I
Don't try to make yourself remember
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend to let her longer
Because when we're going, everything goes on
You were staring at the window
And I said, I wanna take you to the sea
And when I'm better, I will do everything
I've got to stop making promises I can't keep
But if I was gone tomorrow, won't the waves crash on me?
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Is I near up the overcast?
But you won't have to hide
I swear to the greed
I'm by your side
I said
Don't try to make yourself remember
Darling, don't look at me
I'm just a story in your stature
So let's be friends and live alone
I'm so scared of getting used to this, all the fun to keep you tethered in your room
You find the keep you tethered in your room
Someday both of us are leaving here
But for now I'll just bring this to you
When we meet me in the daylight
Like we did before
Then I felt you on my shoulder
You weren't suffering anymore
You said I'm sorry that you were me
I don't know part of the little tries
I told you to forget me
But you stayed by my side
When I said
Don't try to make yourself a man
You are the darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story
You spit on me
So let's take that, and let it roll
Remember, cause I'm, I'm, I'm
Everything goes on
Where it goes from beyond the past
The city it is known
The fear it holds
May it guide people
And guide them where love will come
And shape them strong
When we descend from the horizon
I
君の笑顔が恋しくて 星に似顔の また会えるよね
I

I
But who's on every birthday proud of these walls?
Yeah, come on, yeah.
Didn't do recrum, but they wanna leave them and guide them
astray, then tip them off to practice.
I was in the middle of get a beast, meanwhile they
was caught in my D-dash, no man, just practice.
I'll be with enough practice, no clout or digital
captions, won't send madness.
How am I going to manifest greatness?
How am I going to make bachelors?
I don't need reasons, I just need money and power.
I'm stateless.
I don't want to do it like down, like down, like
down, like that.
Left with you underhanded, a big man to the England.
I'm never gonna profit off blackness, never gonna dull a raw sadness while being sunk, so I don't do sex
Every year's the hit, from a sheep's suit, feeling way down on my shoulders
Truth, cause I'm every break, but around this moon, funny call my hat, cause I'm lawless
Truth, take it, no you leave, take it, down this moon
I'm gonna take anything, and I'll be back, get it
Truth, cause I'm taking, but I'm talking about this moon
Yeah, I was uncomfortable, but I was scared
Look at the sun, listen, they wasn't there
Nah, I'ma call them and they wouldn't dare, yeah, yeah
Got by the doctor, this game isn't fair
They lovin' the dice, I came in for cash
Feelin' it so hot, funny, I feel like I'm flyin' on it
How do you cope when it never gets you home
Bring it left you in the cold
And it's wearing heavy and it's cold
To be honest, I don't know either way I have to go
Get it together, whatever the weather
to the front of the head.
That's how I see it.
Shoot.
I'm so late.
Who's gonna make me break?
I'm proud of these fools.
I need to come right here.
Because I know that sweet chicken lady
wants to go on that school.
I'm gonna break it straight.
I'm gonna break it.
Who's gonna make me break?
I'm proud of these fools.
Get it.
I
before I get what I want to find
and shape the world to meet again
from the horizon
a witness calling your name
a whisper of the source forever leaving
Collect your civil tears
And pray they disappear
To the light of an ether to go by
The light it shows
The dark it knows
The dead hurt the spirits
Lost their restless mind
But take to find
I won't need it again
Can't you hear it?
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Now you're this calling, calling me
I whisper all the cells through their breathing
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Collect your silver deeds
And pray that I'll be the cheer
Tomorrow
Can't you hear the call?
The wind is calling my name

I see deposits every day when I'm breaking a sweat.
Minds a lot of trim on girls' grins.

At a lack of the entire
Do it every night
Big dividends, big love, big hype
Pretty lights, tap-based
Nice body, pretty face
Man, keep up with the pace
Everybody but it takes
If I show to a place
See, I know it's going off
Only money moves

I
Welcome back everybody to the Riot Games Arena for the closing day of week two here in spring.
You see the teams getting ready on stage behind us.
It's going to be Team Heretics vs GX.
But before that I want to chat about what happened yesterday, Doug.
Doug, thank you for joining me.
It felt like a fever dream. We had Finn in a Bonnie rabbit costume.
Yeah.
Fnatic beat G2. What the hell was that?
Yeah, there was a moment where I was like, I am awake.
This isn't just so weird.
Wake.
Dream work.
Yeah.
Even the couple's therapy, I was like, what's happening?
I loved it. I absolutely loved it.
And it seemed to do work for Fnatic.
It was, actually.
The couple's therapy, suddenly they were back.
I mean, Rassort upset yesterday.
Phenomenal performance from both.
Yeah, I think it was absolutely insane.
Like, I am shocked that they are able to take down G2.
I didn't think they had it in them.
But as you said, Razork, constantly playing on the Tiseland with the Pantheon,
shutting things down.
And then the boys, well, got that ball rolling so well
and it just felt like it was no longer just the upset dream
that had more going for it.
I mean, I agree.
It does have to say, broken blade in the last two games,
0-14 scoreline.
Yeah.
Even up against Bin, that didn't happen.
So I don't want to like say that Empires is better than Bin maybe,
But it's also like, I mean, key to regular season.
It's a classic.
It's the split of the Herbalays.
You can go as hard as you want here.
Best region, up to seven states in the world.
He wasn't playing for stats, guys.
True.
He was playing for stats, for upsets.
I don't think he has in a while.
I think he's insane at the moment.
And that's the thing, talking to the boys yesterday,
both Bladdy on stage and then Razorg afterwards.
They kept on saying, people don't believe in us anyway.
We don't even know if we believe in ourselves.
So we're going to show the best we can,
And they had the best showing they had for all 20-26, I feel.
So Fnatic, interesting again, question mark.
The first series we had also was GX beating SK 2&0.
Was a bit fraudulent, 2&0.
I'm not going to say 2 now because they're playing this.
I want to be excited for GYNAX so bad,
but it's like, I've seen this before.
Just like, Isma looks really good.
Suddenly, Jackie says a good game.
Lotta says a good game.
And it just becomes no engine.
If no engine doesn't carry, they can't win.
And I feel like it's going to happen again.
Tell me why I just what the thing is I'm hoping it just all happens at once
It feels like the mom we're having like Isma's and Jackie's having good games
No, and June have kind of been a little bit quiet if they can just get it all at the same time like all together
I think they're there like they have the pieces needed. What is the biggest surprise we have so far about the standings by its
Edits is doing good GX is first
G2 is back in the rightful place in fifth between fifth and seventh
I feel like, yeah, business is your business so far in the editing.
Is it shocking then?
No!
Is it just business as usual?
But yeah, I think it's good to see Vitality up there.
Like, really, I think they've really impressed me as the split has gone on
and it feels like that it's all coming together for them.
Like, Linsus has been spectacular for them in particular.
Yeah, and we'll see them a bit later facing off against M.Korey.
But for now, as we said, GX won their series yesterday
and after that series I caught up with Noah and June in an episode of Joaquin.
Hey everyone, welcome back to DOQ for a new edition with GX.Line, I have Noah and June
here.
I'm going to ask them a couple of questions for people who don't know the game.
Basically we're going to ask them some personal questions and they have their own faces here.
I'm going to give them a count of three seconds and they're going to have to pull
the answers.
They gain points when they have the same answer otherwise they do not score points.
Are you ready?
Are you ready? All right. First question is, who is the funniest 3, 2, 1...
Noah.
Noah? Okay. What is your favorite joke?
I cannot speak here I think.
You cannot speak here? Okay, okay, that's gonna be for later for people who actually
win a dinner with you guys because that's something they can do.
Second question, who dresses the best?
3, 2, 1...
I mean, I'm not, but...
Sorry, I don't know.
Okay.
So why do you think your support has the best style?
Of course Jun has more. I don't care myself. Jun cares himself so much.
Best Drift. Who rages the most?
3, 2, 1...
Okay, why did you choose Jun?
I mean he played more about Isma, later the game.
You blame your jungler?
No.
No? Why did you choose Jun?
I mean, it's just blaming everyone.
Okay, blaming everyone. Great synergy here. I love it.
Okay, who runs down the most in-game? Who's inting the most?
Okay, that one I can...
3, 2, 1...
Okay, you have something to say for yourself.
I mean, honestly, I think Jun doesn't run down many times, you know?
Okay.
But I run many times.
All right, next one who would be the best arm wrestle? Okay three two one reveal
Do you want to try?
Next one, okay who handles spicy food the best who can take spicy food the best?
three two one
reveal
All right, who is the best Senna player?
three two
One? Because that's a champion you can both play, actually.
Okay, that's why we never see your Senna at this time.
I mean, I have a 16% win rate on Senna on competition, so...
Okay.
It should be good, I think.
Okay, okay.
Who would be the best at playing off-road?
Three, two, one.
I think it's Amal.
Nice.
What is your second best role?
Jungle.
Jungle?
Yes.
What is your second best role?
I think mid and...
Mid. That makes sense.
Last question I have for you, who will have the best voice at a Nurebang night?
Who would be the best at a karaoke?
Three, two, one.
Wait, you can sing?
Yeah, I can sing.
What is your favorite song?
In English it's like Memories or something, but I'm singing more Korean songs.
More Korean songs?
Because Korokoroki's way more...
I know.
Yeah, GX. I'm talking to you guys right now. We need a karaoke content
Guys, thank you so much for coming today and thank you guys for like in your next game and that's all for us today
Hello, my name is Takspector. I used to be a bit of a pro player
So I really like breaking things down and I wanted to break down this
jungle pathing from Isma because it was just so damn clever. It starts off with
Skeens on the aggressive side. Skeens is invading and it's a classic when you see
Sen-Sao versus Vi. But Isma takes a really cool proactive approach. He goes
for the top gank while Skeens is taking his blue buff and Skeens is probably
telling Wunder, no you're fine you know I'm on your side of the map. Isma is
probably gonna try to steal the blue or there's gonna be a fight over the
blue, but Isma ignores all that and instead goes for the overextended Gwen, wonder the
spiked flashing is followed by Isma and Lot who then ends up taking him down so it's
like yeah Skeens, you got my blue buff but I don't really care because I killed your
top laner and now we see Isma opens up towards mid lane to defend Jackie's from
a potential dive, another really nice proactive play just to help his laners out and with
this he now does some really cool maneuvering around vision. So we see here, this is what SK sees.
They think to themselves, okay Vi must have gone both side, she's gonna clear her crux probably
because that's boning soon. But Isma knows what they see and he works with that information.
He maneuvers around their vision, cues over the wall so that he doesn't get spotted,
and then places down a pink ward and steals Skiin's crux. This way, even though he
he would have been down quite a bit of CS due to skins invading, he actually doesn't
lose really much CS at all. He then realizes, okay, again, skins has leader on the galley,
has the mid prowl, needs to drop his camps, so he just clears full clears back to both
sides and goes for a recall, and this is where he does another really, really clever
play to put his top laner even further ahead. So we see this ward that Wunder has on
our screen, right? And a lot of top laners, when they have this ward, they think
to themselves, okay, I don't aim to worry about anything. I got all the vision
I need that's plenty but due to how Isma walked all the way around even though he misses the queue
It doesn't matter they even got Jackie's in with the realm warp
So that means wonder now starts the game zero two and what could have been a disaster in the jungle role for Isma
turns into a huge early game lead for Gynax that they've leveraged for the rest of the game and
I mean if Isma can play like that even when he can't invade which is usually how he's found all his success
What can't he do what can't he do indeed and it's been a story about it's not just getting better and getting more stable
But I feel like so goes for the rest of GX is now was playing phenomenal yesterday
But so did Jackie's and Jackie's I feel like it's been a while since we have seen it
Yeah, I mean we saw it in the clip as well right roaming top on that bike hang to make sure that they can get the kill
And this felt like he consistent strong point for giant X in that series again
both in the rise and the ari this guy was moving everywhere and some of those
charms were clutch again and again it felt like I was just talking about
Isma and Jackie's and I think when you finally found that synergy for your mid
jungle that's where you really start to become a terror in the LEC and I'm
hoping now that we'll get to see more and more of this as Jackie starts to
come on because I like as you say like this man was picked by the algorithm and
apparently AI is getting better I don't know this man feels like he's about to
take over I'm finally excited about GX don't let me down don't let me down
Because usually this is when things go wrong.
And taking on Heretics today, I actually don't quite know what to expect.
Heretics, I feel like they got better with the change of support.
Especially when I look at Tracing in the top lane, coming in as a rookie in the league,
I feel like he found me fine.
His groove within the league in the top lane.
I feel like, I'm not sure if T-minus got better, but Tracing definitely got better.
I've been loving watching him play.
I think like up against Broken Blade, he had some really good games.
Up against Knock-Knocko, he didn't really fall behind at all,
which is kind of like, if you don't fall behind Knock-Knocko.
Which is mad. You're doing great and then he kind of stomped wonder so overall for me
He's just been the standout performer for team heretics and if there is a player to make the difference today
It's for sure him because love like we said a lot of good things about John next we did not mention love
I
Think it's also the fact that for tracing you can play so many different things like you can stick them on to a
Siren he feels like you can play the carries and as you say it feels like this is now a consistent sticking point where I think even
Giant X have identified that like they played for Tracel in several of those
ganks they tried to get him ahead and I think if that is now a strong point it
opens up so many more skirmishes in the top half.
Should beg for an interesting matchup against Lot today but before we get into all this our
amazing interviewer caught up with Shail about the upcoming game.
That's right Lot, clever as always as you or I was saying we were talking
about your top laner, Tracel. How has it been seeing him evolve in the LEC? What do you think he got better at?
I think he got better at laning phase and as well as if he has a lead to help us if we are struggling to give his lead to the team.
So I think that's the main part that he focused from winter to spring.
As someone who was once a rookie, what do you think was the most difficult thing for him adjusting to LEC?
I don't think he had much trouble to adjust. I think he had a really good potential and
he's a really chill guy. So he's just working on what he knows what to do. I think he's just
following his instincts.
Alright, instincts. That's usually what helps you at the beginning of your career and
focusing more on the heretics and the fact that you guys made changes for going
from stand to way in the bot lane. How has it been for you because we know that
jungle support connection is really important but I think there's a bit of a language
barrier between you two, so how are you guys compensating for that?
I mean in-game I translate for him, but out of-game I think a really good relation and
he's a really funny guy, not introvert at all, so it's easy to talk with him and interact.
And in-game as well I think he knows where he has to be, so I don't have much to do
and yeah I think he's doing really well right now.
Without flaming your former teammate or anything what do you think helped in bringing
him to the team, how did you guys get better with Wai? Because we saw the improvements last week.
I think he just has a better laning phase and speaking Korean with the ice maybe helps
as well so I would say better laning phase and yeah.
Okay a couple words on today's game, a player that we've been talking a lot about is Isma
in the jungle and the fact that he goes for some wacky invades, a lot of aggression in the
early game which actually reminds me of you and what you're really good at. So how do you
What do you play around this kind of playstyle? What do you have to keep in mind when playing against Isma?
It reminds me of the good old days of me invading, so yeah.
I think maybe I will invade him, and he will be surprised whatever you say.
Maybe I will do one camp to invade, something like that.
I will counter invade, you know. If he wants to invade me, I will invade first.
A lot of surprises and keep an eye on the jungle here.
Any words on GX? What can we expect from them?
Because we never know what you think about this team.
I don't think you can expect much. I think we'll win 2-0.
Okay, I don't think they're that good. Love it. Sheo, merci beaucoup. Bonne chance. Good luck today and over to the game actually
Yeah, bonne chance
Especially when team heretics have a bit of confidence like that saying the GX on that good specifically Shairo
As we've walking you to the next day of the LEC the last of week to my name is certs and join my videos
And we're gonna run you in this very subtle mumbay. Thank you Jackies
as we get you in to our first
game. First best of three of
the day. I'm hoping for an
exciting one yesterday. GX. They
came out with a pretty solid
performance. They're frustrating
a bit, though, because I feel
like that they're really close
to being really, really, really
good, and they have these
sequences and moments where it
feels like, Oh, wow, this is
really high level play. This
is really good. And then they
just kind of fumble it. I
the game. And then you know,
you know, the game is not
challenging is more where he's
getting to say, Hey, sometimes
the best place to not make any
play at all. And as it was like,
Yeah, I would agree. And then
it goes. Well, then why didn't
you do that? Uh and that's
sometimes my frustration with
GX. Sometimes it feels like
they can put themselves in
really good positions, uh,
and then kind of fumble the
advantage that they then
gain it very kind of silly
ways that don't make a ton
at GX's performance over the last two years, especially with this roster, like 4th, 5th
place is that position they've been competing against. And so it's an up-to-up alpha heretics
even with the introduction of way in the bottom.
Remember since the name change, since becoming GYNAX, I mean it has been a scaling effort
of 8, 7, 6. And then as you say, now it's 5th and 4th, 4th in the last playoffs getting
knocked out by KC. Was their best run yet? So expectations of GYNAX should be
growing with their improvement growing in the LEC. Team Heretics there was a lot of talk about
Tracen and I love that because not only is it top laner but I think because it's a top laner who
got outshattered last split when there are a lot of stars rising to the occasion alongside Broke
and Blade and the Khaners of the league Tracen was left out. This split already fantastic start
for a team that hasn't been super strong he's been in the limelight as we get into
pick and ban for you as well. GX second pick on the blue side here, Team Herodix on red,
so they'll get first pick and we'll find out if they're going to get that virus, because
straight away I can tell you that he, we've got mages off the board, Zin's out on the other side,
there goes Mundo, things like the virus are available with the Azir to throw that in as well.
I do feel like virus has fallen off a little bit in terms of priority though. I feel like
Karma is the go-to first pick in general, and Ezreal is the usual pairing alongside it,
It's good, so um, but Ash Seraphine right like oh, yeah, so we we heard from Hans yesterday in the sideline that you can
The Ash Seraphine is a little bit weaker than the Ezreal Carla especially an early push
Whether or not GX decide to go that direction though because right now they are hovering the virus
We know that Noah does have an extensive history on the champion
It seems that that is the direction that he is feeling right now
By gonna be paired alongside it
one of the split and she said like I'm through from is no plate where it so
that was a mistake that yeah are we remaking yeah we're we're making big
man I think okay all right yeah there's no way cuz that was way too confident for
a garen boy yeah there was an instant garen lock in which I I'm assuming was
is a mistake or a bug or something.
Wrong pick, remaking the lobby.
Naughty Naughty, bit of a miss click.
I'm just going to confirm that apparently it's going to be Aurora.
So that's going to be the lock-in instead.
Blind Aurora, not too uncommon in the current meta.
If A and G are not together, and especially when you go on pitfair, they're not really near each other.
So, a lot of teams will just click, you can click the roll in Jam Slite, so that you don't
have to, which I'm now wondering, like I wonder if that, no I have no idea, how you got to
Garen from Aurora?
I guess Aurora is probably now in the top category, because she's been played top so
much in the run.
I'm looking at my keyboard, like, AU and GA, would you, I don't...
Maybe they did R first, but then you'd get other champions instead.
Yeah, I don't, yeah, how Garen came to be locked in, I have no idea.
That's a really good question.
I'm hoping we can get, maybe we can get a replay, you know what that is.
You know what? Maybe we're just going to lock in the Garen and then blame it on a mistake.
Now of course, joking aside, we'll get that big fan running up for you again.
Don't worry, it'll be the Aurora getting locked in.
So, yeah, and I'm glad.
I don't know if on the tournament realm, I guess we don't get the Pingu Garen, do we?
You know, for the, you know, April falls right now.
Garen's changing game. He's Pingu. He's a penguin.
Oh. He's actually.
I actually haven't played League since then in Newpatch, so I didn't know that.
Oh no, he's base skinned because April Fool's, he's a penguin.
Damn.
Nice.
Cool.
What is it?
I also heard that Carthus is creating chaos in games as well, because he's ult, he just
casts it every now and then.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Not dead.
Cool, you played as much League as I have!
I mean, no.
I've just been playing a bit of Brawl.
There you go, there's the Aurora game close to the Garen, but that probably gets locked
in.
So, where were we?
The Viome out the side?
Ezreal. Should be the one.
Ezreal feels right.
Yeah. I mean, into Vi as well.
I feel like you want a little bit of more mobility,
but the whole point behind Vi is you've got a little bit...
Oh, okay, right, well...
So a lot of my expectations are going to rise so far in this draft.
Karma, Jhin.
That's...
...is a little bit surprising.
It's a match of Varus, I guess.
So this is Ice's first Jhin of the split.
It is.
Uh, I'm double-checking.
Like, I'd be shocked if he's never played Varus before,
because that seems unrealistic.
Jin rather, yeah, okay, he's got 21 games on Jin.
Only a 42% win rate on it though.
I feel like Ice says La Blanc gets locked in.
I'm talking about that second is just one of his comforts,
one of his favorites that we saw last foot as well.
The Jackies, La Blanc locked in.
Now remember that Aurora can technically be a flex
as we've seen it into things like the rumble.
You know what's even more surprising?
Rumble is open.
Yes. And we've completely gone past it.
Because we're not expecting it to be.
It's just sitting there.
It should be, I mean I was gonna say Heretic set up a Jarvan Rumble right now, but Jarvan's already banned away, also Jarvan to the Blanc a little bit nasty, but it doesn't matter.
Pantheon right now, very valuable. Very, very valuable for Heretic especially. I feel that Aurora plus Panth would be very difficult to, like that instant stun against Champions like a LeBlanc, the ulti against Avarus I think is extremely valuable.
The heretics should just pinch supports right now.
They should pinch.
Yep, Bard is a very good one.
You can also, is Lulu a possibility?
Or instead, is it an engaged support
that they have to be worried about?
We saw Mickey's rail yesterday.
We did.
Which we haven't seen in ages,
but it's a lot better than I expected.
I mean, Mickey was on fire yesterday, I thought.
I thought that dude was really trying
to handle that tier.
He's like, one of the best days of Mickey
I've seen in a while.
Absolutely.
Well, will they consider the rail today, GX?
Of course, in a meta that feels very dominated by range supports, the fact that POPPY's band
indicates to me that GX is thinking about a Rakan, and the NAR band, so heretics, I
guess they're going to have to blind Sion slash Kasante, probably, but then I don't
know if I like this draft coming through the heretics.
I feel like Jynex also one support way from
me watching themselves find out as you said
preparing for Alistar would be another option you mentioned Rakan but
either way it's an engaged support nevertheless. Is it this horrible in Takama?
Well the lane must not be fun you know against
against Karma and Jin that does sound like your one step up from just being
free. Well I mean it is an engaged support
it works nicely with the Vi against Jin I guess they feel like they don't
They just want a little bit more of a front line, especially if they're going to play more of a carry top.
At least they've got a champion that feels comfortable face-checking, which is always a helpful thing to have.
There's a Casante that we kind of expected.
But how do they round this draft out? Is it just PAM?
Is that just...
Is that like they're engaged super limited?
Yeah.
Oh, I would not have yanked nicely.
That's how you do it.
That's how you do it. That's perfect for this draft.
Yeah, I forgot that yeah, it would be perfect exactly. I agree. Okay, lock it in
Bit more engaged you worried about being gauged that's gonna fix it someone a little bit. Yeah, I
Mean they they why?
Yeah, I'm better by Alistair very strong combo. I
Mean, I'm surprised in a draft like this that we didn't get to see Noah's kaiser
But with the virus open he felt that he had to grab it for the team looks like they're gonna round this draft out
So I mean GX they've got strong poke strong dive the the thing that always concerns me about
Vi virus is like I do think that Leblanc her purpose should be that of a poke champion later on into the game
And so think about you're on an objective Leblanc tries to find these pockets of dogma
She comes over the wall she chunks you out
She teleports back a virus hitting you with his long-range cues. That's really cool
This cop works if you're patient and if the poke lands
But on paper, you don't have a lot of damage, but by going for Ambesa plus five, they do then have a lot more damage coming through from the top side.
The downside of this composition is I think with any poke comp, if you fall behind early, it's really difficult to get back.
Because the Wukong will just kind of keep steam rolling, but admittedly, that heretics don't have a lot of engage,
which is what poke compositions generally struggle against.
If you're not given the opportunity to actually land your poke and then a fight just immediately breaks out, then your poke is a little bit less valuable.
So a lot of responsibility is going to be put on the show to actually find these fights and and force the issue
Before the poke can come through whether my heretics is going to be able to pull it off
This is gx we're gonna need to leverage their range demonstrate some patience and run those skill shots boy
That sounds like a recipe for disaster. I mean for gx. I'm worried about their patience because Betty
We all know going into the mid game even though this is a two and zero team giant x
Confidence and not getting caught out and setting up patiently for me raises some concerns
but hey for GX they can play their time and go quietly into this mid game rather than explosively
you know what I'm trying to say. Giant X don't pull the gun, don't pull the trigger, look at the word.
I think he got it the second time. Definitely didn't, but let's pretend I did. At the very
least for Giant X what harder comp to pull off you think? I mean for Team Herodix it's very
zone based, I mean with the Cassante as well they have a steady frontline betty
And a lot of easy triggers to pull out where I'm talking about the Aurora the gin and how they set up their zone control
So I think that's
Aurora
Jolly
Strikes again, and he got two of them and that just says no literally just says no
We need answers. How does that make any sense?
We need a bit of straight and why don't we put on a comment that just says no
I guess it just said no, I guess that was the two-part story
He saw Garen then he got upset. What power does Jolly Man possess?
He's got to be the son of someone at Rhyles, I don't give a fuck.
Or he's got leverage over whoever makes the decisions.
I think they do. Like, oh, there's a good comment.
We should put this in the broadcast here. Shout out Jolly Man.
The Jolly Man, the secret. There's something here, sir.
I'm not gonna be mean to Jolly Man. Who knows? He could be in control of my job.
You know? Shout out Jolly Man, love what you do.
W's in the chat for Jolly Badman.
W's in the chat for Jolly Badman.
W's in the chat for Jolly Badman.
Anyway, Barlain is going as we expected.
It is very one-sided in the Alistar yourself.
This isn't really a surprise.
Viola and Jun just have to do their best as Ice gets punted away.
Jumla's doing opposite-path thing as Isma's going to path up towards top.
I think, I quite like this, because I think getting a lot a little bit ahead, oh no he's going there, okay I like this too.
Well it's good step away from Saren, he just draws back and Jackie's jumps in with a sigil as well, good little poke damage both mid and late as well.
There's a clone out, it's a small cooldown that Jackie's now doesn't have.
Spam and take notes, yesterday they also had a conversation with Isma about why he spams take notes.
I don't think we got a why I don't think we got a why but we did get a it'll be different next split
He said next split maybe you're changing. Oh, it's a next split? Yeah. Yeah. No, okay. Good cuz we need a different amount
I think he said next week. Oh, I'm hoping it's there. I was kind of hoping it would be next week
Yeah, you know like a slightly shorter time line
We have dealt with this for about a year and a half to be fair
They didn't say one fight from June great ball right back ice is taking turret aggro
And he flushes away from the trample who get out but that's a punish from June to get some soliners
Okay, so now a big target appears on Ice's head.
And Isma's focus is going to shift slightly.
Perhaps we will see a gank in the bottom side of the map very soon.
I hope so.
Nice play from Jun.
Sets up for Isma to be proactive on the map.
He already fished around middle lane.
I think he's didn't quite work out enough.
Shaiyo.
And a ward.
It's a bit of a fight of his own.
Jun is healthy enough and Noah the same as well.
It's an awkward timing.
It's a very awkward timing.
The wave is too big.
It's also a cannon wave,
so it's going to take ages to be pushed in,
wasting a lot of time if he sticks around, but he's going to stick around.
They've decided enough poke has landed. Ooh, good route.
That's a very nice, yeah, Noah now at half HP and a lot of trouble, but Flash available, no combat summoner.
Shared the easy game, all the energy to do is land and CC, June gets away the karma,
and Waze tanks up, Flash to the Waze, from the arrow in the quiver.
First blood goes over to Ice, June survives, but Noah does not with a big wave missed.
Beautiful dive, TP onto Noah meant that he had no defensive summoners that he could use,
And the flash, you didn't even bother to expend because you realized, well, why am I even going to flash too?
Ismaq now finally on the bot side of the map after doing his full clear, TP back in from Noah,
but yeah, great start here from Heretics, then make the dive look smooth.
This is possible because of the pulse that they're able to land on Noah.
An early heal comes out, but it's just not enough.
Good aggro management starts with Waze, shifts over to Ice, and then Shira takes that last shot,
which means they're not really at any danger of the trade back coming through from GX.
We're already out of CS lead from that pushing as well with the wave denial and this big minion wave you see on your screen.
Pushing against Team Herodic spot lane.
There's gonna be a massive lead for this Jhin.
And we're questioning in draft. We're kind of expecting the Ezreal.
We've got the Jhin in this first game. We've got Ice's comfort.
And now we're kind of seeing why Deadly Farsh,
On to Nile once again, the GX bottom lane in trouble.
Waste steps up here though and exposed Jhin.
We'll find the Karma.
Trample coming out. They turn their attention to Ice.
The 2v2 will continue with an inspiring at the showdown, but who's here?
It's Isma with an early gank surprise surprise as I stop and have a fight
He lost it before kill stolen way, but Isma fighters to secure the second one over to June one to Isma
And a perfectly timed gank puts giant X back in charge
Yeah, an excellent shift from Isma in his passing. He's starting on his bot side after his reset
He clears both his Raptors and his Krugs and says you know what my bot lane needs a gank
They need a gank because if they don't things gonna be very dire on the what side of the map
especially with Sheo pathing back towards bot. So Isma with some really nice timing and good execution
helps make a double kill happen in the bottom side. And again, you can see they're trying to zone them
away, but keep around the mini-map. Look at how the Vi rotate behind vision. The bottom line of
heretics have no idea that this Vi is on its way. And just as heretics is retreating to the
safety of their tower, Isma arrives and sets up for two kills.
I think Parma's way may be caught out again. How about Polvarai's juniors is getting great
engage is so far in this game.
Trample locks down way and remembers someone's on the bottom line.
Ain't there a jockey?
Heads forward with a chain.
Get shared, caught out the clone.
I think the timing down is no.
It just pops back up.
Shado escapes from the range of Noah.
But Dragon wasn't taken.
So GX stopped that.
OK.
GX being very proactive on the map.
And it looks like they're not done quite yet.
Isma wants to steal away this glove.
And again, it's just June leading the way.
And no pun intended as Isma.
Happy staying this trade.
Ice over the wall.
Trying to get some range.
It's deadly first dodge by Juni. Steps up, steps back and Gynx will walk it out. It's
all of Isma's aggression all around this dragon denial.
That bottom wave needs to be caught by Noah Asep. You can see he's only just now going
to tick over to level 5, but that should be a dragon secured. Top lane trade likely.
Not going to result in a huge amount, but I love this response from GX. The fact
that Isma comes back out onto the map, clears his wolves and says you know what,
I think you can actually fight this dragon rather than just doing it clear through his top side and just doing the conventional pathing
He's adapting evolving and he's trying to punish and he gets a successful punish against heretics and ism is still down here
Jun's got an angle hasn't been spotted out in the tri brush heretics lane has to push up to get the minion wave
Look at where it is. Ismael waits. He's got his cease and desist available on a warm out of course during the angle
I said before was perfect right into ice, which still doesn't have flash
I think it's a couple of seconds off coming of cooldown
There it is, finally gets him out.
Not only just get him out of dodge,
Ice runs back, Summoners down again,
but Isma is bullying this lane with Jun landing good CC.
So they do get the Summoners out,
but at a certain point you're investing too much time into game.
It's important that you are still clearing through your camps
and you're being efficient where you can
because now the downside is he has to do a full clear
and these camps are going to be spawning later and later
the longer that he delays them.
Meanwhile, Shale already out on the map,
is already clearing through his camps but we'll see if it pays off that
gank later on because ice losing more farm no summoners available these are
very susceptible for any upcoming fight. Remember he's about 20 CS up now it's
pretty much even the gold was about 700 if I can recall correctly is he's not
spotting out there's Wukong, Shairo pops over Cyclone is available as
Jackie's backs away with the double distortion but as you said Betty really
good point I missed here that Shairo is now going to the in base because
the camps. There's too many of them available. Isma has to clear up. He's walking now. Shoe
thinks, okay, I'm going to go to Grubbs instead. But at the very least, topside is Shoe's domain.
Yeah, I mean, it's something that people at home can probably often relate to where
sometimes you feel like that jungler can just perma-camp your lane, and it feels horrible
in the moment that the long-term consequences can be severe. We'll see if there are
Annie is right now the contest over the Grubs is not there yet.
Both Raker in or out, Grubs taken out, that's all three.
Jacky's gets the burst, Wade flashes away.
Saren hops over between the Valsmina, has a hotline again,
and interrupting on between worlds with the Flash matches instead going over to Wade.
Jun, he got a trample flash.
Jacky's gets the chain there, the arrow from Noah,
and Jacky's to claim the kill onto Wade.
Jun just doesn't stop going in, three for three on KP so far.
So, I mean, it's debatable if the play really worked out,
and I kind of have, like, questions, because,
I mean, they ultimately committed five members to that play,
didn't get a Herald, and got one kill.
And meanwhile, Ice was just sitting bot lane,
he got two turret plates, he was able to throw the wave,
and that CS discrepancy that you were just talking about,
then rebuilds for the AD carry.
Meanwhile, Tracin also got plates of his own,
while Heretics also got the grubs.
So I felt like it was just a big commitment from GX,
They didn't really need to commit that much, but it looked good. Well, they got one kill. I mean, yeah, but that looks good
Yeah, we'll see if it ends up benefiting Jx as they extend to 1k
There's an all-out public execution gonna buffer it as well lock it down with the drag-count seven flashes
Flash away from Tracen who we get on this Kassade. He's doing good things to team heretics
This champ is just something special isn't it? Well, here comes Isma looking for another game
That's one out of the all-out looks for the flip. Lot is still low, but now he's got no matter but coming back into normal mode
Trace is just gonna die. Take notes on that one as once again Isma in a lane
I think this one is gonna be a lot bigger than the previous games
I mean one thing we cannot deny is Isma's impact on them, right?
It was a huge conversation yesterday in this series against SK and it continues to be a conversation in this matchup
As he is just doing as much as he can to set his team up for success
Gangs in the bottom lane. He started the game with an early gank in mid lane. He's now ganking top lane.
He's contesting every objective. He's just trying to be super proactive on the map.
Look, he's skipping caps and going straight to bot.
Alright, why not? Season 2 Sys is up and available. No one's going to get the push. It could turn into a dive.
Wait is down here. I need to look at the minimap because my eyes can't really focus in.
Okay, Ice is quickly behind him with the curtain call. But is much spot out on the trap.
business still setting its season to season in pocket and team heretics have to pay respect
okay well the idea I actually really like from Isma because earlier on he committed a lot in
order to get Isa's flash and I think you want to punish that fat so it seemed to me that that
was very much the game plan head straight towards bottom lane commit your ultimate catch
ice and lay off guard maybe get a kill onto the flash list in so I will find it he does
Burn a heal out from way that flash remise is going to be available soon
Ultimately though Isma's not going to lose a huge amount from that early again. Can Jix just continue to build a goldly dragon spawned in 20 seconds?
