is not Noah's fault, guys.
What?
What are you telling me?
What?
There's already an infernal soul, and like, sure, this is the final fight, and people
are predisposed to say long, long, long, long, long.
What do you mean, dumb on almost through?
What the fuck are you on about?
That team was completely free from the mid-game.
I mean, they did make one mistake around the dragon, but that's it.
But that's it.
No throws.
Why did LoliSport sweep Kgill Updater?
What is that?
What is my face? It's my potchamp.
Why is everyone being so mad? Chill out everyone!
Listen, if G2 loses to Pain Gaming, we're all fucked by the way.
Thank you so much for joining me after this game.
It was a complicated one, even though you had an early lead.
What happened in game?
And also, what do you think of the damage distribution in your composition?
Because it felt like you were not dealing enough damage in the end.
I told you, I would never betray the blood.
The blood.
around the dragons but I was not too concerned about the damage because I
think we were able to use TL versus GnL all in control. I told you all on the
trailer video you were saying 2019 it was my first world I'm such a
different player now what changed mostly for you showmaker in all these
years and today's world teaser for 2019 was my first world
and I've grown a lot and you said you were a different player. What kind of
What are your thoughts on the changes you've been through in the last few years?
I've had a lot of good and bad times during the last few years,
but I think I've grown more as a pro gamer and more as a human being.
I'm confident in my team, so please look forward to it.
Throughout the numerous experience and multiple events, I was able to thrive, but also sometimes
I was struggling and I was not able to success.
And that experience helped me mature so much as a human and also as a professional player.
So I've grown so much and I'm very confident heading into this world.
So talking about this confidence, your name on the EUW server is Syndra.
You are Syndra in two of Riot's music videos.
Are you the best Syndra ad-welfter maker?
You said it.
You said it.
Yes.
Yes.
The last question that I have for you is that I remember that last time you were in Europe,
you talked about the UW server as some villains inhabiting that server.
I know you had an awful time.
Has the server been treating you nice this time?
How is solo queue for you?
How do you feel about this solo queue experience?
I haven't played for a few games yet, but they've already welcomed me so I'm really happy.
I want to meet as many players as possible.
Thank you so much for the interview, congrats on winning your first game, G-Song, thank you again for the translation, and we'll be back for game 2.
Chad, it's time for TL, LNG, come on!
I'm actually supporting TL.
Why do you question my PNChat? The West is zero wins, my cus.
We need a win!
I'm not sure I haven't seen it yet though.
Humanoid.
A feature and we're of course alluding to the fact that we hope that these will be two of the most kind of insane back and forth games of today.
Now I didn't like the first movie.
Perhaps I will like Team Liquid versus LNG.
Oh man, I enjoyed the first movie.
I'm not sure you did.
You hate her?
It had everything.
This one's also gonna have everything.
I may not like the result.
We'll see.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Let's introduce our teams.
We're gonna start with LNG.
the third seed coming out of the LPL with Zika, Weiwei, Scout, Gala, and Hengen.
I think it is very, very important here.
There was a lot of questions about whether Scout would be making it.
There was even a post that Yigao would be able to fill in for him,
but he's made it. The question would just be about how much time they've had
to practice together, how much they were preparing to play without him.
But this is ultimately the right thing, because it is the five players that qualified for Worlds.
Exactly, and he was kind of the heart and soul of the reasons why they're even here to begin with.
So it would have been tragic if, like, they couldn't play without him.
he's been playing without him,
but here he is with his crazy hair
and all and his play style.
So I'm going to be excited to see
how he performs in this game
and how the team can rally around.
Yeah, only six days, you know,
together I think at most right
in terms of the practicing,
but of course you know each other
very well then over to team liquid.
Not the first seed out of the LCS,
but the second seed will talk about
why impact empty APA,
yawn and core JJ.
Yeah, and the story very much
was this split that they had
the perfect split in the regular season.
I'm gonna play off with all the confidence is the best North American team and then a widow minion just hit the turret
A lot of it was based off this man in front of you. Well, now it's cordier J
But it's both of them cordier J and impact. Yeah, both these guys really
Listen team liquids against LNG if they can't beat NNG
It's only gonna get harder from here. So they need to at least have a good showing or beat LMG otherwise
They're fucked for the whole tournament. The MVP of this split which is crazy how long and story his career was when he was having his
MVP interview. So this is actually a pretty big game for TL. It's not like Mads who got BLG
Yes, this is a they gotta beat this one or at least look really good
The final that they did play very competitive best of five was very likely to go to game five
This team liquid almost came back in game four, but ultimately the story of their split was
Incredible windows one of the best lane swapping teams in the world
Yeah, actually with how many innovations they made throughout the split and how they really drove meta
I love the LCS and then it was capped off by impacting MVP
But he was MVP in part because the team was so cohesive in their ways of playing lane swaps
And he'd always be levels ahead of the other top leg
We just cut away from that solo kill, but he was getting a lot of them
Check in with our mastercard. It's Kiro 100 so far. Um, didn't Kiro bet T1? We'll see if the fans are realistic
Maybe we got some believers out there. Hold on. What?
I don't know if this is actually 50 50s realistic. I
I got asked to my
M&G won the votes on the Western social media. I said 40 60. Yeah, so this is actually very realistic
That's a decent chance. I'm just checking what time it is right now in Los Angeles for us to be having this
Oh, I guess NA is asleep actually.
NA is asleep I guess, yeah.
Jack, thank you all for coming out to the stream by the way. The amount of people in these co-streams is crazy.
I hope you enjoy the content.
I'm sorry if I was awkward last game, it's quite hard to do those games, you know, I don't want to upset anyone.
But, um, yeah.
It was funny though, it was funny.
Now we can lock in big time until g2 plays because we have
What's the schedule now it's TL LNG then homolite CSC
And then it's hold on let me see the homepage
And then oh it's fly quest cam g2 paying holy fuck it ramps up big time later on
It's 9 AM in NA. Chat lock in NA got a window, or it's a horror.
through their summer playoffs, obviously getting wiped out by Waybo for them to make the run.
They came through as third seed, but again, I think there were a lot of questions about
Waybo in that series and I think it was kind of a one-off when you consider how strong
the other seeds of the LPL are and how much LNG had to actually do.
They didn't watch LPL, how good is their LNG?
They had a very good summer regular season, but they bombed out of playoffs.
It's quite hard to rate their LNG.
They have very strong players though.
I think their best players are Mids, A, V, and Top.
Alright, TL, what's the draft?
Yone, Poppy, or Ben from NNG is good.
Gala in Chemsky was leaning towards Jin Jinx a little bit.
And I know TL loves their Lucian Nami.
them they almost beat T1 twice in the real take games off them. Renekton, Benning and Zika, if there
is to be one moving forward. Can we make a bit louder chat? I know that TL has been working incredibly hard
to really develop as a squad and to try to be able to do that so big time champions players.
I'm gonna be supporting TL this game. Oh they took out the Lucian Lummi. I mean you can get
Scarner here if you want it
And then G will take definitely take something like June I would imagine
Already
Gen.G draft when we look to play in day one with PSG going back to all these champions that were nerfed
CL needs to look into a mage mid here with Stoner I think
Ashe is also open if they want to play Ashe rumble and then like jungle on 3, Wukong buy
I'm curious to see what APA is going to bring out, you know there's a lot of questions on like
oh well can APA and Trimble try to work well in this meta?
I mean they have Ashe on T1, okay they got our team
I think it's really weird when people are talking about, ah you know he can only play AD carries
how are they going to be able to make it work? I'm like bro
Where are the scarner bends in my pick-up snow? That's what I'm saying.
This draft music's kind of funky.
Jack's Kaisa.
They trust me.
I mean, probably that makes sense, right?
Not really the TL no way
Okay, I mean this gives up so the problem that they have here TL is
Here energy have so many dollars step said you on
They are vines
They have a lot of champs.
So now they can picture center and ban mids.
Taliyah ban is good.
I wonder if they'll ban Sin try next.
What do you ban if you feel here?
I mean, you can try and target the jungle pool,
the best ones, but
Braum is not that big of a deal.
The enemy won't play Braum in this game.
You start getting a closer look as well.
They're taking away the Malkai.
Because I feel like Malkai seems quite high still, huh?
What wayway wants to pilot running into this Scana?
Tilly is the Banna way.
The Malkai denial from TL side as well.
Giving wayway a bit more agencies.
We know historically, especially last year on Waybo,
Alpha has a ray on soul.
I don't know if you want to play ray on soul
in Strycenter.
That sounds horrible.
He was playing a lot of set 20,
so he definitely can play that facilitative role.
Also, they play, obviously, a lot of AP junglers
They have Rell, TLCL has Rell, and they have Kaisa, Arthasar and Terrell, so they're fine on support, even though Molten's is banned.
They ban Arthasar, they're playing a guessing game here. They want them to take Rell, right?
They have all these kind of different picks that were considered to be that old style.
They want them to blind Rell.
They're going to play into Rell.
They can play Kaisa Bard?
What do they have? They have a support pick.
They've put something here to help.
There's no way it's just Kaisa Leona, right?
That doesn't make sense.
And Poppy Spen.
What is it?
Syndra Midia? No surprise.
is those four champions that are considered to be the top tier of engaged supports. Of course,
there are other ways you can go, but it will be interesting to see what Core wants to bring out
here. And he's going to go A-Soul. So their one kind of edge is that they could actually pick
potentially four 2B2 players. You know, he's in the Niko mid. This is one of the things that
Leona is to pick. Okay, I'm surprised they did that. And they did have some success with,
you know, that's pretty easy last pick here. Chat, I'm going to run ads,
As you can see, we're on a Twitch Prime sub channel, where you'll get no ads for the rest of the worlds.
We have some Northeer back for our game charts and the KISS.
What is this?
yes shut up
we've hyped up TL of course I got a zeal here so I'm going to milk it as much as I can
Kaltar!
I mean solo laners have a bit of prowess here again you're expecting to be facilitated by
Weiwei this feels about right with gala and hung playing you know bot centric duty with
with the gene with the setup duty we talked about before this feels like an lng comp
where again you look for those solo laners to be in a good spot so the lng don't
fall behind and look like headless chickens and i've got to say I have not had my
Yeah, I think both comps are good. I'm interested in this Niko mid-methodo.
Why are there no ardent supports? Engaged supports are too strong right now.
I mean, they have Kai'sa and Niko, they have Leona, they have good dive, and let's see
how the top matchup goes.
So, Frosty-Man at gnar is quickly going to set up, and everyone's playing different
styles.
Some people are playing Rumble, some people are playing Kaisa, some people are playing Niko, some people are playing Zyra still.
As they all start casting at any winning years, we're fucked.
Are you guys cooked?
In that regional finals the biggest thing about LNG for me is that
Coming out from TL. You know getting him ahead and getting him to a good spot
And he is such a great player some people paying for two teams in one match
That's when things get
Didn't be me
Absolutely, and here's a TL lane swap classic so we can talk a little bit about
You know yawn and APA in their development. So this is all provokes that they actually received
You're going back all the way to summer last year. It's just killing on T
We'll be able to farm them up.
APA, even spring this year didn't get a single point in off-road footing, and he was very
heavily the favorite and one first team off-road this split.
He has developed massively, Yana as well, got a couple points, some third place votes
and things like that in the past, but these players have just worked so hard and...
Come on, CL, you've got to get a win for the West.
We've got to win.
That's really been a big part of why this team got so much better.
core and impact they are legends they were already kind of that faces what is
lng's with APA and yawn and proving around them it's been something that
has allowed this team to really what is lng's lane top iteration they're three
man bot so early but course early on the way as we are seeing impact here
potentially he did a fast-paced top from the bush this is a weird lane
top iteration can't rumble TP top and catch the wave for free but he
doesn't know that I guess
the calls of world counting on that is a 42 to this is looking rough than wayways
level three as well here's a classic both dive 222 before LNG trying to commit to
this dive big wave coming through full shot the style of the damage goes into
rumble TP top they know that you know that and I said no as hell they like
hold up leaving it this is actually massive as they're gonna just abandon
the dive so they didn't have confidence that they could actually pull it
off with court JJ showing up so core making a really good move there this
This is something that they have been getting so much credit for.
Wait, did it say GAL on his cam?
There's no way it said you GAL.
They are so adept at playing out these lane swaps.
They really know their timings.
They are someone that in the LCS was constantly innovating
the way in which we played out these lane swaps
and really making a lot of other teams in the LCS
look kind of dizzy in these situations.
He's into the narrative. I know you guys have been
talking about me all year and also
been talking to you about particularly that KOR is
just so smart as well with his map placement
in the early game and how they can play around his movements.
I mean, it's really funny when you talk to other pros against cores
We're gonna play here. It is a big brain one of that the salt of salt
But impact gets on out and Galar and I'm just too strong getting some damage back up to you
A lot of pros always talk about how there's always a good thing or there's just one way if you need to crash
Or there's one part where you need to be covered and they're saying if you're playing it's core
You can guarantee you can close your eyes
He's gonna be there to really put pressure on you and and he kind of has that all right
So basically what's happened is they've traded sides
In clear for jungle, they trade a craps, it's gonna go plus one on the raptors, but Sejuani's hitting his reppery spawn, they didn't do the bot dive, rumblecolt and it's just sort of when they are working well, they can get a lot of XP.
Pascal is incredible like these guys are some of the best carries around when they're on their game
They can be nearly unbeatable. I mean zicker is now for sure, right?
I think this year's been a great development year for him as well rough spring as we already mentioned for LNG
And I know we're going in the stories, but it's a general lane swap guys
We've seen the defense from core JJ
They must have fixed it now. He tries to just backspace, but they're already scouted
Core just backs away and he looks to go and match top yet again
But my point being that LNG
Our surprising team the fact that they even made it here with this last-minute run with this pop-up from Scout with stickers development
And I hope they put scoots don't put scouts put scoots in regionals
Zika was a real big carry of that series things like it's not are incredible and things
So Kaisa's basing they're probably gonna fight the grubs Kaisa runs out. We have incredible
Yeah
LNG has opened up a little lead here but not too big of a deal and again I think
you know Teal is going to be pretty happy to have avoided that early lane stay you
know talking about that rumble as Cedruani into the jacks that definitely
problematic and Jin obviously a really strong early laner here as well so
definitely happy to be just down a little bit of gold here and at the end
of the day it's just about 200 gold it's pretty much just that plate and a
little bit of farm so not really a big deal whatsoever and Teal just gonna
be looking to play eventually for these grubs here we'll see if they're gonna be
looking towards that is traditionally in the LCS they have been truly heavily
performing to go for the grubs instead of down towards dragon as again tell me
to win the stream at 312 sides and the dragon priority for LPL team seems to be
going pretty well for YEPA
way way is up here at the right time but you can see as well as that comes
through from the bottom lane of YOM TL still I'm gonna find themselves into a
Yeah, I mean, TL has pushed in mid and they have a pressure clock, so they're feeling pretty good, so you can see that the clone from APA, he actually just sent it up over towards Raptors and had the recall there, which extends the clone animation, so we have a lot of time to work with them.
Tristana flash is really important for TL, they need to track that perfectly.
You didn't actually get to trade anything on the other side of the map, we'll see if we can look for an Abel here on Yon though, as they have found him a little bit exposed.
He's fine, he has cleansed ult.
Not confident to go for it though, because I don't actually think that Core was ever spotted leaving lanes, so they're not sure if he's in that side brush, and it's going to be TL's looking for their play mid.
Oh, he got him in the jump. Oh, he got the E flash as well. Into the wall. Huge kill.
Yagal, right in all chat. Nice try, Yagal, go and right it there. Now, Yagal needs to
right in all chat. Yagal would have flashed out of that. And then boom.
There's a costly death there for him.
UMG, unfortunately, is the one that gets the kill.
It's not gonna be going over on APA,
but still, TL is gonna be really happy
about how this game is starting out.
And let's see if they can remain calm, play their game.
Yeah, because this NNA was definitely their comfort zone.
Now, they are a team that, when they get ahead,
are really a death that taking over enemy space
on the map, pressuring jungle camps.
And this is something that last year,
they really started to talk about,
where they really wanted to make a transformation
and try to turn themselves into a top team.
Now they can swap their bot lane back again. Perfect timer.
Move out towards Drake. No cross map for NG.
They're still going top. I thought they would swap back there.
Try some Drake piles.
There's no flash on Hung.
Yeah, Minus going really good. He has Merc trade and a dagger and a cull. He's not doing any damage.
Cold top push and gets these next grubs.
and Jan obviously has core behind
you're mods mods mods for you, not him, guards, chat, reset, you'd be a close up being ill
yeah, the 3v3 is winning for Tielus, they can get onto rel
it's a warning on bush though
maybe the pink is here, umti?
Like right now as he sits on the wall the way way is already up in this topside jungle
Is he clear his crimes?
I don't know what can I paint it there? I think there are two things
So you're right this could be bad as the setups there, but pull away
Yeah, and Sika was actually just basing so Tiel overcommitted this there could be a TP on that play
But then she took the tower, you know drop an equalizer
Excuse me, he did just drop the equalizer push the wave
So hang on a second mad lost, but now I'm lost T1 lost
Doesn't amount to anything
If Tiel loses this the next draw is just EU versus NA
with T1 sprinkled in there and wildcard teams
yeah nice take
nice overtake
oh that was a really little bi-umpty but I don't know if they can kill him
Kai'sa mana kinda sucks
he's a scout there as well
ooh, trying to get his cleanse
not gonna get it, the grub's responding soon
they need to stop the genebase
oh my god, I like the aggressions
I like the aggressions
TL love these grubs
They might only get 5
It's okay though, 5 is still really good.
Oh, baited!
Ow, how bad!
Oh, he should have just flashed, he's saving his flash, greedy, greedy, greedy.
He should have just flashed so he could have altered anything.
Anything now would have been good.
Yeah, he's got a flash head.
He's got a flash head.
I'll play it then when he actually gets it by the CC from real realizes, you know what I'm dead
I'm not gonna expend the flash so you can't fly maybe a chance open was just writing ddd ddd and chat
I've been there LNG who opened up a small gold advantage here, but this is one that is very very even and
TL we're gonna see if they can make it happen in the flesh on D by the way
He can really make the magic happen here and golly now. It's be for glass
I remember dragon still sitting there 12 minutes into the game first dragon just ignored and I want to talk about the other
objective that was taken I think the biggest part is the fact that they
denied from LNG the fact that you have run on the side when you have scout on
this Tristana no grubs here outside of the one is always important to know
especially when a team can push so fast now Kai's ult yet
Zenith blade with a deadly fireish mixed on in you had to make today you
get a nice drink but for now TL just get the push in bot and defense comes
through as LNG hovering case there's more yeah exactly they're just gonna
move over to this dragon LNG know it's a little bit dicey if you do
It's crazy that TL are getting draped, it's like it's been up the whole time.
They're having a really heavy topside, they're having to be matching to get a drake.
Very nice to see them liquid.
Also Kaisa has to be quite good, she's really far ahead of XB and she didn't push out the wave on bot side.
And he is going to be able to at least do that. So TL, take another objective.
LNG just get control of the waves, and we continue forward. It's just been kind of a very calm game.
They're going to try to see if there's an angle for Hong.
Not bad. Not bad.
Giona E could have buffered on the route there, on the summons on the wall. Maybe they could have got an actual kill.
I've been flash on controller based. What about that?
Nice block by Korg.
He misses.
They're keeping top with Yappa.
Oh yeah, the minion.
Easy. Easy kill.
Great kill there. Storm search damage is nuts on the Neko.
He doesn't go Protobelt, he goes Storm search.
Yeah, Karthus has static sticking base.
Not bad for team Liquid, not bad.
They have no nicole for the herald though, but the kill is always fine.
I need to know Kester, is his APA all check it or not, I need to know.
He's 20 CS up and he just got a kill top. He must have wrote something.
run in the sideline but herald was spawned and lng are looking their eyes towards it
it's a mastercard land economy snapshot it's going to show you this early game is a little
bit tilted gala in a good spot but also a pa in a great spot considering the early
game that came through from on deep tb top by tristana she's abandoning bot for top
zero one quick i like that some scoot scoot maybe it's going a pretty aggressive
build here your digital storm so you have no guabbies normally have one which is kind of
you know the should get first material there tristana um but a lot of
Niko players, you know do go different builds in a proto valve, you know things like that
So we'll see where he is going to play
LNG are able to take that top lane turret, but TL obviously pushing mid and also are able to grab that tower very likely on the bottom side
Is yon is down there?
It's only a clone in the nopers APA
I'm just gonna get solo gold here on the bot lane tower, so it is going to be a trade
with obviously first tower going to LNG but all of the gold getting isolated on
Jan is a really good thing for the TL80 carry who they do have so much faith in
at this point.
I mean again you talked about it being a bit more stable coming into summer as well and I love the story especially when you're against such veterans, when you're with such veterans I should say.
That has the chance to be an insane North American or you know let's just call it like Western bottom lane.
Yeah yeah no absolutely.
That's a couple years. I'm an hour. Yeah. Yeah, I know yon has improved a lot
Hot play no flash on rumble. They could turn this here energy though
Umti might be in trouble. He's a nice rider to the wall. That's bad
I can hold down on the wall so he drifts his way out
Call it with his flash maybe
I'm still thinking about the engage and then it's played
No, he wants to play it
It's all flounder, collar on the back, pop blossom
Dada flash was good. Homno flash though
Dada ult's gonna do big work here
Kill zapa
He's hurting as well, separating TL from one another
Umti's cooked
oh he's kind of driving out though holy fuck scunner
they don't have TP from bot scout
they were the 4v5 from that herald from mid
not good for team liquid
to punish as well. I think it's another big factor. Yeah, I think coordination of the slashed out and just take the loss
But they tried to force it.
