you
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum!
Bum bum bum!
Now you might be wondering, Kajal, you said you were gonna be in the venue.
How exciting! I can't wait to see you in the venue!
Oh
He's not in the venue
I'm at home. I'm at the D1 office. I don't know if I'll be in the venue for the finals, buddy
I don't know if I'll be there
There's been a few problems. So, uh, yeah a few a few a few problems. So I'm staying here for now
But on the on the bright side that means we can play some Arab mayhem and
and we can we can chill and also we can fucking hear on Tara screaming for T1 or we're screaming for G2
yeah we were gonna go but some things happened so now we're not gonna go
for now, maybe it changes but then if it changes then then then we'll go
but yeah for now we're chilling
for now we're chilling here, which is not a bad thing
alright in other news
what the fuck is happening in that football game
it's funny because now actually just on the topic i was homeless before three years ago because
it didn't because t1 was like you know you gotta get out but now i'm no longer homeless because
of t1 they were like yeah you can come back they were like yeah you can come back
um all right what happened in this football game bro every i woke up this morning and everyone
saying Robbed Robbed Robbed Robbed Robbed Robbed it's rigged this fuck
our chat can we be can we be can we be it was a fair game was it I think the
thing that I saw that looked unfair was the goal right that's the big drama that
goal that Egypt scored that was fucking insane but they got taken away it was a
It was a foul in the slow-mo because he stepped on his foot, but someone said that if the foul isn't called before the ball is in the other half, then you can't rewind it or some shit.
Is that like a rule?
Not true? Okay. Well, then it's bullshit.
Well, then it's bullshit.
I will say I will say I don't I don't believe in the whole like I
Feel like it's hard to get bought into the idea that there's like
Five referees conspiracy theory being biased to Argentina
However, the last like four matches they've played there is some such a shit happening
There is some crazy such a shit happening
Because the same thing that happened to Egypt happened to Cape Verde, where the player was fouled in the enemy box, clearly, but it wasn't called, and then Argentina just took the ball and fucking ran with it.
They didn't score, but Cape Verde had the same thing. Was it Cape Verde? It was Cape Verde, right?
The match officials for the FIFA World Cup 97 match have been appointed for France vs Morocco.
Referee Argentina. Assistance referee Argentina. Assistance referee 2 Argentina.
Fourth official Argentina. Reserve assistant referee Argentina.
Is this real? Am I getting...
I guess the drama here is because France is the opponent to Argentina.
I just, okay, okay, okay, okay, I feel like, okay, let me just, it's not fake.
This isn't fake because this is the official FIFA.
This is the official, like, FIFA Twitter account, I'm pretty sure.
Did no one sit there and like okay when when okay this is gonna sound like a
terrible comparison but when the person who decides who referees the game
zooms out and looks at the game is like hmm shouldn't get a cause drama that I
have like five Argentinian referees for a friend for a friend's game when they
They are the biggest rivals at the tournament for the last eight years, whatever.
It's like, bro, did you not ever like zoom out and think, fuck it, okay, I'll put in
one German referee, fuck it.
I'll put in one German, why not there?
I'll put in two German, and I'll put in a fucking, I'll put in something else.
It's like, all the referees for the Argentina game were French.
Really?
I don't wanna park in...
Argentina vs Egypt, France, France, France, Norway, Norway.
I don't understand.
Is there a conspiracy theory here or are they just good referees?
Just that I feel like there's so much like
rage bait and propaganda and fucking random dog shit happening on internet
like bro I open up my fucking reels one day and I'm getting clips about how messy
is like a horrible person and then I'm getting clips about how Ronaldo is the
best and then the next day I'm getting clips about how Ronaldo is this horrible
person and then I'm getting clips about how messy is the fucking best person ever
bro I feel like this shit flies at me every other day I don't know if you guys
of the same but like the last couple days I've been having horrible messy stuff
and we before that it was all Ronaldo stuff and how is this happening bro I'm
just sitting here getting fucking injected with all this with all this
I don't get it.
You made that algorithm? No, actually I didn't. I feel like I wasn't...
I feel like because of the World Cup, my algorithm is just more football for some reason.
I feel like I don't watch much football in my algorithms,
But since the World Cup started, my algorithm is just permanently being injected with the World Cup stuff.
It's insane.
Maybe dead internet theory is right. Maybe we are all under control.
Alright, I got some news. I got some news.
So, for context, I wear glasses and I wore the same pair of glasses for five years on stream.
Maybe you remember.
And I was kinda risky, because that pair of glasses, I only had one.
So if they ever broke, I didn't have a backup.
So for five years I didn't get glasses, and finally I bought glasses.
So I need your opinion, because I don't like them.
I feel, I'm wearing them now.
Bro, I don't know what it is, but I feel like they sit so high up on my face,
that I look like they actually emote. Do you see it?
Or does it look to say, does it look fine?
Looks fine. Okay, then I got a second pair of glasses and I went a bit out of the comfort zone here
So no lol's allowed. No lol's allowed. So normally I wear the normally and normally I wear the silver glasses
Normally I wear the silver so I went black and now I feel like I look like a teacher or some shit
I got a pair of black. I wasn't sure what it's like. I
I wasn't sure I feel like I look like it. I
Don't know if it suits me because I have black hair black eyebrows
I wear black and then a black and then a black pair of glasses. I don't know if it looks kind of
Kind of chopped, you know
It's fine really I wasn't sure I look like I'm ready for Hogwarts I feel like
So we'll definitely not wear the black on stream I think. At least this one looks a little bit less
like Hogwarts. Why didn't you go for a hot pink? How was the dinner with Untara? Oh that was actually
We had like a one-hour dinner, chill, it was great.
He like fed me food, I fed him food, it was a whole scene.
Are the glasses cheaper in Korea than the UK?
Oh my god, I went into the shop for glasses and I shit you not.
The frames that you could buy, you could buy frames for £6.
It's insane, it's so much cheaper.
I feel like the barrier for entry for UK glasses is at least like 70 to 80 pounds a pair and then spec savers is like
You can buy one get one free or some shit bro in Korea
There the guy showed me he was like these ones are ten thousand one which is like six pounds these ones are twenty thousand one
Which is like eleven pounds these ones are thirty thousand one and the quality was pretty fucking good
The quality was pretty sick
I think the the cost in Korea is the lenses because the lenses the lowest price lens was about 20 20 pounds 20 euros 20 bucks
Which is still fucking cheap, but I guess that's where they like that's where they're there they're quote-unquote
Their money is I guess for them
So for like a if you get like a if you get like a six dollar frame and you get the cheapest lens
bro you're under 30 under 30 bucks for a pair of glasses that are actually pretty
decent
they have three versions of lenses they have the three lenses they have they
have Korean lenses German lenses and Japanese lenses the Korean lenses are
clear and they have a little bit of blue light removal which is the cheapest one
the second cheapest is the Japanese lenses which is the same as the Korean
lenses they're clear but they have way more blue light prevention and then the
third level is the German lenses and the German lenses have like max blue light
removal and they have like a slight yellow tint but I tried them I felt like
I had like some gunners on Hellnarr it didn't look like from the outside that
you're wearing gunners they just look clear but when you put them on it looked
like you were wearing gunners and I can't do that all day like that that's
Let's go.
Why did Sabrina Carpenter unfollow you on Instagram?
I don't know, I stopped listening to her music and she got kind of mad.
Listen, I used to fucking vibe all the time with Espresso, but nah, it's kind of dog shit,
so I moved on.
Did you see Jordan Henderson broke his arm?
I did see that. What the fuck is this?
Caps, your 2019 matches are starting to feel like ancient history.
End quote, faker.
Okay, now faker didn't say that.
Faker didn't say that.
What are we saying?
Ancient history.
Hey!
Okay, where did he say that?
Yeah, the song is fucking ass, go next.
We need a good song.
Oh, this is such a good song.
Alright, there's quite a lot of things to talk about.
First thing is, come on England!
Jordan Henderson broke his arm for some reason.
trying to get over a wall.
Pace has taken mage bot a bit too seriously.
And now he's playing Echoedy carry.
He's, yeah, he's fucking, he's practicing some shit.
What else do we have in the news?
What is this?
We've got an interview with Chris Greeny about the future of the ecosystem and Lolli Sports.
Sorry for the flashbang.
There's a lot of news, man. There's a lot of news.
Mordog left is leaving Riot Games as well.
My time at the Riot as a TFT and game designer has come to an end.
Just under 10 years and you're going to see those will be longer, but sometimes things change.
So he's Audi.
He's Audi, which is actually, I don't keep up with the TFT scene, but from my understanding, a lot of people like Mordog.
And he does a really good job, and he cares a lot about TFT.
But I wonder if, like, this is going to be bad for them.
We're...
Okay, couple questions for the head of Rolly Sports.
On Faker retiring, who isn't scared, he transcends the sport right now.
He's sat down with the Prime Minister and the President of Korea at last, Asian Games.
Conventional sports athletes lined up to take photos with Faker.
We're not prepared for Faker to retire and I don't know if we will ever be.
He is the Michael Jordan of eSports right now.
He hopes that Faker stays connected as an owner, coach, or a spokesman, spokesperson.
No one is an eSkipsing Faker and I don't know that anyone will sometime.
Yeah, the only way someone suppresses faker is if League stays around for like the next 50 years and you know how like you had Michael Jordan and then you had like the
Kobe Bryant and then you had
LeBron James, you know like it happens it happens it just takes a long time
It takes a long long time
So I think it probably won't I don't see League staying around for like 40 years
On the closed league model, it worked in 2017 by giving team stability in the ERL system
with a genuine success.
Half the current LEC team are former ERL teams who bought in the LEC.
Riot admits mistakes in the LCS though.
We reduced the league from 10 to 8 teams, then 2 more teams left.
Knowing what we know now, maybe we'd go back and change some of those decisions.
On a potential full reset, I don't think so, but there's a lot of room between where we
are now in a total nuclear reset of the ecosystem.
LEC roadtrip is an experiment, it's kind of irrational, I keep pushing.
Yeah, I think fans always want, and I get it, because I would like it too.
It's like, why don't we just fucking kill franchising?
And it's just like, you can't just kill franchising, it's there now, it can't go away, you can't just get rid of it, it's impossible.
There's too much money invested, it's impossible.
There's hundreds of millions invested in franchising across LEC, LCS, LCK, all that stuff.
You can't just get rid of it.
But there's probably creative ways you can go around it.
Like, you can make franchising teams have like a handicap or like a benefit in some brackets or you can have a guest team every now and then or some shit.
On the crowd calendar, the real issue is discoverability, not saturation. Riot pointed to third-party events like the Asia Invitational filling the gaps well.
What you're not watching is the number 4 LEC against the number 4 LCP. That stuff has a place for top players though.
Vacation windows have shrunk the window for actual vacation on pretty short
This is something I talk about a lot
The calendar right now is completely stacked for pro players if you're the if you're the best if you're top two in your region
You play 11 months out of 12 straight up
The thing that the thing that I think he's he's right there the thing that is missing that I think fans would love a lot is
if MSI
Had more teams or internationals had more teams or there was a separate event for the weaker teams
Because I can tell you for a fact
This bracket is like it's been a bit of an email
But if you throw in number three and four in a massive double-limb we talked about before you have DK there
You have Gen G there you have Koi there you have Vitality there you have C9 there you have fly quest there
You have WE there you have fucking bro
Bro, you have AL there.
If you have those teams there and I told you, tomorrow, guys, we got G2T1 today, tomorrow
we got KT vs WE, we got Koi vs C9 and we got FlyQuest vs DK tomorrow.
Bro, in best of fives, the C3 and the C4 best of fives are fucking hype for League Watchers,
you know?
That's giga hype for the OG League Watchers.
This is great, the 1-2, the 1-2, the 1-2, I get it.
But the 3-4s are some fucking fire games.
That's some slug-fest shit.
Like WE vs KT sounds mental, AL vs DK sounds mental, fucking Koi vs FlyQuest or C9.
I feel like that's lacking.
And if you get more teams that are C3, C4, it gives a bit more breathing room to the
top teams and not playing every second day.
Also I think that it will be way less skewed.
I know for a fact HLE was gonna stomp the shit out. Like, the first seeds from LEC and LCS were bound to get blasted.
But the seed 3, the seed 4s...
I don't know, you know. I think there's a chance they could cook. I think that's closer. Way closer than the seed 1 vs seed 1.
I see like a... I see like a Koi versus...
Maybe not Gen.G.
You know, like a...
I mean, there's something there. You know what I mean? There's something there.
Anyway, I think it's super exciting to have that.
On tier 2 lacking direction, the overall issue with tier 2 is that it's hard to attract money into that ecosystem.
Subsizing everything is neonser. Europe's ERL works. North America's promotion relegation hasn't.
Yeah, I think Europe's ERL isn't working anymore though. That shit needs some fucking fixing.
I think interest has declined a lot.
a lot. But it's true, there's no money in tier 2, like the money in tier 2 doesn't really
there. It's basically all in tier 1. Tier 2 just serves as a place for teams to invest
in young talents so that they can be benefited 5 years down the line so they can get some
good players.
Shabai is saying LR. Yeah, LR made really good money, but I feel like LR is a very unique situation that only lasted for a year and a half.
That was a very unique version of like a model of a team that works in Tier 2.
Why does franchising work in LCK?
Okay, LCK is its own thing. I feel like, and I've said this before, everyone has their
own perspective on how esports viewership works, okay? And my opinion of the root cause
of viewership stability and increase is competitive success. And maybe I'm biased, but from my
outlook the teams that are the best will get the most views in my opinion and I
don't know what it is I think the LCK winning world for the last three years
or four years has helped a lot obviously but like you know when you turn the LCK
on you'll get the best teams in the world the LPL I think the reason that
struggles is because the bridge to Western viewership just wasn't built as
well as the LCK was you know it's not like in the LPL we have I feel like the
The resources to tell stories and the resources to bridge Western viewers to the LPL is just significantly weaker than what the LCK had.
I know the LPL used to have something that kind of worked for them, but I feel like they never really had that international competitive success,
massive international storylines, massive bridge for Western viewers to connect the LPL to the fans.
Like the biggest bridge in the last four years is DUM, in my opinion, and DUM's gone now.
So that's even like the LPL bridge just keeps sinking.
Like you can look at every top five team in the LCK and you will know that there's players there or there players were there in peaks that were top of the world.
It's just the way it is.
And I think that's just attracts viewership in my opinion.
And that's why the LCK wins.
The LCK succeeds.
They have faker, they have zekka, they have chovy, they have all these fucking crazy junglers and top laners and ad carries
And it kind of checks that that kind of checks and tracks pretty well, I would say would like Europe
like
International success
Recently for Fnatic awful for G2 pretty fucking insane or like, you know, they're always there
So G2 is the most watched team I would say from my perspective
the the English speaking audience
When G2 plays by far the most use because of caps international success I
Say international success, but I feel like we're a one-team region and that's them
you know a
Lot of people are like you need to make more content you need to make more content just stream more have the player stream more make more YouTube videos
This shit is never gonna do well. The streams are never gonna get views and the YouTube videos are never gonna get views
Unless you're fucking good at the game. It's just the way it is. This is why I guess you could you could kind of pull it in with
Lost Routons like LR
The reason I think LR was successful was because the core root of LR was we are competitive
But we make content, but if you if you don't make content people will be less interested
But if we're not competitive, no one's gonna give a fuck after five months in my opinion.
I think if we were like losing in LR after like three months people would just like not give a fuck whatever.
So I think that I feel bad for some of the teams out there like in the LCS and the LEC.
They've got great content teams. They're pumping great content. They've got fucking media house production documentaries
But no one gives a fuck because they weren't good. You know what I mean?
I do think there's exceptions where player personality is so strong that it oozes through
the screen that whether they win or lose, you kind of feel for them and you're interested
in them.
But those are very, very like, you can't teach that, you can't just bring that out
of a player.
I think that just has to be a personality of a player.
But that's unique in and of itself.
Griffin is like, I feel like Griffin is a unique anything.
We need to win internationally so winning domestically excites people again. Just give me one EU vs NA international final.
Bro, spawn! Call me crazy. Call me crazy.
There's not enough EU vs NA. And you know that and I know that.
So, here's the deal. Summer regular season, top 4 LCS, top 4 LEC, 8 teams, double limb bracket, maybe you can make it 12th, massive double limb bracket in New York, top 4 go to Worlds, EURNA be damned.
That would be fucking cinema. The only problem with that that I acknowledge is that if the LEC went 4 teams and the LCS lost, or the LCS went 4 teams and the LCS lost,
The domestic viewership for that region would be fucking tanked.
So hopefully there's some kind of balance where it's like 2-2, you know, hopefully they're
like at least competitive with each other.
But you could definitely headshot one of the regions.
But then if they won the year after, you know, they could come back or some shit, you know.
I feel like that would be, that would be, that would be cinema.
But I don't think you can ever really do it because I think you just headshot one of
the regions.
I always said Riot should buy like eight team houses each region and cycle teams and make people move no matter what
Damn, you want it to be like a boarding school, huh?
One year, boom you're out
So yeah tier two for example back to tier two I think ERLs in Europe need a bit of a fix
I think they were great for like the last seven or eight years
But I definitely think it's but the the the the the the the league ecosystem a little bit is dropping
But I think tier 2 is you're definitely suffering a bit
The problem tier 2 has is like it's a starting ground
The big problem tier 2 has and I can speak from experience, but you can take like
Gallions for example or gentle mates or whatever or maybe probably gentle mates or galleons gentle mates comes in
Massive French fan base massive org tier 2. This is fucking hype. Let's play in tier 2 after a year or two
Okay, what the fuck are we doing in tier two? We're kind of stuck here. This is kind of boring. We're just losing money
Okay, let's get the fuck out of here. And the agenda is just left
Like it's cool for like six months, but there's nothing to do after six months, you know, if you're like really sweating
And that kind of hurts no upward mobility it hurts
like future aspirations
Which obviously isn't long a discussion because it breaks franchising, but yeah, I definitely think that's the problem with tier 2 in Europe at least.
But I think they should just combine all the fucking ERLs to be honest.
My take is just take the top four teams from every ERL, just stick them in a fucking massive ERL 20 team Champions League or whatever the fuck it's called.
Not Champions League, what's it called below the Premier League?
What's the thing below the Premier League called? It is a Champions League, right?
What if you allowed someone to sub a player out mid-game?
Part of that is like releasing a lion on stage to fight a player, it doesn't even necessarily
increase competition.
