to win. Hello. Welcome back to
America's Cup Day four. We're
in the lower bracket here. The
winners match for losers. Yeah
but but North America's gonna
win. We're going to win a
series. Here we got good news
and bad news. Bad news. We're
gonna win and we're gonna
lose. Yeah, exactly. Good
Oh my goodness. It's crazy.
Furia 5-0ed this series,
but all of the participants of this series.
Yep, haven't lost a game yet.
They're smurfing it.
And Sentinels, you know,
they were able to take down right-cannon.
It's pretty cleanly.
Cloud9, a bit of a struggle in the lower back-up,
but they got past them as well.
We'll have to see.
I mean, the big question for me is just,
as the teams adjust, you know,
schedule is pretty rough for Cloud9 going down.
You know, normally for Riot internationals,
You have their teams arrive like a week early,
or something like that.
Cloud9, day after finals flew down,
and obviously did not play well,
did not do well at finals either.
So I think mentally not in the best shape,
but I'm hoping that since they've had a little bit of time,
we'll see how they look today.
And if you can have a one good series,
maybe things can turn around.
Time to get back in shape.
Exactly.
Cloud9, they're gonna hit the gym, delete Facebook.
You can launch it.
Yeah.
Focus back up.
lock in locking boys sentinels as you said sentinels have I think generally been looking better at least like the difference between their play here and their play there is a lot smaller than the difference for cloud nine.
So that actually makes this series more interesting because you remember when they played in lock in cloud nine three oh yeah.
swept them. Cognite swept them 3-0 and so with the current states, you know, the
specify might get a little bit more spicy. I'm kind of, you know, more interested.
It's a lot harder to predict. Yeah, because a couple weeks ago, you would,
we all gave Sentinels more chance and then, and then they got swept, right?
So it was pretty accurate to that. But even in the the loss yesterday to, to
Firiya for Sentinels, they were in with chances at least. Like I think game
one, game two, they easily could have won in late game, but they just bungled
bullie team team fights and you know credit to fear yet credit to fear yet for not doing that
but yet no i'm curious to see how today is going to go it should be uh should be a pretty fun match
and yeah we'll see we'll see i'm just i feel a bit bad for cloud nine this is my prediction today so
you might be saying a zeal fear is not not playing today but the thing is based on how the
tournament has gone we can't count out the fear of players showing up just randomly throughout
the day and sweeping one of our teams. So I'm not counting it out. If they're in the crowd,
you know, jump on. Yeah, they'll definitely win. I honestly do. When I saw your prediction,
I was like, pump that up to a five. Oh, because they lit. That's what they literally did to our
balls. It's not NATO. They can go five threes as long as we're, we get those last three.
We're going to show up when it matters. We're baiting them into a false sense of security
and fury. Let me tell you, they're feeling secure. They're feeling very secure right now. It's not false.
It's true security. It's true security. Yeah, they're locked up. We're going to show them today.
Well, we're really capable against each other. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, honestly, too, if we're
going down some of the lanes here for this matchup, last time around in lock in, one of the reasons
why it was so one sided, you know, and you just start from the top here and you're like,
like, wow, you know, this lanes for cloud nine, this lanes for cloud nine, this
lanes for cloud nine, especially, you know, like, then it's over impacts.
There's just like lane phase and everything like that.
But, you know, it's happening a much better year this year than last year.
And, you know, he, he could definitely play weak side and play to absorb.
I think Hombok as well.
I, Liberus not looks in peak form at all.
Last three series very far off has been crazy.
So I think Hombok actually might I might even give the advantage to Hombok right now
because he's been playing a lot better with both Darkwings and who he.
And so a lot of these things are kind of, you know, moving the other way now.
They are. Yeah. The new APA like he keeps on like he looks like tilted
and frustrated sometimes.
And like he's been making individual mistakes.
The two walking up and getting to Lea's seismic shoved just raw
on the rise there, bro, after the just a raw show.
Nobody was like, he's taking the right thing and just walked up and got a seismic shoved into it.
You can do that. You can just walk up and seismic shoved him like that. That's crazy.
I guess you can.
You can. Turn it out.
The APA was the one walking up, though.
Yeah, I know. Yeah.
Blubber, Blubber, it's weird because I feel like going into finals, I had felt Blubber was in the best form we've seen from him in years.
I was thinking, holy crap, Blabber is back, right?
Because it had been way more of a discussion of obviously inspired and even River and guys
like that kind of outperforming him, right?
And I had felt like Blabber was playing some of his best League of Legends in years.
And I thought going into finals weekend, all right, Blabber's getting ready to maybe
get back on top.
And you know, and then has had inspired just yeah, inspired, inspired beat him down.
And then he got beat down here as well, I feel like so he is not having a good
a couple of series, but sometimes that can change quick.
You know, if the players can have a bit of a mental reset,
you know, they did have some time off yesterday.
Obviously they barely scraped by in the lower bracket,
but then they didn't have to play yesterday.
They've been in Brazil for a number of days now,
you know, four or five days.
So hopefully, you know, no more jet lag issues.
They're not tired.
They're feeling better.
Did they go to Korean Barbecue for APA's birthday?
Oh, that's the true.
After screw.
Exactly.
Is Korean Barbecue available?
Brazil has good BBQ at their own. Do you still go for KBBQ in Brazil or do you get some Brazilian BBQ?
Is it equally as memeable as the KBBQ meme from last year?
We do have some interviews as well from some of the players previously. Let's see if we can get to these.
Yeah, I'm curious to hear what you say.
We lost O3, which I thought, I mean, they were good, but I think we had a lot of problems
with our team fighting and our decision making and playing aggressive when we need to.
So I think today we kind of underperformed a lot.
And I thought it should be a closer series, but I thought we just played very poorly today.
I think C9, I'm not sure how their condition is, because they didn't look that great yesterday against Red.
I think really just both of our teams seem like we have ups and downs, so I think whoever has the better day will win.
Yeah, for the lower bracket final, I think, to be honest, it doesn't really matter who we play against.
We just have to play better and the kind of nice part about our performance so far
discernment is that now no one has any expectations of us because you played
so terribly so we'll go into the game thinking you know we have nothing to
lose and yeah we'll do our best with whichever team we face I think yeah like
I said it doesn't matter who we play we have to play better so we'll use this
time try to get better and no pressure you know we sucked we currently
suck so if we win it'll be nice and we'll try our best some self-aware
players. I respect that very self aware. You know, we suck. He's like we sucked. We could
not possibly suck worse. So now there's no expectations. The pressure is up. They hit
rock bottom. Yeah. Now they're going to bounce back for the Rick J. Cause they hit rock bottom
fast. Yeah. Quite velocity. Right. They're about to go right now. Wates on all their
ankles. Straight to the bottom. Straight in the bottom. All right. Now we're bouncing
Now we're going up and out of space.
Now, Cloud9 will be winning Worlds this year.
And this is going to be the first step on that road.
The trajectory from here up to Worlds now.
There we go. I like it.
That's the next step.
Honestly though, and it started with Darkwing's there.
You could hear from him too.
Kind of going over some of their mistakes.
And he was a little lighter.
He was like, oh, we both have some ups and downs.
Cloud9 and Vulcan was like, nah, we're mostly just down.
We're bad. And everyone knows it.
I don't know if he expects anything.
But, you know, they're both like, yeah, this is crazy.
Like we're playing so much worse than they they they they're playing worse than they expected.
And so their main focus is just improving on themselves.
They're not even really looking at, oh, this thing or that thing about our opponents.
Yeah.
You're always like focused on your own gameplay first when stuff like this happens.
Yeah, I mean, absolutely. When I'm thinking to yesterday's games,
I mean, Darkwing's on the Vigar game.
Even after the Nexus blew up and they lost all their towers,
usually Gold goes pretty heavily in the other team's favor.
He was still up 3,000 Gold individually at that point.
Died in that game without using Flash or Zonis
in that final fight.
You know, they were really stacked.
Rahel is split mid.
They're not even together as a team.
Man, they kept stacking carries next to each other.
And Rahel wasn't even in that fight,
that last fight in the Vigar game.
And then the next game also wasn't able to Flash
the Seraphine Encore, even though that was on vision,
got CC'd up 100-0, dived without Flash
in that final fight on 6th and Rise 2.
So, you know, those are mistakes that, like you're saying,
you are not thinking about what the other team did.
You're just thinking about, like, I messed that up.
Like, we need to be on the same page.
The team needs to all be together as five for the fight.
We can't be dying without using any summoners or abilities
or being on the same page at the very least.
So I think both teams are, you know, looking to themselves.
Best part about this tournament?
The Toons.
It's been the Toons.
Definitely not the game play from an A.
Yes, no.
It's not been us.
It's been the teams.
And we're about to get into it again!
I think we played very, very poorly.
I think it's Cloud9.
Once again, it shows me that it's a team that's full of failures.
The kind of nice part about our performance so far is the tournament,
is that now no one has any expectations of us because we played so terribly.
So we'll go into the game thinking, you know, we have nothing to lose.
I think we played very poorly.
I think it's Cloud9.
thinking, you know, we have nothing to lose.
Thank you for the fight.
The fight before the execution is the one that tries to win,
but the fight was completely defeated.
Ultimately, you can be white for everything that's next to you.
The movement of the world was already up above,
and space, the fight was already done by the crowd in the air,
and the Apacists too!
I mean, yeah, for Sentinels, we played them quite a bit in NA.
I think they're better now compared to how they were in playoffs
when we played against them with 3-0, them.
It was a pretty easy series overall.
But obviously we're not in the greatest shape right now and they've been improving every time.
We know them all and we've taken them down before so I think we'll do it again.
We had a lot of problems with our team-fighting and our decision-making and playing aggressive when we need to.
We just played very poorly.
They managed to get the CT, they came unprepared, kind of unprepared, kind of vague.
C9 didn't look that great against Red.
Both of our teams seem like we have ups and downs, so I think whoever has the better day, we'll win.
There we go.
We're here.
There we go.
Okay.
Vulcan and who he leading the charge to the squads.
Gonna be walking out and yeah it's weird because I feel like sometimes when you go international
and you're having a bad event, playing against your own region gives you that mental reset
because you've played them so many times.
We have seen this happen before.
Comfort.
Exactly.
I've played these guys a thousand times.
I know exactly how you play.
You're not gonna be necessarily nervous.
You're not gonna be necessarily surprised by anything that is going on so that can maybe snap you back to reality a little bit here
If you're still looking pretty happy. Yeah, he's back to confidence. Yeah, there we go. Exactly. They've had some time
They won their last series. Yeah, you're on a streak. Yeah
Convincingly exactly there on a tear in the lower bracket
They're heating up right now
They are heating up.
Sentinels heating up as well.
Let's see.
There we go.
We got it.
That's my spot.
He's like, oh, from my back.
Top laner's at the top.
David Dose locked in.
There's no comedy in this.
Yeah.
Oh.
False start.
Oh, man, we are killing it.
Let's go.
Sentinels synergy.
Oh, worrying trend.
Get back, turn a walk past the team.
Who are you living too early?
You know, this could be a sign for their team fighting.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Are they going to be coordinated in their team fights now?
Yeah.
Were they coordinating the stage intro in greener English?
For team fight comms, you know?
That's actually been one of the really cool things that's been different this time around.
And the comms listed in what we've gotten here has been almost all English compared to what they were doing up here in North America.
So I wonder if they're just going to stick with that, because it didn't sound like they
were having too much trouble.
And it was either.
The comp sounded pretty clean.
Yeah, they haven't been looking clean as far as the comps are concerned.
Definitely.
Well, you know, you know, I would say it's the funny thing about yesterday's series
is they got 3-0ed, but I feel like it wasn't bad.
Exactly.
And especially for game one and game two, they actually looked good for like 90% of
the game.
that the 10% was the 10% that matters most that's the hard thing about league is that you can play really really well for 25 minutes straight build slow incremental advantages and then completely
choke it in a big team fight and whoop there goes your 25 minutes you're done. Yep so much of it revolves around these big comments of these big end game objectives.
Yeah I mean the game really is just about sacking dragons down and so it comes down to these key fights especially if you're gonna be on the side where all right we're gonna give early dragons and stack gold.
You have to execute when you show up to prevent that soul.
So we'll see what they're going to be looking for today,
if anyone's going to get a little bit spicy in the draft,
or if it's just going to be more standard stuff that we've been seeing.
Yeah, it's interesting, too.
You know, even Vulcan was like,
yes, Sentinels are a lot better than when we played them last
in lock-in tournament in North America.
So this match should be exciting.
That feels so long ago, but it was like two weeks ago.
two weeks ago. It's a different year. I mean life comes at you fast. I was kind of talking
with our manager about this, where it's like for C9, it's crazy to think about the fact
that going into finals, the morning of this last Sunday, so it is now Saturday, so less
than a week ago, they were 12-1, they were feeling like overwhelming favorites to win
finals, and they were feeling so confident, so on top of the world. You lose finals,
you come here and you lose another series,
you struggle in your next, and the turnaround there,
it's like quick whiplash.
So apparently though, because I did hear
that even during that time where we were all like,
oh my God, Cloud9's undoubtedly the best, yeah.
They were still losing a lot of scrims and getting clapped,
especially by Lyon specifically.
So the internal scrims were already
kind of starting to show there,
So they weren't as competent as all of us were and then ended up
ended up losing as well on stage.
Scrims are always so funny to go because TL had been doing
I've been owning in scrims the whole time, right?
And so you never know what it means, right?
You know, if you're just having a bad run of scrims,
is that going to show on stage or not?
And it's how you're like approaching the practice, too.
How much it is going to mean?
Totally, exactly.
Are you trying to do picks?
And that's why you're losing.
Varus coming out here as that first pick,
a couple of target bands being thrown over.
So the bar from Vulcan, the APA Ziggs as well as Taliyah.
I do think those are his two best champs, so I'm going to be throwing those
bands towards him and we're just going to get Sivir Jarvan.
I think it's good, yeah.
Every time you see Varus, you're always thinking, alright, now how do we start blowing Varus's
flash?
Jarvan is perfect into that regardless if we know what mid lane carry they go for.
Plus, Darkwing usually plays a lot of low mobility mid lane champions.
So it's, I think it is a very safe kind of open here, here for Cloud9, seeing the Varus.
And even though we had big dokes flex the Varus into top lane, the likelihood of impact
doing that is significantly lower.
So you're like, yeah, this is a bot lane, a red hell, Varus, almost for sure.
And now it will be for sure.
Yep, for sure.
It is going to be down to bot lane.
I also like Zifer as a matchup into Varus, obviously you are outranged, but you
You have so much wave clear and you can exactly, you just attack the wave and you spell shield
the queues and you're going to be pretty comfortable in a lot of these matchups unless the support
matchup is like really disjointed.
The interesting thing about Phantos is going to go for top lane match here or if they're
going to disjoint things, go for support.
I actually like maybe going just for the Nico here and then throw a couple support
bans.
You could maybe even get a pretty significant advantage on the bot side.
Like current of art is already banned karma is usually annoying for Niko like that's just too much. I was thinking yeah
They're okay. They got it to you
It's like the pokus is too much, so like the big the big Niko bully
Yeah, I think you just probably need the karma man and then can throw the other one
Up towards you know mid lane or whatever. I don't think that's super important
If there's if there's a mid lane that they would be less wanting them to play
You know hey you're playing jarvan
Maybe you don't want them on a zero because it has mobility.
So maybe you just do something like that.
And I do like this Galeo ban because of what they're showing Jarvan and Niko.
And Galeo is like a very good like answer pick into Rumble.
You know, if your team is that much engaged, very good Galeo ban.
Yep.
The other obvious ban if you're looking at the Rumble answers would be the Aurora
because that's something that Thanatos has been playing a lot.
And Hale, you really use it to bully you in win lane.
Exactly.
And that's really what he has been going for a ton.
In LCS, they were one of the teams
that was letting Rumble through all the time
because he just wanted to play Aurora into it.
Orin is the more standard answer that people go for.
But because of his dantatose, I would be banning Aurora.
Yone going to get banned out for Darkwing's.
I don't think he was great on it yesterday, to be honest.
And generally, he always does play Control Mages.
But I think they're just saying, all right,
let's just guarantee he's on a Control Mage
and ban out that one pick.
Move Alt out.
Yeah, there you go. And it is it is nice that he, you know, got that at least that level of respect.
So, same thing for the Anthos though. As we said.
Those are kind of the ones I'm thinking, because I don't think you want to go in action in Rumble.
If you go and Bessa, though, then you need something for your mid lane.
I mean, APA could still play Niko, by the way. It could be flexed.
I mean, I think it's still a good bottom lane, but technically it could be flexed.
and I was thinking then you're going to need something to really like round out this team.
So technically it could either be an APA or a Vulcan pick.
Both of them are pretty good at playing, you know, engaged style champions.
Yeah.
I mean, a lot of people obviously would be going, you know, for the Ornn answer.
But because it's Sanatose again, he just tends to prioritize these carries.
He's still good on the Abessa.
And you already have really good engage with both Pop Awesome as well as the Cataclysm,
Black and Dragon Knockup.
Azir was the one that I had mentioned as kind of that multiple control mage
that he maybe could be banning out instead they decided to Yone
and so that does leave Darkwing's a little bit more safety
he's not going to be on a victor or something like that against the Jarvan
so I think this is pretty smart
good disengaged pick for potential pop-off zone for Jarvan engages
and is still in his comfort zone
yeah alright let's see here who he
I think he's just engaged for who he probably
I mean there's a lot of stuff available the Nalaus, the Alistar
The rail, okay, Alistar to keep people on.
Rounds it out pretty nicely, always good with Rumble.
Yep, and it's a really good matchup in a server,
so to me it makes the most sense out of the engaged tools
because combo cannot be blocked,
but that leaves Silas, which would be really, really cool.
Give him an Alistar ult.
Exactly, that's a really good ult.
It's actually to be able to steal away.
He's like, wait, wait, wait,
it just starts laughing when they hover the ante,
but it doesn't even get locked in.
So we'll see if round two of the any can look better than round one. Yeah, uh, if you if you're watching now and you didn't watch C9 series versus lion, and he was a very, very big pick in their last game into the RE of saints and
Sink got a solo kill and the trash talk just exploded off that as well and APA had a very
rough time in that game because of it.
It was really interesting though because the early levels, APA was up 10, 12, 15 CS, forced
him to base and Sink had no buy.
He had to come back with brown boots.
So he was on the super homeless buy, but then APA just completely disrespected him,
didn't pop potions, didn't flash, tried to read the wave, got solo killed.
And then they went for this invade and they fought the 2v2 at the enemy wrappers.
They lost that too and then the game is done.
They lost Fistwinkle.
It's just like actually so over so early.
So yeah, as you say, hopefully this one will be better than the previous one.
The last one is pretty rough.
It was pretty rough, but they have a lot of engage here, a lot of potential targets
as well over on the other side.
When you're thinking about Ferris, you're thinking about Azir, you know, pretty
vulnerable to the hard engage that is going to be coming out from Cloud9.
You have Jarvan engage.
You have the public execution follow-up.
You have the Flash anti-tippers.
So a lot of tools there to actually start up these fights,
not even mentioning Pop Awesome.
Yeah, that's what we were talking about.
Like, okay, so they're gonna need something now
to round out the rest of this comp with more engage.
And that does this, you know, very, very strong engage.
Especially if you're controlling vision,
wards here, vision coverage leading up to dragons.
If you can just get there early, take over vision,
then you cannot face check this team,
or you will get blasted.
You can, you will just die.
Yeah, or whoever does.
Yeah, just have one person do it and not everyone group up.
Yeah, this time the movie is not on the Lulu,
so if you're gonna be space checking for vision,
then it might be a little bit more tanky.
Yeah, I'll start definitely a little bit tankier than Lulu.
Yeah, a little bit tankier for sure.
So we'll see how this is gonna go.
Annie traditionally is used as counter picks
to assassins and short range champions.
It'll be interesting to see how
he does into the Azir.
In early levels, a lot of Annie players
are actually just starting E and they just E and trade autos
because if you're hitting back into it,
you're gonna take that mold and shell damage.
So kind of expecting that from APA,
but I feel like as you get levels,
you're just gonna get outranged and kind of pushed in maybe.
Yeah, and Annie's autos are very smooth
and the range is quite nice.
So you can trade pretty nicely there,
but it makes it volatile.
Lots of Annie lanes are fairly volatile
And so it usually does attract junglers as well.
And since they're running the jargon on the side of Blabber,
and Blabber definitely has options
for trying to go attack Azir early too.
I feel like whoever gets the lead in aggressive plays
in this mid lane has the potential for kills
because same thing for Annie,
if you can blow Annie's flash
and Azir gets the six and stuff, you know,
then you can always have Azir and Vi combinations.
So expect definitely both junglers to play a decent amount of attention to at least warding around mid lane.
Yeah, that was kind of a cute little mind game from Darkwing's.
He knows that APA is going to Molten Gaelic use the shield and you're just going to take a return damage.
So he drops his W, his soldier spawn right beside APA as though he's about to auto him.
And APA ease and he just doesn't hit him.
So it's kind of a fun little mini game there that they were playing and Darkwing's getting the better end of that in that little exchange for now.
Level 3 exchange for Thanatos, pretty even though thus far and since we have junglers
pathing in different directions, maybe we'll just see the crab split but there's a little
bit of time always after your first clear and after your crab that you have to mess
around so Bombot could make a pass like through the river after he picks up the crab on
on top side and see if he can do anything to lighten the lane phase there for
for impacts going against Dantos. I mean Dantos is very famous for his Ambesa.
Yeah and for his laning phase to be honest I mean that's always kind of in his
greatest strength. He was able to get that wave it looked like pretty far up
there but now he knows he's on a pretty risky timing and based on the
minimap it looked like impact pulled the wave so I kind of want to see the
top lane if we can eventually just to see what's happening up there.
basically triple warded because they warded mid lane here for the river and top lane in
the faylight top lane and tri brush top lane. So he's mega warding up there just to make
sure they're going to try to threaten to dive here. I don't think you want to go on who he
though. Rahel really intelligently just backed off early. And since he wasn't actually
at the tower, he does have to give up a lot of minions. That is clearly the cost. Dark
wings, Law and Health. So is APA, but Dark wings is out of mana. Rahel though down
14 CS already because he got zoned up off the tower. So though they couldn't pull off the dive doesn't matter you already got that advantage
Yeah, I
Mean
Another fly a flash as well. So scoreboard doesn't look like who he is running
Hex slash either for Al star just the real one. So that's that's that's significant right there
very very
Good pressure for C9 bottom lane very early on here and the mid lane remember is very volatile to we just saw how low
They were getting they wanted to stick around as long as possible to get a bit or buy but bot lane is where you're leaking gold
Look at all this can he can can even get all those minions there like
Feel like
Need a little bit of help down there. Yeah, it is looking very rough already on the bot side
I mean that is kind of the problem Alistar has a good compositional pick and you know has good interaction to server
But it's still Alistar versus Nico and that is a horrendous early laning
support matchup so that is going to be tough. Blaber will be spotted as he's
clearing out the Raptors here and 400 early gold lead and it's a BF by versus
tier longsword so that is tough. Rahel does have his TP so it's gonna be able to TP
back but the combat power on the C9 side is just gonna be so much higher
they want to fight anything right now. Yeah meanwhile Blaber he pulled the
Raptors into the Raptor bush here and then kind of ping pong back up
to the other side. So I like the mind game from Blaber here. He doesn't show exiting to
either side and he's actually up here for the counter.
Oh the eclairs are going to be dropped. Is it too late though?