I mean the real question now for TL is the only thing you've got from that is some flashes, right?
So now you have to be able to punish Gala. Now you have to be able to punish Zika and have
something come from that fight. Otherwise, it's complete loss because LNG just played the map.
You know, they're able to get these towers, they went out on the fight, so they're feeling so good about their position and
And we'll see if TL can make anything happen with those slight advantages with those summers that they were able to force
But it's gonna be tough because obviously there's no fashion APA or um T either
No
But I think RMG want to cook with Zell flash here
As Yon was pushing forward, he had to actually walk on the equalizer to finish off the kill, so not as clean as TL would like, scout is coming, impact also here on the flank.
LMG looking like they potentially want to keep fighting this, because Zika's gonna be up in 12 seconds and he has TP, so they'll have a massive HP advantage if they can make this time.
In fact, as everything available, the curtain call is brought into the forefront as TL's top-laner thinks of an angle himself, but CoreJJ has to absorb the bullet onto the backlight.
I don't know, it's going to be TL the Dragon, but they caught in the middle of the TPL.
He's taking it out with E, labeled before.
Are they all out? Oh my god, where is he?
Looking for the grand escape, but the impacts now lost his team.
He's behind enemy line, but not for much longer.
As LNG looks for the TPL.
They've got E, nice movement from Cork.
They're getting kill range as well.
He'll sacrifice his life.
They get mid tier one though.
For the Dragon that makes two, LNG gets them gold.
There's a lot of good trading here from both sides.
Two Drakes to TL, they have five drops, they got mid tier one.
They did lose the...
Neon on the back of the window checks.
They got a kill at the start though.
TL is not playing too bad.
Why is there so many infernal souls? It's absolutely bugged today.
time and created so much chaos for TL so they couldn't really just kind of fully
focus on what they wanted to do killing that dragon and getting out it allows them
to catch up kill impact and also core on the exit here and impact you know have
that strong early game but really has not made any any difference in the game
thus far you know hasn't been able to put much pressure on the side lanes
hasn't really been able to find a way in in these 5v5s so you've got to be
careful because you know if you do spend too much time and grouping as
Jackson you aren't able to really make a big difference and you're not
getting that gold right and this is one of the things that I've always kind of had
as a criticism of impact when he plays carries because he is such a selfless
player which is great when you're playing tanks and playing the supportive
style. Oh yeah. When you put yourself on a carry you need to be greedy you need to
play for yourself put yourself in a position to win play for your goal
play for your lane and sometimes I do think he overgroups he plays towards
those tank tendencies which can really hurt him on a champion like this.
Especially in a game against Zika last year we were talking about Zika's
ability to be flexible kind of a mix between 369 and bin and I think he's
Yeah, there's three more games after this.
We got Paytion, EPSG, Zika and Viper, and then it's FlyQuest and G2, or Miss Zajjwani there.
see impact down towards that bot lane gonna be looking to push that wave up here
try to put on a little bit of pressure but obviously TL don't have a lot of
deep vision so does that that one thing for the slow the shallow and one ward
over behind the enemy it's kind of a similar game with the top e-sports versus
T1 can TL kill the gym I think that's all that really matters
nothing there just yet we'll see they have Leona, Kaisa, Niko
control ward he's now adapted and also APA he's got a rocket belt as well as his flash
available I don't know when Nico's in the meta we always take account of the flash being
one of the most important tools to angle yourself as we saw earlier on players like Faker pulling
it out on almost clutching a win. Yeah exactly right and we saw it kind of pull sides of
it we saw Faker have some incredible engages but if you do swing and you miss right if
they're able to flash out you don't really have much after it it's kind of that
one punch team fight. Yeah. So it's really tough because yeah you have the flash you
You have the rocket belt, but you have to be so on point with your engages because people
in front of you call, they flash out of it, it can just be a straight up lost team fight
unless you are really creating enough chaos that the rest of your team is able to get that
work done.
So that's where he has to coordinate with MT, with impact so that even if they're
flashing out of the vehicle ultimate, they're flashing into the waiting arms of
the skarner, of the Jax, otherwise things definitely could look bad for them here
because LNG has a lot of damage, a lot of consistent damage here.
They're gonna go for a sneaky baron here, it's not a ward though, they don't spot
that ward.
Is LNG not spotting this?
Oh now they see it.
Oh, NMG was so slow to react to that. No one checked Baron.
OME!
There's no way this Derek just said that.
That was a monster Baron call by TL.
They thought they couldn't get there in time or something. What a good call
That was really really weird because it was such a delayed reaction from LNG
They see them over by the bear and they don't actually end up moving
I want to see that replay because I'm so curious like I assume that that ward gave them full vision
But maybe there's somehow the TL was in the only on the bottom side of the pit
And they're like because there are some weird wards on the map where they don't give you the vision
Where you think they was
The thing is the ward was on the Baron but it didn't show a champion portrait on the minimap
It just saw the Baron so no one checks the ward that the Baron was being hit
It's only when Kaisa showed on the minimap that they could see it, so it's a bit of an awkward ward.
I don't blame them for not seeing it straight away, but still.
That sucks a lot for LNG.
TL could ignore the Drake now and play on mid-top and try and get powers for the Drake.
It's okay to lose this, but it's also great to fight it, so they have two big options here with this baron buff.
There's only one right in front of the dragon here if TL overextend in any of the actuals.
They're going to take the fight here to yell, fuck it, Jax just beasted.
Zyka now just receives the next wave as you see scout has already walked down and for this third dragon
I will say giving it to TL though opens up a lot of doors in this game.
Well look at mid lane, this is the problem is LNG have kind of overcommitted this bot side.
I like this from Yon, just hit mid tier 2, just drop the drake, fuck it, just fake contest.
But they're going to go for it because APA is doing a poby.
Oh, he completely wasted there. Oh my god, Yon also trolled. Their mechanics in this fight was terrible to him.
The mechanics in this fight are completely disgusting.
Apa and Neon just trolled.
But I feel like Neon went in expecting Apa to hit.
Oh my god. Yeah, he whiffed and young fool died on top of a rumbelord and just stood there.
Oh man, they think that better, they think that better, they'd be okay, but the sink was terrible.
because he's coming in from above the idea very clearly is impact gonna come from below push them up into waiting arms of the
Niko here
One more time as he's looking for the angle here
I mean you can be honest you on fishing is not bad if you can connect but no
They'll flash there from APA not the debut. He wanted on the world stage
This guy has improved monumentally, but obviously feeling the pressure here didn't have a good showing at worlds last year
Yeah, and that is tough because that's the kind of fight and you can see the stress on the coach's face there
Yeah, spawn and rain over it. They know it that could have been the game deciding fight
We were in such a good position if you crush like this as they probably should have with Nico on the flank
That could be a massive goal lead that could put them in a position just take the whole game and instead
Not like this check gauge there from a PA falls flat on his face and LNG
Definitely take advantage of it so close
Again, you know only by an inch it really feels like an again timing a big factor there
But as it hurts to hope you need your kids LNG on the other side and see what they got from it
They stopped the dragon stacking. It's not game defining yet, but Zika picking up so many more resources now
He's also gonna seek his armor guard to run him into the fight with a fully completed
Second item here. So here we go. Yeah, I'm just gonna try and push through matters LNG
Look for another angle or another afterthought and that being said
you know at the end of the day the gold is still very even you know TL is still in this game
definitely a failed fight there and one that TL are gonna want back APA especially
but they need to stay calm they need to be able to realize you know what game is still in our hands
we still have an ability to win this one we'll see if they are going to be able to do it as
scout is just playing so heavily through side lanes creating more more of an advantage
he's quietly opened up a thousand gold to hear over APA and in fact has not been spending as much
time in those side lanes so you know hasn't gotten quite as strong as he would like to get though he
is in quite a good spot here has this under sky has a triforce likely working towards a randwin's
next against the double ad makes a lot of sense you can see the randwin's already completed there
on mt as well as he would write some jinn is also huge and the 50 gold difference in any carries
struggle with some of these front liners until that is completed but at least uh some of the
the flies like yon an APA are gonna be destroyed by gala's damages mm-hmm had a
bit of a lead earlier on he was in a decent spot but I shouldn't say yon is
still been keeping up three items for this kaiser as well and I am looking at
scout as you mentioned we do have healing cut to be used against TL in
this game specifically nice on you
Yeah, that's so fast though.
That's a lot of wolves though.
Oh, how far did he kill him?
Oh, Yeeon! Someone could have killed him there, no?
They both ran away thinking they're dead.
Oh, he was cancered on it.
I'm sure one of them could have killed there.
I think Kaisa stopped picking.
someone else is gonna finish it off surely but no one else was able to stay and finish it off
and now he's probably dead anyway
potentially is this gonna be spawning soon it's upon the process and easy kill not hard to get to
ban but they might try it you said that baron is up in 20 seconds and
there's gonna be a start one down at the bot side of the road
scout has no TP but it's quite difficult to get there let's see though
Stakes is using the Seekers there to immune the scourner all by time
Drake's up in 50, as well from APA but they just didn't have the damage
so I'm good for a burn
Come on man, all they need was Kaisa, she just keeps on getting out, but he had no flash so Kaisa was a bit scared.
They took two towers up that play like true ten minutes ago. So you almost get the top way at level 16
Sorry
What are you doing what are we doing?
What is she'll doing we take it out bus pushing top guys for 40 seconds while parents up into five versus four
Yeah, TL really feeling on some of these execution plays. They're looking very nervous and now I can maybe play this
I can clutch to get in here if you get some mega old but Zika's marking him really well
He can carry!
It's fine enough. Impact's doing work though.
Can he Q to the Blastco? Nice death.
Can he Q my Nash? Can he do that?
I don't think so, go get Drake instead
Good news is, LNG can't get Nash, the bad news is that's Niko Flash and they didn't use a summoner
It's gonna get harder from there, regardless of the kills, a lot harder
We're both in inferno takes, I hate you
in these situations I hate you they engage there from APA really nice yonza able to get into the
backline and try to really get some damage down but he just gets focused down by scout and gala
like yes you found a multi-man engage but the two key carries were not this is what hysteric
said in the chat owners today what boy if i don't say over me on cast today i'll go bald
it's very likely off of them miss ulti was mega pissed he knows you know i'm in umji shoulder
in a spot where they can win this game they just have to execute and fail it's just a small
Small decision, just lost the game, not at least the game, but he lost the snowball
40s in the game, right?
Appas pushing top, don't get caught, he gets caught, energy force, 4v5.
This game, we have seen some really aggressive early play that have been great in his name.
I think the Skarner pick has done a lot.
It's just some of these last few fights haven't come through TL, haven't been able to execute all the angles that we talked about.
But there's still hope here, and the hope in for NA is not me glazing them.
No, they're not a donut here. They're 3K down into the depths,
but they're not out of the shed as TL trying to set up to see if LNG start this barrack.
Yeah, still, it's about a 2,000 little bit over at 2.9K gold lead.
You know, it really doesn't matter.
Hysterix is a moats farming on his path, it's crazy.
Cause he is really strong, it's a deathcap done for APA, so he's got him all.
He can 100-0 these players and he is getting...
Appa, Appa, they see him though, they see him.
Until now, Pop Lothar Mary flashes over the wall.
They got Jin Flash.
But they have no ult on Niko now, they have to disengage.
The ult's flash trade is great, but LNG might force on it.
So they force the flash, but again, this is the weakness here of champions that are so ulti-reliant.
You force the flash, but now you can't do anything until you ult APA.
In the short term, LNG is winning here, they can force farm.
In the long-term, T.L. wins if they can stop the Baron.
APA has good items. Even though he's made a few mistakes, he has three huge items for Niko.
Can I steal it?
Oh, the knockback from Scoot.
They gotta get out there, T.L. I think.
Yon can't move.
Oh, cocky movement by Yon.
Get out, out, out, out. Nice damage onto Zika there.
Yon's thinking of sniping him there with a W.
Didn't hit.
It's a costly trade, isn't it? TL just traded Jinflash for Baron.
It's not gonna work. So they lost Baron, sucks. They're down a lot of gold from that. But this, and this is their trade.
Can they lend the combo onto an ultrash shield on the siege? If they can, they can stop the Baron and get shutdowns and come back.
That's their last chance.
I think Shostano is manageable with Jax, but Jin needs to die. One of them needs to die, it doesn't matter.
Okay, they got top tier 2, it's fine.
They got his flash and they got top tier 2. That's really good for TL. You think that's bad, but that's actually not bad. It looks silly, but it's good.
Niko has flash, so ult should be up soon for drake, and Tristana has no flash down and they go to tier 2.
So it's kind of fine. They're relying on one fight to win it all.
But if they die before they get that fight, they're gonna lose.
God, it kills him here.
Yeah, they lose before they can get that fight. It's over.
Ooh, they got rel though.
An omt lift.
Is he gonna lift?
Oh my god, I couldn't block but Zika might be trolling here, he has trollneas.
What, we died to what?
Are you angry?
Yeah, TL is not going to get that fight.
Nico flashes up, but the game is over.
I think too many mistakes by TL, they got caught too much.
Too many mistakes.
Too many mistakes.
Well done by LNG Scout and Gala standing strong here for the LNG.
They played good, their fundamentals are good Team Liquid, I think they're choking a little bit.
Or they're like really nervous, I don't know.
In some key moments here, this is a game they're really going to want back.
You don't get a lot of chances at the world stage to take down teams like LNG.
They had one here today, but they couldn't quite execute on it.
Alright chat, the next game is Hummelite PSG, which I think will be a stomp
But after that
It's G2 and Fly
G2 is against Payne and FlyQuest against Gam, we need them both to win otherwise we're all cooked
Probably too very frustrated LCS analysts
Flanking me because congratulations to LNG for winning that game, but it did really feel like Team Liquid
You know at many points in this game had the possibility to blow up
Their gold lead I think I'm depressed shocks
Please I don't want any popcorn. I don't have an appetite right now. It I mean it was close. Yeah, sorry
Definitely want to come away with the wind here
But the shocks is just throwing but she's showing shots around
and lose to three unique teams to be eliminated,
beat three unique teams to move on to the next round.
So as long as they don't over tilt off this,
I think there were some positive signs.
What were they?
So positive signs would be,
think they played the early game pretty well.
I think they were in a pretty strong position,
specifically the moment when APA
fell this flash over the wall
and Jan went in as if that was gonna land.
They make that fight work,
they're on sole point and maybe they win the game.
And things went bad after that,
but that's the moment I'd like them to play.
Yeah, I gotta say,
I was really nervous for LNG in the beginning.
That looked like Spring Split, LNG coming into this.
What am I going to say to Dom? He's just going to say Phenomenal Mad Lost 2.
I've got no ammunition check. My gun's empty.
but it looks like these picks that we thought were out of the meta and nerfed
are still in the meta
LPL, LCKG's love them
yeah and on top of that there are a few moments even just one moment on top side where
we need to wait till G2 wins and Fly loses to a gun then we can fucking drill
down into the ground that's what I'm gonna do
so there were a lot of like tip-for-tap moments where anything could have
meant for a larger advantage for Team Liquid
yeah the scout comes out on top and he's in the Verizon post-game interview
what are you drinking?
And we're back to the side of the stage for LNG's first victory here at the Wall Street Stage and a half scout with me
Thank you so much for joining me. I'm kidding. It's barley tea. It's barley tea.
I know the road was not easy for you. You actually found out recently that you are gonna be able to make it
How much of an impact did it have on you personally but also
For the the rest of the prep with the rest of the team the fact that you came last minute here
Oh, how am I from the background?
First of all, congratulations to you guys for winning this game.
If you want to ask the players of SKL,
about whether you can participate in the world championship,
have you encountered some small problems?
If you want to ask about this,
do you have any impact on your individual or the whole team?
After you overcome this problem, how do you feel now?
I don't know if it has any impact on other teams.
For this season, it's okay.
And then,
in the end, we still have to win the championship, so we have to give it our all.
So, actually I have no idea the impact on the other teammates, but for me it's just fine.
But finally, eventually I can hear, since I'm here for Worlds, I'm going to strive for
it and go all out for it.
We're just happy that you could make it in the end.
That's just what matters.
And talking about NNG and your run last year in Korea, you made it to quarterfinals,
but no more.
What makes you sure that this year is going to be different, especially given the fact
that it's almost the same team, except Weiwei in the jungle?
Last year, you entered the quarterfinals in Korea, but you couldn't make it to the last round.
This year, you joined the LNG, especially in the jungle.
So what's the difference between this year and last year?
Compared to last year, it's still the same.
Our playstyle is still the same.
Let's see how we did in the previous season.
or play style, but it all comes down or depends on the early game.
Alright, well thinking about LNG at Worlds, I know there's always huge expectations when
it comes to LPL teams in general.
Where would you guys rank yourself at Worlds right now?
That's a hard question.
Every time we come to the world championship, everyone is looking forward to the LPL team.
I want to ask the players of SKL, what do you think about the current LNG level of strength?
Maybe it's still a bit difficult in the LPL championship.
You can be humble and say, well, we're the LPL 30, so...
I feel like LPL has always been more prospective coming to the world championship.
All right, well, we'll see how you guys can do. Thank you so much Christina for the translation scouts amazing to have yet
Well once again, thank you for the interview and that's all for us here on this out of the stage
Scouts hairstyle is funky
Thank you so much. I can assume it was incredibly stressful. Maybe that's why as the GV's point
They reverted a little bit to kind of spring LNG in the tendencies
Maybe they're catching up a bit catching their groove and despite this being a very very close game for TL
you got to hope that if things go the way they want and I'm not saying they
have been good the entire year in LPL even you know sometimes in playoffs you
will not have seen what you've wanted but if Scout is firing on all cylinders if
Zika has a breakout tournament which he could be on track to show there is there
is a lot of promise but the competition is stiff. It is but I don't think LNG is
the only team that's kind of shown this we've already seen it from a lot of
the Asian teams I think as long as we as soon as we go into the second
round of swiss
All right, how about PSG so a bit slow pace just the teams being probably a one-size-game and then big pace
After that way this game played because the early game did not look good for them
The only reason they kind of came back was because TL went for a massive overstep here in the enemy
I want to see how good this is also while scout is bot lane pushing on Tristana
So it was a five before where they were the ones that lost so not only did they lose the gold
They lost a massive amount of tempo on this play
Yeah, there was a few times in which they had actually looked for a play and they ended up losing flash for it
I mean getting a flash off of the gym
They can't really make a repeat play happening afterwards it to your point. Yes across the map
LNG is getting gold back for themselves. That's where the gold advantage is coming in there for them and a question
To you in terms of TL when they do fall behind a little or they don't have kind of like complete control of the game in the LCS
This year do you feel like they made macro mistakes or over push mistakes like this?
This out of character here. Here's what I'm sure you have the patch notes ready for it surely at MSI
Yes, they were worse, but less nervous
Here they are better, but nervier. Mmm. So they've actually improved
But they put so much pressure on themselves if they choked like they these those are not moves
You see from them normally, but the fact that they were in the position to see them throw those moments
Actually shows a level of improvement. So it's a matter of
Chet, you know I'm saying how Hummelife should beat PSG pretty easy?
If they don't, the lower bracket's cooked, it's cooked, the 0-1 team's all cooked, it's
fucking fried.
Yes, there were so many moments that people from the community will stick to, of course
the bill flash from the Niko, the play that happened in the enemy side jungle, the ultimate
that clearly umpty was frustrated with but if you look towards the lng side
there's a lot to be excited about because that was them with the least
amount of practice getting a game like that and zika to your point
his rumble alties changing into something hold up one second
they were also the jinn was really good and thanks to the reliable sysco
network lng was able to out team fight team liquid at the
dragon to take control and this is one uh where gala i think was pretty
crazy yeah i mean he definitely has a nice
Just to get out of it immediately flash away from the counter strike after unfortunate ultimate from APA because they're
DL has done a great job. They got gala's clen's they got his flash
Last thing just couldn't connect, but that's where the rest of energy is already in position
So much space
So try and get on the gym that when the fire
Did you just say that just because I I called I mean I thought it was another replay and I mean totally
We started five hours ago five and a half hours ago
Listen, that wasn't even North America's number one seed.
Exactly.
My question is playing later.
And we haven't even seeded you, number one seed.
Both that ain't even going to get you into the trash.
What if FlyQuest loose the gun, though?
I guarantee it.
LCS's number one seed has never lost the game.
Wait.
Number one seed!
Oh, it's missing.
Oh, it's number three.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But we have as well.
It's all good.
Yeah, we're going to take a quick break.
I think we have three more games to come.
So that's very exciting.
Grab a snack as well.
We have some popcorn.
I'm going to commiserate a little bit with my LCS.
Follies because things aren't take a break get some popcorn get a snack get some water stand up do some squats
Go for a walk go to the toilet open the fridge make some food get a tea do something
We're back in five minutes, and then we lock the fuck in for the remaining three games
Do what you're gonna do stack up on on crisps
What is Lucid doing? He's asleep. Motherfucker was asleep before the game against Fnatic.
The most unlucky thing ever is if Fnatic draw T1 in the slower bracket. Oh my god.
Imagine oh play that spin that shit what is this what it's showing us a thing you shit
of FIFA I destroy you at FIFA I destroy you FIFA I just
I destroy you, Pipa
Hello, Perkz
My...
My baby
You meet soon?
I destroy you, Pipa
What do you think of Perkz's hair? Cause he's bald
What do you think?
Frying
Fighting
Cheer up
It was really fun, thank you so much
What do you think of Perkz's hair?
