No, because they had the Kiana with the Cassiopeia 48:03.380 --> 48:07.100 But it is a blue side steal though, you got that one right? 48:07.100 --> 48:09.900 Okay, okay, okay, got bless those adiodos. 48:09.900 --> 48:10.900 It's your team! 48:10.900 --> 48:11.900 I should notice! 48:11.900 --> 48:12.900 I should notice? 48:12.900 --> 48:18.580 I think the Q1 vs Team Liquid painted my view of anyone winning my fight from Team Liquid 48:18.580 --> 48:19.580 side. 48:19.580 --> 48:20.580 But yeah, okay, alright, alright, alright. 48:20.580 --> 48:22.180 You know I've failed, I'll still take the win. 48:22.180 --> 48:23.180 That's still one point, you get it. 48:23.180 --> 48:28.180 Seconds might fight we have here, not a neutral, yeah, you're f***ed. 48:28.180 --> 48:29.180 Sorry. 48:29.180 --> 48:31.180 This is Q1 KC. 48:31.180 --> 48:39.720 That is the invade at the first few minutes that did not go the way of KC who are the red team and it's owner responded with the blue 48:49.140 --> 48:54.780 Securing the red buff third one we have let's go. Oh my god.

We can stay happy because even though the Smites didn't go his way against Barnard last time, 51:00.520 --> 51:04.020 Jose de Odo had an amazing MSI so far. We saw the listing yesterday, 51:04.020 --> 51:07.620 but I feel like he's been popping off left and right ever since the start of the tournament. 51:07.620 --> 51:09.720 Did you expect him to be that good, Raz? 51:09.720 --> 51:16.820 Not at all. It's funny because personally, I believe he should have gotten MVP for the split that he had during the regular season in North America. 51:16.820 --> 51:22.920 But he's somebody that comes on stage and he talks about how he's just trying to play with no pressure, like it's any other game. 51:22.920 --> 51:26.320 And usually when someone says that I was like, okay, I'll see it before I believe it. 51:26.320 --> 51:32.720 And I've been seeing someone who is just in flow state constantly and performing really well in an international stage. 51:32.720 --> 51:37.220 So yeah, I think the performance that we have seen, I did not expect and I love it. 51:37.220 --> 51:42.420 And it looked his adaptation over the course of this, the couple of series he's had as well, especially against T1 last time. 51:42.420 --> 51:45.220 Because he got to shut down a twin of those plays in the bottom lane. 51:45.220 --> 51:48.220 He was constantly adapting to what owner was trying to do. 51:48.220 --> 51:52.420 And then it kind of came into these skirmishes where it really felt like Jose Dioto was taking over. 51:52.420 --> 51:57.380 And I love that he had like some of the counter picks available like the poppy like he has some of these cool picks 51:57.380 --> 51:59.260 We got to see the leasing from him yesterday 51:59.260 --> 52:03.180 It felt like Jose de Oda was really popping off and against someone like owner 52:03.380 --> 52:08.100 You have to be able to control that bottoms out of the map because you know that's where he's gonna play 52:08.100 --> 52:12.940 Whoa, whoa, whoa bring that what bring that screen back up. Don't look at this 52:16.020 --> 52:18.020 Out to get us okay 52:18.020 --> 52:21.140 Today is a new day! We don't need that negativity. 52:21.140 --> 52:22.640 It's a European production, okay? 52:22.640 --> 52:24.140 Exactly what it is, right? 52:25.140 --> 52:29.300 But if you're not going to get the neutral objectives, maybe you can get control elsewhere against C1. 52:29.300 --> 52:30.800 What are we looking at here for him? 52:30.800 --> 52:36.980 God, I feel like there are so many things that were happening that were not really giving me a lot of positivity. 52:36.980 --> 52:41.540 I will say, from Jose the other side, I just love the fact that there's some creativity in the draft. 52:41.540 --> 52:43.300 Like, I've been enjoying that part. 52:43.300 --> 52:46.340 Yeah, and I love again that he's been able to play so heavily around that bottom side, 52:46.340 --> 52:49.020 because I think that was where, especially in Game 2, 52:49.020 --> 52:51.180 they were able to do a lot of work against T1. 52:51.180 --> 52:52.300 And I kind of wanted to break it down 52:52.300 --> 52:54.660 because I think he worked really well with Core JJ 52:54.660 --> 52:55.820 coming into that game. 52:55.820 --> 53:00.300 And I think Core JJ, along with Jose Diodo, was exemplary. 53:00.300 --> 53:02.220 But really, I want to highlight what Core JJ 53:02.220 --> 53:05.460 was able to achieve, because his Nautilus in that Game 2 53:05.460 --> 53:06.620 was absolutely spectacular. 53:06.620 --> 53:09.060 So on your screen, you can see that T1 went for this invade 53:09.060 --> 53:11.260 in the bottom side, in the end of catching Jose Diodo 53:11.260 --> 53:11.940 as he came across. 53:11.940 --> 53:13.580 He's just burned Flash, and now they 53:13.580 --> 53:14.940 want to try and follow up with this. 53:14.940 --> 53:16.260 But as we start to play it out, I 53:16.260 --> 53:22.400 I wanted you to keep your eyes on how CoreJJ ends up playing this fight because it's instrumental to blowing this game open in front of the team Liquid. 53:22.400 --> 53:28.780 So as we get this initial engage, you can see that basically what T1 want to do is try and jump on towards the backline of Team Liquid. 53:28.780 --> 53:37.620 But immediately you get this play coming through from CoreJJ, where he ends up hitting Vi with that hook, so he interrupts the Q that's coming through. 53:37.620 --> 53:46.000 He completely ignores Carrier and will then immediately slam another Ultimate on towards Paze, which then shuts down any sort of follow-up that's coming through. 53:46.000 --> 53:48.000 And at this stage, Team Liquid kind of realized, 53:48.000 --> 53:51.040 okay, we have this big ultimate that's come across the front of us, 53:51.040 --> 53:53.920 and what we want to do is play back up into this choke point, 53:53.920 --> 53:57.280 because if we can get T1 into this sort of position with this Taliyah, 53:57.280 --> 54:00.400 who's starting to come down from the top side, we can actually play with this fight. 54:01.120 --> 54:04.800 But again, watch how patient Khorjhaj is in this, 54:04.800 --> 54:08.320 because at the moment he has both the lockers and this heal up and available, 54:08.320 --> 54:09.680 which you could throw at him, easily think, 54:09.680 --> 54:12.800 okay, we're going into the fight, we're about to take a lot of damage from Kheri as ult, 54:12.800 --> 54:14.240 but he's patient with us. 54:14.240 --> 54:18.080 and you'll see now in just a moment as this engage comes through and he gets knocked to the side. 54:18.080 --> 54:24.400 Watch there, he immediately gets the heel onto Jose Dioto, pops the locket there as well, 54:24.400 --> 54:29.760 which is onto Jose Dioto, and that is the one thing that keeps Jose Dioto alive because now 54:29.760 --> 54:35.200 he's able to run up into this position which draws T1 deeper again into this choke point, 54:35.200 --> 54:39.680 and it's going to be Paze who's trying to follow up in this play that actually gets clipped by 54:39.680 --> 54:43.680 and then the Unraveled Earth is here, just there. 54:43.680 --> 54:45.680 He gets stunned, Paze tries to then follow up, 54:45.680 --> 54:48.680 and immediately, Core JJ with this monster hook 54:48.680 --> 54:53.680 that defined the play, set up Team Liquid for this play, 54:53.680 --> 54:56.680 where they get the kill, and sure he dies in the end, 54:56.680 --> 54:58.680 but it's the understanding by Core JJ in this fight up, 54:58.680 --> 55:01.680 who the targets need to be, how to interrupt T1, 55:01.680 --> 55:03.680 where to position in the fight, 55:03.680 --> 55:06.680 and crucial cooldowns that really blew the game open for Team Liquid. 55:06.680 --> 55:09.760 from for team liquid. I feel like this international event I love that highlight 55:09.760 --> 55:13.000 has been amazing for Corday J because domestically there's been a few 55:13.000 --> 55:15.700 question marks on the bot lane as a whole but for sure from Corday J who's 55:15.700 --> 55:19.920 like in his peak moments in his career can really control the map and team 55:19.920 --> 55:22.480 fights like those the fact that we're seeing that alongside a lot of the 55:22.480 --> 55:25.560 positives of the rest of the map in team liquid that do give me hope so you know 55:25.560 --> 55:28.740 what I wasn't I was kind of negative on the 3v3 spot side I was kind of negative 55:28.740 --> 55:31.400 a lot of things happening in team liquid not after watching that. I love how we're trying to 55:31.400 --> 55:35.400 convince Raz that he's gonna be okay. Thank you. 55:35.400 --> 55:45.400 He's been here forever, he played against multiple iterations of T1 and actually we caught up with him yesterday after the game and ahead of the ones he's going to have today, so let's check out what he has to say. 55:48.400 --> 55:54.400 In any situation, they will keep trying to find a way to win the game. I think that was really big. 55:55.400 --> 56:03.400 They think about how to win the game and never stop thinking about it, so I think that's really hard for an enemy team to finish the game. 56:03.400 --> 56:11.160 the game. I will try my best to get stronger individually to match how Karriea played. 56:11.160 --> 56:16.840 Some of the play he's making was really impressive. Yeah, I try to do the same thing as him. 56:19.560 --> 56:24.040 Try and do the same thing Karriea is doing. That is a tough thing to do. 56:24.040 --> 56:27.320 Yeah, especially if he has rusted old man hands. 56:27.320 --> 56:30.440 I was going to say Karriea's mechanics are insane. I don't know if you're, 56:30.440 --> 56:35.120 Don't know many people who are able to do that. I do think one thing that gives me a lot of hope from team liquid side 56:35.120 --> 56:38.320 I'll start with like the top side of the map because the last time we saw this matchup 56:38.320 --> 56:39.920 I felt like Morgan did 56:39.920 --> 56:42.920 Incredibly well versus Doran and it also was the same case for Kanna 56:42.920 --> 56:49.080 I know that like I think from the one side from T1 that we've been seeing a weakness from is the early laning phase from Doran 56:49.080 --> 56:54.480 I will say he doesn't get a lot of the draft resources the lowest in terms of counter pick rate and a lot of that resources go towards 56:54.480 --> 56:58.800 The bot side of the map, but and but you could see he's not doing well with it 56:58.800 --> 57:02.640 Yeah, but it's also Morgan has kind of been on a tear. 57:02.640 --> 57:08.800 Yeah, he's solo killed both the Korean top laners that we had him against and had an amazing time against Doran. 57:08.800 --> 57:15.800 And I do think it kind of speaks a lot to him as he started to shift away from what he was known as domestically on all these kind of tanks and kind of being that weak side into, 57:15.800 --> 57:20.300 No, I'm going to play the Yasuo. I'm going to play the Rumble. I want to be a carry. And he's been stepping up massive things. 57:20.300 --> 57:27.800 One thing I'm concerned about though, all these things I'm saying about the early landing phase, Doran when he gets some of these later game team fights have been on tear against us. 57:27.800 --> 57:31.600 I mean that's the thing you look at Doran and often you're gonna be like yeah sure 57:31.600 --> 57:35.480 He might be one of the weaknesses for someone but for me he carries his name so well 57:35.480 --> 57:38.960 He's the shield for this team. He's the guy who no matter what happens 57:38.960 --> 57:41.240 Even if he underperforms he doesn't get any attention 57:41.240 --> 57:46.560 He doesn't get any counter picks but he's gonna be able to protect his team and actually find ways back into the game 57:46.560 --> 57:50.480 So how much do you want to bet on this early laning phase for Morgan here? 57:50.720 --> 57:52.720 How impactful is that gonna be? 57:52.720 --> 57:53.960 Not as impactful, not as impactful 57:53.960 --> 57:59.960 I still think about that Gragas, like a flank that he had versus Team Liquid, where he just kind of won them the game. 57:59.960 --> 58:00.960 So I'm worried. 58:00.960 --> 58:03.960 But it's even in that game too that we just broke down our TL for to open the game. 58:03.960 --> 58:09.960 It was then dorm with this insane public execution that kind of won the fight then for Team 1 later on in the series. 58:09.960 --> 58:15.960 So it just feels like you can kind of put the man down, but it's so hard to keep him down, which I think speaks volumes to Dora. 58:15.960 --> 58:20.960 Listen, I feel like a lot of fans, if you watch LCK, you know it, there's something called the T1 Circus. 58:20.960 --> 58:25.320 And I know we shouldn't be talking about this too much, but I'm just saying that there's avenues into this game 58:25.320 --> 58:27.320 I do think that we had 58:28.000 --> 58:30.440 Good elements when they played against team one last time 58:30.440 --> 58:36.140 Is there any aspect you want them to see improve upon since the last time they faced off against them? 58:36.140 --> 58:38.140 What are we looking at here from the T1 side? 58:39.880 --> 58:46.020 Those team fights like Paze is just always gonna try and find windows small windows to get back into the game from team liquid 58:46.020 --> 58:48.300 They need to be a lot more consistent with the lead that they have 58:48.300 --> 58:54.260 I think as well just trying to solidify that bottom lane like the male cameo kind of lose the game open in game one if you 58:54.260 --> 58:56.340 Can try and get rid of some of these picks maybe in the band phase 58:56.340 --> 59:00.080 Hope that then you can be a little bit better prepared and maybe that game doesn't run away 59:00.580 --> 59:06.260 100% like I think the early prep from T1 team liquid has been great right yeah game one their early level one prep was 59:06.260 --> 59:11.140 Phenomenal and then the team might tap in and guess who's winning a lot of the small skirmishes. It's T1 59:11.180 --> 59:13.860 So like the early mechanics is just great from that team 59:13.860 --> 59:16.660 I think the prep is on point from team liquid just need to see better team fighting 59:16.660 --> 59:22.740 Let's check out what the fans think here with the mastercard fan prediction. I think it's gonna be very one-sided 59:22.740 --> 59:25.060 But still still I want to be I want to see who hopes 59:25.460 --> 59:27.900 Please take these and I want to see who hopes you know what? 59:28.660 --> 59:32.920 19.5% of the fans think that team liquid and where it's gonna take it 59:32.920 --> 59:35.300 I think that's as good as it gets round that up to 20 59:38.860 --> 59:40.860 33% prediction 59:40.940 --> 59:46.620 What are you doing? Yeah, you guys are getting this wrong again by the way, you know what I like what I'm seeing 59:46.660 --> 59:51.500 I think this has been convincing you that you actually should believe it's here. 59:51.500 --> 59:53.000 That's how this test is being... 59:53.000 --> 59:56.300 You're supposed to be the one with the like American flag waving over your office. 59:56.300 --> 59:58.980 I will give them a game. 59:58.980 --> 59:59.980 Three-one. 59:59.980 --> 01:00:02.260 I have enough faith for one game. 01:00:02.260 --> 01:00:03.260 You know what? 01:00:03.260 --> 01:00:06.380 It's always hard because at the end of the day only one team advances tonight between 01:00:06.380 --> 01:00:10.380 and Team Liquid Alienware. Let's see who gets to the main stage. 01:00:36.380 --> 01:00:38.380 This is about to go down. 01:00:38.380 --> 01:00:39.380 We're going home. 01:00:39.380 --> 01:00:40.380 We're going home. 01:00:42.380 --> 01:00:43.380 This is your time. 01:00:43.380 --> 01:00:44.380 This is your home. 01:00:44.380 --> 01:00:45.380 This is your fight. 01:00:45.380 --> 01:00:47.380 Fight with your fight. 01:00:53.380 --> 01:00:56.380 Welcome everyone to this incredible series, 01:00:56.380 --> 01:00:59.380 the final series in the playing stage of MSI 2026, 01:00:59.380 --> 01:01:03.380 between T1 and Team Liquid Alienware. 01:01:03.380 --> 01:01:10.840 where and no surprise whatsoever, but I'm thinking it might be a bit of a T1 favorite house here today is a 01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:13.240 It's hard to say hard to say, you know 01:01:13.960 --> 01:01:18.800 You look out there, you know, it's like half-core JJ Jersey's half baker, you know 01:01:18.800 --> 01:01:20.800 I don't know 01:01:21.560 --> 01:01:25.000 99.9% T1 fan. I was walking outside the venue before 01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:31.820 Thousands and thousands of fans have lined up hours early to get in to get the best seats to be able to be in the 01:01:31.820 --> 01:01:38.260 for a row, watch Baker, watch T1, do what they are expecting them to do, which is smack 01:01:38.260 --> 01:01:39.260 down TL. 01:01:39.260 --> 01:01:42.300 But after yesterday, a lot of optimism for TL. 01:01:42.300 --> 01:01:46.220 Of course, a tall task to beat T1, but I imagine we will see a significant uptick in 01:01:46.220 --> 01:01:50.060 performance both from the lessons they learned last time they played and from the confidence 01:01:50.060 --> 01:01:53.380 they gained after that absolute demolishment yesterday. 01:01:53.380 --> 01:01:56.420 Both teams are on a 16-winning streak, you know? 01:01:56.420 --> 01:01:57.420 That is numbers don't lie. 01:01:57.420 --> 01:01:58.420 The numbers don't lie. 01:01:58.420 --> 01:01:59.620 Basically the same thing. 01:01:59.620 --> 01:02:00.820 Same thing. 01:02:00.820 --> 01:02:01.820 You can lose or you win. 01:02:01.820 --> 01:02:04.900 It's a 50-50 matchup. 01:02:04.900 --> 01:02:08.860 TL did make me believe in the last series a number of times. 01:02:08.860 --> 01:02:10.300 I mean, game two was the big one. 01:02:10.300 --> 01:02:11.580 I felt like compositionally, I thought 01:02:11.580 --> 01:02:12.660 they were going to outscale. 01:02:12.660 --> 01:02:14.100 I thought they had really good answers to what 01:02:14.100 --> 01:02:15.260 T1 had drafted. 01:02:15.260 --> 01:02:18.020 And they were up 6,000 goals. 01:02:18.020 --> 01:02:20.780 But T1 are just out team fighting them so badly 01:02:20.780 --> 01:02:21.540 in that series. 01:02:21.540 --> 01:02:24.980 And the games are decided by team fights these days. 01:02:24.980 --> 01:02:26.820 You can bravely, through individual laning, 01:02:26.820 --> 01:02:27.900 through smart map play. 01:02:27.900 --> 01:02:29.620 But basically, every game with legalizing 01:02:29.620 --> 01:02:32.860 in front of the play these days, is going to be decided in the 5v5. 01:02:32.860 --> 01:02:39.100 And TL were clearly a couple steps below where T1 was, right? 01:02:39.100 --> 01:02:41.380 You know, T1 was just better in the 5v5. 01:02:41.380 --> 01:02:43.660 And so, TL, if they want to get a game, 01:02:43.660 --> 01:02:45.220 if they want to have a chance in the series, 01:02:45.220 --> 01:02:47.060 have to be able to have the incredible early games 01:02:47.060 --> 01:02:49.380 that they had last time, and then pair that 01:02:49.380 --> 01:02:50.980 with much better team-playing. 01:02:50.980 --> 01:02:52.660 Yeah, and against a team like T1, we just 01:02:52.660 --> 01:02:54.060 have to understand that it's really just not 01:02:54.060 --> 01:02:55.140 over until the next as well. 01:02:55.140 --> 01:02:56.660 Six gags, at least, seven k, eight k. 01:02:56.660 --> 01:02:57.500 It does not matter. 01:02:57.500 --> 01:03:02.720 This is a team who if a single player missteps or underperforms will find a way back to the game 01:03:02.720 --> 01:03:06.040 Even in situations that for a lot of other teams the world would be unwinnable 01:03:06.040 --> 01:03:10.580 But now we enter picks and ban presented by HyperX. Here's the big thing for me 01:03:10.660 --> 01:03:14.060 Want to see if we get more of this priority on Perry? 01:03:14.540 --> 01:03:20.860 Excuse me carry Israeli champions the Camille immediately banned and what we've seen across every series thus far in MSI is this champion 01:03:20.860 --> 01:03:24.500 Is a terror wouldn't surprise me if for main stage. She just becomes 01:03:24.500 --> 01:03:38.500 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, has been pretty terrifying. It's also one of these things where I think it is kind of more about the player than the champion is my initial read. You know, whether or not that stays true, it's hard to know, but we will find out. 01:03:38.500 --> 01:03:47.500 There's just so many scary champions against Kariah and that's kind of the problem is there's so many threats on T1 that you can't just throw all your bands in one direction and expect to win. You can't get pickers, Orianna. 01:03:47.500 --> 01:03:51.060 You can't give Kerry his barred. You can't give Kerry it feels like it's Camille now 01:03:51.060 --> 01:03:54.180 But his pike has been nasty like this guy's insanely flexible 01:03:54.180 --> 01:03:58.920 It's just whatever he plays he's gonna look good and people have like should have banned that and reminder as well 01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:03.500 T1 coming in undefeated on the upper side of this frack if they don't get the luxury of double elimination 01:04:03.500 --> 01:04:08.580 But in this game one they get the luxury of right a first selection both side and choosing where they're going first pick 01:04:08.580 --> 01:04:10.180 They've opted for first pick here 01:04:10.180 --> 01:04:15.580 So do you want gonna feel really comfortable in the staff especially if they have a lot so much of what team the good alien 01:04:15.580 --> 01:04:17.260 somewhere, brought to the table yesterday. 01:04:17.260 --> 01:04:18.980 Absolutely, and I think it's a really good point 01:04:18.980 --> 01:04:20.380 that Winter's back at advantage, you know, 01:04:20.380 --> 01:04:23.060 I was talking about it with Spawn on the desk yesterday. 01:04:23.060 --> 01:04:25.500 And he was mentioning it is about a 58% win rate 01:04:25.500 --> 01:04:27.900 for teams that both get Blue Side and First Pick, 01:04:27.900 --> 01:04:31.340 which is, you know, what you are gonna see here for T1. 01:04:31.340 --> 01:04:35.300 So even just not paying attention to the name plates, 01:04:35.300 --> 01:04:37.180 it is a significant advantage to be First Pick 01:04:37.180 --> 01:04:38.020 and Blue Side. 01:04:38.020 --> 01:04:41.180 And T1 have earned that by not dropping a single game 01:04:41.180 --> 01:04:42.780 in play-ins that came in the favorites. 01:04:42.780 --> 01:04:44.260 They looked like the favorites. 01:04:44.260 --> 01:04:46.940 And we have left Bard up for Keria. 01:04:46.940 --> 01:04:47.780 All right, let's remake. 01:04:47.780 --> 01:04:48.620 It's 1-0-2-1. 01:04:48.620 --> 01:04:49.460 Well played. 01:04:49.460 --> 01:04:50.300 Well played. 01:04:50.300 --> 01:04:51.340 The ages became 100%. 01:04:51.340 --> 01:04:54.580 No, certainly Keria on this Bard. 01:04:54.580 --> 01:04:55.820 Well, there's a lot of Keria's champions 01:04:55.820 --> 01:04:56.740 that could feel a little unbeatable, 01:04:56.740 --> 01:04:58.700 but this is a champion that can be incredibly terrifying. 01:04:58.700 --> 01:05:00.900 And already, it kind of signals to Team Liquid, 01:05:00.900 --> 01:05:03.260 hey, you cannot be picking immobile Keria. 01:05:03.260 --> 01:05:05.780 Keria's going to find a way, going to find those angles, 01:05:05.780 --> 01:05:07.260 and see if they have an immediate response. 01:05:07.260 --> 01:05:08.460 Because they left this open. 01:05:08.460 --> 01:05:09.580 They knew what they were getting into. 01:05:09.580 --> 01:05:10.500 Yeah, they absolutely did. 01:05:10.500 --> 01:05:13.180 And this is one of the things that TL has talked about 01:05:13.180 --> 01:05:17.740 times where they say, yeah, you can you can plan someone for leaving a champion up, but sometimes 01:05:17.740 --> 01:05:21.180 in field it's actually to win the whole series. You can't just throw and ban something the entire 01:05:21.180 --> 01:05:25.180 way through. So you come up with a good plan. You say, all right, this is how we're going to try 01:05:25.180 --> 01:05:29.500 to beat Karius Bard. Obviously, there's a Herculean task that's going to be incredibly difficult, 01:05:29.500 --> 01:05:33.820 but you come in with a plan. If it works, great. If it doesn't, at least you don't have to ban it 01:05:33.820 --> 01:05:36.940 from us this series. And that is kind of the thought process that some coaches have had. 01:05:36.940 --> 01:05:41.980 But I'm excited to see what TL will bring out here because 01:05:41.980 --> 01:05:44.480 Karrie as Bart is insanely hard to stop. 01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:48.480 I will say, you know, there's a lot of criticism towards KC for leaving it up. 01:05:48.480 --> 01:05:51.180 But KC in that game, we're actually in a pretty good spot. 01:05:51.180 --> 01:05:54.480 And then Karrie did Karrie of things and made them look silly and they won the game, 01:05:54.480 --> 01:05:56.480 but kind of does that on a lot of chance. 01:05:56.480 --> 01:05:58.980 Well, it's true and sometimes Karrie is just going to do Karrie of things 01:05:58.980 --> 01:06:00.980 and there's nothing you can do about it. 01:06:00.980 --> 01:06:03.480 You can't ban a player on the enemy team if they could. 01:06:03.480 --> 01:06:05.480 I'm sure that he would be on the shortlist. 01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:07.840 Absolutely, but that's just not how the game works. 01:06:07.840 --> 01:06:10.560 This is a reminder of how incredibly good he is individually. 01:06:10.560 --> 01:06:11.840 But as we go later into the draft, 01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:14.800 we see on the side of TL already really strong 01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:16.940 engaged options here, and the mobile champions 01:06:16.940 --> 01:06:20.560 might also be a concern for G1 and C, the J4 option. 01:06:20.560 --> 01:06:23.000 But in the midi's response, if owners sin, 01:06:23.000 --> 01:06:24.000 no stranger to the team. 01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:25.240 Oh, that guy's pumped up. 01:06:25.240 --> 01:06:27.080 One of the signature options for him, I'd say. 01:06:27.080 --> 01:06:29.160 And now, Pays interestingly, opting for something a bit 01:06:29.160 --> 01:06:29.660 safer. 01:06:29.660 --> 01:06:31.880 Maybe we see a game where T1 aren't actually 01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:33.360 playing towards the bottom side. 01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:34.880 Yeah, and I think the Ezreal makes a lot of sense, 01:06:34.880 --> 01:06:38.520 I was going to say, you know, the classic pairing, if you are going to go Caitlyn barred, 01:06:38.520 --> 01:06:42.680 you see that they are already showing rail, you see if they're already showing Jarvan, 01:06:42.680 --> 01:06:46.400 and you have to pay some respect to TL, because I think their prep and drafting has been really, 01:06:46.400 --> 01:06:49.040 really good throughout this event, even in the losses against T1. 01:06:49.040 --> 01:06:53.000 I thought they had draft advantages in a lot of those games, and so you're coming in, you're 01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:56.960 expecting the one to full send it, and maybe T1's readers, you are hoping we will play 01:06:56.960 --> 01:07:00.560 a lower mobility carry, someone like Caitlyn who is more vulnerable that you can full send 01:07:00.560 --> 01:07:01.560 it on and really punish. 01:07:01.560 --> 01:07:03.360 So they are going to go the safer option, 01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:05.960 put Paze on the Ezreal here. 01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:09.560 And he is a demon on this champ, as he is on many others. 01:07:09.560 --> 01:07:10.960 To me, so much of the series is just 01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:13.760 going to come down to Ken, Yon, and CoreJJ stand up, 01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:14.800 to Paze and Keria. 01:07:14.800 --> 01:07:17.360 Because they are, in my opinion, without a doubt, 01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:19.000 the best bot lane in the world. 01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:21.840 And they were the clear issue in the last series as well, 01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:23.760 both in lane and in team fighting. 01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:26.600 They clearly outclassed T-Laws bot lane. 01:07:26.600 --> 01:07:27.520 Absolutely did. 01:07:27.520 --> 01:07:29.360 Of course, we've seen an uptick in performance. 01:07:29.360 --> 01:07:32.700 those games that they've spent sense losing to T1 have not been wasted. 01:07:32.700 --> 01:07:34.880 But there's a tight timeline to turn around. 01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:36.720 And it's not enough to compete head to head, 01:07:36.720 --> 01:07:38.840 but it might be enough to stem the bleeding and adjust. 01:07:38.840 --> 01:07:40.400 As you see, Casio taking away. 01:07:40.400 --> 01:07:41.440 Pair with that Ryze bin. 01:07:41.440 --> 01:07:43.120 Really trying to set up clear to be comfortable. 01:07:43.120 --> 01:07:47.640 The downside is 80s dropping even lower, even further in the draft for Yon. 01:07:47.640 --> 01:07:50.040 So a comfort pick isn't super likely. 01:07:50.040 --> 01:07:53.240 Yeah, I mean, to me, I'm not that worried about AD Bins in a game one. 01:07:53.240 --> 01:07:55.920 I just think there's so many that can kind of slot into whatever. 01:07:55.920 --> 01:07:58.440 I'm expecting probably an Inivia bin as well. 01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:01.640 ban out some of the common answers here to the rise. 01:08:01.640 --> 01:08:04.660 But the question to me is, yes, Yon and Kor have looked much 01:08:04.660 --> 01:08:05.160 better. 01:08:05.160 --> 01:08:07.560 And I think Kor, just in general throughout this event, 01:08:07.560 --> 01:08:10.960 even against T1, has looked way better than he had in NA. 01:08:10.960 --> 01:08:13.960 I didn't even have him in my all pro, to be honest. 01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:16.800 But the question is, when you have those other matches 01:08:16.800 --> 01:08:19.920 against DCG and KC, does that really transition over 01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:21.120 against a team like T1? 01:08:21.120 --> 01:08:22.480 Or is it just the level of competition 01:08:22.480 --> 01:08:23.480 is very different, right? 01:08:23.480 --> 01:08:26.600 Because T1 has outclassed everyone in play and is quite a lot. 01:08:26.600 --> 01:08:30.580 Life would be so much easier if the transitive property really just worked one one exactly 01:08:30.580 --> 01:08:36.640 But the comparisons are always going to be the hard point, but as predicted as they'll we are going to see the India taken off the board 01:08:37.080 --> 01:08:42.600 Questions as to what Doran and faker are going to table especially Doran right because that was one of the few lanes where team liquid 01:08:42.600 --> 01:08:50.180 Alienware were able to really just crush in the 1v1 incredible performances from Morgan or return to the Lord Morgan era to start the season 01:08:50.180 --> 01:08:55.080 But Kaisa, historically, really good option into the Ezreal in the later stages. 01:08:55.080 --> 01:08:57.080 Those first few items for Ezreal still favor him. 01:08:57.080 --> 01:09:00.280 But Kaisa champion who really doesn't care if Ezreal wants to play the distance, 01:09:00.280 --> 01:09:01.580 she can get right on top. 01:09:01.580 --> 01:09:03.880 Absolutely can, and this is a throwback. 01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:05.580 It's full comfort for Yon. 01:09:05.580 --> 01:09:08.280 He used to play this style a lot when they kind of dived Metas. 01:09:08.280 --> 01:09:10.080 So they are going to be looking to full center. 01:09:10.080 --> 01:09:13.780 They do think they were hoping that T1 would have gone for a Caitlyn or something 01:09:13.780 --> 01:09:15.780 easier to kind of get in on top of. 01:09:15.780 --> 01:09:17.780 And Bessa going to be blinded here for Doran. 01:09:17.780 --> 01:09:19.580 So the question is, what can Morgan go towards? 01:09:19.580 --> 01:09:20.800 It's the investment fell a little bit 01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:22.340 obvious when she saw the renecing ban. 01:09:22.340 --> 01:09:24.340 That's kind of a meta ban that you are going to throw out there 01:09:24.340 --> 01:09:25.580 as protection. 01:09:25.580 --> 01:09:26.940 Morgan has been incredible. 01:09:26.940 --> 01:09:28.780 And that is kind of the other side of the story 01:09:28.780 --> 01:09:31.460 as people have looked at this and saying, it was really close. 01:09:31.460 --> 01:09:33.540 If only Yon played better, they could have won. 01:09:33.540 --> 01:09:35.860 But you can't guarantee that Morgan is going 01:09:35.860 --> 01:09:37.500 to be chain solo killing Doran. 01:09:37.500 --> 01:09:40.140 And that Jose is going to be getting advantages over owner 01:09:40.140 --> 01:09:41.060 at times, right? 01:09:41.060 --> 01:09:43.180 They played so damn well. 01:09:43.180 --> 01:09:44.460 And that is not easy to do. 01:09:44.460 --> 01:09:47.460 That is not a guarantee by any means 01:09:47.460 --> 01:09:49.340 against players of T1's caliber. 01:09:49.340 --> 01:09:54.180 Absolutely right you need that simultaneous level of overperformance with that day where they're able to match to you 01:09:54.180 --> 01:09:58.320 One go ahead to head and you need that problem to step up. It's a lot of different variables 01:09:58.940 --> 01:10:04.660 Are the reason why he won so heavily favored in the fan prediction as well as I think by a lot of the analysts right seeing how much 01:10:04.660 --> 01:10:08.940 Tiel have been able to step up over the last few days what they'll be able to implement in their game 01:10:08.940 --> 01:10:11.580 Oh, they didn't even have 50% win rate and predictions anymore 01:10:12.340 --> 01:10:16.940 pathetic the fan they follow their hearts, I think which as we know they're frequently wrong 01:10:16.940 --> 01:10:19.820 We're humans, we make dumb choices all the time. 01:10:19.820 --> 01:10:20.820 We air. 01:10:20.820 --> 01:10:23.140 That we do, that we do. 01:10:23.140 --> 01:10:26.260 My fatal flaw was loving North America too much. 01:10:26.260 --> 01:10:31.580 My fatal flaw was believing in KC, so I think you're doing just fine as far as fatal flaws 01:10:31.580 --> 01:10:32.580 go. 01:10:32.580 --> 01:10:36.460 But we'll see if there are any fatal flaws in either these teams' strategy or execution 01:10:36.460 --> 01:10:38.420 as we get ready for the first game in this series. 