I think so. Thanatos is really low already. They're going to push us in and going to
look potentially for Q flash Hombok. I think that was like a prediction Q or something
but now he wasted it and now Jarvan is going to be able to get here in time. Thanatos
is going to be level 6 very shortly. He just needs a minion or two. He's trying
to get the experience now and I feel like he should have just gone for that cannon
first, then he could have followed up. If he just kills one or two minions, he gets six,
Bliber hits a flag and drag, you go with the ulti, you probably kill Vi.
Yeah. Maybe he thought that the tower was going to be on a melee minion instead of the cannon,
so it would kill it on its own. Yeah. That was just such a weird little interaction up there,
too, because Sentinels and Hama going in, Gragman, tower aggro early, two tower shots.
so both of them you know warming up a little I think we're still not warm yet
we're not warm yet first game you know first game it is the fourth day but it's
the first game so well interesting could be a heck shaker rush here fourth
anecdote so paying some respect the matchup of course it is double AP
soul lanes as well but it's gonna mean you're not gonna have any real defense
against the buy you know if you do get ganks that's always a bit spooky out
there. They just trying to make the mid play to try and catch APA when he's
rotating over to it. Yeah. I think they're just hoping they would catch APA in
transition. They're a little freebie. Exactly. Try to get a freebie and then maybe you
challenge after, but since they did not, Hombok is gonna flash in, but he flashes
forward now and now you have no flash. Hombok has no way out. Vulcan's just
gonna block the Q there with his face and Hombok off to an awful start in
this game. The tentative tower dive on topside, then the flash in there. It
It was always going to be a one-way trip, but it doesn't even get close to the flight.
It was at the same time.
ABA just, well, top lane now.
Yeah, Tantos is going to be in a lot of trouble here.
The head sugar shield has already popped, so I think Tantos is maybe going to have to
flash.
We'll see his impact going to drop the equalizer.
He completely wished the equalizer.
Now I'm going to go back in with the public execution and impact off of that with Fasta
loses flash.
Didn't even get a single tick of the equalizer.
I told you they're not warm yet, bro.
cold in Brazil and also also a little sleepy still yeah actually maybe the
temperature is just right in the middle Brazil is like the North Pole of that
you know it's very chilly there it's super cold
because this was at the same time that flashing in to go for the smite seal was
at the same time as in mid lane.
Your mid laner just took a huge,
APA just got a huge trade on the dark wings
to push him fully out.
So like, you know that is a one way ticket.
You're like past the Niko, you are fully in,
you bought your ticket.
You're like, let's go to the North Pole.
He's down, let's go.
Maybe he thought it was gonna be somewhere nice, you know?
One way ticket sounds inherently negative,
but what if you're taking a one way trip
somewhere really cool?
Yeah, and you're like,
Well, I'm probably not going to want to leave there because it's so cool and nice.
On one way trip, but it's still Hawaii.
Exactly.
At an all-inclusive resort.
Okay.
That sounds pretty nice.
Okay.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, he died.
Yeah.
And got nothing.
Unfortunately, he died on the way there.
Yeah, he didn't actually even get to the destination.
He didn't even get to Hawaii.
He crashed, unfortunately, from Hawaii.
Jesus.
Well, I mean, game number one is kind of looking like a crash for Sentinels already, man. Eight and a half minutes.
All right, let's see. Can you get anything done up here?
Almost have E.K.Glyzer back. Does have a bit of a shorter cooldown.
Ombock is 6 now, so if Santos goes aggressive, you could maybe get something, but Santos is chilling.
He's just hanging out by that tower, so they're going to have to settle for starting the grubs here.
But it looks like C9 want to go mid.
It does look like that. Does APA want to flash or something?
No, he left the tippers, unless it was just for wave clear, because I'm not sure if he was just accepting that he couldn't get in range or didn't want to spend the flash, but
Drop's tipper is clear though the way it's just going to base, so I'm just assuming it wasn't even really an attempt to engage just to push out that wave.
Some extra pings for communication is all. Darkwing's scan shove out afterwards regardless, and so you got your consolation prize.
prize. Bonus minion. Done done. Let's see. An extra ring. So the melee oh. Oh he's gonna go in with
the pop off the public execution to set it up and it's looking like he is locked down and dead
in fact and over he just trying to get the wave. We'll be able to do that and now they're just
allowing him just kind of delay that death timer a little bit more. Getting a little bit funny
but then it does will eventually finish him off. I think unfortunately because he got to kill
Hell yeah, they kind of messed around with it a bit too much.
I don't know if Thanos wanted to try to delay the death even more, but kind of stopped chasing
him and Migo gets a kill.
Either way, still a good play.
And because of that delayed death, they are going to be able to push in and take plates
on topside, but meanwhile, Hombox is looking here for his bang.
He's spell shielded on the ulti though and Blaber goes back in with the cat, he's
about to find a knockup on the Rahel where Hel is down, who he is incredibly low.
He's going to fall next here to Blaber.
Hombox got nowhere to go.
This game is looking over at 10 minutes a 3k lead for cloud nine already.
That's C9 Furia up there.
Holy moly.
Like is that your nine?
Yeah.
Pure nine.
Holy moly.
Oh, guys.
Sentals are looking cut, bro.
Yeah, they are really looking.
Yeah, I think the call for sure though is delay impacts death here, you know, because
like impact already deleted the wave really quickly.
So then, if they can delay his death more, then he can use the next wave and get more gold that way.
And they're like, you know what? It doesn't actually matter.
Like, Denifos is okay getting an assist, rather than the actual kill as long as they are gonna get that.
Because, yeah, the chase on him would take a little bit of extra time.
But, regardless, nicely done by Vulcan. I was gonna talk about the original play.
Usually people go as the melee minions to be closer.
But everyone has a ranged one, and you're not paying as much attention to those, and they're a little bit further out, so good start for me.
Oh, back to live. Darkwing's goes in, hits the ember, is divide, but APA stuns him right as it happens, now Hombox gonna look for APA.
APA tries the side step, can't quite do it, gonna be hit by the piercing arrow, and knocked down there. It's a shutdown for Hombox.
They get one back, but it is a trade of mid laners.
Yeah, one for one, APA no flash, Darkwing does still have his.
This crab fight though
It's looking like they have the extra men in the area
Sven has just pushed bottom lane though
So spend spent stacking his young dolls and he got the wave all the way in on bot lane
That seems like advantage cloud nine
They get oh
Oh flash force there gonna be able to hit the roof flashes away from the chains of corruption as Rahel fires back Vulcan
Does get the summoners out. No one was really with them though. So honestly, he's lucky that Rahel flash
I think that was a amazing value for them though because he also delays Rahel getting down to the tower
So he trades flashes and ults with Rahel
Already valuable and then Sven just keep on mining turret plate money
So see nine honestly this goal lead this lead in this game is getting
Astronomical no and now Rahel might just get taken down does barely survive the Vulcan
This game that was a diabolical Mika left and the fist bump at the same time
Yeah! That was diabolical laugh.
Holy moly, Vulcan is kind of styling on Rahel.
Unleashed. Yes, he's unleashed. He's warming up.
He's warming up. It's looking toasty.
The cloud nine's side of the stage is closer to the equator than the centenal side.
It's a bit warmer on their side of the stage.
That explains it. That does explain it.
That's what it is.
We'll have to wait for the rotation of the earth.
We'll see if Sentinels can get some of that heat coming into the next game.
Maybe that's what it's always been. It's just been ball of side selection, you know?
Yeah.
Fury has been on the hot side of the stage as Darkwing's going to shift forward, has nowhere to go.
Vulcan finds another pick. Yeah, he's not the one that got the kill, but let's be honest, he's set it up.
Vulcan is out on the map, has that early rocket belt.
Thanks in part to the Goldies pick up on the top side.
800 individual gold lead normally doesn't really matter much for sports but it's
great on champions like Nico as who he can look for an engage on Sven. Flash is
away from it but they're gonna turn their eyes on so Volcan he's gonna get
locked down by the change of ruptures. Still alive for now though does get
knocked down by Rahel but Rahel has no flash he'll fall to Sven. Puhi will
survive but is it double there for Sven as C9 win out again gonna take away
the jungle camps gonna farm the plates they get everything. Sentinels
finals, they were able to take down future world finals MVP Vulcan. But, Sven got free
money here. He says auto attacking them while I'm trying to kill this Niko. And Sven had already
gotten how much free money? I think all of the money that Sven has gotten this game has
been free. Like Turplates, bunch of shoved waves on bottom side. I mean, this is going
to be a rich server. Like Sven is going to shred them.
It's like an accidental bank transfer, you know, yeah some money to pop up in your account. Where did that come from?
Okay, you get a random request you like hey you forgot to you know pay me for this trip that we took to Hawaii as they'll
You forgot my bad
Honestly, yeah, I mean spends just cruising towards an infinity edge right now
So it looks very good for cloud nine to infinity edge one way trip. See sounds good, right?
Once you got your infinity edge, you never lose it. Keep going forward. Yeah. Yep. One way trip
All right, who he's gonna look for a potential wraparound here on a pay but will be spotted out on that
Phaelites Ward just trying to cover dark wings as he pushes in
Sentinels obviously in a horrible spot, but for any chance to come back in this game
You're gonna have to have these here and in a good situation because he's been is just miles ahead and rehella is already on a much lower DPS
Champ well, he's got his Nashor's tooth now
He has
Found the tooth of Baron Nashor and turned it into a weapon. How can you get that before Baron spawns?
It's crazy. I feel like it's always built before Baron spawns. Yeah, it's kind of messed up
Nobody ever really thought about where are they getting these things ever thought about that? Yeah
I don't know maybe I'm ever hear someone refer to it as bear Nashor's to like
Good like that's what I was about to say is right there. I just never even put two together that was parents
There's just Nashor's to
Blow some people's minds right now as dark weeks gonna make an escape miraculous escape and
And Sven not gonna make a mistake, so they are gonna be able to take him down.
And Hop-Bock now looking for more Vulcan trying to run out towards that top side.
He's gonna juke them with the clone, nicely done by him, but is he up too far on the wrong side of the map now?
Last cone's over the wall. Impact has not yet moved from his lane, so Vulcan just gonna look for the execute here.
Does he have the equalizer to try to get him? Is he gonna use it?
Alright, he gives over the kill, and it's gonna be to Rael.
But at least you made impact look funny with the equalizer that's worth a fist bump
What if Nashor's tooth is not barren nash or it's like you know prince nash or something it's his family member
Dude i'm gonna be so sad i thought i thought that was really cool of the it is cool
And then if it's not but maybe barren spawns in because he's angry that you like stole a tooth from his family member
You know, holy what's kind of messed up count nash or yeah exactly
That's what a little baby nash or put his tooth under for the fairy
For a fairy godmother to come you know take your tooth and if you were just coming and stealing them and making
Yeah, just stealing all your teeth. I'm not even getting the dollar. Did you get a dollar when you?
That thing is expensive. Actually, it's not that expensive. It's got cheap as your parents do that when you're a kid
Yeah, yeah, I used to get a loony a single dollar
What the hell is that some Canadian stuff?
It's called loony. I'm just gonna trust you on that one. You can easily be making that shit up
No, that's real. Excuse me. That's my Canadian heritage. How dare you uni? Yeah, loony
We got toonies now. Yeah, now you're definitely throwing me
No way
Loony's and toonies we do
No way. Yeah, it's real
No way you're gonna let you're gonna let your economy is a loony toon scar
Toonies brother
The land of the cannons doing great
That actually does sound great. Okay, Sentinels.
Alright, they're looking for an engage here. Teleport is coming in as Vulcan jumping incredibly low.
We'll have to back off, but they will grab the dragon three in a row now for Cloud9.
The gold lane has closed a little bit. It was up to almost 6k, now down to four.
Sentinels is going to try to push mid lane.
Okay. Time to lock back in.
I've always been locked.
Yeah, true. Never unlocked.
No.
Uh, Sentimus here.
Honestly, pretty decent for them to scrape this back,
because yeah, I was thinking it was Mega Cooks here.
And you know, it's been still heading towards his one-way ticket
towards the infinity edge.
Respect Looney and Toonies, thank you.
Chad, can you verify for me?
Canadian Goat, yeah, see?
I mean, I'm not going to Google that right now,
but I'll trust Chad.
Yeah.
Chad, Chad.
I'll trust you.
Whoa!
Looney and Toonies ain't no way.
Canadians don't lie.
Well that actually might be true. They're so they're so nice. Thank you. Appreciate that most of them
All right, well
In fact gonna get the bad news here is APA gonna drop a bear on his head
It's gonna messed up who he though responding. Yeah, he's gonna punish him for dropping a bear in his red head
I never drop a bear on my friend's head ever again
Oh my god, the whole squad showed up. They really did not like that
Don't throw bears an impact. Yeah, we'll not stand for it
No bears of any kind
I'm not gonna be pushing up mid lane trying to get some gold back in response here
We'll be the Herald crashing in so mid lane tier two looking like it's gonna go down
But Humbuck is behind them and still has his ulti, he's been giving him trouble.
Spell Shield is used very early there and he's gonna be knocked down by impact.
After his one-way ticket to Infinity Edge, he bought another ticket somewhere else.
Back to the fountain.
Should have never bought a second ticket.
Haha, you should have stayed there.
Yeah.
Instinct on the first ticket was a good one.
Yeah.
He got his Infinity Edge and we're like, oh man, he's gonna start shredding now.
Look at these crits.
Yep.
Well, can't crit towers.
That's all he's been hitting.
He did kill the tower so he stayed around killed the tower sometimes the dying tower can be a bait
Actually
Oh
The tower has been a bait for a sudden that is true. Yeah, there's this period. He had that one in mid lane
Yeah, the close to game. Oh it's a tempting tower. So
Teams take note playing in squad nine and then you got a low health tower
Don't kill spin at that. Yeah, he's gonna he's gonna go
No, try to take that.
And our tower is up.
Yeah, try to take it all the way up.
Try to take it all the way up.
Hey, buddy.
No one's bot lane.
This tower, the funny thing is, that bait shouldn't work anymore because killing off the end
of a tower is not all the gold anymore because there's so much gold in the turret plates.
So the rest of the tower, the last of the tower, works on cannon minions.
It's going to work on the last tower plate.
Alright, when's our next Nico trick? How about that? He almost got Darkwing's topside. He's been uh, he's been going for it
He's what do you think about this Santos build the endless hunger ma
Whoa, no shoji no eclipse
So if you have a big ma that that's you know, like a mouth and then endless hunger so it's the matter
It's a thematic. Do you think he has a natural stuth in that ma? No, no
That would be crazy
ridiculous actually being ridiculous right now I'm sorry sometimes I get a
little bit out of control because you're Canadian appreciate that you were you're
brought up on Looney Tunes yeah was loonies and toonies buddy get it right
also looney too yeah of course okay so
What were we talking about?
You're talking about Miko tricks
And the moth of the endless hunger of of Thanatos's moth. I believe that's where we where we left off
Yeah, true synergy there. Yeah, I
Mean we
Honestly, I still think the same thing. I thought like eight minutes ago
But what was that that cloud nice is gonna steamroll this game
But we are getting the dragon soul in 30 seconds and if they make a plan then it's us early
They take it
But to where
Coming in looking for the counter game
It's gonna connect on impact he is one shot Vulcan is low
We're hell can't finish him off with a piercing arrow though as Vulcan flashes away and Sven goes on the hunt
That is a fast bear chasing after him blabber gonna get caught on this
Oh jeez!
Flabber drops the cataclysm, but he tries to flash out and is knocked down.
So even though they win the fight on the top side, there's no jungler!
They got no jungler!
Oh my god!
He's just walking down from mid lane and runs into the members of Sentinels that were
scrambling to get away and now they get another pick!
Sven is warded out, they go in.
Rahel is not ready to follow up on that though, but this should be Sentinels Dragon.
Yeah, it's definitely Sentinels Dragon. They put their flag down over here.
Sentinels territory, that was Flabbers flagged.
Flabber, yeah, they stole Flabbers flag.
Yeah, it's dead corpse.
Whoa!
He's gonna come back.
Yeah, true.
His corpse will be alive soon.
It's still dead right now though.
Great, great speed for a little longer.
Okay, so Sentinels they show everybody like diving making this play,
or at least four members diving making this play.
Flabber right now in the mini-map,
He's going to deal with that middle minion wave as they drop another bear on the impact set, by the way, a successfully dropped bear.
But then look at this, he goes through the mid lane and he walks through Darkwing's and Hanbok was coming up, trying to get away from the previous failed play on bottom side and he walks right into the waiting fist.
It was the precursor, you know, the revenge of the bear didn't happen as quickly this time, but as soon as they dropped the bear on impact set, Flabber was doomed.
Yeah. Oh, jeez. That was the domino. Yeah, it was the domino.
Oh, wow. Yeah, exactly, yeah.
Dropping a bear on impact bot lane.
Well, I'm just telling you, I can't get Ocean Soul.
Oh, my God. Yeah.
How far does that domino chain go? Yeah, they didn't get Ocean Soul,
and then, you know, Sentinels come back in this game,
and then... Sentinels gonna win Worlds now?
Impact ends up getting...
Did APA just cost Vulcan his World Finals MVP with that tipper's drop?
Is that the final domino?
That's crazy.
Our breaking.
I don't know.
My site doesn't go that far in the future.
It goes pretty far, but it's only like six months.
All right, well, let's find out if Hombok
is going to spot Thanatos.
He's running for the hills, but he's
going to be spotted now by N-FAC.
You need the public executioner trying
to tie back to his team.
We'll consider cover.
That last play just makes me think about, like,
where they weren't tracking mini-map closely
and they're like, because the escape path, path 4.5,
was straight up.
So definitely, sometimes it's happening.
It's gonna be ADPC for post-game.
Yeah, let's do it.
We can find out.
We've got a date.
ADPC investigation.
You and me or you and the computer?
You and me.
Okay, yeah.
With the computer.
Sorry.
I don't know if Joanne is going to prove it.
I talked to Joanne, I got her blessing.
Okay, so we'll see if he's all good.
Nice buffer on the flag and drag there.
Immune Tombox ultimate, or at least a CC,
but in fact has TP'd in.
Rahel looking on the side will be spotted by the ward.
Cloud9 going to be able to disengage.
I'm getting a little tense for these setups here
with them getting a little risky on this vision setup.
I mean, there's still finally more money into the Azir,
so back on game plan here, four Sentinels,
it keeps looking better and better
for the comeback angle here.
Yeah, I mean, it was 4K at what,
10 or 12 minutes or something like that?
Yeah, it was crazy.
So, and now it's 26 minutes and it's still 4K,
so they do have a real chance at this point.
Of course, they are still behind
and Sven is a real problem.
He is on three items, three big ones
with the LVR now completed,
Plus, he already had the IE.
Vulcan looking for the Pomp Boss, and will force the Flash from Honbok.
Not gonna be able to catch him, but that's a Flash off of APA as well.
That's how I was gonna say.
Pretty big escape there. Good reactions from Sentinels to be able to escape that,
and no Flash on the Annie hair greatly reduces that pick potential.
I will say, Vulcan no point.
Oh, and a look, Bill. It's not gonna reduce it enough.
Who he gets one shot? Darkwing goes into the stasis, but the Emperor is defied.
will not save him, and now Honbok flashless, that's a GA, but it doesn't matter, it's going to be Cloud9 on the Baron here, and no chance of a contest.
Alright, back on track 4C9, Sentinel, now you go into the damage control scenario, we're like, alright, they're going to get Baron for sure now after that, let's just try and get gold anywhere else on the map.
Push out mid, push out bottom a little bit.
Yeah, we'll see what they can get.
Honbok, maybe you're gonna try to lay a little bit of a trap here.
Was waiting around in the Raptors bit.
But then it was already pushing on topside with that barricade.
Don't get him though, so, I bet for a lot.
Exactly.
Yep, get out.
Go next, go next fast.
Alright, who he had, this is, is this the, you know, this is the second one.
Yeah, so we're like, oh man, APA with no flash on Andy.
That greatly reduces the engage potential.
No, it does not.
You just stand on a control ward in the brush and he drops a bear on him.
They just didn't have a vision around the baron pit.
I think they just got really nervous that maybe something was happening.
They did have a control ward eventually went over the wall.
So I don't know if that was before or after that play, but either way,
Sol is going to be spawning here in 20 seconds.
Hot9 have the baron buff right now and they have a 5.6k gold lead.
So we'll see if they are going to be able to close things out with this humbuck,
getting a bit of a chunk down onto Thanatos.
But Thanatos looking like he just wants to kite back.
All of Centenal's though chasing after him.
They're going to continue going.
He goes back with public execution, but where the hell has arrived now?
And Darkwing's in trouble on the side. He gets hit down incredibly low by Blyber and Sven.
Darkwing's going to fall to the flag there as Jarvan takes him out.
Vulcan down about half HP on the side. It is a trade, but Darkwing's trying to reinforce, just gets knocked out.
Yeah, both junglers with their Guardian Angels, so they just try and full send, chasing down a member each.
It is one for one, so still definitely fightable here. Vulcan though has ult and flash. Be careful.
Both in fact trying to set up on the side here as the equalizer ready cloud nine just focusing down the dragon
Who he moving forward trying to get some vision here for the team to pop awesome comes through it just connects on two members
But the route is there to follow the equalizer trying to sell them off
But it doesn't matter Rahel is knocked down home box set running
Impact has to get out of there
But can't do anything as cloud nine now has the ocean soul and they're gonna chase for a long time impact
forced to flash as Cloud9 pushing both bot and mid.
All right, with Baron and Ocean Soul here,
definitely should be able to solidify this game.
I mean, that would go a little bit dicey,
but Volcan just goes, as long as I go ult,
I'm gonna push them out.
We will at least get the Dragon Soul,
if not end up trading support lives there as well.
And the rest of C9 can kill Hu'hee at the exact same time.
So good job there by Cloud9,
kind of making sure that they get the objective and now with the extra
sustain from Ocean Soul right back out to the push.
Sven completed another full item now, has the quick blade and he also has an
elixir of wrath in his inventory so ready for what he believes is probably
gonna be the final fight here, the final push. He's pushing up mid lane cover
right now by Vulcan as Thanatos and APA are trying to get this wave moving
in the right direction. Cloud9 definitely feels like they're on the
precipice of victory in this one as Darkwingz is just trying to push bot and get some waves
moving in their direction.
Oh yeah, they've got two waves moving in Cloud9's direction, so looks like they're gonna go further.
Yeah, they're gonna pop on the hunt and Impact has no flash remember, in comes Jarvan and
down goes Impact eventually, he's in the stasis to buy a little bit of time on the other
side, Vulcan is gonna get picked off so it is a one for one.
The change of corruption does connect onto APA, Rahel has to flash, Blaber will
not stop chasing neither will Sven the ocean's all keeping him topped off flag
drag goes right back in as who he is forced to flash out then it doesn't
APA will knock down this inhibitor tower dark wings taking a tier two down in
bilingualing does claim a bounty but eventually he's gonna have to get back
to base yeah I mean they're starting to channel recalls on both sides that
cloud nine should at least finish up this inhibitor before they go dark
wings cancel it is again so he says you stay around for the inhibitor I'll
I'll stay around for some extra turn of play money at the very least.
Is empowered recall at least for APA up his mid lane quite well.
Listen to the DTP, they're gonna try to catch him.
Darkwing doesn't have the empowered recall, looks like it wasn't ready,
so Humbuck gonna try to escort him out here.
But Thanatos is behind it, he's the Ocean Soul,
it's gonna be difficult to knock him down, he also has the TP shield,
now the TP comes in from Ra'el to try to reinforce,
public execution in on the Darkwings.
Darkwings, UCM person behind to knock him back,
but Thanatos just flashes right over the top.