G2 is the last game, yeah G2 is the last game. The next game should be the most one-sided game of the day
I would imagine. Hummel Life PSG. Surely is a stomp and then we're a gam flight time.
Bro, if Fly goes through the gam it's over.
It's over. Completely over. Check the Hooper rating. Of what? Of what?
Where's the Hooper rating? What is this?
Traitor 2. No, we don't need that, right? We don't need that, that, that.
What is this?
Appa gets a 2.3 for his Niko form scale injury.
Okay, I'm done. Why did I even look at that?
Why do you link that shit? Why does Hoopoo Esports even write that?
Why does Hoopoo Esports even write that?
What the hell?
Sali, can you ult my Aram?
No.
Yeah, Saturday's two games because it's best at three elimination or promotion. I'm not sure which one.
You can't open up the giveaway link. Why not?
It works.
What do you mean you can't open it?
What do you mean entered into a giveaway? Yeah, why not there?
I want to win a dumb one, Drizzy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As we walk you into Hummer Life and PSG, you are so damn tall. It's crazy. I'm stepping on something as well.
You don't even wear that like high shoes. It's difficult.
Apparently, Australians are tall. Canadians though.
Now, the part of the...
That one's in your food and your water, but man, it's working well. You look good.
Thank you. You too.
It's good to be here gassing with you. I think this is going to be hopefully a fun game.
What is this Derek saying? He's trying to raise him up or what though?
That's PSC. Shouldn't it be PCS?
This is a team, they're a good marker team, you know, they can play some really solid
League of Legends here.
I do think they're draft reads, you know, as you're kind of alluding to in the first
series that they played were really poor and even against Mad in the second series,
I thought they were pretty poor as well.
So you know, I do think they were kind of like scaling into play-ins and I think
this is a team that will have really benefited from actually getting to play in play-ins
before coming up against an incredibly difficult opponent.
HLE is still that all being said is still massively favored
But you know PSG maybe they can throw back to the flashmills days and be some LCK killers
Pull off some sort of
Doran, Peanut, Zekar, Vyprz and Light
Anything's possible to be a one, you know, let's get it boys. I mean how calm my life is is looking so strong
I mean they were able to overcome GenG and even though everyone's kind of talking about GenG is there with their number one seat
HLE did upset them in the finals. This is GenG 2.0. Don't forget.
We got the light pay not and we got Doran in the site roster
So it's just another Gen G anyway
Absolutely, and we paired up with a couple world champs
Doran don't fall
To Shavi, Zeca and Viper, these guys are absolutely incredible
Yeah, Zeca and Viper are pretty good
It was a 19 game or series losing streak that Hanuman had had against Gen G
before they beat them in the finals
So it was crazy
That was like absolutely insane, they played incredibly well
But even the finals aside
This team I think you know if you look at the totality of the year
Zeca ever paid against Maple?
Obviously, they were trying to get upset in spring by T1,
and they didn't end up finishing top two.
But they were really, really solid.
I think Peanut is playing incredibly well.
I do think that Zeca, the meta, could fit him very, very well.
Obviously, he has become such a well-rounded player.
And I think the way that I've heard a lot of people
in the West talking about some of these players,
I think he's very outdated.
I think that people still think of Zeca
if you think back to his world performance
where he won Worlds.
Like, ah, this guy is just a melee only player.
Well, he was actually nasty on 80 carries as well. Yes, he still brought in you on a yes
He's still brought in you know those kind of how good is Doran's name multiple items in here
They're really kind of put them over the top and Doran as well. I just feel like
I'm kind of like this guy trapped cage. Oh, so you stop fucking around for this piece
People give him so much
Unjust I do think he's a really strong player is he been no
But like he is a really elite level top laner in the world
Yeah, and yes, he has some kind of really big in games
And I think that's where people really kind of just like latch on to that and they see a really bad game for him
And like oh this guy's trash or this guy's garbage
Even in the finals you go back to the LCK finals versus Gen.G
He had the Camille vs. Jax game where he got absolutely bodied
But then he turns around and Doran on Jax is a completely different base and that shows
But the high highs that he can have and yes Doran, you know, it was the MSI or Worlds even well last year
If I was a Worlds coach
I would take all my players phones and not allow them to use social media for the entire tournament because some of the things
I'm seeing. Oh my god if a player saw that they would freak
He's just like mr. Weekside and stuff. I also don't think that is true at all
I think he can play the carries and think he can really play at that top level
So I'm just kind of getting a little sick of all the the door inflame that I've been hearing online all the door and slander
It's on the fenda. I had to wait night a little bit
I do think he is deserving of that, but yeah, hold the door
Obviously, I do think people will always when it comes to worlds look at peanut and say ah
He's a choker. He hasn't gotten it done because he hasn't won a world championship
But he's done like everything else besides that and he's been so consistent for so long successful across many different rosters
I was funny and I have just been so impressed by him this year
He's been so stalwart for the team. Oh, yeah, really good at setting them up. That's your bias this game
How about that for PSG? I won't humble after winning. I won't humble after winning tournaments. I won't defend, but where's the crowd at?
number one seed. Oh yeah, the people that created the upset. Everyone said it was Gen G's
Golden Road and you would have had to come in as I caps that. We would have had to listen
to the Golden Road, the grand slam that H. L. E. made it so that us casters don't have
to keep going on about that. They brought it up and it was crazy again. It was such
a fun finals to go back and watch in a five game series but you know, Zeca as
you were talking about at the very start, Zeca had an insane finals and I think
I'm scared for PSG in here.
He'd be great in the lck on that but this guy is magic on yone on a call the on-side
Let's everyone knows that you know from his world champions
He got a lot better remember his corki was made on domestic play and Zekas corki even got better
And I mean delight this guy is you know, mr. Engage is recalling is absolutely next level
It is like almost a guaranteed perfect engage. It feels like every single time so it will be exciting
You know, I do think that medican fit them very very well
All right, how much you got please don't do rumble malchite, but please don't do rumble malchite smaller
They can perform you know, this is maple's last hurrah here. I think some really legendary players kind of you know
Make that announcement Levi. I'm so done with this rumble malchite starting
He stays you know
Planned players have been dominating their region for so long and you see them in there
I rumble malchite small and sorry
I want to see if they can kind of make a really great match for themselves here on their last go-round
Yeah, it's going to show itself
other teams as well that we're questioning roster, you know T1 comes into that argument
I know the deaths are gonna look at that throughout the day or at least throughout the tournament
But let's focus in on this because the draft HLE are taking away that scarner that again
I feel like Peanut will love a set you running again
Set you running via his favorites at Maokai style
I'll be against Delight, it's funny considering what we've seen
It's also against Peanut, Peanut's the best poppy, he's so good at poppy
and against most teams has just been to take away
Yeah, Ziggs obviously you know is very strong in the meta
Most you've been playing both these days, but just kind of waiting to see what HLA's read is because we did see you know
Gen G was kind of playing very much an old style
We've seen a lot of things so far, you know that our day
The Blanc running off the stage kind of playing what is he first picking a colleague?
You know, why would you bang the Blanc whether or not that is them just saying you know what our first match
We expect to win so why would we show anything? You know, we're just gonna kind of you know, hide our pace
Actually, you don't really know if it's gonna be that they've been your name first fix a colleague
What we could be nervous first game
Any number of reasons, but definitely not the same kind of priority that we've been expecting
They might have done a colleague for a stick if your name was done
Yes
I think Mabel will probably play Akali into it.
They take away the Sejuani from Pino to the Yone Sets, makes sense?
They could use Sejuani AD and then they could pick Akali on 3.
What's Vyprin to like in this game?
I wonder if they're down for Lucian Nami or something.
I would like to see a vision on the game with someone there.
Jax already with Pockyben.
I think they could go for the Rumble draft here now actually, with that Jax pick.
They are gonna go for it.
It's Maokai Rumble.
Please don't do it.
Okay, Maokai Kassante.
I'm surprised.
I feel like if they're going to go with something like Renekton or Na or Kassante, I would have preferred Ivan.
But I guess Maokai is still really strong.
Okay.
I mean, Akali has to be the pick here, right?
Silas, into your lane?
What about Camille mid? That's what Caps will do.
I love Silas here. There are incredible ultimates to steal with the Malkai and the Gnar and it is a secondary
Yeah, that's the Maple Akali.
He's a soul laner there for the Zed 1E, but I'm not sure if he's gonna be comfortable in that matchup against the Ori.
So he is going back to the Akali I mentioned earlier.
He had some really strong games on Akali in play-ins. In that final series against 100 thieves,
he was just kind of playing more standard mage stuff.
Akali vs. Yuni, we need more of that.
He was looking incredible on Akali and he had like basically three or four back-to-back-to-back games.
in play-ins where he was just street smurfing on this bed.
Oh yeah, I mean he could get up to two items and then he ran the fights.
So for Maple again, he's gonna try and run that back and then just go in and point it
and acknowledge before it's done.
So the Lennar's in melee, which is a good point for him.
I feel like Betty likes MF S-Roll, doesn't he?
And Viper probably wants a gin game.
He's gonna play his PSG, take that ash off the board, no AD carry yet, hey.
Maybe MF S-Roll bans are good, but MF does really suit their comp.
So we made those balls to get mighty pinched here as we go into the second phase.
Yeah, we've been seeing a lot of prior on Jin thus far, so that is gonna get banned out.
Jin just really is great, especially when you have...
If they ban Kaisa here or something, they want Ezreal.
If they ban Ezreal, they can get Paris.
It's not like Jin, if you're playing with Jin LeBlanc, you're playing grass and things like that.
But Jin is such a facilitator, you know, he's able to follow up...
They ban Ezreal.
...he's just gonna open up and really create chaos on a lot of these fights,
create windows for your other carries that are really put on pressure.
Ezreal getting banned out...
Are they playing like Xayah or something?
Why would you ban Ezreal?
They can play Jinx and Zyra.
They can play Jinx and Zyra.
I guess their options are Zyra losing.
Or maybe they're doing the same thing with that Mordraspun.
it again got high hopes of Viper here as we don't take any carry off here
HLE in the end it's the Nordless it's the engage they give away the Kaisa here
so they're going to have Rallor Alistar on 5th I mean Hamal life they have Kalista
yeah the Nautilus band here is interesting you know it does kind of lead me to believe
they want to play a high mobility carry and they have Zyra Khan Hushunami like they have
so many options down here this would be something that's really strong against
what PSG have shown this is hard engage and they're going to drive the game
on Zyra's worlds.
Zyra answers that beautifully, I absolutely love it, and Rakan is up, and the light is
incredibly good at it.
The light is a really good Rakan.
I feel like it definitely could be, and they said whatever take Rel will just uh, we'll
just put the light on comfort, we'll put the light on comfort, and he is so well
known for it, I just feel like it is just screaming out to the night, and I don't
like Malkan much, but I mean it's useful, so.
I don't know man, I am pretty nervous right now
Alright chat, they are a bit heavy on the AD
I don't know, the ad batch is going to run out
If you want to avoid the ad, you can sub by the tier one of your prime to avoid ads all over the world
So you don't have to set up any one thing, you'll be back before the game starts
I'll see you in a sec, this game should be how much I favor it, and we'll get to EU and NA games
So it is to keep the pace up chat, keep the pace up, it's a long day
But I'm here with you
It's not like you could pivot out of that and say, let's crash something else now
We were going triple melee topside with Akaisa. It's full dive. You're committed now as we round out the comps
There is one stat I need to share with everyone at home and
Wait peanut this entire year only lost one game on Malkai out of 18 games
Jesus
You are talking about one of the best junglers in the LCK and yes, hummuloff do win a lot
But still it's just crazy to throw that in there as they debut on the Swiss
But just put it in perspective their their teammate game score over the whole year
There is 70% win rate, which is obviously incredibly good
Yeah, but now guys 94.4 percent. So it is
Ever subbed you
You're a three-month sub
Sometimes women rates can be kind of fraudulent, people will be like, this guy's insane as a champ.
Why do you have PX?
Well, your team has a 70% women rate.
He's a VIP as well, that fucking psychopath.
But it's going to be an exciting one.
EDG vibrahyde.
Got the vibra EDG sign in the crowd.
PCS last tense, let's go PSG.
I mean, it's a good throwback if you get it.
It was such a crazy team, no one expected them to win worlds.
I'm alive this time, a lot of people are putting them in the top three, top four to win worlds.
And as they debut here against PSG.
I didn't do too bad there.
I think Damont series was close, TLNG was close, mad last of 10 minutes.
Yeah, it was pretty dogshit actually.
Alright, let's see if we can get a win later.
It was kind of shit.
Show mid matchup.
Yo, Cameron mid.
Cameron mid.
Now.
Carmelite is lane-swapping.
Number 3 in the world versus number 18.
Maple is playing.
He's f**king locked in there.
So, Hamal actually not swapping.
Have we seen standard lanes in any game today?
I think every game's been a main score.
This looks like the most and it's up but of course Betty and Woody are gonna go against that and they're gonna swap
You know what the sad part is you're right. It is the most standard serve that world
So like every single game it feels like it's just a lane spot today
Which I mean in terms of can be interesting, you know, they can be strategically cool
Especially if there is some sort of adaptation that's going on for but when you come to worlds
You want to see the best players laying against each other
You know, you just want to see the 1v1s. You want to see the 2v2s. You want to see those outplays
And this is G2's fault you're right to deny us a bit of that
There's been four infernal souls today, are you fucking lying?
You can't get too much from this obviously.
In five games you've seen four infernal souls?
Alistar is the awful level one, so a lot of players here, you know, just electing the lanes up and they do have Alistar even if it's just a quick...
Yeah, when infernal soul pickers are at you.
And that's exactly what they're doing, this is kind of a similar situation we saw CORE and HMAC in last game where obviously Woody's going to be going down bot lane to try to...
Because how do I know what they're doing on the same spot?
On Jax, of course we know that Angel Lee is looking to dive, they're just going to farm late and just chillin' and continue to move around the map.
map here as Doran's gonna TP back towards top catch that wave and Pina is just
power farming here on the Maokai so HLE is already up you know good 400 gold and
they're just saying you know what if you're gonna give us that advantage we're
just gonna take that gold lead and we're just run with it I mean again the
difference is it like this time as well the set up of the dive right the
sport so most the same position but junglers are pathing towards top and
respect the rcg first but now I'll respect him if it's a Cloudsword game
And it looks like a couple of waves and not that big bill to stack up that we saw even in the last game as I
All were it was about denying it's much experience and gold as possible
Absolutely, but I mean honestly, you know Betty elects not to do that that massive stack wave because Woody is basic
Right, so they're pushing to get level too fast is what he's gonna look man. It was a force of flash
Woody as soon as they want to go to a fast level to that means you can't really slow stack it right you have to just
You're kind of opting into a different strategy where you have to fast push a little bit more get the fast
They are still just bullying Jax on me with his tower, he can't really farm or his gnar is kind of fine
He's just farming with Q's, okay well Doran jumped in
They're gonna try and dive, it's really hard to dive with Jax
They can just keep chunking him I guess, but they don't have ignite
I mean, how much is winning this really hard, I'm thinking.
Jax can barely farm.
Anxire's taking plates.
Oh my god, Maple!
Oof!
The way that you get any farm is every time Counter Strike stuff, you walk forward, you use the Counter Strike, and you actually just use that to protect yourself from the AD carry and then pick up a minion or two.
And now what we're seeing Delight is doing, which this is honestly just kind of a masterclap, is every time Audra walks up with Counter Strike, he's actually, you know, just knocking him up and jumping back, but he's still denying his ability to actually get to those minions to get any farm.
He's constantly CC'ing him, harassing him, and then he gets shot, and you can't even land a Counter Strike on him, Viper's putting the feathers through you, so you have to watch out for the pullback.
So they're not swapping, Viper's going backpond.
I thought they would swap for Trebs.
I thought he wasn't able to really get any farm until just now when they base, then he
can finally push out that wave.
But look at what Doran's done, right?
You know, Doran is a little bit behind an XP, but he has an additional 14 minions, and it's
over two full waves, and it's not really been pressured in that same way.
So Viper and Delight just doing a great job with it.
And they're going to do a draw show after the games?
I think so, right?
Is that how they normally did it after Gochat?
Did they do the draw show after the game?
Would you be vulnerable on these waves?
Yes I would. Okay someone is there to cover.
First it was Peanut, and then I'll censor that now
the story needs to push it out.
That's why there's someone here again.
And this is just simple stuff,
but it makes such a big difference.
If there isn't someone there to cover you on this push,
you could easily enter in this situation,
but because HLE haven't covered entirely,
it just looks like there's nothing happening.
Such clean assignments and such clean map play here
from HLE and his delight moves up top
to also cover Doran as Junja was spotted in the area.
He just moves away after the waves pushed up, Doran can walk back if he needs, but cancer's back for the meantime.
Grubs are also up and available, and I also noticed that Doran is about to hit level 6.
A couple more minions and he will be able to impact this as PSG start them off at the very least.
Yeah, I couldn't be able to start up these Grubs here.
Yes, you can, these Grubs is pretty big.
One right away, Maple does move first, but...
Considering the swap was initiated, they're getting the Grubs which was exactly what they needed from the swap.
It didn't work again for one, but it doesn't look like they were going to go for it.
This is really good PSG
Special waiting room
Making sure he is not exposing himself to any sort of a gank from peanut because you they know that control ward is there over by a
Try so he doesn't really have any vision in the enemy jungle
And that's why he has to play so safe. He's happy with the game right now
You could put some pressure on and farm these minions. He just can't just recovering and calm the safety now
If he's gonna get wrapped around on they lost grub
Because the river right now is controlled at least to walk mid-laners and separate maybe we get a quick snapshot
Of what so he can't really treat like a psychopath
there's a river ward up in topside as well
could EQ him on the cannon
hey chile just doing their due diligence is
that's not my only one i've done chat
not gonna lie
i would have hit it though
he now has level six as well
sees junjun in the jungle
just does a bramble smash to get on out
while he also covers for viper again
me just covering these lanes
seems like the early game talk here
i just want to get in the lanes off
it feels like every game we talk about
who's covering you
not bad for PSG this thing's up
absolutely i mean especially if you have
really a lot of confidence that you can win out
in the later stages
oh my god zinjia
oh what the fuck woody
No flash on Zekka!
Wait, hold up. What is going on here?
What is going on here?
I'm waiting for a hidden banger actually
I'm done for hidden banger
That gold lead that HLE had been salute for and from the bottom line, especially Viper was the one with a bit of a lead
Betty picks up the killer now. He's in the driver seat here already
He's got the rektrix. He's got the recurve bow and as Betty
Yeah, Bob is good. Grub drop in 130 PSG can play a swap soon.
We'll build a pixel brush. He walks away. Yeah, don't look at top CS. Don't look at top CS. That's fine. Don't look at that.
So nice setup from PSG. They also picked up Grubbs before Dragon City and Grubbs in one minute 30
And some of the early game mitigation is nice to see considering when they were hyping up PSG
is not this walkover if they play like they did from the end of playing stage absolutely and I mean if
they play like they did at MSI this team went five games against BLG right like this is a team that
is having a very good year I think people sometimes talk strangely about the BCS how are you
still behind because Nara was leaning against Kaisa and he was free farming you know and like
Jax was leaning inside Rakan so it was really fun it's not really true I mean I guess you
also lost some waves on the swap and that's not to criticize that's to say you know we
You need to call attention to the improvement how good of a year they're having is is a standout year
It's so well in MSI Doran in trouble here judges behind him
We flashed into the sejuani. Oh god Doran
I'm striking the starting place don't make enough and they take him for your goals now for peanut
He's left here without his top laner. He needs him as he's following over the wall
How'd you get the flash out of it?
Oh my gosh, Junji is mental
He's got the kill but Sire's gonna get a kill off that
They pull the feathers in and they're gonna fall off
It's good down to Junji
That's a 2v2 win.
It's not really worth to get gold on Tijuani for gold on Zyra.
Especially now that's Vibra as Red buff as well.
They should have just let the Malkai flash out, but they didn't know where Syle was, I guess they lost track of her.
Look at the Jax gold now, the top difference in gold, he's pretty much even.
They have no Rack Hunters for this Rup spawn.
If they wanted those 6 drops here, PSG may be humble enough to go for Drake,
Go for Drake, or they could try a match.
Kaisa damage there was crazy on that.
That's right, it's in their respect.
He's going AD Kaisa, because he has a lot of AP damage on his team.
Or I'm TP bot to push, so they're definitely giving up these groups.
Probably not the right player if those fans remember now for PSG they're starting to take these grubs in the top side
On a water's juncture. How much aren't really getting anything from this place just be a five grub
Excuse me a six grub game six drops the PSU no tricks taken
Yeah, it's looking really like he's also really heavy AD
They got the kills and they now have six grubs here and the gold 200 gold for each only now 300
I mean it's just between that two three hundred mark honestly who cares the gold
lead pretty much is but his teams are very explosive you'll notice the best
teams in the world are the best teams are punishing teams so when someone makes
a mistake and they take a fight to punish it they start annihilating the
whole map and the gold lead just fucking explodes and I mean it's similar to like the
BLG mad game right you just lose control of the whole map
Desperately once I can and this could be his life
He gets shunned up altered back in as hell says yeah, that means the death knell's air framel smashed the wrong way
But for peanut sugar, he's actually kind of fine here set up by the glacial prison means appears you can try and turn it
Maple cooks the malchite they will
Oh zekka missed the ult on the Jax, but he's gonna kill him
Oh the humble life is good and zekka makes a fight back
Maple jumps in under turret again, but this time
Oh he wants the R2 there, but he can't
Flash perfect execution there
Humble life lucky to be alive with another try
Maple couldn't R2 zekka there, he just had the damage
TP match one for one also again not that bad for PSG
The problem is they're playing jack says you on a Akali Alistar
4 mini short range champs to dive onto Azhaya
So maybe Viper has a pop-up game here
Azhaya pick is great
here against HLE by any means and he should still win the game right though
you're on the case thing a real chance in the 5v5 in the skirmishes and that's
where they have to really prove that they're gonna be able to deal with the
engage from delight that they're gonna be able to find some way to problem-solve
the issue that is gonna be fight for a year on this side well a lace of jacks
is gonna have impact right here comes a drake spot asha STP event it's they
could try something here PSG but they're gonna bleed gold pop if they
do that he was first in CS per minute as a jungler all the
and he's in bot tower and they will eat him.
