Don't try to make yourself in my love, darling.
Don't look for me, I'm not looking for you.
Don't try to make yourself in my love, darling.
Don't look for me, I'm not looking for you.
So, remember, darling, don't look for me, I'm just a story of pencils, so let's pretend to let it all out.
Cause when we're gone, everything goes on.
You're staring at the window And I said I want to take you to the sea
And when I'm better I will do everything I gotta 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?
Something happy I wanna cast, but you won't have to cry
Cause we're to the green, well I'm by your side
I said, don't try to make yourself another girl
Darling, don't make me a justice to the new face of me
So let's pretend to live alone
Cause we're the girls, everything goes on
I'm so scared of getting used to that
All the lines that keep you tethered in your room
Some day both of us are leaving here
But for now, I'll just bring this to you
Oh, when you meet me in the daylight
Like we did before
Then I felt you on my shoulder
And you weren't suffering anymore
You said I'm sorry that you were
I don't apologize
I told you to forgive me
But you stayed by my side, when I said
Don't come at me, cuz I'm the man
I was, darling, don't look for me
I'm just a stubborn, pit-a-pat
So let's pretend that I'm the man
I'm the one
I'm the one
I'm the one
Everything goes on
No matter what you do, it's all between me and you
I repeat your words, but I won't stop
I can't help but fall in love with your face
I hope I can meet you again on the edge
Even if I repeat your words, I won't stop
I'm so jealous of you that I can't help but want to see you
I can't help but want to see you
My nights are empty Missing you every day
I wish that you'd come back to me
It was every weekend
Bringing me nothing but joy

I won't let you go, in a heavy sludge
When I won't let you go, in a heavy sludge
That's what you think

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Woohoo!
You guys are only about to go nuts, for this fight with him.
Oh, Christy! Christy!
Oh my god, are you okay, Gogo?
Honestly, every time I saw you dashing in,
Alias, you gave me a hard attack.
Fine, even. Just the video game.
Yeah, not many of you have seen that you choose can I you choose all good help me soon
Hello
Oh my god looking at it was so epic this is great by the way
I love it. I love this very amazing. You look absolutely amazing welcome back
Two weeks ago, here on the LEC, we're back from the road trip.
Everyone was saying that we had so much fun!
The games, the atmosphere, the fans, everything was so great.
It just felt like everyone was on the same page.
Like the crowd, everyone behind the scenes was so happy.
Like, I don't know a single person that was upset about that road trip.
I think we have a long list.
I guess what, you're like, come on!
Everyone had fun except me!
What?
The event was great! Everyone had fun!
I don't have fun, he played better, it looked decent, but that just coped, at the end of
the day it was still an L, who cares if you play better?
They care, they care, if you don't smile for them then who are you to look at?
That's true, we had a blast, I even saw some fanatic fans in every, that is not something
than I expected here, but look at this crowd, look at this atmosphere.
I keep on saying that every KC event gets better every time,
but I just feel like from the fans' perspective and everybody,
it taught everything they did before.
And from seeing the players on stage,
even the players who are not KC were having fun on stage.
Exactly, even from me as an enemy, I guess,
because I was a facility fanatic being there,
the chance was great. Everyone was sure there were fans,
where they were bullying him, but they were being extremely loud, they had so much energy,
even Bladi was getting food at some point, but maybe that's why he played better, right?
It was just overall a great experience, a great fun.
It was inside and out. In the arena it was insane, outside the arena it was insane. I mean, look at this!
Like, it is absurd! And even the players were joining in.
Like, I don't know how you can keep that going for so long, but it was like six hours, seven hours
of a day that they were just cheering and going nuts the whole time.
It's the first time that I see players joining the fans, enchanting with them before the series.
The cops showed up at some point, but it's fine. Everybody was having fun.
And you know who I am?
He was the first time Yehu was in front of the French audience, and he was feeling it.
He was feeling it.
It is so good. I like it. Yeah!
It's adorable. I love seeing this.
It's giving Guma Yoshi vibes. It's good.
I mean, they got to do the hell from it. Everything.
Yeah, I mean it's hard being such a beast, you know, but he deserved it, I think he had a phenomenal weekend.
And like, look KC had their moments where it looked a bit like they've been rocked, but I mean I think they stepped up Tommy again.
And I think when the crowd is on your side like that, I think that means a huge amount.
And for a player like this, I mean, look at the hands-diff! That was on show at times from this man.
That's not easy to dodge, it comes from Fogo 4 and there's so much pressure on stage, but yeah, the fans just did wonderful.
wonderful the match going to you all having great performances sure it was the
couple of two ones but overall Casey's level has been extremely well yeah and
it's so awesome seeing you like this item as well because obviously that you like
is a bit more exposure to it and each of us sitting there letting you soak it all
in it's like they're just sharing the moment together it's really nice I love
it and next week we're back on the road again and we're going to go to
Madrid another one hosted by MCoy again this time around three days of
2 best of 3s per day and a surprise on day 2, it's going to be team Kamedo against team Ibai and Hyde.
That's sick! Like I love the fact we've added this because it just adds a little bit more takes to it.
And more bang for your book as well, like you get an entire 3 series that day, it's going to be insane.
Yeah, and especially with so much on the line for the teams, there's going to be a lot to prove.
You can get your tickets by the way, you see here, the link is right at the bottom of your screen.
screen but for now back to league back to edity and back to a huge patch that
dropped recently I'm surprised that we have that many changes at the middle of
the season like this what is that about yeah it feels like a new patch for the
start of the year like you've got new items you've got room changes you've
got like a scaling all change champions adjusted like look at many
champions are in that injustice line oh this is insane oh boy we are so
blessed because it's been such a long time since we had new Doran's items
New runes as you said this was usually reserved for the beginning of the season
But now having a mid-season patch where you have Doran's items you get more options to start
When is the last time we have one of those because we will start with Doran shield ring and blade for the longest time ever
Now you have Doran's help if you want an alternative to the tanky items where I already at first base
You do outscaled the Doran shield. That's for top lane mostly, right? That's mostly for top lane exactly
You have Doran's go for if you're being a greedy little pancy
The AD carry is super solid where you're like everything is about you and you want to get dopamine from minute one
You go that's a little bit more high-risk high reward. It does scale a little bit better
You do get to go double adaptive shot, but
The item I'm most excited about I have not heard them shut up about this. I've been talking about this for hours
Because we have new boots in the store. We it's been a while since we had this level of hope people
I love shoes
They even moved OmniVamp because they were toxic from the game, but now you get them on shoes and you know who can buy shoes?
Everyone!
No! They do, you can buy boots on Casio. The meme is dead.
Now you get to buy boots and on the mid lane quest when you upgrade it, you have OmniVamp, you do more damage, you heal more.
That's just over tuned. Yeah, it's absolutely insane. Like they are so cheap, they go great.
And I think it's really cool to see like versatility coming back into the game through these new items
But the one that I'm keeping my eyes none of these starter items. Yeah, it has to be static shift
This thing is so broken. It's insane like look at this
You get to apply your on hit to everyone you hit with the shock and this has opened up a ton of new builds
I'm seeing a piece in jail run amok. I was in a game where there was a one and sevens in jail on the other team
I'm 16 and four is Orianna and I cannot kill this guy. He is unkillable with this AP build now with the new scaling
Oh my god, that's healing is just insane. Honestly, I love it
I don't think it's a great item, but it's a fun item
You get to build it on a lot of champions you get to synergize with the pretty much any of your champions
Get anything that has on head you get to build maybe ravenous hydra or other items to synergizing get your power fantasy to the
Absolute limit and especially if all takes are closer or they work so well because that then applies on your abilities
They're on hit applies on abilities. So they just work in tandem so incredibly well. So I think that's something to keep my eyes out for
Absolutely everything fold up a min patch and a lot on the line for the teams because the race for playoffs is on
Yes, it is teams are out and they're gonna be playing for fun
He's on this patch. It's gay team heretics and shifters still have games to play
But they're gonna be doing it for the beauty of the game on the other side
the top of the standings is locked and we have four teams fighting for these three last spots and one of
them is not like the other. Oh yeah we have four teams, Fnatic can still technically make it but
it's rough, it's rough. This weekend the next week we'll decide a lot because as you said there's
three spots for four teams, Fnatic's chances are a little bit low but they're still looking at other
teams like GX, Mkoi and G2 because they are facing off against each other now in the upcoming
weeks and everyone can drop games. Basically if you're a Fnatic fan you want Fnatic to win
all the games and you want G2 or Mkoi to go one and eight in the remaining games
and lose all the remaining series. Basically that's what you need to
have it so easy easy easy easy. Easy peasy. Easy peasy. In theory.
Yeah you've got it. And for the top teams on the bracket you actually really wanna
log those first spots because this is gonna give you a spot in the upper
bracket leading to playoffs so again a lot to play here especially if you're
like G2 if you're Mkoi and looking at the schedule here this week it is
Let's do our die. First fanatic. We said it's not even in their hands, but they definitely have to win every game.
Pretty much, pretty much. If fanatic loses a single game, I think, if I'm not mistaken, the playoffs graphic is already decided, I think it lost the top six.
Excuse me, when I look at fanatic...
You're choking.
I am choking because that's what I wanted, I was just a lot of choke.
So, when I'm looking at Fnatic, the one big winner from every and the one saving Grace has been glad to be
because we expected a lot more from him as fans and as pretty much anyone because his level from past year when it came to versus, it has been quite poor.
We haven't seen the individual laning phases, he wasn't really doing great, but in every with the power of the hate watchers, I think he's done a lot better.
he stepped up he complimented upset in a way that he didn't honestly compliment me
because none of the other players were stepping up and he is one of the shining
lights when it comes to this week for fanatic. Yeah and I think that's where
my focus is like I think you look great on the victor. I loved his Ari I thought
he was really putting himself in the positions to step up and be a carry and
I think that was where that spark could be missing for me for bloody so if
we can see a similar performance now coming into this weekend maybe fanatic
can start to get things on the road or at least give us something to
year for we look towards them. Yeah I mean to be honest they might not have won
all their games in every but I definitely saw some shining light in the
black and orange jersey and ahead of today's game actually caught up with
Razork about the week they had and everything that's coming ahead so let's
check it out. Razork it's been a pretty busy week for you between the EWC
qualifiers and playing this weekend again on a brand new patch with a lot of
things so how has practice been for you guys did you get any chance to get
ready for everything?
I mean, honestly, we started the patch, we went through the patch, we didn't have time
to practice, so today we're going to go like with the flow, and hopefully, I mean the patch
there are some big changes, but most of the things are going to be the same, I guess,
so hopefully we're going to be updated on the patch today.
Go with the flow, and I guess we play solo queue anyway, so you can get some practice
from this.
Do you feel like you learned from the EWC qualifier, because even if it's another
competition it's actually official games so maybe more value than scrims?
I mean yes and no I feel like we obviously play less games than scrims and scrims
we play these games but the qualifier it kind of felt like a scrim more or
less like teams were actually taking more risks here when we play in states or
in France I feel like people were more scared to make mistakes but I don't know
since everyone's playing from the office it felt like more like casual at
Please, that's how I felt.
You say in France you guys were maybe more scared.
That's not the feeling I got when I saw you play.
I actually feel like maybe even if you didn't win all the games,
it's one of the best faces I've seen from Fnatic.
I felt like Vlad, for instance, was more alive than usual
and was doing more things than usual.
And for me, it depends on mid game
and how mid game goes usually.
So talk me through what goes wrong in this phase of the game.
Why is it the moment usually things go bad?
Yeah, I mean, I think last split we were having really bad early games.
I feel like this split is the opposite.
We're having very good early games, but we're just not able to, like, snowball the lead.
Somehow we always f*** up in mid wave and mid wave in mid game.
And like, we end up throwing either on drakes.
It's something that we are working on and we're trying to do our best,
but we still make a lot of mistakes in the face of the game.
Communication, is it execution? Where do you think things go wrong?
I think it makes, I think, execution
and maybe some misunderstanding on how the game should be played out.
I think when we don't have that knowledge or we don't know what to do,
I feel like we tend to go more as individuals and do random things
and that's where the mistakes come from.
All right, so now thinking about heretics, it feels like this should be in your hands,
even if no fanatic game is ever easy.
But what do you have to be careful about your own gameplay today,
not about the opponent, to make sure that everything goes right?
Well, I mean, I think all we have to do is not underestimate the opponent.
We showed good stuff, but we also showed really bad stuff, so we just need to make sure that
we take these games as serious as any other game, because we still have a chance to make
it to playoffs, even though if it is not 100% on us, we still have a chance, so we
will try to take it as much as we can.
All right, positive attitude.
Thank you so much, Ratharok.
Thank you.
And here we are, ready for this day of this week, week 6.
What does that mean?
This day of day 1 of week 6.
Is it week 6 ready?
Yes.
Are we sure?
Yes.
Two weeks left of the LEC regular season and they're still on the line.
Week 6 and week 7.
Yes.
Two weeks left of the regular season.
That is what that means.
Go on, just check it.
It's for Hanna vs Heretics.
We're going to kick off the day.
the day, heretics are already eliminated from Florence contention and although you might look
at Fnatic's record over the last few days, the last few weeks and think, oh, they're probably
out as well, they're not.
They're not.
9% of scenarios remaining if you assume 50-50 feet between all of the team playing in those
scenarios, Fnatic make it through.
And winning here would be a big boom to them.
If they lose here, they kind of need a G2 and M-Coys to make it through.
Fnatic need a W to make it through.
It's been a rough week for Fnatic, some results have not gone their way, to say the least.
So with this final weekend, they are eagerly searching for two wins.
If they can get two wins, the odds of them qualifying for playoffs increase, but that
doesn't mean that the road is really in their control.
And they're still relying on G2 and MCoy, one of those two teams, into it, like absolutely
dropping out of the bottom.
Isn't there some weird world where even if GX lost all their games of the weekend,
they could also qualify through that?
I think there's a possibility I'm not gonna I'm not yeah, but like I'm I'm pretty sure the final weekend will determine
Well, I will just objectively to turn everything for fanatic
But for now there is one thing they still need to do which is at the very least win our game
They need they have two games remaining. I think they'd like to win two games
Okay
Fanatic need at least one series win either against heretics or vitality if they win both that's even better
So let's see what they can do as heretics chop it onto the rift as we did mention before they can't really pay for anything
They are eliminated from playoff contention. This is very much about finding what opportunities
They can to work on things they want to focus on approval getting ready for summer
Yeah, and the good news for them is there's a big patch
So what they can do is bring out some cool stuff shivana jungle has been making around
It's not just what you have to make, but I lost to a couple of Shibana junglers in solo
two this morning and therefore it is strong.
There it is, how it works, as also Senna with Blackfyre Torch, touch, touch, touch, that's
the one, and Black Cleaver can apply all five stacks of a single Q, it is, Blackfyre Torch
is a Scytherizer, Deathfyre touch and Black Cleaver can apply all five stacks of Black
Cleaver with a single Q, yeah that's pretty cool, Static Shiv Yorick not so strong
I tried that in the first two as well.
So with Nazus, do I believe?
Nazus' Q should be an on-hit effect, and it's an attack modifier.
Correct.
So you can't stack your Q on multiple means you have to stack it.
Do you believe I told you that before we got into the game?
Yeah, after I'd locked so many, and that was the problem.
As you can tell, as we have a little bit of joy and jolliness,
these games are not too important for heretics.
Obviously, it's very important for them,
because they're going to lock in the seven fiends,
kick things up, they've found a way to calm up Vanus,
Nautilus, Ryze, Orianna and Wite.
Look up Ash, as Ash's build suddenly changed since the last fight.
I can't imagine that it has.
Surely the, with the slow applied to everyone from your passive.
You're not building static shield, Ash.
Oh, now you're against building static shield, everybody.
I'm fine, it flexed you, if one of my pros does it, then inting.
Pretty hard.
Okay, Caitlyn is probably going to be the match up alongside this Bard,
at least that's what we've been seeing a lot,
as the bot lane pairing to go up against the Seraphine.
Ash. I've been hearing about, oh no. No. Yeah, but it's got follow-up there, you have
Bart. Sure, Bart. Oh, it's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. Oh, Ezreal.
We're putting to an Ezreal. Yeah, so we have seen a bit of Ezreal rising up because
of some of the APS gaming changes. Yeah. Also, just a very safe AD carry against
not them but can be played mid these days. I was going to say Israel Seraphine is just the surprise to me
they by picking the Seraphine obviously you deny the Ash Seraphine combo but with Bard available I'm
kind of surprised that they've decided to go for Seraphine plus Ace. I mean it does have good
poke in lane the synergy isn't quite there in the sense that you can't take advantage of the
in the fact of how Seraphine's E works and you can potentially apply the stun with any
other additional CC effects, but Seraphine just has a support, good poking lane, provides
a bit of sustain, I mean late game provides a lot of sustain, and on top of that she
has good CC and teamfights thanks to her ultimate when paired with a Jarvan.
So as far as the comp goes, still perfectly fine from what Fnatic have, I think perhaps
after seeing them knocked on they just decided to pivot, that's probably the logic there.
I just want to say the offset also has been playing along with this hybrid Ezreal that
started to make its rounds in solo queue.
What with the actualizer?
I don't think it's the actualizer one, I'm pretty sure it's the horizon focus one,
where you just get a little bit of AT to back up your builds.
Well the vein is being banned away by Fnatic, which means that they're probably thinking
about a gnar, or at least some sort of tanky top sides, which I feel like when Fnatic
very much in need of wins. They're just going to take the safe approach.
Oh, it makes sense. It makes sense.
It's playing.
Okay, so they just want to get rid of good pairings from Fnatic that pair nicely with the Jarvan.
So LeBlanc and R.E. both fantastic pick champions. They just synergize nicely with Jarvan to
be able to do EQ. So we will see, contrasting the end of the game.
And now Fnatic would win for their final play. And they got rid of the Vayne, making
sure that there wasn't an easy tank killer for heretics to click in the top side, and
Cassante taking away from Tracen as well. No real surprises there, since most players
across the course are at least as big.
So, Besser is probably what Fanatic's thinking.
Even with the nerf, the public execution, Betty. If you can't react in 0.7 seconds,
really, as a pro player. So, I've already made Fanatic have to lifelink their top
player.
The idea of just like, yeah, we've nerfed this by 0.15 seconds.
I mean, average reaction time of these guys is like 0.1 seconds.
No, I get it.
That's just so funny, because if you're at me, you're looking at that like,
bro, I wasn't dodging it before, I'm dodging it now, like, what am I saying?
Rumble and Azir, the likely last picks here for Fnatic, they have a great cop.
You've got equalizer, cataclysm, you've got Azir going in with the Emperor Survive,
your AD carry can stay pretty safe on this Ezreal, the double-tier Horizon Focus
that we're talking about is a possibility, or the...
Did Azir's build change, though?
Because, or is he still back?
I mean, I still think Azir is fine.
He's not though. Like, he's been losing everywhere.
He really, uh, he got tiny buffs, but I think the build is still the same, right?
I think we need to get rid of Rocket Belt, buddy.
Midlaners are overly reliant on their ability to free dodge stuff.
Make low mobility champions low mobility again is what I'm saying.
Just walking at best heritage. Yes.
Right. We've got some dive alongside the Nautir.
You made a great point about Rocket Belt, but this is more important.
Because I'm so tired of seeing Nocturne without any dive, but now, Harry takes up good dive.
Aurora is great follow-up, and Bess is great follow-up.
There are things to go in alongside the Nocturne. Small problem.
He is diving into Azir Ezreal, with the Rumble Jarvan.
Good job, Selfie.
There he... he can try.
What about fans?
He definitely can try.
I think the Fnatic just have a very standard front-to-back teamfight comp with tons of AoE.
really basically if you fight them around dragon in the front to back you're probably gonna lose is it true?
True.
Heretic need to try and find picks play through sides
If they can take advantage of fanatics positioning errors that we sometimes see for them in the mid game
That would be how heretics gain an edge because they would have the numbers advantage ahead to the fight
But this is something that I mean we've just seen a lot of this but pick-com versus team fight-com
Don't keep like the team fight-com.
I'm a little worried for Emberos.
I feel like there could be a lot of pressure from Daglis and Tracin up towards that topside like Rumble if you
He's still going to get pushed into the ambassador, but the ambassador can chase him really well.
Nocturne 6, you've got paranoia there for the follow-up as well.
There's side lanes that you were talking about already.
I think that's where heretics could really be.
Absolutely, they absolutely can.
With Bard, plus ambassador, plus nocturne, you've got great side lane plays.
The pick protection is very huge.
Let's see if they can pull this off as we get into our first game.
Over week 6 of the LEC, as we mentioned earlier, only two weeks remaining of the LEC ready this season.
We'll be back for playoffs. It's our time to head for Fnatic. They're fighting for one of those few remaining playoffs spots.
And if Fnatic lose their series, giant techs will lock themselves into one of those remaining playoffs spots.
So Fnatic will still have a chance to make it through.
The Heretics, a bit of pride on the line. It has been an entire month since they last won a series on the LEC stage.
And that was only against SK back in week one of LEC Spring, all that time ago.
Since then, they've come close. They almost took down Giant X, but haven't really been able to find their form.
They have had a whole week off and time to practice on this patch, which obviously is going to give them a little bit of a bonus.
Tournament Realm does have slightly earlier access to new patches than the rest of us, so it hasn't just been since Wednesday,
but they have been able to try out new things.
Daglus is welcoming into the team, replacing Shea with Rassus. Steps back in and Daglus is going to chase him out with that dusk bringer.
ready as a nocturne aficionado would you suggest he continues this well he's fine
because he has mid prior so the Aurora should always be able to go first the
thing has to be worried about is the the rumble moving the rumble's not moving and
it would be bad for the lane of rumble if if emperors didn't end up moving so
credit to Daglus he holds his ground this is one of the biggest strengths
of our turn the why so why we do see it so often you just can't outskirt
You can't beat him early. His Q gives him...
I always forget this. I believe it's 15 AD now at level 1. Might be 10.
But they've changed it a couple times. He used to be 20, then they nerfed it, and I forget what the actual number is.
But it basically gives you more AD. It's the point at level 1. And so you just win raw stat fights.
They are 15. Yeah, so that's why he's so strong over the game. And his passive also gives him health.
So most enemy jungles do. Jarvan does pretty good
just because of your passive and in that situation their health looked kind of similar because Razzlek actually got two procs for his passive off
But obviously compared to Nocturne you're gonna lose that fire eventually.
Razzlek's cadence is pretty good, but not as good as a Duskwim in order to have movement speed and attack speed
Attack damage you get out of it. Also means the map is pretty split. You can see Razzlek walking into this red side jungle
He's stolen away the red. Now he's gonna take away the trugs
And Dax is not looking for a level 3 gank on M1 who is either allowed or being forced to have this lane pushing to him.
This does surprise me a bit. I feel like that if we're going to split the map, isolating your Caitlyn isn't really the best strat, or at least it never used to be.
Back in the day you tried to spot the map to focus, giving your Caitlyn an advantage in the bot lane 2 vs 2.
But instead they're trying to give it a little bit more freedom for Trace and up towards the top side.
We'll see how things pan out as the game continues because here in the other game upset with a very small lead same for tracing up towards the top side
Crabs naturally going to be exchanged across the rift razzok obviously a little bit slow on his clear
Not only because Jarvan is a little bit slower than Nocturne, but also because he was much late to clear that first camp so
Dag the slide. I think he's gonna use the prowl for anything good poke continues to come out for the Pananak bot lane
Yeah, that's the problem playing to Ezreal and Seraphine is if you ever out of position not behind your minion wave first
So you're going to need to beat drop, which does a lot of damage
although it does cost a lot of mana on the Seraphine.
But then also you have the Mystic Shot, so you can Arcane Shift coming forward as well
because you don't really have any easy CC from the Caitlyn Bard.
Like a Cosmic Binding will get us slow, and then maybe you can put a trap up behind him,
but Upset still has the Clems, so even if you do slow him and he realizes he's slided out of position,
he can just cleanse and walk away from you.
Not having something like a Nordless Hook means he can really Arcane Shift with Impunity in that bottom lane.
Daaglas and Semen getting the push through mid are going to look for a bit of an invade.
Ladi is going to TP back in here after Semen has already used his teleport.
Razzle tries to steal away, doesn't manage to get any of the women is forced away from his razorbeaks.
So, nice advantage game for Daaglas.
Top camp, sorry, bot camp is for Fnatic, still available and of course the crowd hasn't yet been secured.
So Daaglas just doing what he needs to do on the off-tank, just working very well with Semen,
utilizing that mid-pryo, jungle and mid working together nicely,
keeping that topside isolated to prevent Emperos from getting any assistance from his jungler.
He's doing pretty well on the lane so far though.
I think Rumble vs. Embesa fairly even though the game.
Razor might want to fight the Krugs.
There's a TK coming out from Emperos and they're a pink seal already.
Razor's coming across, we'll be spotted on that vision.
With Emperos being first to the top lane, you will be able to help four Staglists out of the jungle.
Isn't going to chase him any further, Razor just wanted to make sure he gets his Krugs.
And it's a nice little movement there from Fnatic, realizing they could pincer on the Nocturne.
It's a bit awkward now though for Razzark, because he's on the top side, his blue buff is still alive, he hasn't claimed that yet.
He now has to path all the way to bot to secure that blue.
But I mean, I will say credit to him, because it makes a lot of sense, oh actually his interest is contesting the next Raptors.
That does make a ton of sense. That is trying to push this wave in quickly.
Bot lane now has pro, keep your eyes on Lofspur as he starts to rotate over.
Razor trying to get in here. I think he's gonna back away from this one pretty sharpish.
That's Smythe though.
And Dagwis did not. His just came off cooldown. Good Smythe away from Razor.
And she needs to equalize the Razor Beaks.
Gonna start up the dragon as well.
Well he does have Bot Pryo.
This Smythe's gonna be back up in time to take this rake.
I mean assuming it's not contested, yeah.
I guess the advantage of these Relying on right now is just that Bot lane can't rotate down.
down. You don't have to be a little worried because Saren has ult, but I guess look at Saren's HP. That's
the biggest thing. The fact that the midlaner doesn't have that HP available to him in a
contest. But against Gusion, no flash out from Emperos as he does go into the danger zone, about
to overheap. Saren coming across as well, flashes forward between worlds. Emperos,
and will flash away from the weirding. Well, flash for flash, go there. Two ultimates
from Tracin and Saren. The equalized stand for Emperos will clear out the wave
before any more damage can be done.
Empiros, very patient, very smart with how he approached that.
The all-in from Tracin, he didn't panic, he didn't early flash,
he instead waited for Seren to arrive,
and then Empiros just very nicely walks away to safety
and gets the whole wave utilizing his ultimate as well.
So, a lot of advantage gained there for Natik.
Not only did Vladdy get the push in mid, secured himself a plate,
Bot was able to hold the push along with securing the dragon,
and Empiros gets away with his life.
So the cross map fails for heretics and they're losing everything across the board
And sevens can be that's like that was going to be miles behind when it comes to XP as well
You can see no camps available to him
Razzwick just took his blue and now is going to get that Bonsai skill of camps
So Razzwick is going to be six pretty soon as ice is low underneath this tower and dad was doesn't he's homeless
He's got nowhere to go. No camps to pick up that knocked him paranoia is going to be incredibly delayed
I mean what more have to get it for me. You're right
Yeah, but where's the camp to get, he might try and steal some XB, oh Razzle get EQ over the wall, throw the ult down, has the barrier
Barrier and Flash, and feel available for way, there's the barrier, very early from Ice and he's just dead where he stands
Upstate tanks a couple of tower shots, Houston's out, lost for Flash, he's away from the fear
And Razzle should be able to walk away from this one as well, good cataclysm from him as Daglas tried to get in on the action but couldn't get them in time
Fanatic, off to the races in game one
This just stays way too long in the bot lane, 2 vs 2.
He's constantly getting hit by the poke from Upset and Loss, but the decision making is
extremely easy for Razorg.
An early barrier comes through from an extremely early barrier, which makes it even easier.
Good heal comes through from Loss, well, top is AD carry, get away to safety.
Upset does use the arcane shift, doesn't have to commit the flash, and everything
looking good for Fnatic here near the game.
A really nice start for them. Gold leads in every single lane, you know, chunks, sizeable chunks in Jungle, Mid and bot lane.
Ladi's just being able to constantly farm up this wave, get it pushed in, we did see Saren roaming up towards the top side as well,
which is giving Ladi time to get that 13 CF advantage.
Emperor's trying to trade here with Tracin. Razork flying across the wall and he does also have the flash.
Might just be covering to make sure that Emperor doesn't get paranoid.
So that does have that level 6 now. The grub is going to be started by Fnatic. No response from either of the supports as of yet.