Isma can clear his bottom camps resets can come through from Noah and Jurn
It is exactly what's going to happen right now as we'll see a fight for the second dragon of the game
2k goldly shows you that giant X are going to be in control for it as well
Would be the second dragon double distortion forward take notes. Oh that person's then close to Isma
So I see it as fall break it in instead. He's been decided to fight share with the cycle and the punish
He's gonna get double here knock up doesn't kill in more even get close season the sisters
John once again with the angle for the engage
He just pulverize that one now headbutts way away
Nice that's the flash up the back of the fight in giant X immediately fine control of river
Yeah, it was an ambitious contest for that try brush from chair
He's thinking to himself while this Vi is alone and we have two members surely this is an easy trade
But GX were already resetting back out onto the map. GX had that tempo advantage, they collapsed first, and they had the numbers now, Sarin in danger.
Second chain comes in, the route comes in and interrupts.
She wouldn't get the headbutt, Polarize Sarin has to flash away.
The timing of that unfortunate for Sarin, as he has to burn a summoner to survive.
Jackie's continuing to build a bigger lead in middle lane.
We're gonna look back at the play, and again, just look at the minimap. Two members are on the top side of the river.
Ice is here with Shea, Noah is also in the area, it's a 2 vs 2, but the collapse of
Jurn is simply faster. Jack is on his way as well. And this is why I was doing an
ambitious contest just because the numbers were in favour, the map state was
better for GX and it ends up being the jungler dropping and a dragon secures
for GX with a kill on top as well. I mean it has felbs a bit scrappy and again
we talked about like well the over-commitment of ganks, what's Isman
doing in bot and can Shea punish? As you said in the previous play when
when talking about grubs, like, yes, Team Herodix got something,
but Yzma kept going.
And this early game has a fault.
There's all that's going to be used here.
Double turret shot onto Lod.
But not enough damage to shit.
Jackie's made the roam up, Jun, as well.
This is turning into a dive, and with all that,
he's squishy, public execution, and dead in an instant.
Lott lands everything, and Jun just can't miss this game,
either.
Yeah, and players like this, I love to see, as well,
from Jax.
They're basically a band on the bot side.
They've committed their resources up towards top.
Yzma still has time to be able to clear through his camps,
because he has spent a lot of this game ganking and Jun now feeling really unlocked on the map is making plays happen instead.
This is exactly what you want to be seeing from your jungle support combo,
where they can help cover for each other, all of the responsibility doesn't fall onto Ism's shoulders.
And GX, they're making Magic happen, 3.4K, the gold lead, absolutely smurfing here in this early game.
And they're off to a fantastic start.
And look, their strength of schedule has been varied, like SK was a wipe and obviously it should have been
if Giant X want to be a top 14 that match up against the Madigunets in questions, but
they definitely scaled into the series. I would say for GX, it's looking a little bit
different from previous splits, Vettie, because more members are stepping up to the plate.
It was just about Noah and Jun can they carry. Noah's being pretty quiet in this game.
Jun has been very loud, and Isma once again dominating the early game is giving more
options for those solo laners, so that Giant X are just sitting back and relaxing,
knowing that team heretics have to over commit so much more in his 4k gold lead game.
Absolutely. And you talked about the schedule earlier, and for GX, these wins are just really important,
but we might not have time as Waze, he's in a bit of trouble here.
He's fine now, bolt breaker in, Waze, as you said, season to season as well, keeps him in place.
Waze flash is available, gets over the wall, but now Shiro's stuck here as well.
A bolt breaker going to keep him in place, that deadly flash from Ice, doesn't get anywhere near the fight,
as Chainz's corruption flushed away from.
Xeo gets out in this choke, but again, it's all GX win,
all the time as Team Heretics are forced out of their own jungle again.
Nice invade from GX, good use of the prior,
and just the lane approach as Jackie is going for a fight against Saren.
Saren gets rooted down, Jackie's doing okay in the 1v1
and has consistently been up in CS in this game ever so much
as Sigil comes in, distortion was used, waiting for the Chainz.
I don't believe the electrocute is available, but Saren has higher respect regardless.
Tart plating is all that Jackie's wants and he's going to get it.
Good bullying there from Jackie's in the 1 vs 1.
He's going to get more damage done onto this top tower.
This opens up the Herald for Isma to secure uncontested.
The reset coming through from Noah.
He has his TP available as well, should he need to collapse.
Add a sudden notice.
Top side then becomes the weak side for GX with which
Haratix is looking to try and pounce.
Can you dive this?
I mean maybe they just want the Tart plating in to get out.
because a lot with the buff on the whole team makes it a little bit sketchy.
Ceren is shadowing in the lane. Maybe that'll do it.
Jun reads the play though. He's on his way towards bot lane,
he's here to offer assistance. He's here in time.
He's here as a heal and blocker too. Other than the turret,
there's a lot with the poke and rather Ceren,
she's the weeding and gets out. But Jun, the shadowing, great.
Yeah, and that's very awkward for Heretics because you've committed four people onto the bot side.
Top tower will go down in favour of Jankies,
who this game a little bit quiet, but ultimately he's bought a 2k gold Ignore now out of position.
He's a pretty deep in the mid lane. That's Yomu to get out. He flashes out of the world,
Curtain call and the knock up and Cher just takes the kill for himself.
Curtain call going to be used on the wave, but I've seen this before from Jionix.
I've seen Noa on barra's couple times this split. Caught out again in mid. It's happened before.
Yeah, a bit of an overstep from him. It looks like that he was walking into the river because it was lit up.
He felt pretty safe, but he didn't quite respect the fact that that bot side of the map
he did lose control of when they were contesting that bot tower. The bot tower wasn't secured
for heretics but they do find themselves a kill. They get something small back but ultimately this
game is still very much in GX's control and they're doing a really good job of snowballing it. That
mid tower seems to be the next point of contention with the Herald secured as well. They can drop
this into the middle lane and they can even then convert towards bot or alternatively they'll
They'll use it bot lane, but that's hard.
Go, so no health bar used.
Yeah, this is kind of why I was surprised.
Oh, I mean, the ones that got me there anyway.
Yeah, fair enough, fair enough, I'm bad.
They might even get inner charge,
trace them hanging in the fog of war.
This looks ideal for GX.
Send this, oh, let's get it off, okay.
Okey dokey.
It's a really lag.
And it gets off the plates down anyway.
You're gonna take the jungle on the way through.
This is like, this is a great game of League of Legends
GS this is this is like
LEC perfect right now. Yeah, I mean
The notes like
My main criticism was like was it my game too much
Yeah, right like in the sense that could other junglers have punished him right now
You know like a skew like skew on in this example. Yes, I'm just taking the whole top side
That's what I'm saying. It's like the but that shouldn't take away from the fact that
that he did what I think he needed to at the right times.
When his bot lane was in a bit of danger,
he used the pocket of vision
to find a nice bot gank to punish.
I like the fact that he punished the all-in
from Tracin and the topside as well.
And once he's gotten these leads,
he hasn't slowed down with invading either.
And it's really important to highlight
how important Jun has been in conjunction with him as well,
because Jun's playmaking has been really valuable.
He's also then been unlocked on the map
to start roaming around and making plays of his own.
And the Jungle Support combo has been fantastic.
And none of this even talks about the fact
that Jackie's has just been very solid in the middle playing.
He's been building up a lead,
he's winning a side lane matchup,
and all of the pressure that he's generating
is then allowing both his Jungle and Support
to do exactly what they're doing.
So, huge credit to GX.
This is looking like a very clean game one.
But now that we're getting closer to 20 minutes,
hysterics, we're gonna have to get the notepad out
once again and see how they progress because we've seen GX with these kind of leads before and sometimes they
They make these silly mistakes at this point in the game
So I'm hoping with a lead like this there should be very much of one game
Let's see if they can close this one out cleanly
That's what would show us that GX mean business better and better each and every split and
Giant X trying to put a statement here in the LEC team heretics
They should walk over much like they did SK they've beaten fanatic who just came off a beating G2
So Gianeks wants to get into discussion like we did last week with the best team.
And with plays like that on the ice, maybe you're thinking, so too is.
What has to run on out? The play and their show are going to punish.
They're winning pretty deep gifts in the mid lane.
Curtain call. Is this the play that we were worried about?
Dream getting low, no one else taking up.
He's in harm's way between Lock from Sarin.
Lock's down, Noah slows down the rest and Gianeks have to keep on running.
They've already lost their ready carry and the play from team Herodix
is good out of defense on the inner turret.
That could have gone even worse than GX.
If Isma had died, Baron spawns right now
and that could have been disastrous.
So again, we come back to a conversation we had
at the very start of the cast.
Something that Odo asked Isma yesterday,
sometimes isn't the best play, just no play at all.
And the question I then have is
was the dive really necessary here from GX?
Because with Baron spawning soon,
they had pressure in mid, they had pressure in top,
They could just be playing for control of the top jumble, which they fully have.
Committing to this dive, just opens yourself up for counter play,
and then Heretic's doing exactly that.
They go for the counter play, Varus has no flash available to him,
the TP flank comes through and they get themselves a pick on the melt.
So, one kill, you're right, it could have been a lot worse.
But for Team Heretic, it's still something here in this game.
The Dolby tree's a little bit more, Isma has to flash,
And Giant X getting a little bit egregious here around this mid lane once again.
Baron is now up and could be capitalized on if another mistake is made.
But likewise, Team Heretics need to control vision around this area
because GX are now hovering and making sure that no deep vision will exist.
So an easy option that they can consider is just, as they're doing right now,
contesting these top counts, but just start Baron to get a TP.
You have two TP's to one, get the TP out from Tracer, then back off,
reset back out on the map and now knowing that you have a TP advantage given that they'll have no TP's available
You can then play towards sideline which Jackie's is already dominating no one can really handle him on the sideline
So you can send him down bot. He can just sit there pushes lead pushes lead pushes lead
And you can just chip away at these towers while also controlling to the dragons. That's one option
Yeah, what's the other alternatively you could just create fog of war and then again use Jackie's to just pick people off
because think about it you push a bot lane you push in mid lane you then
control that bot side vision they want to come and contest vision so they can
look to try and challenge dragon and then lying away is a LeBlanc ready to
one-shot your support right so GX have a plethora of options with how they
want to progress. What if I raised you and said let's dive mid again? Okay I
would say that of the list of options that's pretty low on my list but
it's not the bottom is it? No there are things at the bottom. Okay there
There is 50-50 in a Baron.
That sounds good.
That's right down there at the bottom.
I mean, doing Baron as a baron as a LeBlanc doesn't always sound that appealing,
but I'd love to see it.
Dragon's up in 20 seconds. That's also probably a better option.
I feel like Soul here for Giant X and the setup within it should be a freebie
as Team Heretics have to run into again this dark map.
This is ideal. You have to face check into LeBlanc, Varus, Alistar.
Like, Jackie's is doing exactly what he needs to do. Just that threat of him being in the...
And now, Ambesa putting pressure on the top side of the ground.
I think with TP is a little too early.
I do feel like that the Ambesa had a lot of free time to just kind of do whatever lot wanted to do.
Could have even maybe even secured that tower. There's no rush.
There's no eagerness for them to have to fight right now.
Especially given that their drag and take isn't the fastest.
I'll just drown out on the zone though.
And he's here on the wing.
Bind, Saren jumps in, Shara then picks his target but not going to commit the cyclone yet.
Team Heronix still getting poked down and there's what Betty said in the draw.
All about the poker. Shara gets doubled distortion on just about.
Jackie throws away deadly fire. He will survive as his climb goes down the end.
And Dragon with Sol now in pocket, Gion X can win the fight handedly.
Shara's over the wing. He hasn't pulled his trigger yet.
And he ties to a couplet execution from what?
Team Heronix gets overrun at this time.
I think it's vastly better with Team Heretics losing two more members than we initially expected.
They're out of the back, Jydex chased it down, and with the Soul and the Baron now, this feels like a done deal again.
Beautiful play from Jacky's. He does exactly what he needs to do.
Just chunks someone out, and it's the jungle of all people, making it even harder for Heretics to contest that dragon.
Really good control. A little bit of eagerness there from GX, but ultimately a very good secure.
They convert that damage into two picks.
That's going to be the Baron. They get the top tower as well.
This game looks done and dusted with a soul and a Baron.
GX looking good here again.
A nice better setup this time around when looking at the replays. How?
They got this dragon soul.
And again, so much of the credit needs to go to Jacky's.
Yes, he trades his HP for the enemy junglers, but he's got his TP.
He can go back to base. He can then rejoin the crew, but he doesn't need to.
because with the damage shown on the show, and I split away from the team,
GX recognises that they have the numbers advantage,
and they can keep chasing for this play.
They get two kills, the most important one being the gentleman, the smile is gone,
the Baron becomes uncontestable, and GX secure themselves another objective.
So overall, well played.
I am nitpicking at some of the plays that GX are making,
and I want them to take away from the fact that they are ultimately
playing a very solid game here, and looking pretty clean here in Game 1.
That show, I think he's on a ward, he's spotted out, he's on a full cycle and comes early, but
Cease in to Cis matches him before he can clone out,
Show's now dead and Team Herodix moves any chance of engage or disengage
All the side-targets starting to fall without Baron buff,
Giant X's Siege has now become that much easier.
Yeah, I mean, with the numbers advantage, with the Baron, you can leave Jackie's in a side lane.
3.5 KD into a digital lead for him.
His pressure on the side lanes is monstrous this game, and now you can see his damage really coming through.
They're just jumping over the wall. They don't care.
Lot of mistakes is ulti, so that's good for Team Heretics.
But the minions are doing the rest.
Mid turret's gonna fall.
Side wave is coming in once again.
And as you said, Jackies will control that.
So Team Heretics, bare minimum here in this play.
They're gonna be losing double inhibitors.
And that's a show.
Stop respawning now.
26 minutes in, if they're already taking apart
these inhibitors, start to finish.
They've largely dominated.
Gendon forced to ult just yet.
He also has ocean style, so it makes it hard.
They can go for the engage room, get some of the health back.
Hail of Ares is good damage and no one needs to be reached by Shaiyo.
But he doesn't have his ulti up and available, so this defense becomes a little bit harder.
However, Jionx might be backing off anyway, turned a little bit low.
And Baron's already done enough damage with a minute of it to go to make, potentially, another play.
I'm a little bit surprised that they chose to base there.
I guess that they've set their sights instead on top lane.
Playing through these two lanes can be a little bit more challenging
the TP comes through from Noah towards top. They still have that Baron buff. They want to make
as much shadow of it as possible. He's delaying killing the minion so that he can try and sink it
up with mid lane a little bit more. They've now collapsed onto top just as the reset's coming through.
Alright, fair play. That was very nice. Kind of caught the fact that Team Heretics over
committed resources towards bottom mid, left top lane available, quickly secured that objective.
There should be the second mid here with a 4 lane.
He doesn't go baron power play as well.
Maybe gianeks look for the end. I mean all back up here for a lot. All five available.
The Alistar can dive with the unbreakable will.
Under the next attire, it's Chuck he says goes in.
He gets waged flushed out immediately or rather just disparaged up from the spot
setting up for the private execution and it's an easy dive.
GX continue to make the play and Sharon now brings out the cyclone
but look, Ismajor is turning to go in with his GA available as well.
And jumping in, GiantX still the next is tight, not doing enough damage to call off the fall breakers back on in.
Who cares? GiantX knows that even if a couple of members die, this game is done in dust.
The Team Heretics haven't exposed Nexus, and GiantX outside of a couple of little blips
made this game one look easy here on a Monday afternoon.
Very clean game one from GX.
Well, there's a couple things that you can nitpick, but overall, the level of confidence,
the level of execution, and very well delivered from GX.
And again, this conversation keeps coming back to Isma.
He's here in the game the way he's assisting his lanes, the impact that he is having.
You can see the growth that he has made this split as he is becoming a superstar for this
team.
Now, Isma, John, absolute stars of the show in game number one.
Team Erics, I don't think they really got to play, Jack.
You're at ref.
My name's Jackson, but you may call me the referee today.
gonna break down some absolutely illegal lanes even though the quality here is a
little bit bad it's gonna be quite obvious what you're seeing on your screen
first of all we got Isma going for a gank on Saren
Saren he's too far pushed up he's too far he's too far pushed up that's illegal
but the noob mid laner jackies misses the E so I'm gonna have to bring out my
cards that's just a yellow card just a yellow card no death there no death there
for him but it's quite alright because Isma goes back to the jungle we're gonna
continue clearing our camps until there is another illegal move but you know how
it goes sometimes there's gonna be an extended period of time where you're
just clearing camps it's all good we're gonna be taking notes Isma I love
what you're doing it's just an eventual camp clear but we have a little bit of a
problem here another problem the bot lane of Gynix it's quite blurry but you
can see it on your screen you don't need high HD to see this this is this a red
card for Gynix this a red card I'm gonna have to bring out my red card for this
this is a red card they're both dead they've taken a lot of bad trades so
they both end up falling but Isma Isma is the prime time referee of this
game because he knows that if he just clears to top right now, if he just clears
to top it's gonna be a big big problem for Gionix. His bot lane they got dope,
they got that red card, we already talked about that, but now you can see Isma
instead of clearing up to top he avoids the vision of the crab here.
Beautiful, beautiful by him which allows him, he also puts the pink ward just
in case they have an extra ward and that way he walks around and now he
pass around, he gets into the bot lane try bush and look at that, would
Would you look at that? Would you look at that?
I need to get my whistle.
That's another red card.
Are you kidding me?
Team Eretic's modeling, you're pushed up without no vision.
They're both dead.
And that's how you play ball in League of Legends
with a good referee.
Analyst, over to you.
What happened?
Kangus left and he just needed to do
his best American impression.
Yeah, that's right.
And that's why we're asking this one.
But it was interesting.
That was absolutely something.
He's a pro player.
He's an analyst.
he's a caster, he's a referee as well,
Jack Spectra can do it all.
One thing that is true here,
through what he illustrated beautifully here,
I feel like League of Legends became a game
in which Team Heretics' bot lane were playing the victim.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, definitely.
Especially when you saw the initial ganks
that Isma was making happen,
but it wasn't like this was just a one-off.
It continuously happened to just try and shut them down.
I think that was the best part,
where we just were able to see how Isma was like,
I understand that the rule is
I'm supposed to double full clear play for crab and then try and set things up from there instead what we had was
Hey, I'm going to break that by going for nerdy gank me didn't point work out
Go for these ganks on bot side and then it was like okay, so we've hit it once then at six minutes
I'm gonna go for a gank on bot lane at seven minutes. I'm gonna go for a gank on bot lane on ten minutes
I'm gonna go for a gank on bot lane and especially in this matchup like
Alistar and Varus should be miserable. I know I've been 20% win rate on Alistar
but in this one it was beautiful because in this matchup you should be pushed in
continuously you never get close to Alistar to actually get those engages but
by consistently having Isma play down to this bottom side Wade doesn't get to
bully the Alistar whatsoever and it looks beautiful. He's really smart as a jungler
making the best out do not blow the whistle.
Oh my god.
What is bottling here?
I mean, you're playing up against Alistar and you're still just dying to every gank.
I mean, the Red Cards don't even do it justice to be honest.
They need another one.
Another one.
Alright.
Something is short though.
I feel like compared to yesterday, we've been talking with Isma about the fact that
sometimes they have that itch, they have that urge to chase the dopamine and take
some fights that they were not supposed to take.
I feel like here, one who played when wrong on mid lane, they learn from that
and after that they were playing much slower and only initiating when they had to.
Yeah until they dove the base again the second time in a lot, but I 100% agree.
Look at them, everything like this.
But you were talking about backstage and I really do agree with you Laura,
like this setup was well, not this one, not this one.
Bad, bad, break, blow the whistle, blow the whistle, terrible, terrible play, terrible play.
But the second the play after this was really what I really enjoyed and I think you hit the
the name of the headlore was like the patience that we saw and usually that was our biggest fault
in drynex was hey we don't see this team take a step back they try and over force when they're in
the enemy jungle but jackie's just sat in the bush found that big burst damage onto the wukong
and it set up them for the rest of the fight super well so i think we're well hopefully starting
to see that kind of new leaf turnover and drynex like all members playing together really
going to understand you know what they can do on the map and then how hard they can push
some of these objectives.
That's something you're familiar with, Jack, from when we were playing pro, this fighting
this throwing, yeah, I mean, yeah, in that sense, yes, throwing, but fighting that urge
to chase the dopamine.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Jack Coastal was giving us all red cards, back to back, when he was
playing with us.
I think, in general, when you get ahead, some players, I'm going to say top laners
and junglers, in specific, a lot of them, they just go way too deep, all the time.
They just get too excited.
Oh, that's a true AD carry.
I mean, I think of our Lee, it's like Rastorch, he goes way too deep.
I don't think if ADC is going too deep because they wouldn't be in our league.
You play for the KDA anyway, so...
Oh, you play for the KDA, and it's just like, the thing is, when you're a bruiser, you feel
like a bit like Thanos, because you're just so strong, but when you're an ADC you always
feel like a glass cannon, so you know that you've got to be careful no matter where
you go, but I think Eastmite's always had that problem for me, where he's just...
He never knows when it's enough, you know?
It's very similar to Rassort, and it's funny enough that both of them seem to
be stepping up at the same time, because in this game there was the one mid-play,
That was a little bit of a... a little bit of a...
Shhhh!
But it wasn't really that big of a deal, right?
They barely died, they didn't really lose anything, and most what, 25 minute game.
So overall, if they can keep this level of consistency against the bad teams,
then I can actually get excited for dynamics.
Overall, clean game won.
Is what we're noting here.
Taking note, as always, as Isma told us, we'll see after the break,
even again and again and again.
We'll see what happens with him too.
I did get it. I did get it.
I did get it.
but me June you are so hot
today June went to make up and make up girl said oh you are perfect you don't
need make up
we can just kill him June I hear
yeah there he is
I should say
are you ready to fight here?
press press press
what is that?
I'm parming deep yes
kill him kill him kill him kill him kill him
Brother, brother, let me try.
Wait, brother, let us break this instead.
Brother.
a break have a kickback what is this brother perfection
ah champion welcome to my shop you need the right build choose wisely because
Every upgrade brings you closer to the next level.
So tell me, how will you level up?
Wait, is he switching lanes?
You start to think you're all alone
Counting failures, you can't let them go
I can tell you need a little something for me
You got spirit, baby, you got heart
Hands up, Abba, we can fix that part
Time for you to know what you could be
Push through it, press through it
No limits, you can do this
You want it, just take it
You're on the edge of infinity
It's the pain that can go on night
Breaking the midst of the world alive
On the verge of greatness, it's time to leave
They'll feel your name when it's up in lights
You'll know your worth when you win the fight
For the world you want, go quietly
Push through it, play through it
No limits, you can do this
You want it, just take it
You're on the edge of infinity
Ignite the competition
Rise above the pain
Right something in your own connection
We're getting away, we're getting away in the game
And push through it, try to screw it, with your own hand, with your own hand
And push through it, try to screw it, with your own hand
We're back here in the LEC where I just had to go through two minutes of listening to
Betty sing his own song as we go right into the second game we're about to go
into the second game on the Sterex that is the man who's saying what does it push
to it what's the song edge of infinity edge of infinity I was quite proud of that
title it's a good it's a good song yeah because you got what you got edge of
night infinity edge is obviously there's no other it's referencing there
right there are other names of edge in our items and then the chorus is
There's also a Malphite reference.
Rock solid, your conviction.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's a Malphite reference.
Banger, okay.
Because it's his quote.
Rock solid.
I just remember, I don't know, was Kajar actually playing the drums in that video clip?
He practiced a lot to his credit.
He did, yeah.
On the bike at the same time.
The first few clips were rough.
But he got better, he got better for sure.
A lot of old people asking him that.
Now, as we get you into this game, hopefully, Heretics can give us a banger like that video clip.
clip because in game one they were not Rock Cell or Belly. They didn't get to do anything
because Giant X to their credit absolutely stomped them and dominated.
They were like origami the way that they were folded. Am I right?
Yeah, you're so right. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
Medic would have been proud of that one.
Yeah, but I'm not medic. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a wordsmith. And I'm not British.
Okay. All those things together give you me.
Um, that's pretty sad, isn't it?
rumble's gone this time around. That is gone, yeah.
And that was an orderless, uh, first picks. Well, junglers, Jarvan's up. Uh, the Xin Zhao
is up.
Azir, if you want to go for the Flutter.
And Seraphine is up.
Oh yeah, it is. Yeah.
Missed in game one as well, by the way. So now we've just decided.
Yeah, they've prioritized the virus instead. It's fine.
Yeah.
I mean, it was fine. Now?
Jun did a, did a really good job on the Alistar.
Fast. Now you get Seraphine. Unless you take it away by Team Herodix,
But I don't I haven't seen in the only see I don't think where they're willing to split up the duo because Seraphine has a good partnership with something else
Right, uh, I want to say it was a first stand that happened
Yeah, they did like I think they did ash Bard versus Seraphine Ezreal or something. Yeah, there's that weird one
I don't quite remember. Oh share with the Karzix hover Isma. Are you Karzix thoughts?
that's often a counter into the Zin Zhao, that hilarious moment where he knocks everyone
away and now Karzix is isolated on top of you.
Yeah, that's right. Karzix leads you at the same time. Let's see what they pick instead,
maybe a...
Ynara, probably.
Ynara, Lulu lane, most likely coming out.
Probably. That's kind of what we would expect. Now Jax needed jungler, which means
it's probably... Okay, if you're gonna lock in before I get to spoil it, yeah,
jungling's done a sense.
He's got me there after a faint as well. Okay. I mean against you now
You know, it's not that mobile like in all T. She is yeah, but she has a button that makes a
She feels pretty safe against jarvin. I think
Relatively, I think generally if you have a dash Jarvin doesn't like playing into you
Yeah, but it's it's an alt dash, you know, but also remember like there's this really funny
Like I think the damage still goes through but he's screaming to Marcia as he brings his ultimate down your head
And then it gets turned into a cute squirrel
So the squirrel hits Demacia.
Yeah, and then it just lands, the ult comes up,
and now you're just a squirrel trapped in a pit with Yonahara.
He's now a giant Yonahara because Lulu has ulted her.
True.
Yeah.
So.
OK, so this is an exciting interaction.
Yone?
So that's an asia?
Is that what Heretic is thinking about?
Nel's gone as well.
Why are they worried that GX is going to do like a Gwen Yone?
Because they want to maybe do Sion?
Is that what they're thinking?
Oh, yeah, that's an option.
That's sort of that. Let's just rattle off another couple of picks. Cassandei's already going embassies.
Oh, Melgon means it's Ari.
Are you gonna ban Ari, Heretics?
You think Ari, Ari with the Jarvins, would be hiding?
A Carly!
Yeah, okay.
I don't know if I agree with that.
I feel like a Carly hates playing into Lulu.
It seems that GX has read the Azir.
Yeah, I mean, Heretics, you either have to take the Ari away, or GX is for sure gonna do it.
Maybe you pick a counter.
I don't know what counts because you pick.
Uh, Annie you could do.
Sure. The Sandra, your damage would be a bit low on her.
But you could.
Yeah, well, depending on what you do top.
Unless you go for the, um, the campic win.
Alright, they're just gonna take it away.
I think that makes a ton of sense. Ling is completely fine.
I think GX now could do Annie themselves if they wanted to.
Ooh, Taliyah.
Okay, yeah, I mean, after the nerfs, Taliyah just can't disappear.
But still, pretty good matchup into the Aria.
You can get early push.
early push you can keep her under her turret she gets really frustrated in this
matchup early on because Ari just can't quite match the wave curve that Taliyah
has and then of course Taliyah's unraveled earth against the dashes from Ari's
ultimate very annoying. Renekton's interesting because Naar is still
available true and I mean for Tracin he's already played Naar before not
the hardest match of play I mean it's great for the Naar but they're just
saying okay we're gonna blind Renekton and then she said maybe
she's gonna be Ari angle here all the Taliyah the first Taliyah game for
Jackies for the split would be a big question. Annie is good into the comp.
Yeah, those are my first suggestion. I think that the reason why Ari hates
playing into Annie is because Annie, like, the ability of Annie to just completely
mitigate your ult is really frustrating. It also forces Ari to go in the
direction of something like a nerf trade, which he also doesn't really want to do.
And just CC against R. He's very very valuable. So Annie Jarvan, it's it's a pretty effective mid-jungle combo
They can both set each other up and they both have nice
Combination with one another the one blow combo is very real
But the north that you highlighted for tracing is going to come through good matchup into the renekton
I do feel that GX has just got a very solid teamfight comp. It's very cut and dry front to back
We press R ideally you will die. Don't you think this similar?
I know it's not as much poke heavy as it was last game, but don't you think it's very similar in the fact that they isolate one
They can isolate one target to kill them first dead
Sure, but I feel like in the previous game they leveraged a lot more of their poke
Yeah, they do contesting around objectives and also Jackie's on a side lane was very difficult to deal with and he doesn't really have the
Same side lane threat that a Leblanc has. That's a good point. Normally that's more in Ari's advantage
Which is probably why Jx originally wanted the Ari on top of the fact that Jackie's didn't have a very good Ari game yesterday
But for heretics, I do like the scaling. I think you know, Lulu is just a kind of a time bomb waiting to go off once it reaches a certain late game point
It becomes so so so difficult to deal with. Oh, yeah
It doesn't have the easiest front line to play around the renekton fang
So probably the biggest thing you have to be wary of and the thing about whimsies, you can only win one fit
So we'll see if this draft is enough to turn things around for heretics in this press of three
Boy, your biggest question to be answered here, Heretic's need to win desperately.
So far ahead of the schedule, them and SK have played, you know, this has been their
fourth best of three already.
Is it really their fourth?
It's their fourth best of three, their one and two.
And Heretic's, I mean, look, they're a team that, at the moment, I would say,
are fighting to make it into playoffs especially when we only take the top six because
Heretic's are on that outer cusp, right?
Like, making the playoffs last split, we took top ten.
Yeah, eight top-eight, sorry.
But this split, taking top six out of 10,
again, big cut-off, and Herodix has to really show up.
What we're talking about is this.
We'll be waiting for it.
There it is.
Herodix had a big start.
They have burst some of the titans
in the League-like fatalities that Tugitou and Bot
draws out the heal from Waii.
And here today, I mean, Jionx are, again,
one of those titans that they burst
at the start of the split.
Yeah, the reason we wanted to highlight this is like,
look two matches week one two matches week two two matches week three and then
another match in week four that's seven games they play within the first four
weeks of the splits right and it's because of the road shows can't bring
all ten teams to the road shows so the teams that are there can't play as much
earlier on and as a result of that like early wins in the city like it's
really important the heretics win games yeah like they don't actually have
the whole season to lock in they've got a lock in for the first four
weeks and the same is true the SK after vitality so the pressure is really on for
these teams to have these strong performances and a match against GX like
getting a win here is super valuable and it's also why like that win for
financial guests here was so so big because getting a team are getting a
win off of one of the top of the table teams just increases the likelihood of
you succeeding later on down the spot especially with teams like GX kind of
rolling through vitality again they're looking like a top four team with a
question mark depending on their draft, Navi still in the mix and then you have
teams like Encoy, Casey, Casey, again we're like hang on how they're gonna look
they've only played one best at three so a lot of variables in spring and that's
why I love best of three format that's why I love you know getting top stories
of the teams as it progresses. GionX went for an Invite, Isma just went
and stole blue and once again let's talk about the early game of Isma
because hot damn that dude I swear unless he's level four or five then he'll chill. I mean it has become
a staple for GX to leverage their bot prior into an invasion and he's off to another good start,
Jundo isolated. Yeah with the Zin Zala, dangerous, the base is charged but again Isma's in the
vicinity, the slowdown with the single beat to drop and Sherry just gets poked down, Isma's
now level four on the way, Sherry's sitting around a little bit too long and he's got to back
off as well is with threatening the flag and drag to get an engage.
The fight for the crab will be decided by midnight. Annie already has the prior. Keep
your eyes on Jackie's. He's going to start moving into the river knowing that he can
move first. This makes it harder for heretics to contest. Isma also has the level advantage
but the bot lane's been isolated. Doesn't seem held as well but they back off. Giant
X are going to just say no take the crab. Shero gets it in the end. I'm surprised
that heretics was able to steal that one away simply because Jackie's was able
to move first but what ended up happening was Jun tried to rotate up but he was too far
away from the rest of the team meaning that it was heretics that was able to create a
numbers advantage and GX didn't want to take that gamble especially as Noa was catching
the bot wave so credit to Ice there keeping the bot wave pushed in as much as possible
he wanted to keep the wave going to force Noa to be drawn towards the wave and while
it has cost him a decent amount of farm ultimately it did help out his jungler
a lot. Will that end up loading here in the long run? Perhaps as he finds himself down
nearly 20 CSs. That's rough. Again, Observers, if we could have a look at bot at some point,
I know we are looking at jungle with Shared, finding Jackie's here,
wind becomes lightning is crucial, but he's not even going to launch it, instead goes back to
his camps. Bot is important as the way he's got shoved in, there it is. Now being picked
up by Ice, he's going to be behind as he picked up that last bit of CS, 12 CSs here.
Yeah, that's a lot early on and that is massive I mean he's grabbed the early call the early base like really affected him
Yeah, now they have to dig themselves out of this hole jungle involvement is going to be key
But chair has also been put a little bit behind because he ended up losing the blue buff
Yeah, he's a bit behind the experience right now. He should take over the five once he clears out those walls
But early game already looking very favorable for GX given the state that they've created and credit to lock gaining an advantage here
against the not early on. Something that can be very difficult to do on the re-enactment,
especially as the team goes on.
But Neganar's a big mistake, the Sun coming out of the corner, getting close, getting solo
kill of Dominus. He's reached, held, and used. Tracin almost had a good punish there,
as Lott went forward.
Right of Alts. Tracin closer getting the flash out from Lott, but a very nice advantage
gain and a potential gank opportunity, but gonna be denied as again we turn our
attention to the bottom line. Bo-Jungle is in the area, share closer to the
the play than that of Isma. Hawkshot did actually see that Shale was nearby though so no one knows
they're trying to bait him in knowing that Isma can just from the drop of the hat get here again.
Almost level six uh small crugs yeah they were killed so not level six just yet Shale a little
bit behind an experience no obviously to be used by junglers if this fight occurs so Jionix
get the push they get the plating as well as team heretics just back off into their
are inside of the jungle. Jax really committed to protecting their vision on the bottom side.
Saren won't be able to hold this control ward for long. He's got to go back to mid wave
to catch that. This will be controlled once we're dragging out. It's going to be started
off. They've got push and bot. The mid comps is quicker too. And it looks like they're
predicting Shared to go back to base. So Jax again with really nice early game control.
The scuttle crab spawn as well. Everything going the way of Isma right now.
Jax puts his thumbs up, with the tippers down as well, and Tim Herodix now know, yeah.
I think the red ping was just showing, the dragon's been taken, down it goes, as you said, the scuttle's spawned.
And Ism is putting on a clinic again, like this time it's a little bit more subtle, but the blue buff steal,
launching with a constant shadowing of bot, the sneak of dragon here, Ism is having a great split style, like this is the best one.
Absolutely is. I think the way he illustrated it yesterday in the interview after his series,
way he felt like he wasn't really getting that much better. He was very candid. He just said that,
but now I really feel the growth. Like I really feel like I'm improving and I'm getting better
faster. And we're seeing it. We all see it. He is the main person that we are talking about
when it comes to this GX roster specifically because of what he is doing in the other game.
So we'll see if that growth continues. Now it lands the arrow.
Why will it do much? Double B dropped us out of Rainsway. We'll walk out.
June didn't have his on-core available, so Wei is just gonna be safe.
Okay.
Keep an ambitious play from Noa, but it does get them pushing the lane once more.
Gonna be chipping away at that tower.
The gold, the CS difference is maintained at about 12.
And now extending to 13.
Is we're hovering around the top lane?