A second TP now gonna be coming in, this one's gonna be impact,
And C9 are going to look to try to turn on them, but all five Sentals members are here.
Blaber is still running over.
Impact goes straight into the spaces.
Fendt isn't here just yet.
They're trying to buy time for the Sivir.
Blaber going for it.
Going to get hit there by Humbach when Nice Knockup comes in.
And the Jade's Accruption going to be dodged.
The equalizer does nothing at all.
Humbach still trying to run for it here.
But Cloud9 are relentless.
In goes Blaber onto the back line.
Rahel has nowhere to go.
Impact tried to turn his fight against APA, but he can't knock him down.
The GA is going to be caught there on the Blaber.
focus with a four man pop blossom and surely that is going to be the end of
game number one.
Sentinels will fall as a triple already for Sven.
He's chasing in and wants even more.
Sven grabs the Quadra.
Cloud nine will grab the game one win.
Oh yeah.
I mean they got such an early lead.
Sentinels ended up making them work more for it.
But in the end C nine still are able to dominate in game number one.
Nicely done cloud nine crushing this one start to finish. I'm gonna be able to knock down sentinels
Start off the lower bracket finals with the bang
Cloud nine now are on a four game win streak versus sentinels specifically through
Not versus a lot of others two game win streak in this tournament. Yeah, there you go. Let's go. That's a street
Oh, yeah, we want to see which
It was the, was it the third dragon?
It was going to be the fourth dragon for Cloud9.
The one that got stolen away where
Blaber got caught walking over after Cloud9
got the kill on impact down and bot side.
So we're going to find that.
And we will see if it was a vision game
or kind of what went wrong there for Blaber to get caught.
Because really that was one of the only hiccups
in the whole game it felt like for Cloud9.
Let's see.
That was the Baron.
So Kobe's doing some investigative journalism over there as we're going to find this spot.
And this might be a little too late.
OK.
All right, here we go.
So Kobe's this is the this is the most recent one.
We can watch this one.
This one was fun.
Oh, this is the most recent fight.
Well, this is the this is the big Baron one where Vulcan is able to push them out.
OK. This is this is after.
was traded for Darkwings, who he's trying to make an in route here an in-road for
Honbok to get in as well and steal it but Vulcan good ultimate pushes them out and you know, that's gonna
That this is basically the game-ender. You know, even though there's a good
Another several minutes. That was basically the game-ender. Let's see the other
Dragon icons though. I think the
Here we go. I found it. I found it. There we go because he's dead. Let's go investigate
I found it. He's dead because blabber was dead. Here we go. Okay, so from blabber vision
Let's follow cloud nine comms. Yeah, I think the comms are right now. Why they're doing their dive on the bottom side
I think keeping keeping going back going back. Yeah, yeah
So they successfully win and they see look at these sentinels members are escaping. Look, we just saw Vigo right here
Yeah, and so blabber thinking I'm gonna walk past this is here. He's auto in me for a while
And then what the heck? How did I get there? Yeah, I guess I guess they just weren't tracking it closely enough
He I'm sure he was watching his fight with his ear and probably assumed that they ran with the rest of the team up
Yeah, and the rest of C9 probably like it's winning we win we win, you know because they just beat them all here in this thing
So yeah, but the rest of the team did say hey or did see we saw by Q this direction
So yeah, and then you know they go back in for for the other interrupts here
Yeah, most of us do that they were up with the rest of the team, but Cloud9 really good game overall
Vulcan to me was was the MVP. Yeah, I think I think he was killing it
This is just a taste of the glory. He's gonna get later. He'll still get that a world finals MVP, you know
So he's on that but that is gonna be it for game number one Cloud9 taking early lead here
Two more to go if they want to rematch against Iphuria. We've got some C9 comms though to listen in on
Flash, I'm going to get space. I'm going to get space.
I got a lot of dead and no bars back here.
I'm going to bot guys.
I'm going to get here.
I can beat you.
I'm going to get two bar.
I reach bar here.
No flash, no flash, no flash!
I hear you, I hear you!
Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow!
I'm taking no flash, no flash!
Hey, my printer killed.
Two seconds, two seconds!
That was close, that was good.
Hey, my printer!
Sorry, my printer killed.
Precision flash printer?
Yep.
That was actually a flash printer.
I like how he just slips in the precies in that scene.
Their pumps are actually really good vibes.
Yeah, yeah, they're definitely...
I mean, they're singing, they're singing, cracking jokes.
Look at his gold graph, that's also good Cloud9 vibes.
A Vulcan damage.
Yeah, that's why he is the goat.
My player of the game, the show.
He almost did more damage than, I mean,
way more than he's here, but almost did more damage
than APA as well.
Yeah, that is kind of crazy.
He was smurfing from very early on.
He almost did as much damage as the rumble
in the melee versus melee matchup.
That is actually wild.
He smacked him. MVP.
Yeah, well, good news for Sentinels.
Can't play an equal again.
That's gone.
I think, too, if you're talking about the entire tournament,
even though it has been really rough for Cloud9,
Vulcan has had a lot of good individual games.
So he's looking the most warmed up.
You're wiping the stink off him.
I'm not cleaning anybody up.
You're not wiping anybody up.
I'm not cleaning anybody up.
Keeping my hands far away.
You're leaving them sticky.
What?
All right, we're going to break over it back.
I'll be in the video.
It's not?
Hmm...
Is it some kind of lux?
No?
Uhhh...
Ash?
Shepor?
Seraphine?
I have no idea what that is.
Hmm...
Reveal it a little bit more.
a little bit more
bro
it's Sona
it's Sona?
I don't remember
I don't remember it's Sona I guess
oh Sona
yeah
I've never seen this game
it's Sona
but I'm not going to know the name of this game
it's new
It's new, isn't it? Or is it only in Vitoriousa? Only in something.
I don't know the name of these skins, because it's new. I don't know anything about new names, but it's just right.
Ok, so I got it right.
I live in the channel
What is this?
Is it a foot?
It looks like a foot
I don't know, a fjord
Ah, it's too close, it's too bad
Silas?
It can't be Silas, that
Who is this guy in the chain? I don't know, I don't play it
Morgana?
Morgana, I don't know the name, but it's one of the new skins.
Do you hate it?
I don't like it.
I only know she's a woman, by the way.
No, no, no, I give up.
It's impossible to be Morgana.
Okay.
It's there, Morgana, Redentor, Veilada, Prestigio.
Justice!
I thought it was bad choices, but that's what it is.
I got one, I got the other, it's fine.
Yeah, back to business as usual. There you go plan against the North American team
Machine yeah
Two weeks ago. That's honestly. That's what a lot of cloud nine fans. We're just dreaming about that
Can we just turn back the dial here?
Time machine give us a redo on that match. Yeah back to when we were first place in the LCS
Dominating everybody only had dropped one game and they yeah
I mean, they got to such a big early lead in this in the opening game that
You know, I was like wow
Their chances to win are probably like 90 something, you know a 95 98 percent or something to take it here
Sentinels ended up
Making them work for it a bit and and finding some angles and getting some some gold back for themselves
But cloud nine right back on strap able to able to close it there with
Yeah, with the dragon soul and the Baron take would you say with their early game they put themselves a one-way ticket to the victory screen
They did they did only one way only one way only for game one though game two is a whole another
Destination you got a book another check a new ticket. Yeah, the previous ticket is not valid
So your money doesn't carry carry over so you start broke. Yeah, and it's priced out in USD
So it's expensive and not like Looney Tune money
What's the whole your horses?
Our Toonies will never fail, beautiful metal coins, you know, like your puny paper bills.
I'm still surprised that they're real, but they are so I'm going to have to respect it.
Honestly too, Cloud9, respecting, still respecting the young A from Darkwing, so yeah, there are a lot of mid lane bands.
They're completely chopping down the mid lane pool here and they grab the pantheon here premiere jungle
Let's go point click CC easy pairings actually kind of crazy it so I mean you're already in game two of fearless
But Nico at what is a flex for a PA that's gone
So if you want to count that three champions for him were gone from game one three more bands and then they double-banned mid lane as
Well, so you're already on your ninth best champion in mid lane essentially in game two
Are you one of the ones that loves to run like Nautilus lanes into Ash Seraphine to try and kill the Seraphine a bunch?
Or are you trying to you know do like Ezreal karma poke stuff?
If you're talking about me personally, I would rather play already gage. Yeah, the Nautilus and you like you have a Pantheon already
Yeah, looks like I'm not out of the poke option though
of those two options into the Ash Seraphine
Yeah, and
Well, I mean that that one could be as effective also, but yeah, I mean I kind of like the I like the Nautilus versions
I think we're just gonna go for pills too, right?
I feel like Zin pairs so well. Yeah, any sort of, you know, once you have at Seraphine,
you want to build any sort of fighters here in front line, Zin does go really really well with it.
The ultimate as well, like you can get into great positions to bounce the Seraphine oil off your head
because you have your own ult to protect you too.
Oh, I wonder if they're just gonna do a Victor here and then double band mid lane again.
And just their strategy is basically take all APA champions out of the pool.
Because otherwise I feel like you should have just gone Zen, because I assume now Cloud9 are going to be in Zen.
Because I feel like that's the obvious pairing with the Ash Seraphim bot lane.
And yeah, it's going to be interesting to see if that is the focus here.
Because we're already starting to get into kind of like the weird tier of mid lane champions.
Aurora obviously...
He did play.
Yeah, exactly. It is mid lane. Obviously it could be top as well.
Fnaticus played it more, but specifically Fnaticus generally plays it into a rumble.
Renekton as well, so maybe Impact wants to go Renekton or something.
It's a projection ban up there.
But I am expecting Xen. I'll be surprised that that goes through,
but we'll see if Sentinels is going to have their jungle pool trimmed a bit.
So yeah, there's the Xen ban I was thinking of.
Yeah, I mean, APA, he...
I feel like he really does thrive on mid lane champions that can play for jungle.
So there are like, he could still pull out like a Galio or something like that too,
and still like kind of play for jungle that way.
I gotta say it's because they're clearly Sentinel's prep is no, no champs.
But it is funny to say no champs and then you're five.
5.
Yeah, yeah.
Get this one trick.
Get that one trick.
All right.
How many bands are we going to spend on the one trick?
Five.
Yeah.
And Kladnit also banned two mid lenders themselves as well.
Yeah.
No, APA doesn't play Yone.
All right.
Well, let's see where they want to go.
Skarner was very successful for Tatsu when he brought it out, but I don't know if
you want to play Skarner into Ezreal Karma that doesn't feel the greatest to me.
You know, maybe you're expecting more of these kind of like shorter range champs
I feel like Sarenor really succeeds when it's a very short range comp and a lot of melee chance
It's gonna clump up like against divers and stuff. I feel like Sarenor maybe is gonna trouble more here
I think their idea is we're just gonna ult whoever their frontline is if Pantheon's up here
All right, I'm grabbing him and you're just gonna get pulled into this ass Serafine grind grind machine
And as long as we keep somebody in place in front of us in that machine
No, you don't because it's like a Hex taken powered machine since they have Victor to see
That the the hex chaos storm popping off over your head
There you go
So renec is gonna be grabbed here
What is brother gonna be cooking me could just go play or something like control mage versus control mage if you want
There's obviously, you know different options a soul would be kind of fun
We haven't seen him playing a soul in quite a while. I will say
As a bit of an Aesol enjoyer, Victor can be quite annoying because every time you channel your Q, you just get lasered, right?
And it's a little bit difficult there. The Victor R also cancels your flight.
So gang escapes are actually quite difficult if people are coming in.
So this is going to be more of a farm matchup here for APA. Obviously, it scales incredibly well.
You can play side lanes, gnar, not a surprise at all.
That's kind of the obvious pick, I think, from impact here into the Renekton.
But yeah, the easel is interesting.
I'm kind of curious if it's going to get punished.
All right, APA bringing out the easel here
with so many mid lane bands.
I mean, yeah, you farm a lot.
You want to play around your old timers,
and especially the empowered old timers,
because then you actually are capable
of winning one of these team fights.
You know, drop a big meteor on their head.
You've got all these immobile carries.
Yes, it's like a very beefy five on five
with Seraphine backing up
with a lot of heals and shields, but Ash, Seraphine, and Victor all have one thing in common.
They don't have their own dashes, so.
They don't look getting hit by meteors.
Yeah.
They all have that in common.
They do not like getting hit by meteors.
The visuals, just imagine the visuals of this C19 is hilarious, you know, because APEA
is playing Aesol, and it's like this celestial being as big as galaxies that just dropping
a universe on your head, and then you have the pantheon, there's just some dude
flying through the sky.
There's some dude, isn't he like the aspect of war?
I don't know.
He's like a very cool and important dude.
He's just a guy without a shirt.
He wouldn't even be able to get served at a McDonald's.
No shirt, no suit.
The embodiment of all war and aggression and fighting.
Listen, buddy, this is a Wendy's.
No shirt, no shoes, no service, Pantheon.
This time, and depending on what skinny uses,
it could just be like an apron, you know?
I think that he's got that hot dog cooking.
Well, then he doesn't need to go to the one, just because he can serve himself.
Yeah, there you go.
Baker Pantheon.
There you go.
That's a nice bread coat up there.
Yeah.
I'd go for a nice fresh baguette.
Honestly, I'm a little hungry.
I'm a little peckish at the moment as well.
Yeah, we'd go for a snack.
All right, well, we'll see if they're going to be able to extend the lead here.
A-Soul, a bit of a throwback.
I mean, it's not something that people talk about for an APA, but it is one
of the champions we first came in that he was most known for, I think, for really
being in the top of the list.
old version and the new version yep so he he was like he used the old version to climb the ladder
really early on in his career and then he also obviously adopted the new version but he's playing
against the old version's goat who he pre lane swap so who he's gonna know all right there's
really really a really in soul you know roam possibilities exactly remember what was it the
level on Rome was that gets rocks tigers or who was that against it was against rocks
tigers I remember I was getting so freaking excited oh my god that's a crazy
thing he killed gorilla with that with the like the first one yeah he did like a
level one and level three we're going way back in time Roman underrated
mid-layer hootie yeah hootie I think he really was he was he was kind of before
his time he was kind of that nisky archetype almost you know who's his
his own archetype. Thank you very much. Who is his own mid laner? I also remember people
made fun of his Azir a lot, but he got effective still. But his A-Soul was nasty. Alright, well
I think that's the allowed mode by the way. That's then just flashed a belief that's
allowed. Nice. That's a shout out to Loud who is not here because they beat the teams
are here. They don't have to be here. Much like Lyon, they will still be in Brazil, but
they will... They don't have to dirty their hands with this. No, they can send their minions.
They're minions. They're representatives. Exactly. Cloud9 and Sentinels showing up,
they're the hooligans coming to attack and they're like, Furia, deal with them. Yeah,
exactly. You gotta go through them before you get the right to challenge us. And
And unfortunately in this case, even if we go through them, you don't get the right chance to tell them because you already didn't get the first stand by them.
Maybe you can have opportunity to practice against them, because the winner of first stand does get the Riot all expense paid bootcamp.
The bootcamp for MSI, so they'll be going to Korea. Really, that should be the motivation to KPGQ.
There you go.
From the source itself, you know?
There you go.
It is funny though. I've heard from a number of Korean bros that they actually like Korean food more in LA than in Korea, which is kind of funny.
I have heard that, too. Me quality.
Me quality, and then also they're just more unhealthy. The food is more unhealthy. So apparently it's just like, it just tastes better.
Yeah, exactly. They just add more. Yeah, shove three pounds of butter on that piece of meat. Yeah, I don't think it tastes good.
That's true. More salt, more butter.
Yeah, exactly. Delicious.
Alright, well, APA so far,
Farming it up
and doing alright.
I do think, especially like I said,
you are going to keep taking lasers.
APA took an early TP back. Darkwings is still
up farm and has not TP'd.
Especially once you get the E Upgrade on Victor
it gets really annoying because anytime you stop
the channel, you're eating the laser
and then you have to cancel your Q.
So it is a little bit difficult,
It is still at the end of the day, control mage match up, so you shouldn't have to give up too much.
Yeah, meanwhile on the top side, Nars always such a good answer into Renekton, but Thanatos Renekton hits different.
Yep.
Humbok up here is going to get seen by Thanatos' award, so not a huge moment of danger for him and him.
He's not going to move up on that Neganar timing or anything at all.
Nice, Heather lands onto Rahel there as Vulcan was going aggressive.
They have traded that heal out the heal on the other side from who he was used quite a while ago
But now a Vulcan gonna be down his heel as C9
Creating some early advantages in the side lanes once again
And this is why we're talking about the two options when you see I seraphine
You either go the poke route or you go like the kill route with hook champ like Nautilus
This this we're seeing on screen why a lot of people do like the poke route because you can do this
It's a lot safer the the like Nautilus or a hook or a kill route
requires coordination with your jungler, it requires going on the correct
timings here and not taking too much damage yourself from poke in that
scenarios and so it does have like more inherent risks.
This is an APA build by the way.
Big Belt, okay Rylai's is really good on Aurelion's soul so.
Clearly he's thinking this matchup is not very fun, I'm not sure if he's trying to spell it.
Yeah, he's thinking I'm just gonna farm and have more HP to trade. Yeah. Wow. I channel my Q
Yeah, I mean it's good. You just need to get stacks. It's
It's kind of funny that I don't know if I've ever
Can remember like a giant spell rush on a mage like this
I'm sure we've seen it in mid lane and like Cho gas or whatever, but it's really very atypical
It's also kind of funny. I don't know if you saw the
Clive 9 podcast they were talking about
it was an episode with with then I believe and
and then it doesn't matter. You just just run back, you know problem and then they have those was talking specifically about our versus renekton and he was saying for a net for the renekton side, you know, it's it's like basically about getting
about getting ahead, but for the Northside, if you miss three minions, he's like it's actually GG. If you miss three minions, you've lost the game.
Well, I miss a lot. That's what I was going to say. Exactly. He said, if you can't, if you can't get Tabby's first, first base, because you miss minions, then it's, it's GG.
So we'll see now if Thanatos is going to be able to create an advantage.
It's called a GG then. It's called a GG right now.
Yeah. He said no Tabby's first base. GG.
I mean, he also got the proxy.
So he got his base off with a really good buy for Thanatos.
Bottom side, though, Gank.
Yeah, Hombok coming in with East shawls impact.
Sven is not going to get sent into the wall,
but Vulcan is going to have to flash very close.
East shawls impact just expired before Sven
got crashed into the wall.
And Hombok decides to not even use the impale.
So he's going to hold on to it.
You want to go for first round of Ganks here?
Just blow the flash first.
Then now you can reduce a lot of the threat,
a lot of the aggressive positioning from Sven and Vulcan maybe with no flash on Karma you're
way more vulnerable and you really have to respect like return ganks from Skarner and
when Ashe and Seraphine both at level 6, you're, you're, you gotta dodge a lot, okay?
You have to have very, very safe positioning now as the Karma.
No flash versus that amount of CC in your lane could get very dangerous.
Yeah, you can try to have Sven tank the arrow and then cleanse it but, but even
That's what I'm saying.
Exactly.
And if you're lining up for that, then that could be problematic.
APA is still trying his best here, is down about 10 CS now, as this matchup is going to
get kind of less and less fun to be honest.
As the lasers just ramping up, and APA just doing his best with this very, very defensive
build, just trying to keep his health high, and just constantly push out the wave, look
for resets, but Darkwings is going to continue to try to build these advantages.
I mean, it's just this is the this is the problem with a soul in so many a soul matchups as I started playing this champion is that it's like
There and inherently you have to stand still to do anything as the arrow is gonna miss and so many mid lane champs just punish that
Yeah, and Victor scales and stacks nicely himself. So
We'll see how quick how quick he gets his upgrades in dodge skill shots while you're standing still channeling
The A-Soul problem.
Not moving does make it a little bit more difficult to dodge stuff.
Yeah. At least you don't have to play against Syndra.
Because that I played that matchup, that was a nightmare.
Every time you try to channel, you just get scattered.
Like, well, I guess I'm facing now as he's going to drop an ulti on Darkwing's head.
Plus five, Cosmic Dust. Every time you hit an ulti on a champion.
So there you go. Plus five. Huge.
Dropped it on his head. Plus. Now.
Actually have it's a little bit. I'm a squint. Is that 59 69? I think it's 59. I can't read it. It's small
59
Yeah, up your
prescription here on your glasses for it to buddy. You even had to scoot up
I'm cheating for being intelligent closing the distance to the thing. I'm trying to read while you're just flaming my eyes
The distance is not equal. You know, I mean, yeah, that was a you problem. That's a user error
Oh, then it's those taking some power shots.
That looks like maybe a bit of a user error as dominant as...
I don't know if it's going to save them here, but the Magnar's already been using nice slice to dash both the wall up and the...
The Glacier with the little Pengu inside of it.
Yeah, it's kind of weird that he's throwing a penguin at you.
Yeah, in case...in a giant...
Let's go back this. I just missed a three-pointer and then you took a layup and you're like, nice shot, buddy.
You know? It's not the same thing.
Well, I mean...
You moved closer.
You're not going to shoot threes.
Why are you out there, bro?
Move up.
I'm trying to be like Curry.
I mean, honestly, too, you got to like,
you're ending for the future, right?
You're trying to improve.
You're trying to work on your eyesight.
Work on it.
It's going to get better, right?
It is, yeah.
The more like, long range things you try to do.
My eyesight is scaling.
Yeah, you're sure.
You're working on those bad boys.
I think by the time I'm 70, we got perm vision.
This is going to be 2020.
Get him in there.
He's been counting the blades of grass on someone's rift.
He's never going to miss a Niko play.
I don't even need to take a one-way trip to Hawaii,
because those people see Hawaii from LA.
Holy!
This is like you're there, then, huh?
You can feel the breeze even.
Hear the ocean, too.
I guess I work on your hearing after your eyes are complete.
Right.
If we get the full package.
One of your senses is super strong,
and the rest is left behind.
That's just going to feel weird, dude.
Yeah.
All right, these are good points.
Same things I had a lot of help.
Yeah, true.
The viewers at home, I'm sure haven't thought about them either.
They're also appreciating the discussion.
Yeah, chat is mind blown after mind blown moments
so far this series.
Good, for sure.
APA, does he have the Rylai's?
He went back to base?
Nope, so just grabbing the refillable
coming right back out.
Not working on it buddy, all right.
Just like my eyesight, he's scaling.
Coming together.
Yeah, coming together.
He's stacking, 75 stacks now.
I ripped that one off.
No!
I didn't like that.
That was true.
That's the one where you were about to take your shot, you squared up, took a deep breath.
Form was good.
Eyeballs wide.
Good little expansion.
Next time, I'm going to play D in front of you.
I'm going to play defense.
You're waving your arms around.
Oh, he's still in the back into the wall.
There's the impale.
The CC chain is never right, and that's the first blood for Darkwing's.
And Sven is going to have to shift away.
The ulti comes down from Aster, Charm across multiple members, though from the on-score,
Sven is gonna fall, Vulcan's gonna flash, Sentinel's coming alive in this series.
Yeah, they just destroy them in this skirmish. I mean, everything looks beautiful right there.
You get the Seraphine bouncing off of two, hitting both of them, they get extra summoner spells,
they get extra kills, Dragon number two, Sentinel's.
And I always love Seraphine comps, because you're so powerful in the mid-game.