And you have a triple ult combo with your heretics. You could look for a play, but they're deciding against it. Don't want to take the fight as of yet.
Well, things are already starting to look dire for heretics. I fear that with the comp that Fnatic have, they're going to be nicely set up to basically just say, hey, dragon's alive, shall we fight?
fight and then heritage is going to be like not really but I guess we'll fight
anyway I mean in 15 minutes they have to until that point have a little bit of
time yeah so they're best play right now so just look for picks no flash on
last bar that would be one place that I would start looking I mean and cross to
on the number doesn't have the flash yeah so you've got lanes that you can
play through Tracin has alt way doesn't have all yet but once it gets six
they do they're a gang so the non-difficult can make we just need to
see how it takes to making those blights.
You're going to see a little bit of a contest
on towards that topside scout of crab.
Tracen has just back-scrub himself
a core field in the pickaxe.
Doesn't want that eclipse as soon as possible
to be able to effectively trade into the rumble.
As soon as you get the eclipse, you have your repudiation shield
and you have the eclipse shield, which
means even if rumble is hitting you with harpoons
and with the flame spitter, you
can kind of stick on top of him
from a lot longer than previously.
Staren's going to be help pushing out the midway by way.
Still sitting at that level five
It's either a couple of chimes or a couple of minions to get him up towards six and you can actually see
Daglus after taking that topside Skirtle has snuck in
Doesn't want to go for the full power nor ever goes through it anyway, and that was
Okay, Betty as the Nocturne play
What the hell was that
Dodges beyond cool and the true shopperage and now razzle is gonna show you this is how you execute a gank
He's setting up. He's done this once before. He's looking to make it two for two.
The TP comes in and okay, and he gets the TP out.
Ten for fate though. Snap trap. Do you not have a trap?
I didn't have one between. Wells goes seven, last one goes down.
Okay, that's not how you execute a dive either, Betty.
A comedy reference? That's what we'll go with.
Drive many thoughts. Give me a second to articulate them.
I think that there are opportunities for growth. I think that feedback should be shared for
both sides.
Only if there are receptions of feedback right now.
Absolutely.
It might not be...
This is not the MCK. We can't have the coaches calling in mid-game.
That's true. That's true.
So, the top gank approaches.
Yeah, it was terrible.
There was no coordination between top and jungle and they found nothing.
lane bot lane they still found a kill and I think that was just a good response
in tactics the TPU is good but now it's like setting up for a fight alties I mean
not available for anything don't have any so the capitalism and emperors divided
they will be watching fanatic slayer brain that cool not productive so there
we are yeah good for fanatic overall actually lost but died but they did get
the teleport out of seven and because of that bloody was able to get some free
time of the tower in the middle and it's already down to two plates. They also know Paranoia
was off cooldown for the last 120 seconds because Gaggle's used the top side so it's
about to come back up, but Empress's Flash has also returned off its brief array of unavailability.
Yeah. The goal difference doesn't look that big, but it is getting a little dire for
heretics already. They can still come back because again the goal difference is not
That big, a glimpse of items, that's the thing you need to keep your eyes on.
You can see both midlaners completed their first item, there's a small jungle advantage
because Razzle, I mean with that first blood, has been able to complete the
sunlit sky already, and literally Andrew is not quite finished yet for
Emperor's, but as I said, he finishes the item just now. So, quick rotations
now are going to come through for Fnatic. So, he's like, in terms of power,
in terms of raw power from their players, like they are still capable of
fighting against Fnatic, but it's very much more about the map state and the way that the
game is going. The things are looking a little bit more bleak for heretics, simply because
we're getting closer to dragons. The fact that Fnatic already has two means that heretics
will feel compelled to fight for the third one, and the way that you do that with heretics'
composition is you basically 30 seconds before dragon, you try to attack them in the set-up,
so rather than actually fighting them at the dragon, you attack them before they
even get to the dragon, you create the numbers and then it becomes very difficult
for Fnatic to really contest. So for example, Rumble now on the bot side of the map,
Drag has obviously 3 minutes away, but maybe this could be a good angle to consider bringing
way down, looking for a trap, finding a pick, and then you use that in order to then contest
the objective, because if they do just play the straight front to back, Fnatic just
have so many advantages with the comp that they've drafted.
Yeah, right now you're sitting at item parity across most rocks. Everyone has one complete
item and a couple of components. Upset, I will say, is very far ahead, 1.3k gold,
Probably because he's completed his quest and because he had a cut.
Yes.
So he gets all of that extra gold.
Ice has also completed his quest right now, has that Hexhaustix, but I expect Ezreal Upset
to go Manamune next.
And then often at the moment we are seeing another tier into a Seraphs with a Horizon
Focus on top of that, or the actualizer that we were talking about in the draft.
So Upset will be doing a lot of damage in this game.
Ezreal is scaling incredibly well on the current patch.
Yeah, I mean, Ezreal already did damage, so I'm glad that he does more.
Oh, yeah, that's a good thing about it is though. It's it's real has and I know this is gonna sound weird
Yeah, he has the unique problem and I'll wait to see if that this is called out before I talk more about it
found down paranoia out and
It's just a disengager. That's exactly what all medic want tend to fate the diagnosis walking the other way
lots of flashes out and
I think in the end this is gonna leave us here the first step thought a bit unnecessary
I think he thought he was going to get trapped probably and then he was like, oh, I don't want to get trapped. Yeah
That's the logic. I'm gonna die. It doesn't like to cut things back. You know, it's possible. Yeah
Anyway, Ezreal has the Yumi problem, which is pro players are so much better at it than everyone else
Right and so it has to be nerve to position where either does no damage or it does way too much damage in pro players hands
As upset is showing us right here on a buff it buff it by 2% ice would have died
Yeah, that was a really nice play from Razzle.
Ult into EQ, connects the EQ onto two, both Ice and Danglis, and by forcing the Caitlyn
away, they also unlock this mid-toward.
So Fnatic just snowballing this game right now, just finding advantage after advantage.
Yeah, and I'm really curious to see what direction of sight goes with this build.
Obviously, new patch, new itemization, pros have their own preferences as to the
the order of items so we'll see what direction it ends up going.
Alti used, doesn't connect. There's the nerf right there.
A 0.15 second difference, allowing for Ampros to react, get away to safety.
But again, that side lane pipe, this timing would have been quite promising
if they'd been able to find the pick.
Yeah, always being able to headhive.
But now, no, they didn't even need a paranoid in this situation.
I think there's still a world where they can kill through a tower dock.
Magus has not proven to me that that would happen in this game.
I'm just saying, on paper does the world look like that could have happened.
The problem now is they won't have Tracin's ult for the dragon, which is spawning in 30 seconds.
They weren't able to find a pick. In fact, Mpros was able to go back to base, pick up some components,
has the TP available, ready to join at a moment's notice, ready for this third dragon.
Fnatic secured the mid tower, allowing them to guarantee that mid push.
And... heretics under vision control over the borrower gun.
There are no dboards available to them.
So, now they have to try and fight this, which I don't think, yeah, Nocturnus going top lane, he is not going to bother trying to fight this.
I have a moment.
Yeah.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. What's that, Medic?
Well, it's the new item alarmed.
Gluttonous greaves have been built, and I pressed the button to show it, and my computer isn't showing it.
There we are! Look at that!
Upset has Gluttonous greaves as new boots that have been introduced on this patch.
They give you Omni-Vamp and then up to six take downs, get you six percent more Omni-Vamp.
Tier 3 Immortal Path doesn't matter in this game because it's not either in mid, but it's really strong if you build it in mid lane.
This Tracing is getting caught out, flashes away from the Embers divide.
The return is out as well from Razor because they look to go between the turrets here.
Wade caught out in the terrorism and he can't get out with a magical journey.
He flies down, Tracing trying to walk his way out and will be able to survive.
Can I take the drake, take the blind tower, take a kill and take a 3K goal for that?
Got it. Can I look very proactive here?
It gave him one of his best to 3.
securing another tower, putting themselves on soul points.
Paratix do cross map, they get a tower for themselves in the top lane, but none of the early ganks have been successful from Daeglas.
They've not really been able to contest any objectives, no grubs, no dragons, no heralds.
They're going to chase. TP in, Saren looking for the weird, impoundery available for Daeglas as well as they go for the chase
and they get close enough between worlds that goes Saren.
Great public execution over the wall at 7.
We'll get a kill on the board for Amateurx on the chase.
The power lawyer from Daglas
chased Vanity out towards the topside.
Won't be able to steal away the blue.
I just need to take the blast cone out to safety.
And yeah, he's just gonna do that.
Vladi did have flash available.
I guess he decided to hold it because of one kill.
Do you think it was a terrain gap?
Because I didn't really see the public execution.
I mean, that's fair.
He may not have just seen it, so he couldn't react.
and a lag on the way TP behind on course going to land on towards the back line
Oscar drops a beat and Tracing don't want to party to that BPM now back away so
quite the commitment there from Razork the initially engaged looked promising
but they quite quickly decided actually we don't have the damage to
went out on this fight the locket I think being the big health discrepancy
obviously I know it gives a shield but the kind of temporary alpha is what I
Yeah, exactly. So we'll look back at the bot lane play and so Ladi, it looks like he takes no damage
That's the empowered mode of drugs for you. He's getting lower, but he feels right now, I don't need to flash
You can tell that he just doesn't see it. So he doesn't react, he doesn't flash
Not the end of the world, it is just one kill. Seren though right now kind of the PowerPoint for heretics
In how, I mean, he's getting close towards the Shadowflame
So he's in a really good spot, but I've said continuing to ramp up two items complete
I thought three items because they're we call boots on an item gluttonous green yes, but on an item in our head
So they were when you're talking about full build so I thought six items right, but now that's seven items ready carries
Ready you look very confused right now. Yeah, actually now that I think about it honest boots supposed to go into the slot
I'm not supposed to see you. Yeah, they are very
Yes
That may be an overlay but that I mean it has to be right because in my head I was
in this one I just kind of went through the logic of my head normally I say oh
hang on public execution there for the follow-up
and they won't take him down yet. He manages to walk out!
Right, he goes in, I set kills, Douglas,
Trace ensures to follow as Fanatic continues to collapse.
Razlux, then with cosmic binding,
the ice doesn't have the damage, Flash on him is enough!
Jarvan, the fourth will fall,
and Fanatic lose their jungler,
but for it they get two kills.
Ends up being a two for one, and it's great
that I ended up getting that kill onto Razluk,
because if he hadn't,
A Baron would have been on the cards for Fnatic, so a last-ditch effort saves the play for Heretics as much as they can.
But still, another Skirmish won by Fnatic and Lospur showing the healing and shielding power that this Seraphine can provide.
So, Razzle tries to contest the Blue buff. A quick reaction from Heretics. The damage looks good.
The ulti comes through, but then healing, healing. The Echoes of Helium doing great work as well.
The bottle on the bank line limits some of the follow-up damage, and then Ice glue what he can.
The binding from Wei connects Ontorazo, binding into a wall under the flash from Ice.
That alternate connected onto Ice, that would have been some serious damage from Upset, so forced the flash out from him.
But Ice doing his best to keep politics alive in this game.
We just see seven items for Upset. It's two to the cross.
Well, you're right.
He has half a Scrier's bloom right now in a vision score of two.
Yeah.
I was wondering what would happen.
I mean, it was just...
My mind is sitting there being like,
it's like, oh, I'm surprised normally we don't consider boots in Adam and I was like,
wait, that's because AD carries never have boots.
I mean, they do, obviously. They just go in a special slot.
So there we are.
Bit of a...
I'm assuming this is a visual vibe.
I'm assuming game.
I mean, you have...
Yes.
How else would it work?
I just, I've got to say it for the record, you know what I mean?
Now, Sol!
It's up in six seconds.
I think heretics won't win this fight.
Based on what I see on paper at least.
Let's see if they can prove me wrong.
I...
I will align with you, but for the bit, for the entertainment, I'm fully on heretics.
There we go.
They're 100% going to be able to win this fight.
Daggles looking for that paranoia angle.
10 for Faye, only on to Bladdy, Paranoia coming out, 7 jumps into the back of the bit, public
execution short, on connecting, Daglus goes in, they're trying to kill a fragile, and they
manage to do it! Hematix coming up jumps in, they kill off the Drake, they stop the soul,
Isis of Mamoire, he's in the middle of the pit, and then pilt over Peacemaco, sorry,
a 90 caliber net, will get him out. Hematix, genius!
Yeah, nice for Aubrey.
And 3rd is Betty Costa-Coste, fantastic, it works out well for them.
beautiful robbery comes through from heretics the use of an alternate I
think like I'm this is how I think you should be using not to you throw the
ultimate down seren uses the invisibility to find a really good angle
gets into the pit so just keep your eyes on seren that's going to be over the
wall so the part of it in a ways of distraction seren comes in huge ultimate
connects it onto to really melts the front line and rattle gets one shot
before he has an opportunity to disengage from the fight then with
jungle of God, there's no smite available, and then heretic draw, no no we can't keep the extended fight going, let's just take our
prize and get out of here, and so they stop fnatic from getting this hold, they get a nice kill,
another one onto serin, and that one shot potential continues to get stronger, so while
played by heretic, they look a little dire at the start, but they end up making it work.
And every fnatic hard, hearts, everything wrong, dude, me words are hard today buddy,
every fnatic fan's heart is now in their mouth, because they've seen this before,
They've seen Fnatic get big leads and lose the game.
They still shouldn't lose this game.
They are very much in the driving seat.
That's true.
Do they have their license though?
That's a great question.
Are they driving at night?
Are the roads slippy with ice?
Is it raining?
Is it raining?
Ice, clever mention.
Thank you.
Ice is in fact on the road.
Two and a half items.
And his boots have gone into their slot.
That's true.
That's not the Leo voice.
Just like, okay.
just makes you realize it's a lie
I know it's a little formula
It's when we get to the 8th item
that's when we have to be concerned
It's the wards
I mean they would
I mean it's just a yeah
He needs a slot for the ward
No you're correct
He doesn't need that slot
He doesn't need to just gain a slot
It's not a support player
That's correct
Now
Let's lock back in
I'm locked
Okay
Got to think about what happens next
Because the truth is farming is broken
Yeah for the next two and a half minutes
I think it's farming
Fnatic one top tower, heretics one bot tower, so it's probably just a cross-matt, well there's objective number one for Fnatic secured
And then objective number two in the bot lane
Let's look at Tracin, oh
Okay
Not quite
Yeah, I mean, Emberos was scared about a dive and then when the wave thins out, which is not on a scale
Oh, equal, I think that's good, so he's buying a lot of time
Not on a can of wave, but it's time to time
Yeah, so this is a tempo advantage
So you can cheat tempo because normally you would have to recall but because he cleared out the whole wave
He still has to recall.
Yeah, no, obviously he does, but heretics now can't do anything.
So that's what I mean by...
You basically yoink the tempo away from heretics, otherwise they would have had it.
And if we could represent this tempo with some sort of small circular disc, like a token...
No, stop it.
That would make it so much easier for me to understand.
But it might.
But...
You know you're making me angry.
You do know that, right?
I've learned from Jack, man.
I'm washing my macabre too much, so learning more about what pushes your buttons is razzled, pushes it onto 7 who trade ultimates ultimates to get away.
There is a bar in possibility, we talked about just waiting for the next drake. 7 has TP, so Fnatic I think we're just going to set it on C.
Fnatic just got 2 ults for 1, which is a pretty great deal, that is a great deal.
So I think they can definitely stop this, because all of Heretic's tools, they're in the box, they're unavailable.
Yeah, but we've also seen fanatic start-barons before
He tried to get that was be used as the shrouded darkness
Razzle got the backline over the flash, flag and drag onto ice
Ice will be taken out, Vladdy killed off as well, fourth against four now
As Tracin's caught out with another flag and drag, Razzle has been on the money
Laying down his standard in this game, has upset Chase's seven out of the jungle
Nice damage from Sarin but it's not going to be enough, Upset is hungry for more, connects the queue.
That's all. Two shot. Equalizer. Still no, it's Flash away from Sarin, Upset.
Flash is for it! Hit the mystic shot!
I thought he'd give up after not being able to connect the last couple but he still finds it.
And while he does, his team is doing the ban and much safer this time.
The possibility of a contest from Heretic and Fanatic now have every tool in their tool gets to close out the game.
They need to get back to base quickly though, because the Dragon spawned in 22nd.
Heretic will be able to get position on the Dragon first.
You can already see Daegler's back up on the map.
So Fanatic eager to get ready to contest this next objective.
We look back at the play and it's Fanatic getting the TP out early, committing to the fight.
Tracin is very separated from the team right now.
Good spell shield comes through from the bottom to prevent the ulti from connecting.
Ice sensor traded mid laner for his own life, which is where
heretics then lose all of their damage.
Seren can only do so much, he's got a lot of burst, but that only singles down a
one member of Fnatic and it's not quite enough so
Fnatic clean up the fight, they get another kill and now they're back on the dragon.
And the fate from Waze.
Start this off, but it doesn't catch on to the dragon.
And Daglas dives in with Harnon and Tracer looking for flag, but Daglas is with dead.
Without his teammates applying for where he finds, there's no way out of Saren.
Dodges back towards the blue buff, no escape for him.
Either another equalizer from Fnatic from Empyros
who secured the fight win for them.
They have the soul, they have the Baron for the next two minutes,
and Heretic's only have two players left.
Heretic's doing what they can to stay alive in this game.
An ambitious steal attempted by Daglas does not work out.
And with three dead, Fnatic now set their sights on the base of Heretics.
So little that Heretics can do in this situation.
You've got a three item ice, but Razzle's here once again.
He has been on point with his flimsy click.
Flag and drag, the encore are tracing.
Doesn't want to stay for the show.
He flashes out of the cataclysm, but now Fnatic have open avenues in three different lanes.
Upstats going to go down towards but no one from Heretics can really get on top of him without that paranoia up.
Hazel been lost by here to help out their buddy pushing this bot side in hip and process pushing in top
Landy is in mid
Razzle cuz fight I just looking to close this one out
They won't be able to do it quite up this push unless heretics overstepped
But with the Baron buff they're gonna take all of the base of heretics
Yeah, I looks like they're doing it tutorial style heretics. Do you start?
I didn't do this in the tutorial. Are you just walk down one leg?
While clearly you did it incorrectly, you'll have to do the tutorial once again, you'll have to do it again.
But they're not going to take every single member, sorry, every component.
Ooh, as an ultimate comes through from Daglus.
Alnoyer from Daglus, goes into the first target.
Hazel jumps away, temper faked between worlds as well.
But Upstair still untouched on that backline and he is not allowing heretics to let him get away with it.
Upstair takes the kill away.
And Ice can only take a lemper off as he walks back towards the mid lane and with Eritrex over a stepping like that
perhaps Fnatic can see the Nexus in their eyes and equalizer not really going to catch up too many people
Razzle gives the low down to a third HP for the first Nexus tower is lower. It's on the floor
Dandruff's trying to step up but without paranoia can't really do too much more.
Emperor flashes straight into a tower. That's gonna hurt
But with a soft watch and a flame spitter
He will be able to kill R5's dives in the 2-4 hex, 7 the last one standing, another one 4 to make sure they clean it out.
Glad he gets the triple, their nexus falls, it's Fnatic taking the win some 30 minutes.
While playing their bike, Fnatic, I mean, overall from start to finish they controlled the game well, they found good ganks,
Razor very effective at punishing their bot lane 2 vs 2, and Fnatic fleet the series 1 to 0,
Make sure you don't go anywhere because this series continues right after this
Brother, brother, let me tie it.
Wait, brother, let us break this instead.
Brother.
Have a break have a KitKat
What is this brother perfection
Welcome to my shop. You need the right build
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, oh, that's not howling, but it was.
Did you sit there and see, trophy?
Okay, even closer.
Feel the wind down on my shoulder, it's rich
Rules I'm meant to break, but the crowd is swollen
Funny all I have, cause I let all of us breathe
Taking over, let's welcome down this world

The way I have to go get it together whatever the weather and copy that tribulation to the
Because I hit it extremely loud
He goes in, accept his debris, Trace ensures the follow-up as Fnatic continues to glance Razzok's zone with Godfrey binding, but Ice doesn't have the damage. Flash Auto is enough!
Hello everyone, welcome back to the LEC when Fnatic takes a dominant game one with against
Team Heretics and wanted to see some good from Fnatic when it came to mid game.
So we brought up this clip, if production can play for me right now, what's happening
is that we have Vladdy in the top lane over here we're looking to be going for
this Drake setup soon so if you can roll it out right now perfect Vladdy finds
himself on the weak side he's about to push and he realizes Drake is coming up
we need to stop these lanes and Piros figures out the same thing now
laystop will be coming tempo usage will be very important here because Vladdy
is going both into the strong side and Piros is going to the top lane
And if we pause it right now
This is what I want to show. This wave will be for team helipads
This is where they want to be playing aggressively. Noxion looks to be crossing into here
Just in case there is a cross-map and what Vlad he wants to do, he wants to push this lane and secure trial
Let's roll the clip out as we go
The push is happening and Piros is on the top side and he realizes this is my weak side
I need to be able to go for this drake
I need to defend the weak side and what he's gonna do is he's gonna blast open this TP right here weak side has been defended
Nocturne is on the top side. He finds nothing and
Let's look at it again pause
This is where they've been close to perfect for a fanatic. They defended their weak side perfectly
Well, if we can look over here, there's just no one on the top side of the map is completely open
There's no fight happening
But what happened here is that this wave was extremely important for Fnatic.
If they managed to keep this wave alive, they would be having such a strong cross map over here.
weak side defended, strong side completely unleashed. Let's roll the clip.
What happens is that it's not perfect, but it doesn't need to be perfect.
It needs to be good, because good enough is what Fnatic has been needing for this whole split.
Bartolti comes in, they defend the tower, but Fnatic is here.
Four man strong, absolutely strong on the midway, he's about to rotate over here, weak side has been defended, first tower is secured on the bot lane and that was just good enough, because that's what Fnatic needed, good enough.
But I do think there was plenty of plays from Fnatic throughout that game that were really solid, but it came towards the macro, right?
Like, consistently they were shifting into positions, they had a heritage, they were moving around with Bo Lospin upset to make sure they could play through the strong hazard, they had like a 1.3g gold lead of 14.
It really felt like Fnatic had a much better grasp of how they wanted to play, even if there was a couple of missteps.
Exactly, that's why I stress so much the good enough part.
Because when you're a team that you're at the bottom of the standing end, there's so many holes in your game play.
You went from a place where you barely knew how to move around the map in the mid-game, right?
You can't expect to just go to this perfect level.
Good enough is realistically what you need to do to get to become a better team,
to start contending for these top spots.
because they have a game today and if they win the series they also have a game later in the week
and this is a great stepping stone for them. And these are most wins for them. Again, it's not
only on them but they need windows to stay alive in the race for playoffs and we've talked about
the girl. What was the bad here? Not that much maybe some oopsies in the mid game but
I see a lot of the bad in the backstage but you can go away. Yeah I did get it was a dragon
fight for me where I got a little nervous for Fnatic because we were kind of talking back
backstage code. Hey, this is cool. They're really playing well around it. This fight was not it.
After you end up getting the ultimate on for his body with the tempered fate, they just kind of fall
apart. Tracing does a good job of flashing into the backline to absorb a lot of the damage.
But with Saren been able to sneak in, being completely unmarked, and also being able to
need to be focused on Razor, can steal the dragon, I thought this might have been that
turning point where heretics were able to find that success. And I think this is where you're
kind of seeing some of those missteps grow into bigger upsets. When you end up finding these
moments where dragons are lost, teamfights aren't going your way, and you just need that
better setup for Fnatic to make sure they consistently can close at this point.
Exactly, because realistically what was the situation there?
It was 4-3, full position for Fnatic, about 4k gold up, that should be the easy win teamfight,
right?
Because if you want to contend, those are the ones you need to win.
And we've seen a lot from Fnatic where they get to these positions and they just
seem to not really understand exactly how they need to navigate the aura from the
flank and everything.
So it was a little bit rough.
It was a little bit rough, but it wasn't enough, especially because of how Razork set
up things in the early game and how we've been talking about Vladimir, we've been talking
about upsets.
I don't feel like we've been giving his flowers to Razork enough lately because this game
was a testament of what happens, especially in the early game.
He was the one saying that they've polished their early game in spring and I feel like
he's been doing a lot of heavy lifting in there.
He's the silent hero over here because not a lot of people would remember that
He's the one who got invaded in the early game.
He's the one who got forced off of his Raptors
and to still find the small windows that you have to cross over
to invade the Nocturne that should be in control of the game
and then to impact bot lane over and over again,
keep invading the respawns, secure those rakes.
He's been the silent hero,
but he's just one of those things that goes under the radar
when it comes to these small details.
Yeah, no, his pathing this game was sick.
The fact like, as you say, got invaded,
dropped BlueBull to secure his own croaks,
make sure that he's catching that respawn
and then being able to make those plays on bot like Razor has been a beast.
And especially when so much of the conversation last year goes,
Humilite Razor, Humilite Razor, these are the engines, these are the playmakers,
these are the people we have to look for.
It feels like he's kind of lost his spark, but it hasn't really been there.
It feels like these last two weeks we're getting that Razor back,
like, who was in conversation for the best jungler in the LEC.
And they need to give that fire going, especially here in game two,
against Team Heretics. We've seen the good, we've seen the bad.
We haven't seen the ugly yet and fanatic France can rejoice about this one. Let's see what happens next
I think we should stand up. I don't understand why we're sitting back
Okay, we're trying something that we said and this is weird. Let's eat it. Does it look and feel awkward yet?
Don't really let us like if I kind of have
It's just a bit of an orange chair. I'm not gonna lie. I don't know how the bow and casters do it
Well, you can do it if you're like leaning on the desk and it also like I'm doing nothing and I'm swiddling like I just passively turn anyway
That's enough of us
Anyway, hello
Right, we're getting ready for game two
Looking to bounce back in this best of three fanatic very much eager to get another series win on the board because if they get
To three wins then we get some shenanigans happening only if every other team lose. Yeah, but potentially some shenanigans
If Fnatic wants a shenanigan at all, this split, really they need to win both their series.
Correct.
But they have to win at least one.
Yeah.
Otherwise all shenanigans are off the table.
That's true.
They've been put in the bin, they've been picked up by the garbage collectors, put it in the trash pile.
And also...
Maybe burnt.
Fnatic wants to win with 2-0s as well.
Oh yeah, 100%.
That's a pretty big deal.
100%.
Yeah, it just helps if you just win more.
Yeah, it's like our win-loss percentage is a tie-breaker.
Yeah.
So having lots of losses, like for now to count, is not good, so the more wins you can get, the better it is.
Absolutely. So let's see how things change as we jump into game 2. Ryze likely will be the final man here alongside the Varus and the Nautilus, meanwhile Vi, Orianna, I think Pantheon is still very good.
Don't think that we'll end up seeing it banned, though Karma does in fact make more sense. Even with the Ezreal gone, there are plenty of things you can pair alongside it.
divide here and this is solar cube days and once again five AP's in the
shower jungle that I've only heard about it top of a little blades mid AP
shinshaw I think is really with saddichess really really sad shit yeah
because you get healing afforded I see and that's it that's the whole build
you just wave beer and heal you also kill people do you yeah because you can
also you can go like that's done and then you never die and then you just
stack your conqueror and you just auto-attack people to that's great
Anyway Lulu makes more sense. Yeah
We'll see what heretics decide to answer. So we still have things like the inala available Lulu you know
I go Lucian milio into this. Yeah, we have seen Korean 80 carries
Especially in the LEC start winning on the Lucian as nice as a Korean 80 cat
That's also true for I just think it's just really strong
Like so I would say that in the in the Lucian lane based on what I've seen
It's like even even even even and then all of a sudden very
I don't even think it's first item. I would just say that once it gets like a component
Normal Zinjam might also just be happening. It's much more likely it's normal, but I came in. I was like big patch
I will say we saw one new thing
Of course we can get new Dorons. The new Dorons are actively bad. I thought that the attack speed one isn't too bad
It's not too bad, but if anyone ever trades with you in lane, you just don't have health.
You have the same amount of...
Omni-Bam!
The same amount of Omni-Bam is a Doveman's Blade, Betty!
It's the same amount!
Yeah, but it's 400, and if you don't buy pots, then you can buy your next item faster.
Why are you tempted to lose?
Assume that I'm going to play poorly and need to use my pots.
No, you're going to assume you're not going to play poorly.
You're actually going to play perfectly and not need a pot.
Because then you get the extra 100 gold, and your next item is going to be faster than the pot.
Yes, exactly.
Ah, genius.
