You have to decide. 47:42.840 --> 47:43.840 No, sorry Kasey, yeah. 47:43.840 --> 47:44.840 Kasey, Yehuu? 47:44.840 --> 47:46.340 No, you can decide. 47:46.340 --> 47:47.340 Yehuu, Yehuu. 47:47.340 --> 47:49.340 Oh, Kasey, Kasey, Kasey. 47:49.340 --> 47:50.840 Kasey? Wrong! 47:50.840 --> 47:51.840 It's Team Liquid. 47:51.840 --> 47:53.840 I said Team Liquid and you made me check it! 47:53.840 --> 47:55.840 Absolutely incorrect. 47:55.840 --> 47:57.840 I thought you needed to be strong, Nox. If you want me to trust you, 47:57.840 --> 47:59.840 Zero percent 48:04.880 --> 48:11.680 Question number two moving on a chance to redeem yourselves which seems to support famously be you in a best of five at MSI 48:11.800 --> 48:14.560 I'm starting to wonder if the answer is there's an answer either 48:16.160 --> 48:20.880 Wrong it's both of course. It's both but to be fair what this one 48:20.880 --> 48:24.600 This one's pretty easy to do and I you know what I'm gonna take the alpha 48:24.600 --> 48:29.520 That's my bad. Who hasn't done that both core and boost you have been invested by my bad my bad 48:29.520 --> 48:34.280 I messed up on this question. I apologize. Is this moving on moving on. I'm sorry. I'm sorry 48:34.280 --> 48:39.140 It's my fault. It's my fault. That was just it's like my mind through a Canadian story. Yeah, we heard it 48:39.140 --> 48:43.700 Okay, next question which jungler has a hundred percent win rate on Lee sin this split 48:45.760 --> 48:47.760 Yeah 48:54.600 --> 48:56.440 Correct. 48:56.440 --> 48:57.440 I don't know. 48:57.440 --> 48:58.920 Yike has a lot of room in his game. 48:58.920 --> 48:59.840 Are we zero pressure? 48:59.840 --> 49:00.840 Are we zero? 49:00.840 --> 49:01.480 That one's on me. 49:01.480 --> 49:02.960 I have to take credit for that one. 49:02.960 --> 49:03.460 Wrong. 49:03.460 --> 49:06.560 OK, in my defense, I wasn't here for the entire season. 49:06.560 --> 49:07.480 Moving on. 49:07.480 --> 49:08.920 Question number four. 49:08.920 --> 49:11.320 This one, very easy, extremely obvious. 49:11.320 --> 49:12.480 Surely you could get it. 49:12.480 --> 49:13.800 Which team has a Korean top laner who's 49:13.800 --> 49:15.560 having a great tournament? 49:15.560 --> 49:17.040 Both. 49:17.040 --> 49:17.840 He's going to trick us. 49:17.840 --> 49:19.800 He's going to say the opposite of whatever we said. 49:19.800 --> 49:20.560 I'm going with both. 49:20.560 --> 49:21.060 It's both. 49:21.060 --> 49:21.560 It's both. 49:21.560 --> 49:22.560 I have to go one or the other. 49:22.560 --> 49:23.040 It's both. 49:23.040 --> 49:24.480 It's definitely one or the other. 49:24.480 --> 49:25.480 I pick Kana. 49:25.480 --> 49:26.480 I pick Kana. 49:26.480 --> 49:27.480 Here's everybody's side. 49:27.480 --> 49:29.280 Who do you like more? 49:29.280 --> 49:30.480 Which Korean player do you like more? 49:30.480 --> 49:31.480 Pick a team! 49:31.480 --> 49:33.480 I'm going to go with Lord Morgan. 49:33.480 --> 49:34.480 Wrong! 49:34.480 --> 49:35.480 Of course it's Kana. 49:35.480 --> 49:37.480 Didn't you see his top cap? 49:37.480 --> 49:38.480 Yes, thank you. 49:38.480 --> 49:39.480 Completely wrong. 49:39.480 --> 49:40.480 It was Karmine. 49:40.480 --> 49:41.480 Of course. 49:41.480 --> 49:42.480 These questions are so easy. 49:42.480 --> 49:46.480 How could you not understand such an obvious and clearly categorized question? 49:46.480 --> 49:49.480 I think that there would have gotten something right by this point. 49:49.480 --> 49:50.480 Last chance here, guys. 49:50.480 --> 49:52.200 Surely you can scrape up one. 49:52.200 --> 49:54.440 Which team has the regional star, AD Carry, who's struggling in MS? 49:54.440 --> 49:56.440 I 49:56.440 --> 49:58.440 So neither or question guys come on 49:59.480 --> 50:03.240 It's up. It's both. Okay ox. We have to stand strong. Maybe we look like stupid 50:03.240 --> 50:09.040 That's what we go. Maybe we look like stupid, but we go out stupid together. Okay. It's obviously both. Yes 50:09.040 --> 50:11.040 It's obvious. I throw a question 50:12.080 --> 50:17.280 Obviously both this is pretty good guys well-defined within the rules. Okay, who's worse? 50:18.920 --> 50:23.240 This isn't a great way to praise it as an EU pundit, but I think we have to be honest about the state of ad carries right now 50:23.240 --> 50:27.960 who's worse this is actually a tough one this is like 90% of the question about this match 50:31.800 --> 50:35.000 i think ox you're smarter than me i need you to answer this right i'm gonna 50:35.000 --> 50:38.680 go first i think he's struggled more than i expected wrong of course 50:41.240 --> 50:45.800 team liquid obvious do you want to thought it's it's a 50 50 questions guys surely you would 50:45.800 --> 50:52.360 have got one right we owe for five yeah wow this is disappointing i'm impressed but that is the 50:52.360 --> 50:53.760 This is a level of experience. 50:53.760 --> 50:57.060 I've never felt performance we've come to expect from Europe at this tournament. 50:57.060 --> 51:00.060 If you give me one more and I get it wrong, I could feel like TSM. That'd be sick. 51:01.560 --> 51:02.560 That's a good one. 51:02.560 --> 51:03.960 You got me there, okay? 51:03.960 --> 51:08.260 Okay, well, look, thank you Isaac for that wonderful and maybe slightly rigged game. 51:08.260 --> 51:09.560 Wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. 51:09.560 --> 51:12.160 This game was completely fair above board. 51:12.160 --> 51:16.360 It seems like Isaac had a good time, which I'm starting to suspect Mike had been Isaac's call the entire time. 51:16.360 --> 51:18.460 None of these questions could have applied to both teams. 51:18.460 --> 51:19.960 I don't know what you're talking about. 51:19.960 --> 51:21.660 He had a good time. Me and you didn't. 51:21.660 --> 51:23.860 Two days of the desk, I think majority rules. 51:23.860 --> 51:25.700 That's probably a fair way to do the math. 51:25.700 --> 51:29.260 But let's do a little bit more math on maybe the all time head to head. 51:29.260 --> 51:31.980 Let's talk a little bit about the history between these two teams at MSI. 51:31.980 --> 51:34.340 It's like worlds we could talk about it, but we don't need to. 51:34.740 --> 51:36.740 Let's look at that regional rivalry at MSI, Isaac. 51:37.220 --> 51:39.340 18 to 12. 51:39.340 --> 51:41.740 That's a pretty big difference. 51:41.740 --> 51:44.140 What do you got to say about that? 51:44.140 --> 51:45.580 It's like K-Paintings, you know? 51:45.580 --> 51:47.300 This is ancient history. Who cares? 51:47.300 --> 51:49.500 Ah, yes. 51:49.500 --> 51:51.060 Look, all I'm saying is I can't even count that. 51:51.060 --> 51:59.260 I'm sorry. Do you still not use fire and the wheel? I think gay pinnings might be important sometimes Isaac. See the one world champs. What is this? 52:00.000 --> 52:06.540 What this 2019 this seems rude. That's not even a real year. It's too far ago. I 52:08.180 --> 52:15.020 Can't remember that far back so it's a real COVID Daniel. Isaac, I have a feeling you're embarrassing yourself. Oh, well 52:15.020 --> 52:21.060 Let's let's look at some more recent stats some stats that matter some hard-hitting stats 52:21.740 --> 52:27.460 2024 2025. Okay. Let's talk about the last couple years 2023 zero games lost to Europe 52:28.100 --> 52:34.400 2024 3 1 over fanatic 2025 3 0 over g2. He's gonna go to point 52:35.300 --> 52:41.320 Don't sell me out. Don't sell me out. Yes. Look, I don't just saying to those tournaments that side 52:41.320 --> 52:43.480 Let's look at let's look at final placements. How about that? 52:43.800 --> 52:48.080 We all know it was completely and totally not fraudulent the case. He made the finals the first thing 52:48.080 --> 52:52.080 You know it was a hundred percent real authentic and didn't rely on top eSports choking. I'm sorry ox 52:52.080 --> 52:57.120 But it's how you gets all their wins. What about G2 also beating top eSports also counts 52:57.120 --> 53:00.400 I don't know if these head-to-head records matter very much everything about top eSports 53:00.400 --> 53:04.240 It just happens to be the case that that's how we get all over good place. Can't talk about his own teams 53:04.240 --> 53:09.840 Let's talk about someone who can talk about his own team some of spawn who's never lost to Europe not once 53:09.840 --> 53:12.300 never the coach of Team Liquid. 53:12.300 --> 53:15.980 But he has lost to people like Buseo. 53:15.980 --> 53:18.300 You know, he has lost to all these players before. 53:18.300 --> 53:20.380 He hasn't even really had a chance, I think, to honest. 53:20.380 --> 53:22.380 Okay, those numbers are- Who cares about this? 53:22.380 --> 53:25.180 This is when shout-out production- I didn't even ask for it. 53:25.180 --> 53:26.680 This is when Reaper was in NA. 53:26.680 --> 53:28.180 So for those of you who can't read, 53:28.180 --> 53:30.080 crazy that that's the case, but respectable, 53:30.080 --> 53:31.380 if you look at those numbers on the bottom, 53:31.380 --> 53:32.520 those tell a pretty clear story. 53:32.520 --> 53:35.160 I didn't expect I'd ever be here to slam Dunk Reapered, 53:35.160 --> 53:36.820 saying like, hell yeah, that's my boy. 53:36.820 --> 53:38.520 But hell yeah, that's my boy, Reapered. 53:38.520 --> 53:46.520 Absolutely, the coaches spawn. No, no, they do. You already brought him up. We know who the coaches these things are. We don't go back. Sometimes I forget myself. Do you, Aux? No. 53:46.520 --> 53:51.520 Exactly. We can't go backwards. What do you feel about these numbers? Look at that. Look at that. We're not only a Korean coach and you're like... 53:51.520 --> 54:01.520 You know what? Let's get some real analysis, guys. Let's talk about Jose Diodo, because Jose Diodo has been playing incredible at this tournament. He was already great in N.A. 54:01.520 --> 54:05.520 But here, internationally, he is shining against even the likes of T1, Aux. 54:05.520 --> 54:13.440 Yeah, I mean the poppy game was really good. It was a great draft for them. They're playing into Kalista and it was a fantastic early start 54:14.360 --> 54:18.920 It didn't develop flawlessly though. There was a couple of moments with smites later on 54:18.920 --> 54:22.120 But for the most part the early plan I think from him 54:22.120 --> 54:24.400 So you can't hold those smites against him 54:24.400 --> 54:29.680 Okay, owner got to train his smikey against Gumi-yushi buddy. Yeah, that is tough 54:29.680 --> 54:34.080 Yeah, and I gotta say look personal emotional investment in this it is very important to me aside 54:34.080 --> 54:39.240 Jose Diado has been looking good, and I feel like it is really all about jungle in this matchup and that part of the map 54:39.240 --> 54:42.480 We already talked about once not so positively, but we'll get there eventually instead 54:42.480 --> 54:43.920 I just want to highlight 54:43.920 --> 54:49.680 In general how important both of these junglers have been to their respective teams Jose Diado certainly looking fantastic 54:49.680 --> 54:51.680 But let's look at yikes numbers some of them 54:52.160 --> 54:55.880 Will be a little bit worse, but the important one I want to highlight is K plus a at 14 54:55.880 --> 55:00.520 This man getting things done on the map now ultimately did the game go awry? 55:00.520 --> 55:06.800 Yes, but it also did for TL. No one's getting one over on T1 and yike building those massive individual leads gives me a lot of faith 55:06.800 --> 55:12.880 Yeah, he had a lot of momentum and like I feel like both of these junglers when they're doing well the team follows and feeds up 55:12.880 --> 55:15.360 That success and when they've struggled in this tournament 55:15.360 --> 55:17.720 It has been a bit tougher when owners have been having fantastic games 55:17.720 --> 55:21.680 But the early plans I think have given a lot of headway to them 55:21.680 --> 55:26.720 I feel like both these guys are kind of the engines for the team and when they're ahead they love to invade 55:26.720 --> 55:28.040 They love to snowball the game 55:28.040 --> 55:28.960 and they're pushing it for it. 55:28.960 --> 55:30.760 And I do think Yike deserves so much credit. 55:30.760 --> 55:32.920 Actually, 4KC's success so far this year. 55:32.920 --> 55:34.920 He's a player who has gotten a lot of hate, 55:34.920 --> 55:36.360 I think, internationally. 55:36.360 --> 55:38.880 But I think he is innocent. 55:38.880 --> 55:41.080 There will be times where I, as I can see, eye to eye. 55:41.080 --> 55:41.580 Yeah. 55:41.580 --> 55:45.000 I think the other time we see eye to eye is bottom lane. 55:45.000 --> 55:46.000 We want some more. 55:46.000 --> 55:47.080 The 80K reroll. 55:47.080 --> 55:48.320 We would like to see more. 55:48.320 --> 55:50.720 I think both of us, maybe a little 55:50.720 --> 55:52.360 underwhelmed by our respective representatives, 55:52.360 --> 55:54.200 performance as far as are the fans, 55:54.200 --> 55:55.200 I think it's safe to say. 55:55.200 --> 55:57.120 Because both these guys have been playing well under, 55:57.120 --> 56:00.000 what their team needs if they want to upset a team like T1 56:00.000 --> 56:02.120 or take a confident win against their opposition today. 56:02.120 --> 56:04.840 And I mean, the tough part is not that these are bad players. 56:04.840 --> 56:06.600 The tough part is that we have seen so much better 56:06.600 --> 56:07.680 from both of the players. 56:07.680 --> 56:09.400 And you come to expect much more. 56:09.400 --> 56:11.600 And they are really not having the kind of results 56:11.600 --> 56:12.440 that you would want. 56:12.440 --> 56:13.560 I mean, only one team gets out of play 56:13.560 --> 56:15.760 and T1 is looking like the massive favorite swept 56:15.760 --> 56:16.120 in both. 56:16.120 --> 56:17.680 You need more from either of these 80 carries 56:17.680 --> 56:19.880 if they're staying at chance, if they can get past 56:19.880 --> 56:20.840 their opponent today. 56:20.840 --> 56:23.120 And T1's been so box-centric, and Pays and Carrier 56:23.120 --> 56:23.960 have been so good. 56:23.960 --> 56:25.840 It's really hard, especially in the lane phase 56:25.840 --> 56:28.040 when they're just taking over the game on the back of that. 56:28.040 --> 56:29.680 But I feel like something that has been worrying 56:29.680 --> 56:32.040 is when we get to the later stages of the game, 56:32.040 --> 56:34.400 some pivotal mistakes when it comes to team fights, 56:34.400 --> 56:36.520 positioning errors, getting caught out, 56:36.520 --> 56:37.920 those are more concerned about 56:37.920 --> 56:40.600 because obviously Falling behind against Paze Carrier, 56:40.600 --> 56:42.200 it's kind of expected for a lot of teams, 56:42.200 --> 56:43.800 but when it comes to later stages, 56:43.800 --> 56:44.640 Has been tough. 56:44.640 --> 56:47.680 Wusio though, when we look at him on this Camille in particular, 56:47.680 --> 56:50.040 they let Carrier have Bard, 56:50.040 --> 56:52.560 and yet he was running the pace of the game in the mid-game. 56:52.560 --> 56:53.400 And I think that's the good news 56:53.400 --> 56:54.720 for both perspective bottom lanes 56:54.720 --> 56:56.560 that their supports really have been pulling their weight. 56:56.560 --> 56:57.720 And a big question today is, are we 56:57.720 --> 56:59.800 going to see some isolated AD carries on the bot side? 56:59.800 --> 57:01.040 So these supports are free to roam, 57:01.040 --> 57:03.240 because for both Buccio and Core, 57:03.240 --> 57:04.920 they've been super active on the map 57:04.920 --> 57:07.360 and really starting a lot of these plays almost in isolation. 57:07.360 --> 57:10.120 And I mean, they're both players that are really known for roaming. 57:10.120 --> 57:12.040 They love to have kind of interesting timings, 57:12.040 --> 57:13.160 play well with their junglers. 57:13.160 --> 57:15.400 So I do think jungle support is ridiculously important. 57:15.400 --> 57:17.240 And while they're both good in-channer players, 57:17.240 --> 57:21.440 I do think they both really excel when they are engage champions, 57:21.440 --> 57:22.680 when they are those teams. 57:22.680 --> 57:24.000 And we're still early in the tournament. 57:24.000 --> 57:28.000 We did see the changes that kind of buffed up the melee supports, nerfed down the Enchanters a bit. 57:28.000 --> 57:30.600 We've seen more of them, but I feel like teams are still figuring out the meta. 57:30.600 --> 57:34.800 How much do you want to invest into the bot lane 2v2? How much are you investing into the rest of the map? 57:34.800 --> 57:39.800 So, I think it does give more freedom for these engaged specialists to just take over the map 57:39.800 --> 57:42.800 and not be as centered on playing like us Seraphine every game. 57:42.800 --> 57:44.800 We'll have to see if that's what the teams want to go to. 57:44.800 --> 57:47.800 I certainly hope so. It sounds like Isaac does as well, maybe you too, Ox. 57:47.800 --> 57:52.800 But let's check in on the fans at home. Let's see how they're feeling today about this series with our MasterCard fan predictions. 57:52.800 --> 57:55.880 This time around I want to see what do we got here? 57:55.920 --> 58:01.240 We got handsome players, and we got a very casey-favored boat as you would expect honestly 58:01.240 --> 58:07.360 I think tell do maybe better than I expected casey even beat T1 in the foundation which almost never happens 58:07.360 --> 58:14.200 So you know what shout out to all the NA fans staying up late watching the games voting for the predictions 58:14.440 --> 58:18.160 Well, I think you already know what we're gonna say right it's super true 58:18.160 --> 58:21.200 I think we need something different from you because sometimes on this desk 58:21.200 --> 58:23.920 It's it's a little balanced this time we need to convince Switzerland 58:23.920 --> 58:26.920 We need to convince Switzerland we need you to get active on this one 58:26.920 --> 58:28.320 Check us would you like to open the arguments? 58:28.320 --> 58:32.560 Yeah, and I'm really sad the fans can get their mastercard fan predictions and before I showed this hard-hitting analysis 58:32.560 --> 58:37.840 Let's take a look because when we talk about history we often forget that it's more than just League of Legends 58:37.840 --> 58:43.000 It has an effect on the game. You know what we forget about. Yeah, that's right folks the moon consider it 58:43.000 --> 58:44.000 E.U. 58:44.000 --> 58:46.000 So jump ahead during a full moon. 58:46.000 --> 58:47.000 Yes. 58:47.000 --> 58:48.000 11-8. 58:48.000 --> 58:49.000 Easy. 58:49.000 --> 58:51.220 Your best moon phase, first quarter. 58:51.220 --> 58:53.000 Our best moon phase, last quarter. 58:53.000 --> 58:56.440 But when it comes to the full moon, we are absolutely dominant. 58:56.440 --> 58:57.440 Yahoo! 58:57.440 --> 59:00.000 Is a werewolf, canonically, in the fanfiction I wrote. 59:00.000 --> 59:01.000 Yike! 59:01.000 --> 59:02.000 Born on a full moon. 59:02.000 --> 59:03.000 I think enough said. 59:03.000 --> 59:04.000 There it goes. 59:04.000 --> 59:05.000 You're embarrassing yourself. 59:05.000 --> 59:06.000 This is ridiculous. 59:06.000 --> 59:08.480 Let's bring up a real argument here. 59:08.480 --> 59:11.320 We need some serious analysis on the desk around this out. 59:11.320 --> 59:15.440 So what I have done is I've gone through every tier 1 player and I've ranked their win rate 59:15.440 --> 59:18.400 based on their Zodiac star signs. 59:18.400 --> 59:22.680 Then we assigned the star sign to the corresponding birth date of each of the players. 59:22.680 --> 59:27.960 Now we have clearly ranked the teams based on where they rank based on their Zodiac sign. 59:27.960 --> 59:35.680 So T-Law clearly going to be winning today with a 4.6 average here in the Zodiac sign. 59:35.680 --> 59:40.680 KC has a paltry six and they're only being improved by Buccio. 59:41.420 --> 59:43.460 Oh Isaac, oh Isaac, of course. 59:43.460 --> 59:45.800 You wanted to go to the stars? 59:45.800 --> 59:48.720 I took the moon, we have to go to the cards. 59:48.720 --> 59:51.000 You know what I did last night in beautiful day, John? 59:51.000 --> 59:51.840 I went and got a tarot read. 59:51.840 --> 59:52.680 Ridiculous. 59:52.680 --> 59:53.960 The lady who did it, incredible. 59:53.960 --> 59:56.320 You know what card she drew for me when I got one card? 59:56.320 --> 59:58.160 I need one card to show me what the win will be, 59:58.160 --> 59:59.280 what the result will be. 59:59.280 --> 01:00:02.040 Boom, the tower, destruction of people. 01:00:02.040 --> 01:00:03.240 You know what that means for spawn 01:00:03.240 --> 01:00:04.600 and his precious win rate? 01:00:04.600 --> 01:00:09.880 I'm not 100% sure she said the answer in Korean, but I'm pretty sure it's a very good sign, Isaac. 01:00:09.880 --> 01:00:10.680 This is ridiculous. 01:00:10.680 --> 01:00:12.000 Aux, what are you, never wrong? 01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:12.720 Aux, who's gonna win? 01:00:12.720 --> 01:00:14.040 Aux, I need the answer! 01:00:14.040 --> 01:00:15.120 You have to touch the card! 01:00:15.120 --> 01:00:15.620 I'm winning! 01:00:15.620 --> 01:00:16.320 Aux, please! 01:00:16.320 --> 01:00:19.120 You need your European, you get the answer on! 01:00:34.600 --> 01:01:04.560 Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to MSI 2026, where we have the 01:01:04.560 --> 01:01:12.700 The tough task of bringing things back to serious reality after whatever the hell I just witnessed on the analyst desk. 01:01:13.100 --> 01:01:19.180 The first thing I want to say is sorry, Ox, we'll get you a security team and things will be okay in the future. 01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:24.440 I am Max, this is Rob, that is Sam. We're very excited we are through ladder names. 01:01:24.440 --> 01:01:29.300 And we are getting ready to get into this best of five. Probably the best that we've seen. 01:01:29.300 --> 01:01:34.260 Is this, like, am I predicting too heavily towards positivity? 01:01:34.260 --> 01:01:37.460 Because I do feel like this has got to be the best 5 I've had so far. 01:01:37.460 --> 01:01:39.780 I swear to God, if this is another 3-0... 01:01:39.780 --> 01:01:42.500 For KC, I'll be happy with that. I'm not sure if KC got it. 01:01:42.500 --> 01:01:43.220 Yeah, I'm fine. 01:01:44.500 --> 01:01:46.100 I mean, the names back there, kind of... 01:01:46.100 --> 01:01:46.340 Yeah. 01:01:46.340 --> 01:01:46.900 The Irish Guard. 01:01:46.900 --> 01:01:48.740 Oh, yeah, there you go. You've got the letters in there. 01:01:48.740 --> 01:01:49.940 I'm sure. No, you don't. 01:01:49.940 --> 01:01:50.500 I'm not quite. 01:01:50.500 --> 01:01:53.060 All right, should I do math or letters on the stream? 01:01:54.180 --> 01:01:56.820 I am very, very excited for this series, 01:01:56.820 --> 01:01:59.140 mainly because there are five Korean players. 01:01:59.140 --> 01:02:03.460 So there's something for me here too, even if it is EU versus and a 01:02:03.860 --> 01:02:08.260 Rippert versus spawn though. This is one that goes back quite some distance as well 01:02:08.500 --> 01:02:15.300 There is a lot to be spoken about. I love that spooks is coaching his former opponent in jose dioto 01:02:15.300 --> 01:02:18.660 There are so many things so many connections all over the rift here today 01:02:19.060 --> 01:02:24.500 And I just can't wait to see who's going to win. Yeah, we've got you comfortable with koreans up there and australians up there 01:02:24.500 --> 01:02:26.800 I couldn't be more comfortable. 01:02:26.800 --> 01:02:28.100 I feel right at home. 01:02:28.100 --> 01:02:30.400 I just might heart rate this up there for the series, to be honest. 01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:32.200 Because I think this is going to be an absolute fangirl. 01:02:32.200 --> 01:02:33.800 I think this is incredibly close. 01:02:33.800 --> 01:02:36.800 And I mean, we even got to catch up with Spawn last night, 01:02:36.800 --> 01:02:38.400 and he was very confident about this one. 01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:40.400 But I know seeing the KC lads as well, 01:02:40.400 --> 01:02:41.900 they feel like they got this in the bag. 01:02:41.900 --> 01:02:44.900 And it's when they both feel like they've got it in the bag 01:02:44.900 --> 01:02:46.600 that you get the spiciest League of Legends. 01:02:46.600 --> 01:02:50.100 And I love that often times at the very beginning of a tournament 01:02:50.100 --> 01:02:53.000 when we get the first taste of the versus NA, 01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:59.600 It's in like a best of one or a best of three a lot of the time, but the format is so generous as we get a best of five 01:02:59.600 --> 01:03:04.800 So there are people that are like, oh well, you know, it was a 2-0. We didn't get into our groove. Whatever 01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:06.680 I mean, it's gonna be at least three games 01:03:06.680 --> 01:03:11.360 We're gonna have a lot of tape to work out who the best is going to be and 01:03:12.160 --> 01:03:19.160 definitively today we will know the best region out of North America and Europe today 01:03:19.880 --> 01:03:21.880 forever 01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:27.760 Yeah, okay, but this entire 24-hour period 01:03:27.760 --> 01:03:30.800 Yeah, that's right there. Yeah, right. All right 01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:34.000 Let's get it on later on in the day here in Korea. So you guys would not get too much 01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:36.360 I'm right. I was getting into the high-press trap 01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:40.200 I was curious about that because all the NA fans went to sleep. It's so late 01:03:40.320 --> 01:03:42.240 Let's get into the graph though. Good point 01:03:42.740 --> 01:03:48.040 And we do already have some target bands, you know Casey of course Akali is quits best champion 01:03:48.300 --> 01:03:51.680 And trying to take out some of those AP solo laners that they have use effectively 01:03:51.680 --> 01:03:55.580 And also sets up for potential Orianna here, honestly, if you're a team liquid, right leg. 01:03:55.580 --> 01:03:59.080 I think she's incredibly strong in the patch, especially Cassiopeia and Nivia. 01:03:59.080 --> 01:04:04.180 Maybe it's a setup for the Ryze here for team liquid, but I think the Orianna very strong in this position as well. 01:04:04.180 --> 01:04:07.280 I think Orianna matches up decently well into the Ryze as well. 01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:12.380 Historically has been able to outrange and farm pretty comfortably, so we'll see whether that is going to be the decision. 01:04:12.380 --> 01:04:16.480 I think picking it away from Yeh was just enough, and that's exactly what they're going to do. 01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:20.880 Yeah, another thing too is that they did not target band Jose's 01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:25.040 nefiri, which a lot of teams have been doing since lion showcases 01:04:25.040 --> 01:04:28.280 Fadji versus team liquid and Jose is very good with nefiri and that 01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:31.960 pairs with the Orianna shock wave quite well as does the nocturne. 01:04:32.520 --> 01:04:36.600 So definitely both pairings are still available by Casey locking into 01:04:36.600 --> 01:04:40.120 that Camille support again for Boussio. 01:04:40.240 --> 01:04:42.280 And this was more of an Eastern thing, wasn't it? 01:04:42.280 --> 01:04:45.600 And so Boussio has been putting that one through its paces now that he's got here. 01:04:45.600 --> 01:04:50.600 Yeah, I mean Kobe, you may not know him, but he's an open coming Polish player and he's been doing a lot of fantastic 01:04:50.600 --> 01:04:53.600 in the past when he was on these kind of Rome champions, so 01:04:53.600 --> 01:04:57.600 and I was really impressed with him on the Kameleon against T1 as well. I think he had this incredible performance 01:04:57.600 --> 01:05:02.600 so I'm excited to see the impact that he can have, but I have to say I want to try and be a pair with Ferklist 01:05:02.600 --> 01:05:04.600 as you've got the Orianna, not turning the opposite. 01:05:04.600 --> 01:05:10.600 I just think this, it's so strong as a support. If you are a mechanically gifted support, which Buccio is, 01:05:10.600 --> 01:05:15.720 Here's one of these players that, you know, changed from Rolls-Royce from mid lane down to support 01:05:15.720 --> 01:05:19.880 and has been one of his biggest strengths was his mechanics and outplaying a lot of other supports. 01:05:19.880 --> 01:05:24.440 So if you have Camille and you can move around the map then, you know, affect those side lanes 01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:28.920 and especially the mid lane as well, where they champion like Orianna, that is low mobility then. 01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:35.880 Vuccio definitely will have a big impact and Core has responded with the team fight here with the rail. 01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:39.800 And I was wondering whether they were going to just go full nocturne composition 01:05:39.800 --> 01:05:45.160 and picked the Niko. But I think Niko into the Camille can be a little bit of a difficult matchup. 01:05:45.160 --> 01:05:50.600 Core has been great on the rail and this is just more, we can dive you at any stage. We can put a ball 01:05:50.600 --> 01:05:56.920 on basically anyone and have a good time. We've had the Orianna-Nocturne combination banned the 01:05:56.920 --> 01:06:01.640 entire season in the LCK. We have never seen it. It just hasn't happened this season. I'm pretty sure. 01:06:01.640 --> 01:06:05.640 It's also because the Nocturne is so oppressive in those levels, 1-3, like looking for early 01:06:05.640 --> 01:06:08.860 invades as well is so strong and against the Wukong I think that could be 01:06:08.860 --> 01:06:12.720 something you could try and look towards but I think we're gonna get a lot of the 01:06:12.720 --> 01:06:16.440 Tiger Bans where's the AD Cairo with Team Liquid coming in because Camille kind of 01:06:16.440 --> 01:06:19.920 wants something that can have decent wave clear and be left on their loan. If you 01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:22.920 can try and remove some of those picks I think you set up nicely then for Team 01:06:22.920 --> 01:06:26.440 Liquid to try and respond for and Camille Roam with that potential dive on the 01:06:26.440 --> 01:06:30.520 bottom lane. Yeah the Ziggs and the Mel have definitely been premier combos with 01:06:30.520 --> 01:06:34.360 it so we'll see. They're actually banding way to Ezreal. They're simply one of those 01:06:34.360 --> 01:06:37.200 safe champions that could be left alone. 01:06:37.200 --> 01:06:40.240 Not so much indexing into the majors just quite yet, 01:06:40.240 --> 01:06:42.800 but definitely looking at the top side here 01:06:42.800 --> 01:06:46.280 because both Kana and Morgan were very, very good, 01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:49.000 even against T1, against Doran, 01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:51.480 and has been the best performing players on their teams 01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:54.640 in those losing games that they had anyway. 01:06:54.640 --> 01:06:56.440 Definitely worth saying, Morgan's reneced in, 01:06:56.440 --> 01:06:59.080 you know, his most played and his best champion, iconic, 01:06:59.080 --> 01:07:01.400 so that's a worthy target fan right there. 01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:02.520 I'm hoping it was Kana, you know, 01:07:02.520 --> 01:07:03.360 he's just sitting by there, 01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:08.440 I remember what to do against Morgan. We banned the crocodile and that is definitely a good idea 01:07:08.440 --> 01:07:12.760 He was also the one that debuted Yorick in the top lane as well in the LCK 01:07:12.760 --> 01:07:17.160 So it might be something that they could look at in theory wouldn't mind a little bit of side lane power or 01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:22.200 TL at this point in time, but Jace gonna be taken away from Canada definitely one of these number things 01:07:22.200 --> 01:07:25.040 Yeah, I wasn't sure if they were gonna try and go for the rumble on this rotation 01:07:25.040 --> 01:07:29.240 Even though you kind of want the counter pick just because it's been such a strong pick for kind of actually band away 01:07:29.240 --> 01:07:35.160 Thank you, Gobi, but I still think getting some of this like strong like the NAR in that top lane that can work in these team fights 01:07:35.160 --> 01:07:37.780 It's gonna be the big focus here for that top side 01:07:37.780 --> 01:07:41.400 It looks like they're gonna go towards the virus which can be a little bit vulnerable 01:07:41.600 --> 01:07:46.940 This will be unreal because Calista is not playing any of the mages at all all split long 01:07:46.940 --> 01:07:50.840 And it's not something I expect them to pick up but obviously coming into this patch 01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:56.160 You need to have this in your wheel and it's a really dangerous time to pick six as well because ox is on the 01:07:56.160 --> 01:08:00.160 He will be adjudicated for his level of play. 01:08:00.160 --> 01:08:02.160 The period is so good with the Camille. 01:08:02.160 --> 01:08:09.160 You have kill pressure in lane, you can also just clear waves, let the Camille have so much extra time roaming around. 01:08:09.160 --> 01:08:15.160 If they could get the rise into a very good point on side lanes here, be able to move around then. 01:08:15.160 --> 01:08:21.160 Maybe that will be the avenue to victory, the Tristana-Rel combo here from bot side. 01:08:21.160 --> 01:08:25.960 So she actually got buffed coming into this patch as well with the mana going down on her Q 01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:29.680 So making her a lot easier to just hop in and look for these aggressive trades 01:08:29.680 --> 01:08:34.480 So definitely gonna be a little bit of a tough one such a charge might be need a bit more defensive in this match 01:08:34.480 --> 01:08:37.660 A little bit of a yordle off and you know what team liquid have done 01:08:37.920 --> 01:08:44.260 They've just got an extra yordle and that is going to work out the blind now towards the top side of the map can be a dangerous one 01:08:44.680 --> 01:08:48.040 But we'll see what canner is going to bring to the matchup the vein is hovered 01:08:48.040 --> 01:08:51.340 but that is obviously Grucio. The problem is, it's also a counterpick to the Nair. 01:08:51.340 --> 01:08:52.500 There he go, and that's what I was going to say. 01:08:52.500 --> 01:08:55.440 He's got it out in the past, and he is looked spectacular on it. 01:08:55.440 --> 01:08:58.840 And he's loved in the LEC, being able to bring this out as a counterpick, 01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:02.340 and has really run away with this matchup consistently. 