I
I think I'm making dance
One, two, three, come on, make it dance
Keep going, come on, make it dance
I
For me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend to live alone
Cause we're not going, everything goes on
You were staring at the window
And I said I wanted to take you to the sea
When I'm better, I will do everything
I've got to stop making promises I can't keep
But if I was gone tomorrow, won't the waves crash on?
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
So now I'll be on the cast
But you won't have to cry
I'm still to the grave
But I'm by your side
I said, don't try to make yourself a human
But I know, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story
And you've been so hard
So let's bring that little one
And 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 the city home
When you need me in the daylight
Like we did before
Then I've felt you on my shoulder
And you weren't suffering anymore
You said I'm sorry that you were me
But don't apologize
I told you to forget me
But you stayed by my side when I stuck
Don't try to make yourself mine
Darling, don't love me
I'm just a star in this middle
So let's pretend that we're all
We're not sure where we're going
I don't know where we're going
Anything goes on
I wish I could meet you again
I
I wish that you'd come back to me
It was every weekend
Bringing me nothing but joy
I need to get my life on track
I want the LEC back so I can stand in the chair
I want the LEC back in my life
Back to the battle's not easy, but you're feeling alright
I walk the LEC back tonight
Recharged, all in for spring split
Euphoria, I can start to feel it
It's time, at least he's gonna give me what I want
I wanna watch BGF and ready check to
I wanna vote on Twitter and talk about who threw
I wanna flame on Reddit and tweet how I always knew
I want the LEC back so I can stand in the chair
I want the LEC back in my mind
Rally battles made, made, feeling alright
I want the LEC back tonight
Now, here comes the new year, new teams and players too
Now, here comes the new year, lost some but that's alright
Now, here comes the new year, we're getting ready for alumni
I want the L.E.C. back so I can stand in the chair
I want the L.E.C. back in my life
Rap that was very very feeling alright
I want the L.E.C. back tonight
I want the L.E.C. back
I want the L.E.C. back in my life
I want the L.E.C. back
I don't want to get to see you back tonight
Truths are meant to be buried by the proudest words
Money on my head, cause we're all on our streets
Take it or you'll let it go from down this road
Oh, let it get inside, ain't no debate
For truths are meant to be buried by the proudest words
Damn, damn, damn
Didn't do recomba, they wanna lead them, I got them straight and tip them off axis
I was in the middle to get a beast, meanwhile they was crying madly deep
I'll be with enough practice
No cloud or digital captions
Worlds in madness
I'm a gonna manifest greatness
I don't need reasons
I don't need money, power and slackness
I don't want to do it like down, like down, like down
That message drawn on the alley
This big man said it ain't landing
Never gonna profit off blackness
I never got a dollar off sadness
But I've been sunk so I don't be sad
The reason to be is the hate that comes soon
Feel it when you're down on my shoulders
I
I've been given this heart and body and soul and light and organs knocked to my fingers
blood. Now I see skeleton keys and door kicks treading with means and caution. Man I had
bellies to feed from mourning. They start shelling me dreams from walking. Yeah I was a
crofter woman I was scared. Look at the sun as the name was a dare. Now I'm a
culler man they wouldn't dare. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I've been given this heart and
Double the knocker this game is a band and loaded the dice I came in for gas
Feeling it so wild party I put up a gun on
Huh?
Honey, cold
When it never gave you hope
Bring it left you in the cold
And it's wet and heavy on your soot
Keep it on and start to know
Keep away, I have to go
Get it together, whatever the weather
And carry that tribulation to the front
Baby, it's the end
That's the time to see it soon
Feel it, when I'm gone
I'm so out of breath
Choose a method, break, fight, crowd, and spooge
I need time, cause I'm long, yes
Please, take it, let me live, won't you go, yes
Spooge, I'm gonna break, get it straight, stand on the break
Get it, please, take it, cause choose a method, break, fight, crowd, and spooge
Get it, get it
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Facles from beyond the past.
The seed is slow.
The spirit looms, mate, guide.
Before I again would wander far.
And shape them up to meet again on the horizon
The wind is calling your name
A whisper of the souls who never leave you
Collect your silver teeth
Afraid they disappear to my heart
And be too good-bye
The light it shows
The darkened eyes
Our feathers speak
The restless mind
Not think too far
We'll meet again
Can't you hear?
Can't you hear the call?

Bonjour, bienvenue, salut, à lo, hau.
With comment, welcome to the final day of the LEC Road Trip here in Evry.
I'm Medec, I'm joined by Law.
Thank you so much for letting me take you on the hosting role for the day
by Dagda by Finn as we are kicking off day three of the action here. But before we get
into today's action, let's have a look at some of the news and headlines from the last
couple of days. Importantly, the standings. Casey, very close to having qualified for that
playoff position. Well, I mean, one win away, they could do it here today. And honestly,
like five and no, they are a team that clearly deserves to be in there. They have looked
absolutely spectacular. Pushed a little bit yesterday, but clearly one of the top teams.
Same goes for Navi. I think if Navi wins one game today, they're also locked for their third position.
So really what to squeeze the most out of this game and make sure you get that spot.
Yeah, importantly for Navi as well. If Fnatic lose, Navi are also locked in.
But on the other side of the table, you've got teams like S.K. and Shifterz who are really struggling a lot.
Listen, they're struggling. It's not even entirely in their own hands now,
but I want to say that I did not expect KC to struggle more against Shifterz than they did against any other team.
So a glimpse of hope for shift first maybe heading into today. It's a small
It's a glimpse of hope. Yeah, we'll take it when you're in the bottom of a well
And there's a small like penny size with a light at the top when you're reaching for yeah
They do have to two oh every single series
They have left before the split and they need other teams to lose
Anything other than a two open shifters today eliminates both both SK and
Shifters and SK also need shifters to win every game they're playing and they also have to win every game
they're playing. We'll see if they can do it. Easy. Easy. I don't know what you're worried about.
I'm sure there's no other good teams in the LEC. It's true. Perhaps they can take the
every magic in to the next couple of weeks. For today though, we'll kick off with Navi versus
Schipter's a game that is going to be a lot closer I think than most of us expected.
I mean exactly because yesterday Schipter's against KC just showed up and just played
their own style and they actually looked pretty damn decent at times. And then on the other
You have Navi who has looked shaky all weekend with a 0-2 loss against KC and then yesterday against Fnatic was
Was a ride for sure
It's interesting because I run into the Navi boys in the makeup from earlier and I was like hey guys
How are you feeling about today? It's like well, we didn't have been yesterday
We feel great, but then we've some shifters and whatever they did against KC
So right now we're shaking actually they were talking about that I really have Diego draft
That's something that they could have not anticipated. So right now. Let's see what they throw at them
I'm hoping shifters play their own game again today. I love seeing the Diego and the Irelia after that, of course
We have KC versus fanatic which is going to be a tumultuous affair. You have to feel but before we get into that
We're having an incredible amount of fun of playing some of the Lollix mini games across this weekend
If you haven't followed trades and site you can go on over there to Lollix dot gg to have a look at some of the
Mini games the one that we're gonna be playing that we've seen the LEC
The player playing on the leaderboard is connections between players. Mickey, unsurprisingly, at the top of that leaderboard.
He's here for ages.
Yeah, I was going to say, I think skill in this game scales with age.
Yeah.
To be fair, like the older you are, the more you're seeing the weird ass teams, then they're gone for you.
What'd you say?
They're gone for you. Where are you in this list now?
I mean, I'm not a pro player right now.
Are you kidding?
I'm playing for a bit, but you're not in the top.
But I'm not a pro and I'm not an LSE player right now.
I'm not in that leaderboard.
I've decided to have you on my team is we're going to play a little bit of a to the
choice on the desk is teammate chain specifically only for LEC and ERL players.
It's a special minigame. They've actually released for this weekend, which is really cool.
So it's specifically between LEC and ERL players.
You have 15 second timers and there is going to be a slight delay from us saying the
names to a game put in because our lovely producers at home are putting them in for us.
So we're going to kick things off. We need to decide who goes first.
first. I thought French as you guys, because Laura's the French renexion and we'll be the
beginner next year, okay? So I'm going to flip it and we'll see which side it lands on.
Alright, so we get to go first. Not rigged, not rigged. Here we go. Okay. First name,
where are we going? Take me on a joyride. Rahel, should we say relevant? Yeah, relevant
solid we'll go relevant I want to make it difficult great I don't even
KLAJ
KLAJ
What does it work?
Trashy, wasn't it? Is he still in a trashy?
Is he trashy?
Did he change name?
Yeah, he changed Q trashy for like 5 seconds
Did it go in?
You want trashy?
Trashy doesn't work
It's a win for the Swede
The Mystic Fly-Flying
I'm so sad
They didn't even pay to get her
and they're gonna even play together.
Nail for the dream team.
Okay, you guys get go first this time, okay?
Alright, here we go.
We're gonna start off in five, four, three, two, one.
And the name's gonna come up in a second.
There we go.
Okay.
Well, yeah.
Anyways.
Yeah, please.
We gotta go out of France, sir,
so I'm thinking we take a yacht, maybe.
I hope they're going to an SL.
Yeah, we take a yacht.
We take a yacht.
And we take an LFL.
Yeah, the problem is we're going into LFL.
Yeah, we go yacht.
Okay, we go yacht.
We're gonna go LFL take it take it into the LFL. Who was he playing with?
Exekik?
Yeah, okay, DOS. DOS is good. DOS is solid.
Yeah, SK was... oh, can we do Relevant again because it's...
Markoon here. Markoon is solid. I like Markoon. Markoon, Markoon.
is Mickey. Yeah, I guess. Yes. Okay. Okay. Well, let's go. What if we go cold?
We actually know the name actually. Uh, I did know his name. There's tons of clothes for
cold. It was place which was a Kobe. Nice. Yeah. And we can't go to assembly, right? So I'm
thinking we go for one, one, three. Oh, you love one more. Then I'm going to give you
Oh, that was a mistake.
I'm sorry. It's fine.
Give me EULCS.
Patrick's.
Patrick's.
Two X's.
Wait a sec.
You're getting into it.
You're getting into it.
I don't know what they are doing as well.
No, we were told it was LEC and EULCS.
And the text that showed up was he never played in LEC, EULCS.
He played in Super League at first division in Mob of the Slammers.
I remember casting him in the E.M. Master's Dice on the screen.
The game is always right.
One one, one one. We get to go first.
We get to go first.
Only LSE.
Only LSE.
E.U.L.C.S. at C.S.
Yeah.
Here we go. First name. Let's see what we get this time.
This game is incredibly hard to play against Froze by the way, if you are just playing it.
Or me.
Okay, where are we going? Nemesis.
Oh, okay.
I'll see, I'll see.
Whippo?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Whippo?
Oh, they didn't base together.
Shit, yes.
Oh, no.
I was still never seen.
Belly, belly, belly, belly.
All right, reckless.
Sorry.
Reckless.
Reckless, yeah.
Oh, that's easy.
Who do we want to hit?
Hit it?
Yeah.
Hit it?
Yeah.
Spell it correctly.
Spell it less in the end.
Spell it less in the end.
Okay, okay.
I'm thinking we've got the old Unicorns or whatever,
and go X-Side, like.
Oh, X-Side, X-Side, yes.
And I'm gonna say Xerze
Xerze, sure
Xerze, okay
You don't get it, okay
I'm thinking we go White Knight
White Knight, White Knight
White Knight
White Knight, Karzy
Ooh
White Knight, 108 maybe
108 maybe, yeah
108
No
Oh, did you do it again?
Did you do it again?
Oh boy
Why did you win Xerze, no?
Wasn't it a Stardust roster?
I was so sure they played together
Oh, they did
It was, it was such a tough game
Yeah! It was Mr. Sajid's off land!
Oh, it's so doomed. Oh, it's so doomed.
Lord, can you go to the video?
I can't do it. I'm in disgrace right now.
We're going to go to a video.
Laura was in it, and she did some stuff.
Easy.
How is it dancing with them, how is it being with this atmosphere before the game?
Tell me about dancing with them and enjoying the atmosphere like this.
It's amazing, I've never had like an experience like this before, this is crazy, I love it.
Do you think the first time you actually get to do the chance with them?
Yeah, I don't know, last year I think we did as well, but this is the time when we were together with the night, we were all together in a group, and that was amazing.
What's your favorite celebration they have?
I don't know, they're all so good. I like it when we all jump around the other side.
How often do you create new chance?
Not that often. We try to have it all the same one.
And when we think it's important to have a new one, we do have a new one again.
We're excited about today. Thank you so much. Merci beaucoup.
The community here has been absolutely outstanding across the entirety of the weekend.
There are times when we're just walking in here and we hear the chance five minutes before
we get to the arena.
It's insane.
It's those are the flares and everything going off the music.
It's mad.
You love it.
Like the passion is insane.
I mean, just the atmosphere is so electric.
It's crazy to feel the passion for all these fans.
Like they're so loud for every single play that happens.
Yeah, it really is.
And even for the teams when KC are playing, they're still cheers.
coming out it's major coming in today like the entire arena of all the grass
outside the arena which is screaming major we just made it away from shifters
versus Navi though and yesterday we got to have a little chat with Navi's head
coach the rock it's funny story because we have this tendency to just get
bored and let's do it out of five we all died we lose volume to give CG so
yeah we are trying to focus on our discipline I would say yeah we are
and as you can imagine this is like the first big event with much crowd actually and that loud crowd
so I think everyone is a bit more excited, less stressed I would say
so yeah, we got bored, I agree
I appreciate your honesty, we are trying to just put more busy, not to be too busy
How do you solve that though? Because people are gonna get bored
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes you need to be mad, right?
Like, I was mad today, after the game 1 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 big tone of the 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 mad, like, usually, why he's acting like this right now.
So, this is one way, and the other way, of course, is from screens, and there are my, like, talks and communication around the topic, so, yeah.
Yeah, of course, great to hear from the Rock has some history here with KCB as well.
There is this kind of almost like hot to me as a coach where you have to be supported
and you have to be helping your players find their potential.
Yeah. But sometimes you also have to put your foot down a little bit.
It's exactly. It's the, oh, you can do this, you know,
and I think that kind of a body's it right there, right?
It's like, look, guys, I can only do so much for you.
How can I enable that?
But for the love of God, cop on, like get it together.
And that was kind of the story that we saw a little bit for Navi.
It was kind of silly mistakes like getting caught out in side lanes that really cost them a lot.
Now they still got the win, but it's not what you expect from them.
I mean, to me what I love about Navi is that they embody every single aspect of a new rookie team.
We see the nerves, we see the talent, we see them stepping on stage and feeling a little bit shaky.
You feel all these new experiences floating through them, and you see them develop in real time.
You see them trying to problem solve whatever problems they encounter, and now it is currently in the justice.
They're shifters on the other hand, we saw a real resurgence from them.
We saw them going back to their roots, we heard from Trippie as well saying they want to play with honor.
Even if the game is lost, they want to be able to push themselves to achieve greatness.
Do we think it's possible? Do we think shifters can actually make the miracle world?
I mean, against Na'Vi, I would definitely say so.
I mean, at least today, if we just look at the game that is ahead of us,
I think shifters has a real chance to beat Na'Vi, because Na'Vi is good in the early game.
Shifters is good in the early game. I expect the team to come out there to win the game
because both of them look really shaky after 25 minutes.
After yesterday, I have full faith in Shifters. It felt like they were revitalized.
Rooster looks incredible on the Irelia. Bucardo Viego looked and said it felt like they've finally taken off the weight of pressure
and all of that, just the inability to make the plays they wanted to.
And I feel like coming into this now for Shifters, this feels like their moment to then show what they're capable of
and they have to do that. They have to show it. They have to two open here and now.
Not only for themselves, but also for SPA.
If we see shippers drop a single game, they are out of playoff's contention
and you're waiting all the way to July.
It is a long, long time. Let's see if they can do it today
as they take the stage with Mavi.
I don't know.
Oh, Cali! Cali, you're dead!
Today is the day of peace!
Today is the day of peace!
Last day but certainly the most hot!
Daniel L. C. Realtre is not broken!
Daniel Zahran!
The day is coming, but surely the most hot!
Welcome to LEC, your tripple is broken!
Welcome to the arena!
Take advantage of every second, take advantage of every minute, take advantage of every game!
Playing at LEC, it's an honour to be part of the 50 best players in Europe and far from being easy.
An extreme competition, a constant mental pressure, an intense training.
For each of them it was a vocation, but you have to put in the hours, the efforts, the work,
not to have fear of failure, never give up to hope for success.
In an environment that has a constant evolution
where the certainty turns into doubt in an instant
but precisely the reward is to play games
in an environment like this one
they are ready and you are you ready?
Well that's a lot
before launching hostilities
We did it every day, and of course, he was going to win today as well.
There is someone who wants to say a little bit about the stage in front of you.
We have a few right now.
Maïsé and Ion, K...
Maïsé and Ion, K...
Maïsé and Ion, K...
Maïsé and Ion, K...
But...
Oh fuck! It's the last day!
It's the last day! I'm going to enjoy it a little bit.
After all this energy, all this energy, all this energy of the season, it's at the studio!
It's true, it's true.
Just to tell you something, good morning to all of you.
Thank you for coming, like every weekend, all those who moved, thank you, it's been a lot of good at the club
and at eSports in general.
Little... I'm going to give you a little word. Stay well at the end.
I have a good indication, stay well until the end, in any case, we play the game.
And at the end, you will have a small surprise.
Until the clinch.
That's what you need.
Ok, ok, ok, ok.
Until the end.
Very good.
What are you preparing?
Ok, I'm holding you.
In any case, I hope you still have the voice.
I don't have much left.
Same.
I have planned to give everything today.
Same.
And then we will rest.
Same.
On you to light the fire today.
And that's it!
Thank you so much!
And we meet again on the cast.
We have good matches today.
We have very good matches.
Thank you, but you will have to wait up there
to be able to start these two games,
two BOs that you will see today,
with of course four teams that you have already had the opportunity to see on this stage.
We will still make them enter,
to put their eyes full on them!
Are you ready for the first meeting?
It's a team that continues to impress even if they showed mistakes during the weekend.
A team of rookies who have no habit of playing in the same atmosphere.
But normally, they had the time to acclimatize.
You have to ensure the victory to stay in the top of the rankings and make it easy for the player.
and he's going to be the winner.
Nani!
With the top lane,
Maitre!
Donut Junker!
Lirek!
The winner is
Bobby!
Otaru!
Sati!
and I'm not Paris!
All of this accompanied by Koshistar, Zerok and Godohan, the London men!
But watch out!
But next, if they want to go back here with a good memory, they will have to win!
they have won
they have shown the best things
but it didn't end
much more to let go
it's useless to think about it
you have to play
block the scouter
and extract a miracle
to access the player
Ladies and gentlemen
Shifter
with Swag cosplay
Raúl Sparrow
In the jungle!
For Gaza!
We're back in the mid lane!
We're going to be carried!
By Anak!
And I'm not...
Very good!
All accompanied by Striker and MNQ!
He must win.
He's the winner of the day.
He has to stay in the top.
In the ranking.
This master-village, this master-village,
is very, very hot.
And we are going to live here now.
Together, let's go!
For the Pockepe!
impacts for the league. It is do or die literally with shifters that try and also carry SK
across the line and stay alive for another day here in the LEC. If shifters lose a single game
they will be eliminated from playoff contention alongside SK so if the series yesterday wasn't
tense enough they're gonna have to keep up that momentum we're gonna have to see the
shifters that we saw yesterday in order for them to keep their playoff hopes alive whereas
for Na'Vi, a series when we'll lock them in playoffs and then want to secure one of those
top six spots. So a lot on the line for both these teams here in every France. And I mean,
wow, yesterday was quite the day. The first series, I will say, was a mess between Na'Vi
and Fnatic. We got to hear from the Rock. It felt like that the players were over-eager.
It felt like that they're making silly mistakes. And we know that the players,
yeah, after having some strong words from the coach, that he wants them to lock in
in today and convert those wins, sorry leads into wins.
Well, Schifters thus really been the story
of their whole split.
Their ability to get leads and then not be able to convert them,
finally we saw them do that against KC of all teams
yesterday, so perhaps they finally found the magic
that they've been looking for to bring everything together
and find the win today.
With one hell of a draft as well,
that earlier draft came out of left field and it works.
So Schifters is the pressure off
that they think it's just too hard to make playoffs
or is this finding where the miracle will be impossible
No one would think of Run could finally start.
Navi on Blue, shifted us on Red, pick and bad has begun.
It is normal pick sides as well.
So Navi will have first pick as Orianna is first off the board against Poby, which is a must do.
Ok, Jarvan going to quickly follow that up.
So Rise of course still available.
Things like the Ezreal Karma, we can see he has let through a lot.
But given that Navi do have the first pick with the Orla's Band,
they're very much suggesting they would like to get their hands on something like the Karma or the Seraphine.
We have seen teams kind of de-prioritize the Ash therapy, not that they won't pick it, but it's just fallen lower down on the priority list now, Ryze as well.
Shifters could afford to leave that open and say, hey, you take the Ryze, we'll take the karma away from you, and it looks like that's what they're going to do to the debate now,
but now RV is going to be, what do they want to lock in first? Will it be now Ryze? Will it instead be the karma, maybe even the Ezreal?
Ash is going to get locked in instead. Okay, with Ash getting locked in, we talked about the deep prioritization of Ash Seraphine.
This game is going to be the exemption straight off the bat for Navi. As you said, Ryze is open.
Also, things like this in Zao open, Ezreal open in the bottom lane as well.
That's going to be the priority for shifters here, as they're just going to get a strong 2v2.
Okay, early rotation, nothing too unpredictable coming through from shifters.
Now, Relach, the best version of this team.
Oh, we're going to see a bit of a pivot here.
I mean, Navi does give you a little bit more power to the Ash,
but of course, it's that combo from Seraphine that we're so used to.
What will the priority be here as the hover comes through?
I'm thinking about junglers for Relach, though.
With such little information, do they really want to lock it in?
Traditionally, Navi would go for something like their mid laner now,
but the Ryze still open. They could just lock that in for Poby if they want to.
We did see some fancy side stepping when Navi went up against Jyke where, uh, wow, I wasn't even, yeah, I just, I remember the, the rise trying to hit a skill shot against Jyke and none of them hit.
Yeah, I remember that as well. I was just like, I was watching instead.
But on the side, I mean, still that question is rise, like, what do you match jungle here and you worry about losing the Vi, that could be something here that Picarda really wants to pick up.
to pick up. So far three standard for shifters. We know yesterday they found their success
on some of these unconventional drafts. These are STPX, too good to let go. Ryze has to
be one of them. Yeah, especially now because you can pan away the traditional counters
of both the Anivia and the Casio. I think that that's what both teams were hesitant
on. We know that Nuke is a very avid Anivia player. If you blind pick the Ryze he's
going to pick the Anivia into it. You can already see the Anivia Loverband coming
through and I very much expect that to be the priority for the side of shifters.
Nafnavi, they can look to pinch that jungle role. When we think about Blucada being that
facilitated for the team, you can get rid of things like the Wukong possibly. You can also
take into consideration, I mean we did see Seshwani yesterday, but I'd be surprised if they picked
it this early in the series. I think instead they do need one of those bruises with Jarvan
haven't gone, Pantheon gone, Zin gone, Vayne Wukong, you already mentioned the Vayne earlier,
are kind of the highest pros, we'll see if Na'Vi let's try and remove those from the
pool.
I feel like already Vayne gets taken away by Na'Vi for the top lane and just will be
a tank top angle.
Seems like a Na.
And Na'Vi is thinking about...
I don't know if Liga or Kassan are still up and available as well.
Also true.
And Maintar has been a big component of playing in that champion, I mean a lot of our
top lans have.
Yeah, I mean, for Na'Vi, I think they have a defined style, which is tank top, carry jungle,
everyone else is just kind of a role player.
But we've been seeing them try to diversify their styles more to mixed success.
Perhaps with playoffs on the line, they'll revert back to just, hey, let's play for
what works, let's lock in that playoff spot and then use our remaining games in the
see to try out something different as they're going to be removed from Poby's
pool that does make a lot of sense and there's going to be the Jayce. Does
heavily suggest to me that Na'Vi is thinking about the Na'Vi?
No, they do want that Na'Vi top, it's going to be more obvious. But it could also be a take away here from
shifters as their priority pick for the blind top. A side note as well, they
still don't have their jungler though so that's the predicament they're in
where they probably wouldn't leave the counter for top lane and get that
Jungle pick out of the way now when they know what Reledge is already playing.
Wow.
So many jungle options available for Vucada.
It's not that.
Ooh, Jungle Darius.
Ooh, Jungle Darius!
My god!
It's Jungle Darius!
It's Jungle Darius!
It has to be right. I mean, it can still be a flop.
You're not blind picking top Darius.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I mean, unless you're like, ah, don't worry, Jason Vayner out.
So, I don't remember whose Twitter I read,
read but there was someone who I read a few weeks ago where they were saying like
Darius just got buffed like several patches ago and no one was really talking
about it to bring it out now I mean shifters your life was on the line you
gotta win every game you can a single game loss will eliminate you from
playoff contention imagine if they decided to die on the hill of Darius
for it wow okay so we're assuming that this is a Darius jungle yeah because
Broxer at the moment is spamming now. Shout out to Broxer with plays rush
We can talk about that more if we get confirmation
But for now, I just want to focus on the fact that it looked pretty standard as you said Navi
No series win locks him into playals
They have built a standard comp taken out some of these ST picks in the solo lanes
That Cassante would confirm it is in fact going to Ricardo's hands for this Darius
Oh, I feel like shifters just need a little bit more utility something like a
or maybe not okay they're going Aurora. So I mean Aurora's good into the matchup on Rumble.
But what's your plan? Well I'm kind of like sorry I have many thoughts in my head right now
trying to structure them in a way that makes sense. Let's start with the Darius. Excited,
new, cool, that sounds fun. Darius is a short-range champion whose issues have traditionally been
getting kited. Darius really struggles when champions can kind of outrange you,
slow you, kite you. That's often why many Darius players actually choose to run the
ghost instead of the flash. Just so that they have an easier time of closing
that gap. Striper also another tool that they can use in order to slow you so
they can stay within range and keep on top of that target because they want to
build those bleed stacks right? They want to stay in the thick of the fight.
it's Ash Seraphine Victor. Like these three champions are so good at self-peel and
kiting, at basically keeping you at arm's length, that I have concerns about how well
Vucada is actually going to be able to get involved in these fights. In terms of
early skirmishes, Darius has a huge advantage. Rise Darius, I could very
much see him being very strong in the early game, which makes me believe
that shifters, they kind of need to put their foot on the pedal early. They
They need to be skirmishing early.
They need to be trying to build leads early.
And then they need to leverage that to find better fights.
But doesn't that just sound like what shifters want to do?
We talked about the early game of both these teams.
But yesterday, shifters found success
when they got the ball rolling in lanes.
This time, they put their whole LEC split
on a single game involving Darius Jungle,
which is Bucardus' first ever Darius
of his entire career in League of Legends Pro Play.
Now, shifters, one single game, that's what we told you, one single game, and they're out.
And it is incredible to say that they're going to throw it all on this first game in such a ridiculous draft.
It is the phase rush that, again, roxerun like mines have been running in solo queue.
There's really the flash though, right, Glacier?
I mean, so flash helps you kind of make those plays.
You know, flash is flash, everyone knows what flash does.
Ghost just kind of helps you close that gap and also stick on top of your targets.
We're very curious as to what that atomization path is.
We'll see as we continue on in this game.
So early pathing is going to start on the top side.
Both junglers looking to do the same thing, pathing towards bot lane.
There's not a huge amount of ganks set up on the side of shifters.
With Ash there, I think you do have a little bit more utility in the duo
to allow for you to potentially make a play.
Oh, they're going in. They pop the heal.
Well, Dave, the shifters are still fine with this.
I mean, Pada can Trimby, by the way, on their comfort once again.
Trumid played as yesterday, Patek logs as Ezreal as most played in the LEC, this split.
And, uh, yeah, I mean, look at least for shifters, they've got control, they've got comfort through every lane.
Just a quick reminder as well, it's also SK who are watching this game with awe,
if you're wondering how it affects the region.
Super simple stakes for you, and we are literally going to decide three teams this weekend,
if shifters can't pick up a clean 2-0.
Yeah.
So it's, uh, very important, and it's a very difficult split now for shifters.
they've got three series left this being one of those three and so they need to
go six and zero it's just I have a chance of qualifying for playoffs yeah
whereas for Nabi that their game plan is simple get to six wins let's see 15
comes out on top is so far in this early game slight lead for shifters being built
up towards the top lane and a small lead in the bottom lane as well as
Samdi is getting zoned away from some of that farm Rooster I mean so far
this weekend. He's continued to demonstrate how talented of a laning top laner he is.
Legend, yeah. Found solo kills. He's been having strong carry performances, but I mean
also, I mean he played a rally yesterday. Like, I don't think it was the craziest
to rally an angle, but it was cool in lane. He did do a good job of limiting the Aurora
in lane, that's for sure. He did send it. He did every Aurelia's mantra, which is
just go in. So it was nice to see. I mean, again, it was a win and he was
big part of winning a major team fight in that game. So yeah shout out to Rusa, we were highlighting him
yesterday, probably will happen again today, depending on how this goes, as the card of the
Darius has picked up bottom scuttle. Look at the timing here as well, enables him to drop a deep ward
and maybe edge towards the bottom lane, get a bit more information as Religious only just started,
the scuttle crap in the top side. So recalls are just going to come through, nothing too crazy,
pretty stock standard, he was in the vicinity in the event that maybe there was some sort of
shenanigans going on that looks like everything is cut and dry early vision
invested from shifters towards the bottom side two wards on both the Raptors
and the Krugs will give shifters that early game information as to where
Reledge is on the map. Dragon's forming in a minute's time that's so far this
laning phase very quiet very calm kind of what we'd expected here with two
drafts like these. Now while we are looking I mean since we're following
the tune and speaking of how it's getting good damage on paddock he's
is quite low, tripping a couple of beats.
Paris looking for the auto.
Arcane shift away and good inspire from Trippi.
Gets the shield and Paracelsen has to tune around.
No way, Paddock, no!
Big mistake, he's stuck around,
and Paris just flashes on him.
Massive mistake.
He has the clans instead of the barrier.
He did have flash available, but he doesn't react.
He doesn't think that Paris has the damage,
but Paris connects both the E, has the auto,
and that's first blood going the way of Navi.
I mean, it's a disappointing product.
Big mistake, as you said.
It's gonna cost him huge.
Only thing he's gonna be happy about is his wave
doesn't fully crush him at the top,
but 400 gold lead, but supports.
When Paris is playing Seraphine,
it's a nice start for Nabi.
Oh, absolutely is.
I mean, typically against an Ezreal Karma,
you should never be getting kill threats.
You should not be in a position
to actually be getting a kill.
And the two versus two,
especially when everyone's only level four,
so for them to find that advantage,
nice stuff there from Nabi.
Again, they don't really get any summoner spells out from Padaque.
His wave was frozen thanks to Trimby, so he's not going to lose out too much in terms of experience,
both Samdi and Padaque in a similar position.
Samdi, though, has the upgraded boots on his back, which is going to give him a bit of extra power in the two versus two.
Nice and good back and get the T, though. Flush out for head, Picardo's in. Hang on.
Pitch-mating strike, crippling strike, needed all over the CCs too much.
Picardo gets straightened. It's a one for one as you just backs away after pulling Paris.
We go all in, and then we get quiet.
A heavy commitment from shifters, flash in knowing the parrots had no flash available.
But trading one for one in this situation is not ideal for shifters either.
Victor loves early skirmishes if you get kills.
The plus 25 for an assist or a kill is so valuable for him to get him accelerated, get that upgraded
E or the upgraded Q, but as I'm saying, then you know the parrots has no flash, but
the gravity field to cut off the follow up, you can see Trimby ends up getting summed
behind him can't really contribute that much more provides an early game shield
the rise doesn't really have the damage and what is a one-for-one I think
poby's much happier you can see 92 stacks on the icon at the bottom of your
screen the reflection of roots it in the river we're kind of looking to trade
looking to challenge relaunch was down here to play the game and fine trimby
courting out cat out brother as he flashes out over the wall the words
good religion bed gravity feel gonna slow down the chase from the Darius
the car gets tagged cars doing good damage so far as again it's a one
full one that gets traded off. Trimby does have to flush over the wall.
She's using his only reletion. My brain starts catching up.
Reletion feels like the only one died there, but he's done this out.
Yeah, no, you're completely right. A bit of a random affair in the river.
It felt like Navi had so much control because Trimby was isolated,
but Nuke used his ultimates to effectively cheat in from mid into the river
and turn it into a favorable fight for Navi because Reletion had no flash,
he had nowhere to go. So Bulkada, he gets that crab,
now he's level six, and now he's on the hunt.
Now going for the blue buff invade, Reletch is on the gromp,
with the blast cone over the wall with the level advantage you talked about.
There is a blow.
Abraham starts off the play building up those hemorrhaging stacks
to get that Noxion guillotine down.
A two versus one, Reletch is in trouble.
There's the dunk, but the slope not enough.
Reletch is walking out, the chaos storm down,
and again the gravity built from Poby.
It's huge.
It's meant to look for the chasing nuke and the wrong side of some of the red
trying to run away.
He gets the room present down, but I don't think he's escaping.
As he runs through his slide, he's gonna throw it in the way
and Mainz is still going to chase his house.
He looks towards the blue buff and Rista is looking for the 1v1
under Rilech, one more auto to go.
And he will find it.
The buff won't save him.
But Rista hops out and again, but for the blood god.
Nothing but chaos here in the other game
between Navi and Shifters.
Wow, the invade from Bucada.
I like the idea.
You know you have the level advantage.
You've got to rise at your back, go for the fight.
The problem was Rilech ticked over to level six,
just as the Gromp died.
Once he had that ultimate, he could actually
by a surprising amount of time, get good damage down to Nuke, and wait for Poby to arrive.
We'll look back at the replay and you can see level 6 gets secured by Relech.
This fight looks so promising for shifters, Relech has no idea.
Bucada building stacks up, building stacks up, building stacks up, gets that last stack,
goes to the ult, doesn't really do that much damage here in the early game and then
the gravity field gets dropped and Bucada can do nothing left.
Again, we talked about that idea of the Darius getting kited, you're seeing exactly
what I was talking about right there, Nuke end of dying as well, Ming to picks up that
kill and then Rooster makes the rotation down and picks up a kill for himself. So nothing
but chaos here in the other game.
Further conversation, I mean the victor value is going up and up, Poby keeps valuing off
the skirmish as you said. And is Victor now with two kills because of the fact that
Bukata is flushed still not us available. No ghost, Ming, bit of burst here on the
main view.
On average, you'd be getting your upgrade, your first upgrade around now if you just
do standard farming, right? Because you get one stack for a single minion, and then you
get five stacks for a cannon minion. So once you're around this point, you just look at
his CS. He's about 80 right now. So when you're around like 80, 85, somewhere in that area,
you usually get that first upgrade. But he's already 56 stacks.
Looking towards his second upgrade, and so Victor gets so much additional power from
those upgrades passively. And top of the fact that he's got both kills, he's
His first item finished as well. So I mean Poby is incredibly accelerated the victors already in a very strong spot
Again, I mean I feel like probably this weekend. Are we highlighting him yesterday?
But
Seeing him as something like Victor a control mage when it's such a standard Navi composition
It's a really nice way to start the game with the bottom estate with the skirmishing
But now we're let's getting the grubs in the top side
We caught it on the wrong side of the map right now looking for a gank
He wants to apprehend Poby who doesn't have his faster valve over the realm
they need to be quick smarts.
Yook has his flash available, he's going to get the rune
prison down, Krabby Field is good,
and he goes into phase rush.
The arrow though stops Bucada, they turn it into a game.
The flash, the knock up, the three talent side, Bucada.
Flash, but he won't get away.
It just came over, now he's dead again.
Rilech will lose his mid laner in the process.
Bucada bled him to death.
But remember, Poby got another kill.
So it's still called work.
Well, I mean, Bucada made the best out of a bad situation.
Shift is as eager to force these skirmishes.
We talked about how we expect this Darius to have an advantage in these early game fights.
And the fact that he was able to find a kill that is exactly what I meant by that.
He was able to get his stacks off quickly, throw out the ultimate, decimate Poby,
get a bit of gold back for himself.
But that arrow from Sam D, beautifully connects, opens up this opportunity for Na'Vi.
The gold remains even though, and that's the important thing.
It's roostled with the gold lead on the top side of the map.
Poby is accelerated, but between the AD carries and junglers, it's a very similar affair.
It does feel like again rooster finding a lane lead is the hope that shifters can sit on
This happened yesterday
It was rooster on his Akali the only one in the leader versus KC while the rest of the map was melting
Well things aren't in true despair mode for shifters. It's still a very strong Poby
It's still a bot lane that is just cruising and chilling so now I mean after that kill
Got a second upgrade already 11 minutes in two upgrades on the victim
That is very, very accelerated.
A little bit abnormal, yeah.
So he'll have the upgraded Q and the upgraded E
and if you thought Kiting Victor before,
sorry, getting close to Victor as hard before,
now he gets the bonus movement speed off his Q
and so now it's going to be that much harder.
So probably in a fantastic spot.
Dragon wasn't traded for Grubs,
which means that Reletch, after securing all those Grubs,
went for that skirmish that happened in the middle lane.
So Navi already setting up for this objective.
They got the push in mid,
they know Nuke needs to go back to base.
They're going to look to get the prior bot.
Will they look to start the dragon quickly?
It doesn't seem like it.
They want to clear out those bot crugs instead.
The dragon definitely on the mind to both teams right now.
Well, made to get to push into top lane in the meanwhile.
Marissa thinking about the all-in.
He's got them between well-decolized.
It comes down.
Two-fold hex just out of range.
Otherwise, that might have been a flush committal.
He's going to back away.
Probably close to getting towards his protobelt.
He's sitting very pretty with that gold lead
as he catches the top lane wave.
There it is protobelt in hand.
First items really in hand the three of shippers members on the other side
I say to as well as the echoes of heli of the Paris so that'll count as three as dragon start
And it looks like this will be four hands on deck. Yeah, I mean TP's available everywhere
TP wards Ash is very separated from the team though. I don't love the positioning here for Navi
I don't love that an hour is here for Carter again
When becomes lighting the set up the present God dragon goes down the party and Ricardo goes down to relish
Padak out of game, shifts around the wall, but Relage is going to follow him.
He gets his flash, wind hits him again from afar as Trimby is caught against three.
He flashes to the escape of Navi, but Padak, at the end of the wards, yeah.
The flash from Paris, the AOE, the damage, enough.
Padak in the ground, and Navi just keeps fighting Bacata after Bacata after Bacata.
That's main dig is ultied. The truthful dex ain't enough damage.
As Jukas assigned a proxy mid, because Shifter's right now, getting hit from all angles.
They're setting up the gravity field to get Nuke trying to get out Pajosh.
Only just enough movement speed as he runs past the blue buff.
Naked is coming in for a little bit of a gank.
Ward spots out Nuke, let your harpoon dodged away,
and it'll safeguard Nuke to run up to the top lane.
Perfect teamfight for Navi.
We'll look back at it as the arrow once again connects onto Bucada.
Look at how long he's done for.
The smite comes through a little early,
but the damage from Poby is enough to secure the dragon.
Chainsy's Nuke found a Bucada.
He is not involved in the fight whatsoever,
And with the general that gone, shift is a force to retreat.
They get the flash out from Trimbee.
They get the flash out from Paduck.
And overall just that very one-sided fight.
Navi, now with strong control here as we enter the midday.
And maybe I haven't been giving up plays to Parris,
is he set up in position again to look towards Buccaro,
who still has no flash, double beat drop.
He's gonna be dodged away from,
as Buccaro does get the scuttle and get out of there.
Meanwhile, Manta versus Nuke, this is gonna happen
on 1v1 between level 11 rumble and a rise,
but again, the S-phase rush.
You can just hit this and run away, blinds him, and then Manta just gets a quick trade on his head.
Send it to the blinds with it, but he doesn't have Leander's yet, so the power of Navi's top laner just ain't there.
Yes, slightly more favorable trades going the way of Nuke.
How does it alive in a minute's time? These land assignments, I think, do work, with his top...
Sorry, it's Manta that has TP, but the Ryze really doesn't want to be here. If they want, I can set a consulting arrow connect.
I don't know if Trimby are getting double beach on the stun down.
Trimby, a lot of trouble in just dead.
Navi taking down that parry step up to the plate with Riccardo's here.
His flush available once that brand of stripper rush hits Paris in the toe.
But Riccardo's now out of range.
He will not commit that summoner.
And again, Navi keep getting more and more 2000 gold leads starting to brew.
Yeah, I mean, I think you're right here, Sterak.
Paris really is just smirking in this game.
Multiple times he's connecting that route,
setting up for Sam B to deal the damage,
and they're able to find another kill.
8 kills to 4 now, a favour of Nabi. With shifter's life on the line here in spring, a single game
loss is enough to eliminate them from playoff contention alongside SK. And right now this
Darius is not working out the way that they want to. The stridebreaker is completed,
he doesn't even have tier 2 boots. He'd love to get those merc treads to at least
have a little bit more tenacity. There it is. And there it is. But yeah, I mean
And I don't see how things really get better for shifters in this game, as Navi right now
is an early game leader looking to push that where they can.
Thanks, Armin.
It's good again.
Parrish just pokes down Paddock and Rilech doesn't show any control water brushes.
Poby in the sideline.
Tension now here is Bucada wants to flash in at least find an angle on this mid laner.
But Poby's got the support of Rilech moving down with Parrish in between worlds as
well, right here between jungle, between the mid lane as he gets spotted out by
shifters.
They're just trying their best to defend their line of vision right now because Navi keep encroaching in and even Baccaro as he walks in a little bit of trouble here, he slowed down, has to be careful, because Samdi has an arrow up and 5 seconds to follow up with any play no matter how far away.