Exactly.
Okay.
Oh yeah, so you know Lulu, no surprises there, he's gonna get picked up and we'll see where Fnatic go.
I have been informed Ice has only played Lucian once in the LEC, it was in Spring vs G2 in 2024 and he won that game.
So, that's promising.
Yeah, you know, so a positive note. Zahen blocks in for Fnatic and Nami taken for Heretics.
Yeah, Lucian Nami is like the old score combo because it was what, Imperial Mande plus Electric Q
And it was the was the nominee the value execute. Yeah. Yeah
Lucian just there was an older school. Can you remember it? No, which important. That was the originator true
That was the original before they changed Lucian's passive. So it didn't have to work off
Parts easy or CC I made it if he's healed or shielded now. He gets the extra bumps. Oh
That's why we see like Lucian Lillio and
Sure sure sure sure.
So, Bans, Akali in vain, taking away.
Fnatic's still going for the,
hey please don't just kill Anthros on the feed strategy
of getting rid of that Bane.
He had a good game one.
So, solid overall.
We'll see where the Zahen goes.
Kind of cause we play jungle.
I kinda expect that's where we'll go,
but it can also be flexed towards the top lane.
I'm trying to think about what the Akali Bans means.
What are they thinking?
Are they worried about
I'm going to Orianna's Bands.
My brain is blanking on, I feel like some of the most obvious mid lane picks ever.
Give me a second.
Do you want me to talk about what you think?
They want Victor blind maybe?
It's possible.
Maybe they want, there's no way they want Mal.
Aurora's already gone. Aziz is already gone.
Yeah, they're probably going to kind of surprise me.
I guess they're just worried about that a colleague just might generically be good to you.
Is there ever a threat to the Karli top?
Oh, they're one male blind. Okay, that's why.
I would summon one of his most played, now.
Aurora just rose up to be his most played, but in second place they have the
Karli, the male of the Le Bonc and the Azir.
I'm surprised to see it. I mean, a Karli is one of the better picks into it.
I think Victor's fine, though.
Also a ladded classic.
The problem is you are running into a small...
I thought Fnatic might be running into a range problem, but they're probably fine, they're engaged just kind of sucks
They're very reliant on Epidose flying a flank
So I think that Fnatic don't have the easiest time of actually closing the gap against them now
And the heretics I think have a decent amount of poke. People really underestimate like okay
So only the best solutions can do this, but it's that whole Lucian on a mid wave. Oh, you try to farm a dash in
take
60% of your HP
Yeah, stuff like that right so I think that Lucian can do a lot of poke
Into no, yeah, but I I don't think it's good in the
Actually has nothing to do with leader I just think that Irelia as a champ is very difficult to play especially into Lulu
I feel like
You know you think you're getting a polymorph it's a positive
But you know your dash can just be interrupted and then it's just on cooldown, but who's interrupting a baby
With a polymorph
But it malice got them all so low that they have to use water to it anyway, okay, but then what about Victor W?
You raise a good point
Also, it's W's use on the she's actually this happened in our flex. You gave I was I got you
out of my cube by his hand like I was mid-dash you're going I'm not gonna say
so really is a perfect pick no again really good to know I'm very very good
into not like if you have a really good landing phase that can be enough but a
couple of ganks could very well just make it ready it's like miserable so
Irelia has a 50% remaining in the LEC this month, I guess.
Just kidding, they were 2,7 and 5, but still won the game.
And that was into a Wukong, a Rhymes, a Nami who can interupt you with a bubble.
Maybe there's a new tech on the patch that I just don't know.
Oh, Static Shiburellia!
I'm looking forward to it, I like it when your brain is thinking.
Get them all low enough that your blade's switched to low.
Okay, so a quick reset on where we are in terms of stakes. Fnatic don't have to win this series
But it's very good if they win this series the
Percentage of scenarios in which they qualify for playoffs jumps a dramatic five percentage points to 15%
That doesn't mean they will qualify in 15% of like that's not their odds
This means if you assume 50-50 results for the rest of the series
Sorry, it's more than it's so funny because because you know I play a lot of last time
15% is incredibly good odds.
It's so good, but obviously in reality it's certainly not.
It's so funny.
Percentages have been twisted in my mind, which is a bad thing.
But yes.
Just keep it rolling at 0.5% on that 50.
That's what I mean.
Anyway, 15% objectively is not good odds.
It's also not the odds, importantly.
That's correct.
But the percentage of scenarios, if we assume all games go 50-50.
And to provide a little bit more context on that, basically simulations are run, as you
highlighted, where the matchup is 50-50, which obviously in a real-life context isn't enough.
But for the sake of the simulation, that's how we do it.
And then of those simulations at 50-50 odds, we look at the number of scenarios in which
Frenatic is able to qualify and that it's only 9% as of right now.
And it's going to jump to just below 15%, I think it's like 14.7%.
So the numbers will change pretty significantly, because the number of games left to play will also reduce, so there's less actual outcomes for them to do.
Yeah, right now we have five more games, five more series this weekend, and then six series next weekend.
So it's 11 extra 50-50 scenarios to run. 11 extra multiples of 50-50 is that.
It was caught out a little bit here, where you're coming across, you're as old, flashing forward, with that cultivation of war.
And now Wei realizes he's not in the best of spots, has to jump away.
The slow in-circle out of offset dreaded return will get the pull back and Wei has no flash and upset to kill him for the kill.
So a lot of things happened there that was pretty interesting.
Razor was quite clearly losing the 1 vs 1, but the thing about the end is, in the extended fight, you could do a lot of damage.
Now, you'd assume that Xin is very similar in that sense, but the advantage that Fnatic had was that the collapse was coming through quicker.
So look at the mini map and look at Fnatic specifically how they have Pryo first.
The Lulu's rotating up, the Narm is rotating up, but also Vladdy is rotating over to the mid lane.
Dagblast realizes, hang on, I can't keep this fight going.
Razlok wants to keep it going though, so he flashes in.
Wei heals Dagblast to get him away to safety, that forces the flash out.
But then Wei has to flash away himself because again, Fnatic's collapsed.
So this is just a good demonstration of how Pryo is so important in these early skirmishes
and how Razlok just played with his Pryo very well.
Yeah, because that hand is in Mark II as well.
I had that cultivation of all almost fully stacked,
so it wouldn't come back to life even if he had died
in the middle of the fight.
And because of that, we see Daglus Flashless
losing out on a camp early on.
We see it upset with that early kill about 300 gold.
He's leaving his ice.
So trying to chip away at him.
He's running first strike on the Lucian.
All that extra gold and that extra damage potential.
It's a little bit harder when your support doesn't have
flash all here.
They did get the barrier out from Upset, which is still a small win for Heretic, but yeah, they are stroking down the 2 vs 2.
Still healthy lead for Ice, it's just offset by the fact that Upset has first blood.
Yeah, about 11 CS up, Vladdy even in the mid lane with 7.
We talked a little bit about the mail, can't be very frustrating to play against.
Well, let's actually talk about the top lane match of Rally, because you said, obviously, I think that Irelia just is kind of a weak champion in general right now,
But as you highlighted it is a counter into the gnar and you can see that coming through in the actual landing phase
Going for an early call because Tracin knows that he just wins out on early scumages and it's specifically just around mini gnar
It's so easy for an Aurelia to get on top of the mini gnar and then stick to the mini gnar and you basically play around your passive
So for those unfamiliar with Aurelia, it's that little bar you can see underneath her mana bar
I once you've got those four stacks then her passive is activated and then basically every time she autos you she does a bunch of extra damage
This is of course very conditional, they wear off if you're not staying in actual combat.
And so for the Aurelia what you need to do is basically stick onto your target.
Which in real fights isn't like leveraging her mobility is probably the hardest part.
Because the way that her Q works is it resets if you're able to proc her passive.
Which can only be applied through her ult or her E.
And so you can imagine that it's not easy to get multiple stacks off of that.
And that dash can be interrupted which is what we were talking about.
Or if you kill a unit with the Blade Surge, which is why you can see a dash into the minions quite a few times.
Vanguard's Edge coming out, Tracin.
Thorny would catch Ember, but Ember's Flash is away. Vanguard's the Defiant Dance there used as well by Tracin
to mitigate some of the damage coming back. Ember's now no Flash, and Tracin without the lead.
The only one with a lead on Heavisic's side.
Yeah, and he played that really well, too.
And you're seeing exactly why it's so hard for Ember off because the rally is so fast,
You often feel like you don't have time to stack your rage to turn into mega where you have a slightly more favorable matchup
But even then she can define dance a lot of your like burst in theory and that you can just continue sticking onto the fight afterwards
So very good matchup in the 1v1 Trace and doing a very good job in the top lane using a very healthy lead for himself
Heretics though with the push they've been able to get on bot lane
So this is an opportunity to start the dragon and so Razzorg is using this opportunity to see if he can cross-map
He fails to dash over wall, crushes on pink, actually gets thrown down
So heretics with good information as to where he is on the map, but Dacus might even use this to steal the reds.
Looks like he's going to go in. Razok is taking red on the top side anyway, so it doesn't matter too much in terms of Razok's total camps.
Dacus will be able to even out that disadvantage he would have had from having to take time to do the drag.
And so because of this a lot of stuff has to happen on the map. First of all, Tracin has to play way more respectfully.
in a lane that he was dominating before.
He now has to play ultra safe because he knows he's got no jungle support
and enemy jungler is on the top side of the map.
So he's playing very safe underneath his tower,
which he's happy to do because meanwhile the bot side
now has the push. The bot lane of Fnatic has to play very safe.
Meanwhile, camps are being spawned.
Oh, that's actually choosing not yet.
Now he's going to go back into the jungle.
I was going to say, I feel like you should just take all these bot camps.
There's no reason not to.
With the continued mid-prior that he has, he should feel pretty safe.
I guess he's just worried about the fact that he hasn't seen Razor for a while
So he's not entirely sure what it's actually not what am I talking about really a literally so I'm on the top camp
So I'm on the crugs
So yeah, I guess he thought maybe he could contest raptors, but I guess he realized well quickly know
There's no way I'm gonna be able to get to my raptors in time and serenity is too low on HP
So instead I'll just take the raptors and be happy with that
Also, you'll notice upset just there checked the bot side to crugs to see if those are stolen
Ultimately, it's a small win for Razork because he cleared the entire top side, whereas Daglust only got two camps, but of course, Dragon was the other tradeover.
Yeah, that's the thing. It was the tradeover.
A little bit of indecision from Daglust as well, meaning that he didn't go for the cool play.
And it does make sense that he doesn't want to go down towards those crugs because Upset and Lospu are there.
And so if the collapse happens, it's three players coming in rather than a victor that's already pushed back in the lane.
in the lane, Culling from ice.
Oh, he's got to practice that because Culling is not
killing off anyone.
But the threat of the Culling.
Yeah, but he doesn't have the threat of the Culling anymore
of anything because he's Q's there.
But it was scary at the time.
Oh, it was terrifying.
So Tracer forces Enpross away.
Yeah, so the tricky thing is, especially with Erelia,
is she'll use her Q to go back to the wave,
but she wants to keep the passive stacked.
So what will happen is then you re-approach the wave,
she Q's into the minions, Q's onto you,
and now you're just using a bit of mobility to get away.
So cool little stuff you can do on a Rallyer.
A 26 CS lead for now in the top lane matchup.
Razork, you are not allowed to start this.
He wasn't able to get two grubs though, to be fair.
So Dan was just gonna have to accept the one.
But heretics, I mean, what they have done with their draft
is they've got winning lanes pretty much everywhere.
They've been consistently finding the push
in mid lane, credit to Vladdy,
like still doing very well on farm
because it's pretty much mage on mage.
But in the top side,
and has had a lot of control and the bot lane 2 vs 2 outside of way dying early on.
Ice and White have wanted to be a winning this 2 vs 2.
Bubble connects.
In the bubble, Ice jumping forward, Pony morphed immediately up to Haster.
Had that heal used, he was falling very low.
Dacus crosses over mid, was looking for a gank on Vladimir, doesn't find it,
he's going to get down towards the bot side scuttle.
Dacus is kind of being pulled back and forth between places on the map he wants to be.
Like he was down in the bottom side jungle, then went up towards the grubs,
Now he's gone down towards the Scuttlecrab and now his top camp's a respawning, so he kinda wants to go up there, but he could also contest the Razor Beaks that he took.
Yep.
He's deciding against that, Razzle's on the top side, 7 is down to half HP, as is Bladdy.
And Razzle might just wait and look for the gank.
I mean I very much agree that Danglis has been less decisive in his path than Razzle has.
Razzle seems to have a very clear game plan and recognizes, I don't have Pro here, I do have Pro here, I can't be here, I can be here.
and I mean he's been taking advantage of where he can. I mean it's resulted in an early game goal,
the assist obviously contributing to that somewhat, but Razork's clearly power farming and working
towards getting a trinity force as quickly as possible, but he's gonna not gonna drop the alt,
okay. Hopefully he has any- Something's coming out. Razork has a window here, they spotted
Daglas on a control ward that had been placed by Razork earlier on near that red buff,
so Razork now can go in and try and steal this blue away with the pusher of the mid lane.
I think Vladdy held on to the arcane storm because he thought well maybe I need to use it around this camera
So Razzle using the forward actually really nicely here
So what he did was they're very subtly he kind of moves in here after watching the wards get cleared
And so then pings came down to be this the bot lane then starts to rotate up
Conceding some of the pressure they've been generating the bot lane 2 versus 2
So it's a very small and subtle thing that doesn't result in a big advantage
But a fantastic bot lane gets a little bit of relief just a little bit
Just because both Ice and Way back off to help their jungler, assuming that Razork is in the enemy jungle,
and whether he's there or not, they don't know, so they have to play under the assumption that he is.
And part of that is because Dagloss is spotted out in his topside jungle, right?
So it's like, I know I can walk up here without threats of a skirmish,
because the Shunxhao is either back in base or finishing up the D-call, and now he looks for Razor,
coming out from Ice again, doesn't really clip onto anyone.
Dagloss forced away, Grim's Illuminance has been used by Razor,
to wait, I'll set dodges to the side of it, waycourt out of it, and then dive back in on to
Daglas, there's the wild ghost, ice trying to do some damage for him. Razlok so tanky, shielded up
with a health fix because he got out from Daglas, Wei has to flash away, uses the heal as well.
In the end, it's just an exchange of ultimates and summoners,
neither team finds a kill. Flash heal used by Wei to keep Daglas alive,
the re-engage from Daglas did surprise me, but he had his ulti at the entire time, holding
it to the last second to beat Razork into this false sense of security. They almost make the play
work, but Razork flashes away at the last second. So, a skirmish between the two junglers, the bot lane
thing get involved, but it turns into a 2v2. Lostman wants to go and help his jungler, but he has
to help up save. He leaves him isolated, he will die. Daphnis then flashes away. Then he
re-engages, and again, it's because he has an ulti available. He throws it out now. Upset
now can't get that kill. He forces the flash out from Razork who lives on just barely any HP.
So really good awareness from Heretic, they really baited Razor into that fight.
Now Razor has to be careful, he gets it though with the red buff.
Now, Heretic will start up the Drake, would be their second of the game.
Ice, needs to be careful as he moves up towards his team here because for now it can begin to collapse.
He'll back away, now isolated from the rest of the squad and Drake has been stopped by Heretic's.
Laddy started pathing towards bot getting ready to attack with his team through the bottom lane,
but then realized the skirmish isn't a result of anything,
so he has to go back to mid.
This will give Sarin Plyo,
and Heretic now have the numbers advantage in the river.
Waiting for Dagmus and Wavie to push out through that trivus.
Razzle has to back away because of that.
Ice can clear out the wavy and bot lane,
and it'll start up the dragon.
Ladi's still in mid lane,
Lothra chunked out a little bit,
drake down for 3k, Cullen coming out as well,
forcing Lothra to use the whimsy on himself.
Heretic need to pick a lane here, go top, go bot.
Collapsed on two with a team, tied away by Grim Deliverance, used by Razor to get away.
Now, Heretic Strand dive onto Upset but can't get close enough, arc of ruin out.
Ice dashing forward with the clear to launch, slows him enough.
This is a greedy path to take as well, because Upset can just dash forward,
immediately jumps onto Ice, Barrier's exchanged.
Neither AD carry, able to take down the other.
Still a favorable trade for Ice, and an overall one skirmish for Heretics.
They hold onto the gold lead, they get themselves the second dragon.
A lot of that was just heretics had the much better position.
Fanatic tried to attack from two flanks, and they don't really have the front line to approach this comp.
We talked about in the draft how both Ice and Seren have a decent amount of poke,
and a part of that contributed by the fact that Wei has a huge amount of sustain available to him.
The W acts as that extra bit of damage, but on top of that, Ice dives in, he chunks your HP,
then, oh hang on a minute, he may have either stayed from the flank.
Ice tries to get away, but he's used the dash, then flashes the gravity field,
Arcane storm down another dash for Ice. Two seconds faster than it was previously,
but he gets him out as the essence reviewer is helping out.
Good wall of stun from Entros as they dive in.
Vanguard that's coming out from Tracen as well as Tracen dash around with Blade Search.
Knock back, pull back, dreaded return.
That was trying to get them in time, but Losp was here to back up his team.
Fematic will get their second on the floor.
The crowd control was simply too much for Tracen.
There was a real world where he could 1v2 and at the very least get one kill off the back of that.
But the way in which Fnatic used their CC made it so much harder for Tracin to navigate that skirmish and he ends up dropping Fnatic.
Get themselves their second kill of the game, and actually you call those the gold off the back of that.
Something to do, Tracin was about 800-900 gold ahead before that play half, but then for us now getting a kill,
brings that deficit down to 400, and 4 heretics, like that was your leading point.
You do have two drakes. You can play for that Dragon Sacking Razzle once again at this topside pit, very rapidly after the spawn, and the Rift Herald will be a pretty easy prize for Frenatic from their movements.
Daglus could look for Amplos down here who's just gone into Mini-Nar.
Has the Flash.
Daglus seems to have red buffed slow, wind becomes lightning, holding the audacious charge.
Now dashes over the wall. Q3 for the knockup.
Flood is due up and tracing nowhere near.
Amplos still trying to walk his way out.
And it's Tracing continues to chase, but Amplos with the movement speed from that hyper.
Will it be enough? The answer is a resounding no.
Daglus takes the kill. Wei and Ice now need to back away because Razzle is already rushing his way in.
his way in, good dreaded return, Aquifer's not finding its mark.
And Asley's able to force the bot lane away from the tower.
So Cross-Map happening now from Fnatic as Heretics find themselves a pick on the bottom lane.
Trison gets a nice injection of gold from the Herald, I think is going to win this race for Fnatic.
And with three members on the top side, they can continue to keep this push going.
The bot lane from Heretics, they're choosing to cancel their base,
they've realised the plan here from Fnatic, and Heretics want an answer.
TP coming in, Daclas looking with the chase as well, slowed up by the arc of judgement.
This is Talos for Tracing, does have the vanguard's edge, no flash, wild growth, out Daglas,
eating damage from Upset, Tracing goes in with the Grimduo over in front of the tower,
Razor gets gonna die, Upset down as well, Razor does manage to survive with his flash
of vanguard's edge though, will get off the Lulu, heretics with a great collapse
on the top side.
Yeah, I didn't think that TP play was actually gonna work, I thought that Fanatic had
already created enough distance to get away from that play safely, but Daglas, flash
Ash commits his W to apply the slow onto upset allowing for Tracer to actually get in behind.
He doesn't quite get that kill onto Razor, Razor is able to get away, but hey, killing the bot lane of Fnatic
secures you some early kills and a nice injection of gold.
So, well played there from Heretics to find something out of what felt like a very over-force play.
As you say, Flashroom becomes lightning from Daglus, that gets the wild go-tang.
And at this point you've got way as the backup for Daglus.
And Lothra's overstaying because he's trying to keep his AD carry alive, and truthfully, it looked like he actually had enough to get that kill.
But unfortunately for Upset he didn't quite have the damage needed with the support from Way that also really helping out Daglus.
And then, yeah, Tracing.
Tracing, scooping up a kill onto the Lulu.
That's advantage that Amprosa there with the build
completely disappears after dying in the bot lane
and also winning that kill over to Tracing just now.
So Dragon's spawning in 40 seconds.
An important one for both teams.
One for Fnatic to stop the stacking,
but for Heretics to put them on sole point.
Important for Heretics as well.
Fnatic only have one flash.
It's only on Vladi because of that sequence of plays.
Razzort's flash was down.
Lospor's flash was burnt.
Upset still doesn't have his flash back up.
So you have the access to the backline
you wouldn't usually have as easily with this Aurelia. She doesn't have flash either, but her ability to dance through a fight
is much greater when people can't flash out of the vanguard's edge.
You also have a tidal wave on top of it all and people can't flash out of that.
Now let's accept the tools to win this next drake fight. Two items complete on ice alongside upset.
Question is, can they dance around it properly? The moment tracing's in the topside and doesn't have TP,
So if the net is just pushed through mid they should be able to take a 4v5 around the dragon
Everettics might just look for the play anyway seven solar snap onto round the guest the roof ready to turn
Just pulling back that he uses the the bottle
Everettics are giving this up, Eddie
Looks like it fanatic actually with really good control around this objective
I don't see no easy way. They'll be happy with the cross back instead Tracer continues to get stronger. I
I mean the only concern I have for heretics is how well the Aurelia would navigate fights.
I think in side lanes, Fnatic don't have a good answer for the Aurelia.
The question is can heretics play with patience and control through side lanes, try to split
push, focus the game into skirmishes where the Aurelia will thrive, because again
I feel like similar to game one, if all they're going to do is force 5v5s, then
I feel like the Aurelia will struggle, but perhaps the Aurelia gets strong enough
that it simply doesn't matter.
I think she needs to be a bit stronger than this.
Even a rallyer with a lead can struggle to have as much impact as they want in fights,
when you're going through the polymorph, the wild growth, the dreaded return,
the arcane storm, the gnar with the wallop and the gnar itself as well.
Tracing though, deciding he wants to be the split push threat has built the hole breaker,
looking for that extra damage against the structures from it,
And also it's just the Arminians as well, right?
Yeah, definitely. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it reads exactly nearby allied siege and super minions game.
106 armor-matter resistance.
Oh, so it just makes them...
Take a mini Z0.
Yeah, a mini Z0.
Oh, not so many, um, Surge.
Or was it Surge?
The one that promoted a minion?
Was that called Promote or Surge?
I think it was called Promote.
Are you thinking Fortified or that was Towers?
No, I...
Are you thinking of the spell?
Yeah, the Summoner spell!
I'm going back in time, dude.
Dude, that's like what, 16 years ago?
I don't even remember what that does.
I think it was from a fortified?
No, it was a fortified, I think it was promoted.
I'm gonna look it up, you talk about it.
You talk about interesting things.
All right, well, Tracin's continuing this blood first.
They've sent Vlad to just basically go and wave clear.
Emberol's desperately trying to get a tower of his own.
Actually, they're pinging, they want a TP.
I don't think this is a player, guys.
There we go, TP comes out, no tower here.
I mean, it's definitely a play, whether it's a good one,
we'll leave up to the next 20 seconds to decide.
Tracing, forward to Stuart, Vanguard's edge out as well,
Dutch to gravity, well, mix is the sum
from the forward to Stuart,
and because of that, it doesn't really have anywhere to go.
He's down, and I don't think they can play
towards the topside.
Kill off the largest gold lead for Heretics,
since we'll use that time to push through mid lane.
And importantly, that he was promote,
it metamorphized the nearest allied siege minion
into an anti-towage cannon.
Wow.
Great.
So that's really useful.
Thank you for that, Betty.
Let's look at the mid-skirmish.
Ooh, ice barrier pop.
Tidal Wave catches up as he dashes forward.
With the Kaling, it won't be enough.
And Tidal Wave's saving at least as they can.
So the reason why that top gank ended up
working for Fnatic was because there's
no cost map play for Aerithix.
There's no Dragon, there's no bot tower,
and Jungler is not in the vicinity.
So they can actually over-commit, which
is largely what that was from Fnatic,
Committing three members all the way up to the topside, commiting a TP as well.
Simply because Heretics had nothing else that they could do.
They tried to siege and made the wave clear from Upset was good.
He even throws out his ultimate to make sure that he can trade back against Ice in that extended skirmish.
And then on the reset, they end up securing Bot Tower.
So overall a big win for Fnatic.
And sometimes it's one of those situations where there's nothing to do on the map.
You can get lax and Fnatic taking advantage of that from Heretics.
The best dashing away from Upset and has Mpros here to help push out.
Tracing's down towards the bottom side.
He'll have to be dealt with at some point, but Fnatic think they have enough time to play around this midway.
Back to putting down on Mpros.
Now, it's not available for any of the squishier targets.
Wait, forced away!
Alright, the Chaos Ray, or Arcane Ray as it's called now on the Siphon Power.
It looks like Vlad is going to be the one assigned to dealing with this bottom side.
Razzot was looking to see if Tracing had walked back through the lane,
and we call him in the bush.
And of course, almost mega.
Heretics, we should be having a chip away at this tower.
Maybe even able to take the whole thing.
Wade goes forward.
Thanks to Tower Shot.
He was himself up with the ebb and flow.
Heretics backing away.
Don't really want to push too far.
Good damage on the upside though from Sarin,
who hasn't really been that involved in this game.
Zero, zero, zero.
I mean, there've only been six kills in the whole game.
Ice is also zero, zero, zero.
But Mel's damage scales well.
She can do a lot in the later game fights has good range to rebuttal doesn't have the best of times
It pisses me off, right? It just actively makes me mad
I
What there's a game we played the other day where I was like I have like 60% of my HP and the bells
What just killed me and I was like I don't know what just happened. So that's how I see now
I don't know what's happening, but she does a lot of damage. Yeah, that's very true
You overwhelmed by her passive that I am it's called overwhelmed. I figured then thank you for explaining
Banner of command, by the way.
Okay, again, you keep just saying things
that most of our audience have never heard of.
We need league classes.
I don't think it's, like, people are nostalgic about it
and say, oh, league was better in my day.
It wasn't, firstly.
But Banner of command, like, as easy as what?
Banner of command just as a game mode.
That people don't, a lot of things will die
in the game.
I know, I agree.
I'm just saying, like, I would like to play it
as like a one-off game mode.
Okay.
You know?
back the heck with that's what we couldn't play for
people the servers were broken
yeah if you want to bring back
league you want to bring back 20-minute cues
on the login screen
watching shows under the monitor
waiting for the cue time to go down
and then stick order
I would come home from work, log into league
and I would watch anime, that's what I would do
yeah
you have to copy paste something
please into chat, that's true
and then there was the way to
Skip the German when the servers are down.
Oh, there is no Earth level.
Yeah, there is no Earth level.
Just skip into the game so you could,
I was gonna say so you could practice,
but you couldn't even practice
because practice is not just a thing, yeah.
You could go into custom,
that's how ARAM originally started.
It was a custom game mode.
That's very true.
Okay, so four and a half minutes on the next rake.
Yeah.
Hey, hemmatix are ahead in gold, then.
Correct, but it's all on Aurelia.
Yeah, and it doesn't feel like they're ahead in the game.
That's because there's an Aurelia.
Haha!
Haha!
Sound logic!
Hm?
Douglas has the flash out of the gravity well there.
Wouldn't be collapsed on ice.
Jumping across the wall, going up set!
It's isolated on a little bit, backed up by Empress,
tracing TP's in.
Fall as Stuart doesn't land the sun,
and of course just jumps over it.
And there's a teleport invested.
Harrisix might try and keep this one rolling though.
See, perhaps they can force
a static to fight around the Baron.
Like, I just...
Oh, hang on.
The Thrasher's starting the Baron.
I think it's kind of crazy.
Uh, woooooo.
Empress about to go mini.
mini. Yeah so the problem is they're like starting it but the four members are
starting Fnatic away. Yeah but Daglas is solo this battle. I mean yes slowly but surely
he will. Do Fnatic no. Right now. TPM. Daglas still on that balance. He's gonna be the
little guy that Kudas Razzle jumps in and delivers as well. Will catch out ice.
Gladdy though. Polly morphs down onto Trace and his he's forced away. Gladdy a
half a piece almost there coming out as well as that was still on that Baron
he's got half of his health left on.
Well, let's just take it, can't they? Confidently, now just throw it down.
I think Harris is dead, but look at how healthy Harris is up. They can still take this fight.
They still have Golden Eclipse.
Well, they can't take this fight.
They just use Nami ult. Nami has no flash. Also, did you see Eurelia, by the way,
threw everything up Ladi, got Polymorph, then does nothing.
Like, everything that I've described this whole game is, I think that if heretics just play
a standard front to back team fight, they're going to lose.
