I
Just a story you've been told
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 wanna take you to the sea
I
I'm so scared of getting used to this
All the vines that keep you tethered in your room
Some day both of us are leaving here
But for now, I'll just bring this to you
Oh, when you meet me in the daylight
Like we did it before
Then I felt you on my shoulder
And you weren't suffering anymore
You said I'm sorry that you were me
Don't apologize
I told you to forget me
But you stayed by my side
When I said
Don't try and make yourself a man
You're always the time I let go
I'm always thinking I'm just a story
It's all a story
So let's breathe
I am a man alone
I'm a man, I'm a man
I'm a man, I'm a man
Everything goes on
Oh, oh, oh
Love is weak and sweet
Whatever you do, it's a daydreamin'
Yeah, your words are all I need
But I can't do anything
I can't help but fall in love with you
We'll meet again at the edge of the world
君の言葉繰り返し
何でも覚めてもやめない

I need all my hair cuz I'm on the street
Taking all your lead, walking down this road
I wanna let it get insane, ain't no debate
For who's a man to break by the proudest words
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Didn't do recomba, they wanna lead them and guide them astray
Then take them off praxis, I was in the middle to get a beast
Meanwhile they was crying my deep black, sick of no man kiss
I've been with enough practice, no clout or did you pour captions
Words in madness, how am I gonna manifest straightness?
You wanna make me, yeah
I don't need reasons, I just need money, empowering slashes
I don't wanna do it like down, like down, like God
That nothing's true, I'm not happy
This big man today ain't landing
Never gonna profit off badness
Never got a dollar off sadness, but I've been sunk
So I don't do sanctions
It's killing instinct man, I never did courses
We go all the times and the past, they rejected it
Now they wanna imitate times and forces
Stone Iron, vision like organs
Tired fight, looking his eye, but he finally realized
Ordered the weapons that he brought to the war, ain't forming
I've been giving this part and body and shoulder
Light and organs, knocked to my finger, split

Get ready, get ready, get ready
Get ready, get ready, get ready
The sun is the name of the day
Now I'm a part of the name of the day
Yeah, yeah
Double the dark of this game is a thrill
It noted the past, I came in for bed
Feeling it so off, buddy, I feel like I'm blowing on it
How do you cope?
When it never gave you hope
We left you in the cold
And just ran heavy on your soul
To be honest, I don't know
Even where you have to go
Get it together, whatever the weather
And carry that tribulation to the
I

Everybody, he's doing the story, he's under the light.
Bonjour, and bienvenue to the LED Arena.
here in every France. We are
here for day two of the road
trip and the kind invitation
of KC as we see them taking on
teams 43.
I'm sorry. It's been a little
while since I've been here.
Obviously, we have a fanatic
Navi and shifters going in the
party this weekend and we are
very honored to be here to be
part of the show. I'm
medic and drama. Finn and
Betty to lead you through the
analyst desk today. But before
we get into today's action,
Let's have a look at how things have been going across the course of the weekend because with yesterday's results, we have actually had Heretics officially confirmed as out of playoff contention, sitting at 1 and 6 with only a couple of series left.
Shifters and SK as well are in a precarious position where if KC win 2-0 today, they'll be both out of playoff elimination as well.
I was quite surprised, but I mean when you look at the table like heretics only have two games left to play with
With the nature of the schedule some teams did end up playing a lot during the first half of the split
And as a result of not being able to find that winning methods early on
They find themselves now eliminated from playoffs so a bit of a disappointing end for heretics
So now shifters and I mean for shifters at least their destiny is in their control for SK
They're now the biggest shifters fans hoping that they can make an insane upset happen against Casey
SK Miracle Run would be crazy to see because that team has struggled a lot quite recently,
but I do believe that they're still looking at it for summer.
There is still summer split, but to go out and spin like this is quite disappointing.
But when Mickey came out and said, hey, if we don't make playoffs again, it's a disappointment.
Right? At some point for him and for that team, you have to be looking at it and saying,
what needs to change? How do we correct things? The same for shifters, the same for heretics,
the same for possibly fanatic who are the other team that are looking like.
They might be in those bottom spots depending on how this weekend goes.
But one of the great plays from yesterday as well was Yehuu, with an absolutely absurd dodge on an Ambassador.
Can I have another look at that?
I can go behind, yes again, yes again, I'm coming, I'm going behind this, the house first, I'm coming, I got this body, I got you baby, and you said I'm going here, I'm going to buy it, get up 30.
An absolutely insane reaction time there from Yehufin, do you think you could still do that today?
Maybe not anymore, I don't know, it was the one I got in my last reaction time test.
Okay, sorry.
I think it also gives credence to the Rocket Bear on every champion matters.
It's a good stat-efficient item, sure, but I still don't think we should be perma-buying Rocket Bell.
All against Ambessas, clearly. Anyone with a line skips Leona, Ambessas, Sejuani, all of them need Rocket Bell.
This is a great item. Betty, I think you're wrong in this one.
Okay, fine. Betty's wrong. Let's all buy Rocket Bells for everyone. Rocket Bell for you, Rocket Bell for you. Everyone gets a Rocket Bell.
I think that might be over kill.
I might be a little bit. Let's have a look at who's playing up today.
And obviously as we said before, we have Navi, Casey, Shifters and Fnatic here.
Today we're going to kick off with Navi versus Fnatic,
which could be a really interesting matchup with Navi losing to Casey yesterday
and Fnatic getting the win over Shifters.
Do we feel like it's the closest matchup of the weekend, Finn?
I mean, to me, I really feel like this is right now the closest matchup
as you say, Medius.
Medius? Medic?
I can't speak. I'm too confused with Medivator behind me.
me but like same standard yesterday and the patience that they showed now
compare that to the early game that Navi showed I think this will be a really
crucial matchup because if Natik wants to make the playoffs the team that they
might have to knock down is Navi to be honest because it is really tight right
now for that last spot a lot of teams will be at like five wins ish considering
there's so many teams at the bottom of the standing so it's kind of gonna be
like G2 GX or Navi that you can have to knock down so I mean right now it's
kind of like Fnatic is kind of the outlier right they are the team
sitting outside that top six with Jax and Avi kind of sitting in that five-six spot.
So if they do want to make it into playoffs that matchup is going to be extremely important.
It really is. And for now you have two matches next week as well. So these next couple of weeks
vital for them if they're going to be able to close things out before we go to Madrid.
After Casey's win yesterday though, hysterics went into the crowd to get some reactions.
Let's check out what he had to say.
Oh la la!
In the middle of all this, I'll make a simple, simple call because I know you can barely hear
me.
What is your name?
Introduce yourself.
Okay, so my name is Théo.
I'm a finals kicker since 2021.
Yeah.
So since the NFL, you won.
So you can see the crowd is very crazy today.
It's crazy.
And today, undefeated, you're the best team in LA.
The crowd is very impressive today.
It's crazy.
And today, undefeated, you're the best team in LEC, would you agree?
Yes, no doubt.
Who beats you at this point?
What team in LEC do you think beats KC?
We never seen no one.
What?
They're all bad.
They're all bad.
G2 was lucky in Madrid.
It was such a matter.
I get the feeling Theo might be ever so slightly biased.
No!
You don't think so?
Not the most objective viewer that we've ever had?
I mean, I mean, you know, if I compare it to Finn and his fandom for Rogue, like, it's
pretty close.
You know what I mean?
I was in despair every single day, what are you talking about, that was the joke, man, that was the joke!
Glad that we could air that out, let's get the journey longer out.
Moving on from the despair bro, let's talk a little bit about the despair on Fnatic, as Navi are playing up against Fnatic in the first series of the day.
We talked about it being possibly the closest game of the weekend. Fnatic didn't manage to,
compositionally I will say, outplay shifters and play pretty patiently, but the early game still seems to be a bit of a struggle.
of a struggle. It felt very much to me like Fnatic did have some promising moments in the
other game. They had a very bot focused approach, especially in game one. But the most impressive
thing was, regardless of the game state, I felt like that they made intelligent choices
about trying to play as patiently as possible. And a game two loss but really stepped up
on the support, finding some fantastic engages. I mean, I fully agree with the patient's
point. I think the Fnatic that we saw yesterday was a fantastic performance by
Bloody. I think solo killing a Ryze level two as in the Nivea is unheard of despite
being a counter pick, but also the patience in these team fights on these map setups. I think the
fact that they were playing as shifters maybe gave them a little bit of motivation boost to be
patient. Maybe they knew the game was coming into their hands and they just waited, but I would love
to see them build on this, finally, because we finally see something that is doing right.
The question is, can you continue to build on it against the other teams who are going to
play this weekend? Like Navi haven't really been giving that much mid game failures as
we've seen from shifters, so we'll see what Fanatic decided to do. Vladdy on the other
hand, as you mentioned, a great performance yesterday, especially since the crowd here in
Lezarena was not really on the side.
Yeah, I mean, I knew that there was some bad blood between Vladi and KC, but to have the
crowd react like that, they really gave him an earful when he appeared on stage and during
the interview.
I mean, the way that they parted, clearly not on the best of terms, but he seemed
to thrive in this environment.
Yeah, I mean, I kind of love that he's playing up the villain part in this thing,
that he's just owning the crowd, owning the booth, and he's saying that, guys, I'm
I'm just focused on my game. I'm just gonna play my style and I think that's what you gotta do as a player
You've got to know that the booths are coming no matter what you can do or can't do about it
So just own it. Yeah, you can't really stand up. They'll be like, hey guys, the booze
It's really getting to me, but we're actually gonna hear what Odo one of the fanatic coaches had to say after fanatics first series yesterday
Thank you medic and Odo. Thank you for joining me ahead of today's series
It's been a couple weeks since you joined fanatic, so I wanted to ask you some questions about how things are going with the team
I'm happy to answer, but what's this guy doing here?
Oh, Finn! So Finn is going to be your translator, actually, because I am tired of all the PR b***** that players and you guys give me, so I'm going to need someone to be actually honest here. Is that fine with you?
Sure, I guess, yeah.
All right. Well, you went from being a player for 10 years into joining the team as a coach,
so how has it been for you transitioning into that role and taking a step back actually looking at
what players are doing? So it's been great because all of this experience that I had over the years,
you know, 11 years of playing and even more, I get to take all of that world and just give it
to my players and just find rules for them, find systems that work and just bring out the
absolute best in them. I mean, they don't pay me enough for this stuff, man. I mean,
I mean, at least when I was a pro, I was responsible for my own ending.
And it's like watching children running into a fireplace, and apparently it's my job now to pull them out.
I mean, it doesn't go a single day without envy for the blind people of the world.
Interesting, interesting.
That's not what...
Okay.
It's fine, it's completely fine.
And actually, how are scrims going with the team?
Because Fnatic had a lot of ups and downs.
It's really hard to judge what the team has been about lately.
Tell me about scrims and what you guys have been burning.
We had a bit of ups and downs.
We lost on stage against SK, but we had a good game against shifters yesterday.
I was really really happy because the stuff that we've been working on when it comes to
show that yesterday, so I'm really really excited to see what we can do today against
Na'Vi.
Yeah, I mean we beat shifters yesterday and their dogsh- I mean sorry, dogshifts gameplay,
but you want to talk about practice?
If I have to see Razzler do the same mistake all stage that we went over and practiced,
20 goddamn times, I swear I'll find a way to bring back F1 meta and try to put
I understand how frustrating it must be, but I think you must be proud also to see your
protege, Empyros on the top, and he has been called the Weekside King lately, which is
your legacy.
How proud are you to see that someone is fulfilling your legacy on stage?
Well, that's just what I'm about.
I'm about to be the Weekside King.
Yesterday, he fell a little bit behind.
He was maybe a bit more behind in gold than I was back in the day, when I was
also winning on my side, you know?
It's been nice to see to have a protetive to have someone that I can just give him all of this work of info
So they can kill my legacy forward. I mean weeks are king
The only royal part about emperors is that he's getting executed in France. Let's be real
I mean we gave you counter pick versus shifters and you went down 50 seeds and lost your entire tower by
Yourself in the 1v1. I swear to God if you don't one more time, I'm gonna bench you and your weak ass wave management
That's right. I'm a dog that you're ass
It's hard truth, but the words are just here.
Odo, thank you so much.
Finn, thank you for the honesty talk.
Thank you so much for the interview.
Middic, back to you.
Yeah, great to hear from Odo and Law,
obviously with our translator, Finn.
I think it's of honesty.
Yeah.
For once, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, but in fresh air, exactly.
It's just that understanding of what's really going on
with the other kind of scenes is important.
And I want to talk about what's really going on
with Navi as well.
So we talked a little bit about fanatic.
I know both of you had some question marks about their drafts yesterday.
Nocturne pisses me off.
This might be weird coming from the guy that used to play Nocturne mid as a one-track,
but if you're going to commit to this type of comp, you have to have a comp that enables it.
And I feel like what I've been identifying, at least in yesterday's draft from Navi,
is they draft this potside with a clear game plan in mind.
They lock in a mid that can fit into most roles.
And then the topside just doesn't fit the formula of what the rest of the draft wants to do.
I mean to me it's two parts, right? You drop jungle and you kind of got a lot of bands in jungle
You're like, okay, what do we do to solve this?
Maybe you should have dropped that jungle if Nocturne is the pick you're gonna end up with because it's nothing
You want two things either you want strong side lanes that you can play around. I see a rise and a resolve there
Which is maybe not the best or you want a heavy dive come to dive in with Nocturne because when Nocturne goes in completely by
himself does tend to die quite often and if we get a second game as well there
was some problems there in the four or five department because you ended up
with a J's and Bessa four five and I think the common thing here would be to
just drop the blade J's top lane as a blind pick and then supplement it with
a nice little tank like a skarner or something or if you really want to put
the J's jungle you got a second top and match up you got a lock in something
like an orn or anything that you can like bring that cohesion together in
the comp but I feel like they're between these two things they have
have like one foot in each cupboard?
And this is the eight-inch cupboard.
Right, wait, wait, how are you using a cupboard?
It's a classic suit of saying, you've got your feet
in too many cupboards.
And two herrings when you're feet.
Exactly, exactly.
So as Finra is saying, I feel like Navi's got too many feet
in cupboards right now.
And I feel like the early game is good.
They clearly know how to play as a team.
They know how to enable their jungler.
We heard it from the Ait yesterday on PGL,
talking about how they seem to have a good early game
plan, but I do think that the comms really let them down. And once they reach this mid
game, that coordination that I saw a lot from the last split seems to fall through because
they don't quite have the things in the cupboards that they need to be there.
That makes sense, because they're feeder in there, and you've got shoes and your socks
and everything.
Exactly, and you don't want to come and get your medals.
Let's be honest, I do really quickly want to ask before we get into the walkouts,
is it because they're trying new things or are the drafts just bad?
Probably a bit of both.
Yeah.
I mean I think KC did a great job of targeting Rielich yesterday. They banned the air trucks in Zahand consistently.
That's true.
Not to sign that to be one of their main wing conditions.
Well it worked out for KC yesterday. We'll see if it can work out for Fnatic today who picked up only the second win of the split yesterday.
Navi sitting near the top of the table trying to lock their place into playoffs here in Lezrinos.
The question is who will come out on top on day two?
It's beautiful to see faces coming from everywhere,
not doing anything else in communion.
That's why I invite you to come to the events.
If you have the chance, in any case,
to retransmit, free of charge at home,
for your greatest honor.
Thank you very much.
The goal for the teams is to get to the playoffs and to hope to present Europe to MSI for the two best of them.
So it counts from now on. Every match is important.
Look at me, the Ultra. Look at me, this one. Look at me, this crowd.
You're already crazy.
Wow, wow, wow!
And that's going to be it, all day long.
And just before entering this day,
he did it yesterday, he's going to do it today too.
He wanted to say hi to himself.
Ladies and gentlemen,
GO!
GO!
They have won yesterday, in the best possible score.
I think we have taken the same thing for today, Camel.
It's incredible, every day.
Thank you, thank you.
I told you, Camel, you have to see, the images of yesterday have made everyone happy.
I don't hear you, Frérot.
I don't hear you, Frérot.
I don't hear you, Frérot.
I was saying that Camel wanted to see the images of the world.
I don't hear it, bro, I don't hear it.
Yes, it turned the world around.
We talked about the US side, we also talked about the Asian side with Korea.
There are also Korean players who are put in value.
Do you feel happy to have a small event like this that goes to the international, that even comes out of Europe?
It makes me happy to have all these people in front of me.
Thank you for coming once again today.
And I don't even need to tell them, each time I ask them, but they do the same thing.
They shock the whole earth. I saw tweets from Korea, from the United States.
We also want that, but no, no, no. Here we are at home, guys!
We are at home!
Incredible.
We are at home!
We are at home, we are, we are, we are at home
How do you want to lose with an energy like this one?
I even heard that some of you left the C at the U-Pur to come and play here on this scene
It's not that crazy, and I understand it, but there is a lot of courage
They are afraid, they are afraid, well like yesterday I just wanted to say hello
I hope you are going to have an excellent day like yesterday
And I hope that we will go and get this second victory
I count on you to make a maximum of noise throughout the day
And that's it, it's the Arenes! Second day!
Thank you, Kamedo, who will go down to the box!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go ladies and gentlemen for the first match!
The first match of the day, they offered good things yesterday!
But they fell on a little too big piece!
It allowed them to take their mark here at the Arenes!
of this particular energy.
New day, new fights,
they will be able to unload all the frustration.
But my friends,
we're done!
With the top player,
Maitre,
in the jungle,
Relic,
in the corner of the arena,
but be careful, they left with a win yesterday that did them some good
but what we are saying is that they are opponents who haven't found their hands yet
now it will be something else, it is surely the turn of the season for them
they will go up, they will confirm, we will know
The D.I.E.T.
With on the top lane, on P.O.S.
In the Junkers, Razor
On the corner of Milena
R.I.E.
On Carly, A.T.S.
And on C.P.O.A.
Flowspaaaaaa
But also with Floreco de Sistar, with Rats and Gaz, everything is still possible for Natyj, everything is still possible.
Are you ready, Josef?
And we're going for the first match of the show!
Up set gets the cheese and mixed vibes from all rather too fanatic.
The crowd is here out in force again as Casey, later today, will look for their fifth win in a row.
Being undefeated, but for now they sit and settle the watch to see if fanatic can keep it up.
As they win again, shifters yesterday was a bit mixed, but hey, a win to win.
Yeah, I think if you look at fanatic it was, hey, we're going to come out, take our hands off the wheel.
We're going to play for the late game, let shifters make mistakes and all the beat can beat them in that way.
That isn't going to be the case against Na'Vi.
We saw yesterday against KC.
How strong Na'Vi could be in those early stages.
You need to find a way for Na'Vi to shut that down.
I mean, on the side of the coin you got to say that
for Na'Vi it was disappointing because it had good early game
versus KC yesterday but couldn't really convert it into anything.
Obviously a lot of the words going around were
hand stiff for KC.
We just had how well they played mid game.
I think that's really difficult, you know,
when you go up against the strongest team here
but also has the moral backing of the crowd.
How hard it was for Navi to actually convert that into anything yesterday as we saw on stage?
Yeah, I think it's also just again, you're kind of seeing that Navi are just that one step away from being in those top teams, right?
And I think this weekend for a lot of people was looking at them to see okay, where can we see you contest with some of those upper echelon teams?
And unfortunately, they fell a little flask here against Fanatic though. I think a bit of an easy or time for them.
So I'm waiting to see exactly what they do brings the table because I think this is a match where we can see Navi come alive once more.
This is a match as you said that which showed that Navi are capable of maybe breaking into that top four, at least getting into the conversation.
Obviously towards the end of the split, teams are leveling up, then you have this weird amygma like G2 that are in the mix as well and you think, okay, where's Navi truly sick?
This fanatic matchup has to be a win for us to have confidence, otherwise this team, they'll move to 4 and 3 and be in a bigger question.
I think it's still hard for them to try and match that answer though of like are they top four because vitality G2
KC M-point we still have as you know top four in the league
Yeah, and now it becomes a case of K. You're probably sitting in fifth and sixth
And for a squad that had such high hopes coming off of versus I think that was the real question
But yeah as we start to get on into drafts
We'll have to see exactly what their game plan is here to try and take down fanatic
I really want to see now be again show us the dynamics outside of dragon
We've talked a lot about it in recent weeks
Are they more than a two-dimensional team that is just going to play for that box up at the dragon stacking to build around their composition?
Well, can we see more strengths in individual lanes as well?
Pick and ban has started and we're about to show that on your screen as well
But for now note that Tharys has gone Nordlas has gone Orianna Pantheon of the takeaways here
Means things like the Ryze Silvival which Coby has played in the past and likes to play
That's actually going to be the final ban here from Fnatic as well as the five going on blue side from Navi
Yeah, so question marks now see exactly what the game plan is going to be we've noticed that especially for an Abbey
There's been a huge focus on having those pushing lanes things like you the archsurfing minutes support that
Pushing the maze so then reletch can play his bruiser stall champions in the jungle if they don't get us
Things start to look a little shaky. So that's the exact with the game plan is it's fanatic
But I need to turn towards a rumble for imperious
Well rumble is well-taken away from main set now remember main set
a bit of a nop, like tanks as well.
I think of the Jarvan is definitely fanatic
which means the rumble is open and available
but also things like the Ashe-Aerophine,
the Karma has to be called in question,
which has been a high priority recently.
Yeah, that's the thing, like Karma's still up and available,
the Ashe-Aerophine is still there.
Ashe-Aerophine, I think the J4 lock-in
is basically trying to force you away
from the Ashe-Aerophine
in towards things like the Karma-Aerophine.
Maybe even the Azir in the mid-lane as well
as that's one of the few peaks that we've seen in the mid-lane
that still has a fair amount of that mobility
that can match the Jarvan, but there's that Ezreal Karma,
probably the arched therefin to match here
on the opposite side, and then it becomes much more about
this kind of pushing back and forth on bot lane
and trying to enact some pressure
on the bottom lane to win out there.
And also taking that off the board
in this best of three would be nice considering
that has been a bit of a fringe fit
moving into the second.
There you go, you call it, Dagger.
A bot lane is sorted out here for both teams,
pretty standard in the current meta.
Well, now if you think about what jungles
they can potentially take, or safe blind in the mid,
you're alluding to before.
They could have easily go further in there if they wanted to.
Some of them can match at least the Jarvan early,
but obviously the Cataclysm can keep them in place
a little bit in teamfights, so not always it,
but it works very well with the Karma,
so you can see that he's gonna be the game plan here.
Relèche on something that can be a little bit
active in the skirmish is,
with that support from the Karma, is very, very potent,
and that seems to be Navi playing into that style
that they look.
I wanna see how Pogby facilitates this even further.
His rise has already taken off.
there's no Orianna either.
When I look at Pobie, I've seen Aurora, I've seen Victus,
Aries, it's not like he's one dimensional himself.
We even saw the Ziggs yesterday too,
which I can't look like it was gonna find success,
but again, the mid game came into question
and Nabi kind of fell apart.
Let's see where Pobie goes today
as we've got a Narban and Azir from Nabi too.
That's showing in here.
So the Narban means that we're probably gonna see
Fnatic first pick for Imperos
and keep up Longpick then actually
floor of Ladi in the middle. More than likely looking at something like the scion or even
if you really wanted to, like if her netton band comes in next, I could be looking at something
like an imbesa, which can function well in this sort of dive-oriented style with the
Jarvan. Otherwise, I think you have an option here to try and take something like the
Aurora for yourself nice and early, but you see Navi basically reading with the
Narban. Chances are they're going to start looking for these blindable top laners
from Pirro Sea.
We're trying to think about what else left. We saw the rumble hovered before.
As you said, you know, we could go down the ambassador track if we get a Renekton ban here
for the top lane as well.
Remembering again, we had that conversation about getting bloody that last pick for Fnatic.
What's it going to be?
Because my biggest worry is like, okay, so they actually banned the ambassador themselves.
This says that Amperus probably wants to go some sort of tank, maybe something like
the Cassante.
Just take that and be happy in the top side and then basically see what Navi are going
to try and do here.
options are the Aurora or try and answer if it's something that is a bit more
predictive but I think you can just take the Aurora here you've got good damage
with both the Ezreal and Karma setup, you can poke from range, she's got multiple
different angles and then you can waste on this counter pick formator here.
That's good to say it's a great idea isn't it because again you leave it as a
flex you think that you're saying the rumble's out and about so it is kind
of protecting yourself against this multifaceted approach from Fnatic and
And then the only question we have is, okay, what are they going to give to Vlad to give him options here for the mid lane?
What are they going to pull for top, as you said, an engage tool?
Is it going to be the Cassante?
It feels like the answer will just end up being yes.
It's also a nice takeaway from Mainter in the series.
Because when I think of Mainter, I think of this guy as like a safe tank player, as a bit of a role player for the team.
And that is one of the picks that I have seen success on in the past.
Yeah, and I think here you're just going to respond to something that can outrange the Aurora for Fnatic.
They say look, we're gonna be happy with the victor. We have a lot of zone control that we can work with here already
But like slows can follow up on we can work a lot through that
So let's have that late game teamfighter in the victor that could try and follow through and now on that he got options
Right, you could end up going for something like the JCS your friend really spicy
Well, I've seen for Mainter as you just said is which more of the tanks
So now that's where I'm curious if they really want to start to push the boat with Mainter's champion pull
It's something we saw from in the RL
that he's willing to play these more curry orientated picks but is he willing in this draft to do his book there you go
And yeah locked in
Yes, Casey blue top laner is gonna pull out the queen in game one versus empress
And you know today, I mean there is gonna be a bit of support for upset
But I think it's well for main to for all the work he did in the URLs
This again, he could pop off and really get the crowd revving for today's matchup
Yeah, very much so. Just mean though, you kind of want a lot of focus up towards that top side, at least when it comes towards vision.
Letting Mainter be able to play aggressive in this Grand Matchup, so that then he can look for turret plates, he can look for trade heavily.
If not, it does get a little dicey as Razor can be very proactive towards that top half of the map, so I'll be curious to see what Razor's early path he looks like here, kind of level 1 to 3.
And then for Naby, I mean, strong pushing lanes, boss, the ability to try and play around to the score in the mid lane.
I think you've got a lot of things that Navi liked in their drafts.
Well, I mean, Navi, I see agency, I see the ability to pop up as you're talking about.
I liked that you started with Fnatic here and we talked about some kind of like, well,
calm collective game one draft.
Because I see Blighty on 12 and 4 on the victor in the LEC.
I see Comfort for a man that is constantly getting booed by this crowd as we are starting
game one with a pause so we're going to chill for a little bit longer.
It is a good way to start out the day. Get the pause about now.
So we don't muck around in the KC series.
Yeah, you take it easy, you know, but still, like, fanatic pauses.
Oh, no.
And they're the ones that initiated the pause.
Come on.
Still, though, like, I do...
From what we've seen, success with fanatic, where they can just play for its hate.
Strong bot lanes for upset that we can look to try and have him with a lead and then play into teamfights
Yeah, this draft kind of fits that person and it does yeah, and my biggest concern is I think we're fanatic of looks
Best is when they have the ability to try and interact with side lanes relatively effective
You know J4 can do that
But I think things like the Pantheon have really worked well for them
And so I want to see Razork being really active in this early stage like ganking for top lane
I was trying to shut down this grand early, so she never really hits that late game.
And then playing into the bottom side as well, it is a little bit tough to try and lock down
some D, but if you can make some plays on towards Paris, burn that flash early, this
car will become so much more vulnerable in that bottom side.
Well, headed hard for game one as I was told it was just Fnatic fixing some player
settings, so no biggie, we're finally into game, no more means of sight, and nothing
less Fnatic. A quick reminder of what's on the line for you all at home. Fnatic
This fighting win yesterday was crucial, if they lost against shifters, their chances of hitting playoffs would be so much harder than it already is.
If they can win against Na'Vi today, moving to 3-3 before their last game of the weekend tomorrow versus KC, then you think it will.
Actually, Tnatic might have a chance of getting playoffs on what was a very negative start at this point.
Especially, as you say, against Nadi, another team that they're battling for that 5th-6th
place slot with will be so crucial.
So I think this for Fnatic could give a lot of wind in their sails and I mean they've
already taken down some hard opponents like they had that win over G2, the first one that
they picked up on this play.
And with the win yesterday, this could start a little bit of a success story for them
but we'll have to see if they can manage it.
Razor going for the cross, this has not been spotted out yet, there's some good
defensive wards or at least aggressive wards from Fnatic.
On the other side of the roulette, if he goes and crosses for top, it does mean again that
Mpros will be on weak side, a quick side note for you all at home, and this guy's on the
kasanpe, right? This guy right now is going to have to once again play on the weak side
because he's going to have no prior on the map. But the thing is this, it lets you come in as
Jarvan in behind that pushing bot lane, and they have zero ideas, so this go very quickly,
turn into a gank on the bottom side, as Razorq will have picked up three camps,
and is beelining for this bottom lane now.
Level 3, did just use the flag though.
Which means that you can see there,
six seconds before he can make this play happen.
But he's got a lot of time, Dagger, I'm glad you pointed it out,
because Navi is so deep in the lane,
and Fnatic, this chase is going to be super easy.
Flash, what's going to be burned first?
Slow down under Paris, the coming, he said.
Can be abused, the flag, and Dragon's head, Sandi.
Arcane shifts back, no summoners for the gank,
and Fnatic get next to nothing.
I think that was a mistake from Razor.
Burning the flash of Paris is so worth it in this sort of scenario because it means that you can no longer
Push up effectively is the karma and have that safety tool
He tried to get cheeky and go for some D
But Sam D reacted they're relax could try and use this control that he has to look for a play
There's no war. There's no way place by Roswell. It's gonna be a deep gang
Fanatic no hang on we could be in trouble because the red buff was taken
Relent in the right place the right time the slower day on the lot
but again his flash, that's burst, wind becomes lightning, none will be all, but the difference
is Navi at least got a summoner, Ryzewalk's coming back for round two, for a flag and
drag with his flash still up and available, the thought is there for Fnatic's jungle wanting
an engage, but again, if he walks in, doesn't get too much.
I think they were hoping that Upside would be able to land that volley, which would
then set up for another E from Rostver, but Navi just a little bit at a range, and
as you say, flash beam burnt is far more valuable in this bottom lane, and already
you can see both junglers want to get influence in this bot lane.
For Dagger, I will say, you know, Reledge getting his own red buff is nice.
There's a bit of an attempt to invade. Obviously, blue's not there.
Topside camps for Razor. What does this mean? Is this an advantage? Razor? Or what's the
temp I thought of him? So, I like the way Razor has played this.
So, essentially, what he's gone is taken bot crab, gone into his jungler's head.
I'm actually not going to do the bottom. I'm going to steal away this topside crab.
Has the smite to take this, which would then deny Reledge.
That's a flash for the Camino, looking for the knockup on the Razork.
He's in a bit of trouble, he's probably going to come off the escape path.
Over all, there's that flag and drag, but sending in everything as well.
The Weeding, waiting for it. The Flash, not even burned in auto.
There it is, the Weeding, but not enough damage.
Surround found from Lospa, and he is a block from Nabe.
But even here, Razork is going to stick and clear these camps.
And look at the reset that's come through from Relech.
He's not trying to clear the camps.
So Razork is gonna stay ahead on everything right now.
He will be spotted on that ward,
which maybe will give Razork a little bit of info
about how he can try and change his path to punish this.
But the fact that Razork got both crabs,
two camps in Relentious Jungle,
and Relentious Fanlultin is massive for a Fernand.
Up the bot with a bit of a whiff again.
It's all about that jungle popping.
It's all about the gold you can pick up
from your own side.
He takes Krugs and Deccan.
What I love about Razork here,
he's not being greedy with the rainbow.
He's low, as you were saying. He's going to back off now and look for the reset to either go for Bob for his clear there,
which it looks like he is, and then clears way up.
Yeah, he's going to clear his way back up. Should be able to basically clear both grump and wolves then shift into red
as his Kroge and Raptors are respawning, which means that then he can reset, have a nice timing and try and get play for the bottom side.
But it does also mean that Ralech now, very far behind when it comes to experience, because as you can see, he's going to clear Raptors here,
clear his Krugs his level 5 but won't be anywhere near close enough to try and get
towards that level 6 mark off of clearing it to Skodokrab as well. So
everything just kind of a little bit topsy-turvy now for Ralech. It's a shame
again it was looking like a nice start after Fnatic couldn't get anything in
the bottom lane and as Ralech clears upwards as well will keep a bit of an
eye on this jungle interaction because they are starting to approach level
Five just hit for both Reletch and Razork with a camp lead still for Razork to take note of while the rest of the lanes right now looking topsy-turvy
That's a one good thing to say about Navi here seriously top and then Bob and push in top and mid
So this is where you're seeing Reletch now go for them babe. Yeah red buff is gone
He's gonna try and go for the respawn of these camps, but they're not quite open available
Now you'll see the thread has been taken
Realizes oh Razork sorry cleared it out
He's going to go for the scuttle crab in response to this because he's got the pushing lanes
But it's kind of just a lot of time where you can't really do particularly much for his razor of now moving to the bottom side
Realizing faces it. I'm going to give up scuttle crab to go for this play knowing that I can get my blue buff
It does mean Reletch can go for scuttle into a potential invade because you'll have the respawn timers here
And this could actually give reletch the time to catch up in the experience that he's lost
We'll be spotting awards with Fnatic, know exactly what he's doing.
Fnatic playing for the Dragon is
Pavel's going to dodge away from the B-drop so no stun.
But Dragon's stacking for Fnatic,
a style of how they used to play their focus down here,
takes Navi out of their comfort zone,
which we talk about week after week,
and puts Fnatic well and truly on the board here for the objective game.
Yeah, I wasn't sure for that to try to go through the crooks on the topside as well.
Might have been a little bit greedy as the Dragon was going down and resets for Hoppening.
Clean worlds, looking for the first, but actually just going to go for the wave.
Gravity field down, maybe jumps away with the last of his mana bar, and that'll give him a nice reset timing while Vladdy deals with the wave.
The thing though is, look at where the junglers now are going to be pathing, right?
You're seeing that Xin Zhao pathing down towards that bottom side to pick up his camps,
whereas you're getting the reset now for Ryzer, where he can move back into that top half of the map,
and you've got Krugs now in 45 seconds as well, so Ryzer will be able to be on the top half of the map,
which is significantly better for him, and Andy's just got that reset in.
So for Relec, he kind of needs to clear these spawning camps to the bottom side, match the reset and then go top.
So Fanatic have set themselves up now to get both the dragon and being in a good position, especially with that bot lane rotation, to now look for brubs as well.
And tonight away from a Gwen too, just an added a little tidbit as nothing uses time to get pushed in the bottom lane.
There's going to be two plates as Emperos can't really do too much and just get pushed down in the process.
As you said, Razzilg is parking, what's quite neat at the moment is the flick back is nice and all in from Empros on the power of the 1v2.
Park making true damages there, but he's been off a little bit too much, a stunning incoming, but he's just out of range.
Shoot shot parry, it does tag and doesn't tag Empros is the main thing as the Kasantay is all out.
Empros got very close to getting the combo he wanted.
Shubin powers back into the tower and then ulting, but it means that he's now very low health.
We've missed the start of this wave, has to burn his TP in towards his play as well,
whereas Mainter should be able to open his wave if he needs to to clear it out,
pick up the majority of us and still have that TP.
So the play attempt from Enhrose means that he does end up losing a little bit
and then Ralech wants to contest.
He's not discharged on a crab, and that win becomes lighting doesn't attack Brazor,
because he's just hovering around.
One grub taken at the very least, for what it's worth for Fnatic.
At least it will be all free denied away from the Gwen.
So Reledge good timing does get two grubs in the end and now covers Mainter and he tries to push in that top way
Need to work actually gonna stop the back as well into the brush. Oh, yeah, okay barrier
So not gonna get that a second year work to do any work
But hey the very least next menu wave takes a third and main team will still have free push up in top
Yeah, and remember he still has that tipi as well
So they'll enter can stick around trade it very heavily in this top side and then look for the reset and pick up an
for themselves so for me to I think he's in a pretty happy spot with the way that
bot lane play went and I'm gonna just go back to a little bit of bases and then
Pears wants to try and interact here.
Little sort of base, maybe just kites it back.
Razork is up here so on this ward once again maybe a little bit greedy with the bases.
Razork's moving up, unaware to Narvi, stop again, all out, it's not available to
shit but it's getting close.
Yeah, Peros should have the flick back here, Maitre.
Maitre, Cataclysm flash away.
And two great backs now. This will be the third one under turret
with a lot of time wasted for the top laner of Narvik.
We'll have the TP to get back. Flash to get is nice.
I think they could have comboed up better where Peros went for the flick back
and forced the flash that way for Maitre, but still, you get the flash.
There's no real objective on the map for another minute, 50.
So we'll have the Cataclysm back up and available.
So back to kind of where things have all kicked off from this though.
You've now got some control on the top side because the heroes went for the play where you've got a little gold lead there
The jungle relaxes managed to make that comeback because rather spent the time that he had and a little bit more on getting his dragon
Which means that then you've got as relaxed to steal away some of the camps and a bot lane with the route reset
We had are the set of rotation that we had now the get a little gold lead because they got turret plates
And they pushed in first away
So even though fanatic have very much been the ones kind of making plays
It hasn't really netted them what they were hoping for in a lot.
It's been quite stale in that as well.
I feel like there's been a little bit thrown, but not much gained outside of like our individual
thoughts about Razor, outside of the lanes that we've seen have kind of been going naturally.
I argue that bot has probably gone a little bit better because of the attention down there,
but still regardless, like Mainzer in the isolated matchup is 10 CS up.
But shout out to EPROS who are just talking about being a bit of a weak side king.
He's often down so much gold as we get to the 14-minute mark.
But this game, only being down 5 to 10 CS against a Gwing when you're being isolated again a lot of the game, I think it's quite valuable, I think it's quite well done.
Well I think the main problem was him trying to make that play on the bottom side of the lane. It went well, fantastic, but like it was a risk and unfortunately didn't quite work out.
It doesn't mean too much like it is on his light gold lead, but it definitely gave me a little bit of a nice recess, those kind of things.
And the next protocol though is going to be this 15 seconds until we get over towards the dragon
And that's where my eyes are starting to drift on. Okay, how are these pushes going because Andrew karma still a ton of control on this bottom side of the map
Yeah, you're getting good control on a potential play in mid here
Reletch making himself known
Bloody disconnect under bloody under tarot. This is a little bit risky runs out of the gravity fuel bow
And reletch is okay, but the pope from bloody is quite nice considering that dragon is the next port of call
However, the netics bottom line are backing off and now we will have to rid of it themselves
Your eyes are going to vary late recess, things that he's not in a position to do it.
Again, it was clearing up towards that top side, also looking to try and shadow in Pyrrhoz,
so not in a position to try and follow here.
He's not having, should you have to get this drake with at least some control,
even the reset from Bloody Queen?
Ten for Pyrrhoz that. See for now, he just throw a long shot.
Chances are, probably not a long shot.
You can see Dragon pulled out, Sandeak over the wall going to contribute,
contributed and this early game continues to be a bit of a lull. And that's okay, you know.
It's only game one. It's an important game in series that will matter so much in the
grand scheme of things in the LEC. And Paris does get arrowed and has to flash away.
There we see there's a ball of call continuing to be answered by a drag. Reletch,
freeing game, pulls out the present guard. But the ball is going to be dropped and turned
into an on-court. Lospis says, come on. Reletch just walks it out half HP and that's
about it is now they just walked away and I didn't try once with the wind so
instead they end up back in the way so I mean gonna be happy out I mean at this
stage they get the dragon they got to keep control sure bars parts have to
bring the flash but they're getting a very slight goal lead and a lot of these
lanes now just abusing their sheer lane power like look at that bot lane like
Sandy kind of sitting around that 700 mark when it comes towards the gold
lane and it's gonna continue to push in get more plates and just keep more
pressure on towards Upset. Now that duck, it has been 14 minutes 25 seconds in the
past this split for the latest first flood. Everyone tuck in your boots. We've
got another 50 seconds to break records. Here in the LEC that's all we did. We break
records. First Gwen for Mainter in the LEC, like bomb record. Latest first flood,
bomb record. Paris walks over a gravity field, that's science for you.
And he's gonna walk it out, but getting so enough is flighty. Well first turret might just be falling here at the 14 minute mark
Yeah, you do remember that we cast the game for a while the hell the record for the latest first blood ever in League of Legends history
Oh, that was like 20 something minutes. Oh, yeah, 25 minutes 32 minutes
a little bit now don't care about the killer care about the latest first blood
is MPOS walks away from the snips now that's just down make it gonna hold on
to the life fanatic back off and ladies and gentlemen 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
but look I think it's if I'm not me this makes a lot of sense I don't
I don't really want to interact a huge amount of park from 19 mile lanes through the things
that they're supposed to write and you're getting terrors.
You're getting pressure on the map.
You're hoping up that code lead, whereas when you look across the fanatic, I feel like
they kind of want to get the ball rolling a little bit with Razor.
But just kind of quite been able to maybe fishing for it here though.
And you one big play coming up at the 15 minute mark where Lester and Razor see
each other level advantage of a reletious flag and drag.
Razork out of there, and we continue to think Rift Herald has just spawned. She wants to join in and say what up, car?
And it's true, Sheparaj has a bit of damage to upset midway comes in and that's gonna be all about the subjectives, Rilex will start it off.
He's gonna know that he has kind of control over mid now with the Ezra Kramath and the pushing top.