Samdi's been so accurate with those arrows as well this game.
I'll see if he can maintain that level of marksmanship.
Keeping my eyes on Pauli on the minimap, he doesn't have a TP available, ready to join the fight should one kick off around the Herald.
Reletch slowly making his way up they've gained the prior and mid lane and there we are now they're moving into that top side
River wave has to be caught by newton the top lane
Harold
It's like it's gonna be started off. And here we go
Shifters they feel confident enough to contest it. Maybe if you'd like to have to
But they're gonna be too late right? I mean why this slow because it's only relates doing it alone right now
Yeah, maybe the five major instead and you're not gonna flash the coast instead pop major flushes to get out
But he can come back in, he still has his equalizer to push up that way.
Here we're going to be taken down at the max patient range, I gets hit,
and that's Navi taking another objective two-shot barrage, obviously going to be
too late, nicely dodged from Rilech, she's going to back off of it, and
Sandy's going to get mid-push. It is looking so chill for Navi's
early game once again. Yeah, we'll just have to hope for Navi's sake that
they then don't get over-eager. I made the same mistakes we saw with the rest of the day.
More bullsandy would be the starting point. Flash, Nick matches it gets a round,
the room prison, the hour down, power, hits it, Max.
And you get to shut down, nice and done, and the game timer has to come through now
with Dragon up in 10 seconds.
He's doing his best to be as proactive as possible with this round, Walt.
We've seen him make plays consistently throughout this game.
He's actually got a gold lead over Pro Beat as he brings a score up to 2-1 and 2.
Second Dragon of the game, started off by shifters.
They want Paris as well. He's slowed down by an inner flame.
Trimmy moves into river with Cloudhark, he's gonna get that Inspire shield down so he can safely do so, but Herald through mid.
Shifters need to pick up the Dragon or defend one or the other here as Mid is just exposed and completely free.
They're looking for a major without a flash, he equalizes down the Flanksphere under the Afrohand.
Riccardo just wants to dunk the Noxian guillotine and the shutdown for Riccardo is ticking, ticking, almost dead.
He will live. He's not gonna burn to a crest as that is a one for zero with Mid lane being the trade.
Okay, so shifters ultimately find themselves two kills. The dragon was not secured
Whereas Navi do unlock that mid lane tower. Overall, I still think a fairly favorable trade for Navi
They need to quickly reset get back onto the map. Maita will not have his teleport available
Which means that 15 seconds shifters can really set up back around the dragon
But three members are recalling so a bit of a disconnect right now for shifters as the entire team is not going to be
set up to really contest this objective
saying that the reletch is hovering around the top side of his own jungle he's
clearing up with the gromp and the blue this dragon priority is just kind of
falling to the wayside as every team looks to go back and control these legs
reletch good coverage here poby canceled his back a couple of times you saw on
screen reletch now comes up gets found out by a ward but a 2v2 potential
here russia gets poked down pops the veil for a bit but it is just about
poby getting as much plating as he can in the top lane as you said dragon
priority has dropped, but Nuke thinking about what he can do in the bottom lane,
maybe set up the Bucata to come down here in a couple of minutes, or maybe just
pick up the wave. Yeah, it is quite rare. I mean, it's gonna be a slow dragon game, folks.
It looks like it, but as we said, that Na'Vi already making their way towards the
ocean dragon. Yeah, and I think this is smart. They recognize that there's
still two members on the top side of the rift that desperately trying to
and take that tower, and so they took the dragon.
So Navi greting up the way and has good movement.
Also cured their second dragon of the game.
That's chilling.
Now both teams have good early games normally, Betty.
But both teams can fumble at the finish line,
or at least, you know, they cross the halfway point.
Well, it's certainly been the narrative this weekend.
That is for sure.
I mean, yeah, even KC in the series yesterday,
to be fair, though, that draft from shippers in game two,
Kind of through a through a loop TP flank but ports of that realm wants to come in as well big commitment from shifters
It's only one it's you bring the way with him as well equalizer down the between world snaps him
The neck is cut off you get another kill here and we start to see a trend you carrying and making place happen for shifters
Absolutely, this is shifters game plan right now
Force pits where you can leverage
Ryze's ability to attack on side lanes.
Arup does connect on the blue tower.
And there's three people here as well.
Winder comes out, Ingle Dace is charged.
Big on-core.
He can't move, but healed up.
Maybe there's a chance that Brandon decimates.
He'll know.
He can't get it on the three.
It would have given him chance to smack Sammy D.
Even the true chopper-age can't recover the players.
Narvi take him down, take the top tower down,
back into gold plate.
He just didn't take the 1v1.
Got FaZe, Ryze, out of the cow storm, out of the gravity field.
The wave's up next.
Nucleus is standing at it and except the damage,
what Poby reminds us for his life.
Okay, Navi responded with a pick of their own.
Getting another kill into Bucada, 2-5 and 2 now for the Darius.
This has not been the early game that he would have wanted.
Maybe there's a reason we haven't seen it in tier 1 since Darbock in the LCS in 2021.
Maybe there's a reason it's been 5 years.
By the way, for everyone at home, this is the first jungle Darius for the LEC.
I didn't mention that earlier for you.
So, you know, when you see first-time champions in a region, in a role,
You want it to succeed, don't you, Betty?
Ideally.
Ideally.
Boss.
So far, as you said.
I mean, the beauty of these two teams
is that what they demonstrated this weekend
is that, as we often might say,
the Nexus, until the Nexus falls,
the game isn't over.
That is effectively the legions
and the quote from the LEC Carthage.
I feel like it's very true in the LEC.
So let's see what happens.
Can Narvi usually that they've got to
effectively close out this game or whether or not shifters will find a
couple more picks and make this game more interesting then it currently appears
because right now appears that with the lead that Navi have they're gonna just
look to steamroll the rest of shifters. They have a 2k gold lead for now, two
items finished from Rilech, main to the one that's mainly been put behind in
this game. Lucas done a very good job of after the early... sorry, a fly.
It literally just went into my mouth.
It literally went into my mouth.
That was quite the experience.
It liked you, Vinny.
That was so good of that fly of it.
Oh, goodness.
Wow.
Yeah, it's something about Nuke before we got a run by fly.
But Baron has been started.
Yeah, no.
But let's discuss this.
For sure.
Well, it's not going down that quickly.
Probably need the Ash to get into range,
but Bacara eats sniff in this one.
He's thinking something's up,
but a control will place down by now.
Me.
Means that they still don't know.
Riccardo's gonna come in, hang on.
Oh no, ghost, okay, Spidey senses, Baron hits him
at five, Payton, now that you're gonna pull off,
now that he knows, but he started going around
and decided to back there, that was gonna be a disaster.
Yeah, that was, well, the fly back here.
Please fly in boundaries, please.
It's a big stadium, there's three thousand people
in here and it chose you.
Okay, let's have a look.
Bot tower gonna be secured in there,
reshifters, now I got a little bit of gold.
All the arrow!
Rooster now escapes, equaliser free.
Sammy D with the arrow from mid lane.
Now Rommelbaer from Nugget seems to collapse, flush away.
He brings the minions with him, but he gets out safely.
No dominoes in the top lane to fall after that arrow hit somehow onto Rooster.
Beautiful place from Sammy D.
That's a ghost. Well that's going to take the fight.
This is how Fischer's from Riccardo on court, pushed away from Blascoe and gets him out.
He decided to, uh, we didn't ghost in of course, but he did flush in the end as he has dead man's play.
But now that Riccardo's at half HP, now he's threatened Baron again.
Yeah, they still have the numbers advantage.
Brewster not going to be alive for another 10 seconds.
Maintic and TP to join the fight, but he's keeping Nuke preoccupied.
Now the TP's going through.
Five members versus Nuke having to walk all the way.
We're there. No realm ward. No TP. Nuke is not going to be here.
here. Numbers disadvantage as shifters are right in the pack of the five.
Piccata out for a hand is a pulling man, but I don't know if he can do anything about it,
even after the death mate went well from Rister, he's got my voice in.
I'm gonna take down the mark which wins Nami. Having in space, Piccata gets the opening kill
and wants to reset and start knocking down doors. Down low as we're left as he pulls out
the ground, he goes in. Psychopathic play that gets him shut down. Maybe he needs to go to a mental
ward as Nami are getting cornered, pinched, chased. Shifters know they've got them
Right where they want them.
Flash wall from Sandy.
You can't, he gets apprehended.
Decimate heel as well.
Even though Sandy gets to kill, it won't matter.
The rest of the shift is flashed over the damage from the Seraphine.
Part of it gets us shut down.
Shut down for Rooster as well.
And Baron is left on the greatest of some time.
If he won't be able to get in range,
Shifters will get out of there.
They deny the purple buff.
What an intense fight.
as Mainter commits into the front line of shifters to try and keep them away from the band.
The band does get secured when it comes to the cost of Mainter's life.
Then Rusa can arrive, dealing massive damage to multiple members.
At this point, Shifter's realized, wait, we have the numbers advantage.
We can chase them down.
So Vilegg goes, maybe I can cut a kill onto Pucada.
He gets a huge heal back out there from his own Q,
allowing him to stay alive and turn that kill around.
Now it's 5 vs 3.
back from Poby gets into safety. Sandy has to make a split-second decision. Another move,
another heal from Riccardo, buys enough time to allow for the rest of Shifters to get that
kill into Sandy, and Paris now has nowhere to go. Four kills, go Shifters away, as now
we're back on the map and a dragon has been kicked off.
They're feeling like they can really contest these fights. First dragon in the game,
they've stopped the stacking of Narvin, and Riccardo's going to take it. So,
dragons off the board means more time given over to Shifters, more time to think
and look to some of these outrageous plays.
They're definitely back in the game
and all hope's not gone yet.
They're doing what they can to stay in this game as a reminder.
If Shifters lose, not just the series, if they lose a single game,
they will be eliminated from playoff contention.
Both Shifters and SK, Navi, they're fighting to secure a spot in playoffs.
They have to win the series, but if they do that, get themselves a six wins,
they will lock a spot in the top six here in spring.
Shifter's 11-11 in kills.
Nuke and Rooster, where the gold is largely sitting, and Nuke, what a game from him.
He's been using Round Warp so effectively, very consistently throughout this game.
Meanwhile, SamD, his marksmanship on the arrows has been nothing short of excellent.
But now, Shifter's looking to go on the assault.
Out of the game because one front-lining, the on-call hit from the group,
Braddock cleanses away immediately, but they save their mid lane turret as Rolledge comes from the angle
He's found out by Nuke, shifts his moves as the three-man
Rooster goes back up to top lane, Main to still in bottom
That's where we end the play for now
The shift is looking for that next wave to crash in so they can open up mid and open up their map a little bit
Bit of a stalemate, and I'll be not really getting anything off the back of their Baron
They did get that one tower in the middle lane with tier two
but really we just reset to neutral. The gold leads short, it does exist. A lot of it is sitting on to Reletch.
Lukana has not had a fun time in this game, but the atomization difference really isn't that significant.
Reletch getting very close to level 16 and the GA, which means that he'll be a very effective frontline.
That's really where the majority of the difference exists.
Serpent's Fang being completed on Padaque means that the shielding that's coming through from Paris will be a little bit less effective.
I would also say, if we're talking about items, there's some important things we need to look at before the next dragon, the next Baron.
That Baron, that Rabadon's, excuse me, almost complete for Rooster, Actualizer for Nuke, that big item when we're talking about Ryze these days.
Those are two things I'm looking at, Betty, because if we're going to see how shifters get back in this game, the solo laners so far have not only been the damage output,
But the big playmakers, when Bukata falls, when the bottom lane gets bullied, it has been new conruchta stepping up to the plate so their third items feel like game breakers if they can test this next objective.
So the problem for shifters right now is there's nothing really to fight for.
And it's true, two minutes.
So farming is the priority, get what items you can, if you can finish anything ahead of the next major fight that would be fantastic.
Fantastic as we're mentioning it the GA now fully completed for a ledge
But two minutes away for another dragon a minute and a half for the next baron shifted playing it safe
They realized that their own jungle isn't even that comfortable
They can these bits of vision they do
Excuse me slowly being cleans away the fly did something to you
Well now being as you said the controlling the space now all the camps are taken
Luckily, he's the Vukata.
But as they look to defend their inner turret, even Roos is going to back away.
Truesha brought up, helps in the minion wave.
Little bit of poke out as well.
Navi equalised down behind it.
Good zone control from Mainter.
In fact, that's a snap from Navi to take inner turret in a moment.
Yeah, good use of the grubs, the rumble ultimates, and just their quick tower taking ability.
There's no cross-nap anywhere on the side of shift.
They're playing so defensively, not pushing out any of their side lanes,
which means that it's an easy play for Navi.
Love that confidence, love that control.
Now though, now we need to consider the resetters,
the Baron is morning in about 40 seconds.
I don't expect it to be rushed down,
but still you wanna resend now,
spend more gold if you can,
get back out to the map, replenish that vision as well.
The control wards, the wards just follow the supports
in general as it shifters turn
to get some presence on the map.
They're gonna use that time
to put a bit of vision in the river.
There is that one control ward
sitting in the top triangle rush,
thinking about it as a potential flank option.
And there's a couple as well.
One to the right side here is observers looking at now as well.
We will say if there's anything that happens around Baron,
options for shifters are very limited here,
with only waltz set up for dragon flank right down below in the bottom of the map,
as you can see there as well.
Remember, it is a Hextech Rift, so travel is easier.
So I think of the Deutsche Bahn pass as a cut is running through enemy or rather. He's a jungle clearing up
He's making walls rather
Shifters they're gearing up this baron remember it is dragon that seems more important here for Navi as they would move to number three
Through to sell point have the leverage in this game probably the protocols forward
He doesn't grab it on jet, but it's still a three-and-a-half item Victor with two very large rocks
Five seconds for that Drake to come up
You know what, deathcap is so close to being completed, but now everything is up.
Both teams kind of running out of time, well they ran out of time now, they've got a
mega decision.
I like that Nuke is still sitting in a side lane though as Navi kind of sets up contemplates
whether they start the objective or not.
He's trying to funnel in gold as quickly as he can.
Does he have enough?
Is the dragon going to be started off?
Shifters will spot this one out.
Yeah, Richard Brage does exactly that. The pings are going down. Rilech sees Hang on. They want to fire. Roots that goes across the veil.
He's talking in Paris. Main tip with an angle, but he's found out by Bucata.
There's also a ward in that banana bush there. As he hangs around blue buff, that's Bucata for the flank.
His nuke gets up and gets priority towards top lane.
Schifter's not committing to anything around this baron's side yet.
So Dragon does go down. Rilech just takes it as he goes back after the second board. Dragon down.
There you go. Sol point for Navi. And Schifter didn't get anything in this top side outside of a bit of vision.
while Nuke got his deathcap.
That is something.
By just staying in the top lane, funneling in as much gold as possible, he was able to get that item upgrade.
And now Shifters have to have reached a point where they feel comfortable to fight.
I wonder if Paduck will have finished his item as well.
He's got a couple of components there.
Will he look to close things up? Does he have the gold?
Yes, he does. There's the spirit of Shorjin.
Now finished up for him.
So, Shifters, like they're kind of as strong as they're going to get right now.
Like there's no more components left.
If they're going to fight, they've got to do it.
The good news for them is Navi hasn't really started off any Baron.
But this is the best case scenario for shifters right now with so many of their items.
Oh, Trimby! He's found out. Maintain to help that out.
And he flashes in. He overheats. He's ordering Trimby to death.
He flashes away. He gets the tether.
It is flashed to a flash. So at the very least they get Maintain's flash out of it.
But Trimby's chunked out. And again, Baron is still up waiting for a victim, waiting for a foe in the top lane.
Navi's saying, no, they're going to go for the fight instead.
Can I get a tag? Reletch thinking about engaging with his GA as there is a hop between the veil, dodges away from the poke from Paris, and Narvi now hog control.
Popov is pushed in by Povey. He now finishes his own deathcap, TP's in to regroup with the team.
Now we're getting a bit of an A-Ram as we find all five players from Narvi and from shifters grouped up in the middle lane.
Pop being pushed in favour of Narvi, bot lane.
setting it white. It's kind of frozen in place to be honest. It is slowly pushing in favour of shifters.
That top tower is even going to fall in Navi's favour.
I need to start hitting some of this poke because as you said shifters losing out,
where is it getting engaged on Relic? It starts to fight.
And that's a bit of damage on the roof. The half-HP true chopperage runs through Sandin pass.
It's nice but shifters need to close the gap. Navi wait and try to lure in their prey as Relic
splashes in. Present guy gets up for hand over to one another.
He's got Geeta by the time the on-call misses and whiffs.
Now the equalizer's down, gone, Picard applies to him, no decimates,
Rooster between worlds, on five people.
He jumps in between, what kind of veil was that?
He took the wrong portal in as Nabi already lost that top lane,
and so it's an equal trade, look at the health bars,
Chips has flashed on, Poby sends them to forward,
Chips is running for their life, he has to stand his ground,
but the next one, the Wim saved the play.
As Nabi have saved his relics one last time,
They shouted, damn, but shit this, I'm not here to tell the tale, it's only Panna left alive,
and the true chopperage won't even take down Poby, and now Baron awaits.
An insanely close fight between both teams. Everybody that had Flash used it in that fight.
It all came down to a couple of single plays. So much was missed from Nabi at the start of this fight.
Relepche force ends it. The arrow doesn't connect. The Rumble ultimate looks good, but then the encore from Paris also doesn't connect.
So now Navi have committed everything. The Bucata gets too close. Rooster with a huge ulti. Looks like he's going to make an insane play.
He doesn't have the one-shot onto Sam Di. That's where things start to go wrong. Nuke oversteps ever so slightly. Bucata's getting kited.
We're seeing the weakness of the Darius. This laden to the game. His inability to close that gap.
And in the extended fight, shifters simply get outcited.
They cannot land the damage. They cannot close that gap.
And when you think about how much Navi fumbled the start of that fight,
the fact that they were still able to come out on top
makes you realize how difficult it is for shifters to navigate these 5v5s.
So how strong Sam Dees is as well, even though the arrow doesn't connect,
it's the autos, it's the uptime you talk about the extended flight.
6000 gold and the death knell starting to ring for shifters.
There is no second lifeline for Spring.
It is this game.
It is every game as a win or nothing.
And two will SK be in the dirt as bottom lane inhibitor
Tara is going to be taking inhibitor with it as well
as Rooster has committed for the inner Tara
in top of the trade.
They know they're losing this no matter what.
But with Fallon, I think Navi are going to try and get
a little bit more.
Then Navi is going to try and end the game.
He's trying to make sure that they've got the nexus
in their sights.
But the last stand is going to be the mantra right here.
RL is going to be a new movie, and he's going to send himself in, no he fates it out,
he's isolated, left alone with the GA, that's surely what we pop through, he regained his
blood, fantastic! Now Sandy unleashes hell! The Ice Queen sends out all of the hour,
kill off the kill, they're back where they were, now they think about ending the game,
and shit, this is just outclass, an outscale, outmatch, outkilled, and output by Navi
30 seconds still on Trimby until he's back in the fight.
Nabi hold on to four. All huge damage from Marusa, but Bucarda just cannot close that gap.
The damage is connecting onto the tower. The Nexus will soon devolve.
The first Darius jungle in EU competitive history in the LEC, EU LCS will not be remembered.
As it won't end here, but the Hexgad got to get Navi to save the...
as they are playing with scraps here at the 36-minute mark.
My goodness, they don't try to force the issue. They don't try to close the game out.
Instead, they choose to play it safe. The Sol is on the map for them to take.
And it looks like that will be their priority.
Navi will allow shifters one more chance.
But you can see that Rooster doing his absolutely best.
Good initial damage, but then Rooster sneaks his way in. Just one shot, Paris.
No opportunity for him to react, no flash available.
And at this point you're thinking, well, Relèche, he's going to die, there's no way for him to go.
But the main to red carpet gets dropped onto all four members.
Relèche resurrects with the GA, and now he's find a way to turn the fight around.
Sandeep's ability to step up, yes, no fear that guy.
As the last BF solver does in his inventory, I doubt at home we will see that finish.
This Hextech's soul is going to carry it into a win for Navi.
Shifters on their last legs now through the top lane as one Nexastar and in bot,
one inhibitor in bot is down. Sandeep is threatening, he jumps in rather.
He gets weird and gone, good after a hand, and mistake without anyone nearby.
Sandeep stepped up to an Amoridarius.
Okay, Rooster doing everything in his power to stop shifters from being eliminated from playoffs.
New continuing to push in the sideline, no one is there to answer him.
And Navi, now they have to wait 43 seconds.
A lot more time we bought for shifters.
We're getting to a point, I mean we've even already been there with the gold, really doesn't matter.
As four builds are starting to come through, try the side.
4.4K is the lead now after 7000 of leaving the base of shifters.
So props again as you said to Rooster, massive lead through the top lane.
He really is keeping the game alive right now.
Just like many games we've seen so far in this spring split.
I mean Rooster is an exceptional talent.
I feel like we're quite lucky this split with the top laners that we've got.
Rooster doing everything in his power.
in his power. Can he turn this game around for shifters? It would be an incredible feat.
But if he can just find Sam B again, maybe that's enough. Elder is four minutes away.
Baron will likely be what Navi have to rely on to try and close this game out. As shifters
use this time to finish off a last few items. As I said, the goal matters less
the less and less the longer this game goes, but at least the gold gap will matter less
and less as well, and as that barons a minute away.
Naby are taking all the control on the top side, Bacala is picking up the scraps with
that smite as well, and you can see he's on towards his fourth item and I just want
to get tanky so he can run in uncontested, I mean you know what I'm saying, as much
Uncontested as he can be with the gold disadvantage that he has
Now be controlling the waves we wait 40 seconds
And see if shift does have anything left in them product willing to step up right side of the wrist right now is shifter's territory
And we are a ramming a little bit as our product is doing some good damage
Sandy getting hit a strip right also. That's fantastic damage. That's redemption down now
You're gonna heal back up and now that's down you can see that ship to do have some meaningful pike
Absolutely, I mean, Ezreal late game is not weak. He does not fall off that queue, does not have a cooldown. I can tell you that right now.
Bruce, that is fishing. The poke continues to land.
Nukes angle. They need to obviously set forward and Narvi side. Good ward is going to spot how far encroached Narvi are in the mid lane.
Nukes just waiting for a target.
See who face checks rooster looking for bleeding won't find burst you can run through now. Look at how big Navi up
He needs a fight to start before you can commit to a flank
Yeah, dangerous, but he is continuing to the arrow down Sandy just through it all the way through that side bush
So arrows down for another 35 second
Okay, the inhibitor sign before they have to send rooster now they're trying to get the TP out from rooster the inhibitors
They can't protect it. So they get themselves in here and now the true shop ride once again good damage on the Sandy
Bucada the one that has to face check the drop is there and you try to bait the wrong one
But Baron is just getting taken down now. He don't flinch
Baron number two to them. Rusek goes between the valley gets taken by reletch
They're gonna run top they got the inside track shift is in the back
Yeah, I'll be everything is working beautifully to not be right now shift is at no position in the river
The Baron went down very quickly, shifted, couldn't answer in time, and they've got a
Camel Wave right behind them. Navi looking to leverage this Baron to potentially end the
game right now.
Russo is still looking to that flanking angle, he's been pinged out as you see on the mini
map by Navi. Inhibitor and inhibitor is going to drop Navi AOE. Russo, what can he do
nothing? Doesn't get the burst from the winning of the twofold hex. If they look
for a new target, that arrow is back up and available as well, so long range
and gauge available for the AD carry of Navi.
They are not overstepping. They are being very cautious here on the side of Navi.
Exceptionally cautious. I feel like the worst case scenario for Navi is that this turns into an elder fight.
There's no real reason for them to turn this into a flip.
I think that focus should be to just send it down the middle lane.
You have inhibitor on bot. You've got inhibitor on top. I do think you're trying to play through two lanes.
Remember they're worried about a potential pick.
But they need to leverage this bound to try and take everything away from chifters and look to try and close this one out.
What's going on?
You had a weekend ticket for this every road trip.
You'd be getting value because we are going the distance already in game number one.
Will it be another seven hour broadcast?
We don't know.
But would you be disappointed if it was?
The people here yesterday, they were popping off.
Hopefully this gives something to warm them up to before Casey hit the riff later on.
But today though, as Nabi, we'll shut down those playoff chances of shifters and SK.
They've got full control of elder.
question of whether it's going to be a flip is first of all how does Bucada get
anywhere near the dragon? That's a great question. The arrow will not connect.
He's missing a few. The cooldown though, the same to the game, not that long.
I think this is the best play right now. Yeah, good control over mid.
Secure that tower. The rest of the shifters is trying to gain access onto
the elder and the elder is not the focus. Another inhibitor now secured.
I was worried there Betty because I'm like what if they just keep running
in the game. I think they should think about it. They've got both TPs available.
Okay here we go. Eldar has actually been started off. Could this be the moment
shift has been waiting for? Shrishabh Mirage gets Pobi. Good damage down. The
poke from Padak is important as well. Mystic Shot after Mystic Shot firing into
the Nether. Dragon still played it in. It hasn't really been started out.
Padak is starting to lay down some poke himself. Sam Di gets hit by a Mystic Shot.
Look at the minion waves. Mid. Top. There's an issue here. The longer this
The fight goes on, Shifters are going to lose the game by proxy as Ashour, Ashour, two seconds.
It's about to come up as you said, the pick and start off the equalizer down.
The on-course break, Picardus owned out of 3k for the elder, Trimby's already dead.
Picardus dead, there's the smite, and Shifters' chance for the LAC is gone.
And this will get a kill in response, but Sandy will get the final order, the final nail.
The coffin being buried and Shifters are gone.
Na'Vi navigate the fight beautifully, they secure the elder, they secure the fight, they will secure game 1 and they will eliminate both shifters and SK from playoffs here in spring.
And the road to securing playoffs for themselves becomes one step easier.
A much closer game than I expected based on the early game.
Navi were clearly very worried about how things were going in the mid game.
Rooster did his absolute best to bring this game back, but it just wasn't enough.
No chance of solo lanes.
The Darrys didn't really come together, but again, I feel like what we've learned over this weekend
with shifters is when they play their style and the pressure's off, they have looked a little bit better.
but not here of course is Lauren Reletch standing by.
I don't think it's bad champion, it is really good to clear and Skirmish power is really strong.
He wins one of the most of the genres I know.
And I think in two zins, it should be okay because I have no dash, I cannot run away from Darius.
But I think on the execution part, that was a bit of a problem.
When he invaded me, it was like, kind of silly. I had everything, like I had no flash, but I was old and I was full HP.
When I'm full HP, Conqueror, he is FaZe, he cannot kill me.
But yeah, I think Darius was good pick.
Maybe I'll play in Clare, Cezar, Racer 5s, and maybe next week.
Thanks for keeping in mind. Thank you so much.
I'm going to let you join your team for the next game.
It wasn't a bad champion.
It wasn't even bad against Zinzao.
It's just Lin Veil who went really bad.
And according to him, it's really what made the difference here.
But he keeps that in mind.
Maybe something that will come out in the next game for the playoffs.
Kamel, it's up to you.
Yeah, a struggle.
A struggle for the Darius in that matchup.
Before we get into it, we have already said it a couple of times,
that shift is in SK now. Well, eliminated from Clare of Consent Contention, they are
drawing Hematix as one of our bottom four teams. Yeah, I think it's unfortunate for SK,
for shifters. I think they did well in the last couple of games we saw them. At least
they pushed the ball forward a little bit more. But as you can see now, 0-6, not
going to be able to compete. Same when it looks at SK as well.
I mean, the Darius was quite not enough to get them over that win that they needed.
I feel like there's a lot of, I have a lot of thoughts about this Darius.
I want to kind of go into it because as you say they are now eliminated and this is sadly
the end of Shifter's journey now in spring, but it's thinking about the Darius. When I think
about Darius, of course I think about Adam, firstly and foremost, but then we look a little bit
about the history of Darius. Last time it was played was by Dardog 2021 and then you're going
to go back all the way to 2013 by Dandian Insects. It's not a very common jungle pick,
even though it has had its moments in solo queue. There have been some patches where
Darius has completely ran the server and it's usually been on the back of that Yumu's
build kind of early game movement speed snowball style. Here we did see Bukata go for the stride
breaker with more of a tanky build, which makes sense considering the context. And that context is that
sure, Darius into Xinshaw is a objectively good matchup. Xinshaw cannot dash into Darius without
dying. The problem is there's an ash seraphine. And we saw Bukata constantly getting hit by an
ashult into a seraphine encore and just getting locked down before he could actually access that
This was actually the exact face I saw beside me the entire way through this.
As it went through.
Especially as we got to see this play where Lukada tried to make this work.
It looks amazing. Set it up. Q. Flash.
I'm gonna make the play. And it just whiffs on everything.
Slowed down. Couldn't make anything happen.
It was just sad times overall for shifters.
And I think he said it right thing. Like, the Darius had no business being here.
It was very, very difficult for him to get involved in any of these plays.
It's entirely different if you have a hard engage support.
If you have something like Wakanda, the Darius goes forward, Wakanda dashes onto him, quickness for people there, Darius then uses his Decimate.
You have so many options, but you're running Karma, Ryze, Aurora, Ezreal, like...
Something very nice here.
Dude, like, you are the guy running at the enemy team.
This is the face that was sitting beside me from the list.
It just didn't work for Wakanda. I like it in isolation, as you say.
I think it's a concern, it makes a lot of sense, but generally, the Darius just wasn't it.
I do like the posking interview that a really was like, yeah, the champion is good. Of course, really, the champion is good. If there's only top lenders, like what?
Yeah, it's one of those things where I can understand trying to bring out a few unique pitch shifters to the yesterday, right?
We had the Diego in the Aurelio and it does work. But when you're sitting in this range support meta, I don't think you can lack CC from the jungle to that degree.
Yeah, and I think it was an L for shifters, but they did give us something to think about in this one.
Because honestly, I thought it was fantastic that they did try to bring it their own style and really make it work
Like as you say to Diego yesterday the rally
And I think
Hushing the boat when you're in this position is the best chance right like clearly what you have been trying
What is the quote-unquote meta isn't working?
So trying to find a different strategy can be something that can shake it up and give you a little bit of leeway then like if you
Can just build your confidence now for the upcoming splits. I think that's way more important
I mean, I absolutely agree with everything you're saying Rob, but I also want to shift the focus a little bit over to Navi
Because Navi, coming into this weekend, we expected a lot from them
I expected Navi going up against Fnatic, going up against Schifters to look really solid
That a reality of that situation is that I have not really seen that
I've seen a Navi that struggles in the mid-game, look very shaky and sure you can put it on the nerves
It's a big arena
It's the first time a lot of these players are playing in such a huge stadium
But still that mid-giver lobby we need to see more from them because you cannot struggle against teams like shifters like that
If you want to actually at the beginning of the weekend ascend and try to actually push for that top four potential world spots for summer
We talked about them wanting to see them elevate right?
That was the first thing we said coming into this weekend
And I don't think that's the case like Poby has gotten caught now both yesterday and today on sidelines like there hasn't been as much
Consistency as we were hoping for and it feels like in my eyes. They are maybe trying to work on
you know, I'm not sure if you
know what you're talking about.
I'm not sure if you're talking
about what you're talking about.
I'm not sure if you're talking
about how do you manage 131?
How do you work through this
style, but it clearly hasn't been
figured out by the yes, I get
that, but we did hear the rock
talking about it a little bit
yesterday saying we are trying
a few new things. Yeah, and if
you are a team that is almost
guaranteed playoffs if they win
this game, they are locked into
playoffs. Isn't this the time
to try a few new things out
isn't a match against shifters
the time to try to elevate
and try to expand your game.
Do you think that's what's
causing the issues? Or do you
I mean, I think there's a little bit of both. I agree with almost both points you're making because I agree
They need to challenge themselves and actually try to evolve away from this
Relish heavy play style. Mainter, he's not being put on tanks anymore
And we see Poby as well trying to adapt to what Relish is trying to do. Sure, Relish is you know Shinshao
But it is about finding that sweet spot, allowing the other players to step up
And I think there was moments of that game
I think Samdi had a fantastic game on the Ash. Almost all the early kills you saw in this game
was on the back of a great Sunday arrow.
Yeah, and I think that's where I, like, I've been impressed with Sam Di who I stepped over the last couple of series.
Like, the Lucian, the Ash here today, like, there's been several times where I've looked and gone,
okay, we're getting to step up as the carry, but I do think when it comes towards how do Navi interact on side lanes,
I think it's individual errors. I think it's not really respecting what can be achieved by the other team,
getting caught out and just overextending and over pushing the side lane,
but those are mistakes you have to make to learn what that boundary is as well.
Yeah, I totally agree with that. I think it's one of those...
I would rather see a team fail at doing something slightly new or don't... like it's not entirely new.
It's just not the...
Oh, you want to see teams fail, then? Okay, cool.
But I'd rather see them fail when they know they're in a spot where they can hear that, right?
Like, when you're playing against shifters, if they lose the first game, I expect they'll say,
Okay, relax, you carry. Let's make sure that you're in a spot where we can go 2-1.
Here, you see as well the elder fight for shifters at this point, they were kind of just out of the damn.
They lost triple in here but their match movements hadn't been great as well.
They tried to push out bot side together with the super minions
and just gave up their middle inhibitor for basically nothing.
I mean I half agree because still like we knew shifters was good around dragons.
They had solid midgames, inverses in the beginning of spring.
And I don't think their comps are that different right now.
Sure, you see that relation like on a bruiser,
the only difference is really mainstream playing a little bit more carries
and I feel like the drop-off we've seen in the consistency past that 20 minute point
It's just due to inexperience and maybe a little bit of mode.
But normalize the hand and it turns out very different.
Yeah, yeah. But I guess that's my point, right?
It is not a, hey, let's play a funnel meta,
or let's entirely change, let's only play through side lanes.
But small changes can have a drastic impact.
And saying we're not only playing through the ledge,
he's going to put more pressure on Kobi,
he's going to put more pressure on Mainter.
You are trying to shift a few of those levers,
and it's not drastically different.
I 100% agree with you.
But small changes can have a large effect
on how a team is able to perform in the moment.
Would you agree with that?
I mean, I would absolutely agree.
But now, we're actually going to toss through a little bit of a break,
and we'll be back just in a moment, guys.
I wanted to see the presentation.
What is this film?
I was just going to have to chew you around.
White product, no!
Big mistake, he stuck around,
and Parrot just flashes on him.
A massive mistake.
You're good in the face, Ross.
The arrow, though, stops for Carter.
They turn it into a game.
Then flash to knock up the three-tower strike for Ganna
Vyx is really going to get away!
Sandeep will be the starting point, flash
Ignite should get the Whirlwind
Whirlwind in the hour down, Pudder
It's a Maxed!
And you get the shot down
Knight's is done to get the Pudder
I get up
I just want to flash you
I just want to flash
Demi gets the Hades
Oh my god
I have no list
Let me try.
Alright, wait, brother, let us break this instead, brother.
Have a break, have a KitKat.
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, oh, oh, that's not happening, baby, that's...
Did you shoot the LAC trophy?
Okay, you can close.
I
ain't on the break
but rules are meant to work by the proudest walls
didn't do V-crum but they wanna lead them and guide them straight and tip them off praxis
I was in the relegator beast meanwhile they was cutting my D-blast
you know I'm an artist
I've been with enough practice
no cloud or digital captions
walls and madness
how am I gonna matter if it's free?
I'm an artist
I don't need reasons
I just need money and power and slackness
I don't wanna do it like down like down like down
Let's put you two on the hand, big man said it ain't landin', never gonna profit off blackness, never got a dollar off sadness, why been sunk so I don't do sense
This heavy is the head, crowned shit suit, feeling way down on my shoulders, shows I'm making break from this mood
Money on my head, cause I'm doing all this, takin' every lip, taking down this mood
I'm talking, treading with means and caution
Man, I have delis to feed from morning
They start shelling me dreams, I'm walking
Yeah, I was uncomfortable, man, I was scared
Looking for solace, the name was a dare
Now I'm a part of my label, then dare
Double the knock on this game is a dare
They loaded the bags, I came in for dad
Feeling it so hot, buddy, I put up some blood on it
How do you cope?
Well, they never hear you ho
When you left, you went on coke
And it's wearing heavy in his throat
Even if the moment the secure playoff, we will play for win, in official you play for win
and then you review your mistakes, so yeah, only win, best drafts possible, best early
possible into maybe good placement. Maybe we will end up making good placement again.
It's a good advantage for players.
I think for shifters, they need to improve a lot or they need to be on a good day to win.
Or like I can see us inting, I wouldn't say we cannot int, but I think there are a lot of problems.
We don't have that many problems. We just need to not troll our early game.
And in mid-late game, I think we are really good macro. We will just win by that.
They can win every game against every team, even against KC, they can stop.
And then in mid game and late game they can fall, so for us it's pretty important to keep mental as well.
To not do desperate plays when we are a bit behind, because as long as we play our games, normally we cannot lose.
I believe our mid game marker is better, so yeah, we need to stick to it.
I'm not sure what exactly happened in their teams, but if they can come with good mental and give it their all, of course.
It's very important for them to win.
It's either you feel like you need to perform well and you need to perform better
or you have this eye-opening to lose, but they have everything good to gain.
So then you perform out of your mind and you're like best 100%.
Well, SSTK is probably consistency and confidence.
I think that if you win three games, it will help us get confidence a lot.
And I think we will sing a ball. We will do well in playoff as well.
If we lose against Schifters Athletic, we might damage us a bit because right now when I look at it, we should be winning pretty comfortably against them.
And I think we will. So we just want to focus our game and we will do well.
But prone to make mistakes sometimes.
Good insight there from Navi who's walking me back to the cast.
Shifters and SK are out at Commiserations.
They will of course be playing, and Shifters will be playing the rest of this series.
Yeah, because for Navi it's still important that they win their series, then they can...
What happened here?
Oh, it's the fly!
It went in your mouth?
You guys got the...
And you're laughing at me!
I love you!
I love you!
And you're laughing at me!
I am laughing at you!
The second time it happened, I laughed at you again!
I mean... bro...
Yeah, well, yeah, that was the fly. The fly is still here, by the way.
It's still here! It's still lingering.
We'll see if it comes for a surprise attack.
It's following you. It likes you.
Are you stinky boys or something? What happened?
Why do we assume that?
I don't know, because flies are what?
What are flies attracted to?
Moldy cheese.
Great! Thank you for that!
for that. Jay, how do I transition from this Jay? What am I supposed to go from you accusing
me of smelling like Mulder cheese? I'm just saying that's the baseline but maybe you smell
I don't think you smell like that. Great. That's the most background. I'm going to bring you
into pick and ban. The fly attacked you but not me. I don't think it's really setting
the precedence here. Obviously that Navi are a step away from getting into playoffs.
We've had a pick and ban thingy, so the league client I can see, it's just having a moment.
So we're going to wait and see and tell you what happens next.
It's going to be quickly remade and then we're going to jump in.
Right, well, game two.
Yeah, take a seat.
The meta hasn't really changed that much since, well, yesterday.
Really?
So we're probably going to see the same sort of stuff.
The same patch.
The same team.
week surely next week is going to be the very next week is point nine yeah we've
had three small patches in a row and we're going to a monster patch yeah it's
like they're gonna change League of Legends you know well I hope so I hope so
I hope so I would love to see a bit more of a shake-up in the meta but love to
just see more mid laners in general right now it does feel like Orianna
rise just mage but I will say when you say shake-up in the meta we did just
have a Darius jungle game. That was cool. So and and we we saw a rally yesterday from
shift. I don't think the meta is that bad but also I think in the second game we're
going to get a little bit more of a taste of it. Let's find out how Varus, Nautilus
and Jarvan on your left side here is Navi on blue and we'll have first pick.
I see Sion, Orianna as you said. Those are the standards right. Caitlyn also taken
away for a strong bot lane pick. Ezreal's gone for people like Paddock with Ash
from CMD as well. So Lulu, Gunara, naturally rising priority. Yes yes yes, Nami Koki, naturally
rising priority. Yes, the range supports with Nautilus Khan is kind of the stock standard
right now and Pantheon. They're a really good strong jungler in the meta right now.
I mean they're all completely viable, they all work just fine. It is very much down
The preference, and it seems that Navi very much prefer the, so Navi prefer the Navi.
Now yesterday though, Chyptas did punish with a Lucian Milleot Bottom Lane.
True.
That we're seeing a bit more in the LCK, and they're going to do it again, predicting
it is going to be a Corking Army as you alluded to.
Nice, okay.
Yeah, Lucian on a bit of a win streak right now, winning two games in a row.
It was just big for a year when it was 0-1-17, or something like that.
It was 0-0-50.
Oh, we're still discussing.
It was it so clearly the buff doing wonders maybe this will be enough for
shifters to find a win here in this series as a reminder they cannot now
qualify for playoffs the reasons are more complicated than I have time to
explain but it is to do with win percentages and I will need you to
trust this so this side of Navi this series is still very important for
them a win will lock them in playoffs as they will get to six wins and
that's right now where you need to be. So Vi are going to be locked in, looking to be
the corky, kind of what we expected as it is a very powerful bot lane 2 vs 2.
Gives you a lot of agency, has a good amount of poke, Rilech wanting to have
a little bit of dive and lockdown to match up against the mobility from the Lucian.
What will they look to pair with it? Like R.E. Vi is a very common combo.
We often get Ambesa Vi is also an old school combo.
Although, I'd say old school, it's still played today.
But, I don't know the meaning.
Let's see what we get on the other side.
In terms of jungle for Bacarta, it could play anything.
That is a flex.
I think it is top.
I think it is top.
I think Rooster's Jace is definitely third.
It's very Korean, that's a Korean.
That is absolutely yes.
Now they can just ban away counterpicks.
So the thing is that Rooster doesn't want to have to do it for Manta.
They can get rid of Jorak as one.
wouldn't surprise me with Sion already banned.
I'm trying to think of some others.
I mean, Irelia is very annoying.
