you
A quick game? A quick game or what? A quick game? Tots? A quickie?
Chat.
I woke up last night. I woke up last night at 2 30 a.m. or 2 or 3 a.m.
I booted up the football. 60 minutes in.
Dr. Congo, one zero up against England. Oh, I'm kind of worried.
Within 15 minutes of each other, two goals, two goals within 15 minutes.
Harry Kane is the greatest English striker to ever touch a ball he is straight up
Harry Kane is is carrying England on his back like caps carries fucking Europe
No caps no win no Harry Kane knocked out in round of 32
Straight up
That guy is completely carrying these fucking bums. You know, they got a lock in. What are they doing?
What are they doing? They're fucking get their useless, bro
where's where's all these like where's all these fucking where's all these UK
lads that are good at football where they at where's Gerard and Frank Lampard
and fucking David Beckham where's where's Kyle Walker where's Ashley Cole
where all these fucking dons at all I see is Gordon Ramsey passing the ball to
Harry Kane to carry alone what is this that's it that's all we got
Bellingham's decent? Yeah, he's fucking... he's... he's... I don't watch enough Bellingham in domestic play, but internationally he's mid, I said it.
Mid at best.
Bro, where's Cole Palmer at? I feel like in the last Eurocouple, World Cup or whatever, Cole Palmer was Giga1v9.
Where's yet? Where's him and Phil Foden? Where's the midfielders at? Where are they? Yo
Phil Foden and and and Cole Palmer the tiki-takas were out of control, bro. I I
Know ball
Chat also there's one thing we're gonna talk about
And I have another another weird take but maybe maybe it's maybe it's me maybe I have another weird take
So PlayStation is stopping all hard physical discs. In 2020... I don't know
what year it is. They're stopping all physical discs. You'll never own a game.
From 2028 you'll never own a game. It's all digital, which is a fat L. But okay,
like what is happening to gaming? Okay, I don't know if I have like a weird take
on this but like for example at the games fest I saw that Steam game releases
are an all-time high like PC is fine well not fine but like you know they're
an all-time high console prices are going up physical discs are being removed
where made their games are being made at a record speed they're being released on
cool down games are being spam released but it feels empty as fuck well
Well, empty as fuck, some games are still baller, I don't know what to pick with.
It feels like there's more quantity but less quality.
Is it because the gaming industry just just just boomed so big that it's so so fucking
massive that it's just...
You only play League, Lil' Pup?
Okay, I don't only play League.
AI ramped up production, so game releases are coming out quicker.
That makes sense. I like a little bit of reasoning.
I don't think they'll revert this.
There's a lot of people complaining about this rightly, so...
Do you think they'll go back on it?
Nah.
It probably saves them so much money.
What even is this what even is what even is the shops of game now?
Can you even buy what are game shops even do it? They're just empty
The PC everyone's new to PC or everyone's new to PC
It'll be like a vinyl store niche old games true
Maybe I shouldn't have queued up, I kinda wanna talk about this a little bit more, but I've twitched support for some reason.
Microsoft and Nintendo will still sell copies?
Yeah, I guess.
Chat, I might feed this game. I didn't drink much co- I already had my coffee power spikes earlier in the day, I went shopping.
I went to you, I went to um, a couple shops and I bought some, some, some clothes.
Hurry up, hurry up
Master, it's time to fight
I bought two t-shirts and a pair of trousers
You're a blue beachy next to a fight, I give you much love
You say I have to doublelift, I said I, yeah
I'm against Shaco, it's my number one counter
I should have fought on one though, cuz he has a key.
what the fuck how peace yes well I told them
I told you I'm gonna feed.
Didn't you play the opposite side of the matchup?
Yeah, but when I played it, I exhausted level 1 and I ulted, but I didn't get a kill.
So then my game was cooked.
Like if you exhaust and you also level 1 you get a kill.
You're killing super hard.
Oops.
Why, this lethal tempo is completely broken.
I like you up so quick I should have like I should have like
I'm gonna go 0-10 in this game.
Shout to my jungler.
Sally's feeding.
The altar is wet
Playing League without conflict is like trying to start your car with no petrol
You know what I mean?
Double kill!
15?
I'm talking about how many kills we're gonna get later.
I'm a little strapped though, short and stealthed, here is my tank, I'm invisible.
thumbs up again do it do it thumbs up again do it do a thumbs up again do it
do it thumbs up again do it do it pussy
they're almost as bad as vals vals is the most popular in the ever since the game
that's pretty good did you pick them yet no I'm gonna do them on the
swim. How did Shackler even dank me? I warded. Did he just go in stealth? Well, Yasuo's gonna
have exhaust buffs. This is gonna be kind of awkward.
I'm a little Yasuo, I'll get sick, I have exhaust, and I will underfoot at the game.
I'm not sure if I can get a kill or not
and watch it go like bang bang bang bang bang well my CSS are than him so suck my fucking
fat fucking thing.
I need a jungler gank. I need a jungler.
I need a jungle roll gank.
yeah get him twitch he's killing right get fucked idiot
My cloth armor, yeah there, this chase is so boosted, which chase?