Navel wants to fight this, can he fight this?
If the audio's decent, just refresh your scenes.
I'm in the fight. They are still nearby. If this turns into an a lap roll. Yep, you know PSG
You know are gonna have to stay aggressive
They're gonna have to keep looking for these plays in the Ken in theory play through sidelines
But at a certain point you're gonna have to deal with the 5v5
It's gonna be so fun of him
Because while PSG are winning out on some of these skirmishes
They still have not really had to deal with Viper have not really had to deal with the light and Viper is just gonna be so
well set up. Come on, give me a cloud soul later on.
Don't be cloud drake next.
with the amount of keel between the mouth and the car
Don't make a large rig mix, as well as the car
It's so tough for them to get to him
So PSG is going to be in this difficult situation
where not only do you have to execute really, really well
in the 5v5, you have to find
the multiple angles on these flanks
because it has to be someone getting in
you know, Jax gets in on top of Iberny
pops the ult and then all of a sudden
Maples there too from somewhere else
and that's the kind of stuff you're going to be able to knee-take him off
because if you're just running straight at him
you have absolutely no chance in ever getting him
We get the Mastercard Land Economy snapshot to show you that yes jungles ahead once again
But everyone from HLE despite the circumstances is ahead in gold
No fighting here
The PSG tried to pull this comp out in their debut on Street 1
We get to a second ulti, we get to a second ulti
Kali's quite ahead in exp though
One week's early have come into fruition
Now as you say, it gets more difficult into the fight be fights
Into the later objective setups
Look at the Herald that's just spawned here as Delight and Viper sit around mid
Try to force out for the extra range there for Delight means that they can walk away
While pastry try to get themselves in the river exactly in pieces you just gonna be playing towards the pop-up
Because they're gonna be looking for that Harold looking for the scuttle. They already got all six grubs here
So we'll see if this is gonna be a contest from HLE
Of course, the essence river done with a rune king's done try for us lock it
You know all these key items have now come through for HLE
So I think that they're not just gonna be giving this up and bet these condition is not that good
And holding in and holding on the dash ring inside
kind of disgusting yeah it's like us first one
PSG can fight this they're looking for it though
oh I didn't get it
W was pretty good by woody
oh nice engage by Delighted Zekka
Insta kills the Kaiser
Oh, Viper's Flash was crazy there to get the damage.
Mega good mechanics from HammerLife.
The mechanics from HammerLife there.
The Yonu Akandive on Kaisa was beautiful.
Don't fucks up, Peanut.
Yeah, that's a...
This is what I mean by good teams will punish the fuck out of you.
Mid tier one gone, Herald gone, top tier one gone, you're 8th as well.
The game just bang the game here for HLE there in an incredible spot now
Look at the Nara gold lead as he gets a solo gold on that he's nearly 2k ahead now
Zeka being a greedy
They do have a Karli TP at the latest
But at what cost?
Maybe he lives here
What the fuck is Maple doing?
Hey Chile imagine he's about to make an up
Get this done all he can
Maple's against the wall as Zeka starts free-barring and Junja can't take the situation
They double down there. Why did he flash Q'ing?
Yeah, I mean at the end of the day they played really well through the early stages, but it's always gonna be that question.
Can you out team fight a team like HLE? They've given themselves an opportunity to do so, but they are so good in these skirmishes.
these skirmishes so adept at playing out the fights and again you have to commit
so much to killing Viper off that it means Zaka's going crazy Doran's going
crazy the rest of the team was not even threatened at all you had to send TP back
to the fountain to kill off this Zaya and it ends up costing you the fight
ends up costing you multiple towers and some people might meme on that play
from Maple but he knows after that fight and all the towers they lost
there in a terrible spot so he TP's before Doran buys and they were desperate
They're a really desperate game.
I kind of respect it because you are just in a terrible spot from this position.
I mean, again, it's just talking about Doran, where he was last year at Worlds
and the expectations we have as this kind of player.
And when we come back to it, like, he still hits high highs.
He gets banged on sometimes, but he still has high highs.
And here in this opening game on the NAR, some beautiful team fight
positioning and play.
This guy's leading the charge.
Absolutely. And I think this is kind of something that just honestly
happens you know not just a Doran but it's just a nature of you know Hannibal
when he was invading where people obviously who was it that was touching
him was it skipping all your skipio they see one moment or one thing and that's
kind of what you latch on to and that becomes you know the reputation of the
narrative whatever for players but I do think it is kind of sad sometimes
because it can erase you know all of the good work and all the things that
these players are so well and so I just always like to call it out a little bit
Two items higher speed
The humble I just get ready humble x baron is really quick. I think on baron spawn
They'll have a really good turn with malco's work on top with second viper
Absolutely hand-stipping again to use the word
In that first game Fabius Maximus
Wait, it's Hextech's Hall. Bro, has there been a single Cloud Dragon scheme? Where did
Where's the cloud rate go? Did it go home with a hundred thieves or some shit?
Where's the cloud rates at? They were popping off in play-ins.
Cloud Raging play-ins was number one.
It's so fucking rigged.
Yeah, this feels like it's just gonna be a slow bleed-out for PSG, you see.
They both have similar comps, but I'm like just too far ahead when they have a champ like Zyra that negates all the dive.
should be there relatively soon. He's also got a 60 CS lead over Argyr. Now I know they were
lane tops. I know that Doran got the play out. He's solo lane for a little bit longer without
much stress, but it's still just kind of showing you how this guy knows how to push
lanes. How do you have six traction low towers?
He's individually have shown us that in this game.
Yeah, I mean if you have four mini camps. Someone's from lane swap, but
Crane 2, HLE on how they actually handled that. Every time there was any sort of
window of opportunity for PSG to punish NAR, there's someone there covering them.
Peanut they're covering them. Delight they're covering them.
But next game's FlyQuest!
Where is the Pace Hat? Good question, where is it at?
How am I just murdering him?
Look at their side games, they're both at 4k.
Here comes the pick.
This is one and a half for Maple, he's damaging Junja here, he goes over the wall, Maple.
They might take this all in.
Ooh, a pick on Tezaka is big.
Is it a Baron force for PSG?
Wait, hold up, Jax has a really good position.
They've got a forced Baron, right? Junji has low though.
Nero's no economy with their cons forced Baron.
That gives them a number of advantages.
Yeah, that's actually huge, they get the shut down, and they got both Summoners and Altia Fiber.
That is massive there for PSG.
They need a bit more than that.
Hummelife could TP him with Yone and Force Nash, it wouldn't be a...
See how they could do that actually? Is there a Pyro and Force angle here for Hummelife?
Yeah, there is.
Yeah, I thought so. They have TP on Yone and then they make Tima snow temple.
Sanjuan has the base.
It's free as fuck.
I know I do have Doran through him, but let's just pretend that's happening.
Oh, he did pretty good there Doran actually, I take it back.
I just tried to spend away but now I'm sitting on one shot
and find back one access PSG
PESG are running behind me
I'm running behind me
No regard and we're betty down as well
So I'm just getting caught and then I'm put the helmet off
getting nashed because PSG over chased a bit
PSG and I've got the heads in the air
PSG is backing, get the helmet and it's my big gun
PSG but yeah this game is a horror now
really well again
Realizing that there is a lack of resources here
you know missing owners, missing ultimates
They can force the play on the Baron. They're able to secure it. Zeca TP's back in.
PSG try to make something happen as multiple members. They're going into the pit, trying to see if they can find a way to seal up, but they can't make it happen.
And now PSG just back out on the map. Really, okay.
Yeah, PSG is just trying to run at them. They don't have long chase here from right here.
I'm gonna see if he can find someone on that long run.
The magic is fading. Yeah, I feel like we're getting a pretty strong reality check that's going to be L scale PL tournament.
Which I think everyone knew but they were hoping it wouldn't be
The faith resides in G2 and FlyQuest
about it and I think a lot of people are being talking about the light I could
flash back to the final blitzcrank game he's got a lot of pics that really
resonate with me here is HLE here in the river and pay us do you want to take
another part of it I don't know flash he has all been one second though
Zekka's gonna fry them here oh Zekka beautiful but they have no damage there
oh Vipers portaling in!
oh no!
it's beautiful to watch and everything used by Vipers
Maple what you got for me?
he kills Zekka he can't get anything more than a kill over the wall he finds
5 for Fedor's flight. Get bot wave, get bot 2 or 2. They have no waste end on because Kaisa took mid wave.
The good news is, tomorrow we'll have the banger matchups as well. Like the winners bracket tomorrow is going to be stacked.
Super stacked.
What is the winners bracket right now close yours? I'm gonna spoil some things. What is it? It's humble life BLG
LNG poppy sports and that one right?
And Gen G
thing here they pull back I guess it's you on money was so be free to fire he
goes back in with the fated sealed multiple members there then delight
charms and no way black yeah all of this CC coming in on the PSG and on the
other side petty had already been pushed out there by Doran biker not
threatened at all and no way maple was gonna be on the drill tonight so you
can have same region matchups you can have you can see enough versus like
Man.
Man.
Odeon 3 items plus has the hex trigger.
This guy is going to be a nightmare.
It's only rounds one you can't come back.
Yeah, it's an over 10,000 gold lead at this point HLE haven't even lost a single tower at this point in the game
They're pushing through multiple lanes here. You can see Doron down towards the bot side
He's gonna get that wave moving and they're just gonna take over vision on this top side jungle balance between the lanes
I like my best way enemy jungle camps gets the core and then stop building summer system for sir
They're gonna really choke out PSG make them look for plays make a check in positions where they're not really set up for the fight
man it's always a sort of moralizing when you're like well maybe we can get a
pig and then you look over and there's a locket and they look over and there's a
macael look over and there's another locket and all of these tools I mean
they just don't have damage how are they gonna get through them
Sterak's, Rendoin's, Locket's, Rooker and Immortal Shield go a hextree of
Grisial, Mikael's, Redemption, Heal, Cleanse and they're playing a
That's what Kali said you wanted Jax, it's just, that's too much, there's too much.
That's it with him?
I meant for Mikael's.
Could this be the 20k gold lead game?
Maybe, maybe.
We've been looking for a 20k gold lead for months, for years.
You're from the future you called up the model is actually review. There's about to find out. Oh, there you go
I'm a steak turned into
They do a correct answer. Yeah, it's a four items to three. Yep sells it everyone with a massive
Alright, I'm already coming on my life started up using how my life
I just around topside now that vision shifts Doran with TP available gets that bot lane in to receive a ship
For Archer to look out while peanut business. Hello, John. Did you think this is your jungle with the teleport now flying through?
They're ulti being.
Fiberflame is good.
That Jax is one problem.
And Akali is also one problem.
Oh, Alistar combo is nice, but...
What is hysteric saying?
What?
What is he saying?
Alright GG, I think everyone expected Hamalai to stomp them.
I mean, Hamalai are favourite for me.
Okay, now it's time. Now it's time for the bangers. Fly, Quest, Gam, and G2Pain.
Surely, EUNNA will get their first wins in the next two games.
next two games right come on guys no one fucked up you need to not fuck up you
need to not fuck it up if she's to us like let's fuck this up and fucking
all that for in my life really played out the early minutes well in game and in
those skirmishes they absolutely got a lot of fucking so grass tell me what
went wrong my job is not I got toilet fill up the water and then we got
Two games of full focus.
Just not gonna do your job.
No trolling.
Allow them.
Maybe.
We went over this in the LCS.
You cannot get him to do anything.
All right, fine.
OK, let me start with HLE first seed out of the LCK.
A lot of pressure.
Bit of a dicey start, chat.
But in the end, small feet.
Number one seed from the LCK.
This is what it looks like.
It very started the game.
I was really hoping to be able to drop some fire memes
if PSG beat them and stay like, you know,
run at these loss to this.
But I didn't get to do it.
because it really actually did show up there is
uh... there's a big story line this tournament for me about peanut and
whether or not he's going to be able to show up because he's had
a lot of chances of the world championship it's never gone his way
but he has another powerhouse team now who
honestly one of the best game ones we've seen of any team at worlds today
that's a good point and talk about like having a lot of chances and not
capitalizing on it
some people only get one chance and they immediately capitalize on it
that guy is also uh... are
I'm a pro player of the game, but this is the best min-maxer I've ever seen in my life.
He is just one of the most clutch players in League of Legends.
Like, he shows up when it matters. The ramp up he had going into summer and just his play-offs performance in general was incredible.
You thought that when he won the World Championship, that was the best of Seca you were going to care.
It was for two years.
And it certainly was. You're right about that, but hey, World Championship is back.
So is Seca, and he's looking phenomenal.
Something that I loved about how the Honolive play around Zeka is that they know how to get gold on top of him.
This game, he was the one that was finding the plays.
The case that was happening bot lane, he gets a kill there.
We already saw the Riptero play, he got a kill there.
A lot of the times he is operating these fights so well, and he's finding the opportunity.
That was really sick.
Man, I find Zeka and Peanut being teammates to be amazing.
Yeah, because Zaka, he played great in his latest LCK final, but he's the guy who shows up at Worlds super average in the LCK.
Peanut, like one of the LCK jungle goats at Worlds, super mid, so now you combine these two together and they're going to make the perfect pair.
Yeah, they're going to balance each other out. It's a great beat and Zaka is standing by in our Verizon Post Game interview.
Stage, the Honwa Life is first win here at Worlds. Zeca, thank you so much for joining me into this game.
Shox was actually just talking about the synergy between you and Peanut. Can you tell me more about the relationship you guys have?
And as you can see in the teaser video today, Pina said that he's the lucky winner of the LCK World Championship.
What do you think about that?
First of all, he said that he will win the LCK World Championship every time he goes to Worlds.
And this time, he went to Worlds and we will go to the LCK World Championship to make him smile.
We had peanut making it to Worlds, we had an LCK team winning Worlds, and as an LCK team I hope I can make peanuts for my LCK team.
Transcend the ZECA as average in the regular season, insane at Worlds, and peanut insane in the regular season and average at Worlds, so they're a good pairing.
ZECA's regular season was insane though.
This time it's a completely different story. You're the LCK winner, there's a lot of expectations for Honwa Life eSports.
How much does it change your perception of Worlds and how you're going to attack this championship?
In fact, if you look back at the 22-year-old Worlds, you participated as an underdog at that time, and then used the record of winning.
This time, the fact that you came to Worlds as the champion of the LCK No. 1 seed is a bit different from that of the Worlds.
I think it's a bit different from when you came to the seed two years ago.
Of course, there is a sense of responsibility and anxiety, but I think you have to take responsibility as an LCK seed, so I think you have to do well.
Well obviously compared to 2022 I'm feeling a lot more pressure and maybe more stress
because we are representing LCKS the first seed but I think it's a
reciprocability that every first seed team has to take.
Alright we'll see how you deal with pressure this time around fantastic job
and thank you for your hard work.
Thank you so much for the translation and that's all for us here on this side of the stage.
We'll be back for the 7th game.
Diamonds are made under pressure and so is Zeka.
Making their W against Gammys for a stay-tuned.
Fly quest versus Gamm, Jesus.
Dun dun dun, circle around.
Alright, Chasen.
We got some big pace coming up now.
Some big fucking pace.
We're back on track.
It's white buppo time versus Gamm.
This guy's inting no, says buppo.
I'm gonna put the chat in 10 seconds for moats.
If that's okay moats.
Seems like the Genessory is toned down a bit.
If you're there the general game will put on 20
Good night from Western Australia. You're good. Not cut whip. Oh
It'll be kind of awkward for people to lose this game, especially even more. What if you get solo killed by?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When it's on a few spanish to them
Yo cloud soul is on vacation. No cap that things fucking disappeared, bro. What happened to it?
What happened to cloud soul? Have you seen this? What is this?
The FlyQuest World Type video, yeah I saw it, chat my pickums are doing pretty shit, I'm not gonna lie.
Actually they're doing okay, they're not doing that bad, but look at this man, look at this, look at the pickums chat.
Infernal soul, Infernal Drake's just took over, how is Cloud Soul in Plains number one after one day of Suicid's second to last?
We still got most banned Skarner, fuck man, Rel is most picked, Cassante's falling off, come on guys, lock in.
come on guys come on guys we got to start locking in this is falling off this
is falling off my Jarvan's disappeared this is falling off my pickum's are
getting ruined my pickum's getting ruined who did I put for most unique
champs on the team I forgot I put three pentakills oh my god I'm completely
ill BLG fuck I shouldn't have put BLG that was stupid fuck as long as game
45 16 though I got that correct highest winner champ more guys long to get played once at worlds. I'm sure of that
That was stupid. I was really stupid
Kajal believers
Yeah, thanks for the two months reason I'm much love you put highest win rate atrox. Do you have a chance? Yeah, you're not too bad
Too bad might have a chance
What is happening
We've been so far we're not.
What are they laughing at?
What are they laughing at?
What's funny?
Oh my god, we can't replicate that on very short.
It's getting a little silly, it's silly hours.
We still have two best ones to go.
It's very serious.
It's World Championship.
Yeah.
But it's...
You put the Garen for win rate.
Do you have a chance now you're fucked?
Sorry buddy.
Almo!
Like us versus Gam.
Up next and then we've got G2 versus Payne.
So not all is lost yet.
We're going to start with this one.
And with Gam, the RVCS is first seed.
seed. Now you may remember them from the planes because they came through completely unscathed
to 0, SHG and Rainbow 7. Best performing team in planes. Yeah, I think for sure with the ability
to win every game. Keia was the one that was most impressive to me. He had back-to-back
Aurora wins in his first series. He has K-Ping for win rates. Win rates will be hard. Win
rates hard. It'll be decided later on. Must have been good. It was the other champion.
to be your brother why are we doing this I feel like we should just move on
night it was great performance great oh yeah damn time babies giving away jerseys
the game in general was actually a fact of how controlled they were with the
gameplay because it was not your ordinary VCS gameplay that came out
whether just going mega hard with tempo and taking every fight you saw a damn
flag and he went through all the game jerseys through Levi's specific hell
yeah my favorite games from Levi was his Savannah game just because of how
Controlled on how efficient his path on the game funds
Great champion at their first is the LCS first seed you heard that right? It's fly quest
You know
That makes sense but talk to me about how fly quest ended up as your number one seed a lot of it was just how good they were and teamfighting
What about the minions tell me how good the minions were
This guy right here quad became the best mid laner in the LCS by the playoffs
And a lot of it was how they funneled resources to him on sidelines
I think they were really smart around it and how good they were around what was like
Ivern Renekton comps or specifically how they're playing teamfights around the space that
Liffle was providing. Oh, yeah, Inspired to MooMoo.
They all clicked in by the time they were the finals versus team Liffle.
They were really committed to their identity, but their identity did shift from the last time
I think a lot of people saw flight quest when they lost at MSI Plans
Yes, PSG, so they would have for one humble life
Yeah, every single time was up if it was there, and I think they played so much more around their true carries quad and Masu
There is also very willing to whip out Tom, baby
They really did manage to pivot their style and playoffs and that's ultimately what led them to this guy's in
We don't have the camera in us right now. I thought you're about to point in the minion in the free house when you were talking about
I think they have the level of play to showcase at their best what it means to be an N18.
Liquid lost their last game, so my best friend is FlyQuest now, and the Inspired, um, Inspired,
I mean, Best Western Jungler coming into the tournament, question mark?
Yes, undoubtedly, and he's such a complete player, as you can see.
At the beginning of the split, he was playing such a carry-centric style, you can see
the Nilly, Carthus, Taliyah, and all these things, but then by the end, to the point
that...
Kappa, maybe it curses them and makes Gary's work, that would be funny.
Masu and he made the joke of him being like a kitten because he was playing Ivern he was going bot lane
He was basically saying all right. I'm playing supportive styles. He was letting those two carries really go for it
So it really is any games left to play today. Yeah, I mean the flight was in the game and
G2 pain gaming is really rallied around and they've been consistent themselves one thing
I will say with inspire though, and I think we saw this rear
It's ugly head and MSI is if other players on his team are struggling
I think that can throw inspired off his game
But if his lanes are stable and he's trusting them then he really gets to shine
I agree
efficient and pathing and he knows like how to win the game through teamfighting
But as the opponents of his laners get stronger
Yeah, sometimes I can get if he and two players that I would say from both sides that I'm looking forward to from
Gam side emo because he was a way that actually really was delightful for me with this
Yone play they're probably gonna ban it away from me. He was too good on he was too good on that from
FlyQuest side, Busio, who's definitely want to showcase a much better performance than he did at MSI
What's Emo backwards?
But I think during the regular season he was really quite good and then by the playoffs it was nice
And I think he's gonna have a much better performance here today. All right now
I want to take a look at how the VCS, but Gam specifically has been doing against NA because we have a couple of memories
So we're gonna pull up that record again, 3 NA4 in terms of match record, best ofs, and then game 5-9, so it's better than best of ones.
