[00:56:51] Look through your left, through your right

[00:56:53] It's the time to be happy

[00:56:59] As we all face the fight

[00:57:05] And we stray from the light

[00:57:11] Don't we need to fight, baby?

[00:57:21] Feel the rush, feel the time

[00:57:26] Can you feel it?

[00:57:28] With the pain

[00:57:31] Why stand away

[00:57:34] And stand again

[00:57:37] Away

[00:57:40] Again

[00:57:42] Again

[00:57:46] Again

[00:57:48] Again

[00:57:52] Again

[00:57:54] I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man

[00:58:01] Will you turn around from what's to come? Will you face it all?

[00:58:07] Or will you fall away again?

[00:58:13] What's calling out to be found when the time is right?

[00:58:19] The time is right!

[00:58:22] Cause we all face the fight

[00:58:28] And we stay from the light

[00:58:34] Don't leave me, don't come here again

[00:58:43] Feel the rush, feel the tightness

[00:58:49] Can you feel it with the pain?

[00:58:54] Watch it away and stand again

[00:58:59] Always, again

[00:59:06] I feel the light, I feel the tight

[00:59:12] Wash away what used to be

[00:59:16] You make your stand

[00:59:19] Run in your hands again

[00:59:27] Cause we all face the fight

[00:59:33] And we stray from the light

[00:59:39] Turn the page and make it right

[01:01:16] Welcome back everybody to the LEC, a very special day since it's our last day of our

[01:01:34] first week and also we invited all of Jack Spector's fans to join us in the studio

[01:01:41] today.

[01:01:42] There they are

[01:01:53] No, I'm also your fan, but yeah no crowd in the studio today, but that doesn't mean that we're not gonna have fun

[01:01:58] Yeah, we're gonna have a little time. Yeah, I'm excited. Yeah, I think this should be a banger

[01:02:02] Like I'm actually kind of excited to see how this starts to pan out

[01:02:05] Especially since we haven't had somewhere teams play. Yes

[01:02:07] I think this is a nice little step up to kind of get a taster as to where teams are up before G2

[01:02:11] It's true, and we could learn something, maybe even from the pros.

[01:02:18] We have some concepts of the legends that you have to explain to your Gold Evo friend.

[01:02:22] Okay.

[01:02:26] Splat push.

[01:02:28] So, people are on mid and our top laner or mid laner is on bot,

[01:02:32] pressuring the tower, the speed push,

[01:02:35] and then enemy top laner is trying to defend it, but our guy is stronger,

[01:02:39] So he's just taking the towers and speed pushing while we are hanging around mid.

[01:02:44] So if our comp is not as strong 5v5, then doing this will result in them pushing us out and taking control, taking control, taking control.

[01:02:55] So we should put one person here. And if they don't respond, we're just going to keep making progress here.

[01:03:00] So then they have to send someone there. But if this champ is stronger than this champ, then they need to spend two people.

[01:03:06] And when they spend two people here, then you have numbers advantage here, so you can take this base and go here.

[01:03:11] And that's just the general concept. It's splitting up to make the enemies have to respond to you elsewhere.

[01:03:18] And then when they respond elsewhere, you take tempo and do something on the other side.

[01:03:23] So it just gets you more control when otherwise you wouldn't be able to.

[01:03:28] So when you're at Stor's Alina, like for example, let's say Jorik.

[01:03:30] Jorik is one of the best examples for split push.

[01:03:33] You can actually pressure way more than actually three towers.

[01:03:35] And when you can thread towers you're going to extend this lead and make it to tier 3

[01:03:39] and actually make them have to use numbers on you to keep you from side.

[01:03:43] If not, you will just get pressured and will have to pry forever.

[01:03:46] So with these you can have objectives like for example dragon setup

[01:03:49] with the strongest if you can have push deep on the side of the dragon

[01:03:52] or they choose to use TP and be late to the fight or they will end up losing pressure so basically.

[01:03:57] Also with split pushing champions let's say you play like Camille TF

[01:04:00] you don't want to really contest mid ways before you get the side push so

[01:04:04] push, so what you can do in the game is drop mid-pryo and play through the side and try to

[01:04:11] cheat like the side wave, transfer that pressure, walk through the jungle to the mid and help your

[01:04:17] team get the mid push and then you can go back to side push. You should probably do this when

[01:04:21] you have already minions closer to the tower and you can start hitting stuff, it's always better to

[01:04:27] it's always easier to defend compared to pushing a tower so it should be easily defendable

[01:04:31] for your teammates to clear the minions that are under the tower and you can easily take

[01:04:35] the tower by yourself and get a lot of gold for yourself while no one is defending it.

[01:04:43] Makes sense.

[01:04:44] Boosio is really good.

[01:04:45] He was.

[01:04:45] I think Boosio is like a basic coach.

[01:04:48] Even your teacher.

[01:04:49] Yeah.

[01:04:49] He kind of has that vibe to him.

[01:04:50] Yeah.

[01:04:50] Like yeah.

[01:04:51] I mean English is his first language.

[01:04:52] Are you donkey on the others?

[01:04:54] That was a pretty good one.

[01:04:55] That's a pretty low reach I'd say.

[01:04:57] Okay well just make sure he didn't say that.

[01:04:58] You know what?

[01:04:59] Well I just want to compliment the guy.

[01:05:00] I'm sorry.

[01:05:01] I'm sure you did today.

[01:05:03] All right.

[01:05:03] Let's take a look at the schedule and at the standings.

[01:05:06] We had already two days, so our five best of five.

[01:05:08] No, five best of three.

[01:05:09] Jeez, that would have been crazy.

[01:05:10] And today we have SK versus Navi and Team Heretics

[01:05:13] versus Vitality.

[01:05:14] Team Heretics coming fresh off a win versus SK yesterday.

[01:05:17] So we'll see what happens there.

[01:05:18] And Vitality, of course, a team I'm definitely

[01:05:20] looking at, they're chasing that win.

[01:05:23] First up, though, is Navi versus SK.

[01:05:26] SK gaming, guys.

[01:05:29] We had versus now we had the first match of spring.

[01:05:32] Yeah, what do we think?

[01:05:33] Uh, I mean, over to you.

[01:05:36] That could be done a little bit better.

[01:05:38] You know, could be better.

[01:05:40] I don't think I've had a wonderful time.

[01:05:42] And it just feels to me like they haven't already figured out

[01:05:44] how they want to try and play together.

[01:05:46] Like there isn't really much movement from like Mickey,

[01:05:48] say towards leader or, you know,

[01:05:50] how they want to try and approach things.

[01:05:51] And especially when you're looking at, I feel like for me,

[01:05:53] Mickey is the captain.

[01:05:55] This is the guy who set up the projects,

[01:05:57] wants to be the ones to take control.

[01:05:59] I need to see him take control in-game as well.

[01:06:01] He's just not moving to help out people

[01:06:03] or even really picking up the people he needs to.

[01:06:05] I mean, the one bright point has been Jopa.

[01:06:07] I've been really happy to see him as a fellow ADC.

[01:06:09] He's been positioning really well,

[01:06:10] playing really aggressive, pushing the leads,

[01:06:12] and I think it's especially challenging

[01:06:13] as he's coming in as a rookie,

[01:06:15] that he's still like really trying to win these games

[01:06:18] when the veterans are failing to support him in doing so.

[01:06:21] So I'm really happy with him,

[01:06:22] but yeah, there's a tough team right now, you know?

[01:06:25] It's a hard team.

[01:06:26] Hey, I mean, even for a leader, right?

[01:06:27] It feels like no matter what you put him onto,

[01:06:29] which doesn't really seem to be working like we saw the Orianna for the first time.

[01:06:32] It didn't look great. The Zed didn't work out.

[01:06:34] Yeah. I mean, the Aurelian saw last play definitely didn't work out.

[01:06:37] I'm like, where do you go? You know?

[01:06:39] It's true because you're kind of hamstrung and draft

[01:06:41] and also obviously it's hanging over their heads.

[01:06:43] They know that they have to play different champions in the mid lane and the control mages and what not.

[01:06:47] But the Ori-Nocturne combo.

[01:06:49] Yikes.

[01:06:51] I mean, nothing hits.

[01:06:53] I think there's so many times where it's like, okay, either you get the sombrero

[01:06:56] or I'm watching Skiens go into the Nocturne

[01:06:59] and leaders right beside him, but doesn't press E,

[01:07:02] so there's just no ultimate there.

[01:07:02] I thought that was very good.

[01:07:03] I don't want to put it all on him, right?

[01:07:05] The whole team seems dysfunctional.

[01:07:06] It's only up, but it seems like he's getting somewhere.

[01:07:09] So hopefully they just find a better form,

[01:07:11] because if everything works together,

[01:07:12] then it should be better.

[01:07:13] But Navi, they are hot to drop.

[01:07:15] They had a wonderful opening to the Split Dog, though,

[01:07:17] and they were kind of the question mark team for us,

[01:07:19] right?

[01:07:20] Oh, you did so well in versus and the best of ones,

[01:07:22] but can you really have a higher ceiling?

[01:07:24] Maybe.

[01:07:25] Yeah, I mean, this is the team that I was hoping

[01:07:26] that would really kind of level up

[01:07:28] the more time they got to spend together.

[01:07:29] And I think they've been excellent on the way

[01:07:31] that they're starting to try and team fight.

[01:07:32] It looks a little bit more cohesive.

[01:07:34] And I think especially when you looked

[01:07:35] towards the newer members like Relection

[01:07:38] that I think that was where a lot of people

[01:07:39] were kind of hoping that we'd see that step up.

[01:07:41] And he's been fantastic.

[01:07:42] It did need a little bit of help from a Caster curse though.

[01:07:49] With no smile available for Na'Vi,

[01:07:51] this game now feels done and dusted.

[01:07:55] quite as kind of need to cross the T's and dot the I's.

[01:07:58] That's another classic one.

[01:07:59] Or you think I'm a Caster Coaster right now?

[01:08:01] Yeah.

[01:08:01] So I do not think it's possible for

[01:08:03] quite a lose this game.

[01:08:04] No chance.

[01:08:05] Yeah, actually.

[01:08:06] No, I've been serious.

[01:08:08] I've been deadly serious.

[01:08:09] Quite can't lose this game from this position.

[01:08:11] Yeah, 100%.

[01:08:12] Navi's chances of coming back

[01:08:14] are faker than American Sheets.

[01:08:16] I realize that I am setting myself up

[01:08:18] for the greatest Caster Coaster of all time.

[01:08:20] But I truly am.

[01:08:21] We're really hamming it up.

[01:08:22] I truly believe that from this position, this game is unwinnable for me.

[01:08:26] That's my honest...

[01:08:30] Wow, I mean...

[01:08:32] That may have been one of the greatest cast of curses of all time.

[01:08:37] I love how he changed his mind. It's like, no.

[01:08:40] Whoops.

[01:08:40] This doesn't happen.

[01:08:41] I was on the very side. I understood why he said that.

[01:08:44] I was surprised that it's confidence, because it's hard to be that confident about any team.

[01:08:48] But if you're confident about a lot of the things, then I'm not sure you should be confident about it.

[01:08:52] He doesn't believe that salt enhances the taste of food.

[01:08:55] Yeah, that's a weird question.

[01:08:57] I've been told that out there, yeah.

[01:08:59] Just salt? Like, any spices?

[01:09:01] No, salt and just...

[01:09:02] Salt just doesn't interact with food in any way to make the difference.

[01:09:05] It's crazy, like, it's insane. How?

[01:09:07] I don't know.

[01:09:09] I'm just completely laughing at this.

[01:09:11] I know that Chef Various didn't teach him anything, I suppose.

[01:09:14] Maybe he only does pepper. Who knows.

[01:09:16] Anyway, salt and pepper and a little bit of spices all over Navi is really...

[01:09:20] He's been doing amazing. We had him on the desk as well, and he was talking about how, for six months, when he knew he was going to be starting in this roster, he watched every game he learned, he absorbed, and he kind of had it in his mind palace that he was going to be the best, and he has been great.

[01:09:34] And, Dr, I love his confidence. I know my potential.

[01:09:37] Yeah, and I think that's fantastic. That's what you want to see from a newer player coming in. And it's also, he has run the early stages. Like, he has been fantastic on so many different picks.

[01:09:46] He's been able to get control for the team and especially when it comes to his team fights

[01:09:50] Like he has been a standard performer regardless of any sort of champion he's on

[01:09:54] I think that's phenomenal to see for a new player. I love what you're saying, Daita

[01:09:57] I wanted to break down some of Reledge's plays here, especially on the Atrox

[01:10:03] So it's just a champion that he's gotten way too many times like look at his stats on the Atrox

[01:10:09] He's just an absolute monster on the pig and no matter what happens in the game

[01:10:16] He's always able to find leads and carry so I want to go through some of the plays here and just highlight

[01:10:22] Some of the crazy things he's been doing on this a truck

[01:10:25] So it starts up with a red buff invade the Navi M. Koi game where he goes quite on his own lonesome here and takes a lot

[01:10:31] Of damage, but he's quite alright with the Suner Sky with the healing. He's okay

[01:10:36] So he has to back off and now he makes a crucial decision here

[01:10:40] You see that M. Koi and Navi are all grouped up in the red buff

[01:10:43] But he sees that El Yoia is split and he knows that with Poby's help

[01:10:47] He can collapse onto El Yoia and he misses the Q1, but it doesn't matter now

[01:10:52] Poby helps him out here and he kites crucially away from Jojo Pune and El

[01:10:57] Alvaro that way he can take down El Yoia with Poby and then now Alvaro is in a

[01:11:02] Terrible position where he needs to flash over but Reledge is there

[01:11:05] So he ends up falling as well which now is a low Reledge to then go back and rejoin the fight catch

[01:11:11] super off guard and single-handedly winning the teamfight for Navi and then it's just the cherry on

[01:11:18] top. Reledge is just kind of going 1 versus 5 here, he dashes in, he gets the knock up on Talvaro

[01:11:24] and he goes for more. He dodges the nice little cinder EQ from Jojo and at that point Jojo knows

[01:11:31] that it's completely cooked even with the protobelt, even with the flash, Reledge is hitting the

[01:11:35] spells and that's spelled mcoys doom in this one and yeah reledge just had a

[01:11:41] fantastic split thus far and yet a fantastic LEC versus as well so now I

[01:11:46] want to hear from shocks who talked with the rock on how does he even keep

[01:11:51] getting a trucks well that is a million dollar question jack specter and I've

[01:11:58] got the rock here so I could just ask him why did they keep giving reledge

[01:12:02] Well, it's not the only champion that he plays good, right?

[01:12:06] But they can ban it if they want. They still do it, so we'll keep picking it.

[01:12:10] Yeah, that's a good point. He can play all kinds of things.

[01:12:13] We had him on PGL, he was very confident. He said, for six months I was watching them

[01:12:18] and learning how I could be better, and he believes that he can be the best jungler.

[01:12:22] How is it for you as a coach to kind of balance the obvious skill that he has,

[01:12:26] the ego that comes with it, and the fact that you have to keep that under control?

[01:12:30] That's actually a really good question because I'm doing most of the individual work with him.

[01:12:35] So, you know, there's a lot of situations that he thinks he did the best that he could, but I'm bringing him down.

[01:12:41] I'm like, okay, that's a good, that was a good play, but you could do better on this than that part.

[01:12:45] So think about it. I'm trying to build his thought process well, because there are so many new things that he has to learn as well.

[01:12:51] Right? Mechanically, he's like, excellent right now, but about like using Fogmore and using, you know, brain a bit more.

[01:12:58] Yeah, it's something that we need of course getting like through the mobile threes and playoffs hopefully

[01:13:04] It's something that he needs to do better. So I'm giving a good balance. I will say on that one

[01:13:08] That's nice

[01:13:09] He also said that he does have a big voice also within the team coming into pick and bands not to say he's doing it, right?

[01:13:15] But obviously there in the game and in game decisions as such as he developing into the captain. Yeah, he's actually

[01:13:22] getting on the leader, see state that I want him to be. He already like doing like a lot of stuff,

[01:13:28] especially with the early game, he's super vocal and he's the guy who actually guides us through

[01:13:33] every single aspect of the early game on the mid game and needs him to be like more vocal. Right

[01:13:37] now he's doing like a really good steps from that part towards that part, but I need to

[01:13:42] know more confidence towards like the mid game, especially in some situations that are not

[01:13:45] obvious because of course when you're ahead it's quite obvious, right? It's like easy to play

[01:13:51] the game but where you are behind is where he needs actually experience how he should

[01:13:55] play the map and all this kind of stuff but you know I was expecting him to be leader and

[01:14:01] he's actually getting through that process like really good right now so I'm super happy.

[01:14:05] That's awesome.

[01:14:06] Speaking of playing from behind versus Mkoi that was the case as a coach it does not

[01:14:12] make you happy that you know oh hey we can fight back even whatever behind that

[01:14:15] much.

[01:14:16] Yeah we are working a lot of that stuff because again when we were ahead we are

[01:14:20] kind of team that we know to pull the trigger and how to be decisive especially last game version koi

[01:14:25] It was like some moments that were behind and we're actually talking about this concept because for me

[01:14:30] It's like a huge concept what you should do. How do you play? Of course? I cannot like sport

[01:14:35] but

[01:14:36] It was quite easy for them to understand

[01:14:39] I think based on the drug that we had how they should execute it

[01:14:42] But you know there will be like cases that will have harder draft from behind and then we need to think more

[01:14:48] and be more creative and that's a part I think it's part of the process as well because we're a rookie squad and

[01:14:53] It's really good to see that we're actually came back from that game and I was I was really happy watching that I can imagine learning as you go

[01:14:59] Thank you so so much. Thank you your next matchup because right now it is Navi versus SK. Let's go

[01:15:08] And welcome everybody to the final day of week one of spring split for the LEC

[01:15:15] SK take on Navi

[01:15:18] Right around the corner. Players are taking to the stage in SK.

[01:15:21] Tough day yesterday, Vettias, as they were able to pick up a game,

[01:15:24] but were not able to close things out, and things got a little wacky by the end.

[01:15:28] Navi, though, they're riding a high, having a pretty solid start to their LEC spring split.

[01:15:33] I'm going to be honest with you, I think Navi's coming in as heavy favorites,

[01:15:36] coming into the day series.

[01:15:38] SK felt like that they were losing in all three games.

[01:15:41] Wanda, he was a big topic after LEC versus as being the man to kind of watch,

[01:15:46] and then you can't make fun of a

[01:15:50] little bit by tracing. I would

[01:15:52] say like Game three. He

[01:15:53] definitely got camped a lot by

[01:15:56] Shio, but, uh, ultimately we're

[01:15:57] still waiting to see the magic

[01:15:59] that this SK roster has promised

[01:16:01] those because if you contrast it

[01:16:03] to Navi, this kind of rag tag

[01:16:05] combination with two rookies on

[01:16:07] the top side and then kind of

[01:16:09] a mishmash of experience on the

[01:16:11] bottom side. It's it's working

[01:16:13] like this. Navi Ross that

[01:16:14] continues to work and I was

[01:16:15] wouldn't actually show much more improvement.

[01:16:18] I felt like that they would stagnate,

[01:16:19] but it's very common for teams to find that wall

[01:16:22] that's very difficult to overcome,

[01:16:24] but they are slowly but surely finding ways

[01:16:27] to evolve as a team, and that's very promising to see,

[01:16:29] especially how strong their first split of the year was.

[01:16:32] And even into last split, they had a solid showing,

[01:16:35] I didn't have faith on them then.

[01:16:37] I have a weekly podcast, league rundown,

[01:16:39] we rate LCS and LEC.

[01:16:41] And to Mike, I'll admit, I don't know as much

[01:16:44] Yeah, my ratings are pretty bad. Generally, I'm notorious for having bad ones. And I was also incorrect about Navi.

[01:16:51] I had them ranked very towards the bottom because I just didn't see these rookies coming together and actually having the type of performances.

[01:16:59] And Rilech was definitely the standout from Split 1. And also, and we just heard the coach talking about that, like, you know, he's got the mechanics.

[01:17:07] Maybe we're gonna brain a little bit. But he's showing what he's capable of already as just a mechanically gifted player.

[01:17:13] Absolutely and we'll see what carry performance he can have today because he's the man who will be keeping our eyes on

[01:17:20] Especially going up against SK is the bands already come through thick and fast. Yeah, we got karma. We got Orianna and got Nautilus

[01:17:27] leader banding the Orianna there was actually a funny story we'll talk about later on about

[01:17:31] Is how that went for him yesterday?

[01:17:33] I know it's that though Varys pantyhonna with a J4 and it's gonna be rise locked in first pick here for a

[01:17:38] I mean, I think this is a great denial away from leader because it is one of his most played throughout his career

[01:17:44] And it's one of the more I mean leader champion pool has always been a topic of conversation throughout his entire career

[01:17:51] And he's always tried to argue that I can play majors. I can do all of these things. I just

[01:17:57] Have skill on all these other assassin type champions

[01:18:00] I can have these car performances who saw this ad yesterday

[01:18:02] Yeah, but he does not have the impact that he he promised

[01:18:05] And so we'll see if he's looking at something interesting today. Casio could be a good answer into the rise right now

[01:18:10] It seems this case instead focusing on their boss side of the riff Ash Seraphine seems to be the direction

[01:18:14] And I think it just makes a ton of sense that the current meta Ash Seraphine feels very strong

[01:18:18] Especially with the north of the span already if I like SK could read the play. Okay. Well

[01:18:29] If you said guess 25 champions, I would not have guessed Yasuo

[01:18:33] If he would give me 50, I don't know if I would against Yasuo in terms of what they should go for.

[01:18:36] The question is, is it purple Yasuo or green Yasuo?

[01:18:38] I'm going to find out. I'm going to find out.

[01:18:40] I know, I know you are.

[01:18:42] But the thing about Yasuo is it's one of the leaders most played personally.

[01:18:46] I don't know about his all-time career, I can have a quick look.

[01:18:49] But it's just something where Yasuo, Zed, Yone, these are all champions that fall under his wheelhouse.

[01:18:58] So he's got 21 games professionally and he has a 61.9% right.

[01:19:02] Okay, pretty good win right now.

[01:19:03] Yeah, so it just kind of shows he is a player that when he gets his champions typically performs very well

[01:19:10] That's what he's kind of known for and so yeah, he's looking to get comfort now

[01:19:14] The thing is I've argued for a lot of this year that they just aren't AD midlaners that enable AP junglers

[01:19:21] But now this opens up the pool a lot

[01:19:23] It does but you also want something to set up the Osmo and that's what I'm confused about when I see Seraphine

[01:19:28] We know the ashes gonna go with it so you don't have like a Nautilus to pair

[01:19:31] So I'm expecting the jungler to provide that knockup. Maybe a top lane if you want to go like so.

[01:19:35] Have you heard of Dianne Yasuo?

[01:19:37] Oh, you know what? That's a good point, actually.

[01:19:39] It's been a while since I've had against a Yasuo game.

[01:19:42] It's funny because most Dianne Yasuo games I think I've cast have been leader games.

[01:19:47] But I think G2 used to do a while ago back in the Perks roster when they used to play Yasuo bot and stuff.

[01:19:52] That's neither here nor there. I'm best going to be removed from the pool because top lane is now going to be the focus.

[01:19:57] The beautiful thing about SK as well is that they've already demonstrated they can play AP top lanes.

[01:20:02] Like you saw the Ken in yesterday, it didn't work out super well for Wunder,

[01:20:05] but it is something that he's played a lot throughout his career.

[01:20:07] Also, he's known for playing some wacky picks on the top side of the Rift,

[01:20:11] so don't be too surprised if we do see something unique up there.

[01:20:14] But I think right now both teams are quite happy with the bot side of the Rift that they've gotten.

[01:20:17] Both midlaners are going to be fighting for that push.

[01:20:20] The thing about Yasuo is once he gets that level two,

[01:20:22] he can actually contest the wave very early on actually,

[01:20:26] especially against mages who don't quite have that wave clear just yet. I would argue that Rize is a bit of an exception,

[01:20:31] simply because he does actually have access to so much wave early on, but that comes at the cost of mana,

[01:20:37] which obviously doesn't struggle with. So it's going to be an interesting dynamic between the two mid laners

[01:20:42] to see who can actually control the wave and actually start moving. Ganks are going to be extremely valuable.

[01:20:47] So I'm hoping we do see things like Vi, Zin, I was going to say Pantheon Jarvan, but obviously the Pantheon Jarvan would have been a way.

[01:20:53] So, will that Vi be high in priority, or will the Zed instead be prioritized here as SK will get that first choice of junglers if they so choose?

[01:21:01] I definitely want them to go... I would advise they lean more towards that engaged jungler with the AP top.

[01:21:07] We know that Wunder plays them like you mentioned, the Kennen, the Rumble's also currently still available unless Navi want to take it away.

[01:21:12] They think we're the Kennen instead. So Rumble is still on the table right now if they want to go for that.

[01:21:16] And then that would leave open options for Skeens to be that engage, and there it is.

[01:21:21] It's gonna be wonder on the AP top laner. This is what Yasuo allows like it to highlight it

[01:21:27] It is an 80 mid laner so they can very comfortably put AP in that topside

[01:21:31] And now you get to AP in the jungle or not

[01:21:34] Do they want like a Diana? Do they want us in jail?

[01:21:37] Because I think the concerns for me is I think now we can just slam by here if they want to

[01:21:41] Reletch he is more known for his unique picks like atrox would also fit the bill for him very comfortably right now

[01:21:48] We joked about it for Mainter. He is branded as a bit of a tank merchant

[01:21:53] but he just seems to be his his go-to and

[01:21:57] Cassante very much fits into that motif. Yeah tank assassin, bruiser, frontline, backline, all the things

[01:22:04] But it's gonna be locked in for Mainter

[01:22:05] And now we can see what Ralech will pull out like you mentioned and everyone's pretty much aware of at this point

[01:22:11] Loves the top laners in the jungle

[01:22:13] But instead is gonna go for that Vi as he would also mentioned

[01:22:16] Well, you did learn recently. Top lane in the jungle.

[01:22:19] True.

[01:22:20] Bye.

[01:22:20] Yeah.

[01:22:23] What are we going to get?

[01:22:24] Yeah, we talked about the Xen earlier.

[01:22:26] Diana was kind of the main AP option that I was thinking about.

[01:22:30] The number of knockups that SK have isn't exactly abundant.

[01:22:33] Yeah, but Xen has both a knockup in his Q and is ulted.

[01:22:38] X is a knockup as well.

[01:22:39] True.

[01:22:40] But the ulti, you kind of want them to stick together

[01:22:43] because there's always the option where you knock them away

[01:22:45] way and then the answer was not all team everybody at the same time sometimes the tech can be

[01:22:49] Like your your zen you Ian to say

[01:22:53] Nami yeah something like that

[01:22:55] Then Nami gets the mark on her so you all take her on away from the Nami

[01:22:58] But then you hit the 80 carry which then I say Zeddy, which Yasuo can insta

[01:23:02] Click on to so good point

[01:23:04] There's some tech that you can do how deliberate they are with it

[01:23:08] So we'll have to see because yesterday honestly like so you talked about the Hori Anna

[01:23:12] Yeah, I was convinced for the first half of that game that leader didn't know how to do the the knockdown

[01:23:18] Oh, no, no, no press. I'm not this not to fly in with no shop. I was gonna bring up

[01:23:23] I was like we did not see synergy yesterday. Yeah exactly

[01:23:27] So I was legit like does he know it does he know and then I did see I think I like I forget the exact timer

[01:23:32] But I did end up seeing it. He ended up getting a kick and I was like, okay

[01:23:35] Okay, so they decided that they just weren't doing it earlier on in the fight in the game

[01:23:38] That's that's fine, but I was coming like I was washing after Lee

[01:23:42] I was like is he gonna do it once this game like I'm still convinced some of schemes is paranoia is worth frustration paranoia

[01:23:48] Is where I'm just gonna do it myself. I don't need it. Whatever. It's fine. I see eyes. I'm gonna get him

[01:23:53] But this time around it's gonna be hard to come to pull off

[01:23:55] But still there is combos between mid and jungle leader and schemes are gonna have to find a smoother

[01:24:02] Execution this time around SK yet to pick up a win here hoping to grab their first one of spring

[01:24:08] Na'Vi hoping to continue their momentum. SK vs Na'Vi starts right now.

[01:24:14] So first thing I notice, Lina is running the...

[01:24:19] Excuse me, I have to blow my nose for a second there.

[01:24:22] You know, it's anticipation, you're building the anticipation buddy.

[01:24:25] Lina's running exhaust.

[01:24:27] Which we've been seeing more and more from Midlaners.

[01:24:29] I am personally a fan of Midlaners that don't run TP.

[01:24:35] because I think the home guard boots, the upgraded boots, it's just so good man. It's so so good.

[01:24:40] I think it provides, I think it provides, you need a way more side lane threat.

[01:24:47] And I've got to come myself already because SK after a pretty interesting start to the early game,

[01:24:52] they've hard committed into a deep invade onto the blue buff. It looks like Navi is completely

[01:24:58] unaware of this. They've set up no early vision to track it. The one war that they did have

[01:25:02] as the Jolly Man makes his way onto the screen again.

[01:25:05] Yeah, learning about the lore of the Jolly Man this weekend was what I didn't expect.

[01:25:10] That's lore?

[01:25:11] There is lore, but back to the game, so to your point, he's going for an invade.

[01:25:14] I love level 1s.

[01:25:15] A lot of people rode off level 1s with the changes going into this year, into the season

[01:25:20] saying, yeah, with Aminion spawning so much quicker, you can't do as much, but invades

[01:25:24] like this can really set a jungler behind Ralech is going to realize right now that

[01:25:28] his buff is gone, but he's not able to smite it away.

[01:25:32] So, Rilech actually does pick up the gromp.

[01:25:34] That's a blunder, I think.

[01:25:36] That's big.

[01:25:36] He used his smite on the blue buff to secure it quicker, but then Rilech...

[01:25:41] I wonder if he had information to go for a gank in mid.

[01:25:43] He's just gonna go straight on the leader.

[01:25:44] That's flash early from the yaza.

[01:25:47] All right, you know what?

[01:25:48] I'm gonna say it.

[01:25:49] I don't think that invade is gonna affect Rilech very much.

[01:25:53] A lot is happening right now, so there's a couple things to break down.

[01:25:55] Number one, I don't know how Rilech was made aware.

[01:26:00] even was aware because he adapted his path into path from rafters into his bot side. That may have been his game plan right from the start.

[01:26:07] He'll rafters into bot side path, but in my head he wanted a clear top side into bot, which is exactly what Ski is expected to.

[01:26:15] So he's thinking, I'm safe, Ralech has no information, there's no reason why he wouldn't know any of this.

[01:26:20] As far as we can tell they weren't spotted out at all. Yeah. And so then he, well, so this is interesting, this quote specifically because his brain is massive.

[01:26:29] That was a great move right there. That was instinct.

[01:26:32] That was new. Okay, we have a 1-2 on the mid lane as leaders jumping in on the...

[01:26:35] POVIE AND FINDS IT!

[01:26:37] MORTAL STEAL FOR FIRST BLOOD!

[01:26:40] That had to have been a crit, right?

[01:26:41] There's no way POVIE...

[01:26:43] Like, POVIE, he did not expect that damage to come through from the Q.

[01:26:47] The exhaust doing some work there.

[01:26:49] God, okay, so there's so much to talk about here in this early game.

[01:26:52] Because the...

[01:26:54] The invade from Skeens ends up not doing anything.

[01:26:57] It does split the map in half, isolating Paris and Sandeep, which is ultimately what SK wanted,

[01:27:02] but in an ideal world, they put Reletch behind.

[01:27:05] That they didn't succeed on.

[01:27:06] Reletch is actually in a very comfortable spot right now.

[01:27:09] Sophie is all ready to go.

[01:27:10] It's popped here.

[01:27:11] We see Yoppa looking for a lot of damage out of Paris, and Sandeep stun-land from Mickey.

[01:27:17] And Yoppa not having enough damage to kill Paris, but sending a message in the bot side.

[01:27:22] Yeah, buddy, I feel like you're going to struggle to get a lot of this analysis out.

[01:27:24] He seems to hear a scrap.

[01:27:25] Yeah, I mean, the analyst desk can take their time breaking all of it down.

[01:27:29] Just understand the views at home.

[01:27:30] There was a lot of cool sequences that happened in the early game.

[01:27:34] Knights punnets from Navi.

[01:27:35] But the thing is, this should have been very Navi-favoured in the early game,

[01:27:38] but this was all changed out because Lita finds a solo kill.

[01:27:41] Exactly, after flashing!

[01:27:42] Like, he early flashed the vine coming in, was still able to find it.

[01:27:46] Because him losing flash was one of the biggest problems of that situation.

[01:27:50] Now they're going for another play in mid.

[01:27:51] The wave isn't a bad spot for Poby, but he smartly hugs the bot side of the river.

[01:27:55] So because he's expecting the jungler to be on the top side of the rift. So good adaptation there from Poby

[01:28:00] And he's going for more right now. Poby is in some trouble as leader has the minions to bounce around

[01:28:05] Using them to great effects here. This team is really committed to stealing as many camps as it can

[01:28:10] But you can see camp clear wise. He's quite behind that of reletch right now

[01:28:14] Reletch already on a fast track to level six. He's level five, bro

[01:28:17] He's got a full level advantage over his jungle opponent

[01:28:21] Um, but he's just came with the gold lead. So

[01:28:23] So, really cool stuff happening in this early game, and the problem that Skeens is going

[01:28:30] to run into is Vi is just going to be more accelerated, so Rilech is just going to have way more

[01:28:35] options in the early game to actually do stuff, and I promise he was going mid.

[01:28:38] I'm imagining as he's currently hovering there with the help of Paris, anytime I

[01:28:43] see a Nami in mid lane, I expect just the 1W walk away, but maybe that's the sort

[01:28:47] of backup Rilech is, he's actually invading deep into Skeens, he's on the gromp right

[01:28:51] Okay, now that's just immediate Vault Breaker in.

[01:28:54] Raleigh says, this is my jungle.

[01:28:57] You had your fun with that invade and from now on it looks like I will be controlling this game.

[01:29:02] Another one, not able to land the damage this time around.

[01:29:05] This game actually tries to trade right on back.

[01:29:07] He's got Leader coming in as backup.

[01:29:09] Poby's still pretty far away so now Raleigh's actually kind of alone.

[01:29:13] Lizes, level 6, the Rumble's gonna come in.

[01:29:15] Vault Breaker back.

[01:29:16] Raleigh, you're just gonna solo kill Scenes.

[01:29:18] Oh the knockup leader had six and Wunder gets the kill coming in with the equalizer.

[01:29:24] Reletch getting punished for the invade.

[01:29:26] Wow, so Reletch just overstays.

[01:29:30] He could have just taken the gromp and then peaced out.

[01:29:32] That should have been more than enough, but instead he got way too overconfident and

[01:29:38] he ended up being punished for it.

[01:29:42] Yeah.

[01:29:43] Nice roam from Poby thinking that he can use his ultimate to collapse quicker, but

[01:29:45] schemes is like if I can just get the knockup off, my Yasuo can come in, ulti in, turn the

[01:29:50] tide to the fight, the rumble also came down as well. So in a situation like this, normally

[01:29:55] Nid and Top would have lost some farm, lost some experience as a result, but because

[01:29:58] one that gets the kill, he's not too upset about it, you know, on the mid lane, the

[01:30:02] lead is able to catch that whole wave. So SK in a really good position here in the

[01:30:06] other game.

[01:30:07] Fantastic start for SK, this is what they wanted, and I gotta say off of another unique

[01:30:13] picked from Leader as some training the bottom side of the 2v2 yet again here.

[01:30:16] Once the Ferris is just going to back off. So I want to make a point here because

[01:30:19] this was something that we talked about yesterday. Leader's champ pool did not

[01:30:23] reflect what we expected. Actually we're going to have to get back to that because

[01:30:25] there's another invade happening on our screen. Schemes on the blue buff yet

[01:30:29] again. Leader helping him out this time. They want Schemes to hit level six for

[01:30:33] the left side of the back of the Pogui this time around but now he's jumped out.

[01:30:35] He's going to hit level six. Has the season to say Paris with the bubble.

[01:30:40] Flash forward for Mickey to try and save his jungler, but it's not enough.

[01:30:43] Skeen's will go down, traded for Reletious. Now, Leader is unleashed, chasing down Poby with the ghost,

[01:30:48] side stepping the Qs, and is able to get some damage back onto him.

[01:30:51] So, one for one trade, both junglers go down.

[01:30:54] Wow, so much fighting, and now it's the top laners.

[01:30:57] All out for Mainter. Wunder doesn't have the equalizer from the earlier kill that he picked up, so he has to flash to save.

[01:31:03] Okay, so there's a lot of action happening on the Rift right now.

[01:31:05] Skeens came into today and he said I want to steal camps and that has been his

[01:31:11] whole mantra. He has some bot prior we think he can make this play he's got his

[01:31:15] mid laner right by his side and that win wall placement was beautiful from

[01:31:18] leader because it made it super difficult for Poby to actually contribute.

[01:31:21] The only reason Poby got it involved in that play was because of a blast!

[01:31:24] So, Na'Vi they asked him to back up for let's say it's my turn.

[01:31:30] So Skeens was on a control war didn't realize it now we'll clear that out

[01:31:33] But in comes the vault breaker. Reledge is ready for it yet again has Paris behind him. The roaming Nami

[01:31:41] Skeens no flash still level 5 as he will die to reledge in his own jungle. This is bully, Invarius.

[01:31:49] This feels personal. Both junglers are committed to death.

[01:31:54] They have set their sights on arguing that the enemy camps do in fact belong to them.

[01:32:00] And the other one says, ah, ah, I'm coming for yours.

[01:32:03] They should just handshake, just swap jungles at this point.

[01:32:05] No, no, no. They got a fist fight for every single one, but it all comes back to that early game where Skeen's level 5.

[01:32:10] This is Relic's level 6. He ends up smite stealing his own blue buff away.

[01:32:14] He does die. It's Leader that gets that kill, which is still an advantage for SK, given how strong Leader is now in the 1v1.

[01:32:20] Like, he's not afraid to go for this scrap at all, but Skeen's is just falling further and further behind.

[01:32:26] Level 7. Now ticked over for Relic.

[01:32:28] Genny has his whole top side to play still.

[01:32:30] Two levels up on Skeen's.

[01:32:32] He's now on the bottom side, hits level 6 right there off of that buff, and is straight onto the dragon, so this is actually nice.

[01:32:40] He's got the push from his bot side and his mid lane. SK will get the first neutral objective of the game.

[01:32:46] Even though Skins fall behind in his own individual clear, he's still focused on the team play and playing around what his lanes are able to help him out with.

[01:32:53] Yeah, it's a good call just because he has awareness that Vy's likely on the top side given that he did steal away his blue,

[01:32:59] stole away his gromp, he's likely just going to path back in that direction.

[01:33:02] So he's relatively safe, especially with the pride that he has in both bot and mid.

[01:33:05] And remember, we talked about how that mid pride is going to be super important in this game.

[01:33:08] Well, because of the lead that Leda has now built up for himself,

[01:33:11] the fact that he's got the Vamceptor to get that extra bit of sustain in the laning phase as well,

[01:33:15] he should now be able to consistently contest that wave.

[01:33:19] You can see he's continuing to build up a healthy lead.

[01:33:21] Places he actually used to go looks like only one for now. Yeah, but information garnet

[01:33:25] They can see all the camps that have been cleared. They realize that by is very likely on the both side of the rift

[01:33:31] So far ahead just in the individual clear department of five versus zinja

[01:33:35] This is not what you expect, but it just goes back to that initial invade schemes not getting enough done

[01:33:40] And now it's gonna be the rest of the game pretty much a story of how can he try and equalize?

[01:33:45] So far his team and the solo laners in particular are helping a lot with that leader did not have a great series

[01:33:50] yesterday if we're being totally honest about it wonder also was struggling a

[01:33:55] bit but so far early on here these are the rocks for SK they're the ones that

[01:33:59] are actually giving them not really a goldie I am it's basically leader kind

[01:34:04] of holding on to that right now as he is the target as well we're let's coming

[01:34:07] in that's another flash from leader very preemptive with those to make sure

[01:34:12] that he's not giving any chance for the opponents to actually get on top of

[01:34:15] them as now we actually have another all out in the top lane main tier

[01:34:18] Fancet himself another 1v1 wonder does not flash but this time is able to walk away

[01:34:24] Quite a commitment that for me. Oh, yes. I has no flash flies in the

[01:34:29] And now this time around no flash

[01:34:31] They're just gonna pull the trigger great wind wall the block Poby no follow-up damage

[01:34:35] So it was only reletch under turret. I leaders playing so much better

[01:34:40] This is actually incredible. Yeah, so a gameplay that we're seeing on our screen right now

[01:34:44] I mean it's it's just one of his company pigs. We took a lot about it

[01:34:47] We identified like it's one of his most played in his career and the placement of the room wall again

[01:34:53] Just beautifully done skeets now using this opportunity to go and grab himself the grubs

[01:34:57] But also like everything's going kind of the way we expected remember earlier

[01:35:01] We said for lech when he has that ulti he wants to invest in it to mid because this mid prior was so important

[01:35:06] But they get the flash out from leader

[01:35:08] He has to pay respect for but now he doesn't as much because with the vile to make gone

[01:35:11] Leader can play with just as much confidence as he's been playing with as the crups are now secured and early objectives go in the way of SK

[01:35:18] And I mean at the top of the day the analysts were talking about it

[01:35:22] They said leader was the wild card of this team and I think he's living up to that right now

[01:35:27] He had the Zed pull out yesterday get the Orianna game and now I'm a comfort pick in the Yasuo

[01:35:32] He has a chance to carry but wonder is currently the target here. Reletches hovering on top side

[01:35:38] Not have season to sit but does have all blinker and flash and finds it flash response from wonder

[01:35:44] So that is just a trade of summoner spells, but wonder's gonna have to take a reset now

[01:35:48] Well wonder yet. He doesn't have his ultimate. They're trying to interrupt it. It's the second to get away behind

[01:35:53] He just walks up and smites

[01:35:56] Wonders back is canceled

[01:35:57] Mainters pushing the wave in and that means wonders in the danger zone

[01:36:02] It's gonna be mentioned that takes it up first and reletch with the kill

[01:36:05] Yeah, so not much that he could have done there really I guess you could have argued that he shouldn't have based underneath this tower

[01:36:10] He was not expecting reletch to be as bloodthirsty as he was

[01:36:14] But again, we've seen this so many times from the RV now where like when they can't really do anything on the roof

[01:36:19] What are they do gang top?

[01:36:20] It's like that. What do we do? What do we do? Oh, we can gang talk. It's all good and it works

[01:36:25] Hey, they did it against me when they're doing it again. They're getting says K

[01:36:27] They've actually got themselves onto the cold leave not that it matters a huge amount skins though

[01:36:31] No surprise back in the enemy jungle, perhaps for a bot, but this time Navi's here to respond

[01:36:37] Looks like he's not going to get much off the back of it

[01:36:39] Yeah, I mean we there was a couple of moments where we weren't invading and now we are right back to the story of the game being

[01:36:46] The jungle invades not gonna work this time as the enchanted crystal arrow goes up close not gonna land on anybody

[01:36:52] Very very close though

[01:36:54] Great defensive jungling here from Navi. It's not just reletch who's kind of sensing out anytime skeens is there

[01:37:00] It's also the rest of the team now adapting Poby. This is now twice

[01:37:03] He's left lane to kind of help out push away the invade his bot lane was there to help him out now, too

[01:37:08] So

[01:37:09] Yeah, I mean we don't hear the comms

[01:37:11] But I imagine this is a team effort here to kind of control

[01:37:14] Scenes as invades and stop this because we didn't hear from production earlier that they checked the table

[01:37:18] Let's they didn't have vision. They didn't see schemes go for that invade earlier

[01:37:21] Yeah, I mean I really want to know what I hope if we get a sideline

[01:37:26] Like how did he go because it really did

[01:37:29] it's shaped the other game pretty in favor of Navi because imagine you're

[01:37:33] relaxed you move it if you do a traditional path walking your bot side

[01:37:36] all that's gone you're now like oh do I cross map like it because the map would

[01:37:41] then be split bot becomes easy access for the sorts coming through hit the

[01:37:45] target jump in on the Yopah they're in there initially and skee

[01:37:51] getting flash and heal out from Navi's body yeah so that's it not go the way

[01:37:56] they wanted that to go at all. Paris used the bubble onto Sam B to give him bonus movement

[01:38:02] speed and then he doesn't have the bubble. So Joppa then just says, okay, let's fall,

[01:38:08] well. But that's going to be an easy dragon. I mean, no son of a... the Rumble's also

[01:38:12] come down. Wanda's a little bit paranoid about another dive on the top side.