And I feel like that fight was a really good example of what I was talking about.
Like, I'm happy to be proven wrong.
Perhaps my understanding of her really plays as completely misinformed,
but so far the evidence seems to support my theory.
I'm going to raise a counterpoint.
Go ahead, I'd love one.
Blind trust.
Yeah, that's all I can have. That's what my perspective on EUT is, for every international event ever, so I'm well-versed in blind trust.
Alright, go ahead, Heretics.
They've made Fnatic blind, fog of war.
There is a ward there. Now it's clear.
Okay, good job, Heretics.
First word of the two-word strategy has been achieved.
So there's other problem I have for you.
Emperor has TP and he's bot lane.
Mel has TP.
She's bot lane.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it's fine now.
But Dragon is in two minutes.
That's basically what Fnatic's playing for.
They're quite happy to stall this one out.
Because basically their win condition is,
is our Victor and Unara three items yet?
And if the answer is no, they'll go,
okay, go back to farming then.
Okay.
The Serpent's fang is a pretty good idea though.
Yeah, I like it.
I like it.
Oh, Emperor.
He's faking.
Yeah, but sometimes the observers will follow people
and then you're like, oh, they're gonna die soon.
And then it didn't happen.
And I can't blame the observers for that, right?
Because you're reading into their tales.
I'm also, I'm blaming the teams for not fighting.
It is 27 minutes into this game,
but then we've had six kills.
Yeah, well, it's sort of two games yesterday,
but had this many kills at minute one.
Okay.
But I don't, again, pro teams don't run engaged anymore.
So this is what happens.
And they don't run static ship.
Also true.
Don't know how that's relevant,
I just wanted cool stuff and we had the same boring drafts again, Betty.
I understand, Fnatic, think they have a chance of qualifying for playoffs, but that chance
is so infinitesimally small, even if they go 2-0 in both their series, that I just
wanted them to bring something cool to the table, but instead, I get the same slop!
What?
That's a strong word, Medic.
That's a strong word.
I just want new drafts, dude.
Okay, well, you're not gonna get it.
Instead, we're getting a Baron start.
Lock it, Medic.
Calling from ice fanatic force away Tracen and daggers do this much quicker than daggers get it alone
Teepee coming in as well. It's got this guy right in front of him.
And then Pusklich's enjoying the fight the title way that was looking to steal from somebody taken by heretics fanatic
The two late can they find something on the back end boomerang blade it was repotted way at leading the distraction tactic
Here is he's taken out. Grim delivers in those seven will fall two heretics
We'll get three out with the Baron buff
Do they do lose their mid and their support?
I mean, it's going to be difficult for heretics to really use this ban as the problem because
Dragon is now spawning.
Fanatic should immediately turn their attention towards the objective, put themselves on sole
point and yet it's an advantage gained in the sense that you take it off the map.
You get a nice injection of gold, but the two kills that Fanatic just got for themselves
on top of the purple plates that they're able to secure, overall is a net win for Fanatic.
May I raise a counterpointer?
You may raise accounts of what?
Life?
Okay.
The Irelia does have that.
And perhaps you can split us now.
We'll have a look at this.
Bound taken by how it is.
I mean it was really fast.
The news to the both the Xin Zhao and the Irelia,
to melt the objective,
Fnatic didn't quite get in range fast enough,
but in the fight,
I mean they had no way to escape.
No flash available on the way.
Seren did use his flash,
but it wasn't enough to get him away to safety.
And so even with the Bound buff right now,
Now, Heavtix are just going to use it to stall as Fnatic put themselves on sole point.
Tidal Wave was used as well to stop Fnatic getting to the Baron initially.
Tracin, after pushing out, top lane is now moving down towards the middle lane.
So three mountain dragons gives you 15% bonus armor magic.
Which, you know, that's really solid.
The one good thing, I mean, base stats are base stats, right? They will all be buffed up.
The one good thing for Heavattix is not many people are building armor and magic.
Right?
You have cooldown boots on Vladdy. He's got his onions, sure.
Double plate of steel caps will give you some armor and magic.
That's fair.
I bet if you clicked on Vladdy right now, he probably has 120 or so armor.
148.
Yeah, 150.
So he's still sizable, right?
There's 150 armor, still 150 armor.
Vladdy is caught out with a soul snap.
Seren gashing away with the rocket bowed out of that gravity field.
I can still damage one with the tide away there for the follower.
Blanny, though, survives, and if he did, oh, he dies in the end!
It's because he doesn't have enough magic, because there's seven kills, and Heretic's trying to pick down towards the bottom side, and now with the Baron buff,
they finally moved into a positive gold, Red Bull Baron.
I was worried that Heretic wouldn't be able to use the Baron, but they did group in bot lane.
The wave grid from Fnatic isn't good enough, and Heretic's get a pick as well, so nice plays coming out from Heretic's.
TP and Kassadin.
I mean Tracing's continuing to pressure in the mid lane. I'm just trying to keep him at bay.
Tracing doesn't really want to go too far forward.
Double cannon minions make it very hard for Upset to ever step forward and clear this.
One of the problems for Fnatic is their wave clear is Vlad.
Yeah, right there range at least.
Because of that now they have to step away right?
Wait a second to that.
Looking for the flank position.
Ten on the Baron as you say, and ten on Vlad.
And Zrazzok is forced away.
Drake up, it's a long time to wait three minutes.
Start your resets now. Use the empowered recalls.
Should be infinity edge though, Fyce.
I think the black cleaver was also finished.
Another item was...no, it must have been GA. That's what I missed.
Yeah, GA is finished with that one.
So, a couple items picked up for Parasix, which is nice.
Looks like Tracin also working towards GA would be my assumption.
Sitting on a dagger though, which is a little odd.
Yeah, I don't know bills for BF plus dagger that I don't already you're doing a thing
I actually don't remember. I'm trying to I don't think so
That that must be because why would you go to BF in a dagger?
That's a great question. That's why so stories are technically okay. There you go. Oh, I
Doubt he's building either of those. I also doubt it. Sorry. You gotta be careful that buddy
So what's that?
Rock it out.
Razzle, Flash has been ready to return and Vady called it!
Seven was not careful enough.
He's taken out. Daklas now forced
to try and run towards the bottom side.
What was the key point there?
Like saying to trust that he
we talked about this.
Guff and Daklas trying to clear out the wave.
Okay, so Darius, I mean...
Yeah, he can't go anywhere.
So he just tries to clear the wave as quickly as he can.
That's kind of his only play.
He's going to lose his GA, which is a pretty big loss, especially with Dragon of Bering
in about a minute and a half.
So Heretic just gave over Fnatic two free kills.
Greater Wennis from Razork.
He saw the same play that I did, which is like, hey, this midlaner is not allowed
to be here.
And yes, it's just an egregious overstep.
There's no reason for Saren to do this.
He puts himself within range of Fnatic, and they happily take that kill.
So credit to Razork.
He does have to commit his flash, but it's worth it.
The biggest reason I think is because they get the GR off the dangles, which I think
is a big win for them.
He didn't actually sell the dangles.
Yeah, so you've got to steal a Stigilent set.
That's a Guardian Angel on this, right?
That makes a lot more sense.
That does make more sense.
Mate, I mean, what's the sell call?
And now you're making me look at the sell call.
It doesn't matter.
What does matter is that the next objectives are in, I mean, it's time, and with
soul on the line. Heretics, well they're going to have to fight for this.
I don't want to fly.
The ice silence by the Arkansas has to flash away, Bladdy.
It pops up by last move in time. That's a big summoner and the calling out for the
ice.
Yeah, but it's TP already spent now from Bladdy. It's 40 seconds so he does have
time to base. Solutions is going to quickly go back to base as well.
Fanatic, I've got good vision control. I'm having a quick look. I don't see
any deep wards on the side of Heretics to allow them to flank. There is that
one ward just over the wall but yeah the fight over the mid wave, Vladdy making
decisions to go ooo that bot wave is it's a bit of a problem just because
Tracing can TP at any point the split push option is there and he's choosing to ignore it so
I mean Emples could go stack up the mega now and then TP back in the
problem is his bar is pretty well stacked right now so he doesn't want
to go play around a wave go mega and then have to TP in while these mega is
falling off. Okay, here another thing he knows. I think that was a bit of a mistake.
Freak is up though. He's already down to 7000. Heretics needs to start to collapse onto this.
Upset's beginning to hit. It means it's falling lower. Daglis going in. Polymorph.
Try to get into the pit. Manages to do so, but off they immediately turns attention to him.
And Daglis is done for! Razor will get the smite. Lanny able to kill off Tracer as well.
Fnatic surviving through the fight, seven tries to flash away, but the dreaded return pulls him back and we go to the clicks.
Does no damage, Upset takes the triple, and now Fnatic will turn their attentions over to Walsh the Bat.
They don't even kill Vladdy after that. A heavy commitment from Dacros. I think the engage looks promising.
Tracer isolated him, but then Lulu completely mitigates the ability for the ability to actually find that kill.
An inhibitor is secured by Heretic to tower as well.
But this time about like if they had just considered the split push option, maybe there's a world where Tracing could have done some serious damage, put Fnatic in a very awkward spot, maybe go for that backdoor approach, instead they tried to force the fights and things go pear-shaped.
So Daglas sees and out of position, Vladdy goes all in nice engage, Emplos doesn't connect up to anyone, Tracing now in the 1v1, gets stunned up, but then watch the Lulu.
The shielding of the Wild Growth and then Vladdy just turns around over the help of that set, they secure that kill.
as well. He flashed back and knocked the heretic backline away.
He was just like, I'll flash back in here, get the gnar off and we can walk and kill these
two people. Even though he didn't connect initially, he was able to keep Seren Ice and Wei out
of the action. And now that split brush threat is much harder because you're playing into
empowered recalls, which makes it, you don't have the time to really chip away at those
Nexus towers. Kinetic with a 3.5k gold lead, they're doing their part. Faul is
on to Razor, he's still very healthy, haven't really done any damage to him yet.
And that's where the Mountain Soul really begins to pay dividends, he's in the middle of all of them
and he's still healthy enough, a grim deliverance, cultivation of water, he would not even port!
They just can't kill him!
Zulu there, but hey, he just said, oh, enemies in front of me, let's go, I need to fully stack my passive up
and then Ice, mis-positioned, has the barrier, doesn't use it, gets one shot
and with the AD carry gone, Fnatic making a beeline towards the Nexus.
I don't know how Heretics hold on from this point.
The only wave clear they have, with any range at all is 7,
and then of course it's just stepping up with those Baron-empowered minions.
Fnatic looking to close this one out, triple Cannons on the wave.
Zagras trying to find some sort of engage, but with Wildcurd there's a double knocker.
Zagras goes in the prison guard as well, the Polymorphons tracing.
He has a Guardian Angel, they will bring him back now.
Rise up, dive in with that backline though.
And everyone is melting in his path.
Chase in, turns into a squirrel once again.
And Fanatic will claim the 2-0 with a bloody quadra killer to round it out.
Fanatic, to keep their playoff chances alive, they need victories.
This was the first step, bringing them to three wins.
The number of scenarios increases where they qualify to playoffs,
but it's on easy roads.
not at all. They are very
losing if they get to four
things become a lot more
You can vote for one of t
the series both razzle, Gladi
your three options. I mean,
game was really good and his
I would give it to razzle. I
stats. You played well, but
by the facts, you picked a
end of this game and the
this game. He was like 1.2K gold. Yeah, he was still playing really well. Sometimes people
look at KDA. That one, yeah, right hook was a big driver in this series for sure, but
I think overall, fnatic, a good morale boost as well, winning a series after. What's been
a pretty difficult week for that. It really has. We're going to head over to Law and
Odo. We're sitting down with Vladdy in a while. I see Vladdy walking over to them.
We're just going to head over to Law and Odo for now, and Vladdy will join them
at some point, I'm sure. I was told to hand it over. So that's what I'm doing
in this moment. I'm handing it over. Law, off you go.
Hand it over man, and yeah, you've been yapping so much that Vettie had time to join us here.
Thank you so much.
Yes, I asked for you.
Speak in the mic, Vettie, what do you want to say?
He's complaining.
Did she ask for the interview?
I did, because I thought you guys would want to have a catch-up discussion, especially around this game.
You think he played good?
Oh, fine.
I mean, game too a bit worse, I would say.
Like, I think I should have a serious lead over Mel.
But besides that, it was solid.
That's the only thing you care about is the early lane phase?
Yeah.
Do we have the production? Do we have the replays ready?
We have the replays ready. Everything is ready. We brought the receipts here.
So if we would play this victory versus Irelia to see what happened there.
How many times I tell you this week to be strong side? I don't have bloody?
Wait, let me see the replay. Okay, I want to see what's happening.
You're just the one going into Irelia consistently.
Why? How many times I tell you to not be that guy?
I think in this case I don't remember, but...
You're trying to cope?
Yeah, I'm not sure actually.
Even if you remember or not, it's bad. Why are you here? Why are you permanenty versus Irelia?
I think Ember was just talking and...
Laming the teammate who's not even here to defend himself.
I think he was shaking in this matchup so he was like, Vlad, please, I can't play against this guy. He's too good.
So I just had to thank him, you know?
So backstage, I need to spank him, not you.
But I told you to be a gigant, I told you to just go.
I mean there were some bad spots on site where, for example this.
Yeah, you're doing third rank, you have TP up, why are you not there? What's going on?
Yeah, I think... I think it's a top group.
I think he managed to...
I'm getting the scope every single day for him.
Listen, he managed to save the game. You guys manage as a team of course to save the game in the end. What did it come down to?
These games? Yeah, this game. I mean I think this game specifically is just one cause of teamfights.
Basically we also had a teamfight oriented comp and I think
sides obviously were a bit rough. I saw the set there were a couple of mistakes from my
for myself
But we had a very easy teamfight comp I would say and yeah, we played better in teamfights
See coach, it's about recovery.
I mean, I'm just being a little bitch to him because he deserves it sometimes, but all in all, they did do better.
Because honestly, mid game was better. A lot of the times, I think if it was last week, when it comes to these Drake situations, they would be completely fumbled.
I feel like they wouldn't even get into the situation where they get to contest them, especially being two Drakes down.
breaks down. I feel like it was a great salvage situation and improvements were there. It's
just, my job is to point out all the negatives. But this is a positive, Vladimir.
Yeah, that's so good.
Yes, that's so bad before.
What happens?
I just think my lane got better. I think Ordo and Gax specifically did a very good job.
A lot of times after the games we were just reviewing the laning phase mostly and
I think I got better in my opinion, but obviously right now I think there are some struggles on side as all the so they think
Yeah, I'm just missing some timers and then it ends up to orma being very bad. I would say
You got to start somewhere and like you you're in a situation where you have to win every game so one down
Two more teams to go
You have a 80.
And then it's free to the Lord.
And it's kind of a door died.
How do we feel about that actually, they're on stage right now?
Yeah, I mean, I'm talking to Karzyk consistently and I'm telling him that he's going to lose.
And honestly, I think he kind of accepted it after they lost to Sifters.
Okay.
WC, he just said, oh my God, we're so boosted.
So I think I'm confident we will win.
And then obviously it's based on other teams to fumble kind of to get to playoffs.
but we just need to focus on the next game for us.
Alright, get the mental edge against Vitality, that's the way.
Coach, what would be three learning points that you would give Fnatic and the rest of the boys for today?
Fnatic and the rest of the boys?
You should be strong side more man, what are you doing?
That's one of them, two, not Cope so much, because you and the others are chief copers
and three is pray to the Lord that Jx and everyone else keeps losing.
That's not on them though. They're doing their best.
I'm the biggest DX hate watcher.
I will be actually, not yet.
Me too, we can match it.
After Vitality, I'm gonna go to a bar
and just watch three games of the X during the Madre Droughty.
He won't go anywhere.
A couple of weeks ago I said, hey let's get dinner
and you said no, I won't do that, that's boring.
Any other thing you're gonna go to the bar?
You know what? We're gonna unpack that later.
If you win, you take him out.
Let's say on a date if you want that's up to you guys to decide. That's not my business here. We're done here
Thank you so much. It's been great talking to you
Thank you, and we're gonna be back in a couple minutes as we said vitality is gonna be on stage

Player of the series for Fnatic was Razorg. We're gonna see him again on Monday against Vitality.
Vitality, they're about to play against SK. One team is playing for fun, the other team is playing for a good ranking and sitting for the playoffs.
Let's talk about the team who's playing for fun first.
I thought it was the other way, I thought Vitality was playing for fun.
They're always playing for fun.
They're always playing for fun, but SK is playing a bit more for fun now, nothing at stake for them, they're out.
Can we finally say that the project didn't work?
It feels like it's been rough.
Sorry, I cut you off.
But they already tried in the qualifier earlier to try and play with slow queue.
So it already seems that they're looking for the next step
because the project, I would say, it has indeed not shown what we wanted
because when Miki made the whole decision and the whole shebang,
she was like, Lither was the only player that would rival Caps in Europe.
And it felt like he was the promised one and this was the iteration of a skater to prize back to glory and it just sadly was a bit
Yeah, and I think like fair play to Mickey for putting his name on the line in that regard and saying look
I want this to be the case. I want us to try and win output or fortunately just hasn't really come to it
And now it kind of has to go through a rebrand like we do to try and bring this back into a better position
Oh, no, I hear him. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, it's all about
Yeah, I think they're gonna be playing for fun this so maybe it's time to shake things up
maybe to try and show something different on the rift.
On the other side Vitality looking at cementing their situation here in top 4.
We said it again earlier, if you get top 4 you're guaranteed your place in the upper bracket,
so big things that take care of you.
Upper bracket is extremely important, right?
Because double elimination, you pretty much stay in the future
because if you're in the bottom 5-6 you're going back in the past
where you'll have one shot to win the trophy.
And it's especially important for them because
We kind of gave them a little bit of a lee or like relaxed tone
because they were all having so much fun and they were playing so well.
But now is the time to lock in.
Yeah.
We already stopped in a big list of SK.
So SK might just be playing, you know, for fun,
he's here and look to upset teams, but they really need to win this game.
I think it's also when you get into a position like playoffs
with the pressures on, that kind of ha, ha, he, he, we're having fun.
It can be a lot more difficult to try and manage.
So I think having that extra life just give you a, OK,
We messed up the first time, we'll get it back the second time.
And I think it just gives you that little bit of a leeway to kind of keep the vibe,
not rather than having to be all doom and gloom immediately.
And that's the thing, I've been praising Vitality a lot on social media.
And every time the fans are like, yeah, but Lord, it doesn't come to this.
Regular season is fine.
This is playoff that's going to be important.
So they really want to cement themselves there.
And I'm looking at top lane here, guys.
These two crazy guys in the top lane, veteran on one side,
new generation in the new blood on the other.
a lot of new champions here and a lot of diversity out of it's more like super
rank level he's getting there I got to super rank level he's there he's playing
fossil champions and a bit of season 1 champions meanwhile super star new kid on
the block playing all the highly mobile high-octane carry champion so it is all
blood versus new blood I think it's crazy I think they're the most creative
top players we have and especially when you're getting things like the queen
and the Camille from NACNACO, and need to be here constantly for Wunder,
I want to see what this kind of pick is going to look like.
Hey, it's slow, when you play at IVA, life is slow.
Everything is going slow and you're just like, oh...
It's oil of challenge.
Yeah, at my 30 years of age pushing 30,
I need to slow things down a little bit, and IVA has the best way.
And I hope they deliver, because every time we preface the plane,
usually that's where they throw the most boring picks,
but enough of this, I actually want to catch up with Vitality once again,
because we were in France last week, they were in Prague.
They were in Prague, you know what I'm doing?
Some team bonding and team building together don't hit the goose.
What the hell is this, man?
What are you doing?
OK, so Karzy, you're the one that I want to catch up with.
Actually, you tweeted last week that in Prague,
you bonded with your teammates.
You spent a lot of intimate moments together.
You learned a lot from this.
I mean, if you guys want to get around him, actually,
we can bring.
Because you were talking about Linzas and McNaco.
Yeah, we slept in the same bed.
We slept in the same bed.
I don't want to know what happened in this bed,
but I want you to tell me how much it reinforced your bond as teammate.
What did you learn from that intimate experience with them?
We can fully trust each other because there is nothing we can be hiding away from each other.
I see. Can you tell me about the goose?
Oh, I have no idea what the goose is doing here.
Who is that? I have no idea.
He just brought her under me.
Okay, don't hit the goose though.
No hitting animals. I don't want everyone to see that again.
Anything about the goose?
Any more?
No comments on the Goose, but comments on the game. We're heading it now. SK Vitality. Let's get it.
Well, let's have a gander at the players as they walk out on stage.
The Goose saw me in a mystery.
I thought I had a rhyme in my head, but I don't.
And this series will be history.
Yeah, I thought history, but I couldn't quite get it. You know what I mean? There's something...
For some reason I was reminded of the Kung Fu Panda quote, what is it?
The present one.
Yeah, the present one.
Yeah.
Past is history, tomorrow is a mystery.
But present is a gift.
Today is a gift.
Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.
I was hoping you'd close that one out then, but apparently our synergy over the years
is just waning.
No, like, Draco says my superpower is remembering incorrect song lyrics, and he's like,
How do you do this? Like every time I know what song it is but you consistently get the
wrong lyrics every time.
Yeah, as long as you're in the general.
That's all I pick, you know.
Yeah, but it is apparently a super pack. In any case, none of that is relevant because
we're getting ready for Vitality versus SK. This will be our second best of three of
the day, week six day one. And as the analyst has mentioned, SK are already eliminated
from playoffs. This will actually be their final best of three of the regular season
so we won't see them until summer.
The question is what will their approach be? Are they going to...
Vibes, man.
Well, they'd be vibes.
It'd better be vibes, dude.
Because for Vitality, they do...
If they win this series, they do get a lot of top four.
Yeah, top four, which means you get double elimination going into our playoffs.
Vitality do have another series later on.
This is not their last. They play fanatic on Monday.
Yes, they do.
So they have another chance to lock that top four.
First seed from the regular season chooses from three and four.
So there is a slight benefit to being in the top two.
Absolutely.
Do you don't get marked against the first C?
Absolutely.
I don't think many teams will be picking Vitality.
I'll be honest, if they're giving the option,
I think Vitality are at a very good rank this season so far.
It does of course depend who else is in that group.
If the option is between Vitality and G2,
even if G2 were struggling generally,
teams don't like to pick them in play.
That's true.
As we get Inky drawn up.
So far, Bans looks like...
The Ezreal is probably the weirdest Bans on the list.
Normally we do not see that taken away.
But if you ban it here,
does the options get the operate next game. So I think this is a fearless fan of, we want
to pick it later, so Karzy, please don't pick it now.
Wanda, this is your moment.
Giovanna jungle, come on.
Let's maybe not blind the Teemo, but I'm down thinking about it.
But that smile fills me with so much hope, Betty.
It doesn't. It's a wonder smile. No, it's a wonder smile, bro. But he's already pitching
it to the team, you can tell. They have left Caitlyn open for Karzy.
Yeah, that's not the way it is one of his best champions. I think he hasn't lost on it. He's played it five times this play
One of his best champions currently statistically his best. Yeah, so
Giving that to Karzy is definitely a bit of a risk bar does normally the pairing that they have alongside it with the Jarvan locked in for lintess
Vitality already have created a strong foundation SK
They're going through a little bit more of these skirmishing side lane threats rises open remember
Are they going to do the rise?
It used to be a massive rise player. We haven't seen it from him at all this split.
Okay, Jin for Yoppa. That's a little bit more... I'll stand back and open up.
He just played it once.
Wait, he actually hasn't played one rise game.
He hasn't played one rise game.
Wait, that's shocking.
Where's the trust?
Because I didn't believe that. I thought that couldn't be true, right?
I mean, they often ban the rise. 40% of the time. They are banning it every time.
So are they looking at support?
Okay, so nothing too crazy as of yet, but we put the Teemo in the SK's thoughts.
I don't think I have ever cast a professional Teemo again.
I mean, Bors played it in mid lane all those years ago.
It wasn't Bors, it would have been Hyde.
Hyde, sorry, not Hyde.
Yeah, but I think he did that in North America, which I was not casting.
North America, right.
Yeah, that's true.
So, I genuinely don't think I've ever cast a Teemo.
We definitely have. There was a I want to say misfits end of season game didn't matter. I
Really feel like we've had a team up. I'm gonna look at that but you talk, okay?
It's really not that important. I just like a fun throwaway fact. Nope. Anyway, as they're locked in for vitality
Cunoy's
Can now ban away a bunch of annoying mid laners rise. I think should be one of the top of the list
You've always got to be careful of leader though. He will play things like Yone. He will play
I think he'll play. Silas
There's the only van. He'll
also play. What's the other
one I was thinking of? Uh he'll
play echo true. We'll play
echo. So yeah, there's a lot of
high mobility assassin type
champs that can work. Dan Dan
played it for Miss Vs G two
in L. A. C. Spring 2012. Yeah
Wait a bit, in 2017 for Splice?
That one I was more likely I would have cast.
Well, I'll look them both up while you talk, buddy.
Okay.
What's the last ban going to be here for SK?
Braum!
Ooh, that's actually quite a good ban, especially with all the dives coming through from SK.
But I have to imagine Bard is going to be the pick for Vitality.
And that's they do Karma! Who is open?
But maybe they don't think that karma is that strong into the...
We were casting the Dagram game.
I was incorrect. I have in fact cast one T-Mobile.
I don't know. I need to check the second one.
Alright, well, again, contribute nothing to the draft and delve extremely deep into this tangent.
Alright, so Bob Pick here makes sense. You're looking for top mid, playing into his ear.
I don't think the Echo works too well here for leader.
Shibana top is something I've seen making arounds.
Did it get its ADs?
I think it's locked in when you drop the Teemo point.
No, I need to look not too close.
Okay, come on Wanda. Give us something fun.
Come on Wanda! Come on Wanda!
He likes it!
Right, we got a Shibana top lane.
And we're getting a Fizzhover and Echo.
And Echo. I mentioned the Echo and it's locked in. Okay.
So, a lot of side lane threats on the side of SK.
I think Echo, after the Dusk and Dawn nerfs fell off a bit, but I think you can still play like the boost one-shot build of Echo where it's like Protobelt, Shadowflame, Lichbane.
Just basically tie boost, I do lots of damage.
But alright, Shyvana top. Are we gonna get AP Shyvana, Bruiser AD Shyvana?
that. She did get a pretty
significant changes on this
patch. The AP version is just
much better now. I still see a
lot of people going bruises.
Yeah, I mean, my experience
with it again. My experience is
very limited with Shibana, but
seems to have been a lot of
the AD builds. Do you want to
know what wonder his built? He
has played three recent games
of Shibana top. Yeah, Zeke's
convergent Dustin Dorn. Spears
Yeah, that's ultimate bravery.
The second game he went, try force the experiments at Hexplate.
Okay.
And in the third game, he went, Rocket Bell Bloodletters, Gersely Andrews.
He has no idea what he is doing.
It's on hit. Sheen procs, I guess, at the second one.
And then full AP.
And then burn, yeah.
Yeah, like burn AP.
Now all of them with grasp.
So we'll see what one does the side to do.
Wait, does grasp people make sense in the AP version?
I don't know. I guess we'll find out. Alright, well, we're getting ready. I will say it's
a bit BM to run the dragon Slayer skin for schemes, when there is literally a dragon
in the stall point.
Yeah, I was going to say that Razzlock was running Fnatic Jarvan, and I feel that's
just an instant buff, right?
Yeah, probably.
If you're putting it in there, it's just one of those things. But yes, we do get
Sleash of Honor on the bit. 4 Vitality, this game matters a little bit, as if
they win they do lock top four for SK. It's that last series of spring. I'm glad to see them bringing out something a little bit more inventive.
Wanda to be fair.
Wagging his way to the top lane.
SK have always done inventive display. This isn't even uncharacteristic for SK.
Which is why I was very happy this was the second series of the game.
Like I said.
I knew we were going to get something fun.
Like they played Anivia top, they played TF top, they played Assassin's mid, they played all sorts of fun stuff.
So they're running out on something fun. Let's see if they can pull it off.
Do you think Vitality would deny the, let's do something fun because of their losses this week?
Yeah.
You think it was a, hey, guys, we gotta win now.
Come on now.
Alright, Wendigo on.
Yes!
Cancelled one over there, but it's okay.
And Magnaka will trade quite well with the ranged form into the melee.
Yeah, so, he, Wanda started W, right?
So W is the shield.
Yeah, in front of Rages.
After a small duration will explode, then there's a bit of damage, but also it gives you bonus
movement speed when you run towards enemies to try and help you close on that deck.
