You just have to go back
I know you had the way I did you
You, what I couldn't do you
Why don't we go back to being here?
I
I want to start the fire, because I want to start the fire
Let's go live what we've been through, time is running out
I know this year is like I told you
You, what you couldn't do
Because we won't be together again
I'm yours, I'm yours
Yes, I know, I simply take care of your money
You shake the net up on me, can't tell you
Yeah, I'm a good boy, I'll recover out there
And I don't know where I'm gonna get what
I don't know how, but I don't know what I'm doing
The room is cold, when it's not cold
My head is already lost, just thinking about you
I don't know if you have a cure
To remove all this moisture, you just have to go back
I know you're like me, I told you

To take away all this moisture
You just have to come back
I know you have how I did it
You, what I couldn't do
Why don't we go back?
Cup where furia look to take on Sentinels and they're pouring some juice. They sell the cap on I don't know what's going on here
Is this a bit?
Feels like a bit. Yeah, there's gotta be some reason for this
We're just not in on the joke. That's the problem with the joke kids
Are they juice in Sentinels? A couple of ignorant North Americans here. We don't get the joke
They know that we're talking about them. Well, this is Sentinels the LCS representative
Look at their juice seriously. They got a backpack on maybe the juices in the backpack. Yeah, what's your favorite kind of juice is ill?
probably just orange juice I guess I don't know really drink you got to say it
probably man probably just orange juice orange yeah I love orange juice as well
although also big apple juice fan over here oh yeah classic just don't put
cranberry in front of me as long as it's not cranberry juice I'm right it's too
tangy you know too tangy yeah but welcome back baby palette
Hey, come on. I like to stick with the classics. I'm not talking about maybe it. What's I reach
old age? What's your age on the plum juice, the cranberry juice? Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure that's
classic and pretty juice. You know, you gotta, gotta, gotta get the gut work.
It helps. I hear, I hear it helps. I don't know if you're going to juice. No, no. Oh,
he's out of yourself, man. What was all that orange juice stuff about before? You were really
proud about it. Cause I was bullied into being proud. I gave the beer pressure, but never
game. We're going to have to
play the game over again. Never
again. All right. We're working
on the confidence over here.
Usually I'm the one getting
bullied. All right. We're
flipping the script today.
We're talking about America's
Cup, though. We've had a couple
of series already. Day one was
best of threes yesterday. We
saw a banger as they all five
games and C nine were much
it out and out today. We
get another CBL versus LCS
matchup this time at the
upper bracket. Exactly. Cod nine
intentionally losing their
Sentinels has to win so that we can then have the real top nine versus Furia one that counts
and I not to leak the script, but that means that I think Sentinels has to win today. So
that way tomorrow is another LCS C below. It is literally what I just said. Then a theory
would have to beat C nine again. No. So is C nine going to throw twice to keep it?
No, that's a question. Well, that's pretty much the way we need this. Let's take a look
at our prediction sports today. Yesterday I tried to reverse curse us and it worked.
So today I'm not going to do it. I'm just going to get three one, I think five, zero.
Oh, what? Yeah, you know, woke up to the sound of gunshots had my breakfast burger, the eagle
flying by the window. We split it. And you know, it hit me today. You split the burger
with the ball. Yes. Very nice of you. It is very kind. Yeah. I'm a patriot. Did you
offer it orange juice at least? Cause you're not going to drink. Oh, I don't have any
orange juice coffee and a burger. There you go.
love one American brand coffee at a burger. That's actually pretty close to what I had
breakfast. I'm not going to, that's when it hit me. It's going to be a five zero five
zero. All right. Well, confidence coming in from a sale. I think Sentels gave us more
reason to be confident if we're being serious about that day one, they were able to do a
red can. Oh, I am serious. You're always serious. I can tell you got that look in
your eye right now. Yeah. Um, but let's talk about the competition. Cause Furia also
look solid in their win against C9. You might not be able to see all of their eyes. They're
all wearing glasses of some sort though. I didn't catch it. I didn't clock out the first
day. That's some good synergy. They are magging us pretty hard in the Blair photos. Yeah. That
is a significant advantage that Furia has over the Sentinels players. Who's Gido showing?
Oh, okay. These are nice. We got some cute little poses, but we don't have the
same level of swag that Furia has. We're going to have to be honest about this.
We definitely went for the like, you know, what's the K-pop glam cam thing where it's like,
you know, to do what the pose is, they're looking cute on there.
I feel like there should be sparkles around our players right now.
Yeah, I can see that.
You know, some little like heart stickers, some sparkles.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, we'll get working on that.
The America's Cup collectible trading cards.
I mean, Furia was smurfing against Cloud9 the other day.
I think Cloud9 was playing bad, but also Furia was looking really, really good.
To me, Tatu is going to be a problem.
He has been really, really impressive, so I think that is going to be a big question
is how will Honbok hold up?
Because I think Honbok is a really strong early game jungler.
To me, his weakness has always been more like mid game, late game decision making compared
to his early game.
I think he has one of the best early games in the LCS, so we'll see how they match
up.
Cloud9 has not looked good at this tournament.
Sentinel's definitely looked a lot better the other day than Cloud9 has.
So I think it's going to be a good series on the real.
I think either team could win.
I'm hoping Sentinels will win because, let's be honest,
that's a bias LCS cast here.
We gotta get some dubs, you know,
defend our honor here.
And I think back to how C9 lost against Datu
was they were overcontesting the crabs that day.
Well, I know it's a mean with C9,
but like they did the Weaver's wall play
when like Blackbers level five
to try and contest it last time.
And from what I hear about Humbuck and scrims
is that he is a bit of a psychopath.
I don't think we see that as much on stage though.
like we don't see him go for these crazy, crazy invades,
but I'm worried like,
do we have a penchant for just North American junglers
going crazy for these crabs
and potentially throwing leads for them?
I mean, I think you should play around second crab,
but you should play around it well, right?
There's the strategy and then there's the execution.
I think the strategy of playing around second crab is smart,
but when you don't have push in the lanes
and when they're already there first,
yeah, you shouldn't do it.
You have to take the L, you already lost.
There's no execution that can actually
really make up for that.
So I feel like that's where Claw 9 really failed.
So we'll see.
I mean, it's definitely not a GG moment
if it gets second crab, but it is a big deal.
Especially if second crab spawns bot side,
then often it means you get level six there,
you immediately get dragon
because it's very hard to contest
when you don't have that ultimate,
especially with the kind of junglers
that are played these days.
Like when you think about all of the most meta junglers,
you're thinking about powerful level sixes,
Wukong, Jarvan, Xin Zhao, et cetera.
Malfight, yeah, all kinds of junglers right now.
Yeah, I do think it's still important to play around,
but you have to do it properly.
I mean, Claude and I, the way they were playing around it was just garbage.
Yeah.
Well, hey, Sentinels have a chance to do better this time around,
and we actually have some interviews with both Fiora and Sentinels,
so let's take a listen ahead of their match.
I think this Straya...
Straya always wins very well, right?
I think we were very confident to play against Cloud9.
We had already played against them last year.
They changed a player only.
I think today they are a better team.
But we talked after losing to Red
and we saw a lot of their game.
They didn't do much, so we got here very confident and I think we gave them a very good 2-0.
But I think the level we presented today is a good level for us to be in a final, to win the final.
So we are happy with what we are presenting.
try better to killing people but still team-wise I thought it's okay so I still
think if we keep doing the same thing we can win against Furia but I kind of
respected Julio I think he's pretty good.
Some respect from Impact right there as I think earned from Furia they had a
great series against C9. Especially he was going on Gigo I thought he was
smurfing in the second game against GLaDON he was absolutely owning you
To my recollection, I think he buffered and immuneed basically every single Ember's divide
from APA in that second game.
He was playing Cassante and everyone, he either got him with the All-Out or he got him with
the Pathmaker.
His timing was really, really good.
I felt like he was destroying Cloud9 in those teamfights, so he was definitely very,
very impressive.
Impact, I don't think, has been on a great run individually in the last couple series.
Sure.
When you think back to the lower bracket series against Lyon, I thought he was
really, really struggling.
And then yesterday, individually, I think he had some pretty rough moments.
But as he said, I think the team play was good for Sentinels, even though they did have
bad early games.
They played the vision game a lot better than Red did.
And that is something that I still can think can go in their favor.
You just have to kind of not get blown out of the water early.
Yeah, it actually was Huki with two really clutch wards, first around their own invade
at the Red Buff and then also in, you know, Red Cannon's top jungle afterwards
to find two really big plays that got them into the game
and really got them that win.
I think that alone earned him player of the game
from Kobe's perspective.
He was just like, no, give it to them for the vision.
So yeah, I think that there's going
to be a big hurdle for Furia to overcome
when it comes to the macro sentals.
Their macro and their map play looked pretty clean,
especially when you compare it to C9s.
And historically, this has been something
we talked about CBLO, and we're
seeing it here as well in the America's Cup.
The laning phase is really good.
Mechanics really good.
Like, individual power really good.
But there can be a moment that happens in the mid to late game
where they don't have the right side of an objective
and they over force something and then an LCS seems able to play
just a little cleaner and just that small margins
enough to get the LCS team to win.
Yeah, I mean, when you look at how Red was losing,
I feel like we saw the same kind of macro error a lot of times,
which was just sending too many players to one side of the map
where they're trying to actually look for a pick.
And this happened a bunch of times in both the series for Red
where they would overload one side of the map.
They would get a pick, but they send four or five to do it
and they'd lose a tower on the other side.
They lose all their bottom side camps when they're growing top.
They sometimes lose an objective.
So you get a kill, your play worked, but you're actually going negative gold on it
and losing objectives.
And so sometimes, you know, that kind of overload on one side of the map can be
problematic.
We didn't see any issues from that with, with Furia in their first series.
And Furia last year was obviously known as a really, really strong macro team.
A lot of credit was given to ThinkCard because of their macro success.
So this year, I feel like from what I've been hearing, you know, they
have taken a little bit of a step back.
They feel like in that regard with the loss of ThinkCard, but they're
Still looking great. Still beat C9. Let's see if they can do it to Sentinels and let's kick off the show
I think we were very confident to play against Cloud9, we had already played against Elisanna last year, but I think the level we presented today is a good level for us to be in a final, to win the final, so we are happy with what we are presenting.
I think Puria is kind of similar in my opinion, like how Flay liked that.
So I still think if we keep doing the same thing, we can win against Puria.
But I kind of respect that Puria, y'all.
and we'll see you guys next time.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
And the competitors are ready to take to the stage once again at the America's Cup.
We find ourselves in the upper bracket.
Both of these teams defeated their opponents in 2-0 fashion to get here.
And now we see who wins in their first FF5.
It's going to be Furia taking on Sentinels.
be a fun one. Yesterday went the full five. Think much of this may have many
cloud nine fans that got pretty sloppy here. They won the first two to give us
hope and they lost two to make us a little on our edge to give the CBL all
fans hope. True, to give CBL fans hope. They just really are all about giving hope.
See, they are givers. They are givers, yeah. Sentinel's inferior though,
definitely looking like the two top dogs from the first day. They both
tooled their series and now the question is who is going to be the
team here in the upper bracket.
It's going to be a fun one and I'm really interested to see, you know, how they're coming
into the picks and bans.
There was a lot of talk about the draft yesterday as we got to game 4 and game 5.
A lot of people were, you know, feeling like there's some pretty significant draft advantages
that some teams really kind of had to drop the ball in those late series drafts.
So I always think it's so exciting in Fearless to get to game 4, to get to game 5
and really see where you can push your team to, you know,
where you can get a big advantage as far as picks and bans are concerned
because when we were in the LCS playoffs,
Sandals was one of the teams that I was actually really worried for,
champion-wise, once we got late.
But they kind of proved me wrong.
I felt like Darkwing's because he is kind of a control mage-only guy.
I went, well, he gets a game 4, game 5,
he threw a couple of bends and surely there's going to be nothing left,
but he's bringing out Vhagar and play.
And just kind of other style control mages
that have been working quite well for him.
In fact, traditionally, he's a guy who has a very limited champion pool,
but he actually won the most fearless award for squad 1 in LCS.
I don't think he still has his champions that he performs best on as most comfortable at, but he did actually showcase a pretty big champion pool
And I feel like Fury on the other side is quite flexible as well
So I think it should be a really interesting one if it goes late
Yeah
And when you're talking about Darkwing's and his champion pool a lot of it's actually shared by Toots on the Furia side
Furia does everyone and see below apparently plays a colleague in the mid lane does has played that one
But outside of that it's a lot of those same control majors, right? It seems like this entered the anivia the rise
So we'll have to see how much of that mid lane control mage shampoos pinched between both of these teams in the first couple of games
Because if you're a player like touch you can save that a colleague for later on try and limit Darkwing's champion cool as early as you can
In the first couple of games and best of five fearless and then start pulling out these melee champions
Once a lot of the control majors are gone for Darkwing's and I always think it's interesting
The different approaches that teams will have to a champion that is unique to one side, right?
So if we're assuming Darkwing isn't gonna play a colleague. I'm assuming that
And you know, just on the other side is one of his most played the question is do you just allow that to go through early and try to
Take a good matchup into it
So you don't actually have to spend a ban every single game
Otherwise you are kind of stuck banning it for five games in a row. So sometimes teams will go into it
They'll say all right. This is his best champion. We're gonna prepare a counter matchup
We're gonna allow that to go through and then we're gonna try to answer it here
And that gives us more flexibility in every game going forward
But of course there is risk to that because if you let that through and you lose to it then well
You can look a little bit silly. Yeah true. Well, it's sounding like we're ready to hop in to champs select coaches are on stage and ready to go also quick little shout out Deus you see on Senol side assistant coach over for Senol's buying Golden Glove first international tournament so shout out he's coming from the NACL system just like I did as a caster so I got to give props to the coaches and the players that go through that development to there you go he's having a great time.
I'll shut myself out if you want.
Shout out to me, my first, actually first international
that I'm casting technically.
That's what I assume.
There we go.
There you go.
All right, Deus, we'll give a fist bump
once you're back in the states.
We'll grab some lunch, but,
schedule up on the drafts so far.
Sentinels are going to be on blue side with first pick.
And it's, you know, our lockdown.
It's probably what we're getting here
unless they want to turn into jointed.
It feels like the con trade these days
is just corky and nami.
As soon as you see the Unara come through,
people will try to go for a strong 2v2 lane.
Of course there are other options, you can go Lucian lanes, but Korki Nami is kind of becoming the de facto answer to Unara.
I would expect to see Xin Zhao probably first picked, and then Korki or Nami, and then the other one on the next round would be like the most common, I think.
So there's the Korki. We'll see if we do get the Xin Zhao kind of as I'm assuming, as that does feel like the kind of best jungler right now on the patch, or at least one that fits most easily with all the different comps, because it just gives you such powerful frontline.
good surmishing, has fast clear, can do objectives, it kind of just can do it all.
And right now the game is just about setting up for your bot lane really, and I feel like
Xinn does that.
I'm a little bit surprised to see the full Korki Nami here because I feel like you could
take the priority jungler, and then just grab your lane on the 3rd.
They're not going to take the Korki away, they already have, they already carry, right?
Like if you want, you can just pick the Nami.
But that being said, if Furia does not care which jungler they get, or if they
you want to have more of an answering pick for Tatu, then this is fine too, right?
If you think, alright, I want to see what he plays first, then get more info and pick,
that's fine, but sometimes it just doesn't mean that you are going to lose the champion
that you were hoping you were going to get.
And Tatu, I mean, giving him counter pick can be a way for Furia to find success.
You mentioned that they, one of the strongest macro teams in CBLO last year, and still
to this year we see echoes of ThinkCards impact on the team specifically through Tatu
and the jungle, giving him the ability to pick what he wants into Hombok.
We know Atati's capable of it, it's going to be Wukong as the answer.
Yeah, so Wukong coming through, both teams going pretty standard.
It is just kind of engaged jungler plus, and Shanner support is Gale and Evi-Keri.
The bot lane 2v2 I think in this matchup is always kind of interesting because Nami
Corki really will dominate in short trades, but it's all about the Lulu and Unar being
able to stack passive and being able to get an extended trade.
Once you have the Q stacks on Unara, getting in there, lethal tempo stacks up, you will
crush the extended fight.
So Nami and Korki have to be able to move in, get those quick pokes down, and be able to
just kind of sustain with the Nami heals, but not get locked into a longer fight where
Unara and Lulu are going to find opportunities to try to probably pop goes, pop heal, use
that move speed to try to get extended trades.
Now Unara, so strong in lane, especially with the Lulu behind you at those early
levels, and also can scale pretty well.
And it's also one of IU's picks too.
So when we talk about the champ pool here in Fearless,
I use already two of his more favored AD carries off the table.
He's getting the Corki into that matchup.
And now we're going to go ahead and ban some of these solo laners.
Neither team have locked one in.
So it's Renekton ban from Furious side,
Syndra ban from Sentinel side, respecting Tuts in this champ pool as well.
If we want to further ban Tuts again,
it would be things like the Ryze would kind of pop up
in action priority as the Akali was banned in the first round.
Yeah, so Sincerity hasn't lost on yet this, this plays 5-0 on the pick
and he's 3-1 on the call here. There are his two most played, so makes sense taking those away.
Victor gonna be banned out here, which I think makes sense. I mean, it is tied for most played right now for Darkwings
and I always feel like Victor does really well in control mage matchups simply because you kind of out range, right?
You have the laser poke, you have really good push, you scale very well.
So it is kind of just a good all-arounder and fits the composition that they're already building here.
Darkwing still has Azir up as his champ pool. That would be like my next high prio for him and looking at Furia's
Experience. Yeah, Tuts has not played the Azir yet. I believe one. Yeah, only one Taliyah game
So seems like Darkwing's will get something he's comfortable on at the very least as Furia will get the next choice
It's not gonna be Cassante. Senna will try and take away one of those safe blind top lane picks
They're gonna have to show one of their solo lanes that then can be counterpicked by Senna's and based on the hover on screen
I love these over-the-shoulder
Camera views we're gonna see what they're looking at. It's Ari that they're hovering right now. Yep
There it is locked in Ari is one of his comfort champ
So they are gonna be going in towards the Ari save pop for a last pick here
Ari Wukong is obviously a pretty powerful combo
It's not the kind of same guaranteed level that you have things like by Ari
Which you don't really get that guaranteed dive that being said there's not any super tanks on the other side just yet
So I think can work really really well
This would be the counter pick that we actually saw brought out in playoffs if I'm if I'm not mistaken
That it was Vagar that he brought out into the Ari and actually did quite well with it
So Vagar can be cool to see Darkwing's bring us out. I'm gonna double check
But that is the matchup that I recall him bringing out. Yeah, I don't recall right now either
So while you're looking that up, I just love to see unique picks Darkwing's has always been known for this in NACL
He had a champion ocean in tier 2 coming to tier 1 it wasn't sure like which would he show us
What's he gonna bring out and I mean last year we got things like mouths of our on stage this year
We're getting the vaguer on stage. He's one of the first it was versus the Ari
What's the Ari? Okay, he's still working. Nice. That's a good memory right there yet
Well, you had your your plum juice prune juice, which one is it?
I don't drink juice. Yeah, but you should you really should think about your gut biomes as a well
Yeah, it's important. You know what you should do shut up, buddy
It was right there it was right there waiting for me
Or I'm gonna be the final pick here good answer into the rumble
Pretty standard stuff on both sides obviously a lot more traditional kind of of a front line here for furia
they're gonna have that tanky orange up in the front line and I
I don't know, I like to send those drafts a lot more, to be honest with you.
I do think it's really really strong, I think their kiteback is good.
I think that the Vhagar cage is going to be really effective against what Furia has drafted.
It's pretty tough, like if you ever get caged in at all, if you ever get locked into some
sort of CC there, Vhagar can pretty much one-shot Ari and Wukong and all these types of champs, so.
Yeah, two cages.
They got the Cataclysm and the Event Horizon.
There we go.
It's like when you have the dog gate in both entrances to the kitchen, you're not getting in here, they can't get around. They're protecting for help.
And he's got the Lulu by him.
So it's kind of the opposite.
Well, yeah, you're kind of tearing apart by now, DSL. I didn't put that much thought in there.
Well, what purpose do you have for two cages? Can you think of a better one?
Yeah, you want to lock them in there. A cage in a cage?
Exactly.
I like locking a gorilla. I want a second cage to make sure if he breaks out of the first the back
That he's not gonna tear my arms off. Yeah, that's a good point
I thought it's a line or a tiger or something
You know the zoo and they have like an enclosure that they sleep in inside of the enclosure that they're kept in
I mean if it's like us, you know cage made out of sticks
I want a big strong cage around that so which is the sticks cage in this analogy would that be J4 because you can
So dash over it but bigger is it's like are you think so?
I don't know what he can't like you can't have a reason to make a rocks and stuff. It looks like it'll be durable
I suppose just the saddocks wise they are cages about intimidating, but it does stun you and that's where it gets you
Yeah, it gets you all right. Well now that we've given our cage breakdown
Let us know in chat what your analogy for two cages would be as we're loading on to the rift here for a best of five
And they're from record wings of America's Cup. They do look like wings. What's going on there?