Oh no, it certainly is, but I also think historically we can talk about these things, but this game that's been showing up this time seems so much more controlled than the game we saw earlier.
I understand now some teams will kind of just get sucked into that chaos that they bring, but that's not really gonna be the case this time around.
And I'm keeping my eyes on the top side of map 4, of the map 4 game.
Kiyaya has been phenomenal. I'm personally really looking forward to the matchup against Wimpo. He's been talking a big game
Levi the best Vietnamese jungler as well. Well, the rest of the map from Gamma is gonna bring
I think that is yet to be decided. I think they've been really good match players and some just leveling up
But I generally think
Versus Kiyaya, I'm so excited because
And the review afterwards.
The review afterwards, I mean it's...
Yeah, we need to see what gets reviewed, Chet.
Giving all of the notes and the pointers to everyone and it's just like...
I feel like it's putting a lot of pressure on yourself.
Oh, certainly. Yeah.
And Gamma's gonna make it a messy game.
So almost certainly we're going to get a review.
Like it doesn't matter for why.
Because they're going to team fight.
Gamma's gonna come in, they're gonna play Shyvana, Aurora.
They're gonna make these fights messy.
And it's just gonna be...
It's like we're gonna ban Shyvana.
I mean I'd love to like get him to do review live on the desk.
If he's down, if we could pull that off it would be incredible.
I see. I heard we have an additional minute to cover here but yeah I mean...
A pink keyboard, pink mouse.
Or is that right? I'm colorblind I guess. I don't know, I can't tell.
Should not be underestimating Gam here.
You are really taking it back that the FlyQuest picked right there actually the first or the only team today to do so if they had a choice.
Yeah we realized that so throughout the entire Swiss stage the team from the higher pool gets to choose sides
And of the eight teams that got to choose, as you said, FlyQuest is the only team to choose red.
Also, similar to what they did in playoffs, we had entire best fives, where they'd be on red side every single game,
because they'd pick red and their opponents would pick blue just over and over again.
So they're very committed to this side.
I wish I knew exactly why they do it, because it's not like they're utilizing a huge top lane counter pick.
As you said, BWIPO is literally just playing with the rest of the team whenever it's open.
Quick thing, if FlyQuest wins this G2, I swear if you lose, you're going to ruin the whole day.
Everything's been standard, and they're just fucking loose.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Cool force facing down.
Now it is good having a resident NA cast, but let me say, you know, play by a playcast.
Cap's dead, I saw him!
You also, at Death's Gatlin, you can do it all.
Thank you, thank you.
So you've got the full layout of this flight quest lineup that made the upset in the finals versus TL.
I don't know how you're first seen.
TL, who's heard of that?
This is our first scene, you know, this is where we're pitting all our hopes here.
To try to get back at NA, we have to try to get back at NA.
Man, if GamWins, I know Azale's voice is just going to slowly go into cat despair mode as the game goes on.
I'm going to be able to hear it.
You know they talked about it obviously on the desk, but I was just so impressed by how much the team leveled up in playoffs
And also the shift in play style in playoffs is also really important as well
Similarly to how you know, I was talking about TL
This is a team that if you look back to spring and you only watch them in spring or going MSI
Everyone just talked about how it's just about inspired playing towards
Their thing and they're gonna win if they can do that. Well, well, it shifted massively
You know, obviously Raz was talking about Quad and highlighting him
But it's also about Masu and just having a lot of faith in these young carries in quad and Masu
You know to be able to really get it done and going into playoffs inspired really moved away from what was his heavy farming
So and he was spending Ivern and a moomoo and champions like this to just
Yeah, I said are they gonna ban Levi's Trivena, that's all I want to know are they gonna ban leave our show
He's rebooting. He's doing the fake her
would I get into the team with fly quest to you know having more versatility more
of a huge red salt for this warband trivena when I guess your last one has
to be six then if scanners down if you want to believe in North America at
least fly quest here doesn't even by the slam of by be one of those
situations where six band by first pick getting first place right they
gotten easier dryer playing against the team from plans yeah having to play
against an LPL or an LCK team does that mean yeah I will take rumble on
So what happens here? Vi, Rumble, Renekton's down, they could do Yone, Sej, I'm not sure
actually, depends what direction Rumble is, but I'm sure Plypoz will take, I mean it
You might be Rumble or Kali actually again.
Kalista.
Kalista 1-2.
Kalista Ivan.
They could go Poppy Rumble if they want.
And it could be Poppy Yone.
I kind of like Rumble Yone for 2-3 here for Damneder.
I'm guessing Quad has a counter into Yone, if they're not taking it.
Okay, they're gonna take Poppy. Flex it, top support.
Come on, a Poppy top game would go mega hard for the picking chat.
I
Okay, I mean flyquests could take your name on three now, but it's not the best unit game
They could do well
Supports
So I was hoping he could go support now.
Now I can target mid.
They could do...
...Singra R events with Vi.
They could do Singra as well.
Then they could blind Vione on 4, so I guess Gam is going to win Vione, surely Vione Akalivan looks actually no Akalivan for the best.
You know Vione is not good against Akalivan, Vione Ivern does sound really annoying.
Oh, Bwipo might go Olaf this game actually, it looks like a good Olaf game doesn't it?
Ivern Olaf against Poppy Vi?
I'm pretty heavily I mean seeing that she didn't get hit get locked in for Gamma as well as Jack's been
I think Olaf and it's pretty good
I would be a little bit scared of all that especially if you have to go rumble or not
Rumble then
I think if they get sucked into banning something like Cassante, then QWAP can just pick Mid lane on 4, and they have Olaf on 5.
I think Flyce in the winnable draft pretty hard. What can Gannadu do? Blind Kennen?
We'll be curious to see where he does elect to go as he has his rumble removed
And it's gonna be I guess gem has to do syndrome question is or tell you any of the the LEC or LCS
With Kenan just on a mid and double AD carry and this sort of stuff
So I was curious with the Ivern if they were going to go back that routes
But instead it is going to be the Orianna. I don't like tell you though protection for massive here
And quite high damage so great scaling over on the flight west side obviously from their mid later
I need damage, I need lots of damage.
Akali, ooh, okay.
And Mercs against their champs is pretty good.
I need more damage. I think it's a Kennen blind. It's definitely not a Camille blind.
I don't like Vlad.
be problematic. Vladimir would be really going to sleep.
Nar, yeah, I thought you would go Nar. I'm kind of scared of Olaf on 5 here.
Is he going to do it with us?
Copy support, Akali mid, Nar top, alongside that Vibe.
There's a 0% chance that Bubba is going to get locked in.
0% chance.
0% chance.
Yeah, it's not going to play games.
This is just a hover from Buzio. I truly will never believe that that's going to get locked in.
This is what's going to get locked in.
Okay.
Alright chat, I'm going to run ads. If you want to avoid ads, you can subscribe.
We'll see you on one or on the next one.
You know, if you want to you will be back before the game starts appreciating on stuff. You get no ads for the rest of the world
I'll see you in a second
Sion for the Lane Swaps maybe
Maybe it's a silent game for the Lane Swaps
when it was, you know, LCS versus
LEC and first time I had met I'm never talking when I left. He just started telling me their whole draft plan
I'm like, you shouldn't be telling me this like don't tell me this I'm not gonna leak it
He's just you know, he's really open. He's really talkative. He's great
You know as far as that goes and he's been creating I think so much content around world
He's been great. He's been like the little villain, right? Yeah, as much as you know, some people don't like it and some people
Don't have spoken he is again as you said great content, but also
I mean fly quest draft is pretty solid. They're strong. They scale well. They have good front line
Not very heavy side lane team, but it's okay. I think
He will tell you and it said constantly he thinks he's the worst player on his team
And he's saying you know
It's a privilege to play on a team where you are the worst player on your team
And you need to be working hard to to live up to that to be able to keep pace with your teammates
And to be able to make sure you're tired looking
This is what he talked about time and time again
If you watch this dream is that he is going to do his job
He is gonna play to set up his teammates for success and that is the role that he sees for himself now on this team
And so as much as people want to talk about ego to me that is about as like humble as it gets
I mean again
It's a great narrative coming in because FlyQuest in their debut have got a lot to show up here for
no matter how early your loss for Teal.
Yeah, I mean, the lane is kind of rough when it was so winnable against LNG.
Now, this one, people are saying should be FlyQuest, but Gamm came through plans so
unconditionally well undefeated.
Are they going to get upset?
The Gamm time or FlyTime?
We're about to find out here in our second-last game of day, number one here for Swiss.
And as you said before, Gamm is kind of useless this game.
I know she's going into Kalista, but other than that...
I like the Poppy and Calista but the Flyquest and Drafts are champions that Poppy doesn't do the best of them.
Should be okay though. Let's see.
The only thing I worry about with drafts like Ganon's Draft is your AP damage is an assassin.
So your AP damage is a burst. So getting through the Sion actually is quite difficult.
Here comes the Lane Sob with the Sion. They're probably going to do a different Lane Sob iteration here where Flyquest just sacrificed the Sion to die on them.
the silence of die-on-the-dives just to catch the wave
It's a weird lane-top iteration because no one's taking mid-expe. So Elmo, it's getting his XP trained a bit,
But it looks like they're moving away from him. I mean the sion will die in the same spot. He will die.
Wipo is agreed and accepted that he is dead. And he is gonna stand there and he's gonna die.
You can see by his movement, he's tanking all their damage. He's just trying to get the XP.
He's gonna die and he's gonna TP back and then no one's gonna cover him.
So I can tell you for a fact Wipo is dead.
Inspired is trying to cover, but he's gonna fuck his path in doing this.
I feel like Gnar should be down here, but he's not level 2.
Actually, can Lippo live this maybe with the double shields from Inspired as well?
He should be one shot, right?
Now he takes the wave with the Sion passive.
Like I said, this is expected, it's normal. I think that FlyQuest was kind of playing for this.
Now he TP's back instantly, and then he gets all the XP.
So he's sacrificing Gold to Jhin for being ahead against NAR.
And this is Bausun's Law.
do it again so you know that is kind of that difficulty but thankfully for gam that kill went
exactly where you would want it it went to easy love that the eye would have been way less
beneficial if it went so like you know the because iran's not top diving this gnar is pretty
difficult poppy's here lea tries to bring brucea back into raid some good damage done
he might have a quad white he's got so much to do he's run low on mana here but forces
emo out as he gets on this patch give mana back so he's pretty safe strong laner you know
One of the things that FlyQuest talked a lot about again is that this is a guy who is too selfless and they really kind of wanted to instill into him that
No, you are going to carry the game. You need to be greedy. You need to play for yourself
And so that's something that FlyQuest has really been working on
That's what FlyQuest has really been working on is to try to really set himself up for success
And not always feel like he needs to not call for resources
And that's part of what kind of is
Sound is just smorkeling his lane. Me spawn wave, me get xp
farming people were calling him you know the full clear CEO and stuff like all of
these kind of memes but you know he is willing to play all of the styles I
think that's what makes him such an impressive level five silent this guy
is one MVP in multiple leagues and he really can play such a high level for
pretty much every champion and I mean again having so much versatility as a
jungler such a good thing here especially hitting towards us so much
much looks kind of needed here I feel like inspired gapped umpteen that
It's not even all that happened right he absolutely crushed him and I mean he is someone that hope
Take the pussy over these okay. Oh that calypso you the only actual point in Q there and now wouldn't be on a patch of your
What nervous about you know, can I walk forward on this wave?
You know, Masi was kind of thinning it out a little bit
They're allowed to keep pushing out towards fight those double damage
Yeah, of course gonna just hold this and make sure to keep denying as much as possible from Kiaia
Where's on the other side come on give me a cloud soul at least once today
Wipo is gonna keep farming and Wipo is getting way ahead as far as that CS is concerned
We saw it before you know and what we called the T1 early game master class where Jackie love on this gym
Couldn't really brush the sides couldn't really get away with only fucking quipo is locked in the gym was slow
Pushing slower taking down some of these tanks as well
As you just highlighted there
It's a nice touch considering as the push comes out Wipo's okay for now
He's picked up quite a lot of CS in this lane as well
400 Gold we must sorry if the next week is cloud rate. I'm gonna back to it
Well, he has to reset and go ball. Exactly. It's it's a smart play here from fly quest. Just utilizing the sign utilizing that passive
Pick up as much farm as possible as that Levi does
Inspired up a level and then go back towards his I miss jungle pathing. He must have absolutely cooked Levi in the jungle pathing
It's a really good game for fly question top jungle top jungle is absolutely smurfing
And try to proxy this wave and keep KIA away from it. You can see on the mini map
They're kind of like jostling for position while that is happening. This is all lost farm here
So quickly spending the all here's a two level advantage and he's doing a lot of damage waiting for the decimating smash
He finds that he gets a grass stack presses a if he goes into zombie. We both also kill Kiaya
He just waited for it. Oh, yes shield coming up the flash away is where I just tries to survive
He's got no man. I know come back and he's already burned the old
It's just really like a psycho from whip. Oh here. It's great. Yeah. He's so far ahead of the gnar
Even though he died zoning Kiaya away
So even though QIS survives, it cost him his flash, it means he lost multiple minions to that.
And on the top side, they're utilizing the prowl that they have with Kalista to get all three of this grub.
So this is really good stuff here on the map from Fly Quest.
They're down a hundred dollars worth of gold, and they're up 1,000 gold here.
Not even seven minutes in.
I mean, again, remember that because of all the health that he's gained off that W as well,
from killing the minions with the minion advantage we talked about before,
Make those dives worse and worse and worse as the game goes on and obviously gets tankier and tankier and tankier.
Listen, if FlyQuest start winning, EU claims FlyQuest.
If they start losing, EU doesn't claim FlyQuest. Simple.
Deal?
Two of the grubs for four, so that's a trade we're looking at for now.
But we also know that there's two parts of the game.
We've seen a number of teams play really well on the map movement.
You think back to the TL game early, their early stages were great.
I do think they were out playing LNG as far as their late assignments and far as sour they were moving around the map.
But you have to be able to execute in those 5v5s and here they go!
Okay, well they set it up and Poppy tries to stop them with the stepfiles present, but it's not!
Oh, nice flash fight button!
Wait, Masu can cook here a bit, maybe?
Nice, he's too slow.
That Jin does have boots of mobile...
Switch position.
Great play there from Masu, just utilizing the ulti.
BWP is up here to go top, and they're gonna just rotate their bot back towards bot lane.
BWP almost has the ulti and it comes out!
Easylove's still here, it could get a little bit dicey, to be honest, so...
He's gonna have to pay some respect.
He's got the thumbs up. I'm waiting for it too.
As Daisy says bye bye.
Inspired, stops NAR from pushing it in.
I think we're making this Iron Champ watching it run around the show in line.
But their tempo is so bad because he's basing so much later and KIA has no TP.
This game is absolutely perfect for fly quests.
Again, you're losing the wave to the tower.
So, you know, their map movements are...
Yeah, big pressure on the map.
Obviously, this is partially because Fly have the bush,
on some of these resets are being a little bit greedy a little bit late to the punch that's an entire
wave that is gone and that is nearly 2000 gold lead now for fly quest here and this is not even
nine minutes in this is the best part of lane swap biz you can see so many minute differences but
when it exploits like this as we've read looks for the decimating smash damage you just see
what a team that is experienced this i guess going up against tl has given them a lot of
of experience, especially in the domestic league,
what FlyQuest can do with an early game that's exposed like that?
Absolutely.
I mean, we'll see if they can make it happen when it does come
down to those teamfights.
But thus far, it is a map kingdom here for FlyQuest.
They are playing the map really, really well.
They're excelling in that macro game.
We'll see if they can continue developing with this.
As football, obviously, eventually you
are going to be pretty far on the back against this NAR.
But you're hoping at that point
that you're just so tanky that the NAR really
can't pressure you out.
And then you just have more value in the fight and fight, but you're not worried about the early game in that regard.
I because you're almost a one K gold here on this not 20 CS.
Yeah, the Sion thinking about it.
Look at dams damage here at well.
Kill Sion.
Gina Carly leads me to believe that again, we pose in flying form as we talked about a little bit before.
And bro is not taking any damage with the chain vest with the Kindle gem already picked up.
Things looking good here for the flight quest early game that we talked about.
You mentioned 2K.
I'm also looking at those grubs for one minute and thinking, well, with that gold leaf.
Quad's cooking.
Quad's cooking.
Quad.
Quad's not only like cooking.
Yeah, Quad is cooking
Yeah, it's European pop-side, it's pretty good
this ultimate there's Leona all there's so much you see there to follow you
notice as well tell what was missing any friends if like we start winning it's a
wheel okay deal it has to be a walk two out of three of your two out of five
your players are you deal you said whatever it's a week it's a we angle
five start traveling down to see if there's anything he can do so at least
getting the objective here when the so far behind yeah they will be able to
get the objective and this is gonna be for gross for them so they are gonna
get the void might spawn that is very very nice boost you get listen you
gonna have like a sixth of g2 if we can get black west get a fuck with that
pull it back and make sure that he can secure this just think was probably you
get you get a voucher of saying we want to in g2 place any sort of yes we of
course know that inspired was not there but inspired now has the redemption
done black west starting to complete these items they're not gonna feel
pressure with this style of comp I know they have an incredible amount of
confidence that when they are playing these style of compositions with the
Ivern that they will outscale that it will be 5v5 but they do get spotted
It's a wee angle this world said
That's quite nasty
It's a bit far away for now but he has Flush and Ulti available as you said
and the Jin Trapsils are helped out with the Vision Game too
The FlyQuest notice him or at least
You think he's spotted?
No it wasn't
No it definitely didn't happen on there but they are going to check
Ivern has his redemption
They are definitely aware of the possibility so Levi will notice
Levi doesn't have the best follow up
So the next question is what happens with this Dragon downfall
because you can see the inspired is there now that Levi spotted out top are they gonna commit for the
dive that they're gonna continue for this play and try and maximize it or does live on it now need
to sprint towards bottom try maxing out I think it would be too hard of a play to why is gnar
leading me for a soryna I don't think flypuss are gonna be down oh is that playable the dragon
they don't really have a lack of damage you're looking back yeah that's true you know if they
stand there if they're bot lane down there then maybe they're gonna be looking towards it but
there's really not been too much prior on the dragons that's far they're gonna continue farming
They feel like a scaling advantage and they're gonna keep playing towards that as Bupo can be able to grab a plate
For that time that was spent top from Levi Bupo knows, you know what?
I'm not pressured if there's no jungle here. You're not killing me one-by-one
So walks up claims the plate and they're just gonna keep pushing towards these first item completions where they'll feel very strong
You know you can see item now done here for quad
There's waiting on the blade of ruin king for Masu and that's where I think we're gonna see fly quest start to come
Alive a little bit more and start feeling confident that they can look towards some of these fights
But really the pressure is way more on game when you're playing this style of comp like you're effectively for me
Yeah, there's many are for range, but you're effectively for melee and full dive
But you need to make things happen way more. I think the play quest does as you said full commit
And I think that's just showing game like kind of like what we're talking about with PSG pulling out
What you'd argue is a risky composition right has good thematics, but against the team like fly against
Maybe
Sure can flip as email has to get on out because quad is continuing to use the range
Well gam just take care of Daisy now finally looking toward the bottom side with setup on scuttle
Potentially set up around the dragon as well. What fly look top. Yeah, nice little trick
Can they dive this game are
Come on man, it's gotta be as clouds all right. It's gonna be a cloud so come on me by
come on
Mastery on the champ and is gonna move top. It is in front of so long fucking done
Here he gets a set up, set up by the keepers verdict and fly getting up with the redemption
comes in handy, the cage is deep for Boussio to try and get on out but now he's got Quad
a one man shotcrab onto Emo means perfect execution out no one dies as a set up and summoner is a burden in the process
Yeah Levi looking to try to pressure Quad here at least keep him away from some of those minions
game babe not working out there for fly at the end of the day it's gonna be a flash for
inspired for a little bit of time coming in your mouth likewise they're gonna finish Seraphs
On the way out, there it is. They have Blade on Kyrgyzstan.
Flycrush is mega-chilling this game. Mega-chilling.
Now this quick bossaion pick is absolutely free win.
I'm convinced, like he's convinced the chat.
This Mosquito Jin build Akali is doing nothing for a style.
Look at him. NAH!
He's gonna give the gold to Krob. Holy fuck, what a nice guy.
just sits there and Otto's silent 300 times so who's supposed to kill this guy
right like he's gonna be walking at Jin in almost every team fight and Jin
just kind of has to walk away I mean again with all the results we're both
getting I'm armor sack he's gonna come through soon right he's sitting on
MR but like you've got you know got the Akali but the rest is AD so for
Wippo so easy in this game to atomize right sorry down there need to spare
his armor start and it may be going towards we'll see you know when you
When you watch him play this a lot, he'll go to a board, he'll go to a board, he'll sometimes go to a board, like Sterak's in play, he's not good at the end of the year, you lose your styles, which, you know, can't work really, really well because Simon gets so much free HP with that W passive that you were talking about.
Is he going high-dress, Sterak's? What's he cooking?
He's got so much health, he's already gotten, so, you know, going on 700 free health.
Yeah, what the fuck is the blood nail build?
I can definitely make him a threat, you know, even just with that one armor, and then a ton of AP.
It's with that armor AD item, right?
