WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:02.560
Oh my God, what a night

00:02.560 --> 00:04.480
Who do you believe in, my boy?

00:04.480 --> 00:06.240
No one can hurt

00:07.200 --> 00:10.000
Oh my God, what a night

00:10.000 --> 00:12.080
Can't you see my feeling in lies?

00:12.080 --> 00:13.680
Yeah, it cuts through

00:13.680 --> 00:15.760
Baby, I'm tired right now

00:15.760 --> 00:17.360
Yeah, this is our life

00:17.360 --> 00:20.080
How do you believe in love?

00:20.080 --> 00:21.760
What a sight, it's not a duty

00:21.760 --> 00:23.760
I have to mind my sins

00:23.760 --> 00:25.440
Pray for whatever it takes

00:25.440 --> 00:27.840
To act the end back in July

00:27.840 --> 00:31.760
They got two different sounds, I don't go back, no rewind

00:31.760 --> 00:35.760
Now I'm my boy, I'll take it to the metal, to the yellow, I'll blur it, I'll steal it through time

00:35.760 --> 00:39.040
It doesn't matter where we go, it doesn't matter where we go

00:40.400 --> 00:43.440
I'm a special fire, one and strong, oh

00:44.160 --> 00:46.960
I'm the one who's holding on to everything

00:47.600 --> 00:50.400
I'm the one who's holding on to everything

00:50.400 --> 00:52.160
I'm the one who's holding on to everything

00:52.160 --> 00:54.160
I'm the one who's holding on to everything

11:24.160 --> 11:26.160
I

15:24.160 --> 15:26.160
I

16:24.160 --> 16:26.160
I

17:54.160 --> 17:56.160
It's time to watch it

17:56.160 --> 17:58.160
You can do my life back

17:58.160 --> 18:00.160
I won't waste your time

18:00.160 --> 18:02.160
That's not gonna be great

18:02.160 --> 18:04.160
I'm talking about my life

18:04.160 --> 18:06.160
It's time to watch it

18:06.160 --> 18:08.160
You can do it

18:08.160 --> 18:10.160
You can do it

18:10.160 --> 18:12.160
You can do it

18:12.160 --> 18:14.160
You can do it

18:14.160 --> 18:16.160
You can do it

18:16.160 --> 18:18.160
You can do it

18:18.160 --> 18:20.160
You can do it

18:20.160 --> 18:22.160
You can do it

18:52.160 --> 18:54.160
I can't turn it off, yeah I'm a friend

18:54.160 --> 18:56.160
We got no trouble, hashtag

18:56.160 --> 18:58.160
Then I'll take down the views

18:58.160 --> 19:00.160
Feel like living in the mad trap

19:00.160 --> 19:02.160
I'm dancing to the rhythm

19:02.160 --> 19:04.160
Like the L.A.

19:04.160 --> 19:06.160
Let us get funky

19:06.160 --> 19:08.160
I guess I'll watch it

19:08.160 --> 19:10.160
I'm gonna dance

19:10.160 --> 19:12.160
I can't change the way I live

19:12.160 --> 19:14.160
I can't move, I can't speak

19:14.160 --> 19:16.160
I'm gonna blow you up

19:16.160 --> 19:18.160
To the left, to the right

19:18.160 --> 19:20.160
I'm gonna shake your heart

23:20.160 --> 23:22.160
I

24:50.160 --> 24:52.160
We knew all the women

24:52.160 --> 24:54.160
I've been under some wow

24:54.160 --> 24:56.160
You'll keep your lies

24:56.160 --> 24:58.160
They will take you all for a ride

24:58.160 --> 25:00.160
Get high, get wild

25:00.160 --> 25:01.160
Get wild

25:01.160 --> 25:02.160
Shut up and drive

25:02.160 --> 25:04.160
Get me just shut up and drive

25:04.160 --> 25:05.160
Bones won't impossible

25:05.160 --> 25:07.160
Get diamonds on my booty

25:07.160 --> 25:08.160
You found

25:09.160 --> 25:10.160
We can trust for the night

25:10.160 --> 25:12.160
Can you find something to make me

25:12.160 --> 25:14.160
Leave it all behind

25:17.160 --> 25:19.160
I'm trying to make you fucking want this

25:49.160 --> 25:51.160
Yeah, that's a lie.

25:51.160 --> 25:53.160
Right here, Louis.

25:53.160 --> 25:55.160
The old west side.

25:55.160 --> 25:56.160
Sorry, baby.

25:56.160 --> 25:58.160
It's a high demand license.

25:58.160 --> 25:59.160
We're quite LAX.

25:59.160 --> 26:01.160
The ICM, back in July.

26:01.160 --> 26:04.160
The G-Towns are double black.

26:04.160 --> 26:05.160
No reverb.

26:05.160 --> 26:07.160
My, my, my boy.

26:07.160 --> 26:08.160
I'll give this to the metal.

26:08.160 --> 26:09.160
To the in-laws.

26:09.160 --> 26:10.160
Blur on through time.

26:10.160 --> 26:12.160
And it doesn't matter where we go.

26:12.160 --> 26:14.160
It doesn't matter where we go.

26:14.160 --> 26:17.160
I expect you to find your hardest friend.

26:17.160 --> 26:19.160
Let's go for your hardest run

26:20.160 --> 26:22.160
Don't let your eyes open

26:23.160 --> 26:26.160
We're already too far away

26:28.160 --> 26:30.160
Oh baby, get your shit

26:31.160 --> 26:34.160
One guy, one of us try

26:35.160 --> 26:37.160
One guy, one guy

26:38.160 --> 26:41.160
We love it, no one can hurt

26:42.160 --> 26:45.160
One guy, one guy

27:15.160 --> 27:19.160
We got it, what I'm just trying

27:19.160 --> 27:22.160
We got it, what I'm just trying

27:22.160 --> 27:26.160
We got it, what I'm just trying

27:26.160 --> 27:29.160
We got it, what I'm just trying

27:32.160 --> 27:34.160
Hit the bass drum, make it boom, yeah

27:34.160 --> 27:37.160
One, two, three, four, it's gonna sound legal

27:37.160 --> 27:39.160
Get off, go off, it's the world's limit

27:39.160 --> 27:42.160
In the big boat, you won't be able to stand

28:42.160 --> 28:45.160
I know, take that rescue

28:45.160 --> 28:47.160
I feel like living in the mad trap

28:47.160 --> 28:49.160
I'm the one who's going to dance

28:49.160 --> 28:51.160
I'm the one who's going to jump

28:51.160 --> 28:53.160
Let us get funky

28:53.160 --> 28:55.160
I can't help it, I'm going to dance

28:55.160 --> 28:58.160
I can't change the way I live

28:58.160 --> 29:00.160
I can't change the way I live

29:00.160 --> 29:02.160
I'm the one who's going to jump

29:02.160 --> 29:05.160
To the left, to the right

29:05.160 --> 29:08.160
I'm going to go a little further

29:08.160 --> 29:10.160
To the left, to the right

29:40.160 --> 29:42.160
I

34:10.160 --> 34:12.160
I

37:10.160 --> 37:35.780
I told you I was done with basic browsers

37:40.160 --> 37:47.160
You're setup wants Opera GX and you're holding it back.

37:55.160 --> 37:57.160
Upgrade to the gaming browser.

37:58.160 --> 38:00.160
Download Opera GX.

38:00.160 --> 38:04.160
When I was a player, if I was to make a misplay,

38:04.160 --> 38:06.600
Maybe it's my mouse, maybe it's my armrest.

38:06.600 --> 38:08.000
Something feels wrong.

38:08.000 --> 38:10.120
If you were at home, you wouldn't do that.

38:10.120 --> 38:12.640
The Infinite Precision Armrest is part of the largest

38:12.640 --> 38:15.000
ukulele on-stage standard initiative

38:15.000 --> 38:17.680
aimed to bring your home or training room settings

38:17.680 --> 38:19.360
to the tournament stage.

39:04.160 --> 39:34.120
Tired of the off-season blues once Worlds is over?

39:34.120 --> 39:39.760
Fear not, because League of Legends is coming to the very first eSports Nations Cup, where

39:39.760 --> 39:44.320
players split from their clubs and compete for national pride.

39:44.320 --> 39:47.360
Will China test every limit imaginable?

39:47.360 --> 39:50.640
Will South Korea turn every game into a macro masterclass?

39:50.640 --> 39:54.640
Will EU and NA actually play in the correct lengths?

39:54.640 --> 39:57.720
The final event of the year is not to be missed.

39:57.720 --> 40:00.240
eSports Nations Cup 2026.

40:00.240 --> 40:01.240
See you in Riyadh.

40:01.240 --> 40:08.840
With my new phone company, Menace Mobile, our pricing structure will be so confusing.

40:08.840 --> 40:11.420
It could already be described as evil.

40:11.420 --> 40:12.580
That isn't evil.

40:12.580 --> 40:14.580
It's just typical phone company stuff.

40:14.580 --> 40:16.540
Besides people who just switched to Verizon.

40:16.540 --> 40:20.140
With their new simplicity plan, there's just one plan and one price.

40:20.140 --> 40:21.140
What now?

40:21.140 --> 40:22.740
And it's only $30 for a single line.

40:22.740 --> 40:24.140
$30!

40:24.140 --> 40:26.140
So you're all choosing Verizon?

40:26.140 --> 40:27.140
Treaters!

40:27.140 --> 40:30.740
Introducing the simplicity plan, $30 for a single line.

40:30.740 --> 40:32.080
Can you hear me now?

40:38.080 --> 40:40.480
Let boogie wings

40:41.140 --> 40:45.940
Times like this are where star players shine

40:45.940 --> 40:48.340
And new legends step up

40:48.340 --> 40:54.740
But legacies are built and dreams either realized or ripped apart

40:54.740 --> 40:56.740
He can't go through God!

40:56.740 --> 41:02.740
He can't understand the kind of guy who has been doing the proper thing!

41:02.740 --> 41:04.740
He wants to grow without his soul!

41:04.740 --> 41:07.740
Do he say what you want me to do?

41:07.740 --> 41:09.740
I'm just going to eat them!

41:24.740 --> 41:30.860
In partnership with League of Legends Esports, we are driving digital innovation that empowers

41:30.860 --> 41:37.500
the Esports ecosystem to keep expanding, so players can focus on the game and fans can

41:37.500 --> 41:38.500
focus on the moment.

45:24.740 --> 45:29.000
brought us some winners and some losers who will continue to dare to dream and

45:29.000 --> 45:34.120
make it out of the play in stage. Welcome back to day two of the MIPS season

45:34.120 --> 45:40.260
Invitational alongside Ryze, Kobe, Ray Wendell, and Ray Wendell!

45:40.260 --> 45:46.420
Losers! Yeah! We're winners! We're winners! But we're also kind of winners. We're winning today!

45:46.420 --> 45:52.460
Now before we get started, we need to thank everyone's best friend on the

45:52.460 --> 45:55.420
couch, say it at home, feels birthday man.

45:55.420 --> 45:56.660
Happy birthday, Kobe.

45:56.660 --> 45:57.660
Woo!

45:57.660 --> 46:02.660
3, 2, 1, happy birthday, Kobe.

46:02.660 --> 46:03.660
Back!

46:03.660 --> 46:04.660
Oh!

46:04.660 --> 46:05.660
Back!

46:05.660 --> 46:06.660
Yeah!

46:06.660 --> 46:10.660
Thank you, Ryze.

46:10.660 --> 46:12.660
I got your back.

46:12.660 --> 46:13.660
Careful!

46:13.660 --> 46:15.660
You don't want to pick me up next time, Kobe.

46:15.660 --> 46:17.660
Kobe, you're not a loser.

46:17.660 --> 46:19.660
Ryze, Jerry's still out.

46:19.660 --> 46:20.660
Yeah.

46:20.660 --> 46:25.620
Again, uh league e-sports wouldn't be so different with that to Kobe. Thank you for

46:26.180 --> 46:28.180
Being here. Happy birthday, man

46:28.420 --> 46:31.540
As we thank birthday or say happy birthday to Kobe

46:31.540 --> 46:34.420
Let's take a look at the play in bracket and how it shook on up

46:34.820 --> 46:41.060
Yesterday it was pretty solid 3-0s for t1 and kc over their opponents

46:41.060 --> 46:48.660
That will be our first match up of the day t1 versus karmicorp and then team liquid alienware versus relove deep cross gaming

46:48.660 --> 46:54.420
We'll be the elimination match where one team goes home and after one day guys

46:55.100 --> 47:00.460
This is it. T.L.'s Baxter against the wall. Oh, wait. Why are you doing lower bracket is more fun, Raz?

47:00.460 --> 47:04.300
I heard that somewhere. Yeah. Yeah, you guys seem like you're having a lot of fun yet

47:06.460 --> 47:11.500
Actually, what's every fun in game two? I legit was having fun in game two. I got some hope there

47:11.500 --> 47:15.980
You know team Liquid they also you even though they ended up losing 3-0

47:15.980 --> 47:20.580
You could definitely tell they put a lot of prep work and thought into this really did

47:20.780 --> 47:25.680
You know come up with some good plans and some good drafts for themselves. Yeah, I thought there's a lot of fight

47:25.680 --> 47:28.060
I really truly believe game two is gonna be great

47:29.020 --> 47:33.860
Especially the strategy even going back to game one like you exactly like you said everything was working well for me

47:33.860 --> 47:38.260
That's why I have firm faith in the neck in today that being said k-corp

47:38.700 --> 47:45.100
completely demolish real of DCG and I we need to see a better version of pop 9 today in

47:45.100 --> 47:49.100
in particular, but for K-Corp, the fans especially have to be happy.

47:49.100 --> 47:54.100
It's a big confidence boost for them coming in and just dominating their first game so much,

47:54.100 --> 47:57.100
especially as they have a much harder matchup today.

47:57.100 --> 47:59.100
I think they can kind of ride that and feel good about themselves.

47:59.100 --> 48:03.100
Always the first day of the match, I think a lot of teams feel a little bit unsure of themselves,

48:03.100 --> 48:06.100
so I think it's good to get that convincing win.

48:06.100 --> 48:10.100
Yeah, well, one thing is for sure, teams came in with strategies and plans.

48:10.100 --> 48:12.100
One that's going to stick around is the Camille support.

48:12.100 --> 48:15.460
Now Camille has been taking over the meta across the world.

48:15.460 --> 48:19.860
We saw it in several finals in the Eastern Leagues,

48:19.860 --> 48:21.220
and now we're seeing it here at MSI.

48:21.220 --> 48:23.380
So I think it works so well with mages.

48:23.380 --> 48:26.020
We've seen Ziggs and Mal in the bot lane pad with this,

48:26.020 --> 48:28.900
and it's so effective at holding them still, especially Ziggs.

48:28.900 --> 48:31.940
You result, and Ziggs cannot miss his ult after that.

48:31.940 --> 48:34.900
You also are just able to roam around the map, take over the game,

48:34.900 --> 48:37.700
and as well, some of these matchups into range supports,

48:37.700 --> 48:39.300
we expect it to get bullied out.

48:39.300 --> 48:41.380
Because of the ignite and the level one power,

48:41.380 --> 48:44.020
You can actually really challenge that and find advantages.

48:44.020 --> 48:48.820
It actually makes me so jealous as a jungler, because I miss Camille jungles so much.

48:48.820 --> 48:52.580
And the support roll, they get, oh, free Sheen item with Bloodsaw.

48:52.580 --> 48:57.780
Oh, you're getting plenty of roam time every time you want, because yeah, they're pairing it with these mages.

48:57.780 --> 49:00.660
They just have wave clear and stuff at the bottom lane too.

49:00.660 --> 49:04.340
It's all these supports. You're just gonna have the whole game as they're always there.

49:04.340 --> 49:07.300
And you know what's great about Camille's support is if you're playing Camille Top lane,

49:07.300 --> 49:12.820
level 20, you're pretty farmed up, and you dive in 1v5 and die, that's not a good thing.

49:12.820 --> 49:17.380
But on Camille's support, you can do that, and if you're one for one, job done, you're sitting

49:17.380 --> 49:21.220
there on the gray screen like you guys go. I'll say you won't. I feel like this is very personal

49:21.220 --> 49:25.220
to you. Most of these, most of these bots were literally zigs. We saw the mel yesterday and

49:25.220 --> 49:28.740
you're talking about inting on Camille, which I imagine is what you're talking about. Our resident

49:28.740 --> 49:35.140
zigs enjoy everything. That's right. Both of those digs, yeah. Now, it is time to dive into

49:35.140 --> 49:40.420
the city that we are in in Dejone because it is the city of science and so I thought it would be fun

49:40.420 --> 49:46.180
to compare our playing MSI teams to scientific instruments in the little segment we're going to

49:46.180 --> 49:52.500
call Science 101 and so each one of our big brain analysts were given a team. Aux, you were given

49:52.500 --> 49:58.980
T1. What scientific instrument were that? Well, professor, I went for the Bunsen Bandit.

49:58.980 --> 50:00.300
For two reasons.

50:00.300 --> 50:02.820
They roasted us yesterday to...

50:02.820 --> 50:04.820
Oh no!

50:04.820 --> 50:07.460
And that is also a bone torch right there.

50:07.460 --> 50:07.960
Yeah.

50:07.960 --> 50:08.460
Oh good.

50:08.460 --> 50:09.460
Not even accurate.

50:09.460 --> 50:10.460
Not even accurate.

50:10.460 --> 50:13.820
So that's obviously a very obvious reason.

50:13.820 --> 50:15.580
The second reason, so when I was a teenager...

50:15.580 --> 50:16.580
Oh, we got to be in there.

50:16.580 --> 50:18.820
When I was a teenager, we used to have our labs,

50:18.820 --> 50:20.980
and we used to have the Bunsenbirne day,

50:20.980 --> 50:22.860
you know, when you cook up chemicals or whatever.

50:22.860 --> 50:26.260
That was always the most chaotic day.

50:26.260 --> 50:33.220
And honestly, when you have like a classroom with 30 teenagers and the teacher has to be responsible for all that, it's chaos.

50:33.220 --> 50:36.220
It's absolutely chaos. I feel like that's how a T1 series goes.

50:36.220 --> 50:39.620
You're scared, you're concerned. They're having fun. They're having a great time.

50:39.620 --> 50:43.980
You're like, oh god, please do not burn everything down. Do not burn your lab mate down as well.

50:43.980 --> 50:44.780
That's a...

50:44.780 --> 50:47.260
Oxford School was like a Breaking Bad episode.

50:47.260 --> 50:49.980
Cooking up careful folks.

50:49.980 --> 50:53.780
The Ziggs player is cocking all of those bombs he's gonna throw.

50:53.780 --> 50:55.940
He goes with Plunson, Bernacobie, you're next.

50:55.940 --> 50:57.620
You had 10 record.

50:57.620 --> 50:58.120
Yeah.

50:58.120 --> 51:00.140
Let's get this other one.

51:00.140 --> 51:01.100
We don't know what to do this time.

51:01.100 --> 51:03.100
OK, but that's OK.

51:03.100 --> 51:07.300
But honestly, so T.O. is actually the telescope.

51:07.300 --> 51:10.820
Because, D.Con, you could see the wind through the telescope.

51:10.820 --> 51:12.260
You could see it over there.

51:12.260 --> 51:13.900
It was just really far away.

51:13.900 --> 51:15.460
And we couldn't actually get to the next one.

51:15.460 --> 51:16.740
I see something closer than that.

51:16.740 --> 51:17.740
What is?

51:17.740 --> 51:18.740
Oh.

51:18.740 --> 51:20.620
I mean, fight the team.

51:20.620 --> 51:21.740
They had good planning.

51:21.740 --> 51:23.100
And you could see it, you know?

51:23.100 --> 51:23.600
Yeah.

51:23.600 --> 51:24.100
That's it.

51:24.100 --> 51:25.660
Coilery's not even looking.

51:25.660 --> 51:26.620
He doesn't want to move!

51:26.620 --> 51:27.820
He's not gonna let us out though!

51:27.820 --> 51:29.260
Rattas, what are you called? What are you called into you?

51:29.260 --> 51:34.860
The moon, the moon, you know, the moon moves out of the way, so he's off for a second, and then the big defeat.

51:34.860 --> 51:38.620
Oh, hey, hey! We'll get him next time, alright?

51:38.620 --> 51:40.540
That wasn't an elimination series!

51:40.540 --> 51:42.780
True, true, that's true, we'll get him next time!

51:42.780 --> 51:48.620
The moon is there, there's a lot of other celestial bodies in the way, between the victory.

51:48.620 --> 51:50.380
It seems like you're not quite there yet.

51:50.380 --> 51:51.580
Alright, Rass, what you got?

51:51.580 --> 51:54.540
I'm gonna talk about a key of scientific exploration.

51:54.540 --> 51:55.620
For Relove Deep Cross Gaming.

51:55.620 --> 51:57.540
Yes, for Relove Deep Cross Gaming,

51:57.540 --> 51:59.020
that team is going up to the sky.

51:59.020 --> 52:00.780
Oh, no!

52:00.780 --> 52:02.460
What's happening to the ship?

52:02.460 --> 52:05.180
It's basically a failing space shuttle.

52:05.180 --> 52:06.740
Look, we have to try.

52:06.740 --> 52:07.700
You're making an attempt.

52:07.700 --> 52:09.500
You want to go to Mars at some point.

52:09.500 --> 52:12.300
So you're going to have, while you're exploring,

52:12.300 --> 52:14.900
the above, aka an international event.

52:14.900 --> 52:15.740
You know what they need?

52:15.740 --> 52:17.340
The first exploration's not going to be the best.

52:17.340 --> 52:19.780
They need, they need Kevin Bacon.

52:19.780 --> 52:20.620
Yeah?

52:20.620 --> 52:21.500
Like Apollo 13.

52:21.500 --> 52:22.340
Apollo 13.

52:22.340 --> 52:23.660
Yeah, they need the boys together.

52:23.660 --> 52:24.660
It's all looking good.

52:24.660 --> 52:25.660
It's all looking good.

52:25.660 --> 52:26.660
That's what we love, Deep Cross Gaming.

52:26.660 --> 52:32.820
I had Carmine Corp and of course, I had, you know what, the centrifuge.

52:32.820 --> 52:34.980
What are you separating?

52:34.980 --> 52:41.460
So they're separating, what's going in there are normal LEC fans and as it spins fast and

52:41.460 --> 52:48.140
the viscosity of the true fandom comes on out and it is the blue wall fandom and that's

52:48.140 --> 52:49.300
why they're there in the background.

52:49.300 --> 52:53.100
So it's kind of crazy, it's kind of chaotic, that is what the blue wall brings.

52:53.100 --> 52:58.100
At the end of it all, only the true blue wall fans will remain.

52:58.100 --> 53:01.340
I feel like that's concentrated KC.

53:01.340 --> 53:02.180
That's dangerous.

53:02.180 --> 53:04.020
We're rather shaken.

53:04.020 --> 53:04.780
They're right there.

53:04.780 --> 53:06.260
I'm glad the gloves are on.

53:06.260 --> 53:09.260
Let's just peak motion sickness.

53:09.260 --> 53:10.540
I'm glad the gloves are on.

53:10.540 --> 53:11.220
That is needed.

53:11.220 --> 53:12.060
You have to let those come.

53:12.060 --> 53:12.560
Absolutely.

53:12.560 --> 53:13.060
All right.

53:13.060 --> 53:15.860
And a brown paper bag.

53:15.860 --> 53:18.260
You have to transport it.

53:18.260 --> 53:21.660
KC and T1 have some of the largest fan bases

53:21.660 --> 53:25.420
in all of LoL eSports, and this is going to be one of those unique tests where it's

53:25.420 --> 53:30.100
the home team, one of the most popular teams in the world, against one of the most passionate

53:30.100 --> 53:34.300
fan bases in the world that shows up at every single tournament that they play at.

53:34.300 --> 53:38.700
Being that this isn't cram, there is going to be a massive T1 crowd, but I feel like

53:38.700 --> 53:45.460
the KC fans are like the Spawns in 300, yes, more in number, but Pip Pearson, so loud and

53:45.460 --> 53:48.780
able to fill an arena with volume, with passion.

53:48.780 --> 53:53.020
Because D-Gon's constant style with his second huge.

53:53.020 --> 53:54.500
Yeah, I mean, look at that, though.

53:54.500 --> 53:55.360
They got some good-

53:55.360 --> 53:56.700
You're not the T1 fan.

53:56.700 --> 53:58.300
The T1 fans are going to be louder.

53:58.300 --> 54:01.460
The blue dam is going to be blown open by the Red Sea.

54:01.460 --> 54:03.060
It's not possible.

54:03.060 --> 54:04.620
I think there's going to be a battle.

54:04.620 --> 54:06.300
And then we're going to see today, you know,

54:06.300 --> 54:08.660
there's some thin columns between the chairs

54:08.660 --> 54:11.420
and who's that strategically.

54:11.420 --> 54:13.660
We all looked at the same time.

54:13.660 --> 54:16.020
Let's see how those columns hold on.

54:16.020 --> 54:19.780
Well, again, T1 and KC, one man that's playing in that game,

54:19.780 --> 54:21.740
has been part of both organizations.

54:21.740 --> 54:26.380
And it is Kana who played for T1 back in 2020 and 2021

54:26.380 --> 54:28.860
and played out worlds with this squad as well, Ox.

54:28.860 --> 54:31.580
Yeah, so Kana was the top laner before Zayas.

54:31.580 --> 54:34.820
We obviously know so much about the Zio, FGK, roster,

54:34.820 --> 54:36.500
that won two worlds in a row,

54:36.500 --> 54:38.340
and that everyone thinks off with a modern T1,

54:38.340 --> 54:41.220
but Kana was there with the other four prior to that.

54:41.220 --> 54:43.900
World's 2021 finished third to fourth,

54:43.900 --> 54:45.620
and then he moved away, Zayas stepped in

54:45.620 --> 54:48.180
and they had that massive generational run

54:48.180 --> 54:49.940
and kind of going up against his old team now,

54:49.940 --> 54:51.380
hopefully trying to get the upset.

54:51.380 --> 54:53.220
And it's nice that we're putting a focus on him

54:53.220 --> 54:55.900
because of course he's had such an amazing journey.

54:55.900 --> 54:57.620
But also like as an accelerator,

54:57.620 --> 55:00.060
like an amazing carry top laner,

55:00.060 --> 55:01.940
to be able to translate that move over to K Corp.

55:01.940 --> 55:03.380
And I feel like he is also stabilized.

55:03.380 --> 55:05.380
They can put him on silent or anything like that.

55:05.380 --> 55:08.740
But you would see the best out of Kana on something

55:08.740 --> 55:11.020
like maybe give him the Camille.

55:11.020 --> 55:12.260
Maybe.

55:12.260 --> 55:13.940
Honestly, he was really good yesterday

55:13.940 --> 55:18.140
And Doran was losing to Morgan, so maybe that is an angle.

55:18.140 --> 55:20.180
Well, I didn't know he would do that sometimes.

55:20.180 --> 55:21.060
And it is the Lord.

55:21.060 --> 55:23.220
You know, the Lord Morgan has pulled off some wins.

55:23.220 --> 55:24.420
North American player.

55:24.420 --> 55:25.220
Protagon.

55:25.220 --> 55:26.460
Yeah, that's true.

55:26.460 --> 55:27.340
That is true.

55:27.340 --> 55:30.620
But kind of, again, Prime to have himself a big, big match

55:30.620 --> 55:32.260
here against his former organization.

55:32.260 --> 55:34.300
Someone else that's going to have a big match showed it

55:34.300 --> 55:35.100
yesterday.

55:35.100 --> 55:39.260
Owner had himself a great series taking every single smite

55:39.260 --> 55:40.780
away from Hasebiohno.

55:40.780 --> 55:42.980
We're going to get one smite, right?

55:42.980 --> 55:50.620
Yeah, he's really sick sodom in these quote-unquote 5050 scenarios and honestly, it's just props to owner

55:51.660 --> 55:56.780
So it's so clutch on stage here. I mean, I mean if we got one of these we could we could have denied that

55:56.980 --> 55:58.980
You know cloud soul

56:00.020 --> 56:03.460
This one, yeah, Kobe you're a jungler. How does it feel when you just getting out?

56:06.500 --> 56:10.260
I personally have a lot of experience. Oh the one that's getting out

56:12.980 --> 56:16.060
You know what? I'm right there with you, Jose. All good.

56:16.060 --> 56:16.980
It's his birthday.

56:16.980 --> 56:17.780
Oh, jeez.

56:17.780 --> 56:18.280
All right.

56:18.280 --> 56:19.780
Well, this is our featured match up here.

56:19.780 --> 56:20.980
It is owner versus yike.

56:20.980 --> 56:23.620
Owner yet again against one of the best in the West.

56:23.620 --> 56:28.260
Yike having had success in G2 and now over at KC,

56:28.260 --> 56:29.660
going to be a big, big match here.

56:29.660 --> 56:30.860
And he was clinical yesterday.

56:30.860 --> 56:33.100
And it's always going to be a highlight on Yike

56:33.100 --> 56:34.220
and how he performs internationally.

56:34.220 --> 56:36.300
And yesterday was actually amazing

56:36.300 --> 56:38.340
and how he was able to deal with Pop 9.

56:38.340 --> 56:42.300
And so hopefully that then moves over to today.

56:42.300 --> 56:45.260
And he's now able to maybe put a nine on owner's name.

56:45.260 --> 56:46.260
That's crazy.

56:46.260 --> 56:50.540
But no, I do have a lot of confidence

56:50.540 --> 56:52.780
with how Yike has been playing so far.

56:52.780 --> 56:54.060
So definitely want to see.

56:54.060 --> 56:58.580
I think he is the key to how we get to see KC play today.

56:58.580 --> 57:01.940
Yeah, Yike, a very resilient player, very good on the buy.

57:01.940 --> 57:03.860
We'll continue to look for that as a priority

57:03.860 --> 57:05.220
pick in this matchup.

57:05.220 --> 57:06.580
Now let's see what the fans at home

57:06.580 --> 57:09.620
think with our MasterCard fan predictions.

57:09.620 --> 57:15.620
and y'all T1's playing so they never ever ever lose a fan prediction, right?

57:15.620 --> 57:18.620
What is this? What is this?

57:18.620 --> 57:20.620
What's going on?

57:20.620 --> 57:22.620
Where's our T1 FanDocs?

57:22.620 --> 57:25.620
I thought you said you concentrated at the KC Fan.

57:25.620 --> 57:27.620
I multiplied!

57:27.620 --> 57:30.620
I think it's because you got a boost from the Buccio fans.

57:30.620 --> 57:32.620
NA fans have voted for KC Fan.

57:32.620 --> 57:34.620
But you're welcome!

57:34.620 --> 57:35.620
I see, I see.

57:35.620 --> 57:40.560
This is actually crazy. I mean it is on X on Twitter, but still it's it's out

57:40.560 --> 57:44.820
I don't think I've ever seen T1 lose a fan book never because it's just worldwide. Yeah

57:44.820 --> 57:49.160
I don't think of a time big it biggest nice single time. I don't think so either and again

57:49.160 --> 57:54.480
We'll remember this moment now. Yeah, this is this is a good start for Casey. They won the fan vote

57:54.480 --> 57:56.240
Let's see how they could do in game number one

57:56.240 --> 58:03.820
Let's see what our big brand analyst predicted for this series the world champs versus the pride of France in KC

58:03.820 --> 58:14.260
and what yeah last night I had to do some I had to do so I have to think about

58:14.260 --> 58:17.500
it a bit okay not only did I feel a little bit of were you cooking some

58:17.500 --> 58:26.500
chemicals with oxen I felt conversation with Betty is Betty is told me

58:28.020 --> 58:31.980
remember on Twitter gone that is talk to him if you're T1 back he's the one

58:31.980 --> 58:34.820
that convinced me he was the one that put the noise out there and I believed

58:34.820 --> 58:40.340
them friends he made a very compelling point which one did he say Casey is a

58:40.340 --> 58:42.500
better G

58:42.500 --> 58:44.500
compelling point

58:44.500 --> 58:46.500
super duper, super compelling point

58:46.500 --> 58:48.500
he's gonna be so mad

58:48.500 --> 58:50.500
I missed every fuming

58:50.500 --> 58:52.500
wait I'm lying, oh man

58:52.500 --> 58:55.500
well, come on you could come up with something better than that

58:55.500 --> 59:01.700
I was impressed with Casey yesterday we got a very clean series but it was against a

59:01.700 --> 59:06.420
week of team. I give him a game. I have a chance. I give him a game too. I think T1.

59:06.420 --> 59:11.420
I'll just very much in that favor. Yeah, I mean, I also gave him a game. T1, there's

59:11.420 --> 59:15.840
some moments, even versus TL, when they started to get behind and then T1 circus came out

59:15.840 --> 59:19.980
a little bit and they just keep on fighting. You know, even at numbers disadvantage. And

59:19.980 --> 59:23.260
it was enough to make me believe that we were going to take that game. So maybe that actually

59:23.260 --> 59:26.780
comes through the same. Final thoughts for real. Okay.

59:26.780 --> 59:28.780
That was real. That was real. That was real.

59:28.780 --> 59:30.780
That was real. That was real.

59:30.780 --> 59:32.780
100% real. 100% real.

59:32.780 --> 59:34.780
But on a real point, I think T1 showcased a lot of, like,

59:34.780 --> 59:36.780
fragility yesterday. I think a lot of the teamfights, like,

59:36.780 --> 59:40.780
if Team Liquid showcased anything in terms of the teamfighting,

59:40.780 --> 59:42.780
then they would have been able to get over at least one or two games.

59:42.780 --> 59:44.780
But I think KC is a better teamfighting team.

59:44.780 --> 59:46.780
Alright, well, we'll see.

59:46.780 --> 59:48.780
We'll see what happens here, Raz.

59:48.780 --> 59:50.780
And everyone at home, it is T1,

59:50.780 --> 59:52.780
the reigning world champs versus CarmenCorp,

59:52.780 --> 59:54.780
making their debut at MSI,

59:54.780 --> 59:58.060
their debut at MSI looking to make the upset.

59:58.060 --> 59:59.020
Let's see what happens.

59:59.020 --> 01:00:00.660
We'll see you after game number one.

01:00:24.780 --> 01:00:29.780
This is about to go down!

01:00:33.780 --> 01:00:37.780
This is your life! This is your home! This is your fight!

01:00:46.780 --> 01:00:48.780
Are these the huts?

01:00:48.780 --> 01:00:49.780
These are it.

01:00:49.780 --> 01:01:07.860
Welcome back to MSI 2026, I'm Atlas joined by Azale, it is another AA broadcast here as

01:01:07.860 --> 01:01:14.860
we bring you day number two and this one is going to get spicy Azale, that fan prediction

01:01:14.860 --> 01:01:18.940
blew my mind entirely, I haven't seen T1 get beaten my whole life.

01:01:18.940 --> 01:01:28.940
I know it is actually pretty shocking, but the blue wall is pretty huge on Twitter and very very loud as you see them here showing up

01:01:28.940 --> 01:01:32.940
to cheer on their team and enemy territory here.

01:01:32.940 --> 01:01:33.940
Yeah, I was going to say.

01:01:33.940 --> 01:01:40.940
I will say T1 has a couple fans in the crowd today. I think I've counted about 5,000 bigger jerseys on my walkover.

01:01:40.940 --> 01:01:45.940
I know, I noticed that. We were trying to prep together, but you were counting it. I think you heard about 3,700.

01:01:45.940 --> 01:01:46.440
100.

01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:48.380
That's a long time, because I don't have that many toes

01:01:48.380 --> 01:01:50.280
of fingers.

01:01:50.280 --> 01:01:51.900
You just kept recycling your time.

01:01:51.900 --> 01:01:53.580
See, that's how you got past 20.

01:01:53.580 --> 01:01:54.540
Really nicely done.

01:01:54.540 --> 01:01:59.180
500 sets of toes of fingers for bigger joints.

01:01:59.180 --> 01:02:00.140
Absolutely ridiculous.

01:02:00.140 --> 01:02:04.740
And honestly, this place has filled up incredibly much.

01:02:04.740 --> 01:02:06.780
And I'm also very, very interested in how this one's

01:02:06.780 --> 01:02:10.540
going to go, because T1 did not look flawless yesterday

01:02:10.540 --> 01:02:12.620
as a North American representative.

01:02:12.620 --> 01:02:15.460
I imagine you were a little bit more frustrated at TL

01:02:15.460 --> 01:02:17.380
rather than thinking that T1 were unbeatable.

01:02:17.380 --> 01:02:20.380
Yeah, no, I actually came away from that series thinking

01:02:20.380 --> 01:02:22.260
that T1 does look beatable.

01:02:22.260 --> 01:02:23.660
You know, at least in some of those games,

01:02:23.660 --> 01:02:25.980
I think in game two and in game three,

01:02:25.980 --> 01:02:27.860
Tio had a real opportunity to win.

01:02:27.860 --> 01:02:29.900
Game two in particular, I felt like competitionally,

01:02:29.900 --> 01:02:31.340
they had a better scaling cost,

01:02:31.340 --> 01:02:32.340
they had some really good answers

01:02:32.340 --> 01:02:33.460
for what T1 had drafted.

01:02:33.460 --> 01:02:34.740
And at one point they were up, what,

01:02:34.740 --> 01:02:36.660
6,000, 7,000 gold in the game?

01:02:36.660 --> 01:02:38.420
So, you know, game two, game three,

01:02:38.420 --> 01:02:40.580
both were very winnable for Tio.

01:02:40.580 --> 01:02:44.860
And coming into play, I had KC powering to both Tio.

01:02:44.860 --> 01:02:47.540
So I feel like, hey, you know, TL didn't get the job done,

01:02:47.540 --> 01:02:50.300
but if KC can get themselves in similar situations,

01:02:50.300 --> 01:02:51.580
I feel like they are a better team

01:02:51.580 --> 01:02:52.900
if I didn't bend current TL.

01:02:52.900 --> 01:02:55.660
And I feel like they should be able to at least,

01:02:55.660 --> 01:02:58.420
you know, get themselves a game, if not do a lot more.

01:02:58.420 --> 01:03:00.700
Yeah, and a lot of people have sort of explained,

01:03:00.700 --> 01:03:02.420
KC is a team that's a lot more slow,

01:03:02.420 --> 01:03:04.200
moving a lot more team fight focused.

01:03:04.200 --> 01:03:06.740
We have one of those teams in the LCK.

01:03:06.740 --> 01:03:09.860
Gen.G have generally done a very similar situation.

01:03:09.860 --> 01:03:13.620
Yes, T1 were able to get over that line, they don't.

01:03:13.620 --> 01:03:16.260
You'll have to wait until a tournament that's happening after this one.

01:03:17.060 --> 01:03:20.820
However, that was a really close series between T1 and them.

01:03:20.820 --> 01:03:24.540
This could be a similar situation, at least we could hope.

01:03:24.540 --> 01:03:27.740
And they're a big grins, especially from the face of Rupert there,

01:03:27.740 --> 01:03:30.100
who was very, very excited to get this one going.

01:03:30.540 --> 01:03:32.900
Martyr is all business, though, as you can see.

01:03:33.460 --> 01:03:36.020
And I'm looking forward to seeing what this draft is going to look like,

01:03:36.020 --> 01:03:37.980
and we're lucky because we're right in there.

01:03:38.340 --> 01:03:40.980
The Rumble, Divai, and the Jarvan all taken away here

01:03:40.980 --> 01:03:42.900
is Yike getting a lot of focus here.

01:03:42.900 --> 01:03:45.780
His vibe being banned away, very, very cool stuff.

01:03:45.780 --> 01:03:48.820
The Lee Sin and the Bard feeling obligatory.

01:03:48.820 --> 01:03:52.060
And the Varus still going to get banned away as they pick away the Orianna.

01:03:52.060 --> 01:03:52.660
I love this.

01:03:52.660 --> 01:03:55.420
Yeah, I mean, Keria is just not allowed to play Bard.

01:03:55.420 --> 01:03:55.740
Nope.

01:03:55.740 --> 01:03:59.220
This champion for that player is just way too ridiculous.

01:03:59.220 --> 01:04:00.460
My lord.

01:04:00.460 --> 01:04:03.740
It is the number one ban against C1 by a lot.

01:04:03.740 --> 01:04:04.260
Yes.

01:04:04.260 --> 01:04:05.900
75% of their games in his ban.

01:04:05.900 --> 01:04:08.700
Next most common is only 40% for the Orianna.

01:04:08.700 --> 01:04:10.700
Jace as well as the Nocturne.

01:04:10.700 --> 01:04:13.500
This is going to be playing through side lanes here.

01:04:13.500 --> 01:04:19.100
But when you do showcase this early, I always like the option for KC to kind of like pre-counter what they're doing.

01:04:19.100 --> 01:04:22.460
You know, if you want to go in towards a Zyra Con, if you want to look for those types of answers,

01:04:22.460 --> 01:04:25.420
if you want to have globals of your own to answer, that can work as well.

01:04:25.420 --> 01:04:29.500
But instead they're going to the Ash, which obviously does help a lot, you know, as far as the laning phase.

01:04:29.500 --> 01:04:33.340
You ask Seraphine, very powerful, and you do have the ability to track the enemy jungle,

01:04:33.340 --> 01:04:35.660
which is big when Yike is playing as well as he is.

01:04:35.660 --> 01:04:40.460
But that being said, I do always worry when you have now drafted two low mobility carries

01:04:40.460 --> 01:04:44.300
against Nocturne and what we can assume is going to be additional dive.

01:04:44.300 --> 01:04:50.300
Yeah, I do like having so much augmentation for a potential carry from the top lane or the jungle though.

01:04:50.300 --> 01:04:56.700
We've seen Ash Seraphine Orianna be extremely strong when something like a Zin Zhao is put in the jungle,

01:04:56.700 --> 01:05:03.580
like really being able to utilize those more bruiser type junglers as the melee is going to be locked in.

01:05:03.580 --> 01:05:05.740
This is something that Paze is very good at.

01:05:05.740 --> 01:05:17.340
I believe it was only a few weeks ago where he ended the mid game at 8-0 and the rest of his teammates didn't get any kills, so it was just all paced.

01:05:17.340 --> 01:05:18.340
And then they won the game.

01:05:18.340 --> 01:05:22.440
I will say some of the really strong pairings are going to be banable, right?

01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:27.540
Because when I think of Mel, I think of the Camel combo, that is obviously really, really strong.

01:05:27.540 --> 01:05:29.640
You can ban Alchimille, take that away.

01:05:29.640 --> 01:05:31.140
Mel Pike, another big one.

01:05:31.140 --> 01:05:32.140
Exactly, Pike, another big one.

01:05:32.140 --> 01:05:34.140
Those are the two that are really kind of across the stage.

01:05:34.140 --> 01:05:38.060
Terry is known for not having much of a champion pool, so I'm sure after that he's got nothing.

01:05:38.060 --> 01:05:39.560
Two bands? He's out.

01:05:41.060 --> 01:05:42.720
We'll have to see what he is going to pull out.

01:05:42.720 --> 01:05:44.440
He did try to play the Jax.

01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:47.440
Was hovering that one, didn't decide to go there, so we'll see.

01:05:47.440 --> 01:05:50.680
The Shen another option alongside the Mel that he could make work.

01:05:50.680 --> 01:05:52.440
But the Wukong gonna be taken away from you.

01:05:52.440 --> 01:05:54.760
I think that's a good one, I think since our still needs a look.

01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:58.400
But KC now with a couple of options, is the Camille gonna be taken away?

01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:02.880
Maybe it is just Camille Pike, and you forced them to go with something at least a little bit more interesting.

01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:05.760
Yeah, yeah, I do think it makes a lot of sense to me.

01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:08.640
You know, those are just very, very dangerous pairings.

01:06:08.640 --> 01:06:11.640
You know, pairings that can set up so easily for the Mel.

01:06:11.640 --> 01:06:15.280
Because if you have some ability to kind of get that hit confirmed for the Mel

01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:17.520
to set up these fights aggressively,

01:06:17.520 --> 01:06:20.280
Mel can easily burst you down, right?

01:06:20.280 --> 01:06:22.480
And Camille, as well as the Pike,

01:06:22.480 --> 01:06:25.320
also really assists in getting you low enough to get the execute

01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:28.280
either with the Pike ult or getting you low enough for that Mel ult

01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:29.720
to come through and get that execute.

01:06:29.720 --> 01:06:32.280
So I do expect the Pike to get banned out

01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:38.720
Unless they just think, hey, like Pyke, Nautilus, whatever, it's all the same, but I do tend to feel like Pyke is pretty dangerous in this duo.

01:06:38.720 --> 01:06:44.100
Yeah, I do feel like Nautilus is more of a Ziggs one, and I feel like Pyke is the middle option.

01:06:44.100 --> 01:06:49.360
But we'll see where they do decide to go, as the Nautilus is going to be the decision, so they take that one out of the way.

01:06:49.360 --> 01:06:57.480
And now, Paze, I mean, he can lock the Pyke right now if they would like to, say, Faker's pick until last, unless he wants to play Jace mid, which I highly doubt.

01:06:57.480 --> 01:07:02.080
It's looking somewhat flimsy on the T1 side of things.

01:07:02.080 --> 01:07:04.580
It is going to be the pike speaking of flimsy, man.

01:07:04.580 --> 01:07:06.280
Like, you can try to build health.

01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:08.180
You're still going to not have any health.

01:07:08.180 --> 01:07:10.080
Yeah, I mean, it is really interesting

01:07:10.080 --> 01:07:11.680
because there's kind of always two ways.

01:07:11.680 --> 01:07:14.180
I feel like looking at these full damage comps is you're like,

01:07:14.180 --> 01:07:15.480
wow, there's a lot of squishy members.

01:07:15.480 --> 01:07:16.480
They can all die.

01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:18.980
But the other side of it is that everyone on T1

01:07:18.980 --> 01:07:22.180
is going to do so much damage that even if you go tanky,

01:07:22.180 --> 01:07:23.680
you kind of just die too, right?

01:07:23.680 --> 01:07:24.880
Because there's so many threats.

01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:26.680
It is very, very dangerous.

01:07:26.680 --> 01:07:29.600
Games like this become so much about the initial engage,

01:07:29.600 --> 01:07:32.080
about positioning, about how the opening moments

01:07:32.080 --> 01:07:36.240
of a fight are gonna go, because people will just flop.

01:07:36.240 --> 01:07:39.000
And Sion is gonna be there to try to survive

01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:41.560
the onslaught here, to try to soak up that damage,

01:07:41.560 --> 01:07:42.400
create that space.

01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:45.040
Casey, very clearly, are drafting for a front to back

01:07:45.040 --> 01:07:45.880
team fight.

01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:48.320
You know, it's going to be all about this.

01:07:48.320 --> 01:07:51.040
Try to protect your Orianna, as well as your Ash.

01:07:51.040 --> 01:07:55.320
Utilize the counter engage of the Seraphine, of the Sion,

01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:58.240
to try to create that space and keep them alive.

01:07:58.240 --> 01:08:01.000
And that is what you are kind of hoping for.

01:08:01.000 --> 01:08:01.920
Don't believe their lives.

01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:02.420
Yeah.

01:08:02.420 --> 01:08:03.600
Vici always does it to me.

01:08:03.600 --> 01:08:05.120
Then Peri is going to come through, though.

01:08:05.120 --> 01:08:06.320
This is something that can certainly

01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:09.120
work alongside the Ariana and the Ash.

01:08:09.120 --> 01:08:11.160
As Kari is not going to be locking that one in.

01:08:11.160 --> 01:08:11.720
He's not allowed.

01:08:11.720 --> 01:08:12.120
Locking.

01:08:12.120 --> 01:08:13.240
Get it.

01:08:13.240 --> 01:08:15.440
The Akali for Faker, though, this is something

01:08:15.440 --> 01:08:18.240
that he's found a lot of success on, especially this season.

01:08:18.240 --> 01:08:22.560
This is one of the picks that he's still just incredible

01:08:22.560 --> 01:08:24.680
at making work, even though his landing phase this season

01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:28.800
hasn't necessarily been, um, the best one that he's had throughout his career,

01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:33.880
which is a pretty high bar. Let's be honest, but I'm really liking how incredibly

01:08:33.880 --> 01:08:37.000
diverse both of these comps are. Right. You can see exactly what they want to do.

01:08:37.120 --> 01:08:42.600
Casey, slow moving juggernaut style of composition, very front to back.

01:08:42.840 --> 01:08:46.560
T1, absolute chaos. Let's pull you apart.

01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:50.600
Let's get better positioning, go for the flank angles and make it happen from there.

01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:53.880
But honestly, if KC get even a little bit ahead,

01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:56.360
it's going to be hard for T1 to make their way back into the game.

01:08:56.360 --> 01:08:58.400
It really is, but they do have a lot of ability

01:08:58.400 --> 01:09:01.040
to make individual plays, to split up fights,

01:09:01.040 --> 01:09:02.640
to kind of win on different sides.

01:09:02.640 --> 01:09:04.400
Yeah, there's a bit of poke there as well with the Jace.

01:09:04.400 --> 01:09:04.960
Absolutely.

01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:06.040
Jace plus Mel, right?

01:09:06.040 --> 01:09:08.120
So they can play for the poke, someone gets low,

01:09:08.120 --> 01:09:11.200
all of a sudden you are at risk of getting burst down by Pyke,

01:09:11.200 --> 01:09:15.280
by Mel, by all of these champions that can fly in.

01:09:15.280 --> 01:09:18.160
And it's always so much harder of a job to actually mark

01:09:18.160 --> 01:09:19.720
the flanks when you have Nocturne on the team.

01:09:19.720 --> 01:09:21.280
because Nocturne turns out the lights,

01:09:21.280 --> 01:09:23.200
then all of a sudden, N'Kali is coming from one angle,

01:09:23.200 --> 01:09:24.480
Pyke is coming from another angle.

01:09:24.480 --> 01:09:27.200
It's very difficult to actually track where everyone is

01:09:27.200 --> 01:09:28.040
and stay safe.

01:09:28.040 --> 01:09:30.960
So I'm a little bit worried for the KC carries.

01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:33.400
Of course, as you get later on into the game,

01:09:33.400 --> 01:09:34.640
Orianna gets a comp like this.

01:09:34.640 --> 01:09:36.560
You can go pretty defensive if you want.

01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:38.400
We do sometimes see people off into a row,

01:09:38.400 --> 01:09:39.720
get a later Zonia's.

01:09:39.720 --> 01:09:41.160
Then that's pretty tough.

01:09:41.160 --> 01:09:44.120
But Ash and Seraphine, if you are mispositioned,

01:09:44.120 --> 01:09:45.560
there's no items that you can build

01:09:45.560 --> 01:09:46.680
that are going to save you.

01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:49.560
You are just going to be for the C1 carries.

01:09:49.560 --> 01:09:50.880
And it's going to be a bit of a difficulty.

01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:52.760
Let's have a look here, though, as Carrier.

01:09:52.760 --> 01:09:55.520
Oh, man, the matchy-matchiness of these skins, as well,

01:09:55.520 --> 01:10:00.480
absolutely loving it, as KC set up already.

01:10:00.480 --> 01:10:03.440
Some vision already laid down towards that bottom side.

01:10:03.440 --> 01:10:05.280
Zyak and Yehu getting themselves into position.

01:10:05.280 --> 01:10:08.240
Fun fact, Yehu has yet to beat Faker.

01:10:08.240 --> 01:10:11.160
Did play for DRX, obviously, in the LCK,

01:10:11.160 --> 01:10:13.480
so did have an opportunity to do so.

01:10:13.480 --> 01:10:15.800
But currently, 0-6 as far as games.

01:10:15.800 --> 01:10:19.800
And Faker is feeling pretty confident in this matchup.

01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:21.300
Absolutely should be.

01:10:21.300 --> 01:10:24.300
I mean, this is the matchup that we actually saw Quid pick into Faker,

01:10:24.300 --> 01:10:25.800
so he's playing both sides of it now.

01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:28.800
This is a matchup that a lot of the Caulie players really do like,

01:10:28.800 --> 01:10:32.800
and the question is kind of like, can you find the angles to make the big plays

01:10:32.800 --> 01:10:35.800
because otherwise Orianna generally just slowly builds a lead,

01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:38.800
auto-attacking you down in lane, slowly kind of whittling you out,

01:10:38.800 --> 01:10:40.800
and can create a pretty big CS advantage.

01:10:40.800 --> 01:10:44.800
So you have to be willing and able to go for those aggressive plays.

01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:48.960
Well, he's already taken a favor of damage here, as we can see, down to about 250.

01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:52.400
Let's get a little bit back in response, but it's not necessarily working out.

01:10:52.400 --> 01:10:55.040
Ladies and gentlemen, Vendetta is Riftbound's next set.

01:10:55.040 --> 01:10:59.360
It's arriving July 31, and it brings together new champs, iconic rivalries,

01:10:59.360 --> 01:11:01.040
and beautiful art from across Rintara.

01:11:01.040 --> 01:11:03.840
Whether you want to collect or play Vendetta, there's something for you.

01:11:05.120 --> 01:11:07.440
And one of the casters have been saving their pennies.

01:11:07.440 --> 01:11:11.920
I was gonna say, my pennies have also been attempted to be saved when I'm not buying baby things.

01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:15.340
I'm not going to lie, and let's take it down to about a hundred here is yeah

01:11:15.340 --> 01:11:16.960
Who is doing what it says on the tin?

01:11:16.960 --> 01:11:19.960
I am range champion prior to level six against Akali

01:11:20.280 --> 01:11:23.980
Bigger though just popping his plot now, but he is getting very low

01:11:24.160 --> 01:11:30.480
Yeah, he was doing a great job here and it's kind of a battle for Akali against the manna of Orianna great

01:11:30.480 --> 01:11:34.080
Oh, yeah, let's go again to come on through there is carry it does get himself out of the way

01:11:34.080 --> 01:11:39.320
It looks like Boussion Kalis feeling pretty good about this matchup for now though is yike bounces on top of owner

01:11:39.320 --> 01:11:45.180
It's a great spell shield to deny a lot of that the yike now gets control and with KC controlling the bottom side

01:11:45.500 --> 01:11:49.240
This is dangerous for carriers making his way over the dust bringer doing a little bit of work

01:11:49.240 --> 01:11:54.260
There is there is the bone skewer to connect from carrier this red buff getting involved and owner just smites it away

01:11:54.260 --> 01:12:02.360
So um thanks for all of your time KC. Yeah, because meanwhile bot lane pays never even moved and now carry a looking

01:12:02.360 --> 01:12:07.360
Yeah, looking for another angle as boost you're gonna have to flash pays now gonna be moving as he looks to try and get some damage

01:12:07.360 --> 01:12:14.160
Damage down, Bustio going in, lived through the ignite zone, now Carrier needs to get himself out of the way, some defense here from Ono, but he gets into the fog of war.

01:12:14.160 --> 01:12:21.660
He has to help back the flash bone, Stuart, as Callist now has to flash away, and Ono's made his way in. That's first blood for the knock turn, and PACE!

01:12:21.660 --> 01:12:27.660
He even manages to get the execute before going down. Yike will fall as well, it's a 2-4-1 for T1.

01:12:27.660 --> 01:12:37.300
That final auto there from Pace, takes out the dog, Yike falls, Callist goes down, Callist was unable or maybe didn't think he needed to flash

01:12:37.300 --> 01:12:44.260
initial hook there from Kariah and that goes so bad for KC off of this invade. They put a lot

01:12:44.260 --> 01:12:49.300
of time into this. Look at the CS between Oner and Yike right now, 23-11. You used that following

01:12:49.300 --> 01:12:55.620
par out to try to play for this invade. They never were able to actually push back the KC members,

01:12:55.620 --> 01:13:00.340
but it didn't matter because Oner steals it away. He smites it out. Buccio is forced to flash here

01:13:00.340 --> 01:13:05.780
early and then when the hook comes back up a little bit later, it all came down to this flash hook

01:13:05.780 --> 01:13:07.020
hook here from Kariah.

01:13:07.020 --> 01:13:08.740
Kallis needed to actually flash this.

01:13:08.740 --> 01:13:11.380
I do believe he had time to react, but he flashes late.

01:13:11.380 --> 01:13:13.780
And then at that point, owner is just going to flash follow.

01:13:13.780 --> 01:13:15.260
You're never going to get out of there alive.

01:13:15.260 --> 01:13:19.020
And then the last auto attack from Paze does kill off.

01:13:19.020 --> 01:13:21.900
Yike doesn't survive as long as then a fairy

01:13:21.900 --> 01:13:23.220
believe is going to take him down.

01:13:23.220 --> 01:13:23.740
Yep.

01:13:23.740 --> 01:13:26.300
So really nicely played here from T1.

01:13:26.300 --> 01:13:28.180
At least able to get one back though is KC.

01:13:28.180 --> 01:13:29.820
1,000 gold going to be the advantage.

01:13:29.820 --> 01:13:32.620
The problem is, this is exactly the type of game

01:13:32.620 --> 01:13:34.220
that T1 want to be playing, right?

01:13:34.220 --> 01:13:41.080
Chaotic fast and loose winning the trades getting the advantages and that is precisely what's happening here in this are battle of

01:13:41.840 --> 01:13:44.120
former and current T1 top laners

01:13:44.120 --> 01:13:48.840
It is the J. Sturring a good job boost your great sidestep there, but he's still very very dead

01:13:48.840 --> 01:13:54.360
That's gonna be the order to come through from Payne's execution and odia bad just met worse

01:13:54.440 --> 01:13:59.520
Yeah, that is really really tough great side step from boost you up with no sums in a long lane

01:13:59.520 --> 01:14:04.680
Where are you gonna go buddy? There's there's no way out from that position and that is the danger

01:14:04.680 --> 01:14:09.180
You know of picking these type of champions in is the playmakers available there

01:14:09.180 --> 01:14:16.520
We saw Kariah going crazy on the Camille at times and now you know off to a great start here in that bot lane pays

01:14:17.040 --> 01:14:23.820
He's just getting so strong and and we have seen it so many times when melz get really really fed all of a sudden all it

01:14:23.820 --> 01:14:27.260
takes QER and you are basically just gone.

01:14:27.260 --> 01:14:28.580
Well, Kerri, I looked at the angle there.

01:14:28.580 --> 01:14:30.300
Another bone skewer is going to connect.

01:14:30.300 --> 01:14:32.420
Anklist is extraordinarily dead.

01:14:32.420 --> 01:14:34.020
Nothing the Ash could do.

01:14:34.020 --> 01:14:35.300
Tried to take Kerri away with him,

01:14:35.300 --> 01:14:36.300
but didn't have the damage.

01:14:36.300 --> 01:14:38.340
And T1 go to 4-1 now.

01:14:38.340 --> 01:14:41.660
This game is very swiftly falling apart.

01:14:41.660 --> 01:14:42.500
Oh, yeah.

01:14:42.500 --> 01:14:44.220
It is a 2K lead at five minutes.

01:14:44.220 --> 01:14:45.500
So you can say that again.

01:14:45.500 --> 01:14:46.500
That is a crazy.

01:14:46.500 --> 01:14:48.500
This game is swiftly falling apart.

01:14:48.500 --> 01:14:49.340
Thank you, Max.

01:14:49.340 --> 01:14:50.180
You're welcome.

01:14:50.180 --> 01:14:53.780
That is a crazy advantage there for T1 over KC.

01:14:53.780 --> 01:14:58.880
at this point. And I talked about it in draft. When you are going a low mobility style of

01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:02.780
champion against a comp like this, if you get behind, you are going to get one shot.

01:15:02.780 --> 01:15:07.400
It is so hard to actually play the game. And Ash and Seraphine are looking like they're

01:15:07.400 --> 01:15:11.120
going to be paper. This is the kind of game that Casey really needs to sort of slow down

01:15:11.120 --> 01:15:15.080
the pace. They have a lot of scaling. Oh, another bone skewer connects there. Even the route

01:15:15.080 --> 01:15:19.640
to connect onto Calistus. Boussio is just dead. Pais gets the execution one more time.

01:15:19.640 --> 01:15:26.380
Dagas aren't going to quiet land as the second one does at least the dragon might be considered, but I imagine T1 probably just want to keep killing them

01:15:26.380 --> 01:15:28.700
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a pretty good objective as well

01:15:28.700 --> 01:15:31.660
I know that racking up the gold here is now it's nearly a

01:15:32.240 --> 01:15:39.960
3000 gold lead here at six minutes. They're gonna be taking the dragon as well even faker in the isolated 1v1 in mid in this melee versus range

01:15:39.960 --> 01:15:42.620
He's up a couple CS. Yeah, so he's actually like boldly

01:15:42.620 --> 01:15:47.260
Oh another burn skill to come through here is at least yike is able to secure his grump

01:15:47.260 --> 01:15:55.340
Congratulations. That does, yeah, that's, that is, that is something. Um, I've got the, uh, the silver lining, right?

01:15:55.340 --> 01:15:56.540
It's a very dark cloud.

01:15:56.540 --> 01:15:58.380
Looking more of an iron lining in this one.

01:15:58.380 --> 01:16:06.620
Yeah, but, uh, Carrier had probably the best pike game I have ever seen this season. They did not win.

01:16:06.620 --> 01:16:14.060
So maybe there's, there's something there. Ulti to come through as Kalista is going to survive for the moment. Ignite ticking down, but will not kill.

01:16:14.060 --> 01:16:19.760
So the ash is going to live whether that means very much the stuff getting better for Casey

01:16:20.280 --> 01:16:24.080
Jury is still out at least it didn't get worse. So there is definitely that

01:16:24.360 --> 01:16:29.120
Well, he's not in lane. It got a bit worse. We didn't get as worse as it could

01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:32.440
At least it could have been worse. Yeah, there we go

01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:36.040
So it wasn't the worst possible thing to happen, but now Buzio unfortunately

01:16:36.200 --> 01:16:41.720
He is probably gonna get dove here. Well, there's a fight going on elsewhere as well as yank looking for fake

01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:44.220
He goes into the shroud though and just ults away.

01:16:44.220 --> 01:16:46.760
That is going to be Hayes underkilling spree.

01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:51.220
Karius surviving as well as the successful 2v1 dive in the bottom lane.

01:16:51.220 --> 01:16:52.720
No sums needed there.

01:16:52.720 --> 01:16:56.120
None available for T1, but they were so confident they could actually make that dive happen.

01:16:56.120 --> 01:16:58.220
Beautifully set up again by Karius.

01:16:58.220 --> 01:17:01.020
As soon as he hits the underdose, as soon as you hit any sort of CC,

01:17:01.020 --> 01:17:05.320
the Solar Stairs guarantee that damage is going to come through and they are bursting you down.

01:17:05.320 --> 01:17:09.920
Even in the isolated 1v1 on the top side, obviously you are expecting to be down a bit as the Sion,

01:17:09.920 --> 01:17:12.520
But you were not expecting to be down this much 20 CS

01:17:12.520 --> 01:17:18.200
He's already taken two plates as well during doing great in the laning phase and did honestly have a pretty tough outing

01:17:18.200 --> 01:17:22.240
Yesterday in the laning phase is Morgan where he had been solo killed a number of times

01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:25.440
But looking to be in really good form

01:17:26.000 --> 01:17:32.560
Thus far in game one versus Conor and it's it's actually kind of cute right goes from playing against Morgan to

01:17:32.720 --> 01:17:37.680
Playing against Connor it is kind of just like a reunion in the top lane as far as the T1 matchups

01:17:37.680 --> 01:17:42.320
concerned as owner going to take one of the grubs. Paranoia comes through pretty defensively here

01:17:42.320 --> 01:17:48.080
as the fear is not quite going to work out too much but now Doran just dives in goes actually

01:17:48.080 --> 01:17:52.720
to the skies into the middle of three people and then wanders away. The arrow is going to sail by

01:17:52.720 --> 01:17:57.280
and T1 now realizing that they can go back looking for the two-for-one grub straight and Yaak has

01:17:57.280 --> 01:18:02.560
to get out of their pace looking for Clist as well who's just not allowed to lane if it's a 1v1

01:18:02.560 --> 01:18:09.540
And so there we go. T1 locked down all three of the grubs in the end to move to a 3.5k gold advantage

01:18:09.540 --> 01:18:14.940
Yeah, that is really nice for T1 when you already have all these winning lanes when you already have the push across the map here

01:18:14.940 --> 01:18:20.100
Be able to get those grubs just gonna help to accelerate the game that much more look at boost you on the topside

01:18:20.100 --> 01:18:25.780
It's kind of desperation ours. He's sitting behind to see if Doran would over extend and they could look for a surprise play

01:18:26.140 --> 01:18:31.940
With this Seraphine, but Seraphine's not even level six. So it's not really that dangerous whatsoever

01:18:31.940 --> 01:18:41.940
and Kalista is down here on that bot side, but it's always pretty scary walking in and T1 are just going to continue to invade here with owner and Karya in such good positions.

01:18:41.940 --> 01:18:44.940
They are not going to be losing any 2v2s.

01:18:44.940 --> 01:18:48.940
Nope, that's going to be the steal as well as the eye-cast to flash away, they can just backflip over the wall,

01:18:48.940 --> 01:18:56.940
but when I don't think this Dogo is going to be able to do anything, does manage to bounce over the wall and escape, the flash is now down and T1 claim control of the enemy jungle.

01:18:56.940 --> 01:19:00.300
jungle yeah I mean they're just keeping the pressure on because like look at this

01:19:00.300 --> 01:19:04.100
right look at the CS is that is a giant circle that's a really big circle but I

01:19:04.100 --> 01:19:09.540
think I'm a lot of circle helps yeah almost 40 CS in the jungle yike has been

01:19:09.540 --> 01:19:13.740
a guy who in the LEC has really been impressing me and has been able to

01:19:13.740 --> 01:19:19.340
actually create some some pretty massive advantages 4kc a number of times but in

01:19:19.340 --> 01:19:23.940
this game his owner getting very far ahead and these are their individual

01:19:23.940 --> 01:19:27.940
that in this head-to-head which I think is going to be a very important one throughout the series.