[01:38:16] And Eski might still just look for it. Ooh, Encore goes a little wide, same with the

[01:38:20] equalizer. Good side steps from Paris and Sam D. So two ultimates used. It's a dragon

[01:38:26] Second trade is essentially for the top lane, because SK sent all five members as leader and a 1v1.

[01:38:30] Again, the exhaust goes down, landing those Qs on the Poby, but not going to find the kill.

[01:38:35] Now in comes Ralech. No flash available on leader, cease and desist for the lockdown.

[01:38:40] He's trying to dance around and not get Poby the kill.

[01:38:42] And Shanna Crystal Arrow, almost there in time, but it's Ralech with another kill.

[01:38:47] Oh, in comes Skeenjump. Poby was taking damage from the minions the entire time.

[01:38:50] He's got the realm warp and Ralech backs up his mid laner, giving him the escape option.

[01:38:55] Skin's getting damaged down, but a TP defensively will mean Skin's backs off, Navi defend the play.

[01:39:01] I mean, yeah, well played by Navi, they successfully shut down Leader on a sideline who's looking very scary.

[01:39:06] With the blade of the Ruin King completed, he is comfortably winning out on that 1v1.

[01:39:10] There's a little that Poby can do against it other than run away.

[01:39:13] Thanks to the Phaser, she does have that additional movement speed, which Leader has to respect.

[01:39:17] And you can see that Leader, he was fishing for a knockup, he was fishing for the outplay,

[01:39:20] but the tornado times out right at the end of this play, and you'll see, he stacks it up, he stacks it up.

[01:39:24] He backs it up, the damage looks good, but then the phase rush gets propped, he's got a disengage,

[01:39:28] and now he's the tornado, because he kind of has to, it's about to wear off.

[01:39:32] And he's thinking, if I could just get a third stack at the knockup, I'll go back to life.

[01:39:36] Now he's got the backup of the team here, it's everybody on the main turf.

[01:39:39] He had already used the flash earlier, there's all out.

[01:39:42] He's trying to get some damage under the wave, because that's all I can focus on right now.

[01:39:46] Three members around him, he's taking his time to go down, the leader actually gets jugged.

[01:39:50] Shut down gold over the scheme.

[01:39:52] I'm kind of surprised that leader held on to his ult for so long.

[01:39:55] The problem with this play is it's a lot of resources committed to a side lane with Herald

[01:40:01] up, with top tower exposed, with basically all options available to Na'Vi, so they push

[01:40:05] in mid, they push through top, they get the tower, like that death really is inconsequential

[01:40:11] to Na'Vi.

[01:40:12] I would say the only misplay was made to use the flash, but he thought that he

[01:40:15] could get a kill in that situation, they're like, hey, why not?

[01:40:18] But yeah, Harold secured that mid-tire is now very exposed very easy objective for Navi to play full with the next dragon sporting in about two and a half

[01:40:25] Minutes like yeah, not being a very comfortable spot. Yeah, I feel like Navi still have enough control of this game

[01:40:32] It's only leader. That's the problem. He's the one with the gold lead for SK side

[01:40:36] So when you look at the overall gold lead is 1.4 K for Navi

[01:40:40] But when 1.3 of that is on your vine and then also your bot lane is ahead

[01:40:45] Clicking on the Corekeeper's Ash matchup, I just favor the Corekeeper with the raw damage output anyway when it comes to these teamfights.

[01:40:50] I feel like they're gonna be just fine. SK is ahead in the Dragon Department though.

[01:40:54] So if they can keep stacking these up, Mount Soul, not traditionally considered one of like the biggest win conditions in the game,

[01:41:01] but it still feels nice to have, especially when you have this kind of dedicated frontline

[01:41:05] that makes everybody a little beefier, as the Enchanted Crystal Arrow lands, stun on the Paris,

[01:41:09] followed up with a charm, and that is a kill for Yopa. Yeah, easy, easy pick.

[01:41:14] I'm noticing the one that keeps grouping up with the team doesn't leave top exposed

[01:41:18] But I guess he's really paranoid about a collapse on silent

[01:41:21] He now has to go and answer that way this seems actually takes the audacious charge on a pohy right there

[01:41:26] Nobody else was buying that they're opening up bought basically they're making sure the ball can be secured that yes

[01:41:31] It's a good Harold response from Navi should be a train of towers with Navi ultimately still being an objective up

[01:41:37] And they're so able to maintain that gold advantage as well. It's shrinking slightly but

[01:41:42] still at something for Navi right now is the who ride the Herald now towards the

[01:41:46] bottom turret and they're also looking at leader here as Bobi comes in that's a

[01:41:49] win while early and the Herald for the knock up! Leader! Getting CC the death

[01:41:56] reletch with the kill that was pretty creative use of the Herald right there

[01:42:00] very efficient it absolutely was because it completely cut off the escape from

[01:42:04] leader who had pushed an extra wave onto that bot side of the rift and he

[01:42:08] isn't getting punished for it this does open up Wanda to start actually

[01:42:11] hitting away on that top tower, but he can't hit it for very long.

[01:42:13] As the resets have come through,

[01:42:15] and Navi is going to get back out onto the map.

[01:42:17] So Navi, continuing to find advantages

[01:42:19] off of every single player that SK has made.

[01:42:20] But this next dragon you highlighted earlier

[01:42:22] is going to be a big point of contention.

[01:42:25] Both teams want to grab that.

[01:42:27] SK put themselves on sole point,

[01:42:28] but Navi, to slow the acceleration of SK.

[01:42:31] Exactly. If Navi can pick this up,

[01:42:33] it's going to buy them a lot more time in this game.

[01:42:36] And we have things like the Ryze, things like the Cassante.

[01:42:39] you have decent scaling options for you.

[01:42:43] And then Kasate back into the game as well.

[01:42:44] I mean, he was getting the camps early on

[01:42:47] or rather the ganks early on.

[01:42:48] And Kasate, once you hit that two item spike,

[01:42:50] you're just unkillable, essentially.

[01:42:51] He's at that point right now.

[01:42:53] Wonder's still working towards that second item.

[01:42:56] And it doesn't seem currently like SK

[01:42:59] has the numbers around to the dragon pit.

[01:43:00] It's spawning at 15 seconds.

[01:43:02] Wonder has TP, he's pushing this way, Vin,

[01:43:04] but he's gonna have to get down there soon.

[01:43:06] Yeah, he's channeled the TP now,

[01:43:07] So, Prampto trying to get down to the original aero will land on the Paris, plus the Encore.

[01:43:12] Chain CC, they got the Nami!

[01:43:15] SK find a pick right before the objective.

[01:43:18] Perfect timing for SK.

[01:43:21] Poby, he doesn't have the realm warp, he can't really create a flank.

[01:43:24] Navi don't have the numbers to test this.

[01:43:26] And so SK will put themselves on the sole point.

[01:43:29] Even though Navi are finding overall map advantages, these dragons belong to SK.

[01:43:35] They're sending themselves up nicely for the soul.

[01:43:38] Five minutes away, Navi will have to gain back control over that neutral.

[01:43:43] You're seeing just the strength of Ash's Seraphim Proformal.

[01:43:45] Like it's just, it's a scary combo just by itself.

[01:43:49] We'll look back at it.

[01:43:51] Sandy basically says, hey, I'm gonna dodge this arrow.

[01:43:53] The flash is up, or what I can tell.

[01:43:55] Yeah.

[01:43:57] Actually, Paris's flash was up, I do believe, at that moment.

[01:44:00] Yeah, it does look like it.

[01:44:02] To me.

[01:44:03] That's just unfortunate right there,

[01:44:04] because, you know, the AD carry is able to dodge it,

[01:44:07] but the support's not ready for it.

[01:44:08] No, Mikhail's either on Paris right now.

[01:44:10] I feel like that should be an item

[01:44:11] that's now on the mind of Paris to pick up.

[01:44:15] Make sure you're able to deny those arrows coming in,

[01:44:17] because Yoppa, I mean, he's been finding

[01:44:18] a lot of these arrows now, this game.

[01:44:20] And I got to talk about him a little bit.

[01:44:22] I don't think you have time.

[01:44:23] Oh, never mind.

[01:44:24] We have a fight breaking out here.

[01:44:25] We have a pick breaking out here,

[01:44:26] as it's Poby all alone in the top.

[01:44:28] However, right at the Baron pit, SK,

[01:44:32] they'll just take the gift and kill

[01:44:33] And start at the objective.

[01:44:34] Now, Navi, look at two contests.

[01:44:37] It'll be a 4-5 approach as who will

[01:44:39] big bear damage, actually, right there on the Yopa.

[01:44:41] And Nicky, Mainzer's going to try and find some space to walk in,

[01:44:44] is all about Samedi getting the damage down.

[01:44:45] So Raktas go in, Ralech diving onto the back by Mainzer as well.

[01:44:49] Samedi just prepping them down,

[01:44:50] but they already got Ralech.

[01:44:52] The jungler is out of there as Mainzer can't get the kill

[01:44:55] on the Yopa.

[01:44:56] Ashkite's back.

[01:44:57] Samedi's got skeins right on top of him.

[01:44:59] Wunder roasting him down as well.

[01:45:01] Flash over the wall so skeins can finish it off

[01:45:03] Because Paris flashes to safety, they deny the Baron, but SK get a lot more kills.

[01:45:09] A monstrous fight going the way of SK.

[01:45:12] You're right, they don't get the Baron, but they'll be happy with that fight, securing

[01:45:16] the top tower as well.

[01:45:18] They keep finding these picks.

[01:45:20] They start this Baron off knowing that they have the most advantage.

[01:45:23] Relitched us about everything that he could do here.

[01:45:25] Gets a flash out for Mickey, ulties onto Joppa, but the follow-up just can't quite

[01:45:29] come through.

[01:45:30] Placement makes it impossible for Sammy to really get involved in the fight

[01:45:33] He commits his flash to sidestep the knockup that's coming through from the tornado

[01:45:38] Mechanically very well played from the side of SK

[01:45:41] Very impressive when you see four health bars at about a hundred health left

[01:45:46] After that they juggled it perfectly to back onto the Baron as we come back to live now

[01:45:50] He will have to find another approach, but somebody's coming out from base

[01:45:53] Mainters coming out from base. They do not have teleports to get in here

[01:45:56] Maybe a Rolex can look for a steel

[01:45:57] He has the ball breaker channeling it right now, but SK just stopped the damage on the barrel and they jump over the wall instead

[01:46:03] They got Poby and now they're looking at some D leaders on top of him jumps back to safety schemes

[01:46:08] It's a trouble here knock up onto a leader, but schemes is just fine

[01:46:12] It's just major in damage on the right now

[01:46:14] So he's been completely pushed out from the fight SK yet again feel off the objective and instead will take the fight I

[01:46:22] Really love the way SK has been playing these fights

[01:46:25] It's just they don't waste any time when they see a target

[01:46:28] They throw the ash arrow and they're quick to follow. They convert these fights into huge team fight wins

[01:46:33] They're gonna get themselves the Baron a day difference but SK look completely different in this game one night and day

[01:46:40] Now sometimes a good night sleep saw you need I'll say not look at the replay here because Kobe's just instantly believe it

[01:46:46] I mean beautiful combo the Whitmore placed as well making a very awkward

[01:46:49] Good Paris and Relection to get involved in the fight.

[01:46:53] Made to do what he can to try and tank things up, but he has got tankied up.

[01:46:57] That not the old way you get four people, but it just didn't matter.

[01:47:00] Samdi is too afraid to approach.

[01:47:02] And this corn from SK is very much just go forward, and they're making it work beautifully.

[01:47:07] Yeah, Samdi was not able to get damaged down in that fight, despite being up a little bit of gold going into it.

[01:47:14] Now Yopah, firmly in control.

[01:47:17] And I gotta agree with some of these comments. They're looking a little disjointed right now.

[01:47:21] Like that was such a beautiful title way from Paris. You feel like that should be able to turn a play, but...

[01:47:26] In the moment, SK with the Baron buff will start taking down these turrets.

[01:47:31] It's an outer turret in the mid lane. They're gonna reposition now to

[01:47:35] catch this bot wave as it's shoving in. Go for a little invade as well.

[01:47:39] So some ways to time here with the Baron, but still overall they're getting that first turret,

[01:47:42] which is the first step now with a 2.7k gold lead.

[01:47:46] You mentioned it earlier, but I think he's been so important in this game.

[01:47:50] Those Ash arrows are being pivotal in putting a skated spot through the combined tick.

[01:47:55] Reletch finds Skeen to meet the Asher on the Povie.

[01:47:58] It's now everybody's committing onto the Zinja.

[01:47:59] He's got the Crescent Guard, can't get damage through them.

[01:48:02] The Equalizer just roasted all the members of Na'Vi.

[01:48:05] They could not follow up Reletch.

[01:48:08] Nobody dies on either side, but wow, that was a very efficient Equalizer.

[01:48:14] It was party time on the Coles, okay?

[01:48:16] That ulti from the Seraphine combined with the ulti from the Rumble

[01:48:20] was enough to dissuade Navi from being able to follow up.

[01:48:23] They took so much damage on the back line,

[01:48:25] and this should be an uncontested dragon.

[01:48:28] I mean, Navi's gonna do their best

[01:48:30] to get back into position to challenge,

[01:48:32] but it's SK with full control.

[01:48:35] SK have the vision control, but their dragon has spawn.

[01:48:38] If they get this, it is Soul Navi want to deny that.

[01:48:41] Oh, look at the ulti.

[01:48:42] by some space.

[01:48:43] Yop is getting the damage down.

[01:48:44] Oh!

[01:48:45] Focus fire on the maiter.

[01:48:47] Big damage on Rikisanda.

[01:48:48] He's just trying to walk forward, but he's just so slow.

[01:48:51] The entire time, the Hellcars are just getting chunked.

[01:48:53] Ooh!

[01:48:54] Now, beside before the fight even kicks off,

[01:48:57] as now Rilech is looking for a flank over the wall.

[01:48:59] Maybe for the steal.

[01:49:00] He has the ball break at charge,

[01:49:01] but SK again just stopped hitting the drag,

[01:49:03] and Rilech, he's going to have to take the blast cone.

[01:49:05] Instead, maiter gets into the pit.

[01:49:06] Now Rilech goes in, skeens the target,

[01:49:08] as Kisandu-

[01:49:09] It's out of it!

[01:49:10] Stolen!

[01:49:11] Brelech denies the Dragon's Soul, but SK already took down Mainzer, so they can look for the fight afterwards.

[01:49:16] And Flash over the tie away from Skeens, the Aero lands, Paris falls, Yoppa unstoppable.

[01:49:23] SK don't need the Dragon's Soul, they still have the Baron, they can just push this wave in.

[01:49:27] The thing is that this Baron is about to wear off, they need to push as much as they can off the back of this play.

[01:49:32] But I don't know how much they can realistically get.

[01:49:35] Narvin did a good job of pushing out the sideways, so you can see Pony already pushing down that bot wave.

[01:49:40] SK wanted to use this Baron to actually secure the dragon, and I think the reason why they fumbled was not using the Baron to really actually get better control on site, sure.

[01:49:49] Because you can see on the minimap, like the waves already pushed in that deep,

[01:49:52] Navi's been allowed to approach this dragon and their opposition to contest.

[01:49:55] Yes, the fight is always going to go the way of SK, but the steal comes through, and Navi buys themselves a little bit more time.

[01:50:02] Like, good play ultimately for SK to find these picks, but like, Navi, they'd already committed to the suicide mission in order to steal that dragon away,

[01:50:09] So the fact that it was one fight for SK, I think SK were just too eager to secure this dragon when they had batter

[01:50:16] They could have just been using it to create this pressure

[01:50:19] Create this field of darkness around the bot side of the rift that Navi then feels super uncomfortable about approaching

[01:50:25] And you make them lose the fight before they even get a chance to approach the dragon

[01:50:29] Especially with the lead that SK had built

[01:50:30] I think that would have made it much harder for Navi to contest rather just basically allowing Navi a 50-50

[01:50:36] The only counterpoint I can think is that SK's composition doesn't have a lot of heart and gauge,

[01:50:41] so if you're able to get to the dragon first, make them come into you.

[01:50:44] That's kind of where your comfort zone is. You have the encore.

[01:50:46] Will you say that?

[01:50:46] You have the Crescent Guard.

[01:50:47] But imagine Navi has to facecheck into Osh, Seraphine, and Rumble,

[01:50:53] which is what happened in the previous fight, right?

[01:50:54] They almost want to fight exclusively just them trying to approach that objective, so...

[01:50:59] I mean, Yopas' arrows have been fantastic.

[01:51:00] I think he's going to find another one.

[01:51:02] He's looking for it right here under a ledge.

[01:51:04] followed up chain CC for days as Reledge will get the CCs and desist off, but Yoppa with a sixth kill,

[01:51:12] 6-0-5 for the young AD carry and SK with that one pick here. They have to push bot side,

[01:51:18] they're pushing everybody mid and obviously he's going to have to try and defend here

[01:51:22] at the inhibitor turret. You can slow down, but I think you should be fine. He's a tank

[01:51:27] Yucasante, locks back to safety and SK actually don't have a wave right there, so they're

[01:51:31] They're gonna have to back up right now. Yeah, the awkward thing that SK keeps being they just don't have control over their sideways

[01:51:36] So they keep getting these pics they'll push down mid

[01:51:39] But then there will be anything they could do about it because Ryze is somewhere else pushing another wave

[01:51:43] Rumble did finally go and catch that ball wave and start to push it out

[01:51:46] But now poby's here to go in and so it's like poby was top when he did that

[01:51:49] So now that's pushing out so yeah, poby has actually been making this a headache

[01:51:53] And that's kind of what the Ryze does in the late game. You're a fantastic side laner

[01:51:58] You can't use the run-up to get to safety.

[01:51:59] I mean, he's helping Navi stall, which is ultimately what Navi need.

[01:52:02] They need opportunities to get later into the game,

[01:52:04] and whether they outscale or not, they just need time.

[01:52:07] It's kind of their best option right now.

[01:52:08] And it's so hard to actually get on top of him.

[01:52:10] We see SK looking to collapse, but in a flash forward from Wunder,

[01:52:13] flash response from Kobe.

[01:52:15] And it's now being shamed to Chris Lair.

[01:52:16] We'll go outside step, not gonna land.

[01:52:18] When becomes lightning, does not land either.

[01:52:20] So, Kobe does get in safety.

[01:52:21] SK just sent five members down there and don't find the pick.

[01:52:25] And what's happening on the ref right now?

[01:52:27] It's push, push, push, yeah.

[01:52:29] Navi just keeps carrying out these waves every time SK tries to make a play,

[01:52:33] and, uh, yeah, SK really can't accelerate their lead anymore. Baron is now available.

[01:52:38] They need to be cautious about that area of the map.

[01:52:40] That is Ash leading the damage trucks right now. That's like a little surprising to me.

[01:52:44] Um, but has been doing a lot of damage, especially setting up a lot of spikes,

[01:52:48] and we have another one potentially right here as Wander's front-lining SK walking off into the bush.

[01:52:53] Mainz are clearing out the vision, Navi have Ralech on a flank, not spotted right now.

[01:52:58] Leader is hovering around there and we'll now see Ralech, who ball breakers back to safety.

[01:53:02] Baron is always on the table if either team is able to pick it up, but now it's actually

[01:53:06] not being an awkward spot because their bot lane is pushed in. SK has an advantageous position

[01:53:12] because they don't need to go bot lane. That's a fantastic spot for them. They can just set up

[01:53:15] their control around Baron. The worst thing that SK could do is flip the bar. They should...

[01:53:21] They don't have TP available, which makes things awkward for them, but neither does Navi, so they need to fight the main wave

[01:53:28] But I feel like they should send someone top, but I guess they're arguing that they need to have

[01:53:32] Numbers here to be able to even contest this wave. I mean Navi's just sacking this bot wave over and over

[01:53:37] That's now three waves that have crashed in and they're just not sending anybody down there

[01:53:41] Instead they're just keeping members in the mid lane. I suppose to make sure that the Baron can't be taken

[01:53:47] They want to maintain control here.

[01:53:49] It's funny.

[01:53:50] I mean, we were just saying how well Poby was doing in the side lane.

[01:53:53] But yeah, this is like a fourth wave going down into that bot side.

[01:53:57] They just haven't sent anybody down there.

[01:53:58] And now they've lost control of the top lane.

[01:53:59] It's because of the lack of TP.

[01:54:00] If someone shows up bot, then it's awkward.

[01:54:01] So SK pushing that bot wave is a small thing to do.

[01:54:05] That top wave is now still pushing as well.

[01:54:07] SK odd kind of gaining a fact against you.

[01:54:09] On the screens, he's selling the Crest Guard available.

[01:54:11] Unfold will only land onto one.

[01:54:13] It's made to the front line, but he has to flash a save

[01:54:15] because he was getting heavily jumped down

[01:54:17] with all of my space for SK, but in goes Ralech.

[01:54:20] Skeens in trouble, lead of the target, he's shut down!

[01:54:23] And the GA for Ralech will keep him up.

[01:54:25] Poby dancing around, skeens up the side here,

[01:54:27] but it's up to Yopa, it's up to the young AV Carry.

[01:54:30] The Ash is unleashed, he takes down one,

[01:54:32] turns back at the Poby, the shield goes up,

[01:54:34] but he goes down, wonder on a rampage!

[01:54:37] SK, win another team fight.

[01:54:39] Yopa's positioning continues to be so important

[01:54:42] in these fights, the way that he's able

[01:54:43] to consistently deal out the damage,

[01:54:45] The way that he is largely untouched in these fights, beautiful patience, beautiful positioning,

[01:54:50] SK able to win out once more.

[01:54:52] We look back and so it schemes against Looted Up, Mainto becomes the focus which is not ideal.

[01:54:57] Leader hesitant to commit his ultimate here because he wants to save it for a better play

[01:55:01] but he ends up then too deep because the knockback relaxes his opening,

[01:55:05] shuts down Leader, nice proper alternate onto the back flight just now of the move Sandy from the fight

[01:55:10] whereas your Faiz completely untouched.

[01:55:11] So you know he's barely done anything in these fights.

[01:55:14] Yeah, it's become really difficult for him to approach.

[01:55:16] He's a little bit cautious of his range

[01:55:18] and how easy it is for SK to punish that.

[01:55:21] And so you just, again, continuing to see the strength

[01:55:23] of Ash Seraphine and how consistently

[01:55:25] in these teamfights it's difficult to navigate around.

[01:55:28] And yeah, it's one of those situations

[01:55:29] where Na'Vi have played the map overall better.

[01:55:33] I think they have played a smarter game of League than SK have.

[01:55:36] But SK is just playing their teamfights better.

[01:55:38] They just have a stronger teamfight calm.

[01:55:40] They're mechanically outperforming Na'Vi in the 5v5, Wonders Ultimates have been fantastic,

[01:55:46] and then Yoppa just continues to find these pinks, so it's a pretty interesting dynamic.

[01:55:51] SK, but if they keep flumbling, flumbling, flumbling, flumbling, flumbling, flumbling, flumbling.

[01:55:57] If they keep flumbling these map plays and like actually pushing the lead that they have,

[01:56:01] Na'Vi might eventually win a fight.

[01:56:04] It's gonna be harder with the Dragon Soul after SK got the two kills,

[01:56:07] They didn't go for the Baron and change Crystal Arrow misses on Desandee.

[01:56:10] Nice side step there.

[01:56:11] SKN instead of going for the Baron, they just took the Dragon Soul.

[01:56:14] It's a much safer objective, so they have the shield now.

[01:56:16] They have the extra resistances, and now they will start up the Baron.

[01:56:21] The Bonnetur will fall just to the wave as Nabi, again, looked to approach the Baron pit.

[01:56:26] It's getting roasted so fast, Rilech cannot get in there.

[01:56:29] That is the objective secure.

[01:56:31] It is now... they want to go for the team fight.

[01:56:33] They have the Death Ball composition set up.

[01:56:35] The arrows down, Yuffa's been the one to kind of set up the fights every time and they don't have that available

[01:56:40] so the scheme's just gonna go in with the third knockup.

[01:56:43] And so as the encore again, only on the main turd, the Kassate's taken up a lot of damage, a lot of cooldown.

[01:56:48] As he pulls schemes back over to Poby, the scheme's just fine for right now.

[01:56:52] As he again, it's Yuffa's show.

[01:56:55] Goes legendary and they stop the round war from Poby, leader getting the kill.

[01:57:00] 19-7 plus the dragon soul, plus the Baron, SK.

[01:57:05] They look for their victory mark.

[01:57:06] And the awkward river standoff.

[01:57:07] SK finally find and engage the works out for them.

[01:57:11] They get two picks.

[01:57:11] They've got the band.

[01:57:12] They've got the soul.

[01:57:13] There should be enough to close this game.

[01:57:15] And Yoppa is about to end this game deathless.

[01:57:18] 8-0-7 on the Ash, finding pick after pick after pick.

[01:57:24] And team fighting immaculately.

[01:57:27] SK, the difference from yesterday to today

[01:57:31] is quite stark and it's looking good.

[01:57:33] They'll take down Sandy under the turret. Yoppa will flash forward for more KDA, but either way, SK will take Game 1.

[01:57:43] It's impressive stuff from SK. Definitely bounce back nicely. The early game was a little bit scary, but the teamfights, they were able to bounce back very, very well.

[01:57:51] And they also were able to kind of come back from that jungle invade that started everything off.

[01:57:57] But the man of the hour is Yoppa. And we have a sideline interview with him right now.

[01:58:01] Hello Yoppa, incredibly well played to you.

[01:58:04] I was really impressed.

[01:58:05] I wanted to ask you, because I feel like we were kind of

[01:58:07] in similar situations when I was playing on Team Red X,

[01:58:09] I was surrounded by veterans.

[01:58:11] And for me, it was super intimidating.

[01:58:12] And I felt like I wasn't able to play with the confidence

[01:58:15] that I felt like I normally had and expressed myself in game.

[01:58:18] Well, I felt like you've been doing the opposite.

[01:58:20] Like you're so cocky, you're playing so far forward,

[01:58:22] and you're really like, like you hard-carried this game.

[01:58:25] Like, how are you able to do this despite the fact

[01:58:27] that you're playing with such experienced players?

[01:58:29] Yeah, I think at the beginning,

[01:58:30] I was thinking the veterans are no better than me, they're really good, but I just realized they're washed, so I'm just playing my own game, so yeah.

[01:58:38] I wish I realized that a bit faster as well.

[01:58:40] Thank you so much, Jopa, as we head over to the AD here with Shox and Taira.

[01:58:46] What did he say?

[01:58:47] Yeah, he just called them all washed, everyone on the scene, he was like, I know better, they're all washed.

[01:58:51] Yeah, that's crazy.

[01:58:54] Jackspectra reminding us that he was also once.

[01:58:57] Yeah, I had to throw it in there.

[01:58:59] I think it worked really well, and I think you're correct right because it is a hard situation to be in I think

[01:59:05] Probably specifically when it's not going well, and you know definitely that you can be better

[01:59:08] But also that you as a team can be better

[01:59:11] But if you're younger or more of a rookie you probably don't have as much agency to talk about that in the same way and to really push it forward

[01:59:17] Yeah, it's really interesting because I feel like I had the exact same feeling that he had

[01:59:21] I didn't feel like my team was were washed and I know that he's joking when he says that as well

[01:59:24] But it's just this realization that regardless of the experienced players that you're playing with you know your role best

[01:59:29] and you know what you need the most so I think he's kind of figured that out and

[01:59:34] you see it in his gameplay the fact that he's willing to click forward the

[01:59:37] fact that he's the one starting the team fights it's incredible growth from him

[01:59:41] and it's super nice to see. That's the thing for me it's the fact that they

[01:59:43] gave him the tools to be like no you now are the ones that control me go in

[01:59:46] and he was on point every single fight he was managing that arrow getting

[01:59:51] the setups getting the picks that really turned this game in their favor I

[01:59:54] think it was fantastic. I think that's a great point the fact that Navi after

[01:59:57] that stellar early game also had a Reletch who was starting to get going and

[02:00:01] usually it's hard to stop him with that ash arrow finding Paris time and time

[02:00:05] again we were lamenting the lack of Mikael's I think it did contribute a lot

[02:00:09] to how this game ended up going. I think Paris definitely regrets his build path

[02:00:13] in this one because you could see how like it's so easy for SK to play like

[02:00:17] Paris even though he has to flash it feels really bad to waste it because

[02:00:21] that's still five minutes now where you're then super vulnerable and once

[02:00:24] that initial CC hits. It's just an easy CC chain and it was just SK's tried and

[02:00:28] truth-tested formula for the early game. They kept going up to Paris and once they

[02:00:32] found him it was too hard for Navi to contest. I mean especially even the facts

[02:00:34] as we got later on in the game they were just picking Main turn. It was like it

[02:00:37] doesn't matter that you're the mega tank of the enemy team we have enough

[02:00:39] damage to get through you. Like I think it was just really solid and for SK it

[02:00:43] was a very simplified game plan. Like you heard Betty in the cast talk about

[02:00:46] it you know they're not playing for sidelines they're not trying to

[02:00:49] won 3-1 they're just like look if we just death ball we win the game

[02:00:52] Let's just do that. Yeah, and also for leader of course is Yasuo. He loves that champion

[02:00:57] He's really good on it

[02:00:58] That makes it really difficult for me to make any kind of sweeping statements about the state of SK

[02:01:02] What I will say is that the train was going off the rails and a game like this was definitely necessary

[02:01:08] I mean you can tell that he is like so much more comfortable on yasuo than anything else like finding the solo kill

[02:01:14] I was surprised like two parts from here are surprised that Poby doesn't flash

[02:01:17] But the other part of me is surprised that leader even has the solo kill there

[02:01:20] It's just such a YASO-specific interaction.

[02:01:23] Yeah, it's like he just finds him and then he's able to then utilize that to impact the whole rest of the map as well

[02:01:28] He was on constantly getting good old these setting up good wind walls for his team

[02:01:32] And I think SK they just come out swinging in this game one

[02:01:35] They don't go for something like the Orianna. They don't get too crazy with the set

[02:01:39] But I think YASO are really a colleague

[02:01:41] That's really where it's at where you're still kind of playing meta, but it's more comfort for leader

[02:01:44] Yeah

[02:01:45] I think I was a comfort for other people as well

[02:01:47] like I think Wonder had a fantastic game in this rumble like where he's rumble

[02:01:51] ultimate I think we're the unsung hero for all those fights and especially in

[02:01:53] that last fight around baron where he just completely zones Sam D out of the

[02:01:57] equation like I think he was excellent it felt like SK across the board were

[02:02:00] stepping up. It's a bit of a trend that he's not doing too hot in lane but that

[02:02:03] he does make the correct decisions when it comes to the team fights though.

[02:02:06] I were in this group there already. I wanted to bring it up later but

[02:02:11] yeah anyways they just kept going right to the Baron I think this

[02:02:14] This was a nice play as well because you could very well throw in this position, right?

[02:02:18] Okay, they don't take the Baron in this first fight, but they position well, they play the fight well,

[02:02:22] and right after they close the door.

[02:02:24] Yeah, it was a really nice engage by Rilech, and overall I felt like Rilech had a really fantastic game,

[02:02:29] but Jopa was just out playing his counterpart, doing so much more damage than these team fights.

[02:02:34] And you can't even really blame Sarni that much because it's hard to get onto these carries.

[02:02:38] You're up against Ashlow, the Seraphine slows, the Sane-Soul slow, the Rumble-Soul.

[02:02:42] like small annoying CC that makes it real miserable for him to play.

[02:02:46] Even then you're trying to auto-attack and it's like, ah, Zin Zin is old, I guess.

[02:02:48] And then I walk forward, and then I walk forward, and then I walk forward, oh, there's Rumble

[02:02:52] Ult, but I'm like, hey, does the man get in to play the game?

[02:02:54] Like, there's no way for him.

[02:02:55] Oh, it's tricky.

[02:02:56] Yeah, I think it was just a sick way to set this up, but again, like, it felt like

[02:03:00] a very SK comp.

[02:03:01] There's two things I want to bring up still.

[02:03:04] The first thing is, we saw it in the clip beforehand, but Reletch had a really

[02:03:07] good early game rights.

[02:03:08] He read the jungle really well.

[02:03:10] he was on skeins but then he goes just a little too far and I'm wondering if that

[02:03:14] could have had made the pendulum swing a lot more into a super might in the in

[02:03:18] the early game because it's something that his coach talked about I personally

[02:03:22] actually like to play I know it looks dumb because he dies in the end it was

[02:03:26] like of course it's a bad play but I honestly he had to he'd be reading that

[02:03:29] I have cleared more of my camps because I stole away the entire top side I've

[02:03:33] managed to clear to my camps I've got the tunneler advantage and it's

[02:03:36] double longsword in the other side I can play through that but he ends up

[02:03:39] going as you say that bit too far I think if he had waited for mid-pryol that

[02:03:43] could have been the play so I think it is a double H sword but I understand the

[02:03:47] time I'm not arguing that it was good it was obviously good the game passing but

[02:03:51] the fact that he pushes too far just because his coach just said it right

[02:03:54] sometimes his brain doesn't catch up but what he's doing and I'm wondering if it

[02:03:57] would have paid so many dividends that he could have par laid into more that

[02:04:01] wouldn't have put them in position with Paul be losing lane yeah had to

[02:04:04] essentially kind of bail him out and then when you also then gets the

[02:04:07] off of that in a way, then Lidl gets even more ahead.

[02:04:10] That's more of like a solo Q mentality,

[02:04:12] where it's like, I can play through my lead,

[02:04:14] but in competitive, that's not where I can lean over

[02:04:16] because mid lane can come across.

[02:04:18] And that is something we do have to say,

[02:04:20] Poby has not been having a good time in these lanes,

[02:04:22] not in the first matchup versus Jojo Pune, not here.

[02:04:26] And I think that's, it's a little bit of friction, right?

[02:04:29] Because you see what Rilech wants to do,

[02:04:30] but obviously, if this is happening in the mid lane,

[02:04:33] it's all a little harder.

[02:04:34] Yeah, and it's the same when you're

[02:04:35] playing against Jojo Pune.

[02:04:35] like Jojo can completely outclass them in that mid lane and it did then cause issues like Navi worried to get the better of them

[02:04:42] The end but I mean the question mark now is the bees we going to game to can poby now step up against leader where he's not on a comfort

[02:04:48] Whoa things we're hearing we maybe didn't expect to hear. What is your gut tell you Jack?

[02:04:52] I think poby just needs to not get solo killed and it's a smooth sailing for now easy

[02:04:57] Just don't get solo killed. Just play safe on their tower

[02:04:59] I think he's going to kill every game maybe, but I don't know, it's not so easy.

[02:05:02] Okay, we'll see after the break if someone gets a look-ill or not. We'll be right back.

[02:05:08] Oh, he's new. Okay, we have a 1v1 in the mid lane as leaders jumping in at the pov and fights it!

[02:05:14] Mortal steel for first blood!

[02:05:16] Oh, what?

[02:05:18] Look at the QS-A-T, is that a fellow?

[02:05:19] Yeah.

[02:05:19] Look right, look right?

[02:05:20] Yeah.

[02:05:21] On me, on me.

[02:05:21] I can play, I can play.

[02:05:23] Look right, look right.

[02:05:25] Nice, good job.

[02:05:27] Go mid wave, go mid wave.

[02:05:29] I'm going quick in end.

[02:05:31] Yes, yes, yes.

[02:06:21] Brother, brother, let me try.

[02:06:24] Wait!

[02:06:25] Brother, let us break this instead.

[02:06:29] Brother.

[02:06:38] Have a break. Have a KitKat.

[02:06:43] What is this, brother?

[02:06:44] Perfection.

[02:06:51] Welcome to my shop.

[02:06:58] You'll need the right build.

[02:07:01] Use wisely, because every upgrade brings you closer to the next level.

[02:07:07] So tell me, how will you level up?

[02:07:21] Wait, is he switching lanes?

[02:07:47] You start to think you're all alone Counting failures, you can't let them go

[02:08:13] I can tell you need a little something for me

[02:08:19] You got spirit baby, you got heart

[02:08:22] Hands are bad but we can fix that bond

[02:08:25] Time for you to know what it could be

[02:08:32] Push through it, push through it

[02:08:35] No limits, you can do this

[02:08:38] You want it, just take it

[02:08:41] You're on the edge of infinity

[02:08:45] The pain you can go all night

[02:08:47] Breaking limits at the world alive

[02:08:51] On the verge of greatness is time to leave

[02:08:57] They'll fear me when it's up in light

[02:09:00] You'll know your worth when you win the fight

[02:09:04] For the world you won't go quietly

[02:09:07] Oh, push through it, place through it, no limits you can do this, you want it, just take it, you don't want the edge of infinity

[02:09:23] Ignite, come on, attention, rise above the fame, right side of your own invention, look it away, look it away, okay?

[02:09:37] Go straight, drag it through it, we're getting ahead, we're getting ahead

[02:09:55] Go straight, drag it through it, we're getting ahead

[02:10:01] Go through it, play through it, no limits you can do this.

[02:10:08] You can just take it, you're on the edge of the limit.

[02:10:14] It ain't not coming.

[02:10:16] Hello and welcome back everybody for game 2 as SKTake on Navi and I was just reminded

[02:10:35] Vettius you never brought me a mouse pad. Why would you have to bring that up?

[02:10:38] Pull me! On Saturday you'd bring me a mouse pad because I forgot one.

[02:10:41] Sir, I'm 33 years old and my memory is fading.

[02:10:44] Yeah, I don't think you get that excuse. Yeah, I think I do. I just read it.

[02:10:46] 33 is still in like the first third of your life.

[02:10:48] Respect your elders, young one. Respect them. We're jumping into drafts.

[02:10:53] Okay, you talk like that for the rest of draft.

[02:10:55] Can I recall the bands from the previous game? I don't need you because I'll be on my screen.

[02:10:59] Pantheon, J4. I know we're on Navi's side.

[02:11:03] We had Orianna banned from SK side common old list on that's half of them that I remember yeah

[02:11:08] Okay, that's common old list. Okay, and then there was all together. I just don't remember the last one for Bobby

[02:11:14] What was it? That's fine either way. We do know what happened in that last game and it was SK

[02:11:20] Coming back in a big way. They did not look nearly as solid nearly as cohesive in their first series

[02:11:26] They were able to pick up a win. Yes, but then their losses looked very messy

[02:11:30] This is a well-oiled-looking machine here. They just deathbolt. I mean that we heard the analyst talking about it

[02:11:35] They were losing some of the sideline pushes, but with Yopa leading the charge with the arrows

[02:11:41] They were able to find a lot of picks and a lot of opportunities to just win these teamfights stack the dragons and

[02:11:47] Played it out cleanly from there now V are gonna have to find a way to either deny that type of composition again or

[02:11:53] Win through different means either way. We do see a couple bands come through here first picnico for SK

[02:11:58] So, uh, the man behind the mystery, the voice in our heads that you guys at home know here,

[02:12:05] did remind us that Varus was the last band that we forgot.

[02:12:08] And it was open, so I was looking like it was a DeVarus first pick, but I was guessing

[02:12:11] no, we won the Niko instead.

[02:12:14] Now the problem for Narvi is they kind of have to lock in Varus now, because, uh,

[02:12:20] number one, if you don't, you're now playing DeVarus Niko, which is what I'm in a dictionary

[02:12:27] under no fun. I would say that

[02:12:32] these two champions would be

[02:12:33] there. Um, but an actor not

[02:12:35] doubt that they do lock it in

[02:12:37] like SK is prepared for it

[02:12:38] because they first picked the

[02:12:39] Niko right there. But of course

[02:12:40] there is the possibility as

[02:12:41] well that this Niko is mid lane.

[02:12:43] Leader has played this man

[02:12:44] quite a few times before and

[02:12:45] there's always the possibility

[02:12:46] they can flex it. We don't

[02:12:47] see it flexed very often, but

[02:12:49] it's always worth considering

[02:12:50] with the Aurora early locking.

[02:12:52] It seems like that the bar

[02:12:53] responds. So I feel like by

[02:12:54] default, SK should now just

[02:12:55] Slam that Varus and then probably get a jungle to parallel inside it.

[02:12:59] I mean like Varus' Nocturne is where my mind goes. You don't get the Orianna combo, but Niko Nocturne is also a strong combo.

[02:13:05] You turn the lights off, it's much easier for Niko to get in there, and then also easier for Varus to throw out those chains of corruptions,

[02:13:11] which will then most likely land on their target. So that's where my mind is going to go, but it seems like they're hovering in something different as it's Ezreal locked in.

[02:13:20] You're saying so we talked about Boris they are arguing

[02:13:25] Hey

[02:13:27] You want to play Israel Ezreal Bard is a good combo good bar to room and leaving Ezreal ice late

[02:13:32] So we'll take the Ezreal away from you on top of that

[02:13:36] Now if they do pick bars which can be good into Ezreal, you're not playing bars bar

[02:13:41] Which like you don't like bars, but it doesn't you don't get a lot of good peel

[02:13:44] That's for sure. So they're gonna have to go for something else

[02:13:47] I think so it can be a pretty solid alternative the problem with it is you're quite short range and right now Navi's composition is quite short range like Aurora and

[02:13:57] Sometimes like I get asked this question about like what you say that she's short range body mean like that

[02:14:01] It's it's so basically in order for her to do her combo

[02:14:04] She has to be within a radius with which the opponent can hit her as well

[02:14:08] Yep

[02:14:09] And so that's what I mean by short range if your opponent can hit you while you're trying to hit them

[02:14:14] That in my mind is relatively short range in contrast to Ezreal

[02:14:18] He doesn't need to be in hit distance to do his thing right and Niko as well

[02:14:22] I mean other than the pop blossom where you're gonna kind of get close

[02:14:24] But like everything else you're gonna be pretty far right and so what that's why when we say like you look at SK side

[02:14:28] Ezreal plus Niko a lot of long range poke

[02:14:30] They can play out of your reach and they can hit you while you can't really hit them

[02:14:35] Sivir does have her Q of course and then there is the Aurora ultimate which does of course have a very long range

[02:14:40] But right now, I kind of like what SK have drafted. They've also taken away Ralech's

[02:14:46] um, ambassador from the jungle, which I think makes sense because that is where he'd love

[02:14:51] to go to lock down a champion like Ezreal as well. My concern comes from how much are

[02:14:56] they taking too much away? Are they focusing too much on trying to deny what it is that

[02:15:00] the opponent wants to do? Because at a certain point, you need to figure out the

[02:15:04] goal of your composition, right? And if you go too down this rabbit hole, it could

[02:15:07] just hurt your own grave.

[02:15:08] I will say Yoppa had a fantastic Ezreal game earlier on in this weekend.

[02:15:12] So I think that that isn't just taken away.

[02:15:14] It's also playing to what we have seen work for SK.

[02:15:18] So it's a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B,

[02:15:20] a lot of bit of top lane focus for the second round of bands.

[02:15:24] It's Renekton, Sion, and Nar taking off the table

[02:15:28] with an Akali for good measure.

[02:15:30] Quite a few Havas from Na'vi.

[02:15:31] I think they can pull most of them.

[02:15:33] Is that just filtering through options available to them?

[02:15:37] You don't think the Shaco is likely?

[02:15:38] I don't think so. I don't even know if I've seen a Shaco in pro play before. Was it an IEM like 10 years ago?

[02:15:45] I want to say it was kickass. I've seen a Shaco support.

[02:15:48] Oh, okay. Yeah, actually that might be where I've seen it before.

[02:15:52] Okay, so Aatrox. Now the engage from Avi is quite limited, which concerns me when you're playing as Ezreal.

[02:15:58] I think that with Ezreal you kind of need some form of hard lockdown. Of course Vias are already taken out. We've panned them also banned.

[02:16:04] and the jungle options that they have are what they are limited, to be honest.