01:09:02.340 --> 01:09:04.640 And now they have an AD carry. True. That's got a nice... 01:09:04.640 --> 01:09:08.840 I mean, this is so fun, this draft, because topside of Forstkaner with the counterpick 01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:11.440 is going to want attention up there from Jungle, 01:09:11.440 --> 01:09:17.440 but also bottomside, this Tristana-Rail combination from Team Liquid into the Camille lane. 01:09:18.040 --> 01:09:24.780 Well, actually is very good at face-tinking the E from Camille and then can also shattering strike off the shield as well. 01:09:24.780 --> 01:09:27.480 So maybe they even just try and turn it instantly and kill him. 01:09:27.480 --> 01:09:32.840 Justana, especially if you can get early lead, you can get that early auto push and really try and put the extra pressure. 01:09:32.840 --> 01:09:37.960 And she's also extraordinarily safe into Camille because you just press R when she presses R. 01:09:37.960 --> 01:09:38.460 Buffer. 01:09:38.460 --> 01:09:38.960 And then Fader. 01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:41.960 Then when she gets the ultimate, you have your ultimate to knock her off. 01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:45.960 Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, yeah. So you just like, she Hextechs ultimate him and you're like, that's not an ultimate him. 01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:54.000 You go over there now and then we're done. So I really like that choice. Definitely going to like this reminds me of the old 01:09:54.280 --> 01:10:00.160 Tristana Alice Delanes, you know if we're thinking back to league classic that has recently come into our 01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:04.380 Forefront like that was an old kill lane and well Tristana kind of works in a similar way 01:10:04.380 --> 01:10:07.400 We'll see whether they go for like the weird level 3s or anything like that 01:10:07.520 --> 01:10:11.260 Yeah, I'm really curious to see how Khaleed tries to play this because I think you're boosy 01:10:11.260 --> 01:10:12.680 Oh, I don't even want to be in the late 01:10:12.680 --> 01:10:16.040 I want to like move towards made and look against that Orianna. I want to try and 01:10:17.120 --> 01:10:19.880 Capitalize on the advantages that I'm in game for this vein in the top lane 01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:25.560 So those that then lead to hey, we're gonna try and dive ziggs repeatedly or is it just a case of hey 01:10:25.560 --> 01:10:27.200 Courage AJ is trying to match some of those ropes 01:10:27.200 --> 01:10:34.560 I'll see how it goes as we are on to the rift for game number one of this best of five fighting for a chance to take on 01:10:34.680 --> 01:10:37.960 T1 for a spot at the main stage is already 01:10:37.960 --> 01:10:43.020 We have a little bit of aggression great hook shot to come out from busio here to get Morgan down to 50% 01:10:43.020 --> 01:10:45.220 But he will be able to get out whilst retaining his flash 01:10:45.220 --> 01:10:49.600 They've also got wards now in both of those bushes in the top lane so nowhere really safe for Morgan 01:10:49.600 --> 01:10:53.180 Even if he does teleport back in here. So already a lot invested 01:10:53.440 --> 01:10:57.700 Yeah, and busio is gonna keep investing his time. He's even going through the jungle at the moment 01:10:57.700 --> 01:11:03.740 He's gonna pass over the ward so they're finally gonna get that vision, but Morgan is 50% HP on the top side 01:11:03.740 --> 01:11:08.440 He decided he's not going to go back in and waste his summoner spell cooldown with the teleport 01:11:08.440 --> 01:11:16.660 He's just going to chug his potion and try to stay here, but Kana can continue to punish and the trade-off right is that Kalista cannot farm 01:11:17.300 --> 01:11:22.660 It is only one way that he's lost so far, but Morgan very very close to death and will now be going home 01:11:22.660 --> 01:11:27.320 It's also support roll quest as well because we do live in the world with the quest 01:11:27.320 --> 01:11:30.820 And so Buzio did spend a lot of time out of lane for the very beginning 01:11:30.820 --> 01:11:37.700 But it has had a huge impact already on this top lane now. It's going to start slow pushing here 01:11:38.700 --> 01:11:41.980 Towards him Morgan should be able to collect all right 01:11:42.820 --> 01:11:47.280 Yeah, I'm curious what the answer is here for KC though like especially now that you have push in mid 01:11:47.280 --> 01:11:50.880 We saw in game one against T1 you like one to try and go for some sort of evade 01:11:50.880 --> 01:11:53.920 But but I'm having to support your bottom lane could be a little bit risky 01:11:53.920 --> 01:11:58.000 So we'll have to see if they want to try and still capitalize on this push for Yahoo 01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:00.000 because he's got full control here. 01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:05.000 Having a look now, mid lane is under KC's control for the minute, 01:12:05.000 --> 01:12:08.000 and CoreJJ can crash towards Boussio here. 01:12:08.000 --> 01:12:11.000 Still level one, just trying to utilize that level advantage 01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:14.000 that T-Law do have towards his bottom side. 01:12:14.000 --> 01:12:16.000 And Jan just going to be shooting things. 01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:18.000 The good thing about the Tristana in this matchup as well 01:12:18.000 --> 01:12:21.000 is that you can somewhat match the wave clear of the Ziggs 01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:23.000 with the explosive shot. 01:12:23.000 --> 01:12:25.000 As you get that one leveled up, you will be able to just blow up 01:12:25.000 --> 01:12:26.000 these minions over and over again. 01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:29.520 over again. It's gonna feel a little bit better. So yeah, who went for the early reset there to 01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:32.960 pick up his tier, which is great because he's opted into the ghost instead of going for that 01:12:32.960 --> 01:12:37.440 teleport. So having him be able to reset and buy that timer is going to be super nice. And now 01:12:37.440 --> 01:12:40.640 as he starts to look towards like a potential push out of mid, it's going to be that bot lane 01:12:40.640 --> 01:12:44.160 scuttle that will be the action. All right, we got to get all the fans in on this. You know, 01:12:44.160 --> 01:12:50.640 it's North America versus Europe here. Vote now in chat. Who's going to take it? You know, the timing 01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:56.040 It's not that great for North American fans already making excuses already making excuses 01:13:01.560 --> 01:13:04.040 I have a feeling you might win this yeah 01:13:04.040 --> 01:13:08.720 I heard it's got the blue fence isn't it you know not the blue okay counter is in a lot of trouble here towards the top side 01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:15.440 first point for the Lord Morgan as the gnar will take down the vain in the counter matchup 01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:17.680 Okay now vote 01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:27.280 Maybe you want to switch the votes. Oh Lord Morgan. Let's go. I don't know what happened up there. 01:13:27.280 --> 01:13:32.240 Can it die? Yeah, thank you for that. Welcome. We'll get a replay here because he had the exhaust. 01:13:32.240 --> 01:13:36.720 Just looks like he didn't respect Morgan being able to jump in on top of him. Oh, tumbled in. 01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:43.680 Tumbled in. Huh? Kind of that was not his. And the exhaust was incredibly late as well. So the 01:13:43.680 --> 01:13:48.720 boulder hit for full damage. Yeah, good push from Morgan on that one as bot lane. Here we go. 01:13:48.720 --> 01:13:50.880 Yeah, crash down just to try and get Yeho out of here. 01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:53.240 He does want to try and take on CoreJJ. 01:13:53.240 --> 01:13:56.000 We'll get him down very, very low, but they keep themselves alive. 01:13:56.000 --> 01:13:57.600 This is a great start. 01:13:57.600 --> 01:13:58.600 The TL. 01:13:58.600 --> 01:14:01.120 Yeah, really good start as they actually try and look for an invade 01:14:01.120 --> 01:14:02.640 on towards his top side as well. 01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:04.440 Both crabs were taken by Yike, 01:14:04.440 --> 01:14:07.560 so they want to try and get something back from Jose Dioto here. 01:14:07.560 --> 01:14:09.840 Well, Yike is now just going to be pushed away, 01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:14.320 Quid with the right to roam, given the fact that the rise was moving down. 01:14:14.480 --> 01:14:17.640 Nice little distortion for a bit of extra damage towards this monkey. 01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:23.220 And it will be a successful steal away and so I do really feel like games that are a bit chaotic within the lanes 01:14:23.860 --> 01:14:28.080 Really help knock-turn compositions who just want to get around and get stuff done and 01:14:28.660 --> 01:14:32.040 Teal one how did this happen? I think Morgan is 01:14:36.780 --> 01:14:38.780 All the people are in work 01:14:39.620 --> 01:14:45.760 It really it really does help out so much for NAR to have that recovery from the you know start that Buzio 01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:50.560 actually affecting that lane so heavily, I mean, Kana, you know, helped him with the tumble in there. 01:14:50.560 --> 01:14:56.280 But such a such a better spot now for Morgan looking at the side lanes later on. 01:14:56.440 --> 01:15:01.140 And it just shows that it is a difficult matchup to play out, even if it is considered one that's very very difficult. 01:15:01.140 --> 01:15:03.940 I think that you still need to play it incredibly well to make the vein work. 01:15:03.940 --> 01:15:08.600 And it has been Kana traditionally playing this matchup very well. Like he wouldn't tumble in. 01:15:08.600 --> 01:15:12.280 He's been very good at like positioning around where the narrow can try and find those advantages. 01:15:12.280 --> 01:15:17.680 but a massive misstep is making things significantly easier for Morgan as Kobe was saying in this matchup. 01:15:17.680 --> 01:15:22.280 And Alivia, it's a lot of pressure now for, hey, how do you try and play her on the map as Buccio, 01:15:22.280 --> 01:15:25.080 because you're not actually getting that full control in the top set anymore. 01:15:25.080 --> 01:15:30.280 And like we said, Morgan and Kana both had very good starts to the tournament, 01:15:30.280 --> 01:15:35.880 but here is that all-time matchup between the two from the LCK. 01:15:35.880 --> 01:15:38.680 And let's take a look at the bottom side actually really quickly. 01:15:38.680 --> 01:15:43.680 Yeah, Boosio and Jaik making their way in here as Kojaj trying to dodge out of the way here as the crashdown doesn't quite work 01:15:43.680 --> 01:15:45.680 Does need to flash to get himself out of the way 01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:48.680 But that aftershock putting in work here to make sure he stays alive 01:15:48.680 --> 01:15:51.680 Good flash from Kojaj just about able to step away 01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:58.680 Still you're getting river control here for KC. I think it's just for Skodokrab. I don't think you really want to start off this dragon quite yes 01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:05.680 Level 6 available potentially as Jaik does look for it. So the classic battle for the crab coming on through is Yehu 01:16:05.680 --> 01:16:09.280 was considering it back but does cancel it here as Jose does move his way over 01:16:09.580 --> 01:16:12.760 Quit moving into the darkness does have his orb in order to see what's going on 01:16:12.760 --> 01:16:13.840 But it looks like they will forego that 01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:19.980 Yannick is going to be able to pick up the crab and move back to collect that level six now off his next camp 01:16:19.980 --> 01:16:25.480 It's kind of going in one more time Morgan still respecting but steel caps are so powerful in this matchup 01:16:25.480 --> 01:16:29.620 Yeah, certainly are and you know KC even though they're able to get the level six 01:16:29.620 --> 01:16:33.060 They don't want to go for the dragon because they want to protect all their top camps here 01:16:33.060 --> 01:16:38.300 They have three top camps, so they don't want to leave it open for a topside play there for team liquid 01:16:38.300 --> 01:16:43.340 So both Buccio rums up through mid and yike crosses back over to protect his camps 01:16:43.580 --> 01:16:47.020 And make sure he's gonna get his level six with those three times taken though 01:16:47.020 --> 01:16:51.260 It looks like KC might try and set up for some sort of plan the topside Buccio already roaming 01:16:51.260 --> 01:16:56.180 You do have blue buff spawning for Jose Dio to those who should be on top end and look at this full swap here 01:16:56.180 --> 01:16:58.940 They're actually sending Tristana up to the topside to four team liquid 01:16:58.940 --> 01:17:00.300 So they're doing the lane swap. 01:17:00.300 --> 01:17:02.180 Meanwhile, Zig's left in the bottom lane there. 01:17:02.180 --> 01:17:04.140 Does not have teleport. 01:17:04.140 --> 01:17:05.900 All right, they're going to replace the Yordles, 01:17:05.900 --> 01:17:08.460 moving Morgan down towards that bottom side as we can see. 01:17:08.460 --> 01:17:11.020 As now you've got the Cyclone coming on through Core JJ. 01:17:11.020 --> 01:17:12.300 Will be able to crash over the wall, 01:17:12.300 --> 01:17:15.420 but Bustio gets in there and takes down Varel. 01:17:15.420 --> 01:17:17.580 Wrong place, wrong time for the TL support. 01:17:17.580 --> 01:17:19.820 Casey make the play happen before Team Liquid 01:17:19.820 --> 01:17:22.460 can really mount the defense, catching Core JJ 01:17:22.460 --> 01:17:24.020 as he's trying to get the vision. 01:17:24.020 --> 01:17:25.820 And it's a quick punch back into the face. 01:17:25.820 --> 01:17:27.180 They thought they had so much safety 01:17:27.180 --> 01:17:28.780 because everybody was up around. 01:17:28.780 --> 01:17:34.380 They were Morgan recalling in the brush and Nocturne ultimate ready, but Core just gets bursted so quickly 01:17:34.700 --> 01:17:37.260 They don't want to play into the losing skirmish already 01:17:37.260 --> 01:17:43.620 So KC get one back and we're right back to even it is entirely square between the two teams at the moment 01:17:43.900 --> 01:17:46.940 Exactly what we wanted for this game number one 01:17:47.500 --> 01:17:53.660 U versus NA TL desperately trying to get to that rematch with T1 with solo KC 01:17:53.660 --> 01:17:57.600 What I say technically NA has two kills because Buccio is the one who got the kill 01:18:02.960 --> 01:18:04.960 In the same way it's all good now 01:18:05.740 --> 01:18:11.280 All right Morgan could be in a little bit of trouble does hit mega at exactly the right time though for the defense grabbing that extra health 01:18:11.280 --> 01:18:14.520 Is the dragon is going to be begun here by KC? 01:18:15.240 --> 01:18:20.720 Teal with their control of the waves have been able to get to a slight gold advantage and Jose is on these grubs 01:18:20.720 --> 01:18:27.120 able to take them down as well and Jan's on Tristana, right? Like you can really demolish these 01:18:27.120 --> 01:18:31.520 turrets very, very quickly. Same to be said for Ziggs, but I think the siege and capabilities of 01:18:31.520 --> 01:18:36.800 both of these comps is pretty scary. Yeah, I mean, Kalisto just going to declare the wave and I do 01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:41.920 like the way Jose Diablo is kind of changing up his jungle path here. I think if you're separated 01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:46.080 from Yike, it opens up for Bootsy and Yike to go for plays on side lanes that can make him 01:18:46.080 --> 01:18:47.520 could read uncomfortable team liquid. 01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:50.360 So by leaving his progs available on the bottom side, 01:18:50.360 --> 01:18:52.120 he's now going to be able to kind of match this clear 01:18:52.120 --> 01:18:53.600 dent towards the bottom half of the map 01:18:53.600 --> 01:18:55.240 and kind of keep pace with Wukong, 01:18:55.240 --> 01:18:57.080 which makes it a little bit easier to kind of control 01:18:57.080 --> 01:18:58.880 what KC can do in these early stages. 01:18:58.880 --> 01:19:03.120 Yeah, incredibly dangerous when they have extra time 01:19:03.120 --> 01:19:03.960 to roam around. 01:19:03.960 --> 01:19:06.480 Look at the deep vision from KC through the red quadrant 01:19:06.480 --> 01:19:08.240 of TL's jungle as well, 01:19:08.240 --> 01:19:10.480 so they can look to try and set up these plays, 01:19:10.480 --> 01:19:13.560 try and set up some more roams in between. 01:19:13.560 --> 01:19:17.160 Yeah, of course, the homework done for Dragon was definitely very thorough. 01:19:17.960 --> 01:19:18.760 Absolutely. 01:19:20.860 --> 01:19:22.260 But Morgan just going to clear out the wave. 01:19:22.260 --> 01:19:25.360 We did have waves equalizing towards the top side as well. 01:19:25.460 --> 01:19:28.860 But with 81 to 81, as far as CS is concerned between these top laners, 01:19:28.860 --> 01:19:31.360 that Killgold retained here for Morgan 01:19:32.160 --> 01:19:35.260 does feel like the Nara is in a much better position than I was expecting 01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:40.660 in this matchup against the Vayne that does really like to catapult themselves 01:19:40.660 --> 01:19:45.140 into a good position in the earlier stages, rather than utilize late game. 01:19:45.140 --> 01:19:48.340 That being said, I feel like how this composition works later on in the game 01:19:48.340 --> 01:19:50.980 is a little bit different to a traditional Bane in the top lane 01:19:50.980 --> 01:19:53.020 with another 80 carry there towards the bottom side. 01:19:53.860 --> 01:19:56.780 Yeah, trying to have so much pressure on all three lanes. 01:19:56.780 --> 01:20:00.020 You just show one person each lane and then have two junglers basically 01:20:00.020 --> 01:20:02.140 with Buccio also always hovering around. 01:20:02.140 --> 01:20:06.860 It looks like they decided top lane, where Jan is going to be the target. 01:20:06.860 --> 01:20:08.540 Now, Jyke does have his ult back. 01:20:08.540 --> 01:20:12.860 Yeah, only level 5 for Buseo as there's a rocket jump in, flashes away immediately, 01:20:12.860 --> 01:20:16.940 and the Hextech sweep does come on down. Yon does have Buster Shot, gets rid of the vein, 01:20:16.940 --> 01:20:19.580 and there's the barrier, but it's not going to be enough. Yank able to lock down that... 01:20:19.580 --> 01:20:20.540 But in the behind the wall! 01:20:20.540 --> 01:20:23.340 ...little bit late. The paranoia comes in though as Morgan gets in. 01:20:23.340 --> 01:20:26.140 The Meganar is a little late as he's looking for more. 01:20:26.140 --> 01:20:30.940 Buseo was the guaranteed kill, but he does not actually go for it. 01:20:30.940 --> 01:20:34.540 Went for the big one, and that's going to let them all live apart from Buseo, 01:20:34.540 --> 01:20:36.860 who will be caught by the very edge of the shockwave. 01:20:36.860 --> 01:20:40.520 That could have gone so much worse for KC though as the Avengers assembled 01:20:40.520 --> 01:20:44.980 They just about much to scurry away from that. It'll only be Buccio who has to give his life 01:20:44.980 --> 01:20:48.520 And in the end they've got a zigzag just pushing bottom lane there, Kalist 01:20:48.520 --> 01:20:51.380 There's two turret plates off of that bottom side turret now 01:20:51.860 --> 01:20:56.700 Jose is continuing through the top side jungle invade though. Yeah looking for Yaike 01:20:56.700 --> 01:21:01.160 We'll be out of pushing away from this inner turret by some more space for Morgan as well to possibly get another plate 01:21:01.160 --> 01:21:02.840 But Buccio back out onto the map 01:21:02.840 --> 01:21:06.780 Cora is gonna show up here as well still level 5 for both of our supports 01:21:06.860 --> 01:21:11.180 Call JJ very very close to getting that Magnet storm available if they can find a fight with 01:21:11.820 --> 01:21:14.280 Support ultimate advantage that could be a big deal 01:21:14.400 --> 01:21:20.920 There's nothing really coming up and available within that time which is going to be quite a slight window as Cora JJ will be out of hit that 01:21:21.200 --> 01:21:23.200 ultimate now 01:21:23.200 --> 01:21:27.040 The eggs turn to get into a good spot though just completed the triforce. You can see here is KC 01:21:27.040 --> 01:21:28.480 They end up going for the dive 01:21:28.480 --> 01:21:31.520 It's a nice job by yon to flash away from the hit from Buzio 01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:36.660 But it's kind of just getting range to get that condemn into the wall then sets up for the follow-up play 01:21:36.660 --> 01:21:39.600 But with an RTP in behind I thought this was gonna be it 01:21:39.600 --> 01:21:43.040 But we're kind of getting the flash over the wall you I've been able to get over as well 01:21:43.540 --> 01:21:47.040 There's no one on team liquid that they can really find so Casey 01:21:47.120 --> 01:21:50.760 It's only Buzio gets caught on the lip of this ultimate from quick 01:21:51.040 --> 01:21:57.460 Yeah, right on the edge and then Morgan was so close to being in like flash now range after he got over that wall 01:21:57.460 --> 01:22:02.600 doesn't go for it but does hold onto the flash and we are missing a couple of flashes over the side of KC 01:22:02.600 --> 01:22:08.200 So maybe some good news for TL. We'll just have to see how it all does shake out as quick trying to get some vision back 01:22:08.200 --> 01:22:14.820 Here putting some wards into this brush, but full information is there as you're gonna pick up a solo kill in the bottom lane 01:22:14.920 --> 01:22:18.900 This is the first time we kill it. Oh, hang on. It's quick and after a run away here 01:22:19.340 --> 01:22:23.160 Does have his ultimate back up and available once again, but yeah, let's go back to what just happened 01:22:23.160 --> 01:22:29.220 Cause that's Kalis first time ever playing Zeke's in a competitive game and he's just so low on Yon 01:22:29.400 --> 01:22:33.500 Like where the hell has this been hiding? Yeah, we need a replay of that because you know 01:22:33.500 --> 01:22:37.220 Yeah, Yon didn't have a summer suppose from the topside play but Kalis didn't flash or anything 01:22:37.220 --> 01:22:43.040 So take a look at it. He's hitting some bombs I assume yeah, because it's not like you don't have a leap away is 01:22:43.480 --> 01:22:47.880 Tristana so that was the initial poke to be saw a lot of damage honestly off of that first 01:22:47.880 --> 01:23:04.880 No joke. He just doesn't miss. He just hit every bomb. That's the answer. Wow. Huh. Well, that'll do it. Little bit of disrespect there. Adion. And they will be able to pick up that solo kill towards the bottom side. 01:23:04.880 --> 01:23:09.360 Morgan with that mega now now up and available busier is going to be supporting kind of here 01:23:09.680 --> 01:23:14.880 And that will mean that this now won't be able to get any more plate money towards that topside first tarot blood going over to 01:23:14.880 --> 01:23:17.800 KC though as that one was eradicated from the bottom lane 01:23:18.160 --> 01:23:20.360 Ziggs doing exactly what it says on the tin 01:23:20.360 --> 01:23:24.640 But especially when Callista faced so much kind of backlash over his initial tournament showings 01:23:24.640 --> 01:23:32.120 This is a fantastic performance 1.6k gold lead on it when he's never played majors before now looking to rotate around the map and continue 01:23:32.120 --> 01:23:36.660 to grow that leads. This is exactly what Europe wanted to see from this young AD carry. 01:23:36.660 --> 01:23:39.860 Yep, this is textbook zig-play as well. Just move them to another lane with a turret. 01:23:39.860 --> 01:23:43.580 Yeah, and that's perfect for the comp that they have, since they want to play the map 01:23:43.580 --> 01:23:48.360 so spread here with all these different pressure points, and they're going to overload, delete 01:23:48.360 --> 01:23:52.700 this tower with another satchel charge, and continue the snowball. 01:23:52.700 --> 01:23:57.380 Beautifully done. So immediately moving up to two turrets taken, mid lane outer is ready 01:23:57.380 --> 01:24:02.580 to fall as well as we can see although not as ready to fall as I may have otherwise expected 01:24:02.580 --> 01:24:05.940 and I see I'm getting a little bit more ground there in mid as we have a look at the coinbase 01:24:05.940 --> 01:24:12.020 gold grind yeah Kalista doing a phenomenal job up against Yon here and they do need their Tristana 01:24:12.020 --> 01:24:16.820 to start getting strong for that late game consistent damage and it's so scary too because 01:24:16.820 --> 01:24:21.620 Buccio also had a pretty good start so we're going to see the combo the Camille ult and the 01:24:21.620 --> 01:24:27.140 zig ult and all this guaranteed damage if Kalista is fed then that damage is just going to be lethal 01:24:27.140 --> 01:24:31.520 You're just gonna get one combo'd. I do think the shining light here for TL though 01:24:31.520 --> 01:24:33.680 Is that Casey stayed very late on the map? 01:24:33.680 --> 01:24:38.980 So with rift how about to spawn in 20 seconds Casey are now only looking for those resets so TL 01:24:39.380 --> 01:24:43.960 Knowing that I starting to step forward get some deep vision make sure they can set up for the objective first 01:24:43.960 --> 01:24:46.180 Yeah, and they also have level 11 on quit as well 01:24:46.180 --> 01:24:50.560 So ranked two in that shockwave and we haven't really seen the Nocturne Orianna combo 01:24:51.200 --> 01:24:56.200 Employed just yet. So in a straight up 5v5 things could be difficult for Casey 01:24:56.200 --> 01:25:02.160 They have a lot of smoke and mirrors in their composition, and I think if TL managed to sink that bangs in it could be a tough one to play out 01:25:02.200 --> 01:25:06.320 Yeah, I'm definitely looking at Morgan. See if he can get over there 01:25:07.160 --> 01:25:10.260 Once the charge up his Narbar a little bit on the way as well 01:25:10.260 --> 01:25:16.000 He does have his flash every pretty much everybody except for quid. Yep as the safety of their flash for this fight 01:25:17.520 --> 01:25:21.240 Jose is just going to be using that spell she over the cyclone comes down immediately 01:25:21.240 --> 01:25:25.640 There's a hexa-cultimatum, but maybe Bousy has gone too far. His core JJ will help lock him down 01:25:25.640 --> 01:25:28.640 That is Morgan giving it away as Jose goes in. 01:25:28.640 --> 01:25:30.640 It's a big knock from Morgan as well. 01:25:30.640 --> 01:25:32.640 Kalis getting taken down so low over the Dustbringer. 01:25:32.640 --> 01:25:33.640 It's not enough. 01:25:33.640 --> 01:25:34.640 Morgan's dead. 01:25:34.640 --> 01:25:35.640 Yeah, it was a full health. 01:25:35.640 --> 01:25:38.640 And now it's KC's turn to start moving forward. 01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:41.640 That's a great distance to try and slow down this rise. 01:25:41.640 --> 01:25:43.640 And they do hold them at bay for now. 01:25:43.640 --> 01:25:44.640 Oh, those flashes were critical. 01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:47.640 You know, being able to draw Buccio that far under tower 01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:49.640 and then core with the combo to keep him there, 01:25:49.640 --> 01:25:51.640 started it out good for TL. 01:25:51.640 --> 01:25:54.640 But then they also go under KC's tower, Dagger. 01:25:54.640 --> 01:25:58.320 And it was also just a little early on that combo from KC, right? 01:25:58.320 --> 01:26:03.000 At least if you waited a little bit for that Boosio Woltz actually land would have been able to get that ultimate first. 01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:07.080 But with that flash, you can talk about getting away, Jose Dioto lives and... 01:26:07.080 --> 01:26:09.880 Oh, it became a spicy play in the mid lane. 01:26:09.880 --> 01:26:13.440 And it's what we were talking about, we were waiting to see the Nocturne Orianna combo, then it comes in! 01:26:13.440 --> 01:26:17.200 And now we're sitting at 4-4, everything tied up once again. 01:26:17.200 --> 01:26:24.000 Yeah, it was a buy one get 3-3 though, because usually when you do the Nocturne Orianna combo, it's you kill the carry. 01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:29.400 Mind you to pick off all those members of KC and push them back was so crucial for that play. I think yeah 01:26:29.400 --> 01:26:32.920 I think the nocturne or a combo got Morgan a little too hype. Yeah 01:26:33.760 --> 01:26:38.160 Little bit overly into I got super hype to we're all like oh my goodness. I was not 01:26:41.040 --> 01:26:45.440 I was hyped for the League of Legends, don't worry Dagger. I'll be with you. Hey, see fine 01:26:45.440 --> 01:26:46.920 I know you're on it's okay 01:26:46.920 --> 01:26:52.720 Yeah, yeah, just trying my very best to be completely unbiased with my favorite player of all time on one of the teams in this game 01:26:52.720 --> 01:26:58.160 Okay, we do have the Rift Herald now getting taken down very very low as Jose trying to make Boussier scared 01:26:58.160 --> 01:27:02.440 But Boussier not a very scared man as they will be able to take down the Rift Herald immediately thrown down 01:27:02.960 --> 01:27:09.160 What's your about that one? I think they thought that he was in danger. So he was gonna give the exit car 01:27:09.400 --> 01:27:11.760 Yeah, it's like Boussier got caught or something 01:27:12.280 --> 01:27:17.960 Instead it's giving some gold over to Jose and that is about it is now gonna have a look at the replay of the previous fight 01:27:17.960 --> 01:27:21.960 Yeah, I mean as we see this kickoff like the immediate jump on the Jose Giotto 01:27:21.960 --> 01:27:25.700 But here I expected them to wait for Bruce Yosot to land before they throw this easel 01:27:25.700 --> 01:27:29.600 And then as you call it Kobe flashing under the terror bunch by bit of space 01:27:29.600 --> 01:27:32.800 But I think it's Morgan with this combo that ends up setting up really well 01:27:32.800 --> 01:27:39.320 Yeah, so Jose gets a triple shockwave. We all got hyped and then Morgan does the bounce in and then flashes over 01:27:39.320 --> 01:27:40.080 Oh 01:27:40.080 --> 01:27:45.920 And so he just dies under tower doesn't get them and you know that everybody having flashes had the big difference 01:27:45.920 --> 01:27:50.100 I did yeah, it was the Morgan old that looked a little wonky to me 01:27:50.100 --> 01:27:52.360 I thought he'd hit a couple of members, but just couldn't connect 01:27:52.360 --> 01:27:56.800 Yeah, no no kind of flash now no Calis flash now no yike flash now after that 01:27:57.880 --> 01:28:04.840 Because of it and so the summoner spells being traded have to keep on you know these cooldowns here slightly more 01:28:05.120 --> 01:28:10.280 You know effective now for TL you would think with y'all having the double summer spells both their main carries 01:28:10.280 --> 01:28:15.040 Yeah, both Ari and the Tristana having summoners available for a drake that's morning in 30 seconds time 01:28:15.040 --> 01:28:18.060 I think could be a big deal fighting for double dragon here on both sides 01:28:18.060 --> 01:28:21.600 Yeah, I do think an early stop-off will kind of third item here for Clistin. Yeah 01:28:21.600 --> 01:28:23.880 Who getting that secrets arm guard is gonna be really crucial 01:28:23.880 --> 01:28:30.400 Just nullifying the amount of targets the teammate could have for this nocturn Orianna combo is gonna be fake and it kind of just leaves 01:28:30.400 --> 01:28:32.800 Con out in the open, but look he's gonna have to take one for T 01:28:33.520 --> 01:28:38.800 Right now, too. They're gonna have to answer the split post look at KC. They've got both sides pushing in here with the vain rise 01:28:39.360 --> 01:28:44.880 And so TL gonna send Morgan up here drop the cannon. Yeah one answer is at least that 01:28:45.040 --> 01:28:50.520 We're going to be taking down that crystalline overgrowth just yet as Morgan does set himself up to take out at least that way 01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:55.680 We do have anyway pretty close to TL's front door as well on that bottom side of the map 01:28:55.680 --> 01:29:00.960 It's Kasey going to utilize this pressure in the sidelines to try and take down this dragon has been started up already 01:29:01.160 --> 01:29:06.360 Not a lot of vision available for TL Morgan also doesn't have TP. He used it to get to the riff trail plays 01:29:06.360 --> 01:29:10.200 So Kasey realizing that was Morgan went topside are going to be the ones to take it 01:29:10.200 --> 01:29:12.200 Now it would be Khan in trouble. 01:29:12.200 --> 01:29:13.200 Yeah. 01:29:13.200 --> 01:29:15.200 Paranoia going to come in immediately. 01:29:15.200 --> 01:29:19.200 And now Jose should be able to make this a very scared vain. 01:29:19.200 --> 01:29:23.200 And Morgan just going to pick that one up with a cheeky auto attack after Jose did all the work. 01:29:23.200 --> 01:29:24.200 Yeah, nice move here from Teal. 01:29:24.200 --> 01:29:26.200 They make that call pretty early. 01:29:26.200 --> 01:29:28.200 Hey, we're not going to be able to get this dragon. 01:29:28.200 --> 01:29:29.200 So just keep on pushing top side. 01:29:29.200 --> 01:29:33.200 And we'll look, you know, if Khan is still there, then we'll pop the ultimate. 01:29:33.200 --> 01:29:34.200 And they do. 01:29:34.200 --> 01:29:39.200 They get side of him so that Jose is able to connect with the Nocturne ultimates and grab that one. 01:29:39.200 --> 01:29:43.600 that one even though they did have that top lane summoner spell advantage and 01:29:43.600 --> 01:29:48.160 gentlemen there was a there was like a 1.6k gold advantage for Calypso 01:29:48.160 --> 01:29:55.120 where is it gone I'm genuinely curious I don't know where it went yeah I think 01:29:55.120 --> 01:29:59.600 Ayana did have the calls so partly that's probably it and then you know 01:29:59.600 --> 01:30:03.200 picking up some of the turrets as well but yeah it's just been team liquid 01:30:03.200 --> 01:30:05.920 managing to play on side lanes well and picking off some of the members that 01:30:05.920 --> 01:30:08.320 that have been striking him for KC. 01:30:08.320 --> 01:30:09.720 And I think that's kind of where now, 01:30:09.720 --> 01:30:11.080 with the Nocturne on board, 01:30:11.080 --> 01:30:12.520 it does become a little bit more difficult 01:30:12.520 --> 01:30:14.240 for KC to really get plays here. 01:30:14.240 --> 01:30:15.640 They can't really push out mid. 01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:18.800 They haven't been able to get as much control on side lanes 01:30:18.800 --> 01:30:19.760 because of the Nocturne, 01:30:19.760 --> 01:30:21.840 which is stopping them getting the mid lane turret 01:30:21.840 --> 01:30:23.880 and kind of pushing those advantages forward. 