01:19:27.940 --> 01:19:31.940
Well, I hope that it gets more important as well. Good flash away from Khalees who does manage to land the arrow.

01:19:31.940 --> 01:19:37.940
I believe Rebobble was on cooldown, but the paranoia and Oda comes in and just puts him down!

01:19:37.940 --> 01:19:40.940
Another bonus kill to come on through and obviously that one's going to hit.

01:19:40.940 --> 01:19:48.940
And Karyas does go down as the response and Yike will be able to survive, but they did at least get their target.

01:19:48.940 --> 01:19:54.620
Yeah, I mean, Keria dies, but you're giving the Mel another kill, and Seraphine's the one taking the kill from you, so who cares, right?

01:19:54.620 --> 01:19:55.120
Yeah.

01:19:55.120 --> 01:20:07.500
Paze is just getting so ridiculously fed, Faker getting active on the map here, moving around, knowing you just want to keep evading, you want to keep the pressure up, do not allow Yike any space to be able to recover.

01:20:07.500 --> 01:20:14.100
Well, all he comes through here is Yike doesn't avoid a bit of the damage, but he was never winning that one-to-one! Paze is able to put him down!

01:20:14.100 --> 01:20:20.180
Oh dear, that looked like a little bit of a sign of desperation as Durango on 1v3 here towards his top side

01:20:20.180 --> 01:20:25.740
He wants in on the fun, but I have a feeling he may just be going down turns his attention to the wave and

01:20:26.060 --> 01:20:32.600
Will be falling so there's a little bit more back here for KC as they do what they can to limit this gold advantage

01:20:32.600 --> 01:20:37.900
Yeah, it is something and I mean for KC. You've got to stay active on the map. Try to find some sort of plays

01:20:38.580 --> 01:20:42.540
You know overload one side look for something because I don't think this is a game

01:20:42.540 --> 01:20:46.160
You can play slow anymore, you know T1 are gonna be snowballing towards a quicksoul

01:20:46.160 --> 01:20:52.400
They have a massive advantage if you then somehow stabilize the game at this deficit and farm and farm and farm

01:20:52.400 --> 01:20:54.400
Then you are gonna have a chance in a fight

01:20:54.620 --> 01:20:56.460
That didn't look very fair

01:20:56.460 --> 01:21:00.500
Kind of is going to come through and try and defend is Kariah

01:21:00.700 --> 01:21:05.460
Still wanting to find an angle as he gets hit by the kitchen sink and taken down

01:21:05.620 --> 01:21:09.720
Okay, Kariah having a little too much fun buddy. Yeah, let's take a look at the mini map

01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:14.780
No one from his team is anywhere near him. I think he's been listening to all of those people saying he's the best player in the world

01:21:14.780 --> 01:21:16.080
And it's got to his head

01:21:16.080 --> 01:21:21.560
Is now pays looking for yeah who one more time here towards this bottom side as we finally have a mage matchup

01:21:22.360 --> 01:21:23.880
But men

01:21:23.880 --> 01:21:28.420
Yeah, maybe he was actually reading what Buccio is saying is there's a paranoia towards the bottom side of the map

01:21:28.420 --> 01:21:33.120
Oh, no is just going to put down yeah, and I do want to say something about this

01:21:33.120 --> 01:21:36.240
We did have onus stats come up before like 42 and 8 was the win rate

01:21:36.240 --> 01:21:39.120
But one of those losses was against harmon like e-sports

01:21:39.640 --> 01:21:46.600
There's a reason why T1 are our second seed and it's because Hanawa were able to win that best of five and owner's nocturn

01:21:46.600 --> 01:21:48.040
Was just not that good

01:21:48.040 --> 01:21:54.580
But historically it has been a lot more like this where he just wins during going to take down the Ikea as T1

01:21:54.580 --> 01:21:58.240
Just celebrate by roaming down the river and claiming even more kills

01:21:58.920 --> 01:22:02.680
Baker even had another charge of that perfect execution to take him down

01:22:02.680 --> 01:22:04.360
Do you call it a charge? I don't think it's really a charge

01:22:04.360 --> 01:22:09.780
He has a second activation and I'm going to grab the double dragon. I'll give it to you. Thanks, man. No problem

01:22:09.780 --> 01:22:15.160
Appreciate it. You got two charges of it. Yeah, you do you got one charge does one thing another charge does completely different thing

01:22:15.160 --> 01:22:19.920
Yeah, theoretically different ability, but that's alright completely different. It's like Silas

01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:25.400
He's got like his abductive scum two charges two charges. Yeah, one does dash one does chain two charges. There you go

01:22:25.400 --> 01:22:29.680
Yeah, it's another cloud soul T1 obsessed with cloud souls kind of like me

01:22:29.680 --> 01:22:34.220
and they are very good at getting them the RNG it just just works out but now

01:22:34.380 --> 01:22:40.860
They can move towards having infinite movement speed and for a composition like this Cloudsoul is probably one of the most scary ones

01:22:41.260 --> 01:22:46.960
Yeah, it is definitely pretty terrifying when you have a comp that wants to play a lot through side lanes

01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:53.280
Once the one through one you have owner and carry a move around enough all the time given that additional movespeed pretty scary

01:22:53.280 --> 01:22:59.280
I think there could be worse ones a 4kc, but they are just trying to hold on here

01:22:59.680 --> 01:23:02.560
And you can see all of these KC members are on topside.

01:23:02.560 --> 01:23:05.840
All five of them. There's no one right now answering Faker in the bot lane.

01:23:05.840 --> 01:23:08.240
So they're going to try to overload and potentially make a play here.

01:23:08.240 --> 01:23:10.720
Oh, Paze might be taking down the rebuttal now and cool down.

01:23:10.720 --> 01:23:14.080
The arrow is going to hit and Yike going to get over that wall.

01:23:14.080 --> 01:23:18.400
Paze will be shut down finally as Karya trying to get rid of Kanna.

01:23:18.400 --> 01:23:20.320
And this is a great play from KC.

01:23:20.320 --> 01:23:22.720
They just get that shut down and they get themselves out.

01:23:22.720 --> 01:23:24.800
And they get the flash, which is really, really big.

01:23:24.800 --> 01:23:27.680
So getting the flash there off of Paze, you know, he had the flash.

01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:28.440
He had the rocket ball.

01:23:28.440 --> 01:23:33.200
They was trying to get out wasn't able to do it ever play here from Casey they realized and we can't just play

01:23:33.200 --> 01:23:38.040
131 so they said all five top and they're looking to try to answer a play to try to make something happen

01:23:38.040 --> 01:23:39.480
They are able to get a kill

01:23:39.480 --> 01:23:44.880
But of course in the meantime Faker has been pushing down on Bonsai and they still do have an enormous

01:23:45.040 --> 01:23:51.680
Advantage for pace for owner for Doran this top lane tower very close to going down here as well for Doran as Kerry

01:23:51.680 --> 01:23:52.720
Is just gonna

01:23:52.720 --> 01:23:57.640
Continually stay active on the map here clearing out vision and just playing in the face of KC

01:23:57.640 --> 01:24:03.120
Yep, Serpent's Fang first here for Doran as well often times with this Grasp J spilled

01:24:03.120 --> 01:24:06.000
We do see the black cleaver that wanted to go to

01:24:06.400 --> 01:24:09.960
Ripping out that shield as quickly as possible as only with the dust bringer

01:24:10.200 --> 01:24:13.960
Seeing what he can do, Boussio getting an encore and it actually manages to clip fake

01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:19.400
It goes into the shroud though to keep himself safe and now just going to dash in realizes that he was gonna go down

01:24:19.400 --> 01:24:24.200
tried to get whatever he could and that in fact is nothing and the Casey

01:24:24.200 --> 01:24:28.200
composition I think is starting to work starting to come together and T1

01:24:28.200 --> 01:24:34.240
also have opened the the tent doors if you can call them that and the circus

01:24:34.240 --> 01:24:38.440
is really in town. It does feel like Casey are just they're just gonna squat

01:24:38.440 --> 01:24:42.200
up they're gonna walk around as four as five and T1 have been looking to you

01:24:42.200 --> 01:24:46.320
know play the map make individual plays but it's very dangerous if Casey are

01:24:46.320 --> 01:24:48.120
They're just always going to be grouped to look for those.

01:24:48.120 --> 01:24:51.160
And this time, Faker does get caught out.

01:24:51.160 --> 01:24:52.160
They just caught Pace.

01:24:52.160 --> 01:24:53.240
They get a couple of kills back.

01:24:53.240 --> 01:24:54.160
But it's not the end of the world,

01:24:54.160 --> 01:24:55.640
because T1 has been pushing everywhere,

01:24:55.640 --> 01:24:57.240
taking every objective.

01:24:57.240 --> 01:24:59.040
They got that second dragon uncontested.

01:24:59.040 --> 01:25:00.360
They're going to take the Herald uncontested.

01:25:00.360 --> 01:25:02.280
They got the three grubs.

01:25:02.280 --> 01:25:05.600
And so everything's still looking pretty under control here.

01:25:05.600 --> 01:25:08.080
But T1 definitely want to clean it up a little bit

01:25:08.080 --> 01:25:10.040
and make sure they're cognizant of the fact

01:25:10.040 --> 01:25:12.960
that KC are overloading one side of the map over and over.

01:25:12.960 --> 01:25:18.080
Yep, at this point, like with a 6,000 gold lead at 5, sorry, 16 minutes into the game.

01:25:18.960 --> 01:25:21.040
Yeah, you're still probably going to be pretty happy.

01:25:21.040 --> 01:25:26.160
I don't think that Tom and Mata are going to be all that mean about this mid-game,

01:25:26.680 --> 01:25:30.040
because this lead was just absurd from the beginning.

01:25:30.040 --> 01:25:33.360
Still four minutes until Baron, which is just kind of crazy.

01:25:33.360 --> 01:25:36.200
So the point is less than that, though, at one and a half.

01:25:36.480 --> 01:25:39.640
Yep, it is not too far away, but these two teams obviously,

01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:47.640
You know, they have some familiarity, you know, with some of these players, but T1 has a ridiculous amount of international experience.

01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:53.640
This is the previous international appearances, you know, compared to that 4KC.

01:25:53.640 --> 01:25:57.640
Buzio as well as Yachter, obviously having the most experience with Black West and G2.

01:25:57.640 --> 01:26:00.640
This is the experience gap in games, which is just ridiculous.

01:26:00.640 --> 01:26:02.640
You look at Faker versus...

01:26:02.640 --> 01:26:06.640
It's not fair to ever have Faker in these graphics at all.

01:26:06.640 --> 01:26:08.640
Almost ten times as many games as Yachter who has played.

01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:12.480
who has played. Yeah, but almost 10 times as many games as any other player on the planet.

01:26:12.480 --> 01:26:20.880
Isaac. Yeah, Casey combined have less games than fake. So that is kind of crazy. And that's

01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:25.600
always the scary thing is that team one managed to become so composed in all these games.

01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:28.880
And a lot of that really does come down to the amount of times that they've been here,

01:26:28.880 --> 01:26:33.080
the amount of times they've been these massive games in these big situations. And we had

01:26:33.080 --> 01:26:37.080
close on the desk yesterday. And he was saying that he was feeling like yesterday they were

01:26:37.080 --> 01:26:40.560
a little bit nervous, you know, they were kind of getting out of the way a bit, but

01:26:40.560 --> 01:26:44.860
that's a day they would be more calm. But it's like, I just don't feel like you see

01:26:44.860 --> 01:26:47.340
T1 looking nervous almost ever.

01:26:47.340 --> 01:26:49.440
You will never be able to outcome T1.

01:26:49.440 --> 01:26:50.440
No.

01:26:50.440 --> 01:26:55.360
They are just, they are very comfortable. They're also in Dajun, right? Like, this is

01:26:55.360 --> 01:26:57.240
not very far from home.

01:26:57.240 --> 01:27:02.600
And Kangnam is actually on, like, the Dajun side of Seoul as well. So it's even quicker

01:27:02.600 --> 01:27:06.440
for them to get here than people in other parts of Seoul as well.

01:27:06.440 --> 01:27:10.760
So, yeah, it's not exactly the roughest of travel times,

01:27:10.760 --> 01:27:14.640
as Doran feeling a little bit more like domestic Doran here today

01:27:14.640 --> 01:27:18.240
in this game as he does teleport away, not wanting to get dove.

01:27:18.240 --> 01:27:18.720
Yep.

01:27:18.720 --> 01:27:21.280
Keria makes his way up and just going to cross map,

01:27:21.280 --> 01:27:24.160
and they might be able to take an inner turret off the back of that

01:27:24.160 --> 01:27:27.840
in trade for probably some bouncy gold as the Rift Herald is thrown down.

01:27:27.840 --> 01:27:28.880
Is this an inhibitor turret?

01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:29.400
I think it is.

01:27:29.400 --> 01:27:30.280
That's what I was going to say.

01:27:30.280 --> 01:27:33.000
is that Clis, you know, is up here on the topside working in the tower.

01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:35.800
But Casey sent four members there to try to make that play.

01:27:35.800 --> 01:27:38.120
Bigger was already at the tower and they dropped the Herald.

01:27:38.120 --> 01:27:39.600
So they're going to get the Tier 2 easily.

01:27:39.600 --> 01:27:41.640
They got three plates off that as well.

01:27:41.640 --> 01:27:45.520
And Kerry is still just soaking experience on this topside being annoying.

01:27:45.520 --> 01:27:46.520
They pushed in mid lane.

01:27:46.520 --> 01:27:48.320
Now they're taking away jungle camps.

01:27:48.320 --> 01:27:51.080
They see, no, they can't win any even fight.

01:27:51.080 --> 01:27:53.000
So they kind of have to do this.

01:27:53.000 --> 01:27:55.400
But T1 is responding appropriately.

01:27:55.400 --> 01:27:57.320
You just full-court press, push everywhere.

01:27:57.320 --> 01:27:59.800
Casey has to commit four or five to one side to get a kill.

01:27:59.800 --> 01:28:03.560
Even if you get that kill, it's going to be a gold negative play basically every single time.

01:28:03.560 --> 01:28:08.120
You just let them and make sure that you have the cross map plan to take 2 for 1 in every scenario.

01:28:08.120 --> 01:28:12.440
And that is what's happening. The unstoppable onslaught comes through the flash over from Canada.

01:28:12.440 --> 01:28:15.800
They really want to kill Doran, try and get something off the back of this play.

01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:17.720
Shockwave, fantastic from Yahoo!

01:28:17.720 --> 01:28:21.320
Using the sty on in order to get that extra range on the hula hoop.

01:28:21.320 --> 01:28:26.120
Beautifully done. Pays not quite able to get there in time to save his top laner.

01:28:26.120 --> 01:28:30.280
But here is that sort of trade back that you have to be aware of.

01:28:30.280 --> 01:28:33.560
Faker's in that top lane, getting that wave shoved in and T1,

01:28:33.560 --> 01:28:36.360
getting to work here in mid as well.

01:28:36.360 --> 01:28:37.480
Boneskiw is going to go wide.

01:28:37.480 --> 01:28:39.840
That is a great beat drop there on the carrier,

01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:41.720
but not too much more going to come of it.

01:28:41.720 --> 01:28:42.200
Exactly.

01:28:42.200 --> 01:28:43.760
And you just look into the topside jungle.

01:28:43.760 --> 01:28:45.080
Owner is taking your red buff.

01:28:45.080 --> 01:28:47.120
Faker is working on your tier two tower.

01:28:47.120 --> 01:28:48.120
And then engage.

01:28:48.120 --> 01:28:50.520
They're also going to take Buseo as well by the looks of things.

01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:51.960
And there is the Boneskiw to connect.

01:28:51.960 --> 01:28:54.840
Death from below is named very correctly.

01:28:54.840 --> 01:28:56.840
Carrier is going to help lock down that kill.

01:28:56.840 --> 01:28:58.840
Yank taking some damage from Paze as well.

01:28:58.840 --> 01:29:00.840
But also, the daggers doing some work here.

01:29:00.840 --> 01:29:03.840
Yank looking a little bit aggressive for T1.

01:29:03.840 --> 01:29:04.840
They're still looking for Morris.

01:29:04.840 --> 01:29:07.840
Carrier wanting to take down Boosier, gets the stun,

01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:10.840
and that's going to set up for the reset to come on through.

01:29:10.840 --> 01:29:13.840
Owner also will just kill Yank.

01:29:13.840 --> 01:29:15.840
And it's all just starting to fall apart for KC.

01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:17.840
If it hadn't fell apart already.

01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:20.840
Yeah, I mean, the last wheel has fallen off the car.

01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:21.840
We'll say that much.

01:29:21.840 --> 01:29:22.840
Wait, but now it's just a sled.

01:29:22.840 --> 01:29:23.840
Yep.

01:29:23.840 --> 01:29:25.840
That might be okay

01:29:27.120 --> 01:29:30.560
All right, canner it's up to you you're the big lumberjack that can run pretty fast

01:29:30.560 --> 01:29:35.120
We're gonna need this sign to make some stuff happen, but I yeah, I don't know I think

01:29:35.840 --> 01:29:38.120
It's a 9.5 K gold advantage

01:29:38.120 --> 01:29:41.320
There's a stun on the door and the unstoppable onslaught is going to come through as well

01:29:41.320 --> 01:29:46.680
You're gonna get charges Calist trying to do damage to Doran and it's just not gonna work door

01:29:46.680 --> 01:29:49.480
I'm gonna show him how it's done as before he goes down

01:29:50.120 --> 01:29:52.520
And it's a one-for-one trade in the end

01:29:52.520 --> 01:29:55.960
Anyone for one probably better for KC though to be honest

01:29:56.640 --> 01:30:01.500
Although not Doran really just does not feel like he's really getting any damage there

01:30:01.500 --> 01:30:06.360
You know with even kind of locking up Doran just didn't have the damage actually knocked down Doran quickly at all

01:30:06.360 --> 01:30:10.660
Then he turns he gets a kill in that situation where it looked like he was completely dead to rights

01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:13.120
Odor is farming every camp of yikes

01:30:13.120 --> 01:30:16.520
He did the best off then went down to the blue buff killed yike on it took it's almost a

01:30:16.520 --> 01:30:22.040
It's a flame horizon. It's a flame horizon in 10 CS in the jungle. Crazy at 21 minutes

01:30:22.040 --> 01:30:26.880
I mean look at look at the list farm as well, right? Yeah, there is 60 CS up on the end of the AD carry

01:30:27.240 --> 01:30:27.880
All right

01:30:27.880 --> 01:30:31.600
Well, uh, yike is going to get paranoid and I do not blame him

01:30:31.840 --> 01:30:35.600
We'll be taken out here as Canada not gonna be able to help that situation at all

01:30:36.440 --> 01:30:39.040
And maybe the maybe the flame horizon just happens now

01:30:40.120 --> 01:30:43.160
He needs 12 like three camps. It's gonna take three camps. All right

01:30:43.160 --> 01:30:48.860
There's a beautiful rebuttal as busio just going to get executed by pays dash cannon to try and get himself a little bit

01:30:48.860 --> 01:30:53.960
Further away good sidestep from Calista's a flash comes through from pays and he is just going to walk his way out of that

01:30:53.960 --> 01:30:57.280
That kind of felt like a 1v3 play, but he is just kind of that fed

01:30:57.520 --> 01:31:03.520
Yeah, he is that fed me is that good makes the play happen those his damage thresholds there is able to kill off

01:31:03.760 --> 01:31:10.480
Busey with that final cue well meanwhile faker doing a faker is doing pushing the side lane all game long

01:31:10.480 --> 01:31:14.640
Faker has not really had to be involved in anything and he doesn't really been involved in anything

01:31:14.920 --> 01:31:18.360
But it's just keeping active on the map forcing them to actually respond to these waves

01:31:18.360 --> 01:31:25.400
And the rest of T1 are just roaming around sealing every jungle camp winning every skirmish and taking every objective

01:31:25.440 --> 01:31:29.980
And KC have kind of got to decide when they want to actually leave the base in flight

01:31:29.980 --> 01:31:32.820
I feel like at this point you probably don't even bother for soul

01:31:32.820 --> 01:31:37.040
Maybe you just try to turtle up for elder, but maybe they'll come out if they start baron or something

01:31:37.200 --> 01:31:39.600
It just feels like if you leave your base now

01:31:39.600 --> 01:31:44.440
I can't imagine a world in which you are not just dying on the way to the soul

01:31:44.720 --> 01:31:49.360
Yeah, it's I mean it's every play you make is probably like a 1% play right?

01:31:49.360 --> 01:31:54.760
So you kind of have to I think you just have to send it. You just have to send it as it's only gonna get worse

01:31:54.760 --> 01:32:00.080
We explain this already right any time they go for like a trade or a cross map or an overload

01:32:00.200 --> 01:32:02.480
You're going to lose more than you gain

01:32:02.480 --> 01:32:07.800
And so maybe just trying to catch them off guard and go for the hail Mary might be the best way to get it done

01:32:07.800 --> 01:32:15.040
But honestly, there aren't a lot of good choices in this situation when you're 10,000 gold behind and Baron has only just spawned

01:32:16.240 --> 01:32:21.920
Speaking of spawn, this is kind of shellacking territory as well. He's the one that coined how a shellacking is supposed to work a

01:32:22.320 --> 01:32:26.640
Very quick victory under 25 minutes. This might be heading in that direction

01:32:26.640 --> 01:32:31.140
But we'll see there is the paranoia to come down very defensively though is he actually uses it to reposition

01:32:31.140 --> 01:32:34.820
position, Oda gets in there, it'll be a big shutdown and that is going to go over to

01:32:34.820 --> 01:32:40.660
Yeahhu, Karrie getting amongst it though as we can see 1 vs 3 now as the ulti from Paze

01:32:40.660 --> 01:32:44.460
comes on down and that is going to lock up a kill but Paze getting a little bit lower.

01:32:44.460 --> 01:32:48.460
Faker finally making his presence known as he tries to get over the wall and does use

01:32:48.460 --> 01:32:53.700
the ulti to do so but Kanna blasts Kones himself and will try to get this teleport out.

01:32:53.700 --> 01:32:57.780
Faker knows that he is going to be able to escape and Doran just going to grab the soul

01:32:57.780 --> 01:33:01.780
But that fight a lot closer than I think T1 were expecting.

01:33:01.780 --> 01:33:02.780
Yeah, it absolutely was.

01:33:02.780 --> 01:33:04.780
And they are able to get a couple kills.

01:33:04.780 --> 01:33:07.780
They take out owner, KC, not allowing T1 to actually set up.

01:33:07.780 --> 01:33:10.780
They just pull the trigger immediately as soon as they see anyone they could go on.

01:33:10.780 --> 01:33:12.780
They pull send it on owner.

01:33:12.780 --> 01:33:15.780
He of course was able to turn around, get that kill onto Kalis with the rest of his team.

01:33:15.780 --> 01:33:18.780
But a couple of kills go the way of KC.

01:33:18.780 --> 01:33:20.780
The problem is, even if you take down owner and carry,

01:33:20.780 --> 01:33:25.780
if Perry's, Baker, Doran, all very strong at this point of the game,

01:33:25.780 --> 01:33:28.780
and they're going to grab soul for themselves here as well,

01:33:28.780 --> 01:33:31.620
as they just continue pushing in these waves

01:33:31.620 --> 01:33:34.780
and owner has secured the Flame Horizon 222.

01:33:34.780 --> 01:33:35.780
My lord.

01:33:35.780 --> 01:33:39.420
116, not something you see every day,

01:33:39.420 --> 01:33:42.580
three full levels of 15 to 12.

01:33:42.580 --> 01:33:45.140
All right, this might be the fastest Flame Horizon

01:33:45.140 --> 01:33:46.900
I have ever seen in my life.

01:33:46.900 --> 01:33:49.340
And also, it's probably the first one in the jungle

01:33:49.340 --> 01:33:51.780
that I have seen outside of the funnel meadow,

01:33:51.780 --> 01:33:53.780
which was just a, that's not included.

01:33:53.780 --> 01:33:54.620
Good dark times.

01:33:54.620 --> 01:33:58.060
was definitely Dark Times. The arrow is going to connect onto Faker, there is the Unstoppable

01:33:58.060 --> 01:34:02.300
Onslaught and the Shockwave. That's a lot of R buttons, but I think it's required in

01:34:02.300 --> 01:34:06.620
order to make sure they lock down this Akali and get the kill as quickly as possible. Now

01:34:06.620 --> 01:34:14.580
they've got 40 seconds before this Baron is going to be taken down. But due to the mascot

01:34:14.580 --> 01:34:20.300
prices moment of the game, that soul does get picked up from T1 and they should be able

01:34:20.300 --> 01:34:25.260
to use that to book it towards his Baron. Hang on. They're surely not able to just take

01:34:25.260 --> 01:34:29.380
this for free with Faker dead. Look at the vision. There's no vision at all. And Buseo

01:34:29.380 --> 01:34:32.260
is going to try to move forward and get some vision back, but it's so scary to actually

01:34:32.260 --> 01:34:37.740
walk in here. And, uh, Alist, I think they may be aware of it now, but it just feels

01:34:37.740 --> 01:34:41.100
like it's way too late. It doesn't matter. Yag will never get here in time. And so that

01:34:41.100 --> 01:34:45.300
is going to be Baron secured. Faker, five seconds to go, but they're still just going

01:34:45.300 --> 01:34:49.980
ascended into that backline, the on-core is decent, the back damage on the

01:34:49.980 --> 01:34:53.500
Callister is massive, owner will be taken out though, his carrier will also be

01:34:53.500 --> 01:34:58.060
secured. Yike doing a whole bunch of work here as, oh my never mind, Faker's

01:34:58.060 --> 01:35:01.460
going to show up, Kanna looking to be taken down here as Boussio trying to

01:35:01.460 --> 01:35:04.940
help out with a bit of drop in the beat, but it's not going to quite work. Yeah, who?

01:35:04.940 --> 01:35:09.180
Here as well, doesn't have his ultimate for the next little while, but a couple of

01:35:09.180 --> 01:35:12.540
seconds and that'll be back up again in T1. That was a little bit of a bridge

01:35:12.540 --> 01:35:18.020
too far. Yeah, they decided to go for that fight, having a bit of fun, I think, in this one, in a few different moments.

01:35:18.020 --> 01:35:22.780
Oh, there's the rebuttal, and Kolas's not gonna get killed by the ulti, but he's still has to go home.

01:35:22.780 --> 01:35:28.860
Yeah, that was pretty terrifying. The amount of damage coming out from Paze here has the mage eyes on 12 stacks.

01:35:28.860 --> 01:35:35.220
Faker nearly has his death cap as well, and he is gonna be a pretty huge threat here too.

01:35:35.220 --> 01:35:40.940
You can definitely see if KC were even remotely close in gold that the 5-5s are very winnable, right?

01:35:40.940 --> 01:35:49.240
There are so many squishy members, they have some good AOE CC on the KC side, but they just fell so far behind that it has been incredibly difficult.

01:35:49.240 --> 01:35:53.740
And I mean, just look at the initial damage that comes down onto Kalis as they go in.

01:35:53.740 --> 01:35:57.540
This is not like a shockwave, that is just him.

01:35:57.540 --> 01:35:59.040
That's Umbrell blades.

01:35:59.040 --> 01:36:00.540
It's just owner.

01:36:00.540 --> 01:36:09.240
And on the other side, nicely played by Yike is able to finish off owner and then you get that reset, takedown carrier who was quite low.

01:36:09.240 --> 01:36:17.240
From here, you know T1 not able to kill off the side is very, very tanky, but not able to stop that Baron either.

01:36:17.240 --> 01:36:26.240
And a fun fact, once again talking about this Nocturne, this is the second largest CS deficit at 25 minutes in international history.

01:36:26.240 --> 01:36:34.240
As owner is going to get a secure rampage for Pays 10-2 and 7 now on the metal, also having a very good performance.

01:36:34.240 --> 01:36:37.600
KC just doing their very best to try and defend and honestly their very best

01:36:37.600 --> 01:36:39.300
It's just not gonna be enough not at this stage

01:36:39.300 --> 01:36:43.400
So we have a look at the coinbase gold grind owner is just yeah

01:36:44.000 --> 01:36:46.920
Making good money leave some gold for the other people

01:36:47.320 --> 01:36:50.760
Or maybe just kill the Nexus and then you don't need to really worry about it

01:36:50.920 --> 01:36:57.900
I'm gonna just prove that that you are the carry and he absolutely is a man what redemption for his nocturn as well

01:36:58.600 --> 01:37:01.480
After that series against homo life eSports just showing me yes

01:37:01.480 --> 01:37:06.480
This is a devastating pick for me. Do not disrespect it.

01:37:06.480 --> 01:37:08.480
I don't think anyone will for the next little while.

01:37:08.480 --> 01:37:11.480
Definitely do not think you can disrespect him on really anything.

01:37:11.480 --> 01:37:12.480
He has a good point.

01:37:12.480 --> 01:37:14.480
Especially after a game like this.

01:37:14.480 --> 01:37:19.480
Casey yesterday had the second largest gold lead period at an international ever.

01:37:19.480 --> 01:37:21.480
And then this is against them.

01:37:21.480 --> 01:37:25.480
The second largest CSDA 25 in jungle specifically in international history.

01:37:25.480 --> 01:37:30.480
So two gold records set in different directions with Casey over these last two days.

01:37:30.480 --> 01:37:36.880
days and definitely liking the direction yesterday a lot more. Yeah we're absolutely dominating

01:37:36.880 --> 01:37:40.960
but we'll have to see you know how they can kind of bounce back from a game like this because

01:37:41.520 --> 01:37:46.880
you know I do think you know yike has been incredible throughout this season but having

01:37:46.880 --> 01:37:52.240
a game like this against T1 it's hard right it's frustrating when they're in your face and we'll

01:37:52.240 --> 01:37:56.480
have to see if he's going to be able to bounce back because that's is something that in the past

01:37:56.480 --> 01:38:01.120
he had received criticism for his ability to stay calm in these moments internationally,

01:38:01.120 --> 01:38:06.800
to be able to bounce back after a tough game, and there's no one harder to do that against than T1.

01:38:06.800 --> 01:38:11.600
Yeah, I think one thing that does help is that you basically lost the game at six minutes,

01:38:11.600 --> 01:38:15.440
so they've had a lot of time to be like, no, it doesn't, like, what happens from here doesn't

01:38:15.440 --> 01:38:19.280
really matter. Let's just try and throw the kitchen sink at them and see what happens.

01:38:19.280 --> 01:38:25.520
And I think stylistically, this composition from T1 should either do this or lose, right?

01:38:25.520 --> 01:38:32.600
like it's a very one or the other style of composition. So maybe there's a little bit of that. That's the the coping that I would go with.

01:38:32.600 --> 01:38:38.960
That's that's how you have to look at it. You can't read into the game too much. You just have to say, you know what, we're confident in our preparation.

01:38:38.960 --> 01:38:44.960
This game went bad and it went bad early. Move forward, believe in your practice, believe in your ability to take them down.

01:38:44.960 --> 01:38:48.960
They felt pretty confident coming in. So, you know, just go next and see what happens.

01:38:48.960 --> 01:38:52.880
And guess what? They won't be able to play these champions again. You will not need to worry about

01:38:52.880 --> 01:38:55.640
owner turning the lights off because he won't have the ability to do so in the

01:38:55.640 --> 01:38:59.120
next game. They will remain on. They will remain on. There's nothing that they can

01:38:59.120 --> 01:39:01.800
really do about it. They could even maybe make more lights with a twisted

01:39:01.800 --> 01:39:06.240
fade pickup, something like that. It's absolutely fine. But, Casey right now on

01:39:06.240 --> 01:39:10.480
the ropes and we do have an Elder Dragon spawning in 20 seconds time. Let's see

01:39:10.480 --> 01:39:15.400
whether they can get over to that one as it won't be Exodia quite as I don't

01:39:15.400 --> 01:39:18.800
know whether they'll have time to get a Baron before they just push and win the

01:39:18.800 --> 01:39:23.040
game with three inhibitors down so owner can get the double-flame horizon.

01:39:23.040 --> 01:39:28.400
Ah that's the strategy they heard that it's only the second largest CS deficit.

01:39:28.400 --> 01:39:32.960
As all right yike in a lot of trouble here pays looks for the ulti that was an ambitious one is

01:39:32.960 --> 01:39:36.800
there's a paranoia never mind not ambitious at all now they're gonna look to just try and kill

01:39:36.800 --> 01:39:42.960
them all bone skill connects that is three on the floor shockwave is incredible as carrier goes down

01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:48.400
but he's the only one to fall as the immediate revenge for t1 does come down the form of t1

01:39:48.400 --> 01:39:53.520
One player is left till last here as Kanna will try and charge some Q's underneath these

01:39:53.520 --> 01:39:55.600
Nexus Tarots, but there's battle against Faker.

01:39:55.600 --> 01:39:58.340
I don't think he's won, that he is going to win.

01:39:58.340 --> 01:40:04.120
Nexus Tarots fall, no Elders required here for T1 as they will obliterate KC in the first

01:40:04.120 --> 01:40:05.120
game.

01:40:05.120 --> 01:40:11.120
An incredible first game here to kick things off against KC T1, showing their strength

01:40:11.120 --> 01:40:16.680
with these kind of bot lanes here, bringing out the Mal, bringing out the Pyke.

01:40:16.680 --> 01:40:19.920
It was terrifying. Desk, what a case you have to do to come back.

01:40:23.600 --> 01:40:30.400
Well, guys, as we say in the LCK, that was a shell at game now T1 showing

01:40:30.400 --> 01:40:33.200
there's levels to three O's in the first round.

01:40:33.560 --> 01:40:38.200
And now I'm saying he got a lot of people.

01:40:38.200 --> 01:40:40.280
I saw laughing at deep liquid.

01:40:43.000 --> 01:40:44.640
Okay. Not so funny now.

01:40:44.640 --> 01:40:48.840
All right, that's team order blasted you.

01:40:48.840 --> 01:40:50.960
This one was crazy again.

01:40:50.960 --> 01:40:54.040
Main specific points are going to be jungle as well as bottom lane.

01:40:54.040 --> 01:40:57.320
And this one also started out with an attempted invade

01:40:57.320 --> 01:40:58.720
against owner.

01:40:58.720 --> 01:41:01.000
And owner hits another smite.

01:41:01.000 --> 01:41:02.160
He keeps it going.

01:41:02.160 --> 01:41:06.440
Yeah, it backfired so hard considering you had mid and bot lane.

01:41:06.440 --> 01:41:09.240
Both had prior for the side of KC.

01:41:09.240 --> 01:41:12.040
So they moved it aggressively for owner.

01:41:12.040 --> 01:41:13.800
His smites have been so good.

01:41:13.800 --> 01:41:17.480
And then the ensuing play, Casey trying back out and T1,

01:41:17.480 --> 01:41:20.480
they're still interested, and they managed to find a couple of kills.

01:41:20.480 --> 01:41:22.720
Just being able to find windows like these,

01:41:22.720 --> 01:41:25.120
because, yes, owner ends up getting the smite on the red,

01:41:25.120 --> 01:41:29.520
but then recognizing that they were splitting with Yaito on topside

01:41:29.520 --> 01:41:31.520
to leave the jungle, and then of course,

01:41:31.520 --> 01:41:34.840
Kalista not flashing the initial hook flash from Pike,

01:41:34.840 --> 01:41:38.880
and then they get like four kills off of those two flash timers.

01:41:38.880 --> 01:41:42.120
It was ridiculous of how much it was a dominating bot lane.

01:41:42.120 --> 01:41:45.320
I mean, it's one of these things that sometimes in pro play, you see it flashed down, like,

01:41:45.320 --> 01:41:48.920
okay, how do they follow up on this, maybe they'll get a kill later, they'll find an angle,

01:41:48.920 --> 01:41:50.760
but just have pressure. This was not bad.

01:41:50.760 --> 01:41:51.260
Yeah.

01:41:51.260 --> 01:41:55.160
This was, we're gonna kill you again and again, and again, we have a five minute timer to just

01:41:55.160 --> 01:42:01.880
murderize you as much as possible. And the big beneficiary of this was Paze, who got

01:42:01.880 --> 01:42:08.040
ten kills in this game, had a fantastic mel game again yesterday, and he's just been on fire on this pick.

01:42:08.040 --> 01:42:14.800
Exactly they're running these these kill lanes for him bottom lane with mel plus x champion either Camille or pike

01:42:14.800 --> 01:42:21.800
And so when you are down to flash that early on you are a very vulnerable target and the enemy jungle so far ahead because not only

01:42:21.800 --> 01:42:27.480
Did owner smite his own camp but yike drops a camp when you're walking to the enemy side to go for an inmate in the first place

01:42:27.480 --> 01:42:31.440
So he's already behind there and then owner got that first blood money, too

01:42:31.520 --> 01:42:37.640
So super accelerated doctrine with Zen gets to keep on ulting you keep on keep his pressure up around the kill lane

01:42:37.640 --> 01:42:44.100
And the thing is they banned the Nautilus and the Camille and the pike still available and onus Nocturne

01:42:44.420 --> 01:42:48.620
He has been legendary on this pick so many times 43 to 8

01:42:49.340 --> 01:42:53.700
Recorder over his career. It is such an interesting 18s. Let's get a hall of fame

01:42:59.140 --> 01:43:01.140
Please we need to know it is

01:43:02.300 --> 01:43:04.980
Ridiculous because when they got that pressure they kept going behind

01:43:04.980 --> 01:43:11.220
behind like a tier 3 turret to try and find a pick on towards either Busey or Kallis threatening Gromp

01:43:11.220 --> 01:43:16.820
So like that second highest CSD at 25 that Nautry really able to get but because you just never felt

01:43:17.100 --> 01:43:22.280
Like secure and being able to take your camps. Yeah again history being made that second highest

01:43:22.440 --> 01:43:26.660
Gold difference or CSD difference at 25. I mean we are in Korea

01:43:26.660 --> 01:43:33.500
It is known in the top lane as a flame horizon flame one of the greats in the top lane through low history here in Korea

01:43:33.500 --> 01:43:40.620
and in FlyQuest and yet again a shout out there by owner doing that to yike and it wasn't just

01:43:40.620 --> 01:43:44.780
that happening here I mean it was just a comprehensive victory you look at that gold

01:43:44.780 --> 01:43:49.980
graph it was never in doubt well look there's a little bit of the stock where the gold graph

01:43:49.980 --> 01:43:59.260
is Casey's zoom in get the telescope out and you get to on the gold graph but there were a

01:43:59.260 --> 01:44:03.100
couple of moments where you know they're like all right whatever we'll full send you know owners

01:44:03.100 --> 01:44:06.160
straight into the back one and they're able to kill him.

01:44:06.160 --> 01:44:08.900
But still, I mean, this was an absolute stomp.

01:44:08.900 --> 01:44:13.020
And to me, a lot of the things remain true of continuing off

01:44:13.020 --> 01:44:15.020
what they showed yesterday.

01:44:15.020 --> 01:44:16.900
Being able to start off defending that invade

01:44:16.900 --> 01:44:19.700
so incredibly well, I already felt like I was like, oh my god,

01:44:19.700 --> 01:44:21.900
they're going to pick up exactly where they left off.

01:44:21.900 --> 01:44:25.500
So everybody in play-ins already was terrified of T1,

01:44:25.500 --> 01:44:28.540
but it seems like they are going to just take care of business

01:44:28.540 --> 01:44:29.300
very quickly.

01:44:29.300 --> 01:44:30.780
And if you're a reaper, you just have

01:44:30.780 --> 01:44:32.300
to erase what happened in the early game.

01:44:32.300 --> 01:44:34.740
because this team is much more stable than they would they should.

01:44:34.740 --> 01:44:38.340
If you're Seraphine and Ash are losing Flash that early on versus a Pike,

01:44:38.340 --> 01:44:39.940
it's going to be ugly.

01:44:39.940 --> 01:44:42.900
And so, from what we saw from Buccio Enchilis yesterday

01:44:42.900 --> 01:44:45.540
was a much better stable lane.

01:44:45.540 --> 01:44:47.940
You have to believe it's going to be better than that.

01:44:47.940 --> 01:44:50.580
Yeah, but before we forget this match,

01:44:50.580 --> 01:44:54.180
it's time to toss who are Hyper Rex reflex replay

01:44:54.180 --> 01:44:57.100
with Keria with the sole read on the Pike

01:44:57.100 --> 01:44:58.940
to keep owners tethered together.

01:44:58.940 --> 01:45:02.940
Oh man, he was just styling on them this game to flash read here.

01:45:02.940 --> 01:45:03.940
Oh!

01:45:03.940 --> 01:45:04.940
I got you, owner.

01:45:04.940 --> 01:45:06.940
He took the fear down there.

01:45:06.940 --> 01:45:07.940
What?

01:45:07.940 --> 01:45:08.940
But he's not done.

01:45:08.940 --> 01:45:11.940
He's not done after making this phenomenal play with his own skin, mind you.

01:45:11.940 --> 01:45:13.940
Yeah, that's right.

01:45:13.940 --> 01:45:15.940
He actually continued on after that.

01:45:15.940 --> 01:45:17.940
He solo killed the Seraphine as well.

01:45:17.940 --> 01:45:19.940
He was just dunking on them all game long.

01:45:19.940 --> 01:45:21.940
And again, second rotation of bans.

01:45:21.940 --> 01:45:22.940
They banned all of us.

01:45:22.940 --> 01:45:23.940
They banned Camille.

01:45:23.940 --> 01:45:24.940
He's like, I'm fine.

01:45:24.940 --> 01:45:25.940
I'm good.

01:45:25.940 --> 01:45:31.660
He escaped from the Seraphine kill with the proto down to it. He's like I'm out. He still lives. It's like pretty tough

01:45:31.660 --> 01:45:37.700
He's just styling it's rough. It's rough because it literally that play happened right after Casey got a peg bot lane

01:45:37.700 --> 01:45:42.460
You're like, okay, maybe they can leave this back. No, no, they can't they can't call it back in

01:45:42.460 --> 01:45:45.020
It's gonna be a tough task here for any team

01:45:45.020 --> 01:45:51.220
But Casey what the bounce back after that tough one will be back with game number two after this you're watching and aside 2026

01:46:21.220 --> 01:46:22.580
in the first game.

01:46:22.580 --> 01:46:26.560
An incredible first game here that kicks off against KC.

01:47:26.560 --> 01:47:31.560
The final, we had expected with the 12,000 rounds in the world.

01:47:31.560 --> 01:47:35.560
We won the world, you'll be smooth, do some work and kick through.

01:47:35.560 --> 01:47:38.560
The action is going to ease the...

01:47:39.560 --> 01:47:42.560
When I was a player, if I was to like make a misplay,

01:47:42.560 --> 01:47:45.560
maybe it's my mouse, maybe it's my armrest,

01:47:45.560 --> 01:47:48.560
something feels wrong. If you were at home, you wouldn't do that.

01:47:48.560 --> 01:47:53.560
The Infinite Position Armrest is part of the largest you can have on stage standard initiative

01:47:53.560 --> 01:47:58.560
if aimed to bring your home or training room settings to the tournament stage.

01:47:58.560 --> 01:48:03.560
Not only that, but other players will also make the new team stronger.

01:48:03.560 --> 01:48:07.560
The most comfortable, stronger play comes naturally.

01:51:23.560 --> 01:51:52.560
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, MSI 2026.

01:51:52.560 --> 01:51:58.520
Yes, we already through game one. It was a swift one. This one was kind of done pretty quickly

01:51:58.520 --> 01:52:03.800
We're hoping that Casey can bounce back afterwards. Just shake your sillies out, right? That was game one against T1

01:52:04.160 --> 01:52:07.360
Let's get into the real stuff now. It's not match point just yet

01:52:07.360 --> 01:52:15.000
There's still plenty to play for plenty of time. Just relax and don't lose by as much as you want in Korea

01:52:15.520 --> 01:52:18.160
At an international. How bad could it be?

01:52:18.160 --> 01:52:24.280
Hey, look MSI like that here a few times ago where the like Busan became a library

01:52:27.040 --> 01:52:30.240
Yeah, every time no, you're in the finals, right?

01:52:31.440 --> 01:52:33.440
Let's just not tell them

01:52:33.480 --> 01:52:34.980
That it's planes

01:52:34.980 --> 01:52:38.240
Do you want historically known for getting knocked out of tournaments early?

01:52:38.840 --> 01:52:43.140
Much like their world's record where they didn't even win the first MSI

01:52:43.640 --> 01:52:45.640
You know crazy years ago

01:52:45.640 --> 01:52:52.880
Yeah, full enough completely. Let's have a look at the drop tier as we dive into it. T1 are gonna ban away the viand the rumble again

01:52:52.880 --> 01:52:55.760
Should just be the Javan if they want to keep things the same

01:52:55.760 --> 01:52:58.480
Pocky ban and the cheeky Pocky ban to come on through

01:52:59.040 --> 01:53:06.640
Casey I'm assuming is his first pick then because otherwise you would probably ban a Bard. Yeah, and also T1 still has a ban

01:53:06.640 --> 01:53:10.600
So of course, yeah, so Buzio also is really well known for his Bard

01:53:10.600 --> 01:53:14.800
And the question is are you willing just like first pick it because if you're not then I think Terry's gonna take it

01:53:14.800 --> 01:53:20.640
right so that it is always quite a risk. Boussio to me was definitely the best western bar player.

01:53:20.640 --> 01:53:25.840
I think he was absolutely, yeah last year, one of the best bar players in the world period,

01:53:25.840 --> 01:53:30.240
but I think we have the two best bar players in the game today, the best, because unfortunately,

01:53:30.240 --> 01:53:35.920
Karrie exists. Yeah, and Boussio might even use Karrie's skin. They walk the Casio in step. This

01:53:35.920 --> 01:53:40.720
is what I was going to say is that in the west, not a lot of people are willing to blind bar,

01:53:40.720 --> 01:53:46.880
right? So I am very curious to see what Bousso's answer is because if you're not willing to blind it,

01:53:46.880 --> 01:53:52.400
I expect Karrie to take it 100% and then to me that is KC laying a trap. Whether or not the trap

01:53:52.400 --> 01:53:57.040
will work at all remains to be seen. We've seen a few teams attempt this. Yeah. Do you want me to

01:53:57.040 --> 01:54:01.680
tell you how it goes? They lose. Yeah, Karrie has a highlight reel and then they lose the game.

01:54:03.120 --> 01:54:08.320
It might, you know, there might be an option, there might be an angle and obviously the Cassiopeia

01:54:08.320 --> 01:54:14.100
is very strong but it is a risk to say the least as owner is considering a

01:54:14.100 --> 01:54:16.840
wukong here would be a lot of power coming out of the jungle definitely a

01:54:16.840 --> 01:54:21.160
little bit of a different vibe although still wanting to race to level six in

01:54:21.160 --> 01:54:25.000
that early stage of the game I mean carrying competitive play this whole

01:54:25.000 --> 01:54:29.160
year has not yet lost on the bark I played only five times yeah but he's not

01:54:29.160 --> 01:54:32.800
allowed to and exactly that's what I was gonna say is the reason he's only played

01:54:32.800 --> 01:54:40.480
five times is always bad. The number one pick fan against C1 by far is 75% over 75% now of their

01:54:40.480 --> 01:54:45.520
games. And so Camille's support could be the answer. You know, I'm kind of curious because

01:54:45.520 --> 01:54:52.160
Boussue is a very flexible player. He is famed for all kinds of crazy stuff. So we will see,

01:54:52.160 --> 01:54:57.520
you know, how spicy they want to get in the bot lane. Would it just be Zig's Camille to come out?

01:54:57.520 --> 01:55:05.160
They got rid of it and that's why I think that this is somewhat curious right because are they gonna play?

01:55:05.800 --> 01:55:06.920
That that is true

01:55:06.920 --> 01:55:12.480
You could theoretically play it towards the topside but this is the lane we saw yesterday and it was into the Caitlyn

01:55:12.480 --> 01:55:16.400
But if I remember correctly, so the Ezreal Camille going to come out once again

01:55:17.120 --> 01:55:22.600
I'm not feeling all that enthusiastic about it as now Paze can just move to something else if you would like to

01:55:22.600 --> 01:55:26.800
He doesn't need to opt in to the Caitlyn matchup. I even though the Caitlyn did win

01:55:26.800 --> 01:55:32.640
yesterday. I believe it was KC versus DCG that that did occur in. And honestly I

01:55:32.640 --> 01:55:36.440
feel like if you were playing the Caitlyn Bard it's totally fine as long as

01:55:36.440 --> 01:55:39.200
you just don't opt into some of these crazy level ones right where it's like

01:55:39.200 --> 01:55:43.080
Camille gets in on you and gets insane value with the hail of blades. If they

01:55:43.080 --> 01:55:46.280
chunk you out like that then yeah they can obviously win the lane but if

01:55:46.280 --> 01:55:49.720
Caitlyn Bard just kind of play it slow and steady get a few levels before you

01:55:49.720 --> 01:55:54.080
actually fighting this guy becomes very very risky for Camille to hook shot in.

01:55:54.080 --> 01:56:01.580
If you hook shot in and you get barred stunned against the wall, you get Katelyn's wrapped, you get kited out, it is very tough.

01:56:01.580 --> 01:56:07.080
So we will see how they're going to be able to pull it off, but Boosier definitely not someone to shy away from these kind of things.

01:56:07.080 --> 01:56:11.580
He is the guy famously that played as your support. He has played all kinds of stuff.

01:56:11.580 --> 01:56:16.880
He is that kind of a player who, if he believes it is the right matchup, he's not going to worry about it going wrong.

01:56:16.880 --> 01:56:18.380
He's just going to think about it going right.

01:56:18.380 --> 01:56:23.500
I always respect that because that is the kind of player that Kerry is to and that is you know part of why

01:56:24.180 --> 01:56:30.860
Kerry has become the best support ever right as he has that that unwavering confidence in himself and his ability to pull off any

01:56:30.860 --> 01:56:35.540
Champion any matchup in any position. Yep, and you can also hex tech ultimate in the bar

01:56:35.540 --> 01:56:37.540
So he can't magically journey away, which is kind of fun

01:56:37.660 --> 01:56:41.420
We did see that yesterday and it did work for getting a couple of the picks

01:56:41.420 --> 01:56:45.260
I just don't know whether it's quite going to be enough as the Gallio is going to be taken away from faker

01:56:45.260 --> 01:56:51.900
I think Gallio Wukong, a fantastic combo, great one to deny as well as Faker has been pretty good on the Gallio throughout the years.

01:56:52.900 --> 01:56:58.100
And one more band to come through here. Will it be more focused towards Yike? That is the question.

01:56:58.100 --> 01:57:01.620
I think so. It makes a lot of sense, right? You know, you just keep limiting.

01:57:01.620 --> 01:57:04.460
Oh, it's like Panna's gonna have that now taken away.

01:57:04.460 --> 01:57:09.100
Yeah, his signature pick, I would say for sure, is NAR. You know, very, very good on it.

01:57:09.100 --> 01:57:17.620
Noorin is a really strong laner, excellent on the NAR, so we'll see what they're actually looking to play here for Doran.

01:57:17.620 --> 01:57:23.620
Obviously last game was very very focused around playing through size lanes, they have the knocker, they have the streets, they look for some big leads.

01:57:23.620 --> 01:57:29.920
So I do think that PC are going to want Doran playing something that is a carry that can have kind of more individual agency.

01:57:29.920 --> 01:57:34.540
Oh the Vayne, I think maybe, kind of might be looking for a Crocodile.

01:57:34.540 --> 01:57:36.420
Yeah, that would make a lot of sense.

01:57:36.420 --> 01:57:40.960
See what Doran has as far as an answer, or he could just take the Renekton himself.

01:57:40.960 --> 01:57:42.760
Yep, definitely Ken.

01:57:42.760 --> 01:57:44.760
It's not like he can't just play.

01:57:44.760 --> 01:57:46.760
Doran can play a tank if he wants.

01:57:46.760 --> 01:57:49.260
He is very comfortable in all kinds of matchups.

01:57:49.260 --> 01:57:50.260
He can play weak side.

01:57:50.260 --> 01:57:52.260
He can play carry versus carry.

01:57:52.260 --> 01:57:55.020
But he is really more known for his teamfighting.

01:57:55.020 --> 01:57:57.700
When I think about Doran, I think about his greatest moments.

01:57:57.700 --> 01:58:01.260
It's things like his Gragas, being able to actually take over in a teamfight, being

01:58:01.260 --> 01:58:03.700
able to make those big moments for the team.

01:58:03.700 --> 01:58:06.380
And it's going to be sitting around from Faker.

01:58:06.380 --> 01:58:11.060
really cool because I know a lot of people do not feel comfortable in a lot of matchups

01:58:11.060 --> 01:58:15.580
against Gatsio, so going to be able to take a little bit of a longer range approach.

01:58:15.580 --> 01:58:19.220
And it's also pretty nice for setting up, you know, alongside the Caitlyn, you have

01:58:19.220 --> 01:58:21.420
low committal engage now with the scatter of the week.

01:58:21.420 --> 01:58:25.540
So you can set up a trap line as people are walking in, you can be fishing with scatters,

01:58:25.540 --> 01:58:29.540
fishing with poke, fishing with Bartalds, you know, if you hit any of that, now all of

01:58:29.540 --> 01:58:33.340
a sudden you have a tremendous amount of damage and follow up coming through.

01:58:33.340 --> 01:58:37.820
Kiana has been getting some pretty good buffs on this patch, so...

01:58:37.820 --> 01:58:41.340
I like how Boussir can't hover Vayne anymore, so we hover Space Vayne instead.

01:58:41.340 --> 01:58:46.940
I love that. The Renekton seemed like something that we were going to see.

01:58:46.940 --> 01:58:51.540
That will be locked in for Kanna. Feels pretty good now that...

01:58:51.540 --> 01:58:59.340
Oh, the trundle! So I was really interested in whether or not the trundle was going to come out if a tank was locked in for KC.

01:58:59.340 --> 01:59:04.940
But instead, T1 are looking at it as a potential, I guess, theoretically top lane option.

01:59:04.940 --> 01:59:09.340
I don't love it into the Renekton. In my experience, it can be pretty difficult to actually get effective trades.

01:59:09.340 --> 01:59:16.540
This, I like a lot more. I mentioned the Gragas because I feel like it is a pretty good neutralizing pick into the Renekton.

01:59:16.540 --> 01:59:18.940
And probably Doran's best champion.

01:59:18.940 --> 01:59:24.540
And you can ult Camille out of the ultimatum. So you can kind of break the ultimatum with that, which is really, really nice.

01:59:24.540 --> 01:59:27.980
great disengage against potential Qiyana, hard engages.

01:59:27.980 --> 01:59:30.420
Qiyana, you know I mentioned the buff on the patch,

01:59:30.420 --> 01:59:34.700
did get a 20% damage increase to monsters on the Q.

01:59:34.700 --> 01:59:37.540
So that is pretty significant, helped to clear a fair bit

01:59:37.540 --> 01:59:40.780
as you're obviously using that quite a lot.

01:59:40.780 --> 01:59:45.460
But it is T1 here, with a lot of CC,

01:59:45.460 --> 01:59:47.380
they are playing more that front to back style.

01:59:47.380 --> 01:59:48.860
It's not that they can't do any sort of,

01:59:48.860 --> 01:59:51.100
you know, aggressive plays through side lanes and guard,

01:59:51.100 --> 01:59:53.380
but this is not a 1-3-1, this is push outsides,

01:59:53.380 --> 01:59:58.340
look for teamfights, and I do feel like for KC, they want to be hyper aggressive, they

01:59:58.340 --> 02:00:02.100
need to find creative angles, and they're going to have to find a way for the Kiana,

02:00:02.100 --> 02:00:06.420
for the Camille to get past the Scatter of the Week, to get past the Trap Line, to get

02:00:06.420 --> 02:00:11.220
past this Gragas and this Wukong if they want to have success, because you really do need

02:00:11.220 --> 02:00:14.740
to get on top of that Syndra and that Gatelin to have success in a 5v5.

02:00:14.740 --> 02:00:20.420
Yeah, and I really like how they've sort of mixed this single target focus, like the unleashed

02:00:20.420 --> 02:00:24.040
power from the Syndra. We know it as the gameplay button, right? Like you're going to basically

02:00:24.040 --> 02:00:28.480
kill someone. Ace in the Hulk and then come through for the finish. And then someone's

02:00:28.480 --> 02:00:32.320
trying to block, but you get a cast to the face and that separates them. There's a lot

02:00:32.320 --> 02:00:38.240
of cool combos here. Not to mention the tempered fate also being a bit of a thorn in the side.

02:00:38.240 --> 02:00:44.360
The T1, a lot more combo based for this composition. So we get onto the rift for game number two.

02:00:44.360 --> 02:00:50.000
T1 looking for match point. KC looking to try and come back after a difficult game one.

02:00:50.000 --> 02:00:55.280
Yeah, they are going to have to try their best to just shrug it off, bounce back, let's see what they can get done.

02:00:55.280 --> 02:00:58.980
And you've got to be confident if you're going to play with Camille, you've got to be a madman.

02:00:58.980 --> 02:01:05.740
Well, Kariah already down to 50% has to use the heel, and dodges away from a couple of mystic shots to avoid full depth,

02:01:05.740 --> 02:01:08.240
but that is a good start here for KC.

02:01:08.240 --> 02:01:10.740
Yeah, that is really good. That's the kind of thing you need to do, right?

02:01:10.740 --> 02:01:15.840
Like, that is why you have to play with incredible amounts of confidence if you're going to play Camille when I think about

02:01:15.840 --> 02:01:18.340
guys like Kariah and all and having amazing games on this.

02:01:18.340 --> 02:01:25.020
Yeah, it is them throwing themselves into danger on repeat trying to start flights trying to get value as owner here is

02:01:25.420 --> 02:01:28.860
Going to be starting on the enemy blue buff and I don't think they really know about this

02:01:29.460 --> 02:01:31.300
Russian in already pays

02:01:31.300 --> 02:01:36.100
Does have to use the barrier doesn't get a lot of value for it as we can see just eats a bit of ignite

02:01:36.380 --> 02:01:40.700
But our boost here just making sure that he cycles those cooldowns as quickly as possible

02:01:40.700 --> 02:01:46.140
And I talked about the level one this is the kind of lane you need to play you cannot allow Caitlin and bar to just sit there and

02:01:46.140 --> 02:01:50.780
and stay full health, and be comfortable because you will not win out in this situation.

02:01:50.780 --> 02:01:51.820
But my fear is,

02:01:51.820 --> 02:01:55.820
owner is going to get level 3 and then come from behind them and there's no flash on Buseo.

02:01:55.820 --> 02:01:59.340
And I think we are seeing the first blood already shape up right now,

02:01:59.340 --> 02:02:03.340
and it's probably going to be on to Buseo unless Doran is in trouble here.

02:02:04.060 --> 02:02:06.220
Yeah, Kanna is not going to kill him just yet.

02:02:06.780 --> 02:02:08.860
I think we're going to watch Buseo die.

02:02:08.860 --> 02:02:12.620
Well, we're not right yet. We're watching the Gromp die first.

02:02:12.620 --> 02:02:14.060
Close your eyes, Casey fans.

02:02:14.060 --> 02:02:14.540
Oh dear.

02:02:14.540 --> 02:02:18.540
Um, Isaac has warned you, okay, so do not be surprised.

02:02:18.540 --> 02:02:22.540
It's okay now. Yeah, Boussio just gonna get ushered out of the lane.

02:02:22.540 --> 02:02:25.540
Ono makes his way over. Boussio down to 200.

02:02:25.540 --> 02:02:29.540
Make that 150. The Blackboard piece has been made! His first blood is picked up!

02:02:29.540 --> 02:02:31.540
Here comes Yike, though.

02:02:31.540 --> 02:02:33.540
Alright, let's see whether they can clean this one up. Pays down to 100.

02:02:33.540 --> 02:02:36.540
Callis now in trouble, though. Headshot comes through, and Yike just puts him down.

02:02:36.540 --> 02:02:39.540
Ono is able to trade. That makes it a 2 for 2 in the end.

02:02:39.540 --> 02:02:43.540
It did become a 2 for 2, but Callis just went way too fast.

02:02:43.540 --> 02:02:47.800
By time for Yike to come down, it felt like he got over-aggressive there,

02:02:47.800 --> 02:02:51.140
shifted in, had the barrier flash, maybe felt like he could outplay it,

02:02:51.140 --> 02:02:53.140
make them over-commit to him, and then go back.

02:02:53.140 --> 02:02:56.640
But I feel like if he had just stayed a little bit more patient,

02:02:56.640 --> 02:02:59.040
Yike would have been able to arrive, then he could go in,

02:02:59.040 --> 02:03:01.640
and maybe they could have got multiple kills without him dying.

02:03:01.640 --> 02:03:05.140
Because at the end of the day, it is Yike benefiting from this play,

02:03:05.140 --> 02:03:07.040
but Kalis still ends up behind,

02:03:07.040 --> 02:03:09.740
and now this bot lane 2v2 is going to be that much more difficult.

02:03:09.740 --> 02:03:11.940
Because look at the buy for Kalis, it is just a tier.

02:03:11.940 --> 02:03:17.900
Pays went back and got double longsword, so much more combat power purchased up here for the T1 bot lane.

02:03:17.900 --> 02:03:22.740
Yeah, that is sum versus zero, if my mind is right.

02:03:22.740 --> 02:03:29.840
Yike, he was the big benefactor, and I actually think that a Keanu that gets accelerated is sort of the only one that has value.

02:03:29.840 --> 02:03:33.460
And so Yike is in a great position in this game.

02:03:33.460 --> 02:03:36.300
Oh, he's looking for Boppa. I think owner has a read on this.

02:03:36.300 --> 02:03:39.900
Yeah, he's gonna get stunned, but now Buccio is in trouble. Still doesn't have the flash, remember?

02:03:39.900 --> 02:03:43.740
piece once again, and that is another kill onto this Camille.

02:03:43.740 --> 02:03:47.300
Magical Journey is going to bring them over towards Yaikou tries to get into

02:03:47.300 --> 02:03:50.940
stealth to try and get out. Nice double stun, but guess what it means?

02:03:50.940 --> 02:03:55.380
Absolutely nothing. His peacemaker comes through yet again. Yaikou is still trying

02:03:55.380 --> 02:03:59.020
to skip around this jungle, just terror shaping and things like that, but

02:03:59.020 --> 02:04:04.220
Keria has the meep slap and down goes the Kiana. That's 1-0-3, 100% kill

02:04:04.220 --> 02:04:08.020
contribution for the Bard out of Keria. It's a moment like that where I want to

02:04:08.020 --> 02:04:11.860
your comp so I want to hear who from T1 was calling for owner to pull off there

02:04:11.860 --> 02:04:15.140
you know was it him that had to read the yike was coming you know who actually

02:04:15.140 --> 02:04:18.580
set up this play because you know here is that the previous player we're talking

02:04:18.580 --> 02:04:21.140
about so I want to watch your back and actually watch the list because to me you

02:04:21.140 --> 02:04:24.500
see these low health bars he is doing fine here wait for yike to go in first

02:04:24.500 --> 02:04:29.540
the arcane shift in early to me was the big mistake I don't think he needed to

02:04:29.540 --> 02:04:32.740
do that you could have just waited a couple more seconds and at the very

02:04:32.740 --> 02:04:35.460
least I think you kill two and you live and then he has his summoners for this

02:04:35.460 --> 02:04:38.700
where Buzio goes in, they're expecting them to be able to witness

02:04:38.700 --> 02:04:41.540
because Yike is coming behind, but then they spot Oner and they realize,

02:04:41.540 --> 02:04:44.340
oh, God, we can actually keep going forward.

02:04:44.340 --> 02:04:47.260
So Oner pulling off the Krugs there to move down to bot

02:04:47.260 --> 02:04:51.100
to either cover or to look for actually a fight himself

02:04:51.100 --> 02:04:54.620
was so critical. So whoever called that, whether it was Oner himself

02:04:54.620 --> 02:04:58.220
or Pays or Carrier, recognized that, hey, this is the moment that they'll be going,

02:04:58.220 --> 02:05:01.300
really made a big difference in that game, because that got them not one,

02:05:01.300 --> 02:05:04.620
but two kills, and Pays even more accelerated.

02:05:04.620 --> 02:05:08.060
Well, Kerry, just able to magically journey his way out of that situation.

02:05:08.060 --> 02:05:09.340
We'll be alright for now.

02:05:09.340 --> 02:05:13.780
Boussir is still level 3, as Kerry does tick over to that level 4 now.

02:05:13.780 --> 02:05:16.260
Baker was having a little bit of trouble in lane.

02:05:16.260 --> 02:05:20.380
I think that Yehu is doing a great job on the Casio, but as we can see here,

02:05:20.380 --> 02:05:22.620
it hasn't really equated too much of anything at all.

02:05:22.620 --> 02:05:27.220
They'll get the crash, and we have Yehu making his way back into lane now.

02:05:27.820 --> 02:05:29.780
Yeah, we talked a lot about carry on bar.

02:05:29.780 --> 02:05:31.420
This is why we're talking about carry on bar.

02:05:31.420 --> 02:05:42.420
12.6 KDA with over 40 competitive games played, and then the over 80% kill participation means you're probably not bad at the champion if I have to make an estimate.

02:05:42.420 --> 02:05:50.920
And Kerri has been playing for quite some time now as well, with 41 games on the barred as well, and wasn't always on the always winning team.

02:05:50.920 --> 02:05:56.920
But don't worry, because surely his teammate down the bot lane can't be as good at his champion.

02:05:56.920 --> 02:06:01.920
12-1? Yeah, and Paze hasn't been on T1 the whole time. He was just on Gen G before.