Coach comes, it's still being tested, yeah hell no, don't ever allow that.
Don't allow someone to sub in mid-game, no, no.
I'm kind of down. If LR ever came back and I saw Nehme like 8-0 on Syndra, I could sub
myself in and get MVP. That's a pretty good idea. That kind of works for me. Coachcom still
being tested. Coachcom would be funny. On the LCS decline, it's partly self-inflicted.
The LCS to LTA to LCS thing, I'll get Rosa online for it.
Big brands like TSM and CLG left, but the key insight is fans haven't stopped watching,
they've just stopped watching the LCS.
They're watching the LCK, they're watching the LPL, they're watching the LEC.
He wants out of this doom loop.
People have been saying the LCS is dead for the last five, six years and in those years
our viewership is going up.
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't say so much the LPL, but I think LCK, LEC for sure.
LPL is kind of, LPL still does pretty well.
There's still a lot of hardcore league fans who watch the LPL,
but I wouldn't say that fans have moved,
stopped watching LCS and then moved to LPL.
LPL hours are hard for any viewers.
LPL hours are the same as LCK hours, that's the problem.
LPL starts at the same time as LCK within an hour.
That's I think the issue for Western fans to watch the LPL.
It's because a lot of Western fans prefer watching the LCK.
I like I prefer watching the LCK.
Fans haven't stopped watching.
They've just stopped watching the LCS.
Yeah, the LCK LPL.
Yeah, I feel like I'm not as like
I've never thought about LCS fans to know if that's true or not, or if LCS fans are actually just watching other regions.
Because I don't even know what time the LCK and the LEC starts for LCS fans.
What I've noticed personally, from my kosherming perspective, is that domestic viewership for me is slightly down,
but international viewership is always strong.
In fact, I feel like more and more people are watching less domestic, but they still
watch internationals, always.
That's where people are going towards.
I'll watch the internationals, and I have time to watch at least the LCKLPL or whatever.
That I think is what I've noticed.
On our constant format changes, it's a balance between staying fresh and staying readable,
core MSI, Worlds formats haven't changed since 2023.
american baseball fan they've changed the pitching mound at pitch clocks but
that's part of the sport's man who's better
on twenty twenty seven being your change there's nothing coming in leagy
sports in twenty seven where you're going to flip a table and say why they
change everything we're definitely not even for that
close leagues in five years maybe global promotion relegation maybe
fearless drafts are here to stay probably
fearless drafts probably does the u.s. market concern you always unified
format long-term no optimistic run next five years yes incredibly
promotion relegation if they find a way to introduce it that'll be pretty fun
close the egg in here and fight league in five years probably with guest teams I
would presume
i think you just can't give him international's
basically i think that the way you fix your ship is western teams start fucking
win. If Team Liquid went to ASI and they like took down T1, went into the first round, took
out fucking Hummelife, people would shit their pants on the spot. The storylines, this is
the thing with storylines. You can, as a caster, as an analyst, as a streamer, as a fan, whatever
it is, you can set up a storyline.
X is the best player in the world.
That player goes to worlds, doesn't win worlds.
Store 9 doesn't stick.
So no one cares.
It's the same with the West.
G2 can finally beat Eastern teams.
They keep losing.
Or like, you know, I think they've done pretty well this year, but they haven't really had
that massive staple of like, other than the GenG 3.0.
Even though they 3-0 GenG, it still feels a bit like empty.
I don't know what it is.
Probably because it's first-hand.
I don't know what it is.
Like if they went to this MSI and they beat T1 and they beat BLG, I feel like that would
be insane.
But I feel like the problem we have now is we're a one-team region.
I guess there's a reason why like, LEC was so peak in 2019, it's because we were winning!
That's the thing I want. I want that second European team to be baller. Bro, when G2 and
Fnatic went to the international, now I could be wrong here because you might be a diehard
friend on one of the teams, but if Fnatic or G2 lost everyone was like okay fuck it
we still got Fnatic or G2 and you know G2 loses okay we still got Fnatic, Fnatic, they're
gonna cook, we still got Fnatic, we still got Hope. Now it just feels like everything
Rest on G2, all the pressure is on them, no expectations for any other team because we
know we're going to get shit on, but maybe there's that slight chance that G2 is just
going to peek.
The big thing is we need to do much better so that beating each other also doesn't degrade
the region.
What do you mean?
Like EUNA?
or domestic EUEU.
You're similar to T1 HQ.
Yeah, there's been a few issues.
Like on WBKC, they go lower and not TL go up.
True.
That's true.
I guess it's because everyone expected KC to win,
so everyone is shit on KC when they lost instead of being
like wow Team Liquid is good but KC I guess we're kind of running it not to
take away from the win for sure Team Liquid you guys deserve that win you
guys popped off but some players are getting some fucking shit
why are you not in the venue yeah we had some issues with the venue some
issues with the yeah we're gonna stay here for now maybe it changes there's a
chance that I cover all of them aside from here but there was a couple issues
so we we're gonna stay here in my little cage in my little cage
yeah I do think there's one thing that etches me and this guy kind of is right
But I feel like we've gotten to the point now, in my opinion, where LCK and LPL should
not be in play-ins.
Play-ins to me has always been wildcard regions and teams trying to make worlds to the main
event.
I feel like having LCK and LPL in play-ins, like last year it was T1 vs IG play-ins.
I feel like you either remove play-ins, or you rebrand slash rename that concept, because
having T1 IG in play-ins just doesn't sound right.
If it was called like the world's qualifying series, you know, or like the, I don't know,
some shit like that, whatever it is.
You can rebrand the fucker and I don't mind, you can have LCKNLPL in there.
They're telling me T1 might win the whole tournament and I'm playing them twice.
Yeah, you're playing them twice and you have to beat them to get through.
It's like, bro, I feel like play-ins are a chance for where the wildcard teams can shine against the weaker major regions, okay?
If you put DCG versus T1, bro, I can write you the game out in 30 seconds about exactly what's going to happen probably.
But if you put DCG against Koi, now it's better for the LCP, because they're not going to get shit on,
and they actually have a chance to prove themselves, but also there's pressure on the European team, or the LCS team,
because they could lose to the LCP, that's loosable.
So it's for the play-ins serves as a place for the best weaker teams to show themselves against the best kind of weaker teams.
Not the best weaker teams to show themselves against the best teams in the world.
That's for the main event, if they get there.
That's their chance.
I feel like the structuring can shift a little bit around in the world.
IMO.
What about top esports? Okay, top esports is an exception.
We don't talk about top esports.
Lowkey straight through to MSI killing minor regions. OC had more fans when we got to play Turkey, Brazil and Thailand.
Yeah, I agree with that. The only like problem with that I think that I saw at least is that...
And I mean this in the nicest way possible. I don't know how the word is without being a dick.
Like the OC fans and the LCP fans and the Turkish fans, all of them cared.
But all of the people were just kind of like...
Wake me up when the actual event starts.
That was the issue with Plains, I think, probably on the right side and like on the viewership
side.
It's like, Plains is like a week and a half straight and no one wants to watch these games
other than the people who live in those regions.
But I guess that's the counter argument, that's kind of what the, that's what it's there
for, you know.
That's, it's like the appetizer to the main course.
If you structure it well enough, I think people would enjoy it.
But if it drags for like a week and a half and no one really cares about the teams because
It's not really their region or they're not really good teams then then people just tune out
But if it's like three days of just fucking fisting each other then maybe people enjoy it
I don't know you'd have to probably structure it well
Copy CS CS is so weird CS has like three stages of Swiss

Okay, I'm not gonna lie this thing where people like scream and throw their beer and shit
The first time it happened like throughout the last few years it felt like kind of normal now
Now it just feels like people are just doing it on purpose.
Now it just feels like everyone's going there to buy a beer, drink half of it and just stand
there and wait.
This is the vibe I get.
Thanks so much for watching.
Whereas I feel like back in days it was funny, now it's just kind of...
All right.

Heal me up!
Do I buy blades?
I do, right?
Surely I buy blades.
So, why the flies aggro you?
You know what I mean?
Why can't they just fly around the room?
Why do they always fly in your face?
Because of carbon, Brian got no carbon.
to the salt on your skin help me
How did that not work?
What?
Chow which one?
I'm re-rolling all three.
I am so hard it's insane
Should I die for blades
Yo, let me stack Q's!
Guys, I'm gonna pull the trigger soon. Okay, I need you to follow up.
Ho ho, faker!
Now I'm trolling.
You got my hot seat running away!
Aram players only know I'm still on the tower.
What am I doing? It's my brain working!
Bro, Rengar and Aram is the most OB champ in that game.
What is this music?
Yeah, this is a classic. This is a classic. This should be like the walkouts for one of the NA teams.
What is good if you have a blade if you can't hit with it because this Alistar is angry Minotaur.
I'm one shot I'm one shot I missed when cage was actually good at games that's
bullshit you said that I'm never gonna games look at them ff in bro what is
What's wrong with them? Look at the kill score!
What the fuck is that damage?
I'm not hiding my KDA there you go okay heck yeah there you go now you can see it
YOW!
I'm not understanding, maybe it's the language barrier.
Why am I getting one shot on cooldown?
Bro, Arab mayhem, you spend more time in a gray screen than Baal's in a fucking Summoner's
risk game.
yeah yeah I should have played for Team UK I regret it I actually would carry
Team UK all the way to the finals I would have done it I actually really
I'm kind of feeling it. I'm kind of feeling it
Why do I have 23 assists on Yone? Something's gonna be bugged or?

He said low.
Bro, how is he alive?
My Q is... what the... am I playing Earth or what? I don't get it.
When I hit Q, I'm...
Oh my god.
Well now the question is, can I auto attack or not?
Yo, the rest of this is almost kinda, ah, where's the 1738? That's the best part.
I can't play the game. I actually can't play the game.
I need to be tanky.
If I'm tank yet, what the if I'm tanky I carry alone
No, no, no, oh this is a good song, but no, no
No, no
Like boys!
What's the counter play?

My R having a cast time actually hurts me.
Oh, my Q3, sorry.

Block block block some unblock some unblock

I apologize, this is not my level, this is early morning, in-ting.

Hello everybody and welcome to the 2026 mid-season Invitational, a warm welcome to all of you especially in the still-
Lion vs. Team Secret's Wales.
My name is Shox and I'm joined by Emily, Drakeus and...
I guess I'm, I gotta go, I gotta leave! I gotta leave!
I didn't mean you!
Do I get to stay in the US? I was gonna say, I wrote the blood countries!
We get leave, we'll just, do you want us to come back later?
Oh, yes, today is the day where the West could fall.
Could fall, but won't.
4th or 5th game in some of those series, maybe, maybe, but overall a crazy crazy tournament thus far, a lot of unexpected results.
Alright, I want to hear your takes from the bracket stage. What was your main takeaway, Emily?
Alright, we talked about this going into the tournament and I think it's absolutely helpful.
Oh yeah, by the way chat, MSI is on every day now until Sunday, until the end of the week.
If you look at the top teams, more specifically HLE and BLG in the way that they set the map
with Shun and Aon working together, and Kenobi and Delight, also T1 obviously with owner
and carryover.
Are you enjoying Korea?
I'm loving Korea, bro.
I'm excited to go home, though.
I think I get a bit homesick sometimes with this duo, especially if you are playing around
your solaners like HLE and BLG.
Why is it more important here than usual?
Because it's always very important.
Bro misses English food. No, I don't miss English food.
Yeah, I've seen Pazus solo queues in playing Echo AD carry. We got a problem.
HLE and BLG are uncontestable as top dogs.
I don't think anyone can take them down,
not just because of strong jungle support,
but I think the rate at which they're playing the game,
the pace they play the game at,
how comfortable that they are adapting on the fly,
just means that even T1, I don't think can take a best of us.
But they were so close to taking down BLG,
how can you say that?
Bro, look at that last game.
Owners feeding, they're throwing and baron.
That was a diabolical series, the drafts are questionable.
And they're clutch, I will give you their clutch,
But on paper, I will never favor them against BLGNH.
I will say, if anyone can close the gap, it's them.
Why aren't you in the venue?
There was some issues.
Is it because they won three world championships in a row?
Maybe.
And if issues fix, I'll go through the venue.
But if issues don't fix, we'll be here for the rest of the week.
I'm a little interested in your guys at T1.
It's all good. We're chilling here.
NA was better than EU.
I'm a little bit louder NA versus EU matchup.
What's that guy?
If lion wins and g2 wins we're gonna get another one, but if we don't get that and only one team shows up
I think it's safe to say that that team did better than my side. No
So why and makes it through and g2 does not lie in I mean
Was against yes, and if we beat the team the bts then it's kind of like yeah
Listen, I've sold us to RAS before.
This is the reason you don't do better against LPL and LCK,
because you are so zoned into.
How can we technically be better than if we just got one round further?
And that's exactly the reason!
It's not our fault we didn't get to play TES.
True.
Right?
I'm glad you said something,
because I was about to come in and do the exact same thing,
like, a technicality.
Like, I see you picked a very good cherry, Chad.
It might be the most correct cherry possible.
Bro, Lyon's gonna win, G2's gonna lose, and NA's gonna say, we got further at MSI than you did.
When the problem is, the seeding for MSI is just wrong.
Well, I can't say what I heard, so, okay, never mind.
Anyways, TSW, LionG2 vs T1 later will get to Dijon.
Let's do all of that, but let's start by talking about Team Secret Whales and how historic Jax their performance was.
The fact that they were able to be PLPL and have specified.
I mean, this is the thing, I do not want to discount what Team Secret Whales has done so far.
Oh, but you would discount T2, babykaz?
Yeah, for sure.
That's just how I'm rolling.
There's only ever happened twice that NA vs Vietnam in Vestor V. The most memorable one was actually 2017 MSI play and I remember that...
Lion, Team CRLs, must be their main event because G2 is gonna 3-0.
...against TSM and TSM actually had to have the reverse.
It was so rare that we even get Vietnam vs the LPL, they were able to take them down, which was incredible.
Yeah, I remember I was thinking about the performance against the LPL. You see the history there against the LCS, but it feels like the winds are changing, right?
It feels like we might be able to look back at some of those series and go that was a different era
This is a new Vietnamese team that is ready to take down the NA number one C
Exactly so what a classic. What a classic
It's becoming a superstar in front of their eyes and I want to give a shout out to right up on
Reddit because they summarized the story right he got caught up in everything that happened in VCS
Yep, and oh, yeah the VCS incident where everyone was caught win trading
He couldn't play anymore, let's say. He was absolved from everything. He hadn't done anything wrong.
He joined a team then in the second league. He came back. He actually wasn't the starter for this team.
He is the starter now in 2026. They went 0-6 at first stand. And now he's here, drawing all the attention to him with his fantastic performances.
That is crazy to think about, that we went through an entire league being investigated for win trading.
And how many people were found guilty?
32 players or people or staff were found guilty of wind trading
in the entire league.
32.
That's insane.
Like, can you believe that actually happened?
We're gonna investigate the entire region for wind trading.
We found 32 culprits.
It's like...
and then we have the box we're approaching when fucking
Nah, you runs it down to the best of five in a position. What if there was 32 now you snap engage from the set
So as we play this out, we see both TPs coming in the setup for this is going to be fun
What if there was 32 of them on to joy on great?
Pause it here
Deer is gonna get a really good steal from fun
Like I need to know the lore how many games did people play against each other where they're both trying to win trade and
They both bet on each other without knowing
Like I need to see that game
I want to watch it. I need any the game
He kind of has to back off and put a media watch it on to him Eddie and be a the entire time are
Completely safe his toe gets on to cream
I just thought this was such a great engage and they're set up for it was so thoughtful
Oh the top eSports incident
These kind of mid game teamfights were exactly their strength that we were talking about
Yeah, and I don't want to give a journey of room in the past. I'm just curious how the game looks when both teams try to lose
play style right, but I feel like
It that doesn't really for me say everything about how teams to grails have been playing
I think that's a bit reductive even to to what's the LEC to the Rift
Thanks to what pun can bring thanks to the way they're approaching these games. Look, I like the one punch man
I like focusing on him, but it is such a big team game
And the thing that you have it is so well Emily is they're reading the play they have no vision
But they have to just enough set up just enough setup to make that play possible. It's not a coin flip
It's a clean read on an opposing team that was the favorite coming into the series and just across the board
It feels like compared to initial tournament expectations
This team has really leveled up in individual positions. It's today's six-year-old
Nah, today's not a 6-0. Today's a 10-gamer.
That's my only point okay, but why is it close? Okay?
Berserker and inspired I think have been the consistent players for lion Berserker as a player as well
Really had a down year when he was in the LCK came back to North America and started performing at a high level
And him and Iles have really evolved as a 2v2 where they're really good at generating 2v2 kills on their own
And they did this against Viper and on I really did like Berserker's Tristana
From the space you think of Miskitz vs SKT
One of their windows that made it feel like it was going to be winnable
33 minutes into this game they were up in gold enough, 2 drinks to 1
So, I do think Berserker and Inspired have been the stable parts of this team
Yeah, they're absolutely beating hard of this team, but sometimes the sole players that feel like they're the ones carrying the entire load for this line-up
Because you highlighted it so well, right? The dominance and the landing, the consistency
Even when they're not flexing new counter picks
Oh no, Pixels
the other three members that we're worried about because it's fired you see the numbers you see
it's fired is good but the other three members we've seen ups we've seen from means they should
unlike cases opens we've seen the absolute worst they might have ever seen in my entire
life from aisles it was diabolical but then we saw the shin game so you know they can do well
but why why my n a friends is it's so inconsistent yeah i mean it's sad to see out of aisles because
he had kind of steadily improved and i know he's his own harshest critic but i do want to call
We saw a little fun banter we had between these two AD carries, right?
Oh yeah, that was a little bit banter.
So TFW, Eddy, and Lyon, Berserker had some words for each other, and I want everyone to give a listen to that.
I have a thing I want to say about Lyon's ADC. What do you want to say?
I saw that, was that Eddie? Yeah, Eddie interviewed that, just waiting for Tucker, I'm like coming
to defend you or something, but I don't even know like who you are, so yeah, I mean, just
try your best, bro.
Ow, it's a quote, Vicky Palmer, I don't know who that man is.
What the fuck?
My chamber, there's the whole mic.
What the fuck?
No, Eddie. Eddie?
Did he just random check him?
He's like being serious about it.
What?
Intentional or not intentional flawless comedic timing.
But the question is what is the joke going to be?