[02:16:08] I think the takeaway of the Ambesa was really smart from SK

[02:16:11] because that's exactly the type of direction that relets would love to go.

[02:16:14] Well, I'm thinking it's going to be the Ajax jungle.

[02:16:16] And then maybe that's what I mean.

[02:16:17] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[02:16:18] But that's what I mean by like, they just don't have enough walk down

[02:16:20] for the amount of ability that SK has right now, right?

[02:16:23] You've got Ambesa Ari Ezreal, like that's dash on dash on dash, right?

[02:16:28] You know what I mean?

[02:16:29] Like, and so where does your hard CC come through from?

[02:16:33] Oh, they're gonna pivot and put the oh, I mean of course. Yeah, you can comfortably put the blue calling into into jungle

[02:16:38] And then you can put the embassy talk. Yeah, I will say poppy goes pretty hard here. There's a lot of dashes

[02:16:43] They're going around. I mean, it's less like hard engagement because again that doesn't fix the problem of like

[02:16:47] How do we start the fight?

[02:16:49] Necessarily, but it would stop the wukong to already the best if I'm getting on to your backline

[02:16:53] Give your server a little more peeling options. I really like what I skived drafted and that thinking about a

[02:16:59] Jacks, Zahen, I think both are fine into Ambedsa.

[02:17:03] Okay, main set. We're really not escaping those tank allocations, are we?

[02:17:07] Okay.

[02:17:08] So, this is a hard counter-pick to Ambedsa.

[02:17:12] We've seen it brought out by Kana, I want to say, here in the LAC.

[02:17:16] He brought it out last split.

[02:17:18] And basically, you just, every time they trade, like the sustain from Rek'Sai just wins out.

[02:17:24] Yeah.

[02:17:25] So they trade even on HP, Rek'Sai then heals.

[02:17:27] Over in the LCS, we saw more like volley bear as the counter, but I guess it's the same concept, right?

[02:17:32] Like when I think of that, I think of the, yeah, it's basically the same thing where you're just gonna be able to do about the same damage, but you're healing back more than what they're gonna be able to do.

[02:17:39] Yeah, and kind of as the, as the laning phase goes on, and Wreck's Eye gets like shorter cooldowns, as, as the ambassador does as well, you just kind of become more, more difficult to deal with.

[02:17:48] So it is a solid side-line answer, but that kind of hole in gauge is Civic Press'es are run at opponent.

[02:17:55] You do have the bot ultimate so maybe if you can like get some of the mobility used and the bot ultimate to connect

[02:18:00] But it can like this there's so much mobility

[02:18:02] Yeah, it's it's gonna be hard to lock someone down from SK which I think is the hardest challenge

[02:18:08] Bart is my most played champion and I got to say when I see an Ari mid

[02:18:11] I'm like well probably not gonna roam mid. I see a Wukong jungle

[02:18:15] I'm like what problem trying to invade the jungle. I'm gonna see an Ezreal bot. I'm like, I don't know what my job is

[02:18:19] anymore. I guess it's all my team when they get done us. Fortunately for Navi, it's not

[02:18:25] like their cop is on play. They've got options, there's plenty of room for outplay, and if

[02:18:31] all things, if worse comes to worse, you press R on Sivir and you run at the murder

[02:18:36] dragon. Sometimes the simplest plans are diverse sometimes, and that might just be

[02:18:42] enough. I'm going through all these reasons why on paper all this mobility for SK should

[02:18:46] be difficult to deal with, but Navi do still have really good damage with the Sivir, Poby

[02:18:52] can potentially one-shot anyone on the enemy side, and so there's a lot of, there's a lot

[02:18:56] of threats, and of course, Relections atrox, he's just good at it, right? He's just really

[02:18:59] good.

[02:19:00] Ooh, good early chunk there from Harrison Sambi onto Mickey, winning that 2v2 at level

[02:19:07] 1 already, the electrocute bard, man I love this build, super fun.

[02:19:11] I want to highlight something though that we've been talking about before going

[02:19:14] into this series and that was the experience differential between these two teams because

[02:19:19] both of them have a lot of games played but on different sides of the rift when we look at that

[02:19:23] bot lane, Yoppa only having 14 competitive games. This is going into the series so I guess add one

[02:19:29] to all of these from that last game but still you see that some D Paris having a lot of experience

[02:19:34] but Mickey really kind of carrying the weight of the game experience here for Yoppa. Yeah I mean

[02:19:41] I mean, you can see teams that have played on G2 versus teams that haven't played on G2.

[02:19:46] But also, Sandeep, like, people often think of him as a rookie, but he's not.

[02:19:52] He's played on a bunch of different teams.

[02:19:54] I think Rob is also a ton of a user, but V5 roster that also came super close to qualifying for Worlds a few years ago.

[02:20:02] Ooh, Rook connects.

[02:20:04] Nice. Tangle barbs onto Paris as Yopo will jump in for more damage.

[02:20:08] The way Ferris trying to heal himself back up and try and just keeps the same as Mark

[02:20:13] But the greater point that you are making is that Yoppa is just kind of

[02:20:16] He's just a baby. It's kind of a team mate. Yeah. Yeah

[02:20:19] Yeah, I mean he didn't qualify for playoffs which is kind of the advantage that both reletch and mated did get in the previous split

[02:20:26] But yeah, I think he was a promising rookie last split

[02:20:29] I like what already what we've seen from him this split

[02:20:32] And he's an exciting player to watch on what is effectively a roster of veterans or players that have kind of been

[02:20:39] I would commonly say looked over in the past like schemes has been given opportunities before and he didn't deliver

[02:20:45] Whether that was a team environment or him as a player is always tough to judge

[02:20:49] But leader also been given many opportunities and many didn't want to give him another chance after what he's shown

[02:20:55] on the LAC stage. It's really Mickey that's believed in this project, really

[02:21:00] wanted to play with players that he believed in and he got along with and he

[02:21:03] wanted to create an environment that was like comfortable to play it. Yeah, like

[02:21:06] it's easy to forget how challenging it is to spend an entire year with the

[02:21:11] same group of people, but often it can feel like you get no break from one

[02:21:15] another. He wanted to be in an environment where he was happy and

[02:21:18] enjoyed the time that he spent with these people. It's also a stressful

[02:21:21] environment you know very competitive as right now stresses under the bottom turret here as the dive is coming through

[02:21:27] Reletch lands a knock up on a Yopah first blood the Samedi traded right on back and now Reletch will start taking up

[02:21:34] Actually, no it's Samedi that was taking it up and that's gonna be a double kill to Yopah

[02:21:39] Ooh, Navi not quite the dive they were looking for and Yopah has TP

[02:21:43] So he just comes straight back to lane the gold difference hasn't changed between the bot laners

[02:21:48] Yeah, it's only reletch the gains the gold advantage just because that first kill that he gets us

[02:21:53] He's gonna stop the back though. So we're let's gonna have to

[02:21:57] Come back over towards his side as another scrap up in the topside here

[02:22:01] Mainter is heavily winning this 1v1 right now, but wonder will not have to flash away

[02:22:06] Stays in the range to get level five right there, but yeah that again

[02:22:09] We open those eyes. Oh, oh, that is a minion for Mickey flash out from Poby

[02:22:13] See, does it come in time to release that dive?

[02:22:16] Sneaky, sneaky, nice play there by Mickey.

[02:22:18] We look back at the dive, ultimately really well executed dive.

[02:22:21] Paris willing to give his life up for the AD carry.

[02:22:24] Mickey wisely doesn't get one more auto so that both AD carries get the kill.

[02:22:28] And then Relich thinks he gets tower aggro, but it's Sandy that actually ends up sneaking it away.

[02:22:32] They even check me.

[02:22:35] Oh, okay, I got two kills.

[02:22:38] Yeah, sometimes you just get two kills.

[02:22:42] Yeah, it could really have gone much better for him.

[02:22:44] So I think he should be pretty happy with the outcome of that.

[02:22:47] A little bit more trading here in the ballade.

[02:22:48] Yeah, as now, Mickey gets chunked out from Parasins on D.

[02:22:52] Avoiding the Tangle Barge that time around.

[02:22:54] They come in out of that, you know, the dive bot side.

[02:22:58] I liked that Mickey immediately went mid,

[02:22:59] gets flash out of Poby, so it's two kills onto Yopa,

[02:23:02] and now Summoner's spell Advantage in the mid lane

[02:23:04] as well, so Skeens has options,

[02:23:05] because there's no flash on the bottom half of the map.

[02:23:08] Skeens is gonna be hitting level six here

[02:23:10] within the minute, and you can actually

[02:23:12] I'm sorry for looking to make something happen.

[02:23:16] Wukong ideally wants to just get to that level 6 similar to what they see from the nocturne.

[02:23:22] He's one of them. I often compare him to.

[02:23:24] Paired alongside R.E. as well. I mean the...

[02:23:26] Back in 2023 is where it felt like we had the most prominent Wukong meta.

[02:23:31] Yeah.

[02:23:31] Which was the Annie Wukong, JDG.

[02:23:34] It was a scary meta when the LPL were involved.

[02:23:38] Because if you can always...

[02:23:40] Well now, that call was specifically Annie plus Wukong, I felt like they just found it better than most of the regions did.

[02:23:47] Oh, Yopa feel very confident right there. He gets hit by the cousin's binding, but not tagged on the wall.

[02:23:53] Sometimes confidence can hurt. Quite literally, and that is...

[02:23:59] Oh, Mickey.

[02:24:00] Spill on the pain, as that cousin will land on the wall. Mickey trying to run away, but is going to have to flash to escape the damage.

[02:24:07] Cool mechanic there. Mickey moved into fog of war in the hopes of cancelling their auto attacks

[02:24:12] But the ward was dropped by power so he flash reacts to the ward being dropped knowing that another auto attack could come through

[02:24:17] So nice timing there

[02:24:18] But with the pressure that's being generated in the bot lane by Navi, Reletri's an opportunity to secure the dragon

[02:24:23] Level 6 already secured for him similar spot for Skeens

[02:24:25] Who I believe was able to get the second scuttle crab spawn on the top side of the rift

[02:24:30] Leader is a little bit behind an XP probably because of that roam that Mickey did towards mid lane

[02:24:34] Yeah, I don't have some XP

[02:24:36] But ultimately, not to... Oh, make you look in front of the play, you know?

[02:24:40] I mean, this time around, he should know that is a very suspicious minion and he's not able to dodge it!

[02:24:46] Still gets hit by the dangle barbs, plus the charm Harris is here to help keep him healthy.

[02:24:51] There's not a W, but Poby...

[02:24:54] Oh, that was a... Yeah, he got pretty chunked there.

[02:24:56] I mean, he's able to walk away with his life, is the good news for Poby.

[02:25:00] Harris here to protect, timing was good.

[02:25:03] Poby... Oh, there's the ulti.

[02:25:05] between the worlds. Jumping on the leader gets flashed out from Ari. Leader very respectful.

[02:25:10] Yeah he's really cautious of the kill threat that Poby has in that situation.

[02:25:14] He wants to push out the wave and go back to base.

[02:25:15] Jungler's probably eye-hanging that mid lane up right now and realizes he can't ever stay as

[02:25:19] welcome. Bot wave. I mean I was expecting this to be a lot more favorable for the escape bot lane

[02:25:24] but credit to SamD in Paris they've done a really good job of just winning out of the two

[02:25:28] versus two. The push that they've been able to get has really allowed them to set up that

[02:25:33] that early dive and not stop fighting if we get more.

[02:25:38] And I, ooh, yeah, nice damage there onto Paris.

[02:25:40] Yopah fancied himself the wave advantage,

[02:25:43] so he's going forward onto some D.

[02:25:45] Oh, almost gets the kill with the help of Mickey.

[02:25:49] As far as Yopah didn't go for more there,

[02:25:50] I mean, I guess he'd be happy with the damage dealt.

[02:25:52] Really scary moments like this, though.

[02:25:54] You don't want to get baited to go forward.

[02:25:55] Rilech is nearby and Rilech will not find an avenue

[02:26:00] to kill them in lane, do they go for the dive?

[02:26:03] Sambi's gonna throw at the boomerang lane to stop Mickey's back,

[02:26:05] but he looks like Ezreal.

[02:26:06] Maybe they think that's ill, but up now they realize

[02:26:08] that is just Mickey, and Ralech goes under the turret,

[02:26:11] and the tempered fate onto the turret means

[02:26:13] that there's no damage response.

[02:26:15] Clean dive this time for Nabi.

[02:26:17] Yeah, the timing was nice.

[02:26:19] The execution was well done.

[02:26:21] Nabi find themselves another pick,

[02:26:23] put themselves in a strong spot on the left side

[02:26:25] of the red.

[02:26:26] Skeens get to really get involved on the map here

[02:26:27] in the early game.

[02:26:29] Still waiting for him to look for an ult combo.

[02:26:32] That bot crab might be his opportunity.

[02:26:34] Reletch though, is gonna respect it.

[02:26:35] Yeah, you're too low health on the atrix.

[02:26:37] Your bot lane wants to go for a reset.

[02:26:40] And again, you'll think you'll expect this lane very fast.

[02:26:42] So he's gonna be able to shove this in.

[02:26:43] Sandeep does not have the teleport.

[02:26:45] So it's still just a small goal lead for this bot lane.

[02:26:49] As Keens will now pick up that scuttle crab.

[02:26:52] Gold pretty much even across the board.

[02:26:53] It's just Reletch with that advantage from that first blood

[02:26:56] and now with a second successful dive.

[02:26:57] It seems like we we learned where the Bard's gonna put his attention and it's instead of him roaming

[02:27:02] It says hey come to my lane. I will set up the plays to get relench fed

[02:27:07] 15 out very close to level six

[02:27:09] That's another thing that nob you will have to be worried about Poby's already paranoid about the extra minions showing up as

[02:27:15] Lita takes a nasty trade

[02:27:17] Yeah, we're actually getting big damage down between worlds two full tanks not gonna land as leader just spirit rushes back to safety

[02:27:24] Okay, so Poby really started to fight back a little bit more.

[02:27:27] I felt like he should be way more behind than he actually is.

[02:27:31] 87 CS to 88, still not too bad at all.

[02:27:34] I mean, speaking of also not being as far behind as we expect,

[02:27:37] Wunder's doing just fine in this lane.

[02:27:38] For the counter pick right side, he's down one wave.

[02:27:41] I mean, that's, I would say that's a success for the Ambesa, all things considered.

[02:27:45] Went for the Executioner's first, so you can argue like a little behind in build path,

[02:27:49] but it works in the 1v1, and it's also effective against the A-tries.

[02:27:52] Yeah, definitely seems like it's been helping him out skirmish against the the wreck side up in top lane

[02:27:58] But I think the matchup something gonna get harder. It's the problem especially as more HP starts to come through for

[02:28:05] Mainter because he's soon just gonna ignore the ambassador. He's gonna keep building HP

[02:28:10] He's gonna be able to trade against her pretty well because it's super easy

[02:28:14] Against the champion that basically wants to come into you for you to build your fury stacks and then just get them

[02:28:19] The true damage is ult chopped on the leader, no spear rush, no flash available, he throws out the charm on the Poby but with Reletch there as well, there's just too much damage, Poby picks up the kill.

[02:28:30] So we talked a lot in draft about how compositionally it felt like it was going to be hard for Na'Vi to really do much when it came to locking down these members of SK, but none of that will really matter if Na'Vi just wins the lane phase.

[02:28:41] Which right now they're doing beautifully, Paris is working well with Reletch to find ganks both in bot and now in mid

[02:28:47] Reletch 202 on the atrox, he's being set up to be this massive carry on the champion later on into the game

[02:28:53] They've got a 1.4k gold lead, they currently control the dragons and the timing is perfect

[02:28:58] They've got a bot side clear into a dragon spawning in 15 seconds

[02:29:01] The enemy mid laner has only just returning back because you've got a rocket belt on spot like it just yeah everything is

[02:29:06] It's perfect and leader still doesn't even have the spear rush

[02:29:10] So you're not even in danger of like Ari finding some big play big take Yopa's chunked down now V

[02:29:15] Could not draw it up better than this moment right here. They'll shove the bot wave in and I imagine

[02:29:21] Reletch will start up this dragon

[02:29:24] It's getting spotted so they know that the will come here

[02:29:26] There's a chance for a steal leader is walking down Poby will answer as a TP in from Yopa

[02:29:32] who does get the reset off. Trinity Force completed on the Ezreal.

[02:29:35] SK might have the confidence to actually go for the fight.

[02:29:38] Shuchap Raj will land only on the Pobi, so some damage down.

[02:29:41] As Miki will check out the brush, they have the control ward.

[02:29:43] They're flashed for for Miki, flashed as much as possible from everybody.

[02:29:45] Anabia's leader now goes in.

[02:29:46] Pobi gets the kill out of Miki, but is traded right on back

[02:29:49] as a shutdown onto a ledge.

[02:29:51] Scheme's diving deep on Asab.

[02:29:53] And he gets him!

[02:29:54] Double kill to the Wukong.

[02:29:56] As Nabi teleport Mainter for a double kill of their own.

[02:29:59] Yeah, I mean a two for two and because the jungler's end of trading Navi can't convert this into a dragon

[02:30:05] Nice decisive play there from SK. Nikki gets I think it was three flashes. Yeah, he gets three flashes

[02:30:11] I mean obviously not connecting sucks for him

[02:30:14] But the fact that he gets those three flashes that is still massive

[02:30:17] Skeens at the very end commits. Oh back to live though. Mainter actually caught wonder here who has to flash over the wall

[02:30:23] But in comes the ulti

[02:30:25] Mainter falls it up and shows what this counterpicks capable of.

[02:30:29] I'm really shocked as to what Wunder's doing there.

[02:30:31] He had so much free time onto the top tower for him to then die to Mainter after he TP'd bot.

[02:30:38] Yeah, and I believe that Wunder had TP'd up to the top side.

[02:30:41] I noticed that his TP was on cooldown also once Mainter was already down there.

[02:30:44] Wunder had to have been proxied.

[02:30:47] It's the only real option that he's...

[02:30:51] Okay, we just got told with the voices in our head he took a tower shot.

[02:30:54] I mean wonder what we do about my wife like that is such a good opportunity for you and enemy top TPs to bots and

[02:31:00] You have free access to tile plates, but you've got to respect the reset coming through

[02:31:05] Yeah

[02:31:06] In any case back at the dragon and now we're let's back at focus in the mid lane

[02:31:10] Teprified lands here on to Mickey and he's out of there

[02:31:13] So I'm be with another kill

[02:31:16] To do for now is not be able to numbers advantage around the dragon. It could look to start it up here

[02:31:21] But again, Skeens is still here. Yoppa's still getting some damage down.

[02:31:24] So, Navi aren't confident enough to immediately go for the objective.

[02:31:29] Yeah, I thought they would just use that opportunity to just force the dragon.

[02:31:35] But as you say, they don't feel super confident about it.

[02:31:37] After this wave, I imagine, somebody's going to push us out.

[02:31:39] And yeah, we actually see Skeens going to the top camp.

[02:31:41] So, you know, good patience from Navi.

[02:31:43] All things considered, if they'll go for the dragon right away,

[02:31:45] they lose the mid control on that wave, so they just wait for it.

[02:31:48] One more patient game between the worlds, there's Kobe throws out of the rock adult.

[02:31:53] Later he's able to spear rush back to safety Paris.

[02:31:55] Again, just getting chunked as he steps up to Yoppa, Dragon is secured, Mickey lands a Tango Barbs.

[02:32:01] Some blue and burst damage under Reletch, but he gets out of there. Second Dragon to Navi.

[02:32:07] But he himself's in a good spot here in game two. Uh-oh.

[02:32:11] We enter with another umbrella, lands a knock-up on the wonder, doesn't have the ult, it's 8 seconds cooldown if you had that, that might have just been another solo kill.

[02:32:20] Are you really seeing how much it sucks now?

[02:32:22] Yup.

[02:32:23] Yes.

[02:32:24] I believe you've bet it.

[02:32:25] Yes, it's, uh, Mainta really winning out, he's gonna get a solo tower, the first one of the game, 420 gold into the pocket of this Rek'Sai.

[02:32:32] I don't think Rek'Sai has the easiest time against an Ezreal, but if he can tick him once, that ulti, uh, the gap closed is obviously gonna be very valuable.

[02:32:40] The role is, but Ralech is positioning here.

[02:32:42] Yeah, he's on spotted, now he sees Mickey get straight in onto the Niko.

[02:32:46] Poby missing the two-fold hacks, but the flash from Ralech will be enough.

[02:32:50] Poby on a rampage, Ralech killing Leder under Turret, and Navi, fine two.

[02:32:55] Yeah, this game is snowballing out of control now.

[02:32:58] Navi continue to find picks, skeens, he had one nice play around the Dragon,

[02:33:02] but in contrast to the impact that Ralech has had, he's basically a bit invisible.

[02:33:06] Three, one and five, the scoreline of this atrox right now.

[02:33:09] He's been making a bunch of ganks happen, there's really only that dragon play where Navi ended up falling short, but it feels like they control pretty much the entire map.

[02:33:17] And now Mature's looking for even more here.

[02:33:20] He's in a 1v2 with Skeens and Wunder, but Paris in his back pocket will help him out.

[02:33:25] Florida Trickster gets Skeens to safety, and now Yopas joined up as well.

[02:33:29] Temperate fate defensively from Paris, but he's immediately cycloned on the way out.

[02:33:34] Skeens picking up the kill.

[02:33:35] Okay, so the game plan is becoming who makes less mistakes because Navi just said to top to fight for a skirmish

[02:33:44] I guess they were getting ready to set up the Herald, but they've walked into the balling

[02:33:48] They give over a kill and now the question becomes can Joppa carry from this position

[02:33:53] It's kind of the player that we're watching as they're looking for another fight

[02:33:55] Yes, Keens does not have the cyclone this time around, so Reletch feeling confident to walk in there

[02:34:00] He was looking at their back

[02:34:01] Yeah, I sure they lost their support but they'll end up getting the Harold for it which I think is

[02:34:07] I think that's worth. I think now they should be pretty happy with that

[02:34:10] Hey, they got Samdies ult there mid as well. So that's you know another small WF SK

[02:34:16] That is true, but this game is looking rather bleak for them right now. Oh, we rock

[02:34:21] Okay, man. He's using that rock about on cooldown right now

[02:34:25] He went to the school JoJo punters a teleport in onto the bottom side here

[02:34:28] That will be a flanking TP for Mainter. Reletch is still pretty far away.

[02:34:32] So Wonder, I imagine, gets out of this predicament. That's a big wave as well that Mainter's given up for this play with Schemes in the back pocket.

[02:34:38] Wonder will get away.

[02:34:42] So just respect being shown there from both parties.

[02:34:45] Mainter establishing his authority, whereas Wonder respecting the possibility of a gank or even a follow-up and not willing to take that trade.

[02:34:53] Ultimately though, it's Na'Vi that hold onto a small goldy. Dragons are going to be their priority as the next one spawned in about two minutes time.

[02:35:00] Both Top and Bot tower having been secured, making it much easier for Na'Vi to get that early push and then move into enemy jungle to fish for some deep wards.

[02:35:07] As you can see on the minimap they're doing right now. They've got one ward on the red buff. They've got one ward just on the entrance towards that top side.

[02:35:13] And this should make it much easier for Na'Vi to do what he's doing.

[02:35:16] Oh, big damage on the leader as he will just walk away doesn't have to use the spear rush or the flash

[02:35:22] So I'm saving the cooldown

[02:35:23] But Poby is sending a message right now of how much stronger he is this time around Yopa now has to arcane ship back

[02:35:31] He will not land so Yopa is fine

[02:35:33] But yet things are going very different in game number two

[02:35:37] We're at a game number one is a herald will crash into mid turn in fact that knocky solo laners are

[02:35:42] very far ahead. Mainter is winning the 1v1, Poby is winning the 1v1, and that's allowing

[02:35:48] Reletch to have a much stronger game as well. He was more focused on the bot side early on,

[02:35:53] but at this point the entire map is open, and the team can start grouping up. So I gotta

[02:35:56] ask you, Betty, what are the options for SK? For this composition, when you're in this

[02:36:01] position, you're not winning the solo lanes. I don't even know if you win like a

[02:36:05] grouped up team fight. What do you need to be looking for at this point?

[02:36:08] picks mainly. You have to leverage leader's ability to catch targets off guard. Same thing

[02:36:13] for Wanda. They've got fantastic single target lockdown. But that does rely, Navey, to overstay

[02:36:20] or be caught out on the side lane. Like right now, Poby's just sitting there on topside.

[02:36:24] That's the sort of thing that you'd be fishing for. Like maybe while Navey is setting up

[02:36:27] for the dragon, he oversteps, they might have picked it and you could maybe trade

[02:36:30] it for a top tower or something because right now they've got nothing. Right? Your

[02:36:34] best bet is to try and unlock some powers, to get a little bit of that standing gold

[02:36:37] back into your pockets. It looks like they're in a position to try and challenge the straight.

[02:36:41] The problem is there is just a gold discrepancy. And so I do not know if they have wallets big

[02:36:46] enough to really fight this.

[02:36:47] They're not going to find the picks, so maybe Plan B is give Yoppa a red ball and hope

[02:36:50] he carries. He's 3-1-1 on the Ezreal trying to get some damage down on the Paris, but

[02:36:55] nature is looking at him as well. The temper fakes flash out of Yoppa, flash from Miki

[02:36:58] with pop loss amount of 3, public execution gets out of Samedi. Miki's out of there,

[02:37:03] And he's trying to get back as Ralech will claim it in Mickey's life.

[02:37:06] Yoppa in trouble as Ralech is on top of him as well.

[02:37:09] It's all about the Ajax, baby!

[02:37:12] Double kill to Ralech as he'll look for the third out of Skins.

[02:37:16] Navi's jungler putting the team on his back and hard-winning that teamfight.

[02:37:20] It looked like a pretty close fight up until it didn't.

[02:37:23] Ralech stamping his authority in the fight as he wiped Yoppa off the rift.

[02:37:29] And he turned it into a winning skirmish for Navi.

[02:37:32] They'll secure that third dragon to the game and then look in to bring us to a third game.

[02:37:36] Solid team fighting from Navi's jungler.

[02:37:39] That was about as good as it was going to look for SK.

[02:37:43] But still, everyone's focused on diving onto Sambi who gets out with a barred portal.

[02:37:47] Let's take another look at it, because Sambi actually gets to safety while Ralech can just hit onto the back line.

[02:37:53] Exactly. You can see Mingta on the flank as well, trying to find an opportunity.

[02:37:56] Early flash from Yoppa, good response from Miki, Mingta keeping the jungle, make combo busy.

[02:38:01] buying a lot of time where his wonder is just deep and isolated. And what if I leave? Yoppa,

[02:38:06] completely alone to have to try and deal with the raid boss of the ledge. He says,

[02:38:09] nah, this time the raid boss wins, you're gonna have to reset, come back out onto the map,

[02:38:15] whereas I will take my loot, which is the drain. And yeah, they got Mainter, so that's one raid

[02:38:21] boss down. What about the second raid boss? Maybe the third? There's so many threats on

[02:38:26] Navi's composition. All four of these members between the Wrexide, the Atrox,

[02:38:31] the Aurora and the Sivir can just kind of take over a teamfight. It's like in a right angle.

[02:38:35] It's like in a game when you, you, the boss HP bar hits to zero.

[02:38:39] And then a second HP bar.

[02:38:41] And then the boss music doesn't stop.

[02:38:44] Why am I not celebrating? I should hear the victory song right now.

[02:38:48] What do you mean is a cutscene?

[02:38:50] This is the good cutscene, right?

[02:38:52] Why is the earth shaking and falling apart around me

[02:38:56] and the platform raising into the air with an atrox lift and a sword?

[02:38:59] I still think one of the hardest quotes in League is I'm not your enemy, I'm the enemy from Aatrox.

[02:39:06] It's so metal, it's so cool.

[02:39:09] And yeah, right now, Lelechi is the enemy of SK.

[02:39:12] He is 5-1 and 5.

[02:39:15] He's quickly becoming synonymous with this champion as he continues to just roll the rift with an iron fist.

[02:39:23] Baron is available, I don't expect that to be started immediately.

[02:39:26] It's a risky objective to start this early on.

[02:39:28] on. Navi's best play is mainly just to play for Sol. SK is already behind. You have control

[02:39:33] over a lot of the map. There's no need to overcomplicate over 4 center things, just

[02:39:37] by time, farm, even. People into Cross-Map. Maybe you can trade like a tier 1 for a tier

[02:39:42] 2 down in the bottom side of the roof, for example, something like that. Or they can

[02:39:45] just focus on protecting what they have. They haven't dropped the turret yet. Bounties

[02:39:49] are up, so SK can get some more gold to start with to get those, but they're

[02:39:53] just going to go for a play instead between Worlds and PODE, as Karas has a bit

[02:39:57] available but several Mexico journey out now throws up the temperate fate not

[02:40:00] gonna land on anybody dodged by Mickey and leader as all of us he's trying to

[02:40:04] get out of their schemes can't get over the wall has to cyclone so old down on

[02:40:07] the Wukong big cool down for Navi as they could look at the Baron so nothing

[02:40:13] did the opposite of what I said which is they should consider just playing

[02:40:15] slow and safe and waiting for the the next dragon instead they said at all

[02:40:20] we could fight to the death wait that's not more fun I mean the fighting

[02:40:23] Definitely looked good for them. They were able to get leaders flash, which hey, I mean better than nothing

[02:40:30] They're not good. No, they're not going to that guy. They're just gonna stop

[02:40:35] Do you realize what's happened so far in this game? They've been with me

[02:40:38] They've ignored everything you've said and they've just done what they feel like doing right now

[02:40:42] They feel like going for the Baron

[02:40:44] They decide to take a lot of that damage matrix and knock up in on the hemphobie

[02:40:48] dominating 602 as the jungler picked off from SK. Why do I bother? Like anything I

[02:40:54] say in a Na'Vi game the opposite happens. Yeah that looks great. I don't know, it's

[02:40:58] good thing they didn't listen to what you were saying. Na'Vi you should not give me

[02:41:01] a million euros like you should do that.

[02:41:04] Byron is going to be stopping us. Wait that's crazy! There's somebody who's had a briefcase, wearing a Na'Vi jersey, walking out of the Velia's right now.

[02:41:11] Alright, well Baron's starting to buy Na'Vi, looks like they will give this one

[02:41:15] Uncontested no surprise. No jungler on SK means that they're just gonna try and get the side waves in instead wonder already hitting that tier 2

[02:41:22] Bonsai

[02:41:22] Yeah, it looks like we're going to game 3 based on how this game was playing out SK has been very quiet in this game

[02:41:28] It felt like the from start to finish it has been simply run by Navi

[02:41:32] They have been the one driving the game forward and they have not really taken their foot off the pedal

[02:41:37] We that he's doing when he can to get some plates back

[02:41:39] We'll look back at this play. I mean schemes cautious that the Baron being started

[02:41:42] He saw the brand being so he fell for the track that

[02:41:45] Not he had set up he face checks and then he ends up dying

[02:41:48] And this is just another one of the problems with eski's composition is that they don't have a champion that's consigned

[02:42:12] you

[02:42:42] you

[02:43:00] Okay

[02:43:12] you

[02:43:42] You

[02:46:12] I

[02:46:42] Okay, all right, and we're back everybody apologies for the delay right there

[02:46:51] There are some technical issues that we had to sort out but we have power outage

[02:46:54] It happens somewhat okay, I would I would reckon that that could be it

[02:46:57] But we're back to about where we were when we left off

[02:47:00] So let's just continue on with Navi looking to victory March away

[02:47:04] So they have the Baron and they're looking to see so at home you guys have not missed anything

[02:47:08] We have brought the game back the players on stage have continued their game

[02:47:11] This didn't affect them in any way shape or form

[02:47:13] We are coming to you from when the pause happened and so we're now seeing this alongside with you as

[02:47:19] Looking for the flank right now temperature will land

[02:47:21] But it's only out of the clone and instead scheme to get out of the back line looking for something throw it in body

[02:47:27] And it's worth it leader also gives out a sub D. It's just some down meanwhile Mickey peeling form leader

[02:47:33] On the least in the fight and defended by the team SK actually made some magic happen right there

[02:47:40] They might just get major he'll shut down Mickey but a little bit with another one, and it's actually wonder picking up that kill

[02:47:47] Okay, well we're back to live at SK. I'm happy to come back Paris almost dying to the true shop garage

[02:47:53] Oh, you'll pull up to the more old big trouble will be the other

[02:47:57] I don't know. Yoppa barely limps away.

[02:48:00] Very, very, very close there for Yoppa.

[02:48:03] But wow, SK, they're able to punish a dive from Navi

[02:48:07] on the bot side, which means that now they've bought themselves

[02:48:10] a little bit more time.

[02:48:11] And the timing couldn't be better for them

[02:48:13] because Wukong is back alive.

[02:48:15] The dragon is up.

[02:48:15] There's no smite available right now,

[02:48:17] but Skeen's is on his way.

[02:48:20] Yes, so Poby's still here, still deathless, by the way.

[02:48:22] But I don't think he was able to get a purchase off there.

[02:48:24] No, he did.

[02:48:25] He TP'd back.

[02:48:26] OK.

[02:48:26] So Navi might still be able to turn this, but Wunder gets straight onto Paris and Yalba's on him as well!

[02:48:30] Paris is down!

[02:48:31] So Poby has no backup and that is dragon to SK.

[02:48:35] That is... what a time for a pause to happen.

[02:48:38] SK just immediately roared back to life and are kinda back in this game.

[02:48:44] So it's Skiens that sees an opportunity onto Sandi.

[02:48:47] As the dive comes through, the ulti from Poby doesn't really connect up to anyone.

[02:48:51] Sandi then gets knocked up. He takes a ton of damage from Skiens.

[02:48:54] Whilst Inz does lose his life, Leedon and comes in from the flank, uses his mobility to get a pick, then it's Ralech!

[02:49:02] The fight himself isolated against 4, he can't lock anyone down because of the possibility that we were talking about.

[02:49:08] Nikki tries to play fake with the clone, but doesn't end up working out, but it still works out in the favor of SK as well as the principle of the kill.

[02:49:15] So now Navi's right back to his bottom turn, it's so low, probably just one auto, we'll take it down.

[02:49:21] It's nice for SK to get the dragon, it's nice for him to get some shutdowns.

[02:49:26] It's still a 4000 gold lead for Navi.

[02:49:29] They're in overhaul.

[02:49:30] It is still... Okay, 3... I'm sure it's shrinking.

[02:49:32] But it's still an advantage specifically for Poby.

[02:49:35] This Aurora is about to become a monster once that Rabidon's deathcap is finished

[02:49:40] and we're right around the corner from that.

[02:49:41] Yeah, I mean the 10 stacks on the seal, still there.

[02:49:44] Uh, the... uh, if he upgrades that to the Mej eyes, then that could very well be scary.

[02:49:51] The leader did get a lot of assists and some kills, so eight stacks on that Dark Seal.

[02:49:55] Like, leader's back in this game with three items completed already.

[02:49:58] Yeah, absolutely. I mean, that's the thing.

[02:49:59] In terms of items, AD carries look very similar, midlaners look very similar.

[02:50:04] Of course, when that deathcap comes in, it's going to be quite scary to have to deal with.

[02:50:08] But really, the only main advantage I see is in favor of Relet should...

[02:50:12] Again, the key thing is that SK bought themselves a little bit more time.

[02:50:16] When you're this far behind, the best thing you can do is just stall the game out longer.

[02:50:21] Because then gold matters less right once these items are completed having that gold advantage just doesn't mean anything and it's when two compositions like

[02:50:31] When you argue like a composition snowballs better or something like this

[02:50:34] Then if you can level the playing field by equalizing yourself in terms of items then it's not gonna be a problem

[02:50:39] So that's what I gave playing for right now playing for time

[02:50:41] I am I will say usually I don't hear color casters say let the simmer keep scaling one

[02:50:46] I would agree with you, but the key thing here comes back to range.

[02:50:51] True, yeah.

[02:50:52] So, how comfortably can Sivir actually play in this game?

[02:50:56] And right now, it's really just the Ambesa and the Wukong you're hitting, but we saw

[02:50:59] what happened in the last fight.

[02:51:00] If Skeens can get on top of Samedi, you're in a lot of trouble as a Sivir.

[02:51:04] You get the 1 spell shield, and you have Barrier as well to try and stay alive.

[02:51:08] So that's a great point, Betty, that we think of Sivir as this, you know, if

[02:51:12] you get to that 6 items, you just clear waves with 1 auto and then win team fights,

[02:51:16] It's gonna be hard to actually get the ricochets because everyone's gonna be spreading apart and also just diving out the up of you

[02:51:20] Yeah, I mean obviously if civic and hit hurts

[02:51:23] Yeah, but the question becomes can she hit because we saw exactly in that bot lane fight what I was talking about

[02:51:29] When relax, he's in the middle of three and everyone is just dancing around him

[02:51:34] And he's just awkwardly kind of trying to get in range

[02:51:37] But he can't actually hit anyone so the mobility it escapes biggest

[02:51:40] compositional strength advantage that they have of a Navi, but the biggest problem they have is just gold.

[02:51:46] So there's the deathcap finished in the mid lane for Poby, three and a half items finished for Relection.

[02:51:52] They still hold on to the item lead and that could very well be enough to be the difference maker between the outcome of an upcoming fight.

[02:51:58] And we have Baron spotting here in 10 seconds time. Navi still can use the gold advantage while they have it

[02:52:05] to make sure that they can win teamfights around these objectives, use them as the magnet to pull SK in.

[02:52:10] But SK, I mean Wunder's still focused on this bottom side. This is multiple times he's just pushed in this wave.

[02:52:16] Somebody from Na'Vi's gonna have to go answer that.

[02:52:18] Right now, Perus heading down there. Okay, Mictor is actually heading down in that direction.

[02:52:22] Has the TP available. That makes a lot of sense for the Wrex side.

[02:52:25] But this gives a small window where SK can now send Wunder up towards the rest of the team.

[02:52:29] And they can group up to try and get vision control around the Baron.

[02:52:34] Okay, so I mean I wasn't expecting this game to be in this type of state.

[02:52:38] I really thought that I'm just going to wonder what's spotted also by that ward so they know that wonders there. Okay, okay? Well

[02:52:46] You hear the boss music

[02:52:48] It did actually pop up in the game right there anytime the chorus comes in the choir, you know, that's when you know

[02:52:55] You're in yeah, exactly exactly. It's good. Hey, if they've done their jobs. It'll cue just as the atrobs alts

[02:53:01] All right dragon 30 seconds again

[02:53:03] So Eskid kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place now because there's always the risk of the Baron being started at the risk of a dragon's soul.

[02:53:10] Whereas Navi seems to best have a very much set on this dragon mid. Wave is secured. That tower's still up though.

[02:53:16] Yeah, Minto was able to push the bottom wave, go for a reset, and he now right back to the last wave.

[02:53:21] Miles away from the soul right now. I think Navi should genuinely be feel okay with this trade.

[02:53:26] It takes off a Baron, I think, and worth it, yeah.

[02:53:30] But it looks like they want a contest instead.

[02:53:33] They don't want to give SK any other tools, any possibility to come back in.

[02:53:36] Because if you give that Baron, then suddenly a team fights, maybe they are able to win one and just end the game right off of it.

[02:53:42] Nature has a flank right now, they're checking as Mickey flashes, Gorgias flashes onto SOM-D.

[02:53:46] Nature meanwhile jumps in onto him.

[02:53:48] Temperate will land onto the damage.

[02:53:50] Wonder what a Poby vs. Wonder, but Nature gets the first kill and able to flash out to safety.

[02:53:55] Now, tag in the boss.

[02:53:57] Here comes Ralech! The Atrox unleashes!

[02:54:00] Sombie can finally free-fire and hit.

[02:54:02] Flash from the Atrox, gets a clone out of scheme.

[02:54:05] Poby with the kill, and Ralech will chase down Yopah.

[02:54:08] Leader will try and help out his AD carry as he jumps over the wall.

[02:54:11] The charm will land. Ralech actually in some trouble.

[02:54:13] Yopah feeling confident to go forward, and he gets the kill!

[02:54:17] Ah, the Ralech bossed down! Yopah stands!

[02:54:22] Yopah, across the veil.

[02:54:23] Oh, it doesn't have the damage. The weirdness is going to miss.

[02:54:25] He keeps an eye on the leader, but Yoppa is now the boss!

[02:54:29] Yoppa! The main character!

[02:54:31] True shop Raj Nak in a land!

[02:54:33] Harris is able to live that one, but Yoppa keeping SK in this.

[02:54:37] I mean, Yoppa is the hero for SK right now,

[02:54:41] but I am shocked that Navi chased so deep for those kills.

[02:54:45] There is a soul on the rift available for you to take,

[02:54:48] and now your jungler is dead, whereas Skins...

[02:54:51] I mean, that has...

[02:54:53] Oh, I'm getting confused,

[02:54:54] because it's Mickey turned as I thought the schemes is back on the map, I thought for it again.

[02:54:57] So Mickey doesn't connect the engage after any one.

[02:55:00] Double flashes of burn from the carries, which might be helpful later,

[02:55:03] but then a beautiful ball also connects onto the damage as you identify.

[02:55:06] Wonder's trying to threaten Kobe, but it's Wonder that's forced to retreat,

[02:55:10] and straight from the offset, SK's on the back foot.

[02:55:12] They weren't able to get good damage down, they're forced to retreat.

[02:55:15] The only shining hope is that Yoppa is still staying at arm's length.

[02:55:19] But then now they get greedy, they're hungry for kills, they think they can get more.

[02:55:23] A good Chame comes through from Lita getting good damage

[02:55:25] and then Yopah sees his opportunity.

[02:55:27] And again, he's able to dodge once over the wall

[02:55:30] to get away from Pobi's weird name.

[02:55:31] Again over the wall to get away from the cosmic binding.

[02:55:35] Yopah played this fight so well, but is it enough?

[02:55:39] They get the dragon afterwards.

[02:55:40] You see SK with the second one,

[02:55:42] but that means Navee get free reign over this Baron.

[02:55:45] So once again, the soul is denied.

[02:55:47] But once again, Navee will pick up a Baron buff.

[02:55:49] They can try and use this to attempt to close out of the game, but I mean like you'd highlighted before but I mean

[02:55:55] Wonder's gonna get a turn down here though later this game goes the less that gold lead matters

[02:55:59] Yeah, because the closer that percentage is gonna be I mean like when teams are kind of a four items each

[02:56:07] Usually items on top of that end up being like luxury items sure

[02:56:12] Not that they can't be additional damage especially for 80 carries

[02:56:14] But like look at there's the fifth item now finished for Sam be like it's a GA

[02:56:18] Right, you know, and obviously that's gonna help a lot in terms of but

[02:56:23] Double sinners books, by the way

[02:56:28] LCS here leader and poby feeling confident enough to pick those up

[02:56:34] I thought they were facing into an army that

[02:56:37] Says everybody had a roll latch Paris will drop down the drop drop give him an escape tool

[02:56:42] But the charm lands where let's kick like it in there, but he's still alive

[02:56:44] They barely take him down, but it takes so long that Navi will answer back in kind.

[02:56:50] Yopa's trying to get back to safety, has Micky there. The auto from Paris will slow him down.

[02:56:54] Sambi's running forward, has the portal. Yopa arcane shifting back as Poby will look to take down Micky,

[02:57:01] who baited him being the Ezreal. Navi though, I mean they've separated all members of SK

[02:57:06] and they have a wave in the mid lane. They're just gonna push the end.

[02:57:09] Harris is going to stop the badge, but the Shoe Shopper Raj will get a kill, yelp on a rampage,

[02:57:14] maybe he with a flank up in the back line, leader with a shutdown on the Probe!

[02:57:20] And SK will defend at the base! A Tingle Bar is perfectly timed! Second shutdown to leader! SK win the fight!

[02:57:29] What is happening? What the hell is this? This is insane!

[02:57:34] So, this is the worst possible position for SK to fight.

[02:57:37] They are grouped up inside the jungle, and Sandi just gets to unleash.

[02:57:42] Look at the bouncing blades, look at the damages dealing to everyone, as SK simply melts.

[02:57:48] They have to retreat, but Joppa, this man is not missing his cues.

[02:57:53] Connect after connect after connect, chipping down onto Paris, who's trying to interrupt his base.