02:06:01.920 --> 02:06:05.920
That's alright. Kanna is now having to blow the ultimate.

02:06:05.920 --> 02:06:09.920
It's going to be able to keep him alive though, as there is the kill on the carrier in the bottom lane.

02:06:09.920 --> 02:06:15.920
Paze able to get the net to safety as he finds the headshot on the Clist as well, but it is a good dive onto the bar.

02:06:15.920 --> 02:06:20.920
In the meantime, there is still more happening here in this top lane, as Erna does make his way out of now.

02:06:20.920 --> 02:06:23.920
Kanna gonna take that as an invitation just to kill Doran if he can.

02:06:23.920 --> 02:06:27.700
Good body slam does come on to his pace is taken down and KC

02:06:28.300 --> 02:06:32.220
Finding some opportunities here on the map that is massive for KC

02:06:32.220 --> 02:06:39.300
Be able to take out both of the T1 bot laners and just like that Kalista's back to parody because even though Pays had those two kills

02:06:39.500 --> 02:06:43.380
He's been missing a lot of farm, you know that wave was crashed a tower there

02:06:43.380 --> 02:06:44.580
They're obviously fighting a lot

02:06:44.580 --> 02:06:49.660
So he's not always around to get all that CS and then on top side T1's play did not work out on the cona

02:06:49.660 --> 02:06:56.220
and Caria looking here. Yeah, Faker is still with the ultimate, doesn't have that available, but

02:06:56.220 --> 02:07:00.900
looking much behind it. Yeah, that's just some Swifties in a rock. Exactly, he bought Swifties,

02:07:00.900 --> 02:07:04.700
he bought some mana, so not going to be able to do much there. Is Doran trying to keep him off

02:07:04.700 --> 02:07:08.980
of this tower, but Kanna knows he has no explosive cast, so there's not really that risk of the

02:07:08.980 --> 02:07:12.420
wave just getting one shot. You picking up Turret aggro? Yeah, Boussier making his way in,

02:07:12.420 --> 02:07:16.100
the hookshot is going to get the stun, it's Doran gets a bit of his health bar back, but Boussier

02:07:16.100 --> 02:07:21.920
Get the other with stand that one shot the flash on in its own a finds the cure for the kill flash away from busier

02:07:21.920 --> 02:07:24.220
No worry a trickster available for owner to get over that wall

02:07:24.220 --> 02:07:26.560
And so it is just the one for one this is great though

02:07:26.560 --> 02:07:28.420
You know busio got three kills now

02:07:28.420 --> 02:07:31.540
He's accelerated a bit when you can get to that first item on the Camille

02:07:31.540 --> 02:07:38.140
It is really really relevant because you are just fighting non stop here looking to you know force the issue and

02:07:38.380 --> 02:07:41.500
Conna this time is in a way better position

02:07:41.500 --> 02:07:47.500
Yike is in a way better position, which I think is so important after a game like last game where you're getting flame horizon rear in this

02:07:47.500 --> 02:07:51.340
You know unplayable position that he was in now

02:07:51.340 --> 02:07:54.780
He has agency return to him in a game like this and he's been so critical

02:07:55.220 --> 02:07:58.100
For Casey and their success throughout this split

02:07:58.100 --> 02:08:02.660
So it's gonna be exciting to see what Casey can do now with a gold lead here a

02:08:03.140 --> 02:08:06.140
Big series of plays with them really gets them back into a great spot

02:08:06.420 --> 02:08:07.860
Well, they're on the dragon now

02:08:07.860 --> 02:08:12.700
Now it is spotted on a ward, but KC will be able to clear that one out as owner moving on over towards his raptor camp.

02:08:12.700 --> 02:08:15.160
And I don't think they're looking to contest this one.

02:08:15.720 --> 02:08:20.420
First rake should be going over to KC after that play. Boussio looking for an angle towards Faker.

02:08:21.420 --> 02:08:28.620
As he is getting into a very aggressive position, Scatter the Week comes down just to make sure that that spear does connect.

02:08:29.820 --> 02:08:32.620
And he just moves himself out of the way. So that is the first rake going on over.

02:08:32.620 --> 02:08:36.320
Canna now just blowing the ultimate, but the magical journey comes through Kosk

02:08:36.320 --> 02:08:43.100
He's going to pull the crocodile away from the turret and that should be the kill only picks up that one as well moving to three and one

02:08:43.420 --> 02:08:48.520
And T1 finding the cross map and I try there from Kanna almost took owner down one more tower shot

02:08:48.520 --> 02:08:54.220
Probably would have done it but didn't quite have the ability to do it faker and maybe a little trouble as they have TV

02:08:54.220 --> 02:08:59.560
Didn't you like so big or as well? Yeah, that is a lot of true trucker damage to take try and take down the

02:08:59.560 --> 02:09:03.720
the Wukong and Spaker able to get away from the supreme display of talent but

02:09:03.720 --> 02:09:07.840
that will not save his turret or at least maybe it will. Second plate not

02:09:07.840 --> 02:09:13.000
gonna be claimed and Faker will just be going back now. Yep and T1 make a play on

02:09:13.000 --> 02:09:17.120
topside, KC make a play of their own, three men go in towards Faker, they

02:09:17.120 --> 02:09:22.200
force out his flash but meanwhile T1 was taking this, they get all three grubs

02:09:22.200 --> 02:09:25.680
back-to-back game so we're gonna be feeling pretty good about that especially

02:09:25.680 --> 02:09:28.200
when you are playing with the Caitlyn, you want to be seizing these towers, you

02:09:28.200 --> 02:09:29.680
I want to be putting that pressure on.

02:09:29.680 --> 02:09:31.920
But of course, it really hasn't been that kind of standard game

02:09:31.920 --> 02:09:34.000
where a Pays and Carry are nonstop pushing,

02:09:34.000 --> 02:09:35.400
because it's been more about the scrapping,

02:09:35.400 --> 02:09:37.920
more about the fighting, not so much that standard,

02:09:37.920 --> 02:09:39.280
push them in, wheel down the tower,

02:09:39.280 --> 02:09:40.440
play style that you see from here.

02:09:40.440 --> 02:09:42.440
Yeah, and I think that KC,

02:09:42.440 --> 02:09:44.120
I mean, they have a 1.5K Goldly.

02:09:44.120 --> 02:09:46.840
This is a great game for them so far.

02:09:46.840 --> 02:09:49.680
And T1, now we get to kind of talk about

02:09:49.680 --> 02:09:52.080
what T1 has looked like this year, right?

02:09:52.080 --> 02:09:54.640
Because this is actually kind of part of the course.

02:09:54.640 --> 02:09:57.120
They've done a lot of, we're gonna fall behind,

02:09:57.120 --> 02:10:00.560
But then we're just way more coordinated and way better at you when it

02:10:01.560 --> 02:10:03.960
when the late game arrives, right?

02:10:03.960 --> 02:10:09.120
Like they can always just find a team fight and then the game is all of a sudden over.

02:10:09.120 --> 02:10:11.400
And you think that you're in a comfortable position.

02:10:11.640 --> 02:10:15.440
You think that you've got the game in the bag, but T1 disagree.

02:10:15.760 --> 02:10:19.120
And it's it's been really frustrating if you're not a T1 fan

02:10:19.360 --> 02:10:22.920
and you're watching your team just cruising, having a good time.

02:10:23.280 --> 02:10:25.680
And then it doesn't quite work as Faker has found Jaikov.

02:10:25.680 --> 02:10:29.000
has Yankees found Faker, Sturgeon Barrage going to come on through,

02:10:29.000 --> 02:10:32.000
Boussio going to take that kill with the Hextech sweep,

02:10:32.000 --> 02:10:34.920
and that is the first death here for Faker in this game.

02:10:34.920 --> 02:10:36.680
I mean, you look no further than yesterday.

02:10:36.680 --> 02:10:41.360
They were down 59-26 gold in game two,

02:10:41.360 --> 02:10:43.920
versus TL obviously able to come back,

02:10:43.920 --> 02:10:46.680
even with a compositional disadvantage and still win that game.

02:10:46.680 --> 02:10:49.760
They were down 1200 gold as well in game three,

02:10:49.760 --> 02:10:52.840
able to, it's not much smaller lead, but still,

02:10:52.840 --> 02:10:58.680
From deficits, they are never out of it. Their team fighting is so good and they have such strong playmakers on

02:10:59.000 --> 02:11:03.640
This team that are very difficult to deal with us. Kariah. I think you might just be there

02:11:03.640 --> 02:11:06.000
Yeah, I'm spring display talent does come on down here

02:11:06.000 --> 02:11:09.840
It's the flash from Kariah looking for the cosmic binding onto counter and yike

02:11:09.840 --> 02:11:14.120
But it does not work sad barb noises as he is gonna get taken out

02:11:14.280 --> 02:11:18.900
Teleport will bring Doran towards that top lane as he's looking for Calist alongside owner

02:11:18.900 --> 02:11:20.980
But they're not quite able to find it in time

02:11:20.980 --> 02:11:27.860
time. At the very least, no, picking up a shift does not actually quite get there.

02:11:27.860 --> 02:11:31.660
He did get the flash off Kanna, so he looked for that flash. It looks a little bit strange,

02:11:31.660 --> 02:11:36.900
but he's looking for a flash to redirect his Q to bind Kanna and Yike together. So Kanna

02:11:36.900 --> 02:11:40.780
then flashed the binding to make sure they didn't get stunned. So yes, he does go down,

02:11:40.780 --> 02:11:45.020
but it is a trade of flashes at the very least. And the renegotent flash is actually quite

02:11:45.020 --> 02:11:49.140
valuable. So, you know, being able to play in that team by a lot harder to access backline

02:11:49.140 --> 02:11:53.940
without that. But KC rolling right now, 2.2k is their lead.

02:11:53.940 --> 02:12:01.540
Alas, quite a few plays have gone their way after an early start that made you think it might be heading in a similar direction to game one.

02:12:01.540 --> 02:12:04.940
Well, can I remember freshly without that flash, like you were just talking about,

02:12:04.940 --> 02:12:07.740
Oner going to come on over and look to see whether he can capitalize,

02:12:07.740 --> 02:12:13.540
but with the wave being thinned out, should mean that Oner can get himself out of there and everything should be alright.

02:12:13.540 --> 02:12:15.980
Yike just securing this blue buff.

02:12:15.980 --> 02:12:20.180
I don't think Oner is going to opt in for any sort of smite battle there.

02:12:20.180 --> 02:12:25.420
And this time, Yike is returning the favor with quite a few camps in advantage

02:12:25.420 --> 02:12:27.500
thanks to his 2-0 start on the Kiana.

02:12:27.500 --> 02:12:31.020
Actually, just looking really, really good on this champion.

02:12:31.020 --> 02:12:35.940
And as an LCK representative, we're very used to Kiana just not doing a whole lot

02:12:35.940 --> 02:12:37.420
and losing the game.

02:12:37.420 --> 02:12:39.980
That's what she does in my region.

02:12:39.980 --> 02:12:43.580
and we are learning that that is not necessarily how it's supposed to go.

02:12:43.580 --> 02:12:46.780
Man, Yehuu has been side-sipping everything.

02:12:46.780 --> 02:12:49.580
We just saw him dodge like six or seven skill shots in a row.

02:12:49.580 --> 02:12:51.080
There from Faker, really well played.

02:12:51.080 --> 02:12:54.780
His owner is able to steal away the rafters, and may find Yike here,

02:12:54.780 --> 02:12:57.380
but Kanna is moving, so has to be a bit careful.

02:12:57.380 --> 02:12:58.980
Kanna gonna come in and support.

02:12:58.980 --> 02:13:00.980
You can see Faker was cheating up towards that side of the map.

02:13:00.980 --> 02:13:03.180
T1 wanting to overload the top side of the map,

02:13:03.180 --> 02:13:05.480
but meanwhile Buseo was hunting around mid lane,

02:13:05.480 --> 02:13:07.180
and Kalista is pushing down bot lane.

02:13:07.180 --> 02:13:09.080
We'll see who gets first tower.

02:13:09.080 --> 02:13:12.840
It is going to be pretty close, and the first power is going to go to KC.

02:13:12.840 --> 02:13:14.240
Yeah, that's solo gold for us.

02:13:14.240 --> 02:13:15.680
And just like that, Klist is 1.1K up.

02:13:15.680 --> 02:13:18.400
Exactly. So it gets all of the gold from those plates,

02:13:18.400 --> 02:13:21.080
and gets to hang around for that first brick as well.

02:13:21.080 --> 02:13:25.240
So that is a very powerful Ezreal moving towards two items very quickly.

02:13:25.240 --> 02:13:26.920
This is something that we illustrated yesterday.

02:13:26.920 --> 02:13:30.680
Part of what gives you the advantage as the Ezreal in this matchup

02:13:30.680 --> 02:13:33.800
is that when the Caitlyn's weak, you are really, really strong.

02:13:33.800 --> 02:13:36.760
And we can see that that is precisely what's going to happen here

02:13:36.760 --> 02:13:43.760
difficult as getting very close to that Muramana needs a few extra stacks on the tier, but they should be coming in very, very quickly.

02:13:43.760 --> 02:13:50.760
And when you get your Manamune before the transformation of the tier comes in, that's when you know you're ahead of the clock.

02:13:50.760 --> 02:13:57.760
You're feeling really good about it, as oftentimes you do just get that instant transformation if you're just playing out the game in a normal sense.

02:13:57.760 --> 02:14:03.760
So really nice pacing so far for KC as they are going to be able to take double dragon as well, and it's a mountain soloist game.

02:14:03.760 --> 02:14:09.060
Mountain is actually really strong, honestly, for both sides, because there is a lot of burst in this, a lot of upfront damage,

02:14:09.060 --> 02:14:16.560
but we want to know who do you think has the better fandom, because these are two of the teams with some of the largest fandoms in the entire world.

02:14:17.060 --> 02:14:25.460
All pays, trying to get put into the Hextech ultimatum, nowhere to go, and will be taken out, Buzio able to take that last turret shot as well.

02:14:25.460 --> 02:14:32.560
And when you can guarantee that type of kill, then that's when you know that the Camille support is working out.

02:14:32.560 --> 02:14:37.560
But speaking of support, yes, we want to make sure that we get the Blue Wall versus T1 Phantom.

02:14:37.560 --> 02:14:43.260
And honestly, T1 fans, I'm pretty disappointed from your prediction, like earlier on today.

02:14:43.260 --> 02:14:44.260
They lost the prediction.

02:14:44.260 --> 02:14:46.860
They lost the prediction battle. We don't see that from T1.

02:14:46.860 --> 02:14:51.260
So spam T1 or KC in-chat. Let us know who you think has a better fandom.

02:14:51.260 --> 02:14:54.360
But Buzio is super strong. Just goes straight in here.

02:14:54.360 --> 02:14:58.260
Keria tries to come through and prevent as much damage as he possibly can.

02:14:58.260 --> 02:15:02.980
He throws the Bartle, not onto Buccio but onto Klis because he wanted the tower to stay onto Buccio there.

02:15:02.980 --> 02:15:04.140
But there to look for Jaik.

02:15:04.140 --> 02:15:06.420
Yeah, Jaik does throw down the ulti though defensively.

02:15:06.420 --> 02:15:11.020
Ono should have another side point in order to take him down and actually gets over the wall.

02:15:11.020 --> 02:15:15.340
But Kanna and Yehu turn up as well and that is going to be the answering kill onto the jungler.

02:15:15.340 --> 02:15:19.180
Now Baker dealing with Buccio here and does have to get himself out of the way.

02:15:19.180 --> 02:15:22.340
Keria taking a little while to die but he will indeed do that.

02:15:22.340 --> 02:15:28.180
You've got Paze going for a cross-map towards the bottom side but he wanted just falling further and further behind.

02:15:28.180 --> 02:15:30.380
Yeah, I mean, this is a crazy game for Buccio.

02:15:30.380 --> 02:15:32.060
Yeah, it was five kills.

02:15:32.060 --> 02:15:34.860
He almost was solo killing Faker there on the side.

02:15:34.860 --> 02:15:36.540
He is ridiculously strong.

02:15:36.540 --> 02:15:38.180
Has had this thundered sky for some time.

02:15:38.180 --> 02:15:38.680
Right.

02:15:38.680 --> 02:15:39.580
Has had a complete score.

02:15:39.580 --> 02:15:40.180
OK.

02:15:40.180 --> 02:15:43.020
Equilibrium has been restored.

02:15:43.020 --> 02:15:45.060
That is a really nice arcane shift from Calistus

02:15:45.060 --> 02:15:47.460
to make until the OK one power right there, for sure.

02:15:47.460 --> 02:15:48.020
Yeah.

02:15:48.020 --> 02:15:50.940
I think they may have taken the initial vote, personally.

02:15:50.940 --> 02:15:53.420
There you go.

02:15:53.420 --> 02:15:53.820
All right.

02:15:53.820 --> 02:15:55.980
Cannon now is just clearing out the wave.

02:15:55.980 --> 02:15:59.900
And that is Paze not able to quite find the value that he's looking for.

02:15:59.900 --> 02:16:01.140
This is the problem though, right?

02:16:01.140 --> 02:16:03.340
Casey cannot rest on any laurels.

02:16:03.340 --> 02:16:05.580
Laurels are illegal in a matchup against T1.

02:16:05.580 --> 02:16:06.780
They win from the laurels.

02:16:06.780 --> 02:16:10.020
And we've seen so much of these type games, right?

02:16:10.020 --> 02:16:13.700
Where Paze is on the, the, the Caitlyn falls into the trough

02:16:13.700 --> 02:16:16.260
and T1 are looking like they're falling apart.

02:16:16.260 --> 02:16:19.740
And then he gets his third item and the game's over.

02:16:19.740 --> 02:16:22.020
And this is why you cannot rest on your laurels,

02:16:22.020 --> 02:16:24.900
because T1, I mean, everyone has a bad record against T1.

02:16:24.900 --> 02:16:28.500
Let's be honest, it's T1, but this is T1 all-time versus the LEC.

02:16:28.500 --> 02:16:33.300
Now, they are 22 and 12 versus G2, so G2 has been the most competitive there,

02:16:33.300 --> 02:16:36.100
but still obviously very heavily favored for T1.

02:16:36.100 --> 02:16:42.420
Everyone else is that 24 and 7 record versus the rest of the LEC here.

02:16:42.420 --> 02:16:47.060
And KC looking to put another one in the win column for their region,

02:16:47.060 --> 02:16:52.180
but it is very difficult to get across the finish line here against the team like T1.

02:16:52.180 --> 02:16:55.300
But it is KC with the gold lead, with the objective lead,

02:16:55.300 --> 02:16:59.140
have the ability here in two minutes to try to grab that third dragon, move towards

02:16:59.860 --> 02:17:02.420
that mountain soul that would be so nice for them.

02:17:03.140 --> 02:17:04.420
And the archer will take a tower.

02:17:04.420 --> 02:17:07.140
Yeah, nice charge to come on through here as the tower will be going down.

02:17:07.140 --> 02:17:09.300
Shelly should be ushered towards the Inetard as well.

02:17:09.300 --> 02:17:15.060
We'll see whether she does get another charge as we have Ona being discovered by Buccio in the

02:17:15.060 --> 02:17:17.060
jungle, takes a magical journey to get himself out of the way.

02:17:17.060 --> 02:17:20.500
But here is the charge and there is the denial as the temperate

02:17:20.500 --> 02:17:24.080
Fate does come on through to make sure that this turret stays spick and span.

02:17:24.080 --> 02:17:26.320
Yeah, nicely done there by Kariah.

02:17:26.320 --> 02:17:28.660
Right place, right time with the bar.

02:17:28.660 --> 02:17:32.760
Oh, Flash might as well come down from Yehu, who's looking to chase Faker down.

02:17:32.760 --> 02:17:36.160
He is going to Flash, and Yehu is just going to have to let him go off.

02:17:36.160 --> 02:17:41.120
That one had used Flash previously, but Flash on Syndra means that, yeah, he's just sitting

02:17:41.120 --> 02:17:42.120
down.

02:17:42.120 --> 02:17:45.180
TrueTrap barrage will be avoided by Faker going the same direction that he was going

02:17:45.180 --> 02:17:46.180
already.

02:17:46.180 --> 02:17:47.180
They're trying to set a trap.

02:17:47.180 --> 02:17:48.180
Owner is actually here.

02:17:48.180 --> 02:17:49.180
They're going to look for Yehu.

02:17:49.180 --> 02:17:51.800
You get out and there is the Unleashed Power.

02:17:51.800 --> 02:17:53.940
Outplay that, he says.

02:17:53.940 --> 02:17:57.080
Yeah, that is really well done there by T1.

02:17:57.080 --> 02:17:58.480
Yeah, he goes really aggressive.

02:17:58.480 --> 02:18:01.020
Obviously would have won the 1v1, but Faker gets away.

02:18:01.020 --> 02:18:02.740
And then he realizes, owner is here behind me.

02:18:02.740 --> 02:18:04.140
We have a pink war that's already in the brush.

02:18:04.140 --> 02:18:05.540
We know there's no vision.

02:18:05.540 --> 02:18:06.580
So they lay a trap.

02:18:06.580 --> 02:18:11.100
They set it up, beautifully done by T1, punishing Yeh, who

02:18:11.100 --> 02:18:12.300
just goes a little bit too far.

02:18:12.300 --> 02:18:13.940
Assumed that Faker would have gone back to base.

02:18:13.940 --> 02:18:15.420
He knew he had Buccio behind him.

02:18:15.420 --> 02:18:18.140
So he felt confident because of it

02:18:18.140 --> 02:18:20.540
and does get punished big time.

02:18:20.540 --> 02:18:23.580
So we'll see if T1 can take something more from this,

02:18:23.580 --> 02:18:25.340
because now both of those midlaners

02:18:25.340 --> 02:18:28.060
are pretty vulnerable for the next couple of minutes here.

02:18:28.060 --> 02:18:30.220
But as you mentioned, Syndra without Flash

02:18:30.220 --> 02:18:32.220
really is that much more scared, especially

02:18:32.220 --> 02:18:34.300
against the composition that KC had.

02:18:34.300 --> 02:18:35.820
Yeah, Barrier going to be used just

02:18:35.820 --> 02:18:37.740
to block the ace in the hole, but there's

02:18:37.740 --> 02:18:39.260
a nice amount of damage to come on through here,

02:18:39.260 --> 02:18:41.820
as I believe Faker over the wall finding a few angles

02:18:41.820 --> 02:18:43.420
towards the Ezreal.

02:18:43.420 --> 02:18:45.660
And that's actually really big, because look at the time

02:18:45.660 --> 02:18:47.100
until Dragon spawns.

02:18:47.100 --> 02:18:50.100
Kalista is going to be able to grab the red buff. He also used his barrier there.

02:18:50.100 --> 02:18:53.600
They're TPing in deep. Kana is looking for a fast start to this fight.

02:18:53.600 --> 02:18:56.900
In goes Buseyok. He's going to lock down Bacon. He's going to die for it.

02:18:56.900 --> 02:19:01.300
But look at that stun from Yike. Absolutely massive and Kana gets into that backline.

02:19:01.300 --> 02:19:05.100
Paze. He's going to have to try and net himself out of there, but netting a Crocodile,

02:19:05.100 --> 02:19:09.300
that is a difficult option as he flashes to catch the Blastcone.

02:19:09.300 --> 02:19:13.900
And now Paze. I don't know how you're supposed to get out of this one with a full health croc,

02:19:13.900 --> 02:19:17.040
but he's gonna try his very best to do as much damage

02:19:17.040 --> 02:19:18.160
before he goes down.

02:19:18.160 --> 02:19:21.520
Canna taking that turret shot and he will fall,

02:19:21.520 --> 02:19:24.240
but it is two kills going over to Yehud as Cassiopeia

02:19:24.240 --> 02:19:25.680
is massive.

02:19:25.680 --> 02:19:27.720
I just love how quickly they forced that.

02:19:27.720 --> 02:19:30.080
They never allowed T1 to actually set up.

02:19:30.080 --> 02:19:33.600
Conn just TP'd in immediately and they full sent it

02:19:33.600 --> 02:19:35.880
before the dragon even spawned here.

02:19:35.880 --> 02:19:37.600
They get straight in there.

02:19:37.600 --> 02:19:39.240
There's no way owners are gonna be able to steal this,

02:19:39.240 --> 02:19:40.480
not with Buseo hunting for you.

02:19:40.480 --> 02:19:42.600
I don't think you can get there in time.

02:19:42.600 --> 02:19:47.440
So that is sole point for KC. You could see the blue wall popping off here.

02:19:47.440 --> 02:19:48.440
Oh yeah.

02:19:48.440 --> 02:19:53.980
Really, really excited about how the second game is going after the first game was absolutely

02:19:53.980 --> 02:19:58.080
one all the time. You could see the all in pinks immediately on that ward as they were

02:19:58.080 --> 02:20:03.600
teeping in and Kana just gets him behind them and look at this confident engage from Buzio.

02:20:03.600 --> 02:20:07.160
Buzio knows he's going to die there, but it doesn't matter. He's setting up for the

02:20:07.160 --> 02:20:12.480
rest of the team. Buzio with the engage and then the follow up here from Yike. Kana is

02:20:12.480 --> 02:20:14.200
He's in the middle of your whole team.

02:20:14.200 --> 02:20:16.280
Buzio was just on one this game.

02:20:16.280 --> 02:20:20.200
This man is on a mission here, on the Camille.

02:20:20.200 --> 02:20:23.560
Him and Yike, both yesterday and today.

02:20:23.560 --> 02:20:25.240
And after that performance in game number one,

02:20:25.240 --> 02:20:26.240
I think we were thinking like,

02:20:26.240 --> 02:20:27.680
is Yike gonna wake up the series?

02:20:27.680 --> 02:20:30.160
Well, he's definitely woken up.

02:20:30.160 --> 02:20:31.720
Looking absolutely fantastic.

02:20:31.720 --> 02:20:33.600
Supreme Display of Talent, one of those abilities

02:20:33.600 --> 02:20:36.800
that can sound a little bit silly when you read it out.

02:20:36.800 --> 02:20:39.040
Definitely didn't sound silly in that last fight.

02:20:39.040 --> 02:20:41.760
Looking absolutely beautiful on this Kiana.

02:20:41.760 --> 02:20:43.200
That's some damage right there.

02:20:43.200 --> 02:20:44.280
Yeah.

02:20:44.280 --> 02:20:45.040
Yeah.

02:20:45.040 --> 02:20:46.200
Doing the numbers.

02:20:46.200 --> 02:20:48.280
Pretty crazy that Kana just gets

02:20:48.280 --> 02:20:50.080
in the middle of the entire team.

02:20:50.080 --> 02:20:51.600
That was just beautiful from KC,

02:20:51.600 --> 02:20:53.320
and T1 not giving a chance there.

02:20:53.320 --> 02:20:58.040
And now T1 have their backs against the wall in this game.

02:20:58.040 --> 02:21:00.680
You do not want to be giving over that Mountain Soul.

02:21:00.680 --> 02:21:02.600
It is going to make it so much more difficult, especially

02:21:02.600 --> 02:21:04.200
when they're already down on gold.

02:21:04.200 --> 02:21:05.880
You look at the items here from Picker.

02:21:05.880 --> 02:21:06.760
It is not that scary.

02:21:06.760 --> 02:21:08.080
You look at the items from Kaze.

02:21:08.080 --> 02:21:09.480
Not that scary at this point.

02:21:09.480 --> 02:21:11.080
Well, Yike is going to have to flash.

02:21:11.080 --> 02:21:14.800
get out of the way of the temperate, and that is going to be at least something

02:21:14.800 --> 02:21:20.000
here for T1. I don't think T1 are gonna be too phased or flustered about how

02:21:20.000 --> 02:21:24.040
this game state is looking. They're still trying to get to that three items on to

02:21:24.040 --> 02:21:28.040
Paze. That's when they know they're gonna have a much better experience as

02:21:28.040 --> 02:21:30.760
Faker. Maybe a little bit overextended, but does have the dash cannon to get

02:21:30.760 --> 02:21:34.160
himself out of the way. Or the proto belt, if you want to say it correctly.

02:21:34.160 --> 02:21:39.720
And can I get the barrier off, please? Yeah, gets a button. That's gonna feel good.

02:21:39.720 --> 02:21:45.980
So they've got a flash and a barrier and they've got three minutes until this mountain soul is available

02:21:45.980 --> 02:21:50.520
I just I really do think that mountain soul is gonna be so difficult for T1 to play into

02:21:51.840 --> 02:21:56.760
It's kind of the perfect soul that Casey were looking for in this game as now

02:21:56.760 --> 02:21:59.520
Yeah, who speaking of looking things he's gonna find faker scatter the week

02:21:59.520 --> 02:22:04.020
It's not gonna work because he's not very weak and there is the last twin fang to take him down

02:22:04.020 --> 02:22:09.780
The Unleashed power is pitiful at best and this snake lady is very very strong

02:22:09.780 --> 02:22:15.820
Yeah, that is a solo kill there for yahoo the Roa takes over he now as it goes up to level 15

02:22:16.140 --> 02:22:19.180
And this has been a problem for faker in the LCK

02:22:19.180 --> 02:22:24.020
He is beginning a lot of solo kills, but he is second in the entire league in solo in isolated depths

02:22:24.060 --> 02:22:28.820
Yeah, and you can see here on the coin base gold grind of very significant damage

02:22:28.820 --> 02:22:37.260
rather gold gap being opened up here by Yehu who is now up 1k. Everyone on KC is

02:22:37.260 --> 02:22:41.620
ahead but it is Yehu and Buseo with the biggest gold leads. And I think we're

02:22:41.620 --> 02:22:45.660
going to be looking at Doran in teamfights and Paze to get another

02:22:45.660 --> 02:22:50.060
item together in order to save this one for T1 if they are going to make it

02:22:50.060 --> 02:22:53.340
work. But KC have just been so good at pulling the trigger. That's temperate.

02:22:53.340 --> 02:22:58.220
Looking to lock down Buseo here as Doran making his way in. He is unseen as he

02:22:58.220 --> 02:23:00.580
looks for the angle, but it's like it doesn't work there as the cost.

02:23:00.580 --> 02:23:03.120
Supreme just playing talent under only the tank,

02:23:03.120 --> 02:23:05.740
and they take out Kalis before anything had even happened!

02:23:05.740 --> 02:23:08.300
And it's just free-hitting for Paze!

02:23:08.300 --> 02:23:11.820
Kanna with a massive ultimate, but it doesn't do anything!

02:23:11.820 --> 02:23:13.700
And there it is, ladies and gentlemen!

02:23:13.700 --> 02:23:18.340
T1 just win a teamfight, take a Baron, and they're back in control!

02:23:18.340 --> 02:23:20.820
How annoying is it, Isael?

02:23:20.820 --> 02:23:25.340
How do they keep doing it every damn time?

02:23:25.340 --> 02:23:29.100
T1, find a way to make the magic happen.

02:23:29.100 --> 02:23:30.740
Losing all game long.

02:23:30.740 --> 02:23:32.820
We're talking about the soul,

02:23:32.820 --> 02:23:36.580
but they find the fight beside the Baron.

02:23:36.580 --> 02:23:38.540
23 minute Baron here.

02:23:38.540 --> 02:23:41.180
It's all started up by Keria.

02:23:41.180 --> 02:23:43.780
Lansy also on the Buseo, Dorian TP's in,

02:23:43.780 --> 02:23:45.420
and owner flashes in.

02:23:45.420 --> 02:23:48.220
The cask is there, knocking back Kalise,

02:23:48.220 --> 02:23:51.020
whose flash came out a split second too late

02:23:51.020 --> 02:23:52.340
to avoid that cask.

02:23:52.340 --> 02:23:54.460
And then Faker and Paz are untouched.

02:23:54.460 --> 02:24:01.260
Yeah, who arrives with the TP, but his whole team is already dead and the Baron is theirs for the taking.

02:24:01.660 --> 02:24:05.260
Oh my goodness. It's so reminiscent of the series against TL yesterday.

02:24:05.660 --> 02:24:09.260
You know, T1, just grab these Barons, it feels like out of nowhere.

02:24:09.260 --> 02:24:12.260
And now it is only an 800 Gold lead here.

02:24:12.260 --> 02:24:14.260
It is sole point available.

02:24:14.260 --> 02:24:15.660
You talked about the third item.

02:24:15.860 --> 02:24:17.360
Paze has the rapid fire.

02:24:17.460 --> 02:24:20.660
Owner is on three, and it says reclaim that Gold lead.

02:24:20.660 --> 02:24:27.000
And now KC are really gonna have to be on point if they want to win these next fights because they've lost the gold lead

02:24:27.000 --> 02:24:32.440
It is so hard to play a 5v5 with Camille and Keanna. You got to be perfect

02:24:32.440 --> 02:24:36.560
Well, they're gonna look for it here as Bruce Gere gets over the wall with a hook shot the dash canons trying to get him out of there

02:24:36.560 --> 02:24:41.140
But that head step on the man not really working his can against him the back line looking for fake at the only spot

02:24:41.140 --> 02:24:43.140
Oh, and he's taking so much damage base

02:24:43.140 --> 02:24:48.560
and Touch finds the Honor Attack as he gets over the wall and it's a double here.

02:24:48.560 --> 02:24:55.660
Honor with an Invis-Trike looking for Calista, and that ace and hole doesn't work because his target has already been taken down.

02:24:55.660 --> 02:25:01.240
And I just feel like T1 have made it out of the trough and now they're just skipping to the finish line.

02:25:01.240 --> 02:25:05.400
As fake eating some honey fruit pays, looking a little bit worse for wear.

02:25:05.400 --> 02:25:07.040
But yeah, who cannot step up?

02:25:07.040 --> 02:25:11.760
Jaik, similar story as T1, look to deny the soul

02:25:11.760 --> 02:25:14.280
and get themselves back into this driving seat.

02:25:14.280 --> 02:25:16.680
3,000 gold on the Rebel Baron power plate.

02:25:16.680 --> 02:25:19.280
And Jaik, ace in the hole, finally comes up again.

02:25:19.280 --> 02:25:21.400
And Busiu, he's going to get on forward.

02:25:21.400 --> 02:25:23.200
And he's going to be a gromp to go over to Jaik,

02:25:23.200 --> 02:25:24.360
but I just don't think they're going

02:25:24.360 --> 02:25:25.520
to be able to do enough here.

02:25:25.520 --> 02:25:26.840
There's the dragon secured.

02:25:26.840 --> 02:25:29.760
And T1 going to spend all of that hard earned gold.

02:25:29.760 --> 02:25:31.480
Yeah, T1 win another fight.

02:25:31.480 --> 02:25:34.160
Busiu, again, he knows it's going to be hard to take the fight.

02:25:34.160 --> 02:25:39.000
So he just full sends it in silly and kind of did get in on top of both faker and pays

02:25:39.000 --> 02:25:41.240
And I thought there was an angle for them to win the fight here

02:25:41.240 --> 02:25:42.440
So watch it one more time

02:25:42.440 --> 02:25:47.720
It looks like hey did busio go too early, but then you see everyone coming over he is flashed in

02:25:48.000 --> 02:25:51.080
Cona's moving down. Yeah, who's moving down throws down the x-tec all the way

02:25:51.080 --> 02:25:57.000
And look at cona who goes in over the wall this multi man stun from that beautiful all the came out of yike

02:25:57.200 --> 02:26:03.000
Cona's on top of the carries just doesn't quite have the damage to finish off pays and then you know what it was

02:26:03.000 --> 02:26:08.160
It was the locket from carrier gets on in there. That's the big old shield to come on over

02:26:08.160 --> 02:26:12.520
Here's TP and now another flank angle spring display of town. They're looking for faker

02:26:12.520 --> 02:26:17.360
They should be out of lock him down takes a little bit longer to get him is now owners in no man's land

02:26:17.360 --> 02:26:20.160
Oh my god takes down the Ike

02:26:20.480 --> 02:26:24.800
It was suicide, but he manages to take his opposite number with him and now Doran

02:26:24.800 --> 02:26:30.240
He just wants to teleport out and he will be able to do so a little bit of a catastrophe here

02:26:30.240 --> 02:26:36.360
But KC finding themselves an advantage in the fight once again. Yeah, honestly good job by KC, you know from that position

02:26:37.000 --> 02:26:40.040
It's T1 with the bear and it's T1 who have been winning the fights

02:26:40.040 --> 02:26:47.160
But they are just continuing to force the issue here this time they pick off faker who you know was missing that flash

02:26:47.160 --> 02:26:53.480
They're able to find him they're able to take him down T1 wanted to set up a split map type situation where they're pushing in multiple lanes

02:26:53.480 --> 02:26:57.220
With the bear and buff they're trying to get that into their favor

02:26:57.220 --> 02:27:05.380
But KC just forced the issue find a fight find these split up members and are able to take down both the mid and jungle of t1 and

02:27:05.700 --> 02:27:12.100
Really stifle the Baron you know the Baron went kind of nowhere. Yeah, whatsoever there doesn't really work

02:27:12.460 --> 02:27:14.460
And we saw the win probability

02:27:14.740 --> 02:27:17.220
It was feeling a bit sure and then

02:27:17.740 --> 02:27:23.220
Starts to become completely confused about how this one is going to go and I'm kind of there with them

02:27:23.220 --> 02:27:25.720
There is still Soulpoint for KC.

02:27:25.720 --> 02:27:28.020
That is a lot of power on the table.

02:27:28.020 --> 02:27:29.820
They can force T1 into that position,

02:27:29.820 --> 02:27:32.320
go for trades between the dragon and Baron.

02:27:32.320 --> 02:27:35.020
They're separated by only 40 seconds.

02:27:35.020 --> 02:27:36.720
And so things can get a little bit murky

02:27:36.720 --> 02:27:39.920
as far as those setups around these objectives

02:27:39.920 --> 02:27:41.720
in the next couple of minutes.

02:27:41.720 --> 02:27:44.520
Yehu is so strong right now though for KC.

02:27:44.520 --> 02:27:45.820
He's on three items.

02:27:45.820 --> 02:27:46.820
He is very tanky.

02:27:46.820 --> 02:27:49.520
All these items he's building have HP.

02:27:49.520 --> 02:27:50.920
Has the flash available.

02:27:50.920 --> 02:27:55.440
and you're looking for that big fight from Yehu because in most of the actual big team fights

02:27:55.440 --> 02:27:57.360
he hasn't really been able to get super involved.

02:27:57.360 --> 02:27:58.560
Buseo being 10!

02:27:58.560 --> 02:27:59.920
I believe Paze is dead.

02:27:59.920 --> 02:28:04.200
He's gonna go golden for a few moments thanks to Keria, but then will be shut down.

02:28:04.200 --> 02:28:07.640
That is money over to Kalista as well. They get to just set that one up.

02:28:07.640 --> 02:28:12.360
Now, everything all evened out as far as the kill score is concerned.

02:28:12.360 --> 02:28:16.920
And the gold as well. It is 56k versus 56k.

02:28:16.920 --> 02:28:23.220
Buseau finding another pick there, just constantly looking for these engages, setting up his team, Kalista.

02:28:23.220 --> 02:28:27.280
Gets the shutdown, which is critical because he was starting to fall behind a little bit.

02:28:27.280 --> 02:28:33.800
He's had the Anglesonger, he's now working in towards his armor penetration, and you see Paze just picked up a GA.

02:28:33.800 --> 02:28:39.960
So, decides to go defensive with the fourth item here, makes a lot of sense when you're playing against Kiana as well as Camille.

02:28:39.960 --> 02:28:44.680
Yeah, not a lot of true tanks on this team as well, so the Lord Dom's can come a little bit later.

02:28:44.680 --> 02:28:47.920
The unfortunate thing, though, is there's nothing for Casey to take after it.

02:28:48.520 --> 02:28:49.020
Yeah.

02:28:49.960 --> 02:28:53.480
So not really getting too much as far as a trade is concerned.

02:28:53.480 --> 02:28:57.160
Pays with a lot of money in this game, despite just being taken down,

02:28:57.160 --> 02:28:59.080
but he does have the last whisper.

02:28:59.080 --> 02:29:02.720
So just went for as much flat AD as possible before the last fight, I guess,

02:29:02.720 --> 02:29:04.760
as Boussio now in a little bit of trouble.

02:29:04.760 --> 02:29:09.720
Scout of the Week is not going to connect, but the Cyclone a little bit more difficult to avoid

02:29:09.720 --> 02:29:14.120
as he does try to use the Hextech ultimatum to deny the gameplay button,

02:29:14.120 --> 02:29:16.360
but it does not actually do enough.

02:29:16.360 --> 02:29:20.280
It's now T1 with a kill 15 seconds before the Baron

02:29:20.280 --> 02:29:22.120
and is looking like a potential avenue here.

02:29:22.120 --> 02:29:24.040
And if they take the Baron before the Dragon is available,

02:29:24.040 --> 02:29:25.640
then that trade that we were talking about

02:29:25.640 --> 02:29:27.160
is not even going to be possible.

02:29:27.160 --> 02:29:27.800
Yeah.

02:29:27.800 --> 02:29:29.800
Lucius is going to be dead for 10 seconds after the spawn.

02:29:29.800 --> 02:29:31.840
So if T1 are going to start it, they have to rate on spawn.

02:29:31.840 --> 02:29:32.680
They are going to do that.

02:29:32.680 --> 02:29:34.480
Paze undid his GA purchase.

02:29:34.480 --> 02:29:35.960
So he does not have that Guardian Angel.

02:29:35.960 --> 02:29:38.200
He has less until he pointed out instead.

02:29:38.200 --> 02:29:39.440
And Kalista getting chunked out.

02:29:39.440 --> 02:29:40.320
Conn is already chunked out.

02:29:40.320 --> 02:29:41.680
This is going to be really hard.

02:29:41.680 --> 02:29:43.920
It's kind of up to Yike and Yehu here

02:29:43.920 --> 02:29:45.720
On the side, can they find the angle?

02:29:45.720 --> 02:29:48.120
Onus might find it has been pretty good so far this tournament.

02:29:48.120 --> 02:29:50.480
And he also has Doran available.

02:29:50.480 --> 02:29:52.280
Spring display of talent, not quite doing enough.

02:29:52.280 --> 02:29:53.280
Doran's so tanky.

02:29:53.280 --> 02:29:55.360
Yi can get in here, but it's not going to be enough.

02:29:55.360 --> 02:29:57.320
And they take the Baron and trade for their top laner.

02:29:57.320 --> 02:29:59.360
But the problem is, now you have to fight Soul,

02:29:59.360 --> 02:30:01.160
and you just lost Doran for that whole thing.

02:30:01.160 --> 02:30:03.720
He goes in, and he finds such a beautiful angle.

02:30:03.720 --> 02:30:06.560
Cicin and Dyson does go down, but he's done so much damage

02:30:06.560 --> 02:30:08.360
as Yi casts a flash away.

02:30:08.360 --> 02:30:11.120
If T1 can actually get a reset in before this dragon,

02:30:11.120 --> 02:30:12.200
then it's possible.

02:30:12.200 --> 02:30:15.440
It's five seconds and they have to make their way back out onto the riff.

02:30:15.440 --> 02:30:17.940
Yeah, KC could just rush it. It should be theirs, I think.

02:30:17.940 --> 02:30:20.040
You can see Pays is just going towards topside here.

02:30:20.040 --> 02:30:21.580
They're actually TP for this.

02:30:21.580 --> 02:30:24.600
I'm not sure why Pays is not coming if they're going to commit to the play

02:30:24.600 --> 02:30:27.000
because Faker is in the area. He's trying to see, can I get there

02:30:27.000 --> 02:30:29.300
and make a magical steal?

02:30:29.300 --> 02:30:31.040
Cannot make it happen.

02:30:31.040 --> 02:30:34.600
It is impossible. So that is the mountain soul

02:30:34.600 --> 02:30:38.840
to come through for KC and now six minutes on the clock.

02:30:38.840 --> 02:30:40.000
And now Faker's up.

02:30:40.000 --> 02:30:42.000
Yeah, I think Faker is probably just dead.

02:30:42.000 --> 02:30:46.240
Yeah, Hexhec ultimatum comes down, doesn't find the scout of the week on to Yehu either,

02:30:46.240 --> 02:30:50.000
as Buseo is still trying to chase him down, figure buying as much time as possible, but

02:30:50.000 --> 02:30:55.760
those twin fangs are unavoidable, and T1, they are just trying to deny the backs so that Paze

02:30:55.760 --> 02:31:01.040
can take an inhibitor turret. And perhaps that is going to work, because Yehu is teleported over,

02:31:01.040 --> 02:31:06.000
looking for an angle towards these two here that are just trying to buy space, trying to buy time,

02:31:06.000 --> 02:31:10.320
they've got a blast going to get themselves out, and Sprint is their talent, will get the kill

02:31:10.320 --> 02:31:16.700
on the carrier and can it did make it back to deny the Caitlyn there's a casque to get some space for owner as well

02:31:16.700 --> 02:31:22.420
But I think the rebel Baron powerplay is not going to be doing too much in this one. I know I mean T1

02:31:22.980 --> 02:31:27.380
Really getting her pretty heavily here because you know they committed so much to go for the Baron

02:31:27.380 --> 02:31:30.920
But the mountain soul was spawning and that is what the game has been about this whole time

02:31:30.920 --> 02:31:35.380
So sure you do get the Baron but with Doran going over the wall there

02:31:35.380 --> 02:31:38.020
Obviously, his objective is to stop the 50-50, right?

02:31:38.020 --> 02:31:41.880
But when he goes over the wall into both Dyke and Yehu, it is a one-way trip.

02:31:41.880 --> 02:31:45.660
You can't get out through the miasma, so they burst him down, they kill off Doran,

02:31:45.660 --> 02:31:49.540
and then that really meant that T1 had no shot at actually stopping the soul.

02:31:49.540 --> 02:31:52.380
So this ends up being a horrible trade for T1.

02:31:52.380 --> 02:31:56.780
Probably would have been a lot more of a safer play to try to just play for the soul,

02:31:56.780 --> 02:32:01.260
but they felt like, hey, we killed Buseo, we can go for this now, then get the dragon after.

02:32:01.780 --> 02:32:04.980
But at the end of the day, they're not able to do that because they lost Doran,

02:32:04.980 --> 02:32:11.380
And now T1, back into a tough spot, the gold lead is nothing, but it is that mountain soul.

02:32:11.380 --> 02:32:16.100
Well, Oner gonna have to use a very early cyclone here as Yehu just does so much damage.

02:32:16.100 --> 02:32:21.700
Shushu Parage comes on through, it was actually a Leandrie's purchase here from this Cassiopeia.

02:32:21.700 --> 02:32:28.100
So if they actually get to an elder, the elder is just gonna die, like so incredibly quickly.

02:32:28.100 --> 02:32:33.860
So four minutes, T1 need to make sure that their setup around the Drake pit is gonna be way better than what we saw previously.

02:32:33.860 --> 02:32:39.540
Otherwise that one could just disappear. You can see Doran's gone for the bandal pipes. I mean, he knows the game really is

02:32:39.540 --> 02:32:41.540
I think I know which song he's playing as well

02:32:41.940 --> 02:32:47.660
Bit of the Yackity sack. So this guy so far as T1 have been playing fast and loose in this game

02:32:47.900 --> 02:32:54.300
Well, Pace has his GA this time. So and he's left the base. So it's for reals this time and now

02:32:54.300 --> 02:32:57.460
But let's on the other side still very very strong

02:32:57.740 --> 02:33:01.780
And when you get to this later point of the game where you have your armor pen where you have the endless hunger

02:33:01.780 --> 02:33:04.580
you have just no cooldown whatsoever on your Q.

02:33:04.580 --> 02:33:08.480
You get so much ability haste that if you hit a Q, your Q is back up.

02:33:08.480 --> 02:33:11.880
You know, it really starts being a real threat in the late game.

02:33:11.880 --> 02:33:13.680
People talk about Ezreal not being able to kill tanks,

02:33:13.680 --> 02:33:16.280
but when you get to this point in the game, you can actually hit kill tanks.

02:33:16.280 --> 02:33:19.980
When you have all your abilities hitting, it is very, very threatening.

02:33:19.980 --> 02:33:23.180
But Mountain Soul or not, it is going to come down to the Engages,

02:33:23.180 --> 02:33:26.280
because if you bungle the Engage as the Qiyana, as the Camille,

02:33:26.280 --> 02:33:30.380
you can absolutely still get one shot, even with the edge of knife,

02:33:30.380 --> 02:33:33.980
Even with the Mountain Soul, T1 are going to have the damage to push through here.

02:33:34.820 --> 02:33:40.460
Well, Faker, he is the one that has been struggling a little bit in comparison to his counterpart, 6-1 and 6.

02:33:40.460 --> 02:33:47.420
But yeah, on this Cassiopeia, I think the snake will be imperative for KC if they do want to close this game out.

02:33:47.420 --> 02:33:49.460
And right now, they're in a great position to do so.

02:33:49.460 --> 02:33:53.460
There's a slight gold advantage for T1, you can see it popped up on your screen just now.

02:33:53.460 --> 02:33:56.780
Who's going to get buried deep? He's in the jungle behind Dorian.

02:33:56.780 --> 02:33:58.340
We're gonna see if they're gonna look for Paze.

02:33:58.340 --> 02:34:01.000
I think he's gonna try to come in behind Paze and try to look for a pick,

02:34:01.000 --> 02:34:02.600
but Doran I think is maybe hunting.

02:34:02.600 --> 02:34:05.120
Now he's looking for the bottom lane, so he sees the red dots

02:34:05.120 --> 02:34:09.600
and does not see the Camille as Paze going to get engaged on there.

02:34:09.600 --> 02:34:10.760
Let's see where the carrier can find.

02:34:10.760 --> 02:34:13.440
The ulti does manage to get Paze golden,

02:34:13.440 --> 02:34:15.080
but it's gonna take some time.

02:34:15.080 --> 02:34:16.700
Does find the angle there as well.

02:34:16.700 --> 02:34:19.360
Supreme display of talent is fantastic with double GAs.

02:34:19.360 --> 02:34:20.800
Are gonna be popped here for T1.

02:34:20.800 --> 02:34:23.480
Magical journey comes over, trying to find a space.

02:34:23.480 --> 02:34:31.660
This is Kanna is taken out, Kallis gets scattered here by Bakers, it's a double for Doran, who doesn't seem able to lose health.

02:34:31.660 --> 02:34:44.700
Oh Kallis taking that into his own hands, not able to quite land that mystic shot though and now it's Onamaki his way and yet he has to flash away and pays, flashes in to secure the win for T1.

02:34:44.700 --> 02:34:48.180
Oh, this team just makes too much magic.

02:34:48.180 --> 02:34:53.500
Buccio is great, but Keria is the greatest of all time.

02:34:53.500 --> 02:34:54.940
It shows you why.

02:34:54.940 --> 02:34:59.620
The defense of Bartle, the portal to get Pays out after the GA,

02:34:59.620 --> 02:35:01.620
the locket to buy the time.

02:35:01.620 --> 02:35:07.060
Everything was perfectly played from Keria to get Pays out of there

02:35:07.060 --> 02:35:10.340
and get T1, their second win.

02:35:10.340 --> 02:35:13.300
And match point in this series as well.

02:35:13.300 --> 02:35:20.140
The Unleashed power to come through. I think Buzio deserves that as he has been absolutely amazing in this game.

02:35:20.140 --> 02:35:24.140
Unfortunately, it was not enough. As Yike, he's going to get scattered.

02:35:24.140 --> 02:35:28.340
He's going to get taken out, and it's going to be the Nexus turrets falling.

02:35:28.340 --> 02:35:36.340
But this game, nothing like what we saw in Game 1 as KC, they really made him work for it.

02:35:36.340 --> 02:35:38.940
But T1 still moved to match point.

02:35:38.940 --> 02:35:42.460
Man, I cannot get over. I want to watch that carry of light back again.

02:35:42.460 --> 02:35:47.140
He's gonna show it to us because that was absolutely insane

02:35:47.700 --> 02:35:49.700
Analyst as what do you think about that?

02:35:52.540 --> 02:35:55.420
Absolutely cinema they can't keep getting away with this

02:35:56.300 --> 02:36:01.380
Deja vu in day two another game two against a Western team

02:36:01.940 --> 02:36:06.660
Where they pull it out of the hat. It's the T1 magic Kobe. Oh, man

02:36:06.660 --> 02:36:09.300
Are they just giving us hope you got for their entertainers?

02:36:09.300 --> 02:36:15.380
Oh, stop the stop the game number one and then real action I have no no clue

02:36:15.380 --> 02:36:24.080
But what we do know is that throughout the history of lowly sports there have been certain metas where certain players are associated with certain champions

02:36:24.500 --> 02:36:27.980
Frog and Zanivia comes to mind Canyon, Middly comes to mind

02:36:28.420 --> 02:36:32.660
Lucy Lucian comes to mind and as we saw in that final fight

02:36:32.660 --> 02:36:37.540
It's Keria on Bard yet again getting it done. So this year

02:36:37.540 --> 02:36:44.220
There's only be been three games where teams have allowed the bar to go through draft. Do you know how many of those he lost?

02:36:46.420 --> 02:36:47.700
Zero

02:36:47.700 --> 02:36:51.380
So in fairness, I will say to KC they had a pretty good plan in this game

02:36:51.380 --> 02:36:55.580
They did and we saw a lot of success in the mid game, but Keria's Bard still so

02:36:56.220 --> 02:37:01.580
Fearsome so hard to deal with for the rowing potential. Also those team fights. He's just putting on a master class

02:37:01.580 --> 02:37:04.660
We will get to that team fight because that team fight was insane

02:37:04.660 --> 02:37:10.700
But it was the journey because in the early portions of the game that Camille was getting a little beat up the early game

02:37:10.700 --> 02:37:11.740
Don't want to think about it

02:37:11.740 --> 02:37:16.860
But at the six-minute mark when a like we saw owner go up top side

02:37:16.860 --> 02:37:19.660
And I thought Conor really ate that gank and it was working out well

02:37:19.940 --> 02:37:23.780
Meanwhile, they looked for a dive bot lane and I thought that's when Casey

02:37:24.140 --> 02:37:29.460
Started to really find their groove and it was there where Buccio ended up getting the dive they base

02:37:29.460 --> 02:37:35.100
He goes directly top lane. He gets the dive towards the top side. Buccio was really on a groove there.

02:37:35.100 --> 02:37:39.640
And look ignore the A deaths. That's just how you gonna play. You gotta play aggressive.

02:37:39.640 --> 02:37:44.440
You gotta find the practice plays and even leaving the team fights he was diving in but doing his job.

02:37:44.940 --> 02:37:47.940
Especially a lot of these ones here, you know faker in the river as well.

02:37:47.940 --> 02:37:52.180
He's trying to take advantage of Yaikos on the ward, but Buccio sneaks over the back of the pit.

02:37:52.180 --> 02:37:58.780
They find the one there. He's making a lot of these mid game plays for 4kc that got them into such a good position in the game.

02:37:58.780 --> 02:38:02.220
Yeah, I love that. I mean, this is for you. Shooters gonna shoot.

02:38:02.220 --> 02:38:06.140
Lucio just kept shooting. He missed the first two and then went on a hot streak

02:38:06.140 --> 02:38:09.980
and then started to cool off a little bit. But let's take a look at some of those fights where

02:38:09.980 --> 02:38:16.300
Casey were performing better. Yeah, so this one was a super decisive engage. And we actually saw

02:38:16.300 --> 02:38:21.500
it was T1 who was set up trying to make a trap here. They were in the river in this brush.

02:38:21.500 --> 02:38:26.220
We'll see in a second. And basically then had a control ward in the wrong position.

02:38:26.220 --> 02:38:31.220
So they thought they were all vision or actually on vision and I just love that Casey was so decisive in this fight

02:38:31.220 --> 02:38:38.220
in just looking to punish this because it was clear T1 were looking for some of themselves and just ended up overextended.

02:38:38.220 --> 02:38:40.220
Yeah, I'll take a look at it.

02:38:40.220 --> 02:38:46.220
T1 stacked up here. The control ward they have is too shallow. It doesn't see the ward that they're at.

02:38:46.220 --> 02:38:51.220
And then Casey go, hey, let's just flank behind him with a TP. T1 realized now with a sweeper, it's too late.

02:38:51.220 --> 02:38:56.820
It's too late, Renekton is behind him, Buseo's going in, he dies immediately, but his job is done.

02:38:56.820 --> 02:39:06.580
And oh my goodness, Yike with the big engage here, with the follow-up from the ulti, all three of them just get locked up, huge combo.

02:39:06.580 --> 02:39:15.020
Yeah, Yike was insane, but also just like a tear in the backline. Kana had an incredible laning phase, it was accentuated by the dive that Buseo came up with,

02:39:15.020 --> 02:39:19.320
And in all of these team fights, you could see the KC fans on fire.

02:39:19.320 --> 02:39:21.160
They truly believe I believe.

02:39:21.160 --> 02:39:23.160
Yeah, that was an exciting one.

02:39:23.160 --> 02:39:24.300
Man, what happened?

02:39:24.300 --> 02:39:26.460
Whenever I talk about it, you can not.

02:39:26.460 --> 02:39:29.440
You can never let up for a second versus versus T1.

02:39:29.440 --> 02:39:32.240
I mean, until you actually get up there to the Nexus, man.

02:39:32.240 --> 02:39:32.540
Is that?

02:39:32.540 --> 02:39:34.480
Yeah, they're never going down.

02:39:34.480 --> 02:39:37.140
This was the critical comeback play, though.

02:39:37.140 --> 02:39:40.240
This was critical because up until this point, KC,

02:39:40.240 --> 02:39:42.480
they had so much work to make you believe.

02:39:42.480 --> 02:39:46.600
But look, you get to combo here as well, but really, Calist never got to move.

02:39:46.600 --> 02:39:48.360
He got one mystic shot off there.

02:39:48.360 --> 02:39:52.480
It was a bounce house from Doran's teleport flanked from the Gragas from one side

02:39:52.480 --> 02:39:53.920
into owner's Wukong.

02:39:53.920 --> 02:39:57.120
Wukong ulti, that alley-up into Wukong ulti, really deleting him.

02:39:57.120 --> 02:39:59.040
Doran's landing hasn't been that strong in this tournament,

02:39:59.040 --> 02:40:01.640
but we always know him for his teamfight impact

02:40:01.640 --> 02:40:04.320
and just sliding in there, catching the animated carry.

02:40:04.320 --> 02:40:05.560
That's what we know him for best.

02:40:05.560 --> 02:40:09.240
Yeah, again, just one of those things that doesn't show up on the scoreboard

02:40:09.240 --> 02:40:13.920
during the unsung hero of this squad given all of them are superstars then

02:40:13.920 --> 02:40:18.460
speaking of superstar moments this final fight here yet again it is the

02:40:18.460 --> 02:40:23.640
stamp and reason why people come to the T1 circus despite getting caught out in

02:40:23.640 --> 02:40:29.100
a fantastic flank by Buccio they outplay it. The timing on the ult just as we see

02:40:29.100 --> 02:40:34.300
Yike commit onto the Caitlyn, stalls them out the G.A. then come in and it buys

02:40:34.300 --> 02:40:37.800
some time to get away with this portal and then when the G.A. comes in from

02:40:37.800 --> 02:40:39.640
It's into a Caitlyn so he gets trapped.

02:40:39.640 --> 02:40:44.040
This peel from Karrion was flawless and pays an owner able to

02:40:44.040 --> 02:40:45.040
renavigate the fight.

02:40:45.040 --> 02:40:46.240
It was so good.

02:40:46.240 --> 02:40:50.240
Yeah, the Syndra combo from Faker immediately after it.

02:40:50.240 --> 02:40:52.440
So close to be able to get the kill there.

02:40:52.440 --> 02:40:56.480
But man, the fact that that Baron fight much earlier on felt like it was

02:40:56.480 --> 02:41:02.080
going to solidify at 4-T1, but then you saw KC clawing back the game pick after pick.

02:41:02.080 --> 02:41:04.240
But that one just put the hammer down.

02:41:04.240 --> 02:41:06.000
T1 is now at match point.

02:41:06.000 --> 02:41:11.880
So critical and so many times like the GA revival like the duration of it often times people like oh, well

02:41:11.880 --> 02:41:15.560
Is it really that great for 80 carries because they'll just die when they get back up?

02:41:15.560 --> 02:41:19.200
No, they won't if they have carry in there to get to an exit path

02:41:19.200 --> 02:41:21.960
They got the traps down just a time before as well

02:41:21.960 --> 02:41:24.280
And then they have to say since then they have the exit

02:41:25.680 --> 02:41:30.560
It was crazy and and the old from the Qiana during the duration of those as well

02:41:30.560 --> 02:41:31.400
Oh my goodness

02:41:31.400 --> 02:41:35.960
And I feel like this is one of those fights where you look at everyone doing that part and if anyone messes up

02:41:35.960 --> 02:41:41.000
plays a little bit weird. Yeah. The fight does not wig. The T1 all came together in that clutch

02:41:41.000 --> 02:41:46.280
moment and for KC, it's heartbreaking. Yeah, it is, but they're not done yet. They got to pull

02:41:46.280 --> 02:41:52.600
themselves up off the floor. It is 2-0. T1 over KC will be back with game number three.

02:41:56.200 --> 02:41:59.880
He is unseen as he looks for the angle. Body signed on the left. There is the cost.

02:41:59.880 --> 02:42:03.960
Supreme just playing talent on the only the tank and they take out Kalis before anything

02:42:03.960 --> 02:42:09.720
it even happened! And it's just free hitting for Paze! Kanna with a massive ultimate but

02:42:09.720 --> 02:42:15.400
it doesn't do anything! And there it is ladies and gentlemen, T1 just win a team fight, take

02:42:15.400 --> 02:42:22.840
the Baron and they're back in control! How annoying is it? Oh this team just makes too much magic!

02:43:03.960 --> 02:43:07.080
when NA actually play in the correct lanes.

02:43:07.080 --> 02:43:09.980
The final event of the year is not to be missed.

02:43:09.980 --> 02:43:12.440
Esports Nation's Cup 2026.

02:43:12.440 --> 02:43:13.800
See you in Riyadh.

02:43:15.860 --> 02:43:17.860
All iron, but take it slow.

02:43:17.860 --> 02:43:18.860
Fire, fire, fire.

02:43:18.860 --> 02:43:20.860
Fire, fire, fire.

02:43:20.860 --> 02:43:21.860
Take it slow.

02:43:21.860 --> 02:43:23.860
Fire, fire, fire.

02:43:23.860 --> 02:43:25.860
Fire, fire, fire.

02:43:25.860 --> 02:43:27.860
Fire, fire, fire.

02:43:27.860 --> 02:43:29.860
Fire, fire, fire.

02:43:29.860 --> 02:43:31.860
Fire, fire, fire.

02:44:01.860 --> 02:44:15.860

02:44:15.860 --> 02:44:22.580

02:45:59.100 --> 02:46:03.840
I'm gonna get you, somebody like me

02:46:03.840 --> 02:46:08.260
I can't imagine what you're like, I don't know why

02:46:08.260 --> 02:46:13.020
You're like me, I don't think you'll ever know

02:46:13.020 --> 02:46:16.740
I can do whatever, everything I want all day

02:46:16.740 --> 02:46:21.660
I don't need any effort, so I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

02:46:21.660 --> 02:46:24.700
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

02:46:24.700 --> 02:46:26.700
I can't even tell you

02:46:26.700 --> 02:46:30.700
Look at me, I can't even open my eyes

02:46:30.700 --> 02:46:33.700
I can't even look at you, I'm a banana

02:46:33.700 --> 02:46:35.700
I'm a banana, I'm a banana Tia

02:46:35.700 --> 02:46:38.700
I'm gonna hold you so many

02:46:38.700 --> 02:46:41.700
If I like it, let me get it

02:46:41.700 --> 02:46:43.700
Why you keep it like me?

02:46:43.700 --> 02:46:44.700
I didn't say anything

02:46:44.700 --> 02:46:47.700
I'm still looking at you

02:46:47.700 --> 02:46:50.700
I can't even say anything

02:47:20.700 --> 02:47:46.260
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, MSGOT 2026.

02:47:46.260 --> 02:47:47.260
You're welcome, sale.

02:47:47.260 --> 02:47:48.260
Appreciate that.

02:47:48.260 --> 02:47:50.900
and to anyone who is watching as well.

02:47:50.900 --> 02:47:53.020
And we are ready to get into game number three.

02:47:53.020 --> 02:47:56.620
T1 leading with match point now, but games one and two,

02:47:56.620 --> 02:48:00.660
I felt things drift more towards the KC direction.

02:48:00.660 --> 02:48:04.860
Now, KC need to try and transition that into destroying it.

02:48:04.860 --> 02:48:08.660
Now they are feeling the pain that CL felt yesterday,

02:48:08.660 --> 02:48:10.660
where you're like, hey, we're winning.

02:48:10.660 --> 02:48:11.780
We're heading gold.

02:48:11.780 --> 02:48:13.380
We got soul. We're going to do it.

02:48:13.380 --> 02:48:15.660
And now it can't be more heartbreaking, right?

02:48:15.660 --> 02:48:17.620
Like, that's what you need to avoid.

02:48:17.620 --> 02:48:23.120
That's what I'm saying. It certainly can, but they need to avoid that feeling as we get into champ select.

02:48:23.120 --> 02:48:28.120
Thanks to HyperX, and we're looking to see what changes are going to be made.

02:48:28.120 --> 02:48:32.120
Immediately, the Vayne ban is standing out to me here as KC.

02:48:32.120 --> 02:48:35.620
Just want to make sure the Buseo isn't able to hover that pick.

02:48:35.620 --> 02:48:39.620
Yeah, it's going to be interesting going into this next game.