Because depending on how the series go,
this is going to age incredibly well or incredibly incredibly well.
He just randomly checked him.
You ripped the clip to get it ready.
Yeah, I'm happy something happens.
It's the anyway. You say things that'll set you up to get flamed later.
Yes.
Better than saying nothing.
Absolutely true.
Probably going into prediction because I feel like we'll have a couple of things to say about them.
them if we can pull them up I'll start no we mad at me I did three two for TSW listen I
you gotta kind of believe in all the setup that I did about pun it would be disingenuous
for me to then say that they were wow Shox is predicting TSW
obviously not it's a 3 and 2 but I do think it has the capability to become very very contested I
think at sometimes Lyon you know maybe the morale drops a little bit after a game loss so who knows
I feel like you should have if you're gonna go against line you should have gone more against line
So listen, we're saying that inspired and berserker are the steady members of this team
Saint is the biggest wild card like I'll check back with me after game one and you'll know if Saint is faker today
Or a Saint is Palafox like it's
I didn't rehearse this I needed to figure it
We don't we
23 power
My prediction before you are a faker. Yeah, sit out. I just think lion are better on the map
That's it like that is why I have it so close because I do think
Team Secret Wales as I already pointed out can definitely contest them especially in the genius midfielders catching stays
Lion is slightly better on the map and that is why are you hate watching lion?
LCS is growing on me, bro. I have a three on the thing that I will say is that I'm sorry
to Team Secret Wales because they think that their win over Top Esports is historic, but
I'm willing to concede credit, take away the credit from G2 for the Roastmeat, but also
take away from Team Secret Wales because I don't think that that was a top...
At least when I watch EU, they go up against the Top Team, they get fisted.
When I watch NA, they still get fisted, but they get less fisted.
You know what I mean?
They actually get the game play quality, but Lyon, as you've highlighted, good on the map,
and the fact that against BLG, the games went so long and were so close...
They actually get the team fights.
We can't even get fucking past the lane phase.
I want to see the approach that Lyon takes, because when you see Ile's pike, they're trying to play the fastest Ile that the top teams are playing.
But I feel like if Lyon is going to have the highest chance of winning this series, it's by slowing the game down.
It's what they did to every team in the LCS. They slow it down, they take the right fights, they wait until the out of power spikes,
because Lyon did have the best team fight setups and the best team fighting by far of any team in the LCS.
You see that from Berserker and St. and Inspired and their mechanics within the team fights.
They're a Zion after the 5G for my club.
This will be fun though, I think Lyme shouldn't underestimate Team Zigglerails.
I know they beat Top Esports and it's funny, but they've got some quality to them then.
I think their biggest weaknesses are their mid lane and their bot lane lane phase, but their biggest strengths are their teamfights for sure.
And a good teamfighting team is scary on stage.
Because teamfights are inevitable, but early game leads aren't on stage.
That's why weaker players on stage can get to teamfights sometimes.
Oh
That's later that's later
The goal is to do everything we can.
In the last MSI, these two teams didn't know that they would be able to play at the edge of the cliff at this point.
The advantage of Epsi is that he's been watching the whole game, and he's been showing a lot of his influence on the players.
Especially in the recent games, he's been showing a lot of his influence on the top and bottom.
Yeah, that's the girl! G2 well and truly unleashed on the international stage!
In many, many ways, Faker has kept the same kind of playstyle.
And after he got back to even 390, he was playing against Miro.
So, also the one looking for the hero plays, the big out plays, and he will always have some form to plan.
It's just important that we manage to shut that one down.
Yeah, okay, Faker. Okay, you just... Every now and again, Faker has to remind us.
Gerson, Johnny, that hit.
How do they I can hear the words, 2019, without going crazy?
You don't, DSR. Very touching.
Faker we meet again. Oh, I don't have an epic battle scripted line
Seven years inspired in 2019 LEC summer split
I played against him in the first blood, four inspires to keep your eyes on that Rek'sai.
Inspired by that, I won seven times in LEC and ACS, and three times in MVP.
I didn't really think about the trophies that I got.
Before I won anything, I still thought that I'm really good and I'm better than the players I'm facing.
I know my skill level, I know how good a player I am.
And at that time, HISTOR was 11 years old.
Really? They watched LCS anything?
Top Esports!
Really favorite? I mean my favorite Lions for sure.
I can show you the experience coming in.
Are they like getting every player to a one-liner at the end of every trailer?
It's about to go down.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to MSI T-15.
Ooh, flowers for Team Seagal Wales.
First lie, and that's a good choice.
Poon versus Lyon.
And now, today, we eliminate two more teams as phase two begins.
Yeah, Saint has been such a flip. Oh my god.
Saint has been such a flip.
Flower's coping.
Okay, good job.
Fast-paced, good job.
We get to see what it comes down to both of these teams.
We heard it.
Flowers, Kobe, Kajal.
We're back.
How they're going to have to play head to head
and be able to respond to the moves,
because both of them are so important for these teams.
Hey, the junglers definitely are such big components.
Obviously, Inspired, a lot has been talked about,
his shot calling, as well as his individual performance
with this team.
And throughout the year, we have gotten so many
Tom's listening of that inaction and the team really growing together and finding that synergy.
Meanwhile, his though as the youngest player at the tournament and a star for this team.
He creates so much action, especially early on.
We'll see what he can get done here.
Four team secret wells.
I thought that, especially in their-
Oh, I get the drafts going.
Now.
They did a much better job of executing some things that they did a lot better regionally.
You know the synergy between his toe in Dirae was really on display
So Dirae was able to get a lot more kills and skirmishes, you know
We were on the map especially a rise game
I went I went shopping yesterday and I found a card store. There was a card store
And and and in the card store I found this box
It was it was an LCK buffon
2024
Booster box that has signed Elsie casing us in it
There was five boxes I bought all five of them
We're gonna unbox that fucker when we get home
Oh my god
It was me scalper, you know, I didn't know this existed
the top lane and the top lane counter picks.
Okay, what do you got?
Because we're going to open them when we get home.
Hell yeah.
The powerful counter picks.
However, in North America,
Doko played with LL, who used
some very similar counter picks.
Not all, but some of them.
And inspired as well, obviously playing with Wibbo
and always is thinking about those matches.
All right.
The hope and the fear of playing with LL
and don't get super caught.
Oh, is that a red?
Hey, I see it.
I feel like Varus ban has kind of disappeared.
Disappeared and teams haven't been first-picked in Barus because of Bard, but Orianna is open and they ban Ziggs
Which is left like an entrance Orianna Akali's open
Ziggs be as Orianna being open is for sure the most important
Orianna can be matched by Victor or Akali
First pick Ezreal
Heavy poke lane, not easy to answer, this is a good blind, leaves you very defensive, especially like...
They can go Camille into Ezreal, they can play Karma, but the Karma is now blocked by the Northless, so now Izzles has like, Rel Brown.
Team Secret Wales though, they want to lock into the house.
Pike nerfs were announced by the way!
Which works really well, Lee Sin pick away.
Solo Q, he's getting some nerfs.
People haven't played Rek'Sai and Lee Sin yet.
But you can play Zin, you can play Wukong, it's all fine.
I'm surprised Orianna is just dropping.
I mean they can play Senna here.
They can play Orianna here.
Alistar, Esreal, okay bro, these bot lanes are...
I think Senna on 3 is great for Secret Wells here.
Are they allowed to play Locke? No they're not.
Wow, I feel like Leon could have gone like Orianna Nocturne,
They could have gone rel and they're gonna go wukong Alistar or what?
Wukong
Trundle in Talisa is rough, but they have some mortalist so Trundle has value
You could go Kaisa. Oh my god. You can go Silas on 3. That is crazy.
Oh my god. That Silas angle is juicy. Trundle Alistar?
Kaisa's good. Bro, Jin is the worst pick in the game here.
Okay. Kaisa's good. I think Senna's good. Silas is great. Fuck it.
oh my god that's a really good pick
I mean there's quite a lot of midlaners that are annoying for Sylas like Victor can be
annoying, Anivia can be annoying, Leblanc can be annoying, Casio is out luckily, Ryze
is out which is good as well, I think Orianna is a good ban, I think there's so many random
mages that are just annoying for Silas. They do have Lee Sin Nautilus which is pretty good
at killing LeBlanc but LeBlanc is annoying for Silas. I think Senna Kaiseban from Lion
is not bad but they will need to blind top. So do they target Punn's champion pool? Folly
there now what's going to be the rest of yorick they are targeting a champion
pool okay it's time don't pick Jay Stokes please don't pick it don't pick
Jay throw some bands at him but the champion pool goes very very deep you
know York Band though makes you immediately kind of think of I saw what
happened last time the Jays was played I don't want to saw it again I know people
after his previous Jays performance maybe not super excited by that but we'll see
You know what direction they end up going they ban the Jays really
I mean gnar is pretty good now, but gnar into silas is just scary
And they're gonna respect it and go for the ban. I like it. All right
Remember because lion opted for first pick it does mean that secret whales will be able to save puns pick for the very last
choice of the entire draft so they abandon our okay that makes sense that
makes sense I mean lion can go Renekton here it's just Renekton blind into vein
is scary if they can play it
I think Kaisa is fine
I don't like him
What's lying at 4-5 here? Yeah, Renekton's good, like I said with the Narvan
I think Orianna Renekton is just good, isn't it?
You can play Victor as well if you want to be a bit more
Standard or like like Victor can kite a bit better
I think Anivia is really good here in the Sylas Nautilus.
Yeah.
If he's a good Anivia, it's great.
I think Syndra is great in the Lee Sin Sylas if you're good at Syndra, but Saint Syndra
was kind of disgusting.
Earlier on in North America this year we actually posed the question and got the answer from the stats team
Taliyah is good because of the E, but it can be a bit risky. Now here the Rennington blind
Can he play Vayne top into Rennington? Because if he can't he's gonna go Volibear yet or Kennen is a good option too
Volibear into Rennington is a counter pick
Alright chat ads are gonna run afield of what ads you can use at the moment to crime subscribe and support the channel
You have someone to back the games us because I have thrown the ads to the ads during the game
I'll see you in a second. This was love.
Even in when Folly Bear goes all the way to the end of the game, we're gonna get ads for all of the game aside this week.
You know, it completely devastates him or something.
Um, so we'll see because a lot of survivability can be through that, you know, effective health through the heals and shields instead.
Um, especially going with the Fimble Winter build.
Folly Bear into Renekton. This is a matchup you definitely play Graspin.
Well, Bals would disagree, but...
Making me think maybe I should bring them back out.
Uh, bring them back up in the jungle, so...
Let's get into it!
Team Secret Wales, honestly, flowers!
I got this!
Berserker, heart.
I mean, I don't mind Secret Wales' comp.
Taliyah does have a lot of value with Trundle into their champs though.
Like Taliyah, Trundle into Sylas, Nautilus, Lee Sin does eat them.
Maybe they can keep their carry safe.
Maybe, maybe.
But I think that team secret whales they want long scrappy messy fights when you have Silas being able to use the Kingslayer to constantly heal themselves
When you have pun like you said you're constantly getting shields
You're constantly getting heels the longer the fight goes the messier it is the better off the solo laners on team secret whales are going to be
So for lion if they want to win this one lion clean picks. I'm looking for fast disengages
Lion!
Did they play already? No, they haven't played already.
Lion vs. Jigaro's first time.
Let's go to him vs. Furia.
Furia!
He wants to make sure that whoever's diving on him can't one-shot him.
Number 18 in the world vs. number 10 in the world, really.
Team Sugar Rails is 8th place as higher in the power rankings.
What?
That's... what?
How?
How's that on with a lot of this dive from TSW and it does get his first trade there with the chains going through
Okay, D-Ray also one of the players because they beat tests under the most criticism from fans watching the team
Okay, D-Ray. What the really this trading is crazy from D-Ray about saying having a good series when they played against BLG
able to find things like the solo kill on tonight even though lion did get swept in that series
Nice Q from Isles.
Oh, a lion double warded the bush.
Ezreal has a leap of tempo.
Really? NA's got a good win rate versus Vietnam.
I feel like EU has a bad win rate versus Vietnam.
The Saigon Jokers versus Dignitas.
Would that say Saigon Jokers? What the f**k is? How is Scara?
His though is also a good knock for him, so we'll keep that Vietnamese knock turn in mind.
All those old matches just reminded me of so many key moments, but we'll keep track in this long series.
Starting out, Punn doing a good job with the Volibear, into his match-up up there versus Big Dokes, did get the push, but bottom side,
Isles and Berserker getting a little push-up there.
Yeah, the two best players on Lyon so far at this tournament, meanwhile, both junglers are going to end up down on this side.
It's Berserker inspired for sure.
Isles is able to use that, and Hitho probably just, you know, cross over.
Didn't you say you would be at the venue?
No, there was some problems, so I'll be here for the tournament, I think.
Unless something changes, but I doubt it.
T1, let me back in.
That's what inspired his thinking as soon as he finished the Krug he didn't even bother moving towards that bottom side river
He immediately channels his recall thinking they're gonna be going for the box side crab instead of contesting it
He finds the faster purchase. He makes his way into the top side make sure at least the good news is here
The audio is better and there's no delay
Right Devon is wrong. He's got a recall off. So BK there BA with the Nautilus did
You know get his recall off as they were getting harassed pretty heavily
And so he comes back with a ruby crystal, but nice cracking from the bar and build up there
Maybe I'll get a little stoop for the finals or something afford them some extra safety as they pushed in and they wait for inspired second
Reakley or back down to that bottom side
With both junglers starting up on the top side
Oh
Stunned?
Stunned up! Pops the barrier here for the last second
Oh, the lethal tempo killed him
First blood of the berserker 2v2
Yo, nice 2v2 in both by Lyon, very nice
Nice. Gank mid though. Saints.
E Q.
Yo Saints, just chill man, just chill.
Did he have vision on one side to play for?
No he doesn't have any vision. I guess vision on rep first.
Big Dokes for his big pun.
Okay this series is actually gonna be...
The good thing about watching Lion,
I think Lyon is one of the most fun teams to watch in the tournament because right there against a really good team or a really bad team there's 50 kills a game no matter what.
Ly inspired will just tell Isles, Isles, follow me now and then they'll just run in and die, it's great.
And then he'll blame Isles.
mid lane because it did cost same but it also was his so using his flash to
follow
on low HP up here in the pocket six though looking for a little bit I've seen
the
bro volley bear is scary man that champ can turn so hard not under any lethal
threat
the last thing I want to point out about that previous to be to Iles didn't use
flash
he was able to catch up to Eddie for the trample stone with just the heel move
speed increase
so there's so who would win a fight though for real bear versus crocodile who
actually wins IRL
Dokes is gonna have ultimate advantage you know yes fun pushing
is going to be able to hit his ult and be able to not die a bear but now those guys will have the
old advantage for the all-in for Renekton versus Volibear. I think there's ever been a time where
a bear actually fought a crocodile somewhere in the world, there probably has been once in a time.
After the next recall, what is going to be able to go back to lane with and it is going to be
junglers back to that top side of the map for their next re-clears as well so they could get into
the mix and those junglers are very close to level six. But it kind of sucks though if one of them
They can't eat each other, can they?
I thought there's an 8th fish.
goldly everything see what they can do with that first in over the hedge the
bear had like crisps and chocolate bars in his cave before he hibernated you're
stacking up and they've got a lot of control I mean if you can keep pushing
on bottom side Berserker will be very safe by himself until you know by
start to get some roms off maybe they can protect Saint a little bit good
documentary well please do you have flash and the enemy Lee sin has
and like you said, Deeray still has his wife, but there's a lot of play for him to do well, so he has to play fair, he possibly in the mid lane, whereas he cannot have his own flash.
Alright, pun heading back up towards his own lane here and he's got his toe right behind him
They know they have the control ward in the pixel brush. Doku's gonna walk right in
His toe waiting hits him with the sonic wave
Resonating ready to follow up. Doku takes a nice damage
But not under any immediate threat doesn't pop the base anyway the leasing and the top of his frozen
So it's pretty good topside. This was roaming up flowers as well. You can see on the mini map there
Dira had taken a moment to roam from mid lane
But Doku was playing it fairly safe, you know
He stopped by moving a little bit towards himself. He had an inkling of idea
They could be in the brush and you know puns gonna have a killing this soon as dogs walks up
He's where you really commit to the room up to the top side. I've already been a champ just chases you
With them showing their lease in for a little bit
No flash isles some Isles there
I like what team secret Wales is doing looking for these opportunities to maybe find a pick and they get a free flash out of the enemy
support okay so it's by his gonna cross map he's going for grud's up here body
back okay now don't was already popped the dominance body bear wins that no
just fucking kill him or the storm bringer and pun they took a while she
running away doclas cuz they're missing out in the trade flashing forward for the
side oh my god he got him in the one three basically he didn't want to flash
him fight back cuz he knew he would get ganked your w pun about to get another
heel okay takes him down all right they got a drake for that so it's one for one
on a drake. Yeah, punpuking. He could also steal back top if he wants to catch the remainder
of that wave. I guess Inspired gets rubbed, so it's actually pretty even. You need some
Competing reduction with some team because Wally Breschamp, he just heals so much.
The auto attack range is crazy.
So, we'll see if, you know, that is going to be meaningful for him.
Fortunately, he didn't have his Dark Seal at the time, so he didn't have his Dark Seal at the time.
So they swapped top here, Leon, with Grubbs, which makes sense.
He always wishes you could get the extra deal of the bonus out of that one, but they have to even neutral objective.
Nautilus needs to click top and let Kaisa lane one-way one.
Otherwise, Punn just slowly dies.
Or can they just kill Dokes?
And honestly, the gold difference this game is pretty much just the bottom lane.
maybe oh great oh nice auto art auto that was cleaned by a very nice gank what the helly
now what the this is the thing with lion like there's always windows when you swap you can dive
top foreman but inspire just full tears like here if chandelier was here cross mapping i
I feel like a top team would just be dying in the body-bear, but he does like to do his full tears.
Like here, I would see this Nauta's bot and then I would assume that as soon as you see this,
As soon as you see this, you have to just click here.
Taliya, first push, click, and just dive on this next wave.
It was eventually going to push towards him anyway, and not respecting the Null as roam.
Really nice hook here from BA. They're expecting it, and they know that he has no flash.
Very clean game. Very good hook.
They can use their flashes and that top lane scrimmage that we saw.
So nicely done there from TSW.
Now they're looking to run it back again.
This dive is doable.