It gives you flat bonus movement speed more when you run towards enemies.
It's a problem.
What Nuk-Nuk will do is because that shield is tiny, he will auto-attack it once.
The shield will pop and then it won't explode into any damage.
Like that.
But it hits minions.
It is hitting the minions.
Now he needs one more minion for level 2.
The problem is Nuk-Nuk is going to get that level 2 first.
So now wonder will be zoned away from all of the farm
So is he getting E now yes, so he wants the land he wants the ability to last it there we go
There you go. It's nice ability to last it against the molten burst on the shavanna and they can farm for me
As you say quite different to what she used to be she didn't just cure artillery anymore
Yeah, you don't just like all to men stand away from people who actually incentivize to be in the middle of a fight
Flash-patch down immediately on the flesh you have to flash away might take me on him won't be enough damage a
Couple of caretakers trying to as well if you want to pick them up in your foot took the receiving end of the damage
So flesh you would just give himself back up with those lotus blooms Nikki was staying around trying to hold the wave
I should still be able to do that.
Skiing spotted out by this ward, control ward placed twice.
Did you see the wind in there?
Ah, I think there was a wind in with the control.
I believe it was Fleshy actually early, because I don't think this ward would have
been back up for a while.
Did you just not buy pots in the lane?
Can you rewind, Betty, I'm sorry.
I was so focused on the shimma.
I was just about to say all this stuff and now you can come back to me.
Yeah, Fleshy just done it by pot.
Yeah, I was correct.
Yeah, but not buying pots, you get warded Atlas 2 pots, that's what supports tend to
do.
Instead, he went to the control ward early.
It's a team player.
And we were looking at the top side, so nice stuff from Fleshy, gets that control
ward down.
What were you going to say, Flethy?
Give me a second.
Okay.
Kind of being too important.
No, I had a whole thing.
No, it's gone.
Mid lane, mid lane is really fun. So Echo, basically what he wants to do is just shove, shove shove shove shove shove shove, you just purple shove, purple shove
and basically you're just trade HP and the shield that you get off your W to clear away as quickly as possible.
You can't stop the Azir from hitting you so you don't bother, you basically just throw his off into the wall and you push, Mickey?
It's just gonna be a little weird damage.
But basically the idea is that you reach a certain point where your Q one shots cast the minions.
I wish I could remember what that point was, there was a very specific AP threshold that you reached.
Once your Q was like level 4, and once you have X amount of AP, I used to know it's loose by a lot of echo, I don't anymore.
But the point is that you reach this like crazy levels of waveclair.
Assuming he is going for the basically burst made version.
There is, of course, the on-hits version, which he could do, which is more of the dusk and dawn.
You play more for basically just hitting on your opponent a lot.
Does Halo Plays change whether he's down for one or the other?
It doesn't change it, because your goal is to proc your passive as quickly as possible anyway.
So Halo Plays just always contributes.
Electric Q is generally better with the burst version, so he might be playing more of the on-hit side lane thing.
Do you say the static shift of dusk and dawn is a positive thing?
I don't, nope.
Alright, well, and Bade now coming through from Lensis.
Steens gets the smite, and Fleshy is here. Mickey's trying to come across from the side as well with a magical journey out. Fleshy just walks out of, well, port, I guess, technically, of any future danger.
That control ward is still up, and will continue to spot Steens.
Yeah, I mean, it's completely off guard. Of course, Fleshy, Fleshy, Fleshy.
I mean, both Fleshy and Fleshy.
What my point was, that Flashy lost his flash in order to get that control ward, simply because
he's not having any pots, putting himself in such a dangerous position. Magical journey
once more will get him to safety. But, yeah, it's paying off. His vision score is stacking
up to say the least.
True.
This is true.
This is the most important stat.
Shivana level 6.
Goes in, gets the fear, off to the dragon to set now, looking for the chase. Now
with a knockback wonder flashes forward and the cleave not going to be enough
there's not knacko flashes away okay wonder showcasing the strength of the
shivana in line once you get that little six you got a lot of damage Mickey
it flashes over the wall
this shuttle crap links the upgraded smite Yoppa might need to flush out of this
one but she doesn't have the chimes for the slow from the auto so the
The end schemes will just get to the level of 6, Leader has his ultimate, leveled up.
But it isn't going to need to use it as human as it can't get as much damage down as he wants.
There he goes!
Jumping in exchange for the ultimate and gets the time to wind the back onto human.
So this is part of the reason why Echo can be considered quite a good matchup into the Azea.
You do still get poked out in laning phase, it can be difficult sometimes,
I mean especially now that you have no mana to really contest the wave.
But especially in side lanes as he really struggles to deal with an echo that'll just stick on your face and just do a ton of damage.
So again, SK, they do have really strong side lane threats.
I think, Shyvana, it looks like he's going for the Trinity Force build.
So he's going for Bruiser rather than AP.
Could be Dusk and Dawn.
Yes, Medic. It could be Dusk and Dawn.
I'm just giving options.
I think logically we can agree he's very likely going Trinity Force.
No, because he built Dusk and Dawn in one of his solo queue games.
That's true.
One that game, and he didn't win the game with Trinity Force, therefore confirmation bias implies...
And the Ruby Crystal also doesn't tell us anything.
No, it does not!
And he's still grasping all of those games.
I'm streaky.
You know what? Fair enough. We still don't know yet what he's known as.
When does Rain and his build parts of a mystery wrapped in an enigma?
Yes.
Ready?
Yeah.
We'll side salad with a torchlight.
Say the kung fu pattern approach again.
I do love it.
I like seeing new champions on the Rift and Shyvana wasn't that strong until this patch and now seems to have risen in prior a little bit
I don't think we can say that after all she's been picked more than right up
Sorry
sorry
That's my that's my that's your benchmark
So it's an incredibly high priority. I said she was rising in priority
I guess going from zero to one is in fact rising in terms of your percentage.
Yeah, I feel like this is a great example of fudging the stats to tell us.
I've learned from Chapman.
Alright, alright.
One of the great things about this control board, we've explored the fact that it keeps spotting schemes,
but also because of the grand starfall, having it that deep
gives you so much information about where you need to play as a bot lane or as a support in these situations, right?
Grand Saffl, really you know that you can't step further forward because of the risk of that Hathien Ultimate coming in.
Kleshy and Karzy came back away a little bit.
And Lysus trying to get across here. Lita once again has that push in the mid lane.
Looks like Timewinder is getting the tool clear out on that wave.
The skeeings takes another Scuttle Crab.
You know he's low.
Yeah, yeah, let's watch so
Right, so this blasting on plus Ampto seems to be more than enough
But yeah level eight so level seven gives you the fourth point in your queue and then you basically just one shot the wave and then it's just like
Distreely annoying
Because he just can't clear the wave as fast and so theta always gets pro and then the cool thing is if you try to
You know how it's quite a break doesn't want to use it
I'm gonna be in going straight back into the clutches of humor so just flashes away instead wonder dragons descent
Dragon's Descent doesn't get the fear, Grand Sampo comes out, those skis look for the Shurebolt, Chase as Wanda goes in with the Ember strikes, but tanks the tower.
Oh, Anak Naka survives on basically no HP as does Wanda, but this is here Wanda can't escape his clutches.
Shurebolt out from the skis again, trying to chase out the Jarvan, will manage to do so, wants to get this wave crashed in as soon as he can.
And Naka might just stay around and flash you on his way across, Skins.
Skins is gonna agree.
No way.
Skins is gonna agree, he just needs one spit.
Okay, now we have to flash.
I think he's gonna die.
Oh, good dodge though.
He's gonna get slowed by that order, attack him by that cover, and then flash you and take the kill.
It was a good dodge on the 10-perfecto.
Sure.
I mean it was a good dodge.
Unfortunately, that's really just bad luck.
Oh god, Randa.
Yeah, that's fine.
His E doesn't do any damage. His E won't kill it.
He's actually put a second point in his...
Oh.
He's going Dusk and Dawn, isn't he?
He's going Dusk and Dawn.
Yup. Okay. The second point in E is actually kind of on David away.
Yup. Dusk and Dawn...
He's really going to come online.
He gets that item, Betty.
Have another look at this playtop.
I wonder if he gets the fear here.
Oh, you're right. Yeah. No, that's just a shred of misplay.
Not connecting that fear.
They would have easily gotten that kill, actually.
Yup.
That is a pretty big misplay there for Wanda, and then it just gets worse, because Lensis arrives, flash EQ.
Lensis doing great work in this early game, gets the gank into mid lane, gets the flash out, rotates top, gets a kill, and then Flashy making the rotation up towards the top lane as well.
I mean this is just crazy from skin.
This means it's just like that has to get something back right, wants to try and fish for a Q, and instead ends up losing his life for it.
Yep.
And Flashy we really have to pick up that kill.
Last time we saw Shivano in the LEC, do you know who it was when he played it?
It was Wanda.
It was! Back in 2022 he lost to Finn!
He was playing play!
And because of that I feel once again perhaps a full-fung game.
I don't know, maybe Shivano was good back in the day, I don't know about it.
We've seen it twice.
Yeah.
Probably not.
Probably not.
The evidence would suggest, but I've kind of, I have to have, speaking with you for the last five minutes, I tend not to trust stats anymore.
I mean that's valid.
Drag it, a little bit of a late one, but Vitality is going to start this round.
I don't know if we've seen, there was Teemo we've seen twice.
What was it, Shyvana? Sorry, Betty, that was entirely incorrect, but incorrect fact for me.
Uh, ooh, you ought to be careful of bit lenses, because you don't actually have any mid-prior,
but it looks like that the Echo isn't moving.
Even with skins to the most gross, I think it's going to take too long.
Neeta goes in, time winded down, won't get the balance back on it.
Don't jump onto Fleshy here, who takes a magical Jenny,
Madison doesn't pull him out of it.
Yopu and Miky are going for it though.
Flashy igniting, no care.
Take a shrine, we'll save you from that in the curtain call.
Not even required.
Leader is going to a very time-winder.
So this is the way with the Coroner break.
You know, it dodges to the side of the pullback on that cue.
Vitality has set up a 1.5K goal lead
because of things like this.
Skeens overstank, Krazi picks up the kill.
I had no idea.
For SK, they get themselves a kill.
It's been so long since we've seen a support run at night, that I had to, you know, cut
the air.
And I was like, oh right, Mickey got the kill because of Ignite.
And yeah, so it's a bit unfortunate that Mickey gets that kill, and then they overstay
and Vitality end up punishing, and the kill goes onto the key thing, who will probably
have an infinity edge base, which some could say would not be ideal for SK.
I don't think it would be the perfect situation. If they could have drawn this up beforehand,
I don't think their artist rendering would have included Farsi being the squad ahead.
Now Lita is also going for the Dusk and Dawn build, based on what I can see, the components.
Decided to go for the early upgraded boots.
You know what's a really good candidate? Upgraded boots.
Upgraded boots? Yeah, exactly. The magic resistance shield is extremely valuable,
especially against Burstjam, so...
I like the response there from Jim and I, just grabbing the boots himself.
Leader doesn't have the front of right now.
The shield from the parallel convergence goes back in with a no time wonder, then dashes away.
Wanda comes in and the dragon is here for the fight. Steamsnipes over the spear.
I mean it's a nice roll from Wanda, but the top lane is going to lose a lot.
They're going to use this as an opportunity, oh no, they're not going to start because the gloves are actually already being started.
Wanda will not steal away any of the gloves.
And Vitality stood just ultimately getting more on the map, a 2.1k gold lead, Nak Nakko, with a very healthy advantage in the top lane.
Grubs, eh, yeah. Okay, Vince is deciding not to stay for all three. He's happy with two for now.
He's going to move back out towards his box side. So overall, more advantageous game.
We look back at the play in mid. Leena doesn't have his ultimate available. The arrival of Flashy means that, hey, we can actually chunk lead around, move the force back to base.
but a little today suspect the roaming dragon from top left no one expects the
ganking Shyvana, that's correct
You know it goes back in with a crown of red humanoid with a good end for a survive forces leader back with a chewable flash
You know we can't get the damage down SK the last couple of kills in this game
That was very very close
But
Eskies able to find out play
Ooh, he's also close.
Lynx is going in. Magnus on the left.
Kha'Zee tries to rush right, but Mickey gets to kill again!
Starfall in by skins. He's going to chase.
They're looking for the slowest Lynx, with that full shot.
But the good cataclysm is a black and red combo.
That's first Lynx's and Fleshy out.
That's three kills in a row for SK.
Yes, Kha'Zee dies.
SK don't have to give up anyone.
And the gold swings once again.
So now we're getting a little bit loopy.
I think Glossonous Greaves breaks the AD carry thing by the way, is Linsus? Oh, he flashed
a twitch!
Oh, no!
That is unfortunate. That is very unfortunate. Yeah, things that could have gone better.
Yeah.
Sorry, I'm sorry.
Yeah, that's all good.
Yeah, Glossonous Greaves breaks our overlay.
Yes, it does.
Yes, it does.
We look back at this play, Nicky, really good response.
Great damage initially from Karzy, doesn't connect the Q,
the barrier, keeping Yoppa alive,
but then Nicky traps Karzy underneath the tower
with his ulti of his own.
The fourth shot, nearly doing enough damage
to secure the pick on a fleshy insert,
hitting onto Linsus,
who then has a nice outplay to get him away to safety.
Unfortunately for Yoppa, he overstays,
well, he doesn't need Presses B,
he just Presses B in a spot that Linsus can vanish.
And then there's a trap there.
I really don't think Linsus kills if that trap isn't there.
Ok, flesh into trap, at least I'm not the only one inting.
Oh my god.
I'm flesh into trap.
What about these guys of water abuser?
Do you see any water abuser?
That's kind of what I heard.
I think Jopu was winking as he was in base from his water.
Oh, that's a good analysis.
I know he's a shop abuser. He's a water abuser.
New tech has been added to the vocabulary. Okay.
Have you seen the Xerath tech?
You get the enemy low, and then you, if you're low, you walk back to your tower and you type at them, like so lucky.
And then they start to type back and you just ult at the three targets.
They can't move because they're in the middle.
Okay, died. What were you going with that? That's a good one.
And if you want to get the ultimate expires there, dusk and dawn complete!
For Wanda and for Leader. Wanda has that dragon's assent, that red bar underneath means he has his ultimate available.
Narko has just been left to his own devices, he's not knocking through these towers.
Wanda does not have his teleport, nor does Leader, so Narko's going to get at least plates on this tier 2, probably more.
Right, so I'm just trying to contest around this, since the Temp of Fate does not connect, and Mickey is going to hex-flash out.
Um, but the enemy Jace is quite fed.
Yes.
Uh, he has a 1.6K gold lead.
Leader, don't drink.
Don't drink from your water, Leader.
Okay, that's not what's the way.
Listen to how much mana.
Don't just the flag and drag.
No, flash the cataclysm.
This is his flash once again for the Jarvan.
This game is spotted out by Fleshy.
He's credit.
He's only got a 1-2-0 score.
You've been roaming a bunch this game.
It's this thing where he can.
Well, if they're not going to be enough from Leader there, as more places secured, your base is interrupted.
By Tatsu, they're really putting the pressure on the map right now.
They did lose that dragon, but still, in a fantastic spot, as human road continues to push TP from Leader like they're going to come through.
No, they're just going to... Oh yeah, okay, I was going to say, they're going to lose this tower if they don't TP.
They might lose it, even if they do. Because Naka was here, and he begins to chip away at it very quickly.
time when it comes out from leaders, he dashes forward, does manage to force away the vitality mid-top.
I think he was a very cool champion.
Yeah, I'm sad we don't see him more. There was an interview about assassins, mid-assassins not being the meta that much anymore, and I do miss them.
Mid-assassins were a lot of fun to watch.
Yeah, well, we'll see if the leader can have some impact on this echo.
He's known as the meta changer. I know that like if he's gonna have impact on the echoes all around the world
Like fake it now is gonna be up time to bring out my echo in my area potentially
well
We'll see I guess if I only respond
I thought you're gonna go down the we'll see if this echo makes other people play echo move
That's not where you went with the tent with fake landing onto your for Mickey already down to a third HP
The Yoppa gets taken out by a hedgehog. Good flash, Nautilus in finding as well.
Yoppa tries to walk away, McCard escape, Magnus almost a lintus.
Mikhail gets him out of it and he's going to dash away.
Skeen's going in as well, but Lee McCard escaped wonder.
He runs in and he's like, no, I'm out of here, walks away.
His vitality collapsed on the topside and I'm full kills.
Yeah, full quick kills as well. Vitality.
Sier moment to unleash and they just pick apart SK.
very quick kills the hell is going to be secured no juggler means no smite but
knock-knock we're going to do the work is top is being pushed in mid is being
caught escape trade a mid tower to the very least get something back but hey
fleshy congratulations hitting 500 assists in the LEC I think he's going a
lot especially since joining this vitality roster but that's going to be
another tower going away on vitality 4.5 K the gold lead 20 minutes in we look
back at this play and really never mind we don't have time because vicky is dead
right now we can go into the real world thank you all for this yeah well as much
she's in danger yes magical journey the route is with the deadly flourish no
dragon descent yet grandstaff all their investing they are investing double
binding but he has nothing he's got nothing man this one day gets his first
kill of a game first kill on shabana for four years in the LEC
Good, why do you have to phrase it like that?
It's true.
Humanoid.
And Pristavite, Narko here as well.
Aegis assault. Narko trying to keep Blascoe in and does exactly that.
I mean, Vitality are really starting to snub all this game now.
As they keep getting caught out of position.
And it's getting quite challenging, I would say, for Ascae.
He's looking for Narko, deadly close to after the follow-up.
follow-up. Curtains open, but Linsus is here to block alongside Karzy. And then I'm not
sure we'll just be able to walk out.
Are they diving bot lane?
Oh, no they're not.
When they went in with the dragon's ascent, then Humanoid didn't even have to flash,
so I think he just walked away from it.
Okay, a bit of burn damage thrown down onto Humanoid.
Wanda hasn't reached full power yet, but he's getting there.
What is full power?
I wish I could say I knew how this is comp scaled, but the Shibana I don't
have the data on.
It has scaled.
It actually does.
Passive is stale male
Leader kind of get away. Yeah, it's all yeah corner breaks and he's probably dead net
So even with the time why they can't escape good
It's a 6k leap of vitality and they're playing met a check to your blind face
Blind trust happened only for heretics and then they broke it. I see
Now I have eyes wide open citizens
I see. Well, yeah, this game is going to have 22 minutes in when nearing a 7k gold lead for Vitality.
And, I mean, they've only lost a mid-tier one, Dragon Spawning in 10 seconds.
Vitality have the numbers avanted, but they're actually basing because they decided to steal enemy jungle camps instead.
But, hey, look at that. Humanoid now has three completed items.
The leader doesn't even have his second finish yet.
I'm not quite sure how that happens because like it was very even in mid-lane and that
humanoid just has...
I suppose, yeah, they did actually, yeah, you're right, no they did just start killing
everyone, that is crude.
Power is going on to global core.
Yeah, I think the killing enemy champions probably contributed a little bit more.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
Okay, wonder.
Show us what you've got.
15 on the shavanna.
16 might be the power spike, Debbie.
possibility when it comes out
Okay, both the way
Ember strike, Ember strike
When you get two of them in your normal form
Not three
Currently he's got this Vissage on
And the Alexstrasza
What he needs
is another Evoca to buff him up
Like an Augmentation
He's obviously Devastation of Evoca
If you get an Augivoco in here
With that Ebon Might
You're saying a lot of words and I have no idea what it is
No, that makes sense.
Like all of the 35 plus stuff?
Good stuff, okay, got it.
If you can in the audience, understand exactly what I'm saying.
How can you call it nerd stuff, dude?
Man, you're addicted to lost time.
Ah.
It's different, okay?
Why?
Because there's not a stirrer type against lost time.
It's not enough people play it.
There was one cheering about that.
I think it was just one or the person who got played there.
a mini died and they won more. Yeah well because Vitality at this point has just kind of taken control of the whole map.
They can try to just do whatever they want and at the moment they don't want to force a Baron.
Apparently they can't because Mickey goes to the crash down, flash away from Rinsus,
human again chased out by Lidia as well, he wouldn't need the tower dragon to stand, oh he flies over,
and survived by the Kremlin, by Krasnolina and Zybulod was able to escape, not away though from a deadly flourish in the trap.
Where's she now in the middle of SK? SK have come alive with any!
I told you, but I hope they can't quite do anything that they want.
SK stacked his floor on the both sides of the map and they forced to fly.
Humanoid also seemed to learn in that moment that you can't ult this Jopana dragon away.
Yeah, I think we won that one.
In fact, Unstoppable Dragon is in fact unstoppable.
The funniest thing to me about that sequence was Linsus.
Flash is over the wall to get out, comes back in, realises the fight is still on, oh now he's healing in!
F goes in, onto Mickey here, the Yopper, killed off by Kazi!
And Mickey needs to try and run, there's no panic listening for Linzus,
but there is enough knuckle and even with a good shadow and strike,
Linzus is still able to kick up that second kill.
Yeah, so after SK find picks Vitality immediately find two of their own and onto Yopper!
Yopper?
Yopper!
All the people as Baron is now alive, so...
One to TP, yeah, but it was only fleshy there. Yeah
I think Baron's gone, buddy. I agree, but like, you push side, you know, TP to Baron, sir.
They're already dead. Like, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
I've been TP'ing for 20 minutes, okay?
At some point we need a DNR in here, there's only so much of general in we can inject.
Yeah, of course there's a R-Liner SK, I eliminated from the LEC playoffs as they just, they can't win enough.
They only have this game, they're serious.
Yeah, and you might sit there and think, what, hang on.
And now they could do it with the three wins.
They're sitting there being like, yeah, exactly, how come at three wins they can't and it's basically just due to the...
They've lost two games.
Yeah, it's the individual, the win-moss record and all that stuff.
Wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, on the flank.
A dragon's attention to the fear, gets the characters about as well.
The Karzy immediately cleanses out from the fear, curtains open.
Karzy getting jumped out by Wanda.
The hand for shield from the lock, and the Karzy got a killing spree.
Wanda got a killing!
In the end, Lina joins up, and there's a two-for-two exchange.
As a top in the support of Loss for Scare, Yumano dives in, stunned up.
The end of the fight goes basically in the wrong direction.
The humanoid is now taken out by Dalacy.
Will take another tower.
It was a 4v5 in SK's BAVA.
And they did actually pick up an extra kill.
So it was a 2 for 2.
It was a basic in one fight, because Vitality
would get the tower, and the humanoid said, not on my watch.
This is something that she would not be able to do.
Time might have just short.
H is a sort of well-played by Skins,
but Nagnaka gets the nut back on Zolida.
And Nagnaka, who wasn't there, now is 4-0-4.
Enemy's not found.
That's going to be another tower with Vitality
end up swinging that skirmish in their favor.
A skein's doesn't quite have the damage to secure that kill.
So the targeting on the Karzy looks very promising.
This bodyguard comes through from flashy
to prevent that last shot from connecting onto Karzy though.
Karzy does everything in his power
to take out the Shyvana.
But then, leader, picking up that pick
as it ends up being a double kill for Karzy
to the two and then you realize that
we ball completely fumbles,
does technically get the summoners out from the upper.
it ends up costing him his life so remember human i did have a 2.3k gold lead he does not
anymore yeah because he has a 2.1k gold lead now true and i've got with 2.4k ahead and his built
new item alert what takes like a sort it's the same i don't know i was gonna say it's not new
it works differently on spell effects on abilities yeah do you just say it applies
It's not static, it's energised, as I'm saying.
It gives you lethality and then does a burst of damage after giving you the lethality, which is nice.
Wanda, goes unstoppable, and then is stopped on the other side of it.
Now it's going to chase down fire lenses to have as much damage as you'd like, I feel, Wanda, in this situation.
I think he would have liked magnitudes more.
Yeah, he did bang that.
But hey, split pushing in the top lane, coming through from Lida, level 17 on the Echo, he's doing his best to split push where he can.
The problem is, Vitality said, okay, go ahead, we'll push Bart.
Well, Yoppa with a good route, Wave almost cleared out, Kerlin Core comes out as well from the gym.
Humanoid's stung with a shattering strike, mid-tempered bait will stop him from now, Humanoid there with an empress divide back into there, yeah, Mickey.
I mean, he did delay the push, but not for too long as Kazi now can step up with his rapid fire cannon, auto down the tower.
They didn't stop the port that they could not stop the port.
Stop the port.
Uh-oh.
We start the port.
I'll have the port and I'll have the go.
Oh, goodness.
I think that's going to be an inhibitor.
And NACMACO was able to get top lane in time.
Because now it's just LIDA and Yoppa versus four members of Vitality.
They've got a journey over to the mid lane.
They've got a wave.
A little one, but they do have one.
That's a perfectly average wave, though, but it's fine.
They'll take the tower, they have another wave there to back it up,
so that will be inhibitor alongside it.
Goldlee will extend to 9.9 thousand,
cusp-ing towards that 10 thousand mark.
Double digits for Vitality is their lead.
30 minutes in, I think the game has been over for about 27 of those.
I would not say that's the case.
Okay, for like 15, that's a bit dramatic.
I think the fight over Harrow pretty much cemented it, when Vitality got a 1 for 4 trade.
That was when things kind of went very wrong very quickly.
Now, yeah, I wish I could tell you on ways in which SK can come back into this game if
it's going to happen.
Vitality basically have to int for the next 5 minutes and then...
I even then, man.
No, no, no.
So, you have to understand, 30 minutes plus, that time is now 40 seconds plus.
So a single int can bring SK back in terms of golden direction.
So it would probably be like a 7k difference at that point.
Yeah, but then like, the longer the game goes, the less items matter.
That is true, yeah.
That's what I mean.
The longer the game goes, the number of ints reduces that you need.
Mickey's taking that to heart.
Yes.
Yeah.
Unfortunately Vitality is the team that you need to be into.
Oh, humanoid gets tempered.
And Alida goes back to the corner.
Almost kills Kazi!
Can't quite get the phase dive back.
Yeah, it's no real escape for him in this situation.
That's Curtains for Jyn and Curtains for Escape.
TP coming out for Wunderers.
He tries to get back to defend the base, but him and Skeens, I do not think,
have the firepower to do so.
Now, Nageros is going to ask me for a 1v1.
Oh, he feels good, man.
He's not doing that.
Okay, jumps in.
That's awful. There was one Karzy.
Gets one kill and gets killed for it.
And Escape will be finally wiped out.
Vitality and Convincing Flash!
Oh, he's out of the game in there, 31 and a half minutes, making it back up.
You can be back down one more time if you want in the get 2-7-7.
The beat of the scoreline in the end, the Nexus goes down
and Vitality continued their winning ways here in the early season.
Starting strong here in Game 1.
Clean performance over a 5-1-13 scoreline for Lincis, 10 kills for Kazi.
He remains undefeated on the K-Land display.
So let's say what the best cast to say on the performance.
I mean, we wanted fun.
Fun we got.
There was a banger.
I have so many questions.
Man, that was everything I could hope for in this game.
That's all I wanted.
To bed look from start to finish.
That's the best game I've seen in a long time.
Like, I was having so much fun.
There was just so much happening here.
I mean, I was completely lost to be honest,
because everything was happening here.
Well, man, was it fun?
I don't know. We had everything from highlights to the lowest of lowlights.
Yeah.
Everything in between.
It just felt like everyone was like,
we know that this is just going to be pure chaos.
So let's just sail nicely into it.
It kind of started off OK.
And then just...
Did it?
The proverbial thing hit the fan.
That's what happened in the middle of this.
That was some serious League of Legends that we got.
It looked like an LST game,
and then it looked like my solo queue.
I'm very low elo, guys, just so you know.
And then back to LCS as well?
Like, Shyvana, first, it's the first time we see the champion.
What do we think of it? What do we think of what he does?
I've had a bunch of watch pros tell me that it wasn't really working.
But I don't know, like, wonder, tried to make some things happen, but I didn't go for all.
So, if you want to know what Shyvana does, that's it.
that was it sorry I blinked
no you're gonna see it again
here it goes
that's it I mean I'm sure we're gonna see
I mean we're not gonna see it
but did she do it?
she probably did it a couple of times
so that clip was the perfect
for video for a little Timmy that just
comes home from school and he's like
wow there's a new champion release
it's a dragon it goes like
and all that stuff and you're like
much fun playing it. And then little Timmy goes into a game and that's what happens.
And that's what happens? Yeah. Nothing. The dragon fantasies there, it doesn't do anything,
just runs forward and then nothing. Dragon go brrrr. But like Winter had fun at least
and it's a great call back to all the times back in the day back when he was actually
with G2 and back when he was playing with Junkos and Junkos is the one who tweeted
actually that in 2019 he won there actually really like Shyvana and he
was talking about the champion referring it to the Shyvana playing it
against the shine screams so there you go and this one went just as well as he
did against the shawty everyone is complaining all the broadcast uses
29,000 reference so many times.
