you
I'm here. I'm here. Sorry. Sorry. Hey, hey, I was stuck. Okay, I was stuck. I was stuck,
like really stuck, actually stuck oh my god oh my god no I wasn't stuck in Masters I
Oh my god my hair is horrible, sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, it's horrible, everything's horrible.
It's disgusting, I know you have to look at this disgusting fucking face.
Okay, we're good.
Chad, I've been to the toilet three, four times today.
It's been bad.
Oh my god.
Should be done
People asked me to address the elephant in the room listen
I'm working on a YouTube video because it's probably easier than just getting rage-pated all that all day
What it is about I'm almost finished with the YouTube video
You should drink detoxicating drinks
Is it a crash out? No, but definitely there's some fucking stupid takes in the scene that
are annoying as fuck. Like Jesus Christ. Yeah, I'll make, I'll make, I'll make a
attribute about it because, bro, I don't know how we went from CS releases, fucking
Cochrane guidelines to cajol is the demon of the planet like what in the fuck has happened, bro
What has happened?
Like how does he even spill over and now I'm the fucking like what?
Anyway, I'll make a video on it
Strange fucking world, bro
No, it's not another crash out. Did you see Dom's reaction? No, I didn't. Did Dom react
to the Flygos video? Oh my god, he did. I saw his tweet though. He spelled my name Chair
Kaierdrell? What?
Like he doesn't even spell my name right in his fucking thumbnail. Bro. He's such a degenerate.
It's Kaierdrell killed these boards, not clickbait.
Listen, Dom.
Dom, love you lots. I am not. I am not watching 36 minutes of your content in a row. Hell,
I will tab out. I will mute your content. I will skip forwards and there's nothing you're gonna do about it
nothing
All right, and it's his reaction today to this part
I think that even if you asked the people at riot if they could put pandora back in the box
majority of people have put in that box closed in his reaction today
Majority of the rioters are going to do that, but the people that made the decision knew what was going to happen
They're not for reals. They knew that this is what they were trading off. It's a worthwhile trade-off
Really how Pandora's box works like she was never in the box. She opened it
You know for real never mind spawn is right that we need to make a world where co-streaming and content creators can truly thrive
I'm reacting to him reacting. Okay in and alongside East
You get a recipe for it or what?
Boards, but how do we build it? The creator system is done. We're actually double-react co-streaming right now
There are a couple creators who are long-lasting and are doing the work
but those creators are making pieces of content that are new and people haven't seen before.
You don't see the same react creators persisting today.
A lot of them have died out, have moved on to different projects,
but you know, we see people like Grim who have been in the space for a very long time.
This is the best part.
Ever since, you know, basically Valhalla started.
My favorite, and FlyQuest is probably sitting there and they're like,
Wow. Look how much interactions we got on our video. We did a good job.
And he's still persisting because he's adapting. He's creating new content. He's helping out with
guides, which he has done for a while, but are always still relevant because there are still
players trying to get better and valorant. You have to be a creator that actually offers something
to the space. And I think a lot of people have missed that. And especially in a world where
You can use it as a follow-up.
Followers don't mean anything anymore.
It's about your personality and what you actually offer to your audience,
to the bigger content creation space and eSports space.
But by the way, this is something I'm going to talk about in the video.
I'm not going to spoil it because I need to like finish the video,
but there's an entire chunk missing here.
Grimm is the newest addition to FlyQuest's creator team.
He's been uploading valorant videos to YouTube for over five years,
becoming known as one of the most creative sage players in the game.
He's not just a strong player, but he's great at making content that can connect with valorant players and f-
But he- like, I- okay, I don't want to be that guy, okay?
I'm not here to call creators out. This is just a side note.
But their entire argument, 30 seconds ago, was that they upload and they innovate.
He makes one video every two months.
I don't want to be that guy.
But like-
Bands of all skill and engagement level.
Like what fuck?
Which makes him exactly-
No, if it's him, I'm chill, I'm not calling him out anymore, I'm just saying-
But in order for this relationship to work,
FlyQuest also has to have something to offer Grim.
I would say FlyQuest brings Grim opportunity,
but not in the typical ways of many orgs in the past
where it's not just like, oh, we're giving you.
Maybe there's another platform, I don't know.
Too late, check Reddit.
Or where you have a platform where you have the opportunity
to do the content that he wants to do.
He was talking to us about IRL content
and traveling content, and we want to give him
the opportunity to do that with our other FlyQuest
creators as well as by himself.
You know, if he wants to try something new.
Is Dom Zoinked out, bro?
We want to give him the ability to do that
and not first hear that it's going to fail
because we believe in him.
And he believes in himself, which is the most important part
and he is excited to do things.
You know, you don't find a lot of people
who are really excited about content creation
this day and age that's authentic
to actually feeling excited.
If he comes with an idea and we say,
Yes, he's going to execute it, and he's gonna do it with...
My favourite thing about Dom is he will just make the situation infinitely worse to people who are clueless about esports or mind and dom relationship.
Like he made this tweet where he said, quite disgusting favourite from Kajal.
He's playing solo queue with an LEC timer of 46 minutes, and he's not watching every single second of that countdown.
And I was like, oh that's funny as fuck.
And then I read the comments and said some people who like actually are either bots or NPCs and they're like, wow.
That's disgusting, Gagel.
How dare you?
And I'm like, oh my God, like are we all just,
and then of course, like he will make it worse
but make it funny.
So then he'll make a video called
Car Drill Killed Esports, Not Clickbait.
And it's like dumb.
It's like, on the surface I'm laughing myself.
And I'm like, oh my God,
what's he done now, this little fucker, you know?
And then I see the comments.
I'm like, wait, people are actually like fucking, huh?
All of his heart.
Where is our sense of humor at the time?
which is something that we really value with him.
It's simply not enough to just have somebody with followers, somebody who gets views.
For a content creator to make sense within esports, they have to have some kind of tie to the game itself.
Grimm isn't just somebody who loves to play Valorant and make videos about it.
He's an obsessive fan of the competitive scene and somebody who's ready and willing to share his love for it with his viewers.
That doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be an ex-player or coach like LS.
It can be somebody like Basil, an artist who has been part of the community and understands its sensibilities and tastes.
It can be somebody like Nemo, or Gina Darling, huge creators in spaces that are adjacent enough to esports that there's a crossover just waiting.
What is it?
We hate content creators, but not the ones that flyQuest.
Send the video out, bro. Fuck it.
And to happen.
This is so awkward, bro. This is so awkward, no?
What the fuck?
How long do you do this for?
This is really insane, like I am actually shocked.
Same to say that esports isn't in a place that it used to be a couple years ago, I mean
like in the golden age of esports, there was a time where it was just people that were
hungry.
The thing that annoys me the most about this video is like, anyway we'll finish it.
To actually be involved in the games that were being produced.
It's the thing that just pisses me off, okay?
the reason I crashed out about this whole video a little bit, actually, not entirely,
is their initial thumbnail was an AI photo of me, from photos that I know that they put
in some kind of generator, and then they just took a photo, they changed it, this was the
original, then they changed it to an original photo of me, and they just edited my eyes
to make them black to make me look like a demon, so they've kind of like demonized
me in a way and it's so fuck like I don't understand like how we've gotten from ESL releases
kosher rules that are strict some CS streamers say you know what I'm not gonna coach him actually
this is not for me to now cage was a fucking like a demon and that's why I'm making a video on it
on YouTube because bro this like jump is the most ridiculous thing ever like what the
what is what has happened there's like Reddit threads with a thousand comments there's
There's people writing articles about their takes about how I know the fix and there's
like tweets every day people coming in with like my name in it or like hating on me or
like arguing with each other and they're all coming in like these fucking people who
have pulled Excalibur from a sword being like haha the solution oh this is the solution
it's like bro these solutions don't make sense what we're offering like they just
don't. That's why I'm gonna make a video about it. And then no matter what I say,
people will just take it in bad faith because they'll be like, yeah, well,
you're an entitled, stupid co-streamer who makes money by sitting there
watching people work. So that's just, that's just the crux of the argument
entirely. That is the entire crux of the argument. You're entitled and you
sit there. And then that's the entire, like, crux of everything.
Also, I don't know what type of content they're talking about with Grim.
That's the final argument, no matter what.
You can debate with someone or talk to someone about anything.
And as soon as there's any resemblance of, actually, maybe there's a point.
It's instantly straight back to that, and it's like, oh my god.
Grim, because I'm just like scouting out his YouTube, and I just look at his Twitch.
And if you look at Grim's YouTube, none of the stuff that they talked about
is stuff that he's actively doing, at least yet.
Like sure, maybe that's the plan long term, but if you look at his entire YouTube, you'll
not see any of the other types of content that they were talking about there.
It was just all the same type.
Like how long are you going to mold about this video a while?
Because it's like, I don't know how to even put this in words, because like I said, I
was making a video about it today and I think it took me about an hour and a half
to record like 15 minutes because it's so like jarring to like be painted as this
demonic villain it feels like with like thousands of comments everywhere and I
understand that I'm not a perfect streamer right I get that and I'm not trying
to fucking oh feel sorry for me please oh look at me I'm a big streamer who
makes lots of money with lots of viewers and and I'm offended bro I don't
want none of that fucking pity bullshit my main point about all of this
is I'm sitting there, right? It's been six years of co-streaming. You can go to every
league co-streamer in the world, go to anyone, type in one, make a dartboard and throw a
dart at it and check what they do after a game ends. Every single co-streamer that
you're a fan of or watch taps out, watches a video, scrolls Twitter, reads Reddit,
and that's just been co-streaming for six years and somehow everyone's surprised.
It's like, oh my god, wait, they're all tapping out?
That's crazy.
And that is actually just a straight effect.
Some people do one thing, see if they'll do the other.
And then there was this one incident
where I got a warning.
My first ever warning, I've had one warning
from co-streaming in six years.
I've had one warning.
And it was two weeks ago for playing a game in a break.
That's my one warning in six years.
And I'll hold my hands up.
During LCK, I tap out, I play games.
Everyone knows that in chat, that's for sure.
Everyone basically does that.
And that's the ruling, because that's the rules.
That's the LCK rules.
They're kind of chill.
The LPL, they're super chill.
You do your thing.
There's no direct rule of you can't do this,
you can't do that.
You need to do this, you need to do that.
The LEC, the rules are a bit stricter.
They're a bit more, you know,
we want you to be really focused.
Fair enough, I got a warning.
I'm not trying to contest the warning.
I play the game during a break, shouldn't have done that.
Wait, I can even show it to you.
I've got a warning, fair enough, it do be like that.
And then, and I appreciate the rules change in CS, I get it, the rules have changed.
But then it's like people have seen the change of rules to CS, and seen the streamers
in CS pull out of co-streaming because the rules have changed and they don't like
it as much.
Then they've applied it to League, demonized me from that one incident, and been like,
he's killing me, he's bored.
And this was the incident, that was it.
That was the thing.
And obviously, this in the League of Legends scene, that's the one morning I got.
