to be an empty dream.
There for the win!
As now, Cronorite with the Megan-R is going to find Racer and that's the Bustler!
He's going to pick up Snagged to go into the same mode on the A-Cross!
As it's going to force the Flash here from beyond on the wall, it picks up an E-Climax for so long, Ruler has to Flash in a rage!
Just a little bit more and he's not going to get the kill!
As clear as the entire Gen.G after the Flash!
Let's see how this one goes, there it is, Pop Blossom is going to be pushed away, the
handshake can lose against him, steal the way the trackers are, trying to get him jumped
out here, running amongst right in the middle of the fight, and then freeing his ass, the
bullet fires the combo, from deep watching, too good, and she gets those cities out
of the way, support her.
The bottom lane is cutting the pieces! It's a triple for the Gwen! And it's number one for Smash as well!
Oh, I thought it was gonna be out of the way.
I'll take my knife, you know?
Okay.
Don't look down.
Baker played around that vision really well.
I don't know what my thought is. I'm looking forward to it, so...
Chainspeed to learn what he wants.
Now the Zyre's gonna show up.
Now he's been pushed by Gaze though.
It's Faker.
He might just die.
It should make it.
Doesn't have his flash.
And Oner tries to make his way over.
A number poison comes on through.
And it's Faker.
Wants up.
Flash is away.
And Oner should be out of finish this one off.
Shoemaker though, does have to get the Flash out.
For Oner to be out of pick up backfield.
Man, that was close.
Now Lucid.
No!
Too many knocked off!
And they outplay.
Oh!
Lucid!
Ah!
Flash is over the top, Josh finally finds it though, is now Andal!
His point is he gets this!
Finds the reset, throws it to the G.A. and you count!
Uh...
He can go on targetable, so he eats him, the side steps not enough!
The cataclysm is down before you turret, you just use the cataclysm,
but because you Q, you call the cataclysm to the down,
you better be in that up there.
He's going to be pulled back once again, he's going to be thrown out of his blast, so
he's going to be in the trouble here, he's going to hook into the wall once again,
he's waiting on this guy and he will win!
Yeah, possible, possible!
Now, let's come back here and tell him he's dead!
He's going to be here first on the team, and now he and Kader just running for their lives.
So much damage to be thrown down, and there's nowhere for me and Kader on the war to hide.
I just can't throw it out here, Toby!
Behind any light, there's a tour of them!
And even last, the bubble is beautiful!
I'm going to be the first one!
and we'll see you next week.
26 days of action has led here
to day 27 where we will give out
the second ever LCK Cup. Welcome,
everyone. It is LCK Cup finals
weekend. Dig on here alongside
We are here to break down Gen G versus B and K fear acts. It is going to be a great matchup one that
People couldn't predicted coming into the year. Yeah, this is not the top two that we were expecting
I think a lot of people were thinking that that certain red team were gonna make their way up towards this final
But they were picked at post by DK who were them themselves absolutely demolished yesterday in an unprecedented
And then 3-0 the only one that we've had in these playoffs
You know, I think there's a lot of names that you could have said it wasn't gonna be T1
Would have been HLE or T plus
I think being KBX pretty low on the list in terms of teams expected to be here when we started the year
But they really just gone from strength to strength up to this point Genji they're a stronger team
But also they have clear advantage into this matchup because they already know
know what BNK plan is and also they have all selection. That means that they pick the
side and also when they want to pick. The right of everything selection, Dagon. That's
what it is. That's right. Last year it was called first pick though, I think. Yes. Rose.
Right of everything selection. Every other. That's assuming you want blue side because
if you do on red side you can do first pick on red side if you want to. You could.
We'll see how it all shakes out.
Now, before we break down how they're different,
it starts with how they're the same.
These are the only two teams that did not make
a roster change from 25 to 26 in terms of players.
However, one of those coaches that was on one team last year
obviously made the big swap on over in 2026,
Rio moving from BMKFerex to Gen G.
So familiar opponents indeed.
We actually really like the fact
that we are celebrating our teams
haven't made as many changes. It just shows that development with the same five players
is actually extremely important and can get you to the highest heights of the competition,
right? Like instead of just every year we just, oh, this is the best jungler. This is the
best this that we can all just put them together and try and make it. That hasn't been working
over the years. This is working.
I think it's two different situations, right? For Gen.G, they were very successful
last year. But after Worlds, there was question marks, whether we rostered from, say,
No, we think our roster is fantastic, which it absolutely is.
We're going to stick with it.
We know that we can get that final trophy that we're aiming for.
But the BNK, VRX, they stuck with what they had as they believed
they could continue to grow, and that is what we've seen.
Not only the draft, but also the way how they play around.
I think that's what coaching staff can bring us.
And also, they have to bring something for us,
because BNK are looking pretty weak here.
Yeah.
When you take a look at the history of success here
from LCK hosted event finals appearances.
It is Gen G nine finals appearances in a row here in the LCK,
whereas BNK Furets, shout outs to them, props to them.
They find themselves in their first ever
Riot organized tournament finals.
Yeah, and of course it is Riot organized tournament finals
so they did win ASI at the end of last year
showing that they can do it.
Obviously that was the best of the rest
while Worlds was going on.
But still, I think an important thing to take away,
showing that they can get on a plane
and make things happen when they land.
Well, speaking of making things happen,
Chovy has a whole trophy cabinet full of those awards.
But we do have to point out that Vickla has a couple
that Chovy will never be able to catch.
I know the one I'm looking at.
Oh yeah.
2023 spring, all LCS third team, you know.
The Chovy fans, we're pretty quiet about that one.
We ain't seen Chovy on the LCS All-Pro team, not even once, in a single time.
So, slacking a little bit, and I think we talk about Chovy as being a super strong player,
but that is an area of weakness I've seen in his career.
In his career, he's not really had much representation in the LCS.
For sure.
Also, there's the rookie of the year as well.
We didn't have rookie of the year when Chovy debuted with a 126 KDA.
True.
I have a feeling he would have won that if we had, actually had that one, but we did.
And then of course, the head-to-head matchup also has been very Gen.G favored, not just
like sporadically, but 18 in a row dating back to 2021 LCK summer round number two.
You beat a team one time and they really hold a grudge over it.
I mean, it's just a mental block at this point.
You know, you just face against Gen.G and you feel like you can never win against
them.
That is a long, long winning streak against them.
However, B and K Thurikz, they showed up yesterday
against D plus Kia in the big arena on the road.
Their game traveled and it started off with the bot lane
and then just continued through every single lane.
Yeah, saw them being really proactive,
making these set plays work and punishing the bot lane.
Kria and Smash is not having a good time
when they're able to get these moves together
as a unit.
particular having a really strong performance and even we saw shades of
this series but there was that game they managed to pick up yeah there was
moments that went well I think the problem ultimately
mistakes from being kparex Genji
it was so hard for me just to make a little mistake it'd be like okay fine we
lost a bit let's re-establish it felt like as soon as something was up
I'm getting picked here everything fell apart. Yeah, and I kind of linked up with the draft as well because I feel like
When BNK play is Gen.G. They try to pick something they can actually play with but all but at the same time
It's kind of hard to execute it, you know, and also Gen.G. with Ryu
I feel like he's there are so many easy tools to pull it off. If you take the Magnesium
And you have a camomile team during the day. You will sleep so good.
I only had six hours of sleep, right? Because LCS ended at 1 a.m. or the well ended 1 a.m.
And I woke up around 30 minutes ago and I ate some food.
I know they say you should have seven hours, you should have eight hours,
but the six hours felt like really good to me. So I feel pretty good.
But I think like ever since I started taking magnesium supplements my sleep has gotten so much better
Oh my god
Like my quality of sleep feels better
Like I don't wake up tired anymore
What do you mean hashtag ad it's a fucking vitamin idiot
just last week here, uh, at least.
Yeah, it's, uh, it's a little bit of the keep it simple stupid has been working, uh, for a lot of these teams.
I think Azir has been considered relatively simple, but we haven't seen it actually find success.
The simple thing to do is to just remove it.
Let's just...
My Nizim's not a vitamin.
It's a priority list.
We can pick...
It's a metal.
...just do some blue man stuff instead.
Yeah.
I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that the B and K, the way they were dropping against DK,
was absolutely what they need to continue doing here against Gen-G.
Last time around, a little bit too difficult, like what did you say?
Yeah, well, it all starts with...
It's a metal mineral, and it doesn't really count as a vitamin.
A vitamin is actually just a...
Bro, what are you going about?
What are you saying?
Another Mercurial one who's taken a much longer path to come back to glory here in the LCK.
And I think Chovy was so used to him playing such a shit.
What are we saying?
I think, generally, at the start of the LCK...
Well chat, is today a 3-0? Is today probably gonna be the biggest LCK stomp finals ever?
I hope not.
I know there's gonna be one man in this chat that's gonna be going, let's go Phyrex please!
Yeah, a game at least.
And I hope they do win a game for you, Phyrex enjoyer.
After all this time, listen, DK knocks you out so you don't get to worlds last
year you knock them out to go to the finals or even though we're at peace
Then you can be more impactful in the game because we all know that Mid lane, all about the getting priority is to help your jungler to help your bot lane, but I think the reason why Viggler is performing so much better is because he's okay with the lane, but how they kind of synchronize the plays in the mid-jungle is pretty phenomenal.
We have to remember that Vickla was the guy that pulled out the Morgana mid lane.
This is the guy that makes the sacrifices in the draft in order to have a team
composition that's cohesive, that works, and then he augments the rest of his team.
Yeah, this was the big question mark how he would do and how he would pilot some of these
marquee champions that you need to. Speaking of marquee champions, there's been a couple that
have been standing out lately. It has been 22 percent.
But this is the worst that the Azir has done compared to the Ryze we did.
Again, I want to point this out because this happens yesterday as well.
We all know Azir sucks, but they always try to pick it up and they lose the game.
So I feel like...
Are you gonna sneeze it after LCK?
Yeah, ban Loryanna.
Well, LCK is gonna end very quickly, I think.
All noise bad.
And we all know what's bad.
But what I might do is I have a friend.
I think we might play WoW Arena's 2v2 for a few hours in TBC.
So they might be dissing around the teams.
Kind of have to try out just giving up Rize, get a banner jungler with Rize.
I think that works.
Yeah, I feel like it's the golden red.
Arenas can be quite good stream content, actually.
Probably the best piece of wow streaming for me
is Arenas or Mythic Plus speedrunning.
We can't do anything until 25 minutes.
To watch.
It just doesn't really work.
One of the surprising things when we look head to head
between these players,
the space volume is very low.
First across the board,
across multiple different stats.
But look at the DPM for Vickla.
He's back! He's second!
He's on the go, baby!
So, the pills, he's first, so...
I think everyone go to this matchup...
Man, Chovy is just like...
It's the hair.
It's me and him. Same haircut, by the way.
You see that?
And keep it up in a lot of metrics.
Alright, let's turn our focus down.
Chat adds now and adds after draft,
so you don't miss the opening ceremony.
...in Diablo against the world champ in Ruler.
This is the era of bot laners,
and Hypercarries have ruled the Supreme...
Yeah, there's one man that's gonna win the series today, for fear ex, and overcome the odds, it's Diablo.
Where was that comment I saw yesterday? It was such a banger comment, where is it?
Someone commented yesterday on the reddit.
On reddit, where is it?
Did they delete their Reddit comments?
Oh my god, I wonder if they deleted it
I can't find it
Okay, I can't find it
on stage and in playoffs and it's working out so much
what did it say? It was something like Diablo is just playing
like this you know early in the season
nah I can't remember it
so solid yeah or Gen G
yeah I think this is the difference between these two
and also the difference between this series today
and what we saw yesterday is the amount of variance
and I just don't think that there's as much
fear extangular what's your prediction today
bottom lane they're just always gonna be pretty good
Not to mention the fact that I think Duro is tougher opposition than Korea offered yesterday
Three one
Three one in these highlights. It's like man look at all these flashy plays Diablo's been making and then you just look at this measured
One foot after the other punishing suffocating play by ruler and Duro against their opponents here
And that is what it takes to do kills 19
And they've been able to do you take a look at the duo stats here
the duo kills high for both of these squads but it's actually the average duo
kills with Ruler and Diablo shot because they played less here. Maybe you're
huffing up Diablo and Kaleen too much but in fact Ruler and Diablo they played only
19 games but they got 14 solo kills so the average duo kill is higher so we
can't ignore Ruler and Diablo. I'm pretty sure Diablo and Kaleen can match this matchup
but I think they're just too good. Yeah and also we have to remember the fact
that Kellan and Diablo also managed to get the highest in the league at the end of last
year as well.
Like this is a joy that have been taking names for quite some time now.
We iterated it already at the very beginning of the day, the fact that both of these rosters
have stayed the same.
And we have seen that Diablo and Kellan are just moving to new heights and maybe now
is the time that they can actually get over the top.
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaking of top, let's move to the top lane where this might be...
This is going to be rough today, this is going to be rough.
of keen stats, man. The only stat that is not the top off is something that's kind of out of his control.
Damage percent.
Everything else is in his control.
Yeah, because his champion, like his champion pool and what he's told to play will determine
damage percent as a top laner. As an 80 carrier mid, you'll always have decent damage,
And you'll have even higher with poke champs, but sometimes he'll play champs that just do not get damage percent
Like how is he gonna get a high damage percent if he's playing with like s real
Azir on his team. It's impossible. He can't do it. It doesn't matter what he plays
cashback and just become a monster it feels like you never get just gonna have
an easy time into him on the other side though we have seen Claiborne on some
interesting pics definitely someone who at least can to an extent match the wider pool of
Pien so that Bryce flexed the top that was a cool idea that B&K fear X had
against T1 so maybe there's an angle Cassante will be permanent I don't
think he'll be permanent yeah those kind of I think ingenious moments that
are gonna be required for B&K fear X to find an edge it'll slip through the
good draft, little standard draft.
He's doing his polar bear stance.