[02:57:59] Navi think if Yopa doesn't get back we can end the game, but then Mickey

[02:58:04] Mickey with an incredible play connects double alt into double root

[02:58:11] Into then leader coming up and getting a double kill. Wow just beautiful beautiful stuff from Mickey SK

[02:58:17] Hold on to this game and the perfectly timed tangle barbs afterwards double shut down to leader

[02:58:23] 20 stacks on the meshes, Poby just sold his, this game has completely flipped on a tag.

[02:58:31] And again, the gold means less and less, that midtown would have finally fold.

[02:58:36] Now we get a little bit of that for now.

[02:58:37] The difference made in Stodge by Leader and Yopal, Ralech now taking a huge chunk of damage.

[02:58:42] And that's not even Flash is burned, that Spirit Rush, that's Arcane Shift.

[02:58:46] Yeah, SK, they absorbed it.

[02:58:48] That was very cool from Lita. He rocket belted forward, ulti backwards.

[02:58:52] backwards. That was very nice to sidestep it all. He then connects the chart. They finally get that mid tower.

[02:58:57] Again this goal just matters less and less and later into the game we go. But Navi

[02:59:02] against Koi they found an impressive comeback. But with a lead they've made

[02:59:07] too many overconfident plays and they haven't respected the playmaking

[02:59:11] potential of SK. Yeah I mean it's feel like SK they've unlocked their limit break here.

[02:59:15] If they're fighting the boss they got through the first health bar. They're over half

[02:59:19] Halfway through the second the combos of this team and what they're calling off right now very impressive

[02:59:24] Wonder teeth are back is stopped as a relish is able to get on top of them TP in from Poby

[02:59:29] This would be a massive pick for Navi wonders gotta live his team has put in so much work to keep them in this game

[02:59:36] He's on the best of flash for from relish will land Poby with the kill

[02:59:41] What could make him look this into them? It's a minute until windows

[02:59:44] Wanda spawns.

[02:59:46] 40 seconds till Dragnook. He won't be up for it.

[02:59:48] Perhaps TP.

[02:59:49] So there's a 12-second decent, so they would have to stall for 12 seconds.

[02:59:53] And before he could join, and then of course the actual time for the TP to arrive.

[02:59:57] 12 seconds is a long time against 5-item-siver against Poby, who's still 8-1 and 3.

[03:00:02] Navi have a window here.

[03:00:05] How do SK delay those 12 seconds to get Wunder back on the map?

[03:00:10] The main tier TP's back in. Navier just gonna control the mid wave and Leader currently is shoving that top lane in.

[03:00:18] They run a soul here for Navier if they can lock this one down. Top seems to be the focus.

[03:00:23] They're trying to trade gold. It looks like they've just abandoned the soul. Yeah, I guess they cannot. Yeah, so, Dragons 4, it's the time it starts, 9 seconds, 8.

[03:00:33] Yeah, they're not even gonna attempt to stall. They'll just give over the soul, okay.

[03:00:37] Tough timing for Wunder to get picked right there.

[03:00:40] He's able to get the wave shoved in, but Rilech stops the back and that rewards Navi with the Dragon's soul.

[03:00:47] Baron's gonna be coming up in one minute's time.

[03:00:50] I gotta say though, even though that was a slight blunder there in the very tail end of this game,

[03:00:55] the fact that we're at this point of the game is still impressive, Betty.

[03:00:59] SK have not given up. They've held on for much longer than I expected.

[03:01:03] I thought that two barons ago this game was gonna be wrapped.

[03:01:06] Well, I think it was over-aggression on the side of Navi and also Yoppa just being a bit of a star.

[03:01:13] So impressive stuff from him. Let's see if he can continue to work his magic here.

[03:01:19] Vicky is a piece of cake.

[03:01:21] That won't work, Vicky. They're not going to go anywhere near it.

[03:01:24] I mean, they might.

[03:01:25] Look at the mini map. You just see a honey fruit.

[03:01:28] Look at it! Okay, there's a chance.

[03:01:32] Although they're not looking to bear it at all. I mean, it's coming up in 15 seconds.

[03:01:35] This is a long con

[03:01:38] He's gonna have to stay there for quite a while

[03:01:42] That would have been good though. That's my way to our business leader has a flank right now looking at main tier one charm

[03:01:47] Is he about soft at all?

[03:01:49] Mickey just

[03:01:52] Everyone's looking at him skeens is also deep in enemy territory. He's definitely spotted out

[03:01:56] No, it is actually just Mickey on the meat go temporary will land cause they're finding easy follow-up and

[03:02:01] And Mickey in enemy territory trying to find a game-winning flank will instead

[03:02:07] Get picked off by Navi and that might just be the parent for an army. He's by a lot of time

[03:02:14] So SK will have some time to get some waves, but they're not even pushing top

[03:02:17] They're not pushing bot that is just a pick for Navi. Yeah, he overcooked and he ended up getting punished for it

[03:02:22] Has poby now overcooked is he in no man's life?

[03:02:25] Big chunk on the leader the charm will go wide hope he's able to sidestep that one across the veil between worlds

[03:02:30] Blast cone and Yoppa continuing to chase. I mean Ezreal can follow it up and he's got the damage

[03:02:37] Shutdown for Yoppa kill for kill, but it's apparent secure for Navi, and I think they're happy with this trade

[03:02:42] They just wait for Poby to come back to life and then it'll be lost on the Baron, but

[03:02:46] They'll be able to I mean I think close out the game off the back of that

[03:02:50] I mean, that's more gold on the Yoppa. He's getting close towards that full build, but it is still a gold lead for Navi plus the Baron

[03:03:00] This came man. This is just a pendulum swing and back and forth

[03:03:05] Navi have yet to give up that gold lead, but it just feels like there's this magic in SK's hands right now

[03:03:11] I don't know what to call it

[03:03:13] Maybe it's main character syndrome. It's Yoppa. Yoppa is the name of the magic

[03:03:18] he

[03:03:19] He continues to land these skill shots, and he's making it difficult for this to happen.

[03:03:22] Double TP? That's a double TP in.

[03:03:24] That was a choice.

[03:03:26] Yeah, I mean, I guess they thought that they could catch Sam Di out.

[03:03:30] They thought that he'd overstepped, but they walk away to safety.

[03:03:33] Now he's completely fine. That's both TP's now gone.

[03:03:35] I mean, there's no objectives on the map, so like, what are you really going to use those TP pulls anyway?

[03:03:38] Yeah.

[03:03:38] The next fight is probably going to decide the game.

[03:03:40] We got Elder Dragon in three minutes. We got Baron in five.

[03:03:44] We got Sam Di pressing the R button, running at leader.

[03:03:47] Temperate bait will get out the spirit rush leaders able to dodge that one easily and now we do not find their engage

[03:03:53] Meanwhile, Poby they were to TP back on to the rift and we'll start getting this inhibitor. It will go down

[03:03:59] It's gonna be another inhibitor as well

[03:04:01] Now they taking their time picking apart the base of SK

[03:04:06] realizing that they've thrown one too many times this game and they

[03:04:09] Instead just need to do it piece by piece. I

[03:04:12] I think there's no way they're gonna wait for elder all day. Do they eat elder? I may be maybe they do

[03:04:18] We do have full item some D. Sivir has reached critical mass all six items plus the boots

[03:04:26] Yopas just finished there, so

[03:04:29] Circumstane picked up for some of the shielding coming in from the items. Poby has a big flank right here

[03:04:34] I mean if he's able to unleash everything on the Yopah and just eliminate this Ezreal at the start of the fight

[03:04:40] That's huge and he's sticking in that brush. Oh, he's not moving. I think it looks as top so severe. I don't I

[03:04:48] Don't understand. He's been spotted. They pinged it. They see it. I don't know where he's going at this

[03:04:53] Okay, that's case ended up in the bar lane. We're just kind of like passing away to each other

[03:04:57] I mean it's in the no SK is pushing out mid of ball as much as possible so that it's easy to defend top

[03:05:03] Na'Vi however, I just kind of a bit of everywhere they need to get to top lane relatively soon

[03:05:08] I don't know why Reletion didn't go off like it.

[03:05:10] I really don't think it matters when you're about to end the game, but alright.

[03:05:14] Okay, Spice, let's push that final item as a flash.

[03:05:17] Gamed to the Sombri schemes, just finds the 80 carry and straight out of the GA.

[03:05:22] He's in trouble, Sombri full health bar back, and he's gonna go down.

[03:05:26] Wunder picks it up, but it's a heavy cost.

[03:05:29] As Reletion mainter, the bosses step up to the plate.

[03:05:33] Poby with a double kill as Wunder and Mickey will fall.

[03:05:37] Na-Vee absorbs the engage.

[03:05:41] Their AD carry was the bait,

[03:05:43] and the solo laner slots jungler clothes it out.

[03:05:46] Na-Vee in a panger of a game.

[03:05:50] Well, even this series, we're going to another game.

[03:05:54] We had a lot in this game too.

[03:05:56] We had a lot happen,

[03:05:58] and we don't need to get up about it,

[03:06:00] so the deaths can't take it away, guys.

[03:06:02] Thank you so much.

[03:06:04] Hello.

[03:06:05] Yeah, thank you so much.

[03:06:07] You see Mainter having a sip of his, I don't know what,

[03:06:10] Red Bull water after being like that.

[03:06:12] I would definitely sip the stronger after that game.

[03:06:14] Yeah.

[03:06:14] It was so back-up for him.

[03:06:15] That was crazy, because after that start from Rilac,

[03:06:17] you thought, oh, my god, this is going to be easy.

[03:06:19] I have to say, this is one of the weirdest broadcast

[03:06:21] experiences I've had in my life, right?

[03:06:24] Because we're watching the game go,

[03:06:27] but they're ahead because something happened.

[03:06:29] I don't know what.

[03:06:30] So we're watching their portraits and like how they're feeling,

[03:06:34] but nobody's emoting at all.

[03:06:35] So we actually don't know what's happening.

[03:06:36] I'm like trying to psychoanalyze every model facial expression.

[03:06:40] Are they done?

[03:06:41] Are you done?

[03:06:42] Is it?

[03:06:43] Are you happy?

[03:06:43] And then he was like, I heard some of these say we're going to end.

[03:06:45] Yeah, I mean, you could see that they thought

[03:06:47] they could have multiple times and then they couldn't.

[03:06:49] But I like also how it turned into the biggest fiesta

[03:06:52] game of all time, right?

[03:06:55] As we lose like power or whatever it was.

[03:06:57] It couldn't be more picturesque.

[03:06:59] It's crazy.

[03:07:00] should have just been a free win for Navi and now I'm starting to lose. I don't even know what

[03:07:05] reality is like. Are you losing faith? I'm losing faith. Why? Because this was such a weird game,

[03:07:12] like you have Reledge, he gets really fed on the 8rocks, right? And the game looks really good.

[03:07:17] And then it's 40 minutes of just the most clown fiesta back and forth. Everybody throws.

[03:07:24] You're talking about LEC, the second best free to work on.

[03:07:28] Yeah, I mean if you put either of these teams against BFX.

[03:07:31] When we become the second best team in the region, it becomes we're out playing now, we're no longer throwing.

[03:07:35] It was a high degree of mechanical display and I mean not so much brain display.

[03:07:39] Yeah, I want to take a look at the failed end from Navi because this one when we were watching and we heard somebody say...

[03:07:45] This one was a bad mechanical display actually, let's watch this if we can get the replay up because there is no world here where okay, this is not the end.

[03:07:52] It's not the right replay.

[03:07:54] Well, this is a tier fight. I don't even

[03:08:01] Get a bunch of kills they're chasing SK down

[03:08:05] Yoppa is super low. So really all they need to do here to actually win the game

[03:08:09] Yeah, it's just have Yoppa not be able to base. Yeah, and

[03:08:13] Paras has the right idea in like stopping him and he's like 10 HP

[03:08:16] Maybe you even I think you always try to cancel here if paras dodges the S-Roll ult

[03:08:21] Then I'd say the game is 100% over because you can't base but even then you can still probably end the game

[03:08:27] But we get two man altered by Mickey. We are under tower getting chunked

[03:08:32] Everybody's just dying the hilarious thing was the Ezreal helped to clear the wave. So they're under terror with no minions left as well

[03:08:38] It was like a picture perfect scenario. I mean, this was supposed to be for an SK5. Yeah

[03:08:43] Yeah, I'll break it for now, but you can't like when you're up against the Niko

[03:08:46] You just need to note the group up and then you can't get the two man old yeah, it's just

[03:08:51] of things like this. It was the Drake yesterday, I think, or the day before.

[03:08:55] I mean, I think also just like these teams that don't want to end when they can end and

[03:09:00] messing it up at the finish line. Like, I feel like they are trying.

[03:09:03] They're trying. They're trying.

[03:09:05] Okay, we're being honest.

[03:09:06] Whoo! No! Whoo!

[03:09:07] I mean, really, ShanaeTrucks is always a joy to watch.

[03:09:10] It's- he was crazy again on the truck.

[03:09:11] Oh my gosh.

[03:09:12] I think like there were a few moments he got a little bit over Salus,

[03:09:15] and he died quite fast, but in the fights where he actually got one reset off

[03:09:19] and got to Sunder Skyprox, he was just unstoppable

[03:09:22] and you saw that the early game impact he has on this pick

[03:09:25] is bar none of any other jungler in the league on nature.

[03:09:27] And I love that they just kind of went, what went wrong in last game.

[03:09:30] Oh, Joppa was doing well.

[03:09:32] What can we do in this game?

[03:09:33] Target Joppa, just completely ruined his day.

[03:09:36] And he has like several ganks on his bottom lane.

[03:09:38] There's a really nice gank after this with the Bard off as well.

[03:09:40] And he was playing so well around just every side lane.

[03:09:44] And I think it says a lot that so much of that early game,

[03:09:47] you were like, oh, I want to praise you know,

[03:09:48] Poby gets a kill here or the bot lane gets a kill

[03:09:51] But it's always at the hands of a ledge that man's name is never out of your mouth

[03:09:54] It feels like when you talk about not it's true. I will say to your post credit. He's still made displayable

[03:10:00] Despite being ganged so so so so many times when we had a I don't know what happened

[03:10:04] I don't know for the power of your river whatever happened

[03:10:06] I went on reddit for a second and there was a comment from someone called. I'm poppy and they said as long as reledge

[03:10:12] As long as his mid doesn't get rolled harder than reledge rolls down the enemy team

[03:10:17] they win thoughts it's kind of accurate to me I don't know what happened to Poby

[03:10:22] honestly it's like it's feeling like Vladie 2.0 for me it's a bit special

[03:10:27] here but both of them they had a really good start they looked great

[03:10:30] LEC versus Poby even Cap said he was one of the three best mids right so that's

[03:10:35] the thing maybe I think what happened was that Jojo Pion heard this was like

[03:10:40] I need to create some sort of dark ritual for the first game I'm gonna

[03:10:43] steal all the power from Poby because Jojo looks absolutely insane and

[03:10:47] And then Poby just looks like he has no idea what that was going on.

[03:10:49] No, I'm not buying it.

[03:10:50] Yeah.

[03:10:51] So just doing some dark magic.

[03:10:52] It is, yeah.

[03:10:53] I don't think so.

[03:10:54] That's how he wins, and that's how they do it in NA, right?

[03:10:56] That's how they do it in NA.

[03:10:57] That's what they do over there.

[03:10:58] For sure.

[03:10:59] Okay, game three.

[03:11:00] What do we got?

[03:11:01] Because you lost Fade and Navi, so...

[03:11:02] I mean, okay, I still have more favorite Navi than SK.

[03:11:04] Really?

[03:11:05] I should be wrong.

[03:11:06] SK won, like, one and a half games.

[03:11:07] How many did Navi win, then?

[03:11:09] 0.5?

[03:11:10] Yeah.

[03:11:11] I mean, I think...

[03:11:12] They got dragons this game, though.

[03:11:14] I'm still sticking with my theory of if Poby doesn't get solo killed, Navi wins, but I get Yopa on a good team

[03:11:22] because this man is doing so damn well, no matter the circumstances, even in this one, as we pointed out,

[03:11:27] when he gets shut down in the early game, he has way more impact than SomD, so if there is a player that's going to carry SK,

[03:11:33] it's going to be Yopa.

[03:11:34] Yopa, gotta go hoppa, we'll see if that happens, we'll come right back with game 3 between Navi and SK.

[03:14:05] It's got me crawling in my skin

[03:14:07] But no one's coming out to hold me close

[03:14:11] Pouring out the gasoline

[03:14:13] Yeah, I've been making friends with all these girls

[03:14:15] And I got nothing left to lose

[03:14:20] Sorry to the fuses

[03:14:21] I

[03:14:51] It's fine to, to satisfy to refuse

[03:14:56] Well, it's not me to turn and run

[03:14:59] Met the bitter truth and I chucked it down

[03:15:02] Left the bad taste on my tongue

[03:15:04] But my appetite's been blowing out

[03:15:07] I can't see you crawling in your skin

[03:15:10] But no one's coming out to hold you close

[03:15:14] I'm pouring out the gasoline

[03:15:16] So say hello to all my ghosts

[03:15:51] I'm moving like a shadow

[03:15:56] You're walking in my dead zone

[03:16:00] Breathing slow

[03:16:03] Love the heart, love the high

[03:16:07] Watching life fade from your eyes

[03:16:21] Hello and welcome back for game number three of SK versus Navi.

[03:16:29] An odd one to say the least, the last game bet is the pause in the middle.

[03:16:34] Thankfully we were able to get back into it, but then SK held on so much longer than we expected.

[03:16:40] They absolutely did. That bot tower, by the way, just bot lane in general,

[03:16:45] down, plus down buff plus

[03:16:49] bot lane. It just teams throw

[03:16:51] they just do it every time I've

[03:16:53] seen it so many times throughout

[03:16:55] my career. It's teams need to

[03:16:57] get better at that. We also

[03:16:59] think we're seeing some of the

[03:17:01] growing pains of a younger

[03:17:02] roster like Navi as well like

[03:17:03] the late game. The difficulty

[03:17:05] to end it multiple times with

[03:17:07] multiple Barons. Side lanes

[03:17:10] have been kind of non

[03:17:12] existing through a lot of this

[03:17:14] in that game as well we saw that Navi just like weren't able to get their

[03:17:17] waves in a position where they could actually push in and go for this big

[03:17:20] and instead both teams are trying to opt in for death brushes instead and just

[03:17:24] trying to catch people out of position so sometimes that works you can find a

[03:17:27] big with a team fight win but or like one picked to close it out and

[03:17:31] unfortunately was kind of mickey get picked off towards the end of that one

[03:17:34] so it's looking like Navi do have those pick SK because they've lost the

[03:17:40] previous game should have had choice so she's right clearly the counter pick

[03:17:44] something that they value especially when you have a player like leader on the team, even wonder who

[03:17:48] have their eccentric picks, stuff that wants to see what they're playing up against before they decide.

[03:17:53] Akali is something that would always be mindful of the leader, both as Akali and as Aurelia,

[03:17:57] I kind of just, two of his most successful champions throughout his career and two of his

[03:18:02] favorites. That's why I'm kind of always surprised that they ban Ori because I feel like

[03:18:06] you would love an Ori into a Rally matchup. But they're all going to take it off the

[03:18:11] the board, Sion also going to be removed from main turret. I think we can confidently

[03:18:15] say he is just a tank player at this point, like I think the evidence speaks for itself.

[03:18:19] Jathen, Nautilus, Pantone being banned suggests all sorts of things really. It looks like they're

[03:18:24] thinking about 80 carries. And Jin would be surprised to see Locked in so early because

[03:18:29] you know he's just counterpicking with other tanks. Instead they're going to go

[03:18:31] for support Lock in Lulu on the board. Now, Lita we talk about his champion pool.

[03:18:38] sometimes what I want is champion pool. Mickey is no stranger to pike.

[03:18:45] That's what you're feeling? Hook champions into Lulu, I think are very good, but blind

[03:18:51] picking Lulu at first stand, teams look at it and go, oh yeah, there's what are you going to do,

[03:18:57] range supports, like Nami's gone, Bard's gone, Seraphine gone. This makes the most sense,

[03:19:02] right Lulu blind it's the it's the scariest thing but yeah mickey does like his hook champions so

[03:19:08] they're gonna deny the UNR away a mindful of thresh blitz and pike all possibilities and mickey we

[03:19:15] know plays those he's had a long history he's got a lot of champions but yoppa very young player

[03:19:21] so playing in lane with stuff like that can sometimes be very what and so instead we're gonna

[03:19:26] We're gonna go Janna!

[03:19:27] Mickey?

[03:19:28] Janna?

[03:19:29] What?

[03:19:30] If you're not on the mobile stream, you didn't see Vettias, he just did a full 180 and looked

[03:19:37] at the stage straight at Mickey.

[03:19:40] So like, Mickey, I've cast Mickey at the start of his career.

[03:19:45] He and I started at the same time, 2016-7, that's when we both joined the league, right?

[03:19:48] So I've cast pretty much every single one of Mickey's games.

[03:19:52] I think this is the first Janna game I've ever seen from Mickey.

[03:19:55] We can reject it.

[03:19:56] Yeah, production can check.

[03:19:58] I'm actually like, make sure we have that stat down.

[03:20:01] But just like, people joke about how like,

[03:20:04] I see EvaPlay pulling it up here with six Janna games.

[03:20:08] Six Janna games?

[03:20:09] Six Janna games with a 66% win rate.

[03:20:12] All right, fair enough.

[03:20:13] That's two losses.

[03:20:14] Fair enough, fair enough.

[03:20:15] Okay.

[03:20:16] And was it, recently, it was spring 24.

[03:20:18] All right, well, clearly my memory is,

[03:20:20] I'm getting old, you're a voice in my head.

[03:20:22] You know, yeah, 2015, that was many years ago.

[03:20:25] Yeah, in my head, Mickey is not a melee engage player like you heard I was talking about pumpkin blitz

[03:20:30] That's who Mickey is to me. You're gonna be excited. This is like the opposite

[03:20:34] This is probably like the furthest away from that. It's possible. It absolutely is what Navi's decided to go full scaling

[03:20:40] They're gonna go with the Mundo plus the aphelios

[03:20:42] I think it makes a ton of sense when you've already got the Lulu in there

[03:20:45] They're engaged a little bit limited but similar to what we saw in the last game

[03:20:48] The whole composition is very much run at opponent

[03:20:52] And I would also say Mundo

[03:20:55] generally good to CC right so he can block one of the knockout tornado is not

[03:21:01] gonna do much yet but she has three of them right she's got the slow from a

[03:21:04] W the knockout from the tornado and the ultimate as well on top of the shield

[03:21:07] that she does provide so you can't block them all so I think Jana is just I

[03:21:12] mean it's one of the best peeling champions objectively in the game

[03:21:16] like yeah she basically has a reset against the opposite of the hook

[03:21:20] champions. She wants to come here, she's like nah, stay away, stay on that side. And I gotta

[03:21:26] say these fights have a chance of going very long. Mundo just big helpers, the Lulu shielding

[03:21:33] and wild growth. Janna heals, shields, knock ups. Zahen with the passive, like these first

[03:21:40] champions, logging in for both of these, it's just hyper carry, enchanter support

[03:21:44] and like unkillable jungler. I'm gonna start warming up. You know I've had a

[03:21:48] a couple of warm-ups already for the vocal chords, but I'm gonna get prepared for a long

[03:21:52] drawdown of T-fights because I feel like that's gonna be the name of the game here as a zero

[03:21:56] York band off and there's the Akali band that you're talking about.

[03:21:59] Give respect to the leader.

[03:22:00] I'm kind of surprised that's now the band Akali.

[03:22:03] I feel like Akali hates playing to Lulu.

[03:22:07] The whimsy is just so good and every time Akali gets in range and executing someone

[03:22:13] with an ult, Lulu ult then says no, you will not be given an opportunity.

[03:22:17] I feel like the Akali ban I mean it's very much out of respect for leader. I do not think leader will go for range event

[03:24:47] And we are back. You should be hearing us again now everybody. Thank you for sticking with us through more technical difficulties

[03:25:05] But we should be hopping back into champion select any moment now

[03:25:08] I believe where we were last at was the anivia locked in which me and vedius

[03:25:12] Just spent the last five minutes talking about we had some great points. We did their bettias Wow

[03:25:17] You guys will never hear that. I do know that just like the greatest song that was ever written

[03:25:22] Mm-hmm. We can only check black wrote that only pay homage. Yes the points

[03:25:29] Yeah, but we can try to be there so we can we can give a tribute yeah, we thought we can that we can

[03:25:35] So as we'll get the picks up on screen again here shortly

[03:25:39] Just reminder that it's the focus so far for both team cons is heavy team fight

[03:25:43] It's gonna be junglers that are hard to kill and change their support's hyper carries and then again a Nivea for leader

[03:25:49] And I just I feel like Navi's running out of picks that can kind of answer this energy

[03:25:54] I'm wondering what like what do you put a pobion at well before we get there

[03:25:59] I mean to update the audience at home. So the the outages affected the draft

[03:26:04] So right now the players are remaking the draft the picks and the bands will remain the same

[03:26:10] What you guys will get back on your screen

[03:26:13] will be when the Anivia was locked in and then we will continue from that.

[03:26:19] So right now we're just kind of waiting for that.

[03:26:21] I'm also trying to get back into the climb, but I can't so I'm just going to give up on that.

[03:26:27] In the meantime, what I'd love to do is pull up Poby's champion pool so far.

[03:26:32] What Poby has played because I'm thinking like maybe a Syndra if you want to be able to find an Anivia.

[03:26:39] to get a pick. I mean Azir is probably the thing that is most likely to win. Azir was banned

[03:26:42] already. Azir plus the Urech is the last two bans. That's a good shout. Yeah. That into

[03:26:50] a Nivea, I mean you could... No Casio's gonna suck later. It's tough to know right? You're

[03:26:56] probably right with the Syndra, but like Syndra and the Janna is horrible. It's hard

[03:27:02] to land the Scatter of the Week just because of the range Janna can play with, but

[03:27:06] My thought is, if you land one scout of the week, maybe that's what sets up the big execution.

[03:27:14] I don't know, I don't think they'll do it, but I'm also thinking if Yone might also be decent.

[03:27:18] Because the thing that they have right now is like, there's no real way for SK to play on side.

[03:27:25] Their whole comp is about grouping. They kind of have to play around neutral objectives.

[03:27:29] So champion like Yone could really shake up the draft, because normally does he have a great scaling,

[03:27:34] But he just has this massive side lane threat that Anivia can't deal with.

[03:27:37] Yeah.

[03:27:37] If you're ever alone there, it's a bad idea to deal with.

[03:27:39] Exactly.

[03:27:40] So the Anivia would just run the Anivia down.

[03:27:41] And also, it's all while and good, you're setting up a wall.

[03:27:45] But I can use my Q. I can ult.

[03:27:47] There are things to get out to the backline.

[03:27:49] I can maybe force your Janna ult out early.

[03:27:51] I can maybe make the Anivia really uncomfortable,

[03:27:53] get it to use a CC on me and stuff,

[03:27:55] and then try and snap back.

[03:27:57] I think Anivia could be pretty interesting.

[03:28:00] OK.

[03:28:01] You're selling me on it, Betty.

[03:28:02] So I'm getting excited.

[03:28:03] I want to update because I'm hearing this from production as coaches are giving fist bumps on stage

[03:28:06] So it looks like we have finished up the champ select. Hopefully we'll be able to see that

[03:28:12] cool, but

[03:28:14] I'm hearing that this is leaders first anivia career

[03:28:17] He played his first Orianna career game yesterday, and now he's on his first anivia career game

[03:28:24] This guy is beating the allegations. I'm gonna say it right now. Everyone was like his champ pools weird

[03:28:29] He only plays the melees the wacky stuff

[03:28:34] The argument is not he only plays okay the argument he's only good

[03:28:42] Cuz he's he's played like 14 a zeer games in his career, but his a zeer win rate is 42 percent

[03:28:48] Okay, in contrast to his yone, which is like 64 percent. Hmm. And so like that's the thing

[03:28:53] He's he's I think the discussion has never been

[03:28:56] Mechanically is he good enough to play at the LEC? Yeah

[03:28:59] I think the conversation has always been he comes across as quite stubborn in his approach to draft and then he wants to play his champions

[03:29:06] And if he doesn't get his champions then he doesn't look as good when he's not playing his champs

[03:29:11] Sure, and so then people feel like that you can just target banning you can limit his pool

[03:29:15] You can make it much harder for him to actually have impact in the game because not only can you ban out leader champions

[03:29:20] You can then also draft around them and in fearless the argument was it was going to be even harder for him

[03:29:25] Yeah, because once you've played Yasuo you now can't play Yasuo again

[03:29:29] So I don't know where is that or silence or whatever it is. So the question will be

[03:29:33] Similar to what it was yesterday and like I I didn't love his already honors the truth

[03:29:37] Like yeah, I was waiting to see the nocturne Orianna combo and for the first like 20 minutes or so of the game

[03:29:43] He just didn't do I don't think I'm pretty sure we never saw and a

[03:29:48] Successfully executed one because the one time that they pulled it off. It was flashed right so like they were

[03:29:52] I don't think they ever actually hit the combo. I think I'd like during the game

[03:29:56] like I think they hate it once or twice. Like I won't speak on how confident I am in that,

[03:30:01] but the question is always going to be how good does he look on stuff that isn't assassins,

[03:30:07] which is why him playing Anivia, the question is very much going to be how good does he look

[03:30:11] and how much of an impact can he have. So what I'm hearing then, Various, because I've heard

[03:30:15] this conversation said before, like typically, I think maybe in recent years it's not as

[03:30:18] big of a conversation, but typically the team that wins the world is just the best at that

[03:30:22] meta so am I hearing them that if if that's the meta that leaders gonna win

[03:30:26] worlds it's like Zed Yasuo meta. Well while you contemplate that I'm gonna

[03:30:31] read that the draft has been completed offline we are going into this game

[03:30:35] with the completed draft so we are in for a surprise just like you all are and

[03:30:40] we'll talk about the draft from beginning to end. I'm excited. I'm excited.

[03:30:44] The voice of my head said they're gonna show the draft I think you just get

[03:30:47] drop us in the game. Honestly, I'm down to just be shocked. Yeah, I'm ready to. I'm really

[03:30:52] hoping that the last three leaders are just crazy. This has now been quite a long series.

[03:30:58] So in game two, when we had the outages, it didn't affect the players. They kept playing.

[03:31:02] Yeah. But it's been like it was still a 40 minute game, 40 plus minutes. So now they're

[03:31:09] going into game three. It is a it's going to go on a while. So yeah, it's been

[03:31:14] a long day so far for the plays. We still have another series to go remember. Yeah we

[03:31:19] got more League of Legends ahead of us. I feel like opening weekend has blessed us. We've

[03:31:24] had almost all three games in series. Depends on your perspective. Well do you like League

[03:31:28] of Legends Medias? It's more like that. What's going on with the LEC casters? I come in

[03:31:33] for a couple of weekends everyone's like ah more league for me. You don't understand

[03:31:39] for my POV. I just came back from first time. My jet lag is pretty much a beat at this point,

[03:31:47] but I mean it's always a pleasure to watch the second best region of the world of course.

[03:31:50] Oh of course, that's why I felt honored to come. And SKM Navi gave us a very exciting game too.

[03:31:57] So we get to see the draft. I hope everyone at home can also see the draft.

[03:32:01] We're seeing it right there on screen. They're going fast thankfully because they did it

[03:32:06] Offline already just to make sure we got through it. That's what we heard from the voices in her head

[03:32:10] Yes, that's like to say you just never you never name drop the the producers. No

[03:32:14] Well, they might not like that name out on the play let me check wasn't that it so he's gonna ask if you guys

[03:32:21] It's a fun name too because yeah, it's cool

[03:32:25] All right, there we go. Thank you Finn. It's gonna be confusing for everybody

[03:32:28] Is that yeah now I because now we've also got analysts Finn as well

[03:32:31] I know but that makes it exciting because the people can think like wait did Finn become your definition of

[03:32:36] Exciting is very different to mine.

[03:32:38] Well, yeah.

[03:32:39] I think we're learning that we have some differences.

[03:32:41] Not many, actually.

[03:32:42] We have many similarities, too, but.

[03:32:44] Yeah, we're also learning the biggest differences

[03:32:46] in the skill gap of our rebound skills.

[03:32:48] Oh, a burn.

[03:32:50] He is currently beating me in our game that we're playing.

[03:32:53] But here we go.

[03:32:54] OK.

[03:32:54] So let's catch up.

[03:32:55] It's Victor.

[03:32:55] Of course it's Victor.

[03:32:56] Oh, yeah.

[03:32:57] Why did that not immediately come to my mind?

[03:32:58] It took us so long.

[03:33:00] Behind the Yone Epa and the Yone Lock-in.

[03:33:03] So I was right.

[03:33:04] Oh!

[03:33:04] But for the wrong reason, it's a Nivea Top.

[03:33:08] He's actually playing a Nivea Top.

[03:33:10] I'm going to go out on a limb and actually get the ball.

[03:33:13] So my hands are just playing a Nivea Top.

[03:33:14] This is also Wander's first Nivea Top.

[03:33:16] So funny enough, this is crazy.

[03:33:19] So you know how I was shocked by the Jana support

[03:33:21] to the Niki?

[03:33:22] I'm not actually shocked by our Nivea Top

[03:33:25] because we saw this last year from Nuck Nucko.

[03:33:28] He was playing this as well.

[03:33:30] I think he was the only person in our league

[03:33:32] playing a Nivea Top.

[03:33:33] I don't think anyone else was.

[03:33:34] But this was a thing last year, 2025.

[03:33:36] I think it was LPL that popularized it.

[03:33:41] And we're hearing from our stats guy, Molecule,

[03:33:43] that one of his alchemy playing this in solo queue.

[03:33:45] Yeah, so I think it's actually very good into Renekton.

[03:33:48] Early on, I don't think it does anything.

[03:33:51] But I think that once you get to level six,

[03:33:53] I think Renekton really is very, very sad.

[03:33:55] I think the way that they flipped this around,

[03:33:57] but again, so what you're seeing is super interesting

[03:34:00] because this is the environment that Mickey talks about

[03:34:03] when he says he wanted to create a pro player environment

[03:34:06] where people could just kind of express themselves

[03:34:08] and play the way that they think they want to be able to play.

[03:34:11] And Yone is very leader, like as we were talking about, right?

[03:34:15] Like, he's been known as a player

[03:34:16] that wants to play his champions.

[03:34:18] And so the expectation was that Enivio

[03:34:20] was gonna go into the mid lane.

[03:34:21] It caught Navi now completely off guard.

[03:34:23] They blind picked the renecter

[03:34:24] because they think he's a safe blind.

[03:34:25] And then they pivot, send the Enivio top,

[03:34:28] and I think Yone is a good answer into Victor

[03:34:30] for the same reasons that Yone

[03:34:31] is a good answer into Victor.

[03:34:32] Because in a side lane, Victor just can't deal with it.

[03:34:36] Whether it's the Anivia or the Victor either way,

[03:34:38] you're feeling solid as the Yone.

[03:34:41] And SK's composition looking very exciting.

[03:34:44] Game number three, Navi versus SK.

[03:34:46] Winner takes all here.

[03:34:48] And Leader, actually, going to be in a bit of a 1v2 situation.

[03:34:52] Will the Q land for Merlech?

[03:34:53] No, he's not even going to go for it, actually.

[03:34:55] Leader sees him.

[03:34:56] He's got the ward in the brush.

[03:34:58] He's going to be essentially playing.

[03:34:59] It looks like that, I want to say,

[03:35:01] I mean, Reletch wants to invade.

[03:35:03] Ooh, but look at the adaptation from Skeens.

[03:35:05] He's reading the play. He sees it.

[03:35:07] And here comes the collapse from Mickey as well.

[03:35:09] Mickey and Yop are gonna punish Reletch for the attempt.

[03:35:12] He drops down the ward, will flash over the dragon pit wall,

[03:35:15] and do the walk of shame back to his own jungle,

[03:35:18] falling behind in the jungle clear.

[03:35:20] Yeah, so that ward from Lita did a lot of work there.

[03:35:23] Because not only does it spot out Reletch, Reletch,

[03:35:25] I don't know if Reletch knew that he was standing on a ward.

[03:35:27] I'm gonna assume that he didn't.

[03:35:29] not because leader can kind of walk him back in range also we can see that the

[03:35:33] ward wasn't pinged out either yeah so because of that they they had no idea

[03:35:36] that he was on a ward and so schemes that has the information if he's sitting

[03:35:40] here in the river that he has to be going to evade my rafters so he then

[03:35:44] passed down he's in a position to challenge recognize the raptors weren't

[03:35:48] started which means he has to be on red which means that he's then able to

[03:35:52] work with his bot lane to them challenge and contested the problem

[03:35:55] is the bot lane then get zoned away from farm because they moved up to

[03:35:58] trying out and so now that conceding in the push they're a little bit behind

[03:36:02] Lita's taking a lot of damage in the mid then kind of what we expected in the

[03:36:05] early gaming phase just because Victor is actually a very oppressive lane bully.

[03:36:08] I love the Victor taking the awry into these melee matchups too because just

[03:36:12] your autos are gonna start doing so much damage as well and despite the fact

[03:36:17] that Ralech had to flash over the wall he's actually farming a little bit

[03:36:21] faster than Skeen so we went from Raptors to Krugs to camp and I'm

[03:36:24] more to the top side so scheme is actually a little behind on the timer here

[03:36:30] interesting to see but the the pan thing will mean that is left to spawn soon

[03:36:34] there so in theory he can clear out his top side go for top crab I was wrong by

[03:36:41] the way top matchup I thought would suck early for anivia very good for anivia

[03:36:45] it's gotta grow we got solo queue stats from our team behind the scenes I

[03:36:51] don't know I'm assuming that from molecule yep but one doesn't give you

[03:36:54] top solo queue 25 games 14 wins 11 losses 2.2 KDA is average cold dip at 15

[03:37:00] 1293 that's pretty odd that's his average that's that's with 11 losses too

[03:37:08] I think the average would not be that high as Skeens finds a reletche no flash

[03:37:12] he smites away the scuttle crab but Skeens winning the one who won so far

[03:37:16] Poby walking up to make it an unfair fight flash from Skeens over the

[03:37:19] Gravity well gets first blood under Ralech as Poby knocked up by leader has the flash available will flash back to the turret

[03:37:27] Skeens has the revived does not land a dreaded return

[03:37:31] We'll go back into the passive resurrection and walk out with first blood. Okay. I mean

[03:37:37] Really nice adaptation from start to finish

[03:37:40] From S from Skeens everything these just done the fact that he just did his passing to be on the both side of the map

[03:37:45] The fact that he took the Raptors first ready expecting a full clear

[03:37:49] The TP then cuts you across is a very slow TP skins doesn't have a smite available to contest

[03:37:53] So even though he's a level down

[03:37:54] He knows that there's no flash available the gravity field looks great from Poby

[03:37:59] But a flash from schemes allows him to get over it and they came super close to actually getting this kill

[03:38:04] But schemes cooldowns very long in the other game. He doesn't really have anything left

[03:38:07] He also doesn't want to be stuck underneath the tower when his passive gets box because there's a risk that probably could actually outplay

[03:38:13] So, really awesome stuff from SK here in the other game.

[03:38:17] Hasn't really resulted in a significant gold lead, really, either way.

[03:38:21] But still, a nice advantage game from SK.

[03:38:24] Yeah, first blood over to the, the hen feels fantastic.

[03:38:27] Leader also, meanwhile, was able to kind of equalize the lane,

[03:38:30] because he TP's back to lane and is about even in CS clear.

[03:38:34] Top lane, Mainter was able to get the wave shove.

[03:38:36] You can see exactly how the trade happened, but wonder very low on health.

[03:38:39] He'll have to go for his first reset, TP back to lane, which is the tier.

[03:38:42] Well, Renekton does have sustain, both thanks to his Q, and on top of that, Enivia only has so much health.

[03:38:50] So once the mana's gone, you're just kind of, well, you're susceptible to Renekton all in.

[03:38:55] So that's probably what happened. He's still in a very comfortable spot though.

[03:38:58] We'll see if he can build the sort of solo Q leads that he's able to build in the early game.

[03:39:02] His scheme's also a fantastic start. Has no clear of his bot side, pathing back up towards top.

[03:39:07] He's a little bit behind in camps, but still in a good spot.

[03:39:11] I was able to hopefully not have those main issues anymore once pick up that

[03:39:15] tier didn't quite have enough for the ages but can be building towards Rotom ages

[03:39:20] I imagine based on the Ruby Crystal plus did miss a campfire

[03:39:24] oh mine is gonna help that one but yeah that's gonna hurt the

[03:39:29] 1,293 going average he's gonna be like 1,233 yeah a good fast math there

[03:39:34] that's nice yeah so this is the plot of the matchup where it gets super

[03:39:38] I

[03:39:40] Immediately drops down the arcane storm on the leader. Oh, he's got to run away though cuz schemes is nearby

[03:39:45] He'll just clear the wave and back off

[03:39:48] So open it used not to much effect

[03:39:51] But now he will immediately send relich down toward the dragon and they have their bot lane there as well

[03:39:57] Thanks to kill you're sitting around. He just flashes in fate shield knock up on the poby schemes there as well

[03:40:03] But Paris keep in his mid laner safe

[03:40:05] So leader not able to find the kill he thought he had the damage, but Lulu shielding's too much

[03:40:11] So I thought that Yone did basically zero damage there, but what I failed to recognize

[03:40:17] Poby Q shield

[03:40:19] Lulu E shield and then Lulu heal on top of that as well

[03:40:24] So that's all the things that they actually went through which is why it looked like Poby's HP didn't really move

[03:40:29] Yep

[03:40:30] But close to a kill nice idea nice

[03:40:33] I guess punish in a sense? It literally hasn't based though. Alright, that's a little risky now.

[03:40:39] Yeah, I mean one few auto from Poby could be enough right there, so leader's gonna have to...

[03:40:45] I don't know why he's sticking around. Really? Yeah, the wave's pushing away from him.

[03:40:50] I think he wants to... He wanted XP. He wanted level 7, that's why.

[03:40:53] That's what he's thinking. If he got level 7, maybe he could do something.

[03:40:55] But now the wave is still pushing away from him. He needs his jungle to help him fix it.

[03:40:59] but his jungle account of four to fix it because R'alach is threatening an invade because R'alach recognizes enemy mid still hasn't faced.

[03:41:06] So, yeah, I think Leda really needed to look for an opportunity to go back to base earlier because it's kind of nesting the skins a little bit now.

[03:41:13] The skins just go, ooh, Mainter is going to be all in here onto Wunder, flashed early there trying to slow down Mainter.

[03:41:19] It does not have the wall anymore, but Mainter just can't get through that Anivia ulti.

[03:41:24] Such an annoying matchup for Renekton to deal with.

[03:41:27] early moat trades I think makes a ton of sense though, is helping him out. He is

[03:41:32] gonna come back to base, oh no he's gonna push out another wave, Enivia doesn't

[03:41:35] have a TP available, and now that one that has a little bit more HP thanks to

[03:41:40] the catalyst, he should feel a little bit more comfortable in this matchup. I

[03:41:44] wonder if he'll go for early armor boots. I felt like it would really help him

[03:41:47] against the Renekton, but at the same time, doesn't make sense. You know the

[03:41:51] other thing I was thinking about, well I didn't get a chance to say it, in the

[03:41:55] old days you'd swap Renec to mid and you'd put Fick to talk into the

[03:42:00] Anivia that's what that's what you do back in the day back in my day back in

[03:42:04] your day but now there's a bowl press so you can't do that anymore yeah you just

[03:42:08] you don't allow it yeah that's changed a lot of matchups counter picks are real

[03:42:13] now as another Arcane form will go down here clearing the wave and getting some damage on the leader but it means that

[03:42:19] these like hard counter picks you can't just dodge them by moving around on the

[03:42:22] map because you're gonna put your your quest behind so much all right well

[03:42:29] taking state of taking stock with the state of the game right now grubs are

[03:42:32] available where let's just fishing met his leader continues to lose HP yeah he's

[03:42:36] so low he has a faith seal we'll go in for big damage on the poby but he does

[03:42:40] not have the back of the skins because relaunch is playing bodyguard just a

[03:42:44] trade of health bar leader did heavily chunk down poby but remember poby was

[03:42:48] Full HP. Athlete was like 30% because of the ball lane, and nice knockup on the San Di right there.