01:10:38.420 --> 01:10:41.460 Again, final series of the playing stage. 01:10:41.460 --> 01:10:46.260 The winner will hot drop into the main stage and play against BLG. 01:10:46.260 --> 01:10:51.260 So the stakes are astronomical, and they're not stopping any time soon. 01:10:51.260 --> 01:10:56.260 It's going to be exciting here, and even though T1 obviously has an upper bracket advantage, 01:10:56.260 --> 01:10:58.260 that is getting spent in game one. 01:10:58.260 --> 01:11:03.260 There is no reset on the bracket, anything like that, so if they lose, they are out of MSI, period. 01:11:03.260 --> 01:11:09.260 T1 never goes out early in tournaments, so the worst they've ever done at Worlds is semi-finals. 01:11:09.260 --> 01:11:12.260 Anytime they're at MSI, they're usually having a deep run. 01:11:12.260 --> 01:11:15.260 They're never knocked out before, you know, the bracket stage before that elimination stage there. 01:11:15.260 --> 01:11:19.180 The 2019 MSI that you fans love to bring up, that's their worst result. 01:11:19.180 --> 01:11:22.380 Third, fourth, third after, once we got to double it. 01:11:22.380 --> 01:11:23.380 How many teams are left? 01:11:23.380 --> 01:11:24.900 Yeah, more than three or four. 01:11:24.900 --> 01:11:25.900 Exactly. 01:11:25.900 --> 01:11:26.900 Unfortunately. 01:11:26.900 --> 01:11:29.060 Already seeing some early aggressive trading here in the bottom line, Kerry trying to make 01:11:29.060 --> 01:11:31.820 the most of that barred level one, getting electric crew propped down. 01:11:31.820 --> 01:11:35.380 A bit of chipping away, but both sides burning heel, so not the end of the world. 01:11:35.380 --> 01:11:39.500 And the pot already used for Jan, and he's going to be missing about 100 HP as well on 01:11:39.500 --> 01:11:41.300 top of that, even if the potion does expire. 01:11:41.300 --> 01:11:45.520 So, significant HP advantage there for T1, 01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:46.860 and it's carried towards the predict 01:11:46.860 --> 01:11:49.100 with the cosmic binding, can't find it. 01:11:49.100 --> 01:11:50.260 And this is the difficulty, right? 01:11:50.260 --> 01:11:52.260 You can look at a matchup like this and think, 01:11:52.260 --> 01:11:53.700 great, we're gonna do well later. 01:11:53.700 --> 01:11:55.940 You know, just hold on, but that is so much easier 01:11:55.940 --> 01:11:57.300 to have been done against these guys 01:11:57.300 --> 01:12:00.220 who are just so incredible at pushing the limits 01:12:00.220 --> 01:12:02.660 of every matchup and punishing you on every minion. 01:12:02.660 --> 01:12:04.420 They're gonna crash the wave, they're gonna stack it, 01:12:04.420 --> 01:12:05.700 and then when it bounces out, well, guess what? 01:12:05.700 --> 01:12:06.620 You gotta be able to fight them 01:12:06.620 --> 01:12:09.020 or you're gonna be losing minion after minion after minion. 01:12:09.020 --> 01:12:10.380 That's why it gets so hard. 01:12:10.380 --> 01:12:14.140 You can see Kord doing what he can with that crash down, trying to get a little bit of space. 01:12:14.140 --> 01:12:18.500 But he knows that in these early levels, you're just not going to be able to match the power of the Ezreal Bard. 01:12:18.500 --> 01:12:21.580 Both the range and their early kit, strength of their kits. 01:12:21.580 --> 01:12:23.500 A few more levels, maybe things can even out. 01:12:23.500 --> 01:12:25.540 But you said it's not easy to weather the storm. 01:12:25.540 --> 01:12:28.220 We like to pretend when we're not watching, when it's a lane that we're not in. 01:12:28.220 --> 01:12:30.140 Hey, just hold on buddy, it'll be fine. 01:12:30.140 --> 01:12:32.180 But always easier said than done. 01:12:32.180 --> 01:12:37.660 And you can see here, of course, Karya, some impressive, impressive numbers in terms of his individual games. 01:12:37.660 --> 01:12:41.180 and certainly a player we're going to be tracking across the entirety of this tournament. 01:12:41.180 --> 01:12:44.860 But first he has to make it to TL and well he's done it once before. 01:12:44.860 --> 01:12:48.380 But Kenny do it twice. That's the question on everyone's mind. 01:12:48.380 --> 01:12:49.260 That's true. That's true. 01:12:50.300 --> 01:12:54.460 I will say Doran already looking a little bit more comfortable in his laning matchup. 01:12:54.460 --> 01:12:56.860 Last time we saw this up against Morgan it was working on the rumble. 01:12:56.860 --> 01:12:58.620 So things are a little bit different this time. 01:12:58.620 --> 01:13:04.140 Up in carrier now moving to number three, 193 international games played including this one. 01:13:04.140 --> 01:13:06.760 will put him into number three passing 01:13:06.760 --> 01:13:09.500 Shao Hu, a legendary LPL player. 01:13:09.500 --> 01:13:10.860 Here's that full list. 01:13:10.860 --> 01:13:13.740 And this is the International of Six. 01:13:13.740 --> 01:13:16.140 Some impressive stuff, as we see a little bit of footwork 01:13:16.140 --> 01:13:16.860 there from core. 01:13:16.860 --> 01:13:21.940 But it's crazy to me because this edition of T1, 01:13:21.940 --> 01:13:23.060 the most latest one, is new. 01:13:23.060 --> 01:13:25.380 The one before that even feels new. 01:13:25.380 --> 01:13:26.740 Keria, of course. 01:13:26.740 --> 01:13:27.620 Nice job production. 01:13:27.620 --> 01:13:28.700 Love the animal edition. 01:13:28.700 --> 01:13:29.980 I'm the goat of supports. 01:13:29.980 --> 01:13:32.140 And I like this for Keria because he knows it. 01:13:32.140 --> 01:13:33.980 And I like when a player owns it. 01:13:33.980 --> 01:13:36.220 And he's backing it up every time he steps onto the Rift. 01:13:36.220 --> 01:13:37.880 That's why we started shaking in our boots 01:13:37.880 --> 01:13:39.300 when we saw the Bard locked in. 01:13:39.300 --> 01:13:40.100 Yeah, absolutely. 01:13:40.100 --> 01:13:43.020 I mean, it is really, really cool to see him talk about that, 01:13:43.020 --> 01:13:43.260 right? 01:13:43.260 --> 01:13:45.940 Because when we talked about how that had been his goal, 01:13:45.940 --> 01:13:47.900 is to become the greatest support in the world, 01:13:47.900 --> 01:13:50.940 and now feeling confident that he can say that he is. 01:13:50.940 --> 01:13:52.340 They're looking for a three-man dive here. 01:13:52.340 --> 01:13:53.100 Yon is coming back. 01:13:53.100 --> 01:13:53.900 What was that flash? 01:13:53.900 --> 01:13:54.940 A magical journey. 01:13:54.940 --> 01:13:55.940 It was an awkward flash. 01:13:55.940 --> 01:13:57.220 Now, I'm trying to make it back into the top. 01:13:57.220 --> 01:13:58.420 I don't know if the tower's going to be safe with the readout, 01:13:58.420 --> 01:14:03.020 because Paz is just getting hundreds of chip damage for free. 01:14:03.020 --> 01:14:06.140 Two minions left. Q connects. They're gonna take down Khor. 01:14:06.140 --> 01:14:09.220 Looks like Yon might be back. Q locks off Yon, and he manages to live. 01:14:09.220 --> 01:14:12.140 Yon doesn't seem to be long for this world, but Q just going a little bit live. 01:14:12.140 --> 01:14:14.100 He's got Qid. Looking for a bit of vengeance. 01:14:14.100 --> 01:14:17.900 Rune Prison goes down, but extra damage, and he gets one back and return. 01:14:17.900 --> 01:14:21.300 Good roam from Qid to salvage a super dire situation. 01:14:21.300 --> 01:14:25.580 Yeah, really nicely done there. A buy. Qid just ghosting down towards bot lane. 01:14:25.580 --> 01:14:29.060 He's gonna catch most of the wave. I wanna see this again. 01:14:29.060 --> 01:14:30.860 So this was after he had already wasted his flash. 01:14:30.860 --> 01:14:34.740 I'm not really sure what happened if that was a misclick or if like he'd already spent his flash and it was a hex flash I saw 01:14:34.740 --> 01:14:36.720 But that looked bizarre there from core 01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:41.540 But quick comes in owner had flashed out to actually dodge that turn aggro otherwise he could have gone down to yawn 01:14:41.660 --> 01:14:46.580 So quid knows he's gonna be able to chase him down get that kill and you can see a little bit of look of frustration 01:14:46.580 --> 01:14:50.060 So I think that was definitely a bit of an oopsie there from a core 01:14:50.320 --> 01:14:54.420 But quid they gave him a lot of bands to help him out in this mid lane 01:14:54.420 --> 01:15:00.460 They've been up the Ori they've been down the Casio as well as the Anivia which are tough for that rise and quid is very 01:15:00.460 --> 01:15:04.220 depth on the champion and is going to be able to get an early kill. Get that tear stacking right away. 01:15:04.220 --> 01:15:07.580 And pressure on him now to transition that lead because it also means that Paze has been able to 01:15:07.580 --> 01:15:11.260 pick up that early kill. Get that early sheen that Tio already stacked and definitely got to keep 01:15:11.260 --> 01:15:14.380 our eyes on. His click immediately going to flash forward. Follow-up is there, the flip back is there, 01:15:14.380 --> 01:15:18.460 but it might just be a little bit too late. The red buff is still ticking. Faker forced to flash away, 01:15:19.020 --> 01:15:22.700 but not getting the kill is frustrating. That's two flashes burned on the side of TL. 01:15:22.700 --> 01:15:27.900 Exactly. They get both the flashes there that is so good from Faker. Being able to actually tank 01:15:27.900 --> 01:15:31.700 that gank had a really good timing on the flip back to be able to deny some of 01:15:31.700 --> 01:15:35.060 the damages. Jose was coming in and in that picture in picture we saw that 01:15:35.060 --> 01:15:38.420 Yon lost his flash to Kariah as he was trying to push out that wave after they 01:15:38.420 --> 01:15:42.620 had gotten the kill and so Yon is gonna be very vulnerable as a result here and 01:15:42.620 --> 01:15:45.620 Doran, Yon, gonna have to do their best to hold on. 01:15:45.620 --> 01:15:49.620 Morgan on the top side. Zerber's bringing us up. Might see the 1v1 here. 01:15:49.620 --> 01:15:51.620 Doran gonna get knocked back. Just barely not gonna click the wall. 01:15:51.620 --> 01:15:53.620 Doran now trying to dash through. Pick it back on the house for Morgan. 01:15:53.620 --> 01:15:55.620 Wants an extra burst damage, but it's just not enough. 01:15:55.620 --> 01:16:00.620 Doran checking over to 6. Has the vamp just stretched through him. 01:16:00.620 --> 01:16:04.620 Nicely done there by Doran. You can see Morgan was trying to actually wait out the ultimate. 01:16:04.620 --> 01:16:08.620 Doran was trying to predict the ult and actually immune that with the buffer. 01:16:08.620 --> 01:16:12.540 area, taking a big chunk of damage, but has the magical journey to keep him safe across the map. 01:16:12.780 --> 01:16:15.820 This fight's breaking out in the lanes, even without the support of junglers. 01:16:15.900 --> 01:16:20.820 Yeah, that is just so big for T1. You're already putting your energy into this bot lane, getting him ahead. 01:16:20.980 --> 01:16:22.980 Pays pulled back, three stacks. 01:16:23.740 --> 01:16:25.740 Second skin. 01:16:25.740 --> 01:16:29.140 We're not wandering and spotting out Jose to the other, but with this bot lane in such a comfortable position, 01:16:29.140 --> 01:16:30.820 it's gonna be hard for Jose to contest this crab. 01:16:30.980 --> 01:16:35.980 Yeah, I mean, Pays also got the kill down on the bot side and Yon is down two full waves. 01:16:35.980 --> 01:16:37.500 So this is tough, but here comes quick. 01:16:37.500 --> 01:16:42.780 One morph is big. Hard to get out of jail free card here, but at least they'll be able to secure the crab. 01:16:43.380 --> 01:16:45.380 Faker roaming down, poking his head in. 01:16:45.800 --> 01:16:48.040 Hosie Dio to take it over to level 6 is pretty big. 01:16:48.840 --> 01:16:53.320 Maybe they can capitalize in mid lane. Faker very aware of where his opposition is, however. 01:16:54.180 --> 01:16:56.780 Hosie Dio might not care. Cataclysm? 01:16:57.440 --> 01:16:59.120 Walking at him menacingly? 01:16:59.780 --> 01:17:05.380 With a Vanadic Darvinskin? The man has a lot of aura. You gotta respect it, but it is just gonna be an all for all trade. 01:17:05.380 --> 01:17:09.220 Yeah, not the greatest there from Jose is gonna lose that all the other day 01:17:09.220 --> 01:17:13.540 So here it is earlier and we can see Morgan tries to wait it out 01:17:13.540 --> 01:17:20.380 Then get that stun into the wall just barely missed it tries to flash in and actually go for a Q flash to try to just make it 01:17:20.380 --> 01:17:25.840 So it's unreactable basically from Dora, but then Doran flashed over that is able to win out on that 1v1 01:17:25.840 --> 01:17:29.020 And then Morgan without flash of course cannot retreat 01:17:29.500 --> 01:17:33.580 Really slim margins in that 1v1. I think if Morgan gets him into the wall and gets the bonus damage 01:17:33.580 --> 01:17:37.420 I think he actually has the kill and Morgan remember was a shining life for T on the previous series 01:17:37.420 --> 01:17:41.460 Is he now jumps over carry his head, but there's just no way out for members of team one 01:17:41.980 --> 01:17:43.980 Seemingly appear on the top side out of nowhere 01:17:44.780 --> 01:17:49.260 Starts with a cosmic binding but now team liquid want to turn this play back in their favor all too forced out from owners 01:17:49.260 --> 01:17:53.380 The debate from TL can they keep pushing in have to be careful fighting into that joke 01:17:53.740 --> 01:17:57.940 Faker has so many cool downs up so we'll just back off have to contest with that all 01:17:57.940 --> 01:17:59.800 I really like how active quit is being though 01:17:59.800 --> 01:18:03.420 He got early Swifties and he is just running around everywhere. They're looking to scrap 01:18:03.580 --> 01:18:09.580 We have heard TL and Quinn in particular talking about how fast T1 looks to play, 01:18:09.580 --> 01:18:11.580 and that you need to be able to match that pace. 01:18:11.580 --> 01:18:14.580 Because if you try to sit back, your teammates are going to get preyed on, 01:18:14.580 --> 01:18:16.580 they're going to be getting picked off left, right and center, 01:18:16.580 --> 01:18:18.580 so you need to be as active as they are. 01:18:18.580 --> 01:18:21.580 And Quinn is trying to do just that, tries to match the play towards topside, 01:18:21.580 --> 01:18:24.580 now moving bot to try to get behind Paze, but he has a ward, 01:18:24.580 --> 01:18:27.580 and that should mean that he is probably safe. 01:18:27.580 --> 01:18:29.580 Paze should be fine. God is the initial burst of damage. 01:18:29.580 --> 01:18:32.580 Rude connects, but there's not really any follow up there. 01:18:32.580 --> 01:18:37.420 Yeah, you can see that it feels like with knows how important it is that he leverages lead 01:18:37.420 --> 01:18:42.220 He's the only member of the team with the lead on the map, right as dominant as Morgan was in the previous series 01:18:42.220 --> 01:18:44.220 You know, we saw the stats briefly on the side there 01:18:44.520 --> 01:18:45.860 Thus far in this first game 01:18:45.860 --> 01:18:51.340 It just has not been the case even if the margins were close ultimately getting the kill to put snoring in such a comfortable spot is 01:18:51.940 --> 01:18:56.940 T1 almost 2k in the lead only eight minutes in and it's like I was saying in draft, right? 01:18:56.940 --> 01:19:02.020 You can't take that for granted. You can't assume that Morgan is always gonna get those kind of leads against one 01:19:02.020 --> 01:19:03.140 It's just not going to happen. 01:19:03.140 --> 01:19:07.060 Doran is too good of a player to always get that sort of an advantage over him. 01:19:07.060 --> 01:19:10.420 So, you know, both Doran doing better in the 1v1 individually, 01:19:10.420 --> 01:19:14.500 and then T1 putting a lot of resources up towards that topside to try to cover for Doran, 01:19:14.500 --> 01:19:16.500 make sure that without the flash, she couldn't get ganked. 01:19:16.500 --> 01:19:18.500 And as a result, we were able to actually kill off Morgan. 01:19:18.500 --> 01:19:22.420 So there really are trying to put more of an emphasis, I think, on this top lane. 01:19:22.420 --> 01:19:28.100 And that may be one of the adjustments that T1 came into today looking to try to really polish up. 01:19:28.100 --> 01:19:30.420 And thus far, they're kind of, they had the cake, and now they're eating it too, 01:19:30.420 --> 01:19:33.420 because not only are Pays and Karius still winning on the bottom side, 01:19:33.420 --> 01:19:35.820 but it also limited a strength that we saw previously. 01:19:35.820 --> 01:19:39.020 Again, it was an 0-3 loss from T1, despite that up in CS, 01:19:39.020 --> 01:19:42.120 up in Golden, up in XP across the entire series. 01:19:42.120 --> 01:19:43.320 Not something we frequently see. 01:19:43.320 --> 01:19:45.420 A testament to how good Morgan was playing on the day, 01:19:45.420 --> 01:19:47.320 but Doran clearly coming back stronger 01:19:47.320 --> 01:19:50.220 and with a lot more support in this top lane, Morgan. 01:19:50.220 --> 01:19:53.520 Megan R back into the wall, but there's simply too much damage. 01:19:53.520 --> 01:19:55.220 Perfectly timed ulti from Karius. 01:19:55.220 --> 01:19:57.020 Well, just to deny that extra tower shot. 01:19:57.020 --> 01:19:58.120 Yeah, that is actually crazy. 01:19:58.120 --> 01:19:59.820 Turns off the tower there, 01:19:59.820 --> 01:20:04.060 Because had that been a split second earlier, Morgan would actually live in that, you know, 01:20:04.060 --> 01:20:08.620 and maybe things could look a little bit more awkward, but beautifully timed there by Keria, 01:20:08.620 --> 01:20:12.060 they get another kill, it goes to Doran. Morgan has been put in the dirt, 01:20:13.020 --> 01:20:16.780 T-Lifting Liquid just trying to get something back on the other side will get a dragon, 01:20:16.780 --> 01:20:19.580 but they're down 2,000 gold now already. 01:20:20.620 --> 01:20:23.580 Dragon is the consolation prize for the top play, but it's tough, right? 01:20:23.580 --> 01:20:27.020 We already see that first item completion coming in from Doran, so accelerated. 01:20:27.020 --> 01:20:29.380 1k individual lead eclipse now finished. 01:20:29.380 --> 01:20:32.340 It's only going to make things that much harder for Morgan. 01:20:32.340 --> 01:20:36.460 Just survive and you see the swap now from TL core taken up 01:20:36.460 --> 01:20:39.980 home on the top side alongside yawn who 32 stacks left on that 01:20:39.980 --> 01:20:42.540 call will start to get close to that first item completion. 01:20:45.020 --> 01:20:48.620 Now there as you say you know another item coming in there for 01:20:48.620 --> 01:20:52.620 T1 and it's going to be about team liquid trying to find picks 01:20:52.620 --> 01:20:56.820 trying to find some place here which is not that easy to do 01:20:56.820 --> 01:20:59.060 You know, there are some targets that you want to go for. 01:20:59.060 --> 01:21:00.160 Obviously, the Ezreal will be great, 01:21:00.160 --> 01:21:01.820 but he's going to be hard to lock down. 01:21:01.820 --> 01:21:03.660 You know, Faker, you could try to look for him, 01:21:03.660 --> 01:21:05.260 but of course, if you overcommit, 01:21:05.260 --> 01:21:06.820 then you are going to get really punished 01:21:06.820 --> 01:21:09.200 by these melee champions in the front, right? 01:21:09.200 --> 01:21:11.960 If you're trying to dive through Doran and the owner 01:21:11.960 --> 01:21:13.860 and you're annoying Pace to go Faker, 01:21:13.860 --> 01:21:15.660 that could be really, really tough. 01:21:15.660 --> 01:21:17.360 So I do think Team Liquid is going to have to be 01:21:17.360 --> 01:21:19.500 absolutely on point with their engages. 01:21:19.500 --> 01:21:22.360 You've got to make sure that you are pixel perfect 01:21:22.360 --> 01:21:23.200 as you're going in, 01:21:23.200 --> 01:21:24.820 or I think the fight's going to go terribly. 01:21:24.820 --> 01:21:32.340 They do, owner finds control ward but is spotted in turn. Morgan about to go mega so I don't think we'll see a dive here but just a continued threat. 01:21:32.340 --> 01:21:35.300 There's like no tier one tower as safe as Paze. 01:21:35.300 --> 01:21:42.900 Gonna cancel the reset. Maybe T1 opts to dive on the next wave but it would take a ton of time and Yon already on the way. Kariah. 01:21:43.540 --> 01:21:49.060 Further delaying the play but I think just trying for a little bit of a tempo advantage there to deny the recall to topside. 01:21:49.060 --> 01:21:53.000 Exactly it's Doran because he's pushing topside that is why he spent the alt there 01:21:53.000 --> 01:21:54.780 Normally, it's not worth it just to slow down a recall 01:21:54.780 --> 01:21:57.740 But not only does this mean Doran is gonna probably kill the full tower 01:21:57.820 --> 01:22:02.420 You're gonna lose at least a full wave if it wasn't already other minions dying there 01:22:02.420 --> 01:22:08.020 So Doran's gonna be able to get first-power gold off the back of that help there from Keria with the three grubs 01:22:08.020 --> 01:22:13.200 That is such a nice play from Keria that I think a lot of people would not be thinking about it 01:22:13.200 --> 01:22:17.840 Just give so much tempo now Morgan who has been preyed on by all of these ganks all of these plays 01:22:17.840 --> 01:22:24.320 You've got solo killed in a very close situation then gets attacked in four-man dove three-man attack in the jumbling killed 01:22:24.320 --> 01:22:27.500 And now he gets altered there and loses the full tower you're down to K 01:22:27.500 --> 01:22:29.500 It doesn't matter how well you play more than one 01:22:30.140 --> 01:22:32.140 All eyes on Kariah 01:22:32.740 --> 01:22:37.340 Better revenge for the early action on the map but Pays against still standing unconcerned the three members 01:22:37.980 --> 01:22:39.380 TL are standing in his face 01:22:39.380 --> 01:22:41.980 But a nice pick a little bit of something back for TL 01:22:42.020 --> 01:22:47.060 But should he be concerned about the fourth member it wasn't concerned about three the quit is now down here 01:22:47.060 --> 01:22:49.060 And they're thinking about going for this dive. 01:22:49.060 --> 01:22:52.060 Yonah's pushing in, but Faker is moving, and so is Doran. 01:22:52.060 --> 01:22:53.060 Track force completed. 01:22:53.060 --> 01:22:54.060 TL betting a lot on this dive. 01:22:54.060 --> 01:22:55.060 Weaver's wall spotted. 01:22:55.060 --> 01:22:57.060 They're going to try to burst him down as quickly as possible. 01:22:57.060 --> 01:22:59.060 They get it done, and it looks like they're going to get out scot-free. 01:22:59.060 --> 01:23:01.060 T1 continuing to push. 01:23:01.060 --> 01:23:02.060 Nice flick back on the hose. 01:23:02.060 --> 01:23:04.060 A Doran sprinting into the play, but a ghost burn by Quid 01:23:04.060 --> 01:23:06.060 means TL are going to walk away. 01:23:06.060 --> 01:23:08.060 A nice dive to knock Pays down a pick. 01:23:08.060 --> 01:23:10.060 Yeah, that is actually a really good couple of plays there. 01:23:10.060 --> 01:23:12.060 From TL, they kill off Keria. 01:23:12.060 --> 01:23:14.060 They immediately pull off the dive on a Pays. 01:23:14.060 --> 01:23:16.060 Quid is playing a brilliant game. 01:23:16.060 --> 01:23:17.260 Altino! 01:23:17.260 --> 01:23:18.220 It might now be in trouble. 01:23:18.220 --> 01:23:19.500 Keria continuing to run forward. 01:23:19.500 --> 01:23:21.580 A bit of damage returned. 01:23:21.580 --> 01:23:24.860 Atlas, a nice bit of extra healing and could survive. 01:23:24.860 --> 01:23:25.740 Doesn't even flash. 01:23:25.740 --> 01:23:28.580 That is a lot of confidence there, you know, knew the limits. 01:23:28.580 --> 01:23:30.380 That it is, but Yon might be in trouble as well. 01:23:30.380 --> 01:23:32.660 Q2, Wukker in the center, and Slam does not connect. 01:23:32.660 --> 01:23:34.980 Hose of the order is still here. 01:23:34.980 --> 01:23:36.300 Keria! 01:23:36.300 --> 01:23:38.180 Playing pretty aggressive for our little healthy. 01:23:38.180 --> 01:23:39.020 F.E.A.L.T.! 01:23:39.020 --> 01:23:41.500 Ah! 01:23:41.500 --> 01:23:44.020 I feel like sometimes T1 live five seconds in the future, 01:23:44.020 --> 01:23:44.740 and it's now fair. 01:23:44.740 --> 01:23:49.660 That was dangerously close like the bar play early. Oh, they do. They live five seconds in the future 01:23:50.160 --> 01:23:55.360 Man, I think we saw him walking to the brush there with that Ward over the wall very likely from Carria 01:23:55.360 --> 01:23:59.180 Really well played by him again. Just trying to delay Doran doesn't be a bit careful has no alch 01:23:59.180 --> 01:24:01.680 But Morgan is now his on cooldown as well 01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:05.540 Yeah, I think saw an angle but maybe a bit over eager but now it's quid who's moving in Carria 01:24:05.540 --> 01:24:07.620 Forced to flash back, Core on the way as well, flashed forward 01:24:07.620 --> 01:24:11.820 That's gonna be the route another pick. This one on the door and then Mikhail's not enough to keep him standing Carria 01:24:11.820 --> 01:24:14.480 I hope he can get away out, but he just doesn't have to cool down. 01:24:14.480 --> 01:24:16.820 TL grabbing another man. 01:24:16.820 --> 01:24:19.520 What can't quit do this game gets a shutdown? 01:24:19.520 --> 01:24:22.820 This man is playing three lanes and jungling at this point. 01:24:22.820 --> 01:24:28.820 Quid is on one easily having his best game of the tournament so far in my view, 01:24:28.820 --> 01:24:34.320 but they are still down over a thousand gold despite the heroics from the quid. 01:24:34.320 --> 01:24:37.820 Thankfully, Doran, you know, was shut down to get the kill on the carrier. 01:24:37.820 --> 01:24:39.420 Morgan gets a little bit of gold back there. 01:24:39.420 --> 01:24:46.040 So, you know, Morgan just really needs to stabilize because he still has a lot of ways to go to even get towards that triforce 01:24:46.040 --> 01:24:49.620 And he does those you know spotting faker faker forced to back away 01:24:49.620 --> 01:24:54.940 But yeah, even as we're watching that play happen focus on the kills that are coming through so many waves are being deleted by towers 01:24:54.940 --> 01:25:00.480 So many plates chipped away at by faker in the top lane by pays in the mid lane is mid lane tower falling 01:25:00.480 --> 01:25:04.060 I think that map feel a little bit smaller for the side of TL 01:25:04.060 --> 01:25:09.060 So as good as those kills are to bring the game back a little bit closer still have to play clean pays locked up 01:25:09.060 --> 01:25:10.860 Over the wall, flashed out of the cataclysm. 01:25:10.860 --> 01:25:14.840 Yon immediately gonna chase the owners on the way and not before Yon manages to take down his opposing number. 01:25:14.840 --> 01:25:16.260 Core trying to split as best he can. 01:25:16.260 --> 01:25:18.900 Jose, you know, chasing Karrie and he manages to grab the kill. 01:25:18.900 --> 01:25:20.100 Owner now moving through two. 01:25:20.100 --> 01:25:23.100 Core stepping forward, but it's all eyes unquid to try and make the difference. 01:25:23.100 --> 01:25:24.400 Morgan moving in as well. 01:25:24.400 --> 01:25:26.780 Unraveled there, stopping him from getting too far forward. 01:25:26.780 --> 01:25:28.740 Jose, you know, looking for the 1v1 versus Faker. 01:25:28.740 --> 01:25:29.880 Red buff still procs. 01:25:29.880 --> 01:25:31.780 Owner on a killing spree, but will finally drop. 01:25:31.780 --> 01:25:33.520 Faker nowhere left to go! 01:25:33.520 --> 01:25:35.180 Jose grabbing the kill! 01:25:35.180 --> 01:25:37.520 It's a blunt battle, it goes. 01:25:37.520 --> 01:25:43.240 15 kills, 15 minutes, what a way to start off the final series here on Plains. 01:25:43.240 --> 01:25:44.680 And look at the patience from Yon. 01:25:44.680 --> 01:25:49.820 Waits until both the E and the Flash is used to go in with the killer instinct, 01:25:49.820 --> 01:25:52.040 knowing there's no escape there for Paze. 01:25:52.040 --> 01:25:55.220 Orner does a good job taking him down, but then they have the extra man. 01:25:55.220 --> 01:26:00.740 Hosea is just buying time here for Morgan to be able to come down to help them out. 01:26:00.740 --> 01:26:03.280 Quid is working on Orner, is able to finish him off, 01:26:03.280 --> 01:26:05.840 even though he just barely gets that kill on the CoreJJ. 01:26:05.840 --> 01:26:08.300 It's another great fight here from Team Liquid. 01:26:08.300 --> 01:26:12.180 We're just keeping things so scrappy in this game. 01:26:12.180 --> 01:26:15.340 They clearly have the idea to play at the same pace as T1. 01:26:19.340 --> 01:26:20.580 And then we have the coach reactions. 01:26:20.580 --> 01:26:22.580 And you're completely correct. 01:26:22.580 --> 01:26:24.740 I mean, ultimately, T1 still ahead in goal, I think, 01:26:24.740 --> 01:26:26.220 because of so many of the macro plays, 01:26:26.220 --> 01:26:27.420 trading and evening and kills. 01:26:27.420 --> 01:26:28.540 Isn't going to put you too far behind. 01:26:28.540 --> 01:26:29.940 There weren't these massive shutdowns. 01:26:29.940 --> 01:26:31.180 It wasn't that big of a lead. 01:26:31.180 --> 01:26:34.580 But TL keeping it close makes a lot of the rest of the game 01:26:34.580 --> 01:26:36.580 feel much, much more contestable, 01:26:36.580 --> 01:26:38.860 especially yawn is getting closer to that second item. 01:26:38.860 --> 01:26:41.780 And you can see why they would pick the Kaisa into this Ezreal. 01:26:41.780 --> 01:26:44.500 It's not going to be easy for Paze to step so far forward, 01:26:44.500 --> 01:26:46.180 especially now that he's missing the flash. 01:26:46.180 --> 01:26:46.860 Yeah, absolutely. 01:26:46.860 --> 01:26:47.900 It can be pretty scary. 01:26:47.900 --> 01:26:50.180 You can see Karya did rush for the Mikaels. 01:26:50.180 --> 01:26:53.020 So wants to have that cleanse, wants to keep Paze safe, 01:26:53.020 --> 01:26:54.340 because he is, of course, playing barrier. 01:26:54.340 --> 01:26:55.620 He's not going to be playing cleanse. 01:26:55.620 --> 01:26:58.260 So is going to be there with the perfectly timed Mikaels 01:26:58.260 --> 01:27:00.300 every time it feels like. 01:27:00.300 --> 01:27:02.220 We are seeing Morgan, at least now relevant, 01:27:02.220 --> 01:27:06.840 Of course, still very behind Doran is counterpart who does have two items and is a terror 01:27:07.080 --> 01:27:11.720 They can see in the coin base gold grind. It's still significant significantly for Doran 01:27:11.720 --> 01:27:16.760 But if Morgan can get to a point where he can at least stabilize in a side lane against Doran and you can have him for you for a fight 01:27:16.880 --> 01:27:20.320 It's actually favored in gold towards TL, right? 01:27:20.320 --> 01:27:26.040 But that is a big if because Doran is gigafed and now is one of the things that T1 did so well 01:27:26.040 --> 01:27:31.540 Even when TL had that gold meat is fine favorable fights in situations where it felt like it shouldn't have been possible 01:27:31.540 --> 01:27:33.300 So again, this is what we know. 01:27:33.300 --> 01:27:34.420 We heard from spawn yesterday. 01:27:34.420 --> 01:27:35.580 Look, getting a lead is fine. 01:27:35.580 --> 01:27:37.380 Closing the game out a different story. 01:27:37.380 --> 01:27:38.820 Really need to take it to the next level 01:27:38.820 --> 01:27:40.340 and quit, of course, on rise. 01:27:40.340 --> 01:27:41.180 Is the centerpiece? 01:27:41.180 --> 01:27:42.020 Is the focus? 01:27:42.020 --> 01:27:44.220 Because the story for TL versus T1 at this tournament 01:27:44.220 --> 01:27:46.340 has been individual members stepping up. 01:27:46.340 --> 01:27:48.140 And today, it's Quidd's turn. 01:27:48.140 --> 01:27:49.860 He is the man who has this goal to manage. 01:27:49.860 --> 01:27:52.180 3-0-2 on the way to a second item. 01:27:52.180 --> 01:27:54.540 Tia are already fully stacked for the Seraphs to come in 01:27:54.540 --> 01:27:57.060 and can just be a massive threat in the fights. 01:27:57.060 --> 01:27:58.420 Yeah, it is really cool. 01:27:58.420 --> 01:28:00.860 Even though Kaisa is not a new pick, you know, 01:28:00.860 --> 01:28:03.100 as far as the history of league. 01:28:03.100 --> 01:28:06.600 It is a new pick at MSI and it's really cool to see TL 01:28:06.600 --> 01:28:08.840 just continually trying to innovate here 01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:10.400 to surprise their opponents. 01:28:10.400 --> 01:28:12.000 You're going up against T1, let's be honest. 01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:14.540 This team has won three world championships in a row. 01:28:14.540 --> 01:28:16.420 Like you are the underdog, right? 01:28:16.420 --> 01:28:19.040 Like you can beat T1 domestically in the LCK 01:28:19.040 --> 01:28:20.360 and you're the underdog when you play it 01:28:20.360 --> 01:28:21.680 in an international event, right? 01:28:21.680 --> 01:28:22.520 Of course, exactly. 01:28:22.520 --> 01:28:24.720 That's just the amount of success this team has 01:28:24.720 --> 01:28:25.880 on an international stage. 01:28:25.880 --> 01:28:27.360 Yeah, so you've got to be coming out 01:28:27.360 --> 01:28:28.460 with your best in draft. 01:28:28.460 --> 01:28:29.480 You've got to be looking for edges. 01:28:29.480 --> 01:28:30.520 You've got to try to surprise them 01:28:30.520 --> 01:28:34.380 Because if you just play stock standard, the same game that T1 has seen 01:28:34.380 --> 01:28:37.380 a thousand times, they're going to beat you almost everyone. 01:28:38.740 --> 01:28:39.180 Just about. 01:28:39.620 --> 01:28:41.460 Of course, T1 continuing to push on that sideline. 01:28:41.460 --> 01:28:43.340 You mentioned it, Doran, so strong. 01:28:43.340 --> 01:28:46.640 It's difficult for anyone to match him, but TL kind of ignoring him, 01:28:46.640 --> 01:28:49.420 leaving on his lonesome, setting up more going to push top lane as they set up 01:28:49.420 --> 01:28:54.780 to crash the Herald mid by a little bit of trickery there, drifting in now. 01:28:54.780 --> 01:28:56.740 From Jose, now knocking up. 01:28:56.740 --> 01:28:59.180 Maybe everybody doesn't connect the tower, has to flag and drag out. 01:28:59.180 --> 01:29:00.260 It's a little bit messy. 