And now it's turned from a CS ruling change into some fucking boom.
It's crazy.
And yeah, and everyone's coming out of their takes of fixing this and fixing that, so
I don't want to yab about it too much, but I feel like today if I go live, everyone's
I don't want me to talk about it.
But you look kind of cooked in that screenshot.
Yeah, I do look kind of cooked.
I'm going to put the LEC timer up, like I always do,
out of every stream.
So I know that people come in the stream
and they're like, Kajal, when's the LEC starting?
This is something I do all the time.
I do this.
And LEC is starting in 27 minutes.
So in 27 minutes, we're going to watch the stream.
Just so you guys know, for anyone that's new around
Anyway, like I said, we'll make a video on it, we'll talk about it, it is what it is.
Same type of videos, ballerine videos, right?
The teams that were out there, whether we were winning or not, because you know, North
America is in shy to not always being on top, and so you really have to love being
an esports.
So once in chat says, where are you mentioned on Reddit?
It's like, let's open Reddit and let's go to yesterday.
It's like hmm 700 comments. What's up with Katie getting backlash coaching viewership? Let's check the front page of reddit
Ah, is that okay, bro? Every day. There's a new fucking thread about it
Say you're rage baiting to say it just say you're rage baiting make you feel better
Just say, just say I rated you I won and then we can move on, just say it, say it.
It's being a player in this game, whether it's, you know, on the staff side, on the player side, on the content creator side.
And so it's really not about collecting a check anymore. It's about actually being passionate and wanting to do things.
do things and so when you find those content creators that actually want to do that, it
turns into a solution rather than a problem because then you don't look at it a year later
and you said hey, I wasted all this money on this content creator that didn't actually
add anything to this organization.
In today's day and age, it's much more about the quality.
The argument I hate the most before Dom's about to unleash actual dominance.
versus the quantity, you know, whether that speaks on followers, it speaks on find those
content creators that actually want to do that.
It turns into like scouting out his YouTube, right?
I need to see what she's actively doing and I can't hear this part.
I closed it when they saw the Glacier or not, because you know, North America isn't
shy to not always being on top.
And so you really have to love being an eSports and being a player in this game,
whether it's on the staff side, on the player side,
on the content creator side.
And so it's really not about collecting a check anymore.
It's about actually being passionate
and wanting to do things.
I'm sorry, this also like...
And so when you find those content creators
that actually want to do that,
it turns into a solution rather than a problem.
Because then you don't...
Like, I don't want to say this to be weird, right?
But I pour my fucking life into this, right?
and the instant argument anyone will ever make
when I say I pour my life into this
is, well, of course you do.
You're making lots of money.
I did this before I made lots of money.
I would wake up, I would stream every leak,
every day I would make.
And like even in the last few years,
now that I'm privileged enough
to be in a big enough position,
I'll make my own team.
I'll make a fucking, I'll make this,
I'll do this event, whatever it is.
Sure, I'm gonna start doing less this year
until like the award show,
but like if someone comes to me
and says you're not passionate,
bro, I just, like, that's just so dis,
like it just feels so disingenuous,
that and then no matter what I say, like the problem is everything will just get twisted in a way
where you just get painted as a bad person. It's like let's take a primary argument about
co-streaming. A lot of people and some influence people in the industry will have been arguing.
Sponsors are going to pull out when they see the co-streaming, the people are co-streaming
and the numbers are like inflated by co-streamers and it's like well if we remove co-streaming
the numbers will go down inherently right because and then the sponsors will be less
And then they're like, yeah, well, that's why we shouldn't have opened it anyway.
And it's like, oh, so we've just taken your point.
And now we're, and that's why we shouldn't have opened in the first place.
It's impossible to argue or even discuss things.
Sponsors need to be sold to make money for Riot or for teams or whatever.
Co-streaming is affecting that.
Okay, well, if we remove Co-streaming, does that not reduce the sponsorship?
Yeah, it does.
Okay, well, that's why we shouldn't have opened Co-streaming.
Okay, so then how the fuck are we here when we were there like
Look at it a year later and you said hey
I wasted all this money on this content creator that didn't actually add anything to this organization in today's day and age
It's much more about the Dom's being strangely quiet
Quality versus the quantity, you know whether that speaks on followers
it speaks on reach, on different geographic location
and where they have ties to.
I feel like when I'm hearing here, okay,
final thing before Doman Mishos,
it's like, we, I've had this before
with orgs reaching out to me.
It's like, we want you to join our org.
And it's like, okay, let's discuss it.
And it's like, why do we have to discuss it?
We're friends.
We're both passionate.
Let's make this a friendship decision
rather than a transactional business decision.
You see where I'm coming from?
And that's happened ever ever this is the conversation I hear in esports every other week and it's like oh my god and it's like the most
It's about authenticity and about really finding okay dumb
Can't disagree with that more it's still
In the long form space of content creation around esports. It's mainly about the quantity rather than the quality
That is what actually is going to get people watching you. It's a
True and that applies to short form content as well. How many fucking clips are uploaded of content creators on the daily edition of how long you grind?
if
Like if somebody came out and had higher quality content than Kajal, but streamed a sixth of the time
No one would watch that person over
Kajal you get popular being good at what people already like in the e-sports space is like the coast room space you get good at
at doing what people already like and then you spam and you stream as much as you possibly
can of the same type of content and that's what actually gets your viewers. That's what
actually is what makes you a huge content creator. That's what people want. People will
say they want higher quality content whatever, but they just want a lot of content to
to choose from.
I think that person who wants to do something special and not something that's super-
You see Dom's Tweet?
I did see Dom's Tweet.
And I'll say a lot less, I'm saying I'll probably say it in my video as well when I make it
later.
Like Dom's Tweet was-
This video goes down to the worst video I've ever seen in E4 Tour, the first ten
minutes demonized, content creators using lies and omission in this heart.
Dishonest framing, but somehow the last five became a promotion to their own creators.
I lied and thought this was a good idea, this was an extreme crowd of dogs shit.
It's probably more accurate to say that deal with content creators that were focused on
big numbers in the short term rather than building a community in the long term were the problem,
but the shifts in the ecosystem can't be undone and we're not going back to the pre-20s
problem any time soon.
That means it's everybody's responsibility to find ways to integrate content creation
into esports in ways that go beyond chasing that bigger number.
Instead, we need to actually build things that attract and create fans of games
in teams not just the streamers using them for content
hey this is turned down for what with the pain this is what the i didn't even
see this i sort of got into this this is killing me why is audio
going so weird the esports we all love all those
terrible co-streamers look at our amazing co-streamers
wild angle to take this shit is insane bro this is insane i can't believe
that they have the audacity to do is this is essentially just like a clickbait promo for their own streamers is what it felt like this shit was a clickbait promo for their own streamers I can't believe it and the arguments don't even make sense and the way that they like glossed over certain things to like
With this also the original it's a cadet of conquer creators is crazy, but anyways
Is this the original thing coachers like Kendra help League of Legends worlds hit my favorite thing about all of this is Dom
Went out of his way to click the dislike button like he has his takes he has his tweets
But he will also click the button on YouTube
The kind of guy to like his own tweets and then when someone says why do you like his own tweets?
He will like well because I like it
Creator economy is breaking teams spent millions on creative deals that never converted fans
I've already talked about that.
What they spent the money for.
Right to vision broadcast the client, so his costumes took over, and most of the time you went a handful of huge craters while everyone else's team's players and small craters got left behind.
Team's players and content creators got left behind.
What the fuck?
Do you know how much fucking money these players were fucking making?
Do you know what the salaries were for players?
Wait, what did they say?
Creators like Cajal helped League hit world record viewership, but behind those numbers
the creator economy is breaking.
Teams have spent millions on creator deals that never converted fans.
Okay, first of all, and I'm going to talk about this in the video.
This has to be like the most blind take on the planet, that the argument is, teams spend
money on creators to get fans.
No.
Teams spend money on creators to sell against their numbers.
all marketing influencer marketing to get sponsors when I was on Flanek I did
loads of sponsor stuff for them they are incentivized in the riot ecosystem to
increase the viewership of their team in the leagues they participate in and
sell against those numbers to increase their sponsor like numbers and shit and
that's why they signed them sometimes it's good to sign them if it makes
sense but like yeah Dom said that too okay well Dom Dom seems to have done
and all this stuff. I'll go into it more and more in a future video.
Anyway, what else did it say? Riot's official broadcasts have declined as
coaching was to go over and most of the value went to a handful of huge creators
while everyone else, the teams, the players and the small creators, got left behind.
To be mediocre in North America, like us how much money these players were fucking making,
do you know what the salaries were for players? To be mediocre in North America, like us,
How much did you pay WildCurtle towards the end of his career?
How much did you pay for imports on FlyQuest?
You paid millions of dollars for these players.
These players that you paid made more money in one year than I have ever made in a year of my entire fucking life.
Was it FlyQuest, the org that offered Gilius like 500k after the Miracle Run?
What?
Isn't that the whole fucking story?
Did they offer Gilius 500k after the Miracle Run?
They paid millions in salaries to players.
That's how they use their venture capital, and they didn't gain shit from it.
They didn't gain anything from it.
And then they have the audacity to say this, they're actually just fucking delusional, no?
They're honestly just fucking delusional.
I can't, I cannot believe they made this video.
This is a horrible video. I mean, I would love to argue with these people about it, man.
Let's, let's have an actual conversation.
Let's not make video for video, all this type of shit.
Let's have an actual conversation about what was talked about in this video, because this is dog shit.
This is just a combination of lies, poor framing, and then like this weird glazing of your own
content creators, but shitting on all the other content creators, like this is hot shit bro!
Damn bro!
Oh that was horrible, that was a horrible watch.
Like I knew it was gonna be bad, cause people messaged me and were like yo you gotta react
to this video like, but I didn't look at anything, and I was gonna give it the
benefit of the doubt.
But this is really unethical I would say, like they're just essentially made a video
to try to make the people that were in it like me and Kajal look bad.
Like, they used a bunch of clips and they're like,
and the greedy piece of shit content creators that probably have gray hair
and whose families hate them, probably are childless in their mid to late 30s,
are all reaping the benefits of the hard work of the players and the
organizations and the coaches. What the fuck? This shit is crazy.
Yeah, not much to say here. This is just one of the worst videos I've
watched in these months. Thank god I don't do this shit for
I would lose my mind.
I feel like when it comes to hating, Dom is LeBron James.
Like he is just straight up LeBron James when it comes to hating.
Like when I watched this video, I had a one minute crash out about how they were glazing
their curators and that's kind of it.
And then he will take, watch that video and then he'll just drop like six nukes.
Was it not one minute?
It was like 20 minutes, that's not true.
Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway.
No matter what you say, the argument always bounce back to, we've been through it already.
been to it already. It's also kind of hard to take the action novel. I'll leave it for
the video. Minor crash out equals three days of being stun locked. Stop giving a fuck. Yeah,
I mean, I feel like I need to make a video and then I'll stop giving a fuck, you know
Otherwise
Otherwise it's gonna be weird because the problem is it's like this it's it's so strange to me that ESL does their rules
And we've ended up in a point where people outside of the e-sports scene have now like been convinced that I'm a demon and I'm like
somehow
single-handedly responsible for annihilating eSports on the spot, like, it is crazy business.