I mean, he's been moved back down to the bottom side to try and cover it, so again,
that'd be just kind of plain slow through these lanes and making sure that they're picking up a lot.
And this is why it's kind of on now.
Ryzork and Fnatic, to find these plays, you've got the tools,
you've got the ult on the ash, you've got this cataclysm,
and you sit a flash down for Paris,
but they just haven't found those moments to really capitalise on this.
Not as well. Maybe the Herald will open things up and speed it up a little bit.
I mean, as we were saying, it took a gold leaf in RV.
It has been chill. As you said, they don't care.
They don't want to...
They don't really need to force themselves into any position here.
They're quietly taking over control of this game,
Gwen inside lane who is constantly just isolated here. What a dream!
Any top laner in solo queue knows. If you're playing a carry matchup and you don't have that much jungle attention and granted there were two ganks, but like to no avail, you're laughing in this game.
Hoping that yeah, okay, they'll leave me alone for a little bit longer or I can continue to survive, get two or three items and then how's it going to deal with me?
I hope you just thought it was a way for me to wrap you up.
Yeah, once you start to get like the Nashor's tooth and that built in here like you're in such a good spot as mentor. So
Again, I think they just kind of chill and I mean
For Navi, I think this is a bit of a different style from what we've seen them in the past
Like traditionally it is a lot of fighting skirmishing invading
Trying to play for these scraps around relapse to get him into positions where he can be
Monstrous on the zahan or on towards any of the like a trucks is in these bruises that he's playing
This isn't really what we're seeing. It's a much much more chilled version of abbey and then calls into question
Okay, well what does their late game decision-making look like yeah, because it's how it's kind of bit funneled into play for dragons because we have leads
Yeah, but they still can't 25 seconds until the next dragon's up
But is it now more of a let's try and play for macro let's try and play for taking towers and trading across lives
I think as well off yesterday. There's probably like a lot of step back and
and let's kind of review like what were our mistakes yesterday right okay we had
good early games and this this has been by all the early gamers where I thought
gets out of there and how do we transition that you were discussing
before how do we transition that that's always a difficult question and I'm
trying to sound like a philosophy but you know the point is like in a calm
game like this it doesn't seem so hard and you don't have to worry about a
skill check like you did yesterday for KT. I think for Navi it's fairly simple. You have
good push with Escarma on mid lane. Fantastic. Let's use that to reposition both the Karma
and the Sinzel as a pair towards side lanes or towards, you know, getting vision. And
that's kind of what we're seeing here, right? Yeah. They get push, they still have the
Rift tower if they want to use it, but they're more focused on dipping into fog
of war and just creating pressure on the map because then it's right broken lost,
but you have to try and match that. I think it was very difficult to do so when
you're not entirely sure where that combo from Navi's going.
The Ripterals should get a decent charge on mid.
I think that should be enough to net the dragon as well.
But if Fanatic don't really feel like they're in a position
to contest here, so it may just be a dialogue
towards his top side.
With Paris now shifting across to try cover for that dive.
Maitre looks like he's on the edge of running away.
He stays for the wave.
Brad's also gonna try again.
Good point with the Calfsball, maybe some blood,
but again, Brad looks like I'm not staying for this.
Towson does about half the HP and Poby now teleports in.
Relation, Sam Deere, thinking about a dive.
Undamned, wind becomes light in present guard.
Upset about to glide to the flash auto.
18 minutes 45, wakes up the crowd.
The flash in gets it.
Ryzer quest respond to Sam Deere.
Like a drag, I catch it bumping,
he gets the present guard and rather excuse me,
the cataclysm shut down.
One ball on, finally, we're starting to get this ball rolling.
Tildo, Nabi got the middle end turret.
They protected the topside.
And with the emperors moving up from river, means he doesn't really get the pressure and the push onto that pot lane tower as well.
So, in the grand scheme of things, Navi's still getting more control and we get to see the play here as Upset not ready for the flash forward, but the wind becomes lightning.
Sam D, knowing how the Sheen proc flashed forward gets the kill onto Upset, but with that flash down, he is very vulnerable to the pints that is coming in from Razor.
Using the catechism guarantees that the Ezra is locked down with that arcade ship just gone and it's just cleaning up the scraps for them.
Well, SanD does get the first blood and I was told by production that the latest first blood that we didn't get to experience obviously here today.
In history of LEC it was 28 minutes. That was in 2017.
We were 10 minutes off that guy. 10 minutes.
Which is crazy to think about.
I am okay with not setting that record today.
I'm alright, you know?
You and me both.
So, we got our two kills.
It's like the entree.
But the main course surely has to be
the beef filet mignon
a good couple of sliders
and some good cheese
to add in the mix.
How do we get there?
Well, the secret sauce is going to be, well, maybe
catching Razzarok.
Maybe between World Series and Razzarok,
he's going to fly.
from Rilech, starts off, wouldn't become blinding another,
they should charge in, there's a win again,
true surprise, great damage, the burst from Botey,
flashes forward, a fanatic ascent, Crockin,
away blinding, gets to the network,
he's right in his face, slip to death,
Mainta makes a dive, easy, and now Lee again on the board,
more and more, did it work, dodge away to some rounds,
then Botey wants to find a target,
but going immune is Gwen's specialty,
is Mainta dodges away, walks it out,
Baron now on the cards, no rattle for 20 seconds
and just like that, now he might move this to 4k.
An attempt at a pick goes wrong for Fanatic and it's Naby for now on the objective.
Poby's very low on mana for this play though.
He is, but it still could be a travel over the wall, tries to poke out.
Baron's still being questioned, thought about Razor graphing five, buying time.
Fanatic is on exactly that.
Naby pull-off, health was low.
Mana from Poby, Baron won't go down, but at the very least his play will.
Razor realizes he's gone too far in the river.
Naby makes a pick, a break with Mikhail from Paris to set up there for Poby on the follow-up.
Reletched knowing he's able to chase these down and you can see on the map like
Now they have multiple members in this top side that can immediately response to play whereas this slow TP
Is the maiden jungle are gone from fanatic before they can really make any sort of play so I'm place
It goes over regardless Baron is left up to be a question
I'm fanatic now hovering around the area main to get to push in top lane with the top turret that is soon to go down
But Vlad is going to receive the Wave Vault.
Mante kind of peeled off, wanted to play extra carefully with all that attention.
Topside who doesn't overextend, gets a vision instead and now is getting covered by Paris
while the Dragon is up in 130 to be thought about next.
But the thing is, you can start to see those gold leads at the bottom of your screen.
1.3K in the jungle, 1.2K in the 80 car roll.
The last bastion of hope is going to be Vladdy on this victor.
This is a champion that Vladdy is incredibly strong at.
It's a champion that he made his name on when he first came into the LEC last year with Carmen Coro and now in their arena
He is to see if he can once again sound strong on this pick and see if Fnatic can find something
But the window looks so small
So far away for him to find much when the team has just fallen apart from cycling
It's just such a difficult game again Fnatic have really struggled and I think being fair doctor like
Razlok made a lot of attempts, but it just never linked up, it never synced up.
And outside of the one play that worked with Flutty, obviously that was around mid-lane after the flush was burned,
everything else had been super quiet from Fnatic.
As you look at the damage, Flutty has done a hell of a lot of work trading this game.
He's trying.
And I think Flutty's had the wrong shake at a fair source spot, you know?
A bit of an annotation of Australian wording.
Australian wording. What I mean is, I think Bladdy has been, you know,
criticised a lot on this team when he has had some miraculous plays and in some
games has been a nice little benchmark for me. Dagon, that's my personal opinion
not everyone agrees with it, but I think games like this are another example
where what Bladdy can be and has been in the past in our league.
Yeah, I think he definitely has his champions that he can't perform on
and for me, Victor is one of them, but this is a very hard
matchup to try and step up. It is.
Navi already in position on this dragon, Razor trying to step forward,
but Navi control the area.
They're gonna just trade for Vladdy
getting positioning on this top chair.
Again, trying to funnel resources into the victor
in the hopes that he can try and carry.
But this is now free dragons, double infernal for Navi.
And with the amount of poke they have
between the Ezreal and the Aurora,
this dude was very scary.
Russell face champion, he does get knocked up
before the flag and drags with the buffer works out.
He'll take a blast, kinda get out of there
as giving the inspire and takes relapse
over the wall, flag and drags in front of this fight,
poke his head, cataclysm and flash out.
Razzle, I don't know why he waited so long for that,
but Rillard's got to go for a ride.
But for him, he will probably burst down
a Seraphine off the side.
Baron is being thought about again,
I think this sign is even better for Navi.
It's falling apart for Fnatic.
Navi are finding these picks.
And just like that, it looks like it's a doomed game.
They will get pushed and made,
and Ladi TP bought to get a tower,
but they're silver linings
on an ever-darkening sky for Fnatic.
4.5k, this will be a brilliant addition of gold to Narvae, the arrow is going to come in, it does stop the stun up main turf, but to no avail with the splash damage on the Baron, purple worm is down, and we'll have a look again, because Jack of Razzle here, he waited on the Baskerv, thinking what, another Eve from Reledge is coming?
I really don't know. So what's the thinking I wasn't sure if he was kind of like trying to spot if you could help out last
Good before he took us and but ended waiting so long that as he says in the gun into position was able to follow up the
Interrupt from the knock up was heartbreaking for Razark and that one and now Navi
Firmly in control with this bar and it should be able to crack these outer turrets off of the next couple of pushes and
Then fall back in three minutes time to that inferno soul for them
It is a horrible time for Fnatic, but they were hoping to buy space and buy this opportunity for Vlad to get towards something like that rather than a death card, but again that timer is just gone now.
And again, he's the only one with a bit of gold, I think, in comparison to his late opponent, but even then, Poby just picking up another kill, now moving in over gold for what feels like one of the first times in this game.
The rest of Navi is so far ahead it's crazy. It is criminal.
how well I think Navi played in the mid game, we question them like
can they really hold their ground and show stability? Obviously it's a different opponent
to yesterday, but so far so good, it's between worlds on the bloody, they're gonna find the target,
found out again when becomes Lighting doesn't connect from Relentious Storm Search,
just tags him down from the sky, Lighting out half HP, his cataclysm in runs up, finds a knockup,
it's nice, the on-cores of two man, the arrow on top, the CC from Fnatic, who finally makes
Sands! A chaos storm that grows only bigger. In the eye he tries to send it towards Sandi as Nabi.
Sending themselves forward as Sandi arcane shifting and flighty. Still gets chunked out.
They're looking for a fight despite losing their jungler.
Right of the station. Fnatic finding a breath of fresh air as Nabi and stepping forward.
That was Sandi. Into the fire. Notching away from the beat drop. It's important.
Sandi is close to dying. That low health bar. Razok tries to cut him off.
Fnatic want this play. They want the kills. They want control back in this game.
The person will get the tether, the flag is down, but there's no drag.
Now he will be able to escape with Rilech being the only victim.
Still a massive win for Fanatic and Razor with the play.
The CC was perfect. Rilech has the Crescent Guard, but doesn't get a chance.
Knuckle, stunned, charmed, stunned. That man did not get to play the game.
And Fanatic knew they had their moment, especially Sam D.
Stepping up here, upset, manages to get the slow with the follow-up that really puts a punish on T'Nabi.
Because in this position now, at least if they held on, maybe they could have kept this bar and push going.
But by overstepping there and upset punishing, it means that now this bar and buck is going to fizzle.
All the other Terracotta believers are still standing.
Need to work on what's getting upset.
As you said, yeah, there is a little setting going outside of top.
So while the mid lane tier two went down, but the two tier twos in solid lanes end up staying standing.
And then you've got a great position where the bar and buff is fizzling, it's a minute until dragon.
And you may have a chance to try and contest this. You would love for Vladdy to be able to complete that Robert on death cut.
He has to be so close at this stage.
Will it be enough? 700 gold.
That's the lead again, showing you that Bloody really is the core set-up for Fanatic.
Getting that shutdown was massive, but as you pointed out so well in the replay,
Jack, chain-tip-tip, finally they're gonna do it again, dropping the beat,
and the encore, all for one, but it will be worth one for all. It's on to Poby.
He's shut down. Dragons in 30 seconds. Poby up in 50. He'll have the tee-peer to be a part of the play.
And that is a massive pick for Fanatic. They may have just found the
a lingo to hold on in this game and number's advantage of maybe painter as well
fanatic can you get the dragon immediately
Navi they turn towards mid tp to bottom side. That's the robinus death cap for gladi. All right. That's a very strong victor
and navi are in
precarious position for a game that felt like it should have been won with almost six thousand gold in their name true
Chopraage is a great damage, but again, they've got surround sound from lospa. They can heal up
They can sustain, they can find picks with another arrow down, relapsed, caught out, and Nabi are doing it again!
We spot Tsu-su, and then the game starts to crumble, their dragon stacking starts to stop, and Nabi start losing it all bit by bit.
Fnatic, they're sensed up, brought in the water, they know they're in a great spot now.
Minion Wave will be cleared out, but the dragon, the picks, the temple and their favour, this game is not done yet, is there?
There's so many easy tools to pull we've seen, Fnatic finally know how to pull the pieces together.
As you said, the game will go on, Baron's up again in 1 minute 20, but that Dragon's soul being averted.
Give some breathing room to Fnatic, which is much needed.
And you have so much burst power here.
When you play like this is Fnatic, they get that arrow, which is absolutely perfect, but between Gladdy now with the Ravada's death cap,
and this Hex Object build on Upset, his individual auto attacks are much higher than you expect on an Ash.
They completely destroy Rilech before he gets a chance.
I mean, I love Rilech, but that guy has flash and ulti up and available, and he dies with both of them there.
An arrow on the way, and Rilech doesn't pull anything out, so bit of a whoopsy here, and a couple of whoopsies now back to back.
That's what I was going to say, like the pole be getting caught on that side lane, the overextension to initially, with that farm buff, try and get the tier 2.
And then Rilech getting caught there as well. It ends up being a bit of a disaster now.
I think I can understand from a lecture's point of view like do you really want to burn the flash like chances are you're gonna fall anyway and
Maybe you can make a play with it in the next one
That's but it's the lead up to that from from Navi has been messy
And now what was a sizable gold lead down to 3k?
You're starting to hit crucial items for upset like on bloody that we already talked about as well
This isn't looking as clear cut for Navi anymore
It's really not you already pulled out the rabbit on something
I think again when you see four item upsets as you just alluded to or you rather just mentioned
The shredding that's going to come through on these bruises on the Gwent on the Zins out and through the shielding
Is going to feel really nice if upset gets up time alongside this Victor
Well, that's the thing this build is less reliant on the uptime that you would think of traditionally from an ash
When you've got that crack and slayer it's all about having as much attack speed
You can constantly proc that a crack and slayer instead with this build
It's much more about your auto attacks dealing damage innately themselves
Over the course of like a long uptime Kraken Slayer will win house
But if you are only going to get quick burst attacks this build is much stronger and especially against these like well
They can't touch me guys the point is in the out front line where every auto attack has to be weaved in at specific angles
That becomes a really smart build on this. Oh interesting point then it looks like we could be getting a BT last as well
So that partial off time and the extra crit and the damage that set gets to
prove that point a little bit deeper. It's going to be Navi starting the Baron here.
A ward is cancelled out. Razzle goes over the pit for Navi, but Reletch was doing
this solo without any DPS to follow up. Yeah I think it's more just to try and
pull Fnatic into this area to buy space for Main turn on the bottom side.
Just take over to level 19. Hargo's wide, but now Main turn alone on this bottom side.
Reset coming through from Impiros, but Main turn can push this wave,
link up with the rest of team, start Baron, draw a lacking teleport from
And that may be the timing that Navi needs to get this objective.
Can you do anything with it though?
Mprost's TP is about 20 seconds from being up, maybe less.
So after this wave, we'll just keep a track of that for you as
Rivers lined with blue wards right now.
Navi do have control and is up to Fnatic again
to layer that CC and show us that pick potential
that has been catching them back in this game.
Let's note that Dragon is up in a minute 30.
The breathing room disappears when both these neutrals are up at the same time.
same time and the question has to be like are we gonna give up infernal soul or
baron because it does feel like a lot of the case with winning teams they do have
to sacrifice one when you're in that position or rather against it. I think if
I'm fanatic is trying to play for that infernal dragon of the night right that
is such an incredibly strong soul but also the ability to find picks if now
being upsprings in is massive with this composition it's one of the
strengths of Ash therapy the vision it can give you the long range engages so
for fanatic like this is a good spot for them they have pushed on mid they have
mostly controlled over the sidelines at the moment and it's on nabby to try and
break that but it's much more difficult with their composition trying to find
those moments because all you really you're engages is like a win becomes
lightning flash engage from our ledge it's much more difficult to make happen
now note 42nd before dragon a quick item to check for you is that Zeke is
still six for Mainter, but might be his own who's coming on the way back as he returns now. I see a
Blinding Jewel for Poby, and the question is whether he'll be able to upgrade that. I see the makings
of a Shogun here for Sam D most likely to be his fifth item on the Ezreal. Other side that BF
Sword has been advanced so BT close for Upset. Vlad also has a Seekers now as well which I
think is quite important all the victors, victor players out there as TP commences,
Dragons up in five and everyone is both side.
And Abby joined the up position for flank which is what they're told that Poby could get access to the back line.
The Fanatic groupie looked strong using that foot line. Find the space they need now.
Our age?
It's out. Enpros, let's get the flip. Poby is the one that gets flipped back.
Hellfire's right now pretty neutral outside of Enpros's frontlining and taking a lot of damage.
Sandy kites back and they start hitting the Dragon.
Mainzer has an angle but he's found out by Fanatic with a good ward.
EMPROS looking again to zone out 4K, 3K, all with a blip of soul.
It goes down to Fernatic, down to Upset.
For the Crescent Garb, Fernatic getting close.
Brasov cat for them on currently a one man.
It's a messy fight, but I see Nierworth flying and missing and ripping.
He's flying, he's diving into the front line,
and he's dead with flights available.
Upset is it to go down.
As Upset gets the fire down the line.
The squad's ready, the devil's in hand.
EMPROS cuts off the path of escape.
a triple to Upset and Nami thought they had to fight off the Taken Down Blotty
but then they got Upset Upset when a huge player Nurny
able to connect with the Ashlds but it doesn't matter
the Flash in won the fight for Fnatic and just like that it's barren for the Black and Orange
well they'll take it with ease no contest the true shopper Ash maybe
We've seen crazier things than we've got a replay, but DAG DAG!
Bloody, I thought you just threw the entire five, but I was wrong.
No, I mean, playing up here, Mainter trying to get X to the back line,
Upset then kites Up, Razork, beautiful cataclysm to keep Navi away,
but keep your eyes on Upset on the right side of this fight.
Mainter does not have the hot of mist, so Upset flashes in, kills Poby,
takes down Paris, and immediately turns his attention back to the Gwynn
as he comes out of Stasis, a magnificent performance from Upset and thus was the reason Fanatic could do us.
Because Vladdy Dijs was seeking, Dijs was flashing again. I cannot explain this enough.
That Victor Dijen getting one shot looks so good for Na'Vi, but a good call out is in
Chakrasalaro, flies and gets Poby mid jump. That's Stuntime, he's ages! He gets flicked up,
between worlds will save his flight, but Fanatic aren't done, cackles him down,
Fanatic has crested the hell they are pushing in on towards the inhibitor turrets and Navi
You're crumbling this there's so much healing and shielding and tankiness now fanatic and Navi. I mean look at Apparel's
Relentious can't get through him
Not only did he stop the infernal soul win the last fight
He lands an arrow from near mid lane that opens up the pick-up party this on the arrow
He's going to win but the pressure continues on he steps up
Tell me about Upset again with the Guardian Angel now instead of advancing the bloodthirster
and with no fear starts working on this inhibitor turret.
I mean he has so much helium already from LOSPA there because of helium diet and combo
he's so potent.
Athletic know this.
They don't care if they take poke they will survive.
LOSPA don't mean us.
He doesn't get low, he flashes away.
But again there is one target I'm looking at.
Upset is going to be ulted.
The winning goes into G.A.
B.Y.O.L.S.
Free spot on the moment.
moment! Flake is going to make it to Golden again, sitting at the boolean set, set forward,
Major can't deal with him at all, and crosses, kept that back line all the way back in line.
Fnatic now run forward once again, upset of full HP, Baron doing the work,
Navi have got all but two left for Manny, Sandy, Paris might not get hit by an arrow,
but upset, he just can't be stopped, he can't be reached, he can't be poked,
And here it goes again. Fanatic is in the bar on both.
The orders rain true.
Dr. Zett it himself. All he needs is a few.
And I'll set land them with ease.
Fanatic with Navi back into shape, or rather out of, to win game one.
It's a similar story to yesterday for Fanatic.
It was a role for any game, with crucial picks in the mid-game.
And fantastic team-fighting from the superstar, Eddie Curry, nets them the win.
That was Navi's game. That was Navi's game, and Fanatic took it as low as standing by with a very overwhelmed LOSPA, baby.
You know, Spat, they're chasing your name! What did it take to turn the game like this?
I think we had better come for late game. And I know in early game we played really bad,
We knew we were going to win after the game, I mean the late game, so we just played with confidence and that's it.
Confidence in the late game, they knew that with their composition, it was going to be a kind of case.
We stay calm, we stay focused.
Second question, how do they reset it so that the next game is cleaner?
How do you reset for the next game to be more clean, especially in the early game?
I think we should think about when to connect more as a team and we should get position around objective earlier than this
Then we're gonna win easier than this. I think
I'm gonna let you join your team this way. Thank you so much
We're gonna focus really on the little details and especially on the game. For now, I'll leave you for the moment.
There's Camille behind you for the game.
How do you know his name?
Merci beaucoup, Lord.
Great to hear, obviously, some fanatica after that.
Sorry, hang on.
Merci beaucoup.
That's what it means. Thank you very much for me.
I don't want... Merci beaucoup.
Man, look. He's French.
Merci beaucoup.
He's French, guys.
I have an idea.
He is a French.
Listen, listen.
Listen I don't know what was worse the first 27 minutes of that game or your friends because this is the question I had
Why why why why why did fanatic do so many things?
We had questions about the draft we had questions about early pathing
We had questions about what they were even doing in the early game
I felt like that for the first 27 minutes
We were like so fanatic is going to lose this game basically by doing nothing
And then they win
And then they win the game!
Fnatic then won that!
I don't want to say this because actually being Na'Vi is a kind of compelling team,
but they really look like shifters in this game.
They completely look like a shifter's masterclass here by Na'Vi because we were hyping them up.
We've seen their early games and we're like, wow, they're just winning their lanes.
They had like a 1.7k goalie that 14 minutes, strictly by laning.
But then they got bored!
But like, sorry, but I gotta talk about a couple things, right?
Because, so let's put some things into context.
The things that we talked about right first of all the early gank from Jarvan, right?
He tries the gank bot lane completely fail right?
He then has to path up to top the Jarvan now
Changes his pathing from top to come back to contest the bot crab
Then we argued about the fight over the second grab remember we were like he's watching him
He could contest the second grab and then there's also the swap that happens what we were like
Why did they swap they got one grub lost the next two?
I'm gonna stop you because I feel like this game was like a fever. There's a lot of moments
They did not end up mattering this game. We just kept going. Why is fanatic doing this?
Why is fanatic doing that? Why does fanatic keep doing these things and then like
Once they lost like do you remember the Baron?
I do we didn't get a clip of this but the first baron where basically
Losper and razz-walk are just in the river for no reason
Yeah, and then he stood on a blast cold
We're not going to show it because it's like Indiana World, get out of the way.
Oh my God!
Get out of the way!
Let's get the sauce going.
That's a waltz out.
And he just presses S.
He's just standing there menacingly.
Just wait!
And so, again, I come back to my whiteboard.
Why Fnatic?
Why are we playing like this?
Like, I had this whole bit about patience.
Like, we can be patient to a point.
But when does the opportunist Fnatic come through?
When do you strike?
Well, he did!
I mean, I don't know how.
But he did, Betty.
We saw a couple of moments where we were so sure Navi were going to win that game.
Yes.
With how the first 25 minutes had gone, we were so sure.
I was thankful because I was like, okay, this is actually a pretty easy analyst test to host.
What I have to do is lead in early game Navi, leads excellent, we'll talk about the draft,
it's good for Navi, excellent, we'll go from there.
But somehow Fnatic have found some way to put something in the water of the teams in the hotel
or they're feeding them panel chocolade that's infected with some sort of shifter's mentality
Because every team they play this weekend, and it is only two so far, seems to think that in the mid-game you just can't win the game anymore.
I gotta give it to Rilech, because it really was on him. I feel like every single time I saw an enemy champion, he wanted to e onto them and do a little bit of damage.
But in the end, he just got caught up here. What are you doing under the tower? They do have CC. They are human players. They will punish you for doing this stuff.
stuff and you can't get away with this you know once again public it's caught and
it ends up with real edge saying like okay I don't do the mid-laner but I
kind of can't contest this why wouldn't that just woke up oh there's a nice
arrow that's why it won't work up and it just gets went on and dies again it's
just chain in after chain in it wasn't even so for fanatic when he gets caught
by the way with that third dragon I just like I know to the views at home it
may seem like why are they ragging on fanatic for this win like we would love
to sit there and say, wow, what an impressive comeback from Fnatic, but it felt like it was
just a quality of errors where Fnatic for the first 25 minutes just kind of made mistake
after mistake with which Navi took advantage of, grew a huge lead, and then Navi just
kind of completely lost focus, then gave pick after pick, and then Fnatic just picked
up on the mistakes, and we talked about how like in terms of the quality of league
this felt low by the standards of both these teams.
I will say, to me, the one thing that Fnatic did do really well this game was their team
fighting when they had a normal position.
I think the fact that in every single team fight, Kusanto was marking the Gwen, the Victor
was marking the Aurora being super aware that they need to mark their flanks.
I do think Fnatic, to me, was a team that managed to refocus better from the madness
for Pacto Navi.
That's fair.
And it's something we've wanted to see from Fnatic, right, a version to what works
for them.
It feels like scaling teamfight. It's just what they've decided will work for them this weekend
I do have to say if you're a fanatic fan at home the longest time you've been a
We win early can't close late. Yeah, I think the fact that they're winning games, but struggling early
I think that's still an upward trajectory for the winning games
That's gonna be a great turnaround for the fanatic fans because now it's you don't get pessimistic when you've got a lead
Now you get optimistic when you're behind.
It's still a roller coaster.
It's still a roller coaster!
It's starting off with the bottom and climbing.
It's not a roller coaster.
And that gear is just a rock time.
Fnatic time is just when the gears kick in and it is locked in.
Yeah, I mean, shift is embodied in that time.
Yeah, it's been very interesting to watch Fnatic.
Do you want to talk about the draft?
We did prep the draft and we were going to have a chat about it.
It's kind of quintessential draft for Fnatic this weekend.
My take on the draft was that Fnatic...
I preferred Fnatic's comp on paper purely because I felt like it was easier to play.
My perspective was, I think in the late game I thought Navi would outscale.
That was the vibe I got, but we heard Lost Bronze say she was pretty confident that they outscaled.
And I think from his POV it's very much in the context of the teamfights
and the way that they approached those front to backs.
But I saw Navi spread on side lane, the range that they had with the Ezreal,
and I thought they had a lot of tools to play around what Fnatic had.
But when you've got Victor Ash with the front line of Cassante,
Fnatic had a very strong teamfighting in the late game.
I agree with you, and I feel like the fact that you first picked Jarvan, like this, without an S-Roll ban,
you banned Varus and Ryze, but you still want to first pick the Jarvan,
which kind of sets up the enemy team to do a draft like this.
Look, S-Roll, Aurora, Gwen, they can all get out, they can't really get locked down,
and I thought this Jarvan would be homeless without the work in Teamfight,
but he was looking for the Jarvan, he was finding it in the late game,
he actually managed to find his crucial picks.
Hard to do the fact, but now he gave it to them very freely,
but still, I got to see impressive bounce back from Razor.
He was homeless in the early game like we really didn't see much from razzle in the early game
But as you say later on in team fights it worked out a lot for them
I want to talk about the lack of engage that we're often seeing with range supports these days because Navi here
When they started to fall behind or when they couldn't really up the tempo of the game like keep things moving
They didn't really have the tools in their toolkit to just pick someone and go. Hey, this is how we initiate the problem for me is that
While engaged naturally is so valuable when it comes to approaching these fights
I feel like that a lot of teams
Don't really always appreciate the way in which they need to approach the drafts that they drafted for themselves
Because when you have a range support it becomes easy if in you're playing nor less
Please land a hook land an alt do something for me with which I can then follow up
But when you're playing range support, you have to demonstrate patience
You have to leverage poke and one of the big things Finn talked about was also flank
So you talk so extensively about flanks and if you're talking about that then vision becomes important the battle for vision
the setup in order to get that vision, clearing out enemy vision, pushing your waves.
I think all these steps get skipped, especially when you feel like you're under pressure.
And sometimes I feel like Navi put themselves in these positions where they're like,
oh, now we don't quite have that confidence anymore, we don't have that state.
So then they kind of go in haphazardly, haphazardly is the word I was looking for,
and then things end up crumbling. That makes sense, makes sense all around.
We're going to go to a short break before we get back
with the second game of Navi versus Fanatic.
Hopefully, we see an earlier first flush, let's see who will be right back after this.
I'm coming, I'm coming!
I'm coming, I'm coming!
I'm coming, I'm coming!
I'm coming, I'm coming!
I'm going forward!
Good job guys!
I'm f***ing coming back guys!
I'm going to be in the front game!
Let's go!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Brother, brother, let me try.
Wait, brother, let us break this instead of this.
this instead brother have a break have a kick-ass what is this brother
perfection
Welcome to my shop.
You'll need the right build, choose wisely, because every upgrade brings you closer to
the next level.
So tell me, how will you level up?
The whole room was howling. Howling? Oh, that's not howling, that's not howling.
Did you see the I.C. trophy?
Okay, even closer.
I
It's your story, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I'm okay.
It's okay.
You're okay.
I'm okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
Right now for us we have been performing so badly that we kind of need every win we can
get so it's gonna kind of decide the fate of our split if we can make it to the playoffs
or not so yeah it's gonna be first of all exciting and we are aiming obviously to
to do the three out of the reasons we're playing three days in a row and yeah I think it would
be pretty exciting to especially beat Karmicorps which are my previous team.
The weekend that we're going to play in every is going to be very important because it's
most likely we'll decide if we will qualify for playoffs or not so we will need to prepare
and it's going to be a really really important week for us.
It is going to be an important weekend for them because let's be real, Fomatic so
So far, have not had the greatest start to each and every game, but hell, a win's a win.
That's what we said at the start of the day.
My name is Serks, I'm joined by Dagda.
And so far, Dagda, Fnatic have had the roughest early game I think we have seen, I mean here,
of course.
I think in LEC Spring overall, their early game has been mega rough out of like the middle
tier teams.
Yeah, I mean, we've definitely had some mishaps, right?
I didn't think this game wasn't exactly the quintessential one I'll say because like we didn't have first one until 18 minutes
There's like a 1k gold lead for a large portion of this that didn't really matter
So I think it was more as we kind of yeah as we got to the inner portion of the game
We're really sorry to see that fall apart but yeah the the last couple have not been the greatest
But isn't it opposite end of the scale like Navi we talked about oh god the early games are actually quite nice
You know controlled in this game, especially they build up a 3k lead before finding the first fight and really just elevating that
So then all throw it away get caught out inside for poby for a lecture couple of times as well
I think bettys was holding a sign why which aptly picks
Navi's game one
And their opposite ends their early games are great, but then they throw it away or all the mid game
We look towards mid game. That's where a fanatic apparently shine
Yeah, I mean they had some great picks and I look I think it's kind of a
Tail of both sides of the coin right because on one side it's yes fanatic did well to find those picks
But also Navi really never should have put themselves in positions where those picks could happen right could pole be getting caught on that
Sidelane was a massive mistake even relax as well
Getting caught like that CC chain was really good from fanatic
But there was no world where you should have got caught in that position right more reactive
I think it's a bit of a mixed bag and still though if that is
What we're seeing great news for fanatic because I mean they managed to pick up the win here
If they can manage to take a victory it completely changes what the last few weeks of our look like starting zero and three
I was talking to Odo yesterday. They lost to SK they lost to M. Koi. They obviously found the win against G2 and then
Sorry, they lost against GX and SK
And can you imagine?
Going from that one and three start to then three and three in a live weekend with the chance to try and upset the KC fans of the
Home Arena and also the fact that like you've a win against you to you've a win against Nabi like yeah
People win against some of the top teams there as well, which then kind of pulls into question
Where the hell is land right? So I think it does make things significantly more interesting
But we have to get through the next game at least maybe
17, 18 minutes, nothing happened.
Dagger is right, we have to get through it,
but I mean it was enjoyable once we really got the ball rolling
as how that ride is going to get Orianna too.
Let's kind of take pace and know that with the rumble gun,
the virus gone, we are going into less standardized lanes.
The Nordle's also been banned two games in a row.
Yeah, Nordle is going to be banned,
good into a lot of the Enchanters.
Pantheon, the big one that you've seen off a lot of the time,
is still being left open as well.
So that's keep her eyes on that as it starts to slip on through.
I imagine that could be the last fan, but then you start to see things like the boy rise up party as well
That does get a lot of the band attention as well
often
Now maybe as you said maybe five first week then if we've left that open about I think it'd be panthen is the higher party
I think it's incredibly strong at the moment slight global is quite good
Yeah
The only question then is because fanatic banning the nocturne
We've seen nocturn a little bit more as the answer into the pantheon
And so I kind of wonder what the other camp is an answer then for the pantheon like basically turn off the lights
Make the pantheon play a little bit more difficult to operate
It also been able to cover sides with an octurne. It's often times what we see
But land priority here for fanatic could be the next port of call as you said the penton so strong that for fanatic
they obviously have options
That they'd rather pick and worth giving it away is a bot lane for upset and and lost
I feel like the last game will really what carry them through maybe
The thing is I actually personally prefer the Lulu Yunara side of this coin
Okay, I thought that would be what fanatic went for was trying to let a fire strong bot lane and then played it
They're most they're most played bot lane as well
Exactly and then you also kind of end up with this and double whammy of the body
Then getting a lot of help as well because you then get the second engage to open instead
They're going with the scarner so not opting into that
They're just gonna try and play this strong front to back
But with the Kate bird on the bottom side a lot of push you got good sideline coverage now where the panting can play out
Very heavy to defend that bottom side and things look a little bit trickier
I will say for fanatic if this Caitlyn Barth can get rolling
range at it in as well
wonder if
Fanatic like tricky though
I feel like last game that an early game was so tricky, but they navigated it regardless
However, it's about all those solo laners now, isn't it?
We've got bot lane sort of once again in the draft, the priority so far has really been about cementing bot early with jungle attention.
Now with the Vayne gone, I'm starting to think Fnatic are like, what, tank top again or what?
So, I mean, that seems to be the plan. Doesn't matter who they're against, they seem to want to pair us onto these more tank-oriented picks.
And Vayne was actually talking to me about how Maintra did him a number on the Vayne in solo queue.
Definitely seems to be trying to play a little bit more of those carry picks so makes sense definitely that you're trying to
Limit those that pool and limit those opportunities
We're actually the cannon coming through as well. So netting renec-tin or
Sion so an option here as well. You are who we'll have to see exactly what the game plan is
Getting rid of an engage option for Navi for the carry top
I mean again, we talked about like means is a bit of a role player, but he's also got some flexibility
outside of
Some of those tanks, you know the ambass is something we talked about last game Dagger
There could also be an option to layer up with the Pantheon
So with Ken and gone we know that fanatic might be going towards Renekton or the Sun themselves a Kali gone in the mid lane from
Navi now do fanatic safeguard top lane and go for Vladdy counter pick which seems like it might be the way I think in this
Scenario, I think you just take the mid lane for yourself. You reckon and then just hold out like I think you could oh, okay
gonna go now. I was gonna say I think you've been trying to take some and one picks mid and not be
too healthy open, but you're gonna immediately take the narrow. Ari gonna be the blind pick here for
Poby it looks like on the opposite side and I kind of like but the Annie works as well but basically
like something that has a lot of mid game power is what I'd be looking for here because you
know that that Katelyn's gonna come online later on so just kind of something to bridge
that gap is what I'd be looking for in the mid lane. I think Syndra does a great job here
Not many good answers inter that are open at the moment a mentor stop it. Yeah, it's not leader. Okay, wait
We're not looking at leader. Let's just follow. It's a very good matchup. You're a key
Sure, maybe something's more simple like the ambassador no
Yeah
Okay, but still I think like I like that we're getting major again up to these more carry picks
I think it's wrong into the denar especially when he's in that mega-nar form and
And now for Vladdy, like, Ari can work in conjunction with the Skarner, especially trying to charm to set up for a lot of these plays.
With tradition, what we've seen a lot more with the Skarner is these, like, these ears and these marquari picks.
And still though, like, for a fanatic strong opportunity to try and play through, like, a decent bot lane
and on these one-item spikes with both the melee units and that trial force being hit, same as the trial force in the top lane.
Whereas when I look at Navi, it's like heavy power in the lane.
in the lanes trying to play through that strength which we've set as a bread and butter and then actually leaning in more towards
Sam D on this Caitlyn to be that strong pick in the later portion of the game.
Because if they come out of lanes, look at the single target damage as well, the lockdown is crazy from Na'Vi as well
and when you consider things like Ari Corky being taken out of the mix, well,
that's not if I guess, you know, Na'Vi damage, you're thinking, hang on,
we kind of know where our bread is butted on the side of Fnatic.
And a lot of combo play off of this injury is kind of the weak, right?
You look at traps, you look at temperate dates, you look at the public execution, lots of follow-up if these CCs can come through even the pantheon as well.
So I think this is where for Fnatic, that can be a problem, especially as even in the last game when they were winning Fnatic, we're still kind of linked to a lot of these setups.
Against a composition like that has been drafted by Naby, I think that is a, you cannot do that. You cannot give that space.
The zone control that is offered on Naby is absolutely absurd.
As we look through the eye of the deer, which was very unsettling but also quite hype at the same time.
We're looking back into Summoner's Rift for game number two.
Fnatic came back after what was an over 2,500 gold deficit, is what I remember correctly. Thank you, production.
To now, a very different game-to-drop from Narvik.
As you said, the follow-up is crazy, but we are going to be focusing on the lanes here.
As we have electric group bar, but we also have a lecture cute on to Mainters and Bessa in the top lane
So burst trades as against the range matchup
It will be hard for the ambassador early with such big cool down. We saw this for Mainter yesterday as well
We ended up off it in twice the electric huge into that range matchup against the Jays just basically saying look
I want to try and look for these quick call in windows didn't work out so hot from there
Let's see if it can go a little bit better from this time around and
as again the
Less range than some of these things like the the jacest and should be a little bit easier from to try and play that
Yeah, a little bit, but we'll find out how he goes in the 1v1 from now
Alright the focus on the bottom lane cosmic binding versus a bit of ebb and flow from Lossapur
Electric Q gets proctin. That's exactly what Paris wants for some of these traitors
Sandy gets a push out first and naturally you expect with the Caitlyn Bard. They have a bit more range. They have a bit more burst and
Now he did opt in for this lane as a response against Upset and Lossapur locking in Corbinami
Yeah, I think as well it then creates a really interesting dynamic then if we get to a game free for the
Unarrow to do because I think that then becomes like the
Focus for the bottom side because often the corki now he's pick is an answer
Which is why I surprised the upside lost to go for it and Sam D now and Paris have a good matchup
As you can see with pushing lane and opens up then relaxed and look for invades
And that was kind of the the dangerous part of going for this style of comp. This is the drop-down from Poby gets levels free
So now, I believe Scatter the Week has just been taken, and if it wasn't taken before,
good dodge away from the charm from Vladdy, the Poby last game.
I don't know, okay, Ladyface, the only one down, because Vladdy on the victor, I found
a bit of success first, Poby's a warlock, Scatter the Week doesn't connect, but also
Vladdy's been pretty good, and with all the deception after the charm, Poby gets
hit pretty hard here, he's going to have to burn his pot, and Vladdy's run out
of his, but outside of a manner advantage for now, Helps is looking good as Vladdy
He steps forward once again, Poby.
Has to be careful.
If he gets flash charm, he will be dead.
There's all the deception just to the wave,
and Vladdy paying respect, hang on.
Vladdy doesn't quite have the electric queue yet,
so Poby basically trying to use the summonery.
But there you go, yes.
Got it, the weak misses.
And that's really what this matchup comes down to,
is can Poby land some of these funds,
poke at range,
not give Vladdy opportunities
to get value from this electric use.
But in the early stages, Vladdy with a nice charm,
does control the matchup, teepee back,
as Poby will have to respond now in kind with his own.
Maybe he's quite hefty as well.
Poby is 70 mana.
Now these use Darkspear W combination.
He's just gonna have to try and order this.
He'll lose the last minion,
but he will happily receive the rest of the wave.
So CS will be even as Fnatic, come on guys.
Better not be you again, I swear to God.
Yeah, we can't stop the chat spamming it.
You need to stop, but in all seriousness,
I'm gonna find out what this is.
There's no blame.
There are two teams here guys.
Don't listen to the cast.
Yeah, so we're gonna investigate this and I think it's interesting to see though how like this is
At least it's not really too much
Both junglers go for the clears are hand shaking on trying to go for opposite scuttle perhaps
It's all gonna be fairly standard and the interesting one for me is gonna be in mid lane
And a lot of this focus is gonna be hobby hitting stones and then set up for right
So if I'm Reledge, my focus would be trying to pivot around Poby to see if I can unlock him,
see if I can maybe get him on towards Lones, then towards the Hottleside, after Dives.