01:29:00.260 --> 01:29:05.800 I like the look on the drift but wasn't quite clean enough and now he's gonna pay the price 01:29:05.800 --> 01:29:09.820 of all just be Hose the other one. Nice ulti coming out from Yondo to get away from Doran. 01:29:09.820 --> 01:29:14.580 Core dropping down as well. Baker with a double. T1 more than happy to punish. 01:29:14.580 --> 01:29:18.860 Yeah, that was really clever from Hose but a little bit too clever for his own good. 01:29:18.860 --> 01:29:21.500 He gets in the Herald there. The reason they don't just let it automatically crash is 01:29:21.500 --> 01:29:25.900 he knows Kari's gonna block it. So he drives it instead, spins around in the circle. Had 01:29:25.900 --> 01:29:28.440 he been able to actually get that into the tower, it would have been great because he 01:29:28.440 --> 01:29:33.200 He pops out away from the turret and gets the shield when you do pop out, so it would 01:29:33.200 --> 01:29:38.060 have been totally fine, but because of that misstep, it turns into a bit of a disaster. 01:29:38.060 --> 01:29:39.640 The goal lead doubles for T1. 01:29:39.640 --> 01:29:40.640 They both die. 01:29:40.640 --> 01:29:43.040 They lose control over mid lane, over bot lane. 01:29:43.040 --> 01:29:44.680 Two towers fall. 01:29:44.680 --> 01:29:49.800 So it was a creative look from Jose, but just couldn't quite fix the angle when he wrapped 01:29:49.800 --> 01:29:50.800 back around. 01:29:50.800 --> 01:29:53.960 But Morgan did grab the top lane tier one, so at least a little bit of gold back for 01:29:53.960 --> 01:29:54.960 him. 01:29:54.960 --> 01:29:57.720 Doesn't make a difference in terms of the individual goal discrepancy between players, but a little 01:29:57.720 --> 01:30:03.000 bit closer to that second item. Again, good looks, but not quite perfect. And against 01:30:03.000 --> 01:30:06.680 T1, it really has to be flawless if you're going to go for something like this. It's 01:30:06.680 --> 01:30:11.120 a clever start, tries to make the most of it, but unfortunately the full commit starts 01:30:11.120 --> 01:30:12.120 to cost him. 01:30:12.120 --> 01:30:17.080 It was really cool, but you could tell he's trying to turn as fast as he can. And Shelley 01:30:17.080 --> 01:30:21.480 kind of goes through that tower, but he just couldn't quite get the angle. And then tries 01:30:21.480 --> 01:30:26.280 to flag a drag out, quarter, move back up to get the locket down on him, and then they 01:30:26.280 --> 01:30:30.920 Doren show up. This is a beautiful all from yawn during that cast time. That is the nerfs to 01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:35.480 Invesa in action that decreased cast time on the alt uses that to killer instinct over the top of Doran 01:30:35.720 --> 01:30:37.920 Makes him miss otherwise that could have been even worse 01:30:37.920 --> 01:30:41.360 but Kour goes down for the the stints of Jose and 01:30:42.160 --> 01:30:44.160 You're gonna have to retake 01:30:44.760 --> 01:30:50.240 Reboc his license but guys cars have turning radiuses you guys are gonna be out there flipping me out as if you think cars could 01:30:50.240 --> 01:30:53.120 Just turn instantaneously like that. You gotta you gotta chill 01:30:53.120 --> 01:30:58.900 It's less about being able to turn faster. It's more about you don't try that kind of turn. I see I see yes 01:30:58.900 --> 01:31:00.900 You're going down the highway. You don't just try to do a 01:31:02.260 --> 01:31:08.200 License, so I don't know why Dean necessary to speak in this particular moment, but yeah, you're I'm gonna trust you on this one 01:31:08.200 --> 01:31:10.200 I was like you have a car you drive you know things 01:31:15.000 --> 01:31:18.500 Yeah, I could probably I could have made that no work I'd say I 01:31:18.500 --> 01:31:24.020 I would have break the stop sign personally, but I respect that I would have I would not gotten in the Herald 01:31:24.020 --> 01:31:27.460 Yeah, I mean where do you even drive the Herald from it's kind of weird when you think about it 01:31:27.460 --> 01:31:28.740 You're fully absorbed in its body 01:31:28.740 --> 01:31:32.860 I think and then you know it out the back order for this to be where are you coming? 01:31:32.860 --> 01:31:36.260 No, I think we all know I think we're not gonna talk about it cuz it's a family friendly show 01:31:36.500 --> 01:31:40.620 DL I'm not getting a copy and a little something from the t1 playbook 01:31:40.620 --> 01:31:47.140 It is the cheeky random Baron start and t1 t1. It's their playbook. They know this play 01:31:47.140 --> 01:31:51.260 They dropped the ward over the wall. They saw them there and he'll immediately backed off 01:31:51.260 --> 01:31:57.400 You can't sneak a 20 minute Baron against T1 because T1 is on their way to try to sneak a 20 minute Baron. That's the problem 01:32:00.340 --> 01:32:03.280 What do you mean this is embarrassing we were both trying to sneak it 01:32:03.280 --> 01:32:06.900 We have reservations. Let's just leave. Let's just leave. This is weird. We'll take dragon 01:32:07.180 --> 01:32:09.860 Which is I'm back in a couple minutes try to sneak it again 01:32:09.860 --> 01:32:14.060 Look, and I'm getting dragon not the best deal from TL, but they didn't all die at the Baron so that's decent 01:32:14.380 --> 01:32:17.060 Again, we check in on the items the thing we do very often 01:32:17.140 --> 01:32:21.860 Two completed items for Quid, but has stalled out a little bit as Faker's also grabbed a second. 01:32:21.860 --> 01:32:27.420 And Grylai's not the biggest raw power spike, but certainly an incredibly annoying item coming out from Faker. 01:32:27.420 --> 01:32:31.820 And with Paze doing so much damage, with Doran doing so much damage, he can opt for a utility item 01:32:31.820 --> 01:32:35.620 and still just be a giant pain for TL to try and navigate around. 01:32:35.620 --> 01:32:41.220 Yeah, we'll see exactly how TL are going to be able to play it out in these next fights. 01:32:41.220 --> 01:32:45.020 It is going to be Hextech's soul, but thankfully TL did get that one early Mountain Dragon, 01:32:45.020 --> 01:32:49.060 So they're not facing down Seoul in four minutes. It is facing down Seoul point 01:32:49.100 --> 01:32:50.740 Not something you want to give for free 01:32:50.740 --> 01:32:54.460 But at least it's not game ending by any means if you do give over that third dragon 01:32:54.740 --> 01:32:57.940 Whereas that fourth dragon will be a must you're gonna have to contest that 01:32:57.940 --> 01:33:01.060 I think if you want to stand a chance playing against Ezreal and Bard and Thalia 01:33:01.380 --> 01:33:06.620 With that hextech soul is just it's gonna be GG. So we'll see what TL can do 01:33:06.700 --> 01:33:09.940 Basically game is definitely slowed down over the last seven minutes or so 01:33:10.220 --> 01:33:14.140 But both teams are constantly posturing and looking for opportunities 01:33:14.140 --> 01:33:20.140 Both teams have done an excellent job not burning any major cooldowns, even when looking, when checking. 01:33:20.140 --> 01:33:23.140 Tiffany Flash has come down here. Flash forward on to Baker. 01:33:23.140 --> 01:33:26.140 Immediate engage. John coming over to the wall. Baker now in trouble, but he's able to flash out. 01:33:26.140 --> 01:33:30.140 Safety owner of beautiful disengage on the present guard and now Karrion locking down multiple livers. 01:33:30.140 --> 01:33:33.140 Looking to follow up. Morgan 1v1 off on the side, but it might not matter because Karrion is now running for the hills. 01:33:33.140 --> 01:33:37.140 Unfortunately, Team Liquid spent so much to finish off with support, and now they're in trouble. 01:33:37.140 --> 01:33:43.140 Paze flashing into melee range of two people. He is unconcerned. He is unstuck. 01:33:43.140 --> 01:33:45.440 Just continuing to free fire! 01:33:45.440 --> 01:33:47.240 A triple for the Ezreal! 01:33:47.240 --> 01:33:49.340 Yeah, a triple for the Ezreal, but Morgan is still alive. 01:33:49.340 --> 01:33:51.340 Quinn is getting out of there. They do get another kill, 01:33:51.340 --> 01:33:53.140 and now the realm orb coming through. 01:33:53.140 --> 01:33:55.540 Quinn will be able to exfiltrate the hot zone, 01:33:55.540 --> 01:33:59.940 but not before four members from TL go down. 01:33:59.940 --> 01:34:04.540 It's a fight won by T1 by the slimmest of margins there. 01:34:04.540 --> 01:34:08.540 Morgan just couldn't quite get in to actually join the fight, 01:34:08.540 --> 01:34:12.040 and Quinn not able to get that tiny bit of extra damage he needed 01:34:12.040 --> 01:34:14.680 it to be able to finish off phase. That's the gold difference in action. 01:34:14.680 --> 01:34:18.760 Still sticking around for a second. I don't think this is the play they're looking for, 01:34:18.760 --> 01:34:23.880 but consider it for a brief moment. And you highlighted it was an initial start that looks 01:34:23.880 --> 01:34:29.920 pretty solid for the side of Team Liquid Alienware. Check it out again now. Starts off with Faker 01:34:29.920 --> 01:34:34.360 and Trouble, but T1 recover beautifully. Yeah, it's a really nice Q flash in on to Faker, 01:34:34.360 --> 01:34:38.680 but they buy so much time for him here. The Ezreal goes through the whole team, Oner throws 01:34:38.680 --> 01:34:41.640 down the Crescent Guard to buy a lot of time, and then Jose and Yon are already kind of 01:34:41.640 --> 01:34:45.420 through this fight. Karrie goes for a Q flash which ends up being a rare misstep on the 01:34:45.420 --> 01:34:51.300 Bard. Whiffs on the Q flash, gets taken down, but T1 are back to live, back on Baron here. 01:34:51.300 --> 01:34:55.580 TL do know about it, but the question is can they do anything about it? It's going down fast. 01:34:55.580 --> 01:34:58.740 Well, Jose Diaz and no flash, and Karrie does have Altees doing aggressive disengages. Altees 01:34:58.740 --> 01:35:02.200 doesn't connect. Jose, time to make the score better in the 50-50s. Jose trying to make the 01:35:02.200 --> 01:35:08.460 difference, but outer! Once again, I look at 1 HP! This man refuses to lose an objective 01:35:08.460 --> 01:35:16.460 Morgan in trouble. T1 descending on TL. Nowhere left to run. 01:35:16.460 --> 01:35:19.460 And that is probably going to be enough here for T1. 01:35:19.460 --> 01:35:24.460 The A's team liquid. Oler wins another smite against Jose. 01:35:24.460 --> 01:35:29.460 It was down to 1 HP, but that is 1 HP too much for TL. 01:35:29.460 --> 01:35:34.460 And T1 wipe them off the map and take full control of this game here. 01:35:34.460 --> 01:35:37.460 They're not pushing for the end, but they are pushing three waves 01:35:37.460 --> 01:35:40.740 And looking to deal enough damage that this one is all wrapped up. 01:35:41.140 --> 01:35:42.740 Breaking open the base. 01:35:43.100 --> 01:35:47.540 An incredibly confident take, trusting an owner to win the 50-50, 01:35:47.540 --> 01:35:49.460 even if it's by the slimmest of margins. 01:35:49.460 --> 01:35:51.180 But T1, we saw in the previous fight, 01:35:51.340 --> 01:35:53.940 not afraid to play on the slimmest of margins. 01:35:53.940 --> 01:35:56.180 They always come out on top. 01:35:57.340 --> 01:35:59.460 You know, maybe gonna look for some exit kills. 01:35:59.460 --> 01:36:03.020 Punish T1 if they're overeager on recalling too soon, but... 01:36:04.340 --> 01:36:05.540 What a dominant fight. 01:36:05.540 --> 01:36:10.420 Yeah, I mean the smite was so close, but the reality is you're gonna lose the fighting if you get the smite 01:36:10.420 --> 01:36:16.900 And that's more why T1 are willing to actually flip this core goes in you know hex flash over stuns up owner in comes 01:36:16.900 --> 01:36:23.100 Jose the initial spike brought it to something above one and then it went to one two seventy eight one and then so I'm 01:36:23.100 --> 01:36:24.900 Not even sure whose auto attack that was you know 01:36:24.900 --> 01:36:29.980 I'm not sure if that was like a Jose auto queue that that actually you know brought back down or accused might or something like that 01:36:30.260 --> 01:36:33.360 But either way it goes the way of T1 the reality is though 01:36:33.360 --> 01:36:36.680 I think even if he steals that, they're very likely to still get ace. 01:36:36.680 --> 01:36:39.160 Maybe the rest of the carries just back off or something and you can get a 01:36:39.160 --> 01:36:40.040 couple of Barons out. 01:36:40.440 --> 01:36:43.320 Um, but unfortunately that is not the way the cookie grumbles. 01:36:43.320 --> 01:36:48.000 And last time these two teams fought owner was winning every single 50 50. 01:36:48.400 --> 01:36:51.080 And, uh, he picks up where he left off in this series. 01:36:51.080 --> 01:36:53.600 And that's a backbreaker for our production tract at right. 01:36:53.600 --> 01:36:56.960 Five Oh now six Oh on those 50 changes. 01:36:56.960 --> 01:36:59.840 That's it's their kind of, it's kind of messed up again. 01:36:59.960 --> 01:37:02.960 We got a lot of EU producers here and he is a really nice guy. 01:37:02.960 --> 01:37:04.320 really good Lee Sin. 01:37:04.320 --> 01:37:05.560 That's why T1 banned it. 01:37:05.560 --> 01:37:08.000 Maybe he'll get a shot at it in game two for now though. 01:37:08.000 --> 01:37:10.080 Survival is the name of the game for TL 01:37:10.080 --> 01:37:13.120 and it is a tall task with a baron empowered T1 01:37:13.120 --> 01:37:15.120 pushing in on the top side of the map. 01:37:16.360 --> 01:37:18.480 Blake connects on to Morgan. 01:37:18.480 --> 01:37:20.720 Monsters procs, could be engaged on the owner. 01:37:20.720 --> 01:37:22.320 Yon's still living for an extra second. 01:37:22.320 --> 01:37:25.080 Snipe though coming through, crucially on to Morgan. 01:37:26.560 --> 01:37:28.800 The Seeker not gonna connect T1 losing a member 01:37:28.800 --> 01:37:30.920 but are still going to break open the base. 01:37:30.920 --> 01:37:32.440 TP is there. 01:37:32.440 --> 01:37:35.680 Four Doran just to get re-into the fight. 01:37:35.680 --> 01:37:36.800 He won. 01:37:36.800 --> 01:37:39.120 A poise to end it here. 01:37:39.120 --> 01:37:40.560 Yeah, Faker is still coming out of base, 01:37:40.560 --> 01:37:42.440 so he's going to be running out there. 01:37:42.440 --> 01:37:43.640 When Dragon's on the map, Doran's 01:37:43.640 --> 01:37:45.040 going to whiff on the ultimate here. 01:37:45.040 --> 01:37:46.080 TL trying to hold on. 01:37:46.080 --> 01:37:47.480 They're looking for an engage with Core. 01:37:47.480 --> 01:37:49.000 Core right into the backline. 01:37:49.000 --> 01:37:50.280 Blackboard looking to lock up a haste. 01:37:50.280 --> 01:37:51.520 Pays two quick on the trigger, though. 01:37:51.520 --> 01:37:53.080 Manages to jump out just in time. 01:37:53.080 --> 01:37:54.400 Tempord, bait connecting under two. 01:37:54.400 --> 01:37:55.680 Kerry looking for the perfect setup. 01:37:55.680 --> 01:37:56.880 Nails it on to Quinn. 01:37:56.880 --> 01:38:00.040 Cataclysm across the team and down goes the rise. 01:38:00.040 --> 01:38:02.280 TL found some good fights, but they 01:38:02.280 --> 01:38:06.120 could not get their footing in this game is T1 tear right through him. 01:38:07.080 --> 01:38:09.840 A beautiful game one here from T1. 01:38:10.760 --> 01:38:11.880 TL made him work for it. 01:38:11.880 --> 01:38:15.160 They scrapped with him, but it was T1 in control. 01:38:15.160 --> 01:38:15.960 Start to finish. 01:38:15.960 --> 01:38:19.120 It's them coming up in the big moments as they did in the last game. 01:38:19.600 --> 01:38:22.920 And what a turnaround here from Doran compared to Morgan Desk. 01:38:23.120 --> 01:38:25.160 What do you think about it? 01:38:25.160 --> 01:38:27.440 It's always it's always the same thing with this team. 01:38:27.440 --> 01:38:28.960 It's they give you hope. 01:38:28.960 --> 01:38:33.760 They give you something to just grab on to and then they take it away from you. 01:38:33.760 --> 01:38:37.600 It's the small details once again that make the difference here for T1. 01:38:37.600 --> 01:38:39.840 I don't like the fact that Azale asked us that question. 01:38:39.840 --> 01:38:41.240 He knows the answer. 01:38:41.240 --> 01:38:43.200 I'm not going to be happy about that. 01:38:43.200 --> 01:38:43.800 What the hell? 01:38:43.800 --> 01:38:44.680 Look at his face over there. 01:38:44.680 --> 01:38:45.640 You know what he did. 01:38:45.640 --> 01:38:48.400 He's got it all from ear to ear. 01:38:48.400 --> 01:38:51.200 That was really to just play that one more time. 01:38:51.200 --> 01:38:54.360 Because I thought that Team Liquid did a great job of being able to catch out 01:38:54.360 --> 01:38:56.400 the classic T1 Baron. 01:38:56.400 --> 01:38:56.760 Yeah. 01:38:56.760 --> 01:38:57.920 Like again and again. 01:38:57.920 --> 01:38:59.920 In fact, they tried to do it themselves! 01:38:59.920 --> 01:39:05.720 It looked like it was going to be that moment, and maybe that moment of redemption for Jose Diodo with those smites. 01:39:05.720 --> 01:39:07.720 But he just couldn't quite find us. 01:39:07.720 --> 01:39:15.920 This was insane, because even missing on the Baradultimus, going in McCord JJ, they set up and won HB! 01:39:15.920 --> 01:39:19.520 And then both of them in the pit, it's Doran who's able to get the double kill. 01:39:19.520 --> 01:39:23.920 It's a good public execution to follow up, and this was really the nail in the coffin. 01:39:23.920 --> 01:39:26.960 Because TL, it kind of always felt within touching distance. 01:39:26.960 --> 01:39:31.120 Yes, T1 were in the lead, but it felt like it could really blow up in their favor, 01:39:31.120 --> 01:39:33.880 especially with the composition they had, but that one kind of sealed the deal. 01:39:33.880 --> 01:39:36.840 It did, it did, and I felt like Team Liquid played that. 01:39:37.440 --> 01:39:40.480 They played the later portions of that game so well. 01:39:40.480 --> 01:39:41.520 So many of those teamfights. 01:39:41.520 --> 01:39:43.360 Once again, Jose Dioto was doing so well. 01:39:43.360 --> 01:39:45.040 OK, Raz, we were talking about Top lane, 01:39:45.040 --> 01:39:48.320 we were talking about how Lord Morgan could make the difference here. 01:39:48.320 --> 01:39:51.000 Yeah. A lot of deaths on the snars. 01:39:51.000 --> 01:39:51.720 That did happen. 01:39:51.720 --> 01:39:53.560 Yeah, it did indeed happen. 01:39:53.560 --> 01:40:02.280 It was a positive difference. Yeah, fortunately, and I feel like Doran heard all the stuff we were talking about earlier on in the show because 01:40:02.280 --> 01:40:08.080 I had for X reflex replay he played that early 1v1 against Morgan so well 01:40:08.360 --> 01:40:13.740 Like on that in Bessa a pick that he's about to get a T1 skin on like a world skin on the 01:40:14.080 --> 01:40:17.160 Buffer that he had on his ultimate to the 01:40:17.560 --> 01:40:18.920 Alti from Morgan 01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:23.520 I thought really made this one perfect the wall comes through but he all buffer all to the entire way through that fly 01:40:23.520 --> 01:40:29.360 over the boulder by the way over the boulder and the follow-up from Morgan so he is able to like 01:40:29.360 --> 01:40:34.880 capitalize on the mistake that Morgan played he played that so damn well even to step up after 01:40:34.880 --> 01:40:39.760 the ultimate as well so he just barely gets him away from the wall denies the cc that would have been 01:40:39.760 --> 01:40:44.800 his death like picture perfect from Doran there's too many things you have to be careful about when 01:40:44.800 --> 01:40:51.120 you play against T1 and i feel like liquid came with a lot of fire here sadly it hasn't been enough 01:40:51.120 --> 01:40:56.960 Why do we have to show Kiraia running the show once again? He said it in his interview on stage guys 01:40:56.960 --> 01:41:02.200 I haven't played Bart too much lately leave it open. I'm bad in the champion. He's baiting everybody here 01:41:02.200 --> 01:41:04.600 Yeah, he is and he got the word from 01:41:05.320 --> 01:41:10.800 From Doran top lane, but yeah, I got an advantage. We get some help. Yeah, we're getting the entire team pops 01:41:11.040 --> 01:41:17.280 That's the crazy part to me and all of this is that like we came in and we saw T1 even the regular split domestically 01:41:17.280 --> 01:41:20.160 And then also come into this tournament. It was we're gonna play around Bob 01:41:20.160 --> 01:41:25.220 We're gonna play around fun and this time around it's play for Doron ready to take down Morgan 01:41:25.220 --> 01:41:29.520 And they did it numerous times in the early game that really led to this big advantage 01:41:29.520 --> 01:41:32.280 Yeah, I even just that one play even though it didn't lead to a death 01:41:32.280 --> 01:41:38.040 Guess what it lost to a lot of dead minions in the top set of the map that we put like that Morgan couldn't get to so a lot 01:41:38.040 --> 01:41:41.340 Of the times you're right and then very annoying barred from carrier 01:41:41.340 --> 01:41:44.920 But he shows it improves it to us constantly that he can make it happen 01:41:44.920 --> 01:41:48.360 And they wanted to test it to see if we can get it out of the way in game one 01:41:48.360 --> 01:41:52.160 And yeah, he killed us on you can even see in the screens there as well even without that help pays 01:41:52.360 --> 01:41:55.680 That is where it was absolutely insane. It's off. It's cinema across the board 01:41:55.680 --> 01:42:00.320 It feels like some T1 and they're gonna figure out game to I've back to the drawing board so far 01:42:00.320 --> 01:42:06.120 It's you on opens up this for against team liquid Alienware. Let's see what they can come up in game two bodies out 01:42:06.120 --> 01:42:11.040 You know what it gets better. It does get better. It does get better 01:43:18.360 --> 01:43:27.200 of the offseason blues once world is over? Fear not, because League of Legends is coming 01:43:27.200 --> 01:43:32.360 to the very first Esports Nations Cup, where players split from their clubs and compete 01:43:32.360 --> 01:43:38.920 for national pride. Will China test every limit imaginable? Will South Korea turn every 01:43:38.920 --> 01:43:44.760 game into a macro masterclass? Will EU and NA actually play in the correct alliance? 01:43:44.760 --> 01:43:47.680 The final event of the year is not to be missed. 01:43:47.680 --> 01:43:50.120 Esports Nation's Cup 2026. 01:43:50.120 --> 01:43:51.520 See you in Riyadh. 01:43:53.240 --> 01:43:55.840 Oh, no, I don't want to take it to the other side. 01:43:55.840 --> 01:43:58.520 I don't want to take it to the other side. 01:43:58.520 --> 01:44:00.520 I'm taking it to the other side. 01:45:14.760 --> 01:45:20.760 expanding. So players can focus on the game and fans can focus on the moment. 01:45:44.760 --> 01:46:08.240 The infinite precision armrest is part of the largest you can learn on stage standard initiative, 01:46:08.240 --> 01:46:12.240 to bring your home or training settings to the tournament stage. 01:46:12.240 --> 01:46:17.240 Not only that, other players will also make the setting more natural. 01:46:17.240 --> 01:46:21.240 The most comfortable, more powerful play comes out naturally. 01:49:38.240 --> 01:50:01.520 to play in the game, Team Liquid Alienware, and T1 up, 1-0, and while there were a large 01:50:01.520 --> 01:50:08.000 number of incredibly, incredibly scrappy fights, those last few reminded us just why T1, some 01:50:08.000 --> 01:50:10.800 might say are you know one of the best in the world I think would be pretty safe 01:50:10.800 --> 01:50:13.760 to say I might say there might be some metrics we could use to track that might 01:50:13.760 --> 01:50:18.080 be some trophy we might be some of them everyone might be some of them yeah they 01:50:18.080 --> 01:50:22.080 they did what T1 does and they took over in teamfights there was a lot of slim 01:50:22.080 --> 01:50:27.120 margins in that game but at the end of the day ifs and buts and you know good 01:50:27.120 --> 01:50:30.120 of what it doesn't really matter right you have the game ended how the game 01:50:30.120 --> 01:50:33.880 ended didn't quite get that solo kill if the Megan R hits the wall he I think he 01:50:33.880 --> 01:50:37.040 has the damage with Q flash to kill him maybe top lane looks different maybe the 01:50:37.040 --> 01:50:39.640 whole game looks different because they were very proactive on the map elsewhere. 01:50:39.640 --> 01:50:42.200 If they get this night, maybe they can get out and do different things. 01:50:42.200 --> 01:50:44.400 But these are not what happened, so it doesn't really matter. 01:50:44.400 --> 01:50:47.880 TL have to just try to reset and go back at them. 01:50:47.880 --> 01:50:52.120 And it is really, really hard because you can feel like you're doing so many things right, 01:50:52.120 --> 01:50:57.520 but it can feel a little hopeless against a team like T1 because you look at the game from Qwid. 01:50:57.520 --> 01:51:03.560 If I'm Qwid, I feel like basically everything I did was great from the vast majority of that game. 01:51:03.560 --> 01:51:08.720 He was everywhere. He was roaming the jungle fights. He was going down to bot lane ghosting covering again getting killed there 01:51:08.720 --> 01:51:11.920 They're rum warping elsewhere looking for another kill forcing summoners doing plays 01:51:12.320 --> 01:51:17.400 But you still lost right so it's gonna be difficult to try to just kind of have that mental reset and talk about 01:51:17.840 --> 01:51:21.640 Exactly what you want to change when you only have a handful of minutes going to the second game 01:51:21.640 --> 01:51:27.680 You can't wait a ton on these little things you have to think about what can we actually fix for the next game and quick mental reset 01:51:27.680 --> 01:51:29.360 Let's go again 01:51:29.360 --> 01:51:35.560 GL a number of interviews coming out for that first series with T1 or even have to series with KC talking about you know taking the losses in stride 01:51:36.400 --> 01:51:41.160 So optimism if they can just come back into this game full force 01:51:41.160 --> 01:51:46.220 However, they do now finally have they get to participate in the right of first selection after losing out in that first game this time 01:51:46.220 --> 01:51:49.520 They've opted for blue side to be one opting for first pick so 01:51:50.600 --> 01:51:56.440 Priority here, but he almost have luxury of that counter picks we get later in the draft and as much as a lot of people are gonna say 01:51:56.440 --> 01:51:59.640 Well, you should have been barred. Well, at least they don't have been barred for the rest of series 01:51:59.640 --> 01:52:03.800 Right, you know and that is kind of the argument sometimes that coaches will make and saying that hey 01:52:03.800 --> 01:52:07.280 Yeah, I could get barred for all the games, but if we're gonna be t1 01:52:07.280 --> 01:52:08.880 It's probably gonna be a long series 01:52:08.880 --> 01:52:13.560 It's probably gonna be five games and do I want to spend five fans over the course of a series on the barred 01:52:13.600 --> 01:52:19.560 You know, so people kind of look at it that way. Yeah, it is going to be Jase as the top lane blind pick 01:52:19.560 --> 01:52:23.040 York is up and available and is picked that a lot of people really like these days 01:52:23.040 --> 01:52:25.340 The question is, do you want to play that style? 01:52:25.340 --> 01:52:27.140 I'm always a big fan of Malphite too, 01:52:27.140 --> 01:52:29.140 but I don't think you really do Malphite this early. 01:52:29.140 --> 01:52:31.640 But I do think Malphite is excellent into the Jace. 01:52:31.640 --> 01:52:34.640 It can really be a difficult matchup for them to deal with, 01:52:34.640 --> 01:52:36.440 but it's kind of something that's pretty conditional 01:52:36.440 --> 01:52:38.640 that you go later in a draft if they have, you know, 01:52:38.640 --> 01:52:40.640 if they're playing Ash Seraphine and Jace, 01:52:40.640 --> 01:52:42.240 and you know, like, lost a low mobility, 01:52:42.240 --> 01:52:44.440 then it can be kind of a pretty nice pick, 01:52:44.440 --> 01:52:46.440 but we'll see where they want to go. 01:52:46.440 --> 01:52:48.240 And Nocturne is up, though, 01:52:48.240 --> 01:52:50.040 they have banned the Orianna themselves, 01:52:50.040 --> 01:52:51.440 so they won't have that pairing. 01:52:51.440 --> 01:52:57.200 Because does lend itself to more split push which makes me believe in New York a little bit more right if you want to play through 01:52:57.280 --> 01:53:00.280 Side lanes then what better jungler to have 01:53:00.680 --> 01:53:05.460 Then not turn that makes a lot of sense right this semi-global pressure the ability to shut down 01:53:05.460 --> 01:53:07.800 you know potential TPs etc, but 01:53:08.960 --> 01:53:15.120 Flickthroughs here from tl it is going to be the rumble so something that Morgan has been comfortable on and now paired alongside the 01:53:15.120 --> 01:53:18.200 Not turn a lot of these really nice ultimates coming through 01:53:18.200 --> 01:53:22.480 So I think they're looking at it less for the sideline than if you're gonna go rumble and more for the team fight 01:53:22.520 --> 01:53:26.560 So what they are clearly missing now is the piece that holds everyone together, right? 01:53:26.560 --> 01:53:31.240 So you then you're thinking about things like the noddles because rel is gone Jarvan is gone 01:53:32.080 --> 01:53:36.000 Lee sin obviously, you know, they did leave it up and owner is an incredible Lee sin 01:53:36.000 --> 01:53:38.000 this would be a great time to pick it because 01:53:38.240 --> 01:53:42.840 You don't have to worry about pose a taking it for the rest of the series. You don't have to worry about banning it 01:53:42.840 --> 01:53:46.800 Yeah, so they're gonna take it away and owner is an absolutely stellar Lee sin 01:53:46.800 --> 01:53:52.640 So it's not like he's taking a hit by it by picking as well. I know he is ridiculously good on it 01:53:53.780 --> 01:53:56.480 This course is scary prospect owner on the least 01:53:56.480 --> 01:54:01.100 I know to do the prioritizing that not for the champion can still offer a lot of that immediate utility 01:54:01.100 --> 01:54:02.920 But there will be some eyes on owner in the early game 01:54:02.920 --> 01:54:08.840 So you can get that snowball rolling as you want to bait what the final pick here is going to be 01:54:09.280 --> 01:54:13.460 Yeah, thank you for your options, you know, do they want to early pick me and then you know try to set up 01:54:13.460 --> 01:54:19.040 So it is going to be Lissandra, so this is pretty interesting because you do expose yourself to some of the more difficult matchups 01:54:19.040 --> 01:54:25.460 People love Lissandra in a matchups like LeBlanc, you know some of these champions that are really dependent upon mobility 01:54:25.460 --> 01:54:26.820 They can walk them down 01:54:26.820 --> 01:54:29.780 Quid is a very good Lissandra. You could go for this type of angle 01:54:29.780 --> 01:54:35.060 You can also go things like Victor, if you just want to kind of like look to play in scale, have that AoE damage in teamfights 01:54:35.060 --> 01:54:39.980 And Syngra is something that has also been rising in priority here at MSI 01:54:39.980 --> 01:54:43.060 But I'm more believing the Sylas simply because it's Quidd. 01:54:43.060 --> 01:54:46.300 And I feel like anytime there's a good melee champion angle, 01:54:46.300 --> 01:54:47.380 Quidd wants to take it. 01:54:47.380 --> 01:54:50.700 And TL are such believers in his ability on these champions. 01:54:50.700 --> 01:54:51.900 He's good on the control mages. 01:54:51.900 --> 01:54:52.980 He played a great rise game. 01:54:52.980 --> 01:54:54.740 But this is his bread and butter, a call. 01:54:54.740 --> 01:54:56.020 He's Sylas, Yoane. 01:54:56.020 --> 01:54:57.740 These types of champs, if you give him an angle, 01:54:57.740 --> 01:54:58.940 he always wants to take it. 01:54:58.940 --> 01:55:01.620 Yeah, Sylas a fantastic champion in those early skirmishes. 01:55:01.620 --> 01:55:03.420 And seeing that was on the opposite side 01:55:03.420 --> 01:55:05.460 just gives you a little bit more of the reliable CC 01:55:05.460 --> 01:55:06.940 that I think, TL, we're missing, right? 01:55:06.940 --> 01:55:08.620 We said we need something to hold this all together. 01:55:08.620 --> 01:55:10.740 You've got a lot of great tools to get fight started. 01:55:10.740 --> 01:55:12.340 You've got a lot of follow-up damage with the rumble, 01:55:12.340 --> 01:55:15.520 but a little more CC definitely makes the job a bit easier 01:55:15.520 --> 01:55:16.180 overall. 01:55:16.180 --> 01:55:19.100 Now, recognizing the amount of AD already present on the enemy 01:55:19.100 --> 01:55:21.420 team, maybe thinking ahead of what the bot lane matches are 01:55:21.420 --> 01:55:23.460 going to look like, they've taken away the Ziggs. 01:55:23.460 --> 01:55:27.100 Mel, perhaps something that we could see as well. 01:55:27.100 --> 01:55:29.820 We'll see if they are going to take that away without Mel. 01:55:29.820 --> 01:55:32.980 This is the first Los Andres at an international since 2023 01:55:32.980 --> 01:55:33.460 world. 01:55:33.460 --> 01:55:35.020 So it has been quite a while. 