Are they really threatening a dive here?
I'm on the wall, but you're right.
I might just turn into a dive, and Tracer need to leave,
so back's off-stair, and close the dive.
No jackies.
Figured about going in, he flashes, once the disintegrating gets first, BLOOD!
Now that he's run away, he's used Incinerate to get the stun, he's built space, and Shairo can't chase.
Meanwhile on the top lane, Dominus used Isma, as well with the Cataclysm down, Trace and survive.
So a dive gone awry.
What the hell was that from Saren?
Let's find out.
What was that? Like...
Yeah, it's flashed from Alph.
But the flash from Annie was so obvious!
He was walking in his tiptoe, you know.
I felt like there was no other play there. You have to flash if you said.
Like there's no debate. You have to flash away because Annie is going to flash after you.
Her Q range, was it just like, I don't know, anyone that's played League long enough
should know that Annie is in range of you.
Or for a month.
So right now, so he gets a huge trade, right? Huge trade.
So now Annie is in kill range. At this point Annie is in kill range.
range and the Q's a four second cooldown so like flash Q what do you mean why did you press W?
I'm so annoyed. Why would you press W?
Yes! There's no other answer. That was horrible. I'm so baffled. You're so tilted. I'm so mad.
Like you just you just have to flash early that's literally your only play. You've already taken
in the bad trade, you're either going to commit. I don't know. I'm going to stop. Mid is a
problem, Vettys tilted and Gynx. I just get a different thing again. There's a potential
dive on bot lane and the only good thing I can say about heretics at this point is
that they stopped the dive top, Trace and survive. But outside of losing the first
break now they're losing grubs. They didn't get anything in bot lane. Mid is going
fine I mean this it is going fine but gx no it is going fantastic I mean it's
going fine if you if I am on gx I pressed have nine and a half minutes in
my Annie has malignant it's going fine it's going really well but humbly
Jackie's is doing just fine yeah this is insane like I feel like the game is
kind of already over. Oh my god okay arrow and seren not hit. That's a win. Sure, that is a win.
What else is it if it's not? Okay well now we have to talk about dragon that's
pointing in about a minute and 18 seconds. Yes we do. Because that'll be the next major
objective. Heretics I feel can't contest it. Oh shale, yeah I mean it looks like shale has
given up the idea of contesting it. He's gonna try and shadow top lane maybe he can
can punch the renecid. Lot does have flash and ult available so it's gonna be a tricky
one to pull off. Wave though, I mean even though he's gonna
slowly crush out let's just see. Mega Knoth being used and...
This is a free knoth here for tracing those naps, but he can leap in. Actually excuse
me to correct myself there is no Mega Knoth. Just gets a stun up, Jio cancels the back.
Now Jax is here though with tippers up and available. Lot is gonna use his abilities
to get the wave but he's not stepping too far out. A good shadow from Jaki's and a bit
of wasted time there from Shadow to stick around.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of wasted time. I feel like this has been given this opportunity
to clear out his entire jungle. He's now very close to level 9. Advantages are being
built up everywhere right now for GX. Ice though has been able to claw back gold considering
he was down about two waves. The fact that he's been able to bounce back here
is good for him. Dragon though, I think is very difficult objective to contest. Early
Merc treads from Saren a necessity in this matchup, especially even now that he is so
far behind. I am surprised that we don't see Merc treads out of something like the
Na. You know, I do feel like when you talked about limited options. I think you can't
though. I feel like you have to admit that Renekton matchup. Renekton matchup? Yeah,
it's way too, like, because if Renekton gets on you, it would just melt you if
you were on. But the idea of the Na matchup is that if Renekton doesn't get on
Yeah, but it doesn't mean he can't because it's hard doesn't mean it's impossible. No, that is true
But we're gonna have to go to the the VAR for that one
Maybe team heretics the angle
They're gonna go in regardless for this for the arrow hits first the on-court
Well lay it down and shows the first target while both teams are alive and with his ulti up
He still survives get the smite and dragon goes down
Shade took a while now flashes away and the fact that team heretics jungler stayed along for life for so long is
is incredible the heretics to get the objective, get the kill and get out.
They've played the heretics, I was wrong in my assessment.
The Lulu did so much work in conjunction with Shaiyo's ulti,
he got to very low HP but then they ran out of damage, another TPing bot.
And now it's momentum for team heretics, they want another play,
no one has to get out of there, they heal from joint speeds,
a mob of Terran coming in, charm immense, important and immeasurable.
And what an exceptional connect, but the charm does,
Ice will pick up a kill while Noah the last standing under his own terrible shield,
I'd take ice with him, but team Heretics are getting the ball rolling with a double of an ice.
Yeah, I mean getting two kills onto Ice is absolutely huge and a nice proactive TP from Serid
definitely gets him back into the game. Yes, he did not get any kills himself,
but he's going to be left alone in this bottom lane. He's not at risk of being ganked.
He's going to get a bit of plate gold too. And the bottom lane getting those goals means
that Heretics now put their winning side of the map in a huge position.
So the new ultimate into the ulti, combined with the healing from Zing Zhao,
and on top of securing the drake, just gave him enough HP to keep him alive.
And then Jax kind of ran out of steam, they had nothing left to chase the rest of the heretics members.
Blinking HP bars mean that heretics walk away with 4 members alive, the TP commitment bot.
I think it's wise to just get out of that middle lane, look to make a play elsewhere on the map.
He holds the charm, waits for the flash, connects it, allows the ice to get that kill,
Wei then tanks up the tower, but then Noah, recognising his damage, enough to at the very least get something back, but huge play by Heretics, they're definitely back in the skin.
Oh yeah, in a big way. As you said, Ice getting the kill, or kills rather, was massive.
Shout out to Seren who made videos til probably, that's gotta be an un-tilter for you, because that was a good TP timer, especially with everything used by GX after the dragon.
Dragon Sacking also denied. I mean, you just go win by winners.
Giant X, Deep in the enemy jungle once again.
Team Heretic's trying to defend.
Wolves will be taken by Shaya, but consistently,
Yusme is down here looking to steal that blue buff away.
Thank you very much, Fobster.
I really think that Heretic's win condition is ice.
So the fact that he now has a 1.1-key gold lead
is nothing but fantastic for the team.
Looking to try and bring us to a game three,
but the gold difference not too significant
either side yet. Jackie's can still be a huge difference maker with the lead that he has.
This Annie will just one-shot you with these itemizations so Ice has to be very careful
though we're going to do the absolute best to help it. Early Mikael's to help with the
stun that can come through. A lot of CC on the side of GX but this Mikael's is going
to really help a lot with in conjunction with the cleanse as well.
He's moving up a lot, a lot of sweating to the wave. Lopper's been pretty quiet
outside of that gank but now it's about to get a whole lot louder as no orange
would move up here to the Herald but there is an ash arrow available if that
Nile hops out early. Shared playing the other side of the map. Jackie isolated the
climb being but wind has come lightning. It was a bit too short and Jnx getting
the Herald with not much response outside of this side lane turret and mid. We'll
have to see how much played inherited scare because Jnx are not really
expending anything. They play from Jackie's as he backs away. Yeah I was
about to say I really think Jackie should be on the top side of the
map and Jets are going to use the TP to commit to this hop-tart. They have the Herald, so
they should be able to win out on this race. We're going to commit it though. Yeah, while
watching this whole sequence, I was sitting there thinking to myself, I feel like Annie
shouldn't be the one sitting in the side lane. It should be the Renekton. Renekton
is a lot harder to dive and ultimately has a bit of extra mobility as well. So what
they've decided to do is they get Jacky's out of the lane, then TP him up to top
to threaten the dive. And while the dive doesn't work, it's fine because they're
going to send lock back down towards bot. He's going to catch that wave. And
I thought that they would drop the Herald to just kind of accelerate the game a little bit more
but instead they want to hold on to it for now as Esmer returns to his jungle.
They've been saving it for the fact that Dragon spawns in a minute's time
and then they can use it to help them guarantee that mid-pryo and ultimately secure this mid-pryo.
Esmer is running towards the red much clear and then drop it near, as you said, both fryo.
There is good damage from Jackie.
Upgraded boots, near the sea large rods.
with the like this is ouchies yeah ouchies indeed Tracen just used mega now
and now our all-tea what about 30 40 seconds chat you can see the bottom of
your screen so worthwhile tracking that one as trackers up in 30 seconds of
Johnny say chat I did who's chatting talking to anyone out there anyone who's
watching come on see it no I can't but anyone who's listening to you know we
We have chat up on the screen all the time. We're essentially getting filtered messages.
Oh, that's a change. Sure, OK. I mean, anyone watching as well.
I feel like, you know, 20 code streams, and someone's chat out there is going to talk to us.
So, one of the chat right now is saying, hi, Steris.
OK. Maybe, Jolly, if you can bring that message up, that'd be great.
Engage, share it while code. Beautiful. Engage it back as well.
On call, though. Keeps in stand, but the bell.
Share it, just get CC-resistant.
He's good for him, the fight can drag Cataclysm back in but he's got no one else there.
Get the flesh out of me, really nice.
He's cleaning up the back of the fight, he went over the wall with the vengeance.
He's more way over to clean him up, but the Pro-Men's Team Heretics have still got Saren.
Spirit-Wrestle used a lot now in the fight, a charm connecting and
not really that much damage going out towards the Renekton from Saren.
But regardless, for Team Heretics, Ice cleaned up the rest at three for one.
His Ice falling down means the fight stops there.
Ice dying does suck for Heretics but they're gonna get so much on the back for this.
Dragon will be secured, the top tower will be secured, they've come back with a vengeance here in game two, as they find a really nice skirmish.
Look at this flashing flash engage from Shale, flash into the knockup from the Luu, into the second knockup after the Mikaeles as well.
Noa just doesn't get to play the game, then the stuff, no ulti available for Jankies because he used it in the top lane, they have no damage.
GX have no damage available, this ice got a little bit too deep sure, but then with the arrival of Seren, they secure.
Three kills for one, top tower and the dragon. Huge swing in terms of control.
Ice is 2,000 gold up. Remember this was a guy that was 20 CS behind in lane with
GionX having like almost a 1.5k gold lead as we approach that dragon. All
standing off the back of Shairo and I guess you have to say from way support
as well. This game has completely changed flavors as Shairo spotted out on
red thanks to Hawkshark. Giant X looking for a target they really want to keep picking
members off and get themselves back in the driver's seat and with Herald they'll start
to do that. But as you said side lane is a bit of an issue top getting pushed in bot
as well in the arclight 1v1 Trace and got to be feeling good at this point. And he's
looking for that outer turret because not all these side lane turrets down.
Heretics have to be feeling good right now they're in such a good position to
went out on this game. I do think they have a scaling advantage. I think that they've got
a stronger side lane threat in the form of the gnar. I think it's easy for them to play
one through one with the gnar. Of course, into Annie you have to be careful, but Annie being
in a side lane means that she's very susceptible to ganks. And then I do think that Yunara
Lulu, just in the late game, is stronger than Ash Seraphine. I feel like that the
combo in and of itself is definitely scary. But the upgraded Merc trade is doing a lot.
It doesn't really change much, though it still hurts.
Ismah's coming though. Hang on, Saren in trouble.
Spirit rush is available, wait for the flag to dry.
Cataclysm, it's buffered, and Saren gets out really nicely done.
Charm's gonna connect, and he's gonna go to the half HP.
That does force Saren off the turret though, and give Giant X his turret in the top.
And so a little bit of gold back for GX.
Doesn't get the flash out from Saren.
Shero doing a smart thing in cross-mapping, kind of generally the way he can.
He's not gonna die for this? No, he's not.
But Tracer is going to get bottom tower.
Tracer pick up for him.
Raptors are available, but I think it's a little too ambitious and it seems that
Xiao is in agreement.
I'm not sure if Team Naproth is in Zhao.
We talked about how Isma had a healthy lead early on in the game, he had a CS lead.
I mean, GX across the board had CS leads.
Oh yeah.
But, Heretics recognize, I think we're just stronger in the skirmish
and they've been proven right every single time.
So, Heretics in a commanding position here in game 2.
Really changing the dynamic and the momentum, really knocking the wind out of the sails of GX.
That is a roaming crocodile.
Exposed Shairo Arrow catches him, block Dominus, Colb of Meek and RuPaul's Predator combined, takes Shairo downtown,
Jionix gets a pick on Jungler and just as we're bragging Team Herodic, a big mistake from Shairo.
Suddenly there was a great play from GX, the roll from Lop doesn't quite get tracked.
Oh, but Jackie, he's in a one-two.
It just comes out, there's McCals on the ice for now, Jackie's a deep.
Sarah with the spare one, and the charm, Jackie's is dead.
No tippers for you, Tracy gets an oldie back only on the Lop,
but he slides into the ice, and there's my...
Trails his way in, he dies over, because the ice is just free-hitting.
The problem is, no one can hit the Yunara,
so ice goes from front to back with ease.
Chasing down River, shooting the last target in his eyes,
And just as Shairo gets caught out, Baron for GX?
No, it's Baron's side of the team,
Herodix with the near ace.
What should have been an easy Baron for GX ends up going awry.
They get the pick onto Shairo, but watch Jackie's here.
He by himself walks up, drops an ulti with no one by him.
It gets instaclaimed, and he does no damage.
Jesus Christ, this doesn't...
The reason why this play is so bad as well
It's because a lot was used to get that initial kill the ash arrow was gone the renekton all was gone
So you kind of have to keep these alties ready for the contest of heritage wasting them when heritage wasn't even in the
Position to try and challenge means that ice then isn't afraid of anything. So ice walks up. He gets everything
Absolutely should not have done it
Jackie's well said. Oh my god. You're does not happy. Oh my god
It was such a good pick from Jx. I love the play in and of itself
But you have to think about every pick what resources did you use to get it and
They used ash arrow and they used from ecton ultimate. So you've only got
Jarvan ult, you've got annihil and you've got Seraphine ult. The annihil was completely with it
And then the Seraphine ult was used to try and keep the annihil alive
Oh it was. So then Ice is just laughing at you. Like he's just he's just running at you and doesn't care
I think the problem we've seen is that for Giant X, this game,
one of the things that looked good, it hasn't been as concrete and as coordinated as game
number one.
But the credit of the team, Herodix, I know exactly what his job is in this competition.
And credit to Saren for bouncing back, because I was in big until the last game.
You were so tilted.
Saren's TP, and he helped win the game.
Instant McKels from way, that's now down, but Ash Arrow is a big cool down that's
not going to be available for this dragon.
Well, that should be an easy tower secure for heretics.
They don't really care about the dragon, like pushing in top lane as well.
They're saying, we want to get as much out of this baron as possible.
So instead, we're going to funnel more gold, we're going to take more structures,
we're just going to pick apart your map, we're going to steal your camps as well.
All of those top camps are available.
Isma's going to fall even further behind.
A share takes camp after camp, tower after tower.
And even bigger gold swing has to go to 6.5k.
The problem with this play for heretics is it slows the game down quite a lot.
But you said you don't mind that right yeah, it's not the end of the world as long as they're just a more proactive like with the leave that they have now
They've proven that they just win fights. Yeah, right as long as cleanses up
Mega blasts go. Oh, maybe he's not okay mega blasts come save them
He's good a as long as they don't waste time
I think heritage just need to keep pushing pushing pushing and stuff like this
This is exactly what I'm talking about just to beat a bot lane get back out onto the map push mid push
But ignore top you don't care just keep pushing with the band that you have and keep the pressure on the gx
Cuz you're just so much stronger. Oh, yeah
Like you're comically stronger than your opponent's and as long as ice has cleanse
He's got flash to play around the Kale's like there's there's just no way that you'll die
Like he was I thought it won't be nice everyone and sure did just flash away from Janet Crystal arrows
What was getting pushed on top but
Well that flash is down
I mean, this is my real downside, is that it just slows things down a little bit here.
Invade from Yzma once again, Shares spots it out, and for Giant Axe, they might not have to back away now.
If Ice is just going to run into Noah, what is he doing?
That is, the whole team was on wrappers running away, and Ice is standing in the mid lane as an Ash.
I mean, Noah's sitting here thinking to himself, I can clear out this wave and leave, and he could not.
He could not. That, Dave, I feel like this is-
This is not calling this the Noah spot, because I feel like Midlane going for a wave, Noah gets called quite often.
Every time I feel like it's either on Barats or Ash, that guy is playing like he's on a very ball, you know.
That's a maddie brush!
It's nice, it's not bad, over the wall, caught out, Cataclysm on the Seren.
A shutdown for Team Herodix.
You need this opportunity to open up the Midlane.
Again, every time GX commits somewhere, Team Herodix are in the right spot.
Yeah, I mean it's a good pick on the Seren.
get his flash, get his ult, the lot had to commit his flash and ult as well.
The thing is, I don't think GX can convert this into much else, they'll get a pick, sure,
but the damage has still been done.
Heretics still with a very healthy gold beam looking to bring us to game three.
It's a surprise, isn't it?
Because I said it, I think 10 minutes in, I was like, I think Giant X is just going
to clean, or something, they're going to clean sweep this game.
I felt like it, yeah.
It did feel like it, they were the cleaners team.
Team Heretics really shifted the momentum, I'm sure everyone at home is happy hearing
that again.
they really did shift this game in a massive way.
And I mean, I think the credit goes to Seren,
especially since you were toxic towards him.
That's important.
But it wasn't toxic.
You were toxic.
I had strongly worded criticism.
Who is it?
Why is Waze being really clean this game?
Cher is being great.
I mean, to me, it's just that awareness
to recognize that they could just fight.
Yeah.
Like, and then doing it.
Like, it's in one thing to first recognize,
hey, I think we're just stronger.
Yeah.
So I'm happy to see that from Heretic's, especially when we know that they need to be winning as many games as they can considering how intense their first four weeks are of the LEC.
And X will be a really big win as well, remember only one that's 3-point each team, so a single round, Robin is going to hurt.
If you lose to an opponent like this, it might be on the cusp of the playoffs, depending on what kind of giant X we see towards the end of the split.
And Jackie does get bottom turret. That's a bit of gold injection here for GX, but team
heretics are once again threatening top and mid at the same time. Tracin getting
push in, Loth solo defender. No orange and have reset just to get into vicinity
which is important but there's 50 seconds to the baron. So topside naturally
an important lane right now and it's Tracin backing at the edge of this wall.
Lothlin gonna find him but it's a reset before baron.
What the fuck is this?
So as we discussed earlier, because they gave up Dragon, the game just goes down a lot.
Especially without the threat of a soul, there's basically just no objective on the map to play for.
And the game right now, it feels like if you don't have Baron, sieging enemy base is very hard.
But that also adds on to the fact that GX do have a decent amount of wavecub, but the bigger threat is
Hey, I'm seating onto your tower. Where's any boom flash alt? Well, that's bad. Oh, yeah
So they have to be cautious of that too. So right now heretic just playing it safe
They're way into the barenery spawn once it does they can just force it
They're gonna have to waste that much time
I love the positioning from lot here
He stuck his way behind the baron pit and he may have found a beautiful flank as well
He's gone completely unnoticed. I mean Tracin's not here. He's gonna keep me in the arrow
It's gonna be closed away. The encore is good. It's on the shaft, but ice. He didn't travel
I would say that but the whole thing erratic group right in the tip as comes out from Jackie
This time in the same place the play looks brilliant a charm on the back burner
Almost getting his my buddies healed up by John
Giant issues their pick tools well, and they get themselves back in the game so much credit needs to go for lots
He's able to find a beautiful flank angle, but they push themselves off the bar and they get to stop this one off
Tracer they want the rest is miss here still with the GA intact can go in aggressively shared found out flag and dragon spot connect
The encore with a double drop means the job gonna be stunned up and dead all perception over the wall
Seren has to run away, but he can't add anything to the fight. There is now no slight content
So now giant X can do the Baron safely such a huge swing of the GX
They've been looking for this one team fight where they can just throw all of their ulti's onto ice
And they're finally able to find it locked his positioning was excellent here
The way he's able to find a way behind the ash hour comes through the Mikaels is used on to share
Which means it's not available for ice. He has to cleanse out of the sun flash out from Jackie's connects onto ice
He's with the 80 carry gone a lot of the damage has gone as well
Beautiful teamfight from GX. They put themselves in a good position
They don't quite rush the Baron because they know Zin's still around once they get that kill on Zin
They know that Baron is easily secured and a 7.6k gold lead swings to just 3k.
I was concerned. I was really worried when I saw a lot going and died at 4 of Team Herodix, but you're right.
That micro detail of the Mikhail fell being down means that Ice was vulnerable.
Jackie's redeemed himself from the previous ultimate.
Team Herodix, their lead of about 7000, now minimized.
They got Dragon and moved to this whole point, but the difficulty is that Giant X have the Baron.
Their ulti tools are back up and available.
I'm going to now see if they can equalize the game, put it back to an even state.
Those things considered in this mid game.
GX sweeping out all of the vision, trying to make it as difficult as possible.
For heretics to seed, create that barge of war.
Leverage the darkness to maybe find a pick as they want to get some standing gold for themselves.
Three out of tiles remaining with the Baron.
They're going to be able to get a lot of gold into their pockets.
He's hovering off on the side, the level 16 Jarvan with Clash available.
Again, that GA wasn't popping the previous fight, so he can go in deep under this tower.
Tracen's in Meganar, threatening the potential of GX stepping up, and here's punishment with
the ulti, but the siege is happening with this cannon minion.
Trying to step up is Team Heretics' Dynax.
Next wave coming in, Baron doing the push, and about a minute, 20 of it to go here
on the Red Bull Baron.
Powerplay, there's the arrow, Staring gets out, hanging for it, Ari not always
is the best target to enchant a crystal arrow for the Ariald, as big as Tracin, who's caught out in the mid lane there, someone that's knocked up as well, Catechus, and Tracin can't move!
Beautiful chain of 16, he's joining, punish the top laner of team, Heretics.
Okay, that's also a tower as well.
I was thinking to myself, I kind of wish that it was Annie sitting in the fog of Warren in mid lane, sorry, between mid and bot, so that you can rotate for a play and look for a pick like that.
But they used the Jarvan instead, they do find the pick that they were looking for, they get themselves another tower, knowing that they have another advantage.
Lot's going to go back to pace, spent what gold he can, get back out onto the map, has the TP available to him.
GX not slowing down. They've got to be careful about overstaying on the map, but they still have the numbers advantage.
Lot is trying to bring in the next midway, but look how far away it is.
He's just grouping up to see if this is the potential last play. 30 seconds on the Baron.
A good charm connects onto Jun, but he's got sustain. He'll be completely fine when you hit him.
Dropping down, Baron is doing good work. Almost a 5,000 gold Baron power play.
Jionek's firmly back into this game. We are two and four and
Emeritus must have felt so confident with the way the pace was going, but now we've bought him in here to open and drag it up in two minutes
It's a vantage team heritage. So it all comes back interestingly to a topic that we were talking about earlier
Which is that by choosing to focus on securing those towers rather than contesting dragon and putting yourself on salt points
You
Recognize that the game was just going to slow down
because it was going to be very difficult for you to play off the back of that with no other objectives and also the threat of assault wouldn't force GX into a flight.
So by posturing around Baron, you kind of created this opportunity with which GX then took advantage of and found a way back into the game.
Huge credit needs to be given to the GX for finding that fight and swinging the momentum using the time that they had granted themselves to find an opportunity.
And this is huge now. They've equalized the game. That 7.6k gold has swung back to neutral.
The thing that really matters is the items is Ice still has a huge item lead and Ice is still a problem
So this game is far from over just yet
It's looking fantastic for GX as they continue to pick up a lot of standing goal from these outer towers
But Ice if he's left untouched
He'll melt the whole team. Oh, yes, I mean he was before and still it's it's ice or nothing
So if he doesn't get picked out if that Mikhail stays healthy and unused rather
Look at those 5 items on the UNO.
This would be full build in the past, but he's going to start working towards the sick.
Oh yeah.
This is out of scope of armor boots as well, which has pros and cons when the Renekton on
top of you and the Java on top of you, it gives you an advantage, but against Annie doesn't
help at all.
I guess the cons in TBS is just worried that if Noah gets a free hit right, then
it could also be that as well.
So regardless, final fight incoming, it feels like 40 seconds dragon, soul for
team heretics.
the Kentex soul, but remember we're playing with Enchantress so it is quite impactful when you think about one member such as Ice, getting low, getting shield, getting the Kentex bonus buff.
Ice is going to push out the mid wave, Gynax have grouped up as for the flank from Lott again, the level 20 croc with a GA this time.
Tracen spots him out, two level lead over top lanes and Lott has been impactful in a lot of these flank angles so far.
As Gionx moving the river first and for Team Heretic about finding their angle mega blast going from Tracin
He gets away. He's mega nabba. He's coming up as well a lot
It's really committed to finding this flanking Tracin is doing absolutely everything in his power to mark him
Jackie's off on a flank of his own. Did you have that one water spot number? They're aware of his positioning
He had to be so careful as lots and Jackie's are looking for the backlight or Tracin's in mega now now though
So team heretics have to choose their moment lot is trying to keep him isolated 3k on the dragon
That's a mega now from Tracin means I'm gonna be using fighting champions
I also wish so a couple of misses is onto ice and that quite one main of the 10-deck dragon goes over
Cheers pop the earliest giant X already losing his fight. Juckies get the one that helped me is the trade
But gets through to all life for team heretics ice has transcended and ready to go four versus four
The jungle up here for Isma will rather jungle engage waiting for his backdoor
Maybe an opportunity the minions are stacked up and heavy tracing us to go
But team heretics with the ad carry gonna go right to the Baron yet
They're rushing this town and they should be able to melt him in the time. The ice is throwing out
Yes, the support of Lulu as well. I do not think Jx is gonna get here in time
That's gonna be a Baron secure quick thinking from heretics and I think Jx tunneled
way too hard onto Ice. Their sole focus was like we have to kill the Zadie carry, but that
ton of visual cost them a lot. Heretics did a really good job of marking the flank, Seren
on one side, Tracen on the other. Very deep play from Ezva, an early ult to protect Ice,
then the chair was uncontested on the Dragon Secure, giving them the sole, providing even
more safety in terms of keeping them alive. The midlaners ended up trading for each
other, but Ice is very well protected. He did not use any summoners in that exchange and
how would the barren buff and soul its heretics who can lead an offensive?
A little note, Jackie's didn't burn the flash so a potential follow up play here from Giant
X has the tools that Annie needs to thrive. However, in the fight GA popped by Isma.
Worth mentioning here, Watanlou's here but again will it be as important as the
Jarvan who has been engaging each and every fight the dragon soul up with the third Baron of this game and lot picking a big
Far angle someone's gonna get an arrow comes in and yes, Serran is gonna hold you got caught there
You could have been big for giant X the problem with long-lasting looking for these flanks as it opens up these side lanes
I beat stack of minions as that generated in the bot side of the map good vision clearance from heretics in the bot side
jungle, Saren is still marking potential flank, Teratix. Changing a lot their approach after
the first flank from Locke came through and they're doing a really good job of it. Now
these minions, they're stacking up triple cannon minions in power by the baron.
Rains should come through from Noah to auto attack at least once. Team Herodix on the
edge of backing out of his play. Charmed, spots out the Renekton again, and Tracing
with the Mega Narvaa could be big. See, Herodix is jacking, he's dead in an instant.
He flashed, and made the players ice on a double already.
Tracing a million with a meganar as well.
That's Nola down, and that's not against the wall.
Team Heretics have wiped the fight.
Everything for ice, but the rest of Team Heretics
are healthy enough to thrive.
And we're going to a game three after a hard fought back
and forth, ace on the board.
And Heretics wise up against Gynax.
An incredibly hard fought battle
between both teams as Heretics
are able to come back from losing the lead that they had.
Beautiful team fighting.
They see the Nexus.
They're bringing us the game.
Great.
Well, I'll tell you what.
Seren Redemption.
Definitely in his name, but they played around Ice.
Even when he was dead, I feel like he just did so much in the preparation of that fight.
During the fight, right?
But also, it just, you reach a point in the game where,
okay, Ice has all these items, even if you kill him,
It's not like the other members aren't doing damage as well, right?
So, yeah, they do eventually kill him.
Jacky's wasn't able to find a big ult at the very end.
He ends up getting one shot, and heretics are able to stay strong.
Super entertaining game, very close back and forth.
Very interesting.
Yeah, very nice. Very nice indeed.
We'll go to a game three shortly.
As normally I'm used to a Thin or a Jack popping up out of nowhere.
Where's that ref?
But no one's there.
See a referee right now.
They're just gone, you know, yeah, they just decided to leave us as the analyst desk will tell us where they've gone
Where are you? Yeah?
We fired the ref. He was he was not good. I think we've promoted him
So no, I think we're fine. I think we're fine. I think we're the positionable ref. Yeah. Yeah, like
Manager
What does the ref have to say about this game?
There was a lot of illegal stuff. A lot of illegal stuff.
There was the very crash out, I love that one, with the Saren solo kill.
And overall, if I were to be the referee, definitely the whistle would be getting blown,
the red cards would be getting given out.
And Jionx, I'm disappointed in you.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Really?
Because we were saying something the game before.
like Jax they're doing so good don't let us down again. Yeah so they can't hurt you anymore
you know it's okay. No no. I do agree like I think for Gion X a lot of it was hey I expected
Isma to kind of have control in the other stages try and find these same kind of gangs that he had
playing for the skirmishes instead it's the exact opposite what we end up seeing was a ton of pressure
coming out from heretics towards that bottom slide where they're able to get the leads
that they wanted he got some great TPs coming through from Saren as well to ensure that
that you could make that bot lane has thick and then from there they could leverage that
into so much control around those early skirmishes.
It's funny because in Duel Q, Nola was saying that he usually flames Isma.
I think Isma can maybe flame Nola for this game.
Yeah, it was a pretty big adge, I don't know, like Ice was so fed that when you just
like one shot Nola on the mid wave and just how much damage he was doing in the
teamfights as well.
You could tell as well that Gynx, they were like desperate to kill Ice every single
fight.
And I think that was a big thing that kind of cost them, it's this classic when you're like, you're losing the early game, and then you get to the late game when both ADCs are kind of the same anyways, but they still just kept going on ice, like you saw how much they were diving on him every single teamfight, but as long as he gets peeled, which he did, he had the Mikael's, he had the cleanse, right, then he could just auto, auto, auto, auto, auto and do so much damage.
Yeah, and I think as well like the fact that you have this Lulu pocket is just so incredibly good because the second you do get those leads
You've got the speed up you got the auto attack you got the shield you got the log growth
And even the island sensor just pairs so well with all those little balls. They're far and everywhere. It's fantastic
Okay, we gotta talk about this play so
Janix had just gotten a pink on enemy dollar
It's a four versus five and it's like Jackie's walks up to get a tibbers when he knows they have me tails
knows they have cleanse like the cleanse is still up right now on ice you can see
it and then you have the coaches face palming you have Jackie saying I shouldn't
have done that it's like bro it's the dopamine chase again everybody can tell
you you shouldn't have done that and you yourself two seconds later can know I
shouldn't have done that why do you do it the dopamine chase track the
dopamine chase and also trying to find the way back in game because they
were me I feel like they were lacking damage I feel like this comp was
lacking damage and I feel like, is it those cases where you have to go for desperate situations?
I think there is a certain effort. You kind of do, like you did the thing already, right? Like,
it would be like a Hail Mary play, but then it starts to work out, like getting the pick,
yeah, by making the play start to work, and then you just over send to make it happen.
And I do like, to your question, I think if Giant X figured out why they were doing these
plays, they would actually be one of the best teams we have, but it's these small mistakes
that constantly happen.
I mean I've worked with Giotto before, he's given them the belt, you know, like he gets
real mad, he gets real mad when you lose in a game.
No players were hurt.
No players were hurt, did the making of the sacred shy.
Psychologically Giotto you are.
No, but like for sure I think he's good at disciplining the players and I think
that's what Jackie's and Isma need because like the mistakes that they're making,
Not only have we seen them make them before, but it's mistakes that are like unacceptable.
Yeah, because they're games.
Yeah, but I do think on the opposite side, like fair play to heretics, because like again,
and I think this is kind of showcasing why we often find like the Zin's outpoured with
like the Seraphine or with the Lulu, because you can do so much with these Enchanter supports
in the teamfights where you have the extra auto attack speed, which helps you get your
Q proc faster, which then gets your basic abilities down quicker, which means that
then you're healing through your passive faster,
like there's so much synergy in these kits,
and especially for a champion like Xin Zhao,
that thrives in the uptime that it has in these fights.
Like you can see it in this, where he goes in,
he ends up getting the wall growth, the shield,
he then pops the crescent card,
so you can't actually get through them.
And he survives for so long,
it should have been just an immediate one shot,
but it ends up then getting the dragon, you kill Isma,
and timing again,
this just became the forefront of the game plan,
was good, the Xin Zhao is massive,
Let's just play through this early jungle.
And when we were crediting Isma in Game 1 for dictating that,
I mean, same as we said for Shale, he did a great job here playing through this style.
And that's actually what Shale was telling me during the interview that we had before the game,
the fact that he loves playing with Wei,
because he is the kind of player that's going to be good enough in lane
to give him that boost that he needs as a jungler
to make things happen on the rest of the map afterwards.
And he was also pointing out the fact that, similarly to Isma, he's an aggressive jungler.
And if he gets this agency, he can win new games, basically.
I completely agree, Lore.
I think one thing that we talked about before the series was how Tracin was the key member for Team Reddix.
I no longer think so.
I think that it's Noah and Jun that you need to shut down, and we've seen it now against Fnatic,
and we saw it now in this game.
If you shut them down, they just die and kind of roll over.
So I think Team Reddix needs to double down, keep playing for Ice, and let's get him another Pentakill.
Yeah, I mean, he's one Pentakill away from hitting top five in the world all the time,
which is nuts. He'd be tired at 10, I think, which is then with like celebrity and some of these guys, but
maybe nuts, if he could actually manage it, but we'll have to see.
Let's see what happens in game 3 between Herat 6 and GX right after the break.
That is a roaming crocodile on a exposed shadow arrow, catches him,
locks Dominus, calls the make and rules with Predator combined.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
Charm 5, Charm 5.
I'm pushing, I'm trying to get out.
I'm like, no, I'm defying, defying.
I'm pushing, I'm pushing, I'm trying to get out.
He's going to get out, he's going to get out.
I'm going mid already, okay?
I can only go back.
You got a Dynash?
You got a Dynash?
I can't, I can't, I can't.
Dynash is Dynash.
I think we...
I think it's probably more, we...
Do you think we just fight?
Yeah.

I
Well, we have one hell of a dragon here for two, game two for Team Herodix and show
of big carry performance. I mean honestly team heritage is the group that's what you like to see
coordination it's in the league of legends name if you look at the fine print as myself as Eric's
embedded sort of take you into game three didn't expect to go to game three with how
Gionic started and even started that second game but here we are here we are we'll see if
GX can rally back or if heretics can get what will be a bit of an upset win because we talked
about it in the previous game but GX last split they finished top four fourth place yeah and
And expectations are that they will be one of the teams fighting for those playoff spots.
And so if heretics do want to contest playoffs, this is one of the teams that they need to
be beating.
This is one of the teams that they need to be contesting.
And so getting a win would be absolutely massive.
They only need one more game to do it.
So let's see if they can pull it off.
If you look at Giant Axis trajectory, you would actually see that they're probably
going to get third soon.