I think that's going to be the really interesting part.
And Poby is an exceptional Syndra, like 14 and 6 over the course of the career on the Syndra.
And a lot of them were kind of in tier 3, but still, it's a comfort pick for Poby.
And if you can then play with this constant ramping of CC over the course of a flight,
It can be really difficult for fanatic to play this that's the scaling as well execute now on unleash power
It was introduced quite a while ago
But still so relevant as relets going for the invade brass lock on his chickens. He is getting offended here
Smite goes down relets just takes the big one a nice little invade and relets again
Finding his heart in the enemy jungler's heel has to be good in the bottom side
There's a quick crit from Sandy rather headshot, and he gets a priority again 90 caliber net forward
Sending it to the autos down and built over peacemaker is close to getting a kill
Yeah, could have been a disaster especially if it
Not a connected because I think it would have missed the minion and then you get the full brunt of the damage from upset as well
Doesn't have that fall off after hitting the first target. So it's a bit of a difficult spot
But this is what you want now. They like a wave and a half now for upset
And I say for some DMPars to chip away this turret. Yeah, great CS lead
This is only going to continue to grow fossil fuel has to be used
than after step off the turret so a couple more minions missed and Sam D and
Paris will continue wait for the next wave and continue to pressure down. Reset
from Razzle so he can't do much in the bottom lane just yet.
Parthing there for his wolves but still they've got a ward on the tri brush so
a lot of control held by Sam D and Paris. They're going to use this time to get the
wave pushed in. Sam D on to Lospa could hold from Lospa but regardless the
minion wave will crash and a couple more will be missed by upset.
Yeah, Lospa was trying to hold us but cancel the reset for
and the empires to make sure that that won't happen.
Yikes.
And now, so, control on the bottom side.
Top lane going as expected for Impero
is kind of getting that push in,
and once he gets the early boots as well,
it becomes a little bit more difficult for Mainter,
but Mainter going for his first reset,
now should have a decent purchase for himself.
And then in the mid lane,
I'm actually surprised to see
Vlad has opted now on both resets
not to pick up the early boots.
Traditionally what I've seen
in a lot of matchups against Syndra is
you go for the boots
because your movement speed to dodge the dark spheres is super important.
Yeah.
Well, I think honesty has been doing a good job of just being able to sidestep them themselves.
And you still see the early Merc treads opted into in a lot of the Syndra matchups,
just because if the CC lands and jungler is there like now, it can be a bit of a disaster.
There's only no magic lantern for the moment though.
I feel like for both, it's going to be super relevant in this game
because we're fighting just to get back from upset in the last spot.
Because MD has reset with a BF sword.
so the advantage of what rearing its head in is tier versus longsword obviously sandi is going to continue to own in that bottom side
razzog now hovering around but I believe he's spotted out as Paris is on the move
So you think it influence the mid lane a little bit more as poby and bloody both have level six
I mean it's a bit of an execute here from poby
But a bit of mobility from bloody to start running as well
Ralech is invaded on the top side because he knows that razzog has gone for the scot-of-crab
So just trying to see if you can skin the way I can't hit six and have attention make the play admit
Razor here to cover though, could make it a little tough.
Relich has got level 6-0 with some fancy footwork from Pobie as he goes away from the charm.
There's no real chunk to lead to anything happening up there. Razor spotted over a ward as he goes for his crux.
Now spotting away that Ralech has done some dirty business in here is...
Blue buff is going to be taking the meantime and Ralech continues to scale ahead.
It does feel like, again, not a good early game from this Nabi jungler as he continues to get in the face of Razor.
Yeah, I think it's just trading well, getting the advantage at once and getting a little bit of the steals is put Ryzer in an awkward spot.
Also, with the pathing down towards the bottom side, I think it would be take wolves, recess, buy for relench, and then look for either the olds play to cover bot lane,
or use the push now that Pobby's hit 7 to push off a bot and mid to look for dragons.
It seems to be the best play to kind of, again, start stacking dragons, play towards what has been their more traditional playstyle.
We've got proper eyes, that should be easy to do.
Wards down from Fnatic, anticipating the threat, and Sam D gets a nice bit of regent.
Thanks to Paris, who has tempted fate.
And bottom side to be cleared from Relectch, but another slow early game again.
I guess we're just in for a mild ride up until we get to that mid game again.
The thing is, it's a similar story to last one.
Maddie going, hey, we have strong lanes, apart from topside.
But let's just continue to let the strong lanes and made them bot do their thing.
Even more than last game as well, right?
Exactly, yeah.
And then we're going to be in a fine spot.
The only one you do, to be worried about, is Mainter.
But his CS is looking good.
He has lost the place or two, because obviously that's kind of the way things go.
It's just a single plate at the moment.
But, Stephanie, as long as you're now in a position where you can start to get
towards the Eclipse and you're not too far behind, things do become significantly easier.
Definitely rushing that, because there's no Tavi here against the NAR, which you might expect otherwise.
Otherwise, however, as you said, that eclipse rush is on the way.
Grubzels is born on the top side of the map, so note that without Dragon taken, we do have
a bit of a trade possible.
I've already mentioned it, Navi 700 gold in the lead, and yeah, absolutely chilling.
The Spotlane lead is kind of slowly growing.
I mean, ups and lost for a full HP for now, but like 15 CS, Sandin Paris, if not maintaining
it or pushing it by a couple of CS, are really showing us the power of this lane.
It is nice to see considering that I've certainly lost for last game for really the ring genetic one now living with the top-line game
Reledge finds it. Oh
Little bit far away and process gonna survive because otherwise. I think that now was dead
It should have been dead honestly
I think main dish should have just committed with the flash instead of just trying to hold off and just barely missing on the ultimus
It's got this buys a lot of time now for fanatic as you say and Pears gets a TP back
He survives. Poby in mid though.
Into melee range for the charm, Poby gets the stride,
all the deception, waiting, waiting, waiting,
with one more Spira, Rush available.
There's a charm coming soon, you know him,
but Vlad is run low on mana.
Harris comes in for the roam to help out,
and, yeah, a little bit harsh from Fnatic,
not to find anything in the mid lane,
but I think they'll be happy
because Mprost survives.
What should have been a short kill.
Yeah, the main focus for me though
is ultimate down for Reledge.
This is the tool that is basically covering
that bottom side of the map constantly,
making a tough for Razor 3D interaction with Samgy and Paras, now they're without being down, because they're a little bit more confident.
Paras though, is a strong, independent Paras and don't need no jungler.
That's right.
That's why they're going to push Razor off of his dragon by himself.
That's right, he was in the scoping king back, Navi already got one, they don't need another one.
Wait, is that really so?
Hang on, no, maybe he doesn't need help, he's going to get impaled.
Now to watch all Paras flush the wave, but a magical journey after a tidal wave.
No impaled for Razor, no tidal wave for Lospa.
You're right, Dagda. Paras is strong and independent.
probably would like to keep the flash
but that doesn't matter
you know they want to check off the play
but still I think managing to push up an attic
nice job and then relench on this bottom side
means that you can actually start to
keep up this pressure
try and look for the dragon yourselves
reset for Poby in the mid lane
we'll be able to TP back in and it's an aggressive one
in towards that river as well
get to try and deny Gladdy from coming in with a plate
so he has the angle on the scout of the wig
Razzle coming back in with a part of harness as well
the Colby finding Navi, the dangerous in the river here, Brasov still looks for a small engage.
Gets poked down but the magical journey is going to get Navi out after getting the Dragon.
Fnatic lingered around, but to no avail. They get nothing here while the Dragon, first one of the game, goes to Navi.
Actually a nice reset timer there for Maintra as well. Was holding.tp if he needed to come and join in the fight.
Navi get the CC that they need, they dip out and Fnatic haven't really been able to find any sort of cross maps the moment.
It took match what Navi had been doing, and it's kind of a similar story in
for like Game 1.
Dagger, it doesn't matter about the early game, does it?
Because Fnatic would do something in the mid game.
We know now, that's their recipe.
So they can fall behind 5,000, 6,000 gold.
They probably won that, I don't know.
But they don't really have the far back hand that they usually do.
Either it's Upset, or it's Vladdy that have been stepping up.
Those two guys, none of the best of spots.
A lot of them are in Peros and Navi want to shut that down.
Karras making a roam.
He's got a lot of movement speed here now as well with the moonplate and
Sandy getting all the CS and world-shared with Mainter but still majority
going to this. Caitlyn is he's also getting plates to himself. Mainter's gonna
back off still threatening the ulti from Fog of War but this Navi bottom lane
although they're not massively up on CS and they're gonna do a lot of work
if left one. And that's gonna stop them. In the meantime I will say
hysterics can be wrong speaking third person and I'm wrong here because I've
and lost but have just a free access to the turret lighting themselves too. Yeah I was going to say this
was a fairly decent play for not being with the way they're able to play things but with the late
reset from Menter, Upset being able to catch the majority of the wave and match the push as well.
It's kind of left them an awkward spot. Now they should be able to get first turret gold off
this push which is going to be nice for them but definitely not as cool as a lead as they
had been able to swap around on that. Yeah and RollQuest actually goes upset first here on Fanatic.
with Sam D, he'll find this turret and just try to deny as much minions as he clues out this way.
That turret still will go down full, it still will be the first turret to get and gets a roll quest with it as well.
So a bit of a hefty chunk of gold, but as we said, I mean, upset for a losing position in that lane,
we'll be happy that at least he's competing. Yeah, I think it was just an avi-basis saying,
look, we didn't want this bully from Amperos to continue going. Yeah, not bully. We wanted to try
playing to shut him down. They did so, managing to get Maitre in the bottom side, pick up Bumjari the CS.
And now off the back of that, Maitre is up on both CS and gold. Now it was in lieu of giving some of that
gold away from Sam Di. But I think with the now Storm Knights who's already picked up,
Sam Di should be in a position to play very aggressive in these lanes,
open up movement from Paris, and a roaming bird with the reletch, maybe exactly the best one.
Oh, and this time it is a Max-Rain CC. No move! No move for you, Emperos!
As everything from Navi goes perfectly for a 4-man dive.
That's the combo we were talking about. They have so much CC, Ralech, trying to look for the evade and the follow-up.
They didn't burn that much. They don't want it.
Still has the ulti available for the range.
Ralech knows he has backup, looking for a set in the mid lane. Cosmic Binding is just going to be about three to wait for him.
Lovov does go to Razzle in the end so there was no steal but a lot of pressure being added by Navi around this bottom line
Is they crest over 2000 gold? An upset is about to get that call to pop as well
So you're seeing okay upset probably going to even out the gop for some deep with these plays on side lanes
Poby is continuing to get these advantages through that mid lane and it's a good matchup at the Syndra
We talked about how he could try and punish and now with this terror very close to going down
I think the syndra is going to be a very dangerous piece for this chess game. Oh, yeah
Poby getting all that solo gold, yummy yum.
It's gonna be a great mid-game.
Well, stop talking, I should tell myself.
It looks like it's gonna be a great mid-game from Navi.
All the tools are set up, as you said, the recovery from Fnatic.
I'd be a little bit harder in this one, but...
Let's feel like Navi again and putting all the steps in place.
I've also got a dragon in a minute with this mid push that's gonna be non-stop.
With Poby adding so much pressure to sides as well,
feels like the second dragon should be for free. Question mark.
I mean, Fanatic have a decent position so they move Razor towards mate. They help to get push, the other side to get crab, trying to get vision.
And you're seeing those resets come through from Relection. And Naughty not really going to be able to follow up too effectively on this.
I think you still need Fanatic to push mate and look for the wrong reset as well.
Hoping that Upset has one CS. There he goes, pops the call.
So they'll put upset in a fairly decent spot if you can get this reset off into the flight and we're 25 seconds
Fanatic kind of control the area
Yes, surprisingly enough right there even looking for a dive on the popey
But Razzok's gonna be found out as religious to the face check gets us stunned down as well with a couple of spheres
Razzok has to be careful scout of the week is fantastic as poke continues to land no charm from bloody though
Just out of range and now the attorney powers to get poked up here
But with a bit of sustain he'll be fine and the question of control now flicks back and forth as Razzok gets healed up as well
and Dragon now spawns.
Navi have all first items competed though,
Rage is still waiting for Bloody to try and finish his
Imperos in the top half as well.
So I just don't think Fnatic are out there strongest quite yet.
For what item Spike is huge,
but you haven't got there.
So Navi feeling they can move into position to contest this.
A good journey, it's a short one.
As TP comes in, Fnatic again,
wanna get themselves in,
Razor flashes in,
Powell for Flurry Edge gets out,
and a tempered fate from Paris
holds the jungler off Fnatic,
but no trap!
Samby misses a still target and Rathalgus rolls out of that on now no
temperate range engage now down. Telbo will be committed for that to probably
be coming in after one tool is down on their support. Still though, Naby, running
into position here, they were a little bit worried about the follow-off as
Ladi had moved into mid after completing the first item and no rough
fanatic on the dragon. Alright, there we go. Public execution on the Rathalgus.
Good damage, he has to get out of each drive. Raleigh flies in. Opposite was left alone by Fanatic as he flies through the way.
A spear over the wall? No, it's aimed at Razor as the spike in test comes on him,
but I don't want to get back on him. Dodging one from Manker is nice, but it is a blue team
secure. A double dragon and a kill to boot. It's Navi who's secure and takes down Razor.
Yes, Poby died for the dragon. Navi has started to roll the early game again.
Poby dies, Lissande could hold his position and play. You'll see as this one comes through.
So Naby dive on towards Razor, which then opens up Fnatic with a good charm to get up to Poby.
Poby spends so much time here, not falling, as he touches the model, Entros ults,
but Samdi then knows that he can use the Ranger Katelyn to play this fantastically, constantly threading,
leaving Naby in a position where they can move back and forth, they get the dragon, they kill Razor,
but the rest of Fnatic couldn't follow up as they would have to bypass Samdi to do so.
to do so. Here I like Poby dance and then a little bit and so much of that team
fighting gauge used especially Empress's mega Nara's second dragon. Now we go to
Harold. Navi are on that as well as Razor's busy clearing his top side of
his jungle but it's just respawned. The 3k goal leader seems like a similar story
to game number one but it does feel like again so many more tools this
game and the Herald should also open up the mid lane so that Siege at
I think my biggest worry though is that you don't really have the uber late game scaling
off kind of the victory and that's coming through for fanatic in this time.
Yeah, as you said, you're a bit worried.
Yeah, Katelyn's very strong in late game, same as in Zing-Dra, like a free out of
Mbessa is disgusting.
It feels a little bit more difficult.
I'm sure you've got like some tools you can use, like Porky, no pushover, same
as you look at Razork in the later game, Teamfight with his health bar, but I
They still give the edge to Navi in this one.
It's like the Nadek is getting a move on.
Razov constantly looking for plays,
but Sam D not going to over push.
When is Razov not looking for plays?
I mean, yeah.
As a jungler, I feel like that's all you're going to do.
And to be fair, I mean in game one it was the same on the Jarvan
and I think Razov did actually prove to be so beneficial for that first game.
Here in this one on the skana, can he do the same?
He's down a thousand gold against Reledge and 40 CS in the jungle.
Rilech has been on a bit of a tear this game and Orozalc had the Invade in first 10 minutes again one
It did feel like Rilech's early game overall really wasn't that bad. In fact, you know the next 10 minutes after that
He really took control the jungles started edging out a lead this time even more so the second item soon to be on the way
And Ripchart still is back pocket so the opportunity to try and take down a mid lane tier 2
Yeah, open up the map make things a little bit less comfortable for fanatic is there and
And you still got 50 seconds until the first Baron spawn, so we're not exactly in a position where you can just blow open the game as Navi, but it is about controlling that space, looking for dragons, trying to dictate where Fnatic can go over the next 8 minutes and hope that then you can close the game out as you get into position where you can try things like that.
Like, is he going to be used, red ledge?
He has found no one, but LostBurt did indeed flash away from a poby scout of a week.
So in front of the Baron, opportunities start arising when someone is down to try and abuse
LostBurt again.
It's any of those choke points, they're so difficult, like if you're trying to go
through his LostBurt to get vision and anybody on Navi spots you, you're just
dead.
Like, you don't have any real follow-up, especially as you say with the flash now
burnt.
It's very hard for Fnatic to contest a Navi that has a lead like this and is willing to group off and look for picks.
There's potential, turns 1v1 into 1v2, Maintz took this play but a Megana, Puffed!
Maintz gets out with a public execution but for now, bloody charm misses, Maintz jumps back in, a good start by Ampros,
but he might be in a bit of trouble, Maintz does dodge everything that Upset needs to come in as well,
Watch your membros, this ambassador, the energy, crazy!
If they can fly me to hell by cleaning up on Abbey,
are staging the mid lane.
N teams in the chat, I feel I've made this look so much time.
Mainter bought a ton of time for Anabey.
They get the mid lane tier two.
Poby's putting in work on this top side as well.
Burning the flash on Imperial's two just before Dragon
is perfect to let Poby and SamD play more aggressive,
knowing that Nara cannot get in on top of it.
Rithik comes back alive, he will have TP and that'll be for the dragon, play 40 seconds
as the resets are going to come through from Nabi after the Inatar it drops down.
Atatar will drop on the bottom side, thank you observers.
With Fnatic's minions, but all about this third dragon it now will be as Cloud spawning.
25 seconds. Fnatic need to stop the stacking,
otherwise Nabi will have more conditions in their favor for the second game.
thing is that Bobby's back out of the mouth, pushing in the bottom side.
TP now to meet the rest of his team in mid.
And Navi incredibly strong right now.
But I think this game becomes so much more difficult,
but if Paris not having Flash,
he would have loved to have the Flash engage on the narrow.
Have a fight.
All get-ups that get-ups that in with the Scattle of the Week.
With the CC they found,
he couldn't find public execution.
On the ups and the sprints,
he flies at the start of the fight,
but no, he dodges a spear from Relatch.
Navi, five members getting poked out a little bit,
But look at Fnatic's health bar. Much, much worse as third dragon now comes into question.
A little bit of missed timing is on Nabi's side though, means that Fnatic will get to find another game.
Steve, last player, gonna continue to heal on look.
And Pross going into Mega now, he's found out at half-hp flight, he gets over the wall.
Beautiful charm on the Paris stun, not even the Mega.
Not yet, Mega jumps back in.
A sledgehammer thrown at Sandy, is all the deception to zone out Fnatic on the dragon.
There's the Grand Starfall, the stun for Rilla, it's getting an instant kill, but Dragon has no smite.
It's Fnatic so they're taking it, Razzle will sacrifice his life.
Sandi gets the last auto down, Scorpion in the ground,
Halberlitz decided to go around, but Nabi have lost their ground.
No! Fnatic in the choke again! It's where Nabi thrive!
Pony lines down the orbs like he's at a bowling alley
and gets a strike to secure the ace.
Pony finishes off Fnatic in the river.
It was Destination! Fanatic tried desperately to get in and bloody played this incredibly well
got some close charms but they just can't find the engage and with that flash down on the peros
you can see Naby just dipping and diving their way in and out of the fight finding and fishing
for these plays and Reletch just corrals Fanatic into the perfect following
The mentor of jumping in with a flash and Polby soon to follow.
My latch, the angle beautiful, the Poby full on exceptional and Baron goes down this time.
Fate is definitely rising faster for Navey as they get the Baron at 23 minutes in the game.
You're looking at three out of us now, four Samgees, soon to follow for Polby.
The presence that Navey now have on this map is going to be felt heavily by Fnatic.
And again, they just don't really have the tools to try and fish for plays.
It relies on Vladdy looking for these charms.
And he did his damage in the last part.
His resort felt the breeze from that one go past the tail.
Oh, yeah.
Hope he means more business now as Sandy aggresses upon the mid lane as well.
Top Wave pushing in thanks to Mainter.
As he thinks about grouping up, the pings are going up saying push this wave.
We're going to transition to top.
Vladdy is soloing out Bot Wave in the meantime as objective bounty
much need for Fnatic to even think about getting back in this game. But this top turret is not
long for the world and the Baron power play presented to you by Red Bull will crest over
a thousand gold but still has two minutes to prove it's worth even more.
Now they're going to move back into the map looking for that bottom tier two.
The pressure is already starting to bounce and again I think for Fnatic they have good
pick opportunities. Like we saw in the last game what they could achieve with that if
if someone is overextended and with the charm,
with what Ryder can try and get,
even the follow-up that's there from Lospa,
there are windows of opportunities,
but it's on Navi making a mistake
and right now they're grouped.
You can see Ralech covering, proposing the mid lane.
Paris covering the bot, but maybe once more!
Charm doesn't connect,
all the deception gonna tickle Paris's feet,
but Navi, as they push up the bottom lane,
they now know one less ulti down to threaten
the defense that Fnatic up to mount.
Man, it's a decent chance.
Decent shot, but they just couldn't quite find a Fnatic.
Scatter.
No terror.
You've got Sandeep who's going to just continue to take pop shots at the structure.
Razor can't really survive this much range.
Sandeep keeps unleashing as the wave is slowly but surely cleared.
Good charm on the minion that will land at all the deception.
Fnatic wait for the next wave.
Baron has 45 seconds.
I like a knob here playing this though.
using reletch with that barren buff to push in mid, knowing that he can alternate underneath the turret any time the run is at cost.
Ten for Faye doesn't get the time, it does get run, got two saves, get him away with a trap underneath,
public execution, made to the late is 90, gets shunned on the turret though, maybe a little bit deep from Navi.
The top laner dies, and now Fnatic have legs to stand on.
Fnatic gets broke down hard, but Navi, still, the siege has slowed down.
A bit over ambitious to the play.
That cosmic blinding may have just saved the play for Paris
because Fnatic saw their moments, wraps backs to game one
but just barely Navi managed to escape.
Still a 7000 gold lead for them.
And with Dragon in the minutes time, it should still be Navi's favours.
But you can still see this Ruffer and the edges.
But the Dragon stopping again in this game
gives me deja vu because Fnatic have once again got time.
They've got a lifeline.
We talked about the scaling, maybe not being his favours
as synonymous as it was last game, but Fnatic still have the pick tools, they still have the potential
to find Nabi caught napping. 45 seconds to find out if this dragon brings him back in the game as
there's a bit of focus on topside for now. And it is starting to feel a little bit like this weekend
has revitalized Ladi. He's kind of the one again your eyes are driftin to and he's the one again
but it's nearly making those plays happen and with the Ari the charms could be on point. Flash
Ash can build very soon for him and that could be his moment trying to fish for something massive.
A charm onto anyone with Razork to follow up but Lost Puzzle Bubble could be lights out.
And with Least Bit to control now, the push on top.
Now they have to defend and it pulls them away from that dragon but everyone on Fanatic are up here.
Looks like they want to try and go for two structures instead of dragons.
Harris can negate a potential dive though.
His ulti's back up and available.
There's parents on up for now.
It is just his focus in the river, as you say.
Hope he tries to sign them off, but Fnatic moved four members
in total.
Vlad is going to hold onto mid-wave.
Navi continue to encroach and try and stop this push
because, again, objective bounties for Fnatic remain
up and standing.
And with all the built-up genomite on the turret,
it's very easy to take down some of these outers.
This feels like kind of the last ditch effort
for Fnatic in this one.
But he's found, he goes over blind but he's on a ward, he now brings out the spirit rush,
has to use all of it to get on out.
Double TP which means Fnatic are now stuck in his position with no Magana, and Prost almost
cooks the goose.
But the problem is, Dragon's there regardless, so Nami with the double TP will still find
a win with the objective in their pocket.
Yeah, and I think it was worth to say, I feel like this was the last kind of play
in the Fnatic cards, because you're looking at the items that are coming through.
Poby, very close to Robert on the death card.
Last whisper about to be competed for some D. This is where you just teeter into that late game territory for Naby on the carries
And it's very difficult for fanatic to really try and contest
There's no big items like that. You're looking for it to be like that's the thing that's gonna break up in the game for them
now, yeah
Right Baron 45 I do look at a timer and say that though because the time is very different
Poby will he have the Ravillon's deathcap before the Baron gets thought about?
He has TP available so on the minimap right now he is peeing to go to the top lane at level 16
Syndra with 113 stacks, 120 remember as well, the AP increases.
Sandi has to be careful about his face check. I guess this game did he does have a bit more range?
So Sandi happily destroys abilities into people.
It does have a bit more range but no cleanse, no macaels like that's nearly there for Paris.
We set up to be very careful and fanatic. They're looking at every brush is a fanatic brush right now. Yeah
Razzle is in the name. He's waiting
Like a razor ready to cut as Vladdy comes in as well trying to defend vision put out by Navi in front of this barn
That's now spawned
Paul be moving there to the bottom side to try and create another point of pressure for Navi
But we're not in a group look and heroes nowhere near that neganar
but Fanatic wants you to step forward and try and bully their way in towards this
barren area. Oh they're gonna do the brush? No they're going past it. A bit of vision
around the outskirts here, scrying ward spots out, acing the hole into Razork,
nice little block. Fanatic controlling vision, buying time. Deep forward to give a
spot at this movement to topside. I suppose he continues to push him off.
Yeah I think some of these still needs to reset though so I think it'll be
matched here as they clear these waves and then go for the reset because
he should have that last whisper item completed now the mortal are not the
more reminder the Lord Dominic's regards should be on the cards from I
believe but now they just wanting to keep staying out on the map and hoping
that they can keep fanatic away from getting any sort of vision around
this objective I need to clear this wave scab the week is good relish
hoppers over the wall all the deception for the minion and the
terrible stage standing a good scrying bloom on the ground will spot
Na'Vi around the area as Fnatic are making movements up into the top side. They want to open up
EMPROS so he can get some turret plating up here as Mainter jumps forward. There's really no damage
from EMPROS even with Hyper. As at least one plating for EMPROS feels nice for the Na'Vi,
but is it two items? Fnatic, I think they were hoping they could make some sort of play,
but Mainter are not willing to play here as he knows that the rest of his team is on recess.
Na'Vi start to shift towards that top side knowing that there's a very high chance Fnatic
Nice pumping out somewhere in this river.
Lost for Cancels at the back. There was a bar on the way up very quickly and that was probably a smart idea.
Going to base together, lost the backs away, and Prost gets out safely.
Dragon, two minutes. It does feel like we again are hovering over to that mark.
As bar and control go back to Nabi, it swayed to and fro, but vision is completely cleared out.
Outside of that ward, you can see around the left side of a pit there, all the way at the back.
Thank you so much, observers. There's one fanatic ward there that's deep.
As Navi starts the Baron with the scrimboard spotting out the beginning.
It's perfect timing, the Barrows is nowhere near Megan now.
You've got Pusha already on bottoming for Vlad, he needs to reset.
And this Baron is not long for the world.
It's K5, K4, K2, quick, Razzle needs to get in the pit.
It's going to take too long, Tempest Faker to catch him.
As Baron goes down to Navi, but they've got a great angle on the Scorpion.
King, Razzle can't down hard.
As Unleashing Power is going to unleash Hell on the Fnatic's backlight as Reledge.
He flies in as everyone's down to make it up a two-low to commit to the fight.
Vladius to get out of Prodebel, the rest of Fanatic move up in a choke,
but Poby likes those odds.
Get the double flash, gets the poke, Fanatic get out of dodge,
but use everything to survive as Baron again goes Navi's way.
Navi gets the Baron, they force Fanatic back,
and it's everything that they could have hoped for.
Because as this starts off, Paras, this temporary was insane.
So Manage is to get himself pushed out by the scarter
so he can escape with the magical journey.
Maitre with the follow-up finishes off.
Which finishes off Razor, thanks to the ultimate from the syndrome.
And Rilech just trying to put pressure down here.
As best he can.
Fanatic Manage to Scarper.
But still Navi now going to start putting pressure on towards inhibitor turrets.
Navi with Baron number two.
Surely this is how it ends now.
Now, this Baron play needs to start cresting into the base and destroying some of those
inhibitor turrets as Razor, that's where he'll have to defend with the rest of Fnatic.
15 seconds for the Drake, this will be Sol Fnabi and considering to have 80% of the
map right now, this should be easy as right now that was Fnatic's view, a little bit
tilted to the left as Mbrost does get top lane turret, gets a bit of gold but
your base is breaking very fast.
There's just no response. Fanatic struggling desperately to find the
engages that they want to. Razorc steps forward, looking for Paris. He gets
scuttled away, tend to fade, the flash from Vladdy gets the charm, it's nice on the
real it. Stunned up and slowed down runs the go-ding and in the grandest
first one, an angle! It impaled to death! A two-man! A mistake! Navi found out and
Fanatic again, they keep finding these defenses. Their GP from Amperos behind
was beautiful for Fnatic and they are holding on to this game. The inhibitor
falls, they'll get the dragon and again this barn book is really not doing much for Navi.
Dagda, they stayed too damn long. They lose their soul like Navi has the dragon coming up.
But again, huge plays from Bladdy. Goes over the wall, gets the chairman relaunch,
which then opens up this opportunity to spread Navi thin and apparel's pounces.
There's no way Navi lose and over 6k gold, like two games in a row today, right? There's no way.
Stranger things have happened, my friend, and it may be just, maybe, but still, I mean, look,
Navi have control. Like, you have somebody in a very good spot. You're starting to get,
Like Poby now with the Seekers arm guard completed. He's gonna be in a much stronger position where if fanatic trying to look for something like that
It's going to be more difficult
And you can also see how hard that was for fanatic to make that
Imperial's hot to use the TP to get him behind because without flash
Trying to get past a scattered the week in a front-to-back flight. He's incredibly difficult for the front line of fanatic
And maybe pick here flash set up to the ground star 4 charm doesn't connect relays put the shield up immediately
Immediately he flies in with his GA ready to die ready to set up Navi to move this to game three as you said
It's still a hard game for fanatic holding on to their base is step one
Catching out Navi is step two the flown in to get this mid inhibitor add more pressure
While no objectives are up and available Navi still
Steal their approach
I'll upset that a rock and cross half the way to Megan are slowed down as reletched but still healthy enough
But he's the only member with flash and immediately Navi focus him down.
High HP in the area has to go back to base.
He should open up Navi now to start to get this mid inhibitor.
And here he's moving over just to try to keep some pressure.
But they have to play keep away on both mid and top side.
He's seen him make it now and that time is going to run out.
So Navi not going to make the same mistake again.
So she can't find the angle up.
She's going to get cleansed away.
Sammy does get poked as you say in a dangerous position.
Fnatic like hang on we can go forward balkary into Sammy with a relaunch. He jumps forward part of it again
Captured by Razzorg real edge goes into GA and another flight this time from bloody
Chanda's in connect spear or should we angle to the rest of the team as we let's get shut down
Navi just can't step into fanatics by this theory fanatic keep finding their moments
Hold the door!
There's no wards that are letting them hold onto the base.
And Navi just aren't doing their due diligence.
They keep trying to overforce. They keep going too far.
And Fnatic are punishing.
They let their guard down because they see the Knoth.
And then Flutty deepies this time.
Next time you'll have the TP up on Empress
and they'll do it again.
I mean this is dangerous territory.
3000 gold, the only lead.
Dagda Baron number 3 is up in a minute.
a minute. Dragon Soul for Navi that's been denied is up in two.
And Flash is coming up for Fnatic. The ability to find ways to bypass the front line of Navi
is crucial to them. They've been doing it with teleports. Now they have another summoner spell
in their arsenal. And my guys drift to Imperials. They drift to Vladdy.
These two solo laners for Fnatic could find the moment to shut that door on Navi once and
for all. I'm committed to the idea now that bloody is thriving on the hatred, on the
feeling, on the the S talk that's being thrown out towards his way. Might only be
one on two. There's been some glorious moments so far. There has been some
really good picks and that bottom lane inhibitor, even there for the flank, he
sets up so that Navi have no counter response. Stacked up. Timer's top
left, that's what I'm looking at. Asing the hole on up, that's nice but
There is sustained as Na'Vi look to defend the push into the dragon.
It's Razor Britpoby, scattered away, get max range as well.
Found out is the G.A.A.L.L.A.S.O.N.D.
Realized into a Gatling Gun, he's in danger, bloody head's forward.
But the protocol of Zembros takes a tempered fight.
Totaway is there.
Razor gives the impalible found no one.
A lot thrown out as Zembros heads towards MegaNar,
and Na'Vi are backing off.
Charmoye!
Close.
And Peros though, gone mega.
This is where the Fnatic want to try and find a moment.
Poby with the scatter of the weak on towards Razor.
will keep him afaius and peros wants to step forward but just can't find the angle
I see a pantheon in the distance with ulti available he wants to fly in
Rilech wants an angle here is fanatic healthy enough
the headshot is good from samd steps forward gets damaged
jams probie in fog of war a game making game breaking place
down the way onto a mini now unleashes power no execute public execution is
going the savage the collapse nabi a sick of the tour they've got only a
a couple of kills and he can finish up second, first response, he gets out with a Valkyrie.
Four members chasing his corks, he's down, he's running for his life but he can't do
too much anymore, but he goes and gets a flash but everyone else is dead.
Nabi finally bring a play together, it's for the left over the wall, he's going to see a land,
catches Embras and Nabi say enough, it's enough.
Pulling down the flank, they finally put the nail in the coffin of Fnatic for this game.
But by God, did Navi have to work for it?
They had to work for it.
They got close to it again, revisiting game one.
Bloody's not going to find anything here.
Relics will take him down for the ace,
and we go the distance here in every France.
And at this stage, I do not know how this series is going
to go.
Navi have gotten control of every early game,
A fanatic have pushed them the distance every single time.
It is not clean League of Legends medic.
But no one's saying it's bad.
I mean, we're having a fun time.
The early game's slow just so we can pace ourselves
into this rollercoaster of emotion
that happens 20 minutes afterwards.
I'm saying it's bad.
I'm very much happy to say that that League of Legends was not good.
Okay, no, no, no, no, no, I'm gonna fight you, I'm gonna fight you.
Navi was 7000 gold ahead. I'm gonna fight you.
I'm gonna fight you. Bring it.
He's gonna fight you. Bring it, man.
You think you can take me?
Physically, no. Mentally, absolutely.
Obviously.
The early game was fantastic for Navi.
Yes, and then they...
The way they moved around the map, the way that they took objectives,
the way they played Dragonfights, absolutely very clean.
I think Navi deserved that credit. I like their approach to the game and I love that the way that they started this game off
It was just a slight point
Fnatic magic happened. Yes, that's how we're gonna brand it. The Fnatic Magic
It wasn't enough to put this to dust
Yes, you're seeing it. You're seeing sprinkles. The dust, the Fnatic Magic dust
That's been a dust
I mean I want to talk a little bit about what you said because I agree with Vettie the Navi ascension
The Navig Gold lead was very organic very locally produced quickly say, but then we saw very quickly
He can't agree with you, but you really want to say something the guy forgot to take his tag off
because it's a very organic home drone.
But then came the synthetic GMO modified dives
that just keeps happening in this series
because really, he sees something in the bottom tier two
and maintain this game.
Yes.
The synthetic bush has now evolved
into the fanatic tier two bottom
because every single time they come back,
it's around the tier two.
And I don't know what they have planted down there
if there's some claymores in the ground,
if there's some kind of things in the grass there
because it's something that just makes people
go absolutely ludicrous and just dives them
and it just keeps working.
It was very similar in the past on the bot lane tier 2, when Redside is pushing in.
Often we saw people diving that tier 2 and dying, so maybe it's just something to do with that lane when you have Baron that you just need to avoid it.
Navi were able to get ahead in the early game as we said, they had a couple of really good dragon fights where their teamfighting was actually very fun to watch.
If we ignore the 7k to 2.5k gold lead, that really shouldn't have happened.
Let's have a look back to some of the earlier portions of the game.
I think that the way Navi approached all of these fights was very good.
Some of the criticism I've given of Navi is sometimes their coordination looks a little bit off.
And the way they started this fight, I think they largely took advantage of the way that Upset misplayed the fight more so than their approach.
But once they repositioned, even though they were a man down, they outplayed a lot of the plays that Fnatic were trying to make,
regrouped and were able to fight back and secure the draw.
I'm not sure of the sentiment. To me, that fight was pure hands day from Navi.
I feel like they just executed better in a micro manner.
and they catch out Empyro's on the side and Bloody doesn't really have a good flank here.
Bloody's playing from to back Ori, which rarely turns out well.
I would love to see him go from the other angle there and try to sneak into the backline,
but when you're Ori ult-sealing and using the charm on the Bard that doesn't even die,
it really sets a bad tone for the following of the pipe.
Because now he's just left here without anything.
Racer manages to get the dragon, but he gets cancelled by the Scatter,
and here he's just a slow chase and really just thinks he's caught,
but he cleans up this fight.
I will admit, in the game I didn't think about it,
but now watching back to these replays, I feel like this was a bit of foreshadowing for the outcome of the game
because the more I watch, the more I am seeing some of this coordination problem spring for Na'Vi,
where I do feel like that in some of these fights, the reason why they're coming out ahead is because of the gold lead that they've already been able to generate.
So I do feel that for Na'Vi, I need to see slightly crisper play from them, because similar to what we saw yesterday,
the early games have not been their problem at all.
I think that they know exactly how to play lanes. They've got good solid laners
They know how to enable reletch, reletch returns that in kind back to the lanes
And that's where a lot of their fundamental gold leads come from but then in the mid game
I feel like some of their approach to team fights are a little bit shaky and then also the way in which they tried to close out games
It's also like it's awkward. It does feel like the fanatic are I mean
I don't they all remain in calm in these situations and they're looking for opportunities to bounce back
And again, we saw it in this game similar to last game
But they're able to punish the small of a set so that now it shifters. Thank you
Because I feel like what Navi didn't do in game one and why the loss came one also because they couldn't refocus at least this game
To some degree they managed to refocus in that chaotic late game where they're lost there's seven K gold
It was turned out to like 1.8 K. Yeah, they did find that crucial fight on the midway that actually finalized the game
So it comes down to just here as well. They're just starting by when they're soaring raster
They're doing good plays when they are planned, but the moment they go off script
I feel like something in Navi just goes really really really wrong
I feel like they are just so used to
Playing it by the book doing it organically homegrown, but when they have to do something extra
Curricular that's not the right word, but extra restaurant. That's not the right word either. It's also an extra word
They just lose the cup
I mean lose the pot this series is shown to me that number one the main reason why I've put Navi at like that fifth
Sixth position so far this split is because there is that something missing to push them into that top four
Which is fine
Especially for a relatively young team that only came together this year
The other thing they showed to me is fanatic are exceeding my expectations quite a lot because no no no
You you have to admit that they are making it much harder for teams
Think about how Navi have been the other bottom teams
Fanatic have made it much harder for Navi to close out compared to what we've been seeing
I think the important clarifier we need here very. Yeah, what were your expectations of
Bottom bottom or were they just oh, they're probably our seventh best team
Well, I think that they like I think at times I change really hard between heretic shifters and fanatic
But they were all there. I thought that fanatic was worse than SK that was my impression coming into the weekend
Even after their victory against G2. I still didn't have I
They did then lose to SK, so it makes sense.
Right, I mean, that probably is also further, yeah.
So that's why I did have very low expectations for Fnatic.
So I guess I am pleasantly, sorry, I apologize.
It was a strong pee.
I'm pleasantly surprised by how well Fnatic have been doing
in these very specific moments.
Like, at least they're showing resilience,
they're not just rolling over and dying, and they are,
they are still, like, it's one-on-one, they can still win the series.
I mean, it's kind of the rabbit versus the turtle in this series. I feel like I mean, I think now is the rabbit
Okay, this is the turtle and the one game one by just turtle maxing just staying there
And the only game to the rabbit actually came out ahead despite taking all that side missions going on the trial
Okay, I want to see what happens in game three because I have no idea what's gonna happen in game three from seeing these two games
I can really see it going either way. Okay
Can you, can you really see it going either way?
Yes.
Because I feel like you've seen the evolution of Navi saying, okay, we can get ahead and
then we threw and now we get ahead and we threw a little bit but we still won the game.
And then a 7k goal lead turned out to 1.8k and they still won the game.
So my thought is, do Navi not just get ahead and then actually just close out the game
and Fnatic don't really manage to do anything to stop them from closing out the game?
Potentially.
Potentially.
So, I think, what Fanatic have demonstrated to me is that they have, they do have a better
light game than Navi do. Navi just has a better early game, and then the mid game is where
everything is a bit, woo! So, really, we're just kind of waiting for that mid game to
see how things shake up. Do you believe in the turtle or the hare? It's the tall
toy side.
So, how do you fix it? How do you fix it? We've got the drafts in both the
games so far. If you want to fix mid game for both these teams, really, like
Fanatic's late game is solid and Navi's late game was okay, but how do you fix mid game to make it easier?
Thing you take Navi. Yeah, if that's okay. How do you fix Navi's mid game?
I'm a clear to me the crucial factor in the mid game is
And I feel like what's not Navi needs to do is just make sure that we leech and parrots go for which vision together
And don't overextend it's usually these dives you see they get really excited when they find a trunk when they find a
pick, but if they just learn to take the small pieces, Wildturtle just always say that, don't
go for the whole chicken, go for the drumstick.
And that's something that the person never knows.
I think that Na'Vi, to me, need to go back to the style that has worked for them a lot
of this year, which is slap me in the back on a tank.
Get them on that side, get them on the on, and then you get reletched onto something
like the Atrox or the Zahem.
That to me is the best and most coordinated version of Na'Vi that we see.
Meanwhile for Fnatic, I think that they've put a lot of the engage responsibility onto Razork.
I wouldn't be against LossBert going back to an engaged support.