01:30:23.880 --> 01:30:25.560 Yeah, it feels like the key players right now 01:30:25.560 --> 01:30:27.720 for each team is Jose for Team Liquid. 01:30:27.720 --> 01:30:29.160 The Nocturne ultimate is going to determine 01:30:29.160 --> 01:30:32.160 so many of their plays, and then Vuccio on KC. 01:30:32.160 --> 01:30:33.720 But there it is. 01:30:33.720 --> 01:30:35.320 That's a lot of damage towards his paint. 01:30:35.320 --> 01:30:39.240 It was going visible underneath the turret, so they actually could kill Kanna here. 01:30:39.240 --> 01:30:44.320 They did manage to flash away from that Orianna ult as well, so Kanna stays alive. 01:30:44.320 --> 01:30:48.960 That's the immediate go button on the Baron, and Team Liquid trying to see if they can re-enter here. 01:30:48.960 --> 01:30:52.760 Yeah, and it's only on Koji-Jane Morgan for now, as Morgan is going to get turned on. 01:30:52.760 --> 01:30:54.920 Great nabba position, but I don't know whether it's going to be enough. 01:30:54.920 --> 01:30:56.680 He's already taken down very, very low. 01:30:56.680 --> 01:31:00.840 He tries to crush away flashes out as that Cyclone tries to hold him into position. 01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:02.560 And Yon, now moving forward. 01:31:02.560 --> 01:31:07.020 Casey have backed away from the Baron though. They're just gonna now rel walk themselves. Oh what? 01:31:07.020 --> 01:31:09.760 Oh what? Mid lane for no- what? Why did we do this? 01:31:09.760 --> 01:31:15.140 There's now Quidd is going to be able to help lock them down. That's a kill over to Yon and that felt like a mistake. 01:31:15.140 --> 01:31:19.000 That was certainly a mistake Atlas. Right into the waiting arms of Core JJ. 01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:24.120 They wanted to get over to the wave to defend mid lane, but Core just lets him have it. 01:31:25.360 --> 01:31:27.360 Yeah, who saw T1 doing it? 01:31:27.360 --> 01:31:33.520 That's why I was about to say to do it, but that was a huge mistake because I don't think they could turn back towards the baron 01:31:33.680 --> 01:31:38.600 Morgan had the TP they didn't get the kill so there was going to be too many members of team liquid at the barn and 01:31:38.760 --> 01:31:40.760 In trying to protect mid lane 01:31:40.760 --> 01:31:43.920 They end up just giving across kills on top of the mid lane tower 01:31:43.920 --> 01:31:46.920 What was their vision like on the mid wave they for sure start your stana? 01:31:46.920 --> 01:31:54.080 Did they not see the rail right there because the rise realm warp has been serving people up on silver platters this tournament 01:31:54.080 --> 01:31:57.420 Yeah, it seems to be a negative ultimate for the Ryze team. 01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:00.320 We'll see whether that is going to be something that can be rectified 01:32:00.320 --> 01:32:01.320 as we move further on. 01:32:01.320 --> 01:32:02.520 But let's have a look at this one more time. 01:32:02.520 --> 01:32:05.360 I really thought that the turn on the Morgan was going to work for KC. 01:32:05.400 --> 01:32:07.800 Yeah, they really almost were able to burst him, 01:32:07.800 --> 01:32:09.800 but he's able to flash out and escape. 01:32:09.800 --> 01:32:12.840 And then so there is a control ward here that course in, 01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:14.540 but they see him there. 01:32:14.540 --> 01:32:17.400 So they just, yeah, they just don't respect him. 01:32:17.400 --> 01:32:19.200 He popped his head out of the bush for a second there. 01:32:19.200 --> 01:32:19.800 Yeah, yeah. 01:32:19.800 --> 01:32:23.940 And the Shattering Strike Flash just beautifully timed and positioned 01:32:24.080 --> 01:32:26.080 But it was capitalizing on a mistake. 01:32:26.080 --> 01:32:29.080 Yeah, maybe it wasn't keeping track of their flash cooldowns again. 01:32:30.080 --> 01:32:36.080 Well, we'll just have to see whether that is going to continue here as TL moving themselves into a really good position here in this game. 01:32:36.080 --> 01:32:41.080 Not quite able to take a Baron or anything like that off the back of that play and only a 2,000 gold lead. 01:32:41.080 --> 01:32:49.080 For this next drake, they should be able to even things out and get a little bit of control here with a composition that scales pretty nicely as we get later and later into the game. 01:32:50.080 --> 01:32:53.080 Certainly does. The Orianna and Nocturne combo, Atlas. 01:32:53.080 --> 01:32:59.340 It's a lot of like keep it simple. We have a phrase that's called kizger, which is keep 01:32:59.340 --> 01:33:04.700 it simple. It does roll off the tongue. I'm really glad because we thought that when we 01:33:04.700 --> 01:33:09.940 came up with it. And it just means it just build compositions that are easy to execute, 01:33:09.940 --> 01:33:12.900 make them work. You can focus on fundamentals. You don't need to worry about how the team 01:33:12.900 --> 01:33:15.380 fights are going to work. And this is kizger to a T. 01:33:15.380 --> 01:33:20.140 Yeah, and there's so many good targets to use your combo on. 01:33:20.140 --> 01:33:27.060 So lots of squishy available targets for them to try and burst the Seekers armguard was bought on reset by the ziggs though 01:33:27.060 --> 01:33:31.900 So Kalista's kind of taken away as one of those targets that war doing work here just bought out where team liquid is 01:33:32.060 --> 01:33:37.560 Yeah, but Casey not exactly in position. They do spot that word out though, and they are going to back away from the Baron 01:33:38.420 --> 01:33:42.020 It's yeah, who has the realm warp though, and he's been playing heavily on this bottom side 01:33:42.020 --> 01:33:44.860 So I think team liquid are hoping they could get that cool down out of yeah 01:33:44.860 --> 01:33:50.020 Who but with 20 seconds now into a dragon is cool down has been working very well within team fights 01:33:50.020 --> 01:33:55.180 that is a liquid so far so maybe they don't want to get that one out let's see 01:33:55.180 --> 01:33:59.940 to can they protect Orianna because put has been doing a lot of work here and 01:33:59.940 --> 01:34:04.740 now he set up for another possible combo with Jose a little flank around 01:34:04.740 --> 01:34:09.460 possibility from yike he's gonna since they had pushed on bottom side really 01:34:09.460 --> 01:34:12.780 heavily maybe he was thinking we approach this dragon from bottom side 01:34:12.780 --> 01:34:16.220 instead of mid TL are gonna get the mid proud of themselves they're gonna push 01:34:16.220 --> 01:34:19.620 it that way and enter from top yeah feel like KC's control of the Drake so far 01:34:19.620 --> 01:34:22.360 This game though have been pretty fantastic as Bruce here goes in 01:34:22.360 --> 01:34:27.980 I don't know about that what he's just said wasn't able to click any buttons onto anyone and just goes down and now KC 01:34:27.980 --> 01:34:32.180 Just have to scatter they'll have to give up this dragon and can't take even more 01:34:32.300 --> 01:34:36.900 They have to give up so much control as well means that there's already kind of that wave that's been pushed in me 01:34:36.900 --> 01:34:41.180 It's that team liquid can reconnect with I'm also potentially move over towards the barn area 01:34:41.180 --> 01:34:45.100 Who's you can't make it back out in time, but they're controlling them up so well right now 01:34:45.100 --> 01:34:47.540 Yeah, I mean the casey comp is so fragile, right? 01:34:47.540 --> 01:34:49.340 You have to make split-second decision. 01:34:49.340 --> 01:34:50.500 Not very kisagin'. 01:34:50.500 --> 01:34:51.700 No, it's not. 01:34:51.700 --> 01:34:54.940 You have to hit these combos. 01:34:54.940 --> 01:34:57.220 If they don't get a stun to play off of, 01:34:57.220 --> 01:34:58.980 then nobody else is going to go in. 01:34:58.980 --> 01:35:00.820 And so the Baron now is the next threat. 01:35:00.820 --> 01:35:02.420 Bousyo, though, back on the table, 01:35:02.420 --> 01:35:04.220 support death timers are pretty sure how to rail. 01:35:04.220 --> 01:35:05.900 Well, Kaur is going to get in there with the Magnus, 01:35:05.900 --> 01:35:07.460 so they look to turn this fight around. 01:35:07.460 --> 01:35:08.660 Bousyo going to be the first target. 01:35:08.660 --> 01:35:09.940 Nigger in front of him comes in, though. 01:35:09.940 --> 01:35:12.340 The Cyclone's fantastic, as they do manage to get a kill. 01:35:12.340 --> 01:35:13.980 But Yon is just untouched. 01:35:13.980 --> 01:35:15.460 Yeah, who's taking so much damage, 01:35:15.460 --> 01:35:21.860 now the reset start to come in. Yon really feeling like he's hit his stride in this game and TL 01:35:21.860 --> 01:35:27.300 they didn't want the brown. They just want to kill them all. Kill them all and then take the resets 01:35:27.300 --> 01:35:32.660 here. They've got a lot of extra cash to spend. Let's take a look at it though because CoreJJ 01:35:32.660 --> 01:35:38.820 as you caught him out he sweeps over the wall they get another big CoreJJ rail engage and then 01:35:38.820 --> 01:35:43.060 Justana and Jose can both go over and here comes the shockwave as well. They're going to be able 01:35:43.060 --> 01:35:45.480 able to get this one on multiple members. 01:35:45.480 --> 01:35:48.660 That's four members in Quinn's Shockwave. 01:35:48.660 --> 01:35:50.980 Absolutely, Tez, KC apart. 01:35:50.980 --> 01:35:52.340 KC thought they had their moment, 01:35:52.340 --> 01:35:54.420 but Team Liquid just baiting them in. 01:35:54.420 --> 01:35:56.780 The whole time, Ultimate Dunn had Buster Shot. 01:35:56.780 --> 01:35:59.020 Like, even if they had tried to get on top of him, 01:35:59.020 --> 01:36:01.140 he still has the cooldown. 01:36:01.140 --> 01:36:01.980 Oh my goodness. 01:36:01.980 --> 01:36:02.820 Shockwave damage. 01:36:02.820 --> 01:36:04.220 You can see how much it's doing Quinn 01:36:04.220 --> 01:36:05.620 on the Orianna, putting in work. 01:36:05.620 --> 01:36:09.500 This also bodes really well for the series for Team Liquid. 01:36:09.500 --> 01:36:12.060 If Quinn is not nervous in game number one, 01:36:12.060 --> 01:36:16.700 He talked a lot about it when we had him up on the desk, you know, in their series versus 01:36:16.700 --> 01:36:20.280 T1 and in the past series as well throughout his career. 01:36:20.280 --> 01:36:25.720 So it's very good to see for NA fans if Quidd is feeling comfortable and confident in the 01:36:25.720 --> 01:36:29.220 games and of course if he has a good performance here in number one. 01:36:29.220 --> 01:36:33.700 I think if you're ever going to be nervous, ever, it's when you're a mid laner playing 01:36:33.700 --> 01:36:37.180 against Faker in an international tournament. 01:36:37.180 --> 01:36:40.620 I'm not blaming Quidd for that one at all, ever. 01:36:40.620 --> 01:36:44.220 Speaking to you one, we're going to do a little Baron here, our vision. 01:36:44.220 --> 01:36:47.900 A little bit of a cheeky one, but they do have a lot of control of this game for now, 01:36:47.900 --> 01:36:51.260 and this Baron should just go over to them. Yank is going to poke his head in, but Yank, 01:36:51.260 --> 01:36:55.020 we mentioned the Buster Shot, he does have it, uses it, and Yank can have to just try and get 01:36:55.020 --> 01:36:57.660 himself out of there. Now the Nocturne ult does come on through, there's the Shockwave, 01:36:57.660 --> 01:37:01.740 but it's avoided by Bustio, just beautifully, and they've taken down the Trist already, 01:37:01.740 --> 01:37:06.060 quit down a lot of trouble, but he does manage to at least take out Bustio, but CoreJJ going to be 01:37:06.060 --> 01:37:11.200 required to stop quid from going down and the Baron was not secured and KC just 01:37:11.200 --> 01:37:15.880 gonna say thanks for the leash. KC find the moment to bring it back with the 01:37:15.880 --> 01:37:21.340 realm warp that actually works out perfectly. Yeah, Yon took so much damage from the Baron. 01:37:21.340 --> 01:37:25.660 Yon got so low for the Baron. Alright, looking for an angle here is once again 01:37:25.660 --> 01:37:29.180 Kodjeje finding an angle that is a lot of damages. Yikes in a lot of trouble, gets 01:37:29.180 --> 01:37:32.900 the Cyclone down and Kanna is trying to get these orders in. Yeah, who is a monster? 01:37:32.900 --> 01:37:45.460 But it's a massive ulti from Morgan into the wall, Yeh who gets Baron involved, and he's gonna go down to the Baron shot as Kanna just gets out of there, Spawn's losing his mind, and the Baron stays alive. 01:37:45.460 --> 01:37:48.900 You know who wins NA vs EU? It's the Baron! 01:37:48.900 --> 01:37:52.900 Baron up, baby! Baron Nassar wins! 01:37:52.900 --> 01:38:02.100 What an insane fight though, because Yeh goes in and turns the focus from Team Liquid, but it's a realmwap that ends up bringing in Yeh who flashes the Orianna ult, gets a ton of damage down with Buseo, 01:38:02.100 --> 01:38:06.700 But it's as they try to follow up that's kind of where it starts to fall apart because quick separates 01:38:06.700 --> 01:38:11.020 Yeah, who goes a little bit too far trying to step up and as they turn back towards the barron 01:38:11.020 --> 01:38:17.040 That's when team liquid fall back on core JJ. I love League of Legends. We're back at the Baron guys 01:38:17.040 --> 01:38:21.900 We're doing it again. It's Casey's got a cheeky ward over the wall, but they don't have any players 01:38:22.220 --> 01:38:25.780 So this Baron is finally going to be secured by TL 01:38:25.780 --> 01:38:31.460 I'm pretty sure Baron actually last hit it a triple kill in that last very impressive play out of the purple worm 01:38:31.460 --> 01:38:35.900 We're going to need that highlight reel, I think, in the package towards the end of the day. 01:38:35.900 --> 01:38:41.060 As we now have Morgan going in, looking for an angle, that was not the option that Callis was looking for, 01:38:41.060 --> 01:38:43.460 but that is quite a decent stopwatch. 01:38:43.460 --> 01:38:44.820 Still, it's just not going to do anything. 01:38:44.820 --> 01:38:45.820 He's going to go down. 01:38:45.820 --> 01:38:46.820 That's going to be an inner turret. 01:38:46.820 --> 01:38:50.980 And this is exactly what you don't want, is to have your main form of wave clear dead 01:38:50.980 --> 01:38:52.860 when the Baron is knocking at your front door. 01:38:52.860 --> 01:38:56.580 I love, I mean, that tower did nothing to Morgan. 01:38:56.580 --> 01:38:58.580 Actually was doing negative damage to him. 01:38:58.580 --> 01:39:00.740 So yeah, good tower dive for women. 01:39:00.740 --> 01:39:06.680 Oh, we've got another angle here as Jose De Odo just going to give them the thumbs up in multiple different ways. 01:39:06.680 --> 01:39:11.040 TL now just going to look to end this game. First Nexus turret is now taking damage. 01:39:11.040 --> 01:39:14.180 Jose with paranoia available, Yakuza in a lot of trouble. 01:39:14.180 --> 01:39:19.080 There it is. He's going to follow into the fountain and the Nexus turrets will be falling. 01:39:19.080 --> 01:39:22.780 Decent amount of AWP goes golden. They need him to actually do damage. 01:39:22.780 --> 01:39:28.540 But the Nexus is now being focused. TL looking for game one in this EU versus NA battle 01:39:28.540 --> 01:39:32.100 to bring them one game up in the series. 01:39:32.100 --> 01:39:33.860 They're gonna grab some kills first 01:39:33.860 --> 01:39:36.380 and that is going to be that one zero 01:39:36.380 --> 01:39:38.340 for Team Liquid Alienware. 01:39:38.340 --> 01:39:41.220 Woo, what a banger opener right there. 01:39:41.220 --> 01:39:44.220 That man, we just had it at the beginning of the day, 01:39:44.220 --> 01:39:45.820 probably the best series. 01:39:45.820 --> 01:39:47.540 I think it's already there. 01:39:47.540 --> 01:39:48.820 I'm gonna go out on a limb. 01:39:48.820 --> 01:39:51.580 All biases aside, I know we like watching our teams win. 01:39:51.580 --> 01:39:53.260 Some teams have been doing some winning 01:39:53.260 --> 01:39:54.700 apart from deep cross gaming, 01:39:54.700 --> 01:39:57.220 but so far this has been so entertaining. 01:39:57.220 --> 01:39:58.380 More of this please gentlemen. 01:39:58.380 --> 01:40:03.320 Yeah, it's your turn. Your turn next deck. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is going to five games. Yeah. Yeah. 01:40:03.320 --> 01:40:11.060 Yeah, this is just a quick bit stop, you know. Yeah, right. KC just very, very, very generous. Giving us as many games as possible. 01:40:11.940 --> 01:40:16.420 But man, that was one heck of a game. Gentlemen, what did you make of it? 01:40:16.860 --> 01:40:21.340 Oh, well, we spent a little bit too much time talking about AD carries at the start of the day in junglers. 01:40:21.340 --> 01:40:27.580 apparently was all about top lane my god what a gap I did not see that one coming it hurts but 01:40:27.580 --> 01:40:32.700 if I keep shouting maybe the pain will go away I mean Morgan has been on one in this tournament 01:40:32.700 --> 01:40:38.700 it is crazy because it's so unexpected for me where when he first came into the lcs everyone's 01:40:38.700 --> 01:40:43.420 talking to me about this guy is the go laner he's so hard to play against you can't breathe 01:40:43.420 --> 01:40:47.500 but by the end of this split when I talked to top laners they're saying yeah Morgan hasn't really 01:40:47.500 --> 01:40:51.260 improved that's why they put him on tanks he's no longer much of a force in laning you know 01:40:51.260 --> 01:40:56.220 He's kind of just there and he comes this tournament. He's chained solo solo killing Dorian 01:40:56.220 --> 01:41:02.740 He's solo killing Kana after getting cheese level one and counterpick against the vain exhaust 01:41:03.380 --> 01:41:07.280 Like that is actually crazy. Yeah, and it definitely takes two to tango 01:41:07.280 --> 01:41:09.820 I do feel like kind of made some mistakes and allow that to happen 01:41:09.820 --> 01:41:11.820 But Morgan punishing it so well 01:41:11.820 --> 01:41:16.900 And of course Morgan kind of being this reliable rock for the team when the rest of map was a little bit messy, right? 01:41:16.900 --> 01:41:20.700 We saw some hiccups in the bottom lane yon stumbling a little bit Busey of finding these creative angles 01:41:20.700 --> 01:41:26.160 But when push came to shove TL managed to hold the line, which in that last sequence of play 01:41:26.340 --> 01:41:30.640 We were going back and forth. Oh, that's a throw. Oh, they threw. Oh this guy outplayed. Oh, that guy outplayed 01:41:30.640 --> 01:41:32.500 So I think thanks to the Cisco network 01:41:32.500 --> 01:41:38.640 We can take one more look at what was probably the wildest sequence we have seen at MSI thus far 01:41:39.000 --> 01:41:44.460 Starting off looking so good for team liquid and getting really hairy really fast. So big mistake here is 01:41:45.160 --> 01:41:46.260 Who's a 01:41:46.260 --> 01:41:49.700 Here's a go to moves off the baron and we see you on just get one shot 01:41:49.700 --> 01:41:55.540 The ziggs damages that I still flash if he was tanking the baron big mistake and it looks initially favored towards KC 01:41:55.820 --> 01:42:01.060 But then as they start to disengage you see KC move on to the baron start to take more damage and 01:42:01.420 --> 01:42:06.860 Morgan is the one who ends up making the big play to decide this exactly Morgan comes back here was obviously split comms between 01:42:06.860 --> 01:42:11.500 Yawn and Jose do we peel do we stay on but then core look at this engage from core 01:42:11.500 --> 01:42:14.560 He was stellar throughout this whole game, flashes in, 01:42:14.560 --> 01:42:18.420 Callisto does not react, gets burst down, had the seekers, 01:42:18.420 --> 01:42:19.820 but just got one shot. 01:42:19.820 --> 01:42:23.300 And then Morgan kites out the exhaust and gets Mega, 01:42:23.300 --> 01:42:26.660 flashes in, catches Yehu against the wall there 01:42:26.660 --> 01:42:28.260 with the last of his mana. 01:42:28.260 --> 01:42:29.460 Quinn is able to finish him off. 01:42:29.460 --> 01:42:31.820 And that was such a big sequence of play 01:42:31.820 --> 01:42:34.940 because there were mistakes both from Yan or from Jose 01:42:34.940 --> 01:42:36.540 who everyone put it on and then from Callisto. 01:42:36.540 --> 01:42:37.900 And it was kind of back and forth, 01:42:37.900 --> 01:42:41.220 but it's also brilliant plays from people on either side 01:42:41.220 --> 01:42:43.860 that are capitalizing on these little missteps. 01:42:43.860 --> 01:42:45.460 And it's just so crucial that you have a player 01:42:45.460 --> 01:42:46.580 who can't step in these moments. 01:42:46.580 --> 01:42:48.660 And as we've been saying, and we will continue to say, 01:42:48.660 --> 01:42:49.940 Morgan really was that guy. 01:42:49.940 --> 01:42:51.980 Because again, from the get-go, we 01:42:51.980 --> 01:42:54.060 saw KC prioritize Khan on the top side. 01:42:54.060 --> 01:42:55.380 They get the counter pick bane. 01:42:55.380 --> 01:42:57.060 They set him up with the level one gank. 01:42:57.060 --> 01:42:59.540 You take a look, it feels like this should have just been over. 01:42:59.540 --> 01:43:01.620 We were ready to pack it up in terms of what we would see 01:43:01.620 --> 01:43:03.300 from Morgan on the top side of the map, 01:43:03.300 --> 01:43:05.740 but he recovered so fantastically. 01:43:05.740 --> 01:43:07.180 And this does feel like where we have 01:43:07.180 --> 01:43:09.420 to leverage a little bit of criticism towards Khan. 01:43:09.420 --> 01:43:13.900 I mean, this is a really smart play because you already have a favorable matchup for the Vayne, especially with Exhaust. 01:43:13.900 --> 01:43:18.900 There's a summoner, Morgan, has to start the hop as well to get away from this already low HP, 01:43:18.900 --> 01:43:23.180 and he doesn't reset here, decides he doesn't have enough time and actually moves back in the lane. 01:43:23.180 --> 01:43:26.260 So he's at a massive disadvantage, and then... 01:43:26.260 --> 01:43:30.580 Exactly, and this honestly, Kana does almost every stage of this wrong. 01:43:30.580 --> 01:43:35.780 You roll into the gnar with Wallop, then the Exhaust comes out after the boulder toss has already hit. 01:43:35.780 --> 01:43:44.680 Then he uses the condemn, he still has flash, doesn't flash either of the wall ups, gets hit by another bolder toss, goes down without even using the flash. 01:43:44.680 --> 01:43:51.380 And yeah, this is really beautiful for Morgan, but Kana played every aspect of that 1v1 wrong. 01:43:51.380 --> 01:43:57.580 And when your team is giving you draft resources, level 1 resources, you can't make those kind of mistakes. 01:43:57.580 --> 01:44:05.080 Yeah, because we so often see, you know, Camille plus Siggs, Camille plus Mal have a really strong level 1 on the back of the ignite and Camille. 01:44:05.080 --> 01:44:08.120 They sacrificed that bot lane to put that attention top, 01:44:08.120 --> 01:44:11.440 and then it was just ultimately irresponsible with that lead. 01:44:11.440 --> 01:44:14.200 And ultimately, while both teams had individual members that made mistakes, 01:44:14.200 --> 01:44:16.960 it's TL that walked away rightfully so with the win. 01:44:16.960 --> 01:44:18.800 We didn't even get to talk about mid lane, 01:44:18.800 --> 01:44:23.400 but the Nocturne Orianna so hotly contested and so well utilized by TL 01:44:23.400 --> 01:44:26.360 really brought back what was a difficult back-and-forth game. 01:44:26.360 --> 01:44:27.840 So on the opposite side for KC, 01:44:27.840 --> 01:44:30.160 I think we need to see more from Clis, he had a good start, 01:44:30.160 --> 01:44:32.760 but wasn't reacting fast over those final fights, 01:44:32.760 --> 01:44:34.960 and we definitely need to see more from Kana. 01:44:34.960 --> 01:44:41.960 He got so far ahead of the curve, there was that time when he was just hitting bot lane tower, getting plates for free, getting farm for free, got more plates in the top lane. 01:44:41.960 --> 01:44:52.960 He was super ahead of the curve as Ziggs had a lot of damage in his build and then a couple of fights where the ult wasn't hitting the right targets and then just dying with Flash, with Sykes arm guard up, really felt rough. 01:44:52.960 --> 01:44:59.960 And it is his, you know, first mage game, but when the game started, I was like, hey, he looks really solid on this. This is a carryable game for him. 01:44:59.960 --> 01:45:07.320 Yeah, absolutely. It's gonna be exciting, but right after the break game to coming up next 10 KC bounce back 01:45:07.320 --> 01:45:10.760 Or will TL bring us the match point bounce back? 01:45:29.960 --> 01:45:43.960 This is your home and this is your fight, fight for the fight. 01:45:59.960 --> 01:46:04.960 where players split from their clubs and compete for national pride. 01:46:04.960 --> 01:46:07.960 Will China test every limit imaginable? 01:46:07.960 --> 01:46:11.960 Will South Korea turn every game into a macro masterclass? 01:46:11.960 --> 01:46:14.960 Will EU and NA actually play in the correct lanes? 01:46:14.960 --> 01:46:17.960 The final event of the year is not to be missed. 01:46:17.960 --> 01:46:21.960 Esports Nations Cup 2026. See you in Riyadh. 01:47:29.960 --> 01:47:31.960 Players and fans bring the heart. 01:47:31.960 --> 01:47:33.960 Technology brings it to life. 01:47:33.960 --> 01:47:37.960 Every frame, every stat, every decisive play. 01:47:37.960 --> 01:47:40.960 In partnership with League of Legends eSports, 01:47:40.960 --> 01:47:42.960 we are driving digital innovation 01:47:42.960 --> 01:47:46.960 that empowers the eSports ecosystem to keep expanding. 01:47:46.960 --> 01:47:48.960 So players can focus on the game, 01:47:48.960 --> 01:47:51.960 and fans can focus on the moment. 01:47:53.960 --> 01:47:58.960 Times like this are where star players shine. 01:47:58.960 --> 01:48:07.960 And new legends step up, where legacies are built and dreams are realized, are ripped apart. 01:48:23.960 --> 01:48:25.960 When I was a player, 01:48:25.960 --> 01:48:27.960 If I was to make a misplay, 01:48:27.960 --> 01:48:29.280 and it's my mouse, 01:48:29.280 --> 01:48:30.440 and it's my armrest, 01:48:30.440 --> 01:48:31.800 something feels wrong. 01:48:31.800 --> 01:48:33.960 If you were at home, you wouldn't do that. 01:48:33.960 --> 01:48:35.520 The Infinite Position Armrest 01:48:35.520 --> 01:48:36.440 is part of the largest 01:48:36.440 --> 01:48:38.840 circle app on-stage standard initiative 01:48:38.840 --> 01:48:40.320 aimed to bring your home 01:48:40.320 --> 01:48:41.560 or training room settings 01:48:41.560 --> 01:48:43.160 to the tournament stage. 01:52:25.960 --> 01:52:34.000 Tell exactly why he is smiling because he's now into the HyperX Champion Select for game number two with a victory under his belt 01:52:34.000 --> 01:52:38.020 Having played a pretty beautiful knockdown game, but I think you know 01:52:38.020 --> 01:52:43.120 This is this has been about like the top lane the solo lanes right when I think a lot of us are talking about 01:52:43.120 --> 01:52:46.720 Both side of the map earlier on in the day. I actually think though coming into this 01:52:46.720 --> 01:52:49.800 They will start KC will start to shift their focus through the bottom lane 01:52:49.800 --> 01:52:53.100 I think with the Nautilus bond they're looking towards things like the Ash Seraphine 01:52:53.100 --> 01:52:58.600 which has been their kind of comfort pick over the course of this bliss and even got to see it coming out against T1 as well 01:52:58.600 --> 01:53:04.580 I imagine with the barbine as well, they will just go back towards this. Well, let's let's see what is gonna happen 01:53:04.580 --> 01:53:10.640 I think no more experimentation is what a lot of people will be calling for as far as that bottom lane is concerned 01:53:10.640 --> 01:53:15.860 There's now kind of what are we going to be picking up the rise the Orianna both of them unavailable? 01:53:15.860 --> 01:53:18.240 But the anivia that was banned in the last game 01:53:18.240 --> 01:53:23.160 My guess is theoretically an option that are less intriguing when the rise has been banned 01:53:23.220 --> 01:53:27.680 Still taking a while to figure out exactly what to lock in is finally will be that seraphane 01:53:27.680 --> 01:53:29.680 So we are looking at the ash seraphane option 01:53:29.760 --> 01:53:36.240 What we have seen is the responsive ash Lulu. Yeah to deny it, but I don't know whether that's where TL want to go 01:53:36.240 --> 01:53:39.720 Yeah, it's interesting because there have been so many different types of responses 01:53:40.080 --> 01:53:46.400 You know the Ezreal karma is kind of the right and true old like super good in land poke them out 01:53:46.400 --> 01:53:49.900 Have a lot of pressure as well. So we'll see what direction they decide to go 01:53:49.900 --> 01:53:53.280 They've also been happy and like the list used to be a big center player 01:53:53.280 --> 01:53:58.840 So can also fall back to like Santa Seraphine if you really want to in that regard, but let's see is it is going to be the least 01:53:58.840 --> 01:54:01.960 In so do they try and take away the ash bush? 01:54:01.960 --> 01:54:06.800 I mean you're gonna be very happy about a least in for Jose Dioto. He's kind of he's gonna popped off on that coat 01:54:11.240 --> 01:54:13.240 You wouldn't shit up about it 01:54:16.400 --> 01:54:21.520 Yeah, let's see what they decided to go with into the Ash Seraphine because there are you can go kill lanes 01:54:21.520 --> 01:54:26.380 Yeah, okay, it looks like this has been a favorite that we've witnessed is like Mel Pike 01:54:26.880 --> 01:54:31.660 Through the Ash Seraphine is a bit of a kill option. Yeah, but I just double-checked he hasn't won on us 01:54:35.240 --> 01:54:37.520 Yeah, that was the warm-up one, you know 01:54:38.560 --> 01:54:42.240 That was the training episode. Oh, there's the rumble 01:54:42.240 --> 01:54:47.700 I really love it like uncle and the equalizer is a lot of powers. There's Ezreal Seraphine 01:54:47.700 --> 01:54:52.360 So they do rap so people you do Ezreal Seraphine as like the backup usually when they don't have that 01:54:52.360 --> 01:54:53.460 Yeah, when the Ash has been back 01:54:53.460 --> 01:54:59.340 I think it's because of Mel. They don't they don't like you need the extra safety, you know, they can't have too many 01:55:00.680 --> 01:55:04.340 vulnerable no mobility targets. Also, you really don't want a National Arrow coming back at you 01:55:04.340 --> 01:55:07.840 Yeah, you can often happen when you fight against the Mel. I think it will certainly make sense. 01:55:07.840 --> 01:55:11.600 an encore coming back at you or a true shopper coming back at you. 01:55:11.600 --> 01:55:13.480 So there is still a lot of value for that. 01:55:13.480 --> 01:55:16.880 That freaking Mount champion can reflect all these spells. 01:55:17.120 --> 01:55:18.040 Exactly. 01:55:18.040 --> 01:55:21.520 As Morgan going to be taking the blacksmith towards the top side of the map, 01:55:21.520 --> 01:55:24.160 this has been his go to counter matchup for the rumble. 01:55:24.320 --> 01:55:26.400 We found a lot more counter matchups. 01:55:26.400 --> 01:55:29.960 In fact, one of his old favorites, the arc, does work into the rumble as well. 01:55:30.160 --> 01:55:32.800 It goes back to this one and we'll be out of augment the rest of his team. 01:55:33.000 --> 01:55:36.200 And even though Morgan just totally bodied Ghana and you're like, 01:55:36.200 --> 01:55:37.720 Hey, put Morgan back on the carry. 01:55:37.720 --> 01:55:40.320 Morgan actually was doing really well for tanks for Tio. 01:55:40.320 --> 01:55:44.760 This was something that they really indexed highly into in playoffs. 01:55:44.760 --> 01:55:47.320 And having that on Ultimate to go along with this 01:55:47.320 --> 01:55:50.240 is going to be great engage to try and attack the Seraphine. 01:55:50.240 --> 01:55:52.000 And it makes me a little nervous because Morgan also 01:55:52.000 --> 01:55:55.280 bodied Doran in this matchup only a couple of days ago. 01:55:55.280 --> 01:55:57.960 So I do think he's been absolutely spectacular. 01:55:57.960 --> 01:56:00.520 And I think it's been super interesting because I know Morgan 01:56:00.520 --> 01:56:03.640 didn't do as well domestically as people are hoping. 01:56:03.640 --> 01:56:06.440 But this tournament, he's been a force to be reckoned with. 01:56:06.440 --> 01:56:08.000 He's been absolutely incredible. 01:56:08.000 --> 01:56:09.720 He's come back home, he's got the good kimchi, 01:56:09.720 --> 01:56:11.160 and he's feeling fantastic. 01:56:11.160 --> 01:56:12.600 That's what I would assume. 01:56:12.600 --> 01:56:14.240 Having said, LA is pretty good for him. 01:56:14.240 --> 01:56:15.000 Yeah. 01:56:15.000 --> 01:56:16.160 You guys aren't doing too bad. 01:56:16.160 --> 01:56:17.600 You aren't doing too bad over there. 01:56:17.600 --> 01:56:19.000 But then if you're going to be taken away, 01:56:19.000 --> 01:56:20.800 I imagine Pike is just going to be banned. 01:56:20.800 --> 01:56:25.240 But it doesn't really feel like a Korge JJ champion to me. 01:56:25.240 --> 01:56:28.880 But it will be the Yone hitting the deck first. 01:56:28.880 --> 01:56:30.880 Yeah, it is going to be interesting to see what they 01:56:30.880 --> 01:56:32.440 go with this time around. 01:56:32.440 --> 01:56:33.880 Because now you're seeing the Ezreal, right? 01:56:33.880 --> 01:56:38.360 So it's a little bit less powerful to do the full-on kill lane 01:56:38.360 --> 01:56:40.680 that would want to take advantage of Ash with no mobility. 01:56:40.680 --> 01:56:45.760 So I definitely agree with you as far as Pyke also not really 01:56:45.760 --> 01:56:48.480 being one of course, go-to champion. 01:56:48.480 --> 01:56:51.160 So see what they opt to change to. 01:56:51.160 --> 01:56:52.400 And on the opposite side, though, it 01:56:52.400 --> 01:56:54.640 does look like they're trying to set up for the Ezir for Yahoo. 01:56:54.640 --> 01:56:56.880 This has been something he's been very comfortable on. 01:56:56.880 --> 01:57:00.080 Even though the rest of the globe was kind of falling 01:57:00.080 --> 01:57:01.920 to the wayside on the Ezir pick, this 01:57:01.920 --> 01:57:06.160 still a massive one for KC and with the Yoneban I imagine that's what they're looking at again here 01:57:06.160 --> 01:57:11.840 trying to just limit the answers that we can have into that. Well it is just a lot of comfort 01:57:11.840 --> 01:57:16.720 for KC so far as we do see the Cinder taken away and then the wreck side to follow. I've heard 01:57:16.720 --> 01:57:20.240 so many whispers of this wreck side jungle that's going to be coming out but I'm not going to be 01:57:20.240 --> 01:57:30.240 happening today. Dude I swear that Nerf of the Yi was very strong so we'll see if it does end up 01:57:30.240 --> 01:57:36.000 Oh, all right. That's another way of playing the bottom lane. That is indeed where it's going 01:57:36.000 --> 01:57:42.420 This is much more core JJ. Yeah, the pike kill. That's not so much. He freaking loves the Pantheon though 01:57:43.000 --> 01:57:49.240 So gives that point and click and they're still gonna have huge kill pressure huge burst potential plus 01:57:50.160 --> 01:57:55.280 I mean honestly, I mean, we'll see if this bug actually gets locked in but yeah, it is the yike specialty 01:57:55.280 --> 01:57:57.280 It's his pocket take has brought it a couple of times 01:57:57.280 --> 01:58:02.780 Maybe not the area to bring it out. What I have to see is they're just going to lock in the Anivia mid lane instead. 