My mid laner is making eggs on toasts
Ooh, he has Kraken Slayer. I'm a big Kraken
Is he scripting or what?
Or am I not?
I couldn't even get a spell off.
Are you fucking kidding me?
What?
I should have killed him actually.
Who would just die?
I thought if I E him it's cool
Here comes my jungler, Pali Pali
Chat, would you say I'm feeding?
I'm hungry
I'm angry.
No meal, no win.
If I pop in and you start dying, you can't stop dying.
Pop it.
and he offers
he's just fucking stabbing my cheats
what's the counter play?
I guess I have to fight him to the death
I mean, I guess it could be worse, I could have 8 deaths.
I believe that we can win, I don't know what happens if Yasuo, like, lanes here and fucks
me.
Do you think it's worth, do you think it's worth, do you think it's worth?
Do you think it's worth to kill Sally like that?
No way you can just chase me down.
Oh my god, what is happening?
I'm fucking into the whole game.
Riot!
Sally's back! I don't know about you!
Why are you 2 and 8?
Because I'm giving a shout out to Barcelona
I
Hmm
Okay, you have to call Yasuo, you have to call Yasuo.
Yasuo, please help me, this Jace is 2 and 18, he's fucked my shit up, please, Yasuo, please help me.
I have a free agent that someone needs to help later.
and that hit the spot
I don't even know what to do
what the fuck
I'm here man
I'm here to kill you man
I kind of want to push this way about.
Well, I didn't expect Jerry to be here, but it's fine.
Did I get exhausted?
No, I didn't.
Oh, that's so slow.
Is it? It's ulti, I guess.
Hmm. I think winnable. No cap.
Well, maybe no longer winnable. Did I curse it or what?
Well, when you're a top laner and he starts feeding, it's hard to stop feeding.
Hmm, he's level 14 and he's kinda fed.
Maybe I die.
How is there three people both again how is there someone behind me
Maybe I should group it up a bit.
I went into the game too early.
I wanted to get about something, but now I can't get about it because I'm in game.
So now I'm angry and now I'm feeding.
Yo, this low-key is a 1k shutdown, by the way.
He pink, he's locked.
I mean, I think Anivia is feeding harder than me.
I know I have double her deaths, but I've got double the impact for real.
Someone fed Yasuo though. I did not take any responsibility for that.
They might be on Baron.
I need to have a smack too.
Well, this Gwen is just clicking forwards.
They might go Baron when we go Dragon. That would suck.
There's a Rakan behind us somewhere.
There's boxes everywhere.
There's a box in my fucking cheeks.
We got the drake though.
Hmm, we're scaling.
We're scaling into something.
I'm not quite put my finger on what yet, but something is scaling somewhere.
Oh, it's AD Twitch!
Bro, this low-key champ in mid lane is fucking broken, by the way.
It's just one-tapping everybody.
Bro, he's gonna want that me.
That's 1k for Sally.
power of Zeus I can feel it in my blood
I'm gonna sit in this bush, and I'm gonna exhaust you when you walk into it.
Ah!
Good job.
You played that very well.
40 seconds in the graveyard, really?
I'm in the graveyard for 40 seconds.
I'm gonna do it for 40 seconds, should I just open up duo lingo?
I'll give you time to think about what you've done, oh yeah I've done nothing, okay, I thought
about it, now I'm back to W.
Get that Freak.
Oh don't do it
Let's rock we fight the straight baby girl
Yes, sir, let's fucking ball
Well, we tried.
I feel like I was carrying that game.
I think I inted my lane so hard, but I feel like I was carrying the whole game in fights.
I'm serious.
Look, my team's damage. Sally's just fucking topping the charts.
Which team were you carrying? I mean, it's debatable. It's a debatable topic. It is a debatable topic.
Fuck, I want to lark a bit more about the game situation. I want to lark a bit longer, but I went straight into the game. That was my bad.
I feel like I need to do my daily ritual of checking out what's happening in the world.
My cat predicts MSI day 5 and day 6.
Alright, let's check.
Does this cat need to be yeeted?
Okay.
Cat has some brain cells.
Nice.
W cat.
Okay, yeet the fucker.
Just yeet him.
Send him back.
Send him back to where you're going from.
Because I swore.
Okay.
Okay, cat's kinda cooking on something here. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Okay.
Nah.
I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, I mean, your cat just hates Europe. Just say it.
Your cat just hates Europe. He hates Europeans.
He's fucking...
He hates Europeans.
What is this? Rat in a G2 video? Yeah. Oh yeah, I'm in a G2 video.
MSI is taking place in which I believe to be the...
Yo, that's a high quality.
... have pronounced it correctly. Now we have the Brazilian boys next to us.
Which is very nice. I really like them, so yeah.
That's a high quality camera.
Boys, we're here with the little rat, K-Dro himself.
Wow, look how tall I am!
Well, I've lost my height.
How's your Korean staying?
Korean solo queue is fucking disgusting.
My studio is an absolute hit of hell in Korea.
But it's kinda funny so I'm enjoying it.
That's not what you were abusing solo queue.
Jungle roll, I started off as mid and I had a 50% win rate.