The one thing for cloud nine is Thanatos and that was able to clutch it for them when he was on the Zahen I
Don't know if he's gonna be able to do so much as a renecdon into this comp
But starts out in the river pump up really good job
Chase his plumber down push him into the wall get your ultimate chain right there
They followed up they push that out Rahel flashes who he can follow up with the flash
He hits his ult first on the two chasing the other way then flashes to help Ra'hel get the extra kill
Just sentinels completely warmed up here in game number two
Very very nice clap back here. They're side of the stage is nice and toast, you know. Yeah
It's good. All right. We're in for a series now
Yeah, still still pretty even. I mean, it's just a couple hundred gold
So not a big deal by any means but a really nice fight there for sentinels and and you talked about it in draft
You know you can just use the scarner just ult anyone and focus them down and that's clearly what they were looking for there
Had a really nice CC chain on the bliver. This just feels like mertrex are a must who you don't know flash
You are gone. They're able to give it to Zven. Yeah
Nice long-range combo long-range combo. He just finishes training for us as well
So Zven is spiking he is peeking bottom lane can get turret plate money to
With who he did I mean that Seraphine still is quite squishy and no flash
So good pick off there and that means they're gonna get way more money off bottom lane now
How does like Reheals trying to find a way in at the moment?
but
If you still trying to find a way to farm yeah, I mean it's the master just doesn't get better
As I discovered when I played this one time in the Victor
I think I counterpicked myself to which made it better
Especially for my teammates who they enjoyed that and home box gonna look for another play here
The cleanse came out a bit early from Sven you're gonna not get the as pale
But Flammer does get impaled.
Yankor comes through.
He's gonna charm us then.
He's incredibly down.
And he's knocked down.
Flammer gonna fall as well, surely.
It's a double for Reheal.
The CC chain is massive.
And Spantos gonna get Nard into the wall,
but Impact doesn't feel he has the damage to finish him,
so we'll just back it off.
I love Ash Seraphine, man.
I just, I love this lane so much.
I think, especially for junglers,
everyone's, you should always
want to go fight around this lane.
Look at the power of these ults.
Who he has been bouncing him off multiple people was able to attack Sven with that one too so they get the extra and Ash air on Seraphine ult in addition to being quite a capable 2 on 2 lane also just a dream scenario for your jungler to fight around so
Humbot here goes down there and is like yeah okay you stun him but he flashes, gets the
chain on the vent, no one can shift on the vent so now he is unable to dodge the
Serebino, barely got him there. Ra'el actually gets the arrow execution for the kill there
and so they get the money onto the ash too. I mean and Sven wasted his clums, he
tried to cleanse the easel's impact but we're just getting driven into the wall,
you can't cleanse that as far as I know and then he didn't have clums for the
on core so gets tagged by that but I read a really nice Aegis assault into the e on pantheon block so
much the damage because he had that time during the impale but it did not matter and the on core tags
then and he has no cleanse so he ends up dying and caught on line miss execute in that fight and
now are down two dragons and a thousand gold with pretty struggling mid lane here they're just
going to keep this match up APA is just not going to be fun here for him he is level 11 but
But he's down 1.2k gold. Darkwing's just going to harass him every time he's trying to farm. APA is really struggling.
He certainly is, as he said, not really going to get better. So Sentinels
start up Rift here out here. I mean,
Impact's also going to get the wave pushed on top side.
Danto's going to leaning over early here to at least get vision for them.
Grand Starfall coming in Darklings will just flash back to safety and now turning the damage around on the APA
He is very low from the arcane storm won't be able to finish him off, but they do get the summoner
They do get the summoner no flash on the Victor
Maybe a repeat play side lanes can get dangerous if you get these towers down
But so far the towers very healthy for sentinels because their lanes have been
I've been doing fairly decently. I guess the topside one, you know
but then it does actually did a lot of work on up there.
And maybe they can open up that as a long lane.
Again, then it does the renecdent lane
is kind of the dream there,
but Labyrinth Ultimate as well after the attempted play
and Sarquence can continue farming afterwards.
Sarquence still has his teleport to get back to.
I'm kind of curious what Wolfie uses in the Kail's on
because he had that finish,
APA now on a roam up towards the top side.
In fact, just gonna be hopping back to safety.
The falling star comes through.
Will they continue in on the dive?
Looks like the answer is no, but in fact,
chunk to low and they'll form some plates.
Meanwhile, mid lane, because you see both solo laners
up in the top side, Sentinels,
they're bringing the Rift here,
Elbphombok gonna drive it on in
and take that mid lane tower, nicely done.
Open up the mid lane, just open up the entire map here.
Now, they can really like ward up these angles
between rotations from mid lane
and helps out Sentinels a lot.
In addition to having Hawkshot, now you've got Midlane Tower down, you have so much room to work with.
And that was first tower, so they're going to be able to grab first tower gold, they're going to be able to go,
and looks like get an uncontested third dragon.
They take down the bot tier one, they do lose their top tier one, but Sentinel's now on soul point.
It is Chemdex soul, and not bad honestly, especially when you have the additional shielding on this composition.
And we'll see if C9 are going to be able to contest on this next dragon,
They basically have five minutes to try to scrape something together and get ready to go
And this is for sure Darkwing's comfort zone, you know, this North American talent and has has not played a second
He's going he's actually trailing right now
Yeah, they're gonna look for a play potentially on a BA. I think about trying to bait him actually uses fly aggressively
Yeah, because if you do fly forward then you would be absolutely
In fact, he's doing his best acting there.
I missed a mininar, buddy.
Don't you want to fly on me?
Yeah, and it increases the damage too when you're in the actual flight.
So sometimes people just use it for the trade and then you can get punished.
Humbock is in behind him.
APA does have some support though as Vulcan has arrived.
So we'll help him to farm this wave and try to keep him safe.
But Darkwing's is very, very far ahead.
It is a 1.8k gold lead.
In comes the Grand Starfall for really nothing.
I mean, you knew Humbock was there and they do get the TP out.
get the TP out so that really is the trade but the rest of Seminoles are moving over even Rehella is coming in now
They're gonna go for these stalls in fact gets canceled and Hombach will just pull back and allow them to take the turf blades
Yeah, meanwhile, look at that. It's us again. That's us farming up
this renecden is
the cloud nine
Lane that has the gold advantage, but you know, it's just just basically stridebreaker renecden
So yeah not gonna have the easiest time fighting through a skarner and a gravity well from the big bear and an ash and seraphine lots of
CC you know, it's all he he was able to get merc treads
You know you need the need the steel caps for his for a side landing
So I think you need like a sterix here. You need some capacity
Or a Tana toast to be able to like operate at all. I agree completely. You're just gonna get locked down
We'll say cloud nine and pulled the gold back a little bit
So it is just that 1.7k now, so pretty close as far as that is concerned, but obviously the looming problem is the soul.
And the fact that APA has nothing relevant at all. He is very, very far behind right now.
He still doesn't even have his upgraded boots for that role quest completion,
because he's just been trying to scrape to net there enough gold to get his Leanderies.
But that does mean you don't get any bonus from your role quest, right?
Like, which is, it's very rare to see people leave their their boot upgrade this long.
And who is going to put pressure on Darkwings?
They get the cleanse out of Sven here with the ulti.
But who from C9 is going to put this pressure onto the victor,
onto Darkwings?
This is, like I was about to say, this is his comfort zone.
Plane control made sheer without the most significant divers.
I guess you can say, if he's in a bad position already,
then a Pantheon ulting in and an Aurelian soul-empowered
ult are probably the best way to get to him
and best way to take him down.
But if Sentinels, like they have now,
control of the map, and they're able to award flanking wards
on their sides, they should be able to keep Darklings
with a lot of uptime here.
And this victor with the double burn items
with yearly Andries and your Blackfire torch
can put out a lot of DPS through these teamfights
because Seraphine shields keep you safe
and you've got multiple people peeling for you
with plenty of CC.
Yeah, I mean, I think Ash is generally much higher DPS, you know, as well, than the Ezreal
on the other side, unless you're hitting absolutely every skill shot, which can be pretty tough.
And Sentinels are going to win front to back pretty easily, so Cloudman need to find some
sort of way to get a pick or get into the back line with your, you know, your Renekton
and your A-Soul and your Pantheon and one-shot someone, but that is really tough.
And when you're trying to fly in aggressively like that, if you get CC'd up, you
can definitely get knocked down.
Shoujin now completed here for Thanatos.
Cloud9 just trying to play for some vision here around the Baron and
Goldlead is still staying around that 1.5k mark.
They won't have cleanse for a while, but the Mikael's is ready so Volkan I think is gonna have to kind of stay glued to him.
Okay, moment of truth here, Dragon's Soul coming in 50 seconds.
They get for one more recall for Blabber to go gets, I believe, the extra control ward that he just grabbed.
APA does have the skies to send so he has the empowered ulti so that is something that
is working for them and he has the Lee injuries completed so yeah he's down the tier 3 boots
as well as you know a little bit of extra itemization but essentially he's still on two items right
and so he's not going to be that much weaker than what Darkwings is right now we'll see
if Cloud9 can use that to find a good fight here trying to line up on the side Lava
Thanatos and APA all coming from that top side and it's Venom Vulcan just contesting
the way through mid, but Sentinels are all grouped here, clearly have eyes on everything and
impacts coming in, but his mega is about to expire.
Okay, it goes mini form.
Thanatos has a fully charged up bar here on Renekton too to get multiple empowered Renekton
abilities and they're trying to bait them into the face check, but Sentinels have
Hawkshot and so they've got a few tools here to check vision with.
I think impact needs access to the mid wave himself to start charging up his narbar, but they just push the mid wave
So sentinels dragon yeah, I mean sentinels they're winning two things they push the mid wave
So see now they're dropping a wave right now to do this and sentinels are gonna start burning through this dragon
The dragon's gone. See now. See now. I have already kind of built this
I feel like now they're gonna try to start up the bear and realizing that surely the dragon is being taken on the other side
Humbuck is in the area. We'll see if they can get the Baron to at least get something out of it
because they are eventually going to lose soul unless impact pulls off. Baron now down to about half HP.
Remember, APA has the skies to send, has that ready. Humbuck though, just pushing forward here and
threatening them and C9 starting to pull back. But here comes Blavra now with that skies to send.
And it drops at the same time. Blavra is into the back line with the Grand Starfall. Pop Diego's assault flashes forward.
They're onto Rahel. Rahel is low, but Dainos on the other side trying to fight Darkwings.
Darkwing did have to watch out.
Faintho's slice is in and is trying to finish him off,
but can't quite do it.
The Toll Secure and Rahel is pushing forward.
And Cloud9 are crumbling.
APA will fall.
Faintho's trying to run.
He's going to die as well.
Set and those lose.
No one grabbed the Soul.
They're going to get the fair.
And that is pretty much all she wrote for game two.
In that fight, Impact was only fighting the dragon.
Impact was not there.
So that was five on four.
Or I guess you're going to say like six on five
if you count the dragon on C9 side
because the dragon was like messing him up.
The dragon was getting hit back so low
that he was not going to be able to join this fight,
but it doesn't matter because Sentinel's kite back.
Again, Seraphine Ultimate from Hoohi was huge
right on the engage.
Nails two of them, he got APA, it bounced back on him.
They got Flabber as well with it.
And Rahel was able to kite back
even with the flash from Flabber.
They didn't have follow up damage to take him down.
So just look out, Sentinels do,
they pull back really nicely,
kind of kite this engage.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's really well done.
They had the empowered ace ulti.
The stun didn't actually connect on anyone though.
It was just kind of the echo damage swinging through.
Reheal lived for so long,
and then this ult from Humbock as well,
I miss on the side,
as they were trying to pile in onto Reheal,
Humbock got a two man compail.
Yeah, it was just beautiful stuff.
He caught Labyrinth right out of the Pantheon ult.
Darkwings also kite it, like we were saying.
They weren't able to take down Darkwings,
because they're split. It was just like renecing on Darkwing since he flashes over the wall.
So Darkwing's kites. And again, let's update that damage meter. Impact was doing damage
to the dragon. The dragon almost killed him, though. He was really low. He used full mega
on that dragon and turned back into a midi. I will say the update on the new season,
I do like that you really need your junglers to take objectives because it's way harder
for other people who don't have a pet and are not junglers. Did you damage to those
It does look kind of funny because it's not it's not as easy as it used to be for non-junglers to take objectives for sure about themselves and
In the end, they got everything they wanted literally everything on the map. Get the soul, get the Baron.
You got to say it does get a little bit worrying from the C9 side. This mid lane ban strategy actually works super well.
If you're going to go A-Soul into the victor, this looks horrible, the whole game through.
I was thinking, hey, maybe maybe there's something I'm just missing.
Big ulti comes through, scoffs to send, across multiple members, has blamers into the backlight,
but he's getting CC'd up where hell gets shut down, but they do get one back.
It's up to Darkwing's now. He's running here with Hoohy.
APA getting low, in fact threatening on the side, but does not have mega.
Good engage from Cloud9, they're able to knock down two members with the combo.
clutch defense they really needed that one but they're gonna need more on top of
that one good opportunity though you know again drop the drop all the
ultimate at the same time flabberg goes in skies to send from APA and they're
able to take down Rahel really early on in the fight and then flash through the
front line as well but we'll see how repeatable this is because central
they all kind of look in here and so you get the big ultimate right over the
Rahel is just taking full damage from Aurelion's soul right there and he's breathing on him.
Yeah, I mean Rahel was just too far forward. He tried to walk up an auto of the tower in their face basically
and he had no flash from that previous fight. So as soon as the Ace will all actually connects and stuns him there,
you are pretty screwed. Even with, you know, the healing coming through from Humi and the CC coming through,
there's just no way you're not going to die in that spot. So does get punished pretty heavily,
but they are still fully in control.
4.5k plus all the stats here from the soul.
And they just like,
if they just have their frontline
being in the more dangerous positions,
then they should be able to win that front to back
pretty easily, I think,
especially with Kemsul and Seraphine here,
obviously he's providing tremendous value
for these fights though.
And back gonna push them off,
they get another tower here.
Still though, you have to crack the inhibitor turret line
to really make it dense.
Sentinels are going to retreat
and wait for the Elder Dragon.
One minute and 40 seconds on Elder.
Hey, that could be the great equalizer.
You can turn games around, definitely.
You know, get an Elder smite
or get a good position here on the fight.
Yeah, it is gonna be really tough,
I think, for them to do that.
But hey, if you steal the Elder, you're right.
It can change the game completely
as the arrow's gonna come out.
It's gonna miss everything really missing there
onto Thanatos, so he's able to blast
coming back out of the safe field.
He might have been in a lot of trouble, but is able to navigate it. Well and stay safe and you'd see
Pretty much the gold lead is support and mid which is kind of funny
But who he is up nearly 2k over Vulcan which does matter a lot and shader skill really really well
He's gonna have his third item in pretty soon and then of course Darkwing's being up 3k. Well, that's self-explanatory
That also matters a lot. He's gonna be up basically the entire zonias over where if you and that's their fiend third item
The Diedim is crazy.
Like, that is a huge boost in power.
You know, it's already pre-stacked,
so he's gonna have full effectiveness with it
once he gets in.
And again, the Sentinels front to back.
As long as you have Skarner on the front,
just grab anybody.
Yep.
Yep, pretty much just need to get anyone at all.
I mean, we've seen Blaber even when he times the Aegis,
it's all too immune damage during the unveil.
It still doesn't matter, because you get CC'd out of that.
It's not gonna end, right?
There's just so much follow-up, CC,
from their composition.
You're into a gravity field.
You're into a crystal arrow. You're into the roof of Seraphine. You're into the Encore. You're into the NAR. You're into the Wallop.
They all have tons and tons of CC and C9 trying to push through bot to get some space here.
They don't really have any deep words that I can see.
Now, Phenetos right now is pushing through mid. APA, though, critically does have the charge up all.
So he has to make all. These guys at the stand will be ready here.
And it's going to get found and he's going to get CC chain.
The arrow, the CC just never ends.
Found by impact, stunner to the wall, hit by everything there.
C9 I feel like they still kind of have to try for it.
Mostly LTs were used by Sentinels but they still have Encore and they still have that
impale and they're TPing impact back in.
Yeah, Hombok is looking for the flank after stealing the red.
comes the Skarner. All right, he's bottom now, Blaver is back behind them, does have
the grand star fault to join. Trying to stay hidden for now though, trying to
threaten a little bit on the side. Going to jump forward with the stun down on the
hip. Back here comes the Sky Descent across multiple members. It's a big ulti, but the
appeal is equally good on the other side. Blaver is gone, Vulcan shirt of
all the flashing forward is Reheal. Zvett is on the run, but he's got nowhere to go.
It's an arrow to the back as sentinels take another fight APA gets out
But he's the only one to live to tell the tale. They're teeping into mid lane
They can grab the elder they can even get the Baron again if they want here and finish all of these super buffs sentinels
I mean they are they're gonna even this one up for sure sentinels crushing here the only hard choice now
Do you get player of the game to Hombok or who he I
Hombok has been so good on this starting every flash
Charge into the wall like Hombok. I feel as in so many plays. I feel like we're hell zoning too, but who you man
And the yeah, both members of the bottom lane and these sit this value of the Seraphine has been insane
I just think Hombok is piloting the skarner super super well
And so many of these critical stuns in the wall some of these critical plays started by him
Oh arrow hits again and that one has the elder burn on him. He still doesn't have any tenacity man
No, it's so hard to move. It's a crocodile versus a dragon. What are you gonna do to be very even if he had tenacity
It's still be really hard to move
He's gonna get killed as the stairs, but uh, just
Can't be CC to base there you go
But not gonna have to worry about that for too much longer as I think this push should close out the game here
Percentinal surely you can see in the top right. They have the baron buff. They have the elder buff
They have the soul so they have everything they surely need to close this one out early
Really one way ticket
screen
As we know those tickets don't last in the next game
They had both to think actually they're at the same spot now. They both had one ticket
Oh, same path to the mission.
Yeah, same destination.
So one of those in the series is just stranded there.
They don't get to fly home.
Exactly.
Okay.
That's how it works.
All right.
Well, C9, I'm going to try to hold on, but very, very difficult.
You can't fight against the elder buff, and you can't really
wave through as effectively against the Baron.
You can try.
I've seen many a full-hardy champion try.
And a lot of times you don't get a choice, because they're
just going to come fight you.
Yep.
They are going to come fight them.
4-4 sacks, Aldi's going to get popped there, Stunned over onto Rahel. Rahel is getting burst down. In goes all of clock nine, they shut him down.
APA trying to get to work down on the side, but Flabber is falling, Kiddiness is already gone. Zvendim Bulkin are running for the hills.
And despite a good pick onto Rahel, it's not going to change the math on this one.
Sentinels with too much power will not be stopped. They push forward, they take the Nexus and they tie up our lower bracket finals.
One-to-one.
Join us soon for the next episode of What Will APA Play?
What is it going to play?
This is the best of five Fearless, bro.
We got a long ways to go.
What should we watch?
What should we watch back?
We had said something.
But I don't remember.
We're going to need chat to remind us of something.
I'm going to pop up a chat and see.
We could look at the lane phase a little bit or something
maybe for APA and Darkwing.
See where we're going there.
It did feel like APA got checked me to the little bit in the draft.
I'm honestly pretty surprised.
I thought he was just gonna go away
and just kind of farming out.
The A-SOUL is obviously more of an old school comfort pick
for him, but into the victor,
it is very, very tough in my experience
and it looked very, very tough in his experience as well.
So he was kind of getting slammed that whole game
and it created such a big advantage there.
I'm scanning the chat for any chat.
There was no chat except GGs at the end.
So everybody, they're all positive gamers.
They're all business.
They're all Honor 5 in Twitch chat.
That's pretty impressive.
Good game all around.
I'm looking at, I'm looking at Aurelian
still for the, for early stages.
We can get some, some looks as advertised.
The only other thing we could think about
is I'm thinking about that bot lane fight
where, where it's been tried to cleanse
the Shulls impact and then gets tied by the Encore.
That was a pretty, pretty big fight.
That was that one, I think, right there, probably.
Is it? Yeah, yeah, this, this fight, I felt like was pretty big, because at this point,
their bot lane was still winning, right?
And to me, this was one of the big opportunities, because early on, you see now his mid lane
was already always getting counted, right?
But they had the winning side lanes, and I felt like-
Oh, this is, I think this is the earlier kill.
Oh, this is the earlier kill, yeah.
This was just a really nice job from Hombok.
Yeah.
And you saw the no vision there, so he just comes out and they get to be really early kill.
This one from Whohe2 is where Whohe's going to be able to bounce the Seraphene ult over to
and then come down here and also flash for Sven.
So if we're trying to decide between Whohe and Hombok for a player of the game,
this replay is good for both of them.
I mean they both made amazing plays.
Oh, this is the one. This is the one you're talking about.
Well, that play was good too though, right?
Because it's these kind of two plays.
because Cloud9's hope really was side lanes, and you just hope that APA can stabilize mid lane enough.
I mean, when your mid laner is rushing a Giants belt and just trying not to get blasted, it is tough.
But yeah, here's the cleanse. So, Sven tries to cleanse the E-Salt Impact, but you can't cleanse until you're actually stunned into the wall.
So, there's the cleanse before he gets stunned into the wall, and then he gets tagged by the Encore,
which I wonder, you know, if he had, if he had the cleanse for this, does it actually change the fight?
Yeah, he probably doesn't die at least right there, but maybe so the tag with the arrow
It's hard. It's hard to know but those two skirmishes fell a good aside the game. I think yeah
I mean that that was a that was a lot of power down here
But also look what was happening up here the entire time, you know, this is a this is another move Darkwing's kept on getting
extra gold pushing in and like look at this CS discrepancy was so big early on he had to kill early on so
So, um, got his, got his upgraded laser.
Yep.
Very easily.
Yeah.
And then once you get the upgraded laser, it's just going to get even worse.
Um, at the end of the day, player of the game is going to be, uh, Rahel, but, uh, I
think a lot of certain Sentinels players could definitely have won it.
I think Rahel piloted the Ash really, really well.
Except for the junglers!
Humbock was popping off all these flash, uh, charges.
Well, we have been having junglers win almost every player of the game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Maybe I'm drunk with power.
You're drunk with power.
Honestly, it could have been a lot of people Darkwings, even though he wasn't as involved in the fights
I think could deserve some credit too for I mean look at APA was not even a champion. APA was not involved in this game at all
I think that cloud nine will
Will first round their mid laner. I think that's for sure
I don't think they're gonna allow it to go the second round to get that second set of bands
It's an advance. It's just too many bands and if I'm sentinels
I'm trying to just repeat that strategy because that looked oh, yeah horrible for APA
That's that's the most taken out of the game
I've seen a PA in quite a while as far as as far as just like matchup wise people talk about him having weak champion pool
But most time honestly, I don't really see it
I don't really see him actually getting punished that hard off of his champions
I feel like he usually looks pretty pretty similar across the board
I think there's a couple that really stand out but most of his champions seem pretty similar to me
this time that looked rough and I don't think it was a
Champion skill issue was just a matchup issue that they kind of banned him into and he didn't have the flexibility to find something else
I mean you possibly have three more games to go through to yeah, so I got spooky you got to start digging really deep here
He did in the LCS
Bring out the Gallio that had mentioned earlier to you and that was something that wasn't on the ban list
But it's more of a comp thing that way that has to yeah way as well
So they're definitely other options. So we'll check in after the break on what will APA play next?
I feel like I can show you who I am
The
the game. Welcome back to
America's Cup here. We're in
the lower bracket. It's one to
one C nine versus sentinels C
nine dominating game one
Sentinels. There's a
dominated game two, and I am
really interested what pick
is going to look like because
sentinels through every
single band, all five
And then also it wasn't just that obviously that's a that's always a big story with APA
But also humbox played really well on the scarner playing around bottom lane lots of these really good
Flashing gauges from him around this ass Seraphine both members of the ass Seraphine with Raquel and who he played that very well
What's a good Seraphine all to the multiple members ash arrows as well?