Right
Imagine flyquests are talking mountain trees with this
Yes 700 stacks.
you if you do not have the perfect execution message if you don't cast a
rovers great sauce and rolls come down for whatever daisies they're peeling
barrier against pop Oriana shield comes through all of a sudden you're not even
close to killing them for and you're all dead God master cut land economy
snapshot in the main wall idea for gold mid I'm sorry in top I'm me it's
about 1k and everything else is daisies and peaches here the fly is a yeah it
is so frustrating it's been a slow game you guys sitting at home going well
when the action gonna happen but you know for fly they're picking up these one
items the two items coming across and starting to build towards as well they
have the gold leaf they'll have the autumn advantage of the fight advantage
here is third dragon comes up and obviously that's gonna be something
I'm happy taking the fight at that point is the night anyway yeah exactly I
think that's what fly quest is gonna look towards and then the question is
getting to do about it well it's another story that's similar in past
One shot Orianna or busts with Viakali, because I mean Sion is strong right, but if his team
had died then he's completely useless.
They need to get past Sion.
That's probably why he's building some damage.
It's a good homebreaker for some kids.
Yeah, Shawnee pushes away the bases.
Yeah, wait down, wait down.
Yeah, it's annoying as well. The longer these fights go, the more that mood zone gets value, and
Part of the point of your life is just like this Ivernus 2 op.
Masu, you know, he's now the only one that has actually been, Bupu went back and spent, got his tier 2 boots
Everyone else on FlyQuest hasn't found that time to base. Masu maybe won't feel that he needs to, but I mean
He is sitting on 2k, so as much as there is a gold platoon force like this
I feel like it's too late now. He can't base.
Storm Surge, Orianna?
Trading Lotto. How can Gamtrade? This tower is never dying. Look at Bripode.
He actually is white bars.
do. Sion walks at you, are you gonna e into him? Like, fuck. You're gonna maybe break his
toes. You know, that's a very, very difficult. There's no sustained damage. It's hard to...
They get herald, but I don't know if they can use it anywhere. Think of a cop that's
towards the killing tanks that are what Gamhaft drafted. Of course, their goal is not to
kill the tanks, to go past the tanks and just be able to kill off the carries, but
that is very tough with Iron Worm with Ori, you know, with some of these defensive
items. You can see second item now complete for Quad, and I think Maus is probably gonna
have a second item nearly done by the time he goes back he's gonna be working
towards that rage blade very likely here and you're gonna be sitting in a
really good he suckers take four months I mean I've seen many comms out of fly
and especially you know looking back in the finals looking back in in the
series versus a hundred thieves as well this feels like a very patient fly
question very not reserved but like well thought out style of flyquests in
the first 20 minutes of this game I can tell you from talking to some of
These guys are playing the coaches like this is just a draft where I think they thought they wanted draft if they play slow
So they are gonna try to not rush it. They're gonna try to not get nervous. They're saying, you know what our win condition is
Farm and do nothing and game has to disrupt us. So if they feel right fix, that's it
which is horrible for game
You know that isn't really rough. They're gonna be happy to just play as well. So we'll play it
I can't kill Buzio yet. He gets it not
here from Zyle.
Hola!
It'll be almost cooked, but I don't think you can cook shit.
Where's the damage at?
There's no damage.
There's no damage.
There is actually no damage.
I mean, it's really, really tough, you know, again.
I mean, it heals all those damage.
Easy.
Where you feel like you're losing and there hasn't even been a fight yet like nothing has happened
But you feel like you're losing the game so it really does put pressure on them to try to make some sort of a pick
They go for busio, but he has an Ivern shield. There's a reaction. Why these games fucking two kills a piece man
I want the fly quest game to be I'm gonna try my fight. This guy's into no references, but this game is like for game
It's like going to warm up and there's no cheese, but it's taco night
What does hysteric say half the time?
What does he say half the time this fast computing on the Zaza man?
Oh this quick robot's sterak now
Take the train for one more chatbot
get their cheese you don't follow the reference then let's go to the start they
try to go to Walmart and for gam as they defend this mid lane turret again maybe
the doors are closed and with Daisy out of for six versus five but the whole of
gam even as they move in are getting forced off the keepers here's the
gauge can they kill someone pull the trigger with a three another contest
Oh
Almost cost Palestine, but that's it. It's done better way. This is so fucking done
Oh, they are shockwave still
They should just get burned easy club, but perfectly
Dancing around in the fight dodging skill shots is able to survive and just like that
You can play you wanted it's not there the damage before they have no damage now as fly quests are gonna crush the fight gonna take the baron
G3 please don't lose the pain. Oh my god
Looking well thought out of the fly quest steps away. I lost this losing the pain was would be actually like funny
But now it's just not fine. It's not funny anymore. Just get gold lead with the red bull baron power play
Yeah, they are looking a really really strong the sterix is complete for but post it two items across the board now here
As we can watch this one more time
Game you know what they say are enough is enough. They're pushing their CG interface
Bupu is taking the tower so they just full go with it
They try to get in the back line and burst out inspired be flashes. He shields himself. He drops her a dimension
You can see Kiaia is just full targeting on to
I can't he R2 just missed and he had the E on him as well. I think that he can go for it
The flash came from Bupu there was actually quite the same
And then she jumps to Gen W
He did not panic when he was getting low there played it out really well
And you can see the intensity on their faces mega locked
Yeah, he's going well, but they know is
They get top tier one, but they lose mountain dragon every mountain dragon that you give her freaking southern Leona stings
Looking for top tier two
I think Gryffold is run to them and says
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
Ah, they can't take the tower and they will stay seriously
HELLO!
HELLO!
Oh, they have demolished, maybe they can actually put four drops
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
HELLO!
You can build a little bit of damage like the Sterak's, as it synergizes so incredibly well with his HP stacking passive, gives him so much bonus AD on this team.
It takes him a while. Damn no, the Drake's not dead yet, so they have time if they want to just get top tower in his face.
Can Bwipo hold this, he should be able to ride the Sterak's.
I don't know, I'm not enormous enough. I mean, the thought's about overlaughts bloodmounds.
Uh, me by? Nice.
as they keep trying to dive this area, almost dies, one hit away, that play from Gan though
was two turrets in the top side, so guys, I guess, steroids, we're talking about fly in the baron play
but now things are stabilized as fly tried to trade out through bot as we saw on that mini map.
Yeah, exactly, I mean it's smart play from Gan because if you can't defend, then you cross map,
right? Like, their wave clear is absolutely abysmal, like how are you supposed to actually
stop the baron push here with four melee champs basically and a jhin, it's just not really
gonna happen so they try to look for a play on the other side who will defense as well as he can
almost gets a kill fly quest gets some gold down on the bot side and this bear power play is still
going up despite the fact that they didn't grab a couple of stars on that top side of the map
and buy revidans and have features plus archangel storm surge revidans they've gotten their second
mountain dragon they can work to work this mountain soul mountain soul is for ivan i bet you
this like 80 percent of people in chat are gonna say yo tazer what the fuck is that i've
I've never seen that item before, what is that?
Huh?
Okay Joel, what is that?
Hey!
The fuck is that item I've never seen it before?
Sorry, it's like the least common item.
Is it what it is? You get more AP depending on how much ability you have or something?
They're setting five people and they're ending the game.
So, FlyQuest are just going to stay around.
They're kicking over Vision in the enemy jungle, making sure there's no possibility of a flank.
Wait, how much mana regen he has, does it?
He's not getting one shot at the start of the fight, and he can just support these teams.
He has the Dawncourt done now as well.
So, he gets even more healing and field power when they P4 for mana regen, does it?
Larger and larger, and this team V is going to come in, but is it?
Sion just hits the tower and drinks it.
It doesn't drop only Joss, but demolishes. It almost takes it down, but Fly is still sticking around.
This is a gym building collector. There is absolutely no shop. This Madasaka is queuing up a collector in the item build.
This guy's like me on Deadlock, bro. I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.
Where's the new collector?
Oh, he's going Surf and Spang actually, never mind.
Okay, I respect it, but...
In his Surf and Spang, he needs LDR, he needs IE, he needs Bloodthirster, he needs everything.
Bang here look at incredibly strong and the silent picture start like it won the game automatically
Didn't it? Is it just me? I don't know
The silent picture just became an auto win
With Shinokali
What a clean game I've never seen such a clean game from fly quest in my living what?
I've never seen that team of a game from fly quest ever
ever
The only death here on fly quest was that I didn't know
G2, please don't fuck it up. Man, if G2 starts running it down now, we got-
Yo, if G2 win clean, then we can go to tomorrow, happy days. Reset, go again.
If G2 lose now, it's over. Like, mentally and physically, we're done.
Wait chat, Azale cast an NA win.
Wait, Azale was on the mic and they won.
Whoa!
This was a really good start to the flight bus world's performance here, especially after MSI, they really want to show up, have a strong tournament.
And thus far, they're doing great.
A clean performance that we can't really fault and forget.
You know, it does feel like we talked about the draft a lot.
We criticized that because there were no options here and it did.
Why does Quipo look like that? Quipo looks like he's fucking Conor McGregor.
Quipo was always burning down. Wibble on that scion.
Yeah, that was a bomb.
Down, down, down, down, down.
He had a claim to get exactly what it needed to inside.
It's even didn't work off with him.
And that caused him to fall in full, but that worked.
He was looking really good.
I mean, he got so much done.
I think the way that he actually played that game out
was so incredibly smart.
Obviously, the sign was a great pick.
But how much pressure he was actually putting on Keiya,
forcing the flash when he was coming back to wave
was really, really nice as well.
FlyQuest, it's good to get that first win at Worlds
out of the way here.
We've seen a lot of teams. Is it a bit for interview? Who is it? Is it a bussing? Oh, it's a bit for interview. Of course it is
We'll see you up for success in this second round where it's gonna be a lot of beasts in the 1-0 bracket
So there's no easy draws for fly quests. So they've got to make sure they are absolutely on point
Coming into this next match if they want to have a shot at it
But hell with the performance like that I mean interview analysts that a lot of people come out and say it's
It's just a quote that people use because they don't know what teams are playing so well
And then G2 wins, right?
I have a lot more faith in FlyQuest. I have a lot more faith that it's not just like, oh yeah, Bwipo's just going to play, you know, Olaf or something like, re-necked it as he constantly does. It can be messy.
I think Bwipo's got a lot of strength to him as we throw it over to the law standing by with the Brosn. Post Game interview on stage.
FlyQuest are the first Western teams to grab a victory here at Worlds and I have Bwipo with me. Thank you so much for joining me.
Thank you very much.
Welcome back to the studio, even if it's a new layout. Yeah, you like it here?
Yeah, it's upgraded. It feels very nice.
We'll talk about you coming back in Europe a bit later, but I feel like it's time for a review, people.
We're going to review lane swap because I feel like it's been the main thing that we've seen today.
It doesn't usually go well, but you're the first ones to actually make it successful,
so let's review the lane swap from a game perspective, because you ended up in a pretty good situation.
Soaking SP, actually being leveled up at the end of the lane swap.
The dive that happened, I don't really know what happened there, so you're the review master, go ahead.
Oh yeah, I mean honestly, I was shocked that I ended up dying here.
Holy, that deals some damage.
But fortunately for me, I have two health bars, so maybe that was a nice little trick.
Anything that could have been executed better on their side maybe.
Oh yeah, I mean, I'm not sure honestly, I think they dove me.
I think just the way they drafted, the best thing they can do is, I don't know, flip it?
I don't know, hope they don't get top phone?
The game was pretty slow-paced in terms of kills actually. I was wondering what was going on here.
Is this something you expected with the compositions that you had on both sides?
Oh yeah, I mean the enemy team drafted Vi, Naar, Riddalee and Jin.
I locked in Sion, so I knew that it was going to take Jin like what, 29 bullets to kill me?
It only goes 4.
Yeah, it only goes 4. It takes a long time. And you guys got the victory in the end.
As I was saying, you're back in the ADC studio.
I don't know how long it's been since the last time you were here.
But how good does it feel to be back in Europe competing for Worlds as the first seed for NA?
What do you think, people?
I feel fantastic, honestly. Europe has been nothing but kind to me.
I really am grateful for all the fans, all of you here.
Thank you very much.
And I feel really hopeful.
The last time I was the first seed competing at Worlds, I made a final.
What is the hope here?
I keep on hearing good things about you.
I don't want to talk about scrims too much, but I hear things are going well for you guys.
I think a final is a bit too overzealous, but I do think we'll make it out of Swiss.
I have great confidence in my team.
I think all of our players are exceptionally talented and worked very hard.
And I have nothing but great expectations, and I think we can live up to them.
And I cannot wait to see more from you.
Thank you so much for the interview.
Thank you very much.
On the first victory here, that's all for us on the set of the stage.
Last game of the first day, coming up, pain gaming versus G2 Esports.
Stay tuned.
Oh fuck, here we go.
here we go
oh fucker
oh fucker
why did we have to be lasted
please
see you in the next video
bye bye
i'm a windy
see you in the next video
see you in the next video
bye
yo waist kinda cute
i'm eating my food mega quick on pace
mega pace eating
And then we wake up the big time for this one.
I need G2 to stomp him.
Otherwise we got big problem.
Stomp stream today.
Get out there.
Q after?
Maybe, not sure.
He's actually really impressed with Nilla today.
No joke.
One fight but he had a really good game.
He was the only one carrying basically, but Humanoid had really good ults.
I think Fennec had a pretty hard game from draft.
Playing Zyra and Yone into the Blanc ester is really difficult.
When you're an LCS champion we've got inspired here with us.
They didn't buckle under the pressure.
How happy are you with your first win in the world?
I'm pretty happy.
I'm a little bit nervous going into the game because we have three players that are playing for the first time at Worlds.
So it's a good start for us, I think.
The nurse for the second game will probably be lower. We're kind of getting used to the stage.
I played here already, but what I was playing here was completely different.
The experience right now was like, oh no, just like night and day.
I'm at different the stage and like the fact that crowd is in front of me and like I like it
So overall it is a good experience today. Yeah, I didn't look nervous. I want to say
Yeah, none at all in fact you guys been here just like bootcamping a little bit
Have you been able to like soak in Berlin just a little bit as you said?
Not really I think most people just practicing and preparing for the game
a little nostalgic.
Anyways, we're going to answer our last game of the day
and they finally got their win.
The question is, will EU finally get their win as well?
You might say, of course they will, Sharks.
It's versus the CB Loll and Payne.
And I got a tale to tell you.
It's a tale that includes an alliance and a kaboom.
And an EVG and an I and EZ.
So I'm just going to say.
I can feel the trauma rising up.
This is our first seed out of the CB Loll
and absolutely huge DB that they made it through the plans.
They set aside Rainbow 7, who of course set aside Hunter Thieves, so they kind of, they took it, they took pieces.
Yeah, but I mean it's kind of the way they got out of play.
The shock set is thought to be success, I believe in a little bit.
They're taking games of other minor regions, they're taking games of PSG as well, I mean, yeah, they didn't win the series, but they showcase that they have potential of taking games of opponents that on paper should be better than you, and I think they've really leveled up coming into this.
One second, I'm just gonna play and then now, tournament of Worlds as well, just because they have been able to play through their bot lane in a way that didn't get disrupted, like they were actually able to do.
What they did domestically and I think that's what really stands out to me about this pain Ross. Their star was for sure
Cheetah in the ball lane. He was just completely rolling
I would say the rainbow sevens ball lane and I think that's gonna be the target going into today's games
I we've heard some things some whispers of some
I don't know if it was like five man's or scrims inspired. Have you heard the same things about pain?
I mean I saw them beating the BLG and
and the LNG players, I think yesterday in the Champions'Q.
I was really pretty impressed.
And also I played with the ADC in Champions'Q
and he also seemed pretty good to me.
Like he's aggressive in lane,
he plays all these aggressive champions.
Like I also saw him play Lucian Nami,
which I think they didn't really play at Worlds yet.
So...
Licked?
I mean, they'll be too...
They'll be too good.
It was in the...
Also Champions'Q, so...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm trolling.
I'm trolling.
So it's something too much fun.
So I think it's gonna be a lot of fighting in the bot side because everyone knows Hansa and Miki X playstyle
They are just gonna trade you and the other team also have the same playstyle. So I think it's gonna be very bloody down there
I agree with you. Hopefully we get a really exciting last game and G2 is of course the LEC's first seed once again
We know them very well. They've been together for 652 days and I was kind of thinking a little bit about this
Remember T1 last year and not comparing G2 to T1 Hold Your Horses.
Hold your horses!
Okay, T1, think about it.
When we were talking about how long that team had been together
and how they really wanted that victory,
of course T1 got much closer than G2 did,
but I have a similar feeling.
For me, this G2 right now it has put up or shut up, you know?
You have worked now for two years towards this goal
to be good internationally.
to leave you, put all your thoughts and your preparation into it as we hear from everyone
in the coaching staff.
We really need to see that big performance.
No, absolutely.
Especially because they've had the failings, they've had an international.
We always say that once you go to an international, you fail, but at least they learn from it.
But at some point, you have to have learned everything you can learn as a roster, where
you bring that point of you actually being able to try and contest for it.
And I agree with you.
I'm not saying they're going to be T1 coming into this tournament.
I'm not even...
were a bit disappointed when we saw them last time because the early game
did not look the greatest but luckily that macro has always been good and
going into this world championship you're hoping they have fixed some of those
early game issues. Yeah and I think we have the big view here of course you know
when they go up and other opponents not saying they should underestimate pain
at all. Chat spam prayer, say a prayer for you. What is your impression of them if you've
been able to watch or get to talk to them? The legions gobs that are in whatever
I could watch them through the whole season and they did the most like the most clutch out of all the teams
Don't let EU lose to Brazil, please after what's happened today we're gonna get made fun of by NA
Too much, even though they lost to Brazil already
They are just way to clutch for other teams and in practice they were not looking that great, sadly
100 decent NA at our planes, fuck you guys
Exactly, they got the genes
It used to be that one of those teams, so now it's opposite, and now it's their time to shine.
Yeah, that's a dream mentality. I mean it is true, maybe Ramal will post it and it'll be all losses,
but they've gotten to the semi-finals and that's fine with me.
I'm waiting for the post.
I'm reading it between the lines, FlyQuest is absolutely destroying G2, it's crazy.
It's actually kind of crazy because
It's not a good thing I was like, oh it's getting a little iffy for G2
Consistently in domestic play, but then they went to MSI and they have this improved. That's why I never went in solo queue on
Really some of the best so I think it's going to look good
This is when the pressure is on and they do well. I thought improving
Thank you so much inspired for joining us and good luck tomorrow
tomorrow and now it's time for G2 versus Payne.
Woo!
Get me in!
Get me in!
Get me in!
Clean for fly.
But, uh, Panji, a very different team, also came through plans, but a lot messier or
maybe a lot more stringier.
Come on, E2.
Yo, CBLO made it this far.
Now we have to see how much more damage they can do because if they can beat
G2, then my...
Rotaboyce, Rotaboyce.
...will be the biggest question mark for whoever.
Watch out for 2,000, please.
It's gonna be really exciting.
arena baby home arena home arena so many passionacy people fans up to see them at the
Swiss stage it has been eight long years since the senior ball team has been here and has
been this is your home ground G2 you know the setups you know the you can smell the
air you know the chairs smell like and they feel like you know what the monitors feel
like you know the angles of the stage you know the size of the desk you know how
bright the lights are this is you these are your headsets they've got your sweat
You don't lose to Brazil, no.
Yo, you ought to hope right now of the West winds, of the EU winds.
All the shields taken by Gigi, all the meals taken by me.
Alright, what are you cooking in draft here?
Someone have a notebook.
If that notebook's fucking blank, I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm done.
Alright, what are you cooking exactly and someone have no books?
It have no books, fucking blank, I'm done.
I'm settled with the wireless mouse, good choice.
This movie sounds like a fucking garage.
Please
They're gonna play Yone, guys. Do we want to pick Yone away, E2?
Akali bans. Mmm, that's a Yone first pick threat.
They're threatening Yone first pick.
Gitan is a player who's been getting a lot of hype, a lot of excitement, you know, has been doing very well in champskew, a lot of people are pretty impressed with him.
Sage ban, they're calling the bluff, caps it's Yone time, baby.
Caps it's Yone time, don't you dare give it up.
Watch him in the seatbelall, and also how he played, he was able to bring this to the play-in stage, he's so aggressive, he'll look for 1v1 kills.
They're probably gonna play Ezreal, so how am I gonna get that Kaisa ready?
He's gonna try to go for those kills, he's gonna look for the 2v2 on the place.
Phoebe's got a counter to that, I'm sure.
He's gonna let you know about it, if he does outplay you.
They're jumping up on stage they're popping off. That's my yo name right there
Oh, all right, Charvin. Why don't they play Aurora Wukong? Actually, you know what? I'm not complaining
Probably do Aurora Jin and then Wukong on three, right? No, actually they might not be the same
On the side of pain game is Karaoke
No, don't pick Maokai. No! Come on, Yike! What AP jungler you got to cook with?
Lilia? Brand? What are we speaking?
that sets up some of these big...
I heard maybe?
Thoughts and feelings.
Feelings and thoughts.
And the Scarner picked up a few times here
in the playing stage.
I don't like Scarner or Vi.
And maybe at Jungle, you read my mind.
Just wall the raptors and they can never leave.
But it just doesn't really go...
Brand, there we go.
Burn the tree.
Firebeats, grass.
It's Pokemon classic.
It controls vision very, very well with saplings.
He's locked in.
I can tell already.
Now we can pick top later.
You want to go Renekton?
What's good into Aurora?
Can you play LeBlanc's top broken blade?
Talk to me.
Well, yeah, we're thinking the same thing.
Now, playing game, you're gonna pick Genome 3?
You're gonna pick Alistar on 3?
What you gonna do, huh?
What's she gonna do?
What's she gonna do?