Now that ReignChamps have moved out of the meta, Alistair, Nautilus, these type of champions
may very well be the thing that better enables LossBert to set up his team for success.
Not out of the meta, but out of the pool.
Yes.
Importantly.
Sorry, that is what I meant.
My apologies.
That's fine.
We're on the same wavelength, even if no one at home can understand you.
We're going to go into a short break before we come back with game three of this series.
We're going to a stage, but I think we're going to have to do it.
Yeah?
Yeah?
We're going to have to do it.
We're going to have to do it.

Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend to live alone
Cause when we're gone, everything goes on
You were staring at the windows
And you said I wanted to take you to the sea
When I'm better, I will do everything
I gotta start making promises I can't keep
But if I was gone tomorrow, won't the waves crash on?
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Some day I'll be overcast
But you won't have to cry
Because we're too grieving
But I'm by your side
I said, don't try to make yourself numb
Don't let go of your fear
I'm just a story you've picked up
So let's pretend we're the ones
I'm better because we're both gone
And everything goes on
And I'm so scared of getting used to things
All the finds that keep you tethered in your room
Some day both of us are leaving here
But for now I'll just bring this CD to you
What team played the most games in total for LEC versus and how many games?
That's a tough one.
Oh my god.
I shouldn't watch playoffs.
It's probably KC or G2.
It's someone who went to loads of brackets.
It's KC.
I think this is KC.
I think it's probably KC, right?
Then I'm going to say KC.
I played a lot in playoffs.
KC.
It's already the season first.
Mathematics.
Regular season was 11 games.
3 games, G2 or 2.
High games, small games, vitality.
Let's go 27, 24.
I would say 26.
Go to 3-3.
I guess KSC 31 games.
31?
31 games.
KSC with, like, 31 games?
Quick maths.
I mean, I can't even count that well done to our players,
as we get you to game three in an arena
that, you know, was kind of cheering for, uh,
for Navi to, you know, smash us in the first game
in the second game.
They got disappointed after the first game, but hey, in the last one, let's just be real.
Navi actually put the pieces together finally, and won the game.
I mean, it still took them a while though, like, it didn't look as clean as you would hope to,
and especially because a lot of that conversation coming into this weekend was,
Navi showing us what they're worth, elevate yourself.
It hasn't really been what we've seen from them at all, like,
and honestly, this felt like a step back for them across the series.
I mean, Navi this split, I mean, I think it being a disappointment so far,
It is simply because we had these high expectations,
we talked about the development and versus
how exciting it could be to be like,
oh, you are stepping into the top four.
Today so far, a performance like that
doesn't fill us with confidence.
Now, Metic did say bad game play on the best.
Yeah.
I was beating around the bush because I think
in some ways, the other game was pretty clean.
And in that sense, it was very good.
But, the ability to convert it in mid-game
has been a bit rubbish.
I mean, in my head, delayed you to Spinach.
I think I misheard it.
Spinach.
Is it like Pop-On?
Like I know we got the rock, but I don't think we have Pop-On.
I heard Spinach again, producer.
If you would like to repeat.
Water is a spillage.
Spillage.
I heard Spinach.
I thought someone's eating Spinach.
I love the idea.
I have more of my head with the idea like someone
has popped a kind of Spinach.
I didn't know.
Po-Bee Pop-On.
Just got lucky.
Massive arms, knocked everything on the dice.
It's like, yeah.
But I said, no, there's been a spillage
on the fanatic side of things it looks like, unfortunately.
So we're taking a little bit of time.
Yeah, it's a lost buff.
Oh, dear.
Absent looks a little bit annoyed.
Yeah, bro, you got some on mine.
Yeah.
You got some on my keyboard, man.
Coaches comparing notes saying, yeah,
if we put cups on the lids on my cups.
Yeah.
Hang on.
What do we have to go for the sippy cup?
Grabs, you think sippy cup?
What do you think?
Yeah, I guess we if we give them a city cup. Yeah, that might work. Hang on
What if we just make the lid smaller?
Meanwhile, I mean Narvin here. They already know they're talking about straws now like
We know sure that's why they're so chill I
Mean fanatic look if if this game if a spillage or spinach is the worst thing that happens to you
Then I think losing guys a little worse personally
Well that's one thing, if that's the worst thing to happen then everything else is great.
Yeah, because again, like this is a kind of what's been game for fanatic.
The last one.
I thought it's gonna knock them out, but they definitely need a little bit of help there.
Oh, is this a replay?
Yeah, it is a replay.
Oh, it was upset!
It was upset.
Hang on a minute, that's all I used to sit in his hand.
Yeah, lost but I'm sorry, I'm sorry I said mean things to you.
it was upsets fault.
Well, let's hope that doesn't get in the way of synergy
as we get into game three.
Here we go, pick and ban,
keyboard's no longer wet,
mouse a dry, hands on the table in the correct position
as we find out what variety we're gonna get
in this final game.
You see though already,
this is what we're talking about from now,
that the Luluban needed
because the Korki Nami's already been taken,
which means that if it was a very difficult game
to play into something like the Lului Nara,
then we still have seen you now
compared to things like the Niko.
It's just less potent than when it's paired with the Lulu.
So, I'd love to see, like I still think you now
will probably be somewhere in this draft phase,
and just may not be first priority.
I wanna raise the possibility of things
like the Lucian comparison drafts
because we've had Lucian,
Milia pop up a lot in the ace,
obviously the ace difference as well.
Yep, Sandy, I mean, we're talking about,
we're talking about Korean AD carry
and a German AD carry as well,
who kind of has that spark.
So with Lula gone as well, we start going down that tier list now.
I'm glad you talked about it, you know, it's a really important point.
Look at how he carries, seem to be first pick of all is...
Kraus popping off.
I don't know what's happening in the background, but they're getting a little bit spicy with the way this series has gone.
The men sitting a little bit too long, the legs are getting a little bit jittery,
they're sitting in the Blanc bands, they're like, oh man, this craft as well makes us want to dance.
Well, Rumble and Wukong, still two very strong picks that are left open available.
Mentor could have needed to go towards the rumble here,
unless they do want to try and prioritize Unara.
Again, less potent without that enchanter beside her.
So I'd imagine it'll be a drift over
towards something like the rumble here in this case.
I'm going to get a zero instead,
but you're right about the rumble priority.
Well, that's an easy take as well.
There goes rumble, there's no job in the pair with it.
That is a slam of a yone from Vladi.
Can you imagine a crowd that boos you?
Every single person makes that sound
you decided you're gonna pull out your first yoni of the split right in front of them.
But it's not the first time he's played it right but he's very strong on the yoni and again pairs
very well with opening up a strong topside for a fanatic. Good side lanes, the ability to skirmish
and this kind of wombo combo if you do end up adding the wukong in after this I think could
be incredibly strong. I think for Navi I was going to say I don't think you want to go for
the knock turn here. Instead trying to go for this ahead. So early skirmishing the name of
of the game here again for Navi. On the Yone Bloody, 20 and 11 in total is most played at 31 games.
Obviously is here is most played by a loss but Yone slots in third so comfort here for
Bloody further to your point is we talked about tanks. Zaheim was a flex for the time being
but yeah Zaheim not for Zaheim. Yeah so if I'm fanatic I end up I think I slam the
either the Wukong or Zaya. I think the fact that you have, I'm sorry, Sam the Wukong fan away Zaya
on this next rotation because with Sam D in par, you want something that's gonna have a lot of
self-peel and with Ezreal already gone, Caitlyn gone, a lot of the kind of long-range champions gone.
Zaya then becomes the next big target to try and take off the board so you can find value
from this Wumble combo that you're setting up. You said it, there's a Wukong slam,
let's see the Zaya ban and then not only chat with like Pat Dacker on the back,
I might give him a hug later on as well, for being so correct all the time.
Yeah, I think just trying to get rid of that little shoulder rub.
I am waiting for the Zaya band, but you're going to get a shoulder rub now.
But I do think, yeah, I think trying to ban 80 carries that have that self-heal.
At least get rid of the Zaya.
I don't think there's too much left.
Maybe you are nervous about the Lucian Slam here, as at least he has that dash as well.
But I think that's kind of where my eyes would drift to.
For Navi side of things, I think finding a way to support is probably more important here, trying to keep yourself in a decent spot.
Supports that can fall off on the engage, right? Like again, we talked about enchantments of the mix.
Things like Milio would be higher priority for Lucian there as a pairing.
You did also talk about something like the Unara, a really good spot earlier on, the priority of that AD carry.
They're thinking about it on the side of Navi, I'm sure.
And yeah, okay, that's you you pulled that out of the any cat boys
You said it's going lower and lower desire was when you pulled out
Which seems so right when you have so much dive and layering
Yeah, I think it'd be silly not to because even then like so many of your champions are
Nullified by a Recon in this sort of situation as well and under Khan Khan do relatively well with the limited
Enchanter pool now there especially with Lulu who's his big
His big problem in a lot of these matchups as well with an odd list
So you take the Zyre then.
Maybe that's the call, yeah.
Like, Rakan can work very well with a lot of this follow-up as well.
So maybe there, I'm getting for that Zyre Rakan instead for themselves,
which could definitely be an option here.
Yeah, you'd lose one part, apparently,
if they want to take it away on Navi's side,
but five seconds for Parris to decide here.
And Eddie Carries have been sent westward.
They're just not coming back in this game in this series.
Kaisa gone now as well.
If they don't take this IHG, they forfeit the AD carry, they get Niko.
Fnatic would have more about the pairing of the engage.
Maybe, maybe Zaya just overlooked here in this game.
I mean, I'll be able to pick it up.
I mean, Zaya's would have gone towards the IHG, it's just something that's trying to keep fighting.
And the ability to appeal for itself.
I'm not liking the MF here.
I don't think you've got enough setup for, like you could probably go for some sort of engage champion here,
like the Rael or the Reconid, you want to try and set up for there it is.
Zaya, you can't do the next half.
I have a hug.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You called it.
You literally called this drop from the start.
Zaya Rakan now locked in for Navi, which feels like the best way to negate all this
Fnatic dive, all this Fnatic backline access.
Sivir to pair up.
What do you think of Fnatic?
I think for Fnatic it's very simple what they want to do, right?
They just want to dive in and just deal as much damage as possible across the
line.
I think they've got good answers into a lot of that.
You've got the mobility of an Azir, the desire we're already talking about,
the ability to go up with the feather storm and keep yourself safe.
And you've got good bruisers, but also Rakan, very good into short-range compositions.
Because he can get a ton of value from just running around with the quickness.
And when you've got a triple melee composition, and with Niko who wants to play short-range
and Sivir who's relatively short-range, Fnatic, I think can struggle into what Nabi has drafted.
Plus as well, let's not forget, Sivir into Rakan, Rakan can dive in, he's got quickness up and available.
You're getting hit by the knockup W, or you're getting hit by the quickness, that's Belchure and Aem block in both.
And I feel like it is a valid point when the versatility of the support is now the discussion here,
that Navi have very simple compet scenes.
You know, you talk about fanatics identity, it's like, we know what they want to do.
But for Navi, their ability to execute here as well ain't going to be that hard when they've got a front to back,
back when they've got utilization from their own carries like mobility from the
Azir, Sandy with that ulti to stay alive as well. Navi have drafted themselves a
competition in game number three, trying to weather out the storm against
Fnatic, maybe get it past the mid game and show us their cleanest performance yet
because today has been hard for the squad. Fnatic have tested and passed that 20-minute mark.
Every single damn game so far. And when you look at what has been
Successful for Fanatic is when trying to find those picks inside lanes and at least for Fanatic
This comp plays very well if you can get position on sides. Ladi going to be very strong and Peros
Going to be able to push against Mainter and I think that's where you can find the success for Fanatic in playing on sides
Especially because upset a ton of clear in the silver like if you can allow lost but to roam
Maybe these plays on sides are Fanatic's way to push this to the finish line
We'll see how these lanes go first.
We know for Poby, you'll have a bit of range of vantage and be able to play through the
early levels of this lane until Bloody has a bit more all-in threat.
Now Razork needs to rush to level six, but also we'll say for Reletch, it's not like
he has the fastest pace early game either.
There's Jungler's start on the off-sides of each other.
There will be a ward spotting out Razork as he moves down towards having what Medic
would call the Razor Beaks.
I don't call them raptors anymore in my head, it's Razorbeaks because I listen to Medics so much.
And now I just, it throws me off massively, I don't know why. Razorbeaks. I mean technically.
I mean the raptors were the first.
Yeah, raptors were the first.
Yeah, it's a hold on them, right? Like it's like tabloid. You need your tabloid, you know?
Instead of painted steel cups, which I always have to double check myself out.
I think some people still call them like wraiths, right?
Yeah.
is not right but still it's like that's where they were.
Remember when Red Bull used to have two little minions beside us?
Two minions beside us, yeah.
Those are the days weren't it?
Leagues change your life.
Been around for 16 years.
Yeah.
That's mad.
I haven't played this game for a long, long time.
I think it's better than the second cast last week and I'm pretty sure we've all said
there are champions that are older than some of the player base, you know?
Like I did for example, right?
And for example, yeah, there's a lot of old champions now.
I mean, Sion as well.
True.
This game.
I remember my favorite Sion, obviously, the previous iteration,
when he went AP and he's Easton.
He's so good.
And AP scaling, and you just half health someone.
With a point of clickability.
Yeah.
I mean, my favorite of all time was Fiddlesticks.
Fiddlesticks was the best champion of all time.
Who loved your support?
Because the dark wind bounce was so silly when enemy champions like this isolated and you get dark wind bounce 4 times on each and suddenly a quarter or like a third of HP is gone because you press your E button.
It was very stupid.
Yeah, there's been some weird iterations of me.
Yeah.
And I have to say, I know this new patch, I'm very excited to actually see it's going to go.
But rather than rewards, there's no world you're looking for at times already.
They're pretty healthy here from Sam D. Minimum wave is thin as well,
Razor is using this opportunity to back away.
Yeah, as you said he won't find anything using a relish, as found an opening in top,
decimating Smash. In fact, Ampros might just be dead, it's much more main throat. Relish,
Watch my say to the end, mate, they're gone away!
They're just relinched!
Embrace just says, can't that be bro?
Is this top laner supposed to be on one there?
I wonder, could it?
Oh my god, Embrace fractured away,
barely surviving, lost a clutch play from Emberace.
Maitre and relinch, we're going to have to have a dog
as this looks like a short kill.
This was insane.
Like the pullback into the knockup, it looks like it's done and dusted, the shield, barely there,
Mainter doesn't get the damage and Renech, just shy on the E damage as well.
Oh my god.
That was massive for Amperos, like this way it will clear up, but you're still looking
at about a 6-700 gold lead for the rumble.
He's got Swifties, and already in the matchup he's going to be comfortable, Equalizer's
coming up very soon by the way.
So not only that he'll have himself another bit of wave clear to push and go back and
probably get an early building to Leandres.
So dagged up, there is a problem in top.
I think Ampros, chance to carry this game now on him right, we want to see this guy
step up, we want him to show us that Fnatic made the right choice in pulling him into
the LEC.
And Ampros' debut year, let's see what he can do now, leading that 1000 gold lead
as he gets a push in top lane consistently.
Now level 6 as well by the way.
So Mainter is going to be in trouble.
It also slowed Reledge down in his tier as well.
So, I'm going to start moving out.
Actually going for a repeat gank
it looks like in this top side.
Trying to right some wrongs.
But as you say, level 6,
they have to be ticked over for Mainter as well.
Reledge does not have the level 6 himself
for a bit of extra mobility.
Mainter is trying to draw in the wave.
But unfortunately it's pushing against him.
And so Warnslaw gonna be sent. They're gonna fix his play decimating smash.
Those equaliser on the wave. This time I think Navi know they can fix it.
There's no turret in the way. They get a shutdown.
Naita gets about 500 gold for us.
And all of a sudden, Epros' gold lead is minimized.
Yeah, Renech. He's messing a lot on that topside.
But Razark not even to really get much back.
Cleared out his own crubs. Now moving in towards Dragon.
It looks like they will end up starting it off as he's gonna be able to take this away.
Well still, I mean at least that he gets something back, still though. I think I'm happy for him, Peros.
He's got some good gold under his belt, and should be able to catch the majority of everything upstairs.
Indish Ash is not picked up just yet, but double Antoma and Ruby Crystal. Tidby can be burned by Mainta.
Improssor, he burns his before. Spectral Cow picked up, which is kind of nice to the scion though.
So, no boots, but Mainta will be able to absorb a little bit more of that 1v1 pressure.
So, I think, honestly, much better third to the early game for Fnatic.
Like, when you look at the last couple of games, it's kind of been this slow, steady, Navi winging through the laning phase.
But that's a lot of arrows pointing red and Razor clicking for the invade here.
As level 6, Rilech does not again with a level advantage.
And no grid deliverance, Razor. No CSE advantage. Cyclone gonna start us off.
Boss was coming in for the engage as well. Good extra damage. You get to Tanglebombs only under one as he pops down a Q.
Now they just back away and Razlok now down an ulti. Red buff did go over to Relage as he hits level 6 himself.
He gave him options with the Grim Deliverance with Fnatic back away. This is now a little dicey as you've got multiple members that can move over.
They sealed available for Bloody Israel. Poby had the shuffle at 3v3. This would be a smite as in steal away the objective.
Razlok went up to about 146, but unfortunately no steal.
Yeah, I think the reset just came through to send them back in which gave them that regen.
So overall, Fnatic not quite what they would have hoped for off the invade, missing out on both those smites.
But they do have, again, control over a lot of this map, and I like that they're trying to push these advantages.
As Razork hides, that level 6 push just couldn't quite capitalise on us.
With the Riftrake from bloody steps up, steps back, things are getting more comfortable for him in the lane obviously as Goldlead has gone from what we saw before for Fnatic.
about 200 if you want to be specific but that top-line game neutralized the game again and
slowed us right down again as Crocs were up in 20 seconds first dragon we picked up by Fnatic and
even though it feels like a different pace it just feel like again Na'Vi are just trying to
chill and combat the aggression that came out of the early lane before. Baris getting some
nice key vision here though making sure that there's at least information as to what this
who Kong is up to. And even just him roaming around the map makes things a little bit more honest.
I was glad he liked your calls, just a dash back. He steps back just a little bit.
There's a Navi, they thought this was off on the ground on the top side and
yeah I think they just... Rilech happy that look I've got the vision. I know that Razark
isn't trying to contest here so I'm just going to try and take both these.
Even going to look for the third here as well in just a second and crap like
He's now going to be able to match a lot of the early pressure outside the early gold lead and experience lead that Razor could have been able to guess.
Dragon I think is still going to be more of the focus here for Fanatic.
And K'Veshe is upstairs to work up towards the SS Reaver.
They're going to clear out waves very effectively on this bottom side of the map.
And I think that's where for Fanatic, they'll look to continue putting that pressure.
I hope that they can look through Vladdy with Razor's ultimate coming back up to find success in early scrimmages.
Cause again, we took that for nice comp being like let the execution is easy, right?
You know, we know how it sets up.
There's a lot of engaged tools, whether it's loss for Bloody Rizor.
We know there's a lot of damage follow up as well.
Like layering, if you can come from Grainsmen, Ampros gets involved.
There's a little trade here from Bloody to get the tar plate and chunk up Hobie on the way out.
And using this for an Invade, Rizor wants to get in the face of Reletch once again.
He's cycling back up and available at 1200.
So, this Mike, Reletch, he's going to get that 1k and as he presses his F button, there's no cigar for Ryzork in the end.
You're not going to have to get it, sorry, to make it work, so instead, it's just kind of keeping track on Reletch.
And again, like, even though Ryzork is putting some time and effort into this, their combo around objectives is really what Fnatic are playing for.
And if he can prevent Reletch from interacting with this top lane, the Pyros gets to keep kind of scaling into position where he's happy using this burst truck to try and get into a good spot.
Because after the first couple of ganks you can see he's behind in the CS department,
a little bit behind when it comes to the experience.
And it's just that goal, those two kills that are keeping him in check in that top lane.
Because if he didn't have them, I'd be very concerned right now.
With the way, as you said, the CS is going, getting the push in here.
There's a bit of a wave for Mainter as he doesn't have the TP, so he's going to have to stay.
We are focusing on bot lane at the time being, because Dragon's up in a minute
and it is important to look at how setup is going to begin here.
with Narvi getting pushed, with that TP being burned by Poby who's got Nash's,
the item advantage might mean something here.
The second dragon to deny from Fnatic would be nice from Narvi,
considering we know how dragons have influenced this series so far.
Yeah, I want to try and keep my eyes on how Relentia's going to try and set up for this next dragon,
because overall I do think they're in a bit of a precarious boss.
Like you do have at least the first item completed there for Paul B, which does help a little bit on the Triforce
But I still think like on these early skirmishes where you're kind of teetering over towards one item
I just much prefer the top half of the mop for fanatic, but they can't really get in for some balls in this next dragon
So maybe Navi feel like the strawman up with the bit pushes that they have and the vision controls
Or they have they try and combat this because Paris has been doing a fantastic job of getting in and consistently getting more
He's chunked out a little bit for this dragon though.
Harris's aim on vision has layered down towards his blue buff towards try.
Troll will be taking care of my Sam D, but Rilech with his double smite he's going to
start off the dragon and he'll be smiting it down for the second as well.
So stacking stopped, slow early game guys.
We're back.
Yeah we didn't see this at all.
No, I mean one game attempt and Rilech was like, whoa, I got it back here, quicken's
going to be used as I said Upset has the flash away and the quickness and charm it's lost for
but he's okay. Flash burn Upset it's going to be a win here with this someone down. Yeah still
not going to net too much as you say Upset. I did have to bring the flash but I think again uh the
I think if you can find the follow-up from our election to this bottom side I think that's
really going to be the focus or if you can try and get the uh the players fanatics actually
shift Upset towards mid lane but it's still kind of difficult at the moment just with the
the way it does. They haven't been able to establish themselves fully to figure out exactly
how they want to try and play in these waves.
The flooding taken by Sam Deek. I'm just gonna back off after clearing the wave. Now, next
thing up and available is Harold. You know, I'm sitting here, Dagger, I said it's gonna
be found by Paris. I'm sitting here thinking, you know what would be really nice as castes?
Yeah.
You know, if we had like, you know one of those foot scrub machines, those ones
a massage. Imagine sitting here in the early game when things are chilled. Maybe not chilled,
ready to return. Up to get a barrel, but he's got no flash. The punish is great, the spell
is good, even better. Pop awesome from Lospa. Saving grace. No time for a foot scrub. It's equalized
for a member of a very good, but Rilech walks in the waiting arms of fighting a fate sealed
and a fate given to the ashes. Rilech is dead and perhaps with the wrong shot,
a map and upside. As the Sibba wants to claim this kill, and he should with ease,
There's nowhere for parents to go, at least trying to buy some space for the Ringblade.
Heal up, one more auto, upset, running for the chase.
Razzle there to take the kill in the end, but fourth of Fnatic, and even though Ambrose didn't get too much,
they still got a kill running into melee range.
Big mistake coming through from Nabi, trying to overforce the play on the bottom side, and they're punished.
Because at least at the get-go, they've been in an okay spot.
They started to again see this establishment of strong winds through the lanes when it came towards the goal.
But an overforce now on the bottom side.
And it's time for Rech, trying to punish the flashless upset.
But it's a good spell shield and the heal that keeps him topped up.
And you called him the fight, lost but with that ultimus, keeps Navey at bay.
Flatty with the roll and Pyrrhus with the TP.
Fanatic knew that if they could just bring enough members to the party, they could win the fight.
There's a flight so much to go through the spell shield.
Upset spell shield still causes a nuisance for Navey.
Over-comment, bit of punishment here, and Fnatic getting a little bit more gold on that rumble as well.
Leandro's picked up and Razzle gets the bonk onto Paris at the end of the play.
Dragon's up in 2 minutes 30, that'll be the next focus here as it's split down the middle for now.
The 45 seconds, Herald will bust open the mid lane, and at least add a little bit more gold in the pocket.
As Fnatic are ready to fight once again, they've got everything up outside of that lospor and bloody ult.
You know when I say everything I lied to, we almost got everything up for Fnatic.
While I'm looking on the other side, everything there for Navi.
So big executions on this fight as we come up for third drake.
Still push for Navi on this bottom side and shift over to get vision.
And again, I think this is where Paris has been excited in this game is keeping pressure with that vision.
Yeah.
I'm really giving information on Navi as to how they want to play.
Didn't work out in the last one.
Well, should help them as they start to tear over towards his back dragon.
Eyes on Ryzorg though, as to if he wants to try and contest for the Rift Terran as a spot as a body
and you feel a bit of pressure.
Good ward though, and he's also got Lost for coming down, so there's a bit of coverage here for the Midlaner of Fnatic.
That Herald is also up now as well, so the top lane is if they abandon,
that pressure will lead into the consumption of the Herald as Ryzorg is looking for an angle,
trying to get over the wall, he'll sneak over.
I don't think he was spotted on.
No, he was not.
TP?
Oh, Poby's gonna TP out, wants to get top instead. They're gonna swap over. They're gonna enable that Herald.
That means that bot is gonna be given up, but when Herald subside, not a bad mission here for Na'Vi.
Well, the fact that you end up ulting the wave as a Pyrrhus means that you can't trade the tower, so you have to look for Rift Tower.
The thing is, Rift Tower will net you a tower in theory, but Fnatic just got a tower.
So if I'm Fnatic, I think I'm like, I'm happy with this trade with it already.
Like you're getting the first tourist and you're getting the first so you can keep up the temple advantage
Now Navi actually got to be able to get the tower
Okay
But you should as far out if you have to get on back into the map and control space particularly for this dragon in 30 seconds
That dragon's gonna be a big one as well. Just the stats alone
And both these comps have so much scaling when the heaven is there's dire up the side
You know what Yonee Sivit do quite easily
so
Stats that stats is the name of the game 20 seconds for that dragon fanatic have mid lane control. Thanks to Siva
Reset here from Sam D. He comes back with a zeal also level 11 just hit for Razzark as well
This is like I'm going to be doing a ton of work now in this place
Oh, yeah, so I think this is where for fanatic moving
Plotty down is going to be their focus and try and find it resets are here for Navi though in a position where they
Can't contest I'm a ripped out to try and crack mid fanatic kind of need to force this fight quick
Yeah, but for Fnatic, they won't have an equaliser, so they need double advantage first.
Parris gets chunked down by the Herald as pressure diminishes.
Wadi also chunked down too.
He'll solo defend his turret for the time being, but Naby just walk on up.
They'll use that pressure to open it up.
And Dragon now thought about here for Fnatic, but they're going to use a battle Herald from Naby
to a couple of spins.
Reledge backs out of it, now heads towards river as Parris gets poked out again.
Fnatic kind of separated here, moving down towards his bottom side, leaving Wadi on the flank.
Nabi used Mainter as his buffer to enter into the pit.
The Mainter takes no damage as he doesn't pop the Cyclone, which is good for Fnatic, for Fnabi.
But they're also good that they're in the position to contest this dragon, Lothba with a flank.
What's a pop blossom of the centuries here.
Desimating smash onto Ampros, Ralech with an angle.
Peoria rushes into the pit, Ryblook takes that opportunity, equalizer.
Fantastic as well. Pop blossom! Even better for Lothba!
Mainter's going to die on the front line, while Lothba stack rushes light over to the backline of Nabi.
Fnatic, they've gotten the dragon, they're catting out, they're heroes here for the Fnatic faithful.
As Narvae getting re-engaged again, there's the ulti from Poby,
Vladi's coming in to help out Rizok, jumped in to die, flushed onto a Poby,
saved by support, no good flighting, runs through Paris, now Relation has been as the flush away.
Rizok was crazy for going back in, but Vladi picks up the pieces.
Vladi able to get the kill on the outskirts for it again, lost by what a huge play here.
because Empyroses gets caught in the pits or alleged things, okay let's go in and try and follow.
But then there's the Ultimus which is immediately ulted by Sam-
Ormall Ultimus immediately ulted by Sam G, Vlad goes into Narnia with his ult there,
but it's Lospa, who ends up with a massive ult on the backline
that secures the dragon for Fanatic and then they start to back away.
But as you say, Razork tries to go into Poby here.
Poby has the ultimate, so ends up with him buries, please.
And they do get a follow-up, but Razork doesn't survive for it.
And it's bloody flash, that just barely ends up claiming one of the back.
Thomas dies good as well, Ralech has to flash, and it's a Rumble, they got elevated early, he's 1.2k gold in the lead, he's got a Void Star second.
So landing into him is Mainté, even though he has the um, the Kraken, I mean, uh, Kani Kruker, sorry, he's a Dagnit, thinking about the scene.
It is still a bit of negation, but will it be enough? I know you just made his pick up by Mainté as well.
That's what we'll let you get a sundered sky alongside his Trinity Force.
The second item's being built here.
Fnatic a little bit behind on that curve considering Upset is trying to get towards that Infinity Edge.
I can see similar values here from Bledy sitting with the pickaxe and flick of agility.
But once we get towards that, I mean Baron's up in 40 seconds if there is another fight.
Both these teams have reasonably quick Barons.
One mistake will open this game wide wide open.
I think there's small mistakes on the Mopset if the Fnatic are doing like...
You see him, Vladdy here is holding close to the mid-wave, but upside at this stage is completely fine
He just wouldn't shut the waves and move on with his life
So I think sending Vladdy to this top half to actually constantly be a threat is far more important for Fnatic
Because again, their side lane pressure is strong
Yep, and you have to over index his Navi then to try and protect the side lanes, but Fnatic now push boss
It's just eaten up by Poby so he's getting top wave and bot wave
Which is perfect for Navi in their team fighting and this ping pong in a blades only benefits Navi
It doesn't push the game forward for Fnatic
Need to do that again the one sitting with lead on this top lane and the ones who
So far with some of their agages have been great Paris not going to be caught out just yet jumps back to reletch
Focus is on this baron if there is a mistake, but again dragons up in two minutes 20 in
The fact that Razor got it last time, thanks to LostBus owning off the back line of NARV,
puts Fnatic in a good position in this game 3.
Some crest over the 20 minute mark and those two items I was talking about, well, Bladdy,
he's just picked up his lifeline with his shield bow, thank you so much.
And Upset, I think that Infinity Edge can't be far off here as Fnatic goes deep, find
Reletch, Razor's there, Dread of Return pulls him back in, doesn't play with the
knock up, they get a quickness, on top of his head, Razork's way too deep, he's going to
cycle him, but this guy is going to die eventually, Poby will shuffle over the wall, slide in,
and Ataric will take him down, if not the soldiers. Razork don't know what he's doing,
but in iguas I see the rest of the team finding the plate, he's flat, he tries a time of
misses, he tried the time of a sand d, burns his flash and he's out.
He needed to make that play though, because when Razork down, that could have been
the Baron call for Naby, but having SamD that low and have to reset Flash Burge as well, it
does mean that Naby can't really get much for the jungler for that to clean down.
SamD with no Flash, ulti down a little bit as well, a minute until dragon.
Let's see if Vlad is ulti, changes the way this game goes because they're going to
need some ultis in their own, but if SamD gets caught out he has nothing to save him
outside of Paris now.
Yeah it is gonna come down to some clutch ult usage because everything should be back
up when it comes to the ult economy for both sides and again you can see with
flash available on Razorak he should be be lining for Sam Dean a lot of these
fights so if you're on peel from Poby and Paris try and keep Navi's AD carry
alive. Sylvill, Navi with the Razorak needing to come back out to the map
we'll get some side lanes we'll get more golden towards Poby. Well Poby
opting in towards a very early Zonya's. I think you're in an okay
spot here is Navi to kind of keep yourself safe as long as you can protect
Sandi. As you said those ulcers will be back in available. Sandi has about 30, 20
seconds maybe. It's coming up quite fast as Navi moving to river. It's all
about this straight third one for Fanatic second for Navi. Rilech face
checking first clearing vision is Navi. Ampros holds the mid wave. Remember
his equalizer if it if it passed down well. Navi are in a lot of trouble.
as Dragon spawns and focus on this fight.
Lossford looking for a very similar position to the last Dragon fight.
We'll get worded out, but that didn't stop him from finding those positions.
Nabi needs to mark him a little bit better for the Dragon to start his.
Vladdy, ready to position and Splash available soon.
And Frost comes in from behind.
Equalizer not too bad, lines up Nabi, but they're behind time.
Lossford came in with the blue buff and dies as a Niko.
Razzle goes to get the seal, which is huge, but they have to get out.
Razzle pitted an instant, the rest of the fanatic at three.
Baron is up.
And I mean, Lospa tried to make the same play, but as a blue buff, that guy was chunky and obvious.
The ult from Apperos didn't really get much out of us, and Navi just immediately turned on towards Lospa,
not believing that Razor could really find the position that he needs.
There was no real real threat on towards Navi, so they don't get the dragon, but they get the Baron for us.
So, salt point for losing Baron, Vladdy trying to stop the back, if he went a little bit to the right, would have got Paris.
There's no way, right? There's no way?
Surely surely bloody the case might comes in. I didn't know what to expect there. I've seen crazier things. There's
Fnatic blues Baron and it is Navi who moved into gold great territory
And now becomes how much can I be get from this play because if you can hold on to this as fanatic
You're on top point if you can stop Navi from really getting a massive gold lead out of this
You're in a fantastic spot. What happened to you, Dagger?
So you get to see here, like... Exactly, buff!
But in Paris, there's no game with the Ultimates, so Navi just go,
cool, we have turned on towards the only flanking member that's there.
Razork does a great job of getting the smite steal,
but doesn't actually get the ultimate off to keep himself safe, so
it kind of just pours presence in the fight from Fnatic on ult usage as well.
You know, the only bonus, Dagger, is they didn't use anything
because they died before they could. I'm talking about Razork,
I'm talking about LOSPA. So Flash is both available for these big engage tools.
However, as you said, golden alpha navi, baron for navi. If fanatic and weather the
storm then there's another fight in them for the soul but three items on the
Zaya a lot going on with the siege in top two. Zaya will have her flash up.
Remember that was the focus point for the last fight was the fact you'd
burn so much on SanD coming into us and I don't get to capitalize so
they're still losing out on map space falling further behind in goals and
And it's Fnatic again who wants to be trying to push pressure advantages through their side lanes and through their dominant solo lanes, but are just not blinding Windows to do so.
The ledge found out, a level ahead of Razor, because the defence begins or rather continues from Fnatic.
Upset his topside clearing for now, next wave in, in about 10 seconds.
The other benefit of that last play for Navi is the fact that, oh hang on, now it's going to fall.
The Poby manages to complete a rabbit on set-cup instead of completing the Zonius
He held on to the Seekers, bought a second needlessly large rod before that last fight
Now Poby is incredibly strong as they start the siege
Ricochetes need to come in through from upset, the Razzle goes in then immediately back out while it comes in from an angle
The stop-targeting quite hard as Sandee again knows the Ricochetes equalize it down as well
Nabi's siege are we gonna say it again as on the hunt has been put
Upset wants blood and Svanadek their tools aren't going to be used. Simply equalize it, simply a Sivir on and a back.
With Baron buff to get Navi out of dodge.
So for Svanadek, they must hold on to two of their outer terrors. Mid lane is the easiest turret for them to defend because they've got a Sivir.
So Svanadek, it's not a back breaking amount that they've lost on the back of this Baron.
This fight will continue and it all comes down towards a potential infernal soul for Fnatic and this isn't sane.
Because coming into this series, I thought it was kind of locked for Navi.
I thought it was an easy Navi win. It looked significantly better, but the TP in behind.
If you flank onto EMPROS, he has Flash available, but no equalizer to try and win out the 1v2.
It's going to be very hard to win. Maitre is a fridge and that guy in over his door, standing on his Flash away from EMPROS.
Sionalty was burned a minute 20 before Dragon, but Mpros now a little bit more volatile with his flashdown.
But I just, I don't think it matters too much. Like Rumble obviously very good in flashing into a fight when you've got the Overheap and Flamespitter.
But if the rest of Fanatic do their job correctly, there should be enough space for him to just walk into the fight.
The big thing for me though is I need to see Imperial's combo in his ult with the rest of them.
the rest of it. Most of these fights we're seeing this equalizer go down with no real
setup. SamD isn't hit by it or just walks away. The combo on Fnatic is the crucial part
of their fights. We just haven't seen it work in tandem at all.
It's been zoning only, you're right. How'd a Fnatic bring it all together? And I will
say, I was worried about Mainz's ult. It's almost up. It's up now. Get some
ending smash around the end to a clone. That's Raziel because he gets away. Popey
does tag him though with half HP close to. On the hunt, popped. Upstitch tries to
get his jungle round now they don't have it for Dragon and I think they're just going to full call it.
Mainter pops his ultimates so I think it was the fear that ended up putting a little bit of pep into the step for Fanatic and then Navi
stoppers themselves in mid. Raddy will get that sideway turrets.
Bazook found into Clown immediately hoping not afraid to go in on his father's keepsake champion
as mid push continues in Dragon 5 seconds.
Ping onto the ward in behind Navi again though looking at the ward that's over by Fanatic's Raptors.
That's exactly what they're looking for just on the left side of your screen.
And they may look for it in just a moment.
Main turn to go into Hougensvladdy keeping him at bay at the moment though.
Vladdy's at half HP almost.
He'll have to heal up a little bit before he makes the flank if he doesn't just walk over for now.
But Dragon, as I said before, there's like too much was given up.
Too much pressure from Navi.
And it slows the game down again.
We're used to that here in this series.
It's been a great story so far.
And look, Matic, I'm talking to you now.
You might not like this personally, you might say,
well some of you out there might say it's bad League of Legends,
but isn't it just good to be immersed by such messy fun gameplay sometimes?
I mean this game, I will say, has been a little bit cleaner.
This game is coming down to those stakes we've set with the scaling compositions,
a little bit simpler, and a fight that I'm sure we will not forget
anytime soon as we come up towards the baron in 45 seconds.
And Navi seem to be in control for now, Dagda, but no one knows how this game is going to end.
So much of this has come down to as relaxed as a way that's camp is
Razor climbing planks and Navi has spotted them there consistently and made them pay for it
So now Fnatic like no dragon on the map for a while 30 seconds until Baron
They're trying to put the pressure in towards those pushing side lanes
But they're not getting a chance to use them like even at that last dragon
You've got the push from Vlad in top. He doesn't back away
He has a teleport advantage over mentor. He's trying to answer and they don't try and come for a fighter
They don't try and look for that flank. I think it's just
miscoordination of fanatic and now be kind of just getting to scale
But at any point in time if this comes together for fanatic, I think they have it like their combo is disgusting
The Paris may be so I'm gonna start off with a quickness as well
Paris gets quite low the ulti from Mainter just to get him in position is now down is really from an angle as well
double cyclone as Mainter in position to get electro-happoon. Fnatic has the river low help bar on the
Paris-Sandy a little bit off the top. Fnatic no it's not enough to start the Baron yet. Still a lot
of use by Naby. I'm not sure Fnatic could have tried to continue that. You have a lot of engaged
tools still available with Lospa and Bladdy but instead bit nervous in the back away. And
And you know, I keep getting critical of like, when Maintra is ulting, it doesn't matter, it's almost up again!
Yeah.
It's got like a 30 second cooldown at this point in the game.
So, 10 seconds you can see, back up.
It's also there was to cover in case Ladi's ultimate went down.
Ah, yeah.
Because at the end of clicking me onto Parse, I'm then immediately Maintra would slam into him.
So a lot of the time it is Maintra kind of covering the bases.
But Fnatic once more step up, no vision.
They spot this on the top lane.
I think they're aware they're elections reset as well.
So they're establishing vision once more.
But not like Razor can do anything about it.
His cyclone, quarter of the cooldown left for remaining,
upset the same.
It comes down to this Baron sitting up
and waiting for a foe.
Two minutes, 30 for Dragon to go.
It'll be soulful, fanatic, soul point for Navi.
Gold lead, meaning less and less,
even though we're at three, three and a half items.
It does feel like, again, this execution,
the burden of it on both of these teams
to find a crucial win for Fanatic.
also the Fnabi to move to five, a straight of return not going to land on the
Razzle. He goes to wrap to the safe guard and take the can. Smythe does get the
big chicken as Razzle runs back in, heals a little bit up, mid-waves have been
dealt with, dragon two minutes to go. There's a massive wave on top though, the
Fnatic are losing to Nabi, happy to last. Solid amount of gold
disappeared in that top half, lost both. Lines the triangle barbs, but there's
nothing there. Like Fnatic are still losing out on that map. The wave has
just been dealt with. It's gone, gone in the minuway, gone to the turret, another wave channeling
in, flat he gets chunked out a little bit. Baron is starting though. And with Sandy and
Relich they'll do this mega quick and look away for Naticar on the map. They're angling
more towards the bottom side, but it's a minute 30 to the dragon. This Baron just
done for free. Cheeky, isn't it? Navi just knew they had the window there at the timing.
They cleared the vision, they did their due diligence and then Natic were caught
napping.
That is the perfect reset time before that dragon, you were just talking about it.
We get to put pressure on the map and make it difficult for Fnatic to easily contest these positions.
And again, like Fnatic, they lost so much gold to those sideways while trying to contest this spot,
and Navi still got what they wanted.
It seems like Navi is starting to pull it together.
What can they do with this Baron Dagger?
That's going to be the biggest question, right?
They have to crack that top inner, bot inner, and try and make their way into the base to add pressure
so that this dragon stacking can be more in their favor. 45 seconds at the very least they're here.
Razork's found out back slowed down and it does feel like this third dragon will be Navi's.
