Let me try it Wait, brother, let us break this, instead,
brother.
Have a break, have a kick hack What is this, brother?
Perfection.
Red Bull gives you wings.
Hey there.
Every season starts the same way.
Everyone wants to win. But not everyone prepares the same way.
I can't wait to show you what I have in store.
And trust me, this year everyone's leveling up.
Wait, is he switching lanes?
If you had known what you looked for fall in the eyes, could you walk away this time?
We've been fighting for the night
Cause we've all got face to face
And we stray from the night
We've been fighting for the night
Don't run away again
Don't run away again
When you turn around from what's to come
Will you face it all?
Or will you fall away again?
What's calling out to be found
When the time is right
When the time is right
As we all face the fight
And we stray from the light
Go ahead and put the key behind
What's your way? What are you stupid?
You make your stand, I'll run in your hands again
Cause we all face the fight
And we stray from the light
To the page of my hero
Feel the rush, feel the time
Can you feel it with the end
Right now it's a little bit sketchy because of the clothes
and we're all gonna make it, I'm not gonna make it.
But I can tell you, if we make playoffs, we're winning playoffs.
Guaranteed.
Foul touches across!
There it is!
And down goes the darkest unthink season!
Had to touch around, everyone here has never taken the full medic!
Get below this wall!
Hold the full medic!
Trimby dies!
Hustler tones!
Hold on, never since finds the triple!
No, I'm really twisted as an ARL team anymore.
Maybe before when there was a euphoria,
it was like, I'm the first team to lose,
that's a bit embarrassing.
We were struggling a lot.
I was not great.
They were a bad time for me.
V1 is definitely a nerf for us.
We've shown it last year that we thrive when the series goes on longer.
I don't expect them to be like a free win or something
just because they were playing in the area before.
G2 must run to catch them with their pants down.
G2 are lined up, sent up, and here's the play!
It consumes Europe again!
Triple over to Crownee, and the Rats are doing it again!
Let's go!
This is G2 we're talking about that you guys just took down.
They're G2, but we're lost for phones, so...
For shifters and SK, they kind of need to win every single game.
Losers have been pretty depressing.
Shifter are kind of in a similar situation as us.
I think the other games have been unfortunate.
For us, it's been like, do or die for a while now.
And I'm quite confident that we can still win those two games
and possibly get them to play us on paper. We should be better.
M-Ross has already started off the fight.
The opponent side is quite tough, but our core strength is power of friendship.
I think we are one of the top teams coming into class. They can get 0 out of the red, because I think they are a bit crazy.
That week should definitely be a global 2-0, with N'Kwai being a stronger opponent for us.
His cap's good time to go golden as well, but LeBron,
he's about to run out of his ulti, Lifeline comes in clutch,
Humanoid in the 1v2, he's taking them all on!
Oh, that ain't just me, mate.
It's still good, though.
Historically, G2 has never missed the top four in a regular season.
Probably the best team in my eyes in the league still,
even if they had some rough games.
I'm waiting to play with them in the States game.
It's going to be a hype one.
If we'll be able to bounce back from it
and take the good lessons from them,
I think that will be absolutely...
The top four is going to be in Balladona, and me, Win, actually lives there as well.
My family will come and everything, so I will be fine with whatever it takes to get there, but the trophy will be ours.
Welcome back to the last weekend of LEC vs. regular season.
Three teams have qualified into playoffs and five seed remains.
One thing is certain, with two games remaining for each team, the table still feels like anyone's game.
So grab your copium, your copium, grab your tissues, maybe you're going to need everything by the end of the week.
I hope you are ready with Sysnatic, entering the arena for the first game of the day.
I'm Lord, joined by Bavarius and Jack Spectra. How are you doing, boys?
I'm alright. I'm doing great. I mean, it's been a fantastic split thus far, and the ending is looking so exciting.
Yeah, I hope we just get more drama, more tears, more joy, just more of everything because as you can see on the standings things aren't looking close
You've got three teams locked in to our playoffs with only five spots remaining. That fight is very very close
Everything's open. Yeah, anything could happen. That's what I know.
And especially the fact that we're now just two days left and still so little has been decided. Yeah, it's great
Two days, but still 4,000 scenarios remaining for the playoffs
codification.
So you can follow along yourself at lc.gg-slash-foldy-sheets
with each game, the sheets fold in half
based on the results displayed in the remaining scenarios.
I love the fact that teams are still
going to have a chance to show up.
At the exception of KCB, they're
eliminated at the first team that
are going to be playing first on these this weekend.
But the rest of the teams are not.
I want to take a look at some scenarios
and how could teams qualify? Looking at shifters, for the first one, shifters, it's kind of hard
because I feel like a lot of games were in their hands, but they couldn't get it to the
finish line.
Yeah, I mean, they find themselves in a situation now where they need to win, and even some
luck on top of that to make it to playoffs. Like, I think that the pieces themselves
on paper look quite promising, but it just hasn't come together for this roster
so far. This split, while there is still a last chance with them, they need to
clutch it up over these next two days. Yeah absolutely they're gonna have the
chance to do it. We saw a glimpse of hope on their side last week so hopefully
they can break that energy again today. MCoy Vitality starting with MCoy. They
went from being the unbeatable team that we had at the beginning of the
season into whatever happened last week. Absolutely I mean Koi it feels
like that so far this split we haven't seen the same degree of
consistency that we were getting from them towards the end of last year
And if they win this game, they will lock a spot in playoffs getting to that six-win mark is super important for this team
But ultimately, I do feel they've earned that position of being given a degree of forgiveness
All right simply because their performance last year winning spring making it to the finals of summer the caliber of this roster
I'm willing to give them the same benefit of the doubt that we often give G2
Just because I think the caliber of their players make me believe that when playoffs rolls round they're gonna lock it
lock it. Yeah I mean I definitely do agree it's a little bit g2 light but I
do have to say some criticism I mean Jojo he's had fantastic landing faces but if
we can get a step up on screen like he has the most deaths out of any midlaner in
the league. 42 what? 42 deaths that's like such an unbelievable number. Wait he's the first one actually.
Well yeah he has the highest number of deaths putting in he's got first for
number of deaths for the last place relative to the mid laners so he's
sitting at the bottom and I mean the crazy thing is like you look at his
damage for a minute you look at his CSD like he is contributing yeah like his
laning is still great but the cockiness he has so many isolated deaths as well
the number of oopsies we've seen from this man is a little too high and I'm
hoping that yeah weekend where they really need those wins that is locked
that's one of playoffs he locks into that he gives and he takes that's the
the rule in League of Legends, on the other side of the rift, they're gonna face off against Vitality
and Vitality I think can be summed up by one player, Nak Nakko, the god holding the fort in the top lane.
He's been doing a whole lot of heavy lifting for that team this week.
Yeah, I think Nak Nakko for me, best top laner in the league, I know it's a heavy potential between him and Kanna,
but for me, Nak Nakko, he's playing with worse players while performing better and having higher impact.
And I just love his versatility, he's shown greatness both on tanks and on bruisers and even the rumble.
I just feel like he has that clutch factor that so many other top laners are missing as well alongside his great fundamentals.
Yeah, I love the performance that he's putting on stage and he is a player that the trajectory there is going on.
So I hope that we continue to see this growth and I'm really excited for this fight out here also overall.
Yeah, overall the team was more stable when we saw what they did last week and what they achieved together.
But again, it's a current flip.
Yeah, I'm not stateless though, we're not used for that team.
Check duo, I feel, at the end of the day and if they show up or not.
One game that everybody's gonna have their eyes on, like creme de la creme, the deserts of this first day in the LEC LRSK,
the most interesting and important matchup that we're gonna have today.
Yeah, so on your screen right now, we've provided you with a couple of scenarios.
So, in the event that they go 2-0, easy qualification, right?
Winning games, that's valuable.
But in the situation where they go 1-1, it is still possible for them to qualify.
We've given you some examples and you'll notice in the majority of those examples the fanatic winning is quite valuable to
Lost returns if an addict win that first game even if LR lose this game against SK if they can take out
Vitality then their possibilities of qualifying
Dramatically increase of course if they do lose all those games and heretics also beat fanatic out then they will be eliminated
Simple quite simple they they need to win their games, but even if they don't
They're gonna have ways to come back.
So Los Ratones fans, cage roll, everybody watching.
If you want Los Ratones to win, if you want Los Ratones to qualify,
you have one thing to do today, cheer for Fnatic.
Fnatic winning, good, heretics winning, bad.
I don't want to say too loud because you're hearing me here.
What I'm wondering is how much do we believe in Los Ratones making it on their own?
Given the game that they gave us last week against Navi,
because it felt like Navi was the first team exposing them for the first time.
Navi figured them out completely. It started out with the draft. I love what Navi went for here.
They took the rise away from Nemesis and crucially banned out that Anivia that he's been
so great on when he played it up against G2 and then also targeting Velia with the Mundo.
I think Velia on Mundo, off Mundo, it's two different players. So draft-wise, LR, I hope
they've done some good prep because after this it feels like they have a wide open hole.
Yeah, and I feel like that LR have a big focus on dragons.
Scaling and dragons seems to be their game plan,
and Navi just controlled it beautifully.
They didn't want to give them any avenue of attack
of taking advantage of playing through these dragons.
And the amount of zone control that they provided
with the comp that they brought to the table,
the limiting options that LR ended up having
as Jakus Harling from the draft,
it felt like that it was a perfect game plan
to shut them down.
And SK can maybe use this as a formula
to get a win today against them.
That's the thing.
I'm looking at SK and I'm like, before I realized not enough, it's G-Execution that's going to be really important for them here today.
Yeah, I do think like, as a Loser of Tons, if you're a Loser of Tons fan, it's pretty good going up against SK right now,
because they're not exactly the best team at closing out Leeds, and Loser of Tons are the best team at coming back from a deficit.
So, like, that SK game, they had a 7K gold lead up against Gian X, but all it takes in this season in general is like one bad mistake,
you get huge shutdowns and you can swing that gold back.
So I think scaling, name of the game for those returns.
And I think that when you've got Wunder versus Douse on the top side of the map,
that's going to be a lane that is very much favored towards Wunder's favor.
Like, there's a bit of history there, but I just think that as a player,
he's come in massively for this SK squad.
He's become super consistent. His performance is very reliable
and he's continuing to show some of that versatility from the good old 2019 days of G2.
G2 he's still got plenty of picks at his disposal and he's executing upon them well old man still has hands
I was really surprised
He's been a standout player for me the best player of SK and just so consistent
And I think for especially when we talk about the loss returns draft top lane matchup
It's gonna be so important because postals not lose gracefully. So he needs to have a good matchup guys
You talk about 2019
We talk about the prime time of wonder only thing that I'm thinking about when I think about this matchup
Who was the sub for Wanderer in 2019?
Baus FFS!
It's the master against the students today for a spot in playoffs.
Remember Baus in 2019?
He was, of course, gaining the success that G2 had rightfully so, right?
He is an MSI champion alongside Wanderer.
Yes, yes, he is.
And we'll see if he can use that experience to get the belt.
I mean, he's learned a lot now under the Alar banner, right?
So we'll see if he can take it to the old man in the top line
I miss two worlds finalists versus one world's winner and a world's finalist, so I know who's gonna win tonight
Do the math here. That's really easy. Yeah, Vals vs. Wander
I think it's gonna be one of the match-ups we want to look at here, but first things first
We're gonna have Fnatic versus team Heretics and Draco's caught up with Grabs actually ahead of the game
So let's check out what he had to say
Thank you very much those of you at the desk bot lane is what we're hearing from the desk Grabs
Thank you so much for joining me today in this matchup. Is it as simple as everyone just looking at ice versus upset?
Is that all that matters?
Loki it's ice against us
Not only upset. I mean he is a very good player and he's there star player
I think that's fair to say so we might see some
Sharing it's on the bot lane or trying to hold him down
And I think if you do that with a good chance sounds like a strategy
That's probably worked out for you guys once or twice before playing towards the bottom side
But I'm curious a lot of people are talking about this fanatic lineup in kind of a big picture sense right there
They're looking at it, they're comparing it to last year.
Some people skeptical about how far you can go, but what's your perspective on the project
thus far?
How does it compare to last year's lineup?
What have you seen that you think is really standing out to you?
The work ethic is really good, the discussions we're having are really good.
People are very open to criticism and sharing their opinion, which I think is really important.
And I'm very happy with the progress we're having.
It doesn't reflect on the score line because we have this amazing best of one system
that's the only region in the world, which is amazing for that.
No, I think obviously we can improve a lot, but if you would have told me from seeing in scrims where we are right now, before generally, I would have said yes, please.
So I'm excited, obviously playoffs is not a given right now, but I think also we are a team that probably will be better in best of 5s than compared to best of 1s.
What is it, do you think about the best of 3s? Is it just deeper champion pools? Do you feel like you're more adaptable and that's the strength you haven't really gotten to show in best of 1?
as best of three so much more of an opportunity space for you than say for like any other team in
the league. Yeah I think Mawls and Peers for example is someone with some Cassanta duty but
that's because we are first pick all the time for some reason. Like even if you don't choose side
we get first pick a lot. Just the best pick blind and he's someone who's like he likes them
best as the Jacks. He's even 3ROTP and solo queue sometimes, gangplank and stuff. Not saying
that something's gonna happen in game 2 but he's a lead champion pool and lost balls of
Of course, has a lot of engagements left,
but we're not seeing a lot like the Lona, for example.
Or else, I don't pick that high and best of ones.
We're pretty good, so I think I'll pull strong deep,
and I'm excited for that.
All right, one step at a time.
First, we'll hope that you guys secure playoffs.
If we make it there, we'll get to see the depth
of the MPRO's champion pool.
Otherwise, maybe it's just Cassante's duty again,
casters, you can let us know
as we get ready for the draft.
I don't know why Dracoal thinks we have a better insight
as to what MPROs will be playing
in this game than Grabs would.
I mean, I have very strong opinions on Cassante Rumble.
I'm very vocal about it, and I just really hope we do not see that.
But they're very good picks.
They are great picks.
Very good picks.
And that's the problem, really, in this Fnatic vs. Heretics match-up,
that we are likely just going to see Cassante Rumble again.
Ah, I don't know anybody.
It's the Curse of the 01.
Only two more days!
Two more days!
Two more days!
Then we're back into fearless, baby,
but today we do have Fnatic vs. Heretics.
And we do?
A lot on the line for this game.
I think there's a lot of people watching that aren't necessarily fans of these teams,
that really care about the outcomes, and...
There's some super fanatic fans on the online interwebs.
I mean, Lost Returns has only been around for a couple of years, right?
The fanatic fans that have been hurt year after year over the last few years,
maybe some of them went great, maybe some of them went over the Lost Returns,
and now they're like, ah, I'm back to supporting fanatic in our dire hour
whether we can make it or not.
I'm just trying to point back at the bad habits.
I'm putting my faith in fanatic once again,
but obviously a lot of eyes will be on the bot lane.
It's been a standout performance now for Team Heretic and obviously upset.
Is Canada the main character of this matchup?
Always has been. A lot of things go down there, so that will probably be the main battlefield of today's matchup.
Yeah, I think Vladian to Seren as well could be an interesting matchup. Seren had a pretty good performance last week.
We'll see if he can replicate that once again as we are about to get into the draft.
Four Heretics on the other side of the corner.
Like, Fanatic winning this does lock them into playoffs at six wins. They'd be very happy with that.
The heretics, they win, they get to five and then you're kind of not guaranteed playoffs,
but you are so much closer than if you're sitting at that four win,
which is likely to be where the bubble hits in the end. Well, our top eight gets decided.
Yeah, to break down the bubble, win good, lose bad.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
I mean, if you win today, obviously, you will increase your chance of making playoffs
as we're slowly getting into draft here. I want to see how we navigate this because
there has been a patch change, not the biggest one,
But there are some little tidbits here and there. I do think that despite the Varus nerfs,
he will still be extremely high-prior as those nerfs was mostly targeted to those
pesky little Varus top 80 players. And we already see the Vance here. Rumble,
Aphelios Varus being taken out. Strong bot side focus here from Fnatic, targeting the
really strong bot laners in the Aphelios and the Varus to make sure I think Upset might
secure himself a winning bot in matchup. Yeah, no real surprises to see such a focus
down on that bottom lane with the Vi in the jargon taking away from heretics. They want to get
rid of things that razzle can really impact the early game on. They'll pick up the shinshow to
start off that's fanatic and on the other side heretics now likely looking towards their mid jungle
as they're still up to lia's still up you still have those strong picks rise as well still
available yeah right's been a very very prominent pick globally winning a lot of games uh we'll
probably expect to see a jungle pick here together alongside oriana anything they can
at a good at ball delivery. It could go for the mile fight but Silas is still up and available.
You don't even want to give Silas that good midman matchup into Rihanna plus the wall.
So, honoring the Jax right now, I'm thinking this could be a Jax jungle. It's a sort of
good matchup into the Shinshao but, you know, maybe it's just playing with us. It's going to be
the Mundo lock in, which obviously Meldje had a lot of success on and it's quite nice
into the Shinshao because it's really difficult for Shinshao to just dash into.
Because you're such a juggernaut, you have so much base damage, so much health region that
If Shinshaw goes in, he can't really get out. He doesn't have any disengaged, so Rida will be able to take a lot of space, and I like this pick for Mundo.
And you're also trying to knock someone back with Crescent Guard, or with three-talent strike out of the Shinshaw?
Like, Mundo has his passive, he goes away, he pleases, he's going to avoid that first bit of CC.
On the other side, Fnatic, pretty stock standard!
Corky is here, damn it!
Corky is here! Now on the same team at this, we will not see this mid then match up.
As we see the response to the Corfuus here looking as an Ambeza for Tracer, which is quite a bold blind pick for the Rooki top laner.
Ambeza is a very strong scaling top laner, really wants that level 9 power spike kind of for the CD on that Q,
as well as that Eclipse kind of that which starts coming out.
So, I want to see if you'd look to ban out the good ulcers.
Classic countering to Ambeza is the Renekton.
There is also something which is a bit of a debate, but the Arrenka order being taken out by Heretics.
I want to see how they do because now we have a little mismatch one team has picked up
The other team has picked 80 carry and with so many 80 carry bands already being down ice might have to dig really deep into that pool
Yeah, he's looking at things like the gym possibly he's also played smolder
But apart from that every 80 carry that he's played has either been banned or picked so far does of course have a slew of
Champions he's played over the years his jinx used to be really good as well when he was on BDS
So wouldn't be surprised if we see fanatic still trying to pinch that pool a little bit as real taken away
make sense you want to get rid of the ability for ice to avoid your all-in to avoid your engage also as you're into
Corky you can just stand back out of range of your Gaddling gun and farm up with the mystic shots so
Renekton and Alice to the bands from heretics and that's it looking towards their final band now you talked a little bit about the
Cassante being a good matchup into the best of possibly it's like a neutralizing match
Cassante will do his thing and Bessie will do her thing and they're both kind of happy scaling that matchup
So not a lot of action there. Historically people prefer to invest aside a little bit more, but knowing
Hattak's previous history on the Kisanta, I wouldn't be surprised to see a look in here.
I do want to see where to go with this AD carry though, because the buy and the Jarvan ban
early on tells me that they want to pick a hypercarry that does not want to get dough.
So, Ezra ban is a little bit surprising to me. I would think we want to target like the
Jinx that you mentioned. I think it's a great pick. Jin as well, one of Ice's classics,
and that looks like what he is hovering right now.
I think the risk was something like a gin is you could look towards either an all-in support, something like the Nautilus alongside that Corky, just go really hard in the paint, or even something like a bard, if LostBur wants to play it, right?
You just, it's a low mobility carry, you have two of them in the gin and the Orianna, a long-range tempered fate can really catch those people out, and then you have Valkyrie, you've got shifting sands, you've got the Emperor's Divide, you have a lot of tools to pick someone off if they're in the middle of that tempered fate.
I love it, I'm sold.
When you mention the Bard, I see the Bard, I love the Bard there, but it's going to be the most important.
If Bard blinded, it will be tricky.
This will be the Jax into the Ambassador matchup, though.
Empyros, before he played LSE, before he was the solo keep there, his name was Jax Plank.
He played Jax and, yes, it's Gank Knight.
So, this is one of his most comfort champions.
Really like it for him. Quite a volatile matchup.
You really want to make sure you can kind of get that counter strike off.
off like when the best I use is all their dashes that we want to go in because I don't
actually easily space that counter strike range kind of so really really cool matchup
would love to get back that as we see you rel lock in as a counter to the novelist and
it's a standard.
Yes solid right you if the Nordless engages you then look for your follow up you go a
ferrmati crash down into a magnet storm you've got a Mundo Oriana that's back you
up if anyone's caught to the side public execution comes on top of it right it's
Not a huge amount of disengaged coming out from Heretics.
It's more engage when the composition engages, right?
Re-engage, I guess, is where I would look.
The fanatic Nordless pick does also make sense.
It seems like really well with the porcupine on the bottom lane.
And with the Braum ban, it's your main counter in the lane.
Whenever Nordless goes in, he does not want to be met by a Braum
because you're just composite blows, CC'd.
No real escape for you after you use that stretch line forward.
But now we get into the real meets of the weekend.
Fanatic versus Heretics are our first game of LEC versus here in week four.
Both teams obviously looking for a win. That's one of the most superficial statements we've ever made
But if anatic win, they will make it into playoffs if heretics wins
They'll make it one step closer to being into playoffs
They're right on the cusp right now a win here would be huge for them and obviously detrimental to the teams around them
We talked a lot about lost returns in the analyst's segment
But you've also got teams like shifters SK who are sitting near that bubble one win behind
But we'd love it if they now can pick up for this win in the first game of the day
Right, a lot of ice on this game.
There's just one ice on this game.
It is on Jin. One thing that I found was really cool, I think with this Jin pick, is I wonder how they will use that deadly flourish to take space.
Because what I really like with Jin parrying is when you have someone with a long range slow.
Let's say you walk up with the Mundo, land the cleaver and connect that deadly flourish into that.
That's a root, that's a rally engage, that's a kill.
kill. So I really want to see them make use of that in the mid game because I think that's how they take
and control space, also the public execution, the follow from the long range. Do think early game
it's going to be quite slow. Maybe we'll see some action in the top lane. Empress may be hovering
around to look for all in here, but for the wave. Empress running demolished, triple tonic up in
that top lane. I don't know a huge amount of that top lane runes, but on the other side we saw
Tracer going for the biscuits, I believe, so he's going to be looking for a little bit more
more sustain in the lane overall.
Bot lane's pretty evenly matched,
but the ADC is still running cashback
even after it's slight nerf on 26.3,
which is the patch we are playing on this weekend.
Yeah, so he's just going for the boots,
triple tonic mega econ build.
Some people go cashback on Jax.
It's more of a preference if you want the boots
for the cashback.
Either way, it's some money in your pocket
for basically no effort at all.
Early game, we'll see Jax controlling his match
after slow pushing, stacking his grasp up,
and if Ambassador walks up, jump,
Out attack, rasp, dip out.
That's how you train.
And later it becomes a little bit more volatile,
but it's really difficult for Ambassador
to contest these early waves,
so we'll see Jax having a really, really sort of push
from the beginning.
Seren with the push in the mid lane right now.
Trace rush into lethal tempo.
Vladdy will be looking for that Nashus tooth.
You know, really needs some attack speed on the Azir
to have too much control in the lane.
Meanwhile on the bot lane, Ice and Sten,
do have the push in slightly,
but isn't really going to amount too, too much
with the cleanse on upset as well.
gives himself that relative degree of safety.
There's always this kind of waiting game
where the rel is like, when am I gonna cleanse?
Do I cleanse to avoid getting knocked up with the crash down?
Do I cleanse to avoid the shadow,
after the shadow of the strike,
that microstone coming out?
When am I looking for it?
Am I cleansing to avoid the deadly flourish?
Coming out from the dune as well.
So, outside we'll be needing to work around that,
but with the shattering strike getting rid of shields,
there's no real point taking barrier.
Good to write.
I mean, it's all about timing
and shooting when you don't want to die.
most of the time for me I'm gonna be honest yeah sometimes my brain is a
little tricky
one thing I want to attack this game is that I've kind of a big different view
on these two support players because Lospat as we've seen is one of the
players that really like to stay close to his AD carries, a little bit of fighting in the top
I think nothing more will come out of it but Lospat really likes to hug upset
side yes the highest AD support proximity in the league right now
Meanwhile, Stend really likes to be active on the map, really likes walking with Shio,
taking space together and trying to control the bigger picture.
So I think there's going to be a little bit of clash in play styles here, can actually
lost but not really punished.
I mean the 2v2 or can Stend just kind of run away with the map.
I didn't look at the fact that we were running a little picture in picture there and
upside got the full Mike Rosowski treatment on this graph.
I'm just covering the face of the picture.
But as you say, 63.1% Bot proximity is Vlad and Seren are trading in the middle lane, so we're looking for that final bit of damage, can't quite find it, but Vlad is going to have to recall, does have his TP, but it's probably going to lose the cannon, you have to back all the way off because Seren can walk past the wave and hit him with a command attack.
So Vlad will lose a couple of minions here, but should be able to teleport back for that next wave.
Really solid lane by Seren, so for up 10 CS almost and pushing Vlad back, I thought that was a flash force.
They're really cocky. He's trying to decide that the Q would come on attack instead, but big pressure early from Seren, really, really well played.
I mean, last week or two weeks before he solo-killed Jota, I think Seren's slowly, his laning phase seems to be one of his strongest points.
Really good knowledge about these mid-main control matchups and always seems to be in a good spot, so really impressive from a rookie.
Or rookie is a strong word.
I would say very rookie-adjacent at most. Like, guys been to Worlds, been to a couple of MSIs, like, he has had some experience, get some of the best players in the world.
It's Rook in the LEC. Yeah, he is a Rook. It's his first split in the LEC as you say and I see both the top laners backing as well
It's a Sheen into a pickaxe
No real surprises build path wise and person we're going towards that Trinity Force
I know
Ambessors some of them do like to go towards an Eclipse first, but some did sky also works really well
Where would you be going in this matchup?
I think against Jax is because how you can't really rely on getting those auto attacks in
Eclipse usually is the better option because if Jax jumps on you
You instantly get the shield, kind of block that first burst, and then you kind of space him.
SundarSky is a little bit more common in these more long extended fights.
You can pick your Santa matchup, pick your Renekton matchup, where you're under a little bit more threat.
Obviously you can still go to SundarSky against Jax, but usually you see the clips in this matchup.
Now the wave seems to have gotten a little bit stuck here for Emperor, and Jax is just holding it, trying to get the short train.
And the problem for Tracin on the top side is that he knows his jungler is on the bot side.
on the bot side. And so he can't really push too far up into this, doesn't really know where
Razork is right now, so as Perotix using their advantage in the bottom lane, we'll be able
to take the first drake of the game, then looking for Lothar here, gets hooked out with
a dredge line, nicely done by Lothar, does take off his health for it but avoids a crash
down hit him onto his Corki.
That was a really good deflect by Fnatic bot lane there, I think they're really
good out of that quite well. Now Razork has the 10-point bandage over Shiyo,
He took a lot of time taking that dragon. She was also up three camps already really clever pathing
We didn't really track that and doesn't really need the base
Standing around I think it might be a Drake plus an extra scottacraft giving him that advances
We have to have a look back at it. I would likely it would make a lot of sense
Randall snuck around towards the topside dodged the butt because he could flash from Emperor
Randall was playing the kill but that was all Emperor
Beautiful to play there by the fnatic topside and this all stems from the fact that before you saw
Emtraus hold that wave while Razzark was in Pog of War and Tracin didn't really feel secure enough to push out that wave
And now he waited so long the wave was still stuck there
And maybe got a little bit impatient because Razzark still had time for that gank
Beautiful sidestep on the execution there by Razzark and really nice flash followed by Emtraus
We'll secure them a beautiful first spot and a nice cheeky little goalie
It's that AP on a hit, Jack, so he's making rounds for solo queue.
It's that AP, Jack, baby.
Bringing it out now.
I really like this build.
I wonder if he'll go for the Gumblaid. I've been trying a little bit of A to Jax as well in solo queue with the Gumblaid, Dusk and Dawn.
There's a lot of ways you can kill Jax because he can just use any stats to be honest.
Little bad stats on him, so really high burst potential with this Dusk and Dawn rush.
Without the phase rush, it will be hard to really play that in and out playstyle in those teamfights.
So I wonder how he will look on the side then because you will be very squishy when you buy like this.
It's also interesting where you do have physical damage on the rescue team.
Torque does the physical damage and so does the Shinshao, but Shinshao usually isn't really seen as a major AD damage dealer, attack damage dealer.
So you are investing quite heavily on this topside towards that magic damage if you're going towards the Dusk and Dawn.
This matchup is becoming tough now for Tracin, he really dodged that scum strike well but he's still in this bad spot where he can't push out his wave.
his jungler is still at both sides and Razzuz is hovering around this topside.
I think we might see another little repeat gank here, Tracin's still not flashed,
wave is looking tough and we already see the Rift grubs.
Yeah, with the grubs being up, I'm wondering if we do see a repeat gank
or if it's just a play to play towards these grubs.
So you can see Sten already parts out through mid, now has level 6,
we're lost for still.
About a few minions away from level 6 himself,
he's going to land and the Staggering blows on to Sten,
who now needs to get across that wall because Razzuz on the way has to flash,
Magnet Storm a little hasty from our horse stand in the mid lane.
It's tricky enough for team heretics because you have no flash in your Orianna.
You have no flash on your rel and there is an assay with flash with the potentials to make a great shuffle.
Jax is now starting to push up top as the investor takes a few trades back.
But I do think if you're heretics you kind of need to come see this because you are running out of time.
Seven doesn't have TP. Ice is going to get caught out, has to flash away from the Empress divide.
because of that seven can stay around in the middle and get the push out here once again lost but about to stick over to level six and
Two minions time or so the grubs begun by show
We're as was gonna get chased out hex flash forward here by stand but with lost for being six
You can't go too far forward having burnt your flash earlier on yeah
I mean they get the jins flash but you see all the tension just dissipates the moment that a serial is done
Cuz suddenly there's no risk of a shroom a shuffle and here they're trying to enter a jump in with a short break
We follow up, Ranzom trying to dive onto with the backline,
Gladiator going in as well, 7 so low on mana is gonna full show,
gets one with a Cleveland response, 1 for 1 so far, TP coming out,
as the Jax is gonna join the play, M4s will be here in time,
and Sten realizes he cannot get out.
Fanatical claim another, 3 kills so far this game.
I mean really nice, Panic still knew that they are all stronger,
there's no flash on Mariana, no flash on D-Rail,
so once they commit, they cannot decommit again.
They will be stuck there in the play, and with the Tiki from Jax,
Aerotix has cut their losses, still got one Graves, will just be an even trade as we look at this 5-1.
So we'll see the Shockwave come out here, and I think they, as soon as they can kill Lost for a little bit quicker.
And S7 solo on mana, basically only had the mana for the Shockwave, as soon as that's used, you talk about it.
You can't see commitment, you've gone in, you've looked for the play, you managed to get one,
but after that you kinda need to get out and you don't have those tools left in your arsenal.
Public execution coming out, as they look for Emports, it doesn't have to flash on the top side here.
Scrap his way out here, it's a tough one.
Hound a strike coming out, he's trading back onto Tracin who tries to dodge away.
Emperor's almost had him, but can't quite get in range.
And Shai-O will smack him across the head with a briefcase.
In the end, heretics do come out on top, but it was damn well closed.
Oh, if you're all the muscles tense up in those situations,
you really feel you can kinda get a damage from Tracin with all those dashes.
Manages to bait Emperor's in, plays a little bit with him.
Manages to get out with his life.
No flash was able to be used as he was still on cooldown.
It's gonna come up now together with that trust and wrong purchase, but
How do you get a dragon as good for fanatic to make this cross map play evens out the dragon score was only a grubber piece
The risk is Tracing could TP in here has got the Eclipse now finished
Teleporting on towards the backline Valkyrie away from us at last we're trying to dredge line his way away as well
the curtain call did land the flows and now lost them knocked back and
Tracing will claim at the kill the drake did fall for fanatic
But how much it will take the kill to even out the gold.
Still use your Ambassador thinker for one kill there, to be honest.
I don't think you really mind that, if you're dramatic.
Sure, you got the dragon.
Sure, your support died, but a lot of retail now for Jax Hop is going to be able to push this wave out.
What will they get a plate over the soon?
Tracing's already here, though.
It's already here, yeah.
And as I said, Eclipse now as we talked about before,
let's see how these item power spikes interact with each other,
because if you get top, for Empire also take your trade now with that shield from the Eclipse.
He's blocked so much with initial damage.
I think the risk is well for Emporos is he doesn't have any vision on this top side of Matt.
Now puts down a control ward onto those fay lights that will get a little bit of vision himself.
But at any point, Shale could be coming up through that jungle.
His blue is up, spotted out with that Skryor's Orb, a plant used by Emporos to get himself a little bit of safety.
But Shale waiting.
Shale is kind of farming up the storm right now.
100 CS, two kills and one assist doing really well on this lund.
though he will be very immovable and I struggle to see unless Vlad gets really strong it will
be really difficult for Fnatic's comp to deal with his Mundo. We've seen this Mundo Orianna combo
with the flash in with the ball many times so I don't know what time we're now, but nice
to be in for us. Sit yours in the pressure in the topside. Does the Duskendo build give you
more burst, more sustained damage on the Jax because I'm wondering if he's being used
partly as a way to get through the Mundo to a degree that you do have an Azir who can
You can do that to a relatively good degree himself as well.
Yeah, I mean the big thing about this gun though is usually as Jax, when you want to trade,
you want to hit the minion wave two times, jump, off back to W.
I thought we had it on for the fight here because we have a little bit of a slap in the face.
They're going to run away.
Just grapple over dude.
Scrapple over dude.
And POS going in.
Look at the trade grabbosses might coming out as well.
Razor kept a bay by Sheo.
The bouncer is here.
Look at the bouncer, he's really strong here.
I don't think Razor can deal with it, he has no flash, Razor.
He does have the smite, uses the Crescent Guard.
Now with Enfros coming across, it's a little bit more risky for Sheo.
Counter-Strike used for the stun, public execution, flashed away from there.
Just another guy able to retreat.
They had a business meeting in the back then, but I think he has to walk out there.
They were looking for the Orianna ball, flash combo I think, but
felt a little bit too squishy if he added level 11
even with an extra health regen from the ult, I think would be a really strong fighter,
but goodbye Racer to not out-attack him before he ults, to make sure he gets that knockback
and gets that passive proc off. But as we were talking about the Jax with this Dusk
and Dawn, the big thing is that you usually want to out-attack the minion wave twice.
I don't think you can talk about Dusk and Dawn, they're always gonna fight here.
Then you might be able to get away from this, we've become blind and coming out
but it's just for the slow, we're so in here, Ladi's gonna get pulled back with
The shockwave, Lusper joins the fray and neatly heretics defend, an ultimate for an ultimate exchange in the end, wave is pushing in
It's really big for heretics though, look at all the time Fnatic is used here to get nothing
This is still heretics coming out, I thought they have the temple, they have the wave push and their Mundo is already clear in their bot side camps
Real nice by heretics, has a lot of control by this because now Shinshao has the base and reopened on the map once again
And soon Mundo is going to be back with his clear and then he's going to come top here and look to pressure this tower with Ladi
the slot have an easy base.
What about the Rift Tower coming up in 30 seconds, right?
So you can see, Cher is pathing up towards this.
Stend has been on the top side as well
to gain some vision control around this.
In 20 seconds, you can go for the Rift Tower.
You can then reset in time to play for the Hex-Sect Drake,
which is up in a minute 20.
Now, the whole Tower isn't going to fall,
but it's more plates over to Seren.
There's about a 300, 400 gold lead
after collecting those.
And at the bottom, you can see,
it's only M-Cross actually ahead for Fnatic right now.
Heretics, they crawled a little bit of the early storm.
with 3-1 down, but now they've been able to fight their way back into the game.
Yeah, and it seems like Jax actually still has a lot of pressure in the Hotham matchup.
He has to feel really well in these trades.
Maybe now I get to talk about the Jax Dusk and Dawn interaction.
No, let's give him a tough fight.
Razzler going in, looking for Shairo.
He's just going to chase him down, then coming in from the side as well.
There's the Magnus, so I'm just going to go out by Razzler.
He has to flash away from the ice, who has that deadly flow.
There's Vlad, he's going to try and jump on towards the window,
but Razzler's going to be down.
The shockwave combo on him.
Vlad is sliding in.
The counter strikeout from M.P.R.O.S. as well with a teleport, that massive HP shield, UPSTAKT!
Misa dodged this curtain call, tracing Kudaluk with uppercase occlusion, and they managed to get the Korki out.
Yeah, and here you see the problem with this Mundo, he's so immovable, he just walks through and hits whoever he wants.