02:48:39.620 --> 02:48:43.620
So much credit to Zerv, I think, by Yike for his bounce back in the second game compared to the first.

02:48:43.620 --> 02:48:45.620
They had a brutal game in the first game,

02:48:45.620 --> 02:48:47.620
and it was put so far behind, they never really got to play.

02:48:47.620 --> 02:48:50.620
Game two, you know, it was really doing well,

02:48:50.620 --> 02:48:53.620
but I feel like 4KC, Fusio was absolutely a star for me.

02:48:53.620 --> 02:48:55.620
No question, was finding so many plays.

02:48:55.620 --> 02:48:58.620
Even after the early game, the very early game went bad,

02:48:58.620 --> 02:49:00.620
you know, where Kalis gets first blooded,

02:49:00.620 --> 02:49:02.620
and it was kind of, you know, we could see it happening here.

02:49:02.620 --> 02:49:04.620
I called it a couple of games in advance.

02:49:04.620 --> 02:49:06.620
Usually, a lot of times, when that kind of thing happens,

02:49:06.620 --> 02:49:09.620
and you give Pays first blood, you are just cooked, right?

02:49:09.620 --> 02:49:12.620
But they found engages, they found fights, they battled back,

02:49:12.620 --> 02:49:19.280
in fact, they got sold, they did so many good things in that game, but T1 always manages

02:49:19.280 --> 02:49:23.880
to grab a victory from the Jaws of the Feed and they did it once more.

02:49:23.880 --> 02:49:26.720
Varus coming through, which a lot of people felt like, hey, Varus might be out of the

02:49:26.720 --> 02:49:29.480
meta with some of the changes and with some of the nerfs.

02:49:29.480 --> 02:49:32.800
We did see Yan play, he went shiv into Rageblade.

02:49:32.800 --> 02:49:36.760
We could still potentially see a top lane, so there is always that chance of him getting

02:49:36.760 --> 02:49:41.720
flexed around, but I do think lethality Varus seems a lot worse in this case.

02:49:41.720 --> 02:49:46.120
They do forego the Ryze first pick, which was what I was kind of thinking that we're

02:49:46.120 --> 02:49:51.440
going to go with seeing the Anivia ban, the fact that feel-as-ly the Cassiopeia has been

02:49:51.440 --> 02:49:52.440
removed.

02:49:52.440 --> 02:49:55.680
This is a champion that Baker has had a little bit of experience on.

02:49:55.680 --> 02:49:58.440
You can cast your mind back a little bit there.

02:49:58.440 --> 02:50:03.000
And so that's a lot to sacrifice in order to get the Varus.

02:50:03.000 --> 02:50:07.720
As owner is thinking about Jarvan, the next one on the tier list, you have to say, and

02:50:07.720 --> 02:50:08.720
that will be logged in.

02:50:08.720 --> 02:50:13.860
Yeah, it's always such an effective pick against Ferris because Ferris has no dash. It can be difficult.

02:50:13.860 --> 02:50:17.920
I wonder who would go towards this this year. I know that is kind of like his ultimate comfort pick

02:50:17.920 --> 02:50:22.040
That is the champion that he's kind of most associated with but instead it will be the Annie. So

02:50:22.560 --> 02:50:26.140
Ferris, Annie, Zen, some really strong picks here

02:50:26.680 --> 02:50:29.520
considering we are in game three especially, you know, for

02:50:30.120 --> 02:50:35.320
for fearless. Yeah, giving them some engage, giving them some good front lines and some follow-up

02:50:35.320 --> 02:50:43.320
I'm kind of curious to see if we're going to have matched roles here from T1 if they're going to grab a pick for Paze or if we're going to have some differences.

02:50:43.320 --> 02:50:51.320
Yeah, they could grab something for Doran here and just round out their top side of the map, assuming the Baptist is also rounding out the top side of the map for KC.

02:50:51.320 --> 02:50:57.320
And that is what they're going to do. The Yaruk will be picked up. And Yaruk has been an answer into these ranged top lanes.

02:50:57.320 --> 02:50:58.320
It's quick, Ed.

02:50:58.320 --> 02:51:04.560
Often used into the cannon, I know that you stated it so beautifully last time we cast

02:51:04.560 --> 02:51:08.400
together in first hand and that was, if you hit E, you win lane.

02:51:08.400 --> 02:51:09.400
Yep, that is literally every URIC expert.

02:51:09.400 --> 02:51:13.400
I've been using it all year, I'm like, oh, this is the best, I know exactly how it works.

02:51:13.400 --> 02:51:15.520
I'm a URIC expert, I know every URIC matchup.

02:51:15.520 --> 02:51:21.160
I mean, I was a URIC expert and it was the same, but you could hit E because it was targeted

02:51:21.160 --> 02:51:22.160
when he first came out.

02:51:22.160 --> 02:51:23.160
There you go, yeah.

02:51:23.160 --> 02:51:25.160
How does a Varus restore a Varus go?

02:51:25.160 --> 02:51:27.040
Well, if you hit E, you usually win.

02:51:27.040 --> 02:51:31.040
How about the Jace one? This one's a little bit different. You have to hit E or you're going to lose.

02:51:31.040 --> 02:51:42.040
So there are some differences, but definitely is a fun pick. People like it a lot in pro play, obviously against the Jace, but then it's already been played. They like it a lot against the Rumble.

02:51:42.040 --> 02:51:51.040
It is really strong versus some of these matchups. I think it's also going to be quite good against the Verus if they are going to use the potential of this big Verus top.

02:51:51.040 --> 02:51:56.220
The thing I would be nervous about if I'm going to our client is a lot of these champions, you know, with Dash just can be quite difficult.

02:51:56.220 --> 02:52:02.040
Basically anything that can completely ignore your cage and can threaten all ends can be really, really tough.

02:52:02.040 --> 02:52:12.540
There's a lot of, kind of, like, more old-school counters. People used to like Cho'Gath because Cho'Gath at rank one of the Maiden can basically one-shot the Maiden and get a Fistack off of it, which is not that fun.

02:52:12.540 --> 02:52:20.540
Renekton is another pro-play answer that people love to it, but that is already gone, so maybe that's kind of making Doran feel a little bit more bold with the early pick.

02:52:21.040 --> 02:52:28.120
I'm I have this weird sink like a sneaking suspicion that Pays and carry are gonna play Zarya uni again

02:52:28.120 --> 02:52:33.580
I don't know why I'm just feeling that that's what they're heading towards the Rakan ban

02:52:33.580 --> 02:52:36.420
I really like I think Annie Rakan is really powerful

02:52:36.980 --> 02:52:41.180
Especially when paired with the Varus there as well change the corruption to really layer that extra CC

02:52:41.220 --> 02:52:45.960
But the gym is gonna be taken away from base to avoid that long-range option

02:52:45.960 --> 02:52:51.120
And he is instead going to go a different route as the Lucian will be locked away

02:52:51.600 --> 02:52:55.320
Melio probably on the cards and let's boost you decides he wants to pick that one away

02:52:55.600 --> 02:53:00.560
Yeah, we definitely think that it's gonna be Lucian Melio as the answer here

02:53:01.200 --> 02:53:07.160
Clearly Casey we're trying to take away some of the safe laning options. The Jhin, the Ziggs both strong laners

02:53:07.160 --> 02:53:08.920
But they can also play from very far away

02:53:08.920 --> 02:53:13.760
It's a lot more difficult to get onto them before champions like the Annie who are really looking for that engage

02:53:13.760 --> 02:53:18.040
Lucian, you need space to be created for you if you're gonna be dashing in there

02:53:18.040 --> 02:53:21.600
within any having timbers available, right? You know, that is always very very scary.

02:53:21.600 --> 02:53:28.080
Ferris Niko, really common 2v2 that we've seen for quite a long time, which does

02:53:28.080 --> 02:53:31.360
make me wonder, you know, if it is just gonna be that lethality style even though

02:53:31.360 --> 02:53:34.520
that has received some nerfs. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. As soon as I see Niko

02:53:34.520 --> 02:53:38.800
of Arras on like, it's lethality. But especially if there's not really a tank

02:53:38.800 --> 02:53:42.520
on the other side, it doesn't really matter that much, you know. They have

02:53:42.520 --> 02:53:46.520
pretty good damage, especially if you are going to go towards the NAR.

02:53:46.520 --> 02:53:51.520
Connob is obviously so comfortable on it. I do think it is a pretty good matchup for the Yorick.

02:53:51.520 --> 02:53:54.520
That's what I was thinking. I'm like, this is a bit of a scary one.

02:53:54.520 --> 02:53:58.520
Picking it into the Yorick, it's already there, but we did see kind of like

02:53:58.520 --> 02:54:03.520
pick a NAR into a theoretical losing matchup yesterday, and he obliterated it.

02:54:03.520 --> 02:54:07.520
It's just comfort, right? Like, I just love this champion, and I will say

02:54:07.520 --> 02:54:11.520
once NAR gets to early tier 2 boots, this champion gets so much movespeed

02:54:11.520 --> 02:54:16.860
much movespeed from Hyper, from obviously having the upgraded boots, and if you're even

02:54:16.860 --> 02:54:21.320
thinking you need more, you can go Fleet, and all of these movespeed increases to be able

02:54:21.320 --> 02:54:22.520
to actually dodge the morning.

02:54:22.520 --> 02:54:23.520
Yes, dodge E.

02:54:23.520 --> 02:54:28.640
To dodge E, and that is really, really big because every time you even post 6, if you

02:54:28.640 --> 02:54:32.200
dodge E, then you're actually putting damage into the Maiden itself, and then it becomes

02:54:32.200 --> 02:54:35.920
this weird minigame where York is actually having to pull back away from the wave to

02:54:35.920 --> 02:54:39.240
try to save the Maiden, and if the Maiden gets too low, you have to keep facing, which

02:54:39.240 --> 02:54:43.800
Which is really annoying, but if you ignore the Naurin, you don't throw your E, then he's just going to chip you down.

02:54:43.800 --> 02:54:50.600
So, it is one of those matchups that I do think you can outplay from the Naur side, but Doran's going to be pretty happy that this is a matchup he's seen.

02:54:50.600 --> 02:54:56.000
Yep, we'll see whether Doran can stand his ground, can be difficult in the earlier stages.

02:54:56.000 --> 02:55:03.600
Of course, but the Yarrick as we get later and later into the game, and the fact that T1 have been so good at locking down Grubb priority,

02:55:03.600 --> 02:55:09.960
I mean getting the split push later on with three grubs and a Yark is going to feel absolutely fantastic

02:55:09.960 --> 02:55:12.320
And with T1's control of the map from mid to late game

02:55:12.320 --> 02:55:20.480
I think that you'll be in a really difficult position if you are KC, but they've been really good especially in the last game at just

02:55:21.200 --> 02:55:28.280
Staying the course and getting themselves into good spots. So here we are into game number three T1 with that match point

02:55:28.280 --> 02:55:31.720
KC, this could be the beginning of the reverse sweep.

02:55:31.720 --> 02:55:35.320
Yeah, we'll see if we're going to be able to get that done.

02:55:35.320 --> 02:55:39.080
Yehuu, he is a former LCK player.

02:55:39.080 --> 02:55:41.600
You know, he has had some experience against Faker.

02:55:41.600 --> 02:55:42.120
Yes.

02:55:42.120 --> 02:55:43.160
You know, coming into today...

02:55:43.160 --> 02:55:45.280
Do you want to know his experience against Faker?

02:55:45.280 --> 02:55:47.880
He is 0-6 coming into today, so he is now 0-8.

02:55:47.880 --> 02:55:50.000
He has never won a game against Faker.

02:55:50.000 --> 02:55:53.560
And if they lose this game, he will then be 0-4 in series as well.

02:55:53.560 --> 02:55:56.400
So, you know, that is tough, but I will say,

02:55:56.400 --> 02:55:57.600
he has been playing quite well.

02:55:57.600 --> 02:56:02.520
I feel like he's been oh my goodness. This is just a lot of biffo. There is the barrier out of callus

02:56:02.520 --> 02:56:06.900
Pace still has his that no heals remaining on either side

02:56:06.900 --> 02:56:12.560
Oh, it's getting explosive here in this bottom lane. That is a lot of ardent blaze value there from Pace

02:56:12.880 --> 02:56:15.640
Wanting to race towards this level two. Yeah, absolutely

02:56:15.640 --> 02:56:21.440
It's actually going Doran's helm which has been nerfed on this patch and he's down a summoner and use both his potions first

02:56:21.440 --> 02:56:26.880
So and he's gone lethal tempo. So he is going on him. Yeah, which which is interesting

02:56:26.880 --> 02:56:31.160
I mean you need someone to kill the front line off eventually I guess but it could it could be hard against these kind of comps

02:56:31.160 --> 02:56:35.140
Sometimes actually stand and fire, you know for long enough, but if you do this made the initial

02:56:35.600 --> 02:56:40.940
You know kind of go from owner and Doran then you may just be fine as both these balling trying to race for two

02:56:40.940 --> 02:56:42.940
But Pays is gonna get it first then

02:56:43.600 --> 02:56:49.340
And finds the double tap on to call us the flash has to be used and the odd and blaze just to make sure the boosier

02:56:49.340 --> 02:56:54.960
He's out of there as well. This is Pays and carrier in vintage domination mode

02:56:54.960 --> 02:57:00.560
Yeah, that is his beautiful form from them and I one of these little things that I love when you see some art plays like this

02:57:00.660 --> 02:57:04.260
So from that spot as soon as I saw that you know Casey overstayed

02:57:04.260 --> 02:57:07.220
You know if you want is going to get to and you know Khalees is gonna have to flash

02:57:07.220 --> 02:57:10.400
But it will be one of the T1 members that has to flash to force it

02:57:10.440 --> 02:57:15.560
So Pays holds his flash all right all up there from Canada as Doren finds a bit of health with the Q

02:57:15.560 --> 02:57:20.040
But mini now comes in the boomerang comes down. He can't quite get the order

02:57:20.040 --> 02:57:24.880
Tarrot would have definitely killed him there, but still manages to get the flash out of the arc

02:57:24.880 --> 02:57:30.620
Maybe some more aggression later from kind of will be out of luck this one down and he does get the shove under the Tarrot

02:57:30.620 --> 02:57:33.000
That was really really close. I thought that was going to dissipate earlier

02:57:33.000 --> 02:57:37.760
But actually the earlier point basically carry or pace one of them needs to flash to force the flash from Callist

02:57:37.800 --> 02:57:42.040
So carry it does it early to force that flash and keep the flash available for pace

02:57:42.040 --> 02:57:46.720
So it's just these little optimizations that are just so smart if they both flash this is gonna flash there anyway

02:57:46.720 --> 02:57:49.680
It doesn't accomplish anything look at the buy for a list by the way

02:57:49.680 --> 02:57:58.960
It's a bit of a horror, it has been a tough day in the 2v2 for them in general, and owner

02:57:58.960 --> 02:58:01.200
is now down here with no flash on Ferris.

02:58:01.200 --> 02:58:04.680
Yeah, Jyke is here as well though, going for a little bit of a defensive play, there's

02:58:04.680 --> 02:58:09.080
a flash flag in drag, but the Zintow is there to meet them, Kalisto just getting taken down,

02:58:09.080 --> 02:58:13.000
it's going to be first blood over to owner, Jyke trying to make sure they can at least

02:58:13.000 --> 02:58:16.960
get one back, but he is dead as well, Boussio running for the hills and it's a 2 for 1 for

02:58:16.960 --> 02:58:17.960
T1.

02:58:17.960 --> 02:58:22.520
really well done by T1. I think some junglers would have made the mistake there of actually

02:58:22.520 --> 02:58:26.680
EQ flashing and then they would lose out on the flag and drag damage. It was actually

02:58:26.680 --> 02:58:30.680
critical to flash first in that situation. They needed the additional damage there from

02:58:30.680 --> 02:58:37.240
owner and he knew it. If the jungler is there and I EQ flash in, I will just die. So instead,

02:58:37.240 --> 02:58:41.720
he flash flag and drag gets the full damage onto the Varus, pays his free hitting the

02:58:41.720 --> 02:58:46.080
whole time even though they focus down on owner. It's not a fight the KC can win from

02:58:46.080 --> 02:58:50.040
that spot and just these little optimizations that you always love to

02:58:50.040 --> 02:58:52.640
watch when you're watching the best players in the world right they just

02:58:52.640 --> 02:58:56.800
have so much thought oh dear Luccio is just dead in the meantime pays in a

02:58:56.800 --> 02:59:00.240
little bit of trouble but obviously Baker is here and he's looking to try and

02:59:00.240 --> 02:59:03.960
lock down the kill on the Calis he'll get that hundred health on pays that is

02:59:03.960 --> 02:59:09.240
just enough to keep him pushing this lane and T1 close to a 2000 gold lead of

02:59:09.240 --> 02:59:14.360
four minutes yeah that is really rough stuff here especially you know when you

02:59:14.360 --> 02:59:18.920
You are going there, Saniko, and you're thinking you're going to have a pretty strong 2v2,

02:59:18.920 --> 02:59:20.960
but things went so bad so early.

02:59:20.960 --> 02:59:22.120
So here's that earlier play.

02:59:22.120 --> 02:59:25.440
Like I said, you know Scalist has no flash, he's not going to go for an EQ flash.

02:59:25.440 --> 02:59:30.000
Instead, Flag drags him, gets that full damage down onto the list, focusing him down.

02:59:30.000 --> 02:59:33.720
Even with Yaijin in position reading the play, it just didn't matter because the owner got

02:59:33.720 --> 02:59:37.200
his full damage out, kites well, and creates space for Paze.

02:59:37.200 --> 02:59:42.000
Yeah, the fire kick as well from Keria was amazing to make sure that the Xin Zhao value

02:59:42.000 --> 02:59:43.480
is just not going to quite be there.

02:59:43.480 --> 02:59:47.960
We have a look at this play as well as Boussio just taken too much.

02:59:47.960 --> 02:59:51.240
Yeah, Boussio is scrapping too hard there, absolutely.

02:59:51.240 --> 02:59:54.680
And as soon as the Tanglebar misses, as soon as that Rube misses,

02:59:54.680 --> 02:59:55.880
well, now you have nothing, right?

02:59:55.880 --> 02:59:59.880
And Payne's just dashes right past that E and gets right in on him.

02:59:59.880 --> 03:00:03.520
You can see, definitely not looking too happy is Callist,

03:00:03.520 --> 03:00:05.520
as they are just getting blasted right now.

03:00:05.520 --> 03:00:07.520
And Geike is going to come down and try to help him out.

03:00:07.520 --> 03:00:08.600
But he is spotted.

03:00:08.600 --> 03:00:10.360
Owner is still in the area.

03:00:10.360 --> 03:00:10.600
Yeah.

03:00:10.600 --> 03:00:12.440
And this bot lane cannot breathe.

03:00:12.440 --> 03:00:17.260
Yeah, clear to the ward, but now you've got the Charbin moving down, they know exactly where Yike is.

03:00:17.260 --> 03:00:20.600
He knows that he's seen as Doran taking a lot of damage here as well.

03:00:20.600 --> 03:00:25.440
There's the Gully wall down and Kanna should be able to get this solo kill, but the Q comes in, finds the Boulder,

03:00:25.440 --> 03:00:27.680
and will be able to get rid of the arc.

03:00:27.680 --> 03:00:33.440
In the meantime, Faker very close to death as well, but that solo kill from Kanna might be a bit of hope back for KC.

03:00:33.800 --> 03:00:34.300
Yeah, no kidding.

03:00:34.300 --> 03:00:39.100
What is happening here? Okay, that's a bit of extra money, as Tibbers did a fair bit of work there to Faker.

03:00:39.100 --> 03:00:43.980
I kind of want to see the top lane again because look how many minions are there that was like a triple stacked wave

03:00:43.980 --> 03:00:48.300
Yeah, but he just died on that is and there's no cannon to soak this either

03:00:48.300 --> 03:00:55.580
So he's gonna lose so many of these he legit lost almost a full full like two waves at least I think on that play

03:00:55.620 --> 03:00:57.620
So it's not just the solo kill

03:00:57.620 --> 03:01:01.540
The first death is is often not as big of a deal in top lane

03:01:01.540 --> 03:01:06.980
But when you die with no TP and the waves at your tower that can be game ruining because look at the experience difference

03:01:06.980 --> 03:01:10.220
There's a full level off of that. That is not a fake one-level lead.

03:01:10.220 --> 03:01:12.380
That is a full level that Kona has.

03:01:12.380 --> 03:01:15.180
Kona's gonna have more minions coming back towards him.

03:01:15.180 --> 03:01:19.280
And so now, Doran, you can get into that tough spot where it's like,

03:01:19.280 --> 03:01:21.980
as York, if you don't win sides,

03:01:21.980 --> 03:01:24.280
you very quickly get to, what do I do in this game?

03:01:24.280 --> 03:01:25.580
Like, what is my point?

03:01:25.580 --> 03:01:29.480
And Nara is very good in side lanes, but also a fantastic teamfighter as well.

03:01:29.480 --> 03:01:33.580
We know that Doran can make things work in teamfights on a lot of champions.

03:01:33.580 --> 03:01:38.940
his team fight Olaf, for example, some of the best that we've ever seen. Yorick is a difficult one to make work.

03:01:38.940 --> 03:01:45.980
But if there's anyone that can do it, it's probably Doran. But hey, if you're watching MSI, you might as well get rewarded for it.

03:01:45.980 --> 03:01:54.460
A Zale, head over to lollysports.com after you've finished work. Log in with your Riot ID and watch live for a chance to earn MSI 2026 drops.

03:01:55.340 --> 03:02:00.860
And Isaac, you can do that. Maybe just put your phone over to the side or something like that. You're allowed to do it while you're working.

03:02:00.860 --> 03:02:02.280
and I'm watching, okay?

03:02:03.580 --> 03:02:04.980
You haven't actually reached for it though,

03:02:04.980 --> 03:02:06.820
so I don't know why I'm being mean.

03:02:06.820 --> 03:02:07.940
Let's have a look at this little fight

03:02:07.940 --> 03:02:08.820
towards the topside though,

03:02:08.820 --> 03:02:12.020
as the Narbak is beautiful onto Doran.

03:02:12.020 --> 03:02:13.300
He does have some goolies here,

03:02:13.300 --> 03:02:14.980
but he is just going to be dropped down,

03:02:14.980 --> 03:02:17.180
and that is a beautiful play from KC.

03:02:17.180 --> 03:02:19.180
I think playing towards your winning lane

03:02:19.180 --> 03:02:21.780
is a great way out of this initial slump

03:02:21.780 --> 03:02:23.060
that they have had,

03:02:23.060 --> 03:02:25.100
and that is certainly going to be working out for them.

03:02:25.100 --> 03:02:27.100
This carrier trying to be annoying here in this bottom lane,

03:02:27.100 --> 03:02:29.340
but they do manage to protect the back from the Varus.

03:02:29.340 --> 03:02:30.500
Yep, that is well done.

03:02:30.500 --> 03:02:32.260
As Timur is going to be dropped again,

03:02:32.260 --> 03:02:34.340
Yehuu just kind of doing this on repeat,

03:02:34.340 --> 03:02:36.660
you know, trying to use it just to chunk him out.

03:02:36.660 --> 03:02:39.180
I will say, you know, small win for Dorian

03:02:39.180 --> 03:02:40.500
is that at least he didn't have the Maiden out,

03:02:40.500 --> 03:02:41.340
so you don't lose a Maiden.

03:02:41.340 --> 03:02:44.460
It actually sucks so much when you die early on in the game

03:02:44.460 --> 03:02:45.500
and you lose that Maiden.

03:02:45.500 --> 03:02:47.020
So now he did summon it up.

03:02:47.020 --> 03:02:48.380
He's going to try to reset that wave

03:02:48.380 --> 03:02:50.460
because he needs to get it into crash.

03:02:50.460 --> 03:02:51.620
And he will be able to do that

03:02:51.620 --> 03:02:52.820
because he has that power of the Maiden.

03:02:52.820 --> 03:02:54.380
We can see him backing up now

03:02:54.380 --> 03:02:56.300
to try to preserve its health.

03:02:56.300 --> 03:03:01.120
as the owner is up here on that topside, but Yehu doing a good job with the bear, scouting him out.

03:03:01.120 --> 03:03:07.380
Yeah, all with the Annie, because obviously it's reverse Annie, so that is Annie that the Tivus is going to be dropping as Paze

03:03:07.380 --> 03:03:13.280
in a really uncomfortable position, but relentless pursuit is going to be used against its namesake and gets him out of there.

03:03:13.280 --> 03:03:18.780
When it comes to Lightning, Keria taking a little bit of damage there, but KC on the front foot once again,

03:03:18.780 --> 03:03:25.900
and I really like this, I feel like KC have just not been perturbed by the difficult early game towards the bottom side,

03:03:25.900 --> 03:03:27.820
and have just got back on that front foot,

03:03:27.820 --> 03:03:30.740
playing around their spikes as best they can.

03:03:30.740 --> 03:03:34.460
And now, Paze could be in a little bit of trouble.

03:03:34.460 --> 03:03:35.320
He could, we'll see.

03:03:35.320 --> 03:03:37.180
Kerry is around and is level six.

03:03:37.180 --> 03:03:39.060
So it would be tough to knock him down

03:03:39.060 --> 03:03:41.460
with all the summoners available and the breath of life.

03:03:41.460 --> 03:03:43.500
You have to be really on point with your engage.

03:03:43.500 --> 03:03:47.260
So it's a risky play to go for KC, and they do know it.

03:03:47.260 --> 03:03:49.620
So they will play back for now.

03:03:49.620 --> 03:03:51.460
Doran, obviously, in a really tough spot.

03:03:51.460 --> 03:03:54.420
If you're a Doran, your job is get farm, protect the tower,

03:03:54.420 --> 03:03:55.060
don't die.

03:03:55.060 --> 03:03:59.620
That is it. You're no longer playing for trades. You're no longer playing for anything in the 1v1

03:04:00.020 --> 03:04:05.860
Just get in the backpack. Let the teammates who have that lead get the job done

03:04:05.860 --> 03:04:09.220
I feel like Doran throughout his career has been very good at that

03:04:09.620 --> 03:04:14.860
Very good at the kid in the back. Oh, he does. He fits real nicely as Boussio taking a lot of damage

03:04:14.860 --> 03:04:17.460
When becomes lightning going to miss as there's the calling from Paze

03:04:17.580 --> 03:04:23.260
He's spacing beautifully as Boussio taking a lot of damage himself as that's a relentless suit in

03:04:23.260 --> 03:04:25.860
in from Paze at the result of that play

03:04:25.860 --> 03:04:27.100
and Keria throws down the ulti.

03:04:27.100 --> 03:04:28.300
He was holding onto that one,

03:04:28.300 --> 03:04:30.380
but he still takes so much from the piercing hour.

03:04:30.380 --> 03:04:31.220
It's here.

03:04:31.220 --> 03:04:32.660
In the meantime, exactly right.

03:04:32.660 --> 03:04:33.980
If you start that fight,

03:04:33.980 --> 03:04:35.540
you're gonna have to make sure you finish it quickly.

03:04:35.540 --> 03:04:37.580
Otherwise T1 will rotate over,

03:04:37.580 --> 03:04:39.340
but Oner is gonna be taking a lot of damage here.

03:04:39.340 --> 03:04:40.180
There's a cataclysm.

03:04:40.180 --> 03:04:42.020
He finds a flak and drag towards Gilles,

03:04:42.020 --> 03:04:44.700
but he has a brilliant barrier to keep him alive.

03:04:44.700 --> 03:04:46.500
But T1 also absolutely fine.

03:04:46.500 --> 03:04:48.020
Yeah, who in this mid lane,

03:04:48.020 --> 03:04:49.340
doing a lot of damage to Faker

03:04:49.340 --> 03:04:50.740
and holding him in the lane.

03:04:50.740 --> 03:04:56.180
And that is the main thing, as a teleport behind is looking to try and finish this one off.

03:04:56.180 --> 03:04:57.940
Yeah, gets himself out of there.

03:04:57.940 --> 03:05:02.240
Yank just gets destroyed by base, gets over the wall, picks up the double and counter.

03:05:02.240 --> 03:05:03.240
Can he protect this?

03:05:03.240 --> 03:05:05.740
One versus three, his health bar is massive.

03:05:05.740 --> 03:05:11.000
We're looking at Faker going down potentially here in this mid lane, but T1, they get away.

03:05:11.000 --> 03:05:13.500
That fire kick was looking pretty ultra-vega to me.

03:05:13.500 --> 03:05:15.000
He knocks him back and...

03:05:15.000 --> 03:05:20.100
Also tonight is the back, but the next one is Yehu finds a solo on the Faker and doesn't

03:05:20.100 --> 03:05:25.480
Take the church on it, he thought he was dead, but just barely gets out of tower range and stops that last shot from happening.

03:05:25.480 --> 03:05:30.380
This is such a huge win for T1 though. Look at Doran, he gets the push in the wave, he's gonna get a plate.

03:05:30.380 --> 03:05:37.060
Kana TP's away, and that one ultramega fire kick there from Kari, it just completely denies the play,

03:05:37.060 --> 03:05:43.760
pays, flashing on top of Yike, getting inside of the ultimate there, bursting it down.

03:05:43.760 --> 03:05:51.040
just knowing his limits so precisely is what is always so impressive about seeing his fighting.

03:05:51.600 --> 03:05:55.600
Not to mention the fact that this is the Lucian, right? You have to be playing like this right

03:05:55.600 --> 03:06:00.240
on the edge in order to eke out the amount of damage to get value out of this champion.

03:06:00.240 --> 03:06:06.080
Paze has been devastating on this pick before and he is demonstrating that right here at MSI

03:06:06.720 --> 03:06:12.080
feels like one of his best tournaments that he has had. Everyone remembers that 28 kill Callista

03:06:12.080 --> 03:06:17.600
game. This guy is pretty comfortable here as Boussio looking for an angle towards Doran.

03:06:17.600 --> 03:06:21.240
He does get locked down with those tangle bobs. He's kind of looking for an angle, but Doran

03:06:21.240 --> 03:06:26.440
is going to be absolutely fine. Yeah, it's unfortunate because Kanna had a very optimistic

03:06:26.440 --> 03:06:31.000
gnar that he threw the ult over onto the owner, but the owner was already out of there. And

03:06:31.000 --> 03:06:34.880
if he had his ult there, I think he'd do kill Doran. So unfortunately, he won't be able

03:06:34.880 --> 03:06:38.440
to get it now, owner and carry it up here to protect him and look at Paze. No one is

03:06:38.440 --> 03:06:42.120
down there answering pay so he is gonna be able to grab that first tower they're

03:06:42.120 --> 03:06:47.520
already up 2k here and congratulations to owner who has now moved to a third

03:06:47.520 --> 03:06:53.880
all-time on that wins list here and I'm assuming that is international as he

03:06:53.880 --> 03:06:58.600
passes Shao Hu one of the all-time greats from the LPL and Faker, Karya and

03:06:58.600 --> 03:07:04.680
owner so it is three players on T1 that have the most wins at international

03:07:04.680 --> 03:07:06.480
events and then confer in caps.

03:07:06.480 --> 03:07:08.000
It turns out with you as well.

03:07:08.000 --> 03:07:09.200
Four world championships

03:07:09.200 --> 03:07:11.080
than like everyone else combined.

03:07:11.080 --> 03:07:12.560
Yeah. You do play some games

03:07:12.560 --> 03:07:13.720
and win some, too.

03:07:13.720 --> 03:07:15.920
And Faker is like basically 100

03:07:15.920 --> 03:07:17.760
ahead, 98 ahead of Karrion.

03:07:17.760 --> 03:07:19.000
The problem for Karrion is that

03:07:19.000 --> 03:07:20.520
every time he gets a win,

03:07:20.520 --> 03:07:21.280
Faker does too.

03:07:21.280 --> 03:07:23.680
That cap is never closing.

03:07:23.680 --> 03:07:24.920
It's like wanting to get older

03:07:24.920 --> 03:07:26.240
than your older brother.

03:07:26.240 --> 03:07:28.760
Just doesn't ever really work.

03:07:28.760 --> 03:07:29.480
And it's all right.

03:07:29.480 --> 03:07:30.240
Winner is going to be out of

03:07:30.240 --> 03:07:31.040
take down the straight.

03:07:31.040 --> 03:07:32.000
That is going to be the second one

03:07:32.000 --> 03:07:33.440
locked in and it's a Hex Tech

03:07:33.440 --> 03:07:56.440
He's sold this game as well, a scary one for KC to be staring down the barrel off, but they are not going to react to it, they are just going to kill Doran again, that's going to be their plan, as Doran does find a bit of health back with that Q and actually it's taking a while to kill him, kind of will be out of do it, but it does take a little bit of time, 3 and 0 here, like all of the eggs are in the NA basket.

03:07:56.440 --> 03:08:01.600
Absolutely are and it is a good basket to have it is the ultimate comfort champ here for conna

03:08:01.600 --> 03:08:04.240
We'll see if you can get something done in this game

03:08:04.880 --> 03:08:08.680
Buccio just playing towards that lane gets up towards the top side does get the mckill

03:08:08.680 --> 03:08:13.200
But even with the 1.4k gold that he has they are so far behind

03:08:13.440 --> 03:08:16.760
Clis is just gonna be useless this game, you know down over

03:08:16.840 --> 03:08:19.680
2000 gold here at 13 minutes is really really tough

03:08:19.680 --> 03:08:24.060
But you know you gotta say yahoo has been doing pretty darn well

03:08:24.060 --> 03:08:28.580
Yeah, look back to to last game and the advantages he was able to build

03:08:28.580 --> 03:08:33.140
You know this was his performance last game 7 2 and 7 putting out a ton of damage

03:08:33.140 --> 03:08:36.120
You know was glinting in that lane very slightly as well

03:08:36.120 --> 03:08:43.220
And then this time coming back on the any gets a solo kill on the faker and does have that ever so tiny

03:08:43.220 --> 03:08:47.200
Gold advantage, but in a position to maybe be that person to try to punish base

03:08:47.200 --> 03:08:50.980
That's a weird situation here is kind of does take that very deep

03:08:50.980 --> 03:08:54.480
Hextech gate in order to get into the enemy jungle.

03:08:54.480 --> 03:08:58.980
That is going to buy space to try and kill Doran again, is what I'm seeing.

03:08:58.980 --> 03:09:00.980
Yeah, who moving on down here?

03:09:00.980 --> 03:09:03.480
Yeah, there are a lot of plates up and available.

03:09:03.480 --> 03:09:06.480
Doran takes more than half of his health bar from a bear drop.

03:09:06.480 --> 03:09:08.980
And now T1 looking for a fight on the opposite side.

03:09:08.980 --> 03:09:11.480
The Culling just thrown in to Boussio and Kalista.

03:09:11.480 --> 03:09:12.980
Boussio looks to be the target here.

03:09:12.980 --> 03:09:16.980
Because Doran is dead once again, but is the cross map play available for T1?

03:09:16.980 --> 03:09:19.480
And Onus says absolutely it is.

03:09:19.480 --> 03:09:24.380
Fire keep going to connect and Kalis just needs another double tap as a light slinger who will be out of take down the Varus

03:09:24.380 --> 03:09:28.980
So one for one across the map here as Doran moves to zero and four

03:09:29.820 --> 03:09:35.740
But that's a three zero four pays. Yeah pays is the one getting all the gold is so strong

03:09:35.740 --> 03:09:38.060
We're gonna look for Ona though. Yeah, and that will find him

03:09:38.060 --> 03:09:41.340
And it doesn't have a lot of friends in the area and he knows that he's dead

03:09:41.340 --> 03:09:48.620
So weird position for the Jarvan to be it is but usually expecting them all stay around and and the reason they are staying around is guess

03:09:48.620 --> 03:09:50.620
No one is entering top, no one is entering mid.

03:09:50.620 --> 03:09:51.620
So not that bad.

03:09:51.620 --> 03:09:55.620
Because KC committed everyone to overstay on bot side to try to get that.

03:09:55.620 --> 03:09:58.620
But that does mean Faker kills the tower up in top lane.

03:09:58.620 --> 03:10:00.620
Paze gets plates and denies the minions in mid lane.

03:10:00.620 --> 03:10:04.620
So even though they get the kill, it doesn't actually change the gold lead really at all.

03:10:04.620 --> 03:10:07.620
And now Yahoo might just be dead as Paze forces the flash.

03:10:07.620 --> 03:10:11.620
My goodness, the damage out of this two-item Lucian is absurd.

03:10:11.620 --> 03:10:13.620
Quick blade's done.

03:10:13.620 --> 03:10:17.620
And yeah, it's only going to get worse from here as he's going to be building towards his infinity edge.

03:10:17.620 --> 03:10:22.420
the edge. And Doran, unironically, I mean, this is working, going at Doran over and

03:10:22.420 --> 03:10:26.140
over and over, but he's not really worth any gold anymore. And you can see in the coin

03:10:26.140 --> 03:10:32.940
base, gold grind pays very, very far ahead now, nearly 3000 gold ahead of Callis to his

03:10:32.940 --> 03:10:38.900
down 40 CS, down a bunch of kills, down a bunch of blades, down in everything. And you

03:10:38.900 --> 03:10:44.580
know, it's going to be the strong members on KC's job to try to deal with pays. But

03:10:44.580 --> 03:10:48.380
That is always so hard when there's an enchanter behind a gigafed 80 carry, right?

03:10:48.380 --> 03:10:52.180
Because Karrion is going to be there to protect him with the breath of life.

03:10:52.180 --> 03:10:56.980
He has the barrier, he has the cleanse, and he has Dorn and the owner and Faker who are there to basically just...

03:10:56.980 --> 03:10:57.780
You can say.

03:10:57.780 --> 03:11:01.780
Yeah, and Yike taking so much damage, he flashes in to get the knockup on the pace,

03:11:01.780 --> 03:11:05.580
but he gets himself out, he's got the ulti from Karrion to keep him alive.

03:11:05.580 --> 03:11:09.380
As Yike goes in, but Dorn just being that frontline, the knockup's back to his counter,

03:11:09.380 --> 03:11:12.780
turns up, Faker on the flanking angle, is able to take down the jungler.

03:11:12.780 --> 03:11:16.440
as the Pop Blossom only picks up owner and owner doesn't really care about that.

03:11:16.440 --> 03:11:20.680
The dash forward from Paze and they will be at a lockdown that kill on the opposite side though.

03:11:20.680 --> 03:11:24.320
I mean, it is a two for two trade between the two squads.

03:11:24.320 --> 03:11:25.920
Kasey gonna be okay with it, I think.

03:11:25.920 --> 03:11:28.280
Yeah, honestly, I would say they should be really happy with that.

03:11:28.280 --> 03:11:30.480
The fact that he got Flash as well off of Paze.

03:11:30.480 --> 03:11:34.620
Yeah, Buzio dies, but being able to get Flash off of Paze is worth his life.

03:11:34.620 --> 03:11:36.580
That is worth its weight in goal.

03:11:36.580 --> 03:11:39.720
The Zag goes in here, Paze and Karrie kind of flexing on him, but yeah,

03:11:39.720 --> 03:11:44.360
It's there very early. So he's able to push them back carry has to flash out

03:11:44.560 --> 03:11:47.440
Dora and gets rooted up by that chains of corruption and incomes honest

03:11:47.440 --> 03:11:50.520
They're able to burst him down finish him off and look at Buccio on the side

03:11:50.520 --> 03:11:55.200
I don't think Pays really recognized that he was coming until very late had to flash

03:11:55.680 --> 03:11:58.340
After that protobelt play from Buccio

03:11:58.340 --> 03:12:01.680
They barely kill faker before he realm warps out on the side

03:12:01.680 --> 03:12:05.960
But even though it's an even trade of kills even though Pays is still way ahead

03:12:05.960 --> 03:12:11.460
You now have a window in to potentially actually kill pays because he has no barrier no flash

03:12:11.460 --> 03:12:15.280
You have flash on Kana and that is kind of who you are looking at now

03:12:15.280 --> 03:12:19.880
Yeah, you put all of this effort into getting Kana ahead. He has six kills

03:12:19.920 --> 03:12:24.580
He is massive point six K if you can find a flash all cool good flash Ramona

03:12:25.520 --> 03:12:28.160
And that is the alt that you were talking about

03:12:28.440 --> 03:12:34.240
Could have been enough to take down owner and that would have been really good to locking down this dragon

03:12:34.240 --> 03:12:40.860
but still KC with the inside track and Doran, he's got teleport but he is just moving towards that top side getting to make him to

03:12:40.860 --> 03:12:48.060
work on the inner turret potentially and it looks like T1 will sacrifice this Drake and the power of the double dragon for T1 is

03:12:48.460 --> 03:12:52.140
very very strong because now they can use it to get control of this mid lane

03:12:52.180 --> 03:12:56.540
They've also got the Yorick moving towards the top side so a Drake sacrifice

03:12:56.940 --> 03:12:59.660
for so much more on T1 side.

03:12:59.660 --> 03:13:02.080
We're basically two full towers is what they're going to get here

03:13:02.080 --> 03:13:04.160
They're actually looking for a charge on the third one as well

03:13:04.460 --> 03:13:07.100
Paz is going to drive this in which always makes me a little bit nervous

03:13:07.100 --> 03:13:13.020
But he's very young aren't around all they're not able to actually get the charge and Paz is in a very uncomfortable position

03:13:13.020 --> 03:13:16.660
But he's able to dash his way out close to a 4,000 gold lead for just illusion

03:13:17.100 --> 03:13:22.820
That is ridiculous as we're gonna be throwing getting stopped and maybe during dying or at least having a flash

03:13:22.820 --> 03:13:26.420
Yeah, he's gonna be out of flash out of the way goalie wall is is gonna go down

03:13:26.420 --> 03:13:31.740
And so he's going to be able to get himself back so still I mean getting a flash out of the arc going to be fantastic

03:13:31.740 --> 03:13:35.820
But T1 3.5 K the gold advantage and you're looking at the top of your screen

03:13:35.820 --> 03:13:37.820
You're like nine to nine this game is very close

03:13:37.820 --> 03:13:43.940
But at 18 and a half minutes 3.5 K is no small leap especially if you can concentrate at all on

03:13:44.340 --> 03:13:47.500
Who I would say is the world's best teamfighting 80 carry. Yeah

03:13:47.500 --> 03:13:53.780
I'm not a bad place to put all your gold and that's exactly where all of it and more is as far as the lead is concerned

03:13:53.780 --> 03:14:01.540
3.6 is a big one and I do want to also talk about how these compositions are gonna meet up later on and how it works out for

03:14:01.540 --> 03:14:08.920
T1 in their favor because the biggest problem for late game teamfights in my opinion is Calist because he's going to outrange kind of

03:14:08.920 --> 03:14:16.700
everyone. The problem is he is the one that's 0-3. He is the one that's massively in the hole and all of the money is on

03:14:16.700 --> 03:14:21.700
who is just decidedly short-range into a rise and elution.

03:14:21.700 --> 03:14:27.700
They're going to be doing so much damage later on from about the range that Nara wants to be playing in.

03:14:27.700 --> 03:14:32.700
And that's why, I mean, with Clis completely out of the game, it is all about your engaged tools, right?

03:14:32.700 --> 03:14:38.700
It is about flash timbers, it is about flash mega-nar, it is about flash pop blossom,

03:14:38.700 --> 03:14:44.700
and is it about really coordinating on that where everyone goes in and you're hoping to one-shot pay in the very beginning of the fight.

03:14:44.700 --> 03:14:49.700
If you can do that, you can easily win a fight, but that is a very hard thing to do.

03:14:49.700 --> 03:14:53.700
T1 have the run of the map. They are going to be marking you, you know, at all these angles.

03:14:53.700 --> 03:14:58.700
They're going to be warding everything out, and they're going to be playing around, keeping Paze safe here.

03:14:58.700 --> 03:15:01.700
So Paze needs to play well, but we're expecting to do it.

03:15:01.700 --> 03:15:04.700
Well, Boosio finds the pop, well, almost finds the pop, lost him.

03:15:04.700 --> 03:15:07.700
And now the realm warp, just to try and get themselves into the fight.

03:15:07.700 --> 03:15:11.700
That is a brilliant start for KC, though, as Onur is just dead immediately.

03:15:11.700 --> 03:15:15.700
immediately, Faker follows suit and T1 bit off more than they could do the flash gnaw!

03:15:15.700 --> 03:15:18.700
And Dino goes, pays massive shutdown!

03:15:18.700 --> 03:15:22.700
And of course that money goes to the now legendary Kanna!

03:15:22.700 --> 03:15:26.700
Yeah, that's 1k going to go to there, and they're gonna go straight to the Baron,

03:15:26.700 --> 03:15:29.700
and they're gonna get the Baron here for free!

03:15:29.700 --> 03:15:31.700
This is crazy!

03:15:31.700 --> 03:15:34.700
The Realm Warp there was suicidal from Faker.

03:15:34.700 --> 03:15:35.700
It was.

03:15:35.700 --> 03:15:37.700
They take the Realm Warp in, but...

03:15:37.700 --> 03:15:42.100
Yeah, who has all his abilities? You're well-warping into the anti-stun.

03:15:42.100 --> 03:15:45.160
You still have to pay some respect to the damage that they can do.

03:15:45.160 --> 03:15:47.440
Yeah, you had killed them all, but it was just Bustio.

03:15:47.440 --> 03:15:49.900
Everyone else had everything available there.

03:15:49.900 --> 03:15:51.900
And it was Yikes. And Yikes was just going to die.

03:15:51.900 --> 03:15:53.600
Yeah, and Yikes with the Crescent Guard as well.

03:15:53.600 --> 03:15:55.640
They, like, well-warped him, and then immediately,

03:15:55.640 --> 03:15:57.740
they just thrown around like ragdolls,

03:15:57.740 --> 03:15:59.400
and they get even further away,

03:15:59.400 --> 03:16:01.600
even more disconnected from Carrier and Paze.

03:16:01.600 --> 03:16:02.700
Let's have a look at it one more time.

03:16:02.700 --> 03:16:05.240
Has it started off so nicely for T1?

03:16:05.240 --> 03:16:07.100
Yeah, I mean, it was a good play here.

03:16:07.100 --> 03:16:12.000
Booster just locked in to the Cataclysm, tries to flash out late to try to get on Pace, can't do it, and they're like,

03:16:12.000 --> 03:16:12.900
Oh, we win!

03:16:12.900 --> 03:16:21.100
But, Kana arrives, and they are realm-warping into every ability, chains of ruptures up, Crescent Guard is up, Kana is there, Tiberus is available,

03:16:21.100 --> 03:16:24.100
Everything is there, you're not that tanky at this point.

03:16:24.100 --> 03:16:27.900
It's not as though you're going in and you're trying to like instantly zone you as a bait to play,

03:16:27.900 --> 03:16:34.600
they just didn't have the tools to do it, and then Kana comes over, spends that flash, kills off Pace,

03:16:34.600 --> 03:16:41.320
T1 obviously still in a decent spot, but this game is even now and it was a lead.

03:16:41.320 --> 03:16:48.120
And not to mention the fact that this Rebel Baron Powerplay can be used to get themselves a second Hextech Dragon as well.

03:16:48.120 --> 03:16:51.560
And having a look here, this is Casey on that comeback.

03:16:51.560 --> 03:16:57.160
T1 though, when the tempo vibes move against them, that is generally the happiest they become.

03:16:57.160 --> 03:16:59.560
As Faker, what is he doing there?

03:16:59.560 --> 03:17:03.480
Well, he's just clip pushing and they're gonna try to just trade here on the other side.

03:17:03.480 --> 03:17:08.920
Kana versus Paze looks to be a bit of a 1v1 battle, but Kana is there to support.

03:17:08.920 --> 03:17:10.960
As now, yeah, who's going to find Faker as well?

03:17:10.960 --> 03:17:15.120
Kana is just going to be taken down though, and Paze returns the favor!

03:17:15.120 --> 03:17:17.400
And picks up the shut down money himself.

03:17:17.400 --> 03:17:21.000
Faker is going to be able to get himself out of there, brings some minions with him.

03:17:21.000 --> 03:17:23.560
And he might even be able to eat some honey fruit.

03:17:23.560 --> 03:17:25.720
Faker getting out safe there.

03:17:25.720 --> 03:17:29.880
But Kana is so strong, that was very scary for Paze.

03:17:29.880 --> 03:17:33.000
They actually had to spend the barrier and the ult from Kana.

03:17:33.000 --> 03:17:36.000
carry a flash, you realize, hey, this could actually go bad.

03:17:36.000 --> 03:17:38.600
One or two morados come through another hyperbroke,

03:17:38.600 --> 03:17:40.920
and maybe Paze does just get killed there by Kana,

03:17:40.920 --> 03:17:45.400
but T1 do pull it off as they often do in these tight scenarios.

03:17:45.400 --> 03:17:47.680
And now it means they're going to get the dragon off the back

03:17:47.680 --> 03:17:49.360
of this, they're going to move to sole point.

03:17:49.360 --> 03:17:52.760
And it is Hextech's sole, which is just bad news

03:17:52.760 --> 03:17:54.680
if you are a KC fan.

03:17:54.680 --> 03:17:56.200
Doesn't feel very good.

03:17:56.200 --> 03:17:58.000
The good news is that it's not actually

03:17:58.000 --> 03:18:00.960
sole because they were able to deny the last one with some good

03:18:00.960 --> 03:18:02.080
team fighting themselves.

03:18:02.080 --> 03:18:09.400
Only 1,000 gold to lead as Boussio gonna try and get in amongst it here catching anyone trying to defend this top lane push

03:18:09.520 --> 03:18:12.480
That Callist is on no one here in

03:18:12.920 --> 03:18:19.500
At this particular moment that pays once again very used to being the man with the most money on the rift and they certainly do

03:18:19.600 --> 03:18:24.000
Take with that global taunt still there as it has been for so many years

03:18:24.920 --> 03:18:27.720
As long as just presses cataclysm gets himself out of it

03:18:27.720 --> 03:18:31.800
That is going to buy as much space as they can get to try and keep this in a turret alive.

03:18:31.800 --> 03:18:34.320
That was actually pretty critical that Yike had the Krugs there,

03:18:34.320 --> 03:18:37.520
because he was able to dash out of the Cataclysm to the Krugs.

03:18:37.520 --> 03:18:38.720
Had they not been there?

03:18:38.720 --> 03:18:41.960
I think the vision that owner had is he Cataclysm's in by the tower,

03:18:41.960 --> 03:18:43.360
bigger one shots the minions,

03:18:43.360 --> 03:18:46.000
he takes aggro, has to flash out, has to do something.

03:18:46.000 --> 03:18:46.560
Yeah.

03:18:46.560 --> 03:18:48.560
But instead, able to get out of there, no problem.

03:18:48.560 --> 03:18:51.720
I've seen this play before as Pace just goes into melee range with a minion,

03:18:51.720 --> 03:18:56.200
and he's happy to do so, chases him down relentlessly,

03:18:56.200 --> 03:18:58.900
And it's kinda dead yet again!

03:18:59.300 --> 03:19:00.700
And look at bot lane as well.

03:19:01.000 --> 03:19:03.500
Meanwhile, during all of this, Dorian was just pushing.

03:19:03.500 --> 03:19:07.300
Yeah, the 0-5 Yorick having the best time of his life.

03:19:07.400 --> 03:19:11.400
When you're 0-5 and you're down 3k on Yorick, you might not win a 1v1 against NAR,

03:19:11.400 --> 03:19:13.800
but you know who you can win 1v1 against? The tower.

03:19:13.800 --> 03:19:15.100
Yeah, with minions.

03:19:16.500 --> 03:19:18.900
Yes, it's not really 1v1, but he needs his friends,

03:19:19.100 --> 03:19:23.000
and he is going to be able to bring them fakers also doing the same thing towards the top side.

03:19:23.000 --> 03:19:24.000
And we were talking about this.

03:19:24.000 --> 03:19:30.100
131 is definitely a possibility here for T1 and they are showing us that it absolutely is as they moved to

03:19:30.120 --> 03:19:34.760
2000 gold in the lead three and a half minutes until the Hextech soul is available for them

03:19:34.760 --> 03:19:39.960
And this time Pays made it look easy killing off Kanna because his calling was much better than the previous fight

03:19:39.960 --> 03:19:41.160
Yeah, he was point blank

03:19:41.160 --> 03:19:44.000
He got so much calling value and calling just does

03:19:44.760 --> 03:19:49.980
Ridiculous DPS, you know at this stage in the game when you have the IE and now he's working in towards that LDR

03:19:49.980 --> 03:19:54.500
Kana will be paper. There's no one that can tank the calling whatsoever except

03:19:54.500 --> 03:19:57.500
Dyke with Crescent Guard. Like that is that is it. Anyone else is getting hit by

03:19:57.500 --> 03:20:00.980
that thing. You need the Crescent Guard. You need you know timbers be blocked. You

03:20:00.980 --> 03:20:04.780
need Boussier's clone. Something must be blocking this calling or you are going to

03:20:04.780 --> 03:20:10.020
just straight up die. And all you can interrupt it right? Interrupting it

03:20:10.020 --> 03:20:12.900
sounds like a pretty good idea as well but there are no options there. Paul

03:20:12.900 --> 03:20:17.900
Kana in mini NAR form in order to make that one work. So pays level 14 now on

03:20:17.900 --> 03:20:20.340
on their solution, Infinity Edge in hand,

03:20:20.340 --> 03:20:22.260
and now just looking for even more damage

03:20:22.260 --> 03:20:24.380
as Armand Penn gonna come in next.

03:20:24.380 --> 03:20:26.780
Yeah, and I mean, Kalista at least does have three items,

03:20:26.780 --> 03:20:28.060
so that's something working for him.

03:20:28.060 --> 03:20:30.660
You know, he is relevant, he's still way behind the page,

03:20:30.660 --> 03:20:31.500
but when you look at everyone else,

03:20:31.500 --> 03:20:33.260
Thrandom is a real threat, right?

03:20:33.260 --> 03:20:34.780
Yeah. If he gets a hit,

03:20:34.780 --> 03:20:38.340
he will not be weak as Doran does have to run for the hills,

03:20:38.340 --> 03:20:41.100
but Faker also, his row has just popped,

03:20:41.100 --> 03:20:43.900
so he's almost 16, and he almost has the actualizer,

03:20:43.900 --> 03:20:47.500
and we already know that is scary times there.

03:20:47.500 --> 03:20:50.820
The rise concerted the league teams, you know, when you hit that items spike.

03:20:51.380 --> 03:20:55.740
And then all of a sudden you're in a position where as KC, you must kill Paze

03:20:55.740 --> 03:20:57.140
at the start of the fight, you can have a chance.

03:20:57.380 --> 03:21:01.020
But if you full sent every ultimate, every flash, every ability into Paze to do it,

03:21:01.260 --> 03:21:02.420
well, Faker might just wipe you.

03:21:02.540 --> 03:21:07.700
Yeah. And Faker, I mean, thankfully for KC, as far as his teamfights, Faker has

03:21:07.700 --> 03:21:09.980
decided that he wants to play a rat this game.

03:21:11.140 --> 03:21:12.780
He is just toppling.

03:21:13.100 --> 03:21:13.700
That's what he's doing.

03:21:13.700 --> 03:21:14.180
All random bolt tower.

03:21:14.220 --> 03:21:14.500
Yeah.

03:21:14.540 --> 03:21:17.460
All random bolt towers, all toppling is what I was kind of

03:21:17.460 --> 03:21:23.460
thinking. It's not really the version that I'm used to, but I do kind of like it.

03:21:23.460 --> 03:21:27.180
Faker has been playing for a long time, so he knows all of the versions.

03:21:27.180 --> 03:21:30.060
Pays now sitting in the mid lane, and we'll be able to clear out that wave.

03:21:30.060 --> 03:21:34.140
The Baron gonna be up in 17 seconds time, I believe T1 have that one on the mind,

03:21:34.140 --> 03:21:37.460
as they are T1. They always think about Baron. That is the thing.

03:21:37.460 --> 03:21:41.860
And Yike actually is gonna get dashed on by Pays! The Crescent Guard comes in,

03:21:41.860 --> 03:21:46.060
as they look to try and use Ono to peel, and down he will go to the GA!

03:21:46.060 --> 03:21:57.280
Yeah, who is just dead in an instant, you were mentioning the DPS on their calling, and my god, T1 are just gonna mow them down, the 9-4 from the grave.

03:21:57.280 --> 03:21:59.600
That one was a little bit too late for Kana.

03:21:59.600 --> 03:22:00.100
That's it.

03:22:00.100 --> 03:22:04.940
And speaking of too late, it's too late for KC in this series, I think this one's over.

03:22:04.940 --> 03:22:13.060
It's absolutely over a 5-0, Cleen aches 27 minutes in, T1 make no mistake about it.

03:22:13.060 --> 03:22:23.780
10, 1, and 7 on Paze. This Lucian absolutely dominating in this game number 3 and T1 will

03:22:23.780 --> 03:22:29.780
move forward here in the Plains and remain undefeated.

03:22:29.780 --> 03:22:35.140
This T1 bot lane man, they are looking different in Plains.

03:22:35.140 --> 03:22:39.260
And who gets the player of the match, man? Is it Carrier or Paze? That's the hard question.

03:22:39.260 --> 03:22:41.900
Yeah, let's just give it to both of them. Bottom lane.

03:22:41.900 --> 03:22:44.020
Give it to the bottom lane. Desk, what do you think about it?

03:22:46.820 --> 03:22:48.320
Right, they can definitely share it.

03:22:48.320 --> 03:22:50.320
I think that's part of the experience, Goliath is sharing.

03:22:50.320 --> 03:22:51.820
Yeah, yeah.

03:22:51.820 --> 03:22:53.320
It's probably one of the best parts here.

03:22:53.320 --> 03:22:55.320
Which mine is yours. Holy bolly, though.

03:22:55.320 --> 03:22:59.220
Paisus is gliding on them in their last game.

03:22:59.220 --> 03:23:00.560
That was insane.

03:23:00.560 --> 03:23:02.160
Why don't my lutions do that?

03:23:02.160 --> 03:23:05.160
That's because I'm your lution.

03:23:06.660 --> 03:23:10.300
There it is. Again, another dominant performance by T1.

03:23:10.300 --> 03:23:15.180
Difficult to figure out who is going to take it, but your oppo player of the series

03:23:15.980 --> 03:23:20.520
Not Doran is Kariya Kariya is the oppo player of the series

03:23:20.520 --> 03:23:23.500
He did fantastic there in that last one

03:23:23.500 --> 03:23:27.340
But also going back to the bar game being given his best champions

03:23:27.340 --> 03:23:31.260
He delivered on every single moment and he was a terror in the pike game

03:23:31.260 --> 03:23:36.980
It felt like every game was him initiating the action and I do think it was definitely difficult

03:23:36.980 --> 03:23:39.300
It's one of those players of the games where you're like, can we share it?

03:23:39.300 --> 03:23:43.820
Can we have a really cursed Photoshop of both bot laners combined together?

03:23:43.820 --> 03:23:48.700
But no, because I do think a lot of what the early action was, especially in the pike game for me,

03:23:48.700 --> 03:23:50.820
it was him constantly fighting it.

03:23:50.820 --> 03:23:53.940
This flash prediction was just so sick.

03:23:53.940 --> 03:23:59.020
It's going to show up in the eventual highlight reel of his career, I feel like.

03:23:59.020 --> 03:24:02.300
Yeah, I mean he was just styling on them just some phenomenal play on the pike,

03:24:02.300 --> 03:24:05.540
phenomenal play on the bard, Milio playing that supportive role for Paze,

03:24:05.540 --> 03:24:09.380
But I think it is a dimension both these players not much time playing together

03:24:09.380 --> 03:24:14.720
And yet they just seem so rock solid as a duo and so much trust in each other

03:24:14.720 --> 03:24:19.260
A's he will dive forwards knowing he has the backing office support there

03:24:19.620 --> 03:24:24.900
Challenging kind of who is hyper fair to this point. He knows Kerry has his back. Hello

03:24:29.740 --> 03:24:31.740
I think he was saying happy birthday Kobe

03:24:35.540 --> 03:24:39.140
No carry, space in that way, look at that you.

03:24:39.140 --> 03:24:45.620
He's just multitasking as this was the bloodiest 3-0 in international history.

03:24:45.620 --> 03:24:51.300
Foggerwatch, we are at the 11th MSI, 16th year of League, Lolli Sports,

03:24:51.300 --> 03:24:54.740
and we continue to make records, so many kills.

03:24:54.740 --> 03:25:00.580
And again, if you're a KC fan, the opportunity was there, there were opportunities.

03:25:00.580 --> 03:25:03.060
I think there's two aspects for there being the bloodiest series.

03:25:03.060 --> 03:25:06.740
One, KC put up a good fight despite the series score.

03:25:06.740 --> 03:25:08.500
And two, the circus is in town.

03:25:08.500 --> 03:25:10.340
The circus has arrived in Dejan.

03:25:10.340 --> 03:25:12.980
It was on display, and it was very fun to watch.

03:25:12.980 --> 03:25:15.900
I just want to say, I did vote for Paze.

03:25:15.900 --> 03:25:17.820
I'm happy with Kariah also getting it too.

03:25:17.820 --> 03:25:20.460
But look at that Lucian bar at the bottom.

03:25:20.460 --> 03:25:22.340
Holly Bully, he was doing so well.

03:25:22.340 --> 03:25:24.100
That last team fight.

03:25:24.100 --> 03:25:26.020
Straight up shock and awe.

03:25:26.020 --> 03:25:29.020
Like the ulti straight down on Yehu, like the Lucian ulti,

03:25:29.020 --> 03:25:32.300
immediately flashes away from the Niko ultimate.

03:25:32.300 --> 03:25:34.380
He played those moments so perfectly.

03:25:34.380 --> 03:25:35.860
We beat it up the yanking game.

03:25:35.860 --> 03:25:36.360
Yeah.

03:25:36.360 --> 03:25:37.300
You know, all of it.

03:25:37.300 --> 03:25:39.420
That was incredible to see.

03:25:39.420 --> 03:25:41.140
And we're all in danger.

03:25:41.140 --> 03:25:47.460
Wait a second, we're still in there.

03:25:47.460 --> 03:25:48.540
Everyone's still alive.

03:25:48.540 --> 03:25:52.420
And again, the fact that T1 do it in a 3-0 fashion,

03:25:52.420 --> 03:25:55.660
saving strats not only for potentially later

03:25:55.660 --> 03:25:57.860
on in the tournament, but that qualifying playing game,

03:25:57.860 --> 03:26:00.340
they are one best of five series away

03:26:00.340 --> 03:26:03.020
from making it into that main stage.

03:26:03.020 --> 03:26:07.320
And they just look like the best team here.

03:26:07.320 --> 03:26:11.060
I mean, they did go for the play-ins for Worlds last year,

03:26:11.060 --> 03:26:12.100
and they won Worlds.

03:26:12.100 --> 03:26:13.980
That was a short play-ins, but I just

03:26:13.980 --> 03:26:16.300
think right now, with the only being one spot,

03:26:16.300 --> 03:26:17.380
it looks so tough.

03:26:17.380 --> 03:26:18.340
These are the teams.

03:26:18.340 --> 03:26:20.060
The fact they still haven't dropped the game,

03:26:20.060 --> 03:26:22.260
it's messy, but the decisiveness and the team

03:26:22.260 --> 03:26:24.380
fights, it's just so hard to match.

03:26:24.380 --> 03:26:26.980
You know, we've seen even HLE in their series

03:26:26.980 --> 03:26:29.340
and wrote to MSI, had early leads,

03:26:29.340 --> 03:26:33.340
And there was like game where T1 just fought their way back from basically nothing.

03:26:33.340 --> 03:26:37.180
They are a team you cannot disrespect, cannot give a single window to.

03:26:37.180 --> 03:26:41.020
I will say we're not focusing a lot on it because T1 keep winning,

03:26:41.020 --> 03:26:43.260
but top lane maybe we'll focus on that later.

03:26:43.260 --> 03:26:43.900
At some point.

03:26:43.900 --> 03:26:45.100
Right, final thoughts.

03:26:45.100 --> 03:26:48.700
Oh my god, I thought they needed to warm up a little bit in playing.

03:26:48.700 --> 03:26:50.060
I think they're scorching red hot.

03:26:50.060 --> 03:26:50.860
I think they're warming up.

03:26:50.860 --> 03:26:51.820
That's what warming up looks like.

03:26:51.820 --> 03:26:53.980
Yeah, that Bunsen burner started immediately.

03:26:53.980 --> 03:26:54.140
Yeah.

03:26:54.140 --> 03:26:55.580
So that's tough.

03:26:55.580 --> 03:26:58.460
Yeah, going to be pretty difficult for anyone to stop

03:26:58.460 --> 03:27:02.380
then one series away from making it in to the main stage.

03:27:02.380 --> 03:27:05.300
We are seconds away from being joined on stage

03:27:05.300 --> 03:27:07.820
by that oppo player of the series

03:27:07.820 --> 03:27:10.700
in the Verizon Post Game interview.

03:27:10.700 --> 03:27:11.860
We're joining Karyah.

03:27:11.860 --> 03:27:13.020
Let's send it on over now.

03:27:14.020 --> 03:27:17.140
MSI 206 playing stage, 2nd round.

03:27:17.140 --> 03:27:20.500
And it's like 206 playing stage round 2.

03:27:20.500 --> 03:27:22.260
Winners match.

03:27:22.260 --> 03:27:23.420
Team 1 take it.

03:27:23.420 --> 03:27:26.460
Perfect 3-0 victory over Kamen 4.

03:27:26.460 --> 03:27:29.080
and vans to the next round.

03:27:29.080 --> 03:27:31.460
Joining us now is T1's support, Keria.

03:27:31.460 --> 03:27:33.380
Congratulations on the win.

03:27:33.380 --> 03:27:35.140
Thank you very much.