That's not cool. That's not like a little smolder
I'm kind of feeling these little
This tour of the aesthetics of Summoner's Rift.
Are they wings or are they shoulder pads?
Because they also kind of look...
You going wings?
Yeah.
Brother looks like he gets sore.
He's mid-flap.
That's why one was higher than the other one.
He's turning.
As Furion Redside settles on the blue side,
we get the war down from Habak
to spot out where Tatu is going to be
pathing in the early game.
All right, so it is going to be barrier heal on the bot side.
So how won't we play Ghost?
Trade of Barrier, Trade of Heals, you know,
this is what we see a lot in these matchups.
Again, for Furia, it is about quick trades,
and for Sentinels, it is about that extended trade.
They want to get lethal tempo stacked.
They want to look for these kind of rundown plays.
Rahel already getting access to the wave,
getting that passive stacked,
and then sometimes when they pass it a stack,
you'll see them pop heal aggressively for the move speed
and just sort of run in
and take these really powerful extended trades.
So Sentinels is going to get the push,
and going to be pretty happy about that.
Yeah, the difference for the Barriers
You know you're gonna be able to survive any ganks a little better and there is some burst with the re2
So I understand why we're hell would obviously take something like that as opposed to the more aggressive option
Yeah, but we'll see if they're able to get that priority in level 2 first boss
I mean while dark wings nice dodge at the orbit deception right there
It's dark wings from dark wing duck by the way, you know, I've never asked him actually
What's dark wing duck? It was a cartoon. How was it super old cartoon? I think I will do I am
old on 37
I've never heard a dog. I'm gonna Google this. I don't know that I watched it, but I remember hearing about it
I remember I just that name has popped them ahead so every time I see darklings. I I think it's dark wing duck
I think it was my time. I'm not gonna lie, but it's looking like a looney-tooth thing
Okay, yeah, I would show it to the stream, but because I'm pretty sure it's Disney. I don't want us to get in trouble
You will get fired, but you can show it to the stream if you'd like, okay
You know what chat if you ask nice enough, I'll put the career on the line nicely
Just asking 50 gift did something
Yes, I want them to get the emote they get the Israeli mud that yeah
Still I've never actually seen mine. I'm pretty sure it's a fucking
I think I have a bucket on my head. You don't know your own emotes. I've been told it's that but it's a glowing review for
of the Kangas, he's like, I don't even know what it is, I didn't sub to the channel, that's me outing myself.
But even if I had, it's kind of weird to use my own emo, right?
If I subbed to the channel, I wouldn't use it.
Do you use your own emo? Are you subbed to the LZO's channel?
Of course.
To most, they answer both questions?
Of course.
Alright, well we know what kind of guy's A.L. is.
Right now, Hombok on the bottom side here, we'll spot out that ward.
He supports his local League of Legends League.
It's worth using your own emote, was what I was getting at there, but sure.
Why is the app? Because I'm encouraging people with my great emote to sub to the channel.
Oh, true, true. I hear actually the majority of people that sub are just there for your emote.
For the Nodder's mode? It is very cursed.
Why you? Getting big damage on who he and we'll get heal out of him, but who he can't just walk back to safety.
I mean Sentinels have kind of wasted both their combat sums, to be honest.
I mean, Rahel didn't get much value out of the barrier earlier on his trade.
It was kind of just kind of out, and then we did have to use his heal.
That being said though, we are quite a bit of a farm.
So, I was using a lot of CS under tower, and Rahel has already gone back with his cull refillable buy.
So, he's feeling really good. The barrier is going to be back up, wasn't punished,
and they can't really just base right now, because the wave is in such a bad spot.
So, we did spend his heal, but was able to hold the wave as a result.
And every lane looking really good right now for Sentinels.
I mean mid lane's going pretty well. I mean it's down down a little bit of farm, but trade wise looking pretty good
You're Vega you're gonna scale anyway
You just want to make sure that you're hitting those minions with your abilities last hitting to stack up your
What's the name of Vega passive again? I was blank on the passive. It's like pool of evil or something like that
Something something with evil. I can't remember what it is unlimited evil. I'm just gonna go with that. I don't know if that's true
I don't think that's true. I'll look it up for you, but it's infinite stacking
Theoretically unlimited humbuck right now invading onto tattoos or rafters
Job sound the control ward tattoo doesn't have his mid laner behind his back yet
But now touch will show up as the R.H. Arm goes wide and smite is down humbuck
phenomenal evil power
Phenomenal evil power. It is a phenomenal name. That is yeah the phenom AJ Styles
You know, do you know AJ Styles? I'm assuming it's wrestling. It is a wrestling thing
Yeah, you don't watch sports, so I don't we just had a whole conversation about this exactly yeah one day
I'll become a WWE commentator the evil mustache
So first you're trying to sell out and now you're already trying to quit working for the LCS. Yeah, there's any WWE
Get the competition stream taken down
Immediately leave my job and go commentate some wrestling
you in here yeah all right I feel like it's uh there's been a couple looks for
action early on here and I know the invade in the middle area yeah the
raptors scraps in the bot side but no full-on sends for any early kills now
the second scuttle has spawned so now we might see it touch spots on hot
block by the dragon over the wall and the rest of fury are behind their
jungler should tattoo he earns it there we go the six-minute scuttle here in it
or does team earn it because that was team gap team earned it yep team earned it
team earned a good job for you because that was he had his support and his mid
laner both moved over and that is nicely done so they're gonna be able to get
that advantage for them and now tattoo gonna come down here and try to for
something they shouldn't know that it could be in the area either he's gonna
be on dragon or he's looking for a gang right you know he's level six you
know you are weak-sided Jarvan stop so they have to play safe and tattoo is
gonna be able to get a dragon yeah it's a very very nice getting first dragon
ocean Drake especially for tank matchups when you're looking up topside for
for ego being able to get that early ocean dragon is gonna mitigate a lot that
rumble is gonna be doing to you yeah in terms of like the early dragons is
one of the most efficient just because you stand laying longer yeah I think
it's I think it's not even close honestly debate yeah I mean I think if
you can get it right early in the game and have it for a lot of landing phase
It's just so valuable
Suddenly the rumble poke the rumble roast is not gonna be hurt nearly as bad
Especially when you're able to build your items in lane as he weren't anyway
So you know she's gonna be unmovable at this point and just efficient passing from tattoo getting the scuttle and then immediately the drag afterwards
Not able to find as much yet. He was in the mid lane there, but it doesn't look like we actually
Arey already was recalling on seeing on the mini map and humbug almost got it
Number two contests, I think the time to got that one. No, I'm not got it. Oh, he did. Yep
I'm by solid plus 35. I saw two smites go down, but either way well times then that's a double
Yeah, yeah, oh
Rahel's going in
Transcend oneself for the extra damage and hates abilities and pushes back the bot lane of yours. What's the W for you know?
Con may step no that's the e isn't it that's the e all right buddy you're fired
well Q is arc of judgment arc of ruin it's upgrades as you get it is w that's
the W well there we go they're gonna do no wonder he wants to go competition
wrestling yeah you don't have to remember yeah maybe on like the
Press the X button, that's fine, 2K, 25.
I guess they do have their special moves.
Well, if you think about it, I did know it.
I just didn't know that it was the W, not the Q, as the cage has gone down.
Event Horizon? That's that one.
Usually people call it Baby Cage.
Yeah, I just call it Cage.
But it does sound cool. Event Horizon.
It is cool. It's got a good ring to it.
And Tombock's gonna look at Tatoo taking the grubs and will go forward and that was Smite
Tombock. Yeah, he gets that one. He's just out of Smite and back-to-back. It's now Gigo
called the 4th guy to use it lands, but the equalizer from Impact forces out Flash of
Gigo. Furia back into the pit as they back away. Sentinels trying to battle line on the
top half of the river. Furia decided to back off throughout the emotes and give
over the second grub. They got one, so they denied the three. Yep, gonna be
able to deny that. Darkwing pops the spellbook barrier there. I feel like there was an angle
for them to fight, but Darkwing's had a really bad first cage. I think his assumption was
they were going to art engage onto him, so he kind of self-caged as the Orn was casting
Ulty, maybe assuming that, oh, they're going to all try to flash on me, so he just puts
the cage around himself, but then didn't actually have that for any sort of combat.
Either way though, calm early game going very well for Sentinels. They are up 1k.
Yes, it is Dragon Trade on the other side, so that is kind of the cost that they
have given up, but very calm game and that is exactly what you want when you have
Vega versus Ari when you have this Yunara Lulu versus the Nami Korki you are
hoping for this kind of a slow-paced very very calm game and I think they're gonna
be really happy with how things have gone so far. Yeah no early kills but it's
still a thousand gold lead over all percentinals with that coal being a
lot of it for Rahel and the bottom line still stacking that one up. Dark
wings is falling a little behind that's two waves down now but again like the
And the Vhagar is kind of skill. You just hit your abilities on enemy champions and you clear the minions, last hitting with them, you're a stack up just fine.
So uses mana, we'll go for another reset and has the TP off cooldown so we can just get back to lane.
Yeah, Toast is doing well in that 1v1, has created a little bit of an advantage, mostly just to play gold, right?
And a lot of that has been earned just by the team played from Furia, because obviously he moved over there to try to help at the grubs.
And then he was kind of zoned off because the fury members were between him and mid lane
So that allowed to get the push and allowed him to get a little bit pressure as a humbug will take some damage
But honestly does not matter at all because he's just gonna be recalling after clearing that ward dark wings now has all the components for his
Roa so it could be trying to get that done here pretty shortly
See impact going Swifties pretty common tech against Ornn as Ornn has you know really just the slows to peel and
Fists doing good job just dodging as many skill shots as you can in that cage.
Really you're kind of just trying to zone them with the W into Qs basically to get those free stacks.
Yeah, things looking good.
It's like a minigame whenever you're against a vagar in lane.
It's just like, can I play the bullet hell once the cage goes down?
Try and stide Seth as best you can.
But vagar abilities do move pretty slow, especially the W.
Because now we have Hombok in the top lane here, but Ego clears out the entire wave and no dive will come through.
Plus, Tattoo was nearby, so that would have been a dangerous endeavor regardless.
Yeah, I think it was more just a coverage play.
You know, move up there, he was waiting for his camps to respawn.
You can see Scuttle's about to spawn, Blue's about to spawn.
So he basically had a little bit of time.
So you just go up, you make sure, alright, is Wukong here clearing this?
Does Impact have to be, you know, worried about a potential gank?
So he moves up there, covers him and allows Impact to get the reset.
He's back to the schedule as that spawns. He's clearing his camps as they spawn so
Efficient pathing there from Honbok and it's these little things. They always want to see people doing it in the jungle, right?
You want to see them
maximizing efficiency as
First item now through for everyone except impact. You can see ardent is done
Kraken's done row a completed sundered sky on the other side still waiting for a lot of those first-end completions
But Tatu and toots both have theirs and are gonna be on really really strong points, especially
Once Wukong hits Stryforce, you're the strongest person on the map for a while.
It's ridiculous what you're able to do at that point.
Yes, he's behind Hombok in the jungle clear, but just the Sundered Sky not going to be the same type of combat stats as this Trinity Force.
But Sentinels do have more numbers right now around the dragon. They got that priority on the bottom side, and Darkwing is pushing in mid to start off the dragon, but now Darkwing is only up.
and upgraded smite because Tatu hasn't fully evolved his smite so that's
actually a pretty big deal here for Hombok who is gonna have the smite
advantage so would be very hard to steal if there's a contest.
Just turn out to the play instead the Cataclysm goes down first blood the Dark Wings.
Easy. Oh yeah I love that they were clear of the vision they're on the
dragon they bait Inferia and then they just turn for the play. Yeah it was a
really well placed cage there from Dark Wings. Tatu tried to clone out he
He would have needed to insta flash. He tried to clone out of the cataclysm, but he just
cloned straight into the cage. And as a result, it takes a lot of damage there. Darkwing's
just running in with the instant exhaust. He wants to make an ult.
Yeah. I mean, Darkwing's already used the primordial burst, so I don't think there's
a big chance, or rather, the ultimate. He won't kill him, but he wants him to
ult. So if you get caged here, you might actually have to ult if these keep hitting.
So takes another Q, is able to dodge W, and goes for the reset. So no ult used.
That's good for Tuts to hold that. Didn't have to flash either, but Darkwing's
is showing that you know maybe it's not just about the scale and he gets the
row and he's already put in work. I mean that's honestly really really smart play
he knows that your jungler just died you can see everyone else on the map there
can't be another person here I have spellbook to be able to actually just
cycle through this exhaust so I want to get that done anyway so he just walks
on his face exhausts him and says use alt or maybe I'm gonna kill you in
this case Toots has the damage really kind of calculated well and once he
back to his brush and drops a pink in there. You're kind of like oh well maybe the jungler is back
now. I can't keep chasing so it was smart from Darkwing's though. He got first blood,
has that injection, gonna base now and spend up that gold and things like that.
Equalizer used onto Tuts now as we've lane swapped. Sendy Kuki and Rahel up to the top side
and we will have JoJo answer as the Nami just to heal up and that's a teleport from
impact to go towards the bottom side and answer now this accepted lane swap.
Yeah, a bit of an ambitious ult I will say, because if I'm Furia now, you know Rumble has no equalizer, so if you wanted to look for an aggressive play, there is always that opportunity.
We can see though that Tatsu is just clearing bot to top, so nothing is really going to come from that.
Just sometimes that is your defense against a potential dive, so that is always something you have to be a little bit worried about.
And Darkwing's now has the upgraded Lucidity boots, got an extra Fiendish Codex on top, so picking up a ton of CDR now, and it's just going to get more and more annoying.
Another cage goes down.
Ah, Hambach didn't actually want it.
I thought that they would go for the all in now that Primordial
Merce is back up for Darkwing's, but Wise Kastatu was also in that line brush
on the top river.
Yep, they didn't know exactly where the jumper was, so they're not going to
full send it.
That would have gone really bad for them.
And Darkwing's just got hit by about 10 rocks.
Yeah, that was a lot.
Also, I'm learning the skill order here from Darkwing's.
I'm going to be curious to see where he goes from here.
Sometimes people put a couple points in W and then they'll start
maxing cage.
Sometimes people full max W after Q, but already has three points
in the cage.
It increases the stun duration, reduces the cooldown, so it is actually quite nice.
Oh! What a play from Furia!
They had a ward in the brush, Tatu using the Warrior Trickster to get in there unseen, and then they just blow up Huig.
This is good, but you did spend your Cyclone now, so there's a possibility that they could actually fight here, even though they are down a member.
We'll see if they can delay it enough, that we can get up here.
They still spear rush and they still title wave so two pretty impactful ultimates available as how box walks back
Darkwing shows up the event horizon IU stuck in there, but takes no damage
Sephiria they get the pink bubble lands and hop-bock has to play to drag back as IU jumps in
Cataclysm not enough to turn the play but it is enough to buy time for Darkwing's
We'll get one back as it's a trade of one for one after the Herald's a take in now
Where hell is the focus on the top side?
Tatu doesn't have the Cyclone from the earlier play
So he's able to get out and he's got who he to help him out. Yeah, if that arc of rune hit
I think you might get flash off tattoo or potentially even more
So I'm pretty lucky that our help did actually miss that at the end of the day
You basically went support and and Harold for the kill there on the other side
But the fact that Darkwing's gets another kill is honestly really good for him
I do not think that was worth it for IU at all
He goes in and ends up giving his life and the barrier to kill off the jungler when you already kind of had
So I think we're gonna move too far. Here's that initial engage one more time
It's just a good play they catch me on vision are able to get that kill and then I just think are you going a bit too far?
You know what once you've gotten the jump that's great
But the fact that you're first up means you're pretty likely to go down there
And it's a bit of a costly kill right like you've already kind of earned
That that objective so I didn't feel like they need to go for that, but it's it's not bad by any means
I just think it's it's not as good as it maybe could have been yeah
Vigor abilities have pretty long cooldowns early game, but once you get enough CDR like he's w's off pretty often
So you saw that I was able to dodge first one not the second one is now two zero and zero on the vagar
This was the counter pick that he played earlier on in LCS into the area and it's working again here
Yep, it's working really really well. I mean it's it's just so annoying dealing with the cage
So you can see he stopped at three points each so now he's maxing out W
Okay, so he's gonna be going for that obviously has the skill elixir as well to get the extra skill point in because you
Want to go for that so could be able to really kind of ramp that up W's cooldown scales obviously with rank
But also skills of AP's every hundred AP you get you know, it doesn't lose cool down
So it gets get really short cooldown late game when you have death cap and you have a ton of AP from that passive
and just 500 APF.
Yeah, just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, they started just raining down, so.
They're gonna have to play well around Cage.
I mean, Vigor, there's these kind of like brief windows where he's very vulnerable when he does not have Cage,
but if you are not playing well around it, it is so difficult.
You can easily get Cage in if you're stepping too far forward, and then you are basically forced to flash or just die.
Sentinels currently are on the Dragon Fury, I dropped the Herald in the mid lane as a response.
They got that first Dragon, but now it's 2-0 for Sentinels.
Spira will trade it for gold on the map instead a lot of gold honestly
I think this was bad for sentinels really bad because you get the dragon
But you gave first tower gold you gave the plates from that orange farming plates top and you got a second charge mid
So you got plates there. We were up 2.5 K. It's now 600 lead like this was like to me a horrendous play
Oh, this is one of those things where you basically yeah, you got a dragon
But you gave your entire goldly practically to get it
So I feel like they super over committed to that dragon.
Maybe their read is that Furia is for sure
going to come contest and we'll just beat them in a fight,
which may have been correct, but when they have Herald,
you can't trade like that.
I just feel like they could have done it a little bit
more conservatively and we'll see.
I mean, if they get sold, obviously,
it ends up being worthwhile, but.
Yeah.
Tetsu was also even able to catch that bot wave,
so nothing was denied from Furia.
Everything was gained instead.
And I love that that was a macro play from Furia.
The team that we were highlighting
had the best macro in CBLO last year and again this year and they're showing us some of that
on stage here in America's Cup. Yep. Cripploom is going to be done for Darkwing so that is the only
item with two fiendish codexes so he kind of knew he was going that direction and clearly just
emphasizing getting a ton of CDR. Really wants to have a low cage cooldown and you are going to
need Magic Pen when it's double AP soul laners. There's a canik over on the other side you
know you need you're going to need that eventually so he's just getting it early. We'll see
Let's see where he wants to go next. He does have an Amptoam, might feel like Zonius or something to try to absorb the dive, as in fact, probably should just equalize the wave, but he doesn't have it, so never mind.
Yeah, not gonna be able to do that, so instead, Huki will walk from behind, back him up, Pombak as well, so Fury will back off. The short window there, where maybe they could have looked for a dive, but Sentinels will back up and make sure he gets the wave, as for Hell still in the midline getting this wave.
Darkwing is now in the top lane getting that wave into Gigo.
He's got so much magic resist.
Here you go.
Still in the jungle, but we'll back off now.
As the game goes later and later,
this Vhagar will just get stronger and stronger.
I actually really like Sentinels in a kind of even-to-a-head
game state as the game progresses,
because Vhagar will just hit critical mass at some point.
Yeah, I think the same is kind of true of Unara.
Obviously, there's good scaling on the other side as well.
You have good engage tools.
You're going to have ornaments
that are going to be coming through,
that are additional gold.
there and putting Darkwing's against the Ornn is not to pressure the Ornn. It's
basically just to farm stacks because it's really easy when you are playing as a
melee champion like the Ornn. Every time he's walking up to that wave you can
just farm stacks off of him. You can get more and more free AP whereas you know
in range of his range mats it's a little bit more difficult to hit and of
course the Aria has a bit more threat so just playing that out and
Darkwing actually sold his Ampto so he's gonna be going deathcap next I'm
I'm assuming which is which is what I really like. I feel like when you have a slow game like this you want to get
Charmin from touch almost one shot to he as he's waiting in the brush now spots on Hombok
Darkwing throws down the cage to help out with the retreat and Hombok will flag and drag out of there
Who he almost just died had to use the heel and the wild growth?
Yep, I'm gonna use that heel the wild growth the shield everything does come through but he does survive
so gonna be pretty happy about that at the end of the day and
And you need Ari to be ahead, you know, this is this is kind of that difference is Ari when she's really accelerated
Has the damage to get those kills has the damage to get those resets and that can be pretty threatening
But it can be difficult for Ari and more even game-state to actually be able to kind of hit that critical mass
Where she can get kills because if you can't one shot the Lulu, you can't one shot anyone on the map right now
Of course in a teamfight, there's gonna be the cyclone damage. There's gonna be a lot more coming in on top
So he's still threatening, but I am a bit worried for for fury at this game pace
And I feel like they're getting a bit worried too, so I think we're gonna see them start trying to force more fights
I definitely challenge the next dragon. They're the one pressure to make action happen
As that's uses the rocket belt right there to get away. Also, I'm trapped under myself. I just got an notification my phone
I was gifted a sub to the LCS channel. So now I have access to the emotes. Let's go
I would give this guy a sub. He's already full as he's leaving
Now, now I'm sticking around as, ooh, Primordial burst almost enough to kill Tuts there.