[03:42:55] Yoppa jumping away, has used the Transcend oneself.

[03:42:59] Marker ruined onto the wave just to clear it out, so no one's gonna go down on the bot side.

[03:43:04] Oh, wait, that's a TP from Leader straight into the gravity field, and Ralech on top of him.

[03:43:09] Poby stuck around because his jungler was nearby, so Lombatin will go right back into the waiting arms of Ralech.

[03:43:15] Skeens is now here to pull him back, will lose his mid laner, but if Skeens can trade it, it could be worth.

[03:43:21] Ralech gets the kill, Skeens does not go under the turret, it is just a kill for Navi.

[03:43:26] I mean that was just a terrible TP, that was a really bad choice by Lida.

[03:43:31] There was no need to TP to the wave, he completely disrespected the possibility of a jungler being there,

[03:43:36] and Navi happy to pick up that kill, especially with how the trades have been going in favor of Lida.

[03:43:42] Normally blade is when it gets really really bad for the long view once, but you can already see that leader it comes close to basically

[03:43:49] 100 to 0 the victor

[03:43:51] Even at this point because no armor has been picked up by Poby the

[03:43:56] I forget

[03:43:58] You know the plates you get a bump like well on fighting that's what it seems is life earlier

[03:44:03] Yeah, so bone-blading is super effective against I don't a specifically

[03:44:06] And basically the leader as long as he plays around that like Foxy with a cheat and Q or something

[03:44:12] And then then he knows he has the potential for the all-in

[03:44:14] Hey, there's not even like health picked up on Poby right now. So yeah, it's a very squishy

[03:44:19] But yeah, so getting this advantage getting this kill pretty helpful for Poby

[03:44:22] I mean doesn't get the kill obviously, but he's got it enough for lead now that the lost chapter completed

[03:44:26] He should feel a little bit more comfortable nature looking for that

[03:44:29] I just get slaved. We'll take one turret shot. Yeah, I don't think there's enough mana

[03:44:32] I'm wondering if there as leader now going in has

[03:44:35] To deal with Paris as well as Poby again the gravity field for the sole on bound

[03:44:40] He's gonna get stunned up there. Oh when ice gets the cue out of there

[03:44:44] Mortal still back to safety so

[03:44:46] Supports Roman in to help out their midlaners and Poby taking the better of it as leaders gonna have to go for another reset

[03:44:52] He should have life steal at this point though. So that'll help him a ton

[03:44:58] the life still in conjunction with the

[03:45:00] The Fleet Footwork will do a lot to help support him as a dragon, second of the game now spawns

[03:45:06] and help him position himself in the Relatch.

[03:45:07] I love how Relatch is leveraging the mid lane matchup specifically to know that it's very

[03:45:13] difficult for SK to contest this.

[03:45:15] Yone is just weak this early on into the game, and it's not like Fift is a monster or

[03:45:19] anything, but his ability to get this mid wave control makes it so much easier for

[03:45:24] Relatch knowing that with the bot prior that he also has, they can comfortably

[03:45:27] secure him.

[03:45:28] Wonder was never able to get it back off here.

[03:45:30] Main tour gets the passive, so we have an idiot egg,

[03:45:34] but Skeens is in the neighborhood,

[03:45:36] and now Main tour is gonna have to try and get out of here.

[03:45:38] He has Slyce, he's gonna try and dice over,

[03:45:40] and then maybe Flash, the knockup still lands from Skeens,

[03:45:42] but the dread of return will not.

[03:45:44] He goes forward with the ultimate

[03:45:46] and finds the kill, flashing for it.

[03:45:48] SK will get a kill for Skeens as Yoppa jumping away.

[03:45:51] Flash followed from Rilech as Yoppa flashes the wall.

[03:45:55] He's kind of a no-man's land right now.

[03:45:57] On the wrong side of the rift, Rilech can just continue to chase.

[03:46:01] Yoppa has no backup.

[03:46:03] There's a TP from Wunder if maybe he can get a ward down,

[03:46:06] but instead he's just going to look for the execute.

[03:46:08] Can Rilech land a Q with a cleaver?

[03:46:11] No, it's just a smite.

[03:46:12] That's easier to land, and that is a kill for Rilech.

[03:46:15] So the reason why this mega sucks for Yoppa

[03:46:19] is because not only did he die, which obviously sucks.

[03:46:23] That sucks.

[03:46:24] But he lost like three waves, Bart, I think, because he got zoned away by two, because his jungler was ganking top.

[03:46:32] And then he gets zoned away by a third one, because while he's running, a whole other wave is made it to a Bart.

[03:46:38] And Sandeep clears it all out. There is a 30 CS difference between the two AD carries.

[03:46:42] And it is simply because of Skeen's presence and appearance up towards the topside.

[03:46:46] Yeah, and also just Ralech always being in the right place at the right time.

[03:46:50] the dragon shuts down Yapa in that bottom lane and we go back to how this game started.

[03:46:56] I did not think that Reledge would be this far ahead and clear as well.

[03:46:59] Let's get another look at what happens.

[03:47:01] Stop.

[03:47:02] His main tier spends a lot of his health bar just to get the passive of the game.

[03:47:05] Yeah.

[03:47:06] I mean, his goal here is to- Oh, Peter almost died.

[03:47:09] Is it the scorch?

[03:47:10] Is the kill?

[03:47:11] No.

[03:47:12] Fortunately, there's not a lot of breakdown here in this replay.

[03:47:14] Skeens kind of has to commit his flash because he just fumbles so he doesn't

[03:47:17] connect the pullback.

[03:47:18] And then you'll see him, he's isolated away from the tower already.

[03:47:21] Reletched is the smart thing of just pathing bot. Threatening the possibility of a dive.

[03:47:27] Yeah, and then it all goes pear-shaped.

[03:47:30] Yep, he can't even get the execute either, just...

[03:47:34] The good news to Wanda is he gets more gold because he gets to hit the top tower.

[03:47:38] True.

[03:47:39] But, yeah, SamD now is what we would define as a problem.

[03:47:43] because he has the storm raises finished and this is a failure is is

[03:47:49] quite far ahead yeah I went to the problem club they had a picture of

[03:47:55] the son somebody up there president president of the problem club the gold

[03:48:00] is a little bit inflated just because your past and finished his world

[03:48:05] question but yeah I mean Lulu Athalios is you're strong, good job. Yeah I mean

[03:48:13] either Andy or I'm both not finishing it. Officially lane swapped here, Lita now

[03:48:17] still losing the 1v1 versus Poby. The victor heavily punishing the range

[03:48:23] advantage and that is ultimate to safety. Generally you want that to go

[03:48:27] towards the enemy, not away. So the thing is like the victors just he's not weak

[03:48:33] Like he's a good laner like this champion. He's not long cooldowns, but especially when you get level 9

[03:48:38] I mean he's level 11, so he's got 3 points in his Q, 5 points in his E

[03:48:42] Like he can trade. He's happy to go back and forth, and I think he may have even had his

[03:48:47] It's ambitious to say he's got a second upgrade already

[03:48:50] I mean he's definitely got his E upgrade, but I've been keeping track if he's actually at the second board

[03:48:54] I mean this would be a pretty fast one, but he was part of one kill and if he was just hitting all the cannons

[03:48:59] Yeah, I wouldn't surprise me actually with 146 CS.

[03:49:03] I play some Victor, but it might surprise you, I'm a little behind the typical for our upgrade.

[03:49:09] The zombie big trade on the Yappa, not enough damage to kill him.

[03:49:14] But in this case, ADC is going to have to go for another reset here as leader.

[03:49:18] He'd be back in the lane and still stunned up by Poby.

[03:49:21] No ultimate available this time around as Poby will get the flash out instead, and it's just the same story.

[03:49:28] From 30 seconds ago radio flash for a plate. I don't I don't know if I agree with that

[03:49:34] Well, I mean Poby is kind of making fun of leader right now

[03:49:37] He's been so put behind securing that blade of the rink. He normally at this point in the game

[03:49:41] I would argue you should have it by now

[03:49:43] But yeah, he is yeah, he's behind the he's behind the clock. Absolutely and and Poby's

[03:49:49] Very comfortable as much as a full level of the leader now

[03:49:53] Leader is very reliant on like when he gets blade. I think he still just wins

[03:49:56] Go for it, get a face check for Lech.

[03:49:58] It's a B cleaver, and a slow and a heart-skilled rock.

[03:50:02] Big damage from just the tank.

[03:50:04] B special to me, he goes away, and the leader again stays in the gravity field.

[03:50:09] Thies in the 1v1, Poby just crushing this match up.

[03:50:13] Wonder Mean Wall finds himself in a 1v1.

[03:50:15] Matrix popped the ultimate, but Skeen's coming in for backup.

[03:50:17] Major will just walk up to hit the wave.

[03:50:19] It has Relechian and his back pocket as well.

[03:50:21] So not a lot to be done about this top lane.

[03:50:25] SK will just lose their mid laner bot side and find nothing else.

[03:50:28] The thing is conversations about the draft don't really matter anymore because leaders just lose it.

[03:50:32] Yeah, like it's just like, it's not a good look when you go bot lane three times,

[03:50:39] you lose the trade. The first loss of the trade is fine. I'm willing to give you that, right?

[03:50:44] Victor, not that weak, especially like if he's able to land absolutely everything on you,

[03:50:48] fine. You come back, you then lose your flash for a plate. Yep. And then you go back a third

[03:50:53] time and you die he still doesn't have blade of the rune king now just finished

[03:50:58] him i mean yeah it's uh who insane hexic alternates and i picked up a

[03:51:04] poby the thing is i don't know if the i don't know if yone is so op that would

[03:51:09] just play it alone you know something once this matchup i couldn't tell you

[03:51:12] but i would be surprised i would also be surprised no that's the dragon i think

[03:51:15] the sk is not strong enough to contest this especially a zombie having

[03:51:18] red white on a felio this would be a miracle play for sk to win it

[03:51:23] Wunder doesn't have TP. I mean he's walking down here in SK's positioning like they maybe want to take this.

[03:51:28] Teleport is available for Maintra and Wunder is making a trek all the way down.

[03:51:32] Skins can't find the drone to return already down to half health.

[03:51:34] We'll go for the drone to lever and quick damage.

[03:51:36] And then he steals away the dragon!

[03:51:38] We'll give his life for it but objective denied.

[03:51:41] Yeah, they get the TP out from Maintra as well.

[03:51:46] Wunder decided to roam down. He's gonna catch that midway but...

[03:51:49] Okay, so escape by themselves a little bit more time steaming away that objective

[03:51:53] I was kind of waiting to see the Jenna ultimate

[03:51:55] But I guess Mickey didn't really see a good angle to do it

[03:51:57] There's a world like maybe he could flash in and then alt to try and create space for his jungler

[03:52:02] But I guess they just made the goal. You know what, let's not risk it. Yeah, let's not risk it

[03:52:05] Let's instead just get the dragon get out. Maitre will catch wonder trying to hit the wave

[03:52:10] I mean at this point yeah, when you're the renekton, you're just like I know that if I stand too far away from you

[03:52:16] You're just gonna chunk me. I can't stand on the wave

[03:52:18] So just go in for it. But yeah, let's take another look at this replay here.

[03:52:20] So now they flash from Poby, he kinda has to do it.

[03:52:23] Group deliver, it connects up to Polly, he gets a turn to HP back.

[03:52:26] Then Polly falls into the ground to heal.

[03:52:27] Oh, and we see live Poby roams up here.

[03:52:31] Main turret, plus his mid laner will definitely have enough damage to get through that Anivia.

[03:52:36] And also, Mickey dies in the top jungle, Na'Vi finds two, and we'll get a turret.

[03:52:42] I mean, this is just kind of disappointing to see for SK, because I felt like in game one,

[03:52:47] They showed up. I feel like all of the players were really locked in and they were having a good performance.

[03:52:51] Game 2, they fought back. They punished the mistakes from Navi. Even though they didn't end up winning that game, at the very least, they showed something.

[03:53:01] They hit him in Game 3, they just lose it.

[03:53:04] Yeah, and Leader, okay, he's actually scaring Mainter away a little bit.

[03:53:07] It's a play to the rookie Yone. I mean, it's a thing. Yeah.

[03:53:12] That did a lot more damage than I was expecting. I will give you that as Poby hit that turret.

[03:53:16] They're gonna go for the TP and Mainter will cancel it.

[03:53:20] So now, Polymorph on the scheme,

[03:53:22] so he's gotta bring the liver as a back away,

[03:53:25] as well as Flash.

[03:53:26] SK do not have their ultimate available on the Zahem,

[03:53:29] and Navi can just take these jungle camps away.

[03:53:32] Well, that's actually hip on the wall,

[03:53:33] but he's fine, he can walk around.

[03:53:35] So I am criticizing SK a lot in this game,

[03:53:37] so that which shouldn't take away from the fact

[03:53:39] that Relech is really just running the ref right now.

[03:53:42] He is working Super Bowl with Paris.

[03:53:44] He spent a lot of his early game

[03:53:46] playing around the box side, Mickey gets caught on awards.

[03:53:49] I mean, he has his ult available.

[03:53:51] I guess he just saves it.

[03:53:53] Yeah, I guess he chooses to save it.

[03:53:54] I'm a little bit surprised he doesn't use it to get away

[03:53:56] to safety.

[03:53:56] Even doesn't commit the flash.

[03:53:57] I try that just so that him dying doesn't matter that much.

[03:54:00] But the little bit more gold over to Rilat,

[03:54:01] shoe dead man's playing now finished ahead.

[03:54:04] A little bit of extra speed on this one.

[03:54:06] No, he's level 13.

[03:54:07] And I've got to remind everybody that that was

[03:54:09] a disastrous start for Rilat.

[03:54:10] She went for the invade.

[03:54:12] Spotted out, had to flash early.

[03:54:14] And he's still put on this performance.

[03:54:16] Very impressive from the struggle here.

[03:54:17] Yeah, absolutely.

[03:54:18] And SamD still this massive threat.

[03:54:20] 229 farm at 20 minutes.

[03:54:22] He's well ahead of the clock.

[03:54:23] Infinity Edge already finished for him.

[03:54:26] And Manta, even though like Counter-Pick came through,

[03:54:28] while he's down 8 CS, he got a nice gank from Poby

[03:54:31] while we were talking chatting, as well.

[03:54:33] You did call it out earlier.

[03:54:34] So he's in a very comfortable spot.

[03:54:36] And SK quickly running out of options to turn this game around.

[03:54:39] And gold leads on all the E-targets.

[03:54:42] Kobe, it's SamD, both with 2.3 thousand gold advantages.

[03:54:47] That's hefty for the two carries of the team.

[03:54:49] And even the big frontline,

[03:54:51] the reletion being this far ahead means that

[03:54:53] it's gonna be so difficult for SK to get

[03:54:55] through the health bars.

[03:54:57] I mean, maybe like an insane Zahen engage,

[03:55:00] getting onto the back line,

[03:55:01] shutting down SamD and then having your passive.

[03:55:04] If Wander's able to control the approach

[03:55:06] of Main Tour on a flank or something like that,

[03:55:07] but I'm just not seeing enough damage right now,

[03:55:10] But it's never impossible and we're not gonna cast or curse anybody bettias right I believe

[03:55:16] That's not real cuz cast it cuz it's all real. Yeah, well Baron attempt is real here

[03:55:20] It will be spotted out now words drops down schemes takes some damage from the death laser of Poby

[03:55:25] Now we have it down to half health as SK will approach now nature takes a blast come into the flank

[03:55:30] It's not that Mickey gets onto schemes polymorph on chooses ahead and he just can't get the passive off-rim deliverance

[03:55:37] away again

[03:55:39] As SKR in full retreat mode, Maincher still has the flank angle right now.

[03:55:44] Navi will decide to back off and just clear the wave and look back at the Baron.

[03:55:48] That was a really good example of how limited Navi's engages.

[03:55:53] They kind of have to run at their opponent.

[03:55:55] And so, Janna provides a lot of value in her ability to create even more space

[03:56:00] and make it even harder for Navi to close that gap.

[03:56:03] Renekton on the flank looked pretty scary.

[03:56:05] Oh, that's kind of a knockup.

[03:56:07] But you can see how difficult it was into a Nivea, a Janna.

[03:56:11] And you're starting to see elements of how this composition is supposed to work.

[03:56:15] The problem for SK is just how far behind in gold they are right now.

[03:56:19] But if they get to close that gap, if they can keep stalling,

[03:56:22] you can see the idea behind how this comp is supposed to function from SK.

[03:56:26] I'm just confused as to what happened after SK.

[03:56:29] We're able to get multiple plates mid.

[03:56:31] They're controlling mid and bot wave.

[03:56:33] And now they are priority of Dragon.

[03:56:34] Despite the ideal spot, by the way.

[03:56:36] Yeah, this has been fantastic for SK.

[03:56:38] Navi are going to have to approach.

[03:56:39] Mainter still has a crank angle, but with no renexion ultimate,

[03:56:41] it's not going to be as scary.

[03:56:42] He still takes a blast, and he still gets on.

[03:56:44] Flash from Wunder as the leader goes in.

[03:56:46] Immediately, CC snaps back.

[03:56:49] Flash from Rulech, he's chasing him down.

[03:56:52] And once again, it's the jungler of Navi that is the boss.

[03:56:57] Mundo gets the shutdown.

[03:56:58] Skeens goes to the pass, but he steals another Dragon.

[03:57:01] SK! That's the second one they'll trade their jungler's life for if a Yapa is still alive, still healthy enough.

[03:57:08] Stunland's on the main turf. He's stuck in the Glacial Storm.

[03:57:12] Ralech has no ultimate available, but he does have the Heart-Sill-Stack damage.

[03:57:16] What is his passive? Yapa shut down. He tried to hold the line.

[03:57:20] But a double kill to Ralech. Seals the teamfight for Navi.

[03:57:24] That fight felt so hard for Navi to navigate, but they still managed to get four kills for zero.

[03:57:32] The blast cone from Mainter was absolutely perfect. It put him in just the right spot. Wanda had to flash immediately.

[03:57:41] And while they do lose the dragon, they're able to secure the van.

[03:57:45] And this time it should go down. No contest available. Let's get another look at that beautiful, fantastic blast cone.

[03:57:53] you straight on top of Mickey, he has to flash away. Now Yoppa doesn't get any peel.

[03:57:57] Leader's diving in by himself. Grim Deliverance gets used at the very end to just help fill

[03:58:03] up that passive of, uh, of schemes. He then comes back to life, secures the smite steal.

[03:58:09] But now he's saying we can still go for this fight. Maitre's doing such a good job of finding

[03:58:13] ways onto the back line. Good angle. Inside the dragon pit uses the eel over the wall.

[03:58:17] Comes close to dying, but if Dominus comes back off cooldown, and then one there gets chased down

[03:58:22] So it's a really interesting back and forth where I think if the gold was closer, you can see how SK's composition could have been thriving, but the gold gap is simply too big.

[03:58:32] And Rilech is simply too much of a meat shield for SK to break through.

[03:58:36] Yoppa could not get through Rilech and then Sambi hit a big one right there.

[03:58:41] Yoppa onto Mickey on the wonder and at this point with a 9.3 thousand gold lead, yes Nabi have lost two dragons in a row,

[03:58:50] But now with the Baron buff and this massive gold advantage, you have to imagine that they're going to start cracking this base.

[03:58:57] It's going to start with the tier two turret in the bottom side.

[03:58:59] They're going to push this wave.

[03:59:00] And Wunder does have a lot of wave clear as the Anivia, the Glacial Storm, is annoying to get through.

[03:59:04] But the Baron-powered minions with more magic resist will be hard to clear.

[03:59:08] They do go down fast.

[03:59:09] And actually, a big double stun from Wunder right there.

[03:59:12] From Deliverance onto Paris and Poby.

[03:59:14] They keep going forward as well with the slow.

[03:59:16] The tornado is not going to land.

[03:59:17] back in a land, but the frostbite will, Yopa damage on the Poby, he's still safe, he's

[03:59:22] into the stage, but a shut down for Yopa will finally go down, but now leaders in there are

[03:59:27] the main tier. Poby killed Yopa, but it's still good for SK in a 1 for 2 trade.

[03:59:32] I bought tower, I'm telling you, it's a scary place, it is a scary place for all

[03:59:37] pro teams to go. As SK, they show a glimmer of hope, a small opportunity, but the

[03:59:44] The tower still falls, they get a couple kills, they'll burn a couple flashes, taking out Samdi and Poby will give you some shutdown gold as well.

[03:59:51] It's Wunder, he sets it up with the Frostblade here, he throws up the wall.

[03:59:55] Oh, I mean the knockup from Nikki as well though.

[03:59:57] I mean the combination between Wunder and Nikki still going strong after all these years.

[04:00:02] They're able to find a nice play, ties a little bit of time.

[04:00:05] Joppa Goku is absolutely crazy here.

[04:00:07] That's over the wall, into melee range of Samdi who then gets one shot.

[04:00:11] He now has no way he can go because Mainz is on the flank.

[04:00:14] Lida tries to collapse on Mainz,

[04:00:16] but he's able to walk away to safety.

[04:00:18] So there's a thing of two for one.

[04:00:19] But both carries going down.

[04:00:21] It was the victor and it was the Afalios

[04:00:23] that had 2.3 thousand gold leads.

[04:00:24] Okay, we're back to life.

[04:00:25] They still have massive gold leads,

[04:00:27] but the fact that they're fallible,

[04:00:29] like they're killable, SK is able to find these ways

[04:00:32] to get onto them is why you can never count out SK.

[04:00:35] Last game, we were in a similar position

[04:00:38] and they somehow scraped together

[04:00:40] A couple of comeback fights. They have a lot more work to do, but it feels like you can just never count SK out.

[04:00:46] I mean, look at that red bolt, baron powerplay. Minus 1500 gold.

[04:00:51] So, ultimately, yeah, the gold leads are still there, but damage was done to the economy.

[04:00:58] And SK has been given a glimmer of hope.

[04:01:03] The GA, once I get some fesquins, he's gonna have a lot more backline threat.

[04:01:06] just just don't look at the levels okay if you just don't look at the levels see

[04:01:11] I hadn't until you mentioned that I'm realizing yeah yeah that's almost a

[04:01:16] level 17 Mundo yeah I feel like when you say don't look at the level it's kind

[04:01:20] of like you're telling me the opposite yeah but I was kind of hoping that you

[04:01:22] wouldn't do that I was kind of trying to give you advice oh okay yeah like in

[04:01:26] games when they're just like hey don't go in there mm-hmm yeah I see you know

[04:01:32] Alright, we're gonna have to work on that.

[04:01:34] I'm trying to fix that my whole life right now.

[04:01:37] I don't think we're getting through that in one week.

[04:01:39] But, Navi continue the Sieges. They will take another tier 2 turret in the mid lane this time around.

[04:01:44] So there's only inhibitor turrets.

[04:01:46] Woah, woah!

[04:01:47] As Main Turret, getting in on the Mickey, Navi in the jungle.

[04:01:50] But Main Turret's all along, the Wolf pushes away Rilech, and Yopa gets the kill.

[04:01:55] SK, find their pick.

[04:01:58] Is this a dragon contest for SK, or is this just a stall?

[04:02:02] Getting a pick ult to Manta is good.

[04:02:04] They still have the mickey ult. They still have all their ultimates.

[04:02:07] Leaders keep pings at the bottom side, so I guess they want to front the back.

[04:02:09] Skeens is already in the pit, but he doesn't have the whole team ready for it.

[04:02:12] Now Wunder and the up are joining, and Skeens is going in for the dragon,

[04:02:15] but he cannot get it this time!

[04:02:16] Relish will secure it as SK are now in a 4v4.

[04:02:21] Losing their jungler Navi will back away instead.

[04:02:24] Not pushing for more, they got what they came for.

[04:02:26] for that is sole point for Navi. See, I know there's like stigma against Kentex all. Yeah,

[04:02:33] I think it's good on like from tobaccos just because it makes you way more durable, right? Yeah.

[04:02:39] Now this looks like a pick on the Mickey. I thought Mickey was dead. Bro, I really thought he was

[04:02:43] dead. He doesn't even use his ult here. Instead, Maintra is isolated. You made a good call there

[04:02:48] with the wall recognition. Wonder throwing that down made me hard for the rest of Navi to

[04:02:52] follow up. But it ends up being a 50-50. Skins kind of tracked in the pit. He doesn't

[04:02:56] have any HP. I think there's a world where maybe Miki could have just altered earlier to give him more HP.

[04:03:00] He also had the group deliverance. I feel like in this situation, SK kind of need to commit to the fight a little bit more.

[04:03:06] But the downside of this composition is their engage also isn't really that strong either.

[04:03:10] It's kind of just two teams looking at each other and kind of hitting one another.

[04:03:13] It's almost leader. Like, you kind of need the yone to find a big engage.

[04:03:17] Yeah. Well, leader is very weak right now. He is about to take over the level 16, which would be nice for him.

[04:03:23] But he's still weighs away, I think from that infinity edge

[04:03:27] But Yoppa again like he is kind of the man I am watching once more

[04:03:33] 3 items complete, Andi and Ara, this is a big moment for Andi and Ara

[04:03:37] Oh, I have to find another stun out of Sondi this time around plus the fade seal

[04:03:40] But they just don't have the damage to get through the wild growth, Lulu keeping Sondi alive

[04:03:45] Poby getting huge damage, AOE out of all members of SK that's flash out of Mickey and SK have to back off

[04:03:51] It looks so good at first, but you just you never kill your failures through the Lulu unless everybody gets on him

[04:03:58] Yeah, I mean so we're just talking about how for leader he doesn't have a good edge and he doesn't have a whole 16

[04:04:03] And they try to go for a fight. They think that they've caught out

[04:04:07] Sandy and now they're just gonna give up a baron. I think they're gonna be way too slow to get back onto them

[04:04:12] Yeah, I mean the juggler is on the bot side. He's carrying out plugs. He doesn't care

[04:04:15] He can't fight for this and

[04:04:17] And then SamD, they do get both the subs, which you could argue is a good idea, but the way this copter of SK wants to play is front to back.

[04:04:23] Ideally you should be playing Mundo, like it's cool if you chuck out SamD, but committing that hard, I think it was just a mistake.

[04:04:30] And it's, it's, funnily enough, an SK that lose three flashes on that play.

[04:04:34] They almost killed the AD carry, but almost is not close enough.

[04:04:38] As now Navi with another bear and a ball.

[04:04:41] Well look, to make this one a positive Red Bull Bear power play.

[04:04:45] take down the middle inhibitor, install the wave crashing in on the topside for a couple of plates picked up.

[04:04:50] SK are going to have to find more and more fight inside.

[04:04:54] Now there are instructions to turn this one around. It's been a tough series so far.

[04:04:58] Multiple pauses, delays, comeback attempts. I mean, you've got to wonder how much more do they have in the tank.

[04:05:04] I mean, they're going to have to find a big miracle.

[04:05:07] But from this position, I mean, it feels like a pretty guaranteed one game for Na'Vi.

[04:05:13] We see here. Yeah, I mean this this was like this is always what happened with Navi last time too

[04:05:18] Like they're doing a good job winning early in sometimes they throw

[04:05:21] But like this is three into the run out where they've had the you know early mid game gold lead arms

[04:05:26] So they game one wasn't a demanding one, but still they are playing a very solid

[04:05:31] version of League of Legends, which is around relet. It is around

[04:05:35] Solaner's finding their advantages themselves and they you know again double counterpicked basically and they still were able to

[04:05:41] find this massive gold lead in this game too. Just impressed with how things are

[04:05:46] coming together for a young roster. And now he looks at siege on the bottom side of his blood.

[04:05:51] Oh, but let's just level 18 to leaders 16 and is able to just kind of pop him down

[04:05:58] into 1v1. I think he looks like he's a mosquito or something. Yeah. Just

[04:06:03] swatting him away. Oh, but this thing doesn't have a

[04:06:05] the spell shield anymore so he's actually taking some damage from leader

[04:06:09] map health as the ultimate available yeah maybe just needs to do that like three

[04:06:14] more times and then religion alt and then another three more times it's a

[04:06:19] start you know sure yeah you can't take it one step at a time every difficult

[04:06:24] journey requires a single step you're right as it's so difficult to actually

[04:06:29] get these waves to crash anytime wonder specifically is there the

[04:06:33] and you need to be awake here, legendary, and even, you know, awake here very strong.

[04:06:37] If the Lech, you can just chunk out by leader here, just send schemes around.

[04:06:40] This time the fate seal will land, but schemes doesn't want to commit to it.

[04:06:45] And Lech didn't even pop the ultimate, so Mundo is still going to be tanky.

[04:06:49] And I think they're going to get some.

[04:06:51] I think that they are just going to do exactly what they're supposed to do.

[04:06:54] I like their use of the Baron here, just push in mid, push in bot.

[04:06:57] And this is what I was talking about game one, remember?

[04:06:59] Where you basically just keep those ways pushed, you suffocate the vision,

[04:07:02] And now SK can't see anything, so approaching the Baron becomes very difficult.

[04:07:06] You don't even need all members of Navi to do the Baron.

[04:07:08] You can basically just send somebody alone, you can blast out of the wall, you can take it.

[04:07:11] Or they can all just rush again at the second minute spawns.

[04:07:14] But you can also just farm.

[04:07:15] Down.

[04:07:15] It's fine.

[04:07:16] Yeah, he's gonna go for the early death.

[04:07:18] There we go.

[04:07:19] He sent a Lulu.

[04:07:20] Dragon soul security for Navi, uncontested.

[04:07:23] SK, all they can do is catch these waves.

[04:07:26] Too much pressure being put on them, and that is Chemtek's soul.

[04:07:29] Betty you were talking about it's often times not considered the strongest dragon soul but in these type of situations

[04:07:35] When it is these parts of acts when you have a renecdent in a moondo

[04:07:39] It just makes it a lot harder to actually be an insult in grief. Yeah

[04:07:45] Yeah, and so now V I mean the question is that they wait for Baron or do they just try and see I think that they

[04:07:50] Can kind of do either to be completely honest with you the wave clear from SK is the most annoying part and it is just

[04:07:56] I think he's just pissing Navi off to be completely honest with you.

[04:08:00] He's just, he's like, I ult, I Q, I ult, I Q, I wall, I ult, I Q.

[04:08:05] And at any moment, if you overstep, he walls into you.

[04:08:10] And then you're in trouble.

[04:08:11] Which is what set up SK for a almost comeback play, like they're able to get the goal

[04:08:15] I believe towards like 7K deficit.

[04:08:18] Now Navi has won that back with another Baron play, but Wunder has found a couple

[04:08:24] moments in this game and in this series and often SK kind of rely on this guy

[04:08:28] like when they're backs against the wall it is wonder that often steps up and

[04:08:33] makes that pick makes that point. I feel like if anyone's gonna carry it's gonna be Yoppa

[04:08:37] he's got the items to do it I think. Getting level 16 would help him a lot as well

[04:08:42] but really like because the Baron is still a minute and a half away, SK at least have a

[04:08:48] little bit more time to finish more items if they can. There's level 16

[04:08:52] Now finished for Yoppa. So three points in the LT is going to be a value upgrade for him

[04:08:57] Yeah, I mean the super minions coming in has just given consistent XP and

[04:09:01] gold to the berries

[04:09:03] of SK. So we're in this

[04:09:06] really like delayed stalemate

[04:09:08] The carries are at like max level almost some bees one level behind 18

[04:09:14] Hobies 18 leaders going to hit 18 this game, I bet

[04:09:17] That is a GA, now finished for the Renexa.

[04:09:21] Also, just noticing, Rilech is 10 CS away from a Flame Horizon in the jungle.

[04:09:27] Oh, yeah, so he is.

[04:09:28] A reminder, he level 1 had the Flash away from an invade that he gave

[04:09:33] and then still got ahead of Skeens in the clear.

[04:09:36] What about Light's farm?

[04:09:38] He's going for the flank, he's going for the flank right now,

[04:09:40] lands the first clean round to Yoppa, that is a slow as well as the Moonlight's vigil.

[04:09:44] Yoppa's got to get out of there.

[04:09:45] Dodges the death laser and the anivia wall will help them out

[04:09:48] But that's transcend oneself down on the in our will not have it available for the Baron in 25 seconds

[04:09:54] I mean I told him that can just the guard nothing that that hoping for a fight when nobby go for the siege

[04:10:00] Nobby are taking that sweet time though

[04:10:02] Y'all put gonna try and life still back that it comes real at yeah

[04:10:05] It's scary to be up here, but he is able to back away again not a lot of heart and gauge inside of Navi

[04:10:10] It's just Mundo running at you and renekton had no flank angle there

[04:10:14] wasn't close by so okay we're back to the farm fest we're back to a bit of a mid

[04:10:21] a ram here as wonder throws up the wall until we'll let you will flash forward

[04:10:25] Poby as well trying to get in on them he's running forward so no flash on the

[04:10:31] moondow but they will just back off towards the Baron which has spawned

[04:10:34] It's about sending a message wait, can they contest?

[04:10:39] Yeah leader has gone full

[04:10:41] What I would describe so acute in that he is just power farming trying to get strong himself city

[04:10:48] Maybe useful later get me tower get a little bit of gold back. He said he sites on the box to

[04:10:55] I mean steal this that's a nice injection of gold. Yeah got a full table stay. You'll just take the place for now

[04:11:01] two plays but they got the mid turret so that is actually technically currently a

[04:11:05] negative fair in our next optics I've done for you but so like this gold I mean

[04:11:10] we said at last game right just means less or less the later into the game you

[04:11:12] go mm-hmm because the 80 carries are actually even on items by the way I

[04:11:17] mean you can't see you right now but that that gold graph is deceptive

[04:11:21] because all the really matters is the items and I will say that your

[04:11:26] Relentious items are probably the scariest.

[04:11:29] We'll make it yet again. Pretty far forward here because of the tornado. Has the flash available, but won't have to use it right now.

[04:11:35] It's not the Pop the Shurellias for the movespeed. Get some damage on the Yakuha, but

[04:11:40] it's all about this inhibitor and SK seem like they are fine at giving that up. Again,

[04:11:45] just means super minions will keep shoving in. Relentious hit by the wall.

[04:11:49] Has the CC mid-dee from the passive, and we'll take that back up to Kielas.

[04:11:53] Now they look to use this third Baron buff to start seeding on to the Nexus turrets for the first time this game.

[04:12:01] The two cannons are cleared out as SK now look to defend the bottom side here.

[04:12:05] Nature push another way in with the two cannons as well. Flash report onto Wunder to flash on the Anivia damage on this game.

[04:12:10] But what is it? We're back the way. Ralech actually heavily chunks down as Yapo is free firing for quite a bit.

[04:12:17] Nabi will just get the inhibitor and then go for a reset.

[04:12:21] And we have more League of Legends in front of us, Betty.

[04:12:23] Slow and steady is the game time from Navi. They are just walking at SK

[04:12:28] It feels like SK really just don't have the damage to really stop for that. Remember he didn't ult now

[04:12:33] You got low, he didn't ult

[04:12:36] Maybe he's got a mission. He's like guys, I'm not gonna need my ult for the rest of this game

[04:12:40] I'm just not gonna press it. Seems like that is his game plan

[04:12:43] He is

[04:12:44] He is another raid boss. We keep seeing him in the series and Betty I I don't want to like I

[04:12:50] I don't know if this is considered a caster curse. Well first off, curses aren't real

[04:12:54] I you you firmly have believed that I have to try to convince me

[04:12:57] It almost feels like we're in one of these games

[04:12:59] It's just never gonna end the way if there's too strong, but sometimes I'm saying it right now. Yeah, nobby can't lose this game

[04:13:06] It's very impossible. They will win

[04:13:10] Look then in the game right there and then the game right away SK elder dragons up in 10 seconds

[04:13:15] SK are setting up for the objective.

[04:13:17] Navi are instead pushing in with the Baron buff,

[04:13:20] but they're also looking at this top turret instead.

[04:13:23] Main turret was not grouped up with the team.

[04:13:25] He will just take the turret down.

[04:13:26] The inhibitor is still up, and he walks away.

[04:13:29] Split from the team, but has the GA available,

[04:13:32] so Navi could always back him up if SK over-signed onto him.

[04:13:36] Main turret's just going to be a thorn in the side of SK

[04:13:38] while Navi now head back towards the elder.

[04:13:40] Three inhibitors down, inhibitor unavailable.

[04:13:44] Why did I say Hibbit is twice?

[04:13:46] Elder Dragon, Navi and Secure.

[04:13:48] Starting up by Navi,

[04:13:50] Leader does have the teleport

[04:13:52] and there is a flanking ward available

[04:13:54] instead he's going to TP for the front to back.

[04:13:56] Mainter as well TPing into the pit.

[04:13:58] Navi control the approach, they have the banana bush

[04:14:00] and SK just can't get in there yet

[04:14:02] but they push back Navi with the

[04:14:04] Anivia ult flank.

[04:14:06] Mainter has the flank angle.

[04:14:08] Yoppa is in trouble right now.

[04:14:10] Watch for the Anaura. Mainter just walks on him

[04:14:12] The undead with the dragon is secured.

[04:14:15] That's Elder for Navi, and that means a T-Fight win.

[04:14:19] The fate deal from Lyra looks fancy,

[04:14:20] but it's just not enough damage.

[04:14:23] Too little, too late.

[04:14:24] Shut down on the pairs.

[04:14:25] Don't mean much.

[04:14:27] Navi with a double kill to Sambi will take the Elder,

[04:14:31] take the fight, and take game three.

[04:14:33] Excellent smite from Reletch to help secure the Elder.

[04:14:36] Both journalists were locked in to securing that objective

[04:14:39] because it could have been the difference maker

[04:14:41] in the outcome of the fight.

[04:14:42] But Na'Vi, it'll take them 40 minutes, but they'll close this one out, and they'll go 2-0 up on the weekend.

[04:14:47] Elder Dragon can end games, and that's the story of this game.

[04:14:52] Na'Vi taking 3 in the series.

[04:14:55] Whew, a long one.

[04:14:57] Longer than expected, this year.

[04:15:00] But Na'Vi, they walk away victorious this weekend, as SK dropped down to 0-2.

[04:15:06] So, very different weekends for both teams, as Na'Vi starting their spring split off strong.

[04:15:11] it's single round Robin Bester three. And so the fact that they've already beaten Koi

[04:15:17] is huge in the context of contesting those top of the spots. But for SK, these losses,

[04:15:24] I mean, they can have huge impact as we get later into the season.

[04:15:27] And reminder to vote for your player of the series, Ralech, Poby or Paris. I mean, I

[04:15:32] feel like it's hard to not go Ralech for me if I'm voting on it. But I think also

[04:15:37] not the Poby, not the Paris as well as Navi take a bow well earned there. Yeah, we need

[04:15:46] to take a breather. Yeah, it finally did. It did finally end. A lot more questions raised

[04:15:52] around SK and their approach. Did they overcook or perhaps was it just a bad day? Miimar for

[04:15:58] Navi. Optimistic expectations like this. I would say that their Koi series is almost

[04:16:04] cleaner than this one was. I would agree, yeah. So still a couple of question marks, but we are only

[04:16:09] at the start of the split and I'm sure teams will continue to ramp up. I think Navi showed that they

[04:16:13] can get leads. Now it's ending games a little faster, but they can still end games with wins.

[04:16:19] Let's hear from some of the players because we have Mainter and Ralech at the desk.

[04:16:25] Yes, sir. Thank you so much. Congratulations, you two. That's a two and zero on the week.

[04:16:30] Let's go!

[04:16:31] Maitre, did you expect to go up against an Anivia today?

[04:16:34] Yeah, I saw a lot of Anivia in solo queue.

[04:16:37] I know Wunder is the type of guy who can pick

[04:16:41] like Sanaka top, Anivia, Garen, every random champ.

[04:16:44] So yeah, the moment they picked Anivia, we insisted it's flex.

[04:16:47] We know it can be top, so yeah.

[04:16:49] What was the difficulty in playing against it?

[04:16:52] Um, in my opinion it should be harder.

[04:16:56] Yeah.

[04:16:56] But it wasn't easy as well, so it was okay.

[04:16:59] Which is okay. Yeah. I think if I don't eat one time when they can kill me, I would be in good gold lead

[04:17:05] But yeah, it was just even I hope

[04:17:08] I didn't see gold. I mean it's always dangerous against an enemy when the game goes very very long

[04:17:12] But luckily guys close the door, but I do have to ask about that reallych

[04:17:15] Sometimes you guys weren't that clean when you had a lead. I think you have the eight trucks game, etc

[04:17:20] What's going on man? I don't know it comes with a bit messy today. It was like a lot of

[04:17:25] of confusion in game, we were not like playing clean enough games or writing too long with

[04:17:34] that early leads.

[04:17:36] What do you think the reason was for that?

[04:17:38] What do you think was the reason?

[04:17:39] Why things are messy?

[04:17:40] I don't know.

[04:17:41] Like we just wake up like the night.

[04:17:45] Yeah, I mean for us it was entertaining to watch.

[04:17:49] But Maitre overall, how have you felt about stepping back into the LEC, what are the

[04:17:53] kind of things you're focusing on after your first split where Navi actually had great success but

[04:17:58] obviously fell in those playoffs. We for sure more focused on like best of three, best of five,

[04:18:05] because before we won like every, a lot of best of one, and then we lost

[04:18:10] two, best of three, a lot of three. So yeah, we were more focused on long

[04:18:14] term, like picking like a lot of champs, not only like Caramble, XantheSign,

[04:18:19] Renekton maybe sometimes.

[04:18:21] Yeah.

[04:18:22] So yeah, just more champion pool and more confidence I guess is the main point for me.

[04:18:26] People are starting to say, oh he's just like a tank player, he's a Kasante user, what do you say about that?

[04:18:31] Yeah, I like to abuse Kasante, I like to abuse Sion or PPs, but I think the more people believe that I'm a full tank player,

[04:18:41] the easier it is for me to angle a good angle like Kennen or Gnar, like I did this.

[04:18:47] I would not say other jokes, so not the Anivia, no, you know, I'm not even Anivia at the

[04:18:54] final.

[04:18:55] Maybe.

[04:18:56] Roletja, I got to talk to your coach earlier, and I told him what you told me, yeah.

[04:19:00] I was yapping a bit to him about how he said, you know, I'm very confident, I believe

[04:19:05] I can be the best, and he told me that you are developing into this captain, but

[04:19:08] that sometimes your brain doesn't like completely follow all the mechanical

[04:19:13] plays.

[04:19:14] Sometimes, yes.

[04:19:15] Do you agree?

[04:19:16] happen today? I think first game, first game, Althrux game, it happened, like actually it's

[04:19:24] a second game. Althrux game, it happened when I chased, like, oh I got ultraced with Althrux,

[04:19:30] oh I need to kill them, like I kind of felt like this a little bit, but yeah overall it was

[04:19:36] a slightly bad day on this. Well you're frustrated because we were watching that and

[04:19:40] you, you know when you went to the grog, right? How did you know it was there? Like

[04:19:45] Why you yeah, I mean I knew because of the like he made it me the one he tried to cheese like he then I stole the

[04:19:53] Grom it was kind of lucky. Yeah, I wasn't expecting to do this

[04:19:56] But I was just lucky there then like I kind of snowballed through it even though I died early game

[04:20:02] I was like 30 25 CS up. I was like one or two levels up. I was really ahead

[04:20:08] It was same last game as well. Like I died on crab. Yes, but I got double crab in the end

[04:20:13] It's jungle mentality and I get like three, two drakes because of just the double crab.

[04:20:20] Yeah, double crab more important than dragon for you?

[04:20:24] Of course not.

[04:20:25] It's a running joke we had behind the scenes.

[04:20:30] Okay, what would be more important for Riletto or for Navi?

[04:20:33] Like crab, no, like missing a wedding, still getting dragon probably.

[04:20:38] If I'm getting the Drake and Crib, Sus Crib, I can give everything.

[04:20:44] It's so good. Let's take a look at some of the replays because you secured a series thanks to the Euronix play of the day.

[04:20:51] It was when it was a little closed down, but here at the Dragon, they just closed the door.

[04:20:55] Yeah, it got very dicey towards the end of this, but it was really just a big play from Sandy at the end of it, with the Affiliates to carry it through.