03:27:35.140 --> 03:27:39.660
Since we are in Beijing, I have to ask you this, too.

03:27:39.660 --> 03:27:42.740
Keria, do you like bread?

03:27:42.740 --> 03:27:45.900
I love bread.

03:27:45.900 --> 03:27:49.740
Especially the recent trend that the trend is

03:27:49.740 --> 03:27:54.300
right now is the 3-0, bread, and you were able to bake that up.

03:27:56.460 --> 03:28:02.220
And with yesterday's victory combined, how did the team know that you baked?

03:28:02.220 --> 03:28:05.380
Hey, it was really good. I liked it.

03:28:07.880 --> 03:28:12.220
With this win, you guys moved one more step closer to the practice stage.

03:28:12.220 --> 03:28:14.840
How do you feel after taking down KC?

03:28:16.580 --> 03:28:21.620
KC is one of the strong teams and they have a lot of experience.

03:28:21.620 --> 03:28:26.620
So we were looking forward to the matchup, and I think we were able to have a great game together.

03:28:29.620 --> 03:28:33.620
And then in game two, can't you let your barred through?

03:28:33.620 --> 03:28:35.620
How did it go from your side?

03:28:36.620 --> 03:28:46.620
Honestly, my recent barred plays looked not up to the expectations, so I wish other teams also let it through so that I could part this bar a little more.

03:28:51.620 --> 03:29:02.300
And T1, the game was going back and forth, but the team fight was the key to success.

03:29:02.300 --> 03:29:07.140
How are T1 always able to turn the game around in the team fights?

03:29:07.140 --> 03:29:13.100
We have such a great comp and in the mid to the late game, we all know what to do and

03:29:13.100 --> 03:29:17.420
how to play out the game in order to get the win, so I think it's a combination of all

03:29:17.420 --> 03:29:18.420
that.

03:29:18.420 --> 03:29:26.720
and carry it. This is your fifth MSI. Compared to when you first stepped onto the MSI stage

03:29:26.720 --> 03:29:33.540
in 2022, what do you think has changed the most? Back then, I really wanted to be the

03:29:33.540 --> 03:29:43.300
golden support, but right now, I can say I am the golden support itself. Just one more

03:29:43.300 --> 03:29:52.900
win, you will be heading to the bracket stage. What kind of mindset and ambition will you bring to the next match?

03:29:52.900 --> 03:30:05.400
So far, it was a double elimination format, so I was not too scared, but next one, we have to lock it, you know, one loss and we're out, so we're gonna lock it.

03:30:05.400 --> 03:30:11.900
Thank you very much, Keria, and please give it a one more time for the go to the court itself, Keria. Thank you very much.

03:30:17.400 --> 03:30:25.400
And Ike actually is going to get dashed on by Paze. The Crescent Guard comes in and they look to try and use Ona to appeal and down he will go to the GA.

03:30:25.400 --> 03:30:33.400
Yeah, he was just dead in an instant. You were mentioning the DPS on their calling and my god T1 are just going to move them down.

03:30:33.400 --> 03:30:36.520
The dog to fall from the grave!

03:30:36.520 --> 03:30:40.640
That one was a little bit too late for Kanna, and speaking of too late,

03:30:40.640 --> 03:30:44.240
it's too late for Casey in this series, and I think this one's over.

03:31:04.400 --> 03:31:07.400
The human body was built to move.

03:31:08.400 --> 03:31:13.400
Not trapped at a desk in one singular posture for 12 hours a day.

03:31:15.400 --> 03:31:18.400
It's time your chair evolved.

03:31:18.400 --> 03:31:21.400
This is Secret Lab Titan Evo.

03:31:22.400 --> 03:31:25.400
Ergonomically engineered for use.

03:31:25.400 --> 03:31:26.400
Gamers.

03:31:26.400 --> 03:31:27.400
Hybrid workers.

03:31:27.400 --> 03:31:28.400
Officers.

03:31:29.400 --> 03:31:31.400
Back in your every move.

03:31:33.400 --> 03:31:41.960
Times like this are where star players shine and new legends step up where

03:31:41.960 --> 03:31:47.960
legacies are built and dreams either realized or ripped apart.

03:32:03.400 --> 03:32:08.400
All right, it's your funeral.

03:32:08.400 --> 03:32:11.400
Thanks, kid.

03:32:11.400 --> 03:32:14.400
Your bear's got better instincts than most parents.

03:32:20.400 --> 03:32:22.400
This is salvation.

03:32:27.400 --> 03:32:31.400
A moment of silence for the recently departed.

03:32:33.400 --> 03:32:40.400
Welcome to Argyne, now live in Shanghai, it's your time to step into the real Argyne world.

03:32:41.400 --> 03:32:46.400
This is absolutely the wildest Argyne carnival you will ever experience.

03:32:46.400 --> 03:32:51.400
Follow at ImmersiveArgyne on X for the latest show update.

03:33:33.400 --> 03:33:35.800
One, two, three, four, seven, eight, nine, ten

03:33:35.800 --> 03:33:38.200
You're a low-flow, the world is at risk

03:33:38.200 --> 03:33:41.000
When the big dogs, they don't even have a chance

03:33:41.000 --> 03:33:43.600
Hey, hey, hey, look at my lay back

03:33:43.600 --> 03:33:46.000
It's not over until it's over

03:33:46.000 --> 03:33:48.000
That's not gonna be great

03:33:48.000 --> 03:33:51.000
It's a life that's easy, just talk about it

03:33:51.000 --> 03:33:52.800
Hey, that's not too awesome

03:33:52.800 --> 03:33:54.800
I don't want to let you go, I don't want to let you go

03:33:54.800 --> 03:33:56.200
I don't want to let you go

03:33:56.200 --> 03:33:58.400
The slow rate that's changed from one to the other

03:33:58.400 --> 03:34:01.200
I want you to listen to me, let's go

03:34:31.200 --> 03:34:34.200
Hit the bass drum again, the atmosphere is right

03:34:34.200 --> 03:34:36.200
One, two, three, we're fighting and fighting

03:34:36.200 --> 03:34:39.200
Tonight we're one take, we can't turn back

03:34:39.200 --> 03:34:41.200
We got no time for hesitation

03:34:41.200 --> 03:34:44.200
Then now take that rough feel

03:34:44.200 --> 03:34:46.200
Feel like living in the magic

03:34:46.200 --> 03:34:49.200
The reality is that I'm dancing with a lot of fun

03:34:49.200 --> 03:34:51.200
Let's go to the champagne, let's get funky

03:34:51.200 --> 03:34:54.200
Hey, you're so hot, you're gonna die of breath

03:34:54.200 --> 03:34:56.200
You're the only thing you can do

03:34:56.200 --> 03:34:59.200
You can't change, you're your own move

03:35:59.200 --> 03:36:06.120
And yes, we're getting the signature moment, but this might be one of the last moments for one of these squads as Loser will go home

03:36:06.120 --> 03:36:11.560
It is team liquid alien wear versus Relove deep cross gaming. How you doing Kobe? My palms are sweaty

03:36:12.640 --> 03:36:15.200
You know what? I'm steady. I'm calm

03:36:17.080 --> 03:36:21.960
Out of them no doubt in my heart no doubt in my head either. I'm also calm you calm

03:36:22.840 --> 03:36:25.480
I'm a little nervous here for Relove deep

03:36:29.200 --> 03:36:34.200
I'm nervous for them because I feel like Ana is coming in as favorites, but we'll see what happens here.

03:36:34.200 --> 03:36:37.200
You notice I said them though, he's distancing himself from us already!

03:36:37.200 --> 03:36:42.200
Free love deep cross gaming, roster here, Florin, Pop9, Hongxuo, Feng and Shaoxi.

03:36:42.200 --> 03:36:46.200
They did not have a great start to their MSI debut here.

03:36:46.200 --> 03:36:48.200
Yes, they did too.

03:36:48.200 --> 03:36:49.200
And game two was super rough.

03:36:49.200 --> 03:36:54.200
And I think today, even though a lot of people favoring Team Liquid, getting a game,

03:36:54.200 --> 03:36:58.200
it's so rough to go to a tournament and immediately lose your series and go out.

03:36:58.200 --> 03:37:00.200
Not to win a game though, that feels so.

03:37:00.200 --> 03:37:02.200
So, just a strong start is what I'm hoping for.

03:37:02.200 --> 03:37:05.200
A lot of questions gotta be coming in from the LCP community

03:37:05.200 --> 03:37:07.200
because it's like, they're just not playing themselves.

03:37:07.200 --> 03:37:13.200
Yes, game 2 looks heinous, but just in general, playing incredibly slow, game 1!

03:37:13.200 --> 03:37:17.200
So I feel like the international inexperience is like a big part of this.

03:37:17.200 --> 03:37:21.200
Yeah, well speaking of international experience, Team Liquid's head coach has a lot of it,

03:37:21.200 --> 03:37:25.200
and we got a behind the scenes look at some of their conversations after two games.

03:37:25.200 --> 03:37:26.200
Let's take a look.

03:37:26.200 --> 03:37:27.200
And he's old.

03:37:28.200 --> 03:37:29.700
Just f***ing enjoy the game, mate.

03:37:29.700 --> 03:37:31.700
If we lose to team 1, we lose to team 1.

03:37:31.700 --> 03:37:33.700
We should not be on nervous playing against this deck.

03:37:33.700 --> 03:37:35.700
Do you know who should be on nervous?

03:37:35.700 --> 03:37:37.700
They should be on nervous.

03:37:41.700 --> 03:37:42.700
I hope you all look just like us.

03:37:42.700 --> 03:37:43.700
Me?

03:37:43.700 --> 03:37:44.700
That's nice of you.

03:37:44.700 --> 03:37:46.700
You play so well.

03:37:46.700 --> 03:37:48.200
Just be confident in each other.

03:37:48.200 --> 03:37:49.700
Get ready and drive.

03:37:49.700 --> 03:37:50.700
Be confident in each other.

03:37:50.700 --> 03:37:52.700
Play with enjoyment, please.

03:37:52.700 --> 03:38:15.980
So I do want to defend spawn a bit because I saw some criticism for this, but this was

03:38:15.980 --> 03:38:18.260
released after game number two.

03:38:18.260 --> 03:38:22.940
He's very clearly trying to keep the mentality for the team, focus on these games, keep them

03:38:22.940 --> 03:38:23.940
from spiraling.

03:38:23.940 --> 03:38:27.940
You're playing against the world champions, you've made some clear mistakes in the previous

03:38:27.940 --> 03:38:31.780
game, so he's trying to focus them up for game number three.

03:38:31.780 --> 03:38:35.980
And the key thing, I think, is he kept mentioning trust in your teammates, that is something

03:38:35.980 --> 03:38:40.380
you cannot lose at an international tournament, especially a double elimination.

03:38:40.380 --> 03:38:44.660
So I thought it was actually good work trying to like steady and focus the team, still focused

03:38:44.660 --> 03:38:45.660
on getting the wins.

03:38:45.660 --> 03:38:47.860
I think it's always tough when you're away from home.

03:38:47.860 --> 03:38:50.140
You've got the big crowd against you here.

03:38:50.140 --> 03:38:52.460
And then you just don't get to execute at the level

03:38:52.460 --> 03:38:53.740
that you want to.

03:38:53.740 --> 03:38:55.740
Even though you're going up against the World Champs

03:38:55.740 --> 03:38:59.260
in T1, we're in favor, still, to have a performance like that

03:38:59.260 --> 03:38:59.740
is tough.

03:38:59.740 --> 03:39:02.700
And I think if Coach Spahn is having a conversation like that,

03:39:02.700 --> 03:39:04.380
it can be dangerous for the squad

03:39:04.380 --> 03:39:05.500
if they don't bounce back.

03:39:05.500 --> 03:39:06.740
However, there were conversations

03:39:06.740 --> 03:39:08.300
had earlier at the hotel.

03:39:08.300 --> 03:39:10.020
The team is all on the same page,

03:39:10.020 --> 03:39:11.620
and they're going to be ready to go here

03:39:11.620 --> 03:39:14.620
against their big opponents and really love deep cross gaming.

03:39:14.620 --> 03:39:18.340
It's Team Liquid Alienware versus Reloved Deep Cross Gaming.

03:39:18.340 --> 03:39:19.840
Let's get into game number one.

03:39:28.580 --> 03:39:29.980
Welcome back to the candidates.

03:39:29.980 --> 03:39:33.340
We get ready for this series, Team Liquid Alienware

03:39:33.340 --> 03:39:35.100
versus Reloved Deep Cross Gaming.

03:39:35.100 --> 03:39:37.500
Team Liquid Alienware, the first to take to the stage.

03:39:37.500 --> 03:39:40.300
It was a rough day yesterday, but optimism,

03:39:40.300 --> 03:39:41.620
I think, in the Team Liquid camp,

03:39:41.620 --> 03:39:43.460
about what we're going to see today,

03:39:43.460 --> 03:39:47.500
hoping for a big uptick in performance.

03:39:47.500 --> 03:39:50.780
And I think of the upside as well for Relove DCG

03:39:50.780 --> 03:39:52.100
and kind of in the same boat, like this

03:39:52.100 --> 03:39:54.340
was a team that came in with a lot of hopes, obviously

03:39:54.340 --> 03:39:56.900
only just getting promoted to the LCP this year.

03:39:56.900 --> 03:39:59.740
And they haven't quite been able to show

03:39:59.740 --> 03:40:01.100
what they were capable of domestically

03:40:01.100 --> 03:40:02.580
in the international stage yesterday.

03:40:02.580 --> 03:40:05.780
So I'm hoping that some of those nerves got out yesterday,

03:40:05.780 --> 03:40:07.340
because that's what some of that felt like.

03:40:07.340 --> 03:40:09.380
And we can see them kind of have that performance

03:40:09.380 --> 03:40:11.140
that they're known for domestically.

03:40:11.140 --> 03:40:14.700
And I'm hoping we see a lot of the same explosive kind of math play.

03:40:14.700 --> 03:40:16.980
We see some of the dominant Lee Sin performances.

03:40:16.980 --> 03:40:20.300
Pop-Dyne, very quickly earning my respect in that first game.

03:40:20.300 --> 03:40:23.300
The second and third game, obviously, is significantly harder.

03:40:23.300 --> 03:40:26.060
But there's a lot to be optimistic about, I think, for both sides.

03:40:26.060 --> 03:40:28.980
Despite the fact that neither of them were able to find a win,

03:40:28.980 --> 03:40:31.980
both had really good moments across those series.

03:40:31.980 --> 03:40:34.620
It needs to see who can kind of show more of that form today.

03:40:34.620 --> 03:40:37.820
Yeah, and I think, like, we kind of got to see glimpses of what

03:40:37.820 --> 03:40:43.180
are capable of in that game one where, you know, playing through one, three, one, catching

03:40:43.180 --> 03:40:46.740
people in that mid lane, really playing for these overloads. I think is how we'll probably

03:40:46.740 --> 03:40:51.900
see them trying to just here coming into today. Whereas for a team liquid, I mean, the bot

03:40:51.900 --> 03:40:55.620
lane was a little unfortunate for them, but I expect like with the performance Jose Dioto

03:40:55.620 --> 03:41:00.300
had and like Morgan, who is actually clapping during the top lane, like I'm looking forward

03:41:00.300 --> 03:41:01.300
to seeing what he's capable of today.

03:41:01.300 --> 03:41:04.860
Yeah. Before I just want to see that level up. I want a little bit more of a tight top

03:41:04.860 --> 03:41:09.660
But it's also just hard to say what kind of the meta is going to look like what performance

03:41:09.660 --> 03:41:13.500
is going to look like after day one, especially for a team like DCG, when you think about

03:41:13.500 --> 03:41:18.180
any team kind of first big international debut, I think that first series is never going to

03:41:18.180 --> 03:41:20.300
be your best series.

03:41:20.300 --> 03:41:24.100
So want to see how much of this is just nerves, how much of this is going to kind of settle

03:41:24.100 --> 03:41:25.100
out today.

03:41:25.100 --> 03:41:29.380
Because I think the expectation for at least TL fans, if not for TL themselves is that

03:41:29.380 --> 03:41:34.620
this should be a really clear opportunity for a clean sweep to show a higher level performance

03:41:34.620 --> 03:41:39.060
reminder, the winner here goes up against KC tomorrow to see who will get the rematch

03:41:39.060 --> 03:41:44.980
for that single slot into the MSI main stage. Loser is eliminated. So high stakes across

03:41:44.980 --> 03:41:49.300
the board. Both teams really want to show what they're made of as we enter. It's fans.

03:41:49.300 --> 03:41:53.300
Nala is going to be taken off the board. Nafiri poppy, a lot of jungle focus coming in from

03:41:53.300 --> 03:41:58.180
the side of DCG trying to limit Jose Diodo. I think it's a well earned respect. You played

03:41:58.180 --> 03:42:01.780
absolutely fantastically yesterday and as well as being kind of their powerhouse jungle

03:42:01.780 --> 03:42:05.900
in their domestic split too, and able to focus on him, I think is going to be a good call

03:42:05.900 --> 03:42:06.900
for DCG.

03:42:06.900 --> 03:42:08.420
You know, the pop line still wants to go for as well.

03:42:08.420 --> 03:42:11.780
The bio is going to say, but at least in Rek'Sai, these kind of picks.

03:42:11.780 --> 03:42:15.800
So if you can try and remove things like the poppy, it definitely makes those picks stand

03:42:15.800 --> 03:42:16.800
out that good.

03:42:16.800 --> 03:42:17.800
Yeah.

03:42:17.800 --> 03:42:20.780
And I think DCG often at their best when they have these very straightforward and gauge

03:42:20.780 --> 03:42:23.540
tools, these champions that kind of rally everyone together, right?

03:42:23.540 --> 03:42:25.460
When five pushes all, everyone can follow up.

03:42:25.460 --> 03:42:26.900
It's such a clear indicator.

03:42:26.900 --> 03:42:30.100
You're not playing this space and game with something like a karma support.

03:42:30.100 --> 03:42:32.020
You really want those reliable go buttons.

03:42:32.020 --> 03:42:34.780
And that is currently what TL are trying to take away.

03:42:34.780 --> 03:42:36.460
Triple jungle ban, though.

03:42:36.460 --> 03:42:40.100
Leeson, five jungle bans in the first phase.

03:42:40.100 --> 03:42:41.300
We're getting deeper to the pools.

03:42:41.300 --> 03:42:42.820
And look, we saw Keanu early.

03:42:42.820 --> 03:42:45.220
We've seen multiple different champions buffed on this patch

03:42:45.220 --> 03:42:46.740
in terms of what they can do in the jungle.

03:42:46.740 --> 03:42:48.820
Jarvan going to be the immediate pickup.

03:42:48.820 --> 03:42:52.340
This was a bit of a tragic one for Pop9 in that game, too.

03:42:52.340 --> 03:42:54.220
I think he is looking for a bit of redemption.

03:42:54.220 --> 03:42:56.540
There were some really rough moments around that dragon,

03:42:56.540 --> 03:42:58.780
especially where Buccio just walked up and stole it.

03:42:58.780 --> 03:43:01.300
I have a feeling today we're going to see a lot more from it.

03:43:01.300 --> 03:43:03.620
I'm curious now how, team, if we want to try and respond,

03:43:03.620 --> 03:43:05.620
looks like they're just going to try and focus on bot lane,

03:43:05.620 --> 03:43:06.620
especially with the Nautilus gone,

03:43:06.620 --> 03:43:09.740
but going back towards the Bard who can roam so effectively

03:43:09.740 --> 03:43:11.700
and impact the map, I think is a good call,

03:43:11.700 --> 03:43:13.900
because we know the reel of DCG would like to get active

03:43:13.900 --> 03:43:15.060
in the early stages of the game,

03:43:15.060 --> 03:43:17.900
so if you could try and match some of those plays with the Bard,

03:43:17.900 --> 03:43:18.900
it could work out well.

03:43:18.900 --> 03:43:21.060
And the Zinzeo, kind of the other clear-cut jungler

03:43:21.060 --> 03:43:23.940
with so many of those bans going the way that you're doing.

03:43:23.940 --> 03:43:25.460
Yeah, I mean, no surprise,

03:43:25.460 --> 03:43:27.060
Zozin Gio has most played domestically,

03:43:27.060 --> 03:43:28.380
one of the premieres in the locker,

03:43:28.380 --> 03:43:31.300
really has been for the entire split.

03:43:31.300 --> 03:43:33.140
Always a debate here for DCG,

03:43:33.140 --> 03:43:34.540
but between the barge, you know,

03:43:34.540 --> 03:43:36.420
immediately kind of makes the option

03:43:36.420 --> 03:43:38.460
of immobile champions like a Rumble

03:43:38.460 --> 03:43:39.660
a little bit less appealing,

03:43:39.660 --> 03:43:41.620
the threat of getting tempered as we saw

03:43:41.620 --> 03:43:43.700
when Teria played it in our last series,

03:43:43.700 --> 03:43:45.580
really can make those immobile champions a little bit weaker,

03:43:45.580 --> 03:43:47.660
but we talked about the hotpot, Rob.

03:43:47.660 --> 03:43:51.580
You as an LPL caster, you know this combo better than anybody.

03:43:51.580 --> 03:43:54.580
The Rumble and Jarvan together is a terrifying duo.

03:43:54.580 --> 03:44:00.100
It's very strong, especially giving track trying to play towards that top lane and lends some focus towards flooring

03:44:00.100 --> 03:44:03.740
But I was gonna say I feel like with the Bard as well coming back to your point the

03:44:04.180 --> 03:44:08.100
Champions that you want to take here are gonna be a little difficult for DCG to go with the Cassiopeia

03:44:08.100 --> 03:44:13.500
I imagine we're gonna get a Caitlyn here for team liquid and then the traditional answer to it is something like the ash

03:44:13.900 --> 03:44:16.560
Seraphine that we've seen like in fact Caitlyn Bard a lot of the times

03:44:16.700 --> 03:44:23.220
But now you've got two right kind of a mobile champions that can easily be set up for picks on there with the Bard

03:44:23.220 --> 03:44:28.020
So I'll see if that's going to be the call is actually the colleague going to be locked in here early into the castle

03:44:28.020 --> 03:44:30.500
Opium and for quit. This is absolute comfort, right?

03:44:30.500 --> 03:44:34.300
We know how incredibly good she can be on this pick of course against the Casio

03:44:34.300 --> 03:44:37.180
It can be really tricky the crowd gets you a lot of space

03:44:37.180 --> 03:44:42.340
But Casio just such an oppressive laner if she ever catches you out crocs that boys in the twin banks are coming in

03:44:42.340 --> 03:44:48.380
It's difficult, but I think TL very quickly recognizing they don't want to give away any more easy engage options

03:44:48.380 --> 03:44:52.380
So Camille taking away Shao say they've had his best game on that Camille and generally Camille

03:44:52.380 --> 03:44:55.020
just looking like a meta powerhouse in the bot lane.

03:44:55.020 --> 03:44:57.900
Yeah, well, I'm actually surprised by the Ezreal ban on the opposite side

03:44:57.900 --> 03:45:01.580
because I expected that rail of DCG would go towards, you know, a Caitlyn ban,

03:45:01.580 --> 03:45:04.500
try and get rid of some of these, like, hyper-aggressive bot laners

03:45:04.500 --> 03:45:07.820
if they want to just push the lane, and then you walked in towards the Ezreal yourself

03:45:07.820 --> 03:45:10.220
and they can have some sort of control over that bottom side

03:45:10.220 --> 03:45:15.300
and still keep that mobility, but instead, maybe fishing for something like a Zyra, a Kahn instead.

03:45:15.300 --> 03:45:17.140
But I imagine the Caitlyn will be the ban.

03:45:17.140 --> 03:45:19.420
And I think when you look at the way that TL is banning,

03:45:19.420 --> 03:45:22.420
it is so centered on comfort for DCG.

03:45:22.420 --> 03:45:24.540
I think they feel like, hey, we're the better team.

03:45:24.540 --> 03:45:27.340
And when push comes to shove, if we are playing meta,

03:45:27.340 --> 03:45:28.660
or we are playing conventional picks,

03:45:28.660 --> 03:45:30.220
and you're not on your signature picks,

03:45:30.220 --> 03:45:32.620
the picks that we saw yesterday,

03:45:32.620 --> 03:45:36.620
it just doesn't seem to feel like they think that DCG can keep.

03:45:36.620 --> 03:45:38.780
Still going to have to see that level of execution

03:45:38.780 --> 03:45:41.700
that TL is here.

03:45:41.700 --> 03:45:42.420
Absolutely.

03:45:42.420 --> 03:45:43.420
I don't.

03:45:43.420 --> 03:45:44.460
No, no, no, no.

03:45:44.460 --> 03:45:46.620
I mean, he saw it from Morgan yesterday into the narrow play.

03:45:46.620 --> 03:45:47.720
That was more of a counterpick.

03:45:47.720 --> 03:45:51.580
So, but we more can go back towards more what he played in the regular season and playoffs, right?

03:45:51.580 --> 03:45:54.320
It was about putting him onto that tank duty yesterday.

03:45:54.320 --> 03:45:58.020
We got to see him kind of pop off in the carries, which we haven't seen from him in a while.

03:45:58.020 --> 03:46:01.320
Plus just going back towards more standard here in this.

03:46:01.520 --> 03:46:04.120
It's true against Doran, the carries against floor and the tanks, you know,

03:46:05.120 --> 03:46:07.120
someone you can bully and like easily like Doran.

03:46:07.120 --> 03:46:07.920
You got to watch that.

03:46:10.520 --> 03:46:12.020
Can't even finish it with a straight face.

03:46:12.020 --> 03:46:13.320
You see the KC series?

03:46:13.320 --> 03:46:16.420
I can't be talking any smack about anybody on that T1 lineup.

03:46:16.620 --> 03:46:19.260
The debate here though from the side of DCG, Vong.

03:46:19.260 --> 03:46:20.460
This is what it's going to be.

03:46:20.460 --> 03:46:22.340
So, Rakan, another pro-activated gage champion.

03:46:22.340 --> 03:46:26.540
This is what we know Shaoxi for right across all of the years of Shaoxi,

03:46:26.540 --> 03:46:28.140
whether it's on this roster or any other.

03:46:28.140 --> 03:46:30.900
He has been the big engaged player in Rakan.

03:46:30.900 --> 03:46:35.260
Maybe not as explosive early as something like Camille or Pike

03:46:35.260 --> 03:46:36.500
doesn't have that solo kill pressure,

03:46:36.500 --> 03:46:38.140
but certainly still has a lot of play-making potential.

03:46:38.140 --> 03:46:41.100
Yeah, and I imagine it will be desire because that was kind of what we were saying.

03:46:41.100 --> 03:46:42.460
Like, if you're going to go this style,

03:46:42.460 --> 03:46:46.180
you want to have some sort of ability to deny the barred,

03:46:46.180 --> 03:46:51.100
push. Maybe not going to be the case. I don't know if I love this, though. I think they're

03:46:51.100 --> 03:46:54.340
biggest worries because they've hoping for the bell from Team Liquid earlier on and that's

03:46:54.340 --> 03:46:57.820
just not going to be a good time if you're this high into that bell. So maybe just try

03:46:57.820 --> 03:47:00.060
to play a little bit more scapegoat around that.

03:47:00.060 --> 03:47:05.060
Yeah. And I think when you see the jargon to rumble in the gym together, this is a trio.

03:47:05.060 --> 03:47:08.300
You know, often we see pair with Leone, not a Casio, that we know could just be this really

03:47:08.300 --> 03:47:12.900
long range dive threat. Jin always able to help set up and support with additional CC.

03:47:12.900 --> 03:47:17.900
But at the same time, you know, not the, not maybe a Kaisa that's going to dive in with

03:47:17.900 --> 03:47:19.500
these champions or follow this for Khan.

03:47:19.500 --> 03:47:21.980
It's a little bit dissonant in terms of what some of these picks are doing.

03:47:21.980 --> 03:47:25.660
It's also just very hard to set up as the chin in this because you're into an order,

03:47:25.660 --> 03:47:28.900
you're into the barred, both long range and ultimates that can kind of slide you down

03:47:28.900 --> 03:47:30.620
if you ever open up early with the curtain call.

03:47:30.620 --> 03:47:35.060
So it does become a little more difficult for Fong to have last in the team fights.

03:47:35.060 --> 03:47:39.180
And I mean, for team Liquid, you can see they kind of just set up for a very strong

03:47:39.180 --> 03:47:42.820
front to back with this Akali playing for Flank and when you look at across the

03:47:42.820 --> 03:47:47.060
lead of DCG a lot of that is dive with the follow-up from the Cassiopeia and the

03:47:47.060 --> 03:47:50.540
James so if that could be disrupted by some of those big ultimates like the

03:47:50.540 --> 03:47:52.860
Bard and the Ornn I think Team Liquid have a good shot here.

03:47:52.860 --> 03:47:56.740
And really surprised to see Varus go to sleep but it is just a new patch and a new meta

03:47:56.740 --> 03:47:59.540
champion that's not getting quite as much attention as the dip in any of the

03:47:59.540 --> 03:48:05.220
domestic playoffs but really PL set up with a pretty dominant 2v2 bottom lane.

03:48:05.220 --> 03:48:24.220
want to see that uptick in performance from Jan especially today. See if you can kind of level up not to what we saw domestically domestic was also a struggle right but when we think about Jan for the last three years as opposed to just this year was this really standout player on an otherwise struggling teal line up rebuild the roster around him this year but it's the

03:48:24.220 --> 03:48:28.060
off that has been shining. Well, he hasn't had that same shimmer, that same spark. And

03:48:28.060 --> 03:48:32.220
I think this match of today is a good good chance for him to really to bounce back to

03:48:32.220 --> 03:48:37.420
show how dominant he can be. Because it was his lane partner that I was incredibly impressed

03:48:37.420 --> 03:48:42.140
with yesterday. I think Core JJ and the Nautilus looks fantastic working really well at Jose

03:48:42.140 --> 03:48:47.180
Dioto. And even though they did end up losing 3-0 to T1, I think there was real moments where

03:48:47.180 --> 03:48:51.020
that jungle support shine. So I really want to keep my eyes on these two today, especially

03:48:51.020 --> 03:48:53.580
with the barred being able to roam and support Jose Dioto,

03:48:53.580 --> 03:48:55.220
how do they try and influence the game?

03:48:55.220 --> 03:48:57.860
Because against T1, they had this invade game one

03:48:57.860 --> 03:49:00.340
where they tried to split the map and play through a strong side.

03:49:00.340 --> 03:49:02.340
But I don't know if that'll be the call here.

03:49:05.420 --> 03:49:06.980
I think the thing that we have to accept,

03:49:06.980 --> 03:49:10.860
anytime we load into a game of League of Legends,

03:49:10.860 --> 03:49:12.260
if we love deep cross gaming,

03:49:12.260 --> 03:49:15.420
is that fighting could happen at any moment.

03:49:15.420 --> 03:49:17.740
Yeah. And frankly, I'm here for it and I love it.

03:49:17.740 --> 03:49:19.340
But I wonder if some of this aggression

03:49:19.340 --> 03:49:20.660
will be tempered today.

03:49:22.140 --> 03:49:24.740
Actually surprised to see on is often in towards a lethality

03:49:24.740 --> 03:49:29.300
farce because this was good on the patch like they took a

03:49:29.300 --> 03:49:32.420
ton of damage out of a lot of his abilities. So I'm kind of

03:49:32.420 --> 03:49:34.660
surprised to see that they're still opting towards this as

03:49:34.700 --> 03:49:35.260
Chelsea.

03:49:35.700 --> 03:49:38.780
See, nice initial gauge cord, big chunk coming out there. Yeah,

03:49:38.780 --> 03:49:41.460
forest, the biggest change not in the base damage, but in the

03:49:41.460 --> 03:49:46.300
bonus ad scaling, I think 30% taken off a full charge Q at all

03:49:46.300 --> 03:49:48.500
ranks, right? So early on, it's not going to be as important,

03:49:48.500 --> 03:49:52.180
But as you start to stack those without the items, you're gonna be missing big chunks of damage

03:49:53.260 --> 03:49:56.780
Boris though, I think with without you build very similar role

03:49:56.780 --> 03:50:00.140
He fills in the team like the gym the pope you kind of get some of this setup

03:50:00.820 --> 03:50:05.380
I'm keep my eyes on over the auto here though because he's gone for a free camp towards bot lane clear

03:50:05.380 --> 03:50:08.500
So we're learning if he wants to try and make some sort of play on towards the bottom lane

03:50:08.500 --> 03:50:13.320
Otherwise, it'd be just reset and look for an early longsword, but could definitely try and make something happen here

03:50:13.320 --> 03:50:19.320
We're now though, a relatively calm early game.

03:50:19.320 --> 03:50:25.320
Top lane, don't expect a whole lot here, but Morgan is able to find or continue to build.

03:50:25.320 --> 03:50:30.320
What is a very slight CES edge, getting some early MR can make a big difference, especially

03:50:30.320 --> 03:50:35.320
when the enemy is trying to farm you for money with that first strike.

03:50:35.320 --> 03:50:40.320
Lauren determined to be making bank here, what should eventually be a pretty rumble-favored matchup.

03:50:40.320 --> 03:50:54.320
some people start to swap over to the death fire touch even in these matchups against tanks but personally I just think you end up with so much gold off of the first strike. It kind of just becomes insane later on like you hit all your two items like so early. So not surprised.

03:50:54.320 --> 03:50:56.960
So not surprised, flowing up and in towards that.

03:50:56.960 --> 03:51:01.560
As you say, I think a lot of their teamfight is going to rely on things like this hotpot

03:51:01.560 --> 03:51:06.400
combo but also the miasma from Hongsuo to try and keep people locked in that and make

03:51:06.400 --> 03:51:08.880
sure that they just can't flash away.

03:51:08.880 --> 03:51:13.160
Yon, you said to just come through for the core, pop down on the way and quick flashback

03:51:13.160 --> 03:51:15.400
from Yon, nice reactions there.

03:51:15.400 --> 03:51:20.000
But that is flash for flash, Trayda Chausi giving up his for Yon so it's still a very

03:51:20.000 --> 03:51:21.920
good deal for the side of DCG.

03:51:21.920 --> 03:51:25.840
I'm curious how Jose de Oda responds to this, because if you hit tab and you see the pop

03:51:25.840 --> 03:51:28.920
nine is only, well, or even just see that he didn't take his blue buff, you know, he's

03:51:28.920 --> 03:51:32.240
probably gone for crab and blue buff, which gives you a little bit of time here to try

03:51:32.240 --> 03:51:33.240
and play with.

03:51:33.240 --> 03:51:37.160
So he's going to go for crab, but maybe try and look for a camp on Respawn as they come

03:51:37.160 --> 03:51:41.840
through, or maybe try and make a play towards this top side.

03:51:41.840 --> 03:51:45.840
Orc and testing a bit of the vision here, cause refining will connect, knock up there,

03:51:45.840 --> 03:51:52.100
Funken fire back, a little bit of chip damage, but DCG really got what they came for.

03:51:53.220 --> 03:51:56.220
Thought we'd even say as they start to move up to make sure that that crab

03:51:57.460 --> 03:52:01.740
isn't going to be taken away by Hose-Dioto, but a very aggressive TP in.

03:52:01.740 --> 03:52:04.300
However, all of DCG are in the area, so...

03:52:04.660 --> 03:52:07.980
So, is going to take a decent chunk of damage after TPing in? Definitely not ideal,

03:52:07.980 --> 03:52:11.100
but now Hose-Dioto has to decide, can he actually contest these Raptors

03:52:11.100 --> 03:52:16.300
with all of DCG just so committed to lighting up the bottom half of the map.

03:52:16.300 --> 03:52:18.500
Yeah, it is kind of a bit of a trade though.

03:52:18.500 --> 03:52:22.800
Like, DCG are playing heavily for Pop9 here, but it does mean Fung very late on this.

03:52:22.800 --> 03:52:26.000
He's probably finding Fung, but going over the wall is Shurikenflip, he's going to connect.

03:52:26.000 --> 03:52:27.800
Both of you are relatively low, quick flashback out.

03:52:27.800 --> 03:52:30.500
Showshin wants to get a little bit more flash forward, wonk so already finds the mark.

03:52:30.500 --> 03:52:31.900
The extra movement speed is there, but who's with you?

03:52:31.900 --> 03:52:35.400
Just not the edge, just barely able to walk away blinking, ticking out by the poison!

03:52:35.400 --> 03:52:36.400
Gets it done!

03:52:36.400 --> 03:52:38.100
It's first blood for DCG.

03:52:38.100 --> 03:52:43.300
DCG make it happen. Everyone had moved in to try and make that play in there, Florent.

03:52:43.860 --> 03:52:47.860
Morgan forcing that flash there. And also now they're pinging on towards Yon.

03:52:47.860 --> 03:52:49.940
He's a little overextending to that bot lane. He still has no flash.

03:52:51.300 --> 03:52:56.020
No, looks like he's going to be able to walk away, Pop9. There's no wave here to force the tower

03:52:56.020 --> 03:53:00.500
dive. It would take a lot of time. And remember that DCG spent an immense amount of time setting

03:53:00.500 --> 03:53:04.580
up that play. They did get first blood, but it meant that Yon had a lot of time on his own in

03:53:04.580 --> 03:53:08.860
in the bottom land so it wasn't without cost and in fact it was a really big gamble but

03:53:08.860 --> 03:53:14.460
this is the thing I love about watching DCG is they're like oh I'm sorry what we're first

03:53:14.460 --> 03:53:18.820
hand of poker hand of the night we're going all in and a lot of teams just aren't ready

03:53:18.820 --> 03:53:21.580
for that you're supposed to play slow you're supposed to work into the game they're like

03:53:21.580 --> 03:53:26.220
we will better entire bot lane on contesting this we will give up all wave control just

03:53:26.220 --> 03:53:29.140
to be here for this moment yeah and I think that's why I was lucky to kill went towards

03:53:29.140 --> 03:53:32.620
foam because he did lose a lot underneath the tower but now it's still keeping relatively

03:53:32.620 --> 03:53:36.700
in touch with it. And I think they expected Fung to have reset. I think that was the timer

03:53:36.700 --> 03:53:40.380
that TO were playing for here. But Fung cancels the reset, which means that then you have

03:53:40.380 --> 03:53:44.300
the numbers advantage here and everyone's able to jump in. Quick can't really operate

03:53:44.300 --> 03:53:49.220
too much at this stage on the Akali. So, they chase down from DCG. Perfect as they kick

03:53:49.220 --> 03:53:50.220
up that kill.

03:53:50.220 --> 03:53:53.460
Yeah, just barely, right? Just pixels. But the fact that the nonchalous blast is able

03:53:53.460 --> 03:53:56.820
to connect, give that extra bit of movement speed really does make all the difference.

03:53:56.820 --> 03:54:02.980
The flash follow is also, you know, grabbing core just makes it such an excellent, excellent

03:54:02.980 --> 03:54:05.300
starting to continue the joy on these teams faces, right?

03:54:05.300 --> 03:54:10.260
First international debuts made their way up to tier one, now making their way to international

03:54:10.260 --> 03:54:14.780
yesterday, starting to feel like a little bit of a false start, but I won't, you know,

03:54:14.780 --> 03:54:16.380
count the chickens before they've hatched.

03:54:16.380 --> 03:54:18.340
We've seen good early games from DCG.

03:54:18.340 --> 03:54:21.580
It's that transition into the later stages that we're still waiting for.

03:54:21.580 --> 03:54:25.700
Yeah, I do think though this is a much stronger showing though, because yesterday you could

03:54:25.700 --> 03:54:30.140
kind of seeing game one, even though Shouse was on the Camille, it was a slow start. Wasn't

03:54:30.140 --> 03:54:33.320
really a huge amount of happen, weren't really roaming. This time though, they're already

03:54:33.320 --> 03:54:36.860
getting incredibly active in this early stage, and maybe looking for more.

03:54:36.860 --> 03:54:40.300
I'm going into instantaneous cataclysms and backstab from Yondas, not work out for him

03:54:40.300 --> 03:54:44.840
because now Fungus has been able to grab the kill. DCG continuing to show that level of

03:54:44.840 --> 03:54:48.780
aggression on the bottom side of the map, and look what, just have no counter play.

03:54:48.780 --> 03:54:53.420
Yeah, I mean, Yondas already burnt that flash earlier, so DCG punished well, should we have

03:54:53.420 --> 03:54:59.060
instead of dragon now off the back of this and they're off to a flying start in this one certainly stacking those dragons as well

03:54:59.060 --> 03:55:00.420
I'm gonna make it that much easier

03:55:00.420 --> 03:55:04.660
They can get to soul point force TL to fight on their terms. It'll be massive for this

03:55:05.220 --> 03:55:08.020
Jarvan the setup he has in the fights is

03:55:08.820 --> 03:55:12.700
Continuing to chip continuing to poke on level six to function level four though

03:55:13.260 --> 03:55:15.260
So it is

03:55:15.380 --> 03:55:19.820
There's a level six bars to a level four gym so as much as that kill hurts

03:55:19.820 --> 03:55:21.820
Yeah, maybe the pride maybe the ego

03:55:21.860 --> 03:55:24.500
Well, it has to be really careful about walking forward here

03:55:24.500 --> 03:55:28.140
You're on at the very least did burn ultimate so you can feel somewhat comfortable, but

03:55:28.700 --> 03:55:34.100
Pretty big experience discrepancy. I had a surprise course agent didn't try and play heavier on this midway though

03:55:34.100 --> 03:55:36.940
I'm sorry in this bot lane because you have no flash on fun

03:55:36.940 --> 03:55:40.500
And I believe they just saw show she reset so might have been an opportunity there

03:55:40.700 --> 03:55:44.140
But yeah, fun will be up to care at the wave. It's chassis

03:55:45.620 --> 03:55:47.620
white confident in

03:55:47.620 --> 03:55:50.500
in. That was just not a good

03:55:50.500 --> 03:55:51.000
economy.

03:55:52.240 --> 03:55:53.340
Callie takes damage.

03:55:53.340 --> 03:55:54.260
She walks to my husband.

03:55:54.260 --> 03:55:55.380
You could see her outline.

03:55:55.380 --> 03:55:56.740
There's just no way she was

03:55:56.740 --> 03:55:57.180
there.

03:55:57.780 --> 03:55:58.740
But he was feeling it.

03:55:58.740 --> 03:56:00.180
He in the moment he was like,

03:56:00.180 --> 03:56:01.180
hell, yeah, we're going to get

03:56:01.180 --> 03:56:01.380
her.

03:56:02.460 --> 03:56:03.580
That was the one place she

03:56:03.580 --> 03:56:04.940
actively could not have been.

03:56:04.940 --> 03:56:05.500
You would have.

03:56:05.500 --> 03:56:05.980
You would have.

03:56:05.980 --> 03:56:07.220
No, look, that's always the

03:56:07.220 --> 03:56:08.020
beauty of shows here.

03:56:08.020 --> 03:56:08.220
Right.

03:56:08.220 --> 03:56:09.100
That man is going to send

03:56:09.100 --> 03:56:09.140
it.

03:56:09.140 --> 03:56:10.980
No, it's not easy.

03:56:10.980 --> 03:56:12.260
After yesterday, some people

03:56:12.260 --> 03:56:12.660
were critical.

03:56:12.660 --> 03:56:13.700
I was like, I love this man.

03:56:13.700 --> 03:56:14.700
He is unbashed.

03:56:14.700 --> 03:56:16.340
He's just willing to go ham.

03:56:16.340 --> 03:56:20.960
And some players need more of that and sometimes Shosty needs a little bit less that might have been one of those times

03:56:20.960 --> 03:56:22.960
But good still to see the room into the mid lane

03:56:25.260 --> 03:56:30.860
So from this position, I think if you're a DCG it is going to be a case of though trying to keep Shosty out of the

03:56:30.860 --> 03:56:34.960
Lop, like if you can search a room towards like boy groves here and that kind of stuff would be really nice

03:56:34.960 --> 03:56:38.400
And you can already see though Jose Diodo has started this up has the

03:56:38.900 --> 03:56:42.100
Level six more or well that'll eight Morgan that could try and help the meadow. So it needs me

03:56:42.100 --> 03:56:47.660
He's interesting though, Florent also there has access to the equalizer, but no flash.

03:56:47.660 --> 03:56:52.860
Pop9 currently just spectating, we make it a 2v2.

03:56:52.860 --> 03:56:56.500
Core slightly ahead of ShaoSi on the roam, but neither side is level 6.

03:56:56.500 --> 03:57:00.380
Smite from Pop9 does not work out, a media Q3 means that they're going to give it more

03:57:00.380 --> 03:57:05.620
CC, lock up onto Qwid, but he's still fine, Cosmic Binding Connects, excellent ult, follow

03:57:05.620 --> 03:57:08.260
up is there, but now the Ornn Horde has been blown and they're trying to salvage something

03:57:08.260 --> 03:57:09.260
out of the play.

03:57:09.260 --> 03:57:14.340
Running for his life. No one could follow up the equalizer is there but Jose D'Irno still had access to the crossing guard

03:57:14.340 --> 03:57:19.700
Surprised himself in extra second, but will drop in the end a little bit of a blunt bath on the top side of the map

03:57:19.700 --> 03:57:23.140
Yeah, Morgan went for a heavy trade in that top line as everything was kicking off

03:57:23.140 --> 03:57:26.480
So managed to force for him back, which meant he could get to the fight faster

03:57:26.480 --> 03:57:31.300
Both junglers go down in the ensuing fights, but could have been a lot worse

03:57:32.100 --> 03:57:33.820
certainly could have been

03:57:33.820 --> 03:57:35.820
messy exchange ultimately

03:57:35.820 --> 03:57:37.820
Two grubs to one and

03:57:38.220 --> 03:57:42.660
You're able to at least to grab the plate quick force to come back to land to try and contest here, but

03:57:44.060 --> 03:57:51.620
Can't comfortably stay anymore. Yon continuing to hold on to almost a 30 CS advantage in the bottom lane

03:57:52.580 --> 03:57:59.220
Feels like a small gold lead just because of the difference and kills and assists, but very quickly working towards that first item spike

03:57:59.940 --> 03:58:04.740
Yeah, I mean especially having that teleport as well. Yon can play very aggressive in this bottom side

03:58:04.740 --> 03:58:08.180
I continue to push and then have that TP in a moment's notice to get back into lane

03:58:08.180 --> 03:58:13.940
Which is kind of where he saw can start to build that CS lead off from a couple of those early plays as court JJ spots pop nine

03:58:14.740 --> 03:58:16.740
And he takes the raptor

03:58:17.460 --> 03:58:20.840
Of course pop nine still gets the rest of the camp and Jose probably still sad to lose the Raptors

03:58:20.840 --> 03:58:26.400
But now they're looking to play defense on their own Raptors battle for camps. Let me saw a lot yesterday

03:58:27.540 --> 03:58:31.700
Now see wandering in the middle of the bow to take over to six. He's trying to siphon experience

03:58:31.700 --> 03:58:41.340
It's a cheeky look, level 6 is there, don't think he was spotted.

03:58:41.340 --> 03:58:46.740
The miasma comes down, Chausi has a nice angle to make a play here, but we'll just walk back

03:58:46.740 --> 03:58:48.820
to the bottom lane, try to sport fun instead.

03:58:48.820 --> 03:58:52.380
Yeah I think it was just, hey look, is there something here, because we may be burned flash

03:58:52.380 --> 03:58:55.820
before this dragon comes up in a minute 20, that could be something that we can try and

03:58:55.820 --> 03:58:59.340
play through, but unable to do so, so at the moment they're kind of just happy to continue

03:58:59.340 --> 03:59:00.340
to play it out.

03:59:00.340 --> 03:59:02.340
Oh my gosh.

03:59:02.780 --> 03:59:04.780
That is a lot of damage.

03:59:04.780 --> 03:59:06.460
Something cast, you know, that's what a little lead looks like.

03:59:06.460 --> 03:59:08.260
It's Morgan is now in trouble with the floor knocked up.

03:59:08.260 --> 03:59:09.580
Wind becomes lightning, follow-up is there.

03:59:09.580 --> 03:59:11.420
Crescent guard to knock back. Pop-9 is big.

03:59:11.420 --> 03:59:12.700
Now they're caught in the Thunder Dome.

03:59:12.700 --> 03:59:13.980
Jose Oduido versus Pop-9.

03:59:13.980 --> 03:59:15.580
Neither one has finished that first item,

03:59:15.580 --> 03:59:18.260
but it's double-bushed to Jose, but a massive health discrepancy.

03:59:18.260 --> 03:59:19.580
A little bit more healing coming in off the pass.

03:59:19.580 --> 03:59:20.580
A dragon strike hits.

03:59:20.580 --> 03:59:22.020
Jose able to walk it off.

03:59:22.020 --> 03:59:23.300
One for one on the top side.

03:59:23.300 --> 03:59:24.340
Looks to go on the way in.

03:59:24.340 --> 03:59:26.780
Quid trying to walk away. Pop-9 flashed in!

03:59:26.780 --> 03:59:29.020
Otto! That's completely psycho!

03:59:29.020 --> 03:59:31.860
He's got to go for the 1 for 1, you got to respect it!

03:59:31.860 --> 03:59:35.420
But now in the bottom lane, as Fungus in trouble, the barrier not enough.

03:59:35.420 --> 03:59:39.820
Core coming in with the magical journey, finding the CC, and picking up the kill.

03:59:39.820 --> 03:59:43.620
Grey binding from CoreJJ onto the minions, actually set up free on there.

03:59:43.620 --> 03:59:45.460
So they do manage to get something back in the bottom side,

03:59:45.460 --> 03:59:49.340
and CoreJJ continue to keep Shousey off the spot turret so they can get a few more plates.

03:59:49.940 --> 03:59:52.180
TPM on the bottom lane, the play is absolutely not done.

03:59:52.180 --> 03:59:56.060
Core, how much longer on the cooldown, it is available and time for force to walk away.

03:59:56.060 --> 04:00:03.100
What is happening? This game is nuts. But the thing is though, like while DCG are playing

04:00:03.100 --> 04:00:06.940
a hell of a lot around this top side of the map, that ball in is opening up a steady lead.

04:00:06.940 --> 04:00:11.740
So you see here, Pop9 thinks he's got a moment to play, but Jose Dioto does a good job reading this,

04:00:11.740 --> 04:00:17.820
covers to get one back on the end of this, and then it is the kill going across. Jose Dioto

04:00:17.820 --> 04:00:21.500
then kind of has to back away because he ends up so low, but Hongsu has a good roam here.

04:00:22.060 --> 04:00:25.660
But that's why I don't think Pop9 needed to go this aggressive. I think he was hoping for

04:00:25.660 --> 04:00:28.740
for an auto with that possum would then be enough to kill.

04:00:28.740 --> 04:00:31.340
It's NOS and he ends up falling down into the terror.

04:00:31.340 --> 04:00:33.020
But then in the bottom lane.

04:00:33.020 --> 04:00:34.740
But yeah, this is the play, right?

04:00:34.740 --> 04:00:36.460
Nice little cosmic binding through the minion.

04:00:36.460 --> 04:00:37.460
Really easy kill setup.

04:00:37.460 --> 04:00:39.060
But the action is not over, folks.

04:00:39.060 --> 04:00:40.700
We cannot run replays in this game.

04:00:40.700 --> 04:00:41.540
There's two players.

04:00:41.540 --> 04:00:42.980
Cortez is in the pit for some reason.

04:00:42.980 --> 04:00:43.820
All of you coming down.

04:00:43.820 --> 04:00:45.020
Jose Dioto, this is his chance.

04:00:45.020 --> 04:00:46.620
The 50-pitch special, who's going to get in the end?

04:00:46.620 --> 04:00:47.820
It is Jose Dioto.

04:00:47.820 --> 04:00:49.500
Pop 9 a little bit off on the timing.

04:00:49.500 --> 04:00:50.420
Ornorn has been blown.

04:00:50.420 --> 04:00:51.260
Two members, no.

04:00:51.260 --> 04:00:53.140
Nobody going to be knocked up on the back side.

04:00:53.140 --> 04:00:55.220
All of DCG retreats.

04:00:55.220 --> 04:00:59.720
One member down, one dragon down in favor of Team Liquid Alienware.

04:01:00.020 --> 04:01:04.020
And the game continues with the gold still in touching distance.

04:01:04.020 --> 04:01:07.120
Yeah, but again, the huge amount of that is Yonah on the bottom side,

04:01:07.120 --> 04:01:10.120
Nailhose Diodo having turned that jungle matchup.

04:01:10.120 --> 04:01:12.420
Maybe they want a bit more as far and tries to escape.

04:01:12.420 --> 04:01:13.620
Doesn't have an equalizer.

04:01:14.320 --> 04:01:17.120
Nice protobelt to get away from the Cosmic Binding.

04:01:17.120 --> 04:01:19.320
Chousy sprinting down.

04:01:19.620 --> 04:01:21.120
Electro Harpoon doesn't connect onto Hose Diodo.

04:01:21.120 --> 04:01:22.020
He's able to walk that one off.

04:01:22.020 --> 04:01:25.620
It needs to be a little bit careful, but Shurikin Flip takes him out.

04:01:27.380 --> 04:01:28.900
Yeah, I think he knows he's fine.

04:01:28.900 --> 04:01:30.940
Chelsea used Flash out of their ultimate in the last fight,

04:01:30.940 --> 04:01:33.620
so Mal can be able to really close that distance.

04:01:33.620 --> 04:01:36.020
And I think that was the big difference maker in this last fight,

04:01:36.020 --> 04:01:40.780
was the value that TCG were able to get out of their ultimate.

04:01:40.780 --> 04:01:44.540
Chelsea didn't really get much Florence's wift on the ultimate as well,

04:01:44.540 --> 04:01:47.740
and it just meant there wasn't a huge amount of the tank then to try and fight afterwards.

04:01:47.740 --> 04:01:51.420
TCG though, still trying to set up on this bottom side, get some deep vision.

04:01:51.420 --> 04:01:53.680
Like, this game is bedroom right now.

04:01:53.680 --> 04:01:55.480
And I think we just have to...

04:01:55.480 --> 04:01:56.880
Let's take a breath.

04:01:56.880 --> 04:01:58.380
It's one Drake to one Drake.

04:01:58.380 --> 04:01:59.820
Most of the quests getting completed,

04:01:59.820 --> 04:02:02.620
still a few here or there that have not come through.

04:02:02.620 --> 04:02:05.220
Level 11 around the corner for both Quid and Yon.

04:02:05.220 --> 04:02:07.220
First item completion, still not there for Quid.

04:02:07.220 --> 04:02:09.960
Still rushing to get that gunblade as you can see on Q.

04:02:09.960 --> 04:02:12.020
Pulling ahead in terms of overall itemization.

04:02:12.020 --> 04:02:13.920
So still super close game,

04:02:13.920 --> 04:02:16.980
but each side kind of has their respective strong points.

04:02:16.980 --> 04:02:18.860
Florent, I think getting a lot of additional gold

04:02:18.860 --> 04:02:20.120
out of that first strike helps.

04:02:20.120 --> 04:02:23.920
and you saw the Protobolt getting that first item of completion actually saved his life in the bot lane play.

04:02:24.320 --> 04:02:26.920
Oh, just playing mid lane. Yon is giving me a trouble. Immediately rooted.

04:02:27.320 --> 04:02:28.520
Core buys a couple of seconds.

04:02:28.620 --> 04:02:32.620
Jharm now fading away. Yon wants to get the magical journey, but there's just too much damage

04:02:32.820 --> 04:02:36.720
on the side of DCG. No one else from TL in the area to cover that play.

04:02:36.820 --> 04:02:41.520
Yeah, it just seems to be a heat seeking miss off for DCG. The second Yon doesn't have that flash available,

04:02:41.720 --> 04:02:43.820
I had you to pick up the play, couldn't keep him safe,

04:02:44.020 --> 04:02:46.620
and that now starts to spill over into side lanes, because you can see

04:02:46.620 --> 04:02:49.060
as DCG starts to play up towards the topside,

04:02:49.060 --> 04:02:52.100
creates the back away, he can't really get much control over the map,

04:02:52.100 --> 04:02:55.180
and this can now become kind of the game plan for DCG.

04:02:55.180 --> 04:02:58.180
Overload mid, and then spill into the sidelines afterwards.

04:02:58.180 --> 04:03:01.260
And I think this is the struggle of Jan being that sole strong point

04:03:01.260 --> 04:03:02.260
in terms of overall gold.

04:03:02.260 --> 04:03:05.420
You can see Jose D'Irre, the only other member of the team who has it recently,

04:03:05.420 --> 04:03:06.860
that's even now starting to even out,

04:03:06.860 --> 04:03:09.820
is you're very vulnerable, as is some mobile carry,

04:03:09.820 --> 04:03:13.540
to that Jarvan, to any of the potential Jarvan or Rakan plays.

04:03:13.540 --> 04:03:23.540
It's definitely not going to get easier as we get later into the game, but I think he's just hoping that he'll be able to operate a little bit further back, you know, kind of an arms reach away to make sure that it's not so easy for them to find those picks.

04:03:23.540 --> 04:03:31.540
Yeah, he does just kind of have to play towards this topside of the map, because you can see the defensive line of vision that's been set up on this topside where he can actually keep himself safe.

04:03:31.540 --> 04:03:42.540
But the bottomside kind of belongs to DCG. Rift Herald open available though. You can see the contemplation by Florent to see if he wants to move up towards this Rift Herald, but it looks like DCG is just going to give this.

04:03:42.540 --> 04:03:44.540
Or are they?

04:03:44.540 --> 04:03:46.540
I don't know, is it to beat their mind?

04:03:46.540 --> 04:03:50.540
Keep you from behind. Pop 9 going in. They will give it.

04:03:50.540 --> 04:03:54.540
But they might be looking for a fight afterwards. Nice equalizer across the top. Morgan in the mid to the pick.

04:03:54.540 --> 04:03:57.540
Quit immediately diving into the backline to try to play flung out of the equation.

04:03:57.540 --> 04:04:02.540
All to come in from Morgan is going to find the solo knock up on the Pop 9 who will get deleted before the fight really even kicks off.

04:04:02.540 --> 04:04:07.540
Yon looking to spot the flanker. Florent all on his lonesome. The flank came rumble. Not something I'm used to seeing as a flash out.

04:04:07.540 --> 04:04:11.540
Might make him safe, but he's going to have to walk a perfect line here between towers. Can't quite do it.

04:04:11.540 --> 04:04:12.840
quite do it. Gets locked up.

04:04:12.840 --> 04:04:14.540
Hosea, you know, quick the follow.

04:04:14.540 --> 04:04:16.640
Flash forward with the W as well to seal the deal.

04:04:16.640 --> 04:04:19.440
The DCG just way over index into that.

04:04:19.440 --> 04:04:21.640
And Team Liquid played it perfectly.

04:04:21.640 --> 04:04:24.040
Morgan in particular, managing to get double

04:04:24.040 --> 04:04:27.040
knock ups on towards the jungler of DCG,

04:04:27.040 --> 04:04:29.440
sets up the team fight, and Team Liquid are going

04:04:29.440 --> 04:04:31.440
to get so much off the back of this.

04:04:31.440 --> 04:04:33.540
Good patience, good punish really.

04:04:33.540 --> 04:04:35.040
DCG.

04:04:35.040 --> 04:04:36.540
I don't think they needed to be there,

04:04:36.540 --> 04:04:38.840
but clearly felt like they had an angle to force the play.

04:04:38.840 --> 04:04:45.840
But I think for Team Liquid, like, break all, right, they knew the position, they were like,

04:04:45.840 --> 04:04:50.840
DCG can't really contest us on this, and Morgan teleports the reckoning to the middle of them,

04:04:50.840 --> 04:04:54.840
which just sets them up brilliantly. Now you can see Midlane tower down, Morgan is pushing bot,

04:04:54.840 --> 04:04:59.840
he's going to be able to take that turret as well, actually, does he? Yeah, should be able to take it just off the back,

04:04:59.840 --> 04:05:01.840
and then you're in a perfect spot here.

04:05:01.840 --> 04:05:05.840
Yeah, and I think this is a really nice game for Morgan, right? Obviously playing at Trouble can't always be tricky,

04:05:05.840 --> 04:05:09.180
but just stacking MR takes out two of the major damage threats

04:05:09.180 --> 04:05:13.360
and Jin notoriously really bad at killing tanks until three, four items.

04:05:13.360 --> 04:05:17.080
So he can just TP into your face and be pretty comfortable

04:05:17.080 --> 04:05:19.400
to impact teamfights without risking too much.

04:05:19.400 --> 04:05:21.560
Yeah, but I want to highlight Morgan again in this

04:05:21.560 --> 04:05:23.500
because he immediately goes on towards Pop9.

04:05:23.500 --> 04:05:24.960
Shousey doesn't get the knock-off,

04:05:24.960 --> 04:05:28.360
but then gets the charge onto the wall for Pop9,

04:05:28.360 --> 04:05:29.720
which immediately gets the follow-up knock-off,

04:05:29.720 --> 04:05:31.760
but then they're in to finish off Pop9,

04:05:31.760 --> 04:05:33.040
which just turns the fight immediately

04:05:33.040 --> 04:05:37.200
Because that's the main engage tool down for DCG.

04:05:37.200 --> 04:05:38.600
And then Florent trying to escape,

04:05:38.600 --> 04:05:43.280
but Jose Dioto has not let him get away with that one.

04:05:43.280 --> 04:05:47.680
Calm, gum chewing, and clapping there from Mr. Spon,

04:05:47.680 --> 04:05:50.680
Tiberi.

04:05:50.680 --> 04:05:52.120
Jose Dioto continuing to fish.

04:05:52.120 --> 04:05:53.880
And now it feels like Team Liquid for the first time

04:05:53.880 --> 04:05:56.080
in this game has a bit more of a secure control

04:05:56.080 --> 04:05:57.560
on the state of the map.

04:05:57.560 --> 04:05:59.040
Things coming in on the bottom side,

04:05:59.040 --> 04:06:02.480
setting up for another arena, another battle around this Drake.

04:06:02.480 --> 04:06:05.240
Third Drake of the game, one-to-one thus far.

04:06:05.240 --> 04:06:06.760
Good vision for DCG, basically,

04:06:06.760 --> 04:06:08.840
don't know where Team Liquid are.

04:06:08.840 --> 04:06:10.200
But they really need to be careful

04:06:10.200 --> 04:06:12.920
on these choke points, especially against Morgan.

04:06:12.920 --> 04:06:15.120
Same as true for TL, though, about walking into the river

04:06:15.120 --> 04:06:16.920
here, but Morgan's going to be the light kicker,

04:06:16.920 --> 04:06:17.800
off Bornhorn's alone.

04:06:17.800 --> 04:06:19.080
Now, what's going to be hit by the knock-up?

04:06:19.080 --> 04:06:20.880
Once we get a flashback, we're going to completely whiff.

04:06:20.880 --> 04:06:21.880
Lockup is there from core.

04:06:21.880 --> 04:06:22.880
Four-time is locked up.

04:06:22.880 --> 04:06:24.120
PQ coming over the wall from the on,

04:06:24.120 --> 04:06:25.840
but it doesn't connect on to anybody, it might not matter.

04:06:25.840 --> 04:06:27.440
Wait, immediately into the backside of the fight,

04:06:27.440 --> 04:06:28.840
forced to be zoned off.

04:06:28.840 --> 04:06:30.920
Morgan just keeps walking up.

04:06:30.920 --> 04:06:35.920
There's no damage to be spoken of, and everybody walks away with their life, but it's TL in control of the Drake.

04:06:35.920 --> 04:06:43.720
Yeah, Team Liquid kind of had this shotgun composition where so much of their damage is front-loaded with this poke virus, with the Akali, with them not getting the kill.

04:06:43.720 --> 04:06:51.120
There's not a huge amount to follow up afterwards, but they do enough, and that's all they needed to force DCG back, and they will be able to get the dragon.

04:06:53.020 --> 04:06:53.920
Drake picked up.

04:06:54.620 --> 04:07:00.620
Journal Soul will be big for either side. TL may be laying a trap here, trying to force a fast play, but get spotted by the Squires blue.

04:07:00.920 --> 04:07:07.800
Top 9, that's the DCG right back on the map, ready to fight for these cams, but really don't

04:07:07.800 --> 04:07:11.400
have that much vision information, it would be a gamble to step that much further forward,

04:07:11.400 --> 04:07:17.840
but Cassie here in the top lane, slowly working away at the tower, fortunately Morgan is kind

04:07:17.840 --> 04:07:22.240
of one of the people that you can't really contend with, in an extended lane sure, but

04:07:22.240 --> 04:07:23.960
in terms of immediately taking a tower.

04:07:23.960 --> 04:07:27.880
Even Danny has Kana brookern and the merc threads, like on up against either solo lane,

04:07:27.880 --> 04:07:28.880
he's completely fine.

04:07:28.880 --> 04:07:32.880
believe you'll kill him I just believe it'll take more time than than you have

04:07:32.880 --> 04:07:36.000
yeah he just has to stand there and dance for a little while and you know

04:07:36.000 --> 04:07:39.880
spin around yeah

04:07:39.880 --> 04:07:43.600
maybe some magic plan to come through a little bit later in the game I do think

04:07:43.600 --> 04:07:46.820
those showers he's been doing a decent job of getting vision for a lot of these

04:07:46.820 --> 04:07:50.020
plays for DCG like you can see again they kind of have this trifecta of war

04:07:50.020 --> 04:07:53.000
it's one of them just deleted there in tri-brush but either way like it's

04:07:53.000 --> 04:07:56.800
giving a lot of info to DCG about where Team Liquid are they just haven't been

04:07:56.800 --> 04:08:00.880
to capitalize on them and a lot of that is because Team Liquid are playing very well around

04:08:00.880 --> 04:08:04.960
Morgan's engages and playing the front to back and kind of picking their flights at the right time.