01:58:02.780 --> 01:58:10.780 This is a very slow moving composition so far as Boosier without the ability to hover the vein goes for the space vein once again. 01:58:10.780 --> 01:58:15.280 But we'll see what he is going to be locking in. We're looking for a jungler unless Rumble wants to go back there. 01:58:15.280 --> 01:58:17.780 But it's been quite a few years since the Rumble jungle has been a thing. 01:58:17.780 --> 01:58:23.280 The Anivia is an odd one for me because usually we see it into the rise because it's like, oh, I wanted to go at a lot of short range. 01:58:23.280 --> 01:58:27.960 And then I can try and play through that first you have like an orange that can break through the wall 01:58:27.960 --> 01:58:32.900 You've got long-range engage. You've got mail who's been able to play outside of the range of that wall as well 01:58:32.900 --> 01:58:36.520 And so I don't know how much value you're really gonna get from the inhib in this one 01:58:36.520 --> 01:58:40.700 But at least with the build another wall. I was gonna say yeah, we can't break all of them 01:58:40.700 --> 01:58:45.000 Yeah, I was gonna see you've got the hot pot combo now. That's slightly frozen the long side here 01:58:45.000 --> 01:58:49.200 So I don't know what we're calling this one, but at least you do have a lot. Nengmyeon is like 01:58:49.200 --> 01:58:50.760 Oh, no! 01:58:50.760 --> 01:58:52.480 OK, that's Yasuo. 01:58:52.480 --> 01:58:54.520 So I was going to say, yeah, when they've been to Yone, 01:58:54.520 --> 01:58:57.520 you're like, oh, let's take away more AD options from Qwitch, 01:58:57.520 --> 01:58:59.120 because they're running the male bottom. 01:58:59.120 --> 01:59:01.120 They didn't know he had a brother. 01:59:01.120 --> 01:59:05.440 Just go with the original brother back to the Yasuo. 01:59:05.440 --> 01:59:07.880 Yasuo into Anivia. 01:59:07.880 --> 01:59:12.000 And Yasuo into Seraphine sounds incredible, personally. 01:59:12.000 --> 01:59:15.200 The wind wall is going to get some good value, for sure. 01:59:15.200 --> 01:59:16.720 I just don't know whether it's actually 01:59:16.720 --> 01:59:18.400 going to quite work against the Anivia that's 01:59:18.400 --> 01:59:22.600 very very good at controlling space right yeah that's my biggest worry for 01:59:22.600 --> 01:59:25.840 the Yasuo in lane it's like yes you've got the wind wall to try and block the 01:59:25.840 --> 01:59:31.960 stone from the flash frost but if that's the last second so you can swap the wall it plays the Yasuo again 01:59:31.960 --> 01:59:39.760 that that doesn't sound good I could you calm down a little bit I watch game one man I don't know what to expect 01:59:39.760 --> 01:59:44.400 but I was super boosted how the hell do you get any value out of this airfield like it's either 01:59:44.400 --> 01:59:49.040 the wind wall or it's reflected like you just never get value from it at any point of time. 01:59:49.040 --> 01:59:54.720 Well you get the cooldown of both wind wall and rebuttal whose cooldowns are exceptionally long 01:59:54.720 --> 01:59:58.800 so that's um that's all I'm getting. Yeah that's what I got for you there Dagda and that's it. 02:00:00.080 --> 02:00:06.880 All right well ladies and gentlemen those are your drafts once again I mean a bit crazy this 02:00:06.880 --> 02:00:13.520 time I feel like TL has decided to go a little bit further off the deep end than KC has it feels 02:00:13.520 --> 02:00:17.520 like KC going back to their roots, back to some champions they have a lot of 02:00:17.520 --> 02:00:21.240 confidence on is let's get on to the rift for game number two of this best of 02:00:21.240 --> 02:00:25.120 five and see whether KC can even up the series. 02:00:27.120 --> 02:00:35.280 Alright gentlemen, let's see no weird starts at the beginning of this one so far. 02:00:35.280 --> 02:00:39.320 Jose and Yang just gonna be spotting each other out, yeah who just over to 02:00:39.320 --> 02:00:44.160 support as well. And not going to be too much funny business as 02:00:44.160 --> 02:00:46.760 quid just getting some vision down. Countervision already 02:00:46.760 --> 02:00:54.800 there. And some pretty standard starts. Okay, Yasuo into the 02:00:54.800 --> 02:00:58.840 Deathfire Touch, Anivia. Let's see it quid. They do have a lot of 02:00:58.840 --> 02:01:03.440 knockups to be able to set him up as well with the orn with the 02:01:03.440 --> 02:01:08.040 Lee Sin. Yep. And Jose has been very active when he has had that 02:01:08.040 --> 02:01:19.040 Well, ladies and gentlemen, Vendetta is Rift Bounds next set, it's arriving July 31st and brings together new champions, iconic rivalries and beautiful art from across Rune Terror. 02:01:19.040 --> 02:01:21.040 There are some summoner spells in the bottom lane, but I'm going to get back to this. 02:01:21.040 --> 02:01:24.040 Whether you want to collect or play, Vendetta has something for you. 02:01:24.040 --> 02:01:29.040 And TL and KC have a lot of fighting each other here in the bottom lane so far in this game. 02:01:29.040 --> 02:01:35.040 It is going to be KC getting the advantage though, and it looks like the Ezreal Seraphine is working out quite nicely. 02:01:35.040 --> 02:01:38.480 nicely. Boussio is pretty good at this champ, right Dacta? 02:01:38.480 --> 02:01:44.120 Yeah, it's kind of been the go-to domestically, like it has been one of the strongest champions. 02:01:44.120 --> 02:01:47.880 It does mean he's more kind of focused on the lane state, which I think Boussio has actually 02:01:47.880 --> 02:01:51.640 been spectacular at this MSI, actually moving around the map on things like the Camille 02:01:51.640 --> 02:01:57.080 and trying to get an impact in the early stages. But this is, we want to fully invest in winning 02:01:57.080 --> 02:02:01.520 in the early stages and oftentimes look for invades with Jyke afterwards, maybe less so 02:02:01.520 --> 02:02:04.040 on the Jarvan, but we'll have to keep an eye out. 02:02:04.040 --> 02:02:08.240 It's interesting too because Jose did the three-camp recall for Longsword. 02:02:08.240 --> 02:02:12.440 Start here, four jungle, four Lee Sin, so since both junglers are heading down to this 02:02:12.440 --> 02:02:17.120 bomb site map, if we do have the clash down there at the same time, then he is going to 02:02:17.120 --> 02:02:20.040 have the extra Longsword for the fight. 02:02:20.040 --> 02:02:23.200 Yeah, Morgan looking a bit aggressive here towards the top side of the map as we can 02:02:23.200 --> 02:02:27.040 see, kind of taking some damage as that brutal prop does come on through. 02:02:27.040 --> 02:02:29.480 Focusing on mid lane though is, yeah, who does have the egg, of course, so not going 02:02:29.480 --> 02:02:34.000 to be dying if he loses that health bar, but still not going to be feeling fantastic. 02:02:34.000 --> 02:02:42.140 You can so far quit doing pretty well on this Yasuo in the mid lane 24 to 18 as these minions are going to help even things up for KC. 02:02:42.140 --> 02:02:48.660 Yeah, nice early push from him and he goes to make sure that they're going to be able to get this bottom side Skuddle crab for Jose. 02:02:48.660 --> 02:02:55.300 Bottom lane also forced to back off as Jaik went for his reset after the full clear and he wants to head towards top crab. 02:02:55.300 --> 02:03:02.000 But I mean, quick and just move back up here as well and maybe we'll get a cross from Jose to get both. 02:03:02.000 --> 02:03:10.000 Yeah, that's exactly what he's looking for, safeguards his way over, and Quid will be able to help usher him towards that top side of the map as well. 02:03:10.000 --> 02:03:12.000 Double buffs here for Jose. 02:03:12.000 --> 02:03:18.000 As the ward does go down, flag and drag is good damage onto the Lee Sin so far, but Quid gets the inside track, there's the exhaust. 02:03:18.000 --> 02:03:24.000 Onto this Jarvan, the Windwolf, fantastic to block everything. The yeah who wants to do, you're not going to go down, that's first blood over to Quid. 02:03:24.000 --> 02:03:29.200 Over to Quinn, his can is looking to move his way in, the tiny wall, he's going to work out, but there's a sonic wave out of Jose! 02:03:29.200 --> 02:03:37.900 And now Quinn is trying to get back to Morgan, who gets the knockup, but down goes the midlaner, and now Jose comes over to make this a one fight for Teal. 02:03:37.900 --> 02:03:43.800 Huge skirmish here from Team Liquid, they know they have the extra power from the early Yasuo here in lane. 02:03:43.800 --> 02:03:50.700 And if that Scuttlecrab had actually been walking down towards the fight, then Quinn, he was trying to flash up so he could try and heal away on this Scuttlecrab. 02:03:50.700 --> 02:03:54.340 He ends up going down, but still the two for one there and the first blood. 02:03:54.340 --> 02:03:58.100 And it looked like miscommunication from KC as well, kind of hot push on topside, 02:03:58.100 --> 02:04:00.500 and it started to move, but then went back to lane. 02:04:00.500 --> 02:04:03.940 So, it looked like Jyke was trying to call both solo laners into the equation, 02:04:03.940 --> 02:04:06.700 but we're kind of being laced, TL end up taking the fights. 02:04:07.420 --> 02:04:09.700 Yeah, Kanna does manage to pick up a kill in the fight, 02:04:09.700 --> 02:04:13.700 so that will help him out in his matchup against Morgan. 02:04:13.700 --> 02:04:15.740 That is the only part of the good news here, 02:04:15.740 --> 02:04:18.580 is Yehu is still in a little bit of trouble. 02:04:18.580 --> 02:04:21.580 Teleports back to lane though, gets that health bar filled up once again. 02:04:21.580 --> 02:04:25.580 And I'm pretty sure still has the egg after everything was said and done. 02:04:25.580 --> 02:04:28.580 It's Kojoj, Spotsmusey on Yak, moving on in. 02:04:28.580 --> 02:04:31.580 And will be able to back himself out of the way of the enemy jungle. 02:04:31.580 --> 02:04:35.580 Yeah, let's take another look. So, Jose is very well aware that he could be in this bush, 02:04:35.580 --> 02:04:39.580 so they're kind of flirting around with it. And then Quick comes over, early exhaust as he pointed out. 02:04:39.580 --> 02:04:44.580 And then they can follow nicely. Jose hit his Q, so he could follow Yak very quickly. 02:04:44.580 --> 02:04:51.180 As they're mentioning, you know, the distance between the top laners actually get the kill so quickly that the slight earlier arrival here. 02:04:51.780 --> 02:04:56.180 Yeah, and that's why I was surprised, because Kanna had already walked down, he warded just to the pixel brush, 02:04:56.180 --> 02:04:59.280 and then went back up into lane as Yike went for the flag and drag. 02:04:59.280 --> 02:05:02.480 So, looked like Yike may be thinking, oh, Kanna's already moving? 02:05:02.480 --> 02:05:04.780 I can start this play, he'll arrive in time. 02:05:06.780 --> 02:05:09.380 He indeed! Exhaust from my mid laner! 02:05:09.380 --> 02:05:11.680 Yeah, good having a pretty good time, it's okay. 02:05:11.680 --> 02:05:17.100 Yike now moving in towards his bottom side as they're moving over as well really good position 02:05:17.680 --> 02:05:22.420 Defensively here for Jose just making sure that he is shadowing where Yike wants to be on this map 02:05:22.620 --> 02:05:28.820 And he's on down to about 50% but I don't think they're gonna be dying anytime soon some control here for KC so far 02:05:29.380 --> 02:05:34.160 Yeah, team liquid their bottom lane though just trying to avoid poke right now while they get the objective 02:05:34.260 --> 02:05:36.340 They know Jose and quit have got this 02:05:36.900 --> 02:05:41.580 under control and I mean Lee sin is good into a 02:05:41.680 --> 02:05:46.880 Jarvan, it's just that I think the Jarvan pick was just for comp all, and so in that little skirmish though 02:05:46.880 --> 02:05:50.840 You don't get to use you know your ultimates in here your synergies for your comp or anything 02:05:51.240 --> 02:05:54.160 And Jose really really coming out big there 02:05:54.480 --> 02:05:58.640 And it also means he's accelerated when coming towards levels right level six stale for himself 02:05:58.640 --> 02:06:00.480 He's trying to look really nice flash here 02:06:00.480 --> 02:06:05.720 So looking for a potential all in but Kortjej taking a lot of damage Boussio is burning corn nose that he's dead 02:06:05.720 --> 02:06:10.680 The flash away is perfect though Boussio keeps himself alive and that is the kill going over to KC 02:06:10.680 --> 02:06:15.160 Kail goes over, Busey will have to invest the flash in the end, but still here's the Invade we were talking about. 02:06:16.840 --> 02:06:23.880 Nike is just going to back away. That's exactly what's going on here as the blue buff is just going to be held on to here by Jose and Morgan. 02:06:23.880 --> 02:06:29.280 Getting a positional advantage as well means that yeah, her moving over is not going to be enough to get KC control back. 02:06:29.280 --> 02:06:30.680 So that will be buff stolen. 02:06:31.480 --> 02:06:37.280 Jose should just be able to walk his way out of there as well, smite it down, and they will take that one away. 02:06:37.280 --> 02:06:41.200 So a good advantage here from TL, but the goal entirely even between the two squads 02:06:42.080 --> 02:06:45.840 Antion's coming here to CoreJJ kind of sneaking around into the side brush 02:06:46.400 --> 02:06:51.440 All right possible angle here is another head splash from CoreJJ to get that control ward down 02:06:51.520 --> 02:06:55.280 KC has just backed away already though, so no worries just yet 02:06:55.440 --> 02:07:01.280 Yeah, it's just not a good timer for KC because Jose's got half the level lead, which means he has level six over the Jarvan 02:07:01.280 --> 02:07:07.920 So Lee Sin huge huge power differential at the moment in case he have to give up that area 02:07:08.640 --> 02:07:13.320 Yeah, Kojie a little bit behind on levels himself. I'm a level four at the minute 02:07:13.320 --> 02:07:17.960 As Vuccio has it that level five looking for the on-call. Yikes still needs this camp for the level six though 02:07:17.960 --> 02:07:20.380 He's very far behind so should be able to get it 02:07:20.380 --> 02:07:24.880 But you can see how much case you're invested in making sure that Yikes can try and farm just his own jungle 02:07:24.880 --> 02:07:27.880 Let alone trying to get control anywhere else and as a Jarvan 02:07:27.880 --> 02:07:32.160 this is where you want to be at your most impactful. So TL managing to shut down 02:07:32.160 --> 02:07:36.280 Yike is good, but Kalista and Bucio winning it on the bottom side like that's 02:07:36.280 --> 02:07:40.000 where the other side of the gold lead is coming from. They've been absolutely 02:07:40.000 --> 02:07:44.440 destroying Yon and Courage in this match. And now that they do have access to the 02:07:44.440 --> 02:07:49.320 level sixes there for the Mal for the Ezreal we'll see if there are some 02:07:49.320 --> 02:07:54.360 visits from jungles. A lot more burst damage available but as of right now 02:07:54.360 --> 02:07:58.880 Now it's the mid jungle 14 liquid that have dictated a lot of the pace of the game 02:07:58.960 --> 02:08:01.760 Yep, and now the void grubs have spawned right now 02:08:01.760 --> 02:08:06.080 We see Casey moving up there towards that top side of the map as quick dashing on over 02:08:06.080 --> 02:08:12.080 But yeah, who is doing a lot more now that he does have access to the glacial storm to try and hold this lane in order 02:08:12.080 --> 02:08:16.760 And yank will be able to get the first grub at least we'll see whether all three will go over to Casey 02:08:16.760 --> 02:08:19.600 Yeah, I mean Casey the Callisto walks all the way over there 02:08:19.600 --> 02:08:25.640 So Yon is getting a long time on the bottom tower and like this is an Ezreal without teleports and exhaust Ezreal 02:08:25.640 --> 02:08:27.640 So he's gonna have to walk all the way back down 02:08:28.560 --> 02:08:32.680 They do, you know get the grubs for their investment or at least two of them 02:08:32.720 --> 02:08:37.400 Yeah, Jose just going to be able to take this one down resonating strike going to do it as sir 02:08:37.400 --> 02:08:39.160 I mean TL getting one grub 02:08:39.160 --> 02:08:42.520 I mean, I think Casey is still gonna be absolutely fine with this the beat drops and 02:08:43.000 --> 02:08:46.920 Jose still gonna go in there's a flag and drag as Jose thinks that he might have called Buccio out 02:08:46.920 --> 02:08:51.600 But he just backs away himself. So really nice secure all of the first couple of grubs 02:08:51.600 --> 02:08:57.240 So he'll get at least one back, but he's still not the end of the world case. Yeah, but you're still losing this top side 02:08:57.240 --> 02:09:04.460 So on the initial invade that TL had you I couldn't get that grump because he was afraid of TL invading now after going for the 02:09:05.280 --> 02:09:08.200 Object from the top side loses that ground camp again 02:09:08.200 --> 02:09:12.240 So overall team liquid have just been keeping yike down this entire time 02:09:12.240 --> 02:09:14.040 You can see a two-level lead. 02:09:14.040 --> 02:09:17.080 Yikes, the last one will manage at least a seven 02:09:17.080 --> 02:09:18.560 when he gets towards his bottom side, 02:09:18.560 --> 02:09:20.160 but it's still very messy for Yikes. 02:09:20.160 --> 02:09:21.880 Yeah. Again, I just go back to, 02:09:21.880 --> 02:09:24.240 I think they really wanted the spicy hot pot. 02:09:24.240 --> 02:09:26.160 You know, they wanted the Jervinole for the rest 02:09:26.160 --> 02:09:27.640 of their comp, the rest of their champions, 02:09:27.640 --> 02:09:30.080 but Jose here on the leasing has opened up 02:09:30.080 --> 02:09:32.080 such a massive individual lead. 02:09:32.080 --> 02:09:33.560 Bottom side though, 2v1. 02:09:33.560 --> 02:09:35.160 Yeah, I'm taking a little bit of damage here, 02:09:35.160 --> 02:09:36.600 but does just walk his way out. 02:09:36.600 --> 02:09:39.160 He will be fine, at least for the minute. 02:09:39.160 --> 02:09:40.520 Has his Hextech cookie after ready. 02:09:40.520 --> 02:09:44.480 I think they spotted Yike moving in as there's a rebuttal. 02:09:44.480 --> 02:09:47.480 And that will be able to at least help him speed up, 02:09:47.480 --> 02:09:49.320 move out of the way, alongside the Flash. 02:09:49.320 --> 02:09:50.480 I think this is the one part of the map 02:09:50.480 --> 02:09:52.040 that Casey can try and play around. 02:09:52.040 --> 02:09:54.360 Is the bot lane, like already they've got a nice lead 02:09:54.360 --> 02:09:55.200 opening up for themselves. 02:09:55.200 --> 02:09:56.560 This will only grow now as well. 02:09:56.560 --> 02:09:59.400 And the fact that the Flash is gone and yarn now, 02:09:59.400 --> 02:10:01.800 means that they should be able to try and punish that again. 02:10:01.800 --> 02:10:03.320 If, especially getting Team Liquid 02:10:03.320 --> 02:10:05.960 trying to play through this strong topside four invades. 02:10:05.960 --> 02:10:10.040 Yeah, 100% of three right there. 02:10:10.040 --> 02:10:12.920 Ezreal here for Kalis, looking quite good. 02:10:12.920 --> 02:10:15.800 Definitely one of his favorite, most comfortable champions. 02:10:15.800 --> 02:10:18.920 And as you said, with Buzio having so much success too, 02:10:18.920 --> 02:10:21.320 definitely will be a very powerful team fight 02:10:21.320 --> 02:10:22.720 when they bring those two in. 02:10:22.720 --> 02:10:24.480 Yep, it's going to be the lane to play around, 02:10:24.480 --> 02:10:26.560 I think, for KC. 02:10:26.560 --> 02:10:30.120 And this composition is pretty stable. 02:10:30.120 --> 02:10:33.360 I think stable is the right word to talk about this, 02:10:33.360 --> 02:10:35.000 as in the meantime, KC, 02:10:35.000 --> 02:10:37.040 now just gonna be playing real far back 02:10:37.040 --> 02:10:38.000 from this out of turret. 02:10:38.000 --> 02:10:42.920 You can see Jaik is hovering as well as Jaik moving down towards the spot on the lane as well. 02:10:42.920 --> 02:10:45.760 But it does have to go back as the waves are going to be crashing in mid. 02:10:45.760 --> 02:10:49.080 And the dragon going to be started up here. TL have double dragon on the table. 02:10:49.080 --> 02:10:53.200 But again, it does throw down Jaik. He wanted to go into this topside to try and clear his top camps in the spawn, 02:10:53.200 --> 02:10:55.560 but instead was pulled down to cover for that play. 02:10:55.560 --> 02:10:59.760 So Team Liquid going to be able to take dragon and then sweep through their own jungle look towards topside. 02:10:59.760 --> 02:11:03.000 So again, it's just value for the jungler, Jose Diodo. 02:11:03.000 --> 02:11:06.120 Exactly. And Jose is wielding an eclipse right now. 02:11:06.120 --> 02:11:10.880 So yeah, yike being on little pieces. Yeah, you're like you have no business going over there 02:11:10.880 --> 02:11:12.880 That's why I'm so focused on 02:11:13.160 --> 02:11:18.480 Like the best tooling I didn't pick up first as well for like that one item spike you're feeling and I was told earlier 02:11:18.480 --> 02:11:22.520 It was a full moon. So I don't know what an eclipse is doing here at all. Yeah, I didn't understand that part 02:11:25.520 --> 02:11:28.840 Yeah, they'll need to they'll need to fill us in on what exactly that meant 02:11:28.840 --> 02:11:32.000 I'm gonna need an explainer because that was weird to say the least okay 02:11:32.000 --> 02:11:35.840 Yike going to be starting up this quad camp and that is going to the last one 02:11:35.840 --> 02:11:38.920 See where he's going to be going next to shop, Raj going to be sent back towards Galist 02:11:38.920 --> 02:11:42.760 He doesn't want it and so he's just going to be sailing around Runeterra once again 02:11:43.000 --> 02:11:48.720 Yeah, who back in this mid lane and I do feel like KC this composition is just very happy to play this one slow 02:11:48.720 --> 02:11:53.460 The slower this game goes the better it is for the EU representative and so 02:11:53.880 --> 02:11:54.840 Right now TL 02:11:54.840 --> 02:11:59.480 I think the ball is in their court to get this one moving faster and with an infernal soul this game 02:11:59.480 --> 02:12:02.720 that is really gonna help if they can keep stacking these strikes yeah I 02:12:02.720 --> 02:12:05.280 think Team Liquid would really like to try and open up one of these sideline 02:12:05.280 --> 02:12:09.160 towers because their 1-4 is pretty impressive like once quake gets a couple 02:12:09.160 --> 02:12:12.440 of items it's gonna be really difficult to keep him in check because Buccio yeah 02:12:12.440 --> 02:12:16.560 and they get jumped on here by Jose de Odo there is called JJ from the sky and 02:12:16.560 --> 02:12:20.840 where did Buccio go? He thought he was the one hiding here on the wall he thought 02:12:20.840 --> 02:12:24.120 he thought he was you know the one laying the trap yeah well he was 02:12:24.120 --> 02:12:26.120 He's definitely hiding, but then they found it! 02:12:27.620 --> 02:12:30.620 Right on ultimate right over the top there instantly. 02:12:30.620 --> 02:12:34.620 Beautifully played by Kojaje, though he has been phenomenal this tournament 02:12:34.620 --> 02:12:38.620 and did not hesitate for one second on that mandra. 02:12:39.620 --> 02:12:42.620 Okay, cannot look into some harpoons, but does just get himself back over 02:12:42.620 --> 02:12:46.120 and Jose is going to follow him. There is the ram coming through for Morgan as well. 02:12:46.120 --> 02:12:50.120 They are on the equalizer, but there's the knock-up and down goes for Rumble! 02:12:50.120 --> 02:12:54.000 They must have been listening to the broadcast because we said they needed to keep going fast 02:12:54.160 --> 02:12:58.480 Yike comes in to try and save the play as the on-cars extended by Yike 02:12:58.480 --> 02:13:02.720 And they should be able to get Morgan for it really nicely done to get one back for KC 02:13:02.720 --> 02:13:09.920 Thank God we did because I was running away with a very big lead. They've been everywhere, but Boussio's not safe 02:13:09.920 --> 02:13:16.200 Hold on. Hold on. Oh, they doesn't have ult though. So it was just being annoying. It's gonna be stops on backs 02:13:16.200 --> 02:13:18.200 He can't kill him again. 02:13:18.200 --> 02:13:19.200 Not quite yet. 02:13:19.200 --> 02:13:20.200 Don't worry. 02:13:20.200 --> 02:13:25.200 Yeah, this has been Team Liquid playing so well around this early jungle lead for Jose 02:13:25.200 --> 02:13:28.200 Diodo and making sure they're just getting in the face, abusing the mach up and making 02:13:28.200 --> 02:13:31.200 sure that KC don't really get to play it, although Yehu. 02:13:31.200 --> 02:13:35.200 He is looking a whole lot better here, is right on the edge of that stun as the exhaust has 02:13:35.200 --> 02:13:40.200 to come through here to avoid that frostbite from just killing this Yasuo. 02:13:40.200 --> 02:13:44.200 Okay, KC now should be able to move down and the two and a half minutes on the drakes 02:13:44.200 --> 02:13:49.480 Jose's gonna be here first and he is four seconds away from his ult. 02:13:49.480 --> 02:13:52.960 Two is going to miss as he looks for the safe gun. 02:13:52.960 --> 02:13:57.400 There's a mini stun gets the knockup so they pull the bird into the sky, take him down 02:13:57.400 --> 02:13:58.400 to the egg. 02:13:58.400 --> 02:14:01.440 The rest of KC trying to get over here, there's the double knockup from Quinn and Quinn should 02:14:01.440 --> 02:14:05.480 be going down but they get the bird first as Quinn is then going to be executed, boosts 02:14:05.480 --> 02:14:08.280 you over the wall and I think it's just a one for one. 02:14:08.280 --> 02:14:11.280 Yeah, one for one plus you count like maybe the pass of egg. 02:14:11.280 --> 02:14:13.280 Oh yeah, one and a half. 02:14:13.280 --> 02:14:15.520 Maybe 1.2 or something like that. 02:14:15.520 --> 02:14:18.840 But yeah, they do get that, and then investing the extra teleport. 02:14:18.840 --> 02:14:21.760 So, they drew out the teleport from Kana here, 02:14:21.760 --> 02:14:26.680 KC using the extra summoner spell to get here in time and defend it. 02:14:26.680 --> 02:14:28.120 Yeah, and Jose plays as well. 02:14:28.120 --> 02:14:30.800 Gets the kick into the wall, that sets up for Quid to be able to join. 02:14:30.800 --> 02:14:34.480 And even as this starts to play out, watch the knock-up coming through for Quid, 02:14:34.480 --> 02:14:36.320 because Yai tries to go for the flag and drag, 02:14:36.320 --> 02:14:39.280 but it gets interrupted there perfectly by Quid. 02:14:39.280 --> 02:14:41.000 And even though he does end up falling down, 02:14:41.000 --> 02:14:46.300 The replays of him's Phase 2, one get the kill, two get the flash from Buseo, and then able to back away. 02:14:46.300 --> 02:14:51.240 Exactly. The extra summoner spells there, as is by KC, during the skirmish. 02:14:51.240 --> 02:14:56.180 We'll see about the next dragon. It's only a minute and 20 seconds away, and you know Team Liquid are going to set up again. 02:14:56.180 --> 02:14:59.180 Yeah, and I think this is where KC really needs to turn this game around. 02:14:59.180 --> 02:15:04.240 On that next dragon fight, if they deny that, it slows down TL so considerably. 02:15:04.240 --> 02:15:07.480 adds an extra 10 minutes to a potential Soul Timer 02:15:07.480 --> 02:15:10.680 and gives you that extra space in order to get this composition online 02:15:10.680 --> 02:15:12.600 as they are on this for Terrald already. 02:15:13.600 --> 02:15:17.960 I wonder here for TL because CORE does have his ulti 02:15:18.320 --> 02:15:20.600 and Jose is here on two items, okay? 02:15:20.600 --> 02:15:22.240 This is Sundered Sky and Eclipse. 02:15:22.240 --> 02:15:24.320 Yeah, and you mentioned CORE JJ's ulti. 02:15:24.320 --> 02:15:27.760 Well, he is now going to be over a wall, as Yahoo over to the side, 02:15:27.760 --> 02:15:29.560 not going to get picked up by that tornado. 02:15:29.560 --> 02:15:31.720 It's now CORE realizing that he's in a lot of trouble, 02:15:31.720 --> 02:15:33.200 has to try and commit to this one. 02:15:33.200 --> 02:15:37.900 It is Rift's Herald secured, and then I'll trade that for their Pantheon as Morgan. 02:15:38.400 --> 02:15:41.900 A little bit late to this party, but sometimes it's better late than never. 02:15:42.100 --> 02:15:43.500 Although, maybe not this time. 02:15:44.000 --> 02:15:47.000 And as TL, just trying to get back towards their mid lane, as Morgan just says, 02:15:47.000 --> 02:15:50.200 get out of the way wall, and he is going to be able to at least head for that one down. 02:15:50.200 --> 02:15:54.000 Now the Ram's coming in, and maybe, maybe late is actually better than never, 02:15:54.000 --> 02:15:56.600 as they're in the Cataclysm, but Yike is no longer there. 02:15:56.600 --> 02:16:00.200 He's been taken out first as Jose just trying to safeguard around the bayou, 02:16:00.200 --> 02:16:02.760 Getting whatever he can done is kind of with the flame splitter. 02:16:02.760 --> 02:16:05.160 Quid kept alive by the save god. 02:16:05.160 --> 02:16:07.160 Why are they allowed to get out of this one? 02:16:07.160 --> 02:16:09.400 Quid will be taken out as Jose. 02:16:09.400 --> 02:16:11.880 I mean, he's so much money if they can get that kill, 02:16:11.880 --> 02:16:12.920 but they aren't able to do so. 02:16:12.920 --> 02:16:14.920 But still, KC getting some big kills back. 02:16:14.920 --> 02:16:17.960 KC just about managed to turn it around the one for two, 02:16:17.960 --> 02:16:20.200 but yeah, still here with Core JJ. 02:16:20.200 --> 02:16:21.160 We'll just back away. 02:16:21.880 --> 02:16:24.760 Big win, even though they do lose the Rift turn. 02:16:24.760 --> 02:16:27.400 Yeah, it's all kind of domino effect from Core JJ's ultimate. 02:16:27.400 --> 02:16:30.000 and him going down early, putting TL added numbers 02:16:30.000 --> 02:16:33.840 disadvantage, KC, they really do make them pay for it. 02:16:33.840 --> 02:16:36.120 Getting the extra kills here, the extra money back. 02:16:36.120 --> 02:16:37.160 They can push topside. 02:16:37.160 --> 02:16:40.080 The only drawback for KC is that Yike did go down 02:16:40.080 --> 02:16:41.760 so they couldn't like rush over to dragon. 02:16:41.760 --> 02:16:42.960 But also, he is back up now. 02:16:42.960 --> 02:16:44.600 Connist took around so long in that topside. 02:16:44.600 --> 02:16:45.720 It doesn't mean that Team Liquid 02:16:45.720 --> 02:16:47.760 kind of in a position now to contest this 02:16:47.760 --> 02:16:50.160 because Morgan already coming out with quids. 02:16:50.160 --> 02:16:51.680 I don't know if they do this quite fast, 02:16:51.680 --> 02:16:52.880 but maybe they do. 02:16:52.880 --> 02:16:55.400 I mean, Jose is gonna be able to put down the Rift, Harold, 02:16:55.400 --> 02:16:59.960 to try and help out could be a bit of an abad old Harold situation here as they get the knock up 02:16:59.960 --> 02:17:05.760 onto Yeh who is over his own wall and it's actually not working out for him and now the Rift Herald is going to invade 02:17:05.760 --> 02:17:10.680 the dragon pit. Yeh has to get out of there. True shot barrage is not going to do anything at all. 02:17:10.680 --> 02:17:15.120 That's his team-mates. Now Yeh tries to get out, gets stacked by CoreJJ 02:17:15.120 --> 02:17:17.840 and that is going to be Soulpoint over to TL. 02:17:17.840 --> 02:17:23.480 Oh the party continues Atlas. This series is weird boys. I don't know what to do. 02:17:23.480 --> 02:17:26.480 You're right about the timing on the contest though, exactly. 02:17:26.480 --> 02:17:32.000 They put down, Rift Herald gets used so that they can go for this play, combo onto the 02:17:32.000 --> 02:17:37.080 Anivia, and then the DPS wasn't there on Dragon, so they're allowed to continue, drive their 02:17:37.080 --> 02:17:41.880 Herald in, and team Liquid retake control immediately. 02:17:41.880 --> 02:17:46.480 And now Shelly gonna get a double charge, so she invades the Dragon pit, charges the 02:17:46.480 --> 02:17:49.560 bottom turret, and then gets another one on the inner. 02:17:49.560 --> 02:17:52.840 That is the most overworked Shelly I've seen in my career. 02:17:52.840 --> 02:17:54.720 We're a great holiday package deal that she's 02:17:54.720 --> 02:17:55.920 mentioned to get on that one. 02:17:55.920 --> 02:17:56.720 You see the group now. 02:17:56.720 --> 02:17:57.520 A lot of Travis. 02:17:57.520 --> 02:17:58.560 You travel, yeah. 02:17:58.560 --> 02:18:01.160 Well, she was like, well, CoreJJ died for me, 02:18:01.160 --> 02:18:04.600 so I'm really going to make you guys feel worth it. 02:18:04.600 --> 02:18:06.000 I'm a resort tourist. 02:18:06.000 --> 02:18:08.480 I like to get to one place and have a good time. 02:18:08.480 --> 02:18:10.400 This was definitely a lot more moving around 02:18:10.400 --> 02:18:11.360 that I was ready for. 02:18:11.360 --> 02:18:12.800 But Shelly might like it. 02:18:12.800 --> 02:18:14.560 Yeah, but here you can see, Casey just 02:18:14.560 --> 02:18:15.360 already have the damage. 02:18:15.360 --> 02:18:18.360 Kana's super late because he went to push in topside. 02:18:18.360 --> 02:18:20.760 Kase, yeah, who walks away too far. 02:18:20.760 --> 02:18:22.560 Jose with a great call there. 02:18:22.560 --> 02:18:24.480 They just kick him again, set up for a quiz. 02:18:24.480 --> 02:18:26.480 Now, he does a good job escaping, 02:18:26.480 --> 02:18:28.080 but you've now got the rest of Team Liquid 02:18:28.080 --> 02:18:31.920 that can just get into the pit, push KC away, 02:18:31.920 --> 02:18:33.560 and it's just an easy dragon set up 02:18:33.560 --> 02:18:35.880 with, yeah, who eventually get in calls. 02:18:35.880 --> 02:18:37.520 And it's this kind of chaos 02:18:37.520 --> 02:18:40.080 that this TL composition thrives in as well, 02:18:40.080 --> 02:18:43.600 and they are able to create it at a moment's notice 02:18:43.600 --> 02:18:46.560 based on CoreJJ just falling on people, but in the sky. 02:18:46.560 --> 02:18:48.840 But it also feels like a very different form 02:18:48.840 --> 02:18:50.480 from KC that we saw domestically. 02:18:50.480 --> 02:18:52.480 Like team fights with their bread and butter as... 02:18:52.480 --> 02:18:53.480 Yike. 02:18:53.480 --> 02:18:57.480 Yeah, quitting a little bit of trouble in the sideline, but now Core is coming from the sky yet again. 02:18:57.480 --> 02:19:00.480 He does get charmed up, and now Jose making his way in. 02:19:00.480 --> 02:19:05.480 It's kind of the turn's up though. There's the ulti from Quick, gets out of the equalizer, and takes down Yike. 02:19:05.480 --> 02:19:10.480 These shields are working out so beautifully, but they take out the Oswoe in the immediate track. 02:19:10.480 --> 02:19:14.480 And CoreJJ taxis his way to Yehul and Kitsun's over life! 02:19:14.480 --> 02:19:17.480 What the hell?! Core's playing the best series of his life! 02:19:17.480 --> 02:19:24.480 So is Jose, baby. I mean, honestly. Nah, it's just a regular leasing game for the boy. Yeah, exactly. Right. He's gonna find 02:19:24.480 --> 02:19:31.480 Buccio here and I, you know, KordjJ won Worlds in 2017. That was a pretty good series as well, but I, like, recent memory? 