Because you know they came in 2024 winter there were eight and then we got to summer playoffs and summer
There were sevens and six and then winter playoffs last year fifth
Betty third is coming
What's it? Okay, well if they want to do that checks up to be heretics
That would be us that would not be a statement that would be expectations. Yeah, they sign well
Bands already coming through thick and fast
Last as window rumble taken off the board from GX. I think that's smart show you played a lot of window last for it
One of his defaults actually one of the champions that even though how it's extra struggling he found a lot of success on during the regular season
They think they're gonna be targeted on the other side rise. We've heard is just like doki make it okay. Oh, yeah wonder one
There's some what okay actualizes very silly Orianna plus rise will be pervans
What about the final third band D?
Nautilus. Okay.
That suggests Bard perhaps.
Rain supports three of the four ones that we commonly see taken out of the pool.
That will get something like a Reckon from Drone Exit,
maybe planning a Zyra Kahn bottom lane just to cook a little bit more.
Caitlyn goes.
I mean, I'm calling up Eddie Carries because I feel like we are onto the Sivers, the Zyra Kahns.
the Kaisa you mentioned before a favorite of Nolaz, maybe a dive comp again.
Would you say it might symbol the bar?
I did say bar.
You do know this game, don't you?
Well, it's just, I mean, I wish that I could come across a sounding really smart,
but it's just hook champions are really good into range supports,
and Nautilus is just the one.
Because people won't play Blitz for some reason.
No, that's a shame.
But it wasn't even that many years ago where people were perma-picking Blitz.
We had a one-for-one plus game.
We cast the probes blitz when he was on BDS. Yeah, every time they pick Lulu got punished now. What happened?
Yeah, no one ever does it so I'm a huge blitz advocate. I love it
I think it's great that was an Israel it teleported into Nami, but it could teleport back into an Ezreal Nami lane
It could however junglers here are you know before that you normally say you're off the board
So we're gonna have to still open. You're right. How come we have not seen Pantheon great question
They didn't want it it seems
Ezreal on army fine range matchup
Bard Kaisa
That's what you see every day in a cannon batch is it I?
Mean vibes gone as well. I'm best is gone. Would you even have good dive champs?
I mean kaiser in isolation is nice into Ezreal because because kaiser generally says
Oh, I can't really get bullied that hard and lain by Ezreal
But I feel like that's just kind of not true. I mean Yoppa yesterday bring my brother
I'm not sure if that was the exact matter.
I feel like that this perception that Ezreal is weak in lay is misguided.
True.
I think that, especially with the right support, he can be a mega lane bully and now he's got
a Nami by his side.
Oy!
Sejuani!
Now that is also a take away.
I mean, Shairo has been playing Sejuani a bit this split with certain comps and a
bit of a take away, but also I guess one of the tank junglers that are left.
Shairo, I swear to God, if you could mount that, like, it's season 16.
Did he? Trundle goes hard.
Who do you think?
Ooh, good call.
I don't know if I love Trundle at Trumult.
Trumble, yeah.
I don't know if I love Trundle into Vards.
Yeah, but it's just before.
And into Sejuani, no, I love the idea.
Good comp. Good comps.
Yeah, good comps.
As the year, that means just, like,
I don't know, we've seen that so many times,
is there, plus as you're all.
I'm gonna stand over here and hit you with 700 miles away.
That's what they do, isn't it?
Absolutely, they do.
That's a shame.
But there are answers to it. Now Akali has been one that, I guess, has scales.
They might ban Joni as well. They actually did all ban Joni.
That's a really good call against Jacky's actually.
But it's also says Wynie, likes melee on hits.
But then, do you think about, okay, maybe Top can have some synergy there?
Maybe it is a Jacky's to Lee again?
No, I think it's a Jacky's Silas games, man.
You reckon? Silas, Akali's already gone.
Any other melee mids? I mean, you've mentioned Joni, that's a good call.
As that is gone.
Uh, Skarnerban?
Do they ban Malta?
Do they care?
Is a hen ban?
I don't know how I feel.
I feel like that
the heretics just need a frontline.
They would love a Mundo right now, if only enough.
But that's ban.
Because of Jace.
Jace?
Um, what is that?
Oh, I don't know.
I think they're gonna...
Like it's, it's Trace and a Jace player.
I'm just looking through now.
Maybe they're assuming, OK, we're just going to play Sion on top.
So I'm a decent player with Jace games, right? Fair enough.
Because Sion here with dive comps is always nice.
That is one of the tanks left open.
I mean, they could. Yeah.
I mean, Sion, I think fits the comp.
I don't know if it's great in the matchup.
The Pantheon he mentioned.
Yeah, OK.
Pantheon's fine.
I did like your run, your Trundle idea though.
Not bad, but maybe it wasn't that good.
I mean this just gives you a little bit more lockdown, a little bit more CC.
I don't think it's the best frontline, they need a good frontline, they need a tank for Ezreal and to see it's a play behind, that's what they need.
Orn? There's no way to go on Zed.
Zed would be crazy though, I don't hate Zed into this comp by the way, I don't hate it.
I've just got a bit of whiplash from leader Zed, I'm just gonna say that.
I feel like he's gonna do Silas, that's what my instinct says.
So this makes it double AP
Okay, I suffix build on a bit of odd AP and said Juanis flat
Okay
How do I feel about this?
Yes, oh
Gragas good match up in there. Yeah, I mean we learned the most about this from Zeus
Well, I was excited and then I wasn't okay
It's like the world's best.
Uh, Gregus players have shown us how horrible this matchup could be for Jack's is the one
I was thinking about, you know, yeah, exactly.
He had order.
Yeah, so he's going over the silence there.
We said they needed a frontline sound fits that role just fine.
I think their biggest anomaly in this comp is the pantheon for me.
My issue with it is purely the sense that he's another games skirmish that kind
wants to go in. He doesn't have the easy slayings to play through really. He could attack bot.
I think bot is a very easy lane for him to gank. At level 6 that mid lane is really difficult
to gank. Jackie should also be able to actually, like I think Tristana is one of the few champs
that can get pushed against Azir. We haven't seen Tristana for a while because Tristana
could get nerfed. But it's still like the matchup hasn't really changed that much
you as Tristana continue to scale, you're out range, you've got a lot of consistent
damage and it's double AD carry comp. Armor boots offer a huge amount of value here. The
biggest problem is going to be how tanky is Sion because this fight, this game will very
much be front to back and it's double AD carries versus Azir Ezreal so which frontline
dies first?
I mean I will also add the caveat that for once it feels like a grog game that has
a bit of extra effect if giant X can secure those objectives. How strong the solo lanes
are within the lane and then exploding the sides. For me, I'm interested to see how
Giant X piled this comp, because last game, they were so successful in the first
10 minutes and they took a bad dragon fight and Team Herodix, Shado through,
he survived and the game went south from there as momentum took over. Welcome to
game three, a little bit surprising that we're here, I know but regardless,
Team Herodix get a lot of credit for recovering and picking that last game
of the floor. Let's see how they do this time around. Ice running the exhaust. Ha! So, okay.
The reason why he's done this is Lot found a lot of flanks last game. Yeah. And now if
Lot tries to find a flank, he's gonna get exhausted in the face. So, that is not true,
Chatter. Listen. Nobody is killing that siren. I'm gonna tell you the win-loss of siren.
And even though I agree that that sign's gonna be hard to kill. He's 3 and 6 in the LEC
He only picked up his first wins the other day and one of them was on lot Charlie
And he's got it. He's got a moving a moat. How can we put that in?
How did we put that in? That is tech
Thank you W. Jollyman. Sorry W. Jollyman
Put on him
Now I will say in this game
Seeing what on the Jax
I do feel like there was a story that we were telling when Lott debuted that like Lott's Jax
was one of his better champions or at least best champions.
Yep, for sure.
And I do feel like Lott has been the person that even the Analystest talked on earlier
on wasn't actually mentioned that much.
I think he's been okay to split.
I think he's actually had an improved split.
Sure.
And for me, you know, Top laner is getting thrown at the wayside.
I'm very used to it.
And Odoamne can aren't here today and they can attest to that.
So, my issue with that sentiment is that top lane is so irrelevant in the matter of
playing now.
Hang on a minute.
I just think it just doesn't matter.
Not true at all.
The game is all about junglers and supports.
And maybe carries.
Pretty much every other, I feel like in terms of value, top lane is just all the way at
the bottom.
That's what I think.
Well, I respectfully disagree as one is proxying in the top lane.
Sure.
Good on him.
lot doing a good job I mean Tracin probably doesn't care too much but he
doesn't even remotely. Alright, I'll just last hit over here then. Out of any tank I
think he's one of the easiest to do. I don't think he's that easy to play. No I wasn't going to say that I was going to say easy to see us under Tauris, isn't that bad early.
Yeah he's not too bad. When you're level three like Ward Slay can just engage with Minion,
I'll be surely this oh yeah, we didn't talk about jungle pathing because
Pro jungler is just full first and then
Iced and way have prior so share gets the bot crab and then is we just go to the top crab
This one I mean like these days like West West share gonna gang
What's he gonna get in the other game the answer that is he doesn't really have any good options all angle have push sure but
No, it doesn't really care. He's quite happy chilling. He's gone for an early call makes sense
It's mother. Oh, okay. So the one lane I think he can gank is top. Yep
Seems like that the play has been read though by Shayo. The way it is so good for a lot
That's mainly smashed now used as well. So no disengaged counter strike gets a flash and is my Arctic assault for that
Tracer already burns stamina. I guess even if he does bait it
It's they don't win, right? I don't think that such one any plus Jax loses to Sion
But I do kind of
Well, I was expecting share to help push the waiver, but I guess he doesn't need to actually the waivers and frozen
So he's fine. We'll just keep you back in. He'll just be behind me. I'm silent. I'm okay
He's fine. It'll be down. I build armor. Good luck double AD carry
What we're gonna go what for now first
For now
I mean
Sammy's right
I generally go for mail if there's someone that heals a lot like this
I guess the solid I mean there is a lot of ad that comes out of the solos, but I guess yeah
Yeah, but then you just build like random
All the other arm items you can build true, but don't build great glacial shroud no one builds that I know
No, why is this gonna HP?
That's a problem, and there's so much free HP. We're not free to cheat HP
the
How is it is it the it's the belt proto plants and so does for the bell the 30%
Yeah, that's a bit broken.
That stuff's good.
Juicy, juicy HP.
Very cheap as...
Now, the reason we haven't talked at all about the bottom lane
is because, as you said, like the Ezreal and Nami,
not...
You were saying Ezreal's not that bad in lane,
and Azizim is coming down looking for a gank, but...
Is it that explosive against the Clacer?
I'm sure we're going to find out shortly is,
Ismaq pops his head out.
Spotted him, they control warden the pixel brush,
and now Shadow has just been lining up the bot just in case.
Yeah, I mean share wants to get six ASAP that bot crab is gonna be super important
The back the ice and way have trial means that that bot wave is sorry the bot crab is way more contestable
Just the most important part
Share after securing the ground he should be getting the upgraded smite is Ms. Already got his
There's that upgraded smite and now both junglers upgraded smite looking for the crab
It's about to spawn. Herod's ex-balling has pushed. Tristana's pushing mids. Here we go.
Gotta get six.
Sherrod's looking for it, and he's gone.
Level six, and now they can't do anything.
So, Izmit just asks to be sad. He goes back to his top camps.
And the junglers go back to farming.
Oh, that's fun. Let's just wait another ten minutes.
Green Dragon's gonna sit there for a little bit. Let's kill.
Tronix trying to invade the Raptors.
Are they up? I need to look. I need to get up from a tree.
He's trying to contest red, but I don't think that's much of a contest.
Yeah, you're right. He's not with us.
He's whaaaaa...
You been? I mean, I'm kinda half the win.
I guess no smite for Pan.
No, he does have smite.
He does.
On the edge, looking to level 6, I think someone gets a smite, which he does.
Now he has level 6 available.
The Flio comes out, Jun is now blown as well.
That was... yeah, he just won that.
That was just the most passive 50s in the effort.
And with the move from Theron, he just lost a plight, man.
Yes, he did.
I was kind of really anticipating a little bit more.
Pow, pow!
Yeah.
Wow!
And then what happened?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Like, he has just got like 300 gold per foot.
Isma said, I'm taking his red buff.
Jackie said, are you sure?
And Isma said, yes, I'm taking his red buff.
What's he going to do about it?
Um, and the answer is nothing.
I was going to be absolutely nothing about it.
And I guess he tried to swipe, but he lost.
Didn't even get a chance.
I want to correct myself from earlier.
Do you know that Proto-Plasm Harness is 2500 gold?
The secret weapon.
Proto-Plasm Harness, that's the name of the item, yeah.
But 20 ability haste and 600 health.
Yes, I know. That's what I'm saying. It's really good.
I mean, it's so broken. I mean, health items.
I don't know if Tracev will build it this game,
but my point is that Sion likes health and he will build armor.
And he will build some magic resistance, I'm sure.
But later. It's not a problem right now.
Just armor.
Armor good.
Slow pacing, you know laid-back game
Tensi has slated me from Jack lost the plate. Not bad. You already said that's what I'm gonna see his ear like
Top is pretty much popping from lock getting a flush out early a bit extra pressure as you said so
But joining soul lanes right where they want to be if we talk about scaling the ever-going discussion that sometimes has no meaning
Oh scaling. I mean, it's kind of hard when you I mean
Both comps want to do the same thing, bro.
It's double AD carry versus Ezreal, and Ezreal is basically an AD carry.
Yeah, I mean that's the thing, right?
Is Jax more useful than Sion?
It's really the question of the schedule.
I mean, if Lott plans the same...
Ooh, nice grind.
It is, but he sure slams out. That's going to stop the play.
And that's why I took that into line.
Well, no, because he definitely messed up.
He had to use it reflexively rather than...
Well, no, but he still took I mean into a khalaisa help sure. Yeah, so that's why you took it. Okay, maybe yeah, poor side
Fast side. What's the one we look at?
All site. Yeah, no far side. No far site is to see great
No, I'm thinking of German just for me before
Yeah
Well, hang on now. We got a context. Oh my god
Levered fate, it gets a stun, but the dragon's already taking down, we're finally fighting.
He get out of this right temple, in setting in with the ulti.
Sherry gets the first kill, Noah, ulti's back, somehow Sherry got out of the bus and shot.
An explosive charge will get a trade, a one for one, dragon goes down to Team Herodix.
And it was the title away from Wade that looked good.
But Gion X getting a recovery kill with Jackie's on the board.
A very close skirmish, but I think Gion X is going to prove pretty happy about the fact that he secured that kill for himself.
Accelerating these AD carries is an ideal outcome for Giant X, but the Baron, sorry, the Baron, the Dragon going down in Vagra of Heretics will obviously be a loss as the game continues.
Let's look back at this play, that Ulti comes through from Ice, connecting number two.
The Ulti from Ice, from Junk, is a little bit long, a late which means that the Dragon already falls before GX can really respond.
Good use of the ulti from Jackie to create space between him and
heretics to allow for the bomb to explode.
Wow, I mean in this brief pause my ability to speak English language is to kill.
It was a slow start, it deserved.
I'm like, yes, we're at a 17-18 minute game of no blood.
Well, 10 minutes in we finally have two bloods.
We have two bloods.
That's good.
But the question is, can we have more blood now?
I'm taking down by the way remember I was talking about I feel like the giant X grubs this game
How good it feels as a Jack's or a Tristana to have ways to push forward
Especially for Jackie's here. He's already got a bit of a lead first-time and soon TB
TBC and someone
As we play it again. Oh, we're gonna chill again for another four minutes. I think
Probably.
Huh?
What is it?
I don't think so.
Yeah.
Huh?
I've been thinking.
Again?
How would you change grubs if you're gonna change them?
Would you just buff them or would you make them do something different?
Give them a buff.
My issue with grubs is that there's three of them and you can just take one and then it doesn't matter.
And I think that that's just I liked before that the number of grubs you had to turn the buff that you've got
And I think that if you're gonna keep grubs, there should be three separate buffs depending on the number of grubs you take
And it doesn't have to be mega strong. It's just the one grub gets you this two grubs could be this and three grubs could be this
Well, it has to make it stronger doesn't it? You just have to give more cash. I
Mean that's one option. Sure. You can give more cash
Like you could just make it a higher gold value in contrast to dragon, which is more like a scaling late game value
Yeah, you could do that.
That's it, that's the dark top lane.
Yeah, Log is doing pretty good damage now.
Flops the ulti and with an Arctic Assault in,
Permanfrost flush behind, Isma lays down good CC.
There's that grand stuff off from Shary a little bit late.
He's going to look for the stun, but he sends in a common spear.
The play's already done.
Giant X open up the top lane and Shary now committed up here.
It means there can't be a response play elsewhere.
In fact, Giant X are going to double down, do it all again.
Isma doesn't have an ulti, but it doesn't need a counter strike.
Permacross double melee with the jungle of the power of said one in the dive makes it easy as Jackie's gets killed number two in team heretics
I'll wipe through this top and China looks so far in control in a quick play
Beautiful dive from GX getting the kill onto lot was already a really great thing to do because it really
accelerates this Jackson the top lane, but then the fact that they go for another dive with Jackie's roaming up from mid lane and
And he gets the kill. I mean you couldn't have asked for a better outcome.
Beautifully done from GX. They keep the Drostana in the top lane as well so that he can catch that wave.
They move the Kaisen to mid, send lot towards bot.
Love the lane assignments coming through. GX really coming alive now as they find a beautiful play.
Lot, not the one who guarantees or rather has picked up two kills in this game, but he is the one with 1,300 gold lead.
Lot is dominating here on Jackson. That's why we talked about this being kind of his pick
Since he debuted in the LEC, Jack is also benefiting because he just reaches over to level 11.
He's going to catch up top way, but then he won't go back to his first item as Dragon comes up in 45 seconds.
Teleball's not available with Jack as a bit of a reset timer and then probably walk it out.
Lots of them don't TPE, but you'll need to catch that top way.
So Dragon will be interesting, while it does feel like Giant X should be stronger for it.
Absolutely. First Island is being completed across the board.
Should pay for an interesting affair.
25 seconds!
The battle for Vision Willing Sue.
Who will come out on top? Who will seek clearer?
Between the two teams.
Still not as bad as Jack's accent earlier.
I don't think Jack... This is my accent.
Not what it sound like.
That was not your accent.
The box.
That was not your accent.
It reminds me of the road to Eldorado.
My dear power from the gods
Hello
Everyone
Everyone else is like how I feel the same way scuttle crab gonna be the fight
Just gonna see who launched over the wall the mega-boss is good
It's probably done a lot of work again acro prison as well as seren's got an angle
But will he go in he's looking for the ways to find the wall team heretics of the health bar advantage again
I think Wei really started fighting a big way.
A counter strike lock looking to jump will not press that leap strike.
Jaggi's to be top! He's out!
I am not interested in this dragon anymore.
He wants to get that first tower of the game.
And for fate, was it an interesting move from Jugg?
Was he trying to interrupt a base?
I think I'm maybe the TP.
So they're not going to get the tower it looks like.
Tracen's going to arrive in time to secure the minion wave.
I don't know if that's going to stop Tristana.
Oh, he just queued his wave and then went back down.
You the wave minions die.
He went to any damage to Tracin' but he will get the minions, you're right.
That's his killing.
Second Dragon for Team Heretics and I'm starting to think that is a problem.
So I thought that when Shared went over the wall...
Bad.
Yes, me too.
I thought that.
But you pressed the bomb like button, you know.
Yeah, you pressed the bomb like button. He lives.
And then he flashes over the wall and I'm thinking still bad.
and now has texas and he how are you gonna contest anything but it turns out
that they just kept hitting me like ice and seren kept just dealing damage and
that worked out so that's late they get the second dragon at a game
now they want the rafters but they're not gonna get those there that we'll
concern get the tower he's gonna get the top but will he get out of the loggy
so he'll get some sands put away from the leap strike and it hurts
he's on that far behind in gold with and it's here and there's real and
the scion chatter who said scion won't die well
I'm gonna say go to do an honor check in on Tracy yeah what he got so right now
he's at 149 armor 3.2 khp it's about to solo kill Jackie's he maybe kills
Jackie's I won oh we got the altar from Jackie's though big yeah so armor
for GX yep more armor not so but in theory cuz it like what's the word it's
I feel like I can enter. It plateaus!
Yep. Especially with percentage armor then, right?
Inspection on my own Tristana.
Then pop. Flash away ulti.
Tracer's gonna get out of there with the Unstoppable Ones,
or Pings are going down to turn this into an Invade to Jhinax.
Really want to make this into a bit more of a gold play after opening up the pop.
Yeah, they have pushing mids, so they're setting their sights on the red buff,
but Tristana has the base, so they can't really go for it.
Now, this is the thing about armor, right?
They usually don't get armor penetration, it's all that. Third item?
Yep.
Sometimes you get forced depending on the comp. They're gonna need it.
But, Infinity Edge, very expensive item, that's gonna be the item next.
I'll have to count the army dead.
This is Glacial Prison, it's a good pick, but I'm scared.
Shadow, he gets stunned up this time. Yes, he's dead.
Didn't have the shield of survival to keep him alive a second time round.
The Herald's gonna turn it into a quick play and Gionax is gonna speed this up like a big mid.
Okay, nice pick from GX, will accelerate the game a little bit more, the Goldleys continues to get bigger, the sieging power of Tristana, the grubs that you were talking about on top of all of the little grubs coming out from the heralds.
Another tower is just going to drop like that.
And they way flushed away.
They always determined to never kill almost.
Gynx now back away.
I mean 4.2k gold.
They monster play with the pick on the show.
And I feel like game two,
you know, had moments like that,
the intended picks on the show.
Game one was definitely how Gynx will go though.
Might as well he show it over and over.
There's good stuff right now from GX.
There's not much that Herodix can do elsewhere on the map.
Heretic's just want the game to slow down. That's what they want. The fact that they have two dragons already is good for them
The bad news for them is against double AD carry
GX's ability to siege very strong very very strong. They just kind of melt towers
So two items now finished on Noah. This Kaiser feels fantastic to play at this point in the game
level 11 upgrades coming through
and checks in a fantastic spot. We're waiting for these neutrals to spawn, baron in a minute
and a half, and drag them a little bit earlier. The vision idea is you can do exactly what
we've been talking about a lot in this series. You take it away from your opponents, you
create pockets of vision, you threaten picks. It's less of a strat when you're
running double AD carry just because I'm going to face check for Tristana and you're
Okay, okay, what was it just starting to do?
Hit me in front of the planet?
Sure, I'm fine with that as Sion.
It's a little bit scarier when you're into things
that come like one-checking, right?
Maybe face-checking Cidwani could be a little bit dangerous,
but if Sion is the one-face checking
and he eats a Cidwani alt,
then he's not gonna get it.
This is the biggest value
that Sion's gonna provide in this game
is just his ability to control space.
Basically, when Dragon is being started,
oh, hang on.
Speaking of space,
we can try and tell about when you tend to play
a bit of a whiff, Clash of Prison,
a bit of a whip as well, Tataweb gets him away. That's also a whip, lots going in,
Kamps like 8-1, Ice has the fudge away after getting stunned up and they turn their side
on Shairo again, leaps like Anatar, Ice gets out of there but now he's summonerless
and Giant X pulls the trigger once again, turning their eyes to the bot push.
More Kamps will be stolen, another pick will be found,
Shairo 1-4-0 on the Pantheon, hasn't really been able to have a huge amount of impact in
this game. It should be an
uncontested dragon as well.
Heretics, though. I mean, they
didn't lose an objective. They
pushed out top. Trace even
considering continuing to push
in top lane. Maybe you can get
that power. This amount of
standing goal for heretics to
fall back. Just to find that
fight. That's all they're
looking for. A lot of resources
used to find a pick here.
Jax not really sure on what
play they want to be making.
Dragons flying soon, but
they're thinking, hey, maybe
we can catch them in their
rotation or in the setup.
Shara has no flash of it. Oh, no, he doesn't flash of it.
But he doesn't know where to flash too.
So she ends up falling.
Well, I think what really carried the back end of that fight,
because we saw a lot of ulti's with close for Jun,
hitting that tempered fate, but regardless,
still goes for a team for Giant, excuse me,
5000 gold lead, Baron now up, threat there,
fresh out the dragon going down and stopping the dragons back
and we talk about the game's slowing down.
Well, that's definitely going to keep things nice and slow.
A little dryness advantage of the big gun in this way.
The second item picked up here for Jackie.
He's near the edge on the Tristana,
he was just pushing the top lane a lot with the second item as well,
as that looks like it's going to be a zombie's third.
He's got the needless large,
instead of picking up the Seeker's Armguard.
He would just take the AP damage.
Probably didn't have a 16 under gold.
He's optimized for what he could afford at the time.
at the time, they're on their sunshine, they'll fall down eventually, join next to our vision
towards Baron and look to choke out team Heretics in front of the subjective, because this,
Betty, this is a fast Baron. I was about to say, they could just two-man this if they wanted to,
I like the idea, Heretics is really cautious if they're happening though. They'll have a
ward available, yeah, it's gonna be spotted out, they're gonna have to back off, you know.
It's fine though, TP. Oh, they got TP. Oh, they got the TP out though, that's huge,
you just push bot, you just push bot after GX now. Yeah. Because now it's Heretics who are
forced to start the Baron themselves. They have ultied Shary because they're going to
damage down so they're going to push you down. Jax just have to not do anything now, they
just have to let Jax push bot. They're either trying to do something. No, they're not doing
anything. Just down, just stop the bases, just stop the bases. Just let Jax take what
tower and he'll completely die. Easy, six hundred gold of the way. That TP's
massive. Terran doesn't have his. Yeah, I mean that TP from Tracing was a huge
mistake. Shary also on a ward, there's a control ward there. If we go down
the wall smite successfully taken or rather objected by shout is we can't
see that now now you stop around again okay this sounds bought and what's gonna
happen is siren is gonna be forced to rotate over but they don't see anything
and if he starts walking over I mean Jax is already gonna be there first yep
so very good now what well there's no sign there once your eyes you can just
back off or you can turn into a fight lots in a good angle as well ice over
award hits a mystic shot finish it wasn't fighting doesn't connect your eyes
finish the check and look for the steal no there's no steal their title where
comes in team Eric Trump turning to a witty five and share a blast in the way
I think the fight is already going pear shaped and the slide out from Serent
Ginex look at them in a menacing way and team Eric's have to lose the
beautiful sequence of Jax absolutely fantastic they did all the right things
they started as a two-man they got spotted out the moment they saw
tracing TP that was way more than I think that they were hoping for I
I think their plan was to sneak it to catch heretics off guard.
But the moment you see Trace and TP,
the play becomes very simple.
Keep your jacks bot, keep pushing.
They're going to lose a tower guaranteed
because now they're five people versus four.
Heretics now have to be the ones to try and force a ban.
If they can't force the ban, there's no reason
to let them ever TP.
And so he just stays bot.
And if you leave bot, bot,
then you will lose your inhibitor.
So they have to go back to base.
And yeah, it was just a lose-lose for heretics.
Jax, they played it very very well.
It feels like this game with the losing position has been for a while.
Barron now used in multiple lanes.
Spots pushing up 9c, but Lott is going to run it down mid for the time being while Giant X hover around these codes in the enemy jungle topside.
Looking for a potential dive or maybe just to set up his Glacier Fritz and Xen.
Never mind it, he's going to turn into a die 7 to half HP, he must have shot it away.
He's going to shift into Sands trying to get some health back, but that half HP, he's sent out of the fight.
He can't stick around and Jackie works his magic with his autos on the turret and it goes down
Baron already moves up to 2500 as a baron power play
and GionX are taking this ever so patiently what we asked for at the start of today
GionX being patient so far I think getting answered yeah and I love this TP to bot lane don't waste
any time pushing mid pushing bot keep the siege going dragon spawns at 40 seconds you basically
just push until dragon spawns you can then go back and get dragon if you want I think they
They shouldn't really care about dragon. I think that the tiles are way more important. You need to use as much as you can as far as possible.
If you can break up the base, that's fantastic.
Push, push, push, push, push. That's what I think GX should do.
Garmin is going to be clear to the mid.
You can see that Trudy's offering, looking for a tempered bait.
Trez is spot out in the bottom lane. They're damaging being done by Jackie through the shield.
And I will say, the shredding is getting big. There's a last whisper. That's why.
So, the crazy good friend of his bottom lane turret,
inhibitor turret number one, first of all here,
with the Baron doing a good job,
and getting those drops doing wonders in this game is,
Sarad was pushing top turret,
so Jionic's getting this for free.
I guess it's a master team heritage
from Hustball since they were gonna
probably lose this anyway.
Yeah.
I think this is a wise play from GX.
Heritage's not taking the game well.
I guess they just don't feel strong enough
that you've got to fight at some point
I think the most impactful play was the top lane one where they go, got a kill, and then
redo the run of the game.
That's that bite, it's a pretty hard marriage into play.
Jax is super snowballed now.
He has a 3.1 cable, at least.
And yeah, the game feels done and dusted.
How do you think we need to find a bunch of other fights if they want to turn this
rounds and the challenge becomes who do you even find a fight on to? Tristana can ult you away,
Noah has the ulti himself to create space and there's Jun's bar which will also just stall.
And ice is on a warp. Kenta plate blind, maybe it's even needed. Buster shot with the Satchel
charge, healed up by way. Jackie's gets some time on target and with almost three items
You'll be a much stronger AD carry.
Jionx now just has to deal with a couple more inhibitor turrets.
Top is the turret, as you see.
Inside slot is just walking into Tracin.
Not doing too much, but just trying to shepherd that wave in.
The rest of Jionx patiently walk up to the mid lane.
Deadly orders to put him back.
Let's bring him on the show and get the stun up as well.
Dangerous move, but Trutor Barrage goes wide.
And Team Erick's damage and response is relying on this as here.
I see it's a couple of missing shots as well,
so better than you would have expected from Heretics,
But still, Jionix is going to heal up and try again.
Solid defence from Heretics. The problem they have to deal with is the constant push from bot.
But for now, it seems that GX have had enough. They want to go back to base. They want to call it a day.
Not worth continuing this siege as they are.
Isma is just going to add insult to injury and steal away more camps.
Seraph feels very uncomfortable right now because he doesn't see a lot.
He's had a strange day.
And two was good. That's good. Good end of that.
What was the comms? What would you say?
I mean, one would say that.
No, it's definitely should be taken.
No, it's everyone should be taken.
Absolutely.
Here's the next emote. He said next split, I'm sure.
It's not next year, next split.
What is the next one to be?
Are there any other word emotes?
Word emotes?
Yeah, like take notes to the word.
Honestly, my knowledge of emotes is very limited.
I almost exclusively use the B or team icons.
whatever you take to the world see I put him around the remote wheel and I
figured around I don't know what I'm doing yeah right and then just move you
mouse and wait T T is my button put wards down
T for wards yeah it's my button it's my hotfix button for the hotfix
I think I think with Zed for wards isn't it Zed? Zed doesn't war if he's an assassin
Oh, you're very funny. Haha. Yeah, pretty she said that as well. I
Should I believe I should be saying
These American yes, it is I said no damage. It's a team spite now. Yeah, they should have a place
Okay, seren's caught up for target part of wasting protecting
He's stunned up those the chase and the bell use on him seren getting the auto attack on these most good
and with an after-prison you'd say, hey,
Herodix getting something, but here comes the lot.
It was a 4v5 the whole time, and he wasn't even there.
Ready to jump in, he gets a three-man stun,
and now it is over.
Exhaust, no one will flash over all the same,
and Dismas still won't die.
The rector, Jionx, clean up the fact
while another flash wall from Jackie
and the snipe from Noah.
It looks so easily done as Jionx
were just way too far ahead,
and team Herodix has been a slow burn
a cruiser to a defeat. Well played from GX, that dive in the top lane was beautifully
executed and they've been able to cleanly snowball from there. Paratix not given a chance,
not given an opportunity as GX will go 2-1 up in the series. Well, Giant X3 and Zero
are undefeated in the LEC right now sitting at the top of the scoreboard and we've seen
some great quality performances from them as I don't know, Jackie just shook Jun's hand
like they're in a business meeting but while there was some ups and downs in that series
when you see giant scams like that you think well they claim but for your play of the series
I'm sure I've claimed there were a lot of Ismajakis and a lot had a very good turn but Ismaj once
again his early game I think is uh I'm the best here in the LAC. I think Jackie's is becoming
more solid. He's becoming more well rounded. Yeah I do like to see that especially given the
the high expectations that would put on his shoulders.
Yeah.
And I think that's, aside from his game two,
that one and he missed play, they did almost come back.
But then he also got the game breaking on.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Right, right, right.
So I think that he's a player.
I'm keeping my eyes on this here.
We continue to develop this split.
But all in all, I do feel like all of last year
and at the beginning of this year,
I felt like I was just getting the same GX over and over
and over again.
Right.
Now I do really feel like I'm starting
to see some development.
Let's see if they keep it going.
Alright, well, AD, break it down after the 2-1 victory to John Axe.
There's a 2-1. Yeah, and they had to work for it.
You don't have to. Thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you.
That was a roller coaster.
A bit.
I'm starting to get used to it.
Yeah, steadily.
But I think it's fine.
Okay. I think they're doing fine.
Like, at least, like, I don't know, I like the way they're playing.
even though the games could be a bit cleaner.
Yeah.
But it's like, I mean, it's just, I think,
just knowing it's dying too many times on me every game.
Yeah.
It's kind of hitting lane a lot of the games, so.
Do you feel like Noah, like, I haven't noticed him,
like, before, it was like no one during show.
Yeah.
No, Noah is our worst player.
No, but, oh, it's his life.
Yes, it's his life.
Oh, shit.
I thought we were just hanging around and talking.
My bad.
No, but I think he's OK.
I mean, I also think teams are like, really, my bad.
Should I have told you?
No, but it's true.
I think that right now Noa is the one that is playing the worst in our team.
Yeah, yeah.
I think, I mean, I don't take it as a bad thing.
Yeah.
Because Noa was always a player that had up and downs throughout the year.
And before, when Noa had downs, we would lose against KCB.
Yeah.
And when Noa had ups, we would win.
But now I can't wait for when Noa has up because it will come.
Like, it's, he's not a player that when he's playing bad, he becomes bad.
He has a lot of phases and I think that when he plays good then we will be able to be where
he wants to be.
We saw some improvements though on the side of Isma, I felt like Isma and we've been
talking about this with him yesterday, the fact that he had highs and he had lows, it's
more highs than lows lately, that's something that you've noticed as well.
Yeah, I think he's a player that needs a lot of freedom and like with him a lot
of the work that we do and me but also Maxler in specific is about to help him how to think
and how to get situations. I think I said it on an interview that one realization that
I did at the start of last year and a bit more before this split was that the effort
a lot of times is to make the players not autopilot on stage and I realize that that's
just bad because no matter what they will autopilot we just need to make the good habits
autopilot so that's kind of what we are trying to make Isma so instead of like I mean Isma
and the others obviously instead of focusing on what's the right play is how do you reach
to the right play and I think it's being good okay not sure if it's going to be the
best but just trying something new stuff yeah have you guys been going through his jungle
as well like we broke down this you know the SK game with skins was invading him
but he still like wonder I think in general like also in game number one
today when he walks like past the scuttle crab to go around I think he's very good
that predicting where anime has wards thinking about it very practically I
don't know if that's something you've worked with him on it's just his
creativity his credits I think it's not something that neither me or Max
Laura focus on a lot I mean a lot of them did you see that in the moment
I think we talk about it and he said,
yeah, I don't know, this guy is just invading me, I can't contest, I look down, I see a free kill, I go.
Yeah, it's his creativity.
Yes, and like the way he's finding plays through less than optimal situations,
I feel like is what is making him a great jungler right now.