Like 50 games and I got kinda depressed, so then I went jungle
and I started winning every game, and I wish I started in jungle.
It's now stuck in my VMA mask.
But I've been playing in 3.
Oh, I see you. Very disturbing solo queue champs, yeah.
Alright, are you going to...
What is on my t-shirt? What is all that shit?
Is that what I look like?
I often spill things on myself.
Vezion or no?
Yeah, I'm with Vezion in a couple weeks.
So it'll probably be like the final week of MSI, I'll probably be there.
I'll probably be there for the start, I think.
Okay.
You guys will be there, right?
At the end, the last two weeks.
We will be there.
Do you think we'll be gone away?
Yeah, of course.
What?
Ah, perfect.
Yeah, you're gonna win the whole tournament.
Alright, and the last question.
Kappa.
What's your favorite Korean dish?
That galbi I think?
My stomach's not feeling well.
It's got a good taste.
No, but that doesn't matter.
That galbi goes crazy.
Any last words here for the European fans?
Yo, don't forget to drop a subscribe and a like.
Don't forget to drop a comment on who you'd want to see next in these videos and shout
out to all the G2 boys for bringing it home for Europe.
Wow, what can I say?
Great interview from Sally.
Great interview.
Alright, let's fucking do the pickums or what?
Let's do the fucking pickums.
Let's do the pick-ums.
The knock-out stage pick-ums.
Here we go.
Knock-out stage pick-ums.
Wow!
You gotta predict the whole fucking bracket.
That is ridiculous.
Is that serious?
The whole fucking bracket?
Oh, it's hard.
It's hard, it's hard. Now, the way I'm going to do this pick-ums, because a lot of people
blame me for their pick-ums, they blame me. Okay, I didn't pick TL to win over KC. My bad,
my bad. Everything else was right, but I didn't pick TL to beat KC. So I'm going to give you
a caveat, and the way this is going to work is I'm going to tell you the series that are
very hard to predict, and the series that I think should be pretty easy to predict.
Now, we'll start with easy. This, if Team Seeker Wales beats Hammerlife, then the world is broken and I don't know what to even say out of my mouth anymore.
So, I think we're going to do this. I would say this one here, this, let me get my pen out, because I'm going to make sure your pickums are the best pickums ever, and I'm going to take no responsibility if they're the worst pickums ever.
This is literally a 90% win for HLE. Maybe more, maybe 95. If HLE lose that series then I will continue to hate, I will just fucking hate watching them for the rest of the year.
This is like a 95% chance you'll get that right.
The second series is probably the quote unquote easier one to predict is Lion vs. Furia.
Now, this is CBLOL1 vs LCS1, but Lyon should win that, I would say.
I wouldn't say it's super-favorite for Lyon, because Furia is currently 8-0 vs LCS teams,
but those LCS teams were C9 and Sentinels, so I think 0-5 there.
I think Lyon should win that series.
I think Inspired will run it, and that'll be their easy series win.
I would say Lyon here is probably 70%, maybe 70-30%.
If you're your win, I don't think it's a Giga upset, but it's quite surprising.
Alright, so that's the start of your pickings. Now gets the hard part, these two.
These are hard series to predict.
Very hard. Now T1 are often slow starters to tournaments.
However, they've already played 3 best of 5 in Plains.
when they go against BLG.
And G2 Top Esports, historically at MSI, G2 3-0ed them.
But that was in the lower bracket.
So G2 are the CEOs of lower bracket runs.
They're all best of five games.
Now these ones, I think, are a bit harder to predict.
I think it really depends on what you favor
and where you favor it.
I'm going to say T1 beats BLG.
I think if you put BLG, absolutely fine.
I think the one concern maybe I'll have for T1 is solo lanes, but I think they've had time to grow into the tournament, they've got pretty good meta read I would say, and BLG is probably the strongest team in the tournament next to HammerLife, but I have a feeling T1 is going to win, I have a feeling T1 is going to win, and they're going to go on to the next round and they'll probably beat Lyon as well.
I think T1 will probably get to round 3.
I think HLE is going to win against Siegfried Ziegler-Wels, this one I think is is is insanely hard.
If you go based on history, even though G2 beat Test 30 at MSI 24 or 25,
Test should win that series.
Now, I do think there will be a rematch in the lower bracket between Test and G2,
and I think G2 will be the one that wins that.
That's how I see it. IMO.
I think that the further test gets through the tournament, I think the worst they will play.
Call me crazy.
Then I think HLE will beat TES and HLE will beat T1 and go to the finals, and T1 will go to the lower bracket.
Then I think BLG will beat Furia, we'll have an LPL rematch, BLG will win, G2 will move on to face Lyon, G2 will win, it'll be BLG G2,
BLG will beat G2, T1 will then beat BLG and we'll get an HLE T1 finals, where I think HLE will win.
I think this is kind of where my brain is at.
You might think, wow, Sally, you're quite HLE, you're quite LCK biased.
I am quite LCK biased, I am.
I am quite LCK biased.
But I think that these pickums, we're talking pickums here, purely from pickums.
These pickums, IMO, are purely decided.
Your points for pickums will be purely decided on who's better, T1 or BLG.