You see Rassar has to flash out early, but he doesn't care, he goes for he pleases, and he pleases to be on Rassar.
And he does, that he does. Stand hitting 500 assists in the LEC with that sequence.
Great man that's still forcing the Crescent Guard out early, meaning the curtain call was always available.
You can see again, it's a numbers advantage at the start of the fight here for Heretic.
And then Raster is overstepping here. He's talking too far off with all the backup.
He meets Ladi and up to the closer when he retakes his river, but his voice and not there yet.
The TK is a pre-emptive, it's reactive, and now it's just a disaster for Heretic.
If you lost the fight, you lose the Herald and you have to flash out and run with your tail behind your back.
Between your legs?
You know, the tail is kind of always behind your back. It's anatomically where a tail would be.
Between your legs.
Up to the base.
Okay, sure. I'm not a vet, man. I don't know.
If they're charging in to the mid lane tower, we'll get the first turret of the game over two heretics.
You get another charge out here as well as Mundo slams it in, more plates over to him, a 1.2k gold lead now for show.
Just took the purple company car and just drove it right into the tower.
You're getting so much gold, you technically now get plates from the tier 2s as well, such a big gold influx.
Now 1.2k gold up on the Mundo, so ahead of Rassort.
Now with the dead man's plate, swift his shoes, he will definitely walk up and take a lot of space.
It's going to be really hard for them to stop him as well.
as well. You do have some CC, you know, you've got a Counter-Strike, Emperor's Divide, you've got the Q3 knockup from Razork.
Lospa has a ton of crowd control in his kit, but if you're using that on a Mundo, you're then not using it on the rest of the team,
because they can be so far separated, right? The Shockwave combo could be a long way away.
Jin can stand a year away and pull out the third and call.
And then the ambassador can just wait at the edge of the fight and jump in at the last moment when she's needed.
I mean, the freaky situation right now is that Team Heritage is a triple threat comp,
But the biggest threat is the non-threat jungle that is a huge problem Mundo is the biggest
threat. Everyone is like oh no he's just a tank, no this guy does infinite damage he
just push push pushes and there's nothing you can do against it. Public execution just
why is there from Tracen looking to clip upsets heals but thankfully his copter was able to
keep him out of danger. His tail was not too far behind his back, it's very short
than that. True, yes. That's why the Corgi skin is actually the best. It has a very small
tail. If it was like an Irish wolfhound or something with one of those long tails, it's
like, well, obviously you're going to get caught at that point. Heretics playing up towards
the topside, they know this tower is relatively low. They're going to try and get in towards
it. Loster is here to try and defend, Bladdy. He will be able to do so for the time
being. Mprost with a good push out bot. He can go into the fog of war, but doesn't
have his teleport, so he can't be here quickly. You can kind of see Heretics
Abandoning that top laner to a degree. There's no vision in this bot lane. He knows that he's just stand back
I mean, he'll never get though. Yes shield from his W. He has the eclipse has so good wave there
He's super fine by himself doesn't matter that emperors gets this push
He has TP to join if emperors is moving up and he is in his habitat
Blurishing right now. His team is taking so much control of the map now Munda will do that real clear
Okay, we'll slow down a little bit. I assume we're gonna get the next battle in two and a half minutes for that dragon
That's probably going to be the main venture for her, I would say.
Yeah, I think making sure that Fnatic don't get to a soul point, that's an easy way back into the game.
A Hex soul when you've got a Corki with a long range missiles, when you've got the Azir as well.
You have a lot of ways of applying that slow from a long range away.
Heretic's a little slow to the punch on the top side.
Fnatic are investing four players up here with Empress moving,
knowing that the bot lane push is coming out slowly from Tracer.
It means that he could just walk up here, then reset.
Shadow of Destruction short from Sten, and for us, let's get the camp struck, alright?
But now Mundo is gonna walk so deep into the bot side jungle of Fnatic.
They're gonna walk behind this tower and look to get so much down there.
There's a keep coming down from, I think it's the Aseir.
He is fine, it will just be two blades, but still now, Sten is gonna walk in,
put a little bit of vision and then base and then reopen bot side here.
Really good crossing by Fnatic, really keeping the map active and making sure they're not just sitting there
watching the game fall further out of their hands, but now the dragon is coming up and you're gonna
have to fight this Mundo if you want to contest it. They're still a minute and a half before we
have that dragon, so you've got a little bit of time to talk about the stakes of the game.
Heretics can lock playoffs if they get two wins. If Fanatic win this game, they lock playoffs,
and do some favors to the teams around Heretics in the standings. Obviously,
we talked about loss for Sones earlier, but the shift is in SK. We'll be very happy
if they see the players in orange taking home this win. For the moment though,
how it seems to be in a solid position. You know, you've got good scaling in the Mundo,
the gym will do some damage later on, but on the other side, there's no scaling to be sniffed at.
You know, Jax and Azir scale really well into the game, even Korky can do some damage later on.
Yeah, and Jax going for the Sundersky here, second, kind of a hybrid build to be kind of
tanky, but also be able to skirmish, because you really need that kind of cut-life skill,
but like life on hits, you get from the Sundersky to keep up with Mbess on the side then.
What I will say about Hedgick's comp is that they have a lot of things going for them,
but they don't have great objective damage.
The Mundo Orianna Jin best I don't think is shred objective,
so you really need to make sure you play for this fight,
play for these deadly Blurges,
and play for these choke points where Nathik walks in,
because you can't really rush an objective down
in the same way you can with like a Seer,
Shinshao Jax, Kortikom.
Yeah, trying to force the fights around the objective
rather than force the objective itself.
You can see that even from the Orianna build,
it is pure damage.
Flakfire torch and then it seems to be a Shadow Flame
coming up next, so it's mostly about
having the Mundo flash into the backline or walk into the backline and then first
seeing people out rather than looking for that consistent DPS across the course
of a fight like the Azir would go for with the Nash's tooth and the Rylai's
crystal scepters. I think the Landershire Raster is taking a big chunk.
It's gonna come out, there is the Crescent Guard as well, Stend retreats
jumping across the wall, TP coming in, it's a bananic look, try and take the fight,
Shale's still on the front line though, Counter-Strike out from Emperor,
does get ice down as they look for the fight to continue. Still that shockwave
and the Mundo automatic available to heretics. They can step back in here,
Razzle has started up the Drake, 5,000 on it.
Good position, they're rolling the line very well, they're on this banana bush,
but they're trying to rush it down a little bit to fast, look at that.
Yeah, Shere is going to walk in, lost by looking at that back line,
staring knocked up into DEM charges, DEM falls first,
and puts with a counter strike, Shere trying to get close enough
to the Drake to smite it away, but Fnatic keeping a bay,
and that is the third Drake of the game over to Fnatic.
Really nice, Fnatic, really good patience there,
and I love the fact that Emperor jumps in, gets a lot of defensive cooldowns out by heretics
and then instantly realizes, my drop is done, I will not go deeper, now I will refuse my battle line
where we will hold them and when they want to come into us, we have our Seer, we have our Corky
and we have our Nautilus Oak in case they over commit, really well played by Fnatic and really
good control of this objective that was so so crucial. They're getting the turn and call out
as well and immediately cancelled by Ice, we're having a look at this, glad he gets caught with the deadly
very flourish, Shayo is trying to step in. Meanwhile, public execution on to Ampros,
who does still have his flash and will jump away with a leash, like Tracing trying to
chase him down, but Ampros escapes a 200 HP, should just be able to walk away.
A little bit swept today, will be probably the power for Tracing here. I don't think
they have any TPs to defend this, so will just be a nice little golden touch for him,
really nice play. And now, it is when this matchup starts becoming a little bit
more and best of favourite. Early game, we saw Jax winning the trades. We saw him
taking really good short trades with a big old third outstack and W pump, but
now with the Shoujin and the eclipse. She just has so much CDR, she can go through multiple rotations
in and all in and that's where Jax kind of starts falling a little bit behind without that
lethal tempo. Yeah makes sense, you need something to kind of sustain yourself up through the fight,
give yourself that power through it, maybe even a conqueror would work in that sort of situation.
Bladdy has taken a lead in the mid lane, 560 gold ahead now, two items complete on this
is there. The Rylai is doing a lot of work in these fights, obviously the Swifties for
to get into the fight unless
he finds a flank really helps
with genetic. You saw their
stand kind of got caught at
the start and then never had
the opportunity to get onto
that backline, which is what
they're really looking for.
Let's show. Steps forward here
is spotted out by the
fasted automation and that
ward. TP behind seven does
have flash, but no teleport of
his own. Sten going to try
and collapse here as well.
Losbonn-Razzles needs to be
a little bit careful because
heretics could collapse on them
first, but with the
could collapse on them first, but with the Test and Guard coming out there's no real
way for Semi to join up with his teammates, a great TP in by Vladdy, and now
Stendr's left to the walls as well, he'll flash the wall, but Fnatici found a kill,
will they look for more? Empress and Upset on the flank themselves, but it's
definitely Wheeler Empress wants to get a double stun here, try to get Stendr down.
Stendr's just down no matter what, the Magnus Storm comes out too late, a hook
and a land on Tracin as well, as Ice goes to the mid-length to try and clear out the way, but Fnatici
going to push through this top side. Look at all that power damage and they will most likely go to
try to get this barrel now. Maybe they will not do it, but it does have not that teleport right now,
so they will just take the base and then open and try to do this once again, but that's the
issue with having your Ambassador bot to our TP. Really good mindfulness by now to know that
Ambassador was down because if she TP's in here, this is a different play. This is completely
different. This is pure TP tracking. Really good stuff overall. For a second I thought
they might get caught down towards the bottom side of bloody is there quickly and you can see like
Cern has no escape, has no recourse to get out and then the collapse coming in from the rest of
the team with the ambassador too far away to cut them off means that empress is able to make sure
they secure this second kill. I mean the problem for heretics conk is when you don't go first
suddenly you lose a lot of options because if they just go on your rel, who's kind of being
the one that's going on technatics comp? Sure you have a mundo with flash but it doesn't
really do that much so you really want to be the one on the initiative with these
that they've flourished as lever combos than we talked about before, because if
heretics is less fanatic engage on them, it's so difficult for them to counter engage.
You don't really have that, kind of, snapback peel that's, for example, fanatic would have to come.
Really all on the rail. Lost to which is unhurt here, shadowy strike coming out,
there's TP behind him, as Mpros is gonna join the play, Upset there as well,
Turd and course comes out, as the damage from Ice is relatively big on the backline,
but Mpros is diving in, down, out the plaza wall, the Mundo killing the hell away from there,
As he's caught out, Goat Deadly Flourish is going to land Crescent Guard out from Razzle
because he looks for Ice Manatee and that's lighting himself.
Razzle very deep in here.
As Tracen looks for the Chase, Badi goes in immediately and CC'ed and taken out!
Fanatic looks for the fight, they overextend him with Razzle, and Badi dead.
Heritage will turn their eyes to the Baron!
Oh, that was over-eating as we've seen for Fnatic time and time again.
Rassler, Cwede going a little bit too deep there.
They had the good initial five.
Emperor gets so much space with those counter-strike
because now he'll be heretics taking his Baron.
I'm going to rewatch it by later up to try to get a mid power, but that's just a consolation prize.
This will be a big win for heretics.
I have to let the look at it, yeah, because Shaiou and Stendon 7 are looking for something here.
Fnaticus, if we TP in, we can take this fight.
Yeah, look at it, the TP is really good here.
Ember's will come in here and a massive, massive counter strike.
And it's really difficult for key heretics to kind of fight faster.
They have to flash out the window flashes out, Orianna flashes out.
And here, if we're fatic, you have to slow down.
But Brasslet sees an angle, goes for it.
It doesn't really have anyone to pull him up with him, and now, the moment that both goes out, it's so easy for Ice to slowly shoot him there, and now it's just an easy baron take for the Hexix.
Yeah, really good instance to see on Vladimir as well as he went in. He was looking to get that Emperor's Divide down, but Magnazone comes out, he's immediately stunned up, and then with a public execution over the top of it, really hard for him to actually do anything now.
Hexix do not have those automates available, the Shockwave is just back off, cooldown stem is getting chipped down, and this is the Hexix so fight for Fnatic.
Heretics will continue to try and play against it, but Razzlock jumps in onto Tracen.
Contact execution is still a while away from it. Mundo also is still not back up.
Seven seconds on it. The Drake is down to 2,000. Sheo goes in and gets the dragon.
Will Heretics be able to get out of the fight? Baddie falls. Seren takes him.
Dredgeline in from LOSFA. The Tracen's doing so much work on the back line.
Upset and then drops versus Sheo. Seren is trying to get out of here.
Sheo should be able to ult and walk out. Counter strike won't get him in time.
end of three for three exchange for the dragon goes to share I mean that exist
things so so fast I really like this attempt by them they almost got the way
with it as well but it will be she or securing the smite there but what else
what what are options do you have with that if you allow team air to set up the
map we push down those waves you will lose this dragon eventually so really good
player engaging on the rail is so crucial because if well coming it's
back there is nothing he has to do with the lawyers looking at them I
He starts to walk up with his Mundo, but he's not that strong, but he does end up getting
into this pit and crucially, crucially, crucially winning the Smythe fight, but in the end Upton
does a lot of damage on the back of the Smythe, makes some work here, but doesn't mean they're
having a smile without that relevant.
Yeah, good ultimate as well with the Shot Grave, distracting Fnatic as Shale is walking
in, 240 on the Drake.
Not the cleanest fight, not really what you want after securing a Baron, but now
Heretic have a little bit of time, 40 more seconds to push in with this Baron buff.
They'll get the wave in the bot side and get the tower alongside it,
taking the turret score up to 5 and their lead up to about 2.3k.
It's a slow, slow build up now again for Heretics.
The game will slow down now.
Baron is in 3 minutes and 30, so it's all about pushing after side waves,
getting those small vision pockets and slowly trying to get Nadeck to take less
and less space on this map.
waiting for those flashes to come back off cooldown as well only stand has his at
the moment for heretics and only upset has his for fanatic next fight only in
about two and a half minutes or so around the next baron or even around the
next drake we could see an exchange that does happen sometimes maybe heretics
willing to give up the soul to make sure that they can take that down and go
for the push with three items complete on ice and three on upset the
The AD carries are relatively evenly matched, but the big discrepancy, the gap currently
is in the jungle with Sher having a 1.2k gold lead, 217 stacks on his heart steel, and with
a spirit massage complete, you can see the oblivion already from Braddy.
He knows they need some of this healing reduction.
They don't have it in the night from their support, so really it's on Braddy to get
those Goobers wounds down.
Let's remind the gap here, Sher tries to take this red bar of charge stick, because
because last time they fought around here it went really well but
we'll see this red buff raster will now take a little bit more space
you see he has a lot of people backing him up right now
they want to try to get a little bit of vision in this river
so they can see what heretics is doing
because I can talk about heretics doesn't have great objective damage
they need to pretend to start this and then go for the fight
but if Nadee just calls their bluff and just says
we know you won't do this
we're gonna go put this in the fight
they're kind of winning out and it's slower
So Heretic really needs to do something with the D right now and needs to take more space and look for this deadly flourish picks that we keep going back to
It's always just a bit tricky sometimes you get very quickly outnumbered
So in in the top side does have his teleport
But when he's not there for the start of the fight not there for that shockwave on the back line
It's a little bit more precarious
So is gonna walk through the midline here a little bit isolated so that deadly flourish a possibility from ice long range
Clipping onto upset
At the moment how it's it's only really playing around two lanes you can see tracing realizing I need to get down to
Bot to catch that wave that's being pushed in by bloody right now
Seren also perhaps realizing
It's a lot of damage in the papers yeah
I want to see how emperors utilizes the sonius all gloss in the fight because that is so it's such a big item for the
Jax you can do so much as on his hour hour glass getting another rotation of your counter strike off just
creates so much space in the fight for your team and I feel like with their
front line being kind of weak in the Shinshao and the Jax it's all about how
much time you can waste because you're not tanky but you do have the Shinshao
ult, the Guardian Angel, the Stopwatcher from the Jax so that's kind of what
you're playing for that's your front line it's not really your health bar
it's that kind of time you can buy. Also being helped out by the Bandal
Pipes coming out from the hospital alongside that lock it lock it for
the shielding obviously but Bandal Pipes when you have these champions that
are so reliant on auto attacks. It's so nice to have that attacks be buffed across the team.
On the other side, Heretic picked up some big items as well. Rapid fire cannon now completed
for Ice, Zonya's hourglass on Serik. He's been isolated in a lot of these fights.
Standing back for when Emperor's Divide is on top of him, it's hard for him to get
the hell out of the way. So we'll see how effective he can be at using that Zonya's
just to avoid damage in this upcoming fight. Heretics will get in control over the bottom
side river. Fanatic walked towards the top side. We talked about a Baron for Drake
exchange to possibility. Bladdy caught up with the root hit.
Rushing Shockwave! Bladdy's down!
Bladdy's down!
Immediately beautiful play from Heretic.
The fanatic left on the wares, left their midlaner to die.
Razzle dies back in, but his guardian angel will not
diss on his shoulder any longer.
Heretic immediately collapsed and with a blink of an eye,
fanatic destroyed.
And we were talking about an all-game log.
It's Cleaver into deadly flourish into Shockwave.
What a beautiful setup by Heretics there.
Really catches Vladik off guard.
They're setting a huge time to face.
If you go for the dragon, we're going to go and take the Baron instead.
But now, Heretics, they don't care about the Baron.
They do not care about the dragon.
They care about the base of Vladik.
Empros and Upset have a mammoth cast in front of them.
Rostra there as well.
Empros' counter-strike goes out, dashes out with the leaked strike.
Heretics do not have a wave here for quite a while.
There's a huge wave down towards the bottom side.
But instead, they'll turn their attention towards the drake.
They take D in here, and they'll begin to back off.
Will they just immediately rush the Drake here?
You've got a couple of seconds on that,
so it should be able to get it, but with a Hex-Sect Gate,
it's a little tricky for them to make sure they get it.
Make sure they get it.
Make sure they tell us by heritage going for it.
Maybe they're just making sure you get the objectives for sure now.
I think it might be in time to contest this.
And even if they can just slightly contest it,
then you have a Baron fight immediately afterwards.
So with the TP behind by Emberos,
he gets that massive shield,
tracing Kord out with a Dredge line show.
Still sticking on the Drake, and you will get it.
Magus Storm coming out.
Stend will fall. Fanatic find one out of the fight. Tracin still has his flash if he needs to escape the clutches of Emporos, but can just dash away. Fanatic now can turn their attention over to the Baron.
They have to be a slightly careful. There's double supers in the mid lane. Razort caught out. Crescent Guard coming out with the curtain call on top of it.
Cheryl looking for that backline. Emporos gonna be forcefully struck away. Another curtain call coming out, and Razort is caught out by it. No one call for him.
As their heretics step back in, the flash in from Ladi Vanzai, tracing him to drop a bite.
Seren looking for that chopper, he doesn't have it up right now,
Ladi's gonna chase out by him.
Kano and Tracing doing so much work on the backline,
and Emperors and Lothba are lost in the river!
Your empire no longer Emperors, as Seren claims the double.
And now, fanatic, you tried to take the fight around the Hexhec Drake,
and found their nexus will be forfeit.
And it is a back and forth constant brawl between these two teams as Heretics will take the fight, will take the dragon and now will take the base of Tatic as they look on this Nexus with great joy.
Incredible team fights from Heretics, the speed of the Engagers on repeat.
heretics who claim the win will take themselves to five, who separate themselves from the chasing pack
and now are just that one step closer to playoffs.
What a performance, what a Mundo we just witnessed. This really highlights the strength of this Mundo.
Just being able to take so much space in so difficult for Rassar to see the patience of him
running out of just giving up space, giving up space. Eventually he feels like okay I need to
to go for a fight, but then he just can't go through the Mundo and really, really, really
nice execution here by Heretic. Really enjoy how they utilize that G.W. Mundo Q and the
Flash. It's just gorgeous that pick on Vladimir.
Yeah, incredible play all round by them. If you vote for one of them, your player of
the game, both Tracen, Shaeo or Seren are your options. I think Tracen had a good
game. I think Shaeo and Seren had exceptional games. They really, really performed well.
Shaeo as well as a player that last year, the team was very much built around him.
it was a show is the guy that helps carry us through.
I haven't seen that as much this year.
This game, you really saw that from there.
I mean, you're completely right.
This is the identity, the heretics shapes.
Last year they were trying to build on
and now finally we see that coming into fruition.
Finally seeing how this team is supposed to work
with that rookie flopping.
I think you trace another great game as well,
despite the early trades.
Yeah, he really did.
He really did.
For fanatic fans, you're waiting until tomorrow.
There are ways they can get in
without winning this weekend
but the match against G2 is gonna be a big one.
Drake also standing by with show.
Take it away, man.
First round of applause for Shale, if you watched Mundo just absolutely crushed him dreams that game.
The Orianna Mundo looked flawless, it's a comp that we've seen before, but was there anything you were thinking when you locked in the Mundo today?
Was there a particular reason why you brought it out?
I mean, they first picked Xen'O, so I can have multiple champions into this champion.
But Mundo is really easy champs on stage that makes plays.
So that's why we went for it.
What has been the big shift for Team Heritage?
Because when we saw you guys in like week one, the Smolder game, it was all a little all over the place
But it feels like these last two weeks you guys have been getting better and better and better
What's the big change that has led to this?
I think the Smolder game was a bit unlucky and we could have won it if there is no bot lane incidents
But right now we're really focusing on small details and to link up on perfect timing
So that's why we're improving a lot. Yeah, definitely showing on stage up against Fanatic
I'm curious how you feel. Playoffs, you're not there yet.
You're getting closer with five wins.
What have you moved like in the camp? How are you guys feeling?
Do you feel like there is pressure on you coming into this last day?
Because a lot of teams I know feel a ton of stress.
Are you guys one of those teams?
I don't think we felt pressure today.
I think we know that we are a better team than them.
And we show it today as well.
And we are just playing day by day and we are playing better.
Yeah. Thoughts on the match tomorrow?
You guys just came out swinging. You guys seem so calm cool collected despite I felt like that was a really stressful game
You seem not stressed even even a little bit. I mean they're playing Mundo Rihanna as well
So we need to be careful about that
Yeah, but after the win there. Hey, it's incredibly simple. I got a respect to chao Congrats again on a fantastic Mundo game
Before we go to the break remember shifters KCB stakes are sky high for shifters who need to both wins this weekend to get the best
Odds to qualify for playoffs so stay tuned after the break for that

Welcome back to the LEC ahead of us.
Welcome back to the LEC ahead of our second game of the day,
Schifters vs KCB.
But before we get into the action, I have a special guest with me,
Cosmic, AD Carry, for Vitality, rising bees.
How are you doing?
Really good, really good, thank you.
Well, first time for you in the LEC studio,
so I want to know, you've been watching the LEC obviously,
what did you think about the split so far?
LEC vs having invited teams and also the craziness that we had.
I think a lot of upsets, it was really nice to watch.
I'm happy that, for example, Los Ratones could pull up nice games.
And until the very end, we will not be sure who will be qualified on that, so that's really nice.
That's really what we love the most, especially coming on to those final days of regular season.
You're also here today to cheer for Prime, the Rakan to your Xayah, if I may.
So what did you think about his development in the LEC and what made him so good?
Because he is one of the players we have our eyes on right now.
I think despite the results of the team, he put a lot of efforts in the task.
He's really motivated, and I'm really proud of him.
I think he has his chance in LEC in a real world star, let's say,
since they were invited.
And I just look forward to see what he can achieve.
And I know he has a high ceiling,
so I'm just so happy to be here and look at him today.
Definitely the beginning of the journey for him today.
Cosmic Merci beaucoup.
Thank you so much.
KCB, no stakes in their game today,
but maybe playing spoilers against shifters.
Thank you very much, Loewe, great to hear from you.
There are a few stakes in this game, not for KCB, but for shifters.
If with Harrisx win, shifters need to win here or they will be eliminated from playoff
contention.
Yeah, stakes are high.
Stakes are very, very high for the shifters.
I think they really want to make it.
I think we've seen very varying performances from this shifters lineup.
Yes.
I'm still optimistic towards a lot of the parts.
I really enjoy Nuke, Trimby and Rooster, especially I think they are stepping up
so much.
and I really enjoy it. You can kind of see Trim's impact on this team.
The fact that he's bringing so much cohesion on the map,
and I feel like Nuke, laning wise, is exceptional in the mid-lane,
together with Rooster, so having a really good lane phase.
So my eyes are to run as an Yukino to make things happen here for KCB,
because he has been my standout player for KCB,
and I think he's such a fun player to watch.
And I want to see them give him something a little bit more spicy,
give him something with agency.
I want to see Yukino just do his thing.
Okay, so where we look at it is that Kianna is in Atrox.
I would love these, I'm going to call them the Relish style champs.
Yeah, yeah.
We like the Fury, the Atrox, stuff like this that villages can pop up in these skirmishes.
I know that Yukino historically is more of a fight, engage her with her bike, also
like, I think it's a scornier game as well, he's definitely playing many different
things and we'll see where we go.
We do see the bread, the butter, the classic Asir first pick, very tried and true in this region.
Yeah, no one will surprise us that Nuka as well loves the Azir, really good on it.
So with the Jarvan Pantheon and Rumblebound away by Shifters and Casio, the Varys and the Nikobound away by KCB.
It is the Taliyah first lock into that Azir and then most likely a Vi here.
Yeah, gonna be locked in as well.
Scythe McShelf and the Seasent assist combination is just very powerful.
Right, and true many many times very simple execution like this for KCB, big a lot of
responsibility on the smile bros in the mid jungler that's what I can call them you can know
and Camille always with a big smile on their face love to see that now with a lot of ages in the
game and a lot of scarner hovers and one of these champions is kind of sneaking back into the
meta a little bit was really prevalent last year haven't seen that much this year but here it
will be a lock-in for Bucada. Giving a serial kind of a tanky frontline beefy boy that he can stand
behind is something that he really enjoys and with all that gank setup around mid with those
shuffles with those scarner angles will be a lot of plays that are possible to mid.
Yeah it's just so strong when you have the impale alongside the
emperors divide. People get divided back into you, you impale them, you yank them out,
or you yank them back and then they get emperors divided afterwards. Bucada the
One of the only players, I think the only player to play Viscana so far in the LEC, the split did win on it.
So perhaps just something that we would see shifters deciding they want a little bit more comfort overall.
And now with the Kaisa locked in, like ACV they've already sort of gone,
okay we want to dive comfort, we want to go in, and then there's the Yonara on the side of ship.
Alan, this is giving 20-25 fanatic, when they drop the Vi, Talia, Kaisa, 1, 2, 3, every single game.
We talk about this a lot of time with these teams that are struggling on the lower side of the rankings.
Simplify, simplify, simplify. And it can't get much more simple than this.
Viope the guy, Kaisle the same guy, Shuffle him with a little Taliyah shot and kill him.
It's very simple, really like what they're going for here.
Taking out the Bard already makes me think they might want to look for something a little bit more cheeky in the bot lane as a blind pick.
Because you set up with this Bard ban and would it be a Rakan who would work well with this?
It can also be Bard negates dive. If you dive in and then Bard uses tempered fate, it's like, okay, well, cool.
I guess we're just all standing on top of it after using all of our cooldowns.
On the other side, as you say, like a rail can work well if the Bard can stop that.
Rakan as well can be pretty nice if you are looking for that follow-up engage
and Bard can be frustrating to play into as Rakan because you lose out in the lane
because it just has the range of Vantage on you.
And then whenever you battle dance to a teammate, if the Bard is really good and well positioned,
well positioned. You can just call me finding you as you land on your teammate and then you're both stuck.
And yeah, I mean, it's exciting to say now. Right now, I think a lot of eyes are on that
Ambesa for me. I think with the Renekton being out, with the Xanthiming out, I think both teams
really would like to secure the Ambesa. It really works well with the K-Speak comps. Also,
a champion I think Vucer excels on and it's really good in these skirmish heavy play styles
we have seen. I really like with the tank jungle to kind of set up that pick as well. So
Will the Hovered by Hazel, but not Locked in just yet?
He will not talk about Hovered.
You talked a little bit about how you can always be able to stand out and play at the KCB.
I think Hazel and Prime have also had some really good moments in the limelight.
Prime's Nautilus especially has been really solid.
You can see the band coming out from shifters.
I do expect, as the Rakan locked in for KCB,
so we talked a little bit about how he's really good at the dive.
It does struggle a bit into things like the Poppy,
but a good Rakan can play around that because Poppy can negate,
say one or two dashes at most, a good Rakan when you've got a cease and desist, a killer
instinct, and you've got the seismic shove coming out, can just navigate around that.
Yeah, I mean the fun thing about Poppy is that you think Poppy is good against a lot
of dash champions, but the thing with Poppy that she's good against is one really prevalent
dash character that you can just shut down fully.
When there's a lot of dashes going around, suddenly Poppy's game plan is not quite
as simple anymore because there's so many things she needs to pay attention to,
and as you say, a good Rakan together with a Vi and a Kai, so there's a lot
lot of things she has to pay attention to if you can't really block all of those dashes.
Here we see the ambassador lock in here for Rooster.
Will be the blind pick which was implied with that running down ban.
And I wonder where Cao takes it?
Because in turn, you can't fleet pick whatever you want.
If you talk about stakes, they've never been higher.
Cao's on a plane.
Cao's on a plane.
Stakes have never been higher.
Yep.
Jimmy will lock in the Alistar.
There's the Aatrox.
The Aatrox.
Something we've seen Cao playing out a few times.
This split.
He's had some good performances on it, he's yet to pick up a win on it.
Yeah, and he's been playing with Ignite, Atrox quite a bit as well.
He really likes to go for that skirmish heavy lane play style.
Atrox into the ambassador is a tricky matchup, because as you know,
Atrox has a lot of sweet spots in his skill shots.
And Ambassador, many dashes.
So the way you play this matchup rage is to scan that you let the ambassador go,
and you make her use all her dashes, and then, as she's exiting,
you go for a mega trade where you just land all your sweet spots
and kind of negate that entire trade by Ambassador.
So it's a big of a cat and mouse game kind of who goes first if the age of the dash is in some the ambassador can punish if the
Ambassador dashes in the now a trick and punish
So it's a really cool match up
It's also if the ambassador uses all of the dashes because you could dash in just trade with you and then dash out is like
Well, you still have another dash after that
So how can the age of straight back into that pattern is he then trying to follow you up?
Yeah, and his cue to interrupt your dashes. It's all about timing, right?
Just the ambassador dashes are usually pretty telegraphed. They have a little bit of a wind up
So if Asia is going to actually block that dash with the knock-up from the Q, it will cancel that,
and Ambessa will be super super super sad about the trade.
That's for loading, um, in.
That we are.
KCB still already out of playoffs, still playing for pride, playing for pride, for pride, for the sake of their names as well as players.
Like they've had some really good performances here in the early C, but struggled to get to the level of the other early C teams.
I think as expected, going into the split.
The shifters on the other hand
It's hard not to say it's been a downgrade from previous years because BDS
Although last year didn't have as much dominance in the top previous years
You know they were looking at like the fourth even the third best team in the LEC and now shifters sitting at three and six
Have to win this game to stay in the running for playoffs
They don't even guarantee playoffs if they win this game
It's been a bit of a struggle for them so far in 2026
Yeah, I'm free on Italy 113 my goals, okay
Yes
It has to say like I think shifters as a lot of eyes on them right now
They really want to make sure they can kind of join that last play of spot and I win today is very crucial and
Really put a lot of eyes on the trim now on this Alistar together with the car that we need to see them work together
They have that you know, that has been so so so strong in our league
It's just super no chance to play against you. It is actually gonna do everything
She really can it's actually the first time we've seen how to bring it out
on the LEC stage. He's quite a slow with different champions, but you know, often banned or picked up on the other side.
So hard to make sure that you lock in that pick. Hazel in prime, positioning in the second bush here.
It's hard for Trimby to trade back in. He's only level one as an Alistair. You've got the headbutt,
and he'll use it there to try and deny a minion or two, but it doesn't actually manage to keep
anything. Oh, and one was missed by Hazel, but that was more Hazel missing the auto attack than
an actual denial from Trimby.
I think it's nice when you play Rakan, because I imagine when you play Rakan, you're getting pushed in all the time.
Yeah, 90% of the time you lose and then into an Alistair you can win because you walk up in your first Q and you're like cool, I'll kill you.
Make a bomb if you're lucky, but even that is a little bit sketchy sometimes, so it's quite nice.
Because I feel like Rakan is such a strong scaling support, he just does so much in these skirmishes in those teamfights.
It's usually in that laning phase, he kind of struggles a little bit, but Alistair kind of mirrors that exact persona, so it's interesting to see how they both utilize these champions of similar strength.
Yeah, I think it's always really interesting playing in recline into a lane like this because you can look for pressure on the Alistar and level 1 you get it, but after that you're always scourcing this line of, if I W forward, does the Alistar flash Q me, knock me under tower?
And especially at level 2 it's like, well I can't do that because I don't have my E, I don't have my battle dance, I can't get back to the safety of my AD carry.
So you're always scourting this line of, I want to be aggressive but also just winning the lane is kind of okay, we don't have to dominate the lane.
lane. I remember when I played with Mickey, he was really good at the Alice on this matchup.
He'd always cancelled the Recall W. Yeah, I didn't realize how he did it because it
felt like he always had the upper hand. And I feel like it's a really, really skill-intense
matchup in the support, which is really fun to watch.
Lukada has finished his first full clear now, and we'll look for this little crab to do.
Yeah, it looks like you can know just deciding he doesn't want to play on the side of the
map right now. It goes up towards the top crab, and so there will be an exchange of
scuttles. But very quickly, because I love Recall, and we'll talk about it, right?
Something you do as a tanker in this sort of matchup is instead of going for the W immediately under the opponents, you're trying to get them just on the edge, right?
And then the Alistar headbutt pulverize or just the pulverize doesn't actually get a knock-off onto you.
And there we go, flash forward from Prime from Trimby looking for the trade here on to Prime and Hazel.
Bucada coming across the wall, gets a suppression on to Prime. Hazel's gonna flash away, battle done, but Hazel has no more tools in his arsenal to escape this.
Trimby tanking the tower, Prime will be able to walk away, burst blood over the shifters.
And it's overzealousness here from the KSB Bot lane.
You didn't have your jungler on your bot side.
You need to respect the scarner behind ganks.
You can always dodge your wards.
Those wards are fake information.
You cannot rely on that to protect you.
Bucada loops around really nice after the crab
and gets a really nice gank off here
onto the KSB Bot lane.
And even though Pidok didn't pick up the kill,
he is able to get a small gold lead.
Bucada now 400 gold ahead if you can up
because of that first.
But Hazel will get back here to catch some of this wave.
And after having the lead in the early game,
that we really disappointed with the fact that they burnt the flash out of Hazel burnt the heal out of prime and
Only actually the flash heal invested by Trimby to get on them
So product still has his summoners to escape any further place Bucada here alongside Trimby smite out from Yukina
Bucada looking for the edge of himself will get the stun into the wall
There's a follow-up and now you can know has to flash with a flash for the newce will stop him
Getting the bulk breaker away newce will be gifted the killer and shifted the two are up
Just look at Trimby man. Look how aware he is of the game state. He realizes that now the only play that KCB can make is probably invade our Raptors.
Instant debases, opens up there. Defense, not the Raptors, but at least gets the trade kill back onto Yukino.
Really highlighting why we are talking about this game so much. Really, really nice awareness. You don't see a lot of supports at that presence of mind to open two of the Raptor pits right there.
Just smart in his synergy with the jungler as well.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bacarda was calling hay, he might invade.
And then Trimby comes out and we look for the play.
Also means that even though Nuke has burnt his flash,
Yuke no doesn't have a flash of his own to really punish that mid lane.
The shifting sands out from Nuke should be enough to get him to safety.
Although it will be tricky because Camille always has that unraveled earth.
Paduck and Trimby do have the advantage now down towards this bottom side.
And Aislin Prime not really able to do too much in the 2v2 anymore.
Bucada has been everywhere on the map once again looking towards this bottom side and they're really putting in like a high
Temple right now. They're really paying really fast
It's making sure that any time Padaq and Trimby can look for a play Bucada is hovering around
They really want to start his dragon air make sure the bottom of push
They went on over crime
We was welcoming out Bucada
We'll be able to just dance his way across the wall. I think Trimby not using his spells there is good
You know the initial knock up
He's gonna cause a little bit of a fine flashes. They thought the sliding shop was gonna hit, but no grand entrance from prime means that
You can escape that. Oh, yes
Do the big walk of shame back to me to walk all the way around because you can't take a coffee positioning
Actually, it's just basing and dropping an entire wave really feels badly
You should move like that and you don't really get anything you see all these minions die under your tower and you realize the enemy team
just smiling
In your face
It's also one of those really tricky ones when you're playing I like the Tilly or the Rakan because the size
comes out and prime could grand entrance in look for the W but if that lands at the same time as the seismic
They're just going straight up. They're not actually going back towards your team at all
Which is what you want because you want them coming back over the end round
Might be why prime held his W there. Maybe it was just not quite off-court down. Yep as well
I can appreciate the support of this commits though. Oh, he saw his midlaner throw off his summer sloth or spells
I just assumed they would hit so respect the grind here
see a little bit of training in the bottom of the wave. We'll probably get stuck here. I think he will be W that's maybe out.