I'm not gonna pay out to Wilds, we'll pay out to Wilds on Wednesday, on Wednesday.
What is this? I've said numerous times that we are lucky to have Cajil as our main English coach,
Caution for... This is the smallest fuck, how do I make it bigger?
Oh, it's sorry that's ready.
I've said in the last time we're looking at typecaters, our main English Caution reference,
MVCM, flystories and creates hype for even matches, I don't have it.
That don't have it.
I've made countless videos about this, I'll say that I support and understand broadcasting.
One thing, their products shown in my words are getting warped for things, I do not say,
and the views is getting in the right hand.
If you're looking for someone who has been dedicated for 15 years to try and make a broadcast,
she's better, she's a part of better, and put the viewers first, I'm right here, I'm not your enemy.
Yeah.
It's insane that it's just like shit being thrown everywhere.
Like what the fuck is going on?
This is like one of those things where the e-sport or the community or whatever you want to call it,
like things need to come together and find something that works for everyone.
But the problem is people just go in circle arguments and deflect everything you say like I said earlier.
All these primary arguments of like we need to, and I talked about it already, like there's a Reddit thread that's like, we need to charge licensing fees to creators.
And we should make them lose the broadcast and they should have to do their own production.
And it's like top of Reddit and people like so true. Yeah, this is definitely what has happened. We need to like make them pay for licenses.
And it's okay. Why what do you think paying a license for will achieve? Because in my opinion
I think what it will achieve is
Riot comes to me and Dom and all the coaching men are like you need to pay us and we're not gonna give you any the broadcast
We're gonna give you the clean feet of the game
And if like let's say let's say all the coaching was accepted and they're like actually, okay
We'll pay you for the license. What do you think happens then?
the broadcast gets annihilated on the spot you're ripping everyone in
different directions that's exactly what happens what happens well now all of a
sudden I'm a TV show apparently now I need to get a studio hire casters get an
observer get a producer if I want to pay for all that because I only have clean
feed and then I will just co-stream or commentate over casters I hired oh
what's that casuals rates are pretty good and they don't want to work as
anymore oh Dom's rates are pretty good like what happens you're just
making more broadcasts at that point. You're just expanding broadcasts in the English language
to destroy the other one. And I don't know what kind of like, or maybe I'll just cast it myself.
Like, fuck it. I'll just cast the games. Like I was specifically told five years ago when I
saw the kosher ming, you're not allowed to cast the games because you're a kosher ming. So that
doesn't really count. So what happens then? Do I just start casting, get a production observer
and then I do interviews or Dom does interviews and we just cross pollinate broadcasts somehow?
Is that gonna work, you think? I feel like what that's gonna do is it's gonna hurt the broadcast even more.
Now what? Because you know what you're paying for a licensing fee for? You're paying for the IP.
So now, I don't even have to show the sponsors on my stream. Now I can just sell my own sponsors!
Like, what kind of world- And then Riot's like, wait, there's like seven other English broadcasts all selling their own sponsors and paying for their own tools?
Huh. Why the fuck do we have a broadcast? Yo, just take the fucking game, we're out of here.
Like, why the fuck are they paying for a studio at that point?
Like that's gonna open up a complete fucking and that's all to say
If they accepted it what happens if all the kosher would just say fuck that i'm not paying for my own fucking show
like what
Like it's so easy to be like oh these people are sitting on their ass all day kosher mean league and fucking
Jacking off and they're privileged to shit and they're making loads of money. Okay, bro. I get it. Yeah
I'm on your side. I agree with that. I'm not despair. I'm not disparaging that or whatever
But then be like, my solution is to fuck these guys and they should pay, bro, okay?
They start paying for these licenses. Where is that going to lead? Where is that going to lead? Seriously?
Think about it.
And I don't understand how this is like something that people could actually like say and then not like properly think about.
The winner here is they would the end goal for broadcast them would just be the publisher would
just get paid to have give licenses out and then they will just delete their broadcasts.
So anyway, I don't know, it's just like, I feel like I've been like rage baited and
paint this the bad guy in the last two weeks.
I see this FlyQuest video come out and then I see people being like, wow, this is such
a great video.
And I feel like I'm going insane.
I'm sitting there like this is fucking disturbing like am I going fucking crazy and then
Like I feel like I look like a demon and they're glazing themselves
I don't get it and people in Israel. Wow, this is so good and then Dom comes in and I'm like God bless like and
Obviously me and don't have a friendship, right?
So people will be like yeah, he just came in towards you, but he actually says what I think thought and I was like, bro
Holy fuck come back to coaching don't please like the LeBron James of hating needs to come back
And then like my other, my, the other like face of the argument, like I said, you will
just go in circles forever and you'll, you'll just go in circles forever.
Like I said, the other argument is like, we need to sell more sponsors and costumers
affecting sponsors? No, Co-streaming is making the numbers go up so they can sell against
the sponsors. Okay, well, fuck the Co-streamers. We need to remove the Co-streamers to improve
the sponsorship time, to make the sponsorship better and sell more sponsors. Okay, but
then there's less viewership because the Co-streamers are gone. And it's like, yeah, well, we shouldn't
have opened Co-streaming. It's like, what? So you went from sponsorship selling against
the Co-streams to removing Co-streams to now arguing that we shouldn't have opened
in the first place. It's like, there's no solution here. It's impossible. We're
going in circles forever. It's hard to take like these positions to face value because it's always
like what ifs. Let's protect what okay let's let's play the what if circle loop argument game what if
they never open kosher ming and now we'd be sitting here two years later viewerships absolutely in
the fucking pavement everyone's arguing to open kosher ming and riots refusing like what and what
like if you want to live in the world of what ifs like what the fuck well every esport is
doing it.
Can you guess some geos already?
Well, I guess FlyQuest video worked. It worked. They got all the interactions they could have hoped for.
Congratulations. Yes, we successfully ragebated half the scene and either the half somehow fucking ate it up somehow almost like wow.
The only time I see you as a villain is when you lock in Yo Nordkennen and Grandmaster.
Bro.
I'm lighting Grandmaster these days.
Oh!
Someone in the chat says just be a kosher for Flycoist.
That'll fix it.
Oh fuck, bro.
Oh shit.
Oh is that how I avoid all of these like reddit threads and shit?
I just have to fucking...
Okay, are they gonna come to me tomorrow? I'm like send me an email being like look
we know your passion but leak and
We really feel like you and us you and I you and us we have something in common
We both
Share that passion and that's why I don't want this to be a business transaction relationship
I don't want to talk about all of the contract stuff. I just want our friendship
To find a mutual benefit for each other because you love us. We love you. We both love the game
why can't we do something, you know? Fuck off, bros.
Oh my god, wait.
There's so much like fake annoying business dev stuff.
Like I can allude to something that really pissed me off and I won't say the team.
I was on a team once as a creator and we were joking around on stream about a
jersey design with a rat on it and shit like that and I thought that was super
cool and then instantly like this piece of content turns into hey why don't we
sell that and I was like it's kind of a content piece I think it'll be funny I
don't think this should be like something we sell but I think if we
like sell it for charity, that would be cool. And a couple of weeks later they're like, so you
don't want to run with this content piece and make the strategy popular. I was like no, I think
we can work, we can make something happen here, we can make some good content, but it just has to
be for like a good cause, because I feel like if we just did this as like a marketing tool,
this would just come across as like really fucking, what's the word like,
in, what's the word like, not genuine, you know? And it's like,
yeah, we're gonna pull out of this idea and you're gonna have to explain to all your fans
that you didn't want this to happen so yeah see you later and I was like what this is my fault
what like yeah we were already designing it and we were gonna actually put it out and we were
gonna support you right here but now you don't want to do it so we're not gonna say anything so
you're just gonna have to tell everyone why it's gonna happen and I was like
I was like, ugh!
The fuck?
I was like, bro, this can definitely happen.
This is great content.
We can make this for charity and shit.
And it was like a fan-made design.
And I was like, we can do some giveaways
and shit with this.
They're like, mm, yeah, just,
I don't think we're aligning on this.
And I'm like, what?
How have this content piece idea turned into like this?
And then I'm the one who's like in the wrong, like I was going crazy.
The worst part was the worst part was actually, and you can, you can, you can take this with
it, with, with, with however you want.
When they, when they said, when they said, okay, we'll sell it.
When they said, okay, here's our idea.
We want to sell it.
Okay.
You won't believe this.
This is actually 100% true.
This whole content piece happened.
The fan art, the design of the jersey happened.
All of this stuff and I was pushing for like a charity incentive giveaway like wear it on stream something
That's really like genuine
They came to me and they're like now we want to sell this and we love the idea
We'll give you 5% cut on all the sales for the jersey from your stream. I
Said what?
I'm not even kidding
They were like let's sell this with a 5% cut and
And you'll market it is a great idea. We really want to push your content idea
You know where like this is the thing I hate sometimes that we're we're like we're like friends
You know we want to get along we want to make this like I'm like bro. This is out of control
so these things just annoy me because it's like at one point you turn around you're
like am I being gassed it or am I just being like I might and I am I in the wrong like
what is this but we're family you're like we're here to help each other out it's like
Oh my God.
And then these are the things that happen in esports.
And the reason I'm telling this story
is because this happens to probably a lot of people
with a lot of different organizations or other things
and then you can't tell the full story
or actually say it properly
because you're not really allowed to
and also you can't really piss off the person
that you're kind of with it, you know.
And so that's why like some people will like say,
I fuck him under NDA or I can't say it now
or I wish I could.
And that's why sometimes I just appreciate them
cause you know, he just comes down and he says,
fuck you, fuck you, fuck you too.
And you can suck my dick.
And I'm just like Jesus Christ, dumb.
You just, you just went there.
Say who it was.
I'm not gonna say, I'm not gonna say naming.
I'm not naming and shaming.
I'm just saying these things just happen around them
and it's just like.
That's what Shrok said, yeah, there's just, bro, you just, I feel like, and the only
reason I guess the conclusion for me saying all of this is sometimes there's creators
or there's casters or there's whatever and they get shit on publicly for something
and it's actually not, sometimes it's actually just not their fault or there's
literally nothing they can do about it but they can't tell you that they can't
about it so like it just turns into this really awkward thing where you're
just getting shit on from both sides and you're like fuck can someone can
someone fucking say some shit
775, okay, what's 775?
Reactrix, 3100, 3100, no, 2800, 2900, 2900, what?
2.6300, I can't crash out if that is true.
I never built this item
2.2k
2.3k
Almost, 2.2k
I do really like it
It might be good at the game
but the math is not
mapping so far
Welcome back to the third day of
LEC week 4 here ladies and gentlemen
And Finn and Jack, were you good at this
back then when you were playing?