Because if you get this right, you'll get all of these right.
And I think this is the hardest one to get right.
And similarly, like if BLG goes to the lower bracket, you know, and BLG goes to the finals,
like this is where you'll like really start farming points.
It's between the BLG or the T1 win.
That is really it.
You're actually just quite HLE biased.
Yeah, I am quite HLE biased.
Fuck, man, actually, do I trust HLE?
So okay, let me break it down in a little bit of an easier way.
The tournament favourites are HLE, BLG and T1.
These are the three tournament favourites.
My opinion is that G2 is a strong team.
I think that they are better than TES, but I think in the first round best of five you
will just lose, because they always just fucking lose in the first round.
Fuck, this is a hard Pickham's, man. This is a hard Pickham's.
I think the only two series I feel confident on are these. And then I think, I think, okay,
the best way for Pickham's to describe, I think these two series are probably, this
one for sure is more given. And I think that the winner of, I think HLE will beat the winner
of this, whoever you choose you to test, HLE should win that. And the BLGT1 winner,
whoever you choose, should beat Lyon. So, you know what I mean? So if you choose BLG,
you should choose BLG again. If you choose T1, you should choose T1 again. If you choose HLE,
which you should, you should choose HLE again. That's, I think, if you want to farm points.
Oh my god, who's going to choke at MSI? Who's going to choke? Who's not going to show up?
Billy Billy is hard to doubt at MSI. Historically, Billy Billy cooks at MSI.
Or not cooks, but they do pretty well at MSI.
I think Tess will win and they'll lose HL in the notice fall off, I think.
Fuck, do I think G2 is going to lose to Tess? I think G2 is a better team, but I just think round 1 and these...
If it was like lower bracket round 3, just G2 vs Tess, I think G2 would win, 100%.
So, anyway, I think my pickums, my topside pickums will look like this.
I'm pretty...
Fuck, man, I don't know, does G2 beat this?
Cream did some crazy things to caps last time they played against each other.
He did some unspeakable things.
I think I'm gonna choose G2.
And you know why?
Because I think Skewmon is gonna be fucking fired at this MSI.
I'm a fucking Skewmon believer.
Fuck it.
Yo, Skewmon is gonna cook this shit out of TN.
I'm convinced, by the way, I'm convinced.
If this was like older versions of G2, I would probably doubt, but I think Skumond is going
to cook.
I think Skumond is really at his peak now.
Skumond is...
Yeah, we're going to Skumond, fuck it.
We're going to Skumond.
And then Tess wins here, Tess wins here, and then BLG wins here, and then BLG fathers G2 in the lower bracket.
And then they own them, and then they own, and then we get...
I think no matter what we will get T1 BLG here, or T1 HL or BLG will be here.
G2 has an easier run if they lose round 1.
Yeah, but that's if you're coping to say to get further in the tournament.
If you're gonna win MSI, you gotta beat everyone.
It just do be like that.
You're gonna have to play the best eventually.
So it's not about easier run, easier run to what, the fourth? Fuck that.
The craziest thing about this whole pick-ups is BLG T1 is playing each other in round one, so that means no matter what, BLG or T1 is in lower bracket round one from day one onwards, which is the most mental thing ever.
Someone says what do you think of my pickums?
What the fuck?
You put G2 to beat T1 and HLE and then lose in the finals to T1?
What the fuck?
I think HLE has an easy run to hear, I didn't have a pretty easy run.
If HLE don't make it to hear, then that's disgusting.
That is like actually, I am a straight up say it, a generational choke if HLE don't make
it to hear.
I have G2 beat HLE, then fucking hell, slap my ass and call me fucking Billy.
We got some shit cooking in Europe here.
Um, G2 tests, G2 tests, yeah, I'm gonna go G2, fuck it, I'm gonna go G2, I think G2 are a better team, I'm just really scared of like round 1 G2, round 1 G2 is always kinda like...
Like even last MSI in planes, they almost fucking got knocked out by GAM and Furia, because they were so slow to start planes.
And I think that there are just slow starters.
Like last year, MSI G2 was fucking ass, let me have a look, MSI LOL2025.
Thank you.
my fucking PC blue screened again why does he keep blue screen
what is my why why is PC keep blue screen this like that's like not the
first time it's happened. Something's wrong with the BIOS. Now I should swap PC. Was I
cursing G2 too hard that they just had to like break my PC or what? Why does it give
blue screen. Okay hold up we'll be back wait I'm just reopening everything. I don't remember
where we were at. Sorry, I got hungry, someone says. Wait. Okay, we're back. Let me open
up voice me to. What did it say on the blue screen of death? I don't know. How is there
ads running when I just started the stream how does it make any sense how do
I see the system history what is it called
what is it called see the system history what is the thing you type in
event here that's it
Windows logs that's the thing right and then system
And then I look for the thing that says like error, right?
The computer has rebooted from a bug check.
Mini dump.
Oh, critical.
Here we go.
The system is rebooted while cleaning shutting down.
The error could be caused if the system stoppers one and crashed or lost power unexpectedly.
It's 41 kernel power.
It's Vanguard.
Wait, really?
Is Vanguard crashing the PC?