I doubt Maitreya is an Irelia player, but possibly.
But it might also negate the fact that, you know,
we've talked about it a lot.
Taking NAR into this, maybe off the board now
for Maitreya, he doesn't want to take that into the Jace.
They're getting rid of mid-lane bans anyway here for NARV.
I'm surprised they should pitch jungle, I feel.
Yeah.
I guess maybe they just don't care
about the jungle matchup? I mean that Pantheon is still open right? Yes. Wouldn't that be
one ban or are they too worried about pairing? I mean I think like... My instincts are also
saying like Skarner could also be good for shifters. Yeah. Just something frontline,
easy way to start fights. But maybe because already if you've got Lucian Melio and you've
got a Jace you've kind of got strong laners already so maybe you want to draft around
Enabling them wanting to fight one in the skirmish in which case yeah pantheon would offer a ton of value
But those are the other tank we're talking about or makes a ton of sense
They basically know that main two is usually a tank player
And so they're taking the tanks away from him and I basically say go on pick now pick something like that let rooster
Just dominate me kennels. They just play Cassante them. I mean that is an option
We talk about in game on for game. They don't all right now if you for sure one. Yeah, they're burning this under it
But they could also be going to a block. I was gonna say both both
So it's uh, both, the Los Andres band leads the both.
Now that you're out of playoffs, what have you got to lose?
Well, you could lose another series.
You could, but also you can start prepping towards summer.
True.
Well, you know how it goes, right?
The moment the states are off.
Oh yeah.
Okay, well now where are we going?
Yeah.
Is this Shen jungle or is this Shen top
or is Milio mid and Shen in support?
Milio mid, I mean I would have just said
Jace mid and Shen top but that's okay.
Or so possibly that.
Milian mid is where he went.
Yeah.
Is it weird that I thought they were more likely to play Milian mid than it was Jace mid?
Yeah, I would say a little bit historically speaking.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Yep.
Alright, Kassante is.
Okay, I just...
Yeah, I mean Kassante is fine.
He's a role player, he does his job.
So is it alright?
Yes.
How simple is this from Navi?
I mean it's fine.
It's got decent poke, it's got solid engage, you've got a front line to play around, it's very...
Narvi. The only way it could be more Narvi is if Reletra is playing some...
Ambassador jungle, like Age Rocks jungle.
Yeah, something like that. That's the only way it would be more Narvi.
That is a slam and Nubia.
So we know it's Shen jungle.
Do we know that?
We know that yeah, right is that confirmed? Well, I'll tell you in 25 seconds
It's Pucata just giving Ralech more ideas of what he can play for the rest of his life
Because he's cooking now. How does this comp work? Which one?
What do you think the basic one that every team play all this one with a bird and a ninja?
Like they can pick a side buddy. I think about just this so
So Shen's role here is to protect whatever target the Vi dives onto.
So it's kind of like a protect the president style of comp, which you'd often see with
like a Lulu, for example, but whereas Lulu can enable aggressors, the Shen plus the
Melio are better at defending.
And they have a long range pro comp that you've got with Jace to a degree with
And you've then also got an amivia that likes champions that come into them
So I think that it's kind of a cock that wants Navi to engage and they've got a lot of peel and they've got a lot of zone control
so I
Think that skirmishing is pretty good. I think that there's easy ways to make ganks happen
I think you've got a lot of cross map options
The question is is it creative enough to beat the stock standard of what Navi have cooked up?
because otherwise we'll be the last game of the weekend.
Now it goes 0-7 down and it'll be close to being perfect series in the LEC spring.
How last Shenzhen in the LEC was Yankos in 2020 summer.
But it did happen only yesterday with a twice grip and shout out.
I'm not sure if you're thinking of that in LCS.
I didn't check that game out. I didn't watch it.
We did get a river shen yesterday, but we have one here today with Hayler Blades.
So I'm looking forward to Bacata showing us why.
My instinct, so Vi is not a great early game jungler, in the sense that if you invade her
she can't do much about it.
I think Shen does very well into her, not only because I have Spirit's Refuge, where
okay cool you punched me harder, still doesn't do any damage.
But, I mean I guess Shifter does have push and talk.
They should anyway.
Yes.
I think mid is pretty even.
I wonder how bot's gonna go.
Well, I would find out.
I'm going to assume how to contrimby show this yesterday,
that no kind of saying it every Friday noon if they lost out.
Sustain was still there for the million.
Okay, it looks like they still got the early push.
So, she hasn't got a lot of lanes to play around.
I guess maybe it's the only place where I don't expect
Anivia to have much prior.
Yeah, kind of going as I expected.
The thing about Anivia though is,
Ari takes a while to get wave clear.
She kind of needs the first item before she can start
really melting through waves.
Anivia just needs level six.
R.E. can't really contest the wave clear once that level 6 does come through, but early on it should be relatively easy for the R.E. to trade against K.N.W.A.
The Picado is partly torn apart.
Service zooming, you know what that means.
Big tripe.
I know what you're up to.
You do a little zoom, don't you? You do a little zoom.
Ooh, nice poke.
Very, very nice poke coming through for that level 2 secured.
Goes for a nice trade.
Hands advantage, running the exhaust.
Okay, so they really want to do anti-dark.
Flash, Shadow Dash, oi!
Pokedi responds.
I think I was gonna miss even if he didn't fly. I think it was close to missing. Yeah. Yeah, we'll sell flash a flash
Hey, you take it you do
So now you can come back before levels thing. We'll see if he looks for another play in terms of clear speed
We can see that well that cheese powering through his jungle. He did get pinged out on his red
So they're estimating that he is in that area. You can see the red pings right now. He is on Krugs
The alarm is coming down. They are warning the bot lane of shifters that he is in the vicinity.
Let's get in that first plate though. That's why they want to step up.
Nuke meanwhile we go back. He gets electrocuted. Good charm.
All the deception. Closer to getting the egg and with a bit of fox fire, they would succeed.
But Padaq and Trippie are stepping up in this lane.
That's because they have relentless pursuit of Radaq.
Padaq, guys, he steps into Paris, gets a trade.
Relerch is getting baited in as Picard is now hovering around the area.
And Relerch actually just siphons some experience from the lane to get level 4.
also a slight EFP advantage is, Bucada and Legend are just staring at each other, ships
in the night, well ships in the day really.
But there's a huge health advantage for the shifters bot lane 2 vs 2, the problem is mid
lane.
That is where Nabi has prior, Bucada does not.
So here's the consequences of going for that other gank.
He has not cleared his walls, he is still behind the next P. Mid lane prior still goes
the way of Poby.
The difference maker is going to P, Rooster.
Rooster help Bucada get this top crab.
The pings are coming, Rooster does not care.
No he does not.
Rooster, please.
That does work out.
Bucada can pull the fork back at it, as you said.
Denying the damage is nice.
Bucada does get the crab.
Does get it.
That's a win.
So, Rooster's contribution rose.
The enemy top isn't going to get involved.
But it's on you, bro.
Yeah.
Gets the spike, does secure the trade.
Nice.
Confidence, Paris.
Let's move forward.
Arcane shift, or rather, excuse me.
Excuse me. The actual present forward, Sandeep is now exhausted. He has to flush away Paddock looking a match
But the ebb and flow heals him up. Good heal. Paddock from pushing the flash. Very very good heal
But shifters bot lane winning out on the two versus two. There's a big wave here that Sandeep really doesn't want to lose
Paris, I don't think he has enough mana though to heal even if he wanted to.
Ooh, dive this forward. I mean, he's scared.
He's gonna flush as well. Piecing light flash. Auto under Sandeep. It's clean! It's so dense!
It's still a win for shifters. It's 100% still a win. You deny that whole wave from Sandy and it's a trade where Padaq gets the kill, but Paras gets it on the other side, so the Lucian is still very happy with how this played out.
Andy saw that wave and said, please, I need to get it.
Has the barrier available?
The ebb and flow comes through.
A nice knockback from Trembi, though.
While he's mid-flight,
Puduck does his best to get the W
to try and proc the passive,
thinking that's enough,
but he dies before the W goes off,
and it's able to land a double auto.
You see that Arden Blaze went into the minion wave as well.
Unfortunately, he couldn't block by the minions.
W minions from Navi.
But as you said, Puduck got the wave in,
so that's still a big deal.
I found that picked up as a main to another level six.
Otherwise it would have been an all-out onto Rooster there.
He holds away for a little bit.
Level 6 will be encroached upon the next minion that he kills, which will be the cannon.
And that camera might pop up there again to see if Mainter can do anything about it.
Meanwhile, 2v2 and bot continues to siphon some of that time, but really no problem with that.
His paddock and trimmie shot us yesterday.
I mean, they're willing to stand it.
This is what I loved about paddock on the Lucian, is that on midway he was
always just ulting consistently.
Kind of doing like the Jackie Love, the Elk special of what we know about good Lucians.
And I'm speaking from LPL experience, I've been in the Castle region for a long time.
So like, we're all the same deal.
Well, I mean, I'll shout at Ash, catching out, suit in, Sandeep in trouble.
Fosher's from the massive work!
Parak gets the kill, but he gets flashed on by Reledge, who matches.
Oh my god, the surround, Betty!
Makes it so Reledge takes two down long to get the kill.
The flashed one from Jimmy, the warm hugs, the campfire down,
and relax as he flushes out, will build the space.
Shippers can't get the response kill, ends up being a 1-1.
A very tense skirmish, but it's Paduck that gets another kill.
Bucada will get himself the crab.
Question marks have to be raised.
Does Sandy walk to the melee range of that brush?
Thinking that he's safe, he has no respect
for the possibility of an enemy general being there.
But look at this positioning from Sandy.
He gets so close to that, oh, his intent is to drop a ward.
So that does make sense.
Good bubble from Paris to keep Sambi alive a little bit longer.
He gets the phosphorus bomb out, landing onto Boatrimby and Paduck.
But then the Spirit's refuge, keeping Paduck alive long enough to force the kill onto Paris once again.
So I would argue that once more, an advantage game for shifters, even though it's a 1 for 1 because it's Lucien that gets the kill and then Nami for the side of Nami.
Well, Paduck, 600 gold up, you're right. I mean, it does feel like, again, Paris getting the kills, only gonna amplify.
Getting that first item quicker, but for Paddock, that trading is going to come super explosive.
You see already as SamD walks forward, he's in trouble. It hits level 6, so...
Now has to build up to the big one. Stepping into Paris is Paddock, but here's the culling now,
as well as the 2v2 continues to advance. There's the culling into Paris. Heal burnt immediately.
The lenders pursuit out of the way. The phosphorus bomb.
Barthas, the trading never ends there. Crystalize comes out.
Poby gots away from the Flash Frost. Orbis' Session doesn't do much,
Oh, yeah.
A bit of frost fight for Poby's little post.
Poby, you can't stay.
You're going to die.
You have to leave.
Yeah, you just have to accept that those minions are gone.
Yeah, nice.
Very nice trading out from Nuke.
Now he's got the way of a great spot.
He can hold it in the middle lane.
Poby doesn't have TPI there,
so really nice advantage game there from Nuke.
And the one who's not.
Good aqua prison.
No Valkyrie forward.
Tramina bit of trouble.
He's dodging away from the Gatling Gun,
alive with the autos.
But Sam D is down pretty, pretty deep.
Panak running out of mana though.
Cosy Gampi is healing, he's not making him okay, and here's Piccata once again.
He brings in the twilight and rather than playing, the auto gets a kill.
Shifters are in and out with a kill as Rilech can't much in time.
Okay, Piccata has to commit his flash. He's using that thing off cooldown in this game.
Trimby gonna act as bodyguard to keep Paris away, allowing Piccata to go back to base.
Remember that Piccata also has his ulti available ready to join the fray at any moment.
But hey, another kill, going the way of shifters, as Sandi and Paris, they tried to go for a 2v2 skirmish.
They tried to get a kill back for themselves, but they ended up falling short,
and the shifters that find themselves another advantage.
Shimo on the top lane, Bruce is doing pretty well as well.
Gets knocked back, Mainter about to get ranged, but not to death, you think.
Shock blast combo.
He's gonna whip, so Mainter can stand on his legs a little bit longer as his TP is up in about 20 to 30 seconds.
He's going to time it until this next wave so they can just keep you back.
Reletch coming up.
Can they do anything? All out is available.
They definitely can do something.
W issues, that part making out down.
But Rook said Rook's done it with so much respect.
He knows that Ahri's missing. Look at all those things.
Yeah.
They're very, very alert.
Not for one for it.
This will be the grub started off, but Shippe's is
conversely cross-mapping as they start off the dragon.
So the Shem jungle going better than the Darius has so far.
Yeah, it is, uh, marginally better.
I mean, I feel like very different picks, but you're right.
And the ganking here from Bricardo, his mobility being used well,
and now he has stand united.
So he's got that global pressure.
And as you said in draft, the defensive capabilities that come from Shenjong,
now that he's six, have marginally improved as well.
Yeah, it very much feels like...
Nuke is sidestepping, it's a buggery,
nice little, uh, unbelievable frostbite of the particles serving well,
Glacier Strong will get the push, Poby is going to have to TP back in.
Culling in the bot lane, in the meanwhile, Sandee a little bit low,
peacing like that's the neck, double auto.
Kharakasa set back for the turret, meanwhile Poby, I guess he's stuck around,
you can look in for him.
There we go, the crystallized M, Poby has to bring out the ulti.
Box now without the spirit rush, as Poby clues the wave and won't have to back away.
Yeah, I mean just continued, nice trading from Nuke,
he was down about two waves in the one versus one,
but he's been able to bring it back simply due to outperforming Poby in the lane.
He's going to force the TP out from Poby, not going to be too much of an issue for the R.E. though in the 1 vs 1, as with no major objective on the map available.
We return to a state of farming and trading and fighting and skirmishing.
Rukada though going for an invade.
Oh, big views. He's got the harnesses, his first start on the other one.
Proto-Plazin.
That's the one.
He's going to steal away those raptors. He might be fishing for more. He might be a little bit greedy though.
Everyone's using on the map.
I need for some kind of face check.
Trimby's there as well.
I have to have known that.
Because Arya has no ult man.
That's true.
So, it was a hopey splash.
Parris coming in.
Bug of war.
Hello.
Okay, who's there?
Wait.
Picard of Staminao gets the flash.
Charm does connect in the actual prison as well.
All perception of the ladders.
Parris gets chunked.
Oh my god, Nuke's damage hurts.
Here we go.
Vaultbreaker in.
Trimby may be in trouble.
Remember, he should have that breath of light.
He's going to be healed up.
Staminao, he flashes away, puts a fire down, and Nuke now looking for the
the chase. Let's get out of the wall with a vault breaker as Bucada still on the chase.
Once again the second shadow dash down but with a blast cone in the way, shift is going
to back off the note I would say. I mean, the secret service doing his job right there.
Perfect protection, right? Melio is the target, very squishy, but he's able to get
away to safety thanks to the shooting that came through from Bucada and also the
utility that he provided. I'm already seeing the value and creativeness of the strap
when the fight goes in. It's very difficult to just keep that fight going and Nibio
will get struck. Oh, Puddock jumping in,
ball-maker Flush, breath of wind,
and gonna set you up. However, Puddock
set up the Kullian melee range.
Really couldn't have any more damage.
It flicks on the Zandy.
Puddock does it again.
Two days in a row of his Lucian kicking ass.
How is it that once the pressure is off,
once the stakes are no longer there,
teams suddenly find that this level of performance,
Puddock is just steer-rolling in the bot lane two versus two.
He's going to get game but there's a wall there, it's a relatch.
I mean he flash vault break it for that.
And Paddock just stood his ground. I thought that dude was dead.
Yeah, the ulti from Trimby comes through quickly.
It comes out, gets the heal, commits to the fight, commits the calling,
wants Sandi Valkyries away.
Paddock is like, yeah, don't care. Chases him down, gets another kill.
Double secured by the shifter's AD carry.
I think this also shows you why the Lucian Miller is so strong.
Ardent sense of first item for Trimby here with the Kraken for Padak on his Lucian and
They've now just picked up their roll quest as well to boot
I mean such a massive injection of gold. I think
Another advantage that Lucian has being able to go armor boots. It's just so good. It's just so so good
He's got them yet, but yeah, they are good. No, no, for Padak he does. Yeah, he's got them upgraded
I'm still living in 2035. It's all good, bro
But yeah, he does have those upgraded armor boots and it just means that the trading is that much more effective, right?
So
Yeah, I mean shift is in a fantastic position here in the other game because when you comfortably on the 1v1 in mid
They've got rooster continually building a lead in the top lane and in bot lane
Reletch is do you think they can two be three?
Yeah, that's my question
He does have exhaust in DC since it's locks him down aqua prison beautiful
The Britain Life won't save his life this time, a shut down.
Sam D picks up the kill, first one.
Even through the exhaust, Sam D and Relach have the damage to take out for Duck.
A much needed pick that Navi needed to find as they invest some gold back into Sam D,
who gets his first kill of the game.
I guess the question was answered whether they could 2v3 with the layering of CC
without the stand united that Piccardo will have up in five seconds.
He was a sitting duck and no pun intended.
That's a good one for me.
I'm sure it's never been done before.
I know, but I don't have any good ones, you know.
My hymn is a one out of ten in most cases, and really do I ever hit?
If I do say so, I did say so for myself.
25 seconds of the drake, the first one picked up, I shifted.
Herald and Topside.
Can't be set up after this.
Rooster's quite deep, Nager's going to flash, Opaacnaker catches out.
Rooster, the all-out play had been pulled.
And Paris with the game for the titleways.
Rooster flashed away from it.
Stan United has been pulled in.
about a Shadow Dash, but thinking from Poby stops the play. Unfortunately, now he didn't
hear anything. What a strange play you've got. It's a bloating fish coming again. They
have Poby TP top kind of late, and then they had a gank from Paris. And look at the consequences.
I mean, Betty Bot is open, miss getting shoved. Yep. There's an issue here. Yeah, no, great
awareness there, because Shifter's just cross-macked. Everywhere, you've committed three people
topside that just opens up the rest of the map for shifters to do whatever they
want they're not rotating back towards the dragon right now it seems that mid
prior is their focus so they've got insight as to where Rilech is
he's popping away from this dragon
the card is popping towards it Rilech is going up towards a Herald instead
he's been spotted on the ward so it brings in that twilight assault he
would have started off good little damage from ruseb he's on the weak
side of the map for legends, but the gank is set, it's very harsh going to be used,
six and it's hit, an easy charm here and the damage needs to come down now.
But for a ledge, it's knocked into the target, every static, Sam!
He's out as well!
The knockback was cheeky, but for a ledge, it's on the wrong side of dodge.
It's going into Paris, Unleash setting up into Sam, D-neck,
Parker's one out of mana, but shifters are taking over and off the line.
Shifters are just out playing Navi right now. It's consistently happening in the bot lane.
Rooster gets an outplay, he's on it, we've got flashes!
Oh, 4-7, that's as well, that's a twirl, it's not one more time!
For the second time, Paris will lay dead.
The Shifters are now opened up their windows towards the mid lane,
and towards his goal lead, expanding from 3,000.
Wow, Shifters, they came to play here in game two.
A phenomenal early game lead.
As they are just out playing Navi across the board.
They're ahead in dragons, they conceded the grog, but it really doesn't matter.
Their next focus should be the Herald.
As we look back at this play, it's super important for Rooster to get underneath the tower.
He needs that extra bit of damage and he's able to do it.
The ulti comes through, the charm connects.
Yes, the chase is here, but he's starting to stack up on Reledge.
And the charm drags Rooster behind Reledge,
enabling him to get the knockback underneath the tower,
and then Poby's Q cooldown comes off too late,
meaning he can't actually get that kill.
Bruce is in a great position for Alain that consistently getting ganked. Here we go,
Vaultbreaker, and again he just jumps on Poby. He gets shot again, but guess what?
Stan United! Here's a ninja, but he's not in pajamas.
There's Vaultbreaker away. Relection about Bob the Gentleman maker.
Instead of deciding to teleport in for the play, but now he's caught out,
he's getting whittled down. Bruce just ranges the problem, and doesn't
Poby know it. If he has to run for the Hills River Latch, take that tarot shot again.
But here's Tana, a free kill waiting for him, and shift as the pressure is on,
And the game is on!
Shifters are winning everywhere!
They get the bot tower, they win the skirmish top.
Narvi, they're getting desperate, they're trying to make a play of bubble, does connect.
Make a fly, kick with a total wave as well, breath of light, get them out.
The shifters are going to turn this fight but can't look into the shadow dash, but he has no flash to match and kick the fish in the teeth.
You can get an open up mid wave with the side of Parak as well.
Remember, Harold has not been taken, so topside is all shifters.
But if they can get a little bit more damage down, and this should be enough, they can use the arrow to secure that mid tower.
They might not even need it.
I mean, they're just taking the kill on it, they're not culling into Sandeva.
Breeze is mad!
Pada gets crazy!
Parasolman dives the art and plays!
And this 7 and 3 dilution is putting on a clinic to let other LSD 80 carries know how to play it.
Beautiful tower dive comes through from shifters.
Nuke tanks it up.
A flash away from the bubble.
And now a Stubborn tomato.
I mean, he's close to dying.
Russo wants to dive in.
Angel survives, but the turret does not.
18 minutes in and it's a 6.6k gold lead for shifters.
What a phenomenal early game performance.
You highlighted it.
Seven kills for Paduck.
This Lucian has been fantastic for shifters.
I think it was great yesterday as well.
We're getting remnants of the players.
It's just diving, Sandi.
Yeah, I mean, so Sandi's doing his best to clear the wave,
but Nuke's control with this amivia is simply flawless.
He tanks up the tower as well to allow the product
to do whatever he wants to do.
He doesn't die to the tower either.
Just beautifully played.
Jakarta's waiting.
Relentious walking into the brush.
Here's the twilight assault again.
Shadow Dash down.
And that spirit's refuge wins.
The damage going to stop on the blue buff.
It's a steal.
Makata yawinks it.
Vaultbreaker out.
Now Manch is in trouble.
Shatter that shot with a wall, and this Lucian comes in, rated a free-fire,
particle taken down.
And this is remarkable. I mean, Navi doesn't set a chance in his second game.
And I didn't shift this like this every game.
They feel like one of the best teams in the league.
Yeah, I mean...
I do wonder how much it affected Navi, the pressure's off.
Paris, he's got the pick.
And I... Can you...
Wow! Like, obviously, Pidak is the star of the show, but Nuke!
What an Anivia game for Anivia.
Anivia yesterday was fantastic as well.
But really, Nuka's really shined this weekend.
His Anivia is spectacular.
What a game.
Shifters are accelerating this league
at dramatic fashion and the conversation for the split
has been, will shifters throw the mid game?
I have to say that from this position,
it feels like a foregone conclusion.
The shifters are looking to bring us the game.
You don't believe in cursors needed to I've added that's where at least for once we can agree on something
Cursors are rubbish. They don't exist. There's a shifter's game. It's 8.5 K
Dragons coming up in 35 that looks free Bruce is gonna get to push into the inner to bot lane and I
Mean the funny thing is we've got a shen jungle now with a dusk and dawn so the damage is gonna be immense
But it really has been
Let me do some quick math
Do you think one six five eight point six thirty point six
He does
Cassante by Ari Nami if you combine all of those Lucian still done more damage, okay?
The Corki would push it over the edge, but I'm the Jastor
Yeah, yeah
So I mean it's really nice because like Patax Ezreal similar but always going forward
It's a basic analysis of something that's a little bit more complex, but it's enough for you all at home to understand.
The product just sends it. And I don't think I've given Trimby any credit this game, but Trimby's been super clean positioning.
He's been a lot better than I think it was yesterday on this calmer.
But 0-0 and 10, he's just enabling Parak.
So, E-allusion is now good?
Is it all different now?
But the problem is, one of the wins at work, which is 3 out of 3 wins.
It doesn't matter. They're in EU. That's all that matters.
Sorry, I didn't bring it up. So it doesn't matter.
We should look at the win rate of EUJs and EU Lucian recently.
Okay, we should just throw that out there.
Okay. Okay.
I can do a lot of search.
Actually, maybe don't look at EUJs, because Rooster has played a lot of them
and the ship doesn't want a lot.
I mean, in spring, it's currently a 2 out of 3 win.
If this is the win, it'll be a 3 out of 4.
Okay, fair.
So that's just perhaps we're changing the perception of EU and these specific champions got a lot of red
Chases to him seven. Oh, okay. That's good that we can do that one
But yeah, that's that's nine games in total with jungle in there as well. Rusa is a one and four
This split. Okay. So we'll forget the Jace. Yeah focus on the looser
Because he's eight and three this game in the same day runs for his wife
I think now moving this river might be a bit of a mistake
Bucard is coming in, flash from the Shadow Dash, it's Ralech.
Crystal Lies is zoning off everyone as Nuke with the egg up and ready.
He's just running into the enemy team.
Navi on the defense here for the inner, as Baron is the next question mark, while Nuke has top push.
Ooh, I mean, Baron is how they throw the game.
I don't think that they need to do Baron.
I think this use of the Herald makes a lot more sense.
Yep.
There should be an easy objective secured as well.
Is that all I'm gonna get in it?
That doesn't look like it.
It'll just get a charge anyway.
I think there should be a tower secured.
Yeah, it's gone.
Everyone locked down.
So credit to Bucada.
I was a little bit skeptical of the shen,
but it has worked beautifully.
1-0-5 the score line.
And he's got that all poised and ready to go.
Seems like he's going to a similar build
that we've seen from Broken Blade when he played
at top lane.
Yeah.
This is the third item he's going to be.
Because we've had.
But this is, I just got to say,
you know I spoke about the meta
at the beginning of this game.
Oh, sorry.
I thought you were going to reference your podcast game.
I thought about how Reletched did this interview where
LEC teams are just afraid to try new things,
because they said they're talking about how,
you know, I want to play as a return ball.
Oh yeah.
Right, and so I'm like,
there's so many champions in the game,
I do love it when pros bring that creativity to the stage.
What's not that's connect?
Reletch, that ballparker goes nowhere,
product sends down the culling,
Paris only gets a tickle of it,
but she's the form line ready to go in once again.
Mates is here out of the wall,
crystallized, not going to connect,
or rather the flash.
Frost, Narvi still on there, lined up legs, wondering if it's safe to go in, keeping him from rooster.
With all this control, shifters can definitely consider a Baron start soon. They've got complete vision coverage.
Narvi can't see anything on the top side. They've gone the flash out from the ledge earlier on.
Mega far away.
And they have to face check in the Nivea, which I can tell you right now is not a fun thing.
Yeah, and it's going to be main to do it. He's going to go in the banana rush first.
There we go, five frosts and running away with a Valkyrie, Sam D.
Rooster turns as Baron is just a forethought.
Trim is going to be healed up with Cody Camp,
by a good poke from the big one from Sam D.
And to Navi's credit, they are hitting some long range hits.
But again, they have to face check.
And you can hold this ground.
Look at the box positioning.
He's like, come on, face check.
The idea, you.
You didn't even have Trimby next to him,
but he's still thinking about it.
Looks like they're just going to go back to base.
So the idea behind that Baron was
goes Narvi into a fight that they very well just lost Narvi the game. They were able to
not really burn anything. They tested the waters, Narvi did come and check, they're able to get away
safely and so now really it's just bought a little bit of time for the dragon to spawn. That top
wave a lot of fun has been lost for Narvi as they have been overgrouped. The shifters now
want to get pushed in the middle lane, they likely want to push another wave bot. Yeah,
they're going to send you down now to go and grab that wave and then they can very much
start thinking about this dragon. Haddock I'm gonna give an arm because it looks like we could have an
infinity edge fourth here and as you just pick up the LDR about five or ten minutes ago time is
irrelevant to me because it doesn't feel like a 25 minute game without dominating it's been from
shifters but that infinity edge infinite is gonna be that fourth item is still very important
and just means more one shot capability from paddock who's already having a ripper of a
game 35 seconds of the drake that he talked about being prior that would be
an early soul. One of the earliest souls of this weekend I feel as Relentless
spotted out on a ward and he's caught out but Piccata is not going to
commit anything trying to find a kill.
He's going to lock it by the way Piccata, third item.
Poby's been given a small window where he can farm this. He needs to go back to base
them or go to can ahead of the dragon spawning. His shift is knowing that
they have numbers they're able to get very deep vision look at that
of the minimap. You can see them pushing in very deep into that bot side, general of
Navi. Cow are going to be secured and Dragon we started off. I think that yeah, Navi's way
too late to even consider contesting this. They're going to have to back in there.
I mean, let you top, so yeah, they're definitely like, we're not getting this. We're going
to try and elderflip, they say.
Well, I don't know if they'll wait that long.
I don't know if they'll get that long.
Yeah, but yeah, so, so just gone, right? Navi basically saying we can't win a fight
right now. We'll have to stall the game out as long as we can. Credit to them.
Good control from shifters throughout this game, 12 kills to 3 day advantage, 7k to go and be sold now secured.
A speedy shifters.
So, after this weekend, are you gonna say you're excited for shifters?
Like, are you gonna go back to LEC to Berlin and be like, I'm really looking forward to seeing shifters?
Well, they've only got two series left.
I know, but...
And they're basically playing spoiler at this point.
Doesn't it make you excited?
Like, thinking about the possibility?
I mean, I'm more sad about the wasted potential of the team, you know?
Yeah, you'll be fine.
They've clearly demonstrated that they've got the hands to compete, just to...
I think it's been the same story, the coordination from this team just hasn't been there.
They've come so close so many times, but they've not really been able to find that missing piece
and they knew that it was Shen jungle that they needed.
I wouldn't put it down to that, but sure, that's fair.
Oh, that is a missed call.
No, he's holding a pose. You just know it's over.
Paduck is culling again, Akko printing Dutch away from, rest of the culling hit, the flash!
Paduck almost ones up, Paris!
A red buff would have gotten him a kill there.
And would have indeed, Mainz is going to get the turret in the meantime when she gets some gold back here to Navi, but the Baron is up.
And at the very least the threat is there as Shep is trying to draw Navi in.
Yeah, they can't start the game, they've just committed a lot.
I don't think Paduck committing his flash to kill Paris was worth it personally.
Well, I don't think Nuke pulling Seekers was worth it either, you know?
Yeah, that was another ideal play.
Now, we have gotten back almost 2,000 gold now,
but Schifters is going to take the fight towards the mid lane.
Paddock steps up again, even in 5-4, Relentz freezing again.
Perkz in trouble, good AOE, the best of luck.
We're tied away, but we're all no.
Oh, no, Schifters.
Have we spoken too soon?
Relentz goes deep, but at least Nuka's holding his ground.
I thought, like, Fiat Mainzer, he's a squishy man.
And Nuka's still going to explode that explosion.
He comes from Rooster, jumping in on the sand,
B, running for his life.
It's a problem to get stunned up for that good present.
And he survived as well until the fail.
If Rooster can't do it, you will help him, and product dies, but the rest fine success.
Wow, that was a very scary fight for Shifters.
That wasn't a good fight.
That's product drops almost immediately.
Come back to that flash question.
Was it worth flashing to try and kill the Nami?
I mean, he put himself in such a precarious position, but Shifters, they ended up coming out on top.
It was the arrival of Nuke, who was the biggest difference maker, I feel.
The damage that he brought to the fight was a game changer.
And now the TPs will come through, the respawns will happen,
and the Baron will be kicked off, like shit does.
And surely taken as well, we get on the replay,
because this was an absolute cluster of a fight.
Yes, so the dash gets used,
Ralech sees that, oh, fantastic engage from Ralech.
The title wave, the combo, everything looks spectacular as the fight starts off.
But in the arrival of Nuke, a big wall to cut up, Narvi in the midst of the fight.
Good damage comes down, oh we've got to go back to life.
Because yeah, it's hard to be too deep in the line of spirit rush, immediately get down to college is an execution.
Now Pada brings the game back, and even though mid is in the open, a bit more pressure on the top lane, as Baron was taking the replay.
My goodness, yeah, so Padaw shows you what happens if you don't kill him instantly.
Yeah, the damage is quite insane. Now with the Baron buff they are pushing mid and bot,
but they're going for a quick reset.
Oh my goodness, the tower just simply melts. We're at that point in the game, I mean it's
only 30 minutes.
And Shifter's now looking to try and close this one out. Equalize the series one to
one. Reminder that Na'Vi, the indication to the series is if they win they look
as one class, if they lose, there'll still be more opportunities for them.
Yeah, Casey winning later would lock them in as well today by the way.
So, Nabi's overall in a very good position, but they'd like to win the series if they can,
but it doesn't look like they win in this game.
Well, they're on their last legs, I mean despite that fight going a little bit rickety,
Jepta's still in the position to close it out, 11,000 gold and double inhibitor down,
easing Baron on these two waves to crush Nabi's spirit for the second game.
And let's see, Padak is front-lining now, the confidence with the cozy campfire is
all those big relets just going deep for him as well, all hands on deck, it's
Tidewave tries to stand on his world at this time.
Shifters have got back up.
Tadak takes a kill.
Opens up and necks his time.
Pobius, the spear, rush away.
And Newt, look at him.
He sends out Flush Frost after Flush Frost
with a glacial storm and a big wall.
Now we have to go the long way around.
As Rook takes Main to up the town,
Sam D running for his life is a game.
It's a storm.
It's a prison.
It's glacial terrain that Nali
now has to go to game three to face.
Shifters step up here in game 2.
Produx, Lucien, Nukes and Evia.
Roosters, Chase, and the River Shen.
What a drive. What great play.
Shifters, they cooked up something beautiful.
And they'll look to bring us the game grid.
That game we got a rally yesterday and we got River Shen today.
The sky's the limit for Shifters drafts.
to try to be out of one sense to break down another banger shifters game. It was a banger
game. It really was. I think four shifters allowing Bucard to play something a little
bit more inventive in the jungle is good. Having someone that can apply CC is good as
well. And then also having Paduck just absolutely important people. Paduck's mission is kind
of sick. Yeah, kind of good. He kind of makes a magic happen and I also want to
go back to the Pocata Shen because if I had to go up, Loken Kisante against Ruser's Jace,
knowing he has Pocata on speed dial, at the moment noticed whenever I look for my all-in,
that would be crazy. But let's talk about the man in the bot lane. I think he was more
under somebody's tower than he was himself. He was constantly looking for his dials, constantly
looking for his big chunks. And it seems like every time he picks this champion
into the Corki, he just makes magic happen.
he's constantly taking the
exhausted as well, and it just
feels like it makes the matchup
so unplayable. You can see here
like the second you try to go
aggressive as Sam D exhaust comes
out, it makes it very difficult to
try and trade back. So, but look
is confident and taken so many of
these trades. And even then just
the hands on this man are
absurd. He outplays his opponent
so well with the dashes, making
this champion look like like it
didn't have a 15 loss streak
in the LEC. Like he this is
It's insane. It's just a huge amount of damage coming out from Biduck.
Credit to Trimby as well. His position against one of those fights too.
They have the breath of life in the right position.
Really nicely done all round from the shifters bot lane.
Unfortunately, too little to like for them as an organization here,
at least making playoffs.
So it's one of those weird ones where yesterday we saw
when all of the pressure was on them against KC,
they were able to step up.
And now when all the pressure is off them, they're able to step up.
Well, you see that's a lot off of the teams.
When it's just the pressure is off,
You actually get a chance to have a bit of breathing room and then you're no longer kind of shaking your head going
Oh my god. Why aren't we doing this? It's just a a lot. Let's throw it at the wall and see what sticks
I mean, I just want to go back to the little trimby sound bit. We're yesterday where they were losing horribly against KC
But we hear trimby speak up and he says guys. I just want to fight
Can we please go out with honor? Yeah, and I think this highlights exactly that mentality shift in
in shifters. The fact that they are taking the fights, they don't care that the fight might be bad, and it's working for them.
They're showing so much more aggression, they're showing so much more passion, and so much more vision.
Yeah, and for Navi on the other side, they tried to do things in the early game. They realized they couldn't play through bot side, so they said,
let's play through top. Let's try and get Rooster behind. He's already ahead on this chase, as you expect him to be, because of how good he is laning wise.
But Rooster was just unflappable in this top line.
Yeah, and I think a large portion of that was what they'd already kind of alluded to.
the fact that you had the Shen in the back pocket made these a potential place to the topside.
Really, really difficult to happen.
But even then, Rooster played these fights so well that even when Navi tried to make the plays happen,
the knockbacks were there, he was making it look easy on getting these kills.
Yeah, I mean, even here, just pure mechanical prowess there, finding the E-buffered knocked by into the tower.
And here you see again, they're going in, but he's going forward, he knows the Shen is there.
And he's just completely confident, not only in his own mechanics,
but his champion and he's piloting so well.
And I feel like it just comes with Rooster and Padaque,
but also Nukes and Evie, it's all of these players stepping up.
It's not one individual.
It's finally we're seeing a shifter that is united
and not just because Shen is standing united with them,
but just because they have found this magic again.
And I think Rooster like embodies that shift
that we're seeing in the top lane as well.
Like we're constantly getting the Jason's,
we're constantly getting these ranged carries from,
and he looks absolutely spectacular.
And now if you can bring things like the Shen jungle,
things that can protect him in the top side. He has been spectacular at getting early leads,
turning them into massive wins for shifters. And as you say, unfortunately, it's a little
too late. But I am all eyes on Rooster for the rest of his time. He that he's in the
LEC, it looks fantastic. I mean, turns out when we found shifters
struggling to end games because they're gold leads, they just have to get bigger
gold leads. I mean, it's really hard to throw an 11k gold lead at that point.
The game is pretty much in the bag. I will say there was one really cute attempt
in the mid lane there, by Rilech after Lucian flashed in really early, Rilech actually finds
the angle, I would love if we can bring that clip up so we can really highlight, because
Navi still had some fights in them, there was still a lot of unity in them, and the fact
that if you look at his fight here, but that walks up, and the moment he uses dash here,
Rilech goes for the fight, Q flash, ult, and if this game was anywhere closer in
gold, this would be a Y for Navi in favour of Navi, but the fact that if it's
So far behind means they don't end up. Also if Roosa wasn't as good as he is.
Joachim's opus goes in. He's like, oh, you're engaging on my AD carry.
I will just assassinate your mid laner, and then you don't have that extra damage to the end of the fight here.
Roosa and Nuke have so much damage compared to the Na'Vi members remaining,
and at the end, Samdi and Paris just can't get away.
It is really interesting to see how teams do step up when they are either put on the back foot or just totally out of the competition.
competition, but Navi on the other hand, again it's a failure state really for them in this
series, right? The first game wasn't as successful as they'd like it to be. This weekend hasn't
been as successful as they'd like it to be. Still, if they win this game, this next one
coming up, they are qualified for playoffs, but what do we need to see out of them that
is really going to give us a bit more confidence in this lineup?
I mean, we heard from the Rock talking about it here on this very desk yesterday
that their drafts are a little bit different.
And I would like to bring up the drafts
because the rock is cooking, not that much right now
because if you bring up this draft,
the fact that they had Vi, Ari, and Cassante,
these were all kind of facilitating champions.
Sure, they have damage,
but the fact that all your eggs is in this corky basket,
the fact that somebody kind of had to get ahead
to be able to have enough damage
to threaten this comp that shifters had built
means that if he falls behind like it was in lane,
the entire comp just falls apart.
And I think they need to draft a little bit more frets,
because right now it doesn't seem that they can rely on one person
unless that man is reletched to carry the game.
Yeah, and I think it is interesting, because again,
we're seeing this shift away from what Reletch has been renowned for.
You know, we're not seeing this at hands, we're not seeing the atroxies,
we're not seeing this prowess in the early lanes that can then lend into early skirmishes,
which is where Na'Vi were funding their success to bleed into dragons.
Instead, we're trying to see them go for stalls where it's much more of a reletched playing for lanes,
and it just hasn't been working as well.
And I think if this ends up being kind of a common thread,
it then becomes a very big conversation when you get to playoffs.
Because if it then just becomes,
alright, we banned a bunch of champions that Ralech is decent on,
it doesn't seem like they can interact with the lanes then,
I think that becomes a very big talking point.
So I need to see more from Navi,
just to give me confidence that they aren't this 1-2 team.
I mean, not just banning Ralech,
just look at what they're banning every single game.
They're banning the Sion.
And the Sion is by far the best blind pick top tank to throw off there.
Because you see, Kassanthi was picked into Jace.
But this is how the matchup goes. He will struggle heavily in this matchup.
He's trying to pick Qusante as a neutralizer for the Jays, but he's still losing.
What would you like to see in the Jays, then?
I mean, I would like to see the Jays banned if I'm playing as Rooster.
If you want to counter pick the Jays, the answer that you have is like the Barus.
Because the Barus can go toe-to-toe with the Jays, but if you're not willing to take that heat,
you kind of have to go for a Orn, a Qusante.
A Malfight even, but in the end, it doesn't really work out in the same way,
because when that sign is out, that means Rilech has to bring a little bit more to the pool or you end up with this
Getting a little massive hold in the top side, which you can't really feel with anything
Okay, so as we get into game three, I want to get you guys predictions
We haven't done this that much this weekend
But Navi or shifters and now we're gonna lock playoffs so we're gonna see see shifters deny them that for at least another week
I mean I try to run through my head one of the champions that are still left open available
I feel like the the magic champions for shifters may be taken away
Now God only knows because it feels like they're pulling the like the rally's in the Viengans
Maybe they're still there, you know what and I think for Navi
This may be just where we see them go back to what has been working like a lot of those champions that are still there for
Elect are still there things like the Lulu you know, it could be high options
I think it should be Navi taking a put shift is having pressed here
I mean I will say I think Navi's I mean shifters gaming today is immaculate. I think nuke and rooster
Not only today, but also yesterday are really stepping up
I would actually give you the shifters just considering the situation that Mainter is in.
They're most likely gonna go blue side. I'm not sure if we can get that confirmed.
I assume that Navi is gonna go blue side and that means Mainter once again has to blind pick.
And yeah, so shifter is red side and Navi is blue side. I just got confirmed in my little ear
and that means that Mainter is gonna have to blind pick.