Rawr!
quite a while when it comes to early aggression and making things happen he
feels like he has turned away the textbook a little bit more than he has
over the last couple of years and that's exactly what we wanted to say I mean the
lore I look at the draft if your jungler can flex it out with the so many
flex pick I think it gives a lot of space for the team and also has a sneak
pick something like needle in chat is today the LCP finals when it's on
Team Seeker Wales versus DCG
Well, it's just a trio or what they're already two up
Uncle Samson and
Kevin let me know I'm coming for you uncle real
Uncle is just a vibe. I mean, it's it's not just down to ages to be fair. I feel like bro view is tight
Was died against faker so I'm not adding raw. I'm letting it now. It's
Is my camera off sensors?
I don't actually know how old he was, but we do have to remember as well that there is a lot of crossover between these two teams.
13 and 8 and else came 23.
Gen G, Kellen.
But Kellen was alongside Ruler on Gen G quite a few years ago as well, so some inside information.
That is crazy.
Kellen played with Ruler on Gen G.
I paid some attention to that we did say on May a few days ago.
Yeah, again, just loving how deep these storylines are.
Kellen.
I like that, although when we showed the experience
in finals stat graphic, not a lot there.
But these players have been playing for a while.
Kellen has been around for a while.
And so it gives a great opportunity
to kind of have a little bit of insight and see maybe there's
a little thing that's familiar to you.
The edges.
Here comes Gen G into the arena right now.
Getting prepared.
They had their own buzz.
series that they will be playing. They got to sit back and watch B and K, VRX. Yesterday dispatch
against D plus Kia, but they should be ready to go here. Yeah. I mean, they've done so many finals
before at Genji definitely going to be comfortable. Traveled so many times. Oh, I thought it was 1D5
for a second there. Oh, the rest of the back of the bus. Okay. Yesterday, big confidence
boost, right? Dominating your opponents in that manner. There's a 3-0. You don't have to
Oh my god, please fear ex just don't get 3-0 today, please
Please don't get triode
It's all 3-0 predictions surely what what
There's what this is 10 to 4 this isn't 14-0
You know what's crazy is that like we think of all the one-sided votes we've had in the LCK Cup.
Yeah, I think how many one-sided...
This one, Gen G...
I cannot stress how mental of an upset it is if fear X wins today.
It is astronomical, there is no... I'm not saying this to jinx, you know.
This is... I'm not saying this to jinx or Sally this, Sally that.
Like, just straight up, this is not doable for them.
No way
If fear ex win the lck that is the craziest shit you could have ever told me
T1 HLE Gen G out fear ex are the champions
No
Vic Lamont is top of the fucking lck
That bounce back would be the most ridiculous insane mental bounce back or
Or glow up of a mid laner or player ever seen like ever. That's insane
Like that guy that last year was disgusting. He was terrorizing games
He was the biggest problem on fear x by a mile and it was so blaringly obvious
They even tried to replace him with day star, but day star was even worse somehow
So they had to put him back in and didn't have a choice
So if he if they win this like it's
I need to know how he got that much better because something happened. You cannot just say that he just improved
No, he completely and utterly
Changed his entire style the 2026 final stars and became a demigod
Sorry small side rent but anyway
Full locking, yeah?
Opening ceremony and the opening video, the opening LCK finals video, slams.
Everyone shut up, everyone shut up!
Shut up!
10,000 people.
The 2020 LCK Cup Final will be held in Hong Kong for the first time in the history of the LCK.
The glorious champion will be born in front of these many fans.
All right.
Now, the 2020 LCK Cup Final in Hong Kong.
I will introduce the main characters of today's performance on the final stage.
First of all, the number is not a lie.
They have lost the battle of the LCK Cup, and now they have lost the battle of the LCK Cup.
From now on, you will never be afraid of the LCK.
SK's tiger, SK's overwhelming king,
SK's strongest wolf.
They even kept it easy once.
Top!
Kim!
Chung-Gye-ul!
Kye-Dyeon!
oh he gave him a nice one there oh he is staring into my soul
RULA
Holy bro Genji bro. Hell nah you wouldn't get it. Nah, there's no way
Genji's in a blast today
They got a dinner reservation
You know this could be one of the first series I've seen in a while where Gen.G are the fan
favourites and I don't mean that in a bad way but I think they're very popular in Hong
Kong and T1's not here.
in the crowd. The crowd will be on their side.
I hope Ferex does okay.
I hope they do okay, man. I'm all please fear ex please. I like I just a win just a win would be amazing
Just a win the underdogs my massive underdogs that it's
Let's see. Nah.
Am I understanding them a bit? I don't know.
This whole playoffs has just been a complete like disaster everywhere.
Let's go Vick Lamont baby!
That's you!
The demon difference maker bro, diabolus.
That kid can you never know bro, that's the difference maker right there maybe.
That guy doesn't give a fuck who's on the inside of the rift.
He don't give a fuck if it's Toby.
Oh
Cannons in the finals, let's go kill in
One more time please
BNK! B.O.X!
Gen.G and BNK P.O.X
BNK P.O.X and Gen.G
will be able to win the trophy today
Let's go!
Finals begin!
This is the real set!
Hoichi!
I'll do it!
Caster Jun!
Big W!
Caster Jun!
DUN DUN DUN DUN
Alright, let's fucking get it, come on!
Oh yeah, the video.
They don't normally do the cool videos for LCK Cup Ripe.
you
We get a decay loss chat who lost yesterday 30 for the first time they do think that as we go
okay we got the other way we're done some of the successes we saw from being k and how they were
able to get here but some of the context behind that genji will also have to prove that they
They have been able to adapt and evolve to the kind that has been king and our final few playoff best of vibes here
And that's a major part of why being a now stand on this ever met cast a June I have
There's a ton of fans here. Jesses of what just they completely filled one of those fans yesterday
I took a photo with it Genji fans today
It's definitely a Genji favorite audience here a lot of new fans for Diablo though after his performance yesterday
You have to think you have a second loudest cheers of any player really behind Chovy during the walkout
So excited to see that kind of evolving here as well. Yeah, it's a lot of time to see just how many fans
We have of the LCK here abroad in Hong Kong as well as the so many
nice fans talking to us and
Chubby about the LCK and the Korean players and stuff like that
So we're warming and awesome that we get an opportunity to be here. I see somebody posts on the reddit that there's so many red signs
really cool as
XTD's on the wall.
Daaamn!
Daaamn! Wait a minute!
That goes fucking ballistic!
Holy!
That's going in my fucking way.
That's getting downloaded. What the shit?
Yo, shades of art. Thank you so much for the art.
We got the Ratman
There's so many generate signs
If you're B and K, you already got first stand, you've made it to your first finals ever.
That's not enough.
You want to get that title.
You want to lift that trophy.
Double wants to bow to this massive crowd that loves him so much, so early on in his career.
He wants to have that moment, but if they lose here, no one will be disappointed.
They're massive favorites coming into this series.
For Gen G, the constant struggles this organization has had internationally,
Way over their heads the performance at Worlds last year
They're trying to bounce back from that way over their head
Boots up the drafts
The same roster there as well
And while this is a domestic title
They would pick up
It is being played overseas for the first time ever
So there's a lot of things that get into your head space
If you all want these players, if you lose momentum
If suddenly BNK is getting the better draft reads
There is a world in my mind
Where I could feel BNK stealing this one away
But on paper, when you look at the stats
the numbers the breakdown we had on the pre-shelf the mid lane matchup the top lane matchup the
sole lanes that are so critically even the left yet yes i have just feels like this is just too
much of an ass for any team doesn't matter if it was t1 here we'd still be saying that jenji were
favorites jenji go up 2-0 it's over so we'll give tx2 games before we count them out fully
But I hope they can take a game or so
They should put a lot of resources to make sure they get a good matchup as always I
Think both matchups are so important for Felix
For being K the rumble on the pantheon are definitely the two big ones you're looking at and you have to consider
between the virus and the vibe
Rumble by
Second pick so
These are the you just have to tank it. Chovy is here. You have to take it one game
There's certainly an interesting one here. So both of you know and the Niko are gone now. Is that just it?
Gen G's hands if they're not looking for a Boris themselves
They could ban it here as well. The Orianna, the Azir
They ban Azir. Why?
They don't want to trade this year Varus for what?
They match with an Orianna band, so Varus for Ruler is a no-brainer.
But she will lose on Vessa, which I think Fyreg's like.
No, they go Ryze over Varus.
Ryze, Varus and Mesa feel like they're like the good champs, you know.
Can Fyrex flex Varus top?
Let me have a look at Raptor.
Ah, here, sorry.
Nah, he doesn't really have any Varus top games.
Oh, he does!
He does have a decent amount actually, what the fuck?
Yeah, it's a flex.
What?
Now the 10G have an opportunity to just go ahead and blind pick Gwen
What they're just blinding is clear gonna it's a Gwen Jarvan Akali top is amazing here
Akali top is great
Varus top maybe not as great, but no great
It's a special of Great Navarra's that to Leah you mentioned to Leah into Jarvan
consideration
It's fine into rise, but the other time we like this in a situation like this where you are playing into rise and when I
Don't know how the global impact even with these two
You know they can bend in because you have to control the side lanes to then play through them as well as you would like
Sure the point and click song for the Pantheon to set up for the shop is absolutely there
you have chains of corruption as well but when we think about the greater
map that's where i get a little more concerned i think the bands here for
b and k will likely be the ezreal and the sivir
now i think it's surely been jinn right there for i's gwen against taliyah
with jarvin isn't jinn just going to make too many
picks uh composition is going to be able to do
i mean he will go sivir if they're out yeah but right now especially
uh definitely our best macro team here at the elskates i'm surprised they
just blind Gwen and they don't even Benford. How they have seen that before? Yeah, he loves
This is core Kinnami.
It has a strong two-item spike, and this feels like it has to be a super bad note.
Instead, with this, Gwen, and the front-line of the Jarvan, they're more concerned about
the Jhin.
I'm a little surprised to see that all the way.
I do think the Jhin works well here.
I think Bard is a bit scary for fear exes, and it's like, if they ban North here
and they force a Bard Blind, and if they pick Varus Bard, then they can just send
severe yeah not bad they threaten barred now do you take barred on four or not
because if you don't they're gonna slam corky barred and if you take barred
here they're probably just gonna slam corky nami they don't take the barred
We don't care. We think he is just good enough and they'll give the number just straight up
I think corky bar here is just fantastic isn't it for Gen. G or severe bar this good
Severe bonds a bit riskier generate a lead here. I think this is a very risky choice by Gen. G
But if we have to highlight the compass and this to me was the most no-brain choice
Here in the bottom lane that Gen. G could have gone for we've mentioned it several times
It's insane think about this. Just put the bar in the bag
Wise and Quinn if you get grubs in this game and you're Genji so you're likely to be ahead and what are you picking to this now?
You gave the bar
Well
I think the game is fucked already. I'm not gonna lie. I really see it. I mean the ass the bars
I don't see it. I don't I don't see Phyrax winning this
just disgusting and never thinking about the rel here which I hate this fear
extra quite a lot of engage and rely on ads if you know what I think is a
channel to find subscribe and support the channel if you sub now you won't
get ads for the next 30 days including all of first-hand I'll see you in a
second kiss can also be good into the Glenn frontline if you could try to
pick her off first but you're playing with Audi Boris in this draft clear
has such a huge responsibility in this game he's the only one who has a
a strong direct counter pick to what his opponents have put together here.
The blind Gwyn was not protected.
If he can generate a lead there, push King behind it, they can play through that top lane a little bit,
try to just play through the bar's range and stay stable down there.
I do think that in teamfights later on there's enough engages and enough tools
to break through what is otherwise an insane triple threat composition.
But remember, in every single fight, in every single setup,
one tempered fate can ruin everything they're trying to do,
Which is why I like they were con more than the rel because it allows you to try to circumvent that yeah play around it
But man, we've talked about draft a lot in these last few bestifies and to me there is a very clear winner between these two teams
And they're Genji. Yeah, I think you know Genji always fantastic at drafting
I will say that what being cake got yeah, I think this is all perfect for
And they have very obvious all perfect for Genji in draft
But you know we always have to there's always that disclaimer of like well you have to look at the other side, right?
And in terms of who won I would agree
I would agree because also this draft here for Gen G is very Gen G
And it is a lot of comfort for them and they should be able to play it really easily
You see this critters, uh, I have seen that yes
They're doing it wolf
I did they did to the fan chants
Yeah, well
They got it out this time, you know wasn't um
Wasn't probably seeing his pocket, but we're getting better every day every game
Getting better at the fan chants again difficult to coordinate with 10,000 people. Yes, I'm with no clear fan leader
You know, that's a system it took a long time to build as Garen been playing with that this year
No, this is only hit various here, but I think you can respect the attempt as well as only it varies this game
But it's the right thing to do because these are LCK fans true and I saw this in the LCS last night and it pissed me off
But I feel like
Nice still pisses me off
They think his team just has no damage if he's not auto-attacking together
be heavily favored coming into this round. I just don't see it, you know, uh, fan predictions
were also like 75 25. We had 10 of us going for Gen G, you know, even some, uh, three
zeros in there as level two is going to be hit here to be able to get away.
Can't kill Glenn Cedar. I mean, if Gwen W is a Varus Q poke, then just honor the rest
of your team for not being on the punish it. I think in front of a giant crowd to make
sure that you know they're on form because obviously if you look at DK it was the very opposite and that's
part of why yesterday was so unsighted. Yeah, bad draftries but individual performances were not
really there and I think only one player I could really say I was worried about the performance
of yesterday was Vickla and he didn't even have a bad day but he had some unusual moments
you know and there were reports going around. Ferex enjoyed how we're feeling about the drafts.
Take that as you will hopefully he's doing better today but at the end of the day it's
It's about how you play your draft in League of Legends at this high level when you get to the end of the tournament
Where we are looking at the best two performing teams
Absolutely lovely
So sometimes form on the day can bounce away
All the stats all of what we talked about before the last year winless
LCK Cup feels so far away here for B&K
They've never been this close to lifting a domestic title
And all it takes is three wins
We've had a relatively quiet early game here, Pryo going to the Silver Barred Lane
And otherwise things changing up exactly as you would expect. We see Canyon is pathing mid as even.