02:19:31.480 --> 02:19:40.480 My God, he's playing so well. I don't know. I'm having fun. Not a fun. Not a fun. Not at all. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey. 02:19:40.480 --> 02:19:45.480 We're setting up for the River sweep. It's okay. As this looked really good for KC to start things off. 02:19:45.480 --> 02:19:51.080 also is in side lanes. It's a tail as old as time. I mean this TL they have really been thriving in these 02:19:51.080 --> 02:19:58.040 skirmishes especially with all the mobility here. Jose and quick keep comboing for these knockups so 02:19:58.040 --> 02:20:01.960 they're going to get enough damage done and Jose is so far ahead. He's king on the rift. 02:20:01.960 --> 02:20:07.240 Gordje, as you're saying, he's still in like flash and it's done. He was on 20 health like the whole 02:20:07.240 --> 02:20:13.000 team fight. Yeah, I mean it's just the fact that team members are in such a good position to rotate 02:20:13.000 --> 02:20:18.760 towards these planes they have the TP they had the push in mid and they just can't keep up oh my god that is 02:20:19.160 --> 02:20:27.720 horrific that is so cursed i love it jungle uh jungle depth boys i would say so i think i think he's 02:20:27.720 --> 02:20:35.800 pretty legendary um and i mean hosey is a player in general but uh yeah he's a 0 and 3 this lee sin 02:20:35.800 --> 02:20:40.760 is just a monster but it does again it's kind of sartner before we got the pick was that it 02:20:40.760 --> 02:20:46.200 It doesn't feel like the KC really, but yeah, I mean, this is not the style that I'd be looking at. 02:20:46.200 --> 02:20:51.400 Yeah, and the Coinbase gold grind, not something that Dagda wants to talk about, but Jose, 02:20:51.400 --> 02:20:58.520 very, very far ahead, 3.6k. And yeah, it's basically, if you're going to look at where the money's coming in from, 02:20:58.520 --> 02:21:04.680 let's just go with everywhere. Yike now in a lot of trouble, because they've really been able to hold him down this game, 02:21:04.680 --> 02:21:10.360 out of turret, now being sieged down, and they haven't done a whole lot of work as far as opening up the map through mid is concerned. 02:21:10.360 --> 02:21:14.040 and the WaveClear is still going to be there in spades here for Casey. 02:21:14.040 --> 02:21:17.640 As CoreJJ moves to number 11 as far as assists, 02:21:17.640 --> 02:21:22.840 and yeah, I think this is the right time to have a giant CoreJJ on the side of the screen. 02:21:23.800 --> 02:21:29.560 Honestly too, there's not a really huge possibility for the comeback 02:21:29.560 --> 02:21:33.560 because it's super difficult, as you were mentioning, to work into the mel reflect 02:21:33.560 --> 02:21:36.520 and the yasuo wall as well, so... 02:21:36.520 --> 02:21:39.720 It feels like the old wrong yasuo combo. 02:21:39.720 --> 02:21:42.320 Like, how much more torque can you get in the night, you fucking hell? 02:21:42.320 --> 02:21:44.320 Well, nope, we don't have the Dragon Soul yet, Dagdan. 02:21:44.320 --> 02:21:48.420 Oh, true shopperage is Yon just launches himself towards KC. 02:21:48.920 --> 02:21:54.620 And, uh, okay, Sonic Wave from the darkness here as Jose is very, very scary, 02:21:54.620 --> 02:21:57.120 but they think that they might have caught him here as the ram comes on through. 02:21:57.120 --> 02:21:59.820 They're looking for Callis, Quinn's gonna find him in that backline, 02:21:59.820 --> 02:22:02.320 but immediately gets exhausted, taken out! 02:22:02.320 --> 02:22:05.520 As Jose gets a kickback on the yike, but it doesn't really do anything at all. 02:22:05.520 --> 02:22:08.720 Equalizer now gonna come on through as CoreJJ going down lower and lower. 02:22:08.720 --> 02:22:12.240 The double snap from Yon is good, but they are out of teammates. 02:22:12.240 --> 02:22:17.540 Triple knockup from Morgan, he flashes over the wall and he is still going to die as TL. 02:22:17.540 --> 02:22:19.140 I don't think you're fighting for this ult. 02:22:19.140 --> 02:22:22.460 Ah, it's just because the Ornn ultimate did not hit Kalis there. 02:22:22.460 --> 02:22:26.140 He didn't get the knockup for Qwid, and I cursed him! 02:22:26.140 --> 02:22:27.640 No! 02:22:27.640 --> 02:22:31.540 You take that knife down and stab them in the back and I'm okay with that! 02:22:31.540 --> 02:22:35.280 Because KC wanted you to find that little bit of fight with... 02:22:35.280 --> 02:22:40.240 Kalis even getting that good flash away from quit there in the midst of us setting up for it and now 02:22:40.240 --> 02:22:45.800 There's a lot of gold that they can pick up on the map. So this gold lead certain dwindle for a team liquid now 02:22:45.800 --> 02:22:47.800 Yeah, and it was only really 02:22:47.960 --> 02:22:52.520 2000 anyway, right like that is not a ridiculous snowball or anything like that 02:22:52.880 --> 02:22:58.160 Let's have a look at how this one was attempted to be set up here as they are so split to yell 02:22:58.160 --> 02:23:00.600 Yeah, so of course it goes for Bruce. Yo, but then yeah 02:23:00.600 --> 02:23:07.360 the Ornn ultimate not getting the knock-up here towards Kalis, means Qwidd gets deleted and the Yasuo immediately out of the fight means 02:23:07.640 --> 02:23:14.040 they're not really going to be able to salvage this 14 liquid, so then they're just trying to run everybody for themselves at this moment 02:23:14.040 --> 02:23:21.080 Yeah, and there you can see just even with the local Morgan trying to play frontline 14 liquid still gets caught out at the end 02:23:21.320 --> 02:23:28.320 So it is something back and a little bit of time ball 4kc and you can see like the main focus 4kc is Kalis 02:23:28.320 --> 02:23:32.320 He's the one with a 2,000 gold lead in the bottom side, three items now in the Ezreal. 02:23:32.320 --> 02:23:37.120 If he is able to play his game, he's in a great spot, and that's why Team Liquid coming into that fight, 02:23:37.120 --> 02:23:40.320 we're trying to focus him down, just couldn't make it happen. 02:23:40.320 --> 02:23:46.320 So we need Calist once more to kind of step up and try and play just on a knife's edge to keep himself safe, 02:23:46.320 --> 02:23:47.520 yet take down Team Liquid. 02:23:47.520 --> 02:23:49.120 Yep, needs to not get kicked. 02:23:49.120 --> 02:23:53.820 That's going to be the main thing, and that is precisely what he managed to do in that last fight. 02:23:53.820 --> 02:23:55.920 We saw how much better that went for him. 02:23:55.920 --> 02:23:58.080 As Jose looking for a bit of an angle here, 02:23:58.080 --> 02:24:01.280 the list very capable of just clearing out these minion waves over and over, 02:24:01.280 --> 02:24:04.720 and that outer turret just seems like a thorn in the side of TL, 02:24:04.720 --> 02:24:06.800 unable to really open up the map, 02:24:06.800 --> 02:24:11.760 and another three minutes until another chance at that infernal soul for Team Liquid. 02:24:11.760 --> 02:24:15.520 And I think it's going to be really important to get themselves on it 24 minutes, 02:24:15.520 --> 02:24:18.240 and so the Baron up and available as well, 02:24:18.240 --> 02:24:20.800 going to be a difficult objective to go for, 02:24:20.800 --> 02:24:23.280 because, I mean, unless Morgan tanks it up, 02:24:23.280 --> 02:24:28.280 It's a little bit difficult for both teams to tank that particular objective this early in the game. 02:24:28.280 --> 02:24:33.280 Yeah, Morgan's starting to upgrade people's Ornn items as well, hand out the extra value there, 02:24:33.280 --> 02:24:41.280 just in time for the big objectives, and Team Liquid taking the other side of the map right now, wrapping around. 02:24:42.280 --> 02:24:48.280 Alright, if you have a Pantheon Ultimate ready again, so you have to be careful about overextending inside lanes. 02:24:48.280 --> 02:24:52.280 Kanna rightfully pulls back while the rest of the team is getting Baron vision. 02:24:52.280 --> 02:24:54.280 How could the MandaVision that is there for Team Liquid? 02:24:54.280 --> 02:24:55.280 The Observer's just highlighted it. 02:24:55.280 --> 02:24:57.280 They kind of know exactly where everything is. 02:24:57.280 --> 02:25:00.280 If they walk through the enemy, either on jungle, on KC side, but... 02:25:00.280 --> 02:25:01.280 they forced away here. 02:25:01.280 --> 02:25:02.280 Yep. 02:25:02.280 --> 02:25:03.280 Gwyd. 02:25:03.280 --> 02:25:04.280 In range of Jose. 02:25:04.280 --> 02:25:05.280 That is going to be the main thing here. 02:25:05.280 --> 02:25:08.280 Any time he gets that DragonRage kick option is now. 02:25:08.280 --> 02:25:10.280 We've got Morgan making his way in as well. 02:25:10.280 --> 02:25:11.280 Jose getting himself out. 02:25:11.280 --> 02:25:16.280 The wall is avoided by TL quite nicely in Yon getting some alone time with the turret. 02:25:16.280 --> 02:25:18.280 That is going to be a big deal. 02:25:18.280 --> 02:25:19.280 They desperately want to grab that. 02:25:19.280 --> 02:25:21.280 Only one plate left remaining here. 02:25:21.280 --> 02:25:24.860 possibly caught out does searingly charges way out but has to take the red carpet 02:25:24.860 --> 02:25:29.040 as Canada lays that one down no flash available here for this on and he has to 02:25:29.040 --> 02:25:32.440 try and turn and make something happen it's just going to be an arcane ship 02:25:32.440 --> 02:25:35.560 forward Canada's the one that locks down the kill in the end that is kill score 02:25:35.560 --> 02:25:41.320 even doubt tails gold lead down to 600 this game is anyone's right now 02:25:41.320 --> 02:25:44.840 yeah but what more can Casey get you can already see immediately kind of moves 02:25:44.840 --> 02:25:47.640 down towards the bottom side they want to try and get some of the standing gold 02:25:47.640 --> 02:25:53.780 Quaid pushes out top so there isn't an option for two of the turrets, but still as you say like this is getting 02:25:54.220 --> 02:25:58.280 Incredibly close now. It's just a small few mistakes from Team Liquid starting to cost them 02:25:58.620 --> 02:26:04.060 Yeah, really good pick right there turning on Morgan is he's trying to rotate over to the rest of the team 02:26:04.700 --> 02:26:11.620 They see collecting more and more gold making more and more nervous caught up also level 16 here with an arm guard 02:26:11.620 --> 02:26:18.540 He is very scary making a lot of money as well with that first strike as we can see moving to about 1.4k ahead 02:26:18.540 --> 02:26:22.020 Just himself obviously Morgan can have a lot of value just in general 02:26:22.460 --> 02:26:27.060 But this rumble needs money to be effective and Canada definitely has it at this point in time 02:26:27.380 --> 02:26:29.800 Galista parking himself in this mid lane once again 02:26:29.800 --> 02:26:35.760 And it's still just frustrating for TL to get any sort of damage onto that out of turret back out onto the map 02:26:35.760 --> 02:26:38.020 Though is more 50 seconds until dragon though 02:26:38.020 --> 02:26:42.260 You can see they're trying to put Yahoo in that topside so then he can hit that level 16 02:26:42.400 --> 02:26:48.220 Just barely away from us and if you could get that before this next dragon that could be huge for KC 02:26:48.220 --> 02:26:52.860 As already you're starting to see them push in mid. They want to set up for vision control around the area 02:26:53.180 --> 02:26:55.380 Well, that is going to be a nice little 02:26:55.780 --> 02:27:01.380 Rebottle to avoid a bit of the damage. Partridge and Jose were there. That was a risky arcane shift forward 02:27:01.380 --> 02:27:05.260 Did have Yaik waiting in the wings, but there is little vision for KC in the dragon area 02:27:05.260 --> 02:27:10.020 Yeah, teleport in from Morgan. He does not want to risk this, wants to make sure that he's there for the setup. 02:27:10.540 --> 02:27:17.140 15 seconds to go as yeah, who's going to move in as well. Pretty dark as KC tried to get themselves through as that is going to be the dash cannon for it. 02:27:17.140 --> 02:27:23.060 Equalizer fantastic from Kanna with limited vision and now the cataclysm comes in with that on call. Only onto one. 02:27:23.060 --> 02:27:32.660 The kickback is there as Yike is going to be taken off first. Core JJ just barely surviving and now he can actually get himself back towards this fight after a reset. 02:27:32.660 --> 02:27:38.620 The dragon has now spawned, but I don't think it's going to be at the forefront of anyone's mind just yet with yike going down 02:27:39.660 --> 02:27:42.220 Incredibly close attempt there from KC 02:27:42.220 --> 02:27:47.140 They went for it because they saw a quid on the bottom wave, but they just barely can't finish the kill 02:27:47.140 --> 02:27:52.620 But there they have no jungler so KC kind of have to hard force this or it's sold for team liquid 02:27:52.620 --> 02:27:53.700 They're trying to buy time 02:27:53.700 --> 02:28:00.980 But how do you engage a use so much to try and get Gorge AJ yep still 15 seconds on the job in here as well 02:28:00.980 --> 02:28:07.300 And KC four versus five they know that they need to try and deny this as Morgan's moving in 02:28:07.700 --> 02:28:09.380 Doesn't have the on horn at the moment 02:28:09.380 --> 02:28:13.480 But they realize they're just not going to be able to win so they have to give up infernal soul 02:28:13.740 --> 02:28:16.540 To TL and they moved back into the driver's seat 02:28:17.740 --> 02:28:23.460 Infernal soul more burst damage here to team liquid with their combos 02:28:23.460 --> 02:28:29.020 I mean honestly that was just a slight bit overreach there into the into the jungle 02:28:29.020 --> 02:28:37.020 They really wanted to take advantage while TL were split, but Jose had some good peel for Gordjage as well with the kick over into the blue-buck pick. 02:28:37.020 --> 02:28:42.020 That's Team Liquid, the master current priceless moment now, with that Inferno solo picked up, which makes things so much more difficult. 02:28:42.020 --> 02:28:50.020 Yon's poke going to be so obnoxious to deal with, and KC kind of have to go back to the drawing board to figure out how they're going to try and play this, 02:28:50.020 --> 02:28:54.020 because things also went wrong for Team Liquid in that fight, but Morgan not connecting with the ultimate. 02:28:54.020 --> 02:29:00.820 It was a lot that actually went well for KC, but that's not always going to be the case, especially as he started to teeter into these later levels. 02:29:00.820 --> 02:29:04.520 Yep, as now Yehue could be in a little bit of trouble, but Morgan doesn't quite find the knock-up. 02:29:04.520 --> 02:29:10.220 Seondra going to get attacked by Yehue, equalizer goes down, and that is going to be enough to deal with this Mal. 02:29:10.220 --> 02:29:13.020 Yehue goes golden though to keep him alive, but look at these health bars! 02:29:13.020 --> 02:29:18.020 This infernal soul is doing work as Jose is going to be able to follow Kanara out of that one. 02:29:18.020 --> 02:29:23.820 He's still legendary, but he's not in the fight anymore, as now Quit dashing after Yehue will be able to help Morgan grab that kill. 02:29:23.820 --> 02:29:26.460 Tempuzio and Kalis find themselves lost men standing. 02:29:26.460 --> 02:29:28.540 There's no focus. That was a scramble. 02:29:28.540 --> 02:29:29.900 Everybody for themselves. 02:29:29.900 --> 02:29:32.260 Oh, never mind. Yeah, who gets himself out somehow. 02:29:32.260 --> 02:29:36.220 Everybody was fighting their own brawls on different sides of this one. 02:29:36.220 --> 02:29:38.060 It was absolute bad luck, my talk. 02:29:38.060 --> 02:29:39.940 This was gonna go down, but all those adioto 02:29:39.940 --> 02:29:41.220 went the opposite direction. 02:29:41.220 --> 02:29:44.380 Team Liquid though, still with the bigger health bars, 02:29:44.380 --> 02:29:46.700 are gonna get this mid lane turn and win. 02:29:46.700 --> 02:29:49.180 Get that little bit more off the back of us. 02:29:50.100 --> 02:29:53.300 Okay, so we knew it was 11 and 11 to begin things off. 02:29:53.300 --> 02:29:58.460 That was only a one kill advantage here for TL. Things still exceptionally close. Let's check it out again. 02:29:58.760 --> 02:30:04.060 Yeah, because you can see as it all starts off, like, you end up getting the pick on towards the on which is all that KC are focused on here. 02:30:04.060 --> 02:30:05.980 As they need to go in with Kana's ultimate as well. 02:30:06.260 --> 02:30:10.380 The ultimate Morgan ends up connecting onto Yehru and Kana, which sets up then for Qwid to go in. 02:30:10.540 --> 02:30:12.900 But watch now as this goes through, because Buseo hits onto Qwid. 02:30:13.100 --> 02:30:16.780 Qwid, JJ flashes onto Kalist. As then Jose Diodo turns onto Kana. 02:30:16.940 --> 02:30:20.880 So Kalist manages to stay up in the middle of this fight, who then kills Qwid. 02:30:20.880 --> 02:30:24.560 Jose Teodos finishes off the low health con on the bottom side 02:30:24.560 --> 02:30:27.520 and this is where it starts to get a little bit begginer, like as Kobe was saying 02:30:27.520 --> 02:30:29.840 there's so many different scraps, there's no real focus 02:30:29.840 --> 02:30:31.920 so there's low health bars all over the place. 02:30:31.920 --> 02:30:34.240 Everyone just ran in separate directions. 02:30:34.240 --> 02:30:36.800 It was crazy, it was like the beginning of the Hunger Games or something like that. 02:30:36.800 --> 02:30:38.320 They were just sprinting out of the house. 02:30:39.280 --> 02:30:42.320 But in the end, it works out relatively well for TL. 02:30:42.960 --> 02:30:44.720 Honestly, this is still anyone's game. 02:30:44.720 --> 02:30:47.360 Even with an Infernal Soul, we've seen a Soul Lose. 02:30:47.360 --> 02:30:48.800 I don't believe it was TL. 02:30:48.800 --> 02:30:55.800 So far in MSI, so KC, still some options, especially with a composition like this. 02:30:55.800 --> 02:31:00.800 So much of KC's upfront damage though is like, hey, we pick one target, burst them down with this hotpot combo. 02:31:00.800 --> 02:31:05.800 You now have the Seekers Armguard on you, you have GA on Jose Diodo. 02:31:05.800 --> 02:31:12.800 And I don't think you're getting through Morgan quite as easily as you'd expect, so really the targets for this combo are starting to disappear. 02:31:12.800 --> 02:31:16.800 So I think this is where it starts to get a little difficult now for KC with the comp. 02:31:16.800 --> 02:31:21.020 thing for me though was that Buzio did get a really good ultimate he got the 02:31:21.020 --> 02:31:23.920 Yasuo at least you know I thought it was gonna be very hard for him to be able 02:31:23.920 --> 02:31:28.280 to get a good ultimate off with wind walls with no reflect going around but 02:31:28.280 --> 02:31:33.360 they've still been able to find very good effectiveness there yep good angles 02:31:33.360 --> 02:31:37.160 is now TL looking for an option towards the Baron or at least wanting to get some 02:31:37.160 --> 02:31:41.600 vision as there is a on slingshotting himself towards the top side of the map 02:31:41.600 --> 02:31:44.600 I'm just gonna usher that minion wave over as well. 02:31:44.600 --> 02:31:46.600 It's now KC looking for a fight. 02:31:46.600 --> 02:31:49.600 There's another Cataclysm on to Yon taking a lot of damage here. 02:31:49.600 --> 02:31:52.600 Does manage to go golden, as Ganna does exactly the same thing. 02:31:52.600 --> 02:31:54.600 Gellis gets turned on by Jose. 02:31:54.600 --> 02:31:57.600 There is a knockup and Quinn is able to take him down. 02:31:57.600 --> 02:31:58.600 Yon's still alive somehow. 02:31:58.600 --> 02:31:59.600 It's Yike. 02:31:59.600 --> 02:32:01.600 He's gonna get taken down to the GA. 02:32:01.600 --> 02:32:03.600 And he should be removed as well as Morgan. 02:32:03.600 --> 02:32:05.600 Gigantic help bar. 02:32:05.600 --> 02:32:08.600 Thanks to that new belt that he just purchased. 02:32:08.600 --> 02:32:10.600 And it's a double for Jose. 02:32:10.600 --> 02:32:14.220 My God, this guy's Lee Sin was already famous. 02:32:14.220 --> 02:32:16.500 It's going to be more famous after this one. 02:32:16.500 --> 02:32:17.740 And he deserves it. 02:32:17.740 --> 02:32:19.540 OK, they're going to be able to pick up the Baron 02:32:19.540 --> 02:32:21.420 while we do this replay. 02:32:21.420 --> 02:32:22.580 But it's crazy. 02:32:22.580 --> 02:32:24.500 Again, look, Anivia on your minimap 02:32:24.500 --> 02:32:26.460 is walking from base right now. 02:32:26.460 --> 02:32:28.380 And KC decides to full send. 02:32:28.380 --> 02:32:30.820 But Morgan is also running to the spike, too. 02:32:30.820 --> 02:32:32.260 Trying to get there immediately. 02:32:32.260 --> 02:32:35.180 And there you see the ultimate through two. 02:32:35.180 --> 02:32:37.540 Yeah, and then it's just the follow up from Team Nickvid. 02:32:37.540 --> 02:32:39.380 The wall doesn't quite get the separation. 02:32:39.380 --> 02:32:45.660 the morgan's able to follow across the GA is just jumped on by team liquid and I think this fight just 02:32:46.260 --> 02:32:48.260 Everything in the kitchen sink used towards the arm 02:32:48.260 --> 02:32:51.260 But we just highlight like the seekers arm guard able to buy so much time 02:32:51.260 --> 02:32:55.500 And if you can't finish off that play because that's the overextend to try and help out yike 02:32:55.660 --> 02:32:57.180 And it's just not it's yeah 02:32:57.180 --> 02:33:00.660 I just loved watching Dagger while you were taking us through the replay 02:33:00.780 --> 02:33:04.780 Dagger's just pointing at the minimax of sort of losing his mind off to the side 02:33:04.780 --> 02:33:12.660 But the thing is like this isn't the KC we saw domestically like they wouldn't like panic engage or over extend 02:33:12.660 --> 02:33:18.240 They play slow and play for like clean fights. This isn't hasn't been what we've seen this series at all 02:33:18.500 --> 02:33:23.180 Well, they're going in quick getting a lot of value out of that wind wall here as they look to dive on top of the arse 02:33:23.180 --> 02:33:29.880 Oh, yes three with the ulti kills one with it holds up the other two as Yike is traded for the least and gets out of 02:33:29.880 --> 02:33:33.320 the way of the encore, but great stopwatch there from Yahoo! 02:33:33.320 --> 02:33:38.320 Ah, he's still dead. He's still exceptionally dead. Turned into a fried egg in the mid lane 02:33:38.320 --> 02:33:45.720 and Kanna just has to turn tail and run. 30 seconds on the elder and most of KC are dead. 02:33:45.720 --> 02:33:52.240 At the end of the day, it's Jose de Odo Lisen, man. 12 and zero Lisen! 02:33:52.240 --> 02:33:58.480 He's 18 out of 20 kill participation and over 50% of the kills are his and he's playing 02:33:58.480 --> 02:34:04.120 Lee Sin, it's 35 minutes into the game and TL think that that is a good time to finish 02:34:04.120 --> 02:34:08.600 this one off. The inhibitor gonna go down first, Jose is going to land on the callus 02:34:08.600 --> 02:34:13.440 and take most of his health bar. Oh man, this looks like a solo queue game. Like I'm used 02:34:13.440 --> 02:34:16.200 to Lee Sin doing this much damage, not in pro play. 02:34:16.200 --> 02:34:21.280 I love that he keeps getting the player cam for Jose, cause he's just laughing and smiling. 02:34:21.280 --> 02:34:22.840 Best day ever. 02:34:22.840 --> 02:34:29.440 of all 10 players he is the one having the most fun for sure. It's not close. 02:34:29.440 --> 02:34:32.940 I mean I saw Spooks and Spawn they were also having a really good time. 02:34:32.940 --> 02:34:39.160 Okay so Elder the great equalizer guys. Is this going to be good equalizer? I don't think 02:34:39.160 --> 02:34:43.920 it is because Kanna is already dead. Teo looking for the turn. Yon is like well I'm just going 02:34:43.920 --> 02:34:47.080 to kill this dragon. If you guys are going to take down the enemy top laner you've got 02:34:47.080 --> 02:34:55.920 This one for the forest yon is going to touch. Sorry. Kordj. J. Dives forward. They take down. Yeah, who the Ram is more of a celebration here from Lord Morgan is Casey 02:34:56.080 --> 02:35:04.080 Will just be escorted back to their face and now TL they have a big old buff to work with as they look to just march their way 02:35:04.080 --> 02:35:06.080 Into this mid lane 02:35:06.080 --> 02:35:12.240 Jose Dioto is two kills away from the most kills ever in an MSI game, so he can get Killis 02:35:12.240 --> 02:35:13.240 de Buccio. 02:35:13.240 --> 02:35:17.200 I see three kills right there! 02:35:17.200 --> 02:35:20.200 Four junglers, I'm pretty shocked, because I think that number might be higher if we 02:35:20.200 --> 02:35:24.880 include 80 carries in the equation, but now we've got these Nexus turrets under fire, 02:35:24.880 --> 02:35:29.080 Qwyd looking for an angle towards Yike, as he is so close to execution threshold. 02:35:29.080 --> 02:35:33.440 CoreJJ wanting to try and take them down as Jose is in that phase just trying to get 02:35:33.440 --> 02:35:35.240 a few extra kills. 02:35:35.240 --> 02:35:43.120 He's got the rebuttal to make sure they can do nothing about this is TL moving to match point over KC here at the MSI plans 02:35:45.680 --> 02:35:47.680 Jose Dale don't Lee sin 02:35:48.400 --> 02:35:51.760 Honestly, he also saved me. I think I would have they would have taken me to prison if they 02:35:56.360 --> 02:36:02.280 Wow these these fights are also just so chaotic such a scramble at these TL players by the way 02:36:02.280 --> 02:36:06.080 Like the vibes could not be better as they walk off stage 02:36:06.080 --> 02:36:12.580 This is gonna be a tough one for KC to turn around from and now we can talk to the gentleman over there on the desk 02:36:12.840 --> 02:36:14.840 About how this one's going. Drake. Is you okay? 02:36:15.800 --> 02:36:20.960 No enough of that. Join me. Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose 02:36:26.000 --> 02:36:32.120 It's not the first time Europe has embodied this hard by an Argentinian, but it is the first time in the league of watching 02:36:32.120 --> 02:36:42.520 That this has happened. This was the most 1v9 performance in an EU vs NA matchup. I have ever seen. It's crazy. 02:36:42.520 --> 02:36:50.820 I mean, he was almost 5,000 ahead individually while his team is up like 2.5K, right? Like this was an absolutely outstanding performance. 02:36:50.820 --> 02:36:59.820 And he needed every bit of that for his team to win. But I have got to say, KC, where is your preparation in draft? 02:36:59.820 --> 02:37:19.820 When we were seeing this let through and draft, I was saying to Drake as a whole time, well, this is Jose's, by far his best champion, it's completely permanent, he has a 100% win rate on it in NA, no one lets it through because it's free win for TL, surely they have some sort of counter pick, some sort of answer, some sort of strategy, and then they're just like, no, I guess we just don't care. 02:37:19.820 --> 02:37:25.020 And you know, we saw them take a similar risk against T1 when they left Karrie as Bard, 02:37:25.020 --> 02:37:28.180 which domestically has been very consciously banned away. 02:37:28.180 --> 02:37:29.340 100% win rate. 02:37:29.340 --> 02:37:33.140 They do the same here, but I feel like the strategy to deal with it wasn't there. 02:37:33.140 --> 02:37:35.380 They didn't have that ability to shut him down. 02:37:35.380 --> 02:37:37.180 They didn't have picks like the Wrexsei, which they banned. 02:37:37.180 --> 02:37:41.940 The Poppy was banned, and he just ran rampant in this game. 02:37:41.940 --> 02:37:46.140 And guys, I'm so happy that Jose Dioto got to do this, even if I'm really sad. 02:37:46.140 --> 02:37:48.900 But I'm also incredibly pissed off with Casey. 02:37:48.900 --> 02:37:50.620 because it's not hidden information. 02:37:50.620 --> 02:37:53.960 If you look at the numbers, if they've ever watched a single one of your broadcasts, 02:37:53.960 --> 02:37:56.000 if they've ever listened to a single one of your podcasts, 02:37:56.000 --> 02:37:58.060 spoken to anyone who's met Jose personally, 02:37:58.060 --> 02:38:00.160 or just, you know, watched a game of League of Legends, 02:38:00.160 --> 02:38:02.900 you would know that this is a big problem if it goes through. 02:38:02.900 --> 02:38:06.300 And the worst part, the icing on this very shit cake 02:38:06.300 --> 02:38:08.700 is that they started a 2v2 skirmish 02:38:08.700 --> 02:38:11.060 in mid-jungle that started the snowball. 02:38:11.060 --> 02:38:14.660 That was them who started, that was KZ, that was Yaikou, EQ'd in, 02:38:14.660 --> 02:38:16.860 to Elise in, who's so much better! 02:38:16.860 --> 02:38:18.860 With Yosuo closer playing as a... 02:38:18.860 --> 02:38:20.460 Yes, exactly! And there is a world. 02:38:20.460 --> 02:38:24.780 If Yosuo had recalled, if you're up a man in Vantage, where Jose Dioto might have looked foolish, 02:38:24.780 --> 02:38:27.980 that is not this world. That is not this timeline. 02:38:27.980 --> 02:38:30.380 That was awful. 02:38:30.380 --> 02:38:32.860 Honestly, I think even if they just watched the World Cup, 02:38:32.860 --> 02:38:35.740 they would have expected this level of kicks from an Argentinian, 02:38:35.740 --> 02:38:38.460 and bound it away, but, you know, bit of disrespect. 02:38:38.460 --> 02:38:42.460 Has anyone ever seen Messi and Jose in the same room at the same time? 02:38:42.460 --> 02:38:43.900 I haven't. So, there we go. 02:38:43.900 --> 02:38:45.020 Personally, I have not. 02:38:45.020 --> 02:38:57.020 Look, I'm going to be honest, it's hard to be optimistic right now about KC, but I think we do need to talk about it because right now it really feels like TL are running away with this series, no doubt 2-0 up. 02:38:57.020 --> 02:39:12.020 But this game was even less close than the first game, even more dominant, and I'm wondering if KC are just going to fall apart because frankly, this has been far too sloppy, far too inconsistent, I think for any fan, pundit or analyst to feel really confident predicting KC in game 3. 02:39:12.020 --> 02:39:16.020 game three. I mean it's kind of crazy when you even look at the damage at the end. Yeah, 02:39:16.020 --> 02:39:19.300 he wasn't really able to do much in the fights. I did think that Kona had a much better game 02:39:19.300 --> 02:39:24.820 than on the vein. I think that Callis played a pretty darn good Ezreal game, but you can't 02:39:24.820 --> 02:39:28.260 allow someone on the other team to get this far ahead and expect them to be able to make up for 02:39:28.260 --> 02:39:32.420 it. And I feel like Jon had a better performance here on the mel. He was the person I was most 02:39:32.420 --> 02:39:36.660 concerned about because tournaments so far has been a bit rough and you're into Jarvan Rumble 02:39:36.660 --> 02:39:41.060 as in a mobile pick, but a lot of times when he was the focus, able to get that damage out, 02:39:41.060 --> 02:39:46.340 able to buy time for the team and allow them to turn it around, it feels like the preparation. 02:39:46.340 --> 02:39:52.100 We saw it against T1 from TL has been better and they're demonstrating that again here. 02:39:52.100 --> 02:39:54.820 So, Jakos, they're down 2-0, what do they do? 02:39:55.780 --> 02:39:59.060 This is the hard part, right? Because I wish I could tell you there's one player who's been 02:39:59.060 --> 02:40:01.940 a shining light throughout the entire series, but it's just not the case. I think every single 02:40:01.940 --> 02:40:05.940 member of KC has blundered, has fumbled. So, I will say that I believe that the players on this 02:40:05.940 --> 02:40:09.460 team are good enough. I believe all five of them have shown the potential to carry. 02:40:09.460 --> 02:40:18.760 None of them have done it yet, so I won't pick a single lane, but I will say that one player on KC has to rise to the challenge, because thus far, none of them have. 02:40:19.460 --> 02:40:27.960 I agree. I mean, it's step up right now, or go home, 0-3, the TL, game 3, coming at you right after the break. 02:40:30.160 --> 02:40:30.960 I'm gonna fight. 02:40:30.960 --> 02:40:31.460 I have a BG. 02:40:31.460 --> 02:40:32.460 You can tell the opponent's where I am. 02:40:32.460 --> 02:40:32.960 I have a BG. 02:40:32.960 --> 02:40:33.460 I have a BG. 02:40:33.460 --> 02:40:33.960 I have a BG behind. 02:40:33.960 --> 02:40:34.460 I'm behind the BG. 02:40:34.460 --> 02:40:34.960 I'm behind the BG. 02:40:34.960 --> 02:40:35.960 I'm coming. 02:40:35.960 --> 02:40:36.460 I'm coming. 02:40:36.460 --> 02:40:36.960 I have a BG. 02:40:36.960 --> 02:40:37.460 That's right. 02:40:37.460 --> 02:40:37.960 Oh, I have a BG. 02:40:37.960 --> 02:40:38.460 I have a BG. 02:40:38.460 --> 02:40:40.460 I'm coming, I'm coming! 02:40:40.460 --> 02:40:45.460 I'm coming Azura, Azura no flash, Azura no flash, Azura no flash! 02:40:45.460 --> 02:40:46.960 At first, coming, coming. 02:40:46.960 --> 02:40:48.460 Rumble flash as well. 02:40:48.960 --> 02:40:49.960 That was soft. 02:40:49.960 --> 02:40:50.960 I'm moving. 02:40:53.460 --> 02:40:54.460 Nice shot. 02:40:54.460 --> 02:40:55.460 Wait. 02:40:55.460 --> 02:40:56.460 Huh? 02:40:56.460 --> 02:41:01.960 TL moving to match point over KC here at the MSI Plans. 02:41:08.460 --> 02:41:32.980 The human body was built to move, not trapped at a desk in one singular posture for 12 hours 02:41:32.980 --> 02:41:43.920 a day.

Will China test every limit imaginable? Will South Korea turn every 02:43:12.500 --> 02:43:18.380 game into a macro masterclass? Will EU and NA actually play in the correct lengths? The 02:43:18.380 --> 02:43:24.880 final event of the year is not to be missed. Esports Nation's Cup 2026. See you in Riyadh. 02:44:05.960 --> 02:44:33.120 I told you I was done with basic browsers 02:44:33.120 --> 02:44:55.840 You're setup wants opera GX and you're holding it back upgrade to the gaming browser download 02:44:55.840 --> 02:44:57.840 with Opera GX. 02:45:02.840 --> 02:45:04.840 Red Bull gives you wings. 02:45:05.840 --> 02:45:08.840 With my new phone company, Menace Mobile, 02:45:08.840 --> 02:45:10.840 our pricing structure will be so confusing. 02:45:10.840 --> 02:45:13.840 It could already be described as evil. 02:45:13.840 --> 02:45:14.840 That isn't evil. 02:45:14.840 --> 02:45:16.840 It's just typical phone company stuff. 02:45:16.840 --> 02:45:18.840 Besides, people just switch to Verizon. 02:45:18.840 --> 02:45:22.840 With their new simplicity plan, there's just one plan, and one price. 02:45:22.840 --> 02:45:24.840 What now?