01:55:35.020 --> 01:55:37.140 The new picks continue to come here. 01:55:37.140 --> 01:55:42.380 And it's gonna be the Nautilus that I called out, you know, that is kind of like what you lose out on by dropping that pick to three 01:55:42.460 --> 01:55:47.660 You know, they clearly were maybe a bit more worried about Salis getting banned out or maybe they were never even thinking about the Nautilus 01:55:47.660 --> 01:55:51.660 But it was immediately where my head went just because Jarvan and Rella are already gone 01:55:51.660 --> 01:55:55.340 There's such obvious bang with the Rumble, but Nautilus can be kind of felt like the next in line 01:55:55.820 --> 01:56:00.340 So the question is do Mel and potentially another engage support get banned out? 01:56:00.780 --> 01:56:03.820 Because yes, like you you can use Nocturne and Alt as a go button 01:56:03.820 --> 01:56:09.460 But you don't want that to be your only go blood. You want some sort of CC to lock them in the rumble all and it's better if it is like 01:56:09.460 --> 01:56:11.460 Alistar flash combos then the 01:56:11.660 --> 01:56:18.120 Nocturne comes in then the rumble all comes in like obviously they have Silas to steal as Elizabeth's under all and try to use that as 01:56:18.220 --> 01:56:22.940 Kind of a bit of engage but still feel like you need a bit more lockdown and I really like that they 01:56:23.420 --> 01:56:28.640 Off to demand the Calista way here right traditionally really good against a lot of these shorter range kind of melee champions 01:56:28.640 --> 01:56:34.720 and also just having access to that all he does mean that no longer is to support an easy pick opportunity an easy angle to 01:56:34.720 --> 01:56:37.780 Look for something with that knock turn. So and of course because he pays 01:56:38.180 --> 01:56:41.220 Dominate on it the last time they play I think that's a good point 01:56:41.220 --> 01:56:46.360 And I think additionally they're kind of looking at it as sometimes of pairing with Renata and we're not as a really good 01:56:46.360 --> 01:56:50.740 Against dive wrong. So if you give them an easy angle for a super powerful to be to like plus the plus Renata 01:56:51.140 --> 01:56:56.500 The allowed is great against doctrine dive hostile takeover is great against all these melee champions running at you 01:56:56.500 --> 01:56:58.960 So I do think it's kind of like a bit of a two-pronged ban 01:56:58.960 --> 01:57:01.280 not that you can never play Renato with other things. 01:57:01.280 --> 01:57:01.780 Sure. 01:57:01.780 --> 01:57:05.860 That is the most common and most powerful 2v2 pairing for her. 01:57:05.860 --> 01:57:08.260 And so it would be interesting to see where they go. 01:57:08.260 --> 01:57:09.820 Teal definitely needs some more physical damage. 01:57:09.820 --> 01:57:14.220 You do have Nocturne, but Ferris does kind of fit the bill here. 01:57:14.220 --> 01:57:16.660 And just waiting for last pick from CORE. 01:57:16.660 --> 01:57:18.740 So there is always that possibility of them 01:57:18.740 --> 01:57:20.820 getting a bit spicy and flexing things around. 01:57:20.820 --> 01:57:21.420 Yeah. 01:57:21.420 --> 01:57:23.060 I don't really see it happening here, 01:57:23.060 --> 01:57:25.460 but I think they just want to get a better 2v2. 01:57:25.460 --> 01:57:28.140 So they're saying, you know what, Verus is a strong laner. 01:57:28.140 --> 01:57:29.300 We're going to hold Corse pick. 01:57:29.300 --> 01:57:31.580 We're going to see what the 2v2 is from 2-1. 01:57:31.580 --> 01:57:33.420 And then we're going to try to pick off for Luthor. 01:57:33.420 --> 01:57:35.660 He is my assumption based on Orsi. 01:57:35.660 --> 01:57:37.380 And we're having a winning 2v2 here. 01:57:37.380 --> 01:57:38.060 Get a page of it. 01:57:38.060 --> 01:57:39.780 We've seen how good Pays and Carey are, 01:57:39.780 --> 01:57:42.060 and close to even natural, or even in a slightly favored 01:57:42.060 --> 01:57:42.460 matchup. 01:57:42.460 --> 01:57:44.220 And it looks like they want to take over. 01:57:44.220 --> 01:57:46.380 Lucian Millio offering a lot of range 01:57:46.380 --> 01:57:49.260 to that calling as we get later, but just such a powerhouse. 01:57:49.260 --> 01:57:51.940 I mean, the interaction between these two champions. 01:57:51.940 --> 01:57:53.260 Millio's replaced Nami. 01:57:53.260 --> 01:57:54.540 The new Premier pairing. 01:57:54.540 --> 01:57:56.460 And it has just so strong. 01:57:56.460 --> 01:57:57.820 It is really, really powerful. 01:57:57.820 --> 01:57:59.980 And you're also thinking about that, right? 01:57:59.980 --> 01:58:02.260 You're thinking about all of these tools coming in. 01:58:02.260 --> 01:58:03.500 And then you've got breath of life. 01:58:03.500 --> 01:58:05.900 You've got ultimate attack to deal with non-fans with that. 01:58:05.900 --> 01:58:07.340 You've got the home leg shields. 01:58:07.340 --> 01:58:08.980 Alistar, the other pick that I mentioned, 01:58:08.980 --> 01:58:10.700 after Nautilus has banned out. 01:58:10.700 --> 01:58:11.740 It's not playing for lane. 01:58:11.740 --> 01:58:13.380 It is playing for comp. 01:58:13.380 --> 01:58:16.980 But they are going to see what everything is 01:58:16.980 --> 01:58:18.940 as far as the comp for team one. 01:58:18.940 --> 01:58:19.740 And then they're going to say, you know what? 01:58:19.740 --> 01:58:20.820 We're going to go Alistar. 01:58:20.820 --> 01:58:21.700 We need that lock down. 01:58:21.700 --> 01:58:22.540 We need that engage. 01:58:22.540 --> 01:58:26.060 I think this style of champion really does suit core the question is 01:58:26.500 --> 01:58:32.300 How brutal is it to be too gonna be because you picked very first wrong lane and then you picked a pile on to go next to him, right? 01:58:32.300 --> 01:58:36.060 And I mean Alice I just can't do anything your traffic cone like you can go W 01:58:36.060 --> 01:58:39.340 Number one and turn and knock them away. You're so completely right 01:58:39.340 --> 01:58:43.660 I think this is the struggle right is that oftentimes we see the vision of what TL have put together 01:58:44.060 --> 01:58:47.980 But getting through that laning phase. Let's get through the laning to survive. Go fifty five 01:58:47.980 --> 01:58:49.420 What did we say last time? 01:58:49.420 --> 01:58:52.420 Just survive against the Ezreal Bard, and they died. 01:58:52.420 --> 01:58:53.540 And it wasn't the end of the world. 01:58:53.540 --> 01:58:54.940 They did find ways back into the game. 01:58:54.940 --> 01:58:57.980 But TL, I think, really hoping for a situation. 01:58:57.980 --> 01:58:59.220 Yeah, I'm sorry, buddy. 01:58:59.220 --> 01:59:00.620 Yeah, I shouldn't make assumptions like that. 01:59:00.620 --> 01:59:01.060 That's fine. 01:59:01.060 --> 01:59:01.540 You're right. 01:59:01.540 --> 01:59:01.740 You're right. 01:59:01.740 --> 01:59:02.500 That's my mistake. 01:59:02.500 --> 01:59:04.980 Well, hopefully your world won't end in the laning phase 01:59:04.980 --> 01:59:05.700 this time. 01:59:05.700 --> 01:59:07.300 I think Alistar's fight, which is the best. 01:59:07.300 --> 01:59:08.780 Yes, yes, that is true. 01:59:08.780 --> 01:59:11.260 I think we are going to see a similar setup to how the 2v2 01:59:11.260 --> 01:59:12.540 was played in the last one, where 01:59:12.540 --> 01:59:15.460 we saw Bard and Ezreal in the brush, 01:59:15.460 --> 01:59:20.080 looking to chunk you level one, looking to play for that passive from Emilio plus 01:59:20.080 --> 01:59:24.460 Arden Blaze, you know, trying to get that damage down as much as possible. 01:59:24.880 --> 01:59:28.080 Because they know Alistar needs at least level three before he can really play the 01:59:28.080 --> 01:59:33.400 game. And then even at level three, it must carry it. He's just, is using his Q for 01:59:33.400 --> 01:59:37.280 harass. Basically the only way you're going in is if you flash, right? I'm just 01:59:37.280 --> 01:59:40.600 going to assume that every time you walk at him in combo, he's going to Q you. 01:59:40.600 --> 01:59:42.840 You have to assume that with carry, a player of his level. 01:59:42.840 --> 01:59:48.280 Yeah, and it's just he doesn't need to use the Q for damn it. He just doesn't have to he's not under any pressure is 01:59:48.840 --> 01:59:52.680 Wait opting for a bold skin choice. I will say but if it pays off it will be a 01:59:53.480 --> 01:59:59.000 Nice little dig a nice little twist of the night or you look at that way. I'm looking at like respect 01:59:59.000 --> 02:00:04.400 I'm playing against the goat here. I'm gonna rock the goat skin. That's fair. That's a good way to look at it 02:00:04.400 --> 02:00:10.680 Oh, yeah, much more positive interpretation. I mean, I think everyone who plays mid lane faker is your idol, right? 02:00:10.680 --> 02:00:15.680 This guy is who everyone wants to be this guy is who you know everyone is trying to 02:00:15.960 --> 02:00:19.080 Imitate is trying to have that level of success. W back 02:00:20.200 --> 02:00:27.000 Glacial just to stop some of the potential follow-up here as predicted. That's that's all we're gonna get from the Alistar. He's walking menacingly 02:00:29.000 --> 02:00:33.280 Kerry is standing back menacing rain it seems to be working more well, yes 02:00:33.280 --> 02:00:40.780 Yes, of course, Vendetta is Riftbound's next set arriving July 31st, it brings together 02:00:40.780 --> 02:00:44.780 a new champion's iconic rivalries and beautiful art from across Runeterra. 02:00:44.780 --> 02:00:47.900 That was Jason's Vendetta card, but instead of looking at that, look at this real Jason 02:00:47.900 --> 02:00:49.100 right in front of you. 02:00:49.100 --> 02:00:53.700 And we're about to see Morgan get, you know, Vendetta against the Goran. 02:00:53.700 --> 02:00:54.700 That's true, that's true. 02:00:54.700 --> 02:00:55.700 It tries in beautifully. 02:00:55.700 --> 02:00:56.860 Thank you, Riftbound team. 02:00:56.860 --> 02:01:01.460 There are some, does feel like Top Lane is the Thunderdome for potential solo kills, 02:01:01.460 --> 02:01:02.300 Oh no. 02:01:02.300 --> 02:01:04.300 Paker with the slow number himself, first blood! 02:01:05.900 --> 02:01:07.580 Oh my gosh, it's an execute. 02:01:07.580 --> 02:01:09.220 It's an execute on top of that 02:01:09.220 --> 02:01:12.740 and you'd wear the man's clothes, he wasn't too pleased. 02:01:12.740 --> 02:01:15.020 Nope, take off those pants. 02:01:15.020 --> 02:01:16.980 New skin, remake, get him a new skin. 02:01:16.980 --> 02:01:17.820 Get that off of you. 02:01:17.820 --> 02:01:18.940 Get that skin off. 02:01:18.940 --> 02:01:21.620 Well, beautifully played there by Faker. 02:01:21.620 --> 02:01:23.700 He's playing Ignite Flash 02:01:23.700 --> 02:01:25.460 and we didn't get a chance to touch on it 02:01:25.460 --> 02:01:27.260 but he's able to use that combat summoner, 02:01:27.260 --> 02:01:29.820 really bowling out quick here early. 02:01:29.820 --> 02:01:31.060 Has him chunked low, 02:01:31.060 --> 02:01:35.540 hits level 3, and when you were that low, Ignite just adds so much kill threat here. 02:01:35.540 --> 02:01:40.500 And because Quinn wasn't able to get any damage down onto Thaker when he goes for it, 02:01:40.500 --> 02:01:43.860 steps forward, doesn't even get level 3, excuse me, I think that came from the kill, 02:01:43.860 --> 02:01:49.140 so just Q flash, W, Ignite, auto, that's more than enough, well played, 02:01:49.140 --> 02:01:52.660 and you can see Quinn, a little bit frustrated, but still a smile on his face. 02:01:52.660 --> 02:01:57.300 Thaker's stone cold though, he didn't even react, just another day of the day at the office. 02:01:57.300 --> 02:02:05.300 For you, it was the most important series of your year. For me, it was, it was a Wednesday, Thursday, whatever day it is, it all blurs together. 02:02:05.300 --> 02:02:06.300 League of Legends Day. 02:02:06.300 --> 02:02:11.300 Another T1 related news. This is actually completely crazy. Please look at the left side of the screen. 02:02:11.300 --> 02:02:17.300 Karrion has passed Faker for international assists. Most assists of any player. 02:02:17.300 --> 02:02:23.300 You know what has to happen now? Karrion and Faker have to roll swap. We need to get the go-worses. 02:02:23.300 --> 02:02:26.340 versus a classic until carries at the top of the kill leaderboard. 02:02:26.340 --> 02:02:27.760 We're going to have to swap. 02:02:27.760 --> 02:02:30.320 Or did it and you're going to be a couple of young getting much, much lower. 02:02:30.320 --> 02:02:31.520 The fall up is there for Monter. 02:02:31.520 --> 02:02:34.800 It's an easy kill coming through flashing from court to get a kill back. 02:02:34.800 --> 02:02:37.060 That Tower shot finish in the job core. 02:02:37.060 --> 02:02:38.320 Good return kill. 02:02:38.320 --> 02:02:44.040 But look at the CS or don't if you're a North American fan because it's 31 to 13. 02:02:44.040 --> 02:02:45.200 And that is the problem. 02:02:45.200 --> 02:02:50.000 Core plays it pretty darn well there and you know, is able to get one back. 02:02:50.000 --> 02:02:51.360 But now for dead. 02:02:51.360 --> 02:02:56.000 Good bit coming in from Kariah, pays waiting in the darkness. 02:02:56.000 --> 02:02:59.120 He got the recall and already come through. 02:02:59.120 --> 02:03:00.600 I don't know why he thought it already 02:03:00.600 --> 02:03:03.520 come through though, because they shouldn't really 02:03:03.520 --> 02:03:05.480 have super decent recall timing there. 02:03:05.480 --> 02:03:06.480 I wouldn't have thought. 02:03:06.480 --> 02:03:08.080 I'm a little bit confused at the play. 02:03:08.080 --> 02:03:11.160 Yeah, after he hit that first hit of damage onto Kariah, 02:03:11.160 --> 02:03:12.760 he really thought Paze was just wasn't there 02:03:12.760 --> 02:03:15.200 and continued to step forward in it. 02:03:15.200 --> 02:03:16.680 Well, it cost him dearly, owner. 02:03:16.680 --> 02:03:18.160 Now also hovering around the mid lane, 02:03:18.160 --> 02:03:20.280 quick in a step in, trying to get a bit of healing back, 02:03:20.280 --> 02:03:21.760 but owner is already here, 02:03:21.760 --> 02:03:23.160 Quinn wants to get the kill in return, 02:03:23.160 --> 02:03:25.080 but he just doesn't have the damage. 02:03:25.080 --> 02:03:26.120 Very close there. 02:03:26.120 --> 02:03:28.600 You can see the frustration on TLCoach's faces. 02:03:28.600 --> 02:03:31.240 This one's pretty much over a four minutes. 02:03:31.240 --> 02:03:32.600 It's gonna be really tough. 02:03:32.600 --> 02:03:33.440 Yeah, cause I mean, 02:03:33.440 --> 02:03:36.280 Moussandra getting leads like this. 02:03:36.280 --> 02:03:38.080 Yes, she has the ignite is not something 02:03:38.080 --> 02:03:39.040 that you often see. 02:03:39.040 --> 02:03:42.120 This is usually just you push and you ignore that lane. 02:03:42.120 --> 02:03:44.000 It's not about killing in the 1v1. 02:03:44.000 --> 02:03:44.840 I kind of want to see it again 02:03:44.840 --> 02:03:46.160 cause I think Quinn actually missed his Q, 02:03:46.160 --> 02:03:47.880 otherwise he could have maybe made it one for one. 02:03:47.880 --> 02:03:48.720 It was hard to tell. 02:03:48.720 --> 02:03:50.720 Maybe the edge of it did actually hit 02:03:50.720 --> 02:03:56.200 But faker was baiting there. They knew that was the window. Quid knew that was the window before faker gets six 02:03:56.480 --> 02:04:00.560 He had been playing the lane pretty darn well after the solo kill comes back 02:04:00.840 --> 02:04:03.960 I was able to put him in position where he can actually look what I won't be one 02:04:06.280 --> 02:04:08.640 The damage just not really there either 02:04:09.160 --> 02:04:14.120 For TL's bottom lane as Paze already has the sheen and the double buff so the other wandering down 02:04:14.120 --> 02:04:18.160 But it'd be spotted by the control ward still a bit of a ways from level six 02:04:18.720 --> 02:04:22.160 Unfortunately, the map is just falling apart. 02:04:22.160 --> 02:04:24.160 Yeah, it already has, pretty much. 02:04:24.160 --> 02:04:25.360 I mean, this is tough, right? 02:04:25.360 --> 02:04:26.960 You know, for Jose, you're playing Nocturne. 02:04:26.960 --> 02:04:28.960 You can't really be that active from there. 02:04:28.960 --> 02:04:30.960 I'm trying to threaten here, on to Yon, 02:04:30.960 --> 02:04:32.960 but they're mostly just pressuring him 02:04:32.960 --> 02:04:34.160 to make him miss some of the CS. 02:04:34.160 --> 02:04:36.160 I don't think they're looking for any sort of a dive 02:04:36.160 --> 02:04:39.920 with Jose there, but he's definitely being super annoying. 02:04:39.920 --> 02:04:41.920 With these double buffs, makes it even worse. 02:04:41.920 --> 02:04:44.560 You know, Kor did get a kill back, which was great. 02:04:44.560 --> 02:04:46.720 You know, got owner's flash, which was great, 02:04:46.720 --> 02:04:50.040 but then gave the double buffs and the kill straight to Paze, 02:04:50.040 --> 02:04:54.720 which makes the lane pretty much impossible to play when you're already miles behind. 02:04:54.720 --> 02:04:59.320 You look at the buy, Paze got Sheen Longsword, and Yan just got a Longsword. 02:04:59.320 --> 02:05:02.080 Very true. Faker waiting off to the side of the Giova. 02:05:02.080 --> 02:05:05.360 Snow has access to the Spell Shield. Altea's stolen by Quid, but... 02:05:05.360 --> 02:05:09.480 So it'd be a tough fight for TL. Paze still hasn't recalled, 02:05:09.480 --> 02:05:12.960 but again, his previous recall was so good, it just doesn't really matter. 02:05:12.960 --> 02:05:16.440 Jose has ulti. Maybe TL decide to fight it here. 02:05:16.440 --> 02:05:18.920 Quick over and over the wall. 02:05:18.920 --> 02:05:21.560 Ulti out from Jose, maybe hoping he just gets a steal. 02:05:21.560 --> 02:05:22.860 No vision means they can't quite respond. 02:05:22.860 --> 02:05:24.600 Instantaneous combo across the teamfaker, 02:05:24.600 --> 02:05:26.160 alting, but it's a little bit too late. 02:05:26.160 --> 02:05:29.160 An explosion of aggression coming out from the side of TL. 02:05:29.160 --> 02:05:30.760 Now it's owner running for the hills as Quick 02:05:30.760 --> 02:05:31.600 looks for the cleanup kill. 02:05:31.600 --> 02:05:32.360 Two going over the line. 02:05:32.360 --> 02:05:34.360 The footwork just a little bit too fancy. 02:05:34.360 --> 02:05:37.200 Quick on the chase, but a nice turn from the side of TL. 02:05:37.200 --> 02:05:39.200 Yeah, they might be able to eventually chase down 02:05:39.200 --> 02:05:40.560 on her, but it's hard to even say. 02:05:40.560 --> 02:05:42.480 And Quinn knows he's going to start losing minions, 02:05:42.480 --> 02:05:45.920 So it is just going to be an execute here from owner. 02:05:45.920 --> 02:05:46.420 Nicely. 02:05:46.420 --> 02:05:48.320 Oh, it's not yet the timing wrong. 02:05:48.320 --> 02:05:49.960 I just gave him the benefit of the doubt 02:05:49.960 --> 02:05:51.640 that he would have had his time down right. 02:05:51.640 --> 02:05:53.480 That's actually really big for Quinn 02:05:53.480 --> 02:05:56.120 to be able to get that gold after the last execute 02:05:56.120 --> 02:05:57.920 from Faker and the solo kill. 02:05:57.920 --> 02:06:00.480 It would have been so frustrating to have two executes 02:06:00.480 --> 02:06:01.920 against you in that way. 02:06:01.920 --> 02:06:04.080 But great job by TL fighting back. 02:06:04.080 --> 02:06:07.160 They take the dragon and gives them a new lease on life. 02:06:07.160 --> 02:06:08.800 You know that mid lane 1v1 was looking 02:06:08.800 --> 02:06:11.120 like it was completely cooked at 4 minutes like I called out. 02:06:11.120 --> 02:06:13.360 but they're able to still find a good fight here. 02:06:13.360 --> 02:06:15.840 4 is threatening, Qwid comes over the wall, 02:06:15.840 --> 02:06:17.720 they turn off the light, they push them back, 02:06:17.720 --> 02:06:19.200 and now T1 can see nothing. 02:06:19.200 --> 02:06:20.160 So they just turn on the dragon, 02:06:20.160 --> 02:06:21.400 they finish the dragon, but then, 02:06:21.400 --> 02:06:22.420 where does the dragon dies? 02:06:22.420 --> 02:06:24.200 Look at this, in they go. 02:06:24.200 --> 02:06:26.480 Massive AOE combo across multiple members, 02:06:26.480 --> 02:06:28.240 but the Saundra all came out. 02:06:28.240 --> 02:06:30.280 The Nocturne Q hit a bunch of people, 02:06:30.280 --> 02:06:31.560 Yon is free firing. 02:06:31.560 --> 02:06:34.680 Yeah, Alistar dies, but that is a beautiful play 02:06:34.680 --> 02:06:36.360 from a really tough position 02:06:36.360 --> 02:06:38.200 early on here in game number two. 02:06:38.200 --> 02:06:39.040 Yeah, and I will say, 02:06:39.040 --> 02:06:40.480 while T1 still hold onto this gold lead, 02:06:40.480 --> 02:06:46.320 You got to respect TL for always finding these fights even at a disadvantageous position seeing the moments where they can't capitalize 02:06:46.320 --> 02:06:49.340 Pays taking over to level six looking for you on the other calling 02:06:49.840 --> 02:06:51.840 Was it was not was not great 02:06:52.600 --> 02:06:55.440 The faker on the way down. Oh, oh, indeed 02:06:56.040 --> 02:07:01.840 John only level five no cleanse available punch back coming in from core flash forward with the Q locking him up 02:07:01.840 --> 02:07:04.120 Pays caught up under tower and taken down 02:07:04.720 --> 02:07:10.200 Excellent turn coming in from core to ship that in their favor. Is that world champion cordier J 02:07:10.480 --> 02:07:14.160 Are we in 2017? Who is this man? 02:07:14.160 --> 02:07:17.120 This is World Champion Faker just barely able to make it out. 02:07:17.120 --> 02:07:22.440 And I gotta say, that's two plays back to back where it feels like T1 should have a pretty 02:07:22.440 --> 02:07:26.280 good edge, a pretty massive edge that just had not worked out in their favor. 02:07:26.280 --> 02:07:29.800 Or again on this, on this Alistar we saw the laning phase miserable, but in these plays 02:07:29.800 --> 02:07:31.480 he's been pretty big and quid. 02:07:31.480 --> 02:07:34.880 Well he might have been losing this, but again got bundled a couple of kills and now 02:07:34.880 --> 02:07:35.880 he's sitting pretty. 02:07:35.880 --> 02:07:37.680 Yeah, he's definitely doing a lot better. 02:07:37.680 --> 02:07:40.620 I mean just beautiful stuff from core. He's making so many plays 02:07:41.040 --> 02:07:45.840 That is pretty incredible to be able to outplay in that situation when yon doesn't even have flash 02:07:45.840 --> 02:07:51.860 You don't even have to use this barrier core just played that brilliantly yon had a great change of corruption and TL 02:07:52.240 --> 02:07:55.080 Kind of pulling a rabbit out of the hat still in a tough spot 02:07:55.080 --> 02:07:59.160 But I mean they were down 2k at four minutes where at nine they're only down 1.2 02:07:59.160 --> 02:08:04.480 It's still not great, but I mean this is actually a playable position now from what looked like it was 02:08:05.280 --> 02:08:07.120 completely over 02:08:07.120 --> 02:08:10.960 Definitely very true. I think the big thing we have to look at in terms of gold overall is the item 02:08:10.960 --> 02:08:12.720 It has turned into four pays essence 02:08:12.720 --> 02:08:16.880 We were already completed the only person on the map with that big power spike. You're being a downer, man 02:08:18.000 --> 02:08:21.040 He's just got to give some credit back to T1 of this one Baker goes over the wall 02:08:21.040 --> 02:08:26.200 And it looks like he's gonna die he's gonna ult himself to get a bit more space frozen ice force of negation coming in to get a bit 02:08:26.200 --> 02:08:28.640 More team fight damage beyond is still standing for an extra moment 02:08:28.640 --> 02:08:32.840 Oh, they're here to the midst of carry an owner wants to get the kill finished pays trying to save his jungle 02:08:32.840 --> 02:08:37.780 Oh look at that! Snipes him with the Q! Yacht vs. Pays in the pit! Yacht got the damage! 02:08:37.780 --> 02:08:39.780 No! It's a get it done! 02:08:39.780 --> 02:08:46.440 They completely ignore Yacht in the fight. He stands, he fires, he stacks the lethal tempo. 02:08:46.440 --> 02:08:50.780 And a completed item or not, he makes some pay for that one. 02:08:50.780 --> 02:08:52.780 Cormac down early in this fight. 02:08:52.780 --> 02:08:57.580 Owner, T1, they go in. They try to engage here onto CORE. 02:08:57.580 --> 02:09:01.180 CORE does get the combo down. He knocks out Keria there. 02:09:01.180 --> 02:09:06.020 And they're stolen mainly while buying a lot of time as you can see Jose goes in, he's focusing down carrier. 02:09:06.020 --> 02:09:08.820 But look at T1, just completely ignoring Yon the whole time. 02:09:08.820 --> 02:09:10.320 He has the little tempo fully stacked. 02:09:10.320 --> 02:09:18.080 You're standing mainly range of him as the Lucian and you are still hitting Jose Dioto who gets the Triumph proc multiple times there. 02:09:18.080 --> 02:09:19.740 The barrier comes through Yon. 02:09:20.240 --> 02:09:25.440 Look at the cooldown there. The split second the LTP Muffy popped it, didn't end up beating him at the end of the day. 02:09:25.440 --> 02:09:29.700 But that is huge. They thought they could just kill the Nocturne really fast, but he got the passive heal. 02:09:29.700 --> 02:09:35.480 He got multiple triumph procs and he lived so much longer than they were expecting that ignoring this Ferris 02:09:35.480 --> 02:09:40.160 Who's supposed to be so weak so useless really came back to bite him and my you know 02:09:40.560 --> 02:09:43.840 Raining on your parade a moment ago was was the gold deficit 02:09:43.840 --> 02:09:51.180 But the gold basically dead even now Isaac a very very playable game T1 similar to last game all the paltry some a paltry 02:09:55.860 --> 02:09:58.500 Like I we have the Lord the Lord Morgan on the top side 02:09:58.500 --> 02:10:02.260 He needs to get more of a time from going here if he wants to be a lord. 02:10:02.260 --> 02:10:05.700 He's a little bit of a broke boy at the moment. 02:10:05.700 --> 02:10:08.980 A little bit behind, but the rest of the map looking comfortable. 02:10:08.980 --> 02:10:14.100 Jose Dioto 2-1 in 3, 5 seconds till that ulti's up. 02:10:14.100 --> 02:10:15.100 Winnable. 02:10:15.100 --> 02:10:17.220 Get one ready to make another play in the bottom lane. 02:10:17.220 --> 02:10:18.220 Yeah. 02:10:18.220 --> 02:10:21.620 I mean, the scary thing is, you know, obviously if you're in NA fan, you are excited that 02:10:21.620 --> 02:10:24.860 we pulled back to parody, but we've lost so many games against T1. 02:10:24.860 --> 02:10:27.340 You lost with a 6k goal, but yeah, it's exactly. 02:10:27.340 --> 02:10:29.100 And it's happened multiple times for TL. 02:10:29.100 --> 02:10:33.220 So including the series that Spawn was referencing, 02:10:33.220 --> 02:10:36.620 where they were at UWC playing game three of 6K final game, 02:10:36.620 --> 02:10:38.100 ended up losing that one, too. 02:10:38.100 --> 02:10:41.740 So T1 always cannot be counted out. 02:10:41.740 --> 02:10:44.420 This team makes magic happen time and time again, 02:10:44.420 --> 02:10:46.300 as Morgan was expecting a contest. 02:10:46.300 --> 02:10:48.060 So he just walks down towards the dragon. 02:10:48.060 --> 02:10:49.420 He's going to be there if they need him. 02:10:49.420 --> 02:10:51.260 And TP's back towards top when they see it. 02:10:51.260 --> 02:10:52.340 T1 is not contested. 02:10:52.340 --> 02:10:53.900 And our production team keeping us humble 02:10:53.900 --> 02:10:55.220 as they flashed the gold crafts there. 02:10:55.220 --> 02:10:57.220 You can see 6K gold, the 1.2K gold. 02:10:57.220 --> 02:10:59.920 Those are the games we talked about where it did feel like there might be an angle to win. 02:10:59.920 --> 02:11:02.420 But again, it was so much about the mid to late game. 02:11:02.420 --> 02:11:06.620 So as good as it is, as comfortable as it might feel for a lot of people who aren't NA fans, 02:11:06.620 --> 02:11:09.320 probably shaking right now, not certain if they could be excited yet. 02:11:10.020 --> 02:11:12.520 Still have to close it out for it to count for it to mean anything. 02:11:12.520 --> 02:11:16.820 And T1, a team that adapts so quickly, even in disadvantageous situations. 02:11:16.820 --> 02:11:19.220 You just got to remember, if you're winning, it's because they're really good. 02:11:19.220 --> 02:11:20.620 If they're winning, it's because they're triart. 02:11:21.120 --> 02:11:22.620 They're just sweaty, you know? 02:11:22.620 --> 02:11:33.220 Alright, Faker walking away, Altey still there for Quinn, very tryhard to Faker to walk away. 02:11:33.220 --> 02:11:35.820 They didn't want to just die to Quinn. 02:11:35.820 --> 02:11:36.820 You're not going to stand and fight there. 02:11:36.820 --> 02:11:38.820 You don't want to just spawn or have a lumpy fight. 02:11:38.820 --> 02:11:39.820 That's fine. 02:11:39.820 --> 02:11:40.820 Alright. 02:11:40.820 --> 02:11:41.820 Cool man. 02:11:41.820 --> 02:11:42.820 T1, do you have that slight lead? 02:11:42.820 --> 02:11:46.780 But it is a couple of dragons now for TL, able to win both of those fights over by the 02:11:46.780 --> 02:11:47.780 dragons. 02:11:47.780 --> 02:11:48.780 That is massive for them. 02:11:48.780 --> 02:11:53.040 And they would be moving in towards Nounsoul, which is actually quite nice for their comp 02:11:53.040 --> 02:11:57.100 when you're thinking about Lissandra, Jace, Lee Sin, all of this upfront damage. 02:11:57.100 --> 02:12:00.840 So much burst that's going to be coming out from T1, which would be terrifying. 02:12:01.260 --> 02:12:06.520 You know, giving champions like this Verus in particular, that additional survivability 02:12:06.520 --> 02:12:08.480 to maybe be able to live through that initial burst. 02:12:09.180 --> 02:12:12.280 And I'm going to be interested to see, you know, where Yon goes with his build from here. 02:12:12.640 --> 02:12:15.880 He had gone Rageblade last time, you know, he did go Shiv first. 02:12:15.880 --> 02:12:21.900 Yep, but I did you know I was talking to spawn and talking about the potential of going more like HP centric build against some of the 02:12:21.900 --> 02:12:27.740 Teams where you don't need to necessarily non-stop auto and I'll be interested to see if if he is gonna consider some of those 02:12:27.740 --> 02:12:30.300 You're going a little bit more defensive because there's so much first 02:12:30.300 --> 02:12:32.660 Oh, I'll be coming in for quick dash forward as well 02:12:32.860 --> 02:12:36.660 Thanks Slayer to get more damage now, but owner is down here in the meantime quick of me trouble owner arriving 02:12:36.660 --> 02:12:43.660 Just time to us a to on the approach quickly for extra second the difference the lock it of the iron salari keeps him alive 02:12:43.660 --> 02:12:47.800 5 core, absolutely clutching this game thus far, but it's going to be tough to lock down 02:12:47.800 --> 02:12:52.120 an owner trying to use Yon to escape, W over the wall, flash out to safety, the man's got 02:12:52.120 --> 02:12:54.640 too much style, too much class. 02:12:54.640 --> 02:12:58.760 Yeah, he's got swag, well played there by owner to get out, but still it's a big win. 02:12:58.760 --> 02:13:02.600 Morgan looking for potential solo kill, the last minion died otherwise he would have gone. 02:13:02.600 --> 02:13:05.840 Colleen coming in, Minocore is in trouble, has already popped the unbreakable will. 02:13:05.840 --> 02:13:06.840 Quit seeping deep. 02:13:06.840 --> 02:13:12.600 Yon rafting around, ultramega fire kick to push Yon back, with debating if he can go 02:13:12.600 --> 02:13:13.600 forward. 02:13:13.600 --> 02:13:17.040 carry ready to body box though has his ulti to cleanse out if he needs it 02:13:17.040 --> 02:13:20.960 it just a glimpse of T1 to retreat as a unit not give that flank angle at the 02:13:20.960 --> 02:13:24.920 side of TL. Yeah we'll play there by T1, very cognizant of the fact that Whitt 02:13:24.920 --> 02:13:28.000 could be coming in and if they overcommit there on the core they 02:13:28.000 --> 02:13:31.320 would get collapsed on they could be down a man and and maybe taken out but 02:13:31.320 --> 02:13:34.080 it's another brilliant play from the core gets there just in time keeps quit 02:13:34.080 --> 02:13:37.760 alive with the locket you know yes owner does escape and that was really nice 02:13:37.760 --> 02:13:41.720 for T1 but at the end of the day it's still the one for zero on the kill on a 02:13:41.720 --> 02:13:44.980 to play that T1 were kind of going for initially the other ones kind of setting 02:13:44.980 --> 02:13:47.720 it up. Faker again was trying to go for that same play he did earlier on quid 02:13:47.720 --> 02:13:50.860 trying to bait quid to go an aggressive knowing the South has to do that to 02:13:50.860 --> 02:13:54.020 trade and just playing behind him approach the bottom lane glacial path 02:13:54.020 --> 02:13:56.660 coming out from Faker trying to stay flat from hosier to he knows that Faker 02:13:56.660 --> 02:13:59.120 does not have alti for at least a couple seconds I don't think the 02:13:59.120 --> 02:14:01.860 calculation is always going to be perfect though so hosier to backs away 02:14:01.860 --> 02:14:05.740 doesn't want to over force on the dive and said happy to grab the plates they're 02:14:05.740 --> 02:14:08.500 happy to grab the plates not so happy to lose your flash for that though he 02:14:08.500 --> 02:14:12.200 He really thought he would be in range to get the tether, and I think he was expecting 02:14:12.200 --> 02:14:16.700 an insta w from faker, so he flashed in his fell shielded immediately, you know, because 02:14:16.700 --> 02:14:20.300 you're not going to be able to react to the w, it's just too fast if you're point blank. 02:14:20.300 --> 02:14:22.780 So he did try to kind of guess on it. 02:14:22.780 --> 02:14:25.980 The end of the day though, they do get first power off the back of that, so TL going to 02:14:25.980 --> 02:14:27.380 be still really happy about this. 02:14:27.380 --> 02:14:30.660 You were down 2k at 4 minutes, you're now up a thousand gold here at 15. 02:14:30.660 --> 02:14:31.660 Definitely a good look. 02:14:31.660 --> 02:14:34.660 T1's response to the top side, dozens on the tower their own. 02:14:34.660 --> 02:14:36.660 the Herald. 02:14:36.660 --> 02:14:37.660 Excuse me for rubbing. 02:14:37.660 --> 02:14:38.660 No, Herald. 02:14:38.660 --> 02:14:39.660 I got both. 02:14:39.660 --> 02:14:40.660 I got both. 02:14:40.660 --> 02:14:42.660 Feeling comfy as owner now. 02:14:42.660 --> 02:14:44.660 Another retreat necessary. 02:14:44.660 --> 02:14:45.660 Altie coming in. 02:14:45.660 --> 02:14:48.660 That's going to be no way out for Dorenjo's Idioto. 02:14:48.660 --> 02:14:49.660 This time, nails the special. 02:14:49.660 --> 02:14:50.660 It was he a 1v1 in the mid lane. 02:14:50.660 --> 02:14:54.660 Yacht trying to battle with Paze, but Paze too damn strong. 02:14:54.660 --> 02:14:55.660 Well played there by Paze. 02:14:55.660 --> 02:14:57.660 Paze flashes over the ultimate. 02:14:57.660 --> 02:14:59.660 Something that's very difficult to do timing-wise. 02:14:59.660 --> 02:15:01.660 It's easy to flash to the side. 02:15:01.660 --> 02:15:03.660 That's not hard, but he wanted to stay in range. 02:15:03.660 --> 02:15:07.340 in range knew he had the damage for the solo kill if he could actually outplay him in that 02:15:07.340 --> 02:15:12.100 way and he's able to pull it off and now quit his oom and the owner's coming behind him. 02:15:12.100 --> 02:15:13.700 Faker not here to do damage just to stall. 