Not quite enough, but it's about sending a message.
I think message delivered, received.
The message is go back to base, I'm taking your tower, and that is a good message for Sentinels.
This is going to be a nice lead here. Over 1k up now for Darkwings.
We'll see if he has enough for another large rod here, as he's got to get back to base anyway,
so the timing is good, he'll have us all by the time the dragon spawns, so everything good as far as that is concerned,
But same thing is true for Furia. It's going to be like a 10-summiter fight. All Alties. Everything is going to be available
Yeah, I do expect both teams to want to scrap for this
So vision becomes really really important and right now Furia are the ones that are dominating the vision in that area
So Sentinels either have to try to get in moving together as a team, which looks like they want to try to do through bot lane
But that means Darkwing's gonna be very split
So he'll have to join them with the TP very likely and be careful not get caught and he's like all the lead for Sentinels
He is the gold lead individually and he's the two-level lead over his mid lane opponent
So Darkwings isn't there. It's a very different looking fight
Compared to when he is able to front to back.
Tudz is just zoning him off. Reheals able to get that bottom turret as now that he becomes it from Darkwings
Dragon's in about half health plus we'll now need to rejoin Furia as I was prepping in a-
Oh my-
The cage landed on you!
Everybody out in ADC, but they didn't kill Fatsunov. He actually survived through it all.
Cyclone from Todd who pushes back in fact the dragon smite of fury. Oh, they keep their 80. They're gonna buy they kill
Sandals jungler and they get the dragon. Yeah, they're gonna bear though. That's the real problem here
That went so bad for sentals
They got that cage on a quirky, but it felt like they just didn't fully commit in actually kill them off
And we're held in even pop alti dark wings didn't pop alti right like that should be a kill
That should be a kill for sure and sentinels have built a really good early leave the game lead and then completely
bungled it in the teamfight. I don't want to see it again if that was just the
feel that came through didn't allow them to get the follow-up or what actually
happened because I feel like as soon as Corky is gauged yeah he has barrier yeah
there's gonna be some heals and stuff coming through but I feel like he should
be dead 10 times out of 10 and I think they should have committed for that but
Fury I guess was just good enough with the counter engage and they end up
winning the fight get the dragon they're gonna get the Baron as well so
let's watch this again. Yes so who was in range to follow this up because I
imagine that they should have had enough if everyone was ready for it. I
I mean, this is a big mistake for Mio.
He's going too far forward, darkling steps up,
there's the cage, oh, we're back alive.
It looks like Hoohi might be caught out now
as he drops down, and they're like,
ah, I haven't talked to you, just get some.
Polymorph's not enough to keep you alive
when there's two enemies on top of you
and Hoohi in a rough position.
That's Baron and another pick.
Now, Paul the Forge got used by Gigo
continuing to engage on the impact,
but then they'll stop when he gets back
further enough into the jungle that he's safe.
I just couldn't be able to farm this tower on bot side
So we need more gold going their way.
The gold thing now going to be completely gone, basically
for Sentinel, so pretty big mistake from them.
And that is the tough thing about League
is you can spend 20 minutes making all the right plays,
building an advantage, building an advantage,
but you misstep in those key moments, and it's all gone.
That's all they're going to be remembered for as well,
as Toots hit by the equalizer,
and now it's Sentinel's time to find a pick.
Shut down, Kredik goes over to Rahel
on the board with the kill.
I need some more of that from Sentinels.
Well, and that's gonna kind of effectively kill a lot of the Baron power play here, right?
So that's gonna really slow them down.
Somebody needs to get up there and answer Gigo, but this will delay them quite a lot.
They knew that he'd used his ulti on the top side, so could be able to chase him down.
They decide to commit to it.
And he decides, you know, I'm gonna hold on the flash.
I'm kind of surrounded here, probably dead regardless.
Rahel grabbing that shutdown is great, but Sentinels still, you know,
in a pretty good spot here.
Now that it's level 17, ornaments are going to be coming in really pretty much across the board.
You can see three are already there.
He has his own candy quicker than me.
He upgraded Cleaver, he upgraded Muramana as well for Corky.
So, you know, another thousand plus or so of stats.
Oh, Huey. Again, in Fury's jungle.
Yeah, there's, oh, he's got impact behind him, but he's getting cut off by Jodo right now.
And Colt Port got as well.
Impact might just be punished for Huey's mistakes.
In fact, it will be Huey that goes down.
Impact will try to escape back.
Grows down the equalizer, hit by the bubble, the Tidal Wave,
Shane knocked up, and Geigo gets that kill.
Huji again getting caught out in Furia territory.
Yeah, I mean, Huji's just trying to play for vision by himself,
which is such a risky game anyway.
But you're playing Lulu.
It's not like you're on Rakan or something,
who can just jump over the wall.
So you ain't barred.
No, he is being very risky and getting punished for it.
So good job by Furia.
Some foreplay here from Huji for sure.
He's just kind of wandering in.
And when you wander in one like that,
I mean, there's the teleporter coming in,
so he felt like, oh, I'm supported by Impact.
I can walk into the jungle here,
but he goes, he's in.
Impact tries to kind of support him,
but I feel like Impact should just ran out through bot
and kind of just save himself.
I think you're gonna have to take the L
that your support is dead,
because it's just the Lulu
that doesn't really matter that much.
But giving over two kills is definitely a lot more costly,
so a big mistake there from Hui and Sentinel's pay for it.
And Wukong is able to lock one unit down for long enough to call the forge god is a long range follow up title
Is the long range follow up like it's just dangerous for an enchanter to be in that position
At any stage of the game that kept on for dark wings
So that is huge that kept always a really big spike obviously
But it is much bigger when you're playing for bigger because amping your passive stacks
So we can't quite see his passive stacks. So 361. So he's a ton
He actually has a lot of passive stacks and then you're getting you know 30% more of that on top
So just the passive from the death cap is giving him over a hundred extra AP basically, you know
That's what I saw on the bottom left right or 880. Sorry
So he's he's gonna hit a thousand this game almost guaranteed unless the game like ends very soon
Which it is up to fury at two ended they've gotten a couple of pigs here now
They're invading on the Sentinels jungle so they're getting somewhat of a lead, but it's like it's still even gold
even dragons. This is not where you would want the Ari Wukong Comp to be at this point of the game.
No, I agree. They do have a big advantage with the front line though.
Gigo is going to be by far the tankiest person on the map. It's not even close.
And Sentinels have to play these fights out smart.
I don't think it's just like a pure outscale front-to-back type thing.
You have to be able to actually just hit front line and play it slow.
If Hongbok dives in, he's going to get focused down and burst down.
Like he is not that tanky. So it's more of these kind of fights.
I feel like where Jarvan has to just ult in and flag and drag out.
And you're all just kiting back with the Lulu, with the cages,
and trying to kill Frontline.
And Sentals are setting up for that fight.
Hop-Block already pokes down.
The Corky Rockets are landing.
Gigo is able to avoid that cage.
So now, here it is, not giving the opportunity
for the seal for all the forge god used.
And it is secured.
It's time to will get the dragon.
And now, it goes over the wall for the Cyclone.
And Gage on the Hop-Block, pushing him out from the fell.
Meanwhile, impact by Tsuspei's Reheal unleashed.
Nobody on him, just the Ornn with the Lulu and power in, as Yanarra gets bubbled at the very end,
but will still pick up one, Furya get the dragon, but will lose a member.
Yeah, they are going to be able to knock down two members because they killed both the soul laners there.
So they killed Uftuz as well as Gigo, and Rahel starting to hurt.
He is going to be doing quite a bit of damage at this point.
But again, you know, good job by Furya, utilizing their ults to create space for Tatsu to guarantee the dragon.
So now, because they bungled that previous fight,
even though they win this fight, it's sole point.
So I like the timing here.
They just throw out the Ornaltie.
They throw down the Nami way.
They say, Humbuck, you cannot approach.
You will just die.
Tatsu flashes in, but look at Rahel here.
As soon as Putsco's forward, he went a little bit too far.
And he gets focused down there by Rahel and Darkwing's,
burst out, and then they're going
to take down the other solo later.
If Rahel doesn't get bold here,
Orphe hits the arc of ruin.
I think they killed JoJo and maybe even IU as well,
because IU had no flash, so lucky that they weren't able to get that chase down and kill.
That is kind of how Sentinels want to play out these fights, but
Cloudsull is going to make things a lot more difficult.
Very close mode. Ooh, close. What's his behind though?
And he's not spotted. This could be pretty scary.
He's also got the spell shield from the Vanshee's Veil.
So Sentinels, who he will now see him and gets charmed up yet again.
A chunk onto the Lulu as Galdalford got his used- Oh! Too early!
as he gets stunned up before the second cat hit, but still has a knock-up here on the dark way.
The vanguards down as it's going to be up to the AD carry Rahel on Inara.
Maybe he can make magic happen, but they just lost two top lane and mid lane.
I guess you don't need the Ornn ultimate. They're going to stand next to a wall.
Yeah, he tried to activate it, but he was too close to the cage. He needed to kind of back up more.
So he can actually have the timing if you'll hit it because the R2,
through and right into the cage. Got stunned. They're gonna get Baron again though. So,
without my period, they knew that there was no Flash on Vhagar. He used it on the previous fight
by that Ornall. So they're up over Funnish here. I want to see if, in fact, had his Zoni available.
Because I feel like he did and I think he just kind of died without using it.
Because this is one of these situations where if they full send it on dark things like that
and everyone is stacked on top, if you have a good equalizer, if you go into the stasis,
you're creating space for Rahel. It's still like a possibility for one flight because Rahel
did have his seekers and was able to use that.
So I felt like there should have been an angle for them
to maybe be able to win there anyway.
But Sentinels get punished.
It was a great angle from Tuts.
You know, he gets behind them and they get punished.
Felt a little bit like a panic fight.
Like those are moments where who he's getting charmed.
I don't know what Kham sounded like in that moment,
but he's probably calling no while he's up here
while the Oran's a ulting, while everyone's
trying to kite back and get away from Piri as engaged.
So just a chaotic moment right there.
But Furia, it's still not a gold lead, but they keep finding these advantages, regardless of the fact that the gold's been even.
Regardless of the fact that Centaur still have a skill in mid laner, Furia are getting these dragons, they're getting these barons, and now with their second baron power play,
I'll see how much more they're able to get. Last time it was only about a 1.5k total lead that they got from it, not that big.
It's just soul. I mean, honestly, soul's what matters now. They're not going to end the game here unless Centaur's really trolled, so...
Call the Forge, got some of the impact.
He has his own is this time around.
He could go and take up a shur shot and then back off.
So we're going to lose some plays.
We're going to be down a bit in gold,
but it's just all about the soul fight, right?
And Sentinels, because they have a little bit of difficulty
in how they're playing out this fight,
I mean, you have engaged with Humbok,
but if Humbok full sends it to the middle of the team,
he's going to instantly die.
So it's not the way to play it out.
So Sentinels do need to be first to the dragon.
They need to make Furio walk in through cages
and through all of that threat that they have.
The Guardian Angel getting completed for Honbok
might change things a little bit,
but that is the difficulties.
They just haven't been able to even really have a smite fight
because Honbok is getting zoned out
by Warno and Nami'al every single time,
and I do think the game is gonna come down to two soul.
Can you actually prevent them from getting Cloud Soul?
Because Cloud Soul is really powerful, just period.
Like the move speed is very, very difficult to deal with,
but it's even more powerful on champions
that utilize the move speed burst
during their ult so well.
Like Tatu, his cycle getting super move speed.
The Ari all getting super move speed.
Even Korky being able to throw out a rocket
and get in that burst of move speed is really, really nice.
It means it's so hard to actually get anyone stuck in cages.
And IU's been landing these rockets as well.
So usually before the fight even starts,
one member of Sentals is gonna be half health
as Fury are setting up for the dragon.
It's up in 15 seconds.
Sentals look like they're gonna approach
to the bottom side.
This is big though.
Where health is finished is IE.
We just got GA.
We just found Toots alone in the bottom side.
Now the rest of Fury are coming in
Call the forge god is used will end under a hell but nobody else
Tuts does get out of there, but no all so that's actually pretty rough for him
We'll see if they can still take the fight anyway
If we carefully has one last charge does not find anything with it
I'm not going to take you waste my chance for free like yeah giga poked out now
It's gonna come down to talk to who sells a cyclone engage in fact
We'll try and watch him the wukong is on the flank is are you still just focus down on how about into the g.a
Flash from are you the dark wings got him the flash from Mordiel first follow up cage on the Gigo
So the big carry on Furia has been dealt with.
But Tatsu is still here.
He might try to actually steal this.
He still has Cyclone, so they know he's over there.
They need to keep him away.
Tatsu has a blast cone.
He can take it in.
Dragons still have health though, so a little early from Furia's jungle or Sentals stopped
hitting the dragon.
They're focused on Tatsu.
The cage goes down again into the clone that's hit.
As Tatsu was able to get out of that one, Rahel jumped forward, now turning onto
the dragon.
Tatsu looking for it!
He got it!
Tatsu with the dragon steal.
He's shut down, but that's the soul for Mario!
Oh man, that's so brutal, and now Impact's probably gonna get chased down here.
I mean, now they have console movement speed.
You're not gonna be able to run away.
I think he might be fine.
Yeah, the cage will keep him alive.
But that is tough.
They were not able to lock down Tatu.
I mean, they just need to commit for the fight.
I feel like they're trolling.
Like, after you kill IU, stop hitting the dragon.
Just fight them.
You're gonna have a 5v4.
They have no AD carry.
And I feel like they just, I don't know, they bungled that pretty hard.
That's a really poor finish to that fight.
You know, the initial play, I think, is pretty good.
I will say, Honbok, I think, played that whole sequence
very poorly, though.
He was just kind of standing in the face of IU,
took so much damage before.
Yeah, you have GA, but you don't want to just die for free.
And then by the time he goes in, his Cataclysm
didn't even cast because he died there.
Yeah, so the cage doesn't even come down.
And then you have a 5-U4.
Just push on them.
Like, push them out, right?
You know, be able to actually flex on them a bit there.
They seem so nervous when I don't feel like Fury has the damage to win a fight or even close to without IU.
So I feel like they really misplayed that. They should have been able to gotten the dragon.
It should be three to three, but instead you've given over Cloudsoul, even though you're 3k up and you have good scaling.
Cloudsoul does more than negate that. So they are behind and they'll have to see if they can figure out a way to win this regardless.
It's just gonna be so hard to actually get anyone caught on the cage, I feel like, anymore.
I know yeah, I mean you are entirely cork. You can just spam old and then use the movement speed perma
There's a cool down on the on the like activation of it
You're not gonna am every rocket
But you do always get the flat move speed that you they gain from Cloud Soul and then every I can't remember what the cool
Down is I don't 20 seconds 36 whatever it is
You get a burst of moves you when you out
Alt as well
Okay fair enough well still just the base movement speed at least it's a lot of help you get around there
And now fury they don't have the gold lead
But they have the stats from the dragons and they have the ability to snap engage with their wukong
So let's see if they're able to find those sentinels currently setting up around the Baron spawning in 20 seconds
They also have GA then it's now because humbug his his was used and tattoo just bought one
So tattoo has a fresh GA. I think it's a flank here. It could just be lights out. I feel like sentinels spotted
Yeah, it actually just walks past. Yeah, they have to be very careful if we're hell walks the wrong way
He could be dead
And Dodger changed the Cyclone, in fact goes into the Zonius faces, and the Wild Growth keeps him alive!
Oh! Barely gets out of there!
But now they're going to go Baron, right? Because he used Flash, E.C.L.I.Z.E, Zonius, Wild Growth.
E.C.L.I.Z.E is still up, he has the TP, and to call the Forge God was used, the Cyclone was used.
So I actually think Sentals have a window here because Impact didn't die, that they can stop Fury AF.
Fury are not going to go straight for the Baron.
Yeah, I thought he had used E.C.L.I.Z.E, but not having used it completely changed that, obviously.
Charmed a humbug again getting poked out he blinding drags forward not going to get chunked any more past that
I was not landing these rockets yet humbuck still about half health as Fyria will decide to just back off
Yeah, I can go back off
So Senile should be able to move in and try to clear out a bit of vision here
They really wanted to deny vision in this area, but you don't really want a fully committed fight until humbuck has his GA back
So still have a bit to wait
Yeah, losing your flash looks unrumbled, but not the end of the world
We'll see about 30 seconds probably for Humbug's GA, it's the last little tick coming up here, so yeah,
if they can wait that out and again gives Darkwing's a little more time to keep farming up five items on Vagar,
like he's at that moment, he's got to be over like 1200 AP at this point.
He's full build, so he is really really strong. Rahel's getting there too.
The one shot is going to be a bit harder because there's Mikael's, there's Hexdrinker on IU,
There's barrier and there's heal and there's a lock it now on Gigo
So they have a lot of tools
Oh, they actually keep them safe which I think is really really smart at this point
Your individual tankiness is pretty much irrelevant for Gigo like in the super late game
So you're tanky enough. I think you should just go lock its knife out
You know these these kind of lakey items are much more valuable to just keep your carry alive because
Are you living for another couple seconds or living period is so much more valuable than you being slightly more tanky
individually at this point, so I always love when when orange kind of make that pit at late game and I just complete his maw
So he's even more tanky against that one shot now for dark wings
But eventually you will just hit so much AP that nothing matters and because fury haven't dealt game ending damage with the soul
Now we're just kind of looking at an elder fight, right?
And it just comes down again to one potential fight here
I mean elder or the Baron right now. Yep fury are
teleporting Gigo into the pit, and Sentinels will have to find a way to answer.
Right now, Rahel's in the midway, shoving that one out.
Fury have the dragon to 12k.
Still hitting it, not immediately bursting it down though.
Sentinels will now go for the approach.
Shot to fight Team Gage here on the impact.
Still at the stasis.
Call the force, got the land title.
They follow up, impact is down, and Fury are running away with the team fight.
Double kill to IU.
Rahel does not have the space to work with Gigo.
is too tanky, and Rehels just cannot get through that health bar.
Furia show up at the Baron, and they'll get a clean ace of the Sentinels, 0 for 5.
Well played, well played by Furia. They're going to be able to take this down.
I mean Sentinels were so stacked, their interest in that fight is just about as bad as it could be.
I mean, you have Darkwing stacked directly on top of Hombok.
We stacked directly on top of Impact.
They walk in, Darkwing dies, not using Flash, not using Zhonya's.
It's a rough end to the game where they had really good shots to take this,
but Furia in the big moments they straight up outplayed them.
Tatu finds the engage, Tatu found all the dragons,
Furia find the game one win in this best of five,
and strike first in the upper bracket in America's Cup.
Yep, well done, they just find that explosive engage.
They were not connected to their bot lane either,
so we're hell-kicking to really get involved in that fight.
You want to be set up in a way.
She's excited. You want to be set up in a way where if they're gonna full set it on your vagar
They have to do it through the other members and Rahel is hitting back, right?
So I'm gonna go over. I want to watch that fight. Yeah, as they all will go take a look at that
I want to talk about who I would say is front-run. I think Tatu just controlled that entire game
And when they were talking about player of the game
I'll also credit to IU for doing the damage landing those rockets, but Tatu's control over the jungle
His patience finding that almost pick out of impact which then meant that he didn't have the flash and they were able to set up at the
Baron a little more efficiently great stuff from tattoo, but
As they all what do we want to look at here?
I mean, it's a bear and fight the last bear and fight look we got to watch how this actually decided the game
And I just think it's it's really kind of lazy the way that symbols are approaching this
I mean they didn't know exactly when the Baron was going to be going down
But honestly you've already lived through a couple of bear and bushes
I don't think they're really matters that much at this point of the game
You could have probably just waited for elder if you don't think you have have a good chance of this
So we'll look for at it from sentels POV right so they know the Ari's in the brush
They've spotted him there right they just spotted them dark ways they will see it now
They flag the Baron so now you have your information. You're all right. It's about 13,000 health on the Baron
You know that the Ari is playing right around this spot
So you need to get these guys all joined up right you want Honbok walking in first because he is his GA back
You want Darkwing's and Rahel behind, you want Impact around him.
But what's gonna happen here is they just get a little bit antsy, I feel like.
Darkwing keeps walking up and trying to poke.
Look where Rahel is.
Why are you posturing for a fight when Rahel has gone mid-wave?
I think Rahel is actually like, what he's doing here is probably fine.
But you can-
The team needs to be prepared for it.
Either he needs to go to them or they need to not be where they are.
You can call for either way, but I think given that you still see it and it's 12,000 health,
you don't really need to rush to play.
Yeah, so we're gonna go for it. I think it's in the in the line brush, right?