[04:21:02] But also, Mainter, you had a fantastic last call at the start of this, which I think really set yourselves up for success.

[04:21:07] Yeah, I'm a bit less kind of user. I like when I play, you know.

[04:21:10] I was sometimes used for fun on scrims as well. I was learning.

[04:21:13] Now I found my few angles. Yeah, it was good.

[04:21:16] Nice. We let you happy with this one.

[04:21:20] Sorry?

[04:21:20] You happy with this play?

[04:21:21] I can't even remember if you secured the dragon or not.

[04:21:23] Ah, no, he stole it. Like, he was dead.

[04:21:25] I did remember.

[04:21:26] He was like reviving.

[04:21:28] Oh, I know, he cannot smite in revive.

[04:21:30] Guys, finish Drake. We hit Drake.

[04:21:32] We cannot finish on time.

[04:21:34] He respawns and takes it.

[04:21:36] It was a bit anicky, but we killed them all, so it's worth it.

[04:21:39] Unlucky. How do you feel about the week overall?

[04:21:42] I think it was good week.

[04:21:43] Even though we had some silly games, because like 2-0,

[04:21:48] and that's what is important, because only six teams are going to the playoffs,

[04:21:52] and every win is really, really important.

[04:21:55] I'm happy overall, but we need to improve a lot.

[04:21:59] Okay. There's no surprise, but our key player of the series,

[04:22:03] Are you surprised, Mainter?

[04:22:06] Yeah, I'm full surprised.

[04:22:08] You're also in it, actually.

[04:22:10] Second time?

[04:22:11] Yeah.

[04:22:12] You'll be like, decaps, you know?

[04:22:14] Naminate it a million times?

[04:22:16] One-zero?

[04:22:17] Yeah.

[04:22:18] I believe you will get your time.

[04:22:20] Yeah, when you play your cannon.

[04:22:22] Yeah, maybe when I roll up to jungle.

[04:22:25] You need to get to play your jungle champ.

[04:22:27] You will stop playing jungle champs.

[04:22:29] I will become better people who will be shocked.

[04:22:32] Thanks for the day

[04:22:34] That's actually really good, yeah

[04:22:36] It's fun, guys, okay, well thank you guys so much and congratulations

[04:22:39] 2-0 on the week for Navi, that's a great start

[04:22:41] And next up we have Team Heretics versus Team Vitality

[04:22:44] We'll be right back

[04:23:32] Is he switching lanes?

[04:24:02] Red Bull gives you wings

[04:26:32] In an interview, Pat said that we lost to ourselves.

[04:27:01] a tough best of three with Casey and Vitality went all the distance. Usually when coaches

[04:27:06] make statements like these, it's copiant to the max, right? They're just, they're saying

[04:27:11] it because they don't want to admit defeat. But in this instance, it's so true. This

[04:27:16] was so frustrating to watch. It starts off as a 50 minute game, Vitality had multiple

[04:27:20] chances to end, but we don't need to worry about that because it's checkmate. I want

[04:27:24] you to just think about the fact that they have two inhibitors down. You see the

[04:27:29] there's two in the roof down which means minions will end the game for you. All I want Vitality to do

[04:27:35] is just chill, force them off the elder and as long as KC cannot flip the elder it's GG for Vitality.

[04:27:43] They will eventually be able to TP to this wave with Knock Knock Go. Yes the TP and Jax

[04:27:49] takes towers so incredibly fast but you can see that already the elder is 6k. Vitality has

[04:27:55] not son them off. And Korsy. Korsy is hitting the elder. We're hitting the elder. I don't

[04:28:01] understand. This is like you have the game in the palm of your hands. All you need to do is just

[04:28:07] not hit the elder and you win the game. You just TP to the minions but they flip it. And you're

[04:28:13] up against this smite king in Jaik, bro. He's always going to get that elder and then they

[04:28:18] lose the fight. Naktako still tries to TP. But at that point you didn't delay enough.

[04:28:23] Now, Casey can just match the TPs and...

[04:28:26] Oh, it's so frustrating to watch.

[04:28:30] They really, really lost to themselves here, like...

[04:28:34] This was a tough watch for my tower.

[04:28:37] It was a tough watch. So Pat did apologize.

[04:28:39] Pat did apologize.

[04:28:40] Actually, not for the draft.

[04:28:41] Not for the draft.

[04:28:42] He actually said the draft would work fine if you weren't 6K behind in that article, didn't he?

[04:28:46] He did say that.

[04:28:47] We can't be drafting like that.

[04:28:50] Yeah.

[04:28:50] I mean, this run was fun.

[04:28:52] Yeah, it was fun.

[04:28:54] Yeah, it was unfortunate.

[04:28:58] And I think it was definitely unfortunate for someone like Nak Nakko, right?

[04:29:02] Because we talk about him every segment, but Dagda, he is not giving us any reason to shut up about him.

[04:29:07] He again had monster series.

[04:29:09] The problem is it's becoming more and more normal for him to sometimes have an over stay or an over push

[04:29:16] because he feels like he has to push that advantage home.

[04:29:18] Yeah, I mean when you're in the only person on your team with a lead you have to but it's become very clear that knack-knack

[04:29:24] Who is the best top player that we have in Europe right now?

[04:29:25] He's been absolutely insane

[04:29:27] He whooped Kana three days to Sunday the every single time he faced open that matchup

[04:29:32] And especially when you're playing on a jacks the fact that you could make plays like that that define the game

[04:29:37] It was nearly bin level well

[04:29:39] Yeah, but at first stand after first stand we said look top laners can carry the whole game for the team

[04:29:44] BLG does it? Why can't fightality?

[04:29:47] I mean, they couldn't do it because they lacked the macro, but it was not because the individual players.

[04:29:51] Like, normally in Europe, what I feel is that our top players simply don't play the teamfights well enough to have that carry potential,

[04:29:58] but knock-knock with tusks. And as we transition to Tracin as well, who I've been really surprised by,

[04:30:03] because he had a fantastic performance up against Wunder, who is a veteran in the scene, right?

[04:30:09] And maybe Wunder isn't so good anymore. I don't know what's going on, but Wunder had a good LEC versus, right?

[04:30:14] So as a benchmark it felt like Tracin is coming off also a very young player into our league

[04:30:19] And maybe in general it's a sign of top lane leveling up in Europe. Oh fun matchup either way

[04:30:25] Yeah, I mean look you got knack knack Osora farming

[04:30:27] It's gonna be Tracin to see if he can upset the apple card look already for it

[04:30:31] Like it's such a sick matchup to watch it is team heritage

[04:30:33] Of course they want that big scalpel vitality and vitality wants a win to show for what they've worked on in

[04:30:39] the in between season I'm gonna call it we're gonna dive straight into picks and

[04:30:43] bends it's time for heretics versus team vitality

[04:31:02] here they are I don't know because there's curly no crowd did you hear

[04:31:06] our stage manager alias go go players we should put a camera back there it's

[04:31:11] really a it's it's something it's something to see yeah new shades of

[04:31:16] red and faces that you didn't know exactly you think they know when to go

[04:31:20] and the meat down down on on on on on anyway we're gonna do the draft guys

[04:31:24] yeah very exciting I mean as we head into this matchup for me I really want to

[04:31:28] keep happening on the top lane I really want to see what we're gonna see from

[04:31:32] both of these complainers I want to see Tracy in a winning matchup because

[04:31:35] Otherwise, I'm scared of what Magnako will do.

[04:31:38] Yeah, and I think you do have to try and put some focus on us,

[04:31:40] but I think it does kind of work out in it.

[04:31:42] With the way that the drafts have been going,

[04:31:44] we see a lot of focus on junglers and bot lane early,

[04:31:46] so it then becomes a case of,

[04:31:47] do you try and give up one of these power positions

[04:31:51] to try and secure something early in that matchup for Tracin,

[04:31:54] or do you just kind of hope that you can continue to get that counter pick later on in the draft?

[04:31:58] Yeah, some good questions there, Dagda.

[04:32:00] We'll also see what the mid lane jungle priority situation looks like.

[04:32:04] I'm sorry to think that Atrox maybe is just quite an old Peter and others.

[04:32:08] I heard him talking about on a pixel earlier.

[04:32:12] Yeah. I think that's where he's getting his inspiration from. I don't know, I'll ask him later maybe.

[04:32:16] Yeah, he's definitely very hype. Despite the lack of crowd

[04:32:20] he still seems to be really feeling himself, so that's nice. I mean, Carsey with energy

[04:32:24] is just... I was going to say, I never really felt like Carsey needed some of the bounce off of.

[04:32:28] We just find a wall to do that. That's true. That's humanoid actually.

[04:32:32] Yeah, true actually.

[04:32:33] Jupiter is the wall.

[04:32:34] Yeah, he is.

[04:32:35] It still works.

[04:32:36] Yeah, look at him.

[04:32:36] He's just like, oh my god, this guy.

[04:32:38] He's just getting tilted from cars.

[04:32:39] Whatever.

[04:32:41] Funny.

[04:32:43] An unsung hero.

[04:32:44] I think Linsen is kind of an unsung hero on that roster.

[04:32:47] I agree.

[04:32:47] He's going top a lot, guys.

[04:32:49] He's going top a lot.

[04:32:50] Yeah.

[04:32:50] I mean, he killed Khan on the Aurora,

[04:32:52] which just said, oh, for Nakamaka to have that snowball.

[04:32:54] So definitely I think he's been having a great performance.

[04:32:56] But I think it does speak volumes to what

[04:32:59] has been created on Vitality, which just

[04:33:01] feels like this bunch of friends who are playing league together feels like old

[04:33:04] school like back in the day 2013-2014 yeah it's just we're hanging it we're

[04:33:08] having a good time it feels like the mad lion squad really brought back because

[04:33:12] that was the energy they had as well we'll see here I really hope that we're

[04:33:16] not gonna get like a Santa rumble trade or Sion rumble something like that that

[04:33:19] would be pretty disappointing after we've been hyping up top laner so much

[04:33:23] with the Orianna and the rice taken out looks like they're just gonna go

[04:33:26] for the Azir, so high DPS mid for humanoid here. Well, see if Saren has a spicy pick

[04:33:33] up towards him. Yeah, I mean with the Kali is that first ban there for Vitality. It's

[04:33:38] kind of setting up that Azir. Yeah, it feels like the Azir should be in a decent spot. We've

[04:33:41] kind of seen some people going back towards like this. Alistar's not like an answer for

[04:33:44] it, Ari can kind of be there. But Saren looks very good in the Akali of the day, so

[04:33:48] I do like the priority here for Vitality. Yep. The Azir. Are we doing that? You

[04:33:55] Do you want to do the Yay or Nae again?

[04:33:57] Yay, because I just saw Yoppa going after the Ash.

[04:34:00] I'm actually usually a bit of an Ash hater, I feel like it doesn't do much.

[04:34:04] But after seeing Yoppa, he was doing so much damage.

[04:34:07] Usually when Ash is big, it doesn't really provide that raw damage.

[04:34:10] It's just so circumstantial, right?

[04:34:12] They can pick all kinds of things to make our life hell.

[04:34:15] Yeah, I think Ash here, and then maybe even going for the Seraphine,

[04:34:17] or just going Ash and then Jungle and then Seraphine on three.

[04:34:20] It's a bit of a jargon, even though you see a dash from the Asir.

[04:34:23] But maybe they're thinking that they're either they want to force them to pick something like the corky or the astral

[04:34:29] Or they're just like Jarvan's all be no matter what yeah, I thought they'd actually just go for something like the body

[04:34:34] Like I think he can do that and so would make more sense the only other thing is like maybe they're trying to go for the mobile

[04:34:41] Mid here for siren on free and they're just like okay

[04:34:43] We need to get rid of this Jarvan so then it's not locked in yeah

[04:34:46] But does feel awkward to be playing Jarvan now into the S

[04:34:49] At least you have the Nami that you can always look to collapse on and I think with that Nami look in

[04:34:54] It's probably 99% gonna be Seraphine here on 3. It's kind of a crazy enchantment that we've acted up in.

[04:35:00] It is. Do you like it?

[04:35:02] Mixed bag for me. I

[04:35:04] Like the variety. I think you kind of get bored of seeing engage support every game

[04:35:08] But I think after a full if it's a full season of this people will get really bored.

[04:35:12] I'm gonna climb in karma every game

[04:35:14] Yeah, the thing is it's like you just have so little agency

[04:35:17] I think surfing a little bit more because you have the big old team you can make huge impact

[04:35:21] But Nami is like unless you're boost you all the bubbles are kind of whatever

[04:35:25] So you're just healing people and buffing them up that way

[04:35:28] But it seems like we're might be getting a more spicy top lane matchup as we had a face here

[04:35:34] And both teams can start to look to target that top lane role. I if I'm

[04:35:38] Vitality, I feel like I just target me though

[04:35:40] Like I already have these here just get rid of more matchups that it can do well into true

[04:35:44] I just set up Humanoid to really be a Karrion.

[04:35:46] Humanoid has looked good on these here in the past,

[04:35:48] but I also think when Humanoid has been set up for success

[04:35:51] and made like true draft,

[04:35:52] like they think of things like the Zoe and that,

[04:35:54] he's been fantastic.

[04:35:56] I can't set him up for success.

[04:35:58] McNachos on your team.

[04:36:00] Wonderful.

[04:36:01] That's amazing.

[04:36:02] True. Have the ultimate one, three, one.

[04:36:04] Yeah. Oh, wow.

[04:36:06] G220.

[04:36:06] Music to my ears.

[04:36:08] The McNachoid.

[04:36:09] I'm gonna take that one.

[04:36:11] All right.

[04:36:13] We're ready.

[04:36:15] Aurora being taken out here, so you're right.

[04:36:17] They're looking to target mid. We'll see if they ban one more out.

[04:36:20] And actually two jungle bans from Team Heretic.

[04:36:22] So they're trying to target linsus.

[04:36:24] It's gonna be a Narban, which makes me think probably

[04:36:27] either a Renekton, Cassanta or Sion blindpick

[04:36:30] is the most likely here, but knowing Nanknako

[04:36:33] I think he's more likely to maybe go for that Renekton pick.

[04:36:36] Well, I do think Vitality really wants some sort of front line, so maybe he's then going to decide to go for the Cassante instead, but he's not a Sion guy.

[04:36:43] Knock Knocko is very interesting. We looked at both Kanna and Knock Knocko, and Kanna loves the Sion, while Knock Knocko just played the Cassante instead, but actually LeBlanc for Saren.

[04:36:53] Tough chapter execute, I must say.

[04:36:55] Yeah, it's not one that I expected, but the R-Sera fit as well, because I traditionally think of consistent DPS, because your whole goal is kind of to win out on those longer engagements.

[04:37:04] But LeBlanc just wants to blow some it up, but she's not exactly going to have a lot of help to do so.

[04:37:08] So I'm curious exactly how they want to turn around. Even against a game like we've been talking about, a lot of mobility.

[04:37:13] Yeah, I think the nice thing about LeBlanc here is that there's not a lot of lockdown.

[04:37:17] The only thing you're really worried about is that Pantheon W, but it's quite short range.

[04:37:20] So LeBlanc is kind of transitioning into playing like this poking champion later on.

[04:37:24] There's that Renekton and Nakhnakos had such great games on it.

[04:37:27] I think one of the few people that can really justify pulling it out,

[04:37:31] because he's actually able to win lane and then leverage that into being useful later on in the game.

[04:37:35] We'll see what Linsus has into it.

[04:37:37] Not Linsus Tracin, rather.

[04:37:39] He could pick something a little bit more spicy, but it could also just be a tank.

[04:37:44] Seraphine really wants some tanky boys in front of her that she can buff and shield up, so...

[04:37:49] Yeah, it looks like she's gonna be like Kassante.

[04:37:51] I mean, not blue because it's a good pick, but I always feel so cheated when we get like the last picks,

[04:37:55] and then it's for Nek the Kassante.

[04:37:57] Yeah, it's not the most exciting, but I do feel you there.

[04:37:59] That's fine. Okay, who's comped? Do you prefer that guy?

[04:38:01] I think I prefer both Vitality half. I think they've got like good ways to try and play through their mid lane and also through the top side.

[04:38:08] And my Pantheon should be able to have decent control in the early stages.

[04:38:11] I think the only threat really is Herakits trying to play heavily through that bottom side with the Ash Seraphine.

[04:38:15] Maybe look for some invades and try and make the Pantheons like Miserable Ernie.

[04:38:19] Pretty hard to play for Ash, no?

[04:38:21] Yeah, I prefer Vitality as well. I do think if Team Erniex can get the ball rolling that they can.

[04:38:26] They have a lot of engage right with the drive and ulti with Ashe ult and then follow up with Seraphine ult as well

[04:38:31] But I prefer vitality. They have more range easier execution and as long as Knuckles winning lane

[04:38:37] I mean we've seen it before. It's also just if you fall behind it

[04:38:40] You just don't have any damage with this Ashe Seraphine or Blanc like you kind of need to be ahead of all points

[04:38:44] Let's see if they are ahead and they stay ahead or if it's going to be the Knuckles show once again

[04:38:49] Take it away casters

[04:38:51] Thank you very much, Desk. They seem to be favoring Vitality's composition, Vendias, what are your thoughts on who walked away from picking ban with the lead?

[04:39:00] Well, I'm a contrarian.

[04:39:01] Oh, I have learned that about you.

[04:39:04] Yeah, the word that Jack used that I think I agree with the most is easier to play.

[04:39:12] Okay.

[04:39:13] And I think Vitality's quote is easier to play.

[04:39:15] Sure.

[04:39:16] But, I find that in a meta where mages kind of run the rift, I think the Blanc offers

[04:39:25] way more kill threat than people give credit for, but I think you have to be really good

[04:39:30] a little more.

[04:39:31] Ok, so if we turn the nameplates off, if we just turn the nameplates off, I still

[04:39:37] favor Vitality's composition.

[04:39:38] Ok, ok.

[04:39:39] Y'all better switch there.

[04:39:42] What if we turn the nameplates back on?

[04:39:43] We took a little bit of these facts while I was seriously in favor of my top of these composition.

[04:39:47] Oh no.

[04:39:48] Uh, hey, Saren had a good series, uh, just recently, and I actually want to start off by talking about that because I think that, like,

[04:39:56] outside of lane, this was where a lot of it came online, in terms of at least, like, damage per minute, I was very impressed.

[04:40:03] CS per minute, you've played a lot of melee champions, so that's not going to be as high up there.

[04:40:07] He was getting kind of bullied in lane, but he was racking up kills, Kp, and also, I think,

[04:40:12] Once you get out of that laning phase, you got much more comfortable.

[04:40:15] Can he do that with LeBlanc?

[04:40:16] Do you think that this champion will allow him to do that into the A0?

[04:40:19] I mean, again, on paper, yeah.

[04:40:21] Yeah, theory.

[04:40:22] But I like it.

[04:40:23] Like, after our first series today, execution has just kind of been a raising question

[04:40:28] in my mind, you know?

[04:40:29] Yeah.

[04:40:30] Your ability to pilot the champion is pretty key in actually making things work out.

[04:40:34] So that's why I'm going to be tracking, keeping my eyes on.

[04:40:38] I do think that Heretic's basically 1-3-0 yesterday is kind of my thing.

[04:40:43] Like they had such a good lead that they ended up throwing away credit to SK for coming back in that game one.

[04:40:48] But I really did feel like Heretic's which is playing super well.

[04:40:52] Like I used to someone asking my eyes on, but also Tracin had a really strong performance.

[04:40:56] I will say that Tracin now going up against Knock Knock Go, like,

[04:41:01] I mean you guys probably have had similar experiences in North America.

[04:41:05] had it recently with like Thanatos where it feels like Thanatos is just so much

[04:41:09] better than every other top laner. In lane yes. Yeah exactly and so

[04:41:13] Naknako the conversation or all of last split was very much about him versus

[04:41:20] Karna who is better and then we got to see them play. I'm telling you it was

[04:41:24] close. Well like they were back and forth it was super exciting but like the

[04:41:28] game I don't think was really determined by top it was kind of determined by

[04:41:31] everything else that was going on on the rift. But Nak Nakko has just taken the

[04:41:37] world by storm in a sense. People are so captivated by his impact, his ability to

[04:41:41] carry. It feels like it's been so long having outside of Kana. I mean because

[04:41:45] he's a European talent right? You haven't had to import a talent. So it's

[04:41:48] he's a really exciting player. There's so many people are excited for it.

[04:41:52] Nak Nakko has been performing incredibly well but Tracen had a great first series.

[04:41:57] So these are the stats from just the series that they've played so far this split.

[04:42:00] And I think it goes to your point that they basically 3-0'd.

[04:42:04] They did throw one of the games, but like Tracin was a big part of why they were able to get those leads

[04:42:10] in the games that they won and even that game that they lost.

[04:42:12] So that made this matchup topside that, you know, going into the split,

[04:42:16] I think everybody would have said, oh yeah, knock, knock, go, takes is easy, but

[04:42:20] now Tracin put like a little asterisk on it, like maybe he's got what it takes to actually step up.

[04:42:24] He is getting shoved into the top lane, and it's Kasante versus Renekton, so probably not going to be that much excitement happening in the 1v1 right now, but it's something that will keep our eyes on.

[04:42:32] Well, I mean, it's one of those top lane matchups, but again, like, not to glaze, like, not to lose the ball, but just the way that he lanes is actually worth watching.

[04:42:40] Like, because normally, domestically in EU, we pick Kasante because it's like kind of safe into Renekton, and you go even.

[04:42:46] Knuck Knuck is one of the few renekton players that really makes you realize why this is renekton favorite

[04:42:52] Look at what he's doing. He's standing on the melee minions because he knows how short range kasate is and so he is

[04:42:59] perma perma trading to make sure that tracin is punished for every single see it and like look at his positioning again

[04:43:05] They're standing on top of that melee minion and the wave is coming towards it

[04:43:08] I mean like it's been a good spot for him

[04:43:09] He's gonna push this wave underneath the tower now the TP is available for tracin so he can just come back into laying

[04:43:14] But like that's now a full wave advantage of the has over and he's utilizing the minions to

[04:43:19] To make sure that they still die. So like there's nothing that tracings inherently doing braw. Yeah, okay

[04:43:25] Like I don't this is not a flame to trace in any way

[04:43:27] He's doing his absolute best in this situation the fact that he's only a wave down is pretty good

[04:43:30] But it's a great demonstration of how impressive knack knack already is during the lane also go to the observers for

[04:43:35] Showing us that so we can actually break down a shea was looking for and then babe here on the Raptors

[04:43:40] is. We'll just walk away. Actually, he's kind of got away with that. I mean, yeah, that's

[04:43:45] a good use of your mid prior right there. LeBlanc, it does have the advantage against

[04:43:48] his ear early on humanized forced to go back to base. And so Shay recognizing that, Hey,

[04:43:54] my LeBlanc can come faster. My LeBlanc has more HP. You're is the base. This is good

[04:43:58] for me. And Sarah's also placed the mid wave in a really nice spot. It's going

[04:44:01] to slow push back towards him. So he's pretty happy about that. And ultimately the

[04:44:06] The bot side of the Rift going very favorably for Heretic's hit in the early game.

[04:44:11] And so yeah, I mean he's able to get back to his own side as well and keep farming up

[04:44:15] but he's just kind of walked up with the lane push of Saren and now Saren's back

[04:44:19] to wave.

[04:44:20] So you'll notice he's gone back to base and won't take in his Gromp.

[04:44:22] You might think, why?

[04:44:23] Well, crab is spawning in, well, what?

[04:44:26] 30 seconds in.

[04:44:27] Well, less than that I think.

[04:44:28] So what his plan is, take the Gromp potentially or just go straight to the thing.

[04:44:33] So the pings are coming down, it looks like his plan might be just to go straight towards it

[04:44:36] or he's just letting his team know that the jungler is likely there

[04:44:39] as the bot lane looks for a bit of a fight, but that bot side crab, very important

[04:44:43] So he wanted to go back to base, spend the gold before contesting the crab

[04:44:47] Lynter's doing the exact same thing, the only difference in their build is a ruby crystal versus a longsword

[04:44:52] The heritage bot lane taking such a fantastic trade

[04:44:55] Great bubble from Fleshy, cause that double root under Karzy might have spelled his doom

[04:45:00] his doom yeah because of this push on the bad side yeah lindsay's just completely

[04:45:04] leaves away that scuttle share we'll pick it up hits level six I love this

[04:45:07] yeah so this is great adaptation love what I'm seeing from both junglers right

[04:45:11] now specifically because lindsay's is saying I don't know if our bot lane can

[04:45:15] contest so I'm just gonna clear my jungle go back today spend the gold

[04:45:19] threaten the counter invade but he's realizing oh hang on a second I think

[04:45:24] I'm too slow I think I'm too late to the play and the red buff wasn't spawned

[04:45:27] Yeah, and so they do get a bit of information

[04:45:30] But he can't actually steal anything away. So ultimately this is a net win for shale

[04:45:34] You know has a half a level lead he stole away lenses wrapped as earlier as well, which he just had insult to injury and

[04:45:41] so

[04:45:42] Heretics, I mean off to a good start here. Yeah, it's about the lane prio to allow their jungler to step up and

[04:45:50] Get this lead and shale and that's let's see what he can do with that lead at this point

[04:45:54] because he hits at level six first.

[04:45:55] Pantheon level six is a little funkier because J4 is pretty straightforward.

[04:45:59] You go for the engage, you define somebody, you can lock them down.

[04:46:02] Ooh, Sarah missing the chains right there.

[04:46:04] You know, walking away from them.

[04:46:06] But then the Pantheon ultimate, it can either be used

[04:46:09] any time you see the J4 go in, or you can use it to just get around

[04:46:13] the map to places that you're not expected.

[04:46:15] As Linsis will actually instead just kind of walk up

[04:46:17] directly here as Sarah bounces back.

[04:46:21] Takes a minute and

[04:46:23] I think this was just covering in case Sheo did look for a play, the ward was placed down, even though he didn't get that invade off, he at least knew that Sheo was on the top half of the map.

[04:46:30] Absolutely.

[04:46:32] He's gonna get the wrappers this time, this time, right? He's gonna grab them.

[04:46:35] Still a level, well, half a level behind Sheo as he continues to clear through his camps.

[04:46:41] Looks like we're in for a slow early game.

[04:46:43] Shea, you can make this time.

[04:46:45] Ooh!

[04:46:46] Good trade there. Humanoid actually gets some damage back and gets the little Blanc clone out.

[04:46:50] But you'll see the level difference now makes Humanoid really uncomfortable.

[04:46:53] Having that extra bit of HP, and this all comes back from the fact that Saring did set up a slow push towards him,

[04:46:59] denying Humanoid about half a way to farm.

[04:47:01] That's how they ulti top, and Nako getting some big damage under Tracin,

[04:47:05] but Tracin just bathmakers to safety and gets out of there.

[04:47:10] But the goal from that Nako is to just try and keep this top lane as...

[04:47:14] Well, I guess oppressed is kind of the word that I was thinking of,

[04:47:17] where he just wants to deny him as much farm as possible.

[04:47:19] Now the threat of a dive is real, something that Tracen has to be cautious of.

[04:47:22] Maybe the proxy will start here.

[04:47:24] Now there's one sliced and he will proxy the wave behind the turret.

[04:47:28] Tracen will get as many of those as he can under the turret as...

[04:47:31] Linsus and Shale will see each other on the bottom side of the rift.

[04:47:35] And just wave as, uh...

[04:47:37] Maybe actually, yeah, Shale is walking up. Nope, never mind.

[04:47:40] Yep, these waves walk away.

[04:47:43] Linsus completes the back and will pick up the tunneler.

[04:47:46] So a little more in the inventory right now as she will actually look at the dragon

[04:47:51] Yeah, I don't think that by far to get a full ticket past this they call is a little bit more scaling with both Ezreal and Zia

[04:47:58] disease

[04:47:59] Early spike is also delayed by the fact that he went early not magic and told to buy a little bit more magic resistance

[04:48:04] It's responsible of all and so heretics take advantage of the other crowd that they have involved in meds

[04:48:10] Very nice stuff for them

[04:48:12] And now it's gonna be a trade of objectives dragon secured and the grub started off by a linsus

[04:48:18] Seren takes a chunk of damage from humanoid as the enchanted crystal arrow coming from downtown and it lands on to humanoid

[04:48:25] Seren does another change, but he's got the backup of Shai-O first blood into the cataclysm

[04:48:29] Okay, so a bit of inspiration from G2 there

[04:48:32] flashbacks to when caps calls to the arrow mid and then exactly the same place from ice as well

[04:48:38] Ice throws it down from that tier 3 tower, connects onto humanoid. He doesn't flash respond in time,

[04:48:44] meaning that they end up securing first blood. Well played there by Heritage.

[04:48:48] Yeah, and it's more gold onto the J4 who's already ahead of Linsus in the jungle clear.

[04:48:53] Karzy jumping onto ice, the title wave's coming out. Ice is able to sidestep it into the true shot barrage,

[04:48:58] but saves flash, saves cleanse, and gets out of there.

[04:49:01] Okay, but the wave's in a good spot for Karzy now, so pushing towards them.

[04:49:05] Even though there is damage done to these minions, I think they should still go the way of Kha'Zi, so this amount of farm is going to be denied away from Ice.

[04:49:13] He's going to help close that gold gap just a little bit.

[04:49:16] There's a little more trunk on Humanoid.

[04:49:20] And Boneplating, helping Humanoid stay safe and healthy in this lane, and it's actually close to half health, so you've got to be careful.

[04:49:28] The block you kind of play as a poke champion, but Zera is able to answer it back in quick bursts.

[04:49:34] Kind of playing around your electrocute cooldowns, so you're not able to find as many of those.

[04:49:40] As Linsus has the Grand Starfall available, he's on vision.

[04:49:44] There's two wards in his jungle, spotting out exactly where he is, so Ice and Lay are very safe, right?

[04:49:49] Absolutely.

[04:49:52] Shares even coming, coming down to hover.

[04:49:58] 11 minutes we've had one gale drink. Yeah, it's gonna be one of those ones. Yeah, you know a J4 or Pantheon I expect

[04:50:05] Yeah, I do but this is like the pros and cons of Europe

[04:50:08] It's uh, sometimes it do be like this my friends sometimes it do be like this

[04:50:12] You know what sometimes a nice tranquil game of League of Legends is what we need after that

[04:50:16] That's no way you're still this balls because I was still some like a little

[04:50:21] Yeah, I feel like you need to learn the British way of stock hasn't enough and you ain't getting this cowboy down

[04:50:26] That is lovely the legends something every time I go to America your customer service everyone is so friendly mm-hmm as a Brits

[04:50:34] Makes me very uncomfortable

[04:50:36] Well, does it make you more comfortable to know that there's a dive happening bot side right now flash on the arrow from flash

[04:50:42] He throws up the title wave on the ceremony still rooted up by the chains

[04:50:45] Shado with another kill as way survives the dive on the turret is taking it up

[04:50:51] Karzy's trying to stay alive as Linsus through his body down with the grand starfall has the way to play with

[04:50:56] Saren goes into the passive has the mimic office humanoid's now coming down shows trying to get out of there with the

[04:51:02] On-Core flash by Linsus

[04:51:03] Karzy takes down way

[04:51:05] Humanoid with a shuffle on the ice, pushes away to Linsus who will fall into double kill that Karzy

[04:51:12] As Shaeo and Saren still trying to get out to get on the humanoid instead though as Karzy knocked back on the wrong side of the

[04:51:18] Cataclysm shale with his third kill and team heretics pull off a crazy dive

[04:51:25] But it might not be over cause he's still looking for it against over the wall. This is always out of there

[04:51:29] So crazy with the follow-up shut down gold under the Ezreal

[04:51:36] What is happening?

[04:51:38] Three kills for three all we have to do is complain that it nothing happened in the

[04:51:43] One minute and then a lot of this happened. You know what you're on the sun, baby.

[04:51:47] Okay, Karzy, you're on a ward. Karzy, you're on a ward.

[04:51:49] Shayok, go base, bro. Just go. Let's call it quits. Everyone is to go home.

[04:51:52] So the dive onto Vitality's bot lane starts off promising.

[04:51:56] Fleshy and Karzy separate themselves.

[04:51:59] Karzy, I think, does the right thing of just turning his attention onto Wei

[04:52:03] and clearing out the wave as quickly as possible.

[04:52:05] Now, Heretics is divided. It's a two on one side and two on the other.

[04:52:09] But Bot lane of Heretics can't get involved in this scourmage.

[04:52:12] So if Vitality created another advantage, I like the idea here from Shale, the coordination is good.

[04:52:16] But Karzy, great target focus, connects the EQ, connects another Q onto Ice, gets himself a double kill.

[04:52:24] But now, Humorite's like, uh-oh, I don't know if we have the damage anymore, Shale gets a heal back.

[04:52:29] I believe from the Sundered Sky.

[04:52:31] Uh, and then, and then at this point, you think, okay, the fight's over, but they interrupt Saren's back.

[04:52:37] Oh, speaking of Saren right now, big chunk of the Saren.

[04:52:39] He's gonna get a beach on top.

[04:52:40] Look at Kha'Zee!

[04:52:41] Like, he now gets 3-0-0 Trinity Force finished!

[04:52:45] Yeah, that's a bit of an accelerated Ezreal right there.

[04:52:49] Oh my goodness!

[04:52:50] That was cute.

[04:52:51] Well, that was two enhanced queues.

[04:52:54] And she shot Braj.

[04:52:55] My goodness.

[04:52:56] Yeah, so Ezreal is now...

[04:52:59] Again, what do we say?

[04:53:01] Um...

[04:53:02] What do you...

[04:53:03] Am I supposed to know this one?

[04:53:04] A problem.

[04:53:05] A problem?

[04:53:06] I thought I told you that.

[04:53:07] You did.

[04:53:08] That's on me. It's all good. I'm learning. I'm getting there. It's okay. I mean like medic probably wouldn't have got it either.

[04:53:13] There's no need to feel any better.

[04:53:14] There are mysterious and an enigma as Fleshy throws at the ultimate.

[04:53:18] Ohhhh! Lacking the castle to stand with the kill, credit card-y.

[04:53:21] Arcane shifts over the wall. By the way, it was not enough for Fleshy to live, and Team Herodix finds a pig right at the dragon.

[04:53:27] You know, there is a point at which overkill probably needs to be used.

[04:53:31] That would be one of those situations.

[04:53:33] Like, like, not because of that, they, you know what I mean?

[04:53:36] Like, they throw a lot to kill Flashy.

[04:53:39] They wanted to get that kill on the board, and they will.

[04:53:42] Uh, I think when you go fishing with Dynamite, you know, it's like, you know...

[04:53:45] You need that much firepower.

[04:53:47] Yeah, I mean, yeah, the Dynamite came through his ultimate when he slammed down.

[04:53:52] Yeah.

[04:53:53] But it does get them a pick, and it's gonna get them a drag,

[04:53:56] and most likely, Linsus is hovering around,

[04:53:58] Yeah.

[04:53:59] ...flagging drags, threatens, lends this away, and that is a secured second rate for team

[04:54:03] heretics.

[04:54:04] Yeah, I mean, ultimately it works out for heretics.

[04:54:06] They bounce right back at themselves to kill, get themselves to drag it, looking very comfy.

[04:54:10] Meanwhile, check in on top lane.

[04:54:12] That small CS lead has grown to 20.

[04:54:16] And because of all the plates that Knackknock has been hit, that tower's almost dead.

[04:54:20] Yup, he has single-handedly almost secured that tower.

[04:54:24] The TP's gonna come back in.

[04:54:25] I mean, this wave isn't gonna be enough to secure the tower, that's for sure.

[04:54:28] Now NaNaKa knows he has a TP Advancing, but there's no Dragon to play full, so he's unlikely to use it.

[04:54:33] Didn't need it, had it available for the Dragon, but now he can probably just use it to come back to lane if he wants to.

[04:54:38] No then, they're swapping it up. They're gonna send these here up top.

[04:54:41] They wanna have the TP Advancing for Herald.

[04:54:44] So he can go to bot, he can catch that wave, he can start chipping away at that tower. That's hooked up. The damage is already done, right?

[04:54:49] Also, it's all armor on Tracin as Linsus finds Seren, gives a big chunk onto him.

[04:54:54] Tracin has so much armor, no magic resist.

[04:54:57] I don't know, he will be able to do damage.

[04:54:59] Hit spot left.

[04:55:00] Crossy throws out the title wave, lands on a share, falls into the Akra prison, but the arrow lands on the lintess.

[04:55:05] He cannot follow up, so nobody goes down on either side.

[04:55:09] It's a exchange of some ultimate cooldowns.

[04:55:13] It's the arrow for the title wave essentially, and the Herald's not even going to be claimed on either side, so...

[04:55:18] I think my time to test each other.

[04:55:19] Let's start this one off though. They now have an ultimate advantage.

[04:55:22] Oh, I say that. Fleshy ice.

[04:55:24] Yeah, okay, maybe not as much advantage as I thought.

[04:55:26] Shave still has his, the fight for the midway continues, and the right to his boxy, yep, of course he is.

[04:55:32] 1.2k the goal lead now for Knak-Knakos, he continues to do his thing on the sideline.

[04:55:37] So I think Knak-Knakos calms this game, well guys, is Ash's flash off?

[04:55:42] Because if the answer is no, I think he becomes a man of focus.

[04:55:48] He has one target he needs to deal with, and he's able to get onto them,

[04:55:52] But right now the target is at 1v2 as Anak Nakko finds himself with both solo laners.

[04:55:57] He's in some trouble, all out and over the wall, under the turret.

[04:56:01] He's still trying to survive, but cannot.

[04:56:04] The turret shot will be enough, Vitality will trade their top laner for the Herald.

[04:56:08] Yeah, I don't think he's getting out of that one.

[04:56:10] He doesn't bother wasting his flash.

[04:56:11] They give the kill over to Tracin.

[04:56:13] He's going to close that gold gap ever so slightly.

[04:56:16] The consequence of this is Top Wave was pushed heavily.

[04:56:19] The top tower was secured by Vitality.

[04:56:21] They also got a plate in the top lane so a nice gold injection for humanoid

[04:56:25] He's gonna be pretty happy with that as you can see he's now looking like a Ryalise second item

[04:56:32] Meanwhile the bot wave is gonna be pushed in and notice again

[04:56:35] They're keeping humanoid into that matchup very likely do what you were saying earlier

[04:56:39] He's limited magic resistance

[04:56:41] Human I just feels like he's about a matchup into this

[04:56:44] Kasate. And Tracin got even more armor. You got a cloth armor on top of what he

[04:56:49] already had. So he's definitely not indexing towards that matchup. He's gonna

[04:56:53] go for a reset. We saw this happen before where the moment they saw the Azir,

[04:56:56] they swapped him back bot side, sent Saren top. It seems like they're gonna do the

[04:57:00] same thing right now as both Saren and Tracin are going for their resets. And

[04:57:03] yep, the old bot side into the bottom side. Saren's heading to the top side.

[04:57:07] This time around though, no neutral objectives for a minute and 50. That's

[04:57:11] the next dragon will come up so not much to fight over in the current game state. Slightly favors

[04:57:16] heretics in the gold department but pretty much all that's just shale. It's two item J4,

[04:57:21] he's been the benefactor of a lot of the kills for this team.

[04:57:26] Okay so as we kind of enter this control state, both teams are desperately trying to get as

[04:57:32] close to that second item finish as possible. Once they've got it that dragon can test obviously

[04:57:37] As you were highlighting, gonna be the most important thing. They haven't really leveraged Nanknako's TP at all.

[04:57:42] So remember that Tracin' TP to top, they had a TP advantage, Nanknako wasn't really able to use it, in part because of his death.

[04:57:48] I mean they got the Herald anyway, the game plan was probably we go Herald, you then TP.

[04:57:52] So I guess you could argue a bit of a mistake there from Nanknako to even be that deep when the game plan should have been.

[04:57:57] You have TP advantage, can you keep him bot lane and then just TP at those when we start Herald.

[04:58:01] But at the end of the day, they get the objective that they wanted.

[04:58:05] Ceren, goes for a bit of a trade as that fault tower becomes...

[04:58:08] What humanoid is eyeing up right now?

[04:58:10] Yeah, even though Team Erics have that slight gold lead, it still feels like vitality of the other ones hunting.

[04:58:16] Despite the fact that Shio has a gold lead and he is on the J4, I've seen more kind of proactive looks here from Linsus, from Nak Nakko.

[04:58:25] I mean a lot of that Asia's Nak Nakko being a thorn in the side lane.

[04:58:28] Even here like Karzy's able to push another wave mid and get a plate for himself dragons coming up now in

[04:58:33] 25 seconds time as we see a reset from fleshy

[04:58:36] This is the last moment to really reset and spend your gold if you haven't in your pocket

[04:58:40] So Karzy will look to do the same

[04:58:42] Try a 15 though Karzy might not actually be up to contested paratix it work it right away

[04:58:48] What I like he's one. Oh, he wants to pickaxe just before the fight. Okay, sure

[04:58:53] So he just wants that extra bit of damage

[04:58:55] damage, makes sense.

[04:58:57] Alright, he's got now the upgraded Muramana.

[04:58:59] Fun fact, the way I always remember it is

[04:59:02] Muramana needs more mana.

[04:59:04] More mana.

[04:59:05] Even more than the mana needed.

[04:59:07] Exactly.

[04:59:08] Which is...

[04:59:10] We'll get back to that.

[04:59:11] We're going to have the Lincest as he has the

[04:59:13] Aegis Assault trying to tank it up, but the

[04:59:15] Aeroland's Tracin gets the kill

[04:59:17] and Team Heretics

[04:59:19] make quick work of Lincest's

[04:59:21] in the jungle.

[04:59:22] Nacknacko has now drawn up with the team, but the dragon's already down.

[04:59:25] Team Heretic's heavy 5v4, Nacknacko's big, but he can't buy infinite space for the team.

[04:59:30] His health bar is going down, and Team Heretic will get the objective and walk away.

[04:59:35] Yeah, I mean, the Pantheon did not get to move.

[04:59:38] The chain CC that went on to Linsus made it impossible for him to do much outside of

[04:59:44] throw off his shield to mitigate some of the damage it was coming through from Heretic's.

[04:59:48] They put themselves on sole point and have been driving this game forward pretty much since the very start

[04:59:53] There was a bit of a fumble where Karzzy got a triple kill, but that really hasn't amounted to much and vitality

[05:00:00] They're being kind of they're being kind of extremely well. Magmakko takes a chunk of his HP bar

[05:00:07] That's Saren finds a nice trade. We look we go back into the replay though and watch lintas. He's the long face checking

[05:00:11] He takes a chunk of damage, changes CC, CC, CC, CC, doesn't get to move at all.

[05:00:18] And with the general gone, no threat of a smile, even if Vitality's ready to fight, they just don't have anything.

[05:00:23] They don't have the resources. And again, we found ourselves in a situation where Ash Seraphine.

[05:00:27] It's just...it's annoying. It's so oppressive.

[05:00:31] I mean, you got the Pantheon Shield for like 1.5 seconds, whatever the total channel time of it is.

[05:00:36] And then he just dies immediately after the title will come out here, Team Heretics.

[05:00:40] Not quite able to crack that outer turret in the mid lane.

[05:00:44] They're close.

[05:00:46] Yeah, it's just so hard to actually deal with the amount of CC chain our team heretics' side.

[05:00:50] They've been playing a very clean game so far, and it's looking better than things were last summer.

[05:00:55] And they ended, you know, locking pretty well in terms of, you know, the best of ones.

[05:01:00] They made playoffs, which a lot of people didn't expect.

[05:01:02] Yeah, but then they did. The big story for this team was that one roster change in the bot lane, you know,

[05:01:07] way coming in for Stend. But then we have this quote from Hidan. We have the roster that we want,

[05:01:12] both short-term and long-term. And they were talking about the difference of like,

[05:01:15] you know, they want to commit to a long-term roster. But when there's clear issues at their

[05:01:19] scene, they need to patch those up. So a lot of people are confused to see a roster change for

[05:01:24] this roster. I mean, the only roster change as well. I mean, so far in this game, it's

[05:01:29] looking promising for sure. Let's see if they can close this one out, though. Often on

[05:01:34] share rosters and even last year, a lot of the conversation for share was like it felt like he is the lifeblood of heretics and back when he played on

[05:01:42] EDS, we saw that he's a little bit more of a quiet force, but he was super consistent. I think we got to see how much of an impact he has on a team last year

[05:01:50] also when he was going to surrender by younger players. I mean the conversation of him even being MVP came up just because of how impactful he was.