And what are you blind picking? You don't have the scion, you don't have the rumble
and the Jace is out as well. You're gonna have the scion if it's not banned.
Yeah, but I want to assume the sign will keep getting banned.
So it's going to come down to Narvan pick, which I think Rooster has shown that he's really comfortable country.
Yeah, we'll see if Rooster can get that counter and if they can get the lead.
We have seen before shift is getting a lead on Rooster, not being able to capitalize on it,
but it seems to be that they have managed to find ways to get leads in other lanes as well.
We'll be right back after this break for the final game of Narvi vs. Shift.
and easy charm here and the damage needs to come down now
I have a relish, it's locked into the turret, and Royce the Tanks is out as well
Rooster, don't give a fuck, right?
Rooster, come on, I'm gonna get the rooster in the north side
North side, in the north side
I don't even know what I'm thinking
I'm cooking
I have your rooster, go and cook here
I have your cook here
Yeah, look at that.
Oh, okay.
Nice.
Nice, man.

When it comes to the preparation, the thing most important for us is to, you know, to
The preparation, I think most important for us is to glue more together as a team.
I think that's something that we did well against G2, despite the loss.
And I think that's something that gives us hope for the next games.
I think we're slowly getting our crews' form, even though it's a bit late, right?
Yeah, we lost many matches, but...
Navi is a very interesting team, made out of rookies mostly, right?
and players that were there for last year, they did quite a bit of re-build.
They look really promising, right? They're showing Europe that despite the fight
they might not have the most experience. It doesn't really matter, right?
You can make it up with the first aggression and the way they play, right?
Because they like to mechanically take the fights.
As well as, I feel like with each split, they're getting better, right?
With the ways they want to play them out, the ways they want to just perform during the game.
and that's something to be truly aware of right?
If we're not aware of it and we give them the timers they want,
they'll definitely make it up for them.
You know, Trimby looks a little bit exhausted in the interview
and I'm gonna be real, I talked to him last night after games.
It obviously ended at 11.30 and Trimby was like,
yeah, it was a long day.
No, don't blame him.
And they're playing up first as well.
It's been a long weekend for shifters in total.
They have taken a camera of their first series, buddy.
They got a three.
The very first series was against Fanatic.
They actually got 2-0 by Fanatic.
It has been a long weekend for us as well.
But yesterday against KC, now again, they find the win.
With an interesting draw.
Shout-out to Schifters, not only is keeping it interesting,
but also just reminding us that they do have some strengths,
and we're finally seeing more of it.
Please pick Lee Sands.
Showtime, I can smell him from here.
But KC, though, how can Kata at least deliver?
Who are you smelling?
Well, I don't know how to answer that question, so I'm going to quickly move on.
I'm going to talk about the draft instead.
That's nice. There isn't a draft yet, but go on.
Uh, what will we see?
Really atop, maybe.
Uh, I don't think blind, but possibly.
I mean, I don't think it'll be blind either, but it is a possibility.
I think we're going to go back to, Maintz is going to pick Scion,
and I think that's, uh, Rilech is going to pick Ambeso as the hen.
Right.
And I think that Navi is going to go back to what they know works.
But I'm just most curious about what Bucard has got for us. Does he have something else?
Has he cooked any more? Has he created this whole ecosystem of new journalists for us to explore and adapt and try?
Here's the Yeager who's open, you know? We could go anywhere. There is a LeBlanc fan from Navey.
He's probably thinking, what the hell do we have to look out for this game as the final game of the series commences?
They want to see her, I guess. Lulu, which means that Lulu Unara becomes Rika. Unara is still a strong champion now.
So, hmm, is it? Well, Nautilus is still open, actually. Could it be a Nautilus first pick, potentially, Fnami?
Or they want a little bit more of an aggressive bot lane, two versus two.
Are we done with the ranged supports? Have we moved it back into melee?
Here we go, Alasar, Nautilus kind of game.
Oh, Caitlyn...
Bard is still a thing, though.
Nautilus banned the final band of Nautilus.
Yeah, it's Caitlyn Bard.
It's Caitlyn Bard.
Okay.
It's gonna be...
Which Caitlyn would be banned here?
Yeah, that's fine.
They'll probably still pick Bard.
Okay.
And Chime, they're way into our final game.
With Seraphine, Nami, Karma, Melio.
Yeah, it's kind of...
One Niko is the other one.
It's Niko plus.
Trimmy had a valiant effort.
I think Sion has a good ban against Navi. I think Navi won Azir. I think Navi's also thinking about Bard.
I think Navi's also thinking about playing a tank top.
Or nah.
Blime picking on DeRusso is risky.
Nah, I mean, you're right.
He has both a Kali and a Raleigha.
True.
Played both already here in this weekend. There's the Azir. But...
So, Shifter's now.
They can still play a Carly. They can put Nuke on it.
Yeah.
Uh, with Victor gone...
Yone is also an option as well.
Yeah, but then you have to play an AP top and Rumble's already gone in the series.
But what are you worried about? It's Rooster.
I mean, I can tell you right now, of all the lanes I'd be worried about, Rooster is not that lane.
No, that's right. So...
Let's see how much they cook for now. You already said a Caitlyn plus Bard, right?
Like, I mean, Bard seems like an easy sell.
You could pick just the Caitlyn if you want, and even if they pick Bard, you can then play Caitlyn Lux.
Like if you want it done, you can play Caitlyn, Niko, you can play Caitlyn, Morgana, you can play Caitlyn, I'm annoying support.
Like it doesn't really matter, but it looks like they're going to go for the bar. I think that's just fine.
Varus is also banned, which means that Jin is kind of your best. You could maybe play Jinx, but...
But I will say, you know one thing that's being crested upon more in a game, great Pantheon's up.
That's true.
Like if a jungler is there no greater jungler right now.
But with a zeer I don't know it's not amazing set you on he would be another option as well
That is a chin
Niko auto lock yeah, but I mean as I was saying like I feel like gin is kind of your only option with
With the bands that we've seen come through
Zerath is a cool counter
Into a zeer. Yeah, I can't it was also mentioned earlier. It is a flexibility. Callie. Oh, it's a bit surprising. Oh
Oh go on dude give it to us. Just give us his. Just do it. Do it. Oh my god that sucks
so much more. Oh yeah. We were really excited for that. Well we're getting to the uh now
it's probably shifted back to you. Navi you should back back to you. There's no way
Shifters last game in this weekend is to leave and it's going to be yeah, it will be now
They're banning nocturne the usual answer to pantheon. What about to leave the ego? I
Mean option you can play it, but I'm telling you
Okay, they're banning they know if you want now they want now
Sorry, but he said now be one
Yes, yes
So now shifters will ban Zahane or Adrox probably
Would have played Ban Ban Theon
Then I'd be confused
If I'm completely honest with you wait
I'm confused
Perhaps it is a vega angle
I was very much anticipating that to be a pantheon. Well, well, well color me surprised
I mean I'm surprised to what we can see you guys can't see it at home. They're hovering a gangplank ban. That's obviously not real
right
My feet it might be because what they're thinking?
No, well now all my predictions have gone out the window
What if okay, you're on it all right now
Don't mess this up. No Diego here right because you don't worry about what we're less is gonna be
But then also you're blinding top instead to me blind jungler
So I have to be glad you're here.
It could be Diego.
If it says you're wanting, I'll be upset.
OK.
If it says you're wanting to make zero sense,
Jarvan makes a ton of sense.
Oh my god.
There's no way.
What's it going to be?
Jarvan.
There's no way it's Jarvan.
OK.
On the other side.
We're going to wait and see. I mean they're hovering this GP before
Wait this
Okay nefuri jungle to go into the jarvan they're contemplating it
Okay, they're going to blind pick on exit. Okay fine. Yeah, I mean navi's going very stock standards
I'm terrified of what roost is going to begin to this. Yeah, they pick they ban vain
They banned Varus. They banned NAR.
What could he play?
I'm only thinking about Rusa right now.
He could be said you are.
You got another melee jungle?
I don't know.
Okay, this is more like it.
Now we're getting a carry jungle coming through from Reledge.
It might be a little bit tricky into the...
Taliyah though.
but a lot of kill threat. It's a very scary top lane 2 vs 2.
Rooster just hovering through all the top lane options that he has.
It'd be such a good way to end. Quinn, what else counts Renekton?
Cannon? Oh my god, it's back!
Okay.
Yes. So top lane is going to be hard for Mainz to deploy.
That's what you expected.
Yeah.
Very much as we expected.
So the cannon's going to come through.
A decent 1-ball combo comes through from shifters.
They've got a decent amount of lockdown as well. Every time the gin tries to ulti, the bar ult is there ready to go.
Now I'll be playing a lot more of a front to back with Ralech being the biggest volatility amongst everything.
And so, yeah, I mean, I think I quite like what both teams have drafted.
I think there's solid options. I think that the biggest advantage shifters have is their ability to get push in mid and top early.
early in theory. They probably don't have three winning lanes but they're close to it.
It's going to come down to how impactful Lucata can be in the early game. I think he's got a
lot of lanes to play through. He's got a lot of options as well. And so I think that they're in
a very interesting spot. I like the fact that what kind of as we expected Navi have gone back to
their winning ways I would say. Put Ralech on a carry, put Maint on more of a tank. He's
More of a bruiser than a tank, but yeah, they're going to be looking to play a little bit more front to back,
leverage the range that they do have, and Ralech is going to be the big question mark in this game.
What can he do? What picks can he find? How does Chaos can create?
He's got a lot of terrain to deal with with Bacala and Nuke as well as a side note.
Plus tempered fate. It might just negate the Qiyana.
Ralech with a hard game, but shifters.
Rounding out the draft in a more interesting way.
We go to our final game, see if Nabi can knock in playoffs here today at the end of our road trip at every...
Or they'll have to wait for the KC series after this.
Hysterics.
What?
I think the cannon is AD on hit.
Again!
I mean, he played it another time.
He's 0-1 on his cannon by the way.
I was really hoping that would be AP cannon.
It's lethal tempo cannon.
Is AP cannon really 8?
Is it good or good?
I mean, it's a red 8 and it's great, sure.
That makes sense.
But in the context of the comp, like, cannon's pretty short range.
I don't think it's in here thinking to myself like do you feel that you can just sit there and hit it as Zia
Like hitting the gym. I just feel like they've got some reins on them
And if you're if you're talking about it's such a you know, it's like go combo
You know what I mean?
Plus you have strong AD in the team. I mean listen, there's only one AP. I've been wrong many times in my career
That's not wrong today. Let's see how the AD on hit cannon goes. I'm a little bit skeptical right now
It is rooster, you know, that's true
It's starting to give him the benefit of the down.
It certainly happened.
A very good top laner. He knows how to win lane and I can tell you right now this is going to help him win his lane.
Yeah, he attacks me, it's going to feel real nice. Remember again, lethal tempo.
So, long as these traits go, it's main to try to run away after the slice and does, he will be in trouble on the run out.
Whereas the level 2 first, and as you expect, top lane already going pretty well, regardless of the cannon build.
It's going to be 2 on bot lane, pretty neutral for now, but I'm kind of expecting Patak and Kimu to do well.
It's not connecting, trying to set up as well, so some of the bigger trades will shift as much as they can.
They've got sustain and Truby's already set up a cover.
So, Reletch is a little bit slower on the clear, but not that far behind Bucada.
Both have cleared their topside and are making their way towards bot.
Now that Reletch has got level 3, this clear should be much faster than what it was.
Both eyeing out bot side, right now it's the Pryote secured by Navi which should allow
Relax to get that bot grab, forcing Rukar to path back up towards top.
You know on the mid lane, Luke going for an early base, seems he wasn't winning out a couple of trades there,
but he lost that tier as quickly as possible, so he's going to pick that up himself.
And just a quick side note, while observers will be looking at the top lane note,
that Maitre has gotten impressive attack in this matchup.
Obviously, the first matchup versus Range, the ruthless predator, you get the hell out
If you can ever slice and dice in
usually
You need to make sure that he's put a minion weight even the way in for some
You're sorry to get him down half a tree that is seriously brewing in the top lane quite naturally
It's helpful. Oh, they're like Nick and Poby is Ricardo's now Bob. I'm actually quite surprised
I was expecting Bucardo to have to craft towards top
But I guess the waves both bounce back because Poby decided to go base himself
Which meant that with the waves back towards the side of Navi
They didn't have enough control to allow for a extra grab it, so he's going to path back up towards top
Chris Wolves are spawning relatively soon though, so he may just make a beeline towards that
He's actually more interested in the enemy jungle
Nice scouts out. We step from Group R first
But his speed is also going to be coming up and Reletch will continue his clear
Main tier at half HP. Thank you observers. We'll continue looking in at top
I'll give you a quick teal of the armenta is sad and will remain sad for a while.
Now 15 minutes of sad, but hang about, deadly fly shot off as well, Trimby in trouble, Sandi with a fourth shot close to getting a kill.
The shrine heals up, the second heal is well Sandi, has to reload.
You can't do too much more, fourth shot is there and Trimby's not getting even a chance to plush all of it.
The 2v2 here, very lethal, we talked about it in draft, Jhin is just a strong laning champion.
Plaining champion, he has so much power, especially thanks to that fourth shot, but as you highlighted as well, the cost of having that very powerful fourth shot is to reload.
And so Trimby didn't feel forced to flash because he's watching this gin reload his gun and it's this comedic moment of Sandy's saying, I'ma get ya, I'ma get ya.
The second I put this bullet back in his gun and Trimby was able to walk away to safety. So it pops the heel, but it's a trade between the two supports. Nothing too much comes off the back of it.
really the power of the Niko in lane. One of the strongest laning supports gonna
impact that as well. Bucata's a front-end, Brady had a ward here, wants to steal,
flag out first, and here we go. Smite does come down, but what is the cost of it?
Ralech looking to be engaged, gets a bit of damage down on Bucata as he runs out.
But now all eyes are towards his bottom lane. He's gonna get back towards
his clear, Bucata just gonna introduce Parthink. Well the same can be said
Ralech who goes to his Krabs. Krabs is where the spawn is gonna be.
Hang on a second.
Yeah, there's no such thing as a natural skill now.
Yeah, because the ulti just came up.
Rooster just got 6.
And I wonder what made him to be dead with Leitha tempo up.
Rooster really needs to use...
I guess he just wanted to quickly push the wave. I think it's fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It looked odd. It did look odd, but you identified the correct reason for the flash.
Main to new. Oh, I still need a couple more minions for 6.
Rooster just gets it.
I'm flashing my ulti.
He can relax. He's got the stun as well.
He already used it over the wall.
I don't know how that happened, but he follows up with another ice element and you get his death for first play.
Ice Gang, they get the flash out from Nuke to follow through for Reledge, means that he gets a kill for himself.
And his Qiyana starts the game with first play.
Rooster comes back to top lane in time.
His camera pans over.
Mane just gonna back away.
Rooster comes back with berserkers and a colt.
But the main thing is, as you said, now that you're on the board first.
We're going to start here as far as sponsored out with the flag over the wall, but with the reset from Ralech and Povey having to walk to lane,
this should just be shift to Shrygan.
Yeah, I think it's going to be very difficult for Namu to contest, and it seems that Ralech is really uninterested in even trying.
Especially given you just put your ulti on Povey in mid lane, I think it's a smart choice.
So Dragon going to be conceded, but Ralech continuing to power farm.
He is actually behind in farm against Bucada. The fact that Bucada stole away those raptors and also just secured the drake for himself.
and fall down with the gold.
Very much going the way of Ralech.
Nuke spawning out that topside,
wanting to protect the red buff,
and he's going to successfully do that.
So good guy Nuke helping his general route.
Unfortunately for him, Ralech says,
guess what, I can go over walls.
Decides not to do it though.
No, okay.
There's a control ward there.
Not going to get spotted out.
Oh, what?
Ralech?
Now.
He will be spotted.
And he's thinking where.
And?
And you can see anything.
And I'm not suspenseful.
And he's out.
Okay, decent amount of time wasted there by right now.
Yeah, a little bit.
Yeah, because Bukata unbeknownst to him,
the Predator was lying in wait,
but he was quite happily just clear through his jungle.
Predator will subside and
Bukata goes back to focusing on his own jungle for now.
And the Paris moves to mid,
Trimby was spotted out on a ward and then runs down.
And then good little Cosmic Binding on the clone inside of his shove on the Paris.
He now in trouble.
Fred and Bully gets the damage down and a little bit more as it's blocked by Poby.
He expected his own clone got tebbed to the Cosmic Binding.
The yield comes through from Paris, a very small advantage gained as the grub's forming
in about 30 seconds.
Oh, I mean to...
We're back to our sad watching in top lane.
The defensive control ward, and there's the chunk.
Yeah, there's a 30 CS lead here.
Yeah!
Yeah, there is.
is nice at the very least of that wave will slowly crash in but this is what
Finn's been talking about we're like the top line meta right now it just feels
like that there isn't really a safe blind top lane pick anymore it just feels
like that there are too many counters that are available given the fact that
well thanks to the roll quest everyone gets a TP so you can run all sorts of
summoner spells that's why we put both the ghost and the flash on rooster
and the ghost in particular on an AD cannon is very helpful because it just
This helps you stand range. Keep auto-attacking. Keep doing that dodge.
With the chase up with lethal tempo, I'm curious to see the extended uptime that Rissa gets in this landing phase.
As I said, I'm getting more of a comeback to top there.
It's starting every time Slice and Dice comes through.
You have stacks of Mark of the Storm. I mean, Rissa can Q, he can press W.
With that auto, because he has that auto passive uptime as well, it just means more stunning for the redacted.
Yeah, mate it is in the dirt. This is slowly growing to
35 currently
Yeah, you're going to isolation that could just end up being one kick old in the next five minutes
I think there's a world where you could look for a gank
But it is a little risky in the middle top relic. I was thinking top
Reletch, he wants to try and alleviate the pressure.
Ooh, in-povery, finds the wall, Paras finds the dunk.
Not against both of them, the Angel Nages is destroying huge.
Then we get a chance to react.
Trimmy takes an extra journey on the way out.
The gana, Agus plays spectator League of Legends then.
Five Reletch had options to throw out the ultimate,
but he's going to hold on to it for now.
An easy pick up, an easy kill, goes the way of the jungler.
Reletch in such a powerful position.
This wild card pick in the sense of...
When you look at the rest of the comp, it all kind of makes sense with this Kiana being that variable that can either be a huge hit or a huge hit.
Oh, it hits!
Oh, supreme display hits, two man as well, Tampa faker, Holbrook legs, but number four Paris, that's the job.
Smite down on the grubs as well, Bucata lucky to be alive on the rest of Nami, pulled the trigger again.
So as I was saying, hit on this, that's what after the hit.
Oh, black and dragon, I don't know, there's the 5-6 jump, short, cataclysm, nice from Bucata, flushes away.
Okay, I was a doubt about Bucata picking that up, spectacularly.
Nice bounce back there from Rukada. Probably not giving him an opportunity to flash.
Means the shifters get on the board. 3 kills to 1. Navi with the gold lead.
Oh my goodness, Reledge even looking to invade. He doesn't care about mid.
Nick is going to happily secure that. Reledge wants to steal camps away.
I mean it looks like his own camps are being sold away, so it makes a ton of sense.
Wow. Something's off. He's kicking off here. Ooh, maybe there's an angle.
There's no supreme display of talent, but he can just walk it in.
Rooster gets Ruthal's creditors. He's just used his E.
He's just used his E, I sell him a dp for relatch, there's a flash, Rufus put it after the Dominus as well
Whereas he doesn't have the slicing mouse on, this is a mistake as he gets hit!
He gets tagged by relatch! The accuracy of this Kiara is amazing!
So the EQ combo basically guarantees the hits, unless you time the flash correctly
It's pretty much also locked on, so relatch knew this
So all he had to do was get in range, EQ into a follow up Q
The chain CC means that Rilech gets himself another kill and finally, Mainta gets a relief from this onslaught of the top lane matchup.
He gets to breathe and then she said, I mean look, yet TP's great, we didn't get it as the cannon, but he doesn't have it yet.
So he's going to walk to lane, next wave has been dealt with so really nice timing here for Mainta.
But here's the thing man, like, I know that Na'Vi want to try different styles, they want to try different approaches,
that the real is the best version of Navi is when Ralech is the carry, when he is the
superstar of this team is when this team looks the scariest. They play to support him, they
play to enable him and here we go.
He's been found out that Cosmo's fighting quite nice, the wall in the way, supreme display
only in the river, Ralech goes into Foggerball, but in the river he was found by Threadapoll and
he's on the Poby wall. Fantastic, got to be caught, another couple on the
pop off, and there's a two man, and a crab caught from downstairs with a deadly
On the new pass, the only one left to get dropped in the dirt as well.
Tullock wouldn't have chased the range, the coin fake out hand enough.
Now it's Sammy D versus the big duck in river.
But it's any carries going to spectate each other with a three for three popping off down there.
I'm genuinely impressed that Navi were able to turn that into a 3v3.
If Vultus Overlatch was done and dusted, they shut down this Keanu so quickly,
Boccata with a great engage. The follow-up is there from Trimby. The ulti from Luke as well
Gives him no room to play but Poby does good damage. He throws the ultimate out and then it's the ulti from the back line
Paris connects a two-man ulti
Sam Di doing really good damage, even though he's not really involved in the fight was one of the biggest different
Difference makers to equalize this play. Paris tries to get clever with it
Things don't quite pan out the way that he would like and ends up being a three for three
Well, three for three that Reledge got caught up on the back foot of it, but you picked a bit of gold up of it as well
Pat up on the board, Tendi on the board both head he carries quite strong Hextech optics their first item each
There's nothing hold the gold lead here, but it's anyone's game the dragon still in contention
And she could pick up the first Picada trying to secure a second back to back here
Is Reledge is hovering in the area waiting to see
Reef pause is both team serve around the dragon.
Seen Maintra getting a little bit more confidence in that 1v1 in the top lane.
Just tries to fight back for control over the wave.
Meanwhile, first item is being completed across the board.
Might be confused as to why Maintra has built moat treads against an AD on hit cannon.
It's because cannon still has a lot of CC.
He has so much CC.
I mean, in fact, if there's no Minimoog, you can just walk up and CC him off.
That's the main reason for a decent amount of magic damage that comes through from the cannon.
Rusa though realizes he's on the weak side, so he has to play safe as Reletch,
abandon the dragon and focuses on trying to steal away some camps on the top lane.
Yeah, Ward spotted out Reletch as well.
There was a ward just here in the bush, seeing him in the screen now,
so Keanu doing drugs, I believe, for what's past.
Respect paid, which again, just makes her a little bit time off.
time our probing shoves in and wants to find a hit as Paris that's a fake
minion product but it's too late to play it down as you know Calvin that's
outstanding gonna hit and full shot into that puts him in the ground as
bot lane is now open so two plays are happening on the map at the same time
and I did try to make an engage happen onto new cons more meanwhile the
potlain two versus two Paris current largest is a minion that's ulted that's
What's the flash?
It's going to get out of there.
Trimby's ulting down as Bucardo shows an award.
And this way, Pobi can just free hit towards Midlands.
Absolutely, the camera lets just
runs down the lane for flash.
Alright.
They just want the tower.
Rooster, seems that he can't do anything about this.
It's going to be a dive.
Trimby's face shaking.
Get this virus curtain call.
Trimby, a step 2 fight.
He's a magical journey, but not away from the magician.
and run into Nuke, and the magic ends there.
Yeah, that first shot from Sandeep predicted that the CC would end, and Trimby would take the portal.
Get it first again, hang on there. Just face checking into this Niko, and every time Paris surprises Avon.
Surprisingly, Navi get first tower in top lane of all places.
That's great.
Menta now finds himself with a gold lead, has the stridebreaker as well.
So, good job, Riletch, basically just cross-mapping and saying,
You know what? There's not much for us to fight for on the both side of the rift and said let me focus top
I'm gonna get the Herald as well
We can then use this to try and break open that mid lane towel with which as you mentioned earlier
Popey got a decent amount of time to just free hit on
So now I'll be putting themselves in a fantastic position 3.2k the gold lead for them every single lane
A lot of it is on Paris. Yeah, a lot of them Paris a lot of it on the ledge
surprise with a
Paris funny a protobelt off the early gold as well
Well, it seems for now, POP might be the next focus.
POP is moving down.
I remember also, we've got a Hexhack Rift, so things move a little bit faster as Manger's
going to back away.
He's got to match that top lane.
Doesn't want to burn the TP.
We'll use moment guard support to it instead.
I won't lose too many minions, I think, with the crash.
Yeah, okay.
There won't be a couple of lost, but he'll be there in time as POP is going to hover
around the POP lane.
Things are going to chill out for the next two minutes, 40.
The shifters are up on dragons, but with this gold lead, I think things
little shift in a different direction in the next.
I won't see, yes we do.
As a reminder for those at home,
shifters have been eliminated from play-off contention,
but they're still trying to make plays.
They're trying to shove Dr. Wade from on the unrevealed,
the turret now invulnerable here.
The flag and drag probably still held on to him,
but he's still stuck against the wall.
Otto, by new pommels and comes in from the side,
Mages now joined in.
They're gonna find a trade.
Paddock was deep.
I don't know what Paddock was doing in Arkansas, Texas,
but that guy was way too deep down in the mines.
Has Harold being summoned through the mid lane,
Sam Deegan find a charge up to the side of her latch.
Weaver's wall comes in,
this is only new by himself,
no temporary phase for the range he gets.
Flash right from the side, big shove.
Shift has come in for the defense,
but mid turret has been charged hard and opened up.
Overall, it's a win for Navi.
They open up the mid lane tower,
they get another Harold charge into the tier two,
and they end up threading 1-4 on the bot lane play.
But Duck loses his life in exchange for Pobies,
and I think that Navi are more than happy
with how things are playing out right now.
Brutal is desperate.
Flash Cata close him in on the top of Paris.
Not dead just yet.
Here comes Slything Nelsha from Rooster.
And his autos are going to do the rest of the work.
He gets a shut down on an enemy support, Niko.
Now Rooster's back in goal.
But they have to commit so much.
Flash from Bucada, Flash from Rooster.
Yes, they get a kill.
Poby's shadowing in the bottom lane, though.
Trimby's also here as well.
Rooster the gank, Rootless Predator stops him in his track.
He gets the stun up.
Poby needs a bit more range.
Trimby, magical journey to show that he's here.
He's tempted faith almost off a cooldown, so Navi...
...you can think about what they can do. That is Relax taking a hexgate. He is confident.
He's got ulti and propane hydra, and why not?
The steal, the yonky ulti, the assassination of Bukata.
Enough damage, I think so! He'll terror-shape that hell out of Shipless Jungle.
Yeah, Kiana does quite a lot of damage, and in the 1v1 against the Jarvan, there is little that Bukata can do.
This game is quickly snowballing out of control.
A 4.6k gold lead.
When Ralech is at the party, things go the way of Navi.
Nuke trying to match on the side lane.
Looking for a pick on a Poby.
Doesn't shot, needs to connect.
Unraveled Earth waiting.
Poby sidesteps.
There's the Earth.
Trimby looking for the magical rather cosmic binding up
against Atari flashes away.
Nuke still gets the threat of Bollydown
and Trimby takes off the turret shots.
And they get Poby and shifters
are still trying to match blow for blow.
So it's a nice pick found by shifters.
We'll get a little bit of gold back for Nuke, but really it's a drop in the ocean compared to the advantage that Navi's been able to build here in this other game.
No dragons to their name, but Navi's looking to change that as the third dragon of the game will spawn and Shift is not really in a position to contest right now.
They are not rooster, isn't it? Slushing Nelson.
That's incorrect. That's a TP committed.
Yeah, okay, but Dominus on the war, they're on the war for Boston, Parris is found, Nuke, deadly fly.
I don't know about that TP anymore.
You can live without Scraper, but he gets one shot by Sandeep.
Here's Curtain Corwin.
He's gonna find them all.
We're covering the Cataclysm to get out of what situation.
I don't know.
Two for Jin out of the possible four.
Sandeep sends Shifter's back.
He gets two more kills after his list.
He is on four in total kills.
Doesn't have to be just secured.
I understand the idea from Shifter's.
Ham Duke arrived by a little bit of time.
The rest of the team can regroup and credit collapse.
The problem is, you're TPing onto a ward that Nabi have full information of.
They have not hard committed to that dragon, they've got Reletch doing it solo.
So Nubian just TPs to his own demise. The chain CC is brutal.
He does get some damage down, but it is far too late.
And then Bucarda finds himself isolated going in way too deep
after his mid-layout falls. Double kill secured by Sandeep.
First dragon secured for Nabi as well.
6000 gold in the lead. Shift is in this game.
I haven't been able to do too much and Top looked great, that got shut down.
Mid was looking good with some of the plays, but the problem is that Ralech is controlling
jungle again.
As he said, what a look from the jungler of Narvae, this is what they were stronger in
versus, almost caught up with Winter.
In versus, this was their highlight.
Ralech came into the league, debuted and we're like, oh my god, this dude just
plays Top laner's jungle.
And then he plays champions like Keanu, so I think he debuted in the league, his first
ever game was Keanu Jungler.
He was similar, yeah.
It was crazy.
And we're getting it again, three items now, Edge of Night has been picked up, so he's
got a bit of a spell shield to deal with, a very spell-reliant composition of shifters.
As Farron is now on, there's going to be the next blow here, because shifters
make one more mistake, and their weekend will end in 0-7.
198 CS at 21 minutes as well for a jungler, he's power farming at every opportunity,
spinning away camps, just speed running through the jungle.
Navi, I mean they have good front to back, they have a lot of range to play with,
and if Rilech finds Padak, he just dies.
No ifs, no buts, not maybes, he just dies.
So, yeah, the shift is they're going to have to find picks on side.
I have more questions about this AD Kennen.
Like, I don't really understand what the point of it is.
Like, they wanted to try and win lane top,
sure that they didn't really play through top.
Uh-oh, Tadak's top lost and flashed.
Tadak gets out with his own flash.
Now, Tadak's deep with the Tanglebub.
Can't see any kind of follow-up.
Fakata was here looking for the flag and drag.
Jin behind, which means that he has range to add.
That's a worthwhile trade.
Support for AD carry flash.
Sure, you all have to burn the heal, but Tadak, now flash this.
Guess who's gonna be eyeing him up?
Keon. Yeah, I think so.
So now Padaque has to be very very careful.
Or Rusa does as well. He's taking the long way around but look how deep this is from Paris.
Pengalbabs again. Bind in.
Sizing Nelshawn but no one's in it.
Rusa's just scared!
Pals to take him down.
Curtain call.
Didn't even get hit in the end.
Relentions there, just in case.
Navi's setting up traps and shift his jungle.
Even when they try to rotate to defend one side of the map, they're getting caught out.
13 kills to 7. Now an 8k gold lead is another tower falls.
Navi having a flawless game 3 to run out their series and look to secure a spot in playoff.
And Paris is having another crazy one. And Paris on this nico has been claimed.
It's just like he's seraphiting game number one.
And this support is really showing colours as well.
There's Narvi crests towards their security in playouts.
Okay, 7.6 and 7K gold lead.
Dragon in a minute 10, and that's surely Narvi's.
Just about how they close it out.
Again, showing us that they can kind of crest over
this mid game and rotate into a clean ending
is what Narvi has to show more and more.
He's a continuously of questions as to
how their mid games have gone.
This weekend we've gotten more of an answer,
but I'm not 100% on that, Betty.
we have had some uh...
spreading games from now
anticipating games
for the right word
but it wasn't
well, I feel like that I just
I feel like I know what
Navi is good at
that's kind of my take
early game?
nah, they're just good when they have a electronic carry and they know how to enable him as a carry
I feel like that he's the type like
I feel like I've heard this comparison before but it does remind me a lot of inspired
where basically he has a very clear vision of what he wants in the game
Do you think he's the only one who wants to be the second inspired or something?
Well, perhaps. I don't remember any of that, of course.
We've had a few junglers who have said that, by the way.
Yeah.
But, uh, well, I mean, also in the hero lines we've inspired and that he kind of...
The team seems to be very much centered around him.
I've been like the... They have a lot of players that fill roles,
and they're all very good at filling that role, right?
They'll do what they need to do.
Um, but I don't think that they necessarily steal the show in the same way that certain specific players do, right?
Like if we think about Nark Narko, he's the type of player that kind of steals the show in his role.
His main type is very flexible, he plays a bunch of champions, he does a solid job, right?
And that's why I think the best version of Darvi is one where they just put Rolex on any form of carry
and you just let him unleash to do his thing and he knows how to carry a game.
And you're seeing it right now, 4.3K individual gold lead, over Bucada.
He's in level 16, he's the highest level in the game.
It's unreal.
But this is what I mean, right? Like, you give him the tools, give him the resources and he'll deliver the job.
And for shifters, I mean, I don't know what to make of this team.
Sometimes there are some of the best players in the league at the time.
We get lifeless shifters.
So that is a big alt commitment though. It means that Baron is a scary objective to start for Na'Vi.
for Na'Vi. Probably they weren't necessarily thinking about it, but Ralech doesn't quite find the pick that he was looking for.
Mainter has to go bot lane to catch that wave. So he's going to clean that one up.
But Na'Vi is still very much in control of the map.
With no dragon really to play for, they're just fishing for picks in the enemy jungle,
stealing away what camps they can. Ralech continuing to extend his lead even further.
We'll move back off for now though. She's just trying to mount an offense off defending their own jungle.
They clear some of the vision as well a lot of a captive audience on the ground
That's what you can see on your minimap vision
Made you get some alone time with me
Yeah, so no threat of Baron and now the I mean I do feel like
You know in a game one they were very very calm to end I feel you know
We were looking at them ones like they can end now they can end now that
There weren't any questions.
They've got some trauma about throwing games.
I mean, that's probably what it is, isn't it?
So...
They're not racing here. They're still 7000 gold up.
They're waiting for a pick. They're not going to start barring without one.
The shifters are not willing to walk anywhere near this jungle where it is completely dark.
They've got to be very, very careful.
So now we're just kind of waiting.
with the win here they will qualify to play off, so they'll be the second team alongside Vitality, moving up to six wins.
They will still have two series left to play, the rest of the season.
Mighty Dead here for shot incoming, the range was there, curtain call.
That's the second time Drimby snuck away on barely any HP.
He also drew an ulti out again.
Yeah, they get the ulti out from Sandeep, exactly.
The thing is, Jim, not a fastest Baron taker, as they're relatively fast, okay, they're just going to start this one off.
the smite takes it down and then look for the turn where he's the one on an angle but he gets caught
and another one bites at us. They shift his loose two, lose the Baron and this game gets
ever close to closing out. Very clean play from Navi, which is the moan.
Paddock almost gets deadly flourished. But Ralech choosing to forego the Baron in favor
of looking for a pick. He one-shots Pucada with the help of Poby and they secure the
the baron largely uncontested. Trimby tries to buy a bit of time by throwing out the
tempered fade, but it was not enough. Now 10k gold leads for Navi. I mean, yeah, yeah,
they are terrifying right now. We look back at this in the Everletch. Q into ult, into
Q, into Q. Scary. Scary, scary stuff. And then again Trimby tries to throw the ult
into buy some time. Rusell then starts looking for an angle. He comes in on
the right flank but then he immediately gets altered by Paris, chains his seat and he doesn't
get to do anything.
No he does not.
I don't think this cannon's done much this game anyway.
Yeah, pretty much.
It's uh, it's been fun, you know.
Hey at one point he was 30 CS up.
That was, that was cool.
Yeah.
But you know, there's another player who was in the LPL in the past who also played
80 carry cannon top.
He also disappointed me with it.
The difference was he built rapid fire cannon from memory.
And, yeah, it was not good. It went 0-9.
You all know I don't need to say the name, you know, I'm talking about it.
You know, Roots is going to have to try and defend with the rest of the shifters
because this onslaught is happening through a mid happening through a bot.
Canemini in his range. Hard to deal with. Here comes the curtain call
and Trimby's in the way again.
Hada gets a tag. Four-shot does hit Paddock.
Clips his heel, moves from the high-speed and enables us to hit it up.
One down. Two more to go.
But even though Newt's finding a side lane,
I think Navi might even try to end here, double inhibitor at the very least.
XG are going to be taken, there you go, no ending, now Tepid Fate going to catch two.
Okay, an opportunity, Hibikata will be the flag and drag, but they don't take a boss in, set deadly barrage in position
from Shifters as they run back to their own base and Navi get out.
And Navi playing this very safe, they don't want to overstay their welcome in the top slot,
also in the enemy base I should say, they will instead use this opportunity to get their third dragon of the game,
Reset, move back out onto the map, push out top.
I imagine we could do this tutorial style.
I do really don't spend too long because if their Baron wears off it,
like we're gonna have to wait for another one but they've only got 30 seconds left on it.
Resets come through. Oh, we're actually choosing not to go back to base instead
with Poby pushing in that top wave. I wonder if they'll just
make a beeline towards that top tower.
Sandee is doing mega damage right now.
He's here in Rilatia, the main goalie,
and it's funny that Paris also contributes.
Impressed it over 10,000 gold.
The French crowd is getting a bit antsy.
I think they're ready to see this one close out.
They're ready to see Nabi.
Complete their way into plows.
And watch our very last series of KT vs Fnatic.
I mean, who knows what's going to happen there.
Are Fnatic going to be good today?
Or are they going to get absolutely wiped off the mat?
They come in core. Those answers are more coming up as...
Let's try and finish this one first.
We'll now be looking at the top lane turret and see last inhibitor.
As you said, tutorial style is doing this by the book.
Taking down all inhibitors and again being concrete in the way they finish the game.
They're playing through two lanes right now with no bar and buff.
Seaging this becomes much harder, especially with the kit and trunks there.
Clown gonna be used to trigger one of them immediately gets replaced.
They don't quite have the range, Navi, to actually hit that tower with the wave coming through.
So they're just keeping the push, keeping the push, keeping the pressure.
Keeping shifters trapped inside their base.
The traps though continuing to be a pain, but outside for Navi.
I mean, the biggest parish has sent a clone into the middle east,
so he's found a way in, tries to fight again.
The clone stands still, he gets caught out on a trapeze,
right above lots of flashes in, before dying.
Harris, a brav to engage, he's sacrificed his life at the current goal, he should be able to find something back.
Sam Dede runs out of boards and Shifters run back to base, a one for one but it's jungle for support.
Is that why you're finally going to crash in?
Yeah, the dive commitment was necessary to break this tower down.
Now it's so many orcs invested, it's going to be even harder for Shifters to really answer back.
The third inhibitor will finally fall, now Narvi wants to continue the siege.
Is the super minions make their way into the base of Shifters?
But they can't land anything, probably hexed, hexed Broderbilt out of it.
Sandeep walked out of the tempest bait from Trimby, and now that ulti's down, two left remaining.
I mean, Ducata needs to be alive to use his, but Navi have three waves, shifted 0-7 after the weekend.
It's sad that they weren't fine, anything here is a saviour, his shot back is nice, at least getting Sandeep down for a shutdown.
Delays the game of it, Navi is scared.
The crowd is not happy!
They are not happy!
This game goes on.
The shift is too heavy.
The throwing was huge.
They're pissed off.
They're all sick.
They're all mad.
Guys, the game is over.
Let's get on to the next one.
The shift is still fighting back.
It should be found out, Poby knows he's on the road, but it's gonna be hard to catch him.
Maitre on a ward will be spotted out.
Baron number two, let's see if that can do it.
It should. It should do it.
They are very, they're very safe.
I mean, kind of...
Well, they have to be when they lose their ADC.
And then they do the kiss, you know?
Yeah, when the ADC dies, one of the options they have is the guy hitting the towers.
Yeah, so they have to go back to base.
Gianni, Finisher, Ralechi is now full-tailed on the Qiyana.
He is getting close. I mean I talked about this yesterday with Yaikou currently has the record and now he's getting 8.5k. He's getting that.
There is a world where reletsch can get towards 7000 bpm on this.
I don't think you will.
You sure? You don't know how long this game will go.
I feel like it'll be Baron into end. That's my god.
Okay.
Okay, there we go. See you don't even up to 6.4. Like the Baron doesn't even give that much.
But if he gets a big ult he can kill everyone.
Yeah?
That's getting bad, man.
Man, look at it.
And it's a crowd of longers.
They're like, oh, we're getting there.
TP, glass legs for shifters.
I said it before and I'll say it again.
It's been a disappointing weekend, continuing to add a playoff.
But at least we've seen some cool gut checks in the draft.
A fitting way to end this.
Now, there are steps away from locking in players for themselves.
They have to close this game now.
They're getting poked down, though.
Ace in the hole, that's under Paris, we're allowed to get the in here, but up mid, respawns.
I mean, tutorial style would have ended by now.
But they're gonna find something, curtain call on wall, what's gonna be used?
He does continue the way, Clare, and lost.
Oh my god, the crowd hates it.
Headscarf, Maitre might be dead by the way.
Picard is here, Scythe dies above, there's no man, he's dead. Scythe is shove.
I mean, Navi is scared.
I feel like Navi actually could have just pushed through mid.
What is happening?
So they just went to the enemy base.
They're one solo.
Well, yeah, they have to get solo now because they're all smoked.
I feel like Navi's playing a little too scared at this point.
Like, bro, they've launched up TFT or something, you know?
They're playing a different game.
That's just flash all like...
Expecting you just to do it yourself.
You don't need to win the fight. You just need minions to go into the base.
Yeah.
Stop shifters from hearing the minions, and then the minions can do the work for you.
Do you think Relach really wants to get to 7k?
I don't think he's thinking about that right now.
What are they thinking about?
Trying to end the game without throwing, but now they're stressed that they're gonna throw.
And now I think they're getting in their own head.
And the problem is the longer this game goes,
the more gold shifters get, and the likelihood of them throwing does in fact increase.
If shifters win this game,
What a way to get it for a series of rounds.
That would be the biggest throw ever.
It would, but you know, it would bring in the narrative and the crowd's getting happy again.
Every time Na'Vi get close to the shippers base, they start cheering.