04:08:04.960 --> 04:08:09.120
In particular, Quidd, I think that you call it like this is difficult to try and play around,

04:08:09.120 --> 04:08:12.320
but in the last fight you can see you end up dodging away from Hong-Sou's ultimus

04:08:12.320 --> 04:08:16.960
and timing that perfect execution so well. Very aggressive, they here on the top side from Team

04:08:16.960 --> 04:08:22.640
Liquid in the smite going in the favor of Jose Diodo. Doesn't mean they're going to secure the red buff,

04:08:22.640 --> 04:08:26.000
so it has to be a bit careful here, uses the striers below just to give them information

04:08:26.000 --> 04:08:28.360
of anybody coming, has the ward there as well to spot out Jose.

04:08:28.360 --> 04:08:30.020
But there are nobody here.

04:08:30.020 --> 04:08:33.440
Jose De Hito just going in for the 1v1 and is dominating.

04:08:33.440 --> 04:08:34.320
Backstep is good.

04:08:34.320 --> 04:08:35.400
Now looking for a little bit more fall.

04:08:35.400 --> 04:08:37.120
Knockback on the Shousey to get a little bit more

04:08:37.120 --> 04:08:38.000
locked down from Core JJ.

04:08:38.000 --> 04:08:39.000
There was a lot of time he saw.

04:08:39.000 --> 04:08:41.440
Jermaine just walking and solo kill a mid laner.

04:08:41.440 --> 04:08:42.600
Well, he's seeing it now.

04:08:42.600 --> 04:08:43.800
Core in the end.

04:08:43.800 --> 04:08:45.040
Going to take away the kill credit,

04:08:45.040 --> 04:08:47.760
but he looked quite happy to find that pick.

04:08:47.760 --> 04:08:50.720
And BCG had full control a few seconds ago,

04:08:50.720 --> 04:08:53.440
but Cassio sticking around a little bit too long.

04:08:53.440 --> 04:08:54.720
Yeah, nice pick.

04:08:54.720 --> 04:08:57.920
as Team Liquid gonna be able to take the top lanter, the TP, the Empty, Kali as well.

04:08:57.920 --> 04:09:00.020
Maybe thinking they could get a little bit more, but...

04:09:00.820 --> 04:09:03.820
Happy enough with the top Territake and this pushing on the mid.

04:09:04.820 --> 04:09:06.820
We are, and of course the strongest member of the team.

04:09:06.820 --> 04:09:10.320
Two items completed right ahead in terms of XP against Hongxiu.

04:09:10.520 --> 04:09:12.620
Has the full additional item completion, so...

04:09:13.620 --> 04:09:15.520
New he was stronger in that duel.

04:09:15.520 --> 04:09:17.420
Shaoxi not able to get it in time.

04:09:18.120 --> 04:09:19.420
Does make things a little bit trickier.

04:09:19.420 --> 04:09:21.620
Foranthir these will be able to, uh...

04:09:21.720 --> 04:09:22.320
Grab that play.

04:09:22.320 --> 04:09:23.720
He's got the Kali behind him though.

04:09:23.720 --> 04:09:32.720
One-horn once again blown, tries to get a little bit more space, has the blast cone, TP is there, dash forward and they get the knockup!

04:09:32.720 --> 04:09:41.720
What an escape! A few pixels closer to the wall, slightly different angle, maybe they could have got it.

04:09:41.720 --> 04:09:45.720
But a high price to pay for a single tower plate, losing that teleport.

04:09:45.720 --> 04:09:50.440
Yeah, still I mean the fact that you end up not giving over that kill is massive

04:09:50.440 --> 04:09:52.120
You still get pushed out in this top side as well

04:09:52.120 --> 04:09:56.480
Which will buy you a little bit of breathing room especially for like two minutes now when that next dragons up

04:09:56.480 --> 04:09:59.680
You kind of get a chance to back and continue to get control over the side lane

04:09:59.680 --> 04:10:05.200
So just buy a little bit of time for TCG, but team liquid would have loved that one. We get the replay here

04:10:07.280 --> 04:10:09.280
Oh

04:10:10.120 --> 04:10:15.540
Who moved that wall yeah someone someone is a couple centimeters they added to that

04:10:15.720 --> 04:10:17.720
There was supposed to be a wall there.

04:10:17.720 --> 04:10:21.720
I mean even if you got the battle's breath off or the clap, something, but no.

04:10:21.720 --> 04:10:23.720
Just not there.

04:10:23.720 --> 04:10:25.720
Yeah, not quite enough.

04:10:25.720 --> 04:10:28.720
But they still get the TP, which I think they could be relatively happy about.

04:10:28.720 --> 04:10:32.720
It is, you know, ultimately not the full play that they wanted,

04:10:32.720 --> 04:10:35.720
but quit uncontested for now, and the top lane able to grab a play to the zone.

04:10:35.720 --> 04:10:39.720
They're not sure when Keel will feel like it's a good time to start this.

04:10:39.720 --> 04:10:41.720
Do not have an on-hit 80 carry, right?

04:10:41.720 --> 04:10:43.720
So it is going to take a decent amount of time.

04:10:43.720 --> 04:10:47.480
amount of time. Don't have the luxury of a Casio either. So it's a quite slow Baron if everyone

04:10:47.480 --> 04:10:50.840
starts. I do like how safe Yon is playing in this mid lane though, because you can kind of see

04:10:50.840 --> 04:10:54.760
that Pop9 is constantly threatening on this mid wave. Yon, like you can see the second wave

04:10:54.760 --> 04:10:59.160
is done, just immediately pulls back. And even on the initial press, as they were getting controlled

04:10:59.160 --> 04:11:03.080
on the top side, he's just playing super safe. I think he's kind of learned his lesson from that

04:11:03.080 --> 04:11:07.880
early mistake where he got caught. And it is making it tough now for DCG to try and play through what

04:11:07.880 --> 04:11:09.880
What was their weakness?

04:11:09.880 --> 04:11:10.880
Up 9.

04:11:10.880 --> 04:11:11.880
Can use the standard.

04:11:11.880 --> 04:11:15.880
Just to spot out Hosea Dioto, who 1.6k ahead individually.

04:11:15.880 --> 04:11:18.880
Strongest member on this team relative to their opposition.

04:11:18.880 --> 04:11:20.880
Although Yon had 3 items.

04:11:20.880 --> 04:11:22.880
He's worth his special mention too.

04:11:22.880 --> 04:11:25.880
Having the additional shred on those shields.

04:11:25.880 --> 04:11:26.880
I love Serpent's Fang, man.

04:11:26.880 --> 04:11:28.880
Anyone who builds Serpent's Fang, good by me.

04:11:28.880 --> 04:11:32.880
Play too many a-rams where people don't understand the value of shielding and healing reduction.

04:11:32.880 --> 04:11:34.880
As we look at the coin-based gold grind,

04:11:34.880 --> 04:11:40.280
We can see, you know, there's some kill gold, definitely mixed in there, but the kill gold is close.

04:11:40.280 --> 04:11:45.380
It's a monster gap in terms of the gold between these two players, almost one game more in the favor of Jose Diodo.

04:11:45.380 --> 04:11:51.680
And now a potential fight of Bruin in the mid lane. All five flashes up on one side, but on two offs, not to flash here.

04:11:51.680 --> 04:11:56.880
Altee there not really going to connect to stun. Altee coming in from Morgan, looks for the bull command knock.

04:11:56.880 --> 04:12:02.680
A media turn coming back from a shower, so he could Altee from you onto the back line, means that this fight is going all in the favor of TL.

04:12:02.680 --> 04:12:04.680
Fallen running for his life, trying to burn down Hoseji,

04:12:04.680 --> 04:12:07.380
can't quite get the job done, Yon moving in for one more auto.

04:12:07.380 --> 04:12:10.180
Little bit more movement speed, but it's a magical journey for Gordje and Dane,

04:12:10.180 --> 04:12:12.680
and it is not so magical for Florin.

04:12:12.680 --> 04:12:15.180
Aero through the heart from Yon, finishes the job,

04:12:15.180 --> 04:12:18.180
is pop-knock up for a re-engage on the Morgan,

04:12:18.180 --> 04:12:20.180
and it's TL in pull control here.

04:12:20.180 --> 04:12:21.180
Nope, Quidd!

04:12:21.180 --> 04:12:22.380
Wors the flashback.

04:12:22.380 --> 04:12:23.380
I spoke too soon.

04:12:23.380 --> 04:12:27.680
Pull control for a half a second before ECG decided it was time to fight once more.

04:12:27.680 --> 04:12:31.180
Groot on the Morgan, knockup gonna be interrupted by the bellow's breath.

04:12:31.180 --> 04:12:35.420
Unstoppable for a second as Morgan slowly starts to fall. Yon doing good damage.

04:12:36.380 --> 04:12:40.300
Unlocked down here. How much more do GCG feel like they have in the tank?

04:12:40.300 --> 04:12:43.340
Because Jose Diablo's not even there. He's just focusing down the drake,

04:12:43.340 --> 04:12:47.340
but Chausley continues to walk forward. I think he's just trying to buy space,

04:12:47.340 --> 04:12:53.900
so then Funko maybe get this mid lane turret, but Team Liquid able to get their place on this mid wave

04:12:53.900 --> 04:12:57.740
and make sure they're not taking more. But yeah, this fight, and again, I love the way Team Liquid

04:12:57.740 --> 04:13:03.740
to play in these like they split up DCG so well. Pop9 playing very far back for JJ realises

04:13:03.740 --> 04:13:08.380
sets up a home soil but dodges away from the petrifying gaze and then Morgan as well like

04:13:08.380 --> 04:13:13.340
splitting again DCG. Fong has to step away. Florentine can step up which opens up for

04:13:13.340 --> 04:13:18.540
quick to then get into the back line and by that time with the shroud to set up for the kills

04:13:18.540 --> 04:13:23.820
to team Liquid again like very quickly decimating some of the key members of DCG.

04:13:23.820 --> 04:13:28.820
Yeah, and obviously in the extended play DCG happy to commit to get some of those exit kills

04:13:28.820 --> 04:13:32.460
But the only reason it really works out for them is because Jose Diodo isn't there and

04:13:33.220 --> 04:13:35.540
Some some raised eyebrows in that moment

04:13:35.540 --> 04:13:39.780
I mean also like there wasn't much in the way of armor on Morgan for that fight

04:13:39.780 --> 04:13:42.440
So fun able to get a lot more value and that has changed

04:13:43.300 --> 04:13:47.500
May not be able to do as much work but definitely helping DCG get one back there in the end

04:13:47.740 --> 04:13:52.380
That's what they'll come after fun as well. So we'll see if he's able to get through that beefy health bar

04:13:52.380 --> 04:13:57.580
They come to the next fight. Mid lane, the next target here. Root is there. The follow-up though,

04:13:57.580 --> 04:14:00.220
really not coming together as you want. Is able to land the ultimate on a pop-down to

04:14:00.220 --> 04:14:03.500
follow-up. Aldi, the connection coming through on the following now. He's forced to flash back in,

04:14:03.500 --> 04:14:08.940
and it is Quidd standing behind them with an order to support as Akali's 3-2 instantaneous kills.

04:14:08.940 --> 04:14:12.460
Follow-up on the E2 coming down on the floor in the meantime. Mid lane immediate retreat for

04:14:12.460 --> 04:14:17.580
the remaining members of DCG because Quidd killing everyone. It's a triple for the Akali.

04:14:17.580 --> 04:14:22.340
Team Liquid just destroyed DCG in one move.

04:14:22.340 --> 04:14:24.880
You end up going for that dive in the mid lane.

04:14:24.880 --> 04:14:28.340
They don't commit, and that moment of hesitation

04:14:28.340 --> 04:14:32.640
is enough for Jan to get the chain of corruption down.

04:14:32.640 --> 04:14:34.040
And immediately, Team Liquid pounced.

04:14:34.040 --> 04:14:36.340
Quid saw his moment, picks up Pop9,

04:14:36.340 --> 04:14:38.040
holds the perfect execution,

04:14:38.040 --> 04:14:40.680
because he knows that if he can connect to a Florin,

04:14:40.680 --> 04:14:43.040
it's lights out for the rumble as well.

04:14:43.040 --> 04:14:45.540
Quid played that beautifully.

04:14:45.540 --> 04:14:48.180
I live for the coach.

04:14:48.180 --> 04:14:51.480
Yeah, that's that's that's that was the pretty good.

04:14:51.480 --> 04:14:52.980
I'll take it clap clap clap clap clap clap.

04:14:52.980 --> 04:14:53.660
That's my guess.

04:14:53.660 --> 04:14:54.620
Maybe we can interview later.

04:14:54.620 --> 04:14:56.620
We can ask.

04:14:56.620 --> 04:14:58.620
Yeah, I think you're going to be pleased about that.

04:14:58.620 --> 04:15:00.820
6.6k gold lead.

04:15:00.820 --> 04:15:02.620
Honestly, that previous fight felt

04:15:02.620 --> 04:15:04.980
like it was where it's really solidly established

04:15:04.980 --> 04:15:07.820
TL and control and this most recent one is the G again.

04:15:07.820 --> 04:15:09.260
Overcommitting just a bit.

04:15:09.260 --> 04:15:09.940
Yeah.

04:15:09.940 --> 04:15:13.020
But it's also it is also Team Liquid not giving the moments

04:15:13.020 --> 04:15:13.500
again.

04:15:13.500 --> 04:15:13.580
Right?

04:15:13.580 --> 04:15:14.260
It's very true.

04:15:14.260 --> 04:15:18.260
It's as John is playing incredibly safe under terror, Team Liquid are supporting him.

04:15:18.260 --> 04:15:23.760
You could see that DCG thought maybe they had a moment, but they're constantly aware of what DCG are up to.

04:15:23.760 --> 04:15:28.260
And I think it speaks volumes to why, even though DCG started to get some leads,

04:15:28.260 --> 04:15:31.760
it has completely fallen in the favor of Team Liquid.

04:15:31.760 --> 04:15:35.760
And I think Team Liquid is acting playstyle pretty quickly after what was a very,

04:15:35.760 --> 04:15:41.260
it's a messy early game, a very chaotic, kind of brawly early game to slow this down,

04:15:41.260 --> 04:15:43.100
play more at a comfortable pace for themselves.

04:15:43.100 --> 04:15:46.540
And DCG, a team that's so eager to make plays

04:15:46.540 --> 04:15:48.580
that it often backfires that the enemy team is prepared.

04:15:48.580 --> 04:15:50.140
And Team Liquid have been prepared as now.

04:15:50.140 --> 04:15:53.540
They start sieging, Ft. Lane, tier two.

04:15:53.540 --> 04:15:56.380
DCG have, you can see the combo angle, right?

04:15:56.380 --> 04:15:58.140
The hot-paw, we talked about it, the Jarvan and Rumble

04:15:58.140 --> 04:15:59.900
all these together.

04:15:59.900 --> 04:16:02.380
But the poke from the on, pretty merciless.

04:16:02.380 --> 04:16:05.420
It's just difficult for DCG to walk up right now.

04:16:05.420 --> 04:16:07.500
Still minute 40 on this bar and push.

04:16:07.500 --> 04:16:10.380
So I think Team Liquid are going to start to very quickly

04:16:10.380 --> 04:16:11.980
They open up his rental bar and power plays.

04:16:11.980 --> 04:16:14.700
Morgan just fearless stepping forward.

04:16:14.700 --> 04:16:16.860
It's going to get rooted, but there's absolutely no fault.

04:16:16.860 --> 04:16:17.360
Me one.

04:16:17.360 --> 04:16:18.020
I mean, mid lane.

04:16:18.020 --> 04:16:19.580
What's this going to solo kill Florent?

04:16:19.580 --> 04:16:21.220
Nope.

04:16:21.220 --> 04:16:22.940
Misses the Q, misses the R2.

04:16:22.940 --> 04:16:24.300
We'll get the flash out of Florent.

04:16:24.300 --> 04:16:25.700
Definitely had the damage.

04:16:25.700 --> 04:16:29.260
Just a few of those cooldowns, not quite connecting.

04:16:29.260 --> 04:16:33.460
DCG, trying what they can to fend off the empowered can

04:16:33.460 --> 04:16:34.900
and minions.

04:16:34.900 --> 04:16:37.460
We're still hovering around.

04:16:37.460 --> 04:16:38.900
One tower, one inhibitor down.

04:16:38.900 --> 04:16:44.600
Knocked on Jose Diodo is good, but he does have the GA as well as the Altea coming in from 4 to buy him an X per second.

04:16:44.600 --> 04:16:48.260
His own Altea will now start to fade onto hovering off to the side.

04:16:48.260 --> 04:16:50.460
Shousey looking for the two-man engage. Immediate fall-up!

04:16:50.460 --> 04:16:52.580
It's a purple goal to Ben Popped out of the back leg and a knockout!

04:16:52.580 --> 04:16:55.540
Yan! Quit now coming in, but remember that Akali doesn't have an Altea hovering.

04:16:55.540 --> 04:16:59.560
He doesn't need it because Jose Diodo is here looking to make the difference.

04:16:59.560 --> 04:17:01.940
Four members of DCG repeating it as a one for one.

04:17:01.940 --> 04:17:06.820
Yan for Hong-Sul, but it's TL in the base empowered by the Baron.

04:17:06.820 --> 04:17:11.300
However, they don't want to push for any more. They don't want to risk it. Happy to get double inhibitors and walk away

04:17:11.460 --> 04:17:15.380
Just gonna step back little risky with a good engage from Chelsea

04:17:15.380 --> 04:17:19.580
But again team Liquid end up completely routing them turn it back

04:17:19.700 --> 04:17:23.980
We'll get the inhibitors that they want and DCG it all kind of comes to nothing

04:17:25.660 --> 04:17:30.740
Does nice to give themselves a bit more space but ultimately TL kind of got what they came for right both inhibitors down

04:17:30.740 --> 04:17:36.260
12 seconds until the dragon something DCG are clearly ready to fight for but at

04:17:36.260 --> 04:17:40.460
this point in the game with lack of inhibitors yeah I would agree I don't

04:17:40.460 --> 04:17:45.380
know if that'll stop DCG have her. I think at this age like Seekers Armguard

04:17:45.380 --> 04:17:50.460
compete for Queen you still haven't burnt that G.A. and even if you get the

04:17:50.460 --> 04:17:53.980
Drake you might just lose the game look at bot lane it's in such a disastrous

04:17:53.980 --> 04:17:57.020
state if you lose more members than team Liquid in any kind of fight it would

04:17:57.020 --> 04:18:01.340
fall apart DCG recognizing it. It's definitely not what they want but they

04:18:01.340 --> 04:18:06.380
just really have no other choice. The risk is to mine, try and contest. Now it's

04:18:06.380 --> 04:18:14.460
Infernal Soul which for Yon is a dream come true. This fan getting a lot of

04:18:14.460 --> 04:18:18.340
free damage already with the poke for us and that number only gonna go up. I think

04:18:18.340 --> 04:18:21.260
if you're DCG you're really hoping the team liquid kind of flow above the

04:18:21.260 --> 04:18:24.140
initial engage because again like a lot of that damage with like perfect

04:18:24.140 --> 04:18:28.600
execution and you're very front-loaded and then maybe you can find a moment

04:18:28.600 --> 04:18:32.120
but I think you need several to try and bring this game back from the brink and

04:18:32.120 --> 04:18:37.000
you're not getting this. Nope. Shaoxi caught out, goes for a bit of a charm but

04:18:37.000 --> 04:18:41.800
is instantaneously knocked down. Game one looking like it's not gonna end with a

04:18:41.800 --> 04:18:46.320
bang or a big explosive fight but the quick pick on the Shaoxi, GCC can

04:18:46.320 --> 04:18:51.480
bounce a greater defense but it's just gonna be so difficult with as the arm

04:18:51.480 --> 04:18:53.680
guard as you highlighted, Jose de Oro, fearlessly running

04:18:53.680 --> 04:18:56.120
face first into this tower, which might get a little bit

04:18:56.120 --> 04:18:57.120
punished.

04:18:57.120 --> 04:18:59.880
But again, still has the GA from the previous fight,

04:18:59.880 --> 04:19:02.720
quit hovering off onto the side, good initial CC, locked out.

04:19:02.720 --> 04:19:05.080
My husband taking away desperate to get over the wall,

04:19:05.080 --> 04:19:07.360
flipping back, but the ulti coming in from core

04:19:07.360 --> 04:19:09.200
denies the curtain call.

04:19:09.200 --> 04:19:12.680
Ulti from Yon connects, pop down able to escape for a moment.

04:19:12.680 --> 04:19:13.840
So still in trouble.

04:19:13.840 --> 04:19:18.200
It's a little bit messy TL trying to shepherd DCG in,

04:19:18.200 --> 04:19:20.560
but DCG holding the line for now.

04:19:20.560 --> 04:19:23.160
Still, I mean, even with this team, Liquid kind of just get to reset

04:19:23.160 --> 04:19:24.660
and then go for the Baron in a minute 20.

04:19:24.660 --> 04:19:27.960
So the waves are still pushed in, those super creeps still doing work.

04:19:28.560 --> 04:19:31.660
So even though it's a little messy, I think it's still just kind of like a stop gap

04:19:31.860 --> 04:19:33.460
until we get towards that Baron.

04:19:33.460 --> 04:19:34.760
Certainly is.

04:19:34.760 --> 04:19:37.160
And yeah, quid. Absolutely terrifying, right?

04:19:37.160 --> 04:19:40.860
Quiet start up against the Cassio kind of as you expect in lane at 6-0-1 now.

04:19:41.660 --> 04:19:45.260
Almost a 3K gold lead empowered further by Morgan upgrading the

04:19:45.760 --> 04:19:50.060
the death cap into whatever the greater adjectives of the game.

04:19:50.060 --> 04:19:56.160
Yeah, do they even get names though? Um, I used to know them because medic

04:19:56.780 --> 04:19:58.620
Was really weird and competitive about yeah

04:19:58.620 --> 04:20:01.480
I think they got rid of them when they like

04:20:02.220 --> 04:20:08.220
Like you just got a thousand go stops. Yeah, I think it was death crown. Yeah, but that doesn't feel like an upgrade of a hat

04:20:08.220 --> 04:20:13.160
There has to be a better hat word crown feels like its own article of hats. Yeah

04:20:14.700 --> 04:20:19.740
But I mean even the fancy hats are just kind of like top pots. We didn't really work on the hot

04:20:19.740 --> 04:20:21.740
No, no no no no no no. No, you know

04:20:21.740 --> 04:20:23.740
Rabadon's top hat. It doesn't even

04:20:26.940 --> 04:20:28.940
Rabadon's murder top hat

04:20:28.940 --> 04:20:30.940
It doesn't really as well as the top hat

04:20:30.940 --> 04:20:36.860
I see. I see. Maybe we do need writers. Maybe that is an important thing to have for me

04:20:38.860 --> 04:20:40.860
Maybe there's something to be said for that

04:20:41.740 --> 04:20:43.740
Now uh

04:20:43.740 --> 04:20:48.240
Whatever he has in his inventory, whatever has been empowered, it's given him a hell

04:20:48.240 --> 04:20:49.240
of a lot of HP.

04:20:49.240 --> 04:20:55.080
In the previous fight he looks very smiffy.

04:20:55.080 --> 04:20:59.800
Why a ninja needs a hat beyond me, but looks damn good and it is.

04:20:59.800 --> 04:21:02.960
We're just hoving around lurking.

04:21:02.960 --> 04:21:07.960
And the Baron now going to fall, DCG again just pushed so far back in, the inhibitor

04:21:07.960 --> 04:21:11.960
is half now respawned, so it just makes for an easy setup for TL, no contests for DCG.

04:21:11.960 --> 04:21:16.160
They do poke their heads in just to see if there might be an angle.

04:21:16.160 --> 04:21:19.560
Now here in this red bull Baron power play, likely at the final of the game,

04:21:19.560 --> 04:21:21.460
nearly a 9,000 lead for Team Liquid.

04:21:21.460 --> 04:21:24.760
The first 10 minutes of the game, incredibly scrappy,

04:21:24.760 --> 04:21:29.460
non-caught-out, some really good angles of attack in that first play on the bottom side of TL's jungle.

04:21:29.460 --> 04:21:32.960
But after that, it has really been the TL show from start to finish.

04:21:32.960 --> 04:21:36.360
And while we're just about at the finish, is for now in trouble,

04:21:36.360 --> 04:21:38.760
Shousey going to full commit, Hoga Diro immediately goes over the wall,

04:21:38.760 --> 04:21:40.960
looks to turn the play on the headcourt, buys himself an extra second,

04:21:40.960 --> 04:21:43.520
Very likely to still burn in the equalizer, however.

04:21:43.520 --> 04:21:44.280
Does get knocked down.

04:21:44.280 --> 04:21:46.200
Pop9 going to drop to Yon off to the side

04:21:46.200 --> 04:21:47.320
of the meantime bump.

04:21:47.320 --> 04:21:50.840
The only one left standing as far back as he possibly can.

04:21:50.840 --> 04:21:52.760
But I don't even know if the fountain can save him.

04:21:52.760 --> 04:21:55.800
Team Liquid, the victory march down the middle lane.

04:21:55.800 --> 04:21:56.840
Yon flash forward.

04:21:56.840 --> 04:22:00.240
The all-D quids jumps in to steal the kill.

04:22:00.240 --> 04:22:01.880
12k advantage.

04:22:01.880 --> 04:22:05.840
Team Liquid fired up in day two.

04:22:05.840 --> 04:22:07.920
It was 50 cuffs in the early stages,

04:22:07.920 --> 04:22:15.320
But DCG just kind of ran out of steam as Team Liquid looking confident in that midgame to take down DCG in Game 1.

04:22:16.120 --> 04:22:17.320
That they were.

04:22:17.820 --> 04:22:20.820
DCG sent back to the drawing board, had some of that productivity.

04:22:20.820 --> 04:22:25.020
See if they can amp it up another level as we get ready for game 2 and we send it over to our analysts.

04:22:28.220 --> 04:22:29.720
Thank you very much guys.

04:22:29.720 --> 04:22:30.920
Yeah, there you go.

04:22:30.920 --> 04:22:32.420
That is what you needed here.

04:22:32.420 --> 04:22:36.120
Our NA boys on the desk feeling a lot of bullying on the board, baby.

04:22:36.120 --> 04:22:43.360
It was a lot of victory's that built up to the big one here for team liquid alien where they are up

04:22:43.960 --> 04:22:45.960
Zero

04:22:48.560 --> 04:22:50.560
I feel way worse

04:22:59.240 --> 04:23:01.240
Yeah

04:23:01.240 --> 04:23:20.240
I mean honestly though I was a little bit tiny worried at the very beginning when Jin overstayed in the river and we still tried to take that little skirmish fight and then you know they chased us down and got a couple extra kills but not super nervous.

04:23:20.240 --> 04:23:22.240
That was a slow start, a slow start for sure.

04:23:22.240 --> 04:23:24.240
Yeah, let's start with a couple of these fights.

04:23:24.240 --> 04:23:25.240
This one right here actually.

04:23:25.240 --> 04:23:26.240
Oh god we have to see it?

04:23:26.240 --> 04:23:28.240
That's exactly what we were talking about.

04:23:28.240 --> 04:23:35.240
So there's a cost for this. Yes, we see the kills on screen and everything, but Jhin overstayed to do that and Jan was pushing bottom lane.

04:23:35.240 --> 04:23:39.240
So Jan does end up with this big CS lead for the Varus.

04:23:39.240 --> 04:23:44.240
And that's going to be the consolation for that invade.

04:23:44.240 --> 04:23:50.240
Of course then, Pop9 still returns because he got level 6 really quick into this game because of those early kills.

04:23:50.240 --> 04:23:52.240
And so he returned bottom and still got the actual one.

04:23:52.240 --> 04:23:58.680
I think it was cool to see though. This was more of the DCG we expected with that level of aggression and always looking for these kills

04:23:58.960 --> 04:24:02.460
That pek fine gaze there as well massive turn that play around

04:24:02.460 --> 04:24:06.160
That's why I was genuinely concerned for team looker because a lot of the skirmishers

04:24:06.160 --> 04:24:10.680
I felt like DCG was on the same page for even this fight in particular

04:24:10.680 --> 04:24:12.920
I thought rumble coming in pretty clutch like flashing

04:24:13.560 --> 04:24:18.080
Get another kill on Jose Di Odo. In terms of the same page. It's just a pamphlet. There's only one page

04:24:18.080 --> 04:24:21.080
That's how you stay in the same page.

04:24:21.080 --> 04:24:24.080
Straight consistent. That's what you like to see from DCG.

04:24:24.080 --> 04:24:29.080
I will say from Team Liquid's side, the fight that kind of blew the game open was that Herald fight.

04:24:29.080 --> 04:24:34.080
And I wanted to talk about it a little bit here because it kind of gave you a reason why they prioritized Team Liquid.

04:24:34.080 --> 04:24:41.080
Prioritizes Akali so much. Because as you can see, like, yeah, a slight, a slight goal lead that is there for DCG.

04:24:41.080 --> 04:24:46.080
And a TP that's coming through from Florin. And the goal is basically to be able to threaten the flank.

04:24:46.080 --> 04:24:50.740
Yon is going to be there, Cordray J essentially, and like Pop9 does poke his head and we can start to play immediately.

04:24:50.740 --> 04:24:56.840
He comes in with an opportunity to look for a smite fight, but then immediately the TP is going to be the biggest threat for Pop9.

04:24:56.840 --> 04:25:00.580
Because he does want to commit to this fight, and Florin with the shield does want to look for the fight.

04:25:00.580 --> 04:25:09.380
But then immediately Quid goes straight into the backline, and I really like this play from him, because as we start to see it, 1, 2, 3, go!

04:25:09.380 --> 04:25:14.980
Suddenly, yes, ShaoSi initially tried to find and engage on Jose Diodo, but then has to peel back for Feng.

04:25:14.980 --> 04:25:18.820
So like, Fung, Hongsuo, now your goal is to try and keep them alive.

04:25:18.820 --> 04:25:24.100
So while they're trying to do this entirely, now Rumble backs away, he's kind of cooked.

04:25:24.100 --> 04:25:27.540
And then all of Team Liquid then look towards the Jarvan.

04:25:27.540 --> 04:25:30.020
So let's just play this through to see what ends up happening here.

04:25:30.020 --> 04:25:35.620
Nice to be able to see them, buy as much time and humanly possible to try to protect Fung, yes.

04:25:35.620 --> 04:25:40.420
And so it just turns into a play that DCG was initiating, but gets completely deconstructed.

04:25:40.420 --> 04:25:43.380
And I feel like the timing and decision making from Quid was so good.

04:25:43.380 --> 04:25:48.340
They're going in just as my ass comes out Susan get pinned down and alting down alting away

04:25:48.340 --> 04:25:53.060
Sorry after the shroud runs out. It was just sort of perfectly playing his role in a fight

04:25:53.060 --> 04:25:58.620
It was almost kind of comical you could play you could hear the music because there's two people with sweepers trying to

04:25:59.460 --> 04:26:02.660
And it just runs the circle around

04:26:04.260 --> 04:26:08.980
Everything to and is able to to have a pretty big fight for the rest of the game

04:26:08.980 --> 04:26:13.740
but like Huntsville was trying to find an effective ulti about Jose Diodo and Quid

04:26:13.740 --> 04:26:17.200
were really good at being able to play a patient game around it so I thought

04:26:17.200 --> 04:26:21.820
that was a good part. That being said that early game was still too close for

04:26:21.820 --> 04:26:26.500
my liking. Yeah but it's good to know that hey Jose Diodo MVP candidate able

04:26:26.500 --> 04:26:31.360
to pick up smites and the 2024 LCS spring MVP going back to that form with

04:26:31.360 --> 04:26:35.460
Quid popping off here on the Akali. They just didn't have a good answer for him

04:26:35.460 --> 04:26:36.860
when he comes in with the TP here.

04:26:36.860 --> 04:26:40.200
It was an over commit, but the cleanup is so decisive.

04:26:40.200 --> 04:26:40.700
Yeah.

04:26:40.700 --> 04:26:42.660
And I feel like even though you have things like the Cast

04:26:42.660 --> 04:26:44.460
to appear there with the Maias, but we stopped and see

04:26:44.460 --> 04:26:46.500
a call he picked into it because the mobility,

04:26:46.500 --> 04:26:47.940
and if you're coming in on the flank,

04:26:47.940 --> 04:26:51.940
so hard to prepare for a pick with this many tools.

04:26:51.940 --> 04:26:55.860
Good news for DCG is that that is Quidd's best champion.

04:26:55.860 --> 04:26:56.420
True.

04:26:56.420 --> 04:26:58.820
And so he can't play it again.

04:26:58.820 --> 04:27:01.260
It is also very, very, very powerful on the Yone.

04:27:01.260 --> 04:27:02.340
Yeah, don't get into the Yone.

04:27:02.340 --> 04:27:04.020
And I have pretty good confidence here in TL

04:27:04.020 --> 04:27:10.100
after seeing the first game as well for even if there is a volatile early game and DCG start to get some kills.

04:27:10.100 --> 04:27:17.200
I still am going to have confidence in Team Liquid pulling it back through the mid game, you know, setting up for Dragon Fights, setting up on sidelines.

04:27:17.200 --> 04:27:24.020
That's one thing that happened though in the draft. There were five jungle bands plus the Nautilus, and then the jungle take away.

04:27:24.020 --> 04:27:26.720
It feels like that was the focus here for DCG.

04:27:26.720 --> 04:27:31.700
I think a lot of the plays for DCG have kind of been led by the jungle, so getting Pop9 into a good position.

04:27:31.700 --> 04:27:35.380
I think definitely had a better game today than maybe the series yesterday,

04:27:35.380 --> 04:27:37.300
but still need to see a bit more.

04:27:37.300 --> 04:27:39.300
I like that we're getting the proactivity from them,

04:27:39.300 --> 04:27:43.540
but I still feel like in the mid-game they're kind of losing their heads a little bit on what they wanted to do.

04:27:43.540 --> 04:27:45.380
All right, well, we'll see what happens here.

04:27:45.380 --> 04:27:50.420
Team Liquid, they're able to weather the storm of the early aggression from Relove DCG.

04:27:50.420 --> 04:27:52.420
Let's see what happens in game number two after the break.

04:27:52.420 --> 04:27:54.260
You're watching MSI 2026.

04:28:01.700 --> 04:28:03.700
I got him.

04:28:03.700 --> 04:28:05.700
I got him.

04:28:05.700 --> 04:28:07.700
I got him.

04:28:31.700 --> 04:28:34.940
Tired of the off-season blues once Worlds is over?

04:28:34.940 --> 04:28:40.300
Fear not, because League of Legends is coming to the very first Esports Nations Cup,

04:28:40.300 --> 04:28:44.500
where players split from their clubs and compete for national pride.

04:28:44.500 --> 04:28:47.700
Will China test every women imaginable?

04:28:47.700 --> 04:28:51.700
Will South Korea turn every game into a macro masterclass?

04:28:51.700 --> 04:28:55.200
Will EU and NA actually play in the correct lengths?

04:28:55.200 --> 04:28:58.300
The final event of the year is not to be missed.

04:28:58.300 --> 04:29:02.300
Esports Nation's Cup 2026. See you in Riyadh.

04:29:58.300 --> 04:30:00.300
I

04:30:28.300 --> 04:30:31.140
If I'm like that, I'm the girl

04:30:31.140 --> 04:30:33.020
You can't be like me

04:30:33.020 --> 04:30:35.100
I don't know what you're talking about

04:30:35.100 --> 04:30:37.580
I'm looking at you

04:30:37.580 --> 04:30:41.380
I'm just like you, I'm not gonna be able to

04:30:41.380 --> 04:30:47.780
Look at the time standing in front of you

04:30:47.780 --> 04:30:54.620
You know it's not a dream, because I'm crazy

04:30:54.620 --> 04:30:56.300
I'm just a fit, I'm just a hit

04:30:56.300 --> 04:30:57.820
I'm different from you

04:30:57.820 --> 04:31:00.920
I give up, you can't catch me, this is the end

04:31:00.920 --> 04:31:03.420
The more I go, the more I'll be special

04:31:03.420 --> 04:31:06.920
Now look back at the sea, open up on me

04:31:06.920 --> 04:31:11.520
You and me, we can't get to each other

04:31:11.520 --> 04:31:16.820
I don't know, I don't know, one by one, I'm drunk

04:31:16.820 --> 04:31:19.420
I'm alone, I'm in the ocean

04:31:19.420 --> 04:31:22.220
Definitely got it, I'm not got it

04:31:22.220 --> 04:31:25.420
Oh, you can't like me, I'm so much

04:31:25.420 --> 04:31:28.780
I'm still standing still

04:31:28.780 --> 04:31:32.300
I can't even look at you

04:31:34.300 --> 04:31:37.260
I won't kill it in my mind

04:31:37.260 --> 04:31:40.540
I don't care what you say

04:31:40.540 --> 04:31:42.300
I know my power

04:31:42.300 --> 04:31:46.140
I can't see it in the top of the world

04:31:46.140 --> 04:31:49.260
I follow you, follow me, follow me

04:31:49.260 --> 04:31:51.820
I can't do anything

04:31:51.820 --> 04:31:55.980
I'm blue, I'm blue, I burn, I burn

04:31:55.980 --> 04:31:57.980
I'm blue, I'm blue, I burn

04:31:57.980 --> 04:32:00.700
If I can, I'm the cannon

04:32:00.700 --> 04:32:02.540
Look at me like me

04:32:02.540 --> 04:32:03.980
I'm still far away

04:32:03.980 --> 04:32:07.100
I'm still looking at you

04:32:07.100 --> 04:32:10.780
I'm so nervous, I'm so nervous

04:32:10.780 --> 04:32:15.180
I wanna, my picture world, oh I wanna

04:32:15.180 --> 04:32:17.420
Can you come by and follow me?

04:32:17.420 --> 04:32:20.620
I can, I can't take my eyes off you

04:32:50.620 --> 04:33:04.060
the game. Welcome back to the

04:33:04.060 --> 04:33:06.060
MSI 2026 playoffs here in

04:33:06.060 --> 04:33:08.060
beautiful days on South Korea.

04:33:08.060 --> 04:33:10.060
We just came out of a game one

04:33:10.060 --> 04:33:12.060
that was for the first 10

04:33:12.060 --> 04:33:14.060
minutes incredibly close after

04:33:14.060 --> 04:33:16.060
that, not really at all. DCG

04:33:16.060 --> 04:33:18.060
were pretty heavily dismantled

04:33:18.060 --> 04:33:20.060
by Team Liquid. And as we go into

04:33:20.060 --> 04:33:23.900
Tempered a little bit more this time around. Yeah, I think it was

04:33:24.700 --> 04:33:28.240
Cuz we got this like full shit from them to kind of get first go to crap

04:33:28.240 --> 04:33:33.520
And I was like that's a bit crazy and that kind of set up like yarn and actually looking a little bit of a lead and

04:33:33.820 --> 04:33:38.740
Then from that position there was moments where we saw DCG still being able to find success at the top side

04:33:38.780 --> 04:33:43.660
But they kept trying to run through over and over trying to use that lead. Yeah, and I

04:33:44.300 --> 04:33:47.660
Like cheddar to Morgan. I think he played the orange incredibly well in a lot of these team fights

04:33:47.660 --> 04:33:49.900
It's just making it very difficult for them to use up.

04:33:49.900 --> 04:33:50.940
Yeah, it's impressive, right?

04:33:50.940 --> 04:33:52.420
Went up against the Rumble with First Strike,

04:33:52.420 --> 04:33:53.740
who was consistently ahead in gold.

04:33:53.740 --> 04:33:54.980
Doing part to that First Strike,

04:33:54.980 --> 04:33:56.900
but just always felt like he had that bigger impact

04:33:56.900 --> 04:33:59.300
in those crucial, crucial team fights.

04:33:59.300 --> 04:34:01.860
And he was kind of the standout performer yesterday,

04:34:01.860 --> 04:34:03.900
as well, against T1, against Doran,

04:34:03.900 --> 04:34:05.380
winning out in those laning phases,

04:34:05.380 --> 04:34:07.140
really generating individual advantages.

04:34:07.140 --> 04:34:09.700
So see if you can keep that train going.

04:34:10.700 --> 04:34:13.940
But as we get ready for picks and bans,

04:34:13.940 --> 04:34:17.620
I want to see if there's going to be any cooking today.

04:34:17.620 --> 04:34:24.900
because we've the mage bot lane infestation that mr. razzle laplacian promise us has been one single mage

04:34:25.540 --> 04:34:28.340
Yeah, and I don't think that's an attestation pretty good

04:34:28.980 --> 04:34:33.180
Yeah, I think that was awesome. I don't think that is a bot lane infestation

04:34:33.180 --> 04:34:37.140
I think that's mellow is a good chance. So where are my where are my mage is that?

04:34:37.300 --> 04:34:40.100
Yeah, I mean, I think people are gonna start looking at this and go

04:34:40.100 --> 04:34:45.620
Oh, we should probably get on top of this and then that's when we're gonna have the arms race between all the major spot lane

04:34:45.620 --> 04:34:49.340
But it looks like at least the some of these teams haven't quite picked it up just yet

04:34:49.340 --> 04:34:50.580
We'll have to see though as this

04:34:50.580 --> 04:34:53.600
Rows on through in the draft exactly what the game plan is going to be

04:34:54.100 --> 04:34:58.540
Yeah, once again take the buy off the board see if the leasing is going to follow

04:35:00.340 --> 04:35:02.600
Nope, you see you actually ban in the way

04:35:02.600 --> 04:35:07.040
So they're kind of a shared comfort pool here in a lot of ways for pop 9 Jose Diodo which

04:35:07.540 --> 04:35:12.140
If you want them off you got to be willing to take it away from your own jungler

04:35:12.140 --> 04:35:15.280
I mean, we just gonna continue to have this like five jungle bad

04:35:16.040 --> 04:35:19.780
Fun from there. Yeah, I want to see the Bali image infestation

04:35:19.780 --> 04:35:21.980
I'm gonna need all those fans to ship for quality anything

04:35:21.980 --> 04:35:24.220
We're gonna see some weird jungler infestation

04:35:24.220 --> 04:35:28.720
Yeah, I mean things like the trundle and stuff if you do start to dig deep ready to become

04:35:29.420 --> 04:35:35.960
Exceptional so I wonder if that then becomes a part of his nocturne band away like I think we're just gonna continue with this one now

04:35:37.420 --> 04:35:42.040
Hoppy was the last one as well. I respect where it's a Jose de Odo from yesterday

04:35:42.140 --> 04:35:48.140
So maybe that's the plan here again, but again, you could opt in for the trundle into the poppy if that then becomes a party

04:35:48.140 --> 04:35:50.140
So let's see the plan is

04:35:50.900 --> 04:35:52.900
Angle

04:35:53.140 --> 04:35:55.140
Is here beside DCG

04:35:57.020 --> 04:35:58.820
Okay, Orianna

04:35:58.820 --> 04:36:03.300
Of course, we know him for those you know melee more assassin focused champions

04:36:03.300 --> 04:36:08.460
But the Ori did look pretty good for him in playoffs as well and certainly the Orianna and October, but

04:36:08.460 --> 04:36:12.020
But Ryze is going to be the first pick lock-in.

04:36:12.020 --> 04:36:16.740
Ryze has just been relevant for so long and I really thought when they got rid of Phase

04:36:16.740 --> 04:36:21.180
Rush that it would finally be an arrow where we wouldn't see Ryze and I was wrong.

04:36:21.180 --> 04:36:25.180
No, he was just like, I'm going to take Ghost instead of TP and still be fast.

04:36:25.180 --> 04:36:29.460
Still be very, very fast and it turns out the champion who builds, you know, Rola and

04:36:29.460 --> 04:36:31.620
still does a million damage is a good champion.

04:36:31.620 --> 04:36:36.380
It's also when they kind of just made actualizer specifically for him, it feels like he kind

04:36:36.380 --> 04:36:38.380
of is still pretty strong.

04:36:38.380 --> 04:36:45.260
Yeah. Yeah. The actualizer is an interesting item. It might as well just be Ryze exclusive

04:36:45.260 --> 04:36:48.540
in the same way, but like high breeze, you know, fairway. And I'm hearing about it now.

04:36:48.540 --> 04:36:52.140
He was there for a while. Yeah. But on the opposite side, Chelsea getting a pick that

04:36:52.140 --> 04:36:56.020
he's all too familiar with the Nautilus and the Senate going to be locked in for Fungi

04:36:56.020 --> 04:36:59.780
Chase in the bottom side. So I think that he really likes to play aggressive on and

04:36:59.780 --> 04:37:02.820
something that he can set up for pop nine. A lot of these things in the bottom side.

04:37:02.820 --> 04:37:07.020
But I've seen TCG can try and get control there as a team different public than any

04:37:07.020 --> 04:37:13.700
kind of a shadow kind of a flex if you really want to pop it into there because the wall you can't like interrupt the

04:37:13.700 --> 04:37:15.700
Nautilus hook

04:37:18.220 --> 04:37:20.220
Infestation

04:37:21.060 --> 04:37:25.180
One point to rest. Okay. This is the other made this like this to be fair

04:37:25.180 --> 04:37:29.100
I would not consider part of the infestation. This is the other mage besides now

04:37:29.100 --> 04:37:32.380
It is very commonly been played bot lane, but I like this option in the center, right?

04:37:32.380 --> 04:37:33.540
It's kind of a classic choice

04:37:33.540 --> 04:37:39.300
It gives you range gives you wave care gives you so much damage also very good with the Camille if they wanted to go for it

04:37:39.300 --> 04:37:42.980
But maybe not going to be this year for 4 JJ as he's over in the round at the moment

04:37:42.980 --> 04:37:48.900
But Japanese in the campaign high for aggressive alongside that in the lockdown with that Camille ultimate provides a lot for the Zeke's

04:37:48.900 --> 04:37:52.500
And that's what we got Steve like a lot in the LPL and that but gonna go for the rail

04:37:52.500 --> 04:37:57.100
Which does offer still a lock basically something that can group everyone together for that mega inferno

04:37:57.300 --> 04:38:03.220
That it does but now I'm gonna need to see a decent amount of physical damage come out on the side of team liquid

04:38:03.540 --> 04:38:11.540
However, there's no tank on DCG. It's, you know, not as important to be opting for blinding.

04:38:11.540 --> 04:38:16.180
Nor it looks like, with Rooms to support it with double ban in the next phase.

04:38:16.820 --> 04:38:19.460
This is an amazing sign. Whoever made the fist cut out, sorry.

04:38:21.300 --> 04:38:24.820
But still, like, I think if you take the narrow, you still have a loss,

04:38:24.820 --> 04:38:27.620
which you have to try to, I suppose actually, well, Varus is gone,

04:38:27.620 --> 04:38:30.420
Vayne would be kind of the other option. Jace has already taken the lead.

04:38:30.420 --> 04:38:35.220
and maybe you're worried about the Orc, but I suppose Morgan actually doesn't really have a huge amount to hear.

04:38:35.220 --> 04:38:39.700
And then those are the questions, if you do go for kind of that AD topside,

04:38:39.700 --> 04:38:43.220
what to try and take as Jose Dioto in the jungle, because you don't really have a lot of those

04:38:43.220 --> 04:38:48.020
tank junglers that can still do pretty well, and I think you opt in towards someone like the Trundle,

04:38:48.020 --> 04:38:53.220
I think you can help somewhat with the rail for the setup, but I don't think it's as ideal as you would like it to be.

04:38:53.220 --> 04:38:57.860
Yeah, pantheon in the jungle, that's interesting. Can be rough into the center sometimes.

04:38:57.860 --> 04:39:02.120
If she goes into shroud the range on your stun does make it a little difficult to just flick her

04:39:02.780 --> 04:39:07.700
Zyndra also going to be taken away, so don't want to just be outranged in that mid lane matchup

04:39:08.420 --> 04:39:10.540
That's taking the time in the second day in phase

04:39:10.940 --> 04:39:16.300
With the physical damage on the side of Team Liquid in some form or another and just keeping track of how DCG

04:39:16.580 --> 04:39:20.700
Protects his gnar on the top side. Vayne and Yasuo both pretty strong outpins

04:39:20.700 --> 04:39:24.020
They're coming up for it. Morgan did well in the Yasuo matchup against Doran yesterday

04:39:24.020 --> 04:39:25.500
So decided to take that one away

04:39:25.500 --> 04:39:31.280
I still think you can go for things like the Jax though here, so Morgan still has a lot of options in Torzanar on that top side

04:39:31.780 --> 04:39:36.020
And then it just again kind of becomes a focus on what does your posei diodo wants in that jungle?

04:39:36.020 --> 04:39:41.240
Because he does like kind of the things like the Zinza the Lee Sin these kind of playmaking picks

04:39:41.240 --> 04:39:46.020
And but if you want some the ones to synergize to be engaged things like the Jarvan being taken away don't help

04:39:46.700 --> 04:39:48.540
All right now also

04:39:48.540 --> 04:39:52.740
Again another champion who post level 6 has a lot of these really proactive playmaking tools

04:39:52.740 --> 04:39:57.460
whether it's charm flash or your ult and finding those charms. These are things that DCG have shown

04:39:57.460 --> 04:40:02.180
to just be incredibly comfortable on making these snap engages so don't want to give that away.

04:40:02.180 --> 04:40:06.020
I was actually going to say from top 9, I probably take away the quick cone here. I think it synergizes

04:40:06.020 --> 04:40:11.060
incredibly well with an S2Cone and then you kind of remove that other engage option for Jose Di Odo,

04:40:11.060 --> 04:40:14.420
but keeping the jungler hidden here looks like they're just going to opt in towards Atelier,

04:40:14.420 --> 04:40:17.780
which I mean we saw yesterday where it's perfectly fine into the rise and you're

04:40:17.780 --> 04:40:23.820
And also matching the ghost and your good. Yeah. We saw basically this exact same competition or composition

04:40:24.220 --> 04:40:26.800
But it was TL playing it against team one yesterday

04:40:26.800 --> 04:40:33.260
And they were able to find really huge success snowballing the Taliyah early on of course the enemy team was a little bit different as now

04:40:33.980 --> 04:40:36.260
It was a rally and ribbon really would be

04:40:37.620 --> 04:40:40.420
Jax will be yawn you're playing with our heart you can hear

04:40:40.980 --> 04:40:46.100
All the fans in the arena want something spicy. It's pantheon. Okay. Make sense

04:40:46.100 --> 04:40:51.440
Solid jungle option again the point and click pretty comfortable still could be a spice pick also something

04:40:51.440 --> 04:40:54.980
You really don't want to give to the enemy team right you already see to be a you don't want them to have a pantheon

04:40:54.980 --> 04:41:00.680
Alongside I think it's also like when I see a zigz and arise. I'm like oh you probably strong option for 1 3 1

04:41:00.680 --> 04:41:03.740
So something that you try and play towards that is the twisted fate

04:41:03.740 --> 04:41:09.500
So team liquid base the option in towards out a major needs with this pig bro quad long range

04:41:09.660 --> 04:41:11.660
Ultimates is crazy. Yeah

04:41:11.660 --> 04:41:17.660
You have the Ziggs Mega Inferno Bomb, the Rise Grub Warp, the Pantheon coming down from the sky.

04:41:17.660 --> 04:41:21.660
It's not just for Josh. Grand Starfall alongside the Destiny Gate.

04:41:21.660 --> 04:41:25.660
And Olaf is going to be the answer in the jungle.

04:41:25.660 --> 04:41:31.660
Now remember, Olaf did get his Q damage buffed on this patch in terms of damage to monsters.

04:41:31.660 --> 04:41:34.660
So his clear speed will be relatively faster than it was in previous metas.

04:41:34.660 --> 04:41:40.660
But we've really mostly seen this in the top side played by people like Doran as this late game kind of inevitable scaling threat.

04:41:40.660 --> 04:41:47.620
Yeah, I just I have seen junglers coming into the tournament practicing narrow jungle. So that's why I was kind of hoping for a second

04:41:47.700 --> 04:41:51.060
Yeah, there's been a couple of boys that have seen practicing it, but

04:41:51.860 --> 04:41:53.100
Looks like it's not gonna be the case

04:41:53.100 --> 04:41:56.760
But yeah, that's why I wasn't sure if they're gonna swap the narrow into the jungle put the old off top

04:41:56.760 --> 04:41:59.980
But looks like it's not gonna be the case and said they aren't gonna keep the narrow there

04:41:59.980 --> 04:42:05.700
But I mean the old off for essentially a composition that wants to try and keep you up. Hey should have a nice time here

04:42:05.740 --> 04:42:08.940
Should but my number one concern Rob as we get into this game

04:42:08.940 --> 04:42:13.060
is not there will not be enough blood that one there will for sure be enough

04:42:13.060 --> 04:42:20.580
action don has one game in tier one on zigz he played it versus CFO last year

04:42:20.580 --> 04:42:27.460
at first stand another representative of the same region he lost that game and

04:42:27.460 --> 04:42:30.940
so now I believe that there has been the necessary practice to improve that

04:42:30.940 --> 04:42:35.640
level of performance and I don't think that zigz is the most immensely

04:42:35.640 --> 04:42:38.700
complicated champion but I do think it takes a decent amount of mastery and so

04:42:38.700 --> 04:42:44.700
I'm a little bit nervous for what this is going to look like when game one certainly good yesterday

04:42:44.700 --> 04:42:48.500
Not so good. How is he going to fare on something that is most certainly not a comfort pick?

04:42:49.940 --> 04:42:51.940
Yeah, I think his

04:42:52.300 --> 04:42:56.120
Role here is actually very similar to what we saw in the last game, which is like stay safe

04:42:56.580 --> 04:43:01.900
Use your TP to kind of move around the map to where you need to be and just clear waves on mid and kind of left team liquid

04:43:01.900 --> 04:43:07.340
Interactive sidelines, so I think this is where we're going to continue to see like quit and Morgan be the focus for out of this game

04:43:07.340 --> 04:43:15.140
And I wonder if you do get Courage AJ really starting to exit bot lane early and start to roam around to try and facilitate that because you've so much

04:43:15.140 --> 04:43:21.860
Set up with boat quit and Morgan up to get towards those ghosts to try and play around like a room prison or a gold card

04:43:21.860 --> 04:43:23.860
You know either these solo lanes

04:43:23.860 --> 04:43:27.580
We'll see how quickly pop down is able to clear the jungle here

04:43:27.580 --> 04:43:33.820
Keep an eye on the early jungle pathing team liquid have set up in every single one of their lanes for this pantheon

04:43:33.820 --> 04:43:38.820
So really need to make sure that Jose Dio is not able to run away with this early game

04:43:38.820 --> 04:43:44.460
Yeah, I don't forget pop 9 or the Olaf did guess that both in the jungle as well towards that monster clear. So

04:43:46.540 --> 04:43:50.520
We're going in nice trading here yon landing missur abilities

04:43:51.020 --> 04:43:54.180
Yeah, I mean, I don't think you're gonna be locked a lot of kill pressure level one here

04:43:54.180 --> 04:43:59.660
But the arcane commas and that bomb gonna be doing a lot of work as well in the early stages here for yon

04:43:59.660 --> 04:44:04.740
If you just continue to get that poke it's kind of when you opt in towards like level four level five if you've

04:44:05.180 --> 04:44:08.380
Successfully landed some of that early damage like we're seeing at the moment

04:44:08.380 --> 04:44:10.460
You can really look for that kill pressure with the satchel

04:44:10.460 --> 04:44:13.500
I'll block down is there level two going first in the favor of DCG

04:44:13.500 --> 04:44:17.380
However, yawn able to consistently land these bouncing bombs he'll now coming out. That's the satchel start

04:44:17.380 --> 04:44:20.100
Shausi knocked back core trying to block any potential hook escape

04:44:20.100 --> 04:44:23.380
Shausi is going to be forced to flash over the wall does manage to make it out

04:44:23.780 --> 04:44:27.340
So he'll trade it for the heel and the flash very positive exchange

04:44:27.340 --> 04:44:30.460
Pantene in that bottom side though. I think he's looking for the play on Chelsea here.

04:44:35.340 --> 04:44:39.580
Oh, Chelsea not stepping up far enough, so just going to look for the reset.

04:44:39.580 --> 04:44:42.780
Oh, cancels it though. I don't know if diving the tower is it though?

04:44:43.340 --> 04:44:46.460
Is it the other? Not sure how much time is left on the aftershock. Aftershock has already fallen away.

04:44:46.460 --> 04:44:48.620
Chelsea's now going to be in trouble immediately. Pimp for both of you.

04:44:48.620 --> 04:44:53.180
Corp flawlessly tanking the tower. A nice first blood dive coming in from Team Liquid.

04:44:53.180 --> 04:44:56.860
Yeah, great job by Corp JJ. How's the shattering strike to remove the shield from Chelsea?

04:44:56.860 --> 04:45:01.380
and gets away from underneath the tower before any of that real CC can land.

04:45:01.380 --> 04:45:07.380
As he does, we'll just get to pushing this wave, reset, pick up an early tier if you'd like to,

04:45:07.380 --> 04:45:10.880
and this is exactly what you want to see him liquid in this early stage.

04:45:10.880 --> 04:45:12.320
That it is.

04:45:12.320 --> 04:45:16.720
So the mid lane is able to get a little bit more pride on the second he knows that Jose isn't in the area.

04:45:16.720 --> 04:45:21.420
Confidence to step up and pop 9, starting to run away in terms of jungle clear speed, right?

04:45:21.420 --> 04:45:25.220
Got the full clear, because he did spend a lot of time in the bottom lane,

04:45:25.220 --> 04:45:27.460
But the kill really more than makes up for the difference.

04:45:30.260 --> 04:45:31.940
Eyes on Pop9 though as he moves down.

04:45:31.940 --> 04:45:35.860
Gonna be looking just for the Scuttle Crab,

04:45:35.860 --> 04:45:38.020
but wasn't sure if he's just gonna reset after a little bit more.

04:45:38.020 --> 04:45:40.340
Because he already has his reset come through.

04:45:40.340 --> 04:45:44.060
So an opportunity to kind of support DCG on this bottom side.

04:45:44.060 --> 04:45:45.500
But looks like he's just gonna back away,

04:45:45.500 --> 04:45:48.460
is trying to make sure one can push in this wave.

04:45:49.580 --> 04:45:50.580
No.

04:45:50.580 --> 04:45:51.740
Going back in the way.

04:45:51.740 --> 04:45:52.780
Saw that briefly on the side.

04:45:52.780 --> 04:45:53.780
Of course, quotes coming out.

04:45:53.780 --> 04:45:56.620
TL social media feeling good about the smites from those do the auto in the

04:45:56.620 --> 04:45:58.900
previous game probably feeling pretty good about the first blood as well the

04:45:58.900 --> 04:46:07.340
pop nine is gonna get this invade on the Raptors and Olaf will be a problem at

04:46:07.340 --> 04:46:10.660
some point he's gonna be a fast boy does not have the luxury of having the

04:46:10.660 --> 04:46:15.460
ghosts though it does have a lot of support tools though like when you look

04:46:15.460 --> 04:46:19.980
towards the center like the shield the heels are all absolutely exceptional and

04:46:19.980 --> 04:46:23.580
you've got a lot of lockdown that can come through so especially pop nine can

04:46:23.580 --> 04:46:26.820
pick up some early kills I think that would be where DCG would be very happy

04:46:26.820 --> 04:46:31.020
with the way things are going but for the moment Team Liquid keeping their

04:46:31.020 --> 04:46:34.620
control over this top side I think they would like to look for an invade on

04:46:34.620 --> 04:46:38.220
towards the Raptors to answer for the steal the Pop9 already has but you just

04:46:38.220 --> 04:46:41.540
don't really have to push and control over me to do so. No and good timing

04:46:41.540 --> 04:46:47.060
they shall push out as the Raptors respawn in favor of DCG and as the

04:46:47.060 --> 04:46:51.980
waves reset Pop9 already in position to grab that Raptor camp so again a game

04:46:51.980 --> 04:46:54.980
Some small advantages thus far, really the only big thing to happen is that kill in the

04:46:54.980 --> 04:46:58.900
bottom lane as well as steadily growing CS lead in the jungle.

04:46:58.900 --> 04:47:01.620
But what we've seen traditionally is that Team Liquid are more than happy to go for

04:47:01.620 --> 04:47:02.820
these slower pace games, right?

04:47:02.820 --> 04:47:04.900
They know that given to- Oh, hi, man!

04:47:04.900 --> 04:47:06.460
Flash in, looking for a little bit more lockup.

04:47:06.460 --> 04:47:08.940
Fong is able to make his way out.

04:47:08.940 --> 04:47:12.380
Expulsive minefield does some good return damage, but a lot of some straight-out getting

04:47:12.380 --> 04:47:15.460
double sums out of Fong is massive for any potential follow-up dives.

04:47:15.460 --> 04:47:19.580
Yeah, this Team Liquid bot lane lookalike well-practiced on this pick, like really understanding the

04:47:19.580 --> 04:47:23.260
value that you can get with this Satchel charge. Setting up nerdy for CoreJJ there.

04:47:23.260 --> 04:47:26.540
I know, do we just get a rinse and repeat? A dive once again?

04:47:27.860 --> 04:47:31.500
Step in there, no one is in the area. Hong's gonna be in trouble.

04:47:32.220 --> 04:47:36.540
In bow from Jose Diodo, continuing to stack the passive here. MortalSphere ready to go.

04:47:36.540 --> 04:47:39.020
A little bit more damage. Flash forward, continuing to push in.

04:47:39.580 --> 04:47:42.780
Now, Vicky wants to go any further than this, but just zoning them off the tower.

04:47:43.740 --> 04:47:47.340
And now looking for the catch-out. Quid finding the lock-up. The trap has been set,

04:47:47.340 --> 04:47:49.720
And Hongzu falls right into him, maybe he can get something back.

04:47:49.720 --> 04:47:52.980
Jose Diodo walking away as Pop9 is determined to get a kill back in exchange.

04:47:52.980 --> 04:47:56.040
One for one thus far, but Shaoxi is running his quick ghosts into the fight.

04:47:56.820 --> 04:47:58.820
Bunking the kill onto Jose Diodo.

04:48:01.620 --> 04:48:05.720
Pop9 very close to level 60. He can get towards the wave though, but Fung has been isolated.

04:48:05.720 --> 04:48:08.980
He has, no sums left. Make this an easy dive to pull off.

04:48:08.980 --> 04:48:14.140
Core gonna grab the kill, maybe not ideal, but TL still happy to deny even more resources away.

04:48:14.140 --> 04:48:17.220
Lockup on the quit is good, but it just turns his back.

04:48:17.220 --> 04:48:21.500
Chelsea! He did the math but he did it wrong!

04:48:21.500 --> 04:48:26.740
Yeah, it's kind of twice we see Chelsea go for some nonless hooks that are a bit questionable

04:48:26.740 --> 04:48:30.820
as he ends up going down on that one. I think he'll I believe as well which makes it even

04:48:30.820 --> 04:48:35.980
more unfortunate but Team Liquid punishing through this bottom side. Jose Aydoto going

04:48:35.980 --> 04:48:40.340
a little bit too far here with the flash forward like didn't even have like an empowered Q

04:48:40.340 --> 04:48:43.980
was maybe hoping he could get a few auto attacks to get there especially with CoreJJ trying

04:48:43.980 --> 04:48:50.980
to support him, but it does mean that with Pop9 arriving and he gets isolated thanks to Weaver's Wall, he ends up falling for Han Solo.

04:48:50.980 --> 04:48:56.980
And at this stage, I think for DCG, you're kind of almost happy with the way things have gone because you at least get the trade back.

04:48:56.980 --> 04:49:02.980
But it's then with Pop9 not supporting Fong to go towards the tower and pick up the wave, it goes back for Quidd.

04:49:02.980 --> 04:49:06.980
Backing up. Did it see him burn Flash in the previous fight, so maybe open to get a little bit more.

04:49:06.980 --> 04:49:08.980
Yon connecting on the bouncing bomb, one more empowered.

04:49:08.980 --> 04:49:11.980
Oh, doesn't quite get it! The Q through for healing.

04:49:11.980 --> 04:49:13.460
Has it played by Fong?

04:49:13.460 --> 04:49:18.160
They're on racing towards level 6, but it's going to take a little bit too much time. Recall will come through.

04:49:18.660 --> 04:49:22.260
Still should be able to get some decent damage on this tower, and Ziggs,

04:49:22.260 --> 04:49:24.820
very good when he gets him alone time with these turrets.

04:49:24.820 --> 04:49:27.860
Chelsea, going to come down and try and clear out the wave a little bit, but

04:49:27.860 --> 04:49:34.460
this is still an incredible bot side play from Gene Likman, constantly getting this pressure against DCG.

04:49:37.300 --> 04:49:38.800
Alright, we look back.

04:49:39.580 --> 04:49:41.580
I cannot see what the number was.

04:49:41.580 --> 04:49:43.580
But I can't see the reaction there it is

04:49:45.340 --> 04:49:48.700
One HP looks like what yon said a little bit frustrated

04:49:49.740 --> 04:49:54.100
Still full control of the bottom side of the map and being around the top lane Morgan keeping the CS close

04:49:54.100 --> 04:49:58.020
But definitely not the gold close fun fact. I was talking about yawn only having played one zigzag game

04:49:58.220 --> 04:50:01.780
This is Morgan's first ever TFP

04:50:03.100 --> 04:50:07.420
What was his first time on y'all so yesterday's this man is just casually first-timing champion

04:50:07.420 --> 04:50:12.280
What happened like at MSI? I looked at Morgan over the course spares like I'm gonna he's going on tank duty

04:50:12.280 --> 04:50:14.640
He's got my weak side. They're gonna play elsewhere on the map

04:50:14.640 --> 04:50:20.920
We heard rumors from our colleagues in the LCS of Lord Morgan the man who was allowed to dominate Lane

04:50:20.920 --> 04:50:24.120
And we said there's no way we'll see that man. We'll say tank duty Morgan

04:50:24.120 --> 04:50:29.800
Yeah, the Lord has returned on the top side again right right now. It's just a small goal deed

04:50:31.000 --> 04:50:36.820
Due to the crime of counterfeiting money, but later I believe it will likely continue to grow his core

04:50:36.820 --> 04:50:39.940
Finds a quick engage, that's the ulti coming in, the destiny.