02:15:13.700 --> 02:15:15.300 Quit getting to melee range is big though. 02:15:15.300 --> 02:15:18.220 Faker gets himself an extra 2.5 seconds extra healing coming in from the frozen tomb. 02:15:18.220 --> 02:15:19.220 One more rotation is quit. 02:15:19.220 --> 02:15:22.020 Deathpiltie tries to finish it but the damage is not there. 02:15:22.020 --> 02:15:24.940 Owner however is grabs the kill. 02:15:24.940 --> 02:15:25.940 Nicely done there. 02:15:25.940 --> 02:15:27.460 Quit just way over staying is welcome. 02:15:27.460 --> 02:15:31.260 I mean if he saw as mana Faker can't delay like that because quit to kill him but because 02:15:31.260 --> 02:15:36.280 he's out of mana, it was tough 4 quid in that position and you just got to kind of chase 02:15:36.280 --> 02:15:40.100 down. So we can see this one more time. Yon already a little bit low and the pink ward 02:15:40.100 --> 02:15:46.620 there was a lot of safety for Pace. That ward that you can see right here, this actually 02:15:46.620 --> 02:15:50.700 gave him a false sense of security because this ward does not actually see that ward, 02:15:50.700 --> 02:15:54.780 I don't believe. So it doesn't actually see the far other side. So Pace had his ward over, 02:15:54.780 --> 02:15:59.060 hugged that wall and that made Yon face check and which set up for that brilliant play from 02:15:59.060 --> 02:16:02.780 pays where he's able to flash over the alt, but required a lot of things to happen there 02:16:02.780 --> 02:16:07.420 and you can understand why Yon walked into that brush thinking, hey, it's warded, unsafe. 02:16:07.420 --> 02:16:10.900 Yeah, let me take a look at the Coinbase gold where I need to see pays. Pretty comfortably 02:16:10.900 --> 02:16:14.900 ahead. And the overall tower plate's given enough of an edge as well as a bit more in 02:16:14.900 --> 02:16:21.420 the kill department, especially after that solo 1v1. T1 gonna slow down the Drake stacking. 02:16:21.420 --> 02:16:23.580 9TL the sole point. 02:16:26.020 --> 02:16:29.420 Now, TL looking maybe to respond here with the play of their owner. 02:16:29.420 --> 02:16:31.420 At least clear out some of the vision. 02:16:31.420 --> 02:16:34.420 Topside, Morgan uncontested on this push for now. 02:16:36.020 --> 02:16:39.420 And Yon, you know, this is Yon vs. Paze, Yon vs. everyone else. 02:16:39.420 --> 02:16:42.020 Obviously had a pretty rough outing, you know, versus Paze. 02:16:42.020 --> 02:16:45.420 I don't think he's still back to his peak form, you know, in those other series, 02:16:45.420 --> 02:16:46.620 but he has definitely been improving. 02:16:46.620 --> 02:16:50.220 I think he's rebuilding that confidence and it's nice to see him, you know, 02:16:50.220 --> 02:16:52.220 having a pretty solid game here, had a really tough start, 02:16:52.220 --> 02:16:54.220 was able to have that big fight, get back in it. 02:16:54.220 --> 02:16:56.500 Yes, he's still behind, pays, 02:16:56.500 --> 02:16:59.100 but it is a manageable disadvantage. 02:16:59.100 --> 02:17:00.740 The rest of the team is all ahead. 02:17:00.740 --> 02:17:02.700 You know, they have a real shot in this game, 02:17:02.700 --> 02:17:04.380 and this is all TL really can ask. 02:17:04.380 --> 02:17:06.060 You just can ask for me early game, 02:17:06.060 --> 02:17:07.820 put us in a spot where we have a chance to win, 02:17:07.820 --> 02:17:08.900 because at the end of the day, 02:17:08.900 --> 02:17:11.900 you've got to win the team fight if you want to beat T1. 02:17:11.900 --> 02:17:14.820 And they are in a spot where they have a legitimate shot 02:17:14.820 --> 02:17:17.620 to win, but you've got to get it across the finish line. 02:17:17.620 --> 02:17:20.700 It is so damn hard to do against T1. 02:17:20.700 --> 02:17:23.940 So many brilliant team fighters across the board. 02:17:23.940 --> 02:17:26.740 Any one of the five from T1 can step up at any moment 02:17:26.740 --> 02:17:28.340 and solo win a team fight. 02:17:28.340 --> 02:17:31.060 And that is really hard to deal with. 02:17:31.060 --> 02:17:31.900 It certainly is. 02:17:31.900 --> 02:17:34.500 And I think Tio in this game and certainly in my last game, 02:17:34.500 --> 02:17:36.180 finding a lot of good opportunities to fight back, 02:17:36.180 --> 02:17:38.060 match that kind of breakneck pace. 02:17:38.060 --> 02:17:40.060 But it was often in the previous series, 02:17:40.060 --> 02:17:42.700 when the game slowed down, that there were little hiccups, 02:17:42.700 --> 02:17:45.380 little mistakes that T1 immediately capitalized on. 02:17:45.380 --> 02:17:46.100 So you're right. 02:17:46.100 --> 02:17:47.420 There's so much pressure. 02:17:47.420 --> 02:17:50.420 And you might not think it because they're just walking up, farming, hitting a wave, 02:17:50.420 --> 02:17:53.620 but that one wave extra, that one missed up on a side lane, 02:17:53.620 --> 02:17:58.320 can be devastating if it costs you summoners or denies you good setup on the next objective. 02:17:58.320 --> 02:18:02.120 It really does. I think that Quinn and Jose need to get more on the same page in this game. 02:18:02.120 --> 02:18:04.620 I feel like throughout the tournament, they've been really good about that. 02:18:04.620 --> 02:18:10.020 But we've seen Quinn a number of times pushing very deep into side lane without Jose there to protect him. 02:18:10.020 --> 02:18:12.920 Harold looking for a charge here, and we'll get a tower very low, 02:18:12.920 --> 02:18:17.460 but T1 really don't want the actual fight as Morgan TP's in, so they just back off. 02:18:18.220 --> 02:18:20.720 They hit the TP out of it as well as a couple of plates. 02:18:21.820 --> 02:18:24.820 You know, fully set up here in the mid lane, but not with a lot to play for, 02:18:24.820 --> 02:18:28.720 is now another TP moving into the bottom lane, hoping to catch up Doran. 02:18:29.020 --> 02:18:32.120 Doran might just go for a TP of his own. Nope. Yep. There it is. 02:18:32.320 --> 02:18:35.620 We're trading TP's. Flash forward, Scott, if that's Doran, you are not escaping this one! 02:18:35.620 --> 02:18:38.520 Quick frozen to him comes in from Quinn. Happy to see that one away from Faker. 02:18:38.520 --> 02:18:42.120 His fire rains from the sky and down goes Doran. 02:18:42.120 --> 02:18:47.120 But look at mid lane. T1 immediately rush back to mid lane when they had that Herald crash to try to finish off that tower. 02:18:47.120 --> 02:18:53.120 So T1 realized, alright, we can't get anything there. But that was the flash from Quid. That was the TP from Quid. 02:18:53.120 --> 02:18:56.120 That was the ultimate from Quid. So that's not a free kill by any means. 02:18:56.120 --> 02:19:00.120 Yes, they got the TP off of Doran. They get the gold on a Quid, which is nice. 02:19:00.120 --> 02:19:03.120 But T1, as they always do, will make you pay on the map. 02:19:03.120 --> 02:19:07.120 If you overcommit to one side, they are so good at punishing you elsewhere. 02:19:07.120 --> 02:19:15.120 They're not going to just try to run down there when they know it's a lost cause for Doran immediately go mid, take a tower, continue getting that goal into Pay's pockets. 02:19:15.120 --> 02:19:23.120 Definitely a terrifying team to play against. So often we play teams when they play together as five members as a core with one plan. I think it makes T1 terrifying. They can do that and they can also split up. 02:19:23.120 --> 02:19:33.120 They can play three on one side. Everyone feels like they can make perfect decisions on their own and also together. And it's not without faults either or there, but for the most part they're always responding to whatever you're trying to do. 02:19:33.120 --> 02:19:37.000 first area as well. Paze now has completed his third item. Obviously he's not, you know, 02:19:37.000 --> 02:19:41.040 full item in gold ahead of Yon, but Yon did go for those upgraded boots. You know, he 02:19:41.040 --> 02:19:44.680 does have the Steel Caps, which are going to be pretty effective this game, but Paze 02:19:44.680 --> 02:19:48.680 is a beast right now. First one to three items, and there's a number of players on the map 02:19:48.680 --> 02:19:53.600 who don't even have their second. Quid finally just got his, and I do like the buy when you 02:19:53.600 --> 02:19:56.880 are playing double AP solo lanes. It makes a lot of sense. You have Bloodletters curse 02:19:56.880 --> 02:20:00.480 here. You're shredding for just the rumble. I'm not a fan of this item when people go 02:20:00.480 --> 02:20:04.040 go out and they're solo AP, I just don't really think it makes sense, but I think in this 02:20:04.040 --> 02:20:07.680 case it does make a lot of sense and Morgan is not going to have to go for it now. 02:20:07.680 --> 02:20:10.440 Morgan is actually going Lee Andries into, it looks like probably like Shadowflame, he's 02:20:10.440 --> 02:20:14.800 just going for a really high damage build and this is somewhat enabled by Quid who's 02:20:14.800 --> 02:20:17.120 going to be there shredding for him. 02:20:17.120 --> 02:20:21.960 Yon also has a decent amount of magic damage on the Varus, so it's actually a pretty smart 02:20:21.960 --> 02:20:25.920 buy I think in this case and I like that from Quid. 02:20:25.920 --> 02:20:29.720 Yeah, high value itemization choice there. 02:20:29.720 --> 02:20:31.720 Small things off to make the big difference in these fights, 02:20:31.720 --> 02:20:33.440 his owner. 02:20:33.440 --> 02:20:34.880 Walking into the TL bot side jungle, 02:20:34.880 --> 02:20:37.080 looking to clear out some vision with the support of Paze. 02:20:37.080 --> 02:20:39.400 Paze, careful not to step too far up here. 02:20:39.400 --> 02:20:42.680 Of course, four members of team one in the area. 02:20:42.680 --> 02:20:44.240 And the bot lane, we're having the 1v1. 02:20:44.240 --> 02:20:46.560 Quick, comfortable in the side lane against Faker. 02:20:46.560 --> 02:20:48.720 That's all cleaned down, but Quick has the overstay. 02:20:48.720 --> 02:20:51.040 Glacial path forward, a little bit more of a slow down coming in. 02:20:51.040 --> 02:20:52.240 Poser, two new-done owner. 02:20:52.240 --> 02:20:54.560 Now, it looks like Hozidio to fly in with top try and finish off Faker, 02:20:54.560 --> 02:20:55.760 but he drops out of vision. 02:20:55.760 --> 02:20:59.200 Opposite of you, can't get the kill, lock the game a little bit more HP, ulti coming up in the milio, 02:20:59.200 --> 02:21:04.140 going off to the side, doing what he can, Doran flashing in, Morgan with the equalizer doing a ton of work, 02:21:04.140 --> 02:21:10.340 Quint's still living, the absconded duck connects, Pays running for his life, a flamethrower behind him, 02:21:10.340 --> 02:21:16.720 Lord Morgan making it work, but Doran is still up, Doran is trying to make the difference. 02:21:16.720 --> 02:21:24.880 Trying to make the difference, but he can't do it, he can't actually make it in this fight here as TL again coming out on top here. 02:21:24.880 --> 02:21:27.120 The question is, can they go to the dragon? 02:21:27.120 --> 02:21:29.680 And that shock blast onto Yon means a lot. 02:21:29.680 --> 02:21:32.600 Low health bars now for both Yon and Core. 02:21:32.600 --> 02:21:34.400 They're going to have to base. 02:21:34.400 --> 02:21:35.320 Good fight. 02:21:35.320 --> 02:21:36.320 Good look. 02:21:36.320 --> 02:21:37.160 Take a look back. 02:21:37.160 --> 02:21:38.600 Quick confidence in the 1v1. 02:21:38.600 --> 02:21:41.680 Absolutely is very confident in the 1v1 going in here. 02:21:41.680 --> 02:21:44.240 And it's not much of a 1v1 that they can even test at this point. 02:21:44.240 --> 02:21:45.720 He just is destroying him. 02:21:45.720 --> 02:21:47.120 He used that ult early. 02:21:47.120 --> 02:21:48.240 And Jose decides, you know what? 02:21:48.240 --> 02:21:49.600 I can go and finish him off because he 02:21:49.600 --> 02:21:50.360 doesn't have that ult. 02:21:50.360 --> 02:21:53.240 But Kariah is there, double shield. 02:21:53.240 --> 02:21:54.440 He has the heal. 02:21:54.440 --> 02:22:00.800 He buys a lot of time, but then the lock-in from Core kind of baits in Paze as Paze goes in at the flashback out. 02:22:00.800 --> 02:22:02.800 Look how long Quid lasts though. 02:22:03.000 --> 02:22:07.320 Spell rotation after spell rotation after spell rotation comes up and buys so much time. 02:22:07.320 --> 02:22:11.200 Morgan arrives, is able to finish him off another double, therefore yawned. 02:22:11.840 --> 02:22:13.840 As you can see, 02:22:13.920 --> 02:22:16.640 Quid thought he had an angle to live. Yeah. 02:22:17.360 --> 02:22:22.040 I have to ask you, are you familiar with the Quiggle? No, I'm not. I'm not familiar with the Quiggle. 02:22:22.040 --> 02:22:24.040 Is that the Quiggle? 02:22:24.040 --> 02:22:25.040 It is close to a Quiggle. 02:22:25.040 --> 02:22:26.040 Close to a Quiggle. 02:22:26.040 --> 02:22:27.040 Alright, well you keep me posted. 02:22:27.040 --> 02:22:28.040 Yeah. 02:22:28.040 --> 02:22:29.040 What was that called? 02:22:29.040 --> 02:22:31.040 It's got to be something with Silas. 02:22:31.040 --> 02:22:32.040 The Quilas? 02:22:32.040 --> 02:22:33.040 I don't know. 02:22:33.040 --> 02:22:34.040 The Quilas. 02:22:34.040 --> 02:22:35.040 We'll work on it. 02:22:35.040 --> 02:22:36.040 Okay, okay. 02:22:36.040 --> 02:22:37.040 The Quilas. 02:22:37.040 --> 02:22:38.040 Some tools that have been received. 02:22:38.040 --> 02:22:39.040 But it's Core! 02:22:39.040 --> 02:22:40.040 Core! 02:22:40.040 --> 02:22:41.040 Kicking everything off! 02:22:41.040 --> 02:22:42.040 Millions across the entire team! 02:22:42.040 --> 02:22:43.040 Equalizer doing damage to Vaker in the midst! 02:22:43.040 --> 02:22:45.040 Slowing down the advance of TL! 02:22:45.040 --> 02:22:48.040 But it's looking good for the boys in blue! 02:22:48.040 --> 02:22:49.040 TL! 02:22:49.040 --> 02:22:50.040 On the way to the pit! 02:22:50.040 --> 02:22:51.040 A double for Yon! 02:22:51.040 --> 02:22:54.040 CORE! J! J! 02:22:54.040 --> 02:22:59.040 Say the name, oh my gosh, he is on fire in this tournament. 02:22:59.040 --> 02:23:04.040 This one not going to be stolen away. They're going for Baron, they're going to get so much off the back of this. 02:23:04.040 --> 02:23:13.040 That was a four man combo from CORE, who just flips the game on its head, takes out T1, gets them to drag it. 02:23:13.040 --> 02:23:15.040 They're on sole point, they're going for the Baron. 02:23:15.040 --> 02:23:20.080 And you can't count he went out not not gonna lie lots of milio. I'm still a little nervous 02:23:22.720 --> 02:23:24.720 Carrier 02:23:25.440 --> 02:23:27.040 See me so 02:23:27.040 --> 02:23:30.960 Carrier, can you steal it not spotted hovering in the fog? 02:23:31.840 --> 02:23:34.000 3k it should be impossible 02:23:34.640 --> 02:23:42.960 He won't do it. Okay observers playing with us TL this game started with quid solo dying 1v1 to a 02:23:42.960 --> 02:23:49.280 and Lissandra. They are now up. They are on sole point and they are empowered by a Baron. 02:23:49.280 --> 02:23:53.240 I mean this is just crazy again. It's all about core. He has the position in the brush. 02:23:53.240 --> 02:23:56.080 He knows they're going to try to force their way in. Look at this. As soon as they stack 02:23:56.080 --> 02:24:03.000 instant flash, four man combo and no hesitation from all of TL. Jose's in there. Morgan's 02:24:03.000 --> 02:24:08.560 in there. Yon is in there and Yon with the change of corruption through the whole team 02:24:08.560 --> 02:24:14.760 Threads the needle, catches Paze of all people, with the change of corruption, takes him out. 02:24:15.560 --> 02:24:17.560 And are they pumped up or are they pumped up? 02:24:18.160 --> 02:24:19.760 And it's so important to highlight. 02:24:20.360 --> 02:24:22.560 That is a tenth of a second difference. 02:24:22.760 --> 02:24:24.360 Core was charging Hex Flash. 02:24:24.560 --> 02:24:25.960 It wasn't Snap, React. 02:24:26.060 --> 02:24:28.460 He's calling that shot two seconds ahead of time. 02:24:28.560 --> 02:24:30.860 Has to be perfect for him to make that work. 02:24:30.960 --> 02:24:33.060 He hit three people, that play might be entirely different, 02:24:33.160 --> 02:24:36.060 but connects on all four and now G1 for the first time in the series 02:24:36.060 --> 02:24:38.460 really feel like they are on the back foot. 02:24:38.460 --> 02:24:40.340 The gold is still within touching distance, 02:24:40.340 --> 02:24:42.020 but TL for the next two minutes, 02:24:42.020 --> 02:24:44.260 for the duration of this Red Bull Baron power play, 02:24:44.260 --> 02:24:45.660 are in control of the map. 02:24:45.660 --> 02:24:46.980 They are, and the question is, 02:24:46.980 --> 02:24:49.100 can they get it across the finish line? 02:24:49.100 --> 02:24:50.900 This is now the third game this tournament, 02:24:50.900 --> 02:24:53.340 where they've been in a pretty good spot against T1, 02:24:53.340 --> 02:24:54.340 where they've had a chance, 02:24:54.340 --> 02:24:56.700 you know, legitimate chance to actually win, 02:24:56.700 --> 02:24:58.340 and we have to see, can they do it? 02:24:58.340 --> 02:25:01.700 You know, you have to be able to actually finish out the game. 02:25:01.700 --> 02:25:03.820 T1 is not beat until the Nexus explodes. 02:25:03.820 --> 02:25:08.300 This team never says die, always looks for angles, always looks for plays. 02:25:09.300 --> 02:25:15.200 On back, equalizer across the top, forcing Paze away, excellent ulti coming in from Karrie to get the disengage. 02:25:15.200 --> 02:25:17.760 Kale will break open mid at the very least. 02:25:17.760 --> 02:25:21.680 Yeah, it's another great change, corruption from Yon, who is really having a good game at this point. 02:25:21.680 --> 02:25:24.480 And now, I'll draw your eyes to the seekers that he has. 02:25:25.120 --> 02:25:29.440 And a more spawn with a frozen tomb, lock down his air, Paze down, trouble hosed, Yono immediately going in. 02:25:29.440 --> 02:25:33.520 The fear just barely, getting him out of range, able to walk away, Faker looking for the disengage. 02:25:33.520 --> 02:25:35.720 Quick going right back in, Payne's trying to survive, 02:25:35.720 --> 02:25:36.840 and there's Quick! 02:25:36.840 --> 02:25:38.680 In game one, he was clutched. 02:25:38.680 --> 02:25:41.960 In game two, he's unstoppable, the triple. 02:25:41.960 --> 02:25:44.560 TL taking another fight here. 02:25:44.560 --> 02:25:46.360 His owner tried to go aggressive and looked for a second, 02:25:46.360 --> 02:25:47.840 like Faker might have been able to bail him out. 02:25:47.840 --> 02:25:49.280 Korra's trying to keep Doran around. 02:25:49.280 --> 02:25:51.360 As Quick as he peed in, I don't know 02:25:51.360 --> 02:25:52.760 if he's going to be able to chase him down. 02:25:52.760 --> 02:25:54.080 He does have his flash. 02:25:54.080 --> 02:25:55.240 Oh, he's out of vision. 02:25:55.240 --> 02:25:56.840 Smart play. 02:25:56.840 --> 02:25:58.160 Playing on the edge of vision there. 02:25:58.160 --> 02:25:59.120 He's looking for Yon. 02:25:59.120 --> 02:25:59.960 He's looking for Yon. 02:25:59.960 --> 02:26:00.760 I don't know. 02:26:00.760 --> 02:26:02.240 Doran? 02:26:02.240 --> 02:26:07.240 There's no way to stop this. Morgan has to debate. Can he even come into the right flash over the wall from the awp? He gets two! 02:26:09.240 --> 02:26:16.240 2,000 gold. He just got a double shot down there. 2,000 gold. Went to Doren off of that play. 02:26:16.240 --> 02:26:26.240 Yon tried to look for the outplay, but he had no chance of corruption and he flashed over the wall and set up a double to the skies there as Doren just slams his hammer down. 02:26:26.240 --> 02:26:29.900 You can't forget Doran the TP out. It looks like he's just playing to save his own life 02:26:29.900 --> 02:26:34.100 But he's playing for the exit kills on the opposite fight as well and yawn doing his best 02:26:34.100 --> 02:26:38.360 Maybe thinking they can play on that margin, but instead hand delivering that second kill 02:26:38.360 --> 02:26:41.960 It's actually such a big deal not even just because of the gold. I mean the gold is a big deal 02:26:41.960 --> 02:26:44.720 He's just got 2k. It was a 900 gold shut down in the 1k shut down 02:26:44.920 --> 02:26:47.800 Okay, yawn completed his zoning is that fails it out a bit 02:26:47.800 --> 02:26:50.800 But I was gonna say you lost your flash and your seekers is Varus 02:26:50.920 --> 02:26:54.280 That is a really hard fight that you're gonna have now in one minute 02:26:54.280 --> 02:26:58.000 And I'm curious, with TL here, at sole point, will they still look for it? 02:26:58.000 --> 02:27:01.400 Doran, I thought he was just gonna face-check him, but he has the ward there, covers both sides. 02:27:01.400 --> 02:27:03.600 That's Alva right in the midst of another one, Paranoia going down there, 02:27:03.600 --> 02:27:06.180 Gethra to take down Paze, they've got enough damage to get it done! 02:27:06.180 --> 02:27:10.040 Overstep from the bot lane on the side of T1 as TL are quick to punish. 02:27:10.040 --> 02:27:15.880 That's huge! That is Paze dead, and that is the dragon spawning as he will actually come up. 02:27:15.880 --> 02:27:21.280 TL need to try to force this, try to rush it down, and claim Mountain Soul, which would be so big, 02:27:21.280 --> 02:27:23.600 and a rare misstep there pays too far up. 02:27:23.600 --> 02:27:24.360 We didn't see the setup. 02:27:24.360 --> 02:27:27.400 It also looked like the Breath of Life came out too early from Kariah. 02:27:27.640 --> 02:27:29.400 Not sure if he was cleansing something else that didn't catch, 02:27:29.400 --> 02:27:31.840 but the fear landed after the Breath of Life came through. 02:27:32.200 --> 02:27:33.600 So nicely played by TL. 02:27:33.600 --> 02:27:34.240 They pulled the trigger. 02:27:34.240 --> 02:27:36.640 They do kill him off, but it means no alt on Jose. 02:27:36.640 --> 02:27:38.240 No alt on core. 02:27:38.240 --> 02:27:40.520 And so the question is, will they try to rush this down? 02:27:40.520 --> 02:27:42.960 Because Morgan has not yet moved. 02:27:42.960 --> 02:27:44.880 Fighter for mid priority now is Faker. 02:27:44.880 --> 02:27:47.400 It's a glacial path to make his way out pays. 02:27:48.000 --> 02:27:50.320 Still got a little bit of that, that Jackie love in him, 02:27:50.320 --> 02:27:54.240 is ox likes to say we'll still step forward on occasion. The benefits usually 02:27:54.240 --> 02:27:58.400 outweighing the cost but not in this case. He went walking in looking to face 02:27:58.400 --> 02:28:04.000 check you over the walls. The dragon spawns owner hovering in the darkness. 02:28:04.000 --> 02:28:10.080 He's won every 50 50 thus far. Team liquid may just be looking for a fight. 02:28:10.080 --> 02:28:14.960 Nice poke on the quid. No ulti taken away from him yet. See what he can 02:28:14.960 --> 02:28:19.920 hijack. See what he can do to put down a favorable position. Owner fishing core 02:28:19.920 --> 02:28:24.480 off to the side. Eyes on the Alistar, but Faker might want to start this fight first. 02:28:24.480 --> 02:28:28.480 Lights turned off. Dragon getting burned down. Owner wants to stay around in the area. 2K 02:28:28.480 --> 02:28:31.480 getting lower and lower. Denying access to the pit. They need to burn down the objective. 02:28:31.480 --> 02:28:38.480 But it's the other one! Are you kidding me? This is why they call him owner. The objectives 02:28:38.480 --> 02:28:46.480 belong to him. Just as the fight might belong to T1, but instead, no. TL remains steadfast, 02:28:46.480 --> 02:28:51.000 Crankable in the face of elimination quid unstoppable 02:28:51.280 --> 02:28:55.660 Yeah, they're gonna try to chase him down here quick try to stop the bases as they're looking to push mid as well 02:28:55.660 --> 02:28:58.180 But Jose and y'all are both very low 02:28:58.600 --> 02:29:03.960 But how does he do it every single time gets through everyone played that brilliantly 02:29:04.240 --> 02:29:08.680 Cor was trying to stand on them to get the HP low watch owners patience here 02:29:08.680 --> 02:29:12.920 So he knows he only gonna focus this down course gonna knock him out instead. He kicks core away 02:29:12.920 --> 02:29:17.080 So now it's like wait, how do we keep him back? They knocked her and also and they try to kill him 02:29:17.080 --> 02:29:23.260 But then he realizes it's too low the fierce Heather doesn't actually land it from Jose Ward hop in range 02:29:24.280 --> 02:29:29.000 1450 East might perfectly done that man is a machine 02:29:29.000 --> 02:29:34.120 I refuse to believe that a human can do it the owner showing me once again 02:29:34.120 --> 02:29:37.720 It can be done a beautiful change of corruption though from yawn 02:29:37.800 --> 02:29:42.280 He's found pace in every fight yawn is on fire again caught him with the ult 02:29:42.280 --> 02:29:46.440 That's why Jose flashes in for the fear tether afterwards if you don't catch Pays with that 02:29:46.440 --> 02:29:49.820 I think Pays can glide on you and kill their whole team from that low HP 02:29:50.380 --> 02:29:53.040 So many fights so damn close 02:29:53.800 --> 02:29:55.600 Seekers up for quid 02:29:55.600 --> 02:29:59.460 Son is free on quid still playing very far forward very aggressive 02:30:01.560 --> 02:30:05.800 He's getting scary and scary Morgan off on the side gets an extra two and a half seconds 02:30:05.800 --> 02:30:10.600 F y'all to going in on the baker force the flash over the wall and almost instantaneous retreat coming out from T1 02:30:10.600 --> 02:30:14.460 They know at this point in the game the stakes are sky-high if they lose another fight 02:30:14.560 --> 02:30:18.000 You know might just grab to win. Yeah, they are really on 02:30:18.520 --> 02:30:23.160 That knife's edge this late in the game next team fight win doesn't really matter who it is 02:30:23.160 --> 02:30:27.200 You could probably if you get a clean fight, it's over 100% even if you get a fight 02:30:27.200 --> 02:30:29.600 That's pretty favored, but he carries her dead 02:30:29.600 --> 02:30:33.080 You could just march down and end it and T1 are gonna try to force the issue here 02:30:33.080 --> 02:30:39.360 They know they pushed put back quit is heading down towards bot. He does have his tp Morgan has no alts and no zonias 02:30:39.360 --> 02:30:41.920 That's why they're forcing the issue. Rumble's weak. 02:30:41.920 --> 02:30:43.760 You look good. Have to be careful. Where is Faker? 02:30:43.760 --> 02:30:44.560 Could be waiting. The dark end. 02:30:44.560 --> 02:30:47.360 Pole hitting four members is big. 02:30:47.360 --> 02:30:50.160 Faker ready to arrive in the fight. 02:30:50.160 --> 02:30:52.560 Wade waiting off on the side. Which ulti will he take? 02:30:52.560 --> 02:30:54.160 Faker appearing over the wall. Look at the lockdown. 02:30:54.160 --> 02:30:55.360 Yonburi goes for it. 02:30:55.360 --> 02:30:56.560 Binds an extra moment. 02:30:56.560 --> 02:30:57.520 A stolen away Milleal. 02:30:57.520 --> 02:30:59.200 So he's giving him the space that they need. 02:30:59.200 --> 02:31:00.240 Owners straight into the back line. 02:31:00.240 --> 02:31:01.040 Wants to turn it. 02:31:01.040 --> 02:31:03.280 But Yon is too damn strong. Pays locked up. 02:31:03.280 --> 02:31:04.400 But the follow-up is not there. 02:31:04.400 --> 02:31:05.760 And he's ready to glide. 02:31:05.760 --> 02:31:07.600 Ready to slide through this entire fight. 02:31:07.600 --> 02:31:08.960 Quick dash over the wall. 02:31:08.960 --> 02:31:11.920 a GA, a Zondja's, an extra couple seconds, 02:31:11.920 --> 02:31:13.460 Pay's determined to make the difference, 02:31:13.460 --> 02:31:16.160 flashing out a snipe from downtown. 02:31:16.160 --> 02:31:17.360 Y'all, please! 02:31:18.720 --> 02:31:19.960 Hold back. 02:31:19.960 --> 02:31:23.200 Both 80 carries playing on the absolute edge. 02:31:23.200 --> 02:31:25.460 Team Liquid advantage in the fight, 02:31:25.460 --> 02:31:28.100 but fire, once again, the barrier's still there. 02:31:28.100 --> 02:31:29.060 The healing. 02:31:29.060 --> 02:31:30.400 Pay stands! 02:31:30.400 --> 02:31:32.060 Morgan does not! 02:31:33.000 --> 02:31:35.920 Doran has been so clutched down the stretch here, 02:31:35.920 --> 02:31:38.060 that double kill at the end of that last fight, 02:31:38.060 --> 02:31:40.580 and two shot blasts each getting a kill. 02:31:40.580 --> 02:31:43.380 And the problem now for TL is the respawn timers. 02:31:43.380 --> 02:31:45.020 Morgan is dead for 50. 02:31:45.020 --> 02:31:46.980 T1 are going to rez, and they could just 02:31:46.980 --> 02:31:48.460 go right back to the Baron. 02:31:48.460 --> 02:31:52.660 Because Morgan is going to be dead for 40 seconds still. 02:31:52.660 --> 02:31:56.380 And owner and faker up into Doran may have just won T1. 02:31:56.380 --> 02:31:58.740 The Baron may have just won them the game 02:31:58.740 --> 02:32:00.180 with those two shot blasts. 02:32:00.180 --> 02:32:03.220 As good as it's looked for TL, as good as some of those fights 02:32:03.220 --> 02:32:04.820 have been, the gold is still so close. 02:32:04.820 --> 02:32:07.020 There is no greater advantage to the Baron 02:32:07.020 --> 02:32:14.780 shifting so heavily in the favor of T1 and we've said it for a moment 02:32:15.740 --> 02:32:21.980 TL believed it was all coming together but T1 so quick to take that away. The game not over yet 02:32:21.980 --> 02:32:26.460 but it's getting closer to ending in T1's favor. I mean it was just a great force here because they 02:32:26.460 --> 02:32:31.580 know that there's no zonis, there's no flash, there's no equalizer. Rumble doesn't have the tools. 02:32:31.580 --> 02:32:35.180 TL does a good job of absorbing this engage. Great zonis there from Yan. The breath of life 02:32:35.180 --> 02:32:38.380 from Qwidd, 5th lot of time there from Yon. 02:32:38.380 --> 02:32:40.880 Owner goes in, can't finish him off. Faker looks like he's in trouble, 02:32:40.880 --> 02:32:43.480 but it's on the other side that Paze is the real issue here. 02:32:43.480 --> 02:32:46.080 Paze gliding around, Jose's ult came back up. 02:32:46.080 --> 02:32:47.980 They get in to try to punish Paze here, 02:32:47.980 --> 02:32:49.780 and look at TL playing around cooldowns. 02:32:49.780 --> 02:32:53.080 They wait until the scrap shield's back up to try to go and defend Qwidd, 02:32:53.080 --> 02:32:58.780 but this shock blast and the subsequent one, this was one auto away from being killed. 02:32:58.780 --> 02:33:00.780 Trying to make his way out, so he's already used now. 02:33:00.780 --> 02:33:02.780 He's in trouble. Qwidd can try and turn this one back 02:33:02.780 --> 02:33:04.880 and click ulti out. Now Qwidd needs to get the hell out. 02:33:04.880 --> 02:33:08.180 They may have over-committed to this one. A nice knockup. A nice interrun. 02:33:08.180 --> 02:33:11.780 Honor might fall equalizer across the top, but the damage isn't quite there. 02:33:11.780 --> 02:33:16.680 Honor ticking and burning, but with the GA still supporting him, there was no hope of finishing the kill. 02:33:16.680 --> 02:33:19.780 Yeah, it always seems to be the way against T1. 02:33:19.780 --> 02:33:26.480 You come close, but it's so hard to finish the job, whether it's a kill, whether it's a game, whether it's a dragon, it just doesn't matter. 02:33:26.480 --> 02:33:29.480 They make you fight for every last inch. 02:33:29.480 --> 02:33:33.680 Honor limping away there. How do you be able to get the kill? Then they can't go for the dragon. 02:33:33.680 --> 02:33:37.080 And you can actually delay it and have an earlier respawn in your jungler. 02:33:37.080 --> 02:33:41.280 Maybe you get sold, but again, three times now. 02:33:41.280 --> 02:33:45.880 T1 delaying this soul for TL, and now they are both on three dragons here. 02:33:45.880 --> 02:33:47.880 And T1 take a slight gold lead. 02:33:47.880 --> 02:33:53.280 They have the bear, and they are really just one fight away from ending the game here. 02:33:53.280 --> 02:33:55.280 But it's anyone's game to win. 02:33:55.280 --> 02:33:57.880 That they are, but when you want to get chunks like that, 02:33:57.880 --> 02:34:01.780 the game gets a lot harder for Team Liquid Alienware. 02:34:01.780 --> 02:34:04.420 He won now on the retreat. 02:34:04.420 --> 02:34:06.260 After he just back away, still a minute left 02:34:06.260 --> 02:34:07.540 on that red bull Baron power play. 02:34:07.540 --> 02:34:09.660 But getting the drink is enough. 02:34:09.660 --> 02:34:11.420 Some cool tech here from Core goes to Bissell. 02:34:11.420 --> 02:34:13.620 Again, we talked about the multiple sources of AP. 02:34:13.620 --> 02:34:14.900 This is fantastic. 02:34:14.900 --> 02:34:18.220 Quinn really needs to get golds for his zonias, though. 02:34:18.220 --> 02:34:19.780 Feels like he's pretty far off. 02:34:19.780 --> 02:34:21.100 When he gets that third zonias, there's 02:34:21.100 --> 02:34:22.980 a lot of playmaking tools here. 02:34:22.980 --> 02:34:25.540 On TL, obviously Core with the Alistar all difficult to take 02:34:25.540 --> 02:34:26.040 down. 02:34:26.040 --> 02:34:29.260 There's GA that will be coming back up here for Jose. 02:34:29.260 --> 02:34:34.700 And then they're looking to get towards triple Zonius as Yon having an intense 1v1. 02:34:34.700 --> 02:34:35.820 He's decided not to. 02:34:35.820 --> 02:34:40.100 Yeah, I think Jose has basically said he wants it for an item completion because you look at Jose's items. 02:34:40.100 --> 02:34:42.020 He's saying, wait, wait, wait, just leave it. 02:34:42.020 --> 02:34:45.620 I actually want to finish it, or maybe Yon get nervous that T1 will be there too soon. 02:34:45.620 --> 02:34:47.580 Either way, it doesn't really matter. 02:34:47.580 --> 02:34:50.500 Maybe Yon was trying to work in towards the QSS. 02:34:50.500 --> 02:34:54.140 And Quid does get his Zonius, so that is a fake purchase. 02:34:54.140 --> 02:34:58.980 That he does. The tower almost just disappears right in front of our eyes. 02:34:58.980 --> 02:35:02.580 waiting off to the side hoping to find a flank has to clear out the vision first 02:35:02.580 --> 02:35:08.100 he wants bottom with the spryers the last wave of the Baron empowered siege is 02:35:08.100 --> 02:35:14.500 here three minutes the soul for either side or the Baron is on the table and if 02:35:14.500 --> 02:35:18.420 you wanted action you got action 50 combined kills in 36 minutes now the 02:35:18.420 --> 02:35:23.820 highest combined kills for a game at this MSI it has been an absolute blood 02:35:23.820 --> 02:35:26.820 Both teams really playing well in this game. 02:35:26.820 --> 02:35:29.820 Some incredible mechanics on display here. 02:35:29.820 --> 02:35:32.820 T1 with the edge now, but it's three dragons to three. 