If you know where tele is, and I think they know where tele is
Now they have to die top
But he has shield and ult, but they have ignite actually ignite does a lot of work
And lion have grubbed so it's kind of worth for lion
Yeah, and both AD carries being able to get these kills as well as real is that the training force bike here for berserker
So is they are gonna be able to use the extra damage they'll get first tower bonus in addition to trading the kills here for line
So again trading up still for lying even though
Docklaid is just been in a world top lane role berserker is top lane role
It's just decided on who can get more of the wave before they die
This is something that we saw a lot in the series versus BLG the Tristana game
It was berserker who was very far that's just literally that's the third game
It's also berserker very far ahead individually
He's able to build these leads for himself
But he's got to be able to step up and carry once he's got the resources. Yeah, and he's gonna have to
You know find Kaiser with the exhaust I think you know the the on-hit Kaiser here getting a lot of money on the other side, too
is gonna be a question mark so we'll see about the next move as the tower no
unanswered on bottom side does leave line with some more options for their
setup for this dragon it's a minute and ten ahead of time and Isle is trying to
get that first line of vision to set up for it to see the enemy approach and they
can push out line definitely are going to be in a decent spot here for this
streak because they have their trinity forces slow stack and inspired I'm not
That is the most useless Renekton I've ever seen in my life.
89 CS, minute 13.
Pickaxe Fage, level 9.
He's two levels down on his own mid laner.
He's going to catch up a little bit now, but Dokes is cooked this game.
I mean, he's going to press R and flash W someone, and then Jesus take the wheel.
for everybody except the supports and doklah so a little bit there's two
co-shrimmers in this game here on the line as the dragon is about 15 seconds
away from spawning and team secret whales are trying to clear out the mid lane
put him will just be really tanky annoying I don't know with berserker not
having his exhaust cool down it's fairly short left on the cool down
his toe trying to go in and maybe find an angle here on the aisles but aisles
immediately respond to the pulverized and the headbutt back away yeah he's
Let's do this Drake though.
Let's put the TP top now.
Well, I think that they are a little bit behind on macro, IMO.
I think their call here should have been do-dragon.
And as they started, Sylas should have based in Ren Top when Renekton's there.
And Sylas should be on top wave now and Bloody Bear takes over one bot wave then they base and swap after.
I think their macro was a bit bad, but they got the Drake.
turret if there was a cannon up there but this is just they just lose the
top way for it for no reason so it's actually you should always have it so
if a solo laner is on the side and they can be effective if it's free the solo
laner on the same side to base and catch while the other one does the dragon
catchers instead this is the big one always but I think this will make it so
they actually wouldn't lose anything when they're investing in cross map plays
early on and are looking for the extra gold and giving up the first two
dragons number three is the turning point yeah and lion you already said it
domestically this is a team that is fine playing very slowly they do not want
to take a fight if they feel like they don't really have a shot until they kind
of have that pressure on them where they have to do plus still working towards
that quest I'll still working towards the quest while team now they're just
forcing herald locked in what the world now by the whales and they have
everybody up here docus on the bottom side of the map just trying to catch up
further in terms of gold and it looks like once more they should really tip
the bottom body bear they're using so many millions though play for gold take
waves play in side lanes instead and that's the call is berserker also gonna
continue using the extra pushing power the grubs gob bless yeah I mean the
value there is actually good for lying they got a lot of turret play buddy gobb
bless I mean pretty chill they don't really need Volibear TP anymore you
have to be both there well you see what it's worth Drake said Harold said that's
Three minutes. The only disadvantage is like, Volibear can't TP behind them topside, but it's fine, because he just fights Renekton and wins.
So he just keeps Dota under his tower, and it's 4v4 topside, GLHF.
I guess the good thing is, if Sylas gets Doven, he can take Trundle ult and ult Trundle, or he can take Alistar ult.
trying to get away stopped by the four man top from line to survive and that means
I mean they have grubs but overloading this topside tier two turret using the
void grubbs to force this one down true shop garage fired into the mid lane to
clear out the wave try to prevent team secret whales from getting anything in
return the hero helps me to do is a lot here one turret recognizing they can
not get engaged on here though they're actually coming to trap to look at the
road down if he stayed for one or two more autos tally old flies in he's dead
for the end of the turret, but good call from Team Sieg Wales, they take a tunnel vision,
they're not going to stick around, most of the value of taking turrets now, I still see
so many people yet to adapt to the fact that a lot of the players need to take turrets
but yeah, you don't have to stick around for the very end of a turret as much as you
used to do before this season and so they don't allow themselves to get caught in a
a bad position there, any sort of greed, because everything is for this next track
The good thing that Team Seagwales have now, the dangerous for Lyon, is that BA dumped all his wards bot side, and Sylas has TP.
So, they have three massive TP wards behind. If they want to turn the play, oh my god, Punn just killed Saints.
Beside us is coming but the body bear might die.
Ah, it's great. Berserker is just cooking.
Berserker is just cooking them.
Berserker is just...
I feel like North-Lisle needs to be used on Berserker, otherwise he's just gonna carry the game.
It's Gary the game.
The champion of all time, the professional league of legends,
they see him and they don't hesitate.
They even use an exhaust on him.
They don't want to save him for the fight.
They need some hits of value of starting that fight
when TSW are not ready for it.
And you could tell TSW trying to react.
They were de-synced.
Histo jumps out as Punn jumps in.
I mean, you can just watch Preserker free hit
the whole fight if you want.
That's crazy.
Not hesitating jumping on this opportunity
because in comes St.
He gets the flip back.
They force it into Histo.
He just has to look at what he's going to jump in, so now he's just kind of watching from the other side as his bottom lane there just gets absolutely wrecked.
Perzurker is in such a nice approach.
Renekton, Trumble, Alistar are like his bodyguards. It's so nice.
Hey, Kermit, 25, give him much love. Much love. I think he's doing fantastic much love.
Chatter, then you go get himself all the lovely cards.
Before the actual objective is even on the map, well before it's even on the map, and Lyon heavily re-ordering for that.
Now Lyon just needs to get the streak and the game is great.
Yes Flash, but he yes...
He lock it.
His toe went in onto him, he's gonna die.
Flash on Inspire though, it's pretty bad if Inspire flashes there.
Everybody off, he died, BA barely survived, now St.Slash is gonna flash back from the wall, everything alive himself
Little through, oh nice E from St.Eddie, in stealth, no flash on his part, Diard doesn't have any spells, Stunt from Puddes, massive
Inspired falls, the three when Isles are on the run and Team Secret Wails, three for one
They didn't get the drake, they didn't get the drake
Bro this series is gonna be fucking awesome
I think Histo inted. In a good way. He pulled three people.
So Isles is dying. But look at Histo. He lands Q on Isles and he takes it now.
So inspired and Berserker turn around and that means they're running to Taliyah even though they get a good combo on the right.
They have to run away. Which is awful for the fight.
This Taliyah E was sick by sainte. He gets Eddy on the dash, but
Inspired oh my god, D-Ray missed his chain almost lost him. Poon just flash stuns inspired or what? No, didn't flash
Same damage there as the rest of line had already been pushed out
Every time I'm dragon. It's just not even a full second
It's like half of a second elite time
They're on sole point man
With four members pumping damage while the rest of the enemy team is still coming over to the objective
or to the ward it's just a story of two supports a little bit ahead of their
teams and the second time around the rewards are much bigger because TSW
got the drink yep that's the big difference both times it's a three for
one both times it starts with the support but the plies goes to Team Secret
Wales and now Eddie is really fucking strong now like Kaisa into Alistar
Trondall Renekton is excellent because you know she will shred them on three
I think team figure well as his positioning is really like in the game. It's really good
I think D-Ray needs to if they want to win this game he needs to take
Trundle and ult Trundle when he ult's it's so insane to be on site I threw that and Berserker
He needs to cook so hard.
But it's very easy for Sadistus to be like,
I want to take Alistar root, no.
And he needs to R his R.
Man, Kai'Sai is so OP.
I just think that even though he's screened a gold up,
These items versus these items is just...
That's not what you want to have to deal with. It's more shields than shields.
The Vony Bear is just way better.
And if we go back to Champion Select, we were talking about how worried we are about this Silas with a possible Alistar ultimate.
What the fuck is this?
Which he did steal in the previous one. Now they're actually just gonna start up Baron.
Jokla's recalling right now, he's gonna teleport, but they're so late.
It's gonna die. It's dead.
It's at 6k and dropping very quickly.
Sniper, I'm trying to get him to ult us all.
Oh my god, same Stoner!
It's stolen away by S.A.N.!
He does that at 10, and he stole Elder as well.
In the last series didn't he?
I can screw you?
Oh my god.
Oh for fuck sake sake.
Rax.
I think it must have been Talia here. What the fuck was that?
I gotta see that again, Flowers! Maybe it was a seismic shove or something, but he rides the wall, he gets in there, I was like, well, there's no way Inspired gets there in time, but then you're out here because he's in it!
He rides it in, what's he gonna be able to, even Nautilus is, they're all keeping him out!
Oh my God, it's Taliyah E. It's down the E combo there!
That's crazy. It's enough to get it!
It's the final round of Taliyah E.
He's actually mad this while. This is craziness, and Pan even barely surviving there.
The smite was awful, yeah.
Oh, Lee Sin Q was cancelled by Taliyah R or Taliyah E.
for Team Secret Wales, I feel like what you're looking for, try to find a pick on somebody, make it a 5v4 game, and take them back out on the map.
Otherwise, Lyon just have so much control right now.
Yeah, and it's only 54 seconds ahead of the drake, so...
It just depends whether the damage landed or not, we can check it with the drake.
...as well as mid lane, full vision coverage leading up to the dragon soul fight, so that you can have a better chance of responding to the dive from TSW.
same as one more spike fight inspired MSI
They've drafted for themselves. They're gonna have to be face-checking and it's so much better for line when you're running trundle Alistar
Taliyah these champions are so much better at kind of receiving fights than they are at starting out the fights themselves
So the change looks like teams in Wales is giving trade. It is going to be critical and TSW. They look like they're not even gonna take that
risky approach where does go cross map we'll just play up here I like what
lion's doing though they're not giving them a cross map doing a similar thing
and defending it yep lion trying to protect that topside turret and you
say lion's comp is better at playing when someone has to engage into them I
fully agree and even more so when saint now has his seekers arm guard if they
try to make a move on this hero Taliyah they should get top tower and give great
there for the highest individual gold lead right now nearly a 4,000 team gold
lead for Lyon and they will take that Drake like you said no contest it's no
it's not a steal as you would install it still Drake
Punn should be able to get this tier one turret in the topside finally but D-Ray
forced to run again from the pillar
nice flash combo
may have been a fable mistake he has to flash of the wall
where was the Taliyah combo was it the merchants?
flash combo here with Saints so he flashes for the stun but they didn't quite have the full
distance they're necessary for the
side of the club immediately after the
stun and so he does have time to flash
out his toe will live this one flash for
flash top laner for the jungler
honestly both flashes are really
important critical for these two
champions to perform in the teamfights
right Lee Sin and Renekton both need
those flashes later on as the game
approaches the late game state to make
big impacts in the teamfights so with
both those down on the same timer we'll
see how much the teams want to fight
Well Kaisa is building her, I presume Mortal Reminder, and Mortal Reminder is good this
game though, LDR is pretty good too, but Mortal Reminder has a lot of other games.
So I still think, even though it is a close trade, we're going to see an attempt on the side lane.
Yep. Inspired Isles insane. Come on, his toes are targeting yet again.
Trying to get away from the unravelled earth. His toes.
Oh, almost saved him. Kuhn's behind.
He took Alistar ult, and he's just going to die this Isles.
I think he's just winning for Lyon surely, or actually, Edeus.
Nice flash combo.
Nice exhaust, oh, almost. And he dead, spells GG.
Is it GG? It should be GG.
Wow, the game just ends in top.
He has ult in 3 seconds, he could take Renekton ult or Trundle ult.
Oh my god, he played it pretty well, you know.
It's kind of hard to win that.
Nexus, Nexus, Nexus, Nexus.
Oh, he missed his Q. Oh, he missed his hook.
Poon's alive.
Nexus!
Alright, GG Game 1.
GG Game 1. Ooh.
Where's the marathon end call there?
Yo, Docla's gotta get a...
I think they need to prioritize Docla and draft, get him a good match up,
or they need to like, have him play a lot safer.
I think if Punn gets like, a good Yorick angle, or a good set angle or something,
this could go sideways this game.
I think if Vodibare that game, it's okay, they have Trundle.
Wow, you have to go for a long...
They gotta be careful.
He has a fight!
He hasn't seen long!
But I think Botif will win the game.
Like, if Docla just goes even, I think Botif will carry.
amazing to watch from my LCS representatives here on the desk withstanding even that that that
male game fight and just overall a sovereign win for Lyon. I mean a very familiar looking game.
Yeah but we'll carry. Give a lot of drakes in the LCS and there's a lot of games where it's
pretty even and they win the majority of those games. Now the fact that this is the LCS representative
at international event made me very nervous but it's good that they seem to not be affected by
That pressure that's a couple of wins they've had now in games like this against furia and now against the whales
Yeah, and I mean it did get scary for the I want to see this might
Show me that smite because I think the game just turned on that smite right the game just fully turned off the smite play
Yeah
They're all keeping him out. Yeah, and it puts down the same did
I mean the smite is just so early.
He Q once now, auto attack, he's smiting now, at 19.38 he's smiting, to take it to 419.
And I think he Q's there and that's why he gets stunned.
So his Q2 damage, I think his Q2 damage got cancelled there.
one now even Nautilus is smite auto because you only get stunned if you dash
in Natalya you right so he must have Q2'd now or he's W'ing think it's
think he's because it's kind of strange how his champion goes inside Baron here
is he Q2'ing there I think he's Q2'ing there right because he goes inside
Baron. So now he has nothing. I think the W is why he gets stunned. It's just okay
So it's just an early smite. It's just way too early. It's an afro. Taliyah E steals Baron. What the fuck?
Yeah, and he puts down the E. Oh, no, he gets stunned because he gets pushed by the wall.
What's he gonna be with? Even Nautilus? He queues into the Baron, which is essentially into the wall.
So he gets pushed back by the wall. They're all keeping him out. And stunned by the, by the, oh, no, it's Taliyah W maybe.
Yeah
What's he gonna be able even Nautilus is they're all keep no it's not to the other you she's studying him out rides it in
She's not in range for W I
Think it's just a wall spitting him out
W doesn't do damage now. I know that I'm trying to figure out what knocks him into the rocks
But even Nautilus is they're all keeping him out
I think it's the I think it's queuing into the Baron which takes him into the wall
Which pushes him out of the back the wall into the tally a I don't think he's dub you in
Yeah, and it puts oh, yeah, it's the Baron knockback. Of course. It's the Baron knockback. He does the Baron knockback
What's he gonna be able even not list is they're all keeping him. Yeah, I guess it would knock him back out
What the fuck yeah, and it puts down the e-cars so bad this I just a terrible smite
It was
Terrible smite, I think he's panicking a bit. I mean the Joker isn't even there
Saint just flies in on Taliyah. I thought for a second maybe he put the rocks down which interrupted his toes, but no
No, I just
Doesn't smite it properly. He leaves it a 400 health and Saint's able to get the free combo
Yeah, it's berserker a top 1080 carry bro. He's pretty fucking good
Because this to me was actually I think berserker's had a pretty solid tournament to DSW plus three drinks to zero
Yeah, that sets up for the fourth Drake and what the gold difference they probably could have survived Baron
We've said it a million times not as strong as it used to be that soul would have made this game so much more difficult that Silas
Alistar that so many people were probably tunneling on in the draft would have been a lot bigger problem if they had game had gone longer
But instead we can look at this beautiful graph where you can see Berserker just free fires in every team
What does that mean?
If the Baron and they close it out looking like nothing was ever wrong
Yeah, so Lyon will play against if they win the series they play against the winner of G2 vs T1
This Alistar had a much better performance than we've seen from him recently and Berserker is just playing
So so well right so we either get EUNA or we get Lion versus T1
It was actually really huge and I think both can abandons were Berserker or Jokla would just be getting plates by pressuring turrets
While they were seeding objectives like Harold or Drake. I do want to hock him back to something that was said
In the pre-show about saying how he was gonna show up
Absolutely, so we knew that inspired and berserker are the reliable members of Lyon and you never really know what you're gonna get from the rest of them
And Saint I think has the biggest various because on any day. I said in the pressure. He's either faker or
Palafox
I think that's just respect for Palafox. He did after all sweep g2 kind of kicked him out of worlds a couple years ago
So we picked a more appropriate representative. It's like a it's like a faker to Kajorl
And I feel like he was other person
Slightly more bigger than Kajorl this game. He's not faker at the moment, but I still want to take this level in this series
Yeah
So it's definitely pushing them a little bit forward to all right and I will say the best green
Frat flag for lion concerning for future series good for this series is they died in the early game don't look a little messy in the
Ender game, but it just didn't matter. They were clutching the fight count
There's all the matters we can ignore all of the little messy bits in the early game because it really all came together in the end
Also, since it's Fearless, Eddie's Kaisa is gone, this is for his first defeat on it in this entire year, I believe, and then also Pwn's Volibear is gone.
No, don't worry, Pwn has a lot more. Don't you worry about Pwn.
Don't you worry. We'll be right back with game two.
What are we gonna say?
And the CEO of stray catching
Although you're near anything. No, there was a problem
There was a there was a
There was a little problem
If it gets fixed, I'll go I'll go to the venue. Otherwise. I'm chilling here. I'm shooting
But so rainy crazy
And new legends
Blacklisted
LOL
That's your story, Taser!
When I was a player, if I was to make a misplay, maybe it's my mouse, maybe it's my armrest, something feels wrong. If you were at home, you wouldn't do that.
The infinite precision armrest is part of the largest you can let on stage standard initiative.
Aren't you gonna clap back?
What do you mean, clap back? What is that?
Not only that, other players will also make the settings more accurate.
The most comfortable play is when the player is more powerful and more natural.
check carry a solo kill account what is he up to? what is he doing?
no no i think that's what a fight gives him much love
alright stop too crazy, scarner support, fog support
you need to look at paces bro, he's playing echo ad carry
he's cooking some shit
I'm not a power, but so I'm down at the top of the world
Make it all the time, I want it all gon' get it
I don't know what I need, I'm not gonna need it
I'm real old, no more life for my fun
Any carry roll is cooked
Do you see Betty's teak on any carry spots?