04:50:39.940 --> 04:50:41.740
Chowsy now in trouble.

04:50:41.740 --> 04:50:43.940
But Morgan of course, still just on the top side of the map,

04:50:43.940 --> 04:50:45.700
he's going to get back to lane.

04:50:45.700 --> 04:50:47.060
You're meant to lose your wallet.

04:50:47.060 --> 04:50:48.580
Chowsy's only level 4.

04:50:48.580 --> 04:50:49.220
Yeah.

04:50:49.220 --> 04:50:51.140
They're getting proxied.

04:50:51.140 --> 04:50:55.940
Pop9 is getting so much, but his gold, he does only 25.

04:50:55.940 --> 04:50:58.260
It's a 20 jungle CS-ly, but it's just so fake

04:50:58.260 --> 04:51:01.300
because his bot lane is paying entire waves.

04:51:01.300 --> 04:51:03.620
And you're also getting nothing on the map elsewhere, right?

04:51:03.620 --> 04:51:12.620
My floor is just recessed, and even though you've got the topside objective, you end up going for the reset as well, like, yeah, it's a disaster class for DCG.

04:51:13.620 --> 04:51:24.620
This is a nightmare. Also, 15 souls long wall past the threshold, even on the new patch where the drop rate is notably lower, and Yon just continues to chip, chip, chip away.

04:51:24.620 --> 04:51:29.620
And while Pop9 has finally arrived, he ain't got no boots.

04:51:29.620 --> 04:51:33.620
Yeah, he can't. I don't think he can run yawn down.

04:51:33.620 --> 04:51:36.620
I don't think yet you're ever getting close to either.

04:51:36.620 --> 04:51:40.620
Like, this is kind of the joys of Ziggs is that you're two screens away

04:51:40.620 --> 04:51:42.620
and you throw down some bomb and walk off.

04:51:42.620 --> 04:51:44.620
This is a...

04:51:44.620 --> 04:51:46.620
This is a Tuffy.

04:51:46.620 --> 04:51:50.620
Yeah, thank you, Tuffy. I was looking for the right word. We'll go with Tuffy.

04:51:50.620 --> 04:51:57.900
And it's also like again, I just because there was so much hyper and DCG going in and obviously it is tough for this team

04:51:57.900 --> 04:52:04.500
Right you're coming in especially when you've had CFO that represents the region in the past and you're kind of taking those slots in the LCP and

04:52:04.700 --> 04:52:06.700
And you've got just had this

04:52:06.940 --> 04:52:12.760
Incredible performance of going straight from the PCS into the LCP promotion into now going to

04:52:13.020 --> 04:52:16.380
Internationals you kind of want to show what you're capable of on that main stage

04:52:16.380 --> 04:52:20.220
But unfortunately like this young team hasn't quite been able to find the same success

04:52:20.220 --> 04:52:23.740
They have domestic and I think it's one of the hardest things about being a new face

04:52:24.460 --> 04:52:28.900
When you go to international competition, right? It's often times if you aren't dominant domestically

04:52:29.420 --> 04:52:31.980
You know whether it's through mechanics or macro play

04:52:31.980 --> 04:52:39.060
It's really hard to transition those things to a bigger stage against you know a larger pool of opponents against stronger overall

04:52:39.340 --> 04:52:41.580
Competition and we can see that has been a struggle for DCG

04:52:41.580 --> 04:52:47.580
They play with that same fire, with that same confidence, and half the time it works out just as well as it did domestically.

04:52:47.580 --> 04:52:52.580
And the other half of the time, the enemy team is much more ready to punish than a lot of their domestic competition were.

04:52:52.580 --> 04:52:59.580
And I think that's the main point for me, is like, consistently refining Team Liquid are kind of edging them out on the play first.

04:52:59.580 --> 04:53:04.580
It's, hey, we're already playing ganking bot lane because we saw Pop9 go towards top lane.

04:53:04.580 --> 04:53:07.580
We have vision control that lets us know exactly where Pop9 is.

04:53:07.580 --> 04:53:11.860
They don't and they may not spot Hong-Soul though. So maybe this is their moments

04:53:11.860 --> 04:53:14.180
But you can see the second the pop 9s on vision

04:53:14.620 --> 04:53:20.180
They back away flash and chassis goes to the lockup pop 9 now chasing in as a theater already for any exes also

04:53:20.180 --> 04:53:22.580
We can't pocket any default damage. It looks like he is just going to fall down with the flash

04:53:22.580 --> 04:53:27.300
Just barely take him out. No the center holds across the top bong reading the play of the escape route

04:53:27.620 --> 04:53:29.620
Locks him down and gets a kill for himself

04:53:30.020 --> 04:53:36.060
Hong-Soul hiding in the back line manages to get there with the weavers wall and turn that play even the vision as well

04:53:36.060 --> 04:53:40.500
Well, Jose Diodo not realizing that he was stuck on a ward will be a little bit of a

04:53:40.500 --> 04:53:44.860
wave loss in mid lane, but a massive swing in control of that bottom lane.

04:53:44.860 --> 04:53:50.080
And it was just barely able to grab the kill, but even despite the CS deficit means the

04:53:50.080 --> 04:53:56.300
fun has that slight slight gold lead, a few more souls just now taking over to 20.

04:53:56.300 --> 04:54:03.420
Of course, Yon already has the Ludens done, so still not easy to trade, but the scaling

04:54:03.420 --> 04:54:06.420
With enough time and enough souls, anything is possible.

04:54:06.420 --> 04:54:12.700
Still, Team Liquid having the panthenotum available means that DCG can't actually commit for much after this.

04:54:12.700 --> 04:54:16.220
For now, trying to see if we can keep Morgan off, but here comes Blitz.

04:54:16.220 --> 04:54:20.820
Moving his way into the top lane, everybody's invited to this particular party.

04:54:20.820 --> 04:54:26.420
That's going to be three semi-globals committed just to make sure that little yordle goes right back to the base.

04:54:26.420 --> 04:54:30.420
Yeah, I mean, that was a little unfortunate for Brorn.

04:54:30.420 --> 04:54:37.320
And I'm managing to get two of them out of the equation, but the late arrival of Morgan that was feeling the feel like an unnecessary

04:54:37.960 --> 04:54:42.600
escalation of violence like they were talking smack back and forth somebody just stabbed it like all right, bro

04:54:43.600 --> 04:54:47.620
We escalated a little quickly there, but now the towers also falling on the bottom side

04:54:47.620 --> 04:54:53.060
So whenever the proverb is about having cake and eating it to team liquid are most certainly doing that

04:54:53.060 --> 04:54:55.060
I honestly I think they found a second cake

04:54:56.700 --> 04:54:58.700
Yeah

04:55:00.420 --> 04:55:04.940
There, Portal could never, you know, they had gotten all out here.

04:55:04.940 --> 04:55:07.420
This cake is absolutely certifiably true.

04:55:07.420 --> 04:55:08.420
This is some true cake.

04:55:08.420 --> 04:55:09.420
There are no lies here.

04:55:09.420 --> 04:55:17.900
If I'm going to do what he can, right, but it's already in a pretty dire situation.

04:55:17.900 --> 04:55:19.180
We are seeing the Olaf.

04:55:19.180 --> 04:55:23.620
You can see some of the potential of what it could do when running this composition down,

04:55:23.620 --> 04:55:27.100
all that CC, all that damage, if it's not enough to burst through his health bar.

04:55:27.100 --> 04:55:33.240
I just don't know if DCG are gonna have time to get to that point and without a ghost on the Olaf flash makes it easier to

04:55:33.240 --> 04:55:37.180
See objectives for sure, but it's just gonna be really hard to keep up with a lot of these targets

04:55:37.680 --> 04:55:39.680
Yeah, I think it's if they are

04:55:40.180 --> 04:55:45.760
Homily new as well like because they've got this lead it makes it significantly more difficult for the Olaf to survive it

04:55:45.760 --> 04:55:49.200
Right because on the flip side even though it is a lot of squishies

04:55:49.200 --> 04:55:55.480
The squishies deal an awful lot of damage and if you can't close that cap effectively because your teams behind it kind of

04:55:55.480 --> 04:56:02.080
It just becomes a big lackluster and as well like Olaf definitely kind of wants to three items before it becomes that real

04:56:02.080 --> 04:56:07.160
I'm just gonna run through everyone and not care. And as you say like I just don't feel like DCG or good

04:56:07.920 --> 04:56:09.920
Yeah, it's a little bit tricky

04:56:09.920 --> 04:56:12.120
Obviously always something that they have in their back pocket

04:56:12.120 --> 04:56:16.220
But it feels like it's a similar story to the center scaling where you can see the angle

04:56:16.220 --> 04:56:18.720
You can understand how it could be powerful

04:56:18.760 --> 04:56:22.740
But getting to that point in the game getting the position where maybe you can get an Olaf on the flank

04:56:22.740 --> 04:56:29.080
It's just a really tough thing to do. Yonk playing more to the topside. Nice satchel back. Flash away from the flick.

04:56:29.080 --> 04:56:31.320
They'll well play Fahamzu to force out that summoner spell.

04:56:32.460 --> 04:56:39.060
Fortunately, a lot of resources committed. DCG must immediately scuttle back to their respective lanes here because you've already got a wave being

04:56:39.060 --> 04:56:40.860
crashed on the topside by Quid.

04:56:40.860 --> 04:56:42.860
Yeah, and I think this is where

04:56:42.940 --> 04:56:45.980
DCG are kind of playing for the next dragon fight.

04:56:45.980 --> 04:56:50.940
You know, you got 245 until that comes up and available and burning somebody's summer spells can't help those,

04:56:50.940 --> 04:56:56.860
Especially because it would be third dragon for DCG if they can get us if they can get cloud soul

04:56:57.540 --> 04:57:03.700
Everything I have said yeah, and we have said about Olaf being this being hard gets a hell of a lot of these are

04:57:04.500 --> 04:57:09.440
He gets ghost for free now for at least a couple of seconds if you able to get that far

04:57:10.100 --> 04:57:12.540
And I do think this is where there is a question of like

04:57:13.500 --> 04:57:15.500
I'm gonna take

04:57:15.500 --> 04:57:21.260
Reload DCG out of the equation here, but there is a world where you could play away from dragons

04:57:21.260 --> 04:57:26.460
And you could try and like get more gold as your size lanes and like let team make would have that you know dragon

04:57:26.460 --> 04:57:28.460
Remember, but when it's

04:57:28.540 --> 04:57:31.380
Reload deep boss gaming you turn off pain. Yes

04:57:31.380 --> 04:57:36.300
Yes, if you turn off the name plates and ignore what you know about this team and the way they like to play the game

04:57:36.300 --> 04:57:38.300
There might be an alternative path

04:57:38.340 --> 04:57:45.100
But they don't go over they don't go under and they certainly don't go around they go through that is the only option

04:57:45.500 --> 04:57:50.660
And it does get them into trouble sometimes, but it might not this time for a very nice flank here

04:57:50.900 --> 04:57:56.260
The rage bar starting to fade away and a jump in on the hosade here to immediate flash follow flip back on the hose

04:57:56.260 --> 04:58:00.000
A means no smite in the area nice pick into instantaneous rip tailed as a good look

04:58:00.000 --> 04:58:03.900
But again Morgan already pushing in the bot lane tier 2, so it's not free

04:58:04.100 --> 04:58:08.420
It's not the easy pickup is very likely the team look we're gonna break at least one more plate

04:58:08.720 --> 04:58:09.220
Yeah

04:58:09.220 --> 04:58:15.420
I mean still a nice pick right the fact that you mentioned get the W from fun to connect there and set up for the play

04:58:15.500 --> 04:58:18.780
is nice. If you can try and turn it into a little bit more, it would be even better,

04:58:18.780 --> 04:58:22.620
because you can see at least they may get the tarot up, but not quite.

04:58:22.620 --> 04:58:28.700
Nice flick back. Flash out as well. We're going to back away and just pick up the way of the guaranteed

04:58:28.700 --> 04:58:33.180
goal. It cost them effectively, you know, two, three hundred to just go for that play. So,

04:58:33.180 --> 04:58:37.180
off to back away instead. But getting the flash out of the Taliyah as well as the ghost.

04:58:37.900 --> 04:58:42.860
Nice to chip away at those cool-downs. The Team Liquid really haven't extended their

04:58:42.860 --> 04:58:47.820
gold lead right it feels like they've been around 2k for the last seven eight minutes.

04:58:48.940 --> 04:58:52.620
And I think the fact that you have to fight in this next dragon is kind of a big focal point

04:58:52.620 --> 04:58:59.020
because quids kind of just a lot of ages not a huge amount there. Jonson will have a second item

04:58:59.740 --> 04:59:03.980
and you have that riff to try and play with here for pop 9 too so I think there is a world where

04:59:03.980 --> 04:59:08.620
DCG can try and fight this even though they are a little bit further behind in gold.

04:59:08.620 --> 04:59:13.580
I mean major item completions are the thing that we're generally looking at before these big fights

04:59:14.140 --> 04:59:19.620
Tl have access to that lock it is pop 9 now running in that's the ultimate pop Morgan needs to get the hell out of dodge

04:59:19.780 --> 04:59:24.280
Pop time needs to get in the melee range, but unfortunately can't get that auto to extend his ult timing so Morgan's just able to flash back

04:59:25.500 --> 04:59:28.620
Get out DCG lose the Olaf ulti

04:59:28.620 --> 04:59:34.520
But again just chipping away at sums for themselves as well every team really focused on that next drake one second till cloud spawns

04:59:34.520 --> 04:59:37.960
Florent needs to be careful about walking up, three now four members of TL waiting.

04:59:39.320 --> 04:59:42.680
Florent that's gonna be the wall, a nice stun, wall coming in from behind him looking to lock

04:59:42.680 --> 04:59:47.000
up core JJ, lock down his there, quick now three to start opening up, Florent going in for core,

04:59:47.000 --> 04:59:50.520
finds the wall upon it, just about nobody, knocked back to the double under the NAR though,

04:59:50.520 --> 04:59:54.040
there's also Harold in the midst of the entire fight, Pop9 might have a ulti but he's still getting

04:59:54.040 --> 04:59:59.560
a little bit of damage down, it's a messy fight but it's top lane for support trade,

04:59:59.560 --> 05:00:03.560
team Liquid happy with that one as now the ultis can start reigning in,

05:00:03.560 --> 05:00:08.960
Destiny across the team, Hosidiyo moving in as well, Morgan on the back line looking to lock up Ponto, but he gets flicked back and taken down!

05:00:08.960 --> 05:00:11.560
The comments to be across the top, the only reason he'll fall!

05:00:11.560 --> 05:00:16.360
Egasus all fades away, Hosidiyo to no longer immune to that damage, Popton getting into melee range, hoping to burn him down.

05:00:16.360 --> 05:00:22.360
Flashback is not enough, but Fung will grab the kill, and it's an absolute bloodbath, neither side able to start the Drake.

05:00:22.360 --> 05:00:29.760
It's just trade, sitting in these fights, one for one, constantly going back and forth, and at the end of it, as you say, Drake goes,

05:00:29.760 --> 05:00:32.560
nobody's able to actually go towards the track in.

05:00:33.560 --> 05:00:37.800
I had to find new words. There's a foot bath doesn't mean the same thing anymore

05:00:38.520 --> 05:00:40.800
It's a fist fight. It is a brawl

05:00:42.240 --> 05:00:43.560
TL

05:00:43.560 --> 05:00:45.560
using that because I'm a little as well, but

05:00:45.720 --> 05:00:49.040
Kind of the turn and burn here we see from some of these cool-downs is so crucial

05:00:49.040 --> 05:00:51.160
But it's core JJ not getting over the wall here that really starts

05:00:51.160 --> 05:00:56.680
But then after is foreign tries to follow over this is where it then gets a little topsy-turvy because foreign tries to look for the W

05:00:56.680 --> 05:00:59.860
Doesn't quite get it actually gets stunned by core JJ just before he dies

05:00:59.860 --> 05:01:04.140
And that's then where he tries to get the follow-up, but the ultimate from Fung a little bit late

05:01:04.180 --> 05:01:06.780
So the now ends up falling at this stage

05:01:06.780 --> 05:01:09.300
I expect about teams kind of back away and lick their bruises

05:01:09.300 --> 05:01:13.500
But instead we end up with this pantheon ult that actually splits team liquid and tardy

05:01:13.500 --> 05:01:18.620
Yon and Quage can't come in because of Chelsea and Fung and it means that then you can easily turn on to Morgan

05:01:18.620 --> 05:01:23.860
Pop9 thinks he can survive through the damage being all that and also having to send up a side of him

05:01:23.860 --> 05:01:28.860
But not quite able to get away from the rest of damage. So it's just this constant back and forth on the trades

05:01:28.860 --> 05:01:37.860
A little bit aside there, there was a TF who did not lock gold card when it moved fast and instead locked blue, maybe just hoping for that bit of extra damage.

05:01:37.860 --> 05:01:44.860
But um, no. Dragons taken though. Four caught a bit out. TL do get the dragon, that is going to be the big one.

05:01:44.860 --> 05:01:49.860
And it creds to TL really. They did such a good job of respecting Florent on the Meganar.

05:01:49.860 --> 05:01:55.860
Everyone backing up, being sure that it kind of looks awkward because the only person he hits is Core, but it's just the only person he can hit, right?

05:01:55.860 --> 05:01:59.860
giving him that space, respecting that ulti and its potential to just wreak havoc.

05:01:59.860 --> 05:02:04.860
But I do think that at some stages, you kind of as ECG have to take what you've gotten, right?

05:02:04.860 --> 05:02:08.860
If you just kill Korge AJ and then fall back over towards the dragon and forward versus 5,

05:02:08.860 --> 05:02:11.860
with the composition the team would have can be a little tough,

05:02:11.860 --> 05:02:14.860
but by over-committing then for the rest of the play,

05:02:14.860 --> 05:02:17.860
that's where we start to get this trade over and over. Korge AJ spotted.

05:02:17.860 --> 05:02:21.860
Up 9-9 debating if he wants to commit here, does have an ulti that's becoming behind.

05:02:21.860 --> 05:02:24.660
coming behind is able to make it out though clutch there.

05:02:24.660 --> 05:02:26.260
Honk so perfect timing.

05:02:27.060 --> 05:02:30.260
The knockback on the Weaver's wall mean that Morgan can actually

05:02:30.260 --> 05:02:31.460
shoot that gold card at him.

05:02:31.860 --> 05:02:34.460
So manages to escape away with the Weaver's wall being down

05:02:34.460 --> 05:02:37.360
and Morgan's ultimate being down as well means that this kind

05:02:37.360 --> 05:02:40.560
of sideline threat on both sides a little lessened but team

05:02:40.560 --> 05:02:43.460
liquid looking for this top lane tower team liquid got more

05:02:43.460 --> 05:02:46.860
sideline held stop they got so many they never run out.

05:02:46.860 --> 05:02:48.060
Who's idea might not even need it though.

05:02:48.060 --> 05:02:50.460
So walking a bit too far forward immediate gold card

05:02:50.460 --> 05:02:56.460
They'll grab one kill and have a fall for Pop-Dyn, he's there, that go-kart's not going to do anything Morgan!

05:02:56.460 --> 05:03:00.460
It's not going to stun anybody! Pop-Dyn! Pop it off!

05:03:00.460 --> 05:03:04.460
Finally out of melee range, they're able to CC him and that is their time to turn.

05:03:04.460 --> 05:03:11.460
Cole we're going to grab the kill. Shousey now in no man's land as Long tries to usher him out to safety, tries to escort him away.

05:03:11.460 --> 05:03:13.460
TL are going to respect it.

05:03:13.460 --> 05:03:18.060
DCG hoping for the pop 1v9, but not able to make it happen there with no real support

05:03:18.180 --> 05:03:21.740
It was just the Olaf being taken out by team Liquid still though

05:03:21.740 --> 05:03:27.380
Team Liquid invests a huge amount onto that topside and Florin will be able to answer for the turret taking response

05:03:29.340 --> 05:03:32.340
Well grubby coming out to you, but again the goal lead

05:03:33.220 --> 05:03:36.300
The dragon didn't go to TL, but the goal lead stays at the same point

05:03:37.060 --> 05:03:41.820
For ten minutes or more. I'm just I keep saying random minutes because I can't keep track of time Rob

05:03:41.820 --> 05:03:46.220
I have no idea how long it's the same, but it's been a while this fast paced. I don't blame you

05:03:47.100 --> 05:03:50.540
Time is is it all over the place? We're having fun like this game

05:03:50.580 --> 05:03:58.260
But I think for DCG like you are getting moments to hey fun is getting towards two items pop 9 also having two items completed

05:03:58.260 --> 05:04:00.340
Did have a hex drinker for a moment there

05:04:00.340 --> 05:04:05.860
But actually so that's a going immediately towards the GA it looks like instead or maybe that that stands could also be an option

05:04:05.860 --> 05:04:10.060
But any uptime that you can get in these fights is gonna work wonders for that it is

05:04:11.820 --> 05:04:13.820
Kale, doing with the cannon mid lane.

05:04:13.820 --> 05:04:15.160
Oh, okay. Thank you, production.

05:04:15.160 --> 05:04:18.160
We're like, wow, this is such a breakneck pace of game.

05:04:18.160 --> 05:04:20.160
This is a slow DCG game.

05:04:20.160 --> 05:04:21.440
This is a very slow DCG game.

05:04:21.440 --> 05:04:24.840
This is the slowest DCG game.

05:04:24.840 --> 05:04:28.320
That one was almost 1.2 combined kills per minute.

05:04:28.320 --> 05:04:29.920
This is 0.7.

05:04:29.920 --> 05:04:32.120
So we need to chill, I think, is what production is saying.

05:04:32.120 --> 05:04:33.400
You need to be ready for more.

05:04:33.400 --> 05:04:37.360
Yeah, by about 18 kills in 22 minutes.

05:04:37.360 --> 05:04:38.320
Yeah, pick up the pace.

05:04:38.320 --> 05:04:39.680
Pick up the pace, guys.

05:04:39.680 --> 05:04:40.560
What is this, NASCAR?

05:04:40.560 --> 05:04:42.040
We need to be on F1.

05:04:42.040 --> 05:04:43.040
Yeah.

05:04:43.040 --> 05:04:44.040
And what the safety?

05:04:44.040 --> 05:04:47.920
You can't just go right 30 times and call that fast, you know?

05:04:47.920 --> 05:04:49.640
You need a little bit more.

05:04:49.640 --> 05:04:51.480
I don't know why NASCAR is sketching strays.

05:04:51.480 --> 05:04:52.480
I know nothing about NASCAR.

05:04:52.480 --> 05:04:54.840
But, you know, it's fun to fire strays if you want to.

05:04:54.840 --> 05:04:58.440
Yeah, I played four recently and that's about as much knowledge as I have of cars in general.

05:04:58.440 --> 05:04:59.440
Yeah.

05:04:59.440 --> 05:05:03.280
If I, or I just say like Hamilton a couple of times and someone will be mad at me.

05:05:03.280 --> 05:05:07.520
I just know the musical, not the driver or something like that.

05:05:07.520 --> 05:05:20.520
And we are, however, in a relatively soothed, calm state of the game, I have a distinct feeling that that will not remain this way for long.

05:05:20.520 --> 05:05:32.520
Or perhaps the second that we said this was a crazy pace of game, we have invoked a cast or curse, and we will now play a very diplomatic, side-trading game of League of Legends.

05:05:32.520 --> 05:05:38.960
Head nods and back in a way although as you say that I see four members of TL running to bottom lane and Florin

05:05:38.960 --> 05:05:42.800
Does not realize that that is gonna be the case. I see whatever we say becomes wrong. Yes

05:05:43.360 --> 05:05:45.360
I like that. It's gonna be a slow game

05:05:45.560 --> 05:05:47.560
very very

05:05:49.240 --> 05:05:51.240
Glacial

05:05:51.240 --> 05:05:55.280
No, of course dragon is the next big objective 35 seconds away

05:05:55.280 --> 05:05:59.760
We check in on item completions two two and a half really across the board

05:05:59.760 --> 05:06:04.920
No one sneaking into that third major item completion, but there's a hose idioto sneaking into that bush

05:06:05.000 --> 05:06:07.920
But now pop nine is to start to tear through mitigating so much of the damage

05:06:07.920 --> 05:06:13.680
So it's was idioto stopping that additional healing from coming in pop nine now running destiny Brock perfect information for team liquid to decide

05:06:13.680 --> 05:06:15.680
How they want to pursue this fight?

05:06:16.200 --> 05:06:21.860
Healing coming in for fun as well, but these help are just getting chipped away the superior range of yawn on the six

05:06:21.860 --> 05:06:25.040
Doing a ton of work. Yeah, the alien damage is doing wonders

05:06:25.040 --> 05:06:30.760
but great play from Team Liquid just hiding off with Fog of War making sure that there was no way for DCG to spot them out and

05:06:31.120 --> 05:06:36.960
Pop9 takes so much damage. He's just ahead of the equation has to go for the recess and it gives TL a second dragon.

05:06:37.920 --> 05:06:39.920
Oh, he all got the dragon.

05:06:40.360 --> 05:06:46.600
Now they want to Taliyah core moving in should be an easy kill pick up quid really starting to hurt Floren going for the goomba bounce

05:06:46.600 --> 05:06:48.320
immediate flashback here

05:06:48.320 --> 05:06:52.160
Teal going to walk up quick going for the slow shouts in there to body block

05:06:52.400 --> 05:06:55.520
But won't connect on the quid but you can see a team like we're getting a little bit eager

05:06:55.520 --> 05:06:59.160
They want to push this advantage further. I think they see the blue in the water

05:06:59.880 --> 05:07:03.320
over extension DCG in the bottom side and their team liquid looking

05:07:04.600 --> 05:07:09.600
We're gonna connect on the hose idiot of core going in but the alt he's not gonna connect pop nine three seconds away from getting

05:07:09.600 --> 05:07:13.760
An alt he's no just needs another second and now he's running through the entire team the damage from you on has to be there

05:07:13.760 --> 05:07:19.000
Trying to sprint back, but he's just not tanking up. Pop 9 getting one, Florent about to go Maga, DCG

05:07:19.240 --> 05:07:25.880
Finally gonna back away as their bot lane tier 2 falls. But they lost 2 in that equation. Pop 9 and Chousy falling to Team Liquid

05:07:25.960 --> 05:07:29.800
Still coming out ahead of the play. I know you can see the pings going on towards Baron

05:07:29.800 --> 05:07:32.380
I think they're just gonna reset and run over towards that objective

05:07:33.800 --> 05:07:35.600
And our

05:07:35.600 --> 05:07:41.040
Actualizer also there for quid. We've seen how incredibly oppressive this item could be. What a third item power spike

05:07:41.040 --> 05:07:49.880
Fung, at least 54 souls now, 3-1-5, has recovered exceptionally well from what was a really disastrous

05:07:49.880 --> 05:07:56.520
early landing phase, but if this Baron falls, it's certainly not the final nail in the coffin,

05:07:56.520 --> 05:08:02.200
but it's going to start to feel insurmountable, playing against a Ziggs team with Baron, tall

05:08:02.200 --> 05:08:06.520
task and unfortunately DCG is just going to be too late to this play to look at picking

05:08:06.520 --> 05:08:07.520
this one up for free.

05:08:07.520 --> 05:08:09.840
Yeah, it's also the combo of having that Twisted Fate as well.

05:08:09.840 --> 05:08:15.660
Kind of like take your pick and finish them off because go card with the rapid-fire con and into this eggs that I'm like

05:08:15.660 --> 05:08:17.660
How do you really get to play the game?

05:08:18.060 --> 05:08:21.720
Well, you try to play it now before they reset up before they get back to their lanes flip back onto

05:08:21.720 --> 05:08:25.600
You're not connect rocket belt taking him out his core just barely able to escape

05:08:26.280 --> 05:08:28.440
While blocking Chausse's fuck it looks like

05:08:30.240 --> 05:08:35.740
DCG now on their retreat team liquid now active on the map five seconds away from Morgan's ultimate

05:08:35.740 --> 05:08:42.740
You need to be careful not to over-commit here, losing a fight when the enemy team empowered by Baron very likely just ends the game.

05:08:42.740 --> 05:08:46.740
Still a DCG, kind of have to back away after missing that on that play.

05:08:46.740 --> 05:08:51.740
So Team Liquid, just going to start taking pop shots, you've got Morgan pushing into the bottom side,

05:08:51.740 --> 05:08:55.740
and this is where those Bensim Bums are talking about Drake, those radies start to hurst.

05:08:55.740 --> 05:08:58.740
Speaking of pop shots, we're going to be looking at Pop 9 off on the side.

05:08:58.740 --> 05:09:03.740
Ready to ulti in, shall see they're losing more and more life, Pop 9 finally shows his presence,

05:09:03.740 --> 05:09:08.360
But there's really just not an angle of attack as foreign jumps forward into Morgan the coin base cool

05:09:08.360 --> 05:09:10.360
They're not coming in on the side right is about to have a fight

05:09:10.840 --> 05:09:18.160
Morgan about to get dropped and now the follow ball to come in as well yon's ulti across the top the grand starfall for Jose Diodo

05:09:19.220 --> 05:09:23.520
DCG overstep just that slightest bit for a split second for kidding

05:09:23.520 --> 05:09:26.200
How many semi-globals were there on the side of team liquid?

05:09:26.200 --> 05:09:33.700
Alti now coming in from Pop9, Hoseiro might be a little bit in trouble, Florengorn from the stun, CC Immune now Pop9, grabbing one, Destiny proc, but Morgan

05:09:33.700 --> 05:09:39.200
He's using it for a bit of information, a bit of threat, so he loses with Diodo, but also, and Chausi's still down,

05:09:39.200 --> 05:09:43.200
Long now backing away, blue card waiting for the red, and he's already out of range!

05:09:43.200 --> 05:09:45.200
So Funga will live a bit longer.

05:09:45.200 --> 05:09:52.200
They got what they wanted, Terror, Inhibitor, Flash from Fung, even if they don't get the kill, they're still decimating the base of DCG.

05:09:52.200 --> 05:09:57.200
They're trying to regroup and get this defense, Team Liquid time to get out.

05:09:57.200 --> 05:10:01.200
We're gonna open the side, gets the gold card. Engage coming back in from Corgan and deny any potential follow-up.

05:10:01.200 --> 05:10:07.200
Chassis here on the hook, Fung untouched on the side, but he does not have the damage to kill all the remaining members of Team Liquid.

05:10:07.200 --> 05:10:12.200
That's another one to fall. Double AP threats left. Fung really feeling confident as long as no CC hits him, he should be fine.

05:10:12.200 --> 05:10:16.200
Extra movements, B, but Cor is just marching forward. The crash down is there, trying to dodge the shatter and strike.

05:10:16.200 --> 05:10:21.200
And he does so. Sized up on the bouncing bomb as well, and it's starting to fall apart a bit. That's a shutdown.

05:10:21.200 --> 05:10:27.600
Fung continues to chase CoreJJ. Cannot face checkup brush against Quid, but a nice little hold coming in from DCG.

05:10:27.600 --> 05:10:33.760
Great play from Fung in that one. Side stepping so much in that last engage with a buying time for Hongsul.

05:10:33.760 --> 05:10:36.800
Because I think if he went down, that could have been absolutely it.

05:10:36.800 --> 05:10:40.880
What you can see here, Team Liquid. CoreJJ with a great engage. Sets up for the play.

05:10:40.880 --> 05:10:47.520
They're getting so much damage on the Pop9 and without that ultimus, the CC layering is so good from Team Liquid.

05:10:47.520 --> 05:10:50.320
But it's here, Fung. Plays this so well.

05:10:50.320 --> 05:10:56.620
Managing to get the slows, dodging away from the follow-up from CoreJJ, knows that Yan doesn't really have the mana to try and funnel up.

05:10:56.620 --> 05:11:02.820
Even baiting the shattering strike there and buying that time for Hongshou to join in.

05:11:03.720 --> 05:11:06.920
And good luck for Fung. You can see he is getting stronger and stronger.

05:11:08.320 --> 05:11:11.720
But, uh, can you look at his laugh? He's still smiling. Unconcerned.

05:11:11.720 --> 05:11:17.240
A 6k gold lead I think makes it pretty easy to understand why but it is 20 seconds away from the next

05:11:17.880 --> 05:11:19.080
objective

05:11:19.080 --> 05:11:25.680
Now the kill pace a little bit closer to the regional average. We're up to a little bit above 130 at 29 minutes

05:11:25.680 --> 05:11:27.280
We'll see if we can get that pace

05:11:27.280 --> 05:11:30.820
You know not not DCG's tempo. Let's be clear here

05:11:31.320 --> 05:11:34.760
Yeah, still though team liquid in a position to just immediately move top

05:11:34.760 --> 05:11:36.500
They may just forego dragon say cool

05:11:36.500 --> 05:11:40.700
You can have the third dragon will take that third inhibitor turn instead and DCG

05:11:40.700 --> 05:11:44.860
kind of scrubbing it to get back but again only have to commit pop down but

05:11:44.860 --> 05:11:48.300
corn goes down here it could be incredibly costly we're getting all

05:11:48.300 --> 05:11:51.180
thing in but not able to get the gold card down in time quit we'll grab a

05:11:51.180 --> 05:11:56.340
toplane tier two but I think this is a trade

05:11:56.340 --> 05:12:01.940
all tea does disgusting damage another grand skyfall coming across the

05:12:01.940 --> 05:12:05.140
Shousey caught out Morgan on the chase with the gold card will connect there's

05:12:05.140 --> 05:12:10.660
no immediate follow-up three members left alive on the side of DCG

05:12:10.660 --> 05:12:16.480
They're top lane all the remains between team liquid and match point in this series

05:12:18.300 --> 05:12:20.580
Top side of the map has to stand strong

05:12:22.540 --> 05:12:25.120
Florence fishing seem to be confined something with the mega narrow

05:12:25.120 --> 05:12:29.940
But I think at this stage team liquid they know that this could be it as they start to step towards the next turrets

05:12:30.420 --> 05:12:32.820
Morgan locking that gold card five seconds. He can threaten

05:12:34.140 --> 05:12:38.520
DCG running out of time on the mega bar 15 seconds before you'll be able to stack that rage again

05:12:38.520 --> 05:12:43.440
And Yon just going to shred through these towers, lock up onto the mini and our immediate

05:12:43.440 --> 05:12:45.640
kill is going to come through, but Popnot trying to turn it back into their favorite

05:12:45.640 --> 05:12:47.140
floor and still living for an extra second.

05:12:47.140 --> 05:12:51.040
The old upstart is taking over, knock up onto Morgan instead, ulti across the top, coming

05:12:51.040 --> 05:12:52.040
in from the center.

05:12:52.040 --> 05:12:55.640
Morgan now set to fall, Quinn running for his life, but the hook is there, the CC denied

05:12:55.640 --> 05:12:56.640
the shutdown!

05:12:56.640 --> 05:12:58.840
DCG aren't done yet!

05:12:58.840 --> 05:13:04.860
DCG refused to go down without a fight and is Yon alone, who looks for show C gets the

05:13:04.860 --> 05:13:05.860
kill.

05:13:05.860 --> 05:13:16.500
I can't believe they managed to hold on to that one.

05:13:16.500 --> 05:13:21.460
Reload, deep cross, gaming, digging deep to find that fight that's still in them.

05:13:21.460 --> 05:13:25.780
And, Hakeem, you go for the engage here on towards Florent, but Pop9 gets so much value

05:13:25.780 --> 05:13:29.940
from these AoE auto attacks on towards the frontline, the damage from the static ship

05:13:29.940 --> 05:13:35.420
kind of helping out there as well as Team Liquid just chased out of the base and even

05:13:35.420 --> 05:13:40.020
the hook at the end to deny quade that realm war freight from Chelsea and TL

05:13:40.020 --> 05:13:44.940
really had the setup on to the gnar on the floor but they just could not finish

05:13:44.940 --> 05:13:47.300
the kill

05:13:47.740 --> 05:13:53.340
not always had a HP also in that fight wow so whatever yawn I didn't see what

05:13:53.340 --> 05:13:56.260
yawn went back and purchased but it is now enough to have finished off that

05:13:56.260 --> 05:14:01.220
not always that is just any good would have done the job bearing about a spawn

05:14:01.220 --> 05:14:07.500
in five seconds, but the base is in shambles from the side of DCG.

05:14:07.500 --> 05:14:08.820
This is a tough one to contest.

05:14:08.820 --> 05:14:13.360
Luckily they have a lot of the waves pushed out, but you can see four or five super minions

05:14:13.360 --> 05:14:14.980
pushing in bot wave.

05:14:14.980 --> 05:14:18.700
If DCG stick around here for too long, they're going to lose everything, but they just want

05:14:18.700 --> 05:14:19.700
to force a fight.

05:14:19.700 --> 05:14:21.700
I don't know how Pop-Dot is already at 50% HP, but DCG saved.

05:14:21.700 --> 05:14:22.700
It's time to go.

05:14:22.700 --> 05:14:24.700
Olaf starting to tear through the entire team.

05:14:24.700 --> 05:14:25.700
Team is going to go golden.

05:14:25.700 --> 05:14:26.700
Still CCM here.

05:14:26.700 --> 05:14:27.700
Quinn locked up.

05:14:27.700 --> 05:14:28.700
Pop-Dot trying to turn it back in their favor.

05:14:28.700 --> 05:14:29.700
He will get one in exchange.

05:14:29.700 --> 05:14:32.920
Cored out making a miracle engage with the ball of damage is just not there.

05:14:32.920 --> 05:14:38.000
Florin will finally fall. Morgan, Jose Dioto taking over in the fight

05:14:38.000 --> 05:14:42.480
weathering the storm as Yon teepees into the base and looks to close out game two.

05:14:42.480 --> 05:14:47.120
The dawning shadow Cooldown was just a little lace on a game team liquid.

05:14:47.120 --> 05:14:50.800
All they needed to close out game number two.

05:14:50.800 --> 05:14:53.600
Match point for Team Liquid.

05:14:53.600 --> 05:14:59.560
DCG held on as best they could, but Team Liquid chasing for the full sweep.

05:14:59.560 --> 05:15:08.320
It was hard fought towards the end, but again, it's Team Liquid's just that one step ahead

05:15:08.320 --> 05:15:10.560
of DCG Desk.

05:15:10.560 --> 05:15:14.160
Take it away.

05:15:14.160 --> 05:15:15.320
Thank you very much, Dacna.

05:15:15.320 --> 05:15:22.880
We do take this 2-0 victory, a lead now for Team Liquid Alienware after that game number

05:15:22.880 --> 05:15:23.880
two.

05:15:23.880 --> 05:15:26.360
It was in control, felt pretty good.

05:15:26.360 --> 05:15:28.600
Yeah, and see, that was a lot of excitement.

05:15:28.600 --> 05:15:29.360
I don't know.

05:15:29.360 --> 05:15:31.200
There was some party game in there.

05:15:31.200 --> 05:15:33.600
So there was another house of fun.

05:15:33.600 --> 05:15:35.240
That was a good time.

05:15:35.240 --> 05:15:37.520
Honestly, it was pretty fun.

05:15:37.520 --> 05:15:39.040
You know, TL went with the Avengers

05:15:39.040 --> 05:15:43.040
comp with all the global ultimates and stuff popping off.

05:15:43.040 --> 05:15:45.000
Quinto on the rise, I think for me,

05:15:45.000 --> 05:15:46.720
was definitely the centerpiece.

05:15:46.720 --> 05:15:50.800
It was just like the typical team liquid fiesta.

05:15:50.800 --> 05:15:52.520
Like the fight here, there.

05:15:52.520 --> 05:16:03.520
That's right, the Fiesta was in full force there, 14 liquid in control, that was a good one, that was a good one, yeah that was nice.

05:16:03.520 --> 05:16:15.520
It was a little scary at points because you're into the all-up and the center and that combination, especially when you have such a CC-based composition without a reliable AD carry, you saw some moments towards the end.

05:16:15.520 --> 05:16:16.520
Yeah, a little spooky.

05:16:16.520 --> 05:16:18.520
A little spooky, a little spooky.

05:16:18.520 --> 05:16:23.800
At least they outranged them and then I felt like they played well through side. It was tough because at first I was like

05:16:23.800 --> 05:16:28.400
Okay, we're giving Harold. That's nice. Just let the Twisted Fate split. That was an idiot. It gets too close

05:16:28.400 --> 05:16:32.160
They're like, oh now you died. Let's not let's just have a clean moment within the game

05:16:32.160 --> 05:16:34.320
And it always felt like that was not there

05:16:34.320 --> 05:16:38.160
We were getting something slight as a lead and then it was being ripped apart

05:16:38.160 --> 05:16:43.160
So a little touch and go. Let's take a look at how team liquid started it out because they executed quite well

05:16:43.160 --> 05:16:47.280
You know towards the bottom side especially towards the ziggs and let's take a look at some of these dives

05:16:47.280 --> 05:16:50.540
I mean so often when you have a zig, it's about playing to other points on the map

05:16:50.540 --> 05:16:56.540
But here using the pressure they had early because the bot lane to over team liquid played a really strong 2v2

05:16:56.780 --> 05:17:00.200
And it got a little scrappy later on you the flash in here

05:17:00.200 --> 05:17:04.900
Because they may be not the the best to follow up on the kills, but as more members started moving over

05:17:05.160 --> 05:17:13.500
Hello, I guess this great angle onto it's a layer and court J. J is that a follow up with all the like messy gameplay

05:17:13.500 --> 05:17:18.100
that we've been seeing generally, I think Qwid has just been really on point throughout the series so far.

05:17:18.100 --> 05:17:22.300
Deathless in game one, nearly deathless in game two up until the very end.

05:17:22.300 --> 05:17:24.100
He's been kind of the eye of the storm.

05:17:24.100 --> 05:17:26.200
Why, everything's chaotic around the rest of the map.

05:17:26.200 --> 05:17:29.700
He's just doing his job in the mid lane, very consistent.

05:17:29.700 --> 05:17:31.700
That is what mid lane normally is.

05:17:31.700 --> 05:17:36.500
However, there was another fight there 24 minutes for DCG where, again,

05:17:36.500 --> 05:17:39.900
you want to see a little bit more dominance here from this team liquid squad

05:17:39.900 --> 05:17:43.440
who is thriving to be the best in North America.

05:17:43.440 --> 05:17:46.660
But you get moments like this where it's like, OK, cool.

05:17:46.660 --> 05:17:47.220
Here we go.

05:17:47.220 --> 05:17:48.540
We're just going to run on in.

05:17:48.540 --> 05:17:51.420
We saw them get punished because Jose did it before.

05:17:51.420 --> 05:17:53.700
This time it works out well.

05:17:53.700 --> 05:17:57.660
Yeah, this one, I think, is the vision control for TL.

05:17:57.660 --> 05:18:01.060
And so they're the ones just jumping on DCG

05:18:01.060 --> 05:18:02.620
or not respecting the position.

05:18:02.620 --> 05:18:04.300
And Dragon was just taken.

05:18:04.300 --> 05:18:06.220
And they continue to force these plays.

05:18:06.220 --> 05:18:09.860
Core JJ jumping in there, getting the extra initiation.

05:18:09.860 --> 05:18:14.420
And having the gobbles there to follow up. That's the thing. I think the beauty of this one

05:18:14.420 --> 05:18:17.040
I didn't really catch it when we were going through the draft itself

05:18:17.040 --> 05:18:20.720
But the semi-globals gave him an opportunity to basically always deny

05:18:20.880 --> 05:18:25.960
Lauren on sides if there was ever an opportunity for him to split he could never feel comfortable past the river

05:18:25.960 --> 05:18:31.600
Otherwise, he was just going to have if they ever were pushing out of fog through mid then a rise could just jump you like that

05:18:31.600 --> 05:18:37.680
I also love the fact that we saw all that damage from the Ziggs Ziggs is full skill shots and every single other member

05:18:37.680 --> 05:18:42.800
your team not only has CC but easy land CC like a gold car the Panthin's done the

05:18:42.800 --> 05:18:46.720
rise route so it just meant it was so easy land those big bombs make that impact.

05:18:46.720 --> 05:18:51.440
And we got to see all of it thanks to our reliable Cisco network. The Avengers fly

05:18:51.440 --> 05:18:57.040
on into the top lane just in time to take down Florin as all the different angles

05:18:57.040 --> 05:19:00.480
Florin's like I can push this wave everything's safe and it's like okay I'm

05:19:00.480 --> 05:19:04.400
dealing with one global maybe a second global then a third global comes on in.

05:19:04.400 --> 05:19:09.360
I feel like he must have said something in all chat because this fell personal

05:19:13.760 --> 05:19:19.040
They caught him slipping it was not pretty as he goes in a mini-naw as well

05:19:20.040 --> 05:19:25.400
Yeah, he's playing a normal game. He's trying to zone Morgan from the way. He's like surely this is like how are you gonna come?

05:19:25.400 --> 05:19:30.960
Oh, yeah, you know what? He may this is the average top lane experience. Yeah, and that's when they say top there

05:19:30.960 --> 05:19:32.960
It's a 1v1 lane, right?

05:19:32.960 --> 05:19:37.960
And they'll choose this time because they know you're going for dragon until then they attack the other side of the map.

05:19:37.960 --> 05:19:40.960
My favorite one was Morgan, who probably very easily could have walked.

05:19:40.960 --> 05:19:48.960
But you know there's those distances where like, I can walk or I can catch the cap there and he like uses Destiny Gate just to go like, just a couple of times.

05:19:48.960 --> 05:19:50.960
Maybe in the commons that were like, we're ulting.

05:19:50.960 --> 05:19:52.960
And he's like, yeah, we're ulting!

05:19:52.960 --> 05:19:54.960
We're all like that!

05:19:54.960 --> 05:20:02.960
Morgan Twisted Fate had a couple of ults that were going, you know, super people later on, he was tested a few limits.

05:20:02.960 --> 05:20:10.960
He was feeling some stuff out. Oh my God. Enemy blue side jungly. He's like, I've got them. Go Cardiola. He's coming at the paint.

05:20:10.960 --> 05:20:16.960
I do want to bring it in before we go to a break for Relove Deep Cross Gaming. It felt like that. A couple of hats to hang on.

05:20:16.960 --> 05:20:20.960
It just weren't quite able to turn the corner because of the deficit that they were in there, Ox.

05:20:20.960 --> 05:20:27.080
Who's the guy that you want to see step up here given the fact that they're still looking for their first victory at MSI?

05:20:27.080 --> 05:20:30.400
But they're down to their last loss. I think the Olaf pick was cool conceptually

05:20:30.400 --> 05:20:33.600
I think pop 9 had some good moments has looked better today than yesterday

05:20:33.600 --> 05:20:36.720
And he is often being the driving force for this team

05:20:36.720 --> 05:20:40.600
I really hope they can get at least a game because it would feel pretty bad to go home

05:20:40.920 --> 05:20:45.320
Having not what a single game and they have to get a reverse sweep now for this series

05:20:45.320 --> 05:20:48.600
But I think even a game would make a big difference and at least today

05:20:48.600 --> 05:20:53.320
We're seeing more of those aggressive tendencies expected from them yesterday was a lot more subdued

05:20:53.320 --> 05:20:59.560
And I hope if this is the final game they go out with a bang. Yeah, I mean personally. I hope for TL to just fit

05:21:02.120 --> 05:21:06.840
Look to tomorrow because that might be an interesting matchup there. Yeah, all right

05:21:06.840 --> 05:21:10.880
Well, we'll see what happens. It is real of deep cross gaming down to their last

05:21:11.160 --> 05:21:15.440
Lost possible and looking for the first victory for the LCP in

05:21:15.440 --> 05:21:19.360
2026 international play, we'll see what happens in game number three.

05:22:15.440 --> 05:22:39.440
I told you I was done with basic browsers

05:22:45.440 --> 05:22:50.440
Your setup wants Opera GX, and you're holding it back.

05:22:58.580 --> 05:23:00.640
Upgrade to the gaming browser.

05:23:01.740 --> 05:23:03.540
Download Opera GX.

05:23:09.040 --> 05:23:11.440
Red Bull gives you wings.

05:23:12.240 --> 05:23:15.140
With my new phone company, Menace Mobile,

05:23:15.140 --> 05:23:20.380
Our pricing structure would be so confusing, it could already be described as evil.

05:23:20.380 --> 05:23:21.540
That isn't evil.

05:23:21.540 --> 05:23:25.500
It's just typical phone company stuff, and besides people would just switch to Verizon.

05:23:25.500 --> 05:23:29.100
With their new simplicity plan, there's just one plan and one price.

05:23:29.100 --> 05:23:30.100
What now?

05:23:30.100 --> 05:23:31.740
And it's only $30 for a single line.

05:23:31.740 --> 05:23:33.060
$30!

05:23:33.060 --> 05:23:35.060
So you're all choosing Verizon?

05:23:35.060 --> 05:23:36.820
Free NURSE!

05:23:36.820 --> 05:23:39.820
Introducing the simplicity plan, $30 for a single line.

05:23:39.820 --> 05:23:41.820
Can you hear me now?

05:23:45.140 --> 05:23:47.140
If you're the talk of the town

05:25:45.140 --> 05:25:47.140
I

05:26:15.140 --> 05:26:45.100
Welcome back to MSI 2026 where TL are up to zero over DC.

05:26:45.100 --> 05:26:50.900
If they win, they will face KC tomorrow for one last shot at a rematch versus T1.

05:26:50.900 --> 05:26:55.100
If they lose, we go further into the series one step closer to Silver Scrapes.

05:26:55.100 --> 05:26:57.100
I can hear it in the back of my head.

05:26:57.100 --> 05:27:04.100
For DCG, it's a tough story because while the stakes for a 2-0 TL are optimistic and exciting about how far they can go,

05:27:04.100 --> 05:27:10.100
DCG may be eliminated here, knocked out of the tournament without finding a single win.

05:27:10.100 --> 05:27:15.020
And it's a bit of a heartbreaker, but just haven't been able to find that edge over either of their opponents.

05:27:15.520 --> 05:27:25.520
Yeah, especially because like you can see there are certain moments in both series they played where you think, oh, maybe they can actually kind of play their style and show what they've shown domestically in the LCP.

05:27:25.520 --> 05:27:31.800
But unfortunately, just haven't quite been able to get a solid footing in the early stages of the game. One thing kind of goes awry.

05:27:32.060 --> 05:27:39.940
And of course, you just can't quite continue through. So it looks like MSI 2026 kind of looking like 2026.0 so far over the course of the last two days.

05:27:39.940 --> 05:27:46.460
But yeah, and let's see how this one goes because for real of DCG even just for the fans back home

05:27:46.540 --> 05:27:48.960
You'd love to be able to pick up some wins

05:27:48.960 --> 05:27:50.740
Yes, kind of put them on the board bus

05:27:50.740 --> 05:27:56.700
It is definitely an uphill battle that it is especially when TL have been so comfortable banning out your comfort picks

05:27:56.700 --> 05:28:01.740
And I don't think that that is going to change I expect to see a lease in here in this first round of bands once again

05:28:02.260 --> 05:28:07.140
There are four jinglers removed courtesy of fearless and they're probably going to be at least another four

05:28:07.140 --> 05:28:11.780
courtesy of this first round of fans the fury poppy you buy take away and

05:28:12.820 --> 05:28:17.420
We're not super deep into fearless yet, but with how heavily the jungle pool has been hit

05:28:17.420 --> 05:28:19.340
I imagine we will see something a little bit different here

05:28:19.340 --> 05:28:24.800
Yeah, I mean we still have pop 9s for XI which maybe he wants to bring it now and let's see if that's gonna be the call

05:28:24.800 --> 05:28:26.180
but

05:28:26.180 --> 05:28:28.020
Definitely getting deeper and deeper

05:28:28.020 --> 05:28:32.100
Into the champion picks for those junglers specifically. Where is like ever knows

05:28:32.100 --> 05:28:34.100
kind of not a field day.

05:28:34.100 --> 05:28:36.100
They're happy enough to continue playing.

05:28:36.100 --> 05:28:39.100
I wonder if we do get like the Camille focus here though for Chelsea,

05:28:39.100 --> 05:28:43.100
because I do think like having us kind of roaming support in the early game

05:28:43.100 --> 05:28:45.100
is the best look for real of DCG.

05:28:45.100 --> 05:28:47.100
This is the latest we've gone into a series thus far,

05:28:47.100 --> 05:28:50.100
and I believe without seeing it, you know, it's almost always been game one.

05:28:50.100 --> 05:28:54.100
It was game two in our first series of the day just because it was ban in game one

05:28:54.100 --> 05:28:58.100
in the second phase, but that's going to be five jungle bans.

05:28:58.100 --> 05:29:00.100
So, there you go.

05:29:00.100 --> 05:29:04.740
go. Yeah, so say 10 jungle bands this

05:29:04.740 --> 05:29:07.100
series immediate Orianna pickup was

05:29:07.100 --> 05:29:08.900
nerfed on this patch but just a bit of

05:29:08.900 --> 05:29:10.700
base health and a bit of flat damage on

05:29:10.700 --> 05:29:12.580
the Alti. Alti scaling actually went up

05:29:12.580 --> 05:29:13.900
so the later we go the more potential

05:29:13.900 --> 05:29:16.140
is for this you know big shockwave kind

05:29:16.140 --> 05:29:19.540
of combo. I think maybe just going

05:29:19.540 --> 05:29:21.860
towards as you say that kind of one

05:29:21.860 --> 05:29:24.100
more combo style maybe the best bet

05:29:24.100 --> 05:29:26.340
here very love DCG because they just

05:29:26.340 --> 05:29:27.860
have like having those moments where

05:29:27.860 --> 05:29:29.300
you can maybe bring back again from the

05:29:29.300 --> 05:29:32.320
the brink, have that big turn around play, could be the call,

05:29:32.320 --> 05:29:33.960
because Team Liquid have just been able to outpace them

05:29:33.960 --> 05:29:35.280
in a lot of the maps.

05:29:35.280 --> 05:29:37.400
Maybe team fighting is where you could try and land,

05:29:37.400 --> 05:29:39.400
but the quick going back towards the victor,

05:29:39.400 --> 05:29:41.280
decent into the Orianna, thanks to that range,

05:29:41.280 --> 05:29:43.280
and with the nerfs towards Orianna's lane,

05:29:43.280 --> 05:29:45.720
and specifically, can do relatively well there.

05:29:45.720 --> 05:29:47.640
Yeah, of course, 50% win rate on the victor,

05:29:47.640 --> 05:29:48.840
but I believe his most recent performances

05:29:48.840 --> 05:29:50.480
were pretty solid once.

05:29:50.480 --> 05:29:53.120
Now, I will say that because we're teaming with Victor,

05:29:53.120 --> 05:29:56.440
I think it's gonna be a bit of a slower, more respected

05:29:56.440 --> 05:29:57.840
game of League of Legends from TL,

05:29:57.840 --> 05:30:03.120
by the fact that they're 2-0 up, clearly still don't want to underestimate their opponents here,

05:30:03.120 --> 05:30:08.400
and that right there is Aleutian. And I'm going to be clear right now, if you've only been watching

05:30:08.400 --> 05:30:12.160
TL at this tournament or only this year, you might be skeptical about your own Aleutian.

05:30:12.160 --> 05:30:18.000
But in 2024, we witnessed this man do what no Western AD carry has ever done in the history

05:30:18.000 --> 05:30:23.200
of the game, and it was play a good Aleutian Nami game alongside CoreJJ. Now Imperial mandate

05:30:23.200 --> 05:30:27.440
has been effectively removed from Nami's potential pool of items, but I got a lot of faith

05:30:27.440 --> 05:30:32.080
And yawn when it comes to this champion even despite a pretty abysmal year thus far

05:30:32.080 --> 05:30:39.000
And I'm really hoping that this is a pop-off from him to send a message to a KC who are waiting tomorrow for their opposition

05:30:39.000 --> 05:30:44.640
However, the cost of picking this solution is given up a Wukong and a very heavily, you know

05:30:46.080 --> 05:30:52.920
Chipped away at pool of jungle champions as well as a Camille which has been incredibly strong

05:30:52.920 --> 05:30:57.360
especially if you can try to focus down like the video in your east ages or

05:30:57.360 --> 05:31:01.080
even just play hyper aggressive I think it makes a little bit more difficult for

05:31:01.080 --> 05:31:03.800
yon and for JJ to really get that control that the Lucian wants over the

05:31:03.800 --> 05:31:08.320
lane so I like what we're seeing from DCG including the Wukong because often

05:31:08.320 --> 05:31:11.520
times you kind of get like the Victor Wukong combo for that zone control and

05:31:11.520 --> 05:31:16.280
the funnel with that gravity well but not gonna be the case here I think DCG

05:31:16.280 --> 05:31:21.120
setting up for a very strong one both of your talking production just uploaded

05:31:21.120 --> 05:31:23.920
the stat and I didn't understand why but after reading it I do.

05:31:23.920 --> 05:31:27.320
Fun fact, Hongtao is 6-7 on Orianna.

05:31:27.320 --> 05:31:28.820
Hand potions.

05:31:28.820 --> 05:31:30.320
Thank you production.

05:31:30.320 --> 05:31:32.420
Hull as always.

05:31:32.420 --> 05:31:34.920
Of course, Renekton now locked in.

05:31:34.920 --> 05:31:35.920
Pretty stable topside.

05:31:35.920 --> 05:31:37.320
We haven't seen any Camille top.

05:31:37.320 --> 05:31:40.020
I wouldn't really expect to see her up there,

05:31:40.020 --> 05:31:43.420
but I do like Morgan has just been super good on the topside of map.

05:31:43.420 --> 05:31:45.020
So just blind picking if something's stable.

05:31:45.020 --> 05:31:46.220
Does seem like an excellent angle.

05:31:46.220 --> 05:31:50.220
We'll see what Cole wants to pick up to go alongside the Lucian.

05:31:50.220 --> 05:31:54.220
I imagine based on the first series today, we will see the Milio man away.

05:31:54.220 --> 05:31:58.220
Yeah, but that's the thing, right? Like if you end up taking away a lot of these pigs,

05:31:58.220 --> 05:32:01.220
I am curious what you want to try and hope for. I think the...

05:32:01.220 --> 05:32:07.220
Obviously, Lucho got changed a while ago, where he's the less limited to just going with the enchanters alongside him,

05:32:07.220 --> 05:32:10.220
but definitely he is to give me stronger with those enchanters beside him.

05:32:10.220 --> 05:32:17.220
And as you say, the Milio, kind of the crème de la crème, now me disappearing a little bit, thanks to the changes to appear on mandate.

05:32:17.220 --> 05:32:24.220
But I'm not entirely certain what they do want to try and go for because I do think you will get the Minio Band runs with the Bron.

05:32:24.220 --> 05:32:31.220
And Bron, I think just generally, obviously one of the kind of really old-school lutions, but really easy to proc because it blows nice alongside the Recton.

05:32:31.220 --> 05:32:38.220
Really good against compositions that want to dive you. Fantastic disengaged support, fantastic blocking follow-up damage with that unbreakable shield.

05:32:38.220 --> 05:32:44.220
But the Ezreal trying to limit the mobile options for bot lane as well as the potential toppling counter to the Recton.

05:32:44.220 --> 05:32:48.220
So split bands here from Team Liquid in terms of what they're trying to focus.

05:32:48.220 --> 05:32:54.220
Yeah, I still think you have options like with the Alistar maybe for CoreJJ

05:32:54.220 --> 05:32:57.220
if you really want to, to try and just play keep away from the Camille,

05:32:57.220 --> 05:33:00.220
like just accept that you are going to, before you lose any of that bottom side of the map,

05:33:00.220 --> 05:33:04.220
but that's not exactly what you want with the Lucian either when you lock this in

05:33:04.220 --> 05:33:08.220
and Alistar can make it a little bit more difficult for you to try and play to the strengths in the mid-game,

05:33:08.220 --> 05:33:11.220
but at least you can try and match some of the early Roman.

05:33:11.220 --> 05:33:17.940
Shavada was over yesterday. Is something Jose Dioto has in his champion pool bus picking through a few options here

05:33:18.980 --> 05:33:20.980
That was the option gonna be

05:33:23.500 --> 05:33:25.500
Okay

05:33:25.740 --> 05:33:31.140
They picked the victor and the renektin so that the rest of the map could cook because my god

05:33:34.540 --> 05:33:38.100
It's a good one. Yeah, I know why is that nice?

05:33:38.100 --> 05:33:40.100
But I really thought we were getting a Zach.

05:33:40.100 --> 05:33:43.100
I mean, I think Zach would be insane.

05:33:43.100 --> 05:33:47.100
Like, yes, you do get to play with the Lucian on that mid wave with the Zach really well,

05:33:47.100 --> 05:33:49.100
because of the effectively range,

05:33:49.100 --> 05:33:54.100
but that is definitely some cooking against this composition on the upside.

05:33:54.100 --> 05:33:57.100
And it is. Of course, Shyvana was hit on 26-10.

05:33:57.100 --> 05:34:00.100
We played on 26-9? I can't remember where we played for that one.

05:34:00.100 --> 05:34:02.100
We played 26-10. Yeah, so we don't play this.

05:34:02.100 --> 05:34:04.100
We're 26-11. Yeah, exactly. Thank you.

05:34:04.100 --> 05:34:09.140
2610 yes, so we're 2611. Yes, exactly. Thank you trying to keep up a lot of times

05:34:09.140 --> 05:34:10.780
We're synced in terms of those regional patches

05:34:10.780 --> 05:34:16.420
But so she might it has not been hit since we last saw her last touchdown a little see how good she can be

05:34:16.500 --> 05:34:22.060
The context these drafts as we have the jacks now locked in to go toe-to-toe with that redneck thing and

05:34:22.820 --> 05:34:24.500
the potential

05:34:24.500 --> 05:34:26.100
Draven

05:34:26.100 --> 05:34:33.100
This will be a statement, but I like the Callister as well. They're both. Yeah, just hyper aggressive bot lanes. I think a great call

05:34:33.100 --> 05:34:40.140
for DCG. Especially when you've already got hyper time, the ability for Shousey to really

05:34:40.140 --> 05:34:44.180
force out another safety with Kalista can help quite a lot here.

05:34:44.180 --> 05:34:49.100
Has played with Kalista once before, domestically, did not win the game, but hoping to turn

05:34:49.100 --> 05:34:53.780
that around here today and wants to play fire with fire.

05:34:53.780 --> 05:34:59.820
For debating on what the option is, is for fans out in the audience.

05:34:59.820 --> 05:35:05.580
have a all-time decent win right on the Clis, a 62.5% so still somebody is very

05:35:05.580 --> 05:35:09.900
comfortable even if we don't see it from the region at this year but oh

05:35:09.900 --> 05:35:13.620
interesting okay obviously Clis we're not on the pairing that we know kind of

05:35:13.620 --> 05:35:17.220
yeah both paths of the duo have really good ways to keep each other safe keep

05:35:17.220 --> 05:35:20.380
each other alive and fighting but the hostile takeover against this

05:35:20.380 --> 05:35:25.020
composition is incredibly incredibly potent and Clis are and we're not on one

05:35:25.020 --> 05:35:28.700
of the few range support options that I think has good tools to disrupt the

05:35:28.700 --> 05:35:33.900
can you or right the handshake can't be really, really strong. Yeah, it's it's still going

05:35:33.900 --> 05:35:37.420
to be a difficult matchup in the early stages, though, because you just have so much all in

05:35:37.420 --> 05:35:42.140
potential in the bottom side of the map, especially pop nine shows up. But as you start to move

05:35:42.140 --> 05:35:47.260
on there, I think you give you on a lot of ways to try and play aggressive on that midway

05:35:47.260 --> 05:35:54.900
with this for nada. And also, as you say, like the it does end up a little awkward just

05:35:54.900 --> 05:35:59.520
because you kind of then hyper rely on the all in potential from DCG to start a

05:35:59.520 --> 05:36:04.360
fight or that hostile takeover to kind of catch people out. But I do think when

05:36:04.360 --> 05:36:07.980
you're looking at a very heavy dive composition the other side you will get

05:36:07.980 --> 05:36:12.160
value at some stage from this one. That you will and I think this is one thing

05:36:12.160 --> 05:36:14.960
that I really like about the picks that Team Liquid have assembled right in

05:36:14.960 --> 05:36:18.900
the Renata in the Victor and in the Shyvana really good at punishing these

05:36:18.900 --> 05:36:22.080
big dive options. One of the biggest issues that Shyvana has whether it's

05:36:22.080 --> 05:36:27.080
pre-war, post-re-war. It's sticking to enemy champions, especially with that ultimate, but when they're coming to you,

05:36:27.080 --> 05:36:32.680
the amount of damage this champion can unleash is so damn high, and it's something that's going to be tricky for them to navigate,

05:36:32.680 --> 05:36:37.680
because of all these things so many caneels get away with these quick picks, these quick engages,

05:36:37.680 --> 05:36:42.680
it's a lot harder against the composition that TL have put together, at least when they're stacked up.

05:36:42.680 --> 05:36:50.080
Yeah, I do think though, for DCG, this draft is their best way to try and get ahead in the early stages, right?