From Raquel and so sentinels overall looking quite good in this one
Yeah, they you know impact was was losing up there a bit of fresher to then it tells but it didn't end up mattering at all
Because then at the end of the day it's a it's a renekton into this like giant death ball
Tom CC comp. Yeah, that is yeah hard for him to do much about and it was a renekton with no tenacity until the game was over
Yeah, it was literally over. Yeah, I mean the he got it
He got it while he was dead when they were pushing up after getting as they were getting elder and baron, right?
So he didn't have to nasty the entire game. He had a big early advantage. He was up 20 20 plus CS
But yep, didn't matter bot lane did create an advantage as well for C9
but then they lost out on the bot side scrimmages so that didn't matter and
After that Sentinels really ran away with it because mid lane was bad the whole way through
We had APA rushing a Giants belt on a soul just to try to survive and not really able to do anything
That matchup has always been horrible in my experience and it looked like there's no real solve for it at the pro level either
So we'll see what AP wants to do. I'm definitely expecting cloud nine to early pick their mid laner
Whether or not they want to like blind pick it just to get something out there
I don't think the dark wings is the guy to really counter pick you and worry about that too much
Most of the time so if I'm C9, I'm first rounding for sure
I'm not allowing them to get five fans on mid because they're gonna do zigz to lia plus one again almost guaranteed
Yeah, I mean once it arrives. That's the interview
definitely looks like it. Oh, Taliyah is up there doing Ori, so they can't ban Ryze or
or Taliyah, they have to drop one of those bans. So C9s, you can't kill this. Cassio
is also still available too, so there are a lot of champs that he can't play. But people
don't really seem to care about the Cassio matchup that much anymore. So I feel like
it's not a losing though, you know, it would be way better than the thing we saw previously.
I just think Sentinels will ban Taliyah or Ryze and then AP will pick the other.
I would not let him have Taliyah. I think you gotta ban that Taliyah.
They had been banning it second every time, so I was just a little bit surprised.
But yeah, I think he'll just go Ryze, and then I would assume you're right, and we'll just get Cassiopeia first to Ryze.
But yeah, I mean, there's easy problem solvers for this early on, because you say,
alright, well, we don't let our mid laner get five banned.
But if you get to game four, game five, well, that gets problematic.
Yeah. Fearless takes its toll. We'll see, though, because this game, they should have no problem building a comp around Ryze.
This is one of the most flexible mid lane picks. You can sideline with it. You can teamfight close range comps with it. No problem.
You get a lot of push in most matchups as a Ryze, and so that allows APA to play two blabber.
Nara Lulu versus Korkinami.
Wow, that would be crazy.
It would be crazy, but I think that's what we're going to get.
We're going to create one way trip.
One way trip to crazy town.
Crazy by the way.
We're bringing one way trip all the way through.
Yeah, we're reframing one way trip.
It has been so negative.
Now one way trip is always going to be a positive thing, you know?
Because after you take one one way trip,
you can just take another one way trip somewhere else.
So it's like you didn't even get another cool place even if even if the first one-way trip was bad
Just a new one and it could be somewhere good. Yeah, exactly. No problem. Ah
The syndra instead here. Okay, so splinter stacking
Syndra syndra really I think people underestimate the stacking part of syndra here
You really do get so much power one thing that can be difficult
Of course if enemy jungle is a you know a good ganking jungle like syndra
You blow Syndra's Flash and she has a really hard time fighting her way out of it.
You have to be so good with your stuns with this champion and Ryze definitely has the potential
for a lot of Flash setups here on you.
It's like Syndra is such, I love the champion because it has a lot of offensive power.
It's just the defenses are always a liability depending on enemy jungle.
Sweet draft Lulu for you know.
Strong defense.
Yeah.
Who he might say.
are reserved for the Unara though. Or if you just do a lane to mid you know, fixes it up a little bit.
Little roaming, you're gonna forget the roll quest, I don't need that.
There's a one-way trip to mid lane, the body lane.
I do that sometimes. Yeah, it's cute.
So like you take a lot of one-way trips, let me out of here. I'm not coming back.
I give my ADC one death and you know, well, it's no but you know and then I'll judge
after that, right? If they're super trolling on the first death, I'm like, let me go. Let
me go start roaming. You know, and then you judge after the first death and even before
the first death. Yeah, I'm always joking. I'm not myself because my level of play is
beyond judgment. And you can't change yourself. You know, you're in the game no matter what.
I'm stuck playing with me. I gotta play with me every game. That's the worst part.
You can't do anything about that.
Alright, Trundle is gonna get banned out,
so Impact might be looking towards a tank.
We haven't seen any tanks coming through just yet,
but obviously, you know, Sion, Ornn,
all those are up and available.
And I feel like we gotta get one,
because both the Jantor supports here, right?
So we're gonna get some tank jungles maybe,
some tank top lane options, definitely up there.
Mundo getting banned, because if you're gonna ban Trundle
and you don't wanna play Mundo,
well, you gotta ban away Mundo pretty much,
because that is kind of one of the strongest answers.
So I feel like they're just trying to set up for a scion
or for an orn, and we'll see where they want to go,
or if they're just going to blind pick jungle gear,
I think that's also totally fine.
And then you can just last pick your tank top.
Yeah, Wukong looks pretty good here for the teamfights.
And then on the other side, for Cloud9,
they banned the mouth fight themselves also.
So they don't have the extra point in play.
The mouth fight would have gone hard this game.
Syndra feels like it is not fun playing a mouthbite, but obviously it was it was banned in the first three and
Wukong is gonna be locked in so no surprise there and now Cloud9 have to choose which AD jungler they want to play
Because you're not allowed to play AP junglers and the one that they want to play is Nocturne
Yeah, they're completely fine with that. Guess what? Syndra can't get away from me. Pop my ult, pop my spell shield
And you're gonna have a hard time. You're gonna get feared. Okay, so the Gwen, what do you want to play into the Gwen?
10. We actually have seen a decent amount internationally of Yasuo into the Gwen.
In fact, Yasuo is what you're calling for.
Yeah, buddy.
Maybe change the name plates a little bit.
We could move that a little bit.
That looks better with the name plates.
I mean, you knew they were setting up for a giant top, but this is kind of, this reminds
me of back in the day when in fact was playing only tanks and people used to blind pick
GP, which was considered Omega illegal, and then he would just pick a tank into it anyway.
And so sometimes you can get that preferential matchup when people have their preferences
as far as those champions.
So I do think that Trundle really broadcasted they want to play tank top.
And so you blind pick Gwen, which is great into all tanks top.
And so now Impact is just going to play the tank that he thinks will get punished
the least by it.
And we'll see if he is going to be correct.
Canik Rookern goes hard though, you know, got the Ryze split push or the Gwen
split push.
Canik Rookern for impact looks pretty good and then their team fight. Just look at team fight.
You know you play for your team. Impact is good at that. Slam me a tank. All good.
Slam me a tank. Pick me a tank. Let me win in peace. There you go. And
on the other side, it's really gonna be all about back-to-back side lanes, baby. Exactly.
You have Rellmorp, you have Paranoia, you have so many tools to get in on those side lanes.
And you also have what is a very strong 2v2.
Actually, oftentimes people think of a Chater matchups 2v2 as really, really boring.
This is one of the ones I've actually really been enjoying watching, because I think that
they are two really strong lanes and both sides can win, but they have completely different
goals in the 2v2.
Younar and Lulu want these extended trades where you get the Inara passive stacked
up and then you use Ghost or Heal for Move Speed or whatever, and you get in there, and
you take these extended trades.
And Korki and Nami need to trade aggressively to win the matchup, but you need short trades.
And you need to make sure you're never overextending and giving them that lethal tempo stack.
So I think it's actually quite a fun 2v2 to watch.
Yeah, you want a short trade, and then back off, and user sustain, and then a short
trade, and then back off, and the user sustain, and then, yeah, keep repeating
a kind of cycle here.
And so that's why we get a lot of jungle pathing down there.
I mean, we get a lot of jungle pathing bottom line anyway.
We do get a lot extra here too because you can influence those timings and and force
Force a little bit more one-way trip down the bot lane for the jungle one way trip down the bot lane
And then maybe from there you get a one-way ticket in the mid lane that back to your camps
Gank that sinja get that sinja flash down
Never doubted sentinels
Hombok for MVP. Hombok was really good. That was my vote. I like who is that chatter? Did you catch that name?
I'm like, who is that?
That guy is a really smart guy.
What a handsome chatter there.
Really smart.
I thought he had a lot of good engages with the Skarner.
And on Wukong, he's got an important job in this comp.
His job is very important here for Honbok once again.
So we'll keep track of him.
You know, farm up to your level six, of course.
But get in there with the Wukong.
Flash in ultimate.
Huge, huge possibilities.
Because you can do the Wukong.
You know flash in for ultimate and Lulu ultimate then on the wukong and then ultimate again with the wukong and so you just get
knock-up knock-up knock-up
Chaining here and sometimes you just get multiple people caught in that too. Yeah, and especially if you can interrupt Valkyrie
I always think that is so big when you're playing against corki
Yeah, it is very interruptible and you have a lot of different tools to do that the cyclone
You know, sometimes you're just even having people go aggressive with the wild growth
You get the middle team you get knocked up from that you get scatter
There's all these tools to actually stop it. So
So some diablo cosplay here with the UNAR jumping in melee melee range with both of them get the Lulu knock up
and
The apple goes hard
It's gonna be fun actually to see the effects at first hand excited for that
I'll be pretty cool
But early trades definitely going pretty nicely there for Rahel and who he is going to be the sustained advantage of course with
tsunami, but they have used all their potions on the cloud nine side and they are down a barrier, but they kept their heels
So that even trade as far as the song or something sir
Oh, that's I was trying to get past the wave here and he does
That does gonna get into the dirty farming between towers
It's always so nice you get so much extra time to move with and it knows that it's a top-down clear for moukong
so
that I was gonna get in here once again
he did it previously on their necton and
and you leave behind the extra vision, helps out your jungler on the repeat clear, sees
the Krugs timer.
I just, I always love when top laners are able to do this for their junglers.
Yeah, I mean it's really really smart and if you have that vision to know, then there's
not really much the top laner can do about it, right?
Impact can't do anything about that because if you just chase after them then you're
losing all the minions at your tower.
And your quest progress even too.
If you get too far back you start losing quest progress so it is really really rough
And it means that impact then has to stay in lane to be able to actually reset the wave because the wave can sometimes then
Get really messed up. So he is stuck there and finishers just walk back not a crazy buy
But does have the amptome so as the additional forter gold of stats and impact is going to be trapped in lane for a while
Yeah, it's not a crazy buy, but it's an extra like free one. Yeah
You'll be used now is everyone pretty aggressive polymorph will come out there on this then the bubble will not connect under hell
The Reheal is very low still holding onto the barrier
But he needs to get out of this lane quick Sven is gonna push forward aggressively here onto who he who he does have his flash
But obviously no barrier and Sven takes a lot of damage there from the footer Lance as well as a few shots from Reheal
And now the Sven is
Low and both has no mana
So not much more than they can do there
So you've been working on your play by play and the names of all the abilities. Yep
What is the unempowered yunara when she sends out her spinny beads like that?
No idea.
Because Atlas calls it the circle.
I'm not part of that squad.
No, I don't know what the real name is.
No, I know arc of rune because that's generally the one that is cool.
So generally I'm not trying to learn every single ability name.
It's like the ones that I would actually use.
So it's not a cool name or it's one that would be hard like not use often. I'm not about learning it
So generally I need to know all the ultimate ability names and I need to go back
That one one way trip to efficiency
We can't be trying to remember everything
Yeah, you can't keep upgrading look at I gotta delete like some really good memories
to remember that look.
Yeah.
Hell no.
When I got a new phone, I just get more memory than last time
every time, so I don't have to delete old pictures
with my brain.
Your cranium there.
If anything, it's getting downgraded over time, so.
It's decaying.
Decaying matter, I'm glad.
Yeah, it's just barely hanging on.
You can't be expecting me to remember the less cool W
for you, Nara.
I already know Ark of Ruin.
Don't put that in there.
I probably just lost something else, critical.
just by thinking about it.
Oh, sorry.
They're dropping out of the back over here.
I can see a hole in the back.
Just forgot my social security number.
Quick, tell me your credit card number.
So you got to chat.
Chat has one, one, one, two, two, two.
And the little code thing on the back, we'll keep it
safe for you.
Me and Chad, we got you.
Thanks.
I appreciate that.
Unrelated, I've been looking to go on a shopping spree.
I'll buy a bunch of RAM with it.
Definitely not your credit card.
It's like my own.
You think I'm going to afford RAM, buddy?
In this economy, RAM?
Buy yourself a car or something more important.
Like a free dragon, maybe, for Sentinels.
No, it's not free.
Payment?
Is there chickens?
It's your time.
And your chickens?
Your chickens.
So that's going to be a level six for Blaber off the chickens.
and he wants to blow Cindra's Flash.
We love that, but Cindra would not love it, so she's playing pretty far back.
Respectful Cindra. Love me a respectful Cindra.
Respectful Cindra, yeah.
Ooh, no scatter, but...
Drops his cannon, he's so respectful, he drops his cannon.
APA pushes Darkwing's away from the cannon,
and Darkwing says,
I bet you have a level 6 Nocturne on your team.
And he was right, that's a good bet.
He remembered.
He remembered, and he did not want to take a one-way ticket back to the fountain.
It's a bad one when they took it.
Alright, so they're now down a couple hundred gold.
They lost the play, so they're just going to try to shove this as fast as possible as you know our has base.
And then it's still looking good up on the top side.
Has claimed that one plate, and you can see that Crystalene growth is stacking up again.
So might be able to grab that for himself pretty soon.
APA also, you know, one auto or a couple of mini shots away from grabbing a plate there in mid lane.
So Cloud9 going to be able to reclaim that gold lead ever so slightly.
Yeah, I mean going pretty calmly here in the early stages, so
Farmer right back up for the resets impact here
It's always nice and get the extra regen off your early components and just sustain away
The impact comfort zone on a tank in my lane
Was it thriving? Yeah, I mean unbothered. Oh, it's your eyes. I'm bothered. He's all those
See that one was really close to falling out
It's like the next thing that I'm gonna forget. It's like on deck, but I kind of remembered it. It's just teetering
Yeah, just teetering, but once you now you've said it. It's like been moved up a bit. Yeah
You can't remember what you just
We're just refreshed in my lane moisture. Yeah, exactly bothered me that one's that one's locked in for at least another couple days
Oh, yeah, yeah worse
Mid lane hover for dark wings
But APA again pushing him right back off this cannon. He wants to deny another cannon. Can he do it?
Now the minions are not going to go back on it. Darkwing gets this cannon. Big dub.
Yep, and Darkwing is spacing APA pretty well, but APA is doing a good job.
Just has the early merc treads and has the tier and just kind of running at him and
forcing him to spend spells on him instead of the wave.
So making him miss CS here or there and as a result is up about 200 gold.
Homok in the area. You can see Blabber was over by that scuttle and he's gonna be able to claim that for himself
We heard this might affect so now on the grubs already has the scuttle and Blabber just power farming away
But hasn't been able to find an ult and it always feels really nice on Nocturne when you can get that first ult off
Very very quickly, especially if it's a successful one and then just go right back into farming immediately after
I'm gonna give you some unwanted information
And it's the Ark of Judgment.
Ark of Judgment.
And the Ark of Ruin.
I knew the Ark of Ruin.
That one was wanted.
Now you've got the Ark of Ruin.
Now I have a double of Ark of Ruin.
And it's a very judgy knowledge.
It's the Ark of Judgment.
I don't know.
Ark of Judgment.
Man, you remember that for everybody.
I got you.
With a full story background.
I'm going to hit you with the Ark of Judgment if you ever forget that.
Yeah.
True.
You're going to be really judged.
This mini-circle thing, it's so, it's so funny too,
because at first, when the, when Yunar first came out,
everyone was trying to just run away from it,
but then you get stuck in it for longer.
It was taking more damage.
It looks so unthreatening, the animation,
but it actually hurts a lot.
This slow is really annoying.
Yeah.
But if you just run towards it, you have no fear.
You kind of like, just walk the other way.
Sometimes you're walking into Yunar
and it's not a good choice, but.
I have fear of Yunar, that's all I'm gonna say.
I'm more scared.
That's the problem.
Because she's judging you.
That's what it is.
Exactly. She's the one that's judging which kind of messed up the funeral. She's also the one that ruins you if you hit the empowered one
First judgment
Yeah, yeah step by step process here with this jam got a scale a little bit
Oh, wow, it's pretty early hex play here for blabber
not turn still no not turn old though, so
Up to level nine up to the hex play. He's cruising on farm. He is
He's carousin'.
Well, you gotta use it.
You can't just farm and then not use it.
Potential cooldown reduction.
True.
That doesn't reduce any cooldowns yet.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And Kobe's gonna cast the arc of judgment onto Blabber
if he doesn't use this nocturne ulti pretty soon.
Yeah, the arc is right now.
I'm drawing the arc.
The judgment is getting-
The ju-
Yeah, he's being judged.
It's not picking yet, but it's coming.
But he's being judged.
Yeah.
And Hombok is gonna get spotted here by Blabber.
Santos back on these proxying ways.
In fact, you gotta get back to the tower there,
buddy you're gonna lose minions.
The fact says screw it.
I'm gonna need minions.
It's on the tower. Oh he wanted it.
He's getting back in time for the cannon.
See he didn't lose any. Ah nice.
Melee and cannon in the queue.
Oh that melee! That's why he's the goat.
I apologize. He got the important one though.
He did. He did get the cannon.
And they're gonna be able to grab
the second dragon of the game. C9
has been very willing to give over dragons
it feels like this series.
Because everybody noticed that about Lyon and Inspire's teams.
Okay, topside, we're going to get something for sure, right?
They're looking for it. They have the needlework on them.
There's four members here top.
And there is no Pathmaker available for impact,
so we'll be able to find the kill.
Paranoia going to get cast, but nicely done.
Their five impact goes all out, gets the reset on the Pathmaker,
is able to dodge that one. No problem.
And now Sven valking in.
Honbok is going to show up, though.
I don't think Honbok can really look for this fight.
As APA is going to be keeping down to bot lane or excuse me, let's stay on the coast,
keeping down to bot lane now to answer the push.
Yeah, I mean the swap over here does get advantage for C9.
They deny a bunch of waves or done a bunch of minions on top side and then Gwen easily
able to catch most of it on bottom side.
So C9 are up good in this game.
Out of 10, what does the knock turn all get?
1.2.
1.2, that's pretty terrible.
It was pretty terrible. Impact just used his own ult.
Well, that's pretty good.
Ran-Rai got it.
Ran-Rai's got any more room for that to be worse, no?
Well, I mean, he could have just walked up, and then Impact would have to leave anyway.
Missed that user ult at all.
Alright, well, we'll see if the Alamist will keep the Santos safe.
And it will for now as APA shows up to back him up, use the realm orb there,
and the ghost to get down was pretty worried about the dive coming through.
So a nice roam from Dark Wings is going to force a couple of resources out of APA.
Trailing Vanitas as well.
Doesn't seem that threatening though.
Dark Wings has not been interested in anything but max range mode.
There's a respectable center.
It is important on this champ because we went over how frail you can be if you're not respectful.
People start jumping on you, blowing your flash.
True some life advice there when you're frail you need to be more respect
Get snack in the mouth, you know
I'm not trying to get back in the mouth
Oh or in the head anyway, I wouldn't be able to remember even arc of ruin, and that's the cool one
No, and then you know, I mean you're gonna get judge you the way honestly, yeah, exactly
You don't want to get smacked anywhere. You don't get ruined if you get smacked anywhere people immediately judge you. Yeah
Hopefully the person is back here as well. Unless you're deserving of the smack.
Yeah, an unwarranted smack.
They're the ones who deserve judgement.
Hombok gonna look forward and engage here.
Transcendent one self comes out, nice wild growth eventually.
Denami, Wade, thrown out there as well.
Hombok flashes back in onto Sven.
And Sven is getting ruined now with his first plus over to Denami.
Rehealed flashes to follow the arc of ruin.
Comes out and gets him a double.
Sentinels win out on the skirmish.
the skirmish yeah the longer trade here like the Lulu can just keep you know our
buffed up and even though the bubble hits for the kill on the Honbok the you know
what the long extended skirmish here gets way more value getting the double
buffs to topside the eventos it was in some trouble who he is here and if I
kind of gone all out the needlework trying to get something done he's not
gonna be able to finish him off just yet impact flashes to the side
Vulcan flashes in just to try to kill him over the wall much or if I was
even needed, but he will survive and is a trade of flashes at the end of the day, but
about nine news two for just the one off of impact has to be said, though, with interest
did knock down that tower topside.
So do you get the first tower gold?
That's why they are up so much despite this mid lane fight.
Okay, so looking at hop off here goes for the old man tries to peel first.
So fear goes off and nomi wave also goes off and he flash reengages and they
They want to focus fire Sven. Dash forward from Ra'Hel, match his flash, quick his flash
was. He was expecting it. He knows, yes, Sven has flash. I'm immediately going to follow.
He's not getting away. And then since Doctrine was still in there, they get the bonus with
the double buffs.
Yep.
Lover tried to go back in as soon as Ra'Hel flashed in. He said, alright, I'm going
to turn on him, try to keep my AD carry alive. Unfortunately for him, he just died
as well. And now Sentinels looking for APA, little rem warp out to safety. That
The tower was very low. Darkwing's gonna die. Darkwing's actually gonna die. Oh no.
I'm casting Ark of Judgement.
He forgot that he was frail.
Totem slipping. He only takes one time.
God, he had been so respectful this whole game.
Yep, slipped up. He didn't respect the tower. He didn't respect the APA,
But he did not respect the power and the towers knocked him outside the head
Yeah
And then he got xd'd in chat too. That's even worse. Oh my god
You got ruined and then judge. Oh the inverse the alti expired
Jesus that's tough
All right
Jungle standoff over the control ward. Oh, we got a teleport to try and mix it up
Not sure if you'll find too much, I don't think. Pathmaker gonna be blocked there by Blavver with the spell shield.
In fact, we'll just walk this one out, but they are first to the dragon. Blavver is missing about 40% of his HP, and remember, Sennos got the first two dragons here.
You can mess around a lot with that. The teleport shield is so big, you can do some funky trades early. In fact, he's using his as they get down the dragon.
Man, last 30 seconds as well, so it lost a very long time.
Fnato's down the pit, lot of rotating some damage.
As he comes in, I'll be waving as well as the paranoia.
Some low health bars there, Darkwing's trying to kite back,
APA pushing for under a health.
The hotbox secures the dragon.
He gets taken down on the side.
Fnato's trying to push in on the impact,
who is incredibly low, path nigger to be aggressively.
Sven will knock him down.
Sentinels do get the dragon, but lose two kills.
How much gold could Cloud9 pick up after this?
Well, I think he's going to flash in here.
Here's the fear tether.
He's looking for a help.
Where a health still had his ulti.
And he's going to be able to dash back to safety.
In comes the delete button from Darkwigs.
Blaber survives just barely.
But Vulcan does die.
So Sentinels get one back.
So more judgment, but Midlane is free farm for Zen.
So Zvena was uncontested here.
Does get extra money for C9 out of Midlane.
But you have to wrap around they were doing three things at once. That was just too much grief
Too much greed a deadly sin and it does cost
Vulcan to go down Blabber to also use his flash to get out of there too many things too many things
You can have two they kept to three was just too many okay eating drink, but you can't talk at the same time
That's just weird, but it's a lot of damage at the beginning dark wings was on the front line
So the syndrome I checked out early and that caused them to use Lulule old
So, you know, how about does successfully get them to Dragon Soul Point?