Rillar just running through.
Oh Diable kind of cooked them here, what the fuck?
Didn't exactly work out.
Oh Diable's trading and movement there was great.
Rillar mentioning how the later it gets in the tournaments, the bigger the stage, the colder it gets.
He's gonna show B and K in Diablo what it's like to feel that really highlighting
his experience, but here comes the...
And now we got Diablo in a plot of trouble and the Flash forward from Canyon picks up the first blood just like that.
They were prepared for this possibility.
They had to lure...
It killed the knock-up and the Flash comes through from Canyon and that is that
the punish of the punish they thought they were gonna get the punish there on the
overstatement ruler friday deny his backs and instead it's canyon who comes
up through current botan died to its shebao it's not the first time we've seen
this guy they can early trip to the bottom lane on the jarvan
and pick up a big w ruler to the bad tape to debate
but that ward was so valuable for b and k they did their due diligence
yeah but sadly it is just not enough yeah i mean the timing was actually
Perfect here. Look at the the ward that they have they push forward
They know they have that vision Canyon waits like you said the timing is perfect
He sees his angle. He's a go there too far up and then this year from Kellen if he hits this knock-up
Then obviously there's a lot more play here, but it's flashed by Canyon. He gets the kill
And meanwhile Vigla was teleportless is ghosting back to lane was a few minions
It's just a really good read from Canyon that he knows, you know if he cannot get knocked up
it's a free kill and so he just expends his flash in the perfect timing to make
sure he does get away well here's been doing pretty good
he's enjoying this I don't know very familiar with nervous Glenn match up but
I guess Glenn just sits under the tower and farms for a while quite a while
I'm also very curious to see what's gonna happen here in the top lane as we
have level six hit by clear but no kill pressure just yet as keen also
at six they're just pressing all of his buttons try to get the best trade here
possible the bottom side of the map a lot of prior actually going over to being
this is a crazy Drake start are you sure you can just take this they're gonna
look to scrap for it though Gen G you'll see if the weaver's wall can be
placed here to deny yeah I mean you definitely can come in here as Kelly
I'm gonna try to engage Canyon trying to get into the big he's going to look at the back and he stole it
It's a completely wild
Troby, what are you doing?
It's a giga stomp bro, it's a giga stomp. It's gonna be a giga stomp like oh no man
That's what I'm saying. We'll give them two games the first game. I think they're completely cooked in draft
But we'll give them one more game, and I think I'm gonna count them out for a trio
I just don't see how their champs can win the game
Varus Taliyah Rakan
Just sounds so useless
They're playing doubly mobile carries against Jarvan Bard and Severe has a good matchup
And they have Ryze and Tattaya, which is just a pushing lane like what?
How much but look at the Jarvan Bard value this game?
Let's just pretend Spherex have no flash now on Varus. How does he play the game for the next 10 minutes?
Like what happens when Canyon's listening to Sabrina carpet?
Lalalalala, lalalalala, bdddd, EQR, bdddd.
That's what's gonna happen.
He's gonna walk bot, press EQR, and even better if Chovy has a wave in mid pushed out, over.
He can come bot at any moment right now and just press those two buttons.
quite ready if you're already ahead like this and that has made his presence felt
already the frustrating thing for being K and partially why they decided to
commit their speaking commitment all we got a pamtown coming on and as that is
going to be temperate use big kill there was nowhere for him to go and he
doesn't even flash except his death so that's a big temperate bait to help
ruler get out but it is not going to save his life as rulers didn't have
flash there but he could just walk it off and have a bit of an old year for
clear we're going back to the dragon fight I think the reason why being a
committed so heavily is because they had my big kill they had the weavers wall and
yet still couldn't fight their way out of it. Kenny looks like he wants to get his full
payoff. I'll scare you in terms of implications for all the rest of the fight.
Before he plays too much. The scheme does have his ultimate. Clear? No. Just relax.
All good. He did not do enough damage. But the wave is rough. It's kind of hanging
out like death relations. That wave is so rough. It's frozen or what? So yeah, the
NAR answer so far, not feeling too bad.
It's started well.
That's frozen.
At this moment in time, you know, he does have just the call in the merc treads.
A little bit of health he picked up on this final back here.
It's going to be a little bit easier for Keen to take those traits, but the play was great
from Keen.
He used the wave aggressively once the NAR was gone.
He can bounce back here for sure and we'll be able to farm well, as long as nothing
else disastrously occurs there on the top side.
Speaking of the growth, he's fine.
Phyrix needs to fix top wave.
It's fine.
They have spawned here.
TP going to come in from Duro.
But it may be clear that he's fixing himself.
Canyon's a bit psychotic. Oh, he got it.
by the way to I mean like the elbows going mid but he's not he's not gonna be
here on time nice might hear from Raptor but at least they are just like this
one though yeah he just takes the two and now Genji he's so quick he's so
quick he's such a slippery red from the early game the pressure he's had on
these objectives the secures the baiting it has been a master class
Yeah, there's a play here.
Where's Dick Lamont?
Wait, that's fucking Raptor go.
Wait, I'm so confused, what?
Good kill. Why did he have to flash?
Did he start running away or what?
I thought that he was like ready to gank.
this but in fact Raptor was there didn't have to use his ultimate either so I
actually still has his old and now Sunred Sky to come over here and contest the
dragon just say Jesus take the wheel if they can kill them on the straight ice
too late this minute it's just gone as well so they just yeah oh my god magical
journey over the wall and it's a free one and infernal soul comes in and
Chachy have double dragon they have double dragon the infernal soul on the
Alright, Diable has Blade.
Teeping out, Helna, Bowswood runs for his life, kite the going all the way to here,
make her lose a wave, die, and then TP on the wave and kill her.
it and what being cake exchange is a residual scuttle crab yeah all good all good the game
is still playing I think and clear got the table has played on gold a very nice and decent
spot actually this is an hour we're talking about it's it's not like a hyper scaling
pick it can take over games but you know it's a lot of pressure on clear as an hour
to deal with a rise and a simmer as this game comes along.
I do think that if he can maintain this lead and he has a call to cash in soon, he's going
to be a big problem that Gen G will have to commit a lot of resources for.
But luckily for Gen G, they have a rise.
That makes it a lot easier.
If it was just Gwen trying to deal with this straight up with the Jarvan with the Pantheon
on the other side, the snar becomes a lot more difficult to deal with because of
the global presence there.
But they can match that to a certain set of rise.
I have a 2v2 here, I don't think it will really amount to much, but Diablo can get some of that damage through, it doesn't hit as hard as it would if it were a, you know, Euromus in his inventory right now, but he does have the Blade of the Ruined King, so a big spike for him, can fight a scrappy skirmish here around this Herald for example, B&K could get right back in this game.
They don't have to dive the planet, it's like...
There's not really a way to stab him.
I'm not gonna do it. I saw like 5 pings and I'm like, really?
This bar is constantly hovering up here.
Isn't it a bit scary for... for...
...victimons?
Play the game?
Very scary, I think.
Caster's louder.
Is that better?
clear for gen g it doesn't feel like you're ever gonna have said fair fight is clear some
trouble and i'm trying to kill here maybe a flash but it's not quite quite a lamb the
stream's not coming that's going to be the end of that
not even a flash i believe with unsealed there which was very funny
doubles you need some money on the other side of the map
battle this is not a net loss necessarily here for being k what's the reason for
unhit baron's skin i don't set up going to be like keen is getting so i don't know i mean
I guess your baron's faster. Jarvan dies a little quicker.
I wonder if it's because against Jarvan specifically, you get locked in the ult? No you don't.
I don't know. I think poke is...
Fuss.
Oh no, Vicklamont.
No, no, no.
He needs to go back to the Vicklamont of the L-Stakeup, not the Vicklamont of last year.
Lock in.
I'm not sure about that one. Maybe they don't want to fight for it. We do have a lot of plates that are traded back and forth.
I saw a couple going to Keen.
This might be the best fight B&K gets the rest of this game. They have the better group up. Clear does not have teleport, but neither does Keen.
There's 4v4 scrap. Could be the best chance they have to win a teamfight here.
True.
And get themselves back in it because I think if they simply do not get that that does not happen
Or if they lose the fight, it's even you know the door is really closed on this one
And Gen Z know that this is a fight that's somewhat favorable for being K despite their lead and they're just not gonna walk straight into it
Arrow it hasn't spawned yet. They actually play the safe. They clear the vision
And it's actually being K who has to relinquish control
They were a bit too early on the setup and Gen G just play it out patiently and now the tables have turned completely
completely clears teleport is coming back oh nice movement
victim on strange but big oh Kelly wait a minute begin to play by duo wait a
minute hold on essentially I'll place him in the room on just rolled in that
was a really cool attempt there from Dura that's a Herald for fear X right
fortunately a bit of a miss execute just gets out nice from fear X and that's
a dead bard right before this rip hair so that fight I was talking about they
Also, Bartled's on cooldown, so they could use the Herald straight away. There's no Bartled to stop the Herald crash.
Nice double jump.
What is Keen doing? He's like, whiffed half spells. He's trying to chunk him for a dive, but...
Nice cover by Kellyn.
They'll have his ultimate so I think we need to get this trade quick.
Quinn has no ult, Chovy's with late, Bard has no ult.
Player survives, he's got his NAR bar set for this dragon, and B and K just off of that
duo pick alone might be able to get back to back objectives here.
It's free, it's free.
Chovy's staying top.
Okay, I still think the game's going to be really hard to win, but one HP on
his mind.
the first infernal drake going to be pretty huge for but maybe now they can
step in stone read a little bit where their compass just so strong and before
Jim Z's really scales up keeping it very close and honestly you know being
k they keep this up could absolutely come back in this game yeah the herald
will line up now with the how I feel about this game with the Bartels head
lead obviously this was the you know magical journey attempt for the link
up and then obviously the chubby comes through and they get the pick on the
K-Club, but he does avoid the temperate duo gets hit by it.
It's a very funny situation for the fans watching.
And unfortunately, it's a big win for B and K, but that leads to Harold, that leads to Dragon.
But what I was going to say is, the fact that with these comps, they're keeping this game even.
They look like they are just straight up equals with Gen.G in terms of what this game is looking like thus far,
despite the deficit, which is even arguably more impressive.
It's a good sign here for B and K.
Let's see what happens though as we move forward further and further into this game
Like you said with a scaling draft that you and I vastly prefer here for Gen G
Basically the gnar is 800 of the gold leap
As we are going to see a group up top side here, drafter does have his ult
They want this turret, but I don't think they get it on this wave and they back away
They did look at him for about a split second menacingly and then walked that long
First bot tower is near the trophy at this rate
the band down zero one and three in this game but back to the exist means that
these have to opt out of a lot of these attempts they're looking for the like yeah
just not safe enough yeah if he's ever there it's over oh Vicklamont oh he
failed the Q flash as well he's fine well played by Vickla really well played
now they can Herald top shortly
get this turret it looks like here they do that first blood tower you know
vikla month played that very nicely but in terms of star it they pull the head
into the the gold lead here being heroes kind of he's with me that's that's three
spells of a three kill these are with with the toppled he's the bottle and
the Q flash he's missed them all and we did see in melee range on barred melee
He's in the bottom lane, probably picked up some more plates, but he's still a thousand
one hundred gold behind Clear who got a bunch of the money up in top lane from the first
turret going down so.
The blind clan, they were like, oh and I'm sure about this and then they were like,
oh no it's Kayne, he's doing great, but now we're like, hmmm.
This haven't been given enough resources and when the Pantheon is missing, it's
hard to commit heavily if you're canned into these scenarios.
Yeah, so, B and K holding onto map control, holding onto a gold lead here that is
almost entirely gnar.
I say that, they have dropped back down to a small deficit. They were holding it for a moment.
The game starts to feel even though, because this lead for Gen.G is still there.
They have a double dragon advantage, and they have the scale in composition.
The IE is already done for Ruler, they've given us drafts, and the fact that he has cleansed his spell shield as well as his flash available.
You know, he doesn't need to really build anything else. He just goes straight to IE and he's like,
I'm already basically on my way to becoming the highest damage dealer in this game
And Toby will have something to say about it when he gets his actualizer for now
He won't be quite doing the same to I think ours is halfway through his well
They can definitely tear through objectives
Somehow utilize this gnar to push side lanes and play through it with Raptor
They need to be able to do that either aggressively on the opposite side of spawning objectives so that they can
Then pull Genji around the map would go on the same side and try to turn those picks into a parent take
For example easier said than done with this trap, but they do have the tools
Just calls again
Nice timing from Diablo's going each way
Q would have got it, but Diablo takes it
peace and now we got the envelope in a trouble he is gonna have to flash out of
this one our flashes back pumps the damage down those canyon but ruler
just fries them bro this severe just eats their champs
we're just getting them apart clear alone now is the damage too much from the Gen G
composition clear he's probably gonna get away from this one but it's still
a good fight for Gen G seems so much like this game is fell like B and K or
trying to say our fans diff will beat the stat check but chinchi are given a
reality check this one is clear is trying to defend this turret it is
ramping hard it will be successful but that last fight our flash from diabol
was clean but you can see the severe is just that if both 80 carries are
going to stand there ground and auto-attack the severe is going to win
every time that's why the poke virus is just better isn't it
I mean the draft itself is just horrible for fear x to play
Evacuate the pit as that pearl drink this go over to Genji
So what's up here for being cater like?
Soul point already out. Yeah, it's kind of cooked really felt like for a while
Maybe being K could prove that
It's okay though. I think some good signs right there were some moments
There's some out place that could turn this draft on its head
Went against the grain of the meta. I think fear X go game two and this slam ash Seraphine
Which I really like here like that's exactly what's gonna happen
But there are so many limitations to what you could do with this draft
And now Jenny really just hold all the cards every single
Upcoming dragon fight could be game losing for being cave. They don't opt in and even if they get map control
They have a favorable setup. Jenny can opt out
And that with this much wave clear like we've been talking about
I don't know if there's ever going to be a prior favorable situation for being came for the rest of this game
Oh, Rude's items.