MSI 2026. We are hot-dropping straight into champion 02:48:36.840 --> 02:48:44.040 select here as we get into game number three. As KC, try to find it. Try to figure it out 02:48:44.040 --> 02:48:48.920 to bring themselves back into this series and possibly get themselves a reverse sweep. 02:48:48.920 --> 02:48:52.260 but their backs could not be closer to the wall. 02:48:52.260 --> 02:48:55.740 Well, luckily for them, Lee Sin, 02:48:55.740 --> 02:48:56.900 or they cannot play it again. 02:48:56.900 --> 02:48:58.260 And they're still banding the Akali, 02:48:58.260 --> 02:48:59.900 that is a good band against Quid. 02:48:59.900 --> 02:49:00.980 All right, there we go. 02:49:00.980 --> 02:49:02.380 Some homework has been done. 02:49:02.380 --> 02:49:03.840 Some, not all of it. 02:49:04.900 --> 02:49:06.660 The Bard also gonna be taken away here. 02:49:06.660 --> 02:49:10.180 And first pick, now available for TL. 02:49:10.180 --> 02:49:12.700 See what Morgan is going to be taking away. 02:49:12.700 --> 02:49:15.500 I always just think it should be Renekton. 02:49:15.500 --> 02:49:17.780 For that's because all I care about is Morgan 02:49:17.780 --> 02:49:25.780 playing his favorite champion. They did ban the Jays. Chances instead, Nautilus is going to be locked in for CoreJJ. 02:49:25.780 --> 02:49:30.780 Yeah, because you're kind of hitting on towards like the comforts that have been taken away from Team Liquid, 02:49:30.780 --> 02:49:36.780 but a lot of those comforts are gone for KC as well, right? Like the top lane, the Rumble been taken away, 02:49:36.780 --> 02:49:41.780 the Vayne was even a big pick for Conor domestically, the Lucio's champion pool has been whittled down as well, 02:49:41.780 --> 02:49:45.580 down as well. So I am curious what the plan is going to be here. 02:49:46.380 --> 02:49:50.180 As Jin was not the high priority that I was expecting. 02:49:50.480 --> 02:49:52.580 I was thinking about Jin, but not positively. 02:49:53.180 --> 02:49:56.980 I haven't been a fan of Varus after the nerfs. 02:49:56.980 --> 02:49:59.580 Yes, and he's still the team still are. 02:50:00.280 --> 02:50:02.680 So they're going to take it away and yarn himself. 02:50:03.180 --> 02:50:05.080 Has been a good game on it, right? 02:50:05.080 --> 02:50:07.580 They played the only lethality Varus that we've had so far 02:50:07.580 --> 02:50:10.280 this season, this tournament and did pick up a victory. 02:50:10.280 --> 02:50:13.280 And Ziak is not allowed to play the bird. 02:50:13.280 --> 02:50:20.280 And yeah, maybe it's just a Zinz-L here. 02:50:20.280 --> 02:50:23.280 And you're trying to look for Push-On-Bottling into Alice? 02:50:23.280 --> 02:50:24.280 It was a Zinz-L? 02:50:24.280 --> 02:50:26.280 Oh, okay. 02:50:26.280 --> 02:50:29.280 What about an immediate Silas pick up? 02:50:29.280 --> 02:50:32.280 I mean, honestly, the Silas buffs I thought were really crazy. 02:50:32.280 --> 02:50:36.280 I've been waiting for Silas to come out either in mid or in jungle. 02:50:36.280 --> 02:50:39.280 I mean, Silas into Alistar is just so good, yeah. 02:50:39.280 --> 02:50:45.420 Alistair though was one of Lucio's pick from the first place that he was exceptionally good on and was able to make a lot of plays on the 02:50:45.420 --> 02:50:50.280 Rooms so trying to find an answer into the Nautilus I think makes sense as well because you hook him with the Nautilus 02:50:50.280 --> 02:50:55.800 You get the pulverize, Jynch roped and there is your pick. There it is. Morgan gets his 02:50:56.120 --> 02:51:01.160 Crocodile and I am a very happy man. Senna is gonna be hovered here for quid for the moment 02:51:01.160 --> 02:51:02.240 They will lock that one down 02:51:02.240 --> 02:51:05.200 So Senna not as powerful as she was the patch prior 02:51:05.200 --> 02:51:10.000 It is still able to get work done in the later stages with a whole bunch of extra range 02:51:10.440 --> 02:51:17.360 Yeah, and honestly should still be able to stack souls off Alistar pretty nicely with the double melee support matchup for bottom lane 02:51:17.360 --> 02:51:21.480 So even though the kill drop percent chance for the souls was there 02:51:22.160 --> 02:51:24.680 Still can farm them pretty nicely off melee champs 02:51:25.320 --> 02:51:31.280 And scion was tapped on this patch, but didn't really do anything still we have seen renekton's have a better time in this matchup 02:51:31.400 --> 02:51:33.400 So far this tournament 02:51:33.400 --> 02:51:37.400 Kind of still going to go towards that one trying to nullify the crocodile out of Morgan 02:51:37.400 --> 02:51:42.940 I think Doran was the one that tried to do this against Morgan and really failed to do so even though they did win the game 02:51:42.940 --> 02:51:44.940 Morgan did solo kill 02:51:45.000 --> 02:51:50.820 Look good. Morgan has really really been on fire this tournament and at the end of our playoffs as well 02:51:50.820 --> 02:51:57.340 So definitely worse the confidence there now. Let's look towards mid and jungle though 02:51:57.340 --> 02:52:03.580 So, as we're trying to get down to it, I always think that Trundle is just so OP versus Asylum, 02:52:03.580 --> 02:52:07.340 and not only because they ult, but also the pillar is so good. 02:52:07.340 --> 02:52:08.340 Yeah. 02:52:08.340 --> 02:52:09.340 Okay, there you go. 02:52:09.340 --> 02:52:10.340 Protection ban to Trundle. 02:52:10.340 --> 02:52:11.340 That is a very good ban. 02:52:11.340 --> 02:52:14.340 I think if they had a block in Trundle's Silas, that would have been like, well, we can go 02:52:14.340 --> 02:52:15.340 home. 02:52:15.340 --> 02:52:16.340 Pack it up. 02:52:16.340 --> 02:52:18.740 But they are going to be out of ban away that Trundle. 02:52:18.740 --> 02:52:21.340 And then, since Trundle has banned, you mentioned Zin. 02:52:21.340 --> 02:52:26.740 Zin is now a higher priority since Trundle has banned away there, too, so maybe we raise 02:52:26.740 --> 02:52:30.820 the priority here for jungle. We also have seen things like skarner in the lec in that 02:52:30.820 --> 02:52:35.700 that have been working very well especially just you want this 10 front line for kc and 02:52:35.700 --> 02:52:38.900 then you've always got the option to try and leave sas counter pick for you who has this 02:52:38.900 --> 02:52:44.580 goes on. Maybe. Damn so many tanks already with the siren and the alistar. How much beef 02:52:44.580 --> 02:52:52.100 is too much beef? I mean you got a cow so there's a lot of games. Um yeah they can probably 02:52:52.100 --> 02:52:55.220 play whatever they like and the other thing that is like the counter matchup that we've 02:52:55.220 --> 02:53:01.260 we've seen it as in Zahal of old is the Kha'zix that we've seen already Hobbiton considered. 02:53:01.260 --> 02:53:03.420 That's not a tank, that does the damage. 02:53:03.420 --> 02:53:07.460 The Silas is going to be banned away as well, it's KC, they're not allowed to listen to 02:53:07.460 --> 02:53:12.580 the broadcast so that is just their choice and they're going to deny me what I wanted. 02:53:12.580 --> 02:53:18.220 Okay, one last ban hit to come through here from TL, similar to they focus on Yehut again 02:53:18.220 --> 02:53:20.500 or whether it is going to be something else. 02:53:20.500 --> 02:53:23.460 There's going to be a lot of 02:53:23.460 --> 02:53:25.140 bans gone for the mid lane. 02:53:25.140 --> 02:53:26.820 A lot of champions gone for the mid lane. 02:53:26.820 --> 02:53:28.180 So I'm curious what the plan is. 02:53:28.180 --> 02:53:29.660 I mean, we did get buffed and I've 02:53:29.660 --> 02:53:31.300 kind of been a little surprised that we haven't seen 02:53:31.300 --> 02:53:32.140 more of them. 02:53:32.140 --> 02:53:33.900 I mean, that'll definitely be something for like cream 02:53:33.900 --> 02:53:35.220 for top of these sports later on. 02:53:35.220 --> 02:53:37.260 But I thought teams might try and look 02:53:37.260 --> 02:53:39.100 towards it just going to be this Leia instead. 02:53:39.100 --> 02:53:40.140 All right. 02:53:40.140 --> 02:53:43.660 The making Morgan's life a little bit more difficult 02:53:43.660 --> 02:53:46.580 can certainly get some work done into the Nautilus there as well. 02:53:46.580 --> 02:53:50.060 So they need point and click CC to go with her to Leia 02:53:50.060 --> 02:53:52.820 to set it up for jungle. 02:53:52.820 --> 02:53:56.180 But Pantheon was already played. 02:53:56.180 --> 02:53:58.540 So fine, anybody? 02:53:58.540 --> 02:54:02.940 We're banned already, so, well, it's kind of difficult there. 02:54:02.940 --> 02:54:05.860 It's a quite a little nut for the KC side, 02:54:05.860 --> 02:54:08.900 but I like it for the TL side here to go for a Shyvana angle 02:54:08.900 --> 02:54:11.260 when you do already have a lot of lane. 02:54:11.260 --> 02:54:13.500 This is a very similar carry jungle. 02:54:13.500 --> 02:54:15.700 When you have Senna Nautilus, having carry jungle 02:54:15.700 --> 02:54:17.780 is really, really powerful. 02:54:17.780 --> 02:54:19.580 Nautilus is going to give you the CC setup 02:54:19.580 --> 02:54:23.260 instead of obviously going to allow the Olaf to stay in the middle of the fight. 02:54:23.260 --> 02:54:25.660 Two damage for the Alistar as well, I think it can help. 02:54:25.660 --> 02:54:30.820 Yeah, you can have viewed all the CC of all Thalia, Alistar, and Sion, so... 02:54:30.820 --> 02:54:35.260 I was wondering if we might actually get the Rex on the other side of the map, I think it's been let through, but... 02:54:35.820 --> 02:54:40.860 Could quick get his hands on a very much-a-comper picked for him, but maybe the Aryan said yeah? 02:54:40.860 --> 02:54:44.740 Just going to be in a very physical composition if that's locked in the Yone. 02:54:44.740 --> 02:54:49.420 But, I mean, Yone does do mixed damage, so I guess there's that. The Aryan going to be the choice instead. 02:54:49.420 --> 02:54:54.820 I mean, Jose just dropped a low. Is that like a 13 bomb 14 kill something on them? So like, you know what? 02:54:55.060 --> 02:54:58.020 You're gonna be the whole lot. You're gonna be the main carry here, buddy. Oh 02:54:59.020 --> 02:55:04.260 Should have played Lulamin or something weird like that. You know, I just try an old man Janna mid. Let's go 02:55:04.780 --> 02:55:09.260 As that is going to be the Keanu locked in for yike damage coming out of the jungle 02:55:09.260 --> 02:55:11.260 It's what we were kind of looking for 02:55:11.300 --> 02:55:17.940 In this one just in general and Keanu to leader has been a pretty powerful combo as well 02:55:17.940 --> 02:55:23.180 So, my only worry for the Kiana is like team Liquid should have pushed in their top side 02:55:23.180 --> 02:55:26.820 and if they can start to get Olaf into the enemy jungle, I think that's where Kiana will 02:55:26.820 --> 02:55:28.940 really start to struggle in that 1v1 against the Olaf. 02:55:28.940 --> 02:55:32.940 So, I think if Team Liquid could try and play Redhose and Yoda was the hat in the past, 02:55:32.940 --> 02:55:37.380 I think it was a very big win condition for them, whereas for KC, I think it is trying 02:55:37.380 --> 02:55:41.340 to play for as you say, like that big wombo combo through that mid jungle and hoping that 02:55:41.340 --> 02:55:45.780 Yike can have some of those combos we saw against T1 but actually get the win this time 02:55:45.780 --> 02:55:46.980 rather than a bottom of the flat. 02:55:46.980 --> 02:55:50.980 I do love the around the world Keanu Alps when you have a Taliyah wall 02:55:50.980 --> 02:55:56.420 connecting the other sides of Summoner's Rift, you just get the longest Keanu alt of all time. 02:55:57.300 --> 02:56:01.460 That could be an option. I am very worried for the Keanu in the 1v1 matchup, 02:56:01.460 --> 02:56:05.220 because I feel like after 15 minutes you will just get run down by the ult. 02:56:05.220 --> 02:56:08.420 At least Keanu can utilize grass really well. 02:56:08.420 --> 02:56:10.100 That's right, you can go into tricky. 02:56:10.900 --> 02:56:15.780 You definitely don't want to fist fight the Olaf, but you have to use trickery for your advantage. 02:56:15.780 --> 02:56:18.440 trickery with the grass and then go for burst damage. 02:56:19.480 --> 02:56:23.920 Still, I do feel like these compositions a lot more evenly matched 02:56:24.080 --> 02:56:29.280 and not as weird as far as the matchups are concerned in the last couple of games. 02:56:29.520 --> 02:56:33.120 And with how Casey like to play, which is a lot of slow and steady, 02:56:33.120 --> 02:56:35.780 or at least that's what I heard, slow and steady gameplay 02:56:36.080 --> 02:56:38.480 that might be able to help them out here. 02:56:38.480 --> 02:56:41.880 And we'll see whether they can get us to a fourth game 02:56:41.880 --> 02:56:44.280 for the first time this tournament. 02:56:44.280 --> 02:56:51.280 When we have seen Busey on the Salister, it has been much more about getting active in the early stages, very similar to what we saw on things like the Camille. 02:56:51.280 --> 02:56:55.280 So maybe less slow and steady for Casey in this one, but we'll have to see how this one pans out. 02:56:55.280 --> 02:57:00.280 And speaking of getting active early, Olaf and Nautilus pretty good invade combos. 02:57:00.280 --> 02:57:05.280 So they had a little soft invade up there towards the top side, but right back to Raptor's start for both junglers. 02:57:05.280 --> 02:57:08.280 And they are going to power clear. 02:57:08.280 --> 02:57:11.680 Now, I will say this little bit of information is quite nice. 02:57:11.680 --> 02:57:14.640 They got to leave this ward behind on Krugs too, 02:57:14.640 --> 02:57:16.360 so you can track this Piana. 02:57:18.040 --> 02:57:20.280 All right, Ari in the game, Vendetta is Rift Bounds. 02:57:20.280 --> 02:57:23.040 Next set, ladies and gentlemen, it's arriving on July 31st, 02:57:23.040 --> 02:57:25.880 and it brings together new champions, iconic rivalries, 02:57:25.880 --> 02:57:27.520 and beautiful art from across the room, Tara. 02:57:27.520 --> 02:57:30.360 And here is the new Ari card as well. 02:57:30.360 --> 02:57:31.200 And she's already caught one. 02:57:31.200 --> 02:57:33.560 We've already got up to the next Ari. 02:57:33.560 --> 02:57:34.400 Very cool. 02:57:34.400 --> 02:57:36.360 I heard Ari is pretty popular. 02:57:36.360 --> 02:57:38.360 Yeah, Betty is a lot to see. 02:57:38.360 --> 02:57:39.360 Big fan of the Ari. 02:57:39.360 --> 02:57:40.360 Lots of cards. 02:57:40.360 --> 02:57:42.860 Yeah. 02:57:42.860 --> 02:57:45.200 I would have expected to get more lucks. 02:57:45.200 --> 02:57:46.280 That was what I was thinking. 02:57:46.280 --> 02:57:46.780 True. 02:57:46.780 --> 02:57:49.360 And let's see whether history is going to repeat itself. 02:57:49.360 --> 02:57:53.720 It's a bit of a fight, but I think you guys can talk about this. 02:57:53.720 --> 02:57:54.560 Yeah, first stand. 02:57:54.560 --> 02:57:56.960 I mean, Spawn talked about it to us last night. 02:57:56.960 --> 02:57:57.460 Yeah. 02:57:57.460 --> 02:57:59.200 And he was like, why did everybody 02:57:59.200 --> 02:58:00.520 think that he was going to beat us? 02:58:00.520 --> 02:58:04.720 Like, you know, he, Spawn, beat them at first stand. 02:58:04.720 --> 02:58:12.440 It was 2-1, so it's not going to be exactly a repeat, especially if TL have their way this game. 02:58:12.440 --> 02:58:17.200 Yep, call JJ with the fire. He's like, we beat them last time and that'll happen again. 02:58:17.200 --> 02:58:21.440 Yeah, but in EU memory, we made it to finals. That means we're gooder. 02:58:21.440 --> 02:58:23.920 So that was kind of what we were hoping for. 02:58:23.920 --> 02:58:27.280 The problem is, we don't really get the second chance if we lose this one. 02:58:27.280 --> 02:58:28.240 We're just there to determine which is important. 02:58:28.240 --> 02:58:29.920 I don't think you're going to get to finals again. 02:58:29.920 --> 02:58:30.640 Yeah, yeah. 02:58:30.640 --> 02:58:33.600 But KC, we still hope G2 can beat them. 02:58:33.600 --> 02:58:39.240 No, yeah, I meant the we as in the KCG, G2, certainly with an opportunity to do so. 02:58:39.240 --> 02:58:41.400 We are going to have a look at all three of the lanes here. 02:58:41.400 --> 02:58:47.480 Currently with no big advantages just yet, but you can see Kanna holding his own quite nicely into Morgan in this top lane. 02:58:49.360 --> 02:58:58.200 Morgan got the push. Meanwhile, bot side push here for KC with Felicity and Lucio utilizing the Varus effectively here early on. 02:58:58.200 --> 02:59:04.900 And so it should just be split scuttle crabs for these two junglers opposite clears of course as we said they both start their Raptors 02:59:04.900 --> 02:59:09.880 So you're gonna have the early Raptor respawns for both of them. They're both trying to power farm both trying to get to their level sixes 02:59:10.680 --> 02:59:14.540 So it should be fairly common everything going kind of according to plan here 02:59:14.780 --> 02:59:17.440 You get a little bit extra time of course after your first clear 02:59:17.440 --> 02:59:22.800 So this is like the 90% jungle play you almost always just leave your ward over there Raptors 02:59:22.800 --> 02:59:30.500 and he's going to cross here to over towards Jike back to his Raptors and so we'll both have vision of each other doing our second clears 02:59:31.340 --> 02:59:37.180 And yeah, quick gonna lose a bit of his health bar, but that is all that really results from that last play 02:59:37.860 --> 02:59:40.900 As you're on a car JJ just down here just trying to hold down the fort 02:59:40.900 --> 02:59:44.980 I don't think you're expecting to win this matchup as the Senate Nautilus 02:59:45.540 --> 02:59:49.020 Just with the power of the Varus early has gone lethal tempo 02:59:49.020 --> 02:59:52.260 So we're not going to get the lethality varus and actually really like this 02:59:52.260 --> 02:59:53.820 I do feel like they need 02:59:53.820 --> 02:59:58.620 Consistent damage moving into that late game and let's just hope that Callist can have good positioning so they can actually get those 02:59:58.620 --> 03:00:03.620 Autos down. Yeah, meanwhile look at Olaf. We have a little deviation from Jose. He did he did not go into a 03:00:03.900 --> 03:00:07.740 Standard green clear here. He's taking some extra time on this fashion wave 03:00:07.820 --> 03:00:12.020 And yikes moving towards the topside as well flash out from Morgan already as he slices away 03:00:12.020 --> 03:00:17.260 Doesn't void the damage there from the queue then does back away as we had a look at Jose Dioto in game 2 03:00:17.260 --> 03:00:22.940 Yeah, just breaking records and making records here after that incredibly 03:00:22.940 --> 03:00:25.940 sin performance and we'll see what he can do on the Olaf. 03:00:25.940 --> 03:00:31.480 Yeah, so he had a little bit of extra time there because of the extra time 03:00:31.480 --> 03:00:36.120 spent killing the red on the previous clear, goes back now for Krugs and both 03:00:36.120 --> 03:00:39.580 of them honestly very close to mirrored vision too. 03:00:39.580 --> 03:00:44.760 With the control ward also being left behind here in TL side to see their 03:00:44.760 --> 03:00:50.320 second clear and I actually remember one of our first jungle penta kills was 03:00:50.320 --> 03:00:54.620 actually on an Olaf. Can't quite remember who it was that picked it up. 03:00:54.620 --> 03:01:00.380 It was probably someone like Peanut or Canyon because generally most of our 03:01:00.380 --> 03:01:04.480 records are but I can't remember off the top of my head but a possible 03:01:04.480 --> 03:01:08.280 opportunity for Jose to do the same thing. Yeah especially as this game goes 03:01:08.280 --> 03:01:11.800 later like three items on towards the Olaf plus having the sender to support 03:01:11.800 --> 03:01:12.800 He's huge. 03:01:12.800 --> 03:01:15.080 He's got pulverized from Boussio, makes his way in. 03:01:15.080 --> 03:01:17.520 It's piercing dark and it's actually working out quite nicely from Yon. 03:01:17.520 --> 03:01:19.720 As they avoid the piercing arrow as well. 03:01:19.720 --> 03:01:22.440 Yeah, it does feel like Boussio trying to get control of this bottom side. 03:01:22.440 --> 03:01:25.320 You can see multiple pings going on towards the second squad of spawn. 03:01:25.320 --> 03:01:28.160 So that's where KC is starting to rotate to now. 03:01:28.160 --> 03:01:29.840 And you can see the pings right now. 03:01:29.840 --> 03:01:32.080 Their question mark being the grumps that they have the ward on. 03:01:32.080 --> 03:01:34.000 So they're like, okay, he's not doing grumps. 03:01:34.000 --> 03:01:35.440 He must be doing dragon right now. 03:01:35.440 --> 03:01:37.600 Their bottom lane just pushed in and moved up. 03:01:37.600 --> 03:01:41.360 And CL can't do anything about it, even though they can surmise. 03:01:41.360 --> 03:01:46.800 position and a good call from KC because as we said they had basically the 03:01:46.800 --> 03:01:50.680 Miward set up on the opposite side of the map so they knew Jose was up on top 03:01:50.680 --> 03:01:54.360 sign and get their first dragon for KC. Yep, Jose is going to be out of clear out 03:01:54.360 --> 03:01:58.360 this control ward but his position was known as well moving up towards the 03:01:58.360 --> 03:02:01.920 Raptor camp potentially. He is faking going for the Raptor respawn though and 03:02:01.920 --> 03:02:05.360 then moving down to cover his own so Jaik will move across with Buseo but 03:02:05.360 --> 03:02:09.640 Jose will be here now spotted but the Olaf is on us. Good vision on both sides 03:02:09.640 --> 03:02:13.300 to be honest is it's sort of a bit of an information battle as Yike is able to 03:02:13.300 --> 03:02:17.980 steal this one away the wall goes down but Gwyd gets him off it yeah who is 03:02:17.980 --> 03:02:22.260 just going to back away so just trying to play defensively here KC making sure 03:02:22.260 --> 03:02:27.100 that no Biffo goes down in this early stage and things remain incredibly even 03:02:27.100 --> 03:02:30.980 who's they still trying to get this reinvade though no push in mid for us 03:02:30.980 --> 03:02:35.340 might he just want he knows you like just use this might but good draw there 03:02:35.340 --> 03:02:38.140 from Yike pulls them all the way back into the brush is a little risky though 03:02:38.140 --> 03:02:43.960 because he is only level five versus the level six and yeah who it showed in mid. I quit it just reset. So there 03:02:43.960 --> 03:02:46.020 Couldn't potentially been a moment for KC 03:02:46.020 --> 03:02:49.580 But decided not to pull the trigger to me is to walk back down towards his bottom side 03:02:49.980 --> 03:02:53.260 Giving a yank a little bit more time again to just farm up a bit of a leaf from 03:02:54.340 --> 03:02:56.260 But Paul Brice does come on through here 03:02:56.260 --> 03:02:59.220 It's changed the corruption come down at the same time boost your only level five 03:02:59.220 --> 03:03:03.620 So it doesn't have the unbreakable will as yawn trying to do his best called JJ flashing away with the hail of arrows 03:03:03.620 --> 03:03:08.260 He's going to connect max range on the anchor to get the escape out from this Nautilus 03:03:08.260 --> 03:03:10.220 But did still have to use the flash in the play 03:03:10.220 --> 03:03:13.820 The boost you're doing a good job of body blocking the hook to the terrain in front of them 03:03:13.820 --> 03:03:18.040 So that then you have to burn the flashes Kory JJ still manages to escape 03:03:18.460 --> 03:03:23.020 But it does give Casey a little bit of an advantage now on that bottom side. Yeah, Jose was moving down 03:03:23.020 --> 03:03:29.740 That's why you saw young playing so aggressively and Casey they smelt it. So they are going to be able to back away successfully 03:03:29.740 --> 03:03:35.020 No big advantage is being picked up even as Centelite actually doing fine as far as farm 03:03:35.020 --> 03:03:39.680 I think that is going to be entirely evened out as these minions do get taken 03:03:40.180 --> 03:03:45.640 Teleport back in as Kalista is going to face check does get sned piercing darkness comes down to the piercing arrow 03:03:45.640 --> 03:03:48.760 Is there as well a lot of piercing from both of these 80 carries? 03:03:49.640 --> 03:03:54.660 Who's using that teleport off the Summoner's mobile phone to get back into the lane means they should be able to get a fight for themselves 03:03:54.660 --> 03:03:59.640 Although maybe not wanting to overextend too much still ensures to where the Olaf is quite at the minors 03:03:59.880 --> 03:04:02.340 But uh, we'll open up a roam for Buseo 03:04:02.580 --> 03:04:07.700 And I think that's where they really do want to try and unlock Buseo from this bottom lane right now get him active on the map 03:04:07.940 --> 03:04:12.200 Yeah, Alistar pretty good at uh making an impact in other lanes 03:04:13.140 --> 03:04:17.080 We'll be out of moving demand, but you can see that he is shadowed by core JJ immediately 03:04:17.080 --> 03:04:23.800 Right, also wants to use his ultimate as he starts up the grubs, this may be the area 03:04:23.800 --> 03:04:24.800 to do it. 03:04:24.800 --> 03:04:29.320 Yeah, Morgan going to move down and the Sion is in the bottom lane KC, man disadvantage 03:04:29.320 --> 03:04:33.360 for this particular objective and I think that they are just going to back away and 03:04:33.360 --> 03:04:38.920 just let Kanna create some control for themselves by taking this bottom lane out. 03:04:38.920 --> 03:04:43.320 Yon is going to lose a bunch of his health bar as Kanna is just basically unaware of 03:04:43.320 --> 03:04:44.320 the turret's existence. 03:04:44.320 --> 03:04:47.200 It felt like a very late swap from KC though, because... 03:04:47.200 --> 03:04:49.040 Oh hang on, is there gonna get caught here? 03:04:49.040 --> 03:04:52.000 Well, yeah, I guess moving down, there was a lot of good vision here from TL. 03:04:52.000 --> 03:04:56.960 So, CoreJJ making his way in to flash on forward, flash out from Yarn as well, 03:04:56.960 --> 03:05:00.960 as he gets a supreme display of talent, but the ulti from Yarn keeps him alive for a little longer, 03:05:00.960 --> 03:05:04.480 just not quite long enough, his first blood does go over to the Sion. 03:05:04.480 --> 03:05:06.560 Ari roamed from Qid. 03:05:06.560 --> 03:05:10.560 Yeah, no flash available here for Kanna, no ulti as well, but he gets into the minion wave. 03:05:10.560 --> 03:05:13.280 I don't know whether it's gonna be enough, though, as the charm still goes wide. 03:05:13.280 --> 03:05:18.160 Anchor is going to be there to lock him down, and it's TL that even out the kills. 03:05:18.160 --> 03:05:20.220 Okay, little shut down there. 03:05:20.220 --> 03:05:23.920 4 quid on the compensation flame. 03:05:23.920 --> 03:05:25.560 Mid flame does get pushed to the top. 03:05:25.560 --> 03:05:27.680 Yeah, there is the dominance here from Morgan. 03:05:27.680 --> 03:05:31.480 Flash is forward, and now the Ragnarok is going to get popped from Jose. 03:05:31.480 --> 03:05:33.080 Kalis can get taken down first. 03:05:33.080 --> 03:05:36.560 Buccio nowhere to run, as there is the true damage. 03:05:36.560 --> 03:05:38.720 And it's Morgan that locks up the kill in the end. 03:05:38.720 --> 03:05:39.760 Yeah, they split it there. 03:05:39.760 --> 03:05:43.160 Morgan's like, all right, I'm going to take the second one, holds off, holds off. 03:05:43.160 --> 03:05:48.380 and gets it, one for each of the TL Bash brothers in the top lane. 03:05:48.380 --> 03:05:51.700 Man, that is exactly what you want to see is the Olaf though. 03:05:51.700 --> 03:05:54.920 You can just ulti and walk forwards towards him. 03:05:54.920 --> 03:05:56.620 He'd flash into the lane. 03:05:56.620 --> 03:05:58.420 Yeah, knowing that there was no real follow-up, 03:05:58.420 --> 03:06:01.360 the case he could have once the Olaf ends up getting that ultimate. 03:06:01.360 --> 03:06:03.020 You can keep him off the carry. 03:06:03.020 --> 03:06:04.160 Kalis goes down. 03:06:04.160 --> 03:06:07.020 Morgan stays alive for so long, 03:06:07.020 --> 03:06:09.560 and TL picking up big wins in the top lane. 03:06:09.560 --> 03:06:11.760 Yeah, really good plan from TL there. 03:06:11.760 --> 03:06:17.880 They're lying in way, ready for the countergank, both flashing onto Kalista, being able to get 03:06:17.880 --> 03:06:18.880 this kill. 03:06:18.880 --> 03:06:24.200 Now, a lot of summer spells used, okay, because Yon also had to use his earlier on the other 03:06:24.200 --> 03:06:25.200 side. 03:06:25.200 --> 03:06:27.040 So there's a couple areas for this Qiyana to attack. 03:06:27.040 --> 03:06:30.280 You saw how, you know, effective Yikes' ult was in the dive. 03:06:30.280 --> 03:06:33.120 Maybe he can get something going on the second one. 03:06:33.120 --> 03:06:38.400 With this Umbral Glaive, it is so nice to roam around, keep that vision control, so you 03:06:38.400 --> 03:06:41.480 can keep another pathway for Bucio to help roaming with you. 03:06:41.480 --> 03:06:44.920 It did feel though that KC kind of fumbled the swap a lot though, right? 03:06:44.920 --> 03:06:49.440 They ended up being late towards the rotation to go for the Grubbs and you end up then in 03:06:49.440 --> 03:06:53.280 this mixed match where Jose Dioto and Morgan can actually chase you down. 03:06:53.280 --> 03:06:56.080 Sure you get the kill on the bottom side, but it's been a big win for TL. 03:06:56.080 --> 03:07:00.000 KC though, now with the push on mid lane, going to move over towards the dragon. 03:07:00.000 --> 03:07:03.280 You have the TP for Morgan if they really want to, and Jose Dioto is in the pit. 03:07:03.280 --> 03:07:04.280 Wait, he just walks over. 03:07:04.280 --> 03:07:08.360 It is going to be the secure on the drake though as Jose down to 50%, there's the Ragnarok 03:07:08.360 --> 03:07:12.020 to get him out of the CC, and now quick dashes over the wall. 03:07:12.020 --> 03:07:14.460 There's the over deception, and the ulti to come through, 03:07:14.460 --> 03:07:16.520 the dawning chatter to keep them alive. 03:07:16.520 --> 03:07:18.980 Yike down so incredibly low, but TL, 03:07:18.980 --> 03:07:20.280 they have to worry about the brick wall 03:07:20.280 --> 03:07:21.900 that is this side on the anchor. 03:07:21.900 --> 03:07:24.360 It's just gonna go straight into Kanner as Jose. 03:07:24.360 --> 03:07:26.820 Side step secure, headbutt pole from Buzio, 03:07:26.820 --> 03:07:29.160 as he tries to take Mavis with hands on shield. 03:07:29.160 --> 03:07:31.980 Incredible on the Jose, but he is gonna be taken down first, 03:07:31.980 --> 03:07:35.940 and the unbreakable will of this Alistar keeps him alive. 03:07:35.940 --> 03:07:38.660 Kor also going to be kept alive at the same time as Quid. 03:07:38.660 --> 03:07:41.340 Now in the back of the pit does have to flash away 03:07:41.340 --> 03:07:44.740 and Yaik is hunting for these escaping members of TL 03:07:44.740 --> 03:07:46.460 but they will be able to make their way out. 03:07:46.460 --> 03:07:48.780 What the hell are the fights in these series? 03:07:48.780 --> 03:07:49.940 They're so close, Yaik. 03:07:49.940 --> 03:07:51.460 Wait, be chased down by Yon. 03:07:51.460 --> 03:07:53.660 Well, should be able to just dash himself away. 03:07:53.660 --> 03:07:55.900 But oh my God, that was close. 03:07:55.900 --> 03:07:58.460 I mean, Jose went in there, he has no flash. 03:07:58.460 --> 03:07:59.540 Is it Olaf? 03:07:59.540 --> 03:08:00.620 Olaf in the pit. 03:08:00.620 --> 03:08:02.740 You're like, okay, he's gonna ult away 03:08:02.740 --> 03:08:04.460 but then he's just walking back and forth, 03:08:04.460 --> 03:08:08.300 strafing in the back of the pit teleport though the play is not done quite yet. 03:08:08.300 --> 03:08:12.860 Yeah it's Morgan making his way in as the ruthless predator should be out of sync 03:08:12.860 --> 03:08:17.740 his fangs in sets up for the charm and that is a very dead scion no options for 03:08:17.740 --> 03:08:22.700 Kanna and Morgan is just going to deal with this zombie as well so that's 03:08:22.700 --> 03:08:26.620 tail getting another kill back but look at the goal I mean KC is still in a 03:08:26.620 --> 03:08:30.620 fine position here in this game and with double dragon and you see it Jose goes 03:08:30.620 --> 03:08:34.380 in Kanna is doing a good job of trying to buy space but he has no damage 03:08:34.380 --> 03:08:40.000 behind them just kind of waiting babusio sees the moment for the knock of the open kind of gets some good damage like 03:08:40.000 --> 03:08:45.340 Snipes from the brush and again kind of kind of binds based on towards quit and yawn is the case 03:08:45.340 --> 03:08:48.520 He can kind of work their way in towards this pit again 03:08:48.520 --> 03:08:52.840 But it got so dodgy towards the end of this especially with that locked in onto Kalist 03:08:52.980 --> 03:08:58.540 Yeah, it was a it was a weird call from Tia because Piazza is really hard to outsmite because she has really good 03:08:58.940 --> 03:09:03.260 Jungle monster modifiers and then you acted a good job using his ultimate as well 03:09:03.260 --> 03:09:10.040 get to the dragon and they get the kills afterwards so KC they bring the gold right back to even and 03:09:10.180 --> 03:09:17.920 To dragon stacking it is exactly even as well and we have a chemtek soul often times people don't like chemtek soul 03:09:18.020 --> 03:09:24.020 I'm seeing an Olaf here Renekton and an Ari like there are so many champions and a Senna 03:09:24.020 --> 03:09:27.300 I mean I skipped like the most important one you get so much value 03:09:27.300 --> 03:09:34.300 you from this Chemtex all because everyone can kind of be kept alive with shields and heals at lower health. 03:09:34.300 --> 03:09:42.300 And so this Chemtex all could be incredibly valuable, especially for TL, but I mean the same can be said on the other side of the Rift as well. 03:09:42.300 --> 03:09:51.300 Okay, let's see who is going to be able to keep stacking these up, whether it's going to be KC or whether it's TL finally prioritizing the Drake. 03:09:51.300 --> 03:09:54.920 because I don't think Taylor necessarily not had very much control in this game. 03:09:54.920 --> 03:09:56.720 They just haven't been focused on the dragons. 03:09:57.480 --> 03:10:01.200 Yeah, very much so, because they're looking at how their commas are going to operate later. 03:10:01.200 --> 03:10:07.740 You know, they're trying to bank on Yon stacking souls and then getting some money into Jose. 03:10:07.740 --> 03:10:11.820 So they get to the point where this Olaf just gets to run at Varus and Taliyah. 03:10:11.820 --> 03:10:14.860 And those champions are not going to be able to dash away. 03:10:14.980 --> 03:10:21.240 Nope. And they need to get to the kind of the critical point where Jose and Morgan 03:10:21.240 --> 03:10:25.240 are going to be able to dive and put that pressure onto the back line. 03:10:25.240 --> 03:10:29.240 I think that's why you can see KC trying to be so active with this portion of the game. 03:10:29.240 --> 03:10:33.240 Pushing in mid, trying to establish vision from the spot side, trying to shift both Buccio and Jyke 03:10:33.240 --> 03:10:38.240 towards either side of the map, maybe trying to find a play, because they know that as this game 03:10:38.240 --> 03:10:42.240 starts to go on, this Olaf and this Senna are going to get significantly more terrifying 03:10:42.240 --> 03:10:46.240 for their back line, so hoping they can catch Team Liquid and start to blow up in this game 03:10:46.240 --> 03:10:48.240 a little bit more on their fate. 03:10:48.240 --> 03:10:53.040 Alright, as the dust settles, we're moving back towards the mid lane. 03:10:53.040 --> 03:10:57.040 We're gonna call it a K-RAM because we are in Korea at the moment. 03:10:57.040 --> 03:11:00.540 We're in the river at this particular point in time. 03:11:00.540 --> 03:11:03.540 As now the anchor comes forward, double knockup there from CoreJJ. 03:11:03.540 --> 03:11:05.540 As they're looking for Kallisti, flashes out of the way, 03:11:05.540 --> 03:11:07.540 but it's not gonna be able to escape. 03:11:07.540 --> 03:11:09.540 Jose Dioto right now is a train. 03:11:09.540 --> 03:11:11.540 Just drives past the Viking. 03:11:11.540 --> 03:11:13.540 Yeah, getting the supreme display of talent, 03:11:13.540 --> 03:11:15.540 but it's now Buzio dead in this split fight. 