That comfort here for G10, especially when they're playing Smolder Malkai
What about Camille Moon to Smolder? Futs and feeding, feeding some thoughts. Tristana. Yeah, it's definitely the assumption that would be more top
Okay, scrap that
Go right like are they gonna flex this around because a smaller can be played top as well
Depending on the master, especially if it is no less threatening. What's your band here G2?
We're thinking something maybe farm stacks up. Maybe Ash
effective
That's your lecture maybe this brand if you do get really ahead of the mouth
I obviously mouth I does have a decent clear, but did take some nerves that you know
Okay, okay. I like it. Ash is really I like as well. You can start to really outpace the mouth
We have the wealth we could buy Alistar
I don't think Ezreal ban goes kind of hard
It's Brands bottling, is it?
Naturally not bad
Draven ban, answer my impenetraving curve
Classic to be taken in playing Draven. They want Kaisa I think on 4 or Ezreal.
With that Draven band maybe Kaisa?
Very long time. One of his pocket picks that he always can bring down really threatened you with.
They're making you say MF with his lips?
Ash obviously going to be banned away here by G2.
Are they playing MF?
That AD carry pool that did already ban out Lucian.
That's right, it's where he'll go.
On the desk earlier on and now for MF.
So, banning out some of these kind of aggressive picks here.
Porchitan, both Volusion and Neklista.
Ooh, Zaya into Brand, or maybe it is an Ezreal game.
Falking, feeling, feeling, thinking, thoughts, hands bummer.
Could play Varus, could play Varus.
He said I will pop off, that's what Hans-Hammann just said.
What is it?
So, what are you popping off on?
Trim, okay, I like it, standard.
No problem.
Yasuo, Yone, Duo Brothers, Laws!
Oh my god!
Surely they pay out of star here into that, right?
What is G2 doing? They're playing Yasuo, Yone, Double Flex in the solo lane. They're absolutely ill.
Malthilus? I like Malthilus. Yeah, pick Malthilus. No don't do what I can.
Chat, I'm gonna write ads. If you want to avoid ads, you can use the Q1 or a quick prime.
Which prime, you don't have sub if you don't want to, you can sub to avoid ads for the rest of the world, we'll be back for the game charge, chill the kiss.
Alright then.
Yasuo, Yone, who's going where? Is it Yasuo top?
I mean, broken blades, Yasuo is pretty good.
I told you that G2 will play this AD mid, AP jungle style.
jungle style
baby
g2 trolled their grass millions
they're fine
I don't like Yasuo in Desire though
that doesn't sound too fun
but
it's a minimal backwards
that they showcased over so many years even back when Perks was playing AD for the team and they're bringing mages bot
They're doing all kinds of crazy stuff. That's g2 at their best
And this is gonna be a really exciting start here
Hans-Mama
worry for the early levels here
Go g2, Hans-Sama
I wonder how he's gonna take his good action and trade because you also can just start E and some of these matchups
and just gonna run up and start mailing you
I don't know exactly how this match is going to go
Yo Rye stop watching Pedro stream. Why are you buffing?
has a really good why you buffing yone did that say what's that a picture of
sat in to kind of survive with resolve with second win and you're kind of
looking to get some levels in before you can really start winning these trades
then you're trying to chunk out there all right I'm able to put her load up
health they can threaten something like that all in if you can't do that and
you just kind of try to sit back that was a sunny picture very very
impressive you're right still watching Pedro team and buffing yone
nightmare well wise of a speed they just got more and more interesting as we
We get into our last game of the opening day of Swiss here at Worldwide Top.
Is G2 going to lane swap?
Or are we going to have one game of no lane swaps?
As Zealot just said, this is the bread and butter of the team.
Let's go E2.
Let's go E2.
The adaptation to what they see in the meta, they're like,
okay, we're going to try and pull this out.
And see if it sticks.
It's always what makes this team unreliable in such a good sense for the enemy team.
Come on G2, don't fuck this up.
Not unreliable, unpredictable, I would say, for sure.
I mean, because G2, especially if they come out and if they look really done...
Where's the G2 jersey? It's right here.
I don't know if you chose to play in this game.
Whether or not G2 is planning on bringing it out again, you have to worry about it.
And that is the trick against these kind of teams that can bring out flex picks
and bring out these really interesting skill matchups.
It's all of a sudden that's in the back of your head like,
ooh, should we pick this?
What if they play us on top?
Does that actually ruin our draft?
You know, it's always going to be kind of weighing on you.
So it's just cook him in this thing cookings. They've gone with the cool draft
You've cooked it up if you can really make it work and crush pain just calm and collected calm and collected
Well, I'm the other side for carry. I can remember he's got the mouth high again
He's got a facilitating jungle again
And for PNG they get surprised coming through play and they're way to beat our seven lost the minions
I think carries it came through. I think one minus one on Jackson's had a really good setup at the start of world
Nice hands, man. Nice hands, man.
They are so good on the map, they really know how to spread you out and take advantages in the map.
Ready what?
I think Paine is really going to struggle against that, so even if Paine gets it themselves up well,
it doesn't necessarily mean that that's going to result in a victory here because G2 really can run the map.
No exact...
Nice wind roll, trying to deny the cannon, I see you BD.
Very clever, very clutched, so I think Paine is pretty reliant on creating advantages here.
Guys, these lanes, they do have some good scaling, and we'll see how many stacks...
That's my collection.
Nice stun, Mickey.
Nice. Nice auto. Bang. Beautiful.
Beautiful, handsome. Beautiful.
was engaged on before but they just pulled back and get some damage down as
Korean titan just walk it back themselves
caphorsons to jinkietta but some orders come through it's an even
try yeah and you can see how much faster yike cleared
karaoke is just now finally killing his bromp whereas the first the first
guzzle is already dead from yike so he's more than a full camp ahead because
he walked all the way there karaoke is gonna cross map though these lanes
don't look good top is losing mid is pushed in
It's getting a decent amount of sacks
We need some fucking fighting
So that is quite nice
Yes, there is a big focus on just perfect CS and being able to farm stacks off that
But if you can scrap, it accelerates your stacking so incredibly fast on this champion
So when you are playing into melee matchups, it can really accelerate you to the point where
You're hitting these breakpoints faster and then all of a sudden
Take the base, take the base
He doesn't have to go through some base, does he?
At the AOE it's easier to get all the range minions
Then you're hitting 125 and all of a sudden you're getting more and more splash through
more stacks i can really kind of ramp up and accelerate complicating things as well carragas
hasn't made his back yet as he still continues to try and set through we like that i'm sitting on
the same march oh yeah bb oh yeah just walks up into top and runs into wise up he was none the
wisest he was doing well really you just have to survive generally it usually
does get better for you as the male is the round to draw after this game it is
round to draw is after this game you know obviously your Q cooldown goes down a
lot you can start a base in Baltimore slipping it takes trades more
effectively and broken blade is playing grass if you haven't seen that
fleet got nerfed for range but a lot of people really started trying grass
but it kind of just became very very popular across the water champions you
know we saw my unit us eq3 miss w miss snapback playing blade on
rain champions the classic cage will come though there people are just
Honestly really liking grass kind of across the board and you can see that over on the pain side as it is grass moulder and
Grasp Aurora as well. It's like when label temp I started getting explored with an everyone's like well
I can run this on this champion as well. It's like it might have to soon for copyright
I feel like after Molly's just paid for a while as a subset of a run anyway
Plus I swear just the bruins like that. Just give you dope. I corrupt
He's gonna have you're just getting help every time you don't die on the weak side. Please don't die on the weak side
Don't mean prog isn't it begging it feels so good to progress and the sound is kind of satisfying as well
He is and it's like killed myself way too many times
Nice get those grubbies get some gold on the brand
You already just talked about the power of Yike, this just comes into fruition
He's ready to open
Lovely
...and though he's here to try and run around, Mickey just forces him out
Yep, gonna be able to push him back, Yike
Just power farming thus far
And then a great spot already, three grubs
Outpacing what the Malkai is able to do
And again, I'm just gonna be going for this trade on the bot side
Which has become the standard, but G2, walk through mid, get the push there
And now it looked like they just pulled the trap
Caps, caps, caps, caps, caps
...walking blind, he just gets ulted from another world
Oh, nice damage!
That's okay, worth it.
Oh, I lose the wave. BBS will get the next kill. Love it.
Hey, Hansama, Hansama, Hansama, are we good?
He's got some fresh 90. He's got no damage.
Japhane gave up the attempt at the dragon right because they pulled up that dragon so there's no objective trade
It's just the one-for-one in kills and G2 end up getting the grubs before that
So they are feeling very good. I think about that overall
And you know, it's got a lot more to clear as well
Look at the camps on the other side still respawning for Karioka. Yeah, keep power-finding boy
The levels Karioka only just ticked up to six
Yaka we halfway through as he clears this top side and his PNG continue keeping their bot in the top to keep that
two boots has vamp scepter so he's not really going to be getting poked out for
genkato again it's just about how we happy just sitting here farming doing a
pretty good job of it up to about 60 but you know it's something insane at this
point and we'll see if you can continue to accelerate that it's okay it's okay
for now it's okay for now also notice we get around the stragg and mickey is
almost level six says you know this is a nice quote I like to say all the way
because if we don't go all the way this year I don't know what year we will
go all the way I feel like it's the best chance to actually win it
absolutely and I mean they're putting that pressure on themselves you know this
is not something they're saying okay I mean your words are mine I also saw
something very similar from broken blade where they're basically saying you know
we've been together for a cloud dragon basically if not now what he's not
infernal soul got to do it now we have those international performances and
we'll see if they can find it now
Oh, yeah, click on a bit.
Hysterics is farming the most.
you engage how you will to pull this off on the g2 side of course mickey x can be
setting them up the cats can also potentially set up broken blade he can
also set himself up the countering game so it is pretty difficult to deal with
because if you're sending in both the also and the young and golden adn top
all of a sudden we're calling can be there with the countering gauge you're
gonna be getting hit by aurora there can be the roots from malchai there's
lots of lockdown and your main target you know she's on is very difficult to
actually get because of the xia ult so you're gonna have to be looking more
towards Shinkedo who does have the safety of course of the flight.
Drops are spawning in eight seconds guys. Can we swap? Can we move? What do we do to do?
Think about it.
How do you lose the pain gaming?
Not losing the pain gaming.
How do you not take out the pains? Idiot.
Can't believe.
Changes the whole course of a team fight. Absolutely, but when more also gonna be really strong here
You can't just throw out the mouth guy off because when more could actually block that, you know
That's gonna be really strong also. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah
Yeah, my goose that's it's gonna be died
No, my goose that's trying to come in still tempest needs a hit. Yeah
Cook him. Yes, face rush. No, I'm just up and available. So GJ have more to work with
Yeah, nice Michael X nice
Nice
Much to the fight so
and that is gonna destroy you as a tank so even though wiser comes over
they try to get this opportunity to peel
just really there's no recourse and Zell the recourse doesn't come through
also because the ult at level one is only 1.25 seconds right
so quick and there's not much you can do to build around it as g2
obviously finding the play there and pain getting pushed behind
you brought it up earlier in the game how you like was to the setup
Just make fun of him a bit.
Yep.
Exactly my thought.
Just flash away.
Now it becomes a 1v2, but Jyke is 30 CS up.
Jyke is 1.5k up.
And I know in Champskew, this guy has been cooking on more than just Brand.
Jyke has been having a good setup to run into this world as it is.
I mean, Brand is just such a nightmare when it gets this far ahead.
You know, you get a quick two items.
You get a lot of them.
I'm scared about that Xayah.
All of a sudden, it's like...
G2's champs die very quickly.
We dealt with the only but...
If Xayah gets good items, she will melt every single one of them.
If they fuck up the engage.
Every single one just gets annihilated.
What for now, we're fine?
Get him hands.
They gotta get that Zyra down.
It's just if they dive into her and fail it, she can hit them.
Otherwise, she can't really hit them.
Caps got the Krugs. Also got some damage on Malki. Nice. Now with that button he gets bot lane. Perfect.
Actually good map pressure from G2. Great map pressure.
Nice. Nice. Six grubs is so busted.
Broke him in his blade. Face for blade. Get double blade.
It has been nice back and forth trading, the PSG1 hits a mind, but the map state and the way that G2 have played it here is obviously so far superior.
Double blade on Yone, yes well, that's where we spike.
It has been a bit back and forth and kills, it ain't the same way with the way that they're playing the map state.
Exactly, I mean G2 are just really showing their class on their macro and how they play the map.
Yeah, macro maniacs.
They are fighting pretty well, but it doesn't matter if you're just getting destroyed on the map movement, you know you're losing the grubs,
You're losing these towers left right and center. They're now 4000 gold behind here
They're only up the one kill, but they are very far down 11 turret plates
Yeah went the way up G2 and so now that advantage is getting bigger double blade the Rune King is completed for broken blade and caps
They're twinning on the items
Same ones completed there and
Hans has done one. We get there in time. We don't have caps to be
Okay, channel
Mickey Mickey Mickey Mickey Mickey Mickey Mickey Mickey Mickey Mickey Mickey
Crocodblade nice setup. Oh beautiful beautiful take the free kill take the free kill
Fire counter stress
I feel like Hans Summers been really solid this game
You know I feel like every lane he's been in that lanes had push
Maybe it's because he's Jean Versailles, but he hasn't really made mistakes in getting those pushes.
Chat, don't overreact with one day of Souls. This is Cloud Souls coming tomorrow. It's just a day off today.
I had to fly an ace playing home. The wind is coming, trust me.
I like the point, it's the biggest question, is the game still going to be going?
I don't want to commit to this.
TP play.
You mentioned as hell that the commitment is there.
I'm a little bit worried, at least the old comsorant, Jyke, is going to have a fat
member, and he's going to be down.
A pirate class, I'm throwing out on these deathbeds.
They have Caps, TP, if you want to fly someone.
They're running afar.
This is going to be no loss.
They're going to TP, just push.
They have six scrubs.
It's not good if you have six scrubs.
You get sucked into the energy.
It's better if you just push.
This is the problem, again.
You're over committing.
You're sending five members down.
They got all three and they got the bottom tower? Great!
Is this the first ocean soul ever to let us have one?
No, not any.
You're spending a flashing night on Curry. You're losing your mid lane tier one.
You're losing minions top. You're losing your Krugs now as well as Caps is going to farm those away.
Yep, Krugs are up.
Sure, you got a kill, but you fell more behind in gold off the play at the end of the day.
Gigi's early game here is a really nice setup.
Coming in, we criticised and of course anyone who watched LEC or you would say that it was probably their weak point.
Here against PNG has been a nice matchup.
You can smack all of its goods.
To the setup of their tournament.
Yeah, I mean, they're definitely looking really good.
I mean, G2, let's be honest, come into this big favorites.
This is the LEC number one seed.
Favorites to win it all.
There you go.
I win it all against Pain Gaming, yes.
Okay, thank you as well.
Just give G2 a good draw.
Who can they face?
Give him FlyQuest.
Fuck it, God.
Give him FlyQuest in the next round.
We want to win the whole thing.
We want to win the whole thing.
Come on.
You know they haven't even been able to make to the Swiss agent quite a long time
They did do it this time. It's a good deal chat and a fan is a good deal
G2's black West one of us get two wins a deal they did face each other round two deal
And say so they need to really set it up here and they have got there. No deal. We don't need you
We're gonna take on energy or something and win one of frauds
But they've got to make sure they're answering the map movements here from G2 or you can keep winning every fight
But you're gonna lose the game
It's slowly but surely run no deal
Goldlead will keep track of top of your screen. You can all see it at home
But at least pain have been able to get the dragons
That's one thing in the backcourt two minutes ten till the third that can start having one this game yet
There we have fans in the audience. I can feed it. I mean G2 fans over a
massive crowd
The pain off the side still
The fans allowed and proud and you can see one out and proud it this far
I mean, it's been so it's been such a long ride for there and again. It was so well
It was a messy game, but against LLA. I'm not thinking shit
Just fine. Yeah, no, absolutely. I mean, they know they're doing
I don't know they matter both and have rightfully earned an exact
Here and we'll see how much further they can go if they can try to claw this one back in G2
You saw that gold difference and it's just been kind of up into the right. Oh, yeah
That's just a couple why are they doing this?
between two worlds and set up as wiser has done a good ol' de-
OH YEAH! OH YEAH!
a last breath to send the world all the way down the universe
and a curtain call, call it a night
and G2, our whole life's willing to take the fight
paying for all of the engaged there
it's a good initial look, but again the windwall just gets insane value
and it's what they're doing
and at the end of the day they can't even finish our broken blade
he's able to flash out and look to him
Oh, yeah? The KTL combo?
We've almost got that top tier to the isolation.
You're against pain gaming? It doesn't matter who we're against.
We don't look at name plates. It could be JNG, it could be pain, I don't know at least.
What's you guys smurfing?
We're not playing with name plates on.
Showcase in that they can do just that. I know I'm
Ocean Drake, they have the chance to do the funniest thing ever
Ocean soul first time for the ocean soul believers, and they do no dragon things go national
That's fucked up
Okay, one Drake one Drake people give you one
As long as G2 doesn't get Gengi
HLE, Top East Sports, BLG, or NNG, they're fine.
They're fine.
And DK.
competition because that's just like what if you're one in zero you only play
another one in zero team and those are all these and there's no rematches
remember and less mathematically impossible you have to have the rematch
but we're assuming that that choice won't come up that chance won't come
up and no rematches is also very big depending on how pain goes depending
on teams like how GAN goes as well if things go rough ends up being a
one-one then you won't face 11% chance if they get fly close yeah
Well, I had a 96% chance to make playoffs and I didn't.
Stats are useless, it either happens or it doesn't.
It's 50-50, there's no such thing as a stat.
You're getting the Ocean Dragon.
So Payne needs some kind of wombo,
some kind of dream in this game,
some kind of smolder stacking miracle
as he gets the execution.
That they can fall back and find some gold
back in this final game of the day.
Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be tough
because even if he gets the stacks right now,
then you really are still waiting for rapid fire.
There's so much threat over on the G2 side
that it's like, okay,
on the stats website
maybe
maybe
what's i going to do with him
shut up
g2 let's do the thing where we don't throw
baron thoughts and feelings
we got good bot pressure though
good start, guys eat those berries
they feel that they're behind so they say okay we're behind we need to group and get a man in this
and G2 saying great we're not gonna fight you and they're just gonna take things in the sidelines
nice how many go mosquitos build you and stephick into your pain feels we can't win an even man fight
but we can't actually be able to get a fight you know so it's like really really difficult
because they just sent five members to one side G2 takes more of an advantage in the
sideline they get nothing from it and it's just kind of rinse and repeat this entire game
Chat, you're all cute. Here's a big kiss.
Thanks for being in the stream. I appreciate you.
We got lots of worlds to come.
Lots of them.
Sticky.
Yeah, don't hate you.
Thanks.
They just gonna get a lot of love exactly me
Right if you clear all the vision my son are respecting the Baron you start hitting the Baron
You don't have to commit to it if they know I'll try break her that's I ain't moving if you then get found out
You can just leave it leash until they were three seconds. So I'm both of them
Are they over commit you can have to look for a turn or you can just take that win of getting this help
Oh, you're a little thing as little wiser. He does not like that one be one
That's an alt-traded and he was getting a bit of a chubby trap. I can't tell
No flash on the Maokai
Terra no flash
Oh Michael X that's disgusting
That's disgusting
Oh, T-10 forgot to press R.
Wait!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Guys, what are we gonna do?
What's my collect doing?
Captain Constable, then?
You know what's gonna help you out? You have the damage?
I mean, you have a lot of damage.
But I don't know if you can hit it though.
my guy what happens if a war walks up for long for this world
you can't do your words you don't have a book but you cook his ass
BOOM
the rest of traps
Mickey it wouldn't be a G2 game without a Mickey moment
what's the step? Mickey in tweets once per game?
Confirm it's the first time you also has ever been played together internationally in League of Legends. So
Definitely cooking here on the G2 side not that we needed that set to confirm it
But it is cool to see they're the first team ever actually bring it out internationally
I meant for the culpants work seamlessly
We don't run it from base and do it again the int train needs to put the brakes on
Sakes man
As you can kind of just become this potion if you just kind of straight back and forth with wrap fire procs
And then you use that obviously on your cube you're putting it on that true damage burn
Okay
Sorry buddy
and Hans is super strong on three, Cap's is super strong on three so G2 obviously still massively in the middle of the year.
Mickey chose to run and pick him down, well that explains why he fucking trolled the game on red buff, doesn't it?
Alright, Mickey, you're winning the pick-ups, good job, now win the game.
Just let Cap's cook on the side lane, seriously, actually just don't need to be easily buried.
Just cook on the side lane.
Guys, we don't even have to do this. We can pull off the baron.
Hello hello hello hello
Micky, where did they go in? We are at a wall
We stand behind the wall Micky
Genos, I got Genos
My ulti is gone
I'm not sure why Capsius is trying to get me
Make sure he's playing for Slickham's man.
Oh! No flash to Alton! 1, 2...
Now we go Baron, easy slap.
That's an easy Baron.
Mumble number 5.
Is Caps just playing for high SCS per minute?
Oh, my man.
Okay, what do you think about a TP?
You want a Yasuo TP 2v4, Teal?
Hey, Caps is getting ulted, mulch.
Two minutes on Drake, what if we didn't waste the Drake in the end of the game?
Yeah, they're looking really strong. Caps is so dominant in the side lanes.
Caps is not making any mistakes on side lane. He is literally just pushing sides, respecting, not over-committing, and it's this consistent side lane pressure.
I talked about it in the tier list. One of G2's biggest strengths is Caps's side lane.
He says here was massive for G2 against Fnatic. His Yone is also massive on the side lane.