The third dragon could be big, but here's the way they get greedy.
Sven goes mid, Blabber flashes in to go for more of these kills.
While the rest of the team's still doing the tower though, but the tower's still there.
Darkwing hits his stun under the gnaw, I mean.
Um, we actually got an offensive Hootie flash at the end too, so that's another cool down to keep in mind as far as the payment, but still a little bit much.
Yeah, I'm willing to bet Lava didn't realize he's still at ult, because I think that that looks a lot better if he doesn't have ult there, right?
Because you just RE and you dash away, so maybe he just didn't actually track that in the play.
Just assume, hey, we just have a team fight, Honbaugh can look for the engage, so does find then nice Nami way to disengage.
Honbaugh taking some big damage as he retreats back. Lava on the side does have the paranoia, but Alex not to use it.
They are instead moving up towards topside where Darkwing's is trying to defend this turret and could be quite vulnerable
Who he knows it's a who he is running up there on the mini map gonna try to get in in time
Well more coming through but Darkwing's getting focused down has no flash and no chance who he read the play
But just couldn't get there in time
Yeah, with no peel Syndra to frail picked off side lane no flash from the previous plays been in his lane
farming unbothered and
moisturized by the Nami
memory check check nailed it also I really like they're not me literally
moisturizing him it's like it's fell into place dude everything about water it's
everything lotion though the splashes water moisture water is mostly you don't
with me on that yeah I was considering casting our judgment you were you
Casted it in the process of I didn't express it, you know, okay? I pondered you judged
That you would be on my side. Yeah, I appreciate that. I appreciate that
Yeah, we got we got to stick together in these tough moments
Together as I mean it's gold versus dragons
Right now. I would rather have the gold but after the next dragon fight. I might change my mind
Change your mind. You reserve your archer of judgment after the next dragon, but I think...
I've seen I've got the last dragon, I would be thinking they had this one wrapped up, but there's still a chance for sentinels for sure.
The fights are gonna be tough though, and Hopbox might find Sven face-checking. Here comes the paranoia.
He's gonna be interrupt on a Valkyrie flash to follow there. It's not enough damage, but in comes in back from behind.
Sven could get picked off on the side, Reheal will be feared away.
away. 88 watches in with the room prison and he's going to knock down Rahel.
Santos kills off Hoohi and now Darkwing's is getting wrapped around on here.
Could be caught out. Looks like he will survive but C9 win out in the fight.
They do get the sums off Sven's. That's something. Well how about you
didn't have the damage? Finish him. That's using your head Sven. Right into
the front. Really good engage. They baited it out to get the Baron.
Yes, they're gonna get the Baron and now 7k is the lead for the Baron. Falls for Baron, not worth that much gold anymore on the initial kill
But it's still, you know, that 800 gold or whatever that you do get for it.
I imagine if we go over that play, we'll be looking at the Nami moisture peel
Because I was big. It was very, very moisturized. Yeah, huge. Huge.
Barrier is kind of moisturizing the other team too by that logic.
True, but they're bothered. Okay, they are.
Oh, and it's a flank over the Raptor pitch.
Yeah, Incomes the Pathmaker as well as he all out,
but the Hallow missed protecting Thanatos, pushing forward,
and on the side, Hanbock is incredibly low,
was hit by the Roof, and an ABA chasing after it.
The paranoia comes through from Blabber,
knocks down the enemy jungler,
and now there is no shot at grabbing Seoul here.
So C9 maintained the Gold lead,
will be able to deny Seoul for five more minutes
and continue to extend their advantage.
Yeah, getting the extra gold all and all these fights in the early game stacking up stacking it up
And then this time around at the critical moment they make good get the Baron
Get the dragon afterwards couple of good picks for them
Then it's us. I mean the even the even a Gwen flank right back over the side of the dragon or excuse me the raptor pit there
Ha ha it caused Honbok to be pretty far up in the lane and that was the the more meaningful of the chunks
definitely don't want to have the less meaningful chunk yeah the other chunks
didn't matter I don't really want to chunk at all but if you're gonna have
one you should be meaningful yeah and then blabber decided that's the meaningful
trunk yeah I'll go kill him get him you're all moisturized up you're ready
for combat oh my goodness congrats clad not on there 9000 gold lead here and
And they're extra four minutes.
They're listening skin.
Extra four minutes, they're listening skin.
It's looking beautiful.
They're warmed up and their moisture has done that now.
Think about what the next game in this series is.
Oh, well, we got to get there first.
God, I should.
Should be able to push us there.
Hold their horses there, buddy.
You can be counting dentals out like this.
Yeah, there's still some more work to be done.
Okay, Thos, that is a funny sound.
Funny?
Strange.
Yeah.
I was gonna say, no, you're the nicer of the Olympic judges.
Yeah.
Fair and wide.
Warning and creativity.
Where are we going with that?
Nowhere.
Just making them back off.
It's a warning shot.
You turn out the lights and see if they're scared
of the dark.
Exactly.
Yeah.
See how they move.
Pretty effective against, you know,
in certain situations.
I'd be spooked.
Yeah.
It's effective against young children and babies.
And also middle-aged men in the right situation.
Yeah, a lot of pro players, too.
Yeah, exactly.
They're real scary.
You saw some creepy guy enter your house,
and then the lights turned off.
I'd be scared.
Well, yeah, I guess it matters a lot what you saw
right before the lights came out.
Exactly, yeah.
Exactly.
God, and I know right before they turn out the lights.
I saw the Gwen sound. Yeah, that's scary. Yeah
It's all coming together now you connected the dots
I had not connected the dots of Thanos Gwen spam right before the doctor
And the lights are not creepy. You're right. It's pretty creepy. You're painting a whole picture for me out
Get it what you do is it? Yeah, you too
quite the artist
All right, we got 10k goal
Sentinels about that afterwards about the paranoia
What was going through your head when you heard the squeaky squeaky from Thanatos into the ultimate for Flabber?
Heck, is this guy talking about paranoia going to come out? Cyclone used to try to retreat. Realm Warp will arrive. In comes the wave.
Flabber not going to have enough damage to knock him down, but APA is just pushing forward. Wild Growth will be forced out there on the humbox, who does stay alive.
But someone's got to get down and answer Thanatos.
Because he's knocking on the door down there and Iberta tower looks like dark wins will go answer the door
Cinder can just pick those up and we only have a minute and 40 seconds for Baron and a couple extra seconds there for
Another dragon soul opportunity
So even though it's 11,000 gold lead here resulting in some extra completed items on the side of C9
What a which is a guardian angel, which is like a really really big good one item
You know, the hope for Sentinels is still here.
This dream for maybe we do some crazy stuff, grab a Dragon Soul,
or we let, you know, maybe we can get a Baron out of it.
It's like they overcommit on the other side of the map.
I think that probability is very, very low,
because Cloud9, they don't have to invest too much
to go grab Dragon, deny the Soul,
and then still keep vision of Baron.
You have a Nocturne and a Rise.
Like you can just realm warp everybody up there.
Yep, so it's your opportunities for fast plays for sentinels are not really there since
rise and
Nocturne mean that the cloud nine response to any fast plays are also fast fast responses
Yep, and I mean it's tough
Maybe me humbuck can get in and give his life to try to sell soul
But then it could be tough to even hold the base because they'll go straight to Baron and you are still gonna be down
tremendous amount of combat stats as we'll be forced back over the wall.
Let's claim the wolf though as the wolf took a one-way trip with him on the
Blascombe. And we'll see what Sentinels can do here.
Tentos now I'm gonna find him back who will just be forced to TP away. So
ulti traded out there but in fact now without that teleport available.
He's gonna be missing a pretty important tool.
Fennecos almost has his Zonius.
Looks like Cloud9 are just fully controlling the dragon area.
Not gonna rush anything.
Just wanna continue denying Sol,
and then we're gonna probably see them set up here around the Baron next.
Alright, let's see.
Objective bounties are on.
You know, the dream of the Cashion.
Get that, uh, get that big noise.
Get the big gold Cashion,
but first you're gonna have to win a T-Fy somewhere.
And Sven just trading with Crajela,
Holy crap, he has a lot of Divins,
but Sven is gonna get CC'd up and knocked down.
The unleashed power from Darkwing's
is not making him look frail.
Then it goes flashing in as well,
but gets nothing with it.
And Sven was trying to flex on him,
but he's the one who gets punished.
120 splinters for Darkwing's, for Syndra.
All right, now with the trade,
your jungler just got killed and Sven,
like, yeah, we lost our AD carry,
but you lost your smite.
And they're gonna TP right back in.
We'll see Ken Sandinels do anything about it.
Darkwing's is back.
Impact here as well.
They're trying to get some vision on the fair,
and they see it is very low already.
Impact just going into the middle of the pit.
Perron are you going to be possible to turn here onto?
Impact, they don't want to risk it.
Livergid's pulled back with the all-out,
so hit by the Scatter into the GA.
Now Reheal is almost back from the team.
The pair is still at 2K.
Impact going forward here.
It still is not reset.
Glamour might have knocked out Glamour instead.
It's anyone's game now.
Reheal is trying to go over the bear,
They're gonna kill themselves to do it!
Real men, Ran, Melee, Raging, and then it goes,
they're gonna just want the fights!
Oh my god! Oh my god!
It started out with such a good play from me,
it back to like a baited blabber over to him
and then kidnapped him even further away from the Baron,
but then Ryder's there...
What, Arran was like 1.2k?
Yeah, but Sandals could have just taken the fight
by how they were right in front of him and killed himself.
I mean, moments like that always get,
get your comms get so high right and everyone's kind of I mean I get it you
have to focus those are the most critical moments yeah you're seeing your
eyes are getting bigger I'm gonna steal the baron and win it for my team but
they were already winning the team fight they could have just like blabber was
outside the extra wall yep so they kill him and then take your time just hit
champions and you you can kill the Baron after but we come back to greed
the deadly sin. Nice energy. There you go. Alright well, Rahel unfortunately that was
the moment for Sentinels. They actually had a real shot there which I did not think they
were going to get at all and unfortunately they do fall short when it mattered most
in this game. And so now we are back to Sven getting caught again here as if that goes
all out Sven is just going to die once again. Gets killed off mid lane Cloud9 are
They're getting so sloppy this game was extremely dominant, but man, it's Venn dies twice mid,
they almost lost Baron if it wasn't for the mistake from Marhelle, and now Thanatos,
Hombok is behind him, he's gonna find out the bad news, but Thanatos is not too afraid,
and we'll just pop the needlework and run away.
Yeah, quite dangerous that Gwyn, so not gonna be able to solo or anything, or even
buy that much time for him to wrap around, and Hombok by the way is only level 14.
They have been truly starved out, Lavaer has been power farming this game in addition to
all the kills and stuff as well.
Still Sentinel is in a pretty deep hold, gold and experience, but they got the death cap
though.
They do have the death cap.
They almost have LDR for hell, I mean they're obviously monstrously behind, but their
carries do some damage.
If you're in a disrespect, you can die, as Sven has showcased a couple of times.
He almost has his IE, which will be terrifying.
We saw how much damage he did to Rahel on that initial trade before he died.
He almost won't drop Rahel.
And that was without the IE.
So when he has that completed, Rahel probably just insidized there.
Sven's also level 16 now, so has the fully upgraded rockets.
He is going to pack a punch, but does need to play a little bit more respectfully.
I feel like I'm kind of fast and loose over these last couple of minutes.
It's one of these games where I feel like they kind of lost focus.
It feels like they have won this game for so long that they're maybe getting a little bit impatient.
Yeah. Definitely can be the case. I mean, farming mid lane, I feel like that is such a common thing for AD carries to lose focus on.
You're in your lane, you're farming away, all of a sudden the enemy that you've been pushing in gets a flank on you.
And you're just too far up. Sometimes you should be bothered while you're farming in your lane.
You can stay bothered, you can stay moisturized, but you shouldn't be unbothered at all times, so he's gonna
Valk away after stealing a plate there, Cloud9 pushing all three lanes, APA down bot, Thanatos shoving up the top wave
And Vlaibhurt kind of just waiting on his GA to come back as he has that obviously, but it is not up and ready just yet
Deathcalf gonna be done here very soon for APA. He's been on these two rods for quite a while
Now there's gonna be a huge spike as he always already had that actualizer which is gonna be incredible amounts of damage
Once you have the actualizer death cap if you find the carry one combo can pretty much kill them off. Yeah
Meanwhile, you already mentioned the death cap on the other side for dark wings and when your syndrome is like fully stacked too
You really got to respect that execute
Lots of big items up for hell just finishes LPR, so he's on the four full items now
Now, I mean, impact is so far behind.
It feels like itemization-wise.
Maybe it has some gold in pocket,
but you can see Thanatos respecting the move towards
topside.
Sentinels were trying to make a play up towards Thanatos.
They will not be contesting the dragon,
so it will be the third straight internal here for Cod 9.
Not going to lie, I thought this one was going
to be closed out by now, but Sentinels
have been able to get a number of good picks
and have at least delayed the game.
Though I remain unconvinced that they've
changed the actual outcome at the end of the day.
You know, like game number one, where Cloud9 got a big early lead.
You thought they're for sure going to win.
And then Sentinels come back a little bit, make them work.
Yeah.
And same destination.
Yeah.
I mean, you're still down 10k, right?
And it's triple infernal dragon.
And now the IE is done for Sven.
So they're going to have their big ticket items.
GA is back up and ready as well for Blaber.
So I think Cloud9, you know, they had some oopsies,
but they didn't really get heavily punished for it.
So I feel like they're probably
going to regroup a little bit and probably
to close out this game on the next fight.
Or for sure going to be looking at the Baron play by the way in every place.
Yeah. I really feel like that was the moment.
If Sentals play that differently, like if Hell doesn't just dive in,
if you can kill Cloud9 to take the Baron, maybe you have a real chance in the game.
Yeah, that was some crazy stuff right there.
Because there are so many bounties to get as well.
Even?
It's like a thousand gold for killing Banatos, a thousand gold for killing APA.
Why also was even the call to turn off Baron in the first place when Cloud9 had it?
had it. I want to see like the HP when they turned onto full tank Kassate walking it, yeah.
They don't have a jungle. Yeah, the only thing I was thinking, I don't actually remember live,
was when he ulted Kassate, I was like, does he not have smite? I don't know if he didn't,
but that was the only thing that popped in my mind, is we've all been there where
your team is pinging Baron, you started the Baron, you're like, I don't have a smite
We got a turn yeah, and impact did a good job. He got the spell shield off and then
Oh, oh pulled it back further at the Zeke's so now I'm back to
Maybe gonna get picked off here looks like he has gone way too far
And this could be the beginning again trying to look for the angle does go all out
But can't find the angle on to
Vulcan even with the pathmaker couldn't get a setup
So now he dies and now the base may be broken here
Sent those were on the other side of map pushing up trying to see if Baron was being taken the cloud nine
We're looking for a pick yeah, and now you don't have anyone to answer the sidelines
So this is pushing there, and they're too many baron same time. All right, this one should be clean then
And going forward here way too far again as the flash and barrier out the barrier was even late
Just valced in under a hell's head and gets punished heavily for it and then
Really looking out of sorts man, and he was feeling super confident
goes right in. He got smacked. He didn't even get a sum off of Braille and now the Unleashed
power comes out, but it's looking not as powerful as Darkwings would have liked. Darkwings almost
kills off Lava, then gets absolutely one shot there. APA pushing top, all three waves are
coming in. This is a weird game. It's now on about going in, looking for a kill. They
will get Sven APA though. Gonna be able to put him right into the GA and look at
that oh my god that rise does damage does get sent back over the wall though as
Danos is now on to the nexus towers here this one this is a weird game man
we're one way ticket to we're crazy town crazy town we're in big damage town
if you and Danos both big damage yep and it's those Boston the needle we're
trying to get some damage down onto impact.
He's gonna hit him with a Pathmaker.
The Wild Growth comes through.
Vanitas is incredibly low, but there's the Paranoia
getting thrown out on a Rahel.
Rahel flashes back, but he's not safe.
He's knocked down by APA.
And back in a try to get the wave.
Try to keep them alive as he did kill off Vanitas.
Running away, breaks the fears
and they're there with the poolwork.
Bubble of a wall.
Breaks their ankles.
He's out.
You have to be immune by the Pathmaker
so they hold on again for a bit more time.
Yeah, I mean, look at that damage to the base, two inhibitors and a nexus tower down though.
Uh, cloud nine. I mean, first you gotta take care of business without crazy. This game has been. Get that dragon first.
Yep.
Then go finish the job. Just, you know, some crazy stuff could happen. So businesses is out the window.
Everybody.
The only thing they're focused on is shenanigans.
Shenanigans. All right.
They're not taking care of business.
I know.
Uh, the ship has sailed on business. Business, business had to be taken care of 10 minutes ago.
You missed the meeting. You got a fire and it can't be taken care of it not standing on it. Oh, you're not standing on it
Nope, they're gonna have to take this with a 13,000 gold lead dying over and over. Yeah business has not been handled
Honestly though, I still think it's a dub for them, you know, I do I still think it's a dub, but
Sentinels you've got a chance. Yeah
We're held and against well built a blade of room king now. So he's he's on
A wall creeper here a wall creeper. I don't know. He's creep. It was like hiding in the
Shutdown APA he's burst down with sped is getting so much damage on the other side paranoia
It's gonna get immune as Darkwing's win in the states as the scatter connects
Sven is dead, Holmbach is chasing them and Cloud9 are falling apart.
Impact will have to run from Thanatos, Vulcan and Blavver stand around for Holmbach and still looking for the fight.
They can actually get soul here, Brahel trying to kite.
Brahel is getting hit by the bubble over the wall, though. Vulcan with the big play does take down the enemy, and he carries.
But in comes Impact, he's all out, and Blavver does fall.
Now the teleport coming in here from Thanos trying to back up blabber the teleports gonna come in from dark wings as well
Thanos is looking for impact. Impact really doesn't have anything left at all
He's trying to survive and the scatter will keep him alive for now
Hombok is still here impact has TP. He's going back to base
He's trying to buy some time the nomi wave comes out
It does not interrupt him so the teleport will come through
Terrible way of getting it popped here from the teleport.
The flash out from Darkwing's does nothing as Impact does arrive.
Humbock trying to fight against Flabber.
Impact trying to make something happen here on the 3rd just doesn't have the damage.
The fear tether will land, but who he is back.
Humbock pops the Cyclone.
The base is dying.
The bubble lands.
Humbock falls and Cloud9 finally, finally you think might have done it.
Rahel is back, Pooey is alive, APA has killed Impact.
What is going on?
Just like the intro to Axis.
Rahel goes forward to get the shit out of the blabber,
but Thanatos kills the Nexus.
Cloud9 win a clean one.
Their voice rise, they're unbothered,
and they're on match points.
Who done it?
It's Thanatos at the Nexus with the scissors.
He gets the kill that matters holy just like they drew that play up okay. Yeah nice smooth end of the game
You got the dragon soul coming onto the map. So what I was talking about with the wall creeper
But was APA's position on the wall, you know behind the fog the fog of war at the edge of the wall creep
It was walking walking. I'm like, oh, I see something here. Hey, I'll paint a little picture. He was lurking like, you know from
CS or Valo or something. Creeping sounds way worse than lurking, but they're both not good.
You don't want to be creeping or lurking, but rather be lurking than creeping.
Creep your way up to that computer and look at the...
I think we're going to skip that. We're just going to creep our way to a commercial break.
Because we want to get a little time to chow down. We're going to eat some snacks.
We are here are our solo Bolo
But it is a it is a weird game
I mean the gold graph looks like it was a dominating win for cloud nine, but they got so far ahead early
They struggled to close it out that one was not a confidence builder Bob are gonna win player of the game here
honestly
Could have gone any of them who knows?
But it went to blabber. Oh it's blabber. Congratulations to the jungler
Well done. We're gonna go to break and then we'll be back to see if cloud nine close out this series
I can make it, I can make it
I've got a voice up there
I'm out of here
Ah!
Oh my god
Come in, come in
I got you
Yeah
Sooner, cut us up
Uh oh
Awesome, all right
Well take it
Yeah, where's the top, where's the 2nd tier?
Down, oh peace
Vision
Fighting fighting
I'm taking, I'm taking
Yeah, go for it, I'm taking
I'm going to push, I'm going to push
Go, go, push, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Yeah, guys, I'm going to go
Yeah, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
You guys are going to go, it's going to go
Just go, it's going to go
Oh, I'm down!
Shut down the flash, shut down the flash, do you hit?
I go center too?
Yeah, yeah, go go go go, good, good.
I'm going to ask an asset.
Alright guys, we're doing well, just no one died at big time or not.
It's soul condition so, this place low, we can't lose now.
Yeah, okay.
So, don't be greedy.
I'm being greedy as we speak.
W, W, great.
Yeah, I'm going to push, I'm going to go center now.
I'm getting, I'm getting.
Yo, no, no, we can't hit, center can see us.
Help, help, okay, I'm going to push.
I'm going to push, I'm going to push.
Go back down, we're going to center, is that right there?
we
I
and I'm going to show you how
Wallace no notes. There was squeaking. There was a lot of squeaking that's us
was squeaking squeaking on them as well. Yeah our game the games are very back
and forth but the same thing was true in game number one is game number two cloud
nine got the early lead. They got this really big advantage. This one was a
little different because it was gold for cloud nine but Sentomus were still
getting dragons. And so there was a world where that crazy end of the game had gone
a little bit differently for Sentinels to be able to get dragon soul and defend their
base and then like be able to deal with the super minions. And I mean, we're very close
to this being like two one the other way. Yeah. So Sentinels cloud nine here, this
best of five, I predicted five games, like it might still get to five games. Yeah,
I'm not right now is on series point, but sentinels that they make us a couple small adjustments
I could be them pushing us to game number five and silver scrapes. Yeah, I agree and it's one of those games where
five nine one, but
It doesn't build confidence. We got like more questions
Yeah, you really do because they were so far ahead for so long
And it just seemed like they were really struggling to close out the game even with you know
11,000 gold lead for a very long time. They really did struggle to close it out. I mean, it literally came down to them just
Killing the Nexus and not even taking the fight at the end, right?
so definitely a bit of a weird situation for them and
Well, how does he out by nine looks coming into this next game? I mean Seminals there on your screen
Looking pretty happy still for Helen who he obviously having a happy laugh. They go. They're looking good
I'm looking on the other side, though, looking like he's in a pretty good mood, too.
So I still think it really could go either way.
Move check both sides, then.
Move check both sides.
Everybody's still chilling.
They were having fun in the end of that game.
You know, it was chaotic and scrappy, but...
So, Sendal's going to win this one, too.
I'm really interested to see what happens with A.B.H.
Jimby Boul, since that clearly has been their strategy.
In his last game, he just played Ryze.
Yeah, Ryze looked good.
They didn't really accomplish much of anything with that, but they all are going to maintain
a lot of mid lane bans.
expecting Tildea again going to be getting banned out as that third ban for
Sentinels and that's been the strategy the whole way through in game two it
really did work well with that victory versus a so matchup in game three not so
much but in game three C9 did not lock their mid lane pick false the second
round they just did it in the first three. Yeah we're getting down into the
like Cassiopeia, Galio, Leblanc all these kinds of types of mid-lane
champions here that are that can be effective when used in the
You know correct scenarios. Yeah. Yeah ways another one. That's kind of just like generic. Yeah dark wings obviously has this big car special
They didn't ban to lia which is very very interesting. So sentinels have first picks that they're saying you have to ban to lia
Oh, we're gonna take it. We'll gladly take that. Yeah, because if they do push it to a game number five
They'd also rather be it be fearless fans for the next one as well. Yeah. Yeah, no
I mean it makes a lot of sense and so it's gonna need to decide now
Are we okay giving over to lia and they are?