It's a BIOS issue.
Wait, let me text you one that maybe I need a new PC.
My PC has blue.
PC, Juseyo.
I know I had to blue screen during fucking MSI and shit, chat's gonna go, chat's gonna get really angry if that happens.
Alright, let's get back on track. Sorry about that PC blue screen. How do you say sorry
in Korean? How do you say sorry in Korean? Mihan.
Um, okay. Alright, so last MSI, like I was saying, G2 almost lost to Furia, and then they lost to BLG3O, and then they almost lost to GEM.
And then, in round 1, they got 3-0ed by Flyquest.
Oh, sorry. That was in the lower bracket. They got 3-1ed by GenG, and they got 3-0ed by Flyquest.
And they were out. Their MSI performance was fucking awful.
So this is last MSI. T1 again also slow starters, 3-2 vs CFO but then they blasted BLG. I can't
remember the games but it's a 3-0. And then this was a cinema MSI. These three series
were fucking cinema. This was also pretty cinema until they went like that Game 5 comp
that I think was like really weak or something. I can't remember what they did. But there's
happening in game five. Um...
Oh yeah, so they had base one.
Fuck me, man. The pickums, if someone gets 100% right in these pickums, then Jesus, take the wheel.
Because this is a hard pickums to predict. This is a really hard pickums to predict.
predict because it all it always on it always on who's better BLG or T1
because that'll decide so much of the pickings someone says look at my pick
So, you just hate Europe, basically.
I think I'm going to do T1-bits BLG, T1-bits Lion, T1-HLE, G2-bits TES, G2-LUSTA HLE, BLG-bits
BLG beats G2, Lion Tess is actually hard to call, I'll say Tess wins, BLG fathers.
The last time T1 played HLE it wasn't very pretty for T1, it was not pretty, owner got kinda gapped.
I'm gonna say something like T1 beats HLE and then BLG beats HLE and then BLG wins, maybe? Or something?
Nah, I don't know. Fuck, man.
Nah, I don't... I don't... Ah, fuck, man.
Ooooooh...
I was speaking to Poebelter today about MSI and I was like what do you think about MSI?
What are your thoughts in general?
And he's like, he said to me, I don't know man but I've just realized that you can never doubt T1 ever.
I don't know man, I think Paze and Keria for me are just...
They're doing things to me, you know?
They're doing things to me in my head that makes me think like fuck.
I feel like that bot lane might run this tournament.
Cause I was, the thing that's swinging me a lot on T1 is
their play-ins run is maybe making me just feel
more recency biased than I should.
Mainly because of every time they're in draft
and they dropped bot lane to 4-5,
which they can easily just drop bot to 4-5.
They had so many fucking bot lane matchups
that they were just ready to pull out.
They had like, they could go Lucian lane,
they could go Eunaura lane, they could go Cider lane,
they could go a fucking Mel lane,
They could go a Ziggs lane, they could go a Zyra Khan, they could go a Caitlyn lane, they could go Kalista, Renata, like this like freaked me out and I know that's something that they probably could have done before, but I think that something in me is really convinced that T1 is going to cook MSI this year.
Even though historically they don't really cook that hard, you know, like they haven't won MSI in God knows how long, but they always do get to the final slash top three.
So I think T1, BLG, HLE, just make sure whatever you do in your pick-ups, those three are the higher seeded teams.
Because 25 MSI, T1 made the finals and lost five games to Gen.G, which was like absolutely incredible levels of gameplay.
gameplay. The levels that these three teams showed ALTL and GenG were T1 and GenG were just unreal.
24 was the year that... well, having 24, that was on the BLG1 wasn't it or something?
That was on GenG1 against BLG.
This is where they went five games versus G2. G2 beat PSG. This was where they beat Tess in the
in the lower bracket, then they lost the T1 super hard.
GenG, BLG, T1 again, I think it's very safe to just put HVT1, BLG top three, it's so safe.
2023 was the
the LPL1 where JDG had the super team.
But again, top three, only, I mean, that actually, that MSI was so stacked, if you think about it.
GenG, BLG, JDG, and G2. And this was like when BLG was like growing into a strong team.
22 was the... I think 22 was the online finals, wasn't it?
For RNG and they won the finals.
That was the online and T1 was in person, 35 MS meme.
That's when MSI was a lot smaller.
And 21 was also RNG when it was not against DK, when DK went to med.
Yeah, I don't know, I think T1's team is cooking really hard this MSI.
I know it's only play-ins. Their game-tos did look quite shaky.
BLG's late games have been a bit weak, not weak, but they are bad late game.
And T1 is very good at finding angles to come back in games that they're behind in.
I think they're a very creative team and very difficult to close games out against.
Probably, I would say T1 has shown the most resilience in mid-to-late-game transitions on their behind regardless of these play-ins, even in domestically they were like that.
But it's just HLE would just roll over them from draft mainly. Like the HLE T1 series was draft and Kanavi.
But I think the drafting is already better for T1. Drafting was a pretty big issue for T1.
But again, I think Pickham's just make sure you have BLG T1 and HLE in this area and you'll be fine.
I think it's a really gamble. I think any of the three could win this tournament.