That's just that thought. There it is back in the sound range, but it'll be fine. In the end it will slowly work its way back towards the KCB side.
As you can see Camille is still with the push in mid. But just to remind everyone of the stakes of the game, obviously for KCB they are already out of playoffs sitting down at 1 and 8, but for shifters they have to win if they are going to stay in playoffs contention.
their fans would be very happy with the start they've had so far and got good scaling on their side and have this
1.3k gold lead. Drake is up, but neither team has really played around the Drake too much so far. In 30 seconds
we'll also have the Grubbs coming up.
Look at Shifterz here. Bucada and Trimby just syncing up here together to try to make sure that there's no way
that KCB gets this dragon because Vi is also going down here to make sure to get all their cams.
But Bucada and Trimby is here just in case she was trying to go for the little sneaky dragon.
They can come there and stop it because if you start a dragon sometimes it's a little too far to go for the fight
Because you're so preoccupied being hit by the dragon and sometimes the formation kind of falls apart your sport is there
Your ad carries on the boat where it becomes awkward. So now it's like
We're just gonna base never mind. We're not gonna anything really gonna happen
I think they were just trying to protect Bucada in the jungle as well. Make sure that you get through his
Rotation of camps. I'm gonna sweep out some of the vision as well shift this from their blue side jungle
So there's still a ward that's gonna spot his tower and rooster trade towards the topside
while they end up out by tower.
It means that rooster won't go for any further play.
Really nice by rooster because the way you want to play this match with the MvS is that
you cannot all in atrox when he has ult up.
Just because of how much free stats he gets there.
So what does he do?
He trades his ult for the atrox ult and suddenly he is now way stronger than the
atrox because no one has ult, he's winning.
And here's Drake secured here.
As you see, they jump in by Prime.
I'm just gonna battle dance away, but the Doc is on the chase.
I'm sending himself, but won't be able to get enough damage on finally dances away.
We can't just still use the Impale in that place.
He's in the Describers' World, though. Go in, Timby with a good flash,
Hazel diving in with a good anything as well.
You can have so low, though, already chunked out.
The Infant Divider's well onto Camilla with three kills!
Over the shifters, KCB, Torthade found a pick, but...
Not the rock.
Not the rock in the back.
He's gonna land another one.
Not the rock!
Headbutt Pogra is Hazel. He's gonna try and escape underneath this tower, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Piduck gets it. Now's 3-0 on this Yunara.
Alright, it's a tough one. That's a rewatched play here for K2P. They really committed. They're drafting the outcome, but look at Clown's HP.
He can't see the follow-up. This is too far away. Can't see the connector CC.
Hintzle jumps in there, but now they just committed too far.
He took Vederly into the jungle of shifters, and it's just way too easy for shifters to clean this up.
because they have this here, they have Yunara, they are not under immediate pressure, they are just doing way more damage than KCB.
That's why when you play a draft dive comp you need to dive the carries, you can't dive their tanks.
Yeah, when you're going on two tanks it's like...
Really, really good, good job boys.
That was really good, and was really good overall.
Yet you can't go on the tanks, man, they're two tanky at this point.
Art's still complete already on Bucada.
Trimby not even yet level 6, but the Invigor will be coming out for him shortly.
Season's assist from the vault breaker in fact from Yukino manages to geometry his way away, but
I don't think any theorem of Pythagoras otherwise will be able to save at shifters from KCB from this sort of situation
Again, we see the public execution out from rooster
Just trying to force tau low here so that you can't come across from a grob fight
Yeah, and he wanted to bait tau's ulti, but tau really well patiently holding his ulti
And now suddenly tau could look for a little all in here in a bit
I think it's a little bit scared just because now he knows what's going on just look the grubs
It's a little bit hard for him to look from extended fighter
But I'm as productive going in on the case will trust get a big chunk here. There's a cow here coming
Hey, so no barrier does get chewed by the battle to the trimby so takes the kill underneath the tower
I'm breaking a wall coming out from him as well will keep himself healthy enough and damage reduction working out wonders for the
Shifters support and this the stakes are sky-high right now trim because he had even more space here looking for these grubs
because I think we can have to give them primedix to get a recall here if the pilot dives in.
Looking for crooks.
Empire coming out.
You can go with a good short dash there.
He's practicing his smash skills to escape that.
But still, shifters get the turret plates.
They deny more minions away from Hazel.
And it's almost a 2,000 goldy.
I mean, there's a bleeding wound right now.
And I think in case if you are struggling to close it,
they're just bleeding gold on every lane.
Whenever shifters go bot lane here,
it seems like they're always getting something.
Bucada shouldn't be just so active and so measured with their windows here
And it feels like case to be you need to look for something practical here because you're just bleeding gold every single second that passes
But where do you find something proactive?
Like top lane rooster is gonna be hard to dive because he's got a flash
He's got the public execution got enough dashes nuke has shifting sands no flash on him right now
But also has the embers divide bot lane you're gonna try and kill a cow in the massively fed
That's gonna be very tricky and this is how that's why a serious such a strong midlaner compared to something like an Orianna or a
Rise he is just so safe. These are case if he's only Avenue is to attack this is here
But it's so difficult. It's clearing the way from so far away always has a sand soldier to dash back on to
On my breath, it's just a little pull of rice on the ground. We don't want this banana bush
It's gonna have control of it for now
You can know looking for Jimby without them breakable will he is a much squishier target, but
but still hardy enough to not be jumped on.
The next rake up in a minute's time here,
Shifters wanna play for it, and they might as well.
They're so far ahead, first item completed,
Nash is to the clips, Heartsteel,
Lock it complete already as well.
Like a Lock it before, Camilla
even has a first item is such a lead.
It's such a hard watch, seeing new,
shun Camilla down to 1% HP almost,
while almost hugging his tower,
it's just so difficult right now for KCB.
I think you need to look for something now,
probably on the solar lane with a little cheeky by-gank.
I think you can always the only one with the initiative right now
because bot lane, nothing is happening.
Mid lane, you're just getting pushed in and towel.
You are just trading evenly right now with the ambassador.
And ambassador has a clip, it's not easy right now
for KCB.
It feels a little bit like a fake pressure around an objective
with your jungler somewhere else, look for a gank, right?
So what you can do is around this next straight,
get a little revision in the bot side river
and then Prime and Camille and Hazel can sort of
put their heads close, but not too far.
And then you can go top and gank the embassies.
Yeah, I mean, they just need to get the flash out from someone.
Like, they need to get a flash out so they can actually re-gank that lane.
Have somewhere where they have greks that now shifters need to respond to
or play safe in that part of the map.
Because right now, shifters are just playing up from every single lane.
Everyone has flashed, everyone knows they're safe if they're being ganked.
And it's just so difficult as prime.
Nice to get out here.
It should be able to get out. He still has Camille.
Shifters will use the fact they pushed Camilo back in that bot side to take their second drake of the game looking for that
24-minute soul if they continue at this pace in KCP. I mean, they're just trying to get gold wherever they can
There's not really many avenues for them
In case of these are sitting here in the chair watching them take this dragon just looking at them doing it
And it's feels like they don't really they're not trying to cross now
They're just trying to get far back onto Yukino trying to get some avenue of gold
There's different, Camille will be the flash out and will be some more pace on T'Nook
I mean, Camille's a card step now, right? Like, you've got an Alistair coming in from the side
Even if you have support of Yukon over, Tau is traded on here by Rooster, who dashes out of the infernal chains
Tau also losing the top lane matchup, as Yukon goes in with a Vault Breaker
On to Bucada here, he does still have his flash, and another Vault Breaker in
Trimby's dive across the wall, Ishtal's impact gets a stun, season assist
With the quickness won't be enough, Bucada! Again!
Don't go on the tank! You've got to find a squishy target
Camille were able to weave his way away, but no amount of crochet will save the day for them.
They can't knit up a solution to the shit just problem.
Yeah, I mean there's just no damage right now in the case of the E.C.O.M.
They don't have enough damage. Camille doesn't even have one full item completed
and it gets it now, but the Kaisa can't dive in there as well.
Usually you want to go there and then Kaisa will come in from the side
and they will try to nuke down even this corner, could be under threat but...
Look, this is so tanky, they don't have to base that.
Even contestant shifters in a show like this, I think he goes in there, but what is she supposed to do?
She's gonna die as well. Even if she kills the Scarlet, that's not a good trade.
And they just have to concede objectives, after objectives, after objectives, and really, really, really nice dictation of this pace by shifters.
They're just choking KCB out, minute by minute.
Yeah, really well played so far by shifters, and argue, like, the caliber of opposition, but this is what you've got to do.
When you're playing up against a team and you need the wins, you just choke them out of everything.
deny them their jungle get these sort of superficial wards into the enemy jungle
make sure you can spot people who are looking for these flank players and then
just keep doing this on repeat. You have the Rift Herald up you can now see
Trimby he's on the top side of the map tell us the please he's gonna put some
wards down there make sure that Rooster can push out we might even see a
switch towards the top side from shifters to make sure that wave is
pushed out before you go towards the Rift Herald.
Nothing I hate about it's superficial shallow wards there.
That's crazy, but I've tried to get the push out of the wave.
Why do you hate superficial wards, man?
They're good, they swap!
You put a ward behind the dragon and you swap people?
I'm shallow, I don't stand for it.
I did not agree.
Hegrity, the superficial wards.
So Duncan is pushing midway between me
and Falk constantly sweeping every little inch of vision
that KCB tries to put down
and now it's very difficult
because suddenly shifters can just push
every single wave without having people walk up on it.
I do like this muke now,
covering for a possible fight, but also looking for a play.
The problem is, Rooster just cleared out vision down
towards that topside river.
And because of that, you don't actually
know if shifters are coming up.
You don't know if there's one player there
or if there are four players there.
As Rooster and Talbot trade again,
bot break her out.
Public execution doesn't hit anyone.
World ender from Talbot.
Rooster still has the flash.
And again, shifters begin to move up through the river.
And because there's no vision there,
for KCB, they have to back away from the play.
As you can, it doesn't want to commit to see
some assists there.
He really just tries to get a little chunk, so maybe I can contest this Rift Herald now coming up, but
he will have a push here from the Atroc. The Atroc's without folds.
Not really a big threat right now. He just walks up and misses a few chews,
but they will start off this Herald, but I don't think he can take this.
You've got a base, and try to re-enter your side, both sides, because
Assyria's pushing out here, Stp, he'll just come here and take over whenever he wants to.
Yeah, Ruse is going to TP back up towards the topside, and it looks like Nuke is going to be
relegated down towards the bottom lane again, pushing into Camilo with that massive percentage HP shield on Brewster.
Town knows he can't trade any further, has to back away, but there's no wave there, so he can reset and then TP back up towards this top lane to defend the tower.
Yeah, but I really struggled to see case to be taking a winning fight around the Herald without that Atrox ult.
I think that is your only hope right now. Having that Atrox pop off with all that VAT, with all the Throne as AD,
without that ult he kind of falls short a little bit on the base stat, so I will imagine that unless they can stall
to come back up. Yeah, maybe they can, but also they're looking to overload that
top side of the map. Camilla was abandoned bot lane and shifters will know this.
They've seen that no one's been on that way for a while. They were looking for a Weaver's wall flank,
knowing the public execution down. Rooster maybe could have been caught out, but he backs away.
You can know Camilla will use the time to start up the Rift Tower, but again,
shifters immediately move up there themselves and you can know, like, he's trying to get something started.
In case you're trying to get something started, there's the Weaver's wall out.
Shindu with a knockback on surprise, who goes in with a quickness that immediately is slammed against the wall, good side makes Shubb,
produced shielded up though, and with the dive in from Yukina with that season to assist, he's underneath the tower for way too long.
Impair out from Bukate, it's flashed away from, Luke goes in with the Empress, the fight doesn't connect,
Scythe will shove onto him, means that he might fall! KTB, get that first of the game!
I thought the dive was on diving, but then Luke died there, just with the serial there, and really nice for KTB,
small solos being able to pick up that shutdown onto this year being able to get a little bit of
gold back also probably getting this rift herald was a bit of a sketchy attempt but they ended up
coming out on top so i think they're really happy with that exchange super sketchy all around
you can know we're so deep but as you say nuke went a little bit too greedy with the emphasis
i didn't connect i was also a prime lint it feels like he went there and back again
by dupo baggins right now he goes in here onto product with the flash gets his W cancelled
Because out, thanks to Camilo.
And here it looks like it's a really bad fight for KCP.
And now, Gucchi gets a little bit too overconfident.
Goes in, misses the ult, but it is what it is.
It happens.
Was it flashed away by Hazel?
I think it was.
Oh, it's side stepped, OK.
I just see that Hazel's flash is down there, but it could have been flashed.
Maybe I couldn't quite see exactly if he used it earlier to do it.
Someone's had to think maybe it wasn't Hazel, yeah?
Yeah, it was probably Prime then.
I'm probably side stepped.
So that was this flash early one.
Rift held.
That's a roundabout route.
That's your own tower, Camilla.
Hmm.
Yes, mate.
So what probably happened was the Ritter went down.
Camilla was like, oh, we can charge him to the tower.
And then all the kisses were there.
Yeah, he went to the wrong tower, man.
Like...
Uh, yeah.
Actually, one thing that is under it,
is how much that Ritter is exping.
I remember when I was at Hansama,
he was always like, OK, leave the Ritter.
I want to store the exp.
You can get him off Wukong clones as well, you can get XP off that, you can level to 6, I think it happened in a world like a couple of years ago, someone leveled to 6 off a Wukong clone, nobody was able to turn the fight.
I don't know who I talked to this about, but there's always this chance that maybe Sion passive is bugged, so I always make sure to try to last hit Sion passive in case I get double gold.
I haven't worked out for me yet, but maybe one day it will, I don't know, shifters is shifting their vision down into a mid lane area
That's really original. Yeah, we'll try to get this mid lane tower down at least and this is gonna make the life a little bit more difficult
For KCP, some of you don't have that safety, a bastion of hope at your mid to 100%
No real defense left for them in that mid lane means that their sides are a lot less protected than they previously were
They also managed to pick up their third jake of the game
while we were watching the replays earlier on and we saw Yukino doing the ritual so
shift is a one drake away three minutes away from an ocean soul or
at least a fight around that dragon fit. Do you know what it's called in Rooster does
the short train on a dessa? No? Kikkyo! Poo-Poo! That's it. I mean yes I'll give it to you man. It was close enough. Pretty sure it's not Roosters that go
Cool cool
Pigeons
Cool cool
There are different routes to see them
Oh you do, yeah, I forgot about that
See the vision lines being pushed out
Baron is now spawned
Three dragons in the shifters bank right now
We'll complete that soul point where the next fight will happen
You really want to make sure you're there early right now
If your case be because you're not going to win in a straight up brawl
So you need to rely on a positional advantage
If you need to find something
You need someone to facecheck into a Taliyah shop
From front of the wall
Or like a big chunk from our comp to get kind of HB advantage somewhere because if you just walk in and there's a 5 versus 5
And you're just looking at each other you will never win that fight with this gold deficit that's KCB find themselves
Yeah, you're full item behind in the early carry like 200 bolts the cracking slayer and infinity edge already complete on the dark
Moussa looking for this trade as well goes in with a public execution
Suicada's on the chase Camille already low and Moussa is just there to help clean it up
Flash forward for Moussa to follow Camille's flash as he will pick up the kill
So you can know now behind enemy lines, maybe looking to steal away this Baron, there is some vision in KCB on it,
Shifters will start it up.
KCB, you can know, license to steal, we'll get this little avenue in here, Shifters seems to not be aware of this.
If they haven't done it yet, they could get a little bit of information that could allow them to get into this pit,
and that's all you have right now, you only have this 50-50 chance for KCB to get this Baron.
Prime is trying to get in with the quickness, and you're realizing, hey, we haven't seen the enemy jungler for a while,
make sure he can't get in here.
Shifters do their due diligence and manage to pick up the Baron.
A mid lane tower did fall to Hazel, but unfortunately for Yukina,
he wasn't able to sneak his way in there.
90 seconds on the ocean salt, and Shifters
hell of a sack their mid tower for this.
Also lost some gold to that bot lane turret,
but overall we'll be pretty happy with the exchange.
Yeah, and now he's open up on the map again.
You push out your waves, you go into the dragon,
you get the dragon, so on and then you win the game.
This is the bread and the butter of shifters right now.
Can you stop this SKCP?
I'm not sure.
Maybe just give this soul and try to get some top lane towers,
get some gold back,
because we can kinda come back to an ocean stall
with executioners if you have gold to give executioners.
Who's getting executioners?
Tower and Yukina?
Are you getting an oblivion over on Camus?
It's their summer, Maddy.
I'm gonna worry about it.
I can't afford it, man.
It's got over 2,000 gold in the deck.
I can't afford an executioner.
Don't worry about it.
They're holding the gear to you.
Someone will work it out.
Looks like they want to contest this somehow, though.
You do have all five people there.
And I do think, in case you realize,
as they can't get this, they can't afford it.
At this point, it's prime trying
to sell a locket to get an oblivion.
That's where you're at in terms of healing reduction.
I mean, I guess you could go, like, tower
you could know could get it if they really needed to,
but it just delays them by so much.
Drake up in 14 seconds.
The Baron power playing not too consequential.
It's Trinity flashes forward onto Camilla.
Look at the trample, some will land it, and you're diving in as well as Camilla falls.
And now Gropada's on the front line, and you can know it's gonna have to dash across the wall.
And then we midlaner dead immediately, the call to go towards that drake for Shifters.
I mean, it's great stuff from the Trimby.
Yeah, I mean, I love the napping gauge.
Quickness coming out, season to season there as well, the Inferno chains will track him back,
and you still have the stopwatch producing a dash across the wall.
Dive in from Hazel, and then we'll divide in time, but still Nukro fall,
So now, Tau trying to escape, there are four members of Shifters there.
There's no escape for him. The Drake delayed, but Shifters should be able to just turn their
attention back towards it.
I mean, you have to try something. If you just let them get this dragon and just
let them set up their siege once again, you will not have a chance.
Okay, so if you're trying to find anything they can, Nuke goes a little bit deep, and
I think you have to try to bounce and punish that play by Nuke.
If you don't, you'll just see them taking more and more space here.
He's fine, he will get his red buff at least.
And there goes the salt, secured by shifters.
No baron for them, now it's going to expire on the next wave, but still they got what they
wanted out of that play, now with massive wallets they can start to push down these
lanes.
We'll have another look at this.
Nuke is a little greedy, you can notice a good job of hiding, and then jumps on him
immediately with a follow up.
And he feels comfortable as he has his fun as I was last, and he uses it very,
very well by so much time, and now for us it is untouched.
If you can't speak and die one person, but there's too many threats to divers
Now you don't have enough to use in the tank to kill all of shifters
Not a matter who you go on the rest of the team would clean that fight up afterwards
So nice play by shifters. They're greeted by new but he worked out for him, right?
In the end he was able to get another kill for his team another couple of kills and they
Managed to pick up the soul, which is exactly what they were looking for a
6,000 gold lead for shifters looks like they're gonna play on two lanes top and mid
I don't really want to leave anyone to their own devices down towards bot because they don't have the teleports.
Like if Nuke or Rooster had TP, I'd expect perhaps we'd see a 1-3-1.
For the moment, they are just going to make sure this topside jungle is entirely denied from Yukino and KCB.
Yeah, I mean the only thing you need to do right now, Shepter, is the only thing you need to do in these moments is mine your blanks.
You have one loose condition. If there's a weird blank by like Prime and Yukino together, maybe there's a chance for KCB to take a fight.
In general, when you're winning the game with this car, you really need to be careful that you don't give the enemy team any chance to go on you.
We was all out. No one was really able to catch that. Nuke has shoved back, but no real follow-up from KCB.
It's shifters. We'll take the top lane tier two, and now we'll take their team, or translate their team across towards the mid lane to take the mid tier two as well.
You can have them to dash away, and there's too much long-range damage really from shifters.
Shifters they'll take another tower out of the exchange and now with 90 seconds left before they look towards that baron
I wouldn't be surprised if we see one final wave push resets
Steal away this jungle and then go and try and get that big purple buff. Okay prime
Prime give me the mega flag now. I mean it just choose a bush. How much we're looking man. We're looking like
Maybe into here. Yeah, but you should have to predict where the next people switch next
Give you a zoom.
Give me a zoom please.
It will probably be here because they will most likely try to seech this wave down and
that is where you have to hide.
You really think?
You don't think they're going to go full of the baron now?
Like I think you just go, okay I was going to draw as well but you can just clear it
away.
I just get it away.
If it's me right, I think you go in here, you push through top, you leave this because
this is neutral anyway, you get vision along this line and then you play for the baron
right?
So you can do anything right now.
You're absolutely right Medic.
You can just seech wherever you want.
probably topside makes a little bit of a sense to you to the Baron. I thought they were on the topside, so they would be open on the other side.
But, you know, you can make it easy for yourself. Just choose one side to play on over and over again.
And here they will just push in top. They will probably not siege, but the Baron will be started in...
...that few six seconds.
Yeah, I think it's just denial of vision, right? You try to deny as much as you can.
It looks like town might be parting for a flank in the mid lane.
Mid lane by obviously still really important when you're even if you have a lead like this.
So, I like it from KCB. Push through mid, make sure that this wave is moving up and crashing towards the shift.
decide they didn't have to deal with it, but no one's dealing with Brewster and he's just pushing through Bot.
He'll spot this Rakan working his way across through that blue buff area on the ward well placed.
Not too much deep vision control right now for ship. Just that single ward.
Ishtar's impact, look at that. You can know who just dashes across, skill.
KCP pushed back a little bit further on the map. They have a couple of wards around.
One in that top lane pixel bush and a couple around their blue and the mid lane. Some discs down,
Shifters now turn their attention towards the scuttle crab which should be able to get them that vision control. They so desperately desire
No, no
Okay, no, sadly not executioners on paddock
Yeah, you also have a zony it's a secret on God so skipping in is on us. Yeah, mini zone. It's not going for the full
Mortar reminder instead saying well if they dive on me
I do need to be able to survive the Baron begun by shifters and no real contest from Casey
And now, come on Prime, show me the plank.
Shoot the bush, shoot the bush.
And it's spend bush time, isn't it?
Yes, it's spent. I mean, I don't know who invented this.
Just find the bush to plank in.
I can think of so many players for that.
Oh, there's great players who have done it.
We just all remember Sven, because as an Alistair,
he stood there for two minutes and did nothing.
So, there are great bushes to plank in.
The issue is, how do you get there?
With the Baron up and with Ocean Soul,
four shifters, they can just push in.
TP coming out, Nuke immediately flashes, season assist in, the killer instinct as well, Nuke does have that Top-Lish which does not have a chance to use it.
They find the bush and all it took was Nuke's E feeding into the mid lane with no defense, Bucardo locked up under the tower!
Ah, Nuke, that was a bit of a moment!
What a beautiful bush find by KCB finally!
Finding the bush, Denita, the bush, bush, bush pack into this game, where KCB tries to get the most rate of the run.
Yeah, Rime has to dodge away. You can go back in with the Vault Breakers, try and keep the support alive.
Trimby flashed in. Tao does have a flank.
World Ender in. Unbreakable Wall coming out from Trimby, but now it times out.
You can observe him back in. Rooster jumps onto Hazel on the back line.
Tao trying to get onto Piduck, who does have the damage to keep him away for now.
Still looking for Q3. Piduck able to dodge away. Tao though still alive.
Somehow Rooster will take one with him.
What?
He'll take two!
Oh
Every see the bush here being found there by prime finally new keepers in but he's completely alone
And now finally the dive comps face its new dividends finally works out as a great people fall separate
But up from the front line and the ashes managed to see the fight off and I'm really surprised the shifters fell
because of auto and confidence to go from 3v5 play almost
Looks like it would work out, but I think my top was just a little bit
a little bit short of damage here, almost gets it.
So, Arduza does a great job of just distracting that backline.
Well, Tau is trying to take out for the up, can't quite get it.
The elder begun by Shift is fine, as well as Camille is there as well, but he is going to get clicked.
And now the question is who can steal no smite on Prime?
Doesn't have that with the Unsealed Spellbook.
Yeah, Elder Drake secured for Shift, there's now KCB have to back away.
If you were shifters though, there were flashbacks in your mind.
You lost to Tion X, you lost to Lost Ratones with massive leads twice so far
across the nine games you've played with the Elder though.
With Baron remaining for another wave, a TP coming in for Moosa.
Hands up, public execution prime there as well.
Dodges away from the charm, but with the best of shift.
Why don't they do damage by the way?
He's got Deathsance, man, and more.
Deathsance's the most broken damage reduction item in the game.
I don't know whose dancing feature is, I want to get the same one. Like what?
He just got hit by everything that KCB had and it's like 1% of his health?
I think a really nice public execution to avoid the quickness charm.
It's got him out of a very sticky situation. Now Shifters can push in.
It's their last wave with Baron buff. That expires in three seconds time.
KCB has shown some signs of life in the end of this game, but it's been
shifted in this place more than anything. You can push out the mid-wave.
Shifter still going in, have 90 seconds left on this elder. Drake, the Impale, out-tow, gonna get shot by the Razor.
Rest of KB here, playing out the wave though.
Next wave still a little bit away, but enough time for shifters on this elder buff to be able to continue to push in.
You know, Shinsoul healing them up as well.
Yeah, you don't have to look at this one as to realize the time is ticking now for KB.
They can make a clash on the left side of the map.
Double knock-up side, big shot, the CC chain is mastered,
but they just don't have the damage.
Prime and Camillou relegated to the fountain.
Shifters will win out the fight,
will take down the Nexus,
and will keep their playoff alive, alive.
It was closer times.
It was closer than Shifters fans would have wanted,
but in the end, they'll take the 50G.
They'll take the win, and KCB will fall to one and nine.
It's just highlights how shifters are so hard to like look at something because you see them doing so many good things
And then to just have these moments where everything kind of falls apart. The name is about the heart rate of their fans
Sometimes it's like sometimes it's like they're always shifting
But I really enjoyed how they played towards the both in this game
Bukata, Padak or Trimby will be your player of the game both now
And I think any one of them would really do because that's where the magic happened last game
Well with this win shift has increased the scenarios in which they lock into playoffs
now qualifying 24% of scenarios but all of these are contingent on a win for them at tomorrow versus
SK. So shifters have to win tomorrow versus SK if they are going to keep themselves in that playoff race.
Up next it's going to be do or die for SK. A loss against a loss return spells elimination.
For the rats though each win brings them closer to qualifying. We'll hear from Cajun and Wunder
After the break, don't you dare go anywhere.
Okay, captain. Guys, I'm first in the river. Any fight is good. Fighting, fighting. Please, they are hitting. Please, please, please.
We were saying they are hitting before the event, like show off the minimap.
I got no hope, man.
We can fight. I'm coming. Maybe he's coming.
Atro space, I can see.
Look first, are we good?
Look right here.
Look right here.
Look right here.
Let's go.
Flash.
One flash.
He's coming.
Flash.
He's coming.
He's here.
Damn, Hendrikas, are you ready for th- Oh, that doesn't look good.
Wait! I have a solution, but...
You have a break. I will be right back. Just wait.
Have a break. Have a Kit Kat.
See? I told you we'd figure it out.
I don't think this counts.
Come on! Let's go!
Hey there! Every season starts the same way.
Everyone wants to win.
But not everyone prepares the same way.
I can't wait to show you what I have in store and trust me this year everyone's leveling up
Wait, is he switching lanes?
I
You
It's now my distinct honor to be joined by former caster slash coaching.
This is weird team.
This is so weird.
Look at how you do it.
We got a guest.
But good news on the cusp of making playoffs didn't happen as a player.
Might happen as a team owner.
So I got to know what's the mood like in the camp.
I'm feeling like as far as a final week schedule goes this day one is kind of your
big do or die moment. It always comes down to last week even when I was a player like I think this is
like my fourth time like you have a chance to make it are you gonna make it so I've been to this a
lot but I think we've ramped up a lot throughout the split this week of scrims went a lot better
and I think that everyone's feeling pretty positive like the vibes are good everyone's like going for
a Hail Mary you know play you know the first week we're like counting out the second and
third week we're like backing it all of a sudden like with a really good chance and now we're
just here to descend it you know. I gotta know you're up against the Mickey X project a lot
A lot of people have different feelings about this.
Leader in the mid lane, you got the double-chain lead.
They should make bingo.
What are they doing?
How are they getting here?
Brother, people were saying the same thing about your team.
Find us.
What's the secret sauce?
How much can you give away here?
Like, how?
What's the focus point?
How do you feel about this SK project?
What can you say without leaking your entire strat
or draft and all that?
Well, we've always been different.
Like, last year, we always picked different.
We always played different.
And so we had to figure out how to make that work
in the LEC.
Obviously it's a lot harder because the players are a lot better so the individual skill level is higher
So we had to close that gap and once you close that gap you can still do it. Heck yeah
So yeah, hopefully we can still pull it off see if there's a gap between you and SK today as we send it back over
The gap is the age gap bro. What are they doing here bro? Kick them out. We're gonna have to beat them tonight to get
I mean, I can't really add anything on top of that. How do we hold our team?
The incredibly useful analyst desk to talk a little bit more about SK
Confidence from the Rat King and that's what we won here!
I mean the thing is though they're up against a tough opponent here in SK, like this is some legends, these are some kings, this is a dynasty legacy.
Wait a minute, it's 20.6, who gives the shit?
This is Los Ratones Stadium baby, it's LEP vs.
That's a lot of confidence considering how up and down both these guys have been over the last few weeks my man.
I'm looking at this loss return squad and I feel like they've come in with a game plan.
The question for me is, can SK do enough to shut that game plan down?
Because right now, the question is already an effective strategy against them.
What else has lost return prepared? I'm excited to see.
And they got nemesis in the mid lane.
I think that's the pillar that they need, the key for this game.
It's been the foundation for this team.
And then you look at leader and those foundations are shaking.
You just ban a few mid-lane champs and leader looks completely homeless.
And that's the difficult situation for SK here because they need a win here.
If they lose today, that's it.
Basta, we need to offer them and we'll see them next split.
Did the Niky X project fail so far?
What do we think of that?
It's only the start of the project.
We've got a long year ahead of us and I'm still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
But so far things are not going to their plan.
There's still a lot yet to be seen.
But I know that a couple players on this roster, I mean,
They have a history of denying people playoff
So we'll see if they can make the magic happen today because they desperately need a win
This is one of our biggest stakes gained of the day and it comes right now
They have to come together
It was Mickey's dream Mickey's product that he assembled you do not want to lose to a streamer team today
And we have wonder actually standing by with Tracos
Thank you very much guys, I am joined by wonder ahead of this crucial match look big day
elimination stakes. Where's your head at? How are you feeling? What are the vibes like in the SK camp?
I mean the vibes are at an all-time high right now because we are an outstanding three-and-six right now and the score is in the leaderboards.
But right now I mean we have two arguably lower tier teams just like us joined with us at the bottom in SK and shifters that we are playing this week.
this week. So I mean we have hope and I think winning one game at a time winning
two games will pretty much not 100% places in playoffs but it's at least we
are gonna have to we're gonna have to put up on our part I guess and making it so
yeah I'm excited I think we'll do great. Nice I'm glad to hear that despite all
the evidence you listed that vibes are at an all-time high a good three
and six is important spot to be. Now from the opposite side from those
I heard a lot of talk of retirement homes. It's gonna be easy. They're gonna smack you. Do you have a rebuttal?
I mean last time we scrimmed Blast Rotonis and then generally in the lead-up they were really really boosted
So I'm happy to see that they have managed to fluke some wins
But they will have to try harder against us because we are coming and we are prepared and
Yeah, I mean, I saw K-Dro was already preparing to play some other games than League of Legends
now that he's going to have a little bit of a, I guess, he's not actually coming back to the LEC after this week.
So yeah, I mean, I just hope that he he'll find some solos and like, yeah,
I'll be a little bit happy doing some other things than League of Legends for a while because
Yeah, otherwise, it will be really boring for him because there's no players for them. No players once again. Fair enough.
So we'll see. Is it Lost for Toneys and Speedrun? Are in play-offs, or is it going to be a Minecraft Speedrun from Kajal?
We'll find out. SK vs. Lost for Toneys, casters, take it away.
Yeah. Interesting to hear Wonder talking about Kajal playing other games because the midnight
release of WoW is coming out soon, so I'm pretty sure. Yeah, but soon. Right, if Wonder has that
time off, he can go full retail, Andy, you know? Doesn't need UI updates anymore, just
gets to play through midnight. Bank and spank, baby.
Just to kill Zalata, you know? Hopefully, we'll see. Anyway, there's League of Legends
happening. Lost with Zones versus SK. SK chose second pick. Lost with Zones chose
red side so we're going to have a little bit of a mismatch draft you won't see the the blue side
oh it will see the blue side no sk blue side yeah you'll see red side with first pick it's a bit
confusing sometimes um lost returns if they lose this game they are not out of playoffs importantly
there are ways they can get back in with just one win across the course of the weekend wondering
about spacing off on the stage giving each other a little shake of the head in times of time with
the scion band coming up i can kind of understand what that's about mundo is well bound away by
SK and Rumble and Vaus taken out by a lost return.
You told me six years ago that I would be seeing Wunder versus the Baus on the LEC stage.
I would call you a crazy person.
I mean it's just the old person.
They just won MSI together.
Even though they just won MSI together, they've gone to Worlds finals together.
Is it really that surprising as Vaus is the first pick.
So SK said, okay, we're not going to give Baus the scion.
the Sion, we're not going to give Velia the Mundo and we're not going to give Crowny the
Caitlyn, first pick by from Lost Resurrects.
Yeah, I want to highlight as well that we saw LR actually choose the red side and it's
something teams have been doing lately due to it's a little bit easier to access the dragon
from red side. And I think something that we've seen these last few weeks with LR especially
is that they're really propelling themselves into playing for these early dragons. I want to
see how they tackle that in drafts because I think if you want to make sure, if you
If you want to play for the dragons, you need to have bot lane push, and you need to have
a somewhat strong skirmishing jungler, so those are my goals right now for LR if you want
to secure a solid draft where they can actually do this thing where they have been successful
along by collecting these dragons.
We'll see you big time again.
Continue to do it.
The Gragas locked in.
It's only replayed once in the LEC.
That was by Baus, at the start of this winning streak, four loss returns.
Korki locked in though.
Crownee has played this three times and they have not won a single game.
While Crownee has been on the Core Pichenshow and the Yunama, locked through SK,
they're looking for their third pick.
Probably going to go towards a top lane, if you want to immediately pick into the Gragas.
Gragas can be flexed to support, although I will say it doesn't really fit the reckless playstyle.
I'm wondering what to do with his rise pick, because I thought Ella would try out a rise quite highly.
We've seen them have so much of sex with it.
I wonder if you're scared of a little answer by Leader as it will be the award-looking for Wunder as a lot of experience in that champion
Orn into the Gragas, really good at notifying all the offensive trades Gragas wants to do
You can counter the body stamp with the bellows breath, kind of negate that and just clap him back on the way out
The glory life, but I wonder, because they don't really want to pick Ryze themselves as scared, right?
Just because how good Nemesis was on that maybe last time
So I really wonder what you'll see with the mid-lane picks here, because I think it's a really cool place to be
Yeah, it's always interesting to think about, right? The Nami fans by SK, I wonder if they could ban the Anivia as well, but if they ban the Anivia, then are we just going to see Loss for some of the different answer into the rise?
Because Lita, although he is known as a physical damage player, like a melee AD carry, AD carry player in the mid lane, not AD carry, he's the AD player in the mid lane.
He made his first name playing, right? He's very comfortable on this champ. He was a Ryze Yonei, too.
No, no, no, no, no.
We rise Yasuo, rise Yasuo.
When I came out when I was young once,
and the leader also was young once,
then we were playing with Charisolofi,
and he was always the rise Yasuo guy.
He was really, really, really good on these two champions,
so you see the silo band being hit there.
I wondered, do you go for the Ryze here
and just give yourself that option,
or do you give last bit to the leader here?
Because now you blind pick the Niko,
which will be really good
at denying this bot lane push.
Obviously we haven't talked about it as well,
but if you have Micky X versus Reckless,
on the support role to play together 2021 on the G2 lineup.
They didn't really make it to Worlds, so...
Yeah, they didn't do too well.