I think I think he snuck into the line brush during this because if I remember correctly, he's the one that finds the engage
Yeah, so they have no idea Tatu's there. Yeah, and and this is fine
If Darkwing's is back here with Rahel and you get at your front line of gauge on now
Imagine they're going for this engage and Rahel is standing right here with who he and Darkwing's is standing right here
Cage gets dropped immediately. You're just getting roasted by the two carries, right?
It's a very different fight, but instead impact is caught out how is Reheal supposed to even join this and
Darkwings as well as humbug are completely stacked on top of impact and
You know it's the fight is already already done right so dark wings is gonna get just complete balance house
He's knocked up dark wings is knocked up and he is just completely CC 100 zero
Reheal just now starts joining the fight when the game is already over GA has popped
impact in dark wings are both dead and
And for me, this is again just like just really poorly done as far as the setup of the fight.
The execution of the fight is irrelevant because you lost it before the fight started.
So, I just think that is a really disappointing way to see Sentinels lose that game, where I feel like
if you have the correct battle lines and where hell is there, Darkwing's behind, they engage on impact.
All of a sudden, Wukong, Ari are both caged in and your carries can watch out them at this point in the game.
I mean, how much AP did Darkwing save? Let's check.
Yeah, it had to have been like 1200 or something.
1200 and 8.
Yeah.
So, you know, the chat is kind of like wild in.
I don't know if I can even drag that.
But you can still see.
So between 1224, 62 damage just with the ulti.
And then one Q is over 1,000.
One W is 1,600 damage.
A W Q would probably just kill Tuts.
Yeah, yeah.
Or at the very least, you put him to basically no help.
Right?
I mean, he has MR, but like W Q and some ambient damage
kills you.
QR is pretty much a one-shot on a carry or they're out of a fight and they use bearer and everything so
It's a sad end to the game for Sentinels. I feel like they played most of it quite well, but pretty disappointing stuff
I believe we either have comms listen in or
BGP I believe we're gonna take a look at the post game break down here as
Thank you as ill for that breakdown. Unfortunately sentinels stacked like Legos and Furia
Knocked down the tower big damage from puts in the mid lane big damage from IU as well
and just well played well executed late game team fights. It wasn't just that one
there were a couple other moments leading up to that where Fiora were able to get
you know better position fights. We saw Humbach in that early play around the
drag and also kind of having some panic and gauges and just not finding the
right avenue in so yeah this is not the Sentles I expected to see they look
much more calm and collected in their first series versus red and now it
seems like they just I don't know maybe they lost some of that emoji
some of the confidence. I feel like they played pretty common collected for 90% of the game. I just
think they they just failed in those big moments, which I would say to me kind of is what I thought
were the strengths and weaknesses of Sentinels. I feel like, you know, when we were talking about
hallmark before the game, you know, I was saying, I think his early game is really good. Tony's
has been like game decision-making is poor. Yeah. And I think that kind of showcased here,
losing the GA for free at the earlier dragon fight, you know, stepping way too far forward,
letting IU just kind of free hit you,
then obviously the setup here,
it's just a panic moment, right?
For a lot of these players,
they are gonna feel that pressure.
Obviously, Hui and Impact have a tremendous amount
of playoff experience.
Darkwings and Hombok and Rahel have a lot less.
And I think in these moments,
they just kind of panicked
and they didn't have the proper setup.
Otherwise, I think they could have probably won that fight
and maybe won the game.
But a man with some great experience
taught to the player of the game.
Again, he just had such a high impact
Wukong performance. Very impressed. Every time we see this guy on Scram, and we like to talk
from the other side about inspired and how much he was talking about tattoo last year.
And now it's always a treat when we get to view him as North American audiences. So that's
game one, going to Furia, Sentinels backs against the wall a little bit here as they
are ready.
Greatly, it's a chance of a sales prediction, where does that ensure a break before back
Like we gave it two.

Let's see his teams now for a period of days.
They're on a roll.
They 2-0 Cloud9, they take out Sentinels in game one.
This one was very, very close though.
Poor execution down the stretch from Sentinels.
Definitely could have gone either way.
And credit to Furia for just playing better
in those big moments.
And now they have that game advantage.
And we'll see if Sentinels can bounce back
in this second one.
Yeah, it was a unique pick for Darkwing's
playing the Vega in the mid lane.
And we got to that point where
he was able to start one shot at people.
But I hear you have to be able to press your keys
to do that. And if you're knocked up by Ornn old, knocked up by Anami old, knocked up by
Ornn headbutt, you're not actually like it doesn't work. Like if you press your E it actually
doesn't do anything.
Yeah. I mean, after he died and they killed the base, he was still up 3k. He was giga
ahead of Tuts, but Tuts did more with less gold and less scaling.
So.
Props to Tuts.
Yeah, it did a really good job. You know, I do think that the vast majority of the
They played well, but Sentinels wouldn't mattered around the dragon
They didn't execute that well and at the Baron that was really bad
That's one that they're gonna be reviewing for sure and one that they're gonna want back
Rahel was not with the team at all
But even ignoring that you can't have three players stacked against a team that's full of a OECC
It's just you never gonna win tough approach
And that's also how C9 had lost to fury if you go back a day or two days earlier in their best of three
We saw a lot of like Vulcan flashing in as Leona with the rest of the team not behind
And it was like a round to the baron team fights that
Viria is executing and the LCS teams are not able to do it.
So far, Sentinels do have a chance to turn it around.
Of course, this is a best of five.
And that one was way more controlled.
You know, when I compared to the Z9 games,
I think those ones fell a lot more out of hand, right?
Whereas Sentinels, I do think, is playing quite well.
Overall, you know, the early games were solid.
They were winning all their lanes.
They won really, I think they did well,
at least in all three lanes.
And we're in a good spot,
But we will see if they can improve upon game one here
and make this competitive series.
Or if Furia is just going to knock both LCS teams
lower bracket, which would mean that we'd
have C9 versus Sentals in lower bracket,
guaranteed one of our teams will be out.
Yeah, guaranteed one of our teams are out.
Guarantee one of our teams are the finals.
I'm thinking about it.
Actually, we're already guaranteed by our tier list.
I'm not looking at the bright side here.
But also, speaking too soon, there's
more games to be played here.
Love the respect for IEU's Yasuo, as that's banned away.
They did pull that out in game two on day one of America's Cup.
And it's going to be first pick Pantheon for Sentinels.
OK, so Pantheon going to come through.
You're already assuming it's going to be Talia
unless it does get taken away.
But Ash was not banned.
So we're going to get Serafine Ash for Furia.
It was banned in the first game.
And it kind of works as a double ban because really,
people are only playing Ash with Serafine and only
Serafine with Ash for the most part these days.
So you kind of know if you ban one, you ban the other.
It's kind of like when Zyra comes through.
So then I'm thinking, so they could log it in right now, as they do, I was also wondering, do they take the Taliyah, because Vi is also up, so they could go like, Vi-Taliyah combo, and then have the Seraphine later on to pick up.
But no, they do just log in the Seraphine, and it's not Taliyah early for Sentals, it is Jhin barred to answer that bot lane 2v2.
Yeah, exactly. I think it's more about surviving the lane, you know, in this case. When you have Jhin coming through with Pantheon, though, you're thinking about divers that are going to pair well with it on the lane.
with it on the top side, because you don't want to have Pantheon just going on a one-way trip.
Bard is very effective at setting up the initial engages against champions like this that are quite low mobility.
Skarner is an interesting answer. Usually it's one that you only see people go towards later on in the series,
once all the prime AD junglers are already gone.
But Tatjus is going to go towards the Skarner here pretty early, and he is maybe just making the same breed of,
All right, we have Ash Serafine, you picked Bard, you're gonna temperate fate on their head and you're gonna try to full send it, right?
And if you do that, you have Encore as the counter engage and you have the Impale as the counter engage, which can be quite effective.
So we'll see how Sentinels wants to ban around that. If I'm Furia, I'm banning divers, I'm banning champions that, you know, work well for them back and get into the backline.
So I'm thinking Gwen, I'm thinking Renekton, I'm thinking, you know, maybe Zahan and champions along those lines.
Maybe Aurora, do you still think it's a top laner?
Yeah, I don't think it back plays Aurora.
Well, I mean, you might play it, but I wouldn't want to see him play it.
I just don't really associate those types of champs with his success, honestly.
And Darklings is not really the diver type of player.
So I feel like for Furia, you already know Darklings is probably going to play Control Mage,
so just don't worry about that.
And I would just kind of target Impact's pool.
Because if you just have Impact on a tank or whatever, Darklings on a Control Mage,
what is Bantian going to do this game, right?
It's going to be much harder for him as Berenekton would be the obvious one.
No, they go for the Taliyah.
So they still say we can't ban on all the diving top laners.
Let's just take away the mid lane combination with the Pantheon instead.
I honestly thought that they would have just maybe taken Taliyah,
but they're going to go a different route.
So they're going to save one ban for that.
I felt like when it fell through the first first stage,
they might try to just grab for themselves.
But it is going to be probably the Akali ban would be my guess
since I don't know.
I think they're going to know Jax, interesting. So, Kali is going to be left up, not too worried about that for now.
But, Syndra will remain on the band page here for some time.
Yeah, Pantheon, when I think of Akali's strengths, having to point and click stun to set up, then follow up CC from something like a Jhin
can get scary to play a squishier melee champion like Akali if you're going in to the Pantheon's range.
So, maybe that's where some of those come from also, it's like we already are kind of showing a tool to point and click stop to Akali and her tracks.
But that being said, he presses stun as you press your out and then you're just in biz and you're not actually getting anything out of it.
So you still have to have the AoE damage to actually kill them in it.
Honestly, I can't think of what picks Sentals could go for that would make me like their draft more than Pyrrhae.
It's I feel like I almost don't even care what the last picks are.
I already feel like Pyrrhae won the draft.
I think that their draft is really strong.
Look at this frontline.
They have so many different options for engage, for kill.
Rize is not saving it for me at all.
I mean, I'm thinking to zero what's going on.
It feels hilarious to say this before champions pick against three, but I'm not usually a
Reaction Andy with the draft, but oh my god. All right, dude. I hate our draft. We're going the rise
I think we're going down to get anivia is up. I am imagining tuts. We'll just play that
It's a classic counter into the rise around the right now
This trap looks horrible
Sentles at a bug actually who is killing scion and and scarter with his a seraphine behind the by the way
I guess the hem
Are you more convinced now you got your dive champ nope nope? Okay?
I mean you can win any game very clearly right you go in any game
I feel like a colleague is weird and without this draft
But yeah, I'm just gonna do it because he's in a colleague guy
I feel like you just want to play a control major this so I think that is a weird disjointed fifth pick to be honest
But maybe doesn't matter. I just feel like their their backline will be so hard to actually deal with
Obviously early game can change things a lot and I do think the Akali pick was not good at all
I don't think a quality makes that save our picks
Because I was on your page I saw the first cuz if they just go control mates here
I'm like how the hell are we getting to their back line and killing off Ash and Azure or whatever right?
You like I just don't see it
With impale and encore and all this all the CC that could come through so I was feeling really nervous
I mean, it's league though draft draft is is like a force multiplier your play is what makes the difference right at the end of the day
I mean draft can set you up with a big advantage or a big disadvantage
But that being said sometimes a draft can look really one-sided and then someone gets very ahead and all of a sudden nothing matters
Right, it's like if the sign gets pounded into the dust and is super far behind then you're not really worrying about him
But Jin is not a tank killer rises not a tank killer. Yeah impact can win the 1v1
But again, you don't really have people to kill Sion.
And I don't feel that you have the easiest ways to get to the back line, pass the Sion, and kill off the carries either.
So, Akali makes it easier because, yeah, you might feel a CC to Akali, you might feel it just burst came down.
But I do think it's really, really hard to reach IU in this, and that's why I thought a control mage would pair well with it.
Because, okay, you can pantheon ult on his head, you're trying to send in, but impale, each doll has impact, on core.
That's tough.
can be very very hard and to your point about you know sentels maybe it's just
about execution the composition being a multiplier for skill expression same
can be said for the cover picker collie this is one of touch's favorite
champions so even though it doesn't necessarily fit I still think you know
we know what he's capable of on it was banned in game one let's see if it's
gonna work for fury and game two as they're up 1-0 in this series we're
onto the rip for game two of fury versus sentels yeah like you said it
goes both ways I mean the collie maybe the college just gets a bunch of kills
and Ryzen than New Cares. You're just one-shutting the January fight, so that's obviously valuable.
If you're going to do that. But yeah, no, I did really like
what Fury of Jastik threw the first four. I feel like they call it a super random,
because I don't think that Cyan and Skarner really want to dive. I think that they want to feel.
But you can play it in many different ways. So we will see how it goes here. Definitely very
word for Sentmills, though, and this one, I thought our game one draft was a lot better
than yeah a lot better this one not quite the same at least not to my
preference but that's that's the interesting thing about league right
and that's why I think draft can be fun to talk about is that you know I will
sometimes literally talk to both coaches immediately after a draft and they
will both tell me oh my god these guys are clueless they got completely
blasted we got this and this they have no chance and you go to the other guy
they're like, can you believe those idiots picked that?
And it's like, it's the pick that team A thinks
that won them the draft.
Yeah, yeah.
And team B is like, who's morons?
What were they doing?
And then whatever team loses the game is like, oh,
it wasn't draft if it was just, you know.
We watched that six minute.
The players always think it's draft.
And the coaches never think it's draft.
Yeah, that six minute scuttle.
It's really doing a lot of heavy lifting
for draft defense so far.
Exactly.
That's here.
Yeah.
You picked the ultimate scaling team,
and then you just hit the game at five minutes, that's cuddle.
Well, draft-ive, what can you do?
That's the ticket right there.
Alright, well, some of our Dark Wings
doesn't get the early push out of the Tuts,
so we're not seeing Diakali run away with the early game here,
but I think that's to be expected.
You're the range into the melee matchup,
and Tuts is you can be trying to get those levels
and get that first back as safely as possible.
I mean, this is actually pretty good chunk from Dark Wings.
He also gets the ward down
to spot out where Tatsu is going.
Yep, but he hasn't gotten the pushing out yet
or anything, so he's just looking to recall.
He's just hard shoving and he just wants to tear recall pretty much guaranteed and so that's kind of what you're looking for on that side
You do have to give some respect over to to tattoo in that threat of a gang
So who he was at least threatening that he could have warded, you know, he's walking over and say
I've got to grab the ward over here. Um, so we'll see if Phantom Ward, you know
Yeah, exactly. We'll see if they do try to do that
Those kind of plays are the plays that don't do anything when you're playing solo queue because no one's no one's good enough to even
Yeah, I could or react to it, but the fake ward and can actually be a big deal sometimes in pro play
Which is kind of fun when people just walk out and are he has a word here
And then you drop your word later in a different spot and people try to circumvent that war
They're playing around it doesn't exist. So I always think that's cool. Oh nice trade from him back
He's not gonna be on the Gigo and Gigo should be able to walk away from that one
But cool down there too long at this point, but that was still really well played
He has not a prime so he goes in knocks him up. It's the turn of the turn
I think it's one more knock up maybe if you get a flash, but no
He goes just has to walk away from the wave
I mean he got a CS advantage here and got the wave shoved in but
Impact showing the strength of the Zahen in the 1v1 matchup. Yep waves coming towards him though
So honestly, he doesn't really care. I mean yeah, Gigo is lower on any fee you lost the trade
But truly who cares to sound and you are farming so that is as long as you're farming and not dying on sign
You're kind of just winning right that's kind of how the champion works. So
So there's a lot of matchups that, oh yeah, this is really good into Sion, you know, like
Renekton and Atrox and so on and all these things, but largely unless you can really slam
home an advantage or create a huge gold lead from that, they can turn into a team fight
advantage.
One day they will release a top laner that can actually just kill him as who he has
to flash away.
Ah, you got back into the lane and the focus fire, first blood to fear his bot
laner and it's going from bad to worse percent.
No, it does not. Impact's getting ganked up here.
Hanbok will come in. Impact's buying a lot of space for it.
Flash for them. Hanbok, they get the kill on the Gigo.
But Impact is so low, the side will chase them down
with a couple otters. Bop, bop.
Traits the kill back.
Sion Zombie is way too fast.
It's so fast.
Like, what is that?
He's half a screen away from Impact.
And Impact never stops running at any point,
and it still catches up and kills him.
That is wild, but good job by Hanbok
getting in there and getting a kill back.
But who he really messed up on bot side, that's a ghost Ash.
So if you overstep like that and you get rooted, you get slowed down,
you are not getting away in a long lane unless you're hugging the other side.
He need to be playing to the left side and try to actually use magical journey.
Like that is the way you actually disengage from those.
So when you're on the right side here, you know it's warded.
Like the only way out, I feel like at that point is you needed to
probably try to flash left and magical journey through that fat wall.
He's trying a magical journey through the Alcatra. You can't find the angle, you know.
The angle is really slight there.
Oh, I actually didn't see the start of this hop-off.
Yeah, he was actually in a forward position.
So it wasn't an impact to push too far forward. It was an impact to setting up hop-off.
And then Tattoo was just there already.
And then we see the rest of this. Yeah, that's a pass-off.
They bait you because he has four abilities in zombie form.
They all do the same thing. You should just go faster. Run at him.
You have four abilities, but you can press one of them and they all go in close.
Do you have four abilities or do you have one ability that you guys can look at a lot?
Oh!
Photo, finish, escape from that one.
I want to say that was sub 10 HP.
Yeah, it has to be.
Sometimes lucky.
Sometimes lucky.
Sometimes.
Uh-oh, who he though.
Who he's good at.
I was talking right there.
The impact will land into the wall.
This stun from the Skarner, but the magical journey over the wall.
Cosmic binding.
Hop on goes through.
There's no damage.
Bob Ray follows up dangerous assault will absorb a lot of the cool bounce they got talked to but hop-up will fall as well
Flash for
Kill to the edge. Oh, he is what it's me
Hit the binding to look cool. No, it didn't look cool at all
Looks cool in the gray screen. All right impact those for the grim deliverance doesn't have enough damage though and
and he goes able to back off okay okay looking bad okay it was looking bad in
the draft and I think it's looking a lot worse in the gameplay so box two and
one yep that's true kind of exciting yeah if you just don't look at the
bottom yeah don't look at the bottom half of the scoreboard yeah I will say
under a central damage bit here they played it out pretty well who he's
to be able to kite out, good binding, they have the deadly flourish from Rahel, so really
get CC chain in onto the Otzi, and they are able to knock him down, all might get a good
job, absorbing a ton of that damage, but then who he had no business walking back up here
and gives over a free beat. I mean Rahel still has good health, but you just have such low
consistent damage, that is always the problem with Jhin, unless you are very far ahead.
I just feel like every time Jhin gets picked, you can pretty much just a schedule
boss it's just you're just accepting defeat when you click jinn you're like yeah
especially before the topgainers lose this game let's just go jinn yeah if they're
showing like renektin or like Gwynn or something maybe you know something
I don't know man that sounds horrible against those two okay well what if
feel not as bad against there's nothing that's why it's jinn they're showing a
rora top lane yeah then you're gonna die to the aurora it gives her a W before
we done yeah just a little deadly flourish on the way out I'm telling you
man jinn is just a scheduled loss you lock it in when you're down to lose
it's it has a little stuff it's win rate in LCS this year is crazy I would say
jinn players are probably upset with that statement but I know in 80 carry
players they're probably like yeah I mean come on before champions as they'll
knows. I mean, Jhin just sucks. Spawling is super OP.
Tuts actually taking some big damage here from Darkwing's, but he's able to back off just fine.
Doesn't go for the all-in. Are you looking up win rates? What are we looking at for Jhin here?
I'm trying to find the win rate.
Well, all you're doing for that are looking for that.
Hombok's going to go for a reset, as Tatu is on the bottom camps.
And the waves gonna shove away from Sentence here. Looks like they have more caster minions in the wave right now
We gotta be careful as the skarner could look for a play onto them
But how about we'll actually head right back to the bot side
He has the grand starfall. He actually might just look to you. He's got no camps like humbug has to be looking for something down here
All right, we've got the 36% win rate. Honestly. It's not as bad as I thought that's still cattle. It's 40
It's 43
They throw out the temper straight onto IU, the encore will land. Only had a humbot but it was buffered.
IU's able to sidestep the deadly flourish as Tatu comes in.
Ui cannot land a stun.
Tatu just exhaled the impact into the wall and mid lane though.
We have a 1v1, Darkwing's again escapes, died from humbot, but Tatu flashing forward for the kill.
Ui's gonna go down as well.
I don't know, we need to go into that turret.
Why are they trying to go for two different people?