HLE and BLG are just massive solo lane teams, even though they don't play too much for topside.
They're just really heavy counter pick or carry-oriented style top, and T1 is super bot centric.
And I think with Grubbs being strong, winning bot and swapping, I think the Grubbs buff
is nice, swap bot top, they always do this even when Paisal's back in the day, playing
Kaiza in the early stages of the year, he just runs top.
I don't know, I'm kind of on the T1 train I think.
I think H&A will beat them here and then they will win in the finals.
But I am, and I will put my hands up and admit this, I am LCK and LEC biased.
So other people's tier lists, when they have LPL and all that stuff, they'll have BLG winning
if they're more NA-sided, that they might have Lyon winning against Tess, not sure.
But I'm pretty confident in this.
I'm pretty confident in this.
The only thing I'm not really confident on is this.
But I'm gonna put G2.
I think they can be better.
I think they are better, it's just, Europe has this issue of showing up sometimes, and it takes them a while to show up.
You're picking T1, so you don't get kicked out.
What?
Okay, this guy just has, you have basically the exact same, but you just put the G2 beats BLG, and then beats fucking top e-sports as well, which is that, like, I'm EU biased, but that is fucking crazy that they're gonna beat BLG.
You just have T1 losing to G2 and then fathering their way to win the tournament somehow, okay.
And then you have top eSports to win the tournament, which is the most mentally open ever seen.
I don't think TES will win the tournament because that means they have to get through BLG and HammerLife and T1.
I don't see that personally, but you never know.
Wait, I need to have a look at something.
What is he cooking?
He's been playing Vlad, Karpus and Thindra Bot.
Like actually like a decent round. He's not really winning on them.
But he's got four or five games of Thindra recently.
Vlad Bot, Seraphine Bot, Chalia Bot.
What is he like? Oh my god, he completely into his friends. His homies.
Yeah, I think I'm happy with those pickums.
I think I'm happy with this.
BLGBT's Furia, BLGBT's G2, BLGBT's TES, they make a nice lower bracket, they lose to T1
in like a 5 game series and they go to the finals and hopefully it's like a 5 game series
here as well.
They probably just 3-0 TES, they probably just 3-0 G2, they probably just 3-0 Furia
and just blast everyone here.
This might be like a 3-1 or something.
This might be like a 3-1, 3-2, that would close.
Well, the thing is, pickums are just fucked on day one, because BLG plays T1 on day one.
I guess the one thing I'm robbed of here is BLG vs. HLE.
Wait, they're on day two?
Wait, really?
Did they change the schedule?
Oh yeah, they're on day two.
Oh, it's you to test.
Oh nice.
Oh, this scheduling is good.
This is good for NA fans.
This is good for EU fans.
Oh, the scheduling is really nice, actually.
Yeah, BLG is on the golden road right now.
BLG is on the golden road.
How are your pickums doing?
My pickums are okay.
My play-ins were fine, but I just put KC to be T-Law, which was obviously a mistake.
That was kind of stupid.
I guess I was just stupid there.
Not gonna lie though, after day two or three
of watching TL play until here,
I would have swapped to TL to win the series
if I could change my pick-ups, but I can't.
And that's like a...
But I think there was two people who did it
and Mid-Beast was one of them.
Mid-Beast predicted TL to win, but he's in TL.
So I feel like he's a part of Team Liquid.
So I feel like, yo, he's kind of...
All right, yeah, that's my pick-ups.
I'm happy with that.
I'm sure a lot of people have a lot of different iterations.
This is gonna be a very hard bracket to predict,
but yeah, just make sure you have BLGT1 and HLE
in your top three somewhere.
How do I see the community?
Cause there is a community going on right now.
How do I see my community?
Here we go.
Wait, a lot of you...
Wait, a lot of people in the community...
Are you just Casey Hayes watchers or what?
How does so much of the community have...
What the fuck?
I'm 83rd in my own community.
What?
That's the first place person in my community?
Yeah, this looks very reasonable.
mentally ill
That is the most mentally ill thing I've ever seen in my life. I'm EU bias, but that's crazy
Good luck good luck in your pick-ums good luck good luck to everyone seriously
This is a hard one to guess. What do you get actually before we before we stop talking about pick-ums?
What do you get for winning the pick-ums?
What the fuck what the
You get a fucking emote?
What the...
Top 25% is in emote and perfect is...
Jin's skin.
Okay, I don't think anyone's gonna have perfect pickums as MSI. Call me nuts.
Wait, this perfect pickums. Is this...
Is this on knockout predictions only or is this on crystal ball as well?
It's on everything. No one's gonna have perfect pickings. Nope. Impossible.
No one's gonna have perfect pickings. My crystal ball is cooked. Well, it's not full cooked.
Some of my crystal ball is cooked. Well, some of them are still to be decided,
but some of them, my play-ins ones are kind of cooked. I got a few points.
Pays got highest KDA. That was a big win. Since I was stirred in most picks,
Which is not bad. I knew that there was gonna be a few champs. I didn't expect Renekton to be number one, not gonna lie.
Getting KC here was very stupid.
How did I win this? Wait, I got this right? I thought that there was a game with like 50-something kills.