Yeah, yeah, because I think SK plan was clearly, they saw our game against Fnatic
and they're like, oh, we need to stop him invading, we invade first.
But I think he's just really good at reacting and I told them between games,
their plan is to... so what's the word that I can say? Their plan is to mess you up and
create chaos, but I mean, but I felt, but then I told them, but if you create chaos over
their chaos, Keen's dies, like he doesn't know what to do and how to react and I think
he, I mean, it's a way that we want to play, take advantage of that strength of
Isma for sure.
I think it's very cool to see, because before I felt like, you guys have two ways
to win. It was either Noah Jun's show or Isma invading and it was cool to see that SK was like,
okay, they can only win if you guys invade, but then by even though they got the invades off,
Isma had the creativity to find other avenues to win the game and I hope that as you as a coach
that gives you more confidence that you guys can win in many different ways. Yeah, I mean,
I think it's not only Isma, I think Jack is, I mean a lot today I think was his best year
since he's with us. I mean for things that are not seen but we are putting a lot of work on
how we can move and the flanks that he can find and even on the game that we lost a lot of the
comeback came from from his renekton and I think Jackie's especially in laning phase I think he
has improved a lot. We still need to see the big boys. We have them all in Madrid. Those are the
ones that I care to see how he does in lane obviously but I think that he's building good
leads and a lot as well so I think that helps Yzma as well because I think Yzma also works a lot on
his confidence so you would see kind of like only bot lane invades because he is very attracted to
the lane that he feels is doing good and that wins us games and I think the fact that now he sees
that other lanes can do it too also increases his creativity.
Jackie was actually the key player of the series today.
Today as well?
Yeah.
Okay.
That's a surprise.
I mean, I thought there should be lots.
Okay.
Well, the planners don't get any credit.
Yeah, that's true.
But what are going to be the takeaways from this week?
We saw the desperation on your face during game 2.
I mean, I don't know.
Norma is dying every midway.
I mean, a lot of the desperation comes from there.
Yeah.
I mean, then it's like, we were making jokes about, like, one of my desperation was like,
we were making jokes about one thing that Noah said, like, sometimes, Noah, I think,
in this game, said something like, we play our next enemy here, or something like this,
and like, as soon as it doesn't make any sense, I'm selling drugs.
Yeah, you know the Asian market, you turn left, and you eat a good pizza, that plays.
A lot of it, just sometimes we say dumb stuff, and I like to, I mean, he knows, I like
to joke a lot about them. But I mean it's just who I am after I usually try to control
a bit more now. I think some things in real life help me be a bit more patient. So I think
now it's like getting a bit easier and I can, at those moments you see them when I'm
not with them and with them I think I'm a bit more calm now.
Absolutely. Being a coach is not an easy job, guys.
And yeah, you get to leave another week.
You can breathe now, you guys did things really well, so congratulations on that.
Thank you for joining us today.
That's all for us here for now. We'll be back second series of the day.
Maybe M.K.O.Y. Bye, Sanity! Stay tuned.
Wait, is he switching lanes?
Let's go give she wings.
Welcome back to the LEC, where we're getting ready for Vitality versus M-Coy and in looking at today
I said to realize we've had some crazy quotes from both sides of the field in this
So I wanted to prick us up with a little bit of a game
Who said the quote and this is going to be between Melzette and it's going to be between Karzy
So I'm going to read out a couple of statements and I want you to pick whether it was Melzette who said it
Okay, or Karzy who said it right so I'm going to start off with number one here
So like one of them is not like the other but let's see
Well, I feel a bit surprised. We were supposed to win anyway. We are the best team in the world and probably blaming my jungle for that, maybe support as well.
No, that's going to be Karzy.
No, Karzy would blame human raids and... Well, actually, you know what I'm going to say, Karzy.
I have to be Karzy, there's no way.
Okay, that one is Karzy. That one is Karzy.
Yeah, the best team in the world.
I try to throw in a little bit of a tricky one, you know?
Second one we don't know where to fight we look helpless and we throw the game. Oh, that smells. Yeah
Sounds about right. Yeah
So this is where it starts to get a little bit trickier, so
Number three each player is responsible. I'm not their father. That smells it
He's a father himself, but I also feel like in in Spain. They always use father. I don't know like
So to bother
Yeah, I'm gonna say Mel's it I don't see Karzy
Okay, you guys are kinda killing it so far.
You're the one who knows that one, alright?
And then, number four.
I haven't seen this guy play well yet.
Oh, that could be both.
That could be both.
That could really be both.
Uh, well, wait.
I think I'm outside.
I'm gonna say Karzy.
It's Karzy.
He was talking about humanoid.
Alright, the last one.
Maybe the confusing or easiest one.
They need to get spanked every time to do plays.
Whoa, okay, that could be both.
That could be both.
This spanking is giving Karzy, can't it?
Yeah, but I also feel like, when I think about it, I'm quite...
They don't need to be spanked to do plays.
You know, they are always too aggressive.
But maybe Meltzer wants them to be even more aggressive.
Yeah.
Other stuff.
Or like temper on the... I don't know.
I'm gonna say Meltzer.
I'm gonna go Karzy.
Meltzer.
Yeah.
A little bit of a funky call.
That's fair.
So we're coming out from a few of these,
especially for us,
I was like, that doesn't sound like something Mazette would say, but here we are.
Yeah, and all I know is that looking at the quotes, looking at this matchup,
we know that it's going to be a spicy one on the rift, no matter what happens.
What are we looking at here?
I mean, I think the biggest focal point is going to be the mid lane, right?
I think both these pairs have been stepping up massively for the squads.
I think JoJo Kuhn, clearly the best laner that we have at the moment.
He has been smacking everybody that he has come up against.
It doesn't matter what pick he's on.
And I think now it's going to be on humanoid to try and go up against those.
I think what's just super hype about this matchup is I just don't know who's gonna win
We asked Giotto right after the interview he took 30 seconds and he's like
I could be what I like could be am coin nobody really knows and that's when you're gonna have great League of Legends
He said it's gonna be a King banger and that's
All right guys welcome to the cast of this we've got Jackie's alongside us after a big win after what was a slower game
But a chill game and you know, we're sitting out there
and talking with Gear Horto as well and he was like he looks a lot better this split so you get the clap on the back from your coach
Nice, I mean, yeah, I don't know what it is to be fairly split
I don't feel like I changed anything. I just maybe everyone just got worse I guess
Well, that's a great start. That's up to the solution. Yeah, you look better if everyone gets worse
Yeah, so yeah, I mean I am kind of the best player in the world right now, so that's fair enough
Okay, I mean contrasting statements, but fair enough. No, it's not confident to be fair
Yeah, you guys beat Fnatic, Fnatic beat G2, G2 beat GenG and Fear X, so you guys are at the start.
Yeah, we are literally right there.
Right there, right. Now you're also saying that you get excited for Vitality games, I think a lot of the world do at the moment.
Yeah.
Versus M. Koi, this should be a pretty good mid-lane matchup, Humanoid's playing a lot better,
JoJo is like, heek at the moment, the best mid-lane aeronauts out of yourself, obviously.
Of course.
And they just look like some of the most explosive teams in the league.
We've come to understand that you have a lot of respect for Hibinoids.
Yeah, would you consider him more of a brother type figure or role model type figure?
I mean both, because he's very unserious of course.
But I would say both, I mean if it comes to gameplay then for sure like a model thing to as a person as a brother.
But yeah, I mean I'm hoping there is going to be some level 2 deaths on mid, this is all I'm expecting.
So I feel like they will just fist fight to the death.
Because you're probably the best equipped here to talk to us about what it's like to lane against JoJo
When we watch it feels like that he tries to murder you for going for a single CS
What is it like in the actual game? That's exactly exactly like said it perfect if you're touching one CS against JoJo Pune
You are losing 150 HP even if you go back under the tier 3 so and that's what I think also Humanoid is doing
So that's why I'm expecting some
Some mega first fighting depending on the matchup.
Okay, okay, so right now it feels like mid meta is Aurora, Ryze, Orianna, Azir.
We saw you have the Taliyah with the nerfs, were they that big?
Uh, I mean it's kinda annoying in a way, like in early game because there is a lot of matchups
you want to like dodge, push and dodge and even if it's like 5 damage I think on Q,
sure, but you do like 7 Qs on lane that you wanna dodge and that's like,
okay, mine is 50 damage on a push and you will lose too much HP and
I mean, it depends. I think the champion is still okay.
That is his way, but the champion is still...
Maybe specific scenarios, especially as well as Rumble's the first to go.
Let's go into pick and ban.
On the other side, Karma. That is a Seraphine.
I saw on my Observer client in front of me, I saw Akshayan gone for a second.
I'm just confused about that.
But no, Akshayaphine in the bottom lane, which keeps taking over.
Bard also gone as well.
This is normally where we talk about Orianna.
The Ryze being taken down, but...
Orianna Ryze is indeed open.
Yeah, open, Jax.
I think they will just leave both of them and play the game one.
I think... I don't know who was first big, honestly. It's Vitality.
I think they just installed Orianna and these guys would just take like Jarvan's rise.
I think this is like the norm for Pantone.
You think instead of taking Rage, you think Orianna is just that much better and bigger?
I think the champ is just completely broken.
It's like not even... Yeah, it's just too much, I think.
Okay.
That's probably why they banned the Jarvan too, right?
Yeah, it's... I think like...
Okay, maybe I'm giving away my stuff, but I feel like Orianna is like...
You just need to have a gentleman in your team or a kind of a type thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right, right.
I mean, it's super common though, because, yeah, if it makes you feel any better, like, we would say the same thing in the class, right?
Jarvan, he's the type of champ where champions that don't have flash, he loves to play against.
Yeah, and so you come mid once, you force the gank out of Orianna, and then that's why so much last split we saw Orianna into Azir, right?
And the conversation was Azir level six forces ult, if Orianna flashes, then you chain gank the mid lane Orianna, right?
Yeah, it's kind of exactly like that, that's why I think Jarvan is mega OP.
I think the other one in jungler is like, okay, it's Pantheon because it kinda does the similar on 6, so...
But these guys just don't care, so that's respectable.
I respect that.
So how does this change the dynamic?
Because normally in the first half of draft, teams match, but if they're locking in bot lane,
do you think this force is vitality to lock in bot lane as well?
From what I'm hearing on cooldown then yes, I think so.
They need to lock a bot lane door right now, unless they have something special and Karazheed will be fair dust, but
I feel like teams right now just do whatever they want and whatever comes to practice.
Did he wakes up like that with his hair and just comes in?
I think so.
Yeah, I think so.
Because your hair is a bit wacky as well, not that crazy, but you know.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's a bit random, I'm gonna be honest. I think from both.
You're rocking it either way.
We get an army call here, I mean, yeah, he always has something, but
On the other side, we're expecting this. The Ryze is open, but is there something better for the comp you'd take instead?
That's a pretty sick Akali angle, I know.
It is a good Akali angle. I think the only acceptable answers are Ryze and Azir.
I mean, Akali, you can do it, but...
Mega-copy.
It's too flipped.
If you don't get somehow a kill, you will lose the game instantly, I think, so...
Yeah, Azir is like an okay answer if you're very confident, and I think it's not bad.
I just want to see what they're gonna play in jungle because all the AD champs would be like starting to get banned now
Yeah, I mean
Vitality probably once I
Was gonna say nocturne sin would be my immediate instinct. Yeah
And koi seem to agree by banning away the nocturne themselves
But I guess koi want what they want actually because you kind of got a front to back
Maybe would koi ever go Mundo here?
I mean it's possible, I mean for the comp it's not bad, the only thing I'm not sure about is the
like they're too heavy on the AP but maybe not as high, but yeah I don't know, I think that they will just look in Pantone in my opinion
I think Pantone is also a good champion in this Azir Orianna matchup because I think flash is like kinda important
and they always based it so, well you see it's just, it now just becomes too preference I think honestly
Yeah, because it feels like that Game 1, Zin is open, Panthe is open, Vi is open.
Yeah.
Actually, but like is Vi plus Zin ever good?
I don't like it.
I cannot dislike it here.
I feel like they just want to do two different things.
Yeah, I mean, unless you have the best Vi in the server that can somehow play from
to back then.
Yeah.
I don't think you really want to do like, then just pick any other champion in the
game.
Okay, okay, okay, well I think Vitality gearing up for a tank top, or maybe the Renekton comes here on
on 4-5
Because now I've just been taken away again. My next question for Emcoy outside of the jungle
I mean we've seen a bit more Sejuani, I know Isma's been playing it and kind of making it a bit more popular
I'm trying to think I mean we still took that Pantheon being up and available
Zidn's hour was another question as well also taking away from the org out.
Do you have all this mega boring right now?
They just pick anything that's AB.
Yeah.
So like, his fights, he could do Wukong, they could do Panth, they could do...
I mean, they're feeling funny.
I know Lengas likes Orlinas, he likes Eidrucks, so...
Yeah, but I'm not sure about this game.
Yeah.
I know he likes it, so...
And you, yeah, you'd probably be outranged and sad against Zeopas, you know,
Azir, Xangun.
Oh!
But, okay.
Do you guys know the Shaco Orianna combo?
This is the most OP game.
No, I don't.
I mean, from solo queue, I know about the Shaco Orianna combo.
I played it in competitive four years ago, so...
Did you?
Yes.
In my Czech League time, Oriana Shako was the most OP thing, and it still is, but people don't want to play it.
Oh, that's a shame.
Maybe it has some really good Shako's clear speed, perhaps.
That should be good, no? You put like boxes and stuff?
It was the end of the game.
That is such a classic mid lane response to a jungler.
They're like, it's good, no?
Just hit the camp.
Doesn't care.
There's a Pantheon, boring answer, but still an answer into the Zen.
Oh my god, this is just like the most vanilla.
It is the most meta comps I think I've ever seen in my life.
The only thing that saves it is its vitality versus core.
That's true.
That's the only thing.
Jackie's, we got you on for the most vanilla game of the series.
Hopefully it still pops off.
I honestly think it will still be fighting.
It's Karazi on Nushinami, sorry, Kokinami.
And it's Orianna Azir, which is also a lot of fighting in full manoid plays as well,
so I think there will still be a lot of skirmishing, so I'm fine.
I mean if you want to be old school like humanoid throughout his history Orianna used to be back when he was winning on Mad Lions in 2021
This was one of his champs you couldn't actually afford to give it
Yeah, like it's the perception around him over the years has changed a bit
But back in the day that he was a bit of a an Orianna goat here in EU
He was a really scary thing to give him. I was calling him Dorianna one tricker
Yeah, one thousand percent. I think he deserves that name to be her soul
Well, on the other side, I would say at the moment, giving JoJo a zeal, I mean, JoJo started
the split, it's been good.
JoJo's a zeal, it's been really good.
And when he came into the league last year, I feel like JoJo's a zeal, it was kind of
like, his lane was good, but his team fighting was a bit in there, right?
And we were coming in, our cast and narrative was always like, JoJo's this explosive talent,
but he can make really big mistakes.
Started this year, JoJo has been explosive, but the mistakes have been a bit of a,
it's kind of like you, Jacky, it's the best mid laner in the league.
So now we're going to prove is Jojo the second best?
Is he better than Jackie's?
We're going to get an answer here today
in the very late humanoid versus Jojo.
MQoY versus Vitality, this should explode
as humanoid and Jojo head on the red.
They are six and six and head to heads in game score.
Just a little tidbit for you here today as well.
All right, Jackie's.
And Jackie's.
How many, how much control do you as a mid laner have
with your jungler?
Do you sit there and say,
jungler come, I need help, and he comes?
or are you back in call to the jungle?
No, does he listen?
I mean, he does listen for sure.
I think with Isma, I think he's very easy to convince, to be fair.
If you need to be a very good lawyer, if you're a bad lawyer,
he will not listen.
But if you're a good lawyer, as fast as explaining,
he will do what you want.
OK, OK.
So the reason why I ask this is these two midliners,
do you think that the junglers have to listen to them,
or do you think it's the same sort of situation?
I think knowing Humanoid, I know
Like even from this career his jungle support is usually on the leash
For JoJo, I think I think like from watching and stuff
They just let him play and they will just come if it's good. I from what I'm watching is like
I don't feel like JoJo is even talking sometimes
They just come because it's good and he's permanently winning lane, so I just go, you know
Okay, we'll talk to us a little bit about this matchup
Do you normally expect a ZEA to get like that first wave push? No, I mean for sure
From what I know I think Orianna should always get the push and like it kind of flips in this matchup
I feel like she should be the one harassing on the tower and have the HP advantage and
Even having the runes in my house like it's mega aggressive runes right now goes make for the flash after we just got a comment from
Yeah, okay, so can you help us understand help the average use at home understand
What is the jurors doing that's actually giving him the advantage of a human right now?
Well, JoJo is like sometimes he surprises you in a way where you expect people to back off after a certain thing and he just doesn't back off.
He just keeps going no matter what kind of and in the Oriana matchup I feel like as Azir you can play two ways.
It's one of the defensive ways where you just kind of try to slow poke him and try to get as much CS as you can.
And there is the JoJo way where you just try to have your little tempo stack the whole lane and try to fight him.
which can work if it's working and it's working.
I'm getting hit hard, running forward is super, he accelerates,
oh we go back to mid, Humanoid just getting popped in.
Now he's just zoning in from the CS.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, I mean, in scrims this is a remake, I'ma be honest.
That's crazy.
The lens is fine, it's an angle.
Well, sure, Humanoid's like jungler, I think this is a good angle.
To be fair, Jujo is very gankable, I'ma be honest.
This is like one disadvantage, I think, in a way.
I think he's becoming way more clean, because now he's respecting the timers, before he was not.
So there's a very big difference, I think, why JV is very good now.
Because his position in the lane right there was perfect, right? He was hovering on the top side, expecting Pantheon to be a passing bot.
He was even giving some CS for it, which is not usually the case.
But now he's completely fine with it.
But now, at this point, shouldn't you feel a little bit more comfortable just because the mana advantage he has, even if his HP is lower?
Yes, but the thing is when you're this low, not really because still a WQ is gonna put you to 50 HP
And the presence of mind is still like, I mean I think that's what it is, I mean everyone plays that
The presence of mind, the room, oh my god
Hang on, they're gonna die, yeah Polymorph is really good, can't get a flash away
But I don't think he's getting out, win become fighting, El Yoye gets first blood and the dive survives
Super and Alvira get out with a slimmer of HP, they're thinking about a re-dive here
It's fleshy, has no mana to participate and hold off and Alvira just sends out a glitter lantern
Well done, El Yoyo though shielded flashes survives all blinking health bars and M. Koi
Perfection for a two and zero as the minions
Changed that at the end almost perfection. Yeah, I mean it was a near perfect dive from Koi
The Yanara plus Lulu is now getting accelerated against Koukinami
And it feels like that the lanes that I was expecting to win coming to this landing phase aren't exactly winning
Yeah, I mean, how bad is this dive for fire tower thing?
I mean, I don't really know that much about these bot lane matchups, but I also know usually
ranged matchups are very, like, snowballing.
And I think now the wait is coming into them.
And I know, for example, I see you and Nara still as a barrier, right?
Oh!
Honey, Jim, he's dead.
Boom.
No?
Okay.
Okay.
What's your off-roll, Jeff?
You don't know much about bot lane matchups.
I mean, the thing is, I know a lot about bot lane matchups, just not the ranged ones.
Okay, okay, okay.
But, yeah, I mean, my approach is probably jungle now, or top to be fair.
Better lanes, better games, better bot lanes.
You remember when I was talking about the leash?
This is it.
One who is in trouble, so...
FF bot lane.
Okay, okay, I mean yeah, I mean the good news for Kazi at least is Alpura is also roaming
So he's just playing 1v1 which he's not as upset about in combat
Okay, and in comparison to the 2 vs 2
He is down two waves, but if you can get that wave you should be fine
So soon he doesn't get dived if you're okay
Wait, all in flash, oh humanoid clean on the mechanics
They could be trouble on the way back is waiting for a shockwave and Jojo flashes that
So both alties burn as humanoid gets an advantage with the health bar
We look for a spot and get familiar setting up when becomes lighting gets an audacious charge three talent strike gets a knockup
The slowdown fleshing with the help bar advantage or rather disadvantage
Let's jump back in set the shield up super in trouble the shield giving him life
Let's just get the kill on the response card. He just for the battery helps finish off the second
And now I brought with the good little hands get the slowdown but the common legend
slows down the chase and now we're running for his life when the galing guns going down
Cardi phosphorus bomb out of range, but he picks up a kill and by telling finally gets running back far
So this feels like a vitality game to me, and it feels like it's still going.
All out, trying to buffer through, waiting for the path, making me win through.
Damage, there it is, wait, it's Gassante.
Flash away, match!
Knock-knock-o with another solo kill, and that's one on the board.
I mean, knock-knock-o is indeed the second best player in the world.
After you?
After me.
I see, go down.
No, before me.
Before you.
Before.
So who's the best player in the world?
I don't know, I'm just saying.
You're good. You're good.
So cut down.
So okay, so it went from a remake into...
This is like, should never remakes.
Alright, so this is the evolution of EU scrims we're talking about right now.
Before it used to be Insta remakes.
This would be an Insta remake.
And one thing from the other scrims, they never remake.
This is never remakes.
So damn.
Quick side note, with that solo kill, that's a 1.1 game goal lead, pal.
I mean, top is GG.
Also, look at the mid diff.
Yeah, I mean, as I said, like I think the Georgia was mega smurfing on lane, but the leash on the jungle support from Humanoid is just too strong.
So yeah, now Humanoid is in a good state again, and now I think the matchup is indeed a bit winning.
I think both Midlaners having no flash is like probably nothing's gonna happen now, in my opinion.
Both Midlaners just push and roam, so...
Oh, okay, okay.
Wait, Honoriyana? You push and roam?
Oh, not push and roam, push and like...
Hang on, we're fighting Spikes and bot lane.
lint is all 10 hours just dead that's false was bombing everything I feel like I have a mid laner
that's about to tell me about how OP is panned yeah I mean okay the thing is in my game
I think it just depends you know like this type of game I would say phantom is good because
Impressified it's good on the humanoid but Joe is a little bit isn't he
Well, why not runs in and what she gets what she also flashed
Jungler behind him. So I guess his logic is my jungler was coming. I can set up for my jungler this fish, man
I mean, yeah, but I think the jungler was too far
I agree
The beauty of hindsight I suppose what you're gonna tell me is flesh. He's just smurfing this game. Yeah, I mean fleshy is
Like I mean honestly flesh is surprising me to be fair. I thought
Okay, right. How do I not sound this mean? I mean doing way better. He's doing way better
I expected it.
Wait, wait, better?
So...
What did you think he was going to bait?
No, don't be mean now.
No, no, no, no.
I had to bait.
I had to bait.
Don't get rage-baited by that.
I mean, I think it's fair to say that, like, when you look at the names on Vitality, right,
Fleshy's kind of the one that stands out a little bit, it's the like, okay?
Yeah, because he's got shy, and his neck.
Right.
Okay.
Look at him now.
How could he not expect Fleshy to be this good as he's hovering once again, human-eyed
looking for his angle, and he's just going to run out and could have expected that.
He calls it with the whole leech thing.
I mean, I have the info on this guy, so...
I mean, yeah, I mean, to be fair, like, maybe it's a leech, right?
But at the same time, this mid-match-up,
I feel like whoever wins the match-up will win the game.
So, at the same time, it's a good gameplay at the same time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, super.
Even if the Unara Lulu is like 300 gold up, let's say,
but Orianna is fair, I think they can't play the game, so...
Love that.
And also, I feel like Nami just...
On her roam, she's just way more useful.
Yeah, she's a good player.
The thing is, this allows the humanoid to berm a trade, and if Nami's behind him, he'll even heal him up after it.
It's so OP. If I'm Azir, I don't want to trade ever.
I'm a jolly as well from Nami's.
Yeah, it's so OP.
Yeah, it's just every champ is OP.
Every champ.
I'm starting to get that gone.
I'm really starting to...
League of Legends, if you play good, every champ is OP.
That's right.
Every champ is OP.
Okay, okay.
I think it doesn't matter.
I feel like we're getting really into the behind the scenes of the language of the pro player.
It's really...
I mean, we're learning fast. We might need a translator for the future, but this is exceptional.
Because what I've come to learn, especially from pros, is that any champ that negatively affects their role is mega OP.
I mean, it's incredibly OP.
So the way you were talking about Jarvan earlier, like, to most journalists they think boring champ, slow clear, kind of whatever, mid laners, Jarvan's the most broken champion in the entire game.
Yeah, I mean the thing is that the top of chance you also usually meet them at like two items
Yes, when they just kind of just for some reason some luck all of the jungle. They just want you on you
Yeah, yeah, they just decide to one of us and like you're playing a colleague. You feel fed. Why is it a job?
Albright's cook kids. I don't like them like they really don't Jackie's I've been told your team once you're back. Okay
Now we're gonna get
He's talking right in your right.
He's looking at us back there.
Um, what do you think? Vitality cooked or?
Is your pig bro gonna win?
I think, I mean, I have no clue.
I don't know what you're saying.
With vitality predictions, I can never tell you.
I don't know what you're saying.
This is too flip.
So you're not gonna make a prediction?
I mean, they will 2-0 then.
You're not gonna flash difference here or what?
No way. You could never.
Why not?
I mean, you should not play Smash on Orianna.
Would you not?
I mean, I was for sure but you should have flashed you.
He's gonna do it.
Oh, he doesn't know who to do it.
That was pretty shit.
I mean...
What do you think?
I mean, that's right, I guess.
Jackie, we'll get you on next week.
We'll see what you give us about that.
Thank you very much.
Congratulations to the win.
Jackie's three and zero.
And a good way to finish the second week.
That's the legend.
Thank you so much.
That was hilarious.
Thank you, Jackie.
That was fantastic.
Yeah, that was interesting.
That was a good time.
We're getting back into the chaos of vitality.
It felt like after the starts it felt like that this is like I mean he said it himself the remake right the remate
What gallery of three thousand gold up? What is happening? Jojo gets a flush out of humanoid. It's good
Now the engagement. Oh, you're a present guy gets a shut down after Jojo decided not to flash
He just stands there sets up a kill and gets one on the board meanwhile the diving bottom lane is loose
It's looking super at heartbreak speed up by the title way plus in two
Alrow is dead to the fish and vitality. 3.5k gold, 9 kills on the board.
Fleshy has a killing spree. 3-1 and 4. There's bot lane after the dive, has done nothing but
come alive. Skirmish after Skirmish has gone their way. We're looking back at the dive.
Remember the play happened in mid, the humanoid ended up losing his life, but in a bot lane,
two kills secured, linsus with a nice stun after the flash comes through from super, and
then fleshy knows he has the damage with the heal and the empowered autos from his E.
Beautifully done, I mean this game is quickly getting out of control for Koi, Vitality.
They've found these early leads before though, right?
They've been able to build early advantages, we'll see if they can close things out
with the advantage that they've built.
And look, I will say that one lane we're not talking about is this guy, Natsunako, he might be ulted shortly.
Renekton's starting to bust, I mean my grand start falling in the mid lane, they're just trying to pull his super down to his death.
Setting out the Aegis assault, they're going to chase down Super again, range needed, Karzy with one, no misses!
A second time round, the big one! Just out of range!
Super survives after using his transcendence, but by Cali, they still get pressure meters, we're heading the pace up again.
Shockwave, setting up for another solo kill, Aery almost gets the kill.
close to death again but Humanoid Doriana they need to be flashbacks as
meanwhile takes the ulti over. Nuck Nucko gets Dominus down so he will survive as he
gets out of there without burning the flash but JoJo is lucky to be alive and
I cannot believe I'm saying this but today I think Humanoid with help of
fleshy is gaffing that mid laner. Yeah I mean it really has been the support
difference really just because early on Humanoid definitely was struggling but
All they needed was a game called 2 from Flashy and Linsus in the mid lane to alleviate some of that pressure.
And just like that, they've been able to swing it.
And now Humeroid is just dominating JoJo in a side lane.
Kazi's also back in again. Remember that bot lane dive looked devastating for the bot lane of Vitality.
It felt like they were going to struggle to come back, but one gank from Linsus swung the entire momentum.
Second dragon of the game goes their way.
The swaps have come through. Top lane is now finding themselves bot.
Poplan has made their way up towards... actually I stand corrected, it's gonna be Karzy staying in the middle lane for now.
Wee.
Information for the game.
No shockwave there, otherwise maybe that could have been a play. Humanoid 3 seconds still is up, but...
No flash though, no flash for Humanoid, and we'd see him in the area.
But hey, I'm starting to believe, wait, Humanoid, no flash feeding, should have told me.
Shockwave, flashed away from my JoJo, now he's running for his life, knocked him to the air, sky high!
It's a great wild cry, so he turns into a kill on the lenses, and maybe one just coming shortly, trying to tell the future as he flashes, waits by Talisman's jungle, and support running for their lives.
Jojo's thinking about the dive, but he's got no ulti, no flash. He's just there going to whack away at the turret. The game's still pacing up, and surprisingly enough, M.Coy are not given up yet.
They haven't just yet. M.Coy, they're skirmishing where they can. They're finding picks where they can.
You've got to punish this Orianna when she does not have her flash available.
The risk of moving Ori to a side lane is exactly what you're seeing in those long lanes.
She becomes very vulnerable to these ganks and they're going to put her back into top.
Not too unsurprising all things considered.
Mid tower going to go down but we look back at this and yet in the play
is straightforward. Ulti onto Humanoid. You have your jungler available.
JoJo has to flash because of the risk. The bubble still connects from Fleshy.
Valencia is a little bit over zealous here with Alvaro in the picture too
And the support that he's providing, there's no way that they can win this 3 vs 2.
Well played from Koyt, they get back on the board.
4 kills to 9 though as another tower goes the way of Vitality still.
A net gold game leave, and look at the matchups.
It's Cassante vs Orianna, that's going to be another tower secured in the top lane.
Vitality not slowing down at all in this game today.
I have seen this as Shockrow gets buffed really nice from Mewen,
and he needs nice plays with the way he's getting drawn for him.
but even though he's doing the damage,
we'll open up the top turret ready.
We obviously focused on mid because Jackie's was here,
but I don't think I've seen Renekton versus Cassante
beat this one-sided in isolation,
I don't know, across the multiple regions we have.
I mean, this is NacNacos' pick.
I mean, the way he bollies in this matchup
is very impressive.
He has quite the health of the lead for sure.
He's sitting on what he basically has half the lead, but it's fleshy that kind of has
Regardless though Harold's gonna be secured for vitality and
Like I was optimistic about vitality coming through. I mean we were excited about them at the start of the year, right?
I think everyone was of the expectation that they were our fourth best team
But they ran into KC in the lower bracket. Yeah, and so as a result of that they ended up falling short
But the way that they're playing high expectations for them this split getting a win over Koi would be massive for the team again
We've got to talk about the schedule because for vitality a lot of their games are in the first half of the split
Right, we can bring it up on your screen. We're gonna have to take it off real quick because Mewen's getting ganked
Oh god
We're waiting for it and Mr. and Southall left the shockwave is perfect and me one doesn't stand a chance back. It sounds like ain't tanky enough
They can't even find the stop button
That's why tell you to get another kill. Well, that's why you can bring it back after the replay
Here it's coming back to the replay. We're gonna replay probably all we won't I don't know in any case replay
Here's the graphic nice play. This is what we wanted to illustrate there
So look at this they play of their games. They play
seven of them in the first four weeks of the split right which is so many games
they play their last two in week six and so it's so important that you have a
good start to the season you just have to come out the gate swinging because
when most of your split is decided by week four like you don't have time to
mess about you're gonna lock it they're locked in I think this
vitality is a version that we're kind of continuing on from versus you
saying it's the opposite for Koi right then floundering here is not the end of
the world because the bulk of their games is in wheat seven yeah exactly so for
Koi they'll have time to fix issues but vitality they've got a step up now and
what a step up we've seen from them they have lost once this split so far and
arguably what was I think a pretty winnable series I think was against
KC if I remember correctly pull it up for you because I remember yeah KC 2 1
because the Team Heretic series was absolute stop.
Yeah, and even the Navi series, I guess it was a stop,
but now it gets me when they're going to do the same.
Cardi's damage pierces through the Cassandei.
Aquapresent trying to predict where he's going to jump to.
They're finally to flash Tataway, just misses the tip.
Shockwave that brings him back.
A lot committed.
The Vitality take me and went down again.
Jackie said, and I called,
you don't want to waste your flash on Orianna.
Yeah.
And Simono uses it to kill a 0-2-0 Cassandei on the side lane.
But would Jackie say that's wasting it?
I mean, I think objectively, he would say yes.
But for Jackie's POV, he'd be like, nah, I'll work.
Need the gold.
I'd present.
I mean, humanoid is 1.4k gold up as well.
And now in front of Dragon, there is no shockwave or tidal wave.
They don't care.
Does El Jorja think?
No, they're just starting it anyway.
Boss, they pushed that mid.
What more do they need?
Orianna has no flash.
That's also true.
He's out.
OK.
I thought El Jorja found an angle,
but Dragon goes down.
But this Vitality team, man, they make no sense, right?
Like, this is one of the cleanest games we've seen from them?
Yeah.
In true Vitality style, what are they doing?
They're relying on individual talent
to just outsmirk their opponents.
Because they lost the early game.
They did!
They lost it.
They was like a 2K gold lead.
And they just, that's what they do.
They just outsmirk their opposition.
And now, their snowballing objectives,
so clearly, three dragons, 20 minutes in.
Sol is going to be at 25 minutes.
That fight could very well determine the game.
They're threatening Baron at all points because they're strong enough to start it.
Now, Kako, I mean, he's back to bully Mirwin.
And he's got Black Cleaver.
He went Sterak's second, so obviously the teamfights is going to be near-unkillable at this early stage.
But that's a strong renecdion as well.
And we gear up for a potential early Baron.
Maybe the comp is a suit, but regardless, that's the threat that everyone starts thinking about.
There's 6,000 gold in the sand, and in four minutes, the Mountain Solve comes up.
They're super fun to watch they are fun, you know Jackie said it himself. He's like I look forward to vitality
I think we all do I feel like everyone is just becoming a vitality fan because the way they win
It is not through. I mean, it's not that they have bad macro
No, but they don't win for cover matter. They win right up skill. Oh, well, let's see if they can do it here
Cuz Enkoi I would say the same in 5v5 outskilling with Enkoi first true
Their 5v5s were legendary and that's how Super started building his name in the LEC JoJo as well as that almost miss
But I guess he just
Deliberately so that Pamplon would be pushed towards the jungle
So we got like a down angle and then he tilted it so that genius. Yeah, it's clever. It's clever passing really
Thanks. Well, they got good damage on mid-time. They get inner and far
Orianna just got six of the gold for free. Oh, yeah, and it's now seven thousand gold
So, MQoy of scaling, like this is a classic front to back, how much more time do they
need?
15 minutes?
Many, many times.
Many, many times.
Yes.
Oh dear, where's Jackie's bringing back?
Jackie's out.
We gotta get him one last week, I think.
That was a, that was good.
But I mean I felt like he was the perfect man to get to this matchup.
Oh for sure.
You've been bullied by both these midlaners before.
True.
He was able to speak from experience.
Speak from the heart, I think you mean.
Absolutely.
Yeah, that was...
And he's such a big humanoid fan.
Yeah.
He was sweet hearing about how he sees him as a role model, so...
He said, bro, I thought he was going to say sun.
Well, he said both, really, didn't he?
Yeah.