Rude's items, my mamia.
Oh my god, he has the pentaneal to the kill.
He needs the pentaneal to the Baron, right?
But actually, he would be way too late anyway.
Well, I'd go in for a Baron. Fuck it.
It's actually not that bad for Phyrix.
But the bad stuff is gonna happen now.
that both tier one is dead
I didn't get a haircut to look like Ruler and Chovy
no
they cut their hair around the same time
yeah it's absolutely not going to be I'm not I'm not cutting my hair to be like
we're really all about that's a knockback on a canyon who has been so
tanky if there's a damage at holy there's a damage at this scenario
oh the kills comes in on the right there's a damage comes out of 17 what the
fuck was that brawls does get them to safety and then ours pushing the
teleport walls coming down I mean track hatch ruler here but it's it's a
I mean, this is not gonna work as they're desperately trying to get the picks going
and now we got a GP coming in
but they're moving forward and that's why the ruler is big
and right there's taking the frontline
but it's really pretty fighting battle and clear
it's pretty gigantic on this snore
he wants to push forward
and he is on the hook
look at this guy
little Minionar just sprinting at them
but he's kind of alone
taking a bunch of damage from ruler now
Chovy
Oh my god that Ryze combo
What was that?
Q flash EWQ?
He's a complete machine gun bro
What?
He just TikTok Ryzeed
He's so clean
And he's so quick
moment they commit to the gnar play they don't sit him inside they know that they
just let Genji play through this baron they are just never going to be able to
have an even or fair trade so they go for the all-in fight the hail Mary but
Genji do not fall apart they respond well well this fight this setup here on
the canyon he's caught instantly there isn't a big response in this show he's
pretty good at League of Legends I think he's not too shabby I think I
It was Q flash EWQ, and it was like really quick.
It was really quick.
Ah, come on, Fyrax. Next game though, next game. Better draft than play the game.
I don't mind two wins, I just want Fyrax to get one game.
But his rise was mental, or?
How does no one block, though?
That's another question.
Crabbo's just getting murdered, look.
He just gets runned down.
Oh my god, it's such an unplayable game.
Alright.
Vula.
No draft resources to got countered by the gnar
When you have triple threats two of the three deathless until this very moment
They are gonna do way too much damage. We're worried about the way for
Genji lost the game yet. Yeah, they have they lost to a DK one game
30 minutes and change and take the decisive first win in the series
Mama Mia
And you know on paper there the better team
This is exactly what you wanted to see in game one. Really no punches pulled. They get the first blood. They scale up real quick
And they just outplay them at every turn. They are drafted and our opinions right? It seemed pretty obvious there and
The UK were just never able to put two or two together and some of them
They saw those teamfights, Gen.T
We gave them one game. Don't be a game on any K-Drum locking.
that they played this game and how Diablo tried to play it in the aggressive
Okay, I'm locked in
I feel like B&K said, you know what, like, scissors can't we just do it right
cut through rock in this game like they were trying to out-mechanic they were
trying to win this game just by their individual skills but if you look at
the names on the other side I can only get you so far when you look at the
draft on the other side it seemed like it was going to be potentially a
bridge too far about us I do think there were some good moments here
For being K though those some signs of life. I do not think we are gonna have the same one-sided series. We saw yesterday
There's no gap. There's no this. I mean there's a gap but the gap is
They never give up and they shouldn't just yet but still genties start off really strong in this best of five taking game
One of my colors and we'll see you after the break to oh
Yamato
of
I
Diable Draven does even play Draven
He does
For like a lot
What is this?
The country will host worlds.
Genji Chovy, I hope I won't get shot in the US.
What?
When did he say it?
Is that real?
Oh, this was World 2022, he said it.
Oh, I remember something like this, yeah.
I do remember something like this.
I hope I won't get shot.
What is this?
Create your nation's cup teams.
Bro, they didn't even bother putting United Kingdom on this.
They didn't even bother.
of
do what it doesn't matter what I do it doesn't it's not it's just a for fun
thing you know it's not like an actual voting system it's just hey let's add a
feature that people can fuck around on
chat there's no fun allowed in the stream no fun allowed
No, you're not allowed to have fun
All right, fine, we'll do it team China, I mean we got to go bean
Jungle go
Bro does some of these players still play like how is bow in here bow
Geju GLF AS who the I
Leanne does Leanne still play am I crazy I haven't watched the others this split I
I feel like this isn't really updated very well.
Angel, Charlotte, Hi Chao on OMG, XQC.
See.
Down.
Down, down, down, down.
One player in exit, yeah.
I think the ENC is going to choose people to then choose coaches to then choose the teams
anyway so it's whatever.
Will I play for Team UK?
No, of course I'm not going to play for Team UK bro, I'm 30 years old.
Listen.
Is there any mid laner in the United Kingdom better than Sally?
No, there isn't.
Does that mean that I'll compete in a nations cup?
No.
I'm not rocking up to a nations cup with fucking UK meal deal on my left.
No I'll motley on my right and go against team Korea.
It's just not happening.
It is just not happening.
Not happening.
Head coach?
me head coach either bro we would need fucking Jesus not a head coach we're
about that
a resilient effort by being K fear X in their first riot finals but they fall
short as Gen G scale and that was a lot of damage by their carries they take a
I can give you the equivalent of the UK at the eSports Nations Cup. I'll give you the equivalent, okay?
This is what the UK would look like at an eSports Nations Cup
Look at her stuff.
For a couple battles here in the round robin.
A nice chance to showcase who they are.
Explained their creativity.
A Nika knows you can see Nika knows.
She's probably at a slightly higher level.
That's me trying to do Baron.
It would be cooked.
Listen.
It would be completely cooked
Me when I play worms Armageddon, what?
But he actually manages to buffer the size build the team. I mean the team would be al-fari
So actually top could be payable
And they also gets the smite down onto the dragon mid
So kind of a two-in-one situation
Much longer time here and you can see being K-Pirates still trying to finish off Canyon
And it would be casting so many resources and to take them down
They lost the dragon and they lost the fight. So yeah
But the whole point of playing Pantheon, Taliyah, Rakan,
we bring Max Lorra out of retirement.
From Max Lorra and Alphariah coaches now.
And then I think you could say Deadly in Kasim,
but I say Spearshot and Watli.
I think the Tamkensh Pantheon bot
is absolutely out of control.
That would be Team UK.
I'm getting away with some craziness.
I'm just saying, like in theory, you can do this,
But, you know, like he's just pulling it off every single time and that doesn't make sense, you know?
Like, I'm pretty sure, like Kenyan previously before the draft, I mean, if they pick Pantheon, just give me Jarvan, I can just do this, you know, and he pulls it off.
And this is quite amazing.
I feel like this is just gonna get into your head as well, if you wrap the frames to continue.
So, it's 1 Go Beach now, and he just comes back in after that, he actually gets that last grove as well, slides away on it.
Um, but it just feels like he's rubbing it at that point every flag and drag I feel like
It's just he gets extra value. It's it's kind of ludicrous
And I think this is a great testament to the canyon that we wanted to see today instead of the one that we saw
Who is the highest illo you came in later the combination we've seen quite a lot
I found him and he did it. Yeah, it reminds me of the performance last year of duro on the nautilus
where he was just constantly cancelling things out with the hook.
I think now the pressure was on, Canyon showed up here.
This guy is, oh, it's a Vladimir OTP.
Despite those early moves,
VKP Rex, they were resilient and found ways back into the game
with the pick here on the Canyon.
So they finally get it.
Show them what their comp wants to do based on their primary target.
But Gen.G, despite the fact that they've lost Canyon
and didn't have a chance.
Bro, how many Vladimir OTPs are in this country?
VKP Rex, despite the comp that's really...
Like, look at this.
In this position,
You might think oh 1.5 K challenger. No, he's a Zed OTP. Oh
My god 1.1 K 6 1.1 K challenger
No, he's actually also a Vladimir OTP
And he might think okay, let's keep going down. Let's keep going down. Oh another one six on LP. Yeah, he is actually also a
And then you go down, okay, 486, 486, what is he, oh wait, he's a Vladimir OTP, bro,
what has happened to my country bro?
They're on the tower was so so unfortunate there for clear and the health bar is getting so low
And this is reminiscent of the last time these two teams played when you know
DK for X try to bite off a bit more than they can chew and then suddenly every other team is dead
And the game is just firmly over from that point onwards bloody hell
Bloody hell you can do one more. All right, can we bring up just like one more?
I said it yesterday, but I'll say it again quickly. The Lost of Tomes
Final T is out. Look at the help people are asking for a final goodbye t-shirt. We made it
It's quite sweet
Gets on in if I don't check it out
It's a nice piece a piece of memory
Big W's big W's last T
year and 70 400 on the dog it's a perfect smite it's a perfect smite we
have ever seen yes that number was around here it's lost for a tone stop
shopping if it was like a split millisecond maybe last retellings however
that's the best one I've ever seen he might just be captivated himself
he looked at it he looked at the bar is it their store gonna close it'll
probably close in a few weeks yet
that's the money he actually got to glance at the run man's look oh wow look at that
he's so good he was like we don't have anywhere else to go if I smite this
that and then then then then then then then then
two wins away from the lck cup their first ever let's see if they're gonna
gain number two
thank you spacers as we are getting ready for game number two
CHooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovey!
Yeah yeah yeah.
They are. Genji really are just another level.
It's gonna be a roughie.
two now see what they want to go for the pantheon is removed now those there's a
little bit more flexibility on bands here for the gen g side with second kick on
their side of things else cake up trophy moving here it's on the center of
the stage right in front of this massive audience with the first trophy
being a lift they can do it here tonight a bit of a rough start in this
All right now fear exes first pick
Interestingly and Vic Lamont can get his is here if you want spots. Let me check Vic Lamont
I feel like it's Vic Lamont just losing on his here
but something to consider here
50% when we're gonna see you
Aurora
Aurora eventually lost on a zero against Gen. G the first time
Yeah, he could be but I think ruler will just pick his corky bro
Corruption it got me nice machine. It's based to a ruler will say and he will lock it in
They don't ban the you know, I think they're hoping to pick it here
Why is Chovy and Rula's hair already longer than yours?
I don't know, bro. Their hair grew way quicker than mine.
What the fuck is that?
Nolten is banned.
Mm-hmm.
Niko first pick.
We're gonna first pick Niko.
Surely it's Niko first pick.
And Chovy says okay, are you really gonna give me Orianna?
Yeah, but are you really gonna give Chovy Orianna?
I mean Niko value is insane, Karman North Bend barred out.
Like anything here really, and feel pretty good about it.
Xin Zhao, a tank in the top lane.
So it's Niko Orianna.
Well, ultimately, well, Vika should be able to pick up the Orianna here.
That's a lot of respect shown to Diablo.
Yeah, I mean I think that is, when you see him right there,
This was a fake ban. They banned North and said we're gonna first pick Niko, ban Niko.
They didn't ban Niko. They were like, shit, okay I'll just take Orianna.
Because if they banned Niko, they would get Orianna first for free, I guess.
But Gen.G's not even gonna go for it. Ash Seraphine.
Serafim, fuck, I said, Firx is gonna go Ash Serafim in game 2.
Oh, Firx not getting Ash Serafim is quite sad.
What?
What is the counter to Ash Serafim?
I don't know.
Is it Korkinami?
Is it Zeriyumi?
It's time for Nocturne. It's time to drop bot lane.
Renekton? Okay.
So it's either Akali here or it's...
...Jungle, which would be Sin or Wukong. I think Sin and Wukong can fit. I think Akali fits.
You know, Joey's gonna put a lot of thought into what he wants to play here. It has to be something
and someone survived against this and he's considering the Galeo.
Oh my god, Genji, come.
Genji, come.
Later on, instead they will grab the Galeo.
Really strong. Any sort of front liner that can take a lot of hits is always gonna feel great when you have the Serafina Ash.
Any sort of CC like taunt the arrow comes through and then if you can get a taunt to set up the on-core
That's amazing, but just your body alone will extend the range of the ultimate
The Niko will get banned away here
One of the only range champions left that could potentially help a lane go toe-to-toe
They banned the Niko, they banned the Zin, good
And I expect, well, what would you see a Yumi ban in that?
What is the jungle pick for GNG?
What else they would like to take away?
It's Munkong, right?
but they will ban Wukong
they are actually getting rid of the Zeriyumi
oh yeah they could go ambessa flex on 4 here
ambessa flex on 4 here is scary
Well, it's actually not that scary because they have Renekton, but Ambessa jungles kind
of busted surely.
Aatrox, Ambessa, they've got AD junglers to spare, they have Sion, Ornn, Ambessa.
And it looks like he's gonna opt for this ambassador, but the great part is it's still technically flexible
Still technically who is it core Kinami is that it is that the best you can do
MF
I feel your stress
Kalista
You have to go Blitzcrank then or what? Can you go Kalista Renata into Ash Seraphine? Is that playable?
Kalista into Ash Seraphine, but it's that has to be into Ash Seraphine, Kalista Renata
because I thought maybe they would consider the cannon here into the Renekton because they also don't have to really...
I think it's cooked again.
Chat him in the adge for our adge so that he can farm enough sub-senna to once back to the MC because...
Nocturne close to six.
I don't like the bottom two.
Yeah, I think the Kalista ran out to super cooks.
Diablo's going to have to show us something
that we've never seen before.
And Kella will have to hit some amazing handshakes.
They're going to have to dodge everything from Duro.
Not a fan.
In order to make this work.
But maybe they'll just sit under turret
and look for a mid-game power spike instead through bailout.
I do think, and maybe this would be controversial to say,
but I like this draft for B and K versus Gen.D is better than I like the ratio in game one and game one
It felt completely unplayable to me and this game
I think there are certainly some angles and there's once again a lot of comfort here for these players on
These picks on the B and K side
What I will say is that Orianna Nocturne can absolutely make
Seraphine's life hell, you know, just blow her up before she's really able to do anything
But if you don't get this trio and everybody's like melee range
Yes, it is.