Maybe some hard feelings there.
I think both of them really wants to win this one,
and we'll see what Nemesis goes for,
because they're really, really, really giving him the rise band right now.
They're saying, please, we insist, blind-pick the rise.
I stare at you, too.
I mean, and it's a brave choice, right?
Because Nemesis on this rise only has 50% win rate there.
In every game we've seen him on it,
as soon as he gets the actualizer, he is shredding through teams.
is absolutely melting them. Karma is the answer into the Nico, something we have seen from
Wreckless already this split. I mean, you're just looking for push prior, and the bot lane
Corky Karma should be able to get it in the early game, and you're trying to match
double range into double range, it makes sense. It gives Velia a little bit more impetus
to be able to invade through the bot side if he wants, and there is the right.
There it is. Okay, Leader.
That's how you ask for this.
All eyes are on you, Leader.
What a champion have you prepared. It should be if you most likely...
Where is he going to go into the right?
If it's not AP, that's such an easy army.
If I see the spear orian here, I'm disappointed.
I want something else than those classic control mages.
I wonder where leader, leader, leader will take this one.
What is it gonna be?
Yone?
Milio?
Yone maybe?
Okay.
It's the Yone Lock in and it's kind of fine
because Yone does a lot of magic damage,
Worn does a lot of magic damage,
Niko does a lot of magic damage,
even Yonara does a little bit of magic damage.
I think you're quite fine, opting into more comfort, Joan-born really strong skirmishing
combos together with a setup from that legal populism is dangerous when you're playing
a short-range comp like the Ryze, like the Corki.
Speaking of the Corki, Corki Karma is a very strong lane, but if you make one mistake
with Karma, if you die to a random gank, he gets caught by random tangle barbs, suddenly
all your pressure is gone.
really, really, really, high
execution is demanded by the
LR both later and also
Velja to make sure that they
can play the game as a guest
of the SCP. Well, I feel there's
going to be a lot of pressure
down towards that bottom side.
We have seen both SK and lost
returns actually play a lot
around mid, allowing their
midlaners to get into a position
where they can carry the game,
especially leader Mickey often
moving up towards that mid lane.
But if you do get behind as a
corky farmer, you are in no
So I expect with Ornn and Gragas being the top laners, we're not really going to see too much pressure in the top lane,
both of them just looking to scale up into the later portions of the game.
And that is where Bows played so well the last time we saw him on this Gragas.
He was really far behind. I think 1.5 thousand goals behind in the mid game,
and then came back with finding gank casts, was flashing in, was finding great explosive casts.
He needs to do that again, Velosha turns.
And win here at massive, puts them up to about 80% of scenarios.
to play off the single win.
Two wins. Watch them. They
they're getting through for SK.
They have to win this game. They're
going to stay in that playoff
race. They're going to stay in
contention as we see. Mickey
traded on here by that in a
flame out of reckless all cause
first from Mickey. Little bit
of a flank position and coming
out from schemes on that
shinshaw might be looking to
split the map here. Look at
start the blue buff rise I do not think we'll check it they do not expect this I
think we might be due for a level three or even a level two gank with that Niko
setup I'll most likely he'll be doing one or two camps and then look to walk
around and behind them and at least get a flash I think if you get a flash with
the shimshaw gank you are happy you have a shield with gold maybe you can
get two I make you can flash tango barbs and then you have the follow-up
if wind becomes lightning hits three talon strike for the knockup
Crowny and Wreckless do have the early push that we talked about.
It's known for the full bot side theory.
We'll do the blue, the wolves, and the grunt, because it doesn't really make sense to go for gank now
because Niko doesn't have the snare, so you have to have that setup,
so you really want to make sure that Niko is at least level 2,
so she can hit that E, flash, kangaroo barb snare combo that we are talking so much about.
Small risk of that as well means that Crowny can get to his Valkyrie,
Wreckless can get to his shield, that Inspire makes it a little bit harder to gank them,
two gank them, but it's barrier heel, no climbs on crowny, he is caught out with the flash
tangle barbs, leader of Nemesis trading in the middle, no real surprises there, top lane
not really much happening, they know this is going into the top side here though, I'm
not sure if they're aware of this map, but they have the ward right, so they know that
the blue hasn't been started yet, Velia could just be looking for the traders,
it's not clear if he's going to pass down towards the bottom side, direct us with
an early heel, crowny with the Valkyrie, Wimper comes landing, burns the flash and
that's what SK were looking for.
It's after watching either and is still will not lose anything now because you can just go and clear his bot side and be very
Happy with this thing that he just did because I don't think the orn really cares if he has to play a little bit safe
Look wonders even dropping is also wonder man like the weak side King
Yeah, there before Odo was might look just to see how much really has cleared out of this a couple of things
They're out from schemes really a force away that was that might comes out one against the two small ones
They can chase back in with the bellows breath down. That's no cc immunity for wonder
but his wave is already shoved in.
He's fine just backing away here.
They can TP back up to the lane if he needs to correct the positioning.
Kings come out on that spot site, Scuttlecrab from SK.
Looks like Skeens is going to do the red, then Scuttlecrab, then Razorbeak.
So, I mean, if he knows that he's got the time,
can do the Razorbeak's first to make sure they're coming back onto that jungle cycle.
It's all about this repeat gank now in the bot lane.
If Quirky and Karma can keep pushing and surviving
until they have summoner spells back up, they are in a good spot.
And I think we need to see Vellia soon plant down to defend their bot lane to make sure they're fine because if Vellia isolates them, that Shinsha will go back there.
Niko has flash and Corki does not. It's a really easy gank setup for the escape bot lane.
Vellia actually, sorry, is actually backing before doing that bot side Scuttle Crab, picks himself up a longsword and a Ruby Crystal.
So if a fight does emerge around that bottom side as the Rune Prison comes out,
for Breaker in as well as they chase onto Lida, who does have the flash and will have to burn it, Nemesis on the chase with the Ghost Wunt.
to get close enough for any more damage.
Velia now is underpowered in terms of items but has a mid laner with a lot more health.
Leader catching the wave underneath his mid lane tower and looks like Skeens with the push out of bot
should be able to get this Scuttlecrap.
Well yeah, Leader getting out of there thanks to the exhaust that's got her in for really crucial now.
Velia used his 1 Gangclimber to kind of shut down Leader, but this means he won't have
the flexibility to defend their bot lane.
Why, Lees is Wolves as well.
Yes.
Skeens coming out from Skeens, looking for that trade in.
Goes in with the wind becomes lightning.
Nemesis has to go to mid, because the wave is already there.
We do see Crowny coming out off a reset, but with the wave under his tower,
he's going to lose more if he goes and tries to fight around these walls.
It's really difficult to fight there, but he gets to fight.
My Velia steals it away. Tanklebox does not connect.
Now Ryze has to move. He can actually come down here and see if he can make something happen.
He doesn't have the ult. He doesn't have the ghost.
The skin's going to jump onto him, flash away from Nemesis, realizing...
He was in a precarious spot, and that is a big summoner down.
It's really important that the value is secured, bad wolf.
Yeah.
Now he's not really falling back far behind.
Now it's still about this bot lane bounce though,
because still, no flash on the Korky.
You need to make sure he can farm.
You can't give this Niko a gank setup,
because if you fall behind with Korky Karma,
I cannot re-trade it enough.
It's really, really doomed.
It's gone for the tier first.
Yeah, crown he has, as you want to get that sacking up
to the wolf the man of moon as soon as possible.
Nemesis being traded on by Lito,
who does have the level 6 first,
and forces Nemesis low.
No CP on that Ryze means he is going to lose a couple of these minions. Velia might come across to defend.
It looks like that Ryze is just going to back away. Tanglebub dodged by Crowny.
Focus Resolve from Rekkles will get the route onto Mickey, but the wave shoves in and Joppa very happily picks it up.
See why this Jorn was picked. Lee is so comfortable on the Jorn versus Ryze. It is a tough match up early, but he's up now 400 gold approaching that.
Without a kill of anything.
Yeah, it's because of that move that Nemesis made before, losing his Flash, makes it so hard for him to play against Jorn.
And now when Exhaust is gonna come back up, it's gonna be a really, really scary for Nemesis.
Xelion has smite. It's only 900. 600 in fact.
We'll be able to secure it.
Altbraker's out. Here's the call of the Forge, God.
Leader has his own ultimate. Flash forward. Good explosive cast for the knock-up.
Almost comes out. Bounce with a great body block on it.
Leader unable to get in range for the Fate Seal.
He'll continue to chase onto Belia here, but Belia should be able to keep himself alive with the shield.
Skeens might look for a dive, but it's dangerous, no matter on Bows.
What a play by Bows, what a great shot.
Really fails Veljaal from that cocky invade.
Really nice disengage by him, gets it out and Leith now uses his ult, uses his timer
and now this also allows Nemesis to scale up more safely because he doesn't have to worry about that journaled anymore.
And cuts that gold gap as well with the plate being taken by Nemesis in the mid lane
with minions being lost by Leith in the mid lane.
You can see it's only a 200 gold difference now, whereas a few moments ago it was 300 larger.
Luda can still trade well onto Nemesis, but early game has been really well managed by both teams.
I think Lost Returns have been able to get back into it after falling a little bit behind on the early trades.
Look at this again, mouse plays this so well.
Litae separates the top jungle from...
It's the body slam as well, man.
And the body slam as well on these knock-ups.
It was just beautiful by Baal's.
Gets so much space and gets Velja out of there,
but now Nemesis might be the target here. Mickey's on there. No flash on this rise.
Deans is only level 5. Velia does have that season just this to jump in by Leda for the knockout.
Nemesis trying to get in there as well as a realm warp.
He's through this coming out onto Deans. He's going to have a flashaway healed up by Mickey.
Leda dashes back across the wall with the solo and bounce.
Hangar Bob's going to connect but Mickey will be slowed by Bounce who is sacrificing a lot.
Explosive cast, flashed away by Mickey.
You say what you want about boss Laning, but his mechanics on Draggas are pristine.
Top notch mechanics there. You see it's actually the move by Mikyx being denied by the toplane and jungle of LR
Really nice defense there onto memesis making sure that Shinshaw cannot look around and look for the dive
Bows as well, dropping a toplane just to make sure they're getting out alive there
And now no flash on the Niko, they make life a lot easier for LR as they also pick up this dragon
The first regular game going over to Lost Returns.
Baus on the Gragas, 17 games professionally,
has only lost three of them so far in 82.5% win rate,
as Wunder is going to proxy a couple of waves.
They get himself a bit of a gold lead because Baus has been
moving down towards that mid lane.
But I do want to focus on some of the longevity
of these players and how well they have managed
across the course of their years.
S-Pace, when these players are playing,
they often make playoffs.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of people, I think,
would think that Leda doesn't make playoffs that often.
but two out of four across the course of his career, Mickey has only ever missed one playoffs in 25 splits,
which is kind of absurd. One does only ever miss two.
Yeah, that was a long time ago. I also made playoffs with leaders. I hold him in pretty high regards.
I know the possibilities of this player. I know his potential. He's really, really good when it matters.
Also, Jader gets a little late as well, really cheekily.
But I wonder what Wunder will now do with his moves as we take a look at these playoff rates as well.
Also Nemesis never missed playoffs in that Natic roster. He was such a dominant force
I think he wants to make sure he holds that stat high and a win today is everything for that. It really is, it really is.
Gage role on the other hand, missed a few.
So SK with about a 500 gold lead, 9 minutes into the game. Yopas scaling up on that.
Koso, Koso good on Yonara because you have all of this life suit from the extra autos coming out of your
for the speeders.
Q, yeah, I've got the name of the Q man.
You know how his ability names are just weird.
He's like, can, may, steps, transcend one's self,
something else and something else.
It's an arc of judgement, is the W.
I can't remember the Q.
I'm going to have cultivation of spirit. I got it.
You got it. I got there in the end without even looking it up.
Can you believe it?
You're only in Nignax.
Yes, exactly. But for the moment,
it seems I think we'll be comfortable enough
with how this early game's going.
a little bit of more of a lead in the mid lane.
Leaders roam not quite working out.
The Nemesis the same, wasn't able to get any kills
as he moved down towards the blue buff area earlier on.
My separate wonder, I would say.
I think he, with the Ornate to Greg,
is actually a really good matchup early as,
all that's thought that he did might be in danger here.
Needed to get caught out,
since he's just there for the follow-up,
he's gonna try and get out with a face shield,
does get the shield out of it,
Pepin guards him, he's leading,
jumps back in, and it might be Vanya who's caught!
SK react beautifully and find a kill.
On the loss, returns jungler.
People talk about leader on control matches and they say that he's not that good
But when leader gets his champions, he just executed on it so well
Bouses here explosive gas gets the knockback leader dodging away schemes looking for this as well
Cool the book because they're gonna try and jump with the Nemesis you flash is away
But leader jumps back with his soul realm about by Nemesis
He'll escape this precarious situation wonder still on the chasers and have really the manner to go in with a
volcanic charge but saves his midlaner as Baus was looking. Leader is making a
mongposh right now playing these skirmishers so exceptionally well
managing to get out of these really weird situations with great precision. I
really really really hope we can see that again because I really want to
highlight how well Leader played that exchange because it was beautiful.
It really was. Credit to Baus and Nemesis. Well, Nemesis escaping himself flashing
over the wall, well-morphing out, being able to dodge out. Baus is so
constantly Dean in this mid lane looking for the explosive cast looking to disrupt leaders
Timings on his recalls, but still almost an 800 gold lead for leader in the mid lane after getting that kill bot lane has been
Proudly in reckless favor, but initial flash that was burnt wasn't punished
Mostly because the play has been around the mid line like we talked about in the draft
But because of that Proudly reckless will just get the push
Just look at this. This is the first play of leader just dashing out of range here
spreading the needle and then make sure his dash is not on the cast because if he would take it, if he would run to his tier 2 he would just get hit by that on the way back here
Nicely done by Lidia, really really really nice
Sealor trading on topside here by Wunder
Wunder just blocking the pit on to Vowse, like both of them know they can't really kill the other, like Wunder is just very tanky on the awning
It was passing time right there
Yeah, Vowse is like, okay well I have drunken rage, I'll just heal up, you know I'm good
And a happy hour pass of doing a lot of work
It's across the board, small leads for SK.
Lost returns though have been able to get quite some teams on the bot side, Poundy,
with a gold lead for himself, about 380.
Also has the trunet force power spike right now, which is really big.
Like this is the biggest power discrepancy you will have for Korky for a good amount of time.
And you really want to make sure you can now force a fight around this Korky.
Korky is now your power point presentation that you want to make sure
close exceptionally because he needs to push out now, look to get those power plates,
It's probably 5 rounds of objectives.
Thank you for coming in here.
That's pretty obvious that he is the minion right there.
Nemesis wisely backs away, but with 10 seconds left on the drake,
Nemesis having to back away means that SK can push out his 3,
getting control over this bottom side river.
The Trinity Force and the quest complete now.
The Royal Quest for Crowny.
So Nemesis, not the strongest, has a catalyst and a tier stacking up.
He will become very powerful, but until you get the rod,
And so you get the Seraph, you're not as powerful as you'd like to be.
Looking for the damage onto Nemesis who is rooted up, Poplasm coming out as well.
And again, it's Leader, the set of the play!
And Nemesis that falls foul of his enemy mid.
Yeah, and it's once again SK is just playing around Leader time and time again.
We're talking about the quarter being strong, but look at the mid.
Velia going deep there, Coulombe's force was going to come out as well.
Velia just went so far, board has to flash away, Bausz trying to get him from the flank, but...
Well, yeah, I didn't think he'd go forward with that boat breaker because of him having to burn the flash and get out
Because he's on low HP SK will claim the second great to the game there first
Even out the score with lost returns crowning and it's done down a little bit here by leaving and just jump away the damage
It's a crowny though inspire shield off cool down a little bit too late to really keep that crowny healthy
Yeah, this yarn is becoming a big problem
We're talking about the item gap in the 80 carry department, but the mid one is even bigger the blade for your
Reckless is caught out there, there's no way out for him really, he might look to flash
the wall but lead against him, SK, using the vision they placed around the dragon to then
punish again, you can see what Reckless is thinking, it's like they've taken the dragon
and they'll reset, we had a little fight they'll reset, they'll go back, let me clear out
some vision around this but these fake tempo plays as we call them, the fake reset can
be so powerful in moments like this.
Yeah especially when you play complex by and karma that need to walk together to
You can't let your karma walk in there alone. She will just get picked off by anyone that dares to sneeze at her.
So really, really, really good punisher by SK, but now Lidl wants to play aggressive here.
There's the one with two potential here as well.
Well, break it in to say it's Lidl. Clawed out. Try to jump away.
Niki there in time!
And Lidl once again escapes the clutch of death.
The grub secured for SK.
Niki there just in time to make sure no more advance could come out of lost returns.
He's like Lider just as plot armor, doesn't matter what LR throw against him, he always manages to come out alive somehow with a little bit of close manoeuvring here as now.
Nicky is opening behind here, I think. They will read this play, I don't think they believe that it's Wunder.
I think Vowz wins this. Just gonna slowly walk his way away. Not for here now, but there's a blast going for Vowz.
a little bit Tomfoolerish and shenanigans, you know, we'll do it as leader will get the push on the bot side
No, we'll play materializing there for SK
But with the 2000 gold lead 15 minutes in they are happy as Larry
The rat trap is sprung the rat trap was the there was a rise and now the yon was the cheese that they were preparing for that
And he will just try to get a little bit of play thing here
And it will just be Mickey shadowing leader on these side lanes making sure we can play for the 1v1
1v2, 1v3, potentially with the Wunder keep it backing him up, making sure that they always have a point of pressure in the side mails.
That's going to be hard for the lost recents to answer that pressure, at least in the short time right now.
In 5, 10 minutes they'll have a couple of items on this rise, you can probably deal with it.
You can see he's gone for the upgraded plated steel caps on that rise, trying to get some of that damage.
Chainmailed laces, I think they're called.
called as to the moment Joppa and Niki just really happy to continue getting the pressure
in the mid lane. Now Rift Hold is up, SK are pinging around it, leader looking for the trade
on to Baos, they feel Baos dodges it well with the rocket belt. A short cooldown for
a long one there in favour of loss of turns. Baos does have those fancy feats and you
see now SK just doing the same thing again, they're leaving Runder alone in the bot
side to play weeks side with TP and they're sending everything up there to try to
He's fine for now. He is definitely just chilling as he says.
Yeah, I think it's more just about seeing if you can keep him around, seeing who makes
so that his reset time is not quite where Lost Returns want it to be.
He was picked up by SK. Mickey's still looking here, but Velia's on his way.
He's a dangerous dive. There's the Pop Blossom coming out. Bounce, flashing away from it.
Solemn bound out from Lina. Bounce escapes. Excellent play by Paol.
Such good use of his skills. And he's still so hard to dive.
I always think about these weird Gragas, Dives being Wunder, being the one that's out there in the Dives,
but now it's actually against Wunder, Baus on the Gragas,
Man, it's just to stand proud and stand strong against his own start of SK, didn't he?
That does a good job of surviving through it.
Leader can clear the wave pretty safely with that solo and bounce,
and he did see Crowny picking up a plate in the mid lane, so,
Gold in the top and the bot lane relatively even between the two teams.
The lead really for SK is in jungle and mid,
and that lead has shrunk a little bit over the last while.
down from 2k to 1k in the last couple of minutes.
It's not a huge lead press game at all.
I mean, this lead is very, very...
It begins really, really close
and it's gonna come down to the next dragon fight,
I think it's gonna spawn in one minute roughly.
And you already see dragon is spawning.
We're now putting the yon in the bot side
to make sure we can have Sidelan push
so we have a potential either flank
or a lead just front to back fight
with the yon just hovering in our vision.
Yeah, a couple of good wards here from Lost Retone
so you can see...
Oh, I've totally broken the Telstra.
Oh my goodness!
Okay, in the jungle.
I mean where the red buff is, that's where they are.
For some reason it pops up with a bunch of menus, and I'm not used to doing that.
Couple of deep wards, four bows to teleport onto.
If so required, only one of them still surviving.
Drake up in 30 seconds time.
Rowney?
Rowney!
Shade onto the skins, Vicky flashes away as Nemesis is on the chase there as well.
Skiing needs to get the hand out of here, has to use the Crescent Guard,
but Nemesis is still chasing, and there's the flash out of Skiing's as well.
Two flashes from Rowney!
Well, we'll be in the boat, great job.
Coming out of the skis has no chance to get into the team.
Frownage is taking all the space in the river.
He's going in there.
He knows how strong he is.
He knows how hard he is fighting right now
and just makes sure something is happening.
I love that Frownage is knowing
he is the power right now in the LR comp
and he needs to take more space.
Great job by him, just jumping in there
and securing his dragon for LR.
Yeah, and because it's skis who died,
died you can't even use like a Rift Toad
admit to make sure you're getting a tower and a half or something it will be
Yoppa taking the tower. Wonders should be able to get the top lane turret as well
before Baos can really have anything to say about it. It will take that down as
well. So SK do get a little bit in the trade but the second Drake to LOSRES
is huge. You see what happens when leader is not involved in these fights.
SK really needs to rely on him to be in these fights. Suddenly if he's not
there to just go into the corki this corki is just untouched. There's so much
damage with an early trim for Spike. So really make sure you include Zion more in your place.
Is he going to die now? Is he going to go for a tower or a dive or a knight?
Spirit clue coming out. Leader realizing that Reckless and Velia were in the area. Facts away.
TP coming out from Wunder as well though. The call of the force got here. Perhaps
lost return needs to be a bit cautious. SK investing five players down towards the
bottom side knowing that Baus doesn't have his teleport. Reckless clicked with the wind
becomes lightning, but with a mantred inspire, we'll be able to walk away from it and have
another tower over to SK. Meanwhile though, Bowz continues to push through top and with
no teleport on the side of SK to answer, should be able to get quite a lot of that tower.
I mean this is super fine, Bowz gets so much solo gold there and solo xp in the top
side, do you use your orn't gp to come down here just to trade the tower for tower,
maybe they won't get this tower but they still got so much gold from all that plating,
So, SK is getting excited with the one there.
It's a NICU Tri-Sweep, so I'm going to cheat you, but I'm just a little bit more thankful for that one.
Okay, trade overall for both teams, I think they'll say.
Yeah, you get tower in the bot side, you crack through that line of tier 1s for SK,
meaning you can go a little bit deeper with your vision positioning.
As on the other side, Lost Returns get more gold into Bouse,
who is taking a slight gold lead with about a 20 CS lead in that top lane.
It is the AP Gragas as expected out of Bouse.
one of his trademots. See what happens bot there, because now both Ryze and Ornn is in
the botanary and they both really want to push the side wave out to make sure they have
to fire for the next play. Looks like Nemesis is going to be the one to secure it. He is
probably a little bit stronger right now than the Ornn. He does have the Swifties
and not the Mercs, which surprises me a little bit, just because how good the Mercs are
against Gragas, but using that stun timer on the botanary is really crucial. So with
the Swifties I think he's also going to move around the map a lot more and try
to be really active in these rotations more than just being strong in the 1v1.
You do so that you have the slow from the barrel roll, you've got the slows coming out
of karma, you've got rise slows as well, like there's a few things that perhaps you
want to get a little bit more movement speed out of, but as you say, the Merc treads would
have made a lot of sense, has the proto-plasm harness as well, cosmic drive, and rocket
belt complete for Baus, and the 80 carries in mid lane is actually a relatively similar
position, like Lita's had this 800 gold lead for a while, but hasn't really
being involved that much after the initial three kills for SK.
I thought it was stagnant a little bit.
Snowball didn't really go as planned.
They put down Herald in the middle and tried to get a little bit of chunk on his tower.
And we'll get the charge in.
That's a good chunk overall from Herald.
And sets up some vision control for SK as well.
Earlier, vault breaking across the wall,
but Micky using that Shakespeare to gain vision of lost returns as they step in.
Leader continues to push out through the top.
Leader deep on this bush.
that LR can stop it, but now you will just take the recall for SK Gaming and try to set up the map once again.
You're setting up Wounder down there versus Baos.
I think this is kind of where Baos starts winning in the 1v1.
When you have these two items, you have a lot of CDR, a lot of mana from the lost chapter.
Something becomes quite hard for the Orn to kind of stop you from doing what you want to do,
which is just push the wave and move.
Wounder is just camping in the bush here.
It's like Baos doesn't want to try his luck on his bot wave.
Yeah, it doesn't really have a lot of vision control on this bot side of the map.
Both teams are investing towards top. No real surprises there.
They both actually take Baron pretty quickly.
Like Ryze Corki does a good job, as does Yone Yonara,
at taking those objectives relatively fast.
We have a minute 30 before we have the next drake on the map.
So expect to see SK trying to garner some control of that bot side jungle.
Not really much there for lost return, no camps up or anything,
but do want to be able to play around there a little bit more
if you're going to try and take a mountain stall, which would be massive.
Right, Mountain's old in this game, just negating so much damage.
And I'm just saying, if I'm playing against the boss on Gragas and he's 0-0-0 at 23 minutes, with more than 10 CS per minute,
I'm a little bit scared, because he makes miracles with way less than that.
He really does.
To see what the boss will do with this gold now, I think I'm really curious to see how he executes his fight,
because I know, everyone knows how good his mechanic is on this champion.
It's all about bank, which you have with your 4,000.
the top lane tower. We'll just
go away. Okay, trying to make
sure the top lane tower doesn't
fall too soon. Now pings towards
the Drake 30 seconds on it.
Next wave really is where we're
looking. Resets coming out of
the leader and Yoppa towards
the Mickey in fact towards that
top side. It's Yoppa in the
mid lane. And they will then
step forward into that bot
side jungle to get a little
revision himself. Skeens
slightly delayed. He's actually
had his sundered sky upgraded
first by wonder to the master
works under the sky. I was
wondering if that would be
level, right? So give it towards your strongest point or do you try and level up one of your weaker points to get them to a good level?
I'm going to get to Joppa now, make sure that I think the Yunnar will hit extremely hard on these teamfights.
Now when you're here early you just take this crab and it looks like LR is not in this bag at all.
They will just give it and make sure Nemesis gives a little bit more gold, gets closer towards the actualizer
and makes sure that he is scaled up for the next fight because he needs level 16,
he needs to blow up the clock in. This is not the time to fight for LR and they notice that
and they see that and they make sure they cross snap this dragon which is really clever.
Yeah, why is the back away from it actualize a SUCH a spike on Ryze, made slightly cheaper this patch as well.
Not enough people were buying it, it was kind of a Ryze 1 trick thing, but I still see it mostly as a Ryze item overall.
Only 2.
Also at level 16 on Ryze is such a big power spike due to how much spell plus damage increases with every woodpoint, so...
See now his roll, I will suit to go over, he'll get to level 16 and that's when you see these bomb moments from the Ryze that use nuke people in these teamfights.
Yeah, Lidia's going to be basically a whole level behind because of that Rod of Ages purchase when that ticks over for Nemesis.
He's even on XP, but hasn't been able to really extend the lead that he developed earlier.
Skeens has a small lead in the jungle as well.
Both of these teams not quite do or die for lost returns, but incredibly vital that they win this game.
Their scenarios in which they qualify for playoffs drop relatively rapidly.
For SK, they have to win.
If you lose this, you are out of running for playoffs alongside KCB.
You die.
We're in a group of mid wave together with Baos.
A lot of grouping.
You see this bot wave is completely untouched.
They realize that, okay, Baos won't go bot or Wunder won't go bot.
We're all going to group top side now because this dragon vision is the most important thing
that we can put our minds to right now.
And Leda can't really push in the side lane in the bot lane at least because he doesn't
have teleport.
Yeah, exactly.
You kind of want your Yone down there being the one to pressure.
He's the one that wins the 1v1 versus Bowson versus Nemesis, but right now he needs to be somewhere close enough to join a fight if it does at the begin.
And so he is now clearing out the mid lane. He'll go towards top after Yoppa takes over mid you have to expect.
Actually looks like they might overnumber through the mid lane to make sure they get this next wave pushed in.
It's a cannon wave, so Lost Resonance will have to answer it. Bowson is now answering on the bot side, but while this is happening, Nemesis and Velia are going to get to push in top.
You feel everyone holding their breath right now. The game has slowed down. You can feel the nerves.
Three kills to one. It's a really, really slow game, really methodical and just a very strategy-focused game.
Making sure you push your way, making sure you control your spaces. You don't overstep.
This is where Lost Returns have really thrived, right? Like, being behind and coming back.
Usually for much more substantial deficits than this. Their late-game teamfighting has been great.
He's got a lot of it on the back of Bowser's positioning.
He's charged on the clen against G2.
His Gragas as well have been the reason that they've been able to come back in games.
And obviously, you have to look at the rest of the squad as well.
Like Nemesis popping off crown. He's finding great positions on the Caitlyn.
Veljo on the Mundo being basically unkillable.
But now it feels like really one teamfight to change the entire course of this game
and the entire course of the split of LAC versus either of these teams.
Nemesis on a great job also back in this game really was struggling in that early game in those early skirmishes felt a little really far behind
But now level 16 free items fight even picked up a giant spell to make sure the dive onto Nemesis is a little bit more
Unrealistic for escape making sure we can tank just a little bit more wonderful go for Rylize
It was gonna be like a full tank item
I'm not quite sure on the rise optimization at this point because I imagine you have enough
Damage once you get actualized you don't actually need more damage to be honest often
you see things like a frozen heart and your position doesn't build out of the giant's belt
so unlike those goodies going down that route, but I wouldn't mind it into how much of damage
there is.
Leader stepping into Nemesis's Avelio as well, SK trying to collapse quickly, the round wall
coming out face shield doesn't connect on Nemesis and because of that he's able to escape.
Crowning and Reckless are here, TP's coming in from the top laners as well as they join
the fray.
Leader at half HP with no ultimate available though.
He tried to lifesteal up here a little bit on the top side way but now both TP's
are used.
No one really wants to base because if the boss bases or Wunder bases suddenly
you're one man short on the top side so we'll give the little item upgrade to
leader get in the upgraded shield bow there make sure you're pushing these
waves look at this mid wave seems like LR base to make sure and this means now
that SK is a little bit far behind on gold because they need a base to get
their items back and this means that LR is now ahead of the tempo they can
go and retake a little bit off this river get a little bit more vision
around this Baron and make sure that they know what's up
And to remember these master work items coming out from the orn, it used to be about 600 to
1000 gold of upgraded stats depending on what it is, haven't run the numbers recently, but
it's about that usually, around 700-800.
Yeah, around that something in that area, right?
So slight leads for SK in terms of at least the itemization, but as you say, haven't
been able to spend as much gold, modern reminder, competed on Crowny.
Gold is almost 50.
Yeah, it's basically the same, man.
Leave the event. All the bastards mid push.
LR really wants to get this push.
Walk into that pop side and maybe threaten the Baron star for SK.
You can't really give this mid push for free.
You're harrowing into the pop side.
Bounces his ability to engage is so much larger
when he has something like the Seeker's Armguard.
Will have the cooldown back up.
They're not forcing. They're waiting.
The Drake is up. Started by Leader.
Vellier trying to step in with that inspired.
Micky looking for the flank position.
That pop was he could be huge.
He's warded out and they know he's there
with the Orals who's coming out.
That was going round the side here.
Looking for a fight himself.
The rest of the team isolated though.
Mickey goes in, Mickey's a minion!
On to Reckless and onto Velia.
Call for the Porsche coming out as well as Mickey's distracted.
The backline, the Drake was secure.
Seeking assistance from Velia, but SK begins to collapse.
Good dash away from Velia.
Leader now caught out by manager Brownlee.
Joplin trying to get the damage down.
Brownlee's got a Valkyrie in.
Leader taking out with the explosive car.
Nemesis falling low to Sarrichill.
We're not getting up to save him.
Flash is away from SK.
Joplin's so low they need to get out of here.
And Skeens will escape.
Hulkbreaker blocked by the shapesplitter.
He did enough for Lost Returns to go Baron!
But don't give him the damage right now, Yopay's 1HP leader is dead!
Can you go Sergeant Baron? Looks like you don't want to try, but such a close fight.
SK will pick up the Dragon though, now has Soulpoint in 4 minutes.
And wow, you can really feel everyone holding their breath.
You saw Miki go for that engage, but Reckless did not die.
I wonder if he got a Mantra WR in time to just heal up a little bit more together with that redemption.
Yeah, possibly. We'll have another look at it.
Because the fight is so split, my leader's down towards this bottom side, Mickey's finding a great flank position.
The enemies can't get to follow up with Jonas, Jonas is just fighting Ragnos on the both side.
He was going for crowning but here Vals is so well, shutting down Lider out of this fight,
so he cannot spin pad the fight that's happening on the left side here.
And then Joppa has to flash away from the emissives immediately.
SK having no damage to take him out, but Joppa is unable to join the fight,
which is why SK now realize, okay, we need to retreat, we need to get out.
Great use of the shape splitter by Mickey at the end to block the vault breaker in from Belia
And look what was used, Ornn flash, Shinshaw flash, Yon flash, Dinaro flash, Niko flash
Suddenly, all of SK are flashless, and staying close for a while long
There are no more flashes and Baron is coming up, which means CC is so vital
You need to land your CC because you can't flash out if you're caught in a bad position
Bounce is here to block the way in, TP coming in as well
They look for the fight, Mickey on a plank position, has the pop, Blossom
Landed onto the three, the bounce is there, and there's no follow-up in that case!
The body needs to kill the battle mid, just got a full-first bounce with the stopwatch,
corner the full-shot with the backline bounce, trying to get away,
X-Roses past, Wunder diving in.
They're not the youth of Lina!
Fines reckless, but Prowdy and Nemesis are still very healthy.
Stealing taken out, they go into Yopso,
seeking assistance in Yopso's bag!
He's knocked up with Wunder, leader taken out,
and now Ruff is turned with the Baron in their back,
with their carry still alive!
We'll take out Wunder, there's no escape for the Orn in the pit!
Even with the knock up lots returned in the fight, the rap trap was run by a large knock by Crowny
coming up huge in this fight, baron secured by Crowny, so much damage going out, the mixing
gait looks beautiful, but there's no full of accuracy though, he's not here, and
Ball's quick and stop budgetized so much time and pushed through ice on Crowny and Nemesis
Look at the damage. The pumping arc in this fight.
Completely untouched.
And Celia also holding the Seeking Decisive.
In moments, Joffa walks us to try to do a little bit of damage.
It's all on bounce. Again, you have to feel standing in that bush, delaying the rest of SK.
Mickey finds a great engage, but as you say, everyone else is still in mid lane.
No one else is close enough.
A huge fight for Lost Returns.
Corky with a massive lead now.
Now 3.7k ahead, has finished his fourth item crowny.
In a great spot overall, those flashes still, not yet back off cooldown, but with the ballon
buff for the next minute and a half, lost for Tones have ample time to push in.
That's the ultimate, a collective breath as LR now tries to siege onto his boss side
with his Baron.
How much can they get to this?
We have the dragon come up in one minute and 20 seconds.
You need to make sure you're there in time.
cannot let SK get this old point. You don't want to let them get there first. Get there early
and make sure you hold the choke point when SK walks in because if you let them take that place
first you have barely other flashes. They're still on cooldown and that lethal in a choke point
is still very dangerous. Really is, really is. Let's have another reminder just of what this is
all being for. I must return sitting at the cusp of ninth right now, four and five. A win here
It puts them into that 8th position tied, or 7th tied with Heretics and Fnatic, would be massive for them.
Put SK down out of contention for playoffs, and then lost returns, just need to knock off another two teams.
Just need two more teams to fall short.
That's his level 20.
It's 1.5K gold up.
As Greg has in late game level 20, he is facing for us.
Someone has a backline, leaving us in the space here, follow up.
They go on to crown him, and he's got a Guardian Angel coming forward, coming out of 12 at Lidl.
unable to join the rest of the fight. Nemesis is falling low.
Yonpa goes down first.
Nemesis is doing so much work here,
as schemes will come back to life surrounded by the rats.
And he's more to pieces.
Nemesis on the chase, able to get Wanda away,
but again, lost returns after being picked off.
Still without the fight, they have five members alive.
They're realm-wobbing forward for Mickey and they're clutching.
That one's bought them all.
Nemesis takes the kill, and now leader and Wanda.
Oh they can only wonder how they can defend!
They're coming down the base bed, it looks like all the circles were lining,
all the Wombo combos were landing on the LR backline,
but there was no damage, no one goes down!
They're going and leaving, taking him down!
It's only Wunder to hold the forge!
The next wave is here, they can kill the wave as much as you want,
but Bounce with a stopwatch goes Golden!
Up low sevens, reach for gold, they've got a license to kill!
and SK were their targets, Lothar Tones, go to fight and fight.
What a game. What a game. What a comeback by the Lothar Tonys.
They really slowed the game down super well.