But this game has come to an end!
But Yankos is coping, and it's like,
Shivala did this and that, and he knew exactly
what we were going to get.
Talking about Wander, you saw it earlier,
but I think it's time to revise
one of the oldest memes we have
back from 2019 again as well.
What is going on?
I think it's one way to summarize this game.
So guys, make some sense
about what we saw here today.
It was the most Japanese-action game I've seen in a while.
Because it was like you have this play where Yop was flashing to die underneath tower
Just after seeing Karazhe flashing to die underneath the tower
And then like, what is going on?
Bro, he was about to blow that water, did you see?
He was like getting ganked in the meantime
It happened so many times
And this guy, he's really bad at playing battles about the spawn
I cannot take that of yourself, I'm fine
Yeah, of course he's out of time!
He's done my escape!
He's mad at it!
Bear in mind that one of these teams is playing for top four players.
So, let's play.
Humanite dashed into Fleshy's bird hold at the end of that game.
He just dove into the temperate and was like,
Ah, guess my bot lane.
That game took me places.
Yeah, we forget that.
The game is fun sometimes and the game is fun even if you play professionally even if you're playing for playoffs and top four
It doesn't matter. You can still have fun. I think that's the bottom line here
If we have to highlight one player it's hard because I feel like knack knack. Oh, how to read a good game
You may not have a good game the fight
The fans left
For the fans, you know who has the most fun the guy who carries and the guy who carried was
I thought that he was great. He set up the early game and the mid game. Extremely
worth short, not going to kick gold up and everyone ended up going to kick
gold up. But you need to appreciate Tosa, going to your jungler because he was
everywhere he needed to be this game. He had an absolutely fantastic game and
honestly I think it's sick to see because I have really been impressed by
Linsus this bit. Like obviously this is a weird game to try to talk about it
but I do think this man has been absolutely phenomenal for Vitality and I
really do think that he's the reason that Vitality stepped up as much as
they had this bit, he's been dictating the pace of the early game, constantly keeping
the enemy jungler in track and just making it so much easier for what it's already strong
lanes to just elevate themselves 10 times.
And you look at the gold graph, like we forget that this was a stomp and almost 10k gold
lead because of how messy it was, but for me it's another testament of how vitality
thrives in chaos and how they control chaos, whatever happens.
Did he try?
Because I don't think...
I mean, I suppose yet.
They won't be like, I'm watching this game.
They get the snowballing that need, they're already in control.
I'm just having flashbacks to Karzy going underneath that bot lane.
That's all the slippy to my head right there.
But Dagger, go take a trip down memory lane.
Vitality of old, when they would do this
and the gold deed would start going up,
what would be the one thing they would do?
They would throw it.
And that's where every Vitality's anxiety comes from, from the fact that they would get these leads at 10-15 minutes
and they throw it to the dumpster, but at the same time, this is what control chaos is all about when it comes to Vitality
because they make messy stuff happen, but they're still in their control outside of the little oopsies that happen every now and then.
But they play along with it. It still makes us feel like they are in control.
Yeah. And I mean, this is why, again, we are looking at the Maz at top 40.
I think at this stage they very much earned the right, it's just a case of if they can now get those wins and put themselves there, but yeah, it is bad luck.
And I'm down for more, I can't wait to forgive you.
Sometimes teams are not like the others and Vitality is serving so far, we're gonna take a break, I think we all need it.
Go grab a drink, two, maybe, we'll be back.
What?
I think you should have a break.
Have a break. Have a KitKat.
I love it, baby, cause I'm the cussion.
I don't even want to talk, talk, we're one talk.
Whoops.
One more.
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, mate.
It's fine, relax.
I've got this.
I've used and used and used and used and experienced.
Everybody's going, ooh, that's funny.
There we go.
Look at that.
What are you so worried about?
Awful.
I
Yeah.
So clean, I fight out money, money, money, everybody is feeling in the bling, like a chandelier hung on my chest
Then I'll get it for free, cause I'm simply the best, I see deposits every day when I'm breaking a sweat
Minds a line, trim my girls, come take every request, thank you
I...
And those are the highlights from game 1.
We did have a Shyvana in an Echo.
There were a lot of highlights.
Yeah, sadly they didn't do as much as I wanted them to do.
No, but hey, there's always opportunity for game 2.
That is true.
I talked to Fleshy outside.
Oh yeah.
in the beginning and spicy and he said I want to but probably not.
I suggested Tom Kempch Static Shift, not Steel.
Stop! Okay, Medic, you need an intervention, okay? Static Shift isn't good, okay?
I know, but it's not good. It's not fun.
It is fun.
It is fun.
It is fun.
No.
Who used to tell me what I find fun or not?
I feel like that if I take a consensus, most people would say you talking about
a static shift wouldn't be fun.
If you took a consensus, perhaps. If you took a consensus, then people have already
agreed on something.
Again, I feel like I was correct in my purpose.
I'm just saying.
If you mentioned static trip one more time, I swear to God.
What are you going to do, Leeds?
I haven't figured it out yet. I'll figure it out.
I'll mute you mid-team fight.
Oh, do you want to play by playing this game?
No.
You did play by playing the other day.
Take this.
Let's log in.
Log in, mate.
Log in.
No-turn ban from SK in a game that doesn't matter to them.
Vitality gonna ban out Varus and Nautas. Ash, take it away by SK.
Expect to see things like the Ryze ban, although that did get through drop.
It's the first rotation, last game.
If I'm Vitality, I'm probably looking towards that Ryze, I'll be honest.
Could leave it up for Humanoid, but I think it just gives so much map mobility at the moment.
It makes a lot of sense to ban it.
Why is... is this what logging is?
I bet he'd take it seriously, please.
I'm confused by Nako's mogging. Is that what this is?
This is Oromax, I believe.
I see. What's the difference?
With Oromax, you need to mute officially.
I see.
With mogging, you don't need to mute.
You need to mute? What does Pokemon have to do with this?
You wouldn't understand.
Okay, got it.
Ezreal is going to be the...
It's from the Kokobi, actually.
Oh, okay, got it.
They're Kokos.
Okay.
Karma's probably going to be the pairing alongside this.
this SK with Orianna taking off the board what are they thinking as the priority I mean rise is still
available yes kaiser an old score answer into Ezreal because often they would argue when you get a free
lane because Ezreal can't punish you as hard I feel like that's not as true anymore I feel like
Why is there this toe?
Why is there this toe?
This is my serious point.
Very good point.
You usually see this pair of things that have good cc in the mid lane.
So I'm looking at aries.
I'm looking at Taliyah.
Also true.
They're all great options, yes.
For vitality, you could look towards your support right now.
It's good to leave the support.
If you want it.
Yeah, it's probably a calm as in, if I'm being honest.
Are you required to buy lore?
required to by law. What? To be honest. Isn't it more highly empowering? I'm pretty sure.
You're not allowed to lie on this. Sorry that wasn't serious. It's always the Nami
Betty. It disengaged for the Vi. Although she can just use these synthesis. Shunxiao
locked in. Now for Vitality. You did good call on that one. Betty by the way. Solid
jungle please so now it's probably more less is open no it's not hope you're
right it's not we can then I'm sure I like to look on just give like the car
new always so go because you always want follow up
petty is all dizzy I have too much fun with your car so with you I can't hold
it yeah because he likes it when he has someone to follow up so by going in
the season says we can't can then jump in there and you can already see SK
are looking for a dive comp. That's true that they are. Vitality have some good
disengage, they've got area control as well with the person down.
And we can see some top lenders banned out, Renekton taking away. Right, yes.
Banning Renekton usually indicates that SK want Ambeza. That's a positive thing.
Yeah, so how did Vitality respond to this? Do they care about the Ambeza?
right now they are banning top lenders themselves, banning away the rumble.
I don't think they would want to steal the ambassador. With Jace already gone, I'm thinking
about what they could pair alongside. Nah maybe? Yeah, I was thinking,
I was wondering about Jax as well. I don't think Jax really aligns with what they want to do,
I do, but I'm lucky it was a very good Jax.
Sion banned away by SK.
Oh, you know what's good?
It's Timo Top.
Sion and Renexa.
No Renexa, it's actually a terrible entity, Rozal.
I'm under threat of surgery here.
OK.
Renexa's predator is an attack modifier, right?
Yes, it's done.
It can be blinded.
Oh, there's the rise, man.
Okay, so we've had the leader chance and we've had the Yoppa chance.
Where are we going? This to me feels like a leader pick from Yoppa.
Could be an R.
Leap top lane for counter.
R.E. makes a lot of sense.
Yes.
R.E. the block, I think we're all very, very good.
You are like heavily investing in the pick dive style play.
I think it does a similar thing.
Okay, Anivia
Is this uh, you're gonna have to hit you know, is this the career first for leader it can't be right?
You must have played this split. I think
Hasn't played at this split
Is a crew first
What he's got a case of legends at least
career first so what world you might oh interesting the Ari I mean for what I've
been watching I thought he first and yes that's true therefore Ali's good into
any but it's not normally it seems that ice birds against fire foxes a good
point yeah but every time I've watched this matchup like I feel like a
Nivir has been able to get pretty good advantages against the R.E.
It kind of like, when the wall comes down and almost forces are all felt.
But there's another we were talking about.
Oh, okay.
Ooh, this is nice compliments to the die.
Good knock-up setups from both the Bacchan and the Vi.
Wait a minute, it's Nivir top, god damn it.
I fell for it again!
How did I not know?
Of course we've been seeing Nivir top from Wanda.
me saying it's a leaders I'm a silly Billy so hilarious because I think if they
did swap it it would just be way better I mean yeah I guess we can get push
against an army I just can't quite match the way that the asshole gets just
just keep hitting the way the wind war is really annoying for Ari so wonder on
on his fourth Anivia top, fifth point all time, he's lost the last three. Can he make
it lucky number four? He's also got Joppa on his kaiser who's on an eight game
match right now. Yeah he's only played it three times and he's lost all three.
He's playing on SK dude. When they win it is...
Yeah I thought maybe one of his wins, one of his wins might have been on
an idea. No, no, no, no. Okay. Yoppa though, eight game win streak on the kaiser. Those are all EOLs, he
went like 17 and 7 on it. Of course his career is the first time you've seen him on it in the LEC.
Did you just say I think he went 17 and 7? I thought you didn't try and block,
say that was your own point, like you just pulled back from memory?
I was. And according to what happened in the world I did, very.
Uh, right. Don't let them behind the curtain.
Right, no, you're right. Yeah, no, no, no.
As you said, you'd think.
Would you mind if I check that?
Yeah, you can check it for me.
That would be great, actually.
Yeah, based on the information I've been provided,
Yoppa is, in fact, 17 and 7 on Kaisa in ERLs.
Pretty cool.
And he is, in fact, done an eight-game win streak right now.
Well, then we'll just...
So, yeah, there we are.
Taz is going exhaust on the Ezreal here
just to bring us back into game.
Sure.
By Taz to do lock top four if they win this game
because they will have won the series, SK already out, of course.
Talked to Flashy about it, he said he didn't know.
So no extra pressure, I think, on this series for this.
Sorry.
I was like, how do you lock top four if you win?
This is like, oh, do we?
It's cool.
OK.
So often.
I dare with them eyes, we're on playoffs.
No, but I mean, it's, you know, back in the day,
oh, Linsus on 100 games in the LSD.
Congratulations, Linsus.
Credit to him as a player as well, just because I think
that when we saw Vitality doubling down on their faith in Linsus,
a lot of us were skeptical, but he has really grown into his position,
and I think that he's in the conversations for top three junglers.
I've heard a lot of people arguing that he is the best performing
jungler of the LEC right now, which I see the argument, it's very fair.
Of course, we still have games left to be played next week,
but it's definitely understandable why he is in that conversation,
especially given that he's like he is that cornerstone for vitality when you've got such carry players like Kazi humanoid and that macro spread across
So if you need something to help bring all of that together
I think the synergy we've seen from lentus and fleshy has done a really good job of providing that for the roster
Yeah, I think the some level up from them the upgrade from both of those players has been
exceptional so far this split and as you say it's a little bit hard to really judge
individual player strength generally because of how our schedule is spread out.
Right? Like, this is the second to last series of the tournament.
We still have, like, G204 series. Oh yeah, of the regular season, sort of.
Canada as the tournament, you know, playoffs. It's not really, but I was
incorrect and you corrected me. Thank you for that. And now I'm just gonna shut up.
Oh, yeah. You don't have to. No, it's fine.
Don't want to be wrong. This is my contract.
You can't lie apparently.
Is it a lie if it's a lie of ignorance?
No, because you believe that you're lying the truth.
Oh, that's an ethical dilemma that we have to continue.
Isn't that philosophical one? Not an ethical one?
Ah, yes.
Again, I've lied twice!
Twice in a couple of moments.
What's great for you?
Yeah, that's very true.
You're picking on my pedantry.
Mickey, this is the grand entrance there.
Karzy trying to get the damage down.
Exhaust goes out.
Tycall of Blessing on Skazi is well.
He's very low and almost chased.
Almost chased one guy.
Opel just forcing his way through the exhaust.
Standing his ground and running out in the skirmish.
Now, Skeens doesn't quite connect the queue.
He keeps splashing around.
He does.
Are they going to dive?
The way...
Oh, they can take a shot.
I don't think there's a dive here.
Diving an army obviously dangerous,
because that's her natural habitat.
Well, a cross map is happening, and here's Lysus.
I mean how are you gonna get the bird down when because lightning tries to flash away good crystallize will keep
Linsons on the tower range and wonder manages to escape with the use of a summer
Well, it's a quick look at that top wave. I think it's fine for wonder
Leader getting some nice trades. Oh, it's less fine than I thought. It's okay. Let's go push into it
He's fine. It's fine. It doesn't get the enhanced damage from the force might already use that but then does have a second one
Drops it into Nakamako's back and Nakamako that can rebuild up that Mega Naba
Plinsus here will be spotted on this box. Yeah, this is a bit of a deep inbade
Skeets, oh god damn it's a splash over! Skeets just takes him!
Wow, the dancing boar is doing a lot of work. Mickey's up here as well, nothing to still have flash
The dive could materialize, so I'm not sure. Core with the grand entrance, flash flash was there
He has to flash away from that. I think he thought he could just dodge to the top side of it
But I don't have to escape.
Yeah, so if Skeens and Nicky make a play towards the top side of the map and it pays off, they get the flash out from Mak Mako.
What a hang on, is this worth it?
Oh, it might not be. Flash loss is short.
Wonder, come on, Twistalize. They still got the hop.
The waves are an awkward spot and there's no TP available for Mak Mako.
You can see that it's just slow pushing towards Wonder, so Farm is just being lost by Mak Mako and he can't approach.
This is a situation where he'd love his jungler to just come help and push out the wave.
His journal is on the bot side of the map.
So until he gets information as to where Vi is...
Mickey needs to get hit quickly.
Otherwise, a diet could very much happen in Yopi.
He's got no summoners.
Mickey is gonna be here in time.
He does have the flash, no heal for him.
The way he cleared out with that World Atlas.
Lita has gone shopping into a very specific store that only sells knives.
And he got himself four of them.
And a drink.
I would make a one-piece reference, but I've never watched the anime so I can't. Instead I can't make a killer bee reference.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, that looks like a killer bee atomization.
Okay.
Which you also don't understand.
No, they're native to Sub-Saharan Africa.
They are, but it's also more of a... it's a character in an anime.
Because he uses like seven swords in his fighting style.
If you want to be, not in keeping with the time, but in keeping with our generation, you could go General Grievous.
Okay, that is old-schooling. Yes, that's true. That is a Drent General Grievous build
Except he hasn't got an execution as Colin because then it would be a general Grievous
That's clever that is clever
Crab we're getting a fight for it level six
Who's gonna get it great cut onto fleshy who does have flash they're gonna chase on to him
Linsons manages to get this might down now because the guy will use it to knock leader background entrance
Leader uses an attack, see where the last breath,
Skeens goes back in, Linsen down, Leader follows,
Mickie's already dead, and Skeens in the middle of three,
shouldn't be able to get anything out of this.
Karzy Exhaust just to make sure that's how it's going to take three kills.
So that whole fight was basically decided on the fact that Yoppa wasn't involved at all.
He now gets level six, had he had it, this fight could have looked very different,
but Karzy and Flesh here already here at the fight.
Yoppa is here, but he quite quickly realizes,
This is okay, I can't understand this, I can't land any damage onto Linsus, he's also getting so much work out and then he just backs off, he realizes okay this game is already over,
but he goes in quite deep to try and get something back, Skins realizes there's nothing else he can do, so he has to try.
A beautiful bubble was landed onto Lider in the middle of that fight by Fleshy as well, so he really set up that play and Vitality found themselves, was that a 3 for 1 I think?
Yep, yes it was, I was having Skins giving up on the Scuttle Crab with an interesting decision, level 6 from Linsus, just having your ultimate there.
It was the difference in the fight, really. He could tank so much just because of the ult.
So maybe thinking that he couldn't win the... like, when becomes Lightning Audacious charge, smite, battle.
Now he tries to win a battle over this red buff.
Lead up.
A tip with an orb of deception.
Stacking up on those razor beaks. More distraction than anything.
As Skins uses that time to take away the red buff.
Yeah, I mean, it works, yeah. Good invade.
Skins playing off the cloud.
Leader try to fist bump with his team.
Did no one fist bump?
Oh my, no leader!
No one fist bump, that's a problem.
Left to fang anything.
You guys, Leader dashes in.
Here's the steal with Tempest. Q3, tornado knock up.
And so this is how Yasuo gets prior against the R.E.
She just can't quite wave because like he can.
It's very annoying.
Humanoid though, still doing a good job of last hitting.
Staying a little bit ahead in goal thanks to the assist and the kill he was able to get.
Dragon being contemplated right now.
Would you do it in this situation?
No, I think it's terrible.
Yeah, I agree.
Benekis, you'd never have mid-prior.
If leaders are like 50% HP, would you kind of is, I would consider it.
But...
And even then, you're risking like...
Niki's only just dinged over to 5, but a seasoned assist into a killer instinct.
It's a very quick collapse already.
Yeah, so I think both AD carries are kind of weak,
but I would give a small edge to the Ezreal.
He has to be there at the start of the fight.
Sure.
Which is harder for Karzy to manage.
He's getting pushed in on that offside.
He's talking about the three-ish lane for the Kaisen.
That's come true mostly.
Wallop into the Narvac and one didn't TP before he went into the egg.
He doesn't, uh, this isn't a kill though.
Wallop.
Stunned.
House.
Glacial Storm.
It's not a kill, but it's an egg drop.
Oh, might be. Get on our pistolise. Not quite against them all.
Flash away from the boomerang. Can't be slowed.
I still think Q-Auto-Auto would have been required, but maybe I misjudge how much damage the Q does.
I think it's also the slow from the boomerang.
No, but that's what I mean. So what would have happened was it would have been Q-Auto.
I think that wouldn't have been enough to kill.
And then the question becomes, would Macro have been able to get one more auto off?
That's a good question.
So, what's the name of your champion?
Winwall. Such an annoying ability. Very long cooldown. But still very annoying to play against.
Sound like you were trying to validate your Yasuo play to a friend there.
I am the Ahri player in this situation. And it is very annoying.
It is a very long cooldown, you know?
Oh, that's what you mean?
I'm just like my Edgeport champions, you know?
Yone, yes, you can CC him and he can dash back anyway, but you know, it's a little cool.
I don't like playing S1, I don't like playing against Yasuo.
Just an Aria-Carly knock-turn player.
Pretty much, yeah.
If I wonder what your main says about you?
It says that...
Yeah, I don't like what if I'd say it.
Micky, looking to see if he can get in with a ground entrance.
does get the knock up that's a dodger way from the activism was coming out of
fleshy no jackson having the last couple of minutes the schemes looks for the
chase he'll exchange
fleshy did flash away as well scared of the quickness
that's a right to be scared of wonder here as well wonder here that's a
collapsing old cease and assist tied away coming out as well that's a flash
He's got no TP, so they're just going to give Bot Wave over to Wunder. They're going to swap to top, maybe can test Grubbs.
I mean, they get the kill. Nice play there from SK. So Wunder roaming. Now two games in a row was caught by Taliyah's guards.
I'd love to think that the comms are very much like, uh, Nark Narka, where is the missing ping?
What is this bird doing in Manitoba, dude?
I mean, it's a- because he couldn't have played this any better, he reacts to the engage from Mickey, and then he flashes and dive.
Ooh.
Lead up.
Flashing away from the all-deception, getting chased there with a spear wash.
Ooh.
That part.
Lead a lift.
Good use of the refillable potion there, but Ezreal ult.
No.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, Ezreal ult.
Whoa.
Doesn't even interrupt his base.
Now that is Egy cool guy.
Yeah, that was very Egy cool guy.
I feel like it's already out of fashion by the time we learn it exists.
Probably you're right, but they still save six, seven.
No, I've heard that also when out of fashion.
That's gone now.
So it still happens, but it's a remnant of a bygone era of meanage, you know?
Yeah, now it's 10 plus nine is 21 or something, which is something that I remember so I
I think they're chewing for SK.
They're chewing for SK.
It's a sunny day here in Berlin.
Perhaps people haven't hydrated with enough different types of beverages.
Sorry, you've broken my mind. 10 plus 9 is 21.
I don't know what the mean is, man. I just know it's a meme.
We have become the boomers, you know.
Oh, 100%
Back in our day, it was just taking the hobbits twice.
What was that?
It was one of the unicorns as well.
Let's go to the magical mania, Charlie!
Yeah, that was the unicorn one.
But then there was Charlie bit my finger.
That was Charlie bit my finger, yeah.
And then the ultimate battle of ultimate destiny.
And then Chuck Norris, R.A.P., the legend.
Good times.
Okay, maybe we should get back to League of Legends.
I mean, right now we're waiting.
Nothing is happening, it's true.
We are just waiting.
We're waiting at 30 seconds until Harold,
and we are enjoying our nostalgia right now
as millennials.
Riggles Lantern.
Do you remember that?
Madrid's Blood Raiders.
Fun fact, Irelias used to build Riggles Lantern
because there was some sort of threshold thing
where when you cued minions
the Riggles would one-shot the minions
so you could insta-clear waves
with Riggles Lantern on Irelia.
That was the tech from the old days.
The days where you weren't limited
to items you could buy depending on your role.
You could just buy a jungle item.
Yeah, you could kind of buy...
What jungle lines back where the spirit of the elder lizards big ones lands on very much a jungle eyes. Yeah, but that's old old
Yeah, all right. I think the thing about is about to happen. Okay. Oh, Mickey exchange of places with lincis. You know, it's on the plank here
Not using a charm. Yes does get leader with it
Yes, the dash knock back with the crescent guard as well true shopper. I eat enough last breath from leaders
She would a type of wave coming out as well as human it goes in with his food. I said look mccasey
Both breakers will knock him up, he dashes across the wall but Joppa still takes him, he would have another very much flashes and uses it.
Both breakers not quite in range there from scheme for Joppa, gotta get himself the triple.
Now 70 and 7 scoreline is looking to be 18 and 7 now really.
Yeah I mean Joppa is becoming the carry for SK right now with a 1.6k individual goal lead.
This Kaisa is becoming scary.
SK with a healthy gold advantage, most of it sitting in their AD carry position, but looking
to bounce back here in this best of three.
You might wonder how Mickey got here, Unsealed Spellbook TP to award that has expired, and
then placed two wards around the red pit.
It's a game of changing places in teams between the two teams.
If you look at it on the flight, it looks really promising, lands the early charm,
but then this wing walker leader actually buys a lot of time, the Ezra ultimate
gets completely nullified, then the leader still gets his ultimate off, and he offers
untouched and now the damage largely just wears off, Kazi doesn't get... well he does get the E up
but he CCs thanks to the Vaultbreaker and it's not until after that the auto attack is already flying
through the air he's able to get that off which is too late so Yoppa secures an extra kill and
then he rounds things up by getting a triple. Well in the picture in picture leader went in with
the last threat didn't quite get the kill exhaust down onto Yoppa now Akravision's
going to eat him up as well and Kazi just takes the kill Yoppa feeling himself a little bit
Too much in the mid lane!
I'm just used to being exhaust, makes it much easier to land that bubble from Flashy.
Just like that Vitality adds a back with a kill of their own.
Bit of an overstep there from Yoppa.
AD carries are being caught on the mid wave.
It's becoming a trying true path, I would say.
Yeah, every great AD carry is being caught on the mid wave.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Every bad AD carry is also being caught on the mid wave.
Absolutely, absolutely.
It's one of those standard deviation perks, you know?
It's...
0 to 5%.
Ah, I could push up this next wave. 95-100%. Ah, I could put it up this next wave, and everyone in the middle is just like,
Hey, maybe I should back at this point. I don't need the gold from an extra wave.
That's a flash gone from Wanda, as Magnaco was lying and waiting in the brush, and his Mega Knot was about to wear off.
But he does get the ulti often time, and he catches Wanda unaware, so nice play there.
A lot of ADC stack on that, and maybe I'll reach six stacks.
Five. Five. Now six. Now six.
You were just in the future.
I was looking and I looked like I'm not getting it looked like at six from over here
Okay, but apparently it's a five now. It's six. Okay. Yes. Now's the six
But I can't tell my point. They look the same. I should have actually just looked at one of the
Yeah, I should have done that three close monitors
Everything I have it over. I have another one of them behind me. I have an overwhelming number of other
One is further away and I did in fact pick the worst one to figure out the number. Anyway dragon that is in three seconds
Yes, so, last time we said the fight was going to be at the Rift out, and it was not at the Rift out at all.
Yeah.
Are we actually going to see a fight at this dragon?
It doesn't look like it because they're just chomping to Mickey's HP.
I feel like Noah's nuances as well.
But, SK likes to define expectations.
That is true.
Where is he?
Yeah, Mickey's TPing now.
Okay.
So Mickey has the quickness, has the heal, going to dash in with battle dance.
Linz is still on the drink right now.
Charm on the Yoppa!
Linz has dived in immediately.
Yoppa would have flash cut the wall though and get himself out.
Linz falls!
Meanwhile, Lita's on the back line.
Micky will fall, but he did his job distracting the enemy team.
A last breath when Lita goes in with a still tempest.
Nankaku now knocked up as well.
The darts from SK have been absolutely sublime,
but they can't back up schemes at the end of it.
Nankaku well placed on the right side of that wall
to make it a 2 for 2.
Magen ends up not falling, Nacko uses his ultimate just to clear out the wave, but we're not going to connect.
I wonder how he would have walked away from this one for now, Yoppa recalling, can't really back up his teammate, he's on too low HP.
I wonder if he would have gotten himself out of harm's way.
So overall a 2 for 2, but the dragon isn't 4, so both teams need to get back out onto the map, and who will look to focus it down?
Now the leader's moving to a side lane, he wins this 1v1.
I didn't use the last breath at the first point.
Oh, he doesn't want to want to.
Uh, okay. I was wrong.
Wait, he didn't know.
Oh, it's because Lidia's not gone played first.
No, he's gone phantom done.
Oh, I'm not going to play it at all, Betty.
Yeah, I'm so used to that happening.
Oh, Mickey.
Oh, Mickey!
Last breath.
Knock, knock, go!
Tracks the house with them, yeets them away.
And the steal-temper's Q3 doesn't hit.
Knock, knock, go! Back in!
Oh!
Knock, knock, go with the outplay there.
Flashy on his way across as well, and Skeens is here to make sure Knock Knock can't go for anymore.
2v1, Flam's the outplay, very well played by Knock Knock, catches Lida completely off guard, and the dragon gets secured as well.
I sat here from Wanda, Flash was there for the follow up, Spirit Rush is available for humour, but he sighs he doesn't need it.
I mean, Eski now have the lane assignments that they want in theory, Wanda playing into the R.E, nice matchup for the Anivia as you just saw.
But, yeah, leader dying, not ideal.
He's going stride breaker, I think.
Unless I've completely forgotten how things build.
I mean, I'm pretty sure it's stride breaker too, but you know, sometimes the wealth of knowledge that we both contain.
Probably just, I had a build, man. It's not my thing.
It is stride breaker.
Okay, skins?
Yeah, should be able to walk away.
Yoko's stacking up against his mickey with the flank.
Oh, they're going, pressing guard as well.
Yoko, there, and there's so much damage down in this fight,
but a great knock-knock-o into the wall, up into the double.