We will be going to all seven dragons but Navi's seeding, Dagger, has always been in question.
That's a problem. They have over committed, overstayed. How do they approach Interpol?
There's no wards behind them this time for Fnatic to try and bail out.
It's fine.
It's Razork who's trying to look for flanks but his entire jungle is lit up like a Christmas
tree he is just walking from ward to ward to ward and Navi are backing away as they
just continue to spread out this farm but push on mid, Naito, I think doing good work
gets Ladi again there. Poby just teleported in behind Navi, not seeing
yet, good knock up from the ledge straight up return, Poby's done his massive
quickness, they pull the trigger flush away from Ampros, equalize the line, the
choke to save Brazork's life but it's almost dead to a couple of
autos. Navi have got the chunk to enable this dragon if it wasn't there
before is we'll let's just get a try and stop some backs if an addict just needs a
full send at some point but they're never getting the chance someone is
getting caught out every single time whether it's just getting poked down or
whether it's been sent packing an upset there you can see just popping the
ultimate solely to try and keep control of this terror once the threaten while
dragon does go down remains it's gonna hold you but remember who cares about
the cool down dragon down five minutes ago and I have to say Navi so
So far, their best show of control in this series,
and again, they had to lose gold,
but you know how they're spoken to.
Soon, Potry is going to hold out with the Empress of Ivory.
He's got another cyclone in him, but he can't get nearby.
The lady found out in mid, but it's only Sandy.
He sets it up, Sandy spaces, and they walk away.
But what are you hoping for, Raz?
Like, you're going into an Azir that has chuckle and flash,
and you're burning your own flash to make that happen?
Like, you should be holding these four big fights.
So then you can try and find some,
because now with Baron, it's 330.
He won't have Flash, he won't, like, actually, with Cosmic Inside he'll be up just shortly after,
but even then, like, I just, I don't understand the decision-making's happening and trying to combo here with Fnatic.
Now it's up to Fladi to find the big pass of the bar scorer on the end of the clone,
and Nabi, assieging this Taro like nobody's business,
Fnatic can't defend against his double supers, down it goes.
Open inhibitor up in the top lane, Hope is gonna push bot, and he's gonna be dealt with by Relatch.
And Fanatic don't have Razlok's full, as you said.
And the small cancel on the Paris is nice, but Razlok can only bonk him, he can run away.
And a bit more gold to Navi is just what the doctor ordered.
But that's it, like, say he had that side tone there, could have maybe got the pick on to Paris,
maybe that gives you the opportunity to push their waves, get mid-turt, so then the game's open.
Yeah, it just, to me it just feels bizarre.
Fanatic just seems to be kind of throwing things really nearly.
And Navi, like, they are just more controlled in the fights.
They're playing front to back. They know that as long as they keep Poby and Sam D safe,
there is very little that Fnatic can really do. Now we're to three dragons apiece and it feels like with both of these objectives
they're starting to come up fairly short shortly and four to five items they're being completed on Navi's carries
They're in a prime spot to carry this game. And then end the series. Don't forget if Fnatic lose this game, lose this series.
Not only are they going to win four, they're going to burst KC tomorrow in KC's arena.
And we've seen cases of are the cleanest ones here at our road show
So my concern is fanatic and the weekend two and five with only a single win that came through from shifters
And then they have to go back to LEC for two more series. Yes
It might be the end of fanatic. Honestly, this series might have a domino effect
As their defense continues again on this inner turret down the bottom side
Navi do not have a bomb off course but they have access to the turret, they need to get
to push in mid and finally it drops.
Navi just playing with the waves, they've done a better job in the map and they're
continuing to keep this pressure up now. All it is is just wait, wait for these items
to come through, wait for the timers to tick down and you can look like your
Poby is maximum. Like every time he's been able to get a couple of auto attacks
to Rizor, Rizor has had to run for the hills, he just does not have the help bar to manage
that.
And that's now Sam D with a ton of these luxury autobuses starting to come through, should
be very close to finishing off that last time, sorry the Lord Donnelly's regards, as we start
to crest over as well.
So it's just, it's a very strong position for Nadi.
Well here we go, Fematic even trying to break attack, the five members mid, mid
push negated by Sam D but Mank has got an angle right down river.
Bloody did complete the GA. So maybe once more bloody can kind of be the
Engaged tool here or at least the man to step up and try and do something for fanatic here because right now
They just haven't been able to get it started
They've got to start searing through the shield of Mainter at the very least it's good damage to seek for members from an
Electra heart to and this is in his danger zone
But like all the fanatic are in their danger zone right now is 30 seconds to the barren spawns minute 20 to drag
those timers are important especially in this final game series. Bloody steps up, can't do too much,
probably be definitely someone to watch here at four items as his damage also crazy. I mean
the scaling of these carries on both teams is nuts but as you said, obviously Navi in a much
better position.
And he's got the angle!
Parrot's just dead-sanding out with the feathers,
pop ultimum on the side, but Rillich,
he comes in with a green deliverance.
It's okay, I would say.
If Main doesn't just drop down,
Vladdy loves the haters, man,
as he lays down a perfect ulti.
Finally, Fnatic finds what they are looking for.
Vladdy, with the ultimate paired with Imperos,
can pick off the backline of Navi
and it's barren for Fnatic.
It'll burn down quick,
Relentless over the wall of Bruce deal has flash available, but it's too late
Baron for the night the never say die team of this series
Obviously then it's not be a look at what's up, but that's the thing for that agree set
They need to get back under the mop six seconds until the dragon spawns. This is potentially so for Navi
Now they can try and burst us down
Fanatic you need to get there. It's gone. It's just gone. They went for the Baron
They ran up to the purple one and they will lose soul for it
Wait, I don't know why they reset! They got two kills! Just walk to Dragon! Don't let Navi get us!
The old Baron for Saul. Now if they end on the Baron, maybe worth.
But look how many structures there are.
I know, there's a lot.
Mid-tier 1, 2 and 3, side lane, you've still got the two outer towers.
This is not an ending Baron for a fanatic and you've just given such a powerful so three infernal dragons over to Navi
Well that sounds like an issue
Elders coming up in five minutes. That's all I'm saying. What a way to end this area
It would be is we're back towards hogging over the mid lane
Vlad is also just hovering a little bit spot on the water. He transitions here
Main to him relaunch trying to find a pick over that wall, but Baron to push open
Now they're going to try and defend his mid lane, but Ups it's wave clear.
He's going to make this a reality, I'm sure, right?
So, though, I mean, you saw what Fanatic can't do if they could just pull the trigger,
but they have to go bloody once again!
Isolated is Razork. You're right, bloody. He's trying to find an angle.
He's got his fate sealed up again.
Now they hold on the mid lane, and it's empty. Wave clear.
Enough of the ballroom, apparently.
40 minutes into the game.
Fanatic have the shotgun, but they're forming with the ammunition right now.
trying to get into position and they just are dropping everywhere.
Rads are getting called, they can't form the engage, and again, like you just saw what they're capable of,
but they couldn't make it work now, this Baron is stalling.
They aren't getting pressure on Bustad, it's not going to go in answer.
Oh, Emperor, he's going to get hit with this, he flushes away, the Manta in range,
decimating smash, there it is, the knock into the sky with a darkened glaive.
As he goes golden he's got no one for Fnatic to back him up.
Enfros stepped too deep.
The rumble at 6-1 is now dead for 60.
So Naby, what you gonna push here, boss?
If I run be damned, it doesn't matter.
They have what they want you to pick.
I know a very clean way in towards your base.
Fnatic found one team fight.
So maybe just let us down.
Game three.
Naby gonna run in, boss.
As you said, now I'm going to slow down the push a little bit, but feeling confident here is this man who's not going to reach Razorq.
He hovers on the side, Sandeel in the next wave, TP going to be channeled.
In comes Paris, now with Bandal Pipes.
A little bit of a net up here for Sandeel as Razorq gets over the wall, he's found out with a lens.
As well, that chops his bottom wave with Poby, channel in, but they're going up against the SIVA.
The only thing Fnatic are really holding on to here, Dagger, with their mistakes, is the fact that the siege is so damn hard, because Upset 1 shops the waves.
Yeah, I mean, still, you're kind of holding on by a string here, and at least it does give you more opportunities, but every single time you can see, like, Razorc is getting poked up before this fight starts,
that he has to try and make a miracle run, and you're getting caught in sidelines as well, like, two and a half minutes until Baron.
If you cannot contest at this barring, you don't get to just wave clear, continue standing.
It's 42 minutes in this game. It is 10 past 8.
And we're not even onto the main ban, Jeff. We're just on the warm up act.
It's going to be a long night, but I'm okay. I got a couple of red balls and I'm having a good time.
I'm waiting for this last fight. Elwood is up in 2 minutes 30.
you know what band we come to think it's just more of a frustration from
fanatic is like it's these players are very very good they understand how to
try and get these setups and we've seen in the past on different teams what
they're capable of doing but just watching the people getting caught not
playing around vision not looking for what is like a very clear-cut plan it's
It's just so annoying, I'm like,
I'm not even fully invested here.
I'm just, I'm just into the boys' side
and like for a fanatic natural, it's insane.
That would feel like this way.
Bro, the fanatic fans, you guys,
I tell you, at least once a month,
make sure you have some therapy,
make sure you have a psychologist or something
because we need to look after your mental health.
It's so, topsy turvy, up and down,
and sure other teams in the league,
you can argue the same, but you're filled with hope.
is taken away and it's so funny that your 80 carries name is upset because half
the time I think you are too. So where the fanatic land here they gave us
soul. Baron number three I think is up in a minute. Elders up in a minute 15 that
the buff designed to end games Dagger. That's surely what it's all about.
You shrugged. At this stage I like again in a scenario where fanatic can
get their tools in the right places, they can just one shot Navi. But the problem now
is you've got GA on SamD, you still have that Ultimate on SamD, the Zonja is for Poby.
The opportunities to punish before these luxury items that keep you safe or there has kind
of gone out the window for Fnatic. And we're not getting any sort of deep vision that
enables Fnatic to look for flanks. Or again, like you can see Paris is already
spotting out where Fnatic are because there's no creativity here. It's basically
It has been for a while, it's been all this focus around mid for the past 15 minutes almost.
Side lanes are sparsely seen because we're looking deeply at how the engage sets up towards
the mid lane.
Good auto.
Poby's hit.
Half HP.
The crowd likes it up.
Just doing some good equaliser on Poby as well.
He's ready to go golden.
He's getting poked up.
Remember, he flushes and then Paris uses the quickness.
Poby didn't press his two button instead.
He burned a crucial summoner.
Well, Fnatic may have just found their light at the end of the tunnel.
He knows they lose over to George Dragon, but that's the TP coming through for Poby.
Nami wants to take the fight, but Lothman is on the flank, he hasn't been spotted.
It's like a Scorsese, Scorsese's film that I feel in 7K, 6K, all the imbeciles out in the pit.
They still know, it goes down to Fnatic, it comes in again!
Lothman gets a big pick, but Eldon's in Fnatic's way, and up says to Full HP.
Navi of Sandy setting it for the plate, with his G.A. and ricochets, he goes in, waits, Navi, despite losing the elbow,
take him out of the G.A., sink him into the ground, and find the game winning five.
Lost both, tried, but the funnel wasn't there.
The ult from the heroes we used beforehand, so it was a swig of a miss, and Navi, despite the game,
And he both goes the opposite way, but these are the ones that take the series.
And Bross has elder against all though it seems important for him.
He equalizes the way Mainter can tank, but the buff on the turret is going to disappear.
One cannonmen you know, one cannon deep buff for the turret.
Everyone gets one extra, given the next is exposed.
And Navi put the series to rest, they have to work for it.
But Navi with the win is what we'll see at the end.
Navi find the win with the late game, the sign on to Tanki, Colby doing too much.
But as you say, it was not an easy battle for them. It took them a long, long while to get there.
I think Scorsese would be proud. But it wouldn't be a masterpiece.
But it still makes a big screen. Reledge, Poby, or Parris?
Who knows, man? I mean, who knows?
Personally, I think Poby had a fantastic series. I think he did. I'm Parris as well.
I'm Parris again. Really good board control when it came towards keeping check on where Roswell was going to be, how he put on the flex in this game.
Pobie as well, good control over the mid lane for a large force to keep him buddy in check like it was a
It was definitely a difference in
Understanding how to keep the enemy team in check and I think a lot of the game from those two
Surprised that upset couldn't carry the fight with the elder. I mean
That's what I'm sure the desk and break down and look at the replays, but for now. I
mean
That was three hours and 20 minutes
That was 3 hours and 20 minutes!
Law with Mainter, totally good.
We've been holding our breath for 45 minutes, but in the end, it's Na'Vi who takes the victory here against Nathik.
Applause for Mainter, please!
Yeah!
A lot of pressure, a lot of tension in this game.
In the end, it's an elder who doesn't win, but it doesn't change anything.
He wins the fight and wins this game.
I want to know, how did he play this game?
It took 45 long minutes.
Holding your breath the whole way, fighting at elder Drake.
You don't even get it, but it doesn't matter in the end.
Tell me through this last moment
How did you make it happen? You lose elder but you win the fight. Yeah, like both teams show pretty good macro
five minutes into five minutes for 20 minutes and
Yeah, this elder fight was like everyone knew it will happen at some point because like both team doing the same play style
So yeah, the moment next and the cash elder was three HP and I could one shot it with my Q and I didn't I'm like, oh my god
No way we lose this game. But yeah, like, Kha'Zir, Xayah, too strong in the lead game, and they even shot everyone, and I was like, little sign going around, so it was cool, yeah.
It was the little Sion who was walking, he thought he was going to take it with his Q, but in the end it didn't work, but in the lead game, we know how effective it can be.
It was not a game that we could have expected from Navi.
They have better aspirations, we know they aim for the top of the LEC.
Why was this BO so difficult for them?
We know your aspirations, we know you want to aim for the top.
Middle of the pack is not enough for Navi.
What made it so hard for you guys today against Fnatic?
I don't know.
I mean we did pretty stupid mistakes.
Like every mid game, yesterday, today, I hope not tomorrow.
It's pretty hard for us. I feel like we have 5 killites and we have 6 killites and we are losing.
So yeah, we need to fix our mid game ASAP and be more confident I guess.
But maybe he lacks a little bit of confidence here. We want to work on the mid game for tomorrow,
but he doesn't know how to explain his performances, but obviously we want to do better tomorrow in their last game.
I want to ask him a question about all the love you gave him, Mainter.
Painter, c'est un ancien joueur du club.
Vous l'avez accueilli comme un frère.
Vous lui avez donné l'accueil qu'il mérite.
Et je veux savoir ce que ça représente pour lui
de recevoir autant d'amour de votre part
et de savoir qu'il compte toujours autant pour le club et pour le Blue Wall.
They welcomed you like a brother.
They were cheering for you the whole way.
What does it mean for you to know that
you marked the history of this club that much and that they're giving you that much love today.
Yeah, it means a lot. Like every time, even when I go to mall and I see some KC fans,
they're smiling, they see me, they speak my name, like I will never forget them,
my feeling when I was in KCB and they were cheering for me. And even now, when I'm in
Na'Vi, they're still with me. So like huge shout out for Blue Wall for everyone. Like KC
I'm crazy, yeah.
Merci à vous tous. Thank you so much, Mainter.
It is completely deserved all the love you got from them.
That's all first. We'll be set off the stage.
We've finished with this interview.
The resistance plate is coming!
With a break for Schifters. See you soon.
I
Red Bull gives you wings.
He has been unopening in top, decimating smash.
In fact, Ambrose might just be dead.
It's much more major than relaxed fighting in the air!
Magnus got away!
Magnus, little man!
Ambrose just says, come here, babe!
Wow!
Ambrose, little man!
I'm going to call Pen.
I'm going to take you.
I'm going to call you.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Ambrose, little man.
I'm going to be honest, I'm going to be honest.
I'm going to be honest.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Ambrose.
Are you okay?
Yes, yes, yes.
I cannot say it was one that was the most to watch yeah
Yeah.
The most obvious question.
Yeah.
I beat the Ascend, I would say.
It wasn't the best level to see, right?
Especially in the LAN.
I think we played really bad both teams.
We agree.
I mean, sometimes it's good to, you know, realize what's happening.
And it's good to have coach to come and listen as well.
things as well. I think you can't look on the reality check that we didn't play that
good, right? We all won, but yeah, we love it. Let's fix the issues.
So let's talk about some of the issues, because from our perspective, Game 1, it felt like
your team got bored at a certain point. It felt like that Fnatic was doing so little
and your team was getting so much for free that they then tried to force some sort
of action and then the bot tower dive happened and it just started falling apart.
It's funny story because we have this tendency to just get aboard and let's do a random fight
We will die we lose bottom to GAMES DG. So yeah, we are trying to
Focus on our DCP and I would say yeah, we are rookies and as you can imagine this like the first like big event with
Many like much crowd actually and that loud crowd. So I think everyone is a bit more excited
It's last rest I would say so yeah, we got aboard. I agree
Just put it more this way, not to go too far.
How do you solve that, though?
Because people are going to get bored.
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes you need to be madder, right?
Like, I was madder today after the game one.
I was like, guys, tell me what you want to pick.
Tell me what I need to give you in order to not throw another game.
Please, just tell me, you know?
And, like, sometimes you need to put a billet phone,
or a conversation, I think it's good.
And then there are young people, right?
There are young players and they will understand, oh.
Something is wrong, you know?
This guy is not madder usually.
exactly like this right now.
So, this is one way, and the other way, of course,
is from streams, and by my like,
talks and communication around the topics, so yeah.
And you found getting mad between game one and game two
helped him not throw a $7,000 penalty again?
Well, he did the work this time,
but I think we want to see this though,
so I thought he did.
I thought he did.
So, I have questions around,
let's talk about the draft.
We talked a little bit about it.
Yeah, let's talk about the draft.
So, yesterday I had big frustrations,
Because it felt like that you'd come in with a plan on the bot side of your draft,
where you'd lock in things like Ezreal Karma, Game 2,
I want to say you locked in Yunara Lulu.
And so in my mind I'm like, okay, they've got a clear game plan,
they want to play more front to back.
And that's very navy, you've been putting Maintor on a lot of tanks this year,
and then your top side goes completely against the plan.
I feel like that your entire top side wants to do something completely different for your bot lane.
So help me understand what's going on.
This is today's draft, but help me what's going on.
Yesterday, I think the second rotation was on me, I think I did wrong, especially on the pick that we should pick on the first game of the R3, we picked Lies, we picked something else there.
And the second rotation, I think the people that I did, it was completely wrong, it was out of the thing that we tried to be like on the first three.
Like, drafts felt okay, but it was not great, right? It just felt playable, but second rotation was really bad.
But today, second rotation was so much better, so I'm happy, you know?
Okay, okay.
Because to me, that Game 3 draft felt like the most Navi draft that I'm used to.
Yeah, but I'm trying to always to... I'm trying to have more play styles, right?
Because I don't want to start to, yeah, Zion, Jinza, Azir and bot lane.
I'm trying to develop us and try to have more tools to actually play,
because more BO3 players as well.
I'm trying to achieve as much as I can, right?
But sometimes we are maybe limiting ourselves with the things that we are doing.
Game 1, for example, Game 2, for example, so yeah, I will still keep playing here to make
expectors.
You've got to experiment a little bit, you've got to try and grow the players into those
new roles.
A key player of the series was Poby.
Finally!
Finally won!
Sounds like something you've been waiting for.
Yes, I told the realtor that you have so much ego lately, someone else needs to
get the MVP.
It was enough, bro.
Ah, that also explains putting him on bad champions instead of position.
That was a good one.
Thank you very much for joining us.
Come on club and shifters. Let's check in with law behind the scenes
I guess law here and I just want to show you a blog of how everything works at an event backstage as you can see
I'm on stage right now
And actually I want to catch up with my favorite referees because you know them, but we don't often talk to them
How are you doing?
Hello, I'm doing great. All right, so you're always behind the players
I feel like you hear more than everyone pretty much involved in the scene
So I want to know who's the loudest teams from all the four teams we have this weekend this weekend the loudest
I think probably KC KC. Yeah, if loudest definitely one of the invited teams that we have it is shifters
So this is how the room looks like say hi everyone
Hello
How do you get ready ahead of games? What is what is your go-to music? Oh
Then you listen to the first step on stage.
Or style.
Depends. I think funk.
Like Brazilian funk.
Nice.
Like to, you know, get hyped up and look to do some plays.
On a scale of 0 to 100, how much do we have to cut
because this would not be broadcastable?
That is a great question.
Actually, I would say 50%.
Especially me, like me and the team sometimes have very weird conversations.
Alright, Jake, what do you do before the show?
Maybe? Oh yeah, I've got to come on.
Before the show, I was just watching Blade to get in the feel of like,
how does Wesley Snipes approach a situation?
Like, how does he fight vampires?
Give me the gift of a grip top sock, a clip-trip, shape-shake-tip top sock,
but just bits of perhaps a slip-shop thug, but perhaps a glass of grip top sock.
I have three, four coffees, lots of caffeine,
and I try and talk to anyone that'll listen.
I usually try to put Jake, and I think it speaks for itself I would say.
Okay, Médic, who are you? What are you doing?
My name is Médic and I am trying to get by.
Hi guys, is it the Heretics reunion?
We don't talk about it.
Bonjour, envoi. Merci, bye.
I'm gonna keep on talking to you while you're eating actually.
I think it's not uncomfortable at all.
What do you expect from the games today?
Stomps.
Stomps? Okay, I see a fan behind you. I've hosted with you a lot of times. You need your fan every time.
Correct.
Okay, how hot is it right now?
Very hot.
Very hot. Okay, I'm gonna let you eat now. Thank you, radius.
Absolute professionals, they're doing an amazing job now. Game one is on. I need to focus on my interviews
So thank you for watching this vlog. I hope you learned a lot of stuff and see you next time. Bye!
Thank you very much, Law. Great to hear from that medic guy.
We're joined by Exa. Thank you so much for joining us, Exa.
How are you feeling here in the arena with the atmosphere?
I mean, it's always good to watch events like live-rides.
And also, it's my best friend, Khalid, playing, so I can't wait to see the games.
It's been a while since we've seen you in the LEC stage.
How have things been going in the EOS?
I mean, last year, we won like 3 tournaments out of 6.
Like in the ERL, I would say it was pretty good.
And this year in Winter Split we played with French there, maybe you heard about it, we
tried it on our stuff, we did decent, maybe a bit under the expectations.
Oh, they're decent?
Yeah, I think we should have done better, but it's life, right?
And now I was taking a break for Spring and I want to see what happens in Summer.
Well, fingers crossed we get to see you again, because I always enjoyed you.
You were DOS as the bot lane duo, that's what we used to see.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I think we were the first win actually, with Lucien and me in Europe,
because everyone was boosted.
I mean, they still are, we've had 0-15 for a while.
Obviously, we're getting ready for KC versus shifters.
A matchup that I think most people will say,
in fact, 99% of people will say, is heavily KC favored.
If you were on shifter's side at XR,
is there anything you'd look at and say,
this is the one thing you can punish?
This is the one thing that perhaps KC have a weakness at?
To punish, I don't think so,
but to play towards your friends,
I would play for Ooster.
I think, because I think this guy is very cracked,
And I think the only lane where they can have an edge may be paying for Nuke as well.
I think he's a very good laner.
Maybe like recently he hasn't performed as good as he wants to, but I think he would
play for mid or top.
I think bot lane.
Kalifton and Boussir are a bit too strong, I would say, but yeah, I would play for either
Rooster or Grimlock.
I don't know the side selection.
I don't think we know yet.
I don't think we know yet.
But yeah, that's what I would do.
But I fully agree with you.
I think especially with Rooster now, there's kind of a brewing meta in the east, the
dark shadow, which is the range top right now.
Oh my.
You watch the LCK and I think a lot of our players do. You see a lot of Barrus, Vayne, Jace and this is kind of what they have in play.
Now you see all the sidelines here. There's some Vayne's brewing some Barrus. Now you're a native carry player.
How would you rate their Vayne's if you've seen them?
I'm really bad on Vayne. I think if you wanted to ask anyone you should ask Jesus because he's like very good on it.
But I think, I would say that if there are Koreans, I think they know how to play Vayne.
I think the only thing I'm excited about is to see my boy, Varus, being played on top and playing disgusting builds that are broken, and also not trying bad.
No, I'm full of widget there, I don't like seeing Varus on top.
Yeah, you're a top laner.
I hate everything ranged, but it's kind of interesting to see how it goes in now.
Because I think in this matchup, especially, Blind Pick top would be so interesting, because usually we see Blind Pick.
No, I don't know.
No, I'm kind of boring, but these guys will probably Blind Pick a lot of Jays, Varus, and I want to see how the method developed in top lane throughout the series, because I think that would be interesting.
Okay, so if someone blind picks a Varus into you and or say it's flex pit
Is there a top way that you can say I will pick this and I could just poop all over this?
I mean if you wipe off your tears, I think the best answer is Yasuo nice nation
It's very against the virus, but there's also a Korean channel. There's something not fair
Go on the virus W is old and you try to all in him. I would love to see that
I'm very excited if we see an affair today. I'm interested in expectations
It would definitely be high. We're going to get into the first series, the first game of the series, just a couple more times.
On the side of shiftness, if they lose this 0-2, they are out of contention for playoffs.
A massive loss for them, SK would also be eliminated, unfortunately.
It is very hard when you lose so many games, obviously, to still be in playoff contention.
But, shifters do have a little bit of hope in their back pocket.
You know, I want to see Rooster on the other side.
It's a legal move.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's been active on the also super cringe champion that I had.
Of course, I mean, any range top.
Yeah, but they managed to get leads on Rooster.
We've seen him 2K ahead, 3K ahead and they still can't win with it.
So, there has to be a monumental shift for them.
We'll see if they can do it as we get ready for KC vs. Schifters.
I hope we still have some energy, because as I said earlier, we're going to go back to the main stage.
Let's move forward.
Let's take a little bit of Europe in our spots. Let's have some fun here at the Arena.
We're at home, we're not at home!
Can we have a kick, put the stadium a little bit in the dark and get out of the flashes?
All of us, all of us, all of us!
That way, we're going to show a little bit of what we're capable of.
Your atmosphere here, get out of your flashes.
Take the time, take the time.
Europe is at our pace right now for this broken LEC Retrieve.
I see even more light, I want us to feel it.
Get out of your flashes!
Wow, wow, Kamel, if you see that from my position,
it's incredible.
Still left, you're shy, left, lack of light.
We're going to try to balance all of that.
In addition, we have 360 on this new device.
There are people even behind the crowd, behind the stage.
It's beautiful as an atmosphere.
Thank you very much.
Come on, move, move the lights!
Because Europe is in France now!
Look! But we're going crazy, I'm begging you!
Carme! Carme!
Carme! Carme! Carme! Carme!
That's what I wanted to put a little bit of energy into because we left for the second meeting of this second day.
They are in a delicate situation.
We must now win.
Make people brave.
Resilience.
But be careful, it's when you have nothing left to become more dangerous.
All of that, accompanied by their coach, striker, and Mengou.
Shifter!
On the other side, even if it's not perfect yet, they were impressive,
individually and collectively,
As a collective,
macro and micro level,
we are still lacking
all the ability to clutch,
all the determination,
all the determination
that will be given by the public
the storming
GOAL!
The war is a pure,
explosive,

two teams, two different spaces, but it's played here, now, in the arena of the
The energy that comes when KC enter the arena, enter the stage is just surreal.
It is hard to think that this is an arena with only 3,000 people or not even a full...
I mean it looks like it's a full capacity down there but...
The list took to the stage and I took the headset off my right ear
And I'm pretty sure I've gone deaf now with the sound of this program. It is absurd
To see the process and they had this massive banner that you guys the English broadcast might have seen it's down now
It looks like something out of attack on Titans that they made for the KC team. On the opposite side though
I did love the grin from Trimby. He took to the stage
There was a lot of booze and Trimby just shook his head and said I knew it was coming
Well, let's see what we can do here anyway because for shifters. This is such an important series
Yeah, everything rides on this a zero two and shifters are out playoffs done. Yeah, they don't get a second chance
With them SK will go SK are sitting in Berlin
hoping
That shifters could at least get a game
Again 2-0 from KC, shifters and SK will be out, they will join heretics and then we will only have 7 teams left remaining. Out of the 6 needed for playoffs.
KC? I mean under Peter Tauferdager, their series have been good, even yesterday versus Navi. A lot of questions were like, well Navi had better early games but KC kind of hands them.
hands here, they still did it in really really good form. And if that was one of
their weaker days I'd hate to see what they can do against shifters here today.
Yeah it definitely feels like a lot of the shifters, they see still in contention and
talked about it their strongest team in the LEC right now. And for them in front
of a crowd like this it is a very very difficult time. Yeah. But for shifters as
you said there is no second chance. You have to make it happen here. You
You know the case, you want to try and play for strong lanes.
They love the Ash Serafine.
They want to try and guess lanes that they can organize
skirmishes for yike.
And how do you try and draft against that as shifters?
Well, that's a good old question,
because as we go and pick and ban,
they've got to find some kind of answers here today.
As for shifters, they've also got Nabi again tomorrow.
Either way, it is not looking great for them,
and they're going to start picking up wings on the board.
They have one individual game win there, 0 and 5.
bottom of the standings, KC find a win today.
They're still up with vitality, they're in the top.
It's got a kickback.
That's a similar story that we see so often
for Schifters, they are fantastic
up until that 25-minute mark.
And then there's the mid-lane mid-game pain
and it all goes away, where they get caught somewhere
around that mid-lane, in the mid-game
and it all starts to go pear shaped.
So, Schifters, can they try and weather the storm
in the early stages and get to a win,
Mark and Casey see themselves pressed into another undefeated streak.
Great, but he's trying to listen to what he's said.
I think they're trying to like zone out the noise.
I don't know if those noise canceling headphones are good enough to hear it all over.
Because for me right now, I'm still getting deafened.
It's cool.
Like, as I see heretics take their seat to watch the show, I'm just in awe.
I'm in Shokinor, and I'm looking forward to the rest of today, to tomorrow as well.
It's like roadshows in the LEC, so I'm going to pick that Orianna, gets that through to KC.
Okay, about that.
Yeah, Orianna incredibly strong, they're so well with basically everything that comes through for the jungle.
The TASIC teamfighter does lack a little bit of science, so I have to see what shit does have.
But the plan here, with the Pantheon gone, it means that the ability to attack sidelines
a little bit hurts, maybe they want to opt in towards taking away the Nocturne early, but
as you say Ezreal or Karma, kind of uncontested now as that frontline trial.
I was going to say because if they don't get Paddock as Ezreal, which has been I
think quality wise his best champion, that would be a major mistake.
So they get the 2-2, but as you said the cost could be great as KC, they get
and I'll turn here. The question is up in the sky, is Kaitlin Bard instead,
Bruce here? Bard? Oh, they love it. Do they know how good it is?
If they could get the control of the knees, this could be a very good quality for KC.
Azir going to be the answer on the opposite side, Orianna strong into that match-up.
And the Kaitlin won't fully get pushed, I believe, into this edge of climbing in the early stages.
But Kano, of course, at times, they're going to have to move that down.
They still have strong lanes that they can't try to play around.
And as you said, we've seen how Pooja and Bragg can do.
It's devastating coming over from the minute.
I do like on the other side that for shifters at least, we're talking comfort.
They've got a bit of it themselves.
We already mentioned Padak on the edge a little bit.
Nuke is here, here, like Fred and Butterman.
This is nice to see in their first game as we go to the next fans.
An option. We talked about first thing taken off the board by shifters.
Yeah, an option for Orianna Coppola.
Incredibly strong.
So there's gonna be a race, I still think Nika's option though, like Ori's in down, still very very strong.
Ori Rukong still a very good combo, like you have a lot of these bruisers that can still fit into this wheelhouse.
Even if you really want to, something like the body as well can be that's engaged to the Schwann's.
It's just a case of how to KC you want to try and orientate yourself.
And still, I'm wondering what Kana wants to take in towards this topside.
Well that's the thing, you see him go more towards these kind of carry top enders at the moment as well.
And I wouldn't be surprised to see him try to continue up on us.
Things like the Ambassadors are available. We're worried about jungle parrys.
Worried is the wrong word, but if Sion gets sacked in a way,
and maybe some of those cruisers will be looked at again, as you said.
Jace, gone too. Sion?
Well gone as well, would say to me that they do want some of it, because Sion's a little tight.
For Rooster, like, once they play parries, we've seen it before.
So this is where you kind of end up in this awkward standoff of,
Okay, who's gonna fight first because the virus the cheese have probably been the two go-tos they know so kind of simple up there in those
They're carry top laners
And it kind of to me feels like a standoff in the top lane after who wants to take the pick first
I'm best of though still affects more than likely going top
But if it does I mean a renec and if the KC would be the perfect counter as you said though
Flexibility might mean that you just get a neutralized instead of picking exactly if you take the renec and then pain opens up on the top side
if you try to put a little bit more range make things a bit more uncomfortable.
So what is the plan here on KC side?
We basically have to read this, not know what you're going into.
Now if it was a different team I'd say once upon a time there would be a Viper.
That's a flex but obviously we're past that. Viper, you like a bit of a meme in the past.
It was his worst champion I think this year has been better as we're going to hold
I feel like this could be the angle to be honest you don't think it's too dangerous
with that flex
it's only too dangerous
even man i still think you could play an elv plus
you have to take it to nara instead
so now
this is where i think rooster could
and the thing you hate as nara
he's playing into a lot of these more range
or
champions that outrange you in that top lane
so could be someone like a cannon
i don't know in these lines
what if he did the vane that guy
what if he did the vane
Give us something fun Rooster. What's it gonna be? Oh, a Cali top.
Not a bad one. I mean definitely something that you can look to punish in the lady phase.
You've got good time to set up for the ambassador and you've got self-sufficient solar
carries in your mid and 80 car roll.
So for shifters it is, it's a funky draft but one that I can see working where it's for KC.
Easy of execution, feels a little bit easier.
Point and kick with the ball,
follow up with the Orianna,
you've got good left down,
good range to go with from the Cate then.
I think KC is a bit more stock standard,
but I kind of like what Schifters are cooking.
Yeah, they've got some angles
and they've got mobility against the Orianna engage,
the ball delivery that's going to be easy as you step the KC.
So, Schifters, can they get through this strong early game
that I feel like a few of our teams
have as an identity. Now we're being one of them. We just talked about shifters in his
due or die. If they do not pick at least a game up, they're done. Even if they pick a
game up and lose the series, it is only a matter of time I feel. Eretics are in the grave.
There's three more being built, being dug. And shifters here today, it could be KC
who take up the spade.
LEC is just in all right now.
Because the crowd is deafening
and you're on the English broadcast.
You should really come out to one of these road shows.
I'm just, as an Australian who didn't come to Europe
before coming to, you know, about four years ago,
I've not seen passion like this.
I've seen it all in a very fun time.
French mini-gorge places.
I mean, Spanish crowd the same, French fans always delivered.
Shout out to Spain.
I mean, we're down since four of those years ago.
W France, W Spain.
Yeah, in case you have to see if they can do what this crowd hopes
and take ship to down the bank, maybe take them out all together.
Already, Panook, setting up for any, wants to see if he can get some hope.
Dreaming?
I'll be fine, he's good.
Electric comes through, Kalez wants to step up and order.
He gets put up instead.
Muzer just sits up for those autos, it's going to get another one on Trimby at half HP.
A good start here for Casey Bottom Lane as the Piltover Peacemaker narrowly avoided by the shifters to me too.
So this is what we're talking about, right? In the early stages it's very hard to get push against an edge in the car, especially when you play that top rope.
And you use the initial Piltover Peacemaker to poke on the Trimby, it doesn't mean there was like, this starts to go on.
That's where as the Piltover Peacemaker gets a couple more points in it, you can start to answer back.
So kind of look at level 4 and level 5 for that push.
I think that's where Casey would be trying to use
their vanishes here and in the mid-push
and this bottom lane to set up here.
Shout out to our shifters, Pada.
I can shift in Mystic Shot hits as well
and jump back on Pada after the put-down
of the base man, who's here against the electric group,
but Mystic Shot and that alien Pada going aggressive.
Pada gives the barrier though, still.
The list held onto that trigger finger.
So the advantage is there for Pada
when it comes towards the effective HP bar
As long as he can hit that barrier, but it's already hyper aggression in the bottom side, everyone thought he toe-to-toe for that beat.
That 2v2 is spicy as hell. Trimby gets a good poke off as well as Wade gets pushed in.
However, Casey, do you have a ward here?
The peacemaker in the paddock stops the back.
That's huge from Cliso. What you usually do here is reset to get your early tier,
and the hopes of then you can get back to lane before the Caitlyn can push this way and out.
But now with that post-over peacemaker interrupting will be a little late to the party here
So Clis should be able to match the recess on this push. Gonna try and stop Trimby from
Catching this wave as Lucio ends up going in post
You end up with a long story and then with that small advantage on the AD damage
You can actually push out these waves. It's like going into river looking for the scottl contest Piccata level four as well
Killing has been used in the Bucata season there.
This crowd is going to kick off.
Maybe with an Orianna who comes first.
Yeah, he's going to walk in the river.
Bucata kites around at half HP.
Scuttle still in question here.
Smite is available for Yike, but not for Bucata.
Down it goes.
Into the brush.
Yeah, he's already backed away.
He had no manner.
Vaultbreaker out from Yike.
Bottom Scuttle might just be taken by Bucata in response.
He'll catch the wave under any tower.
Just by him teleporting back in.
So can you see?
We've got the squadron crab, we'll be able to back away.
We've kinda got to be a little late, as you say, moving down towards the bottom side.
But still, 10th game play already from the get-go.
It feels like it's stemmed off that bottom lane, but I'm not surprised.
It does feel like junglers, they're the playmakers and their team as they are in most games,
but this time especially when it gets to level 6, it should become factor lane.
Push out, come through from pattern.
get some good trades, the arcane shifts in and dodges both abilities. I mean I'm pretty
impressed with Panak, the gumption on this guy, arcane shifting in front of a
Caitlyn Bard and then dodging everything, that's the mojo. It's exactly what you need, like you
have to beg, rest up in the sleigh if you want to try and contest, find your most
hit, those arcane shots and mystic shots, arcane shifts and mystic shots
So either way, it's just keeping things even and again, this has kind of been shifter's
safe point.
They end up playing well in the early stages, like Bukata's going to have to get some good
ganks off and traditionally they've been having it, like at least for a little last two series,
had a bit of pep through Stepping Game 1, and coming out with these early goal leads.
But it is kind of a 20 to 25 minute mark where things start to fall apart a little
bit for the people getting caught out.
So let's see against a special team like KC that has really accelerated the game past that 20-minute mark, it's going to be a big test.
It's like getting in and stealing away some stuff.
It's a camp up as well.
And Ricardo will go back towards his crotch.
A couple of camps here for Jaik on the top side to clean out as well.
Roosa walking back to lane.
Note that he did take Ignite into this matchup so he has to wait a little bit for the TP.
Kana gets the TP, get the push in, maybe use that time to move as he gets closer to the level 6.
But for now, he's not hard pushing away, just last hitting, and he's doing a bit of time here to play around the potential of maybe a jungle game, maybe moving afterwards.
Rooster level 6 is a problem.
If Akana going to half HP, not even lower, flashes away, no!
Kana's dead!
He got ignited and solid killed by Rooster!
No, Kana comes in clutch!
Huge play by Rooster!
That's the reason.
Hits level 6 off the wave as he comes back, and immediately goes for the all-in.
Kana didn't stand a chance.
Akana was half the way to Megana, and I thought,
he'll build up, he'll pace, but Rooster just pressed the button and he didn't flash in.
He just told him.
And that's what I was about to say, level 6 for Akali in these matchups is the big point to look out for.
Akali just wasn't ready for it.
Rooster knew exactly what he needed to do with that Hextech alternator,
just free to give him that extra damage he needed.
He shipped us on something else bot as well, Yaks spotted out.
Rukata with no ulti.
Yaks is a little bit closer, if he gets this gun, he will be 6.
He will be six with Kana gonna be contested. Yeah, he was shockwave available
magical journey in case he get tripping up against the wall and actually killed him
Kana never had no chance to pick up us away from the shockwave
Yeah, who takes a summer out of the jungle and Casey snap with Boussio's part
Kana, Kana is a flush available
Rooster will take it because he had the execution
Shuriken flip is the next thing you look for as Kana goes into mega now
He's ready to run up to the wave. Now when you'll get the help advantage
but Kana is getting scowled by some cocky doodly top laner.
Rooster not quite able to get the kill there.
They're gonna push him to chest up and not quite able to make the play happen,
but still pressure from Rooster.
But it's Casey who are winning on the bottom side.
Confidence as they will use that far portal to reposition their bot lane in
and immediately dies on the Trimby.
And Bajook's just left kind of with his hands in the air going,
what do you want me to do here?
Like a great portal from Buccio.
Oh, nice.
You guys can knee-jumps on.
And Yehuu, just as a fight space, knows that Bacata, without level 6, is not really a threat,
doesn't really have the damage that he wants, so they're fine to make that play work.
He didn't want to commit in, holds on to his ulti, Yehuu also gets a flash out of Bacata
when he presses R on this Orianna, so massive win for KZH, he's head on the bottom
side.
In the meanwhile though, 900 gold lead for Rooster in top.
We've talked about Rooster's laning, we've talked it to death, but I will say again,
Once more, he does feel like he's the shining light
to come out of this shift as comp, rather team.