But, you know, if Jackie's was the best, he'd say sun, wouldn't he?
Well, he's got to grow into that, still.
No, he doesn't.
He said he's the best in the world, bro.
Okay, he did also say that.
That's very younger brother energy.
Yeah, that is also true.
Alright, Naka, 2v1, here we go.
Riz was right at it in and out, but he's just been punished by Jogger.
Send back, Naka Naka has himself a Starex, but he's got the point with Jogger,
but he was still died by 4.
Eventually, Scythe dies, but he gets out.
Rather than, excuse me, Naka Naka knew it would be so.
As Baron now the thought the vitality getting a numbers game with three dead from M-Coy.
Like great white sharks vitality's spelt blood and they swap so fast to that top lane to get involved in the action
They find three kills and now that should be an uncontested Baron
Vitality will let no fight go unanswered and knock knock oh even in this death did so much damage
Look, it becomes a 2 vs 1, the phone playing gets propped,
Jojo's still very healthy, but then Nakako sees an opportunity.
I got flashed in and helped my jungler here,
Linz is melting through Jojo, still gets popped,
and now my Karthusian flesher here, the TP from Humanoid as well.
The quick rotation up from mid lane, the whole of Vitality answer the call
and they convert three kills into a Baron.
Vitality, just playing it so much better.
I mean, so much burn to try and keep Jojo alive.
And he's had a bit of a rough game, but to be fair he has been camped, he has been counted, and Humanoid has stepped up.
Has it ever... I feel like everyone's been camped this game from the core.
Oh yeah, Luke's been everywhere, Tataway trying to predict under JoJo close.
The Proto Belt on this year is a common occurrence now, and Vitality with this Baron forcing him away.
Now moving towards mid, good transition as they look to take the inner that was ran before by the Herald.
They just... they don't slow down. They stop.
Okay, step one, look for a fight. Step two, force the fight. Step three, no fight, we'll just move to where you're not and we'll take something off the map.
It's fight, fight, steal, then look for another fight.
Never mind, how do we get to the next fight?
Dragon's Soul, 10 seconds here it comes. Now, there's gonna have to be a miracle from Enkoi, but...
as they'll walk into the channel.
TP early, yeah, that makes sense.
How do they do it?
All five members here.
TP being used in mid lane, knock, knock out.
He didn't quite finish off the GA.
Oy, waiting, Humanoid, Shockwave.
No, instead, this is when Flammero gets into half HP
by Talty, not ready to go in, but it's El Yoia
who starts in the first Cragnogard.
Shockwave brings him back in, but doesn't do much damage.
The flick back on the lenses, maybe win him all as JoJo.
Binds the road.
On the Humanoid, though, the target is late.
El Yoia trades his last to get the kill,
The judges ordering why Bacchasi gets the better of him.
Now the chase continues as Marilyn in the all-out,
squishy again, a triple over Bacchasi on this corky.
As Tatawai sends Super Navarro, Westwood,
Downwood, South, and away from the dragon.
By Tality, get the soul, and it's not over yet.
The star ball hit the double slow,
Linsen shreds them, one-shots, double kills,
and by Tality, are ready to close the door on game one.
They may very well look to try and end the game right now.
Those death timers aren't even that long.
I don't think they can do it,
but they're gonna take as much as they can,
and they secure the soul.
They still have the Baron,
and they're gonna break down this tower.
Vitality in game one have been nothing but ruthless.
And they have got punch for punch against Emcroy
and come out on top in every single fight.
Conversation with communities,
how the lint is in humanoid step up.
Well, this is definitely a way of losing this fight on Munkar.
Nice flash in from Aliorio.
The target selection is good, but the flash and some of the humanoid is better.
The shortwave didn't do much damage.
You recognize that in the fight.
Jojo goes for a play of his own, but now the fight is too scattered.
Nakdako against three on the back line has joined so much focus
that it allows for the rest of the vitality to deal with the members
threatening their back line.
Kazi gets himself a triple kill and vitality with the soul.
They say this is not enough, we need to get more kills, fight for more, and Linus dies getting himself a double.
There's so much damage, he's so escalated in this game.
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Look at the camera!
There is!
He's in the middle of a game!
They call me Steph Curry.
They call Steph Curry.
But he's talking to the camera!
He's in game and he's whizzing us!
What is this team?
I've never seen such a thing in League of Legends, but I've never been so flustered during your cards, you know.
Holy moly.
Oh my goodness, Vitality.
They're just melting everybody's hearts.
It's on the team of Mojo.
That's what this team is, y'all.
The Montreal, that is the team of Mojo.
And for Vitality, game one seems done and dusted.
11,500 Gold League, you know it is rightly so to be said.
doing the final due diligence to get this base and rather the enemy base
crumbling in order 0 8 scoreline for lenses an impressive scoreline for sure
the funniest thing about it is it's 13 of the teams 19 kills yeah which means
that there were six kills happening on the map that you just didn't get involved
in because the rest of his team it's just non-stop fighting ever else on the
map yeah yeah we got mugged oh yes he's dead on shockwave again humanoid close
getting a solo kill the heal familiar to get him out command attack just out of
range in course jungler running back once again as now it is just about
waiting for the next baron the back of the base wait wait wait wait what is it
Orianna shot they pull down it I think it's 60 seconds yeah 59.26 nice how
much damage that doing these days right now the raw damage it says 846
magic damage. And he's only got 312 AP. Yeah, you know, but that is without taking in account.
That doesn't take into account all the like the void stat. Yeah, he's got double pain because
he's got the true damage. Yeah, he does. Yeah, he went for the full on. I do damage boots.
And for a contact super has 46. Yes, 46 magic. How much will that reduce 32% because there's
the flat pen, right, which is 18 flat magic pen. And then there's the percentage. I forget
like 8% won't do much because it's very low but I forget what order it comes in
if it does the flat first and then the percentage or the percentage first then
the flat either way this nearly does through damage to you know let's find
out how super survives okay because I think at this point anyone from Encore
surviving even Mirwood is gonna be a mystery walking towards the bar and
And that's the first step, there's, are these one out of fours in the ulti chamber, but Vitality
is willing to take this 5v5 through the mid lane, Nak Nak is waiting for the TP, there's
the apple present, Nioh and Slow down and with the cat-linked he's being shredded down.
That is the tank of MQoy everyone, and he is almost dying.
He was absolutely melted.
Illusion once again being contested as Baron is alive.
So the one way Vitality lose this is by flipping an elder.
of what happens an elder could always change the game knock back who's
tepid into top lane and is pushing yep vitality decided we don't care about the
fight we can just actually push towards what I'm walking you
win by themselves title over new yoyo he pulls that credit nobody wants by this
one is he flesh of the way credit got back on fire runs back in for the
healer because he's taken on super super gets close but link to get in the
way but meanwhile humanoid getting charged up I knew it but knock knuckle
and decided to kill Alvaro, run into the flank, and Vitality's mojo is off the charts.
Five for zero, Vitality obliterate Encore in the middle lane,
and they will look to close that game one in dominant fashion.
But the early game was not dominant, Betty, so we have to ask the question,
What the hell happened to make Vitality so down cool and clean and come and
Collected as lenses moxers one more time exiting the stage
What a game from Vitality 6-0 11 score line for the man in the jungle
It was nothing but a brawl, but an impressive and an entertaining one to watch
Let's hear from the man in the mid lane himself. He's staring us down as well Jack. Look at his face
Well played Humanoid, I don't know if you heard but we had Jackies on the cast and he said your early laning phase against JoJo would have been a remake if it was scrims
But you had your team so much on that leash that you could play lane. Do you have any comments to Jackies?
I mean I'm playing with the fact that my name is just there on it, you know, it was a big brain play
Fair enough. Good luck in the next one Humanoid as we walk over to my fellow analysts. What did you guys think?
I don't know every humanoid is an interview is like it's like a box of truck that you open and you never know what you're gonna get
Yeah, today was the PR comments. He also said that he's always lying in interviews
I don't know what we make of this, but holy mother of gap
It kind of just hit everywhere and as he said like to begin with it didn't look so hot for humanoid
No, but then it was like just solo killing these here a couple of times like Orianna is supposed to be
Scared in a side lane and then I see humanoid just going for kills and Jojo put under terror
I'm like what the hell's happening. I mean in the early game. I was super hyped. I was seeing like okay
Jojo's winning the lane. There's a classic Jojo. We're building Jojo King. He's like so good in laning phase
That's not he would be the key for M. Coi
But then it felt like super died the rest of the map starts full apart and I think Jojo was a victim personally because
Like yes, you might have a great game
But when the whole map is falling apart, especially when you're in mid
It's so hard to keep it together and I think you could tell like the pressure of the game was as well getting to JoJo
He was still trying to make place that maybe would work in a normal circumstance. Yeah
And this game it was too little. Which I think is incredible because like this is not a favorite matchup for these here by any stretch
The imagination like Orianna kind of slops this the fact that he was able to get that early lead
Says a lot about how he was doing but as you say it was just everyone else started to show up
I was like well there goes that problem. Yeah, I mean I kind of want to look at the like the bot lane
Oh, but clean first. Okay, because we need to get top lane as well.
Because I think first we need to be a little bit critical of M-Koi, and then we can hype up Vitality, for him at least.
Like, it starts off right where M-Koi, they get dive on Vitality, so they get a head.
And then they go into this fight, this is an M-Koi that is a head.
And they get a great chunk onto Fleshy, but then Supa's like,
I'm now gonna continue fighting even though Elioi is already backed off,
and he completely disrespects Pantheon's damage, so he ends up falling,
and now the rest of M-Coy are in a terrible position because they tried to follow up super.
And this was completely egregious. You've just gotten the dive bot, you've just gotten the two kills.
If you just went for that poke and that was enough, you turn away, you get dragon,
and you're snowballing completely out of control, especially off of the play that Jojo had in the mid lane,
the fact that you went for this completely through the game tops you Turvy,
and less by telling me to get back into this.
Now, do you feel like it's a consistent issue with Zephine?
And that's something that Melzett was highlighting as well, the fact that he wants his AD carry to become a player that can snowball a lead rather than throwing them.
And I feel like it was the case of that once again.
I mean, I think Melzett has had a lot of harsh words for...
But he knows he's a player!
But I think it's like also deserved, because this is a team that they talk about winning worlds, they talk about being one of the best teams.
And you can't be making the same mistakes over and over again.
And especially it's like when we talk about super, it's always been overconfident, a little bit too cocky.
And that's what you see here as well, right?
It's like, it just feels like Supa thinks he's always a little bit stronger than he actually is,
and it's really...
Every play doesn't have to be the montage moment.
Sometimes you can't just be the role player,
and you can just let the team carry you into a position.
And especially when that early game has gone as well as it had,
there was no reason to push that far.
And I think this is, again, kind of what you're saying.
Like, he comes back to bite them so regularly,
that now it does become an issue.
And we even saw it a little bit from Irwin in this as well,
where he was not having the best of times.
I mean if you're talking montage is wrong, I haven't seen this big top cap, I don't know,
like when in EU, I guess Kanna, like previously we saw these big top caps, I feel like it's
been so long since we see a top laner that's just like, yeah I'm gonna go Renekton, and
I'm gonna win lane, like Renekton is supposed to do, and not just win lane, win lane so
hard that you understand why for 10 years this champion was so high, Pryo and pro
when we just saw it go equal every single game and then he flanks so well on the team fights as well
he buys stop-bush and buys GA and buys 10 seconds of time it's incredible.
Yeah, but it's even just the people you see there right like Hannah, huge, Tracin, huge,
Mainter and look at the goat if the 14 against Mirren like who left to stop them.
We've got like broken blade is like the one guy you're kind of like please
for the love of god figure and stop this monster because no one else knows how.
One question that I have though, what are they feeding vitality lately?
I think just for good vibes. I don't know.
I think it's the team that's just, they have so much fun and you can see it in how they play.
And they're also playing, they're like feeding off of that energy and playing better because of it.
Which is funny, because I think Mko used to be that team. They used to be the fun team.
But now you see that the pressure is on them. I think especially with Super and Mirwin.
A big reason why I feel like they're always trying to get a bit too much is because of that pressure that's built on them.
While by Thaudi, they don't have any of that.
What is the expectation for next game? Because this looked pretty one-sided, all across the board.
I still want to hold M-Coach to high standards because I've seen them, I know what they're capable of,
but I just feel like right now this is not giving them any chance here.
Yeah, I mean, if I'm not on backstage, I'm giving them a bobblekin and just like, look, stop it,
Let's just focus on you won your lanes. You knew how to play it through the early game
You knew how to play through your winning strategies why you thrown it away?
So I think if you can go back into this game and say hey jojo in a losing matchup
You got to leave we can play through these dogs again like Elioa did good work in the early stages
That should be a winning combination
Well vitality as we've seen like they don't tilt they just always find a way back
I mean, I think there's some good cope from Emkhoi first
It's like because of the bot lane play that domino effected in the mid lane and now suddenly both think one play and a mid lane
couldn't play. And Top lane wasn't really because of anything, it was just the one we
want that he couldn't play. But that's also like NAKNAKO had the Renekton, which has been
D-Pick that he's done the best on. Now that's out. So I think there's a lot of good things
for M-Koi going into game two. I think JoJo will still be the player that I'm looking
at to win lane, because this was a losing matchup as we touched on Rob, where he's
still gapped humanoid in the early lane phase, but it was just because of the
support jungle dynamic that made it so difficult for him to play. So if bot lane
a sequel, JoJo wins lane, NACNACO wins lane, and then it's a battle between those.
The only thing you do everywhere with NACNACO is his Jax, his NAR, his Ambassador, you know,
there's a...
You're a king bin, as we call him, and so far MQar does not have any answer.
We know what they're capable of, so let's see if they can make it happen in the game
too.
I
It's just disappointing.
This is what we're doing.
What's wrong with me today I think you should have a break
Break have a Kit Kat
Let go gives you wings
Wait, is he switching lanes?
Don't try to make yourself remember, darling, don't look for me, I'm just a story you've
So let's pretend to live alone
Cause when we're gone, everything goes on
You're staring at the window
And I said I wanted to take you to the sea
I have to cry
Explode to the greed
But I'm by your side
I said
Don't try to make yourself remember
Don't look for me
I'm just a study of the phantom
So let's pretend
In the long run
That I'm not gonna go
Everything boils down
And I'm so scared of getting used to this
I'll define to keep you tethered in your room
Some day both of us are leaving here, but for now I'll just bring this here.
Vitality swept, wiped, and I don't know, clean the floor of M-Coyote, Mr. Exorcist Betty.
And today, with humanoid fans in the audience, we've got a big vitality day, I think, because
it's hot damn, they look like that.
Well, Poi have lost games before, so I'm not going to count them out.
So is vitality.
Right.
So, like, yes, it was a convincing game one, but let's not be, as the old adage goes,
be Game 1 Andy.
That's you.
You're a Game 1 Andy.
As you know, I'm often the opposite of a Game 1 Andy.
I often am not.
I'm a logical, highly intelligent, sophisticated, and...
Did you, didn't you predict G2, 3-0 IG or something in 2019?
No, because that never happened.
No.
So I feel like you just put in my point.
Sorry, the MPX, MPX.
Thank you.
So thank you for rewriting history.
It's all good though.
I mean, they would have got destroyed by IG.
It's all good.
IG anyway.
No, no, no.
Have you just confessed to actually being an LPL fan?
No, I was.
I changed.
Oh, yeah.
I changed.
Right.
I mean, if the Shia isn't in the league, I don't care.
I've got my own Nishai here, his name is Okan Kan.
That guy is insane.
And on the same backstage, even though you at home might hear
the repetition that I reference teams of the past of LPL to us,
I do feel like Vitality and there's many IG.
Dude, that top lane is insane.
Solar lane has played out of their mind.
You've got a jungle that facilitates
and just wants to go in all the time.
And then you've got the Jackie Love, SK80 carry.
Why wouldn't it be IG of 2019?
Well, they're not going to get...
They're not going to get Pantheon again.
Well, that's for sure, but...
Yes.
...Lynce is Jarvan Thorse.
Is Jarvan going to be left up in a battle?
I think it's going to be banned.
But then you've also got Ryze.
It's banned.
It has Ryze gone yet.
It has banned.
It suddenly appeared.
Nocturne as well from Vitality.
Vardgon means what?
Another enchantment?
Vardgon means...
Yeah, Ash Seraphine, though.
It's the coolest thing about Ash Seraphine.
Seraphine, do they care?
Axe Seraphine, Ryze already banned away.
What else is big news?
Karma, we talked about it earlier, is first pickable?
Yes, true, also true.
Yeah, Axe Seraphine, Karma, all that jazz.
Ultimately it comes down to the first pick.
It's going to be vi-logged in.
So, all right, pretty interesting.
does mean a little bit more backland for it. Ari now raises in priority
potentially paired up alongside for JoJo or Aurora also very valuable to fight
with Xen and Panthe both gone like nefiri something lances is brought
on to via a couple times. Wukong is also a possibility but they might just try
and go for their bot lane now. Ash Seraphane or Seraphane Wukong but then you
lose ash. I don't know if you care about losing ash. What do you think? Is there
everything to be paid? They could just do karma Ezreal too. They can
kind of do whatever they want. They have to think about what do we want
into Vi and I would argue that like the Vi is a deterrence to Ash
Seraphine. Yeah but Ezreal is not. I mean Kazi's Ezreal is also insane. Yeah I
feel like karma Ezreal just makes the most sense based on the fact that
They've already first picked Vi, so Karma first.
Now, they might pick the Ezreal away, but I don't know, yeah, okay, yeah.
But the thing is, I think that this is still actually a winning bot lane matchup,
based on what Han said.
He was like, normally this matchup is favored for Karma Ezreal.
So my expectation is Vitality is pretty happy with how this plays out.
They, yeah, I think they're chillin'.
This gets Karma, he gets Karma, and Karma has lane presence, so, alright.
While they're chilling, I'm more interested about the top match up because last game Nath Nath
Nath has stopped on the redacted versus Cassante and we, it was being talked about, I believe
Jack or Rob was hanging on the desk, I'm sorry for misquoting, but they were talking about
the fact that we just don't see this in Europe. We don't see that match up go that way because
people don't punish the Cassante. So I'm curious to see what Nath Nath can punish against
me with this game as Rumble gone might show you that we are getting some kind of tank
or maybe Nah as a possibility, Jace disappears. Which is fair, Nuck Nuck O, he's played Jack's
Rumble, Nah, Gwen, Sante and Renekton split in a couple of those and now off the board.
What do I like? Do you like? I feel like my instinct is Zahan.
Do I like to hand it to Ash Seraphine?
What do you think about Shen on the Encore side?
That's a non-Shenna.
Encore side?
That'd be a non-Shenna.
Oh, what do you think that's for you?
Well, I think if I tell it to him, I'd just lock him up.
That's what he is.
You reckon?
They banned double AP though, which just, I mean, with Cassante already gone, why
are they afraid of double AP?
Is it?
Oh, oh, it's the nah.
That's fine.
Okay, fine.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, I thought they might consider Ambessa, but I guess they don't really want more backfire
threat, they want a little bit more frontline.
It seems that Koi right now is thinking about the Ambessa, because that was the other thing.
If I tell you to pick Ambessa, you're taking it away from the Vi combo.
But instead, they're going to go in a different direction, give a humanoid the counter bit,
which I think is valuable considering how much we've praised JoJo for his individual
aiming.
Basically, it gets locked into the Vi.
Zoe was thought about Zoe with with Biome, there's a lot of pick tools if that gets locked in
and you do still say more AP damage, hearings are good but remember humanoid has counter pick here
yeah so something like the cindra could just get slammed in as a side note
something safer for JoJo victory is safer yeah the question is is Vitality now thinking about
an Akali angle. Oh yeah that's a good point actually. Could also be Silas, there's a good
couple of ults that you could steal. It depends how much humanoid cares about or if you just
want to play a mage. Does he need like a short range fighter type Leblanc? I hate Leblanc here,
I think it's bad. Silas is a good mention. Okay there you go. Is it in? Yep. Yeah so the
So the risk of Silas is that you just, you, laning phase is miserable, you just hate your
life, but once you're out of lane, then you, you got some great ults that you can steal.
So, Victor ultimate is fine, but the Ash arrow and the Seraphine ults are probably the most
valuable ones.
Their ability to both peel, find picks, all sorts of stuff is, is really useful.
You have a nice skirmishing mid jungle duo, which I would argue spikes harder than
the Victor does at level six, just because of your ability to steal the ult and the
healing that he gets from his W. However, in the range match, he's more likely to max his Q.
I think on paper, I like Koi's draft. I don't like that they have a front-to-back pot-side that
wants a safe front line where they can just hit whoever's in front of them, whereas they've got
dive in their top and jungle. So I feel like that the composition wants to do two different
things. Whereas I think Vitality have a very Vitality draft, which is each champ has a lot
of individual agency and it allows for a lot of skill expression and for each player to just do
whatever it is that they want to do. Their diver wouldn't say he's the strongest, it's a relatively
short-range comp with Karzy being the exception. But they can't do it in the first place, I'll
know for the viewpoint. Exactly, I think it's very well-rounded, like I think it just excels
excels in skirmishes. So we'll see as we jump into game two, there's best of three vitality
find themselves at match point and it would be a huge win for Vitality if they take out Koi here.
Given that expectations are higher for them this split, they want to be contesting the top of the
table. They fell just short in the last split and their schedule is intense. They have a lot of
their games within the first four weeks of the split and we're already in week two. So every win
is great. Oh my God, human idea level one. Did he take absconded duck? He did indeed. On the
Super he's getting petrified burst a couple of times close to first blood super gets saved
But the bottom lane of 48 seconds in the game will have to walk it back home guards will get them to the lane
But I mean you know to maybe miss. I mean that's just it's saying that he's done that so
The lane it's not he's not gonna lose anything. I don't think he won't do the single thing he's got E and
No, he's gonna get the experience. It's gone though. He does miss. He doesn't miss one for the experience
That's all that matters. So again, laning phase, you really do not like playing into Victor early on, you're mega out range.
His E starting E doesn't help him. Victor starts Q, yep, and so you get a shield which really helps.
And I, but the payoff is bot lane. We've got to go back, we've got to check it out.
Because the consequences of this is now, if you look at the pink barn underneath Kazi's name, you can see that that's about halfway filled.
For Super, he's only just now got on his first minion, so level 2 is about to come through on this next minion right here,
and now it's really depressing. It is so sad.
Fought the M.Coy bottom lane because they're going to be denied so much experience.
Sorry, so much farm that they will get level 2 eventually, but they're just going to have to suffer until that point.
So, Kazi and Fleshy off to a fantastic start here.
the coverage is nice, linsus around the bottom side but he's looking towards mid and said
jojo's going in for the drake he's punished, but away from the escort of duck, as linsus
goes on in and sends him a pole or two, jojo's gonna back away, he's gonna flush out
he's got his flash out and humanoid level three now, this puts a lot of pressure on Jojo
he can't be as aggressive as he wants, great adaptation there from linsus
just going for that early gank and forcing the flash out from jojo puts him in a way
more vulnerable spot and alleviates the pressure from humanoid, good adaptation it
It will slow his jungle clear it might be a little bit harder to contest the bot crab
But maybe she doesn't care because his bot lane still has pride because it's a play that's humanoid made
It's all just piecing together beautifully for vitality here in the other game
That's great isn't it and TP now will come from humanoid as he gets the face away
So look linsus again, so he skipped his crugs. He's decided I need to get the crab
He has no mid laner, which is a problem. El Yoya will be level 4
But the most important thing is bottom lane look at flesh. He's positioning
He's putting himself in the control ward.
Kazi's already rotated up.
They're helping with the damage.
They don't want to commit the smite.
They're not going to need to.
He gets the bot crab.
His bot lane stays safe.
They're looking for a play.
And Mkoi's bottom lane are moving up.
Larkin chipped his easy here.
Kazi trying to bait it in.
They know that Lincis is nearby.
And I was wondering, Mkoi just kind of knew this.
Facing there knew they couldn't get punished by a Wukong.
Pre-level six.
And Elioa has to pick up the pieces.
We'll go towards the top side and get that scuttle.
Maybe try and find Nuk-Nuk on the process.
This is genuinely one of my favorite things about pro when things just piece together beautifully like this
You can see the cascading effects of a single decision and so much of this fairly benefit all comes from a human always
Crazy level one play when he takes he he goes bot and the the resulting prior that he gets in bot lane
And the ability for linsus to then make that gank in mid
Put twice out in a good spot now ultimately does this result in any significant major lead anywhere?
No, it doesn't it really doesn't like it. It's really not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things
It's just small things that are going the way of vitality to put them in better positions as we get closer and closer to the mid game
first backs have come through from almost everyone now and
Yeah, right now the biggest thing for mid is yet
You can see that humanoid is still behind and farm but the laning phase is a lot more comfortable because JoJo doesn't have his flash anymore
and the wave as well is pushing against humanoid so let's track where linsus is
level 4 wukong needs to get to 6 stat and try and punish that flash with the
remaining couple of minutes to hack left. Humanoid looking at this wave as
hawkshark thank you observers just spot that linsus and you buy excuse me level
5 now picked up you look for the raptor respawn and I am noticing top lane
Mewin's pushing out that wave but Nukra has a CS lead again look at
where it is, and StrikeHoundStep gets him in the vicinity of KnockKnocko, but I mean, KnockKnocko is again, just slowly building up this advantage.
Yeah, it's nothing too crazy for the time being, as you said, that's it, sure.
Okay, JoJo, you've got the six available. Kaosom comes down, Humanoid, bit deep here, El Yo-Yo, wants to get a vault break,
Korean, but you weren't already out of range. Kaosom, avoided, I believe a cannon whiffles by Humanoid, thanks for the zoning.
Meanwhile, we're getting KnockKnocko on the MegaNar, Mewin, wall avoided.
He was just out of range, but another Q to snipe and knock knock go again.
The thumbs are in the air, because the lane has been hit immediately.
I'll go here now, help me to push out the wave, because JoJo doesn't have a huge amount of mana.
Linz has forced it. Cover mid wave as well.
They want that mid wave pushed, they do not want Humanoid freezing it.
I don't think he really has HP to do much off the back of this anyway.
Backwards boomerang toss by the way, because knock knock is just going to miss it.
Let it go into new one, get a bit of extra chunk as well.
I'm gawking top a little bit once again as you kind of do.
I mean the gap isn't massive.
No it's not, but it will be very easy.
You're about to see it build right now, so what he's going to do is he's going to fast
push top while Mirwin wants to go back to base until then either Cheetah recall himself
or I mean look the TP is going to, yeah exactly, he's got no TP, he has to run back to
like, oh no he's actually freezing it, I think he's going to do a fast push.
This is caught.
Climb.
My apologies with regards to the top lane clients.
He's a knuck knuckle, he's more than happy to just keep the wave where it's at.
It will slowly start to push towards Mewin, as he arrives back into lane.
Small level advantage for knuck knuckle as humanoid.
He's about to wave down.
Very surprising going for the early magic resistance to help him out.
I think moat trades does make a lot of sense this game, not only does the magic
resistance off of value against JoJo but also Seraphine ult, Ashe ult, everything really.
Yeah, just the CC on the side of Koi is quite obnoxious.
Koi though, they're happy to just sit back and scale for now.
Yeah.
This is gonna say that there's a bit of attention towards you, Walechi.
That also feels like everyone in their kit as well from M.Koi has some kind of lockdown.
We're talking about agency from Vitality where they have that solid playmaking potential.
At least for M-Coy, everyone has the playmaking potential in the sense, and they can set up
some of these fights.
We are curious though because we've now hit the level 6 point, jungler's there as well,
dragon untouched, crubs up in 40 seconds, and now that everyone's level 6, we talk
about that agency, the ability to find pick and really change the state of this game
comes earlier than you'd expect, with humanoid stealing away, hijacking the chaos storm,
Jojo, he's got his own, he's going to hold it onto it for now, maybe use it
and pursue the dragon.
Oh, that's really interesting. I just had a quick look at JoJo in-game and he's taken zero points in his W.
Really?
Yeah. With the Soltan impressive, maxing out his damage as early as possible so that he can be stronger in the trades early on.
And inside this, in my mind, you would want to take that W early so that whenever the Soltan starts to get on top of you.
Is he holding onto a point? Or is he allocated at all?
He's level 7, right?
And he's allocated at all?
Yeah, he's allocated at all. He's already placed second point in Q yet.
If they fuck a dragon though, surely he's in eighth.
but I think he's also already gone this first upgrade I think he must have yeah
he's at 11 stacks already so he's got his first upgrade and he shows the max Q
which is also something I saw Cap soon as well so getting the early upgrade he's
done it again level 8 he's put a third point in his Q yeah so now with his
upgraded Q he's gonna trade way more efficiently in lane like it's pretty
interesting
Maybe we should do it with the new team.
I feel like that...
Yeah, I don't know if it matters.
I feel like that Dragon is entirely determined based on who has Bot Prime.
And right now that seems to be Sufa Alvaro.
Linsus, setting up onto Alvaro.
He wants a monkey in, get a nice slight one,
but advised against by the rest of Vitality.
They poke out.
Dragon's still thought about.
Yojo is gonna TP back in.
Humanoid was into the push and started moving down.
Down his neutralise, Arrow avoided,
Conkels still pull on too, here we go Cyclone, onto JoJo and remember, no W means no stun!
He flashes, Humanoid jakes the flash, but still first blood goes over to Vitality.
They'll give up the dragon, but they'll be happy with that first kill.
They would have loved to have given it over to Humanoid, but at the end of the day,
he still gets the gold advantage over his mid lane opponent,
and Linsus getting much closer to that early 20-force.
He knows that the dragon can't be contested after that play,
He'll go for the cross mark, get his team the grubs, Vitality get themselves off the board.
Linsus holding the side of the map means more isolation with the top lane as well, and Vitality 1500 gold in the lead as we look at his game set up again.
So I mean very simple, the slow initially applied by Humanoid connected to Q.
He got both proxies of that Q off which is really valuable, then the knockup from Linsus positions himself in between the tower and Jorja which means that once Jorja actually flashes away there's no where for him to go so he ends up falling.
Nice early kill for Vitality.
Fleshy now making his roam up.
After all said and done, after dragon disappears,
sports start roaming, 80 carries, safe bot.
And Narknarko's getting a bit of attention here,
as Fleshy just drops a ward and heals the face.
So look at that top gap now.
There he is.
Happening again.
Yeah, it goes from a small lead into,
wait a minute, why is there a 20 CS gap between the top lane?
That's just kind of the Narknarko special at this point.
this point I think the recipe is make sure that top is a safe haven like
nut-knuckle truck in the jungle and we're gonna try and actually you as long as
long as you hold it ever look at this it was here yeah they've got vision yeah
like it does often feel that the pathing is towards bots but the vision is
invested top yeah so they give knockout the freedom to do what it is that he
does best why we're glading this day every single game in isolation no real
top laner standing up against me. We're talking about Mewen here, like Mewen has his life split
over split. As that camera goes back towards top, the hype is doing good damage here. He doesn't
even have the Trinity Force yet, but Mewen forced it back away. He's got TP, however.
I feel like Mewen teleport is being used defensively every single time and Dragon's
getting it more and more difficult. Maybe Kanzak will talk to me about the impact
that we have. That's the time to sync up. With the Blies we talk compositionally,
It's going to be the priority, but if he has to leave that lane, he's going to lose a lot
of money.
Yeah, he absolutely is.
I think right now both teams are just quite happy to sit back and farm with no objective
on the map.
There is the overforce, there are bot camps, still insist to clear, he'll prioritize that.
The top crab is probably the next major point of contention.
It's the group.
Yeah, that's kind of it.
early towers could be a possibility but again Koi is happy to scale they know that Victor wants time
they might even look for a gank mate you know I did have scum of duff being he's gonna be flashed
season to sys it and he's flashed not available I thought that's what he's gonna do to set up the
chain jimin item one v two comes in with a king slayer he gets close chain latch avoided
Jojo was one shot now lindsay's gonna take that shot make it a one for one second cyclone in
coming, vault breaker back on in.
Linsus thinks about it, pops it, because he had to.
But with a good return gank and a flash, Linsus saves the play.
But he wants more. He wants to go into the enemy jungle,
he wants to contest for that red buff.
He knows that his top laner has the push,
and even though Mewen's going to come over,
like, what's the consequences of this?
Ah, this is beautiful, because Linsus and Makdaka are working
very nicely together right now without actually interacting.
They're basically saying, Linsus, I can fight this Vi.
She has an item, but I have Trinity Force. We're happy to skirmish. I'll come back to that point in a second as we look back at this.
Humanoid buys a lot of time.
Linsus, look at his position right now. He's where the dragon pit is, but thanks to the W, from Humanoid, he's able to get a bunch of HP back.
Comes really close to getting the kill onto JoJo, but all the way with nice potty blocking.
Meanwhile, Linsus then gets a return kill, and now they know, well, no ults have been traded, no one has anything.
So I'm going to contest. I'm going to go into your jungle. I'm going to force your top laner to come to me, to come and fight me, to challenge.
me and if he does then I'll leave and I'm getting advantage or my top lane is getting
advantage and in this situation it was Naknako he got himself another plate in top I believe
that top tower is now down to two plates as well so yeah Naknako is doing some serious
work up there.
Goal on the move moves to bottom in until Drake.
Gold lead for Viscount is 1.5k.
Continues to be a pretty good story here in the early game and
Linsus might not have Cyclone but it's not that long of a cooldown.
Will be up before this neutral objective or around the same time.
First item also on the board and the only person we're waiting for is Nuck Nucko.
And JoJo as well needs to catch up a little bit here.
We'll have that backfire torch before the fight.
Will MQoy fight it is the biggest question because
They've got everything up and available ready
So far outside of the lane, Fertility obviously all the way
I'm just I'm scared for Koi just because double trainee force is such a powerful spike
Like Mako, I'm gonna have a quick look at how much gold he's sitting on. He must be he's been sitting on that phage tarp
He's sitting on 2100 gold. Oh that dude is he's backing the trainee force. Yeah, he's backing so triple trainee force. Yeah
So not too bad, maybe MQoy gonna respect this
Back here from Mewen for the potential, but again Vitality holds the river out where a little bit low
Plus he gets the poke down on core forward goes Kali the arrow into the edge early poke down
But not dead yet meanwhile lancis gets another good against your corners in the end throw and lancis on the three pitiful
dangerous who kong is now joining in the true shot large the poke human one has been channel Chris Lara
He hits it on a vibe running away chain lush with the zone and em koi has to get sent packing as
as Vitality's comp only knows how to go in.
My goodness, Vitality find another kill.
Nagnako, TP's the bot lane.
He might have a solo kill here.
No Megan Arbor, the auto attack should be enough.
Cal's Sommons down.
No gravity build, Betty.
I don't know if he's leveled enough yet,
but he won't save his life.
Flushing away the house.
Everything that kite pack.
JoJo's alive and skillfully done.
My goodness, JoJo played at the very edge there
to get away to safety.
He'll trade flashes with Nagnako,
and he'll call that a worthwhile exchange.
Knuck-knuck-o gets the trendy force on base, the triple drive force spy comes through, but Vitality, they don't even set up around the dragon, they attack Koi in the middle lane.
They try and use the opportunity that they have to attack Koi in the setup, and they make it work, dragon secured to them, the gold lead continues to get bigger.
Where has this Vitality team been?
They're here.
Because this team is unbelievable with how dominant they appear in the early game.
I mean Betty, I feel like we've seen this a couple of times and then we just get the variants we get
True, right.
Strange drafts, we get strange games.
Very strange drafts.
Vitality can be the best and the worst.