There's a series in email bro
Now it's like scary
you know
Yeah, like the item of songs I have no idea what that would be. I mean that was very cheap
I was I was really good when it came to poppin items, okay, but whenever we're like past the southern river
Yeah, challenging for me. I would like to say all right. Well, you're not gonna like what's coming then because I'm gonna try you guys at this game
Guess the item here. We're gonna give it to you. You're gonna have to guess the price
the first one we have if we can pull it Imperial Monday 2500 gold it is right
behind you actually yeah
I know it's not too much I want to be critical sorry
oh my god Jack spectrum we're gonna get the name next time
I have my guess, I have my guess.
2.3k, I think it's 2.3k.
2.3k.
No, but close though.
Was it changed?
Yeah.
I guess it might be changed.
2.25?
Yeah.
This is all because you don't cross from LCS?
2.25.
Okay.
2.25.
All right.
Jack, you're gonna have to log in.
Bro, what is my mob writing?
I'm very passionate about Lucian.
When was that, by the way?
No, not about that.
I'm not monitoring my Nami's inventory.
And what am I doing?
No.
Disrespecting the support yet again. It's a rocket belt. That's crazy. I think I was one as well. I think it's two two fifty
Did you write the same?
Rocket belt. Yeah, two six fifty
I think you can get a dash for 2k gold jacks.
I just thought you could click well.
This is embarrassing.
Are we doing these two together?
Yeah, that's the trick. You have to combine both of them.
That is 2777.
I know that. I'm close to both.
Okay.
No, it's 28...
Wait, is that 49 or 1450?
It's too
You have to add it up
2787 yeah I got the same
2787
That is correct!
Yay!
That was hard numbers to add
I guess it's the 1-1
Is that fucking OM record?
OM record!
Wasn't that 3k gold?
I have no idea
That has been removed
I think it's...
Oh baby, it's not much tricky.
I'm gonna go with 2800.
I'm gonna go 2750.
And that is incorrect for both.
Ah, 2650?
Yeah, 2650.
What? That shit was broken.
We were close, we were close.
I thought about that one.
You both suck, but it's fine.
I'm gonna pick your knowledge on something else.
Yo, Toria, much love, much love.
You're what up, Belia?
So far, what do we have to end it?
Why do we?
This weekend because vitality is the first team
and qualifying to play-offs, they're also the first team to have played enough games to qualify to play-off, but that's irrelevant to my point.
What do we think of that team actually?
I mean right now, Vatav is kind of like the Qiyana Reeves of LSE.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.
They can't do anything wrong.
Wait, Velja, you're not ranked one anymore, or?
Yeah, sure. Everybody loves them. What do we lack about them though?
Well, I think...
You kind of fell off.
One, their personalities match their gameplay, and also just the fact that they're drafting in such fantastic ways.
Not gonna lie, you're getting mugged by skewbond right now apparently, that's crazy.
I have to show you something because it just looks pure trouble.
and I would like to see the essence of the shy a little bit more from that Quinn.
I'm happy that we see Renekton Quinn again.
It's a good vibe.
They said in the podcast that their scrims match the games that they have on stage, which is pretty rare.
I can't find the post, it's CG.
Their scrims actually go very similar to the stage games, which I think is extremely rare.
In the landscape where you go play Locodoco in scrims and then you go on stage
and you are very well measured, you bring your suit and tie.
they deleted. There was a post by the LEC of the standings and it just looked
full-chopped but I don't know where it is.
On the other side we had GX, they weren't defeated and the real trial for them was to know if they're actually going to be good against the stronger teams.
Turn out they're nuts for now but yeah what do we make of that?
I mean it's tough right? It's like a reality check I guess because Gianix just played the weaker teams and now immediately going up the
tough opponents they kind of just crumbled under the pressure I think the
Navi series they could have won it they had a really good game one but up
against Vitality they just went all across the board and I think for me the
one thing that Ginex needs to figure out it's just no engine we have not seen
them perform how we saw them before and the rest of the line was playing
we value us less matches what do you say I can't see it how we used to see them
I mean it's hard to say we are looking at it already
I don't know a crash out, but like like a burn like a car crash or aesthetic manner, you know
Yeah, because I feel like we saw this coming. I kind of knew that GX was gonna hit the whole line
We kind of knew that GX we have seen before from them that they are a good team
That's true a great team. They still need to reach that hurdle from one car crash to another
Actually, that's all that's gonna sound so bad. I caught up with striker and here today to talk about the state of shifters
So let's check it out. I'm so sorry
Stryker, thank you for joining me ahead of today's game, it has been tough for shifters as a whole, we've seen that and I want to follow up on something that you've tweeted last week, thinking about first match, second match leading to the third one, the fact that you feel like players lost confidence, can we follow up on that?
that shift has confidence with mostly composure right but something that we're
trying to work on also found a link maybe in training with this I think that
we're taking steps right the leaf and hopefully today will be better on that
aspect that you know what you're just on when basically nothing seems to be
working I mean the thing is usually when this is a case you try to get back
to basics and to simplify simplifying making it easy the main
more also you try to be humble and to be open-minded because whatever you did is not working obviously so you have to shift your
Exploration and your system sometimes so that's what we've been doing here
And thinking more about you because we talk about the confidence from the players
But I want to address more as well because I know that last year you said that you would resign if the results were not there
Obviously you being here and the community picking up on that
I told you what I said is the club was free to break my contract, because they just renewed me.
Shifters decided to keep going with me, I never had the intent to leave myself.
But what I said is, if after renewing me, just change your mind after summer, I won't take any money from you.
Alright, I was wondering if it makes you doubt your methods maybe as a coach,
or if you readjusted in that sense knowing that.
I mean, that's always the same, when you do something that doesn't work,
You're trying to think about what you could do better, but at the same time, I think it's important to stay confident and to understand that thing that worked for years before that.
My favorite part about the stream these days is Velya's comments.
Of the window, right? So you need to understand with this group what you need to keep and what you need to reinvent.
And that's a selection process that sometimes can take time.
Looking at this week and the sample of games that you guys played together, what is something you can do?
He just writes the most random shit ever.
Or you can just be ready for G2. You know it's never an easier opponent.
Yeah, I mean, that was good, right?
We tried to work on most of the puns of the game because I don't think that there was something that we were super good at.
But the thing that we know for fun is that we can get leads, that's something that we showed against Vitaity, against JX as well.
And then how to close the lead and how to not give me windows to come back is what we've been looking to fight a bit more.
Working on mistakes is something, but working on strength and pushing on that is also something else.
So what are some strengths for shifters right now?
I think we are a good early game team.
Shut up, stop it. Stop it, stop it, stop it.
Are you going to play in ENC? No, I decided I'm not going to play, I think.
It's too much bro, it's too much.
Now I need to be convinced that they actually can't do that because I haven't even seen them do the basics once this year
If I say no, but it's impossible man. It's straight after Worlds, so how am I gonna fucking scream in practice from NA when it's straight after Worlds?
I'm gonna have to start fucking popping the snooze again because I can't play without that shit if I'm locked in
of them and every win matters right now. I need to start like putting in the effort soon you know
I don't know I feel like I'm gonna send myself into a fucking pit if I start grinding solo queue.
Yeah you can't get away with just beating heretics just beating fanatic you really need to pick up
the wins up against all the teams nearly at this point because it's really dire for shifters but
the biggest criticism we've had for shifters is their macro and today they're going up against
G2
We will support you yeah, but what happens if I sit there tank my life for three months grinding soul to all day every day
To then rock up to round one and lose because fucking meal deal got gapped like what the fuck bro. Hell nah
Like it's just
I'm scared that I'm gonna full send it and I'm gonna tank myself a bit
And I don't know where it's gonna end up, you know
Like why would a 10G can't even fucking full clear once it's just cooked
Just getting killed by red buff. It's like what's the point
What if you solo kill Faker?
Yeah.
I mean, that would be sick. And then I would get ganked and then...
We're losing.
I don't know, maybe we can win. I don't know.
Where's your passion?
Oh, fucking hell.
I don't know, I'm not feeling it.
It's either it's true. It's true
Me competing the argument will be if I don't compete
Where's your passion? And if I do compete it's like he's stealing the spots of the younger generation
How dare he he's washed and he knows it. Why is he even trying? It's like it is just it's just chopped
I'm a leader the other day.
I did pick up a pentakill in the series.
So that is the thing, right?
Captain's getting a pentakill on screen, and all the things he can do about it is how he died.
I would get to that point, because the thing with G2 is that
no matter what happens, as long as they get to that point.
Is this series an email? For real, yeah.
As you said, seed and the size of this are something that they're reading about.
I swear, I do look small on this camera. Something happened.
There are to be shifters that no funny things can happen in the early game.
no fun allowed on fun day monday usually for g3 spot but it is time for them to take on shifters
let's get through it
bum but uh bum bum
let's get into it the final day of alice spring week four oh yeah it's monday so there's no one
in this video it's empty and the question is can shifters start to write this ship ready
Because it is going to be a struggle and a long road to climb
I don't really climb most usually you drive along the bit if the road has we got many very on the cast
Hey, yo
And we're getting ready for the start of another beautiful week
But it is the end a week for a velice as we were highlighting earlier
It's g2 versus shift is a shift has yet to find a win a series when I should specify
so far here in the LAC, whereas G2, they've looked a little shaky, you know a lot of people have argued
ah it's just regular season G2 and yes, I wish I could say otherwise, unfortunately they've done this
multiple times and they look kind of met in regular season and then they look really good in
playoff so until that change is unfortunate this narrative will never change, but it does mean
that some teams have opportunities to potentially find some updates, upsets, which the question is
can shifters in fact be that team that's true wait I've never seen an
onion cake that would be interesting anyway
UK. Alright, well, I do think shifters have some games where they look actually not bad.
The problem is, they look not bad for 15 minutes and then they all start running around in
things. So if they don't look bad then hopefully they don't look bad for a bit longer than
10 minutes.
the car but then teams just go get up at Caitlyn with the internet and it's still perfectly fine.
Rumble of course still open. G2's Rumble I think is still a big question mark. Especially given that
I mean it's very sick. I don't know actually. Rumble ban? No. Really? Rumble ban versus G2?
I remember playing against G2 in this winter and we were like not really even open. Hell no.
You're pumping, then to the 84 viewer rate, much love huge rate, big pace.
Yeah, Bard first pick is kind of strange, I think Pantheon is kind of broken, guys, if you want to pick Pantheon.
Wow, they pride the rise over the Pantheon.
I feel like Rise is a lot more counterable than Pantheon.
We do not see a rise up like we saw in the last open birth reality, and you lost what the reality page Mundo top
By the way that you Cal rise old he had to apologize on Instagram for that rise old why the fuck's going on
Why does he to apologize on social media for his misplay?
Hiduck piloting that in this game is something he's very comfortable on.
Also, people thought he was match-fixing.
What?
New Cal's the best player on their team.
Ooh.
So, G2, you better watch out.
Sharing some facts right now.
I like that.
Look, OK.
I watched the facts segment.
Very good.
Loved it.