How about he's trying to solo the same thing while the ball ain't trying to kill IU. I was no flash
Yeah, why didn't they just kill IU makes zero sense
Try to return again from impact right there on the Gigo
He's trying to find a solo kill up topside, but it's just so hard against the side
And he's actually pretty low himself as a couple of songs goes out from deliverance will be flashed by Gigo throws back with the
Primal scream dodging the decimating smash impacts fancy feet right now
But he's low on a mana low on health ego will miss that cue and impacts
Well, actually trade back with another dread of return heels back up with grass with the undying
They bought time for hot box to come in who uses the W to get in range for the cue
Geego's got the shield. Yep. You're gonna be able to survive there. Good flash on the groom deliverance keeps him alive
And sentinels aren't able to get one kill back. Well, yeah, that bot lane died was actually crazy
I don't understand why they split like why are you focusing the Serpene who is actually the one who has the flash
Oh, are you slowed captive audience did land and that sets up who he and Reheal to just chase him down shut down
And much even go to send those bot laners. That's good. Why you with a little bit of each little bit below nation
You know all sense of security. That's good. Okay. They were feeling very secure after that time
Okay, let's watch this one more time.
See, Ash has no flash. Okay, I guess Serpene still had no flash, too, but I just don't understand, like, hit one target.
Our whole combo is about stunning into deadly flourish.
Hit down just needs to W the Ash and then deadly flourish out of it.
Ash dies for free, and then you can't even have this fight.
Like, you don't have to worry about getting pulled under the tower because I use dead and they're just running away.
So, I just truly do not understand what the communication could have been there.
I'd be really interested in the columns because that just feels like
I don't even know I just truly cannot understand what the communication could have been there
Time to get the crap moving. He was the one that actually impaled the humbuck underneath the turret there as dark wings yet again
In a 1v1 tuts is really trying to find these outplays
That's now three in a row that he's looked for here as perfect execution will not have enough damage to sure can flip lands
But who he's right behind dark wings
So tuts will not take it
Good pressure there from Tets, but yeah, thankfully for Darkwings.
Got pretty lucky, lived with 10 HP on that first all in, and has been able to survive the next couple with calm play.
Just kind of using the realm warp to get out.
I mean, in fact, you know, he's smacking Gigo a little bit, but the damage is not very threatening,
and Gigo's kind of hit that point where Sion very quickly hits, where you were just not threatened.
You could just kind of fight the wave.
I'm considering fighting this.
Temperate fate lands, but I mean the rest of fury are here. The Chief Chris Laro on to the
On-Court setup. JCC Darkwing's will go down that time as Hanbog goes to the Grand Starfall
and picks up the dragon. Sentinels get the objective, but it's a double kill to Tuts and now Sentinels need to get out of dodge.
Tattoo from behind lands the appeal of the Hanbog and will just carry him away from the turret.
Tuts is rooted up, but Rhehlogist does not have the vision, does not have the damage.
Tombock tries to trade it back, but IU will get the kill.
It's an objective for three kills, and now Ra'El slowed two.
Can't get back to the turret, he's fine.
Yeah, they have the anti-timing there.
This one, I don't blame them as much.
I mean, the Crystal Arrow hits right as the Tantana's going in,
and then Tatu just kind of eased all the inbox over the wall,
so it kind of gets split in that way.
At the least, Sentinels did get the dragon,
but losing three kills for the dragon,
definitely not what you want,
and they haven't even had to start dealing with Ego, and it just feels like
you're playing Ghostblade, Jhin, and a Ryze who's not really accelerated against
Ego, who's gonna be so difficult to deal with, so
I mean, you can always win Team Bites regardless of your comp
if you can play it perfectly, but it is very, very hard
because I'm trying to think about how they actually even wanna play it, and it feels like
you basically wanna temper fate Ashe, and hopefully Seraphine too
And then Grand Star fall in somehow gets a hand in there.
Jin opens up the Alps and you're trying to just kind of one shot their carries.
But it feels very difficult to do that.
And then even if you hit the temperate on both those members,
how are Sion and Starner not preventing you from doing anything there?
How is Seraphine and Encore not coming out?
That's kind of what I'm worried about.
I just don't really see a realistic fight that they win
because if you're hitting front to back you lose a thousand times out of a thousand.
I got it. You just have to hope and pray the key goes not there. You just feel like a science
I could be the fight. We don't have to worry about it. We're not talking to be there too
Except for Ash not be there. Yeah, you say if we just find IU alone if everyone else's
At the same time, I think we can actually have a pretty good shot killing that
Not a hundred percent. You know has some of their spells available still but not the worst total gold right now
It is IU leading the charge reheal not too far behind Sentinels over all our 1.3 K behind
And that's spread out between mid bot and support.
So no single player has ran away with the big lead.
You can at least give that to Sentinels.
But as the game goes on, it's not going to get easier for them
for all the reasons you've been highlighting.
But the team fight is still going to be almost impossible for them.
They're going to have to find creative ways to find their own gold lead.
And the issue now is that, so it's just accelerated, right?
Darkwing said Minimal will live in the 1v1 every single time.
He hadn't gotten any kills.
If Akali is just farming 0-0-0 against the 0-0 rise, you are happy about that.
And you could maybe say, oh, we'll just play through side lanes, Ryze will get to a point where he can win the 1v1,
and maybe he'll kind of spread the map and find picks that way with Pantheon.
And maybe that's your problem-solving way because, hey, we have Bard, we have Pantheon, we have Realm War.
Yeah, we have these outside lanes.
We're going to catch people in transition.
But all of a sudden, Akali gets two kills and then the assist from that team fight.
Oh, Impact's actually struggling here in the 1v1.
He lands a dread of a turn, but it's so low.
He has a passive stacked up, so Niko's not going to get the kill.
Grand Star falls in underneath the turn.
He's got the shield grim deliverance for the damage.
Hanbok's tanking it up. They get the kill, but topside! Flash from the Shurik and flip.
Tuts will not find his own kill and Sentinels are able to retreat from Gigo under the turret.
All right, well executed. They get the kill and they avoid the kill topside.
Yeah, that was good. I feel like Impact should have just tanked it up though,
because he had his passive stacks, so he could have just used his revive instead of forcing Hanbok
to do that. I think it would have made it a lot easier. He's probably going to save the flash
from Hanbok as well. The Darkwing's surviving. We're going to look for a fix.
Call here on the IU Jojo's gonna try and body block as many of these as he can but now the tempered fade dark wings on the plank
Tattoo trying to get onto the rise. He's all alone. The rest of symbols are trying to get in there as the impenetrable
And on the two but Jojo and I were split from talk to teleport in from tuts the ecology trying to get the damage and talk
We'll get the kill under who he thought he was still alive and furia
Are just running through the hell far as of Sentinel the double kill the tattoo tuts on the killing spree and
And Furia will get the Herald, the food.
Yeah, those last couple shots from the Jhin curtain call did not connect at all.
The third and the fourth shot both missed, which honestly was pretty surprising.
And then IU survives as long as he survives.
Things are going to look good.
And this is kind of what I'm talking about, where it's so difficult.
I mean, Gatt and Zahennan was not there, but the whole team wasn't there for Furia either.
And it's very tough for Darkwings and Hombok to be relevant, to be in a position to actually damage the backline
without getting CC'd by the frontliners and without getting CC'd by the on-court, we kind of got to see that.
And now it is a 3,000 gold lead here.
So here's one more time. I mean, IU steps too far forward for sure.
Nice deadly push, and they extend them up.
Stars great. It does start great, but both the third and the fourth shot missing is very surprising.
It goes, puts the uprights there.
Yeah, I mean, having been able to connect onto IU has put it in pretty good as it's in hop-up.
This kind of comes back, this is a good example of how League of Legends can release new ball from execution.
Imagine if Honbox had Flash and he could Flash out of the Skarner and stun IU when IU dies instantly.
Sure, yeah.
And he does not have Flash because Impact didn't tank the tower on the bot lane dive.
Right? And that's one of those things where Domino's, it is, it's actually crazy Domino's.
And I mean maybe they disagree and they feel like they've played the bot lane dive correctly.
From my point of view, Impact should have always been tanking that and just used the passive for the revive.
And then Hanbok still has his flash. IU maybe gets one shot there,
and maybe the teamfight is completely different,
and maybe the game is completely different,
but that's not the way they played it.
He lost his flash on bot side,
and that means he gets scarner ulted.
That means that IU walks away,
and if you can't one shot IU,
he's going to do way more consistent damage than anyone on your team.
Yeah, Tattoo impaling into the encore with beautiful setup.
His impact was not spotted in this brush bot side.
Fiora have multiple members hanging around Sentinel as well.
Grand Starfall is available.
Hanbok could look for a big engage.
As impact will spot out two members, dodges the stun,
Tattoo gets in there, has the impale available,
flashed by impact.
So summoner spell committed to survive
and the Herald was dropped and it will not get the charge.
The arrow goes wide and now they get into the Herald.
The top counter-fighter is at the temperate table block
and they outcrop a couple of members,
but Sentinels still face themselves and engage.
They got Tattoo's flash out because Rest of the Area
can't quite get into the fight yet.
They have their top laner joining up,
but a little late and Sentinels do hold the turret for now.
Yep, I mean Tatu is not that thank you to be honest,
but even him you can't knock down.
And the sign is giving me way harder.
Sign's giving me way harder to kill.
Obviously that started really poorly
because in fact that spotted he has to use
both the Grim Deliverance and the Flash to get away.
And then they decide, you know what?
It's probably not gonna get better.
We just need to try to force things regardless.
So they are gonna decide to just send it,
but the CC is always gonna be the problem for Kira.
I mean, Humbock arrives and I don't know if he was like mashing against Salt or maybe he wanted to hold it for later in the fight
But he didn't get it off and ends up losing so much his health during that CC
Jin is just never gonna threaten the frontline. I mean, we're going we're going ghost played into LDR. I believe and it's just like
Where's your damage right like rise?
Maybe eventually is gonna do something because it is purely armor being stacked by Gigo
But a fight where your rise is hitting the side on the entire fight is not a fight. You're gonna win anyway
So I do think it's gonna be really really really tough for them and they need to keep trying to go for these sideline plays
Like the dive on the sign was good
If you can get a bunch of kills through that sort of a style of play then that could be a way in
But Furia just have to keep doing what they're doing to show for every objective and just make it tough for
Sentinels frontliners to ever actually get on to IU and you're gonna be good
Lord Dominic guards is finished for Rahels the LDR has come in
But I think at this point the only win condition for Sentals is impact having pop-off plays like is a hen
Maybe we get I can we say 300 years is a hen to 300 years champion
I don't feel this is 200 years
I feel like the hen has so much power in his kid that we've seen him just take over games that feel unwindable regardless
So maybe that is the win condition as actually that's a Baron start-up on spawn from Furio
We see multiple members of Sentals down here. I think they're gonna get it too. Yeah
Fennel does any idea they're not even now that now there's some things. I think maybe now they're a little bit nervous, but
They drops the far side alteration. They'll see it's that half health. They have the tempered fate
They'll throw it in there to delay teleport in from impact on the plank and Rahel will walk straight into ego
Knocked out with the arrow cleansed instantly trying to get back
But the impale now on the who he means that it's a numbers advantage for fury a Jojo flash to the deadly flourish to survive it
Baron is delayed, but Furia do you get a teleport and a kill for it? Yep, they get the teleport, they get the kill
Again just to hit whatever. Legit doesn't matter who they're hitting. They hit anyone. Any CC, any Sentinels member, impale them, kill them
There's really no recourse to that. Unless you can find like a temperate on the impaled player to delay
But now they don't even feel like they can enter and they're gonna be too late
The Baron I think is just gonna be gone before they can do anything about it. There's no grand start-up.
Pact is walking in, Darkwing is too far behind, they will just watch as it falls.
Fioria, pick up the big purple worm, and now they're gonna try and get out of here.
Kigo pulled back in, Humbox trying to lock him down, but you can see how tanky this Sion is.
Her deliverance followed from him back, he strives his absolute hardest to get the kill, they got it!
Rahel with the curtain call, will get one!
Zombie form Sion in the fight, can trade one back, but his head has the passive, has the revive,
And now it's up to Toads!
He got out of the carry, the Akali unleashed,
but now CC, now knocked out, gets the double kill,
but will go down.
Sendinels get a shot down to Darkwing's
and do win the extended fight.
That was actually really big for Sendinels.
They just full send it.
They realized how bad of a position they're in.
You just need to keep trying to fight.
And this time, Darkwing's actually got into the back line
and put so much pressure onto IU and JoJo,
which is really well done.
And then this knockup in that final moment,
It looked like Twit's got knocked up either out of his R2 or his E.
The knocker from his hand canceled that and that actually helped to keep him alive.
So they already secured this.
We knew this was going to be gone and then Gigo gets a little bit too confident.
The rest of the team is all walking the other way and it's warded.
You can see in the top left of your screen.
So they're saying, well, we're just going to keep hitting you and they're not going to stop chasing you
because they know the game is just going to get worse and worse and worse.
So they full send it.
In fact, Kaz has revived ready.
Tatu does survive before a while.
It's a great encore.
But then look at who he on the side and look at Darkwing.
Darkwing gets into that backline, is laning it.
A lot of damage down.
And then Trac talks to you as he gets knocked up right there.
Impact out of the air, gets knocked up.
The Blascombe gets taken away, so they knock him down as well.
And that is a lot of gold back there for Sentinels.
They would love to grab this dragon,
but it doesn't look like it's going to be possible.
Because Darkwing's his top side, and so is Hanbok.
So that's going to be furious.
It's a 1,000 gold lead.
It's a negative Baron gold lead so far.
It's a bearing deficit right there of about 1800,
but I don't think it's going to matter too much for you.
They get back to the map.
They take this dragon.
That's their second of the game.
And they still have bearing buff on Tatu.
He was the one that lived.
So they still could theoretically
look for pushing in some waves if they want to use this card.
They're not answering top.
So I think three is actually not really
having their lane assignments.
Oh, very set up well right now.
So Darkwing's pushes that in, gets a plate,
and Darkwing's is looking to try to build towards the actualizer
next.
Once you get that, his roll is just
over to 10 back so he's over 15 and impact needs to run.
So far losing the 1v1 will Crim deliverance away as the arrow barely misses its mark.
Impact will be safe for now. Yep, gonna stay alive. You just have to play, you are weak-sided right
there and you gotta play really really safe. They're gonna go for a dive. Oh I like that from
Huey, stopping the turret, duckling should walk forward, ego ultimate, body blocked by Huey.
That Bard just bought so much time for Sentinels to find their pick onto the tanky top later, and that sign went down.
This is really nicely done. This is the kind of problem solving we were talking about, and we're trying to think about, okay, how could you actually win?
Well, you have Pantheon, you have Bard, you have Ryze, try to play through side, try to keep picking them off, because the 5v5s are going to be really, really tough.
The difficulty with that is always if you were trying to play one of those kind of skirmish-y, spul-bushy-style comps, if your opponents are getting dragons, eventually you are drawn to there and you have to fight, right?
So that is the problem that they are going to be dealing with here
They've got a couple nice picks in the sidelines. They had that bot lane dive obviously on sign
Now they get a top lane kill on a sign and that's the actualizer gold for Darkwing's because he got some play gold
He actually got you know a good injection there and actualizer
Anything is possible. You know do I still favor furious comp? Yes heavily
But when you pop that actualizer and you get into the back line and you get some good damage down
You can sometimes just win a fight straight up right where you were just bouncing
the spell flex across multiple members, you're getting so much damage down and signs that can work. So we'll see
Right now vision is dark in the top jungle dark wings is walking up here to get towards this top
Wave and who he's gonna back him up. I will say that the gold is still even
It's good for sentles that they got some of that back in the favor
It's about a 3k lead for furia before the baron they get the baron
It's a negative play and then they also lose the play immediately afterwards
So I sent those are back in it slightly and a lot of that is on impact
So when you talk about the win condition does the hen does have that lead right now
Is he's once again really gives the sideline in this 1v1
But I still just love curious composition and their chances with it. No, I completely agree
I think Sentinels are doing the best they can though from a tough spot
I mean they really misplayed some some of the early game stuff that got them behind and I think
Their draft was always gonna be a lot more difficult to pilot
Gigo has so much armor, but he has almost no MR.
I think a lot of signs would have built a little bit earlier MR,
which is why we're seeing Ryze do so much damage to him.
You know, he just has that null and that's it.
But obviously, because he is ignoring MR completely,
when Impact is hitting him, it looks like this,
where Impact is just hitting him over and over and over.
He even went Shrybriker to be able to have a bit more chase
down probably under the ash on the Seraphine.
And it's going to be a very long fight
if it were ever Impact killing Gigo.
Yeah, but I mean all those hotbots also do because that's where the black cleaver is you kind of want the stacks to shred some of that
Armor before impacts able to really do any damage to him
I agree the impacts job is gonna instead be folks on the cares because like theoretically
But let's lay let's lay the hypothetical here
You're ignoring sign in the fight you if you ignore scion and you just dive the ash
You I know it's tough with the seraphine like it's not gonna be an easy job
But like you just kill the ash and they kill the Akali like the scion right goes way down because he's not gonna be doing the damage
itself. It's completely true. I mean that is always the case with these style of compositions.
Kali even has very low consistent damage, right? So if you one shot the Ash and even just the
Kali is fine, whatever. If you one shot the Ash of the third of the fight, you do have a really
good chance in those fights because Skarner and Sion and Seraphine have some upfront threat
with their all-teasing with that CC, but it's not long-term. You know, it's going to really
plummet after the fight goes on for a bit. So that is obviously the glass half full.
The glass half empty glass half full kind of guy when I have an orange juice
There's half half half full. Yeah, I'm it's helpful and the last half empty is that yeah
Obviously want to kill IU but there's so much peel. Yeah, so that it's not gonna make it easy as that was a realm war from Darkwing
It's not exactly sure. I think they were nervous about Baron
They were really nervous that they're rushing down Baron so he's trying to rush out of base and
and box that. He does have his Seekers and IE's done for hell.
So some big items coming through, Death Dance done.
You can see Infinity Edge was already finished there for IU.
Toast is on three items and now Tatsu's just going
into support itemization, which is always very strong.
As we have Kigo, I've just started things off
on Impact right now.
Nice interrupt on the Tatsu, he's engaged.
Impact is a huge Crimzeler.
It's on the multiple, does on the back line,
gets on who even he flashes the safety.
As Impact tried his best to get onto IU,
Cannot kill the Ash, goes into the stasis, the resurrecting now.
Exiles impact under the turret, flashes back into Eurya's jungle,
but they can chase him down.
Tread of Return will end on the multiple members, but it is not enough.
Impact tried to get onto IU, but it's easier said than done.
The Seraphim keep in the Ash safe, everybody keep in the Ash safe.
And now Sentinels only have two members left alive.
They only picked up the support.
One current call lands, the second will not.
as they're able to back off there and actually had nobody down on the side of Furia as Jojo didn't even fall.
The Twits just destroyed Darkwing's. Darkwing didn't even use his Asus, so I'm not sure exactly what happened there.
Because it seemed like a pretty good start to the fight. I mean they jumped in on Impact, there was clearly some miscommunication.
They're going to try to just secure this, I think they're worth it.
Yeah, it's just solo laners. There's going to be a 2v2 Kigo, and Twits just jumping onto Hombok.
It is smite secured by the jungler, but Twits will get a kill for the effort as he also
follow-up on the portal from who he has been binding can stun up has a temper
fate as well over the walls for help but they just don't have quite enough ooo
stasis for the binding as in comes Gigo to keep his mid laner safe try and get
them out of their dark wings is here everybody's here the aero land that's
flash out of toots that's helpful from impact will not get the kill onto a
collie Sentinels they tried to find something there they get the dragon but
it is another bear in the furia yeah but the very least did you get the
dragon but of course great stuff from furia I want to see that fight one
time and see exactly what happened to Darkwings, but definitely a miscommunication there because,
so the call here from Hootie is, oh I'll save you with the, with the temper fate, but he's
alting away from it, right? So clearly there's different calls there. Okay, so we, oh yeah,
let's just be in pale. So it's just being pale onto Darkwings. Darkwings basically gets
CC 100-0. I mean, if you get tackled on core, you're gonna get hit by the impale,
everything's gonna kind of chain up there. Obviously there's Crystal there, there's so much
CC and if you can't flash the initial CC you're kind of cooked and that's that's what he would have had to do
I think this fight would have actually been pretty winnable had he not gotten hit by that impale
You know if you could flash the initial CC as dark wings
Then the amount of damage you can put out is actually pretty high and I even got pushed back pretty quickly so
But that's that's just kind of the way it is right. It's
That's that's one of those fights. I want us to take a look at again
because also the start of it really weird positioning as ego can he survive this what do we have to know he does go down
All right for members of Sentals if we get four people hitting the sign at one time we can actually kill him
Yeah, he's dead. That's too bad
This test will end the shuriken flip on the impact by point strike as well
But he gets back to the safety of the rest of his team the arrow now on the dark wings
Beautiful part all from who he to stop the re-engage it from Todd to
This is a timing from Toots.
Yeah, TP from Toots to try and stop the retreat and spot it.
So Sentinels know that he's there and they will not run into the Akali.
He must go home.
Retreat!
Get out of there.
All right.
Well, Sentinels doing a decent job.
Furia clearly in control though and this would move them to match point.
You can see, the Toots is really strong now.