No it involves his teak.
call your tradition list. His take was basically that adc carries need to learn champs and it's
not that big of a deal. Bro, that take I hate that take. That take is like how can I farm based
emotes with my take. Yeah, every role has to learn champs so adc carry should have to learn
champs too. Stop crying and play mages. That take is just like on the surface it's like wow so based
But if you actually zoom in it's like, ah yes, let's have internationals or adc have to play like major spot
We're having so much fun. Like there's a difference between
There's a difference between playing what's op in your wall and optimizing the game for entertainment for viewership purposes, right?
If you if you optimize the friend theme purposes, you'll get a 2022
Worlds meta where everyone fucking loves it. Assassin's mid adc spot engage
flexible support pools
If you optimize it to be dogshit viewing experience, we'll watch Ornn vs Malkai, Ziggs vs Mel,
we'll watch fucking ranged Janna vs Karma bot, and we'll watch Orianna vs Korky mid,
and we can all sit there and fall asleep.
So that take is dogshit, because it's just gonna make the game boring as shit.
I wanna watch GumaYushi vs Viper play KaisaNaut vs ZyraKan, or some shit.
I don't wanna watch the camera not go bot for 15 minutes.
Like, if you don't optimize the game for a viewing experience and you just say,
Oh, stop being a baby, play what's meta, then it's going to be fucking boring,
because the game becomes hyper-optimized.
They need to make it so like, the roles are at least semi-enthusiastic to watch.
Otherwise, we're going to get another Corky is here.
And we can just leave Corky is here, and I get it, I'm not here to criticize people who optimize the meta.
I'm not saying they shouldn't play Magespot, of course they should.
It's Giga broken, find what's broken and play the game, that's called pro play.
But I do think there should be some balance or some kind of a tunneling of a player's
champion pool or a role's champion pool to cater a little bit to at least something that
makes it so you actually have the root of the role and it's fun to watch.
I.e. I think mid laners should play mages and assassins.
AD carry should play marksmen, top laners should play bruisers and possibly tanks.
That's just the way the game should be.
So the reason I'm complaining is because if it doesn't get fucking changed, Summer Split is going to be a load of horseshit.
I'm going to sit here for 10 weeks at WFN.
10 weeks of Summer Split and watch them play Metal Ziggs.
I am going to fucking tune out. Hell nah. That's fucking boring as shit.
Tournament though, because we just saw a baby in the audience.
Okay, the baby is younger than Histo.
Histo is in the top three for sure.
Yeah, for sure.
Shout out to the baby in the audience.
I'm sure a big fan.
Regardless, though, I mean, the pressure is the biggest thing.
And so that's the biggest pressure moment for junglers.
It's always like smiting barons and smiting elders
or smiting dragon souls.
Exactly.
It's one of the both exciting and very grand things
about the role is that so much pressure is on you
in one of these small moments.
It's just like one click and a piece of timing there you...
Alright buddy, you enjoy queuing up into major spots and clawing your eyes out.
Oh yeah, you know, I'm gonna steal this or whatever, you just throw out your abilities and if you get it, you get it.
So, we'll look at game number two though here, how you can reset on this big stage with all of this pressure as the...
I don't play summoner's rift.
Okay, so you're saying you're saying play major spots while you're in Rm, okay.
Nice, good take.
Yeah.
How is Orianna not being picked?
Akali's even banned and they're not banning Orianna.
They banned Nocturne and gave them Orianna.
What the hell is Team Secret Whales cooking?
Do they just want to play Oriented Victor or what?
was not enough to secure his team's secret wale to win so with first pick let's see what Lyon wants to go for again you know it's only game 2 of Fearless yeah there's some of the stuff off the table but there's still so many power picks left and Varus is gonna be the
Varus first pick with Nautless out in Barden are we dead as?
it is still something that Dokla has played many times yeah definitely very much a flex pick
are we dead as?
and well despite the many attempts there's no way Pune's blinding Jorak I'm sorry that's just not happening
He's not that much of a psycho. Okay, God bless.
Trundles out, Zinzal's good. Yeah.
Surely Zinzal Orianna, or they have laspix, so they should wait to see where this Varus don't pick severe.
It's a flex Varus, don't do that please. I'm gonna open my eyes and you're gonna pick Orianna.
Three, two, one, boom.
Hello.
But I don't think they need to get that spicy this early on, especially since they did win the first game, so...
We'll take a look and they just go for it. Focus on the wave strategy.
Sivir and Daveris is a classic here.
I don't get it.
Their spell shield always easily...
They're reflexing Sivir as well as the way of pushing and helping.
Exactly. If Barris wants to do a snap piercing arrow, sure, but if he wants to charge it for the good damage, it's very easy to block with the spell shield.
So now Lyon, how do they want to respond here?
Sivir is important.
Well, they can go counter in the Zins, I mean...
Bro, does Saint play Orianna or not?
Or the Jarvan is crazy here.
The Jarvan is crazy.
The Jarvan does go hard.
Into Sivir Zins with a victor.
What about pun? What about top lane? Top lane definitely. Pun plays a lot of champs that can can punish slow mobility carries.
They can pun issues.
Yeah, I understand it, but he does play a lot of things that in teamfights will be looking directly, whether it's a top lane, you know, Varus or, you know, bot lane at the back line there.
So we'll see if they can punish it because they do have all the hunts from Sivir to Alistar.
Alright, there's Orianna, but I don't know about Orianna and the Jarvan.
You wanna play like something else?
R-Ring?
Is that why you were banned from the arena?
I'm not banned from the arena.
Z-Bow!
Gem that MSI where they just kept showing people in the crowd kissing?
Oh my god.
Yo, why they gonna do that?
again let's not do that again it's just control mage versus control mage but i will say all right
this virus is a flex if you start banning like fucking gnar and shit i'm gonna freak out that's
even worse yeah definitely agree and he has been quite good on the jarvan previously inspires jarvan
is not just about punishing low mobility carries surely the best bands are supports isn't it better
Just ban like
The Lulu Seraphine and look for karma on four isn't that like the best play
Or something similar, you know what I mean? Get Cidra karma bot with Nautilus out
Band supports because they're roh dogging support on four. Why they banning ADs?
Like I do ban Blitz now and then just fucking pick karma
Chase just matching the York Ben. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, we've got that chase band away too just like in game number one as soon as the way I think team figure
Real should you let him have chase am I crazy one more band to go here for lion before we get into the second half of
The draft I'm still very curious where this varus is going to end up
Obviously, we're going to learn that here very soon the Olaf and Olaf fan. It's probably Varus top
Can pull play jacks
It's probably Varus top can pull play jacks. Yes or no
If you can play jacks
We talked a lot about his support scarner
Bardo, I like the Bardo
It's a good pick.
I don't think Lyon would play like Kate Karma. I presume they would play like Lucian or some shit knows.
Or...
Nah, they wouldn't play a mage bot either. Nah, they wouldn't do that.
Camille is open.
the Camille being hovered this one I think it will cause a little a little bit of a
scare for NA fans. My Camille win rate has not been impressive so far in the tournament.
My Camille is going to lock it in and say all right we've got faith that Iles Camille
is a classic smiley. I'm gonna default to trust again all right. Okay his
I could play Jhin, but I don't really like it.
It's pretty bad, isn't it?
Or they're gonna put the Varus bot.
They pick the Gnar.
Vayne top, very good into Gnar, Jarvan.
I think Kennen is kind of funny.
Urgot, what the?
Jack's very good against our champs.
Singed.
You know it does make sense as long as they can actually execute on her gops and of course remember white Camille
One of the biggest times I chat I'm gonna run ads if you know about ads you try
I'm gonna have something to tell about the one two back the game just pick this after on the ad turning the edge in the game
I'll see you in this deck. Thank you so much love. I cannot get away with those. All right journeys. Yo, this is a good series
We're getting any carry spot
Execute with it top side you mentioned the jacks earlier on previously
But Punk is going to bring out that Jax into the gnar here. So top lane carry alive and well
We'll see about these roaming supports and which one will in the end have the bigger
This comes better
Ummm, well, I do like having Jarvan Camille into Cigar Orianna not going to lie.
I think if Jax is even or behind, Lyon runs this game.
If Jax gets ahead, I think the game is full cooked for Lyon.
very wisely certainly does the team though as I said they've got a lot of
engage at their disposal so at the very least he won't be going in alone you
know no sir he's got big dogs and inspired as a well as other forms of
engage either lead or follow so we'll see can the Bard also use some good the
Bard defensive ultimates yes another possible answer here from BA and team
Secret Wells looking to bounce back after the previous one of course big turning point of course was saying just being able to grab the Baron
Right out from under his toe with the early smite
And so sometimes that does stick in your head, especially if it happens multiple times at a tournament
As a jungler you all should really measure that and then make a scene and then I don't have to ever do it again manually
But why am I always fucking money you doing it? I'm so stupid and hold steady
We also, again, you know, both the carries on the side of Team Secret Wales being immobile
except for the flashes means that you have a chance to make the, uh, what's the good
term, we'll call it the fuse box, the cataclysm.
Alright, the last time I saw Isle's Camille, was the last time I wish I saw Isle's Camille,
but here we are again.
Alright, the redemption.
My guy, Isle.
He's being funny
And he can take his blue
morrigan gangbob
what the fuck is that Jarvan's game?
Jarvan's so broken, press E get assist
yeah, lying, cooking so hard
very nice
I think like I said, as long as Gokla can just go even and chill
Both cap will win the series
Why is it they've played Jarvan Camille twice now?
When I put Jarvan lowest and Camille highest they're just I'm just getting fucking into it on both at this point
Make sure they guarantee protection on the top side picking them together. There was any are we for real of the jungle path from
His toe to go over there, but there was not so that one will also be secured for them
Currently though, is this full clear finished? Yeah, same trying to get away from the gank here in the mid lane
His toe with the third time does collide with same. Oh my god, bro. I feel like okay
Call me crazy trying to save the way same place. I feel like he's literally a seventh jungle campaign series
In the first five minutes
He is the 7th jungle camp the fable 7's I thought it was bounce, but now it's same
But saying this good at smiting
can be some inconsistency sometime from him and not able to outplay as the big
gank comes through and in the end this though he just got to do normal clear on
his jungle path before your cameraman your mouse a little low but he got back into the
Aram game w you still get a very efficient gank so while inspired yo did
get off the early three camp and what the fuck is that Arabian you're gonna be
dealing with some awkward response because of that you know the topside ones
are gonna be decent a little bit with the extra time spent for the game
meanwhile his toe has a very clean re-clear on his next clear because he
just did full clear into game through mid and they got the kill on the game
through mid very efficiently so he can just do another smooth one and he's
actually passing through mid again as you see in the mini-map yep say no flash
since I was flashed as Saint tries to get away he drops the gravity field
Yeah, I mean the Orianna being ahead is pretty good for teaching the whales, but it's not the end of the road for lion
They can play against it already heading towards what is wrong with the game like the audio is fine, but the game is like
Jittery. Oh my god. He lived. Oh my god
They could dive this Varus, you know if they know where Jarvanist, Vera is also sick
so he can kill saint they see jargon crossing
yo mr. kerman his mouth is on the right now he can't see it
oh god saint what are you bro what are you doing like bro what are you doing
Oh my god, he's fucking inting
Like I swear the first ten minutes
The first ten minutes
Saints just misplays
I think the way I think I said it previously but I think he just plays so cocky I know
he's trying to cancel Orianna base of course I know but he's no flash Bart's missing Zin
Zhao's around mid I don't know he plays so far up in these lanes
Well, topside Isles is up there at the moment on the Camille, but I wonder if you'll actually be able to punish this Jax who does not have Flash and-
Camille's game from top.
Oh my god.
Support this.
Oh, weepie by Eddy.
I mean, he failed a little bit of the play, but he saved it. They missed BarQ and Syriac Q1.
while his support is on a roam time just play safe wow this game is not the
game and they're able to get it look all those
they're gonna flash ultimate yeah this game state i never expected
doklah is ahead everyone else is behind um now you know picking up the minion
wave he's gonna have to walk all the way back over to the other side for the
camps and zirca goes down he loses out on those ones so that means the
sivers gonna be right back even on farm and with the extra money from the kill
No pulls ahead.
Berserker also playing the Lethality Varus.
This style has fallen more out of favor after the more recent nerfs to the champion.
You have seen more of the lethal tempo, like traditional on hit attack speed style of Varus
lately.
But Berserker going to go for those heavy Lethality hits considering the enemy team is pretty
squishy overall.
Yeah.
And they've got it.
Jackson is in with a really hard to get value on attacks again.
Yeah.
Pretty tough.
Counter strike.
Alright, Dokes.
This is you.
Hanon is coming? No, I know.
When is England vs. Loris? It's tomorrow?
Oh, it's on Saturday.
Oh, cancelled.
Orianna's positioning is fucking awful.
Awesome. Oh my god, D-Ray.
Farmer to go to victory, it's pretty good for Lion.
Oh my god, he stole the last one as well.
Oh my god, it's a fucking horror for DG Wales.
Isle's he gonna go in?
Don't chase? Yeah.
towards mega gnar his toe fires off yo don't look carries this game just trying
to provide an escape route for his teammates and that was a valuable delay
there from lying them anyway was pushed up on top side and so they're trying to
keep them there in the little skirmish even though they didn't have something
theorist they were committing they're trying to delay them with just two
players it's a push out on mid-late much better for their timing as don't look
don't look oh no he should have jumped all though there it's a kill isn't it
Plund down to a hundred HP forces the ulti out of the jacks even though the start of that
Turns out with them catching in spire. That's as easy. Yeah, but he stunned the other side of the stun
Is it a kill does not have flash and so I'll go in here while inspired is basically dead on that side with three people around him
From the barred ultimate catching and breaking up his EQ combo
But inspired with his dying breath he cataclysm and he keeps them all there and delays them so they can't join
I guess if he had Grasp, he would kill him, but he's playing with Lilliputempo.
Everyone plays Lilliputempo now.
Bro, Lyon are doubling down.
Operation, get Dokla ahead, but this dive feels pretty hard.
Uh, is Ile's dead here?
Or?
Hardest? No.
It's NAR dead here. Someone feels like they're dead here.
That's a f**k, what's that? He just goes through it twice?
Okay, one.
Barred on two.
Berserker has TP, is he to carry?
I didn't see that inspired, I didn't see that.
Okay, well there is five men top, double TP, single TP from Varus.
single TP from Varus.
Same, just get the wig. Bitter. Yeah.
Actually TPed Terrier, so that's actually, oh my god. I think they would probably lose
It anyway early on with the call trying to bait in a little bit
And then they have the teleport as well from berserker the extra person across the map now
They're resetting for the dragon back down to this side inspired coming out of base
But berserker sticking mid for a little bit wanted to get that for poke
Bro, why does it keep doing this the audio doesn't change what the video does?
12 minutes in my crazy late for this first objective
Lion trying to challenge still dragging down to 2,500 a few chains of corruption
Big Whip there!
EA getting through the magical journey in time now Berserker down a very powerful team fight tool
Inspired in Berserker trying to see if his toe is still right there
Berserker trying to see if his arrow alongside inspired who jumps in with a combo
Oh my god that was such a good smite by his toe
It was a various cue that procs it so you can smite but he was faster
The early smites before but he actually combos
Now, same for real, it's better to slide things than to inspire others.
Yeah, I guess saying, goodness is mine.
Oh, it's fine. It's not gonna cool down.
Why do they...
Why do they get it so low?
So far between the junglers, even in their scorelines, 0-1-3 versus 1-1-3, his team is
coming out slightly ahead, but in their inventories, he didn't have to be in the next match.
He can also go edge of ninth against Bard, which is quite nice.
The smite as now, Dokla, again, with the Meganar, plus Wall of Combo into the turret.
He wasn't able to follow it up with boulder toss because the counter-strike threatened
to potentially stun him.
That could have been a nightmare scenario, so he backs away.
Dokla's still commanding about a 600 gold lead here in the top lane, 1v1.
Yeah, Dockland Berserker with their gold leads here, especially in the mid game, they need to try and get some value here with some poke.
Meanwhile, Saints side lane here...
Both ADC's made a gentleman's agreement to not play a major spot.
No, all the side lanes push for Lyon, they're gonna have some extra luxury on their resets as minions dying on both sides...
They shook hands before the game.
Big Dokes been doing a lot better this time around.
Big Dokes had a pretty good spike too with Trinity Force here with his defensive early items
In the steel caps and his Doran's helm too. So feeling very good
Dokela gonna have a nice power spike advantage over the Jax who does not have a fully completed Trinity Force
Should allow them some good setup on the sides Rifted out of course also should be their priority
Yeah, the game is slightly lying favorite nine goals. Not a big deal, but inspires up a level and Doke was up a level
Oh, oh, oh, yo, that was pretty well played with the lethal tempo stack.
Holy fuck, the lethal tempo 6 stack of Meganar just hits him in the face.
Big Dokes.
Better late than never, never bro, he's woken up.
Now if Team Sugar Whales lose this 4v4 here
Oh Histo has to... it didn't have flash
Oh if Histo had flash that would work
TP from Jax, TP from Dose
Oh my god, Doko has strong
Nice Farisolt.
If Zinzal had flash in that play and he flashed with the Orianna ball on top of Victor, it would have been a monster play.
But the Eden.
I think Gale is going to sweep this.
The Jax is behind, right? He's 1.2k down. The only way I think Team Ziggler Wales is ahead is with Jax.
Now I think Team Ziggler Wales is going to have to wait for Sigurd to have like 4 right and just have a chance.
flashes back in to finish the kill. Well played, Dokla, well played.
Look at live though, okay, so Punn has now ticked up to 11, so it's a straight up full
level game. I swear, I've seen Isles level 6 for like 10 minutes now. I swear to God.
Game number one, remember, St. had the biggest individual lead on the team. In this game,
it's been more of a struggle for him. We saw a couple of early laning mistakes that ended up
costing him a lot. He's the only one without a lead right now on the team. But even if St.'s
having a less impressive game, now Dokla's stepping up, we're in game number one. He was the one who
underestimated puns volleyball a little bit, but now he's got over a 1000 gold lead for himself
1000 gold lead for himself. So lying lying doing a good job making sure that even when one man
struggles another has to be to carry the slack. It's crazy. It seems to go. It was just force
rejections. Why is he going to be feels late already. A teleports coming in now. They immediately
want D Ray ready to join up for this. And I am not going to take the fight. Instead, they're
going to leave. They just sacrifice so much to get this early. I wanted out of it is trying to get
a summoner spell cooldown because there was no world where they were bringing
Dokla over as Saint does some decent damage chasing them off and defending the top side but
he got a lot of work done flowers I mean Dokla's all the way up to the secondary tower
and Berserker was able to flex over towards mid so that dragon priorities should just be
guaranteed for them they've got push and bot at both mid it's a god damn Dokla master class
It wouldn't be a lion wind without Isles getting cool.