Your delivery could have been slightly better.
Also, we needed a sound bite when it was like, facts.
OK, Karma Prio is still pretty high despite the nerfs.
I feel like Nami matching the Karma lanes is pretty good.
If Nautilus is banned.
BAM BAM BAM BAM
The Rise issue? That Risehold is a known issue over at the Rise main subreddit.
I remember opening up the Rise main subreddit once and it had 20 posts where they all just said
all just said QBQBQBQQQQQQQQQQQQ on every post-title for 1000 characters in the
box.
I closed that shit in to you.
Like look, I googled it.
This is what I saw when I opened up the Ryze main thread at once.
This is what every post was for like 20 posts because their champ was too weak
So they all unleashed on red for like a week straight
It was crazy
Check the Azir subred
There's nothing going on in EZ-rated.
Or?
The EZ-rated fucking dead.
It's just- it's just fucking people doing shuffles.
It's like the 2010s when DJ Sleeter was popular, bro.
Everyone's just fucking shuffling.
Silent ban, J-span.
A month ago.
I can't find it, I can't find it, look at me, I can't find it.
Jayspen, Sion, Ben, Pentil, Ben, I mean, I would ban Zinzal, they are constantly
broken with Zinzal.
Vayne ban, this is NAR blind, because they ban Jays as well, so this is probably NAR
I would recommend either taking away Nar or taking away Sin.
The problem is if you take Nar here, BB goes Yasuo top, which is kind of annoying.
So do you want to play against Yasuo top?
Yes or no?
If no, you pick Jungle.
If yes, you pick...
Wow, they take Vi?
Why?
What?
Now they're going to play against Sin now.
What? Now they're gonna play again, Sindel.
Toppy?
What happened to G2?
They fell off.
But they're gonna fall back in.
Broganblade Narva as well does a similar thing.
Sometimes, you lose. It could be like that. You don't go undefeated forever.
Even if you're a finalist of an international. You can't always win.
Look at my career. I never won at all.
Sometimes you just have happy little fucking weeks.
Sometimes it's weeks where the match is bad, or you don't find like big-face...
Wait a second. You have...
Why are they playing nocturnes?
Okay, interesting. I've never heard you talk about the champ before.
I think he's a bad champ.
Okay.
Right?
But the reason why he's good is because early dueling, especially in Divide, he's slaughtered.
If I can't do anything, you can literally...
I mean, we've seen Rats before, do it.
You just watch.
Shut up, everyone. Add to your invite.
It's only a short enough.
Shut up, channel to one.
They're back for you.
So I'll pick Kisai.
I have to go and get the adds during the game.
Because I'll see you in a second.
What is going on on the rise, reddits?
Are they doing a summoning circle for the Azir reddit?
Sorry?
Are they doing a summoning circle to buff Azir?
From Freak or what?
What kind of fucked up Reddit is this?
They're actually insane.
Then, then.
Bum bum.
I'm just I'm just saying check the briar subreddit. There's a subreddit for briars
You can jump on people's heads.
Are you trying to make me with facts right now?
Look, there's a ton of followers.
Realm Warp exists.
Bayes rush to Betty.
Now Goomba's stopping on someone to jump over.
Right, right, right.
You can ride the tidal wave.
Little surf on it.
You can ride the tidal wave, can you?
It's possible, it's possible.
First, the Kali game we have seen in the LEC
from Rooster.
Only the second one has played it all time.
Awesome, is that pretty?
Oh
What is that
What is that I've only picked up one game. We're not even they both pressed the same buttons or what victory against a vitality
Oh, apparently Rooster is 5 and 4 on Akali, but 8 of those games were as a mid laner.
So I was looking at his top laner Kali games, but of course he did used to play mid lane as well.
Rooster used to be a mid laner? I didn't know that.
It's only the second time we've seen Rooster on Akali top. The last time was in 2022.
Bro, when fighting games are like giga hype and the casters are losing it.
Obviously, you weren't listening to that. I just said it, buddy.
Oh my god, he got all of them. He got all of them.
Oh. Oh, oh, oh. He's playing Ignite, Electrocute, Akali top.
Is he that guy? And he's split-mapp on.
The second guy in chat says, Olivia wall equals NAR combo.
Yeah, so you could wall his own teammates into a NAR ult. You're right.
On top of the fact that the passive really helps you as well, getting that extra bit of healing.
And so Vi, who just kind of... I mean, what does she really do on level 1?
She punches! And does something while punching. I can't remember what the full quote is.
She punches and does something while punching?
Ah, yeah.
finish the space game now I'm gonna finish the space game on when why is lane
stopping not a meta anymore because they made it so you get a quest for your lane
and if you lose your lane you do the quest a hundred times slower so you can't
leave your lane anymore
hop broken his jungle roll Akali just used ignite and the wave is frozen and
and she has no TP.
Okay guys.
Yeah, I'm kind of cooked, says the Akali.
Yeah, we should know the map is split.
The ignite does give you a little bit more kill pressure. Well, it gives you a lot more kill pressure, really.
But without that TP, you're now going to be heavily...
And the Vi is taking bot camps, but it doesn't really matter.
We can see that the wave has been frozen.
The only disadvantage he has is their split map on bot, but probably not.
Good ward, progs are up, healthy HP.
...from Rooster's perspective.
Getting the wave under tower before you get ganked, which is the expectation, is vital, right?
And so now Rooster again has to be a little bit further up.
get his crows. I wonder if Vi, did Vi know that he crossed back? Because he needs to base
right now in the middle turn. There's a chance if Vi is really lucky she checks top grab.
The crab's up.
Art?
Ooh, failed the combo.
Oh, failed the Q flash.
Oh.
They both kind of failed their combos.
Oh.
But yeah, Perusa, although, you know, his KDA is low and Shifters have been losing, actually...
Captures needs to crash this wave, press B and life is great, but...
Oh, it's true, he has to flash there.
Otherwise, Anivia flash E-Auto's, X to minions and kills him.
Reconblade on the other side has been struggling.
Right, 10th in Gold Difference, 10th in CSD, 10th in Damage Percent, which is partly, of course, due to the champions that he's been picking.
But we talked about it a little bit in draft. It hasn't so far been...
The new portia is here, I swear to god.
I swear to god.
What? We're getting 2v2 killed by Shifter's bot lane?
Hello?
What?
Did LaProv go in ward or what? How did he...
Where did Nami go?
He's playing TP Corki in the lane. Do we agree with that?
It probably makes the lane a lot easier, but...
I'm kinda ch-
Nerf and Evia, it's kinda, this champ's annoying now. At first it was PogChamp, my bird.
We win internationally with it, love that shit, BPLG, all that good stuff.
now yeah fuck that champ disgusting cringe pic
You know what we are on track for those we are on track for a couple more patches and world's met that will be
fucking cinema
Oh good one rotten eggs. I knew I missed eggs in my egg joking yesterday
Close
Show me cute show me a skew max range max range can hit it. I think
Are you gonna dive for real?
Uhhh...
He's viable, no he doesn't, he's all a 5, but that's a no flash Nami.
FQ.
Uhhh...
Anything you can do, I can do better. Watch me.
Are we gonna keep diving? Anyone else wanna dive?
Anyone else wanna dive, one for one?
Now it is my job to help the viewer understand what is happening.
Uh-huh. I'm the viewer.
My job becomes somewhat harder.
We'll be thrown out from PDUC to see if it can snipe, but as you quite rightly identified.
So let's hope that the replay can help you understand.
The idea here is to try and get that pick onto PDUC.
He's very low.
So now they go, okay, we can dive this, but you can't.
Because you don't have a minion.
So Han's summer immediately has to get away.
Then the tower is stacking up.
But then, Scumon, you've got no flash left.
So a very ambitious dive, which has then responded with shifters, saying,
you know what, we've died this.
And I'm looking at the other one, because I know that some shenanigans are happening.
The Vi one was like questionable.
The whole members of G2 are collapsed on Puduckill.
Our king's shipped out of the field.
Oh, god.
Put the Looney Tunes on.
He's going to run for a while.
OK, we're just going to Nocturne ult him, really?
Really?
OK.
Jesus.
Wow he is not fucking around
There's no flash and that's a level 6 vibe. Yeah, I can move guys. Thank you anyone else got some CC
They want to use on me. Wow, so much is taking his red
What is happening
What
What is happening in my...
The bro's not gonna hit 6 on the wave so he can't ult.
It feels like every time someone does something to one of their teammates they take it personally.
Like they will right click you until death from that point onwards.
You've got a bounty on your head.
Surely it won't keep going right?
That's enough. We're done now, right?
The int is out of our systems. The skills are back. The objectives, dragons, we're Europeans. We love dragons.
It's still alive.
Definitely a nice item spike for sure.
Top lane, I think Broken Blade isn't too stressed about this counter pick coming through from the back.
I'm also an else the K-Fan, but I appreciate and admire the stronger region, okay?
I don't want to hear none of that.
It wasn't 1-0 or 2-0, it wasn't 3-0 or 4-0, it was 6.
Fall me once, shim on me, fall me twice, shim on you, fall me six times, we're better.
middle support mini a ram I guess is happening because there are grubs to be
found and so it can be actually gonna go across get this guy is blue and get a
little bit of vision actually a kill I think maybe actually
The client is in a flash, maybe we're not gonna kill him.
When was NA released? It's gotta be like 15 years at least.
Season 4, you might think wow, 15 years Kato, what the fuck? That's a long time, there's no way it's been 15, it's actually been 12 going on 13, it's not as bad as you would think, I guess.
12 years.
not seeing a drake take. Yeah it's usually because you play around drake using a bot
prior but bot lane has been killing each other permanently and a lot of ganks from
both junglers have been invested in the bot lane and the junglers often die when
that happens which means that the dragon then isn't converted as a result but
now there should be a slightly higher priority objective as I say that.
Oh that's a prior. Retriever. So perhaps slightly more delayed. Yeah, recall coming out from the skew one as well so
I'm likely to see that drake take immediately as rooster slammed against the wall by
We're 12 minutes deep and no one has hit a dragon
He's been feeding his pet the jungle pet a little bit more rapidly down to two stacks left on that jungle item
Whereas Bucata has six on his Bucata doesn't have any camps to take either
Whereas Skiumon still has his wolves and if he has that extra treat can actually upgrade his smite quite a lot earlier
Then Bucata we talked a little bit about that, you know the early jungle and bades and what it does for the team
It doesn't just split the map also allows you to really accelerate towards that upgraded
Also, I'm keeping my eyes on the broad of a discompletion just because there is that small window where you get that spike
But I'll have to shut up if the general is looking for a gang on a broken blade
Oh, he missed R2 he's for real
All right big kill who's on the board
And while it's happening G2 will take the first dragon of the game
Nice gang from shifters, and then a nice cross man coming through from G2
Corky has Triforce, Ezreal has Phage, big problem in blocking
Ezreal stuck man, he just wants to base
About 30 seconds later than the slowest drake we'd had this split as well
But as well, the previous record was 12 minutes 11 seconds.