05:36:50.080 --> 05:36:55.660
like you have. Florent you can try and play through. CoreJJ can match the Romes, but he

05:36:55.660 --> 05:36:59.860
is very susceptible to just becoming the targets of some of these plays if you try and match

05:36:59.860 --> 05:37:04.040
Shaoxi on some of them. So I think this is where if I'm DCG, hyper-aggression in the

05:37:04.040 --> 05:37:08.100
early stage, really try and blow up in this game early is exactly what you're looking

05:37:08.100 --> 05:37:12.820
for. Even if the exhaust on Fung is really strong against the Lucian, especially if he

05:37:12.820 --> 05:37:17.300
ever dashes in, you're immediately exhaust and you can hard win that trade against the

05:37:17.300 --> 05:37:18.300
Lucian.

05:37:18.300 --> 05:37:22.380
And of course when we talk about DCG, we talk about combined kills per minute.

05:37:22.380 --> 05:37:26.480
I'll hold that so we can take a look at all these skin.

05:37:26.480 --> 05:37:29.540
So the question really is, with these two compositions, these two drafts, are we going

05:37:29.540 --> 05:37:32.700
to see that same breakneck pace of game?

05:37:32.700 --> 05:37:34.500
And for DCG, yes, we most certainly are.

05:37:34.500 --> 05:37:35.740
That's an immediate exhaust of the bottom lane.

05:37:35.740 --> 05:37:36.940
Yandere, Spears are already stacking.

05:37:36.940 --> 05:37:39.140
This Lucian is in trouble and he is dead.

05:37:39.140 --> 05:37:41.300
He is in a potty bag.

05:37:41.300 --> 05:37:44.220
TL already said packing in the early stages.

05:37:44.220 --> 05:37:45.740
That's a devastating level one.

05:37:45.740 --> 05:37:47.540
Yeah, point in case right there.

05:37:47.540 --> 05:37:49.980
Hyper-aggressive NDS.

05:37:49.980 --> 05:37:53.060
I'm going to spell choices here from DCG and I make it work.

05:37:53.060 --> 05:37:55.100
Immediate kill, great control,

05:37:55.100 --> 05:37:56.540
and you're going to be able to go back and pick up

05:37:56.540 --> 05:37:59.220
a nice early longsword for yourself as well.

05:37:59.220 --> 05:38:00.260
Four fung in this bottom lane.

05:38:00.260 --> 05:38:01.140
It's Jose Dioto.

05:38:01.140 --> 05:38:03.020
Consider an evade, but we'll be spotted.

05:38:03.020 --> 05:38:04.460
Yeah, not quite sure.

05:38:04.460 --> 05:38:06.980
That looks like he did manage to evade that early ward

05:38:06.980 --> 05:38:07.980
and we'll be back to the red buff.

05:38:07.980 --> 05:38:09.300
No, excuse me, that is the question mark.

05:38:09.300 --> 05:38:10.380
Thanks to who was spotted.

05:38:10.380 --> 05:38:11.740
Well highlighted observers,

05:38:11.740 --> 05:38:14.540
just to showcase how important that early vision has been.

05:38:14.540 --> 05:38:21.340
Chelsea now roaming potentially into the jungle or just into the mid lane. DCG, this is their pace of the game.

05:38:21.340 --> 05:38:24.140
This is their tempo. I don't know if TL are ready for it.

05:38:24.300 --> 05:38:27.460
We're forced to flash in the mid lane. Good reaction.

05:38:27.460 --> 05:38:30.620
But losing that summoner is just gonna make it that much harder on the next go-around.

05:38:30.620 --> 05:38:33.640
No, this is well orchestrated by DCG.

05:38:34.140 --> 05:38:36.900
Bot lane summoner spells gone. Mid lane summoner spells gone.

05:38:37.020 --> 05:38:40.940
Gives you a lot to work with here as Pop9 gonna start to clear down towards this bottom side.

05:38:40.940 --> 05:38:44.120
expected won't be in the next couple of minutes that we really see much here

05:38:44.120 --> 05:38:47.520
because Pop9 will need to start clearing out kind of his own top side and

05:38:47.520 --> 05:38:51.320
because we had that little bit of a split map but still I think DCG will be

05:38:51.320 --> 05:38:56.000
able to punish really effectively over the next coming top moments take a

05:38:56.000 --> 05:38:59.760
look at back at this all and remember Clista has exhaust so that is going to

05:38:59.760 --> 05:39:03.280
be a really big difference in this fight yeah I think a little bit of a mistake

05:39:03.280 --> 05:39:06.400
there from Courage AJ trying to take the space you're happy to just kind of

05:39:06.400 --> 05:39:10.160
clear out the wave and then force DCG to play back but with Halo Blades and this

05:39:10.160 --> 05:39:17.080
Callista level one plus the exhaust and ignite you just really don't have the damage to match especially as a Lucian in those early stages

05:39:17.080 --> 05:39:23.260
Yeah, the offensive summoner spells the exhausting night. Halo blades. I'll leave everything everything is just so favored

05:39:23.880 --> 05:39:28.340
For the side of DCG but now with a few more levels another belt a bit more back up on the rest of the map

05:39:28.800 --> 05:39:32.120
Tl playing with confidence here in the bottom lane from though gonna be in trouble

05:39:32.120 --> 05:39:36.960
That's Jose Dioto grabbing the kill nice response after a pretty tragic first blood here from Tl

05:39:36.960 --> 05:39:41.540
Yeah, the fact that you're able to push the double summoner spell has gone on DCG is massive

05:39:41.540 --> 05:39:46.880
And I really thought it would actually be pop 9 it was able to get 10 to the bottom side first minute core JJ

05:39:46.880 --> 05:39:48.880
Beating a bit of an audience auto

05:39:50.200 --> 05:39:52.200
That's ruthless oh

05:39:53.520 --> 05:39:55.520
One more

05:39:55.560 --> 05:39:57.560
That oh

05:39:58.680 --> 05:40:03.440
It might be his life for this decision magic damage shield that means y'all just gets the free hit

05:40:03.440 --> 05:40:07.960
They did not keep track of delusion. Wait, but that's a lot of minions.

05:40:07.960 --> 05:40:10.460
That is a lot of minions. Worrying this down.

05:40:10.460 --> 05:40:12.960
Then you dig in the brush, but the vision is already there.

05:40:12.960 --> 05:40:15.280
Two more on us. He's fine.

05:40:15.280 --> 05:40:17.720
60 HP, 50 HP, 40 HP.

05:40:17.720 --> 05:40:20.960
Yeah, I thought Fung might have actually committed that with the full wave hitting,

05:40:20.960 --> 05:40:25.840
but instead just decides to back away, still cautious with the barrier that Yon had available.

05:40:25.840 --> 05:40:30.280
So, end up kind of calling that one, I feel like, correctly, but definitely a tight one.

05:40:30.280 --> 05:40:36.600
Popped on spot so who's a deal over this top side? I know they will not steal it away. How's it do clean on the smites once again?

05:40:37.400 --> 05:40:43.560
And I got to say despite I was really worried that that level one would spell doom for TL and all of this early game

05:40:43.560 --> 05:40:46.320
But they were covered excellently with these plays in the bottom side shout

05:40:46.320 --> 05:40:48.320
He's though looking to make a play of his own here in mid lane

05:40:49.400 --> 05:40:53.160
And quit lost his flash in the previous fight

05:40:53.760 --> 05:40:56.240
The previous gank but course here to cover

05:40:56.240 --> 05:40:58.820
Well, that core reads it perfectly.

05:40:58.820 --> 05:40:59.920
Nice reset handshake.

05:40:59.920 --> 05:41:00.920
Not going to amount to too much,

05:41:00.920 --> 05:41:01.920
but importantly quit.

05:41:01.920 --> 05:41:02.920
So walk away.

05:41:02.920 --> 05:41:03.920
It's his life.

05:41:03.920 --> 05:41:07.520
Yeah, it has been a little bit of a weird one for pop nine,

05:41:07.520 --> 05:41:11.920
though, because he's only now clearing out his top side because he ended up taking like

05:41:11.920 --> 05:41:17.440
the topside jungle initially and then moving back in over to protect his bottom side, but

05:41:17.440 --> 05:41:20.520
then had to go into the bot lane to try and cover for it.

05:41:20.520 --> 05:41:22.640
And is now only kind of just going back into this top half.

05:41:22.640 --> 05:41:26.000
So he ends up very far behind when he comes towards the CS because it's just been an easy

05:41:26.000 --> 05:41:27.920
and easier clear cycle for Jose Dioto,

05:41:27.920 --> 05:41:30.080
even though I should just steal away one of those counts

05:41:30.080 --> 05:41:31.120
in the get-go as well.

05:41:31.120 --> 05:41:34.800
So even though it's kind of looked decent for DCG

05:41:34.800 --> 05:41:35.920
in the early stages,

05:41:35.920 --> 05:41:38.280
Pop9 is very much lagging when it comes towards

05:41:38.280 --> 05:41:39.440
the jungle matchup.

05:41:39.440 --> 05:41:40.480
That he is.

05:41:40.480 --> 05:41:42.960
And it really was just that first level one play

05:41:42.960 --> 05:41:44.720
to win in their favor as well as that mid lane game.

05:41:44.720 --> 05:41:45.880
But not being able to follow up,

05:41:45.880 --> 05:41:47.760
not being able to punish the lack of flash and mid lane

05:41:47.760 --> 05:41:50.840
for Quid does mean that advantage is kind of shrunk away.

05:41:50.840 --> 05:41:52.440
You look at the top side, top lane and jungle

05:41:52.440 --> 05:41:54.960
both wildly far ahead of their respective opposition

05:41:54.960 --> 05:41:58.200
and Jan, despite that big hiccup in the all-in.

05:41:58.200 --> 05:41:59.520
The rest of his team supported him

05:41:59.520 --> 05:42:01.160
in punishing those missing summoners.

05:42:01.160 --> 05:42:04.160
And Camille can really beat his powerhouse

05:42:04.160 --> 05:42:07.480
if she gets going, but if she falls too far behind,

05:42:07.480 --> 05:42:09.240
really quickly runs out of value.

05:42:09.240 --> 05:42:12.680
But even if you just confine her to lane, that's a win.

05:42:12.680 --> 05:42:14.600
And that's exactly what Team Liquid are doing now.

05:42:14.600 --> 05:42:16.000
Using that push they have, they're

05:42:16.000 --> 05:42:19.640
going to start to look for this Krug, or this Gromp, even.

05:42:19.640 --> 05:42:22.200
Might fight round two as we get a once-again win.

05:42:22.200 --> 05:42:23.840
This time, because Pop9 doesn't have somebody,

05:42:23.840 --> 05:42:25.840
Now with Troublehose Diodo.

05:42:25.840 --> 05:42:27.840
What's up with the fireball?

05:42:27.840 --> 05:42:31.840
Not maybe a little bit frustrated, but Flash out.

05:42:31.840 --> 05:42:35.840
Flash for Flash traded, of course, Yong losing his in exchange for Pop-Nights.

05:42:35.840 --> 05:42:39.840
But right now, Team Liquid just running the map.

05:42:39.840 --> 05:42:42.840
And this is exactly what you want to do, as I was saying.

05:42:42.840 --> 05:42:48.840
If you can confine Shou's C2 lane, the ability for this Camille to really impact the game is limited.

05:42:48.840 --> 05:42:52.840
And then when you get to that later portion, it just doesn't quite have that same level of ump.

05:42:52.840 --> 05:42:57.840
home, as Fallen now taking good damage from this Lucian.

05:42:58.160 --> 05:42:59.640
And with the pressure on bottom side,

05:42:59.640 --> 05:43:01.400
you're getting kills, you're getting dragons,

05:43:01.400 --> 05:43:03.320
you're just really shutting down

05:43:03.320 --> 05:43:05.640
what was the strong point to the map for DCG.

05:43:05.640 --> 05:43:08.640
And now a full level advantage for Yan over Hong.

05:43:08.640 --> 05:43:10.880
And a full level advantage for Jose Diodo.

05:43:10.880 --> 05:43:12.680
Almost a full level advantage top side

05:43:12.680 --> 05:43:14.200
on top of the goal that they've been building out.

05:43:14.200 --> 05:43:15.560
But ShaoSi now making that play mid lane,

05:43:15.560 --> 05:43:18.320
excellent shockwave, quick burning down just a little bit.

05:43:18.320 --> 05:43:20.800
DCG finally getting something back for themselves.

05:43:20.800 --> 05:43:25.840
Quick trying to hold her down towards the bottom side of the lane because I believe this but a pop nine on the top side

05:43:25.840 --> 05:43:30.800
But again exhaust is on yawn coaling now coming out willing to give his life there doesn't die

05:43:31.600 --> 05:43:37.120
Importantly before the kill comes through so the reset from core doesn't keep him standing

05:43:37.120 --> 05:43:43.840
Chassis has flash as well for JJ does not so looks like it should be a kill for the Camille here as well level three level four core

05:43:45.280 --> 05:43:48.480
Fairly enough man and not coming up for an ability shall see we'll pick up one more

05:43:48.480 --> 05:43:52.960
more. Jon's still holding a massive goldy, but he's a little bit sloppy.

05:43:52.960 --> 05:43:57.240
Still, as you say, you lose that wave to the tower, that gold lead is still going to be

05:43:57.240 --> 05:44:03.160
going in favor of Jon. You're barely level 5 to 6.5 for Jon, a 1.2K gold lead.

05:44:03.160 --> 05:44:07.000
And Morgan, threatening Florin here.

05:44:07.000 --> 05:44:12.200
Morgan really is poking and prodding, solely chipping away at the turret, continuing to

05:44:12.200 --> 05:44:15.160
extend a CS and tower plate advantage.

05:44:15.160 --> 05:44:20.160
One really needs a few more items under his belt.

05:44:20.160 --> 05:44:24.160
He's starting, and the more he's able to take down these neutral camps, etc.

05:44:24.160 --> 05:44:27.160
He's going to get stacked up on the scale mail, the Shyvana Passive.

05:44:27.160 --> 05:44:31.160
He's going to tank here and tank here.

05:44:31.160 --> 05:44:36.160
The Core JJ now matching a lot of Chelsea's movements towards this mid-lane as well.

05:44:36.160 --> 05:44:40.160
Realizing that he kind of needs to make sure the Chelsea isn't operating around this mid-lane again.

05:44:40.160 --> 05:44:43.160
It is hard when Homestead doesn't have the ultimate available.

05:44:43.160 --> 05:44:48.560
We're good JJ just needs to keep track. So the trouble that's the dragons to send out coming in fireball to follow up

05:44:48.560 --> 05:44:53.040
Well, Brett doing a lot of work. It's Jose de Odo now the one on the killing spree

05:44:53.040 --> 05:44:57.200
Just consistently walking away with those last hits to further extend his lead

05:44:57.200 --> 05:45:02.420
Yeah, just pulling off of us comp in the topside making sure that he's able to play on the mid and again team liquid

05:45:02.420 --> 05:45:04.200
Just feel like they're one step ahead

05:45:04.200 --> 05:45:09.160
It's DCG trying desperately to make something happen to try and play their style of game

05:45:09.320 --> 05:45:12.400
But unfortunately, you can't get their footing at this international stage

05:45:12.400 --> 05:45:22.320
team Liquid scrapping better and better against this DCG lineup, some hiccups here and there,

05:45:22.320 --> 05:45:26.280
but not so comfortable at this point in the game, Chelsea on the way down that spotted

05:45:26.280 --> 05:45:30.440
up by this control ward, of course still waiting off to the side.

05:45:30.440 --> 05:45:34.200
And I think for Team Liquid like having a performance like this really does going to help you out

05:45:34.200 --> 05:45:37.760
because again, when we're going against KC tomorrow, just getting that confidence back

05:45:37.760 --> 05:45:43.240
after the T1, 3-0 them, I think is going to be massive for them because they played fantastic

05:45:43.240 --> 05:45:45.720
and had some good showings against T1 as well.

05:45:45.720 --> 05:45:51.160
We're just having the confidence and the control that they had all series long speaks to what

05:45:51.160 --> 05:45:53.320
this team is capable of achieving.

05:45:53.320 --> 05:45:58.940
And it's not also not just that it will be an elimination match, but it's the first hopefully

05:45:58.940 --> 05:46:06.020
not only NA EU matchup, right, which means the stakes are so much higher for all the

05:46:06.020 --> 05:46:08.580
the players involved and for the fans at home.

05:46:08.580 --> 05:46:10.180
Or see, I haven't closed this one out yet,

05:46:10.180 --> 05:46:13.120
but they're just in such a favorable position.

05:46:14.900 --> 05:46:16.820
I need to see how TO look to extend this lead

05:46:16.820 --> 05:46:17.940
or what they go for next.

05:46:17.940 --> 05:46:21.260
Jose Diodo has been fantastic this game,

05:46:21.260 --> 05:46:24.320
just participating in getting three of the five kills.

05:46:25.820 --> 05:46:26.940
Shana, who starts the snowball,

05:46:26.940 --> 05:46:31.020
just gets so ungodly tanky for free.

05:46:31.020 --> 05:46:33.180
Yeah, and I think like himself and CoreJJ

05:46:33.180 --> 05:46:35.860
have been doing such a good job so far in this tournament,

05:46:35.860 --> 05:46:38.380
like they were excellent yesterday,

05:46:38.380 --> 05:46:39.660
even though they couldn't pick up the win,

05:46:39.660 --> 05:46:41.140
like Jorge J's Nautilus, I thought,

05:46:41.140 --> 05:46:43.300
was superb in that game too.

05:46:43.300 --> 05:46:44.940
And then Jose Diodos, Poppy, really,

05:46:44.940 --> 05:46:48.140
like finding key moments to set themselves up for,

05:46:48.140 --> 05:46:51.540
what was it, very hard fall game two against T1?

05:46:51.540 --> 05:46:53.700
And I think this has kind of become the core focus

05:46:53.700 --> 05:46:56.500
for them now is, can they just continue to play

05:46:56.500 --> 05:46:57.940
through this strong jungle support?

05:46:57.940 --> 05:46:58.780
Yeah, you mentioned the Poppy,

05:46:58.780 --> 05:47:00.300
but also the Wukong in game one, right?

05:47:00.300 --> 05:47:01.860
83.3 kill participation.

05:47:01.860 --> 05:47:03.780
There really wasn't anything that happened on the map

05:47:03.780 --> 05:47:05.940
without this man being involved.

05:47:05.940 --> 05:47:07.620
You see in the mid lane.

05:47:07.620 --> 05:47:08.620
All team laid down there.

05:47:08.620 --> 05:47:10.620
Team Liquid setting up on the bottom side.

05:47:13.060 --> 05:47:15.540
You can see DCG getting a little antsy.

05:47:15.540 --> 05:47:17.620
The second that Team Liquid disappeared

05:47:17.620 --> 05:47:19.940
because Jose Dioto on the way.

05:47:19.940 --> 05:47:22.140
So shall see, still relatively comfortable

05:47:22.140 --> 05:47:25.540
as long as he's got a hook shot.

05:47:25.540 --> 05:47:26.660
Keep him safe.

05:47:26.660 --> 05:47:27.940
Top of the match, beating a little bit harder now.

05:47:27.940 --> 05:47:28.900
Thornaz, Gimara, and Zoderspelt.

05:47:28.900 --> 05:47:30.620
That's the Dragons descend immediately

05:47:30.620 --> 05:47:31.460
to the molten breath.

05:47:31.460 --> 05:47:32.300
The shockwave gets a little bit of space.

05:47:32.300 --> 05:47:36.300
They're just simply too much aimed in this direction.

05:47:36.300 --> 05:47:38.300
They can't outmaneuver that. Another kill.

05:47:38.300 --> 05:47:40.300
TL's favour.

05:47:40.300 --> 05:47:43.300
The fear and the twin bite doing so much work in that fight.

05:47:43.300 --> 05:47:45.300
Making sure they're able to pick that one up

05:47:45.300 --> 05:47:48.300
and Jose Diodo doing a good job of tanking turret to enable quids.

05:47:48.300 --> 05:47:52.300
Pick after pick. This is kind of starting to slip away from DCG.

05:47:52.300 --> 05:47:55.300
Still a 2.5k gold lead for Team Liquid.

05:47:55.300 --> 05:47:57.300
Can this Wukong do something to change those?

05:47:57.300 --> 05:48:00.300
Spotted on the vision. Good diligence from TL.

05:48:00.300 --> 05:48:05.300
If they're winning out on the 2v2 to respect the potential of someone else getting involved or have they respect a core excellent handshake

05:48:05.300 --> 05:48:08.500
To deny the engage pop 9 now going to go in flash forward to get the cycle on going

05:48:08.500 --> 05:48:11.300
That's the ulti across the entire team. Hoss will take it over doing a lot of work

05:48:11.300 --> 05:48:15.140
If Yon tries to close away through the front line needs to kill needs to reset but cannot quite get it

05:48:15.220 --> 05:48:19.540
Team Liquid overconfident they saw pop 9 there, but they thought they could outplay

05:48:19.620 --> 05:48:23.260
Yeah, they thought the handshake would be enough for Chelsea getting the

05:48:23.740 --> 05:48:29.140
Well hang on Morgan going all in that's the dominance used traded for Jax's ultimate is foreign just tries to hold on Morgan

05:48:29.140 --> 05:48:31.860
Does he want to tank the tower? The answer is yes, before trying to get tricky.

05:48:31.860 --> 05:48:35.140
That's the counter strike. It doesn't matter when he's getting sliced and diced.

05:48:35.900 --> 05:48:39.780
The Jax turns into mincemeat in the topside. Morgan getting the solo kill.

05:48:39.780 --> 05:48:42.540
And speaking of more plays, actually helping him, Quinn.

05:48:42.540 --> 05:48:43.140
He's going mid.

05:48:44.100 --> 05:48:45.980
Shockwave available. He's clearly able to walk away.

05:48:45.980 --> 05:48:46.700
He wants to get something back.

05:48:46.700 --> 05:48:49.100
Renashausi, Jose Diodo running in, but without the dragon's descent.

05:48:49.100 --> 05:48:51.740
Doesn't have that reliable gap close.

05:48:52.100 --> 05:48:55.460
It's still a big lead for Team Liquid, but credit to TCG.

05:48:55.460 --> 05:48:57.740
They are always finding these angles to get kills.

05:48:57.740 --> 05:49:02.380
Yeah, so I wanted to give a shout out to Morgan there because I think he's also someone who's really stepped up like we talked

05:49:02.380 --> 05:49:06.340
About domestically him being much more of the tank player already finding those success on the carries

05:49:06.340 --> 05:49:07.980
But again storing yesterday

05:49:07.980 --> 05:49:12.340
He was bringing out the spice with things like the asshole way more of these carries now

05:49:12.340 --> 05:49:19.260
We're seeing it again today against foreign who like I think people won't realize just how impactful he has been as a top laner

05:49:19.260 --> 05:49:21.900
Sure, it was domestically like it has been so much conversation

05:49:21.900 --> 05:49:24.740
But potentially be one of the best players if not the best player in the region

05:49:24.740 --> 05:49:29.600
But unfortunately he's not been able to show his team liquids move into this bottom side and want to punish the bottom lane

05:49:30.100 --> 05:49:34.620
They do I said over the dragons said immediately gonna jump on a shot to stop any potential playmaking

05:49:35.180 --> 05:49:39.220
Tax sweep not enough to show see he's gonna run it off a little bit more. How?

05:49:40.420 --> 05:49:42.420
How is he not dead team liquid?

05:49:43.780 --> 05:49:47.180
So many times this series filing their opponents on the brink of death

05:49:47.660 --> 05:49:50.040
Sub 100 HP before he popped the pot

05:49:50.040 --> 05:49:58.040
But again, it's more loss for Fonga. He's going to try and re-enter into this bottom lane. Has this part of the jungle to TL?

05:49:58.040 --> 05:50:05.040
I think, rightfully, going to give up that space, but still getting more and more of this structure's plates is going to be very nice for the team to go bot lane.

05:50:05.040 --> 05:50:11.040
Yeah, just extending the goal lead. Fonga doesn't have access to the flash. Is Morgan and Fonga just continue to trade blows?

05:50:11.040 --> 05:50:21.040
But Chausi now, he's level 6, 8 seconds away from the ultimate being back available, Sundered Sky finally here, alongside the Blood Song.

05:50:21.040 --> 05:50:28.040
This is one powerful Camille core, 7 seconds on the hostile takeover, incredibly small window of timing.

05:50:28.040 --> 05:50:31.040
If they go right now, it is incredibly favorable for DCG.

05:50:32.040 --> 05:50:34.800
CG getting pushed back, Team Liquid respecting a heal pop.

05:50:34.800 --> 05:50:38.560
Cycle pop as well, and Morgan starting to lose out in the 1v1.

05:50:38.560 --> 05:50:40.320
Rage stacking, not able to grab that healing,

05:50:40.320 --> 05:50:41.400
but Jose DiGiotto is here.

05:50:41.400 --> 05:50:42.880
That's the route to Spudder to find the stun.

05:50:42.880 --> 05:50:44.680
It's a split fight, but Team Liquid just backing away

05:50:44.680 --> 05:50:46.480
in the bottom lane, Florin hoping to find the kill.

05:50:46.480 --> 05:50:49.680
The ward not quite there in time, Florin taking down.

05:50:49.680 --> 05:50:51.120
Jose DiGiotto taking a bite.

05:50:51.120 --> 05:50:53.200
And a DCG's top laner is now.

05:50:53.200 --> 05:50:54.480
Yon looking for her a little bit more.

05:50:54.480 --> 05:50:55.480
That's the hostile takeover.

05:50:55.480 --> 05:50:57.280
Berserk, Yon getting a little bit more space for you

05:50:57.280 --> 05:50:58.360
to dash back into Shousey.

05:50:58.360 --> 05:51:00.440
Nice sidestep, but it's Core who's been caught out

05:51:00.440 --> 05:51:04.700
in the meantime, Pop9 over commingo, they've got the tower standing behind them, Quinn is here as well.

05:51:04.700 --> 05:51:08.620
Fang running, flashed over the wall, it doesn't matter, piercingly lit.

05:51:09.660 --> 05:51:16.440
Bayon is Pop9 desperately now trying to retreat, DCG overstaying their welcome in this bottom lane,

05:51:16.440 --> 05:51:21.780
Quinn dropping the ulti, tries to go for the clone trick, but TL not falling for it.

05:51:21.780 --> 05:51:28.980
TL, they TP in, they outplay on the bottom side, they get the kill top as well.

05:51:28.980 --> 05:51:37.980
They just blew this game open. What was kind of a 2k gold lead suddenly ballooned to a 6,000 gold lead for Team Liquid?

05:51:37.980 --> 05:51:41.980
That is the problem with the enemy team. That's that slight lead and you take these big aggressive fights.

05:51:41.980 --> 05:51:44.980
They start to farm up. They get these objectives on top of it.

05:51:44.980 --> 05:51:49.980
Shaoxi, without Boots, you'll steal something. So, yeah, that's possible.

05:51:49.980 --> 05:51:51.980
Unlikely, but definitely possible.

05:51:51.980 --> 05:51:55.980
Shaoxi running for his life. Yan getting a stronger and stronger. One and a half items.

05:51:55.980 --> 05:52:02.620
Items not too far ahead of fun in terms of full item completion, but in terms of raw gold value the items he's picked up wildly far ahead

05:52:04.180 --> 05:52:06.180
Jose Diodo

05:52:06.300 --> 05:52:10.020
Pretty big Diffie in the Jiffy here. Mr. Dagda

05:52:10.540 --> 05:52:15.980
Yeah, I'm not making some place happen, but that Bob play going where I just feels like it might spell the end

05:52:16.500 --> 05:52:20.300
Yeah, I mean, it's great to see Jose Diodo back at the main stage when we get to

05:52:20.300 --> 05:52:25.940
to see this play as I thought maybe it was actually Chelsea. Oh, he did get clipped by

05:52:25.940 --> 05:52:29.940
the thought he'd gone past the hostile takeover. But there's just no fault. You don't have

05:52:29.940 --> 05:52:34.420
the root con there with that ultimate. So Team Liquid that knowing that Fred isn't there,

05:52:34.420 --> 05:52:38.820
happy to just play forward. The double tap on the phone just enough as well. And pop

05:52:38.820 --> 05:52:43.100
nine, try to get something back on the court JJ, but there's just nothing. Again, I think

05:52:43.100 --> 05:52:46.700
trying to go for that play without the root con ultimate just makes it a little bit lack

05:52:46.700 --> 05:52:53.660
cluster. That it does as he's about to find Pop9 in his jungle. Pop9 does not win this

05:52:53.660 --> 05:52:57.980
one V1, but he may be able to escape with his life, although the odds of that are getting

05:52:57.980 --> 05:53:02.980
lower and lower as he's being chased back into Team Liquid's base. Yon looking for the

05:53:02.980 --> 05:53:07.020
blast cone to follow him over the wall. Yeah, promise this isn't A-Ram, there is no cannon

05:53:07.020 --> 05:53:12.060
to get you out of this one. But if there was, this would have been an escape most certainly.

05:53:12.060 --> 05:53:18.060
Instead, he'll be donating a kill to Yon, who's happy to have the additional gold.

05:53:18.060 --> 05:53:22.060
Yeah, and he's already a face, so I guess he spends it immediately.

05:53:22.060 --> 05:53:23.060
Efficiency!

05:53:23.060 --> 05:53:24.060
There you go.

05:53:24.060 --> 05:53:25.060
Let's keep for Yon.

05:53:25.060 --> 05:53:29.060
Yon will remember this is the day where he most certainly caught Captain Jack Sparrow.

05:53:29.060 --> 05:53:32.060
We can take a look here at the Coinbase Gold Grimes.

05:53:32.060 --> 05:53:38.060
There's a lot of kill money in favor of Mr. Jose Diodo, and also a pretty decent lead

05:53:38.060 --> 05:53:40.600
in terms of jungle camps picked up.

05:53:43.020 --> 05:53:54.780
OK, Core JJ. I think he's about to die, I would say that he is all on his lonesome here in the bottom lane does get a three man shockwave, but the fear is there just to stop any further follow up and team liquid will grab another.

05:53:56.260 --> 05:54:08.020
And I think like this is kind of what we're seeing again, like DCG just never in position to like look for a cross map, look for something in response. It's always as they're on reset that these players continue to come come across and it is rather difficult to do that.

05:54:08.060 --> 05:54:12.060
They're unfortunate because again team Nick would then get to reset. They're gonna push out these waves

05:54:12.060 --> 05:54:17.780
You got dragon. That's a bit of spawns if they're gonna pick that one up a third dragon and potential for an infernal soul

05:54:18.620 --> 05:54:22.700
Unfortunately for DCG and looks like their tournament might be coming to a close fairly soon

05:54:25.460 --> 05:54:31.420
Difficult to find the avenue for come back chow see the only individual member with a gold lead and my gosh the win probability

05:54:31.420 --> 05:54:38.420
Powered by AWS showing us a pretty clear picture, kind of repeating what you already said yourself, but Morgan might be in trouble

05:54:38.420 --> 05:54:45.420
Might win the game, but he might lose his life in the process. DCG sending four members to the top lane and they will get their man

05:54:45.420 --> 05:54:53.420
They will lose a drake, they will lose a tower, maybe another tower, but they got their kill and they're going to grab that objective bounty

05:54:53.420 --> 05:54:58.420
So at least it's something for DCG, but as you say the gold lead still fairly

05:54:58.420 --> 05:55:02.020
sizable for our team liquid, especially as they take that tier two in the bottom lane.

05:55:02.020 --> 05:55:07.180
And they're kind of looking at, okay a minute until the baron, you have decent baron take as well

05:55:07.180 --> 05:55:12.980
for our team liquid. So one mistake from DCG where someone gets cost can immediately be that purple worm.

05:55:12.980 --> 05:55:19.900
Absolutely can. Still that minute left. So we'll see how soon that mistake comes out. Chausi.

05:55:19.900 --> 05:55:23.920
I'm going to face first to CoreJJ, does get the ward down, Core is going to be easy to

05:55:23.920 --> 05:55:24.920
clear it.

05:55:24.920 --> 05:55:27.420
Nice little chunk of damage from the attack plus dissonance.

05:55:27.420 --> 05:55:32.780
I'm playing it a little bit fast and loose here, does a lot of damage, two and a half

05:55:32.780 --> 05:55:33.780
items.

05:55:33.780 --> 05:55:37.820
Yeah, turn up on him's barrier and flash, I think he can very well play up on this.

05:55:37.820 --> 05:55:39.280
What was the other one on the side?

05:55:39.280 --> 05:55:41.860
Maybe looking for the dragon's descent angle.

05:55:41.860 --> 05:55:45.180
DCG grouped up, but it's split pressure.

05:55:45.180 --> 05:55:48.060
You can see Morgan debating if he wants to come to the mid lane and the top lane to

05:55:48.060 --> 05:55:50.120
a quick, already pushing in.

05:55:50.120 --> 05:55:52.260
Starting to look to start chunking away at that.

05:55:52.260 --> 05:55:52.860
I mean, it's already chunked.

05:55:52.860 --> 05:55:53.900
OK, well, chunked away.

05:55:53.900 --> 05:55:55.980
It was chip.

05:55:55.980 --> 05:55:56.580
Chunk chip.

05:55:56.580 --> 05:55:58.340
You kind of just looked at it sideways,

05:55:58.340 --> 05:55:59.020
and it would die.

05:55:59.020 --> 05:56:01.100
Kind of, you know, a deep little breath onto it

05:56:01.100 --> 05:56:02.980
is now Chausy thrown forward.

05:56:02.980 --> 05:56:04.700
Immediate ulti floor, looking to follow up,

05:56:04.700 --> 05:56:05.620
and the hostile takeovers there.

05:56:05.620 --> 05:56:08.100
Chausy's just getting beaten out by his own top laner.

05:56:08.100 --> 05:56:09.420
Core hoping to hold on, but he's not

05:56:09.420 --> 05:56:10.620
able to get the reset in time.

05:56:10.620 --> 05:56:13.300
Yon exhausted, but still finding a double.

05:56:13.300 --> 05:56:15.620
Double kill in the play.

05:56:15.620 --> 05:56:17.660
Jumping on to Core JJ.

05:56:17.660 --> 05:56:20.960
Sure, he's squishier, but that just means he's on us all the time.

05:56:20.960 --> 05:56:25.580
He needs to dish out the damage and there we go, immediate bar in turn with the picks.

05:56:25.940 --> 05:56:27.880
We're walking in looking to solo Pop 9.

05:56:28.720 --> 05:56:32.040
Road about forward, ulti from the clone, gonna delay, quit there.

05:56:32.040 --> 05:56:34.280
So there's now a TP coming in the mid lane as well.

05:56:34.280 --> 05:56:35.280
That's gonna be Floren.

05:56:36.800 --> 05:56:38.560
But he's not gonna be able to do anything here.

05:56:38.560 --> 05:56:42.840
So we'll just be Team Liquid picking up the big purple worm, further extending that lead.

05:56:42.840 --> 05:56:48.220
is quid now looks to go in contest pop 9 who really has no business being on that

05:56:48.220 --> 05:56:51.620
kid was it you're going over the whole ready look for bit more pop 9 they're

05:56:51.620 --> 05:56:56.300
looking to save their jungler they will get their jungle out just about pop 9

05:56:56.300 --> 05:57:02.060
that was a close one yeah but it's all clouds and we're really grasping for the

05:57:02.060 --> 05:57:05.700
silver lining that this point is chow see goes into the same time the stock

05:57:05.700 --> 05:57:09.780
wave comes out so easy flash for quid foreign going in for a bit more Morgan

05:57:09.780 --> 05:57:12.540
struggling a little bit in this one be more matches he got further into the

05:57:12.540 --> 05:57:15.460
but Florin absolutely cannot match Quinn right now.

05:57:15.460 --> 05:57:16.700
He just does a ton of damage,

05:57:16.700 --> 05:57:18.460
counters right there, flash away.

05:57:18.460 --> 05:57:18.960
The fur.

05:57:18.960 --> 05:57:20.460
Next tech, Rey.

05:57:20.460 --> 05:57:21.960
And Team Liquid.

05:57:21.960 --> 05:57:22.960
Gonna break open the base.

05:57:22.960 --> 05:57:24.660
We'll see if they want to push for an end.

05:57:24.660 --> 05:57:27.460
As Yon is getting exceptionally low.

05:57:27.460 --> 05:57:28.460
Bang.

05:57:28.460 --> 05:57:28.960
Fun.

05:57:28.960 --> 05:57:32.460
Once it's done, it does get better work done.

05:57:32.460 --> 05:57:34.760
And CoreJJ now kind of needs help as well.

05:57:34.760 --> 05:57:36.260
No.

05:57:36.260 --> 05:57:38.260
Side step with the pro about to get away from the handshake.

05:57:38.260 --> 05:57:39.860
CoreJJ.

05:57:39.860 --> 05:57:43.700
Getting lower will fall. There's going to be no kill reset here.

05:57:43.700 --> 05:57:47.300
So a nice pit to at least slow the Baron advance from the side of DCG.

05:57:47.300 --> 05:57:49.140
Yeah, a bit of a whoopsy there from Team Liquid.

05:57:49.140 --> 05:57:52.660
Like Fung managing to get Yon off a mid lane tower

05:57:52.660 --> 05:57:54.420
and then being able to collapse onto the top side.

05:57:54.420 --> 05:57:56.820
So Team Liquid overstaying their welcome to base.

05:57:56.820 --> 05:57:58.980
Still though, I mean you get to keep this

05:57:58.980 --> 05:58:01.780
Rebel Baron powerplay going until that potential soul,

05:58:01.780 --> 05:58:05.460
which makes it really difficult for DCG to try and answer.

05:58:05.460 --> 05:58:12.460
We're going to walk in here anyway.

05:58:12.460 --> 05:58:23.460
Alright, I'm concerned, he does have a pretty decent item advantage, or just, we're going

05:58:23.460 --> 05:58:25.460
to stop, we're going to stop running graphs.

05:58:25.460 --> 05:58:27.460
Yeah, we're going to head his schedule on this one.

05:58:27.460 --> 05:58:29.740
Team Liquid is winning.

05:58:29.740 --> 05:58:30.240
Stop.

05:58:30.240 --> 05:58:36.760
Stop bringing up the stats.

05:58:36.760 --> 05:58:38.360
The people understand.

05:58:38.360 --> 05:58:39.840
We get it.

05:58:39.840 --> 05:58:41.760
It's all blue.

05:58:41.760 --> 05:58:44.120
Unless you find out who's going to be 6-7 after this game,

05:58:44.120 --> 05:58:44.920
what a champion.

05:58:44.920 --> 05:58:46.720
That's true.

05:58:46.720 --> 05:58:48.400
Morgan in trouble now.

05:58:48.400 --> 05:58:49.800
It's just going to get picked off here.

05:58:49.800 --> 05:58:51.160
Really no way out of this one.

05:58:51.160 --> 05:58:52.040
I take it back.

05:58:52.040 --> 05:58:53.600
There's always a way out of this one.

05:58:53.600 --> 05:58:54.440
Morgan has lived.

05:58:54.440 --> 05:58:57.080
There is a giant dragon running in three members

05:58:57.080 --> 05:58:59.320
as a DCG and Morgan looking for a better revenge against Florent,

05:58:59.320 --> 05:59:02.080
from getting completely and totally cold.

05:59:02.080 --> 05:59:04.600
Not even Chousy's going to be able to get away.

05:59:04.600 --> 05:59:07.400
Gravity Field is there, Yon dominating.

05:59:07.400 --> 05:59:10.000
The victory marks coming in for Team Liquid.

05:59:10.000 --> 05:59:11.920
Team Liquid just styling on them now.

05:59:11.920 --> 05:59:17.320
Yon with the flash, managing to sidestep Shousey and DCG.

05:59:17.320 --> 05:59:19.440
They got two members out of the map,

05:59:19.440 --> 05:59:22.120
but their towers are being absolutely torn through

05:59:22.120 --> 05:59:23.880
in this mid lane, or top lane.

05:59:23.880 --> 05:59:27.040
The top side recalling, hoping to mount one last desk

05:59:27.040 --> 05:59:30.520
The final moments of their MSI run, Shockwave onto 2,

05:59:30.520 --> 05:59:33.920
Florin immediately responding, the countershike only connecting on the 1 and core,

05:59:33.920 --> 05:59:37.520
living for an F for a second. The reset is there, but he is gonna die.

05:59:37.520 --> 05:59:42.240
Not able to find a kill to keep Core standing, so Team Liquid gonna settle for the inhibitor

05:59:42.240 --> 05:59:43.840
and just back off.

05:59:43.840 --> 05:59:48.480
But that's one dead now with us, so little bit of talking about it, so maybe DCG,

05:59:48.480 --> 05:59:51.360
you can already see the pings kind of immediately rush that one down.

05:59:51.360 --> 05:59:54.480
So might have just bought himself a little bit of time.

05:59:54.480 --> 05:59:56.480
that they have

05:59:57.940 --> 05:59:59.100
At least on life again

05:59:59.100 --> 06:00:02.600
It is or probably would be one of the most insane

06:00:03.000 --> 06:00:08.400
Comebacks of all time if DCG could win this and for their sake I want it, but it just feels impossible

06:00:08.480 --> 06:00:14.480
This Drake is not enough to put them anywhere near close in this game in terms of overall control

06:00:14.680 --> 06:00:18.480
But they will grab it. They will slow down the soul. They have stalled at the Baron

06:00:18.600 --> 06:00:21.600
So yes, there's an inhibitor down, but they've at least bought themselves a bit of time

06:00:21.600 --> 06:00:32.760
just a little kind of like oh wait is going in I know about that one that was

06:00:32.760 --> 06:00:36.480
not it with quick back step they're going all in on quit now who's just dropped

06:00:36.480 --> 06:00:38.960
his all he'll coming in from their damn shit he don't come through the wall and

06:00:38.960 --> 06:00:42.520
they're all dying they're going out of their terms wrong no one will ever say

06:00:42.520 --> 06:00:50.000
DCG did not go out fighting sometimes you just kind of got a doll back the

06:00:50.000 --> 06:00:55.000
fighting but that just isn't in the DNA of this team. It is real of deep cross

06:00:55.000 --> 06:01:00.940
gaming unfortunately not able to pick up a win as Team Liquid swarmed towards the

06:01:00.940 --> 06:01:05.060
base. Team Liquid eyes on the prize looking to close out eager for a match

06:01:05.060 --> 06:01:12.720
at verse KC tomorrow. Core delaying the recalls also chasing for the kill here.

06:01:12.720 --> 06:01:18.800
likely to finish off core, but the game still poised and shall see finally back up

06:01:19.640 --> 06:01:28.320
TL a clean sweep over DCG a nice shift in momentum after their series yesterday as they gear up to face KC tomorrow

06:01:30.720 --> 06:01:37.240
A strong performance from team liquid as you say should be a very interesting series tomorrow I

06:01:37.240 --> 06:01:43.240
Well learned, like it was a confident performance from side to finish from this team.

06:01:43.240 --> 06:01:52.240
I had it most certainly was. This bumps across the board. Excited to see TL tomorrow.

06:01:52.240 --> 06:02:00.240
And of course, a nice bounce back. Yeah, good to see some love for TL in the house here.

06:02:00.240 --> 06:02:05.240
Obviously a very T1 dominated house in terms of fandom, but I've seen the T1 fans out there.

06:02:05.240 --> 06:02:09.760
on the opposite side, Mark's out to their opposition.

06:02:09.760 --> 06:02:12.200
But for more on that series, let's set it over to our analyst

06:02:12.200 --> 06:02:14.200
desk.

06:02:14.200 --> 06:02:17.120
I know you're saying a lot of T1 fans out there.

06:02:17.120 --> 06:02:19.440
There's a lot of Bro Taliq fans out there.

06:02:19.440 --> 06:02:23.080
Lord Morgan getting the victory here in front of the audience,

06:02:23.080 --> 06:02:27.440
alongside Team Liquid over Rila of Deep Cross Gaming,

06:02:27.440 --> 06:02:30.600
who will take this experience on the international stage

06:02:30.600 --> 06:02:35.080
and use it to build upon the next split over in the LCP

06:02:35.080 --> 06:02:37.920
in hope for an international win next time.

06:02:39.060 --> 06:02:40.600
But they did not have their best

06:02:40.600 --> 06:02:43.120
while Team Liquid Alienware looked back to their best,

06:02:43.120 --> 06:02:44.640
especially in that game number three.

06:02:44.640 --> 06:02:47.360
Yeah, a message to Real of Deep Cross Gaming,

06:02:47.360 --> 06:02:49.880
of course, love to them who a lot has happened

06:02:49.880 --> 06:02:51.000
in such a short amount of time.

06:02:51.000 --> 06:02:54.720
They were in the PCS, then they qualified to the LCP.

06:02:54.720 --> 06:02:57.320
They went through two honestly incredible splits

06:02:57.320 --> 06:02:58.720
to be in the finals of both.

06:02:58.720 --> 06:03:00.680
And so for them to be on a stage like this,

06:03:00.680 --> 06:03:02.280
first time being on an international stage

06:03:02.280 --> 06:03:03.760
for almost all of them other than Chelsea,

06:03:03.760 --> 06:03:08.760
I remember correctly like it is a ton of experience for them to look back on and it won't be the last time

06:03:08.760 --> 06:03:12.420
We'll see them. I'm sure yeah, it's obviously tough not getting a single game win

06:03:12.420 --> 06:03:16.480
But I think today was a much better representation of the team they are

06:03:16.480 --> 06:03:20.760
Yeah, yesterday was they showed more and imagine if they had more time in the tournament

06:03:20.760 --> 06:03:22.440
Maybe we get more more glimpses

06:03:22.440 --> 06:03:27.840
It's just getting more experience job going against a lot of players with a lot of international experience in the planes

06:03:27.840 --> 06:03:32.760
And they've had a very quick ascent to get up to this level. Yeah, take a little bit of time. Yeah

06:03:32.760 --> 06:03:35.200
Yeah, 3-0's, 3-0's, gentlemen.

06:03:35.200 --> 06:03:37.920
It has just been some fast, fast series,

06:03:37.920 --> 06:03:40.080
and I think with Real of Deep Cross gaming,

06:03:40.080 --> 06:03:41.560
fighting was the only way on through.

06:03:41.560 --> 06:03:43.320
They tried to play slow in one of the games,

06:03:43.320 --> 06:03:44.600
and just didn't quite work out.

06:03:44.600 --> 06:03:46.640
And this one, they were doubling down,

06:03:46.640 --> 06:03:48.960
and doubling down, and doubling down, just like you said.

06:03:48.960 --> 06:03:50.960
Oh, they did it that first series.

06:03:50.960 --> 06:03:53.160
This one got a little bit out of control here.

06:03:53.160 --> 06:03:55.280
Yeah, I mean, they got the first blood on Yon,

06:03:55.280 --> 06:04:00.160
but then they actually took over 4TL from that side.

06:04:00.160 --> 06:04:05.720
Yeah, and I will say, if it wasn't a 3-0 for this one, I would have been a little bit concerned.

06:04:05.720 --> 06:04:08.680
Only because everyone else is getting a 3-0.

06:04:08.680 --> 06:04:10.680
I didn't get a 3-0.

06:04:10.680 --> 06:04:12.680
I don't want to be a lame guy.

06:04:12.680 --> 06:04:14.680
We're now parry.

06:04:14.680 --> 06:04:16.680
I compare all my life.

06:04:16.680 --> 06:04:25.180
And now in a position where T1, top of the group, 3-0 to F1 they faced, DCG, bottom of the group, bottom of the plans, 0-3 to F1 else.

06:04:25.180 --> 06:04:28.680
Only know is that T1 and KC are in the middle.

06:04:28.680 --> 06:04:33.480
They are right now, they've been worse than T1, and they've been better than DCG.

06:04:33.480 --> 06:04:37.640
That's all the information they have to go on. It's the same scores as well, so...

06:04:37.640 --> 06:04:42.120
Are you very excited for TL versus KC? Because they're the one that's surrounded by the enemy,

06:04:42.120 --> 06:04:44.120
by the way. You're surrounded by North Americans.

06:04:50.200 --> 06:04:54.440
Yeah, I will say though, we're going to have an interview in just a little bit here with

06:04:54.440 --> 06:05:00.440
I think the biggest beneficiary from this series, and especially that last game, was Jan.

06:05:00.440 --> 06:05:03.440
He was under a microscope for some of his performances earlier.

06:05:03.440 --> 06:05:09.440
And then getting his hands on the Lucian and being able to play on the edge like we've seen him do for so many years once again,

06:05:09.440 --> 06:05:11.440
must feel really good to watch.

06:05:11.440 --> 06:05:15.440
Yeah, especially, you know, at the end there, you can see my flashing though, Renata coming at him.

06:05:15.440 --> 06:05:16.440
Yeah.

06:05:16.440 --> 06:05:17.440
That's the ultimate.

06:05:17.440 --> 06:05:21.440
And you can tell, you know, he's definitely, he's definitely warming up here on the stage.

06:05:21.440 --> 06:05:25.440
Hopefully that does bode well for tomorrow's matchup.

06:05:25.440 --> 06:05:27.440
You know, him vs. Callist in the bottom lane.

06:05:27.440 --> 06:05:30.440
Absolutely. I mean, this, I feel like the series kind of gave confidence to a lot of team-looker friends

06:05:30.440 --> 06:05:34.440
that were looking for this, right? You build a roster around this bottom lane,

06:05:34.440 --> 06:05:39.440
Cordier, Jay, and Yon, and for him to not have the performance that you really wanted for the entire year,

06:05:39.440 --> 06:05:43.440
up until this point, now we're starting to see kind of like the sparks start to fly,

06:05:43.440 --> 06:05:46.440
so I want to see what they look like versus Callist and Buzio.

06:05:46.440 --> 06:05:49.440
Aux, who impressed you the most from this team look way into Alienware roster?

06:05:49.440 --> 06:05:54.480
I think it's been on great form. I think that's some great moment yesterday as well

06:05:54.480 --> 06:05:58.000
But today the Akali the rise the victory in that last game

06:05:58.000 --> 06:06:00.680
It just fell as I said for this game

06:06:00.680 --> 06:06:03.600
He's like the eye in the storm when everything else going a bit chaotic

06:06:03.600 --> 06:06:08.820
He's just putting in that solid performance building up a lead carrying and just taking over the game

06:06:08.820 --> 06:06:15.460
And honestly the the whole topside to been pretty happy with them. Yeah, Morgan when they were losing to T1

06:06:15.460 --> 06:06:21.380
He was the I felt like lone member that was still having you know good performances playing against Doran

06:06:21.380 --> 06:06:24.480
Of course, we did see Doran also, you know losing out to Kana. So

06:06:25.000 --> 06:06:28.020
maybe is a Doran issue, but you know

06:06:28.020 --> 06:06:32.600
You both both him as well as for Jose Jose having a lot of good moments, too

06:06:32.980 --> 06:06:35.220
Aside from getting like 7-0 smited

06:06:37.620 --> 06:06:43.260
Smites a bit of today guys, we're standing by right now for the Verizon post game interview with core JJ

06:06:45.460 --> 06:06:50.460
The 2026 players stay in Round 2, Loser's match.

06:06:50.460 --> 06:06:53.700
Team Liquid Alienware takes a 3-0 victory

06:06:53.700 --> 06:06:56.260
and moves on to the next round.

06:06:56.260 --> 06:06:59.820
Joining us now is the captain of Team Liquid Alienware,

06:06:59.820 --> 06:07:00.660
KoreJJ.

06:07:00.660 --> 06:07:03.140
Congratulations on the victory.

06:07:03.140 --> 06:07:04.140
Thank you very much.

06:07:07.500 --> 06:07:09.540
This is an international tournament

06:07:09.540 --> 06:07:11.980
being held in your home country, Korea.

06:07:11.980 --> 06:07:14.220
How does it feel to compete here in Korea

06:07:14.220 --> 06:07:27.100
I think I was able to visit Korea often, like worlds first time, but most of the time,

06:07:27.100 --> 06:07:35.300
I was not able to pick up a win, it feels amazing to finally get a win here in Korea.

06:07:35.300 --> 06:07:39.620
This was an elimination match, but you pulled off a 3-0 win today and made it to the next

06:07:39.620 --> 06:07:40.620
round.

06:07:40.620 --> 06:07:43.620
I think the team gained from today's series.

06:07:43.620 --> 06:07:49.620
When we were playing into T1 yesterday, we learned two things.

06:07:49.620 --> 06:07:53.620
T1 is a very strong team, it's a first thing.

06:07:53.620 --> 06:07:57.620
And the second thing was, we are also a very strong team.

06:07:57.620 --> 06:08:05.620
And with this performance, I think we were able to prove that we also have a huge potential.

06:08:05.620 --> 06:08:16.620
So you guys heavily targeting JG's chances in defense today, and we even got to see Jose's Xivana JG, what kind of strategy did you prepare against DCG?

06:08:16.620 --> 06:08:25.620
Our coaching staff did a fantastic job on analyzing the opponent, and they came up with the best draft, so we prepared around that.

06:08:25.620 --> 06:08:33.460
Honestly, yesterday, even today, Jose Dioro, he has such a wide and deep champion pool,

06:08:33.460 --> 06:08:37.220
so it doesn't matter how many champions you ban in the jungle, because he's always ready

06:08:37.220 --> 06:08:42.140
to pull out something else.

06:08:42.140 --> 06:08:48.020
KorJJ, you are truly a veteran among the veterans, and did you know you are the oldest player

06:08:48.020 --> 06:08:49.020
at MSI 2026?

06:08:49.020 --> 06:08:55.460
I mean, it's been like that for a few years now, so I was aware already.

06:08:55.460 --> 06:08:57.460
I don't think that really matters to me anymore.

06:09:00.740 --> 06:09:04.140
What's the secret to maintaining your form so consistently?

06:09:07.900 --> 06:09:10.220
Because I love this experience.

06:09:10.220 --> 06:09:12.100
You know, standing in front of the fans,

06:09:12.100 --> 06:09:15.580
performing in front of them is the biggest motivation for me.

06:09:18.300 --> 06:09:22.900
Today, the top side of the map also has some fantastic performance.

06:09:22.900 --> 06:09:26.900
How has it been playing with Morgan, Posediodo, and Quint?

06:09:28.900 --> 06:09:44.900
There could be some fans who were not catching up with the LCS, but, you know, even just by watching today's series, they can tell they have a lot of talent, they are amazing players, so they are the joy of watching the team like good alien wear.

06:09:44.900 --> 06:09:50.900
And tomorrow you'll be facing Carmen Corp for the spot in round four on the line.

06:09:50.900 --> 06:09:53.900
It's a match between the LCS and the LEC.

06:09:53.900 --> 06:09:56.900
Anything you want to say to Carmen Corp?

06:09:58.900 --> 06:09:59.900
What should I say?

06:10:02.900 --> 06:10:09.900
Nothing really comes to mind at the moment, but I can say this one for sure.

06:10:09.900 --> 06:10:11.900
Last time when we met, we won.

06:10:14.900 --> 06:10:16.900
And also it was in Korea

06:10:19.540 --> 06:10:21.540
And it's gonna be the same

06:10:29.780 --> 06:10:37.380
And that was the captain of Team Liquid Alienware, Kory JJ. Let's give it up one more time for him. Thank you very much

06:10:37.380 --> 06:10:44.060
much. Thank you very much.

06:10:44.060 --> 06:10:46.260
I'm Jason for that translation.

06:10:46.260 --> 06:10:49.420
Yeah. Yeah. Now joining us on the desk is the mid laner

06:10:49.420 --> 06:10:51.860
former MVP of the LCS.

06:10:51.860 --> 06:10:52.620
Thank God.

06:10:52.620 --> 06:10:53.020
Yes.

06:10:53.020 --> 06:10:55.620
He's the one.

06:10:55.620 --> 06:10:56.820
He's the one.

06:10:56.820 --> 06:10:58.220
Yeah. What are you doing?

06:10:58.220 --> 06:10:59.460
I was trying to get him to play.

06:10:59.460 --> 06:11:01.820
He just finished a game.

06:11:01.820 --> 06:11:04.860
He's trying to represent the region in your freaking amount.

06:11:04.860 --> 06:11:05.740
He didn't even play.

06:11:05.740 --> 06:11:06.620
Great. Congratulations.

06:11:06.620 --> 06:11:08.620
How was that last game for you?

06:11:08.620 --> 06:11:09.620
Last game?

06:11:09.620 --> 06:11:10.620
Yeah, yeah.

06:11:10.620 --> 06:11:11.620
Last series.

06:11:11.620 --> 06:11:12.620
Last series.

06:11:12.620 --> 06:11:19.940
I think it was okay level of the game, but I think we still need to put effort on our

06:11:19.940 --> 06:11:27.220
macro or I think we need to play more aggressive that are for building better team.

06:11:27.220 --> 06:11:34.020
I think our today's opponent wasn't the win, but I think we just managed to win because

06:11:34.020 --> 06:11:42.520
We were just better, but I think if you're looking for building KC or T1, I think we should have done something better than this.

06:11:42.520 --> 06:11:47.020
I was asking you before the camera came to us, what was your favorite game to play?

06:11:47.020 --> 06:11:54.020
And you were talking about your Akali game, and your bot lane was flaming you for not telling them when the Taliyah was going to roam?

06:11:54.020 --> 06:12:01.020
I don't think I have a favorite game today, but I think game 3 was a little bit off.

06:12:01.020 --> 06:12:02.020
Definitely not.

06:12:02.020 --> 06:12:04.540
I mean, you had a Camille attacking you non-stop.

06:12:04.540 --> 06:12:06.240
Didn't they tell you that it was coming?

06:12:06.800 --> 06:12:10.400
Yeah, I mean, after game 2, you're almost asking me, like,

06:12:10.400 --> 06:12:13.460
can you core Taliyah most of the time or so I can be ready to...

06:12:13.460 --> 06:12:14.360
...driver?

06:12:14.360 --> 06:12:19.060
And I said, I think, if you can stop crying, if I think you can driver,

06:12:19.840 --> 06:12:24.540
even though I don't communicate, then I think I can get more than just...

06:12:25.240 --> 06:12:26.380
...just backing off.

06:12:26.380 --> 06:12:26.880
Yeah.

06:12:26.880 --> 06:12:29.940
I think pulling Taliyah is gonna make me getting a lot.

06:12:29.940 --> 06:12:30.580
Yeah.

06:12:30.580 --> 06:12:34.580
Maybe that's why I called it a core, single coming move timer in game 3.

06:12:34.580 --> 06:12:39.580
Zero old roam timers there into the mid lane, but you still handled it like a champ.

06:12:39.580 --> 06:12:46.580
Obviously, we saw how the team was feeling after the T1 series in your day number one.

06:12:46.580 --> 06:12:50.580
What was the mentality going into today's match?

06:12:50.580 --> 06:12:54.580
What did you want to accomplish? Other than winning, what else did you want to accomplish?

06:12:54.580 --> 06:13:03.540
I think after we lost T1, our atmosphere was still fine. I was just disappointed.

06:13:03.540 --> 06:13:09.940
I think I could have showed much better performance in game 2 and game 3.

06:13:09.940 --> 06:13:17.940
Even game 1, I was so nervous game 1. I don't even know why. I couldn't even breathe.

06:13:17.940 --> 06:13:18.940
Wow, great.

06:13:22.140 --> 06:13:25.340
I was playing Comfort Champion, but I don't know,

06:13:25.340 --> 06:13:27.660
I couldn't even focus on the game in game one,

06:13:27.660 --> 06:13:31.060
but I think if I was better player,

06:13:31.060 --> 06:13:34.900
or if I played better, I think we should be able to win,

06:13:34.900 --> 06:13:36.860
yeah, and the game, game two.

06:13:36.860 --> 06:13:37.700
That's right.

06:13:37.700 --> 06:13:39.460
That's right, that's right, and that means.

06:13:39.460 --> 06:13:40.980
Yeah.

06:13:40.980 --> 06:13:43.900
I was so disappointed after we lose, and game three,

06:13:45.060 --> 06:13:45.900
whatever.

06:13:45.900 --> 06:13:53.900
We got them. Team Liquid tweeted out that they want to spawn talking to you guys after the game number two and trying to calm everybody down.

06:13:53.900 --> 06:13:57.900
Has that been any help to help you guys focus or relieve any of the nerves?

06:13:57.900 --> 06:14:05.900
Of course, your first series going for the world champions is going to be the most stressful, but how have you guys progressed since then?

06:14:05.900 --> 06:14:14.900
I think after game one I wasn't really nervous to play the game, but I think they were just better and I think I just need to improve a little bit.

06:14:14.900 --> 06:14:21.900
So yeah, that was sad series, but I think we got something to learn from them.

06:14:21.900 --> 06:14:25.900
How are you feeling about going against Yehub in the mid lane?

06:14:25.900 --> 06:14:33.900
I think we should be fine to beat them.

06:14:33.900 --> 06:14:41.900
I know you tend to like beat yourself up a lot, but I feel like, especially during the LCS lower bracket,

06:14:41.900 --> 06:14:47.020
and including coming into this tournament, you have performed incredibly well in a lot of like

06:14:47.020 --> 06:14:52.860
community of like support of that. A, have you felt that and B, what do you attribute to that to?

06:14:52.860 --> 06:14:54.620
Like do you feel like it's a change in mindset?

06:14:56.300 --> 06:15:04.860
Oh, I think it's quite important to me that I don't think it's an important matchup or

06:15:05.580 --> 06:15:09.100
important match or I need to fucking uh...

06:15:09.100 --> 06:15:10.020
No, they're good.

06:15:10.020 --> 06:15:12.980
I need to perform well on stage.

06:15:12.980 --> 06:15:15.420
I think if I have the mindset, I feel more nervous

06:15:15.420 --> 06:15:17.220
and I feel more pressure from them.

06:15:17.220 --> 06:15:17.580
Yeah.

06:15:17.580 --> 06:15:20.420
So I think I just need to have the mindset.

06:15:20.420 --> 06:15:23.500
I just I'm just going to enjoy playing the game.

06:15:23.500 --> 06:15:26.780
And we're just just going to follow.

06:15:26.780 --> 06:15:28.820
Yeah, it's a great mindset to have.

06:15:28.820 --> 06:15:31.580
You've made a lot of your career in North America

06:15:31.580 --> 06:15:35.940
is yet again another NA versus EU matchup.

06:15:35.940 --> 06:15:38.980
Is that special for you that you're playing against Europe?

06:15:38.980 --> 06:15:41.380
potentially knocking them out or they could knock you out?

06:15:41.380 --> 06:15:47.300
Oh, when I first joined HHS, I was looking for playing against EU, but I think this is

06:15:47.300 --> 06:15:50.500
the actually first time I play against EU in international match.

06:15:50.500 --> 06:15:51.500
Yeah!

06:15:51.500 --> 06:15:53.500
So, I'm pretty excited.

06:15:53.500 --> 06:15:54.500
I love that.

06:15:54.500 --> 06:15:56.500
What's the message to the KC guys?

06:15:56.500 --> 06:15:57.500
What's your message?

06:15:57.500 --> 06:15:58.500
Be careful.

06:15:58.500 --> 06:16:01.500
You're not the best.

06:16:01.500 --> 06:16:03.780
Again, everyone, one more time.

06:16:03.780 --> 06:16:07.580
Quid successful today, looking to be successful tomorrow.

06:16:07.580 --> 06:16:08.580
Thanks for watching.

06:16:08.580 --> 06:16:09.580
Also, it's Kobe's birthday.

06:16:09.580 --> 06:16:10.580
Can we wish him happy birthday?

06:16:10.580 --> 06:16:11.580
Yeah, wish him a happy birthday.

06:16:11.580 --> 06:16:12.580
Happy birthday.

06:16:12.580 --> 06:16:20.340
Alright everyone, it has been a heck of a day too, but the eliminations will continue

06:16:20.340 --> 06:16:21.340
on tomorrow.

06:16:21.340 --> 06:16:22.940
It is that elimination match.

06:16:22.940 --> 06:16:25.300
Team Liquid Alienware vs. Karmin Corp.

06:16:25.300 --> 06:16:28.580
NA vs. EU will have that for you tomorrow.

06:16:28.580 --> 06:16:31.660
On behalf of everyone here at MSI, thank you so much for watching.

06:16:31.660 --> 06:16:32.900
We'll see you for more action.

06:16:32.900 --> 06:16:33.900
Bye-bye.

06:16:33.900 --> 06:16:40.500
And Yank actually is going to get dashed on by Paze, the Crescent God comes in as they

06:16:40.500 --> 06:16:44.500
look to try and use Ana to peel and down he will go to the GA.

06:16:44.500 --> 06:16:48.500
Yeah, who is just dead in an instant, you were mentioning the DPS on their calling and

06:16:48.500 --> 06:16:55.500
my god T1 are just going to mow them down, the gnar to fall from the grave.

06:16:55.500 --> 06:17:01.100
That one was a little bit too late for Kanna, speaking of too late, it's too late for KC

06:17:01.100 --> 06:17:03.600
in this series, I think this one's over.

06:17:03.600 --> 06:17:09.040
It's absolutely over a five for zero clean eggs, 27 minutes in.

06:17:09.040 --> 06:17:11.680
T1 make no mistake about it.

06:17:11.680 --> 06:17:13.280
Keep fighting, keep fighting, keep fighting.

06:17:13.280 --> 06:17:14.760
Send it, send it, send it, it's after two more minutes.

06:17:14.760 --> 06:17:15.760
Anywhere is fine.

06:17:18.400 --> 06:17:20.000
Go up the fast grid, go up the bottom, bottom, bottom.

06:17:20.000 --> 06:17:21.200
High wards in, go up the bottom.

06:17:22.200 --> 06:17:25.600
TL, a clean sweep over GCG.

06:17:25.600 --> 06:17:28.000
A nice shift of momentum after their series yesterday

06:17:28.000 --> 06:17:31.200
as they gear up to face KC tomorrow.