It looked like SK came out full swinging,
shutting down Nemesis, but they really delayed the game,
made sure Nemesis got his free item power spike
and then made sure they were fighting.
What what a performance also turns continue to impress 0 4 to 5 and 5
You can put one of the key a player the game for at least your next bounce nemesis and crowning all had great games
The fact that crowning was able to pick up those kills in the mid game fights got himself the GA
Which when he came back to life huge huge. I mean to me that crowned last call in the box
I read it really was
They take a bow and what a beautiful game play played by them and just put those yeah huge stuff for them
the next round. They play up
against shifters. Actually a
huge game for shifters now for
lost returns. They face
vitality tomorrow. Another big
one. Their odds are improving.
However, there are still
scenarios where lost returns
do not make it better. Pray
they're also ever in their
favor as they go up against
my town tomorrow because that
is a tough team to beat. It
It really is. I see Drakos is getting ready on stage, standing by with Nemesis will give them a minute just to impose themselves as expected after a game like that.
You need a moment. Great stuff. And we talked about it in midgame. It's like, this is Lost Returns comfort spot. Like their team fighting is sublime.
We'll hear more about it from Drakos and Nemesis.
Thank you very much, gentlemen. It's my pleasure to be joined by Nemesis. Lost Returns fans, I've heard you once, but give it up one more time for the victorious.
How does it feel really quickly before we get into this?
You just always have this many people cheering for you.
I think that it's crazy to me that this house that has been so full of fanatic fans,
G2 fans, and whatever, LoserFrance fans coming out of nowhere this season
to show up and force for you guys. How does it feel?
Yeah, it feels amazing. I just want to say LoserFrance fans are the best fans out there.
I'll give this to you. You know what the people want.
The people definitely like that.
But I got to talk to you a little bit about the mid-lane matchup because
It felt to me like, this is the most camped you have been this entire season.
It felt very clear to me that SK had a game plan and it was trying to take you out of the picture.
How did you feel playing through this early game having so much attention on you?
I mean, it went well. I mean, honestly, like, SK does play around mid lane a lot, and we knew that.
I just made like one crucial mistake early where I died because it was kind of like communication issue where we thought we were going to fight.
And then I went in and lost my flash and that really sucks for the matchup.
But we also knew that we probably will outscale them in a way, like mid-game.
So even if early game doesn't go that well, it will probably be fine.
I'm curious how you feel about tomorrow's matchup. You guys aren't locked for playoffs yet.
You're playing against Vitality. Tomorrow the stakes are pretty high.
What do you think about that matchup? How do you feel about Vitality's opponents?
They've had some great games. They've had some terrible games. What's your read on them?
Well, we did scream them like some time ago. Definitely very like blood body games.
It's a hit or miss, like either they stomped us or we stomped them.
I don't know, it's kind of the pun on the job, but I think it's going to be exciting and, yeah, looking forward to it.
One step at a time.
100% sure you're making playoffs? No doubt in your mind. Where are we at?
Yeah, we're making playoffs.
That's what the people want to hear.
Again, thank you so much Nemesis. Congrats again on the win. Good luck first vitality.
tomorrow of course we're gonna send things over to the desk where bossy is
standing by with the game the messy of league is here with us once again both
thank you for joining us thank you for having nothing is ever easy with you
guys I thought it was pretty easy okay okay okay well actually we have a
play that we want to show you that was the turning point moments of the
game as Los Santos flip the Baron in our Euronics play of the day if you
want to talk us through this with vows it's the Baron moment how did you
Yeah, I really wanted to break this down with you, because it starts off with you zoning them really hard.
What were the comps like here? What was the game plan? Was it just to like, you buy time and then the team finishes the match and we can play the replay?
Oh, I remember this. Do you want to know why we started Baron?
Yeah, please.
Ornn has bought no TP. And then he started TPing mid.
Well, I guess he has it. But I just figured I'd go into them, make a little bit chaos, happen.
happen. I know my team will finish the Baron and they will always do their part so I just feel like
this looked pretty free but I was yeah. So giving fake information but still you turned the plane.
I was getting a little bit boring you know the game. Like I figured we need some actions. I just
made up the one that's not TP which is our Baron. You just casted your whole team.
I mean Velia with the Smites he's been really crucial with it. I don't know how he does it.
Okay, I mean, the Na'Vi game, really, it was kind of outsmarting, but...
No. It's all.
Yeah, we don't talk about this one.
Hey, yeah, you guys, turn it in the end.
Uh, Jax, you were believing in them from the get-go.
I was believing from the beginning, to be honest.
When I saw you guys...
Listen, listen, listen.
He actually was! Trust me, he was.
For cool, I was, if you watch.
But, second, when I saw you guys getting Drakes,
I knew the game was looking good, because when you guys get Drakes,
the game will just chill, smooth, easy.
It's only when the enemy suddenly has four Drakes,
I was like, ooh, took it rough.
Yeah, it was, yeah, Drake's our comfort zone,
Skaling's our comfort zone.
I think a lot of people, when we had a rough start,
they started believing in us, but then they lost all hope.
If you're saying you stuck with us the whole time.
I stuck with the S.
And I watched you guys in a lot last year.
They're a real one, then.
Of course, of course.
Bows, you're the key player of the game here.
How does it feel?
You went from being solo killed every game
to actually exposing frauds now?
Yeah, I thought so.
I don't know. I think I've gotten a lot better.
I think the first two weeks I was completely boosted.
Probably replaced me like a silver player better.
But yeah, I feel like I've gotten a lot better.
And I'm going to be honest, I'm probably the best top laner in the league right now.
Damn, which is interesting because thank you.
Coming into today,
I was watching Naktaku stream, he said I was a bad laner, a viewer asked him, what do you think about the boss?
He's a bad laner, a good macro. Tomorrow I will show him what a good laner looks like.
Let's go! The story of Los Ratuns continues tomorrow, we're going to track your qualification of course throughout the next matches.
But that's all for us now. Navi is actually playing next against G2 still looking for qualification in playoff stage 2.
GEMON?
How?
Nervous mark.
Hey, brother.
Right together we died together.
Yeah.
Just a big game, right?
I don't want to die, bro.
Like what?
We all got your back.
Every single one of us.
For day one.
This is Niko.
We can kill Niko.
No problem.
We're gonna burn, but...
We're gonna kill Niko.
We can kill Niko.
We're gonna kill Niko.
We can kill Niko.
We're gonna kill Niko.
We're gonna kill Niko.
We're gonna kill Niko.
We're gonna kill Niko.
Bro!
We're gonna kill Niko.
We can leak out. We can leak out.
Can we slow play? Can we slow play?
Can we slow right?
Yeah, keep moving.
It's not me. It's not slow, slow, slow, slow.
I have to go out.
No, no, no, no.
I'm moving, I'm moving, I'm moving.
You're out, you're out, you're out.
You're out, you're out.
You're out, you're out.
You're out, you're out.
It's all you want, all you want.
Ignore it.
I guess you can go out too.
You're skinny, but that's me.
And then to the car!
He's gone.
Let's go.
Wait, is he switching lanes?
Now in our second half, we go into the go-to matchup of G2 vs NAVI.
these two teams should be top of the league. One of them truly is right now in
Na'Vi looking for a top two position to finish off the split in this weekend. The
other is G2 where they're not locked into playoffs yet and even though it looks
like they probably will and of course with this matchup they can, it is G2.
Nothing is certain. Well it's also like Na'Vi is not a pushover, right? So for G2 it is still
a very very difficult game to try and take and let's be real they haven't
been looking as strong as they do as usual. Now, you want to say it's G2, they'll pull
it all together. But there is always a bit of a doubt that certainly creeping at the edges.
Like, I have some of the drafts I haven't been the biggest fan of, some of the gameplay has
been a bit ropey. So, I'm waiting to see exactly what this is going to look like, because
Navi have looked brilliant, and it's so cool to see what Navi have achieved this
year. Like, obviously, there was coming in of summer, taking over from Rogue,
but this is really where they got to kind of make their own style of team, take
the team where they wanted to and it's been looking pretty damn good.
I am very excited to see what Navi can achieve as we go forward.
So my, I mean, if there's been so much hype about around Lost for Tones,
I think people have bypassed that Navi and your organization with their second split here in the LEC
are running a roster of put-togethers and it's doing really damn well.
So now as we go against G2 and now as Navi rather do,
we're going to see if they can go the full measure.
We're going to pick and ban Ramada. Patch 26.3 here debuting.
And not many champion changes, but still we can walk you through some of the changes if they become relevant.
However, for now the relevancy is in the rumble. In the case of ban as well, the final take away from G2.
Yeah, nothing too crazy. I mean we still kind of see a lot of the same priorities at least over the course of the day.
So, nothing too bizarre. And still keeping an eye on things like the Orianna, the Azir, these kind of picks.
Especially with the Jarvan already taken away. This says to me that G2 more than likely not going to prioritize the Azir
But maybe even prioritize the Orianna for caps here
And I say Navi saying sorry that they want G2 to take the Azir so they can then take the Orianna
Even the ViGon as well takes away that Vi to Lea combo
So Navi putting a lot of emphasis on having a good secondary pick after the Azir here 4-4
So it'd be a good good starter here G2 first pick
There it is. Okay. As if the caps, I feel like caps has been, caps has still been classed.
This split has been, there's been ups and downs. It didn't start with a down with the
AZTP in mid lane on the spot earlier on. Is it AZTP on the spot with? Yeah. I did remember
right. I don't think I'll forget that as I was like, right? What do we get in
response to? I think you can either go for the Orianna or the Ryze, but Orianna,
The fact you ban Jarvan and Vi, these are the two things that are really good into Orianna, because she's a mobile in that mid lane, so that I think is what Navi were trying to set up this trade in the mid lane, and now you can take your jungler as you'd like to, and Rilech obviously has played a multitude of different picks, so, no, he kind of has his windows as to where he wants to go, but...
But he does play a lot of top laners in the jungle, and this is one of them now could be a flex, but most likely, and that's a jungle here in Europe.
Yeah, I mean we've already seen relash plane and it does work well with the Orianas as well
You go in with the public execution meeting chocolate to follow up. It's a pretty nice combo
It does this sale so because you've got that last big thing for reds are at least your second pick
It means that you can actually take the the next big here
This is an intelligence father a hand better has been played top more than it has been jungle
I guess I've just been watching relash so much that I think for Navi it will go jungle
You talk about flexibility of draft, I see a G2 draft that is putting everything right
from right basket. Ezreal gets locked in behind Stammer. Okay, me likey. But the problem is
Cassante is up and available, Dagger. And Cassante is easy, especially when Rumble is gone.
If G2 snagged us away, I don't think he's got a problem with the damage source, right?
The problem is that you can put the investor into the Cassanti on the top side, which then opens up a lot in the draft for Reletch as well.
They're just going to go with the Pantheon. Amoni is so on the Pantheon in this sort of situation. I think Pantheon kind of wants two things in the game.
He wants combos, so something that can work with them in the mid lane like Atelier, which we don't have in this game, and things that can play heavily on side lanes.
Is here has some ability to play on sides like he's definitely stronger than the Orianna and so maybe that's where you try and put your focus
But I think in this case you want to get broken by down to some sort of carry in the sidelines
We could be a real threat and the fans you can try and play for these
carries like the nah, I mean he's played before I don't want to see a leasing game from him, but
As we're talking Sam D locks in the aphelios now be tied most game with you know, he's you know, a rubber
so
I'm starting to see for Navi they've got some setup with their old people. Maybe some more reliable click-and-gauge would be ideal
On the side of G2, I think that can kind of save the same and Pantheon can facilitate
But maybe someone else to press click-and-go. I'm looking at LeBrop. I'm looking at Paris two very good engaged supports
There's one now taken off the board. Yeah
So that'd be more than likely gonna try and set up for the Alistar
Especially with the Braum already taken away have that engage tool also that disengage tool for things like pantheon
is as you try and play around this Othelios and it's got good follow-up, right, because
you're already looking at the project execution as a kind of pseudo-engage tool.
And so for Navi, I think you've got a very clear way of trying to go through this.
The Thresh is an interesting band to me.
I didn't expect the Paris to be going for the Thresh in this sort of situation.
Obviously, Pair is okay with the Othelios, but I would have imagined more engage
coming from that bottom side, unless they're just going to stick Mainter on to like
Sion or something I suppose in that top lane?
Sion is a good call actually as well.
Maybe again it could end up being a Cassante that's just gonna fished over. Keep that in the back of your mind.
I mean Mainzer has played Cassante the most and...
But it's also because like if you think of the way Naby want to draft it's probably gonna be support on 4
and then you keep that flex in the embassy.
So that's why my thoughts are take the Alistar, which I don't think you really want to blind thrash in this position.
I think you two are setting up for Renekton though. There's a Kennen band there.
And maybe they're like hang on a minute main tech can just pick the Renekton here
But you you're damn redeggie. He's just so smart and you're a good-looking bloke
You got it all I say this at least once a month with you
I don't mean to glaze you but you talk about support here so that they can fish for a counterpicking top
Well done
They need engage easy engage to lock in especially fresh is now down
Well, you're also tolerance in the house because I think the the Renekton is a great call
Like especially with the cannonbar, I think maybe taking the Renekton makes a lot of sense
Because you don't really want to go something like
Like even things like a poppy or anything weird like that
And it'd be decent into the investor, but they know it's flex and best of the jungle
And then you're in this situation where there's not really any dashes in the rest of teams
So I think for G2. Yeah, there's your renektin. Go on Jake. I mean, I just like
as a renegot player if I see a cannon man I'm like, ah ha, crazy B, let's fucking crocky,
like for me that is the biggest heads up ever, but now the biggest question is how do they
cement the drop, you said like there's a bit of flexibility for Na'Vi, but...
I think it might just be an 8 rocks, and I think if it's a bad jump, and also 3
LA champions on g2 side, could be good, but as you said the sign as well, yeah just
strong frontline, and open up for this afeleos, so if this is solo queue, I'd be saying
BB, you know what, maybe we take Ignite top, win the early levels, we take PTA, we go play the Rune King rush, but no.
To pro play, it's going to be Black Cleaver, all that pretty trolly that didn't talk to you anyway.
Dagnos, hopefully you like better. I mean, it does seem like the G2 is specific focus on how, you know, how their skirmishes go.
Do you want to lover other than that a bit?
I think for G2, you have some windows to play outside, so I'd scale with their inactivity.
And kind of with the Azir, if you can get the Azir facing up against the Orianna, which is good for the Pantheon to try and make these quick plays.
When I get towards teamfights though, if Rilech can get some good ultimates onto the likes of Caps and you can follow up very quickly with Obi on the Orianna,
I think you can one-shot the Azir and then look to try and win out the rest of the fight through that.
Because Han-Sama just wanted the DPS to try and get through the Sion when you have to do that from the back.
That's what I was worried about.
So I think that this is very much a case of like Caps kind of holding his own in teamfights
and making sure he's not getting caught out by these combos that's available on that.
But surviving the early landing plays is also a big deal because Popey's on Orianna
and much like his predecessor, I think he is an insane Orianna at that as well.
Navi is a team going into G2. A lot of people might be like, yeah G2 are definitely favorites.
No, I think Navi is their favorite for the first time going against G2 in the end of the season.
Not many teams have that great stature, status, you know the word.
Nabi just have it all right now.
And they're racing to tie themselves up.
If they can get towards that first infusion, of course, I believe it is impossible, but
top two finish for Nabi in their first split with their players after acquiring the spot.
That'd be huge in Scumon, because he flashes away already with a big start, getting the enemy jungler's flash.
Yeah, nice job there, because it makes G1 a little bit more hesitant to try and play
for any of these raids.
And see if he can get into the face of R'latch.
Tries to get in and get the war, so nice scouting.
It feels like to me for Navi, realizing look it seems like G2 go for this deep ward all
the time.
Let's set up a pick for it.
What was that comment?
Pantheon wants victory.
I mean, who doesn't?
You're playing like anyone in gold or bronze wants victory.
You know that person?
You have a chat after this.
If you're wondering about the stakes, we're talking a lot about the stakes today.
Scotch, Fillet, not Sirloin, but Stakes of LEC.
Fnatic win this game, I mean G2 you're talking about,
they will lock playoffs.
G2, Fnatic are coming up tomorrow,
production got a little bit excited ahead of themselves,
but that meant to say, if G2 win this game,
then they lock in Dugna, big deal.
A very big deal, seriously.
Yeah, they really want to get this going.
At this stage, it still feels like you're kind of waiting
for G2 to just pick up the slack
on what has been a bit of a mismatch in the regular season.
But a win over Navi, I think would fill people with a lot more confidence because Navi have looked very good.
They're taking some scallops off with some great teams over the course of this split.
But either way, I think G2, like, this is your moment, try and find some really good success.
Sorry, Dagon. One came along plugged in.
Seems like he brought us back. So, just successfully talking about it.
Did you already talk about it? Starts with some of the skirmishing?
And it starts heavily around the side lanes. Talk about what Caps can do here in this mid lane being the most important
Caps has got a good trade here on the Poby
Poby was already poking me out. Broke him behind the turret and she's gonna get the wave shoved up and
Into this first plate bit of extra gold for the Renekton who has taken TP in the matchup
And also you'll get nice resets on her here
This is kind of a new cheater recall. You proxy this wave
Reset and you get to come back before the enemy can actually reset on top side
And so you're you can see here nature's gonna have to deal with this wave. I'm pushing another one
So means that baby will be able to come out of base with this item advantage and then trying to push that advantage even hard
Said as you said longsword refillable
I wonder the first time I assume broken by will just go to black cleaver route, you know into silence for you tool
But we have been inventive in the LEC broken plate is just kind of that guy
And of course you can be excited for top lane, I should bring it back to like the goats both of Europe and of Korea
Well of some time in Korea as well as look at jungler's facing off. This should be a matchup about Poby versus caps
these guys I
Mean Poby's making an effort himself in the LEC and caps is the LEC, you know
Yeah, I mean caps has been so good for so long and Poby has had some classic moments as
As...
Hang on a sec.
LeBrov?
Yeah, that goes pear shake.
Harris...
Okay, Riptide then flashed, but the range LeBrov always dies.
The Graviton spread.
Now Sam Deke gets the summoners out.
LeBrov now without.
As Harris looks for the hook again, he's healed all the way up.
Xen'play doesn't connect either.
X is like it does, and Huntsong gets the poke on the way out.
LeBrov, low health bar, and even Harris just healing off the wave in front of the level up as well.
means that for G2 they have to try and back away and you take that as an hobby because you
never get to shoot at this wave as they don't know how to reset yeah you get to get the first
recess ahead of Hanson as well and we only know just kind of marching towards mid not going to
have to do too much it just doesn't have a window to really make much happen. Just looking at
vision to see if a Poby sees anything towards vision I mean there are things going down so
I'm not sure for now, captain level 5, so we can't get the shove back rather than a set up fall of Rob.
Rob comes in regardless, threatens, helps Cap get the push out here.
Both mid laners use their TP, so any early reset here is the ability to deny some creeps.
Paris doesn't go for the hook either.
I'm just going back away.
So I've jerk picked up for some D in the bottom side though, means that he should be able to take some nice raids.
So I'm curious if we're lich as he in the next minus should take over to level 6
to try and make some plays around that bottom side of the map especially since
LeBrov doesn't have his flash available.
I'm about to see him, he's probably just trying to set up vision on this poppy side.
This won't be cool by this, LeBrov, just for the vision contest as well,
Dragon's also up now too, as Relax comes down, poking ahead in the XP bar,
it's going to be a fight that cruise up in river, LeBrov in Krull,
Skumon coming in to add damage, but I think LeBrov went too early too fast,
flash away from Poby, but now he's out of harm's way.
LeBrov is an easy first blood and it's going to go to the post star. No stolen by Ralech I think with an auto
The first blood over to Navi and LeBrov was just a bit disconnected. Yeah, LeBrov was off on his own
Didn't have Skiumon there to support him. So and they're being a complete mess
Kill goes over to Ralech. He's gonna be very happy with that one
And yeah, like I'm kind of just so sure as to why you two wanted to go for this
The brawl was too far forward, you know, Rilech is there.
Obi had first move from mid as well, able to shift across.
And at least he hit the flash, Obi put it.
It actually takes him further away from cops who doesn't have the damage.
And Rilech in the end, just a quick swipe to take away that kill.
Alright, first splat over to Rilech, get the ball rolling.
Pickaxe picked up on the way back as well, and we talked about Dragon,
but I think also we talked about the approach of level six.
Rilech is going to be there first, and even if he wants trailing,
Don't worry about what this guy can do with an early lane, especially early damage access to something like an ambassador.
Reledge will, because he's doing the dragon, not hit 6 first, because you can see Skumon was on that top side's good old.
But there is, like, as Skumon, what's your cross mop?
Because that's kind of what you're looking for as trades is the Pantheon, but you can't really die if Mainter, he's on Sion, has a level 6, makes it very difficult to make anything happen.
So you're just stealing the way it can, which is the end of the world.
So for G2, I think this is where SKYMON is, we'll have to keep our eyes on how he wants to try and play at the map with this ultimate now available.
This is a pretty good point, I mean that's what tank tops and that's why they feel like they're so broken at the moment, not just because there's health in the game and cheaper access to it, but also because early game side out, like we've got more plates in the game and tanks are able to just survive and induce.
It's also when you're a Pantheon, you kind of hate to see tanks in the game as well because it means it kind of just nullifies the lane that you can play to.
Like you're gonna try and all in on Mainter as a Sion, there's a fairly high chance, especially with this early armour, that he probably survives through.
That play on towards the Sion lane, so it limits the areas that you can actually try and play for.
So for SQmont, it will be a heavy focus on, okay can I try and make some plays towards SamD and Paris, or can I make a play towards Boby, as you start to open up into these Sion lane plays.
I have to get the steal there, meanwhile we go back to top Dominus used, Mace is in trouble, Q's gonna come through Broken Blade, he's about to tag in again, but he's brought out a skill, problem with Renekton, once you've used everything, you just gotta wait for the rotation of spells again.
So Manger Rouge is back away, get the recess. It should be completely fine, so nothing too much to write home about.
So it's all stuff going on, bot just kind of nullifies as well.
SQmon doesn't find too much outside of his own red buff after seeing Reletch going for the Invade.
But no, with Reletch getting the Invade and obviously getting the Dragon Dagger, there is a CS-Leap brewing actually.
For SQmon on this panther, despite everything, he probably gets shuffled back looking towards mid.
The POPs are in trouble now.
Shockwave flashed over. SQmon clean as you'd like.
LeProv is going to mitigate the last kill and give a new one to G2.
Obi used that flash earlier in the skirmish and G2 had to come back and punish.
Nice job like half, getting that Emperor's Divide to set up for the rest of the team,
and this shouldn't eschew him on these grubs.
Enabling grubs, great as well.
Meanwhile, the response play.
Navi looking for the bot dive onto Han Summer.
It's an Israel, so Paris needs to be precise.
Flash, auto-attack, dredged line, public execution, but Han's not dead yet until...
Reledge gets the last auto again plates given up and a boy denied. Thanks to Navi really nice job by Paris
They're flashing forward for the auto attack uses the shield as well to speed up
How quickly that auto attack goes through which means you can't react with this arcade shifter a flashaway from Han Samma
It means we're actually easily follow up making it really difficult for hands to get anything off that plate and observes
I wonder if we can go back to what's bought. I want to see the wave tonight like the minions that are being denied here
against HanSama, SamD now has 97 for SamD rather, to 83 CS. So there's a big lead brewing and when I see a scaling of fellas in a good position coming out of lane, I'm sure like Jack Spectre would say, that's good.
He's got a collector already picked up himself, so SamD in a very nice spot. Especially when you're looking towards like the dragon stacking, then that'll be already halved.
You should be in a decent spot to just play off of SamD in this sort of position
I'm sure you'll have like Triforce coming through for HanSama
But I don't think he's gonna pick it up before this neko subjet though
Actually, I suppose maybe he's fairly close for us still
I think you're you're in a good spot now with his portfolios
And if you're talking about objectives obviously those items are important those break points are huge one minute 30 kill dragon and
A clip on top of that collector you're talking about picked up means that Navi right now
Do have the power but as they say that the not admins in palos been picked up by skumon
So now that he's got sundered sky
A little bit more power added into the mix. I want to see broken play gets the black cleaver
If he's gonna be involved in this fight at all down in Bob
But look at my vision is already set up here, right?
You've got all these words one was just cleared out of my LeBron
We've got a total positions for major if you want to try and go for some of the six or a tp
Plank but also the spot out where skim on is because that ultimate is just fetch them off build out
Keep the right person the dredge line up an engage
The shot back and Paris might be given to two-man shot right from Povey.
Sol for an income though, because Povey's isolated and alone.
Two shot right, narrowly avoiding G2.
Ah, low, they're blinking, but Ralech wasn't involved.
The bot lane wasn't involved. G2 had numbers.
Paris just a little bit too far away from the jungler.
And even though it was a good shot away from Povey,
there's just no real follow up on Sama.
Arcane shifting over the wall,
realizing that he'd probably try to make some sort of counter-function this bottom lane.
It would've been scary, but Han Sama's walking up to the wave.
If Ralech is still in a good position, LeBrov is coming nearby, but Skumond also has his ulti.
Skumond's ulti now off a cooldown. He's even in the vicinity as he starts up his Krugs.
If Ralech stays here any longer and the play doesn't work out, a bit of time wasted while once again,
Skumond is just picking up the litter of camps.
I mean, it is for Dragon Dagger, but still, like Skumond is here for Dragon Contest.
The... wasn't able to pick up on his gromp, but still now in position.
Dragging gonna reset once more.
And Obi has TP back into mid lane.
But I don't know if he has push, so Capsa, yeah, I think should be able to move over first here.
With Red and White I guess it's gonna be done quickly as well.
Capsa, he said could have moved over there, looking for plating instead.
More on bot side, but the push was just coming through, so G2 not able to make any sort of play for us.
Skiland isn't moving top, trying to steal away some of these Capsa as well.
Because he's been doing a decent job of taking camps when these dragons are being taken.
So at least he's opening up that CSD, and as you said, relax, kind of spending time on this bottom side.
It means he wasn't able to fall clear.
But still, now you're going to be happy that they're picking up two of these dragons already.
And look at where this sneaky man is.
He's just gone up, stolen the red buff, and now going for raptors as well.
This will be a contest, but it turns into a kill.
You set up the renecdum behind, cry-gears.
Crikey is a dredged line comes in broken blade gets a start up shockwave public execution
It's okay to know we with a double knock up a cat
It's over the wall hits out a siren all these flashes for skew on broken blade now the midst of it is now
He has turned to play the re-engaged on to Mainter as caps are just sitting there delivering being doesn't fall commit with the ulti
All the flash a bit of an over commit from g2 in the end as they go too deep a great
Rome from LeBron to actually help out on the play basically calling the fact that you two were gonna go for the cross map
And while all that is happening as well,
Sam Di was pushing in his bottom side, got more plates,
made handsome a Luzet War as well.
You see here, like, it starts off well for G2,
but the hook from Paris, the shockwave as well,
the immediate follow from Ouellet sets up really well for this play.
And Taps can't really get the value that he was hoping for with the position that he's in,
especially as Mainzer comes across.
It's just the numbers advantage that the cross isn't in the fight as quickly as Paris does.
Paris that hook changes a lot. Navi with 1k gold lead and remember they're the dragon stacking team as well
So for G2 even though they got a couple of these kills back and that jungle lead is brewing
He asked me what jungle lead. In fact the lane that I feel like should have a lead with the CS gap in jungle and top lane
It's complete opposite. Maitre has a 500 gold lead on this side and that's not the kill sure but then some
He's got a CS lead over Renekton
Yeah, I think it was just a good wave as well on the last play where Mainter was able to force BB to lose in a little bit
So for Naby, honestly
I think you're in a good spot because these are like the timers that you want to try and win out on the map with G2
Yeah, you've got Triforce completed for Hans-Sama, Black Dever completed for Broken Blade on our top side
And the Locusts already ahead of Perla-Brog in the bot lane
But there just hasn't been these moments to really make the plays. Nera-Lech
Keep them probably safe on this top side to make sure you can pick up the wave
He's got flush available. Public execution comes off in three seconds. Paris is here as well.
Ping's getting spanned down. Broken Blade is being very respectful here.
He has Black Cleaver at any level, 11 by the way, so under the turret maybe feels more confident.
Diving or re-enacting, never the best idea as we look towards bot. Hang on.
Naito vs. Caps is happening. Deconating smash and max stat, pretty much.
Caps will continue firing away. Nothing else happens there while all attention is focused in top 15 seconds until the Herald spawns.
But this is what we're talking about right the what G2 wants to do with his
pantheon is to constantly make plays towards wherever the Orianna is
position on the map it's much more difficult against Mainter so that's why
we see Naby just protecting Poby on this topside clearing out vision
shadowing him behind them as relic making sure this Orianna can't fall
behind to a play but it does mean they're now kind of having to go clear
camps happening at the resetting which is opening up for G2 to start up
And as it begins as well, Cap has TP. He can join in, main to the same.
Which is also now back up and available as well. Herald's going pretty slow.
The eye brings it down to 6k, but Navi still progress forward.
Reletch wants to steal, and now that Navi start off to Herald,
that eye proc is going to have to be perfect.
The damage is going to come down as well. Do you think it's going to fight afterwards?
Flush from the grob onto Poby. Solar Slam to the cost of the Herald.
Poby, target of the Dreadfine. Paris saves the day.
Broke him late still on this Orianna that has gone too far away.
G2 went in deep for this, but Major is off again.
The saving, Grace's Navi just fight better and Caps may have joined the fight,
but now that he's in too deep, it's about his escape.
Lethal tempo up with Taos trying to run away for his life.
He gets hit once, but not a second time as Yolti comes through and Caps separates Navi,
but now he's back, he's literally against the wall, trying to get relapsed.
Caps does, but the Herald goes over and the fight was a bloody one in Nabi's favor.
Nabi end up taking the fight afterwards because G2 put everything into trying to kill Poby,
but barely he's able to skirt away thanks to the help of the team, and it means the
fights are a mess for G2.
Every single time as well this sign is coming in and as, whoa, get tanked, okay, hang
on babies in trouble our server went for a ride and we're just in the backseat at
110 kph. No ultimate on Schumann though is actually a win because it makes
Popey significantly safer on this side lane. The flash for him was just burnt in
that last play but G2 tried to capitalize on it immediately and don't
actually make it work and when everyone moving down to bot side it's mid taken
dragon has no spawns and maybe Navi just not quite having their ultimate up
may give G2 a window unless they get caught here. I guess not because again G2
Their numbers disadvantage, really had to fall on him as well and onto LeBron, isolated, easy kill.
Navi right now are fighting better and they've got a third dragon at stake.
G2, so separated on the plays, this is not looking good for them at all and Navi, making it look clean.
Three dragons said they're in amens. G2 just don't look like they're in it at all.
Still dangerous waters.
You're going to hear a lot today about what playoff is and what is important.
now g2 are not locked in yet they'll be tied with lr if they lose right you are sir well i mean
lor beat them so the head to head lr will be above g2 if you can lose the means to suddenly change
i mean look no one can predict ellie's in a split and no one could have predicted well i guess
people could have predicted the spot if they watched well this is just hansama's in topside
So G2 taking this fight through river is kind of just bizarre, I don't think they actually, what a spot it is.
Nainter as he walked down as well as there was a ward just in that pheilite off to the left-hand side of your screen.
So yeah, just G2 odd positions and odd fights that they're taking.
Yep, and it's so funny, Dagda, in this game it's now come down to Caps or Buss, yes only 3k gold lead, but
even though Skumond has had an individual lead, and even though he's been in the right place for a while, punishing Obi,
It has been Cap's successor. It has been Cap's with 3-1 scoreline with 1.3k gold lead that needs to carry this game, get some items fast, and find the shuffle of his life in the next upcoming fight.
But I don't even think he wants the shuffle. I think he just wants to play it as safe as possible.
Yeah, better idea.
The worst thing that can happen for a G2 fight is that Paris gets a point and click ult onto Cap's, which then sets up for a re-election Kobe to finish him out.
And if that is the case, then G2 just immediately lose the fight.
As long as Cap's current stay safe, and use it in for his divide, to keep himself in the fight.
I think that's much more valuable in this sort of position.
That's a good point actually as well.
So how Cap survives, how Cap spaces is what we're going to be looking for.
3 minutes 30 to the Sol.
That's what Navi are heading towards next, an early Sol in this League of Legends game.
But in 45 seconds, Varen spawns.
And as G2 is trying to make a play on the bottom side,
It is Narvi who can hold control in the river.
Oldie comes out from Mainter who's a little bit scared as G2 continue to commit,
but three members down here, if this play goes on long enough and G2 don't get the reset,
Baron is a very real threat.
Harold now spawned top as well.
Dagger a lot committed onto Mainter.
Three members on the way.
Make it four with LeBron, but it is a scion.
As he flashes away G2, solar flare dies.
They really want this top laner to die.
Shut down the caps.
Yes, but Top is in shambles as he looks to stop the reset.
And everyone is still showing here.
So Navi, you're going to be able to take the tier two.
They will reset so then the hobby can match on midway.
Well, honestly, that's fine for Navi.
Like, I can understand where G2 were coming from that.
Look, this game is very quickly slipping from our fingers,
just trying to input as much gold into caps.
But keeping up control and all that space
and Avi on side lanes is not going to help out.
On time I'm pushed up D.
He wants me to tie up,
but he won't find it with Ralech hovering in a wing.
Two item Ralech now as well.
To be noted as well.
So with that spear of Shoja,
the rotation is going to be much easier to pull off.
But Dagda, I think if we're talking items,
we kind of need to just compare
that Sam D right now is on two items with a last whisper.
But Zephelius is getting pretty close to three.
And even though Caps just picked up two,
I mean, Sam D is the one
who's really succeeding the item game the most.
I mean he also has a reset, so he's sitting on a bunch of gold.
Oh is he?
Like I think he's just waiting so we can finish off this, uh,
Rortak in regards of G2.
You want to try and make it to the side and play?
No flash on Mainter.
Yeah, no flash.
Ulti's gonna be up in 10 seconds.
Desimating Smash avoided.
If only Joss Katz is there.
But Buffett, the Ulti literally just came up.
Now for the soul third row on the tower,
they're gonna finally take him down.
Drew Shroud comes from the corner, help out.
That was the latest Ulti I've ever seen.
SKIMON! It's on 110 ping!
As he gets out of the shockwave, Nabi looks for the chase.
Hansama holds the bridge's stretch line.
His arcane chips it away.
Nabi, the chase will continue more.
Poby flashes away. He's caught out.
He went isolated.
Hell of a problem with the punish.
Now G2 gets two man ulti, but Sandeep, even though he's fine,
some kind of revenge will only get the support.
Reletch uses ulti to that.
Sandeep as well.
Ulti down.
All up at his barren side of the map.
Neil, in the end, 2-1.
G2 are making a scrappy and it's working from them.
Another pick onto the sideline with multiple members in towards his topside.
And as he's saying, like a very late ultimates comes through from Tumont.
But it's the isolated Poby that ends up completely separated.
They try to chase G2, but Poby ends up going completely on his own in towards that topside.
And G2 happy to take the call, sure they get the brawl for us.
I mean, significantly better for G2 to get one more kill on the capped
and another kill to boot for a time-safe.
It feels like it's nearly the end because, as I said, a lot was burned.
The teleport comes through from G2, they want to fight for this dragon.
True shop Raj, Sandeep does not get tagged.
The three items now picked up for Sandeep.
He's got his Lord Dominic's regard.
The giant slayer is going to come into full effect as G2 now hover around.
That's the main expense on the brosola players there as well.
Poby has to be dorned out, but the broken blade goes in.
The shot goes fine too, and that's enough for Na'Vi.
G2 walked into the waiting arms at the greatest of some time, and his time was now!
A triple kill went over, and Relax would just take the fourth, only Hans-Sama survives,
and Sam B took out Hans from his name, and he's playing better than a man himself.
Mainz's ultimate shuts down Broken Blade, where he signs, prevents the renection from diving any further.
Anabee take their soul off the back of the seat as he moves through here.
So they go on to the brawl, get the lock in, but once you've broken the base, they're trying to slice and die through,
makes you immediately ult to keep the crop where he stands,
and it sets a perp to be done with that big AoE damage,
meaning burn him on Sam-D to take down the front line of G2.
And now Hextech's ult, Navi, showing why they're considered one of the top teams in the league right now.
4.5k gold, as you said, with that soul locked in, it's just about thinking about the Baron.
Four items picked up natively, Sundy went back and picked up a better lifeline.
I mean that was a full on perch, would have had a bit of golden pocket attack but not like this.
Teleport the Navi, Paris thinking about the dredge line.
But LeBrov moves out of range, that was Mainter joining in as well.
Control of the river held by Navi.
There's a Suntar, it's going to help G2 leverage some of the pressure with this push.