That was about 12, 40, 12, 45, or so.
I didn't keep an exact timer on when it went down,
because I was looking at the set on the screen.
Where's my protobelt, Anivia?
I want to see Roa into Seraphs, into Actualizer,
into Rocket Hills.
It's like, how does Moves need something?
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
Are you here, though?
No, good.
Hey, you want other things?
No, I just thought you kind of had a thing going.
I was looking up Karma's ability names because focus is everyone says match it in a plane right?
No one says soul flare
What the fuck is soul flare?
I think so too. I also think a lot of people confuse when I say match it in a flame. Gonna be honest
I think most players are curious called soul flare. No, it's not. It's called Q
Passive saying that I was right this whole time. Oh, no, I think it sounds a lot better if you say the name
That's true. I just think it you know
people kind of
You don't think it's confusing in the middle of a teamfight of eight champions for me to shout hit some with the Q
What's miles are old actually don't know what is it called trying spike call of the void or some shit
What is what is miles are old school? I am neither grass
Taken down squishy in that small form. You know the one thing I think we take for granted
Yeah, it's a we've had their grasp most of its life, right? That's true. Yeah, so just kind of by instinct
I know what the qwer is of most champions
Sure, but there are people that will have only just started playing League of the last few years
And so when I say not doing skewed as this
They're playing League right now that a younger than the Nivea
And a few years you'll be able to play League on an Xbox with an Xbox controller.
And I hope to god they allow cross-platform and they make it a mandatory thing.
Because I want to shit on those fucking Xbox controller players.
Please.
And you know what Riot could do just for the cherry on top?
They can open up xbox live voice chat, oh my god, then I can dump to them with my mouse
and shit talking.
And I'm talking team, I'm talking cross team.
I'm talking 2013 cod lobby.
Yo, fucking controller andies.
You see the bot lane is now moving up towards it, Caps doesn't have teleport, but he's matching that of Nuku doesn't have the teleport either, so looking to be a 4v4 brawl if there is going to be an objective start, but I think with the strength of Akali right now, the 24th has now been finished with Ruffin Boat, so maybe they feel a bit more confident on the side of G2 to actually fight them, should the hell be started off.
As long as there's not a form of like auto aim on MOBA controllers, we're good.
If I see S.R.I.E.L.S. fucking get three scripts on their fucking... on their rollers, hell nah.
Aim assist.
As we hold down A and it automatically less hits the nearest minion perfectly.
Okay, not turn ulti to try and save him, but then said now fuck that, tried to finish Herald, didn't get it.
Hang on a second.
We're 16 minutes into G2 vs Shifters, who bootcamped in a different continent to eat food.
down towards the hell and they're losing
and they don't have the numbers advantage to really contest
especially with caps and nuke now
his ability to TP up
easy objective secured and
can he to become a real problem on the side
hmm
and I don't really think that this is necessarily
broken blade fault per se
but I mean there's a world where perhaps
he could have been a little bit more considerate
G2 was in an international tournament
streaming the best teams in the world
and shifters were trying their nearest Korean BBQ places
and were even
Lock it in.
Wow, he really held that Q, huh? Wait, is that a kill? Oh my god, he died! What?!
Broke him behind him, but he's losing top tower now.
Into some spell flux, but how's broken they rocked up here?
They're gonna get bought through one for a second
So broken blade now hesitant to try and match in the top side given the strength of rooster in the side lane
So instead they all will commit numbers on the box side skew on ends of getting caught out. I
Can see his flash is available now. I wonder if his flash wasn't available during the play
I have to believe that it was though
is thinking back like he hasn't really burned that flash very often so just
choosing to hold on to the objective perhaps for the upcoming dragon fight
which could be starting very soon. Chat thinks they've come up with a good one
but it's just a bad one but they put lol next to it to make it look like a
good one. Some guy in chat saying repaired blade when Borker made a
mistake like it's that's terrible it's not that's not funny that has
That just doesn't work, a repaired blade, lol.
What?
Come on, say it, Chad.
Lol, that blade is functioning.
It's like, bro, how is- are we actually laughing at this?
Now, we're on European soil, who would win? The team with the gold lead or the team with dragons?
G2 pretty solid we have seen them in similar positions before though
They had big leads against giant X before they lost they were in fact at 20 minutes
I have a fucking good one trust me give me a shot go in your 10 seconds
It's not their laning phase that they have struggled with too much
It is the mid game decision-making as we see Trimby getting caught out by Han summer and the frog
Ooh, if he flashes he's just gonna die anyway
Was not ideal. Yeah, it was like Trimby has been roaming from mid to sides a lot, but it's been either lit
I mean I guess you did have the push in the top side, but five minutes I'm out that was actually
Of course it's a killer what he's still one shot right now you can make your joke
point where it's now very easy to kill Mininar, especially when you have the CC set up from
Bucada. Going with Merc treads and the magic resistance from the Null Magic Mantle is, sorry,
Negatron quote, my apologies, is not enough. It's just not enough. So, yes, he's the target,
but he's basically relying on his teammates now to be that carry, and hopefully he can
land some big ultimates for his team later on when we venture into the fight.
Yeah, it becomes utility now at this point, it's all about the CC and...
BB, more like CC you later, cause you're dead.
For the moment, Chictas are playing well through their winning lane. 1.5k gold lead for Rooster.
Hunsumer is a thousand gold ahead on this core key though, given some of these mobs.
The tower also has an extra kill over Piduck.
Item wise, relatively similar. There's a noon quiver and a longsword difference, but nothing too substantial.
Suddenly hun summer has yet to upgrade his boots where's productive go for the Ionian boots of lucidity at his upgrade
So it's a little bit of gold spent there from the doctor hun summer haven't invested in the yeezies
Shoes are available. How do we move on from that? I'm planning a bit cool to find the transition there
No converse new balance. You're saying a lot of words right now that I am
Hey, we had that put blocker squad to ship for a little bit. I thought you would red up, you know.
New balance clears all, by the way. New balance is so fucking meta.
I thought there was some sort of...
Great shoes. My new balance have been going for like three years.
My shoes are all not very clever. Let's be honest.
And the G2 have decided, okay, we've had enough of BBs.
Why is he saying Anke? Why is he saying Anke?
Go on, then. What's the fucking... What's the thing these days? What is it?
What is it?
What the fuck is it?
It's an S.S.C.
S.C.
What?
in a minute sign he should be able to get that level up but shifter's already
trying to be proactive with their vision control
Oh these are the BC ones that's in these
these are the BC on them a lot
and he looks to play safe I think shifter's approach here is good though
No this is the cloud that's on
That's on I thought it was BC on the shoot it's on
I'm gonna be fed into Rooster, who is now the key carry for shifters with Padaak and Nuke.
Not too far behind their lane opponents, they're definitely still in very good spots themselves.
Broke and Bank are gonna do what he can, but it's our advantage comfortably in shifters favor.
Probably highest level in the game as well at level 16.
With two players with a lot of ages.
That is pretty impressive that he's ahead of the last one.
What are we waiting for? We're waiting for this dragon to spawn.
Because G2 has three item Corki and a rise with his spike.
And it's time to click the strake because Ezreal doesn't have a Sturl item.
But Akali is quite OP, so let's see who carries. Corki or Akali? Fight!
Execution is important here. Mucana needs to somehow land on their front line and kill it.
Or he needs to land on the Corki. Who just flashed? Karma? He has redemption.
Can Akali kill Corki? That is the question right here. Because that's level 16 Akali.
mega gnar is off soon but that's third drake hello it's shifters
I think you should have ulted hanzo there but it's gonna work
did Akali just go in and get one shot
that's two, bb doesn't have mega, hanzo has a w back
q is gonna land, double stun, do you chase here though or do you go for the baron
All right, spare in time
Gonna contest this two before though
Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure if I want to contest that one. Yeah, you can have it or or
Hence
Cheeto when's the point where you get worried when it comes to G2
Because every spit they do some stupid shit they lose randomly and then they turn it around
How many times can they keep getting away with it?
Why is every good team running it
And you two can't really follow up once that initial pick has happened like well played this shit
Not running it played it patiently they found the targets and they execute well securing themselves not only their first dragon of the game
the bound to boot
Shift is now in a commanding position in the game
I can tell you why cuz I worked on the broadcast pushing the league is scripted
They're supposed to lose these games to increase the entertainment value to for now everything is just a massive fucking
This is like the WWE, the real professional actors.
The storyline, I stole the script, oh my god G2, they get first and finals, wow.
And now they're losing in Spring, oh my god, they're so bad.
Wait a minute, what's that at the end of the script?
World Champion is what?
He's going proto-belt and everyone's clapping, he skipped the actualizer, he went third item
proto-belt.
It's fly-quest is waiting for you to say something stupid, yeah they're like investigators with
their fucking magnifying glass in a dark room with like a mood light on watching the
the bottom side in the laning phase but i have to give credit to bucata and rooster being able to
come back from the early kill onto rooster and then get the akali in a position where really no
one can match him effectively in a side lane right now coals analysis with their final couple
of minion waves on this push 20 seconds left on the baron but they're looking to try and take
down another tier 2 out of it would leave inhibitor towers up up after the like mayonnaise bro mayonnaise
is the worst fucking invention on the planet actually fucking it's the thing
about mayonnaise it it's become a universal norm it's like a burger will
have mayonnaise on it they won't even say it but I'll have it on it how have
we done that how have we allowed it to like take over every sandwich in every
restaurant absolutely criminal
Hot take, sandwich shops and burger shops need to realize mayonnaise, it ruins the burger.
The meat is the sauce.
The meat and the cheese combined are the sauce.
Oh, the Trimby Flash.
Ah.
Oh, the Trimby Flash.
Is G2 back or not?
Oh my god, that timing from Broken Blade was crazy.
Instarized all down to the right.
What did I say at the start of the series?
Shifters play good for the first 15 minutes and then it's a question as to whether they'll just start playing bad.
How did they get caught?
It always happens bro, they always get leads and then they just throw
It's been like that for like 5 months
Hysterix, you're talking about Source takes bro, you need to refresh your at least 5 minutes behind
That was last year we were talking about that
So they go onto the court team, 7 screens away
And Akali can't match TP because of Nocturnal, so she keeps her Nocturnal this off
But she's crooked on the TP
That stun from Bibi was insane by the way
The fact that he got that off instantly before he could press a button is ridiculous
story of shift of split right you're you're up a few thousand going into the
20-25 minute mark and then you take a fight and it you just lose it actualize
it completed on captain see if he had it before that last fight and it's one of
those things as well we're like G2 as much as they slump as much as they make
mistakes like you can't just assume that it's a free win once you've got a
lead right they do just they've got smart players that are very aware
Oh, he actually could've... no.
It's another fight where the right of numbers is advantage.
Rewind and take that play back as he goes down two kills over to g2 shifters do have good defense
The facial storm will hold the line for now baron up in seven seconds
Oh
How about trying to hit the arcane ship the mystic shots in fact we can't land the Scumon just like went
They could have been doing Baron right now
I think there's a world they could have done Baron maybe, because it looked like they were clicking towards it.