He's gonna be working probably towards a death gap at this point.
already got a lot of AP, I doubt he's building a Benchesville with that large fraud, so next
one should be a death gap.
IU is on 4, fully completed, he's 2,000 gold ahead of Rael, and his champion just naturally
does more consistent damage as well, and there's Twisher members, so that is problematic
for sure, but impact at least is very far ahead, he's up 2k, so if he can have a
really good fight, if he can get a passive stat, get into the backline, there's always
gonna be chances but it just feels like so much is can you not get destroyed by
Impale and Encore and Griff Laro you can't get CC by anything because you get
hit by any of it it's gonna be chained and someone's gonna be dead on Sentinels
and the fight is probably pretty lost so it's all down to the start yeah this is
I feel like we're just playing different games at this point like the
composition from Kyria they're just playing a pretty straightforward game of
checkers it's just like move your pieces forward do your front the back I
mean touch of course is kind of the wild card here on the Akali but he's
comfortable on the pick and he's doing well. I feel like I said everyone else on
his team is playing checkers and he's like I advanced to go and take $400.
What brother what he's talking about there's
those are chess pieces. So some new iteration of chess.
Sentles we know they're playing like punch out right now they're just
getting rocked by Tyson here like it is so hard to win these fights as they
find a pick go on the tuts that could be a good start to it. Goes into the
Shroud use the perfect execution once to try and get out of there, but Sentinels pull him back in
Impact lands the dreaded return as IU now slowed down by a couple shots there hot-bond grants are falling together
The JoJo this is that do the Domino's going to fall
Sentinels get to as IU now all alone on his retreat
Sentinels still have multiple members here
He doesn't have a turn up there so they can desync the death timers if they chase for the kill
There's no objective to take on the map. So yeah
You might as well just get the goal.
He should die.
He should definitely die.
I mean, keep going.
He's got Gigo behind him.
It's going to be a humbug.
It's going to be Darkwing too.
He's a little far behind.
There's a flash from Darkwing over the on-stop of the launch.
Gigo's not able to land that one.
Now who he joins up?
Meanwhile, impact's taking the bottom turret.
Setnals find kill after kill after kill.
And they're going to turn it into a cracked base
in the bot lane.
Just like they drew a fine ever down to them.
Yep.
Never down to them.
That's not a punch out, baby.
They figured out that Nonsoul's boss has been defeated.
They learned the attack pattern.
As soon as they locked in those first three picks,
don't check the tapes.
But I remember myself saying, all it's
going to take is one pick under the volley
and do a chase down on JoJo and mid lane.
And then you catch out IU, who's
going topside with a nice flash.
This is where we test afar our socials,
the farthest ways you can.
Pay attention, take that sound bite
and overlay it onto the drought.
Let me just plug it first down onto the gear.
Like, post down.
Get me out.
But we just, yeah, just the sound bite
from a few moments ago onto that moment and there we go that's it
all right let's get that dragon
I will not unclench though I will say that I'm still scared you're seeing
clenched I'm staying extremely clenched as they help there's one thing I know
about you so when you're clenching I'm clenching all right
sentinels now I don't want to be clenched clenchers I don't want to be
synced up like that for coca-caxers we're coclenchers I thought this was
like a it's gotta be like a synergy natural you know
You can't force it.
Alright, just like energy.
I don't want to talk about forcing clenching right now.
I feel like we're getting back to the prune juice conversation that has happened earlier.
No, buddy. Just chill out.
I know.
Chill out.
We know why the Zeal doesn't drink juice anymore.
Your name is Kandgis, not Kandgis.
Oh, I like that.
Yeah, I like that.
And together we are as good as in the house.
Back on the conversation, parents up for sentels.
As they're starting it up, Furia will spot it out.
Tatu and Tsukuhi and Impact holding the line.
He still has Impact not available anymore. He's gonna have to look to flash over this one if he wants to steal the answer.
Oh my god! Beautiful barn ultimate to stall the steal attempt as Impact gets out of the back line.
That's one down. They kill the Seraphine and Pale lands, Toots can try and get the damage down.
He's sounded by Hombok. He's alone in the shroud. His impact is still alive in his 1v3 on the side.
Grand Starfall to stop the retreat pass, shut down on impact. Finally, a locking slow impact into the wall for Hell trying to get some damage down.
Darkwing's is low. Scary to walk up. Fury of Flash away. Hombok Flash follows. They fancy themselves to kill onto the tank, and this time they'll get it.
The Black Cleaver shreds the armor. Rahel gets the final kill. Zendol's finding the play.
play. Okay, let's go. And we got the Baron. So that's big.
Yeah, really big.
E-Shall's impact, that has a really good interaction with the Pantheon stun.
It pulls Pantheon out of the air of his stun, so you actually can't interrupt it there.
Oh, interesting. Unless you're coming from a different angle or something.
But, you know, I saw that mid-flight, Humbach goes forward, goes to the stun,
I'm like, great, he's going to interrupt the E-Shall's impact,
but he actually pulls him out of his stun and was able to keep going.
Otherwise, we could have got Tattoo too. So, well played.
I mean that is that is impact making a huge difference. He could survive for ever
Like our our frontline killing is not good, but impact puts so much pressure on the back line
He takes down Jojo. Yeah, he doesn't kill off IU
but he puts so much pressure on IU and he has the the revive stacked up and
Honestly just a really really good job by impact
he is acting as the frontline and now Darkwing's is six items and
And Jin, in the super late game, actually starts to hurt because he gets so much AD with the passive, so
they're getting to a point where...
They're going to win this game.
Impact's got to be my front-runner for the player of the game so far.
He has kept them in this as the Zahen cuts at the flank angle, but Rahel does spot it out.
Hits the blast cone to not touch back away, so here is Midlaner will back off of the attempt.
Impact meanwhile still on the top position.
coming in the air a land but it's buffer by the group 11 separate they will buy more space for signals touch complete the
telephone and dark things have to be careful
oh my god
everybody at touch gets onto the back line and just slaughters the health bars of
sentinels run dark wings get out of there buddy
there was a moment of hope but that's been shut down just like humbok
i mean we get still in the game but like dark wings need to not die we need to be
to be careful here yeah this is a danger why are you still there
Still off as Tuts has the Flash available, has the Zonius available.
Darkwing's has to be very careful as he will back off.
Oh boy.
That was a bit rough. Impact is too far up.
Impact is just way too far up.
The tempered fate was really, really good for Moohi.
Right as Hapulenthe impaled, he tempered fate's him,
so it's going to delay a lot of that time,
but the game might just be over.
I think it is, unfortunately.
Long death timers, specifically Hoplock 25 seconds.
It's going to be 15 for Rahel, 15 for Impact.
So it could be a 4v5 a base defense fury up still push into the Baron and powered minions
Maybe that's the saving grace here, and it just expired spooks. I thought they were gonna force it
I feel like they could have made me force it still but impact and reheller up soon
And I was kind of worried that they were just gonna get a kill on to onto dark wings
And then the game would be ended, but sentinels hold on so I was getting two spooks for nothing
And now it's now it's down to soul right so now it's still sale, you know don't get too comfortable
Don't tell me you did bunch
Not to is the focus right now decimating from Gigo right on the two members as it also buffers the temperate with unsolved one slot
But ultimate use from the scion as dragon spawning in 40 seconds
Should have it back up by the next fight, but Sentos for right now can get the vision control around the area
Oh, wait these part of them, but okay the recall finish damn that would have been huge
Alright, so we're still alive, but yeah some bad things happen for sure
We stacked up before the encore and JoJo completely owned us
I mean when you see Tuts is TPing in and you see the encore hit for hell and then the double Rue comes through
You know, I've seen Jhin is one shot for sure. So that is tough, but it is still
Sentinels in with a chance they played it out way better than I thought they could I just feel like this compass is hard to
We'll see if they can make it work.
Now, super minions in the mid lane sentinels are fighting for control over the river.
Damage on the Gigo.
As Furia are stacking up for their approach at Dragon's Soul, this would be Infernal Soul
for sentinels.
Impact has a flank angle right now.
Sentinels need to be careful about grouping up for the Encore as the arrow will go
out and Lance here onto Hooyi.
Folks onto the bar, but instead they turn out that Darklings do too far forward
for the rest of sentinels.
Hooyi mid-time and it's on the face to try and save his mid laner.
Darkwings goes down but he might be trading for tuts and they can get the equality. It could be more a flash or blow up
And probably takes down Uiii. Furia will not lose their mid laner and they'll kill Impact out of the Zahen Passive
Sentinels do not win the dragon soul fight
Crucially needed for them with two members left alive. Furia will say they don't have the numbers
We're just gonna go straight into the mid lane. Humbug will try and Grand Star fall to clear the wave
But there's just no shot. Furia have done it
going up to zero versus sentinels in this best of five just keep the wave safe
stop the backs walk it in and fury a sale they came to play some legal engines
today Stevie will go up to win the upper bracket brutal brutal oh god we're gonna
have to go to the APC I want to see this last fight yeah go take a look at
that as a while you're doing that I'm just gonna say how impressive from
Fiora to not panic to keep focus they never stopped fighting like even though
Sentos were finding a couple of ways they found that one pick on a Gigo that then turned into a kind of cascading team fight
Win for them later on and then who you having a couple of really good tempered fates try and follow up later on like
Fiora never gave up and they were able to find these plays. How's the replay looking as though do we have it?
It crashed, it crashed, oh that's unfortunate. We might not have the replay for this game
I don't think we'll have it unfortunately unless I can get into it through like Manchester or something. No
I don't know. All right. Well, that's unfortunate bringing up on YouTube. Maybe we can take a look. See if you can do that. Because there's a lot of like really clutch moments from that game that felt like Sentinels could have found the way to find the win.
But again, fury at the end there. I think Sentinels it had to be like desperation engages back to back to back basically their team composition was so tough to actually execute in those moments.
I feel like in a way, they were lucky to get to the point that they were at, but they gave me hope, man.
I actually thought that they could do it at the end.
Yeah, I mean, it is really, really hard.
Okay, I don't know if we can do this way, but I have it on YouTube, so maybe we can actually just try it this way.
It's obviously a little bit jank, but you can't look at anything other than what we actually saw on broadcast already,
but I do want to see this one more time.
So if we can bring up the computer, if we're okay doing that, then maybe we can just see straight onto YouTube.
So I'm just going to be pulling it back up from YouTube.
Hey, there we are.
So, I wanted to see what kind of happened with Darkwings in this fight.
I want to watch this fight, and then I want to watch the previous one.
Because Darkwings died without flashing.
Again, the same thing happened at the end of the last game.
The execution has to be so good, obviously, from Sentinels in these kind of late game fights.
So, Gigo's trying to take space. They're going for the Grislyero.
Darkwings is just kind of in a very risky position, again, by himself.
Clearly, it doesn't feel like he wants to play front to back.
So he wants to play on this side spot, but he's a little bit too far forward, right?
Toots has been spotted down here. So Sentinels basically you have kind of two options, right?
Either you back off and you try to play towards marking the flank or you push forward and you try to actually get like a short 5v4 fight-fight
And you risk getting flanked by Toots. So as the chrysalair comes through,
we see a charm landing here and again Darklings is just getting like fully cc'd.
the time this timing on the temper fade sucks, but I'm not sure that it really would have made that much of difference because
So does now come over the wall
He's zoning out humbuck and rehal like look at where rehal is you basically can't join this fight at all
Yeah, and dark wings is a lot of your damage at this point
He is six items he gets focused down and to me it just came down to him positioning a little bit too far forward
I mean you're not even getting hit by the crystal arrow
You're just getting hit by by the root and he gets me kills out of it
But then it's the hit by the by the charm right after so got tagged by the encore from Jojo
You know well played by him, but at this level you gotta flash that buddy
Yep, you gotta flash that every single time like this is this is him on vision hitting you with hitting with the encore after you
Just got Mikael's out of the other CC that you didn't flash right? It's just there's there's no
Crystal arrow so if he actually flashes that there's no real CC for him, right besides maybe like a point blank point blank sign
and alter something to set that up but I feel like that is way more playable. So that one was pretty
tough and then I'm gonna try to go back and we'll see if I can find this top lane play. Where was
the top lane play? Was it before this? Yeah I think it was before yeah because this was where
Fiora was able to. So this is I think maybe a replay of it. But this is just impact it's like
again you know just overextended a bit. We know generally where they are. They have been
bouncing between these two waves. They're trying to play this baron setup right? So you're
trying to have this synced up where impact is pushing forward and then as Fiora comes and
that answers this mid wave here.
You know, they are getting pressure on the top side
and then you have supers coming in through bot, right?
So you're kind of trying to play through these three ways
and bounce back and forth.
But in fact, just stepping too far forward in this case,
you know they have the inside track.
TP's coming in here.
And so Sentinels are all trying to pile in
to be able to bail them out.
But if you're gonna use the Grim Deliverance,
you know, to retreat,
then that is your strongest team fighting tool
on your strongest member that's already gone.
So already you should be thinking about
just engaging this fight.
Tatu though, so much credit to him.
He buffers the impale so it lands right as impact comes out of this.
So watch this again, this is really well timed.
Impact is trying to immune the CC, but look at this, impale, instantly as he lands.
So, so well played there by Tatu, lands that, the temperate fade is also really, really good on the side.
But then look at, look at Jojo right here.
He's already lining this up.
You need to be thinking about the AOE CC.
You need to be thinking about the encore that's coming through.
This is both of your carries lined up with the guy who can't do anything, who's already CC'd.
They they get hit by the charm and then the root comes through from Jojo. He's stunned up now
He's knocked up to its arrives where hell is that as soon as I saw that on for a hit
You already know that fight is over. So these are things and you can see that's my reaction right there. That's how I felt
You know that fight is lost. It's just execution in in the late games
I mean this this comp I think is way harder to play than what fury drafted out last time
I think their comp in game one was easier to play but at the end of the day
Fury has just played better in all of the most important fights in all the biggest moments. So rightfully, so they are at match point
We've had two really close games, but
Close does not count. Yeah, I'll say though
They gave us hope the comp was so hard to play for the beginning. We had a lot of gripes with it going into it
I think at this point
Maybe we can tell socials to not go ahead and put your audio
over the draft because it was what you said in draft like they just can't kill the front line
They can't kill IU even if impacts able to get on the back line
They were only like one instance where impact was able to pull off that big fight because of there's just the draft differential
We saw there fear is countless so much easier to execute and they executed it incredibly well taught to with player of the game
Very well played from him 5 1 and 17 and the the scarner
You know counter plays this kind of engages following up and like dragging into the encore
Like there's so many cool moments that thought he was able to pull off in that game, too
Yeah, I mean they're just playing a we cc in almost all their comps and they're playing it super well
You think back to the previous game
They had you know cyclone and Nami wave and like all of these tools
So they're playing it great
And we'll have to see if sentinels can clean it up in late game to even make this a series
Otherwise, they're about to be swept out in the lower bracket
Yeah, you're is looking like the best team in the America's cup one loss from sentinels
and they're in the lower bracket.
Fioria would then go to the finals.
Let's see if we get a sweep or if Sentinels
can give us a series.
We're going to throw it to short break.
I'll be back after this.
And welcome back everybody for game 3 of fury versus sentinels at America's Cup where fury
are 2 and 0 and undefeated against the LCS so far.
I don't like that.
You don't like that?
No.
Well what if, you know, you got to build off the, it's like Rocky, you got to build
off the villain from the LCS bias side. Of course, you got to build up the guy that you
got to beat in the finals. So he's undefeated on the way to the finals.
I wanted to build up the finals.
No.
True.
We've got to go over sweet.
Hey, it's possible. Well, how likely though, with how Sentinels are playing right now?
Because looking at us, God shaking.
Yeah. I think Sentinels are, they're playing a decent series as far as, you know,
when you're looking at the majority of the play, I think they're playing pretty
well in a lot of different circumstances. I think they did a good job of playing the
sidelines and you know putting on pressure with I think a tough to play comp, but if you're
gonna play a comp like that you have to execute at a really really high level. And in the team
fights they have failed to do that. You know a couple games in a row in those late game moments.
It is Furia who are, you can call it easier comp, you can call it whatever, but it's like
who cares if they win they win right? And they are just out playing us in those
those late-game fights, you know, and they're just drafting a ton of AOE CC, so if Sentinels
mispositions, if you don't react appropriately, if you don't flash those CCs, you're just dead,
it's just gonna get layered up. In game one it was Wukong ult, Ornn ult, Nami ult, game two,
it's the Skarner ult, it's the- Seraphine ult, it's the Ash arrow, it's the Seraphine root,
they're drafting tons of AOE CC, so Sentinels have got to react appropriately and they have it.
Darkwing's both games, I mean it's definitely not just on him, but both games, you've got
You got the six items on super powerful late game carries and you die without flashing your
CC.
And that is, that's just facts.
So gotta step it up here if they want to have a chance.
Talking about AoE CC, if you are still doubling down on that with the Niko as their first
lock in, their red side against, this is three games in a row and now they get first pick.
And Niko kind of fits that bill too, it's something they can either find that initial
engage or follow up and if you find multiple ways to CC these AOE, you know, engages.
They're not first picking Sejuani and Sejuani up.
Oh, they are.
We are first picking Sejuani.
Well, Saitachi wants to play with Sejuani.
Oh, what about this though?
Yone!
We're talking about Darkwing's champ pool and really highlighting the fact that it's
all focused on the control mages.
We don't see a lot of the melee champions.
blind picking a melee champion technically flexible I suppose like you
could move this around but typically like gamepins not playing yone they don't
think he had a most fearless player in LCS you don't feel like either of these
guys are yone guys which is very surprising I mean maybe maybe they're
they've been grinding on it I don't know I mean it's it's hasn't been played at
all by Darklings I'm curious all time how much he's actually played it so I'm
gonna check I just feel like Trundle is such a commonly obvious answer that
gives them a big advantage in the jungle. Tatsu has been doing a really good job already,
and I think blinding the Yone is quite risky, but instead they're going to go for Kaisa and Niko.
So, Trundle is now banable obviously. You could ban him in the second phase, which would help some
protection bans here. You're also going to be able to potentially throw some protection bans
for the Yone, and so it's double melee soul laners plus Zed-Wani. So they're basically
saying we're playing topside. Gwen has been getting banned out in the second phase quite often,
So that is, you know, something that's going on.
Let's see, Yone, he's got three games all time in his career on Yone.
He's one and two.
So I mean, Dark Rings has a wide champion.
Well, that was one of the biggest things about him as a tier two mid laner company.
And there was none of them are this style.
Yeah, exactly.
It's control majors that he primarily plays.
I mean, look through.
There's there's to find the first actual like melee, you know, aggressive champion.
You have to go down to a colleague that he has.
Silas, I guess.
I feel like Silas is kind of different to me than...
Sure.
Yo-Nate to me is more in like the Akali bucket, the really kind of like hyper-aggressive stuff.
You can make the argument for Silas, but even if you want to make the Silas argument that that's the same style of champion that is, you know...
He's got like 10 champions at least.
That's his 12th most played or whatever, right?
Yeah.
Like he just doesn't play those champs, so all his most played are control mages.
So it's surprising, but in a way, a little exciting, because it is Darkwings' first time traveling for an international tournament.
I know it's America's Cup leading into first stand.
There's, you know, what's on the line here is a lot of pressure,
of course, because you want to be at CBLO,
but also you want to earn your region the ability
for extra practice time ahead of MSI or during MSI
with the boot camps that will be earned
by the winner of America's Cup.
So I think it's kind of cool in a way
that Darkwing's is willing to pull out
such a deep champion in his pool.
And game three, it's not like he's pressured
to do this right now.
This is clearly something that he's opting into.
Yeah, I know that they are absolutely opting into it.
there's tons of control mages still up and available, but I do think it is scary when
there's a lot of pressure on the line here and you're not playing champion you're very comfortable on
right so we'll see I mean maybe he has a totally different perspective and he's like I play this
all the time and so look you I'm completely accountable but I don't think he has been executing
at a level that is you know high enough in the team fights when you think about these licking
team fights and those aren't champions he's played a bajillion times in bro and so I am worried
going into a situation where it's do or die to reverse sweep or go to lower bracket here and
You're doing it on a champion that you have you know a lot less games on that being said said one
He obviously really strong pairing here with the double melee soul laners
They grabbed the rail so it could be like an MF or something over the top if you want
You know there's a big like dive comp time seen so far like is now they have the big high impact ultimate
It's going to do damage and it's twisted fate as the answer for the Yone.
Yeah, so TF is going to bring some much needed point and click CC against a couple of these
champs.
It's also going to allow you to play to the side lanes.
So they're seeing, all right, Sentinels are drafting this sort of topside.
They want to play towards side lanes.
They want to be able to look towards split push and creating advantages there.
Well now Mbessa has some backup, right?
Now Mbessa has the backup of the TF and TF is also one of these champs where very
very auto attack focused, you're going to be just harassing down this Yone.
Every time the Yone is looking to go solo and bound, you're just me trying to throw in the
yellow card, sun him up, push him back, and we'll see how it's going to work out here.