Even if they end up going 0-6 today,
I think a lot of people will look towards summer
and be like, yo, Rooster could be like,
he's like a top three, top four top laner in a league
that is stacked with good top laners.
It's also a easier champion for him
to try and make good plays out.
Like, when you look at things like the chase,
it can be a little bit more team reliant,
a little bit more, I'm hoping you find that one
good accelerator in a chocolate.
Akali could kind of put herself in the positions to be a bit more of a card carry.
So for shifters, a major of B all in on this Akali in the topside basket.
Now, obviously a little early to say, we're 8 minutes into the game.
There's not really a big goal lead breaking either way.
It's kind of the jungle versus top.
But at least KC have shown they have decent control over the bottomside at the moment.
The bottomside with the pickaxe double long, so good damage from the list.
I mean, the lane was going pretty well.
Full shifters is making our use on root serves.
We go back to top lane.
20 CS is now the league with the way pushing in as Yike is getting topside
grubs which I mean is a nice win for KZ considering that they have no pressure
off in and a lot of kill threat Yike might just be able to take one or two and
then back away versus stepping to contest. I think it's the fact again you
have so much pressure mid. This was the reason why we don't traditionally see
Zia picked into Orianna. Orianna arranges them, she tends to
bully him in, push the waves and punish him under towering. And Yike has been
putting so much presence in for the mid lane. There hasn't been many options for
Group Control to really punish especially when you're on the ambassador. So yeah, who's
going to get Group Control over mid which is then leading into
sort of card control leading into this Rift-Turk, out of control, a point for
control even. Like there is a lot of kind of like playing by the numbers here for KC.
Come on Sirle again. Come on Sirle again for KC that already netted a dragon.
Yeah, who was a side note? Shockwave before pulled out of flash, that flash for Bricada almost up and available.
And see how he uses his public execution because so far, he's been quiet like, quiet lanes, quite dangerous.
You can step that up and send in an Orianna to the waiting arms.
Here's Bricada, ulti, it connects. I wanted to see it, but yeah, with the shot away, the counterplay!
He waited and the delivery was self-involved.
But yeah, who's four?
I was convinced that that was going to be a death for the Oriana.
That after level six from Rupada, he finally would find the play, but it's KC coming alive.
With a trap on Trembi's face, 90 caliber now, Trembi close to dying.
This pattern has to run back as well.
Ace in the hole, not going to use by Calis, I can shift forward as pattern.
With a shield, steps into Calis.
Again feeling confident, but Calis de Buccio sends Trembi back.
Burn his heel. Continue looking for plays down here as well.
Still wants more. Puzio taking very low.
And he gets it.
Product steps forward. Heal comes out close now to 1v2, 90 caliber there.
He gets rooted up. H in the hole. Not going to be burned.
He flushes it instead. Don't just cut!
Now stuck in 1v1. Puzio in 3v2. Close the dive.
It's a one shot for support.
Puzio didn't flush available. He's going to step back here a little bit.
but in the bush he cannot risk it as Calista and Paddock cancel each other out.
This bot lane is so intense between these two.
Barely!
Yelis is able to get one back, but Paddock and Trimby were the ones that were definitely on the full foot there.
Early game of Nabi and Fnatic was a bit of a snoozefest act up.
Early game of Casey and Shifters.
I feel like I'm gonna wet my trousers, like this is Six Kills' jaw.
The explosive power in this simple game one is crazy casey up 2000 gold
We don't say we didn't get dropped by the man, but you see here truck goes over me
Trimby ends up taking a ton of damage, but he'll go through early to make sure they can keep Trimby top
That's then steps forward
But the problem is that in these fights as you start to get your passive
top top of Paduk. Your auto attacks are so intense that at least can't really match that.
You want to abuse the range and slow poke here, but Paduk sees his moment.
Ends up flashing forward. Doesn't quite get the kill on Boothie, but we're going for the invade instead.
If you get an Abercota, catch the Strimby once again, they target against the wall.
It's going to cause me to find a trap under his foot. Public execution comes in, yes.
But how's Berkana going to get out?
A magical journey used, close by is a space. Getting Abercota, use the enemy uses,
he uses facing the whole extra damage.
Yikes there, double kill, he's by and made no longer
as KC are getting this place faster and faster.
They heard it from Yikes himself on the desk yesterday.
He's non-mentionable for his younger and very much
in a talking point at this stage.
They become so strong that you can see it on the line.
He invades, our perfects, he engages, our beautiful.
And the setup for KC is running away with this game.
And Bucata, he fights like that, he's got perfect hydrodacty, he's squishy.
As Trimby was the one to get caught first.
Yeah, I mean, what do you do here as Trimby?
Unless you can flash that immediately, but the traps are there,
and Bucata tries to make this work,
manages to get away from the trap before they can proc,
and step away, but the follow-up is there,
Yike wings a flash, and he gets the kill to do it.
Double kill, four kills in total, Yike is huge.
2.3k gold lead and
We started this game in this series focusing heavily on top because rooster solo killed carna
That now doesn't matter because the rest of the map is melting
It's like at the end of Wizard of Oz when the bucket of water goes on the witch like bro. That is rough
They live for a dive dagger. What do they do?
Going in
That is stuck out!
The boys come to rescue his car and will dodge a true shot for Raj!
Yike troops!
He's Superman in this game!
There was fire and bedlub in the mid lane and he's there to save Yike!
Yike, tempo eight, dodged!
There's more men coming!
Yike, ready to set up.
Yeah, again, he's got a full break on run to six and to six.
Up and available in five, ten seconds.
But Kasey back away, they've done enough damage.
I've not been one in this top lane.
I feel for Schifter as it feels like Jaik is everywhere.
They make plays, he stops them.
They take a step back, he steps on their toes.
Schifter needs to find some way to get a foothold.
But Jaik is just taking, they're feeding it from underneath them.
There's a 4k goal there to 14 minutes.
It's crazy.
This is becoming a stomp.
I mean, again, yeah, I feel for Rooster because
there's nothing he can do when he tries to go for the solo kill, but the whole map is unlocked.
And we're having this huge discussion right now, like,
you have Vitality on top of the standings, but in terms of quality, RKC the best.
Plays like this, games like this, you're starting to think, Goddamn!
Maybe they are.
It's with their home crowd advantage.
We now have to look, are they just going to take the Herald and everything as well?
everything as well what can shifters do to stop the flow of this game. It has to
be trying to just slow the pace down, find moments where they can work,
especially around like trying to find picks onto Orianna, she opens up into
sidelines, but it's very difficult. Like yeah, who's flashed back up off the
initial play makes it difficult then for Bucata and Nuke to find those plays
that they would like to. And Jyke has just been doing a stellar job of
getting control and even look at the vision that's from place down
what Busey was they clear through these things right?
Ward up towards Krug's on the upside it's actually kind of
maybe some of the institutions have the fate and Picard came in wanting the public
he gets flushed away by Kana in the struggle of this TP
this is going bad for Shepard
Ruzekovic binding blind stops the TP he wanted to escape but Busey goes bad
everything connects in case they can't do a damn thing to stop their own self
And then tracks it, Paddock comes in, there's a battle ahead.
Oh, look at that, the class, the play, Paddock trying to run away.
Yank will jump against the wall, both break her in, Paddock's alive.
But now they're on the TV, KC, they're still going to play in here, man.
The midterre drops down, stepping on the trap,
it's Kalees gets you going to the TV, and it charges.
They can't do a damn thing wrong, Doug Doug.
It looks like it was going wrong.
but they charge and the heroin still goes through.
They manage to escape.
Yike defends the maids, Kanna's getting top.
What is happening?
This game has just gone out of control.
And even on this one, it's not a cause or finding,
it's a casual one for Buccio.
As he manages to lock down Rooster
so he can't teleport away,
immediately runs maids to help protect his jungler.
As Yike uses the taxi to get on house,
set up nerdy for a kill of a duck this one looks a little dicey but it's the
charge of the tower like what is going on I don't know but it is Petlong and I
cannot believe afterwards because hell we got the charge on me then charges
enough and Schifters couldn't even get a kill back we come back to live in
here who is soloing Ponfaro. Oh Calista I don't know if you win this one as much as you think.
kind of calibre net stepping on a trap as well there's a head shot
ace in the hole, flash season and since Jyke is there we're going
but like it's up a trip he doesn't, Bouchet comes in he wants to kill himself
he wants to be part of the team and boy sure is he
Bucarder finds him in front of the board running out but Kallis damages too much to stay in
6.7k gold lead. This one it is dammit. Shift has had no shock in this game one.
Hey bud, Shift has a press of time to see how many teleports are on the enemy team.
Cause it feels like KC, POPPOP, and of nowhere. Every time they are all over the map
and you see it here, it's just roam after roam. Like coming out from after doing his ruptures
immediately makes the play. You've got Kana, who's collapsing from the top side
after he doesn't have to crash out of the way and Pusio is in the perfect spot to auto attack
product down and get the kill. And Riccardo is in a bad spot himself facing the set,
Shockwave instead, kill! That guy is squishy as a slime. At 18 and a half minutes the individual
The jungle and the mid laner are a team-wide lead for any other organization.
KC are absolutely destroying shifters.
You know our fastest PO3 is 46 minutes and 42 seconds and 18 and a half minutes.
We are crossing an 8,000 goal lead and the end of game one.
These are very different series today and I do feel like KC have no equal at their own roadshow
own roadshow and yes it is easy to glaze them when you have this massive crowd behind
us cheering them up for every single play every single moment but genuinely this could
be the best version of KC we've seen in a while this could be the first stand 2025
version that looked unstoppable undefeated I think they might stay as game one is
not over yet but I haven't seen a mistake yet.
I mean, or if I got the desk yesterday, that's going to what it feels like is to step up for 2026.
It's just how consistent and how quickly they make decisions.
There is no arguments. Everyone seems on the same page.
It's, uh, I will follow you to the ends.
And those ends are working right now for KC.
The last hour of terror is about to fall.
And shifters are just watching as the foundation's rumble.
Rister can't do anything. He's the most fed member of Shifters, you know, I'm in the lead, but with the avatar falling 9000 into the lead itself, that lines up in 5 seconds.
Not the fastest baron here for KC, but it's easy to see how another couple of kills will lead to it.
At Shifters right now, I'm just thinking, how do we fight next game? What do we try off? What do we do next? Because...
It's alright, there's 9000 gold there, it just doesn't feel like this is the KC style at the moment.
But this is the thing, this is why Buzio's part is so big.
Like, that man was robbing me everywhere in the early stage, working so consistently.
But like, this mid-jungle, I'm sorry, jungle support for KC has just been so clean this game.
And it's one of the things I love about watching KC is just how well this link-up works.
Like whether it's a Lutuzin's air or now it's a Bart on the vise.
They're consistently getting vision.
They control the game. They're always shot at in recovery.
It just, it feels so hard to get through the KC defences.
Well, Schifter's going to have to try.
Rooster gets rid of the control ward that is around Baron.
KC choking out vision.
Mid, constant push. Yeah, who moving up to top?
Schifter's trying to use Rooster to get that aggression to maybe help find a pick.
The command attack is scouting out these brushes, Jyke is hovering with the GA.
That's a three item buy at 21 minutes.
Like that is absurd.
It's silly. Tepid fight.
He's against Walter Cosmic Binding, Vulpraker, Flash from Trimby, it's nice.
Picard is there hovering in front of the ball, but he is three levels behind Jyke.
Three levels.
And now it's a flashless karma for a mountain soul fight in a minute and a half.
This game has not let up for a second. It feels like you've blinked and Casey is suddenly in this position.
Every little just to check for Barron, but the true shot barrage was going to be needed for this next fight.
I mean, he'll get it back up. It's just everything for Trimby.
No flash, no hope. Trimby's dead again.
And to play karma in this game just seems like a monster task.
And this was what Schifters gambled with.
They left open the Orianna thinking Ezra and Karma will get control.
And it's firmly slipped from their grasp.
Casey on the bar and they'll be able to take this.
I still get to drag it.
Still keep the presence ever on the map.
They're moving to the bottom lane to try and get a tier one terror in response.
I don't think they can get through karma.
You can see he looks pissed and this is like one of those frustrating games where you know where it went wrong
But how do you stop it? What do you learn from it?
Kind of goes into mega push goes hovering again tend to play up and available
There are things going down, but Calista's gonna get me pushed with that arm buff and
The siege begins. I think we're going to 10k real soon back up
And as you said, I think we're going to soul at 15 seconds. There's no stopping up from shift
Let them eat dirt, feeling very correct right now.
The KC log line that we gave him coming into the ladies,
just taking all the dirt and bits and absurd shifters.
Desperate, fishy for a pick, hoping someone over extends.
But there's a lot of members of KC here.
Yeah, who's what else?
Are they in the chart?
Trimby in the way, getting out.
Shockwave and all.
Trimby dead, 0-1-5.
And the crowd is doing for the shot.
Got to drink his face, but it's just getting away, being a boy.
He didn't have a moment to react to their pace.
When does it end?
This is, this is, this is diminishing.
This is, yes, I would not try to anyone under 15 years old.
Bolt breaker over the wall, yanked, threatening, tempered fate.
Gets wide, Gets waffled, can't a corner, and he's against a wall!
In goes Niko with a full matchup, finally!
Finally the shippers are yet wide, as Bursha is hovering in the back, but is it too late?
Bursha jumps in, slices through, yeah, who's now here?
As Pada tries a fast park, and Bursha does find one, he gets out!
Now Yike for the follow-up, a vault breaker, in the shippers, he missed a bit, it doesn't matter either!
Gary keeps stepping forward, and Dagnatree died, but still it's an even trade,
despite the goddamn play from Nuke.
That was a huge play from Nuke.
But the answer is yes, it's too late.
The Mountain Dragon doing work to keep them alive
because this should have been their moment.
This should have been the miracle
that shifters were looking for.
Nuke makes the massive shuffle onto almost everyone
from KC and still KC fight back.
Down the pot lane, but with their mid jungle gold lead the wallets are just too big
Like recently so much in that buddy got Calist
And he really is a saving grace in this game, but gold went up KC broke almost inhibitor turret as well
All right, if you does that two three more times
maybe
but
That was a monster play and it was an even trade
The case need to continue
There is no letting up. There's six seconds left in this rainbow bar of power play
But I don't know if shifters haven't in them to do that once more
and I think now
case here any wise little tricks
And shifters will just have to give up the terror
Yeah, you'll just like that down 11,000 gold
I mean, Shadow of the New York East is here.
He does feel like his best champion.
If we saw that maybe five or ten minutes ago before Colton
hit this out of hand, it could have been a very different story.
I think even if Soul wasn't there,
the extra resistances, that shield that you guessed,
that could have been enough.
Maybe you don't realize quick enough, the light goes down,
especially with all the extra resistances he has off that GA.
It was just not quite enough.
I mean, it's not TVG, I can't do GM.
I know.
He's died.
It's a bit sad, but it just shows you again how far ahead they are.
Well, elder in three minutes.
Powering in two.
You still think Casey had these in spades, but you never know.
You never know.
That was the first moment we saw really shit just come alive
outside of the soil line of Roosa.
KC are looking for victims as Yuki's going to back up at the top before anyone can catch him out.
All the way back he goes.
Yakuwain find him. KC get rid of vision.
And the assault will continue until we get to those neutrals that have helped end the game.
KC, establishing vision in the topside.
Keeping shifters in their base.
They know they have a very good siege with this Katelyn.
So there is absolutely no rush just poke prods chip away at any of these structures
And yeah, you can just wait until barn, but a good shockwave here. We're rabbit on sale and that's 10 stack dark seal. Yeah
You do not get to survive that a shift you know, I want to quickly mention that that
Talking about surviving. I mean yikes obviously the cornerstone of this game 5.8k gold league is the difference. Yeah
Now we've talked a little bit, I think it was Jyken versus, it might have been you and I.
He had like a 7k gold lead in a game and we were like oh it's like the top 10 on top 5 in LEC history.
As in European history, it's a gold lead between players, Jung was especially.
I think Jyken also set his lead on top of that. It was a Kazakh scam from memory.
Yeah, I mean but Jyken kind of just does set records.
He does.
Like you look at, he's the player with the most consecutive titles in a row in LEC history.
Like he has set the record as he set for the longest gold are the side that I just go difference between junglers like the man is an absolute
Monster and really does feel like he's found his home now on Casey like it
There was question marks about it on G2, but it feels like every one of them
It's shut down
Oh, flashed it and it's in for a Sakao react
He's dead and a two man down the fight and he adds doubts about Casey that's gone again
Because you weren't fighting the same way for the magical journey and a Buccio delivery
You can't stop get out of dodge
Casey on the odds floor and our doubts have gone if they even were any
Buccio's bad
America knows it Europe knows that the whole damn world knows it
It's as clean as yike is now on his vibe the shippers on their last leg
Here's the defense, kind of bunches in, you go, it's golden, don't break from the
mech now, but on a trap, he'll stand, trimming against head shotters,
Pada gets sent back, Killings will fire with the range, and Casey put on a
display worthy of the entire France.
It's their arena, this is their game.
And honestly, this feels like there were all the shippers who's just living in it.
That was demolishing.
I'd be tossing over the 80 to break it down.
Yeah.
That was pretty on-sided, I'm gonna be honest.
That little play from Nukes to make perhaps a few KC fans sweat,
but we went from a 10K goal lead to an 8K goal lead at that point.
Sure, the jumper has cut the lead to 42.
It wasn't too hard for KC to close it out, then.
I mean honestly I'm really surprised about this game. I'm actually shocked like the fact
That it took Casey 29 minutes to finish this game out
It's really surprising to me because it in the goal lead. I mean I expected even more domination
I'm joking. I think it was a crazy clean game by them like just pure domination
quite the whiplash from our first series of the day one could say as
Casey find themselves on the precipice of going well halfway through their
they're split five and zero based on how they're playing.
They're looking to go on track for the nine and zero and I mean so much of the
conversation has been about vitality, dominating the league, given the schedule
we've seen so much of them play and so many of the KC fans have been
trying to remind us hey our team is still here and it felt like that they
needed to make a statement here in this arena and KC every single game just
continue to make that statement. Yeah it's very impressive, incredibly
in the game, but it's not
really that much. I mean, it's
really impressive what they're
doing for shifters and press K
as well as able to loss here
eliminates them from any player
of contention. I'm not even
going to like the question that
was coming out of my mouth was
like, how did it? How did they
fight back? How do they do
something? How did they get
back into the series? But it
just seems so far fetched at
this moment for shifters to
actually find a way back in.
I mean, it feels like the
only hope is a massive early
to pull together and look for miracles, look for cheese, whatever you can, because if you
play KC on even terms in their own home field, in their ground, they will just demolish you.
I mean I feel like one of the biggest problems that so many teams are having to deal with is that
right now KC feel extremely well-rounded, they have solid drafts, they've got good macro,
but also the hands. And like that brings me very nicely into our Euronix player of the day
from yike and yahoo but they just completely completely our place shifters in the 2v2 so
let's check it out
I'm coming
I'm coming, yeah I'm coming
I'm moving, Bart is moving
my god
why is that killing pass
got her
nice
good job
Yeah, just great stuff from KC. Great call as well as they made the outplay in the middle lane.
What did I keep for breakfast guys? Like what has he been mongering on here? Has he gone? Has he
pre-tied something? Has he decided to pre-t and monger? That is incredible already.
It's got to be some Swedish meatballs bro like his. I see him in Paris.
I see him in Paris. He runs straight to Ikea this morning. You're the star of this show.
He needs to be in comfort and he is definitely in comfort.
It's like, it's like the spinach for Popeye, you know, sometimes you just cut up Popeye's Swedish meat.
Yeah?
I couldn't even say it was!
I wish when I was playing I was popping more Swedish meatballs, because clear that I needed them.
That was clear what it was lacking.
He played really well guys, so we're gonna get off the Swedish meatballs that he's consuming.
They're gonna get on it, I'm gonna stay on it, so just look at his stats.
He's like insane, I think he had a 6.7 gold lead at the game man,
I think that's just I think history talk about it overcast is one of the highest we've ever had in ice like in the jungle matchup department
Which I had another performance earlier this
Versus I think that was the classic game versus Gwen though. I guess that was like a nocturne game where he on chase game
Just came he was like 8k individually over his line of power
The guy is absolutely popping off right now
Obviously facilitating by the fact that all of his lanes are also winning becomes a lot easier to jungle when you have prior
when every lane and of course the board Casey just continue to press the only
person we can really criticize his car I guess because he did get solo killed but
then ultimately it doesn't matter which then runs into the same problem that
this teams playing against Casey face is that it feels like that right now there
is no clear weak point right it feels like that there's no weakness in the
armor that you can try to exploit it feels that wherever things fall short
something else is compensated yeah I mean we had you like on the desk here
yesterday actually and he talked a little bit about their practice how it's going and he said something that I was just so envious of I
Asked him a little bit about the reviews how the streams are going and he says yeah
We're mostly just like nitpicking teamfights, you know checking micro here in there
You know what kind of luxury that is to just review only like the clicks in teamfights
That means everything else is just going so smoothly
I've never been in a team where we just sit there like hey
It could have kicked back a little bit right there in that team fight the fact that they're so dumb in it
Not only on stage but also in practice
I think just tells about the depth of talent in this team.
It really does. And I think the good thing to KC as well is if you exclude the Vitality Week 1 series,
it is being almost a linear curve of difficulty for them in terms of opponents.
Like, we'll get into Week 7 and that's where they have to look at G2, MCoy and GX.
Now GX a little bit lower perhaps than a Navi, but the fact that they have slowly been able to build up across,
They haven't needed to slowly build up, but if there were any foibles any failures in their game plan
They've had enough time before they face the G2's of the world to see if they can fix those failures
And then perhaps go for the nine and ohs nine and oh split. Yeah, I mean right now. That's kind of what I'm keeping my eyes on because
It's an interesting position that Casey are in because is it
Is it just a regular season thing? Right? Because we've seen performances like this before from teams.
In fact, I believe KC did finish first at the end of last regular season as well, if I remember correctly.
I think it's possible, yes.
And playoffs is a different beast. Teams level up. We always look at teams like G2 and Cori.
So the question is, are we getting ahead of ourselves?
Because right now, of course, you have to look at the current picture.
You have to look at the thing that we're presented and right now KC do look like the cleanest one of the strongest even though they did struggle a little bit against Navi yesterday at times in game one.
But ultimately, they're the most well-rounded. So the question is, how do you maintain a performance like this all the way through to playoffs and then how do the rest of the LEC stack up because we know that so many players and teams in our league tend to revel when that type of level comes to the league.
now that we have this team that many are aspiring towards, how does that change the dynamic and how
does things look forward to the rest of the LXA? I mean especially considering there's going to be a
huge patch change coming in a few weeks as well. It's a lot of turbulence ahead of KC so to me it's
just about stabilizing that journey, making sure that you can ride a train to the end station.
Yeah I think there's those two variables, right massive patch change coming out this week
which we're going to see some changes on. KC do get a week off next week so they actually
have nine days before the next road show to build on towards that patch but also
So this regular season has been best of three and that is, to me, it shows a higher level
of consistency than winning a best of one regular season than going into play.
Absolutely.
Right?
They've already tried things in Fearless.
If they just 3-0, they only have one extra game per series on average to close it out.
So they only need to bring out a couple more things.
And we've seen enough varied styles from them.
They haven't just been the dragon team.
I mean, they're...
They've just been the late-game scaling team.
the game. We're still in the
middle of a series based on
what we're seeing so far. It
feels like it's a foregone
conclusion because shifters have
not demonstrated enough. They
will have to pull some magic
out to get an upset win against
Casey and keep their hopes
alive. If they do not win this
game, both SK and shifters are
out of playoffs. We'll be
tossing to a quick break,
but afterwards we'll see you
back with the second game of
Maybe a jungle gank, maybe moving up.
Oh, he's getting through to level 6 is a problem.
Yeah, but Kana going to half HP now, even lower.
Flash to the way, no! Kana's dead!
It's quite ganky, shitless, you can set that up and send him and Orianna to the waiting house.
He's got Kana, ulti, he connects.
I wanted to see it, but yeah, with his middle wing, the cover play!
He waited!
Uh, yeah.
Uh, yeah.
Uh, yeah.
Uh, good job, guys.
Uh, yeah.
Uh, yeah.
Hey, yeah.
What's wrong with me today I think you should have a break
Have a break. Have a KitKat.
I love it, baby, cause I'm the cushion.
I know I don't want to talk, talk, but we talk.
Whoops.
One minute.
Red Bull gives you wings.
In your best man's speech, you said my wife is funnier than me.
That's factually correct.
Okay.
Um, we're in rain now.
It's fine, mate. It's fine. Relax.
I've got this.
Years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years.
Yeah, but it's gonna last for me long.
There we go. Look at that.
What are you so worried about?
Awful.
I
Okay, I'm here with the shifters fans because there are some shifter fans here.
They have this amazing sign that it's actually a French meme.
It says it's only four of us and I love the fact that they're owning up to it because
There were cheers from fans earlier, so I actually want to know, guys, thank you for joining me.
How hard is it knowing that you're massively outnumbered by the blue hawk?
It's crazy hard, but we're kind of used to it right now, and we'll just scream with all that we've got.
And we've done this because we know that we're very less than them, and we'll just give everything.
Hope that they'll hear us even a tiny bit.
Sometimes the numbers doesn't matter is the intensity and we can we could hear you on broadcast yesterday
You want to give a chance maybe and see what happens? Wow
Yeah
The stream like yeah, so everyone could hear us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow
Let's go she's
It's not an easy situation they're in right now, but they're on it up to it.
I mean it's great law, shan't here for not apparently doing the naughty words on that
side.
I saw the word but talent. I know I know that word back though. I know that word
Yes, of course. Thank you so much very nice to answer. Um, I'm gonna tell you all that
To do that
That's what will make them do that is classic but to do that in a Casey arena shout out to those
Those guys like there is only four of them
She doesn't need their support now more than ever because they've got absolutely
absolutely rinsed like that's not me putting all my plates in the dishwasher after two and a half hours
Everything is spotless. That was Casey in game one. It was very clean. It was absolutely spectacular
I think it's what we want to see more of from Casey because again like so much the conversation surrounding
Casey is are they currently the best team in LEC?
And when you put on a performance like that it becomes very difficult to not kind of give them that courtesy to say
Maybe they just don't yeah, I mean especially like putting on a performance like that
I asked production during that game was that one of our strongest jungle performances in terms of gold gap
It was in the top 15, but the funny thing is that number one was yike versus buccata at like 8.5
K or something like that. Oh, so
Rinse repeat here to reuse our productions words. It's like a cat and event
now
Dumstring buccata
That was an exceptional game and it has been a generational performance here today so far.
In game one from Casey, let's see if they can rinse and repeat as we go to the next game.
Dag-Dag and Pick-A-Ban, Ash is the first to go away. Casey didn't reach out.
No surprises there. I mean, Schecter's left the Orianna through in favour of finding this Arch to try and put a stopper in the bottom lane.
bottom lane then. They kind of did. It did go much better. The problem was made in
jungle didn't fuck up well as a result. We'll have to see what the game plan is.
Because I think for Nuke, I have been mostly impressed with... like up until
this point I've been very impressed with Nuke in his 90s. I think when
Shifters was struggling last year he was carried with a shot in life and he
had some good moments when he was in these 1v1 scenarios. This weekend
just hasn't really been different and I think he gets get a new
having him get comfort is important. Oh here it is, I'm talking about it,
oh my god, he's pulling it out, it's a good response. It's a lot of corking armies apparently.
And so Lucian Milio, shifters think we can pull it off.
So I don't think you'll go for this. Okay, at least when he was playing in the URLs.
Naila Senna was a big combo for him and Targanus. So I like the Senna, but no, it is just going to be the Korky, having Korky friendly strong.
But yeah, I mean, we've seen what the Lucian Millio can do already into this Korky.
It's the only win we have on us.
and coming through for some team of Paris.
So now, Padauk and Trenton, you're going to see if they can try and do the same here.
It's a tall order before potentially getting eliminated
from LEC Spring. If they lose this game
it is over for shifters here and now. And for SK
it's a double whammy, double elimination.
Yeah, who on the rise is a big deal and you go on the Anivia
Try and counter it and we have a bit of zone control and a bit of lockdown now editing with that in India
Gladdy who did get the kill on the immediate into the price yesterday. Yeah, which
Was not the best of times for new
They're gonna see if you try a better time in the opposite side
But rise does have control of this matchup in the first few levels
it's level six where you get access to the ultimate that it really looks like
to change the match of its dictators but it's a lot of it's a lot of
question marks for me on shifters just with the way that last game went it's
hard to to fully lock in and be like oh yeah I see them being able to play
through. In what is already a more difficult bottom line but if they don't
find themselves ahead like Lucian we know with Lucian it's like one two
items getting mid control really being able to send it and take that all in
and granted the paddock, a paddock in the early landing phase was sending it on the asterial.
So you're kind of crossing your fingers again, you're hoping as you're kind of alluding to
the tag-goal. I don't know what comes next, I don't know about this jungle role because
Skum's taken away, Jace has taken away. It looks like again for KC they do need some kind of
initiation tool that is going to be an extension to the Nami. I've got to say the shift is
They do need a door button on this comp as well.
Yeah, I mean you're still a little bit like, you have options, like you can still there,
you can go towards each one, you know, if you really want to.
Although traditionally you kind of tend more towards things like the Zins out in these sort of situations.
Especially with Emilio and the Zins out to come through for shifters here.
And I think for KC though, they are going to start eyeing up a bit more of this kind of push comp position
and click the rise or at least with something that can play through these side lanes well.
So I'm wondering if they try and keep the...
I think like if they want to try and get some strong side lane for Akana here
Like you could in the pub, this is the way you could opt in towards the Vayne or something like that
If you really want to do
The virus is banned so that's going to be the last AD carry we've seen up there
Since Chase has also taken away
Nocturne banned as well
What a ship that's thinking that
What's the accommodation going to be?
Do they need a bit more first?
Is that oh my god first Diego in spring
Daked up. I like you know what I like what you as a saying
Go hard or die trying
Yeah, I mean this is a
It's kind of ironic to see this play against you like because this was the pick the Eichel's table for the league
Something that can play heavily around
No, maybe in the middle lane and you can look for a lot of those games
But something else has to get ahead, because it is no good at all without the setup.
And usually you do see it with a strong front line.
So yeah, I think if I'm KC, kind of insta-locking a carrier, something that does well in two tanks,
I think you're kind of firing it, because everyone on shifters kind of points towards needing their tank in front of them to do what they want to do.
So we'll be the thing in walking a war instead. I guess yeah, it's similar value, right?
They also have another a piece all and when they've just walked in an AD jungle I can do well against the Viego
If this is an old left top
There is then only the end of the year with slight magic damage from Milio
That is going to really surpass and get through the Wukong
What do you think? I'm actually curious if I think it will be a war at top
they could also put the rice top down and then make it work.
What?
Um, what?
That's an error.
Okay.
You know what shit this?
If I had a hat on it would be off.
It would be off.
This is insane.
Like this is so, something that is really good in the top lane
because it's a longer lane where you can try and chase down this and better try and play around it.
That is true.
A lot of her tools.
If Rooster can close the cap on to this Aurora, it is not going to be a good time for Kana.
It is a difficult time to do that though, with the between worlds and like having some of these tools.
But this Aurelio can dominate this Aurora if she's given the opportunity.
Dagger, when you are on elimination point, there is nothing I respect more than throwing
your draft in and saying, let's just send it.
Bacata, thanks to production for looking this up, is 16 and 8 on Villego.
It is his first time ever in the LEC pulling it out.
He's only ever played it in the ERLs.
However, Rooster historically is 1 and 2 on Aurelia.
So that balances it a lot.
but he's always been playing Zoloky recently.
But his last game in competitive play was four years ago.
And he's decided in KC's arena here and every
to pull it out against Khan's Aurora.
Shifters, good luck.
If this does not go well early,
that I am worried about how this game progresses.
This game could flop very, very quickly for shifters.
Because every one of these champions,
Apart from India, I don't want a snowball out of control.
This is going to be nuts.
This is shifters throwing everything at the wall and begging to any deity they can pick up that something will stick.
I love it.
I love it, but I'm really scared.
You know, you get like that secondhand anxiety.
Let's hope shifters can show us a little bit more in this second game.
I'm just shell shocked.
And really, as you said, you know, Rooster doesn't have a good chance in this lane, but how isolated will it be?
How much can Bucata influence it before Yacht gets level 6 himself?
Because jungle is going to play an important role, especially here in Chifters.
Nice little setup with the ball, she went.
Or rather just a dive in instead, excuse me.
Well, that blade search from Rooster that kind of just hit him back with two-fold hex and that's it.
Yeah, rooster is what you have to guess, into a decent halt there.
There it is.
I got the first few minions, then was able to get access to the back three to settle for the class of Tomiji, jump on towards Kana.
So, nicely done already by rooster.
And there is that ward in the bush that was based by Kana to try to prevent that.
What you really want to do as a ready is, use that push, dive out and look for these quick trades and then try to dive away again.
But at least the moment for a trade, but obviously it's really hard to keep yourself.
and he already gets himself down.
A nice little flush frost.
Yike is currently unwrapped as spotted out by a vision.
He's going to be passing up towards that top lane.
Roosa got an early push in, 19th here already.
He's going to use his chance to get a little tree to reset.
Me, Mon, you've seen a bit of trouble.
And you might be making an appearance.
Slaughter down.
But again, he stops Yike in his path,
and Yike is just going to back off.
Now he used the goal to try to cover the distance,
the spell flux ended up fading off just before Yehuu could get in range to run the room prison.
So the follow-up wasn't really there, but still, Bindspace for Yehuu wants to look for that early
reset, so not the end of the world. I mean, like, showing doesn't really matter, both junglers are
just going to carecrap and then reset. So not the end of the world, but just a little
unfortunate there, Yehuu couldn't get in range. Well what is great though, inside of
Shiftless for now, is that bot is going quite well. Good push in here, play close to getting
achieved outside of what we saw in mid, even though there was an attempt to gate
and you can see pretty well in the lane, Piccata is clearing like nobody's business
straight on the scuttle nice and early gear. Response from Yacht is gonna be getting that topside.
But things went down though, they did spot the shadow, so know that this vehicle's on the bottom side of the map.
But again, I don't think there's any surprises really, like we saw those
early wards go down, everyone kind of aware of what the position on the map is,
And at least Rooster has to play a little bit more honest. I say that as Rick on the stop side, but maybe not.
Setting up, Rooster's fully stacked here. And on the corner he sets it up again.
Waiting again. When's the fullest duet? The fire and stands to poke.
Kana has to get sent packing. That's a good start here for Rooster.
Rooster even got the reset off to get that early call. So he's had to hold on to the teleport.
Managing the CS well too.
So if you look for these like quick trades and then guess the reset off as well
I think rooster's in a good spot. No risky
Honestly, who if he doesn't know what the wukong is to go for this proxy
But you can see how quickly he clears of the wave. Yeah, and they're gonna reset again
And it should be able to get back to lane again before he has to worry about a TP if you want
We're getting close to the Van Gogh's edge as well
I mean with the advantage find until the bottom six of closer to paddock and a bit of trouble close
His hand fire healing him up. He gets a piercing light
He sets forward into Kalis. Heal almost gets him in range.
Like Hobbit, he was ready to go in, but he didn't need to.
Kasey's bottom lane survives. Barrier and Heal burn.
But Flash and Heal from Pada Contribute.
The two-second cooldown in the E, you can see how valuable it is there.
So usually you end up eating the Q proc on your passive
to get the reduced cooldown enough to have another E dash up.
But a full shot through and Pada then has that dash available again,
which makes it so much more impressive in lane.
And you can see Paddock using it well.
Doesn't it burn in the flush?
Which is a little unfortunate.
Can't quite get to list.
Doesn't have any manner to take one of these explosive trades once again.
Cases bottom line are going to be exactly, or rather, perfectly fine.
Riccardo half the way to level six.
Focusing on that because he is going down towards Krugs for such a volatile lane.
And next scuttle is spawning around the bottom side to his right where he needs to be.
With a bit of a speed advantage as Yaku is heading towards Tar.
Can you get anything top though, Dakar?
No, I think he just wants to get vision.
Yeah, it's kind of just kind of where Bukata is.
We don't understand what's happening, so...
Pinkboard, please.
Flash, Flash Fox.
Setting up in the Glacial Storm, stand up.
It's beautiful ganking timing from Bukata.
Yeah, he gets himself a bit of movement thick from the phase rush.
It's a Flash Fox, Bukata come on the bottom with a damage.
He gets the more in the yoke, and now he gets a reset.
First by the Bukata.
He got the tip of the range.
Another Flash Fox is yoke.
Gets closer by and crystallize in the way, but he'll up for Buccio.
Gets him out of dog.
Yeah, he didn't have the flash available to get away from that one, was burned a little earlier.
It's a nice little dog there by Shepter, it's a punished up, and Summoner's about being down.
And a nice early game start for a deep team as well.
Carter's going to get bottom side scuttle. He's going to be so close to level six.
One more camp to take it. He'll use this opportunity to back away.
But that is a great kill when you're talking about wanting to ship this snowball.
This precarious game is what you want to make your attention on.
You can't have found that between worlds.
Not found!
Roosa rather not going to get a stun up,
but Kana gets that hell out of her.
I want to keep your eyes up with Kana though,
because this wave is going to bounce on both sides.
He's about to hit level 6 off these crooks with this reset door.
This could be a window for him to try and get in onto this bottom side
and mum has to clear that crooks.
They didn't even look over towards dragon as well,
as well. He's like now looking for the recess, but it looks like he's just gonna be happy to tear out.
But still again, as he said, there's a lot of volatility on the fucking side.
There's a volatility across the map, but there's a gold leafy shift with 1.2K.
It's looking great. And again, this is what it's about. Just keeping the pace going.
What am I, the only thing being tested right now, but it won't be an issue. Yeah,
you're hovering in the fog of war. Bucada goes around. Yeah, who now spotted out,
wants a realm warp, takes the country lettuce from the bottom of the river, but
Picard is still waiting. He went around Thog of War. Yeah, hovering around
special mall, gonna connect Picard without the shadow zone, use that
movement speed to walk all the way up, probably start his top of the site clear
again. I think he's gonna steal away Raptors here, just make his way in. Yeah, I think there was
the way he was positioning kind of gives you the team that looked,
The jungler is probably next to Gordam, so he's just gonna put up a Vuccio, take a very low lead.
Light no calling, Bursio on a lot of trouble, there's no flash available, but the product is a Valkyrie.
Kules gets exhausted though, now he's in deep, with no way to escape, piercing light again, barrier down.
Padak faves the 2v2, but he gets bursted, he's almost dead.
Almost dead, as Jaki's coming in with Cyclone available.
Kicking the Cyclone, Borsio doesn't do anything, and Padak is still in so much danger, Bursio has his flash available,
but Chipp is bottom laying, he's gonna turn into a dive.
Glosset long goes away, but Cyclone, perfect for the 8th.
Once again, who else can you trust? But Yike double kill for the KC legend.
KC make the dive half in, covering the bottom side. Yike will give up his top lane, topside jungle
for picking up two kills and shutting down Schifters, 80 carry as well.
Wrecked. Speeding this place before. Might not be the vibe of the Wreckong is on the
That Trinity Force so close to getting completed as well as KC
Make fun of success story with Kali's now having a gold lead off the back of it
Beautiful stuff by Yike and Ken
He's so good at understanding where he needs to be on the map. He's on in game number one
Now Buccio is helping to cover this top side as Rooster trying to see if he can go aggressive onto Kanna
Both the ultimate are up and available for Kanna holding strong knowing he's not supporting the wings
Rooster pulls back. He wants to play search, get himself up that ironing further and that
Jooling is so powerful for Norellia. We want to see Blade of the Rune king obviously, but
still for now it's a bit of sustain in the kit. So expecting to try and take on Kana again.
Yike meanwhile, he's using this pressure on the top lane to get the gloves.
I'm sorry quickly to note, Kana has rushed Tabi. I mean, against Norellia, it makes a lot of sense.
So, we can't go in safety first as Jyak is going grubs first here with all three tanks.
I mean, Dragon is still sitting there but no one really feels like they have full control of this game goes far to try and go for it.
So, grubs got an easy one.
Wukong, moving back down towards Watharite and again, like, even grubs, knowing that there should be some activity here.
Okay, so we'll kick back into Buseo, goes into campfire as well.
well, the card is on the way down. It's going to be spotted out as soon as Bruce here puts that ward down.
He sees that area under control.
The 8 cards are ultimate open available though. Now it could mean to protect his
rock. How do you make the play for this?
The dodge, pad up thinking about the culling.
Piecing right there up against the wall. There's the culling.
He's going to dodge, tie it away. Not going to connect and
bit of damage out. Pad up gets low again though.
He's going to have to wait for Trimby to put down the catfire.
Back as a national in-vanguards, waiting once more.
A reset there available for the Blade Surge, a minion available between Weld's
good counter, looking for the burst of weaning, the two-fold hex.
Everything being sent down to the floor is too wet, gets a stun on the way out.
Yeah, he's been troubling, Rome walked up to the top lane.
He's gonna be a pop-dive, but look for now.
Rooster's dead, a rallyer in the ground.
Big win for KC's top lane.
Yeah, New covers the play and Rooster used the ultimate too close to tower.
Connor just played in the edge of his terror range and said you jump on me
You're meant to get blasted and yet who helps out covers the plane
As KC taking control once more. There's nothing better than an Aurelia that doesn't get a head start in the game
And that's gonna be exactly what KC need to slow down this early game for shifters
And pot lane nothing happened back then nothing happened
So there's no response play from shifters and another lane
And so Yike and the other one again left the crooks and need to remove Bot.