Okay, I feel like that's a good sign.
Team Seeker Wales get themselves a nice punish on the enemy support.
Iles got lost on the timings there.
The timing window for Lyon was, you know, 10 seconds before that,
they were trying to pressure Soriyana.
But then everybody else backs off, you know,
inspires back into the jungle,
Dekla there, you know, back to the base.
It's a, that's just not a strong timer for Lyon to move up.
For a Zerker, it didn't flash.
Oh, yep, they're going in after Berserker now.
Now he did.
But there's no follow-up from anybody else.
The Rift Herald's already gonna be summoning...
Ten angle taken by the Herald, so no blunders once.
Tier one turret here does not the crust off of it gets a ton of damage
But it will not be able to fully secure the fourth plate the dragon is still alive
But it is still also a four thousand gold lead for lion as a team and doklat is back in pushing position here in the bottom lane
Yeah, let's now the audio is delayed mama deep in the jungle. It's just all over jungle camps. They don't care about the dragon right now
Inspired stepping up wants to steal the red buff away from his toe
Isles and VA also hanging around the junglers here and his toe will secure the red
He does have backup nearby Eddie and D-Ray try it's not me
People are closing in but Saint wants to try to clear out this top lane tier one Samuel flash
It's our cane start up you both use my same
D-Ray with the 1v1 punishes Saint
Lion to move up on it. I'll give a crash from D-Ray. He knows I can finish this
Sains cool down is not back up yet. He can't flash away and that's gonna change the map
You want to go for the tower in exchange for dragon
And they form and I think dangerous four members of PSW here to one
Oh nice Mikhail
He's tanky
Oh my god, Rihanna will aggro again
Oh, Dokes!
One before, one and out.
Wait, what?
Yo, that gnar is...
Okay, no flash checks. No flash bar.
Okay, not bad by Inspire, he trades his flash for two.
Meanwhile, it's just trying to scale
Dokes is two tanks on these dives
I think Orianna ran out of tower range and then got aggro with her fucking deathfiring
Why did she not run out of tower range far enough?
Deathfire torch
even with the mcales from b.a. and d-ray trying to go out of his side
he's told drops and we're gonna get him none
hey walk right past me i'm gonna finish you up and then still survive
and then aisles is able to keep the chase going you look at the minimap
they're on the way up through the river already the varus and the jarvin were
making their way
and if the replay is honest right there it looks like aisles actually had hex
teckels and made him if he would have cast that on pun potentially could have
been an extra kill there too but not the way it ended up going
still a four thousand gold lead here for lion and three thousand of it is on
dokla any fight dokla is in lion has the advantage but it's not a way to fight where he is not
they still have a really good shot at making something happen meanwhile saint has not been at
this game and so they're keeping him in the split push on side where everybody is hovering through
it's mostly on gnar just get fed buddy lion have lion have full vision through this jungle
Everybody watching defending here, and they allow the victor to get up to the turret plate
Hit it a little bit get another meaning that gets full tower over the Baron as well
So they're still trying to keep Saints income at a very stable right here
Who plays up the series?
At this series is T1 vs G2
You know punish him a lot when his flash is not available
Yep
And meanwhile the bottom split push has gotten up to the tower
So now it's safe for Saint to go collect that wave as well as Plum gets it there
And he does that as teleport for saying here, so he rides in time for the cannon. No problem
I'm still trying to get away from level 15. What the fuck I'm blind
It's a little bit to be made to be made to be dark and stormy. Oh my god
My eyes going in slows him down with a hextech. There's the ultimatum and pun gets blasted by the power side
Talk about more money in the same now. Yeah, he wants to set up
But there's no one here. He's by himself only on the cameo now
What the fuck is this?
Oh my god.
Now that is Sally Bard right there.
That is Sally Bard.
That is, that is, that is insane.
They just did that.
How did Top Esports, you know what they're like?
Like even in some strange world like pre-nerfs, I still don't think that was good, but also with the nerfs on damage. Yeah
Well, I don't take that. Yep. I think you take that seven days of the week
My friend five and a half thousand gold lead for lion as once again
It's the bottom lane being pressured by lion solo laners
Never mind push now, and you know here to ask questions getting that kill there on the pond
He now also is at parody with D-Ray even though it hasn't been Saints best someone must have
like got an edgy witch on fucking poppy's words or some shit
maybe it was a scuttle crab maybe it was cursed
edge of night virus
I think Varus is so... you know, he's so untouchable.
Steal it.
Narr is pushing bot 32, and Jax is flanking the mid wave with Barden base.
Jax is still flanking the mid wave.
But this is a flash-up edge of life.
Punn cannot quite get that angle he was looking for on berserker instead loses over half of his HP and immediately has to disengage with a leap strike
Meanwhile, Dokla is still positioned in the bottom lane
He took the tier 2 and backed off out of vision
But now he's being appeared seeing that punn got chunked out over in mid
Yeah, because big dope's got such a good lead in the side lane and TSW don't have a side lane advantage this game
It just it's so difficult. Oh, and he gets told Cataclysm immediately
They get super flashed
Change of corruption, fly out, Eddie has to flash away just to stay alive.
Pun escaping down here in the valley and as RTA is nearby,
might try to wait until a game is over and there's a potential punish on the Dohkla,
but it's so hard to do.
Yeah, I mean, tier 7 again, it's really hard to operate since they don't have a side lane.
Oh, inspire, and Ios and St. going in here after D-Ray.
RTA's on board the flash, and they're in for Faye!
Oh, no, he's locked up his own midlaner with the grab.
Oh, and Mikael saved.
Okay, gobless.
He actually saved him.
He was going to die to the burns, I think.
Yeah Ignite, Deathfire, Touch and Blackfire Torch on him, I think he might have died.
Massive save.
W Bard.
Yeah, you're right.
I think when Zinzal bases here, Orianna can't just walk up after Zinzal bases, that is
criminal.
Yeah, he has Ignite and Deathfire Torch taken, he's dead for sure.
Yes, he's 100% dead if that bar doesn't hit him
Actually, it's a giga save
Holy shit
Teamflight
They have vision coverage to make those approaches even get a haircut in Korea. No my hair. It's like a fucking bird's nest right now
It's crazy. You got a full send on one side, you know pick an area just overload that side with multiple members
You maybe if you have to drop waves to do it. Okay, whatever
You're gonna have to create some
Something special here even without the pressure of the dragon soul being very early on in this game
Which gives TSW more time to work with
I'll cut though nice different fate I'll could be a bit of danger here, but instead he gets himself away now
Teleport coming in everybody on TV here. They need to do something
Maybe five south of change the corrupt and find the target on the pond his toe wants to die towards safe
He stays alive here for the Seekers arm guard
Pun wants to get away over the wall has to flash to do it his toe trapped inside the cataclysm
But no damage from lying. Wow. They got nothing there. I mean they got summoners, right? But they didn't get a kill
But it's lying. I thought they would get a kill there. I wonder if don't I should have just kept chasing with inspired
We're gonna make the call to do it. They're gonna pull Baron here. So start lesion with st. Having his teleport back
Let's see about the contest is this where TSO Baron pull out the miracle, but it's an easy mariana
So we'll take that
Yet again be very low don't grab the kill now plunge the next target again looking for a way out leave
Strike back. Oh, that's a nice cause be finding a mind a little bit of time. Oh, Mikael's magical journey and lion does not
I'm gonna continue the chase so just a one kill play for lion but again pun so gravely injured
He cannot participate in another fight. There's no silver Altie. There's no how do you make Camille go back top instead of support?
And lion has it in there so you remove Sunner sky and bring back divine Sunderer
CC to turn off of the Baron so I was gonna stand watch here as
It returns the Baron should be secured quite easily for them
Let's see about okay, so they actually sent saying all the way down to to take care of the minion wave since they have
Absolutely, zero. I don't know that the vines under right them a sober
To be honest you can stay what they want. They're not gonna lie
To keep them here well the rest of them
Why okay temperate has locked up his toe and saying I'll come in here with a hook shot
Oh, great varicent.
I feel like Team Cigar Wales look all over the face.
But I do think Lyon is a team that is very like name accurate.
They will run at you, they will fight you, and they will not stop fighting you until the game ends, whether they're 10k down or 10k out, they will just run at you.
I kinda like watching them a lot. They always have high kills. They just run at you. They don't do dragons, they don't stack, they don't slow play. They just run at you.
And I think it caught BLG a little bit off guard, even though BLG is reopened.
I think it did catch some off guard.
I remember a wolf's fight where BLG was like 5k and then it got caught in stunlock.
Oh god.
If TSW really about to get 3-0, what the fuck happened to top esports?
But I do think they have weaknesses. Sainz just looks way too cocky early.
Dockla, this was his best game of the tournament, but definitely a little bit inconsistent, and Iles is the CEO of getting caught.
Soft can test give up two tier choose like lion gets two tier choose off that
They're just so good
They've been so good in these first two games of funneling gold into their carries through just playing the map better
Let's talk about big dope
What a gnar performance straight cause wow
I have no idea how
But who cares it was good for Doku added to the month
I was watching Zin stepped out and then the old burn from the blackfire torch
Reacquired the Oriana to get the kill. He would have had the defense anyway
And they would have still been up in tempo the entire time
So to Emily's point like even if they're not winning fights in a big way
They always wonder where a pestle is gonna go next
I wonder where he's gonna go predicts to win here, but and I do have to say
um sometimes their decision-making has been puzzling to say the least right i
think beyond this bard feeling pressure to make the moves and making them
continue tracal seems tilted when n a wing the games no definitely not for
their teeth over over over which all made i think that lion had a really really
comfortable time yeah and we've talked about how strong tsw can be in the early
uh in the early to mid game especially mid game with their setups i want to go
over a mid-game fight from Lyon that I thought was really, really good in terms of how they're
playing around Dokla's gnar. So as we pick it up here, I want people to pay attention to the actual
gnar bar. It's a little bit difficult to see. However, as we play through, because basically,
they think they're- K2 and a 1v3, what you're gonna do? Start eating? What? What are you saying?
this brush however I love the way that they play around Dokla's
Narbar rage usage right so he's going to as we play through the clip he is going
to end up hitting Meganar here and just stalling so much time like punn goes in
they take magical journey in pause here we have two TP's coming in but look at
how far away the Orianna TP is compared to Berserker.
And then again, keep your eyes on it ticks literally five
seconds, the last usage as we play through.
Dokla creates so much time in this fight for everyone
to get here.
Berserker TP's in, picks up the double kill here.
Absolutely huge, especially after they were already just
funneling turret gold into him.
Yeah, and it's just the slimmest of margins.
Because it was already a good situation.
The team play of line means that was always gonna be a good play the TP from a circuit
Have you noticed that more play-by-play casters are appearing on the analysis?
My pickings are torched I don't even remember what my pickings were here
I'm in top 16%
But I got so many wrong though.
I got H3 to beat BLG which hopes me if they win I'll get some points.
Oh my god my whole lower bracket run I put BLG, I'm only going to get points if T1 make
to heal. I put T1 through a lower bracket run, but not this early. Oh my god. Actually,
Tess just cooked my ass, not gonna lie.
I think it's so valid. Do you really had I don't think there's any perfect pickings really struggled
But they initially set him up for success and I think this is a guy. I don't know
There's any perfect pickings is there like the Orianna which was surprising that it got left to draft clearly has
Elevated that performance that we were kind of missing internationally in the last few events and can especially against a saint who's sometimes
Oh my god, there is be the one to make the there's actually quite a lot of perfect pickings left
I think they need to get it. They need to be a little more careful in which fights they start and I think they need to stop
This dude has perfect pickings
You cannot be getting certain objectives but letting Lyon get all the other gold on the map consistently
It's a recipe for disaster
He has Team Secret Wales to beat Lyon, so
They continue to play
He's cooked or?
I mean I was actually worried that they were going to continue to like
Game 1 we gotta play Pykemel guys, like that's what
This guy has perfect pickings
We're gonna be playing 2-1.
He has A-Chelita beat BLG.
T wants BG2, Lyon to beat Team Ziggler Wales.
T wants to beat Lyon.
And then T wants to beat BLG and lose to A-T in the finals.
Ooh, this could work, you know.
This is actually like...
Exactly what they've been doing.
They say we got miss hit, so we're up for a miss.
Wow, there's actually quite a lot of...
Okay, this guy might actually hit the script.
To me, Saint, whatever he gives you in game one is what he gives you for the series.
Okay, so he's been good enough. Alright, I was talking about Dokla, but it's all good
Let's see if let's see if line can bring this home in a three and zero fashion or if another reverse sweep is on the horizon
The T1 BLG lower bracket game.
If it's a 3-0 either way, this MSI sucks.
It needs to be 5 games.
Bro, this NSI is like...
Like if Lion 3-0 Team Secret Wales here, and then like T1 3-0 G2,
and then T1 3-0 Lion, then what?
Then what?
We have 3 teams that can fucking fight?
Or what?
Are we dead ass? What happened?
Last year we had CFO fighting, we had FlyQuest taking BLG to 5 games, we had AL competing,
You wanna Gen G fucking fight until the death?
What the hell happened?
We need to bring back Atakan!
Or what?
Was that the deciding factor to flip the game?
Did Atakan allow us to win games?
Has everyone got mind controlled by it?
We need more objectives to decide the game on a 50-50.
I need to bring back LR.
Uh, do we?
E. E. E. E. D.
UHH.
Bum.
No, definitely not.
But bring back practicum.
in eSports legendary moments command speed scale up in the soul players and fans bring
the heart technology brings it to life every frame every stat every decisive play in partnership
with league of legends eSports we are driving digital innovation that empowers the eSports
bro it's crazy to me that i show speed was opposite messy distracting him and messy
missed the penalty. That is the craziest shit ever.
What is this?
Bro, what is this?
Rinsuke today. The perfect game for a long new game.
Wait, are they just saying that their game is literally a second screen game?
And that's why you should play it? Is that their whole marketing tool?
Hey, you like playing games. Here's a game you like playing, you might recognize.
Here's our game. Here's your second screen, that's us.
They've just fully embraced the second screen gameplay.
I cannot rate that, I cannot rate that.
CT.
How is OSRS a second-screen game?
Bro, because you have to fucking grind forever.
It takes forever.
Doesn't it take like literally for-
Okay, guys, it is 2-0 right now.
Lion is leading at one game away from codifying and I found some lion Korean fun
Hello, what's your name?
What is your name? My name is Brian. All right.
My name is Im So-Hye.
Lion has been playing really well so far. I'm confused for a second there. We'll have this happen.
They're doing really good. I mean, I'm actually
I am here for a team won but I am also cheering for a team.
Who are you cheering for? Who is the best player?
I am a fan of Berserker. He is so good.
I guess I'll cheer for Saints right now.
Can you show me your side?
Yeah, Berserker fans here. Do you think they can 3-0?
Possibly, yes.
From Brandon's fucking chilling.
Oh, it's Brian. Oh, not Brandon, Brian.
I'm digging of Jose Dio, though.
Alright, let's get it.
the strategy of counter pick for pun has lost its magic it has it has lost its
magic these second pick the second pick draft last pick top is not working at
all already at match point I mean give somebody just getting ran danger of
getting running straight out MSI now yep Bollywood bin made a movie out of
Bollywood bin, what's that?
Hey, nice art!
Looks like a rat though.
Double you, rats.
Alright, Orianna's finally out.
Rumble is still in.
Ryze Casio out.
Jorick, Vi out.
Maybe they're trusting big dokes on a Jayce first pick here.
I would be careful of...
Oh my god, they're doubling down on the Jace.
I would be careful of Nocturne
if Jace does get banned.
They banned Nell.
Okay, that makes me wonder if they're going like Ash Seraphine or Ari.
But these bans are Jace, surely.
Dokes is gonna get his Jace.
very very scary from him so let's see he could still have uh you know some more some more
oh they take the nocturne over the jace yeah this is a dangerous champ nocturne if you play jace
because if you play until like sion nocturne and it is gang top it's it's kind of
the um yorick then the jace was also always the response but that's a playable jace up here
without the yorick answer possibilities right cake in the lease oh my god
First mission
Well, Jin is open
Ziggs is open. Why wouldn't you just play Ziggs here? Like Ziggs rel
Ziggs
Leona
Surely Ziggs anything here is great
Spriest fuck Ziggs seven. Okay, shut your bitch ass up
this is such a humble I've gone I'm guessing teams in your way also play
Sion or Malfight unless they drop top here and pick like a mid or a
jungler because they have Sion Malfight I guess what's the third
and the Olaf already gone, they're going to go with it, and Princess Fyne, I will take the tank, match up, side into it, even with the nerfed Sion.
That nerfed Sion though, for anybody who might have turned away, with that long-distance, the members are just here on the beat, so far here at MSI.
But if it's a trio, wrap it up, it means we get into GPT1 faster.
People in League of Legends have been squished into an itty bitty little Smashburger now. He is not doing anything, and Pawn is now going to have to change that trajectory.
trajectory to keep TSW in the tournament. Okay, I think the leverage TSW have right now is bottom
one. Shen Ben, okay, so the target thing, Isles. I think he has enough though. Isles has Shen,
Rell, Leona, and he doesn't have Pyke, that champ should be Ben from being picked.
you know type of split map go for dies on it
lion bands, i mean nicking band
pantheon, not pantheon, mookong maybe
mookong is okay
akali is okay, yeah, yeah
everything towards the bottom half of the map
interesting that for mid lane
they could also flex six mid and just pick a bot lane
but i don't really know what bot lane you want
other than maybe like azir, rakhan or some shit
i think it puts more focus towards aurora, akali, ammy
these types of mid lane champions a lot of these playmaker uh mid lane champions are
zindra ban zindra well no longer a column
lion beside they do not want to deal with that what did we ban that one away
saint zindra was fucking ass what are they playing so one more ban
year before we get into our second half casios bans
does are they playing like arian four that mid lane pool silas zindra out
I
Think Yone is pretty good with the bends in the game right now
Yeah, I think Yone is pretty powerful
The theory will come both good. Yeah
where he can be a very good that makes sense of the syndrome and he can make
aria scoots all those ones bro i feel like line's comp is so good you can put
it with a yoni you can put it with an aria you can put it with fucking
anything i just hope he picks rel or leona is a very comfortable maybe rel better so he might
take that side and then like the a word because at least rel can w buffer a least cocoon right
but let's see about it gonna have to be the blinds okay also israel i do like it's pretty good
isn't it? That's like my head. The last thing I want here is Pyke. Just don't pick Pyke, whatever you
do. You could play Poppy support here as well if you want. No joke. Into Elise, Nathuri. It's
also fine. Just not Pyke, whatever you do. Yeah, Rell's the best I think.