And every time the toes get in and they start stepping on enemy turrets, they get even more excited.
Raleigh's going to doze and I always got GA and I think someone just has to send it for me.
Yes, I agree. Someone's just going to send it.
Come on greatest of some time. Let's make that now
Relish on the tip of fate. Oh
Bobby
What a way to end game 3.
Narvin secure a spot in playoffs reaching 6 wins and Poby gets himself a pen to kill.
We were waiting for them to finally force that fight, make commit everything and are able to pull it off.
Player of the series, partner of the LEC, you know what I'm saying, relax, probably a Paris.
It probably should be Paris, I have a feeling probably you're going to get anyway.
I mean, relax, probably should get it up, but look at it.
Maybe, maybe.
Game one is good as well.
Shift to zero and seven.
Commiserations already out of bounds, but it just seems a little bit deeper for them.
Now that your second team to be locked in, are they the second best in the region?
I don't think so, but...
Let's see how they do that.
A lot of games left to be played.
They've got one more series.
We'll see if now they can get further than what they're able to achieve last split.
Yeah.
Forming short to GX.
But as you can see, we're getting ready for an interview on stage.
Now we're going to close out their weekend with a 2-1 performance.
And we'll see, as you said, they've got one more series to play.
I don't see how they've evolved towards the nails.
I said I don't think they're second best team,
but I don't know where they are.
They could surprise you, sir.
They had a two series.
Sorry.
Two series.
The sky is the limit.
Oh, you're actually up on.
I'm trying to compliment them.
Honestly, they don't.
They deserve it.
What, the compliment?
Yes, they do.
They had overall a very solid split.
I think they've got a very defined style
that they're good at.
They're still trying to figure out.
You've heard enough from us.
Let's go down the law standing on stage.
Yeah.
That's all I did, the duo Mid, Jungle, Poppy and Reledge, which were not a financial game.
But finally, we got the first reaction on Poppy's pentakill.
Poppy, any reactions on your pentakill?
To be honest, I just focused game-man and I just quadra-killed after my teammate.
Give him pentakill, give him pentakill. Thank you for my teammate.
Yeah, we take it. Thank you to the teammates obviously here.
He wanted to finish the game, but he asked his teammates to give him a point and they're happy to finish it.
A game that may have been hard to finish at the end of the weekend, a little less convincing than what we could have expected.
I would like to know why they had so much trouble finishing their game.
At this stage, maybe we are getting a bit nervous to pull the trigger on Siege's and we get Nage or mid-waves.
We are kind of a bit hesitating because of the result of Kroo here and it's also affecting.
He was affected by the fact that you are impressive with all the noise you make.
Despite the situation in the sky, it was their advantage.
It was quite complicated to finish the games.
Navi are in play-offs and I would like to know if they think they have progressed enough as a team.
You guys made play-offs now, but I know that you wanted to go away from being this one-dimensional team.
It still feels like when you're in the driver's seat, the team feels more confident.
Do you feel like there's something more you guys should progress on?
How do you reflect on Navi so far?
I think when we get leads, we are doing more practice on the map.
That's all kind of strange, I would say, but when we're going behind, we are still trying to do it,
and we are going more behind. That's what happens in the second game as well.
I think we will work on this more, and we will be fixing this kind of issue for playoffs,
and it will be so much better for playoffs.
There are difficulties to play behind, once again, for the moment.
It's things that want to be fixed on the playoffs.
Last question, I know you've been waiting for your team,
but Pobby was very eager to play in France.
last week, so I would like to know what he thought of the welcome you did to him and what you did to Na'Vi during the whole weekend.
We can applaud them!
Thank you very much guys.
That's all for the stage.
We'll be back for the last match between Kassé and Flattie.
Thank you so much Lo.
It's great to hear from you guys on the stage.
We are joined by Paris.
We have a little chat about how your weekend has been going.
Do you want to repeat what you said to us?
Yeah, weekend is going far except the games we played.
My games with the Rachaud are good too.
We have a lot of games to play.
except the games we played in games we didn't show a good performance like I think.
To bonus for me, we played the best game against KC even though we lost 2-0.
We played a good early game, we played better macro than them until mid-game, until mid-late game.
It was good. After, we played how many games? 8 games?
There was no mid-backer game like there was 0.
So, I'm happy with mid-late game.
We have 2-0, Togin right?
So, we look up here.
Yeah, it's an interesting one because we've been commenting on like the mid-game woes that you guys have had in the last couple of days.
Is it because you're changing things in the draft?
You simply taking less pressure of the ledge and adding it into other roles?
Or is it just you've been here for three days, it's three best of threes in three days, it's kind of exhausting?
I think it's a bit exhausting, but I think it's mostly on us that we are not being decisive enough.
We don't have one call or we don't execute the call. That was the biggest problem this weekend.
But I think we need to work a lot on it. I think we will do better next week.
How do you feel then? Because obviously you've just lost playoffs. Do you think that this is something now that you can kind of pick together before you hit playoffs?
Or is it because your next opponent is G2, which is definitely going to be a tough one. So how are you feeling leaving it to G2 then into playoffs?
To be honest, I'm not scared of Jeter right now. I don't think they are playing good and they should play way better in my expectation than you are sitting against an official or a live-play official.
They need to step it up, but we still have a long time until clear. We can work a lot, we can stream a lot. We just try to do our best and improve a lot.
Have you seen any of the patch changes that are happening? I don't know if you've looked at them at all yet.
No, because it does not affect us.
If you think about it, maybe you can't lose your focus on the dust.
That's what we usually do as well. The patch hasn't happened, it doesn't exist in my brain.
There's a big change coming out this week, so we'll see how things change around.
When you are looking at having better calls in late game, having better singular decision makers,
is that something that usually falls on you, or do you have a specific in-game leader that would call for those sorts of players?
In game we don't have one leader, in early game we used jungle course, so in game we used course, mid-league came, I think me and Pobby was a lot, Astrid and Main Terral gives us like TP situation when he can move, some day he's like AD carry, no?
I mean he called himself an NPC last week, so yeah. How has it been though, laning with SamD, because obviously you've come together this year, how have you been finding this relationship and how are you finding the bot lane?
I think right now, we were on fire until today.
Today we got a bit gap in lane, I think, even though we killed 2v3 in the first game,
they played better first able 3v3 than us.
But other than that, I think we are winning a lot of 2v2s, even though we are not.
I'm happy, and I'm confident.
Yeah, because it feels like you've got a lot of that confidence back, and it feels like,
even in this game today, on the Niko, you had some great engages.
It feels like you've really found a home now and not be for yourself.
In Na'Vi, I'm really happy with my teammates, with my coaches, with people around me, so I'm happy and I'm far from better.
Do you have a lot of expectations going into playoffs? We had a quick chat about your previous play-off runs. This is the fourth time you made it.
You made it twice to BDS once with Na'Vi, obviously. Twice you've been stopped by GX, which is something that I didn't realise until now.
What are your expectations going into playoffs?
I have good expectations from us. I think we are a really good team.
If we show this performance, it might be tough.
But if we make some mid-late game, I think we will be a really strong team to go first place.
First place? Okay, I'm looking forward to it, Paris.
We need to beat KC. It's like kindies afterwards.
Okay, we'll see if you can do it. Thank you so much for joining us.
Anything you want to say to the Mavi fans out there before we close up?
Thank you for watching us. Kind of, I may be sad, I think David's sad as well, with our performance, but we will do way better, we will work out for it, so don't worry.
Amazing. Appreciate you so much, Paris, for joining us. We'll be tossing to a quick break, and afterwards we'll be back for KC versus Fnatic.
I'm trying to be...
Look!
Kill kill kill kill kill!
I need a race!
Oh, I need to get out!
Better better better!
Better better!
Better! Don't step!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Oh!
Thank you!
The whole room was howling. Howling? Oh, that's not howling. Did you shoot the
Have a seat, Torpy.
Okay, you can close.
Let's get electrified.
Let's get electrified.
Red Bull gives you wings.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Wait a minute.
What are you doing?
Oh.
I'm ready.
I'm ready to put it on.
Yeah.
What are you waiting for?
I'm gonna put it on.
I'm so excited.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm ready.
Yeah.
I'm ready.
What are you waiting for?
I'm ready to put it on.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Let's go!
Confident like you never did see
Big eagle book of rank is really a seed
So we only we're designer cause we always have plenty
And for that money, money, money, everybody you're feeding
And the bling like a chandelier hung on my chest
Then I get it for free cause I'm simply the best
Need deposits every day when I'm breaking a sweat
Might be lying through my girls, great technique for requests
Thank you!
Hey everyone, Law here on the road again. I'm in the fan section right now between games
and I think you remember that in the Alice's Studio we have something called the Fan Alley.
Well, we have it here as well and I just wanted to show you what they have been cooking
for this event. The really cool thing is that you see this line here, that's for
the artworks that's for all the freebies that all the fans have been making and
cooking the whole weekend. I believe we have a familiar face here. Hi Lina. Hi.
How are you doing? I'm great and you? I'm good. I'm good. Thank you. So I saw you at
the studio last time. This time around it's in every. Same thing, same mood.
Please talk me through what we have here this weekend at the fan alley. We
have a lot of things because there are lots of fans here. We have bracelets,
lots of stickers, postcards and lots of photo cards.
Alright, and I see this, you were telling me that people took most of it.
Did you expect so much attention and so much support from the fans?
Honestly, no.
The queue was absolutely huge and we're really happy that everybody is liking it so much.
We had quite a bit of stock expecting a lot of fans this weekend, but we didn't expect
this much support.
What have people enjoyed the most?
Like what do they go for usually?
I think KC is an obvious one.
Yeah, they go for KC, but they really like player prints, you know, the postcards, they love it, the bracelets, obviously everybody goes for them, and a couple of the stickers, if they're fun, people love them as well.
Well, thank you so much. Pleasure seeing you as always. I'll see you at the studio next time, hopefully.
Hopefully, yes.
Merci beaucoup.
Merci.
Now seeing the support from the fans here at the fan alley and in the arena as well as we're gearing up for the very last match of this weekend at Eveliko Coronet it's going to be Carmen God versus Fnatic here and we see the players celebrating outside.
I love the fact that KC players have been joining their fans every day ahead of the games to chance and celebrate with them.
You can only feel the energy that the fans are giving them, the players are giving it.
I mean the highlight of the game was seeing Kanna with the drum. The fact that he's standing there hitting the drum a little bit awkwardly was just so endearing.
Yeah, and they were dancing with him and everything. I actually feel like they had an amazing time and while they're having time, Fnatic is still battling for us to stay in competition for the playoffs.
So far it's not looking good at all.
No, it hasn't been looking so hot.
They didn't look so hot yesterday either.
And I think that's where a lot of the focus now is going to be,
is how can Fanatic bring it back from the brink.
But against a team like Carmin Corp.
That's incredibly difficult to try.
But it has to start here for Fanatic.
And where does it have to start in-game?
What do we want them to fix first, Finn?
Jesus Christ, everywhere I make.
Carmin, you're caramel here.
I mean, just look at these gold drops across this weekend.
It's very up and down.
But it's around a 25-minute mark
where something happens, whether that is for better or for worse, we're not quite sure.
I will say, if we just go off KC's form yesterday against shifters, they did look quite beatable.
I don't think KC showed the cleanest gameplay yesterday, and I feel like Atlatic can kind of
find similar avenues like shifters in the early game with his funky picks. I do see them being
able to contest them, but obviously beating KC is going to be a huge task to accomplish.
And I think they have shown that Fnatic can have those moments, right?
I think Raddy's had a decent weekend, I think Opset has had good times,
I think Razor has been stepping up on moments as well,
so I think the pieces are there for Fnatic.
You just have to try and find that moment against KC here to make it work.
I think they're not making it easy for themselves in drafts, guys.
I feel like they don't have the tools sometimes to do what they can do best.
So maybe a different approach here, especially in this last match.
It is a battle of the exes once again.
KC took down Mainzer, Bukalap, Striker even in the coaching staff.
Today they're coming for Upsets and for Vladi.
This is the final pentakill actually.
It is the pentakill, let's hear me in the comments right now.
For sure you can feel the energy whenever Vladi walks on to that stage.
He is not very well liked in his arena.
It's the real 2xKO in this one.
Xenophilic, Nake, both of them hit one punch.
I think it's like, I do think if you're a KC,
like it's not exactly just a walkover, right?
I do think Fanatic have shown some life and again
I think Vlad he has been someone who has stepped up quite a bit this weekend
Like I really liked his performance on the victor and it was the focal point of fanatic Steve
He could carry even the Ari charms were clutch in some of these moments. So I think that's where I'm looking on
Especially because upset has been consistently performing consistently getting these leads
It's just about getting everything to click for them at once
I mean all my eyes are towards the bottom today the fact that we have opposite versus callist opposite new
He joined KC knowing Calis was downstairs. He's waiting to take the elevator up to replace him warming up the seats
Absolutely, and I feel like when we see flatic win it is usually because upsets and
Lospa is looking quite good in the 2v2 and I think yesterday with the air surfing couldn't quite find leads
Where they needed to in lane?
I want to see them draft for upsets because I think they need him to win on this stage and
Lady on the other side one of the big questions we had as you said, but he's been
Performing much better. I was wondering how much the pressure
was going to get to him. Turns out he doesn't care. He blocked that noise and he made the best of it.
And I think that's the reason why he's been looking so good. I do think it's a little far underneath him.
And again, I think he's also been looking at finding good positions where he can support the team, right?
He is willing to put himself in Ham's way to make that big play happen.
And that's something that I think has been missing from Vlad's gameplay for a little bit of time now.
It feels like Nerdy, the haste has fueled the confidence to then step up and be that big carry.
I see this, and I also see a very angry KC after what happened yesterday.
Sure they won the series, but they wanted to win convincingly against shifters.
We can hear the fans giving up and chanting, waiting for them to step on stage.
I feel like it is going to be a complicated game for Fnatic today,
especially seeing them in a dire situation, I expect KC to tie back.
I mean, there's a lot of avenues for a favorite KC.
My eyes are on top, and as well, Mpros, you need to hold on, buddy,
because Kanna is coming for you.
On the side of KC, which player are we looking at?
They've been shining at different points, different times.
Not specifically yesterday, but if there's one player you want to see shine today on the side of KC, who would that be?
Look, I'm not gonna lie, I'm the biggest P.C.O fan right now.
I think this man has been absolutely insane.
The Lulu performance yesterday was clutch in some of those team fights.
And when the focus seems to be on the bot lane between Upset and Kalis,
I think it might be the secret sauce a little bit for KC in that bottom lane.
I mean, for me, it's got to be the sweet.
I know I'm biased, but I love the IPC seed.
I love seeing him in play, I love seeing him evolve.
And to me, he is one of the stars on his KC lineup.
It has been a weekend about KC and 4KC fans.
They entered that roadshow knowing that they were in their house,
they were in their arena and they were going to have an easy road.
They went for the first kill with the first team,
the second kill yesterday against Schifters
and today they're looking at taking down Fanatic here in their home,
in front of their home ground.
Everything has been absolutely electric
and the fans have delivered so far.
Like they always do with the Blue World,
you always know that you're going to have a blast.
It is time for us to finally
send it over the stage
for the final best of three
of this every road trip,
KC vs Finale.
and we are going for the second match they have waited for this match all weekend
they knew in what situation they were going to be welcomed
win against the team they receive
win against those who have lost no match
here is their goal
you have to be ready when you wear this jersey
Mario.
Magic!
A mix of a couple of
champions!
To the jukers!
Rater!
A roll of mid laner!
Franny!
Ocarina!
Opset!
I'm a ship of...
...RUSPAAAAAAA
NADGE!
Accompany the club's gas to the coach staff
MEW!
I'm so scared!
I'm so scared!
For the last one, here, in France, in the back!
They are ready for this energy for the rest of the season!
With a goal, a goal for the split, and a qualification for MSA!
The Karmic scores!
I'm not going to let you go.
Votre Midlane!
Yeah!
Boom!
Toujours à la limite! Toujours au contrôle!
Car Mid! Votre Pro-D!
Yeah!
Mid!
He has been discreet for that he is not going to win!
I'm not gonna let you get away with this.
I'm not gonna let you get away with this.
Kill them if they come out!
I'm going to ask you a little bit of calm in the room, because it's a very important time.
We wanted to give a tribute to one of our most loyal supporters, Jonathan Hamadi.
We are joining them in the memory of a long-time KC fan who attended every KC event and was involved with the Red Wall Association, which organized this tournament for the KC community.
Jonathan Hamadi, you see his jersey, he passed away at 29 years old and he grew up here in every Kokorin.
Please join us in the arena for a moment of silence.
Thank you, thank you everybody, he was turning for Casey for the very beginning as he was
involved in every event was involved in becoming opposition as well.
We have a final series of the weekend, KC versus Fnatic as we're about to head into
pick and ban and what is a beautiful display the touching display to get us
into this final series the passion from these fans is nothing but a joy to be a
part of but now we get ahead of what will be hopefully a very exciting way to
end our weekend hopefully KC versus fanatic KC I mean the death's covered
It's been touched on you heard it from the crowd the former KC players and upset and bloody
Part of this series is about proving how they were right
The changes that they made
Fanatic the situations. Yeah, there's a bit of pride online, but right now they need wins. Yeah with a spot and plows on the line
They find themselves with only three series left to play just being one of them. They need every winner they can get
Oh yeah.
None of them were tough spot.
Casey with a win.
We're locking playoffs and I mean for the positive for them
wouldn't have been such a great way to finish off the weekend.
They go flawless, tested by shifters yesterday
but locking in playoffs and being
the only undefeated team
put a statement on Casey's back saying
they are the team to beat, they are the best
for the LSE Spring.
And anyway, it set us up nicely for a final intense weekend against one of the top teams that we have in the LEC, over at Madrid.
But that's fine now. We're getting ready for this final best of three. We're going to be jumping into drafts.
What will the focus be? We heard the death story a lot about the bot lane.
We see the bands already coming through thick and fast.
Dain, Norris already taking up the ball, Orianna and Azir also will move.
We're expecting things like Karma, Ryze, I mean there's the Karma.
We're gonna be banned already by KC.
And so, all the Ryze viewers are up right now.
Two mid-day bands from recent towards Yehru.
Are they gonna leave the Ryze open?
Remember Ash Seraphine as well, that's a direction that KC absolutely love to go for as well.
First one, a box bank and a big toss up of Ryze Seraphine, Seraphine goes.
So Ryze, too good to leave.
But also we have a couple of junglers that zin's out, Pantheon.
I'm running Pantheon right now for KC.
Ah, but it's kind of, it's beautiful.
I feel like that's the way the direction, right?
Well, good.
So that means that, well, KC have a ton of options now.
They can go Jarvan, they can go Pantheon, they can be very flexible with what they want to do in the jungle wall,
given that so many of the, so many have opened, I should say.
Hey, but if you take care of that as well, you've also got the Rise Pairing,
so you've got these semi-globales.
Absolutely.
To really rotate around the map.
And that's the debate right now for Fnatic.
Do they just, oh, it looks like they want to take the Jarvan away,
so the global potential not going to be available to them.
I'm not wondering, Koki Nami is available, do they want to grab that for themselves?
I wonder what Lucian has done to these teams as well. We've seen how strong Lucian here in the combo is.
More teams are prioritizing. For now, it looks like the Fanatic is thinking about going towards Upset's Caitlyn, which has been very effective at.
So Caitlyn gets locked in here. Note on the other side, there is a bar that's available.
Okay, weak side 10 for Ampros once again, but he bought it. It's not like it's a big priority.
Next time, we're still at Casate, we're still up.
Yeah.
Empostocides, long-wanging game for the Jarvan is better.
I'm genuinely surprised that they've decided not to prioritise.
No, I'm not going to, because this means that their game plan is to leave
what they completely open, and then instead, lock in AB, sorry, mid lane.
I mean, we had a bit of a chat with Odo yesterday.
I mean, a positional coach, well, existing coach, I should say.
Or a club member, so yeah.
Yeah, but one of the things they talked to us about was it just felt that one of the biggest strengths is playing to their bot lane and they just didn't really get winning bot lanes.
So this draft very much suggests that they want to try and draft towards getting a strong bot side 2 vs 2.
With normal span I'm wondering like do they lock in their support into the ground themselves to rise?
Do they instead think about just getting their top side, no they want to get the AD carry, they want to take the Ezreal away.
And they compare this up with the Nami, they have to feel confident if the Nami gets banned away, they've got other options to pair alongside it.
I mean, with the Ezreal, they're not going to, you know, as you said, if the Kama's already gone, Nami's probably going to be banned away.
Yeah, the Kama's worth thinking about as well.
Perfect model of my angel, I guess.
But also just Ezreal and Leona, often when I think about ADs, I think about supports that they like to play with.
Ezreal Nami works, Ezreal Carmel's good, Ezreal Lyona is a combo that has a little bit more kill-threat and great combo potential,
but also synergizes with champions like Jarvan, which give you a lot of long-ranging gage.
Now, whether or not they'll go that direction, very much depends on what gets found away.
So that Nami then gets removed, Carmel is already gone.
So I'm not thinking to myself, what else could they pair with it? Maybe a Niko is a possibility.
They very much depend on what fanatic's feeling and how aggressive they want to be in their ball-in 2v2.
Maybe it's going to be double support then and that Niko will be taken off the board.
For now, Fnatic focusing on Lady Carries.
We said Callis doesn't have that available.
Catherlin's the obvious answer, maybe Barus goes next.
Callis, I mean, he plays any Lady Carries.
Sivir, he's wanting to play the hell of a lot as well.
So scaling up is going to be taken off the board, but again, that Barus is there.
If he's going to prioritise, how are you going to play?
Do you want a problem with Barus? It's a genre corn.
In the right inch?
It's not that.
It's not probably going on who Barus.
It's definitely not something you really want.
You want something with a dash. Corky is something that's very high-pro.
Yes, you know, this is interesting.
So they ban away the Anivia, almost taunting out the rise.
I feel like it's the kind of, the guaranteed pick now for Fnatic.
And yeah, they're going to secure it for themselves.
Yeah, who doesn't have DSV here?
What matchup do you think we take?
What do you mean by bringing out a lot?
Any another one?
It could play Casio if it feels like he's confident in the matchup. Again though, no auto mobility.
Because right now, Fnatic have a lot of long-range games. You've got Jarvan and Ornn at your side.
It's very easy for Fnatic to start fights whenever they want.
And he does get locked in.
Ah, yes.
But the biggest question is how do you carry it?
What is Calista for game one?
A lot has been taken off the board.
It could be a main angle really do you think so? I mean it just adds a lot of self-feel. It's good into the Ezreal matchup
Is it good into home?
Home Jarvan? Well in theory she's good at killing front lines if you can hit them
Is she not any better than you?
Yeah, I think she has a job. She has a job.
That's what they want. That's what they want.
But you know how it's going to be looked at. Okay, Casey Scott, like, truthfully, I do like what Fanatic have gone for
I feel like it's gonna be Leona, but we'll see which direction they end up going
They didn't I see things sometimes
Because I saw this
So rocker
Are you worried though about the long-range engage in first?
So I
Really like fanatics. Oh, okay. They've got really good. They've got good team fighting
They've got good front to back, they have side lane pressure, and Soraka scales insanely well.
He does.
Like, it's one of those things that often gets underestimated, but run the ultimate, drops.
Oh, we've just taken a bunch of damage.
It gets removed immediately.
Where Anti-Elevency becomes very important, but...
Yeah, I think that KC, they're relatively short-ranged.
They don't have the easiest engage tools.
Their side lane isn't as strong compared to the Ryze.
I feel like they're...
Sure, they've got a lot of individual playmaking out, aren't you?
But on paper, I do prefer Fnatic's comp.
I think I'm pleasantly surprised by the Soraka. I think it's a great fit pick.
Alright, Vinny. I'm with you.
I'm cautiously optimistic for Fnatic.
Cautiously, the word.
But for Fnatic, I mean throwing an A-maker in for Game 1 draft.
Let's see if it's strong enough.
His flighty is on something that can control the game.
Move around.
Ampros on weak side.
I'm curious about the lane here and how it wants to go against Boussio's bar.
He's beginning to sudden drift.
KC are behind their team once again.
It's coming for a look to go undefeated in the LEC spring so far.
Yeah, I mean for KC they've had three games.
get the studio back in Berlin, and they played three games as we came in, and the last three games are in Madrid.
Yeah.
And they've got some...
I'm going to say it's slightly tougher competition going into that weekend.
That is a big weekend, like G2, GX and MQI.
Yeah, it's so...
And they've all been in their home ground this time.
They'll be in enemy territory.
They'll be in some building, and that's okay.
And they're absolutely relevant.
They've got the deal with it.
So, setting themselves up with the 6-0, obviously, getting out six wins will put them in playoffs.
And, yeah, they're looking a lot by winning this series.
Whereas for Fanatic, as you can see in the top right of the screen, two wins, four losses.
They've only got three series left to play, and so they need every win that they can get
because it's not an easy journey to secure that top six spot.
No, it is not.
But getting it out of the way early, I mean the pressure comes off and even in case he
hasn't been playing that badly with pressure on the shoulders there, nice training from
you by the way.
Using that range of the ante to get him bloody space, he's already kind of set back in.
I'd have to burn that pot nice and early as level 2's here first if you look towards
bottom line.
Upset and lost but running in, finding a bit of success here as Starkol tries to
get over us and everyone knows Soraka, if Q hits, you've done your job poorly
Is that enables the infinite sustain or you have to worry about his loss of his mana in the process?
Make sure you dodge Q. That's lesson number one that everyone knows.
Last play in the Syracca.
Why do they don't? We haven't seen a Syracca in competitive for a while.
Yeah.
Last play is 101 on the Syracca. Last play in the 2023 LCK Challenger Series.
And the last Syracca we saw in the LCK was three years ago back in 2023.
So it's been a while.
Stalkall hits again.
Look at the sustain.
In a meta of ranged supports,
I felt like it was an inevitability
that we'd start digging deeper into the pool.
What did we see in the return of the uni?
One would receive the arrival
of the Sarakman. It feels like we're getting
deeper in there with now the arrival
of, I mean, nearly all of this we can
and now the Sarakman.
I'm loving the meta right now. It feels like the meta is so versatile.
I think it meant everywhere else, kind of exciting, it's yike.
A lot of new faces, it won't blue up, he now got some scuttle crap and really nice training, just shouldn't hear.
Brazell gets up at the time being, trying to make something of the bottom lane.
He's going to pick the bottom scuttle, he will be sent an award now.
Okay, it can, Brazell will pull off the dive, he has to catch this wave if he wants to go for it, here you go.
Can I see these people down there in the silence?
They all in the flash, oh no!
The binding and the upset, the cleanse!
Luckily not tanking up anymore.
Losfer's the run back to.
Yeah, so, an early silence comes through from Losfer.
To basically prevent Kalis from dashing away.
Side-stepping the EQ.
You know, the EQ actually misses,
because Kalis just walks out of the silence
and is able to avoid that.
Then, upset ease underneath the tower,
meaning that now he's in a very precarious spot because he's thinking
oh no I might have tower aggro in here, I gotta get out ASAP gets rooted underneath the tower
thanks to Puccio and the dive ender being away.
Loss was moving already by the way, he's going towards me but maybe uh yeah
Bloody looks like he's around 50% remember again Soraka's passive
salvation if you're below 40% of your max health you get the move speed
home guards obviously going to come through so he's going to walk the lane just fine but
that bonus movespeed is 90% and it's going to be a lot here as the game goes off to the
mobility of this support pick from Fnatic. That comes through from Upset so Lothian's
going to get busy looking at a different lane while Cameron Pants to yike goes around
the bottom side and will quickly almost squat out lost but as he makes his way.
Both supports just hovering around that mid-wave.
Nothing to offer their support in the event of any potential game.
Jenny with good push for now though.
No dragging on the boards, which means that no early playmaking around that neutral objective.
And of course continues to play on the weak side, but we are seeing Connor running the first strike.
So he's going to be farming up some early gold, that's why a lot of the advantage is going to be six.
holding his ground, Razok face checks.
Not Boussio was expecting that,
but Razok didn't move against the wall,
which is nice.
So no conflict fighting for three.
With a slow down damage,
and Boussio is gonna walk out while control wall
is taken by Razok.
Level five here on the Jarvan,
as he gets rid of the shine on the way out,
has a grog to take,
and bottom scuttle is gonna be the third one
sporting here in this game.
The only thing we kind of glazed over
and drafted was the fact that Boussio did get his bath.
Yeah, and he got it yesterday as well.
It was a mistake from Schipman.
It's a champion that you've become very synonymous with.
Especially over on his time in Flycrest with Morph America,
it was a champion that you just...
Teams were scared to give him because of how impactful he was on it.
So I'm trying to say to the game, there's not a lot of pressure in the two versus two,
but already running good body. Now we get the fight over the club.
It's a beautiful one, Razzle. You're flying in drags on the scuttle.
He wants to get a first one, comes down to Razzle, gets level six, cataclysm advantage.
Yike isn't being able to do anything, and yeah, who even moving down will just end there.
Razor, it looks like that he was overstaying his welcome, but he had the smite upgrade.
So we did 900 compared to the 600 from Yike.
I see 900, 600.
He basically had an upgraded smite as my point.
I'm still in a different universe, so you can tell how old I am.
Don't worry, bro. You know, he's smite apparently, two upgrades, what's the point of time?
My point is that Razor's smite was upgraded.
And because he has that upgrade, he was able to kill it instantly and he had that advantage over Yite.
So what play by him?
Central game for the bottom lane, Buccio.
It's good damage coming through, it sends in the digital pay blade over into LOSPA.
But LOSPA getting here, always going to be the priority here from KC, is let's press over to level 6.
Transcend is now available, yeah, who would tip us up and available.
But Fladi adds a bit HP.
Oh, he's OK. The crowd loves it, however.
I don't know, I think, where are the lungs coming from?
I know, they just keep going, I genuinely really impressed.
That's great. I mean I saw some people on line complaining about it guys.
This energy is electric, it's fantastic. It gives me a really good self-luck for it.
And the flying and dragging that knock on Brasov, beautiful time, yeah, he's in trouble.
That might so answer for a bit, this flight he gets first of all.
Yeah, nice gang there for Brasov, nice setup for Vladdy.
Yeah, he was a bit perma pushing in this midway, won't be one.
And finally, Razzwick sees an opportunity to find an early gank.
Gold still relatively even, largely because of the gold advantage
Khan is building up on the Wampie one in top lane.
But Vladdy, getting that first blood for himself,
can accelerate the rise and put him in a great spot.
I would say though, M Cross is doing pretty good.
Like keeping CS in the slainest group,
30 hours of heel, good point away from Fanatic.
Yikes coming in, look at the angle, magical journey.
Locker and jumble, tries to drop down and Q and up,
Up to get the tag, regardless. Transcendence are quite a ruin, but not enough damage yet.
TP flank is KC, have to get out of their rods, also in-catch with them on boots, so he gets silenced.
Lothar picks up the kill as Jake flashes away, but with a rune present, flash Q from Lothar, brings out the credit card.
Jake's gonna double-fire and drag through shot execution from Upsend.
Three kills for Fnatic, they're only getting greatest. That's a realmwarp.
Lothar comes in with bloody, placed up against the wall. They're gonna equinox him, silence him.
Razzle gets the kill and Fnatic's bottom lane helps it up a brilliant early game.
Who is this Fnatic and where have they been all weekend?
4-0 the score line here in the early game.
It's KC that tried to gank the bot lane of Fnatic.
Look at the heels.
Absolutely monstrous keeping Upset alive.
He doesn't have his flash available but he's able to get away to safety.
Then Razzle uses Boussio's own portal to gank the lane.
And Laspig has the initial kill, Vladi sets up for the roots, a flash in, applies the slow from the starfall from Laspig,
and he ults he just at the right time from up there to allow him to get the kill, and then Vladi creates the flank with the round warp.
Vladi is locked in, looking to get revenge against this formative.
And once revenge, he was a shut up, a band, like, he knows the band's up, but it's got to feel good.
When you wipe that smile off their faces, the blood is well bound to you on his head.
Gold all through the lanes right now.
As I said before, it's not like Kana has a giant leader of Ampros.
So, great news.
Early Amphinatic now leading to the Dragon here.
The Trizok started on Vision.
Felicin Boussio though, they have too much to contribute as they try and vote to Mid.
Mid generally right now, looking very strong for Amphinatic.
Ucio is just peeing a pest, hovering around.
Might as well be able to smite that one away.
That's the first dragon of the game.
Grubbs on the top side.
Not currently being contested.
Mosba and Upset.
Very nice trading against Kalis.
Overall,
it's fantastic looking comfortable with this early game.
Again, I want to come back to this Soraka pick.
Like, so far in this game, we've seen how much value it's provided.
Yeah.
Like, in these skirmishes especially, just that extra HP, and you highlight it, as long as she's landing those Qs, she gets her HP back, she can heal you even more.
And this is what I mean when like, once the further healing items come through for Soraka, things get very, very scary.
You need that anti-heal ASAP on the side of KC.
And yeah, I really like the approach to Fnatic approach. Let's see if they can maintain this momentum though.
Of course, when it comes to a team like Fnatic so far, the conversation for them this weekend has been, they have no early game.
The way in which they've won games has been through late game punishers, late game teamfights, finding ways to come back into the game late to rock.
But so far, Fnatic have found a little game lead, they've got the first dragon, they're also going to get the Grubs.
And the Fnatic fans right now at home are getting cautiously excited.
Yes, they are. But they know there's going to be more of this. I mean, the eye loss will find out.
Yeah, if he gauges or does his charge, remember the wish is available for Longford, but will he get to use it?
No, he just dies instead. Kevin Bay from Muzio catches up that out and flashes away.
The KC make the play on bottom. Finally gets that first kill.
A nice response from Jake. Finds his way into the Alcove, but that's a long one.
You're right. It brings in two. It's flighty. It's a cataclysm. And it's Ampros.
Kill him down, Carla.
Fnatic making the cross map happen. They see three members bot. They turn their attention up towards top
And for us into picking up the kill which in an ideal world is not the way they wanted to go for hay
They'll take that kill regardless. We look back at the play down towards the bottom side
You should get spotted on vision so they know he's on the outside of the map
They know he's moved into the Alcove. I didn't realize they actually had infusion
Oh, but yikes chooses to stay so I guess they think at this point like you can see lost
There's a little bit cautious as he's a little bit worried.
And he's got to check this.
And he goes to check, but he goes a little bit too close.
The silencer doesn't really connect.
He ends up getting locked down.
Los was got no way to escape.
And then Upset has to flatch away.
Casey, the patience pays off, but then again,
the Crossback can't count this.
Good round walk comes through from Ladi,
Brits and Hazel.
Emperos is happy to tank up the tower being on.
And they find a clean dive in top lane.
7-0 from Vladi coming into the value already, 4 out of 5 field participation, nothing involved and
one of the ones through the bottom lane. For now though, early game continues to be brilliant.
First dragon was picked up, gold lead mainly on Razlok who I have to say,
I think this but Razlok has that disappointing performance been majorly inconsistent.
This weekend even, someone engaged yesterday on the Wukong, jumping in without ulti.
We had massive question marks against him. Hopefully today he fixes that as
Sundance guy already picked up yike. Yes is also there, but the Rock West also just completed
So a lot of swapping happening already
Upset has the advantage
Mistake it called boards. God was up. I'd be scared. Maybe kind of scrap shield and run away regardless
He's okay for now meanwhile yucks coming for the game flag and dragon bottom lane Divas
It's a rough, tempered fake blue show, legendary catacombs and brings back the play with the wish, the wish, the wish!
The knock up there, the bloody gets stunned, Tiffus is getting pissed off and he needs to get out, he tights his way, our young green gates get the plus,
out of mid laner of fanatic, room prison up, Lossba still alive, he puts down the equinox and lambs, up check of a kill on the backline, and it's a rough, he's paying dividends!
Oh my goodness, the ambulance working perfectly!
Lospa taking excellent care of every single patient that he has,
making sure that none of them get within deaths grasp.
He keeps everyone alive, Fnatic flying three kills off the back of that play,
and just watch Lospa. So a great response from Buccio, because he connects two,
right with the silence, roots yank on the backside so we can't follow up,
then the wish comes through. Another heal, another heal!
Vladdy then gets isolated, he gets lund up, but the heels again!
Keeping Vladdy alive, the lock up on the yike, Vladdy flashes away to safety.
Another slow, another heel. Everything simply perfect from Razor, from Lospath.
The damage from Vladdy. Fnatic with a 4.5k gold lead against Casey.
It's a great early game, you know, but I think you'd be happier if you were about 5 minutes ago
we're 14 in and I swear this is the biggest goal that I've seen in fanatic
quite a while in the first three minutes of the game. It's one of the most
convincing reads I've seen from Fanatic but as I know fans will be saying
that he don't say anything until they actually hit the nexus because we've
seen Fanatic build these kind of leads before but what a great position
a hundred percent kill participation from Razork he's been involved in all the
action and lost spot on the Soraka doing wonders as he he's granting the wish to
the fanatic fans right now and he's got a dream bubble upgrade he's also got
Moodstone renewal so those heels those actual and feeling is gonna be big it's
rumble from bloody coming in call before it's got layers and flashes out
Kana he's not gonna run away from bloody but plays not gonna commit any
further Kana now down a flash and again they're starting to pulling the
top lane well guy can make it makes an appearance now this is a good start
from KC because they know that the
Forge God doesn't have his ultimate available so that advantage
He's going to be TPing back in he just went some of his gold Harold's getting now down to about 5k
That's all cats a cataclysm of L
That's an engaged tool even a fly can drive jumps on a young immediately fly can drags out
Meanwhile the knock-up in the air while Harold it's not going down and said all my colors the wish comes in
I've said I bet you thought KC is getting out
They want to be ejected the eye not claim it and then for us look for the charge
He flashes, searing charge, knock up tempered fate, stops the play.
Casey stick around but upset again.
Arcane chips over the wall, the chase continues.
But remember, no eye at all!
Off the left hand, Buccio gets clipped.
Upset finds a nice snipe.
Buccio actually walks in through it.
He was out of range, but he saw it.
He panicked, reacted by walking in
and for now they get themselves another kill.
The Herald did go the way of Casey,
I think they picked it up, I'm looking at those bars, they weren't able to grab it, so it's a win for the fight for Fnatic, they get themselves two kills, 10 to 1, 16 minutes in, what a phenomenal start, we look back at the fight, Vladi on the flank has to be cautious because he knows he gets engaged on, Razzard ulti's in, Yike gets one shot, an ulti from Carnival doesn't really do much, the wish comes through, and the HP from Fnatic, this could have been much worse if it weren't for the fact that Puccio connects that cosmic binding,
But as KC retreat as they look to escape, upset, drawing attention top, drawing attention top, a little debusier now that he had his target as we're back to line.
We are fighting again, but remember there is a striker here, it knocks down, sitting down that corner once more, every time a star call hits, lost, but gets sustained.
Didn't hit that one, but it doesn't matter because KC can't be in a choke like that.
Did you get the flash out from upset though, it's a small win game for KC, ulti's thrown out towards top, gets a chip of damage down,
But okay just testing the watches casey we're interested in contesting those raptors
I don't think they were able to quite get them
We've got to go back to farming now the game kind of reaches a bit of a stance though for look at this hysterics
17 minutes in that's paltes on the side of
Fnatic they've been there for like four minutes. So Casey down that far behind this early on in the game
The game is saying hey Casey you need a little bit of help to come back into this game
Which is not what we expected from Casey here in game one of this bastard three
Since game one yesterday was this dominant dominant hit against shifters
It looked like it was setting up for a 2-0 only that in series are competitive is yeah
He's getting back up through fog of war through these offside brushes
Sneaking in his yike waiting for flight it over step, but he ain't doing it
And wall does seem up against his turret a scrying water spot if the yike is truly here. They won't clip him
But regardless yike will back away while pings are going down at the bottom lane
And when you're covering it, all the board's got them at least started, he has overheated, gets knocked up, he has no flash,
fly, he's trying cataclysm, steering charge, this guy's gone sky high!
Three times he got sent westward.
This Razzle gets a kill, knocked up there on the yike, who joins in once more, but then had to get another kill.
I mean, it's the easiest play for Fnatic to make right now. They don't really lose anything off the back of it.
In fact, they only gain. Razzle goes 3-0 and 8-continuing.
Here's 100% KP as he makes magic happen for Fnatic here in the other game.
A minute until dragon, for now they're just setting up some deep visions in case he spots a jungle.
They won that tower, bloody mate, very well just take the tower, look for a die.
Team has come down, bloody, still following the turret.
That just shows you Ryza's and Gekker's.
Lospa's here, have an infusion, it's okay.
Lospa took no damage or rather any of his own health really from pressing his W.
And that'll be the reality.
more and more health.
I wanted to make the joke about Call the Ambulance, but not for me, but the Ambulance is right
there behind them and it is there for Fnatic.
In fact, Casey would really appreciate that ambulance.
My goodness, lost but what a game from him.
I mean the Soraka pick, we talked about it in draft.
I could see the idea behind it and it's just working fantastically.
I wonder how much of an impact this will have because so many see the Bard as a
very safe blind pick.
But now we've introduced a new pick into that whole range support equation, which just adds a little bit more magic into the game.
And now it's just like, oh, we start playing more Jaffid, then we're gonna bring in some blitzcrank again, you know, and like...
It's like, do you remember the T1, well SKT back then, rocks with the MF support, I think.
Oh, yes.
I want to say it was a desire of...
Oh, cool list.
He doesn't get hit with a missed hit.
Oh, yeah, flash from Kana, turns into a gauge, hang on Equinox again!
Sollars are quite a bro and he'd like to get the shutdown.
Casey with a big kill, but now the fight is here.
You know, he could fly the drive up, call the forecourt,
the trumpets out, temipate, holds the play with Rezval,
as you're currently, once and no!
Yeah, he's saying supply!
Another shutdown to Casey, the dragon's down here,
and Casey have access.