And they could like Corky, W over wall, and maybe like mess with them a bit.
But yeah, they got Giga chunked after that.
It's just another fight, it's Sin with the other fight.
The fight happens, NARTPs, Akali TP's after the fight.
The fight happens, and Nivia's not there, and Nivia arrives after the fight.
It's just two places where Nocturne presses R on mid-wave, and G2 have five players, and shifters have four.
And the second G2 sees someone here, they're just gonna go here.
And it's both sides fault, this side can't walk up when he's on the tower.
And this guy needs to tell them to not walk up, so it's just...
I just proposed to my crush and I threw the phone away.
What do you mean you proposed to your crush?
Are you fucking way on about this?
See how I think?
The roof service is kind of cooked.
You need to go over it.
Rooster is kind of cooked here, he's go over...
Ooh, Skewmon's no flash by the way.
Some guys said I asked my crush for the water.
I'm so into it.
difference maker the calm was probably and maybe of no flash let's get that kill
but then you was able to create enough space between skumont and broken blade
but he could then get the glass cone to safety James been quiet yeah sure
she's been quiet but I guess it's playing it's playing rain support with so many
members of GG still alive they will end up losing that tower as you
highlighted the game sort of resets this neutral spot it's likely that
we're gonna be playing for soul soon look back at this again it's a very
Deep commitment, as we were talking about, Skiubon saying, hey, no flash on the inhibier, but the inhibier is able to get away to safety, good wall placement as well, and then Rooster arrives to the threat, and we're all going to play to get him away from the fight.
Get James on the north list, bro, get him on the Rakan, get him on the Alistar.
...reset with the boomerang. So they probably assumed the rest of the shifters were resetting at the same time.
That's impossible.
So it's a, hey, we've just got Nuke out by himself, everyone else is back in base. Didn't expect there to be four players.
What's Trimby so good and so bad at the same time?
I think Trimby on range support is really good. His lane is good
But then after lane I get the feeling sometimes the Trimby out of lane
He tries to do too much too fast at the same time
And then he ends up making mistakes
He's like panicking if bot needs help if top needs help he needs to work here. He's good there
Let the game come to him
Oh my god, his caps is right as well.
That's going down pretty sharpish.
I'm going to go down there as well.
I'm going to come from a corner a little bit.
New caps.
Lock it belting forward.
I made a new item there for a second.
It's gone.
The shift does a good power and take 5G2.
How have shifters ended up 2.2K done?
Oh my god, they're rushing top.
This Drake is used as well, by the way.
They don't care about the driving at all.
This is putting a lot of pressure on the shift.
They're constantly having to react to the straight is useless
They have great map awareness. They know how to put a good right on the end
Shift is having to make quick decisions in this situation and they're running the riff right now
They give themselves another tower. They're putting pressure on to top the wave clip with an idea will finally arrive
The dragon is secured, but I think she's happy with a Baron and a top-tier to
They'll take that trade right there now 3000 gold ahead caps at four items
Rocket belt for Stephanie via dust go crazy
Scumuns GA is half the way back on cooldown and even broken blade who is massively behind in this game is within 400 gold again of this Akali
Right, so the threat on a side lane of the Akali is it's not fully nullified
But it's much less scary than it was and the thing is regardless of the comp right even if I think shifters have a stronger comp
And it's hard for you to to play into they're not even beating them through team fighting anymore
They're playing better macro and that you know back in the day back when we were young
2017 it used to be said that back in the days when we're young 2017
Wasn't that yesterday?
It's when it will for shifters kind of actually is it's been able for viewers. She is coming up soon. They have so much damage
And you might think instead, oh you don't know, okay, you don't know.
What is dead shall never die, Betty.
What is dead shall never die, for real.
And Caps is right.
I saw a quote today.
It said, if you never take your shot, you'll die with a full mag.
I'm just worried a little bit for G2 on a Siege, that you have found her for the next minute,
but Siege is arding to an Anivia because of you have overstep crystallized apples.
And they also don't have the longest range.
Oh, that's poke though.
Yeah, Corky's poke is good, but his auto attacks aren't that long.
Straight fire. Did he just Q flash and fail again?
What was that engage? I'm so confused. It's like some kind of engage on the on the on the vine on the not with what?
Well, you might write the math battle.
You can stop now. You stop digging the shovel.
It's all good. I'll take over from here.
It's crazy that the game is just over.
They get engaged on twice with numbers of vintage and they just lose.
I feel like this is just shifters in a nutshell.
Oh my god, they're winning. Oh, they lost the fight.
Oh, they got caught. Oh, they're losing now?
Oh, they lost. What?
It's like get lead, throw lead, crash out, repeat.
They're literally the I'm fine meme. The I'm fine clip, that's them. After every game.
The game collapsed. It is synonymous with them in these days. The shifters tried to defend.
Schumann has a G-air. Hogan Wade has enough health to take down the Nexus.
Caps is hyped about that one. The crowd goes mild.
That mid lane throw was terrible from shifters. Such a huge mistake after being in such a fantastic position.
What a blunder G2 bounce back and they they don't know that's the joke there is no crowd here
Today, we'll be back with more action after this. All right deal deal deals
What I have to explain my joke sometimes I have to I have to say my joke some people just don't get it
This time we will just don't get it.
Skye's name is Ethan Sierra, and there's a Reddit post from 13 years ago from E Sierra

click the link why can't I oh it's in girl they blocked in girl in the UK
Ridiculous
Wow, that's crazy
Your camera moves, oh, yeah, dude
Well, 13 years later, Rumble is broken still, it's the only thing that checks out.
Everything else is kinda cooked.
The test still exists.
And thank you skumon for making us what you're talking about. I yapped about it. I crashed out about it
I'm gonna make a video about it. It'll be video in to move on
Okay, no, I will not calm down. I hate shifters because I keep feeling like I want to sell this team. I'm hyped for them
I believe in them. It's like being a fanatic fat. I can
Oh god, no!
You're gonna break down a little bit, okay?
I'm not gonna break down, let me break down something that happened in this game, okay?
Because earlier game...
You're gonna break it down later, huh?
One day, I just need someone to say, let me break it down and then just start dancing.
Okay, talking to Jack...
Like, that is gonna crack me up.
This shifter is getting winning lines against every team in the league.
They two-to-two killed both this game.
We've seen Rooster have fantastic Jays performances.
We've seen every single individual member do well.
Which team are you rooting for in the NBA playoffs?
Which one's the one that has Steven Curry on it?
I kind of fuck with Steven.
They're out?
Used to being in winning situation usually it's hard to snowball those leads and this advantage you get but for me
It's more carelessness
Nicola Josh Josh it's Josh it's
Isn't that guy on the fucking
The Lakers break time. It's like a nametab you going up and down up and down up and down the gold was swinging constant at this game
And I'm not sure if it is as you say carelessness
Hubris it's difficult to know where exactly shifters goes wrong because the early games are not bad
Oh that's Donchich. Wait, who's Jochich? Is he good or what?
Someone said something about nuggets. I was like what?
They're called the Denver Nuggets. Why do they call themselves after chicken nuggets?
they called the Denver Nuggets. Why are they called? The Denver Nuggets are named in honor
of the 19th century mining boom in Colorado in the Pike Peak Gold Rush. Oh, it's from
Golden Nuggets. I was thinking of the chicken.
in this roster just seems to be very lacking. I feel like this game just, they had it in their
hands but it just slipped out like sand. But I actually would like to talk a little bit about
that early game. Yeah, because we had one crash out of our shifters. I do want to talk about
those early game mistakes from G2 because I've seen some individual things that should
never happen that would tilt a top 9 or even. So I was watching this game. What is this?
And I got deja vu. And then I was watching even more and then I got double deja vu.
There's a blue square, or cubed. I'm not sure. I don't know about it.
Clearly, after the pre-show.
I want to break down something that happened a little bit in the early game,
because we had some interesting moments here by BBs.
I want to bring you the first slip here.
So, shifters, they're giving the dragon both sides.
They're deciding, okay, the dragon, not for us.
So, I don't have any camp stop side.
I'm just gonna sit here and camp BB.
So, good play by shifters.
BBs pushing a wave, and just gets went on by rooster and buccata.
And it's a clean kill.
This is a mistake that anyone could make, right?
It can happen, it can happen.
Hold on one sec.
BB, it happened to me many times.
So, another creeper.
Gigi's doing an objective and BB decides to push away
and you see her, Bukata's actually slacking into this bush
and once again, BB is pushing away, Nocturne is doing the objective
and BB dies.
It's a mistake, it can happen.
It happened to me many times.
Is there another replay?
Oh, here, yeah, again.
It can happen.
So, here we see again, it's another play.
Gigi's trying to set up topside here, there's a nocturne going for the Herald, Bibi's pushing out a wave, and he gets ganked by Roostrembucada, and I missed a little clip sneak for itself.
He does. I mean, it can happen, it can happen to anyone.
It should not.
Shame on you.
Shame on me.
Shame on me?
Shame on me.
So yeah, it was a bit of a silly ordeal.
I think BB maybe did not really respect the jungle as much as it should have that game.
And it was honestly a good early game by shifters.
This Akali was up 1.7k gold at one point.
It looked like she was going to carry the game.
But once again, when it comes to shifters, it doesn't matter how nice your walls are,
your ceiling, your little furniture, your little super sofa, like if the house is
built on weird foundation, it will collapse.
You talk about Digivoof in and just to give some insight to the viewer, as an analyst we
try to prepare what we want to talk about for a game, right?
And there have been multiple times now where I'm watching a shifters game, I'm preparing
for the shifters when, what do I want to talk about, how do I want to hype them up,
and then they just find the way to throw it.
And that for me is the number one thing that they need to work on.
Oh my god, I'm muted.
Fix their macro, put all the players together, same plan, same fights, and then you
can actually win a game when you have huge lane leads which as you said rooster 1.7k gold bot lane 2v2 kill
They have the pieces just put them together
If you don't do it for the win shifters do it for this guy. He is at his utmost
limits, let's send over for game 2
D D D I put it up. I don't even think doing it for Jackspect will be enough
I'm gonna be honest this team so often gets four 10 days at the 20-minute mark and then just throws
There's there's something in the water in the shifter's house that is leading to this could be lesion moniasis
Could be gaudia. This is real
Yeah, I don't think any of those quite legitimate medical conditions are leading to this
I think that it's more to do with communication and coordination
I do feel that this team is just not on the same page
And yes, sometimes I think they get a little over eager and I think that the problem shift is now faced is that regardless of what
was stronger or weaker
G2 now get another opportunity. They get to run it back and they get to learn from
Wicked for it in game one and then G2 just kind of clapped back in game two
What is that champ? What champ is that?
game to how G2 will answer we're gonna be jumping straight into draft it is G2
the kaiser yeah the shifters deciding they want second pick again they'll be
on the red side and we will see
sidebarous again from G2 no surprises as of yet
are you singing along some music there?
yeah it is catchy
so expect me to just call it quits not likely going for the top of the sun
that won't stop me from missing this out
normally they're even first picked
if you ban the ash here then you know it just becomes mega heavy prior
rpl love first picking the lulu instead because they'll argue that like
Well, if you don't have something good to pair alongside the UNR, then it's just not as scary.