So they couldn't get Celia over and play, play Galio away, whatever, and just some sort
of answering matchup.
I don't think, generally, Celia is not a champion that super punishes you in lane.
It's more about the combos that it has.
And a lot of its best pairings are banned out, right?
Already gone from Fearless because Vi has been played.
We can see that Antion has been gone.
Jarvan, Wukong, those are kind of like the tier below those.
Those are already gone.
So there's not a ton of kind of like that point and click CC that is still remaining,
except for him support really.
Yeah, so C9, do we grab like Zin?
And I mean, you could go a lot of ways still into the Taliyah,
but like the Galio I was mentioning,
or there are others like spicier ones.
Oh, well, where's Trundle?
Is Trundle not?
Trundle's banned, they banned Trundle.
There we go, okay.
Trundle's banned, so the sign looks very good, bud.
Yeah, does look very good.
And it would be again, a denial, right?
You know, we talked about that.
You're talking about that for for a VA side with the Toledo take away the same is true for him back keep late
Because that day last game now sign is gone
Orn is really the only other tank that people are playing much these days in the top lane that is
Stopping available, but I guess to Calioteu, but that's more situational for sure
Yeah, not too much left to punish it
All right, let's see. Do we want to grab jungle? I
Guess we're just gonna slam the Ari instead early
Hmm.
RE?
RE to me is one of these picks where I think people are pretty opinionated one way or the
other.
I tend to not be a fan of RE.
I just feel like, again, if you don't have setup, it is very unreliable.
If you can hit everything, great, you can be really, really effective, but it can be
quite difficult.
The Spear Rush obviously can get stunned up on the Unraveled Earth from Taliyah,
and Sahen as he is.
But the W is effective.
So the W is pretty effective for this.
And some people do like going for, especially if they do get a good jungle pick to bear with it.
Tronflash on that Taliyah. Look for the kills yourself.
I guess the question is what is the pairing that you're going to look for, right?
If Zin is taken here or banned away, then what does Blap or go towards?
You need an AD jungle pairing, but we are getting down in a lot of the less popular ones, right?
I thought this is a really good 2-3-4 sentinels, because...
The hand is a denial too.
The hand is a down.
It's a jungle.
So, so the Zin is gone. I mean, Eatrox is still available. Grace, Grace Ari sounds horrible.
There's just no way. I'm looking through all the champions that he hasn't played yet.
He has like, of champions that he has.
Perfect! This is good into the Zin. And it's AD assassin. This is actually the
perfect answer. Okay.
That's cool.
Kha'Zix in to Zen. Kha'Zix is very good right now because Umbro Glaive is Bustado man. This thing is so strong. The extra damage when you go unseen is just perfect for Kha'Zix.
They had to nerf Kha'Zix on this patch as well. So he got some compensation nerfs, but he's still very good.
and especially into Zen like when later you can get to the game after a Kozaks has his ultimate
it's just hard for him to walk anywhere on the map and face check brush anymore because you lose the 1v1
if i was sentinels i would be thinking about ranata i feel like it's so much single target
damage from c9 um that if c9 aren't going to ban that away it's like great your kozaks jumps in
your re charm flashes and then bail out and hostile takeover jhin stole jinx's rocket launch
That's kind of OP.
That is crazy OP.
If you could combine them and Jinx for your AD carry.
That'd be nuts.
So yeah, I don't know if they're going to be thinking about those kind of denial picks
or not.
I mean, Renata, I always feel like I put a higher priority on Renata in my mind than
pros put on it in reality.
Some pros really do like to go towards it, but it doesn't seem to be that popular
generically.
I do just think that it's really strong here.
Instead they're going to target some of the more safe AD carries.
Of course Ezreal is already gone.
And now they're going to be banning out the Lucian as well as the Ziyah, so they're saying
clearly we're playing Ziyah, we have Kha'zix, Ari, we need to be able to get on their AD
carries and force them onto something that is relatively low mobility, something that
is quite vulnerable.
And so the question becomes, does Sentinels have something kind of in their bag that
is a little bit more safe?
There are obviously less popular picks that you can go towards that are a bit more safe.
like the Tristana sometimes people go towards the head's buster shot and one
off but I think you can always go Jin. Jin is another option that people look at
it's kind of like a safe option for the Sentinel side when you're playing against
some of these these assassin type comps but most of the kind of like prime
safe AD carries are already. Yeah all the ones with a lot of mobility that's
I think that I think that Jin is the only problem with Jin is then you're
playing Jin into Sion. Yeah. And that is a problem. That's pretty hard to kill.
So you do have like, you know, Zahed and Zunzal on your team already, so you've got some good conqueror stacking.
Man, I like Renata even more now because Renata then would be a good denial.
Yeah.
Because Renata Kalista is so powerful, and I do feel like Renata goes so hard against Cloud9's comp.
It's basically all single target damage and all short range.
Yeah.
They could just go like rel MF.
I mean, if you're going to go MF, you're probably not going Renata.
You're probably instead just going some sort of ADCC.
You need some CC, some comp there with it.
with it. And they do need like main engage anyway. You've got right now you just have you prep your cues on Zahen and on Zin.
All we're doing is prep and cues and like flashing or dashing in. So we need some main engage on the side for Sentinels.
Yeah, I will say C9 Comp is either going to look really good or really bad because I think if you get ahead enough, then you there's
a Renata that is going to be drive by C9. But if you get ahead enough, you're going to be one shot in carries and it's going to look really,
really powerful, but that being said,
team fighting as Kha'Zix, Ari and Kalista
into Unraveled Earth, Crescent Guard, the Nautilus CC,
the Grim Deliverance and AOA CC and stuff from this team
feels really, really difficult.
And even I can see a lot of scenarios later on in the game
if you are not very far ahead,
where you one shot Rahel, but to do it,
you're running through Zahen and Taliyah and Xin Zhao
and you're just dying.
So I'm a little bit worried for them.
Yeah, I mean Sentinels have a lot of very powerful tools, I feel like.
Unless Cloud9 can use their mobility, like you have so many dashes with
Cossacks with Aria with Kalista, if you can use your mobility well,
like before you get Nautilus ulted and then there's a Taliyah rock
field under you, then it can look good.
But I think Sentinels, I got a lot of very nice tools here.
Yeah, I agree.
I like Sentinels draft a lot more.
So we'll see if it does end up working out for them.
And of course, Kha'NiN definitely gonna have some power themselves.
I mean they should have a really dominating bot lane 2v2, right?
You know, you're playing Kalista Renata into the MF Nautilus.
I think that is gonna be very difficult for the Nautilus to really do anything here.
If you go forward and you get handshuck out of your hook, you're just gonna get
chased down.
And in my opinion, they have a really good mid jungle 2v2 also.
So I think that as long as you can get your Kha'zix to level 6, like you're just camping
around mid lane and then you're constantly threatening, hitting these charms with Ari
and putting pressure on mid and then if Zin ever comes to help, your Kha'zix already waiting
there in the brush, dudes get isolated damage on him and Zin can't escape.
Well, that'll be pretty tough for Hombok if it does end up happening.
So we'll see how Blabber can perform.
It's the first time for him bringing out
Cossacks this year.
I'm sure he's played it in the past.
It's obviously been a popular pick in the past.
But I'm going to look up actually how many times
he has played it, if he has at all.
Let's get that.
The Blabber career win rate on the Cossacks.
Again, it's just so good into Zen.
75% for games.
Sounds pretty good.
That's pretty good.
Not a lot of games, though.
That's surprising.
Yeah, it's obviously a niche pick.
It's mostly counterpick, a lot of times, actually specifically in the Zen, but I think the current state of this champion is actually so good, with the Umbul Glaive.
Umbul Glaive was basically buffed to be specifically really good for Cossacks with the extra unseen damage.
It was quite powerful, nice hook immediately there from who he is, Barrier going to be popped, but they're going to take a good trade back as they go aggressive.
So it is the barrier for the heel at the end of the day,
who he trying to find an angle there though,
and it's pretty effective.
You know, you have the aftershock,
so you want to try to look for those sorts of moves.
It's just always very difficult in the extended play.
You've got to be really careful.
Yeah.
Fulken gang's some good poke here, though,
while Sven just pushes the wave,
so that's all the stuff for Claude and I,
and when Sentinels are just like strafing back
and forth, taking it.
Yeah.
I mean, pretty much not much you can do to contest.
There's no way you're hooking back in
when you're already kind of low and you have no aftershock.
So you have to be super, super careful.
They also have to combat some advantage
because they have heal barrier versus the cleanse heal.
So that is gonna make it really tough.
But cleanse, you basically have to pay the tax
when you're playing as Renata as an ADC.
So he does kind of have to take that,
but in these early lane phases,
the cleanse is gonna do almost nothing for you.
Like sure you can cleanse that handshake stun,
but they can just kill Hoohi if he hooks in.
So you do have to be pretty careful.
See how impact performs now on this did look good last time. He actually brought out those ahead
I think that was this series was a few days ago. It was in a loss, but he was actually doing really really well against Korea
Meanwhile both junglers pathing towards bottom, but they've both been
Pseudo tracked and one of them even closer than the others because Darkwing's got the extra raptor wards
So they have like perfect timing on tracking blabbers rest of his clear and
Meanwhile cloud nine have
Almost as good tracking on sin going down to bomb side to so
Both should be aware and since C9's bottom lane also pushing. I
Think it should just be humbok going to handshake and trade to top side scuttle crab
Just give up the bottom one
You never want to let
Cosics get any extra early advantages my seismic shove there in on the APA who is put quite low humbok
Trying to pull back is there any things on him looks like no
He stirred the vision so wasn't spotted as he walks through mid lane
So we'll be able to grab that topside schedule
Of course cloud nine will know about it and then it does took an early recall did actually elect a TP
I'm kind of surprised. I thought he would have just actually walked it back
Given that you know, he did have the full push prior to that
But now has impacted a bit of an awkward spot when you are in the spot at the top laner though
You want to try to trade as much as you can without dying obviously
And then you TP back because if you can take off a couple hundred health
And you come back at full health and you can sometimes win out the lane from there
Yeah, and it backs up standing actually quite nicely on Zahen.
But if he kicks ganked, it could turn around. Is this just a hover for a gank the other way?
Looks like they're going to go for it here. Impact. Nice dash to the side.
Will avoid the decimating smash. So I'm not going to get knocked up.
It means Barbara can't really look for much of anything,
but I was kind of just waiting on respawns.
So not going to really slow him down too much.
Be a bit delayed in the start of the Grom, but it's not going to matter.
Yeah, you have time because you're because your wolves are the late anyways, and he's anyone Johnson destroys destroys grump anyway
But I do like kind of hovering just to look for it. See if they're if you can get anything
Maybe maybe there's a misplay or something. Yep. I always think it's worth the attempt and when you can be efficient
Some of these junglers clear so fast these days
They always have these kind of windows of opportunity to look for something briefly without really paying any price impact
getting pretty low here, but
Thanatos, you know low on mana so that's kind of what he's draining here and impact still has a TP
So I think that if this is gonna push this in maybe try to greed for a plate
But then definitely gonna be heading back to base here
Just taking another reset because you don't want to get stuck in lane as Thanatos with no mana when it back still has TP
Yeah, definitely not it like it's impact spy is gonna be very good when he comes back
Well blabber should know he's there right he saw he saw the vision blank
I mean through so he's gonna place down the ward
Humbot gets the jump on Blabber, and Blabber has to hop back out to safety.
The dragon is spawned. Blabber definitely wants to do it. I mean, you're Kha'Zix with a super
strong bot lane, including Kalista. But Darkwingz does have first move here from mid.
Level 6 is available for both of these mid laners. Blabber is taking quite a lot of
damage here, and APA gets hit by a seismic shove, so Darkwingz landing a good chunk
on him, and a nice side step on the charm as well. The spear's targeting stack,
but APA is low, Flabber is low.
C9 I think have lost this.
Flabber's gonna have to jump out the back of the pit.
The hook comes there from who he in on the Vulcan.
Darkwing sets a flash out on the side though,
throws down the unraveled Earth on APA.
APA has a couple more all charges
looking to go forward who he has to flash out.
So even with a good start to the fight,
Cloud9 end up coming out on top.
Yeah, I think Flabber's confidence there is correct,
that they're gonna have the advantage regardless.
That's why he just like, you know,
and walks up and even taking this chunk really wants to force the issue still though
There were some fancy dodges that maybe second guess
I thought maybe it actually is gonna turn back around but that's a like that's why he was so confident
It's like we are forcing this we are you know, we are
We're gonna get to the next person with cause excuse plus friend
Yeah, and since it's his bottom lane has it has the extra upper hand and is gonna move up and closer or not
It's just nasty in the river here
They have full confidence, especially with APA having RE ult, but no RE ult now?
No, maybe they do like repeat focus towards mid lane.
Of course, it is the spellbook for Darkwings there, who did dodge that critical charm to avoid some of it, but...
Still lost his flash, which is going to hurt, so you have to be careful.
There's not any super reliable engage for C9.
I mean, obviously there's ways to start fights.
So you can look for charms.
You can send in Sion.
You can throw in the Renata and look for also takeover,
things like that.
But there's not any consistent go-by on their side.
So sentinels, I think, if they are playing careful,
will have the luxury of choosing kind of when
and where they fight.
Yeah, and the thing for Cloud9
is they get there early, right?
You go to the dragon early, and then you
force them to face check into your Renata
and into your charms and stuff.
And you also make it hard for Zin to walk on the map.
Now we're starting to get to the early scary points,
post-level six here,
because level six, that's almost nothing.
Wait a second.
Oh, bullet time comes out.
Fake call has to be used.
Zven was kind of greeting a little bit for the plate,
but took a couple shots as he was retreating,
and then who he just hits a nice hook.
So good job there from Raquel,
and who he's just trying to keep the pressure on.
Pantos, though, is kind of owning in this 1v1.
He's doing really well.
had the early push, got a quick base.
Has that impact locked under his tower?
He's up 300 gold in the scion matchup,
which is very, very good.
When he blind picked this,
it's a denial pick from impact
and impact on counterpicks.
So great job with Thanatos.
Yeah, Thanatos again, another good lane phase.
Again though, the Zin, like for hot box position,
you have to play through lanes and into skirmishes
because you just get demolished in one V1s.
Oh, there it is, a charred flash.
Charm is going to be able to connect there and Darkwing's has nowhere to go.
First blood going to be graphed by Blabber as he jumps in to follow up the charm from
APA.
They didn't even have to flash.
There's ult and close the distance and you get your Cosic's camping mid lane.
Who he is behind him and Hallbox coming in.
This is a good trap.
Who he has been in that brush for so long, the flash out comes from his back, Vulcan
is going to have to flash as well.
Great job from Whoohi.
They knew there was a ward in that front brush.
He stayed in that middle brush for I want to say a minute.
He was there for a long time.
Yeah, we were talking a lot about greed being a deadly sin, but patience is a virtue and
who has that in spades.
Nice.
Gave there for a while, it gets paid, but the bigger payment is to Blabber.
Again, Kozaks versus Zen is so unfair, especially if you get accelerated to your humble glaive.
Honbukh though, like, I mean, you have your mid laner right behind you and there's
It's coming to charm flash comes out onto who he also take over they kill him in a hurry
But now can they win the extended fight hotbox looking in for Sven besides we shop will connect the bailout is there
But it's not gonna do anything
Vulcan is gonna get walked down and knocked down as he said back to base with a rock to the face
Blabber was in base. I flip APA has no flash. He could get taken out as well last auto doesn't come through
But Blabber pounces and makes no mistake about that one the umbral slave is there
Flash is forced on the seismic jump. Do they want to look for a dive here? They're considering it
He has been put quite low but Sentinels will back off. Oh my goodness so close at the end
So does get the extra one so I mean the assassin is snowballing
But then that was that was honestly a pretty good start
for the bottom lane. I can't feel so unbalanced here. All these flashes are blown so you have
better flash economy on sentinels but still better gold on top of that. They were setting
up their own brush play, APA in the bush, so he's there for the early burst skill plus.
Then when Humbot comes down, they get the full combo, nicely done on his back, get
the knock up get the sight of show back and get the extra kill this though using
your a lot of sizing shows without any set up dark rings did a great job I mean
hit the sizing jump on the stand hit the fall of one there then he had another
one that was gonna land off live a force of flash too so yeah dark rings
honestly on point in that fight I'm doing a really good job
ooh all right dragon time this is what cloud line are bill for they have the
Comfort but who he is just gonna free up the play flashes in on a blabber
But there's no follow-up at all where hell has to flash over the wall as Statham's was already there with the unstoppable onslaught and
They don't want anything to do with that
But now the teleport is gonna be coming in from impact
He's looking for a potential deep flank in goes home on pops aggressive guard immediately
There's the fake calls that is in trouble. He's getting knocked up the bullet time
It's gonna knock down APA in the grid deliverance will deliver C9 a team fight loss
Thanos is on the run, but Kenny even get out of here. He has the flash, but he's got no ult, no TP.
It's gonna take him a while, but they're definitely gonna get the kill.
Sentinels take back the gold lead, build one of their own, and win the dragon to boot.
Dude, who he is, the mastermind, drew it all up. He gets Blabber's ult charged for the Cossacks,
and then Blabber's on dragon still DPSing it down until Port finally comes in from impact on a good timing.
They wrecked them. Blabber was still trying to finish the dragon. Then he didn't even get the smite.
Honbok stole it after he had done so much work there. They get all the kills. They get the objective too.
So okay.
Cosics without the ult and without the jump. So even though it looks like oh my goodness, you know,
Nautilus just flashed and like there's no follow-up.
Now two key abilities are down for the Cosics and they come in. Roof Force, Honbok into the middle, into the ult.
impact with the flank from the other side and look at that combo.
That's just beautifully done.
APA gets hit by the hook.
He didn't even use his ult in that fight.
I'm not sure if it was up when he actually got hooked
or if it just came up as he was dying and then catch that,
but he gets hooked, he gets burst down.
So even though Rahel has no flash,
didn't matter because they were the ones on the offense.
They were the ones pushing in and creating that space for him.
And doing a really good job with it.
Claude and I felt like they were dominating in both the side lanes,
have all the early pressure,
But again, they fall short at this fight and now in fact, oh my god that damage from blabber is insane
Goes back into the void assault here looking to try to finish him off catches the bailout just in case
We'll be able to get the shutdown blabber continuing to get paid here now up 1k
But where hell is up to K? Oh my god
Yeah, they got a shut down in the last fight as well as the street time
They're like trading bottom for topside
So bunch of tower money bunch of minions three kills do his name
misfortune of course can be a target
Later on as well with some of these some of the pick potential, but
But we're held grabster start so 2.5 KF
Already have the BT and he's gonna have a ton of gold to spend now
curious to see what he'll be able to buy. His APA of course does stay safe there in
the mid lane. Lockets completed now on both side for the supports. Most of the
IE purchased up here from Rahel. He got the BF as well as a pickaxe, so gonna be
incredibly strong. MF has really huge AD scaling on the bullet time, so really
you kind of just want to stack BF items and he is off to a great start. I mean
if he can get that fully channeled it is going to shred through the cloud nine
members besides Thanatos and Thanatos can't block that. It goes right through you.
Honestly, I think we're going to a game five, man. I think so too.
It's very early, but because of the comps here, because Sentinels are able to win that Dragon
fight and stop any sort of early game push from Cloud9.
It's hard to play. I think Sentinels have such a good spot.
I agree. I like Sentinels comp way more out of draft. Look at that double tap,
by the way, on his Zen, about 40% of his HP. I like their comp way more in draft. I think
It's way easier to pilot and if C9 aren't very far ahead then it's gonna be tough
and they were very far ahead in the early game, but
These teamfights they just do not seem to be organized
And it's not really been getting better for them here this week as they seem to be struggling with a lot of the same issues
Yeah, it's for cloud nine
I feel like it has been a lot of like you say similar issues where it's not always dragon
But it's always like some early objective
They get some advantage and then they go start the objective up, but they don't have the plan for
When the enemy team is coming to contest them on it and in this case maybe they didn't expect them to contest after like the flash was blown and the Nautilus and everything like that, but they have to be ready for these approaches because it's happened a lot on rift heralds for them, grubs sometimes even.
Yeah, I mean to me it came down so much to setup. If you're Cloud9 and you're on that dragon, we'll see if they look for a fight here, but if you're Cloud9 and you're on that dragon we were all going to come in there to flash forward.
forward. It's called Wilphor
McBlaver just hugging the wall there does stay safe.
So nicely avoided on the engage,
but Harold's going to come out here,
and they will claim them to be a tier one.
I don't think anything more is going to come for this,
but who he is stepping forward barely does not connect on the hook.
The side push up is going to get flashed over by Vulcan,
as well as the handshake,
and the ox will take over.
Nice play there from Vulcan.
And it comes in the air on the side,
where Hela is gone and Cloud9 knocked down Sentinels
in a hurry.
They flank from all sides.
That was really beautiful over the raptor pit from behind as well
See not attacking from all angles with multiple assassins and with the flash and Renata ultimate
From Vulcan here like Noah's cape like that was it was beautiful
That's what I was gonna say about the dragon fight though is okay. This kind of cop. That's how you win a fight
Yeah, so how do you win a fight when Ari and Kha'zix are both in front of you hitting the dragon?
You just don't right because then Nautilus walks forward the hen walks forward Zinn walks forward and you are running from them
You can't win fights like that so to me you know it comes back to what you're talking about cloud nine
You know gets advantages, but then is not having the proper setup
You know if they're playing it if you thought they would have worked but this time really nice stuff here
I assume you want it to try to get a little bit something more and I just love this from Vulcan
Flashy aggressive over the side of the show. Yeah over the side of the show
Hand shakes him back towards him throws the ultimate don't mean even tax not a listen. They get the double
from Thanatos with shutdowns going into APA's hands.
He needed that money here for the RRA
to have some extra real threat on this champ
so he can get to those kill thresholds.
I mean, that was super, super clean from Thanatos as well.
The long range ulti comes in from the side,
nails him right on the timing.
That was very well-coordinated from Cloud9.
Everything hit at the same time.
That's exactly what you-
They're playing from three, almost four angles
if you consider Raptor pit and mid lane as, you know,
two more, so.
Opus Vendo has been found.
This has been a habit for Zven, unfortunately, in this series.
Does Barry try to jump away?
Flash is from the Grim Deliverance,
but impact has the Flash to follow.
Zven getting picked off again in the mid lane.
Yeah.
Having a bunch of times now.
Certainly has.
What does it mean this time around?
I guess it's two pushing lanes for Sentinels.
His APA goes for it.
Yeah, and he does nail the charm.
The orbit reception is there.
Spear rush forward.
Flash to follow.
Looking to finish him off.
needs one more auto does get it and gets the level up. So it's going to survive as who he
face plants into the wall. The wall will regret messing with who he there is APA going to try
to get away.
Oh, the wall is, oh, the wall is dunking on him, bro. He can't, he hits it when he doesn't
want to. Then he doesn't hit it when he does want to. Those walls are shifting. You
never know where they're going to be. These walls are just moving all over the place.
What is that? Isn't there some more of the walls have eyes or something like that?
But this is the walls have left legs because they're moving.
They're shifting.
The walls got hands.
Alright, well I still killed there for APA.
He does get one on to Dark Wings and that's created a little advantage for himself.
So now it is not just Blaber with that edge.
Yeah.