Casey are not the type of team to go quietly without a fight,
but they catch up, so out in the mid lane,
he doesn't have his flash available.
Nice training from Kallis to set up for Kanata. Flash after him and it's just as the Dragon spawns.
Casey stopped the stacking of Dragons and they show that they've still got some bite left in them.
Yeah, fanatic bang. It's not over, is it?
It's only just begun with Casey stopping Dragon's second getting 2000 gold back with massive shutdowns.
While he's able to get something in the middle end with his turret, but
if we look at the replay, it started with Upset and Kallis.
And so, Kalis loses the Strage, forces him back, but it's Karna. He walks up, flashes in and applies the slow, but healing is nowhere near enough to keep Upset going.
He has no way to get out as Yike touches in, and then Razor says, hey, we can still win this fight. They turn their attention onto Yike.
He throws the ultimate out to buy himself a little bit of time so he doesn't take any damage from the on.
A good ulti from Pussy, who is about to stop Emberos from following up, and Yike leaves with just barely any HP.
I wonder if they should alter the three stack instead of the one. I do want to the same thing
He would have at least gotten maybe a double flush out from Calisthenia who but
But that 4k gold he now shrinks to two. Yeah, it's down
The biggest thing you have to ask yourself is how confident do you feel a fanatic going into this mid game?
When Casey have a lot of buttons they can press. What is the thing in terms of comp?
I do just favor fanatics comp
But that's assuming that they get the fights that they're looking for.
The problem that we just identified is that Fanatic was attacked during the setup.
They kind of lost focus and Casey took advantage of that.
And that's where Casey is looking to attack them.
They've got Xen, they've got Annie, they've got Bard.
Easy champions that are very good at catching you out.
I was personally surprised that it was the Rumble to initiate that pick.
But that's my point, is that when you miss position, Casey is the type of team to punish you for it.
So Fanatic, they can't assume that the job is already done on a lead like this.
And now things are starting to fall apart for Frenatic, a silly misplay from Razork.
The EQ's over a wall, tries to clear out a ward, and not only does he lose his own flash,
but he forces Emperor to do the same.
Emperor loses his ultimate.
And right now, that shouldn't be that much of an impact, but for that take, after such
a fantastic early game, they can't afford to be making silly mistakes like this.
Not especially when that Baron is up.
Obviously they're going to fight to listen to mid-laner's run-wall coming from
Bloody as well.
There's the cataclysm and Blindergragner as they connect to this.
Big commit with a tie-up and available.
Equinox went to a down-to-use, Kalista survives.
Now the problem is Jekyll's pretty good.
Jocelyn's body and Harmy's knee.
Russell back in for a down-strike.
Be quiet, they're down.
Okay, there's a lot of blinking health bars,
but no one dies in the exchange.
Fnatic do get the flash and Barry out from Kalista,
but both Vladi and Russell have to commit that flash as well.
On a Razor-Gordy-Burton flash early, my apologies.
If Vladi committed this flash to try and chase down Kalista in that fight,
he wasn't quite able to find anything.
Fnatic looking for pinks themselves trying to focus on staying as a group
The TP still available across the board. Oh, kind of actually invest it is to try and assist the team in the middle
I did drop that ultimate of course
We're getting closer to the fourth dragon of the game. I've been at 30
He got him discrepancy between the two mid laners
True both the world of ages and seraphs now fully stacked for Ladi
Topside I would say kind of in pretty good item advantage himself. He's got seekers
which probably is on you soon enough he's got the top wave to contest with and
playing on the bar inside right now without that TV you mentioned that he
seems like the natural way to go.
Come up here with the reset or just walk down regardless there are also pings going up
as his KempTech Dragon is up in a minute but can't even stay on the
wave and it doesn't look like KC are preparing for it all instead Yaksu can
be invading to find Mpros up in top. Searing charts for the disengage and
four members now showing that maybe not dragging it maybe they don't care about
the dragon at all well I mean they should have enough time to take this
tower reset and go contest because if you look at the bot side vision
fanatics already have any there's nothing for them to cross back because
they've already taken that bot tower a bunch of members ended up just
resetting so Casey just got a completely uncontested tower and very
little that fanatic was able to get off the back of that
we're going to interrupt the base from Calist but now fanatic have invested
their reset. They have that gold advantage spent. The Spirit Shogun now finished in the
middle lane. Wise is the only one that hasn't come back to base. He does have his TP. He'd
love to be level 16 ahead of this fight, but I don't think he's going to have the chance
to get it. So, top lane pushed out, midway pushed out, Dragon now spawning. Here's
KC to respond. As you said, yeah, they did indeed have time. The Teleport comes
in for Nadek is five. And of course, that's the mighty shield. He's even going
and send an item, I believe, over to upset four to five.
Forge work done, and then I can move into position.
Dragon starts, KC gonna be a little disassembled,
moving to it, 4K already.
Guy's whipping to the steel, but he's running in alone.
There's the burst from the body,
Paul the Forge gone, gets a flash out of the middle,
and now he equalizes down.
Yikes, Forge's just been out of the way.
They're disassembled, because they went for YAHOO.
Zebra's about to dive it.
That means Dragon goes over to KC.
YAHOO regates, I'll tell you,
I can chip that ball and I'll come back.
Razor finds something on the boot,
a match for Journey around Warbin, that's Embross, he's got no HP, he gets a Searing Judge, what a baller!
He gets in with no health, no advantage, but Kalizzi starts flying away, tries to bump the bottom to 1 for 1, he's dead!
Kinetic supreme of their wards, but the Dragon might go down, but now Baroning attention with 4 of KZ in the ground.
What a messy fight, but Fanatic somehow make it work, they keep 4 members alive, they will get themselves to Baron, and they'll take back control of Game 1.
You gotta say it looked a little bit shaky when you know who was the target giving up Dragon, but for Maddox end up picking up half piece by piece.
Yeah, I think committing to Razzle to Yannu was such a big surprise. Look at Upset and Wasper. They can't contribute anything.
So Razzle and Emperor are trying to get out of the fight, I think it's a smart choice. But Wish comes down trying to keep Emperor alive and it just barely survives.
Casey turned their attention towards the dragon and they secure it. Upset then becomes the focus, but Colus basically decides there's nothing for us to do.
for us to do we've got a disengage you're gonna split core perhaps from Casey as half
driver retreat a half driver stay in the fight but fanatic don't want it to end
they want to take out Kallis he's able to trade it for Vladdy but it comes at the
cost of his own life where he has nowhere left to go baron now secured
for fanatic he only just got Vladdy by the way because of again these
astral infusions from Lossbach this arachapig was genius this arachapig
He's been so good.
It's enabling upset the front line and now with Spirit Shogun
and Calford's Warhammer for a bit of extra HP.
Upset feels very safe. Six-one and four on the Ezreal,
but he's not even the star of the show.
It does feel like again it is a support.
He's the guy.
Bloody finding a timbers on the hand, but the winch,
the winch from Bloody Pies a bit of time won't be enough.
KZQ finding pick. Four members commit though,
but mid is open, body's open. Will this be worth it?
I love the idea though from PCFast and Lethal.
They push through top. They find a quick pick.
They're looking to try and cross map and trade for an inhibitor and when Anec's not going to be fast enough, they will get this mid tower.
But the numbers in the wave that Casey have at their discretion, is that they're going to be able to get this top tower for free.
Oh, but it's not down just yet. Ampros trying to stop it, Pellows preps this out, but Dominion's, Dominion's he has to deal with.
He does eventually his results to the game. Casey corner three, Boots goes on the way to try and get an ulting.
This wave of course, 4-0, can it to them? Yeah, it's down an instant, knocked Scott high again,
he's shot, another zero in charge, and a double!
Fnatic silenced the crowd, now the run, can't have easy to get the hell out of Fnatic.
Fnatic have already found their kills and they've stopped the play.
Look at the minimap, I feel like Kasey's forcing Fnatic to kind of play to the beat of their tune right now,
because a nice response from Kalesi, he pushes in that mid wave,
Fnatic have no waves to play off, they still have a minute left on this baron,
But they need a wave to use and look at the list again moving to bot going to catch the one way that fanatic could have played off of
They waited too long to potentially TP to that side of the map now that turning their attention towards top
Ten seconds left on yeah who can fanatic secure this top tower looks like they're gonna be able to grab it
But it should end there right that should be the only thing I think that's it
Yeah
I mean Casey do the best that they can in this situation where they get to towers top lane and they kind of waste a lot of time
from Fnatic. A nice engage comes through from Razzok and Emperos. They're just
waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. And then the engage comes through. Huge damage
from Razzok. One shot, yeah, who would be the assistant of that cross. They then take out
Yakuha, who has nowhere really to go. But they are, they're kind of running
circles around Fnatic and they're forcing them to constantly respond to
Casey just being annoying. The gold gap hasn't really ballooned that much
more after securing the Baron. They obviously, Fnatic, are still a huge
gold injection but Casey still have ways to fight back in this game they're two
to two in dragons they're likely looking to contest the third in police
while all this has been happening is working towards his infinity edge fourth
item of the movie we've got an eternal hunger now given up for upset
more rather required and with four and a bit items offset I mean he's still
looks at one of the strongest on the riff right now but I will say Razok
is doing a number two. This is a four-item guardian angel, Jarvan, who with
empress have unlimited CC like it's knock-up, the cataclysm, interseering
charge from empress in the flag and drag being back up because it is a late game.
Fnatic have a lot of layering of CC. It's been nice game to watch here for
game number one. Fnatic look for another play. Onto the bottom lane. There's a
roll-move on the air who's been caught out a couple times. 0-1-4 might be 0-5.
Here comes Razlok again, but it won't be a dive yet.
Wait, no it is. Cancel him down.
It's perfect. Fyke and Draghouse have a fight.
Won't do much, but set up the equalizer.
But Yike is dead! Oh, the actualiser!
The wish gets him all out of health.
He's well called for foreshort.
As Carter comes out of being golden, he flies away.
Fyke and Drag, Razlok is having a much better day.
That's Buccio flies away.
And Vettio can't believe what I'm going to say.
But he's going to lose on Barn.
Unbelievable gain from Fnatic.
There was a brief moment where I thought that Casey was fighting their way back, but in that final teamfight a 5 for 0 Fanatic wiped them off the rim and they're not going to take game 1.
And my wish today was to see interesting picks, but Lospus's wish was to get a game 1 win with a Soraka versus Casey.
Fantastic innovation from Fanatic.
They wanted to get a strong bot side. They saved the Syracuse at the very end and it worked to perfection.
Beautiful game, has been able to take game one.
And Loyal is about to jump into the last pit again yesterday, very reserved.
And looks like again, he's very respectful once more, but...
He had a blast of a game number one, 15 out of 22 Kp as we had it over the stage.
I would like to ask you how much the Soraka has been clutched here, amazing performance from you guys.
How important and clutched was Soraka here?
Especially since we have J4 in jungle, I think J4 and Soraka combo is very good.
And we prepared this combo for one month, so I think it was a pretty good timer to show our new strategy.
Fantastic, let's see what else you have more. I'm going to let you join your team.
What he explains is that they have been working on this combo with Jardine for a long time.
These two champions are working very well together.
And he thought it was the best angle for us to get out.
This time, he came out, I'll give you the word.
That was sick from fanatic the early game looks so impressive
I can have remnants of what we saw from them against G2 and the just the control that came through to deny Casey
So much action was absolutely insane
I mean it has to say and it started in the mid lane
And it's actually the man who's the most hated man in this arena right now
Vladdy steps up together with Rassark and completes the snowball
It starts with a beautiful flash driven by him for the setup together with Rassark
And usually this is just one kill, but the way he snowballed this into the game lead was with this teleport
He recalls and suddenly Casey finds themselves overextended and he just comes in here
Cleans up and as you say turns the arena into a complete library
And I bet that felt so good for him
And I think this was the most impressive part for me for a fanatic was just how good they weren't reading what Casey
wanted to do. Consistently it was KC trying to make plays around this bottom side. We know
how good Bucio is on this bar. We know what Klist can do when he gets his hands on the
Unara, but Fnatic denied them any opportunity to do that. Consistently making sure they
were covering, finding ganks that were working, and they just ended up ballooning this lead
into, I mean, such an incredible spot.
And such a difference from what we've seen from them earlier in this weekend, right?
Against Nabi, they were just, well, against shifters, in fact, on day one, they were
just like, we'll fall behind. It's fine. Upset can get ahead, we can win through
but as you say, Vlad has had an absolutely stellar performance across the entire weekend.
Yeah, I mean, you say it's about foresight. To me, it's about hands.
Fnatic completely handshaked KC in their own arena, and there's one fight especially
that really caught my eye that I would love to do a brief field breakdown on.
And it started in the bot lane with Jarvan looking for Yehu, but look at this flag that he places,
because he's going to come back to us later. Bustu finds it a fantastic prisoner,
But look at the flag, he lands a free man knock up on all of Casey and now
Son of the Arena goes from shush outing Yeh-Hoo, Yeh-Hoo, to Lospash outing
Wee-Woo, Wee-Woo as he just heals up everyone in this fight. He tries to find
the final kills but the healing from the Soraka is just crucial here.
Also right before that Stasis hit, Lospat got that silence field down
which stopped any of the follow-up after that Bartoltz would have come down.
really clutch play from last, but in that, as you say, to heal up, but also just managing to see see people.
So the hands could be the difference.
It's a pic we just don't see that often, the Soraka in the support role.
And a lot of that is because she dies pretty quickly if you're on top of her, but we saw from KC,
they didn't really have great tools to actually get that phone to the backline.
Buccio's Tempafate had to be used so often to start to disengage and engage out of the jargon,
rather than being able to get onto that backline.
I mean, to be Soraka, it's the perfect win, the more champion.
because Soraka, you kind of need to kill her early in the fight.
But if you do everything to kill Soraka, if you're behind,
suddenly there's an A to carry, a mid laner, a potential top laner,
who's all super strong as well.
So you just use everything you had to kill their support
and you'll just end up dying at the back end of that fight.
So just a fantastic snowball champion,
but it requires to win that early game,
which not to give flawless lead in this game.
They really did.
And I do want to talk a little bit about the KC side of things.
They managed to get back into the game a little bit,
But we have seen more failures from them here in Everly than we saw across the rest of the split.
Apart from the Vitality Series Week 1, I think we gave everyone a little bit of grace.
But the rest of the time, they were just dominant.
You can argue it's quality of opposition.
You can argue it's being in your own house, having the fans behind you.
But it does feel like they've regressed a tad compared to where we expected them to be going into this weekend.
I do think they're, for certain games, you can say that.
I think this one for me was more about how well fanatic play with using the TP to that bottom side like covering with the rise
Playing towards the strength of their mid jungler like I think but I do agree
I think from the KC over the last couple of games
Hasn't been that same story right where I think KC just haven't been able to find that same level up
Hey, we want to try and get a strong lanes that can then lead in towards like playing around yike for skirmishes looking for invades
I'm trying to snowball through that and it does feel like they kind of lost a little bit of that
and I'm not entirely sure why, but it definitely feels like at least teams have identified that Ash Seraphine is a big pick for this bottom side.
We started to see it crop up way more as a band for them, and it feels like that kind of has taken at least one of the legs out of the chair is that Casey kind of sit on right now.
Yeah, I mean, it's as you say, and not just Ash Seraphine, but the point you brought up to me backstage was they got barred.
They got rumbled. They got all their comfort champions, but it didn't matter. I love this play by Fnatic the way they just cover for their pushing members.
and Casey they tried to make the aggressive play, they tried to punish his potential over extension
but it's once again Vlad with the room prison, who's just always there when needed
the fact that Stratik was so cohesive in his game, it's just something we haven't seen from them all for a bit long
And a big shout out to Razor, I think you did a fantastic job throughout this game
not only in the early skirmishes but also then as we got to those later fights like he was consistently finding those key targets
in the fight you just saw, he faked a list.
And look at that damage, that's a Jarvan!
That was slapping people in the face!
This is the most damage in the game on Jarvan,
a Black Cleaver, Sundered Sky and then GA.
It wasn't like he went Profane Hydra build or something,
he wasn't going for this one shot build.
Incredibly impressive, a lot of it as well
off the back of the fact, he knew he could go in
and be healed up immediately by Lospur.
I mean, it was an absolute statement game by Razor.
We have doubted him as the main engager
for Fnatic for quite some time.
It seems to be the direction Fnatic is going with.
Yesterday we saw a lot of first pick, Erdige pick junglers that just wants to engage.
Now again on the Jarvan and it looked completely different.
This is a reminder, Karmen Corpus never lost a series in their own arena.
Fnatic is now on the brink of destroying that stat by themselves.
And I think if we once again see Jarvan, not Jarvan, Razzark play like it does now
and his cohesiveness by Fnatic, I think they're on par to do it.
But that's the thing, like when you think back to that G2 series for that Fnatic 1,
It was Ryzark again on the Pantheon who was having an absolute stormer in the early game.
It feels like when this lad is switched on, but Adik can just take on the world.
And we've got to see now if he can do it for game number two.
Okay, let's talk about ideal situations for both teams.
Either of you have a preference. Do you want to take KC or Fnatic Robb?
As in like who I expect?
What is the ideal draft? How do they have to play to win?
Pick one team. Finch, you have yours?
Yeah, absolutely. I'm going to go with Fnatic.
And I'm going to say, keep Kana of Jace.
Do not let that thing go through.
Because with the worn out, and I assume a potential Sion band, if they want to set that up,
You cannot give Kanadi strong ranged lane bullies. He looks so dominant on him
I think that he was on rumble gave emprors a lot of grace because sure rumble will get ahead in lane naturally due to the first
Strike and just push but you don't it doesn't demolish the position in the same way that the Jace a vein and potential
Narc could do so for sure want to see them help emprors take out those lane bullies and make sure opposite
They keep pushing his lane and just whatever that he wants to do he gets to do I mean on the opposite side
I think finish it on the head
It's about getting those lane bullies like Ash Seraphine.
Yeah, who is looked, I think, best on things like the Azeir,
when he's able to get his hands on it, like Banner of the Orianna,
trying to solidify that, because then you can play towards those teamfights
where Casey have been spectacular.
And if you can try and find something that kind of can bully on the topside,
I think that's where you open up.
And if Buccio, Jyke, can get onto the same page,
I think that is when Casey look at their most devastating.
And they just haven't quite seen it this weekend.
So that's what we keep my eyes out for for the next game.
Yeah, Jyke really thrives when you can get into the enemy jungle,
getting their face getting pushing lanes for Casey totally agree with you both
thank you so much for your insight as we're gonna go to a short break but
afterwards we'll be back with the second game of this series we'll see if Casey
can keep that undefeated streak alive or whether we'll be the old guard of
fanatic to take them down for the first time
I have.
Is that?
I combo here?
I'm gonna lose?
I win if you not, I'm gonna do you not.
Yeah?
I can't, I can't, I can't.
Nice, nice, nice.
I win, I win.
Still single, okay?
Yeah.
Beautiful game, guys.
Nice, Bar.
Insane game.
Nice, buddy.
Nice, nice.
Nice, nice.
Nice, nice.
So, one more game, okay?
What's wrong with me today?
I think you should have a break.
Have a break. Have a KitKat.
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 range.
It's fine, man.
It's fine.
Relax.
I've got this.
And years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years.
Oh, there we go.
Look at that.
What are you still worried about?
Oh, fuck.
Let's give you a lecture.
Cause I'm simply the best
See the positive every day when I'm breaking the sweat
Minds a lot of shit, my girl's great
Type my favorite quest, thank you
I am born
Can't be bought
Or sold
I'm so confident
Whoa
They want a copy, yeah
Yeah
My profits are getting big, big, big
I'm on top of it
I promise I am the hottest and permanent never modest and star of flying rock of the stage I always rock out of luck at the end time
I could do it every night with big dividends, big love, big hype, pretty lights, flat base, nice body, pretty face, can't keep up with the pace
Everybody wanna taste if I show to a place even though it's over now, from the money moves baby don't mess with the flow
I'm so confident
They want to copy it, yeah
Yeah, my profit can't get big, big, big
I'ma try for this, style your opulence
I'm more confident
What is the biggest issue with you?
The biggest issue is that how we're playing on stage, not necessarily the lack of knowledge.
We just can't really translate what we need to do into the stage games and it's incredibly frustrating right now for us.
Especially for the fans, I imagine seeing us play like that.
So we have to work on how to actually perform on stage and do the things we do in practice and just be a good team.
I see some improvement and progress, but we're still struggling right now to find our ground in the stage.
We are not playing that well, and it's clearly showing new results, so we're still struggling.
Hopefully we can change it pretty fast.
There's just way too much hesitation, and then random things happen, and the random things usually turn out really bad for us.
So I think we need to really realize now that it's
Yeah, our last chance and just try to play with less regrets and really work on the things we're doing wrong
When we play good we can win I can say anyone in the league and when we play bad
We can lose second anyone in the league beating case you would feel amazing because they are definitely a very very good team right now and
Three out of five pairs are my estimates. So it would feel a really nice
I think I will just try to minimize the crowd noise because, yeah, obviously I think it's
gonna be, there will be a lot of noise playing against KC and as I said they were my previous
team so I will just try to minimize the noise and play my own game.
Vlad has got a lot to prove. Minimize the crowd noise, good idea especially when the
booing has been going on but, I mean, being real, Razork said they can win against
anyone they can lose against anyone it would be the most fanatic thing to do
ready to beat G2 and BKC. So sorry who have you been in this split? Oh yeah we've got a G2
win yeah and we also got a KC win. And this foot with Vitality win, but he's like never had a big win.
Alright well yeah fanatic right now they only need one more game they've got
two opportunities to do it I'm sure they'd love to run out the weekend
with a 2-0 just completely silence the crowd change the atmosphere the
The KC on the verge of going 6-0 in the split, everyone riding the high of there, potentially
undefeated, run throughout spring split, and then Fnatic go, yeah, no.
I think KC didn't make playoffs at the end of their weekend, it's like heartbreaking
for the fans.
Of course, because if KC do win this series, they will be called by them to play off,
so that's what KC is looking for, they're trying to look for 6 wins.
And for Fnatic, well, they're 2-5, so they need every single win that they can
get.
That's just the position that they're put in, and they've just got to be
who ever's in front of them which right now is KC they've already done it once they need to do it one more time and then they'll
They're odds of qualifying for playoffs do in fact increase. Yes, they do a lot in fact actually I would say that fanatic are probably gonna
If they can win this series here
I mean absolutely nothing because they also beat G2 and then they lost to reach immediately after maybe they are getting better
I don't know. I I would have no clue how to rate fanatic
Let's not try it. Let's just live in the moment and see what happens.
We're going to live in the moment as we're about to get in pick and ban because KC, hang
on, they're doing it again. Ladies and gentlemen, every time it goes to 6-7, they do it in
the crowd. They do, they literally on the countdown, they do it and then they go to
the next level. Like bro, what generation are we in?
You sound like an old man yelling at his TV right now.
I mean, every break they do it.
Yeah. Let them have fun, hysterics.
Okay, sorry.
Let people enjoy things
Again, I gave you this example earlier when millennials we thought Charlie bit my finger was hilarious
It was pretty funny. You see what I mean? We've all got our thing
I mean, we also thought Fred was funny and then I look back and then go that was pretty lame actually no offense to Fred
All days of YouTube aside
Let's see what case you pull out of the hat because fanatic showed up with the last pixel raka and
And to be honest it did a lot of heavy liftings, a shower of the loss bar.
We now have to find out if it's going to be a more normal draft or if KZ as I said has something to pull out of the heart.
Vy's gone, Catlin's gone, Norma's gone. On the inside of Panther the priority jungler already had the rise.
So with Orianna gone it means ST Midlands kind of off the board.
Unless we see in the Z-Elep through, which for yeah, who is best champion, I don't know if Genadek would have learned that guy.
Yeah, let's the big debate they seem to be having right now, they're taking the time with this final bang.
Looks like it's going to be this airpane, so as Yeh is open, Ladi, would you have a good answer for it?
I mean, he's going to have to, because Yeh is very likely to head in that direction, with Annie and Rai's both taken off the table.
Top line options we always have to consider as well. It's not often that we see kind of struggle on the Rumble, but...
Maybe even bot lane looks like it's going to be the Nami, so they wouldn't pair this
up along a lot of sides.
Dude, Fnatic's going to do Lucian Milio is my question interrupt.
Ooh, they could.
I'd love to see it.
I don't remember the last time we saw an upset play.
Oh my God, they're doing it.
They are doing it.
I mean, it's clear that this is a winning bot lane 2 vs 2.
We've seen it too many times now, against the Nami plus Horgie.
And why not? I mean upset and lost but they're riding the high
They want to get themselves a winning bot lane 2 versus 2 and it looks like that they're gonna get it
So because he will come through from yeah, who kind of is being expected now the question is what does laddie do?
Do they even bother locking mid in here now or do they instead wait till later?
Maybe grab themselves a jungle with Vi gone Pantheon gone will come raises in priority quite a lot
Do they want to secure something like the will come for a little bit more team fighting power?
Let's see what direction they're thinking about.
I'm looking at all-time stuff for upset 32 games played, 43, 44% win rate.
Resolutions are not his best champion, but they're sure.
Definitely up there as most players, a lot of AD carries.
We have the same thing, it's not like the champion.
He's been seen in so many metas.
Lucian's going on a three-game winning streak.
And you did mention earlier that it has so far been only played by Koreans, right?
So could the streak continue, and it's EU Lucian now thing, in the good sense?
Maybe oh God, it's not it. Okay, Betty
How do you compliment the nocturn? You need Aurora, right? Well, you need
Dive or side lane. Yeah, it's one of those two
So I don't really care what it is, but if you're gonna play towards side lane, that's fine
You just need something to compliment the side lane plays
If you want dive, you just need more dive. That's all you need stuff like Ari
I think can be fine. I think
What one is already gone, but
but ambassador can completely work just something to
compromise so that when Nocturne goes in he's not going in a low.
Right.
Well Aurora's taken off, KC has probably read that he needs a partner in crime.
Ambassador might be the next port of call unless KC want to leave it open and then pick
Renekton for themselves.
Now it's gone so maybe it will be like a Renekton or a tank angle.
Then BOSS remembering play side.
And I think it's probably thinking about locking in mid-tier and encountering whatever
Kana does top.
Don't you think they'll get blind top instead because MPOS but play weak side and then I guess you're right
I don't think you can just blind like a scion here
I guess when Azir is already up you just want to pick up
Because you know you're right
Gwen Bansett the KC might be thinking about the scion. Oh now this is interesting
So I did what okay now so Akali is a champion that I think compliments knocked it. Yeah, mainly because Akali
she can do two things. Number one, she can stall a lot. So when she dives into a backline,
she just creates a lot of chaos thanks to her shroud. But often, if she dives into the
backline alone, then she becomes a point of focus. However, Nocturne adds an extra layer
to the shroud. So I really like the... Oh my god, it's Yikes Karzik. It's Yikes
One of the few champions that can just out skirmish champions like Nocturne in the early game thanks to the isolation damage on the queue.
Yike has said this last split. He said give me Karzik so I will carry. That has to be the con once again. He wants to put Casey on his back. He brings out his signature pick.
Now, with Khazix, I feel like there's already enough in the machine, right?
Maybe a tank top bladder, making the front and back reneged it a bit more bruisish
to add in with the Khazix.
Psyon.
I feel like Psyon doesn't really make that much sense in this combat.
I don't feel like they need that frontline.
Right now they don't have someone like Tank Baron and Face Check for them, which is fair.
I mean, I feel like it's just gonna be a sound and then yeah, it is okay
I mean it is fine like it it's a fun line. It's a tank. It does what it needs to do
It's a body that can help you gain space around neutral objectives. I
Don't think it complements the composition perfectly, but it's fine like sound generally fits kind of whatever. Yeah, Casey
I think have a little bit more of a well orchestrated draft this time round
I would have preferred to sound more on KC side simply because when you have courtiers here
You are playing more from today, but by going for the renekton
You are going for a little bit more skirmishing power on the top side. They can still as an effective frontline
He is annoying for a colleague. I can't he just does struggle in a sideline against him
Generally, you don't have as much kill threat as you do compared to other top laners
So I do think the case he's called this pretty much
It's very well-rounded has a lot of options has good scaling has silent pressure
Ultimately, this is going to come down to can they get the Akalia and how does Lucian Milio perform here?
Because we've seen it absolutely snowball and accelerates with the doctor that they really have the tools to help get this Lucian Milio ahead
Will it be enough of fanatic to do zero KC
in their own arena and end the road trip for the weekend.
Vinay Casey locking in plows here and now
and keep Fanatic alive in the LEC.
As Law said at the start of the segment
at the start of Casey Fanatic.
They're in a precarious position. They're in a dangerous spot.
Fanatic.
They've looked so rough this split to then turn around
and have such a good game number one, and to win this series,
it would be a statement to say maybe Fnatic's back.
Maybe.
The blue wall is coming in strong to provide that support.
The sixth fan here at the KC.
I mean, the energy is electric.
We should put screens the other way.
You know, just the wind when they turn around and do the wall.
We should have screens the other side.
The only thing that's stressing me out is that bobbing isn't coordinated.
We have that climb bug by the way, we need to quickly redo drifts so we're going to sit
here and do a bit more conga while we wait.
Kind of looks like a river as it burns up and down.
I mean it's been great, shout out to the French crowd.
It's been so much fun, the energy been great regardless of the series and Tiro goes to 3.
It's been such an awesome weekend. Reminds you all why we look forward to the road trips.
Why again we're so grateful to our organizations for hosting us.
And getting a bit more of a different culture. Getting out of the studio, seeing the team playing on a big stage like...
You know, for other regions normally, it's only in their finals, it's only in their playoffs
that they get to experience something like this, and Buzio is saying that's what he's
used to in NA.
But getting to do it in the regular season is such a special trait.
And getting energy like this.
Buzio getting to experience the passion of the French community as well.
I start by the fact that the French fans are just some of the best in the world.
the energy that they bring.
I still, I'll never forget 2019 World Finals in Paris.
Even though the result didn't go the way that we wanted it to,
the crowd was unbelievable.
The atmosphere and the energy that they always bring to these events
is largely unparalleled.
And I'll tell you this, the Spanish are a close second, right?
And we've only got, we've got a lot of shows this year
across the state.
So we're always blessed with fantastic fans across Europe.
I'm hoping next year we'll get some opportunities to explore the rest of Europe.
We'll have to see how things go.
I hate other teams.
Start thinking about hosting us.
You know, you've got a lot to live up to with Madrid, Barcelona, with, you know,
obviously Paris here this time around.
With all the cool places that we've gone on, we'll be going for the rest of the years.
Stay tuned for more on that, but I would love to get out of the cities.
You don't have to listen to the live anymore about ready, getting into game.
The draft has been completed and so are players again.
Gonna be jumping into game two. Now we do have a fun stat for you.
Upset is on a nine game lose streak on Lucian. He hasn't won since 2023.
In contrast, Jyke is 18 and three on Karzix.
He's currently three in R&D LAC.
Holy crap, 18 and three.
18 and 3 this is when he said so we have a joke amongst casters which is when
someone is alting and I have to imagine the yikes alters give me cards it's yeah
yeah we're gonna get a graze and finally get into game the crowd welcomes us
warmly yikes cardics ready to taste their fear and let's see a fresh or can
He was great in game number one.
And then he Ivan said that much, just like Razzle.
I think this guy has been inting a little bit.
Game one is to get a pause.
This is going to save thematic on him, isn't it?
Oh, come on. Hang on now. Hang on.
Oh, who is it? Oh, who is it? Who is it?
Hang on. Who is it? Who is it?
Ah!
Okay, we're just going to fix some lighting and get back in the game.
Alright, well, as a reminder to the viewers at home, Fnatic find themselves at 2 and 4 right now.
They have a quick reduce in mental math. They play six games, they go up to nine, so they go up three games left.
The best possible score for now to get is five wins for bosses
But they do have to go through heretics
KC
Vitality now being vitality and KC is the hard part, but guess what?
In theory, they're already one up against KC. Yeah, so if they can close this series out
They put themselves at three and four and they increase their chances significantly
Meanwhile, for Casey they're looking to get the undefeated split.
Oh man.
Great trading.
I don't think there's going to be any kill here.
No, but I do think the lane where he started great for McConaugher is a job well done.
Absolutely.
Let's see how Lattie performs here on the Akali.
This is often considered a counter matchup.
Normally, the Azir, well, can't harass the Akali too much.
Usually they do things like drawing shield and second wing and you just sustain through it.
The fight in the bot lane skirmish between the two AD carries and supports
as they fight to get control and go for that early level 2.
Geminis one is starting on the top side.
I do expect an opportunity to be ever so slightly faster.
You're starting on the rat series into the top side.
Croaks into then red.
The reason why you take this pathing is so that you can get to six faster.
Because what will happen is that by delaying the red start, your Raptors will respawn faster.
So in theory you can immediately once you've done your full clear head back straight up towards your Raptors and start pouring again.
After jumping all in, we've seen this already today from Pat up in Trimby.
See, up then lot of fun. You can do a job well done as well, close and burst your whole leg around.
I'll put a Vantage though to Calist still.
Yeah.
And that's what I'm going to force to use his.
I like this lane, the Lucian is always like, just commit. Commit and see what you can get, maybe the Tracer won't come out, there's Exhaust.
Kalis is nice and healthy, the 32 is going exceptionally well for KZ.
Yeah, it absolutely is, very well played. The quick barrier from Kalis really doing it wonders as Lucian dives in.
And even if the Exhaust gets dropped, the damage is already done, so I'm just straight up losing the trade.
Get a recall.
The list is just going to go back. Use the timing to get a tear.
As he makes a recall, there it is. Okay.
So he gets his tear nice and early. Always feels good when you can kind of sneak out of the lane and get that tear stacking up.
You can pull the three-minute mark as Jack is also on the bottom side of the map.
Alongside Razor, for the jungle down here, will be the contestant of the scuttle.
Jack says no. He's actually pinging towards the top scuttle instead.
Instead, he's going to bypass Bond in case he gets pushed in and Boussir gets hit hard.
Very early tier, now secure for Kolas, wants to get that snacking as soon as possible.
Yacht got a path to stop knowing that his early carry has just reset.
Quick base coming in from Razor, and you can see on the minimap his raptors are already starting to respawn fairly soon.
I wonder if Yacht is even considering contesting those raptors.
We'll have that wards.
Doesn't do it super quick, but he needs a Bortles vikes,
a police vikes rather, to connect Junes,
pulls out with a leap and wards just going to be placed down.
Razel just spotted, with his Spidey sensors,
and he'll start up practice while Spidey,
we come back to these to keep it a bit.
OK, so a slot standard start, nothing too chaotic,
nothing too crazy, pretty even across the board.
A cartley slightly behind as you'd expect
in the rain, this is a very mature.
Who's here, Rome?
The flight goes into the shroud and half HP is Yahoo.
Good Evan Flo looking for the Apple prison,
but we said just all those and said,
get a bit of pressure back considering the TP
has been burned by Flighty,
but not by Yahoo.
Could arrange you to again,
sure could put gonna land on the busier,
but Flighty ain't no way he's taken that.
That would be a sure fire way to lose a lot of your HP
and you don't have your TP available anymore,
so you do not wanna waste that if you can avoid it.
Right now, it's Casey that had a lot of pressure on the mat there.
Pressure of mid, they've got pressure in the topside as well.
It's time to find some nice trades and it's very low on matter.
Bob Lane just continues to throw back and forth, and yeah, we find ourselves in a very slow and steady early game.
He's very gentle as he tends to pound, Bob. Nice intro up there from Razzle.
Here's Badi, a slight tempo advantage as he goes back to base and is already back out onto the mat.
Also known for Yaki's here on the Raptor camp as well, so early game for Razzle feels quite nice.
For instance, a quick reminder in game number one,
it's not often we've been able to talk about Razork here,
and the LEC's beaten, but Razork had an exceptional game
on this jargon, had one or two misplays,
but overall, was the reason that they were having to close
out and find that win against KSC.
Absolutely, mechanically, he did some pretty impressive stuff.
But now we've got to turn our attention to the junglers.
They've both been power clearing through their sides
of the map, both at 22 stacks on that general item
They want to get it down to 20 to have that empowered smite.
They're delaying the secure of those jungle objectives
because they're waiting for the 5.30 mark.
Now they're both a girl back towards it.
Both junglers with the exact same pattern,
the exact same logic.
Let's have a look.
Keep an eye on those stacks there.
They've got a wait.
He's waiting, he's waiting, he's waiting.
Retreating from Fnatic in the meantime as well.
Secure, and there it is. 20 stacks, 20 stacks.
Now both get the upgraded sprites, and now the fight for the crab begins.
But Yike, I mean, he gets the type call.
Blisting is ready to leap in.
Fnatic, obviously, is just bad at you without having a bit of low mana.
They both rotate it over, both have level 6 as well.
Yeah, here with a bit of a help with that.
And his body jumps in, and he starts on the pub against just in flashing.
And Yike just leaps on Razzle's head and boosts it against Fnatic on himself.
First light goes to Fnatic.
That's the second as well as Razzle flashes out.
But KC is going horribly wrong, bloody cozy campfire, Kitchens is thankfully dies, yeah he gets one, but they have to get the hell out of dogs to kick the slow, the flush with the tether, yeah he's going to die as well, but I think I'm going to get killed less, as I'll just pick up a kill and KC gets slammed into the dirt.
Fnatic played that beautifully and so much of the credit needs to be given to Vladdy.
He does not wait.
He throws his ultimate in right at the start, turns his attention on to Puccio.
Watch the Akali, dives in, doesn't care about Yike.
He wants to fight the Nami.
He also takes the Nami out of the fight, fights it over the wall, Razzle actually
ends up getting the kill.
Vladdy, it's a full choice.
He wants one kill somewhere.
He does so much damage in the fight but then Upset, Lospa and Razzle regroup.
They chase that guy and he's got nowhere left to go.
Fantastic fight three kills. I can't believe Brassauks fell shielded. Yeah, who's Empress divide? Oh, I didn't notice that.
Anyway, he just walked through it nonchalant
Brassauks with a double kill we just highlighted this man
This could be his day as Clis steps up with the Gavilan guard when he's getting thrown up by a stubble auto
And he has flash available or piercing light not gonna be used
But Clis even though he gets healed up has to be carefully once the wave
But it all takes the stock, and it all takes the left side looking to the right.
Gatling gun, although there it is, piercing line.
Upside wasn't even taking it, it was lost by...
What a dive from the 2v2.
I mean, how many times have we seen this now?
When they just hit each other, Lucian simply wins.
And Boussour could do nothing to protect Callis.
Callis dies underneath this tower.
Upside now 2-0-0 on the Lucian.
They deny that whole wave.
Fnatic with another incredible early game.
And another disaster for KC. 2,000 gold just about at 8 minutes in.
Razor was the one who picked up the lead now with an experimental.
Hex plate short, but upset at another kill of contribution.
And that first item shortcoming is 500 over Calist.
KC needed to be dug out of this hole because, but how to get a one through the shovel.
Fantastic. Find themselves with a very comfortable start.
Only one kill on the side of KC.
The Icon has cars, it's as well.
I mean, like, it was so impressive seeing how that early game panned out.
The fact that both junglers were in the right place at the right time,
both mid laners looking to contest that mid wave.
And then all over that single crab, like, to get that early level six.
Crazy stuff, crazy, crazy stuff.
And we haven't seen a paranoia yet.
Brad's all going to turn the lights off.
We didn't even have time to tell him an upset till now.
And Dragon's going to be starting to ride,
But I mean, Yike is looking for the top, the top grubs in the meantime.
Here we go, waiting for the culling.
Here's the other way for Boussio as well.
Up there, sandwich is huge.
There's the culling.
Up there, kites down and doesn't get hit, but dude, if Clis, that's the back again.
More waves missed, more experience, more gold as Dragon's down and Razor could even
threaten the fact that he's nearby.
If an attic win this series, I will say it is off the back of just faster meta
adaptations.
The introduction of the Soraka in the previous game, and now recognizing if they go Koukenami,
Nushimilio just wins! And we've seen it, 25,000, the ultimate stocks!
Oh, so much of the connection, not even getting the chance to get an assassin out of Razork with three.
Yikes, Karzix might be 18 and three, but it is getting slaughtered in this early game.
This early game is going the way of Fnatic, Ladi, Paul Ladi. He's done so much work,
Desperately trying to get a kill. He commits the ultimate, doesn't get it.
Zero one four now. Hey, Razlok is very far ahead. The biggest concern I have is we've seen Fnatic get an early lead like this with this
Nocturne before and then one random fight. Oh, hang on. Yeah, who won?
Vlad doesn't have ult, so he's not going to over commit that
But we've seen Fnatic make this misplay before but the Nocturne will just go in by himself and then things end in disaster
I'm hoping that with Vlad by his side with this Akali. They'll be more of a
Coordination between the jungle and mids
We'll see how things pan out because right now case is only real winning lanes in the top sides
When Connor is getting the push is getting the better of em pros, but I mean he's silent. He doesn't care
He's just tacked in a way be the weak side get tacky with the game
And I mean the car this is the one that you also you want to see snowboard game. He's behind
If you act both behind on this car, Zex
We used to get a run into a disaster here on point seven case sort of lead the dragon was picked up earlier
No objectives up for a little bit. So at least case you can try and chill and work towards their first items
But again, the biggest issue here is isolated lanes. I'm talking about box
Yikes gonna leap in the scene in the brush, but I've said jumps in anyway
Paranoia on an exhaust the corgi the tether the beer
Razzle gun the turret will take another victim
Killing Stead again, Yagy flashes in to press the light, that is a trade, the mega-final kick, almost helps up that secure into the kill.
It is a trade, something for Casey. His leg looks at the whole land and scores, Yahoo!
Jumps back, and yeah, nah, he couldn't get an Empress to die.
So it ended being a one-for-one, but given that Casey's falling behind, that's not the end of the world for them,
especially the fact that they got that shot down onto Razor 2, the only problem with Casey is that kill went over to Buseo.