Is it cooked or can we still win? Well, unless Diablo 2v2 kills him like five times in the first ten minutes, I think this game is...
I will wait to see though I just think Genji's draft is insane isn't it like
look at it it just looks broken they have Galeo and Orianna which is an
answer if I'm playing Nocturne here who am I
ulting obviously I can go bot but like I'm Bessa and Zahin on the same team
with a seraphine? 9. Oh that's an old school OG Orianna skin. Nice Q by Chovy. That is
an old school Orianna skin. Why is the left side of your hair growing faster than the
right side of you here. What do you want about?
Holy Gallio skin.
We're gonna have some serious issues here in the 2v2.
Yeah, the 2v2 is what it is. It's Ash Serafim, being came to what they're getting themselves into.
They say, well, we're never gonna win the lane with what's available, so we're just gonna pick this and play for outside the lane.
They're laying early on for 2v2, it's going to be very annoying as Orianna, this is what she does pretty much everybody is not really on the team.
What is that skin called? Is it seen stress or some shit?
you out for relatively low mana costs and can make your life very miserable but
some chaos that's it you know can go hallowed radiance that's what I was
looking for and then go into a bunch of armor or even into AP see what I hear
the word radiance I think it's like the colors like gold or the items just
looks purple it's been pretty common in drafts like this we'll have a ton of
Oh because it's holo radiance.
Oh shiiiit.
The raptor skipped the crab and insta clicked bot making it so Genji think that he's finishing
crab right now but he's actually just insta ganking this is really smart by
raptor
we're keeping Diablo and Kellen at arm's length as the fear should be coming down here
onto ruler who has already blasted, he's getting low and he's going over raptor in the park
this was really smart by raptor he showed here and Genji thought oh we can
contest he's gonna do crab he instantly clicked like this to get the full set of
summers and they kill onto ruler he'll goes over to her so the timing was a bit off
important for his stacks as we zoomed through this replay really quickly but
the thing about the nocturne is when you get the kills early which you're not
supposed to really ideally for the enemy team okay Phyrex a little bit of pace
not gonna step in my chair yet but I like it even on the first alt yeah and
so that is really really important for the tempo of this game not to mention the
fact that now the Polista has a significant advantage in terms of gold
and is able to pick up berserker greaves right away it is so huge for you posture you're right
and so now you got this top lane that's you know never gonna be fun for keen but he picks the
Zahein because he's still with a lot of close-range members on the other side like Genji's composition
have a lot of tools when it comes to teamfighting later on but if bottom lane gets behind and top
lane's already struggling in mid lane as well maybe being tanking gets some kind of momentum
If you live slaps on the floor on your back, is that good posture?
Just become a carpet
Called that recoil animation. Thanks go to Kensen. I want to watch it again
You're winning at life if you're the Kalista in this game.
Yeah.
I was going to say, look who's back.
I mean, Raptor's down here once again.
I don't think he is trying to get the gank.
I think he just wants to pick up the Scuttlecrab
and hit six off of it.
If he has done this correctly, he's also starting the dragon.
So yeah, Kenin should board it.
Rude just did his first back.
So he sees it.
He also has Galeos, but his bot lane is under tower.
We can get the push through.
The HUD looks quite bugged.
It looks like Rude just flashed,
but he didn't have it for a while already.
Oh my god, he gets it. Oh my god, and he leveled. Okay, he died. Jesus, Canyon. He just flips it.
He just completely flips it. I know he has Q2 Smite, but did he have Smite advantage or not?
Hope your smite finger's ready, Raptor, because he's going to play this fight.
On to his ultimate from Raptor, he's still able to flash away.
As clear as looking for an aggressive play here, I think Power W.
Yeah, I came in a little bit of trouble, but not really having enough pressure to get the kill.
Well, I guess Renekton is good against their Bruisers.
No, I'm just going to steal all of your things, as we do have the arrow coming down into Kellen.
But, again, not enough pressure to actually drop the kill, but it's still a very nice
early lane, inside of being K. Two kills down, and it's time to land her.
The blind lane is going swimmingly, as good as you could hope for it to go, essentially.
And now we've been looking for a little bit more, we get the zoom in, level six.
Yeah, no flash here, root still.
Oh, there's enough space.
I step on the handshake.
And I think if they get anything there, like the handshake connects or feeds calls,
close enough to catch the raptor can look for an old play they still want to make
something of no glass oh my god that's not a truck that's ruler what he just solo
killed him right was the sick jungle camp there he was the crugs
he's just making it happen aggressive passing getting into the back you'll
I'll take that, that's better than a Krug.
OOPTING FOR KRUGS
Surprised they got these good kills in bot.
He just has smite advantage. It's actually pretty easy for Kenyon to land that.
I find it so funny that he's looking for crux, it's Ruler, because he has no vision on Ruler
right, so he doesn't even know he's there. He must know he's around you know, but...
And now he has Hexplate as well, so the ults are coming and they're coming fast
Oh, it's Raptor, you're 1k up with a Hexplate, just fucking send it
He's been able to manage early on as the arrow
Oh my god, that timing
It doesn't really matter, does it? I'm best holster?
It does matter
I'm just gonna throw a shotwave in the flash to try to get away
You can see what he's going for there
So, not a very comfortable position for our Orianna player
I mean the thing is ruler is just like I've seen a thousand TPs I know that
timing I know where you're gonna land and he this says you think you could his
TP back I was actually in seeing me well time there in seeing and then the
fall from Chovy doesn't require flashed really easy for him to just go up and
get that taunt set up so forces Vickla out of lane means that Raptor has to
clean up things clear it's just been quiet be winning here for Chovy in
in this mid lane obviously the early game was tough he's completely out of it now
yeah it's just biting his time trying to build up to that hall of radiance some
raptor is gonna be stole by raptor raptor stolen I got there in the end he does
this very often so kind of getting the media is going to take down that ward
as well trying to further his lead as much as possible and then just trying
a power farm to keep up as much as possible. Raptors here he has his ult of course.
That can't get really far away, that root's gonna buy some significant amount of time
and there's no way they can get out. They have flashes this time though, so I just
don't think they can commit without a wave.
Yeah, can't even stop going over there. Go straight to his raptor cap.
Raptor.
god if orcs was here he'd be making the raptor jokes
b&k have generated a significant lead in the jungle
same fear, 3x can win
it's not enough to yet feel like they're in control of this game
they lost the dragon to the smite fight
genddy have so much to rest on in this game because they have the ash seraphine club
the anti-cholista
all the cc
and this renekton hasn't been played through really just yet
See what he can do in these teamfights, because he's another melee that if he doesn't get charmed or rooted or taunted or
Ulted by Ambasah or skewered by Kingen. He can get a lot done
It's a lot of things he has to avoid. Keep drake. Play top lane. So this dragon will be in case and of course
This is calculated Canyon
Lena's going for the Roa build. Hmm. To try to steal once again
I'm gonna smite this one down and it's Mountain Soul that does come in and wave
is here a little bit for potential paranoia they're not gonna commit though
it's just too thin so it is just dragging like you say
Alright well the Hins is getting a bit of a better time now. I think that the
Calista in particular always enjoys some additional resistances especially
when she gets later on the game and no blade yet on Calista
even if individual mountain drakes feel quite nice
alright buddy take my emeralds
now minecraft villagers are just fucking scammers
they are straight up scammers
alright big purchase worth Yabli
just yet his raptor has done so much I don't think he could do any more yeah in
this game and yet still feel like he's going to have to if they're gonna hold
on to the school to damage yeah in fed nocturne again can be very scary you know
vikla doesn't need to be fed to put hey mr. minecraft villager oh you want to
trade which should be the main target or even ash you would like to trade to
emerald from the bottom of the earth for a slice of bread
Oh my god!
Chats, you're supposed to say lol.
Alright.
Is Veclamon gonna swap? Not Veclamon, Diably?
No, no swap.
Which I know is gonna make a lot of people roll their eyes in this game can swap anywhere. He wants right now
He's so broken that much case going mid. He's telling me come on to go, but the Choby's gone
He's just able to walk it off every single thing that Nicola throws at his mean
Chad is really mean with OTP here if you committed to a roam the backfire immensely
The game is just again slowed down to a halt and that gold lead if you pull up the graph
You'd see it's dropped about 50% here for being K what they had before
can they find a pick in this bot side jungle?
On the whole map for Genji, okay there's three, and one of them was covered, there's the control ward and there's two ward defensive on the bottom side of the map
We've got a couple over here as well, but the map is completely red otherwise, they have done such a great job of choking Genji out of the bomb side of the map without getting kills
And then making sure they can continue to apply that pressure without any consequences
And it's hard for Phyrex to find an angle. Like I said, they don't have any targets with the Nocturn Orianna other than Ash Seraphim.
We have to keep asking the question is, is this enough of a lead?
I just don't see it being worth to Upsahi.
We're gonna catch this wave, the Herald is up, so...
And the best way to do that is to start objectives, I think, because they're playing so far back.
Look at Zula. Look how far back he is. It's impossible.
Alright, give it.
a little bit more tankiness maybe you can sneak some of the dragons
if they get into a 5v5 team fight and not die to the Nocturne
they're gonna be in a good spot and I think they can do that a little bit better
however
AP Kalista, yeah, Gintso is building out an anthem is always a really awkward thing
for ADK
you could lose the game with certainty is losing a fight there
yeah but the herald value is you're not gonna feel like good about dropping this herald
because if they kill that mid turret this fed Nocturne is just completely unleashed on the map
We can do whatever he wants and ruler will never be able to farm without assistance
We'll never be able to farm without help or he would just be obliterated especially with bailout
You know potentially on the car with Helen being nearby
It is so easy to just constantly keep him on the tracks have herald for the straight
So this is an extremely high 10 seconds the timing of this with the dragon
You give drinkers Gen G. They'll necessarily be able to get the whole showbiz not getting this dragon
trunk and that while guarantees that they get this dragon set up here
feeling it's a little bit early from the side of being given to get total
control over I think fear X is pretty strong right now
sticks in the dragon from the Calista surely they can just time this might
here the alt is not going to land and oh my for fuck's sakes that is
unacceptable that is unacceptable I'm sorry you can't do that you can't do
that when you're 5v0 in a drake pit with Kaisa no way this is it but here has
no he wasted it earlier oh my god man oh my god the entire lead is gone
come on erased
and now Diablo is trying to get plates here
I think he'll be okay but
you can feel the pressure from him
he wants to get as much as possible
Genji take a gold lead
they take control of the map
they take the second side of the game
and for B and K they opted
they opted to
commit to the smite there and just get out
and then they did that
but one
early smite
might after Canyon wasn't in the pit you could just go sub smite range to make
sure watch rulers don't even they're gonna slow mode oh my god the worst
party's devil like runs away thinking it's dead like as long as it's above
1400 and if he does auto-attack it will die anyway
it's okay
collect the kill and bad turns to worse for being K is she bell they will feast
how is that him one point three gig old up man it's looking like this game might
be heading towards sunset territory for being K's competition and I hate to
say it but in game one their cop had so many holes in it into what Genji had
in game two I like their composition better that's so all in and so I
I feel like Phyrex got a couple kills and then the pace of the game just stopped.
They had all the edge they need to win the game.
Time just stopped.
Like they had the Fed Nocturne.
They didn't have any windows anywhere.
They had Dragon setup.
And it's just Domino's falling.
One after the other.
And you can't climb out of the hole with this.
Well, Diablo has two items though, so maybe there's a chance.
The Kalista is pretty accelerated.
He has Blade and fucking Jinso's at 19 minutes.
I think Phyrex are going to have to just send it somewhere.
like no joke just fucking send the burns on the spawn just goes I think that's
the best way to play right now because they're getting so Giga outscaled like
it's not really pretty the apple strong here I think I should take it no
rise in CP's why didn't I will tend that oh what what what the fuck just
happens to Calista hey bug bug bug bug bug bug
But he got pulled twice by Zaheem Dabir, indeed.
Or am I crazy?
It looked like he got pulled, flashed and got pulled again.
No, the Serafield I know, he tanked the Serafield.
Chrono break.
Alright, it's over. They're completely out-drafted and they're out-scaled.
I think the drafts today have just been...
Genji is in, like, 70, 30, 80, 20 positions in these drafts, man. They're so free.
Let me see Kalista though. I feel like she got pulled twice. Ignore the Seraphinalt. I know he's gonna get Seraphinalt right now.
Ignore the Seraphinalt. He's gonna get hit by it.
already out it's a double charm here with the extension you saw that just easiest
pie frankly to clean up what was that
they get a single cc and it's just layers upon layers of that Callista top
maybe never is gonna be spinning in this one but I'm best hope doesn't pull you
in the way being K-Win fights it look like she got pulled is through the
Orianna Nocturne combo you get the follow-up you know you you Callan throws
himself in a little bit of engage Renata right everybody piles on with
Essentially five melee it feels like
Ston and kellum's thrown himself into a galliope just to get taunted and diablo's left all alone
You're not winning a single fight and especially not when you're this far behind. I'll watch the reason
There's zero damage all beautiful. Oh, that mccales
Well, they can't end, but I think it's going as everyone expected, you know, like, this is just...
They're so ahead. I think they could change you just for the try. It's like
They'll take out the journal turret
$7,000 I think I think Jen I think with the current state of e-sports in in every region
I think Gen G is gonna fucking blasts first then I mean they should
And he dies no flash
Like both of the CCs were just angled the same way towards them
They had like different cross angles, he's hit by both, he's dead
He has no flash as you mentioned, and he's coming in on a flank angle, they read it, they destroy it
And then from here, it's just, this comp is so oppressive from ahead
You just keep going in
Yay, don't flamethricks, hey, don't you dare flamethricks, they fucking, they had a great season so far
They're all in their fucking rookie first year final or whatever the fuck it's called, like their debut final
There it is and he's just gonna fly me alone, bro
Actually, maybe Kelly played in a final with DK once I couldn't know
Because he didn't hit Q1
Ooh, division pocket.
Yeah, I think Gen.G would send Europe to Valhalla with this game.
It would just be completely crook.
We'll take the game from here, 2-0 for Gen.G as they are looking like the strong favorites to take this LCK Cup.