02:35:32.820 --> 02:35:35.820 2K gold is irrelevant at this point in the game, 02:35:35.820 --> 02:35:37.820 and 5K of the advantage is all on Doran, 02:35:37.820 --> 02:35:39.820 and Doran has been done as items for a while, 02:35:39.820 --> 02:35:41.820 so he basically has nothing he can spend it on. 02:35:41.820 --> 02:35:43.820 Unless he wants to start changing out items, 02:35:43.820 --> 02:35:44.820 the gold means nothing. 02:35:44.820 --> 02:35:47.820 It is going to be about the gold on the carries, 02:35:47.820 --> 02:35:51.820 and in those roles, it is even or slightly favorite towards TL right now. 02:35:51.820 --> 02:35:56.620 right now. As it is, you can see QSS now picked up from Yon, double defensive items here. 02:35:56.620 --> 02:36:02.060 But really, it's going to come down to who can find better positioning on the fight or 02:36:02.060 --> 02:36:06.260 who can chip away at those major cooldowns before the next fight breaks out. Morgan, 02:36:06.260 --> 02:36:09.780 probably going to have access to that TP, flashes, should all be up. It's really only 02:36:09.780 --> 02:36:15.580 Yon's we're waiting on. So it's going to be the full team fight, no greater edge, and 02:36:15.580 --> 02:36:19.220 thus one of these two lineups can maybe find a pick on a side lane, punish someone for 02:36:19.220 --> 02:36:20.740 for over pushing a potential wave, 02:36:20.740 --> 02:36:23.660 but it's a big reason why you see T1 moving his three, 02:36:23.660 --> 02:36:25.380 even just to clear a single midway. 02:36:25.380 --> 02:36:28.020 Yep, Yon even there was trying to cover Jose 02:36:28.020 --> 02:36:29.340 as he's doing his wolves. 02:36:29.340 --> 02:36:31.940 They know one pick in the game could very easily be over 02:36:31.940 --> 02:36:34.380 because Mountain Soul could be the decider. 02:36:34.380 --> 02:36:35.660 And if you die at the wrong time, 02:36:35.660 --> 02:36:36.900 you lose your summoners at the wrong time, 02:36:36.900 --> 02:36:38.740 you misplay in a fight. 02:36:38.740 --> 02:36:41.220 The stakes do not get higher than in a 40 minute game. 02:36:41.220 --> 02:36:43.820 Well, the respawn timers are gonna be a minute 02:36:43.820 --> 02:36:46.380 if you die here and that's pretty much lights out 02:36:46.380 --> 02:36:47.380 if you take a bad fight. 02:36:47.380 --> 02:36:51.940 So all of the pressure now on these players here. 02:36:51.940 --> 02:36:55.580 And T1 is a team that has faced that pressure 02:36:55.580 --> 02:37:00.380 and come out on top so many times in their careers. 02:37:00.380 --> 02:37:02.940 TL gonna have to try to pull off some magic, 02:37:02.940 --> 02:37:05.380 you know, complete an actual victory here 02:37:05.380 --> 02:37:07.500 because the difference between going 1-1 02:37:07.500 --> 02:37:10.380 and actually being tied in this series and being down 2-0, 02:37:10.380 --> 02:37:12.980 it's a golf bigger than the Grand Canyon. 02:37:12.980 --> 02:37:14.660 Yeah, it is huge. 02:37:14.660 --> 02:37:16.620 Asking for a reverse sweep against T1 02:37:16.620 --> 02:37:19.580 It's just not something that you see every day. 02:37:19.580 --> 02:37:22.460 And remember what it took for us to get this close in this game. 02:37:22.460 --> 02:37:25.620 A heroic comeback with backed up by Jose Dioto 02:37:25.620 --> 02:37:29.500 and core the facilitator of each and every game turning 02:37:29.500 --> 02:37:30.820 play for TL. 02:37:30.820 --> 02:37:33.660 You said it yourself, coming into this tournament domestically, 02:37:33.660 --> 02:37:35.940 not at the top of the list in anyone's mind for support. 02:37:35.940 --> 02:37:37.260 So a lot of names above him. 02:37:37.260 --> 02:37:39.460 But he has been clutch in this tournament so far. 02:37:39.460 --> 02:37:42.340 And in this game, he is no doubt the MVP for TL. 02:37:42.340 --> 02:37:44.780 But an MVP of a loss doesn't mean much. 02:37:44.780 --> 02:37:47.220 TL desperate to convert this into a win. 02:37:48.220 --> 02:37:51.900 And Doran has been really the hero after getting a lot of criticism in the last 02:37:51.900 --> 02:37:54.300 series against TL. 02:37:54.340 --> 02:37:57.420 He comes into game one, gets a solo kill onto Morgan. 02:37:57.700 --> 02:38:00.140 And then he comes into this game and from a number of positions where it looked 02:38:00.140 --> 02:38:03.340 like TL were going to get the advantage, he gets a double kill, then he gets multiple 02:38:03.340 --> 02:38:04.260 shot glass for kills. 02:38:04.300 --> 02:38:09.220 TL are threatening, calling, use, traded for the unbreakable will. 02:38:10.980 --> 02:38:12.180 Dash backwards from TL. 02:38:12.180 --> 02:38:14.980 Really nice to get that Alistar cool down out of the equation. 02:38:14.980 --> 02:38:18.620 At this point, Korra can maybe hope to get one combo before he drops in a fight. 02:38:18.620 --> 02:38:22.620 Exactly. He has the base as well, so T1 might be already on the Baron. We don't know. 02:38:22.620 --> 02:38:25.460 They could actually be over there, and they are, in fact, on the Baron. 02:38:25.460 --> 02:38:28.360 It's going to get spotted. Korra is rushing out of base here, 02:38:28.360 --> 02:38:30.200 but this could be one of the final moments. 02:38:30.200 --> 02:38:33.200 15 seconds on the drake. Maybe TL, yet they're immediately going to turn. 02:38:33.200 --> 02:38:38.600 They have to accept fighting against the Baron in power of T1 on their terms at the Dragon Soul, 02:38:38.600 --> 02:38:41.000 rather than risk going into unknown territory. 02:38:42.180 --> 02:38:52.180 I like the call but it's still really really risky here. T1 gonna try to bully their way in. We don't know if TL are rushing the dragon down or looking for a fight. They're on the dragon but it's still so healthy. 02:38:52.180 --> 02:38:55.620 Anycans playing AK, getting lower core, looking for the engage, 02:38:55.620 --> 02:38:57.500 put off to the side, he's got a duck at the connective pace. 02:38:57.500 --> 02:38:59.060 For now, he's on touch, hosted here in the backline, 02:38:59.060 --> 02:39:00.340 but he's face first into three. 02:39:00.340 --> 02:39:03.340 Lockup is there from Baker, and it's all falling apart. 02:39:03.340 --> 02:39:05.740 Team Liquid have pulled off the dragon for a brief moment, 02:39:05.740 --> 02:39:07.100 owner into the backline. 02:39:07.100 --> 02:39:09.060 Three members left, and they have to hold the line. 02:39:09.060 --> 02:39:12.260 Yaw desperate to turn this back, but Dorn comes in from the skies. 02:39:12.260 --> 02:39:13.820 Yaw still living for an extra moment, 02:39:13.820 --> 02:39:15.100 getting a couple extra autos. 02:39:15.100 --> 02:39:18.180 Baker will finally fall, but Pays full out, 02:39:18.180 --> 02:39:20.700 playing clean up to close it out. 02:39:20.700 --> 02:39:23.780 Core tries to repeat the heroics from earlier, 02:39:23.780 --> 02:39:26.140 but it just doesn't happen. 02:39:26.140 --> 02:39:29.540 T1 win the fight, they avoid the engage. 02:39:29.540 --> 02:39:32.340 TL spent so much on that initial punch, 02:39:32.340 --> 02:39:35.060 and it was just not meant to be. 02:39:35.060 --> 02:39:38.140 Pays stay safe and takes over another team fight. 02:39:38.140 --> 02:39:41.540 A statement from T1, no matter how far ahead you get, 02:39:41.540 --> 02:39:43.900 it just might not matter against this lineup. 02:39:43.900 --> 02:39:45.620 Pays gliding through the fight, 02:39:45.620 --> 02:39:48.300 a single misstep, more than enough for this team 02:39:48.300 --> 02:39:50.220 to end things in their favor. 02:39:50.220 --> 02:39:52.100 Core doing what he can to hold the line, 02:39:52.100 --> 02:39:54.100 but there's just no time. 02:39:54.100 --> 02:39:55.100 Pays this time around. 02:39:55.100 --> 02:39:55.780 Eyes on the prize. 02:39:55.780 --> 02:39:57.340 He doesn't need any more kills. 02:39:57.340 --> 02:39:59.060 Looking for the Nexus. 02:39:59.060 --> 02:40:00.780 Owner knocking it down. 02:40:00.780 --> 02:40:03.220 Core doing everything he possibly can, 02:40:03.220 --> 02:40:07.580 but a few autos are all that's left between T1 and matchpoint. 02:40:07.580 --> 02:40:09.380 Down goes Core. 02:40:09.380 --> 02:40:11.820 Down, go, TL. 02:40:11.820 --> 02:40:13.580 Jose Dioto will fall. 02:40:13.580 --> 02:40:15.100 The Nexus will fall. 02:40:15.100 --> 02:40:17.220 T1 at matchpoint. 02:40:18.300 --> 02:40:24.860 Well played by T1 again, they come up big in the team fights and so many clutch moments by Dorian 02:40:24.860 --> 02:40:30.540 really felt like he was such a difference maker in this game. AD, it's a reverse report, it's nothing. 02:40:32.860 --> 02:40:38.700 Yeah, I think I know that. I think I know that, Isael. You don't have to tell me I could see the 02:40:38.700 --> 02:40:43.420 score in front of me and I'm mad. Listen, like at the beginning of the day you said, I trust them to 02:40:43.420 --> 02:40:46.620 to take one. I feel like that was the one. 02:40:46.620 --> 02:40:49.540 That was the one. I fully believe this was this. 02:40:49.540 --> 02:40:51.460 I thought it was going to go up to Frisch. 02:40:51.460 --> 02:40:53.940 We were screaming on the desk. Oh my God! 02:40:53.940 --> 02:40:54.940 Yeah! 02:40:54.940 --> 02:40:57.620 Okay, before we talk, I'm sorry, Raz. 02:40:57.620 --> 02:41:00.340 But you know what? A bit of a pat on the shoulder. 02:41:00.340 --> 02:41:01.780 Before we talk about what went wrong, 02:41:01.780 --> 02:41:05.340 let's take a look at what went right with the replay 02:41:05.340 --> 02:41:07.820 by Cisco and thanks to the Reliable Cisco Network. 02:41:07.820 --> 02:41:09.860 We know that Corey JJ, we've talked about him. 02:41:09.860 --> 02:41:13.100 He can be clutched. He was clutched once again. 02:41:13.100 --> 02:41:18.100 Things started to go bad after this, but this was one of the plays where you can trust the support in the veteran. 02:41:18.100 --> 02:41:26.100 Four man knockup. He has been the reliable player on Team Liquid. His engages have been so good. 02:41:26.100 --> 02:41:30.100 Every time you look at the draft, you're like, that's an Alistar into Emilio. I'm not too sure about it. 02:41:30.100 --> 02:41:34.100 You see plays like that and you know why he locks it in. 02:41:34.100 --> 02:41:39.100 Yeah, I did nothing. I literally was looking at it going, okay, why would you take the Alistar against Emilio? 02:41:39.100 --> 02:41:43.680 I played this matchup, it sucks, it's an Israel time! 02:41:43.680 --> 02:41:50.100 Well CoreJJ made it work and I fully thought that off the back of this and with the way Jose Diodo was playing 02:41:50.100 --> 02:41:54.600 but all the backup that was there was going to come to fruition but they just couldn't get it across the line. 02:41:54.600 --> 02:41:59.100 I want to take a look at the post game breakdown because let's look at that gold graph. 02:41:59.100 --> 02:42:00.600 No, I don't want to look at it. 02:42:00.600 --> 02:42:03.100 No, no, no, but listen, what point in game? 02:42:03.100 --> 02:42:08.700 I think we see it clearly, but what is interesting is that T1 made it happen over time. 02:42:08.700 --> 02:42:11.500 It was not one game breaking team fight. 02:42:11.500 --> 02:42:16.100 It was picking up in the mid lane, finding that clutch TP. 02:42:16.100 --> 02:42:22.300 Those really small plays once again that make the difference and like even if Team Liquid set up the pace of the game, 02:42:22.300 --> 02:42:26.100 it's just not enough with T1 and the way they can find their way back in the game. 02:42:26.100 --> 02:42:29.700 Yeah, before we look at all the bad, all the good that was happening for Team Liquid. 02:42:29.700 --> 02:42:31.300 Okay, we're looking at all the bad. 02:42:31.300 --> 02:42:38.100 Look, that was a perfectly placed control ward because he knew that Yon had no idea he was sitting in that bush. 02:42:38.100 --> 02:42:45.300 And so he recognized that Yon was trying to cross through, paced throughout this entire game, found beautiful moments, and it wasn't just him dying. 02:42:45.300 --> 02:42:53.100 No, it wasn't. It was Doran stepping up. There were so many moments where a just little unique plays coming through from T1. 02:42:53.100 --> 02:42:56.500 The individual players stepping up to make the difference happen. 02:42:56.500 --> 02:43:03.120 Even here like Doran getting a double snipe off the back of this that then set up for T1 Baron immediately after 02:43:03.120 --> 02:43:07.120 It was tiny plays that just broke the back of TL. Yeah 02:43:07.120 --> 02:43:12.340 The last replay he got a 1k shut down and this one he gets another shut down 02:43:12.340 --> 02:43:15.220 And that was off the back of pays really cutting well in that one 02:43:15.220 --> 02:43:22.040 And then you see that smite fight that owner reliably wins and that stops the the the fact that you ended up getting a soul 02:43:22.040 --> 02:43:25.880 for Team Liquid, they couldn't get that, so it ends up being a quadruple mountain mountain 02:43:25.880 --> 02:43:31.040 show for T1. It's so frustrating when you're going up against T1, and this is, I'm gonna 02:43:31.040 --> 02:43:34.240 say if they go to a main stage, when they go to a main stage. 02:43:34.240 --> 02:43:40.320 I got lost all hope. But like, this is something you always have to recognize with T1, they're 02:43:40.320 --> 02:43:45.920 so mechanically skilled in team fights, so all the prep, all the setup, huge goal league 02:43:45.920 --> 02:43:46.920 doesn't matter. 02:43:46.920 --> 02:43:54.000 So make it keep some bringing it. It's just not enough and I do feel like game 3 might not be enough for them to find the solution here 02:43:54.560 --> 02:43:59.680 Especially with the crowd being so vibrant especially T1 being prepared every step of the way 02:43:59.960 --> 02:44:06.840 Raz I hope they can get this one game. It has to be next one. Otherwise the series is completely good 02:44:06.840 --> 02:44:12.840 I appreciate T1's effort, but it hasn't been enough so far T1 bringing us too much points 02:44:12.840 --> 02:44:14.840 Let's see if they can close it out next game 02:44:14.840 --> 02:44:16.840 Let's go TL! 02:44:16.840 --> 02:44:18.840 Just one game! 02:44:44.840 --> 02:44:45.840 from the skies. 02:44:45.840 --> 02:44:47.240 Yonster living for an extra moment, 02:44:47.240 --> 02:44:48.520 getting a couple extra autos. 02:44:48.520 --> 02:44:51.640 Baker will violently fall, but Pays full out, 02:44:51.640 --> 02:44:54.120 playing clean up to close it out. 02:44:54.120 --> 02:44:57.160 Four tries to repeat the heroics from earlier, 02:44:57.160 --> 02:44:59.640 but it just doesn't happen. 02:45:14.840 --> 02:45:25.080 The human body was built to move. 02:45:25.080 --> 02:45:32.020 Not trapped at a desk in one singular posture for 12 hours a day. 02:45:32.020 --> 02:45:35.040 It's time your chair evolved. 02:45:35.040 --> 02:45:39.280 This is Secret Lab Titan Evo. 02:45:39.280 --> 02:45:45.120 ergonomically engineered for you, gamers, hybrid workers, artists, 02:45:45.120 --> 02:45:48.120 and back in your every move. 02:45:51.120 --> 02:45:58.120 Times like this are where star players shine and new legends step up, 02:45:58.120 --> 02:46:05.120 where legacies are built and dreams either realized or ripped apart. 02:46:05.120 --> 02:46:07.120 He still doesn't die! 02:46:07.120 --> 02:46:10.920 You cannot accept the fact that I am an expectant 02:46:10.920 --> 02:46:13.120 To talk about terrible 02:46:13.120 --> 02:46:15.520 If you want to live, you have to be strong 02:46:15.520 --> 02:46:17.520 Do yourself a broken dream 02:46:17.520 --> 02:46:20.120 I just find a Easter 02:46:37.120 --> 02:46:56.800 of the offseason blues once worlds is over? Fear not, because League of Legends is coming 02:46:56.800 --> 02:47:01.960 to the very first eSports Nations Cup, where players split from their clubs and compete 02:47:01.960 --> 02:47:08.500 for national pride. Will China test every limit imaginable? Will South Korea turn every 02:47:08.500 --> 02:47:14.400 game into a macro masterclass? Will EU and NA actually play in the correct lengths? The 02:47:14.400 --> 02:47:20.900 final event of the year is not to be missed. Esports Nation's Cup 2026. See you in Riyadh. 02:48:01.960 --> 02:48:29.160 I've told you I was done with basic browsers 02:48:29.160 --> 02:48:48.720 You're setup wants opera GX and you're holding it back. 02:48:48.720 --> 02:48:50.720 Speak to the game browser. 02:48:50.720 --> 02:48:53.720 GambleDopperGX. 02:48:58.720 --> 02:49:01.720 Let go gives you wings. 02:49:01.720 --> 02:49:04.720 With my new phone company, Menace Mobile, 02:49:04.720 --> 02:49:07.720 our pricing structure will be so confusing, 02:49:07.720 --> 02:49:09.720 it can only be described as evil. 02:49:09.720 --> 02:49:10.720 That isn't evil. 02:49:10.720 --> 02:49:12.720 It's just typical phone company stuff. 02:49:12.720 --> 02:49:14.720 Besides people just switch to Verizon. 02:49:14.720 --> 02:49:16.720 With their new simplicity plan, 02:49:16.720 --> 02:49:18.680 It's just one plan and one price. 02:49:18.680 --> 02:49:19.280 What now? 02:49:19.280 --> 02:49:21.160 And it's only $30 for a single line. 02:49:21.160 --> 02:49:22.680 $30! 02:49:22.680 --> 02:49:24.800 So you're all choosing Verizon. 02:49:24.800 --> 02:49:25.960 Freeders! 02:49:25.960 --> 02:49:29.520 Introducing the Simplicity Plan, $30 for a single line. 02:49:29.520 --> 02:49:30.760 Can you hear me now? 02:49:30.760 --> 02:49:31.600 Woo hoo hoo! 02:52:16.720 --> 02:52:21.720 And it was so close. And you heard it from the desk, you'll hear it from the desk, you'll probably hear it from me too. 02:52:21.720 --> 02:52:30.720 But now that it is 2-0 in the favor of T1, it's starting to feel impossible for Team Liquid Alienware to come back. 02:52:30.720 --> 02:52:33.720 I mean, you have to win three in a row against the most clutch team of all time. 02:52:33.720 --> 02:52:37.720 And they've beaten you five times in a row at this tournament. So it's a tough ask, right? 02:52:37.720 --> 02:52:43.720 We have now seen three games, I would say, out of the five, where I'm like, hey, Dill could win this. 02:52:43.720 --> 02:52:48.680 win this. They have a real shot. This I think was the closest even closer than the 6k1 just 02:52:48.680 --> 02:52:54.920 because it was so late in the game that if you nail that engage, if you are able to win that fight, 02:52:54.920 --> 02:52:59.880 the game literally just ends because the rest timers are too long, right? But that is what 02:52:59.880 --> 02:53:04.360 makes T1 T1. That is what makes the top teams the top teams is that unless they've said a thousand 02:53:04.360 --> 02:53:08.920 times, love it or hate it, so meta is team fighting. At the end of the day, everything else is just a 02:53:08.920 --> 02:53:13.800 vehicle to set up your team fight in League of Legends currently. And so, split-bush, 02:53:13.800 --> 02:53:18.120 laning phase, picks, stealing camps, everything is just to make you stronger for the team fight. 02:53:18.120 --> 02:53:23.160 If you can't win a team fight, you can't win a game. And T1 has been better in five games in a row 02:53:23.160 --> 02:53:27.960 than TL in the team fighting, right? And that is really the biggest difference. TL has had their 02:53:27.960 --> 02:53:33.720 moments. They have won team fights, but never the last team fight. And all team fights are not built 02:53:33.720 --> 02:53:37.660 people in League of Legends. If you win one at 40 minutes, the Nexus explodes. If you 02:53:37.660 --> 02:53:43.000 win one at 10, you get a gold lead. We'll give you a little gold star on your shirt 02:53:43.000 --> 02:53:47.080 exactly. But you're not getting the Nexus, you're not getting the win. Now the first 02:53:47.080 --> 02:53:53.440 pick though, coming in for the side, P1. They did not for first pick, PL once again had 02:53:53.440 --> 02:53:59.440 a side selection. So off to go for blue. Taking their time here. What is the option 02:53:59.440 --> 02:54:04.860 Going to be Camille still remains from a band. Why was left through this time around it won't be allowed 02:54:06.280 --> 02:54:10.240 Pick it up now for owner. Oh, so T. L. Are first pick this time so 02:54:12.400 --> 02:54:15.060 It's the same as last game T1 refer to our first pick 02:54:16.380 --> 02:54:18.900 No, it's looking or my oh, I'm crazy 02:54:21.200 --> 02:54:25.020 You're good, you're good. Yeah, we just passed the highest kill game ever 02:54:25.020 --> 02:54:31.680 I think I just passed out reset from the brain. Yeah. All right, so I just buy coming in. I don't know why my brain just did not see by 02:54:32.520 --> 02:54:36.480 Nefiri pretty common answer to the vibe is something that Jose is very comfortable on 02:54:37.040 --> 02:54:40.760 You can win out of the duals. There's obviously a lot of great uses for your immunity 02:54:40.920 --> 02:54:47.860 The vials as well as the Q you can actually immune avoid and Jose loves playing in his opponent's face on this champion because you're so 02:54:47.860 --> 02:54:51.960 Adept at actually jumping in that other jungle going over walls stealing away cams 02:54:51.960 --> 02:54:57.240 So I do think it's something that really fits his style, but it is something that kind of needs to comp those around it 02:54:57.240 --> 02:55:02.160 It's kind of similar to not turn that way where it's like you don't just want not turn and no one else that wants to die 02:55:02.160 --> 02:55:08.040 Right or absolutely really play so Renekton makes a lot of sense here is absolute comfort for Morgan 02:55:08.280 --> 02:55:11.280 And the question is where does Doran want to take us? 02:55:11.280 --> 02:55:14.560 Will he just go towards something like a sign and just kind of say you know what? 02:55:14.560 --> 02:55:17.680 I'm just playing to be that brick wall and set up for the team fights 02:55:17.680 --> 02:55:20.280 I just need to not die and we will be chilling 02:55:20.280 --> 02:55:26.280 Casio currently the Hover would be the line. 02:55:26.280 --> 02:55:34.280 Yeah, and I mean I will say Quid is not an Olivia guy, you know, so like that's not available. 02:55:34.280 --> 02:55:37.280 I feel like he's probably just gonna go for it, to be honest. 02:55:37.280 --> 02:55:40.280 If I was to guess what Quid would go from here. 02:55:40.280 --> 02:55:42.280 Okay, it's gonna be Zahen as the answer. 02:55:42.280 --> 02:55:48.280 So Dorian just wants to scrap, and this is, to me it's pretty 50-50 as far as the top lane matchup goes. 02:55:48.280 --> 02:55:52.520 kind of skill base. I think there's different points of power for both sides. 02:55:52.520 --> 02:55:57.400 We're considering the Galio which would make it way more all in as far as the dive is concerned. 02:55:58.120 --> 02:56:00.760 I was kind of thinking he would just go control mage for control mage, 02:56:01.640 --> 02:56:06.520 but you know this is definitely another powerful option here. And we have to see you know what kind 02:56:06.520 --> 02:56:11.560 of style of game they want to play. I mean if you go Galio you are really committing to full dive. 02:56:11.560 --> 02:56:17.960 And I do think it can be very difficult to dive into both the hen and Casio. So I can't say I 02:56:17.960 --> 02:56:21.540 love the direction of the draft in the first three because if you don't watch 02:56:21.540 --> 02:56:24.500 out the hen, the hen just grim deliverance drops down your whole team 02:56:24.500 --> 02:56:27.380 you're trying to fight through him and he is just ailing you and you're trying to 02:56:27.380 --> 02:56:31.540 dive onto Casio through the asthma and petrifying gaze it can work but it's tough 02:56:31.540 --> 02:56:35.180 yeah I think the burden of execution even if TL have a lot of you know the 02:56:35.180 --> 02:56:40.100 necessary hard CC certainly is on them to make these combos work he won 02:56:40.100 --> 02:56:43.660 half his rank as a hen champion who was recently buffed but as you mentioned 02:56:43.660 --> 02:56:48.660 Outside of those big teams by ulti, you still click the lane to be relatively comparable. 02:56:48.660 --> 02:56:54.660 Respect to the 3 Jose Dioto fans out there in a C of T1. They're fighting the good fight. 02:56:54.660 --> 02:56:57.660 That they are. Will it be enough? Well, we're gonna have to find out. 02:56:57.660 --> 02:57:01.660 Again, we see that Galista Bandaways fan game won as well. I think it makes a lot of sense. 02:57:01.660 --> 02:57:05.660 Again, when you're going for a dive comp, you want to limit some of these champions with some free build and protection, 02:57:05.660 --> 02:57:07.660 whether it's for themselves or for anyone else. 02:57:07.660 --> 02:57:14.260 And Paze is just, he's a freak on that champ and that guy is so good on Kalista. 02:57:14.260 --> 02:57:20.260 And Kalista is so good in the early game and Paze and Keria are the best bot lane duo. 02:57:20.260 --> 02:57:22.260 So that is problematic, right? 02:57:22.260 --> 02:57:27.260 You give the best players in the game one of the best early game champs and then you tell them play safe. 02:57:27.260 --> 02:57:29.760 And it's kind of like, well, good luck. 02:57:29.760 --> 02:57:35.760 You know, when you break it down for me, it does seem like the most obvious decision in the world actually to ban that away. 02:57:35.760 --> 02:57:44.560 Ziggs also taken out the corner. Again, this is a champion where you already see double AD on the top side and really nice to have the relative safety of the Ziggs who can play back and just ult on top of whatever is happening. 02:57:44.560 --> 02:57:54.660 And they need AP, right? Because you're looking at the comp. Yeah, Galio is kind of magic damage, kind of sort of, but let's be honest. Usually you go, you know, at most like one AP item and then you're kind of going tanky. 02:57:54.660 --> 02:57:58.280 Sometimes people go more than that, so I think Mel and Zig's really, really smart fans. 02:57:58.280 --> 02:58:03.380 Not only are they champions that can kind of just maybe and more a lot of laning phase through wave clear, 02:58:03.380 --> 02:58:07.920 but they are champions that really round out the composition here that TL is drafting for. 02:58:07.920 --> 02:58:14.380 And they're compositionally good as far as throwing the ult into backline on top of the galley ult, you know, all these types of tools. 02:58:14.380 --> 02:58:18.980 So I'm curious to see where they go. If they want to play something that enables dive, you could always go Sivir, you could go Jin. 02:58:18.980 --> 02:58:25.940 I think those are our picks that, you know, are relatively okay in lane, but the problem is Caitlyn's still up. 02:58:25.940 --> 02:58:30.980 So it's like, if you go, if you go something like Sivir and you have a weak laning phase, then it could be really tough. 02:58:30.980 --> 02:58:37.940 So instead, they're gonna go Xayah, which obviously is always a great answer into the Vi, very easy to ult the ult from Vi. 02:58:37.940 --> 02:58:46.420 But, that being said, you can really struggle against range in the 2v2, so I'm worried about, like, what if they just go Caitlyn Karma or something like that, you know? 02:58:46.420 --> 02:58:51.020 I know Karma's been nerfed a lot, but you could just go like a long-range, pokey-style bot lane, 02:58:51.020 --> 02:58:55.020 rely on the Vi for engage, and just play to dominate the 2v2. 02:58:55.020 --> 02:59:00.320 And so, that's my big concern, is they just go, yeah, Caitlyn Karma, Caitlyn Lux, Caitlyn whatever. 02:59:00.320 --> 02:59:02.020 Instead it's gonna be Zeria and Umi. 02:59:02.620 --> 02:59:05.720 I think almost for sure they're gonna go Zeria and Umi if they're gonna lock the Zeria, but... 02:59:05.720 --> 02:59:07.620 Makes a lot of sense, and you highlighted it well, right? 02:59:07.620 --> 02:59:10.520 But also, Ziya's a champion who, I think similar to the Victor that you mentioned earlier, 02:59:10.520 --> 02:59:12.920 draft so good when enemy champions have to fight into her, 02:59:12.920 --> 02:59:19.240 But she's not that 80 carry you can instantly follow up on whatever gallium to fury play you're trying to make so bit of a disconnect there 02:59:19.240 --> 02:59:21.240 And maybe instead 02:59:22.080 --> 02:59:25.680 Considering the Lulu I mean Lulu is great as well right you know you have really really effective peel 02:59:26.120 --> 02:59:29.840 If you time your wild growth you can you can actually knock the dash in from the fury 02:59:29.840 --> 02:59:36.320 Which is really frustrating for the theory and it's gonna make it really tough for Jose because you go in you get polymorphed 02:59:36.320 --> 02:59:41.080 Core, I feel like he's the kind of player who, yeah, we're down two games. 02:59:41.080 --> 02:59:42.720 If this is the pick, this is the pick, right? 02:59:42.720 --> 02:59:44.760 He's not going to be phased by the moment. 02:59:44.760 --> 02:59:47.920 If he believes it is the best pick, he's going to go blitz, win or lose, he's going 02:59:47.920 --> 02:59:51.440 to be okay with that because he believes it is the strongest pick. 02:59:51.440 --> 02:59:54.160 Whether or not you are actually going to go blitz, it's hard to know. 02:59:54.160 --> 02:59:56.240 I would respect the hell out of it. 02:59:56.240 --> 02:59:58.520 Kovakon is more common. 02:59:58.520 --> 03:00:02.320 He's got a world skin on it, and this is absolute comfort for him. 03:00:02.320 --> 03:00:10.820 It is going to facilitate the dive really, really well, and TL do have kind of a bit of a one-note comp here, you know, Ziya is kind of just following up. 03:00:10.820 --> 03:00:15.320 Obviously, you have the defensive ult to try to be able to deal with these mails that are going to be diving on you. 03:00:15.320 --> 03:00:25.320 But I feel like T1 want to fight back, and TL can only really click forward, because to me, if I'm T1, and I'm Zery, I'm Casio, I am running backwards, 03:00:25.320 --> 03:00:29.520 and I'm just hitting you as I'm running backwards and I'm making you fight through owner and Doran 03:00:29.520 --> 03:00:32.520 and these melee champs which I think is a really cool task. 03:00:32.520 --> 03:00:37.020 And it's certainly, especially when you're already down two games, this is the do or die composition 03:00:37.020 --> 03:00:41.120 from the side of Team Liquid Alienware and while there's certainly a lot of comfort and a lot of power, 03:00:41.120 --> 03:00:43.320 again the burden of execution is on them. 03:00:43.320 --> 03:00:46.820 We've seen the path to success with Paze on this area before. 03:00:46.820 --> 03:00:48.920 If he goes late, he wins games. 03:00:48.920 --> 03:00:52.420 Now there's not a Yumi strapped to his back so it might be a little bit harder, 03:00:52.420 --> 03:00:57.260 But overall, still has been that threat so consistently in those late game fights. 03:00:57.260 --> 03:01:00.640 P.L. are going to want to let him get there very well. 03:01:00.640 --> 03:01:04.680 Could be the final game of the series. 03:01:06.180 --> 03:01:11.380 P.L. would need to be the first team to take us to a game four in the entirety of Play-Ins. 03:01:11.380 --> 03:01:16.220 Three O's across the board in every single series. 03:01:16.220 --> 03:01:18.820 You know what, I think it's time to make an executive decision. 03:01:18.820 --> 03:01:20.380 We're going to send two through from Play-Ins. 03:01:20.380 --> 03:01:21.380 Yep, top two to you. 03:01:21.380 --> 03:01:26.060 Honestly fair, you know, I want to see some more TL they might not be, you know, 03:01:26.060 --> 03:01:28.860 be able to take down T1 in the best of five, but they could beat a lot of the 03:01:28.860 --> 03:01:32.700 other teams I feel like in the main stage. So we'll see. Unfortunately, I'm not 03:01:32.700 --> 03:01:36.620 going to be able to change the format here and they're gonna have to win three 03:01:36.620 --> 03:01:40.700 in a row if they want to earn it themselves and get there of their own merit. 03:01:40.700 --> 03:01:45.260 What are you trying? That's the important thing. A man can dream. 03:01:45.260 --> 03:01:51.140 And I have representatives as Pays and Carriers expect to be pretty comfortable in this early 03:01:51.140 --> 03:01:57.140 They're not the most oppressive early on, but when you have a Lulu standing next to you up against a Rakan, it feels like a pretty favorable bottom. 03:01:57.140 --> 03:02:00.140 Yeah, for sure. I mean, you do have that range advantage, right? 03:02:00.140 --> 03:02:06.140 But I do think it's a better level 1 than before. Unfortunately, Core did miss the Q, the gleaming Quill, 03:02:06.140 --> 03:02:15.140 and it's such a big difference on these trades, not only because of the damage, but the positive trade of dealing the damage and getting the heal is so big. 03:02:15.140 --> 03:02:21.340 Big and he is gonna be able to hit that one a lot of work on Lane really is down to how many cues can you hit? 03:02:21.740 --> 03:02:24.980 Because that is gonna allow you to chip them away and keep you topped off 03:02:24.980 --> 03:02:30.540 Yeah, double value on the head getting the damage in the healing double loss on that miss or something will keep an eye on 03:02:31.500 --> 03:02:36.020 Checking out on the early jungle pathing looks like T1 have laid down a bit of vision there to spot it out 03:02:36.020 --> 03:02:40.620 But reminder if you're watching MSI might as well get rewarded for you should get rewarded 03:02:40.620 --> 03:02:44.740 You deserve it so head on over to lollysports.com Isaac anyone else logging with your ride idea 03:02:44.740 --> 03:02:51.700 And watch live for a chance to get those MSI 2026 drops. I think I will 03:02:52.500 --> 03:02:56.700 You can solo cast this one. I'll go log in. Maybe this is like we could just talk about a 03:02:57.500 --> 03:03:00.540 Our boy pace because it seems appropriate at this point in the series 03:03:00.540 --> 03:03:03.540 We're gonna have to hold that thought because there's a hot dog. There's a glizzy on the bottom side 03:03:03.700 --> 03:03:05.700 So we're gonna make himself known 03:03:05.820 --> 03:03:07.020 Or it's a little one though 03:03:07.020 --> 03:03:09.980 They need level two before they can even pretend that this could work 03:03:09.980 --> 03:03:11.580 I was in here on the way. 03:03:11.580 --> 03:03:14.980 Pays jumping over the wall going a completely different direction from Kariah. 