Jyke would have loved to have had that injection of gold
when we look back at this play.
The Norton Ultimate literally just comes off cooldown.
They invest everything into killing Kalest.
Nice side-set for Frantzler to avoid the bubble.
And then Jyke flashes in against the Q isolation damage.
The assistance of Booster there to finish off the kill.
Good reactions from Lossberg.
The healing just isn't enough to keep his Jumper alive.
We'll have Ekko as a healer now.
I'm not sure if that was there before the play.
So you have to excuse me, but regardless,
more healing that does come through.
Essence Reaver, and I think that's a good upset as well.
That bottom line is still a point of success here for Fnatic,
and despite there being a trade, as you said,
Brucio getting a kill means Imperial Manda, yes.
But Razor got the kill again, 4-1 knock turn,
and his paranoia so far have been just fine.
Now, Gunblade completed for Fladi, Essence Reaver finished for upset.
Paul Calist, yet to complete anything.
Now, 3-4 still, an item away.
The tier is stacking up, but he has been
been the target of fanatic
aggression here in the early game.
I was upset and I was going to call the lead.
I can fish it for a steal.
Red buff goes down to Rhizor.
Flaskone's going to get them out.
And Brut also came in just to safeguard
the way he walked back towards top.
Rhizor's going to continue on clearing.
Now, yeah, you're doing a really good job of farming
in the middle late-bidding.
It might help you advance each.
Tolling.
By the way, might have to be burned.
Khaleeson, half HP.
Evan Flows going to heal him up a little bit here.
But I've said and lost, but they're still
isolating this lane.
And yeah, he's obviously coming down, but he's being pinged.
Fladi's gonna cover the movement.
And remember, Paranoia is up and available again.
So with the movement down from Razzok towards mid lane,
he can make sure that any play has numbers of advantage first
as long as Jyke is spotted out.
The ebb and flow though are doing great work.
We're still gonna heal Kalist.
Pretty much back up to full at this point.
His mana not really gonna be affected that much
as Razzok takes over to level 10.
Level 11 is where you get that extra cooldown
on the ulti.
Nice trade back there from Kalist.
Okay, well now I've set, we'll take a time on shot, the shield will tank that one up.
He's got warm hearts, you know.
So much vision invested from Fnatic towards the bot side of the map,
he's on the should spot, Jaik, but Jaik's going to in turn spot that vision himself with the upper glaive,
and he's going to clear all this out, or as much as he can.
Yeah, there you go.
So it's up there, KC.
Yep, that's fine.
That's fine, grass, 20 seconds all the trade, piercing line.
All these trades in bottom line will lead to maybe another objective here for Fnatic.
What does it look like for the push?
Dragon 10 seconds. Resets coming through from Yike.
They're going to spot this out. They may even interrupt it. Yeah they will.
Nice.
So now this should be the go signal for Razzle, knowing that Yike is trying to base.
He should be able to just rush this down.
I can see Pings onto the Dragon.
I think KC want to get a quick base off and head towards the Dragon as quickly as possible.
Keeping my eyes on.
They're too late. They're too late.
Really good interrupt.
I think I just denied all possibility for Yag to really contest the dragon.
He recognized the two, he starts patting up towards top.
He's thinking about a cross-match.
You can see a small ping onto the Raptors.
Fnatic's saying, hey, we'll all be careful now.
He's probably going to move into my topside jump ball.
So now the swaps are starting to come through.
The goal quest being completed.
Akali and along the side lane is now much scary for Yag who you have to deal with.
But Yag doing what he can with this quadruple.
Puccio, as they now isolate the sound from the rest of Fnatic.
He's been hovering around that rupture cam for a little bit.
now finally finds it. Kalistar gets a pushing point, letting me go towards here.
Because Paranoia is up. Razok level 11. Kalist outside of the tower.
Razok's gonna see him. Presses Q but nothing more. Kalist has safeguarded himself
out of this position. Upset's mid. Yeah, he's a lot of headlight. If you look at the plates,
upset, you gotta be really careful here, buddy. They can turn the lights off though,
even if Upset's caught out. It's gonna require a quick burst. Razok now
safe guards is Eddie Cary. Okay now it is Casey's position on the Herald.
Karzik's gonna mouth through this relatively quickly. Razlok does have the
level 11, Mpros has TP as well. He has no wards to TP too. The Herald has been
spotted though. Rikai, Lossbug gonna get TP'd on. Okay they get the Herald and
Casey looking for the play. Razlok turns the paranoia on and there's a
Renekton TP as you said. Karna gets a flush out of Lossbug. A win so far for
But KC, even though they commit the TP, get the objective and they get a flash.
I think this is a relatively even trade in a sense, because while Fnatic don't have to commit much,
it was KC that committed much, they don't find a kill, they do get some of this and they do get the hell.
There was a big opportunity for Epros to push in bot, forcing Yen to also TP.
So now Fnatic have a TP advantage. So in a world that you could argue this is an advantage for Fnatic
But it only depends if they actually use that Fnatic to let take advantage of the fact that case they have no TP's
Right, so we'll see if Fnatic do that and speak of the devil
All in, Empros up against the turret. He flashes away. Hang on a minute, that's many times. Yeah, he flashes as well
But he's got legal tempo. And Empros one more auto. He's not found and he's bloody diving and takes it out
Yikes come in and he decides to hold me himself, but against the whole Phenatic with no courage to lean on the calling, Yikes gonna die!
Up to get three, Emperor survived the whole thing, in case he had lost even more.
A heavy commitment though from Fnatic, they send all five members towards the pot play,
and for Callis to hit onto this mid-tier one, and the top wave to be pushed as well.
Connor's going to roadie down to mid to offer some protection for Callis, who did get a big injection of plates.
But over all, Fnatic find themselves with two kills, they get the bot tower, and they extend their gold leads.
And you got your answer immediately, Betty. One out of the two TP advantages have been used from Vladdy to net that kill.
Yeah, absolutely.
Fnatic used the advantage, well, 3,000 is the lead as we look at the replay.
And this is the thing. Given that Casey had committed all those TP's, they can't respond to a play like this.
So quick thinking from Vladdy to make this play, he's ahead of the play of Yike.
Yike, Yike then arrives to find, oh no, I'm heavily outnumbered, there's no way really for me to go, I'll try and clear out the way, that's too late.
Vladdy slows it down, using the Qs, and there's no way for Yike to get anything back.
So those kills go over to Vladdy and to upset as Fnatic now on the aggressive.
Yike did get the blue buff though, giving her the blue shield.
Upset chunks into Kallis again, cut it again by a downy, went forward, four full spikes, evolved, did some work, tied away as well.
left alone, he thrusts him in the oldest corner, jumps in front of him and that's Paraguay jumping into the mid lane
but yeah he gets out of dodge, tries to wake the lights to turn back on, upset jumps into him though
it's shut down after shut down, it's a mess!
2 for 2, sweet pause, Casey looking for the chase, upset is low
mid lane now the Herald is going to be dropped, Casey going to go, go, go
goes get by there, he jumps in, exhaust but he gets out into the Herald
the hell, the culling will time out and the charge will come through and open up the midline.
I think that was way too aggressive from Fnatic. They all have forced that fight and it ends up
being a 2 for 2, but Casey gets the shutdowns. So look at the goal that gets injected here.
Fnatic, sure. They do actually steal away the move up. Upset goes all in on a play against
Kaleis, loses the trade in the HB. Epros is down a very awkward spot, so Fnatic has to try
try and turn the play around. They commit, one dive onto Yehu, Vladdy dives onto the backline.
Doesn't quite have the damage to get the kill onto Kalista. Trades off on him and 606, 30350.
Kalista gets that nice injection of gold, gets that nice shutdown.
And what they do take out Yehu, ultimately the fact that Kalista gets that extra injection of gold
and they get the top tower, Kase is pretty happy with how that panned out.
I think so, I'm called, minimized, 1500, Vladdy jumps in looking for a kill onto Kalista.
he's in trouble, doesn't have anything to sum this up and Bloody wants to exploit him.
One second until that ulti from Bloody is dragon, the next port to call.
20 seconds, for now to get this they move to the south point and look,
four members down on the bottom lane, our case you're going to concede.
Oh, that's a great question. I mean, Bloody's looking very scary right now.
Two items now fully completed for Calais is a big spike for him.
He is still behind Upset by Pickaxe but it's not the end of the world.
Upset jumps in, Yikes found out, Cozy Campfire must sustain the healing, he's able to do that.
Tv are going to be burned by Fnatic, they want this third, right?
They certainly do, they're happy to also just go back to base, catch that top wave,
there's no real cross map that's going to come through.
I'd be shocked if KC considered rushing like a fan or anything, so that's going to be a man dragon,
Fnatic put themselves on some point, and what a performance Fnatic!
They look like a completely different team, the early advances that they're getting,
I think the objectives that they're converting it into as well,
Fernatek with a lead against Casey and Dan too,
2-0 in Casey would be quite the feat.
For Vladi, for Upset, for their old organisation,
it would be the biggest staff right through the heart
of coming in, calling their own arena.
Vladi's trying to buy some time.
He's going to have to public execution rather every time,
as Ulty was going to call it private.
What is it?
We should not have put execution under two altis.
He's going to dash away.
Thank you.
It's a long cooldown dash.
Well, actually, it's not that long.
I mean, it's got 40 seconds left.
He's going to have it for the next fight, I'm sure.
This is one of the things we've talked about in Draftware.
Fladi will struggle in a side lane against React,
and they kind of have to match the side into it.
They're trying their best to...
Oh, hang on, they're tipping to bot lane.
They can start off the baron, but this should have been spotted out, Pings have to be coming down.
I mean they are indeed, they're trying to move up, but I think Baron might be coming up, Yikes are moving up.
Let's just wait and see, no Ateer, no Renekton, of course it will have to be a TV from the top lane of Carnivore at 9K.
It's trouble here for KC, Flush, you never know, it's been a male healthy and Yikes low, he'll have to go.
Teleport now coming up, but where's the jungler from KC?
Yikes are fourth on how does Clistra has to step on up with a big one. 2K, 1K, Yikes still king!
He's the stealing king, thievery from the Casey jungle, as Khan is in the pit.
Yeah, Bruce likes him, and Fnatic, aside, Wyndon!
How Yike keeps getting these steals, only God knows!
Yike makes magic happen for Casey, an absolutely phenomenal steal.
He's able to find a way into the pit, because it secures it.
The lights get shot off by Razorg, they're desperately trying to kill the Baron.
But Jaik sleeps his way in.
Q swipes secure with the help of Kana.
And then tracked to the pit, yeah, who's looking for an angle.
Kana doing so much work in the one before.
Yeah, who slides in, gets the two-man ulti.
And just like that, the game flips on its head.
Yike is just the king of babes and we've got to accept if you get a 50-50 he gets an extra 10%
phenomenal simply phenomenal from Yike
18 and 3 on this Karzix perhaps not looking to carry in the way that he expected but hey
if he gets the win he'll take it KC now with the power and have the gold leads
Look at the push on towards these towns of the valley.
And it looks like suddenly we're starting to think about another six-game night.
As Casey get culling down, Upset still a machine, a warrior that is almost three items now.
But Casey got a breath of fresh air.
And Yahoo!
With two items he's able to hold his ground. Upset jumps into this.
I don't think he's feeling confident as he once did.
The big one goes to the left.
The mid-lane turret on the threat will fly to it.
Doesn't damage the top.
Upset nearly has the infinity edge, but he's still losing hell of those trades.
Ladi does get a tower on the top lane.
They're in the grand scheme of things.
Like the gold difference doesn't look that deep, but the shift in momentum,
the fact that Casey's top does scale very nicely.
Azir plus Corky.
I mean, it's a tale as old as time.
Right, combo.
You don't have threatening it can be in the late game.
And also the experience.
Callis is a full level over upset.
And yeah, he was about half a level up as well.
That Baron did so much in terms of the game states
that with the soul on its way, fanatic, not down and out,
but this next fight is gonna be a tough one.
It will be a tough one, but it'll be cane breaking
if they can wrangle control back
and find their way to the soul.
Perhaps they just abandoned it.
Perhaps they just wait, they go for the third item.
The goal difference isn't so insurmountable
that fanatic can't come back.
They have to make the decision
if they feel the longer this game goes,
the harder it gets, so if they feel that it's worth waiting for that extra item before they
try to fight the fight.
Well, KT opened up mid tower and they get the pressure there, so with that power and buff,
it does feel like it's going to be harder and harder for the fanatic team to walk through
this line of choke that's now visioned up all the way up.
You like to look for the big Razorx DPM.
It's going to be found out, it's velchured out with the Vaubles Spikes, rather void.
KC in Foggerball, Razor tries to check and Prost is going to teleport in with
a big shield.
Okay, the base check, but he gets stunned up by Kana.
Shield out once again, but Yai covers around,
looking for a target.
Void spikes out, that's the main smash.
Kalees stood his ground for so long,
he's upset, now threatens his position,
but Yairu wasn't even here,
as he too moves into spot.
I'm saying that, sing around,
do what damage you can.
Void pops.
He connects to Razzle,
bloody on the flank.
Gavling done now, out.
Big one in the chamber, Kalees in position.
He gets Culling, he holds him from Razzle,
jumps on the 80, carry to Razzle,
The company's the job, yellow, sends Fanatic away, he says no, you shall not pass!
Epros, boys, boys, slow, press the block, bloody ass off the out, but Epros knows I must die,
so the rest of Fanatic can survive, but they give up, so they lose their first strike in this game
and KC's house is electrifying in this second game.
The game is before from Bonata, the Nocturne goes in and immediately just dies.
They chunk out Calais, they see it as an opportunity. The Akali's getting isolated by Yaikno.
He flashes over the wall, can't contribute anything and the dive, the coordination isn't there.
Great marking from Casey to prevent Gladdy from getting in on the flight.
The Nocturne goes in too deep and then the chase from Casey is clean.
This game is firmly in control of KC and they're looking to bring us to game three.
Remember it all came off one man, one steal and the follow up from KC.
Yike is a 0-4 card next, now with a cold lead. All early game he was abused by Razork on this nocturne.
And Betty, I know you talk so much about the nocturne pick, it hasn't even been about that.
It was at 1-0, that 1-5. And Razorks had a great game otherwise.
But now, options getting limited as Jai goes into the opening, exploring the soul, has begun,
fell chill to now, to get a turn off the line with the Flash, takes their fear,
Brasov casts the Flash too. He's running for his life, Jai's looking for the follow-up voice,
Jai's not going to get anyone as light, he helps his jungler navigate to his base, but
they're getting confident, they're getting edgy, and KC are getting ready to try and close
this one out. I mean, that was a close on there for Brasov. Paul sent from Jai to Yau,
almost getting the kill. Try to flash it between the gennals but they'll take a tower. It's a fair
secondary prize. Baron in 20 seconds. You have to imagine Casey will turn their attention towards it.
They just feel so strong now. Mainly it's those levels man. A full level everywhere. Conn is
about to beat two levels up. It's easy to underestimate how much value that HP gives but
but getting to level 16 just ahead of your opponent,
just before that Baron as well, it can be so huge.
And every time, if I'm fanatic pressing Tab in this game,
I feel like, God damn, how do we win a fight now?
Yeah.
This one is on the Yahoo.
I'm looking for tools to buy time.
No GA for Razor yet to dive in.
It's gonna be a big difference,
like as you said, Baron's up and available.
Dragon not even contested, it's two minutes 30 away.
So one objective to focus on here is Casey trying to move us to a game three.
It's always very dangerous to just start the objective off though.
So Casey, they're not going to be blind about it.
Keep your eyes upon the line.
Connor pushing that wave in.
Just keeping pressure up somewhere on the map.
This is one of the things as well.
Fanatic, you've noticed that they've just been grouping up a lot.
And they've been just sacrificing far and passively.
That's contributed to the XP difference that we've been seeing growing favor Casey.
Also just the individual farm and leagues where Casey you've been able to build to themselves
Yeah, who with an individual wonk gold advantage now at cross comes to finally much corner
And now I'm gonna start it off. It's a push and pull smart from Casey
Attention driven away fanatic have to regroup
Razor remember no GA if he dies, then he will die the baron is gonna be stopped
Casey are trying to draw their attention yaku go to his jungle to heal up so they can do it again
And kind of going to use his time to back away so we can get a steric's gauge and an immediate TP
They're ready to force it again.
Exactly, they're trying to get these resources out front for now to upset if he should spot this one out.
Emporps teleported as well, but it's going down quick, 7k.
Can Razzos do the same? Tartarus lays down Paranoia, three men holding from Emporps,
but again, he finds the wall and Razzos burn is to die!
Tartarus and Paranoia is okay, he takes over, but there's the steric's gauge coming in close.
Yes, many smashers, Casey get low, but all five remain upset, get put down by Baron combination, boys fight, slow down, and Frost is dead too!
The maddened count withstands the coming cold pressure as five on Baron will start at a third time.
Casey stands strong as a five man unit, they play against the Diagonized Upset, the last man left.
They're all dead and long, he jumped in the cliff,
but he wasn't able to get into the scene,
and then he died!
He's got hugs, he's got campfire,
and he's got KC behind his back,
all in the ground, Fnatic has done!
This game is done and dusted.
Jyke will bring us to game three.
Jyke, that steal earlier on, we look back at the play,
a nice engage for Emberos, a quick flash away from Calisto,
and the knockdowns if they get to viscerated.
Vlad is stunned up two of by Connor, and he can't threaten the back line either.
And now it's on the upset, he doesn't have the range.
Every time he steps too close, Yehu and Callis simply pick him apart.
Beautifully danced around by Casey.
Fnatic fall, Casey our triumphant.
And with the Baron with the dragon as well, we're going all the way in this bastard 3.
We're going all the way. Two nights in a row. Road trip wouldn't be one of the best road trips without all five games or three.
I can't have caught up though. Hang on parallel enough. You just get a bit of help to get Xarex again, but he's dead.
Tyrone from Buzio just in case they jump on the line. Mistake from the Korean top laner.
It feels done, but that's going to slow down the bar.
It certainly will. Fanatic buying time where they can. Finding a single pick is better than nothing.
Vladdy now taking over the level 60, a much needed level, getting that extra point in his ulti.
We get to really see that fantastic combo come through with the Akali and the Nocturne.
Every time the Nocturne dies in so far, he's just been killed and the GA has been completed for him.
If they can stall out the duration of this bar, maybe it's a wall, it's a collapse.
Brazok, Brazok, Brazok, Brazok!
Jax now coming over the flank, Culling was down, Brazok loses the GA.
Just like that, Kalec melts through Razorg. Effectively finds himself a solo kill.
He thought it was like Mr. Raker again or something I think. Don't know.
Oyd Fykes slows down, Mpros gonna find decimating Smash, but Kasey want to follow up.
Kalec again to shred as he said. So it works on Mpros. He doesn't really have an LDR,
well, he doesn't have an LDR right now, but he hasn't really been focusing on Mpros.
Yes, on that by one.
I credit to Callest, he was put behind so much in the early game.
And now, level 17, four items completed on the Corky.
He is terrifying with Boussio at his side.
Casey, very much in the drag-a-seat.
Very much at the advantage.
Fanatic, will have to pull a rabbit out of that hat
to turn the momentum in that favor.
Now remember, reset for Jaik.
He will leave.
He's got the upgraded leaf, and he's got the range on it.
The turret goes down to the topside, 8,000 gold just about, KT still has Baron for another 10 seconds, it's only a thousand Ripple Baron power play, but
it took it off the map, it found a winning five for me, it's still very much in the driver's seat.
It's a fantastic try to hold on, it will come down to this dragon, it feels all that next Baron trying to silence this game
and take us to another 11 o'clock, 11.30 finish.
But then it's good time to be in Baron.
I'm thinking back to that Baron and I really want to reinforce the decision-making behind that initial Baron from Fnatic was actually very good.
Young TPs to what length? So they had guaranteed that was advantage of the Baron.
But I think in hindsight the mistake Fnatic made was not turning.
They should have just forced a fight for B-5 rather than 50-50 in the Baron.
But in their minds they're sitting there thinking we've got it, we've got it.
You've got it. But also, it's quite slow when you have a Kali plus Sion.
So, I mean, I'm seeing how all these pieces understand the logic, the idea from Fnatic, but I mean, that's the thing.
That's league in these moments. If it takes a single player, it's Ladi, now caught out.
I'm sure to flip obviously, get a Lingon down, crosses bomb, everything connecting, from Kaleis, even the Valkyrie!
The Ladi win, Kaleis revenge this game as he'll be dead for 50 seconds.
That is a very long dead timer for the former Casey Midlander.
Caught out of the top lane 2-5 and 6, really struggled to have impact with the Akali.
And now Casey knowing that they have more players, are they going to see Akali?
They find an oil in this game, will be done.
Police stepping up again, Kali needs quite good damage, so at half HP, Puccio.
Nebbi's work cut out for him as he has a heel as he's all in, a paranoia.
Jumping on Kana, he slices them, dies, slow down with the strike, breaking with a fear.
Not gonna tether up that runs in as well as Casey try to get a resolution play
But the fallover shot jumped in boy fights a good collect in between war
Between three people kind of jumps in spell shield up they get over the wall
campfire's gonna heal him up with some hugs, but
Casey are backing off done a bit of damage. They need to chill one mistake and dragons up in 50
Barrens up in a minute if Casey overstep they get entries for that it back in this game
I mean, Fnatic doing a good job of defending here.
They're buying time as much as they can to stop their inhibitors from falling.
Baron 48 seconds away, Fnatic will be given more opportunities,
but I feel like it's only really one.
With both Dragon and Baron spawning at the same time,
one will likely result in the other,
and this final fight may very well decide the game.
So both sides spending more gold they can,
trying to complete those islands as quickly as they can.
Yeah, upset final item or rather second-last item maybe final items of the game. I mean he's seeing on bf
We stand center
Shield maybe too early
Calist zoning towards the top side and process the TP of his own. He's gonna get a big shield too. And as the track
Here we go rocket level 18 wants to initiate fanatic want this soul TP gonna be burned
Crizel on top to get the blue up here, it's Gleaves launches the big one!
Up to the R-BHP but already started well for KC, Flush and Frost
and cleanses the Blush away as well. Yeah, who says get the hell away? Culling's now down.
Fanatic, hello. They're getting range, they're getting hit. KC have got the dragon.
Fanatic at the back of... and now KC with a mid-side dragon saying,
hey, let's threaten Barron again.
I mean, Fanatic simply haven't learned that, and that's the fact that they cannot win the front to back.
If Fnatic want to win a fight, they've got to start the fight between the objective spawns.
They cannot just play the normal way when you've got Locke to N'Kali.
Because then you've got Kallistin Yeo who has the range of their discretion.
And they're just going to run away with it.
They can start from KC.
Because Fnatic, it feels like they still have a chance of spotting 9000 gold down.
They're doing well, as you said earlier, to hold on.
The front-to-back ain't the way, KC now moving into position, but they ain't finding an angle.
I'll take up some of the wall, close front-lining, breath of light, the ulti from the side, close to no way out.
Get some mating smash, they've got Kalec, they've got Buccio.
Kana has to run, Fnatic found an angle, they've finally picked apart the pieces.
Shook and flip, one connection, Kana runs away, Razlok won't be able to have anything else as well.
Two down, bottom line and KC are dead.
But it's like this, this is how you win fights by Fnatic.
Not through the front to back, but instead by finding picks.
Those are long death timers on the side of KC.
Fnatic have given themselves a glimmer of hope in this game too.
Bit more gold for what it's worth here.
With Inatar going down and Jack of Bounties are falling off.
That's how much they just recovered.
3,000 gold is what they just got back.
Minus 2.5k bound power players.
He's auto-damaged.
But he's dead!
But if you like jumps on him.
Culling.
Revolve.
He's well under the GA.
Coming from lane, but under the turret.
I'm sick.
What are you doing?
He needs to get out, sending in Yellow, Embross to the side, but Gike is going to find him, he's shredding his side on!
Karthik's is going to find the slow, and Embross is going to find the dirt!
Gike gets out of the way, preset, and Fnatic over the staff!
Fnatic, you get given that chance, you get given this opportunity, and you throw it away!
Upset goes in, Trit, his HP bar for Calist, a huge ulti connects from Embross
to allow for Bladdy to dive in and get himself a double.
He gets his big injection of gold, but then they just go too deep.
Why do they try to dive this?
Bladdy backflips under the tower, gets one shot by Yike.
A good song is from Yahoo, buys time, they get the kill on Marazzo.
Can I think that's game for KC?
I am running down the midline and slowly feels like it.
Get time as a lot of the...
Hang on, hang on.
Five minutes of KC, four now up a fanatic.
The last MPOS in 15, they're using the Vama.
What's left of it here in 50 seconds?
Define next to start number one.
It's precarious as Kali steps up.
Rezal with no G.N.s blood.
He jumps in, tied away.
The pressure's too much.
Pusia says, shut up.
You're in my house now.
He's getting used to the loss of the Dive from Rezal.
His ink, his back, but now it's a set away.
And doing game three at the end of that road show.
As Yike will stay victorious on these cars,
will ensue. 19 wins as Yacht wins another. It was his steal that turned the game around for KC.
They will bring us the game three. We will have another six game day. Fanatic.
Incredible stuff. Incredible stuff from KC. We're setting ourselves up for a very exciting
game three that's for sure.
Yike is on stage.
He didn't have a good early game.
But he is the reason we're going to have another long night.
That steal on Baron
is the reason the KT fans
get a chance
of getting into playoffs right here.
Right now.
So, Venger, absolutely!
And one more time, one more time, it's going to be a style, absolutely magical!
From the part of Jaik. Jaik, we're so used to you stealing and clutch moments like this.
Tell me about how you made it happen. Tell me about coming back in this game
and finding once again this clutch opportunity.
Yeah, I mean, the game was a little bit scary.
I don't even think it was the best casics game, but I wanted to do it anyways.
And no, no matter what happened earlier, I could be strong later, and yeah, I think it still just turned around.
So I'm very happy I could do that. It was very risky, very scary, but we made it, right?
Absolutely love it. I'm gonna love you. Join your team. You can go, you can go.
A little introduction here, in any case, Issei, who is stylish, and he is especially confident in their lead game.
Even though it wasn't the best casics round, he knew they were going to have the damage and the possibility to recover later.
I'll give you the floor.
But he finds these Q-smites so clutch and now suddenly they're stuck in the barren pit
and Kanna and Jyakus claim it all up.
I just saw him get pushed away and I was like really go play my fanatic.
You know there's no way Jyke didn't get in here.
But again the king of thieves this man finds a way.
I mean you can see what it meant for the crowd.
Observed and that was the moment that it started to crumble for fanatic.
I mean to me being in the arena is like when you're falling or you're sleeping super soundly
and then suddenly the alarm hits you at 8am in the morning because the whole crowd just erupted
so loud and noise was incredible. It's like they all came back to life and I feel like Casey
rode that momentum to the end. Yeah we were back in the catacombs and we were like behind behind
stage and we could hear them through there. The ground started shaking absolutely incredible
stuff all around from Casey as well because even at that point they still had to fight
their way back into the game. I think they swung the goal from being about 3k behind to being about even,
but then we just see them doing it again and again and again. Yeah, and I think so much of that just
comes down to the confidence of this team, right? They understand exactly how they want to try and
move from this position and the team fights that they're able to achieve. As soon as KC take control,
they're fishing for picks, they're fishing for moments to try and fight, they're playing off
of multiple different lanes, and it makes it so difficult to try and fight back against them.
And I mean Shadow took list in this as well, he was doing work in these fights.
I don't think I've seen Corky Bombs do that much damage in any other game.
Yeah, I mean it just comes down to the setup. Look how early they were at this dragon.
They were poking them down, making this approach so difficult for Fnatic.
They were all shepherded through these super tiny choke points.
And it's just panic that comes to them because they have to get to this dragon.
They really want it, but the fact that they're all so low
And the fact that KS's formation is just superior makes it so difficult.
And that's the thing, the people who didn't panic in those fights
were Boussile with the title aid and Yehu with the Emperor's Divide.
It felt like every single time Fnatic were running up literally against the wall
to try and find these Engagers once they lost control.
And I think like Emperors had some good moments like flashing over the Emperor's Divide
to try and find these plays and set it up.
But these are big tools that you are using to try and break through every single fight
and they're just not available when you need them all the time.
I think part of it as well was how situational fanatics and gauge tools could be in those moments
You have a scion running and you have a paranoia and then apart from that
You don't really have a huge amount of CC you needed to be the team actually getting the poke getting the prod and you can see here
There were moments that they did start getting back into the game
This was a great engage, but then the disengaged comes out of KC
I mean we praise fanatics cohesion in game one they're always going in together
But I think a lot of these fights. It's a nocturne diving in the winner. Callis not quite ready for it
I would love to see him rather. Just press the R button hold the paranoia second activation
Wait for gladi to be positioned to follow up and then go in but it was a little bit
Indecisive or maybe too decisive from static in a lot of these fights
And they just kept getting picked off by the immense damage of Casey's backline and Casey knew to watch out for bloody
Like you can see in this fight kind of just sitting there going okay as long as I mark this a Cali
and I can try and get some sort of CC down, saying I look towards Yahoo, as long as we
keep Fladi out of the fight, Calist and this is here, can do nothing these fights to carry
in, they were able to get it across the finish line, which is just insane for the position
they were in.
It really is, it really is.
There's something special about KC here in Lesnaraina.
I also do want to come back to the fact that Fnatic almost got the game back.
They started to win out and then we saw a dive that really shouldn't have been
a dive under the mid lane inhibitor.
I mean, to me, this is the crowdbuff.
Look at this, they find a great poke on Kalis,
and then Empress finds a massive ult on him,
and it looks like it's a fantastic fight for Fnatic.
Why? Because it is!
They got two for Null, and here you see the impatience.
Vladhy tries to go for this dive, they all agree,
they all agree that they should probably dive this,
but they just go in one after one,
after one, up to it goes melee range to Renekton,
they all try to dive,
but it's just so forced, over-forced,
Two in the size of a game that I think that's the thing right like we talked about it a little bit backstage then you said if it had been me
Listening to the crowd erupt after I started throwing the game
I would have been giga tilted and I think that's kind of weapon that it got in a in a in a mental space
Right they said hey, we were winning this game. We started to lose this game. We fought back now
We've got to finish it
We've got to do it quickly because at the moment the momentum was still very much in Casey's favor
I mean the virtue that fades with this pressure is patience the fact that your patience becomes so limited and the fact that you really really really
Every single time there's an oversight you want to pull the entire game back
But you're so far behind you need to do it bit by bit and you can't do it all in one big chunk like that
I was trying to but it felt like fanatic just lost confidence in themselves
Like it didn't feel like they felt they could win anymore
It felt like this was the one moment that the door was open and they were hoping to just run through it
But it said they just ran into the KC
like there was nothing left for them in that one. Unfortunately for them now,
Fnatic find themselves having to try and face off against KC once more in front of
a crowd that is very much pushing on the KC side again. It really is. I do want to
talk a little bit about compositions as well because I think the more I look
at it now, the harder it was for Fnatic to ever get back in that game. They
were able to accelerate in the early game but you looked at the damage
numbers there. Yahoo did 52,000, Vlad did 17. The ability of the Azir and
just to slowly poke fanatic as they walked into them,
maybe basically impossible for fanatic to ever take a fight on their turn.
But I think this has been the bread and butter for KC.
Like, yeah, who's a zeer has been absolutely phenomenal for them.
It's one of the things that, even coming into the game,
let's talk about saying, I want to see yeah, who's a zeer.
He's fallen on the pick, he's been absolutely fantastic.
And when you look globally, the pick only has about a 40-41% win rate,
but it consistently shows a clutch for them.
And I think having that reliance on champions like yeah, who can bring it,
Not so much the Annie, but at the Azir, these kind of picks where you can pop off in the mid lane and be a massive carry in fights has been so good for Casey.
I mean, I'm fully in line with you. On this here, I think you look night and day from game one.
But I want to look ahead a little bit.
Yeah, because suddenly you see that the blind picks are fading, because now fantastic had a choice.
You either choose blind pick, and end up where your empress has to blind pick a tank or a bruiser against Kanao, with all range picks often available.
or you choose last pick, where you give him the counter pick
but kind of weaken your first rotation.
They have went 41st pick, so I do really fear for Mpros
because Jace is still available, Bane is still available,
Naur is still available.
You need to have a plan going into that 4-5
because it will be really tricky to deal with
an unleashed Kanna.
So I'll give you a moment to think about
what your plan would be for Fnatic.
Rob, for Casey, do we just want to see Stocksander?
Are we looking to Ash-Severphine?
Are we looking just to play through fire lanes?
I don't think you're going to get the Ash Serafina.
I think Fnatic have very much identified correctly
that this is not something you want to give a cross,
but I still do think there are options here coming
into the next couple of drafts.
You still have things like the Caitlyn
that are still open available that you can try and work through
that has been very strong for KC,
and you still have the Niko that can pair alongside it,
very strong as well, to try and give you that,
bot lane to try and play it through.
And I think if you can find these picks
that can not only be strong in that bottom lane,
but give Boosia the opportunity to open up on the map,
I think that's really where you're going to find that strength.
And also I'd love to see the Wukong, well, it's well, Wukong was banned in this one,
but I would like to see more of the Wukong here for you.
I think it's a very strong pick, and being able to go for these quick level 6 plays
seems to be a key to success for you.
So I said it was planned for Flatic, okay?
Okay.
Do not pitch it up early, okay?
You need to drop top 3 to 4 or 5, and then I think what they have to go for,
because similar to the blue side, you follow the ban, the vain and Jace.
Why? Because then you set up your own Nar blind pitch.
But Casey is not stupid, they will most likely ban that Nar away from you,
or pick it themselves as a blind pick on four.
But at least then, you can end up blinding an Ambesa,
a Cassante, without all those three champions in the game.
Sure, there is still the virus,
so maybe you need to ban that one, two, three
if you want to set up for this,
but you need to make sure
Emperors gets a safe blind pickers.
If it doesn't, Kanna will devour him.
Oh, Kanna has been getting massively ahead of him
in both the games.
I think Emperors has been doing a good job
in the lightning phase, but both matchups so far,
we've seen Kanna with a 2K, 3K lead
coming into the mid game.
We'll see what banana it can do what an atmosphere is being what a weekend it has been here in every near Paris not quite
We are just it's just been a pleasure to be here
We can't wait for the final game or the final series of this road trip here for the LEC
We'll be right back just a couple of moments time. Don't you dare go anyway?
Nice, yeah, nice, yeah.
I got it.
Nice, yeah, nice.
I'm looking at it.
No, I'm looking at it.
I'm looking at it.
I'm looking at it.
I'm looking at it.
Yeah, it's very good.
That's good.
Nice guy, nice guy, nice guy, nice guy.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to try to do it.
Give me time.
Wait!
Brother.
Let us break this instead.
Brother.
Have a break.
Have a KitKat.
What is this, brother?
Perfection.
Hmm
Red Bull gives you wings
You think I'm making dance
It's not fun when I'm making dance
If fanatics alright, you know, they seem to have a very strong style and it's
It's more linear, so you kind of know what that music is going to play for when you're
loading in versus fanatic, so I would say that makes them a bit more telegraphed.
They are not as good as they should be like on paper, and I know Bladi since last year
and I like it a lot, so it's going to be, for me it's going to be most fun to play
against fanatic.
Yeah, I feel like if they get their things together, they would be stronger than how
we look right now.
Yeah, it's going to be a lot of stakes for them to perform good and be managed to come to the playoffs.
So, yeah, probably going to be more stressful for them than for like us, the other teams, sadly.
I think when the crowd is on your side, it can make it more of a memorable experience.
It can be a very big highlight of your career.
But in terms of the actual match, I think it's important to not get excited, you know?
Because if you make a good play and everyone's cheering, you might be overzealous for the next play,
You know, you gotta enjoy it, but you also can't let it affect you too much.
For me it feels very good because I feel like the last two events we went to, it was the crowd against us.
We went to Barcelona and we went to Madrid last year in the summer.
So finally we're gonna have the crowd on our side, so I'm excited about that.
The biggest thing is that we want to keep going undefeated.
Last year we went to the World Cup, we won both of the series we played, so we want to keep doing the same.
when I win in the arena, everything again.
That's exactly what Jax is trying to do, that's what he did himself with the Karzaks in Game 2.
Undefended is the goal, and KC almost lost out on that game back to back after Fnatic's
early game on the Sturks on Betty, he's Betty, it's been a long one again.
Yeah.
I'm already coughing, aren't I?
It's been a long one, but we're going to take you through to the end.
That man, I mean, Kometto, I saw him with him in the elevator.
He'd be casting each and every game as well.
We're going to see it through to the end.
We're going to see if KC can remain undefeated on home turf.
In their own house, man, wouldn't it be a statement
if through a thickened thing, just like yesterday versus shifters,
they could see it through, cleanly, to the 6 and 0.
Well, let's find out.
Fnatic have had good early games so far in this series.
But to be honest, given Fanatic's weekend, I have no idea what to predict.
They brought out a Swarovka Game 1. I feel like they haven't been able to read when it comes to focusing on getting a strong bot lane.
I've been clear, I've been good. But can they get a strong bot lane this time round?
Fanatic choose first pick. Let's see how they adapt as Casey go back to the right sides.
The band's already coming in thick and fast, but now they're looking to remove the Norlos Oriana, already taken off the board as well.
A lot of the common mid-lane champions that we see taken away.
I'm thinking about Galeo now for Yehu, one of his other strong picks.
Okay, so you're going down the rabbit hole. We had these all-in side-lane comps like Camille comps.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Whether or not that's the direction they go is yet to be seen.
a ban does indicate that maybe Casey's thinking about an aroi. Also a possibility. Remember
Pantheon man, Pantheon, you mentioned it before on the last drive.
Made it through. Yeah he keeps kind of sliding through these drives. Neither
generally really wants to lock it in but I have to imagine for Fanatic it's
going to be the priority. And notice as well Fanatic here on the blue side this
time around as our drives a little bit cooler we're going to fix that point.
But Casey has consistently been banning Vi up until this point in the
series. Jake Spai has been a lot better even though his historic win
that hasn't been good. Even yesterday you saw the jacket by allegations of
gone as soon as we get that back up we'll tell you what that's about. I saw the
Katelyn. I saw it. The KC's band Katelyn. I don't know what Phenatics
last band was though. I'm down to second. But you talked about the vibe right now.
We see Phenatic covering it. Yeah that is a thought.
Pantheon wasn't bad either so actually it's gonna be locked in as you come
back to picking bands. Yeah but you guys get back here.
Alright, here we are, yeah, so, Serving gonna be taking off the board, Pantheon locked in for Fnatic, that's kind of what we expected.
Okay, I mean, it's weird, I feel like I'm in game 5, right now.
But it is our sixth game of the day, so that doesn't explain it.
So, 180 carries left open right now, you know our Corky, Lucian, Ezreal, Zyra constantly increases in value.
Kaisa also a possibility. Rain support, I mean Aurora, yeah, that's a ton of sense. How could I forget about Aurora? Does Vladdy now consider the Galio? Maybe not.
I mean, you raised the Zyra, Kahn, that's maybe why I just think in two sets about locking in the Vi here, because if I get locked in, Zyra, an easy addition into the comp of Fnatic.
Yeah, I'm also thinking of Vladdy's Victor.
is Victor yeah but I think about range supports yeah Lulu is still open yeah
it's fanatic play I mean Flutskrank is a big big big ass I love it but I mean
Karma is open.
Niko hasn't been played either by the way.
Karma is open.
Niko hasn't been played either by the way.
They could do Jin Karma.
They could do Kaelin's band.
What else do you see with Karma?
My brain is blanking.
You could maybe do severe if you want to scale.
Yeah.
But I feel like Jin makes the most sense.
Like Jin is the one that makes the most sense of my mind.
Because on the other side, herrings with Mulu were now really important, right?
You might not get it here in his rotation, because Jumble's already been picked inside a fanatic.
Now that he's shown there's a chin, I guess the 5s are okay.
They like it, the crowd likes Jyke's right now in the past.
Not so much, but times have changed.
Yeah, I mean, Jyke did have a bit of a stint where his vibe wasn't the best.
That wasn't me. It was not good.
I was being more flowery with my leg.
Brian is, okay, it's steady, I'm looking at my watch.
It's quarter to eleven, just about.
I ain't gonna be flowering, you know?
Flower's a bet.
Alright, man, no worries.
Alright, Casey, moving to the second phase.
There's that Ori, oh wait, Casey, ban the other.
Oh, because they're playing the ball there.
Alright, you're right, it's good.
You're right, good.
Yeah, that makes sense.
So the Ori gets banned away,
do they now ban away the Gallio?
Is the Sandra good into, no,
I don't think it's that good into
what Casey addressed it.
If you're at home, I'm just listening to Vettie go through the motions here.
He's obviously, his brain is just cooking right now.
Right now you can't see him, but he's got his hand in the air like he's, you know,
Picasso's owner, what are you doing?
I'm thinking...
You think you're Shakespeare right now?
He's holding a pose while Naga's back.
I'm trying to remember every champ in the game and my brain...
There's only 140 of them, Vettie.
The victor is the one that at least brings the riders the easiest one.
Yep.
Jack's ban.
Hmm.
Why would they ban Jack's?
I'm trying to think because...
Normally, I would be saying things like...
That's why. They want our best.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well done.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
In case he wants our best.
Financially, are you going to ban the ambassador or are you going to let him have it?
What do you have a good pick into it? Because all your tanks are gone now.
It could also technically be in a war of flecks. I'm just gonna leave that there.
It won't be though.
Yeah, I think so.
Chase is banned, but they don't think of that either on the side of Fanatic.
Oh, in this case he's gonna go on Buster.
Yeah.
We don't have to do it now though. They could just lock in there to carry.
I think Sidney could be good for KC personally.
I think Sidney's really good actually.
Yeah, for Liz's favorite too.
Well...
Just because...
Yeah, so...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So basically, Pantheon's done.
I can Spell Shield, Karma Q I can Spell Shield, Jin Deadly Flourish I can Spell Shield, like it just feels too good.