They were the massive favorites before the night began.
Well, Chovy and the boys bro, they are just fucking chilling, this is the freest fuck for them.
How sad is it for the Hong Kong fans?
DK get blasted 3-0 and now fear x-game blasted 3-0
They've only been there for like an hour and a half it's almost over already
Hell no the first time inside a career, and it's just completely good with each other these players
Fight not lifting a world title here on the side of Genji the exception of ruler and canyon this whole
I do feel like Calista did get double pooled in the fight though
players are doing this playing in this arena for the very first time so let's
watch Kalista right here against Gen.G. see Kalista? something that we tell Storm for years.
Well this is where you gotta start right it's not looking very likely but
Charm breaks he's in a flash now exactly what their form was going to be
like on the day but I think once we see these first couple of games he gets
knocked up by Galeo E
So that's a HINW, right?
He cleansed it in flashes, but why does he get pulled back in again?
You see that?
Did he auto forwards or what?
He just misclick auto or what? But it looks like it doesn't look like an auto
You see how? Look at him. Look at it. It doesn't look like an auto to me
Maybe it wasn't although, but it just looks so weird.
Did he like try and Q jump before the Zaheen W and it like buffered after?
Oh no, it's Flash Q actually.
I think it's Flash Q and he Q's the wrong way or?
I think that the fear ex-coach is a gen g fan
For the finals around the world are stinkers on baby lcp was a trio team secret whales just wings
This is gonna be a 3-0
But I think lec and lcs are gonna be good finals. I really I think g2k c and leon c9 should bang
Have you ever tried putting milk inside what?
Have you ever tried milk with red wine?
Are you fucking rage baiting or?
What do you mean milk with red wine?
That is the most like dubstep, fucking degenerate, disgusting combo I've ever heard in my life.
That's fucking, that's jail time.
Milk with red wine?
What do you want to have a fucking cocktail in my stomach or what?
He's still on the toilet for three days.
Okay, is it worth it or what?
Why don't you put some fucking pepsi or some shit in there as well?
Sprite with wine is fine.
I could see that.
I could see sprite, but the sprite is like, kind of like...
sparking lemonade like stuff like that I can see it but milk milk there was a
drink that I had in a ramen restaurant and it was fucking bomb and I forgot
what it's called. It was beer mixed with something. Wait, I think I remember the name
of it. The drink was called Double Cultured. It was called Double Cultured in a ramen restaurant.
This was it. You have an Asai with Kalpiko.
It's actually crazy good. It's crazy good.
i don't know what the flavor of this is i can't describe it
it's like a dairy soda yet
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know what to do with it.
It goes kind of hard to break music.
seven hours two minutes and 58 seconds he's turning into a cat oh my good oh my oh my
God! Oh my goodness, oh my days!
Holy!
He's fucking jacked the shit!
Who you got winning the LPL finals?
Probably BLG, probably.
probably.
The reason why DnK is good at this tournament is because of their bot lane, so they just
aim for the targeting the bot lane.
Actually no, I think AL is going to do a lower bracket run and just win.
I think it's AL.
AL is just going to do a lower bracket run and win.
And you know, Chovy can play against Orianna with Galio, so this is such an insane idea
and it worked out.
And I honestly, I think the Orianna Nocturne into the S-serfing can't wait how pretty
well the teamfights can on to them, exploding them.
The problem is though, Genji just went this absolute bulk in the top side.
Chad, what's the fastest LCK finals ever?
Is anyone there? Are we on track?
It's Ash Seraphine, but you have all these bruisers, who you're just going to shield up, make sort of invincible.
And I just didn't really feel that close to Renado.
We've seen it picked by Genji or four teams into Ash Seraphine.
You do have to find ganks to get it ahead early, but I just feel like it's a losing battle.
It's not a fun 2v2, and as the game goes on, you just get outscaled pretty hard.
Thoughts on the Clis to Renata here guys because I knew that you know, I hated it. It was it was a decision
It was all for champions of the ball lane
They just know what to target down and I think that's why like you is just so good at the draft
Very ban was actually so that yeah, it was seen that like that has been the good way to actually beat the Ash Seraphine
And so then
One hour 37 minutes down on the bottom side of the map Raptor did that of in game time
What that doesn't sound right really one hour thirty seven really
Fast as K finals ever to place an LCK spring 233 where T1 don't manage into the 30 victory in just one hour and 36 minutes
One hour and 36 minutes
But that's that's averaging 30 minutes a game
dragon stacks but look at Canyon he's just going in 1v3 but this last game that they just played
was 24 minutes wasn't it this doesn't make any sense and he almost survives I mean at the end he
dies but this was so huge for the team so I mean I think even though Raptor had such a great
early game he's gonna kill Roland here with insane amount of damage but still you know it
shows that two junglers the battle around is just insane in this tournament and I feel like this
should have been enough to get raptor off to a good enough start to guarantee AI AI is just wrong
was it spring 2023 that t1 lost wait which one was the one they won in spring wasn't that
what that was 2021 they won in spring wasn't it or some shit no it doesn't seem to anyone
it can't be 2022 it must have been ridiculous and it shouldn't happen and this shouldn't happen
either uh look past this lck finals ever i mean he's seen some crazy steals in f playoffs
the lck cup that shouldn't be happening and also keen for clearing a low HP for some the old
well that's just a free kill here an actor no ultimate the ash arrow comes in a little
bit off this time ruler but it's not even needed for this kill to be cleaned up so dragon picked up
buy gen g to deny what could have been three dragons if those two steals didn't come through
i think hanging just farming the solar laners in the bot side of the map i mean so many good
pickups from Kenyan here I thought he was the one playing notenia because notenia is known as
sadland killers but I guess oh my god are they still doing that thing where they're like um
actually this is not lck this is the lck cup so the statistics don't apply to this tournament
and anything that happens is in its own vacuum oh god please just go I hate it I hate it
We have to go into spring split in April and be like, this is Chovy's first Azir game of the year.
It's like, oh, fuck, it's just not, but we have to say that for some reason.
For some reason we have to say it is debut LCK Azir game, because LCK Cup's not TechGlossyK.
God, it just pisses me off though.
I think any competitive game you play should just count for your competitive career, regardless of what the fuck's happening.
And this is the reason why you don't really want to play Calissa Bernada and they're even behind in this game right now
So it feels even worse
It doesn't sound as egregious for like oh it's chobi's first to zero game
But it does sound egregious for like win-rate records win rate
Like lck all-time gmg verse t1. It's like okay, but where's the lck cup?
No, it doesn't count insane 200 IQ from you here
Yeah, and it kind of brings me back to the drop as well because the
The record for the fastest LCK or OGN Champions Grand Final in a 3-0 sweep belongs to SK Telecom
T1 in the Samsung Ozone in the Champions Winter 2013 Final.
The total in-game time for the three matches was approximately 1 hour 16 minutes and 56
seconds.
Okay, so that's averaging what 25 minutes a game to lost by D plus Kia
No more what
How many minutes is that 75 minutes what do you want to see some five by three? Yeah
25 minutes.
There's no way there's a series in sub 1 hour.
A sub 1 hour best of 5?
If game time? That is mental.
20 minute game, 3 games in a row?
Nah, not possible.
That is crazy that Madline's lost in 16 minutes.
Like that, if you said that to a League fan who's like new to the game, who's been watching
this year and last year, 16 minutes.
Bro, 16 minutes.
That's fucking, that is absolutely mental.
I couldn't even boot up a custom game and you could tell me to end in 16 minutes.
Chat, I'm gonna show you a photo and you're gonna get chills, okay?
Orianna pick was so high in the game too holy throwback whatever they pick here
will come with a similar cost is so much still available but I think the big
that's how we listen to music back in the days that's how we did it
take away the clear rumble since it is first pick here for being K but I
wouldn't be shocked to see another Unara band
Windows media player all mark the band was really smart because of the
all in potential into the out of my goodness that's not necessarily first
pickable by any means here crown is here you know what up crown how you're
doing crown it was the door you know but don't be
crowning incredibly strong 1.2k hey hey we climbing baby you love to see it
available like Xin Zhao you could first pick that but
you know go for first pick for those types of choices as i love the luluban
yeah it's a good band it's a good band yeah we had karma it is a good band
because they do like their Ophelios Lulu, their Unara Lulu, probably their Lulu.
with a different situation and they are not going to get ass-serafing this time so they
just want to make sure that no Lulu is going to come through and I think that's a good
shot because you know Kellen has been tasked to get Enchanters and they know that they
want to deny it away from being K.
They didn't ban Niko, I think they should have banned Niko here.
It feels pretty obvious to me that Genji are looking to have a one-two punch of
the Corky Niko in response to whatever that first pick.
They Yone ban.
You can't get that Lulu.
They're looking for Azir first pick.
So they're gonna get their Azir first pick they're saying we're gonna ban Karma so if you get Azir we get Niko
I think Chovy can bust out in Akali, they can play Niko here, Yunara Niko, Yunara Niko
doesn't sound too good because I think they could just go Korg Hinami into it and I think
they'll probably happen.
just going Niko plus, Xin Zhao is the better option because then at least you have more
AD options on 3 if you're a bit scared. Like for example if you go Xin here and they go
Core Konami is it better for your lane if you have Ezreal? Is it better for your lane
if you have MF or something.
Wukong as well, yeah, also a bit.
Fear X, it's Mundo time.
He's just going to go Zin, but...
Oh, Lucian not here.
So now you get a bit more space on your AD pick.
You can still go Unara, but if you want to pivot you can.
Chovy's dropping into his ear. You know what that means.
What does he have? He has Akali, already on soul, Sylas, TF.
Probably Hui.
Yeah, he's fine. Yeah, Zoe. He's completely fine.
He has Ari as well, but he has Ari, Akali, bro, he has it all.
Victor, you can play fucking any
I think they should have banned for top here
Rek'Sai, yeah
Rek'Sai, Kassan, they must pick Sion or what
Yeah, Claire definitely sometimes leans on like a scion pick somewhere around I think this fear X company the silent
So not a bad idea. I do wonder if they I think a mendoven is not bad here from Gen G
I was thinking about oh
Ryu I'm happy for him. He's gonna win the lck. That's really nice
They meant to something
It's what isn't silent just giga right now. It's really powerful. Yeah, I think they're gonna take silent for the greatest right now
But it's a great into the azear matchup. Is it because I think you bent silent here
Oh, okay, no you don't why would you they take silent on for their I guess you just go or in our what is taken away
Which can work well, I know you're blinding top, but I think they're gonna take sign if you don't
So it's gonna be the answer here is the big question
So later's completely you could walk into trundle though. It's a bit scary. You could play against trundle or and I think you lose
Maybe you just pick me.
Annie!
Annie Wukong!
Oh my god, okay, I didn't expect Annie.
Annie!
What the fuck?
We're back! 2023 MSI!
Annie Wukong!
PLG and Gen.G special!
GNG special. There's the Mundo, Mundo Sion. I think Fear X is kind of happy if they go
Sion here. I wonder what Keen's counter is. She's a go... Veintop here? I think Veintop
kind of cooks here I do think given the right way to cook I think veins kind of
funky you're two of us a great tool to set him up
yeah do it did not work for last Casper Cup finals or else we can't go finals
it's okay this time is different he did just lock it in come on just put it in
the bag I think don't go it's up put it in the bag I think you should have gone
through okay so you have two compositions that are trying to do very
different things it's an insane amount of engaged on the side of Gen G and so
much follow-up damage. The Unara and the Annie will do crazy amounts of damage, and the frontline
of the Aptrox that kind of holds it together could also be certain follow-up CC. Angle's
forum obviously is sweet spotting on the Lucian that makes Lucian's life miserable. On the side of B and K,
they're just going to try to give Lucian every resource he can get. Diablo is going to be
looking to pop off and carry. What is my goat peanut doing? How's he feeling about the series?
Cool down for every single ability he has every single time you see somebody in the midgame
He's gonna be trying to kill them and then we get to late game
The least that he has is going to be in that front line. It's gonna be in the Mundo
It's going to be in the scion. It's gonna be the extra damage
He has when he gets to late game and he's on three plus items where you can hope to do that burst damage
Yes, we have to avoid all of this engage. Yes, avoid the Mugang yes to avoid timbers and the flanking Nico
But if you can do all that
Then he can bring us to four
It's a lot of pressure, but we know that he is capable
I I just worry because it feels like 10 team the way they have won the first couple of games and with a cop like this
This is the comfort zone for them and we are in the top of their every game of number three
Here we go. Game number three begins now, Diablo.
Oh my fucking god.
And Toby's like, you know what?
I'm playing Galio, and now I'm gonna play Annie.
I don't need to be the one who's making the ridiculous flashy plays.
I'll play the simple champs and make crazy plays anyway.
He just procs electrocutes.
We saw his Galio in the last game was able to get that...
Why isn't the electric keep rocking? Is Ammy just that slow with auto-tacking or what?
Nice auto-tacks with Diablo.
Well Diablo, have one game where you glide, this could be one.
I'm going to take every risk, but my damage will back it up.
But then imagine losing control of the map after trying to make any of those plays.
You mess it up just one time, and now you're like, I got to still dash forward.
I got to make those plays. I got to catch those targets, but at any moment in time,
if you can't see, there's a blue column, there's an ante, there's a Nico somewhere where you don't know.
You have to still be confident to make those plays.
We're going to see a trade back here from Ruler with the Q coming out.
Won't lead to anything, but, as Diablo, you're going to have to be willing to play like a psychopath.
And that is what he is well known for and
To be able to pull up and cycle path don't worry. He's got it in this big game
It's gonna be what this is all he's gonna have to push the limits of psychopath here to like complete mental illness
If this is how they die carry this game in this series through this type of drafting through that crazy play
I think even being can fans will respect it because it's what you love
It's what you're here for yeah, but it is gonna be a fun one
I can guarantee you that.
It's really important to know what's going on here in the mid lane.
The Annie with supreme auto range.