But I will say you are vulnerable to all-ins for sure on the TF, and Zaya is just kind
of about avoiding the dive on the other side.
Yeah.
Both sides can just isolate one person and send everything onto it, whether it's
public execution, plus the Kaisa,
or whether it's like the Fate Sealed plus the Sichuanni,
like you have all these chain CCs and damage you can do.
Plus the MagiStorm, plus everything, everything.
This is one of those games where,
when they both play hard and gauge,
now they just feel like whoever gets ahead,
it's a giga stomp.
Yeah, so you can snowball very fast,
which I would say the games have been pretty close
throughout the early and middle game.
It's just like these late game team fight setups
that Sentals are bossing the execution on.
And that was not the expectation I had coming into this.
If you had said that same thing was happening, but reverse the name plates, I'm like, oh yeah, that's what we've seen from Furia, or at least from Red.
And what kind of I expect from CBLOL teams is they can compete mechanically, they can compete in lane, but then in the late game, there will be that one mistake.
But no, it's Sentinels that are making that one mistake. And in this type of comp, that one mistake can just mean that the game's over.
Absolutely can. If you get behind, these comps don't really play in other directions, right?
You kind of just go in you full send everything and kind of smash your head against each other
So this is like that meme I sent you how bald men settle their disputes is way up the headbutt
These are these are two bald men cops. That's what this is right now couple of
Lining up on other sides of the stage. They're gonna charge charge trade in
We got to what was the name of that dinosaur with the big cranium. It's got a fun name
I don't remember craniosaurus. I'm just gonna call that two craniosaurus
is smacking that's a lame name you think that's a little I think that's kind of cool no no t-rex
shellhead or velociraptor check velociraptor is an s plus t-rex goes hard yeah and also t-rex I
think it doesn't sound as cool as tyranosaurus rex that's even cooler yeah but he's got a cool
nickname because he's a cool guy he is he rex if you really casual with them yeah yeah yeah more
like a first-name basis kind of thing yeah yeah that's if you invited you over for lunch for
for a month's dinner.
But never call him Big T. He doesn't like that.
Dark wings.
He walks very far forward to get a warrant on the Raptors
and will have to flash immediately.
Gold card used.
He does survive.
Zail hates it here.
Dark wings hands the lady state.
They still like, I mean, well, I guess he can, but.
I don't think he's going to.
That's really tough.
That was horrible.
The Brazilian teams have done this actually quite a bit.
A lot of level in cheese where,
I know the perspective of many pros
is that level in cheese is gone.
Like you can't do it.
You risk too much.
But if you make a really fast play like that,
they just three-man walkthrough mid,
and Tatu steals us away.
And now he should have an invade.
He's level two.
He has to leave his jungle.
Humbug is probably going to have to flash here, too.
I mean, Tatu's just chasing him all the way out.
He will save the summoner's spell
and go towards the top camps, but that
is flash out of mid lane.
That is Tatu taking away the Raptors.
Humbug's wrapping around.
He can't do anything.
He has smite.
I think he's just going to try and smite their way
from Tatu.
But if you get spotted, you're just going to die.
And you have no vision.
He doesn't have his ward.
He's gonna have to just walk into it. He has who he coming up from behind. So we got the double riders
Okay, he's gonna get it metal horse plus the big pig and
There we go. Honbok will smite the objective that that's actually pretty big because I would have been disastrous
If you did not get who he brought me up there. Thank you. He honored
Honor right now. Yeah, because that that is pretty cooked when that happens to your mid laner and then your jungler is
Blasted level one as well, but we're up 28 golden top lane. So we're fine
impact like everyone have gone down there. Yeah. I'm wondering the trades on Gigo. Yeah, but no, actually, back to the earlier point, I really like that the Brazilian teams have been mixing in these level one Jesus. They're showcasing that, hey, you're not going to always be able to punish it. We saw that like long from down to thought. We've seen a couple of these plays through mid. If you just do an instant drive by and they're disrespecting, I mean, Darkwing's is super far up. And oh, this is the cannon too. I don't think you missed that range. Maybe the goal is just to stop popping it up. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I
Okay, I think it's settings. I think the settings just the goal wasn't popping up because yeah
Definitely look like you got those second minutes for sure, but it didn't pop up the gold over said yeah either way
He's getting heavily chunked out. This is a way to vanish currently for toots and
Darkwings has not been able to get that back off yet
And yeah, the early invades are super creative and it shows that they're doing their homework like theory
I haven't watched you. Okay. What is the mid lane plan?
It's very common for the mid laner to walk up and just drop that ward there to try and spot where the jungler is
Yeah, they didn't get punished at all in the bottom side. They're able to get back down there
I use also up in CS right now is humbug is on the top scuttle will smite it and get away
Yep, so he is my talk to had no smite so a humbug is recovered really well
He's actually even ahead in the pacing right now and credit to Darkwing's he lost what two-thirds of his health at level one and
Is basically just down the six CS so not the end of the world here
Of course not the star he wanted but thought to on the reinvade there for the Raptors
Perfect timing. Yeah, that was on spawn. He walks up, drops a ward, creps the Q, gets the darkened blade as they spawn in.
So, Tattoo is ready for it. And now Hombox on the top half of the map here looking potentially like Gigo.
In fact, he's trying to get this wave in. Gigo gets a good trade back as Hombox is awaiting in the wings.
You can take it this way, but it's tough. Yeah.
Yeah, he knows he's not spotted yet, but this is a risky dive.
It's a very risky. Flash is available. Yeah, Gigo should be just fine.
Flashes away and Sentos will still continue to commit for they get the Szechwani stun
First blood to impact traded on Hombon
Yeah, that's super worth actually because you crash the wave you get first blood you get a plate if impact didn't kill this whole wave
So that that is really beneficial. Honestly a pretty spooky dive. I
Don't think you go used to biscuit. Oh, yeah, I unless another biscuit just pop it in
But I'm kind of actually kind of curious about that
I don't know if it would have made the difference
but that came down to the final auto or two
Sometimes miski makes a difference even if you die if it makes the difference between first blood or not first blood is actually a lot of gold
It is a lot. Yeah 417 in favor of impact. Yeah, so that's actually a pretty big deal
And gigo was getting kind of smacked in the 1v1 prior to that
So that is the bigger issue is that not only did he die and uh, his opponent gets the kill
But he's already down cs and then he's the waves pushing away from you
When it gets crashing your tower like that. So nice shot by humbok and an impact
Whether or not the Biscuit saved him, didn't look like he used it, so...
Well, now Impact has the Haunting guys on the back here.
They've both gone for early backs and then TP to lane.
Impact will now make it back in and the wave's pushing into him, so it's a really good position for Impact.
Got the Gold League, got the Item Lead, and also Waves gonna be in a comfortable spot.
Yep, because Eatrox is up here now, so we'll be spotted when he goes into the river, so we're gonna see this one more time.
I guess we can't really see if he... I mean, he has a potion running? I don't know if he fought the Biscuit or not.
Not really, they'll see, unless we can do it in the Dory, to be honest.
He might have gotten the other biscuit afterwards might have been a second biscuit. I'm not actually sure
We can check that in the replay client. So
Thoughts didn't end up coming up impact takes a fair bit of damage there
But homebuck is behind him and impact is six. So there is a potential to try to look for this
We'll see if they want to go the pack is still channeling and now it is cancelled
We'll need to work from impact to slow down Gigo
He's trying to jump away flash for it from impact. No, he's just dashing instead still has a summoner spell on the last
take of the ult will not go through, Gigo backing off.
Impact missed too many of the needlework, it's there.
I think he only hit one out of three shots, and they wanted to try to force that.
They did have level six, and I think they win that 2v2, but Gigo has the cover of Tatoo there.
If Tatoo had finished his recall, maybe he could get some sort of a chase down kill,
but either way, Impact doing really well on that topside for now.
The gold hasn't even out quite a bit though, it was a 400 in his favor until that was pushed in.
Mid lane, slightly in the favor of Twits and Bot lane, kind of as you expect in the favor of Furia
They do have the Niko into the rail. You should just be winning these two v2s early on
Yeah
And that is gonna be pretty good for them.
I gotta say though, Sentinels, that that was a moment where they could have gone for a play topside
They found an avenue, but we also thought Tuts leave the lane. TF can always just ult to wherever that side lane plays happening
So we need to keep that in mind as Sentinels look for side lane plays going forward
Meanwhile, Tattoo starts up the dragon. It is spotted on vision. Sentinels know that this is happening.
Honbok will use the smite early here on the red buff and who he's walking forward.
Honbok over the wall has the ult for the fan, will throw out the glacial prism. The dragon is secure, but Darkwing's donated a kill there.
And Sentinels pick up one.
Yep, gonna be able to get that kill, but grab the Scuttle as well.
So not bad, but good smite here from Tattoo.
It feels like he's winning out on the smites every single time, pretty much throughout the series.
series. He's been doing a really good job at securing these objectives as it was a bit of a flip,
but Tatu gets it and that would have been really rough for Furia. It did end up going their way too.
I gotta say, just such credit to Hanbok for coming back from the early Raptors. He calls up
Buki or who he calls himself up either way. Hanbok's able to at least get the red buff and
get back into the game. He had a slight lead before, now he loses the dragon, but he got
Level 6 person is able to set the team up for some kills gold donated on to dark wings now
Who's also had a great, you know early game here coming back from that early flashblown? Yep
Yeah, I mean the early flashblown really suck
Oh TF coming just use gold card landed and it's up the public execution to knock impact down
Puts with a kill credit
So he used the hell of mist after got on the stunting not actually not have it there because if he uses the hello miss
Friar either it just came up after he got gold guarded or he is rolling. Yeah, I really want to see that again
Because if you howl miss that then you can't the public execution
So I assume that fury only went for it because they have the timing on that
That dark wings sees Tatu in the grub pit Tatu will smite one away
That's too credit to fury as who he is roamed up with the flash Q and Tatu is out of their dark wings
with another kill. Yeah, it's hot to just flash into the wall there too and wasted his ult. So that is a bit tough
I didn't know where he was trying to flash
I think he was maybe trying to do a tricky play where he like flashes down on the red pit and they think he flashed up or something
Yeah, but he kind of just flashed into the wall. Yeah look completely wasted
So that is good for sentinels. They do
Get two of those grubs, but you don't want to let this unit get too accelerated that can be problematic for them for sure
because they're not that tanky.
Tuts and JoJo are walking up here.
They got tattooed back on the red buff,
so Hombok, when they look for the smite steal,
it is taught to secure in the objective.
Hombok, pretty low as you will walk away.
Yep, so Tuts does come and they get that red buff,
but at the very least, Darklings is pushing in mid.
Gonna go PD Rush, which is pretty atypical,
so he's gonna go for the Phantom Dancer here straight up.
Definitely gonna have very high damage,
and JoJo coming out.
Extra little minion there.
Some bonus gold there for Mr. Impact to farm up.
What's the minion doing?
Count the minions.
I mean, Impact's not even in lane, so does JoJo stay for the long gone?
No, he backed off.
Okay.
Yeah, so Impact, Impact's still up 200 gold.
He is up a good amount of farm, so that is nice for him, but of course, Gigo, in a
better spot than he was earlier, so we're going to see this again.
Yeah, so this is, I mean, surely he had the Hell in this.
I just feel like there's got to be no way, but he pops it, it splits like he's
out of it, so that's why I was kind of confused about it.
dodged the gold card that would have been a higher impact use of the ability. I mean if he had it right?
I have to assume that he didn't have it. I just can't believe that you wouldn't be able to react to that
Because even if he's on top of your head and you get the gold card down
The public issues in K-hum so then nothing happens, right?
Which is one of the reasons that Gwen is really annoying. She means like Gwen and sometimes Jax and stuff as well are really annoying for TF
Because it's very difficult to actually get in and get the gold card down
So they can kind of absorb that pretty well and then on the other side obviously Xi has cleanse as well as
the feather storm to avoid that so they have some pretty good tools to actually
dodge out on the gold card which makes Tutsi's job harder but getting that kill
first time he goes up it's gonna feel really nice. Yeah because that was the
first time that we have seen the TF ultimate use and we had highlighted the
fact that that could come up in these side lane plays. Darkwing is able to
get a wave shoved in for that but he's still slightly for himself to get a
kill for that is who he now in the river caught out by JoJo and Tatu.
Pop Blossom committed his public excusable land on the Dark Wings, tries to ult back
to safety, gold card will land and he's dead before any backup can arrive.
Double kill over to Tatu, Furia fine too.
Yeah, who he dying is like more okay.
I mean he spent his flash earlier to get the kill on Tatu, but after who he dies there
Darkwing's needs to be leading a lot faster, right?
There's, you know that they are around.
I mean, I guess you have a flash and ult
so you think you can get out
and the public execution from Fog of War is tough to dodge,
but still, that's not what you want.
Nope, that is not.
Impact doesn't even get anything down
to the top lane for that here.
Kigo just throwing it right back up.
Needlework used, Impact's pushing Kigo off for now,
but he even takes a turret shot,
so it's not even like the health part trade works.
No, it's not even a good trade and now he's getting altered on again rinse and repeat and yet again
The hall is not available so touch gold card post ego and another identical
Play
Just such an over chase from impact. You're what are you even using you to work for it?
You're not even getting anything you're just chasing him
down down the lane there without
Care in the world before yes, and he's in he's now behind
He's now down 500 600 gold when you had this early gank that's died that put you in such a good spot
And you have all the tools to tank these ganks
But they are failing to do so and now they're down to K
I mean dark wings was gifted a couple kills in these fights. He throws that away loses flash alti
In fact, he's gifted a kill by homebock. He loses
You know his life twice now to these TF vaults
So now you're down to K and now you're looking like you were in a horrible spot here
And you would highlight it going into the game with both of these compositions.
It can snowball very quickly because the engage options on both sides.
Geego 2-1 and 2 now on the Impessa.
If he's able to land public execution on anybody, as we saw Midland on Darkwing,
he's like, he's going to have the damage here to kill it without Eclipse finishes.
Another one if you want a top side impact.
So Snip not going to land that.
Time Geego gets back to safety.
But the moment that these engages, the team fights are coming through.
If you have that goal lead, if you're the team that's ahead,
You're just going to be favored in those moments.
Yeah, you really are.
We'll see.
I mean, definitely going to be a tough spot,
but Sentinels not out of it by any means just yet.
I mean, there's a lot of CC on both sides
as they are hunting for impact.
But you should just be able to back off.
Just get the slash to just jump over the wall
if he needs to and doesn't need to.
Now IU jumping in on top of her health.
Featherstorm used.
Bladecaller being held for right now.
Maybe she's on the wave earlier.
Flash from IU to dodge it.
And it's a one for one kill!
Both ADCaries trying to outperform each other, and they just trade them.
Yep, Rahel used his blade collar on the wave when he was trying to clear that out,
and then he gets tagged by the Void Seeker, so IU takes that flight.
And it is a one for one at the end of the day, so both summoners used by IU,
so maybe slightly in the favor of Rahel.
But Impact here has Hanbaka around, and Miki-Go just has so much mobility,
In fact isn't really winning out on these trades and now they're gonna try to push in and see if they can set up with that
They'll public execution and we have the needlework, so Hombok over the wall
They try to do it before the wave even gets there. I didn't close. But Gigo gets up. He's just fine. Yep
And that is tough now talk to
We're seeing to see if he can find a counter play somewhere else
But that's moving up here won't be able to stop the recalls
Not a big cost to that play but still not able to really get anything from it
I mean, Hombok nailed the ulti over the wall, but they weren't really in a position to immediately damage him, and
and best of W, he just absorbed so much damage. It is insane. So, if you don't kill this champion, it's easy. It is tough.
A little impact goes into Haldnist, and the sun still lands. He's got a TP coming in from Darkwing to keep him safe.
And that means Yone's now on the top side, so they stopped the dive, but now they have nobody to catch his bottom wave.
Hombok is there. Maybe he will look for it.
Yeah, Humbuck can go down towards there. Impact can TP in, so they're gonna try to go for a wrap round, but he's spotted.
Gigo has a public execution this time around, he'll just immediately back off, and Humbuck sees that, yep, there is a control ward in fact here.
He'll clear that out, but Gigo is in no danger.
Oh, as I say that, Humbuck, okay, he got the Heart Seal stack. First Heart Seal stack.
We're on the board. Yeah. That's a heavily won play for Sentinels.
Hey, out there, Heart Seal, I'm gonna cast myself. The plus one Heart Seal.
The dopamine you get from the bonk, it's not quite as much damage as the olden days, but
so feels good.
I do miss it with the hard seal though, has a pantheon support player.
Man, when it did like 500 damage, it was super OP.
That was crazy.
Alright, Rahel, catching the mid wave, the Herald is up and Sentinel's are trying to
get this Scuttle Crab for it, Tatu, he has some backup and he's not going to go all
the way forward as Kigo and Impact find themselves in a 1v1 yet again, helping
Execution will land the needlework used by impact
You go trying to sidestep it that one will land impact with a snip snip trying to find the last ticket damage flashes
And now running away as you go flashes for where the best the cool downs the best the dashes
The best one be ones you go finds the kill. I mean you just don't win that
I didn't even really understand why he was chasing so I was kind of wondering if he was seeing something that I
I wasn't seeing, or if I was missing something, it never looked at any point that he was winning that 1v1 with me.
And he's just chasing in, like he's gonna win.
I mean, Gigo still had like 500 health left at the end. It wasn't even close.
And now the Herald is secured by Hanbok, so Furia were grouping up for a potential contest. They don't actually go for it.
Even though Gigo did find that solo kill on the bot side, so I guess it's something for Sentinels, but yeah, that's so much for you Gigo.
He gets the kill, he gets the turret.
I mean, the game should be over at this point.
And it is closing in on a 4K lead.
It's a 2K individual lead for Impact.
After he was put in such a good spot,
I think he has played a really bad game
from that early advantage.
And Geego is smacking him around now,
able to team up with Toots a couple times,
take him down, and then Impact just,
he fully opted into that, right?
Like, that was not as though Impact's
gotten stuck in this spot and had to take this fight.
He's chasing him.
He's chasing him down the river.
That whole way and I feel like you were never even close to winning the fight
So I don't get it, but impact is down again
And now yeah, as I said about 4k lead and if you're looking really really strong
We'll see if Sentinels can find some sort of a really good team fight
Yeah
Now's when we have to start giving the gig a cope here because we talked about how snowbally these camps can get but hey if you
Find a pit
Somebody out of position still engage tools for sentinels. They're theoretically as possible
Darklings is getting this top turret nice influx of gold for the mid laner here as
Sentinels are trying to hold the middle lane
Glacial prison goes out and killer instinct will dodge it and Tuz has to flash
From the yone old so that's a couple of plays there for sentinels. They're finding some stuff
Yep, gonna be able to get a cleanse a flash killer instinct. That is something for them
But of course, good lane power can go down and already lost that bot lane turret so over 4,000 gold now
So yeah, you got a summer year or two playing. It's got who he behind him as well
But there's we go there's time to the engage from who he will land with the pop loss of reengagement to follow up from
Sentinels and theory of they got the trigger pull as well
We highlighted it before the engages real if I do it some damage. She will trade one back as three fall
Furia still winning the fight for hell trying to get some damage on the top
but impact will still die. 4 for 2 in favor of Furia.
Yeah 4 for 2 who he goes for the engage but as you said Pop Awesome is there
and there's not really anyone in position to follow up anyway to be honest
so you know that was rough and then I didn't see who actually hit that
blast cone but then Darkwings gets knocked back into the middle of the
team I don't know if that was Furia hitting it and knocking him in or if
that was a mistake from Sentinels again, but now 5.5k gold lead and it is getting rough.
The early rapid fire here, normally TFs will build with screen seconds and rapid fire, but
I actually really like how early rapid fire in a game like this because it's just going
to be all about the CC, all about the pick, so who do those players, no one can even
hit during the fight, no one's even in position to hit and the TF ult is instantly there
to reinforce.
The impact was not in position to really join the fight.
It was Gigo who public executioned and then hits the blast gun as we're back to live and
Nobody goes down. It looks like we're just scrapping in the top side right there
But yeah, even during the read like Darkwings doesn't have fate seal like they don't have the tool
It's actually in there. Yes, it's like that's just a really ambitious engage
It's just desperation right and and they clearly think that the game is still rolling out of control
It's kind of similar to what they did last game when they started losing right where they're just gonna start sending it
at every fight and I hope it works out.
Last game it started to work out
and they kind of started to get back into it,
but this game, six-day down at 20 minutes
and you're all milled in.
Public execution dodged by the mist
and Skiko had Tatu behind him,
but Impact's able to absorb it and no play for Furia.
Yep, no play for them,
so they are able to absorb that engage.
And you're kind of hoping maybe,
you know, you just get that miracle,
rail engage into the follow-up from Darkwings.
He has his IE done now, so his damage is going to be very, very high.
You know, you are going to be having the opportunity to burst in people down, but it is going to
be tough.
And who he is playing with, which I think makes sense, given the repfire from the
TF, right?