03:11:15.540 --> 03:11:18.700 It works out so beautifully for TL, KC. 03:11:18.700 --> 03:11:20.180 Kind of just fell apart. 03:11:20.180 --> 03:11:22.140 I thought it was going to take a while for the Olaf 03:11:22.140 --> 03:11:23.380 to get back to the Varus. 03:11:23.380 --> 03:11:26.100 But the Varus is right there in front of CoreJJ. 03:11:26.100 --> 03:11:30.660 CoreJJ nails him with the hook, and they full combo Kalis. 03:11:30.660 --> 03:11:31.980 It's a beautiful setup. 03:11:31.980 --> 03:11:32.900 Jose is like, great. 03:11:32.900 --> 03:11:34.740 I'll just be able to take the kill early. 03:11:34.740 --> 03:11:35.380 Take a look at this. 03:11:35.380 --> 03:11:37.780 So into the brush here. 03:11:37.780 --> 03:11:39.900 CoreJJ is going to walk over with Yon. 03:11:39.900 --> 03:11:42.820 And then, boom, right there, right in the glissons. 03:11:42.820 --> 03:11:43.300 Guess what? 03:11:43.300 --> 03:11:44.700 Olaf right behind him. 03:11:44.700 --> 03:11:50.820 So that's gonna be a very dead Varus very early on from that point that you're basically trying to scramble and get it 03:11:50.820 --> 03:11:55.980 People out evacuate but quit also hitting the charm there and yeah, they're able to finish off who's yo 03:11:55.980 --> 03:12:00.260 And I mean, I'm still trying to figure out like this walk towards the bush. They knew that the nonless was it 03:12:00.580 --> 03:12:02.020 Hmm that that is one 03:12:02.020 --> 03:12:07.900 There's also kind of deciding to drive the train past the very scale it scary Olaf that did just lose Ragnarok 03:12:08.140 --> 03:12:11.420 Which could have potentially helped him and yike make something happen 03:12:11.420 --> 03:12:16.260 But was a bit of a mistake there from KC and it does put TL in a fantastic position. 03:12:16.260 --> 03:12:24.060 The first big gold advantage here in this game is TL looking for that date against T1 coming up tomorrow. 03:12:24.060 --> 03:12:28.700 Try and get themselves a spot in the main stage of MSI. 03:12:28.700 --> 03:12:30.260 Remember, this is just a low bracket. 03:12:30.260 --> 03:12:37.260 There is still one more test to get yourselves towards that main stage coming up after this. 03:12:37.260 --> 03:12:43.420 4 JJ doing such a good job here constantly sweeping constantly thrown down control wards and guess what now 03:12:43.420 --> 03:12:49.260 You're gonna have to enter into the dragon area here versus to who are ready to dive again 03:12:49.260 --> 03:12:53.020 And I think 4 JJ has been such a standard performer for me for team liquid MSI 03:12:53.020 --> 03:12:58.740 He has really stepped up the Nautilus in particular has been fantastic and he may find Calist once more here 03:12:58.900 --> 03:13:02.580 Yeah, and you're gonna connect on the counter. This is gonna be their first target in this fight 03:13:02.580 --> 03:13:04.580 There's not a lot of follow-up. It's in the meantime though 03:13:04.580 --> 03:13:11.040 There is an Ari lying on the floor so quid not able to do too much and they're able to protect canna with a great weaver's wall 03:13:11.200 --> 03:13:16.140 This might actually be able to get KC this sole point that they've been looking for TL 03:13:16.140 --> 03:13:17.500 They do not want to give this one up 03:13:17.500 --> 03:13:21.580 But I mean it's so difficult without their mid laner who doesn't have teleport as well 03:13:21.580 --> 03:13:25.060 Buzio goes in gets the pulverizer steal from Jose 03:13:25.300 --> 03:13:29.120 Never mind it wasn't it was actually the Riftale taking down a turret as now 03:13:29.120 --> 03:13:33.500 We've got a teamfight as Morgan knocked up into the sky, but he's gonna get on top of the list once again 03:13:33.500 --> 03:13:40.900 Buccio is dead in TL! They are still going to win the ensuing fight as the Blastcon pulls back Kanna! 03:13:40.900 --> 03:13:47.500 And he's able to unstoppable onslaught his way out of there. That was such a weird period of play. 03:13:47.500 --> 03:13:53.500 They know where Morgan is. He does not want that fight. 03:13:53.500 --> 03:13:58.500 I got so enthusiastic because I saw that there was Olaf taking something. 03:13:58.500 --> 03:14:02.500 And the smite didn't actually come on through. Casey were at least able to get themselves to the point. 03:14:02.500 --> 03:14:08.580 self-stall point. Yeah, Buzio does a good job. He's just keep him a barely out of range, but this is the real surprise. 03:14:08.580 --> 03:14:14.860 Yeah, Quid deleted by Yike there. Nicely done by Yike right out of the brush, and Quid also flashed there. 03:14:14.860 --> 03:14:17.900 So no wonder they deleted him, but they also got his summoner spell. 03:14:18.020 --> 03:14:22.180 Had he just teleported to that part of the map as well on top of everything? 03:14:22.180 --> 03:14:30.180 So that's even more that he misses out on the next little while. Still 2.6k going to be the advantage for TL and 03:14:30.180 --> 03:14:35.260 And breaking open at the middle of the map going to be very important for this squad at the same time 03:14:35.260 --> 03:14:36.760 So I think still in a good position 03:14:36.760 --> 03:14:39.240 But giving over the soul is going to be a rough one 03:14:39.240 --> 03:14:45.460 Especially when KC do kind of want to speed things up getting to an early elder could be dangerous here for TL before their centers online 03:14:45.460 --> 03:14:48.300 I think they still do have an exception strong combo with you 03:14:48.300 --> 03:14:50.220 I thought you could see how quickly he could delete quiz 03:14:50.220 --> 03:14:56.540 Yeah, if he ends up finding that big play in the middle of a team fight that could be it like the gold is 2.7k at this stage 03:14:56.540 --> 03:15:02.420 It's nice but not insurmountable for KC, but especially as Team Liquid now gets set up on sidelines 03:15:02.420 --> 03:15:06.220 I think this is where they start to become more threatening like Ari very good in the position 03:15:06.660 --> 03:15:12.220 Morgan under an active with the lead very strong and Jose Dioto more than happy to dive these turrets if it works for him 03:15:12.580 --> 03:15:18.140 Well, it might work for him right now as they are moving towards Canna the referee got something to say to this player 03:15:18.980 --> 03:15:21.500 It's kind of really wants to get rid of this turret is Ari 03:15:21.500 --> 03:15:28.020 just gonna dash in front to make sure that he's not able to ult away and he moves away from the turret not exactly 03:15:28.100 --> 03:15:30.320 Opportunity it's gonna take a while to kill him to kill him 03:15:30.320 --> 03:15:34.180 They will and TL now looking for an opportunity to take down this turn at the same time 03:15:34.180 --> 03:15:36.420 They will be out of get it three grubs gonna be helping out there 03:15:36.500 --> 03:15:43.000 It's a zombie sign on no help from the rest of his teammates. They'll actually moving for a little bit more aggression in this mid lane 03:15:43.140 --> 03:15:46.260 Good good block there from Buzio for list that this slow on him 03:15:46.260 --> 03:15:49.180 So I don't want to try to thread the needle there and get this there 03:15:49.180 --> 03:15:51.180 but instead this walks up and takes itself. 03:15:51.180 --> 03:15:52.860 Nobody's gonna die for Casey there, 03:15:52.860 --> 03:15:55.060 and they'll still get their cross map of the tower, 03:15:55.060 --> 03:15:56.580 but nice play from TL. 03:15:56.580 --> 03:15:57.420 They're just brute force. 03:15:57.420 --> 03:15:59.620 They're like, yes, we will be able to kill you. 03:15:59.620 --> 03:16:01.820 Jose doesn't even respect the zombie getting back up. 03:16:01.820 --> 03:16:03.220 He's like, ah, it's fine. 03:16:03.220 --> 03:16:04.060 Do whatever you want. 03:16:04.060 --> 03:16:05.500 I'm gonna kill this tower, too. 03:16:05.500 --> 03:16:07.340 Yeah, awesome working shifting from top lane. 03:16:07.340 --> 03:16:08.620 No, look, that tower's gonna go down. 03:16:08.620 --> 03:16:09.740 I can't do anything about it. 03:16:09.740 --> 03:16:10.860 Cover is the mid lane, 03:16:10.860 --> 03:16:14.140 so this virus can't even get more of that plate gold. 03:16:14.140 --> 03:16:15.180 And now you're in a position 03:16:15.180 --> 03:16:17.540 where you get to reestablish yourselves on this top side, 03:16:17.540 --> 03:16:18.860 but Baron will put it out. 03:16:18.860 --> 03:16:24.240 It does seem hard for KC to combo like more than one person. 03:16:24.240 --> 03:16:29.140 Like I'll definitely give you, Yike could definitely like one shot quid or one shot Yod. 03:16:29.140 --> 03:16:33.380 But if Olaf now on two items is able to run down your, wait a second, 03:16:33.380 --> 03:16:36.300 they're going to make a big play on topside. That's everybody for TL. 03:16:36.300 --> 03:16:40.100 Yeah, that's a whole gang. They got their whole gang together. 03:16:40.100 --> 03:16:44.020 Looking for an angle towards Yahoo, but he is going to be able to pick up this wave. 03:16:44.020 --> 03:16:46.140 Looks like they're not looking for anything here. 03:16:46.140 --> 03:16:49.580 Jose the spot yike does manage to find him there with the scryers bloom 03:16:50.860 --> 03:16:54.440 Now sprinting over TL. I mean, they just want to kill someone 03:16:54.440 --> 03:17:00.020 Yeah, if you could even get someone summoner spell right now, it'd be a really big win because a minute on the dragon 03:17:01.340 --> 03:17:05.420 Yeah, yike is gonna get pushed away to understand there are a lot of tail members moving on over 03:17:05.420 --> 03:17:07.220 They have dropped vision towards that top side 03:17:07.220 --> 03:17:14.380 So the counter Baron is not looking like an option here and early control of this dragon area when you're staring down the barrel of soul point 03:17:14.380 --> 03:17:19.920 Smart idea. Yeah, the map just feels so shortened for KC because you're constantly getting controlled over mid 03:17:20.020 --> 03:17:27.580 Kali's can't really step up to contest that mid push and then you're shifting with core JJ Jose Diodo and on back and forth 03:17:27.820 --> 03:17:30.740 Getting all the vision you want to nine KC in the access to river 03:17:30.740 --> 03:17:36.560 And if anyone at all steps up they just immediately die like Kanna is the only real tanky one of this team 03:17:36.560 --> 03:17:39.780 Yeah, and I think that Tiel should make the call to 03:17:40.300 --> 03:17:42.060 you know prioritize 03:17:42.060 --> 03:17:48.100 diving Yehu instead of Kalis. Kalis right now isn't even going to do much damage if he's, you know, if he's attacking people 03:17:48.100 --> 03:17:51.180 but I think taking out the Taliyah first then would be the 03:17:51.980 --> 03:17:57.180 obviously like ideal priority, but you know if Kalis is there too also still a good target to run down and 03:17:58.220 --> 03:18:03.620 Okay, now he's got rageblade. So now it's definitely a bit more threatening. Yeah, two items pretty scary here 03:18:03.980 --> 03:18:09.200 We do have a couple for Yon also put together there as the manamune has been completed now as well 03:18:09.200 --> 03:18:15.700 Well, and he's going to start doing a fair bit of damage himself, 62 on the souls meter 03:18:15.700 --> 03:18:16.700 as well. 03:18:16.700 --> 03:18:17.700 It's not too shabby. 03:18:17.700 --> 03:18:19.700 So is he standing on a ward? 03:18:19.700 --> 03:18:20.700 This could be a problem. 03:18:20.700 --> 03:18:21.700 Is the teleport in from Morgan? 03:18:21.700 --> 03:18:23.500 We'll be able to augment this play. 03:18:23.500 --> 03:18:24.500 Down here. 03:18:24.500 --> 03:18:29.100 Yeah, just spawned as Morgan spotted on vision, there's spring display talent only on a core 03:18:29.100 --> 03:18:30.540 JJ, but they are looking to burst him down. 03:18:30.540 --> 03:18:34.300 They find it as Yon also gets a snare into that backline, but there is the interruption 03:18:34.300 --> 03:18:35.300 on Morgan dawning. 03:18:35.300 --> 03:18:38.900 Shabby, you're doing so much work as they take two down already. 03:18:38.900 --> 03:18:46.900 No bottom lane left, his quits dashing towards Yehu, who is just running for their hills. Morgan cares not for your turrets, KC! 03:18:46.900 --> 03:18:52.900 Although maybe he should, as he's taking a lot of damage, just flash away, and Canada, looking at flash after him, does not find the angles. 03:18:52.900 --> 03:18:55.900 Yehu, not going to be out of defend as they look to move back and take the dragon. 03:18:55.900 --> 03:19:03.900 Okay, so KC, they do one-shot somebody, but it's only the Nautilus, and so Team Liquid, they win in the scramble and they're going to deny the dragon soul. 03:19:03.900 --> 03:19:07.940 the dragon saw you all played that fight so well the immediate flash away from 03:19:07.940 --> 03:19:11.620 the supreme display talents who doesn't get caught and then gets the roost on 03:19:11.620 --> 03:19:14.860 towards Calis as well as yeah who wants to fight against quit with the sidesteps 03:19:14.860 --> 03:19:18.380 though yeah who's here don't make his way forward can is here as well quid 03:19:18.380 --> 03:19:23.260 ladies and gentlemen is dead he's gonna be out of take him and that is the 03:19:23.260 --> 03:19:27.500 shutdown so nicely done there first kill going over to Yahoo and I think getting 03:19:27.500 --> 03:19:31.380 money on your Taliyah going to feel fantastic looking for that third item 03:19:31.380 --> 03:19:34.320 and wanting to be able to augment the damage here for KC. 03:19:34.320 --> 03:19:35.720 Yeah, I mean, it's a good follow-up play, 03:19:35.720 --> 03:19:38.660 because, you know, that's how they killed Kalis 03:19:38.660 --> 03:19:41.020 was Quid, Ulten, flashing forward to follow up 03:19:41.020 --> 03:19:42.760 and get the charm on him off that route 03:19:42.760 --> 03:19:44.400 that you're talking about, 03:19:44.400 --> 03:19:45.900 that Yan was able to land on him. 03:19:45.900 --> 03:19:48.740 So they knew no mobility left for that Ori. 03:19:48.740 --> 03:19:50.560 Let's punish him up on the side lane. 03:19:50.560 --> 03:19:53.440 Grab that shutdown money while we can. 03:19:53.440 --> 03:19:54.900 All right, as the dust settles, 03:19:54.900 --> 03:19:56.840 we have the soul denied, 03:19:56.840 --> 03:19:59.780 so four minutes on another opportunity for KC, 03:19:59.780 --> 03:20:03.940 that one Chemtech Dragon is not really going to mean too much for TL. 03:20:03.940 --> 03:20:07.620 They have a long road ahead of them if they do want to even out the drakes in this game. 03:20:07.620 --> 03:20:11.300 So Casey still with a lot of tempo control, I think in this game. 03:20:12.500 --> 03:20:16.580 But whether they can utilize it correctly is going to be the big question as we move forward 03:20:16.580 --> 03:20:22.420 as we check out the Coinbase gold grind. Yon doing a whole lot better than Calist in this game 03:20:22.420 --> 03:20:25.220 and better than I was expecting because he's playing center. 03:20:25.220 --> 03:20:28.820 And oftentimes you feel like you fall behind and it does feel like there's kind of like 03:20:29.780 --> 03:20:35.780 choice here from KC, they're not giving as much of that gold in, of course Kalis, and you can see here, sorry, this was the play, 03:20:35.780 --> 03:20:42.780 Yon flashing away then gets the roost through onto Kalis, which then sets up perfectly for creature flash 4 and he gets the pick, 03:20:42.780 --> 03:20:48.780 and really so much of this play being off the back of Yon playing this exception and then setting up for Jose Dioto, 03:20:48.780 --> 03:20:50.780 kind of knocked them down where they'd already been settled. 03:20:51.780 --> 03:20:56.780 Exactly, running them down, getting the extra kills here, of course on the top side you have this, now we're back to it. 03:20:56.780 --> 03:21:01.120 Yep, more fighting as Yank gonna get taken down a little bit lower, but that's going to be CoreJJ 03:21:01.120 --> 03:21:05.880 in a bit of trouble. Deathcrouch comes in, dawning Shatter to try and keep his Nautilus alive as Quid gets into the backline. 03:21:05.880 --> 03:21:09.480 Spring just by telling them there's so much work and they managed to take down the Olaf, 03:21:09.480 --> 03:21:12.420 but still Yon is fighting Quid's still alive. 03:21:12.420 --> 03:21:16.520 Buccio taken out as Morgan brings his Renekton into the backline. 03:21:16.520 --> 03:21:20.220 The mega Blascoe and Gordy trying to get counter after relative safety, 03:21:20.220 --> 03:21:25.380 but the Charm connects and TL, even without their Viking, are able to win the fight. 03:21:25.380 --> 03:21:28.700 They're able to get the extra ones, and they can push the towers after this too. 03:21:28.700 --> 03:21:32.620 They've got mid-wave and top-wave all pushing in their favor. 03:21:32.620 --> 03:21:36.980 They only dropped the Olof this time with the burst image at the very end there. 03:21:36.980 --> 03:21:38.140 Jaik is able to get it off. 03:21:38.140 --> 03:21:40.100 Is that a 5v5 over a blue buff? 03:21:40.100 --> 03:21:40.620 Yeah, it looks like it. 03:21:40.620 --> 03:21:41.420 Hell yeah! 03:21:42.420 --> 03:21:45.340 And it looked kind of, as you say, decent here for KC to begin with, 03:21:45.340 --> 03:21:47.260 because Jaik doing a good job of separating. 03:21:47.260 --> 03:21:51.860 Buzio has actually been able to keep people off of Kalis on this side as well alongside Kana. 03:21:51.860 --> 03:21:54.460 And it's the supreme display of talent that then sets people off. 03:21:54.460 --> 03:21:56.460 Yeah, so Yike is able to burst down Olaf. 03:21:56.460 --> 03:21:59.760 Morgan is able to get back and then force the list to flash away. 03:21:59.760 --> 03:22:01.760 And so the topside going well for them, 03:22:01.760 --> 03:22:05.360 and they have plenty of time then to finish up the zombie down there. 03:22:05.360 --> 03:22:08.860 I mean, Morgan is just kind of wrecking havoc there 03:22:08.860 --> 03:22:13.260 through these fights as Renekton able to slip through with the slicing dice 03:22:13.260 --> 03:22:16.060 and get the extra pressure from the other side of the fight. 03:22:16.060 --> 03:22:17.660 Meanwhile, Yonah's just free-hitting here. 03:22:17.660 --> 03:22:19.760 The center stacks are at 80, okay? 03:22:19.760 --> 03:22:22.460 You know, he had a lane versus, you know, double melee supports, 03:22:22.460 --> 03:22:29.860 Sacking up souls there and then continually stacking through all of these fights and when the games are this action packed enough so many fights 03:22:29.980 --> 03:22:37.140 This is crazy by the way LCS really making their way back in as far as the score line versus the LEC as these stats 03:22:37.140 --> 03:22:39.740 Actually include the two victories from TL earlier today 03:22:39.740 --> 03:22:44.020 And also like if you look back at the last two years unfortunately hasn't been great for LEC 03:22:44.020 --> 03:22:45.260 It's been LCS 03:22:45.260 --> 03:22:48.940 We've been able to get the best of us for team liquid picking up a 3-1 and then it was flight quest as well 03:22:48.940 --> 03:22:53.820 the match to get the 3-0 of leave over G2 too, so I was kind of hoping that this would be 03:22:54.380 --> 03:22:57.820 KC who like have looked stronger than they did in the past 03:22:58.300 --> 03:23:02.060 kind of stepping up on the international stage like we saw them the first time but really getting 03:23:02.060 --> 03:23:07.580 run at MSI just hasn't been the case and this doesn't even feel like the KC we've seen domestically. 03:23:07.580 --> 03:23:11.900 Yeah, they haven't really been able to rely on that strength or just still being able to win the 03:23:11.900 --> 03:23:15.580 teamfights later. TL have still been able to get the better of them. 03:23:15.580 --> 03:23:19.820 Alright, now setting up once again. 03:23:19.820 --> 03:23:25.580 I mean, I feel like it does get worse because you're still thinking about the Olaf and Senna combination. 03:23:25.580 --> 03:23:33.080 Because the Olaf, when you're buffed up by Senna, like the healing and shielding, Jose just becomes such a crazy threat. 03:23:33.080 --> 03:23:35.580 And if you add several Chemtech dragons into that. 03:23:35.580 --> 03:23:38.080 Yeah, kind of good. Not to mention a Renekton. 03:23:38.080 --> 03:23:39.080 Could be so hard to kill him. 03:23:39.080 --> 03:23:45.840 Yeah, because if the Renekton and the Olaf are sort of like going for the same target center is just giving both of them the same stuff 03:23:46.400 --> 03:23:50.200 Just feels a little bit unfair dawning shadow can be so powerful as well to keep them 03:23:50.720 --> 03:23:57.640 Alive, but 20 seconds until Drake number two is available for TL and still soul available for KC 03:23:57.840 --> 03:24:02.840 They can make it happen yike was pretty good on the smite trigger finger earlier on today 03:24:02.840 --> 03:24:05.560 This could be an opportunity for them to get a bit of power in this game 03:24:05.560 --> 03:24:10.480 Alright, TL once again with vision control nicely set up by them. 03:24:10.480 --> 03:24:14.480 It's going to make KC have to approach this dragon from some dangerous angles. 03:24:14.480 --> 03:24:19.120 They do have some glass cones to work with to get a little creative, but it's so scary 03:24:19.120 --> 03:24:22.880 you can see TL fanning out into this three point. 03:24:22.880 --> 03:24:27.040 They're keeping vision all points of entry over towards the dragon and KC don't even 03:24:27.040 --> 03:24:28.280 want to take a part of it. 03:24:28.280 --> 03:24:30.120 Yep, not going to be a thing. 03:24:30.120 --> 03:24:32.840 So that is going to be second Chemtech dragon over to TL. 03:24:32.840 --> 03:24:37.720 I do like that KC realized they don't really have to fight for this if they can't get a good position. 03:24:37.720 --> 03:24:41.240 And so deciding to forego it for now and get some control towards the baron fit. 03:24:41.240 --> 03:24:44.440 Yeah, they didn't, they were in a position to trade though for anything, right? 03:24:44.440 --> 03:24:46.280 Because you already have that top play pushed out. 03:24:46.280 --> 03:24:48.520 Mid was fully pushed in by Team Liquid as well. 03:24:48.520 --> 03:24:53.960 So you kind of just saw Yahoo move top, get a wave, and then that's been kind of the extent of it. 03:24:53.960 --> 03:24:59.000 So Team Liquid are doing a decent job as well before they set up for the objective of making sure 03:24:59.000 --> 03:25:01.240 there's not an offer for KC to take anywhere else. 03:25:01.240 --> 03:25:08.120 Yeah, and those those experience disadvantages are becoming a problem for KC. I mean Morgan has a straight two-level lead 03:25:08.320 --> 03:25:15.620 Yeah over conna so like the side lanes are really really hard for them to deal with because a rennet fed Renekton 03:25:15.620 --> 03:25:18.040 And an Ari in the side lanes very very dangerous 03:25:18.040 --> 03:25:23.540 So that's like KC keep having to catch a little and then they like lose a little bit here a little bit there when they're going 03:25:23.540 --> 03:25:28.220 Some of these setups, you know, and even even yon is a full level ahead of Callis 03:25:28.220 --> 03:25:29.720 So we're gonna start up the Baron. 03:25:29.720 --> 03:25:31.720 Yeah, Yike is actually gonna go back. 03:25:31.720 --> 03:25:34.020 They don't have any vision towards his Baron, Pepe Bustio. 03:25:34.020 --> 03:25:36.820 He cannot check it. They do manage to get the Scryers' Bloom. 03:25:36.820 --> 03:25:39.420 But the Baron already down to 50% Yike realizing 03:25:39.420 --> 03:25:42.520 that he has to stick around, try and go for a bit of a trade here as the wall comes down. 03:25:42.520 --> 03:25:45.920 Core JJ possibly caught out, flung back towards the team as he flashes away. 03:25:45.920 --> 03:25:48.220 Death turn comes through. Yike is dead versus Kanna. 03:25:48.220 --> 03:25:50.420 Stunned up! Core JJ's still alive! 03:25:50.420 --> 03:25:51.820 As they're dashing into the backline. 03:25:51.820 --> 03:25:54.520 Callist is going to keep himself alive on other sides. 03:25:54.520 --> 03:25:57.420 Everything takes down Quinn and keeps himself alive. 03:25:57.420 --> 03:26:03.500 Jose, next one to fall, Kanna should be wiped off the rift by Morgan, but TL and even trade 03:26:03.500 --> 03:26:05.780 is not what they were looking for around that Baron. 03:26:05.780 --> 03:26:08.620 Yeah, I think they were separated again. 03:26:08.620 --> 03:26:13.140 There certainly isn't the amount of focus now I was expecting in these fights when we're 03:26:13.140 --> 03:26:18.380 diving two different areas and they'll scroll back over and they're still on the side. 03:26:18.380 --> 03:26:21.700 Because I thought that charm from Quinn was about to just be the end for KCE. 03:26:21.700 --> 03:26:24.700 You see here, they jump on towards Core JJ, 03:26:24.700 --> 03:26:27.500 but just watch the charm here from Quid. 03:26:27.500 --> 03:26:30.180 He matches his steep past Buccio onto Yike. 03:26:30.180 --> 03:26:31.700 He doesn't get the ult off, 03:26:31.700 --> 03:26:33.660 and then you get this chasing to the backline. 03:26:33.660 --> 03:26:35.260 But because the ult hasn't been hitting people, 03:26:35.260 --> 03:26:37.540 Jose Diodo ends up with the ult falling off. 03:26:37.540 --> 03:26:39.300 He gets double hit by Yehu. 03:26:39.300 --> 03:26:41.060 You get the combo from Buccio onto Quid. 03:26:41.060 --> 03:26:42.260 Khalis stays alive, 03:26:42.260 --> 03:26:44.700 and Khan is buying a ton of time in that backline 03:26:44.700 --> 03:26:46.820 where you have to draw Morgan away. 03:26:46.820 --> 03:26:48.340 So in the grand scheme of things, 03:26:48.340 --> 03:26:49.580 ends up being a two for two. 03:26:49.580 --> 03:26:55.900 Excellent pealing there from yeah, and Buzio keeping Calista live man that's Aliyah over the wall 03:26:56.540 --> 03:27:01.180 And Calista being able to sidestep as well avoiding the over deception 03:27:01.180 --> 03:27:06.620 I mean quit just needed to hit anything and he would have died you saw Calista go down exceptionally low 03:27:07.580 --> 03:27:08.820 But man 03:27:08.820 --> 03:27:10.220 Really really close stuff 03:27:10.220 --> 03:27:12.660 TL did have control of the game though 03:27:12.660 --> 03:27:16.240 And so then going for an even trade going to be working out for Casey 03:27:16.240 --> 03:27:20.540 But you can see the damage that was done in that last teamfight, Yehuu, outpacing everyone on KC, 03:27:20.540 --> 03:27:22.440 and this has kind of been the call from KC. 03:27:22.440 --> 03:27:25.840 It's Get Yehuu into a side lane, try and feed him a bunch of gold. 03:27:25.840 --> 03:27:29.840 That's why he's the one member with an actual advantage when it comes towards the levels, 03:27:29.840 --> 03:27:31.840 working up towards that rabbit on Deathcap. 03:27:31.840 --> 03:27:37.640 KC would love to have that before this Chemtech Dragonfight, which I expect is coming in just under two minutes. 03:27:38.340 --> 03:27:40.340 Alright, Koyotei clearing out vision. 03:27:40.340 --> 03:27:43.040 Jose wasting no time, he's already hitting the Baron, 03:27:43.040 --> 03:27:46.340 And there is another Skryas boom that is going to spot that one out. 03:27:46.340 --> 03:27:49.540 So KC, utilizing the map in order to get vision, 03:27:49.540 --> 03:27:53.440 as there is another anchor forward, not exactly the optimal target as Buseo is the one that's focused, 03:27:53.440 --> 03:27:55.140 but on breakable will now being on cooldown. 03:27:55.140 --> 03:27:56.540 That's a Renekton showing up. 03:27:56.540 --> 03:27:59.340 It does have the big old shield from that teleport from the top lane. 03:27:59.840 --> 03:28:01.440 Honestly, that's pretty good for KC. 03:28:01.440 --> 03:28:03.340 They got the extra teleport out, 03:28:03.340 --> 03:28:06.040 because they're the ones that used scion teleport last time. 03:28:06.540 --> 03:28:08.040 So they did get the cooldown. 03:28:08.040 --> 03:28:13.480 Buccio's recalling, though, Alistar with no ultimate, is pretty hard to teamfight. 03:28:13.480 --> 03:28:17.880 Yeah, and they still have zero vision of this area, Yike not actually moving over. 03:28:17.880 --> 03:28:20.680 They do spot it with the scrying orb. 03:28:20.680 --> 03:28:23.640 Can KC actually go for it? There's the point blank charm! 03:28:23.640 --> 03:28:28.520 Yike is wiped out by the dawning shadow! No smite, no chance of contesting! 03:28:28.520 --> 03:28:32.600 The Baron here as well as TL, beautifully played! 03:28:32.600 --> 03:28:37.240 TL, set up wonderfully on that. Managing to pick off Yike as he goes to the set up. 03:28:37.240 --> 03:28:42.520 As he said, there was no vision, no control at all around the pitch, and TL knew us. 03:28:43.080 --> 03:28:47.800 Now with the Baron buff, 4-1 split push, Ari on topside, and as Morgan walks in... 03:28:47.800 --> 03:28:50.360 Yeah, he's just face-checking it. Doesn't have the dominance available. 03:28:50.360 --> 03:28:53.480 Colomique is going to be there as the rest of TL moving on forward. 03:28:53.480 --> 03:28:57.480 There's the unstoppable onslaught to get Kanna out of there, but that is now a big tool 03:28:57.480 --> 03:29:00.680 that he will not be able to use. The Inatar is going to be taken down towards the topside, 03:29:00.680 --> 03:29:05.560 and TL, this Rebel Baron power play, already at 2200, 03:29:05.560 --> 03:29:07.560 And Quid should be able to get away from this. 03:29:07.560 --> 03:29:08.560 I say that. 03:29:08.560 --> 03:29:09.560 Doesn't have the ult, yes. 03:29:09.560 --> 03:29:10.560 Yes, Flash. 03:29:10.560 --> 03:29:12.560 Yeah, Foxfire as well. 03:29:12.560 --> 03:29:14.560 Trying to keep him be okay. 03:29:14.560 --> 03:29:16.560 The Flash now has to be used, though, 03:29:16.560 --> 03:29:20.560 as, aww, just barely able to slink past. 03:29:20.560 --> 03:29:22.560 It is easier to go into a town, though, with the Chemtech Dragon, 03:29:22.560 --> 03:29:25.560 just a bit spawned, so, because he tried to make his way out, 03:29:25.560 --> 03:29:27.560 but with the investment case he put into that topside, 03:29:27.560 --> 03:29:30.560 I just don't think they can really contest this once again. 03:29:30.560 --> 03:29:33.560 Well, that is going to be three Chemtech Dragons 03:29:33.560 --> 03:29:38.280 here for TL so that's their sole point to come on in the maximum elemental 03:29:38.280 --> 03:29:42.440 dragons is going to be available here in this game see I'm not going to be 03:29:42.440 --> 03:29:47.320 contested for this one Casey's base remains intact for now but we are 03:29:47.320 --> 03:29:51.680 moving to some pretty dangerous gold levels we certainly are and Morgan now 03:29:51.680 --> 03:29:57.360 has a three level full lead over God he's 507 favorite player your favorite 03:29:57.360 --> 03:30:01.080 player on his favorite champion oh and he's having such a good game on it as 03:30:01.080 --> 03:30:03.080 Well, oh 03:30:03.800 --> 03:30:05.800 Morgan is just wondering who is going to hit 03:30:07.200 --> 03:30:10.040 He is wondering towards quick yike is going to be there as well 03:30:10.040 --> 03:30:16.200 Lucio is going to be in the death chamber as the over deception comes on through doesn't care about the damage reduction from the ulti 03:30:17.920 --> 03:30:21.200 So yes to answer your question. Yeah gone. Yeah 03:30:21.880 --> 03:30:23.400 Yeah 03:30:23.400 --> 03:30:25.440 Well, there's an anchor towards canner as well 03:30:25.440 --> 03:30:30.320 who is just gonna get caught out of position flashes out of the way gets turned into a zombie as Morgan just 03:30:30.400 --> 03:30:33.920 Wonders his way towards this inhibitor turret and KC 03:30:34.360 --> 03:30:38.780 Just kind of falling apart here as their base is doing exactly the same thing 03:30:39.040 --> 03:30:43.540 Inhibitor gonna go down towards the bottom side and with the remnants of this parent TL 03:30:43.680 --> 03:30:46.200 They should be able to get Nexus turrets for this as well 03:30:46.200 --> 03:30:51.740 Yeah, he was still trying to flank he was trying to flank this whole time as everyone was dying and the base is gone 03:30:51.740 --> 03:30:59.080 Well, the Nexus turrets aren't going to start falling down as look at that army of siege minions that are set up to take this last one away 03:30:59.580 --> 03:31:03.820 Buseyo has respawned though, so maybe that is gonna help them out on the defense 03:31:03.820 --> 03:31:11.700 But now it's a naked Nexus and now it's TL so close to another date with T1 as Morgan flashers in they get on top of Yehu 03:31:11.700 --> 03:31:16.620 They wipe him out Buseyo back to the death chamber again and Kalista is on the fountain 03:31:16.620 --> 03:31:23.620 but his Nexus is going to explore another 3-0 as Team Liquid destroy KC. 03:31:24.980 --> 03:31:27.620 Team Liquid well deserved. 03:31:27.620 --> 03:31:29.900 I mean, the improvements that they've shown 03:31:30.660 --> 03:31:33.980 outstanding. I feel like their drafting has got a lot better. 03:31:34.580 --> 03:31:37.180 And you can definitely tell they're more comfortable on the stage. 03:31:37.420 --> 03:31:39.260 Yeah, I mean, this one didn't even feel as close. 03:31:39.260 --> 03:31:42.540 Jungle support have pacing across a huge amount of this series. 03:31:42.540 --> 03:31:47.260 And Morgan getting the better of Carmen that Renekton was terrifying in these fights 03:31:47.260 --> 03:31:53.220 He is pretty good at Renekton as it turns out but a bit of an uncharacteristic performance from Casey 03:31:53.220 --> 03:32:00.380 I felt like they weren't they weren't a very similar position against T1 the TL was I was expecting this to be a whole lot closer 03:32:00.860 --> 03:32:06.500 The TL I mean if you want to have any sort of performance moving towards a matchup against T1 03:32:06.620 --> 03:32:10.820 This is the performance you want to see let's throw it back to the boys on the desk 03:32:10.820 --> 03:32:15.140 certainly is the performance you want to see at least maybe not the performance I 03:32:15.140 --> 03:32:18.900 personally wanted to see but North Americans fans definitely feel bad 03:32:18.900 --> 03:32:24.080 I want to feel good about that last let's back in the glory yeah you know what 03:32:24.080 --> 03:32:27.740 you're just so convincing yeah started show when you're talking about the 03:32:27.740 --> 03:32:32.420 star sign I got it I really connected with the classic Aries performance yeah 03:32:32.420 --> 03:32:36.140 I mean he was talking about phases of the moon 03:32:36.140 --> 03:32:37.580 What was that guy talking about? 03:32:37.580 --> 03:32:38.780 It was the moon, it's not any of that. 03:32:38.780 --> 03:32:41.460 We can't see the moon if we're in close space. 03:32:41.460 --> 03:32:43.940 And I will say Banter aside, hearts out to KC. 03:32:43.940 --> 03:32:46.580 Obviously a pretty crushing way to leave the tournament. 03:32:46.580 --> 03:32:47.420 Yep. 03:32:47.420 --> 03:32:49.700 Was not there, did not have that level of performance. 03:32:49.700 --> 03:32:51.700 So again, condolences. 03:32:51.700 --> 03:32:53.940 Don't want to take away though, from the incredible performance 03:32:53.940 --> 03:32:55.980 we did see from Team Liquid today. 03:32:55.980 --> 03:32:59.140 I think as much as the Banter was going back and forth, 03:32:59.140 --> 03:33:00.700 did you expect it to be that one-sided? 03:33:00.700 --> 03:33:02.940 Because I felt like it was always going to be in Los Ricos. 03:33:02.940 --> 03:33:05.540 It was written in the stars. 