One is going to get chased out, Yoko still opening up,
there needs to be another couple of autos, gets them onto that knock-knock-o,
and falls forward, you and I are on the chase.
There's the charm, and there's the kill.
Attality, cleaning it up for the two.
Well, like an incredible one-ball combo to come through from SK,
but then knock-knock-o at just the right time arrives to save the day.
What a huge meganar to throw four members of SK into the wall.
We'll look back in this engage, it looks so promising.
The flank from Mickey connects Charm on the two, the follow-up looks good.
And then look at this meganar, just as the lockup comes through, it's not enough.
Nak Nak-o, CC's the front line away.
Wanda being zoned out by Humanoid, then if Humanoid turns his attention onto the rest of SK,
connects the Charm, giraffes things out.
And Vitality win the fight, 4 for 2.
I'm just like that the gold swings into their favor three minutes on the next
Drake there is a baron up if either team wants to play for it but I think that is
gonna be left for a little while longer. Tharzy has gone, we man and Mune built here
on the edge, doesn't look like he's going for the double tier which is
something we have seen a little bit more in solo queue over the last few
days. Busken dawn on its way for Yoppa who does still have a substantial lead
over his enemy AD carry, 1.2k his advantage and if he gets to dusk and dawn he will really rip through vitality
It's a
Question has been the rest of his team delayed for long enough for him to actually have the time to do that
Very question
Thank you. I don't have an answer nor do I
Steal what I can say is that
Out of town is probably what the focus is
But I don't think she has any yet.
So there is a decent amount of standing gold, so I'm just trying to grab.
There's Ballane, a very deep push, comes through from SK.
I'm going to steal away some camps, they've got to be careful though.
They don't have full information as to where the enemy jungle is.
If you know I can't overstay his welcome over here, because Leader will chase him
down.
Tom?
Steal his ember?
Ah, humanoid.
Walks to the top side of it.
It's got the Lich-Bane-Mil-Ignitz RV Builder, Skeens looks to steal away another
camp from lintess's jungle. This uses the wind becomes lightning across the wall and
just gives this one up. Let's realise this as well. I can't really contest it. I don't
know how many of SK are waiting in those bushes. Mickey is hovering topside and looks
like leader said, no I'm actually going to finish my recall, going to finish my stride
breaker so Mickey then parts down towards the Baron pit instead. We talked about
taking tier ones is SK that have done that well now they're basically taking me up
oh oh this is fast, I need a spot on the water as he walks across
I think they've got this, I don't think they've got this
okay it was really fast I was gonna slow down a bit
okay sound to 6k I think they've got this
the TP behind, Lince is gonna jump it knocked up
he flashes over the wall the dash is in, smite comes out and he's secured by SK
leader low humanoid trying to get the charm up towards the side making tanks enough
Yoppa takes one, Nat Nat Nat Nako is going to get seized into six to make his diving away. Yoppa gets a double.
Humanoid has one spear, a charge left, and he has to use a get across to Pythelize.
Bot Waker in by skiing Humanoid. One more order, and Skiing's is enough as SK.
Sneak away to Baron and take three kills out of the subsequent fight.
An absolutely incredible Baron call.
Kazi in a bit of danger, and that's easy. I can't shift to get over the wall.
The wave clear and now it's time to come through, but it's not going to be enough to protect that tower as Lida continues to push in the top lane as well.
Advantage is gained across the board as SK win a huge teamfight.
McNacol coming in from the flank looked like he could have been massacred, but he had no Meganar.
So a nice knockup comes through from Lida.
Then he engaged from Linsus. The smite fight ended up going the way that SK was a huge gamble that ended up paying off.
Linsus ends up dropping first, then the rest of SK all turn their attention on the McNacol, which is a great choice.
choice. No opportunity given to him to build up that meganar.
Schumannoy tries to go in to find a pick but he's not able to grab one.
Skeens has to commit the flash to clean up that kill but he gets it.
And ends up being three kills plus the Baron, putting SK now in a winning position.
4,000 gold up, dusk into one completed on Yoppa.
And you look at it, vitality. I'm struggling here.
And 2,500 gold leads four Yoppe himself. He's at three items first.
We only see two sitting on Karzy right now.
Wanda has Glacier Assault and can wave play for days.
Mickey is being in the right position at the right time so many times on this Rekhaan.
And you can see Humanoid just in the sideline trying to get some gold back off the map.
And that Naka using the null.
Quaken X across the wall, Shadown to Karzy.
Season is just there for the follow-up.
Skins needs to get out, but he can just dash back out with a ball.
Oh, pretty cool. Lisa's though looking for the flank here.
Micky's already used his flash, and Maklucka falls away.
Dash in from Hubernoi, goes in, but you're already just done late!
My talented off the map!
Maklucka just shat. It might just be game SK. Where did this come from?
A single baron fight into a single skirmish.
What a catch from the cars. The 5M is strong.
They set the sights at the next attack.
Maklucka and Hubernoi have to do so much work here,
but I just don't think they've got it in them.
Mclugger trying to clear out the way, but SK are undeterred, unperturbed
as Alina with Wimbledon stops you with those charms and they'll take down the Nexus.
What a one now in this mess of three. Wow!
So Joplin will continue his Kaiser Wing streak, nine games, now his records
and what a way to do it. A single-barron call into game victory, 25 minutes.
Let me try.
Wait.
Broly.
Broly.
Broly.
Broly.
wait brother let us break this instead brother have a break have a
a KitKat. What is this brother? Perfection. Red Bull gives you wings.

We've come a long way since the beginning,
The dark days of double streams,
Vacation means now
We are charged up and charging forward. We are the enemy.
This looks not bad. This looks not bad.
I think enemy is coming.
Rekanon! Rekanon! Rekanon! Play with me. Play with me.
What is this?
Over there? Nice.
I got it now.
Nice.
Now it's finals man, now it's finals.
Now it's finals, go for it, go for it, get it, get it.
I'm looking forward to it.
Now it's a...
Yeah, from my side.
Yeah, next, yeah.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
Just here, just here, here, here, here, here.
This is the next one.
Thank you, Jeff.
It's always when teams are not expected that they show up the most in the end.
At last, SK is here.
And the fans are happy.
Actually, I get it.
Convincing from them.
I wish we would have seen this more often.
Yeah, I think there was a little back and forth though.
I think there were moments where I thought, oh, this game is going to suddenly turn into
Van Halen's favor.
And I think that, like, the knack-knackle play for me was the big one.
I thought that was just going to seal the deal and Vitaly were going to take this one.
Yeah, it was the eronix play of the day here and as a mar and joyer, actually,
took me through what happened here and what made this play successful.
So when you play it now, you always have to manage the mega-narv-r and it's
really important.
he found the TP on the angle and as the body is running out he does find the flash in.
So realistically why this play is so impressive because there's a lot of coordination when
it comes to your team, buying enough time, luring the enemy to come inside of your position
so that you can't find this way where they overextend and we see it now from his QoB
finds the flash in.
And this is where I was agreeing with Dagda.
I thought the game was sealed here.
I felt that it was the timer where Vitality was going to take over the game and snowball
But sometimes brawn does great brains because realistically sk sting comb
It just becomes a brute force you have so much engage
It's so easy to just pull the trigger and pick up on anyone
And I think the main benefit of that was your that we got to see this real kaiser build that had been talked about a little bit like
Duster dawn didn't have the static shift
Which is a little sad about but didn't end up having like very high impact the factory to double proc on the passive gives you so
Much damage especially because the scales of the AP and you see in these fights
He was doing wonders and especially in this situation where you end up with picking off the flanker
Which just opens up you then to be so aggressive in these fights as the Kaiser flashing forward here
Or the last minute as well to pick up the kill
I think Yoppa played this absolutely fantastic and coming out with this early lead as well
He did exactly what he needed to do like that
That was a massive performance and I've been so impressed with the Yoppa so often this close
And let's be real, we don't see a lot of Kaisa nowadays, especially because we're in this whole meta with Enchanters left and right, it's all about the hyper scalers.
Kaisa, when you do have a lot of ingates, she is absolutely deadly and it was really nice to see SK manage to enable the Kaisa so damn well with the use of pretty much all the champions.
Because this is the unconventional playstyle that SK always wants to bring to the table.
And the fact that Kai'Sa or Yopa rather gets empowered quite naturally with his pick, he was the one who managed to pop off through there just because there's just too many threats.
And I do like them trying to impair Yopa. Like I think he has been kind of one of the shining lights in this team, which has not been doing so hard.
So when he has a moment like this to shine, I think he really can't take over a game and he got to see us.
He's been one of the biggest revelations, I feel, that we had this year.
this year and we are not done hearing from Jopa. We're not done hearing from SK yet because
they're going to take us to game 3 and for me it came down to those plays where they
can play around tempo and get things in their advantage. Even if things are close, they
might actually have objectives. Even if they shouldn't, on moments they shouldn't either.
Exactly, the Baron was so sneaky that even I thought they were not able to do it
because he just came out of nowhere. We have this shot, we have this, oh my
It's fine. It's fine.
I'm not the TP. They managed to stop Lysas from getting into the pit, forces the flash in.
But now Vitality, here's what happens. You get into this situation where you've been winning the whole game
and then enemy sneaks the match and you're like, oh man, they just took it, we need to fight.
But that's not what the team comp wants to do.
The whole time where Vitality was winning was they were posturing up, they were pressing S,
they were just waiting and reacting.
But now when you get stressed and the enemy just is about to take over that game,
you do feel this sort of need to go and start to fight a piece, even though it's not what you think
one wants to do, you feel compelled and you feel forced to do it. Yeah, especially when you're
able to take a lintse at the side of that fight, like he goes down, you don't really have a front
line then, sure, Nak Nak was there, but he's just TP'd in his mini an hour, that's not going
to be right in front line, and then very quickly that fight starts to go up right, so really
good call by SK in the moment, and I think that's what you want to see from a team like
this that has that veteransy, when you've got guys like Wunder and Nikki, and these guys
I said you expect to step up and click situations. That's what I want to see
Comey's fruit from and I'm glad that we still have that coming through from this roster even though
The project might be gone. I still want to see them leave with a bit of pride
And I think these sorts of moments do show and you heard medic on the cast
I do show that this team has a spark to them. We just have to try and find what could have been I know
Because that's why we have not seen it often
But it also comes with this sort of teamfights, because if that match doesn't happen, this
teamfights falls apart, they get stomped, and then it's just another SK story where
oh no, they drafted something funky, and it failed.
But this way, this high risk, high reward style, when it hits, it hits hard, because
you gave them a finger, they took the whole hand, they took over the game.
And that's what we need to see game play coming from them, because realistically it's
their last game in spring.
We do want to see more, we want them to go out to the bank, and it's always
fun to offset one of the pop teams. Yeah and I do want to see something that's
like this kind of easy to execute, right? You have, you go in buttons, you all press
or at the same time and you just kill someone, right? Like it was everyone on the same page
and oftentimes when I'm watching SK games it feels like they have an all-click on the same page
so I want to see them try and draft a similar story here and just go look if we can at least
have an easy to execute composition, things become much simpler first and if we can enable
Yoppa once more I think that's your goal to success. You think it was easy to execute?
It's very volatile, but that's what we want and we want to see them go out with a bang
on the side of SK.
On the side of Vitality though, still thankful for top 4.
The Goose has 50% win rate on stage.
Is the Goose still there?
The Goose is still there.
Magna Co is holding it.
Let's see if it can bring them victory here in the game.
Oh yeah, there it is.
There's the Goose.
Oh my god.
Is it a silly Goose?
I'm so jealous.
I want the Goose.
We arrived at Medi-Veditime. Take a seat, relax.
And let's get into the game.
It's game three!
League of Legends, let's go!
It's been ages since we did that.
Yeah, I know, they took us off camera.
Why would you, why, is it just because I'm that much heavier than you?
I took a second to register because I'm so light it was like oh there's someone on me, okay?
Yeah, we're getting rid of the game three. I'm shocked that we have a game three. Yeah
With the shabbana
Yeah, I mean so for vitality to lose this would be quite a surprise
SK can end their regular season on a high if they can take this win against vitality
The faces on vitality now looking rather stern. I mean they lost earlier this week
they lose again that is true we're jumping into drafts fans already on my
screen coming through thick and fast Olyana, Ubarus, Ryze possibly we've seen it
banned a lot in the second phase it seems of Ryze that they've just given up on
Ryze I don't care about Ryze but I don't ever have happening to Ryze
specifically in the match so it does surprise me a little bit but yeah
apparently teams do not prioritize it as much or maybe it's just day one of
of the new patch, maybe the things that have risen in priority, forcing it to be lower on the list.
But Lulu Yunara now is going to be very important, Lucian Melio as well.
Kind of a go-to AD carries with Nocturne and that is Wukong probably for SK.
Yeah, wouldn't be surprised by Wukong at all. Could also look to things like
like the scar. Do you know it's
game three and it's vitality
which means it's a drugs one
million percent. Okay. Yeah,
I'm so confident you're locked
and loaded for the age. I don't
even see any other things. What
should be a trucks for the
lintess? Okay, there we go.
Right. He's locked in for
in the mid lane.
Do you have a thing that I am blue?
I sing it all the time.
What are the lyrics?
I'm blue dabbadibba-dai.
I remember in high school I believed I will die
was what I was taught.
And then some other people sing other things.
Young people twisted the lyrics.
Actually, you don't know lyrics is what we learned earlier today.
I'm blue dabbadibba-dai.
It doesn't sound like something someone would sing.
Lucian and Milio, the first few picks from Vitality.
So you know Lulu would be the obvious response it does lose to the Lucian Milio
In lane cause it can be very aggressive. I mean he does see upset skirmish pretty well earlier in the day on it
I think just think it makes the most sense Lulu. I think he's still strong
Trying to work out. I think they're cheering schemes
They have the same thing in in KC when we're in every
Well, I can't think of anything.
Yeah, could they have taken Carmine with French accents?
That's a Cogmore.
And he sounded a lot like Nabi.
That is a Cogmore, then.
So we're going Juggermore.
Mmm, ooh.
Could have a throwback.
Could be Ryze Top.
It's a fright.
It could be Ryze Top.
So one of his pats, it got one of his pats to kill was on Ryze Top.
Oh, no.
Humanoid, you've fallen for the trap.
We haven't seen leader play Ryze yet this point.
That is true.
That's the thing.
Is it mid lane or is it top lane?
top line could be cock more mid today but it's leader I think the day leader
plays an AD carry and mid lane ah it's an AP carry that's gonna do it again
it's gonna do it again Zeus it doesn't have a dash that is yeah that is that
is valid said one you ban from vitality does work well in juggermore
pumps
okay it's gonna get with top line again it's gonna be like a scion and
of an exit or something which is bad because if he's just left it there cooking while he's
on stage it's gonna burp
yeah
some of that does suggest literally anything
could be anything
could be anything at all
i'm liking what you're putting down
says wani is simply again just a band
Yep, lay it down, think very.
Doesn't really indicate.
Now, if it was a trundle band, that would suggest a sig-1e.
Yes.
But the other way around, no.
A sig-sig-1e.
Ah, the Vitality realized the Ryze could go top
and they banned the Akali away.
I mean, it could be Akali top.
Why?
I mean, it can't be because they banned it.
Yeah, but it could be banning for the top lane.
They're not.
You don't know what's in their mind.
I do actually know in this specific instance.
So, where did SK go with their final ban?
Is it just the Renekton ban?
When I hang on, we just got given a fun stats medic.
Oh yeah, hit me.
Kalist, last played Kog in 2025 spring.
Okay, Kalist was the last Kog in the LEC.
Yes, yes, that's right.
I skipped the line, I skipped the line.
Kalist's the playing in this game.
Is, in our case, even in G2, very.
When did Hans last play Kog more?
Right now, Kog more has won 13 out of 14
of its last LEC games in the LEC,
mostly by Hans Summer.
So 13 out of 14, I did, yeah.
Yeah, what can I say?
There's someone next to them.
They wukong, Mundo would make sense.
Yoppa, they're definitely shouting Yoppa.
He's not picking for himself.
Mephiri is very strong on this patch.
Supposedly, yes.
There's a hen.
Wait, I was completely wrong. There's no Hrox.
Yep. I'm shocked.
Oh, it's already made.
And it's right!
Stop!
Yeah.
It's almost like we predicted that.
Good job, guys!
And the thing is, because of how the game works now, you can't swap the Syndra top lane,
because humanoid...
You can swap roles, Jem's like...
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, but you can swap roles.
But there's no way humanoid wants...
There's no way he wants that quest.
The top lane quest?
Get a shield when he TV's?
No, okay.
We did get an atrox.
I am technically correct, okay. I'll give you that one. I'll give you that one buddy, but it is stop playing to rise
That time a ding a hover
That reminds me I need to
completely unrelated
Really like pay you bills. No, no, no, I was thinking about putting climate anger in my
Lily a day
I couldn't remember what it does right kept on myself
I need to look it up and then I saw the high meeting a hover and I was like
I need to look that up.
Duplicate's ability is...
And it's a legend specifically.
It's not a legend specifically.
I'm out of it, you know.
Anyway, uh, yes, let's talk about these comps.
Let's talk about these comps.
So SK, they have weak engage.
Again, I stand by the opinion.
Is Irelia found in this draft?
No, I don't think it is.
I think it works completely fine into Syndra.
I think it's good into sidelines like that makes sense. Do I think of Ali is just kind of a weak champion right now?
Yeah, I do. Yeah, I think she's really hard to play now
One of the biggest differences before she played into a Lulu now. She's playing with the little very true
She's got a lot more utility and support when she does die
Yeah, she dashes in and gets kicked by a mega fire. She's still gonna be a tough thing or a cyclone
Yes, it's kind of the way. Yes, or a huge knock up from that. Yes all of those things
Yes. Well, an infernal change is possible.
But she's still a big problem on a sideline.
That is true. Again, though, we come back to this big discussion.
Like, I wish that we could split push more in this game.
Yeah, it does feel like split push isn't that good.
It just, it's just about team fighting.
That's just what the legend is.
No, I mean, don't make me say the year,
but there was an era in time when split push in.
Oh, there's a rough timeline where it was more or less,
it was quite good a while ago.
And yeah, now it's pushing, it's just that Dragons is too dominated.
Yeah, I think it's too many Dragons.
Too many Dragons.
So yeah, it's all friendly legends, units and gear.
I was hoping I could skip paying the cost though, that's the problem.
I'd still have to pay it.
No, it just has the abilities.
Doesn't get to do it for free though, that would be broken OP.
Still, I have something to explore.
Anyway, congrats to Prismacism for winning the most recent RQ by the way.
Oh yeah, that was hype.
Yeah, the lines in that final.
Anyway, that's, yeah, that's enough of that. So I got distracted. We haven't really talked about those finals, so...
Uh, Lidia going in onto humanoid, she's gonna chip away at his health bar.
Wanda, he's, uh, won an only pentakill ever, was on this rise against, uh...
Really? That's his only ever pentakill?
The only ever pentakill, he lost the game.
Oh, it's against, uh...
Oh, it's against Fungiwufla, wasn't it?
It was against Fungiwufla, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good times.
I can...
Still haven't mentioned the year, just to be clear.
Uh-huh.
Good job.
Uh, it's Deathfire Touch as well.
Uh, for Wanda, in the top lane.
Oh, so he's not going for the hang-on. I'll remember the name. It's not phase rush
It's not phase factor different. It is just don't entirely we used to have it as a ruin in the game
Starts with an S
Search and it begins with an S. It does
Why am I?
store storm razor surge. Do you say store?
I thought it was something else entirely.
I thought it was something completely different.
Do you want to say the proper name?
I thought you just got some radars.
Oh yeah, that's obviously a faux pas on my part.
I actually think you've said it correctly, I just think it's heard.
Did I completely just forget the name back?
It happens all the time man.
My memory is not what it used to be.
Yes, because you've added more memories in that.
True.
You have to get rid of some of this stuff.
You have to search and get by and touch the new rooms.
Unfortunately, what happens is they tend to replace League knowledge with other League knowledge, which is not good.
I need to get things like birthdays.
I have more League of Legends knowledge instead.
Wanda didn't get changed, because they were just a walk out of them.
I'm not going to go on the right side of the snatch up right now. Wanda is doing a good job on the rise getting the wave pushed in has about a one
One wave lead in terms of CS
Scenes is just gonna walk across and get himself
His scuttle crouch who yeah, I mean this is quite a big lead for three minutes in the game
Yeah, you are correct. I want to say that he had a big way to catch
But no he did not. He just won. He's just winning.
And leader's also like, I mean, yes, there's seven minutes here, but leader just winning out on this now lenses
Wow gets flawlessly duetted. Oh, I thought you might start a start and leader also gets the fight
Yeah, I mean they're just winning in nice. Well, I mean it ready is good into Zyndra
It's similar to what we saw earlier in the day
Like it ready is a champ that if you know how to play the champ. It's a good match ups
It's a really good matchup
But it does require high level of mastery. It is not easy to play
And also just a good understanding of how the cops work, but the reality is mages do just struggle against the radio
Because she has so much mobility. It's very easy for her to play around your abilities and also just like
Mages are dependent on their abilities to do damage to clear waves to pretty much do everything
Whereas
Irrelia is not because she has a passive auto attack that both helps her clear waves and also trade
and she also has a damage reduction.
Yeah, Define Dance is very strong.
Need to accidentally tank the tower.
Wave now clears and now he can base.
And he can Cheetah Recall if he wants to.
I think in this position, yeah, you should just immediately base.
Go back, you can probably buy some magic resist if you want.
He's going to rush Blade of the Ruined King.
Once he gets it, he will basically always
have kill threat on human eyes.
Oh, he's actually choose to cancel his base.
I think it's fine.
What are we fighting over though?
Let's make you just cover me to make sure Linus just doesn't try and gank Lido again.
Florentisuek goes in, Humanoid takes a massive chunk.
Perfect.
As you said, when you have the Ionian fervor passive built up.
But that was genuinely perfect because basically what he did there was he put three stacks
on his Q in the minion wave and then he threw the E out, hit Q, and the passive applied
before his Q actually connects, so you still got the reset on it.
Uh, probable plays.
But yeah, it brings us back to this conversation about Lido, which is that like mechanically
he's never really had an issue, right?
I don't think that that that part has ever really been in question
But yeah, this champion pool has this but definitely the question is
We'll see how the Aurelia plays out
right now her win rates this split is
One and one went to one and two. Yeah, 33 percent point three
Because we have the one win from Rooster was really I went to and seven. Yeah, and then we had one loss with leader
and I had one loss with
Tracy Tracy
I mean, this is a free Scuttlecrab for him, Linsus is not even contesting it.
And so, Skins will get 6 first, not actually going to be too big of a deal because Linsus's
topside camps are coming up soon.
Wouldn't be surprised if we see an Amigia at the start of the dragon afterwards, the
leader there, you support the stretches, missed the drake, but Skins get a smite
straight away.
Ooh, his red's going to get stolen though, Linsus skips his blue instead of Amigia
goes into the red knowing the dragon started of course because the ward in the back could fit
because you're coming with the illusion cross and we are nice a little camp gain
all vitality off the back of skeens getting distracted.
SK, there's a nice early object, oh my god my voice just disappeared.
A nice early objective secured for SK. Grubbs will be spawning in a minute's time
and I don't think you're going to fight for this princess.
I think you can, whether he'll win or not is questionable, probably not count, you offer looking for that bio-cambouache, but you know, he uses it to do a lot of damage, yeah, what are you gonna say, buddy?
We had the bot lane trifecta of Ash Seraphine, Karma Ezreal, and Jidara Lulu. This then involved after the buffs to Lucian Melio.
We also saw something Soraka. You know Soraka?
I think you know it was something Soraka.
All I remember of Soraka was the Jarvan was made of it.
And so now we've got a further evolution which is Cogmore Lulu.
And it's this idea that ok we need champs that can actually fight against the Lucian early.
Sure.
And so far what we're seeing is Cogmores you do pretty well against the Lucian in the T2 vs 2.
We'll see how things continue.
Yeah, when the Essence Reaver is completed I think is a big inflection point for Kha'Zi.
So we'll see what happens after that point but as you say like early on,
doing very well in that lane. Everything's going very solidly.
Got it to human-eyed. I thought he was actually further behind but I guess the
gold advance of Lina's leader has generated is from the plates.
The sweet spot on Aurelia is when your Q will one-shot Kastamin.
He's still a ways away from now because this has found Vicky.
Cyclone wants to make he has to flash away.
One of those issues with being a Lulu and trying to get vision control is that you can't really a lot of the time.
You're very squishy!
Wow, Narknako is just 20 CS down. A rare sight to see from Narknako.
After dominating his lane.
Oh, Leader! He's got a lot of power.
Nark goes in for the damage on the humanoid.
I wonder what's actually a lot of work, and he has to flash away as you say.
Even without leader, I think Vanguard said it was just a really deadly situation.
I wonder if we can walk out of the infernal chains.
It used to get leads in the top lane.
20 CS leaders in nine minutes.
It hasn't really expanded too much after the early portion of the match,
but I think it's happy enough with that advantage.
300 gold ahead.
Right, all of the laners for SKR about that 300 gold ahead mark.
And as I say that, one that loses a plate.
So now he's back in with an 170-yoth.
Hmm.
I thought they should catch that wave in the top lane.
I'm thinking about scaning, Benny.
Why would you think about what the weight kind, or the kind that you find on Lizards, or the...
I do like, like, if you were to malt...
See, the problem is now you've let me go down whatever route I want to.
Would you want to malt all in one go, or would you want to pick off a little bit?
This is one of those...
Now I'm very uncomfortable. I guess you I was I was gonna talk about leaks up and you deliberately went somewhere else
So you made this that I don't want you do which is that you twist my words to meaning something else
And then somehow you saw that as an opportunity
Have my words twisted. Oh human eyes
With the scouting the weak force and will flash away from skin diving in we get the dreaded return pull back onto human
You has no flash remember grim deliverance knock up with a Q3 in the dark in place and not the skins
doesn't build up the goal, goes just in time!
Gets the passive out, that cultivation wall is going to bring him back up,
but Linsus is still on the chase.
Skins turning it back onto him, Relmore power, Skins dashes in and SK get out!
Wow, SK!
Very well played, Skins the timing.
Perfect as he gets the passive fully stacked.
And this is the best case scenario because Lidat had free reign on that mid tower.
He made no movement, he decided to stay in mid.
And SK get absolutely everything off the back of that.
This roam from humanoid gets flashed away from bywanda.
Then the scat of it doesn't connect on the skins.
So he's able to just keep walking forward.
Humanoid has no flash, we can chase him down.
Nice little slop on it.
Oh, I think it was...
I think it was auto Q reset is actually what gave it to him.
Like that's crazy for skins.
Perfect timing, roam on, takes him to safety.
And voila.
Oh, I can't beat the Smurf anymore.
He did?
No, it's complete Smurf-ination.
Oh, and now that's a blade of the Ruin King completed for Lita.
He's pretty strong.
So he will go Merk Treads next.
Trinity Force completed for Schemes, I think is the largest strategy.
Lita's must have a lot of gold.
I wonder if they chase down.
Here's our flash.
Oh, oh, wonderful.
That was green.
Yeah, I think maybe
Yeah
Faster we go gets his one of angels stacking up already
They would have taken eight seconds longer if he hadn't died very good
Also doesn't have TV so he's gonna lose a plate at least
Fk will use this time to take a drake down towards the bottom line
And lintas is just coming out of base with this Trinity Force
So it should be an easy enough dragon for SK. That's two drakes a two thousand gold lead
Yeah, and she's photo kills in the game. This guy's looking suspiciously good. What has
How? How what? Like how now are they looking so good? That's a kill. It is. And it's a
dash out. Oh my. Like it's right when one ghost is going to stop it, party dashing in as well with the
Culling. Should be able to go up, Mickey. And a mega-fire kit helping out. Okay, I mean they
They needed something on the map by Tarty.
They find it.
Is this now the swap from Nakamizu?
Roll quest is complete.
Maybe he just moves into mids to match up against the Erelia.
It looks like it's just to catch that wave, OK?
But wow, so Leda played that perfectly.
Completely perfectly.
He, we look back at it, over at his POV as well.
But he sees the minions, stacks up his passive on the minions,
one, two, three.
And then he sees the weak minion connects the stun, ulti,
Q into Q into Q.
And the perfect, he did Q auto-Q to make sure that the Q is what got him the kill so that he could then Q back to the minion.
That was flawless, very well played there by the leader.
As you say, his mechanical execution has never been in question. Has gone for the plated silk house upgrade instead of the gluttonous grief.
He's basically said that the Syndra is irrelevant to me. I will now itemize against everyone else.
I would have liked the Omni-Van. Probably don't need it on a rally-on.
Probably unnecessary yet.