That makes sense.
Whereas there are still a lot of good AD carries you can pair alongside the Lulu.
Like Kaylen, for example, you can pick Kaisa, I don't think it's the best lane.
You can pull all sorts of things with the Lulu.
So, generally the Lulu first pick, I think, makes a ton of sense.
And, yeah, honestly, there's not a lot you can answer into.
We did see the Lucian Melio be successful, right?
For Navi, so maybe, maybe that's the answer to Lulu now.
Maybe, maybe that buff was all Lucian needed.
Jack Spectre would tell you so.
Well, I do find that quite comical, because I was literally a week before telling Jack they need some evolution, and he said, and I quote...
Okay, G2 is first picking Rumble.
So, so...
Quite the hypocrite we have on our hands.
No, no, no, no, no, because he's saying the buff was a big deal.
And so you can say he doesn't need a buff, and the buff can still be a big deal.
Actual fraud, man.
Why is Roya now?
I've worked with...
You can't defend himself.
They dropped the rumble
First pick the Lulu for the Yunara
There's one in a trap called Cato Feepley's archivary asment deal.
Okay, Pantheon won, like that.
Azir probably doesn't really exist though.
LCK still kind of likes Azir.
Do you take away Unara here?
You could play Unara Bard into like something.
But I think Bard Pantheon is completely winning.
I like Barad-Pentium.
Niko.
I mean, they can play like, Jin Niko here.
And then there'll be like, Yunara, what, Sin?
Or Sin's Ben?
U-Kong's kinda hard to play.
Uhh...
Charvin's out since I was out. I don't actually know what he's gonna play.
Yeah, Wukong, but it's not that easy, is it?
Big shock.
Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.
I will say, you know I hasn't done that well in the LEC.
You saw it pop up on the screen there, 5 and 14 across the LEC so far, the splits.
Yeah.
I mean, I still think it's really good.
I mean, it's not LCK on best-of levels, but...
that I don't think you know in isolation is that OP I think it's the combination of you know
a loo that makes us strong that's usually why you see it picked later in drafts once things like
edgy or london's barris and passion all the other okay I mean they can bend
like scion casante here I don't know if they're gonna ban yorick because I don't even know if he
plays yorick but they're probably losing gin and kaisa rooster is just a good which is fine
if there's a third ad carry that they have which I presume is like what I don't
know I don't know if I like Ash Nico that sounds kind of ash
Kate Gin, Kaisa, someone says Padak Kaisa aware is he a bad Kaisa or what
game coordination as we get into the game. It doesn't really fit anyway. There's the
sound then. There's the cajun then. So there's Jin, Kaisa and there's Kasante, Yorick. I think
PB should play Yorick. They're 1-0 against shifter so I'm not sure she Brexit. Yasuo into
Jayce Pantheon sounds horrendous. I think that BB would want to pick a tank here, right?
It's Jayce in their Pantheon. He would want to play Sion, Malfight, Cassanti.
The matchup into Jayce is basically Yorick, you really are a pro, I would guess.
pick it today absolutely but I think Aurelia is just a bad champ it pro-played
maybe it's what BB needs I've been struggling in the lane very well Aurora is
kind of broken right now with these pins
early outscales later there's Camille like they deliberately really tried to
nerf Camille
also they'll have two double flex to the Aurora on four here just feels
because you can easily pick AD.
Okay, Kaisa.
Yeah, I think it's time for Cassante or Yorick from Bibi and Caps. I think Aurora is a great denial pick.
I'm getting too excited by these picks. Aurora is gonna be locked. And uh, yep.
I think we all saw that one coming.
And then I guess you could just go like, I don't know, R.I.? I think TF is really good here personally.
TF Pantheon with Jayce Kaisa.
Okay.
Well, you know, I thought for a while that he would go R.I. or Azir.
I see your chat. I'm gonna add to him what adds you to T1, R2, 5, and a half, stop the channel for don't be back to the game, stop the gist.
Alright, I'm gonna add to him. I'll see you in a sec.
Oh, is he going Cillian?
Taliyah!
Well, that's a global.
And it partners well with Pentium.
But I do trust in caps to find that angle and to make sure that when he lands that EQ with the electric Q proc, it's gonna have impact.
So we'll see how much impact he's able to have. The main damage dealers throughout this game
We're gonna be Han, Summer, and Skumon for G2 with a lot of that utility and support coming through from the Lulu.
And Kasante, I think that G2's just team finding is a little bit stronger overall just because Skumon's engage is pretty reliable.
I mean, you have the support of the Lulu as well. It can really tank up and be very durable.
In contrast to shifters, they've got a ton of poke on their side.
you'll find yourself having to throw an extra Q and like that extra delay can have an impact and he's
like it just feels different and you can really feel it so which is why a lot of pros have just
kind of moved away from the Taliyah. Yeah, compared to how high priority she was earlier. But for Nuke,
it is the only she could be. How good is Kapsura? He's pretty good at the right thing.
The Ezreal karma fail in game one. True. Can Nuke's Taliyah be what brings
shifters their second win? To be honest, mate, I don't think it's the picks. I don't
read it like their ability to get early leads has been completely fine. Yeah and they'll probably
get them again this game because they have they have lanes that will get prior. I mean Pantheon's
got a ton of lanes to play around. Top lane especially. I do think Nuke should have pushed
early into Aurora. Aurora is generally considered a lane bully but when the champion like Taliyah can
just press Q on the waves I don't think it's going to be as bad. I mean we'll see.
Top lane should kind of suck a little bit early for broken blades and then bot lane...
Well, shifters have all of the productivity on the planet, so will they do something with
their productivity or will they sit there and lose the game?
Because they will get outscaled if they don't play the game.
So just way more annoying early and kaisa just can't approach so niko could probably hit them
But then the kaisa probably won't be able to without taking a ton of damage and exchange right
Let's see how much poke Trimby can get down in that lane.
Han Solo had a really good game, one overall didn't really get to talk about him a huge amount but on the Corki he was quite solid to damage, 40% of his team's total damage, which is a number you sometimes see on ADC, but it's still impressive.
Yeah, I mean 923 damage per minute is very good.
It's Korean Jace, so it is legal.
He killed in the bot lane 2 vs 2, he did bounce back nicely and yeah I think overall he's having a very solid split, I think that's usually the case with regular season Han Solo.
She's never really the superstar
After very consistent a consistent part for the team that they can offer
Okay, so the problem for scheme on
Well, our standards for him work very high for first and like there was conversation
Just streaming and you see the last week's been pure cancer
So when you then come back and have the forces like we've seen from him this play
I would say it's like an underperformance based on the expectations that we had of it.
I agree with that. I think G2 have underperformed based on the expectations we have of it.
Yeah, yeah.
Just from what's going on, some of the chat comments are crazy.
People are so annoying.
People are so similar thing with KC last spring, right?
Like they got the finals of first hand and then didn't really see them really perform to the same degree going into spring.
I've had hangers. I've never had one that's lasted four weeks.
I'm just putting it out there.
At some point you gotta stop like how dare fleshy miss all those skill shots on the screen in front of me disturbing fleshy
What are you doing?
Probably G2 loses this flip right?
Oh my god, they all flashed on hook on and didn't layer the CC so they lose. Caps missed his flash Q
Bro, I feel like they're so favorite in that fight and they trolled it.
Trimby's e-flashing on Niko with like a half a second route.
Taliyah's too far.
The E-flash on Niko, if it hits Lulu it's good, but Labrov heals and runs out of it, and then it's moving.
Man, now it's moving.
It's hot, it's hot.
Ooh. Well that is interesting. So I can tell you that Labrov is the one that paused it.
When we have more information I will share with you.
But yeah. You can see Labrov typing in the play again.
I have an expected issue there. But I'll wait for confirmation to share.
So. A good start for Jutu. Poor start over all four shifters.
You have to say is really they be looking for...
I'm winning that fight. I mean I don't know what more I can say.
is you say maybe the flat side in the shove, Nuke probably thinking the rock surfing would
have got him in range quickly enough with that extra ring of speed by the terrain, not quite
there in time.
Yeah, and they need to be a little bit worried about this just because I think one of the
biggest strengths of Shift as Comp is this Taliyah Pantheon, right?
It's a comma we've been seeing now for a few years at this point, right?
And the whole idea is Pantheon stuns means that you get a guaranteed knockback
from the Taliyah, you hit them into the unraveled earth, tons of damage, wow we get ourselves
a quick kill. Leveraging that strength is the most important part in the early game especially
and so when your early skirmish doesn't quite go your way and the enemy jungler gets that
kill, it just puts some of that early skirmishing in a slightly weaker state.
Yeah it does and I also think shifter's composition works so much better from ahead.
Like it's one of those comps where you can say that would drop a tail but if you're
a couple of k behind and broken blade is tanking up just to stand in front of your
poke damage it doesn't really matter like how do you actually kill people quickly when everyone
else is ahead of you in terms of itemization in terms of tankiness so we have had a report of
some potential network issues that are currently being investigated so hopefully nothing too major
it is Berlin
man like i'm so very uh i want to say during a pause i don't know okay um we are getting
getting glass five minutes, right man?
Nice internet quick internet exit, great.
We get our letter through our letter box
from the company saying, hey, we'll do it on the 20th.
Cool, okay, we'll be in from 8am.
Is that not today?
It's 6pm on the 20th, it is today, I say, yeah.
I go downstairs and I see the guys doing all the stuff.
I was like, oh, I'm gonna do a reducer tomorrow,
bro, I'm thinking of doing a reducer right now.
And we get through the conversation and he's just
like, which side of the building are you on,
Rex, you know, I'm on the right side.
And he points to the note in the notice board downstairs.
And it just says left side of the building, 20th.
Right side of the building, 21st.
And so my wife and I, we've waited in
for the internet to get in.
And we got a letter that specifically said the 20th.
And it's like, no, afraid you're on the right side
of the building.
So I don't understand why the whole building,
they finished at two as well.
So they have four more hours in there.
I'm not, look, I am all forced,
dreading the workout over two days
if you're paid a day, right?
I'm 100% for it.
This goes on till midnight
Bro, I don't know when it comes to any see this last week
Spark is fucking
There's an interesting topic about glass fiber, right?
Because I've been having people come around my apartment trying to sell me on glass fiber ages
But they keep trying to sell me on like will give you a hundred meg of glass fiber
And I'm like cool. I currently have
like one terabyte like I have like like you don't have a thousand gig that
one yeah that's a terabyte a thousand Meg is what you probably have you
probably you're right you're right you're right you're right I do scale the
duck too much yeah that is like I mean the pentagon
not quite not quite for Berlin no no no but like it's not glass fiber but like
I'm pretty sure, even at 500, they're down.
I'm a piece of it.