[05:01:58] Wow, but yeah, this year it's the magic, the final week of the best of ones.

[05:02:05] They kind of did the run that lost the tones needed to do.

[05:02:09] They just needed to win all of their games

[05:02:12] to make it to playoffs, and that's exactly what they did and born around.

[05:02:15] Yeah, credit. Yeah, credit to them and making us lost the change so far.

[05:02:20] And way has been a great addition.

[05:02:22] And one of the big things that we were talking about was like in laning phase,

[05:02:24] but I'd say out of laning phase, he's looked fantastic as well.

[05:02:27] We even have I believe that this is the highest first blood participation percentage in the league so far now

[05:02:34] It's only weak one right like it's like one series not many games have been played

[05:02:38] But still like they wanted to upgrade the firepower of the bot lane for a laning phase

[05:02:43] in particular

[05:02:44] And if way is also able to kind of synergize with the team when it comes to these dragon setups

[05:02:49] You know, he's the one that landed the first CC on the lenses when he face checked there and then everybody followed up on it

[05:02:54] so

[05:02:55] Yeah, Team Aertex looking like a solid team right now. They're up in gold. They have the dragon control again as

[05:03:01] Fleshy just gets chunked out

[05:03:03] Will survive with his life for now

[05:03:05] But then if you have team till that dragon soul fight vitality

[05:03:09] You're gonna have to find a way to get in there and it's just so difficult when you have LeBlanc

[05:03:13] You have the ash there if you need to deal with

[05:03:16] Not many ways that they can approach if they don't have any vision down

[05:03:21] You know what I'm really looking forward to should hard six with this game

[05:03:25] Um, you can just say no, you don't have to, there's not a trick question, you can just say no.

[05:03:32] I thought this was another test.

[05:03:33] No, it's not a test, I'm just saying, do you know what I'll be really excited for when it's

[05:03:37] Heretics with this game?

[05:03:38] No, I don't really, what would they be really excited for?

[05:03:40] The analysts sound to justify how they thought that Vitality had a better call.

[05:03:44] Oh, that's a good one.

[05:03:45] Didn't you also?

[05:03:46] No, I'm pretty sure I said Heretics, I think had the spirit call.

[05:03:50] You did say you're a contrarian.

[05:03:52] Yeah.

[05:03:53] really summarize the point that you're trying to play both sides as I would say

[05:03:57] always come out of that one could say that I like to ignite flames to

[05:04:01] antagonize all rage bait perhaps. Rage bait is the accurate description for that one.

[05:04:06] It's not going to find himself without a lot of backup through Seren and Shanier

[05:04:11] Violinsis's Hall of Rain dominance popped early for Nak Nakko as he was

[05:04:16] worried about the all-in but that means no dominance now for the dragon

[05:04:19] You find it hasn't spawned yet.

[05:04:21] Karzy just does zero damage to Shale.

[05:04:23] That was quite funny.

[05:04:25] Cause he just, he landed every single Q

[05:04:27] and Karzy does zero damage.

[05:04:29] And there's the arrow onto Karzy.

[05:04:30] Instant cleanse.

[05:04:32] Arcane shift over the wall.

[05:04:33] Teleporting flank ward for Saren

[05:04:35] as the LeBlanc has an angle right now.

[05:04:38] And remember, Knock Knock No Dominus available.

[05:04:40] So they're not even halfway up.

[05:04:42] Cool down.

[05:04:43] So team Erics have a big window up strength.

[05:04:45] Saren jumps over, but he goes right back

[05:04:46] and the Knock Knock goes, waiting.

[05:04:47] Arms, the Renekton.

[05:04:49] Shredding through the LeBlanc and pushing Saren back completely turned the dynamics of this fight as vitality now

[05:04:58] Just don't hit the dragon Shayo is hovering in there, but his team's not on neither Tracin has now tagged in for knock knock

[05:05:03] But he's also low on health. So now team heirs takes you to find their angle. Do they go for the dragon?

[05:05:08] Do they go for the knock knock flank? They're losing both sides, but they almost take down lenses as

[05:05:13] The pantheon chunks all the way down

[05:05:16] has the ultimate available still to look for a reset but instead it's a flash

[05:05:20] from way lands the anchor on the one but the true shopperage huge chunk on a

[05:05:25] serum meanwhile the one you are not not gonna takes it Tracin shut down

[05:05:29] Shaios out of there linsons stuck around for the dragon and vitality get

[05:05:35] the objective in the fight my goodness in the war of attrition it is

[05:05:40] vitality that come out on top I think Tracin made a mistake choosing to

[05:05:45] Isolate Nak Nakko and say let's play the 1v1 because the fight was so long Nak Nakko's ult came back

[05:05:52] It came back. So in the isolated 1v1 Nak Nakko had the edge

[05:05:57] I mean when you pop that ulti from tracing. Yes, you do more damage, but you reduce those resistances

[05:06:02] You make it easier for him to kill you and so Nak Nakko walks through this

[05:06:06] Okay, and the moment tracing is gone then the front line disappears

[05:06:09] So keep your eyes on tracing. He's already at 50% HP so he throws out the ultimate

[05:06:13] And he's saying, you know what? This is fine. Misses a couple of skill shots, gets the shield.

[05:06:17] Polk continues to come down, but now the Dominus is going to come back up soon.

[05:06:21] Magnaka's running away. If it comes isolated, he thinks he's got the win here.

[05:06:25] He's buying time and there's the Dominus. Now he knows that he's going to win.

[05:06:28] Now flashes in, gets the kill. Mimol on the other side of the fight,

[05:06:32] with him gone, that's the go signal. The Polk that's landing from Kazim's humanoid

[05:06:37] was enough to get Seren very low. Ice was being chipped apart,

[05:06:41] but it's fascinating that in this war of like back and forth like the thing is you might be wondering

[05:06:47] why doesn't she just commit to the fight who who does he commit on to because you've got the jump

[05:06:52] away from there so you've got the dash away from the azir you've got the ulti with the azir as well

[05:06:57] like it's not that easy then to just pick a target and engage which is why you've been

[05:07:01] seeing them focus a lot on the on the nami especially yeah fleshy uh has been chunks

[05:07:06] but not died in a lot of those attempts and you saw his flash and heal available so

[05:07:11] He's been playing it pretty well and the other targets like you had highlighted have so much mobility

[05:07:16] But to me it's just still the knock knock oh show it comes down to that so often

[05:07:20] You did but when the one going on the side now team heretics are going for the Baron

[05:07:23] Oh, there's no he's on the bottom wave shugging that in has a teleport will start to channel in now knock knock

[05:07:27] Oh shown by sarin

[05:07:29] Under half health has the dominance available as the title wave will not connect pops the dominance team heretics look to turn

[05:07:35] but knock knock, they're just dancing around them.

[05:07:36] Saren has to flash away as Tracin pathmakers back to safety.

[05:07:39] The arrow goes wide.

[05:07:41] Humanoid not touched by that one

[05:07:42] as the two shot brought from Karzy

[05:07:43] does big damage to the back line.

[05:07:45] Team Heretic's chunked low, but the Baron is still outgrown.

[05:07:49] Vitality earned the pit.

[05:07:51] Limsis can look for the Baron steal

[05:07:53] as Shai-O goes into the Guardian Angel.

[05:07:55] Vitality pushed out Team Heretic's.

[05:07:58] Get the Baron, kill Shai-O, Karzy out of rampage,

[05:08:02] and by Vitality walk away with the bomb.

[05:08:04] My goodness, it feels as though both teams are hitting each other, but vitality's HP bars are largely staying the same

[05:08:11] Whereas heretics just keeps going down

[05:08:14] Baron secured for vitality and they're looking good

[05:08:20] No, no, does this count as a curse? How many counts does it count? Oh flash from ice over

[05:08:26] Humanoid shuffle is able to outplay that one. Trujell Barrage will land. Oh, Humanoid goes down

[05:08:31] Saren had the damage for team heretics smooth moves from ice right there

[05:08:36] So you may don't know this but she really has a big orientation. Yeah, maybe for dying on side lanes

[05:08:41] Okay, but sometimes he does just die

[05:08:45] So a bit of an overambitious play that

[05:08:49] Imagine that's what he was thinking. They was like, I'm sure he wasn't thinking. Oh, he's gonna flash this

[05:08:54] He was probably thinking. Oh, this is gonna look that actually we styping team

[05:08:57] Let's look at the back of the fight, Nacnaco takes a chunk of damage, he's trying to draw out what resources he can, nice damage, connecting him under Seren.

[05:09:07] The poke from Karaj is what you need to keep your eyes on, he connects it onto three, good chip damage initially, Seren's getting outranged by Shimanoid who continues to chip away at their HP bar.

[05:09:16] Nakamura Linz is trying to tank aggro. Good stun on Deseret as well, and then Shibunoi on the side, just using the soldiers to chip away.

[05:09:26] And these very long fights, they're just going the way of vitality because their damage is landing.

[05:09:31] Yeah, that was ideal positioning for Inazir. He's like, okay, the Kassante and the J4 are not looking at me, and I can just free fire on them.

[05:09:39] And look at that gold graph. It was in heretics control until it wasn't.

[05:09:45] And, Vettius, what was that you were saying about which team composition you favored?

[05:09:49] Are we... are we...

[05:09:50] As I said, Vitality's called.

[05:09:52] Yeah, that's what we said.

[05:09:53] I actually think you...

[05:09:54] You did say that.

[05:09:55] Yeah, I did say that.

[05:09:56] So...

[05:09:57] Right now, I know the analysts are gonna be really happy, because how come if the game

[05:10:03] meant that they were right?

[05:10:05] Yeah.

[05:10:06] Assuming Vitality win.

[05:10:07] Which they haven't done yet.

[05:10:09] If I've learned anything about the few LEC games I've cast, it's that I have

[05:10:13] no idea who's game it is.

[05:10:15] The game is not over till the Nexus falls, my friend.

[05:10:17] Honestly, SK could show up in the windows here.

[05:10:22] I didn't think it could happen.

[05:10:24] It could happen here.

[05:10:25] Yeah, you know what, you know what?

[05:10:28] I believe it.

[05:10:29] With a steel chair.

[05:10:30] Yeah.

[05:10:31] You're leaving me here.

[05:10:32] You're causing a lot of this.

[05:10:34] OK, that goes out now, and who's fault was that?

[05:10:38] Was that fleshy using his ulti a little bit too

[05:10:42] legally? Or was that hand paranoid that Kossy's gonna kill himself?

[05:10:46] Uh, was that, which one was that?

[05:10:49] Maybe a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B.

[05:10:51] As humanoid, we'll jump out of Saren, who TP'd to the top lane.

[05:10:54] So this was Dragon's solo team.

[05:10:56] Airdex clearly were not confident in their setup because they TP'd Saren up to get

[05:10:59] a turret instead.

[05:11:00] So they caught a pro second arrow and tower without getting chipped away out.

[05:11:05] Like the poke of Ezreal plus Aziah, I mean, it's so annoying.

[05:11:10] Have you just got it?

[05:11:11] He just assaults the arrow, will not land on the pantheon, he'll get on the fleshy and

[05:11:15] sets it, keeps going forward, Saren on the killing spree, Shaker, Linsus is down, fleshy

[05:11:21] did survive, flash and heal, but that's a pick for Team Heretics.

[05:11:26] Here's what I'll say.

[05:11:28] Kurs is unreal.

[05:11:29] Now here's what you'll say.

[05:11:30] Team Heretics' comp is really good.

[05:11:32] I was tempted.

[05:11:33] No, but I won't say that.

[05:11:34] Kurs is unreal.

[05:11:35] This is not real

[05:11:37] Possessing supernatural abilities that I'm willing to believe oh, okay

[05:11:41] I'm starting to come around it

[05:11:42] This is your like the the first 30 minutes in the movie where you're starting to like discover your powers

[05:11:47] You're like wait what I can do that. Yeah, I mean, let's test it. Do you ever get that million dollars earlier?

[05:11:55] Nice try though, that's um

[05:11:57] Let's say a million euros this American brain surely from this position. There's no way if I talk to come this

[05:12:05] Surely

[05:12:07] I mean, let's do it. Let's do the test. Let's do it. Let's do it. It is impossible for Vitality to lose this game

[05:12:15] I think so

[05:12:16] There are chances of losing this game. There's none of lockdown on the Azea and the edge real

[05:12:21] It doesn't matter that humanoid is 0-3. He has a death cap. Like it just doesn't like they call him.

[05:12:25] Vitality's chances of losing this game are faker than a politician on the campaign trail. It's impossible. Sure

[05:12:33] That doesn't really mean much as much here in the Europe, but I am quite familiar with America politics, so I don't have one.

[05:12:41] A lot of promises to make.

[05:12:44] Team Heretics have the wave in the mid lane moving out, and again, Seren is playing a great game here, 3-1-6 on the block.

[05:12:51] You jump on the curtain, put your jump down!

[05:12:54] Hang on. One champ is supposed to do that to the other champ, and I feel like the bad did not go the way I thought it was going to.

[05:13:01] Yeah, he hits Saren with a steel chair. That's what he just did. Usually when a

[05:13:06] blonde jumps underneath a carry, that's bad news for a carry.

[05:13:09] Generally, but it turns out that that's not the case when it comes to Kazi.

[05:13:13] He's the guy that says who's trapped in here with who. That's it.

[05:13:20] That's why Fleshy throws out the title right away, so that's why he never goes to that guy.

[05:13:26] You're right, you're completely right.

[05:13:28] Ah, yeah, that's true.

[05:13:30] But again, so far, things looking good for Vitality.

[05:13:34] Coldly he's a monstrous, but we've said this too many times today, it doesn't really matter.

[05:13:39] He just needs to look at the items to be completely honest with you.

[05:13:41] So let's do a quick inventory, because Baron's up in 10 seconds, we don't have a lot of time here.

[05:13:45] Currently, Saren does not have the death cap completed, so it's still working towards that third item.

[05:13:50] Humanoid went for an earlier death cap.

[05:13:52] Oh, I see.

[05:13:54] Yeah, four times per turn, yeah. Oh, so yes, if he's able to finish that, he's well ahead of humanoid in that department.

[05:14:01] But he's quite close to Voidstaff. They're probably about the similar sort of gold in terms of completing both those items.

[05:14:08] Alright, now Team Heritage, control the access point to the Baron. Vitaliy is trying to hit this wave.

[05:14:13] Ice is entering it in kind.

[05:14:15] Bro, not gonna blow it on God.

[05:14:18] And a negatron.

[05:14:20] And a negatron.

[05:14:20] Does Renekton ult scale with AP?

[05:14:22] It does, right?

[05:14:23] I'm pretty sure it does.

[05:14:24] I'm sure.

[05:14:25] I think it does.

[05:14:25] I'm pretty sure it scales with AP,

[05:14:26] and it's also based off of Gilmax's health, I think.

[05:14:29] A lot of champions have really odd AP scaling.

[05:14:32] She's kind of hidden in their kit somewhere.

[05:14:34] That's why Renekton.

[05:14:35] I think the bigger part is that you're going for the stasis.

[05:14:37] Knock, knock, who's got the GA plus the secret armguard.

[05:14:41] This guy just always entertains

[05:14:44] with how he plays top lane as Saren gets stunned up here.

[05:14:46] Oh, I see Saren.

[05:14:48] Plus his ult.

[05:14:48] He is doing what you need to do on LeBlanc, which is you sit in fog, you go over the wall, trunk someone out, duck back.

[05:14:53] That every time he goes over the wall, he comes back and he has horror stories to tell his team.

[05:14:58] You don't go in there guys.

[05:14:59] It's just so, bro. It's not safe.

[05:15:01] It's not safe at all.

[05:15:04] The dark is scary and full of terrors.

[05:15:06] Yeah.

[05:15:07] And, uh...

[05:15:08] You know, this is a recess from DNA heretics, but...

[05:15:10] Vitality are not gonna go right for the Baron.

[05:15:13] I just had this image of a cartoon in my head of LeBlanc like, I'll go over and check what's happening.

[05:15:17] Blinks blinks back bruises all over the place. No, it's bad. I can start words. It's like I'm like charge

[05:15:25] Yeah, right dragon here we go. Okay, thanks first on the soul. They do have that one deep wards

[05:15:31] Right back here for potential TP flying and we do have Saren again going in to the dark and scary night

[05:15:39] As he's gonna have to reset once again has the teleport available to jump back towards the dragon

[05:15:44] Sight stepping every skill shop right now console set that one. Oh good damage from ice

[05:15:48] You know trying to get that broke down

[05:15:50] And a pepper the front line as much as you can teleport in from seren will not have another opportunity to do that

[05:15:56] Not gonna press tp to go five feet upwards

[05:16:01] All right Tracin controlling the banana brush if team heretics still have access point on the river here

[05:16:06] But the sound of the drag to shop large will only hit onto Tracin is not back a jump to the seren a splash

[05:16:10] Flash as a block to turn away from land.

[05:16:12] Knock, knock, go flashes, gets on the way.

[05:16:14] Knock, knock, go goes into the stasis.

[05:16:16] And Vitality's front-liner is just 1v4

[05:16:19] by an infinite space for Vitality.

[05:16:22] Garden Angel, paw, team heritage,

[05:16:24] instant stun him out of it,

[05:16:26] but Income learns this to save his top laner's life.

[05:16:29] Job's done. Get your man out of there.

[05:16:31] Vitality!

[05:16:33] Control the dragon fight

[05:16:35] and earn themselves the soul.

[05:16:37] Beautiful play by Knock, Knock.

[05:16:39] Actually, that's only their third.

[05:16:41] They go three to three.

[05:16:43] Nuck Nucko.

[05:16:44] I mean, it ends up being a trade of GA's,

[05:16:46] because Shairo does a similar thing

[05:16:48] on the other side of the fight.

[05:16:49] He dives in, he commits his GA,

[05:16:51] he commits the ultimate saying,

[05:16:53] I know I'm going to die, but I've got to buy space my teeth.

[05:16:55] Nuck Nucko finds a beautiful angle,

[05:16:57] flashes in, gets a ton of damage down.

[05:16:59] Shairo does something similar,

[05:17:00] but he pops almost immediately.

[05:17:02] Whereas it feels like Nuck Nucko

[05:17:04] is this immovable wall that does so much damage as well.

[05:17:07] Look, they're all half HP.

[05:17:09] They know the fight can't continue.

[05:17:11] And then Linsus comes in providing that shield,

[05:17:13] helping his top laner get away to safety.

[05:17:15] So look at the picture in picture.

[05:17:17] You'll see the Heretics making a smart call.

[05:17:19] They're gonna rush towards the Baron

[05:17:20] trying to take it before Faitazi can react.

[05:17:22] No all out for the Cassante.

[05:17:24] No on-court for the Seraphine,

[05:17:25] but they still have Cataclysm himself at Arrow.

[05:17:28] But Dodger gonna have to find a way to get in here.

[05:17:30] There goes out Insta-Cleds by Karzy,

[05:17:32] but Serah jumped on top of him.

[05:17:33] The Baron is secured.

[05:17:35] Shano picks out one up for Heretics,

[05:17:37] Once it jumps out of Trace and Nack Nacko, big chunk, but he stuns upstairs and they got him!

[05:17:41] LeBlanc's out of there, Trace is out of there, solo laners down!

[05:17:45] Heretics get the Baron, but at what cost?

[05:17:48] In comes Lincis with the grand starfall, double kill to Nack Nacko!

[05:17:53] You get the objective, but you gotta lose the game!

[05:17:56] Vitality with the ace!

[05:17:58] The alligator death roll was lethal under Seret as he got a foot too close to the angry alligator

[05:18:05] and Knacknacko shuts him down.

[05:18:08] Four members alive, they'll set their sights on the Nexus.

[05:18:10] The death timers are simply too long in a 40 minute game.

[05:18:15] Vitality just had to hold the line long enough.

[05:18:19] They don't need the Baron.

[05:18:20] They just need the team fight.

[05:18:22] GG, Vitality.

[05:18:24] Take game number one.

[05:18:26] Well, Knacknacko, he made his impact in the team fights.

[05:18:32] You could really see what he was able to do.

[05:18:34] And credit to the rest of them, like a very interesting game.

[05:18:38] Yeah.

[05:18:39] They saw the start.

[05:18:40] It was a lot about poke and very long drawn out fights.

[05:18:44] Not the craziest in terms of kills.

[05:18:46] I think Heretic said a lot of things right,

[05:18:47] but it did kind of feel as the game went on,

[05:18:49] Shayo really struggled to have an impact on that job.

[05:18:52] Yeah, they were able to get the objective,

[05:18:54] but again, it's about the game.

[05:18:56] We have a sidelined interview with Karzy and Shax.

[05:18:58] We do.

[05:18:59] Job's not done with Karzy.

[05:19:00] A game where it's not knock-knock-o,

[05:19:02] That carries the whole game, but it's actually kind of you. How did that happen?

[05:19:06] I mean, it's just my Ezreal, you know. I get this champ and I win.

[05:19:09] It's true. I've seen it before, but are you now finally going to win the whole match?

[05:19:14] I mean, game 2, game 3, let's see. I mean, we already had kind of harder draft this game,

[05:19:19] but we had no playoffs except for Nectal, so hopefully like more play will draft next game.

[05:19:24] Yes, go yell out pads. Bye, Karzy. Bye-bye. To a breakdown.

[05:19:28] Thank you so much, Shooks. As Carci walks by me here, I wanted to break down Carci's pretty

[05:19:35] phenomenal triple kill down he got in the bot lane, if you can get the clip up here. So, it's really

[05:19:41] interesting scenario where if we play it, you can see that Team Hredix are going for a dive

[05:19:46] on this bot lane. And Fleshy ends up getting zoned away from Carci, if you can pause right now.

[05:19:52] So Fleshy is quite cooked, right? He's going to get collapsed on by Shea on Stair and he

[05:19:56] He has no flash and now Karzy can make two decisions

[05:19:58] He could choose to try to help fleshy try to go on sarin and shale or

[05:20:03] He could choose to go for way and ice and he sees that way is super chunk

[05:20:07] So he ease forward gets a huge chunk on him cleanses

[05:20:10] But that gets ice chunk down as well and gets the tower charged and now

[05:20:14] Team Reddix can't actually go for this dive

[05:20:17] So with the backup of vitality coming in it allows now Karzy to play with the rest of the lineup to actually try

[05:20:23] to then make this fight happen. He gets some nice autos on the shale, he gets a really

[05:20:27] nice EQ on the way to take him down and then Humanoid and Linsus here doing a lot of work

[05:20:31] and Karse is just landing the crucial cues. So even though Humanoid ends up falling as

[05:20:37] well, Karse was really the unsung hero of this teamfight that allowed Vitality to

[05:20:41] get a lot of nice picks. And then if we could pause in here for one second, what's

[05:20:45] really cool here, this like a cool little thing, is Karse has no vision. This looks

[05:20:49] Not that impressive from the spectator POV, because we see everything, right?

[05:20:53] We see exactly where they're recalling, but from Karzy's POV, they could be right here.

[05:20:59] So if you play it now, you can see that Karzy warts the bush, and that's when he knows.

[05:21:03] Jarvan can't be there. That means LeBlanc has to be somewhere in the area.

[05:21:07] He eases over, flashes to get the kill, and Flesh is there to protect him,

[05:21:11] so Shale can't take him down as well. Overall, just a fantastic show of mechanics

[05:21:16] and decision making from Karzy, and we'll see what this series has in store for us as we head off to a quick break.

[05:21:46] Brother, brother, let me try.

[05:21:53] Wait, brother, let us break this instead, brother.

[05:22:06] Let's break this instead, brother.

[05:22:18] Have a break.

[05:22:19] Have a kick hack.

[05:22:23] What is this, brother?

[05:22:26] Perfection.

[05:22:27] Hm.

[05:22:28] Red Bull gives you wings.

[05:25:54] Started off by Alinsus

[05:25:56] Saren takes a chunk of damage from Humanoid as the Entranted Crystal Arrow coming from downtown

[05:26:00] And it lands onto Humanoid

[05:26:03] Saren doesn't have a chain, but he's got the backup of Sheo

[05:26:06] Sash is champion, nice

[05:26:10] I got the back of the ship

[05:26:11] I got the side of the ship

[05:26:13] Don't finish me, don't finish me

[05:26:14] Fight me, fight me, fight me

[05:26:16] I'm gonna jump, I'm gonna jump, I'm gonna jump

[05:26:18] I'm gonna flash, I'm gonna flash

[05:26:20] I'm gonna put Vitality in the 8th tier.

[05:26:31] 8th tier!

[05:26:32] I love the side, KC and Koi.

[05:26:34] I think I loved watching this Vitality play, oh I just want more games for them, they were

[05:26:38] by far the most entertaining.

[05:26:40] Entertaining, yes!

[05:26:41] Listen, Nacknako is the best pro player in the league and we've seen, now Nacknako

[05:26:46] seem like what bin did he's gonna analyze that he's gonna try to replicate that

[05:26:50] he's gonna have crazy counter picks it's gonna be beautiful I was really

[05:26:53] impressed by humanoid and carcy in versus I thought they leveled up

[05:26:57] beautifully I was pretty iffy on the humanoid signing in general but I feel

[05:27:01] like it brought such a vibe to the steam and you could see it in their

[05:27:04] macro that improved a lot I think for me for sure this team is making top four

[05:27:08] maybe even more. Wow. Okay, so you're just a fan. All you're telling me is that you're

[05:27:18] a fan of Karzy and Humanoid because of their mic checks? No, no, no, no. They're gameplay.

[05:27:24] Did you see like Humanoid split pushing, Humanoid Zoe, they just had so many good games.

[05:27:28] I mean Karzy had a ton of banger games. Yes, they are inconsistent. They are inconsistency

[05:27:33] the team but we are in inconsistency the league so I think they can really thrive in our environment.

[05:27:39] Yeah but no way you put them A tier because I would put them B. I would put them B tier.

[05:27:43] A and B tier it's pretty much the same thing. It's in the team. Sure you can put them at the

[05:27:47] bottom of A tier however you want. I have hope in them. I have faith. I mean I have faith in

[05:27:52] them as well you know but like again it's like my faith is either gonna like repay me with like

[05:27:58] you know a top three or a top four finish or like you know barely make playoffs kind of finish

[05:28:02] you know because it's just like how it is because like again knock knock was

[05:28:05] gonna be great and stuff and he's gonna get inspiration from Ben but I'm like I

[05:28:08] mean they're gonna have that time now to practice to level up they should have I

[05:28:12] hope they spent that time practicing and screaming no way I'm sure let's move on

[05:28:17] I'm not gonna lie didn't listen to anything those guys said because I am

[05:28:21] with trouble ink an official co-streamer for Vitality tell me your

[05:28:25] thoughts on that crazy game I mean you give Karzy as real you're just

[05:28:29] going to lose. This is what it is. You just slam knack knack on something that looks strong

[05:28:34] and he takes a lot of the attention because he did all the heavy lifting.

[05:28:36] It's funny because when I told you I was going to interview you after one of the games you

[05:28:39] said, do you want Streamer me or Analyst me? So do both. What is Streamer you think?

[05:28:43] Okay, we're just going to do all like team heretics should be a very easy series and

[05:28:49] Vedy, watch what you're saying on the microphone pretty please. Analyst trouble, we need

[05:28:53] better drafts.

[05:28:54] Okay, that seems to be a theme. What's going on?

[05:28:57] I feel like a lot of the time is with Fatality.

[05:28:59] I feel like we're going for comfort from what I'm seeing.

[05:29:01] So like the Azir B1 is a comfort to humanoid

[05:29:05] and then we just put the Pantheny,

[05:29:07] which as a duo is no very strong,

[05:29:08] but like for them is like the confident best champions, right?

[05:29:11] So I feel like for our second series

[05:29:13] or our second game rather,

[05:29:14] a lot of the B1s are gonna be gone

[05:29:17] and we're gonna have a more cohesive composition,

[05:29:19] hopefully.

[05:29:19] Oh yeah, does that mean that they will pull out

[05:29:22] another Jax or something of the like

[05:29:24] or how much do you wanna see that?

[05:29:25] because I feel like I love seeing Nak Nakko on Jax,

[05:29:28] even on Yasuo, I'm gonna say it,

[05:29:30] but sometimes it goes too deep, right?

[05:29:32] I feel like I go PTSD from both games,

[05:29:34] with Jax and the Yasuo game,

[05:29:35] both look so strong at the beginning.

[05:29:36] No, he's not been yet.

[05:29:38] He's not been yet, but he's getting there.

[05:29:39] I actually talked to him

[05:29:40] and I was like, you versus Bin at MSI.

[05:29:43] He said, hmm, don't know if we're there yet.

[05:29:45] And I was like, oh, you mean

[05:29:45] because Bin might not make it there.

[05:29:47] Oh. Right?

[05:29:48] So he's keeping it humble, he's keeping it humble.

[05:29:50] Okay, so paint me your dream draft

[05:29:52] for Vitality in this game too, then.

[05:29:53] Kinda. Okay, so I'm gonna

[05:29:55] go with Nartop, because Turkish Nart always hits different. I'm gonna go for OG, I was

[05:30:01] gonna say Viego for Lincest, but let's put him on something like a trundle, because I'm

[05:30:06] a big fan of trundle. He might complain whatever he wants, he's the goat. And for Kazi and

[05:30:11] Fleshy, we'll go Kalista, right now. Oh god, it's okay. You wanna distill your

[05:30:16] goat? Do you think he's recovering? Yeah, absolutely. I think he's getting back

[05:30:20] his spark for sure. I was a little bit disappointed. I wanted to see him Azir

[05:30:23] shuffle a little bit more. Like, needs to get a spark back at least.

[05:30:25] His play at Baron was insane, but he was high in the fight in half.

[05:30:28] It's true. That's true. Okay, any hot takes for the next game?

[05:30:32] Oh yeah, it's going to be a 23-minuteer.

[05:30:33] 23-minuteer? Easy. Peasy.

[05:30:35] Thank you so much. Have you been enjoying being a...

[05:30:37] Watch it, buddy. Have you been enjoying being a co-streamer for Vitali?

[05:30:40] I think it's kind of crazy.

[05:30:41] I mean, I'm losing it half of the time.

[05:30:44] I feel like I need to ask for a raise right here

[05:30:45] because I'm almost having heart attacks.

[05:30:47] It's like, winnable until it's not, and then it's winnable again, and then it's gone.

[05:30:50] Yeah, we've lost so many series that we were winning one zero and then we were winning the second game

[05:30:54] And then we got reversed with yeah, but this is gonna change this please. Okay

[05:30:57] You give me yankos vibes actually in the way you support vitality and he's oh, yeah, it's cool

[05:31:01] He supported so many different teams. That's true. He's a flip flopper. Just like Betty

[05:31:06] That is true that is completely true

[05:31:08] Yeah, and as I love being technically correct trouble did say it's gonna be a 23-minuteer

[05:31:15] She didn't say he was gonna win

[05:31:17] No, no, she did say the fan...

[05:31:20] The question was, the question was what any hot takes, and she said it's going to be a 23-minuteer.

[05:31:28] Was that analyst trouble answering that, or was that co-streamer trouble?

[05:31:31] It doesn't matter, because technically she'd never confirmed who was actually going to be winning the game in 23 minutes,

[05:31:36] which does mean that we potentially have a third game, and if Vitality lose in 23 minutes, just know who said that originally.

[05:31:45] originally. I'm pretty sure that everything that just came out of your mouth is exactly

[05:31:48] what she was hoping you wouldn't say when she was telling Venius why. I mean, yeah.

[05:31:53] What can I say? What we proved that game though was that I cannot curse teams. But technically

[05:31:59] you cursed both. No, not true. I'm pretty sure. I said with confidence there's no

[05:32:04] way Vitality can lose this game. You know what? That is true. That is true. And

[05:32:08] then they did not lose that game. If anything, it just proves that I'm incredibly intelligent.

[05:32:11] Are you not at the least disappointed that you don't have superpowers?

[05:32:17] No, I'm actually completely fine with that.

[05:32:19] Really?

[05:32:20] Because I'm so intelligent it's good to know that I am just a mortal man.

[05:32:23] So you'd be like the Tony Stark of the L.E.S.A. Tony Stark.

[05:32:27] You just need your brain and that broadcast.

[05:32:31] You're not doing this too much.

[05:32:33] Not only are you not going to shut me down at this point.

[05:32:35] No, I'm a yes man.

[05:32:37] Build this up.

[05:32:38] We need more pessimism.

[05:32:39] We need to predict the draft right now, because I know you can.

[05:32:43] I definitely can't.

[05:32:44] No!

[05:32:45] All right.

[05:32:46] Akali banned immediately, normally leads to Orianna, but we knew that Orianna would

[05:32:50] get banned.

[05:32:51] So Orianna, Azir, is normally why you banned away Akali.

[05:32:54] Maybe they were just worried because of what Saren has brought out already.

[05:32:58] So okay, the rumble first bait.

[05:33:00] That should not really be a surprise.

[05:33:01] I should have been able to predict that one.

[05:33:02] I was too busy looking up at what they played yesterday.

[05:33:04] You were distracted.

[05:33:05] I was.

[05:33:06] You would have gotten it. Rumble for Nagnako, carry of the team, and I like that the analysts made such a big point to show that Karzy was also a big reason, and the primary reason that they were able to get across the finish line in that last game.

[05:33:20] Nagnako, it was fun seeing him hold the line for so long, but it was Karzy doing all the damage. Now, Nagnako has something that can do a lot of damage himself in team fights as well, and it's going to be Lulu answer on the side of team heritage.

[05:33:31] I have been saying all year, teams need to pick Blitzcrank.

[05:33:38] I think it is...

[05:33:39] You mentioned Pyke earlier, don't you?

[05:33:40] I mentioned it all the time.

[05:33:41] I think it's so good into Lugumand.

[05:33:43] I genuinely think it's so good.

[05:33:45] She gets hooked in, she gets thrown in the air, and then she gets one shot.

[05:33:48] Fleshy does play hook champions.

[05:33:50] I remember casting him back in like Immortals Academy back in the day.

[05:33:53] And uh...

[05:33:54] I mean, they're not gonna do it.

[05:33:55] They're gonna pick like Koki Nami, or something.

[05:33:57] I mean, Nami's already gone.

[05:33:58] You can't pick Koki Nami.

[05:34:00] You can't go Ezreal Karma.

[05:34:01] Ezreal's gone. They can't do Ezreal Bard either.

[05:34:03] Ha ha! Fleshy, come on now.

[05:34:05] They're gonna go Yanarra, Milio.

[05:34:08] No. No.

[05:34:10] Well, it takes Yanarra from the Lulu, Milio.

[05:34:13] No, I mean, the Yanarra is a very sensible suggestion.

[05:34:16] You speak a lot of sense, but does the difference between what makes sense and what I want?

[05:34:22] Oh, true, true, true.

[05:34:23] Oh, they can do Caitlyn Bard.

[05:34:25] Damn it. Caitlyn Blyte's so good.

[05:34:27] That is so cool.

[05:34:29] We're gonna get Bod. I mean it's fine. It's like roaming. Yeah, I mean Bod's cool. Most played champion on my account

[05:34:34] Yeah, I heard you have a 40% win round. Oh, you read that on the property because the producers looked enough to blame me

[05:34:39] No, I just do that

[05:34:42] Look up the accounts are about flowers to me actually don't let him play Bod

[05:34:46] No flowers got to win is an incredible bar game of mind. I played on a stream pretty go check out his twitch

[05:34:51] I want you his streaming broadcast. It was it was viewer games. Okay. That was

[05:34:59] So I just did can find that just pull up the stats from that game a lot of stuff. Don't cherry pick the cast is sorry

[05:35:05] Sorry, we're only chair the guest castor. Yeah, sorry

[05:35:09] It'd be nice to be right now. Absolutely. No, no, no

[05:35:13] So I unlocked in four heretics

[05:35:15] Looks like we're just gonna be getting something safe and stable to try and deal with the rumble up in the top

[05:35:20] Side of the riff by gonna be removed as they look to pinch the pool for jungle options for vitality

[05:35:25] He's already shown us Atrox this split, he's shown us Nefiri, I think you could consider

[05:35:31] both into this matchup and stand where the Vi Band comes through though in the Vi Pantheon

[05:35:36] jargon and seeing the kind of the main four junglers that are seeing all of the worlds.

[05:35:40] I don't hate Nefiri here, it's such a great tool to just avoid the scion engages, the

[05:35:45] scion decimates smashes, you can win the skirmishes with the Zinja once you're

[05:35:49] able to hit your items, and they're just bad afallios here, kind of annoying

[05:35:53] in general.

[05:35:54] Yeah, I mean, you know, our band makes a lot of sense, Aphelios would also as well, because you're just taking away these pairings with the Lulu at that point, I mean, like the Ice is, so Ice is a big Jinx player, and he's a big Zerri player.

[05:36:05] So he probably doesn't care that much. I wonder if he will do Jinx here though. I'm assuming they're banning Aphelios, I'm sure.

[05:36:11] Yeah, I feel like Zerri into lane, Caitlyn's tough, and Rora instead, so we can be Aphelios up basically handshaking that and saying that we want to take away one of these strong solo lane options.

[05:36:23] I have found out from our stats team, we've been given some, or seem to be fake stats.

[05:36:29] This happened!

[05:36:30] But we can talk about that when we get into game, but that's really interesting.

[05:36:32] I'll need to get them double checked on this information, because that seems very unnice.

[05:36:38] Can happen alive?

[05:36:39] Yeah, okay, well, we can fact check that.

[05:36:42] In any case, when I'm moving into the second phase, oh, sip it!

[05:36:45] Okay, all the options that I listed, this wasn't one of them.

[05:36:48] There we go, the idea I was smart.

[05:36:51] Thanks.

[05:36:52] instead of the aphelios. Look at that, the big brain radius. Can't predict the entire

[05:36:57] draft. It's almost like players have tendencies. Yeah, I've cast Ice for a while now and back

[05:37:03] in the, I mean, I think he came to Europe during the Jinx aphelios meta. So pretty much

[05:37:08] all I knew in four at the time was Jinx and aphelios. But since then, yeah, he's shown

[05:37:13] that Jinx and aphelios are kind of his go-to's. But I think he just wants the

[05:37:15] extra range from the Jinx, which is a large part of why he's doing it. Very front

[05:37:18] back on the side of heretics. Makes a lot of sense. Vitality is a little bit more chaotic. It's kind

[05:37:24] of how I describe comps like this. They don't have a true front line. It's difficult for them to face

[05:37:28] check. They're very reliant on bar getting vision in advance and then not having that vision cleared

[05:37:32] out in order to contest objectives. They need something like, I mean, gala would be good

[05:37:38] here. Okay, Victor's fine. The only reason why I said gala would be good is because like,

[05:37:42] they just have no real front line. I think Victor works because it's a long-range safe mage that

[05:37:52] scales well and it kind of fits into the theme of strong team fighting. Huh, that's a funny zed

[05:37:57] however. I mean, imagine. Could you imagine? I think it's more of a shout out to their series

[05:38:02] yesterday. Yeah, that's the vibe I'm going in. It's a very very front to back for heretics.

[05:38:10] like you've got your control made mid, you've got someone engaged coming through from your

[05:38:15] jungler with solid follow up from the Lulu, you've got Jinx that basically just needs

[05:38:19] a wall that she's going to get from both Zin and Sion, she's got lots of peel thanks to

[05:38:22] the Lulu. There's also the only real backline threat is Wukong, when he goes into the backline,

[05:38:27] if he can get there, knocks up, the rumble ultimate comes down, a lot of AoE 1v1 combo stuff

[05:38:32] comes through from Vitality, they do still have a lot of range themselves from the Caitlyn,

[05:38:36] but the race will be which frontline dies first.

[05:38:38] By title, you've decided to go for multiple damage threats.

[05:38:41] So in theory, they can kill your frontline faster than you can kill one of their carries,

[05:38:46] but obviously that's very determined on who gets ahead early.

[05:38:50] And if the tank gets ahead early, then obviously things get much harder by title.

[05:38:53] And also, anytime I see a Jinx, I always like to remind the viewers and myself, it just takes one.

[05:38:59] You get that one kill, you get the Jinx passive, you get excited, you can run away with a team fight.

[05:39:03] And when you don't have the dedicated frontline tank on Vitality, it gets much scarier to be the Wukong going in.

[05:39:09] Scarier to be the Rumble going in, because you have a smaller health bar for that Jinx to chunk through.

[05:39:14] And that one reset can completely skew the team's fight.

[05:39:18] So Vitality versus Team Heretics, round two right around the corner here.

[05:39:25] And yeah, Vitality, they look solid.

[05:39:27] I mean we heard Jack saying that he thinks that there is a tier is that what he put

[05:39:33] The ATR team takes on team here takes up see if they're able to sweep this one to zero

[05:39:40] Or if we have a third game ahead of us, which would be the trend so far in the LAC spring split

[05:39:47] Absolutely, we've been getting a lot of four three games except for when Koi got very angry and decided yeah enough of this

[05:39:54] Yep

[05:39:55] They had a fire look so yeah

[05:39:59] I'm hearing like heavenly music. Is this the new

[05:40:04] Like rift theme. Yeah. Yeah

[05:40:07] That's you just out of yourself. You haven't been playing Summoner's Rift not recently. No, I was in Brazil

[05:40:13] for a week

[05:40:15] We'll get some games in one I'm on hotel Wi-Fi. It's been going great. I'm having a good time

[05:40:20] Someone asked the question. Why would you pick Jinx into Rumble bar? That's a great question

[05:40:25] It's a very valid point. Low mobility AD carry doesn't have any inbuilt dashes.

[05:40:30] It means that Bard can easily punish. Rumble Ultimate also makes things hard to play for Jinx.

[05:40:37] The main reason I think that they picked Jinx is comfort. I think that Ice likes Jinx.

[05:40:43] And I think that they needed a hypercarry to parry alongside Lulu, and so they picked it.

[05:40:47] And it's also in the laning phase, Jinx gets extra range when she swaps to her rocket form,

[05:40:52] which helps her contest the wave against Caitlyn, which is something that not many ADC carries can do.

[05:40:57] Normally one of the champions that you pick into a Caitlyn is stuff like Ash.

[05:41:01] Big chunk on the way right there. Heal, the movement speed allowed a way to sidestep the Q.

[05:41:08] But there you go, reasons as to why you might take Jinx into this comp.

[05:41:12] We'll see how effective Ice can be on the champ.

[05:41:15] Also, answer number two, Jinx notorious for getting a lot of pentakills.

[05:41:19] I hear ice lights now. Yeah, that's true. He does get quite a few pentakills or at least he did last split

[05:41:24] I think he's

[05:41:26] Tied with reckless for the most pentakills. I forget it's exactly the yeah

[05:41:31] I would love if production could check that. He's been in the league now like he played on BDS for I think two years

[05:41:37] And then he joined heretics. I think he's been here for about three years and he got

[05:41:42] Oh, right there.

[05:41:43] One of the heals used, Flash from Fleshy to get the counterbiting into the wall, Wei is

[05:41:47] out of there, first blood that Karzy as Ice Ghosts away.

[05:41:52] So that's bad for her at six-ball lane.

[05:41:55] Generally Lulu and Jinx shouldn't really be dying to a barred Caitlyn, but Fleshy.

[05:42:01] Flash Q connects the binding, you have to immediately flash his way, otherwise you're

[05:42:06] going to get rooted by the Caitlyn trap.

[05:42:09] And lincis now, thanks to his newfound prio that he's acquired in the bottom lane, says

[05:42:14] hey that looks like a tasty crab, have that for dinner.

[05:42:17] And this was because also Wei didn't have the heal anymore, so I think that's kind of

[05:42:20] what sets up why she'd have this confidence.

[05:42:22] Boom, nice flash.

[05:42:23] Yeah.

[05:42:24] Causie the only guy on something he has to commit, his flash is now a little bit vulnerable.

[05:42:28] Shadow though, in the mid lane area, and you spot by lincis, but instead she had

[05:42:31] to just jump straight in on this humanoid one, becomes letting in with the adage.