This is the best way to play Annie is to just continue poking bit by bit, auto by auto,
and the Azir, you know, he puts down a soldier, maybe gets a shot or two,
and then the Annie just kind of walks around him and has range advantage,
and will always be very annoying in terms of winning in the harass battle.
So Vickla's going to have to take relatively early back,
And you know keep in mind Chovy still has he holds on to a stun has electrocute
So if any kind of burst play comes out the Annie also gonna be strong there absolutely
the electrocute and
The ston always stacking on top of that just chipping out of damage
We come harder and harder to make those types of plays and build those advantages later on but in the early levels
It's pretty straightforward
He's up getting a small CS advantage over big bloke and he takes the tp back.
The little will be cut off very briefly from Doroh here.
And then the top lane.
We haven't really taken a look at it.
It's Atrox into Sion.
Atrox wants to keep measured aggression.
The obelisk is very low on mod.
I get the level up.
I don't really think you can push anything further.
should be backing as soon as possible.
I see the stuns come out mid.
It should be Chovy chogying on a champion like this as well.
So that's something we always have to know.
When Chovy is in the game, he will look to Chovy
and get very far ahead.
The red dots do disappear around him.
Yes.
Take a nice trade here, goes in with the shield
and eventually gets Chovy extremely low.
But, Potion's still available here for Chovy, as was the refillable for Vickwa, so...
Pretty nice trait, overall, from the side of Vickwa.
Yeah, Chovy's in a bit of a bad spot here, not gonna lie.
The support in the mid lane here, trying to really push Chovy out of lane, because he already used his TP.
But it's fine, because we need to push the miss.
It's really not gonna amount to too much. Raptor's in the corner here and trying to take the Raptor camp, as is his namesake.
Zero here and our Raptor is getting punched down just a little bit. The Canyon goes in the double bottom!
Double bubble!
Zero just kicks forwards.
Nice wrap to defense though.
Really nice wrap to defense.
So he's staying.
Man, he has tippers for the next wave.
comes out and Vick was like, oh, I guess I have to respect this.
It's just so incredibly powerful, get the tippers on top, that will be back straighted, so that
wave is cleared, we love the tempo tippers.
This is a really tough lane to push the end, as long as Durro and Rua don't make mistakes,
you're not going to get caught by a bubble, it's hard for Dalbila to have kill pressure,
We're crashing these waves in. They forced some jungle attention.
But the bigger win is that that Hex-Tick Dragon has spawned.
And we do have Raptor taking it here.
And unfortunately for Kenny, he's not level 6 yet on this Wukong.
Or just awarded.
I mean, I've said that to him. I don't know about this.
I've said I don't know about this.
Oh, Canyon. You know he's going in.
Yes.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
You cannot think of happening!
Bro, he always just does this.
He just warts the drake, walks in,
He doesn't even fucking take it.
This time Raptor had upgraded some ID.
help us on a 10 million wall and bathroom pause
what is it?
all the timing would be very strange
I don't think so either I think this is that has been stressed enough
I think that is aware of the bathroom management I hope it's not something
super serious but we will give you guys the update as soon as we can
Game State here, pretty favorable for GenG with the Dragonsteel, things we're looking otherwise
pretty normal, pretty strong in the bottom lane, or the side of B and K, they have that Pryo there.
Side lane power of the Azir will be something that we will discuss later on in this game.
No right. The game doesn't blow up before then.
I cannot quite tell whose issue it is.
Yeah, I mean
We've had all sorts of interesting issues here at the LCK Cup. This has been I think one of the furthest day
I've ever sat from the players
Yeah, it's actually very true there
On the other side of the arena and so it's quite a big place
Caster Gen was very much hammering hammering home the 10,000 number
That this arena can fit
We are basically full here. Yeah
But we're only getting a look at the Gen.G players and they seem to be just hanging out, so probably an issue on the BNK side.
But we saw an advantage, trade for the bottom lane of Gen.G and immediately...
Raptor is the one who caused that, I'm sure of that. I can tell by his player hands.
There was some issue there.
Yeah, they got the update that there was an issue with one of the player's PCs. That's the only information that we have.
at the moment, so hardware-related, which is, by my books, always a great reason to pause.
Yeah, my books, too.
You need to solve them to be able to play the game at the optimal level, which is always required.
Competitive integrity is the most important skier.
Pretty tense as a reminder to those who might not know this, as we do occasionally have
Looks like everybody's ready grandfiles and grandfiles. Some people just watch the finals
You're not allowed to communicate with your team during these pauses. So
Imagine all you know, if you're thinking about this this situation is tense the bottom 2v2 has gone awry for being K
And the Sunday was a pause and you cannot communicate what you want to do next where the jungle has to go
What what the what the next call is going to be for dragon or grubs
You have to just sit in silence until this issue is resolved
There's one of the most tense things that can happen to anybody in an eSports tournament.
And we're just shooting on their phone.
Much less the finals, where there are 10,000 fans waiting patiently.
Also, for the game to begin again.
Yeah, it's understandable.
You saw that clear kind of had his head bowed down.
You know, he might be a little bit frustrated, but probably it's just to take a little rest
during the pause, because it's not like they can talk about anything anyway.
he is playing so awesome it's massive better shots I think we've had really
showcasing just how many people are in here holy shit the game may be
respond soon they need to pause again but you could feel the tension crazy
10,000 people for two trios oh hell no and it is quite tense yeah we had a
little jump scare there where it looks like it's massive. It's also people on the left right and
we're not. Not just yet. So the uh you know the atmosphere here I think is
quite like people are quite excited about being able to finally watch lck games here
locally in Hong Kong. I think we kind of really overstate is overstate the excitement
and the amount of fans who watch us and like even we're telling us to tell the other
rulers mouse pad is tiny is that a mouse pad?
we love you guys we enjoy watching a lot of them watch the english stream
yeah but we also got to meet the canvities and also do from time to time watch the
english stream as well and it has been a really fun experience i think for everyone involved
everyone who's at this tournament to see the passion of these fans who've been given this
really awesome opportunity that is it comes once in a lifetime and the tickets
sold out right away and I know they're a lot of people miles away circumstances
were different but became just the same and so it seems to be which pro player
is what you know because the main difference is you use the long wide
mouse pad for everything or like Keen and Canyon do and I think a diable does
or do you suggest a one small mousepad for your mouse?
Yeah, it's a lot of...
Something I've noticed is a lot of the fans here are
just really big fans of players that have been around for a long time.
So, especially guys like Canyon, you know, when he came out he got a gigantic cheer.
You know, he is one of the top players in the world, but also
a world champion in finals.
at Worlds, and some of the newer players these fans are still fans of, but certainly leaning
towards guys like even the yesterday's showmaker who's been around for a long time and won a
bunch of stuff.
But Diablo, one of the newer guys, getting a lot of fans as well.
I think it's really important to note too that that era for Damwon was bringing the
else came back to the forefront after a bit of a struggle. Yeah, at the world
championships and oh my god bro Raman is cooking for a lot of people and
Canyon was at the forefront he was the world's MVP in 2020 mentioned a lot of
these what is he look at the size of his back to be arguably the one that
discussed the most look at the size of his back in worlds right now
fucking jeez players have so much experience on this stage on the
the other side, not as much, right?
Kellen's been on for a while.
He had a pretty memorable world's performance for D plus,
but not maybe even the positive, the pros column for him.
And for Diablo.
This guy knows the sign, but.
He knows the sign, but.
Diablo is, he has certainly got a lot of fans here.
And even though he is not having a successful day thus far,
Do you think, as you can see here, he needs so many double signs.
I think he knows that the crowd is with him.
So many of them are behind him.
Your back is smaller than Ruler's mousepad.
My back is smaller than Ruler's mousepad.
Toby!
Taunt a Toby fan.
It's actually insane.
Someone asking please three zero.
You know, I think it's a pretty safe bet at this point to be honest, but still a little
bit of League of Legends left to play in this game, but game three is, you know, so just
a small update on the PC issue is that it's actually been reported by both sides of the
stage here.
So really reported an issue.
So what that means, I am not going to speculate on and when it occurred or how long it's
that's been happening with us. This information we do not have.
Generally speaking, when PC issues like this do come up,
often PCs are swapped, and that's why pauses like this take a long time
because hardware has to be changed.
I'm not actually able to confirm whether or not that is happening.
I haven't seen any PC. I don't see that.
And so, could just be a lot of confirmations being had here
and watching back footage of the players to make sure that it was, in fact,
a, you know, frame drop or whatever the case may be and not, not just play your eye test error.
So there's a lot of things that need to be done to make sure that the best possible scenario
I mean, stopping PC will take a while, surely.
So thank you for your patience.
If you're watching at home or somehow in this arena and have just don't toss to a break, please.
I feel like the vibes are just good.
Well, it does look like we are resuming.
So whatever the issue was, we are going to get into the game now.
As clear immediately as in trouble, pass the flash away.
Keen does not follow flash.
It'll be Giga-Chad of Silent didn't flash there.
Not having a flash time up here.
So we had some rejoining of the game as implied by those players saying that they left the game there, in fact, in the game.
So for now, that might have been enough to resolve the issue.
And now we're looking for a potential crash in this bottom lane.
That was Sion already on top of the ship, he's already back
That's the sling that he laid
Oh...
Look at his HP, he wants to dash in
Well, Keen's winning in isolation, Chovy's winning in isolation, both Solans are winning,
POT's winning, everyone's winning, the jungles ahead, they stole Drake.
This canyon is the man of the objectives tonight
Yeah, and much in the way that yesterday was pretty one-sided stomp towards the side of being K
It does feel like we're getting some more yummy here tonight
You know I was hoping for at least one of these series to go for maybe five my prediction was three to Gen G
I thought being K looked in great form and yes Gen G should be the favorites, but
But it just feels like, you know, so far maybe it's the energy of the crowd, or maybe Gen.G
are just that much better than everybody else.
They are.
They just have not looked like Gen.G's match tonight.
And I really hope that PNK keep fighting, you know, they don't just back down and
stop playing the game.
I really hope that we can get some good League of Legends here in this game.
It's just like, what?
My crucks?
Breaking their backs as Raptor is going to come over here and speaking of Canyon.
It is pretty deep in the jungle.
Well, I mean, this is a Mundo, so maybe he does get to go every once, but eventually he's probably gonna have to flash this wall, and there he goes.
That's the flash away from them, big label to get the Tivers out of Chovy.
That's probably a lot of damage from Recon. I didn't expect Recon to do that much.
And it looks like this is just going to be...
River control back to Gen.G. Scuttle, goes over.
And there's a trade up for them again, and a small trade.
Very nice dodge, I'm slurple there.
and dodging everything is Diablo
barrier gonna be forced out here
a lot of 10 straights down in the bottom side
small disengage
oh yeah, tricep
and now it's a ruler's turn
to dash forward
down now
Diablo's flash
W flash?
okay, he is gonna get snatched up and diggers does follow here
and now we got Canyon
just in there
Canyon red
trade flashes
pick last TP
hard to say who that favors actually at the end of the day
because Azir can't utilize flash to be a little bit more aggressive.
I mean, Trilby's happy with that. Makes him lose some minions.
Even with the Warriors' trickster,
very powerful to have the extra extension on Cyclone with the flash.
He's unable to get the kill there.
Who's MVP of the series so far?
Delays the back though,
and the tempo definitely feeling very much in Genji's hand.
Canyon, I guess, holds mites.
He's the lead, and about 562 of that
is in this Atrox in the top lane,
so it's still a very playable game here for B and K.
It's just these moments that, where it feels like it's a foregone conclusion, like okay, yes, VNK have pollution lane that's in control, they have Dragon Pryo, and Canyon steals in a way that makes you wonder, could they do it no matter what, like even if everything is given to them, if every opportunity is presented to them.
Well, Canyon just-
I think this should be a rare, I think this is a rare coach MVP series though.
The original Myers 5000 Gold, it feels so much bigger than it truly is.
The drafts are pretty fucking solid by you.
The feeling of the tempo vibes are so heavily in Genji's favor after the win that game 2 wins
and now the start of game 1 brings back those bad memories for being K, that's really the main issue.
The good news for this dragon is that Canyon is about half the map away.
That'll help.
A dragon uncontested so they can't steal it, go bless.
The crowd goes wild, BFX gonna drake.
Uh, yeah, that's just crazy.
No flash here for Vickla.
Sun comes down, so we're probably gonna have to farm that one up again because he's got flash and this is really where
Well, okay, there's the Sun
Set up there
They can play this. Raptor ults for the moon speed. Okay
And Canyon just goes in and kills Vickla. Vickla had to dash back there, otherwise he's dead anyway.
Nothing's going right for Phyrex.
Unless he had another soldier, then he could probably just try and live.
And the league gets bigger. Choby's now raptor. Don't do it. Don't do it.
All you listen up flash and he's not evolved, but he's running away for now
Okay, well Keen. Choby's at thousand gold up. Mr. Kabuk.
Kraken Slayer's picked up here for ruler
Hock's W is the worst spell in the game. It just has to be
It feels so shit like E and then W someone and then it's just did run out
B and K
It's almost like this where you're like, okay Vickla well played
Has the impressive Vickla question mark ping Chovy
And from here you can push Chovy back when he did that combo
Instead push for the angle Canyon has cyclone gets the second cyclone Vickla has to all in
It is unsuccessful
And it could have been just as simple as being happy to have Chovy waste his flash
There was some serious greed. I feel like Raptor also could have just continued running after Chovy
but he tried to turn and peel for the Wukong and then Vickla goes in so the
peel wasn't even really necessary and I feel like Raptor from that position he
had another hard seal of proc available on the Wukong could have just used it
there. Canyon either way they're going at it once again and uh...
Mundo damage is crazy though.
But he does have the red buff.
Obviously it's worse than the RHP you get, but still.
The Cyclone angle potentially if Diablo wants to overextend in and try to
Of course the play.
Hey, doesn't that flash though?
He's just gonna walk away.
See now, fear extra on two drakes.
It wouldn't be that bad.
It would feel bad, but...
What?
That's Annie's burst through Merc treads.
Tier 3 Merc treads.
I guess he's level 11.
Mundo just stands there.