I like to Sivir a lot, and also like Lulu Sivir, another Hyper, it's just a Hyper Scaling right?
So it makes a ton of sense.
Alright and then you save counter pick for Casey, I think they want to lean towards Ambesa, but it obviously they could go in any direction.
in any direction. I do not think Kassadin is good, just to be very clear. I think it's
going to be, yeah, I think it takes the whole time.
I saw something hovered as a thought and obviously I think it's going to get locked in. I saw it
twist the spike past five, but maybe, maybe too worried again about potential spell shield.
No, I don't think that's good.
But Renekton's not up, so the counter-run Renekton into Embeza.
Yeah, but it's Colona. He has to have something.
Um...
Volleybend?
No, Tephane.
Another B?
I don't know if Bain is the best in the contest at the conf, but it would give you a winning lane.
Or do you just go Cassante and just say, I'm gonna lose lane?
It's Carnivore. He ain't gonna lose lane at Baross. That stays.
Oh, is it locked down in? And you can hear the crowd. Spoiler, it's locked.
A Bain top.
Vettin, what do you think of them apples?
I think I'd prefer Casey's court.
Why?
Because I think that there's no real kill threat on Calist.
I think that Razzle doesn't really have the tools to snowball a good early game,
and I think that Casey just out-scaled them.
So I think they're fanatic like...
Yeah, the problem of going Victor
is that you just don't have an other game agency
to really do anything with a panther.
That doesn't mean that you're weak per se,
But it's just hard to snowball a game off the back of a Victor Pantheon combo.
And so then you turn your attention maybe to bot lane.
But like, Civic, we just went through everything with the Spell Shield, and like once we get level 6, killing this bot lane with Guntar.
Maybe they could dive in for short before level 6.
What about top?
And that's what I mean. It's fame top. Like, yeah, you can basically throw your ex in the basket of let's camp Vayne.
Which teams have done against Garner before.
But if you're doing that, then the Sivir's just free-scaling in the bottom lane and eventually you're going to reach a point where I'm Calist, I'm Sivir, hello!
So, I'm worried for Fnatic, I think that their draft doesn't give them a minute. It does, I think, give them a strong push in the bot lane two versus two.
But yeah, you're going to have to have a masterclass game from Razzle guy thing for Fnatic to come out ahead.
Let's see, final game of the road trip, thank you to everyone at home for joining in, being
a part of it, whether you're on a co-stream or on our native broadcast, it has been a
pleasure to host you.
Or if you're here in the venue, for some reason you've got your phone out, I don't know
how you can hear us.
If you're here in the venue watching the English broadcast, you must have some
good headbugs.
Like noise cancellation is yeah, this is a mistake. He's running the razzle. He's got a flash
Oh, I started with double he has started with W
But what do you value more? Yeah with a flash or your W star? I guess we're gonna find out the speed that it affects
Razzle Gromwig. Yeah, because I think his fear is gonna be heavily affected
Well, I mean hey, buddy, now you have a nice health advantage. You can look to get a couple nice trades in
So both supports are going to hit each other.
The thing about Jin in lane is he slaps.
That's all I like to think about it.
He's just a champ that slaps hard, right?
That's why when you pair him with ranged supports he does very well
just because it's very easy for him to gain lane control.
And you're about to see it right now.
Dancing grenade into the bang
means that he already gets the heal out.
So it's a strong two versus two lane for sure.
Using the bouncing blades.
Ooh, nice straight back from Kuleska.
Tipped to the master, QQ.
There's level two now, Femati.
Oh, oh, Boussio, he gets hit as well,
deadly punch waiting for it.
It finds Boussio, not.
He walks down, dodges.
Nice carding, nice feeders.
Kulesk backs off, and Femati, as you said,
it was two firsts that initiated the play.
Bell's still going to help.
It's situations like this, where I think that
Brassort can now threaten the bot dive.
Pretty hard to afford to.
He's got a path top.
He's actually still pathing top.
So he's pathing away from his bot lane two versus two.
And it seems that his focus is going to be on trying to make some sort of play half the top.
That'll be interesting question Marko, because deadly barish misses Calist.
Kana is already up quite a bit of CS. It's Cannon Wayne.
I mean, we've seen him do this so many times before on the vein where he's just...
Hey, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ranged tops.
Ambrose is going to do his best. And that's really all we can hope for him.
Ranged tops are never a fun experience, especially against someone that really knows how to punish the match out.
Yeah, keep my eyes on the general as though upset and lost but have to be so careful
As oh nice room from yeah who is well
He's just dropping a ward but I'm moving into the fog of war
Increases the threat of a potential run towards the butterfly
Here in the silly going into rugby we weren't talking a little bit about where I talk about
W's slow down the clears beat so far not really. I mean, it's been okay
I mean it's a bit behind yike of course
He's not at the most position
You can be able to get that top crowd, Anthony being just a trade overall.
He's actually even fishing around mid lane. Nice one for Q until the W.
Good crash.
Yeah, he jumps out. Had a movement to keep him right off.
There's a too big of a commitment. Yeah, they're too far away.
Nice use of the W there for me to get away to safety.
Waving a good spot though for Bladdy.
He's got a slow push towards the tower, so he's building a bit of a CS lead.
Yeah, who already invested his TP means that Ladi really is just in a fantastic spot because he still has the TP available to it.
Yeah, who has to try and push this wave underneath the tower, get a base off now.
He's doing it in the middle of the lane though, which is a little bit dangerous.
The chances of it getting interrupted, yeah, I mean he's gonna cancel this straight away.
So now our next protocol is you bring your support.
Now you rely on your support to help get the push, and he's gonna be able to do that.
So nice stuff there from Yeahhu.
The wave was basically still pushing away from this.
That method used perma overextended in mid lane.
until we have depression or the wave hour,
he wanted to stick around for another wave
so Booster has to come and assist.
And now Vali will catch this wave
but Vali will get a nice phase off,
simply because, well, he stayed in lane for longer
and he had the TP available to come back to lane.
War does place by year,
who that control ward you pointed out,
now spotted out by Rizor.
The information that he's on the bottom side of the map
is Yaku's moving up.
We're just counting to these little sticks for junglers,
really, it's been slow early game so far.
But that's what I would expect
I don't think it's the breaking point it feels for both of these teams.
So Vlad is going for the Rotter Vages, which is just like...
What's the problem?
It's just hyper-scaling, man.
It is. And you're worried about scaling.
Yeah, because I think we can't out-scale that!
That's why I asked the question.
I had to get the answer for the viewers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
My apologies.
Ultimately, Rotter Vages delays Victor's ability to fight.
And it is a scaling item. It gives you more HP, which is valuable against Dive.
But against a comp that I think does eventually outscale you,
I think that going for a scaling option just plays into cases with conditions.
It's a good point.
If I talk to only the other option.
I mean, also, the other reason why you go a lot of ages is just because Yahoo has a ton of girls, right?
That's what Aurora is. She's a burst mage, she tries to one-shot you with a comp,
but a lot of ages having HP just really helps.
So that's the reason why he's doing it.
I don't know if it's a great idea though.
Obviously upset you a little bit, so we'll see if it's worth.
As a flighty down here at level 6, you're here, you're just going to receive the way
where Russell moves down. Now you're going to attempt to start this dragon flighty.
He's going to move as well. Yike to the scuttle, also a big question in
as Calista's going to get Tavik, worded down deadly flyers.
Still shoots one part of it, doesn't have the opportunity to get on out.
We're fighting our bottom scuttle, he's secured by Yike level 6.
Hit him for KC and now in trouble as Russell.
He gets all against the patterns. A0 Eno from the chaos on his good and flighty is holding his ground.
Kicks on the turn, straight through Zio, butches two.
It's going to be much as deadly butchers and find a target.
Yeah, who gets out of there without doing too much here outside of the ulti.
And one for one is how we start our game three.
Yeah, bit of an overforce overall I think from Fnatic.
Razork flash W's in to try and keep Yike away from the crab.
Because Yike had the upgraded smite available to him.
But Yike turns his attention towards the crab to try and kill it as quickly as possible.
He then gets the level 6 for himself and utilizes it to help KC get that first blood.
So keep track of Yaik here. He knows that he has the upgraded slide available.
You can see that on the icon on the bottom of your screen.
He flashes to avoid the ground if you're coming down.
Gets level 6, then the Polymorph onto the Pantheon.
The Ulti comes down. They then get that first kill onto Razor.
Of course, Yaik has now committed his flash as well.
So it ends up being a trade one for one.
The good news for Vlad is this Victor will be accelerated,
getting more stacks towards the upgrades.
Once this level disappears. Yeah, so he's now got his first upgrade already
We'll see whether it gets the laser or the queue it largely depends on his preference
I guess it's what you value more though and the people at home
Gak having a lead or Vlad having a lead because the biggest thing for me is that bloody this tournament has been quite influential
I think it's his death row that he shows up here
So yeah, it's Q or either
Yeah, basically sometimes a guy trade more you go for the queue upgrades
Oh, he's actually got Q upgrade. My apologies. I thought the icon was slightly different.
But yeah, Q gives you the bonus movement speed. I think the slightly bigger issue is that he looks better than this one.
He's also up in CS. I mean, 10 CS here, bloody outside of the kill. That's why 500 gold in his stead.
On the other side, I was questioning people at home. Do you prefer Yyk? Because Yyk has been very influential this series.
On his Vi, trading ability, Megapog, as he's going to get invaded now, Fnatic, running in.
It's Razor who's also got a tunnel going to the blue buff spawn.
Casey don't know yet, outside of the wall that's been denied over by this faylight.
This will be taken quick six, as Jyke is going to walk back towards it now.
He has a smite, ball breaker in.
Oh, the smite was early from Razor, and Jyke picks up his own cap.
He's ahead in the jungle.
Here we go, retribution play, pulling off Faberboussio, still dead.
Klistgen's about to get the ball shot, as Alpsen finds Jak on the way in,
meanwhile the final hour can get from Kana.
Solo kill coming in, Embras is close! Kana carries from the top lane.
Fnatic find a good play on the both side of the rift, but Kana answers back in top lane.
Getting a solo kill with the vain is massive for KC,
as Karna is looking to put his carry pans on here in game three.
Karna already up CS, he gets the push and look at that monstrous wave of servers.
Take me up to the horror of top lane while Jyke is doing grabs, teleport coming in,
that'll mitigate some of it, but thank you so much. Oh my lord, about four or five
minions lost. He's 30 CS down, he also got solo killed, a full level behind now.
Two grubs will be secured by KC, one will be answered back by Razork.
Wow, I mean, I like the gank from Fnatic Botlane though.
I think these are the type of plays they need to make.
Take advantage of the fact that Buccio wasn't level 6 yet, didn't have his flash available.
A very clean kill overall for the trading and you can see Upset really winning out in these early skirmishes.
But KC, when it comes to scaling, the fact that they already have themselves an early lead is not a great look for Fnatic or any other game.
The twin worlds is quite nice here on the bloody weeding for a bit of tracking with the twofold hex and
Bloody hold onto his chaos storm. So the trade of ulti's nose. Yeah, who just rocks is in the end as we look towards bottom lane
Clears spell shield deadly fires good. Dr. Wavering blade on the upset. It gets foreshot into Boosja
But taking stock of the early game 600 gold lead dragon still up and hasn't been approached yet as we crest on the 10-minute mark
But again that top lane is an issue as Kana heading towards the pearl side of mighty far
Rhyno spray is coming through from the fanatic bot lane. They are taking advantage of what they can with this Jin Karma doing very good jobs.
This is also going to lose a decent amount of farm there after being forced back to base.
Vladdy and Yehru continues to trade. Vladdy holds onto a reasonable leap for now, but this Vayne man is just getting scarier and scarier.
I'm looking at this fanatic comp and I'm like how do they really deal with it?
I mean, he's running exhaust too, Jin.
I don't know. I'm looking for answers.
After that maybe he's too. He's got Flash, well, we'll really get to use it.
He does. In the bush, Shikers going pitty-pity.
Razzle with the counter-game trade,
Voltbreaker on the way out, Deadly Fights,
Kearney calls.
It's a big play for Fnatic.
If they can line them up, Kalees the last shot.
No, it's in the yank.
That's lost for stills, the kill.
For a subtle run, slowed down and not by the Comet's beer.
As he dodges away from it.
But now Dragon is exposed.
to be taken for free with Fnatic's pick.
I mean, impressive stuff there from Fnatic,
the fact that they were able to escort Upset to safety,
and that he used his ultimate to turn the play around,
allowing for Fnatic to get themselves a kill onto Yike,
was huge.
A bit of farm was lost in the mid lane for Vladdy,
but he committed his TP to make sure
that he was there, ready to assist his team
in the bottom lane, and it really didn't pay off.
So, it was out of the map.
Going the way of Fnatic largely in this early game,
it's just that giant crevice in the top lane
that Fanatic is going to have to deal with at some point.
You know, you close the door, it doesn't mean that it's not on fire.
You're still going to deal with it as a boots-your-face check here and to upset it.
It looks like a good start for KC.
Yeah, it certainly did. The combo was good.
The JCC flash from upset, pops the barrier,
but then the heel on top of the shielding that comes through from Lossborough was fantastic.
Dendi Flush connects, Fladi arrives, forces Yike to flash out early.
And yeah, the only downside is that Lossborough does pick up that heel.
Ideally you want to put that on to Vladdy or to Razork, but either way Vladdy now with his second upgrade after getting that assist
means that he has the Depp and the Q both empowered.
Yeah, he's just taking the wave as you get to push in looking for a back time in here.
He's already got the protocol, so first item on the board is what if Aegis also put Vladdy to the stacking.
If you're a fanatic fan, you're seeing him with the dragon to start the game off.
And the only thing you're worried about is how they start dealing with the top laners.
Razork with his burst item, ulti up and available. My question is, how can he approach top when there are 4 wards controlling all the territory that Razork is going to ult from?
My friend, my friend, my friend. The wise words, I want to say, Brock sir, you just avoid the intons, it's usually the case.
And right now, Placislas Epirus is unfortunately just the inter in this game and you do not go top lane. You just try to attack everywhere else on the map.
Hang on, Lothar in trouble.
It's all about really nice here from Buzio.
Just giving a bit of helping hand with picks.
Harden's sense of picked up as we look towards the top lane.
Yikes, not even.
Come on, Matt. Show the four points of mercy.
I don't know if he will.
Yikes is going to wait for the season to cease.
Ampros is pulling back, however.
Maybe he's just trying to scout.
Yeah, drops the ward.
Will Yikes stay as the question?
I think he's just that to cover.
Yeah, he's just that to cover.
They're on season, this is busted by the Olds,
you have to win the interaction,
but Karn's already in the final hour.
Ampros is dead against the Tarzan.
Flusken down, oh my damn, Karn has got hands,
but the Tarzan is deep, the Comet's been dodged.
Razor will stay alive,
no one else is the top lane from Fnatic,
and still, blood goes down.
Yike is really keen on being a bully in his top side.
Ampros does his absolute best to outplay that,
For those only so much he could do, we look back, his ult timing was perfect.
Just as the ulti from the Vi comes through, he's able to dash away, gets a safety, tries to get a bit of damage down onto Conor, but it's Yike that takes the tower aggro.
Then it comes so close to being another kill, but Razork has the shield to buy some time.
Conor realizes, whoa, whoa, whoa, the tower is stacked up way too much, I can't go for anymore.
One for two, Ruslan does his best to keep his top laner alive, but he's there too late.
The flash was burned by Kana, but he still has the exhaust available, so...
Let's see how it rinses and repeats as we got heralded up in 45 second fast game.
It was a game-to-game one or game-two, rather it was a monster fight around there,
but we'll see what ends up in this game as Ruslan looks setting into position.
I think that the player is not going to get here as well,
but willing to commit and step up with him in the lane.
A fanatic really want priority here.
You can see Yark's bottom on the ward as well as Vladdy now in position 2.
He lost the news fishing.
Notice that they've moved Ambrose out of the lane.
They've decided to send Vladdy into that match.
Hold on, over a ward. Hang on, he doesn't have flash available.
They've got the whole aisle from him.
Small win there for Fnatic.
Level 11 now hit for Vladdy.
The rod of age is a 4 stack so he still weighs away from 12.
Ambrose is just going to take this opportunity to enjoy life a little bit more.
Now that he's gone the lane to himself, he gets to catch minions, clear waves,
and not suffer under the brutal corner obliteration lane.
Here we go, how it started off, good push comes through from Vladdy in the top lane.
Contest over mid is won by an upset.
Here we are, Yag covering around.
Yeah, you have TP but it does look like yeah yikes disembarking of this ride too wild to go for contest
So Harold is given over to fanatic very valuable very very valuable against the severe with so much wait for on the side of
KC you need that extra help to push through these towers
Me more on the side that yeah, you're getting good damage done down on the Bonsai tower
2k gold lead overall though admittedly that gold lead is largely sitting on Karna
So if you're a fanatic fan, don't be too overwhelmed, of course that Kana isn't a scary spot by all means, but it's not all doom and gloom.
If they can kill Kana, a lot of that gold disappears.
And maybe with the Herald setup, they can. I mean, for Kana, he goes deep.
Like, the Ward setup is a lot better now, as at least the Cluton has been picked up by Mbross.
So maybe more of a chance. Jark is hovering around though, Upset is under a weak turret.
KC have grouped up his three, Lossberg in a face check vault, break into the face, Buscio here
Ceasing the skips, turns him into a snowman, dead no, over the wall, Lossberg survived
Well now the diving from Ramos over to Buscio, who forced the flush out
Clears a little bit lower, a yank is holding his ground, looking for the original target of the Lossberg
Out of range! KC from Ramos over the back, a bit into one for one
Bloody, out of the wall, Lossberg is coming, he's in his final hour
He's unleashing hell, effort for Nade, the last hour of their weekend is coming up
The hand is coming up!
The curving call.
In the air, who?
False shot.
Won't do much.
No damage here on the chin.
As Casey never had.
A massive brawl in the bot side jungle.
As Casey answered the call from Fnatic trying to keep their support alive.
It's lost by a face checking in to Yike.
He's not expecting this at all.
And Casey think they've got an easy kill.
The chance to see is good.
Alty into Polymorph.
But he gets this brief win away.
He can flash over the wall.
Razzorg turns his attention on Debuccio and this is where Chaos really kicks off.
The TP's come through from the top laners but Kana just has so much more gold.
Fnatic is split up, they have no way to really focus Kana down and he is just picking them apart one by one.
He gets the kill on Tobladi, he gets the earlier kill on Razzorg and it's 2 for 1 going the way of KC.
You pose a question, who really stops Kana?
Well, in the fight so far, even though there's really only D1 and a small skirmish on topside,
not really anyone stop him. Yeah this dragon starts this will be won for KC and I think he is won for
KC considering that Fnatic a nobody by it. Yeah and I mean like I'm drawing everyone's attention
towards Fnatic in the top lane but like that I mentioned it in draft he's still just got a
Sivir that's just farming and doing a good job. Like yes Calista is behind Upset but it's just
He's just going to keep scaring as the game goes on, fanatic, and they've set up a trap,
but Kana, his Spidey sense is that he leads it.
Yeah, who packed though?
Kana's final hour is up. Can he do the Vayne dream, the 1v2, without a second item?
So suspicious.
Spidey sense that you said, waiting for it, public execution impulse reveals.
Kana goes down, Kana stepping up, last minion dead.
Yeah, yeah, it does stick.
He's like, this is too weird.
And they're going to get mid for him in for Kasey.
They open up mid.
Yeah, absolutely.
Because Fnatic spent all their time trying to set up trap with that and bought lane.
And Kana, he doesn't need to do anything now.
The work's been done.
He wins this match up.
And what's going to go in?
Get the eclipse, but it's about the after trades that Kana looks to proceed with.
Kasey moving down.
Look at this.
The Rift favors Kasey all four there.
Public execution gotched away from...
from now of course there's no way of getting out and going to use the drag
against them but they can stand against the wall in three real estate for coming
core. KC are just slaughtering Fnatic now they are picking a reply across the map.
Fnatic doing their best to get a cross map but the tower is going to be
secured for KC in the bottom lane. Yeah it absolutely is. The arrow will be
dropped they could probably score this towards the next tower in top lane as
well. Get a couple extra plates where they can. Actually maybe yeah we can
interrupt this. My goodness, what else is that to say? Like I've got like a
sunrise in front. Fanatic just don't have the early game tool so really do
much. Oh, happy and all to you though. Maybe Kana's called out. He goes into the
final lane. I'm trying to run away from Ryzor. Deadly Forest connects and with a
curtain call he's dead. Shutdown goes over to Ryzor. Upset, wants some
gold in this game. Won't be given to it just yet, but at least some gold
into Fanatic's pocket. Yeah, so now Kana just overstays. I guess you
could say that he gets a cooker recall. Yeah, that is true Betty, it even takes 30 seconds
to acquire. But Trinity Force. Trinity Force. He's 3,000 gold up. Yeah, that's how much
a Trinity Force costs. Yeah, so one could say it's looking quite dire for Fnatic right
now. The tower will be secured by Fnatic. I guess all eyes turn to upset of being
the potential carry. But I have generally think it's such a tough one. I think KC have
such a better draft. We'll see how things pan out. Two minutes till the next dragon
is one-to-one for now. It only takes a single mistake from KC to give Fnatic an opportunity.
We saw it in the game before. A single spike steal from Fnatic. Sorry, from KC was
enough to get the win against Fnatic in the previous game. Right now things are
looking simply fantastic for KC as he looked around about this weekend with the 3-0 series
score.
It would be a statement wouldn't it?
It would be a 6-0 LEC spring with three more series to go afterwards but even though it
doesn't paint the picture of the challenge of shifters, the challenge of fanatic here
in the series, it would still put KC as our best team alongside Vitality right now.
Absolutely.
That'd be the third team to lock in playoffs behind Narvik behind Vitality but it would
to raise the question, well, is this going to be another KC split?
Is it going to be like 2025, where they went to first stand in our winter?
Well, there's still two weeks left to go.
At KC, they've still got some tough opponents ahead of it.
So we'll see how things transpire.
But KC, I mean, there've been challenges we can.
There's the truth.
The expectation was that it would be 2-0 across the board,
and that's not really what we've been given.
I think that we saw some surprising performances from both shifters and fanatic.
But yeah, KC now and game three really establishing their dominance.
With a 3K gold lead, Dragon's morning in a minute's time.
They've got Yahoo pushing in the top wave. I like this from him.
He has the TP ready to go and a moment's notice.
Fanatic with good vision control around the Dragon.
They pushed out bot.
But they've got to reset, they've got to replenish, they've got to spend what gold they can ahead of this objective.
And this will give KC an opportunity to reclaim that vision control.
Yeah, he's also got two items here.
So we're talking about a contest around the Dragon.
Even though why did you pick up Leandris?
Obviously right now, you see the burst of an Aurora.
And that one-shot capability that we've seen week after week here in the LEC and internationally, of course,
that's now up and available. Angle's being bought about here.
As Casey holds control towards a river line through some of this rip right now.
Carter's now in position two, and we teleport in.
It's commitment, but either the Baron or, of course, is the drake.
There he is at ETP. Yeah, he's hovering on the flank.
I think there's a ward there, so he wants to play through the fog of war, bloody suspicious of it, here comes Yahoo from the flank.
Captain Orion might be captured over, if he walks is fanatic. Interfrash don't see him just yet, thank you observers.
Upset, oh he's the one isolated.
It's full breaker. Oh big mistake up, second he's found out, Mimo on 6th and the 6th between worlds, hits everyone, front to back, never gives his corners wide in the middle, everybody's ready to build him, sink his fangs in his flush over, corners there get stunned up and it matters not, and cross shot to find a new target, but two are already dead.
And it was perfect for Casey to start the fight.
They made it look personal as they targeted Vladdy and wanted to eliminate him from the fight quickly.
Over the wall, the flash comes through from the eye, he sets his sights on the victor.
And then Kana's left to unleash, level 15 on the vein.
Tearing apart Fnatic, KC are making this final game look very one-sided.
Lost is gonna look for an angle up in the top lane after between worlds has been used by Yahoo
It's still a two out of my rora lost becomes a division now
Two-fold hacks and waiting for the waiting across the veil jumps out brought about kites through but the TV plank gonna come through first
It's Carter with an angle blade now the next throw of a busier is joined in
It's a trap, Casey set the trap, Carter captures one, Upset's dead, lost bro again in the vain buses
He'll be changed because the final hour is silencing all the doubters
with Casey in their own damn house will not say die.
Kana on a killing spree as his TP cuts off the escape of Fanatic,
looks to kill the hope of Fanatic as they turn their attention towards the Baron.
A 5.5K gold lead for Casey, looks nothing short of dominant.
Who ran out this weekend here in France.
Denying Bloody's revenge and his statement coming into this.
the upset as well, KC's new squad, we can pick up Baron, a major coldy that
crests over 6000 and the game in the palm of their hands.
We'll look back at the mid lane fight, Yehru sees the focus is onto Vlad, he does
everything he can to get out of there, he drops his ult, he drops the growdy
field, Karna just dances around it. He eye-cats the second kill onto Razork,
but the damage is terrifying and it comes back to this question of how do
How do they deal with Kana?
Drops need to almost quickly onto upset.
The damage suddenly disappears
and then a polymorph onto the victory as well.
It's just...
It's so hard for Fnatic to play this game.
The vein has been such a fantastic pick
from start to finish.
Kana...
I mean, he has been the MVP here
of Game 3.
That guy's definitely Korean.
5-1-4, 3.6K gold lead.
Fnatic need to move their way out of this hole
And I'm just talking about the top lane right now
He's also got a QSS with a BF sword as Yark gets over the wall to help Khalees secure this turret with the baron buff
Vlad is trying to get his work done and the top lane gets some gold back, but mid under fire
Box cell under fire Yark finds an angle Razorg's here, season to season interrupts the stun between worlds with the knockup from the Lulu
Wild grows under Razorg onto Yark's head Khalees will pick him up
Yeah, he gets out of the wall, burst a bit of MPOS as well, but Casey are on the home stretch, curtain call, trying to slow the game down, and then Casey out of the face, but Yipe absorbs, and Casey deflects to the next wave.
I mean the wafer is good for Fnatic, but it is not good enough.
The list immediately returns to the tower, takes another plate for himself, they have the way of the tower, will fall.
They're stuck 30 minutes and the base has already been broken.
Fnatic scrambling for anything that they can find, but their options are quickly running out.
Inhibitor's exposed. Fnatic are going to defend the mid lane, keep that inhibitor at standing.
He's kind of runs for his life. He's okay for now.
As his lead grows, as Casey has moved to 9.5k,
he'll back safely, prepares for his next dragon,
and look to roll out the red carpet.
Although I will say, I think the fans have already done that.
And I think the praise will be elongated after this weekend.
As 3,000 people continue to cheer on,
even when Casey were into spare and game two, they never stopped.
But it just keeps getting wilder.
The only way Finansi can really have a chance of turning this game around is if KC make a
egregious mistake at this point, Kana Kana has to die.
But even if he does, Sivir is now online.
I mean, Kallis was already doing damage before, but I assure you the Sivir is going to be
melting, I mean, look, just a bouncing blade to the left.
Sivir chipped away a vessel, says B.
Oh no, oh no.
KC have already backed off, there's the ulti from the pathiel as well.
There's the fightstop, Faber, yike.
Into the GM, one goes, taking a while to die, season to this.
On his dead bed is Carter.
Decides to frontline up in the between world.
Hang on.
Kiting out a little bit is not too bad for Fnatic.
Carter gets post, and sad beat comes out.
Khaled's still healthy enough, it's Fnatic going to go on in.
There's a curtain call.
Khaled's willing to spell shield us two, three,
one to four, probably his fusion flies away from.
Gravity's knocked down as well.
and the ladies out at Epros wants to go in, but over ambushes Jack tries to find
and Dillard Varch will find him, Jack dies. Fnatic half a moment as Clips runs into
Epros, gets a trade off Kielber, good for one, but nothing, a finding mall.
Yeah, he has to flush away, not out of this game, upset his full leg feet,
we'll get the mid laner, and Blighty splits the tell-the-tail.
Kanna's now here, it's a condemned to get out, Dillard Varch,
wanna find a stun, but as he burns down, the light allows, not enough.
but now they kick Casey in the teeth.
Unbelievable, simply unbelievable by Frenatic.
The fact that they find a fight in the top lane like that,
this game felt done and dusted, but Casey over-extended.
They stayed too long in the fight.
We look back and it's a commitment, it's a last-ditch after the TP flank.
I thought this would result in their demise,
but the path on ult timing is good.
It arrives chipped with all the TP,
so the bottom one goes on the Razzles,
but he throws the E out, mitigating so much damage.
They get the first kill onto Yike, who comes through the GA.
Now Kana oversteps alone.
Fnatic regroup, and from this position,
they actually have the range to chase Casey down.
Hit by bit, slowly but surely, they take away the Casey HP bars.
Casey then try to turn it, and that's the moment
that Fnatic look to strike.
They get one kill onto Yike, they get the kill onto Kalist.
Shutdown after shutdown.
Kill after kill.
Fnatic miraculously find a fight in this game.
The support on wavering for concerns now on rise.
Fnatic with his chase stands with his shutdowns.
They minimized it down to only 6,000 gold in the lead.
Actually, we've come back to life. 5,000 just above that as dragon was denied.
Fnatic picked it up in the replay.
Fnatic have reignited the hope that given themselves a chance.
It's true, the problems haven't disappeared.
Khan is still a problem. Kalist is continuing to scale however.
They've showcased that they can do it. They've shown they've proven it themselves
and they've proven to the people watching that the fight can be won.
And that's all they need. As long as they believe that there's a chance then they will play for that chance.
Baron, 30 seconds away. That could very well be the thing that they are looking for.
Four items on upset. Vladdy, working towards that as onyers.
The GAs down for both journalists and Embross still very far behind Ghana but two
items finished. Working towards that either Death's Dance or G8.
Fanatic still in a very difficult position. Casey lost a single fight but
they have not lost the game.
It's taking stock.
Flash as I see that are available.
Currently a none outside of Lost Fog.
One coming up for Bloody, one coming up for Upset.
Soon Callister is there as well.
But the main thing is that Bloody in that fight,
a lot of damage output, a lot of uptime.
He's doing a lot of work here on this scaling big dust.
We question the builders, we're in the early part of the game,
making more and more sense. Now with that uptime she's doing a lot of work to
chip through KC who don't have a hard tank. They only have an enchanter and a
bruiser and a couple of squishy carries. It is Vladi who can get revenge on the
organization. Some mean things were said, some heads but the Vladi has a
chance to shut them up here today. Barons up everyone focus around the
topside, Vananak surprisingly walking in with head held high.
They gain control over the river, it's Casey that backs off, now the fight for the midway of control begins.
The sidelines looking fairly positive, right here we go again.
Casey, season to this as well, he's going to block the damage, no, he's pulling off his stand,
getting in the last fight, and Casey is back to square one,
coming into the world through the fight, and just when you think Vananak have a chance,
John's gonna shove them all up, Yikes set it up, Kana dumps it down, and Casey reignite!
Just like that, Casey snuff out the hope that Fnatic had built for themselves.
They find a convincing fight and they're looking to end the series right here, right now.
There was only one way to end this, only one right way is with Casey
3-0 in the weekend. In their home turf, France is erupting.
The arena is blowing up and Casey are undefeated without any doubt.
Playoffs secured. 6-0 Casey will join Vitality and Navey.
And in an indisputable style, they put Fnatic back in the ground.
What a roster, shaky at times that their ceiling grows ever higher.
Kasey, you have to vote Yakiya player of the series, Kanayamu or Yike. All great options.
But I mean they go into the final weekend of the LAC, the next row trick in Madrid, 6-0.
It's going to be an exciting weekend. The fight for the top of the table in the LAC is still a tight race.
But Casey will qualify for playoffs.
Three spots secured, three left up for grabs.
Fanatic not out just yet, but their road just got that much harder.
It did, and even though today they had an impressive performance,
better than we've seen so far in spring.
Casey are just a mountain decline.
Are they the best team in the LEC?
I think that's very hard to say right now, because they were challenged this weekend.
They showed weaknesses.
It was a great way to close things out, but I think that with Casey to look
dominant coming into the weekend, I've definitely exposed some opportunities
that these teams are going to be looking to take advantage of, but they'll have a week off
getting ready, but you've heard enough from our select here from the player on stage with Law.
It's not over, indeed, because we want to listen to Alice!
It's not bad, right?
It was a long weekend, you were waiting for it.
Alivanc as a team who dominated the LEC, there was a lot of waiting.
I can understand a little bit how the weekend went.
Of course, being the home team, there's a lot of expectations.
There's a lot of weight on his shoulder, but I just want to know,
has one of the best teams in the league, how did everything go?
What's it according to the plan?
And what does it do in French?
I think French is a great player against Schiefters,
against Fnatic,
but otherwise, when we arrive in the weekend,
We played at home with all the fans, and I think that what made the difference was to play in front of the crowd.
We really didn't want to lose and show a good level in front of the team.
We made a lot of mistakes, but the most important thing was to win.
I want to ask him, as the top team in the LSE right now, usually it's even harder to
stay at the top because people are aiming to take you down.
You don't have anyone to take notes from being the best team.
So how do you keep on getting better and surpassing yourself in this situation?
I think it's the first time you'll find yourself in this situation of absolute domination,
in the winter and in the winter as well.
But how do you do it to learn from it and maybe not surprise yourself next time by making the same mistakes
when you dominate in the league? How do you stay top?
Well, of course we try to stay humble to the maximum.
We aim very far, we aim for the MSI and the Worlds,
but at the same time we have to go step by step to not try to burn the stages
and also learn from last year.
And we just try to stay the most impossible,
see what we can do better each time.
We are very, very united, especially in events like that,
on stage, etc.
We really love this kind of event,
especially a little more when it's in front of the fans.
But yes, we try to stay as much as possible,
to work every day to give the maximum.
And of course, all this is accentuated
by all the messages of the fans and all the support.
The support from the fans is of course very appreciated. Stay humble, stay connected and stay together is the key so far.
And that's what brought them success in the LEC and that's what they count on for the rest of this journey here.
They're aiming for an SI, they're aiming for Worlds and the world doesn't stop here.
But I want to know, it's been a really stressful week for him, maybe a really intense week with the ENC announcement
with how much success he had, with knowing that he was going to play in front of his audience today.
How much does he weight the success that he had in such a short time because he started playing in the LEC a year and a half ago only.
You have a lot of things to announce this week, finally, the UNC.
I think it was expected, but I think people are very happy to find you, to represent France at the end of the year.
And you are here as a major French figure, a major European figure, in a little bit of time.
What does it mean for you to know that you will represent your country at the end of the year,
and to know that you count as much and that you represent as much for France today, for Camille Caliste?
It's very hard to realize, because it's going very fast.
I always feel like I'm 16 years old, but I'm starting to learn from my age, even if it's okay.
It's okay, yeah.
But seriously, compared to the ANC, it's just rumours.
But I'm very proud to be able to represent my country, if I'm going to be called,
for the first edition, it's something very gratifying
It's very gratifying and it's also something that will be important for me in the future to be able to represent my country as I wanted it to be.
We try to live day by day. It's always a bit complicated to realize everything with the right authority and everything around us.
But just stay focused on yourself and stay safe.
Yeah, I'm not getting overwhelmed by all the success that he had so far.
For the closing thoughts of this interview,
I'm going to ask him to say something in French to his audience,
so we're going to focus on that for the rest.
I'm going to let you finish your sentence.
I want you to address the audience.
You see them here.
Thank you!
What does it mean?
Every Carmen event is absolutely incredible.
And this one, of course, didn't miss the call.
I want you to leave a message.
One last time here in Evry for this retreat, for everything they brought you,
and for what it is for you to have so much support from fans.
I have a lot to say.
First of all, a big thank you for all the support you gave during all these matches,
during the last three days.
Thank you also to all the people who are on the stream.
In general, just a big thank you to all the fans for the support.
It really takes a lot.
It has kept the feet on the ground,
has tried to climb and also to push each day to be better.
And just a big thank you once again for this weekend.
I'm looking forward to continue with you and all I know is that I love you
but we'll see what the future holds for me.
Thank you very much, Kallis.
Thank you very much to the fans, of course.
A thunder of applause for Kallis, please!
What an amazing experience it must be to be down there on the stage.
You've got a blue wall, an incredible performance by Casey across the entire weekend.
And we are honored to be joined by part of the dynamic duo in the bot lane.
Buccio, how's it been? How's the weekend been?
Hello, hello. I mean, it's been good, you know, this kind of venue for regular season matches.
You know, something I've never experienced. So very, very unique and cool.
I mean, I want to hear him do it right. So you want to get this over in NA?
Yeah, it's true. Definitely not for regular season.
I thought you got to stay here now, that's kind of where we're going.
But yeah, incredible performance all around.
I will say, and this is kind of an abrupt change of pace,
Casey looks shakier this weekend than they have looked across the rest of the splits.
Have you felt that?
And if so, what do you think has caused that over these last three days?
Yeah, I felt that for sure.
We're making very basic mistakes.
We're losing early game so hard and somehow still winning the game.
I don't know how.
But uh, the reason I know I mean it's probably like the fact that you know, we're playing three days in a row
um
A very heated venue like literally temperature wise, you know, we're not thinking straight and we also haven't been screaming that much
So probably a combination of those just makes us maybe a bit lazy or just out of practice
I mean, it's okay
It gives the team a bonus in the game, two roadshows, right?
Are there any lessons you took away from this roadshow to prepare you better for the next one?
Second?
Is there any lessons you took from this roadshow to prepare you better for the next one?
Yeah, I mean, probably just having better expectations, like understanding, like, you know, it's a roadshow, like you're traveling the day before, so you're not screaming like you usually would before a normal match.
So making sure, like, you're communicating really thoroughly with your team, making sure everyone's aligned, looking at the same stuff, because maybe people are more tunneled on their matchup versus the map.
in the math so just kind of like yeah just knowing what happened this weekend
and being ready for it. It's also a big patch coming out in a week on Wednesday.
You guys have a little bit more time to prepare for it, not playing this weekend.
Have you had a chance to look at anything in that patch or any ideas that you're bringing out?
We looked a little bit but I honestly don't read patch notes before they hit
live because I don't want to get confused with what's in the game versus
what's not in the game but I remember there were like a lot of changes
because it's the new season or something.
Yeah, there's quite changes to top lane and mid lane.
There's going to be a lot of interesting stuff happening.
Obviously, how often you have Cardiff in the top lane
when you can just do what he's doing anyway.
But yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing how you guys adapt to it.
You are also holding up the Venecton paddle.
Correct. We talked about this earlier.
You have no idea where this meme comes from.
Ben, do you want to release it for Buccio?
Absolutely.
So this is the League of Legends history
for all the kids down there or out there.
So back in 2012, I think, there was a cosplay competition over somewhere,
and there was a beautiful man who won the competition with this astounding Renekton cosplay.
And when he was interviewed for his prize, the interviewer asked him a question,
and his response was legendary. He said,
I'm French, I'm French, I'm French.
And ever since that moment, this man has been immortalized.
And from now on, ever since that day, Renekton is French.
And that's the history and you are now taught that history. Yes. I'm looking forward to seeing you win over next in cosplay at some point
You know next time
Yeah, yeah, you'll do it. Yeah. Yeah. So if you got undefeated in regular season, you'll be next in cosplay for us
Why do you think you deserved it over him? Why did I deserve it?
Because I built the ardent, you know, and I shielded him
So like everything he did was because of me, just uh...
That's just how it works.
I mean...
You feel very comfortable in his meta knowing that Kanna's probably the deepest range top there in our league
because I've seen a lot of drafts where it's like,
enemy team is banning, gnar, Jaze, Varus, Vayne,
and you guys can just pick which turn you want and you're probably gonna win.
Is that very nice to know?
Yeah, but like uh...
Kanna on stage is like a beast, put on scrims, he doesn't always give me the same confidence.
confidence, but like, you know,
he's like, I mean, locked in, and then he just works.
It's a little bit of a grief for him, that's what I'm getting.
I think he's just like, the reason he's so good on stage
is because in scrims, he's just like more testing and whatnot.
And then on stage, he locks in, he's just phenomenal.
So, you know, like, if he's first time doing something
on stage, I'm like, oh, wasn't looking so good.
And then he picks on stage 1v9, I'm like, he's just,
he's just him.
He's just the stage player of all time, you know?
We did have a great class at the standings.
You're locked in, we have Vitality locked in,
have Na'Vi locked in.
We have SK shippers locked out alongside Heraldic so far.
Is there a team you think is going
to get that final spot?
The battle is between GX, G2, Fanatic, and the Coins.
For one more walk?
No, no, no.
Three more for a walk.
One piece to get knocked out of those teams.
OK, what's the concern?
Fanatic, G2, G1X, and Coins.
Maybe GX or Fanatic would get knocked out.
I think I make the most of Fanatic.
I think they need to win every single game and it's not completely in their hands.
They can technically still make it, but it's going to be a tough road because they're going up against.
I think it's vitality and heretics. It's the remaining schedule, so definitely two wins there.
It's going to be a tough one. I do want to thank as well KT for having an amazing event.
It's just been incredible. The fans have been in the loudest voice I've ever heard.
I will say one of the loudest cheers I heard the entire time we were here
was the end of Game 3 of the first series of today, when Poby got a pen to kill.
I think the fans just really wanted to see you guys on stage
But before we say goodbye here from Paris we have a big announcement of what's to come in the LEC for the first week of summer. Let's check it out
We will be back in France, in the Adidas Arena in Paris from the 24th to the 26th of July.
It's going to be an amazing experience.
Just very quickly, Boussio. First time you've been here in Lesovina, here in front of the fans. How did it affect you as a player?
It's just like unreal that, you know,
so many people live want to watch us play League of Legends, that's sick, and then of course like the community, you know,
like the crowd is very for us, so yeah, it's very nice.
Well, hopefully next time we get to see you continue the undefeated streak for KC.