But again, you need to kill Sundy, you need to kill Poby again.
The problem is I see one of them with flash factor and I see one of them with a shockwave once more
Broke away wanted to go to the outside to deal with the wave
And let's push now Naby. I pretty kind of just take it slow and see if they can force a play here
Reletch thinking about it public execution up and available
The angle as the sign-off becomes reversed onto the process of any match
It's onto one on the two so I want to make too much Sunday went into melee and to be a dear and he's still alive
Again, lifeline helps out while the rest of the five go in pair shape.
A double over to another Felyos and three left standing.
We've had so many penta's in the LEC that G2 know if they walk into him, there's going to be one more.
Rake!
Lance, Massam, Dean, the middle of that fight from the solar flare off the broad.
He just constantly keeps up the DPS.
9 and 0 and now the Baron, G2.
I mean, what's he trying to do in this position?
They're going to open up mid to starters, but Harris is trying to cut off the angle,
but there is a bit of mobility on those two.
Watch the fight again, because Navi is just like, we can start the fight anytime.
But it's G2 pushing up too far, and it shouldn't have tried to commit for the tower until they knew.
My main target's being Gage, but watch the claims here from him, he immediately gets it to keep him up time.
And the fight is just so spread out. G2 in a line, separated by this wall.
It's as fair, like, the back line spends most of that fight running away to try and reposition.
As you said, what did G2 do now?
Six and a half K gold and games on over till it falls, but Sundee has a 5.6 K gold lead.
Oh my God.
Really started in the lane, but now it's accelerating.
In fact, Baron goes down.
It's a battle of sands, well said, but in this battle of sands there is one that
looks much greater than the other here today.
I don't think it would be very quick to stick around as now they're just going to be able
to take it down, hands still trying to cover mid, but this is so hard, Baron is doing so
much work alongside the poke from this Hex-X-O, even the fact that you have the sniper for
Sam-D means you can actually take pop shots and view these members on G200 Terror.
Very low on the ammo though, I think he's only got one Q, left in it before, yeah
it disappears. Now wave's going to shred immediately as well,
at least with the Inferno. Maitre has full push in mid. G2, you're going to have to
spread their attention, I guess, as the waves start getting pushed in.
Now they hold back. Nothing too egregious, but that mid in Atarant is going to drop
down. Maitre gets to deliver the wave into the
inhibitor atarant as well. And Rilesh, you see they're using the W to
block the Karna minion so that Hansana can clear it out as quickly as you'd like.
Makes it a little bit more difficult for G2 to try and play off of both mid and bot wave.
But this EG is just gonna continue here.
And G2 don't really have a good way of breaking this.
LeBrov has to just send himself in and hope for the best.
And that may be the call here.
Okay, well send it up.
Sol's there again, but narrowly avoided.
Sandeep's all the way in the back.
Kimmum's up there.
The caps find an angle.
Halver relays.
Never covered it.
The ulti would have been great, but Navi and Lotharity carry.
Relays is up next.
G2 can't close.
But they can't kill the ambassador!
A double kill to Raleigh, who healed up a bunch of hell at the back end of the fight.
And now Navi about to do the finish and catch the G2.
Not many teams over the years could say this, but Navi are the clear head and shoulders team.
Better than G2 right now.
Navi looking clean in this one.
Great play start to finish, good understanding of how to shut down G2's game plan and that'd be what a time here in Westerfiddler's organization.
What a time to be alive to watch his team rise to fame, however it's not over yet.
Parris still gonna get out of the hex gate but the problem's in the way.
He joked him.
Wait Parris, Parris!
The timing, oh it missed!
Already missed his interplay as well Parris, barely able to escape.
Oh my god, that is that smart that that company they got out
So this was a really good job for G2 some B didn't have plans of flashing away from solar flare
We didn't open the forecast to get the shuffle, but it's the immediate shockwave from bogey and the aoe damage from the infernal
They get G2 so low and relish. I mean he's popular in champions, but you can't give him to him
No, you got to remember and best was made in 2025 or 2024 like
You know, past three years, those champions, it's a different story.
You just can't compare.
Yeah.
A huge mistake to G2.
I mean, I kind of agree with you.
I hope your shockwaves have been good.
But I mean, I feel like it's a really good thing.
And Navi sends all the signals that they wanted to get Kobe on this Oriana in the draft.
And he's been performing.
But I think it's been Navi as a whole.
They're sending him to the cleanse.
Captain Jack is back.
Sandi has a GA now though.
Solo flip down for a little bit.
Yes, they got the cleanse, but Navi still poised and positioned ready to fight.
Reledge with an angle on a ward that'll save G2, but Elders up as G2 looked to coalesce
in this small gap of vision as he made it with the decimating smash.
They continue to chase, but Navi looking for the fight, not the dragon.
Decimating smash again, Gretz line in, cast to the angle, the hard stand B into the G8.
He will go, but G2 has to win the fight now.
Reledge already got a double, a one-man shot, but it might look bad, but it doesn't matter.
A triple over to Reledge, he doesn't get the fourth, it's Hans Sam D, who's better than Sam A!
Navi with the ace, and this time they'll take it home!
Navi find the face, this time there's no one left to hold and you can see the smiles on the bottom of your screen.
Navi are chuffed with this one.
And they deserve it, this team came out of the woods work, put all these parts together,
And now, they're better than G2!
Huge plays from Navi.
This team just continues to impress.
And I'm just excited to see what they can do with playoffs.
Like this for me just feels like they've been leveling up every week.
Yeah.
And they will have to see what they can achieve in the best of threes.
I love the adaptation.
Obi was getting ganked along and was like,
okay we're going to play on the other side of the map.
They were very concise with their calling.
I think that's what made them dominate G2 who right now a little bit of a mixed bag
Drew Popey's birthday it is
Totally forgot but Popey's not out there for play there, you know what Popey you can be our player of the game
But everyone else vote now at LECO next relapse San Diego
Yeah
That is a tough player of the game anyway because I feel like Poby, he got focused a lot, really big team fights from him though, like you said, you know the Shockwave in the last and even in the previous.
Poby, happy birthday. Very well deserved game and win from Navi.
Yep, and again I think it's just they have a very clear understanding of how they want to try and play things.
It's Reletch taking these early skirmishes, finding success around his bottom side and then making sure they can move through that.
moves through that and I want to hear what some D has to say to Draco's finger
guns this one is a legend let us know how he's keeping show us the finger gun
thank you very much gentlemen it is my distinct pleasure to be joined by another
than some D some D I know you wanted to play against Han Sama for a while you
finally did tell me a little bit about the experience I'm pretty happy like
first time I met Han Sama and I win and I'm really happy now it makes a
a lot of sense. Now, yeah, a little plausible, yeah, introspectable. Aphelios, it's looking
way too strong. Do you think people will start to ban it away from you?
I mean, people can start, but Korean appeal is special.
It does certainly feel like it's built different. This Navi roster overall has been super,
super strong. How are you feeling knowing you're going into playoffs, knowing that
you guys are in such good form?
I mean, we have kind of rookie roster, but I think we are doing pretty well, but now it's PO1, we'll have playoffs, so we need to see more.
Definitely a fair conclusion. Thank you so much, Samdi. Congrats again on the dominant win for the fellas.
Everyone, can we give it up for Samdi?
Thank you.
Yeah, thanks, Berlin. You're doing incredible. Let's send it over back to the analyst desk to break down some of the crazy plays from that one.
Guys, take it away.
Amazing, amazing. Korean Apulios hits different, but you know what else hits different?
Reledge in the jungle. He told me last time I had him on the desk, I'm the main guy for the team.
Prove it once again.
I mean, we talk about him every week, I feel like. He must be the star of this team, and he absolutely is.
The magic that he makes happen in the early game is beautiful to see, and having a rookie play with this degree of confidence is exactly what we want to be seeing from our rookies in the LEC.
And what I've been so happy about is just his consistency
because we see these rookies that have one good game here and there
but Reletch is just, it feels like he doesn't really miss.
He doesn't have a terrible game.
He's always consistently the top performer for Navi
and that alongside his explosive jump pool
just means it's been such a joy to watch.
And he should have had a pen to kill that game.
Okay, some of you may have jointed a little bit.
Like, yeah, that right belongs to the 80 carries
but my goodness, like, what an impressive team.
They've had an incredible debut to the LEC versus
And we had mixed expectations for Navi, but they've done nothing but deliver and congratulations for locking in that spot in the playoffs.
And that's the thing. We kept on saying that this team has one way to fight, they have one way to draft, but game after game after game, I feel like they keep on proving us that they belong at the top of the table.
Yeah, and this fight here is just like the perfect angle for Aphelios, and that transitions well into Sombia.
I'd say he also had a fantastic game, and he's been such a key pillar for this team alongside Reletch.
And I just feel like these pieces are coming together way better than I could have expected,
and it's such a pleasant surprise to the league.
Reledge is the key player of the game here.
Is there anything that we would want to see more from this guy?
More picks? Absolutely!
I feel like in the feelers it's just going to benefit him.
You want to ban out his ambassador, ban out his atrox,
I'm excited to see what else he's got left for us.
Something I want to check though, because as Navi is winning G2 keeps on losing,
are we starting to get worried for G2?
I know we had dinner on the desk last week,
But for me, that's clearly not enough knowing that they can show up later because they might run out of time
I'm sorry to get worried. They're tied with Loser Thons
I mean like and Loser Thons started 0-4. This is a G2
We talked about earlier today that we give them some leeway, right? That G2, they're always gonna scale
They're always gonna make it, but this is the worst
I've seen them look in a long long time and even when Cap had great place this game on the ACR
It's not enough the pieces around them are just found. I've fallen for this track
I've been here too many years like yes right now G2 is looking shaky in this meta in this
environment in in the standings but I still have full confidence that they're going to
be able to qualify to playoffs I still have full confidence that when it matters most they're
going to deliver just because we've seen them too many times in this situation but
it is true that like you saw the repo on your screen that it's a some of the decisions
they're making, the coordination has disappeared. And at the end of last year, we were praising
LeBrov and Skiwon for finally syncing up and really driving the team forward. Right now
it feels like all the pieces are very separated and it's very different from the G2 of 2025
at the end that we saw compared to the 2026 version we're getting now.
Crazy for a team that stayed together because there's zero elements that changed within
this team and the coaching staff. And you know what's the beauty of it? It's all
going to come down to a game between them and Fanatic because you need to win
This game to qualify for playoffs tomorrow but that's a story for another day as for now we're gonna take a break
We'll be back for KC versus GX. Yes, we will stay tuned
But you guys think about the fact that
Think about our game first
Thank you for signing it for silent for silent
We win we win we win
I'm right
I'm right
I'm right
I'm right
I'm right
I'm right
Hey!
Brother, brother, let me try.
Wait!
Brother.
Brother, let us break this instead.
Brother.
Have a break. Have a KitKat.
What is this, brother?
Perfection.
Red Bull gives you wings.
Hey there. Every season starts the same way. Everyone wants to win.
But not everyone prepares the same way.
I can't wait to show you what I have in store.
And trust me, this year, everyone's leveling up.
You
They can catch you out of guard because I think they are a bit crazy and of course their playstyle can be really good or really bad.
I think today, for example, they also showed that they could come back into G2, which is something that is pretty good for them as well.
I think Knuckles playing really well as well, he's the best player from the enemy team.
He's overheating with his autos and he's burning Stuman down to a crescent.
Yeah, I would say just you really need to be careful with how chaotic they usually make the games.
I would say that they cannot rely on that, but anyways, yeah.
I think they are one of the best team as well from the league, I would say so.
Yes, predict the unpredictable. That's vitality right now.
right now this roster is crazy and not just the 80 carry but the whole damn thing
like humanoid can have a big field day and cars it can be the most insane 80
carry but then also they can absolutely run it down and knock knock as I boys
what are we doing up I am so confused by this by Tali but I'm gonna love every
second of it especially going up against MQA as we're now in draft
curious that the mouth like that MQA might be trying to set up for a
Jace's first pick early rotation here hasn't really been high-party in Europe compared to the rest of the world
But sort of very strong pick even with the slight nerves that it got
Yeah, I'm curious if that's at least the angle because now it is here in Oriana gone though
Also those two main midlaners taken off, but I I think that's kind of helped out humanoid. He's been much stronger
Like I feel like you know, I've really enjoyed it
Taliyah in the most of the game.
I mean, his OE was the same.
That's what I'm saying.
That's his kind of team.
They're just going to pull out some pocket picks and pop off.
Speaking of pocket picks, they're getting more popular, actually.
The Mundo has taken away even the Ori pairing as well.
And Azir's gone.
So it does feel like maybe to Unara first pick angle,
maybe with Ori gone as well.
Like, that Taliyah could be a higher focus
if they want to get a bit of min-batch up.
Rumble gone too.
The biggest question is MQo with first pick here.
What's it's at the top and it's not bad?
It's either the Jace, which the Malphite would say to me that they're trying to go,
and there it is, but it does mean as you say you can go for Tiliyavai,
you can go for Pantheon Tiliy if you want to as well in this sort of situation,
and you can also just go straight for the rides and take the Pantheon alongside it,
so you definitely got options, but setting up for a very strong mid-jungle
is probably the call here for my top.
There's one part of it and let's see the other. I mean, again, I think we're whispering closer and closer toward that place.
That's probably when you're able to zone control. Ynara also a big question mark as the Premier 80 carries still up and available.
But I know Super Narvao and I know that they have things like Super. They have Kofi, they have Ezreal.
They're both bellios. I wouldn't worry too much about the champion pool if you're an MQF fan.
Yeah, so taking the Ynara here, basically saying, hey, we're happy to guess either Taliyah or Ryzen is in this situation.
And if Mkoi don't take away one of them, or take a mid laner here, well then we're actually happy to just take whatever our preference is and ban away mid other mid laners to make JoJo get a little bit more comfortable.
So I like the way Vitality have opened up the draft, but for Mkoi I mean you can take things like Ezreal if you want in this bottom side, they're already going to take that rise to try and help out with the Jace.
But yeah, poke, kind of is the name of the game, you can go for it here as an employee with the draft, and even hovering the two picks.
That three picks that they think humanoid might take here.
It's been a bit cheeky with it as well, with Corky locked in, okay.
Again, I said Super has a lot of options for an AD carry.
One with a little bit more mobility, adding to the poke mix as well.
How do you stop that as vitality? More engage.
That guy would like to see is oh, oh, yes again. Why not? Why don't we match range with range?
And I do like it. I mean he looked very good in the Zoe last time so we'd like to see if you can have a similar performance this time around
But yeah, my time we've been able to answer these some of this and if you take more engage
I mean so we can still work out pretty well from that position as well
I'm looking forward to it. A3 to a 9, remember again that was the versus shifters. That was
when we just strangely got the nuke swine. That was just a crazy game in general, but
as you said, QBnoyd big carry there as well. And what do you do? Do you need to ban safeguards
for the Zoe? I guess Sion is one frontline that's going to be annoying for her.
Yeah, you kind of want to just get rid of stuff that can tank the bubble. So even
it. Cosante. Wouldn't be the
world because he can use the
that's kind of where they're
and then for M. I think you
to here for Alvaro. Poke is
in general, but you definitely
like, oh, now I can close the
when you've actually done i
that would be in the hands
I'm curious what Mira wants
The rumble of the Cassante and the Sion have been the three picks that he has kind of gone to the most.
There's one of the renegedy game in there.
No, it's actually going to be the Mami van.
So, the Cassante there for Mirren if you want.
Getting spicy, isn't it?
He talked about range and engage for Emkoi.
What if it was something like the Leona?
Because we've seen Buccio play and we've seen success on it.
I mean, even in the last game, in the envelope,
Robert didn't look too well.
We've seen more and more Leona in the league.
And when we add range and we know Leona is one of the best long range engagers.
But that's also that has a reasonably short cooldown.
So that's going to be in the back of my mind.
Final band from MQoy is the Anfesa.
Which maybe indicated they thought
Linsus is going to call Jungle.
I think it's the Cassante.
They want to just blow in Cassante in this situation.
Because you imagine Vitality will take their support here,
poor Fleshy.
And they're actually going to take away the Cassante
themselves, so basically reading the call here,
and saying McNako's happy enough.
So I wonder what MQoy wants to try and take in response.
Nah.
You go now into the Cassante matchup and play for the lane, Dagda.
I mean, now is not the end of the world because they do have to try and play into you.
But Renekton could also be the call.
I know it looks a bit funky when you've got poke on the rest of your team,
but especially if you know, part of the end is to jump into you,
Cassante is to jump into you, you can do okay.
And it does mean that you will get outscaled by the Cassante
once you kind of hit that two, two and a half items.
Groups.
Maybe that's where Miro wants to go here.
I mean, maybe you got to get a snowball effect on this comp anyway, right?
because it does feel like it's going to be very proactive early, Poppy gets locked in as well.
So, what I am seeing, Dr, is I'm seeing a lot of disengage options,
but I'm seeing a lot of follow-up to the range as well.
The Enquay get to pick their fight. Well, Vitality looked to steamroll in.
Maybe CC's one target. Maybe find the angles as well with the help of Humanoid.
How do you follow this up? You need engage, right? That's what it said.
Nico gets locked in. Yeah, I think that was kind of the one pick that you had left because Nautilus was taken away
Alistair and rel have a terrible time into the coffee. Yep
So Nico kind of the one champion the least to try and get in on to the fight with that big old
So to start things off, but I do like to jump the barred the pre-emptive barred from Alvaro
It's the matchup that you tend to go to into Nico anyway
Yeah, just because you can try and push keeper at range
And you do have that ultimate to try and deny any follow-up once that Nico pops the pop loss
Okay, well for playoffs for a guaranteed lock for M-CoA in Vitality, these are the drafts.
We got a bit of range from M-CoA, Dagnar feels like a little bit riskier as well, but I will
say when Zoe's also in the game, Zoe doesn't get to lead early, can feel majorly useless
if at 15-20 you haven't snowboard or you're not able to help out with some of those picks.
Like I've seen many Zoe's full ball wayside, so I don't know, when was your favorite
draft here man?
I mean they both do somewhat similar things right and I think having the Zoey is really nice into the draft that Mkoi have
because obviously you want to try and set up and then use poke but with the walls that are around dragon area
it makes it much easier for somebody to try and set up for these trouble bubbles at long range engage
that makes it a bit more difficult for Mkoi to just kind of sit there
and which is perfect because you need to kind of be on point here as humanoid to start off the fight
But he's worked with Lynn's sister to start off fights because you're an agent, so that isn't...
Because otherwise there will be no fight. M-CoY vs. Vitality, a playoff lock-in, starts now in its best of one.
Someone's going away for they very, very happy.
And as we said in the lead-up as well, you know, for Vitality, they've just been this crazy roster.
But to be fair, M-CoY, you could say the same thing this split.
Like, they started out okay, but then they lost to shifters.
And then it was like oh, yeah, no MQay still the strongest team we have and then it was like wait
What happened in the Lost for Tones game and then they lost the team heretics at the end of life
There's just no telling what form MQay are in. It's like vitality. That's why this is gonna be perfect
I'm a little sad though of the top let match up that we have because yeah mirror in that knacko
I was hyper excited for I was like this is gonna be sick
This is what we got and then rumble was bad and I was like, oh my god
I'm from Tesco. Oh my god
Yeah, it's looking like a bit of a meal deal up here
It's kind of just oh well
By one you get rid of the rumble you get another one free in the poppy, which is
A diesel matchup. I will say into the casante, but it's uh
Not exactly the the crazy matchup that I was hoping
Very well said me. It is a little bit crazy though
I mean humanoid will keep our eyes on as well. He's taking ghost here as the secondary and
see how he can run down Jojo and see what lincis can do. I mean I feel like lincis role
mega important here on the pantheon to make sure Jojo stays down. Actually really interesting
we'll hang on. A bit of a trade, double root though comes through, barrier to help out Karzy.
Diesel tempo up and active as a little sprout comes here from Fleshy.
Enquired half HP, Alvaro a little bit more so. Yeah so Karzy and Fleshy having the double
That summoner spell helped him out there a little bit in the trade
But I do want to say I like both JoJo and super buffed it in for the cleanse
Specifically so that then they can try and get away from these engage from vitality
Understand hey, we can just try and pay from range Valensis three camping to bot side no words available
Timing might be perfect as well super thing about backing up there a little bit sus here
But if they walk in a brush, maybe I'm wrong what gets placed down Avro with no mana fruit flashes well super flashes
But there is Lensis!
He was wading into the sky, then the first double kill goes down and Lensis sets up the game.
Nicely played by Lensis, waits for the wave, so then he can be out of vision as MQoy step up to try and answer for the wave push,
but also holds off on using that stun, so he can use it on Alboros secondly, but Elioya...
Elioya just walked over a wall, this might be three kills, he's gonna flash the wave,
But Linsus did and burned him before Rallikazi did not!
And Max ran to the auto!
Third kill as a huge mistake from El Yoia gives Vitality even more.
Vitality are already well in the swing of things as they end up making this play on the bottom side.
Linsus stays out of vision, great setup for Fleshy,
but see that way Linsus holds on to the W knowing that Super was already dead,
which then sets up for the next kill.
But this was greedy from El Yoia.
I think trying to contest the scuttle, thinking maybe Vitaliy had already recessed, but he
burned his flash and now he's dead and in the mid lane, humanoid.
The damage down, Cho just run out of mana though, Fleshy comes towards mid to help out.
The movement came from Alvaro as well.
Okay, well one person said that MQoy shouldn't have gotten all that, now this person said
that Vitaliy comps looking good.
I mean, you know, Kumpter has three kills at three minutes, and the next 30 health.
They got three kills. This comps very good.
If that came through a little bit earlier, maybe it would have believed you.
But 1.3k gold lead, easy to say is Humanoid.
Needs help getting push out through mid lane.
That gold lead is massively on lintess by the way.
Tunneler already picked up.
Even though Alvaro is hovering around mid.
It's like more important. In fact, the jungler is nearby.
Trouble bubbles there. Alvaro keeps helping out with the Tango barbs again.
As Blooming Burst gets Jojo quite low.
Humanoid, he's still not backing away Dagger. He wants to make sure he doesn't miss this wave
I set up watch here. This is his here. Just gonna flash
Banger barbs connect again onto Alvaro trouble bubbles or snuff though. Otherwise that might have been another kill
Yeah, the trouble ball missing kind of puts it down for on that play for fatality
But still we're telling her a good spot Alvaro forced the ball losing force to commit
We want to come in to help out Jojo try and punish humanoid
But even though it picks up the majority of the CS, it's set up for a little bit of a freeze for Karzy, so he's opening up a little bit more of a lead.
But hell, coming in behind.
All angles, read the bot, or lead the bot, I should say, Karzy.
He's in trouble and he might get out of here a little bit too late.
It's a good cosmic body against the MinuAven.
Now Yo-Yo pulls the same angle.
Nice job by M-Koi. You can see Karzy had a ward down in River and was looking at his jungler and going,
going oh okay well you're on your comes means that area has to be safe but
Empire matches sneak around and use that portal to perfectly set up the kill
both junglers get a piece of action in bot super gets up gets played in mid against
some of the earlier gold leap of vitality still well in control of this
game and CS is quite even in bot it's not a little bit cars he's cited as
super sticking around the reason to back against as well he's already got
he's got the tier, he's stacking up, but will bounce out as well and this also gives a bit of time for Alvaro to see what he can make of mid.
As Linsus is there, just waiting, maybe the timing's off, Crollbubble's there.
Even though his numbers have vanished, Linsus looking for the kill and Alvaro's down.
A one for one, even as though Linsus is in between two people and shut down to JoJo
and in hindsight, Dagger, I don't know if that was worth it for Vitality.
I don't think it really was. Sure, it's nice, Linsus getting all these kills, but you really would like some of these to be going on towards Humanoid or Karzy.
Like, if Pantheon is going to have a difficult time really getting into fights, I mean, the kill going to JoJo, I think it only helps that end point and trying to play through sideways.
He got a shutdown, Dagby. You just got to rise there, shut down. Linsus may be getting a bit too hyphy.
The hard boss in the background is a bit too loud, needs to turn it down, change Spotify song, and go back to the jazz.
Because I feel like right now, this guy needs his first item, right?
And then maybe the 2v3 works out.
Are you following my trying to thought?
Need him.
OK.
What do you listen to when you play League?
What's the song for?
I actually don't listen to music.
You don't listen to music.
I'm on that side.
You turn the game sounds up to you.
Yeah, game sounds up, yeah.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
But then how am I supposed to listen to the sound
of the next ability?
I mean, I can put that up.
But I also put like Elton John on.
I'm still standing.
Classic, believe it.
Yeah.
Really good.
Which is ironic because you keep dying.
I don't know, but when I was getting to Admiral Fad, that dog was off repeated.
I was dying a lot less as a top laner.
It's good advice from me for once I'm self-proclaimed.
Dragon is up. We're fighting over these scenes.
The JoJo comes in first, so she has to be careful about where he steps in this river.
I'm calling out this dragon because, Dagger, the timing is coinciding with Grubbs.
Up in 45, it does feel like it might be split focus here.
I think we have bottom river for now, but those Grubbs are more curious
as the timing gets closer.
The humanoid is just reset, which will give MQoi a push in mid.
And because Mesh was trying to help out on mid,
it means that MQoi is going to have control over this bottom side of the map as well.
So it should give an angle for MQoi to set up here.
I'm curious if he'd just have a trade for my Taliyah for his top side.
Although Linsus is sitting around in this bottom bush.
He has level 6.
It all takes an ulti.
Super, it's corky.
Plus Alvaro.
I wasn't finding no ulti, but still, the bot has tools to help survive.
Jojo reset as well, picks up Merc's red zone in the back, so now gonna answer for pushing mid,
and you can see he's winning that up against Humanoid, which means that off of clearing
at these camps, I think with Jojo's push, M-Point can try and take river position,
the only problem is Karzy's now been able to answer for the bot side push as well,
You're kind of now swapping where you have that position in the map, for example.
Just side note as well, when you talk about JoJo, it's an aisle of humanoid.
It's kind of proving your point, it's a more like good position here for the rise.
And then hovering you talk about, I mean, the OVO is just now going to move it up towards the groves up in top lane.
But if Baradens are getting spot on this ward, which it looks like he might be,
there's an opportunity for the Pantheon to immediately look for a play on the bottom side of the map.
So I don't think Alvaro showed on a was just hovering, because you can see JC is on those void groves.
Void Grubbs, I wasn't sure if he needed to be positioned there, but now showing back in bot lane,
it'll just be a trade of the objectives and bot side.
So very hard to pick out when he has charms up and he's got that full 5 stack,
move at speed galore. His dragon does go down, Provol misses here in mid lane,
Humanoid stepping up to JoJo, Lens is still nearby, but he's just passing.
Unless she's been constantly roaming as well, but JoJo is just uncappable.
You do look at top lane, NuckNuckro looking for the play, and everyone flashes the way
this one's salty and me when it's just out summoner burn for the cost of
blinks is up the flash being down obviously not ideal for Miran but I
think for vitality they really wanted to try and make some sort of play and you
knew that boy groups are just not down because of the sound that it makes so
we're trying to make a counter punch on towards the top side but if I make it
happen still I mean you get the dragon for vitality so they're fine yeah it's
just I think they're really hoping to be able to get the plan to knock down
Has that ulti, me when... still has his available as well, he just shielded me out by the way.
I was expecting a lot more, but Poppy had E.
So that's over.
He's having another escape too?
Yeah.
It's good to see a Season 1, Season 2 champ actually step up because of that, you know?
But does she really count? Because she got the rebound.
Yeah, that is true.
And if she still exists and in Season 1, no one would be able to be Poppy.
True.
Because that ultimate was insane.
Everyone but you cannot hurt me. There's a flash. Wish I had the ulti now.
Using onto Kassate maybe, but Mewen's dead regardless. Right guys?
Slowly, but surely. Right guys? Q. Mewen dodged. He's gonna die to the turret, right guys?
Yep. Okay. Nuttmugger gets a kill eventually after wasting a bit of time.
Miss Phil, why don't you get the wave? It was a nice play return gank from Linsus
to actually make that play a success. He is losing his entire blot side.
It's a M-Coy.
And this is not just going to be a blue buff, it's going to be Cromp as well.
I'm the wave.
There's a crazy camera to get back in.
You're going to have, Linz is trying to link up with them here, trying to retake this position.
But JoJo is also hovering.
Mike, top blossom.
Only onto the enemy jungle, but Elioia, even after a tempered fate goes down.
A great tempered fate to probably save Alvaro's life, as humanoid's on the way.
Heal at a very fast, though he...
Got a magical journey all the same.
Gets Alvaro out of harm's way.
Linsus picking up another kill there. Just on Elioia trying to take a little bit too much
I think they should have been happy with just the blue buff and that wave loss on the bottom side because Karzy
Was seeking with about a 300 gold lead on the bot lane now very much evened up
But ends up giving across a little bit more still I think these kills going to linsus are definitely less than ideal for vitality because
wait and
Linsus is unless he gets some really good ultimates
It's just gonna struggle to try and take these fights and has to just ult and send himself in because of the range
Not vitality half. So these kills going on to like Karzy or even if it's a humanoid I think would have much more success
Well alright unless of course it glances keeps snowballing and becomes unbeatable
Then maybe vitality here that we're rolling today. I know what you're saying that humanoid back Karzy is looking at the flip again
You're loud, but he won't what can he do? Oh he's not in time. He was trying to wind it up and Naka Naka just pierced him right through the heart
Flash, no Alburo, he's a natural journey instead.
Meanwhile, Elia wants to keep on fighting, but that's simply a clone.
Solo kill for Nak Nakko, I mean this is why this guy is the best top laner.
This man has been absolutely insane this place.
And yeah, I think at this stage Nak Nakko is the best top laner of the LEC versus.
He's been absolutely incredible.
And they're getting on the business end of the Cassante right now.
Well, NACNACO is going to make sure that wave is pretty pushed in.
Bit denied the top tower and the next wave is going to crash in as well.
Mewen doesn't have TP, his realm warp is used.
Hello, Jojo's going to make sure that wave's not hit.
I think he's looking for the kill.
I think he was hoping that NACNACO was taking the cheesy recess and just hit the bush.
But NACNACO actually walked out so he doesn't at least get interrupted
but it won't be the kill going across and that's realm warp down there for Jojo.
I can't go into the TP if he wants to catch the wave.
is still backing off but remember home guard exist so
lose too much JoJo Mrs. Trouble level or rather humanoid completely whiffs it
JoJo also just picked up quest by the way and if we're talking about quests I
mean raw quests are picked up earlier for mqoy so a bit of an advantage here
40 seconds from Drake. I don't think it's the end of the world is nicely done by
humanoid there to interrupt the resets from JoJo. What's in that bubble you reckon?
Haha, it's sleeping pill. Haha, my lord.
JoJo, if he gets hit by one again, I mean I'm still waiting for Linsus to accompany
it. As we're focusing on bot, seems to be that the
2v2 just never ends. Elio is also here once again. Wait for the poke.
I think I'll be the one who lines into it. Yes he is. Okay. That's some damage from
Elio, yeah.
Nicely done by Encoy because I was looking at where JoJo was. He just reset. Doesn't
realm war so vitality should have been able to pressure in the 3v4 but the
center of the shot glass for Mel Yoya are doing work and forcing vitality back
from this dragon. You know this is a start sending it out like kind as well.
Dragons are offered available, Mkoi moving towards a vitality got the first.
This would slow down that dragon stacking that here in the LEC just
seems too overpowered as linsus doesn't want to face check and Mkoi
completely holds rivets of themselves. This is kind of whole queer talking
out. It's Vitaliy, you want to take the immediate flight but Mkoi just needs to continue to back
his Humanoid on the flank.
Go far ball, tamper, fate flushed away from my Humanoid. The Enigo Jogo there as well.
Poe doesn't connect from Lentis but does from Mel Yoya. We once again continue the
trade over Dragon but Mkoi's still in front of it. This is my pretty Lentis one, but
the steal and gets it. Pop loss and run the flank as well to Humanoid. Helps
get the bird's vitality. Snap engage! Not only they take the objective, they
just took the hearts away from Mkoi.
Frank from flashy sets up the play emquay card in the piss and vitality punish
And now we look towards top again knock knocko gets everything he wants that more with a flip back through damage
And me when I'm the tower gets the ulti response. He's not done
Nako is gestante and that is just better
Knacknacko just seems like he's better on every single champ at this moment in time.
His mumble wasn't saying last week that Cassante looking clean this week.
Vitality. Honestly, this is an incredible performance.
And again, winner locks playoffs.
And it's Vitality who are looking much cleaner at the moment.
I see here Fleshy uses the W to bypass the ward vision
vision so then he can get the ult. And again, back back up, should pop it off in this top
side. But we slow it down because as he starts to go through here, it's right at the end,
where he ends up running away. So it doesn't end up taking the second half of the Q damage.
Then just barely gets the timer on the shield. No way, you know.
I know! I agree! I think the world does!
Play a newer champion. Brother, I mean...
No discredited enough, NAKO. This is supposed to be a good matchup, but
that early Gang from the Incist just gave the lead to NAKNAKO
and he's absolutely running away with it now, thanks to that early play.
NAKO in control, Mewen in tatas,
1700 gold lead just on top alone, and first turret
just went over to Humanoid and that was up in top lane as well. Pressure through mid,
Amkoi gonna trade through bot. Amkoi are trying to trade for the Rift Charal, which you can see is
just started by Linsus, but the tower was already taken so it's still a net positive play for Vitality
and especially if they can continue to keep this pressure in around this top side.
No camps, have spawned up there. Linsus won't be able to take them, but they're still a very
But Herald's open up mid right?
I mean it's still so much gold on the map for Vitality to play through.
Right now, even though there's no campsite back there, look at the deep vision.
It's just been applied by Fleshy as they make their return.
And Fleshy also picks up Protobelt, so got a lot of mobility, a lot of damage coming
forward as well, especially with the double finish that the Humanoid will be that
Hexhex Ultration eventually.
Eventually what a turnaround for photography because the first week. I was not convinced by this roster at all
It did not look like you're gonna be able to bring it together
But the last couple of the games have been very very impressive, but now stand on the course
taking their employ
Not go again pop blossom find only one but it might just be enough with you all that not going to front of two faces
And that's who will be great. Alvaro is definitely dead
Well, meanwhile chase down his own yoyo as soon as vitality find a target they snap
They take hooray for vitality and they immediately make that collapse and now should be this mid-lanche air going down
Rip channels just place has been escorted in by lintz's
And I don't really think there's much the super can do to hold on to this housing stuff before though
Jojo as well, maybe that's why lintz's students stick around cause he would just get to push out and then we'll see is
Now the big play, two members snapped like that.
Yeah, but Contestant in positions that they really shouldn't be.
Nobody was up on that top lane, so they knew that Fatalic were missing off the map.
And you're against the Pantheon that is always going to be able to come through.
And even in the middle of a knack-knack-hole, nice play to just separate to go for Alvaro,
because he knows the rest of the team are going to have to pick off Lioia.
Real honourable mention of Fleshy, like, he's like, Fleshy's being fantastic.
And I think Fleshy this season has also just been a ramp up as well like last year
I just remember feeling kind of middling on him like there's some good games
But mostly it was kind of man. This feels like Fleshy's having his best performance yet
And what a time to as well, you know, it is all the ramp up towards first stand. It is one team dagger
I do feel like M. Koi were favorites coming into the season
Maybe it's the top team if not the top team after the end of last year, after what they did for damage at MSI.
I mean, getting to MSI, I should say.
A lot of people were looking at them as the favourites, plus I think at this stage there's been too much inconsistency on their wins.
So they kind of just slipped from that position and now, I mean here Vitality looking at least in a very good spot at the moment to take over this game
and put themselves in playoffs ahead of Emcoy, which says a lot kind of about where they've fallen.
And I think a lot of that is to, hey, we're trying to overforce on Blaze.
I think that's seen in this game, right? They overforced in the initial skirmish,
and the end of getting picked off. Here we go.
Okay, keep an eye. It's getting game though, so it looks good until the whole team showed
up from Emcoy. Yeah, and we'll be the tower taking off the back of it as well for Emcoy.
So, uh, humanoid, getting part in the side lane as dragon's been taken and also that mid lane turret's been taken.
And bot turret went down the squirrel.
Yeah.
So maybe not too bad from Vitality, but humanoid...
It's... it's in those situations where you just have to give up the tank.
Yeah.
Like, you know you're already trading, cause you're trading top for boss, and you're getting mid, and you're getting the dragon, so like, give them the free kill.
It's so for me. When Zoe hit the bu-
When you hit a bubble, as a Zoe, you think, I've got a fresh Q, I've got a portal jump in there.
Because when you hit that Q at like max range and you see the health bar go down, that's better than scrolling any tick tock.
That is a feeling your health bar goes down immediately after.
I mean that's when it cuts off. That's coming back to reality as all things should.