03:33:05.540 --> 03:33:07.420 All right, fine, fine, fine. 03:33:07.420 --> 03:33:09.900 I'll just say, I always thought it was going to be a close series. 03:33:09.900 --> 03:33:12.500 That really blew me away how much more dominant team 03:33:12.500 --> 03:33:12.980 like would work. 03:33:12.980 --> 03:33:16.100 I will say, my real opinion was that coming into the tournament, 03:33:16.100 --> 03:33:18.980 I thought KC was going to be better than TL. 03:33:18.980 --> 03:33:21.220 But based on the actual tournament performance, 03:33:21.220 --> 03:33:24.500 Jose and Morgan have both been playing above where I expected. 03:33:24.500 --> 03:33:26.460 Morgan in particular, it's a crazy glow up 03:33:26.460 --> 03:33:27.620 from the regular season. 03:33:27.620 --> 03:33:29.420 And that is actually what made me believe 03:33:29.420 --> 03:33:32.060 that they would have an edge today over KC. 03:33:32.060 --> 03:33:34.380 I thought it was going to be a lot more competitive though. 03:33:34.380 --> 03:33:35.860 But Jose went crazy. 03:33:35.860 --> 03:33:38.460 I think KC's draft prep was horrible. 03:33:38.460 --> 03:33:41.220 And I think that was a big contribution to it as well. 03:33:41.220 --> 03:33:44.020 TL hard outdrafted them, in my opinion. 03:33:44.020 --> 03:33:47.060 And I do think that Glyst had a really bad series 03:33:47.060 --> 03:33:49.220 in some of these big moments. 03:33:49.220 --> 03:33:52.100 Kanna had a horrible vain game. 03:33:52.100 --> 03:33:53.580 KC just didn't show up. 03:33:53.580 --> 03:33:55.220 I think as well, when you look at how 03:33:55.220 --> 03:33:58.900 TL prepared for the T1 series, felt like they came in there 03:33:58.900 --> 03:34:00.220 with some really smart drafts. 03:34:00.220 --> 03:34:03.900 That poppy game, they did most of the work to win the game. 03:34:03.900 --> 03:34:05.140 and then crumbled the last moment, 03:34:05.140 --> 03:34:06.540 but that doesn't eliminate the fact 03:34:06.540 --> 03:34:09.500 they were in a winning position against T1. 03:34:09.500 --> 03:34:11.180 And you can see their game plans 03:34:11.180 --> 03:34:12.940 working really well against KC. 03:34:12.940 --> 03:34:13.980 And in game three as well, right? 03:34:13.980 --> 03:34:15.620 Like those games were winnable. 03:34:15.620 --> 03:34:18.580 And I don't think that KC had that big player 03:34:18.580 --> 03:34:20.060 that was kind of stepping up in the way that, you know, 03:34:20.060 --> 03:34:21.980 the T1 players were from those deficits. 03:34:21.980 --> 03:34:23.980 If you get behind, you need someone to be the star, 03:34:23.980 --> 03:34:26.940 someone to kind of, you know, do that big play. 03:34:26.940 --> 03:34:29.780 I think Yike was trying to start out in that last game, 03:34:29.780 --> 03:34:31.820 but we got to be honest, 03:34:31.820 --> 03:34:35.500 There was one jungler that was standing tall in this one. 03:34:35.500 --> 03:34:38.380 Jose had just been crazy across all three games. 03:34:38.380 --> 03:34:40.900 The Olaf pick, I think, was really, really smart, 03:34:40.900 --> 03:34:42.300 made a lot of sense in the draft. 03:34:42.300 --> 03:34:43.940 It was very cohesive. 03:34:43.940 --> 03:34:47.020 The Lee Sin game was the biggest 1B9 of the tournament, 03:34:47.020 --> 03:34:49.220 one of the biggest 1B9s I've ever seen from a Lee Sin. 03:34:49.220 --> 03:34:51.660 And I think the easiest AWP player of the series 03:34:51.660 --> 03:34:52.500 we've ever had. 03:34:52.500 --> 03:34:54.220 No surprise to see Jose Diodo. 03:34:54.220 --> 03:34:57.100 This is, it was, the Lee Sin performance alone 03:34:57.100 --> 03:34:58.340 would have been enough, 03:34:58.340 --> 03:35:00.700 but really every single game he was making an impact. 03:35:00.700 --> 03:35:03.460 He could have done basically nothing in Game 3, and yet he didn't. 03:35:03.460 --> 03:35:07.900 He found ways to really make an impact on the Olaf, but the Lee Sin game, which is clinical, 03:35:07.900 --> 03:35:12.700 and when I saw it, I was thinking back to that peanut game at MSI, just styling on your 03:35:12.700 --> 03:35:18.260 opponent, picking up kills all over the map, and look at 22, 4, and 22 in the series. 03:35:18.260 --> 03:35:19.260 Insane. 03:35:19.260 --> 03:35:20.260 Absolute monster. 03:35:20.260 --> 03:35:23.940 I mean, absolute monster performance, and the craziest thing is, if you have not watched 03:35:23.940 --> 03:35:29.500 Posei in NA, it just feels like every Lee Sin game he plays looks like that. 03:35:29.500 --> 03:35:35.260 just insane like this guy when he gets any lead is so intelligent about how he actually pushes his 03:35:35.260 --> 03:35:39.580 advantage he plays in the face of his opponents he constantly evades he makes you fight him or he 03:35:39.580 --> 03:35:43.500 makes you can see everything and and it really comes back to like his mindset if you talk to him 03:35:43.500 --> 03:35:47.500 he's so fun to talk to you because you know when you go okay like how do you prepare for these 03:35:47.500 --> 03:35:51.180 series like are you really feeling the pressure and he's just like League of Legends is a game and I 03:35:51.180 --> 03:35:55.100 just try to have fun and and I just go out there and I just remember you know we're just playing 03:35:55.100 --> 03:36:01.960 the game and I do my best and it's like he is just such good vibes and I think it kind of allows him to just play without stress 03:36:01.960 --> 03:36:07.740 I don't see if he can do that on Lee Sin to NA teams, then of course he could do it to EU team 03:36:07.740 --> 03:36:10.240 Oh, a cox! Come on, you can't tell me how that ends, buddy! 03:36:10.240 --> 03:36:13.240 And I will say, this is the top tier analysis why we bring him in 03:36:13.840 --> 03:36:18.800 Seriously though, the real thing for me is most players who have this dominant domestic pick cannot 03:36:19.200 --> 03:36:24.480 transition it to an international stage. The fact that he did against an EU team that again after the first few series 03:36:24.480 --> 03:36:28.400 As we might have said, you know, it's a little bit more TL favor, but initially looked like they would be the favorites. 03:36:28.400 --> 03:36:33.780 And this one against a player like Yaku does have a certain international pedigree has gone the distance against LPL teams, etc. 03:36:33.780 --> 03:36:38.180 Like, this is some really impressive stuff for him. And now I kind of want to see him T1 let it through. 03:36:38.180 --> 03:36:42.080 I'm going to be honest, I really want to see what this looks like going up against someone like owner. 03:36:42.080 --> 03:36:44.880 But of course we are now just getting ready for our post game interview. 03:36:44.880 --> 03:36:46.480 So, final thoughts on this. 03:36:46.480 --> 03:36:49.480 I'm excited for tomorrow to see how they do in the rematch. 03:36:49.480 --> 03:36:52.880 I think they had good ideas in the finish time round, but couldn't get over the finish line. 03:36:52.880 --> 03:36:58.120 I think they could definitely take games series might be a tall toss, but this was a great series great performance 03:36:58.120 --> 03:37:01.120 Them today an impressive ramp up in such a short period of time to write 03:37:01.120 --> 03:37:03.640 It's easy for a tournament as short as this one right? 03:37:03.640 --> 03:37:06.680 We would potentially just play two series and get eliminated not to see that growth 03:37:06.680 --> 03:37:13.800 But I think we are seeing it from TL we really are but we are gonna be joining Jose on stage for the Verizon postgame interview. Let's go 03:37:15.920 --> 03:37:21.080 Nope never mind. We're not ready again. We're not ready. Okay. Just build us. We're eager the problem. We are eager 03:37:21.080 --> 03:37:23.040 We're like so ready to talk to him. 03:37:23.040 --> 03:37:23.880 We are. 03:37:23.880 --> 03:37:24.720 He was always ready. 03:37:24.720 --> 03:37:25.960 He's been our oppa player in the series 03:37:25.960 --> 03:37:27.560 before that third game. 03:37:27.560 --> 03:37:28.400 Now we're ready. 03:37:28.400 --> 03:37:29.220 Let's do it. 03:37:29.220 --> 03:37:30.920 Verizon post game interview with Jose Diablo. 03:37:30.920 --> 03:37:55.920 Congratulations! First question. First off, how does it feel to win in a match where the LCS and LEC's pride on the line and make it to the next round? 03:37:55.920 --> 03:38:04.200 It feels great. I think... I don't know, I've never been in a rivalry with you in NA because I'm from Latin, so it's kind of weird for me, but it's very fun. 03:38:04.200 --> 03:38:16.720 I think the nerves are higher, and obviously fans are like flaming each other, so it's very fun. I think, yeah, afterwards it feels nice because we're three of them, so I'm sure that NA fans are happy now. 03:38:16.720 --> 03:38:25.720 Actually, he's a Latin person, so he didn't really feel much about LCS and LECL in his rivalry, 03:38:25.720 --> 03:38:31.720 but many fans are passionate about him, and they know about the culture of playing against him. 03:38:31.720 --> 03:38:38.720 It's great to be able to win the game as a player, and I'm sure the fans will be more happy that they won 3-0. 03:38:38.720 --> 03:38:53.720 It was also a rematch of 2025, which happened in Korea last year and the year before today. 03:38:53.720 --> 03:38:59.720 It was also a rematch of 2025, which also happened in Korea last year and then again today. 03:38:59.720 --> 03:39:01.720 TL handed KC a loss. 03:39:01.720 --> 03:39:05.720 What kind of conversation did you guys have as a team about the matchup? 03:39:05.720 --> 03:39:12.200 No, funny enough, we saw the series before coming here, I think we were thinking like, 03:39:12.200 --> 03:39:15.060 ah damn, what happened in these games, you know, how you guys beat them, what you guys 03:39:15.060 --> 03:39:19.680 saw in the series, but it's like different players, so it kind of changes the vibe. 03:39:19.680 --> 03:39:23.200 But yeah, I mean, it's nice that we got a rematch. 03:39:23.200 --> 03:39:28.600 I think it's different because OmTi was here last time, so now he's me playing, so maybe 03:39:28.600 --> 03:39:30.640 that's why we didn't lose one game. 03:39:30.640 --> 03:39:31.640 So yeah. 03:39:31.640 --> 03:39:37.640 It's a fun story, but we've all played the same game before today's game. 03:39:37.640 --> 03:39:41.640 We were watching the game together and we were wondering how we would win. 03:39:41.640 --> 03:39:48.640 The lineup and the composition of the players were different, so it wasn't the same game or the same approach, but it was fun to watch. 03:39:48.640 --> 03:39:55.640 Last year, Umchi was a jungler, but this year, because I was there, I thought I was sitting in the first set. 03:39:55.640 --> 03:39:58.640 We can't stop talking about this set. 03:39:58.640 --> 03:40:04.560 So without a set, Lee Sin won this game. 03:40:04.560 --> 03:40:06.520 Lee Sin is the real God. 03:40:06.520 --> 03:40:11.440 This year, Lee Sin of Jose Diodes also won the LCS season. 03:40:11.440 --> 03:40:15.880 How many points do you want to give Lee Sin today? 03:40:15.880 --> 03:40:19.680 Now we have to talk about your game to Lee Sin, which was Godlike. 03:40:19.680 --> 03:40:23.200 And Lee is still undefeated in the LCS season as well. 03:40:23.200 --> 03:40:26.600 On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate it? 03:40:26.600 --> 03:40:34.280 I don't know, I think today I didn't play like normally, maybe an A from what I used to see on my game 03:40:34.280 --> 03:40:38.400 because I think if that was a normal game I would just like finish in 20 minutes 03:40:38.400 --> 03:40:42.140 but I think the nerves were like who I'm excited because I'm so played and I can 1v9 03:40:42.140 --> 03:40:46.280 but then I ran out of it. So yeah, I was thinking maybe an A 03:40:46.280 --> 03:40:50.040 but I think overall when I have a good game I can go to like 9 or 10 sometimes 03:40:50.040 --> 03:40:55.360 but it depends sort of on the comp because I like to take leasing on certain spots 03:40:55.360 --> 03:40:57.360 and I think today was really good so yeah. 03:41:25.360 --> 03:41:31.960 They say they have a 10-point advantage, but in Lee Sin's case, he has a counter-match that he prefers. 03:41:31.960 --> 03:41:36.860 He said that he feels like Lee Sin is a very good pick for a specific match or a specific match, 03:41:36.860 --> 03:41:39.460 but today's match was also a part of that. 03:41:39.460 --> 03:41:43.960 And recently, a player that I respect in the survey, Insec. 03:41:43.960 --> 03:41:48.460 Let's see what Insec has done to the player's heart. 03:41:55.360 --> 03:42:01.920 Well, when I was younger, you know, League was a game that when mechanics were like super 03:42:01.920 --> 03:42:02.920 low. 03:42:02.920 --> 03:42:06.640 So when somebody did something like INSEC, it was like really like exciting to watch. 03:42:06.640 --> 03:42:12.520 So back then when I was like 14, I remember, I think I remember watching him playing Fiddlesticks 03:42:12.520 --> 03:42:13.520 in Worlds. 03:42:13.520 --> 03:42:18.720 I think it was in semifinals against, I don't remember the team, but I don't know, I realized 03:42:18.720 --> 03:42:22.040 he was playing Fiddlesticks, but he also played Lee Sin and I followed him throughout the 03:42:22.040 --> 03:42:23.200 tournament. 03:42:23.200 --> 03:42:28.200 I really like his game style and how he played the games and since I was younger, you know, every mechanic that I see was like crazy. 03:42:28.200 --> 03:42:36.200 So, I don't know, I really love insects when I was younger and he really made me play listen throughout my career, so yeah. 03:42:36.200 --> 03:42:38.200 What should we ask that excuse please today? 03:42:38.200 --> 03:42:40.200 Maybe. I hope. 03:42:53.200 --> 03:43:03.200 And the most memorable thing at that time was the physicality of Insects, not only that, but he also showed the best of himself in the world. 03:43:03.200 --> 03:43:06.200 And every time he showed such a splendid appearance, I thought, wow, he's doing so well. 03:43:06.200 --> 03:43:12.200 And thanks to Insects' performance, he's been able to improve. 03:43:12.200 --> 03:43:17.200 So I asked him if he thought he was as good as Insects. 03:43:17.200 --> 03:43:20.000 I think it's going to be the same level. 03:43:20.000 --> 03:43:29.240 Then, I would like to ask Insec to ask him if he could shout out with Insec. 03:43:29.240 --> 03:43:32.760 I think Insec must be really happy watching this interview. 03:43:32.760 --> 03:43:36.560 Would you like to give him a shout out while doing the iconic Insec kick? 03:43:36.560 --> 03:43:39.000 Yeah, like a hit. Cool. Thank you, Insec. 03:43:41.520 --> 03:43:43.040 Amazing. 03:43:43.040 --> 03:43:47.280 Now, it's time for the final round of the bracket stage tomorrow. 03:43:47.280 --> 03:43:51.840 Let's see which part of the team is the most important for the team to meet again. 03:44:13.040 --> 03:44:18.040 But we know that they're the highest or the hardest team in this plane. 03:44:18.040 --> 03:44:22.040 So, yeah, we just have to have a good day and we have to keep going through our tempo and wish we fun. 03:44:43.040 --> 03:44:46.040 If you do, you might get good results. 03:44:46.040 --> 03:44:49.540 This has been Team Liquid Alienware's Jose Diodo. 03:44:49.540 --> 03:44:51.540 Thank you very much and good luck tomorrow. 03:44:51.540 --> 03:44:52.540 Thank you. 03:44:59.040 --> 03:45:02.540 Thank you so much, Jisun and Jose Diodo. I love the shout out to Insect. 03:45:02.540 --> 03:45:05.540 But of course, we are now joined by the victorious spawn, 03:45:05.540 --> 03:45:07.040 who told us that he was undefeated. 03:45:07.040 --> 03:45:09.040 Who told us that he would win the slow clap? 03:45:09.040 --> 03:45:12.040 I think it's a fast clap. Why do we need a slow clap? 03:45:12.040 --> 03:45:13.040 Good job. 03:45:13.040 --> 03:45:14.040 Let's go! 03:45:14.040 --> 03:45:15.040 Bro! 03:45:15.040 --> 03:45:16.040 Oh my god. 03:45:16.040 --> 03:45:17.040 That's my goat! 03:45:17.040 --> 03:45:20.040 That was a good Solid High 5-2. 03:45:20.040 --> 03:45:21.040 Yeah, sorry, Drake. 03:45:21.040 --> 03:45:22.040 I thought we had to do you like that. 03:45:22.040 --> 03:45:23.040 I know. 03:45:23.040 --> 03:45:24.040 You don't have to hold back. 03:45:24.040 --> 03:45:25.040 Don't hold back on my account. 03:45:25.040 --> 03:45:26.040 I need you to tell me, tell it like it is. 03:45:26.040 --> 03:45:29.440 I mean, I did tell everyone that I have never lost to Europe because I haven't had the honor 03:45:29.440 --> 03:45:30.440 of playing G2. 03:45:30.440 --> 03:45:34.680 So that's the goal, to get the G2 matchup because that's like, when I first took over 03:45:34.680 --> 03:45:38.680 as head coach, I said like, we want to build team Liquid into a dynasty like G2 is in Europe. 03:45:38.680 --> 03:45:39.680 Yeah, it's always been the goal. 03:45:39.680 --> 03:45:41.040 I think so far I'm not doing that. 03:45:41.040 --> 03:45:45.320 So let's not get too ahead of us, but we haven't lost to anyone else from Europe and didn't plan on doing it today. 03:45:45.320 --> 03:45:50.220 Yeah, well, I mean, you guys played really well. One thing I really wanted to ask you about is we were just talking about this a bit, but like, 03:45:50.220 --> 03:45:55.860 I feel as though Morgan NNA had been playing just like, he's been playing well, but he hasn't been dominating. 03:45:55.860 --> 03:45:58.760 He's been playing more weak side, kind of playing tanks and so on. 03:45:59.560 --> 03:46:05.900 What has happened from him to NNA from him here? You know, it's like Doran, he's chain solo killing Doran. 03:46:05.900 --> 03:46:09.300 He's solo killing Con after he's cheese level one and a counter matchup. 03:46:09.300 --> 03:46:11.700 Like this guy is playing the team fights insane. 03:46:11.700 --> 03:46:12.860 Like what has happened? 03:46:12.860 --> 03:46:14.540 He is just playing with so much confidence. 03:46:14.540 --> 03:46:16.820 Yeah, I think we had this issue when we brought the team together 03:46:16.820 --> 03:46:18.700 as everyone was like, oh, yonking Harry. 03:46:18.700 --> 03:46:19.980 And then yon saying, oh, but quid, 03:46:19.980 --> 03:46:22.140 when I played against him on 100 Thieves, he was a huge carry. 03:46:22.140 --> 03:46:24.580 And Morgan's like, you know, this is how I'm known to play the game 03:46:24.580 --> 03:46:25.860 as more a supporting role. 03:46:25.860 --> 03:46:28.100 And I think that even though we were super talented, 03:46:28.100 --> 03:46:29.900 we were just doing just enough to do our job 03:46:29.900 --> 03:46:31.300 and then expecting it to come together. 03:46:31.300 --> 03:46:32.860 But we've had a lot of conversations 03:46:32.860 --> 03:46:35.660 about breaking those molds and just if you can take over a game, 03:46:35.660 --> 03:46:36.860 just take over a game. 03:46:36.860 --> 03:46:38.620 There was even a time in Jose's Leasing game 03:46:38.620 --> 03:46:40.620 where Quid was like, Hey, why don't you give me that kill? 03:46:40.620 --> 03:46:44.680 And he's like, just get on the train, buddy, shut up and get on the train. 03:46:44.680 --> 03:46:45.820 Like I'm taking this one home. 03:46:45.820 --> 03:46:47.720 So that has to be everyone's mentality. 03:46:47.720 --> 03:46:49.960 Like if you have an opportunity to carry again, you got to pop off. 03:46:49.960 --> 03:46:51.880 And I think Morgan's doing that really well. 03:46:51.880 --> 03:46:56.320 I feel like in the T1 series, you had really good preparation, good drafts, good game plan, 03:46:56.520 --> 03:46:59.680 but just weren't able to get over the finish line, especially in like that game too. 03:47:00.080 --> 03:47:02.960 How would you feel about going into the rematch against them? 03:47:02.960 --> 03:47:07.420 And how would you feel about how you, what were the failings for the team in the first match up? 03:47:07.420 --> 03:47:18.820 Yeah, I mean, arguably, if you look at our international history with this roster, T1 is actually our rival, like MSI were able to take a game, EWC, we arguably should have beaten them, up 6,500 gold in the deciding matchup. 03:47:18.820 --> 03:47:31.420 Yesterday, a couple of days ago, it felt like we really let ourselves down, because like we were so prepared for them, and I think that the reality is when you play these teams, we've watched 100 times more VODs of T1 than T1 has watched of TL. 03:47:31.420 --> 03:47:37.060 So we should be super prepared and we should know what's happening and you know game to I think we should have won that game 03:47:37.060 --> 03:47:40.020 But we let it slip and then game three we could have won that game 03:47:40.020 --> 03:47:44.660 So to not convert either of them it just really felt like we let us out down and we're super hungry because of it 03:47:44.700 --> 03:47:47.980 So I know you're not the on-stage drafting coach now 03:47:47.980 --> 03:47:52.140 But talk to me a bit about drafting because I feel like everyone I've talked to has been very impressed with your preparation 03:47:52.140 --> 03:47:57.220 Not only against T1 but also here you guys are going in with a lot of the different looks 03:47:57.220 --> 03:47:57.500 You know 03:47:57.500 --> 03:48:01.060 I remember we had talked at one point in NA and you had talked about how you know 03:48:01.060 --> 03:48:05.820 We just need to get us a 50-50 draft because we have good players and like then we're expected to win from there 03:48:05.820 --> 03:48:08.200 Yeah, you're bringing out yasuo mid yasuo top 03:48:08.200 --> 03:48:12.700 You're bringing out Olaf in situations where we haven't seen it from you before you're bringing out the mages bot 03:48:12.700 --> 03:48:17.820 You guys feel like you've unlocked a new level of flexibility. So kind of talk to me about what's going on there 03:48:17.820 --> 03:48:20.740 Yeah, 100% you know credit to Spooks when I bought him on this year 03:48:20.740 --> 03:48:26.060 I thought that drafting is one of his strengths and then his job is to really prepare our drafts and what we want to do 03:48:26.060 --> 03:48:30.220 And then my job is to tell the team what the enemy is going to draft in response to that 03:48:30.220 --> 03:48:34.300 So for example, I knew yeah, who was going to play the interview today. It's something that he's been really famous for 03:48:34.300 --> 03:48:36.900 So we have to have a pick in mind for that coming into the draft 03:48:36.900 --> 03:48:39.060 So I think it's working really well at this tournament 03:48:39.060 --> 03:48:42.460 I think that our spooks and haytham are going above and beyond in their preparation 03:48:42.460 --> 03:48:46.340 And I think that this is something that the flexibility and you know 03:48:46.340 --> 03:48:48.620 I can't play for it a little bit but that enjoyment of the game 03:48:48.620 --> 03:48:52.620 It's like if it's a time to play Yasuo, we should not be like oh no one else plays Yasuo 03:48:52.620 --> 03:48:54.540 I was like, I just picked the Yasua. 03:48:54.540 --> 03:48:55.380 Morgan played at top. 03:48:55.380 --> 03:48:56.340 We've played at mid now. 03:48:56.340 --> 03:48:57.980 This is something that we want to be known for. 03:48:57.980 --> 03:48:59.060 There's a couple more picks coming, 03:48:59.060 --> 03:49:00.580 so hopefully we get to show them off. 03:49:00.580 --> 03:49:03.020 Oh, a couple more picks coming. 03:49:03.020 --> 03:49:05.660 Yeah, I'm ready to see that kind of diversity, 03:49:05.660 --> 03:49:08.260 but I'm curious for you, you've already had this series 03:49:08.260 --> 03:49:09.340 against T1 where you showed good looks, 03:49:09.340 --> 03:49:10.460 but the transition wasn't quite there. 03:49:10.460 --> 03:49:12.980 Super dominant series, kind of as expected against DCG. 03:49:12.980 --> 03:49:16.140 And now this KC series, which I think was far and away 03:49:16.140 --> 03:49:18.180 more one-sided than most fans would have expected, 03:49:18.180 --> 03:49:21.060 what do you credit to the rapid growth and performance 03:49:21.060 --> 03:49:21.900 at this tournament? 03:49:21.900 --> 03:49:25.260 comfortable on the stage is it more that there were just a couple fumbles here and 03:49:25.260 --> 03:49:28.180 there on the first day why are we seeing this it feels like the acceleration 03:49:28.180 --> 03:49:31.340 for TL you mentioned the Morgan performance how what is making it all 03:49:31.340 --> 03:49:34.380 come together here you think we have a different definition of like what the 03:49:34.380 --> 03:49:38.020 expected results are I don't think North America has lost to a non G2 European 03:49:38.020 --> 03:49:42.220 team in a couple of years so I think we came into the game against them in MSI 03:49:42.220 --> 03:49:46.620 I'm not more concerned about the 3-0 I'm not afraid to lose but the 3-0 03:49:46.620 --> 03:49:51.060 we also swiped fanatic when we played them at AWC didn't we also would bait them 03:49:51.060 --> 03:49:54.540 like candidly when we played against them. Flakmusses have their number as well. Lyons 03:49:54.540 --> 03:50:00.220 look pretty good. So I just think right now outside of G2, NA is better than Europe. And 03:50:00.220 --> 03:50:03.700 I think that now we have to prove that we can go with the big boys as well. The thing 03:50:03.700 --> 03:50:07.500 that I admire so much about G2 is they have taken that next step. When they play against 03:50:07.500 --> 03:50:12.140 the number one and number two seats from LCK and LPL that you think that they could be 03:50:12.140 --> 03:50:15.060 the favorites in this series. And that's what we've got to start doing. So, you know, Lyon 03:50:15.060 --> 03:50:18.100 got to get on their bike and we got to do it for the LCS. I always say, when we play 03:50:18.100 --> 03:50:21.060 these series now we got to take all of this back to the lcs and level our 03:50:21.060 --> 03:50:24.580 region up and restore that pride that's all the players are trying to do that's 03:50:24.580 --> 03:50:27.700 all what the coaches are trying to do we want people to think that you're speaking 03:50:27.700 --> 03:50:31.700 to my heart I mean there's not a lot to add after that there's an inspirational 03:50:31.700 --> 03:50:34.900 message I'm glad as a caveat I get a little bit of g2 in there is a little 03:50:34.900 --> 03:50:37.940 bit of copium but that's kind of the thing that I want you know for my 03:50:37.940 --> 03:50:40.980 entirety my region too I don't want to be the one one team region but glad to 03:50:40.980 --> 03:50:44.900 have the one team this is at least leading the way a technical example 03:50:44.900 --> 03:50:46.900 You're gonna play a little bit better one man 03:50:46.900 --> 03:50:50.500 He probably could not have played better because he just played so fantastic he was other day 03:50:50.500 --> 03:50:55.440 We heard an interview but in her hyper X replay those I chose once again why his leason keeps getting banned against 03:50:57.020 --> 03:51:02.740 Yeah, I mean the kids afraid on leason like I actually was watching his videos in the off-season 03:51:02.740 --> 03:51:04.500 I was like oh my goodness 03:51:04.500 --> 03:51:11.000 He's leason is actually next level and he has such an aura of confidence on himself when he plays every single fight 03:51:11.000 --> 03:51:14.900 He's like I'm going to do this and I'm going to do this in 60 seconds match my tempo 03:51:14.900 --> 03:51:18.240 We will win the game and everyone just aligns with it and makes the game so easy 03:51:18.240 --> 03:51:22.780 And I think one of the things I love watching is that he forces the fights right? 03:51:22.780 --> 03:51:25.100 He does not wait for them to come to him when he gets an advantage 03:51:25.100 --> 03:51:26.860 He's playing in the opponent's face all the time 03:51:26.980 --> 03:51:32.780 This is one of the only times I have felt like as an LCS pundit watching a player where I don't need to give a 03:51:32.780 --> 03:51:36.380 Qualifier on how good they are like he is one of the best leases in the world period right? 03:51:36.380 --> 03:51:37.580 It's not like in the league 03:51:37.580 --> 03:51:42.180 It's not in the West in the world period. This guy is just different on this champion 03:51:42.180 --> 03:51:45.560 Yeah, and I mean he's confidence level and understanding on how to win the game with it as well 03:51:45.560 --> 03:51:50.480 It's just on that next level so every player I feel like gets to probe with that thing and sometimes they lose it 03:51:50.480 --> 03:51:53.860 So, you know, quit on rise Jose on Lee sin like young on Varus 03:51:53.860 --> 03:51:57.180 I think is one of those big swing varuses in the middle. Um, so I think that you know 03:51:57.980 --> 03:52:00.840 Core on the count can't leave that one out. You want a world's championship with it 03:52:00.840 --> 03:52:05.700 But there's these champions are these players that have these champions if they are open 03:52:05.700 --> 03:52:07.900 and you just listen to them and they can win you the game. 03:52:07.900 --> 03:52:09.660 I feel like that's a big thing with Fearless. 03:52:09.660 --> 03:52:10.700 Also being in plays, 03:52:10.700 --> 03:52:12.380 that you only get like one chance at a series, 03:52:12.380 --> 03:52:13.380 just to play it out. 03:52:13.380 --> 03:52:14.460 How do you feel like that impacts 03:52:14.460 --> 03:52:16.380 and like trusting your players that the confidence 03:52:16.380 --> 03:52:18.540 this is the spot, but we want to bring it out? 03:52:18.540 --> 03:52:20.060 Yeah, I mean, it's really fun to be honest, 03:52:20.060 --> 03:52:21.580 because like, you know, 03:52:21.580 --> 03:52:23.260 I've actually made this mistake before 03:52:23.260 --> 03:52:25.140 where like teams open the suite against you 03:52:25.140 --> 03:52:27.060 and you just pick your best champion ever roll 03:52:27.060 --> 03:52:28.380 and then you show up to the second game draft 03:52:28.380 --> 03:52:29.740 and you're like, ah, now what? 03:52:29.740 --> 03:52:32.660 So you kind of falls off a cliff from there. 03:52:32.660 --> 03:52:33.740 And I think credit to teams, 03:52:33.740 --> 03:52:35.500 they've gotten much better at like, 03:52:35.500 --> 03:52:38.000 If this person plays, you know, Ezia really well. 03:52:38.000 --> 03:52:39.760 Okay, well, I'm gonna get my midlaner to the point 03:52:39.760 --> 03:52:42.080 where he can actually take it away game one. 03:52:42.080 --> 03:52:43.200 You know, give us a fighting chance 03:52:43.200 --> 03:52:44.360 and then they lose one of their weapons 03:52:44.360 --> 03:52:45.200 for the rest of the series. 03:52:45.200 --> 03:52:46.640 So, fearless and super fun as a coach 03:52:46.640 --> 03:52:48.560 and something you have to take into account a lot. 03:52:48.560 --> 03:52:50.720 Something I'm really looking forward to seeing tomorrow, 03:52:50.720 --> 03:52:51.560 I think. 03:52:51.560 --> 03:52:52.960 Well, wait, I don't wanna do predictions yet. 03:52:52.960 --> 03:52:54.280 The team liquid victory, me too. 03:52:54.280 --> 03:52:56.000 Team liquid victory, that's what I'm looking forward to. 03:52:56.000 --> 03:52:57.920 At this point, I do actually want that. 03:52:57.920 --> 03:52:59.920 And I could, it wipes away the pain and the shame. 03:52:59.920 --> 03:53:00.880 Like, maybe you do one, of course, 03:53:00.880 --> 03:53:01.720 they were just naturally counting. 03:53:01.720 --> 03:53:02.560 They're just the goats. 03:53:02.560 --> 03:53:05.120 Oh, team one who you also don't look good like. 03:53:05.120 --> 03:53:08.020 All right, Ox, you can pass the house, okay, you have a fun thing. 03:53:08.020 --> 03:53:10.420 Well, here we get to take one final look at the bracket. 03:53:10.420 --> 03:53:12.740 Kasey now eliminated alongside DCG, 03:53:12.740 --> 03:53:16.340 T1, the last two teams remaining. 03:53:16.340 --> 03:53:19.740 And we'll just have to see tomorrow how it unfolds. 03:53:19.740 --> 03:53:22.620 But I'm definitely feeling a lot more optimistic after the first series, 03:53:22.620 --> 03:53:23.580 there was some skepticism. 03:53:23.580 --> 03:53:24.900 But coming into the second series, 03:53:24.900 --> 03:53:26.660 I'm feeling pretty good about T1. 03:53:26.660 --> 03:53:28.980 And look, we know we have a huge journey ahead of us. 03:53:28.980 --> 03:53:31.220 Like, we're confident going into the series 03:53:31.220 --> 03:53:32.660 because we did play well versus them. 03:53:32.660 --> 03:53:36.340 but this is a team that is the greatest organization in League of Legends history, 03:53:36.340 --> 03:53:39.860 and they have some of the greatest players in League of Legends history on there as well. 03:53:39.860 --> 03:53:43.140 But we have to make sure that we respect them enough that we know that we need to play well, 03:53:43.140 --> 03:53:45.540 but then we need to go out there and actually play well and do ourselves proud. 03:53:45.540 --> 03:53:47.140 So that's what the goal is tomorrow. 03:53:47.140 --> 03:53:49.380 And if you can kill their Nexus once, which we've done in the past, 03:53:49.380 --> 03:53:50.980 no reason you can't do it three times in a day, 03:53:50.980 --> 03:53:52.660 you just need to make sure that you play really, really well. 03:53:52.660 --> 03:53:54.660 So that's where the confidence is coming from, but it's hard. 03:53:54.660 --> 03:53:58.660 I feel like an additional thing is obviously when we saw that only be one team coming out of play-ins, 03:53:58.660 --> 03:54:00.420 for every other team in T1, that was a lot of pressure. 03:54:00.420 --> 03:54:06.720 but also now for them, if it was two teams making out, T1 would have already qualified and they now don't have Double or Limb, 03:54:06.720 --> 03:54:11.180 which is, I noticed the team that performs really well under pressure, but there's the chance to take them down here. 03:54:11.680 --> 03:54:15.800 Yeah, there is. That is true. There is a chance to take them down here and we've got to play well to do it. 03:54:15.800 --> 03:54:23.760 They do get from the upper bracket. I really like what Riot has done at the moment for upper bracket, actually giving you both side and pick select for the time being, 03:54:23.760 --> 03:54:29.160 because it actually feels like coming through the upper bracket has like meaningful impact, whereas in the past it hasn't necessarily always been the case. 03:54:29.160 --> 03:54:31.440 So game one is going to be an uphill battle for us. 03:54:31.440 --> 03:54:34.280 I think Blue side for us because like 58% win rate 03:54:34.280 --> 03:54:35.120 or something like that. 03:54:35.120 --> 03:54:36.600 So they get that in game number one 03:54:36.600 --> 03:54:38.320 and we have to try and take it away from them afterwards. 03:54:38.320 --> 03:54:39.160 This is a tall task. 03:54:39.160 --> 03:54:40.400 I just can't wait to see how it unfolds 03:54:40.400 --> 03:54:42.480 and I can't wait to see what some of those new picks are 03:54:42.480 --> 03:54:43.480 if you've been talking about. 03:54:43.480 --> 03:54:45.040 We'll see if we actually get to see them on stage 03:54:45.040 --> 03:54:46.680 for tomorrow, but that's going to be it for us here today. 03:54:46.680 --> 03:54:49.800 Back tomorrow with T1 versus Team Liquid Alienware 03:54:49.800 --> 03:54:52.600 game start at 10 AM CEST, 1 AM PST. 03:54:52.600 --> 03:54:53.680 That's enough from us here. 03:54:53.680 --> 03:54:54.680 We'll see you guys tomorrow. 03:54:54.680 --> 03:54:55.520 See you then. 03:55:29.160 --> 03:55:32.780 ehehehehehehehehehehe Hehehehehehehehe 03:55:33.960 --> 03:55:34.460 oh