I got this wrong, but it was T1 who won the first game.
I think KC was second.
Oh wait, this was kills from one team?
I thought this was total kills in a game.
This is from a single team?
Oh, okay, boom.
So I got first, first, third.
and then this one got wrong. Which is actually, I guess it's not bad.
The problem is I'm cooked on this. This is already cooked.
I don't know why I chose Callis for that. That was really stupid of me.
I thought he would play against like, DCG or TL and they'd have a game that goes like
50 minutes and he would just, it was a massive gamble.
Everything else is okay so far. I think Jarvan will become the lowest winner.
He's already on track. The problem is, this is going to be wrong because Camille is losing
a lot of games, even though she's carrying, which is really sad.
Ash top kills it's kind of cooked at the moment because not many teams are playing Ash
it hasn't really been played I think it's been played once I'm hoping that the main sage teams
pick it because right now it's quite low I think the highest right now is like I don't know what it is
but everything else I'm I think this one I'm cooked on as well casio bands need to happen more
So, highest win rate is barred right now, champion with the lowest win rate, Jarvan
is tied for lowest win rate, so I might get that.
Champion with the most kills is currently NAR, which is crazy.
Whoever put NAR, Renekton, Rumble is three top laners for the highest kills is ridiculous.
KCS in a single game is currently pays, Kallis is third so I might get something for that.
Highest KDA is pays, highest damage for a game is pays, I got pays as well there.
First Bloods, I have owner or pays, I can't remember.
I don't remember what I chose.
First Bloods, okay so I've got these ones that are right so far, which is good.
I think Plains is so skewed on some of these stats.
Most Elder Dragons is TL, but that'll change.
KC stirred and fasted this game, which is okay for me.
Team of the most unique champions, again, still to be decided.
Which team will get the least kills in a single game? I think DCG with 3 is probably going to take it.
Team of hasn't been picked yet. 68 champs, that'll go up a lot. There's only been 3-0s.
Highest number of kills in a single game was TL. Most champion ban is currently 5.
I think that'll change as well, though. There's 16 best of 5s to go, right? So a lot of these will change.
Alright, good luck in your thickens.
Apparently, the EWC groups have been announced, let's have a look.
There's been a draw in EWC.
Wait, let's have a look.
Someone's saying you need to check out the groups.
Let's see.
It's crazy, this happens straight after MSI.
Where are the groups?
How do I see them?
Someone link it.
Someone needs to link it, I can't see it there.
Someone read it?
Which read it?
Oh, this read it, I found it.
Group A, G2, anyone's legends, D plus Kia, Furia.
Group B, Team Seeker Wales, Gen G, KC Sentinels.
Group C, T1, BLG, GAM, Koi, Group D, HLE, Lyon, JDG, LOSS.
Pfft, Pfft.
T1, BLG, again?
So EU's in three, got three teams, right?
G2 vs FURIA, AL vs DK, TeamFree, Grills vs Sentinels, GenG vs KC,
BLG vs Mkoi, T1 vs GAM, HLE vs MIBR, LOSS and Lyon vs JDG.
Those are some pretty good matchups. I think BO1 or BO3.
BO1?
Oh, it says all BO1.
Wait, when it says all BO1, is it a BO1 single round Robin, I guess? They will have to play
each other.
one single round robin and then double a limb games bo3 okay and then it goes
and then it goes to somebody's time of the format i'll do a video on it probably but
oh here we go this hotel is a lot so each group has four teams elimination matches are bo3 so it's
gsl top two teams from each group go to the playoffs the playoffs is single elimination bracket
it best of three and the best of five grand finals. So this is the way it looks. You play
in your group, you win this, you go through. It's double limber, so it gets... Wait, is
there... So the lower bracket final is BO3. Is the upper bracket final BO3 as well? Is
like elimination and promotion is VO3? Okay, so it's all VO1s in round one, and then every
elimination and promotion is VO3. It's actually quite a... So elimination matches to VO1.
The animation is BOT3 sorry.
Funky. Funky, funky, funky.
How much do you get?
What the fuck? You get 90k for coming last?
600k for coming first, what is the prize pool 2 mil? Jesus, that's crazy.
Actually no you don't get 9k for coming last. It's 16 teams right? So you have to get through 4, 8, 12, 16, so you have to get to top 8.
What's the prize pool for the nations cup? I have no idea actually.
I'm excited for DK, man. I'm excited for DK.
Okay, what is this? Click this video and skip to 8.38.
In LCK, like when I'm talking about like when they play against top teams, obviously when
they play against bad teams, that was a different story. But the strength of T1 has been their
ability to come back in games, their ability to like make really good 5v5 decisions, like
clutch decisions when they get into the mid to late game. Like they were the team that
would be behind but then they would just like flip a Baron in your face and gain an advantage
from that. Now when do you think that quote was from? That was from two years ago. Some
Some things never change.
Some things never change, I guess.
Now they're just circus-pro-maxing.
Yeah.
Yeah
That was the LR playstyle copy paste
All right, the stream only going for another hour or two I got a
Got a nice dinner set up tonight, which is nice
With some homies, which would be quite nice to see some people
Got a couple more games in
This was a short stream right it's day off low key, but I kind of want to do the pick-ins content
Check the reddit.