There's balance in the world. Temperate, fleshy, side step was smooth.
I know he's tight, son.
He should be.
Fleshy's feeling himself. I'm loving this. This is a great verge of deflation.
There's a barn burner of a game from him, assuming I get poked out.
Let's not forget for Emcoy, their poke comes down to L.E.O.A.
And it's been very, very strong.
He's getting more of that, needs to get some more of these picks.
Super almost put out with a trouble bubble.
Well, Farron is the thought, but is it really going to be the process here for Vitality?
I think it's more about putting pressure on the Jojo so he has to back away.
It means that Humanoid can then go up and collect that wave.
I'm trying to get some of the vision that Alvaro established,
because a lot of this for Emcoy is understanding
We've lost control of mid push. We don't really have waves on sides we've been playing through because of lintz's
So we have to just take what we can get and try and very quickly establish vision that will get cleared out
But at least keeps Jojo safe for a little bit
We're going to bot lane on the mid map because top laners have been fighting just probably getting to that point where they're so tanky that
That slows down a little bit here. They did lose a portion not a very large portion
I mean, Naknako is almost 2,000 gold ahead, he's 40 CS up, he has 4 kills now, and it looks like that Jack's show most likely coming third here
Which means Naknako is going to be near unkillable in these fights.
Can I see on the flank though, JoJo?
Right, good angle, JoJo's slowed down, just pops into the ulti and how easy it is.
JoJo with a roam all back, you think he's safe and yes he is, but he has to flash for it.
It's a nice pick attempt from Vitality, but JoJo's got tools.
If the trouble bubble didn't land so there was no CC to prevent the rise from taking that
And I mean sure flash down
Emcoy
Sorry for vitality
I think they want to try and set up more vision in around this bar and because if you can make a play like that and actually force
The kill now onto Jojo. Yeah, that's where you can set up for the bar and I think also transcendent
It's not a big cool down the Tarby so yeah
You're right to set up the follow-up from that is gonna be really important Jojo
no realm war with that flashes also gonna be a question in the back of our
minds as that takes away some of the mobility here from M.Coy and they haven't
been super mobile like Alvaro on this bar it's funny hasn't been as mobile or
agile as fleshy in this game on the Nico it's been a completely different story
yeah I do think though that M.Coy are at least playing on this top half well
just tell me basically what they're constantly doing is playing off of this
line of vision which is allowing Joe to play quite far up and contest these
wave states that he really shouldn't be able to and a lot of that is
because Alvaro has just been positioned constantly as they appear, just standing there all the
time and actually there's a word essentially to make sure that you can get Jojo out either
with the magical journey or whatever he needs to and it is meaning that Vitality can't use
this mid push as effectively as they would want to.
So I think for Vitality this is where they can have to make a call, either all in on
mid to draw Alvaro down and or they have to invest multiple resources at the topside
to try and deny that push, but within a minute and a half now
until the Dragon, this is where you kind of have to shift your focus
the bottom side, which does make it a little bit more difficult.
You can't get that vision down, it's huge. If you can't contest River
for Vitality, Zoe becomes less and less useful as well, right, Dagger.
Deep vision for Zoe is everything when you play off these angles so
consistently in the middle late game. Dagger for Vitality as well, let's
just put a side note out there. As Baron's sitting up and being the
can test a part of the map right now. In a minute, Dragon Soul comes up and that's when
really they can start cooking and drawing M.Coy between. That's when Vitality should
really show us their macro to use a fancy word. And how they get that soul, how they
can test a Baron, one or the other. They have the choice and that's what's so big
about their game save right now.
Resets from M.Coy and they're already set up in River. This, uh, Sportacrack
going to do a lot of work for helping with the movement speed where they want to try and just look for hope.
But Vitality, on mass, now they're near it, just seeing if they can find anything here.
Choked out a little bit his knock-knocker, but it won't really matter.
Shroff Blaster connects onto Humanoid.
They need Humanoid, they need Karzin.
Both need to go down.
Vitality moving as a five-man clump as Jojo's dealing with a mid-wave.
Superzel, you're hovers in the brush.
Lenses looking to face-check, gets a stun up, a Valkyrie buffer.
Man went disengages, Lenses, but the trouble bubble stops the play.
Tempest's face keeps him places fleshy with a defensive ulti while JoJo has the perfect angle
that humanoid. His angle scares me more. Mewen though. He just control bubble doesn't matter.
Chuck Blast doesn't really matter. Lister's still low, but now Super runs into a paddle star.
The zone being controlled yet again here is from a far arc later on from Karthi.
No one dies. A bit of damage from some carries, but in the end, no one dies.
Now Knackle pulls out the dragon so M-Cloak can't start it immediately
because they know that their resets are coming through, and Mpoi already two feet back down.
Aaron, they just get away. Over the wall, Cubenoid. Almost a bit of a mistake. He gets
chunked for it. He gets punished for it. Needs a trouble bubble. Connects under Jojo.
Black Tality trying to walk in. He's now fleshy with an angle, but he has no ulti for that
angle. Hangabar doesn't connect either. Troubles on downtown. Cubenoid's got a target.
The burst is there under Alpero. He now causes blindings away, but it looks towards the left.
As Linsus has to flash, Mpoi chasing enemy jungle, but they're in a clump.
Juvenile in the range finds it on the super that meanwhile it took an enemy team to take down
Nostno top laner down Grave boss in the bin and Mirwin stands his ground doing something similar
against Vitality as Juvenile is the next probably connects again Juvenile has his flash avail but
look at the poke from Enkoi. The resets are faster from Vitality as Karthim making a back end
of the map but Vitality the dragon pulp by Mirwin means it resets so Vitality don't really
have the health bars to contest this they need to start fishing once more
humanoid doesn't have TP in base so Vitali need to take this slow as MQoy
set up in river once more.
Fleshy has that ultimate once again and he's got flash but there's gonna have to be a
lot of follow-up here if they choose to fight dragon going down very quick
Nierwind is playing zone control and soul is now quickly denied by
Vitali looking for the fight after the fact that fleshy needs again a
here on play with the flash, the ulti, now buffered and used, falling asleep at the wheel
for Mielin. And that ulti from Fleshy ain't good at all, but it's enough at least for
the rest of Vitality to find a kill.
Vitality, when I try and convert this into a Black Baron, but I don't know if that's
the safest call here. Humanoid wants more low, and you just have so much poke on Emkoi,
you'd be sitting ducks in that piss. So for Vitality, the end is backing away,
But M.Coy denied the dragon and again using that poke to efficiency there.
This is a challenging knock knocker.
He is shredding it.
With that Gatling gun the Armored Shred is nice.
But securing the Scuttle even nicely hit the Vitality.
Let's look at Gengadag because this was such a long set up of this frag.
He called it in the fight in Starex.
No ult for Fleshy made a very difficult play there towards the bottom side and
Merewem was just able to play frontline.
Knack Mako is a brilliant throw.
I'm...don't know what happened with Super there while he didn't get taken.
to be honest by that ultimus, for either way, Vitality just pushed back in the rest of the fight.
Mere went really safe, he played knock-knock-o, had an angle again, and I fear for the backline of Emkoi
if knock-knock-o is able to have his save, but that time around he was not, Emkoi got the dragon
and we are back to a bit of stalemating around the Baron the next three or so minutes.
I have to say, Dagger, I mean, Emkoi are really turtling out this game.
is slowed down massively from those outers going down vitality haven't really been able
to siege you've talked about it earlier with what Alvaro is doing where he's always hovering
and MQA are making sure that vitality can't get this deep vision this setup that they've
required for their composition to really accelerate the game and it's because JoJo's
wins every one versus humanoid so as long as you're able to isolate that massive
patch up you're in a decent spot and that's all that MQA have been trying to do on
this top side now with that win they're able to get up on for this mid lane turret and suddenly by
Talon he not as terrifying as they were on this mid push as Emkoi could text.
Linsus has GA he's thinking about an angle it's a ram time but is it going to be slip time afterwards
only humanoid can answer that quick side note I'm more watching the poke of Emkoi because I
think it's being more successful at this point El Yoya at three items with opportunity with
Sarelda's actually doing quite a lot for a 1 and 4 jungler to give credit as TroubleBubble does connect
But Mewen's blocked by Super. I've never seen an AD carry block for a poppy tank. What a guy.
Yeah, what a bloke. That's what Teamwork's all about.
Hell yeah, missed the poke, hang on. There's an angle. Knock, knock, it's found Mewen.
Qnoy joining out at no HP as Linda's dives in, remember, GA and the TroubleBubble from downtown
Vitality's midlaner, Lance. Again, no HP, but he doesn't care. He gets another one.
You want to escape? No! Stand your ground!
Vitality have found two, and with the health bar blinking a little bit, they find a fight that seemed unreasonable.
Vitality find the engage they needed, and this will set up for the Baron.
Ayaia the focus of Vitality counts.
I don't know how you and I have never get into a fight on my 300 HP there.
I don't know how that guy didn't get poked out,
But it helps my talent along with lintzus who's GA still up by the way, win a fight and this is how they did it
Well it was the bubble to start things off, they chased down on Toyoya and Supa
And Hibinoid is like okay there's the CC for lintzus, cuts us up for the bubble, immediately deleted
And then lintzus going forward knowing you have to heal from flesh, he keeps himself topped up
And that's Mackerel's keeping Supa out of the fight, he's taking a pick on Fondar, but you can see where JoJo was in the map
It was Enkoi pushing up too far trying to take that fight with no tower for safety and no full team there to help.
This is why I feel like Pantheon and the LEC is so valuable because the ability to punish teams that overstep right, like, they're not perfect players, no one really is.
But here in the LEC, prone to mistakes here in mid, walking up too far, there's a Pantheon with GA.
We have a Zoe in this game and Humanoid can do the exact same thing.
From afar, punish, punish, punish, and it feels like for Vitality this game, that's what they've been doing with Emcoy.
That's how they found their lead, and now they're in the driver's seat once again with a little bit more gold to their name,
but also the setup, it seems, for 40 seconds of a strike that's going to be their soul.
Yeah, as he's saying, having the Red Bull Baron power play already ticking up with the push they have,
it makes it very difficult for Emcoy to really try and contest here,
especially for their kind of winning points in the maplage with JoJo.
You just can't care about these waves, and now Vitality ready to attack us.
This cares not we've seen the brush enables humanoid level 17 on the Zoe who has three items now
with crypto blimp with a
Farsight alteration as well added into the mix
You know devil push up here. He's got a lot of damage
You pick potential is kind of out of this world push comes in by tally running back
But dragons spawns emquay at trine of blanket, but there's lenses. Okay. I'm alting in jumps out immediately with a flash
And Dragon resets.
Realm Warp there for JoJo, Vitality now here, but Linceston in the Summoner, Nak Nakko is around midway.
He's caught out, MQA is just taking him on, but this is a casante.
Wall out, not close enough against the wall, the true damage onto Alvro, but he escapes.
Now goes Nak Nakko down, tempered fate keeps the fight going.
Mew is off even the side as well, it's taken by Vitality, Han Solo, and Kami lines him all up.
High flight of ruin, but he dies.
Super is just stronger.
Meanwhile, on the back-end fleshy holding a pop-off,
the F-Nagel's turn!
Humanoid survived the whole damn thing,
and if he takes the flash, runs it down.
It's a bloodbuff, but it's a solve for vitality.
Only one soldier stands on either side
to get the letters home.
For one side is going home much more swift than the other,
as it's Karzy after all this to pick up the dragon.
And that knackle nearly gets the polter of the wall,
But just a little bit too far away was hoping to escape, but if that picked and then the delay here
That sets up, but you don't actually get the poppy open. Oh, actually do want to
Get the poppy open off because he's being so much damage caught up in this position
And then fleshy able to save the fight here with this flash forward
Set up then for the kills
It was messy, but it worked
Yeah, I don't think anyone does. It wasn't net wins for Vitality. I mean, Sol is forever.
And a Cloud Sol on this column, I mean, every time Portal Jump comes through from Humanoid,
he's just going to waff out of it with, I mean, like 400 movespeed, 500 movespeed.
I mean, same with, you know, Nack Nackle, Ninc's coming through on Ultimates as well,
Karate when he pops his Ultimates as well. There's so much value that you get from
is cloud so it's going to be really really nice for vitality feel like again
the finishing touches are being laid on just one of them Georgia caught out
now against the wall he doesn't offer on the way in the problem is not not go
doesn't have help until lenses arrived but the problem is also super's here
now you watch a jungle fighting of Georgia B goes in the wrong one Jets on
out not gonna take some magical journey and saves his life super was
about to come in and they're rough I'll be more human I just gonna play
side lane and find himself in the inner turret. Yeah I mean you get away from this
but you might still push the side. The stun used means that the Seraph's
braces enough to keep Jojo alive on that side lane so you can take the realm
war. And now Vitality, I think still fine to keep pushing in. I'm sure you
use the ult from Linsus and the ult from that Mako but you still got the
pushing your sights quick news alert there's a news alert baron rather
rubber doms completely different entities but that's what if you're wondering
what rather baron is made out of it's actually baron's head if you look
closer that's real law but surely it must be a strong item like that's got to
be the head of baron put onto a hat because again we are a family-friendly
game yeah we don't want to show a disembodied head but we can put it
into a hat and it can be fun. Yeah.
Yeah, it's gonna work.
Thanks, Yvonne, babe. It should be...
Yeah, let's play.
Hang on, pick. Gimmono, almost dead. Super!
Oh, man. If you got that rocket, maybe.
Maybe. Gimmono's poached his head over the wall
and he almost got caught for it.
That nice job by M-Coys and already taken down.
You can see there's a ton of damage on the sides, though.
Well, without much to really fight for her again,
M-Coys are kind of just pushing out waves.
Not going to have to get too much as humanoid's off the map.
We'll be coming back, but at least pushing Vitality back for us our own base
and making it a little bit more difficult for him and I to continue that pressure.
So what is going on in this game, Dagda? Who's going to win it?
I mean, it's all over the place at this stage.
A ramp, A ramp, A ramp.
But here we go, here we go.
A ramp, lots of bounce.
Two man game winning play from Fleshy.
Pember's 8 holes for though, and maybe Alvary does it in reverse.
He wouldn't land up to the brave attack, he's still alive.
Meanwhile, the post might be due from M.Coy, but humanoid's still alive.
He's stolen a flash, he's got the range, his portal jump is insane.
A double already down to the 300 year old girl who's going to run it down there
with the rest of Vitality to lock in Player.
It took a while for Vitality to find the fight they need.
They find themselves the win and they will find themselves in Player.
And what a comp to do when it was slow, it had me in the middle, but Vitality with class, with precision, knocked down M-Coy and locked themselves in.
Very strong early game from Vitality set them up so well.
Early games from Linsis, fleshy roaming around the map, it kept everything in check and let them take down M-Coy.
What a performance, I mean, Fleshy set it up, Jim and I had on that pick a little bit risky.
But you can vote for your play of the game so that I don't have to vote now at LEC or next.
Nuck Nuck are lintz and Fleshy. I do feel like that's the fourth, but lintz is ganks
and then Nuck Nuck are solo-killed near when twice like.
I don't know about vitality or surprise, but they're a good surprise.
And this means now in class we get to get more of their commons
I mean going in six and four, but he's fairly happy with that one
Still waiting like fanatic a five five g2 five five L or and emcoy down a five five as well
It's said number tomorrow to be so spice. It really is again
This is the best part about the end of the split. That's right. Terry takes on five five as well
Yeah, but I mean even more so like
the rest just gets a little bit scarier for the teams that are finding those
losses today and I don't know thank you thank you so much humanoid but one man
who is very crucial to the win and locking in playoffs is a jungle in
lenses thank you very much gentlemen fantastic cast lenses fantastic game
early game super dumb okay obviously like the mid game got a little bit yeah
let's talk about the mid game maybe first so I can just focus on the
praise afterwards. What went wrong in the mid-game? I feel like you guys were still in control but
there's a lot of really messy fights. Yeah I think we probably just played too slow. I mean I'm not
sure kind of have to review the game and see what went wrong. I was I guess kind of lying when I
said last week that our mid game got better but we will see. I think just played way too slow
with how ahead we were. I had first time I think at like nine minutes should be quite a quick
stomp but I guess we messed up somewhere. Well still it will close it out in the end
and things are looking pretty good.
Obviously you had a fantastic Vi game last week,
good Pantheon game this week.
Overall, I feel like your performance has just been stellar.
What has been the big thing for you that's allowed you
to show the level of performance you want to on this stage?
I mean, I think the Fnatic game was kind of bad
and after that I just looked in, I don't know.
I think just trying to be proactive early game,
I think the early game's gotten much better.
I think we're also as a team
just trying to fix the mid game.
I mean, couldn't do a good showing today
but I think last week we had quite good mid-games,
so I think me playing better,
but also just the team overall,
just learning and getting better.
How do you stay so serious and so composed
when you have a team around you
that are just constantly joking,
talk like, I'm not gonna repeat any of the jokes,
but you're so composed, you're so serious,
you've got Cardi, even Knock Knock,
I know likes to join in sometimes.
How do you stay composed in the game like this
when you've got so many goofballs on your team?
I mean, I think there just has to be that one guy,
I guess, that kind of keeps it somewhat serious because otherwise it would be MS, but also
I mean I sometimes join in as well, you know, like I think having a fun environment helps
the two check guys and overall just having a good vibe is important I think, but yeah
just trying my best to, you know, keep them locked in when the chaos starts in Wisconsin
because one fight we're winning and it starts going, you know.
Well, Minus slipped up a little bit today, but for the most part it seems like it's
going very well.
Once again, Lensis on your victory, looking forward to seeing you up against Los Ratones tomorrow.
For now though, KC vs GX coming up after the break.
I'm still living. I'm on fire.
On flash, on flash.
He's dead, nice.
Hey!
Damn!
Everyone, is you ready for the...
Oh, that doesn't look good.
Wait!
I have a solution, but...
You have a break.
I will be right back.
Just wait.
Have a break, have a KitKat.
See?
How do we figure it out?
I don't think this counts.
C'mon, let's go.
Hey there, every season starts the same way.
Everyone wants to win, but not everyone prepares the same way.
I can't wait to show you what I have in store.
And trust me, this year, everyone's leveling up.
Wait, is he switching lanes?
and we're going to be back.
The day is gonna be Casey versus GX and guys rolling back three weeks ago
All I kept on hearing from teams was that G2 is gonna be the best team and Chloe is gonna be the best team
I don't want to say
I was like there's no way that GX is gonna be fighting yeah
And about up a first place between GX and Casey I am very surprised
I mean I was saying Casey would be the best team. So I'm not that surprised
Okay, but were you expecting that they would click that early and that soon into the league?
Because right now I feel like they're the most consistent team we have.
I mean, I feel like they laid the pieces up pretty nicely just for the layup.
Boosio has fitted in so well. It doesn't look hard when they do like that.
And what about GX? Because for me, we went from propaganda to an actual good team.
This is a team that's all about the bot lane.
Like Noah and Jern, I think, have had a fantastic split.
Okay, my AD carry expert.
Right, one rank two for Noah.
I feel like he's in that conversation based on this split.
These are the two best bot lanes in the league right now for sure.
Absolutely.
And I mean, like, how can we not talk about them?
I feel that we can start by talking a little bit more about Buccio,
because, yeah, the new member to the KC roster.
And obviously expectations were exceptionally high
for this man in the bottom line.
I was so impressed with his game against shifters,
especially going up against Trimby,
who's been such a strong support in our league for a long time
after he came back.
But this Alistar, the way he was able to pick off Rakan so many times,
which is just so impressive in the context of the fact that normally against Rakan,
he can do whatever he wants with no consequences,
but Boussio just had their number this game,
and he shows such a strong impact on support.
The best support in our league, by far.
Oh, okay.
And he's still doing the same thing that he did in North America.
Remember that what made Inspired Good was his prioritization on himself.
And I feel like for Yike, who's much more of a selfless jungler
doing whatever he needs to for his team,
it's almost like he's given way more freedom,
because Buseyul was just impacting the map so much.
Now, hold on. I want to put up on what you just said,
because Buseyul best support in the league,
I think Jun can sit on that table.
I think Jun can definitely sit on the table,
but it's the second best.
But the thing is, this matchup will determine
how I view the best bot lane going into playoffs.
Because right now I'm thinking KC,
but it's not by a huge margin.
Because Jun and Noa, both of them,
have put on steadily performance game after game.
It feels like they're taking turns.
Who's going to carry the game to lead JX to W3?
Yeah, I'm really excited for this Barlain matchup.
I hope we get an exciting one.
I hope both supports also play engaged support to move away from this karma,
Naomi's stuff, and we just get into the action.
We make fights happen, and I'm hoping that both these teams deliver
for our last match of the day.
Battle of the best support here, and yeah,
we want to see them shine on those engaged champions
for Battle for first place as well before we get into that.
I have Draco standing by with Noah and June ahead of the game.
Thank you so much, Lore.
It is my distinct pleasure to be joined by Noah and Jun.
Jun, I'm going to wait for you for a second.
I'm going to go to Noah first.
Noah, last time we saw you facing off in a bot lane battle,
it was against Supa.
Your answer was simple.
Higher elo, you're going to win.
What's the secret to beating Kalis today?
I mean, today he has more elo, but I
will tell you my best to be the support Jun.
So we have time to win, you know?
I like it.
I like it.
Acknowledging the elo, still trying to make the difference.
Jun, it's all about the engages.
We heard the analysts.
They think the bot lane 2v2 might be stronger. What do you have to say to our analysts over there?
They think they're strong. They think KC is stronger.
I mean, I think they're stronger than you.
And you're saying this.
June, you're very humble. I was trying to rage bait, but you're a world, you're a class act, June.
That's it from us. We're going to send it over to the casters.
Yeah, thank you. Thank you so much. That was a great interview.
Yeah, just like yeah, why would I argue? Yeah, okay. Yeah, like okay, bro. You're about to go into them
No, I mean again lovely bot lane and they do deserve credit. I I do agree
I think that boost seal is insane, but I think together Noah and June
Maybe have been more insane in terms of the caliber they brought
I feel like some games have been on their back purely like these Caitlyn like I was saying
They really know how to accelerate lead and that's why they're talking about on the endless death
That's why at home. We agree. We want to see some of these more explosive lanes
We've seen Caitlyn from both Noah and Calist. We have seen things like the virus lanes as well
Let's get some action down there if we see permanent scaling boring nonsense
The caravan is just gonna snooze. We don't want that
But I think giant X have shown that they're willing to bring out to those books
fix the bot lane. Like you think back to the endcloy game where we got to see things like
that as karma and the Caitlyn that they brought out. Or at least the Elise and the Caitlyn
that they brought out. And actually play for this heavy engage stall. So I think you've
got to be very careful with how you go about things here. Already though, some focus on
the bot lane, Eko taking away and the Faris going as well.
Yeah, the Faris does make sense. I feel like you're in it.
I like the Elise as well. It was absolutely insane asking for it.
Yeah, I don't care. I mean, largest jungle lead at the end of the game. In LEC history,
That's insane. Yacht did it on the Jace, but I think Yacht did it himself as well.
Yacht just had an insane day. Let's see if he has another one.
Jnarr has also gone, so a bit of scaling.
Taken away from the mix, KC now has options for first pick.
Decker we've seen this year in this situation, more plans than not.
Yeah, I think it kind of comes into preference because we've also seen teams willing to take the Taliyah
and then respond with the Pantheon.
you get Taliyah Pantheon as well, but you've always got that option as Gynx to go for Pantheon and Azir and take away that opportunity.
So, I said I was just going to go for the Azir, which means probably Taliyah Pantheon and Taliyah here, or you can go for the Ryze as well as a response.
If you do have the Jarvan open, if you like, wants to go towards it though.
And you're right in the pairing as well. I love that you mentioned the Jarvan here. That is a possibility, because it enables more roads to lead bot for a Gynx bot side-focused run.
Usually you don't want to pick Jarvan into Azir though, because Azir has the pushback, which kind of nullifies a lot of them.
And also he's got that ability to escape away from the Cataclysm.
So that's why we tend to see the Pantheon more.
And already we talk about like Pantheon likes to have these combos where he can set up and have follow up, and Taliyah works perfectly with the Flip.
But Taliyah doesn't like the Jarvan as much.
Yes, she does have the Unraveled Earth to help out somewhat, but still that knockup can be devastating for Taliyah,
if especially the Emperor's Divide has already been used ahead of us.
So we've also got a bit of engage added in with the Jarvan Sion combo on KC side, big front-to-back already building
For Giant Axe to Pantheon combo, you already nice invention, Dagger
Let's just see if it's a top lane match and then we leave bot completely unaware of a lot of bands
The ambassador could be taken here though, lots of the Sion does well
I think you've got that ability to try and bypass that frontline, especially with things like the Pantheon already there
It's just gonna go for the Naran instead
into Kana. Kana is a great gnar. And you're running, I mean, again, for a lot, he's got
a lot of speaking to do, but even though he's got the matchup, I'm curious to how he's
going to go into Kana itself. It's a risky matchup atop, just in terms of players, Dagger,
you know what I'm saying? But I will redirect a conversation to focus on the bot lane
that is the story of the day. Let's start banning ADK. Let's get something interesting.
I'm wondering what they're trying to set up for Noah though, because I mean in Alistar
Band maybe they're moving towards like the Sivir, but you don't really want to play
the Sivir into the Jarvan.
Yep.
Man, like you kind of want something that's self-reliant, Ezreal, maybe Azaiic has somewhat
work but still ends up having a cataclysm and see I'm not 100% certain what the
the game plan is honestly for no one that bottom side going to the champion
that have been played actually yeah I mean do you think no it do you think
Kaisa's an angle here do you think it's worth or do you think it's too hard to
navigate like I don't think you're fully paying dive on giant X yeah and I
think you're kind of like trying to find someone with the party which you
can then use the pick pack on like play for some points and yeah so they take
away the Kaisa, Caitlyn gone, I had imagined a quirky band and maybe you
forced the Ezreal, oh because I was gonna say Ezreal isn't very good at trying to get
through this frontline when you've got the Sion there, at least with the
quirky you kind of get some treads and that kind of stuff and that'll be the answer.
But for KC, Atelius is still up with an enchanted Fabusia and we've really
highlighted the fact that Fabusia, his best performance has been on these
engages. However, we've seen karma, we've seen Vard, I don't know if Vard's a bit of a mix,
but we've seen the Lulu come out of this American support. For KC, let's see. And looking at a bit
of range instead, a bit of scaling. What's really going to be the final lock in here?
There's still a lot available for Calist. I don't mind the silver, Jin. Like, we kind of
seen Jin more into Caitlyn's and Varus's, but it's still at least play from range.
There's no true tank and other sizes. At least going to match some of the aggression that
to be seen working that bottom side of Max's bush.
Well, what?
Maybe you're not going to say he's an enchanter there,
but it's Buccio's barb.
Look at that smile.
He's smirking.
He knows.
Like, hang on a minute.
You didn't ban my barb.
Wait a hot second, because this is normally the go-to
when you're first in Buccio.
Maybe Jionx just don't care.
They think we've got something else that can snap in game.
I kind of want to think I was thinking
they could match enchanter with enchanter here
if he really wants to.
You've seen Nami with Corky a lot of the times, but not actually going to be the case, just instead of going to go for the Rakan, so
Kind of that follow-up or a setup for the team. So I think for Giant X
They just want to play for these kind of pick plays with the Pantheon and the Taliyah and the NAR, like strong
Sidelanes that they can try and play through with the Corky having the ability to just play on mid
Especially if you ever have the Pantheon go in, Rakan could follow up so well with the Pantheon on those ultimate plays
For KC, I mean, front to back, bog standard, look for team fights, play for dragons. There's nothing too crazy.
But it's going to be a slow and steady kind of play for KC in the hopes that they can play through the strong bot lane
and try and look for dragons around there.
Well, I've been critical of Jackie's split and I want to see how he gets the ball rolling,
especially at 6, how they can really draw that attention and get Gion X on the board very fast.
tagged up. If KC get to scale, they'll get to play their front to back, they'll get to
move into first seed comfortably and lock that in. Remember, it's all about choosing
lower seed in your side of the bracket that you want. You get so much options when we
get into our playoff format. First and second seed will be on opposite sides of the bracket,
but having first seed not only sends a message to the rest of the league that you're
the best team, but also gives you your pick of choice again in that side of
of the bracket. Casey have that option here. Jionex won't lock in first but they'll get
pretty close to who's our best team of LEC. I think we're getting an answer in this best
of one.
Obviously, Casey, a lot of people expected to be in that conversation of top teams
in the E20. Nobody was expecting Jionex to be up there. We always heard about the
string gods but never got to see the stage. Shenanigans really set up for them.
It's crazy the position they're in, isn't it?
Because like, Esma, that, that Sion game, sorry,
that mouth-like game has been a massive meme
over the season.
They've had some stinkers, but again, GionX,
it just keeps coming back to the fact that like,
his bot lane carry is huge,
and the rest of the team's really cementing them well.
GionX have a really strong identity here.
We're gonna see if we can get,
get running in the early part of this game.
Now, two people have just said different things.
by the internet is fun. GFs put upset here. You're going to know, bro. That's a different
team.
I do think like both sides have kind of what they'd like to, which is, you know, strongly
jungle, the ability to play around bot side of giant X and the really that's kind of
the focus that you want from giant X is trying to then set up for, hey, if no one
is able to win out of mid, we can easily play through sides, shift, John, with
and try and make these plays.
But when I look at KC, again, it's kind of like,
this has been the go-to, which is we play for dragons.
We have strong bot lanes and strong individual lanes
that we can look to play through,
and kind of just goes on tank duty
and kind of scales into position where he's fine.
And already KC doing a great job
of winning out on this bottom side.
And once you kind of hold onto this trend,
I think KC should be okay to just keep this pressure
and play for the dragons.
And there's RNGX trying to disrupt this bottom up.
Well, we'll see what they can do.
It's really up to Isma, as usually expected, the Pantheon.
Last game, very innovative game at level three.
Isma's hit level three,
but he's gonna do a full clear of this game instead.
Maybe just move his way down,
see if he can punish the push from Kalista and Lucio.
So, Dagda, you know what?
I mean, again, level two was hit first,
Bard versus Rakan.
I mean, a lot of the support is just
always dictating of the bottom matchup.
It feels like it.
comes through coffee binding does return though and once again here we go on the
June the list and boost here are bullies and that's all you really want to do use
the range advantage continue to heal up and just make this match up a good
ball I think that's why I was kind of saying I think I'd rather something like
the nominee here for the quirky because then you can actually use the
bully potential from the quirky but in the position you're in Lucio and
Calista able to push very effectively keep you underneath your tower and just
going to chip away and make things a little bit more difficult for the
Korky, which is not where Korky wants to be.
He wants to be the one that's off some dictating the pace in the lane.
Surprise Jackie's didn't shove on the TP there.
I'm assuming that he was worried.
Maybe if the ice was in the vicinity turned into a bait,
it wouldn't have anything available regardless.
Now topside here for Isma picking up Scattlegrab in the vicinity
seems they can punish anything through that mid lane.
We did talk about a little bit about how GX want to get this fall rolling a little bit.
So, I feel like right now it's neutral running through a miniboss.
Oh, Jarvis, Yike, EQ'd over the walls to dodge the ward that they knew was down.
Casey, you're gonna look for a plan to bottom side avoiding the vision from Jion-X.
But first of all, it's looking for a solo kill, boomerang, blake down, Karna,
one auto away, but he heals up, and as you said, the innovative path, even better in this bottom lane,
because Yike is behind enemy lines.
Jordan now I have to get the hell out of dodge, well, Kalista's just setting it up,
but Noah, he might flash over the wall,
but Yikes will follow!
First flying dagger, what a great call.
Great gang flying from Yikes,
knowing that that ward was there,
ends up using the flag and drag over the wall to avoid us,
and that sets up, but nice job as you called
for a lot on the top side.
Easily bullying out the scion,
and maybe setting up for a kill,
because Kanna's still here.
Adam, I had faith in Kanna,
he'd be flying the match up, but a lot is giving it
to him right now.
As you said, Isma, hovering around,
ward goes down.
Is this gonna be a dive?
Kinda feels very, very low as Jun takes Tarot Shot.
Buseo's just gonna follow in for the time being.
With Electrood out, Living Quilts should make him okay,
but Cosmic Finding, hang on,
support or combat, Jun is about to die!
To a freaking bar!
Welcome to EU, Buseo, he's bustin' again!
And you get the flash from Jun?
He was hoping that he'd actually managed
to get the battle done so well.
But Buseo just kills him outright!
What the hell?
He's shaking the ass once again, man.
He's just solo killed Jon!
Yeah, someone put that voice in the picture of him up the screen.
Because, yeah, Jon goes under the tower, tries to stop the recall,
is a little bit too late, and then takes the tower shot put.
I like how long Booster delays the queue,
waits until Jon commits either to walking next to the wall
or ends up between the minions.
But Jon, you don't get to shoot off the battle dance.
That was heinous.
Hahahahaha!
Well said.
Well said.
Well, Boosie has a gold lead.
And, uh, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know, things going well for KC to say the least.
We look towards mid shuffle back into Yikes' waiting arms.
No cataclysm, but is it needed?
Maybe it would have been.
Jacky just walks it out.
Doesn't even flash, by the way.
So, well played here from Jacky to get away.
It will be the dragon, though, for KC off the back.
the back. As you say, I think nice confidence from Jaxbees. Realizing he wouldn't have to
use the flash. But it's what KC wanted, like killer Noss. This is what we're talking about,
the dragon stacking, playing through strong lanes. KC already off to a very good position
in this game. Hang on, I just gotta add another stat. Okay, okay. Yeah. Hang on.
I can't do darts on this thing. One. Wait, I got you here. Hang on. That's what he got!
Solar kills one!
Jun, I think, zero. I actually haven't asked the stat team a little bit. Rogue on this one.
I'm confident to say that it is just for solo kill, yeah.
It's very rare.
I'm confident to say that Bootsy has the most solo kills of any support.
Oh, be cool.
I will say, Casey, they've been very proactive in the early part of this game.
We talked about Casey being able to chill in this game.
It's up to Giant X to really bring the pace.
Jack is now unlocking now is that ulti available so we want to see I mean when he
does level it up of course I want to see how do they get proactive on the map
drops us up in a minute case you got the first dragon so that's off the board so
I think it's trying to wait for close to hit level six should hit it off this
next wave release the first few creeps on the next wave which then you can
start to shift to see where the map there's level six is I think you like
you can already see the reset starting to come through this is where they
want to shift Lucio into positions especially if they can try and make plays around mid.
But Jackie's holding onto that flash pretty crucial because as you can see,
yeah, who's ultimate is about to come back off cooldown.
Yeah. And ideally flash be gone and you can make the follow play,
but not quite available right now because Jackie's held onto us.
The problem is Jackie's just chunked out again. Like, yeah, he's been doing throughout
all the lane. I do fear for the impact around these grubs. 20 seconds.
And Jyke is popping down towards the bot, so there's no real rush on this objective.
I believe defaults are being placed right in the faylight there for Jackies.
He's going to get river control for now on this upcoming objective.
It's interesting because Blue Seal showed on mid wave, and I don't know if he's
kind of just trying to base or pretend that they've moved up towards Void groups,
and that's why he's trying to play for a bot.
There's actually a nice ward here to spot out if Jarvan would end up walking in towards our void groups.
And again, I think it's just because Gionax want to try and make the plasma.
If KC go for the void groups early, then I can now sit around this mid lane.
One of that brush though, so you're actually going to have to commit the flash.
Cataclysm now up and available and he's also shadowing the lane.
flag going to be used to bleep this out of vision, but pings, did he skirt vision?
He just wants to skirt around vision and now because
That word they were like oh wait yike hasn't gone for the boycrups
Yeah, so now we're gonna move in we have the quick reset and the TP coming through and push on top
So now giant X ever to get position on this boycrups. So and nice
Play from giant X, but you can see how Casey were trying to defend against the potential bot play
Which opened up for giant X now to take this topside
Objective I don't know old here as well flag and drag onto the jacket
There's a Cataclysm there, wait for the shot back there, who flashes, but it's matched.
Jackie gets out of hung, play tempo stayed as well, Jackie smooths the ulti out.
Oh man, Michael Jackson will be proud, he's a smooth criminal.
And that's why you don't level the ultimates.
You keep it to the last second, because once that damage happens,
you cannot use that ultimate anymore.
But now, for this.
Dang, it's about play for Giant X on the Callister as well.
At half HP it's not really enough just yet,
but trying to pull the triggers, Giant X get the head in the game.
Lovely stuff in the mid lane from Jackie's and now knowing drone getting some pressure on towards this bottom side
It's a giant X-Gender. They're not just pushovers
I don't think we get to see it so but this is it so end up getting away a flashing away from Yahoo
Then you like is like okay. I'm gonna have the ultimate here, which is fine
But now we level the ultimate and the reason you hold on to it is because you're able to then use it immediately
Because you haven't taken any damage
when you level the ultimates. Really nice stuff from Jackie's and it keeps him safe.