Diablo really needs to start getting a lead man, he's trying.
He really is trying to contest him in bot but he's... they're not giving him anything.
And we've seen a few moments where it's a near turn around for Diablo on the bottom side,
a near catch for Raptor, a near punish for Vickula.
He's gotten a couple plates.
And the game is so playable, completely here for BNK, and they're going to have a really
strong mid game coming up, but they just don't have really any of what they would have
likely, because they would have loved to have the grubs in this game, they would
have loved to have that first back and double dragon into infernal soul.
Such a huge lead it's so important to have but Genji have bought themselves so much time with that steal alone
And now Canyon's on to this Harold
We're gonna see a TP from Biklin possibly this is another one from clear here for the contest
And that should be enough to push them off. Speaking of TP, Emo match. Yep
Everybody's getting in here for the party and our actors still holding on to that shield there it goes
Canyon's still on this one
Oh my god, it's in one click. Yes, it is
Annie, oh, he doesn't get the Herald. Nice steal by Rapper.
Got the Herald, Bust.
Get the Crab too, fuck him up.
Baking of Flash, not bad.
Trac in 15.
And Pyrex have the Herald now.
And the burst damage of this Annie is coming in big
But show we splash might be up for this straight fight because it's not gonna be a quite a delayed drake
It actually feels like it might be a big greedy because he's going super deep
But being care just not confident with theirs, you know the teleport that comes there from the side
I guess the any pick makes even more sense and you consider it loose and kind of needs to dash in
I want to go for and as they're trying to approach
He doesn't need to you know, but
Lucian Nami against any Wukong's prove be very annoying and difficult to play
Like for example, Aryan Wukong, I think definitely a lot more play with Lucian, but Annie...
Chad, I never said that, you're making it up again.
In seeing burst damage using that to target the tanks target literally anyone else and you're gonna one shop them
Or you can just target after to I guess works out
You don't necessarily need the kill as long as the jungler snow or near and you're still gonna pick up the Drake
starting to feel like
being paid is don't have anything in this you know as
There is just gonna bolt in and these are the two tanks and now the other was like, oh, I guess I'll try to do something
Annie's not here. Why are they going in?
Blunder by Gen.G
Doesn't make sense to go in when your Annie is literally just pushing bots
Two small wins here
This looks like Chovy
It's gonna be completely fine
I don't know if completely fine really describes it is actually gonna be completely happy with getting half of Vickla's health bar
This is the versus Annie experience
It's not a good one
Not a good one
You and I flew from Seoul to Hong Kong and if it's only six games we get, don't be it
because that is the nature of competition, you know.
But it just doesn't feel right.
Then these moments here, they get the Herald to drop.
There's walking forward, obviously doesn't have his ultimate here.
Yeah, it was trying to throw pressure, but this could have been two meals.
Yesterday and today.
But there's hope for fear exit scheme.
They got second break, their comp scales decently well, Gen.G's making a couple mistakes.
Actually, what am I saying, they got the second break, Gen.G got it, it's good.
I forgot, it was stolen.
We'll get the opportunity to pop off hard and some of these upcoming fights and with dragon three and a half minutes away feels
Ion
With the lack of sideline pressure here
I mean Vickla's trying to set something on the bottom lane, but he needs jungle attention
Otherwise Toby's drops bears on the LEC Niels. Yes, I know
Every fight we've seen after he we saw him. I know it would be bad, but I think it would be just bad
Somebody on being paid dying before the elbow can even get there or basically die
This time now we're gonna have a big calling it to ruler and look at the extension as well
Diable is ready for a fixed time
But Dura fast enough to run away from this one a lot of health on ruler almost got a clone
But he didn't not enough
I don't say it's grasping its draws. It was a good play. They saw the split. They knew that
Now Dura was a little bit out of position. I couldn't really feel for ruler, but
Turning it into a ruler
Uh, he's so careful.
I don't think you get to sit in there, though.
Especially without Niko, even with Niko.
That's a kind of notorious location for Ruler to sit.
Oh, engage potential here on duty, Abel.
As they're just gonna go in on a killin'
and there's the follow-up from Taro gets the knockup into the roots
and Key is on the hunt.
And one auto and one killin' to the killin'
hits a couple of them after and Vecla afterwards.
And he is not done with his fight himself, he's gonna fight big loss!
Oh, keen smurfing!
And taken down!
Interaptor ain't clear, the two tanks just left whittling their thumbs.
And there was a reason why Ruler wanted to stay!
We saw it on full display!
The collapse was real, the engage was solid!
And Diablo and Kelin are dead, and Diablo's down to flash, as Choby's just got one down!
Oh, the rocket belt tech into the stun!
This is why Choby likes his rocket belts!
Now he's just having fun.
Saves us any faster add insult to injury, but then there's one more step. What do we add to that?
Maybe they can kill Tiberous a third of clear's health marines trauma
Yeah, that's what it is
I don't want to call this series a choke for being K
Because I don't think that characterizes it well
It's a great performance from Gen G
Which is what we expected in Canyon in particular who is running this series every single
Yeah, bit of it like every single moment feels so set up by him, but I also just feel we're seeing
Both a lack of confidence from being K when they fight and also sudden the sudden decision-making
That isn't that the right call like it's the judgment. That's missing as well
That's why it feels like they're playing nervous of why I almost want to use the word choke
But it just feels like instead I should use the word outclassed. Yeah
That's definitely what it does feel like in our class, because they're here until they're absolutely just 100% out of it, you know?
And that's the Genji effect. For one reason or another, that's what they will make you feel.
And now down 4,000 gold, Ian's gonna get the bottom turret. It'll be the third of the game.
Easy win inbounds, 3x and Jorah are still dancing.
Not quite, but still.
We do have this infernal drake coming up here in 10 seconds, and giving that turret.
Yeah, I think this is going to make it even easier.
I think they're just going to give it up because they have no way to challenge.
Like, Ena's like, you take your time down there, Canyon.
I think you pretty much got this one on your own.
They're going to trade a turret for Dragon, but I'm also looking for another turret.
Yeah.
In the mid lane, the Fierce Solution draft, not really holding a candle.
I mean, Joby's like, cool story, bro. I can still one-shot you.
Diablo, no! Not like this! I was just saying!
Insta one-shot, Insta.
And he does! It's like, and he would flash!
It's exactly as you say it.
And Diablo's so known to try to bait these types of exchange,
is so known to try to set these traps to, you know,
dangle himself out there and say, I'm gonna outplay this,
but he didn't have flash, and Joby did!
And now Raptor is, uh...
It's gonna have the flaps there
One of the lowest skill ceiling champs on the highest
Well, you're gonna find out Diablo I do like that chovy here he expects the
Dashback is ready for it. Like slow like he knows he's gonna die for this kind of value
So we like, or if there's been, so we like dashes back instantly, but it's just not enough, it's just, it's just, it's just complete one shot.
Oh my god!
These Hong Kong fans, I'm sorry for the two series.
There was two fucking giga stumps.
And it's all DK's fault for oversleeping T1.
So, uh, and we talked like we send it, I suppose.
We said, oh, he's only died twice this game, but it's damage up.
Yeah, but it's revenge for what Katie did in Summer last year, okay?
Something changes here.
Fuck, it's Katie's fault.
Damage to champions is going to be a fizz more because he just cannot get close to hit them.
Hey, he pressed calling a couple of times, so maybe, you know, the number will look good.
Not that it matters.
Um, for the actual outcome of the game, they're taking up quite a lot and they saw Canyon over here as well.
the bubble going to miss clear has to go in and then flash out and now that's why
their tanks just kind of gone double is like I want to hit them but it's so
risky there's so many there's so many things that can just rip my health bar
to zero he's just trying he's like trying to hit Keen and Keen's like I'm
not even going to be in range by the way yeah now the wraparound is complete
let's see if you can fight your way on this one oh he flashed backwards and
It's one way to just die and flash into the Niko long.
I think he was going to flash past it when Dura flashed towards me.
But maybe he thought getting close to them would allow him to kill him back.
I don't know about this.
This is a Grand Finals, but that did happen.
This is indeed a Grand Finals.
It's still LCK and it's still changing.
I suppose that's good.
knowing some fucked up timeline like fear is to rock up the first end and like
some random shit will happen I'll get further than Gen.G in the early stage of
employment
bro I've seen that before
the level is now trapped he was chasing keen trying to get up and then the
rest of the team can't do anything
no there's no way Gen.G will just own everything
I mean it just has to be a fat finger
because there's no reason I mean he's going to dash
yeah it's a panic mistake
He flashes off can buy space there. We've all been there. He's fine. He's not in range. So I
Just thought he was gonna just flash away
Like you could have done that as well and
Then he would have just been able to maybe offer some damage there punish a little bit actually maybe the chat has in the
Please don't teammates fault, you know
But now we just have flashed so guess what although fear we talked about all the threats all the danger all the cyclone
tibbers pop blossom who lose damage by the way because he's up an item he just
won't be on you all right the icon bun jenji are completely diabolical
this is gonna be rough oh my god those items all of them
yeah I'm glad you mentioned the damage because often that's the scariest thing
like yeah and he can just one combo you but if any snop there you saw that
He wasn't even willing to dash towards an a trucks and that's because if you get hit by one key one like any sweet spot
You're just you're gonna die because they have so much damage
They're very far ahead that the trucks can do it the any can do it you know our can do it
So they had infernal soul to yeah, well, they're probably about to is calling this good this time around
And now they're gonna try to find duro. Oh my god. He shuffled the clone
But do at least it go for the oh
Oh, for fuck's sake, it's like, I thought it was going to be bad, but I didn't think it was going to be this fucking bad.
to drill off our spot for him the route is there and rulers just kind of running
at them there is
I think the wall it's a good route comes in holy key in a truck she's not looking like demonic
to the side of Gen G the tanks if they're alone can't do nothing and at least ruler or
Raptor rather is going to be able to flash his way to safety but this game should have picked van
What about 3k?
Diable's insta one shot here
it's literally that simple either that part behind without flash because as you
pointed out yeah I will say I'm gonna stress it again the drafting from Gen G
today was every game complete out draft just insane out draft I mean all of Gen
G I feel like it I think if I said that I won't I watched BNK's best today
this game is not as bad but still pretty bad game one and two
10G come out as strong as they did in game one that's where BNK are going to
begin to start the drafts and the games would be the same yeah of course but
you have to give credit to it.
There's no infre here tonight guys like this is our final and they've made that
pristinely clear to all of us we even had some predictions for BNK just
because the hype was really you know the waters were feeling like BNK they're
He's probably the most, like, one-sided LCK finals I've ever seen.
There's been a couple of a 3-0s, but this is like...
T1, HLE, they gotta turn it around next bit.
DK!
Gotta turn it around.
I feel like HLE is in their own area of turning around, because those motherfuckers finish the last.
Like that is disgusting. They are the full one HLE.
Like we forgot about HLE in January already.
It's almost, it's March.
that they just push him away and he just pops like a balloon to the Unara and you see things
as well trying to survive on the right side he's gonna get rid of and that'll be the end of it
oh duro died wait a minute steal it come on chovy please steal it steal it
ah you're such a rat chovy you shoulda yanked right in front of him
ah yeah shoulda yanked it i feel like the meme of ruler always getting his penta stolen
just need to continue. Wow, and that's it. Genji wins the also take. It's not even 11 in the morning
and it's over. It's crazy. GG!
Now they go to dinner, they fly home and they lock in for a quick first and win as well.
Who's gonna stop them this year and when?
Because this could just be Genji's winter and Genji's spring of this raid.
You never know what happens in summer or in worlds.
Yep, same as before, James E is just looking unbeatable.
have won the global league of legends circuit for a long time now they have
been at the forefront and sure they lost that lck summer the humble life they
couldn't get the qualification there so good first and last team is really
unfair as first seeds this time with the lck cup in tow and it's been their
dominant performances throughout both regular season translate the playoff
and the gap is astronomical.
There's no prize money for winning LCK?
Wait, really? Did they remove the prize money?
is to drop two games of this whole tournament
and still they just got a top croaker in a tip
well only one waltz we'll have to wait and find out about this
but it's just a guy at the bottom who's just fucking yawning he's to get you get ready
this elite super team lr sign i saw it big w feels like we shouldn't have had any doubt
when does lr play your two lr signs the atlanness strikes again
And after seeing these games today, I feel like they should have known that it was going
to be one-sided.
Some people are probably waking up in Europe and they're shooting at the stream and they're
like wait it's over.
Because now individual players are going to be lifting the trophy.
Every player had a part to play.
But there was one who rose above the restful.
And he will raise the trophy now.
The loudest cheer I think I've heard since we've been here.
I think the good thing about this is the narrative of the Gen.G Golden Road can begin again.
Last year it was just dead early because they lost a hammer life in the else-kick-up.
Now they're a Golden Road like...
Everyone who wins their domestic split is on track for the Golden Road, right?
We'll see if Gen.G can start paving it.
He doesn't beat his former team
Yeah proved
to the world here a
little bit more
Strong roster he can turn that this team into something even more fierce
I think we have seen an evolution of Gen.G here with this roster already in just really the first two months of
2026
GG, check. 35,000 damage, Diablo and Vickla. Not much to say about these games really
There was not a point in the game where B-Rex was winning.
There was a game, parts where they had like a 1.18 gold lead, but then they got the Drake's hold along Kalista and the game was good.
I might go to sleep for a bit and catch up on some sleep for LEC, so a big thanks for LEC and LCS
I might piece it for a couple hours and come back
Get some sleep catch up. I didn't sleep that much
And then have some like I want to make sure I'm good energy for LEC and LCS, you know, I don't just want to like
Long weekend
feel the same way as we need to do more stuff here with Hong Kong because this
event chat I'll go I'll piece it for a bit I'll be back around I'll be back what
time is it 11 at least he starts it for for me I'll be back in about three
hours two to three hours no probably two hours I'll be back two hours
I'll be back in two hours here you did not just chat swap to say cage will

the mainstream but bro this was just then crazy I'm just gonna go now so I can
save time go sleep and I'll be back in two hours okay big love big kiss