They knew that there was a high chance of Foucault when the boy broke silent by Dalf.
He was going to try and make some sort of play, either to evade on Teri's bottom side or go for Dragon.
So Yike shifted down, covered the Bot side play, and Yeh who was able to cover the top.
And it's this constant push, pull with KC, that makes our early game so difficult to play against.
Like, we've seen Busey or Top twice already.
We've seen Yike top.
Yeah.
We've seen Yeh who top.
Like, everyone is covering for everyone else at all points in the game.
It's the lane again, but Ships is one that keeps his untouched possible.
Picard is coming in, Grom's going to be stolen though, Yaak is just going to steal this away.
Picard and Alonzo chase, Yaak gets over the wall, and Blaz is going to be taken out.
Nuka's there, he wants to get a five-thrucks cycle, and instead finds the engage.
Crystalized out, and Electricute is all you're going to see on top of Yaak.
And Ships is just can't get a response as the monkey escapes.
You've got me every step away.
Did up to invest the Cyclone which means
the gentle dragon honestly for Bucada
knowing that that ultimate isn't available
makes this monkey significantly less threatening.
Highest push on bottom lane, shifter
our nuke should be able to get control of this lane now.
We can see it again, like yeah who?
Disappearance at the Fog of War.
It's put up thick twice about going for any sort of fancy plan on the bottom lane.
There is good trading though.
I mean product doing amazing damage on Brucio
but the problem is it's sustained as Brusta once again.
There we go, bang guys.
Look, there's a point!
Yikes back here, without the oldies awaiting the burst,
has to flesh away.
Rooster escapes.
He's constantly fleeing as Culling in the bottom lane from Bousio.
Wouldn't even be fleshed away.
He's out.
Yeah, who's gonna cover his own?
Moving down just enough to realm warp,
but Casey are covering the bottom side,
so I play.
Duke needs to come across if they want to make it happen though.
Out of prison, not bad.
Fireball kick over the wall.
Yeah, who's here?
As you said, good room in prison.
He's right.
Get him out before anything else happens.
Riccardo gets a blue buff.
Re7 now I get a hit it again as I come to the contest 1800 the steal there
I'm live smart came through from Bucada as he levels up
So manages to get the blue but still you can see KC looking to cover these plays strong shifters
Nuke was on recess or couldn't really come across to contest them 3v3
KC can defend slightly
But still you're kind of seeing the shifters want to break open this game
They're trying so hard to find whatever angle of attack they can,
trying to play through these strong side lanes they have at the moment,
but it's just not cracking enough.
But Blade of the Room King, they're competing for Rooster though.
This top lane becomes that much more dangerous for Kanna.
Level 11 on the playing guard to edge as well.
That cooldown going to feel nice, but I guess the extra magic damage
where you're going to take away from it as well.
Increase lower by the bottom as well?
I can look through, I've got the power.
But now I don't think so, but at the very least I mean that cool down is going to be important.
Rooster really using it on cool down so far is driving going to go down.
That is still a win for shifters.
There's still a thousand gold up, but we set it at the start of this game.
There needs to be mega ultra pace shifters to find their way into this mid game with
a comfortable lead.
So they've kind of gotten to, actually, Mike finds Picardo.
Yeah, he's trying to run away in his own jungle. Yacht is really not afraid of this point.
In this case he has moved, being on the micarta, found out there's a flash.
Jyke wants to go all in, but the Blastcoe saves his life.
Yacht was ready to spin. That would have been another kill.
I really wanted to make that one out, but couldn't quite find it.
I was going to say, I think with the duck now, having the Stormraisers
can really help him play way more aggressive.
Has some movement speed to kind of bounce in, and that was up to his range.
You can see it here.
Yeah, he's alive though. Don't just hide away with that.
2v2 exhaust on the clutch, that's good.
And late shift, hell, the culling is really good, especially in Brucio, about to die, yes!
But I guess one!
Culling's down a 1v2, Fossil's come dodged away from...
But finally the 2v2 of shifters is on the ball.
This exhaust is doing so much work, that's Casey trying to fight back against it.
It's the second time now, that it's kind of hard for him with the pans down.
And this time it is Brucio the foe, that crucially burns both summoner spells,
trying to save himself, and still can't make it happen.
We go forward, we're waiting, Rooster gets everything down, defy and down to the tip, hits right into the nick of time, Rooster still holding on to his old team.
Now he's got the plate that's stacked up as well with the iron in fervor, you're right he can dive it, but he's not pulling the trigger and he lost his passive stacks.
So though, could very quickly get that back, wouldn't he want the melee minions and a couple of the backlight material in the mouth.
So now Kahn has to stick around, still could be the dive on the top side.
And you said it would have been great if it had been further back on the floor as you had dodged.
Would have just set up again for that play search that time he talked about.
Kana holds on to his between worlds, which is pretty crucial if there is going to be a dive in the next wave.
Bukata hovering on mids. He got moving from the other way though.
Trimby face-checking in a bit of trouble because let's go down to the wall.
It's an instant kill. Trimby can't be caught out like that.
The melee evolution needs to stick together.
It was just missed calls from Schifter at Bukata, kind of threatening that position, but didn't realize that, yeah, who would already start to move at Yike as well.
The two of them got sandwiched and Schifter's were under falling.
Trinby, it was the same story with last game as well, constantly caught out on rotation. As you say, the calls were mixed.
Casey snapped their George shut, and they're going to get the Herald.
Newk at the very least, getting something in the side lane here, but you can see there's going to be a response on top.
in top all the pins going down with five members of KC near the top plate.
The I-Quads immediately make a play though.
Rooster they expect is going to try and put it up though.
He sends it in again, Trimby's already back up and available.
Gatling Guns shredding down close in trouble.
There's the culling and he's going to dodge away.
Tidal Wave goes through the middle.
Schipter's having advantage here.
KC have to take the long way around to the mid lane as Paddock will get the push up.
Still nobody to respond to Nuke in the bottom side so the Anivia will be happy to pick up
a little bit more there.
Bukata chasing Yike out of his own jungle.
There's a hardbreaker in Banggood's edge and Riccardo sends it with a hardbreaker, look at the reset on the area, he flushes away, but he's dead!
Riccardo gets the kill and here we go, finally, suffering Dwayne, hardbreaker again, but Riccardo's got no health, Brett does life, still won't find the kill,
Yacht jumps in the hell and survives, crystallizes the wall against it, and it's a flush cross, but Yacht's now dead, but I get to kill, it's good for shifters, it's great for shifters!
Act of Prisoner's Karma, the burst on the youth won't be enough.
He's still gonna take the reflight, he's going to get the fight for us.
He's got the Virtual Storm out, can't in slow, can't run anywhere.
And KC are getting sent away by Chippenfield, he jumps over the wall somehow.
Trimby won't be able to stop him.
Yes, he survives, but Chippenfield makes some big kills.
It's so back and forth in that topside though.
You end up going, I believe 2 for 2 at the end, I'd love to talk to Chippenfield.
And then you use Midland Terror.
So as this goes through here, you end up dodging away from the stun.
So as I get into a double-jump before I get taken down by Rooster, then Kanna follows up with a great ultimate from Yui.
But Kanna manages to just barely dodge away from the Vucata ultimate in the middle of that.
And then, with the crystalline going down, Gills does not Yui Gills,
but ends up taking product so low off the back of this, that then Kanna has to play away from the rest of the fight.
Buzio keeps his middle, or top laner, topped up for so long on this though with the heels.
Great bubbles to keep him alive.
Top tower goes down as that replay's happening and we're back on mid to play.
And we're back on the paddock again, waiting for the Kaling, crystallized once more,
Valkyrie out, tied away from Buzio.
It lines between all of shifters as four members gather around the mid lane
because Dragon is up in 20 seconds.
Still though, that's Nami wave down for a nivia walk.
This should be shifters now, using the pressure that they have to move over towards this dragon and get it for themselves.
If Casey try to go forward, I don't think they really have the tools unless Yike can get a miracle ultimate off.
Cyclone flashed, that's what he has.
Paddock steps up and on the wave.
On Kalista, he's taking it.
Getting a little bit low.
Aquaperson dodged the wave.
Big one from Kalista.
Won't land.
Piccata now threatens like a shark.
He hovers around the wall, looking for a target, but Paddock has to back away.
Kaliskal hovering with Voss with Bombil clear the wave. Dagda, I think that little step up from Padak was a bit too much.
I think Padak wanted to use the exhaust but couldn't quite get it down in time and Kaliskal had decent trades, so we thought that's the dragon, but Rooster...
Kind of needs to be careful re-entering into this.
No minion wave waiting for the Force to wear. The Blade Surge is there for the Force to wear.
Dodged away from...Kryslai's dodged away from...
There's a stun there. Rooster's fully stacked.
and I think he's about to fangirl advantage I think he's about to drop the
ulti yes I mean it's not damn Casey initiated that pause by the way so we're
gonna find out why yeah I'm really not sure because it was a good W away by
Karna it was but I think the unit it's him but yeah but the thing is that's
what I don't know because Q came out late it looked like it was supposed to
It holds into the immediate queue, so I don't know if that was maybe this, but this is
records cruncher wondering how I got here, but we're going back into game.
Again, I said Van Gogh's edge, maybe from work. Okay, we're going to back off a little bit.
There's Karna, here's the replay, and yeah, way Karna gets crystallized.
There between worlds under Rooster, he's getting burst and Karna though.
He's already Van Gogh's edge and he's dead for shift. It happens exactly how we said it.
a kill over to the Anivia and shifters now 2000 gold up.
Yeah, that's what nicely done there.
The roam from Nuke after the play fizzled for shifters around the dragon.
They get the cross map and then more gold in towards Rooster.
Now, with this wit's end, terrifying for either of the solo laners for KC to Gogan's.
Not only is it the magic resist, the unhit damage, the unhit,
but also the tenacity on this as well.
And you can see here, kinda clipped by the flash frost.
The crystal line actually kind of goes back in that was miscalculation there
I guess yeah, I think he could have just back to where cleared the wave and there would have been enough
Kill over to the Nibia look at nuke this game 1.3k gold lead
Rooster as well
I mean it's a rally up it got ganked a couple of times but it's a thousand gold up a witzen picked up the eight piece solar lanes
Shifters aren't in a bad spot, Doctor, and they're trying to push the base even more so.
Baron now often available with Dragon Slaying the game down a bit, so there's no extra pressure.
They have to 5v5.
Picard is consistently trying to move around the map now with Collector.
And be a part of these big, fleshy plays that his solo lenders are making.
And, I should say, that Paddock is too.
It's everyone trying to make plays.
And I think this is kind of what we're expecting from Shifters, right?
You're lucky in champions like the rally in the Viego. You want to see this individual play making ability
Casey have been trying to keep tabs on us
But big by big shifters are growing this goalie now
It wasn't a mistake the product that led towards the the dragon take for Casey
But it was a respond of a kind with on the topside with Connor Casey now feeling confident though with the waves pushed in
To threaten and get vision and try to keep shifters back
If Shifters can't access waves, they can't help it.
The captain's playing second ball, Casey, you're waiting there.
Cyclone, no response.
Acre Prison's perfect!
You slip up once, and Casey will take it every day of the week.
Great setup there.
Push in waves, group as a team, get the vision, fish for the pick.
It's simple by the book, League of Legends, and it's something that might have just
dedicated, see a Baron off the back.
the back shifters wanted to contest new conscious reset but does he TP in it looks
like they're gonna try and do this they're trying to burst out Kana it's
far like stepping forward into mid wave but he can't do too much he said TP yes
but there's no smite between worlds used by Kana as Rooster is now here they're
looking for the team fight shifters in a 5-0 draw is tied away from Rooster if he gets low or he starts to fight quite well
Culling into Yeo, somehow.
Shifters are winning this 5v4.
So much with Burn for the pick.
3-0 is now down to keep Baroning at 5k, but...
Jyke can steal it. Jyke can steal it.
What kind of 30 years old?
You ride these on the way, Kanna gets the first down for Shifters.
An opening opportunity, 4k Baron.
Still there, it's getting extinguished.
And 2K, they're still... No!
It's taken by a bloody Anivia.
Nuke secures Baron and shifters. Swipe away the purple one.
This was such a great setup from Nuke on the crystalline wall. He isolates Buccio.
A Buccio panic ults into nothing. And that's the only real disengaged tool that was left for Casey on the plane.
so shifters confidently step forward and just like that it's a baron for
shifters out of what materializes basically nothing.
Open up mid lane off the back of it as well with this baron.
Dagger of lock can be done. Standing gold is there with inner turrets
and sides outer through mid.
Shifters have done what they need to do in the early game.
They haven't slowed down.
It's such a shifter style comp when you think about it as
Hang on a minute, Trimby again as he flashes over the wall, he'll survive, luckily enough.
Picardo looks for that, Maul doesn't find it, his corner goes into Invis, wants a fine paddock with a quick burst himself,
but it does stop the aggression as Trimby gets caught.
We're seeing the other side of Schimtner though, they're in a good spot and suddenly one or two mistakes starting to pepper their gameplay.
Trimby, nerdy gets caught, ceases all operations then on the Baron push,
And it's in fact the bot lane terror that goes down to Calistar's that push in the grand scheme of things.
Shifters, you've played incredibly well, keep this presence of mind.
Don't end up giving these mistakes over to KC.
When we talk about their strength in his early game, and then how to play it out,
but transitioning now, we're getting into the mid game.
Cullen comes in on the Calist on a bit to Kana as well.
Panak helping up the step forward as Bikatan now shows his face.
Three versus three with Yike. His flank you're right. It's dangerous.
Shifters need to go down. Panak is isolated.
Yike threatens, will not find the gap. Shifters back off.
They're gonna live to die another day. But it's still
and more time wasted on this rebel baron paraplay.
The thought wave has gone into the terror but it's KC who are threatening
the mid push down Rooster. They want to dive? Okay. Define
He dances, there he blades, so it does vanguards edge on the Yakuza exhaust,
then first kill, and Roost is going to reset and run the fight.
KC need to get out of there.
Now, shifters on the chase, the bird of prey, carnival escape,
and he flies over his wings and selvers.
There's a dragon down.
Shifters took that on the backside as 3,000 gold lead now,
the play, an overstay from KC.
That was the trade from KC, give dragon to shifters,
but it'd be KC who'd get the Midland Tower.
But Jyke just kind of went in for nothing.
He didn't have the ult available,
dove into the face of Rooster,
and Rooster was more than happy to punish him for it.
This is the thing about the Aurelia.
Even though we talk about the importance of the early game,
once you get a couple of items on your belt as well,
your ability to snap, engage, kill.
You get a bit of booing from the crowd.
I mean, they're not happy that Shifters are winning,
obviously, but Casey, in this game,
it's like they don't know how to adapt.
It's like they don't know how to deal with this.
They haven't beat.
What teams have played comps like this tagged up?
This crazy round war pin,
but it's in the nukes, waiting arms, tied away as well.
Nukes out of range, it didn't even fly in a choke.
Yuck finds them as hard breakers.
Just engage from chipters.
Ricotta gets out.
Cyclone now used as well.
Yes, the hard break up.
But if he finds a reset, it will be back.
Breath of Light also used.
Casey at the mid side track,
but Top is being aggressed.
We're getting to the post battle.
Yeah, we're just immediately gonna go for mid,
But mid lane is much weaker, so the push is going to come through faster here for KC.
They're immediately going to try to rotate. It seems like towards the bottom side, but the base now is in danger.
KC blinked, and it might be their base that pays for us.
Yeah, don't worry. All you're missing in top is the fact that in the turret went down.
Inhevitator does not. Base race stops there.
Oh my god, shifters. It would be an interesting way to try and get you to a game three.
The shifters are still going.
Floor straight is now down though, waiting for the weeding. The burst on the rooster is nice.
again bang god dead flash away from Kallimon so you're Kallis stepping in the paddock and
paddock says nice.
Lost you at get to stun Kallis was ready for the blade surge but Rooster won't take it.
Bousio's bubble onto Bucada was enough to delay that play no follow-up on towards that
start onto Kanna who is reasonably tanky with these uh pleaded steel caps or pleaded steel
caps but it's not quite enough to finish him off and KC kind of just keeping the finger
now is in this one, but a shifter is too early, half of them by the throat.
All it takes is another five-dagger around the next baron, basically in Tata's Dragon,
will be number three for shifters. This is how they stay in the LEC, it is a long shot.
All the statisticians out there will tell you it's like a 0.1% chance, maybe a little
bit higher but not that much higher. And everyone out there will tell you it's
it possible for shifters. Deathcans knocking. Currently they're saying not today. And this
is one of the most exciting games I've seen of shifters. It won't be their last one of
course. They've got water playing the season. If they lose the series again remind if it
is a 0-2 for them they are out confirmed and SK will be joining them. KC can dig
two graves here with a win in game two. First they've got to get over the hump.
is Shifter's power playing these sidelines with In-Tar going down.
I feel a lot of life dust.
As KC, want to try and catch them in the resets.
They see the radio midway, nothing but a little bit of time,
but Shifter's walk out of the units, barring about to spawn soon.
Honestly, it's Shifter who have control,
they're the ones pushing in, they're the ones with the tempo.
It's KC who are scrambling for control.
We're going to try and use this moment, not reset and look to sneak some vision in around this burn objective.
How far can this go, shifters?
Baron's now up. A minute ten for the dragon.
Casey hold position.
We're caught on that level sixteen yet but he has a level lead over Yike.
If he gets control and shifts his stock clear again, vision.
Yeah, who's bot lane?
That's the realm war if you need to.
Me, B-Walk shifters are trying to fish for here
as they start to step forward in case he's jungle.
Once that rise shows up, bot lane wants more.
I think we're going to see shifters
ready to keep it up and on cheer as they start to step forward.
And once more, we're getting these trades on the map.
Brewster set it up, white search in on the counter.
Who goes in, B-Z, Bucada was there, ready to match.
His flash not available, but heartbreaker there
to get over the wall.
In the turret, almost dead.
Paddock's confidence is getting greater.
His collectability to step up is good as well,
but you see Parvain, he doesn't care.
There we go, Relentless pursuit in.
Good damage for the Arden-Blythe.
And this was trying to get the rocket
to stop the Amnibian from resetting,
so the airhook could continue to push.
But it wasn't the case.
Couldn't quite get us.
Hadoop protects his mid laner.
And it means the airhook has to back away.
They're looking to collapse them.
They're trying to fake that everyone
from shifters is going down the airhook
is just ghosted.
Bruce is going to move back up.
Baron was a thought, but I don't think
Casey had taken the bait.
Oh, but they will be able to clear the vision.
And four shifters to face check.
Bucada gonna fake this.
The realm work can come through from here.
That's actualizer now for the rise.
That's the break point KC were hoping for.
Shifter's not walking anywhere near the brush.
They spot out the KC and moving towards Baron.
Is it like they ask themselves,
Trimby gonna play check first with control ward.
Dagger, Baron could be dangerous.
Kalesi obviously pulled off it.
KC now have given Shifter's idea that it's a ruse.
The dragon is gone though.
Again, Shifter is playing slow,
playing pretty objectives.
KC trying to look for angle Bucada.
Watching for Jyke, looking for a flank and KC's bluff is not being called, instead Chipper is using the TP's.
Oh, but Bukata's going to come around, Lens sees Jyke, sees Jyke over the wall, he's in this for now.
Jyke has no idea that he has the information, special wall, because overfines him, he reset Jyke.
He's going to get Nuke, one more hit, but he can't get it, Reigns, Chris White's good, he's going to be burned.
Here's Rusa, Faker, that's Flash, now Blazor, Falsu, and Jyke's dead, reset,
Hardbreaker, playmaker, shifters, a breaking KC!
The crowd gets quieter and quieter as a play from Rooster Honorellia sets the scene.
There are four very happy men in the crowd as shifters, managing to get the play that they needed
will move over towards the baron, but it's awesome but Dupke's down, but it's only three members of KC.
Banna has the burst, doesn't have the ulti, goes in front of the belt, doesn't need anyone with the two-fold X to win.
Under Bucada for the wall, it's beautiful!
Re-step for Rooster, a blade search, a bullet-rackalist will kill him though.
Rooster is dead, but Baron, not yet until now, shifters have the play.
5,000 gold and I see the flag waving as you said, Dagger, from four people standing strong in the crowd.
The value Paduk is getting from this exhaust has been insane, so Bucada ends up stunning
the clone as Yike follows the plane, with Nuka's able to separate with the Crystalline
wall and buy space, but watch Paduk here, he goes for Yeh who has to follow up on towards
Kalis and immediately exhausts the actualiser arrives, Yeh who has to run for the hills
and it's that moment where that exhaust poise the damage that is needed from Paduk
I'm here, kind of misses everything.
And it ends up being Kalees, who just barely gets enough damage to the job.
BS, that wall is so broken.
Nicely done from you.
Kalees gets away luckily.
I mean, I thought Rooster was going to find the killers.
He's now respawned.
He's got a hole breaker, a BF sword, and Bucata almost a pick on the guy.
Goes into the clone, but Baron is down.
Shifters on there with a thousand gold with it, but they have two minutes more
that they can now play through it.
Yeah, who? Trying to see the other side of himself again in the side leg.
But he's matched by Rooster, no teleports on the Irelia,
and Realmorp is available for you.
This may be the moment to collapse on shifters,
and may have to overextend to the TP plays there.
This is KC throwing their Hail Mary.
It's going to start on the big card of the Cyclone,
finding him with a high break, and tied away,
signing them out between most beautiful flushways from Newt,
Trinby, and that's fine, but I stand to grab him to no avail.
Casey has found the plate.
Where's the worker that falls to it?
Has he played so soon for one kill, or is he a flush?
I suppose he doesn't connect.
He's slaughtered, or black hole is buzzing.
Thank God there's, where's the jumps in?
You're like in the clone.
The green plate is dead.
And Casey returned to the stage.
Yeah, who pulls ready into the ballgame?
And when Rooster showed, KC saw their opportunity and they pounced.
Everyone collapses on mid lane and Shifters are left stunned.
You see the play here, the second already it shows.
Kana, TP's to the mid lane.
Yeah, who cuts off the retreat with the round war and Yike dies in.
No way, the support was coming.
Shifters taught they had it all, and KC take it from them, and one fell through.
Yike again, playmaker.
As Rooster, I mean, Dago look at this, but like, he almost finds Yike,
if he's home-time in great, if he gets a reset there, stuff,
Blake surging it off.
Maybe, just maybe.
GA now pick up on Rooster.
That wasn't used in the last play.
Four out of Marelia.
Shifters are now only a thousand gold up though
Casey were down about 4k against Baron which is the minus 3k Baron powerplay by Red Bull
Shifters still have that chance
They're still the ones pushing it is Casey you have to find the miracle fight
But now with shifters all hands on deck the TP to me
and he's going to be separated and the shifters who are calling the KC set up a dragon too early
They're just rushing the base that can rise just clear. This is the biggest question of memory
So that actualizer is shifters all five of them is coming in between what's on Kana doesn't hit the burst
Yeah, who holds this ground is shifters try to look for a direction at the realm of it. Yeah jumping any bases
He bites
Cyclone, put a dead guy down again with GA, with AOE, everything goes right and shifting into a barrio braille, it's his people on the blue side.
Shifters try, but Casey catch them again, they play it slow and Shifters go into the choke with an army wave that seals the deal.
Shifters are runnies, look at the mid lane, it is not for Dragon, it is for the game and for Casey.
But they don't get us. They didn't delay. Shifter turns to Fyce, and now it's KC who are
Grounding back over towards the dragon. They should be able to get us, but two kills go back over
This game just got so much more interesting. It really did. I
Was already encapsulated by the truck from shifters, but now these bikes
Simulticulate as Casey found the choke, but it's as shifters run up into this area. We get who beating
It's the Nami waves that really cuts them off.
Paduk is stuck in the base as Buseyol cuts off the rest of the team.
So Yike drives in to follow up.
And Paduk can't survive.
He gets the example of Yahoo, but there's too much damage to follow.
And then the point goes to Rooster.
Rooster's down at the level 19.
He comes forward, she went to buy and dance.
Off the vanguard, there goes Blake.
He thinks he can take it, but he can't.
That's actualiser for you.
And actually, I think KC are looking to win in this game.
Cardiff come back to base, shifters are going to push the duo of KC away from the bottom lane
But in 25 seconds, Baron is available in 45 seconds
It's when rooster spawns, so shifters are trying to chase down Jyke
Trying to stop the KC jungler from getting the Baron
And the movement through from Ricardo's great spectral mind is going to hit Jyke
Crystal eyes out, he goes in for the play
Team is going to be burned, KC say ok, let's take it
GA available as well, GA in the flushes, in out the rumble,
Bacana gets up with a heartbreaker, but look at GA, look at Kana,
Burkfoss away from Bacana, needs a reset, Starr, GA who sits in the social stock,
the burst is big, you're doing what he can, but GA who goes golden as well,
you can have to die, go into Eggnivia, there's a trade, but no reset.
Bacana can't get a reset, and she'll then give in to Egberthusia.
The flay? What the hell, where did this fish come from?
Y'all can take over the wall, Bacata's bound to collect your wall.
They're going to reset the Cyclone, Bacata, not dead!
Reset, okay back to where the hell are we at?
So the 280 carries end up fighting with Fusio trying to help out,
but with their last auto attacks, but look, they just killed each other.
This was why KC were fighting 3v4 in that river,
and shifters managed to come out on top.
Now with Baron, shifters turn their focus.
Fogada with Rooster and Trimby should be able to get this, and this game keeps going.
We'll see this as we start to get into it. This is the replay.
Kalista, Busey trying to make the play, but for Duck, Racer's Duck, the dodge away,
but the final movement gets the kill, and that's what Busey came in from behind.
But this is where we get to see what Shifters were attempting to do.
Jyke didn't get to reset, he didn't get out, and then suddenly KC feel like they have to save him
with that G8, but as they go in, Kukata manages to escape thanks to the heal from Milio, and then Nuke
getting a ton of damage off, and Binds have so much time with this dacus, with the egg, he kills
off Yehud, Yike goes low, and it's the follow-up from Yike who tries to do that bit too much,
if he had just recessed, maybe this is where KC can stall the game, re-attempt the Baron,
What he thinks he can take is, but there's too much healing from this Millial and from Bucada.
So Baron in shippers hands again, Kana found out. Crystal lives, Warrant Rage, Kana gets out in the nick of time, Bucada.
Again, all it takes is a reset dagger, gives Viego, he gets one kill and the game hits down like dominoes.
But we're seeing the exact same thing again, KC splitting the map, Rooster pushing at bottom right.
Yeah, who put your top? Newt gonna answer. Yeah, who use the realm warp to get there though
That's why yike now gonna be spot on the ward as he tries to help out
Yeah, who but that should open up shifters to push in onto the block tier two
I say see oh what lane I make the play no way blast John Newt gets found out. He's got no egg crystallized
There it is the wall, but he splashes away yike cyclones that flash boss was dodged
The KC meanwhile I lose their bottom side of the base, I ain't got that on the cliff, it's a 2D, I think it is, cliff is alive but not Buccio,
product jump sand, wait, Shifters have got an angle, heartbreaker, reset, two members of KC trying to back in time.
New Kistopters, New Kistopters, they've got the wall, New K has held on, KC, they may just be about to lose the game.
Shifters trying to get their dreams alive, the LEC is going to go on for them, they never say die with a draft like this,
like this, Nexus turns it down, then Nexus pays him and turned into a library.
It's the shift that's coming alive.
Shifters hold on to their wind.
That was such an insane performance! What a game!
I don't know how I'm going to cast another one back down,
But Shifter deserves that win.
Finally, a draft that I can get behind.
Finally, a Shifter that looks pretty damn in charge.
That game was all about what they could do.
And they performed to a tee,
Law and Nukes standing by.
It's hot damn.
Thank you very much for joining us.
We are used to seeing a shift in your games.
It has not been the case today.
How difficult was it to not succumb to your usual problems?
Very good question.
I think the draft helped.
We had a very good game.
We had a very good game.
We had a very good game.
We had a very good game.
We had a very good game.
We had a great game.
I think the draft helped, we had a good body, we had champions with a strong community, etc.
So that's what helped us to know the win condition.
I think the majority of the game we managed to play and put the team on the top.
No shift, no throw today because they had a good draft, they knew their win condition and this is what helped them today.
You heard them behind me, you heard them behind me, do you want to add something?
Thank you brother, thank you, thank you, thank you, it's going to be fine.
There are fans shifters up there!
You're good, you're good guys!
Thank you, Luke, thank you so much.
He's saying thank you to the fans, obviously upstairs.
Continue to eat it, I think he really likes it.
Camille, I'll give you the word.
Well, well, well, just for that.
If it is in the air, we'll shifter it, alright?
We spent eight minutes talking about how good KCR is.
We've spent many more minutes than that in the previous few weeks and then shifters just shifted all over the
Yeah, I just can't as like
Rooster just took off his headsets or muturis teammates just started blasting levels by Vici locked in Aurelia
I just did not care about the result of that game
I love to see it and I think the fact that it is locked in the Aurelia Viego combo just the selfish picks
They're on the wrong right now and it's kind of working. They're actually battling it so so with what a crazy game
it genuinely felt like it could have gone anyway at any point and I mean we should just relive the final fight because
That the final Baron was kind of the final nail in the coffin
But this seat was a bot side of map
It was a fight on two fronts a siege on the bot side from shifters meanwhile a fight on the top side as
Nuke tries to stop the bases he tries his best to keep both
Yahoo and I occupied to allow for shifters to get the numbers advantage and he's able to find it
He's able to distract them
Interrupting two to allow for shifters to find that final seed. This was just those final moments
What a great sacrifice from new to enable his team to find that I mean I know we're here there really
But that was one of the best blue walls I've seen today by a nuke absolutely crucial there
Stopping two bases with one wall like that just nails it for the shifters and the fact that they win this game
Gotta be a confidence boost gotta show this at least can't fight them on an individual level and importantly
Even if they lose the series now
They are still in contention of a playoff spot even if they go down one and two
They can still make it into our top six obviously we will still be very difficult for them
But if you make Casey bleed once
It's there the possibility that shifters can do to the room. Oh, baby. That's that's future fire
I mean, it's one of those things where of course it wasn't a flawless performance from shifters, right?
We saw gaps and pieces where Casey was able to find windows of opportunity to punish them attack
then, pricked them apart. I think we had four barons in that game. That was a good one.
So it was an intense affair where Casey were doing a really good job of finding ways to
fight back, but credit to shifters because they didn't give up. They didn't let that
stop them from being as proactive as possible on the map wherever they could. And they
were bringing the fight to Casey, which I love to see.
I mean, to me, one of the cool plays that shifters kept doing this game is they
They shadow Rooster on the side there with Anivia, but at the same time Paduck is dashing in on mid-waves.
They're just pushing advantage of two fronts, making Casey second-guess themselves.
Where is the jungler? Because they're both playing so aggressive.
And Lucian has won two games now!
The buffs were clearly the difference maker. Lucian, Milio perhaps making a comeback, but something that we've heard...
Well, I think from Jack, you, Anno to all say is that when you give Paduck something that he can just be aggressive on,
I mean, he lives up to that potential.
I'm an absolute there, I think the fact that he's going full side-back mode in these games.
He's just going completely loco and in the laning phase as well, they were pushing both
Kallis and Boussio. It started from level 1, you constantly saw him dash in in laning
phase, take his really good piercing light trades and just put pressure to make sure
this Corki Nami, which is supposed to be a lane bully, did not actually get to
turn your gears on. Yeah, it's rare that we see Kallis push
this far down as he was in this game. Boussio as well, didn't, he had some really
good Tideways but also had a couple that missed, I think about the one down towards
the the crugs that missed the two people who were running away. If you hit that,
perhaps the game would have been very different, but all credit to shifters.
Like they found the weaknesses in Casey's playstyle and they found their own strengths,
which is something we have not seen from them so far across LEC Sprint.
Yeah, I think a couple things like Connor didn't have a great game one and in game two,
we really didn't feel his impact that much either. There were a couple of fights, of course.
I mean, where every single player at some point had a good moment because it was like a 45 minute
game bloodbath but really the biggest moment where it shifted was around the
first Baron where it was actually Casey that started this objective off and then
shifters were able to move in and contest this objective and it was great
awareness from them because it was quite an ambitious force from Casey clearly
they wanted to get the TP out from Rooster and once they got it they then
tried to turn for a fight but look at the poke that's landing on the Buccio
look at the damage that Yike is taking on the backside they thought they
a disengaged but then the Baron stays aggro.
I mean it's absolutely to say this is a very bold play like don't put your feet in the
cupboards unless you're ready to face the consequences because here Casey just pulled
the Baron and just played a game of chicken you guys are not going to confess right but
when they walk in like this you gotta have a plan either you turn and their plan was
a Yike 50-50 smite which in fairness has worked in the past a lot for a Yike but
it's just a bold play by Casey well punished by shifters.
And this is another example of Casey being the one to try and force the issue and
And Shift is just responding very well.
I think that ultimately Shift has demonstrated some great team fighting this game and they're
able to pick apart some of the over-eagerness that we did see from KC.
Clearly, the fatigue from this game was starting to get to KC, and Shift is able to find angles
to already punish them.
I think credit to Nuke.
The crystallizes the position of the Glacier Storm as well, made it very hard for KC to
actually get onto the back line in a lot of situations.
And when you are playing like that, it's then the ability to re-engage with Rooster
TPing behind, and you have Bucada going in with a heartstopper as well.
There's so many options for shifters on the re-engage if KC don't get that shot gun and get the first person down.
I mean, that's the reason why Anivia is so strong into Ryze, and not just Ryze. Look at the entire comp of KC.
They're all quite short range. I mean, Korky has a dash, but these are all low-range champions and playing as an Anivia.
That is competent. As competent as Nuke, he made their lives hell. Every single teamfight, you saw a crystallized catch,
So about after the dash you saw stuns landing and you saw the glacial storm just making the follow-up impossible
And you see the value of this pick and the brilliance of nuke my question is is this a blomster fin
Approved a really a top lane yay on a I mean there was at least I think seven deaths or something so definitely prove
Classic one could say yes now it's a it's an interesting situation that we find ourselves it
First of all, I've come to learn that lore has monumental powers to curse.
That is true. We have slashed channels where we talk about which team's going to win,
and lore just went into the shifters when I said there's no way they can do this game.
There's no way, yeah. I mean, eight.
We also, on the previous analyst desk, spent seven minutes basically saying there's no way
shifters is able to turn this series around, but they've done it,
and now they have their destiny and their control, right?
right they can do a lot of things first they can stop KC going on their winless splits and they also get to just significantly increase
Lost this I did mean that one
Shifters win the splits. Yeah
Shifters can stop shifters
So there's a lot on the line here for shifters and they seem to have found a formula as we get deeper into the draft with more champions
well fewer champions becoming available my words are a little bit twisted given
that we've been here for many hours I don't want to expect anything like
obviously Casey should still come in as the favorites but the thing about the
fatigue that is affecting all of us with the very war marina with the players
clearly not playing at the top of their game I do wonder if shifters can find
that early game lead once again and convert it into another surprise
victory I think it's gonna be a shifters were fighting for their
lives and now they're not sort of situation and Casey are going to stop them in 25 minutes.
I think shifted like they put a lot of energy into that game and it was a long one and I
think Casey just have the fundamentals that they'll revert to in this point.
I mean I will say usually in a best of free fearless you come into game three and you're
like okay all the meta champions are out. Last game was a lot of non-meta champions
like Arrelia, Gragos, Lucian, which is debatable. So in the end still a lot of meta champions
are up and available which is a little bit of an oddity because it is a game-free so I do imagine
we're going to see a little bit back to basics now but I would love to see shifters build on this
weird drafting because it's clearly the only thing that's working for them. Yeah I really
did think that the Viego was a little bit out there especially being into Yike because he's
kind of the Viego guy but hey it worked out a lot of the early skirmishes they were able
to win out on a trace and I think that going for this more lane-dominant early skirmish
approach, leverage the early lead that they've been very successful at building, and then
basically turn it into a scrap fest or skirmishing all over the map, constant fighting, but also
I think it comes back to this idea that shifters with individual agency, they've got the hands.
That is not really under debate at any point in this split, it's just the coordination.
But if you build a comp where you don't need to be as coordinated, instead everyone
can just do their own thing, then perhaps that's the formula that they need to pick
apart KC.
I just don't see where you can get that comp from now.
I think the Iniviate has so much work for you.
Both teams are in the mud, you cannot see what name is on the jersey, okay?
Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about. We're in game 6 of the day, Nick.
If I have a hydrophobic jersey, you can still see my name.
Depends on the mud.
What type of mud are you guys? Uranium Enriched Mud or something?
It's made of water, tune, water and dirt!
Gravel. We're gonna go.
What is gravel made of?
Stones.
Yes, and stones are made of?
Stone material.
impacted dirt
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Brother, brother, let me try.
Wait, brother. Let us break this instead, brother.
Have a break. Have a KitKat.
What is this, brother?
Perfection.
Red Bull gives you wings.
Now, we're not going to lie, it has been a long night, we're a little bit cooked, it's
been seven hours of casting just about and for some reason
Shift has decided to get us one of the best matches. It was a sick game on elimination point. It was a great game. I loved it
Yeah, I'm just I'm sad. This is the first time we've seen this from shifter
It was insane early game some great team fighting rooster again coming out clutching some of these top lane moments with your earlier
Yeah, like this was insane to see and then I will say paddock solution was sick like yes
That was great for two. We're two for two on Lucian. What is happening?
We're changing the region. I don't know, but our Korean's also pretty good.
Casey, I don't think they knew what hit them either. I think the biggest thing about that game was like
they didn't know how to approach that draft because even then they found ways to come back.
It was like shift has never took their foot off the pedal.
Yeah. Do you think they like suck there? Of course. In this scenario,
We're going to play against Irelia, Viego, Lucian, Baldein and then we're like of course this is what we're going to see, you know, yeah.
We had our approaches. This is normal. This is okay. I mean, shifters by the way, if you're wondering, kept themselves alive in the LEC now, their chances are so slim because they're 0 and 5 out of a possible 9 series played.
However, they're still alive and KC, if they lose his next game, it will be their first series loss in LEC Spring.
And can you imagine saying who it's against?
Shifters, the team we thought was going to be 10th or 9th.
Maybe KC really are interested in G2.
They have him now sluice to the bottom tier team.
Maybe that's what it takes to become a top team.
Well, as we get in the game 3 draft, let's see what shifters have in them now because
it got me excited regardless if shifters get knocked out of LEC.
If we see more drafts like that and their ability to pull it off, what a new direction
if we enter the team.
In time.
Stop playing standard boring drafts and your players can do that.
Give us some fun crap.
Like that's what we want to see.
Stop trying to play a style that probably doesn't zoo your players.
But to be fair like I don't even think like shifter's playing particularly uninteresting style right like when you look at what rooster's
And playing he's willing to bring out all these carries in the top lane and traditionally it's just been
This just
culminated together
Yeah, like the biggest criticism or so of shifters has been that when it hits the 25 minutes it goes wrong
People get cost then the head goes down and constant mistake after mistake follows this time around though
You'll have to see as we start to get into game three what the plan is going to be because
Already, once this draft comes up, there's some spicy picks that are going through right now,
by Scree.
Uh, yeah, Shift has just locked in a virus.
Now, again, Rooster plays some spicy picks.
Yeah.
So, after what we saw in game two, honestly, I'm starting to think about Yorick.
I'm starting to think about Nalphite, Silas.
I mean, the world is a shift of the Royster right now.
Casey did first lock in the Lulu.
So you can't see it on the screen yet, but surely that will be popping up.
Because in game 3 draft, oh my god they can cook.
And Niko also just got locked into a chance-up of the 22.
I mean, imagine if it's Lulea Unara here, Karna did play the bar as top yesterday.
So very, as you say, high chance that this bar is just going to the top lane.
But I do wonder if that's the case, what do you put into the bottom lane to answer?
Because I'm not really sure what you can send to answer to Lulea Unara with, you
You know, Forkinami gone, Ezreal karma gone, Ash Seraphine taken off the board.
It has to be Yenari, right?
Like, surely.
Even if you take it into a lane that you might get bullied in if that is a Varus pod.
As Nocturne gets locked in, there's no Orianna that was taken away by Yehu in the first game.
There's no war appearing with it either, which is another popular pairing, so Nocturne needs something else.
Yeah, I think it was so
The nocturne is an interesting one because I think the Lulu can help it out flights. It's actually in the early place and
It's funny to me to see Zinz out just completely bypassed in this sort of situation
Yeah, and as this is that's one of the things I look out for a lot when I see a yike plane
But they've gone past their aided car as well
So this could easily start to turn in towards things like you know a fellos Lulu Jinx Lulu
If the Unara is now taken away.
No, right. That's not going to be lost.
I was going to say, I think...
Annie does, yeah, I was going to say it relatively OK into it.
This is a new special, though.
The Cassiopeia is something he's been willing to fall back to as a comfort pick
in a lot of these later portions of the series.
And now into the Annie, like, not your traditional mobility,
but definitely against the composition that I think is going to be relatively short range.
It can work out and I imagine what they're going to start to do is by the way, James, by the way, you know, I'm trying to force Calista to something like this, if any of us that then the Cassiopeia could try to arrange.
I got part of that. I'm sorry. We're so deep. I'm so deep for the lights.
I know you. I know you.
The audience. That's the main thing. I'm sorry.
But there's the things that are taken away, right?