Leblanc. I don't think there's anything teams are going to pick. I feel like Lion's Draft is
fucking broken isn't it? Oh my god! My mouse?
I'm not gonna lie, MazaHara's trash here, don't dig it.
Oh god, Vex is on the intentional stage, I've cursed my brain.
Vex into Ari, I mean, Vex is good into dashing champs.
I'm not a huge fan of the Vex pick, unless it's like a secretly a Vex one trick or something.
I'm not sure about the Vex.
are the possibilities of the fear and your dashes, dashes counter here for the Vex.
It can follow up on some deep plays and we'll see about the combination with the Nefiri here
if they are able to get some of those bursty plays. Is LeSandra bad there? No, LeSandra's
pretty good there actually. I think, you know, especially in international plays that works
well with Kate, Elise, Wotol in the theory. He's been a Vex main since 2015 and has 100%
win rate on Vex. Okay. Okay. I think Nocturne into Vex is kind of annoying for Vex though.
can use it does often you know get picked on a bit so the bex was released in 2016 secret
whales is a lack of reliable engage you have scion they can try to get the big ulti in there but
that gives you a huge warning sign right actually can't go she was released in 2016 because um i
studied london for the last three years okay so i feel like for team secret she was released in 2021
what the fuck is a sass in mid with this am i just old or what with this lack of the engaged
potential because if the game is behind I feel like it's going to be harder to
try and out for five years how at least support can fall off
really hard if this champion starts to fall behind the pace of the game
so the pressure is on team secret whales to have a solid early game
nice w start from saint pops his w moves up into the skill shot ahead of the
skill shot so he can get his trade there get his
electrocute to proc and avoid the early vex attempt at a
COVID was 20 years ago. Can you do it?
All right, Dokes back on the chase.
Do we have drops? Yeah, if you sub, you get a drop.
area to play off of and see if they can use it leverage this to get themselves back into
the series. The combinations are very powerful from this setup and especially since they
have full vision of Inspire back to the way for them to come back.
They know that they are now free.
Make sense that the matchup will be good.
Alright, Sane's got the mid lane pushed up here as well and you can see with our junglers
once again it's like game two starting off on their own respective red quadrants so they
We'll be passing towards opposite sides of the rift here early on and with the inspire just did three camps into bot on
The same thing in game number two
He drives on aisles. He wants to look for the opportunity
The eddy well inspired game is absolutely cooked if they get nothing here
I've never okay. Actually. I have seen something more degenerate than this. I remember I
That's what I say, really good response from him.
You know what, Katelyn Elyseer?
And actually wasted decent manners by the time he started the fight.
You know, they got a very good moment in the fight about the mill.
And in the end, yes, you do have to burn your fashions, Katelyn.
You can't look at the flash, you can't look at the flash, you can't look at the flash.
But I still think, you know, wasting some of this Nocturne.
That was the craziest shit ever.
And the Nocturne is going to be, again, missing two outside camps from topside camps.
And we'll see how smoothly inspired can recover his experience on this nocturne
And it gives his toe on nefiri who's a champion
What do you mean gank is worth got a flash they traded flashes it's not got it's a trade
Onside scuttle crab again last time around he went through mid lane and got a successful gank, but
This time we'll see what he can do with it
All right doklah with control over the top lane as you would expect in the early jace versus scion puns job is to not fall
Ah, bot dive?
Uh, I'm sorry, the wave is, uh, ah, trap? No flash?
Oh, nice mechanics from Jason.
Alarm! Alarm!
Wait a minute, now, wait a minute, now hold up a second.
Big dokes? You don't have much mana though, and he's gonna level up to 5 on the cannon.
the opener here and just waiting for him to pull the wave. The wave won't freeze too much I think.
The tower dive when you have both Nefiri and Elise flowers, you have very easy ways of avoiding
all tower damage and they even did it themselves. I think Brazorka needs the gold for lost trap to
the team. Or is he going to go all time later. Nice QE goads. He does have a biscuit though,
Be careful
Yeah
is also here, D-Ray gets a nice little chunk of damage onto Sainte, but since both supports are nearby, they can't try to make anything further out of it.
Also, you always like getting fed when you're the jungler, but especially when you're an assassin jungler, getting that first blood really feels so much better.
We're rooting for NA. Yeah, I kinda wanna see Lyon vs T1 or G2, that's gonna slam.
Yeah, and so inspired, again, you see him on the meme right now.
Well, for servers to level up.
He just clears the bottom ones, go for the recall again for another purchase, and try and get back out there.
and try and get back out there.
Here's where he's talking pulled back ahead.
And he's actually using this time.
Look, he wants to punish on this way.
The way this crash is now.
He's the head down.
He doesn't finish his clear.
Drops his gromp to make it happen.
Yup, there's the flash cocoon in the edge buffered by Isle.
As he and Berserker have to try to keep the difference.
Get the flash still available here.
He's just going to work.
Berserker's staying alive for now.
He's going to the statue, trying to push away.
Oh my god.
Oh no!
Isle!
He's going to the die!
As Lion from the play around, and they're looking
How did Berserker live?
Inspired is being a greedy rat here, he's doing the thing where he's like, IELTS FOLLOW
ME!
And so IELTS follows him, and if he dies IELTS is hot, but I think they got the grump
they're out but they don't get the crab so it's like
jungler inspired walks his way down and uh i mean that completely turns everything
berserker held on to his satchetton nice dokes yo poking up here for real
we're cutting back through the lane and then as you say
isles a little next series we have to go no no no you wanted to finish off the kill and then
W back out of the tower aggro, but couldn't get the last little bit of damage, goes down.
Nicely done, nicely done.
And this is one of the things that you always look out for for teams that are so dominant
in their region.
Team Secret Wales really just ran the LZP in the ring split, and they have a sign that
says when does Gen G play.
They were qualified before they even hit the play-off here for MSI.
And that's what always is the question for fans of these regions.
Can you hang with other top competitors from around the world?
Maybe the LCP, the enemy jungler won't read you like that, but here at MSI, Inspired, knew what to do.
Yeah, and maybe TES and TN won't.
Maybe they didn't know, because they already know.
Okay, Perseveral no flash, Nefiri has a... is it just a time to tick bot and pretzled on...
You know, remain proud, even if they have 3-0 here by Lyon, TSW being able to take that historic Vesta 5
versus an LPL team for themselves huge I already see I already saw all rumors that
top esports is changing their roster or they're looking at a new support also
are the most hilarious moments I can't remember who it was but I think they were
looking at some very good accomplishments of course being a very young
roster too as we've run over some of the ages especially his tail himself only 18
years old and we'll see as far as this game too because that definitely doesn't
You know, completely make the entire game, Lyon here,
it's a lot of work to do.
Exactly, it's still a very close game.
We're only a couple hundred gold a part.
A big part of that lead is of course the top lane.
Dokela up a couple of waves over pun,
which again is what you want to see from the Jays.
Sion's job is survival.
He's supposed to try to keep things as close as possible.
For LPL team, swap supports and jungles every like second week.
Lyon is going to feel about the way the top lane worked out.
As you can see now, we've flip flopped things.
It's Eddie and BA up here on the top side.
Answering doklah as the grubs are started, but none of those ugly little dudes are gonna down
Sion has no actually inspired and berserkertran and back
But he is roaming up here
He's still also around
As the first guy is smited down by the secret whales jungler
The second one should be controlled here by inspired and doklah
No smites now
Oh my god, Darae
My D-Ray goes over the wall, they're looking to make some sort of a play
But no, the charm into the crash down
Out of the wall goes the enemy midlaner, but Lyon haunts him down
He's Fireflash, he's dope, gets the reset.
What, did he get cancelled as a result on IZ or what?
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
Wait, cocoon? Wait, cocoon? Wait, look, like a cocoon.
Doka just flash stole the crab.
And he one shot three of them. What the fuck?
Is Doka a man possessed?
He played for a spin and now he absorbed his solar what?
Double kill for Sion, what the?
The river is littered with corpses, and one drop still stands!
And humongous doke swings his hammer!
He just flash hammerformed on the tree and stole the Scuttle!
I respected. I respected.
I respected.
Went in doubt, tried to hit his combo, but then the Vex is going to have to flash out
So Vex flashes out, Inspire follows, kills, and then what happens in Aetherialt here?
Because he ult's inspired, kills inspired, and then ult's again, but oh, he gets stunned by Rael Q.
Oh, Dokler really wants that shuttle.
In the air he was like for blabber.
Boom!
Yo, why'd they go 12? They go fast! I wanted to see it in slow-mo.
on the turn there, from Lyme.
It's crazy, the jungle too.
Iles also goes down, so Doku and Iles also both going down there in that re-engage,
and then the teleport also being used to get back out from D.R.A.B.
since he had respawn.
Respect flash there, wow.
The fights just go so long in these ones, flowers.
Even the recaps are incredibly long.
And as we get back to Lyme, you can see a little bit of a nervous flash there from Berserker.
Yeah, very nervous.
He had used the cocoon, but Berserker's still flashing away.
So, uh, at least they get some value there from BA in the bottom lane with the...
Not gonna lie, Sion being 3-0 is pretty great for Team Zagarels,
because then again, we're back to Dokla losing into a Sionist chase.
And this time it's not really his fault.
Sion will 1,000 gold lead overall after that massive battle in the river.
Vex ulti, not enough distance to find Dokla.
This guy is not a Vex main.
Nope. This is not a Vex main.
Hell, gnar.
Are we for real?
What the f***?
That's a spectator bug, I think it's Ult at his flash.
Holy shit, Inspired is angry.
That was really well played. He Ulted, forced the Fury W, held his Ult into his flash, or jumped on it. Like what?
He smurfed that.
You know what we're missing from this MSI? We're missing...
Replays from POVs.
I wanna watch the replay from inspired POVs.
I wanna watch the replay from this person's POVs.
Why can't I get that?
If I can't get ProView, just give us replays with their perspective.
Yes sir, nearly a 2000 gold lead. We still haven't fought for the first Drake. Last time I said, this is a slow first objective down here in the bottom half of the map.
LCK has it. Now we're 30 seconds past that. LCK has respect for it. It has not begun. You can see a lot of vision being placed in this bottom side river. You can see a lot of players from both sides heading towards the area as BA will go ahead and pull the Drake out of the pit but doesn't want to stick around any longer.
Iles critically has level six on this rail even if BA had level six remember
It's just not as impactful on a lease as it is on champions with standard ultimates
So very much team secret whales is going to have to show respect towards Lyon and their engaged potential
It's what I was talking about back at the end of the draft how the engage is a bit lacking for team secret whales unless punn can
Find a massive unstoppable onslaught right now punn is trapped in the top lane against doklah
He has no teleport and doklah is continually putting the pressure onto the turret
it's crazy to me the trade is up get that's her play money and farm as much
as you can we do I am just ignore it they just pretend it's not their house is
by himself but he's not really by himself because nocturne can ultimate they
just think in Roman as well okay I'll jump it in look at it make the play
here on that enemy job the job BA losing half HP drops his ignite on the
Now, great series from Lyon, for real.
I'll try to inspire them, if you can see that.
I think great series from D.O.A.K.E. so far.
The runnig in the body bar was rough, but...
Do we do Dragon and take Bot Tier 1?
Or do we send Iles into enemy red and just start to fight?
I mean, it's a no brainer, right?
Wait, if they win this at a top 4?
HLE BLG
What the?
He looks very close, flowers.
That horizon is getting closer and closer and closer with the gold lead.
Of course the dragon is picked up by TSW and they do get the compensation on the other side of the map,
but Doklaa continuing to push.
He gets hit by the ulti plus the full charge decimating smash.
It's a crime.
Oh, he penciled him.
Doklaa can flash, he's out.
Cable doesn't want to chase him, Dokla, force the plush in the spot.
Eddie chases in, he wants the kill under Dokla, he doesn't have the vision here, just gets the ace in the hole.
Mama!
Show respect to Eddie.
Nostinals was used to try and cover him.
This fight was just out of range, too.
Nostra, you can see, was so close and just as his...
The fact that we did not get Lion vs. G2 is a crime.
Fix your game, it's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime.
But, it's such a crime.
It's okay. Yeah, we're a little bit of a oopsie up there
Oh, but maybe we will maybe we will DSW. Let's see if DSW can cook with that
Maybe we will you're right recovering that gold lead, but just make it rounds one
Hey, they're from team secret. Yeah, but inspired in meantime has taken the rift here
We'll see what value lion can get out of that one as our supports just continue trading back and forth here
It's Isles the only one on the map without his support. No, we didn't I don't remember what we talked about
We did not already have any verse a I do not remember seeing any verse play against you too. I didn't see that
She do have some pain in the nation. I don't know what's on about using a summoner spell just for a half HP chunk doesn't feel great
All right, I mean the money also did go into Eddie so yeah very actually
Killed that he's able to get there
I'm the first to chase down
Not in Europe has one you see generally hex optics going to be the go-to play for 80 carries
But this will make Eddie very deadly towards squishy targets. Yeah, and basically everybody
Squishy on the enemy team
We've got a big overload on top side full five members of TSW up on the top side of the map
And don't get caught the bottom half
So if they are unsuccessful in
There's a big
Back off here in the fog and then signaled under the Jason over I was whereabouts and it would be quite funny
It's just gonna be a sacrifice from there. They're not gonna do it. It's a swing into miss flowers
You know there they're feeling the pressure and their hope was there a little bit get something but in the end
It's very costly. Yeah, not quite there and it just means that instead
It's their tier one turret falling in the bottom lane as Saint was just pushing up without being answered
And remember when Ziggs is on the team turrets are not what they normally are the satchel makes it so easy
To just knock these structures over so berserkers gonna secure the tier one over in mid and lion is back up to a
3000 gold leaf and it's the map control is also
There's no way we're just watching a trio for what the fuck I mean
It's always nice to get all the gold and you know first-hour bonus you go with transitive property or is that the word transitive?
but also when you have this much damage and teams like Wales got 3-0ed by Lyon
and teams like Wales 3-1ed Top Esports and G2 3-2 Top Esports
so teams like Wales they better get Sassan G2 and then Lyon destroy teams like Wales
so we can't do any transitive thoughts that's not enough
because G2 would have wants to break them in the first place
Where's the damage bro? What the fuck is this?
How bad is Vex him?
I know he had such a low vision, but he didn't even use lucky.
The last time I saw Vex was 100 beats quid. Oh my god, my eyes.
that you're talking about the whole map goes dark and all you see coming after you is a knock turn and a mega
Inferno bomb D-Ray just blasted off the rift and you just cruise on through you like the well
He walks up and smites it away from his though
They can take out some of this vision as well TSW trying to get back to their towers trying to
Defend what little territory they have left as after that knocked on ultimate line
Just take over their jungle and you can see it's a thousand gold lead in both solo lanes for lion
It's a 2,000 gold lead in the jungle really the one who might have a chance to carry here for team secret Wales
Is you can change nationality? He's trying to become American, but they've already knocked down the tier two
Trying to find an angle there onto that Caitlyn won't quite get it
But the Herald nearly takes three plates off the tier three
flank flank flank from side here okay pun trying to cut off the escape is this a nothing burger or is
this the comeback start decimating smash flash away coming out from the nocturne oh my god he
begs jumps in the back line and inspires gonna be so wait back to me so nice flash for zarker but
he's dead for the flashing from pun teams in the miles are gonna find two shuddering in three
seconds that is exactly i don't think they can do baron though csw they choose their moment pun
They used every flash they had to get two kills.
I guess B.A. has flashed.
The drake isn't even an objective bounty because Lyon doesn't take drakes, so it doesn't contribute
to objective bounties.
So they're 4-5k up, but because they have zero drakes there's no objective bounties.
walks out the fear that are doing so inspired has to flash and use his
spell shield so early that the fall there this Drake is just fucking useless
Vex combination that we've been looking for does find its kill they get not only
the kill man be jungler but also the shut down on the berserker and Matt is so
much needed money for TSW and they get the kill man and that's Drake's they're never
gonna get effective on this game even if they're like 6k down and getting some
money back in so much needed places.
And even though this gold lead is 4,000,
we should really evaluate things based on the items instead.
And you're seeing equally completed items
in lots of positions, right?
Two in the jungle, two in the mid lane, two in the carry
roll, two in the top side.
Team Secret Whales are matching Lyon
in terms of the actual power that they
have in their inventories.
And that means that there's still
chances for the Whales to continue to fight.
I'm watching you on TV, and my mom just
said you sound like Homer Simpson.
The side lanes may be a little bit dangerous for them.
They also are not afraid of just full sending five people to his highlanding notes, they have been overloading
No one's ever sent out before
They have the combinations to chase people down
with the Vex and the Fury combo playing off of an Elise cocoon
that could be deadly, but they turn it!
Yup, and the fear goes in, he attaches the fear to the HISTO!
And the mega and the furrow goes nuclear, HISTO is out of there
35 seconds on the death timer, meanwhile Berserker doing what he's done
C.C. flashed it
K, no flashed C.C.
Chain CC?
I'll go in, okay
I'll stop inting
And communication maybe I was like could not keep track of the rotation over
From the Caitlyn as they're kind of hovering right behind that fairly tanky asylum gets locked up
And truck combination does take a bounce a TSW. They do answer a kill in the rotation even though
Kill Silen this game no one to punish his just get everyone else off the nefiri
From Lyon
They get another little kill back. Of course. You also lost the top tower
Ziggs is able to delete those very quick. Who is better? Isles or Keria?
Lions still progress the game for themselves.
Just uh...
Hey, no more Isles, Lender. He's gotten much better since the start of the year.
We will be kicking yourselves for every little bit of money that you've given back.
Exactly, you look back and say that's what we've been doing.
That's where we shouldn't have slipped.
It's still a 5,000 goal lead for Lion. Still a 2 Drake to nothing lead for Team Secret Whale.