Gold card is going to be so powerful in a game like this, but it does mean that
he is going to get one shot every time he goes in.
Yeah.
He's not a tanky rail.
No.
You are one set of spells on Mikaels and then you die.
That's basically what it is, right? So that's a pretty big trade-off.
Yeah, that's not a great place to be as Sentinels will throw the Herald and Teleport in.
Gotta be careful as their junglers engage.
Hanbok takes a huge chunk of damage.
Gigo completes the Teleport, and now Sentinels in full retreat.
Tattoo pops into the ender, lands an agave under a hell and a glacial prison under Jojo.
They got the Niko!
Sentinels with a clutch bind in the fight.
Can now turn a background on the Gigo who's jumping in.
Low health bars off the jungle for Sentinels,
It doesn't matter.
Star Queen's getting his top-tuts.
Now finally joining up with a play.
Goalkeeper land who he's down.
But it is traded for the top laner.
Two for one, so far.
Killer instinct from IU.
The case of flies over everybody and is shredding
through Sentinels.
Double kill the Tuts.
Rahel will trade back on the Gigo.
But he's stunned off a quadra kill the Tuts.
And Furious smashed the fight.
Yep, and that is a big fight indeed for Furious.
Sentinels, found a pretty good angle to start the fight, you know, they got a killer too, but
Tuts arrives, gets a Quadra as they go in and it just didn't feel like they had the tools to lock him down.
You know, when Aiyu goes forward, when Tuts goes forward, they realize so many of the tools have already been spent from Sentinels.
So they just play it so aggressively and are able to find a lot of those kills. That is a suspicious ward.
I like how he was using the sweeper though, so it still seemed like a control ward.
I didn't even know.
There you go.
When's the last time you saw Quadra Kill on a twisted fate in this type of team composition?
Let's get an underlook at that, though.
Yeah, it's been a while for sure.
Ombock, this was a really nice turn from him, the Gligial Prison.
He finds it onto JoJo, and they're able to burst him down to the Popples and come through,
and then Twitz is like, wait, I can't flank, and they're thinking, hey, it's a 5v3 right now.
This could actually be looking pretty good, but Gigo is so fed, flashes out from the Fate Seals.
They re-engage, you know, and talk to you, but I think Gumi maybe went a bit too early still, though.
You have the numbers in this case, but then here comes the all thing from IU
Creates a lot of space. Gigo goes aggressive on the other side where hell does take him down
But they just knew there wasn't enough tools to deal with all them
So I you full sends it creates space for the rest of the team really well played there from Furia
He's like what we did that
That's awesome. Oh
Oh beautiful moment for Fury and I got to say tough series for LCS fans watching here tough for us as well
Holy tough days couple tough days. I mean fury if they just play the rest of this game cleanly
They're gonna go undefeated into the finals against both of the LCS representatives. Yeah, I didn't drop a game inside their LCS team
So not what you want to see for sure. I mean Sentinels Sentinels this one seems the most over last last game
I didn't like their draft but gold wise they were still in it game one
I thought they were an actually a winning position for a lot of it personally
I'm sure other people have other takes, but I thought they had a really good shot
But this one they are kind of just getting blown out of the water
So I'm gonna need I'm gonna need everybody at home then all the LCS fans raise your hands. We got a we have spear
Energy because they're gonna need it man. It's the 7k gold deficit
Dragon Soul in four minutes but Baron's already on the table.
Furia can look at it right now.
Yep, and they are going to start to pressure this.
And it's going to be really, really difficult to deal with for hell.
It's quite strong when he has his big three items, but on the other side,
you're looking across and every carry is 1.5 to 2k ahead.
So that is really, really tough.
Hey, Tatu's only 967 ahead.
There you go.
But I'm not gonna give him the carry because he's jungler, but he's still a carry.
Well, fair enough.
Yep.
Even if it's a carry champion.
I say Adrox's carry champion.
In a way, as to who he actually goes for the engage here on the touch.
Glacial prison, a pick for Sentinels.
But the pop loss of response for health throws out the ult for the wrong way.
Who he goes down.
Trader supports, as IU still gets some damage.
And Impact is in the mist, alone with Tatu.
Furious spreading around.
Gigo goes out to impact on the flank here as Darkwing's trying to get onto IU.
It's only supports falling on both sides and Sentinels find their pick, but do not get much more
So I'm gonna need to hit that tower that tower was doing so much for period
It's legit like one auto
But I guess they were worried about if you go forward to get CC under it
We're helping to the feather storm the correct direction as well because that blade collar could have been huge
And just controlling the space they're just gonna TP even on it
So now Sentinels gonna have to try to get in there. They're aware of it, but it's gonna be tough
All right humbug walking forward dragging there a Baron rather down to under 10k
It's about the real health show they have my space for the Ziya
But humbug's already giga chunked out dark wings going forward Baron still focused up smite it down as
Fury a pick up the objective Sentinels can't even get into the river to contest
Yep, not going to be able to do anything for it instant cleanse from dark wings
They look at other actions the mcales from who he's so good from him to keep his a carry safe
But yeah, Baron's enough for Furia here, plus the gold lead.
They can either try and close the game or they can just use this Baron to get the Dragon Soul.
Yep, they'll probably just play for Soul.
With these kind of compositions, it is a little bit harder to siege, right?
It's almost 26 minutes, Sam.
Exactly, it's still pretty early. So if you group up and you all get AWE, that's kind of the only way.
Sentinels would have a chance, but they are closing in on a 7000 gold lead.
They have Soul here in a minute and a half, and they have the Baron to continue pushing this advantage.
advantage so they are looking really really good. Soots almost has his deathcap even so that is big
IU has the Seekers now so it gets even harder now to find a potential one shot or to find a potential
pick here for Sentinels yeah and so they are in tough as Fury have just been better. Fury have
just exited in the big moments they've looked more coordinated in the teamfights and even the
individual play I feel like I feel like the soul lanes have really been outclassed today
for Sentinels. Impact in Darkwing's I think I've been super outclassed by their their counterparts.
I mean Furia are playing clean they're playing clinical Sentinels. They're playing like they just
got off Willie Nelson's Sorbust dude. Like we got to figure out what's going on with this
vacation that LCS is on down in Brazil because getting swept back to back by Furia is pretty
tough. Tough look for sure. Pretty tough look as that's about what is about to happen here. Furia
45 seconds till that Dragon Soul. Sentinel's so far behind it's taught to get some damage on Darkwing, but actually Darkwing
straights a decent amount back. Now IU, I'm going to W. Gigo, under turret, under a hell that's already Feather Storm used, so no Ziya
ultimate for the Dragon Soul can test if Sentinel's can even get out there.
Yep, that is a public execution trade for it, but now that is going to be a shorter cooldown, and Gigo just knowing his limits, putting that
putting that pressure on constantly here as mid lane tier 2 will fall easily to the cannons,
he doesn't have to risk anything, and we'll see, can they even get out there?
I feel like no, I think the chances are low to even get over there, I mean you probably
can't win with Ocean Soul but you're probably never going to be able to get to Ocean Soul
so I kind of...
Look at this vision!
Yeah, everything is covered, so I mean it's either you give this and then you
turtle up and hope you can get a random elder or you flip it and just send
Hombok in by himself to go on a one-way one-way mission. I mean impact is just
pushing in on the top wave. Toss actually gets behind Hombok so how are you flying
over with the kill-encing instant cleanse on the glacial prison? Hombok is
hunted, Dragon Soul is claimed, Furia are running away with this game as
Hombok will just try and hit this wave. Impact is still pushing in the top
But it was how about falling feels like this is the final game winning push from fury of the even still at the baron
It just expired, but now they can defend against top push and regroup as a team. Yep. Nicely done
Furia gonna be able to claim this you have to think I mean there's no reason for them to flip it
They just play it really well
They use both the TF and the Kaiser push in and now they're gonna try to push in and
Eventually end the series right here
They're grouping up as five on the bottom side and that means that Sentinels have only one avenue
They have to defend as the mid lane is the next focus here
So if Sentinels can keep these inhibitor turrets up they will have humbug respawning
They can go for another 5v5 fight, but the gold lead is just so big for fury up plus the dragon soul keeps them all
Tom top and healthy in this fight
Think about talking land is tuts the focus lands gold card
Stunned on the impact, but no follow-up from this.
The team top two just keeps dashing back and forward over this little wall.
Keeping Sentals on their toes, but without the Baron it is hard for Fury to actually continue the siege in these lanes.
So for now they're going to back off.
Yep, can be a bit difficult, but still all they need is really one opportunity if Sentals steps a bit too far forward.
They are going to get picked, and then that is going to be the end of the series.
series. Sennl's gonna keep fighting it out of course. Gonna try to look for any
small window of opportunity that they could find. It is gonna be so tough
though. I mean maybe you one shot the TF who has no zone he is. Yeah maybe. I mean
it's gonna be a miracle place at this point. It could be Gigo. If he walks in
and hits his way he's giving us an opportunity but yeah he doesn't have to.
Wait for the rest of the team. You don't see anybody on Sennl's on the
map. They just played out the bottom vision. And Sennl's haven't even taken
because bot tier 3 turret, like that is an outer turret in mid and bot lane.
Yep, we've been pretty much on the back of the foot, you know there was just too many mistakes in the early game.
Impact was in a good spot and Darkwing got into a good spot but then they just didn't execute in the fights.
In fact, he was using his miss really aggressively for just kind of these trading patterns a lot of the time
and then, see if we find an angle to kill him off, then he tried to take this 1v1 down bot side, gets solo killed.
And so that was really really tough and then it's just been Sentinels on the back foot the whole time looking for an opportunity to find a fight
But we talked about in draft when you have these kind of compositions where it's just a whole bunch of melee champs all running at each other
One team gets ahead. Yeah, that's generally relevant that that does come out on top
It feels like
Again, I don't want to have hope but it still feels like there's a couple of avenues that Sentinels can't play because you highlight
There is no zone is on tuts. We can try and get on the IU. Yeah, the zone is available
But like it is a squishy target even the Nico relatively squishy with only some armor and a little bit of health
So it's not like it's impossible. I want to believe
It's just so hard to right now if you already have played this so well
I mean the the gold lead though is so massive. So yes
I there is a world in which you want to the TF or whatever, but
Exactly, you have to spend so many tools to do that and everyone everyone on their team is super fed, right?
We're talking to free dragon souls are worth around 60 of stats and then they're over 8,000 gold heads
You have to be thinking about it as a 14,000 gold lead at 30 minutes, right?
And when you think about it like that, it's very
I don't like it. No, I'm not you know, I'm gonna choose not to. I'm gonna choose to ignore the dragons and the numbers
Let's go, baby. I'm gonna focus on
I'm looking at the big purple worm, baby
Maybe Gigo has the teleport, he's going to go for the flank right now.
Could come down to a smite fight, Tatu gets in the pit but does not get it.
Now he's all alone for a few seconds, sentinels, they get the GA, they get the Baron,
and now they got to fight their way out of here.
Flash of the world, Tatu now goes back over, I can't get the damage out,
sentinels they fight their kill, but Ingo's Gigo, Ingo is caught.
The play caller does not get the kill, sentinels fought for it.
They almost found the play.
The Baron is not an obvious, gotta win the fight afterwards.
Furia hold the line and they get the ace.
They'll get the game.
Azale, we just got swept by C.B. Lowell.
Twice, twice, twice.
Got the same team, man.
Furia too good, too strong.
Good try at the end there by Sennolds.
They got the Baron, they got a couple kills.
Honestly, not bad, but Furia gonna take that Baron
for Nexus trade every time.
Well played to Furia, undefeated against back to bat LCS opponents in the America's Cup.
They will 3-0 Sentinels and continue to finals.
Well played, they're just better, I mean, you know, we can make excuses that whatever we want,
yeah it is tough traveling down there, it is tough, you know, not having a lot of time to complete the events,
but at the end of the day Furia are just out playing across two series.
Now this one was a lot closer.
It felt like even though it was still a sweep,
I think Semmles had really good chances
in game one and game two.
But they did not execute when it mattered.
They kind of choked it in the big moments,
and Fury did not.
I feel like they drafted really smart pumps.
They played towards their wing additions
really, really, really well.
Game one, game two.
A lot of A O E C C.
They coordinated well with that.
This game, they obviously go with the T F,
which it's kind of a controversial pick.
Some people really don't like it,
but they found the windows to punish impact
where he was missing that hella miss.
They get up there to kill him multiple times.
And I just think they played a great series.
My favorite play also is when the Dragon Soul is being set up,
Tuts uses Destiny to get behind, throws the gold card,
sets up the killer instinct from IU,
and they just eliminate Hanbok's approach.
Like, that's a really cool way to play it,
because, like, Kaisa ult is kind of a semi-global,
but you need something to set it up.
TF's a semi-global,
but often you need something to follow it up.
Hey, that paired beautifully.
That was a really fun moment there, too.
So it wasn't just the top lane.
It was Tuts always getting around the map,
setting up the team. And I mean, it hurts as an LCS fan. We're a little biased on this
gas being the English. We're a lot biased. We were told, we were told to full send the
bias, full send the bias. Well, I got to say, bias for Brazil. Congratulations on the
three. Oh, I got some Brazilian soda cans here for us. Will you open with me? Yes,
sir. There we go. You know what? For Furia. For Furia.
originally. Yeah. Yeah. I've never tasted this before. That's good. That's actually delicious.
Not bad. Cheers. Cheers to Furia. Oh, well earned win. We have who he, I hear joining us for an
interview after their loss today. I'm curious what the team's feeling after that one. I mean,
yeah, let's get it from who he himself. Hello, who we thank you for joining us.
Top after going down 0-3, but so happy that you can join us. How do you feel and how's the team feeling after playing Furia?
Yeah, I mean we got 3-0 by Furia and obviously we should play better, but getting 3-0 is not a great feeling.
But I think props to them, they played well and we underperformed, so it is what it is. We just have to show up next time.
How did you feel? Obviously, game 3, that one got away from you guys pretty quick,
But game one, game two, to me, felt like you guys were in pretty good positions,
but just kind of failed to execute in late game team fights.
Did you kind of view it the same way or did you think it was more about, you know, something else?
Kind of how did you view those two first games?
I think you touched the base pretty well. I do think game one and game two were in a pretty
decent spot to win the game and the game kind of blew up because we had like bad executions
in team fights but for all life like I also played pretty bad early game like
getting caught a lot and stuff like that so yeah I think those are the things
that we just have to look at and try to fix for the next time. Well I want to
give some credit to Furia and get your thoughts on them because they just went
undefeated against both C9 and Sentinels now as a competitor what do you have
to say about Furia and the way that they play League of Legends that's
it's giving them the success.
I mean, I think they're pretty aggressive
and they're actually pretty good.
I think it kind of plays in both ways where like,
I feel like, you know, sometimes we're not performing best,
but also they're just like overall better than us for now.
So yeah, I think even though it's like
we won versus Red,
I think Furia was the better team in my opinion
when I played them on stage.
So, yeah, I think there's just a lot of things
that we just have to look internally
and try to perform better
if we face them again in the finals.
So how are you feeling then tomorrow?
Because obviously I think a lot of LCS fans were thinking,
all right, it's gonna be all LCS finals.
We know that that is not true now.
Fury is already gonna be waiting in the finals.
You're gonna have to play against C9
in the lower bracket.
Obviously they beat you guys in playoffs
in the LCS playoffs,
but a lot of people are feeling like C9
is looking worse these days.
So are you guys feeling pretty confident?
Yeah, I think I definitely still do feel confident
about this tournament.
I think all we've got to do now is, you know,
like we play tomorrow, so there's not much preparation
that we can do.
We just have to make sure that, like, our body condition is
good, like, we're sleeping decently well,
and try to show up tomorrow, like,
like how we will normally do.
And I just want to be able to play our game.
So yeah, I think mainly that's
what we're going to focus on.
Alright, well we'll be chairing you on against C9 to see who will come back for the rematch against Fiora in the final.
Thank you so much, Huji, for coming and chatting with us. We're gonna let you get going while we wrap up the show.
Always tough to take those interviews right after a loss like that, but I'm happy we got to hear from Huji.
And again, he's giving credit. I mean, for your board just better on the day.
I mean, it's undeniable. They've been better across both those series.
You know, yeah, you can make it whatever excuses you want, but at the end of the day
it's about who is executing in those big moments,
who is performing in the moment,
and Furia across the whole series
was better in the big moments in all three games, right?
They were showing up when it mattered.
I felt like Tatu was winning the Smites.
I feel like they're just executing in the teamfights.
And I think in particular that Carries
were executing better to me.
This series really did feel like soul lane gap.
I felt like not that other players didn't make mistakes
and not that it's all on, you know,
any one player or anything like that.
But it did feel like consistently, you know,
Gigo and Totsuo were really showing up in those big moments and having a big impact in those fights.
And I felt like, oftentimes, it was the guys on the Sentinels that were falling short.
But when you look at the totality of the series, I felt like Tatsu was so consistent across all three games,
always finding really good engages in the Wukong.
He was so good on the Skarner, much less popular pick.
But I felt like his timings and the engages and the peeling was so good with the Impale and the E. Charles impact.
And then in this final game, putting a lot of pressure on even right from level one on the Aatrox,
and even when he got put down a bit, he still was able to find a couple kills,
and then became super relevant in the fights.
I should not see what he was writing there in that full screen.
That's the first time we saw the full picture of him.
It looked like a bull.
I don't send those in cloud.
Oh, no.
So he's going to make a cursed photoshop later.
I'll take a look at the bracket now.
And look at that, baby!
Fioria to oh cloud nine Kia to oh three oh sentinels right there
I was the best of five I black blank one of those games out of my memory even three oh sentinels and
C9 barely were able to take down a red canids
Colunga yes, we got Colunga. We did not get Colunga. That's what we got going for us
You know, I take that one of the bank is so far. That's what else has to be proud of it's gonna be an LCS versus LCS
Lower bracket finals to see who gets the rematch against Fioria
Don't worry. No one beats LCS three times in a row. I think
LCK and LPL have something to say about that one. No, no, okay
Cuz we're out like ten times in a row for that. No one beats LCS three times in a row in America's cup in America's cup
It hasn't happened yet. Yep. It's gonna be set in a lever
Tomorrow, who are you favoring on that one sale? I gotta go sentinels man
I think I think cloud nine has been looking really really rough these last couple series
I do feel like if about nine can teleport back to their form three weeks ago
I think they could legit just stomp sentinels again stomp fury in the finals
But they have looked really rough at America's Cup
They look out of sorts in finals and I just feel like it is the C9 has not been looking
Like themselves and I think based on current form you have fear sent
I think they've been better team in America's Cup for sure
I gotta agree and a reminder for everybody if you see on your screen
It's daylight savings. So set your alarms a little earlier and remember that we are starting technically an hour earlier
From a normal and actually I believe we are just yeah at 12 p.m.
At Pacific time, so actually just an hour earlier plus the daylight savings time times a funny concept isn't as ill
Yes, but daylight savings. Why does it even exist? I don't know when I lived in Phoenix. They have no daylight savings there
It's actually just better. Wait, they don't know
We don't need it. It's pointless. What are the Phoenicians doing? There's there's no
It's completely fake. You don't need it. You don't need daylight savings time is a construct everybody
But remember that we will be an hour earlier on Sunday, right? Yeah, just Sunday, right? Yeah
I think it was just Sunday. That's when daylight savings in Saturday tomorrow. I'm here from producers
Thank you producers for saving me right here, and then also daylight savings type on Sunday set your alarms everybody
Thank you for tuning in. We just got three out by furia. Let's see tomorrow who can get the rematch see you there
We find ourselves in the upper bracket.
Both of these teams defeated their opponents in 2-0 fashion to get here.
And now we see who wins in their first best of five.
It's gonna be Furia taking on Sentinels.
She'll be forward, now turned onto the Dragon.
Tatsu looking for, he got it!
Tatsu with the Dragon steal.
Sentinels will now go up in the front, shot by CM Gage here on the impact.
Still has the stasis called for.
Got Mulan's head away, follow up, impact is down!
And Furia are running away with the team fight!
Double kill to IU!
Rahel does not have the space to work with Gigo!
He's too tanky!
Tatsu just itchled the impact into the wall and missed lane though.
We have a 1v1, Darkwing's again escapes.
Die from Hop-Bock!
But Tatsu flashing forward for the kill.
the kill who he's gonna go down as well I don't know we need to go under that
turret
looks under the bar but instead they turn out the dark wings you see far more
than the rest of sentinel who he missed time in the top of the bay to try and save
his mid laner dark wings goes down but he might be traded for stunts if they
can get the equality it could be worth blotcher for all the time they take
down who he the urea will not lose their mid laner and they'll kill
impact out of the Zahan passive.
Sentinels do not win the dragon soul fight.
Tuts now finally join out for the play.
Goldgoodland, who he's down,
but it is traded for the top laner.
Two for what so far.
Killer instinct from Aniu.
The kite's a fly over everybody
and is shredding through Sentinels.
Double kill the Tuts.
Rahel will trade back on the ego,
But he's stunned off a quadra kill the times.