Try snowball a little, stack up that Dark Seal even more.
You know, every little bit really counts with this team comp
because you don't have a lot of extra damage.
So you need to get your kill thresholds here for Cloud9.
Look at the ADC inventory.
That is sad if you were a Cloud9 fan.
He's got his blade, but he just has pieces of the rageplate.
And you already have IE Bloodthirster and Double Long Sword on top.
So that is a very, very powerful rel.
And Hombok going to jump right in onto Blabber.
Blabber did take the blue buff.
The Hombok could be in the double pops, the credit card.
But the bullet time over the wall knocks down Blabber in a hurry.
Noss will take over just for disengaging.
APA trying to run for the hails here.
As Sentinels punish the invade,
the tower was knocked down at the same time by Tentatosa.
Yeah, Hombok doing a nice job,
waiting for the rest of the team to be close enough
so that they can actually fight,
knowing, you know, this Kha'Zix is gonna wanna try
and go for the kill.
So they punish Blabber, get the kill,
and get right back to pushing.
Mid lane push, top side push.
Sentinels here
We're making good case for themselves
Yep, I can't like man. This Kalista
I'm gonna do a lot. No, this is looking useless. I mean, it's really just 10 cloud nine one shot DMF
That's kind of that's kind of your hope
But I do always feel like it's so tough compositionally because when you have to full send everything over hell
Or you just kind of auto lose then it's so easy for Sentinels to play around that and their countering gauge can be really really powerful
because Kozak's and Ari cannot just walk past the Zahen and the Nautilus and everyone else.
They're the flash forward from Hui. The Faze call comes out, but the depth charge connects onto Zven
and he is dead in mid lane once again and now there are pings here over onto the Baron.
We'll see if they actually want to commit to that. That would be pretty risky,
but they're going to start it up. I can see Zim just dash onto it on the minimap.
Yeah, beautiful from Hui. He knows, yeah, you can ult the Renata,
But then I just use my old on this van. They get it now on the Baron looking for the turn here
Are they gonna force the side on teleport? Yep
There's the TP who he on the side is gonna spot it coming in
Darklings and who he trying to position to zone them away for hell far back in the pit. They got it
No contest. There's no way the blabber can even get over there at this point
So that is gonna be grabbed now the charm is gonna land in on the impact
But cloud nine just need to run for it send those get a pick get the Baron and they can look
Easy at 20 minutes.
There's supposed to be hard to take. Yeah
It's not that hard when you're that far ahead
I guess now caught on a game desperate. You could tell they're like, all right
Everybody go into a brush five members into a side brush
everybody fanatic brush time
Lookin looking rough they do still have a dragon advantage
But not for long as symbols are first there and should be able to grab this dragon here, too
They have the Baron buff. They've already created a big advantage. Rahel soon is going to have his LDR
So he's gonna be on three items and punching through what Dantos has built up as well
I mean Talport's going out to the top side too, so
Cloud9 right now is trying to scrape together any opportunities. I guess
Again, if you make some plays on side lanes before the team is there, but look at all the pings from Sentinels
Yeah, they're gonna look for the wall they have the weavers wall and there it goes who he coming in behind them
All of sentinels are here blabber immediately flashed over the wall tries to go and visit run away
But who he is behind and here comes a depth charge in on the APA APA using this bear rush to get away
Well has to let blabber stay behind and pay the price the bug gets squashed
Five nine do take a tower mid lane the sentinels with another nice aggressive play. Yeah, I caught on it
like they're desperate right there just trying to scramble on the map it's too
hard to fight into your face so we scramble on the sidelines try and create
some openings they get caught they get pinched on that side everyone else is
keep pushing though push push push push try and make the most of it
you'll knock down tier two there take away the blue buff big way really this
whole topside jungle and now you can see who he hanging in toward the mid
lane tier two looking to get more with this baron buff that is still
active for a full minute.
My mind trying to threaten,
APA is on the side, not spotted.
But, Ui is just gonna go for it,
takes the ball, gonna be used charm thrown out,
but it is just onto Ui, he's gonna be knocked up.
But in goes Hanbaki, he's looking for Sven,
the Crescent Guard, it's used to also take over there,
as well as the bulldog, getting channeled out,
pushing Blavver back, he gets hit by the flick.
But Sivak is going forward, the bailout is gonna get popped,
then Sven is gonna get knocked down by it back.
The Grim Deliverance takes him out.
Sendals are just still marching on the base 30 seconds left on the buff.
APA goes forward on a Darkwing. Flash is forced.
We're help tanking up four Darkwings.
Sendals will have to retreat. APA wants to keep looking but there's just no way for him to do so.
Cloud9 could do nothing to stop Sendals.
They're going to poke around. Maybe delay some recalls.
Nobody else can pass on it.
So even with the desynced on the recalls,
Yeah, there's not a lot that they could do about it at this point
You just keep on getting pushed in and cornered in your own base impact really nice dive from him when he came in with his teleport shield
It's kind of face tanks goes right in he hit the dreaded return first on his vent and then instantly ults in to go finish the kill
Yeah, really well done. You will put that pressure on and
Knocking down's been it was had a really tough game. Yeah down almost 4k individually now
It's still pretty much the entire lead is just for hell
But that is a good place to have the gold is caught nine and not been able to access him
Really whatsoever and he does have the flash up and available for the next flight here
Santos is getting pushed back and Raquel will arrive with who he and they are just cutting through this power so quickly
Yeah, I mean APA still pushing top lane and
He I'm assuming is his empowered recall up
But he doesn't have his teleport so
trying to get one more wave you know script together any few more pennies on
the rift head back to the penny store see what you can buy he does have one
needlessly large rod but he would have to like sell a ring to be able to fill
in something else yeah I didn't have the goal for it the charm does land on a
humbug nice little chunk on to him but not too much to write home about his
humbug will just be able to yield back up on this and even without this mic
does secure the crab for himself. APA tried to seal that away but now APA maybe
has overstayed his welcome. The lever is all going to come in. APA does get blocked
off but Darkwing's jumped off on the wrong side of it. Maybe he didn't have the
confidence wondering if C9 could be in that rush. Bulk can get a look here.
Hostile takeover does come out but no one's really there to follow. And Darkwing
gets chumped down. APA on the side. Humbuck jumps forward onto him. There's the
big call coming in and Sven gets flicked back but the shutdown comes
across on the right hell. Darkwing tip knocked down as well. Blabber's in the back line and
it's chaos in the Sendos front line as Impact will fall to his vent. You can see though,
Honbox still fighting, trying to get something back does kill off Blabber. It is now just
who he alive. As C9 finds a fight, the charm connects so does the knock up. They're
ready to knock him down as well. They're trying to delay a bit, but not too long
as they get the kill, get some gold and maybe this can allow them away into the
the game once again I wonder if they should have delayed longer that I mean
this dragon dragon and Baron are so close to coming up but like not only to
reset to though yeah true not all his death timer is pretty low because he's
support so yeah so I mean he's gonna be he'll respond like at the time of the
dragon wonder if his death gap oh great yeah and 10 stacks 10 stacks okay so
So, Lootis were not ulti. They charm MF and then impact ults and they get, or dance as
ults and they get the, the, uh, scion ult to get right onto the misfortune. They delude
this misfortune so early in the T-fight. Charm from APA, beautiful setup and then
Danitos, boom.
If you played the MF fight really well too, uh, Sven was down to, I want to say,
100 HP maybe, got the barrier out, and exactly, the charm came through and hit
He barely survives.
In fact, also can't stack up his passive because he got charmed.
And now C9 rushing down this dragon will be able to secure it.
They'll move to sole point.
Thaneto's front lining here.
I don't think this is a fight that C9 really wants.
In comes Darkwing.
So Thaneto gets blocked off by the weaver as well.
He's just getting focused down now.
C9 can't really provide any support.
The hook comes forward.
The hostile takeover used just to disengage.
Without that tool, I wonder if Centenal just runs straight to Baron.
Yeah, no Renata ult now for the teamfight.
is a critical one so they're gonna try and force here see if they can bait they're still
controlling on so you're gonna have to clear out a few of these words before you bait
yeah it's gonna be a bit tough then it has no tp did lose about 30% of his health there but
still pretty healthy and was able to grab a honey fruit or two as blabber spotted on that control
ward has to be careful dark wings is coming in and blabber is not really reacting does get
stunned as he hops out but secures the blue and stays safe and now sentinels on the
the Baron here. Okay they see him jump and smite and they're gonna go for it. They
burned it down quickly last time. It is going down very quickly. Still no
obstacle takeover. They get fishing on it. It's down to 6k. Let's see if APA can
find someone on the side. He's hunting. He wants to get Rahel. Nice dash back
from impact. Avoids the charm and the orbit is extra though. And that is a lot
of the threat gone now. Blavver though is over the side here trying to
position for a potential steal. But Sendals have stopped hitting the
Baron. They are pulling back. Blavver is behind them. And it also regent a
much too. They backed off like that. Oh, Flabberg and Bizz is going to be able to hit onto Darkwing.
Darkwing's in some trouble. Has to flash out. Impact and Humbug in the front line. They're
going to start around on a fan. They're just trying to hook him down alongside for Hal, who
still has his bullet time available. APA looks to the charm, but he does not connect. Who
he will fall though. APA with the reset is going to look for one more. Flabberg
flashes forward. The Orbs are going to cross multiple members of the charm as well.
In on the Humbug. He is down. They have no jungle. It's another reset now for APA.
He gets the bailout for the boost speed he's looking for the charm is going to be sized up there by impact as impact is trying to take this fight
He has nowhere to go though in gum status the grim deliverance does not even land who dies in the air
It's duck hunt for C9 and now Baron is next on the menu. Holy clutch from cloud nine this fight
They dissect sentinels pulling them apart
Part, Flabber goes in. He's so annoying with his Cossacks poking them, causing the desync on the recalls here.
They get them really spread out and then they're good engaged.
I feel like APA is actually really showing up in this fight.
He's been smurfing the last few. He's really, really smurfed. I mean, this one going in, he flashes forward.
He ends up getting the charm onto Hombox to kill enemy Jungle.
Here's another look at it. Flabber stops up. He sets him up for Tannis to go for the engage.
And then flashes back to the team. Here's the turn with the handshake.
And then they isolate.
Who he put the wall, he goes deep while Impact was retreating.
And the ABA here, this is Flash he's talking about.
Yep, Charm, you know, he goes forward, nails it on the home box,
flashing in with the last charge and spear rush.
Can't believe these resets.
He was just playing so aggressively, so confidently.
And I think, you know, ABA, it's fair to criticize him
for some of the play in this series,
but you also have to give him credit
when he is playing well here.
And that from Impact is frustrating.
If he lands with the Grim Deliverance,
going to get a big heal, you can see.
Oh, not happy.
No, not happy at all.
Kind of a look of pain almost on the face of Golden Glue there.
As he knows, if they lose this game, their tournament is over.
It is match point for Cloud nine.
Sentinels have to win two more in a row here in Cloud nine.
Now have the Baron have reclaimed the 3000 gold lead
that Sentinels have come back from worse.
I mean, the gold thing was almost this much in the early game
and Sentinels were able to make it happen.
So we'll see if they can manage to pull it back once again.
Yeah.
All right, the siege continues.
Flabber is mid.
Cosics is actually very good at doing this,
because he can rotate really, really quickly.
Flabber pushes up.
He still has his spell shield.
He gets it out.
The bullet time.
It's in on the APA.
And he gets shut down by Rahel.
The hostile takeover comes out, but it is way too late.
APA gets caught by a low.
He had burst by Rahel.
And now Humbus wants more.
Santos has got to run.
Pops the ulti to immune the seismic shove there.
Will stay safe.
The rest of slot 9 is trying to retrieve blabber playing with fire a little bit.
It is just a 4v4 though as the hen is not with Semmels.
Just when you think they're actually putting together the momentum.
Good defense from Sentomus here.
Nice snipe on the APA.
Cutting it, his Darkseer was fully stacked too.
That was five stacks off the Darkseer in addition to getting that bounty.
It was, I believe, it was a fully stacked bounty.
Pretty sure he had full 1000 golds right there.
for hell now off of that he got the 1k that's like you such a big deal it's big
now you have to try to kill him twice did APA have seekers in that fight or
did he buy it after that's what I'm kind of curious about must have been after
because if you didn't if you didn't get the seekers off that's tough but it's
gonna be down to this dragon and now C9 are still on sole point with the
ocean soul for them which would make it really hard to kill off the hook
comes in APM is nailed to charm he finds dark wings and dark wings is gone
in comes in back for the TP was too little the TP was too late cloud nine
pilot ball it's up to Raquel a three-man knock-up though and from the base call
Raquel is in trouble he's got a run here homebuck is left alone flashing out
with the present guard Sven flashes forward good side step on the hook
the hostile takeover catches on the who he and who he is down Raquel is
Next on the menu, Sven is hunting.
The GA has been popped and Cloud9 get the fight.
APA gives with one hand, takes away with the other.
He gets caught in the byline, fights a pick
to win the game in the mid lane.
And now it is Hanbok versus the World
for your tournament life on the line.
The charm connects.
The GA is popped.
There's still a minion there and Thanos
is taking up the wave.
The next one comes in.
It was not always clean.
It was not always Chris, but Cloud9 stay alive,
win back-to-back series in the lower bracket,
and will advance for a rematch with Fury up
in the grand finals.
Woo, and APA did a lot more taking.
Really big jobs in a lot of these fights.
I think the most critical one,
and maybe we'll take a look at it, maybe not,
but with the one in their blue quadrant
of their jungle where he snipes
misfortune with the Chong to set
up for Thanatos, Sion ulting and
killing him and that led to their
Baron set up and led to so much.
So these are those are big moments
you know being able to clutch it
up there as Sentinels had started
to put together some momentum.
It really did and credit to Cloud9
being able to stabilize in what
was a game that looked like it
really got out of control and
honestly in a series that looked
like it was getting out of control
early with all of the bands that
thrown on the APA early, that A-SOUL game looked like, oh my god, did they kind of like
crack the code here?
You just literally need to throw every single band in the game on APA and he just doesn't
have an answer.
But, he comes out in this last game here with the RE, looked really, really good and
came up with some huge plays, so Cloud9 are able to scrap together the win, was a
3-1 at the end of the day and does mean that they have won now back-to-back series
in lower bracket.
They will get a rematch against Fiora and we'll have to see if they can put
more of a contest than our LCS teams have been able to so far because Furia is five and oh against
the two LCS teams combined thus far at America's Cup. Yep they they cleanly defeated both of these
two squads that we just saw fighting for the right to re-challenge them and so we've got a lot of
work to do. You know we should do. We should do 10v5. They beat them individually but can you
win a five versus 10? And that's fair. Come on Furia. I think that's fair. Yeah. Maybe they can.
What are you guys scared if they do then we really
Then we got to bring lying back and we got to do 15 versus five. We just keep keep raising the stakes, you know
But it's been it's been a fun fun day fun series so far
of tournament games and
Claude and I and I think going to be pretty happy to walk away with the win
Even though there's still a lot of things that I think they're going to be pretty self critical on
You know vulcan to start the day was saying hey, we've been playing bad. We know it
They got to play better and we have is Venn now standing by on the BSI after their victory. So is then you got us buddy
What's up?
Yo, how's it feeling to be to be the victorious team here today in a perfectly clean series
Mistakes whatsoever some of your finest games your career
Yeah, nothing to see here
I mean
I'm happy that we won, but my goodness, it was like a low-off,
particularly two teams.
Like when I'm in a low-off competition in my match.
Yeah, we know we're playing bad and it's like kind of getting to our heads
and like your confidence gets lower.
You know you're playing bad and you play bad, you play even worse.
It's it's been a rough week, to be honest.
Ever since we lost the line, we had a rough schedule with like flights
and all that.
We left to leave like 12 hours after we lost the line.
We had to be in a plane and all that.
So some of the excuses for how bad we're playing,
but it's been rough.
And then I thought we were playing bad and we know it.
And I kind of was saying for a while that I felt like,
even though we were winning LCS, we had a lot of wins
that were really close or could have been close.
Even though 2-0 is Lyon or TL were close series,
it didn't look like it, but it was.
And then I think we got a little bit too ahead of ourselves
towards the end of the first split.
And now it's all crashing down,
kind of on our heads at the same time and then confidence is low and trust is low and
it's like just a, you know, a combination of a lot of shit at the same time.
So how do you feel like you guys need to kind of like learn from this or bounce back from
this then, right?
Because clearly you all are not in denial about it.
This does not look like the same Cloud9 that we saw a couple weeks ago.
Everyone can tell that.
You guys can tell that.
The viewers can tell that.
Everyone can see it.
So what is the kind of step forward then?
How do you think that you need to be able to regain that trust and kind of
step forward and try to get back to your winning ways.
I think that the biggest problem is that we were winning so much on stage but losing
in scrims that we kind of forgot like what was good and what was bad at some point we
like we didn't really play new champions that were introduced into the meta because
we're winning with things that were worse on stage.
Now scrims we're kind of one of those teams that played bad in scrims and good on stage
for least the first two, two months of the year and now it's like we're playing
by the scrims on stage because we are behind in scrims.
Scrim without teams, they learned and adapted
and improved their tempos while I think we were playing
the same thing every game for a long time.
I think for me and the team, the biggest thing is that
our scrims have to be more productive
and we have to like shadowbox a bit more
while winning on stage.
And then I think we need to gain confidence back as a team.
I think we're making mistakes because we're too hesitant
or we're too scared of screwing it up.
And we've been screwing up so much recently.
Sometimes when we had like 6k gals go all to me, but we're just AFK with an x-ray, so
It's just we just need like a little bit of a break and look at everything at all together and then we'll be good
So for your rematch with fury that is coming up. Are you guys looking more?
Internally at your own play or at specific things that they did to you in the previous matchup that you need to change I
Mean besides the Yasuo on the bars pick
I don't think they did anything like crazy to be honest and even that pick was not the problem in that game
It was how we played I think that day was our worst day by far and I think fear isn't like crazy anything
There's a pretty solid team that play normal League of Legends and they play on the right timers
And they don't do anything stupid and I think if we just don't do anything crazy that we've been doing we will also have a competitive
serious on our hands I think that today we could play a lot better and I think
we can also show everyone tomorrow that we can play good deal it's as well on a
good day I think that we've been having like a slow like very slow rise and
this tournament so I think tomorrow we'll be fine yeah this is the training
sleep yeah good drafts we'll be fine yeah this is just the training arc you
know the the main characters have to go through a little bit of adversity got
to have some struggle you know you can't be like making it look too easy
all the time. You should draw from your time on gigatoss you know you went
through losses before and came out ahead. I really don't want to think about that actually.
Real talk I think sentinels had big advantages in at least two games when I remember against
against Fiora I think in the first game they wanted 3 gold and they blew it I think that
Yeah, maybe one, two, you know.
I think that in both those games, they could have won.
That wouldn't say easily, but I think they could have won.
And Firiah isn't like crazy good, like I said.
They're just a solid team that play well,
and they're very cohesive and aggressive,
and they're decisive.
That's their advantage.
I think we used to be, you know, Firiah of LCS, right?
Played the same way.
Played LCS, played confident, and, you know, in the PlayStation.
So I think that's why we need to game back
with this confidence and just go hard tomorrow.
All right.
Well, thanks so much, Ben.
We're wishing you the best of luck tomorrow.
We'll be here cheering you on.
go LCS go and we are now going to let you go on your merry way. Have a good night.
All right, good night guys.
All right, so play of the series. My mind was on Vulcan because I feel like he was really
consistent throughout the whole series. I felt like when you think about the Niko game,
absolutely smurfing. When I think about a lot of the big moments in the Renata game,
that was kind of him as well. To me he was their most consistent player
And I thought he was very, very strong throughout the whole series.
Yeah, 100% agree.
Thanatos also had a lot of really good moments.
Really good too.
And then APA clutching on the RE game was big, but man, there were so many lows.
There's so many lows.
Yeah, so many lows.
So congrats to Vulcan, congrats to Cloud9.
Woo!
Cloud9, get their rematch in, you know.
LCS won today.
There we go.
We won!
Woo!
Oh no, dude.
We lost today too.
That's okay.
look at the bracket we'll see where we are ending up here it's a rematch between
cloud nine if you're it's the match that started us off all the way back the
first first day first match circle yeah we're going right back to the
origins we gotta at least get one on the board we can't allow them to 8-0 us
oh my god this is not allowed must win at least one game but I'm hoping
they're gonna be able to to improve and then very introspective on his
interview as always so hopefully they'll be able to get together and show up
tomorrow and take down Furia. Yep, all right. Good luck Cloud9. We will see you all here tomorrow.
Have a great evening or morning or whatever time it is. Yep, we'll see you.
Hello and welcome back to America's Cup Day 4. We're in the lower bracket here.
The losers match for losers. Meanwhile, EnVoc is looking here for his bank to be
Spell shielded on the ulti though and Blaber goes back in with the cataclysm.
Gonna find a knockup on to Rahel. Rahel is down, who he is incredibly low.
He's gonna fall next here to Blaber.
Pompbox got nowhere to go.
This game is looking over at 10 minutes, but Cloud9 are relentless.
In goes Blaber onto the backline. Rahel has nowhere to go.
Impact tried to turn in, fighting against APA, but he can't knock him down.
The GA is gonna be popped there on to Blaber.
Fulkin with a 4-man pop loss of him.
And surely that is going to be the end of game number one.
Cloud nine will grab the game one win.
Although trying to threaten a little bit on the side.
Going to jump forward with the stun down on the attacks here.
Conk disguised to send across multiple members.
It's a big ulti with the impale.
It's equally good on the other side.
Lever is gone.
Vulcan sure to follow.
Flashing forward is Ra'El.
Zvett is on the run, but he's got nowhere to go.
Sentinels with too much power will not be stopped.
They push forward.
They take the Nexus.
and they tie up our lower bracket finals.
Well, and now Sentinels looking for ABA
will rem-warp out to safety.
That tower was very low.
Darby's going to die.
Starkly's is actually going to die.
Oh, no.
I'm casting Arkham's ditch.
Oh, what the?
Oh, yeah, thank you.
Yeah, I'm going to send a good or so.
Get it.
That's good.
I'll take it.
Hey, the Baron's still at 2K.
In fact going forward here it still is not reset.
Blubber is dead.
It's anyone's game now.
Rahel is trying to go for the beard but he killed himself to do it.
Oh, man.
Rahel man ran melee range into this.
They're going to just want the fight.
Oh, my God.
In fact, trying to make something happen here on a dentist
but he just doesn't have the damage.
The fear tether will land.
But who he is back?
Hombok pops the cyclone.
The base is dying.
The bubble lands.
Humbug falls!
Cloud9 with a clean one!
They're moisturized!
R still on his whole point.
Wookiee Osh is all for them, which was making it.
And it was really hard to kill off.
The hook comes in.
APA on the side nails the charm.
He finds Darkwing's, and Darkwing's is gone.
In comes in back, but the TP was too little,
and the TP was too late.
Cloud9 piling full.
It's up to Rahel.
A three-man knock-up, though.
And from the fates call, Rahel is in trouble.
He's got to run here.
Humbug has left the long flash again
with the present guard.
then flashes forward, good side step on the hook.
The Arsenal takeover catches on a who he and who he is down.
Where hell is next on the menu?
The Cloud Nine stay alive, win back to back series
in the lower bracket, and will advance for a rematch
with Furia in the grand finals.
I'll see you in the next video.
See you in the next video.
Bye.
I
I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm just thinking about you.
I don't know if you have a cure to cure all of this.
You just have to come back.
I know you had what I was doing to you.
You, what I couldn't do to you.
Why don't we go back to being here again?