Team Secret Whale, still two and a half minutes until that next one spawns.
Nocturnalty gets popped, but Inspired's not going to choose to go in.
Really the only thing that was in range was the Scion.
And look, Kobe, I'm not a pro player.
I've never been a pro player, but I think that full sending onto Scion
is generally not the strategy for winning a team fight.
So Lyon think the better of it.
Yeah, especially his toe up on this other side.
It was someone going to push that top wave on Lyon.
Like I'm tweaking with that top wave.
Call it off and, you know, he's got his X played as well for Inspired.
So, yeah, it's an octane ultimate, but it's ranked 2, and you have X-Play, so you have a decent amount of ultimate ability haste there to work with.
There's a lot of minions getting eaten up by the turret here in the top lane.
Sane's gonna walk on over and pick up some free money off of those.
It has 90 seconds until the next drake, but when you look at the map, there's no...
Drake is boarding in 130. It teams you, the whales, get it? It's soul point, internal soul point.
We'll lie on A, fight the drake, or B, pretend it doesn't exist.
trying to suss out one another's position and see if there's an angle for a play Iles tries to defense a crash down
Surely they find the break right estimating smash right pretty funny to see a level seven support here for Iles versus the level 15
Sion Iles certainly not worried about his own experience in this one
I mean even if you're looking at his counterpart the Elise the enemy support is a full two levels
But one and a half still be yeah, and of course when you are that low level in the game
Miles is going to get some good catch-up experience as long as he stays alive to soak it back so
As long as you're not dead it'll come through but yeah once he's going in if it's a full 5v5
It's probably going to be a one-way trip when you're that squishy
He doesn't least have the locket that he'll be able to pop you can see the 360 stacks on the tier in berserkers inventory
Also the double needlessly large rod just going straight for the hat instead of a seraph's embrace wants to make sure he's getting that maximum
damage here on the zigz as you do have gonna fight the drake
like close sort completed now for doklah as well there's a few items missing that
I think they would want like shadowflame, rabadons, but
15 seconds on the timer, shattering strike to immediately pop pun shield
bro J6 is so strong oh my god J6 is so disgusting
80% of his HP yeah that's a lot of extra damage I can allow Lion to push mid
they're actually face checking, ooh very dangerous here, 5-5 rush
TP. I'm not worried about BA playing Elise at 25 minutes in a fight. That guy's not going to be useful unless he gets a flash
Cakudon like Berserker
Pun is at maximum power here. Remember if Team Secret Wales gets this
They are going to go to stole point here with the drake stacking nice trap line being established by Eddie
It makes it very difficult for Lyon to try to fight this objective for the Wales
No, they're still 5,000. Look at Isles. They've got to be careful
Even if they have a good battlefield drawn up for themselves pun here
Just trying to zone everybody else away. The red lines just gonna keep open again
It's very slow team secret whales don't want to get ahead of themselves with this
Decimating smash hits only aisles
See in the Drake down below half HP inspired gonna go ahead pop the paranoia
What the fuck is I'm doing the eternal Drake is already secured by the fire
The sun just do his whole team run away. He went in lines completely shatter
they lose the objective and pun is left to pay the price and look even pro teams
go split directions during a nocturne ultimate pun in team rest of the team
out is poking around to see if they can do his team abandon him okay four people
click out he clicks in it's their fault
it's so hard because why and they have the nocturne ultimate and they're able to
Utilize these tools very effectively on that setup as well
Inspired continues to get more and more money and guess what with the abyssal mask here as well
6k down no objective on these
On his dive in I really like that atomization from inspired you can see here in your coin base gold grind
That's an over 2,000 gold lead for the nocturne over the nefiri 4 2 and 4 versus 1 5 and 3
inspired has had his toes number in this third game coin base and berserker is
about to get it there there okay that's kept done yeah he's got a hat yeah so
well berserker is pretty good.
Big Ziggs bomb.
Now Big Ziggs is going to be painful alright see about the push on the sidelines
so again lying here inspired always does a very good job while they're pushing
both sidelines you know keep his position in fog of war so that CSW have to kind
Second guess their moves and trying to get those sidelines pushing and then once again
You see they get the full priority these minions do put the extra pressure as well as the sidelines exist here guys
We've got to catch the sideline surely. It always makes it so comfortable
You've got plenty of vision through the jungle with your wards and then push up the extra minion line
Good to make group provision going to go as far as to hit the tower
They're giving a lot in bot and they're not able to engage. So this is just a problem else. They're engaging here
Come on though on some long time looking for inspired, but it's immediately blocked by the spell shield
Oh my god, it's a decimating smash VA repelling away from the mega inferno bomb puns still trying to stay alive
Absorbing some shots from both the game is so over by the way takes the turret down at the bottom lane at the same time
You're two dollars the pressure stays on
They have to turn here to go out free the orbit deception
Otherwise, this is gonna be a beat donkla coming around from the side
This chase has his last whisper now to eat us so much damage and he eats a shot blast
Lion continue moving forward. They aren't gonna find any kills, but they force team secret whales all the way back
I'll put the shattering strike on to his toe
But I'll just I think it does collapse more aggressively and lion back or he just kept pushing it would be so much better for
I'm walking up like hey, but again 7.5 K up
Like in a game like this
If you're 7k down with objective bounties, it might be worth to just 4-man bot kill Jace, get bot tier 1 and give Nash.
But there's no objective bounty, so that's kinda like...
It's just a weaker play.
Like here, I would love a 4-5 man bot pick and just give top side, and just get maybe a Drake cryo, objective-bounded Drake, bot's here, all of this.
Oh, god, they're bloody.
off the cocoon and finds no value there as inspired does not get caught out so
then doklah just grabs the red buff for himself team secret whales around this
bottom side river dragons somewhat alive for another 60 seconds and the whales
are forced to back away as lion moves in and TSW they cannot wait around and get
poked you can't wait around against this team and get poked and lose health bars
before you fully commit yes it's hard because you're so far down in gold that
Nocturne and the Jace are going to be really threatening, but you have to just split second, make the decision, go for it.
And you can see Inspired just hit level 16, max range paranoia.
I will say it's also, you don't need those games over dragons.
When the dragons are too near your favor, they don't wear near assault.
Oh my god, he just runs it out.
He just runs it off, but he just walks into the safety of the jungle.
Trade Nocturne Siloed, which is okay.
Nocturne is pretty low for that note.
Isle's also.
I also could be in some danger here defensive crash down breaks up get some away line of pick the drink
This is great strategy for the team to us keep the Drake and then get objective on this up here
Well, they should probably have to make sure you're right, but they look for side lane
they send people and try and get their pick but
Since Stokela didn't have to burn anything meaningful. No, it's the way it is. Wow. That's great
Pick up the next dragon to again with a 6.7 cable using the entire match the entire series
over another dragon when you already got the first two on the side of TSW so you
hope for a better look at it engage you hope for a better opportunity than
walking in blind into fog of war maybe you full send it more
G2 line we got G2 versus line nice and there's your comparison between the past
couple of games you can see this one's really close to like the exact same
trajectory as game number one which already ended multiple minutes ago
Game number two, of course, having a bigger spike as now immediately they try to go in with D-Ray
Where was the fear?
Did he die?
And the rest of the team from Secret Whales at least get inspired and trained
That's not bad for Secret Whales
It couldn't get out
But Lyon is still looking for more
Punn is chunked low
Oh my god, Saints, you are nasty
That was unreal
What a fucking snipe
Saint with the massive catch on that tanklet
That was vicious by Saints
Oh my god.
That was clean.
That's a little bit.
That was clean.
in lion making their way through the inhibitor it's still 15 seconds before
D-Ray is back alive BA and his toe trying to defend here in a 2v4 but the
nexus tourists are all ready falling BA with a repel trying to escape his toe
already below half HP lion made their way on the nexus it's over it's a lion trio
Yo, I will say great showing by Lyon.
Makes it to the top four.
Top four at MSI, Lyon now.
That's really good. That's impressive.
That means at minimum, they're just below HLE BLGT1.
It's just how big is that gap from HLE BLGT1 to everyone else.
I think that gap is fucking massive. We're about to find out what G2, because Lyon got planned by the LG.
Alright chat, it's time.
T1 vs G2, winner plays Lyon.
Winner plays Lyon.
Bro, Inspire just wins games.
Berserker back to North America, two former MVP.
Like, it sounds silly to say that,
but he just, he grabs you and he drags you
across the finish line.
He just wins games.
First FlyQuest now lying.
Different players just gets it done.
Don't forget FlyQuest last year at MSI.
They beat G2-3-0.
And then they went on to the next round against BLG
and lost in game five with that Seraphine mid-rimber.
And they would have been top 4 if they won that as well.
I think.
Oh no, Zilean sorry, not Tariffy.
The last couple of years of NA are pretty insane. They are off the back of Inspire as well though.
Lion winning with a clean except for the CLKC series, which we won't talk about that
Why did you take inspired what happens if we combined inspired and caps the last few years what would have happened
It's like when the Power Rangers make their Megazord why why does you take our fucking feet and hands?
Okay, now we've only got what like the chest in the head
All right, bend the spammer.
Yeah!
All right, put it up.
Where's my coffee?
Is lion good
Yes, they're good I
Would say lion
This the skill set they have that's closest the BLGA Chilean T1 is like just fucking team fighting bro
The thing with Lion is, they team fight you, they play the fights well, they lose, and
if they lose, or they win right, but if they lose against PLG, they will just respawn and
fucking run at you wherever you are on the map and start again.
They will just fight you again.
It's like insane.
And that's their macro.
Most people do like macro into fight, they do like fight into macro, fuck it.
And it's not even around drakes, which is the craziest thing, it's just on invades.
Or it's on dives.
I
G2 time
full lock in Berserker's low key carrying man you should have seen Berserker in DNF last
year oh my god it was like I felt so bad for him every day was a humiliation ritual it
was like I feel my opinion is if you put if you if you take a lot of if you take every
player in the world and you put them on the DNF roster and you make them live through
going on a 25 game lose streak and being like the laughing stock of the LCK. I actually think
it would end 70% of players' careers on the spot. The bounce back from Berserker is mental.
Breaking records, weak weekly basis on how fucking bad you're doing could ruin you.
The bounce pack is sick, I will say.
Like just look at his match history last year.
This is last year, Berserker.
Look at his match history.
This is what he's going to the studio for every day.
Every day.
And he's screaming and he's losing.
This is it.
And it doesn't matter which split I choose.
the same everywhere it's I know his winrate was across the whole year oh my
god man it was ridiculous let's contrast that to now hey we're so back
there's another spring split 66.7 his spring split winrate last year was 18%
Look at that. That's fucking crazy. I mean to be honest, I will say
After he left this year, it's only gotten worse. Oh
My god, yo, dude, it's gotten worse
DNS is on the worst loose streak at LCK history without him
Like if you if you if you if you only look at LCK, it's it's 3 to 34
The only wins they got were EWC and the first part of the year. That is good
We have angle with Ralsian.
Look good, play slow.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
It's here.
But it's here.
Play slow.
I'm getting a Zooty and W up.
But keep chasing slowly.
No, no, no, no, no!
Get down here!
Go, go, go, go!
Wow.
Kill the siren, we can end with the future siren.
That should be great.
We can end, I think, guys.
Yeah, if it's your siren, we can end.
Lyon will clean, sweep, teach the world!
We should stop for a moment and just take in what has happened.
Lyon just fucking...
They fucking blasted Team Seeker Wales.
Let's just make sure we understand that.
That was... that was a...
KIGA STONK!
Some teams don't want big dokes.
But some of the biggest NA international success in the last three years is from big dokes.
State I was in which game was which already involves big dogs very stressed that series
It's so any teams what the fuck is wrong with you game?
I was a little stressful since the way we wanted to team fight. He gets it done
Join up on that. I was like in the front when we're trying we should have just focus Lee
So that was a stressful moment of the bottom watch else. Yes, so maybe I'm just biased only watching national
Advantage going forward in most of these games
Is it crazy that you're guaranteed top four at MSI right now flowers said that during the any call
I was like wait a minute. Yeah, we are top four. Yeah, and then we talked about I'm like we business if we get like, you know
Do well
I'm gonna go to it. I'm gonna go talk to him now and see uh, you know if he holds up his end of the bargain
You're trying to get a little pressure a little hashtag business for doclah. That's how you do it
They don't reduce the top four prize money just because you didn't beat like
We're in a great spot. Yeah, doesn't matter how you made it
What matters is the fact that you here and the progression for me on the side of like on the from the first series
you've made into how you dominated some secret wells today? Scrims going better or is it just
nerves coming down? I think a bit of both. Scrims are still hard against the top teams, but nerves
for sure. I think we settled in on Sage. I think the first series against Sephiria. Scrims are still
hard. Just release the scrims. Definitely settling in for sure. And then I think we looked a lot more
comfortable in this game. But yeah, dude, yeah. Stats 16.7 CSD at 14. And not bad. It's like
Like, not that really good stats.
Yeah, I mean, I had some good matchups, so thank you, coaches.
Yeah, there you go.
Anything about the preparation coming in today?
No, I mean, this guy just played,
he played all off Volibear.
We were prepared for that,
and I kind of got bodied on the Volibear matchup.
I thought I could win it.
I think I just went a little too deep,
but I think we were prepared
in terms of what they were going to pick.
I mean, the Bex kind of threw us off,
but they didn't really do too much.
So other than that, I think we were prepared
for everything that we're going to play.
Yeah, I mean every series we played it's been a 3-0
Every series has been a 3-0 don't worry about two maybe a 3-1
It's every LCS series too because TL swept KC
Remember death to 3-0 MSI
We'll see the next series as well. I hope not or maybe our way. I don't know you're waiting for the opponent now
Yeah
Well, swimming T1 and swimming G2, I think T1 is much harder and they are willing to be chaotic and just fight all the time.
I feel like they actually train for that because the scrims look like that and it's just pure chaos and they thrive in that.
Hopefully, something similar happens on stage who is very entertaining.
This something I want to ask you, I mean you saying that you scrimmed just G2 and this G1 and that they're very different.
What was that in 2023 because I kept hearing in 23 that that G2 was like actually on the
level of these teams.
You feel like that's not the case for this MSI compared to the 2023 G2 that you also
managed to beat?
Yeah, memory-wise.
I mean, I felt like they were just as strong or I mean, I was just saying in terms of toppling
but I thought BB was really good at the time and it was really hard for me to...
Hey!
Hey.
Don't do that.
I was just saying in terms of top lane, I thought BB was really good at timing it, it was hard for me to...
Bro, the YouTube stream crashed or what?
I think the YouTube stream crashed.
I was just saying in terms of top lane, but...
That's crazy. Wait, let me open up soup.
Did they cut the info? They was about to say or what?
Wait, it's on Twitch, yeah, I know, but I'm in Korea, so I'm going to watch soup.
Hold on chat, sorry, it's the end of the sesc.
1080p.
Since 2019 it's been that long, we came close, I don't mess I in Chengdu but every
What the fuck is SD install HD install what the trend yeah it's it's a one game
Game MSI Rumble Stage Day 1, 22, I remember fondly.
That is what that is!
That's what I was really!
That's what I was really interested in.
What do you have to install in soup?
I'm not memorable, but the MSI Rumble Stage, yes.
That's where we really stake our claim.
Everything I bring up every time I talk about G2
is the number of, well,
Scrimming T1 and Scrimming G2, I think.
What do you say?
Something similar happens on stage
which is very entertaining, so watch.
This something I want to ask you.
I mean, you saying that you scrimmed this G2
and this G1 and that they're very...
G2 was like actually on G2 that you also mentioned, yeah memory-wise I mean I felt like they were just as strong or I mean
I was just thinking in terms of top lane but I thought BB was really good at the time and it was like uh
That's my strongest argument for top lane. It's like bro. It's not in the vault. It's
Because it broke. Sorry. I can't play with you
So I do think that's yo, it's the youtube stream just like bugs for lolly sports these days or what the fuck is this?
It hurts even more when even faker who's always the humble king comments
Chad, what's my backup stream if YouTube doesn't work and soup needs me to download something?
What's the backup stream?
Is this a real quote?
That's a quote from the trailer this morning
But I feel like that quote is just someone said yo-
You say something really spicy?
Well he accepted, you know, so like he stands by those words
Someone just told him to say it and he said it
Was it a North American producer and did they want to twist the knife on us in the fact that we always just bring up this one single year
I don't believe the Ghosts have that willingly.
Yeah, definitely not.
One thing that we want to look at though is that in this iteration of G2 that I still don't know what to make of
We're going to stop forcing the one-liners. We're going to let them come.
...butt lane champions and things.
On the important message.
...but when it comes to those mages on the bot lane
I'm not too sure that Hunts and Mavers' space is going to be a good story for G2, especially because space now also picked up the Jays bot lane, the Echo bot lane.
It's wild out there.
I think the big thing for me that I want your perspective on dole
PAYZE
Hunsummer
Cause I know Huns isn't comfortable on it
You saw the Seraphine was a little messy
I don't believe
Also by the way, if I watch
Let me check Chisazik
If I watch on like Chisazik as a backup
I mean I think it's very
Will I get ads?
Because even the support champs can also impact other lanes
If you have a mage you can just want me to the bot lane
And you're not gonna die
So your support can impact other lanes and really impact the map
And Keria likes to play like that
So having
Being able to play majors and play them well
like pace how do we avoid that is very important i think um draft will be a very big deal in terms of
now i can't watch on kick because i think kick streams on the amazon servers or are they gonna
try to match we don't know but i will say t1 they are cooking a lot more than they're
so that means i get 720 only if it goes this if it goes all the way i like to
But the Michelin star heal they had was enough bro!
I don't even know that it's a 7 course!
I know, there's been a lot of...
A bit of overreacting on this one...
Bro, someone linked me the LCK Global Stream on Tizik.
It's a backup bro, there's 5 viewers.
What do they think?
And his name is Softlord.
What the fuck?
If we get 20% I will be impressed.
I'll take it!
There's 5 people here?
I'll take it!
I guess they're all watching on a Western platform right?
Nooo!
That's not fair!
Hey, 25 will take that!
Do you like those ads?
What do you guys have though?
Ducla, what do you think?
I mean, I'm a T1 fan, so I'm gonna go T1, but I rest my case.
You don't want that, and if you rest your case, that's all it takes.
All right.
From Scrims.
I wanna be, I wanna, if we beat T1, you know, that's, that would be really much better.
Right, who would you rather beat?
G2 or T1?
Yeah.