You do do 5% more damage above 50% HP when you get the Immortal Polo 30M, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true.
It's deciding that it doesn't need that extra little bit of damage as you're offering Mickey Moog to me.
I just thought about this thing. They did pick Syndra into Lulu.
Yes.
Wait, why aren't the draff- No, they didn't know it was Lulu, did they?
Lulu was Lulu.
They picked Ryze. No, they didn't know.
No, Lulu was in first rotation.
Like, it was Ryze, and then it was Lucian Mirio, and then it was Lulu...
Yeah, and then it was the Synchro.
Oh my god, the leader's winning this to a knight there.
Yeah, he's gonna get smoked by Linsus, chased down him, oh, flashes away!
Vanguard's Edge!
Linsus, you're going for it, you're going for it, Nimbus Strike, Nimbus Strike, Nimbus Strike.
What was you at, another Cyclone to stop it, almost!
A 2v1 for Lina.
That was actually an insane sidestep for Linsus.
If he had not sidestep that, he would have died.
Because the idea there was, from Leader, Q into applying the passive again with his stun
into another Q, into potentially another Q, so he could have done a huge amount of boost.
He would have killed him.
Oh yeah, absolutely, so if a great sidestep from Luntus, absolutely fantastic, allowed him to also get the ultimate off.
Nice try though from Leader, again demonstrating his mechanical prowess on this jam.
The problem is we've had a few nice tries in the last few minutes, and the Gold Leader was 2000 for SK.
Yeah.
Is now about 200 for SK.
True.
And I think that's indicative of SK split generally.
Yeah.
Right.
They get these leads, mechanically
very good singular players, but when
it comes to actually being consistent and closing things
out, tend to struggle.
There's one to here.
It's caught out again.
Flashes away from Alinsus, who didn't have the Cyclone,
but didn't want to risk getting chased down
by that Wukong.
While this is happening, Drake is, uh,
Rift held has been taken, it was the topside of the map.
Yoppa trying to trade back in with Karzy, he's gonna ghost forward!
As he's realizing he needs to dash when, apparently,
Arden sends some of the crafting slayers all it needs from a Cogmore and a Lulu
to really beat out that melee illusion.
Yeah, I mean, the W now, level 5,
that brings the attack speed, it is scary!
So Yoppa forced to wrap him over mid lane,
it's going for it with a Scrap against Nakhnako.
World End of Out from Nakhnako, fellow champions, don't connect.
Make you hear the help out schemes on the push really this is just to make sure the leader can take this tower without too many concerns
First time of the game as well. So nice injection of gold for him
Be careful though
Get away to safety so SK rebuild that other game leads
They can't die this
It would be greedy. All right, so back to my scaling point
Okay. Who scales? Who scales? Obviously everyone scales, whether you scale poorly or better.
Like, I look at Ryzen Klog and I'm like, that's very strong, right?
It's for certain, the Kogmawlulu.
The engage, I think, is just better on Vitality because of Wukong.
But if Vitality had an on instead, I think the conversation differs slightly
because then the threat on the Kogmawl is much more real.
But I feel like if you're Lulu you're basically just saying okay well anyone that comes to Cogmore
I just pull him off them. Yeah now a wild growth Cogmore and it's either lintus or it's not that good, so I
Just feel like that the Cogmore isn't really under any threats and then whoever human I trust to burst you also have wild growth
So yeah, I think SKL scale. I think it's actually got both side lane towers now
So he's 1.6 KG all the head after being within 300 a couple of minutes ago
Next Drake is up as well for SK. They want to try and keep this dragon stacking going.
Yopper though. The power of Lucian on mid wave is something that is always
bandied about, always talked about, and we see exactly why. It's that the
culling comes out and Yopper falls to 200 HP, and because of that SK just has to back away.
Vitality doing a good job of delaying the game, at least delaying the stacking of those
Drake's. And now where SK have to play a little bit more on the back, but Lita looking full
knock knocker will spot him, but not going to chase any further.
Yeah, I mean what's interesting about Vitality is their game too, I don't think they did
anything egregious in terms of their loss, like the barrel of such a great play from
SK that Vitality got caught completely unaware. I wonder if like, oh man, Lita, he's
I'm not sure that was the target they were thinking of giving it to
I don't know, he's quite mad bro.
Alright, it's true.
Not true. Give it to the Coltman, wherever you can.
That just reminded me of Hylisang's Lulu.
Oh, the...
Flashline offensive, Flash, ult to yourself.
I got a three man knockup team where it was my follow up.
Such a classic.
I think it's valid, really.
I mean, Mickey and Hilly, it was like their era, right?
So he's hoping, I mean if he does that he will through the game, but maybe.
Yeah, but if he does it, you know, if he does it, it will be an ode to a legend. The last, last game of the split for SK.
The Vitality, they win this, they do get that top four spot, but really they're already qualified for playoffs, so a battle to perhaps learn the patch a little bit.
the
Yopper almost has that second item complete. Cardzy though has already got the infinity Hs and 3, but
Andaziel as little looks for the ball is direct doesn't land it doesn't get the reset on place
So immediately a Cyclone in has to flash away
You know it healed up the offer here to join the play another cyclone from lint says with the TV coming out from
Knock-knock-o SK on the retreat one that dodges to the side
But out of the realm war, but no one is getting taken away
scheme's trying to go in, gets to pass it back up, will resurrect, but he's surrounded by vitality
and he won't have any prolonged schemes taken out by vitality fine two.
Quite the overforce there from SK.
Lido going all in as he finds humanoid on a side lane, but he doesn't quite connect.
He does not play the same level of falllessness that he showed late in the middle lane.
He builds a stack up, but look, you don't have two stacks right now, he's not landing those fully stacked autos, then he gets, but he has to flash out.
The ultimate gets committed, but he doesn't have his Q anymore, and now he has to retreat.
So Naisuke find themselves very deep in this fight, 4 vs 4 initially, Kazi coming from over the wall.
Oh, it's the Helio Q that actually interrupts the Ryze ult. Nice shot there from Fleshy.
And yeah, somehow Fleshy ends up getting this kill as well.
Somehow.
Pure skill. It's an auto.
Look, let's be honest, if my 200 CS solution and my 200 CS Syndra cannot out-auto attack me,
they don't deserve it.
That's on them, yeah.
That's on them.
They have so many abilities.
I'd have, you know, I have an order with an Echo of Helio.
Oh, Karzy jumps onto me, okay.
Yep, that U-Audible is going back to Vandal Town pretty quickly.
I was looking at something in-game, and then I looked up and Mickey was dead.
Don't blink, man.
Weeping Angels came for Mickey. Sucked his life force.
Well, now, Vitality have a golden vantage. SK...
And again, it's one of those situations already.
It's the second time in this game a microcosm of SK's split is being presented to us.
Excuse me, sir. Knacknacko in lane was 20 CS down and now it's 1.3 to go there.
Yeah, and he's got a Vortex Cycle Sword.
Yes, he does.
A very strong item on this patch.
Well, we've been saying this. We've only seen it built twice.
Yeah, look, Fettie, you can deduce things without seeing pros do it.
I know, I know that goes against everything we have learned from professional players.
Oh no, no, no, no.
Their builds have been debated for eons.
Yeah, but it's always, oh, it feels good.
Oh, I saw Chovy build Rocket Belt, therefore I must build Rocket Belt on every champion.
That is still true to this day, yes.
Okay, but let's go SK Chance, ring round the arena for like a 50 seconds.
Drang it in 50 seconds, now can I go?
Darken Blade.
Extermal Chains for the Fallback.
Now against the walk away.
Skeens.
It's the battle of the Darkens.
The moment it's not through who's winning it.
Doesn't make sense.
He has three As in his name.
Just Skeens only having one A.
And we know it's the As that give Darken's power.
Let's go see what we need to factor in.
Aatrox.
Yeah, Aatrox, Zacken.
Exactly.
Oh, I think I'll go over the wall.
It doesn't get punished for it though.
They don't feel like they're going to fight right now.
They just don't know where the rest of the team is.
Stressful trepidation.
It's both teams ponder the next move.
Deliberating.
Contemplating.
The next point will be our London.
Not an angle once again.
Has he found an angle?
No, an angle.
Well, Linsus looking for some degrees of his own.
Hmm, not very high pot of music though.
Well, this situation is kind of an equilateral.
And the wall dashes in.
And it's pulled back.
Skiing's going for more, not bad.
With the scan of the week, win deliverance.
Lince is able to walk out of it, TP coming in,
leader tries to dive in.
Vanguard's edge goes wide.
Wonder now joining the break.
Skiing's able to dash across the wall.
Humor again, chunked out.
Wonder looked back with the scan of the week.
Forced a wheel there for the follower.
If we're a frog out of it, then I got smited.
I came to the jungle with Yo, and now out is Lava.
One of the stun flashes, coming, heal, yopper, dodging to the side of Nuck Nuckers.
But the chains lands and Cardi takes the kill, and now with a cyclone onto the backline,
Nenson is just ripping through SK!
A good polymorph gets Miki out despite another day.
For the rest of my time to see a seal on the chase, another mega fire kick,
Leader feels the power unleashed from the Syndra, wonder.
I think just trying to flank himself in the end is taken out by humanoid.
Vitality will turn their attention over to the Bammet as they win Edd and Rumble in the jungle.
Yeah, what an excellent team fight from Vitality.
We jumped straight into the replay and there was just so much dancing back and forth.
Leader has the cancelers base, but remember he's got nothing left.
Yoppa on the front line loses his life first, gets caught off guard,
and then lins us with a great engage, knock up onto the front line, a quick follow up onto the back line, lead it.
He doesn't have any tools left to get those stacks to contribute to the fight.
Low health members, but flashy positioning, great to provide the peel.
Once the stun connects onto Wanda, there are no plays left.
A good barrier from Karsid to make sure he stays alive.
Great communication there from humanoid, really giving us a good insight into the mind of the throw player.
It's rare instances like that you really get to see oh, yeah the level of excellence that they display
That's why I think you know just have voice comes the whole time. Yeah, I agree
It would probably just be blocked off for vitality sure. Yeah, probably
And that makes with laughing and then something about all being in a bed together in front probably it's something yes
Probably too much would be shared. Yeah
Yeah.
In fact, let's remove that table from the option immediately.
We're removing the whole table.
Table is no longer under consideration.
Oh, that makes sense.
Givonite was down 1.8k.
Now he's a level up.
And...
Well warped.
It's early skeins.
Oh, great pullback on the double dreaded return.
Grim deliverance down as well.
Mickey takes the kill.
Humor is going to chase down as well.
Doesn't have a flash, doesn't have a leg to stand on the table.
He's toppled by a great Realm War combo from SK.
Nice engage from SK.
Skeen's doing a ton of work as he finds the double pullback into chasing Humanoid down.
SK's still showing that he's still got some fight left.
Just a great Realm War for one there.
He just sends in Skeen's and then says,
Alright, good luck.
He makes it work.
He doesn't have nothing to worry about.
Minster says it's not worth noting here.
We have two few numbers.
The Lucian's still in mid lane.
Knuckles top, we can't really trade for anything.
I think maybe a plate was secured in top lane, oh, we got a bit of a scrap right now.
It's like from Linus, the skins can just walk away from this one.
Knuckles was not close enough to really do too much extra work.
Hmm, this Balan power plate for vitality.
Yeah.
Hasn't gone too well.
No.
Suboptimal.
Suboptimal indeed.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I mean they wanted to turn their attention to these tier 2 out of towers, but they got
stopped in their tracks, meaning that, hey but here's the good news, Nautnarko still is
very fed.
That is good news often, full vitality, fans, Cardzy also, very fed, 4 items.
And Jof is still only sitting at 3, Ginsu's flickerblades and the Kraken for him, is
a thing Lita now doesn't really need magic resistance.
He's got two weaker blows steady. Yeah, the key is working towards wit's end.
But for now, he basically has none.
Which I'm gonna give you a quick rundown right now.
Xionoid does in fact do magic damage.
Siege and Caneminians near him have 120 extra because of the whole focus.
In fact, so 57 magic resistance on leader.
He's got sort which is 18 and magic 18 plus 8% pan. I don't remember the order
It's flat first 10% I'm pretty sure well if we assume that it brings him down at 43
And then it's effectively 10% your math is bad, but he's at 57 minus 18 is 30
And then what we would you say after that 8% I did 10% is easier
So it's about 30 the 33 34 that's not a lot of
Okay, Vitality want to make that K-R in their favor.
Is this a good play?
Well, Wanda has TP and there we go, he's going to join.
Double four, let's do it.
Alright, now go forced away.
It's a play about not too much right now.
I think we'll get that TP so I think it's still a win for Vitality.
There's nothing else on the map to worry about.
So I think it's completely fun.
TP is not going to be available now for the next dragon,
If I thought the energy they can look to exploit it, maybe they can send someone off to a side lane.
The problem is, who goes off into the side lane against the leader?
Just because he's fallen behind now doesn't mean that he's suddenly weak.
I mean, I think Narko can probably be up there with him.
Narko's got more spear and Vortex Cyclus Sword.
That's a lot of magic resist though.
Yeah, it's got a lot of magic resist, but he's also got 192 armor.
Yeah, true. That does help.
Well, the plate is skill caps, and he's level 18, which is two levels above leader.
at 16. Yeah all of those factors do in fact help him go into a cycle. I mean it was just
I was working it out. I agree. Great point. There was no synthesis of any sarcasm there
at all. I never know with you. You've known me for 10 years. Yeah that's my point. We've
gone full cycle. I thought I began to understand you. I thought I knew you. And now we've
gone over the other end where I know you so well that I'm not sure if you're messing
with it you know I see I feel like you've played yourself under zero pressure
so now I'm millennial dude
anxious about being anxious you know
it's all special power don't like being perceived I picked the job this camera
okay leader well he's been tp'd on yeah well that will get the true test
Is it true when Linsus is there as well?
It kind of seems like making a 1v1 into a 2v1.
Vanguard's okay, so Naka was definitely winning that before.
Yes he was.
Okay, that's the way.
Oh, it's a 3v1 now?
How many do you need?
Yeah, but I mean, what's Lita doing here, man?
Like, it's sure you didn't expect the TP flank, but even still,
your team's not putting any pressure on you either.
Look at the vision control as well.
Vitality have a ward here, here, here, here.
Here.
And Dragon is born in two.
Mm-hmm.
Like, it was just...
Yeah, that was a silly missed play and it's gonna be third dragon now once again for vitality.
That went up in four seconds though, Betty. SK rushed one last game.
They did. They did have five people when they did the last time.
Yeah, I also don't think that they can pull the same trick twice.
The way to, is that because you see four members of vitality watching them as they stand around the bar in the game?
hey people learn adapt evolve coaches backstage okay guys just don't let me do it again
think about that the entire game all right five percent more armor magic
resist for vitality that's 15 percent which puts knuckleocker over 200 armor
and I think it's gonna be hard for leaders to deal with them now up until
this point. Yeah, we're still there. I think the W10 isn't going to help them that much.
I think it's not Karko specifically. It's just like, man, it's so doomed for SK again.
They have a moment and it's like, oh, that was a good play SK. And then you look back
at the score when you say, okay, well, not Karko is 2.7K ahead. Harvey is 3K ahead.
Baron is being started, so this is their chance. By vitality. Yeah, this is their
chance. Yeah, leader and wonder of bot lane and wonder doesn't have TP, then.
It's our chance. I'm telling you it's a good one.
I don't care, it's just steal it, man.
Yeah, just steal it.
Just orient Blast Cone, smite it, grim deliverance back over the wall.
Alright, look at bot lane. Look, look, look.
So easy. You just gotta go.
Alright, someone giving some vision, guys. Some vision?
Okay, no vision.
Okay, now I need to get to base.
Can I get it in the hit and inhibit it?
Stop the port, stop the port, stop the port.
Stop the port.
Well, we'll have to mid lane, get the team to a mid.
It's genius, Betty.
Is it though?
It's genius!
Oh, it is actually, yeah.
Oh, SK!
Now, first vitality-bound power play
ended up with, like, 100 gold lead out of it.
This one, already only at 170.
They don't quite, oh, they do.
They do.
OK.
So an exchange of towers.
I think good response from SK, basically making the decision.
We can't win the fight, so it's instead
try to split push.
And I mean leader gets a nice healthy chunk of gold working towards that GA next.
NacNacRot now finished his GA.
I think the team fight.
Again though, we haven't talked much about the Cogmore, but the Cogmore is scary.
Yeah, the problem is, Karzy has five completed items.
The Cogmore has three and is building Jackshaw.
Jackshaw?
That's not as good, you know?
It's Cogmore.
more. It is called Moshe with a Lula. He does have a Lula. I'm entirely aligned with
those two facts. I don't think he does enough damage. I also think those two things exist
on the map. Those two things are true. Also think that Vitality is just pushing him as
far as... They're literally just pushing. SK are sitting on their heads. SK? SK?
Go get some wonder and lead them on here! SK! We've got a TP at some point, guys.
Okay, there's the first TP. First Nexus tower falls as Wunder joins the fight.
Leader's gonna continue pushing. Unleashed tower used on Wunder.
Karzy trying to dash forward. Leader's still pushing.
Wunder on the frontline. Kallen comes out.
Alright, Deadlings is just going in as well with a Cyclone.
Gryndal everyone from Skins, everyone flashes away from it.
There's no Nexus tower. It's like, you're against one!
And Leader, even with a TP, they just walked in, buddy.
They just walked through the front door.
And SK basically bought them free tickets to the show.
Vitality two and one.
SK just couldn't stand up against the Vitality push in the end.
Vitality will lock a spot in the top four of the LTC playoffs,
counting themselves a second chance should things go awry.
SK will end their season with a two and one loss against Vitality.
They showed some valiant stuff, but now they'll have to regroup
and re think ahead of that summer split. You can go for a key of play at the series right now at LEC on X,
Mac Mac Ocazi, or Fleshy, or very, very good options. But yeah, congratulations to Vitality,
locking the spot on top four. They still have one series after the games, Fnatic, and winning that
can put them in contention of the top two as well. It definitely could, and also could be a very
important series for Fnatic, depending on how the G2 and M-Coy series go this weekend.
They need their wins to do fanatic and vitality even with a
A few fumbles throughout the series some question marks will be raised for sure
But I don't think that that the baron lost game was like an egregious vitality error
That's a good call from sk overall
We're gonna hand it over to laura nodo who are soon to be joined by the linensis take it over
It's yours you can have it you deserve a microphone. Did he deserve it though? Yes, he did
I think you played well.
I think I gave him to you, I'll run it.
You guys are all kind of random.
We had more expectation for Xen-Zao.
Why didn't you go to P?
Did you try it?
I tried it in solo queue, but I think it's better on top lane.
Because you used the passive very well.
That's true.
Which top laner do you think would go well with this Xen-Zao?
player I was thinking people but it's not been yeah but that's gonna be a crime
this is how you do it who would wonder what's gonna happen either great but
either a little bit of a over not case someone who's like Mirvan no I mean
Mirvan is reaching on standards where he's not being a psychopath I mean
I could place weird stuff as well maybe like not gonna good day he might try
But it's I feel like he has other champions if he likes it
I'm gonna tell me about the Crocs. I mean, it's just the door, you know, yeah
Do you get to swap every day or topling? Yeah
We bought so many ones they have to arrive. We will have more colors. Are they cool design or just a different color?
They're the same just different color because I saw someone there's one of the referees
He's running around like one piece with the one piece crocs. They're really cool
I think it's the pirate flag and all of that cool stuff.
For the Mars?
For the Mars?
No, no, no, no.
I can send you the link.
Can we just let them talk about Crux?
Oh, we can actually.
The new shoes came out.
We're going to talk about Crux.
Yeah, that's actually a good thing going on.
Talking about the league, top four.
Did you guys make it?
Top two actually.
Top two, for now.
No, you guys are locked up too, I think.
No, no.
You locked up four.
You could lock up two depending on how teams are going to play,
but how do you reflect on the split so far?
the split so far. I mean it's been good so far. Yeah. I'm happy we are top 4 because
of the upper bracket of course and now I think we just need to win one more and we're top
2 so. Yeah. What were the goals you had coming into the splits actually? As a team and
maybe for yourself? Go every international. Okay. Man you guys, you really shot your
short with the go to internationals and everything. I mean I need to win it the whole split.
Yeah. Now NSI and I see the top 2. Top 2 goes to MSI, right?
Top 2 goes to MSI, yeah. What do you feel like you guys have progressed on the most as a team?
I mean our mid game got much better I think since winter, but it was a bit sloppy maybe today.
Maybe because we haven't played in a while on the LSE, but yeah for sure mid game I think.
Do you agree?
Looking at them?
Yeah.
No, I mean, honestly, I mean, the game 2 was...
The bad end thing, it was a little bit sneaky, and it came out of nowhere pretty much, but I think...
It's been a lot more controlled when it comes to their gameplay.
I feel like the throws are less and less...
Knock, knock, sometimes...
I mean, he kind of stopped doing the 1v5 I'm going to go in into mid-game,
because I'm bored and we're winning too hard, because that threw a couple of games.
Yeah.
So progress is being made.
I have a question actually. As the jungler and the one who's supposed to like keep order in the game,
who's the most reliable teammate you have? The one who's gonna end the week?
Oh.
I don't know which one is the most. I mean, Marek talks the most about mid game besides me.
I'm not sure reliable, I think everyone just has to do their job well.
Yeah, I feel like everybody takes their turn into carrying and sometimes, thank you so much.
and sometimes not caring so much with you.
What do you think has been the most stable member?
Because we always talk about Knack-Knack over there.
I feel like even he is having his ouss sometimes.
I don't really mind the fact that people are taking turns.
I think that's also kind of what happens when you get to a point
where you really want to push limit element, push boundaries.
Because at some point it becomes when you learn the book,
the book of mid game, it becomes more about learning to skip some steps.
So I don't really mind when they take these turns
because they go to a level where they're so consistent that when they end I'm like yeah I believe that's an oopsie
I do believe it in a turn oopsie because it before it used to be in but when I think about consistency
Actually, like flashy flesh is the one who is the least in the game
Yeah, we don't talk about a lot about fishy because there's always there's always currency being a little psycho
Mario case freezing some lanes and sometimes in some sideline knock knock was one be five in
Times but flesh I haven't seen him in in a very long time
You haven't looked at the part came
I mean he had some silly devs, but he played on the limit. So it's like, yeah
It's also very like just silly buffs. I think you need those sometimes
Yeah, because I feel like he's in his his growth and improvement have been have been obvious because
Before when I was looking at Vitality, I thought there's you know
There's a little bit of a liability there because I felt like his impact wasn't really that good
But the fact that now he's flying under the radar with a team that performs so well, he's one of those silent heroes where he's just everywhere he used to be.
Yeah, supports don't get enough credits. Once again. Someone who's gonna get credits once again though is Nak Nakurki, the key player of the series today.
How do you think your synergy evolved? Like what did you guys get better at as a jungle top duo?
Something crocs.
Something crocs, that's one.
I don't know, I think it's quite easy to play with him, because he's just been a small sort of a matchup, so he can stay in the top laner.
So that just makes my job very easy.
Let's see, EC, okay, so I want to get a little bit of a deeper dive.
EC, just that good.
Is it one of those cases where you don't even need to manage him or give him assistance because he's in control of everything?
Or is it one of those things where you play together so much and you know him so well now and his strengths and weaknesses
That makes it easier for you to cover for him or you get this feeling that you know when you need to cover for him. I
Mean I think I know when I need to cover him just from the whole game perspective kind of but
I mean also we have played together for like what now one-half years
So yeah, I don't know how he wants to play and what he's gonna do usually
But as I said, it's very easy to just play for him because any 50-50 matchup he's just gonna win, any evening matchup he's gonna stomp, so it's quite makes my life much easier.
The life of a Juggler. It's so easy when you don't even need to think about top lane, because top lane is just winning 24-7. This was crazy actually. I didn't really think that he would be able to win this, especially because he had Mark Brids and Yasuo was pretty much human level here.
But yeah, it's exactly these sorts of moments.
But it's exactly these moments that bring joy to a jungler because he's having good players here.
Having prior, yeah.
I mean, top lane is usually the guy who wins the most.
That's true.
I know.
We have this thing in solo queue because I remember last time I played solo queue, which was a while back,
so many of the junglers I was playing with, the first thing they do when they go into game is they mute top lane
because it's one of those lanes that you don't even look at.
Really?
I mean now the ladder got reset so I'm just muting everyone's chat and then if someone is pamping you instead of muting...
Maybe you can mutate me. Wait, who is this?
A couple of years ago I feel like I had him in one of my games and I was just mad because he wasn't ganking top at all
and then I just went on his team and he just had me mutated.
Yeah just be better man.
That's kinda how you need to play.
Oh wow.
It's not even jungle specific.
That's why I hate it. That is the best advice for everyone who plays soloqueue, just mute everyone.
Alright, especially right now, it's really wild what happened with the reset, actually.
What do you like about it?
High eloquence players must be...
What do you like about it right now?
Maybe 500 LP? I don't know. I think challenge 800 now.
Are you still in the wild west right now?
Yeah, still master like I'm still playing against noobs.
We always ask you questions, but there's Vitality fans with us today and I really appreciate it
Because we don't see you often, but I want to give them a chance to ask you a question if that's fine with you
I will hold the mic
Would you say the good would you say the goose how do you win today?
He's our talisman from now on
What's up with the goose actually who get the idea to bring in figures or newly or social media. Yeah, she's great
He's a friend we brought from Prague now
Okay, what happened in Prague actually you guys picked up a goose in
We made a homey, what can I say?
Yeah.
What did you guys do actually?
Just some team bonding, I mean, we had to go there anyway, due to, like we had to re-know
Marek's passport I think or something.
Okay.
And you guys all went with him.
That's nice.
I mean, we just made it a team bonding thing instead of having to do something.
Nice.
Cute.
Love it.
Nice teamwork.
It does.
Because we had civil war and we all wanted to disband and then we went on holidays to Malaga for a week and then we were best friends and we won LEC.
There you go. I mean I think just throughout the year it's important to have good relationships.
Yeah, exactly. Go on holiday with your teammates. Maybe you should do that with Nettix. I don't know.
I don't think we deserve holidays to be on LEC. Maybe you'll be vitality in two days.
They're not yeah, yeah
Uh, so they win against you
You make about your favorite, you know, but if we do win a fanatic does win against vitality and then jakes was all of their games
Then I think fanatic is it because jakes has
MQoy
G2 KC
So it's all the hard the hard
Don't smile at me like that
I thought it was a vitality part like this.
Bro, you guys lost to... who did you guys lose to?
Oh, you guys got torn by shifters. See? It's not impossible.
Oh my god, bringing the ice age like this.
We didn't have the stage buff.
They're cooked now.
That's true, it might be cooked.
It's another competition. He doesn't count here.
Look at that. It's a cute contest.
I didn't bring him.
It has a name. You told me.
Gustav.
That's such a good name.
It's so good.
I only realized like a few days in that it's actually like Gustav for Gustav.
That's my bad. Oh, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. Well, you got there in the end and that's what matters
So just today when you guys won't thank you so much. Thank you
You guys will see you on Monday catching on the rift this guy this guy in the coaching stuff in the jungle
We'll see them in two days, but we'll see you tomorrow
Thank you to the fans you guys have been amazing here
And thank you all of you guys for watching as well
We'll see you tomorrow same time same place in the meantime be kind to each other. Bye. Bye. Love ya
Stop it, Blay.
Why?
Because I hit it extremely low.
Shhh.
Bladdy goes in.
I've set kill.
Daagless, Trace ensures the follow-up.
As the nade continues to collapse,
Rambok's done with coffee binding,
but Ice doesn't have the damage.
Flash auto is enough!
Go on Ice, go on Ice.
That's it, that's it.
Nice.
I'm looking for an Ice.
I'll go down.
I don't want to.
O.T.
O.T.
O.T.
Nice.
No, thanks.
I'll help you.
Can you guys help us?
Ooh, nice.
Okay, good luck.
Six guys.
Can you guys help us?
You guys are doing it.
Alright, guys, they're on it.
No, no, no, no.
Five, five, five.
Five, five, five.
I'll come in.
Do we range, or how?
I will look around here.
Don't die.
I think I'm forced.
No, just fine.
I'm easy.
Well done.
Well done.
I'm ready for you.
I'm ready for you, Ivan.
Okay, flashing the trap, F-Zamper problem in the lantern.
Nice bangles, okay?
I know, I got it.
I'm in the middle of the fire.
I'm in the middle of the fire.
I'm in the middle of the fire.
I'm in the middle of the fire.
Okay, that was nice.
Thank you, I'm out of gas.
I
Not a good story, not a good one, I guess.