Not allowing pain to really find anything here.
They have no answer for either of the windbrows.
He's been shining a lot. It's on these side lanes.
It's so tough, man. You're just gonna pull apart.
That's really nice to say. You know, it's just joining you.
What's your favorite windbrow?
Like, the smolder is over 10 CS per minute.
He's still down 70 CS.
Oh, much easier and I think much more overpowered.
Yeah.
You reckon it's easier?
I think it's way easier than Yasuo.
Yeah, it's easier than Inton Yasuo, isn't it?
But you can still eat very easily, you know that?
You can, but...
I know how to eat on your name, just ask me.
Ah, yeah.
The problem is that also, I can't go back.
Yeah, that's right. Where's the big one?
I can go in, but I can't...
True!
I usually am dead after that, actually.
Deadman's played. I mean, it's fast with push sidelines, I guess.
At the end of the Swiss, I hope we see some more in the very least.
We've talked up to him, and he...
They don't really have good tower-hitting champs.
They have to use the cannon.
But Cap's just playing the mid-bush, just don't get engaged on top.
Wring wallet, Wring wallet, whip up and win wallet.
Ah, shit, that's not the best.
Or misty had to go in there.
The 2v4, the 2v4, there comes caps.
Ah, the old dangle is pretty banana combo.
I feel like G2 is...
His fights don't look great.
But I mean, Yone was late in business, so he was alive.
clear is available to them but you said it super coming in bot the Baron up wave in mid in top
they just can't be everywhere at once they can't clear this out fast enough and even the wind wall
protecting the Baron up can be pretty annoying but you always go to the banana combo if I
if I was to someone who flushed away you still say I missed that's what we're trying to hold
near there we're trying to get as much as possible into these carries but look at caps
he went dead man so yeah so he's really cooking wants the additional move speed there on it
And
Alright big spikes coming in BT I guess she's also beating build building BT
I don't think it's enough though. I think it's game was going super super late
You have too much side impression to ever fall behind, you'll always have numbers like for every one type of game.
They're playing it a bit too slow for my liking though.
There's a world where pain wipes them and gets the national games over.
different compositions because they can't progress the game now G2 they can't they can't take middle top
tier 3 I think unless they die
I mean I think that's some of the most fun parts of world is you can have two teams that are
very good teams but play some of those ramping up yes three hundred and fifty stacks
like this brand it's one shot in a malki hold to get to see the smaller rapid fire cannon
holds have this clash of styles right now which styles underestimate how strong pain games game
like this gold is obviously a big deal but
pain is getting really strong
they can't progress the game until baron
yeah swiss draws after this chat
i mean it could get bot too if we get a bot in the beginning
one of the highlights of the day it makes it really exciting smaller got
between his four items like if you actually think about it he's down 2.1
k gold but Yone has four items as well as him and especially if you trap
might be selling a bit of gold in his items are probably a little more
expensive but the smaller is 360 tax what
The fun...
Wait, it worked.
What, it worked?
OHHHHHHHHH!
What?!
What?!
That was a shot! That's game over.
That was an insane shot. Oh, this guy's trolling through perfect games over.
What a shot by Hans Summer!
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Nice.
It gets wiser, caps with the beautiful knockup, the fate indeed still moves away, as arms in style,
you'll have to hit the TTP to end here as caps or brahla, broken blade, and wars toward the nexus turrets.
Yeah, G2 have been splitting the map all year, there's no format for the painplay, it's a clean entry,
so we use first, you'll have to use first, you'll have to use first, you'll have to use first, you'll have to use first,
What was that?
Nice win by the boys.
All right, chat time for the draw.
Time for the draw.
Come on, give G2Flight what's going to it.
I dare you.
They're both getting a win on the board here
to close things out.
Both of them in seats will advance.
They could be really happy about that.
They can breathe a sigh of relief here.
First step on the road here is done for G2.
And they can look forward now to the draw
to finding out who their next opponent is.
And again, there are so many-
please give us fly quest please
and for phonetic and mad please don't draw t1 or wabo
what is it? t1, wabo, phonetic, gam, psc, mad, pain
and
tl
Then there's G2, Tess, DT, GenG, BLG, LNG, HLE.
So G2... wait, have I fucked this up?
And FlyQuest here.
G2 needs FlyQuest.
Vananek needs GAM, Pain or PSG and MadVitch GAM, Pain or PSG as well.
We need TL to get T1 or Wable.
TL, listen, love you guys lots, we're gonna have to sacrifice you just this time.
Just one time, we'll sacrifice you one time. Only one time.
Only one time, we'll sacrifice you. Listen, any time, I get it.
I get it, you're upset, you're upset. It's a Wii tournament, okay?
It's not a day tournament. We're a region together at this point.
Listen, just tank the bullet for Wable T1, we'll owe you later, I promise.
We'll owe you later, we'll get to you later, we'll get to you later, trust me, I promise we won't let you down, deal?
Take away both of you and we'll do it.
I swear, when you're 0-2 we will do everything in our power to watch you lose the third game, BUT!
We will win the tournament for you.
Alright, do the draw.
I'll be right in to you first
Welcome back to the stage for the last interview of this Swiss Day 1 Top Father.
Thank you so much for joining me.
Great games, table, everything. How do you reflect on what happened?
What grade would you give yourself if you had from 0 to 10 from the game you played?
I would say 10.
Nice victory, nice...
But there's a 10 with improvement still in sight.
Always in preference.
But I had a lot of fun playing this game, playing the brothers, you know, Yasuo Yone.
I know.
It was very fun, main caps, especially later stages.
I also think Jyke played amazing today, so...
Yeah, great job from everyone honestly.
Did you know who was going to play Yone and who was going to play Yasuo?
Did you just flip it?
I mean, you never know when G2 who plays what.
But in this case, I was like, oh, probably I'll play a little bit of Yasuo today.
So it was nice, it was fun, it was very fun actually.
I didn't expect myself to play Yasuo for the first game.
for the first game.
Alright.
Any other things that you have planned in terms of pick and his specific, I know in-houses
have been fun, but I know that in-houses, more fun than not, they don't look like
creams.
In-houses.
But anything weird that you've prepped for us, does the meta allow it?
I know you can't say champion's names, but...
There's always something I prepare to win.
Also to be creative, I think that is the beauty of my career, my playstyle.
I really like to pull off something that is unusual, and also make it work.
So yeah, maybe, but I can't promise anything, of course, and also can't leak, right?
Let's not disclose anything. We'll keep this for later.
Camille Witt, I'm telling you.
I want to follow up on the, honestly, amazing interview you had with Dom and the rest of the crew,
letting a lot of stuff that we didn't know about G2 actually, about the summer that you guys had,
about the fact that you were not on the same page, that some players were feeling a bit low.
When you think about this, and what happened at Worlds last year,
and the fact that you don't want to have this run ever again, you want to have the best,
you want to make the best out of the situation you have,
what have you guys been working on to be on the same page,
to peak at the same moment and to come ready for Worlds this year?
I thought the biggest thing was matching against the Eastern teams when it comes to mid-game.
I feel like when you look at worlds a lot of the times a lot of teams get advantage in early game against the eastern teams
But then they they like lose outs in the mid game
You know the team fights are less clutch and the macro is less good and I feel like this year
We've really been improving that so I'm really excited to playing them again
I think in MSI we showed the difference between N and E as we want team one and you guys want a cupcake run never compare
us to you soy cucks
about G2, of course, Worlds being back in Europe, you think about the 2019 lineup.
You weren't a part of it, but you have two players who were part of this lineup.
This is what happens when you poke the bear enough.
Everyone keeps on thinking about what happened to the Nishers.
The fact that there's hope for Worlds, there's hope for Europe, and there's hope for the Nishers.
I want to play against Sinead!
What is the weight of this legacy?
Demo Fiend is the soy.
How heavy is the legacy of this G2 2019 lineup when you come into Worlds this year?
I want to eat you.
G2 2019, I wasn't part of that story.
And G2 2024 is a story that I want to create where we win Worlds.
So yeah, that is basically how I think, how I believe, what I want to make happen.
And I think everyone in the team is aligned on this.
This is our goal, and this is what we want to achieve.
Make them believe.
That's what Worlds say.
Vivi, thank you so much for this interview.
Amazing, as always.
Last question for you.
We're going to have the draw show in just a few minutes.
Who would you like to face tomorrow?
He's gonna say I don't care.
We have BWB Gaming, Tabi Sports, Gen G, Diplaskia, LNG, Hanoi, Flakwests.
I would like to draw Flakwests.
Yeah!
Yeah, why not? He's just... I mean, all the teams are way stronger.
That's some rivalry. Thank you so much, Bibi.
Good luck tomorrow. Good luck for the draw.
Give me the draw. Give me the draw.
That's all that's here on this side of the stage.
We'll be right back for the draw in just a few minutes.
Give me the draw. Now!
Is there? Me?
the break no I think just keep up chat don't forget quick thing you can go to
cajolworldsgiveaway.com and you can check out all the prizes you can win
from Gen.G, Dumwon, T1, Fanatic, Sign Jerseys, the 3000 year gaming PCs, the
monitors, the headsets, the buds, the earbuds, the chairs, the riot stuff, the
cameras, everything really easy to enter check it out, Exhibition Mark giveaway
win that points off of just the best of ones so I like the values pretty good I
wouldn't mind playing five quests also the EUMA thing is always a stuff that I need
it but I don't know it's a it's a very high variance draw so it's it's very
different based on who you get it's crazy how happy are you today with the
performance of the brothers I like the double brothers Yasuo Yon double
samurai comp very G2S we played it like a bunch of times throughout the
years actually but usually it's the other version usually it was actually
Taps on Yasuo and BB on Yone.
So this was our first time with Taps and BB version of G2
where we did this one.
And you know, we already asked you all fair,
but who's, what do you prefer?
For this meta right now, I think both of them
are probably more practiced and better
at these particular champions.
I'll say that.
How'd you like it?
So you mean the way it was today?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a thumbs up, that's a thumbs up.
How'd you like the team's macro?
Because this is like, as Al mentioned it,
it's like the truest kind of form of a split push win.
guys are just knocking on their nexus throughout the game.
Yeah, so anyone who's watched this a lot in Europe probably has known
we play a lot with Caps on sideline this year. He played a lot of
split push tramps. He's always pressuring to end the game, pressuring on inhibitors.
We've grown quite accustomed to playing that way, so a fed yone is like one of the best
to be able to do that. So yeah, it really fits our playstyle.
Worked out really well this game. Hopefully we can replicate it in future games.
game. Talking about replicating you know there's always that question when you
play a comp like this and when you approach it in a certain way and you
say it I'm sure that everyone who you're gonna play knows that he likes to play
this way. Is there a pitfall of you going into a game and knowing this is
exactly how I want to play and then maybe in the mid game it falls apart in the
Europe versus a team who is maybe even better at macro or perhaps a team
fighting. So like I think sometimes the side like comps are a bit weaker in
team fight if you have a fed Malkai playing front to back in a pure
5v5 the brothers probably not as strong as when he's threatening to end the game
So I think that's one potential weakness also
You need to be very crisp on your movement right as soon as if caps gets caught and dies on side
And they just TP to Nash and take it that can be another way you can lose so it definitely you need to be used to playing this way
But we like it seems to work for us. Yeah, yeah
These are very fun comes to watch as well probably very fun comes to play as well
And I'm wondering not so much from a gameplay perspective, but more from a mentality perspective
How the boys doing coming into this world because usually G2 they face quite well when they're having fun
So what's the environment like having it in the studio and just everything being day-to-day for you guys?
So it being here in Europe. I think helps a bit
When you have to travel all the way across the world and being a different environment that always just makes things a bit
I mean T1 didn't like it too much. They're really good coming here in the studio and being prepared
Scrims have been good mostly good like a bit of a mixed bag, but we're learning a lot
I've been with him since I was a kid, he's got a lot of different big meta shake ups, so there's just a lot of different stuff going on.
Do you think that helps you guys more because the spin times where you guys have been winning a lot, and I've seen quotes in inter-US like,
well it felt like sometimes they learned more from us than we learned from them, do you feel like they...
Static shift damage versus T1 was 3.8k from a 16.5k total, shift was 20% of his damage.
That would probably make me feel the best, but yeah, absolutely.
There is that feeling of, oh, this is what's been working for us, this is what has not,
so we can kind of try and have these strategies.
Have you ever felt like there was, I wouldn't say a problem, but like a motivation thing
because like during the regular season, you guys are winning a lot and it feels like
you guys are guaranteed for international play.
You know, early games can feel a little sloppy or some of the gameplay can feel
a little sloppy.
But then show me the troll, show me the troll.
I can give you an example with the MSI, where you guys looked incredible.
Do you feel as though when the pressure is on that you guys really come online and feel like you guys come together?
Or is that, you know, what do you think?
I don't know how long does it take for them to stop the troll?
When you're at Worlds, you're at MSI, you're playing the top teams in the world.
Even when you're preparing for like a big stadium, like for the EU-LEC finals,
we just get that energy and try that much harder, a bit more practice, a bit more everything for sure.
And of course, one of the big questions is you have last year's worlds, which I know was kind of like, I feel like probably the most disappointing thing that could ever happen in this 600 plus day run with this particular iteration of the team.
But I feel like sometimes we hear this from teams, right? They say it wasn't our day, you know, and I feel like that's something, is that something you can completely eradicate you feel like or how do you feel you've made progress in that regard knowing that no, we are actually at a point where we feel,
a point where we feel pretty unshakable that if we are the team that does go into a best
of as the favorites that we should be able to close it out.
Yeah well I think already this year we won every split in Europe instead of dropping
one.
We were a lot more consistent when it really mattered in Europe as well but it's competition
right.
There's always that element of we go into worlds last year, beat LCK, beat LPL back to
back and then our condition became very poor and we lost but it works the other
way as well right.
We control up to a day and play really really well and take games or series off the
best teams.
It's fun. That's like the whole reason we're here in the first place. It's the way to cookie crumbles. You're right
No, it's true. It's so exciting. So great last year at the end
And no super excited any predictions for the draw show, I think we're super close like 30 seconds any
I mean
E versus any matchup
Like the 01 matchups is possible TL fanatic it's already
I think a lot of people will look at who T1 draws, I think that will be the one.
That one and zero pool is so complete.
It's getting ready, so we're going to be giving it over to the World's 2024 Swiss Stage 2 Draw Show.
Let's go.
Hello and welcome everyone to the World's 2024 Swiss Stage Draw Show.
G2, get your play question.
against tournament official Malu. Thank you so much for joining me on the stage and for tonight's row our 16 teams are provided based on today's results the first set of team consists on those that went 1 and 0 today and the second set of teams are those that went 0 and 1.
Now for the round 2 of the 3 stages there are no restrictions on matchups which means that 3 teams from the same region can face off.
Wait, we can get a same region matchup.
Our 1 and 0 team consists of Billy Billy Gaming, Top Esports, Gen.G, D plus Kia, NG, Honwa Life Esports, FlyQuest, and the G2 Esports.
Maybe DK. One of these three is a horror. BLG, Gen.G, Honwa Life for G2 is f**k.
Malou, if you would please draw the first team.
Like, FlyQuest would be a blessing, but anything else? Just don't be Honwa Life.
Don't be GenG. Don't be BLG. Who is it? G2. Oh my god, we're first.
G2 is sports. And they will be facing against...
Please don't draw BLG. Have a life for GenG. Anything else is probably fly. Fine.
Don't you fucking dare. Ta-da!
Come on, be FlyQuest. Be FlyQuest.
Esports. All right, now to the second matchup.
Milu, please, if you withdraw the second team up.
FlyQuest! Give us FlyQuest! We'll do the job. Two O.D.K. first two days.
And they will be facing.
Don't be BLG or Gen.G please be fly quest.
Come on!
Fly quest, come on!
Don't be Gen.G, don't be Gen.G or BLG please.
Pretty good!
That's pretty good!
That's a very good matchup.
Malou.
Come on Gen.G, BLG round two.
Actually no, my pickums, don't do that.
Who's that, is that Gen.G?
Give them, give them NNG, give them NNG.
Give them NNG, for my pickums.
For the pickums.
NNG.
Let's throw Genji's opponents.
Don't be BLG, please.
The pick-and-strap.
Top is fourth.
Not bad, not bad.
Wait, does that mean BLG, LNG?
Wait, LPL, LPL in round two?
Alright, now for the fourth matchup.
Mmmmm...
She drew LNG.
I'm just getting out my bad karma.
Billy Billy gaming.
Okay, Diamond Flyquest is kinda sick.
And they will be facing...
Oops, I leaked it.
She can't open it.
It's 2-0-P.
There's nothing in the bowl.
What?
There's only one team left.
What? There's nothing in the bowl?
That's got to be a Retro, or?
All right. Now for the O and one team.
Does that count as a Retro or not?
Mad Lionscoy, T1, Webo Gaming,
Fnatic, Team Liquid, Punda.
Wait, I don't get that.
I don't know how percentage this works.
PSGTanen, Gam Esports, and Pain Gaming.
Pain gaming.
Now, Madu, would you please throw the first team?
Does it matter or not, Chad? I don't get it.
If there's something in the ball. Probably not, right?
Some esports.
I don't know, since you guys...
I guess it doesn't, right?
It's like show drinkers ball.
Give us phonetic now!
There's nothing in that ball either!
What?!
What?!
You're lying.
We're gonna take a quick break in the draw here
and send it back to the desk for a bit.
We'll be back soon.
What?
Set. I'm thinking draw is gonna be reset. I don't know Dylan is hoping it's the whole draw
We'd really get a little bit more information, but for sure obviously that the second part
Are they gonna re-kill everything?
Because I don't want to give any misinformation
I'm gonna assume the first ones were correct. We'll just go over it anyway. Yeah, the first one stands unfortunately
Oh, the first one stands!
When I wrote down G2 vs. HLE, you can actually kind of talk about it immediately if you'd like to.
Yeah, obviously one of the harder teams we could have faced. One LCK, very good.
Is that good? Did you own today?
Beast? Very good.
Oh my god, is that good?
Capsuon was also very good.
So, yeah, I think we can take a game off anyone, especially in this setting.
But yeah, it's definitely one of our maps.
That's such a high matchup.
I think they will keep pool one-shots. They will keep the first pool.
But they won't keep the second pool.
They're going to redo the second pool.
For like one ball, I don't mind, but two balls?
Wait, how many balls had nothing in them?
I think pool one is fair. It's fair.
Even if NNG had a thing or not, it doesn't matter because it's the last ball.
It's only if it was the second to last ball, it's a problem. But because it's the last ball, it's fine.
One ball, last ball, doesn't change anything.
But obviously the second ball of the second draw does matter.
Chad, why does... Brokemade writes GG, why do they look like a minion wave? No joke.
You've got like the melees, two casters and a cannon.
Is it just me?
So like, oh my god, they had the lead.
I feel like I just sort of cleared the wave.
Didn't matter anyways because it got thrown back into them.
Is it just me who thinks that?
One thing that BlackQuest is genuinely good at
is being able to maintain the advantage that they have.
Oh my god, my lead brain rocket.
And I think Inspired and Wippo, they showcased it
today that they are able to, at least in the mid game,
have a really strong kind of like, their calls are great.
They played a map really well.
So I'm actually, I think that's the best one
we could have gotten other than like an LNG.
Yeah, I think that's a good read.
I think Showmaker was phenomenal today though.
I mean, even in all the throws,
he really kept everything.
I mean, I don't wanna say he won the game for DK,
but he kept a lot of pressure up specifically
to write that chip.
It's like, historically as well,
he's just always been one of the pioneers
for LeBlanc mid as well.
I think he really...
LeBlanc, okay, Foggin.
LeBlanc, LeBlanc, LeBlanc.
They had some some tricks today the whole cyber and laneswap stuff and if you're gonna play major wait frogans in the chat
Froggan, yeah, I love your balloons tower defense free when they come back at least the fight was put together today
So I think from a prep perspective that's a very interesting matchup. What's your favorite matchup of the four?
The of course your matchup the plus versus the fly gen gts. Yeah, so I have to go prepare for one of those four matchups
So it's probably more the one I'm thinking about.
Yeah, I think my favorite probably actually be dumb on fly.
I would say I think that's that's interesting one.
That's a banger.
Are you Canadian or are you American?
I am Canadian.
Didn't sound sad, Chet.
He's got a girl birdie.
It's because he drew Hummellife.
It's a horror.
In 10 seconds, perfect.
The draw's ready again.
OK, let's try that again.
Redraw or draw rather for our 0-1 teams.
Take it away, Lore.
It's not Malu's fault.
It's not her fault, she's just throwing.
Alright, we're back.
Okay, now.
What do we got?
Okay, the ball has something in it.
Rory off to a good start.
T1!
Okay.
Please throw Team Liquid.
Come on.
draw team liquid please draw team liquid come on for the second matchup the
first team is fuck we only got PSG and damn now
Frenetic or Mad? Frenetic or Mad? Frenetic or Mad?
Please don't draw team liquid, please, please don't draw team liquid. Frenetic or Mad?
Frenetic or Mad? Frenetic or Mad? Frenetic or Mad? Frenetic or Mad?
1-0 baby! Now give us give us GAM 2!

CEST. Remember that League of Fissures will come from the order of the matches tonight.
What you see here is not the final schedule.

If it was auto-amne it was G2 vs BLG, mad vs TL.
And it would have been Fnatic vs Wabo if that was auto-amne.
We can all take it back.
It's not going to last.
This is going out to everyone, right?
So it's not because we are still here
that everyone's still here.
Perhaps another broadcast.
We're not center of the universe, especially not as EU