[05:42:35] Charge, but Saren's too low in the health department to really back this up, so you know, it's able to walk away not having to burn flash

[05:42:42] Okay, so ice is tied with reckless impendicals. Yeah, at least you

[05:42:47] at sick

[05:42:47] Oh flash on a charge with the knockup on a humanoid

[05:42:50] He has to flash away throws out the queue and that's enough. Okay. I mean, I wasn't expecting that humanoid wasn't expecting that

[05:42:57] He still gets away to safety though flashes traded between jungle and mid

[05:43:01] So show he's eager to be active on the rift but he needs to get back to those camps get those clear get that clear going

[05:43:08] The problem for him is he got double crab

[05:43:11] Lenses is now very accelerate the other block crab and then he has to talk crap because

[05:43:16] Seren was pushed underneath this tower and he has to go back to base

[05:43:18] So show is a little bit sad right now. He's the camp down boys won't actually two camps down, isn't it?

[05:43:24] Cuz he didn't get a crab

[05:43:25] Yeah, and linsons is able to head towards the bottom camps and start picking those up for the Raptors will be spun into

[05:43:31] It is warded so there's a world that shale just tries and goes and can test that as well

[05:43:35] I mean

[05:43:38] I think I'll be way too ambitious your bot lane you don't have flash

[05:43:41] I mean Lulu and also I don't know how much control Sarin really has under this bit away

[05:43:45] He's gonna push the lane. Where do you get shove on Victor early? Absolutely. Yeah, he's official because Victor just does it like

[05:43:52] Until you get the upgraded E you don't one-shot the way

[05:43:54] So you just kind of roll quickly standing there relying under Q

[05:43:57] But we see Shay went for the back instead. So no, they still ping it out that it is up

[05:44:02] Linsus will also go for the reset picks up the sheen and a longsword and is back onto the ramp. No invades

[05:44:08] No contests at the Raptors. It's just both junglers going back to go side to that is advantage for Linsus because he gets the double crabs

[05:44:15] I mean that he is accelerated as the Wukong great place to be huge spike when he hit level six and then again a trinity force

[05:44:22] And Linsus is gonna be on his way there

[05:44:25] expeditiously

[05:44:27] suspicious they have a new word

[05:44:29] oh Europeans in another one?

[05:44:31] I don't know if I would equate all Europeans

[05:44:33] well you're so smart guys

[05:44:35] about League of Legends specifically

[05:44:37] well now we're in geography

[05:44:39] one of my weakest skills

[05:44:41] geography? yeah absolutely

[05:44:43] I do not know where things are in the world

[05:44:45] well I said a word

[05:44:47] you asked for a strength of weakness

[05:44:49] and I gave you one

[05:44:51] I volunteered to strengthen weakness

[05:44:53] it's not about League of Legends

[05:44:55] about geography legs not really strongest legs now aren't you an avid gin goa I am

[05:45:00] and it's an ocean of them I'm just like that's my weakness I could work them

[05:45:05] more that's fair that's fair anyway expeditiously expeditions he's very

[05:45:11] close to expedition than show yeah it's to be closer to something expeditiously

[05:45:17] it means speedily oh yes just like the sign is expeditiously making it

[05:45:25] back to lane. Interesting. Here we go. That is a fun word for the day. Watch somebody in

[05:45:29] twitch asking me like, well actually, yeah, I mean, I, it means with haste. Oh, with haste.

[05:45:36] Oak to expedite. Yeah. Yes. See, I didn't actually know what I'm saying. Yeah, as if I knew. That

[05:45:42] does make a lot of sense. So there we go. There you go. Yeah. Words kind of connect because

[05:45:47] I made a delay. Oh, I know. Okay, Sarin hit by the arcane storm flesh coming in with the

[05:45:52] magical journey, no stun from the guys in binding since Saren's able to flush away.

[05:45:57] This is actually stopping the Invade from Shale, has a Cyclone, Shale does not have the ultimate

[05:46:03] and Lensis potishes.

[05:46:06] The jungle is really good.

[05:46:07] Actually Lensis and Invade from Lensis straight in onto Shale's jungle.

[05:46:11] Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup.

[05:46:12] So remember that double crab that happened earlier?

[05:46:14] Yeah.

[05:46:15] Yeah, Lensis got another one.

[05:46:16] Uh, portrays that he was accelerated, gets level 6 first, moves into enemy red buff

[05:46:21] And after the trade that just happened in mid, Saren's not going to get involved.

[05:46:24] Saren's going to go back to base.

[05:46:26] So Linsus with full confidence says, I can invade you, I will take your red, I will take your rafters.

[05:46:31] And now Linsus is a full level overshadowed.

[05:46:34] See, that invade was so expeditious that I lost track of which side of the map and what I get that.

[05:46:40] That makes sense.

[05:46:41] Dragon, no. Come on. We've got to get on that.

[05:46:44] Linsus though has camps to clear on topside, so he does not care about the dragon right now.

[05:46:48] Shayo has hit level 6 and he's straight there, so looks like this will be not contested.

[05:46:54] Team Eritex also have a slight shove in the mid lane and bot wave pushing in.

[05:46:58] So with the control of the waves, Team Eritex will take the first neutral objective of the game here,

[05:47:03] as once this is just going to work towards picking up that Trinity Force and maybe contest a later ice.

[05:47:10] Gets excited off of the dragon, so Fushie has to portal away.

[05:47:12] And a nice early pick up there for Shayo.

[05:47:15] despite dying in his own jungle he's still eyes on the prize and trying to get what he can on the map

[05:47:22] i think linds this was kind of a two minds there on the one hand he could have just made a

[05:47:26] sprint towards ball all those bot side cats are responding so it wouldn't have been bad for him

[05:47:30] to go bot contest the dragon then start clearing from bot to top oh my god oh hang on you just

[05:47:36] took two turret shots there and he doesn't care yeah he got it to play vision didn't have

[05:47:41] It was, uh, because he used it to get back to lane.

[05:47:43] So, you've got no mana.

[05:47:45] Yeah, uh...

[05:47:46] Ooh, ooh, temperate lane.

[05:47:48] Flash binding on the way again!

[05:47:51] And Karzy gets the kill again.

[05:47:54] 2-0 on the Caitlyn.

[05:47:55] Fleshy setting these up beautifully.

[05:47:57] Yeah, the Vitalty Bot lane is smurfing right now,

[05:48:00] and it is largely being driven by Fleshy.

[05:48:02] Uh, I guess this is like a new Rift Bandit agrobod.

[05:48:06] It's kind of what I'm getting the vibe of, you know?

[05:48:08] Like, red-blue agrobod,

[05:48:09] But he's just going all day and all the time well funnily enough the car

[05:48:13] Okay, now we'll get back to the analysis. He's the warrior trickster to get away and is fine

[05:48:18] J.O. and Saren don't have enough lock down to actually stop him

[05:48:23] Stop Saren the pro that is so annoying

[05:48:26] and then he gets chunked ah

[05:48:29] Brutal and he dodges the maw. Saren is sad

[05:48:34] That's okay. He finally got the wave. Can I have teammates who come to help? Are they really helping much though?

[05:48:38] So, I don't know, Wages kind of took a laser and a psychic power.

[05:48:43] Now, Shayo has the linsis in his jungle again.

[05:48:46] Saren can't even hit this wave because he's going to try and back up his jungler.

[05:48:49] As the smite comes down, that's linsis smiting away the big one.

[05:48:52] It was too early, unfortunately.

[05:48:54] Oh, it was?

[05:48:55] Yeah, 45 HP.

[05:48:56] So, Shayo is in securing his own raptors.

[05:48:59] But linsis now thinks he can get the grub, so I think he can too.

[05:49:02] They've got push in mid.

[05:49:03] They've got push in top.

[05:49:05] I feel like I'm going into a song, Fleshy has rolled for Bolt to mid as well to help

[05:49:10] guarantee numbers advantage, and things are looking good for Vitality here in game 2.

[05:49:16] And we can remix that and publish that as the LEC song for the team.

[05:49:21] So, yeah.

[05:49:22] We look at the very high quality, but I'll close this.

[05:49:25] Magnago will drop the equalizer down on the wave, has lances behind him, but can't

[05:49:30] They're quite locked down Tracin', so they're just gonna walk away forward as BOTSIDE another kill for Karzy!

[05:49:36] This time it's on the ICE and a KILLING SPREE for the Keyleth.

[05:49:40] So someone asked at the beginning of the game from chat,

[05:49:43] why would you pick Jynx into BOD Rumble?

[05:49:46] And I think this is what they were talking about.

[05:49:48] Ah!

[05:49:48] When you don't have Flash.

[05:49:50] They're very smart viewers.

[05:49:50] I mean, he- okay.

[05:49:52] Ice did flash.

[05:49:53] Haha.

[05:49:54] Uh, didn't help him.

[05:49:56] Uh, he got ulted by FleshEat, the trap comes down.

[05:49:59] And then you are sent. So very well played by the Vitality bot lane. They are completely smurfing right now

[05:50:06] Seems a troubles prediction of a 23-minute game is currently on track. We are on pace. Let's get another look at that. Oh, yeah

[05:50:12] Oh, so they already got the flash out for

[05:50:16] Oh, no, he's flashed. Oh

[05:50:19] That's even okay. He's probably dead. Holy shit. He's not playing. They are so good.

[05:50:23] I love this team man. Every time we listen in on their comps, you're gonna get a laugh.

[05:50:33] Yep, yep, yep. I mean again, so Karzy is fed, but important to remember at home, Fleshy deserves all the credit.

[05:50:40] Fleshy is doing all of the work right now. He very much deserves the recognition.

[05:50:44] Karzy is very much just getting the last hits and putting the traps down after Fleshy finds those bindings.

[05:50:50] Now the question, because Trouble said 23 minute game, but the bigger one on my mind is will Karzy have a better stat line from this game than from last game?

[05:50:59] I don't think so, I think it's really hard to outpace, oh you need KDA?

[05:51:03] Well just stat, you know in general, but it's really hard to be on Ezreal.

[05:51:07] True.

[05:51:08] Right now he's at a very high kill participation, he's at a solo kill, yeah he's adding numbers, that's true.

[05:51:14] Number go up.

[05:51:15] 37.5% of the damage is rough, especially when Naka Naka is farming damage at top lane.

[05:51:20] Through Fleshy landing another Cosmic Lightning on the way right there, as it looks like a potential die,

[05:51:25] but Shairo's nearby to dissuade the attempt on another binding from Fleshy.

[05:51:30] This guy is just sniping these left and right.

[05:51:35] Which is crazy because Kauzi's playing this sniper. That's what that's Caitlyn's whole motif.

[05:51:39] Ooh, Bar doesn't even... he's just got meeps.

[05:51:41] yep who gave that guy a weapon oh it goes down the top of fate and another

[05:51:47] binding perfectly time cuz he's not in range actually get the damage down but

[05:51:51] it looked cool fleshy and I'm giving you points for it yeah I mean I guess it got

[05:51:55] another plate for Kazi yeah he couldn't put the track down

[05:51:59] God this is not one of them but I mean this towel is short to full like this

[05:52:04] there's no way there's no reason for Kazi to base you can just stay here

[05:52:08] Keep hitting, hitting, hitting, hitting, hitting.

[05:52:10] Rubble ultimate pushing top wave as well.

[05:52:13] I mean, Vitality's just oppressive everywhere.

[05:52:16] 20 CS lead at mid, small CS lead in top,

[05:52:20] but the plate's giving it the advantage.

[05:52:22] Okay, Shairo looking for a game.

[05:52:24] It's really the only thing that Team Heretics have going for them.

[05:52:27] CC and the sign to set up the game for Shairo as Knock Knock will flash.

[05:52:30] Still, follow from Shairo with the knock up.

[05:52:33] Flash from Tracin, they want to guarantee that one.

[05:52:35] Team Heretics needed something and they at least get a gank onto the top lane.

[05:52:41] Okay, so Heretics finally on the board, get themselves a kill, but playing towards top, it's not a reliable win condition.

[05:52:48] You need to find a way to get ice back into the game because Sion being strong is one thing, but I don't think it's the thing that will help you turn this game around.

[05:52:57] And we have an item completed on Karzy. We have an item completed on Humanoid.

[05:53:01] The carries are gonna be doing damage and human or is actually the one that is able to go towards that bottom side

[05:53:06] They were lane swapped around and he will pick up the turret

[05:53:10] Cars he wanted to back and spend the gold instead. So either way gold to vitality side

[05:53:15] It is a 3.7k gold lead at 14 minutes as the next dragon is the focus

[05:53:21] So things you hate to see jinx here. Oh with the wave being frozen

[05:53:27] Also, Jinx backing when Dragon's starting up. I don't think they're going to contest at all.

[05:53:32] Alright, okay, I said frozen. It's being slow pushed. My apologies.

[05:53:35] Yeah, they can't contest.

[05:53:37] Shaeo?

[05:53:38] Yeah, he thought maybe he had an opportunity. He jumps in on the Karzy, flash over the wall from the Caitlyn, gets to safety.

[05:53:44] They could not change the CC onto the ADC.

[05:53:48] I'm back. Sorry, Eritings. I thought you couldn't contest. Turns out that you can.

[05:53:52] You can just press all your buttons and you can run it. You're opponent.

[05:53:54] opponent yeah TP back to top from Tracin to stop 9-9 for from taking his tower but now you're gonna

[05:54:00] lose blue buff for it yeah I mean ice could look to join up but it's scary with humanoid right there

[05:54:06] and that is blue buff secured linsis with another invade and another steal on above

[05:54:12] right now Vitality are role inherits I mean high standards for this team given last split

[05:54:19] I think a lot of people argued that they were in the conversation for top four and when they're

[05:54:24] they're in the lower bracket depending it's Casey

[05:54:26] trying to make it all the way to the finals, right?

[05:54:28] So it was kind of hard to judge how strong Vitality actually were

[05:54:32] losing to Casey, no shame in that

[05:54:34] But again, high expectations for the GX match with Casey after

[05:54:38] Yeah, absolutely, absolutely

[05:54:40] So they're looking for a different trajectory this play

[05:54:44] Only top 6 remember to go to our playoffs this time around

[05:54:46] The single round was great

[05:54:48] It seems like the focus is still on to NacNacO

[05:54:50] who does not have the flash this time around

[05:54:52] has a teleport coming in, help him out, and the magical journey to get to safety!

[05:54:56] Team Hereticz did not have enough damage, TP from Humanoid, but it's a kill to Fleshy,

[05:55:02] saving his top laner's life, winning the bot lane for the team. What can this guy not do?

[05:55:09] Wei did not have ultimate to help his jungler in that gank,

[05:55:14] and then Fleshy with another masterful play protects his top laner

[05:55:18] and turns to play the favor of Vitality.

[05:55:20] 4.3 gave the gold lead.

[05:55:22] Fleshy now fishing nades.

[05:55:24] Tempered fair lands.

[05:55:25] Find another magical journey over the wall.

[05:55:27] The housing binding not close enough to the wall.

[05:55:29] The outs turned right back around, away.

[05:55:31] Looking for extra damage on the fleshy sidesteps.

[05:55:35] Seren cannot find the kill.

[05:55:37] Okay, fleshy. You're kind of making fun of the...

[05:55:38] Oh, wow. A lot of stuff was thrown that way.

[05:55:41] But the bait and switch,

[05:55:43] he rotated back towards the middle lane.

[05:55:46] He walks away safe, so well played again, Fleshy.

[05:55:49] What do you do if you're Shado here?

[05:55:51] What do you do if you're Shado?

[05:55:53] Oh yes, he's like third time, third time up here?

[05:55:56] I mean, he's not gonna bot lane, bro, like look at that, yeah.

[05:55:59] That's not a place that you can gank.

[05:56:02] I mean, the bot lane of Heretic's really just got stuck.

[05:56:06] I mean, this just didn't even do anything.

[05:56:09] Like, he didn't even show up.

[05:56:12] No, they just did it by themselves.

[05:56:13] This is what's farming. He had cams to clear.

[05:56:15] Yeah, he solo killed Cher in his jungle.

[05:56:18] Yeah.

[05:56:19] But so far, this has been a fantastic game for the Vitality bot side.

[05:56:24] And also a fantastic showing for Vitality and the way, okay, actually, we're back to

[05:56:28] that way.

[05:56:29] Gonna get caught out here, and just deleted from summoner's red.

[05:56:33] Yeah, that is a roasted goal, and that was quick.

[05:56:37] But I was gonna say that typically with Vitality, the easy player to talk about is Nak Nakko.

[05:56:42] A lot of people having him, even I believe you yourself have had the conversation of like, is he the best top laner in Europe after split number one?

[05:56:51] And now the rest of the team stepping up as well.

[05:56:53] Knock, knock, will flash forward, roasts down, ice, melting under the heat of the flame, spit or a shale, pressing guard to try and keep himself alive because he got it into the wall while Grog will keep him up.

[05:57:04] He's trying to heal, but he cannot heal enough.

[05:57:08] Multiple kills for Vitality, they'll trade Knock-Knocko, but they'll take two.

[05:57:13] Pick after pick, Vitality continue to accelerate the game.

[05:57:18] And Heretic's are just running out of options.

[05:57:19] I mean, sure, getting a trade kill back onto Knock-Knocko is nice, but look at the top lane.

[05:57:23] The mid wave continues to be pushed by Sheep.

[05:57:26] Another tampered fate, trap on top of it, and the Cosmic Finding Taboo.

[05:57:31] Karzy is unstoppable!

[05:57:34] Five-zero-one point.

[05:57:35] I mean, this combo is so nasty.

[05:57:38] We'll look back at the play so the Herald gets dropped mids, cave him into rumble, ultimate McNuckers, and show off Flash base.

[05:57:45] 350 gold in the pocket. He's now trapped in enemy territory, so if I tell him to say, hey, maybe we can actually turn this into a play of our own.

[05:57:53] Good ulti up the show to keep him alive for a little bit longer, but he's got no way of escaping, so he ends up falling short as well.

[05:57:59] I believe he had Flash, he just didn't want to use it. I mean with Cresengard and Wild Growth, maybe you think that you can still fight through it with the Sundered Sky,

[05:58:07] But either way he goes down. It's a trade advantage for vitality who get more of a gold lead

[05:58:15] Seven point six K. Is that right?

[05:58:19] Now okay fleshy is just so low in ice fleshy. This is bullying. This is just bullying

[05:58:25] He didn't even go the Chad built by the way

[05:58:27] This is like the actual support like a lot of pros go. I'm a fan of the Chad build

[05:58:32] You might survive with dino tracos, you take that off.

[05:58:35] You have the dead man, you have the leandries, you have battle bard, fleshy is playing good

[05:58:39] guy bard.

[05:58:40] Tracos calls it one punch bard.

[05:58:41] One punch bard.

[05:58:42] Yeah, so he does dead man's RFC lich bay.

[05:58:46] He just runs around and slacks people.

[05:58:50] I mean the RFC, that's old things.

[05:58:51] So it's Q into auto.

[05:58:53] Yeah, that sounds fun.

[05:58:56] It's terrible.

[05:58:57] Silly.

[05:58:58] But it is dino tracos.

[05:58:59] I think it's explored actually quite accurate.

[05:59:05] Well you have like two procs and you're W.

[05:59:08] Sure.

[05:59:09] Press it auto.

[05:59:10] Wait 1.5 seconds.

[05:59:11] Press it auto.

[05:59:12] That sounds like a great man, Bill.

[05:59:13] Yeah.

[05:59:14] That's really good.

[05:59:15] Well, Hagnako's going to drop the equalizer because Team Heretics, they don't have a

[05:59:19] lot to do on the map.

[05:59:20] They're not going to contest this dragon.

[05:59:22] They want to look for a turret at least, but Hagnako can just prevent the entire

[05:59:26] wave from doing any damage.

[05:59:28] any damage and they don't even get that. So Team Heretic's yet to crack a structure. They got the

[05:59:33] one early dragon, but they have not gotten any other purchase in this game saved from a couple

[05:59:39] of kills that have been traded in Vitality Spare. For Heretic's two in this game, they need Iced

[05:59:48] to have a huge gold injection and they need to get a clean from tobacco fights. It's 5v5

[05:59:53] and Ice needs at least one.

[05:59:55] So it still lives long enough to get that.

[05:59:57] Yes, that's been happening on screen a lot.

[06:00:00] So that's why it's quite difficult for Hyrtix

[06:00:02] to really do much in this game.

[06:00:04] Because what else can they do?

[06:00:05] X to the A.

[06:00:07] Any other ideas?

[06:00:08] Tepid Pain lands, but there's too many minions around,

[06:00:10] so you can't look for the binding afterwards.

[06:00:12] Gargy didn't want to go for the trap,

[06:00:13] because Shale was there, so Vitality

[06:00:15] not going to find another pick.

[06:00:16] But yeah, any other ideas?

[06:00:19] Okay, we'll go to plan B.

[06:00:24] Let's go to plan C. I'm going to assume plan A would have to be in this version.

[06:00:28] You want to just skip straight to plan C?

[06:00:30] B was the other way you would send there.

[06:00:32] Okay, I mean, so there's limited audience.

[06:00:36] You could just run over and take someone's keyboard, bro.

[06:00:39] You just do that.

[06:00:40] You asked for plan C, bro.

[06:00:42] Like, what are we...

[06:00:43] Well, because plan A is don't lose lane this hard that ice is this hard.

[06:00:48] We'll pass that point you're referring to the plans. Yeah, okay, then you you're already in this state here

[06:00:54] We go. Well, maybe another plan is a class on a side lane. Yeah, all alone

[06:00:59] Holly more down. You don't have a lot of damage

[06:01:02] They're gonna go under turret it takes a village, but they got it. That's a shut down

[06:01:07] That's gold with pocket of sarin the screaming was just so funny to me. It was like so unnecessary

[06:01:12] The silent was like I am here. Yeah, uh, they get a kill and humanoid

[06:01:17] Forge, it stays true to his branding, dying on the side lane.

[06:01:20] You know, it's good to have a flank.

[06:01:22] Yeah, it's good to be back, Cuban. Good to see you.

[06:01:24] I hear it at the start of the split.

[06:01:26] The downside is heretics have committed four members to bot lane,

[06:01:30] which leaves Knuck Knuck alone top lane, and he will...will get a plight.

[06:01:35] Yeah, I got it. Nice.

[06:01:38] The problem for Vitality is there's an easy objective for him to take.

[06:01:42] Baron might seem like an easy objective, but it is a little bit risky.

[06:01:46] under Faye, going a little wide.

[06:01:47] Ways in the side step, that one flashes away

[06:01:49] so the Cosmon binding has no angle.

[06:01:52] But still takes half himself in one ace.

[06:01:53] And the whole magical journey interrupted, but only delayed.

[06:01:57] And Splashie will get back to safety.

[06:01:59] Press the team, giving him the way out as equal as it goes down.

[06:02:02] Big chunk onto Ice's health bar.

[06:02:04] No one's going to fall on either side,

[06:02:06] but Team Air takes message sent.

[06:02:07] They got a back away from their jungle.

[06:02:09] I thought they were going to drop

[06:02:10] that Rumble ultimate more diagonally.

[06:02:12] Yeah.

[06:02:12] So he's going to go straight through the path.

[06:02:14] I was very excited for a moment.

[06:02:15] Yeah, same. Same as said, same.

[06:02:17] But I'm not going to solve something that we clearly didn't.

[06:02:20] The Baron. Stalked? Forks? I feel like you can.

[06:02:24] They're 23 minutes and the game is an over.

[06:02:26] They can do anything they set their mind to, guys.

[06:02:29] First of all, second of all, they are in a good position in this game, so...

[06:02:33] I have to concur. Shay is on the right buff right now as Linsus.

[06:02:36] Hovering around, but he's spotted out.

[06:02:38] Two levels advantage as the rest of the team collapses.

[06:02:40] Humanoid coming in, but he's slowed down by Ice with the zap.

[06:02:43] Knock knock over the wall, and that is the buff secured.

[06:02:47] Shayna's trying to get out of there now as he's slowed down.

[06:02:49] They turn under the rumble, flashes away, polymorphed, but he's alive.

[06:02:53] And by the way, they just still don't have enough damage to burst down these people

[06:02:58] when they land the CC.

[06:03:00] I really think that's not a good stop pattern.

[06:03:04] Oh yeah?

[06:03:04] I mean, they can TP, knock knock, go back.

[06:03:07] There isn't a war on it.

[06:03:08] They have not swept it, they didn't drop a control ward.

[06:03:10] In fact, they don't, they have one in the inventory of Bleshy, but...

[06:03:13] He's kind of an advocate that he tracks.

[06:03:17] So they could come down to a miracle steal.

[06:03:19] I mean, if Shale can somehow get in here,

[06:03:20] Knock Knock, he's gonna play bodyguard.

[06:03:23] Time to prevent him.

[06:03:23] There's one Harpoon that goes out.

[06:03:25] Shale's now looking for the avenue in.

[06:03:27] Trace is taking a future of the damage,

[06:03:29] has to flash equalizer on the three.

[06:03:31] But nobody there to follow off, so Team Heretics.

[06:03:34] They delayed the Baron.

[06:03:36] Nobody goes down.

[06:03:38] Stressful moments there,

[06:03:39] because at any point,

[06:03:40] look you're this far behind.

[06:03:42] If anybody from Team Heretic steps in the wrong way, they get picked out, that game, it's just over.

[06:03:47] Like, the game can just explode in a minute.

[06:03:50] I feel like Caitlyn should have been a little bit more proactive with setting up traps.

[06:03:54] Part of the reason why Baron is so strong for Caitlyn's team is because of how hard it is for your enemy to approach.

[06:04:00] He kind of did something reactively when he saw some people fishing over the wall, but like, you just pretty much litter the whole entrance to the river and you make it really hard for them to get in.

[06:04:09] Let's help you back up a bit anyway.

[06:04:10] They're doing it again.

[06:04:11] Shaiyo's gonna have to find a different avenue in.

[06:04:13] Fleshy has to temper at Fade,

[06:04:15] got him blinded for the slow.

[06:04:17] The rocket goes in, and the temper Fade onto Shaiyo

[06:04:20] means that there's no steal attempt possible.

[06:04:22] Tracen goes in with the ultimate,

[06:04:24] has to back away afterwards,

[06:04:25] as this is a desperation engage from Shaiyo.

[06:04:28] Has the wild growth, and he's pressing guard.

[06:04:31] Has to walk back, flashes the safety from the slows.

[06:04:34] Saren gets some damage out of Fleshy,

[06:04:35] but in comes Linsus with the flank.

[06:04:37] Saren, they's in the whole body block by Sheo.

[06:04:40] I see Mara to tap to find a way to get back to their base.

[06:04:44] The Baron picked up by Vitality, and they can walk this wave in mid.

[06:04:47] They don't have much of a wave though.

[06:04:49] It is very low HP, the dragon is alive.

[06:04:53] Sheo!

[06:04:54] Uh, looks like his goal is to save the crowd from the dragon.

[06:04:57] I felt like that was a bit of an ambitious play.

[06:05:00] So Vitality wants to move their way back to secure 4th dragon of the game.

[06:05:04] Vitality will take what objectives they can.

[06:05:07] Midway it needs to be pushed and it looks like

[06:05:10] And it's ice with flash doesn't even have time to use it I suppose as another cosmic binding and people are just falling left and right

[06:05:17] Okay. Yeah, that's one way to win a game. Just get two carols get dragon when gay. Yeah, okay, cool

[06:05:22] By doubt he picked up the flash waters started swatting down the bugs

[06:05:25] Ice falls chao falls and with this Baron ball they can just keep pushing in

[06:05:30] This has been a cakewalk of a game

[06:05:32] 26 minutes a little longer than trouble had predicted but what a dominating

[06:05:38] performance from Vitality across the Rift specifically this bot lane because these

[06:05:43] inhibitor turrets will fall yeah I mean masterclass bar performance from Flash

[06:05:48] 8 he is just run the Rift, early game outplays in the 2 vs 2 landing some

[06:05:54] really nice ulti so at the game he set up for picks now with double inhibitor

[06:05:57] secured Vitality should just make their way up towards top they can still

[06:06:01] leave one member in mids and they just end the game and I gotta say the voices in

[06:06:08] our head that is aka the producer Finn was saying that for a moment their

[06:06:13] Karzy was ahead of levels on Tracer. Yeah that was really, I mean that doesn't surprise me considering

[06:06:19] Kazzy is 6-0-2 right now. Now if Fleshy ever gets it now, if Fleshy was ahead

[06:06:25] That would be a world record. Uncomfortably close to Shale right now.

[06:06:30] But yeah, I mean at this point it's basically a formality here. With the Baron Bucky just walk in, you take these next turrets,

[06:06:37] probably take another inhibitor with it before it expires.

[06:06:40] As Team Eritex will have to mount a miracle defense.

[06:06:44] And it's going to be just that.

[06:06:47] As Retality continue to poke down. Another wave coming in here.

[06:06:52] And Linus is threatening a flank as well, so Vitality is really whenever they feel like it, they can throw the Wukong in, it's so much gold in their pocket that you just have to imagine they will by default win the T5.

[06:07:04] Yeah, I mean Vitality at this rate doesn't even need to T5, they can just hit, hit Torna in front of them, it will fall, it will die.

[06:07:12] TP now coming through from that back up as he rejoins his team, pushes in mid, the Baron will wear off, but it doesn't matter.

[06:07:20] The damage has been done. Supermissions already lay waste to the base.

[06:07:24] A paratix.

[06:07:25] They will do their best to mount to defects to potentially give them a chance of turning this game around.

[06:07:30] Denver Faye will go a little wide right there as Tracin has the on top of Wandslot.

[06:07:34] Could look for an engage here.

[06:07:36] You're gonna have to find the right target and splash on a lot of members.

[06:07:39] The share actually finds the insect there, but nox not go closer to Ice, who's now free firing.

[06:07:44] This could be the first reset. Ice gets excited.

[06:07:46] But it doesn't just run straight at Vitality and set Kites back, they want to clear out the wave.

[06:07:51] It's Tracen traded for Knock Knocko, top laner for top laner.

[06:07:55] They're going to have to find another reset on the ice to hold the line now.

[06:07:59] That seemed like a window for Team Heretics, but Vitality they just run away instead

[06:08:03] and now they can look at this next inhibitor around the Nexus turret.

[06:08:06] No Nexus turrets left. No defense for Team Heretics.

[06:08:10] They got to defend this 4v4, they have to help bar advantage.

[06:08:13] It's really just Karzy to try to pepper down members of Team Heretics, and now they walk up, so Karzy can hit the Nexus.

[06:08:19] Linsus heavily chugged right there. Karzy's still hitting it, as Humanoid can now walk up as well.

[06:08:25] And Team Heretics think, I gotta find a way to get out of this Caitlyn right now that they haven't done it.

[06:08:29] Shale jumps in on Humanoid. Karzy just almost one shots away!

[06:08:33] Goes Gottlite to close out the series. GG Vitality take it.

[06:08:39] Impressive stuff from the Vitality bottom lane.

[06:08:42] They simply dominated Isomway straight up in the two versus two.

[06:08:46] They've had multiple duo kills.

[06:08:48] And their lead is pretty much what set up the success for the rest of the game.

[06:08:52] Rancis could make his invade because of the double crabs that he got off the back of his bot lane.

[06:08:56] The pressure that Humanoid had was super impressive.

[06:08:59] And yeah, I mean, while all of the conversation has been about McNaco,

[06:09:02] the reality is that this team is just...

[06:09:05] There's a lot of pieces that are very scary full-time.

[06:09:07] It's not just the top lane. That's impressive.

[06:09:10] Karzy and fleshy crushed that bot lane vote on your player of the series. Oh

[06:09:14] Man, I know this is one of those ones Karzy's KDA was crazy his damage was crazy

[06:09:19] But fleshy set him up for it

[06:09:20] So it's tough to know who really deserves it at the end of the day

[06:09:24] But I think I'm not disappointed either way

[06:09:27] Yeah, I was one of those two the fans vote the fans decide so they press try and influence it

[06:09:31] Yeah, that's right. Yeah, they intercepted into the brains. Well, that's a little vitality. They needed this wet

[06:09:36] After their first loss to KC, this is a team that's humanoid.

[06:09:43] What's he doing?

[06:09:44] Sometimes he just likes to stare at the camera.

[06:09:46] You can just, there's just part of his charm.

[06:09:48] Yeah?

[06:09:49] Yeah.

[06:09:49] I don't feel charmed.

[06:09:51] That's OK.

[06:09:52] Fused.

[06:09:53] Yeah, yeah, it's that effect on people.

[06:09:54] You'll get used to it.

[06:09:55] Humanoid and Vitality have looked good today.

[06:09:59] We've had enough from us, so let's toss it on over to PGL with Kazi and Linsus.

[06:10:04] Thank you very much, gentlemen.

[06:10:05] Congrats also to Kangas on your first week in the LEC, it was really nice to listen to you.

[06:10:10] And it was really fun to see you, Kassam. Sherlyn says was it fun to play?

[06:10:13] Yes, very fun. I mean, game one was a bit boring from my side, I think, but game two was quite a stump, so quick and easy.

[06:10:20] Nice, so no worries this time, because we have seen a few times, especially in your last series, that you guys sometimes can't hang on to a lead, throw, what's going on?

[06:10:30] I mean, some throws have happened. I think some draft issues were also there.

[06:10:33] I think today was quite clean. I mean, I think Gamelas, as I said, a bit slow, but I think it couldn't have been otherwise.

[06:10:42] I think Gamelas too, I mean, we just kind of stomped him. I think bot lane was really smurfing, so yeah.

[06:10:47] Yeah, bot lane was smurfing, Karzy, good job.

[06:10:49] It's fleshy.

[06:10:50] It was fleshy. I wanted to ask you actually, because yesterday we saw, or two days ago we saw as Bard as well.

[06:10:55] It was phenomenal. Do you think he's kind of underrated, fleshy?

[06:10:59] I think his bud is really insane. He still has some work to do on other champions, but I think his bud is really really clean. I think it might be the best even in LEC.

[06:11:08] Ah, what do you think?

[06:11:09] Same as Karma, as you could see they were banning it always, you know? They are really afraid.

[06:11:13] They are.

[06:11:14] Oh, I think he looks really impressive.

[06:11:16] I don't know, he wasn't helping him, he was just playing himself. He was trying to kill everyone.

[06:11:21] Oh, I know, yeah. He did a very good job.

[06:11:23] Like even the the first couple plays on towards the Lulu like he flashes gets the initial stone after we took the wrong way

[06:11:30] To get out of the bottom lane

[06:11:31] And then the follow-up after yeah, who was was really strong as well like I think even the the first part of that he used

[06:11:38] I was shocked even managed to get this one. I didn't see the angle there, but he managed to hit it

[06:11:42] I mean he played really really well, especially like he sees these angles even against Casey when he played bar

[06:11:47] He's so like a Q flash angle, which I don't really see you know

[06:11:50] And it was like Max Rengie just flashes into the wave finds the stun and gives me free kill

[06:11:55] So I'm really happy to play with his bird

[06:11:58] Yeah, it looks really nice

[06:12:00] I notice that you guys talk very openly both of you about like the drafts and it's something that we on the desk also talked about

[06:12:06] I think it all stems from that Seraphine situation, right?

[06:12:09] So now we're always looking at it and I wonder how that works because like

[06:12:13] Would someone in the coaching staff get mad if you keep flaming the draft on air or what's this?

[06:12:18] That's the circumstance like

[06:12:20] I mean, we just need to keep them accountable, I think.

[06:12:23] Just have to keep them accountable.

[06:12:25] No, but I mean, of course, like the Dresden are not the best before, I think, today we had very good drafts.

[06:12:30] But also it's not only the coaches that write it, some players as well, to recommend the champions that they want to play and recommend the right champions.

[06:12:40] For example, like the KC Game 3, you know, it's also honest that we don't have the best draft, you know, because we are the ones speaking, so...

[06:12:46] How did the Seraphine happen then?

[06:12:48] I mean basically we had like some Seraphine in scrims right and it was looking really good.

[06:12:53] But I think we just overcooked you know like Marek was saying Tia was really good with Seraphine

[06:12:58] but I think in his head he meant a Seraphine and I don't know it was just very confusing.

[06:13:03] I think he confused himself as well and then the draft was just weird you know.

[06:13:06] Okay I wonder if it's like because you have a lot of strengths and there's a lot of

[06:13:10] attention that goes towards Naknako generally. He's also been having a great time but then

[06:13:14] you also have a Karzy in the bot lane. You have a humanoid who probably like in the first

[06:13:17] in the first game just wants is Azir. Do you think there's some egos at play here?

[06:13:23] No. I think we're just a strong team in general and I think in this team everyone can carry kind

[06:13:30] of. I think that's one of the strengths we have. I mean sometimes it's NACNACO I think today it was

[06:13:35] just purely bottling just skill gapping right so yeah I don't think there is any egos.

[06:13:40] No egos on Vitality we'll write it down. I think the most impressive part for me is just

[06:13:45] just how strong your early game has been, has the humanoid coming in and it feels like

[06:13:50] a very different atmosphere on the team, have you guys found it easier than to call things

[06:13:54] in the early game to talk between yourselves or what has been the boost for you in that

[06:13:58] early stages?

[06:13:59] Well, speak.

[06:14:00] No, no, you can take it like you're the smart one, I'm just here for the funsies.

[06:14:05] I'm the content.

[06:14:07] I mean, I think the meta overall is kind of both oriented, like due to the range

[06:14:13] champs and I mean whoever like gets ahead in the early game usually just gets to

[06:14:17] stack those dragons and then it's very hard to play if you don't have the

[06:14:21] drakes but I mean I think Marek is just a very good laner as well so it kind of

[06:14:25] helps with the prowls with him just winning the lane today as well in the

[06:14:30] game too. His laning was very good and the bot lane was nerfing so yeah I

[06:14:34] mean I think early games are solid due to the laners playing well so far.

[06:14:38] Nice you're not just a content guy you're also the key up player of the

[06:14:41] Let's go!

[06:14:43] Nice! I think that's my first time we've been like 4 years probably.

[06:14:46] Yeah! He's back!

[06:14:48] I was wondering, did you watch First Dance?

[06:14:51] Yeah.

[06:14:52] Do you get like, are you like, I assume you really want to be back there, right?

[06:14:56] Because it's been a long time and I think we as European fans also really would like to see Karzy internationally.

[06:15:01] But you know, did it motivate you?

[06:15:03] I really want to go to MSI because it's in Korea, you know, but...

[06:15:06] Yeah.

[06:15:07] You like Korea?

[06:15:08] Yeah, I like it. It's nice. It's futuristic.

[06:15:12] Sure.

[06:15:14] They're great players, also.

[06:15:16] I mean, I just kind of want to play...

[06:15:18] I mean, I don't want to do it for the boys, mainly,

[06:15:20] because I'm like, we're the veterans.

[06:15:22] Yeah.

[06:15:23] We have seen everything, experienced everything,

[06:15:25] but these rookies haven't been to an international event yet.

[06:15:29] They haven't screamed the big guns, you know?

[06:15:32] Yeah.

[06:15:33] The big boys.

[06:15:34] You want them to get a reality check?

[06:15:36] Sorry?

[06:15:37] You want them to get a reality check?

[06:15:38] That's it. They are already getting that in Europe.

[06:15:41] Just want them to experience it as well, you know?

[06:15:43] That's crazy.

[06:15:45] It lids us over all, though.

[06:15:46] I feel like Vitality is a team that we all love watching Vitality.

[06:15:51] We all think you guys are so good,

[06:15:53] but it's like something always goes wrong.

[06:15:55] And I wonder if that's starting to be in your heads as well,

[06:15:58] because, I don't know, it was frustrating watching the series

[06:16:00] versus KC back in the playoffs and stuff like that.

[06:16:04] How far do you think you're off

[06:16:05] from really breaking through that ceiling that you're at now?

[06:16:08] I think right now we're a clear top four team in Europe.

[06:16:12] It's on us to become better than KC and MQA.

[06:16:16] I think G2 are probably just top one, right?

[06:16:18] Looking at how they played in the first hand as well.

[06:16:21] But our goal is to go to MSI this split.

[06:16:24] So it's on us to get better and fix the mid-game, for example.

[06:16:29] And just get better.

[06:16:31] How close do you think you are?

[06:16:33] How close we are?

[06:16:34] to do MSI to be in top two to I

[06:16:38] Mean we still have some work to do

[06:16:39] But I think like the KC series showed that we can definitely like compete and win against those teams

[06:16:44] So I think we are we are contending the top three and if we improve we're gonna be top two

[06:16:49] Yeah, that's the goal for the playoffs right do you agree that now that goes the best top in you?

[06:16:53] I would say so yeah. Yeah, how are you as a jungler?

[06:16:57] I don't think so, I think I can play this game.

[06:17:01] How is he? We'll see, you're playing them in two weeks.

[06:17:04] They will get stomped probably, but I think maybe it's too bad.

[06:17:08] And Lysos, how do you feel, how do you rank, how are you improving?

[06:17:12] As a team or as a jungler?

[06:17:14] I think I'm doing pretty well so far this split, but we'll see.

[06:17:18] I don't try to compare myself, just improve every day and I think I'm doing a good job.

[06:17:24] and having the good two series so far.

[06:17:27] Yeah. Okay, cool. Nice.

[06:17:29] Let's take a look at the schedule.

[06:17:30] I think you're playing T2 and TX,

[06:17:32] but I think you're playing M.Coy maybe next week,

[06:17:36] if I looked correctly at the schedule.

[06:17:40] Navi first and then M.Coy on Monday.

[06:17:42] Exactly. Karzy, what do you think about the Super Alvaro bot lane?

[06:17:48] San Migo.

[06:17:49] No, that is not good.

[06:17:51] No, I think they are good.

[06:17:52] I mean, they are one of the better bot lanes in LEC, I think they are behind Hansama and behind Kali's Buzio probably, or matching with them with Kali's Buzio.

[06:18:03] I mean, I like playing against them because it's always a learning experience, so I'm excited to face them once again.

[06:18:11] I think they are also really nice, humble people, so I always enjoy playing them.

[06:18:14] That's fun, and Europe First is Reledge on Saturday.

[06:18:17] Now he's a guy we're also really hyped about.

[06:18:20] Are you excited to go up against his atrox or are you guys gonna ban it because you're scared?

[06:18:26] I mean, I don't think we need to ban it. I think I've been doing pretty good on the atrox myself

[06:18:31] But I think against him it's quite an interesting matchup. I think he's more of a carry on into a player

[06:18:36] I think he played a lot of new picks in winter, right?

[06:18:39] So but yeah, I think it will be an exciting jungle matchup. Okay, cool. Karzian, any final words?

[06:18:46] Thank you for everything

[06:18:48] That's why you're leaving?

[06:18:49] You know, I'm out of short words.

[06:18:51] You're retiring?

[06:18:52] No, I'm just very thankful for everyone working here.

[06:18:56] You, you, you, the crew, the Alice is too.

[06:19:00] Thank you, guys.

[06:19:01] Yeah, thank you to everybody.

[06:19:03] And thank you to Vitality.

[06:19:05] And congratulations on their win.

[06:19:08] Bye-bye.

[06:19:11] It was new.

[06:19:12] OK, we have a one-to-one in the mid-laners.

[06:19:14] Leaders jumping in on the podium.

[06:19:15] finds it! Mortal Steel for first blood!

[06:19:45] He's in trouble, so he falls far back and he's gonna go down, wonder picks it up and it's a heavy cost.

[06:20:06] Navi and a panger of a game will even this series. We're going to another game.

[06:20:13] No no no no no no!

[06:20:14] Are you good?

[06:20:15] Yeah yeah yeah.

[06:20:16] I think he's a game.

[06:20:17] He's alive.

[06:20:18] I'm 50-50 guys.

[06:20:19] He's trying guys.

[06:20:20] We're letting our team handle him 50-50.

[06:20:23] Started off by Alinsus.

[06:20:25] There's a huge chunk of damage from Humanoid as the enchanted crystal hero coming from

[06:20:29] downtown and it lands onto Humanoid.

[06:20:32] Zarya doesn't have a change but he's got the backup of Shale.

[06:20:35] That's a champion, nice.

[06:21:07] You can take pictures guys, like, okay.

[06:21:37] I'm back, C-Sport!

[06:21:43] I'm ready to just kill you!

[06:21:45] I'm flying to the bottom of the sky!

[06:21:47] You're not dying!

[06:21:49] You're not being able to fly!

[06:21:51] You're not my best friend!

[06:21:53] Clutter! Everybody!

[06:21:55] You're not destroying our collections!