03:03:14.980 --> 03:03:17.480 You just cannot follow him. 03:03:17.480 --> 03:03:19.980 That would just take too much time. 03:03:19.980 --> 03:03:21.480 It's too uncertain. 03:03:21.480 --> 03:03:23.480 Good reaction from Pays. 03:03:23.480 --> 03:03:26.980 Yeah, he's going to lose a couple minions, so, you know, it's still a bit annoying, 03:03:26.980 --> 03:03:28.480 but well handled there by Pays. 03:03:28.480 --> 03:03:30.980 The real question is, can owner do anything about it? 03:03:30.980 --> 03:03:36.980 And this is Pays stats from last game, 1532 damage per minute. 03:03:36.980 --> 03:03:40.980 That's the second highest damage per minute internationally all time number one. 03:03:40.980 --> 03:03:46.480 Of course, of course, of course is sneaky as everyone knew back in 2017 on 03:03:46.480 --> 03:03:51.180 Caitlin against W.E. in the World's quarter finals back when C9 made those. 03:03:51.580 --> 03:03:52.080 That's true. 03:03:52.580 --> 03:03:54.980 That's when they qualify for international events. 03:03:54.980 --> 03:03:55.280 Yes. 03:03:55.280 --> 03:03:56.180 Flash from Faker. 03:03:56.780 --> 03:03:59.880 Nice little advantage for the midline matchup for owner. 03:04:00.180 --> 03:04:01.180 He's by the side of the bottom line. 03:04:01.180 --> 03:04:02.080 Flashback from core. 03:04:02.080 --> 03:04:02.980 Now they need to get the hell out. 03:04:02.980 --> 03:04:04.480 Pauli more party there on the on ball breaker. 03:04:04.480 --> 03:04:05.180 Where's it going to go? 03:04:05.180 --> 03:04:07.740 He turned back, instant reaction coming on is good. 03:04:07.740 --> 03:04:09.940 But it will not save his support. 03:04:09.940 --> 03:04:11.660 Yeah, that's just beautifully played there by Oner. 03:04:11.660 --> 03:04:14.260 They knew that Core had used his flash, 03:04:14.260 --> 03:04:16.260 and that he had one charge of his E. 03:04:16.260 --> 03:04:18.980 So it's just kind of that mind game. 03:04:18.980 --> 03:04:21.820 And basically, Oner held the ball breaker so long 03:04:21.820 --> 03:04:23.700 that Core's second charge of his E is going to expire. 03:04:23.700 --> 03:04:25.300 He's got to use it, and then so he just 03:04:25.300 --> 03:04:27.740 has it timed out perfectly, gets in. 03:04:27.740 --> 03:04:30.380 And this is really just the anti-timing for TL. 03:04:30.380 --> 03:04:31.900 They had them in a position where they could actually 03:04:31.900 --> 03:04:32.620 2v2 kill them. 03:04:32.620 --> 03:04:34.740 Karrie has Oom, Karrie is low. 03:04:34.740 --> 03:04:40.420 And then look at this, I mean, there's just nothing you can really do about it because if you don't use that second e-charge, you don't have a way out. 03:04:40.420 --> 03:04:45.180 You're dead. If you do an owner predicts perfectly as you did, well, guess what? You're dead too. 03:04:45.680 --> 03:04:52.020 Good patience, as you highlighted, really does make the difference with those key moments is more training on the top side. 03:04:52.020 --> 03:04:56.580 Morgan doing all right here, getting that prior early on, but not too great an advantage quite yet. 03:04:56.580 --> 03:05:00.820 It's really only owner and pays who are starting to build up those individual leads. 03:05:00.820 --> 03:05:05.820 Yeah, I mean, there is no flash now on Keria, so no summoner is available for him. 03:05:05.820 --> 03:05:09.820 But the same is true on the side of TL. They are both missing their flashes. 03:05:09.820 --> 03:05:11.820 Jon's going to have his barrier back. 03:05:11.820 --> 03:05:15.820 You would love to see them try to take out Keria with no flash, but that's so tough to do. 03:05:15.820 --> 03:05:18.820 They have all these wards. You can see all the question mark things on Jose. 03:05:18.820 --> 03:05:24.820 They know exactly where he is, so Pays and Keria should be really easily able to avoid that. 03:05:24.820 --> 03:05:29.820 And what is just kind of slowly getting whittled away on, he's falling behind in CS. 03:05:29.820 --> 03:05:36.100 And we've seen TL fall behind in this series and find good fights to come back, but this is an especially difficult game to do 03:05:36.100 --> 03:05:42.140 Once you get your ult, you can see the angle with Core on this big engage pick, but again, if you fall too far behind, you highlighted it so well 03:05:42.140 --> 03:05:48.820 It's just so easy for Faker and Pace to kite back to just step away from what is a very linear comp in terms of engage 03:05:48.820 --> 03:05:53.820 You really need Core to be this unexpected element out of Fokker War or it's pretty easy to flash back and win a fight 03:05:53.820 --> 03:05:57.700 Which we have seen him do, right? You know, we saw him have that big moment at the dragon last time 03:05:57.700 --> 03:05:59.700 Now I'll put a trade in here. 03:05:59.700 --> 03:06:01.700 I can get something to do. 03:06:01.700 --> 03:06:03.700 That was just immediately backs off. 03:06:03.700 --> 03:06:05.700 One of the strengths you highlighted in the theory, right? 03:06:05.700 --> 03:06:08.700 Pretty easy to get out of dodge on those short trades. 03:06:08.700 --> 03:06:10.700 Going to be able to hop over walls. 03:06:10.700 --> 03:06:12.700 Going to take those trades. 03:06:12.700 --> 03:06:16.700 The owner had the jump on him, and he's going to have to retreat because Faker had first move. 03:06:16.700 --> 03:06:18.700 And so this should be an easy dragon for T1. 03:06:18.700 --> 03:06:20.700 Bot lane has Pryo. 03:06:20.700 --> 03:06:21.700 Jose got pushed out top. 03:06:21.700 --> 03:06:22.700 Quidd is pushed in mid. 03:06:22.700 --> 03:06:24.700 There's nothing TLs really can do about it. 03:06:24.700 --> 03:06:26.700 So Jan is going to be looking to clear this out. 03:06:26.700 --> 03:06:31.100 to clear this out. Of course, you know, they have vision on the dragon, so Jan's not worried 03:06:31.100 --> 03:06:35.020 that he's about to get dove. That's why he can stay around when Core is facing. If they 03:06:35.020 --> 03:06:38.940 didn't have that ward, it's a lot scarier, right? Because owner could be behind you in 03:06:38.940 --> 03:06:42.540 the brush. Yeah, probably would have forced Core to stay as well, but could the TL were 03:06:42.540 --> 03:06:46.460 able to set up enough vision to ensure that they could get that wave for Jan, still falling 03:06:46.460 --> 03:06:51.300 behind a bit, but not too much as both AD carries clearly, just comfortable stacking 03:06:51.300 --> 03:06:56.020 their coals, trading waves back and forth. Yep. And I mean, we saw kind of the early 03:06:56.020 --> 03:07:00.080 trades go in the way of pays and carrier. But when yawn and core got to a place where 03:07:00.080 --> 03:07:04.120 they actually could look for an all in, that is when owner is there and that is the beauty 03:07:04.120 --> 03:07:08.600 of the top level of team play, right? There are these windows where in certain matchups 03:07:08.600 --> 03:07:12.020 you are going to be weak, you are going to be vulnerable and you want your jungler there 03:07:12.020 --> 03:07:16.320 at that moment. Owner was there at the perfect time. Not only does he save them, he gets 03:07:16.320 --> 03:07:22.280 the first blood, which is going to be so nice for T1 who are again out to an early over 03:07:22.280 --> 03:07:28.080 1k gold lead here at six minutes not as bad as last game by any means last game was 2k at four minutes 03:07:28.080 --> 03:07:34.400 Yeah, but it is still obviously very bad, especially against a team that scales really really well as T1 says yeah 03:07:34.400 --> 03:07:36.080 And it's just it's difficult 03:07:36.080 --> 03:07:38.840 You would like for TL to be able to find a little bit more here in the early game 03:07:38.840 --> 03:07:42.640 But T1 has just been so consistently ahead in that regard 03:07:44.000 --> 03:07:47.980 And another ward there caught Jose so he has just been permanent worded out feels like the whole game 03:07:47.980 --> 03:07:52.980 He finished off those Raptors, the Ward expired from T1, but there were pings on him. 03:07:52.980 --> 03:07:57.980 They know exactly where he is, and that is making it very hard for him to really look for any angles. 03:07:57.980 --> 03:08:01.980 He does have level 6 as his owner, and so their first look is going to be pretty big. 03:08:01.980 --> 03:08:06.980 You know, you're looking for Kor and Jose to try to find that big engage, 03:08:06.980 --> 03:08:08.980 Quinn to be there to follow it up, Morgan to be on a flank. 03:08:08.980 --> 03:08:12.980 It's got to be that kind of a beautiful play, really well coordinated, 03:08:12.980 --> 03:08:21.980 Or I think you can expect Petch-Finding Gaze and Zerikiding back and all of these tools to be used to easily disengage and then potentially chase down. 03:08:22.980 --> 03:08:28.980 Uff, Ultra Shock Laser. Would have just clicked the honesty. Side steps here, forced to stay in lane. 03:08:28.980 --> 03:08:34.980 Pays and carrier once again, comfortable in the early stages, kind of as expected, but now without late game scaling power is faker. 03:08:34.980 --> 03:08:40.980 I have to get it locked up. My asthma is trying to disengage. Good patience coming in for Rosario, but an even better interrupt coming in for a motor. 03:08:40.980 --> 03:08:45.060 Jose no desperately tries to disengage the poison not quite enough to finish him 03:08:45.420 --> 03:08:49.740 That was really well done by owner the Q flash in the alt the perfect CC 03:08:49.740 --> 03:08:53.460 Otherwise figure is dead because figure has no flash mind you. It's just coming up now 03:08:53.460 --> 03:08:59.980 So that was really well tied and both quit and Jose were able to predict and back step and avoid the petrifying gaze 03:08:59.980 --> 03:09:05.820 So beautifully done, but again owner to the rescue here saves the day in the bot lane saves the day in the mid lane 03:09:06.100 --> 03:09:09.620 It is gonna cost him his flash as well as his alt, but this was 03:09:09.620 --> 03:09:13.180 beautifully timed so again they're trying to set this up really nice timing as 03:09:13.180 --> 03:09:17.060 Jose comes out of the overall wall the petrifying gaze avoided by both members 03:09:17.060 --> 03:09:20.700 but then look at this Q flash from Fawth so no way for Jose to actually react 03:09:20.700 --> 03:09:25.540 with the immolability yes Jose does live thanks to the ulti magic shield that 03:09:25.540 --> 03:09:29.300 came down from quid but now Doran is moving here Jose is coming faker has 03:09:29.300 --> 03:09:33.500 first moved this looks tough for TL the way Doran quickly trying to second pass 03:09:33.500 --> 03:09:37.940 but you can't grim deliverance coming out Jose Dioto targetable for a brief 03:09:37.940 --> 03:09:40.020 moment as he fires back on the daggers, but they don't miss. 03:09:40.020 --> 03:09:41.620 Instant flash in coming in from Morgan, 03:09:41.620 --> 03:09:43.020 trying to interrupt owner as best he can. 03:09:43.020 --> 03:09:44.780 Owner right on top of quick, flashing for Faker. 03:09:44.780 --> 03:09:46.380 My eyes were to stop at a potential ball. 03:09:46.380 --> 03:09:47.380 Close near to getting lower and lower, 03:09:47.380 --> 03:09:49.340 but the darkened daggers healing left just in time. 03:09:49.340 --> 03:09:50.620 Morgan desperate to go Faker. 03:09:50.620 --> 03:09:53.180 No, he can't finish off Doran as long as that passive bar 03:09:53.180 --> 03:09:56.460 is stacked, and Doran happy to take him down. 03:09:56.460 --> 03:09:59.780 Nicely done there by T1, winning out for a huge fight 03:09:59.780 --> 03:10:01.340 on the top side. 03:10:01.340 --> 03:10:03.300 The setup really wasn't there for TL. 03:10:03.300 --> 03:10:05.340 They were always kind of like down on health 03:10:05.340 --> 03:10:06.900 at the beginning of that fight. 03:10:06.900 --> 03:10:10.020 And it felt like T1 was always going to have the third man there faster. 03:10:10.020 --> 03:10:11.180 They don't have Gally-Ol. 03:10:11.180 --> 03:10:13.580 They don't have some of these really big tools. 03:10:13.580 --> 03:10:14.860 But they felt they needed to force. 03:10:14.860 --> 03:10:17.180 But, I mean, look at Quid at the start of this fight, right? 03:10:17.180 --> 03:10:19.700 He has very little mana, has basically no health. 03:10:19.700 --> 03:10:21.780 So Quid can't really do much of anything. 03:10:21.780 --> 03:10:23.580 I do think Morgan plays it well. 03:10:23.580 --> 03:10:26.260 But Doran stacks the passive, which means he's not a target. 03:10:26.260 --> 03:10:29.020 Morgan has to try to take down Faker. 03:10:29.020 --> 03:10:32.620 But Faker sinking in those twin fangs, 03:10:32.620 --> 03:10:34.940 kiting it out really, really well. 03:10:34.940 --> 03:10:39.540 and quit smiling on his face, but you know that they can feel it slipping away. 03:10:39.540 --> 03:10:41.900 And you already see how hard the extended fights are. 03:10:41.900 --> 03:10:45.040 Even with the Dominus from Morgan, just the constant twin fang damage, 03:10:45.040 --> 03:10:47.640 Doran the longer he stays in that fight, stacking up the passage, 03:10:47.640 --> 03:10:50.440 just getting more and more AD, that much harder to kill, 03:10:50.440 --> 03:10:53.040 especially once the passive revive is up and available, 03:10:53.040 --> 03:10:55.340 has got another taunt in the mid lane, owner there, 03:10:55.340 --> 03:11:00.840 once again to cover the Goldy growing to 2.3k, two grubs and the Drake. 03:11:00.840 --> 03:11:04.040 So T1 really not giving anything back to Team Liquid Alienware, 03:11:04.040 --> 03:11:09.200 Doran of course a player we're highlighting one of the big differences why we're seeing almost an even more dominant performance 03:11:09.360 --> 03:11:15.120 From T1 here is that he was falling behind in so many of the games in the previous series this time around not the same story 03:11:15.200 --> 03:11:18.960 Yeah, not at all. I think Morgan has played well overall for sure, but 03:11:19.480 --> 03:11:23.260 Definitely was just destroying Doran in the last one. It's it's not been like that at all 03:11:23.260 --> 03:11:28.720 Doran has outplayed him in this series absolutely has had the bigger impact it feels like and so 03:11:28.840 --> 03:11:34.000 It is gonna be really really tough now because TL are playing this hard engage comp with what feels like 03:11:34.040 --> 03:11:38.000 three losing lanes at this point and Hose is getting worded out everywhere 03:11:38.000 --> 03:11:39.880 and 2-1 are going to be all the objectives, right? 03:11:39.880 --> 03:11:42.920 So when you're in a spot like that, it is very, very tough 03:11:42.920 --> 03:11:45.960 because if they see the engage coming, it's hard to imagine them dying to it 03:11:45.960 --> 03:11:48.840 and TL are going to have to be picture perfect 03:11:48.840 --> 03:11:52.240 when they do actually pull the trigger and try to find a committed fight. 03:11:53.120 --> 03:11:55.240 And longer we go, the bigger that deficit gets, 03:11:55.240 --> 03:11:59.440 the higher and higher the stakes get for that big defining moment, that big fight. 03:11:59.440 --> 03:12:05.840 You want to control the area, vision already laid down his page, just tries to poke, chip 03:12:05.840 --> 03:12:10.440 away at health bars. Owners' attention still focused on the Drake, as they might be looking 03:12:10.440 --> 03:12:13.840 to make it a 50-50. The only one he's won so far is when he was able to turn off the 03:12:13.840 --> 03:12:19.840 lights with nocturne. Own around a position. Great, going to the side of T1. 03:12:19.840 --> 03:12:22.960 See, they're going to try to zone them off though. They're going to try to keep them 03:12:22.960 --> 03:12:27.200 away from balling. Yann is going to go push, so Jose and Kor are here to harass while they're 03:12:27.200 --> 03:12:30.940 pushing in mid lane as well so I still think this is pretty nice from TL if you 03:12:30.940 --> 03:12:33.800 can't go for the fight if you can't go for this might fight then you have to 03:12:33.800 --> 03:12:37.060 try to get what you can elsewhere pace goes back to paste they're gonna steal 03:12:37.060 --> 03:12:40.220 away a blue buff they're gonna zone them off you know maybe a couple minions not 03:12:40.220 --> 03:12:43.880 a huge amount but area charm flash immediate alts gonna come through 03:12:43.880 --> 03:12:46.860 wild growth now to follow pace so happy for this he knows they burned all their 03:12:46.860 --> 03:12:50.580 cooldowns they want to keep the fight going owner charging in Q4 and not 03:12:50.580 --> 03:12:54.200 quite enough range to engage but the alti coming out response alt there from 03:12:54.200 --> 03:12:57.000 And then Yon. 03:12:57.000 --> 03:12:59.100 Well handled on both sides, honestly. 03:12:59.100 --> 03:13:01.100 CORE does spend his flash though, 03:13:01.100 --> 03:13:02.400 and that is the big difference. 03:13:02.400 --> 03:13:03.800 It's such an important summoner. 03:13:03.800 --> 03:13:04.900 Quid though, getting behind them, 03:13:04.900 --> 03:13:07.000 and Faker's gone back to mid with no TP. 03:13:07.000 --> 03:13:07.900 Faker not able to join. 03:13:07.900 --> 03:13:08.800 Quid looking to turn back on owner. 03:13:08.800 --> 03:13:10.300 Instantaneous flash coming out. 03:13:10.300 --> 03:13:11.400 Hosidioto, the darkened daggers, 03:13:11.400 --> 03:13:12.600 gotta keep track of that cooldown. 03:13:12.600 --> 03:13:14.000 If they land, it could be a big difference. 03:13:14.000 --> 03:13:15.200 Karrion not gonna get locked up. 03:13:15.200 --> 03:13:16.700 Flashing his own way out. 03:13:16.700 --> 03:13:17.800 Lock up there on Hosidioto. 03:13:17.800 --> 03:13:20.600 Quick dash over the wall, but Faker doesn't need the TP. 03:13:20.600 --> 03:13:22.700 He's arriving just in time on the flank. 03:13:22.700 --> 03:13:23.900 Yon tries to turn it back. 03:13:23.900 --> 03:13:29.260 to get a kill. Vias go on to two, the Tottenham, and up to Petrify, and Gabe, team Liquid, turn 03:13:29.260 --> 03:13:38.860 to stone as T1 takes the fight. T1, a 4,000 gold, a triple kill, four pays, and TL are 03:13:38.860 --> 03:13:46.820 in a world of trouble now if they weren't before. Down 4.5k, super fed Zerry, didn't 03:13:46.820 --> 03:13:50.740 even have to use the summoners on the fight. I respect the attempt from TL because they 03:13:50.740 --> 03:13:52.460 They know they are going to kind of get outscaled. 03:13:52.460 --> 03:13:55.420 They need to go aggressive, but it's a great flash from Keria, 03:13:55.420 --> 03:13:57.940 which means that Galio ult does nothing. 03:13:57.940 --> 03:13:59.380 Then they're focusing Jose. 03:13:59.380 --> 03:14:01.100 TL can't fight on top of the tower 03:14:01.100 --> 03:14:02.380 because they'll get destroyed by it. 03:14:02.380 --> 03:14:04.180 So they're forced to just retreat. 03:14:04.180 --> 03:14:06.900 And Faker had just booked it down to bot lane, 03:14:06.900 --> 03:14:08.660 even though he didn't have the TP. 03:14:08.660 --> 03:14:10.540 They delayed enough that he arrives, 03:14:10.540 --> 03:14:12.980 hits a petrifying gaze, takes out Yan, 03:14:12.980 --> 03:14:16.500 and it is everyone gone from TL. 03:14:16.500 --> 03:14:18.740 Four kills to zero there. 03:14:18.740 --> 03:14:23.620 And TL are going to be in so much trouble. 03:14:23.620 --> 03:14:25.900 Pays is ridiculously fed. 03:14:25.900 --> 03:14:27.500 Going to be working towards the second item 03:14:27.500 --> 03:14:28.460 about the cash in us. 03:14:28.460 --> 03:14:30.940 Call is tough. 03:14:30.940 --> 03:14:32.940 It certainly is. 03:14:32.940 --> 03:14:34.980 I think they say no one is above the law, 03:14:34.980 --> 03:14:40.180 but T1 is certainly above T law at this point in the game. 03:14:40.180 --> 03:14:41.220 It's looking grim. 03:14:41.220 --> 03:14:43.540 And look, I know. 03:14:43.540 --> 03:14:44.020 I know. 03:14:44.020 --> 03:14:45.500 I'm sorry. 03:14:45.500 --> 03:14:47.980 Little dad, you're lighting the mood. 03:14:47.980 --> 03:14:49.980 You know when you're getting 03:14:49.980 --> 03:14:53.440 Let's take a look at the coin base gold grind flawless.

03:17:02.500 --> 03:17:04.900 Hosee did it off to the side, but he can't re-engage. 03:17:04.900 --> 03:17:06.980 1 for 0 in TL's favor. 03:17:06.980 --> 03:17:08.940 Really well handled there by TL. 03:17:08.940 --> 03:17:11.820 And then they actually kite out Pays, Altee. 03:17:11.820 --> 03:17:15.580 So they are going to be able to stop him from just chasing them down. 03:17:15.580 --> 03:17:19.220 But that really is all they do because the Herald still did go to T1. 03:17:20.660 --> 03:17:24.980 By a wall, he's feels like he's just teasing nice backstep from Jose, 03:17:24.980 --> 03:17:27.460 but Baker fast enough to zoom out of that one. 03:17:29.220 --> 03:17:31.700 Yeah, they're going to try to get the objective bounty, which has spawned. 03:17:31.700 --> 03:17:32.780 But this is tough. 03:17:32.780 --> 03:17:34.220 T1 is still around here. 03:17:34.220 --> 03:17:36.420 Owner is running from base. 03:17:36.420 --> 03:17:37.820 Baker is going to base has no TP. 03:17:37.820 --> 03:17:41.260 So T1 making the call to just give it up to will be an objective bounty. 03:17:41.260 --> 03:17:44.500 So more than just the one kill is actually gained at the end of the day 03:17:45.100 --> 03:17:49.140 TL playing some of these skirmishes really well as I feel like they have in a number of games 03:17:49.940 --> 03:17:55.440 But it is always just so tough and you win some early skirmishes you get some little advantages, but 03:17:55.940 --> 03:18:00.980 This team is just so tough to actually knock down. It's very rare that 03:18:01.460 --> 03:18:06.500 T1 just collapses in a team fight, you know, they actually get the whole thing sometimes you just get a little bit 03:18:06.500 --> 03:18:09.500 You get a slight edge, but then when T1 get their fight, 03:18:09.500 --> 03:18:12.100 it feels like they wipe you, they get so much more, 03:18:12.100 --> 03:18:14.500 and that is kind of the devastating effect 03:18:14.500 --> 03:18:16.460 that they seem to have in these fights. 03:18:16.460 --> 03:18:18.140 You land a blow, you get a little chip on the paint, 03:18:18.140 --> 03:18:20.100 they land a blow, you're dead. 03:18:20.100 --> 03:18:21.660 You're punched through the wall. 03:18:21.660 --> 03:18:24.740 You get punched through the wall, it's a little bit tough. 03:18:24.740 --> 03:18:26.580 At this point, it only gets harder 03:18:26.580 --> 03:18:28.100 as the goal discrepancy continues to grow, 03:18:28.100 --> 03:18:30.900 and really again pays the hero of the series 03:18:30.900 --> 03:18:32.700 in so many of these games, especially game two, 03:18:32.700 --> 03:18:34.860 and most certainly here, looking set up to do so, 03:18:34.860 --> 03:18:41.860 in Game 3. Two and a half items, and the later we go, the harder it is going to be to lock this man down. 03:18:41.860 --> 03:18:47.860 You can see the few attempts that Team Liquid and Alienware have had have been close, but not enough to actually get that kill. 03:18:47.860 --> 03:18:49.860 Not enough to actually shut this man down. 03:18:49.860 --> 03:18:54.860 Morgan getting pressured here on the bot side. Harold is there. Can't really do much about this defense. 03:18:54.860 --> 03:18:59.860 They're trying to play on the other side, but Baker is a tough dive under the tower at full health 03:18:59.860 --> 03:19:06.000 And stacking up towards that seraphs love to have that shield. It's gonna be working in towards catalyst here 03:19:06.000 --> 03:19:09.480 And looks like Doran gonna just drift his way out 03:19:11.040 --> 03:19:17.180 Not too far though wants to recall not interested in taking the full ride steps in buddy. That's right. Yeah, that's fair 03:19:17.180 --> 03:19:20.780 He's not a lazy toplane. That's true. Healthy lifestyle. Yeah, I respect it. Yeah 03:19:21.900 --> 03:19:23.620 Morgan 03:19:23.620 --> 03:19:27.960 He tried he had a good fight on the top side and it doesn't have the dominance in level 13 03:19:27.960 --> 03:19:31.740 And I mean that Renekton all can do a lot of work, but again 03:19:31.740 --> 03:19:33.540 I think we painted a pretty clear picture here later 03:19:33.540 --> 03:19:36.980 We go the harder against but for pay is finally on his lonesome might be the angle 03:19:36.980 --> 03:19:42.620 But he's still at the flash the extra damage of the daggers not there yawn now in trouble yield going in all the coming up 03:19:42.620 --> 03:19:46.500 We also watch for motor the extra shield from the barrier getting a bit more space quit on the way trying to get him out 03:19:46.500 --> 03:19:51.720 With the time the shield is there but the door might just finish it pulls him right back in no escapes today 03:19:51.720 --> 03:19:52.720 Hosei! 03:19:52.720 --> 03:19:58.720 Hosei survives there, the one darkened dagger missing from Hosei means they don't quite 03:19:58.720 --> 03:20:03.240 have the damage to take him down and despite some good reactions from Yon, his owner was 03:20:03.240 --> 03:20:05.040 going forward, it just didn't matter. 03:20:05.040 --> 03:20:09.960 T1 now 6.6k ahead, pushing on this tower, Faker wasn't even there, he's pushing top 03:20:09.960 --> 03:20:16.960 lane and T1 just keep getting away with these fights as they always seem to do, they always 03:20:16.960 --> 03:20:21.560 seem to get out with just that blinking health bar equal to the task once again. 03:20:21.560 --> 03:20:27.160 Well played again landing both the daggers so crucial for Jose Diodo, but that little miss that little difference 03:20:27.560 --> 03:20:30.720 Adds up and we expected to see the big five on five 03:20:30.720 --> 03:20:35.000 We expected to see the big fights from this composition, but people could haven't found those angles 03:20:35.000 --> 03:20:38.000 They found little pick opportunities, but even those who've been going awry 03:20:38.440 --> 03:20:40.600 Only makes it that much harder is Doran now 03:20:41.160 --> 03:20:44.720 Debating if he wants to run into Morgan here and figure just look for a pick in a brush 03:20:44.720 --> 03:20:49.640 You can see core is low and figure has no alt so two plus two equals a petrified gaze 03:20:49.640 --> 03:20:56.780 Yep, and we'll see this one more time. So here it is this one darkened dagger does miss it looks like over to the right 03:20:57.040 --> 03:20:59.360 Pays you know flashing the second as well 03:20:59.360 --> 03:21:01.360 So maybe part of the first one tagged him 03:21:01.360 --> 03:21:05.200 It's hard to tell because it is kind of a fat animation the second one definitely got avoided there by pace 03:21:05.200 --> 03:21:06.000 So what played by him? 03:21:06.000 --> 03:21:09.880 Yon is able to cancel the vial and has the barrier lands a nice route 03:21:10.040 --> 03:21:12.680 But quick realizes the fight is done 03:21:12.680 --> 03:21:14.960 So he doesn't even want to go in there and try to appeal for yawn 03:21:14.960 --> 03:21:18.420 Eventually someone was going to get one auto on Yon if he would just die so 03:21:18.420 --> 03:21:22.560 Quid decides he's just got to try to get out of there and live to fight another day. 03:21:22.560 --> 03:21:27.840 Yep. Makes a lot of sense reminder that at the conclusion of this series which of 03:21:27.840 --> 03:21:31.860 course will be in two games when we go to Silver Scrapes, we'll be having the 03:21:31.860 --> 03:21:34.840 draw. Now people have already kind of done the math on the draw. We know the 03:21:34.840 --> 03:21:38.040 winner of this will play against BLG. G2 are already set to play TES but if 03:21:38.040 --> 03:21:41.660 you're an NA fan, finding out who Lion plays is going to be very important for 03:21:41.660 --> 03:21:44.940 your mood after this particular series so be sure to stick around. 03:21:44.940 --> 03:21:53.140 Well we can't play BLG so that's a dub and we can't play T1 so that's another dub. 03:21:53.140 --> 03:21:58.100 But you know what I'm kind of down to see them play anyone it'll be fun main stage is 03:21:58.100 --> 03:22:01.780 going to be a lot of fun seeing all the number one seeds coming in from all these different 03:22:01.780 --> 03:22:05.580 regions it's going to be exciting to see how they can perform I think a lot of people are 03:22:05.580 --> 03:22:09.460 going to be surprised by Feria as well I think they're a really strong team so it should 03:22:09.460 --> 03:22:14.460 It would be fun to watch a lot of these teams, the big names as well as those who aren't as well-known, 03:22:14.460 --> 03:22:23.460 but we'll see if TL can find a way to hang on in this game where T1 have two dragons to one and looking for a chase down here. 03:22:23.460 --> 03:22:28.460 We're just trying to make his way out. 03:22:28.460 --> 03:22:33.460 We'll get the retreat, but he's forced away that sideline, not getting any easier. 03:22:33.460 --> 03:22:38.460 No, it's going to be tough, and Quinn has no TP, Faker does, so Faker can just continue to play towards that topside 03:22:38.460 --> 03:22:41.400 while T1 do look to set up around this dragon. 03:22:41.400 --> 03:22:42.960 It's probably unlikely that they're 03:22:42.960 --> 03:22:44.800 going to be able to contest it very effectively, 03:22:44.800 --> 03:22:47.460 but TLB's need to just have to make their judgment. 03:22:47.460 --> 03:22:49.160 They know they're insanely behind. 03:22:49.160 --> 03:22:51.800 They know that paces on three items with an IE at 21 minutes. 03:22:51.800 --> 03:22:52.640 That's ridiculous. 03:22:52.640 --> 03:22:54.360 They're not blind to that fact. 03:22:54.360 --> 03:22:57.000 Basically, every fight will look like a bad fight. 03:22:57.000 --> 03:23:01.240 You are looking for the fight that looks as good as you can get. 03:23:01.240 --> 03:23:01.880 You know what I mean? 03:23:01.880 --> 03:23:03.840 Even fight is a miracle at this point. 03:23:03.840 --> 03:23:06.600 A 1%er is probably what most of the fights are. 03:23:06.600 --> 03:23:09.280 So if you see a 5% chance, you are going to take it. 03:23:09.280 --> 03:23:10.360 And that's where they are. 03:23:10.360 --> 03:23:11.960 That's what they have to try to look for. 03:23:11.960 --> 03:23:13.320 And they are aware, I think, that T1 03:23:13.320 --> 03:23:14.800 could be trying to sneak this, but the question 03:23:14.800 --> 03:23:16.600 is, can they get over there? 03:23:16.600 --> 03:23:18.440 That's a good question. 03:23:18.440 --> 03:23:19.160 So much vision. 03:23:19.160 --> 03:23:21.840 Jose Diaz spotted TP there. 03:23:21.840 --> 03:23:23.480 Jose has access to the flash. 03:23:23.480 --> 03:23:25.640 The Miasma slowing him down, opting to retreat instead 03:23:25.640 --> 03:23:27.800 of go deeper and trying to play for the 50-50. 03:23:27.800 --> 03:23:29.040 All the in from 4JJ. 03:23:29.040 --> 03:23:30.920 Page immediately gets out! 03:23:30.920 --> 03:23:32.320 It turns to Punish! 03:23:32.320 --> 03:23:33.520 Youngler right back in the air. 03:23:33.520 --> 03:23:34.280 The Fed is pulling back. 03:23:34.280 --> 03:23:35.040 It's good damage. 03:23:35.040 --> 03:23:38.480 but it is simply not enough Paze to quick on the trigger. 03:23:38.480 --> 03:23:40.000 Cores engage, not a half. 03:23:40.000 --> 03:23:43.280 Oh, now Gernaday looks to set him up, that's the triple. 03:23:43.280 --> 03:23:46.160 Looking for four, the entire team ready to take. 03:23:46.160 --> 03:23:49.080 Oh, Quadra coming in. 03:23:49.080 --> 03:23:50.920 He's looking for the pen, so he wants to get it. 03:23:50.920 --> 03:23:54.280 Oh, for Quadra, Pen's gonna finish it! 03:23:54.280 --> 03:23:56.400 And what better way to do it? 03:23:56.400 --> 03:24:00.200 Paze gets the pen to kill here to seal the deal. 03:24:00.200 --> 03:24:04.640 Incredible stuff from the side of T1. 03:24:04.640 --> 03:24:08.320 Undefeated through the entirety of the plans. 03:24:08.320 --> 03:24:10.080 No doubt they were the favorites, 03:24:10.080 --> 03:24:13.760 but this level of dominance is incredible to see. 03:24:13.760 --> 03:24:17.760 The last desperate hold from the second seed of the LCS. 03:24:17.760 --> 03:24:20.760 They played their hardouts, but it was not enough 03:24:20.760 --> 03:24:23.640 in the face of the three-time champs. 03:24:23.640 --> 03:24:27.860 T1 taking their time, taking it to the fountain, 03:24:27.860 --> 03:24:30.280 sending the message to all the teams, 03:24:30.280 --> 03:24:31.960 waiting in the main stage, 03:24:31.960 --> 03:24:38.960 And especially to PLG as a clean sweep team, Liquid Alienware. 03:24:38.960 --> 03:24:40.960 The king is coming. 03:24:40.960 --> 03:24:44.960 Faker and T1 on their way to the main stage. 03:24:44.960 --> 03:24:48.960 They never get knocked out early in tournaments. 03:24:48.960 --> 03:24:50.960 They always are there for the deep runs. 03:24:50.960 --> 03:24:55.960 And it's this level of dominance, this level of consistency that shows you why. 03:24:55.960 --> 03:24:58.960 They are always able to win the day. 03:24:58.960 --> 03:25:01.760 And T1, very impressive in this series. 03:25:01.760 --> 03:25:04.320 TL, I think, can be proud that they pushed them, 03:25:04.320 --> 03:25:06.960 that they had some close games, they had some good performances. 03:25:06.960 --> 03:25:09.240 But it's just not enough against a team of this caliber. 03:25:09.240 --> 03:25:11.720 T1 always coming up big in the clutch moments, 03:25:11.720 --> 03:25:13.920 whether it was a smite from owner, 03:25:13.920 --> 03:25:16.120 whether it was those shock blasts, those hero plays 03:25:16.120 --> 03:25:18.280 from Doran, whether it was a miraculous team 03:25:18.280 --> 03:25:21.760 fight from Paze, a brilliant engage from Faker or Kariah. 03:25:21.760 --> 03:25:24.760 There's always one member there ready to step up 03:25:24.760 --> 03:25:30.480 to take over a game, and TL just could not get past them. 03:25:30.480 --> 03:25:34.240 TL, clean, swift KC can feel good about that one. 03:25:34.240 --> 03:25:37.000 We're not able to make a dent. 03:25:37.000 --> 03:25:38.400 T1's undefeated streak. 03:25:38.400 --> 03:25:40.040 But as you highlight, so many good moments, 03:25:40.040 --> 03:25:42.720 so many good performances, montage moments in some 03:25:42.720 --> 03:25:44.720 of those series, especially from Jose Dioto. 03:25:44.720 --> 03:25:46.640 But that's enough from us here to talk more 03:25:46.640 --> 03:25:47.600 about T1's victory. 