Playing mechanics, really nice micro there as well back there. So GX might not
have a gold lead, but they've definitely got a bit of regression here in this game.
He's rough on defimating Smash, what continuously having Kana's number.
And a quick side note, there is a CS lead up in the soft lane as well, about 20 for now.
So, it's going as well, like it's just opening up a really nice lead.
He really is.
Smash.
Got him.
Hang on.
The problem is Siren.
You get hit by one.
And that's what happened.
Now, Kana almost has ulti.
It might get worse.
Boos says he's managed the journey to get here.
Onto Jackie's electric there.
Possibly finding out some damage.
But the jump in now comes in from Esma.
Looking for the start on to Boos.
Yeah, we went a bit too far forward.
Threat of Olly though doesn't connect.
And Jackie's looking for the flick.
Yes, Yikes!
Flash!
Gynx making it a 3v3.
And they get a little bit more.
Gynx are playing well around this mid lane
mid lane and trying to keep KC at bay. Jackie's with a fancy footwork but even here, Drainex,
just protecting him and denying KC from really getting the values they want.
Because this is where KC, if you look back at the past game, have been finding success in
moving Buccio with like, finding skirmishes, finding plays.
On everyone, Noah, hit foster response with a couple of ulti's. Big one used on the wave,
he's going to get curtain call, three shots. The fourth note, Barry used by Noah,
but the fourth does not connect.
Barrier instead of flashing Noah, almost kept us cool, but definitely had to wipe the sweat from his eye at the end of that one.
As Gionx gonna set up for Dragonbutt, I don't think they can't, yeah but Noah nailed that low, the end of having to give it up.
So Casey, I think there is a window where they can push in boss and maybe look for a miss.
Both on vision they know, Gionx know that there is a roaming support jungle coming in.
Yaku will just have to back away as well as Gainek's responding kind
But wait is denied a little bit here. I think no one's gonna pick up the last two, but
All in all, it's a pretty even game-state when we talk about the battle for first dragon is up
Casey are moving back into the area, but Gainek's keeping Isma and Jun here
And I am saving a weave as well back up the Jack is well for zone control. So
It's a lot this dragon is highly contested
I'm just going to say that, but KC like yeah whatever we're going to talk.
I don't think anyone really feels comfortable enough to take it at the moment.
That's why.
So you've got push and bot lane, which is in favour of Giant X.
The push and mid is in favour of KC, and people are kind of on these weird reset times
as well, so I think everyone just kind of needs to take a breath and wait it out until
maybe a play in mid, but I think it'll be looking at Isma's ultimates to come
back up and see then if Giant X can force a play.
Before that KC still have chances to try and find some players that are mid and especially
with the flash though down for Jaki's.
I just don't know if they have the time to do that right now.
See when Toplanders get involved because there is a teleport available for Kana for
an advantage so maybe KC try and utilize that as, can we just make an hour and again
there we go into the wall.
I'll take a couple of card shots, Kana gets the minions.
The only one with the gold lead right now is Loth.
Outside of Noho just picked it up I think with an increased wave and able to move
buff and get the plating, but really Lot is the one who's maintaining a big lead over his
lane opponent.
Yeah, and it's very hard in this matchup, Sion just does not have a fun time. You can
even see Kanna use the ultimate there to try and get a decent trade, but not able to
find the return ult and turn it around. Now though, Waze did a much better position
for KC as they pushed in Boss, and immediately they started to move over towards the dragon.
Ismaq gonna try and face check.
Fox is finding us and connects.
Damage might be too much here.
He hasn't looked at the skill, but he's a bit late.
Weaver's all gonna be used. Boussio on the right side of it.
Isma gets stuck in the wall, and he's actually just easing me.
He puts the shield up, and he's dead for the rest of the year.
Come in, but now over the wall, with a current goal lined up.
Under Jun, maybe a free kill, but it's waited, waited for Noah.
Jun gets out over the wall, but will he survive?
Almost dies to Boussio again.
But Jun does live.
KC got the dragon however and they're now looking for the chasers, Yike on to John.
Neither the team just yet, the Q comes out, John's gonna heal up, he engaged there, finds a knock up,
Jackie looking for the flick, but Yike is just out of range.
Cosmic binding from Buccio through the blue buff, shuts down Jackie's on the follow up and will let Yike escape.
But again, great skirmish from KC. Patience was the name of the game in this one.
Both from Jaik and from Kalisk, because Jaik immediately could have escaped, but they're like, hang on, they're following.
So Jaik holds the EQ, it gets onto Isma, they finish off the kill, and Buseo with the ultimate here onto Nola,
means that they're actually able to deal with this very effectively.
Yeah, who's getting a ton of damage, Jethys can't really get into position.
Fourth shot, Kayshin from Kalisk as well, to finish off one more.
And Kasey again, these skirmishes are so good for them in the early game.
100% chaos kill participation from Buccio.
He got his Bard and once again,
it feels like highlighting the support
is the right call out of this cast.
15 minutes in, 2K Gold lead, two dragons.
Harold's now up.
It is up to Giant X to try and contest this one.
The oldies are coming back up.
I'm looking at Jackie T. Dagda.
I'm also looking at item thresholds
with double Trinity Force now picked up.
Do feel like there is a bit of strength in Giant X.
They just need that pick.
We need that setup from mid jungler that we talked about in draft.
And they haven't been able to find it because of the way KC even played.
It's been heavy aggression around mid.
Focus Jackie, try and burn some nerf well, try and burn ult.
And the base.
There's the shove, but onto Busey, doesn't have a lot of damage.
She has to pan the enemy, Busey might be caught out.
He was in river by himself and the ulti from Esma shutting down.
Busey were a little bit too early.
The hike was an imposition and the ultimate from Esma is perfect to turn the play around,
but now it's going on mid.
Reverse play, the deadly Flourish Kano, rather callous excuse me, has got the damage, yikes!
Okay, the wave's gonna be altered instead, Herald pulled off of, but Casey just blew two ultsies.
I don't know if Gion X can really do much, because he's got Yahoo's in that topside as well, and Buccio's back end of the map.
A mistake from Noah to dive, Gion X, an opportunity to take the rip-chart after almost a good peek onto Buccio.
Isma collects the wave, KC as you said, here's a thing of one for one with a smart kick on
mid to really recover the Buccio's death, but reset here, Buccio is now alive,
December fate not there, but reset obviously going to be quick, you see Gainek's all four members
outside of Jackie's are leading the base right now so timing is perfect from KC,
we get the health. A small mistake so we're back to buy Gainek's there because again
They're doing some nice plays and I think gizma has been doing a good job of matching a lot of this aggression
KC it's just over
Extension when it comes towards one or two of these skirmishes no they're getting caught there
And all of a sudden it's happening when they don't have a moment to try and look for anything else around the map or they've given up that
Opportunity to try and make the play for Pussy on our end behind the thanks for TV
That's a journey, great angle as you say he fights at one
Buccio landed a cosmic binding, tempered bait, he's setting up to line it again, onto Jackie's who hits towards the turret.
Buccio just did a 360 no scope.
I mean that was really nice, Manage to sneak in behind and gets the pick onto Jackie's burns, the flash has to burn his own.
But yeah, the bro mechanics on display here.
Well, I killed him the go down, but that was sick. That was gnarly.
Yeah, who's gonna get full access to the tarot though. I mean that play does have merit. It has gold
Inherently that goes to the Azir so even though there's no kill
Plus 500 down in total here for Yahoo almost as a second item in fact more than that
It's first turret just went down
What this way which is crazy because a lot has been putting in I mean over time on that top
Oh, yeah, try and take it down hasn't been able to get us
So KC, controlling the spot side, really nice plays coming through from Duceyle again in this game.
And just dictating everything happening on the map.
Jax is taking his top camps while Lott is doing a bit of proxy. He's about to run out of Meganardo.
Flag and drag is here. Naar is available. He's looking for two, but he only found one.
It's Jax. He gets it in the wall. Lott gets over the wall. He'll be admitting he can be able to hop out.
He's absolutely fine. But again, just stopping that pressure in top. You talked about turret will stay standing.
I'm trying to work through my head on like how Giant X can look for plays and I mean Dragon
is up you know that's just a reset through so at least they should be able to quickly
take the dragon although TP coming in that's quick to try and get out.
Jackie's can't wall off.
And it's temperate 4k for the dragon for now as you said the wall's gonna be there
stops the Herald beautiful from Jackie.
Giant X get a reprieve on mid turret as KC group up the Dragon goes down doesn't
looks for an engage but they've got their cake and they're really gonna eat it as well
as what goes into Meganar he wants a massive engage here but KC still look for
the seed through mid still look for the push as Yehu in the meantime is just
pushing top line so nice timing from Giant Next though Jarvan shot on top
side, don't need to over extend because Jarvan shot on top side so Giant Next knew
that he couldn't be in position to contest the dragon they quickly take
dragon, Jackie's but a good wall to prevent the riptow charge and now
Jack is in the topside to I mean yeah you get two planes put
Honestly at the end of the world at least he survives and June is here to make sure that happens
Jack threatening the dive
June needs to be there and as your right boots you're just following behind
So pop doesn't go down. Yeah, he gets a little bit of solid gold
But pop doesn't go down crucially as lots just dealing with Carter. That's gonna continue to be annoying here at the time
but
It's just the way it is. So if you're giant next what you're hoping for is this game to kind of slow down a little bit
Because if you actually end up in the standard mid game lanes of a 1v1
This is where you want to try and set up so that then you can shift with Isma to play for sidelines
Yeah, like try and make a pick on to Yahoo
Even just trying to not so much kill Kana but push him out of the lane
It means that you like you could take the bot lane turret here. And this is where for giant X
I think they need to start making their focus
So it's on Boosio and Yike to start trying to set up vision or at least keep their sideline or safe
because as you can look at like giant X if they can play right like this Jackie's
gonna get a tower that bottom-end tower is very close to falling as well and
this is where giant X is starting to even up the gold lead it's very hard to
react to giant X you know sideline plays well right like love snapping gauge
what's really got Pantheon you know you play with a Rakan as well very easy
to set up and find that one or two kills that opens the game so as you
said that very well said giant X not out of the game yet but they need
something proactive at least as we approach the smooth game now and it's
KC have to be proactive because if they're the ones that are taking a breath trying to set up standard
That's when it actually enables giant explains where to come
But if they're constantly shifting people around the map it makes it very difficult to actually set up anything for giant X
And that's what we're seeing now KC trying to shift all
Well at least four people towards this top side to look for the tier two in response
Our tier one in response to the bot lane tier one going to be taken as well
Yeah, because you are just leaving Jackies to his own self with this turret, so they do need something
Winning more members to do so maybe set up a deep addition as well. Yike is getting
Pretty nifty in the red side jungle as yeah, he will eventually find this is going to deny some minions
Jackies will get caught by Kana here to respond to the wave
It does feel like Casey now want to turn that into a response in the mid lane as Noah
It's pretty safe here with Valkyrie up and available. There's no way you're getting caught here
There's a TP available for lots, so there is a window where Giant Axe could try and make some sort of play
But I think it was more off of like you could have pushed in both sides and needed to gank mid, but at least we should be fine here
I'm off to turn back the damage I'm doing. Raku just gets out of there
And it is a slow-tempered game, but a minute fifty-five with dragon, Baron sits there
Casey, I mean the thing is
They're not being over a grade just act it like both teams are kind of I don't know
Not being silly and it is nice to see because these are out the top two teams right now
Casey lock in first in fact if they find a win
This is the play you want to see out of the best team in the LEC
Casey group it on me if they want to try and force the issue this word off about mid lane tower gonna go down
There's a lot of stuff to teeter towards that tier two
He's going to back up, they'll get one, the TP, but can Giant Axe look for the play on the TP house?
Well, this isn't going to start at all, the Yike though misses and we have Steadly Fire as we come to play Death Magnet's match with Kernclaw.
Blinding down Giant Axe, Cataclysm in as well, Temp and Fate gets Kana into a golden stature as well.
Tries to come in with Megan on the side, but Kernclaw summed up the whole of Giant Axe.
Megan now versus the Maw, it would be great but Lot has no target.
He had to flash and to precede his position, while KZ turned into a Baron star.
He's going to try to force the play.
He stalls the TP going top.
I knew there would be a numbers advantage, as Lot was able to come over from top lane.
But he was a bit too early.
The TP's are coming through.
Giant X want to take the fight after.
No smite, they need to delay Baron to dive and do that.
Here comes the TP and Giant X are like, okay, let's bring it.
The 5 vs 4 lots in MiniNar.
Baron goes down and KZ cement their lead.
and a 30 second window until this mountain dragon, the TPs back out onto the map.
KC wants to try and look for a third dragon off the back of that fire intake.
Ultimates are down for KC though, and you've still got basically everything for Giant X.
This is still a little risky for KC.
I am a bit worried right now, Dagger, that Kanna, even though he's a bit behind, is still
arm it up and slightly unkillable. We'll have to see how much uptime Giant X get.
That's gone mini-marathon. Lucille's also a backup.
Yikes in six seconds away. KC stepping forward.
Panna's just walking into them. The damage not enough to inflict a blow.
Cosmic Biting again. Deathman is nice. No support for Giant X.
Killes sends the feathers into the ground and Dragon number three now available for KC without contact.
Jackie's wall is the Mosulium of John and that one as he's the only one to fall as Casey
I mean this I like the call from Isma like hey the TP is gone top
We can try not for a fight but John was looking for the reset. They're completely separated. I'm live for shot bomb
And now lot is jet to Casey keep finding pics this game is getting out of hand
KC putting the foot down here making sure the giant X are not comfortable at any point in this
they have been playing exceptionally well. I mean one or two missteps here and there but
that's kind of this and this is why people are now looking at KC as the best team in the league.
They have been the most consistent. Their on average performance has been
biased and if they win this game they will be taking that first place in the regular
season and it's a well earned placement.
Deadly flash, avoided by Jhun, mid turret's getting pushed as well, top is next.
Linsus is trying to, oh it's Linsus, Isma is trying to set up a play of music, his pantheon.
He's trying to set up a play on Kana, teleport as well, this will be three coming in.
Isma gets in the way, flashes that, that's Jax is being teleported in.
The shove there, maybe Kana not tanking up versus AP damage.
He's surviving for a long time, though, and this is an opening play for Giant X to get a shutdown on the Jackies.
The only question is, does KC make a cost for anything?
I think they'll be able to push him in and shift over towards his bottom side.
A lot is going to answer, but for this, should just be able to solo take this turn.
So at least it eases off the pressure that's on Giant X a little bit.
And that's all you're really trying to do here is Giant X is buy some time that maybe you can get some items to look for this next fight.
But you're also going up against Nazir that's working towards his 4th item.
Kalist is in an incredibly strong spot as well,
because he should have Lord Dominus Guard completed before this next dragon.
So these fights just become so much more difficult for Giant X,
because the point when your champions are strong is starting to fall off.
Damn, right about that.
And I'm seeing a gym with 4 items against a comp that doesn't have a hard tank,
that has a bruiser or a top lane.
The list is getting to one-shot territory.
I think a lot of fans are going to be excited to watch this due to four-shot someone at half-HP.
Now, KC, they've got that much control in this game with the bans now expired,
but with the gold lead that is to be admired.
They're going to walk in, get some deep vision,
and Giant Exige is going to have to let them for the time being.
It's all about defending these waves that get past that top side of the jungle,
they get past that line because everything else is KC's map right now.
The next is to try to find ways to empower their one strong point to the map which is lost.
Which is why Kana is now lagging him down as the rest of KC are taking a trip to the bottom lane.
He's so deep-darked. I mean, yeah, who's coming in for members of KC.
Try to get over the wall. Easy kill here, center of the skies.
No objective up, but just more gold for KC.
It's a minnest that Lod is now off the map.
Shouldn't give KC the time to get these well-intentioned to make it uncomfortable
when this next dragon and baron are up and available.
You didn't even count the fall there, that was like three or two.
Oh TP, okay, okay.
KC going in blind, okay.
The TP, it's same.
Yeah, Hu, he's gonna get a three-man ult, in shuffles out, it's a bait for Jackie Stoker!
Footline and Zynga, kept the fate and saved the mid laner, and yeah, Hu,
was all a bit of a ruse, that fourth shot goes wide, but Jackie's dies for it.
How the hell did yeahhu survive?
There is no world where he should have been giant X mid laner that ties an up lane.
Yeah, he's a little piece ambitious at best. He doesn't even have his onion the man was just like screw it. I'm going. Oh
My god. Yeah replaying right good like this is so over
Again with the flash just barely gets away. No one's caught the balcony animation can't get an auto
Yeah, who's gets the magic shield off as well. It's just barely keeps him alive
And then Buzio with some nice blocks, but I cannot believe it's Jackie's who dies in the back of that play.
I don't think anyone can Buzio. I mean Buzio is saving Private Ryan. Saving Private Yeh, who in that play?
Yeah, it's just the shield that came off of the upgraded Mercs first, the chain...
Chainlash of boots, lasers or whatever. Yeah, one of them.
It was what kept him alive there because the flickback should have been enough from Jackie's.
Seven K now by the way.
So yeah, who made that play wasn't funny still hasn't died
You can't call this guy KDA player when he makes place like that, you know like almost suicidal plays and
The fact he gets away with it. Also, we come back to live top turret goes down
Casey feel like their moments away from cementing themselves as the best team for LEC versus and it hasn't even been close. I
Really hope we get
Good noises to yeah who made it that play after the show on some stage
They're coming. You're right. They are coming
Well, I
Think
Casey just needs one more plate. It might be around this all might be around Baron and this one's a corner
China X in a south about this is the Hail Mary to try and recover this game
The case you're already here. John X the spotters and the pops up to come in loss
Okay, fancy footwork to try and buy space, but they got it back away and I think Casey
they burned the Gert can call, but they're immediately going to turn over towards the
dragon.
Lod is in mega though, and that's going to expire.
There's no back out play from Giant X that they can find in the turnabout there.
Baron.
So small win, but again, Sol's here, and Giant X was spotted on Baron.
They're all top.
Soul
for free
Gionax, no, they're back against the wall of this one
They're just trying anything to draw KC out
Draw them into positions where Gionax already have vision set up
And they're gonna try and do it again, it looks like
KC aren't fighting right now
But with the push on topside
Gionax could just try for a repiece
And so concerned about Carnot taking damage with three items
And double mountain and mountain soul
Yike's on no in the back though. No, I think just part of them there. I'll be concerned about Yike as well GA off
Casey had the inside track to mid giant X as this force that I mean you can see they were trying to find a flank angle
But because of it, they've just opened up mid
Calis damage even as a gin on this turret is
Unreal there goes you to have a turret and
Giant X is the central of flank as it's been proved by the wayside
That's what is a Meganar about to run out of the hit flank as well, seen by Yike who goes for the dive,
chilling smite there, a bit of help from Jun needed, Yike just running into these two,
and it's getting worse and worse.
Kana just took a full combo from Jackie's and it didn't even break his shield.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
He didn't think he would get snubbed that much, yeah, ma'am.
He has a little bit, bro.
I'm tiny, tiny little.
Okay.
Well, the Sion was the one losing lane really and now here's how it is I mean lot lots had a good
individual way in this game but unfortunately Gionix haven't been able to piece it together.
Remember again I mean this still got tomorrow while this game with Cement the KC are the best
Gionix still up there they've got the sister team tomorrow so KC Blue would be a nice way to
finish you're able to get revenge against the organization with the way this is going.
A jike picks an angle on the right, Casey run up near, there's no drag enough or anything,
it's just, jike wants to end the game, onto Esmeralda as a GA, the rest of the fight going
mid as well, yeah, who gets a shot back only to the support, and he assassinates himself,
a shut down is okay, 4 on Karna, maybe he can die and yes, he has to resist, he flashes
away, no one shows up to get in the kill, but no, out of range. Meanwhile, Casey is
just playing with the boot, he hasn't even been the cleanest fight, but they're
so far ahead that they're styling on Gynax with ease and Buccio. Does that again.
Flush of the side mix shove, enables a double four Kaleis, and even Yipe gives over three to the
Gyn. We can't count four for Kaleis, but he'll CDA's and he'll deliver as KC cement themselves
as the best team. First place for Carmingport, a place they're all too familiar with from
last blitz but now they'll have to see if they can wreck him with the rest of the
lec versus as they take the top spot going into playoff. And isn't it right
that Khalez gets his 500th lec kill on the stage coming for are your best and
with this new roster who knows where the limit is. It feels sky high at the
moment. The early game from KC is deadly. Early skirmish is going their way. The fact
that Jyke and Busey will gel so well together makes it incredibly hard to try and find some
success in the early stages. And as long as Kana just continues to be a good laner,
the rest of the map is with him. That's right. I think Juno is right, that bottom
lane. The best in the league, Kana the best role player, everything else fits in,
It won't be a player of the game at LEC on X, Yike, Polis or Buccio.
Because KC have rounded out the split so well, like earlier on.
I remember them starting off like against M-Coin that week one.
Little bit shaky. We're kind of wondering like how are they working together.
And then we come into week two and it has been back to back wins outside of the vitality loss
against some of these top teams, other top teams.
And they just look so good. I mean that guy looks good like yeah, who is crazy
Absolutely nuts, so is yike by the way who's with
Thank you very much gentlemen Jake congrats on the way congrats on first place
How you feeling in this moment you seem like it's all very chill for you right now
Yeah, I mean we we want to be first place in the regular and now we did it
So I'm very happy with that and now we focus on the next goal. I guess to win playoffs
All right, one step at a time, simple, clean, easy.
I want to follow up on something that your coach said last week.
There he is over there.
Reeper, he said, Yike is the perfect jungler.
How do you feel about that?
What do you think being the perfect jungler?
That's high praise from a coach.
Now, I know he has to say good things,
but that's the first time I've ever heard a coach say
he's a perfect jungler.
Yeah, it's a bit different to what it tells me,
like, James Friess and all, you know?
I think he wants to be humble to me, so that's nice.
But I mean, I appreciate it, you know?
I want to be the best,
and I want to work to be the best always.
So it's nice to hear this voice always.
Yeah.
I'm curious for you, what has been the big focus in terms of self-improvement?
Because you've had a really successful career, haven't always been able to reach
sites that you've gone for, but what is the main focus for you now to take it to
that next level to keep delivering at the highest level possible?
Probably just a focus much more on myself, basically.
I think I'll play a lot for myself more and trust myself and my own decisions more.
And yeah, I just want to make sure, I know that what I think is good,
I have good thoughts, good decisions in games,
so I believe in them more than what I did last year,
so I think that happened a lot, yeah.
Was the problem in last year's that you were just getting caught up
on what other people were saying,
and you felt like you had better information,
but you didn't trust yourself?
Is it kind of like a self-confidence thing?
Yeah, I won't say I had better information,
but I never really trusted on my own decisions
and my own opinions,
and yeah, I used to listen more to others,
and I always got used to that,
so this year I'm stretching that,
and I used to listen more to me myself,
to myself more, yeah.
I think I now look at you as a veteran, which feels weird because I still remember when you were joining G2 all those years ago
Do you feel like a veteran?
Do you feel like a player who has this voice of seniority this voice of authority or do you still feel kind of like you did when you were
Rookie first starting out? I don't know. It feels weird. I don't I don't want to call this as a veteran
You know, I still feel like a rookie guy, but with my teammates now
I guess I'm more of a veteran like I have a veteran role in the team
So I guess I kind of feel it but I'll try to not think about it
Yeah, what do you think is the number one thing for you guys coming into playoffs
obviously your first seed that you want to focus on to improve as a team because
you've won you've got you know your first place but I know that for you guys
you're always looking at the next goal always looking the next step yeah I mean
I just want to keep improving on the things that we are like do that like I
think we're good at like most of the things but just playing with Jeho playing
with Bitbushu I think for me is most important I want to be as strong as
possible with them like on the same pitch all the time during the game
and I think today we're very good you know with that and I want to keep
definitely seeing that progress I want to ask about the rest of the league
standings are an absolute disarray there's some crazy scenario where G2
doesn't qualify for playoffs Mickey got knocked out earlier a lot of the former
you know banned the brothers not looking super hot do you have expectations on
who's gonna lock up the last few playoffs slots I have no idea this is so
hard like I actually have no idea this is so where what's going on and I'm
just happy that we you know we made it and we're first place so I wish to
Best of luck for all the other teams.
Look, great to know Tandonon as any other.
Yacht, congrats again on securing first place.
Let's send it over to PGL, where Lore is standing by
with two more members of the victorious KC.
That's right, thank you so much, guys.
Welcome to PGL on stage for this special edition
where I'm joined by Kelis and Puzio.
How are you guys doing?
Good.
Good?
Yeah, good, good, good.
All right, because we've been talking a lot
about your synergy in game,
and instead of just asking questions
about how things are going between the two of you.
I actually want to test your synergy with a game.
It's called Duo Queue.
We played it a lot with your teammate last year,
so maybe you saw it.
If you're new to this, Puzio, basically,
I have a list of questions.
You both have a whiteboard.
The goal is to have the same answer to prove your synergy.
So every time I'm going to ask the question,
you're going to have five seconds to either write
your name or his name on the whiteboard.
All clear?
And then you hold it up to the camera.
This is your camera here.
and Kelly's, this is your camera over there.
And then we'll just discuss the answers, 10 questions.
And yeah, let's see how it goes.
You ready?
Yes.
All right, the first question is,
who's got the best drip?
Drim?
Oh, drip.
Stile, yeah.
Who has the best sense of style?
Who dresses the best?
Well, that's very subjective.
That's subjective, yeah.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Okay.
Yeah, I would say Alan too.
Why were you so sure of this?
Well, as I said, it's subjective, so I think my style is the best because of my style.
If I didn't think my own style was the best, then it's the wrong style.
So lack of confidence on your side or just...
No, I just think that like...
I really have like a big dream or something.
I'm just like classic lifestyle, not much, you know?
And Alan is like...
Every time I see his outfit, I'm like...
Yeah, it fits well.
Alright, alright, alright.
Who's got the best music tastes?
Subjective as well.
Five.
4, 3, 2, 1.
Okay, a second point for you guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, there we go.
Obviously.
We're so good at this game.
Yeah, it's gonna be pretty easy, no?
What's your style?
What do you listen to?
What's on your playlist right now?
Exclusively, Lil Uzi Vert.
Love it.
Kalees, what's your style?
What's your gem?
Probably League of Legends music, not much.
Okay, then I get it.
Okay, who's the funniest?
Who tells the best jokes?
Five, four, three, two, one.
Okay, review.
Hey, that's a three out of three.
Yeah, we're so good.
I'm more like a clown, you know?
Yeah, what's your best joke?
I don't have a really best joke, it's like on the moment.
Okay, humor.
I can't...
What's your best joke?
I can't say anything.
You can't say anything like that.
We'll discuss that.
I don't know if you found it.
Three out of three.
Who's the best cook?
Cook?
Yeah.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, OK?
I would say me.
Me?
On the short term, I would say.
Against all the judges and skills, right?
OK.
You don't cook well.
Callis cooks every off day.
He's like planning it the whole week.
His perfect meal.
There's no way.
He's got skills, for sure.
Really?
Yeah.
What's your, like, peak dish that you cook for the team?
Ok, we take it, we take it.
Alright, who's got, we're gonna go into league questions now.
Who's got the best game knowledge?
Oh, I mean, that's hard.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
I mean, this one is really subjective, it's hard, you know?
That's cute.
I feel like I'm learning free call lists every day.
Yeah, I feel like I'm learning from Alan also, it's pretty hard, you know?
Okay, who's more likely to run it down in-game?
Run it down?
Run it down.
Like in-game, like straight-up in-sits.
On stage.
On stage?
Streams it doesn't count.
Yeah.
Okay, well on stage I know.
Ah.
3-2 won't reveal.
Yeah.
I mean, you know.
That's the support thing I feel.
Yeah, like sometimes you gotta lock the Nautilus in the 0 and 10 and just say,
0 and 10, and just say I did my job.
And Feliz?
I agree.
Sparkless never getting caught on side lane,
never catching a wave,
you don't know how to catch.
I'm just saying you're just that big.
I'm playing 4KTA,
so I can't look like I'm in team, you know?
That's true, that's true.
Yeah, the lane princess, I think all of them.
Okay, who is more likely to survive
in a zombie apocalypse?
We're both caught.
Ha ha ha ha.
Just cool.
Gamer things.
No one lives more than anyone, you know?
We just won and we die, that's it.
Five, four, three, two, one.
I will say Alan, because he's like kind of shredded, you know, he's like strong.
So maybe he can fight the zombies.
Okay, I get that.
What could he do?
Well, I would die for him here.
You know, the support, so like, I gotta do it, so he would live.
That's absolutely true.
That is absolutely true.
We're gonna do two more guys.
Who is the most organized in life?
I feel like both are organized, so it's kind of hard.
I'm gonna ask Shapo to send like pictures of your bedrooms and see if it's true or not.
Five, four, three, two, one, okay.
It's kind of hard to win.
I was thinking maybe it's me because like you said the meals and stuff you know like
I'm flying in my meals so maybe like oh it's so organized and stuff but the
thing is you're really organized also so it's a hard question you know.
I'm like a little bit of a clean freak, so I have to put myself for that reason.
Alright, that's not very gamer, honestly.
I guess, yeah, I appreciate it.
Last one, but I think we know.
Who would, maybe not actually, who would win in an IRL fistfights?
You know what?
An IRL fistfights.
Oh, okay.
Obviously me.
Alright.
What's the discussion?
I don't know.
Everyone knows the answer.
If you guys have to, yeah.
But maybe you have the brains.
Oh, it's me.
Okay, no, it's him.
No, no, I'm B.
Game change!
Yeah, it's all possible, right?
Is that a bromance or a romance?
No, I would say that it's a pretty normal reaction to seeing Alan's...
Oh wow, I appreciate it.
Yeah, I mean it feels like everything is going well between you guys, but on a more serious note,
I know that people were commenting ahead of the season that you guys can become...
I can hear it in my ear.
I don't know if you've heard of it, but yeah, who also shout out to him,
one of the most loud person that we have in this case, he rostered.
But yeah, people were praising the fact that you can become a really great bot lane together,
that this is going to be peak synergy, and maybe one of the best bot lanes we have in the West.
I'm surprised to see you guys click so fast.
I'm not surprised that it was going to happen, but I'm surprised that it happened so fast.
So, talk me through what made it so easy for you guys to work together.
Um, just talking to each other.
Honestly, like the first couple weeks we were scrimming,
just every single lane, every single situation, we're like watching our
scripts together and just talking over our thought processes and then once you
do that for enough time you kind of know how your counterpart thinks and then
you just yeah keep going. At least you have less experience than Grigio of
course in the bigger leagues you actually haven't changed that much
support in your life, in your career. How has it been working
together adapting to someone else and your style and someone who has more
experience maybe? Yeah, I mean I didn't change much of course, like I probably
have three or four different supports in my life, so it's always kind of tricky to
change like a bot lane duo, but with Alain it's really easy because like he's
speaking a lot, asking a lot of questions to anyone and stuff and like
as I said we are communicating a lot in-game or outside of the game, always
reviewing like any situation, any matchups and just saying what we want
to do and stuff and like the other just adapting to the other's idea and
And if we think something is bad, then we will say,
oh, I want to do that and stuff.
Like we're just adapting to each other.
And then no matter what, we are trying
to always find a conclusion after the game
if it's bad or not.
So yeah, I mean, it was really easy to be honest.
I think like even the first games were pretty easy.
Like Alan is really good individually
and he's like really smart about the game.
So they're just like the clicks.
And then it's just the way that we can get along
together.
And since we are like communicating a lot,
it's pretty easy.
I love what I'm hearing here.
He's the key player of the game, as you can see here.
Oh, finally!
Finally?
Wait, is that the first one you see?
I think that's my first one.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You've got to ask your fans to vote for you more.
I mean, honestly, I don't mind.
Thanks for the MVP, but the whole team is really good, right?
So I'm not playing to get MVP's.
I'm just playing to win.
I don't really mind.
So I'm really, I prefer this, right?
I prefer having a good team, and everyone having MVP's,
and just me having MVP's, like every game,
because I need to have 40 kills.
Alright, from an experienced support experience, what do you think he progressed in the most so far in the four weeks that we've had?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Still bad.
You're still bad?
You're still a KDA player?
I was on Wings.
I mean, it's hard to say because every scrim week you're progressing in like every aspect of your gameplay, but I would say like his leadership has gone really, really good.
especially with Yahoo and the language barrier there.
Callis has been communicating with him really well
and making sure the game plan is clear
and both carries are happy, so the game's so easy to play.
Love it, love it.
And KC is now locked for first.
There's no team that can match here
even with the games that we're gonna have tomorrow.
That's another thing that we've heard
at the beginning of the season.
People expected KC to be strong
but maybe not as strong that soon.
What do you think made the difference
in this whole madness
that the best of one has been?
the fact that you were able to be the most consistent team that showed the most as well?
I would say that in scrims we worked a lot to actually have a playstyle that would match well, like the best of ones.
Pretty clean and stable gameplay, like if we get a lead then we make sure that the enemy team will not come back from that lead and then we can keep snowballing out of it.
I think the first week was kind of messy. We were not really able to show the way we're playing in scrims.
Like it's always kind of messy the first week, like stage itself in New Year.
But I think from the start of week two, we started to actually play like we did in scrims, be decisive.
Also, we kind of found out our meta or what we think is the best because some things are working in scrims and not in officials or the opposite rights.
So I would say that it's just the work behind the scene that is really making a lot because we're working a lot on scrims, we're working a lot together, we are asking a lot of questions and stuff, the coaching staff is helping us, so yeah, I think it's just a lot of work.
Love it. And I mean you guys play a lot of stuff except your mid laner who keeps on getting a zero, but I feel like people don't ban it against him, so might as well.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys can show in Best of Three and Best of Five especially when we go back to Fielder's.
Let's take a look at the schedule to see what we have for the last day of regular season tomorrow
You're gonna face off against heretics. They woke up a bit
What do you think made them better in the last games that we've seen?
If there's anything I didn't watch much
I kind of watched yeah, it feels like they are playing more together. They're trying to make plans together as a team
Okay, so yeah playing the game the ball friendship power friendship
I mean, yeah, and that's what show and and stand were sending me actually so that makes sense and our and vitality is another game
That we're gonna have lost happens need a win if they want to look in something. That's really surprising though. It's the most
Successful organizations we have in league if nothing and G2 are not locked in already
Their game is gonna lock the fate of a lot of team tomorrow depending on the results
We're gonna have but what the hell is going wrong with G2? That's something we've been asking
I don't know, they're looking shaky. Also like in best of ones once it starts going bad
I feel like every game is way too pressuring
Because you know you practiced a whole week and like you go on stage you play one game and and you can't make mistakes
I feel like people are playing very unnaturally, so yeah, I just feel bad for them. It looks like they're playing
Not like themselves. Yeah, because people keep on saying that they're gonna wake up. It's G2
You never know, but if they don't make playoffs, well, we're not gonna see them for a few months
Who do you think would win for now given the state of both teams?
Kelly's, Fnatic or G2? Who would you give it to?
I would say it's kind of hard because I think there are a lot of pressure on both teams.
In theory I would say that G2 would win.
You come back against G2, especially against Fnatic.
It's kind of hard to back against G2 and they should have their experience.
I think if they find a way to actually play together and like not have this pressure because like they will for sure be pressured like
It's like you're a G2 and you're one game away from getting eliminated from play also
Obviously, there will be pressure and the same side on Fnatic, but yeah, I will say if they can
Play without the pressure and play as a team and like kind of somehow
From today to tomorrow find a way to play good again
Then yeah, they might win. And it's best of once anything can happen
Their game is going to decide the fate of a lot of teams, as we said, themselves, but also M-Coy and Los Fatones.
So stick around and check out all the games we're going to have tomorrow to see what this one will mean before we sign off, though.
Quick note, as we're heading into playoffs, we're going to have a really interesting case we schedule in the next few weeks.
Tomorrow is going to be the last day of the regular season, and after that, LEC vs playoffs will be on Monday, Tuesday, February 16th and 17th.
and the week two of playoffs is a stupid week.
Four days of best of three and best of five at the end
from Friday to Monday, February 20th, until 23rd.
And finally, LEC vs. playoffs is hosted by MCoy in Barcelona
and will take place Friday to Monday, February 27th
to March 1st.
And up next, we're not done
because if you want to watch more League of Legends,
the LCS is up with Team Liquid vs. Sentinels.
Any take on this?
Yeah?
I think Liquid's gonna win.
We'll see about this, but we'll see you also tomorrow, here, same time, same place.
For the LEC, last day of regular season, last day of best of once.
Everything can still happen. Thank you all so much for watching.
Be kind to each other, and we'll see you tomorrow.
Bye bye!