I mean it's just, but again when we see this team we're like wait are these guys the best in the LEC or like are they up with you?
You know, and we genuinely believe it because of players like this because of games like this
where Harold now I'm gonna be taken down and still the topside holds the
gold in on the screen but I tell you now the tools to start breaking down mid
opening up the map and they have been in control for a large portion of this game
despite it only being a small gold lead it does feel like the plays are still
revolving around them.
Where is this Harold gonna go? I feel like mid lane kind of makes the most sense.
Yep, well this looks to be the first tower the game going to Koi
That'd be a huge boom for them, but a nice gold injection onto their two solo laners
Roger he is sitting at 0-2 into the score, but this victory isn't really behind
All of this is coming in flash Cyclone again, Alvaro caught out, oh I've got misters, it goes the wrong way
Alvaro trying to save his life cards, he picks up a kill and the speed begins again
and Linsus used in the Cyclone and the Herald.
Mewen comes up for a play.
Vitality and group distance.
Is there a play here though?
There's a small charge.
El Yoye thinks so.
Vault breaker in Mewen with the public execution
gonna hold off and run away instead.
But Mewen being up here,
then he got more worried because bot is open.
Havin Raptors are also alive.
Take that as well, smite Yoye.
Linsus takes it away from El Yoye.
One played at the very least.
Nark Narko has three grubs.
So anyone's gonna try and stop this. He will but that block tower is a blizzard
Well
so
Yeah, I do feel the koi is trying their best to play to the beat of vitality's drum
And they cannot keep up bro. They just cannot keep up. Yeah, like this this beat is getting faster and faster and
Vitality there. They're just having a whale of a time. Here comes humanoid zooming in to control wards
Nielsen against the wall he wanted to back there he's in public execution far
from the dry gas deputy stun hit away from him he's got a dust chain like
slow as well and even got a mini up probably in the execution field miss
says there but Heliouya vault breaks in and he didn't hit a target that turret
about to die as well. There's no two for one was close Nielsen gets hit
Heliouya flashes but Vitality are so in tune on this map that you said
Oh my goodness, that was crazy!
The damage was so close!
And it's happening again by touting and making the TV play on to Joe Geppi and Betty.
Tell me, does the FBW available?
I haven't seen this game just yet.
He gets the shield, finally gets to grab the world down.
The Stunner's going to help out Joe Geppi and his Calf Storm.
On the lenses, side-close.
He's dying breath. Maybe it's right against it.
Joe Geppi, we won!
Let's shut down.
As you're going to see the Kingslayer, take care to respond.
Ceasing assist, the fight continues.
Ceasing to assist the fight and continues on the card, another shut down by Talonny.
You love him and you hate him, then Jadakr's the arrow.
Wonder humanoid misses.
He steps up, the arrow goes through, but Amkoi got two big shutdowns,
and the game again comes into question.
The brawl just doesn't stop, and here's another fight.
Over the wall, Abrams is getting an auto down in half each.
Be ready for knock knock of the hot daddy on call.
Buffed by his stun, and how's the hot?
He tries to predict as the now goes into the wall.
Natsuna with the order to death though and Super gets to kill for M.Koi.
Another opportunity that's gone over the wall with the volley to slow.
Mewen's on the way. Mewen's on the way.
With no ulti, he won't matter because he's already found the humanoid.
Try and get out through this river. Fleshy has to flash away.
As humanoid is dead and M.Koi got four kills from that very long play.
This is vitality in a nutshell that Egan is to force fights and backfiring
as JoJo starts it with an outplay of his own.
Getting the trade in top lane, four lances, gives him a nice gold injection.
But the fight just keeps on going.
Koif, I pick off to pick.
They quickly turn the momentum in their favor
and now the skirmish is going their way.
This play from Vitality, it took too long.
JoJo buys a lot of time, the gravity field mitigating a lot of the damage
the humanoid wants to dish out.
Jojo gets that first kill, Xubinoh trades it back.
Karzy is now top lane!
Why he's on the crux? I don't know!
But Koi is there ready and waiting.
Mewin and El Yoya join the fray.
It turns into this crazy skirmish.
And then Nacko, he overcooks.
He overcooks.
The flash is already used.
He's expecting the flash to come out,
but it's already gone.
And then he ends up falling short.
Nacko loses his life.
And now we have an even game. Yeah 500 gold for Vitality Shaw, but second dragon for Mkoi,
or second of their game, and a mountain soul giving souls to tank up this composition.
I mean for Mkoi, Betty, you've got to say this feels very winnable now.
Oh, absolutely it does. I think Koi is very much back in the game.
Items is what we need to keep track of, and you can see that two have been finished for JoJo.
He's in a fantastic spot. Relative to humanoid, the gold only looks like 400 difference,
but this Victor is really going to start hurting, and we'll see it right now.
JoJo care of Storm is down. Humanoid has wanted his own. Storm for Storm,
but the chase-up looks better for JoJo here. Another raid will just poke out, but
half HP, humanoid gets away. You're right, JoJo has a lot more to say in this game now.
from warmth was the early game that got absolutely bullied so now we just have to ask ourselves
what are we waiting for baby baron next dragon how does this fight progress for mcoy yeah i mean
the game will just slow down a lot because there's not really out of town to play for anymore
poids want to secure mid but it's not easy because carzian flash you're just gonna sit
there all game they need to they just won't be converted until later into the game so it's
It's just a lot of farming and fishing for picks.
Ashira is the thing that Vitality have to be the most afraid of.
When clearing out vision, the ability of Super to just connect that arrow to anyone
and find a quick kill, resulting in a potential Baron.
There's something that you've always got to be cautious of.
Miwa on the side lane, both Meirin and Nakmako are just going to keep trading.
You can see two items have finished for Meirin, so he's definitely not weak anymore.
And he's more than happy to fight against the Nark.
Karzy though is going to be the real problem for Koi is the Q-Lands, Q-Lands, yeah that poke is very annoying.
I mean there is sustain from Alvaro so it feels like they're able to deal with it a little bit tenner, but regardless, why don't I trust you when you say the game is going to slow down?
Even though there's nothing to fight over, I mean by telling people we're going to fight over the Baron.
I think Baron is way too risky to say the honest of the game, like Kuma doesn't even have a second eye to finish.
Who are you talking to? That's true.
Yeah, but I don't think they're idiots like I think they're violence. I don't think they're dumb
But
If they care the biggest question is can they find something on the me when there's em
Coi the top laner it's been bullied a lot this game
He's still gonna reach shout out to me when who you know was down 20 30 CS. He's still there
But he has been able to keep an arms length and getting a kill does help that also helps
Also looking at the minimap. You can see how the flow right now is moving their vision towards the bottom side of the map
The main motivation behind this is to help protect JoJo and the land to push slightly past the river
And if you look at the minimap as well, he's doing that right now. The bottom of the screen is getting that push
He feels safe in order to get that push just because he does have this vision available too
But now, Zinsus, this is his response as he looks to shadow the bottom lane.
humanoid wants to train Jojo's interest.
And with the TP they're going to do that.
Jojo very interested in getting out of the play maybe with the rest of Encoyer coming in.
Season to Season onto Nuk Nukko doesn't reach out.
He doesn't have his Meganar bar though and that's dangerous.
Nuk Nukko hops away trying to buy some time, slowed down, flushes away there at the hour.
Meganar no, not in time.
Great TC chain from Encoy as they land everything to get killed number one of 5 vs 4.
And Valen being thought about here, it's vitality to try to poke them down.
Yeah, an excellent sequence by Koi.
As Vitality is trying to go Jojo into a fight,
because of their good vision control,
they have a way, an easy response to the aggression from Vitality,
who just kept fishing for a fight.
Not going into dropping.
Neyland's given access to the ballway, he's going to push that one out,
and then Koi gets better position around the dragon.
The good news for Vitality is Koi can't really convert this into much,
but another kill secured for them.
Jojo a little bit more accelerated.
for himself providing more safety. And look how he just continues to build the sleeve 1k.
Now the individual advantage just goes to show how good he is that even when he's
even though he's put behind once the game stabilised he's very good at managing his
farm sticking on sidelines and finding ways to be relevant. You know I mean again
like JoJo game one was a bit of a rough start we even saw it then on the easy
year. He got perma gang. He got perma gang but he was still kind of relevant and
M-Coy's attempt to get back into the game. This time around, ever so relevant.
We're about the time buying tools of the Seeker's Armguard. I'm also noticing that
the full zone is being completely humanoid, so important to look at that in the fight.
Nuck-Nucko has a return bow, so we're gonna be a side lane threat here but
Vitality and Teleporting. We are going to fight this dragon. They want to
contest the Strew Shopperage tags through Nuck-Nucko with a Mega-Nar
but no flash he burned it trying to escape so the mega now has to be I guess
unpredictable as he tries to leave it
I'm gonna be started off by that very close to full rage and there it is now
if I tell you once you use this window they want to fight dead ones with
pressure quite happen to disengage he's the ash to slow you're gonna do just
that poke you need to come through
It's humanoid. What does he steal? He steals the encore.
So he has a good line for the ult in the river.
Meganar is going to run down.
So now no Meganar for the fight.
Mkoi now move forward. They're confident.
No engage against them. Gravity fills down.
Here one goes from the right.
Meanwhile, Lister tries to jump in, but the jungle is now dead.
Mkoi used first one. Mkoi is their dragon.
It's their rules. It's their fight.
It's season to season. Lines, Kazi.
He tries to run away. Vitality are wiped.
the knock knocker will shed the blood from his wounds as the rest of Emcoy head towards the Baron.
Excellent patience from Coy. Beautifully played, the target selection was good,
and they just made it so difficult for Vitality to find the fight that they wanted.
They'll get the dragon and they will secure the Baron as well.
It's a really nice ulti from Q-1, but the gravity field puts pressure on that knocker.
because they wait for the Mega Nade 4, the moment that the Wukong goes in, he's immediately shut down.
Once they get the Baron, they turn their attention on the Humanoid,
Flashy gets shut out as well,
and then it turns into a scrap with which Koi walk away the Victix.
What a recovery game, would it?
I mean, time's up to play from JoJo again.
He's just picked up another turret in the solo lane.
2.5k gold.
And remember, at the start of this game, Vitality was off to a very good start.
They had the gold lead, but then they just tried to pick one too many fights,
and it is that aggression that ended up backfiring.
Once Koi was able to get a foothold in the game, they've come back with a vengeance,
and now they are in complete control.
They're looking to bring us to game three, quite absolutely dominating right now,
and it feels like that they just have too much damage to deal with.
Suka is not really concerned about anything, as with the Infinity Edge finish, his damage is going to be monstrous.
Living in this large an hour, maybe they can go for a dive to a mid, Enkoi, waiting for the next wave with this baron bomb.
And humanoid's going to stay in top lane, they know that mid's probably just gone near for the end of the turret.
But Enkoi continued to regain confidence here in the second game.
And you like Suka really hasn't been hit that hard this game.
I mean the power of Seraphine, the power of Scaly
Even if they use everything on super, I'm then worried that JoJo would just
Win the rest of the fight. There's so many damage threats
I think Zonders is so good at this, this comp as well
I think that there's so few things he has to be worried about
And I just uh, the thing, like, I'm just of the opinion that Silas just doesn't do a lot of damage
I mean that it, as the game goes on I guess
She and I had landed a 5-man ulti with Encore, and it just didn't result in anything, the support mission is now as long as Linsus is dead.
Yeah, face check, double down, Linsus slowed, really nice layering, it's okay, Linsus is not dead, turns out as El Yoyoya looks to the chase and...
That side step on the arrow was disgusting.
That was pretty good, but also a lot of mints on the way out as Envoy, don't get killed, but they do get a lot of pressure here, moving into enemy jungles El Yoyoya.
Knocked Nuggets just gonna take Krugs away from me.
Nice, I'd say that's a super, are they going to try and dive Nukko, I don't think it's worth it.
Alright, let's see, Vault Break is coming for Vikk the Honk, oh and Nuk Nukko's staying still, he's going to kite back.
Lyo is now deep, the damage is pretty good here from Nuk Nukko, but I don't really have to dissuade them from taking the inner turret.
And I'm going to still get a little bit out of this play.
We're acting in two people top, make sure Qnoy can't get too much either.
He gets a bit of plating himself, but in a terrible set-danger.
While we work for a minute forty, Dragon's Soul is next on the menu.
Encoy, that's going to be their goal, to try and tie this game up in a neat little
bow, move us to three.
Mountain Soul against the Silas.
We talk about first.
He's a rat not doing damage.
A Mountain Soul is a good way to make sure-
Yeah, what happened to any damage?
Absolutely, yeah.
They'd absolutely would.
Super and JoJo with monstrous leads over their counterpart.
The Xoptix being finished for Super.
Extra bit of range is going to be very nice for him.
Level 16's completed for a number of players.
There's 19 now hit for Mewin.
He is very much a threat.
In terms of minimization, he's got both top ones, but she's still very even.
I guess shouldn't come as a surprise given how small the gold gap is.
But yeah, quite.
They're just going to take their time, they're going to wipe to the soul, they know that Vitality have to come and fight, and this will be Vitality's real last opportunity.
They need to find a good pick.
Humanoid hasn't finished his third item yet, whereas Giorgio are already working on his fourth.
Yeah, I just feel like that Vitality just lack the damage that they need in order to win out on a fight.
Who needs to die, Super?
Super needs to die, but...
Or is it Giorgio?
The idea of everyone on Koi, if you're a Vitality man.
You got to kill the enemy team.
That was some good analysis.
Thank you, Betty.
Yeah, OK.
Yeah, but I mean, it's really hard because I think the front line
is actually the biggest problem because of how much chaos
they're causing the fight.
Like, Kazi's just stuck dealing with Mewin,
and I don't think there's much you can do about it.
So it almost becomes a race between which
AD carry dies first, and then there's
another fight that happens afterwards,
where both AD carries are dead.
Who has what resources left?
You're looking for a pick.
As you said, Envoy can't really
do a foot-long here.
It feels like you're going to try
and do some damage down on Eoi while the push-up in topside,
Naka Naka gets a turret.
It's nice bit of gold, but will it be useful for the fight?
The pickaxe now, with the wit's end,
it's gonna be jumping in soon, but as he teleports in,
he's Megan Arba half the way down.
He needs to go in, bridge that, new and seasoned,
Zones in through chopperage is good damage,
JoJo runs in confidently.
Megan Arba is the one man Naka Naka was running at anyway,
so he's gonna take the 1v1,
while the rest of the fall before happens in River.
This is insane, isn't it?
He is doing good damage,
The rest of emgoi are taking him by Talon, he gets a good pick and already Karate is dead
Nako has to hop on out and emgoi they know they win the long con
Chozo is running at the long, Himalaya's got nowhere left to go
and down the fight will go again, surprise surprise
Now Nako's the only one alive
It was looking promising for Vitality but then El Yoye just said, nope I'm done
Kills the bottom lane into 2 vs 1
Great poke came through from Super and Alvaro the CC does connect and we've only not not go left standing
Emcoy will bring us to a game three
We're going to a sixth game day for our final day of week two of the LEC and emcoy never say die attitude is great to see
Recovery in this game even better and vitality have been tested a step too far forward in the face of emcoy
There's a step too far in general here in the LEC is
We go to game three and M-Coy are going to show us if they can close it out.
I mean I did say you can't afford to be a game one and against a team like Coy.
They've fallen short before but their ability to bounce back there.
They have strong mental resilience and a really nice bounce back from Jodor in particular.
He was really targeted, he fell behind early but his farm on the side lanes has impact in the game.
You could really feel it on the victor.
You could, I mean because that was humanoid as well.
That level one, we talked about it for a while, the game felt like it was kind of rolling towards a done early momentum.
You know what I'm saying, Desco? My words are running out for me. Good game, too.
All the words. All of the words here. Yes, I agree on that.
I'm happy that we're getting three games here and I'm happy to see that MCoy was able to not only bounce back from game one,
but also find the good opportunities to come back from that game.
Yeah, because it did not look good to start things off like there was a ton of pressure going mid lane
You had vitality really getting off the races
And then they did a good job pushing the missile lanes is the like
positive
mental attitude
Looked at this game to I felt like a repeat of game one right it wasn't as hard of a stomp like in top lane
Maybe we didn't get solo killed, but it was still losing plates and losing a lot of farm
But I mean you can see the gold lead like the vitality gold lead wasn't that big but it was like 3k and
They were kind of like slowly suffocating them out and then everything kind of just went bonanza
And it's kind of funny because I felt like their throw was really like that's like an emcoy throw
You know what I mean?
It's like Carcy's like playing two over confidence
So he gets caught out and then they all get ran down because of it and Linz is well getting a little bit too cocky
Let's take it or get it.
You see it here.
It's like, Humanoid is missing the ease, which I may choose.
I may choose.
And he's missing a lot of the spells,
while JoJo is landing all of his so he can take out Linsen,
which wouldn't be too big of a deal if it's just a one for one.
But Carsey ead over to the Krugs with no vision.
And it's just like, oh, wait, there's an Ambessa
and Vi in my face.
And then McNaco wants to go for the 1B2 here.
It doesn't realize that Flashy Wilds,
No, that Alvar, I mean, flashed away from him.
That's insane.
He tries to predict the flash, and then he gets through it and dies, and then he comes
afterward.
He's like, well, surfing did not flash, I guess, or something.
How do you see her flash in front of you, and then go, nah.
Yeah, no, it's fine.
She can do it again.
Yeah, she's got two of them.
It's NA.
She's our client.
She got the augments.
Love it.
It takes the resilience from Mkoe to be able to pick up on those throws, though, and just
find the good opportunities for them.
Yeah, I think credits to Mkoe is like, we saw these throws, and what often happens is like,
okay, one team throws, and then suddenly it's equal, and it's like teamfight, teamfight,
very close, but it kind of, after Mkoe got the gold equalized, it was Mkoe all the
way.
They got every single dragon after that point, they could set up for the Nash, they
had full control of the game, also need their comp, like, I'm not fully solo
on the Silas, I think they kind of lacked the true damage and JoJo was just pumping the
down.
That's the guy for me.
I think JoJo was the hero here.
He absorbed so much pressure in the early stages, a single kill only given across to
like four, five, six different ganks and then we still have to find that in a 2v1 play
on the side lane that really started that snowball out of control, like really like
credit to this man.
He absorbed everything and more to make sure that there was still some window back
into this game.
We're phrasing his landing phase and what a monster he's been so far in the LEC, finding
the solo kills and everything, but it's been a story of coming back for JoJo, especially
this game.
And the madness continues, we'll have one more game to have fun here and wrap up this
second week of LEC Spring, we'll be back soon.
Brother, brother, let me try.
Wait, brother, let us break this.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Wait, brother, let us break this instead, brother.
Have a break.
Have a KitKat.
What is this, Brother Earth?
Perfection.
I
Red Bull gives you wings
I want to see an enemy jungler playing tanks in the basketball now.
Welcome back to LEC for the closing game of Week 2 Spring! Yes, I'm losing everything here.
Three games, it's been crazy so far, and it's about to get even crazier.
You see that amazing swain from the Afro Falls skin line of this year.
So we have the swain buckets here with us.
The legally distinct fried chicken king swain.
Absolutely. For Colonel Swain. We're going to call him.
We have some champions here because we know that both of these teams like to play wakie champions
and it's fearless drafts, it's game 3, it's the last game of the week so I'm gonna draw them randomly
and you're gonna tell me how likely it is to see them.
I don't know if it's just champions in there.
I don't know if we want to see them, it's just a distinction.
Both.
Both, I don't know.
Okay, first one.
I think not likely, but I...
They are from champions that players have been playing in solo queue, by the way.
Who's playing them Mirvian has been playing Vex. Oh, I was like Jojo playing Vex
I can't see it. I'm like, I don't know like maybe if you like shirty into a messa that has
been put into a messa but that's already out in the best is gone. Yeah, yeah. No, we have the
jealous bands here if you guys want. I don't know what you'd pick it into at this point. I
think I'm best as like the prime time one because you're the passive so much. So I'm
I'm gonna say no
Yeah
I could see that
I mean he played her he's played a display doesn't he or is that just in versus either way?
Yeah, he got the five man. Yeah, that was oh, yeah playoffs
He can go and we know that when he wants to put on the carry bands usually
Yeah, exactly. Okay, we're gonna put the key over here. I think he has at least one leg of those pants in this area.
Next one.
Yasuo. Okay, so this one is actually interesting because it could be both Karzy,
Botlane, and we know that Nak Nako likes this. If I see my Pally look in Yasuo, and then it goes to Karzy and Botlane,
I want to lose. I'm gonna be so mad.
The thing is, Narinako is like, I don't know. Has he had a really good Yasuo? I feel like every time he goes Yasuo,
It's a 50-50. I think literally a 50-50 is it though
I think he's always input on it like I have this idea of his yasso being really good from solo queue
And I played with it, and then he always in it's an hour is what I think of itself
Yeah, we're about to eat good guys. That's the only thing we know here closing starts before I'm tossing two casters
What is the expectation for game three given what we've seen so far?
Badlum mayhem craziness. What do you like nothing in the series has been easier to make sense
Yeah, nuts. I think about Tali when I don't know. I feel like they just need to not throw
And they got this
Edo
Have fun, and yeah, hopefully we see some of those champions guesters. What do you think actually? I think I'm hungry
I didn't I didn't get second dinner. I would love some fried chicken production if we could get some fried chicken
That'd be sick. Can we get fried chicken? Can we get the swain?
That what are we calling him again?
Hey
We can't call him quick or Colonel Swain quick all that or is that too cool?
I mean I don't know what rank he is in Demacia, so sure why not.
Colonel Swain Fried Chicken please.
That's one of the things that are right open to stand up outside of like an MSI or a world.
And then yeah, actually MSI is coming up.
Okay.
And when's MSI May?
I don't know.
June, I think it's in June.
I think, yeah, something like that.
Okay, let's hold on to this idea.
And then let's bring it out.
How about you hold on to the idea?
I will.
I will instead focus on the series at hand.
I will. Once we get the chicken, I'll help you out there.
I- okay. I'm down on the chicken.
Okay.
We're going to jump into draft game three.
You heard the desk talk about how they want to see Vitality not throw.
I want to see if Koi have a stronger early game.
I feel like that, like, Elioya has been a little bit quiet in some of these early skirmishes.
It's not that he hasn't been present.
He has been there, ready to counter-gank where he can,
and he has been covering Jojo to the best of his ability.
But I guess the biggest difference has just been Fleshy's impact as well.
In contrast to Alvaro and his support of JoJo in the middle lane,
perhaps they need to put Alvaro more on a melee support for game 3.
Put him on something he's a little bit more comfortable on with.
Lulu, Nami, Karma, Seraphine all gone.
Perhaps melee is the way to go.
I also think there's a side note, if it's not melee, Niko facilitates the A.
Yeah, she's fallen off a cliff recently, hasn't she?
She has, but Alvaro's Niko is so good.
So, I mean, yeah, that is a point.
Let's see, what are their prioritized support
while Bard is gonna do one of the first picks
taking off Aurora as well.
When Rumble hasn't been picked,
maybe MQA is saying we go Rumble first pick here
as Aurora is a good option and put in top lane.
Let's see, let's see, let's see.
Zoe ban?
Oh, I guess they're worried about humanoid game three.
Yeah.
Normal how I think are they thinking about doing syndra, but I don't think so. I think that's more just generic
We don't want him playing Zoe game through rather than something specific that they have in mind
What can you pull out of here as a priority pitch like what is worth first picking here as Niko does it's rumble
It's probably rumble, right? Yeah, should be surprisingly in bad a way because I am coy and they knock my glass out of something for it
If you go Jarvan here, you lose Rumble, right?
I mean, Rumble into Jarvan, people would be like, he's a good in my ball, but...
I mean, Namako should just lock in Rumble here himself.
It's too good of a combo.
Oh, but the Caitlyn from Karzy.
I mean, the Caitlyn barbs was...
They've literally 2v2 killed every time they played it.
It's only twice, I will admit, but with the barred gone, I wonder what they'll
pair alongside it.
Is it the Niko for Flushing?
Well, Niko's already back.
So if I tell everyone, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
That's why it's confusing, it's just confusing.
It just means that it's finally getting Caitlyn Blitzcrank.
Finally, after all this time.
I'm glad we got rid of the confusion.
They're gonna lock in H-Rumble.
So Rumble is just gone.
So we're giving the Hotpot combo to Koi.
Do they have a response?
I mean they have to, right?
Because if they don't, the Hotpot's gonna cook.
I'm worried because Vitality are renowned for sometimes throwing the draft a bit off the cliff.
Especially in game three
As the series goes on the draft becomes a little bit more fun
What's more fun than a hotpot I
Don't have an answer to that question
What's I mean, yeah, you can do kind of whatever you want
They need to think of a good ADC our forest is open
Yeah, just a Varus. It's fine.
Where they got Varus from the Jarvan.
Oh my goodness.
Angoy got some good picks.
We're game three and they got Varus from the Jarvan.
That's hilarious.
Okay.
Vitality.
Don't just pick like a Nordloss or something here.
I mean, you might have to.
I mean, it...
Ornn is the...
That's the answer.
Knock-knock-o?
I was really hoping that he had some sort of special solo queue pick, you know?
But alright, we're going on, so we're doing front to back for Vitality.
I mean, I don't hate on into like, virus.
And technically, on's E can break Jarvan's wall.
That's all I've got.
There's a lot of butts coming.
Now, let's see how this develops, you know?
You know? Give them the fair shake. Let's see how it develops.
Nautilus is going to disappear.
It's an engage option for M.Coy because it, as you said, it's kind of what it comes down to.
But we are left with like the Recaz...
Is it Renata?
The Renata's your right.
But you mean Renata from Vitality?
I think Vitality might be thinking Renata.
It depends, because they're probably expecting Koy to go brawn.
What do you think about that?
Alvra would happily slam a brawn free.
What do you think about a pike?
Yeah, look, look, look, look, look.
We can't ban, that's for sure brawn. There has to be.
Koi is for sure thinking about the brawn.
So they're banned brawn and then...
No, no, no, they don't ban brawn. They want them to have the brawn.
I mean, I don't agree, maybe. Their logic is either we ban the brawn?
I don't agree, maybe.
I don't... I think that they might be trying to bait the brawn.
So they're like, oh, we'll give them...
You really don't think my answer of talking about pike is going to become relevant?
I don't think so.
Okay, just ask.
They left the brawn open. They want Koi to pick the brawn.
Or maybe they picked the brawn.
This is the thing. Me explaining their logic does not mean that I agree with their logic.
But by doubting it, you can just go brawl.
They could, but I don't know if I agree with that.
Caitlyn brawl is such a...
It's a lane, sure.
Like, why are you picking Caitlyn if you're just going to put it with brawl?
That doesn't make any sense.
At this point, we're just going to patch up the wound, you know?
There's...
Ooh, that was a good ban.
Why?
Because, you know, it's good already in solo, and I think that when the game is all about late game team fights,
Serenian Soldier just fits into that category very comfortably.
What's wrong?
What the hell are we picking?
Ron?
No.
No.
Lane pick.
They're picking mid.
I think.
I didn't think they'd pick support.
But you're not going to give Brom against an Orna.
Dude, do your Sandra.
No, I'm kidding.
Don't do the Sandra.
But you're not giving Brom away, surely.
Okay, okay.
They're going to lock that.
I already thought they were going to overcook here.
But we knew it was Brom, bro.
I got to go.
don't think they're both a cop we've we've we called I did why would you fancy it like I thought
that some clever renata player where they were like haha you fell into our trap I play renata
alistar instead we picked alistar knowing that they were going to go brawl I don't like they picked
brawl into our alistar or that doesn't make any sense oh and mel is open I completely forgot
about this job and now what I feel like koi have just smashed the trap I have completely
What are you running the bell? What do we have? What is there?
You can't pick Ari. I swear to God if we get an Ari, I'm just taking off the headset
Walk it away. I feel like is it a lasandra? I
Would that would that win the drill would that recover the draw? Oh, I don't think so
Okay long range mage, I mean it's fine, but you can you can rebuttal Huay's alt
can and it's very I think now is so good here I forget this shunt exists all the
time problem is good here you can rebuttal on salt I remember BB talking
about this at first stand we was basically saying me and now it was I
think it was team secrets midlaner he was like we were having a face off
yeah because it was a question of maybe I forget which game it was I'm sorry
at home but my point was he was like I didn't want to press alt and now
didn't want to press rebuttal so we're just staring at each other waiting for the other person to press their button
Yeah, and that's why my own also has came out so late in the team fights because I was literally waiting for mel to use
But the other problem is if it's not rebuttal then from boxing. Yes, so now I genuinely so they gave away
Rumble Jarvan, right?
their solution to rumble Jarvan was
Caitlin on and
then
You get virus as an answer into Caitlyn and then they sit there. They we all know it's brawn
We know it's wrong. He knew it was brawn. It's like what instead of banning brawn that they blind Alice
Yeah, I don't know I'm a big confuzzle
It's just it's almost like a it's a vitality class. It's a vitality classic
Can vitality win with it? I mean I kind of want to check check in I'm sort of like am I the one who's wrong?
Like, is it I that don't see anything?
I need a second opinion.
Analystess, mic up.
Yeah, I need Jack to just come in and sit there and tell me.
Draft good or draft bad? What do we think?
Chat, you at home can vote.
I mean, Jack can hear me.
Jack, just walk over. Do it right now.
Or Jack, give us a thumbs up, Jack.
Or write in the chat.
Do one of them.
Yeah, you can write in the chat.
Yeah, write in the chat.
Chat, what do we think?
Yeah, who won the draft?
But that's Jack!
Jack can tell us who won the draft.
Here we go. Let's wait and see.
It's coming up shortly.
The problem is you'll get both answers and Jollyman will pick both.
Jollyman will say let's go, I tell you.
No, Jollyman will just say yes.
That'll be it. Okay, we'll wait and see.
There is going to be a problem in bot, right?
Because where's the lane presence with all the stuff?
M-Coy-Po-Comp is going to hurt Holy.
I mean brah, yeah that's fair, yep yep yep
A little bit deeper than that, W Jollyman
Parrying Quayult is gonna feel so good
Okay so, we're getting a couple people aligned with our way of thinking
Yeah, it's fun, it comes jack
Jack, thumbs up, thumbs down, what we think of Jack
He's talking without the mic
He's gonna have to mic up
You can just say it to us, or you can put the headset on
There's a headset right there
Yeah, yeah, Jack's logging in
Hello sir
Yeah
Yeah, I think this is a piece of shit like mad at myself.
Okay, okay, yeah, that's the way it is.
Thanks so much, bro.
I also just like, you had the best player and I've not gone on a walk.
Wasn't bro super obvious? Please talk like...
I mean, bro was so good, yeah.
And it asked.
But why are we climbing Alistar?
I don't know, bro. I don't know.
That's the best player anymore, bro.
That's the best player in here.
Okay, thanks, Jack.
Thank you, Jack.
Thanks, bro.
Lovely Monday night, man.
Yeah, all right. All right, so now that we've all agreed that we don't love vitality draft
So let's see what we can move on like you move on and tell other facts
All right, lenses right now is hovering bots
Vitality are they missed the
Little pill type of peacemaker from Cardi, but Lisa's a good position in front of changing for the knock up
But our flashes away
He wasn't gonna get pulled back in but at least the gank from like teller. He is given us something to work with yeah
So we find ourselves in a pretty interesting situation
where
Yeah, okay, that's what happened so because we were yapping so much of your actually path to know where we started blue stole rafters
Oh, yeah
And then he went back into this hop side
He literally just walked over stole the rafters that went back to do his own camps and then he started pathing bot
Which is why it lintz has ended up bot side of the map a little bit faster
He skipped his own blue which he's now doing but then got the pot crab instead. So the pathing is gonna be a little bit awkward
But he is up like a camp, you know, me more JoJo is kind of smurfing the mid-day matchup right now
doesn't really seem to match up much because way we still can tell you right now now just wins the
poke war yep you go down as like 10 seconds at level one no under level one there's soul snare
right in follow your wedding shield comes out humanoid she's gonna be a little bit wary
because Elioi is once again camping the respawn yeah I'm gonna say that because it must have
could be in a bit of trouble with the fight with the power of Romm
the hail of arrows on the fleshing gets healed out of there
piercing arrow
excuse me goes into Karzy while Elioya is waiting
flag and drag on Delinces the 1v1 begins but for the control ward Elioya will win
okay so we saw a couple things number one Elioya why does he continue to contest these jungle camps
Rommel gets push and now they want to contest even more
Naka is going to facecheck here me and Wynn just burns him alive
And now he's in diving range, Oyo's gonna look for lenses and try to do his drugs, but smite steal away.
And Oyo is running the jungler's lenses just as the back off.
This also allows for JoJo to just keep pushing in mid and look at that mid cap that's already started to build.
Plus she goes in. I think it's CC'd this time around.
It is every late.
Yeah, I mean, Koi is absolutely stopping everywhere right now.
Oh dear.
Oh my god, hang on, Karzy close. One more auto and he would be dead.
Katelyn Mara is I'm waiting for plate number one gets close to getting taken by super but
Yeah, Katelyn is losing lane. Not a good start. Yeah, Katelyn is losing lane
Shocking
Yeah, am I in my house something to do the fact that there is an Alster it will go on that could be
We even got a beautiful example of when fleshy went in immediately had brawn passable fly and then had to heal out
Because they almost died
I mean here in support or combat Alvaro, I think he wins it with winters by doing a pretty good job
Phase rush it's not safety. It's a face rush tech here makes everything better
Well, but the Koi
I know it's only five minutes in but that gold feed is a pretty nice position for them to be in
Here we go, Linsus, Fannin' and Alvaro
Overward, overward didn't go, the pixel brush Alvaro is trying to bait it in
But Lens is by himself for now, the unbreakable up, never mind.
Karzy gets him from behind.
Hail of arrows on the fleshy, trying to get the first kill super
with lethal tempo.
Hail of arrows on the Lens is running for his life,
he gets flashed, chewed by Oyo-yo.
Now Karzy's next to go as JoJo's made the roam down.
What will he need to get the kill?
Not much here.
As the radiant foley out, might miss,
but a passive solo snare.
JoJo with a kill, three to one.
And just as by Talon to get first blood,
it snapped back with a triple.
Linsus walks straight over a ward, Mkoino, exactly what's happening.
And even though they do get this first kill onto Braum in the extended fight,
it just goes the way of Mkoi.
Vitality. I mean, the trap placement looks good,
but really the arrival of JoJo is one of the biggest things.
Super is completely untouched in the fight.
He pops the ghost to help close their gap.
Kazi does a bit of tech, where he does the E-intercued
to try and snipe out the Jarvan, but Jarvan's already disengaged.
And they even hand the kill over to JoJo
Please, please super.
Yeah, he wanted to kill because of that roam, if he didn't get anything could have hurt him, but it didn't hurt him at all.
It actually ended up being very beneficial.
1500 gold lead.
Chojo isn't able to re-fottle for the play-off.
And it does a little bit of damage and that's good, but what we need to look at is the fact that gold is burning a bit.
And after that play, super good a kill, Elioia further on the board, and it does feel like First Dragon should be theirs.
So, vitality, they're gonna get busy. That's why play she's starting to remember on the map trying to find a play.
Sol's now on the JoJo, and...
She's gonna rebuttal, I think send her back, yep, as Lysus looks for an invite.
Oh man, this is hell. No, let's just...
Oh my god.
Like I completely forget she exists and then someone picks and I'm like wow this champ is strong.
Yep.
Like she uh, yeah her poke is annoying.