So you still want something from Bucada that can try and place.
Toad to Toad these early stages like so Jarvan, Zinzo, Hathion taking away you want a jungler like a fuck
Could be
Ali Shinge
Or for Bikata. What do you think of Kha'zix?
Pat against something? What do you reckon?
It's not the end of the world
The only thing is so like I don't think you have anything basically that can match
So I think it's a case of do you just try and match, take something that can match level
6 with Nocturne, Nocturne and basically go and feel like we're gonna hatch at the early
stages or do you try and do it on the same level as the LCK and go, hey I'm gonna have
like impact in the early stages and try and take the least in to get into lanes very
quickly because if this bar is just go top, you're in a lane that's very volatile
and you can try and dive with them at the top lane.
In the ante you can try and play through as well and a follow-up damage, so play
against the enemy with no funnel to actually help you, you've got to leave the box, Sedjuani.
At least in those lanes that enable him to gank.
And I think with both the virus and this mech, it's a hard separate if you do not know,
but we'll have to see.
It is a good theory craft, isn't it?
It's going to be jungle here, you'd expect.
Oh, oh, the Bucata Sedjuani.
Now, Shado on Team Eridix when they play this at least twice, not sure if it was
all three, but regardless, that's a bit of setup there.
And it makes me think that maybe the virus is bought because they're gonna look for something like a Renekton top
Just I mean
He doesn't feel like either tank or something like a Renekton of bruiser that's melee as
Casey are playing it safe front to back or at least a tank frontline. Yeah, it does feel like though the
They're kind of been secreted to the jinx angle
Like I can't think of any other any carry that you'd want to try and pair the new Lewis and and again
It's fine to scale into later portion of the game with not going to do particularly well and try to match the push push from this
Varys and
Niko so okay actually server true
It's the other answer to just try and match the push and because I don't think you have enough with the jinx there
So see we're more than likely going to be the play and and then yeah
As you say very strong front to back simple team fight
combination from KC with Yike having the ability to try and make plays with this ultimate and
That would be spicy
Hold up.
No, Kay, I want to get locked in, right?
Oh my god. Dagger, I have foresight.
It's that. It's Olaf.
It's getting locked in!
Oh my god!
Dude, I mean, you know what, shifters?
I love it. I love it.
You know what, you're impressed with me today. No matter what happens, 6-7 by the way.
Good one.
Olaf locked in for Roosa. I mean, I'm...
Look, I'm 31. I don't really get it, but I just, I do understand that shifters have
God style. You know? Impressive day for them.
What shifters do have is some really cool goblins.
Yes.
Sejuani Ultimate, change of corruption, non-committal engage that can try and enable them to start
fights. If they get those fights started, they just breeze past the frontline like
Xion does not stop Ola and you have a short range AD carry in the Sibir on the opposite side.
She will not survive fights if Rooster gets ahead. So if I'm shifters, focus from Rukalla
to get this Ola into a position where he can become a major threat and take over in fights.
And from there, I think you're in a good spot. On the fifth side for KC, I think you've kind
of got to follow the ball a little bit. Wait for your ID hit that level six and then you've
got these windows where you can try and play around with pseudo-engaged tools on
with Lucille in the bottom lane, with Nocturnal into the wall,
grows up for the Ani, Shia's great engage setup for this Nocturne.
So this is a slow the game for KC, and Shifter's one at lane.
Just put it into the drive, I want to go the other way.
Do it again, KC are obviously out in force.
At the end of the last game, you get in here and they went silent.
They were upset and shifters found a win that was so stile.
Riccardo's getting invaded on.
Yeah, who dropped some ward, they're back off.
And that'll be just about it.
But as you said, running over KC this game.
I'm curious about top lane.
I see if Bruzzy can accelerate.
As you said, Riccardo, I mean, he's got a lane to gank.
He's got the setup.
But I was set to want to, and Olaf early, how much fun it's kind of going to have is the real question.
Not much, not much.
Again.
Yeah.
It's uh...
If Rooster just gets to chase you down at any point in time, it's just not fun.
And I think that's...
As kind of you don't have many ways to stop him, you've had to stand still to get your cues preventive.
already setting up trying to proc the conqueror to try and go for some of the early plays kind of taking the shield to try to
lie some of the early hope that can come through but especially as you start to take over to like level 3
you play around your full campaign enabled I think that's really where we're still used to start to take off
I'm curious about Sol as always because Kentex Sol
O-Life one of the best champions you utilize as well as you describe below 50%
Meanwhile, we're talking about below 50% paddock, and a bit of trouble here in the early lanes,
but listen, Rooster has got a lot of two-bursts, as Yike is looking towards a bot lane, maybe
the in-blade, but Rukate is also the side of the map.
Yeah, it does mean that Rooster ends up completely isolated on the bounce back,
but the bounce back is the most dangerous time for the side, because then you've got
the long range as Rooster hits three to try and fight him and chase him down,
and I think that's where the most dangerous moment is, but Yike in the moment is using
reason to push the hasn't lost and he's been set up for an advantage himself.
I take this blue buff, Ricardo takes the long way around the gromp.
It's a win for Yaike, he's got topside to clear.
I mean nice timing of the invade and honestly good roam from Buscio to support.
So I'm still watching just this top play wave.
This is where the freeze starts to kick in and it's a little bit of a big wave
so maybe Russo won't quite be able to but it's basically this moment where
Kana is a little bit over extended. You can look to chase him down, but he should be fine.
The wave a little bit too big, I think, for a recent early track play around.
Kana invading maybe get some deep vision, or go the long way around for a gank for Kana.
He can't go through try brush. He has to go around the crows.
He's going through try brush.
Getting a bit of information, and he'll get botched. Got a while. Again, Yike is up.
He took away the blue buff.
It hasn't gone out for the Scuder Crab quite yet, but now it looks like wrap around into...
Actually no, it's not going to take it.
So we'll be back down towards the Raptors.
So this little delay, the level...
Are the second crabs spawned pretty substantially,
but Jaik has already picked up at least a little bit more
when it comes to his experience.
So he's less reliant on that Scuder Crab to hit his level 6.
And this one now denies Bucada Scuder Crab to take over to level 6.
6th and so we'll actually give a little bit of advantage towards Mike when it
comes to just the experience he managed to pick up thanks for blue. And also you
know throwing off that like where every car is gonna go next but I mean again
it's nice is yeah who might be a bit of trouble waiting for the arctic to get
sold he's got to start up flashes away the flow is not gonna do much but yeah
who now down a flash. Yeah who just about have to get out of that before the
bouts are connected so still have to flash away you can see pressure
ready from shifter is it this is what got that and ask him started further was
couple of nice plays from thought it to try and open up burn some summer spells
and look to put it later on that's it that's gonna be a similar story here
you're right like last game I think also it felt like there's a barrier to
be used really good timing here from products we get to back off as the
list just getting ordered by Trimby good damage here in fact Calist if
There's a Q, Kalis. Hang on a minute.
Trimby's out of mana.
See anything properly saving him from a potential Tangle Barbs?
I was keeping an eye out there.
Top of your prop though,
because I'm pretty sure Nekal with that fourth auto attack
would have killed Kalis, but a...
Tangle Barbs is there.
Under time, hang on.
Busey almost does it with the minions,
but now getting chased down.
Padak, he's got a lethal tempo.
That's an on-hit bar.
Busey with a good land.
It's going to be safe for now.
Shield over the health mix.
Nice hail of arrows.
The slow flush.
Pusio kills then flashes the piercing arrow almost almost Pusio lucky to be alive
Mary looking to be alive was hoping to get the kill and ends up going back to Biden both summoners now down to the Lulu
But the duck did end up training his as well
So both sides a little bit more vulnerable after that trade, but I think for him shifters
Since you aren't gonna be much in a much better position trying to take advantage of that
Although as I say that, Jake, close enough to that level 6 now.
As soon as we get that first paranoia, I mean it tells the game, really.
First couple of paranoias.
You hear any analysts, any cast that talk to you about how important they are.
You talk about getting the game rolling, or at least stopping the game rolling for shifters.
If you're KC, you're committed to getting some of these lanes going to be important.
Remember, no flash on the ante as head trying gaze is up and available now, but you hold on.
Tippers comes out instead after the Nox plus trade.
Bucada hovers around the mid lane.
What can he find here as he starts up and we rock this?
Yeah, but this is what we're talking about right?
With no Scuttlecrab up, this is Bucata's play to try and answer for the experience deficit that he found himself in.
Doesn't quite get him to level six, but also denies Jyke that level six.
So now Bucata can move back up towards his topside, get the crab, move back in towards his red,
and it's now going to be a battle as actually Jyke looks like he's in position to move up towards his topside and get this Scuttlecrab first.
Which will be six, as you said.
Pretty close here. Pigs are going down. I think Bikata wants to defend topside respawn.
So it really is this push and pull game in jungle right now. His mental mind games.
Red buff is up. Yike, as we said, Paranoia is going to be achieved.
As there it is. Okay, he's going to the in-bait at the same time. Will Bikata get this in time? It's a question.
Bikata has no smolies. Yike does. So this is where he could end up trying to be a little bit sneaky and steal away that red buff.
It's just going to be happy with the Raptors it looks like.
I know it doesn't have any information or rather does but around the walls I'm going to find it's might come in on Raptors.
Red buff for Bucada who just picked up Glacial Prison after he's sold over the wall but Yike is already out of there.
Another steal and a small advantage here for Yike.
Bucada missed the ward though with that sweeper and thought it would be in the back of Redpist but instead was actually in the pit itself.
It doesn't really give too much away we just know that Bucada has left from his top side of the...
Okay, he's left from that red piss, but you can see the pings there from your eye
He doesn't know if he's gone towards Krugs or he's taking a dip from Bruce
So at the moment in case you haven't lost track of Bucada
The Trangays connects, Petrifying Gaze in the Glacial Prison
The turn down, the first blood grounded
Yike now getting his autos down, but he's running out of mana
Flash, Petrifying Gaze, excuse me
It's the permafrost and a double over and you've got a big play for shifters
Bucada, lose the fact
Oh, he's dancing! He's dancing!
This gets an Oxy's Blast down.
I mean, it's been such a long day that permafrost.
That was crazy.
It was perfectly orchestrated, because that's what I was talking about.
These didn't catch the ward, but basically the ping goes down onto Krugs here to be like,
I think Bucata's got to finish out clear of his topside.
So that's why they weren't expecting Bucata to show up.
Immediately, Yike tries to respond,
but there's too much damage already in this mid lane.
And, like, can't get anything right there, even with Buzio showing up, there's no hope that he could save him.
I think Nuke today has had a pretty decent day. I mean, the first game, like, a little bit slothed the bad.
I mean, he had an insane shuffle, that could have been game-breaking if Chippers weren't in a bad spot.
Last game, though.
I think it's also hard to point to so many Chippers that had a good game, you know?
I mean, that is, yeah, it is difficult though, to stop.
Game two, he's a Nibbio, he's crazy good.
And I think he probably looks towards bottom lane,
but I get in a lot of trouble, he's slowed down with a good at last,
going around blank, couple of orders, barrier,
but he gets knocked up and engaged while broke.
Khaleest on the board.
KC relying on their old reliable in that bottom lane with Khaleest.
The engaged, perfect.
They knew that, they felt they'd already used that flash
to try and get the killer to boost you earlier.
But with the ghost, with that on the hunt,
They close the distance, Yehudo is an expert to contact here for shifters.
They don't feel confident.
Yukata did not that ultimate of quite a yes.
What about where Yaikir's paranoia was used before, but it's almost up and available again.
French casters, I think it's Kameda hyping up Kalist.
Because that kill is going to mean so much, especially when Casio Pia, when you just got
many resources mid lane. There's a lot of focus around this lane, it's not just
Flushed by Yahoo, ground above the Maasmaras, Bougada, hovering with the glacial prison
again.
Yahoo, his flush is available but they're consistently bullying him on the side of
shifters.
It's easy to focus on them again, this army is very vulnerable.
Let me talk to them like the opportunity for the Maasmaras to go down and stop the
flush.
But here's some petrifying gaze, it's an eagle stuns, Boussir comes in, he's
got no wild growth, there's again noxious blast going to connect.
Here's Trimmy to support.
Yeah, who is getting down to half-hp as Nuke is going to walk down opportunity for Dragon now arises.
They don't really have full control though. Yeah, who's going to recess?
No real push that they can speak on the bot lane.
It's just going to be much better to listen to them in.
And then you've got an enemy coming back to full HP, but you can't just have it.
That's a danger to these bots.
He's off the line. Paranoia there. Dragon getting low.
Glacier prison thoughts are way better. Paranoia is pop-up. Flash to nothing.
Dragon goes down but shippers down all over the place as Nuke is for the follow-up.
He's running out of mana but not enough to get the Serpent Pyre's Grace running towards Jyke.
A third kill out of the Threat Fangs Connect.
He's got the Reese's, he's got mana now and KC have to be careful.
You're willing to stand by the three kill Cassiopeia running the game.
Shift is 1.5k gold lead and Dagda, they're running again.
Usually I'm here to praise KC for the decision maker but it is not.
Why didn't this?
Wildcrow is going to save his life.
Halo Barra is not up and available, otherwise Paddock would have had a kill.
TP might be a flank, Nuke is coming in yet again, the Rod of Ages Cassiopeia, 1.3k gold lead.
He's got another kill.
But as we look at this, watch the TP from the Annie, it's very deep.
So the item turns off the lights to try and make something happen.
It immediately jumps on towards the topside.
But you know that Trimby is in great position there to keep the fight separated.
Yeah, who comes in and gets a single cue with no stone on us?
And shifters, all four members, can immediately turn on to the play on the bottom side.
Casey, Spliz, indecisive, and shifters are punishing.
Nuke, I mean, another kill. He gets the mana from the kill as well.
He's 20 CS up, and it's a new approach. This game, I thought, okay, maybe they'll just enable Roost
to play to the melee lane with Vucada.
But Vucada consistently playing around mid, now around bottom.
Everything's looking great.
And what was a stomp in game one, it's quickly changed in this series
with shippers fighting new success.
Shippers fighting new confidence here against KC.
Thanks for this, be careful.
Under total.
It's gonna be special.
A bit of powerful.
Follows up.
A glacial prison rider.
And here will be the Frost to connect.
Worcester slams Yachtown.
Zero and three? Man, that's not the yank that started in series A, though.
Yeah, it doesn't even know if that was the yank you wanted, the spell shield there.
I'll take it a slow over the permafrost any day of the week.
But yank is caught, zero, three, you called it, but three kills for Duke.
This... This is not going over KC shifters.
I've gone for comfort and they look fantastic in these last two games.
2.5k gold, quickly running the line, experimental line,
play picked up by Paddock, but again look at that Casio here in the mid lane, 1.6,000 gold.
Nuke, this is the BDS you've got to be used to highlight. It's like this guy is the role player
who can also step on the carries, who really carries the organization. I feel like it's been
a while since I could consistently be like, yo, Nuke is just god to you. I mean in this
series, yeah, sure, I'm highlighting you now in games two and three. It's paranoia.
Could have been used onto Trimby to knock out the Wild Grove and he shows you
Casey aren't out of the game yet.
Yike pulls the trigger and gets his first kill.
If you get something, boss,
and it is nice, the fact that you're able to get that kill onto Trimby,
I don't think it possibly changes the hold that they're in though.
Again, like, you were talking about Nuke just before that clip happened.
This is...
He's comfort picked. This is where he's been able to consistently show him on this Cassiopeia.
And you get the kill, but I actually thought you'd see Bucata, I mean,
to go over towards those void grubs and try and stack more of those objectives in the hands of shifters.
Just to say, he's going to move back towards this bottom side instead.
Tip is using the mid-line, a punish,
kick accepted by 4 for the plating.
That's fine, guys. Let me in a damn thing.
They've shut down the Yahoo!
New Gover steps as I glaze the man.
And a big mistake like that costs him dearly.
Hey, maybe I'll have to change my tune a little bit here because
Two quick picks and certainly KC not looking as rolled over as they were expecting to.
This is a... Jim's not a mistake. Well, that's not for true.
Being like Keesburg, it's not a mistake for Nuka the midway.
The game over so much gold. We go from 1.6 to 800.
Yeah, who's on the board?
And Nuku again looks like he's going to run the mid game.
now comes into question 55 seconds next dragon but the crowd they're turning
into owls again because yeah a lot of money
that's got a megaphone yeah the crowd is there to come alive
get that man a megaphone you don't have your megaphone no I don't I don't
but oh my god that's a giant megaphone you guys can't see it that's a size apart
for my body.
Chifters, play to the bottom side.
I'm going up.
I'm going to pick Priyahu.
Just going to ulti.
I'm going to tell you who steps forward,
but he's reading this.
Back in the way,
he looked at the tower for red tower trade.
Again, I think like Chifters,
happy that they can keep this.
They see trying to re-enter here,
using Lucio.
So they see Bucca,
and they know that they really can't.
They're a lot lost to Priyahu on the bottom side.
So at least you're getting some gold back for Nuke.
So it's not open for KC. I mean, for Shifters,
Nuke just got, he's massively back off that Solotar plating.
Well, Yuck is gonna get heralded and ultimately open up maybe this mid lane.
And maybe one of these sides as well as Yuck picks that up.
Shifters have to be careful now.
Paranoia is back up and available.
And Paddock, he doesn't have the enchant to like Callis does.
So again, always volatile if he steps too far ahead in the light.
I'm going to be taking those shifters in the meantime. Again, sugar button immediately
turned towards it. Again, there's been a nice couple of plays there for KC, but shifters
not fazed. Keeping control, keeping things even. The one role that I think is doing
less well than I was expecting for shifters is that top lane. We're excited to see what
this Olaf could do. They knew that it was into the saiyan. We haven't already
seen Rooster be able to take over. At this stage, I think you're kind of bypassing
the difficult phases, Karna.
The unending despair gonna keep you topped up,
you're clearing up the waves, well, here we go.
Dive on the Nuke, you get into the Mime's Mundergap,
Frank Gage dodged away, the dive is deep,
Pop Blossom is pretty good, but the dive is deep,
it's too deep!
One for one, this eventing smash works out
as the Ragnarok for now.
Gifters a little bit low, that's Trimidair,
it's caught out as Kalees on the rotation,
in the Prada, the one you unturned
in the Karna-Bodgy board, Nuke,
my asthma. Bousyo gets out, mega-basketball, and Pala flashes over. Bousyo clear the last
flush, boomerang, decimating his next door, everyone in, everyone dead. Kaleis bounces
the blade, in case he now has to deal with Rooster flush, strike breaker, he's on Kaleis.
The Sun, no, Rooster, I don't know what he can make. Yeah, Lewis got him in his
Briss and Nato he mess up and Galista take another for the KC 80 carry.
What the hell just happened? KC should not have had a chance in that fight.
The engage was at mediocre events.
But so you get to start a minute.
The save comes through here.
Lukada ends up missing out towards Leic, and this was perfect for Dream B, separate the point.
News Lukada traded jungler for jungler, you're fine.
But then as they tried to turn on to Kalees, I was so lost as the Hellenists went for me.
The shifters couldn't defend, KC would have to take the flash truck to Paduk, the flash forward and the polymorph.
News Leopold is perfectly, and now Leic, on midway, they get the play.
And he's alive, Stunner onto the pick,
we can't have outlander with an Arctic Assault Chieftain's one to fight.
The casing I'm going to give it to them.
Kalista's 2400 gold ahead.
But I want to go back to that one, it was Bucio played perfectly.
Kalista nearly got caught out.
He got the shields, got the polymorph onto Nuke,
then flashes in aggressively to get the AoE slow onto several members.
And sets up beautifully even at the end to keep Kalista alive.
This was insane.
We're getting it set up here on top lane, you can try and get it, but he can't get it out of the dead man with an axe.
Yahoo! On a killing spree, and times have changed as Casey pick up the ball.
Yeah, who's signed steps in the ultimate game?
Because I made my pick up the top!
The virus with no support inbound, he's dead, wall growth in the air.
And Casey has started to realize where shifters are going wrong.
shifters, hard control of the early game, but little bits of pieces are starting to come off the engine.
And it's looking a little chitty-chitty-bang-bang right now. This car is put right along, but I don't know how long the wheels will stay on.
I think right now the doors are falling off. Shifters struggling to stay on board and this game looked promising.
But Tagna that dive bot was too deep obviously and we talk about Khan's
value, he's had it himself, Khan gets out of lane, the value he adds is immense,
the CC layering is simple for KC and now they're moving across the map as a
five-man unit playing around Jyak and his ulti and stuns from Yehuu for the
follow-up as bottom lane turret under threat, Roost is the only one there and
the rest of the shifters are struggling to defend even their own jungle as KC
turn off the pace again on the hunt on the rooster he's going to run on the
carna trying to chase him away the dive is good
Perlfrost, Trimby sets up his Olby, Tankabop great as well but who are they killing?
Another killer by the Coles, the hunt will continue the ricochet will bounce
and shifters will take the F out of their name because they're in deep, deep trouble
rooster's all the way in the back you see Panaka seven to the fight but even he is scared
The turret is standing on a win.
Yanked at the right gaze.
His spell shield is wild against the him as well.
Knocked up.
He flashes away.
KC gets the stun.
It's Yannu.
And Panna is trying to get into the fight.
But Bucana runs into Kanna.
There's a kill.
There's a kill.
But Shifters lose their bottom lane turret
and get an equal trade of blood.
Shifters are trying to find moments in these fights.
But the spell shields are caught up in so many issues.
Kallist against spell shields.
The slow from Panook at the end. Will the see it as they get the replay here?
As the dive happens, KC go underneath the tower.
But the ultimate from Bukhara is Spell Shootable Yike.
And Kalista is able to use the other hunt to get KC out from underneath the tower.
Amidia Rackeroff, there's Spell Shootable Yike. KC by space.
Spell Shootable Kalista is in the fading and Trimby goes in with the ultimate,
which Rimbies had picked up.
At this stage, KC realized, hang on,
we're gonna start to push underneath the tower,
play slow.
We want the tower,
but instead Kata ends up launching himself in.
And Yahoo tries to get the setup on Tanook,
but I think they needed to play this a little bit slower.
They needed to go for the tower,
but then Yike ends up over extended.
Teams have split up because KC
is still trying to deal with Tower
and the enemy.
Kata tries to buy space for Yike.
He ends up then getting caught.
And it's small mistakes that if you come back to Mike,
KC, you'll see the potentials.
The barris, what is the avalanche?
It's fine, Chase Groucher going to launch it on Yike.
Undertow, the ball on Rooster, smacks him.
Bad, bad jungler.
The axes were in the ground.
Rooster helps that I get one.
And the chase begins as KC go on the defensive.
We shift this around Barron.
Barron should be gone.
KC have no jungler.
Big win.
I'm kind of going to step forward.
Calist needs Buccio to help him win this fight.
He's got to break his shade, he's got to pit all he needs to start launching away, pop off some dreamy,
find him while it goes flushed away from Bucardo Dolby.
Meanwhile, Bucardo's now isolated from Bucardo Tank, you know?
As you said, Padaq is in the third decimating smash.
Bucardo won't die!
Bucardo refuses to elaborate!
It is Buccio left alone because Calist is dead now.
But Bucardo won't die.
Karna refuses, he needs you to hit the billy, if you fly slow the decimating smash, almost
kills Rooster, Buzio gets the slow, yikes back on the way in, the Baron is stopped,
Noxious blasts, my asthma, the flail, Buzio flashes, Glitter lands, the slow, Bucana
needs to arc me a sold-out, the shadows out, the decimating smash, Bucana is down,
like paranoia going in the right north,
Buccio is dead next.
And Tocquex, strike break is slow,
where's the hold this ground,
but it won't be enough to heal through.
This game has gone from zero to 1,001.
The Lulu carry in this game is insane though.
Buccio is playing this magnificently.
As this engage comes through,
he immediately gets the Mikhail's crucible onto Kalis.
So the turnaround starts to come through.
Kalista ends up getting clipped by the axe, Trimby sees this as a chance, Spell Shield,
Mikael's, Kalista gets a flash away, Buccio then ends up protecting Kalista for so much
of this, using what he can to get his GD carry into position.
Kalista ends up trying to finish off Trimby which then gives Mikael the chance to finish
him down.
But then, this is where it starts to go a bit wonky, Kana ends up going away.
But Buccio baits this in, playing right on the range of the Noxious Glass, means
he doesn't get the excess damage, doesn't get into a position where he's actually
at a problem with dying, and then gets the kill onto the only jungle. If that
human hit from the Aik, he survives this as well. Buccio is playing on a knife's
edge to keep Casey in this fight. Thank the Lords of League of Legends. We do casting
in pairs, because I couldn't explain that if he gave me like five red bulls
and about five minutes man I I don't know what's happening 24 kills 24 minutes
25,000 gold lead for KC but somehow nuke is the nuke nuke is 2,500 gold
ahead but it's the Khaleesi the AD carry it is Ragnarok Paranoia all used Khaleesi steps up to the plate as teleport
he's gonna bring nuke in he's got a petrified gaze but no flash available
available. Dragons up in a minute 30 to take stock in games for shifters. They do have
sole point upcoming if they can pick it up. But KC backing off maybe thinking about Baron.
It's Calista captain for KC versus the long standing player of Nuke for shifters. This
is what this game has come down to and it's can Calista keep the uptime that he needs
or can Nuke find these big plays because at this stage either one of them can take
over a fight and there's just so much support for Calista thanks to the Buzio and also
Yeah, who've been able to set up these players. Yeah, and we're waiting for that to come through a lot of that option for shifters
Is on trimby and trimby's ultimate have been bloody fantastic this game
Oh, I agree, but it's your follow-up is just not quite there
I guess he's front line is just stronger kind of running in it must be because quarter past 11 X players are getting a bit silly
But it's Casey ready to get down to feed the street tangled basket connect on the corner
And he's bound not just past my asthma.
He can't escape, conquer up, new chains of corruption,
dodge, but unsupply on-sort.
But Kana now has no engage tool.
Tata gets a range of shikes, now found out.
He gets over the wall, jumps into action.
But shifters are the ones who are healthier.
Kana is the one who has to teleport in.
Yeah, who hasn't spotted though?
He's playing on the flank.
Knows thanks to that sweeper that he has him.
So trying to see if you can find this flank opportunity
to list the focus though,
needs to be very careful as Bukata, Padok,
and Nuke are all waiting for him.
Hanna's back with no ulti just yet, yigun and angle as well, shifters found out
Paddock isolated, paddock big mistake, what the duck is that guy doing?
Gathering, tippers, Trimby, trade ulti, but the tippers and pick up the flush down
The ulti, pick up the killis, killis!
He's dead, he's dead, you get the live, Serpent Bines Grace, Petrifying Gaze, the fangs, the fear
He dies as well, tagged up, he said, look at Gilles, look at you, but they're both dead.
They're dying to this Olaf, they're dying to the support tools, and KC and shifters have taken the gloves off,
and they are throwing haymakers in every single fight.
We see it as this one kicks off, Yike immediately catches Paduk, he tries to stay in behind Bukata,
but Bukata abandons him, and he has nowhere to go with no flash, as yet who goes into this play,
It's the Ragnarok and again, Trimby!
The focus on Trimby with these engages
because it enables Olaf to chase down Khalid
who gets cost in the end, has nowhere to run
and with both of them down, Nuke gets taken out as well.
These fights teeter on a knife's edge
and there's so little that is making the difference
but we're going back to life as we go.
We are fighting again.
Thermal cross hit.
Khan of the target.
Front line. Tango box is good.
Decimating smash.
Alright, Panak's still got his ulti available, I thought he burned it but look, on your screen
bottom you see all 10 ultis up, dancing around Chemtex ult, it's a Chemtex ult with an Olaf.
It's 4 items though, coming through for KC on the Colosseum and the last step down,
new fuss into his team, pop loss him again, Trimmy zoned out, Ragnarok in the backline,
chases down, yeah he's dead.
Shift is a winning for look at the health bar, Trimmy dies in response as well with
a dying breath of Colosseum, Shift is zoning out, 4v4.
All balls on the floor right now, shifters low health bars that I cannot state enough that might secure Dragon for KC.
It will secure Shifter's scene, we don't care it's a second Dragon.
We'll give it over, Bucata stood at the ultimate, we couldn't find the targets to get onto us.
I would knew getting caught out in Isolated and in fact, that could have gone significantly worse for Shifters.
Okay, I'm gonna take a break.
Barren's up. Barren's up. I see a lot of Ulti's burned, but I see an unsubble onslaught that's available for Kana soon who's been making waves in fights.
Shift has to approach, casing in River First, Dagda, break it down before I break.
So you've got four items now for Talist. He's incredibly strong. Nuke has that Seeker's Armguard available, which is going to help him try and survive a little bit more of Yehu.
If he can get that Seekers Armgrid off before the key abilities from this Annie go off, he's in a great spot.
Good news for Shifters though, no flash on Annie, makes her significantly less threatening in these fights.
And you're looking at Trimby who's been fantastic, honestly, in keeping these fights spread out, trying to buy space for the backline.
Paduck, the three Atoms, could be good.
Karthus, he stayed, testimony smash on Leondon 1, but Karthus ends up the back tower, go, Karthus dead!
He thought he could stand and hold his ground, but he was wrong.
There was no world he's going to be able to do that.
The percentage max HP damage from this AP virus is going to shred through Kana.
And now, Trimby, they don't see him.
Cheeky. He's got proto-belt. He's got flash. No, he doesn't.
He's got heal, though. An angle for Trimby.
He comes in as a minion, but Baron Paranoia turns the lights off.
Five versus four. Trimby not found out.
Pam and Frost send in, rather glacial prison.
Yike wants to come in for the steal.
No, it's a kill by Shifters in the end.
Yike gets tangled up, he's going to go into GA.
And while Groza's just been used, Tipper's on the side,
we'll get a trimming.
Pentafine guys almost gets Calist.
He gets cleansed out, but Shifters,
ha-barn, but how much Calist?
Calist jumps in, Golden is here,
but he's going to die, he's going to die.
Calist went melee.
And that's a silver.
You can be proud of this KC.
Newt tried to do a Calist and there was not enough of the tank.
Calist fought him down and just like that with no top laner to speak on.
It's not over.
He's here looking for the base.
Baron on one, Bucard needs to get the minibus up and sit away clear.
Might be too much.
A seven and a half hour night, or six and a half, it doesn't matter.
It's been so long as the inhibitor mid is going to fall,
But they can't end yet. Casey can't overstep.
31 minutes in. 40. How many? 39 kills.
And we go on.
Shut the...
The fight's here. Trimby couldn't get in.
Jyke ends up going down, but it's Kalist versus Nuke that defines this.
As Jyke goes in, can't get the steal.
Kalist pops on the hook. The polymorph onto Nuke is what enables Kalist to get a few autos.
Nuke flashes in, thinking that he can take the fight,
but Kalista again, having Bousos backpocket with the Mikaeles,
keeps him topped up, the blast cone to get into position,
and Yehu flashing forward, denies all follow-up.
This was a game that came down to that duel,
and again, it's just the pocket Lulu makes the difference.
Yehu.
Bousos shield as well.
KC are in control.
It's two dragons apiece, no objective up for a minute 30.
But look at the bottom side of the map.
Immediately, switch shifters are just going to try and move down.
It's a negative 2,000 gold for that Rebel bar and power play.
They want to get something back, but we're just trading on the map.
It's top laners going back to defend,
but one team has a bar and then the other just not.
That's right, Picard is channeling it in. 45 seconds of it as well.
KC are now committing to their backs,
but this is going to be an inhibitor at the very least.
Minions getting the push, potential TV player would save, but that's only a scrying ward.
There's no angle here, shifters open up, bottom inhibitor, and now the pigs are going down
to try and set up vision around this next dragon and control their waves.
Minut until that one is open available, KC taking out, onto the left, hoping to maybe
catch shifters in a reset here, but Kalis goes very far forward, he was not on support.
I don't think he's been spotted with very few wards for shifters on the map,
Apart from that potside jungle.
No, he does not have GA.
No GA for Jyke either.
Guardian Angel on the other side, I'm looking.
I see none, but I see it pulls on you
for Nuke speaking of items.
There's 30 seconds to that drake.
That's because Kalista already has that Guardian Angel
on the shoulder on Bucille.
Again, just keeping him topped up.
That is the focus.
Yeah, who has the shields.
Everything revolves around him, but on the opposite side,
I mean, Rooster, three items there,
working up towards that warden's man as well.
He's incredibly strong.
If he can get access to Kalista and chase him down,
Oh, he's going up.
He's passed anything to be sniffed on either.
You can see that he's sent to change feet out of his feet with two.
Marissa looking to defend, it's Trinity on his side.
It is going to be Dragon for shifters, but losing inhibitor, it's fine.
Will they lose inhibitor with it?
Cassiopeia will shred down this dragon, so no contest.
No contest, Dragon down.
The shifters, I would say, a bit of a win here.
They're on solid point, the game is still tense, but now nothing happens for another two minutes.
That's not a very long time, it's enough to push out these waves, recess, and get back out and throw them up.
So the question I have for you then is, if it's not a long time, what items make the difference here?
Are there any breaking points?
I don't think it is anymore, huh? I think if Foody comes down to, can you kill these two mega-cars?
for shifters at least they've got a few more options here again like rooster
very strong paddock now coming online massive as well you need to get access
to Calist you can get access to your wing condition for KC it's about trying to
keep this AD carry alive everything revolves around the silver silver
versus Cassiopeia. Nuke versus Kalist. Kalist has a BF sword and that seven item
Sivir is almost complete. Nuke, Blighting Jewel. Picard has found out look at Kalist's
damage. That was on a take with three and a half
items. Might be supportive. Still a take. As Baron's up in a minute,
Casey holds the map and looking at how they can set up that Inatar in the
bottom lane, we finally have a reprieve sitting away.
Yeah, Casey are waiting because they're trying to get more gold into them and it looks like
so we can reset and get an item.
I'm not entirely sure but he wants to try and finish off, but do you have any seams
like?
We're trying to funnel a little bit of resources into the scion.
There's 40 seconds now until they're faring.
Just one mistake could be everything here.
Randall is picked up by Russo when you're talking about him running down Calis, that's
an important item.
The crit negation, the slow strike breaker and randomance, that's the sticking power.
But that Ola may change the game with, can shifters get their first series win against
the top dogs of the league.
In case you're going to find the first series loss, all they can do is get this across
the finish line.
15 seconds of baron, maybe here we find our power and Ola onto the Ola.
He's got Ragnarok, he's going to CC immune and run.
But Calesta has everyone together.
And in every, they were not going to lose their final game against Schiffers, no!
They will stay undefeated in the LEC.
As the moving to 11.30, the longest day,
I feel like we have on record in the LEC.
Casey will remain victorious.
Are they not here to entertain in their house,
In their house, in front of their crowd, they refuse to bow down.
Shifters will fall and you can vote for your player in the series on LEC, on X, Yike, Yahoo, or Calist.
This series belongs to all of them.
Shout out to the Shifters for putting on a shot, but Casey in the end.
I mean that bot lane is too strong, and the choke works for them as well.
Shifters just took a slow, no small mistake. One step too far, and Casey bounced.
and against a team like KC you cannot make those mistakes they are too clean and closing it off as you can see on stage
Laura setting up for an interview with Yahoo and Yike
That was one hell of a serious and one hell of a day of the year, Laura
They did it! It was a long-awaited long-awaited game, but they did it.
What's funny is that I was talking to Yaya and she said,
you didn't have a lot of challenges until now.
And I feel like paradoxically, it's shifters who gave them the most feel.
So I'd like to know what happened here.
I remember yesterday we were at the desk, and I was telling you, you haven't been so challenged so far.
It feels like Shifterz is the team that challenged you the most, maybe, and pushed you the most.
What happened today?
Yeah, I don't know. I feel like we had one of the best first games ever, and then Game 2,
it was also going pretty fine, but we did some small mistakes, and I kind of just exploded,
and then we had to go Game 3, and Game 3 was also PS4, but likely we won, right? So that's good.
I want to know what the...
What is the impact of playing in front of your crowd, in front of your audience,
the pressure that there is maybe, especially in clutch moments like this?
Yeah, there's a lot of good pressure, right?
I get always so hyped, I feel like the boost in me when I play in front of the crowd,
so I love it so much, and yeah, I feel like I can always play good when I play in front of the crowd.
I like hearing that, but is there anything special that you want to tell them right now?
I mean, I love you guys, I love your support, I love everything, go Casey. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Shayk, thank you very much.
Yehul, it is the first time...
All right. One moment.
Feels good.
A lot of support for Yag, obviously, but don't forget that Lou de la Midlène is the first time he's experienced the blue one and the broken arena like that in Paris.
I imagine he's really not used to it.
I think it's the very first time you've experienced KC Arena like this. How is it?
It is so good, I like it! Yeah!
Maybe some words for the fans.
Can you say something to the fans?
Can you speak English?
English?
English.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
Okay, okay, hey guys, I love you guys and today I won and then I'm so happy and you guys happy too, right?
I love you guys, I love you guys, thank you, thank you so much, yeah.
Thank you so much, I'm going to go back, thank you so much, I one more time for your team, please, please, please, please, please!
What an atmosphere it is in here, I think.
There was some moments in that last game, it sounded like some of the casing fans had begun to fall asleep,
but they are very much awake now as we see them in loud voice for Yike and for you.
I can't help but smile from ear to ear after that Yehu interview.
That was so endearing and it's a long scene taking the crowd,
and the crowd is so loud here today.
There's so much passion in these roles.
Yeah, I mean, the Casey faithful have very strong support
and there were definitely moments of doubt,
credit to shifters for pushing Casey in a series
that we did not expect to go the way that it did.
But Casey did end up coming out on top and I mean,
you hear the crowd roar,
the support that they were able to provide.
We heard from Yikes saying how much it matters to him
and like you could really feel it in the arena today.
And everyone on Casey is stepping up
course of course of the series as well. It feels like a long time ago but remember
Yike was absolutely dominating in game one, absolutely popping off. Then we see
Lucio step up, Kallis step up, Karna I think was the most muted. In the case he
plays this today, this game, this series. Kallis was our key player of the series.
I think a lot of it, perhaps off the bat in the back, he played Sigmund Rithi,
he actually got back for a drill. Potentially. Yeah. I think that he did have a very important
end game free the argument the most important because it wasn't in the
series but I do think that it's worth highlighting how good that mid-jumble
combo was throughout the series as well especially how impactful they were in
the first series in the first game rather and how well they still played in
games you regardless of the outcome so incredible performance across the ball
but just an incredible series across the board delivering on a level that we
did not expect and that is the impact of playing in a arena like this
sometimes players level up to the occasion. Have we got to see that from Schifters today?
I mean it's absolutely wonderful to see it here as I visit. Also got to pay attention to the fact
that this was a super close series. The impact of the sixth man of the arena was having might have
been the tipping point. The fact that every single time Schifters found a good fight it was
left silent. But every single player, Casey made it work out. The crowd was roaring. It was
So loud! You bet that the shifters can hear it through their headsets, and you bet it's gonna have a toll.
And importantly for shifters and for SK, by winning that game too, shifters have kept both themselves and SK in the playoffs.
Even though they lost the series, they can still qualify for playoffs.
They do, though, need to start winning soon.
Shifters need to win all three of their remaining games.
SK, with one remaining game, need to win that.
So we'll see how things end up. Obviously if shifters lose tomorrow,
they will then be able to have that playoff contention.
And the biggest reason is because SK, Heretics and shifters
only have so many series left to play.
Shifters playing one of them tomorrow,
but the gap they need to close is the one between them, G2, Koi and GX.
So even if they're able to find that win tomorrow,
it is not an easy journey,
and they are somewhat dependent on the results of teams around them.
They really are. And obviously playing up against Navi as well is going to be a challenge.
Navi looked pretty solid across the board, but that's it from us here tonight.
It has been an amazing day of League of Legends. We'll be back tomorrow.
If you want more of it, though, make sure to check out the LCS.
It's going on right now.
Betty, anything about the LCS you want to say?
Chat's usually wrong. Don't trust this opinion.
Very true. We'll be back tomorrow for my final day here in Les Arenes.
See you then.
I can hit now. I can hit now. Look at me. I'm winning.
Hey, hey, hey. I'm coming and coming.
We're going in. We're going in. We're going in.
I'm going forward, by the way. Don't jump.
What's up, guys?
Holy ****, what the hell?
Uh, uh, it's gonna be a tough game.
Push up, push up.
I'm gonna jump, I'm gonna jump.
Oh, and it's hit.
Look on the center, look on the center.
Yeah, we'll be good.
Oh, we're gonna fall from the bottom.
We're gonna catch it.
Okay, guys.
Now we're gonna see on the stage.
I think we should have a catch here.
Yeah.
We're gonna go a bit clean.
Okay.
In fact, Ambrose won't just be dead.
It's not my major, relax, let's see the end.
Mine is gone away, mine is real-ish.
Ambrose just says, cannot be brought.
I'm gonna listen to my own record.
Ambrose just says, cannot be brought.

I'm gonna listen to my own record.

Oh.
I was going to say, route 3 level 6 is the problem.
He's probably going to half-match, beating it out even lower.
Flash it away, no!
Carter's dead!
This is Brickada, ulti.
It connects.
I wanted to save, but yeah, it was a sugarcane!
The Cavalry!
He landed!
I have W for you, Lucian.
Lucian. Killbook on Killbook.
Killbook on Killbook.
You got the plate.
No, no, no, no.
You got the enemy side.
Nice. Good.
Okay.
Stop them.
He's shooting.

We have the Borsum on.
No flash.
He's coming here.
Oh