03:25:47.600 --> 03:25:49.080 And look ahead to the draw show. 03:25:49.080 --> 03:25:49.960 It's the analyst desk. 03:25:49.960 --> 03:26:00.240 I'm not kidding honestly T1 really went okay you guys had your fun we're gonna wrap it up 03:26:00.240 --> 03:26:06.120 from now on yeah three-minute game to wrap the series razzam they can't see it but I 03:26:06.120 --> 03:26:10.600 am looking at you right now yeah you are you are it's a serious hot-hike they handled 03:26:10.600 --> 03:26:15.840 it's a pure business today T1 showcased a lot and I feel like the one thing that was 03:26:15.840 --> 03:26:22.880 like the most iconic thing from them. Incredible team fighting. Yeah. Like just you cannot 03:26:22.880 --> 03:26:27.800 match Pays in moments like that for like just a split millisecond being able to catch that 03:26:27.800 --> 03:26:30.880 he was going to be a target flashing over the Baron pit wall and then just like being 03:26:30.880 --> 03:26:36.160 able to clean out that was ridiculous level of team fighting and awareness from somebody 03:26:36.160 --> 03:26:41.200 like Pays who is I think solidified going into the main event as the best 80 carry of 03:26:41.200 --> 03:26:44.360 the tournament. Yeah, it feels a bit hard to dispute that with the way that this guy 03:26:44.360 --> 03:26:47.960 playing at the moment. He's been absolutely exceptional and it's not the first time we've 03:26:47.960 --> 03:26:51.560 seen him pop off his play-ins. Now, obviously, Kyle LaBeurre is going to be a step up when 03:26:51.560 --> 03:26:56.600 you get to the main event, but even then, he has set the foundation for every talking point 03:26:56.600 --> 03:27:03.720 that feels like for T1. And what a way to close play-ins. With that, with a penta like that, 03:27:03.720 --> 03:27:08.840 to kind of just blare out whoever our opponents next are. Good luck. The only thing that's running 03:27:08.840 --> 03:27:12.600 through my head is like, did I? I did put them down and my pick-ups did not. I'm great at 03:27:12.600 --> 03:27:19.600 This man has just picked up so many kills, the damage is always there from him, he's been absolutely absurd. 03:27:19.600 --> 03:27:28.600 I remember when the champion came out, I think it was his rookie year when he was back at Gen.G and he was one of the best performance you can think of when you have Xerri available on the rift. 03:27:28.600 --> 03:27:34.600 So the fact that this champion is meta again, enabled with Lulu, good luck in the main event guys! 03:27:34.600 --> 03:27:39.600 Hey guys, it's another champion that you're gonna have to look out for when it comes to T1. 03:27:39.600 --> 03:27:43.600 And I think we answered the playing thinking that they were gonna be heavy favorites. 03:27:43.600 --> 03:27:48.600 I don't think we can readjust expectations with how strong do they look right now. 03:27:48.600 --> 03:27:52.600 It's hard because we only had one-sided games, right, throughout the entire game. 03:27:52.600 --> 03:27:54.600 But how do we feel about T1 so far? 03:27:54.600 --> 03:27:59.600 I feel very strong about them. I will say the opponents will be extremely difficult from here on forward. 03:27:59.600 --> 03:28:08.600 forward so like you still have to recognize HLE that took them down domestically and the likes of BLG that just won first stand so like the opposition is going to be incredible. 03:28:08.600 --> 03:28:16.600 Well that's the thing I think actually like I'm a little bit kind of questioning T1 because honestly I think they have looked good right but like their next opponent is BLG. 03:28:16.600 --> 03:28:22.600 Like if you give a lead like that your individual plays are not just going to match up like they will body you. 03:28:22.600 --> 03:28:26.100 So I think for T1, I want to see a little bit more of a secure early game 03:28:26.100 --> 03:28:29.100 And I don't want to see them still playing towards a style which is playing around bot 03:28:29.100 --> 03:28:31.100 I think we got to see a 03:28:31.900 --> 03:28:35.520 Kind of jokey version of T1. I don't think they're gonna play like this when we get to the main stage 03:28:35.520 --> 03:28:38.820 I don't think they're gonna be as flipping when it comes to where some of their plays 03:28:38.820 --> 03:28:40.420 I think they will really clean it up 03:28:40.420 --> 03:28:47.020 But I that's why I'm kind of critical of this T1 because I don't think we will see this main stage one thing that did get cleaned up easily 03:28:47.020 --> 03:28:52.300 Doran looked like a monster this series. So we'll see where it goes from here. 03:28:52.300 --> 03:28:57.860 Yeah, and see what he has to say. He's on stage right now for the Veris and post-game interview. Let's check it out. 03:28:57.860 --> 03:29:12.300 He's on stage 26, playing stage round 4. At the final gate to the bracket stage, T1 played another 3-0 victory and keep their NSI journey alive. 03:29:12.300 --> 03:29:30.620 We have prepared a little gift for you to celebrate your qualifications to the 03:29:30.620 --> 03:29:45.620 This is Gondori, the mascot of 1993 Teijun Expo, wearing a special T-MU hat to celebrate this NSI. 03:29:45.620 --> 03:29:47.620 Do you like the T-MU Gondori doll? 03:29:47.620 --> 03:29:58.820 Yes, this Gondori wearing this T-Mobile hat looks absolutely adorable. 03:29:58.820 --> 03:30:06.620 I'm so happy that I was able to celebrate this moment, this MSI hosted in K-Jun. 03:30:06.620 --> 03:30:11.120 Another 3-0 today. 03:30:11.120 --> 03:30:16.320 How does it feel to claim the one and only ticket to the practice stage? 03:30:16.320 --> 03:30:26.120 The competition was real, so I was unsure at the beginning whether we can make it through or not, 03:30:26.120 --> 03:30:31.000 but I'm really glad that we were able to pull it off without dropping a single game. 03:30:36.600 --> 03:30:42.440 This playing stage has only had 3-0s. Were you surprised by the result as well? 03:30:42.440 --> 03:30:51.440 To be honest, there were some games where I didn't play up to my expectations. 03:30:51.440 --> 03:30:57.440 Sometimes I was kind of not performing at the best level, but me and my team all together worked really hard. 03:30:57.440 --> 03:31:03.440 So I think that's how we were able to pull it off. 03:31:03.440 --> 03:31:08.440 Morgan has been in great form recently, so a lot of people were paying attention to the top lane matchup. 03:31:08.440 --> 03:31:11.440 How did it go? 03:31:11.440 --> 03:31:18.400 Because I have so much experience playing up against him in the LCK, so preparation 03:31:18.400 --> 03:31:25.520 wasn't too difficult and I think we were able to have a great game together. 03:31:25.520 --> 03:31:28.920 You had an incredible performance on the top lane today. 03:31:28.920 --> 03:31:35.520 How would you like to sum up today's match and how would you like to rate your performance? 03:31:35.520 --> 03:31:42.520 Although we got a 3-0 win today, I'm expecting a lot more hardships to come in the future, 03:31:42.520 --> 03:31:47.520 so we have to still lock in and prepare for the upcoming bracket stage matches. 03:31:50.520 --> 03:31:56.520 What kind of mindset are you going to bring to the bracket stage? 03:31:56.520 --> 03:32:04.520 I feel like I should rather not focus too much on, like, I gotta do well, I gotta prove, you know? 03:32:04.520 --> 03:32:09.520 I think playing at the end will help me in the break of stage. 03:32:13.520 --> 03:32:20.520 Now you will be facing B.O.G in the break of stage, and it's going to be a reunion of you and Bin. 03:32:25.520 --> 03:32:32.520 So I'm going to be a little bit of a combat interview from Bin, so I think I got to teach him some lessons. 03:32:34.520 --> 03:32:39.520 That was Dora from T1. Thank you very much. 03:32:43.520 --> 03:32:47.520 Yes, I love the instant clap back from Doran here. 03:32:47.520 --> 03:32:50.520 And I'm going to give you a bit of context here in case you didn't see it. 03:32:50.520 --> 03:32:54.520 There is an interview that is heavily trending on Weibo right now where Bin said, 03:32:54.520 --> 03:32:59.520 I feel like ever since my debut, whenever I go up against Doran, I always have the upper hand. 03:32:59.520 --> 03:33:05.120 Actually, I knew he wasn't playing very well this NSI, but I didn't expect him to be that bad. 03:33:07.840 --> 03:33:12.880 Ben, when he talks, the fans, BLG fans are like, are you gonna put your foot in your mouth? 03:33:12.880 --> 03:33:15.440 That might light a fire under Doran. 03:33:15.440 --> 03:33:18.800 I mean, at least put the foot in the throat with that one for the beginning. 03:33:18.800 --> 03:33:19.040 Yeah. 03:33:19.040 --> 03:33:20.880 Because my word, but that's the thing. 03:33:20.880 --> 03:33:23.280 Ben has always kind of got the better of him in a lot of those situations. 03:33:23.280 --> 03:33:23.600 He did. 03:33:23.600 --> 03:33:25.760 So I am curious what this version's gonna look like. 03:33:25.760 --> 03:33:30.360 because Doran did have a couple of whoopsies, today was significantly better though. 03:33:30.360 --> 03:33:37.360 Just the fact that he knew and was aware of that interview going into today and it looked like he was on something. 03:33:37.360 --> 03:33:42.160 Doran looked insane, so I feel like that could have been a motivating force. 03:33:42.160 --> 03:33:49.360 He looked insane against a player that he's been used to playing against, remember Morgan when he was with Pro in the LCK, 03:33:49.360 --> 03:33:55.160 but still, Ben is a different beast, but knowing Doran, seeing his interviews usually, 03:33:55.160 --> 03:33:59.560 He does not talk like this. He is angry. He is fired up. 03:33:59.560 --> 03:34:02.560 I'm going to be looking at that top lane matchup more than anything. 03:34:02.560 --> 03:34:09.560 That's just the fact that we're all kind of aware that that's the match that's going to happen between BLG and T1. 03:34:09.560 --> 03:34:13.160 There's so much history between those two organizations as is. 03:34:13.160 --> 03:34:19.160 Yeah, I mean, all the time we seem to get these two teams facing up at MSI where BLG can sometimes get the better of them. 03:34:19.160 --> 03:34:22.160 When you look more towards the worlds though, it belongs to T1. 03:34:22.160 --> 03:34:35.160 But even just coming back to Doran, it's going to be hard for him, the way BLG play is, hey, we're going to like unlock on and put a ton of resources up towards that top end of the map, like invest in being, try and play towards his strength. 03:34:35.160 --> 03:34:41.160 If you end up in a bad matchup and you end up with two, three members of BLG up there as well, Doran's going to have his work cut out for him. 03:34:41.160 --> 03:34:46.160 And we have been used to T1 not giving him any counter pick, not giving him that much attention. 03:34:46.160 --> 03:34:50.480 attention was drawn to bot lane, especially with the owner focusing on that lane, do you 03:34:50.480 --> 03:34:53.120 want to switch things up in a matchup like this? 03:34:53.120 --> 03:34:54.120 That's what I'm wondering. 03:34:54.120 --> 03:34:55.560 Oh, that's a good point. 03:34:55.560 --> 03:35:00.880 I will say, just gonna put it out there, this team has a lot of weapons, which made it really 03:35:00.880 --> 03:35:05.200 difficult to pick out who was going to be the opa player in the game. 03:35:05.200 --> 03:35:06.920 And I was thinking it was going to be Doran. 03:35:06.920 --> 03:35:08.320 I thought it was going to be Doran. 03:35:08.320 --> 03:35:09.320 But that pays. 03:35:09.320 --> 03:35:13.000 It would have been any of them, but yeah, then Xerri doing Xerri things. 03:35:13.000 --> 03:35:14.000 Xerri doing Xerri things. 03:35:14.000 --> 03:35:16.540 Yeah, open player of the series, giving it to Pace. 03:35:16.540 --> 03:35:22.260 I mean, it's interesting to see how he developed joining T1 this year, replacing Guma. 03:35:22.260 --> 03:35:26.000 There was a lot of expectations on him, especially coming back to the LCK. 03:35:26.260 --> 03:35:30.820 Six months into the season with this big beginning of the journey at MSI. 03:35:31.060 --> 03:35:32.020 How do you feel about Pace? 03:35:32.380 --> 03:35:35.280 I mean, I think he's really leveled up after coming back from the LPL. 03:35:35.280 --> 03:35:38.480 He just feels like he's got that aggression in him that he's always 03:35:38.480 --> 03:35:41.460 kind of the life's edge, but understand exactly where he needs to push. 03:35:41.460 --> 03:35:46.740 And it doesn't matter what's happening. It feels like you give like whether it's solution whether it's the Zerry whether 03:35:46.740 --> 03:35:52.460 It's a Caitlyn like the guy is always going to find those leads and always going to be able to play through that strength 03:35:52.460 --> 03:35:57.360 And it's impressive to me how regularly he's able to get winning positions 03:35:57.360 --> 03:36:00.820 But like absolutely blow a team out of the water from that position 03:36:00.820 --> 03:36:09.220 Yeah, I mean so much of this is what pays is incredible at seeing moments in teamfights that no one else will that Ezreal 03:36:09.220 --> 03:36:13.200 game where he just like popped over in front of three team liquid members some 03:36:13.200 --> 03:36:16.480 most of the players that I see if they ever do that they get popped instantly 03:36:16.480 --> 03:36:19.680 and people call him an intro but he sees that window and he's able to clean up so 03:36:19.680 --> 03:36:23.720 in terms of maximizing damage he is one of the best at it. 03:36:23.720 --> 03:36:28.800 I'm looking forward to seeing what C1 is going to be able to showcase here in the main stage because you 03:36:28.800 --> 03:36:33.240 say they're gonna clean up their gameplay this is exactly how they've been playing so far in DLCG 03:36:33.240 --> 03:36:38.680 throughout the whole year. This sloppiness that for me is not something that they 03:36:38.680 --> 03:36:42.280 something that they should keep on doing but again they're not gonna have a lot 03:36:42.280 --> 03:36:45.040 of time to figure it out and thinking about the playing stage what we've seen 03:36:45.040 --> 03:36:49.840 so far only 3-0's by the way we're beating the record of the longest streak 03:36:49.840 --> 03:36:56.520 of 3-0's today with this series. What have you learned in tier 1? Well we were just saying 03:36:56.520 --> 03:37:00.120 all this about Paze and how well he was able to maximize damage the fact that 03:37:00.120 --> 03:37:03.720 he got the second highest damage per minute in an international in that 03:37:03.720 --> 03:37:11.400 second game. Yeah, but so you're right. Some of those circuses, it's hectic, right? But 03:37:11.400 --> 03:37:14.720 it could turn into something beautiful, which is great team fighting and that could be something 03:37:14.720 --> 03:37:17.520 that wins of an event like this. Yeah, I do think though, like some of the 03:37:17.520 --> 03:37:22.920 takeaways I've had for T1 is like, like mages are no joke. Mages bot lane are kind of insane. 03:37:22.920 --> 03:37:26.200 And if you end up a carry on things like the Camille, that becomes a very different ball 03:37:26.200 --> 03:37:30.000 game trying to manage that aggression in the early stage. But I do think that then calls 03:37:30.000 --> 03:37:34.800 out where you have to be very careful if you're going up against T1 to make sure you're not 03:37:34.800 --> 03:37:39.120 giving those early plays across and even the barge we got to see earlier from Karrion, 03:37:39.120 --> 03:37:44.480 this like roaming style is still a big thresh which is something you just have to keep under 03:37:44.480 --> 03:37:47.520 check even if they're not playing that 2v2 high progressive bot lane. 03:37:49.040 --> 03:37:54.080 I'm hearing some, like my palms are sweaty only knowing that the G1 show is coming, 03:37:54.080 --> 03:37:59.280 that we're getting there, yes. We have most of the matchups already so we know that we're going 03:37:59.280 --> 03:38:03.880 We're gonna have a T1 versus PLG, we know that we're gonna have a GT versus TSI embracing 03:38:03.880 --> 03:38:06.320 myself with this one because that's usually a good news. 03:38:06.320 --> 03:38:07.320 Maybe not this time around though. 03:38:07.320 --> 03:38:10.240 We'll see about this in just a few seconds. 03:38:10.240 --> 03:38:12.360 The draw show is ready on stage. 03:38:12.360 --> 03:38:19.360 So prepping you a bit for the way it has been done here, the schedule is not gonna be decided 03:38:19.360 --> 03:38:20.360 yet. 03:38:20.360 --> 03:38:21.360 We don't have it yet for now. 03:38:21.360 --> 03:38:26.840 What we do have as we said is the fact that the four tiers have been based on historic 03:38:26.840 --> 03:38:31.880 regional performances and the region's strength at first stand in 20-26. 03:38:31.880 --> 03:38:38.000 Tier 1 teams will face tier 4 teams and tier 2 teams will face tier 3 teams. 03:38:38.000 --> 03:38:42.600 So we know that BLG cannot play against TS and because they're from the same region, 03:38:42.600 --> 03:38:45.480 so the first two match-up are decided as we've talked about. 03:38:45.480 --> 03:38:48.560 And I believe the first ball drawn will be playing against the Lions as well. 03:38:48.560 --> 03:38:53.160 So there's only two balls that are in the pit there because we already have these decided. 03:38:53.160 --> 03:38:59.160 So today we're going to draw the tier 3 teams as we said, CpDoll, Furia, and the LCP's secret wales. 03:38:59.160 --> 03:39:05.460 The first team drawn is going to go face off against Lion on the top side of the bracket, 03:39:05.460 --> 03:39:09.360 while the other will face Honwalife Esports on the other side of the bracket. 03:39:09.360 --> 03:39:10.660 You already know who I want. 03:39:10.660 --> 03:39:11.660 The Lion. 03:39:11.660 --> 03:39:12.860 Give us Furia. 03:39:12.860 --> 03:39:16.160 We have, like, I feel like that I haven't really existed for a while, 03:39:16.160 --> 03:39:19.160 and Cloud9 has put some dirt on our necks. 03:39:19.160 --> 03:39:22.560 Cause they say Furia did a lot of work for unused in the Americas cult. 03:39:22.560 --> 03:39:27.960 I'm like I can understand the revenge, but I'm also like that's a dangerous level dangerous 03:39:27.960 --> 03:39:33.680 Yeah, they're a dangerous team. Batu has been an exceptional jungler, an incredibly creative jungler, and so there's a lot there 03:39:33.960 --> 03:39:39.560 So that team, I mean they play Yasuo, Bot lane as well like from the draft alone is really really 03:39:40.120 --> 03:39:45.120 Scary, but yes, these are the bracket. These are the teams that are already decided like we're already said 03:39:45.200 --> 03:39:48.520 We're just seeing what Lyon and HLE get the face off against 03:39:49.400 --> 03:39:51.880 So we've talked about BLG versus Qon 03:39:51.880 --> 03:39:59.880 I said that I'm raising myself for G2 versus TS because of historical beef between these two teams and the way it usually goes. 03:39:59.880 --> 03:40:02.880 How am I hoping here? 03:40:02.880 --> 03:40:09.880 The problem is the most recent match, like, set of data we have with Worlds where we went 0-1 and then 1-3, 03:40:09.880 --> 03:40:12.880 where Toppies worth BG2 at Worlds in 2025. 03:40:12.880 --> 03:40:15.880 So I'm a little bit more nervous about that matchup. 03:40:15.880 --> 03:40:19.880 Plus I think TN is playing absolutely insane at the moment. 03:40:19.880 --> 03:40:24.800 So I think that's Q1 TN matchup is going to be so much fun to watch because that's the thing 03:40:24.800 --> 03:40:27.880 Even though these two organizations do have history. There's so many new faces 03:40:27.880 --> 03:40:32.320 You're right. TN is gonna be on the team and not like Kanabi who was on the team in the prior event 03:40:32.320 --> 03:40:37.240 And then on top that you have Fengyu who's a rookie and you have Zoyan who's like in on this stage 03:40:37.480 --> 03:40:44.440 First time at an international. There's a lot happening there for top e-sports. There's generational trauma of TN versus G3 sports 03:40:44.440 --> 03:40:48.440 Yeah, 2019, baby. No one remembered this one. 03:40:48.440 --> 03:40:53.820 But given the fact that Jitsu has been performing really well as first stand, 03:40:53.820 --> 03:40:57.820 came close against BLG, I'm gonna say close, I'm coping with PD. 03:40:57.820 --> 03:40:59.320 I'm wondering how it's gonna be. 03:40:59.320 --> 03:41:01.480 Give us Gloria, let's see. 03:41:01.480 --> 03:41:02.480 Give it to us. 03:41:05.880 --> 03:41:06.880 Kill it to us! 03:41:06.880 --> 03:41:08.880 Yay! 03:41:08.880 --> 03:41:12.480 LC Esmer is the CD of all of the classics. 03:41:12.480 --> 03:41:14.080 Okay, you can read. 03:41:14.080 --> 03:41:16.720 The thing is, Fury's been talking a lot for good reason. 03:41:16.720 --> 03:41:19.040 They've been beating us. They've been beating our ass. 03:41:19.040 --> 03:41:20.640 So we definitely want that match up. 03:41:20.640 --> 03:41:25.360 But the problem is, if you win both sides of the two rivalries you have at this event, 03:41:25.360 --> 03:41:27.440 I'm never going to hear the end of your game. 03:41:27.440 --> 03:41:29.600 Yeah, yeah. I'm already yapping. 03:41:29.600 --> 03:41:31.120 And I know I'm annoying as hell. 03:41:33.360 --> 03:41:35.760 Anyone want to assist Team Secret Wales? 03:41:35.760 --> 03:41:37.280 On the other side of the bracket, as you say. 03:41:37.280 --> 03:41:39.440 That is an incredibly tough matchup for Team Secret Wales. 03:41:39.440 --> 03:41:43.440 And I know for LCT as a region, they want to be able to show 03:41:43.440 --> 03:41:46.280 A, the performance that you usually seek from them domestically. 03:41:46.280 --> 03:41:52.520 And from a lot of those players that had that international experience in first stand that we saw from the other prior events, 03:41:52.520 --> 03:41:55.720 they have been cleaning house in the LCP. 03:41:55.720 --> 03:41:58.200 So they need to be able to show that internationally now. 03:41:58.200 --> 03:42:01.000 They definitely took matchups for the Commonwealth. 03:42:01.000 --> 03:42:04.760 Not exactly known for taking it easy on people. 03:42:04.760 --> 03:42:09.080 Especially the early game, but cannot be coming across the early game for that team is absolutely insane. 03:42:09.080 --> 03:42:11.160 But you can see the matchups on your screen. 03:42:11.160 --> 03:42:12.280 Honestly? 03:42:12.280 --> 03:42:18.920 There's like three of the four absolute bangers, and I'm sorry team secret Wales you drew to the short straw here 03:42:18.920 --> 03:42:21.880 Yeah, I mean there was not gonna be an easy metro for them 03:42:25.960 --> 03:42:27.640 Right of Vietnam 03:42:27.640 --> 03:42:32.960 Non-stop fighting I want to see pun put in a position where he can get that ball there or something right you 03:42:32.960 --> 03:42:34.520 You gotta give him a creative counterpick 03:42:34.520 --> 03:42:37.920 But I think for me the most important one is the stuff we were already talking about fire 03:42:37.920 --> 03:42:40.520 which is G2 versus Top B sports. 03:42:40.520 --> 03:42:42.040 Seeing them in an international event 03:42:42.040 --> 03:42:44.200 got a lot of Chinese fans stomach-churning. 03:42:44.200 --> 03:42:45.200 Yeah. 03:42:45.200 --> 03:42:46.320 But it's different this time. 03:42:46.320 --> 03:42:49.200 And it's BLG T1 in the off to side, who like, 03:42:49.200 --> 03:42:51.920 it never really is a great, like an easy matchup 03:42:51.920 --> 03:42:56.040 anytime you go against T1 and like, at least not Worlds. 03:42:56.040 --> 03:42:57.040 Yeah. 03:42:57.040 --> 03:42:58.040 Which is basically the one saving grace, 03:42:58.040 --> 03:43:00.280 because BLG and the LPL has never beaten T1 at Worlds. 03:43:00.280 --> 03:43:02.880 But at least at MSI, the data kind of 03:43:02.880 --> 03:43:04.640 half skews a little bit more in their favor. 03:43:04.640 --> 03:43:05.640 Yeah. 03:43:05.640 --> 03:43:08.520 T1, they've been top three for the last five years, 03:43:08.520 --> 03:43:10.560 but obviously not winning the event. 03:43:10.560 --> 03:43:13.080 It's been that one event that's been really difficult for them. 03:43:13.080 --> 03:43:15.320 But Paze can be like, I want 2024. 03:43:15.320 --> 03:43:18.400 I'm in the winner here. 03:43:18.400 --> 03:43:21.360 But Knight is just the best mid laner at the event, 03:43:21.360 --> 03:43:22.680 the best player in the world. 03:43:22.680 --> 03:43:25.320 Knight has been, even though through all the hectic nonsense 03:43:25.320 --> 03:43:28.440 that's been happening, he's just been super consistent. 03:43:28.440 --> 03:43:30.040 So I want to see that matchup again. 03:43:30.040 --> 03:43:31.880 It's another chance for him to show his worth. 03:43:31.880 --> 03:43:36.360 one he won MSI prior so it's time for him to get another one. 03:43:36.360 --> 03:43:38.360 You think he's going BLG? 03:43:38.360 --> 03:43:40.360 I mean I'm the next, but Bodex help here. 03:43:40.360 --> 03:43:42.360 Yeah, I know, I'm not going to say BLG. 03:43:42.360 --> 03:43:44.840 Yeah, BLG winning the event. 03:43:44.840 --> 03:43:49.400 Yeah, I honestly I do think Knight is probably the best mid laner in the world right now. 03:43:49.400 --> 03:43:49.640 Yeah. 03:43:49.640 --> 03:43:54.760 And if he can show that this event I think it gives us so much then to talk about like going 03:43:54.760 --> 03:43:58.840 towards the rest of the year but he's been playing absolutely phenomenal, his teamfight is insane, 03:43:58.840 --> 03:44:03.360 His lane isn't safe. He averages 7 kills a game. 03:44:03.360 --> 03:44:04.040 Yeah, that's ridiculous. 03:44:04.040 --> 03:44:05.240 That is absurd! 03:44:05.240 --> 03:44:05.800 It's crazy. 03:44:05.800 --> 03:44:09.000 So like, coming into the main stage, I think he is the player to watch. 03:44:09.000 --> 03:44:11.880 And if immediately T1 can take the BLG scalp, 03:44:11.880 --> 03:44:14.480 I think that very quickly changes so many of the narratives 03:44:14.480 --> 03:44:16.600 that a lot of pundits have come into this turn. 03:44:16.600 --> 03:44:19.640 What's scary about this team, and what made them and got them 03:44:19.640 --> 03:44:23.120 a first-hand championship was the fact that you could look at any other lane 03:44:23.120 --> 03:44:25.240 and see someone that could carry it out, right? 03:44:25.240 --> 03:44:26.680 Like, Viper's on this team. 03:44:26.680 --> 03:44:30.360 The same could be said with Ben, who's just having beef with Doran. 03:44:30.360 --> 03:44:32.280 Any one of those. 03:44:32.280 --> 03:44:35.560 And you can't disrespect Sun, who I think has been a really pivotal piece. 03:44:35.560 --> 03:44:37.720 Now they don't have to have that rotating Doran in the jungle. 03:44:37.720 --> 03:44:39.080 They have someone that they can rely on. 03:44:39.080 --> 03:44:43.480 And I feel like this team is ready to win an MSI. 03:44:43.480 --> 03:44:46.040 Closing thoughts on G2 TS. 03:44:46.040 --> 03:44:49.320 I know we've talked about the Faga TS as a different beast here, 03:44:49.320 --> 03:44:52.600 even if I'm hoping that they're going to be the team 03:44:52.600 --> 03:44:54.760 that they usually are internationally. 03:44:54.760 --> 03:44:55.960 What are we looking at here? 03:44:55.960 --> 03:45:02.120 How much of the fire that G2 had at first hand do you think they can bring back to the stage on the first series they have? 03:45:02.120 --> 03:45:13.240 I love the fact that you called out first hand. To me, it's all about Stunman and yes, the bot lane as well because they were the biggest surprise to me that got them a huge win over the two LCK teams. 03:45:13.240 --> 03:45:21.360 Gen G especially at first hand, so Stunman is a real star. He's somebody that you could just put him on any champion, give him a nastus angle. 03:45:21.360 --> 03:45:29.360 So this is honestly the best draw that could have from an LPL and LCK team to get top eSports, even though we're giving top eSports a lot of praise. 03:45:29.360 --> 03:45:30.360 How do you feel? 03:45:30.360 --> 03:45:34.360 I think it's also giving G2 time to kind of see where the meta stands and start to work out. 03:45:34.360 --> 03:45:39.360 Like counter picks and answers to a lot of what their strategies are going to be, I think works out well. 03:45:39.360 --> 03:45:41.360 I do think it is going to be tough against TN. 03:45:41.360 --> 03:45:47.360 It's actually when he's like so locked in with Hungryway and how they play around the early game and looking for invades. 03:45:47.360 --> 03:45:50.400 If there is a team that's going to be able to do it, it's G2. 03:45:50.400 --> 03:45:54.880 Like, Skiomon is the best jungler in LEC for a reason, and I'm just looking forward to 03:45:54.880 --> 03:45:55.880 seeing how that one pops out. 03:45:55.880 --> 03:45:58.240 I know a lot of people are hearing the cheers. 03:45:58.240 --> 03:46:00.240 I think it's CasterJun's birthday. 03:46:00.240 --> 03:46:01.240 Oh! 03:46:01.240 --> 03:46:04.240 Right there, and everyone's cheering them on. 03:46:04.240 --> 03:46:06.240 That is absolutely beautiful. 03:46:06.240 --> 03:46:07.240 That is amazing. 03:46:07.240 --> 03:46:08.240 What a legend. 03:46:08.240 --> 03:46:09.240 I don't know. 03:46:09.240 --> 03:46:11.240 We're going to have to get over there. 03:46:11.240 --> 03:46:13.240 Yeah, oh, cute moments. 03:46:13.240 --> 03:46:15.240 Yeah, there's a lot of birthdays. 03:46:15.240 --> 03:46:16.240 Yeah, there is. 03:46:16.240 --> 03:46:17.440 Kobe, Kassar, John. 03:46:17.440 --> 03:46:18.440 What's going on there? 03:46:18.440 --> 03:46:18.940 That's true. 03:46:18.940 --> 03:46:19.440 Hi. 03:46:19.440 --> 03:46:20.800 Month of Celebration. 03:46:20.800 --> 03:46:21.800 And Esports. 03:46:21.800 --> 03:46:22.300 Hi. 03:46:22.300 --> 03:46:23.300 There's a few celebrations. 03:46:23.300 --> 03:46:26.140 And I mean, looking at this, by the way, this MSI 03:46:26.140 --> 03:46:30.480 play-ins, 3-0, 3-0, 3-0, 3-0, we've never seen anything like 03:46:30.480 --> 03:46:31.480 this. 03:46:31.480 --> 03:46:32.760 That's insane. 03:46:32.760 --> 03:46:34.960 That's not going to happen going into the main stage. 03:46:34.960 --> 03:46:37.440 Competition's too tough, I think. 03:46:37.440 --> 03:46:37.940 Sorry. 03:46:37.940 --> 03:46:38.440 I agree. 03:46:38.440 --> 03:46:40.240 I wanted to poke your brain on something because you were 03:46:40.240 --> 03:46:41.840 hoping for that lion matchup. 03:46:41.840 --> 03:46:45.080 I do want to call back to what happened to them at MSI, not 03:46:45.080 --> 03:46:50.120 MSI at first hand at the beginning of the year and the fact that they were really disappointed in the showing that they had 03:46:50.780 --> 03:46:57.140 It's a good matchup on paper for them. But how sleep are you can it be? It can be I think a lot of the times 03:46:57.140 --> 03:47:01.660 There's always that feeling that like we shouldn't lose the CBL all right like once upon a time 03:47:01.660 --> 03:47:02.540 They're a minor region 03:47:02.540 --> 03:47:09.980 But like this is just a completely different CBL all and that has been proven when Furia went to MSI and took G2 to 5 games 03:47:10.060 --> 03:47:12.220 Like and they could have easily made it to that 03:47:12.220 --> 03:47:18.640 MSI main stage and then they went to America's Cup and handed both not just C9 but Sentinels 03:47:18.640 --> 03:47:22.060 They put us on our butts like there's a such a I 03:47:22.540 --> 03:47:26.800 Would want to say decisive team that you have to be willing to take fights against them 03:47:26.800 --> 03:47:29.780 Or you have to be as smart as them because yeah 03:47:29.780 --> 03:47:32.080 That's it will definitely do a lot of things that you don't expect 03:47:32.080 --> 03:47:36.780 Yeah, I think it's also speaks a lot to the work that ThinkCard is putting with this team that like they kind of came together 03:47:36.780 --> 03:47:41.000 Is like incredibly mechanically strong but like the macro is there now for them 03:47:41.000 --> 03:47:42.320 Their understanding draft is there. 03:47:42.320 --> 03:47:47.760 Like it really feels like they are all round, like strong, strong team coming from the region 03:47:47.760 --> 03:47:50.360 and one that will represent them well on this main stage. 03:47:50.360 --> 03:47:54.520 And it's just a question of are teams ready for that powerhouse coming through from the CBLO? 03:47:54.520 --> 03:47:59.000 Yeah, and of course, Thinkard moving on towards Blackbush, but he always sings praises to the current staff 03:47:59.000 --> 03:48:02.400 and the current teams like, I don't want to, I don't want to assume. 03:48:02.400 --> 03:48:05.120 I just want to get back. That's it. That's all I want. 03:48:05.120 --> 03:48:08.560 I recognize that it's a harder team to face in comparison to Team Seeker Worlds, 03:48:08.560 --> 03:48:12.080 But I still want to be able to have that because that's a new flourishing rivalry 03:48:12.080 --> 03:48:16.160 And they're gonna have a bit more time than some teams to prepare as ladies and gentlemen 03:48:16.160 --> 03:48:17.840 We have a schedule 03:48:17.840 --> 03:48:21.880 The game that we're gonna open the main event with on july 3rd 03:48:21.880 --> 03:48:25.640 So it's gonna be Friday at 12 KST 03:48:25.640 --> 03:48:30.440 It's gonna be H&E vs. Team Secret 12 followed by G2 vs. TES 03:48:30.440 --> 03:48:37.920 On july 4th Saturday, it is gonna be Lion vs. Feria and second matchup will be BLG vs. T1 03:48:37.920 --> 03:48:40.320 Okay, so we get the main event for last. 03:48:40.320 --> 03:48:41.760 Oh, it's also 4th of July, right? 03:48:41.760 --> 03:48:42.960 Oh, true! 03:48:42.960 --> 03:48:46.960 We have to win that one, boys!

We'll see you in two days. Be nice to each other come back in two days and we'll see them 03:49:18.680 --> 03:49:20.680 Take these guys 03:49:36.000 --> 03:49:39.760 Triple looking for four, the entire team ready to take. 03:49:39.760 --> 03:49:42.640 Oh, Quadra coming in. 03:49:42.640 --> 03:49:43.640 He's looking for the Penta. 03:49:43.640 --> 03:49:44.640 He wants to put it. 03:49:44.640 --> 03:49:47.880 Oh, Penta don't finish it. 03:49:47.880 --> 03:49:49.920 And what better way to do it? 03:49:49.920 --> 03:49:53.760 Pays gets the Penta kill here to seal the deal. 03:49:53.760 --> 03:49:58.200 Incredible stuff from the side of T1. 03:49:58.200 --> 03:50:01.840 Undefeated through the entirety of the plans. 03:50:01.840 --> 03:50:03.600 No doubt they were the favorites, 03:50:03.600 --> 03:50:07.100 But this level of dominance is incredible to see.