I mean I don't think you can just blind pick her into any match ups.
I think she really struggles into assassins for example.
Well I'm not, we saw no idea.
Okay I think in general Zed is quite good into her even if there was some data to suggest otherwise.
That was a horrid game, yep.
Yeah.
But the, I think in general assassins do well into her, but like in a game 3 where the pool is quite limited
And you've already got a good comp.
Like the chances of you guys picking a Carly here were very low.
It really made no sense in the context of the comp.
So, yeah, I, um...
God, I genuinely feel like the camp is already over.
Oh my God.
And people at home like, don't get us wrong.
Like, the comp, it's a bit of gringe.
And, you know, people might be arguing and being like,
look, we can see ways around it.
Well, at the end of the day, Hans is what matters the most.
Yeah, of course it does.
If you can outplay...
That has nothing to do with POP.
Right.
You're right.
But the POP means if you start to fall behind on an already weaker comp, it just aggravates.
Alright, it makes it a lot harder, yeah.
Akoi is now in such a fantastic position.
They're going to keep building their lead because of how the lane phase is going.
But here we are.
Dragon started off.
Let's have a watch.
Oh, he already is on a ward, though.
So he's looking for the gank instead as he crosses for him there.
You know, he gives space.
Flash solo snare though.
He's braiding.
With a golden eclipse.
Humanoid close to dying, a good fear as he runs through his life for a battle, just for a bit of movement speed, I guess, or he just wanted to get in range.
Sends out again for a due Humanoid lucky to be alive, but JoJo made the play happen while Dragon was focused.
What played by Humanoid there? He was able to navigate that beautifully, honestly.
The fact that he could get away to safety in a situation that felt pretty much guaranteed to result in his death.
Very well played by him. He's going to have to give up his wave, but he does have the TP, so he can just come back to lane.
And his team secures the dragon so that is definitely something for vitality that they very much needed
And you know we've been harping on a lot about this trap if they can get onto a late game state where the gold gap isn't if it
Stays as it is right then they do have scaling on their side
They go all right play poke Caitlyn range the amount of objective control that you have in terms of the amount of space
that you can acquire, with Caitlyn traps, face checking into a quay, the Alistar engage,
like Vitality will have tools if they can get to the late game.
The question is, can they get to the late game without conceding more?
Because as the lanes are going right now, Koi is just continuing to build up more leads.
I will call it a genius draft at that point.
If they get to the late game, we will flip around and go, wow, there's got to be
something.
I do not think I will do that.
It's incredible.
Shot will.
You know, you guys will say it at home.
Alright, let's wait and see how the next couple of minutes go because it should be chill, but Emcoy is trying to push this limit and set up a dive.
That's why I'm looking towards El Yoye and JoJo making the move down. Fleshy drops a ward.
And Linsus is trying to cover Kazi out deep in the lane.
But Emcoy, will they contribute for the sell to two of the dive?
Linsus downed out, spotted out, fleshy with an engage.
And Lynch is by Jack, you know it's coming in as well, trying to speed on it.
Emcoy, arena choked, so maybe an opportunity here for Vitality.
Talvory jumps away, stand beside me, it's good.
Sparrowing, spare on the two, Georgia couldn't deflect it.
Flash again, Fleshy, maybe a wonderful play.
It's good with the Golden Clips, I'm doing too much weight.
Vitality gives Lynch a three set.
Hell, Yoya with the Cataclysm as well.
Heal, die two.
Into a choke, Vitality make it work.
And Fleshy's pulverized, sends them sky high.
Fantastic execution of the fight from Vitality, they came at it from multiple angles and Humanoid arriving late really benefited them.
The fact that they were pincers in this narrow choke point, a nice knock-up will come through from Vitality but Koi is still pretty safe.
Super's now making his way up, look at the placement of the traps here from Karzy, stun connection from Fleshy,
but Humanoid getting rid of that Blast gun was so important because now Super and JoJo don't have a good place to go.
Flash in from Fleshy, knocks back into, but he's forced to flash and goes over the wall.
He now can't contribute to the fight anymore, Alvaro has to flash away as well.
And that was then, two flashes burn.
We should get all the armor. I think we can't get that one.
Yeah, yeah, no, good point there, Alvaro.
Really good point.
I agree that the fight could have gone better.
But hey, Vitality, they fight back.
They get a bit of gold onto Karzy, which is very much needed, and they close the jungle
gulf gap that was starting to accrue.
Linsus has shown carry performances on this champion before.
Let's see if he can do it again.
I think Humanoid has been getting his ults off as well.
That's true, that's true, yeah.
Use something else.
I'm going to use a little bit of material.
I'm not sure.
But Humanoid waits.
It's like the broken blade argument you've been talking about before.
He waits for the fight, and he sends it out.
Yeah, Propsy in one is a very hard game to play, he's dragon's up in 1 minute 30, Vitality got the first.
What does it come back to, Sterak's hands?
But also decisions, and Koi ultimately made a bad decision there, whereas Vitality made some good ones.
So credit to them.
Now, the gank squad has arrived in mid lane.
Watch, Gakko doesn't know I'm just playing a crack, even though he's just tripping dead.
Okay, Golden Eclipse, Uninoid is first down.
Yeah, I have a feeling Mkoi's comp is just a little bit easier to execute somewhat
So the EQ are yeah, good luck have fun
Now what a vitality dude, oh, they're just gonna keep playing it
You gotta keep getting gold that they can but chance corruption can act and super does not enough for a Q
He was hoping he'd clear the wave and super takes our damage now
Oh, I mean we never talked about this because we both, you know
Pulled it out the back of the water.
Supa's not going for poke. He's going for on hit.
I guess he believes that he's getting outranged by Caitlyn plus...
Well, you're probably not getting outranged by Caitlyn, but you are getting outranged by Huey.
So maybe he's saying it's better if we just play this front to back.
And I just got on hit instead.
It means that JoJo's going to be the main source of poke.
Lock it, now finished for Alvaro.
Alright, well the game's definitely now quite interesting. The gold has gone back to Koi.
After getting that gank in mid, that's a 40 CS lead in mid lane for Jodo. Humanoid is
very far behind.
He is indeed, but this dragon goes down. Vitality not in the worst position out for him again.
He's definitely in burn on the chain. Vitality making this a play as Lindsus holds onto
the off as one of us send down the demon form.
on the end of the game.
Oh, you're a spot about.
Linsus hops over the wall.
Kali's now mid, looking for the bushes.
JoJo wants to threaten him with the solo snare
and end Koi trying to find a position
where they can enable a pick.
Kim and I are going to go back to bot lane
to catch that wave.
He's a full level behind JoJo,
who now has that second point in his ultimate available.
Koi with good position on the river.
Thanks to securing the crab,
at least Vitality will have information.
TPs are not available for Narknarko.
As he's just TP'd back into the top lane,
as Neowyn will have his TP available as he uses the ult though so Toplaner is unlikely to be involved in the skirmish
And it seems the fight's actually saying you know what we've already got on the first dragon
Koi will give you the second one and I think that's a wise choice Koi definitely feels stronger
They did make a blunder earlier, but it doesn't mean they're just gonna start losing fights still in an excellent spot
And Koi secure an uncontested fight
Koi still has 2000 gold and despite the play that
opened it to Vitality a little bit more. It's just swung back and it's that
individual CS lead. It's top the first time that Milen's actually had a lead I
guess could match up way so much but also Naka has been able to do much.
Jojo as well. Jojo is 40 CS up on humanoiders game. So yeah that melt big
making dividends as Herald sits there. It's the next objective for Emcoy and
pings are going down. You know the Jarvan is clearing towards bot. It looks like M's
putting their eggs in the top lane asking. Yeah, there's plates to be had. We'll just
push out top for now. The good news for Narknarko is that his magic resistance is good into
both solo laners. So value. The bad news is that he is so outranged that he will
probably never touched her, Joe.
The result is, the ulti from Alvaro, Flash, oh my god,
Fleshy did it again with Tramble on Zipper, it's good.
He has to head for Alvaro as well.
That was interesting, Alvaro preys W at the same time.
So as he's leaping over the Alice there,
he gets head nodded.
We're dying him.
Lens is zooming mid lane.
And it's a good angle as well.
He's gonna go right infernal, straight away,
Super Flashes.
Yeah, wise.
There was that gamble.
Will Lensis Flash after me or not?
I've got a Flash preemptively.
Getting a bit of health back, now the Herald started his own in the area, no play, but Xiongnuid has the TP.
Jojo has a lot of mud all waiting, let's see if Nucknucket pulls the trigger, no demonic ascension and...
Why is he taking that?
...I don't know, but Flesh is setting up the engage and I don't think it's a good TP anymore, Flushing away, Xiongnuid is just gonna die.
Bit of an ender is equal, I need to get three, Karthi in trouble, double electro Harpoon.
Mewen is overheated but he's in with the reset and he'll find it, Flushing on the wall, Karthi is out for M-Coy.
Had the kills, had the heralds to themselves, and Koi did a bit of a wopsy.
I mean, that was the easiest fight of course, a lot of things.
They're just like, wait, who's team, is it Orn? Do you being honest? What do you mean Orn's behind us?
So that must be a free kill then. They get the flash out from Koi, they one shot him, they get the mid tower, they get the flash out from Karzy.
A poorly executed fight from Vitality. Koi absolutely demolished them.
I mean at this display is so easy for them. They turn their attention to the TP. They went back to a Rive, they one-shot him, and sure
I mean, oh, they don't even, was that re-bottled? I think the Ornult was also re-bottled.
I think Nugger just didn't press the button again.
Oh, maybe, maybe you're right, maybe you're right.
He just didn't want to, it was a bang. It was a roost. Watch away by Mewen.
Yeah, and then, yeah, so...
Korg got a lock, 3K now, could be a gold lead. Things are looking dire for Vitality.
They're waiting for his searing charge as a pillow in the way and he gets stunned up
And I'm just waiting because a couple more of these radiant bollies
That golden clip will even take down the lawn
What do you do? Here comes a herald three K Gold leaf at the burst into near four all of them
Koya moving top all four members with me when covering the bot push
And this will be a double charge with the way things are going. Yeah, I mean
I mean, Koi is just absolutely slurping on them now, because JoJo is so fed, his poke is monstrous, he's going for early magic pen, the cross map will come through from Vitality, so they'll get a bit of gold back themselves, but with the Mel this strong with the range that she has, it becomes so much harder for Vitality to actually defend any of their towers.
Bot Tower will likely be the next objective for Koi.
They just have to turn their attention towards mid,
get that push out, gain control of the river,
and then set up the four dragon
along with securing that bot tower.
The game plan is very simple for Koi.
By Tarty, they're gonna have to find some crazy pick or a fight
in order to swing the momentum back in their favor.
It's not gonna be an easy game for them to play at all
with Braum primed and ready to block any of the engages.
with the rebuttal, also there, Georgia now with two completed items, she's a full item over Humanoid.
It's a tough position for Vitality to be in.
Vitality just need, I mean a bit more time, we talked about it, they need a lot more time, but
they've been really starting, or keen to start these fights with Fleshy, with Lenses, but
they look pretty hard right now. The handsdiff needs to come in close to 25 seconds to the Drake.
They picked up one, we just delayed their game for them.
Another one, we just put in a further timer on that, but remember, Baron spawns in 10.
One misstep, and Mkoi moved from Dragon to Baron.
And moved this to a 5-6k gold lead in an instant.
Elioi is down an angle, it's on the nut, nut, but he went deep in this lane, searing charge away.
He cataclysm keeps him there, he can't e out of it because he burned it before and he flashes away,
still close to dying.
Half HP with no flash, might have to TP back in, as Dragon might have just been gone.
Yeah, I think that is an easy secure for Coy to say the least.
I think that they executed that very cleanly,
cause he's doing what he can to get some gold back.
The options for Vitality could only continue to get more and more limited as the game continues.
Maybe they can make a play on JoJo here if they get the knockup.
Charge. Okay they do get the knock up flesh he does it again.
He's a good spot alive but we need a bit more damage I think.
Wragging Dragon, call the force, got my B exactly that.
Everyone's into a Jarvan while the 2v2 happens in mid.
Kazi kites away, we're just getting all those down by Shutba.
Flash by Linsus or other, from the Varus. A shutdown.
Hey drops gets a bit of a kill. We're looking for a fight.
I just really don't know.
We're sending Q after Q of the Radiant Poly and Searing Brilliant.
Brilliant I'm waiting for it again a golden eclipse knock knock goes close to dying. He's burning down Alvaro
Doesn't have a flash available as he charges up
Vitality just have to get out there. I'm lost for words because
It just looks so difficult
Uh, yeah Vitality close to gold gap
Somehow they do. I guess it was because they got a bit of a shutdown onto super
We look back at mid lane, super and Karzy basically have at it, oh nice block there from Alvaro.
But yeah, super basically says I'm going to auto, auto, auto, I have the proc passive that I could proc.
You just barely missed out actually, I'm kind of surprised that that was as close as it was.
Considering that super even got the first auto attack off.
A little bit more damage from Karzy would have been enough to turn that around.
Either way, it ends up being a 1 for 1 in the middle lane, bottom lane no one ends up falling but the tower is secured for Koi.
We talked about how that was going to be the next objective and now you just play for well Baron really
I think that you're strong enough that they could force it if they really wanted to like
JoJo is mega-fed me when it's two items completed
You just basically start it force for TPs say come to Baron and
Then you turn and fight because your team fight should just be way stronger
It really didn't hop watch JoJo we've seen like
Individuals is from me when I'm not to get it yet
I mean, we haven't seen Vitality get cooked.
We have.
But not in the way I thought.
Not in the way that's gonna happen, probably.
Actually, I feel like this good game has gone exactly as I expected based on the draft.
I think it's gonna be so much worse.
Like, Vitality have surprisingly found a couple of good plays.
Sure, that's fair.
That was in bot.
And that was because of Fleshy, I feel like his Alta has been clean, but...
Yeah, this game, I think we're all at home.
I don't think this could have been our first 20 minute game of the season.
It could have been.
Yeah, I don't think it was that extreme.
I don't know. I think a lot of people at home would disagree.
This could have been the first, probably the quickest game of LEC.
I mean, if we're going to have a performance like this, it's got to feel pretty good,
especially given how one-sided the first game was.
Especially since they only played one series a week for the next couple of weeks.
It's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think that was in danger.
He's going to get out now, no flag, oh my, millisecond before I knock him out.
Is that a Baron star though? I feel like that could be a Baron star.
Can I go to reposition though, can I?
He needs to base. He's cautious because he's paranoid about a Baron star.
They're all really worried about a Baron star.
Yeah, like they're all here and they're just leaving.
Okay, no Baron, that's fine.
Yeah, I mean, what else is there to say? Like right now it's just dragon.
That's what they're waiting for. They're waiting for an objective to actually fight over with no other towers.
There's not an easy play for them to make, so instead they just focus on getting gold for themselves, taking their time.
There's no need to rush for Koi. You're in such a good position. Your scaling continues to be good.
I think the brawl against this composition makes it very difficult for Tartar to play.
You've also got the rebuttal, so you are chilling.
The worst thing Koi could do right now is overforce a play, finding picks, finding poke, looking for vision, I think is all good.
But there's no need for them to rush in at it.
Well, dragging in a minute should be an easy setup that will lead to solid point M. Koi.
They've got this game in the bag as far as we're concerned, but again, anything can happen.
anything can happen. It's the LEC and anything can happen as Knuckles being
focused down but Alvaro is just covering JoJo for the time being giving
him more vision to Baron. Deeper vision at that the Vitality gonna have to go
over same spots again as a wood shield. 40 seconds till the drake and I will say
if Vitality can get this dragon somehow, then even I say that's a
gigantic wing. At least, yeah. It would be. It's slowly going down, but I guess. Yeah, absolutely.
I mean I'm looking at items and actually both of them are dead even on items right now,
so this is like Vitality's best case scenario to fight I would argue. It's just the 80 carries
when there's a bit of a gap. If Karzy could have got an Infinity Edge he would have been much
happier. Yep. I think she's gonna start baron from this position. It's not that much damage
Oh coin, let's not float this 50-50 now. Oh, yeah, still doing it.
L.E.O.S. is the best super as well. They just engage for now.
Starman has been used by JoJo. Vitality group up in a bit of a choke.
Alvry thinking about dropping that ulti. You can see it on his face as this gets
over the wall. They just engage.
Baron has not been started yet. Ended. And Vitality don't expend really that much.
Actually nothing to get through.
Just a dance for control over the mid wave, poke being thrown out by JoJo, not quite connecting, focus on the wave for now.
Koi reassert himself with vision over the river. That's humanoid has to catch that wave.
It's a bit of an awkward lock into the catch. Ooh, a Q from our road.
He was out steering charge used to wait enough enough goes disengaged
Super trying to do some parts remember. He's the on-hit virus as JoJo tried to do the same five members emcoy in this straight fight
Talon is
Have set up the line. It's on Karzy right now dictating where emcoy snappers are gonna go to the fight
But she finds a big three-man four-man steering charge as well average that
Cardi got the first kill and then gets from earlier opens up the hotpot
Cardi can be chakled him down, but he got out, he got out and survived!
Waitali has only lost their support, it's a 2 for 1 in favor of the Bees
and M.Coy lost the fight.
What the hell happened?
Okay, they still don't feel confident enough to start off the dragon.
Oh my god, Naxnaka's found Super at half-heat speed already.
We wait, we look, we see Super trying to kite it out.
He sends out the pillar, Super slowed down though.
No shubinite gets flashed on super with the play, but shubinite gets the damage
He was chasing him down and flashed to get the kill another half burn and
Nuck Nugget gonna be slowed down, burned down, but he takes a while to die
Leeds is still alive here, ready to continue the engagement. He's got flashed
but won't burn it as he gets away from the stun. Lightality, the dragon stays
there. We might have to do this in chapter two. Oh my goodness okay so I
I think that it's a better position for Koi though, just because with Humanoid deads, they'll have the numbers advantage quicker.
Mell has gone back to base, JoJo can TP back into the mid wave though.
Yeah, and you can see that Koi, like, don't have super available.
Okay, so, but I'm just going to rush this one down.
They're trying, they're trying, but this might, they got it.
They've got the second dragon vitality, got it.
Now for the battle to fight, they've got two ambitions.
He's like a chum, chum's in, Arbore has popped his down as well, 4 vs 4 but the dragon's done, it's a win for Vitality.
The ult is now back up for McNaco, the threat of an engage is there, Humanoid is on his way back, a super go back to top.
Vitality have punished the positioning mistakes from Koi to give themselves a chance, they can continue to try and stall the game out.
And that's what they need. They need time but believe it or not humanoid. There was like a 2k gold gap between the midlaners
Yeah, he now has a deathcap. He does indeed ace in the hole on JoJo. It's good damage with no re-pottled there
And quite a fighting for their vision over the choke. They want to hold their line here
Vitality not contesting for now Baron will stay alive healthy and
Uncontested I'm completely shocked. I don't know how he did not think
the vitality would be able to win out on that fight. Wow okay so I mean I was
hoping we could get a replay because the triple knock-up from Fleshy into the
triple knock-up from KnuckKnuckGo. It was four baby. Oh wow. Yeah. Because then
humanoid's just like okay I'm just gonna hit everyone then. Oh Fleshy he may have been caught out.
Wait no, maybe who he's caught out? It's Alvaro.
Stunned up, trampled, has to flush away with this fight,
and here we go, call the forego.
As you have both players expired, it runs down, gets super.
Linsus dies, gets a reset, and now the demon flies.
Vitality, they still got Alvaro in the choke,
and Linsus gets a double.
That's two down from MQoy,
and maybe this draft is genius.
What?
Okay, no, I feel like what we're seeing is that,
what exactly what happened against Navi.
Koya just making mistakes, seeing mistakes as well.
And Vitality is just taking advantage of this opportunity.
Now with five members alive, the threat of a ban,
but they have used all of their ults.
Parties has come back up, they've got the track line down.
El Yoye's looking for a steal.
El Yoye spotted out, so Vitality has to think,
are they gonna 50-50 the game?
Lentus gets over the wall.
So does he now, but now both Spines are away
from the pit.
El Yoye at an angle, at 4k, at 3k.
They're going to take the baron down, Vitality get the purple worm.
This game now winnable.
Oh my goodness, it fell all but over.
And Vitality, they're punishing again.
You're thinking to yourself, oh well, flash is isolated.
We want to get a bit of vision in the river, Albrass and Flash early.
The long range on ult connects because there's no remodel nearby.
It's a 3 versus 5.
The rumble ultimate is placed well, doesn't want to damage on the Karzy, but it's lint since they have to be worried about.
As he chases down the members of Koi, gets himself a double kill.
Oh my god.
The headsets off for Melzett, the headsets off.
Oh, the contracts are expired.
Oh, no.
I agree.
We're going to get a saucy interview after this.
Oh dear, I can't wait for this week.
But Koi, it's exactly the same thing against Narvi.
It felt like a done and dusted game against Narvi.
and then just small silly mistakes from Koi and Vitality are back into this game.
They've gotten through the hardest part.
Now, I mean, we mentioned it earlier, if they can just get to the late game, then they have tools.
Well, they've made it.
He's there. He's there here.
Here they are.
And...
Oh boy.
I just, you know, in the most vitality fashion.
And now, not leading game in gold, but even with dragons,
I'm in a position where, as you said, I've hit the points that I need to hit,
which is the triple item spike coming through from play,
but even more importantly, the quadruple Kazi with the Infinity Edge now complete.
A lot of burst, a lot of poke. Vitality.
Yeah, but so it's important to recognize that that draft conversation we had earlier
doesn't suddenly disappear, okay? No, no, no, no, no, no, hang on.
My point is that Vitality, even though they've clawed it back,
they basically reset the game.
Yep.
It doesn't mean that they're now winning with it.
OK.
So execution of the fights is very important for vitality,
and it means that Koi still have opportunities
to reclaim that control.
Execution in the fights is going to be very important,
and whoever decides to start the fight,
like, that's the scariest thing.
The engage for both sides is so important.
If Fleshy goes into early, wrong will make his life
miserable.
If El Yoya picks the wrong timing
to go in, that could smell disaster for Koi as well.
But it's Naka-Naka Alts when rebuttals up.
Exactly, like there's a lot of variables here.
There's so much variance in this crazy macro.
But now I'm excited, because I felt like that the game was just
over and he's going to be outside it.
But now we've reset to that neutral point.
The gold isn't really a matter anymore.
Doesn't.
My family thinking, oh, they've got LGOYA walls
simmering bomb dodged.
Where did the damage come from?
I mean, I think it was a track, no, it may have been the stun from Fleshy, I'm not gonna tell you.
Or maybe just a carzy auto that came through.
It may have been a knock up from Lint, yeah, I mean a lot of variables, it could have been
either way they forced back to get the tower, another dragon secured.
Yep, they're on solid.
And again, like, so this is just gonna stall the game even more because no soul will be secured,
there's no objectives to really play for the ball, so it's just farm, farm, farm, farm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, cars, it must have known.
He knows.
Just a man, doesn't open anything up, it's just a, it just happens.
He did it for the love of the game.
I guess he did.
Yeah, he just probably comes like a no-no rebuttal.
But that's a 30-second call.
That's so funny if that's the call.
That is the goal.
No-no rebuttal.
OK, Baron's not up for 2 minutes 30.
The game now swings to Vitality with a gold leaf
for the first time in this game.
And I mean the first time.
All lanes came out ahead.
And now Linsus is 1,700 gold ahead of Elioi,
who I think had a pretty stellar.
I mean, JoJo was 2k gold ahead of Humanoid.
Like, Humanoid felt so irrelevant in this game,
and now he's close to completing his pen item,
but I've forgotten the name of the heals everything.
I know what that means.
Crypt of Lune.
Thank you, thank you.
Crypt of Lune.
Yes, yes, yes.
You are completely correct.
Just the same way, I could have looked.
I'm an idiot.
But that decided the point.
Baron in about two minutes' time.
Do I think these teams are really going to start it?
No.
Dragon will be the bigger point of compenshion.
Four minutes is pretty much what we're waiting for both teams are desperate to get the next item finished
I think cause he's gonna go for a GA next, but it could also be a bloodthirster
It depends on why they're not he trusts in his own ability to survive or if he thinks the life steal is more important
Good question. It's normally with Kaleem. See if they're gobbling since humanites caught out
That is a way how you get out of it with a flash but then flag and try double PP by telling each other to
and then he landed with a flash.
Oldie from Alvaro might be enough, but you know it.
Still won't die, and in his strong corner,
the ALE is exceptional.
Vitaly has their take, who missed his ulti,
and Fleshy limited to Engage as Lintas
gets his first reset.
His demonic ascension will continue.
As Mewen has overheated, knocking up, dodging,
flashing away, he's got the moves.
Lintas has run out, but Fleshy is not.
He flashes, steering charge, we're waiting.
And it says Lintas goes back in,
there's Cardi with a flash,
match player and lawyer, Vitality playing from the back,
they don't have the damage, they can't kill Kazi.
Super!
Super is running forward on the side of the car,
he's one shotting, 80 carry, that's 80 carry,
Super in front of the chain,
once away from, listen to the joke,
but Kazi, he scaled up,
and for Vitality, they wipe the flag,
the flag goes up, and an ace
sinks into the teeth of M-Koi.
That might very well be game,
40 second death time is on four, that is a Koi.
The fight was so drawn out. Humanoid, does he have to? Yes, TP!
He can TP to join the team. The question is, can they get through these towers fast enough?
No way. Kaji's gonna one-shot the pirates. I mean, that won't be the problem.
Halberr is gonna try and defend a 20-second flightality with his draft.
I'm looking to take down M-Coin, number three and one.
Betty, we were skeptical. We criticized.
What could they do?
He blamed. But when you have the hands of flightality,
No one stands in the way.
Vitality will move to 3-1 at the end of week two.
And with class like that, I don't know how.
You can stand up to the mojo of this B.
I mean, they punished the mistakes of Koi so effectively.
They navigated the late-game fights beautifully,
and they're able to come back in what felt like a lost game.
Well played to Vitality, Melzett is going to have a serious conversation with these players because Koi, like that was their game to lose.
You can vote for your player in the series, NACNACO, LINCIS or CARZI. I do think LINCIS deserves it.
They didn't take a bow. You guys got a bow. Bow to the audience. Bow to the analysts there.
Yeah, they're coming back.
Here we go.
They're coming back.
I mean, I don't know how they won that game.
Well, you don't know how they won that game.
I really felt like the Vitality, we were just going to like,
oh, it was a super exciting series.
Great game one, great game two, and then game three.
It's just going to be a one-sided stop, really.
Is that how we're going to end this series?
But it was not.
And then it ended up being a bang at Vitality
deliver on the chaos that they continue to bring.
What a crazy game.
like I hope we can talk to the coaches about that last draft like I was a good
question but wow what a series Koi gonna feel really frustrated that reminds me
so much of exactly like their Navi series a winning position that they could
have closed out and they end up fumbling it at the very end and they end up
doing it again the inconsistency allegations from Koi they remain
strong. I don't know how did we're just gonna toss to the AD. We're just gonna throw it to the AD.
How did they win? It's fun. That is an excellent question guys. How did they win? Let's let's ask
them actually. What happens? Who wants to go first? Who's gonna take it? Okay you go.
I mean I think in teamfights we are them so I think that makes a bit difference so I mean
we were just we were winning and then we threw it somewhere and then we started winning again
it was like I mean second game was like this as well like we were winning and then we chained
We didn't want summer and then our...
And then you didn't start with EK.
But that was also enough for me.
But this one, we had good champs.
It wasn't like a second game where we had Silas and they outscaled us too easy when we did a mistake like this.
But this game we had good champs as well, like Caitlyn and...
So you had good champs. Interesting, because I have someone next to me.
Did you like your draft?
Because I think my champs are very good.
You're good scaling carries, but for me like...
Playing Caitlyn Alistar and they get counterpick on support, so you're losing with Caitlyn.
And then also it's like crazy brown game because you guys have ore.
And you also have...
Like, else I'm about to block the ore.
I mean, it's not good...
Yeah, good draft for sure. I think it favors them.
But when it goes to 50 minutes, you know?
Like, I would champs there with it.
So, I mean, when they locked the brown, I knew we were in trouble to be honest.
I wasn't that scared to be honest, I was scared man.
I was scared.
There's a thing with you guys in game 3 drafts, can we talk about this?
Is that a coaching thing, is that a you guys thing, is that everybody's responsible thing?
I think everybody is responsible because it's hard to find ideas since we don't have
that much experience in stages when it's game 3 because it's hard to predict as well.
This game, this series they banned 3 supports in a row, 2 games I think, so you can't predict this and...
Was that why you went for the Alistar blind? Because you felt like they were already taking out so many supports and you were like...
Yeah, I mean it was only Alistar and Rell, it was open, like the useful ones I think, so I just chose Alistar instead of Rell.
So at least we have some counter play in teamfights.
I think the first 3 was good though.
The first three was good, but then I think the Brom was kind of an issue, right?
Like Brom into Ornult, we can never engage.
It's into three melee, and I think bot lane matchup is also like...
With Brom it's very easy to win the skirmishes, so yeah, I think that was kind of hard.
But besides that, it was a little bit.
Jack, what makes you so hard to draft?
In C&S, the more the games go, when you have a right of first selection and everything, like...
There's a lot of components of draft.
Especially for me, when you have a bad draft, it's either it's a communication issue in draft,
like somebody didn't speak up that they need to, or somebody spoke that didn't.
Or it's a jump pool issue of the players, like somebody can't play the meta jumps that
well, so you end up having to play a bad jump.
I don't know if you guys feel like you guys...
I feel like you guys have pretty good jump pools across the board.
So I could imagine maybe that when you guys end up with weird drafts...
I don't know, for example, okay, the TF Seraphine Braum.
Oh no, let's not come back to that!
It's over bro, we're in the past, we don't look down.
I mean, that one, I was so surprised because I was looking for some pike, some good Romer champs.
Because I'm a good pike, you know what I mean?
I was thinking of looking pike because the draft is bad, like for 90 to 10 maybe.
So I was thinking maybe we can stabilize it a bit from Seraphim pike and some plays and stuff.
stuff yeah and then people were like braum braum braum is free
I was thinking like who is gonna proc my passive
I mean that story was like that but it's fine that kind of showed us to because we had
us holy drafts you know like last four series I think like especially first two
games I mean we didn't go third game too much but maybe two series but still
We showed good things, I think.
I have a question, because some games you win convincingly, some games you lose atrociously.
Some games you come back surprisingly within the same series against the same opponent, so who are you?
What is my identity right now?
I mean, we are hope-givers.
I mean, I knew this question would pop when we lost game 2, because we were kind of stomping them, I think.
early to mid game and then we just made one mistake and then I think like my
mistake on top right like I didn't told the Victor I was reading the whole car see
mistake was maybe bigger that he eat the Krags yeah I mean this third game is
all to be honest like when I Q flash on bot tier one when there was like male
Jarvan and me and Nec were like holding like if I connect Q flash to Jarvan
instead of male like I think the game will be much easier than it's too
too many things, right?
But I think to kind of answer your question, I think that we are looking to play very
on the limit, very proactively, and we are taking what they give us, kind of.
So I think it's very easy.
You're taking more sometimes than what they give you guys.
Yeah, I'm taking more sometimes, but I think it's very easy for this type of gameplay
to look like we're kind of stomping them because I think game one was clear stomping.
2 was also a clear stomp until we kind of threw, so I think it's very easy to think that we are like inting in mid-game sometimes but the reality is that like if you make a big mistake or when you're looking to play like this, to always take the max that you can, it's that sometimes you look like this and I think game 2 show that, but on the other hand game 1 was just a clear fast stomp, I would say so, and game 3 I mean was something hard.
You came back, that's what matters?
Yeah, that's what matters. We won the series.
How are scrims though? Because when I see you guys in stage, I could see scrims either being like mega flip or being really good because you guys have really good laners.
But looking at your reaction, I'm getting pretty flip maybe.
I mean, we are good until the checkies get bored, you know?
After 3 games, they are getting bored and it's kind of an enemy fault as well.
Because if you win first 3 games or win first 2, they will start playing like they don't give a shit.
So you will find a lot of kills and a lot of plays, so people get bored when you play against this.
Because it feels like it's fake and they are mental.
So then our chickies get bored and then they start doing that
And then it's the same thing, you know, so after three games
We are just scream three games
Depending on the opponent, right? We play sometimes we play like KCG2
Like we are Parma like six game five game doesn't matter. We are full focused and trying to learn things, you know
Yeah, but yeah, the other teams
I noticed you didn't say MQoy as well. It's like KCG2, not as well.
I mean, since we played them, we didn't scream them in the end.
That's true, that's fair enough, yeah.
But would you say that MQoy is like no longer...
Because it was kind of a clear top three, right? With KCG2 MQoy.
Yeah.
You think MQoy are still clearly in the top three?
I mean, I think MQoy's scrims were not that bad,
but I don't think they are kind of the same with us, I think.
Like they don't focus too much maybe in scrims.
Or like don't put too much energy on focus.
so maybe yeah but they are good overall yeah I think though I mean the energy
like I think we do make scrims productive to learn I think overall
like they today I like how you're kind of the PR
I think our scrims have been productive I think we do a lot of also besides
scrims like good meetings to learn things and we watch a lot of like we
watched I think almost every game of first-hand right but yeah
we fight a lot too so it helps yeah all right so you're defending him so you're
defending everyone let's see if you can defend him he's the key player of
the series today I think in us yeah yeah okay deserved
Yeah, yeah, for sure. I think he was smurfing first two games and then second one was insane good too. I think he's dessert this guy
He was him today. Yeah, the jungle support synergy right on support is going crazy
We saw that on social media actually
It's the third day now that my support is barking or howling in the office. What does this mean? Well, what does this mean plesche?
I mean everybody does this in team like weird noises and stuff like try to be funny or just
it comes from inside you know and the last last video and I was doing this and
the leaders was like when I did this while entering the room he said like
Okay, you are the one I'm tweeting this.
That's nice.
It's just a funny moment.
Yeah, authentic.
We see that on stage, actually, whenever we have a hot night.
Let's take a look at the schedule, the standings.
That's standings first, maybe, and see where we finish the week.
No, okay, that's going to be schedule. Baited, thank you production.
What do we have next week?
Oh, that's, yeah, that's an interesting deal.
I mean, Fnatic did just BT2.
Which usually means that they're gonna come back angry, but what do you feel about G2?
G2 in the regular season is a bit less scary.
That's true.
It depends as well, like Fnatic series, maybe they were trying some things and maybe they were like too chill, you know?
Like one of us would be too good.
When they come back, I think after all they went top 2, so I think they gave their players a bit of a break as well and the meta also probably changed a little bit.
Not that much, but still, I think they're gonna come back stronger. So I think it would be a tough matchup.
Do you guys feel like a top team right now? Because we've talked about M-Koi, KC, G2 being the top 3 in winter.
I really feel like on your best days you can pretend to that, but how do you guys feel?
I would say we are top 3.
Okay.
For sure.
And we are looking to be top 2 on the MSI.
That's the goal.
So who's your top 3 if you were to rank 1, 3, 2 KCS or us KC and then like KCS battling
for the 2nd or 3rd?
I mean they won against us so it would be fair to say that.
And then play 4 for?
Yeah.
After today, yeah.
I mean they just beat that guy.
I mean I would say Giants.
We would be top 2, top 3.
If you keep playing like this, and even add up a bit more,
and better decisions in-game out came in draft,
I think we are playing good league of legends.
It's just need to be more stable.
That's it, I think.
Consistency is the hardest thing you get, usually,