Literally, Lil Bro doesn't want to get kicked out of T1 again.
Reminded to all KC never won against T1 and LR never lost to T1.
Okay, well, what the fuck are you even saying?
EWC group draws, yeah.
So top two girl groups, I would say G2DK,
DK, Genji, teams of your whales, BLGT1 and probably HLE JDG I guess. Or maybe actually
I think Lion can cook here. Maybe Lion can cook. JDG is actually not that bad though.
They have like HongQ, Genji Agala and shit like that. They might actually cook Lion.
DK is not beating AL. Yeah, of course they are.
Bro, if G2 doesn't get out of this group, I'm disappointed. Straight up.
If DK doesn't get out of this group, I'm also disappointed.
I think AL and JDG are good teams, but AL kind of like, I don't know, they kind of fell off a bit.
if all I'm saying is with worlds three months away two months away if they
can't take down AL we got a problem we got a problem this this tournament
could just expose how bad Europe is let's pretend emcoy is the least of my
worries them not getting out of this group with you on BLG great okay I'm
not surprised sure KC if they don't get out of the group with Sentinels and
Team Sugar whales that's the biggest one like this is like eyes on KC
tournament because if they rock up lose the team liquid and then they lose the
Sentinels or teams to your whales then we it's two months out from worlds bro
we need to pack it up and then for G2 I mean I think they should they should be
able to beat D plus or AL at least and Furia because if they can't beat any of
those three teams how the fuck are they gonna beat BLG T1 even JDG who's
probably going to make worlds, HLE, GenG, like I know they beat GenG at first hand but they need to
double down and prove because first hand is like so early in the year that oftentimes the first
hand results just don't replicate into the later on down the line. Like HLE won first hand and didn't
make MSI. Top eSports was like cooking at first hand but didn't make MSI. If you if you butch your
For first-hand I don't really care, but if you butcher like MSI and EWC to that level
then worlds is gonna be quite a scary place to compete.
Because you don't have much time to change shit.
If it's in fucking March then you're fine, but we're in July bro, we're in July going
into late July and EWC, we're going into August.
But there's so much happening, there's so much, I can't describe, there's so much
League of Legends.
It's literally MSI, right now, all the way until July 12th, then it's EWC 15th to 20th,
Then, it's fucking Kespa Cup with Disney, with all the LCK teams, playing for two weeks straight,
and there's a fucking LEC Roadshow or some shit coming, with all the LEC teams with Vitality,
G2, KC, Koi or whatever, all in Paris. This is all happening in the next 30 days.
And then, you go back to your regular seasons, and the regular seasons are really short.
They're gonna be quick, man. Fries group's gonna be over before you know it.
Legend group is gonna be over before you know it with DK getting the getting their revenge
Then you got fucking Asia games into worlds like the league calendar right now is
really stacked for international play and like in-person tournaments
Because I'm sure that Casper cups gonna be in person
The L the there's a T1 roadshow coming as well where they play against KT
I think or some shit or a Gen G one coming or HB. There's another LCK roadshow coming
with the Disney event, with the Paris Roadshow, with the fucking EWC in Paris,
they're gonna have to go to Paris, go back and come back again apparently.
There's so much stuff going down in the league world. It's actually insane.
Why do two people in my chat say plague or something?
Why do you want me to plague or something?
Ho ho ho ho ho!
That's aura!
It was not a mouth at angle.
Talk about IG, bro.
IG, to get to worlds, is gonna be a fucking mountain to climb.
My lord

I have 90 FPS in the lane.
People who say you can only see 30 FPS with your eyes, it's like the eyes work.
What do you mean? I can see
They patch people's eyes
There's no counter play there.
Hmm
There's no counter play I mean I mean I mean more with any of my values are to kick top

Yeah, my go.
Back to TP behind him.
How are you?
Chugle Chuchess
Good job! Yo chugle chuchess me das we like those
I don't like bitchin' Izig, Mr. Bootsy-Dust, don't like that.
I could actually kill them both if I played it like 1% more minimum.
1% more of a human being with blood and like a brain cell and I think I can kill them both.
I have GP. I think I should press it.
can you click there? he's doing drake then
I think it's gone.
Mama mama mama please help me
How how does that happen?
Everyone's getting rolled.
Well...
We did one.
We're all getting smoked here.
We're all getting a bit smoked.
Truggled Chuches, please.
Can I get a truggle? One truggle?
One chuggle.
That's a problem.
I like that even more than a trouble.
No, I don't want a gold.
Should we call that worth?
I need to get a full tier too.
I think we just call that worth.
He might all be dead soon, but I hope not.
What the fuck?
That was a crazy charm.
I think I got a little BT, folks.
Well soul is spawning and I don't have TP.
I will run there quick.
I think the game decided on soul so I guess I just take my Vemceptor and hope it shows.
It took me on Baron, right now, and now it's Suck-a-Lots.
What happened?
Is that it?
The game's over?
What the fuck is this?
I'm just gonna die.
I'll just go in and die.
Time to go in and die.
